hullo. school life is slightly better now since i've started opening my mouth to talk more instead of just being a mute. most of the time i have to start the ball rolling or else it would spell silence for the whole damn day. ok... about school today, THURSDAY. first lesson of the day was ACADEMIC WRITING. it's very social studies-like type of lesson. and this class is the most headache of the rest. because it is actually something like studying. something most of us detest like hell. class supposed to start at 1pm. but at 1pm, i JUST reached the bustop outside PS. i swore i left the house at least ONE hour before school. and now i realised it actually takes about an hour and a half to reach school without being late. something i should realised a LONG time ago. so that can explain why im late everyday.
14 TOOK FOREVER. so i took 16 instead. stopped at another bustop directly in front of Suntec City. from that bustop i got a choice of about 3 buses to take to reach school. and NO buses were coming during the next 5 minutes. i couldnt take it anymore so i started to flag for a cab. first cab went past me like a blind bitch. i bet he was driving with his eyes closed. potential customer still dowan take. asshole. second cab came in the span of 20 seconds. fucking fast eh? and i GOT IT. oh ya forgot to mention this.. before leaving for school, i actually styled my hair very very nicely.. but i didnt know it was fucking raining outside and it destroyed my hair completely. it's not only that.. the shoes that i wore had holes at the sole part so water immediately seeped in. it feels like i'm walking around all barefooted. what a horrible start to the day.
i reached school at about 110pm. soggy shoes, flat hair, i entered the studio theatre. again.. all eyes on me. being "DA LATE ONE". lecturer didnt make much of a fuss. lucky. then shit! my group presentation was TODAY. and i havent even contributed a single idea to them, i thought the presentation was next week. but luckily our leader presented for us and i'm praying real hard they wouldnt question me about anything he just presented. so im lucky this time. got to know that choir class for me later is pushed back to 630pm. SIX THIRTY PM. i've got a crazy 4 and a half hour break! just what the hell am i gonna do. went over to the cofeeshop across school with ursula and shirley for lunch. it was raining real bad so the 3 of us shared shirley's tiny umbrella and we look retarded.
HAD my very first fusion practice session with them today. it was a damn last minute practice session and we're due to perform TOMORROW. the pianists themselves didnt bring their scoresheets. so they had to play on the spot whatever songs they had in mind and i had to just improvise along with my guitar. it was quite a major headache. our practice session was insufficient and im getting a little scared about performance tmr. then finally they all decided to drop the idea of performing tmr and try to postpone to the following week, and we'll see our luck about telling the teacher-in-charge tomorrow. hopefully we all dont get a ZERO.
choir class was alright. i actually liked singing. then by the time class ended, the sky was pitch black outside. it was 730pm already. the school lighting sucks. the pathways outside are so dimly lit that if any hot girl walks alone she could be a possible rape victim. saw isaac. talked to him a while and later i'm off with him and this group of people to have dinner together. went to CINE and ate at SUBWAY. actually i didnt liked the idea of eating at subway at first because they have a hell load of greens in their sandwiches and i hate most greens like HELL. then when it came to my turn to customize watevever shit i wanted in my MEATBALL sandwich i didnt add a single green in it. i feel so happy. just MEATBALLS, MAYO and pepper. and a side of 2 double chocolate chip cookies and a drink. $7.15, but it tastes like heaven. sat down and chit chat for a while. before leaving for hoome around 945pm.
WEDNESDAY. met muneh after school at around 2pm. it was a bad weather day. uncontrollable pouring. i used my file to cover my head while i run across roads. flattened my hair like a pancake. saw many SKSS students at ps. a little weird. went to play POOL at peace center. the score for today is 4-2 and I WIN. arcaded a while before going back to Dhoby Ghaut MRT. then saw caroline and a shoe. went back to my place for CONSOLE GAMING TIME. but my fucking console is giving me problems. how it pisses me off. but we still got to play after letting it rest for some time.
I WANT SLIGHTLY WAVY HAIR.
ok i have to sleep soon la. it's been a long day. good night.
with every appearance by you, blinding my eyes,
i can hardly remember the last time i felt like i do
you're just an angel in disguise

hullo. life has been quite shitty these days. i'll elaborate further in my later part of this entry. just didnt have the mood to update for the past few days. now's a tuesday already. havent updated for at least 2 days. shall blog on the better stuff first, so i could keep my mood at least up for some time at least.
SUNDAY. presented my music teacher with a Cherry Ripe chocolate bar bought all the way from aussie. the packaging of this chocolate bar makes it look like as if it tastes damn nice la. my mother placed it in my file alongside with my music notes and reminded me like hell NOT TO "ACCIDENTALLY" EAT IT. it was quite a temptation for me la. but i'm kind-hearted... so i resisted temptation and gave it to my teacher.
Then after music class i went to my japanese language center to pass my form to them. surprisingly the counter staff didnt seem to be working that day and weirdly, my teacher herself was there, and she assisted me. then i realised, shit! i should have given her some stuff from aussie. hopefully next week i'll pass her some goodies, provided there are actually some left. the rainbow cookie is still fresh and untouched, its wrapper firmly sealed. the marshmallow is also unopened and left rotting in the fridge. i brought the marshmallows to school and NOBODY wanted to try it -_- so i felt like an idiot for bringing it. so after submitting my form, i left for home. boring day la.
MONDAY. i need not blog anythign about school. some stuff about that i'll explain in the later paragraphs. then met muneh around evening time so he could pass me my schoolbook that he went home with. As the night was still young, i decided to play pool but the bitch didnt have money(i assume he isnt lying but i think he is anyway) so we just went back home. muneh is a bad liar. you know, lying convincingly also needs skill and YOU DONT HAVE IT. i can give a few tips on how to tell lie convicingly. firstly, try to refrain from smiling. if better, try to remain expressionless. speak in your natural tone of your voice. DONT LAUGH.(duh) one slight chuckle that escapes from your mouth ruins everything. and lastly, prepare to cover up certain stuff you're lying about. leave some evidence and you're an idiot. like a good example is this, muneh says, "i got no money......." then later we suggested having dinner, muneh magically whips out a $10 bill from his wallet. no money huh?
mom bought me this newly addictive game for my xbox 360. and what the fuck? about 20 minutes into the gameplay, the game hung. and it happens that my console might be facing a severe problem. after a few tries, the game loaded back again smoothly but i'm still not convinced that the problem is over yet. just when i thought i could relieve myself of some stress from some problems in my life. it actually added on more to it.
the new game. on the extreme right bottom corner there is sign saying "NOT TO BE SOLD TO ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18" hahah. due to its gorey and explicit nature.
ok. on to the gloomy part of today's entry. bear with it, it may some like some letter to Aunt Agony. and again, i have friendship issues in school. and it totally bothers me. so sad that i cant really socialize that well in school i have to resort to following a clique of girls around. one thing bad, they dont seem to be talkign to me. it's like im a mute person following them around. and today, they went out for the first half of the school day i presume they had lunch and i'm stuck being alone in school, they just didnt invite me. i called one of them on the phone, she didnt pick up and neither did she return my call. i felt a little disturbed. i asked the similar girl a harmless school-related question by sms she didnt reply me either. wondering if they have something against me. and finally the thing that bothers me most. this girl in the group is inviting people to somewhere to celebrate her birthday i presume(which was in 2 weeks' time), 2 weeks in advance, and she totally ignored me. and i was directly behind her,(she did this invitation thing during lecture) and the guy beside me got invited. so, to summarise this all up, i felt like a total outcast in this group. being in it from the start, not even getting a simple invitation like this. this feeling is so fucked up. i even got them chocolates from aussie and this is what kind of response i get. because of this i've been rather gloomy in the group. not saying a single word. and this greatly affects my life in school. sometimes i feel like not even coming to school. but obviously i wouldnt let the expensive fees that my parents are paying for go to waste so i'm still attending my classes as usual. but your friends play really important roles into making your school life enjoyable and now THIS has to happen. Am i thinking too much or should i really leave this group to ease my feelings?
And someday, i promise i'll be gone
and someday, i might even sing this song to you
and i was crying alone at night
and i was wasting all of my life just thinking of you

hello. havent been updating again. the usual reasons la. i'm updating now as i wouldnt wanna procrastinate further. and i feel like turing in early today because for the entire past week i've been sleeping late like hell. picture yourself sleeping at 5am when school starts like 9am. that's me. FRIDAY. need i say much about my punctuality in school? no need rite. i'm LATE. duh. well, i was quite an idiot on friday la. i thought the first class of the day started at 1pm. i reached school around 120pm. and i didnt feel like entering the auditorium as i dont wanna relive the sheepish feeling of having a thousand eyes on me again. so i just walked around the school for some time. then i saw some of the people loitering outside of the auditorium. asked them what time class started. they said class started a few minutes ago only. wtf. so class actually started at 130pm that day. so, i'm NOT LATE when i came into school today! but.. by the time i entered the auditorium, it was 150pm already -_- . what difference does it make.
skip talking about what happened in school, it'll bore everyone. fast forward to the ending of the school day : ) thankfully my last class wasnt scheduled to start at 530pm, or else i would have to go back at 7pm. i hate that. took 14 back to Dhoby Ghaut MRT. this is probably the most annoying part of the day. it was a long and tiring day at all. when the bus arrived, it was like a gift from heaven. because the weather was downright humid and EVERYBODY rushed up the bus hoping to feel heaven's winds(aircon). but this is where everybody got take aback. the air inside the bus was actually HOTTER than it was outside. and the bus broke down THRICE in the middle of the road. SBS bus standards are getting crappier.
finally alighted and got to feel REAl aircon at Dhoby Ghaut MRT. i was about to go home when muneh called and he was actually like a few meters away from me. since i got nothing to do, i followed him to TAKA for something job-related. heard he got FIRED after 2 days of work. hAHAHAHAHAH. ok. then went to play pool at the same place again. muneh is one hell of a lucky bastard. when i got the better hand for most of the games we played, i happen to lose just because the fucking cue ball went in when i got the 8 ball perfectly in. there is a first time for everything. it's just not my day. and bitch muneh, you OWE me one full pool game, i will remember this forever.
then went back home, muneh followed. did the usual shit anyone would do if they have friends over their own respective places. find something entertaining to do to pass time of course. he played my new 360 demo. DEAD RISING. i CANT WAIT till next monday, i'll be getting my FULL copy of the game. this game is the best stress-reliever ever. just by playing the demo, i got a taste of how DAMN fun it can be. obviously girls dont appreciate the art of console gaming. so sad. it's always a guy thing. that's friday for you. btw, that idiot went home with my book in his bag. I WANT MY BOOK BACK.
SATURDAY.
I'm actually EARLY for japanese class today! in fact, earlier by almost 20 minutes. i still have the time to go to the bread store below to buy something to fill my stomach. bought 2 donuts and some pastry with fruits on it. i have a sudden infatuation for any bread or pastry now. BREADTALK rocks. class was just as fun as like any other day. i paid for my registration for JLPT(japanese language proficiency test) today. it's a bit scary la, i read through the tiny booklet. i'll be prepared for this. december 3rd, here i come. today was a VERY boring day, i went home immediately after class. how boring can it get. just a little while more, i'll be sleeping soundly on my bed. good night.
JLPT booklet.
and there goes my heart
just not in one piece like it was in the past
and im here to sing
about the things that mattered
about the things that made us feel alive
the things that kept you by my side when i was down

hello. again, i didnt update. im either lazy or busy la. but at least, im trying to force myself to blog, and hopefully, if my mood is good, you'll see me posting some or even better, all of the pictures taken in aussie. and i'm never gonna appear in every of them. i just saw the photo album, taken by my sister's camera, and yes, my hair looks like crap when it's even straighter. fuck. i wanna burn every picture with me inside. so... my last update was on MONDAY, and now's a thursday, more of early Friday already because the time is now 12:13am. with my goldfish memory, i forgot about what happened on tuesday and wednesday, so i'm gonna skip blogging on those parts. anyway i think those days were just like any other school day la. one thing irritating me now is my hair. i didnt cut for the past 2 months, i got what i wanted, a longer fringe. but it is beginning to irritate me, but at the same time, i dont wanna cut it short like LAST TIME. so i'll try to fix that problem soon la, wax helps. hopefully. and please, let me grow longer sides! and thicker a little. i hate thin hair like hell now, though they can be styled easier.
THURSDAY.
i was actually confident that i wont be late for school today. woke up at 1115am. school starts at 1pm. somehow, i didnt plan my time well, so i ended up wasting lots of precious time, and eventually being LATE for school again. fuck. somebody slap me please. thankfully the lecturer of the first class of day didnt make a big fuss out of it, so i just sheepishly rushed up the row of seats and sat near the usual people. something i dislike about the very first class of the day. we were put into randomly selected groups of 10 people each, and the lecturer wanted us to work with totally different people whom we do not know, my group had exactly that. i dont think i could socialize well la. with all these new faces i never seen before. it's just the beginning. and second thing i'm pissed off with is my own results from the very first assigment. i FAILED. and i'm disapppointed with myself, duh. not that i'm dumb but it's also my fault, it's plain last minute work, with almost no research done. but i felt a litttttle better when i got to know that my other friends actually scored lower than me, or have same grades. but that obviously isnt something to be happy about.
after first class, we had a bloody long break of 3 and a half hours. i followed the usual group out to eat, mostly consisting of girls. somehow, today, i felt like an outcast in the group. like the girls were busy in their chitchat sessions, i was just walking alone at the side. seriously, i felt really bored. nobody talked to me : ( then elim asked whether i was alright. at least she was kind. cabbed to Beach road to eat, wendy's suggestion. it was damn cheap la. $3. bought chicken rice. not exactly what i have in mind to eat, but since i was too lazy to check out other stalls further, i just bought it. i was quite a dishonest bastard today. i ordered some chocolate shake drink, happily drank and finished it, walked out of the area, then i forgot to paY!! by the time i realised, i was already in the cab, going to Marina Square.
we had 2 suggestions. either play bowling or pool. after some negotiations, bowling was out and we went to play pool instead. and this time, the girls actually played. the last time, they only watched, maybe because they were afraid since it was a male-dominated environment. well now, the tables are turned. most of them were kinda new to the game, but who cares about skill, it's all about fun. left the pool place for school, and we were late. hahah. teacher didnt cared much anyway.
i think one girl in school hates me already. maybe i'm too irritating? i left my class earlier today because i had make up japanese classes. and again, i'm late. class starts at 730pm and i came almost at 8pm. this time, i was taught by YAMANE SENSEI, and she's also good, fun and humurous too. that explains why i love studying japanese. as usual, i'm the youngest guy around. the other people around are all office people. at the end of the class, i took a photo with the whole class. had no idea why i'm actually appearing in that photo, because i'm not originally from that class. because that lesson was the last for them. finished class ar 10pm, and almost ALL the foodstores were closed, and i'm a starving bitch. finally spotted BREADTALK. and APPLE WERM is da thang. fucking nice piece of dough. so that's THURSDAY for you.
FINALLY. the time has come. PICTURES BELOW. i'm not uploading every single picture since i'll die by then. first up.. CARRINGTON STREET, SA. first night in ADELAIDE.
RAINBOW COOKIE!
second day. FONDUE dessert.
look at how ugly my hair can be. unstyled. that dude besides me speaks real fluent japanese. i admire...
DAY THREE. just a regular street view, taken beside the bustop, while waiting for the bus. oh ya, the bus services there are F-R-E-E.
Streets outside of RUNDLE MALL.
MCdonalds. my sister and mom's at the counter.
This is where i reside during my short stay there.
TRIPLE CHEESEBURGER FROM MCDONALDS. it's tastes damn good.
Just bored so i decided to take picture of my small collection of Soft Toys bought on that day.
This is my temporary bedroom.
Dessert for dinner that night. fruits fruits fruits. fresh from central market.
My Pancakes meal. supper for my LAST NIGHT there. i'm so sad la.
The last picture. PANCAKES HOUSE. open 24/7. the quality of food there, i wont need to explain much. AWESOME.
argh. that was hell tiring uploading the pictures. i have school tomorrow, and as usual, i think i'll be late anyway. so im gonna shower and sleep ASAP. good night.
And if it's a hero you want,
I can save you, just stay here.
Your whispers are pricess.
Your breath, it is dear
so please stay near.

i know i havent been updating lately. well, first thing is, i'm back from aussie! i've taken quite a number of horrible-qualitied pictures on my phone but i'm kinda tired to upload them now at the moment. most likely i'll be uploading the pictures on a separate entry someday that i dont feel lazy. anyway, i'm blogging now on a monday night, and i just returned home from school about 10 minutes ago. fucking tired. so for the next couple of paragraphs i'll roughly do a review of how my life in the last few days in australia was. and yes, Adelaide is a sweet place. i'm missing the time i had there already : (
and yes, i brought back stuff from aussie. mostly chocolates, really nice ones i swear, bought from a shop called Darrell Leah. and a couple of soft toys, mostly consisting of koalas and kangaroos. they're not for me anyway. and to me, i think brunettes are so much hotter than blondes. eye candy was almost everywhere, from shops to the streets of town.
ADELAIDE, DAY TWO.
mom woke me up in the morning. i was wondering for what the hell. it's friggin 10am. then she reminded me, it was my sister's graduation ceremony later. oh, so i went to shower. and this is the first time i'm showering in aussie, im not a caveman k, just unlucky that yesterday, the day i touched down in Adelaide, my sister's house's water heater was facing some kind of problem, so the water was ICY cold and i mean it. it was suicide to bathe in water that temperature. so i just slept like that, without bathing for a full day. anyway the weather there is really cold, so i didnt sweat at all so it's quite acceptable. sister's friend drove us to the University there. it was a kinda grand event. but i almost fell asleep during the ceremony. the speech was damn long and draggy and i had to wait at least 270 years before my sister comes out to take her cert. and boy, does she look fat on stage.
almost got lost in the caucasian-filled crowds along the hallway where my sister was waiting at the other end. saw one of my sister's friends, this japanese girl named Yumi i think, she graduated too. and i think she's attractive. hahah. i didnt put on any wax at all that day so my hair was DAMN awful. and worst still, i got forced by my mom to take a pic with the whole family, those type of pictures where u pay to be taken professionally and get framed on the wall type. fuck that photo la i hate it. i think im going to take it off the wall the day my mom hangs it. we took a total of 3 photos, and i think that is about AUS$135. expensive shit.
before we knew it, it was nightfall already. and one thing i dont like more about that, the temperatures are gona drop. it is colder at night. and somemore, the weather is windy, tormented me more. i had 3 shirts on that day. and im still shivering. btw, nightfall there is about 530pm, singapore time. watched around the streets and finally settling at some thai restaurant for dinner. the food was acceptable la, nothing special. then after that, we split up into two groups to go to a far side of Adelaide for dessert. one group took the car, and the other group, which included me, took the railway tram. i wanted to take it anyway, something i dont see in singapore. paid AUS$3.80 for a trip, to and fro. the place we went to was some dessert store specialising in chocolate stuff. and that's in Glenelg. weird name for a place i know.
DESSERT.
had CHOCOLATE FONDUE for the first time in my life. FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING NICE. it costs AUS$12.50 for the set i ordered. and it's meant for 2 people. but i had it ALL TO MYSELF! the chocolate is just soooo rich la. took the tram back and it was a 30minute trip. from the last stop we alighted, i walked home with my sister's roommate. she was quite nice, when we're almost close to home, i said i was hungry and she gave me 5 bucks to go to MOBIL nearby to grab a late night snack. bought a frozen beef and cheese pie. then i noticed something really nice while waiting at the traffic light. there is actually steam or whatever you call it coming out of my nostrils! just shows how bloody cold it is there during night time. got home and enjoyed my supper snack. and it tasted damn good.
ADELAIDE, DAY THREE.
mom woke me up hell early again. fuck la, what's the rush this time?! it was shopping day today, and i got to know that almost all the shops at the mall close at about 530pm. fucking early rite? so i showered and left the house for central market first at 10am. about a 10 minute walk from home. it was a saturday morning la. the central market is something similar to the wet market we have back here in singapore, but over there, it seemed a little higher class, and not dirty like fuck. there are way better stuff on sale there too. i didnt stay for long to watch them shop for groceries, i wandered a little on my own and bought a morning snack. 3 cheese breadsticks from the breadstore. and the cashier was a brunette : D then we moved further in and it was kinda like the chinatown of Adelaide. seeing many chinese people, feels like im in singapore again. bought the soft toys from this store run by a chinese family. the storekeeper had this damn funny english accent. it wouldnt be funny if i typed out the way he spoke here, i have to imitate it myself in real life so it could actually be funny.
And now, we're off for some real shopping. to Rundle mall that is. the town area. bought the chocs at Darrell Leah's first then walked in further. and i dont understand why, they are actually going into the supermarket for somemore grocery shopping when we did that like some time earlier? i just lazily followed. tagging behind them like pikachu. my main motive was to check out the video game store down the street. but sadly, i had to follow them around first. my sister was more like shopping for herself, buying new tables and cabinets for her room. and ya, one thing about the tourists here around Rundle Mall. most of them are japanese. and standing on the middle of street, they were MANY japanese tourists around. so much that it suddenly feels like im more in Tokyo than Adelaide. hahha, i wished. that's my next dream destination. hopefully. it was about 3pm, aussie time. our hands are full with so much groceries and shit. mobility with ease was an issue, so my dad sat down on the bench and rested so he looked over the items. me, my mom and sis went over to the video game store. EB GAMES : )
i was hoping to buy this new game for my xbox 360(which is turning to stone) but fuck, the staff told me that it wont there till september 1st. so sad, i walked out of the store empty handed. then my sister wanted to buy this cabinet or whatever for her room, so they asked to watch over the plastic bags. and so i did. fucking boring. sitting down in the middle of the street on a bench, staring at plastic bags.
they returned later and it's my dad's turn now to watch over the stuff. i went with mom again into the mall, for my sister wanna buy a gift, and i wanna buy a late lunch. went to the basement, and it was already around 4pm them, most shops are closing, most restaurants are dead empty. but the big M is still open. so i went in. Mcdonalds la. saw tourists again, this time, they're korean girls. looked at the menu, and i bought a TRIPLE CHEESEBURGER MEAL. hahah, once again, something you dont find back in sg. from that, we went home in a cab.
i'm still far from finishing the day. this is the last full day im spending on a foreign land, so i better make good use of it. went back home, sorted out several stuff and my sister cooked dinner for us. first time. i thought she was going to blow something up, but her meals actually taste quite decent. first time ever. after dinner, i went out ALONE, with my sister's friends. played pool at the University of Adelaide. the score was 3-1 and i'm leading : D before i could continue the next match, they invited me for a late supper, so i agreed. went to The Pancake House. and AGAIN, i saw a japanese couple inside. i ordered a pancake with chocolate cream and vanilla icecream topping, and it's heavenly. but not so heavenly on the pricetag, AUS$12.50 for ONE. got back to pool again, and the score was 3-2, i was beginning to get unlucky, but at the end of it all, i'm still the winner! they drove me back home at about 12am. it was a damn bloody good day la. i enjoyed it a lot.
ADELAIDE, FINAL DAY. (DAY FOUR)
this time, i woke up myself. oh, forgot to mention this on the very DAY ONE's entry, i slept in a room alone, all to myself, while my parents shared the room with my sis and they slept on the floor. i was feeling refreshed. showered, and didnt put on as much clothes as before. i wanted to go to the nearby mart to get one final thing. the rainbow cookies. not exactly a cookie la, some sort of a mini pie, but i'll name it rainbow cookie anyway. and i went alone. bought along 4 soft nougat snacks too. they're damn good. by 11am, the cab was waiting for us outside. we're off to the airport. OH YA! the cab driver was a NIGGA. i was trying VERY HARD not to laugh or utter that WORD. HAHAH. and great, reached the airport to know that we're late for our flight. ran around like idiots as we couldnt find the entrance to gate 20, which was our gate la. after much stress, we found ourselves sitting comfortably in our seats, we're heading home. and in front of me, there were a big number of japanese students : ) beautiful people. and first time again, i didnt feel sleepy throughout the entire flight, i was actually awake for 6 full hours. because i found that there was POKEMON SILVER to be played on the KRISWORLD. so i got realllllly engrossed in pokemon until almost skipping my in-flight meals. hahah. alright, that's about it. i certainly miss australia. it was a very memorable experience being there.
to live and die by our own rules
despite the fact that i'm a fool
i'm almost alive, i need you to try,
and save me
it's okay that i'm dying
but i need to survive, tonight, tonight...

hullo. greetings from adelaide. shall cover some stuff about today and some others. i'm using my sister's laptop now as my laptop cant connect to the fucking internet. duno whats with the wireless network here in this aussie house la. bitch. bias against Macintosh desktops.
WEDNESDAY afternoon. approximately 12 hours from departure. i went to school to join my so called new fusion group. so-called because i have yet to know whether im permanently inside or not. but heck, i still join in that day and try get something done at least. one thing for sure, i really dont wanna go back to the old group. i just feel that i cant do anything in that other group.i'll hope hard that i could make it into the new group. after fusion practice, went to dhoby ghaut with shirley and wendy in a cab. but it's free la, shirley paid. ate the usual shit at PS, slacked around carrefour for a while and shirley and her friend left us, think she has her piano classes.
me and wendy had nothing in mind to do, so we just window-shopped for a while and made an impromptu decision to watch a movie. so we watched CLICK that day. and i really like that show. nice blend of emotional and extremely funny parts. a good catch for any of you who havent watched it yet. go watch before it disappears from the theatres for good. went back home and did some last minute packing. as well as to double check, what stuff i forgot to bring and whatsoever. 915pm. 2 hours and 40 minutes from departure, we left the house in a cab to Terminal 2.
muneh is being a bitch again. say can go, then later say sorry cannot go, then later say can go again. MAKE UP UR MIND LA! he was there la, but unexpectedly, with his parents. you know how uneasy i am with friend's parents around. i just dont like it. the awkward feeling. chatted for a while before im off to the departure hall. and what a bad start to a flight, i was late for the check in. the rest of the family already went in except me, so my mother scolded me like hell on the phone. security was extremely tight. they wouldnt let me board the plane until they perform an X-RAY on my IPOD.
ON DA PLANE.
some stewardesses were hot. hahahh. thats the first thing i noticed. it was a pleasant flying trip. tip-top service, tasty food, and nice movies to watch. i watched MISSION IMPOSSBILE 4. but one thing i dislike about economy class. the seats being unable to lay flat down, which makes sleeping on flights extremely uncomfortable. the flight was 6 hours long. i slept about 2 hours after my movie and just in time for breakfast. the view outside was breath-taking la, in the last hour of the trip. i could see the sky literally transform, from pitch black to a mixture of crimson-gold. it was nice. touched down Adelaide at about 8am, adelaide time, and that would make it 630am, singapore time. where the most of you would most probably be rushing through breakfast, putting on school uniform, or pigging on the bed.
ADELAIDE, DAY ONE.
the first thing i noticed about the airport there. everything was very bright and WHITE. my eyes burn. the air temperature outside is 12 degrees. i thought that wasnt that cold but i take back my words immediately when i first step out of the airport. it's bitch COLD outside. even though i have 2 shirts on, the cold seeps through. plus,it's windy in the morning, adds on to the snowman factor. we got our cab and off to Caldwell Street, where my sister resides. and thats the part i hated most. i THOUGHT we were gonna stay in a hotel. but nooo, it's some apartment.
reached our destination. it wasnt as bad as i thought it to be. terrace house type of house and was beautifully constructed. the interior was sweet too. but it was freezing like hell though, i removed my shoes and stepped on the floor. FUCK LA! fucking ICE! and yes, thats with my ankle socks on, imagine the nightmare if i did it without socks on. the stairs leading up was carpeted, and the whole level above was carpeted, so it was great. my sister's room was a jungle. freaking messy. the first thing my mom did was nag. hahaha. served her right.
i so wanted to shower la. i have a head full of wax. then here comes the nightmare. the heater is busted. what the fuck. so i thought i could just shower with cold water instead, but after feeling the condition of the water, it was suicide. freaking ice. really no choice, so i just washed my hair only, to remove the wax and get some shampoo on. my head froze upon water contact. but good thing i still got the wax off. so my parents and sister went shopping while i slept in her room from 10am all the way till 5plus. i had no idea it was 5 plus while walking to the neighbouring restaurant for dinner. that's australia for me. sky turns dark from 5 onwards, and dark as in, night sky, not evening. and it's only freaking 5plus in the afternoon.
dinner was alright. i thought it was gonna suck. back in singapore, u walk into a restaurant and it's airconditioned, but here, i walk in greeted by a heater and it feels like heaven. i cannot tolerate the cold any longer outside. finished eating and my sister's kind friend sent us back in her car. but we didnt go home straight la. i suggested to go to the mart nearby so i could have some midnight munchies as i'm bound to have insomnia. my sister sux, she didnt wanna go, but after some persuation she finally decide to bring me there. and the night air, is chillier than day. the streets were dimly-lit and it was quite scary for a person to be walking alone at night. my father dressed like some hiphop star. he was wearing my sweatshirt, with a hood over his head and inside, he still wore a yellow beanie. fucking hilarious. i have a hiphop dad now.
reached the mart and i bought some rainbow cookie and a bag of tortilla chips. the mart has sooo much stuff that we cant find back in singapore. i'm going back there again soon to restock on items im gonna bring back for friends. on the way back, i saw something ugly. a freaking COCKROACH!!! inevitable la, it was near the dustbin. but one funy thing is, the cockroach is moving like a turtle. super slow. hahaha, maybe because it's cold out there. got back home and the rest of the family all turned in. freaking early la. only like 8plus, singapore time. so i took the chance to use my sister's laptop to go online and blog. ohya, i took some pictures today, but unfortunately, i'll only upload them when im back in singapore. because all of them are in my phone.
the time now here is about 12am. i still dont feel sleepy. i'll find something to do. today's review covered. tomorrow, most probably would be shopping day for me. since it's so retardedly cold. i'm gonna try pull off something. put on 5 shirts and see whether i still complain of cold. alright. good night.
somehow your words,
from the way i heard them, are haunting me
and the tasteless dreams that filled my nights
i may be sad, but i'm not weak
i'll always be waiting

realised i've neglected my blog for some time. my last post was probably last friday. for saturday, it was quite a shitty day. i woke up super late, 6pm, and realised that almost nobody was online. then i went to the esplanade's official website and it stated that there were fireworks to scheduled on that very night. i soooo wanted to go.. but nobody to accompany me so i dropped the idea immediately. staying at home sucks la.
sunday. another boring day. well, only in the day la it's quite boring. at night, it's a different story : )wont elaborate what happened that night. come monday, i woke up at 720am. my mother is a good liar. she told me it's 8am already. looked at the fucking clock and it's 715am. so i decided to sleep for the next 5 minutes and off to shower. i only had 2 fucking hours of sleep the night before. just couldnt sleep yet again la. so you could probably picture how tired i was then.
now to me, everyday is a bad hair day. i just couldnt be bothered to stand for hours styling my hair. so i just run my wax-filled fingers through my hair for a few times and went off. another reason is because i have only 5 minutes to do that or else i could miss a bus and start camping at the bustop again. oh ya, one more thing. when i woke up that monday morning, i felt sian to go school. because these 3 numbers came up to mind. "630" i finish at 630pm la that day thats why. it wouldnt be that bad if i started classes in the afternoon, but no, class starts at 9am.
first time ever. i reached the bustop at about 830am. waited about 10 minutes or so, the bus actually arrived and it was quite spacious inside. really miraculous. the past few Monday mornings were disastrous. and i reached school at about 850am. so i still got the time to walk around the campus, get a drink and quench my thirst. first class was AURAL. i sucked like hell at hearing. the teacher plays a few notes on the piano, and we are expected to know what he played and write it down in our manuscript books. i got my answers wrong about 94% of the time.
next lesson of the day was actually a class from last friday postponed to monday. it was directly after AURAL class so we had no break in between. it's the fusion workshop. about 6 groups played that day. and almost all of them churned out great stuff, except for maybe one group. and i have to be honest, i dislike my group. because i just cant play along to an idian flute. i heard about people leaving and joining new groups. i think i'm gonna try my luck someday and ask for a transfer to Justin's group. just hope that my present group members dont get pissed.
had some grace granted for the next lesson. had 1/2 an hour off so that we can fill our stomachs with something before the following lesson. fast forward to the last lesson of the day. something new, it was the first rhythm ensemble class of the semester. i had no idea what that class was about. and the first lesson was fun. it is basically world music la, which is those drums hitting stuff. ended class and went back home.
TODAY(tuesday), there was a thunderstorm at my place in the late morning. the thunder was so fucking loud that i could hear it even though i had music blasting my ears. the wind was damn strong also. my umbrella flew away from me duno how many times. i was 15 minutes late for the first thing of the day. the lunchtime concert. they invited this singer called Arlee Leonard, and she's REALLY good. her vocals are superb la. she dresssed like some gypsy though, hahah. it was the perfect performance for such a rainy day like this.
it was drizzling after the concert. and we had 2 hours break so i followed shirley and others to bugis to have our lunch. at the same bak kut teh place. and this time, i ate more than the last time, but sadly, some food is still wasted la. went back for a lecture till 530. watched one of Royston Tan's films, 15. that ahbeng show. it's rated M18 in theatres last year i think, but we're all around that age, so she(our lecturer) just showed us. this kind of stuff you can NEVER get to see in secondary schools hahah. after class, went to look for the programme head. he wasnt around. shit. so i went back home. i wanted to pass him a letter indicating the reason why i wont be in singapore for the next 2 days of school. so i'll probably drag my lazy self to school the next day just to pass him the letter, even though i have no classes that day.
took 14 with shirley and wendy back to a stop near dhoby ghaut MRT. wendy left us. and i went to starbucks with shirley to have a drink. ahhh. frapuccino rocks la. so nice. by 730pm we went our separate ways back. and now, im back home. and it's all coming so fast la. by tomorrow night, i'll be on a plane leaving for ausssie already. latest update from my mom, my flight's at 11pm. but i'll be in the airport at least 3 hours before departure.
i still have yet to pack my stuff. hahah. my mother's making noise already. all i heard is, it's gonna be cold and advice was to bring loads of long-sleeved clothes. i think im gonna miss those 2 days of school. FIRSTly, for some reason, i seem so interested in choir. which is on thursday. and i'll be missing out the fusion performance day on FRIDAY. shit la. and lastly, i'm gonna miss my friends. i'll be bringing my macbook over there, but i have no idea whether any kind soul would spare me a free wireless network to connect to. and ya, definitely gonna take pictures, and lastly, bring back sourvenirs for friends back home.
your hazel eyes paralyze my senses
cut me down to size defenceless
and i know it's too late but im still waiting
for the moment that i've been anticipating

hullo. forgot to blog the day before. which was.... on national day. on that patriotic morning,i painfully woke up at 9am, where the rest of the people whom i know would still be cuddling in the comfort of their beds, enjoying this rare oppurtunity to actually sleep longer than before. the reason why im waking up earlier than other people, because i had a make up guitar skills class on that day. and the following week, he wouldnt be in singapore so there would be no class on next wednesday.
and as usual. i was LATE. class was due to start at 11am. you all should know the reason why im late 90% of the time la. the fucking bus. sometimes i feel that there's really a need to write a letter of complaint to SBS. like im there usually about 1/2 hour before school starts, and the bus takes a minimum of 20 minutes to show up. fucking bitch. what pisses me off most is that, at the bustop where i waited in vain for the bus, other buses like for e.g. bus no. 7, came over 6 times in a short span of time. what the fuck is this?? to add more salt to the wound, once the bus arrives, the bus driver drives really turtle slow. but i have self control not to try to kill anyone.
something i'm a little worried about in school. every music foundation student would have a main study for their respective own instruments, and most of them by now(i think) would know who their own main study teachers are. but for me, it has been like 4 weeks of school already i still have no damn idea who my main study teacher is. so i havent even been to my very first main study class yet. i was told by my guitar skills teacher to go see some teacher to check out the namelist to see who im under. but i searched for her in vain these past few days. to no avail. she's not in school. so is the other guy.
guitar skills class this time was better. because at least i have a fucking guitar on my lap to play. unlike last week. fucking just sat there listening to the other guys playing. feeling left out. finished class and went to the coffeeshop across the road for my Brunch(breakfast+lunch). had 2 cheese pratas. then left the dudes to go CP to meet wei and muneh. today is the last day wei is staying in singapore. 2 months really went by just like that. how fucking fast.
reaChed wei's house later this afternoon for his farewell party. a rather slack party as i should call it. and as predicted, there are 2 separate cliques. the second clique went to play soccer while we stayed, watched the NDP parade on tv, and cooked some japanese crispy chicken wrapped in seaweed, and thats some good shit. a perfect party snack for the 5 of us. here comes the irritating part. we kept making fun of those generals or whoever u call them, those guys giving out commands, to the army people standing on the parade. we imagined, the cameraman trying to make the general laugh, while focusing the camera on his face on LIVE television. i pictured it in my mind, the general with a super stone stern face, suddenly laughing like that in front of national television. i bet he would get shot. then the singing part came, i think all of them were fucking lip synching la. and here comes my favourite parrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttt. the PLANES SOARING ACROSS THE SKIES! it has always been my childhood ambition to be a fighter pilot. but with the crappy eyesight i have now, that dream is shattered already la. and those planes are fucking quick as hell. one moment they were flying across the national stadium displaying an array of colorful works in the evening sky, and within the next 20 seconds, they flew above the house we're in. that shows how fucking small singapore is already.
so basically thats the first thing i've been anticipating for the whole NDP event. the next part would be the fireworks. but watching fireworks on live tv is plain stupid. had a second round of japanese crispy chicken. but some chicken parts are oddly cold. funny la. it was a slack party overall. muneh is an idiot. he came over to stay in the house for about 1 hour and the next thing we know he says, "i have to go already, curfew at 7pm."
CURFEW. HAHAH. muneh, ask yourself, how old are you already?! even 14 year olds have more freedom than you. after he left, we went up to watch wei's band play a full set in the dark. it was good. the perfect lighting for my eyes. it was getting late. i stayed on. there were only 3 of us left. he packed his luggage for taiwan. we went to have supper at JALAN KAYU. took a cab there since it's already fucking 130am. ate at the famous prata stall. 2 cheese pratas for me. it was heaven. wei went back in a cab. me and an idiot walked back home. the idiot lives in SK and he still followed me, what the hell. but good thing he followed, because on my way from jalan kayu to hougang ave 9, there was this fucking dark alley, and on the left was this row of empty houses, and there was absolute ZERO artificial lighting. plus it's the 7th month and the trees are creepy and i kept feeling spiderwebs. daanmn scary la. got home later.
THURSDAY. received a call in the morning from wei. i was actually gonna bid him farewell and send him off at the airport. but one major thing is keeping me from doing that. school stuff. fusion group. got news later that my fusion group thing was cancelled. what the.. i could have been there to send him off. probably the next time i'll see him would be next year. thats fucking long. goodbye wei. it's been a real nice time having you around here in your 2 month stay in singapore.
so i just did nothing on thursday la. secondary and primary schools have their school holidays. for me, 10th august marks my school's founder's day. so i had a holiday also. haha. had last minute plans later to have dinner at Jalan Kayu yet again, with muneh. the rival stall across the road serves good prata also. i feel it's like much worth my money. cheaper, yet bigger. with some pretty office ladies around sometimes. then went back to CP hoping to play some Time Crisis 4, but some idiots hogged the sets for eternity. so we decided to come back the next day,
FRIDAY. fusion at 1pm has been moved over to next monday. i left the house early to meet muneh at CP. played time crisis 4. played like crap. muneh said he was feeling "confident" today. but he used up 2 credits even before i died, and im only on one credit. hahah. "confident" la he. it was still early after we finished. 130pm. school starts only at 4pm for me. how slack. then went over to his friend's home as he described me there's ps2 and shit there to play. but in the end WHAT HAPPENED?! went to his friend's house just to sit down and watch his friends PLAY MAHJONG. i stared into blank space for 20 minutes before leaving and going to school. and was late again. 4minutes this time. im improving : )
i SWEAR. a shitload of students were at the bustop across school going back and 87% of them are taking bus number 14. and in that 87% includes me and my old ex classmates. we took 196 instead, swapped buses at Suntec to go to PS. had dinner at BK. a kid's meal again. but i dont know why they never give me a toy. ok la, then what happened after that i would be too tired to explain in detail and i think it would be boring also. today's also the last day that Esplanade is gonna hold a final fireworks session. i so wanna go. but nobody wanna go with me, so i didnt wanna live the boredom, i just went back home. and lastly, i had a freaking bad hair day. one side of my hair was dead STRAIGHT. and i think it looks freaky and ugly la today.
omg it's like 4am now. im still in the grip of INSOMNIA la. damnit. this room is getting really chilly. im only clad in boxers and i have yet to shower. oh ya, next wednesday night, im going off to australia. and again, bet none of you would miss me. i think im off to shower already. good nite.
so what happens when you lose control?
when the future has yet to start
and what happens when you're still in love,
but this just had to rip you apart
will there ever be an answer...
for when love is not enough
when the world must move on.
i never knew it would be this tough

anyone miss me? bet no one did. ok. these past few days my phone's inbox has been flooding with SMSes, and i think i didnt reply to almost all of them except for the latest ones. so sorry to all those people. especially one. you know, depression is fucked up. and during these past painful 7 days, some things i should learn to let go and move on. just like the past. i remember saying to myself, last time, there is no use crying over spilt milk. hopefully asap my dad gets what he wants. and as long as *** loves *** life, i'll be happy. i am willing to wait for as long as it takes.
surprised to actually see that im blogging? because i got **** a few hours back and i'm feeling a little better. so refreshing la. been a long time since i ever did that. and i know i havent been online for some time, clear your thoughts, i never blocked any of you, it's either im out, feeling too fucked to talk to anyone, or just dont feel like switching on the computer. ok enough emo talk. life at school has been quite good recently. despite me giving the long face 86% of the time, every lesson was alright. with the exception of lecture classes. the first lecture of the week, called, "technical theatre" is the perfect lullaby. plus the room we had this lecture in was really dimly lit so i guess almost everyone fell asleep.
currently now, the thing that gets everyone busy is our Fusion Workshop thingi. i think i explained this before in one of my ancient entries. the fusion workshop is basically the collaboration of all foundation music students, of different streams, split into groups, to perform together eventually. and my group consists of 2 guitars, 2 violins, 1 indian flute and 1 drummer. seriously, i dont think we can ever churn out one decent performance by next monday, which is our performance day. because our leader, is the guy playing the indian flute and he is the one who chooses the song we're playing. and our song sounds damn indian. bo bian. he's our leader we have to follow and try to get our respective instruments to play along to his flute. recently yesterday, my group mates told me to bring my guitar as there would be a fusion practice session, and it was on a damn monday morning. i brought the "rice sack" to school and found out that the practice session was CANCELLED. what the fuck.
oh ya, on monday, had the monday blues again, so i was fucking late for the first lesson. by 20 minutes. it's not my fault! blame bus number 14. they only have 2 of those buses in the whole of singapore. miss one 14, and you can pitch a tent at the bustop already. so i missed ONE. actually i didnt miss it.. it was overcrowded. and i have a damn guitarbag on me so i wouldnt wanna risk my guitar being broken into half if i squeezed myself into the crowd. after school on monday, i hanged out with colin and played pool at paradiz center for an hour or so, and won him 3-1 that day. im feeling so good la, although he got the better hand of the match, he had longer streaks than i do, his finishes at the end got crappy so that explains why i won haha. i'm actually doing all this to make myself feel better, i have to let go off all these stuff inside that make me feel so insecure so i did. went to Mccafe @ Lido to have a nice cold milkshake, have a little chat and left for home. and i slept at 7pm that day. allll the wayyyy till 11am on tuesday.
On the road to recovery. though i still have inevitable flashes of some stuff in my dreams, at least insomnia didnt come to me. stay away for as long ever. i woke up on tuesday morning feeling all refreshed. who wouldnt? freaking 15 hours of sleep! showered and became my usual vain self before school starts. then realised i was actually LATE again. i took a fucking cab to serangoon MRT. $5 gone just like that. actually it SHOULDNT be that expensive. the driver was faggot. he drove one bloody big round around hougang to get to serangoon. bitch. got off and found out that there were an unusual number of secondary school students loitering around the MRT station. it was only 12pm. i thought all of them were supposed to be studying now in school? shit i forgot, today is the eve of NATIONAL DAY.
i wasnt late for school today. : ) i cant believe i was late for the past 5 days. just hope that i wont get blacklisted by the teachers la. today, first thing of the day was our lunchtime concert. heard some experimental music performed right in our faces. and seriously, i dont really like it. if you put any normal average person into the lunchtime concert today, he or she is gonna say that the music is SHIT. because experimental music basically sounds like a big mess of sounds. and this is where one needs to learn about the appreciation of certain types of music. and you take any average cheena girl, lets say, from SENGKANG secondary. i bet all my money in my wallet, she would listen to mostly chinese songs, and some english and other types of music would be considered trash to her. i'm taking this in a light hearted manner and im not referring to anyone ah. so hope i dont offend anyone. probably she wouldnt even appreciate the type of music i listen to. a blend of experimental, rock, pop punk, pop rock and screamo.
after the concert we had a 2 hour break. so one of us decided to go to Old Airport road which is like, walking distance from school and so we did. bought $2 of wanton noodles. and it was FUCKING nice la. probably gonna be on my list of favourite places to eat out. after school, went to bugis to meet muneh and wei. we played pool. and as usual i played like shit. then we left for Esplanade to watch the fireworks. most of you probably think like, what's so good about fireworks anyway? they're just fireworks what? but i think they are pure eye candy la, and i can never get enough of them, because the last time i watched a fireworks showcase was like so long ago. the whole of esplanade and marina square combined had a fucking huge crowd of people. there was huge human traffic everywhere. originally we wanted to eat at MAKANSUTRA, but queueing up there takes eternity, so we went to the foodcourt up at MArina Square. there was no difference in queue levels there. waited 955years. and finally got a seat.
watched the fireworks from outside the window. we could still see la, but it's just not as beautiful as in the eyes of the people standing directly outside at the balcony. our view at first got blocked by a lot of big heads. then we moved on to the other side to catch a view for at least the next 2 minutes. once i ended, all the singaporeans rushed for the escalator down. went back home after that. but i parted with them to meet someone else later. only got home at about 1am. bought wanton noodle back and now am eating it. it's so nice.
tomorrow's NATIONAL DAY. you patriotic people are probably gonna wear red. MARI KITA.
and though it's a public holiday, i still have school on that day at 11am. some replacement class. alright. it's fucking 3am. i have yet to shower. good nite.
all i wish now, is for you to be happy with your life
i climbed this ladder for as high as i thought i would be, and getting to know this just made me fall all the way down
but i get up, fake a smile, and i start climbing again.
the more i feel devasted and felt like killing you, actually made me love you even more.
see the irony here?

it's one of those days again. i feel fucked. the world is like turning upside down. i force myself to sleep almost every night. the insomnia is nothing new i know, but it's just those fucking problems. i feel so insecure. i got to know my dad was jobless again. and somemore other external problems. and i hate it. everytime i try to sleep at night, they keep flashing through my mind. it was so different then when i used to have insomnia over tea overdose, and now there are actually some unresolved stuff coming back to haunt me. and there are some nights, and only recently, where tears fall. it has been a really long time since they last came out. crying over my own problems. boys do cry. i have been fucking moody lately and nowadays if im online sometimes, i wouldnt even reply or take a damn long time to reply. because i dont feel like talking to anyone. thankfully i have a blog to let out some feelings. but not all. some things will always remain bottled up. no way im revealing here. good night. i dont thiink i will ever be back to my usual happy blogging routine until the day i cheer up.

hullo. using my new macbook to type this entry. today was a fine day. the battery meter really drops damn fast la. maybe because im blasting music off itunes. and im reallllly careful about this laptop's cleanliness, i dont wanna see it dirty, it will piss me off. lucky it's made out of non-glossy material, or else it would be full of ugly fingerprint smudges. and the resolution is kinda a little too big on my eyes, all the words and icons are microscopic. i would have to bent forward to see every word with detail. alright la enough about laptop talk. almost becoming a routine, usually i dont have the mood to blog because i just came back around some time ago, about 11+ pm. i know it's quite late to come home around this hour for a normal school day la, but cant help it, went for a movie today. shall go into further detail in the later part of this entry. but then, suddenly, the need to blog comes, and i cant help it, so i just did.
about today... TUESDAY. i only got ONE thing for the whole day. which is the lunchtime concert. whhich is from 1 to 2pm. and i fucking overslept this morning. the same story la, not worth explaining as i would be repeating myself. the alarm clock story la. procrastination.. rushed singaporean style. reached the bustop and saw some lasalle people. at least i dont feel like the only late one. then the bus arrived around like 1252pm. im guarenteed to be late la. unless this is a magic schoolbus. like the cartoon, it flies around, filled with adventure-hungry kids. i reached outside the auditorium at about 115pm. was feeling a little scared la, you know, when u feel like being the only guy late, u open the door in midst of a performance inside, and for that moment, ALL THE EYES would be on you. so i just opened the door and walked in. omg, everyone stared at me and there were no fucking seats. so i hid at some secluded corner and sat down so i wont be so much of a distraction. when i came in, there was this guy playing the piano, and i missed the starting of his performance, he was the first guy, so at least i didnt miss anything much. as for today's concert, it was all about the piano. no need to say la, the later part, the girls, played really good. it was ear candy la. but the funny thing is, the concert was meant to last an hour, but it ended at 130pm. wtf, so i only came to school today for 15 minutes la.
went to the canteen with class guys. planning to go town today with youk, as i wanna buy my laptop bag, ate the school food. the fried rice was not bad la. but i still dont understand why i cant even finish one bloody plate myself. is my stomach really that small?? then waited for youk to get his student card. took fucking forever. i think we wasted like 1hour waiting for that guy who said he was "going to the canteen." and he NEVER appeared. so went to his place near ARt friend and got the card finally. then escaped to Cityhall to meet the other guys. went funan and took some time to get my bag. i want something reasonably cheap, and has the shock absorbant cloth, so if i accidentally drop my laptop, it wont kill. mom gave me $60 to buy the bag. so generous rite. and ya, the shock absorbant sponge is reallly fun to press. call me weird, but it's just damn nice to press la. saw one decent model, costing around 34 bucks, but one MAJOR flaw was the UGLY handle. destroyed everything. looks damn ahpek if i picture myself carrying it around. then go all the way down to 3rd floor to make my last few decisions, saw one really nice... EVERYTHING was black, and the sponge was great and thick. but when i turned it over, was a total nightmare. not a physical flaw, but a mental one. THE PRICETAG la. fucking $55. looked around a little more and settled for the 14inch bag. at a good $35, i got it. the bag was quite small and the lady gave me a GIGANTIC plastic bag, no choice but to look like an idiot for the rest of the day carrying it.
youk went to orchard, we went to dhoby ghaut. i feel a little sad for youk la, he's going all alone to orchard to enquire about this shop at fareast. i offered to accompany him along with wei and muneh but he humbly declined. then off to Cathay we went. to buy tickets for this movie, THE LAKEHOUSE. still had about 2 hours of spare time so we went to play pool nearby. i had some form at the start of the match, i won 2 matches straight, fair and square. then suddenly, muneh took out his watch and he HAD A FUCKING WINNING STREAK all the way. so i conclude that his watch was the strapped on bad luck charm. it was fun at first when i start winning, but not so fun later when i started hitting crappy shots. the final score today was, muneh : kai : wei, is 3 : 2 : 0. proceeded back to Cathay for the movie. a short movie review. i kinda liked this movie. any of u couples out there, it's best to watch this with ur respective gf's or bf's, a romantic show it is. well, this movie is about a LAKEHOUSE(duh), and this house was very special la. it was previously an owner of this girl named Kate, after she moved out, she put this letter into the mailbox. then on another scenario, here comes the weird part, it shows a scene where Keanu Reeves, was also at the lakehouse and the letterbox fucking moved by itself. he went to open it and saw the letter by kate. he wrote back a reply and dumped it into the box, and after sometime, he received a reply from her. dont understand anything? well, it is because, THEY are both from different time portals. keanu was in 2004, and kate was in 2006, this explains why they were both at the same location but unable to see each other. then after much letter exchanging, LOVE eventually blossomed. through a chain of events, kate got to learn that there was a reason why she never got to meet keanu reeve's character during one dinner meeting, because he DIED in an accident later in future. and THE WORST THING was, he died on Valentine's DAY. the part where she learnt that he was killed, it was fucking sad la. i didnt want the show to end like that, i hate unhappy endings.
ok la, i wouldnt load this entry with any more spoilers. boys and girls, quickly go watch! then sad thing for muneh, directly after the movie ended, he said he left his expensive watch at the pool place. went back there and it was GONE. then he was scared as hell. his mother gona kill him wat. was walking back to NEL then came across an arcade and saw TIME CRISIS 4 so we all played. damn fun la. someday when im independant and living alone, i would wish to fill my house with an arcade machine and a pooltable. then went home after that. and what the fuck? the time now is like beyond 1am and i still havent bathed ever since my return home and i have to wake up around 9am tomorrow for school. i have a strong feeling i would oversleep, but i simply cant la, the most anticipated lesson of the week tmr... GUITAR SKILLS class. ok i better be showering now and sleeping ASAP. good nite.
dont lift a finger
let me show you the only way to let this go
i'll hold you here until all the pain goes away
just keep that sweet heart of yours beating..
dont die on me now.
