{I WANT TO PAINT YOU A RAINBOW}

Greed

2007-08-05T14:16:00.000+08:00

Greed

Greed is a terrible and yet amazing source of driving force. It manipulates man-kind, brainwashes people, breaks ties, etc. Everyone knows it's evil, it's undesirable and yet so many of us succumb to it. I am almost certain(more than 90%) that this will not happen to me as i am someone who treasures relationships and ties for those who knows me well. For my friends out there, I do hope greed does not take over you cos when that do, you can strike me off your friend's list.

There's someone in the world called Neo Poh Heng, who succumbed to it. Stubborn and hot-temper was his character. Being the youngest in the family, he got lucky and get to pursue a degree, while his elder brother only get to study up to P4, and started working at the age of 12. That wouldn't be possible without the help of his second sister, whose husband took up a loan for him as guarantor.

Time flies. 30 over yrs passed. Their mum passed away recently. They were very sad and mourning over their beloved mum's death. That was 100 days ago. Now, it seems Poh Heng is able to put it all behind. It's not a bad thing. I believe that as his mum, she would be happy for him, unlike his elder brother and second sister. Afterall, all parents love their children. But this is when the problem starts.

Now Poh Heng wants to sell the house and fetch his dad over to his house. No problem with that, afterall his dad dotes on him and he is the only one giving him money every month. The dad is like a machine who is manipulated. He has no say over the decision of the house even though it's his. Now everything's more or less confirmed. Poh Heng schemed so that everything will go into his own pocket despite having 3 siblings. Bad mouth-ing, quarrels, picking on siblings, aggitating them. All ready to break ties in the family. The brother and sister i supposed.

Everything sounded dramatic. This sounds unreal as this is something that will only happen in dramas. But no this is true.

So, let me introduce you to Neo Poh Heng. He is my uncle, 小叔, whom i think will be a 'was' soon.

I felt numb and at the same time sorry for my dad, who is at the receiving end for all his shit. He shouldered responsibility for the family, even though he had 3 sons and 1 daughter, received little education and worked real hard to earn enough for the family and of course to support my grandma. Now that she's gone, everything changes. This made me wonder how much trust we can put in someone. As the saying goes '人心险恶', maybe it's really true. It's really tiring to be watching your back all the time, that's why i choose to put total trust in most of my friends, no matter how close they are. I really see no reason for them to stab me from behind. Anyway enough said. I think i should stop also.

I am not someone who likes to bad mouth pple, or at least this is what i think so. This post really pollutes my blog and I felt really disgusted that this post is in as well.

P.S. this Poh Heng has got nothing to do with the Jewellery shop.

Peace out.

Hongda

RIP

26 Apr 2006. It's a day i want to remember for life. The day u, my dearest grandma left us for a better place. I really love u granny and i wished i had shown u i really do.

I knew you always loved our company and that's why you travelled all the way down to Woodlands from Ang Mo Kio despite the inconvenience u faced, almost every week. That's why i tried to be home when u came and try to eat whatever u cooked even though it sucked at times. You refused to sleep and spend the night over with us cos of your sleeping condition, fearing that you will cause us inconvenience. And yet you wanted to spend so much time with us that u don't mind going home at 11. With that, I thank you.

You showered us with your unconditional love. A love that pure and nothing else.

But i asked myself, what have i really done for you to let u know i really care? You are always so proud of me for my results, and spur me to graduate and succeed so that i can lead a good life in future and not live a tough life that you experienced. I did work hard thinking i could earn enough to let you lead a good great grandma's life in future, with my sister giving birth in 2month. It's all running in my mind and i hope i had really let u know about it. Or maybe just give you a call often enough to know how badly your asthma attack was days ago.

Too late. When i saw you this afternoon, you were lying motionless in the mortuary. You suffered alone in the morning. I can see you grasping for air, struggling to make preparation for dose of medicine to relieve yourself as your hands trembled. A attempt that succeeded for the past few days but failed today. Finally you made a last attempt to call for help, dialing Uncle's number. You got to him, he rushed down, but everything was too late.

I can feel what you were thinking at that very last moment as you gave up fighting for your life. Still worrying abt us, grandchildren, sons and daughters and most regretfully, failure to wait for 2 more months to carry your first greatgrandson. My heart wrenches as my tears come rolling down uncontrollably.

I had always known myself to be very very fortunate. To have all my grandparents around, no funerals to attend to despite my age. So fortunate that i took it for granted. Why do we always treasure something that's too late to be cherished? We know all these, and yet the cycle repeats itself again and again, showing how fan jian humans are.

I'm sorry but let me grieve for you these few days or weeks, for i know this is not what you wanted it to be. I'll be strong and keep my promise of continue studying hard and achieve good results, be filial to my parents, take good care of my family especially my little brother as i held your hands and kiss you goodbye in the mortuary. I will love as for as long as i live and i really hope you can rest in peace knowing that we all care for you. 26 Apr 07. Day i will not forget. Till we meet again. Cya.

RIP. Goodbye.

love,

hongda.

Headache

2007-02-06T20:49:00.000+08:00

Headache

Down with a headache these 2 days. Nevertheless, i had to go school today cos there is a written assignment to be done that takes up 15% of the module. Writing a letter to the editor, oh gosh! I wonder when was the last time i was made to do an essay. maybe 3 yrs ago? no... maybe more... anyway, it's good to see i am still able to cook up with a short essay or letter after so long. I almost died writing that letter.

It really helps a lot to have someone i love showing concern for me. thanks sweetie, for worrying so much, i will be fine by tmr, i promise.

Wah... i cannot believe this...

2006-12-28T11:34:00.000+08:00

Wah... i cannot believe this...

Pls tell me my eyes are not playing prank on me... nor i am dreaming...

Stay Healthy! Or rather BE healthy!

2006-12-13T15:12:00.000+08:00

Stay Healthy! Or rather BE healthy!

Alright, as quite a number of my friends already knew, i had been falling sick numerous times for the past 1-2months, and i am really pissed off and sick of whole getting sick cycle. So i am gonna break it now. Here's the plan for the hols. Immediate effect(Be healthy!) includes:

1. Detox for a month! No junkies! (at least minimal)
2. No late night! (12am slp!!!!!!!!!!)

From next week onwards, that's for my stay healthy plan once i get well!

1. Swimming, at least twice a week.
2. Jogging, at least once a week.
3. Weights, at least twice a week.

Basically at least 5 days with body workout. Anyone wanna play squash pls jio me! haha but i guess only for weekends since i am working during weekdays.

Now, other things to do in this hols.

1. Pack wardrobe! (it's in a mess!)

2. Pack notes! (50% done)

3. Tidy up my taiwan trip photos!(i think it's only 20% done now... haiz)

that's all i can think of... ganbate!

*EDIT*

4. Oh yah just thought of it... start calling up tuition agency!! Or anyone got any tuition lobang? pls let me know eh?

A small getaway with a lesson to be learnt

2006-12-13T13:51:00.000+08:00

A small getaway with a lesson to be learnt

Had an outing with my OG last wednesday. It feels good to be out in the sun again after the one-month long torturing studying for examinations. It's been sometime since i last went Sentosa as well. Although the turn-out wasn't as good as i was expecting, i enjoyed myself. Playing beach games such as frisbee and touch rugby. Cai-ing quan in the deep seawaters proves to be fatal as well. Sleeping on the beach under the mild sun is super shiok as well.

Anyway, here's some picture that we took that day when we were about to leave palawan cos i forgot i brought my camera along! hah!

It's always good to see friends getting together as couple. All the best Sara and Kyle haha :)

Anyway, just something for all to ponder. Do u think organisers of an event like the turn-out to be kns? If no, just something for all to note.

1. Don't ask the 'who's going' question. Just let the organiser know whether u ARE coming or not.

2. Worse still, making the organiser list down each and every souls who's going.

3. Worst of all, continue asking for names when the organiser already tried listing down at least 7-8 souls out of courtesy, instead of hanging up to u.

4. Late-comers. Although i am usually late, it's usually 5-15mins late? 30mins sometimes. Anything more, usually i will know beforehand and let the organiser know the time that i will be reaching. So if u were to be many many hrs late, just because u chose to schedule some appt before the event, means u place no importance in the event itself right? Dun bother coming then. Seriously, as a person i dun like to attend something just for the sake of it. So as an organiser, i wouldn't expect pple to come when they dun feel like it as well.

5. No shows. There's a saying. Chi Dao Hao Guo Mei Dao. So much so pple do come late for hrs, i still believe any organiser will appreciate the effort individuals made in order to come. There are different classification of condemnation of no-shows.

(i) The individual sms-ed the organiser informing about his/her no-show after the time to meet already passed

(ii) Organiser sms-ed only to find out the person isn't coming

(iii) Organiser sms-ed but no reply (hello? so are you dead already?)

6. Don't ask the 'who's still coming' question. You already made it great by showing up, dun downgrade yourself by asking this kind of question. To have read this far, i am sure u agree that no organiser would like the turn-out to be kns, so he is trying his best as well!

Weak

2006-12-05T21:29:00.000+08:00

Weak

Feeling real weak recently. Stomach flu, cold, sore throat, fever, flu, cough, headache had visited me at least once for the past month, either alone or in groups. I have no idea what's happening to me but after thinking through how different my lifestyle was for the past month, i think i got the answer. It's exercise. I haven been exercising since 1st Nov when i started my revision for the exam. So i thought it's high time that i should start exercising and probably train a little in the hols as quite a number of pple commented that i had shrunk since the start of the semester.

So there i was, standing in front of the swimming pool this morning, only to find that the pool had been closed for renovation since yesterday. So i guess i had to make adjustment to my future swimming plans. So yeah, that's it! i gonna start exercising and keep fit, stay healthy!

Setback

2006-11-17T22:56:00.000+08:00

Setback

This exam is demoralising. With the starting 2 being the papers i feared most. Bio, being one of them. The feeling is like... so the curse is still there. Anyway i cannot be always thinking about it, have to move on, so here i am.

2256h, in NTU south spine tutorial room studying. Now, 2257, which means i have another 3mins before i really get down to work. By the way, beside my room is 4 fuckers playing card games and laughing like no one else business. I will curse them for disturbing others in this sacred mugging place lol. Alrighty, time to stop whining, time to wake up, and time to mug before the december hols start.

wanna paint u a rainbow...

WAH I AM GOING CRAZY!!!!!!

2006-11-01T16:41:00.000+08:00

WAH I AM GOING CRAZY!!!!!!

Seriously, haha i am going crazy from mugging!! Nonono, i needa continue psycho-ing myself. I love studying! I am attached to studying! haha everyday i am thinking of mugging. Haha so if anyone is sharp enough to notice, that doesn't mean i am mugging everyday. Haha yeah, i am still playing dota and that's still a big distraction for me at times. So, while slacking the whole day of yesterday, i managed to do complete several tasks.

1. Bank stuff
2. Sending my phone for servicing, bloody hell my self taking photo function spoilt, that explains the limited number of picture on my blog nowadays(not that i always blog anyway lol)
3. Lastly, my study plan for November!!! Fresh from the oven, check it out.

Woot! looks good eh? Haha i spent quite sometime on it yesterday. Yeah mugging for exam officially starts on the 1st Nov!!! Today i am supposed to complete 6 lecture for econs. Just finished reading up on 4, reached saturation point liao, which explains why i am blogging now in the woodlands library. Nvm, judging from the pace i am going, i should have no problem meeting my target for the day!!

Zzzz, Samsung just called up, saying that they cannot keep to their promise of returning my phone in 2-3days, it might take 1-2weeks now. Cos one of the parts are currently out of stock. Haiz nvm, so long they can get it done asap and return to me in perfect condition.

Yup, i wanna recommend a movie! It's Prestige, it's a film by Hill Jackman (Wolverine!) and some guy apparently acted in Batman as well(forgot the name liaoz). Lotsa twist and turns in the movie which i wouldn't elaborate further as u have to watch it yourself to understand the beauty of the movie. Highly recommended!

Oh yah, i have got the job at SRC as a student assistant! Haha so u guys will be seeing me at SRC pretty often. I will be working there probably at least once a week :)

And lastly, some bitching before returning to mugging mode. There's a bloody fat mud sitting my the floor in front of me who's showing off her butt crack. Seriously, fuck off man.

With love,
HD

Totally pissed off by The Haze

2006-10-08T11:29:00.000+08:00

Totally pissed off by The Haze

I had planned saturday so perfectly that i was looking forward to it since the beginning of the week. So what's the plan? 11am - 1pm: Tuition. 2pm - 5pm: Windsurfing. After 5pm: Jerry's birthday celebration. So why was i pissed? As the title suggests, it's the haze.

I got to the ECP seasports club at 2plus, only to realise i cannot make any rental from the office as the haze was so bad. It's their safety measures so i gladly accepted it, or rather i had to accept it. The only good thing was that i brought my Maths tutorial out, so i was doing my maths tutorial while enjoying the sea breeze.

What pissed me even more is the following direct small extract i read from this morning's Sunday's times(page 17):

"Call to move burning season to Febtuary"

PROFESSOR Azizan Abu Samah, of Universiti Malaya, said the haze situation could be resolved if Indonesia moved its burning season to February, when the north-east monsoon winds blow.

"It is still a dry period for them to clear the land by burning," he said.

Prof Azizan, who heads the department of geography, reasoned that with the north-east monsoon, the smoke will be blown away from Malaysian shores, unlike now, when smoke and dust particles invade many parts of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak.

Okay, any comments anyone? i would say WTF! A PROF saying this shit? Hello... Isn't the issue about them burning the land? So stopping them is the solution! so what's up with his stupid suggestion of moving the burning season to February?? So he is just a selfish human who is happy so long the smoke doesn't affect his country eh?

Muds... -_-!

Day of enjoyment!

2006-09-28T09:53:00.000+08:00

Day of enjoyment!

Haha went for ice-skating during the hols. It feels good to be gliding on the ice again, even though i am spending most of the time teaching yu how to skate though haha. It's a fulfilling day, cos i think i did quite a number of stuff. Haha had a new haircut in the morning, followed by ice-skate, then the movie Devil Wears Prada (which is a very nice show =b) and lastly supper (rocher dou hua). Haha kinda feels bad for dragging jia and yao along for the movie and stuff haha cos they were SUPPOSED to study for that day la but haha nvm i think they enjoyed themselves as well (of cos la, it's with me leh). Anyway, just a short post, so just to end off, dumbness of the day:

jia: dun want la, i watch the movie before liao, u all go dun disturb both of u... unless u wanna treat me?

da: ok! i and yao treat u!

jia: wah dun want la, very paiseh.(-_-! paiseh u still say that in the first case)

upon reaching the threatre

jia: what u wanna eat? porn corn? nachos?

da: ??? no need la, ex leh...

jia: nvm u treat me movie i treat u all food loh...

da: so how much the porn corn and nachos cost ah?

jia: hmm not sure leh...

da: i guess u din realise it's more expensive than the movie tix itself right?

jia: AHHHHHHHHHHHH

da: -_-!, how ben dan hahahahahaha

New haircut haha (not by my mum)

ice skating ring...

Hongda on ice!

do they look like they are studying?

haha gotcha!
jia broke the guinness world record in packing up after mugging!
DUN be deceived... he was asleep for most of the time
Ice skating ticket :)

It's snowing! Bet u cannot see right?

ok nvm i zoom in...
And Finally a groupy :) From left: Yu, Jia, Yao, Da

By the way, i fell during ice-skating. Dun speed if u are not that good especially at turning...

Windsurfing

2006-09-25T20:15:00.000+08:00

Windsurfing

Just came back from level 1 proficiency for windsurfing. Although i think i am still quite clumsy at it, i think i am already in love with it! haha i am gonna join the wind-surfing club! hmm i dun inspire to be like my friend who's so pro at it, but i just want to get to the level whereby i can do all the 'tricks' all by myself and surf out to the opensea! I think this is going to be excited. Hmm the training is on every saturday, i wonder whether i can commit to it cos of tuition and everything but i will try. The thought of learning one new interesting watersports is driving me crazy! haha so does anyone want to come along with me and join in the fun? :b

=====

hehe the only regret for the windsurfing trip is that i didn't take any photos, even though i brought my camera along! haha partly cos i forgot, and also due to the fact it's kinda wierd to get someone taking picture of me getting onto the board. Very fake! haha so yeah nvm, i will have the chance when i join the club. All the best to myself.

=====

So... diving's next! Anyone?

Yeah! it's the holidays again! let's rock

2006-09-24T11:58:00.000+08:00

Yeah! it's the holidays again! let's rock

haha well well well, where shall i start? It's been sometimes since i last blogged. Yeah, maybe just look at the past events that i had missed out here. Hmm i had been squeezing part-time job(x2) in between my crazy schedules of mugging and chilling outs to earn some more cash. Haha i think a lot of my friends know i had been quite independent in terms of my cashflow since j2. But i told my mum before i started school that i am not taking many tuitions because i want to concentrate on my studies so yeah, now i am on pocket money. Although it's not a huge amount like some pple is taking partly because i am still teaching, i'm kinda not used to it. Afterall i had not been asking for pocketmoney for yrs, so yeah now i am looking at getting one more student and maybe stop asking for pocketmoney haha, so for now part-time's the way to go.

===

Anyway that aside, i was talking about my 2 x part-times haha. As usual, it's with Ritz, an asiapacific event organising company. The first time i worked was for the prudential party at suntec. So the second and third that i went for, it's at mount faber and fort canning park respectively. My jobs again are pretty simple, coordinating the crowd into the cable car station at harbourfront when the guests arrived, and road marshal to guide pple up fort canning. Heh so here's some pictures that i can find from my camera phone.

It's really been a freaking long time since i last took cable cars! and first time for free!!

So next up, the event at fort canning for some IMF related event, the client is national commercial bank of saudi arabi this time round. Haha, guess what we were trying to do.

Ah bing, yao and me~

~~~Gay partners~~~

Haha so what am i trying to do?

O.o, rather suggestive...

Finally, do u see a bit of smoke coming out? We were trying to test out some smoking pipe of whatever they call it. But yeah it's just for fun, u guys know i will never smoke =)

Alrighty, i went to do some volunteer work 1-2 weeks back. So how i get this 'lobang'? Here it goes...

yu: hey! leave your 10 Sep free!

da: huh? go where?

yu: aiyo dun ask so much first la, i guarantee u it's not immoral and it's gonna be meaningful...

da: -_-! okay loh...

haha quite dumb, but anyway i agreed. Basically went to labrador park and brought the disabled around, played some simple games haha though it can be quite bored at times, hmm haha helping them find some smiles isn't too bad afterall. Well i haven really got the pictures from my friend yet, so yah here's all that i've got from my stupid camera phone.

weird look quite macho hor? another misleading picture of mine! wahaha

yawnz... it's a torture to wake up so early on a weekend... the sun's still so low loh!

Sea breezes are really shiok... esp when it's pouring!

I was trying to snap the shot of the differences in the colour of sea, it was very bluish far far out, and it's kinda greenish in the shallow waters...

Skating

2006-09-09T20:39:00.000+08:00

Skating

Now, the open area downstairs are like a skater's paradise. U can see pple putting cones and practising everyday. Mine being an agro(sp?) skates, doesn't really fit in well there, but i am really gian to join them everytime i see them practise. I wanna sell for skates for a free skates!! I'm broke le. Anyone can help me? This' a photo i just took from my room...

I will miss this place

2006-09-03T21:26:00.000+08:00

I will miss this place

For the past >24hrs, i'm in my sister's place, supposedly studying. Well, i clocked 2hrs from yesterday and 6-7hrs of not that productive time today. Even though it's quite unproductive in the sense i didn't do as much as i planned, i am starting to pick things up slowly. Understanding some stuff along the way, digesting them and apply to questions. This is the place i started to see some light.

Too bad. My sister's gonna start her tuition class in the hse soon, so there wouldn't be much of a space/ time for me to come over hehe. It's kinda good to see my sister also, ever since she got married, she's busy with her work. Now that she's finally settled down, quitting her job and starting a tuition class in the hse, she's back to her busy life. Even though she's working very little hrs per week, she needs a lot of time preparing classes, guess it balances anyway.

Haha my parents are kinda funny/sore about this though. Giving my sis a hard time whenever she comes home haha saying she dun care abt us anymore. Guess they are just missing her as equally as me and my little brother does.

Anyway, time for me to pack up and stop imposing on them hehe.

I will miss this place :)

Muacks~~

2006-09-02T10:20:00.000+08:00

Muacks~~

Finally it's a weekend again! The moment i opened my eyes, i saw my little brother standing beside my bed staring at me. Haha i wonder if he woke me up or it's just his presence which made me wake up. After knowing that i am awake, he told me he made American Breakfast for all of us today and in a few minutes time, he came into my room again with a whole big plate of stuff including ham, egg, bread, chicken fillet, hotdog. Haha how i wish he can stay as cute as he had always been(minus off the times he's being disobedient and stubborn, purposely trying to spite me).

I love my family!

Just waiting for my sister to finish using my com so that i can sleep...

2006-08-31T00:48:00.000+08:00

Just waiting for my sister to finish using my com so that i can sleep...

It’s 0043hr now. Just finished my econs tutorial not long ago. These 2 weeks had been quite a stressful week for me. Because I was trying to catch up on stuff that I had missed out especially cell biology. I had made a pact with myself that I will not touch dota until I had caught up with the lecture proper as least. I had broken it once already, so let’s see how long more can I last. Just 4 weeks into the first semester, I am looking forward to the end of it liao.

Haha it seems I am quite reputable as a mugger! Now I have friends saying that I am a chao-mugger. Yeah, I admit that, but I balance other stuff as well ok?! Some friends will even call me to ask if I am around in school haha wanna mug together or not lolx! This is something I had never experienced.

Just now at about 2315h I received a call from Impresario main comm. So as I expected, I wasn’t chosen as part of the main comm Impresario, programmer. Just a few post earlier I mentioned the interview went fine, everything was smooth, now I began to wonder. Haha maybe I sounded too casual with the comm interviewing me cause all along I had been wondering what’s the point of having this interview. Interview for a CCA sounds stupid to me, or at least I find it kinda weird. From what I heard, they seem to be in doubt for my sincerity in Impresario. Blah... It’s their loss anyway. I dun think I will run for their subcomm. So time to really take up surfing! :)

Gatherings!!

2006-08-27T02:04:00.000+08:00

Gatherings!!

Today is a super rush day, running ard the whole Singapore and i really mean it. I woke up early in the morning at 6am as i was going to send Yuh Chian off to Beijing at 0850hr flight. I managed to keep to my timing and left home at about 0640hr, hoping to reach T2 before 0800hr. Knowing that i had a heavy schedule awaiting me for the day, i did tell Yuh Chian i might not make it to the airport so he was pretty surprised when i got there(at least i supposed so :p). Haha we did take some pictures, not as dramatic as the ones with Songyu though, which i will post it up later when i got it from him. I haven't really got the time these days as i had quite busy with schoolwork(and it's actually 30 Aug when i am typing this). So sunnysat got to understand why i didn't go sentosa today, i cannot possibly split myself up hehe...

Anyway so after he went in, CPCians went to have breakfast, with me trying to mug again. I stayed in Changi Mac till abt 1220hr, afterwhich i had to rush off to Sengkang for tuition at 1300hr - 1500hr. So obviously, i was late, for about 15mins i guess. BUT, i made up for it, in fact i taught till 1545 as i was trying to finish explaining all the papers accumulated over the weeks, hopefully she's not overloaded heh.

Huishi's farewell dinner for her exchange in Hongkong was next. It's surposedly at 1630hr but i had no idea why i thought it's at 1600hr. No matter what, i was late again as i reached west coast CC for steamboat only at 1650hr, only to find 3 pple around nia. Haha, less talk, time to show some pictures!

That's not all! After the dinner, me and yao took a cab down to victoria theatre to watch the Dance Horizon performance, Quindance. Just as many pple know i was from dance, this is the dance troupe that i used to dance with. Plenty of friendly, fun-loving people in the troupe, i wouldn't have quitted the Dance Troupe if i did not injure my back. In fact, few of them did ask me to go back to the troupe, which made me feel quite nostalgic at times, especially after every performance that i had seen. Those were the days.

Rest

2006-08-21T23:28:00.000+08:00

Rest

I seriously need more rest, as in sleeping time! Feels so drained everyday nowadays. I have no idea but by the time i get to bed, it's always past 1! Argh i really need to have some more self discipline now that the school has started. Haha but no matter how drained i am, the sense of satisfaction that i had done whatever i had to for the day energises me. Maybe i am just a workaholic by nature.

So, what have i done for the day? I went to school and printed 4-5sets of notes, attended one physical chemistry and maths lecture in the morning, followed by a Bio tutorial(that i am still trying to catch up) and 2hrs of economics lecture in the afternoon. It was already 1715h when the econs lecture ended.

CAC Impresario interview was next. It went pretty well. Hmm i used to be quite intimidated by the word 'interviews' but thinking this was kinda a casual one, haha i guessed i took it quite well. I answered what i had to, should be no problem to get the position i want =) but i will still keep my fingers crossed hehe.

Went out to meet one of my best friend at JP for dinner. Haha mai siao siao, she's an A* scholar haha. Well come to think of it, it's been really sometime since both of us went out or really sit down and have a really good chit chat(though got an extra today lolx). She's abroad most of the time and she got to spend time with her darling when she's back hahaha. I'm also busy with my own stuff and activites as well. Today spent time to meet up with her as i wanted to pass her the gift i bought for her back in taiwan which was like more than a month ago liao! It's a messenge in a bottle with a piece of translucent red leaf(cos she's called Hongye, and i seriously mean 红叶...) + a stylish stone with her horoscope engraved.

I will treasure the 1+hr of chit chat we had in JP Banquet. Cya again next yr when you come back.

P.S. By the way, if anyone is wondering if pictures are missing for the second, third, fourth last post, u are right! argh i still cannot transfer pictures outta my cam hp!

WARNING

WARNING

I am no push-over. I had mentioned in my previous posts before, don't take your friends for granted. Just a piece of advice for everyone, behind every smile of mine, no matter how 应酬 it is at times, it's for maintaining friendships/relationship, simply because I treasure every friend I made. The act of hating is tiring, thus the reason why i rather tolerate with friends at times, and just smile whatever fuck i am receiving away than to release the button for volcanic eruption. If that makes anyone think that I am joker, who doesn't dare to express his views or stands, then you are very wrong. Just a quick character analysis on myself for anyone who doesn't really know me well.

I have got very high expectation on myself and with that, i strive to be the best, if not, to be one of the best. I am a rather independant person, with many close friends, which means i don't really lack of friends. Someone who watches his weight and will panic when there's rubber tyres around the waist. That accounts for the fact that I am exercising so often, enjoy sports, especially seasports as i like to be tanned but yet lazy to train myself to be a hunk, simply because doing weights training is super boring. I don't enjoy clubbing at all so there is any clubbing outing, that wouldn't be organised by me. I am a bad tempered, impatient adult at heart who had been chased outta house before by parent for beating my brother up to an extent they cannot tolerate anymore. Not forgetting punching my friend for splashing water on me. Over the years, I cultivated and strengthened self-control and self-restraint. These are the angels in me. Angels keeping my devils away, so that they will lie domant as long as possible. Trust me, not even a single soul would stand an erupted Hongda. Scary? I am not sure as well, it's been a while since i last saw an erupted self.

And yet, while typing this, i can feel the angels in me are getting exhausted. However, understanding the consequence of taking a rest, hence letting the devils out would be disastrous, they are hanging on. But just how long can they hold their defences, with the devils growing exponentially and angels running lower and lower on energy as the day goes by. So, do you want to be the one helping the devils grow in number, or giving the angels more energy?

So, let me just clarify this once and for all. Just in case anyone is bewildered by what's going on in my tagboard. The rumour started when we had our first OG outing, when i supposedly seemed to be helping this gal, Huimin more than the others. And with that, linkings were made to the SP, DXO night, when i didn't join the rest at the dance floor and was seen by people talking to Huimin upstairs. As the rumour got more and more outta hand, she got attached. Rumour continues, that I had lost the battle with a broken heart. Pple came asking how am i feeling, asking me not to be sad. To some who found all these amusing, seriously, I don't find it funny at all.

No doubt, i do think she's a good gal. Liking? Maybe a little but i don't have 'THAT' kinda feeling as of now or then, and will never have now that she's attached as well.

So, i do hope this clarifies everything up. Just when i thought i am going to flood this post with all the vulgarities i knew before i got started, i did not. I guess it's my angels' work again. Thanks to them. Just as i choose not to delete any unnecessary post on my chatbox as i respected every friend of mine who took their time visiting my blog, even if i am not respected, pls respect the gal by putting a fullstop to this.

Lastly, fuck off.

Peace out.

MAS801 - It's Discreetly Discrete Wld:Maths in Reallife Applications

Well this is the picture i took during lecture on wednesday. Well nothing much, actually i just wanted to show u guys the composition of the student in this module but apparently i was dreaming eh? It shows nothing! So might as well i will tell u all.

Haha i was standing outside LT19A waiting for the lecture to start. To my HORROR, it's all Ah Teongs(haha, our very own crude way of calling PRCs). Haha just a few days ago, i was curious what kinda pple are taking this module, especially i am a lone ranger for yr1s taking this module cos i added one PE. So i went online to eadventures to check it out, I was already quite shocked when i see quite a lot of indians and PRCs taking up this module(maybe because it's quite a mathematical subject), when i saw the real thing, i almost died.

Nevertheless, i am not gonna back off! haha. I will chiong with all the ah teongs! AHHHH, BAN-Kai!

My Poor Bed...

My Poor Bed...

Okie, a few days ago, 3+am in the morning, after a long game of dota, I was damn tired. I just poom onto my bed a crack was heard, and this was what happened to my bed frame. Hiaz, moral of the story, dota is the root of all evil! Argh i wanna quit playing dota. Someone pls save me!

*Pls note that at this point of time when i post this picture, the frames had been fixed already

Li Sheng Jie's NTU Live! Campus Concert

2006-08-16T23:48:00.000+08:00

Li Sheng Jie's NTU Live! Campus Concert

Yup! I am so glad i went for this campus concert. Haha, I would say tonight was the best campus concert that i had been to so far. Haha one thing i had concluded. To bring up the crowd, not good u need a good voice, u need a LOUD voice haha. He was really good in making the crowd high with his powerful voice. Heh, he can crack jokes pretty well too lol. His songs are all pretty good for singing in Kbox, maybe that's why he's famous now.

Anyway, some interesting at the concert just now was that our Kanza's very own Sha Mei, Daphne was kana sabo-ed to go on stage lol. What she did most of the time = scratching head, first reply for most of the question = Huh? That was damn funny. I guess everyone from my OG should understand and can visualise how daph looks like when she's on stage huh?

Oh ya, special mention to a guy who went on stage with daph as well. From the few mins on stage, this was what i concluded.

1. Chui
2. Has the urge to show off in front of pple
3. Yet dun really dares to

Hiaz, i really enjoyed this campus concert so much, a lot of time i was singing to it. So much so i forgot to take any pictures! Argh, so just for posting sake, here's one...

Bye Songyu... Ganbate in US!!

12 Aug 06. It was saturday morning. Hongda rolled outta bed and started to wash up, preparing himself for a looooooooooooooong trip to the airport. It was a bloody 1hr bus ride, together with Jessie(thank god jessie forgot about the pinching...). He got to Changi Airport Terminal 2 at 1240 when the flight was at 1610(wtf?). He saw Songyu...

He looked on,

feeling a bit of tears in his eyes, he tried his best to hold it back,
but he still broke down into...
LAUGHTER!!!

Jiayou and all the best to u, SONGYU!!

First Longest Day

2006-08-12T02:09:00.000+08:00

First Longest Day

Haha i've got 4hrs of lectures today, longest studying day in the week so far. After 3hrs of lecture in the morning, we went to Can 13 for lunch(chinese mixed veg + waffle haha), afterwhich i went over to NIE bookshop to shop for my Bio Textbook. Unfortunately, the textbook had already been sold out so i got to go back next Monday to hunt for it. Hmm, oh ya not forgetting econs textbook also. Econs seems tough to me, and Biology. Oh god, i am so glad i changed from BIE to CBE. Afterall this yrs, i guess i still cant stand Biology, even though i found it interesting at times(only when i can relate it, like virus attacking cells...). Haha swimming's next. But i went for swimming pretty late despite having a 3-hr break in between. As a result, after chiong-ing 20laps(yesh, i really chiong all the way), i quickly got outta pool and washed up, and walked back to LT2 from SRC -_-! I was late for about 10mins. Lecturer dismissed us 20mins earlier, so effectively i only went for 30mins of the lecture. Bball next, all i can say now is, i kinda regret going for today's bball session. My left leg's nerve is so bloody tight that i cannot stretch much now. The only thing i am glad is that after realising it's affecting me a little, i pulled out of the game even though they were one man short of a 4v4 game. I guess i really need to have some self control over this kind of situation.

So all in all, this week had been very slack. Pon-ing a bit of lecture here and there, no tutorials and laboratory. Next week gonna be really different. With tutorials coming up, joining CCA. Oh yah, i had successfully added one extra module for the sem after i got exempted from physics. I am gonna turned myself into a 75% mugging machine. Don't ask me why 75%, I don't know.

Anyway, i am prepared to be critisized by friends next week for doing my tutorials haha. This is always what i believed. A Good Start is very important. And from what i had experienced and seen so far, this is absolutely true. I am very sure this happens everywhere, after 1-mth or so, those slacker ones will bound to be experiencing difficulty in problems and if they are sensible, they will wake up and chiong like hard, maybe 2times the effort i am putting in for now. The others, goners. I had seen this happening in Secondary, JC thus will not be surprised to witness this in Uni, although i do think the chances of this occuring should be lower.

Alrighty, having said all these, it's time for me to go have some rest. Agenda for tmr, sending Songyu off. Songyu Jiayou!! Tuition, hoepfully do some tutorials and also packing my room. Will continue post pictures if i have got the time.

Muacks~~

Money matters

2006-08-04T23:09:00.000+08:00

Money matters

Just clear my 3-mths worth of handphone bills and 2-mths of internet bills. With this month's telephone bill up to 70+ bucks, of which 30bucks is to roaming while i was in Taiwan. Today all the way went back to school to listen to an 15mins exemption talk, what the hell. Spent close to 10bucks printing notes, can really start to feel the pinch for everything. Transport, food, printing, textbooks, entertainment, insurance. Ahhh, money not enough! Got lobang for Sec Math tuition pls let me know!

First OG outing

2006-08-03T04:05:00.000+08:00

First OG outing

I have no idea why, but i was arrowed to be the organiser cum coordinator. It started with a series of crap mass msn conference of at least 7pple and it somehow led to outings. So for the past few days i was calling/sms-ing pple to confirm their attendance and also roughly drawing up iteniary lol. So we had our first OG outing today

We agreed to meet up at 1030am at ECP Mac but my activity started way before that. Because i skated from the MRT to ECP. It's a good way to save some money plus it's damn shiok to go urban! So i met up with them(just another 5 pple, Hao and his friend, Changhan, Neville, Sara) while the others said that they're coming in the afternoon. Actually i was quite disappointed the night before as many of them cannot make it in the morning especially some cannot make it just because it was too early. Well, it's their preference so i cannot say much eh? haha anyway, it's kinda good to have a small skating group, with Sara as a beginner. But i can say she's a pretty fast learner cos she's tried ice-skating a few times before so the balance is already there. Anyway, we skated to the hawker centre, had my lunch(there's this duck rice that's pretty good, u guys should try it) and went back to ECP mac for a rest, while waiting for the afternoon party to come. Here's some pictures from the morning using my hp. Whole morning we were teasing Sara cos she's the only beginner ard.

Me with Sara's "Dior" Specs

Sara looking a bit more confident.

Me and Sarah@ hawker centre

And this is what happens when u are over-confident! hahahaand when that happens, no one even want to give u a hand lolz

Morning Group pic

It was a long wait. First, Huimin and Zixian came. Haha was quite surprised they were able to make it as they were having hall camp then. Maybe their camp's just too boring eh? hehe. Benson, Benny and Norti were the second group to reach and before we set off, Cheewei arrived and to my surprise, Lawson made it!(or is it a disaster that he came?) So with almost full attendance(3 freshies still stuck somewhere out there), we advanced to the bicycle shop again and went for second round of blading after the last 3 came.

Haha so, why was it a disaster that Lawson came, he caused injuries to 3 different pple! how fierce can he be eh? here's some more groupies...

Nortila, Sara, Cindy!

Daphne the fast beginner

Lawson with a TACKLE FROM BEHIND on Huimin, Huimin still in shock...

And now no one wants to help Lawson...

Group Pic outside Kits Runner

Haha that's not all, after that we went to Orchard Pepperlunch for dinner. That was my 2nd in a week. The staffs were quite overwhelmed and didn't really know how to react when 16 of us ask for seats. Maybe they should start discussing how to cope when large group of pple come in together eh? That can really save us on a lot of unnecessary waiting time especially when we are the customers.

KTV was next. It's kinda crazy to go for KTV when my voice had not really recovered. We called up Kbox and Partyworld to ask for promotional packages and decided to go ahead with Partyworld. Hmm 14bucks per person for 4hrs at night, pretty reasonable. Mervin and Cheewei joined us again at Partyworld. Mervin sent those living in the north home. He dropped me at Yishun and i bladed home in the middle of the night. The feeling was very shiok. Urban Skating still rocks...

Last Day @ Work

2006-08-03T03:34:00.000+08:00

Last Day @ Work

1 Aug 05 marks the last day i'm working for Herbalife Singapore(period). It's in this office that i met up with many fun/cheerful/crazy/bitchy colleagues that i can really clique well with(does that mean i am fun/cheerful/crazy/bitchy too?). I really learnt a lot and i guess i have to thank them for teaching me patiently, though i think i am a fast-learner too :) As such, i did make silly mistakes at times for acting smart haha. As i mentioned before, my supervisor mentioned to me i can come back for part-time during hols but i was thinking maybe it's not the best way out. Afterall, i shouldn't confine myself to this comfort zone of work environment eh?

Anyway, Minyu and I gave them a treat on that day. Didn't want to crack my head so went ahead with pure food. Got cherries for Zen, strawberries for my cousin, fried fish slices for Caron, hotdog for Peck, green bean soup for Jojo and lastly some dianxin and carrot cake to be shared among us. Haha had so much junk food on that day that i felt like puking. So, i am meeting them again tmr for dinner at some restaurant, this time they giving a treat :p

Bye Herbalife

Hi NTU,

So that will also mean i am starting school soon eh? I was trying to matriculate earlier but it's only from 10am - 10pm. How dumb is that? Anyway, it's gonna be a new chapter, meeting more friends(which i already did after CAC FOC) and once again earmarking on the result 'race'. I am kind of excited to experience 'mugging' life again. There's a saying "Aim for the stars, at least if you miss, u will get to the moon". So First Class Honours and Dean's list! here i come! haha...

CAC FOC Camp Ventura 2006

2006-07-30T01:21:00.000+08:00

CAC FOC Camp Ventura 2006

haha finally i am back!! I got back home at about 1am yesterday, staring at my monitor screen, thinking whether i should blog. Haha, in the end i gave up that idea but i still manage to compile a list of contacts for my OG before i went to sleep which i felt was a bit redundant cos my OGL did say he is going to send the contact list to us. Bleh, whatever, that's just the normal impatient self.

Well well, so where should i start for this. I think the camp is as difficult to blog as my Taiwan trip cos it was so happening! Hmm, talking about the taiwan trip, i am not done with the uploading of picture and my photo album. There's so much things waiting for me to be done right now.

First and formost, best OG and best freshie goes to KANZA! haha let's talk abt the food. Hmm, it wasn't too bad. haha best meals will be the day we went for our SP dinner and first day with Canadian pizzas, yummy. The rest of the day are all packed lunch and dinners mostly.

Haha highlights for the event will be initiation night, where we got to undergo lotsa shit blindfolded. Got flour, spices, egg, soil. What a mess. haha me and daphne kana sabo to sing duet as well. Amazing race is shiok, half a day of running and slimming lol. we went to settler's cafe then to OUB centre then to Victoria Theatre then to City link(cha siew bao ah cha siew bao!) then to arts and national museum before chionging to sentosa to 'rescue' our GL(like i care wahaha). Second day the night game was fun as well. Haha and we won all the cheer fights! (that explains how i got this sexy voice right now). One game was Captain Banana, haha exact same thing as Captain Ball but ball was replaced by banana. Haha everyone was so fierce that the packaging for banana was burst so many countless times. It was tasted exactly like banana blended after we open the packaging to eat it(cos we lost obviously). Fright night, haha not that i wanna say, it's really NOT that scary la. i was like predicting all the places they were coming from. Haha but looking at how frightened Cindy was beside me was kinda amusing hehe. All in all, the first 3 days were the most siong one, we got very little sleep, and lotsa physical activities, but nothing beats the waiting time. Seriously, most of the time it's the waiting time that makes me feel so damn demoralised or tired. Guess nothing's perfect eh?

Hmm pple. Haha i am glad my OG mates are all approachable and fun pals. Though many pple come and go during the camp, which were quite demoralising at times when u just compare the number of pple we had for games, i guess it just cannot be helped since they have their personal reason and many of us really didn't expect the camp to be this tiring. Gonna organise a blading outing soon with my OG, hope it's gonna be a success!

SP night. Haha it's kinda funny. hmm okie during the SP sabo session, only till the third room was correct. So first room, i was made to sing and do some skills i had, so haha i cheekily did a handstand in the middle of the room. Suprisingly, that handstand was quite stable though i hadn't been doing it for like ages. So second room, i was made to do pole-dance. Haha, i manage to get revenge by asking the sabo-er to be the pole, and then kick him after i was done with it. wahaha! Okie then i got to the third room, was made to sing at the doorstep, made to say lotsa mushy and erxin stuff to get my SP out(but in vain), did handstand singing as well. Damn, that was hell freaking difficult. At the dinner, thanks to XIUWEN, hao yi ge jie dao sa ren, i went on stage to contest for the best couple. First, we were made to dance, then i got to sing a love song while i was on my knees, and lastly finish off with a 30s talk to each other. Actually i kinda felt bad during the last part, cos i wanted to make the atmosphere less tense by making it exaggerately mushy. Liling took it seriously and actually i was really touched back then. I really had a great talk with her when i was blind-folded(while she's not cos she's a GL lol), and that explains why i didn't get the chance to ask about things like which CCA was she from and her external features for easier identification purpose which almost everyone did.

Okie now for some picture in case anyone gets boring. The bunk of picture i will upload ltr when i got it bah, for now these are some i took with my camera hp. In case u guys are wondering, the black guy is not an indian but me! wahahaha!

On Bus! With Liling

SP night! Liling, James, Korina and me!
Home sweet home! Hongda, Cindy, Xiuwen

P6 Gathering Again!

2006-07-23T22:31:00.000+08:00

P6 Gathering Again!

Haha just came back from my P6 gathering. It was kinda good that we still remain in contact after all these years thou the feeling's kinda wierd at times. Haha we were supposed to meet up at 5pm to play bball at the basketball court downstairs but a lot of pple were late. Weiyang was the first to be waved up to my hse. haha why waved up? Cos the window of my room faces the basketball court, and i waved and got him up to my house. Second was Zi Wei, third was Yingfeng. After Yingfeng came, we slacked awhile more and went down to play but my bball which hasn't been in used for more than 2yrs was already more or less deflated. Haha so we were bouncing like mad when we were trying to dribbling it.

After Bball, the guys came up to my house and had a bath before we set out to causeway point to meet the rest for dinner. We had dinner at some restaurant with Kampong-like setting on the third floor. The food wasn't bad thou i was expecting more for the amount we were paying haha. anyway, one of my greatest regret of this gathering was no picture was taken. Hiaz, if not i will be uploading all of them up onto my com and blog. Anyway, yup one last post before i start packing my stuff for my camp starting tmr. Cya guys and gals! :)

Taiwan - Day 2(Xi Men Ding+Yang Ming Shan+Dan Shui+Yu Ren Ma Tou)

Haha day 2 was tiring, cos we touched on several places. haha we woke up late, spent freaking long trying to find Ah Zong Mian Xian and still CANNOT find it. So we made do with some dou jiang you tiao + cong you bing which by the way was the first time i was drinking dou jiang with a burnt scent. While looking for the Mian Xian, we unknowingly walked into Xi Men Ding, nothing much of an interest to me, looked like Singapore's Orchard to me. We got to Yangmingshan by taking a train to Jian Tan Station and transferred a bus. We only went to Xiao You Keng of the place thou, took lotsa picture from what all can see haha. We tried to take pictures like those in Ou Xiang Ju, damn funny, but some of them looked really good! At least that's what i think =p. After that we rushed to Dan Shui/Yu Ren Ma Tou. But apparently we are kinda a bit late to really enjoy the full sunset at Yu Ren Ma Tou. We ate Ah Gei Yu Wan there as well, it was yummy. Not forgetting the picture all CPC-ians had to take inTaiwan, the CPC petrol station lol!

The one with bad communication

2006-07-18T22:15:00.000+08:00

The one with bad communication

What's the best way to address an issue to others that seems inappropriate to you? Straight-forward and direct manner? Will the other party think you are rude and full of yourself?

In a 'long-winded' way, asking and knowing more background before giving a conclusion? Will the other party say something like "just say what u wanna say, dun beat about the bush"? I am sure all had met situations whereby good intentions are misunderstood, and i met with one today.

Maybe for the past 2 years in CPC, i had been exposed to office politics. I had learnt how siam arrows, and tried to ensure everything's in place. I tend to think in terms of superior's shoe so that i will not do things that she might deem inappropriate as well.

In addition, i will also tend to 'warn' colleagues if i think what's happening does not seem to be pleasing to superior's sight. Cos i know, when the weather turns bad, it's the whole office who gets it and i hate it when that happens. It might seem a lot to take mentally for some people, but i guess i had already gotten used to all this shit and will do all it takes just to ensure the volcano remains domant in the office.

Of course, it doesn't mean i dun make mistakes, given my nature, there's always instances when playfulness gets over my head. I do need people to let me know when that happens. But seriously, i dun need them to use those instance to get back at me when they are not happy with what i am commenting. Because that seems too childish to me.

A bad mis-comm indeed. I had been thinking about it on my way home, and had to go out for a run to vent my frustations. Guess i will just leave it as it is. No point dwelling on it since i am working only till the end of week. Still good friends good colleagues, let's just treasure the moments we are left with.

The one with no title

More then 14Days' past and i had thought somethings through. Perhaps i dun have to do so much for ______ at times. Perhaps some things is meant to remain the same. Perhaps friendships are meant to be...

Still trying to keep to my plans, though my backache's kinda scaring me. Trying hard to do some stretching but sometimes the pain is really unbearable. I think my nerves in my left leg are affected liao. Think i really got to work harder to improve my back. Swimming is sth that i haven done in weeks. I just went for a really short jogging session. Hmm let me think, what can i still do.

It kinda feels good to be back to the busy days, when i rush to work, home, meet friends, tuitions. Makes me wanna treasure every sec that i have, when i am working, with my family, with my friends, and student. How fan-jian, why human tends to treasure something only upon realising it's not enough or when losing it. Reminds me of a 'song' that a few of us made up. "How fan jian can u get, how fan jian can u be?" haha crap!

Haha kinda excited that my 21st's coming. This is the first time i am actually planning for my own birthday. haha just sent out the invitations. Thanks ah yang, for the praise in the invitation email. I have to do a good job eh? if not i think no one really wants to come to Sengkang/ Serangoon area. Haha by the way i did everything in my office, a condusive environment :) haha was really happy that my supervisor told me i can always come back to work part-time when i am having hols in uni. Some of my colleagues even jokingly asked me to convert full-time. Haha i really would if i dun have my future to think of, as they are really nice pple to work with. Really got to thank my cousin for getting me this job haha. Thanks!

For the past 20yrs, i really seldom celebrate my birthday. Ironically, i think i have spent most birthdays with CPCians, with this yr the third. Cos i never really care to celebrate my birthdays haha, same for others i guess.

Bless all.
Cya at my birthday =Þ

Day 3

2006-05-17T22:32:00.000+08:00

Day 3

What a good start for today. I made a point to sleep at 11+ yesterday cos my back was aching like mad and wanted to wake up earlier to go for a swim in the morning before work. Guess what? Upon reach the swimming complex at 8am, this was the note that read,"The swimming complex will be close from 8 am - 3pm due to some UYETUYHVH(*&*&T&E^%D activities, sorry for the inconvenience caused". I was so damn pissed! They should have put their events on the websites! hiaz anyway nvm, i will be sleeping now, waking up at 230 to watch barca vs arsenal and wake up at 715am to go for a swim, HOPEFULLY no events again. Argh, nightz everyone.

Day 2

2006-05-16T23:08:00.000+08:00

Day 2

Ouch, back getting from bad to worse. Deciding to postpone my swimming for a day is seriously wrong. Anyway i am gonna go fot a swim tmr. For sure! Today's work is alright, just that i seriously gonna start walking ard more cos of my backache, cant stay in my seat too long. Hiaz, like what i said, Uncle Hongda(yeah, i am an uncle in 7mths time) advice pple to take care of their back, cos u will really regret after injuring it.

Love,
Hongda

Day 1

2006-05-15T23:00:00.000+08:00

Day 1

Today kinda 'scolded' cos my stupid hp rang when i was serving a customer, taking orders and so suay my supervisor walked out. Felt so stupid. Worked OT till 8pm, all because of a late order coming in and i was too kind to reject that gal.

Did some physio, weights after dinner. Back felt better after doing some exercise. I am gonna sleep early today cause i had planned to go swimming in the morning tmr before work. Got to wake up at 7+ and reach the swimming complex at 8am sharp. Haha come to think of it, if i really can make it there at 8am, that will be the first time in 21yrs i got to the swimming complex so early in the morning.

Alrighty, time to rest i suppose. Gonna listen to some music then go to bed. Ahh :) it's early today 11pm nia, proud of myself. Talking abt music kinda miss my ipod.

Nighty pple.

是时候了

2006-05-14T14:17:00.000+08:00

是时候了

付出与收获
往往是不能做比较的
这样的想法
应该是正确的
但是否让人越陷越深呢

被爱伤过的我
以为不可能再爱了
即使心里想爱
想把心窗打开
但是否能真的付出呢

被爱是幸福的
被珍惜是宝贵的
被喜欢是甜的
被聆听是种安慰
但是有几个人想过它们是哪来的

非常可惜的
在这繁华城市的我
似乎已迷失了自己
即使知道想要的去向
但是还是经常失败了

是时候了
是时候抛开所有的疑问
是时候让自己回到轨道上
是时候拾起信心
找回一个全新的自己

加油！！

My New Resolution? haha

haha now that everything's in place, with me getting a job, a tuition(i owe ya a big treat for it lol) and uni gonna start really soon. Maybe it's time to put some stuff in place, so that i can be a busy man again! haha

heh okie, here it goes:
1. Jogging thrice a week
2. Doing physio everyday, together with weights(on days not jogging haha)
3. Sleep before 12:30am(on days i got to work)
4. Limit my spendings to $400 per month
5. Bball/swimming at least once a week
6. Pack my room once every fortnight
7. Check my little brother's work every night
8. Read Newspapers everyday
9. Read 1 book per month

haha so far that's all i can think of right now, and as my friends know, i hardly keep my plans for long so at least what u guys can do is to chase me offline by 12:30am!!! hahahaha :)

ORD LO!!!

2006-04-26T00:51:00.000+08:00

ORD LO!!!

haha today is the day i had been waiting for ever since i got enlisted on 26 Dec 2003. The day SAF took away my pink IC and replace me with a dull green card with an ugly photo of me. After 7weeks of shitty and yet the most enjoyable BMT, juggling between family, then-girlfriend, friends, i came through and got to the office i was in as of yesterday, the office where i devoted the rest of my NSF liability to. I experienced lotsa ups and downs in this period, mainly family problems - frustated, broke-up - devastated, tuition-stress - depressing, and others. Somehow today when i stepped into the office for my last day, it felt so different. I can feel the smile i put on was so real, 100% real. I am really happy and looking forward to everything ahead of me, as i embark on a new journey. I will be starting on a temp job wef today, so i should be sleeping soon. KL trip this weekend, maybe a trip on early Jul before my uni, followed by orientation camp and start of mugging season. Just so many ahead of me waiting for me right now.

Today really felt like the best day ever since dunno when. Treating my collegues, taking photos, spreading ORD-aura the whole day in office, followed by a heartwarming, touching movie, Eight Below, at Suntec :)

Thanks to all those who had made this very important day of mine so memorable.

ORD lo.

Thanks and best regards,

Mr Tay Hongda

Yao's Birthday

Yao's Birthday

Haha, all these pictures were stolen from huishi's blog. Yup i am just plain lazy. But check the last picture out! Hongda with 6-packs! how often can u get to see this man wahahaha!

Easiest 50bucks EVER!!

2006-04-04T14:06:00.000+08:00

Easiest 50bucks EVER!!

haha yesterday went on a temp job yao recommended. We were just told it's for some company function at suntec from 4pm to 11pm for 50bucks and nothing else. Sounds pretty good eh? But initially we were quite worried what are we gonna do exactly. Hehe, is it some clown? or really just some slack job. Ans: SUPER DUPER SLACK JOB!! muhahaha

We got to the place about 3mins late. soon after the briefing started, we collected our t-shirts and pass. 4 of us were assigned to the simplest job ever. Giving chop/stamp to the staff coming in for the party. By the way, it's prudential's company party. haha the crowd started to come at about 5+. from 4 -5pm we were practically doing nothing. just chatting and walking around the place. haha the busiest period was between 530pm to 730pm. haha it's felt like doing normal sentry duty to me, just that i am paid for it haha.

So, what did i do from 730pm - 1030pm?(yeah, we got off at 1030pm, 30mins earlier)
1. Watch magic performance. Although that guy isn't at fantastic, it was rather entertaining.
2. Look at tequila babes. Hoot! they are wearing tube with hot pants carrying a water gun around shooting liquors into pple's mouth. How hot is that! muhaha!
3. Listening to band performance. Although they are not as good as those at wala-wala, it was rather a pleasure to the senses.
4. At about 10pm, we started our feast!! From sushi, to fried prawns, to sweet and sour fish, to dessert, to liquor, to juices. haha everything! oh yah, the satay was the best cos the satay sauce was still hot! Yummy.
5. Best moment. haha after we helped out with the counting on the usage of alcohol, we returned our t-shirts and pass and receive our 50bucks pay for the day. just look at the picture!

Muhahaha, easiest 50bucks ever!
And a picture with Douglas too! lolz

Deepest Condolence

2006-03-26T22:59:00.000+08:00

Deepest Condolence

SINGAPORE : A colonel from the Singapore Armed Forces died while participating in the Singapore Biathlon at East Coast Park on Sunday. Colonel Bernard Tan Cheow Han, 39, collapsed and died after nearly completing the 10-kilometre run. He was just 600 metres away from the finishing line. The colonel had earlier finished a 1.5-kilometre swim before the run. SAFRA which is also the organiser of the event says immediate medical attention was given to Colonel Tan at about 10am. He was sent to Changi General Hospital and was pronounced dead at about 11am. The cause of death is still being investigated by the police. More than 1,700 people took part in the biathlon which included the chiefs of army and navy. Colonel Tan was the Assistant Chief of the General Staff in charge of army personnel matters. He was married with two young daughters aged two and seven. - CNA/de

Just left like making one more post after knowing about this. He was a young and promising person. likely to be the next Chief of Army or maybe even Chief of Defence Force. (for the benefit of gals who dunno. Chief of defence force = head of army, airforce, and navy). Saw him before and i think his wife and daughter before as well. He looked witty, sharp, and yet not crafty kinda person to me at first sight. Passed away just like that.

Farewell and deepest condolence. Let's observe one minute of silence.

Good Weekend

2006-03-26T20:04:00.000+08:00

Good Weekend

haha haven been updating my blog with a proper post for sometime le. heh, just plain lazy to update partly because i dunno why my samsung program screwed up, i cant upload pictures from my hp. Argh, i think i got to re-install it some day.

just took a picture of myself. haha new haircut, changed my parting also. BUT cant upload, SIANZ! haha anyway just an update on this weekend.

Yesterday went ECP with ahyang and collin haha with the intention of teaching ah yang blading haha. heh i managed to get a video of him struggling and falling down so for those interested u can come look for me muhahahaha. he was a quick and determined learner man. Can u imagine someone who skated like almost half ECP on his first try? haha ahyang did it. After that, we(colin and i nia, ahyang had returned his skates haha) blade to marine parade to have our lunch haha, nice xian cao drink it has. afterwhich, i blade from marine parade to Kembangan MRT station to take MRT down to pasir ris for my chalet. haha the weather was so good till JUST before i reach the station man. it started raining 300m before i reach kembangan!! just when the station is in sight. Argh, the most pissing thing is, the rain stopped within 1min i found shelter, and i am all wet already.

Anw went to my so-called ORD function cum chalet that JM organised. Well, pple came, pple pang seh. So i shall not comment much about that. haha i am glad that i went, thou it's just slacking around haha. oh yah, the best part, BBQ! haha the guys went out saying it's time for BBQ, and started raising fire. So i just thought i can still slack around playing some PS2 game. i went out after sometime, look at the fire. Stunned. NO FREAKING FIRE! hahaha all of them cant raise BBQ fire muhahahaha. i almost peng on the spot. Then while raising the fire i was saying, "wah liew! OCS de also cant raise a simple fire ah?" Reply was,"we use solid fuel loh, moreover who use charcoal in field camp one!?" Freaking hilarious.

So, today. Wanted to go play bball with my friends in the morning. But slpt a bit too late last night so couldn't get up in the morning haha but i did myself a favour in the afternoon haha. i blade the swimming complex and had a good 20+ laps swim and bladed back home again haha. It feels really shiok to work out man. but i think haha because of my left ankle sprain i had been relying on my right foot too much while skating, feels a bit strained now. So i guess i will rest for monday and tuesday so that i can be back to my sunny saturday cum do-all-shit-together gang(including skating) on wednesday haha.

SHIT, i realise i am starting to peel!! ahhhhh dammit! haha got a bit burnt last weekend haha went sentosa. Yesterday's sun at ECP and today's sun in the afternoon when i was out for blading and swimming was strong haha. Anw i like to have tanned skin! hehe. just hope the peeling will not be too serious.

Good weekend indeed.

周杰伦 - 开不了口

才离开没多久就开始
担心今天的你过得好不好
整个画面是你
想你想的睡不着

嘴嘟嘟那可爱的模样
还有在你身上香香的味道
我的快乐是你
想你想的都会笑

没有你在我有多难熬(没有你在我有多难熬多烦恼)
没有你烦我有多烦恼(没有你烦我有多烦恼多难熬)
穿过云层我试着努力向你奔跑
爱才送到你却已在别人怀抱

就是开不了口让她知道
我一定会呵护着你也逗你笑
你对我有多重要我后悔没让你知道
安静的听你撒娇看你睡着一直到老

就是开不了口让她知道
就是那么简单几句我办不到
整颗心悬在半空我只能够远远看着
这些我都做得到但那个人已经不是我

林俊杰 - 原来

2006-03-12T15:08:00.000+08:00

林俊杰 - 原来

街灯绊住我眼前下一步
拉长的影子嘲弄的回顾
电话亭仍留着你的话
一句话掉一滴泪
今晚的我会是如何入睡

原来最疼痛的表情竟是没有情绪
原来最残忍的画面可以甜言蜜语
我不懂得如何更爱你
影子讽刺地跟着我难分难离
原来最孤单的是我还是那么想你
原来最悲哀的是我不能面对自己
你收的干净
我也会不留一点痕迹

说故事也要像是真的
可是别触动那些回忆
今夜你说了最后一句
一句话掉一滴泪
看来今晚的我很难入睡

2006-03-12T15:04:00.000+08:00

张惠妹 - 听海

写信告诉我今天海是什么颜色
夜夜陪著你的海心情又如何
灰色是不想说蓝色是忧郁
而漂泊的你狂浪的心停在哪里

写信告诉我今夜你想要梦什么
梦里外的我是否都让你无从选择
我揪著一颗心整夜都闭不了眼睛
为何你明明动了情却不敢靠近

听海哭的声音
叹惜著谁又被伤了心却还不清醒
一定不是我至少我很冷静
可是泪水就连泪水也都不相信

听海哭的声音
这片海未免也太多情悲泣到天明
写封信给我就当最後约定
说你在离开我的时候是怎样的心情

Just how much is mine? Can someone just tell me?

Feeling down leads me to think of a lot of things. I really dunno why am i feeling this way. I guess i might be frustrated at myself for the lack of discipline and how irresponsible i had been for everything lately. it's really time that i pick up the pieces and start working on everything that i should.

Blading to WCP

2006-03-03T10:42:00.000+08:00

Blading to WCP

haha yesterday after work blade from office down to west coast park. it was one of the most terrible and torturing skating experience i ever had. cos i sprained my ankle just outside my camp but i decided to press on after giving my ankle a bit of massage and tightening my skates to the max. the routes were pretty easy, except for some slopes that need a little more control along the way, which obviously i cant cos my ankle was hurting then, so i was going really slow. haha i will see if i can get the pictures max took along the way and post it up. anw our end point was at west coast park mac. we had some drinks and rest before we went for our dipper(dinner + supper). tried to look for a chinese physician to take a look at my ankle but we were too late by the time we reached. haha anw i just took a MC, that's why i am here typing all this. just for info, my ankle looks like this now. sigh, looks like i am outta skating for weeks le! hope i can be better in a week's time cos i got blading at ECP on 11 Mar 06!!!

The sacred thing every NSF looks forward to

2006-02-28T23:43:00.000+08:00

The sacred thing every NSF looks forward to

haha it's 1st mar already... one more step closer to my ORD!! and take a look what have i got :)

ORD clearance form haha

FFI form!

and i am fit for ORD!! lolx

How forgetful can i be?

2006-02-27T18:24:00.000+08:00

How forgetful can i be?

Or rather how fan-jian can i be? went over to yao's hse to stay over cos i had got dental FFI on monday. so i agree into sending 2 poor gals studying in NUS dinner on sunday night. BUT i forgot to bring my clearance form to yao's hse. in the end got to drive back home(with yao's family car which i dun think anyone should lay their hands on after me) to get it(which cost me abt 10bucks of fuel). after that went back to NUS to send them home. played dota till late in the night, such that i woke up late the next day. i left his house in a rush only to find that i left my clearance form in his house -_-!! so in the end i managed to get my docu clerk to fax a copy of the clearance form to safti. so thinking of this i feel more fan jian, serious waste of the 10bucks fuel money.

*dun ask me why i am using fan-jian so often lately. ask my SAJC group of crappy friends.

Ice Skating

2006-02-27T18:23:00.000+08:00

Ice Skating

haha time to update my blog le. yup, last saturday i went ice-skating. heh that was the first time i stepped onto the ice skating ring, was kinda excited before the outing. haha kept jio-ing pple to come. In the end, 11peeps turned up for the event haha and stomped the place haha.

Highlight of the day 1: I lost the freaking ice-skating admission ticket. haiz was so sian then, thinking of the fines that i got to pay. it's freaking 30 bucks. thanks to huishi, yuwen, ahyang who proposed splitting the fine, really appreciated that thou i think i wun really accept that. but anw it was all good in the end cos the manager actually found the ticket and the 5bucks folded together with it. haha after some shitty explanation, i manage to get the ticket back. phew~~ if not 30bucks gone like this. haha so huishi proposed buying 4-D(for the first time) haha so we went to the nearby NTUC and bought it. the lost-and-found admission ticket number was 312295. so we bought 3122, 2295 and 1229. and guess what, the first prize is 2795!!! argh, the first prize was so close and yet so far. haha nevertheless, i really had fun man

Highlight 2: Cheap thrills. haha we had 2 x 50cents cheap thrill that day. check out my pictures! hehe

Highlight 3: Desmond's birthday. haha went for desmond's birthday celebration in the evening. haha it was so freaking crowded so wasn't really comfortable man. haha but seeing my buddy so happy that day with lotsa present PLUS he was changing into our gift for birthday photo-taking, hah! that really meant sth to me, thou he din know that i tried that on then! hehe!

50cents Cheap thrill
Before des' birthday! 2D rocks
Bloody waste of my 6 bucks
Lost-and-found ticket. we insisted on taking a picture of it before returning it haha!
yuwen, ahyang(man-of-the-day), huishi and i!

hmm i think i look rather wei qu taking this photo hor. OMG WHAT IS HUISHI TRYING TO DO!

Johor Bahru

2006-02-24T23:55:00.000+08:00

Johor Bahru

haha, it's a friday. as usual, it's a boring day at work, just walking around in the office, waiting for volcanic eruption and with thousands of arrow piercing through me while looking forward to the JB seafood outing that i was going to have. haha it was then raining in the early afternoon, and with the news that only 3pple were gonna turn up for the outing ltr, i was soooooo sianz. the thought of pang seh-ing was soo freaking strong haha. but in the end i decided to press up, met up with Gerald and cross the causeway with this noob. Yes, he was seriously a noob cos he had never crossed JB by bus before but i doubt he is a noob now which i will elaborate ltr. haha so we cross the customs, met up with Elaine at city square haha and headed to RESTORAN AH KAW for seafood. hehe she drove us around, funny to see someone sitting so close to steering and upright when driving lol. anw outta rush, i forgot to change ringgit so all we had was abt RM 100. not wanting to stay back and wash the dishes, we were quite conservative while ordering haha. we order bee hoon, chilly sliced fish, chilly kangkong and cereal prawn. all of them were nice, just enough for us to feel full and most importantly, for just freaking 51RM!! haha so it's only 17RM per person. we were so shocked with we got the bill. Elaine went, "Ah? you sure? got count wrongly or not?" anw haha glad that we dun have to wash the dishes, took some pictures at the restaurant as well haha. heh oh yah, we were discussing on a road trip to cameroon highlands, and maybe KL as well in early May. Weeeeee!! can drive le!! haha.

After that Elaine drove us to her club, where me and Gerald showed off our Singaporean driving skill lol. and that is, vertical parking!!! haha, we were playing with her family car(i hope her dad doesn't see this :p) haha driving round and round the club, Gerald tried parallel and vertical parking, while i trying only the latter cos i wasn't too confident with parallel parking due to the size, hehe, MVP.

Went to Elaine's hse to sit around a while, we were waiting like 15mins outside the house waiting for the gate to open thou. haha the freaking gate doesn't open no matter how hard we tried, and i was controlling my bladder like mad! anw just when we are hopeless and just chatting outside the house, the door suddenly opened! haha phew, can release my storage tank.

Okay anw highlight of the day would be how screwed up Msia customs is, and on the other hand how dumb and noob Gerald and I had been(but trust me, we are pros now). we went to the singapore customs without getting the msia departure chop!! we are like 2 helpless little boy seeking for help at singapore customs. luckily the ICA officers allowed us through to the other side to take a bus back to msia to get the chop.

So why does this happen? yes, we got to agree we are noobies. but msia custom is soooo screwed up. look at singapore customs, the moment u alight 170, u go up to singapore customs, go down to board 170 again, reach the msia custom, get their chop and poof! u are in JB. everything is a one way guided traffic on singapore's side. places u are not meant to go, they will fence it up. there's no way you can walk to the wrong place. but on the way back, *shake head* the correct way should be taking an escalator up to msia customs, get their chop, take the escalator down to the bus berth, and take a bus back to singapore. BUT the bus stopping at the bus berth can park all the way back to the escalator u take before going up to the msia custom. that's not all, it's NOT FENCED UP!! WTF. seeing pple boarding the bus, Gerald and I happily boarded the bus and went all the way to singapore customs. without getting the chop from the msia side. SUPER DUPER SIANZ!! luckily it was like off-peak hr then. we took about 45mins to go back to JB and come back to singapore so it wasn't THAT bad. maybe i should write in suggestion on how to improve the msia customs man. argh.

here's some picture we took along the way :)

At the restaurant :)

here's our dishes, sorry about the sour plum juice that was blocking the view, it's mine :p

Damn Full, way to go man!

Cheap and nice seafood restaurant, or RESTORAN(whatever u call it) for ur reference

happy that we finally got our chop, on our way back to singapore for the second time

I just finished watching this movie again. Yeah again, this's the second time i had watched it. highly recommended movie. for gals, u can watch it for the dances, shuai ge, and the touching and romantic story while the guys, hmm u can try learning the dances lol!

it's about this cutie 'bought' from china as a partner for a dance competition. and how they fell in love. quite a twist in the story. very touching and romantic movie. the dances are astonishing good, haha make me kinda miss dancing again. maybe i should take up dancing when i recovered.

P.S. I had kept a copy of the torrent file for this movie, those who wants to watch it can request the torrent file from me for download, it's 463MB, good quality with chinese subtitles :)

Night Cycling

haha, the long-awaited night cycling was back!!! and great success as well, lest the distance covered din really satisfy me haha. It was a friday, 17 Jan. haha we started the night cycling at 915pm or so after collecting the bikes. everyone was high on spirits. haha chiong ahhhhhhh!!! i had the worse cramp in my life. i am not joking, seriously it was the worse. there was a steep slope and i chiong all the way up even thou i feel as though i'm gonna cramp any minute halfway through. and true enough, i cramped. it was really bad, i cant even bend my knee(forgot to mention, my thigh muscle cramped) i have to bear with the pain and forcefully squat down in the middle of the slope. sidetrack a bit, i was still cramping the day after when i went for a birthday celebration. haha i will put all the blame to wednesday's skating and my hyperactiveness along the trip haha, racing up and down the cycle squad. cos apparently i was trying to take care of the safety of the group.

on bus: on way to ECP(why are we happy when we are actually late?hmm...)

Kitsrunner: haha just before setting off, everyone seems to be at their best! Changi Beach: Conquered!

Changi Beach: Fake Shag-ness!!

Sense of Achievement

'O' level results had been released last friday. my student call me yesterday to tell me his results(haha normally i would just wait for my students to let me know their results). he got L1R5 of 15points. haha he was contented with it, so am I. I was really happy when i knew that he did very well with the subjects i was tutoring him for the past 1.5yrs. A1 for emaths, A2 for Amaths, A1 for combined science. Hearing a 'thank you' made my day as well. haha was always worried abt him cos he was always inconsistent with his results. guessed he proved his own worth this time round :) congratz to him. and i will strive to be a better tutor lol

Happy Friendship Day

Happy Friendship Day

Gonna make a short post. yesterday did sth crazy. went outta hse without any aim cos was kinda feeling down. got to the station platform, train to jurong east arrived. i board it. met jessie on the train and got to talk to her. called jin for a chat. went JEC and watched ice hockey, which i am soooo gonna learn if i got the time some day. went to have supper and stayed over at yao's place. played dota till 5+ haha that's crazy.

But brand new day. went NTU to collect flowers with yao cos this bastard agreed to deliver flowers for free lol. after much consideration, i drove yao's family car again cos it's much more convenient this way. deliver flowers at gaylang, UOB plaza, hougang. went to brewerks again, where yao and yuwen were practising parking at the park car while waiting for others lol to celebrate V-day for the lonely souls.

had chats,
had drives,
had funs,
wonderful friends.
wonderful day.
wonderful v-day.

thank you all. happy v-day + friendship day. let's renew our friendship once again :)

Ride

2006-02-11T04:46:00.000+08:00

Ride

haha, for the first time since i passed my driving test last Jan, i am actually driving! haha but of cos that would also mean wo po jie le!! haha just drove huishi home in chengyao's car.(haha not exactly his car, he doesn't even have a liscense yet!) huishi, u should be glad u are my first passenger. same for u chengyao. to tell the truth, it was pretty 'scary' to be in the passenger seat on the way back when you are driving without a liscense lol!

Road to Recovery

2006-02-10T00:05:00.000+08:00

Road to Recovery

Finally went to see the doctor today, took some antibiotics, lozenges, cough syrup and painkiller back home. seriously, it feels shitty to fall sick. for no rhyme or reason, i woke up in the middle of night yesterday, throat damn sore, feverish, and followed by chest pain and breathing difficulty. had a panadol, acting as both painkiller and medicine for fever, my fever went down, same for chest pain. i wun ever want to have that kinda feeling anymore. seriously. i wonder how would things be if i just ***(in view of the festive season, certain word has to be censored) in my bed last night.

my mum was telling me one of our neighbour back then suffered from cancer. she's now bed-ridden, lost all her hair to chemos, weak and helpless. even thou i dun have much impression of her, it's just as heartwrenching to hear that someone i supposedly knew is suffering. all the best and gd luck to her.

Anw, i missed the crystallite visit due to MC today, sianz. but manage to have a good rest after the first dose of medicine. slpt from 12-5, which explains why i am still typing at a time like this. haha guess i stink now, gonna go bath and have a rest.

out.

Full attendance!

2006-02-08T22:38:00.000+08:00

Full attendance!

haha! still feeling a bit sick now *cough cough* but nothing beats the smashing day we had. a full attendance today at esplanade skating in quite a while. Crazy Big Kids unite!

haha okie, i started off with a terrible day. waking up at 6am, bodyache, headache and achy neck. in short, whole bodyache? i was kinda sick yesterday, had a headache perhaps from all the heaty junk foods that i had been eating. having 3 ulcers now, 1 on lip, 1 on tongue, 1 in throat. it hurts even when i am swallowing water. anyway so just as i said i had no intention of taking MC. yes i am wierd, when i dun feel like taking MC, even if i am damn bloody sick, i wun take MC(the truth is, more often i take MC when i am not even sick lol) but knowing that getting outta bed is such a torment, i took half day morning leave which i am glad i did. haha i quit my stubborn-ness, and took a panadol pill and force myself back to slp. wake up a bit now and then but i still got some rest so i woke up feeling refreshed with headache gone. hehe got mum to massage a little for me and did some stretching on my own after that haha and there goes my bodyache :)

After that, met up with them to buy YC's skates at queensway. took a cab to my branch head MAJ Lee(haha all NSFs, yes, she is the MAJ that controls ur fate in NS muhahaha) hse cos we were already late. play a bit of card and then went to esplanade for skating. haha today i wasn't too aggressive, wanna recover from all muscleache and injury before chionging again. but it was still damn tiring cos we skate for like 3-4hrs? haha on my super heavy agro skates. on yeah mun, i was saying today was a full attendance for the lao jiao CBKs. check out the stuff we did man lol!

CBKs unite~

let's welcome the man-in-blacks

hey wait up... i think jireh(right 1) resemble some KOF character?

Strange...

2006-01-27T23:51:00.000+08:00

Strange...

It is strange, i had a fun and enjoyable day... CNY celebration in the office, after which a skating session, skating along citylink, with pple staring, of cos only to leave with new bruises... met up with my dear sister... bought hp... and manage to kan her cai tou by getting her treat me to TCC... a strawberry milkshake with potato munchies... yummy... finally got back my home... a nice and cosy house that's always there for me... conversations were exchanged... laughters were heard... a perfect day... and yet easily destroyed by my very own curiosity...

Looking at that, i felt a sharp pain... i felt terrible... i felt like dying... but not to worry... i still don't have the courage to die... for i have a bunch of great friends who's always there for me... even though none or maybe only some of them knew me... their presence were just good enough...

Making it worse, it was shortly after i thought i am finally ready put memories behind me and embark on a new journey... that pulled me back... real hard into a space i wouldn't ever want to be in... afraid to be in... so much so i had to lock memories away in this tiny shoe box... so that i would not sink into darkness... blah blah blah...

A torn jacket is soon mended; but not a torn heart

Angels brought me here

2006-01-26T23:04:00.000+08:00

Angels Brought Me Here

It's been a long and winding journey, but i'm finally here tonight

Picking up the pieces, walking back into the light

Into the sunset of your glory, where my heart and future lies

There's nothing like that feeling, when i look into your eyes...

My dreams came true, when i found youI found you, my miracle...

If you could see, what i see, that you're the answer to my prayers

And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel

You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

Standing here before you, feels like i've been born again

Every breath is your love, every heartbeat speaks your name...

My dreams came true, right here in front of you

My miracle...

If you could see, what i see, you're the answer to my prayers

And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel

You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

Brought me here to be with you,

I'll be forever grateful (oh forever Faithful)

My dreams came true

When I found you

My miracle...

If you could see, what i see, you're the answer to my prayers

And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel

You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

Yes they brought me here...

If you could feel, the tenderness i feel...

You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

duhz... i will blame jireh for tempting me to play with matchsticks! haha anyway it's a scar on the chest... for the fear of being banned or sued after my second post... i had decided to censor certain area... hah! anyway i got to leave earlier for ah yang's birthday's celebration and Geisha... haha it's a great movie... i really enjoyed it... even thou i missed the first 5mins of the show haha... damn! i really hate to miss the beginning of shows lol... i had an enjoyable time with my friends... mostly SAJCians lol... this's a picture that we took just outside glass house where they had fish and co for dinner... using my new hp(not exactly new anymore after i drop it more than 3 times T_T) haha... it was my first time there and i really think it's a very nice place... the ambience is really gd :)

anyway summing things up i really enjoyed my weekend... friday sat at chalet... sat night meeting for geisha, and the whole of sunday rotting meddling with my blog haha hmm... i would say i had fully made use of my time this weekend...

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
