Rants

its me again. feeling rather down lately. maybe its because of my a levels. i think i will might be retaking the a levels,i am honestly not prepared for this round of exams. 2 years of slacking and complacency has caught up to me. sometimes i wonder if i am really a slacker. but i really feel like a fish climbing a tree. i have decided to go into the field of social sciences. all this while i have never been able to find my passion. i took triple science during O levels and i clearly did not enjoy it (nor did i score well,no A1s in any of the sciences)

on the contrary i scored A1 for my combined humans and i loved studying geog. the age old belief that science stream>arts steam is starting to fade for me. i remembered that during the mid years,i spent my time reading up about the GE instead of studying for my exams.

somehow i seem to deviate into humanities....when people asked me what i wanted to be,i told them "businessman" . that was what my mind told me,not my heart. i want to earn big bucks,but definetely not at the expense of my family(time for kids and wife in future).perhaps this is my calling.

just a quick rant,yesterday in the afternoon i tried taking a nap but noise from my dad doing stuff certainly pissed me off. after i was awoken the first time by my brother opening the door,i went to take a piss.at this moment,my mother came home and i went into my room and locked it.my mum then came knocking at my door after i tried sleeping again. i have told her on many occasions to knock only if there is something important. she then began asking me how come i was in the room and blah blah blah . i told her i was there all along and she refused to believe me. wow,i must be some alien who appeared out of nowhere.when she was talking to me,she was standing outside my room with me inside the room and a small gap in my room. she kept trying to push the door to come in and when i resisted (i resisted because i wanted to sleep) . she asked me" whats so secretive?" i was pissed and told her "nothing la" . then she asked me why i am so pek cek. some incident,but sometimes i wonder why my mother is so suspicious of me. its not i have been to jail multiple times or what. i just cannot stand that my own mother freaking doubts me. for so many years i tried being a good person,but sometimes i feel that it is a hopeless,because people will always accuse you of shit anyway. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKCJHBGUIJWHIOFHIOEFHIO[OFHIOFAefoegfEGFegoioEGEGFOegioEJIO

i am seriously starting to doubt my sanity. lol.

all the best folks

this will be a quick rant cos its like 1:40am and i have school tmr

this post will not be about family problems(phew!) cos the problems in my family have finally calmed down,hopefully this can last at least until the end of my a levels

anyway i wanted to rant about hypocrisy. particularly in the entertainment industry where what we see in music videos and such is very different from reality. the impact is especially great when you are a big fan of the celebrity. for example,the departure of the farro brothers was a big shock for me cos i was a big fan of paramore. i was sad over the fact that i will never be able to see paramore at its "full force" , i.e. josh,taylor,hayley,jeremy,and zac all together on one stage LIVE. when i went on 21st august to see them at the singapore indoor stadium,the concert was mindblowing,i can't even describe to you in words lol. i bought the most expensive ticket and didn't wear ear protection(i regretted not wearing). i was kinda deaf for the next few days and i had withdrawal symtoms for the next week or so ( i kept going onto youtube and listening to their songs).even their opening act, the swellers were great haha

but after the concert,i saw something ugly,a few hardcore fans were camping outside the singapore indoor stadium where the vans were parked and the fans kept shouting for hayley's name.they even argued with the person in charge and refused to leave even when they were told paramore was not inside. one guy even said "if they are not inside,can we go in and look?"

this situation was disturbing in many ways.

first of all,a true paramore fan will ask for paramore,not just for hayley williams. i think this is an issue that has been debated countless of times in many places such as youtube,forums,and such. yes,hayley is the frontwoman but come on,paramore is paramore,it wouldn't be the same if hayley were a solo artist. this issue was hotly debated when the farro bros left and people are split into different camps . camp 1: people who only care about hayley williams and dont even know the names of the other members of paramore and claim to be paramore fans. camp 2:people who think hayley williams only cares about herself (which,in her defense,i must say that if she only cared about herself,she would most definitely be a solo artist). camp 3: real paramore fans who care about paramore as a whole

yes,i must admit that as a hetrosexual male,i am more attracted to hayley williams(can you blame me?) but that doesn't mean i dont give a hoot about the other band members.

also,the way the "fan" who shouted at the person in charge behaved was appalling in my opinoin.this,along with other observations of hardcore fan behaviour such as doing unruly stuff just to get the attention of their idol,really has made me think what the heck this world has become. idols try to put on a good image for their fans while doing bad stuff ( i.e. drugs,unruly behaviour,scandals,nude photos,sex tapes,what have you) in their private lives;on the other hand,fans suddenly turn into people whom they are not just to please their idols (liking things that their idols like just for the sake of wanting to be similar to their idols,and not because they genuingly like the thing).

all these hypocrisy has really taken a toll on me. i dont know why,but i cant seem to ignore all of these. maybe its because i have been taught to think deeper(during GP) or maybe i have matured in my thinking,but this deep thought often disturbs me and makes me feel uneasy. when i was young,i was ignorant and only looked at the good side of things,but as i grew older,things started to grow more and more shitty.there doesn't seem to be any aspect of life that is in a true,pure,non-hypocritical form.

i will admit,i am no saint,but when it comes to keeping it real,i take it very seriously. i believe that there is a difference in "giving face" and "being a bloody hypocrite". in the first instance,you deviate slightly from what you would truly do in order to benefit others,or to benefit everybody involved in the situation. an example would be like if you were with a stranger and he baked a cake and offered it to everyone. the cake totally sucks,but you said " its ok"(note that i wrote "its ok" and not some exaggerated compliment) so that the stranger will not feel like a total crap. in the second instance is one where people deviate largely from what they would truly do or want to do,in order to benefit THEMSELVES. one such example is where you are queuing up for bubble tea and the person in front of you asks if the bubble tea is good. assuming that the bubble tea is good(if not,why would you be queuing in the first place?) , but you tell the person in front of you "the bubble tea sucks" in hopes of wanting him to get out of the queue so that you will be served sooner is an example of hypocrisy.

oops,the post was longer than i had expected,sorry,i lied about it being a short post =P

anyway,the video that inspired me to write this post is:

i might have intepreted the music video wrongly,but its ok,no harm done

what i write in this post can be said to be quite personal. i choose to share it with my readers (and myself) because i trust that you guys(are matured enough and will not start to gossip behind my back.well,if you want to gossip ,i cant stop you,but please have a limit.

hi world i am back again.

its funny how blogger is just a click away and sometimes i am just too darn lazy to blog.

sometimes i just want to pen (or type) down/out some of the thoughts that i have,especially immediately after the incident just happened. but most of the time i dont really have the opportunity to get to it.

tonight is a rather rare occasion...cos i am here blogging

surprisingly nothing too depressing has been occuring to me lately but the recent weeks i find myself drowning in thoughts. yes,thoughts,just thoughts.

in the past year or so,i have been starting to do more and more thinking. i start to question things that i never used to question. during the GE ,i questioned the competency of all political parties;likewise for the PE. but what really has been bugging me is something that i never questioned : morality. in the past,it was simple,just listen to what my parents and teachers say. but nowadays,i even start to question what they do/say,particularly my parents. my childhood has been almost a fairytale compared to many other less fortunate people. my parents were happy together,i had clothes to wear,went to a good school,had food to eat,had transportation to and from school.

but in the recent year,everything started to go downhill.my parents started to fight(and still fight once every couple of weeks). the thing is that whenever they fight,its always the same drill; my dad would leave the house,and my mother will start shouting at me. yes,i didnt type wrongly,she would shout at me,not at anything or anyone else. she will shout at me.

like recently when i was about to go to changi airport for an overnight study session with yours truly,my mother came home and found out that my dad did something(something that made my mother angry,it wasn't something against the law,and it was not like going away/out with some other woman) . but yeah it pissed my mother off and she claimed that my father did not inform her that he was going to do *the thing that he did*. (just a sidenote: she lied,she knew about it all along) . dont ask me why she act blur and dont know what he did. but my dad did inform her and my dad warned me that my mother *wasn't too happy about it* .

another sidenote,my dad's behaviour has also been very disappointing for the past year.no further comments on this.

it was only when my mother came home that she started to throw tantrums. anyway back to the study session,i was about to leave the house when she started shouting at me . she shouted (at me) "how can you like that?" i looked at her before she said " i am not talking about you,i am talking about him" . she went on to shout at me before i started crying. yes,i fucking cried. and it wasn't just tears rolling down my cheeks,i was openly weeping. she continued to shout at me "you this kind of person,like him liddat,cannot (i forgot what she said,it was something along the line of not being able to be a strong foundation for a family) " . all these happened when i was wearing my shoes,so when she finished shouting i walked about of the house,then when i was closing the door,she pushed the door shut forcefully and locked the door.

all these shouting happened when my brother was like in the living room together with us;which seriously puzzles me why she only shouts at me and not at my brother.and btw,when the above happened,i did NOTHING to provoke her or to piss her off. she seems to see me as an embodiment of my father and when my father is absent,the shouting comes to me

anyway,back to the story,after she locked the door,i slowly walked to the bus stop,while crying at the same time. the amount of hurt i was feeling can never be described in words. my own mother shouted at me for something that i was not responsible for(and she was clearly aware i was not responsible). some of you may say, oh,she is probably is pissed,so tahan and lend a listening ear lor. but really,do i deserve this? i was shouted at ,and as you can see from the dialouge above,she seems to see me as my dad instead of seeing me as her son. and the problem is that this has happened umpteen times,where i was shouted at for something that i did not do.

the amount of pain that she caused me,she doesn't even know,i dont know if she even gives a damn.for the past year,she has only been preoccupied with her own issues. she doesn;t even care about my emotional well-being anymore. all she does is question me like a prisoner. some of you may say that her questioning is a show of concern. but i doubt it,none of her questions has ever catered to my emotional well-being. she only asks " when are you exams? what time are you coming home? who are you with? these friends,from where? your school?"

and i think that she has some rules that are seriously ridiculous. just to clarify,i am already 18,18th birthday passed already. on the day of my birthday,i took a pack of nuts and 1 can of 5% alcohol tiger beer and drank it in my room. the next day,she smsed me " happy birthday,next time please dont drink" . she has this ridiculous rule of not allowing me to drink a drop of alcohol unless its under her supervision. just to clarify again,i am a free thinker,so i am not bounded religiously and neither is she,she is a buddist and i dont remember any rule is buddism banning drinking. and btw,a few hours ago i asked her if i could have a bit of choya (google it) ,she said no;the reason she cited " its very heaty". i find that the rule is very ridiculous,and its one of the rules that she is seriously unable to justify. i had to call my aunt(mother's side) and ask her why my mother is behaving like that. my aunt said that my mom is worried i will get drunk outside and start doing crazy shit.(first of all,this is a case of too much television,contrary to what you see on dramas and movies,you dont get drunk EVERYTIME you drink,or at least,i dont,because i am not a stupid asshole who downs a bottle of vodka everytime (or anytime in fact) that i drink).

on top of the low chances of me getting drunk,she contradicted her own rule by not letting me drink at all,not even under her supervision,when i was supposed to be allowed to drink under her surpervision. and did i mention,my mother did not impose this same stupid rule on my brother,neither has any of her sisters a.k.a my aunts imposed the rule on my cousins. and she herself and my dad also drink. but at gatherings with my cousins (mother's side) she lets me drink and acts as if shes cool with it,but i think(yes,think only) she does this to save her own "face" so that she doesn't come across as this person who controls her son in an unbelievable manner. so basically i am very angry about this stupid rule,that basically has no proper justification,just like 2 years back when she shouted(very loudly at me) when i asked her if i could buy a bike.

what happened was that i came home and immediately stepped through the door i asked her if i could buy a bike and that i would pay for it on my own. she said no,then when i asked her why,she shouted at me,the contents i could not remember,but she spent the whole night shouting and doing things forcefully,like when she closed the lid on the rice cooker,i could hear it VERY clearly from my room,which was air conditioned and had the door closed.

one last thing : privacy. there was once i locked my bedroom door and was inside doing some stuff. my mother barged into the room using a key to take out some luggages for my cousin who just came to the house. she didn't call my name,knock or anything,she just barged in. after that when i asked her why she did not knock or anything,she claimed that she thought i am sleeping.i told her that it was wrong of her to barge in and she said " whats so secretive?" the point that i was trying to make is that i wanted some privacy and this has been something she cannot understand.her stand is" if you are not doing anything that must be hidden from me,then why can't i come in" . well is it wrong for me to ask for some privacy? going by her theory,i must keep the bathroom door unlocked when i take a shit?

even though i may come across as an evil son who badmouths his mother,the truth is that these things are things that really happened to me and i am just expressing my unhappiness. although it may sound contradictory but i actually love my mother a lot. the ton of things she does for me on a day to day basis cannot be captured by mere words or photographs,and these things that she does i am actually very grateful towards her. but some things(like the things mentioned above) , i just cannot stand.thats a fact that i cannot deny.

so back to morality,sorry for the long-assed digression. so the question i have been asking myself is " what is right? what is wrong? what is wrong with drinking?" in the past when i was in primary school i would just listen to everything my mother would say.if i were 10 years old now i wouldn';t drink,but now that i am past the legal age i dont see why not. and another thing is hatred. i have always been the "neutral" guy who tries to forgive and forget. but recently,some people around me have seriously been pushing the limits. some of these people are already out of my life but some are not. i start to quesiton myself " should i hate this person? should i just let it go?" i seem to have lost my sense of direction. lost. missing. gone.

didn;t expect this post to be so long....

so long now...(get the pun? haha)

2011-05-01T15:28:00.001+08:00

my brother has returned from overseas.

everything is now in a state of "normal".

hope it stays this way

2011-02-05T00:42:00.002+08:00

hi guys its been so long.....

first of all i would like to wish everyone a happy CNY

the irony of the statement above is that this CNY is the most messed up one i have had ever so far

usually when bad shit happens i usually just post it on facebook using a more.... discreet language,meaning i dont literally say " oh just did to me and i am so pissed" but rather in a more...ellusive tone

anyway i am back here again because the shit got so bad facebook simply can;t hold it all

well,you probably guessed it,its family problems

but before i start on that let me tell you about the other issues i had

1)a side of my bed collasped, and now i have to sleep on the floor.well,actually something good came out of it;sleeping on the floor is much cooler (as in literally cool,not *put on sunglasses* cool)

well actually thats about it

now on to the family problem

as with other posts i really hope that you as a reader can be responsible and have the conscience not to announce to the entire world about the family problems. i chose to write it here because i believe my readers will have the courtesy to keep the problems to themselves

anyway

what i am so pissed about today is that my parents always like to pretend to be a normal couple in front of other people . its a fact that my mother isn;t happy about my father's friends coming over for cny and that my father is angry at *i dont know what*

thats the fucking problem. my mother overreacts to the smallest of things and my father behaves like an irrational child . my mother always thinks that she is in control of everything(in cluding her emotions) but she is not.my father also always think he is right but actually behaves in an irrational manner.

in the past when arguements happen they always ask me not to interfere because " i am too young"

but now when arguement happens i am supposed to be the judge and say who is wrong who is right. the fucked up problem with that is that whenever i point out their flaws,they just ignore me

another problem is that my mother always like to "put up" with the shit that my dad does and then complain about it later to someone else,which is almost always me,because my bro is overseas and i become the "chu qi tong"

well in the past they obviously couldn't get a divorce because my brother and i were too young

then last year they "pitched" the idea of a divorce. obviously neither party went ahead with it. i also didn't want and neither did my brother. i mean,who wants a broken family

but now everytime there is a family-occasion they have to "wayang" again and that crap seriously pisses me off

for the sake of everyone it would be better if they got a divorce. you must be thinking i am crazy for saying that,but whats the point of having this fucked up relationship where the children have to put up with your crap once in every few months?

and all of this "pain and suffering" that you(refering to my parents) claim to suffer will be all gone

fuck this crap seriously....my father's mistake is that he always has a plan,but always fail to see to it that it gets carried out FULLY. his mood swings are also rather fucked up. my mother's issue is that she always think too much,very emotional also,and OVERREACTS.

heh and i happen to be listening to "bad romance" .

what irony

2010-07-23T23:40:00.001+08:00

a tangled mess. caused by you .

2010-07-03T02:42:00.007+08:00

ok so it has been awhile

i am pretty relaxed now since mid years has ended . i have a bad feeling i will screw it up badly.esp after the post mortem (econs) today. i thought no one would bring anything but 90% of the people came with bags. i went to school with a stick-on pad and a pen . after that i cycled to fernvale to collect some stuff and it started to rain halfway.....camped at bus stop for about 20mins before deciding to just chiong through . when i came back also the same.it was super cold+ i had approx 10km to cover . some parts of the pavement was heavily flooded. there was one part the water came up to my toes(i was on my bike pedaling)

but anyway my torchlight arrived yesterday and its seriously kick ass . its the led lenser P7 (like anyone who reads my blog cares about the name) .it cost me around 80 singapore dollars,it was about 40 pounds on the website but it had a 10% discount at that time and the pound is very weak compared to SGD. of course it would be boring if i just copy and pasted some random internet review so i will just show you some pictures and you decide for yourself . photos were taken with iphone 3gs camera .every photo that had my torchlight turned on was 100% pitch black initially .enjoy

Nice packaging

it came with a pouch,batteries,a caribiner and a lanyard (of course the torchlight itself also)

This is the inner casing of the torchlight,the contacts were gold plated . gold plated stuff have always appealed to me . *gold plated suona FTW*

All pictures were taken in complete darkness,except that for my room,there was this insignificant blue light coming from my cpu . No pictures were edited in any way other than the last picture i had to rotate it

High mode,spot

High mode,flood

my living room high mode,flood. notice i had to put my hand forward cos the circumference of the light was just too epic

No,i am not addicted to electronics/flashlights . i am just showing you guys some pictures cos all i have been putting in my previous posts were words and videos -.-

2010-06-27T00:50:00.003+08:00

first of all i would like to encourage everyone (esp batman fans) to watch this 30min short flim . its worth every second of your life.

what i type following this is rather personal,if you are reading this,no matter who you are,i would appreciate it if you would just read and keep it to yourself and not go around on msn saying "WAH,THIS JIE HENG AH,BLOG ABOUT HIS FAMILY PROBLEM,QUICK GO READ! restrictedarea2.blogspot.com!!!!" . you might say "if its so personal then why not lock it?" but my response is that although this is personal,it isn't top secret either . so i trust that everyone here has the maturity to keep your mouth shut (sorry for strong language) . thanks

alright so this blog post will be a little different from the past blog posts. in previous blog posts i have always been very careful not to talk about my family problems;not that i am a hypocrite but because it will generally cause certain people to probe too much into my personal life .

but for the past month or should i say past few months my life has pretty much been fucked up. alright i understand that i lead a relatively good life, i have a shelter above my head(even though the construction works my upstair neighbour does seems to be never ending) , i have food, clothes and a rather good education.

the thing is that, for the first 16 years of my life(i am officially 17 now) my family has been rather stable . my parents argue once in a while but it has never been big problems . no one in my immediate family (i.e. my bro,my parents and i) have a drug/gambling/ or whatever major addiction. so life was very peaceful and i was very happy. however i have always treated my parents with a cold shoulder(i didn't scold vulglarities or what but i had a bad attitude) and took for granted what bliss i was living in . everytime i stepped through the main door i took for granted my parents happily sitting on the couch saying hi and trying to make conversation with me . i took for granted that i had everything in front of me. a happy family,a comfortable home,friends,an excellent education. i was too blind to see.

then it all started in november 2009 . it was the holidays and my parents brought me to genting(my bro was in chicago) . then there was one day we went to awana during our genting trip. my parents started to argue while we were having a tea break. so i thought nothing of it and that night in the hotel room,my father went to casino(i mean,what do you expect? genting+casino=win) and my mother and i were in the hotel room .then my mother started to drink some alcohol that my parents bought together at potong jaya(the place at the foot of genting highlands) . so i was like,maybe she was just chilling out,no biggie . then she started crying. i went to console her and told her not to drink anymore.she told me to go and sleep and promised that she wouldn't drink anymore . then when i tried to sleep she suddenly broke down again and i noticed that she finished drinking the wine . then i was thinking to myself "wtf" . so i quickly took the other two beer cans (unopened) and dumped its contents into the sink.i then went out of the hotel room to throw the beer cans. when i tried going back into the hotel room,the door had closed and i realised that i was locked out (i.e i locked myself out LOL) .then my mum opened the door for me . what followed after that was 2-3 hours of my mother repeating this cycle : she breaks down and cry like crazy--i console her--her crying dies down--i try going back to sleep--she breaks down and cry like crazy again . so mid-way during the process i started crying also which did not help at all. so the next day it was the day we were returning to singapore. my parents were very hostile to each other and there was nothing i could do. my father was in a mad rush to chiong back to singapore . his top speed on the highway was up to 180km/hour and he managed to maintain this speed for quite long periods of time . not to mention he drives a nissian sunny and not a dodge viper . the next morning i was awakened by my mother at 9am(i usually sleep till 12) and my parents were having this big fight, digging up stuff that happened in the past to shoot at each other .

alright so this problem cleared up eventually within the next week or so and they reconciled. but then past month or so they started fighting again over some email my father's friend send my father . so that fight(when i say fight i don't mean physically fight) got pretty serious and i had to call in my aunt who has been the guardian angel of all the grandchildren of my maternal grandparents .she then talked to my mother and she was alright for the next few days.but what followed in the next few weeks was constant and continuous break downs by my mother and i had to keep consoling her. there was one evening i was getting ready to go to the dance concert but my mother broke down again . she kept saying " ok la,you just go la" in a very pissed off tone . but of course i didn't go.then in the next week or so she kept asking me to sms my father to tell him to come home (he went to malaysia) and kept crying . she would stay up to 1am? 2am? just staring and waiting by her handphone .

so basically i had to deal with all this fucking bullshit and i asked my mum if i should tell my older bro about this. she said " no don't tell him,he have exams" . wow,like i don't have exams? so i was going to shoulder the responsibility of trying to pull my parents back together . along with the help of a couple of old time friends and some relatives . we all tried talking to them . then when my brother was coming back on the 14th of june, my parents magically reconciled and started talking to each other than a few days before that . wow . just wow.

i know you guys are going to be like " why do you only talk about your mother? what about your father?" the thing is that during these events my father just went to malaysia to cool off and my mother stayed at home so naturally my side of the story will consist mainly of my mother .

i am not trying to blame anyone for what has happened. i believe it was caused by a conflict in perception and interpretation . and i might have sounded like i was pissed off just because i had to deal with these family problems.and no,i do not feel that they are biased towards my brother and i do not hate my brother,in fact,i am glad that my brother's return to singapore actually helped to ease some tension. the truth is that no matter how many family problems i encounter i still love my family more than anything else and i will do my best to solve the problems (even though i will have the fucked up feeling now and then(like now)) .what i have learnt in 17 years of my life is that, nothing else in this world is more precious than my family. my father will always be my father,same goes for my mum and my bro . even if i lose everything in this world,i still and will always have them .

again i must say this,if you are reading this please keep it to yourself . i wrote this post to just release what has been going on in my life . this has really impacted my life and opened my eyes to a whole new world.it has helped me think deeply and really push for diplomacy whenever and wherever possible. i did not write this post to gain pity or symphaty .please don't behave like a self-proclaimed psychologist and give me "treatment".thanks for your concern(not being sacarstic) but i am really doing great. this is not a suicide note,death note or econs note .i am still jie heng a.k.a thum and i will always be.i am not having some split personality or what in front of other people nor am i trying to pretend i am happy.when you see me smile,i am really smiling because i am happy.(p.s. i don't really like to smile its not in my nature XD) in the past few months i have had many happy moments amongst all the family problems.

thus i would to end off by saying:
Only when you have tasted shit then you would realise drinking pee is fucking awesome

2010-06-24T23:57:00.001+08:00

life can throw exams,nasty people and many other obstacles at me,but it can also throw me this:

omg i am going crazy......the mid years are in less than 2 weeks time. i don't understand anything about physics and maths. and i suddenly got addicted to paramore XD. i spent dunno how many hours looking at their videos....interviews,live performances,candid,fan videos. and whats surprising is that i have learnt how to appreciate only about 2 songs from the band.maybe thats because i keep spamming these two songs and stubornly refuse to listen to the other songs. oh well....

this is misery business . i find the grunt she did at 2:00 is very nice . and the sideways headbang is just awesome . i should try that on my suona some day....

hi this will be a solid post after weeks of being lazy

yesterday was tricia's b'day celebration.woke up at about 8.15 and got ready for my trip to ECP. so i got onto my bike and started cycling there. went from tampines ave 10 to a short transition at kakit bukit before rejoining the PCN(park connector network) at bedok area,then to siglap and after 1 hour i reached the exercise corner near east coast. then juline asked me to go to st patrick's school's bus stop. waited there for a while before moving over to the bus stop opposite to meet with the rest. then tricia came and we sang the happy b'day song. then i biked my way to meet yiliang at BK .then everyone regrouped at BK then we decided to go to MAC for breakfast .when they started playing bridge i decided to sit out and watch. played bridge there but kept losing .

then we ate the cake and took some pictures where i gave my spastic smile(not on purpose,but also not trying to say i am spastic la ) . my smile is jus liddat de =( then sufen smeared my face with the cream on the cake and initially everyone though i was angry but in actual fact i wasn't XDXD . but i must admit,the cream which was made of mainly butter stinked like crazy =O

then went to arcade.slacked there for about 15mins before riding home in my bike .i love my bike to death even though its second hand .every time i look at it i feel so proud. dunno why o.0

this morning went to visit the dentist . i thought i had a tooth decay in one of my molars but it turned out to be filling that was black in colour. rofl la

I HAVE TO STOP SLACKING

2010-05-14T01:02:00.001+08:00

chior concert was great

2010-05-12T20:15:00.003+08:00

today i went to CO with my brand new suona bag for gao suo .(as seen in previous post)

and i came home with this:

zhongsuo box.

my new journey begins

2010-05-11T20:31:00.001+08:00

you have been with me through thick and thin for 3 years now .you deserve this.

no more shoe bag.

my suona bag.

ok it can't seem to stand upright.

2010-05-03T22:09:00.002+08:00

i was listening to nasco's version of yao zhu wu qu yesterday.

and i saw something rather interesting..... tell me about it guys.maybe is my eye got problem

2010-05-02T12:52:00.002+08:00

this post shall be about 30th of april. one of the most epic days ever

i packed my bag the previous night, 1 set of PE attire, 1 set of full black performance attire with black leather shoes and black socks.

went to school with everything,felt very heavy

PE- amazingly i did 64 sit ups,i think its becos of the plush mat. haha . unfortunately i cleared every station but pull up. pull up i did 2. when i was doing my 3rd pull up.i could freaking smell the leather on the pull up bar,but my muscles just didn't let me go up. i even let out this super loud moan that sounded as if i was having....well,you know..haha

12.05 -left for CO

went to CO room to wet my shao pian and had chicken rice outside

then after that was reharsal .

then went for the royston tan thing. i would have loved it if he played a clip of gang 15,but he did not.kinda disappointing.during the presentation many ppl came in late from the back door.everytime someone opened the door,this bright light shone in and guess who was sitting behind me(i was sitting near the back of the lecture theatre)? yea ms lai,my principal. so some ppl gg-ed on the way haha.

after that went to change into performance attire and rehsarsed. during one of the songs cheng hao blew wrong note for one of the songs and it sounded super werid. joesph then said "walao,don't liddat leh!" LOL

after that was dinner.caught up with loky,mao and jon.they came early and we chatted for a while.then the gao suo guy from TPCO came and we practiced the solo for long teng.

then it was performance time.before i entered the hall i was like "aiyah no kick la" but when i stepped in i got slightly tense haha. but i just did my thing(spam taifeng lor) and enjoyed the process. before the conductor came into the hall i saw maopu and jonathan.loky's head was hidden behind someone else's head.then when the conductor came in,i couldn't see jonathan anymore cos he was being blocked by the conductor. haha sway

then i also saw jarratt and calvin cos their heads were poking out from the crowd. i also saw sean,jason and justin. justin even made a "telescope" from the booklet and looked right at me with it.i almost rofled.

you must be wondering why i had the time to see so many ppl. thats becos i had to stone there for 3 songs haha!

overall the performance was great.

thanks to everyone who made it possible.

2010-04-25T11:53:00.003+08:00

hi.

went to watch clash of the titans with jonathan,maopu and lok yong yesterday at plaza singapura.expensive trip

14 dollars-pizza hut
5 dollars-popcorn with drink
10 bucks-movie ticket
70 cents-macdonalds ice cream

i would say that the clash of the titans was kinda disappointing.here is why:

p.s. the characters i mention in the following paragraphs is that of potrayed by the movie clash of the titans and not the actual gods

1) imbalanced power

i feel that there is an imbalance in power. lets see,zeus used a lightning strike against a mortal man and the man didn't die? LOL ITS ZEUS'S LIGHTING "the most powerful weapon in the world" all the man got was severe burns and a rather disfigured face.

then comes the kraken,which was created by hades, zeus's brother which manage to defeat their parents (imagine: parents of gods,wow) . since the kraken was so strong,why couldn't hades use it on zeus when zeus decided to banish him to hell? the next thing is,the kraken was owned by a medusa's head because of a special curse that she had that made everything she looked into turn into stone.

lets take a step back and think: who cursed medusa with such a power? OH YES! anthema! who is also one of zeus's siblings(i think) but zeus is still the boss! and since anthema had such great powers to create such a powerful curse,couldn't she have just owned hades in the first place?

2)kiam siap father: zeus

lets see,the most powerful god in the entire world gave his son a pegasus which apprantly has no other powers other than flying and a shiny sword with no apprant special powers to defeat a god.

i mean,come on,he could have done better.if i were him,i would give my son at least a small portion of my lightning(remember hor, the most powerful weapon) and at least some magical powers of some sort

the other funny thing is that when percius was going to hell to fight medusa(not to forget,medusa's head managed to own the creature that owned percius's grandfather) ,zeus only gave percius a pathetic coin which was only enough to bribe the ferryman for a one way trip to hell.its as if zeus is trying to say : "go to hell son,and don't come back" .

which leaves us wondering how percius managed to get back out(i kinda forgot how he did it)

3) the movie ends with the resurrection of the princess,which is like -.-

yea,i should have watched it in 3D

2010-04-20T23:52:00.001+08:00

ostracize

this word has been stuck in my head all night

LOL!!!!

2010-04-15T23:29:00.004+08:00

ok this will be a solid post with lots of cursing

so...these few days i have been under so much stress that it seems to have a reserve psychological effect on me. instead of mugging like crazy to keep up with school work,i have started slacking like crazy.i have done ZERO work today even tho i reached home at 5.

today was a bad day. "sally"(the name has been changed to protect the person's identity) started crying after physics period cos of the immense workload. syahida has transferred out of MJC. and i received a msg 1 hour ago that tingying has also done the same. so now we have 23 ppl instead of 25 ppl in 10S414. Great. /sacarsm.

ok so i have started doing irrational things. i just downloaded maple,yes,MAPLESTORY. to my dismay,my storage account has been hacked.not only that,the person put a second password(cos i didn't put so he had the chance) on all of my characters .

well,in the past if this happened i would have gotten super angry.but this time,no.i didn't get angry.in fact i pity this imbecile because he was so dumb to think that by putting a second password on my characters,he could prevent me from accessing my chars forever,right? WRONG LOL!!! i am still the holder of the asiasoft passport.so i went to reset the second password.but i couldn't change the first password as the website keep telling me i put in the wrong password O.O . then i decided not to change the first password.

why?

because i wanted to delete one of my chars, create a new char called UPhailHacker and re-equip my other char with expensive equipment. now,why on earth would i do this? the first reason is because i wanted my HB mule a.k.a one of my chars to walk faster.the other reason is because the hacker still could access my account,but cannot touch my characters.

so if one day the hacker logs into the account,he would see the following:

one char with full equipment
one char that has the IGN : UPhailHacker

and if he tried to use my characters,he would have to get pass my second password which he doesn't know.

yes,some of you might say that i am childish,but hell,i am satisfied.

social benefit(my satisfaction) =social cost(time wasted doing all this)

EVERYONE IS HAPPY

YEEEHHAAAAAA!!!!!!

edit: i didn't curse at all.wow

2010-04-04T20:52:00.002+08:00

on the movie marathon,i decided to take a little nap as the movie was kinda boring.so i put on my headphones and fell asleep while listening to music such as(it is quite hardcore):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbcwOHvoZbA&feature=fvst

yea i was super tired

found this song a few days back and i find that it is very nice:

sigh everyone is so into mainstream music nowadays.....no one(or should i say,fewer people?) listens to heavy metal.....sigh

2010-03-31T21:34:00.002+08:00

today jin how and i were practising at the gallery. the JC2s were having a talk in the hall.

Halfway during our practice,

some PE teacher comes out from the office and says "ok,stop,stop " at us.she then shouts to her students "hey there is the lightning warning what are u guys doing outside?"

the HOD for cca pops out of nowhere and says

"okok,can we just stop the music for awhile we are having a talk in the hall"

jin how and i then went to the place above the squash court (the court is on the first level but the ceiling stretches to the second level) and started to practice.

if i am not wrong,halfway during the practice i heard someone shouting hokkien vulglarities. then i said to jin how" hey,i think we should stop,it is kinda loud"

then some random guy suddenly screams from the first floor "YA YA,can you all go somewhere else to practice? the sound is ear piercing! sorry ah!"

epic

2010-03-30T23:24:00.001+08:00

"I can hear you from the bus stop when i was going home" -Benjamin

Jonathan calls me in the middle of practice and says "Are you blowing matsuri? I am having lunch at home and I can hear you.Must be you right" Me "Yea,I am blowing matsuri from across the field"

darren says "when we having math olympiad in lt5 can hear"

"LOL I can hear your suona!" -Calvin

No other instrument is as epic as suona.

Suona FTW!

2010-03-28T17:45:00.003+08:00

2010-03-25T23:24:00.006+08:00

ok hi.

i finally have time to blog.

last friday/saturday(forgot) i went cycling with two other guys from pasir ris--tampines-bedok-siglap-east coast-changi village-back to pasir ris .it turned out that they were roadies(people who ride road bikes).well,i was on a mountain bike and had thick tyres on so i had to pedal a lot harder just to keep up with them. this was a convo between me and another guy(who was supposed to stay behind me but decided to cycle beside me cos i was way too slow)

me:hey,are u pedaling very hard now?

him:nope,i am on a low gear

me: are we very slow?

him:usually when we cycle alone we cycle at 35km/hr,but when we have company,we slow down.we are doing about 18-20km/hr now

me:oh....

LOL

then on last sunday i went to T15 mountain biking trail with a group of guys.the trail was fun but i didn't take pictures

basically my past week has been kinda like a roller coaster.clearing homework at a fast pace now =D

some pictures:

this is a picture of me projected onto a screen. XD super zilian

salvo drums was super cool but it was kinda repetitive+i was having fever LOL

i took 10 bloody mins to find a cab after the concert and i was freezing (becos of the fever) as wind was blowing at me.in the cab it felt like i was in the north pole.

but surprisingly,i receovered the very next morning,which was ytd.

2010-03-08T22:14:00.006+08:00

there is an upcoming CO camp and they even require me to put a picture of myself on the form.i couldn't find one so i dug into my 10 year old sticker album

i heard that MJCO will be rehearsing yao zhu wu qu and fen yong

i find it such a coincidence....

the above was performed by nasco(in 1999!) and not mjco.

hmmm.....i am super hyped up now.haha

2010-02-20T13:59:00.002+08:00

yesterday followed justin with shawn and jason to the pe department to make appeal.i wasn't making an appeal but justin was.then i saw a piece of paper glued to a wall listing the ccas still avaliable.under "chinese orchestra",there was a remark *few vacancies left*. this made me think:chinese orchestra,few vacancies? if i didn't remember wrongly, guo lao shi(my previous conductor) said before that it was good to have more people,so that the chances of having several pro-er players was higher.look at this example:

orchestra A had 10 dizi players,the teacher intended to put 5 players for syf,so they had 10 players to pick from.

orchestra B only had 5 dizi players,and the teacher decided to put 5 players for syf,so what are the choices they had? very limited.

but who knows,maybe a large portion orchestra is made up of grade 6-10 players.maybe la.lol

Yup,i didn't even bother counting.

the performance at the concourse was kind of a letdown .the percussion's taifeng was a little...i don't know how to say,but it made me feel uneasy. and the suona's taifeng was like.....not coordinated,it was like standing on a small boat in very choppy waves and strong currents

ok bye

2010-02-19T01:07:00.004+08:00

this post will be full of cursing and swearing and ranting.

ok today i woke up and had a stomach ache.sat on the toilet bowl and nothing came out.

skip skip skip....it was time for the first break of the day.my appetite sucked and i wasted about 20% of the food i bought.bought the usual stuff,1 curry chicken and 1 serving of vegetables.

then i went to buy house tee with zhi heng.we came back and saw that our bags were gone.justin kept calling me but my phone's receiver got problem(means cannot hear) and i had to reject his call.then we found out that they helped us take out bags to the LT(thanks guys).then sat down beside miao ling and the lecture started.i dunno what happened to me but i suddenly felt very tired and sian.i couldn't even respond properly when people(including the lecturer) started talking.i was like a dead zombie.

then after econs lecture i walked to the other side of the LT.as i was doing so,this guy came directly in front of me so i had to step one row up(i dunno if this makes any sense to anyone) and i kicked a few chairs in the process.so i went out of the LT,went down the stairs.when i realised i couldn't find anyone and i didn't know what the next lesson was.so i called justin and he told me the next lecture was chem lecture and it was in the same LT.so i ran back and ms vina saw me.she then asked me"why are you so late?".

ARGH WTF WAS I DOING.

next time i gonna follow other ppl.

then during crystal i felt the urge to do big business but i wanted to do it at home(more cosy =P).but after that during econs tutorial i beh tah han and chionged to the toilet.when i was coming back,i got a bit lost and ended up looking into other people's classroom.because the windows are tinted,i had to literally plant my face into the window before i could see inside while the people inside could see me clearly(kinda like a one way mirror).so i looked into at least 3 classrooms before i found the tutorial room.when i stepped in,the teacher said "its ok,we are just setting expectations". i guess i looked flustered.

then just now at night went to bikelink to buy some bicycle stuff.the mini pump i bought broke after 10mins of usage,not to mention nothing went into the tyres/tubes.

sorry that lied,i didn't curse a lot.i will curse more next time.

promise.

2010-02-14T01:08:00.004+08:00

today is not only CNY, and valentine's day,but its also the day the three great leaders(actually 2 retired already) of guanyue made the guanyue chop.

you must be wondering,whats the guanyue chop? or even,whats guanyue.

i used to be in the chinese orchestra,woodwind section,in chinese they call it guanyue.as the guanyue leader was going to be introduced,the three great leaders(2 retired),me,jonathan and michelle went to chinatown to make the guanyue chop as a symbol of authority.to this day,i feel sorry for michelle as she had to join in the madness,this entire thing was jonathan's idea,and i helped to push for it. many CO members do not know about this till now,because the making of the guanyue chop was rather.....crazy.meh,once you have sectional leaders who would spin 360 degrees with an instrument in their hands(and mouth,with air passing through the instruments),NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

this is how it looks like

ya ok.bye

2010-02-14T00:58:00.002+08:00

happy CNY!

on thursday i went to the asknlearn to look for the online lectures that the lecturers promised(i didn't come to school) and i didn't find it.the chem lecturer said that i would be able to hear his voice on the asknlearn portal but all i heard was a generic male voice,very much unlike his. and i was sabo-ed by my class to be the NatEd rep.sigh.my civics tutor even made it sound nice and said "the entire class voted for you" through a sms. wow

on friday didn't go to school either and stayed home the entire day.nothing much happened

sat:i finally collected my helmet today.time to go to pulau ubin(bicycle trails)

dammit i got caught for hair.went to the barber to get it trimed for 5 bucks.the hairdresser was complaining that the school was too strict and that she cut a guy's hair until very short but he still kenna caught.LOL

boring lectures

zzzz

2010-02-07T23:09:00.002+08:00

went for cca display on friday and tried the shooting.this is how it went:

senior: *finishes up on briefing*

senior:"oh ya,just a side note ah,the rifle has a lethal range of 200m.this means that anyone in that range will have his skull penetrated through,and through as the bullet is going at *insert speed(I forgot) * .Just a side note only la"

then when i walked to the position where the people start shooting,i pick up the rifle and put my head near the rear sight(something like a scope) .then i said "i can't see the front sight at all!" .after 5-10mins of having the people there fumble over my problem,i realised that i closed the wrong eye.cos the rear sight is on my right and my head is on the left.by right,i should close my left eye and look using my right eye,but since my left eye is dominant,i closed my right eye instead.MEH

so i took a few shots and moved on to the pistol.the person said i was not bad for a first timer,even though i cannot figure out how he came to that conclusion.

then after that i went to see the chinese orchestra booth.there were 2 suonas sitting there and i asked the guy if i could play one of them.he handed me the C diao but i put it down and took the D diao instead,for obvious reasons.then there was a girl who asked me if i had any musical background.i then said that i blow suona b4.then a guy asked me "so you got blow both gao suo and zhong suo b4?" i said "no la,gao suo only"

so i went on to adjust the shao pian(there was no qi pan) and i tried blowing the first 6 notes of matsuri (last note of bar 55 onwards) and yea...i zhao xiaed and i ran away.

so i went back to the shooting range to find darren.then there was this guy,who missed the target and hit the metal thing on top of the target.when the bullet hits the metal thing,there will be this loud "PING!" instead of a suppressed "PU" .so this guy missed and it went "PING!" and darren was a little startled. then we continued our conversation when suddenly,it went "PING!" again! LOL and its the same guy. the thing i cannot figure out is how the bullet hits the metal thing,cos i missed 2 shots and it didn't go "PING!"..so yea.

lulz

2010-02-04T21:44:00.002+08:00

orientation was a blast.

thanks guys.

today was full of slacking and leparding(slacking in malay) .

after the boring talks in the morning,followed by a math lecture,there was a 4 hour(NO TYPO ERROR,FOUR HOUR) break till the chem lecture.so halfway i went with my class to canteen/library to slack.hehehehehe

2010-01-29T23:46:00.002+08:00

ok.today was nightmarish lol

6.40 woke up and had diahhorea. 6.50 my alarm rang so i couldn't get back to sleep.then i realised my long pants was 1-2 inches bigger than my waist size and my mother cut off both the buttons at the side so i couldn't button it.i can frantically rummaged through the container for a pair of un-ironed pants.it had one button at the side.so i just wore that and chionged to school.

reached the school gate and chionged through the car park and a patch of grass.the funny thing was that there was an entire row of students standing at the side (supposed to greet us i think) and one guy from 100m away from me suddenly screamed "GOOD MORNING" at me .so i just continued walking to the hall. late already....lol . i jumped in between the space of two people and my leg hit a girl's shoulder,if my leg was any lower i might have tripped and fell onto another person. 640 newtons of force...not funny ok. anyway i feel so apologetic towards the girl whom almost got her arm ripped off by my leg(exaggeration) .

then the principal talk. my face was like -.-

then was the mass dance and the cheers.

there was this guy who came on stage to teach us the college anthem. his talking and singing voice were two worlds apart.anyway,i might be crazy but i kinda liked the college anthem,its a break away from all the cheesy school songs. HAHA.

2010-01-13T22:10:00.005+08:00

i know i have not updated for a long time,so here goes

31st december

spent a lot of money taking a cab from raffles city to eugene's house. i would like to thank calvin for personally coming down and leading me to eugene's house. and sorry for making you miss the countdown, we spent the final seconds of 2009 running to the lift. ya ok.i know.it sucks

nothing much to update actually.

just that someone dragged me to temesek poly for a talk about the IT courses they have there.turns out that the person who dragged me there failed both her humans. so during the talk(with people sitting all around me),i raised up my hand and said(out of goodwill and stupidity) " if i fail all of my humans,can i still join the course?" .the lecturers were like "err...err" then this TP staff came up to me and asked me for my result slip -.-ll (those who failed your humans please don't feel offended,i don't mean to offend you.cheers)

maopu lost his form A(like the most important document in your entire secondary school life if you took o levels) like 2 hours after he got it.lol

kinda happy about my o level results,to many people it might be sucky but hey,i am happy with it =D

my results:

english:b3 (kinda disappointed,wanted to get A2)
combined humans A1(dunno how this happened,was supposed to get a2/b3)
e.math: A1
a.math A2(i got a d7 for my mid year and end of year,so this can be considered a miracle)
physics:a2
chem b3(sorry ms toh)
bio:a2 (expected a b3)
chinese :b3 (_I_ waste my money =( )

L1R5: 11 (9 after deduction)
L1R2B2/B4/R4(whatever u call it): 9

P.S. here are the pictures(one only actually) of the monkey i promised

2009-12-28T23:13:00.003+08:00

2009-12-10T02:16:00.002+08:00

I just checked my schedule just now; I am working 55hours this week.Kinda tiring for a spoilt kid like me =P

well,at least i can get the free meal(the burger is awesome and can get iced lemon tea for free)

i had the chicken Casar burger today,it was freaking huge and it made me super full.

new colleague came in yesterday.her name is qishan.an even newer colleague came in today,her name is nora. ok,the last two sentences were just for primary schoolers to practice their usage of connector words.

super tired.tmr working from 12pm-9.30pm with only a 30min break.good luck to me.

2009-12-06T01:11:00.002+08:00

i am so....tired.

29 november,sunday

started work at 5 and ended at 10.30.got an early release at 10.10 =DD

30 november

off day...went to watch mulan with jonathan.we had a buffet before that and it sucked,too little varities...mulan was quite good,even though the people living in the north are so cruel,but they do it for a reason,because their land sucks and have nothing while the WEI people have everything,so they end up fighting wars and blah blah.

tuesday to friday was basically 12pm-9pm (thursday was 12pm-10.30pm)

so i am freaking tired.

then today had to get the tickets for the SCO(serangoon chinese orchestra ) concert.just kidding,i know SCO is not = to serangoon CO .its supposed to be SRSCO or SSSCO. then i went back home and took a nap before arriving late for work (10mins late) at 6.10pm.
worked till about 10.30pm but stayed to eat the burger and drink some iced lemon tea taken from soup spoon(sister resturant of the handburger)

so basically there are a few people whom i always work with,no matter what shift i take.the manager is quite nice. and then today one of the female waiters asked me" how old do u think i am?" well,i just said " i need to clear the cups" and walked away. i seriously didn't want to answer that questions becos i had no clue,she looked like 14 but i knew shes like 16.

sian,tmr till mus wake up early cos need reach the resturant at 12pm.then will work till 10.30pm.super tired.

bye

Ok,i have finally decided to stop being a sloth and start blogging about what happened in my pathetic life.now,lets start with last thursday.

last thursday,i went cycling at night,took this route:

pasir ris--->loyang-->changi--->bedok--->changi coastal--->east coast--->siglap--->bedok--->tampines--->pasir ris

at east coast there i saw this longang,which was choked up partially by sand,here are the low quality pics (2m.p handphone,lousy flash,shaking hand)

yes,thats a longang,not a beach =(

saturday,went to the concert with the 3 suona masters,with my favourite GUO YAZHI YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

his 999 roses WAS KICK ASS...WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

and his gao suo(not sure if its considered a gao suo -.-) was kick ass,hell,i am not even sure if his XXL sized gao suona is even a gao suo in the first place,i doubt so =D

ok,sorry about the rotation,lazy edit =P

then my genting trip,the mountains were very nice:

ok crap,this one oso rotated =(

haha

thats all folks!

2009-11-22T00:09:00.003+08:00

i am such a sloth...shall update the concert after my genting trip

Going genting from 22 november to 27 november. Please don't rob my house,thanks ah.

p.s.looking forward to new blogskin =D

2009-11-21T00:44:00.002+08:00

Hi,this will be a long long blog post,not sure if i would be able to finish it =(

ok lets start with the 4R1 chalet on monday.

about 2.30pm,left my house on my bike.small drizzle and the pavement was freaking wet.I was cycling quite fast near to ris grandeur when i passed by this woman on a bike.she gave me a shocked look.well,my spectacles had raindrops and i was bascially wet waist down,no surprise there.

after that i reached aranda,i didn't know that the place was called aranda despite the fact that i have cycled past the place like 329482039 times before. =( lousy observation skills

then i reached the chalet and had difficulties locking my bike outside the chalet.then this very nice security guard comes and tell me i can't lock my bike there cos they will cut my chain.

then i cycled it to the bicycle lots(didn't see,pajiao) and parked it there instead.

on the way back to the chalet,saw cliff coming on a bike,same brand as mine,urata.then i told him "hey,you gotta park the bike there" *points at bicycle lot* then he replied "aiyah heck care la".at this moment,the security guard came into the picture and....lol....

then in the chalet,played cards for a while and then went to play ball with yy,josh,darren.weisiang and jun ann came afterwards. the floor was slippery ,so darren and josh was barefooted.they kept whining about the slippery floor. then i accidentally injured darren as he slipped because i pulled his left hand.not to mention i whacked joshua's throat.sorry =(

went back.bathed.then set out for dinner.i ordered a foot long at subway,cost me more than 10 bucks.didn't expect the foot long to be so long.my foot where got so long sia.lmao.but i was super hungry so i ate everything anyway.saw some salsa dancers outside subway and there was a customer who started an arguement with a subway worker.in the end the police came in and even questioned the subway worker =O

anyway,went back to chalet after dinner.after that was basically watching movies,cards and all the stuff you do at chalets.at around 2am was tired so i borrowed joshua's blanket(actually he took from the room,so i was just continuing the cycle) and went back to the ground to sleep.i found one small corner and tried to sleep.but with loo yong around,there was like no hope =P.hanqing finally gave up and curled up at one very small corner in order to avoid a mass orgy.couldn't sleep all the way until 4am.there were people who were coming in and out to take stuff and all that....

next morning,woke up at around 7am....super tired but super cold oso.thanks to the saddistic person who put the air-con temperature at 18.thanks ah.brushed teeth and ate wanton noodles.darren,weisiang and joshua came later cos they were xboxing.after breakfast,wanted to go cycling with a group of ppl but darren and gang not interested so i nvr go.later say i pungsae again -.- .played cards.then mabeline and a group of ppl went kbox(a.k.a klunch cos they provided lunch) .wanted to go BUT,there were some unenthusiastic ppl. -.-

at around 2+ was so dam hungry.finally went to burger king and ate.came back and played with sparklers...yes,in broad daylight and it was smoking like crazy.after that played a bit of xbox and then went to the beach with clement and jun ann.i was on my bike and i can';t believe it,that group of clowns CAME TO THIS CHALET AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING....WHY? ok sorry about that.we reached the beach but it started raining.so the 3 of us ran to the toilet and camped there.finally went back when the rain subsided.

after that went home and tried to style my hair.

wednesday.prom day.met with maopu and ck at tanah merah mrt.went to the hotel and saw loky.then i found out i was sitting on the same table as donnervan,dunno how that happened.then went into the ballroom.it was not bad,nicely done.sat down and asked for chinese tea,i think i was the only person to ask for chinese tea.

overall the food wasn't very good,the fried rice was a little bland,the duck meat was hard,the fish was nice tho =D .alex didn't come and someone changed table so we only had 8 ppl.8 ppl with 10 ppl's food XDXD .the performance was quite good,just that the microphones were too soft =( and there was one song where the singer was offbeat and he smiled to himself XD

after that was the lucky draw,our table strike 3 times but i nvr get anything =(

then went to take some pictures and walked around with ck,maopu and darren.suddenly,we walk walk walk and then walk until the mrt station.then we realised that there was still train service cos the guy said the last train leaves at 11.45pm and it was like 12am already.but 11.45pm is leave from the last station,forgot the name.3mins to the last train leaving.darren's ez link card no money.i lent him 2dollars to top up but he was told minimum is 5 dollars.so i lent him another 2 dollars and he got the ticket instead.idoit,come out dun bring money de....managed to catch the train and went home =D and to my luck,at 12+am,there was still bus service so i didn't have to walk.

OK DONE .YAY.thursday's cycling adventure shall be posted tmr.

2009-11-15T15:29:00.004+08:00

2009-11-13T22:27:00.003+08:00

You turn me into a dumb fool.

You make me irrational.

You have pushed me to such great levels of stupidity

Am I supposed to let go?

I bet you don't even know how i feel about you.

I don't even understand why i feel this way.

But if i tell you,i wonder how you would react..

2009-11-13T19:11:00.003+08:00

-deleted-

ok forget it i am not going to waste anymore of my time on you.you go screw yourself ok.

o levels ended,my a.math tution teacher said that i was supposed to be full of energy.

liar.

feel so tired now.

so many problems to settle

2009-10-22T18:20:00.003+08:00

Your very existence drives me crazy

I fight day and night to keep my sanity

No matter how far we are apart,my infatuation towards you knows no boundaries

Even time does not erode my desire for you

Every moment you spend communicating with me is akin to me living in my fantasy world for as long as the clock ticks

I try hard to ignore you on the surface,but deep down inside contradiction drains me away

Please,hate me;for that is the only way i can sustain life

I think i am going insane.Well,see you guys in woodbridge(if i even make it there XD)

2009-10-17T23:41:00.005+08:00

hey there guys.just went cycling...the stress was really getting to me...haha

i feel so happy now!!!!!

ok this is the chicken rice that i cooked a week eariler,haven take out the pandan leaves and the other barang barang...argh too bright =(

the feeling of sitting there beside the teacher with 10+ ppl eagerly waiting to ask questions is seriously priceless

Last day of school was a blast.

ARGH WHERES MY WAX??!?!?!?!?!?!

2009-10-11T20:27:00.003+08:00

The most excruciating pain in the world is not rejection,but rather,not having my intentions known to you

Merciless chionging of ten year series has begun.

After observing my room for the past week,i have to conclude that:

stress is directly proportionate to the amount of hair loss

found this guitar player,not bad i would say!

p.s. there seems to be an endless debate over the gender of the guitar player,all i can say is,enjoy the shredding! haha

你怎么舍得我难过-黄品源

对你的思念是一天又一天,
孤单的我还是没有改变,
美丽的梦何时才能出现,
亲爱的你好想再见你一面.

秋天的风一阵阵地吹过,
想起了去年的这个时候,
你的心到底在想些什么,
为什么留下这个结局让我承受.

最爱你的人是我,
你怎么舍得我难过,
在我最需要你的时候
没有一句话就走,

最爱你的人是我,
你怎么舍得我难过,
对你付出了这么多
你却没有感动过.

prelim finally over.quite badly done this time.esp e.math paper 2.

went to subway with jonathan and maopu.i think the veggies i shouldn't have picked so many types.cos its my first time eating at subway,so i told the person "i will have a little of everything" well,the staff was like *PUSH PUSH SQUEEZE SQUEEZE* when my sandwhich was finally done.well,lesson learnt.

just now in the afternoon my father rode told me he was going to use my bike.when he came home,he had no keys,my bicycle seat cushion was gone and the i couldn't switch between gears.well,he blamed me for chosing a lousy bike;when i was young and shared the computer with him,whenever anything went wrong,the fingers were pointed at me.same when i used my brother's computer.its werid that i have used this computer(mine now) for like years and its still in good condition.ok,i am not trying to justify myself or anything,its all in the past and honestly i don't give a damn now.

then at night i went to pasir ris park on the bike.i had to sit on the seat without the cushion and could not switch between gears.luckily i have a big fat butt to cushion my 6Xkg body.when i was in the park,i tried to find a breakwater so that i could sit down.the first few ones had love birds lying on each other so i left them alone.then i stopped at this bench to rest.less than 20m away this guy was planning a surprise for his wife/gf.the girl turned around and he lighted a candle on a cake?.the moment i saw that i quickly rode my bike away.

finally i found a breakwater and sat down.i lighted the latern my mum bought from ikea(candles are cheaper XD) and took out my suona.tried blowing a few notes but sounded like crap.my qi pan is no where to be seen. blow until halfway,my shao pian split in the middle....i tried blowing but i couldn't even zhao sia even if i wanted to -.-

that spot would have been better if not for the ships and their glaring lights...

but it was still good =D

2009-09-12T17:28:00.001+08:00

stressssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

argh save me!!!! dying of stress here

=(

2009-09-11T23:02:00.002+08:00

I can't seem to find the right word to describe my feelings.The word sad seems to be an understatement.I don't know how things got to this.Maybe because i was too insensitive.Too impulsive.And maybe too selfish.I thought everything went well.But what happened?

Your coldness towards me penetrates to the deepest veins in my heart.But unfortunately,this coldness does not numb the pain in me.Am i just deceiving myself? Are you waiting for me to take the initiative? Or do you just want me out of your life?

So many questions......unanswered.

Salvage has never been so hard,as my attempts for salvage may just destroy everything.

2009-09-10T01:33:00.004+08:00

Tuesday-wanted to cycle to changi airport cos there is a long path where i could cycle,about 7km(no,i am not referring to the airport's runway) . at about 3.50 i left my house. i went into the lift and saw a bra hanging on the handrail in the lift.i was like "wtf" LOL .before i even made it pass west plaza,i suddenly remembered i had tution at 4.i then chionged back to my house.when i made it to the ground floor,i was telling myself "hell no,i am not going into that lift again" so i waited for the other lift despite the fact that the other lift i was in previously was already on the first floor.when i went into the lift,i saw a bra on the handrail(again) and i was like "what the heck" .when i was about to leave the lift,i saw my reflection on the side panel in the lift and along with it,another bra inches away from my head.

in case any of you were wondering,no,i wasn't sexually aroused by the bras and didn't feel inclined to touch them . =D

Wednesday-at around 4pm-5pm ,i decided to go to changi airport again.when i went into the lift,the bras weren't there anymore(PHEW!) and i happily cycled towards changi airport.when i reached around the ris grandeur condo,there was this guy in front of me who was riding quite slowly.so i overtook him near the bus stop and when i was about to leave the bus stop,there was this box(i think its meant for controlling the electrical stuff) and the right side of my handlebars slammed right into the box.(no thanks for my brother's racing grips which created a larger force).so i crashed conviently(wow) on the concrete floor.i stood up and tried to bend my handle bars back to the original configuration.the guy whom i overtooked looked at me with a "are you sane?" face .well,the rest of the day was plain gory so i will save your lunches by shutting up.

today-went for steamboat with maopu(happy birthday dude),ck and jonathan.the stuff there got too plain for me and i felt so bloated......haha....just now i watched the moment of truth on tv.usually i dont use my blog to critisize tv shows but i find that that show is completely,totally,morally wrong....broken for marriages for money? come on.and many of the questions asked are actually just what the contestant thinks,and not what has actually happened.

*please don't flame me for the following paragraph,its just my opinion*

for example,one of the questions would be "would you say that your wife is the most attractive woman you ever dated?" and then when the guy answers no,the audience would go like "awwwwww" and his wife would be in tears.from one perspective we could think "yea,that guy is being a total asshole for saying no" but from another perspective,since that guy's wife is not the most attractive woman he has ever dated,but is MARRIED to his wife(who he thinks is not the most attractive woman he has met),doesn't that show that his marriage with his wife isn't just based on looks? isn't that a good thing? but then again,when the host asked about attractiveness,moral values could be attractive as well,but he might(more probably in fact) have been talking about looks.well,i don't know

yea i know,the updates and advertisements are annoying

signing off

2009-09-09T00:41:00.002+08:00

i understand now. i know what to do

:-)

confused

2009-09-05T21:56:00.002+08:00

Sometimes i am so confused,as if there is no right path.No one to guide me as i wander aimlessly in this world where dreams don't always come true. Some questions i am so eager to ask,but i know that by questioning my cause,everything that i have worked to nurture will come to waste.

when you want to go somewhere,mountains will pop up.You try flying over the mountains but the clouds render your vision useless . you then jump off the plane ,only to find that your parachute does not open fully,in mid air.

this time,i must make sure i pack my parachute properly cos my previous crash will not prepare me for another one.

Were the clouds of smoke from the fireworks supposed to add to some kind of special effect? o.0

So many genres of metal....

Heavy Metal: The first form of metal. Known for loud distorted guitar riffs and long solos.

Thrash Metal: High speed riffs combined with loud percussive drums. Includes such bands as Metallic, Nevermore, etc.

Death Metal: Again, uses distorted guitar riffs. It also uses either high pitched screams or growls, and morbid lyrics. Drums contain blast beats. Examples are Death, Morbid Angel etc.

Power Metal: Similar to speed metal, often characterized by video-game-ish guitar sounds. Bands include Firewind, Kamelot

Speed Metal: Draws much influence from early metal bands, but basically just faster. Motorhead is a classic example.

Prog Metal: If you know what progressive rock is (which I'm sure you do) it's basically progressive rock combined with a metal sound. Harder riffs, etc. Opeth is a classic example.

Metalcore: Not technically metal, but draws influence from post-hardcore and heavy metal. Examples are Bullet for My Valentine which is not considered metal, and Lamb of God which is considered metal.

Deathcore: Combination of Metalcore and Death metal. Generally known for extreme vocals such as pig squealing, etc. Job for a Cowboy is Deathcore.

Sludge Metal: Combines Doom Metal and hardcore punk. Isis is a good example. Or The Ocean.

Doom Metal: Slow tempos combined with low-tuned guitars. Black Sabbath is often considered Doom.

Stoner Metal: Again fairly slow tempos with low tuned guitars that is very bass heavy. Kyuss is the first stoner metal band. Stoner, Doom, and Sludge are very closely related.

Mathcore: Two types of mathcore- Techincal metalcore, or progressive metalcore. Basically just really frekin hard technical metal. Bands include Protest the Hero and Embrace the End.

Technical Death Metal: Death Metal that is very technical. Often is extremely fast, and guitarists are always wicked talented. Bands include Origin and Decapitated.

Melodic Death Metal: Death Metal that features melodies that are very clear. Combines the melodies of heavy metal with the vocals of death metal. Bands include In Flames and Norther.

Black Metal: Uses high tuned guitars and shrieking vocals. Often has anti-christian lyrics. Examples are Cradle of Filth and Enslaved.

Symphonic Metal: Metal that uses classical elements, similar to what a symphony would use. Bands include Nightwish and Epica.

Goth Metal: Combines the aggression and sometimes speed of heavy metal with the darkness of gothic rock. Evanescense is often considered goth metal.

Industrial Metal: Uses repetitive guitar riffs with synthesizer often. Very boring IMO. Bands include Fear Factory.

power metal =D

you must be wondering,why did my brother's friend's girlfriend come to my brother's house(which is oso my house)?

well a few mths ago my brother went to my brother's friend's house in japan to stay.then my brother's friend's girlfriend came to singapore to play so my brother wanted to return the favour and....well ....

a few days i was watching a documentary on the history channel

it was talking about albert einstein

turns out he took forever(8 years?) to come up with the general relativity equation

with general relativity,newton's second law f=ma was well,wrong.

turns out that your mass and time increases(by a bit) when you are moving at fast speeds

sigh

thursday -SYF closing ceremony at esplanade

saturday-chinese middle school concert at NAFA(thanks stephanie for the typo error,i was thinking about my 2.4km run this tuesday)

today-SYCO concert at botanic gardens

the > by the chinese middle school orchestra was great....and coupled with the singing,i felt like i was in heaven.i heard the song at the esplanade first,and i was lucky enough to be able to hear it again at NAPFA.when you hear the song,you feel like an angel floating freely in heaven.....and there was also this soloist who unleashed a bout of merciless strumming on the pipa in shi mian mai fu,at certain points of time you would really worry that one,if not all,of the strings were going to break.but hey,she got the most flowers,must have been a pro . 3 bucks for the concert was rather satisfying...

last week had 7-8 tests....
this week got 3 spa skill 3s......this is what you get when you are a triple science student....spa spa and more spa.why can't we get the spa where you sit in a bathtub and have rose petals floating around you? instead we have to handle chemicals and smell that replusive ammonia gas and roast in front of a bunsen burner and scorch a crucible which is most likely to crack and waste your time heating the magnesium ribbon in the first place .

but,in the name of education,hardship shall be borne and knowledge shall be earned!

shall go into a concert curfew mode....

i think its time i penned(or should i say keyboard-ed this down)

it has been bugging me for quite some time and i have been getting restless nights

as some of you would have known,i have decided to pull out of the performance on 30th of july

at first i was reluctant to go for practices because my academics was taking a fall into the gorges.i told myself(about 1-2mths before SYF) that SYF was the final straw,then i will concentrate on O levels.

but the smell of the durian was very alluring for me.on top of that,i kinda missed everyone.missed the cds.missed the suona platform.missed my juniors,my comrades,my instructor .missed the ever so rounded man on the stool....

but i have decided to put my academics first.cos now my skills is like *flips dictionary to find a word to describe how lousy my skills is* ....those who went on tuesday should know.

dun talk about spamming practices at pasir ris park,even attending practices is a problem.

this brings me to the next point....

my falling academics means unhappy parents...and unhappy parents mean....well ,go figure

i am feeling very stretched now...not because i am growing fatter,but because i am torn between two ends. CO and academics .

i dun wan to end up in a situation where its liang tou bu dui an.

i am sick of making excuses for doing badly in academics,then making more excuses to pon practices to make up for academics.

this vicious cycle has really taken a toll on me.

i wish NASCO the best on the 30th of july.and i also heard that they have found ding lao shi's old student from nas to assist NASCO(and replace me).best of luck to that person also.don't break my suona ok(just joking =P)

2009-07-14T23:05:00.000+08:00

everything is beyond my control now...

today when for 1 hour of dazu after english test,my performance was....well,worse than the 1st time i reharsed for tapestry.looks like its up to lok yong now(like SYF)

sorry guys,i have let you all down

2009-07-10T20:18:00.003+08:00

my day can't get any worse

stupid alarm which was right above me suddenly ring during the SS test,not to mention that before that,there were some -Eat finish rice nothing better to do- ppl outside my class talking and laughing as if a solar storm is going to hit Earth tmr.

the alarm was bloody loud and i was right below* it...then i suddenly remembered i had a pair of ear plugs in my suona pouch(1 year+ nvr use liao) so i used it.well,it didn't help much

went back home,tot that i could relax.but i puked into the dustbin cos i probably ate too much of burger king....the onion rings probably grossed me out and i was feeling bloated...and no,i am not bulimic and i dun stuff myself

then took out the trash,then went to start maple

15mins into maple,the lightbulb in room blew and the whole house was plunged into darkness

well,i am afraid of the dark =X .i took my handphone and used to light to navigate my way around.then i suddenly remembered that in physics,it said that if a light blew out,other electrical appliances would still work,so i turned on my tv and tried looking for the emergency torchlight.GREAT,couldn't find it.so i went to the MCB(miniture circuit breaker) and flipped the switch,i couldn't rly rmb ehat mr lee said about turn this off or turning that on ...so i just turned off my room's light(the one that blew) and powered everything back up.

before i could cahnge the lightbulb,the newspaper man came and i had to use my own money to pay for the newspaper.

5mins after i was done with the newspaper man,my brother came back home and i had to open the door for him.

great day
