hullo. since i got nothing to do now. i decided blog, even though i've got nothing much to blog about. now im doing pretty much nothing, just sitting in the comfort of aircon, half-naked since i sweated like hell earlier on.

FRIDAY.

thought i was going to be late FOR SURE, since i left home at a dangerous time of 1210pm. stupid bus came so late also. one thing i would really like the bus services in singapore to do is... install some sort of timer at every single bustop in singapore to notify everyone the estimated time of arrival for whatever bus coming up next. because certain bus arrivals are just so UNPREDICTABLE la. one moment, they arrive in packs, and the next thing you know, the interval between each bus is like 20 years.

ok. so 72ed to HOUGANG MRT. MRT-ed to dhoby ghaut. went to the bustop and sat at the usual flight of stiars to wait for the fucked up 14 to arrive. didnt realise i had been quite blind for some time.. i didnt notice shirley was like directly in my view, calling out for me. hahah, i finally realised after a while la. joined her and took 16 instead. that bus doesnt go directly to our school but it stops somewhere nearby so it actually makes us feel better when we're nearer our location.

finally reached school around 105pm, not as late as i expected. came into the auditorium only to see the respected groups still setting up their equipment which took quite a while. fusion today was just like any other fusion day. the good groups shine. after fusion, most of us were kinda free to go off since gay-malan class was not on. but i still stayed in school la, i had my MAIN study classes. kinda placing like the very first brick of my almost-zero technical guitar knowledge. class was good. then the other people were booking the room for gay-malan practice as the exams were like TWO WEEKS from now. wtf man, fucking hell quick. i joined in to practice too.

627pm.

finally, we ended practice session. i really couldnt stand it anymore. sitting cross-legged for almost FOUR hours. most of the group dispersed to go back home, but i still stayed in school for a little while more, for JAZZ NIGHT. some gig held at the amphitheatre which is directly behind the canteen. seated alone watching from the canteen itself. stayed for somewhat 20 minutes before booting off. my stomach was growling like hell la. before leaving, i didnt like what i saw. there was this fat lady eating fresh pizza in front of me. fucking temptation for me to steal one slice of the full pizza on the table beside her since she wasnt looking at it most of the time. hahah but no, i'm a good man.

got home around 840pm. so i'm been in school from 1-730pm. put down my rock-heavy guitar bag, eat an apple, rested a while and left the house again. went out again la, since the night's young. did the usual thang. and returning home at 1am later. another great night : )

SATURDAY(TODAY)

i didnt set the alarm clock the night before knowing that my mom was home, so i was kinda expecting her to be my alarm clock but i was wrong la. was in such a deep, refreshing sleep, not until releasing that it was frigging TWELVE in the afternoon already. did my the usual stuff in the morning only at twice the speed. but it didnt help much, i was 10 minutes late for class. cheryl-san beside me was nice today, she offered me a salmon sushi. haha. ate it, and it was OISHII. then she furthermore shared with us this japanese snack which looked like a thin, pink piece of styrofoam board. and it tasted a little weird. haha.

then sensei told us that we're gonna have a test next week, which was supposedly, "not difficult" i doubt that hahah, since japanese is MUZUKASHII(hard). scanned through the piece of paper which indicated the lessons we're having from now till the end of december. by december, im starting my first INTERMEDIATE level jap class, so happy la, getting to reach higher levels. but i still worry like hell for my upcoming JLPT exam.

shiken mae ni, oinori o shinakerebanarimasen

the weather today was cooling, had a bad start of the since it was kinda pouring, but when i got back home , it was alright. just cloudy skies. got home around 6pm, and had nothing much to do la. just waited a while for dinner.

recently, yesterday, i virtually owned my copy of SAOSIN's first full length. back to SaoFest again just like last time. and i'll give the album a score of 8.6/10 it got me hooked. but since i'm a loyal fan, i'll try my best to get a personal copy of the original album itself, hopefully if they'll bring them in. the limited edited one bundled with the band's signatures and DVD sounds sweet enough.

2 hours ago, went to JALAN KAYU, around 10pm, to tabao some cheese pratas back. bought 3, but it's all for ME. hahah. the guy who took my order didnt give me a receipt, so when i was at the counter, paying for the stuff i had the tell the cashier guy what i ordered. but i was kinda being dishonest la. 3 cheese pratas was supposed to cost $6. i gave him $7, he took some time to think, before giving me back $2.50 haha, wth man. and now, those pratas are waiting for me in the kitchen for me to devour. talking about it makes me hungry already.. ok, im off. good night.

if i had one chance to take back,
but over and over again
i never wanted to hear all the things that you told me,
cause you wouldnt take me home

i look at them. should i join them? i want to, but something inside of me tells me to FUCK OFF because i feel so damn uninvited, being an extra, and so, i just turn and walk away. sound familiar? just bringing up some of the old stuff, because they kept coming back and affecting my life. this is a typical scenario for me in school. i just want things to change.. so badly.

hullo. guess i didnt blog in a while. the usual reasons la. im kinda starting to dislike school even more nowadays la. not because the lessons or teachers suck, is the way im mixing around in school. i guess if i didnt follow any certain group of people during break periods, i would have to be on my own for all the hours left in the break. i just.. dont like it la. the feeling of being invited is so much better than actually just following any random group, WORST, if neither of them actually know you're tagging along, or they detest you following them, just like a pest. well, who likes being alone?

MONDAY.

caught a last minute bus going to school, and it was quite a bad start for the week la. i came in around 10 minutes late and i guess the attendance marking was like over. and music theory now is kinda getting confusing to me. after class, i forgot to tell the teacher that i was PRESENT, so i guess that'll mark my 3rd absence from Theory Class. i'm not sure either, but i think so la.

after that we had the boring-est class in Lasalle. Techical Theatre. i guess everyone in that class was like wishing for time to go by quicker. had break later on and went to Mac across school for lunch. mac's free wifi service is slow as hell. i tried logging on using my psp's web browser and the time it takes to load a small page such as GOOGLE takes eternity. had the last class of the day later on, Rhythm Ensemble and it's fun. got to learn some new african drumming technique. 510pm, left for home.

TUESDAY.

i thought i was gonna be late as the bus was like turtle slow in the morning. but i wasnt : D i'm realllly lucky la i guess. first class of the day was not realy a class but a Lunchtime Concert. they were only 2 guys performing and both of them were teachers from our school. just a drummer and a saxophonist, and they were good. later, we had Performance Analysis lecture which was supposed to be on at 4pm. lecturer came, but the surprising thing was that the class was cancelled later. that makes the 2nd class in a row to be cancelled. reason? the room was locked, and the keys couldnt be found. i feel it's a stupid reason la. but lucky, there was gonna be a test and i havent even started studying.

then rushed off to CityMusic. got my POD XT LIVE. bought a carry case after 29859385 years of procrastination. i just cant wait to use this baby when i get home la. thanks MOM. sad, i probably wouldnt get my ps3 for my birthday next year : (

WEDNESDAY.

was rushing like hell in the morning. i got up late la. wednesday mornings are torturous. especially when the first class starts at 10am. so LUCKY, i ran like a madman up to class when it was like only 1003am. and teacher wasnt in class yet, phew. so relieved. and yes, aural class SUCKED for me, my hearing is horrible la. i admire people with PERFECT PITCH. aural classes to them would be like ABC to them.

ok. Wednesday's pretty much a short day la. since the last class ends at 1pm, i got home at 3pm, and took a nap. end of wednesday.

THURSDAY(TODAY)

lemme calculate the amount of hours i approximately slept since the night before. 9am - 12pm, which makes up FIFTEEN HOURS of sleep. and waking up at 12pm isnt right at all. when class is at 1pm. had speed showers and dress-ups. clock reflected 1215pm, obviously i missed like a thousand 72s. so i begged my grandma for $5 to take a cab to a nearby MRT station so i would feel better. and yes, i took a cab later, and i wasnt late for class.

academic writing was a bore. then here comes the ultra boring part. almost a 5 hour break before the next class, CHOIR. what the hell am i going to do?! ended up going to marina square with gabe, isaac, iris and dewi for lunch. i feel so much better being in a smaller group, since i'll turn mute if the group has way too many people. went to HONGKONG CAFE for lunch. the prices are quite a killer, not being REALLY expensive but because im on a tight budget. was reluctant to order.... but eventually i did so la, my stomach was growling anyway. had some pork spaghetti with cheese and it was pretty ok. didnt finish it though, just too much for my stomach. dewi was so kind, she paid for my meal. thanks. though she may seem a little eccentric, but i find her nice. went to play pool with gabe and isaac and got a thrashing from them. hahah. crap.

took a cab back to school for CHOIR. damn the class. so BORING! adrian kinda blew up at us guys. walau. when i thought class was gonna be over, he went "ok, lets do Annie's song." fuck la. another song?! my throat is like getting dryer and dryer la from all the singing. after enduring hell, finally finished class at 7plus. went home!

so quick and it's already a friday tmr. cant wait to see certain groups perform during fusion tmr. ben borrowed from me my old vestax pmc-06 mixer for his fusion performance tmr. really wanna see him do his thang tmr. and now, it's best for me to be sleeping. good night.

your eyes aren't yours to be clear now
cause you wouldnt take me home

hullo. sorry for not updating lately for my faithful readers. since now i am, u all must be happy rite?? *sound of crickets*
ok im just being lame la. these few days i've been really tired by the time i got home, and obviously my brain doesnt have enough power to think about whatever good or not-so-good stuff that happened recently for blogging's sake. and now, i have all the time in the world to blog simply because im feeling all relaxed after completing my homework. it feels sOoOo much better now la, gotten rid of all the usual tension i would feel whenever i havent done my homework especially when class is like, TMR.

though now i cant really remember what exactly happened for the past few days, i'll try my best to pick out those sweet parts if i can ever find it roaming around in my hEAD.

WEDNESDAY.

after school, went to raffles city for DINNER at MOS BURGER. tried the original MOS BURGER, and i feel it tastes fucking good. the sauce in between those buns and meat patties is simply heavenly la. then went to CHIPPY's BRITISH TAKEAWAY nearby for dessert. for people who dont know, thats a snack place which was once featured in The New Paper for it's famous FRIED MARS BARS. and speaking of that, i never tried it before so i decided to give it a shot. cost me $2.95 for 4, with one scoop of either chocolate or vanilla icecream. i wanted in vain for my dessert to come. then tried it later. and IT ROCKS.

wtf is with blogger man. i cant seem to be uploading a single pic. pissing me off. well. i'll try again another time, IF it doesnt work again i will hate blogger for life. ok back to where i was.

yeah, dessert rocked on wednesday night. after that we all stoned around Clarke Quay area, mesmerized by the beautiful view at night, on whatever bridge we're on. while the rest were stoning, i wandered off somewhere and found a black stray cat. then i played with it and carried it back to the bridge. k i lazy to blog anymore for wednesday, so we just went home after that la.

THURSDAY.

had a major long break in between classes. picture THREE AND A HALF HOURS. went to ps for brunch, ate at BK. then proceeded along with the idea of going to some place called MIND CAFE. at first i thought it was gonna be some boring shit, but it turned out to be an enjoyable time spent there. the idea of a FREE FLOWING DRINKS is great. kept drinking PEACH tea non-stop, hahah. played this game called "YOU MUST BE AN IDIOT" and it's retardedly fun. but the fun got stale for a while and we're off to school for our last class of the day. the IDEA of goiing back to school for classes after doing something fun = SIAN X 10000000

then i decided to be a SKIPPER and just went home straight after that, and asked someone to mark my attendace for me. hahah and now i feel bad la.

FRIDAY.

DOOMSDAY. reason? it's OUR TIME, to performance once more for fusion class. and im dead anxious. and that day was JINXED for me. i'll explain later. firstly, i was supposed to be in school like 1015am, and i just got up at 945am. reached school around 11am, had a VERY brief rehearsal before our time booked for that room runs out. because im late la. but thankfully we got to rehearse again in the venue itself as the doors were unlocked. ok, and on to the verdict.....

we played alright! i felt so damn relieved after ending the last chord of the song. and today, is a happy day for most foundation performing arts students as GAMELAN class for the afternoon/evening has been CANCELLED. which means, after 230pm, we're all no longer prisoners in school. but sad for me, i still have MAIN STUDY at 3pm. i felt a little jealous seeing people running out of the schoolgate. that night was POP NIGHT and i contemplated about going for the free concert. but i decided not to go for it after there was a change in plans. i'll miss the free food : (

after main study, went to town to meet up with some old school friends. ate dinner and went pooling around at PARADIGM. ok, i suck like hell while playing. ok, i said friday was a jinxed day for me right? here's the evidence. i was LATE in the morning for practice, totally ungrooming myself too, no wax, no nothing, then later in the day i suck at pool like crazy, when going back later, my ezlink card became fucked up and i simply CANNOT tap in, and lastly, at SK interchange i came running like hell for my bus and the fucker uncle drove off in front of my face, what's worse? i ran through the glass doors that automatically open up but the uncle wasnt even paying attention to me at all. what a bitch. that's Jinxy Friday.

SATURDAY.(TODAY)

was kinda moody in the morning and blew up at the slighest things. but kinda cooled down on the way to language school. my routine before entering class is to go "Bread/Pastry Shopping" at the confectionary. kinda overloaded on donuts today. hahah, but donuts rock anyway. sinfully sugary and fattening. but heck it doesnt affect me anyway. paid for the JLPT prep course today and got the book and CD. havent listened to it yet but heard it was quite a killer for listening compre. had the usual interesting class and went home straight after it. while at home, i TRIED to nap but to no avail. so i just remained awake till 9pm and went out. no use blogging the same stuff that happens almost every saturday night. i'll skip that.

now, it's like almost 3am and i havent got the mood to sleep yet. oh ya, last SUNDAY, i missed an uber hyper extremely important event in my life. WASEDA SHIBUYA HIGH's SEIRANSAI EVENT!! in fact, now i'm still pissed at the fact that i didnt go for it. IF ONLY I WENT TO GOOGLE FOR IT'S DATE EARLIER, i wouldnt feel like shit now. i went for it last year and i kinda liked it. the people, the environment, the activities,though some were lame but we had fun anyway. too bad i have to WAIT ONE MORE FUCKING YEAR. ARGHHHHH.

ok before ending this entry, i wish for all the best for everyone i know for their upcoming EOY exams. may you all score good grades!!(provided you study) and hopefully be stress-free. good night.

blur your eyes...
and... bend the line..

hi. i just got back from going out. i really dont feel like turning in yet so i'll just blog for fun. the MRT trip was quite a killer, as it was DAMN long, travelling to a totally different side of the island, but i solved the boredom issue already. i brought along some japanese notes, so i could make use of my freetime fruitfully. and time really whizzes past in a jiffy when ur occupied with something to do.

Before going off i was having a free dinner treat from a friend at the nearest S-11 in the west area. had BBQ chicken rice, it's conveniently cheap and tasted good as well. my staple drink at every coffeeshop would always be MILO PENG. seated at smoking area as my friend was sadly a smoker. 2nd hand smoke!! ee. then there was a fucking rat near our table. it kept going near us. i kept stomping my feet in a bid to chase it away, but it came nearer instead. only when i stood up, it scrambled away. fucking rat. one major thing i hate about rats. reason #1, they bite people for no reason at all. reason #2, they carry diseases. and this stupid rat was yet another creature persistant for leftover food. it kept coming back to our table for about the next 9 times. until finally, our saviour arrived. there was this kind fellow passerby who unleasehd her pet cat out. and yeah, we let nature handle this problem. cats KILL rats. yeah, so we sat back and watched the fun.

i think i took the very last train terminating at Ang Mo Kio. the trip approximately lasted about 40 minutes. at first when i just boarded the train, there were about only 3 other people scattered around in the same carriage. by the time i reached Ang Mo Kio, i was the only soul left in the very same carriage. reached my stop at about 1232am. luckily i charged my ipod beforehand or else i would be reAlLy bOrEd without music ringing in my ears. the bustop was empty as hell. luckily there were quite a variety of buses that i could take back home, not all go directly to my place of course, just somewhere near. took 132 back. had to walk home from Bowen Secondary as thats the only stop which is closest to my place.

it's official that almost the whole of hougang point is under renovation. even the main entrance is boarded up, one could only enter through from the back. the only 3 stores that still remain untouched would be NTUC, Mac and KOPITIAM. the lousiest convenience store ever, Cheers is gone too. good. they should really replace Cheers with 7 eleven.

it's like 5 minutes from 2am. i have yet to shower either. i need to buy a new bottle of girl wax as well as hair spray. and wishing for my fringe to GROW faster. almost EVERYBODY said my hair looks funny on me. ok la i have nothing else to say, guess i'll shower and turn in. good night.

oh ya almost forgot about this. i saw this new interesting product from Apple, but i find it cute but retarded.

let's just stop, drop everything
forget each other's names
can we please just walk away?

hullo. havent been updating for the past 3 days. gonna start blogging from where i left off, FRIDAY, till saturday. the weather now is best ever to be sleeping in. the sky is dark and sexy. i was standing at my balcony some few minutes ago with one window opened, and the wind was blowing in my face, and ooOoOh, does it feel gOoOd. the good thing was that it wasnt raining, maybe it was la, a vErY slight drizzle. Singapore hasnt been raining much last month, but now, raining seems to be an everyday thing. last time i kept complaining that singapore badly needs SNOW. mostly because the weather is just SO HUMID. until i had to exaggerate that much. but now, the weather seems cooler, but one major that i dislike... for it to RAIN ever heavily when i'm going out. reason #1, it spoils all my time styling my hair when eventually the ugly rain destroys it. reason #2, who likes getting wet? reason #3, being forced to carry a giant umbrella around.

ok. here's FRIDAY.

got the sms about 2 days earlier, indicating place and time of meet. PS, 12pm. and the weather sucks like hell. i'm drenched from top to toe. i had a feeling that i'm gonna be late, but i reached the earliest instead. met about 1/4 of the group first and went to have lunch at KFC. i thought we're gonna have fun that day, but in the end, we were all undecided of what to do for the entire day. since the rest of the guys came later, we had to wait for them to have their meals first, we were bored and played some mini group games. and i suck in all of them. finally starting moving at about 230pm, i was getting really uneasy after sitting for long periods of time.

one suggested going to some MINDS cafe, i had no idea what that was, but agreed to it anyway. then another disagreed sayign that he doesnt wanna burn his brain cells from all the heavy thinking. so.. we went to Cine's L9 e2 max instead. in hope to book one of those rooms and enjoy ourselves, immense ourselves in both video and pc gaming. all the guys were up for it, since duh, we're BOYS, but i duno whether the girls would like it. to our dismay, ALL of the empty rooms there turned out to be fully booked. desperately not wanting to waste anymore time, we went to play pool instead. though some disagreed, they still followed and just sat there and watched us play.

halfway through playing, i realised that almost half of the group was gone. where did they go ?? got to know they went to eat at PastaMania below. such powerful stomaches, since they had lunch like only 2 hours ago, still can eat somemore. after pool, we had a hard time deciding what to do. we wanted to agree on doing something that everyone can participate in, not like what had just happened. tried k-box, eventually disagreeing to it as some of us are gona leave around an hour's time. so, we stoned at Starbucks instead. it's quite a disappointing day la. so many disagreements, so little fun for everyone. left the group with shirley as we needed to meet our respective friends.

630pm, CP.

met muneh and his friend to go JALAN KAYU for my free dinner. ate 3 cheese pratas. then there was this stray cat that was persistant like hell. it came under my chair and kept staring at me. i ignored it la. then it suddenly stretched out its paw and touched my thigh. wtf man. i didnt know cats were that daring. this was a bad, stubborn cat. i harassed it for a while until it finally gave up and went to bother other people instead. after dinner, went home.

SATURDAY.

not a very interesting day. my 4th consecutive lesson that i came in early. but i was quite blur that day, i didnt revise my work the day before, so i forgot some stuff. got back my marked homework and fuck, so many mistakes! during class breaks, i was having a mini picnic in class. before lessons, i went to buy bread at the confectionary at ISETAN. bought $5.20 worth of pastry. got labelled "roti-boy" in class. haha. spastic name. after class ended, walked from orchard till PS to kill time as i had nothing to do, before going home. the weather, yet again was a killer. reached home and i got a splitting headache and a horrible running nose out of the blue. turned in early as a result. slept at 9plus-going-ten.

TODAY, SUNDAY.

woke up at 145pm. oh my, i slept for soO long la. more than 15 hours, approximately. and i remembered later that i DIDNT DO MY homework! shit. left the house late and did the homework in the bus and MRT. suddenly a trip to town from home seemed so quick when im busy doing something. obviously i didnt have enough time to complete my work, and got scolded by my teacher la. major exams coming in about a month's time. i'm scared.

now, im back home. doing nothing again. i want time to go faster la. going out later at night. sad thing that i have school as per normal tomorrow, that means i have to wake up at 9AM. maybe even earlier this time, since my bus going to school is using that lousy new route. ok la i guess i'll end here. goodbye.

when fighting with the ones we've loved,
your thoughts exploding into thousands of pieces
remind yourself, when it was so much better then
remind yourself, that they are the ones who will hold you still

hullo. today's yet another fine day. i thought i was gonna be stuck at home, stoning for the whole day, but last night i received a late sms indicating that there's FUSION practice tmr(today). so glad that i had at least something to DO. but before leaving home for school, i got a little pissed off at my dad la. this afternoon, after i woke up up, i made an impromptu decision to cut my hair since it has been 2 and half months from the last haircut and my hair is out of shape like hell, with uneven thickness too. but one thing, i've got not enough $$. so i asked my father nicely for $30. he said a big NO, and give me a crappy suggestion instead. and he said he would only give me $10. his suggestion? cut at the BARBER's downstairs for $8. my reaction in my head was immediately, "FUCK OFF LA, BARBER's SUCK."

then after a small magical chain of events, i got my $30! haha. i was VERy lucky today. i caught a last minute MRT or else i could have missed a bus later on. i was supposed to be in school by 330pm, i got my bus at 305pm, and i was sOoOoO confident that i wouldnt be late. BUT, i was still late la. THE REASON? as most of you would have known, there is some IMF meeting going on in our tiny little country, and for the sake of these VIPs, ONE WHOLE BIG FAT STRETCH OF ROAD was closed today. and so unlucky that the bus i'm in actually used that route, so now, the bus took a different route to school instead. so fucked up, the alternate route added on like 20 minutes to the regular bus trip time.

FUSION practice today was quite horrendous. we actually wasted 2 whole hours of practice time. till now, we have no idea of what we're gona be performing. a list of suggestions, but not everyone is up to it. we still have one more week to go, and i have a small feeling that we're gonna screw up our next performance if no progress is being made. after practice, the 4 of us, excluding one member, took a cab to PS, wendy's idea. verdict? a very BAD idea. since that stretch of road is closed, so unlucky that route had to be a shortcut to PS, but we couldnt take it, so the taxi took a VERY long route to PS, through expressways and shit. the total cab fare amounted to $12, when it could be almost half, because of the road's fault.

PS, 620pm.

Parted with Shirley and Justin. wendy and I went to Carrefour. she bought groceries.(SO AUNTY HAHAH) if she saw what i wrote in brackets she'll kill me. then i bought BEEF LASAGNE. after our mini shopping experience, i duno where she went, but i went to City Hall, or FUNAN mall to be precise, for my long awaited HAIRCUT.

things didnt go my way this time. i wanted to keep my hair THICK, but it got layered instead -_- my fault la, i should have opened my mouth. spent almost close to an hour having my hair done at KIMAGE. the outcome? pretty alright hair overall, but WHY did he cut my fringe so SHORT?! i wanted it to be on eyebrow level, but what did i get?! but it certainly feels so much better now, all those uneven length and thickness issues solved. had a small surprise upon paying for my haircut later. all i knew was, i had been paying $31.50 for my haircuts there, but today i paid $24 instead. got additional $6 to save, but i spent it all on dinner later. had BEEF LASAGNE meal at KFC.

hair comparison here. here's about 3 weeks before my haircut.

and here's my hair NOW. i want my fringe to be slightly longer la.

TMR, friday. i have plans for tomorrow. so glad that i wont be bored, hopefully everything chunrs out right tomorrow. outing with my fellow schoolmates. shit, it's close to 230am now, i think i'm off to bed. good night.

I miss the part, when we were moving forward now
On our way down
But maybe someday, I'll be something more than love
Just know that I'll never tell

hullo. i'm having a headache as im typing this. see what a passionate blogger i am. hahah. head pain still can blog. today was an alright day. i got out of the house early and had those bad starts again. seeing my bus leaving in my face. so irritating la. was supposed to meet jingguang at CP at 1215pm. i havent seen him in a longgg time so today was a day we're gonna catch up on stuff. after waiting for eternity, i took 109 instead as 159 never seemed to be coming AT ALL.

weird enough, i met up with him on the MRT platform there, glanced at my cell clock, and it was 1215pm SHARP. so zhun right. ok la then we're off to DHOBY GHAUT. had lunch at PS at the kopitiam upstairs. bought the big fishball noodle. $4.50 seems reasonable enough since the bowl was really BIG. it tasted good la. but pity i had to waste the soup. because i'm full la. had dessert of PEACH SAGO yet again because i could never get enough of the superb taste of PEACH. went idling around the music store on the same level to look at instruments. saw a fellow schoolmate but he wasnt facing in my direction so i didnt say hi.

ook. on to the MAIN part of the day. POOL TIME. went over to PARADIZ center for our long awaited pool game. timecheck, 2PM. the snookerium was a ghost town. so empty. and we're the only 2 people playing. so unlucky la, we got the same damn table that i've played on 2 days ago. the table near to the DAMN WALL. FUCKING WALL. crucial shots at that certain angle seemed almost IMPOSSIBLE. because of THAT WALL. ok. here's the review of today's pool game. i started out having some FORM, in the first 7 games we played. i won all 7. and everyone loves the feeling of being a winner. but things change after the 7th game. i started getting REALLY unlucky. i even failed to pocket those damn simple shots. ok la, but it's not about the winning la since we're playing for the pleasure of having fun out of it. we had a great match today in the 3 hours of pool we played. the final score was 9-5. the most unpleasant part was when we have to pay at the end of the match. $14.90!! i burnt $7.50 on just POOL.

on our way back to PS, i saw Lasalle Year 2 pop music students walking in our direction. but i dont know them la so there's no point saying hi. bought 2 donuts from 7 ELEVEN, 1 strawberry, 1 chocolate one. and halfway through eating my first strawberry donut, the donut slipped out of my mouth and fell on the floor. wtf man. after mourning the loss of the first donut for sometime, i ate the last donut realllllyyy carefully, so that it wouldnt receive the same fate as the first one.
went back to the music store upstairs of PS, as my friend wanted to get his guitar chordbook. then going back home from there.

since it was only 6pm when we got to the MRT station, we decided to kill time by taking the MRT back in the opposite direction so we could SIT, and enjoy some music from our music players. reached CP's bus interchange and took 159 back home. this trip back home wasnt pleasant. there was this psycho uncle who kept STARING at me throughout the ENTIRE journey. fucking freaking me out. when i first boarded the bus, i went all the way to back to sit. then the stupid uncle saw me and gave me a typical stupid kopitiam uncle stare. i wasnt affected by the first stare. btw, the idiot was sitting 3 seats in front of me. then within 4 seconds after the first stare, he turned back and looked at me AGAIN. ok la, at this stage, i'm pretty much unaffected. after he repeated his actions over the next 4 times, i started freaking out, and pretended to look outside. i swore, he stared at me for at least 30 times for this entire damn journey. either he has a mental disorder or he's a homo. the scary thing is, he got off at my stop, after some hesitation, i decided not to get down, and got off a stop later.

fucking freaky la. this event brings back HORRIBLE memories.. dating all the way BACK to last december. my first encounter of getting hit on by an ugly gay foreign worker back then when i was working at JurongPoint. eeyer. ok la i dont wanna talk about this anymore.

tomorrow.. is yet another boring day. so fast, it's already a THURSDAY. i dont feell so bad this time since after this comin end, SCHOOL IS STARTING ALREADY. yay. ok la it's kinda late already i'll try my best to turn in early. good night,

ignoring what we felt,
overlooking what we've done
no awkward silences, no hiding any truths

hi. today's a so very unpleasant TUESDAY. firstly, i'm getting bored to the brink of DEATH. holidays are so damn boring la, especially when u got nothing in mind. so bored that i just decide to blog for fun. what else can i do??? i'm a really passive MSN chatter, that means i wil only respond if people talk to me first, or else i'll just stone all the way online. but sometimes i'm "active" but that doesnt happen all the time.

i woke up at 10AM today. the house is dead quiet. realising it was too EARLY, I resumed sleeping alll the way till 2pm. back later at 2pm, things didnt change. everything was pretty much in the same state. i really couldnt sleep back so i just showered and stoned online. mom gave me $5 less of allowance and that pissed me off a little. because that $5 really meant a lot to me since i'm on a saving spree. especially when i just blasted $50 on reckless eating behaviour. ooh. my heart hurts la seeing my wallet getting thinner.

really desperate not to break my one and only $10 note for today, i asked otou-san(father) for $5. and one really BIG thing i dislike about asking him money is that he will ONLY GIVE ME MONEY ONCE I GET CHORES DONE. i'm not a maid ok. after going through hell, i finally got $5 from him. the very first thing i did was to leave the house as i didnt wanna kill myself any further from the boredom.

4 PLUS PM.

In hougang Point's kopitiam having my Brunch. how sian-er can it get. i'm ordering the same meal yet again. probably the 5th same consecutive meal in a row. CHICKEN CHOP SET. reason why i didnt order anything other than that is because i'm a messy eater, i ordered some black pepper beef meal set from the other stall once before and i got the whole table dirty because of my messy eating style. so.. i dont like it la. embarassing also. this CHICKEN CHOP SET however, i'll eat it cleanly, without dirtying the table, miraculously weird right? i also dont like taking-away my food as now ah.. they are charging extra for that, and since im in the state of turning into a miser, i dont do that.

so.. i ate what i ordered, then having a dessert of PEACH SAGO. peach is damn frreaking nice la. hougang point is really getting almost useless now if not for the kopitiam and supermarket upstairs. i took a stroll around hougang point just to see how much changes have been made since my last visit there. almost ALL the shops were gone, and the place is ultra noisy. construction was going on almost everywhere, behind boarded up doors. even the once beng-infested arcade is gone too. that's a huge PLUS point. since i hate them so much. so now im just wondering what are the new shops gonna be. give me a pool place please.... hahah. imagine the convenience for me, if there was to be one.

ok la i had enough of the lousy mall and went back home. this is where things get frightening. i see MANY half dead cockroaches at the void deck of my block. fuck la, of all the time in the world, they had to do it TODAY. the stupid roach-exterminating programme. so i faster ran like hell without trying to step on them and into the lift. and now, im back home, typing this entry. otou-san left for work im home alone : ) i so love the feeling of being alone.

yesterday, for the fun of it, i searched YouTube for MONTFORT. and it returned me back the results i wanted to see! because montfort isnt just the name of my school, can mean certain places in other countries. many montfort fags la i saw in those youtube videos. the videos are mostly taken during some scouts camp or something, and i see something which isnt supposed to be there. girls. but since it's a camp, it's ok. from dancing faggots to fighting fags. even a "montfortian fight" is available for eyes to see. urgh. such lame people la. nothing could change my hate for majority of people from my ex-school.

AIYA. boredom is really tightening its grip on me. i have really stupid ideas in my head. one such stupid idea is watching a movie or playing pool alone. i really cant stand it. i MISS SCHOOL LIKE HELL NOW. i wish for time to FASTER PASS BY NOW. if only some kind soul would host a chalet cum BBQ stayover party, wouldnt that be great? but NO, barely anyone is online now and i bet all my other school friends are enjoying their own private lives now. ok la. i guess i'm taking a nap now to ease my boring mind.

And I'm at the point of no return
So afraid of getting burned
But I wanna take a chance
Oh please
Give me a reason to believe
Say you're the one that you'll always be

one short entry. earlier before i kept complaining about not being able to log into MSN, well i'm not alone. MANY other people arent able to also. so... i feel nice today, so i'll post the solution here. i got this from a source online, and IT WORKS! yay, I COULD LOG IN INTO MSN.

Now, go to START, click on run, then type c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

Open with notepad.

at the end of the last line, (which should be 127.0.0.1 localhost)

leave a line beneath it, then type in 65.64.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com

then press enter, then type in 65.64.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net

then save the file. Exit your MSN messenger and re-open it. If u entered the text correctly you can now log in. Good luck!

BEFORE U POP THE CHAMPAGNE, PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT YOU MUST REMOVE THOSE 2 LINES AFTER 2 DAYS. or else i heard it could screw ur computer up. ok. thats it. bye.

hullo. didnt seem to be blogging regularly i know. because my life is boring-er than ever. seriously. i'll skip blogging about SUNDAY because that day wasnt interesting at all. on to MONDAY. yesterday, i came across this forum thread on "GHOSTS", andn i happen to have a link on youtube to this "Singaporean Ghost Video" and after watching it i couldnt stop laughing la. what a horrible piece of work done by BO LIAO singaporeans. SO OBVIOUSLY FAKE. watch it here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvv8NfN_KcE and try not to laugh. by the way, i have a week's holiday for now, and hope you guys enjoy urselfs on the opening of school on MONDAY.

had plans to watch this japanese horror movie based on a ps2 game called FORBIDDEN SIREN. original plan was to catch the 1245pm show at Cine. muneh was supposed to be over at place at TEN THIRTY AM, but the hoe arrived at 11 plus. if only i knew he'd be late, i wouldnt have woken up soOoOoO early to shower. ok, so he arrived, slacked around my place for a while, YouTubing, xbox 360ing before realising that we're gonna be damn late for the 1245pm show. so we changed the plan and decided to go for 230pm show instead, so we could laze around somemore.

CINELEISURE ORCHARD, TIME, 218PM.

ok. this is the part where muneh starts being idiotic. we stood there staying at the LCD screen for our show times. then i asked him, "aren't you gonna queue up?"

he replied "we are already in queue what."

he just stood behind these 2 people for 5 whole minutes before realising that those 2 people were just standing there having a chat only. while the real QUEUE was on the OTHER side -_- the time muneh was being blind, the queue was EMPTY, and by the time we joined the "empty" queue, there were already like 4 people lined up before us. but it's okay la, orchard was REALLY empty today, in comparison to a weekend where the crowd levels increase by 400%.

watched the movie over a hotdog combo, damn bloody nice, it was quite filling. here's my review for the movie. the movie wasnt good. the movie standards are really dropping nowadays, a brief synopsis of the movie.. FORBIDDEN SIREN is about this tiny island in japan, which had a not-so-good past. and there was a legend that whenever a SIREN is heard at night, it is most advisable to stay indoors, and not go outside. the movie unfolds well in the beginning, before collapsing in the middle parts, where some stuff make NO SENSE AT ALL. for example, a weird mutated insect confronts the protagonist, and she screams and runs away, and that creature never made any more appearance later on. so... what the hell was that insect? the movie's ending was quite unresolved too. i'll give this movie a 2.5 out of 5 stars. just a so-so movie, though the movie is not draggy, the events come by fast, the downsides are those parts that make no sense.

after movie, the day was still young. only 4pm. so i decided to play pool over at the usual place. and i suck like hell today. i think i missed 98.8% of my shots today. played till like 6pm. before going off to buy my guitar strings at the music store nearby. ate at some deserted place in the same building before going back home.

MSN messenger is being fucked up now. my desktop doesnt seem to be signing into MSN and giving me crappy reasons. so i'm forced to use my laptop's messenger. what's wrong with my connection? this one week holiday is so gonna bore me to death. no plans no nothing. rot at home whole day and just sleep. back to my old after-Os break lifestyle. i miss school already.

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

hullo. certain stuff didnt go as smoothly as what i expected for these past few days. i may be improving myself in certain sectors such as time management but that kinda doesnt affect what happened yesterday. some stuff are so bitter to reveal but since you are my online diary, i'll might as well pour it out.

FRIDAY. stupid day.

received an sms from shirley in the earllllyyy morning at 8 plus, regarding our final hour of rehearsal before performance on the day itself later at 1pm. i am so damn unclear with the song we're playing la, and honestly, i didnt like the part where we "modified" the song in the middle, neither of our ideas, except for this guy. last practice session was supposed to be 1030am to 1130am. i was in the mrt around 9plus AM, on my way to school when shirley called me and told me there was a problem about the room we booked for practice. the problem is, we're unable to use that room for our hour slot, because there was a class going on inside, and to make things worse, all the other rooms were fully booked. so.. fuck la. im going to school so early for nothing.

reached school and did nothing but stone at the performing arts block till about 12pm. it was damn boring. performance was like in an hour's time. and im starting to worry like hell. went to eat lunch at the canteen before going into the auditorium for Fusion class. it's our time. ffor us to play. and this is where my nightmare begun. i totally destroyed the song la. our performance was crap. and i think im to blame. what could get worse-r than this? a guitar with it's volume way too up, being out of tune, and timing was all over the place, and i even stopped in midway of the song because i just didnt know what the hell i was playing. i completely lost my face. and i was damn disappointed.

problem? too little practice sessions. and this song isnt a song which i could just play over on my stereo system at home so i could just play to it with my guitar. we made our own version of it and the only way to practice is to have all of us together to play. and we rehearsed only ONCE. after class, i was so embarassed because about 100 odd people just saw me screw up and literally fall in from of them. how bad can this get. what a bad start either, it's my first time playing in front of a crowd during fusion lesson.

so i just skipped the rest of the classes of the day. i didnt wanna be in the school grounds anymore. especially after what had happened. embarassment can affect me THIS much. before leaving for home, i just told lenny to mark my attendance for the next lesson. but once i'm the bus on the way back, i was stung by guilt. because not only am i skipping the next class in my timetable of the day, i'm skipping my MAIN STUDY lesson, which is uber important shit. i had to live with it la. i'm definitely gonna get screwed by the programme leader of the music section if she ever finds out about this. she screwed me once before and it wasnt nice.

i reached home superr early. and the first thing i did was play guitar. played for a few hours straight. i needed the practice anyway. i guess many lasalle guys are gona think that i suck at guitar already after seeing me play that shitty. i'll prove them wrong. just wait for my group's next performance. i have something in mind which seems like a good idea to me. played till eventually sianness came. then went to meet muneh for dinner at JALAN KAYU at 7pm.

took 103. jalan kayu is like so damn near my house la. but walking there could stretch up to 30 minutes if i walk like an elderly person, and im lazy too so i probably wouldnt do that. a bike sounds like a better choice. but i dont have one. ate at the other stall instead, not that famous prata place. and this is where things start getting sweeter for me. i betted with muneh on the price of a cheese prata at that stall. i said $2, he INSISTED that it was $2.50. then i got pissed because we even ate at that stall togther once before and he still that dumb to get the prices wrong, then i challenged him to a BET, whoever gets the wrong price has to treat PRATA to the winner.

and i got FREE DINNER THAT DAY. THANKS MUNEH. btw, cheese prata over at that stall costs $2 a piece and i have to say, it actually beats the other cheese prata, down over at the FAMOUS prata stall. im so not going back to the other stall. their cheese pratas are like so TINY. over at this stall, the pratas are BIGGER, and have the same cheesy-ness, or even better. all for a price of 50 cents less. save my money. cheese pratas rock. that should enough for FRIDAY. to sum it up it was a BAD DAY, except for dinner.

SATURDAY.

japanese class as usual. and i thought i was gona be late for sure. but i was early! received JLPT 4 preparatory stuff. a list of stuff thats gonna be coming out for my exam in december. seems hard. stuff to memorise. i'll force those chinese characters into my head. went home immediately after class. then i realised that it sux being home because my parents are gonna leave to go for some wedding,but i rejected their kind offer to follow them. so i went out. meet someone i didnt meet for some time. it was a pleasant night for me. finally, after so long, i get to flush down all the stress and feel on top of the world.

if only saturday nights could always be like this.

fuck it's 2am already. i have music class tomorrow. i'm off already. good night.

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
sad that you had to turn me down
or else you will get to experience
what it feels to be on top of the world

hullo. ok. i forgot to visit my blog for the past 2 days. i dont understand how i even did that. i dont want to neglect my blog la so i just decided to update even though im supposed to be sleeping like hours ago. i like procrastinating la i cant help it. i shall blog with a faster pace now because it's gona be 12am soon and i realllly need my precious sleep.

WEDNESDAY.

fucking hectic day. the one i was complaining about the day before. "10am-7pm" as i thought it would be. but it wasnt. had AURAL class in the morning at 10. that class was a major brain destroyer. for those of you who dont know what AURAL skill means, it is actually training of your ears, so u could actually know exactly what notes are played when u hear a song. BUT, not everyone has that skill to PERFECTION. and so obviously we're all not music prodigies, it actualy takes years to train up that skill. and i totally suck at that class. next class was due to start at 1130am. guitar skills. so this class definitely didnt suck.

waited outside our classroom. 15 minutes passed. all of us are getting restless. so we squatted down. then i went to the canteen for a while to grab a bite as my stomach was growling. took my own sweet time. came back there and in total, 1/2 an hour has already gone by and the teacher isnt IN SIGHT. so some kind soul actually called him up and we got to know that the class WAS CANCELLED. fuck la. he even left a note on the door but we're all too blind to catch a glimpse of it. so much for guitar skills class.

went to slack at the canteen. and i realised that im back to my spendthrift ways again. definitely a bad thing. i kept SNACKING. and snacking keeps the stomach growls at bay BUT they eat away portions of my allowance at a really quick rate. picture a stick of seaweed chicken going for $1, when eating one stick of it actually makes me crave for more, and i end up buying another 2 sticks. and after eating all of those, i get thirsty and i buy 2 cans of drinks at once. so total expenditure would be $5. so to summarise this up, snacking is a bad thing.

after satisfying my stomach, it was getting reallllly boring sitting down in the canteen. i dont even see a SINGLE music foundation student in sight. the canteen was packed only with VS students and some others. because on a WEDNESDAY, most music students dont have school, except for those in AURAL class, and after that they're free to go. tiime passed in a jiffy. and soon my next class start already. 1pm. gamelan makeup class. that lasted for goddamn 3 hours. damn insane la. imagine sitting cross legged for 3 hours straight. and i DID that.

k la i dont wanna explain everything in so much detail already. it'll take forever. next, i had my fusion practice session which was SUPPOSED to be at 5pm. but the rest appeared only at 530 -_- had some minor issues before reserving the room for our practice la. we practiced and practiced... and ended at 8pm. yes, EIGHT PM. we were supposed to stop at 730. but we played and played without realising we're overtime. haha.

it was pitch dark when i stepped outside after fusion practice la. like i said, the school's lighting sucks. then went to have dinner with shirley and her bf. she was a little different that night. she seemed so chatty and full of energy, so unlikely of her back in school. maybe her bf around la thats why. some people's presence could actually bring out certain elements in another person that you'll never know. hahah. but her boyfriend is a nice guy la. we ate at OLD AIRPORT ROAD. had WANTON MEE again. need i say much about my dinner? it's great la. then we home after that.

btw, wendy was missing from our fusion session. shirley and wendy kinda had a small "quarrel" over minor stuff la. but i think they're alright with each other now. hopefully la. i dont want our group to collapse over stupid reasons like this.

THURSDAY.

i'll just say the good parts straight away. CHOIR CLASS WAS CANCELLED! everyone went hysterical when the announcement was made. so we just had ONE HOUR OF SCHOOL TODAY! haha. then after class everyone was like discussing where to go and waste time together. after much hassle, we went to PARKWAY PARADE for lunch. after lunch, some decided for POOL, while we had certain disagreements with other people in the group, we were forced to split up. since they really wana go home. POOL-ed at the building nearby, and i suck like hell today. firstly, i hate that pool place already. the moment i stepped in, i was greeted by this really FOUL stench. like as if someone didnt shower for 2 years. but NO, it's just the natural smell of that horrible place. went home after pool. i really wanna practise somemore laa. reached home and it was like 7pm already. that's considered damn early. because the usual time i reach home on other days would be in between 9-10pm.

i have to perform TOMORROW. we choose this song called "UNCHAINED MELODY". i guess almost everybody has heard of this song before. wish me luck. i hope i dont screw up on my guitar. recently, brenda intro-ed me this korean show and song, and i kinda fell in love with one of the songs. soo nice la. hahah. arh shit. 1230am already. i guess i'm off. goodnight.

a VIDEO to end my entry on the right note. watching this video actually made me tear. it's just so sad la. the song moved me more.

could you really be someone to have and hold,
with all my heart and soul
someone who'll stay around
through my ups and downs
please tell me.

i read through it once without understanding a single thing.
but i'm not angry anyway.
because we're only human.
we tend to overreact sometimes.
that's the nature of us.

hullo. it's like 12am and i'm supposed to be sleeping like HOURS AGO?! i just had the urge to blog so i'll try to blog as quick as possible and get myself to sleep. i happened to be a little hungry so here i am, with my laptop on the small table in the kitchen, in between slurps of instant noodles while typing this entry. alright. shall blog on about TODAY.

TUESDAY. school starts at 1pm. and the alarm clock did a pretty good job of waking me up at 11am. HOWEVER, i still slept back. and ONLY forced myself out of my comfort zone at 1120am. and i didnt realised HOW long i actually took to bathe in the morning. i stepped into the bathroom at 1125, and only stepping out at 1150. i actually bathed for 25 minutes? seemed so much like 5 minutes to me -_-

rushed out of the house at 12. i tried to kick the habit of keeping track of the time. every single time i did that, it would only add on to my uneasiness of being LATE. and eventually, i reached school at 1pm SHARP. IM NOT LATE! yeah. ok so wat la, this isnt even an attendance-based class. it's just compulsory to attend. there was a pop workshop today, and most of our seniors played for us to see. most were good la. after lunchtime concert, went to MARINA SQUARE for lunch. ate at yoshinoya. beef bowl is the best shit. i kept overloading my beef bowl with that red spice crap, i can never get enough of it la. felt like ordering a second bowl but due to financial constraints, i didnt. 14-ed back to school, for the final class of the day. and we got bad news. on the lecture room door, there was a note pasted on it, saying that our class had been pushed back to 30 minutes later. and we actually kinda rushed back from Marina Square. sian.

stoned at the canteen for 30 minutes. and we were all really STONED. we just sat that there like statues for the next 30 minutes. and the girls were playing my psp. class as usual later. and this class wasnt that bad. because we GET TO WATCH VIDEOS! but im kinda pissed at this minority group of students in the lecture. they kept making noise and that pissed our lecturer off big time. class finished at 530pm. went home immediately nerd style. oh ya, before i forget. my sociability factor today in school.... is about 20%. i spoke less than 20 sentences for the whole day. this is getting worse la.

in the bus back, i remained on the lower deck of the bus as the top deck was crawling with students. something freaky happened la. halfway into the trip, i kept holding onto the safety bar as the bus was kinda jerky la. then i felt something moving on the top of my hand. then i looked. WHAT THE FUCK?! it's those GIANT, and i really mean GIANT, red ants on my hand. i kept shaking my right hand in an attempt to brush it off, and i look retarded but the fucking ant still stayed there so i flicked it off with my finger. THANKFULLY, the bitch didnt bite. or else, god knows how painful a bite from that bitch could be.

instead of taking NEL back home today, i took the red line instead. i did all of these just to accompany a friend back. got home realllllly early today. 710pm. and i saw hougang point going through quite a lot recently. firstly, BEST DENKI is gone. last year i always took frequent strolls into that store since it was damn big and i also could oogle at IT stuff. and now, the place is all boarded up. just wonder what would that big piece of land could transform into. secondly, WORLD OF SPORTS is gone, im not sure of the damn shop name, all i know it's some sports shop. but with the loss of that shop, it doesnt affect me anyway. and of the most recent, KFC IS GONE! i walked past it today. at first i thought KFC was undergoing renovation. but i took a closer look and saw that the interiors were destroyed COMPLETELY. the only gay restaurant remaining is MAC. not that i hate their food. but i just dont like the way they are paying their workers when they are such a frigging RICH company.

reached home and ate mom's cooking. miraculous? hahah. all in a bid to save that extra few dollars. it could mean a lot to me. did the usual shit i would do when im back home. laptop, com, MSN. tomorrow's gona be a loooooong day. picture 10am-7pm.

then SUDDENLY, a backstreet boys' tune came into my head. i started singing. suddenly i started missing all those old backstreet boys hits. then i went into my sister's vacant room(shes not in sg) and went through her drawers in search of the old backstreet boys CD. but instead..... i found something interesting. her DIARY. and a VERY old one indeed. pages are yellow with age.

it is slightly bigger than the size of ur regular school exercise book. colored pink on the covers. and had a hell lot of kiddy drawings, and stickers. i flipped to page ONE. and started getting engrossed into reading. it was like a kid's journal. every entry was SHORT, and wrote simple stuff such as "today i went to a PETFARM. i went shopping. i love today."

kiddy, yet cute. with atrocious kiddy handwriting. and i took note of the date at the end of every entry written. the first few pages were dated BACK TO 1992. YES, 1992 DAMNIT. and obviously, her handwriting grew neater as it was coming to the last few pages of the diary. one could obviously tell she grew older/smarter already. she used this diary from 1992-1994. that's like a gazillion years ago?? oh. oh! yes. in p6, i got to know she liked one guy! hahah. so sweet la. i cant believe that she actually preserved such MEMORIES. she's like coming 24 this year for those of you who dont know.

alright la. i feel like such a kaypoh now la. hahah. ok. i actually took some pics of her diary. seee it.

the FRONT.

the BACK. it has a picture of her and me together and i was BOTAK and really small then.

OK la. it's like really late now. im turning in. good night.

drown your fears with me,
i'm feeling real sorry
your glossy eyes dont need
the sadness that i've seen
but you're way too deep to swim
back up again
but somehow i cant find
the moment you went to him.

hullo. today's gonna be a rather short entry. since i got nothing much to blog about. and i havent been blogging for two days. so i'll just blog today. nothing much happened on Sunday, just like any other regular boring SUNDAY, i thought muneh was all set to have dinner with me @ Jalan Kayu but that bitch gave a stupid reason. cannot go because... "MY HI-CARD NO MORE MONEY" what the fuck reason is that -_-. anyway i saved my money for sunday anyway. i got 2/3 of my regular allowance on SUNDAY because my mother usually doesnt give me any allowance on sunday and now, after some pestering i got some cash to spend on that day, to eat out at least.

MONDAY. i slept at NINE the night before because i was quite tired and i needed the sleep anyway. but sleeping early doesnt make much of a difference to me. i woke up at 1120am. and first class of the day was at 12pm. so duh. im already 100% late. and i didnt sleep like a log from 9pm last night all the way till today's 1120am. i woke up halfway in the middle of the night at 3am. and i hate it if that happens. because i have problems trying to sleep back. and yes, i couldnt sleep back immediately, so i just played around with my laptop a while and eventually falling back into dreamworld at 4am. After much hesitation, i didnt wanna go for the first class of the day and took my time to shower/doll myself up. this would make my 2nd time in 2 weeks of skipping monday's first class. i knew my stuff from that lesson anyway plus it's BORING with a capital B. i learnt from my hair styling mistakes and started using lesser wax and being more GENTLE on my hair. sometimes i tend to pull too much at the sides and it looks awful.

left my house around 1210pm. happily taking my own sweet time la. reaching school at 105pm, giving me sufficient time to go to the canteen to have a drink and a light snack. then saw a friend and he went, "eh got study for the test later?"

then i went, "what test?" then now i just realised that there was test on Technical Theatre. fuck la. no damn use trying to find last minute notes in my student handbook, nothing would sink in my head so i just went for the test unprepared. it wasnt that hard la but of course, i think i made A LOT of mistakes already. shit. that 2nd class of the day was meant to finish at 230pm, but since it was a "test" we were allowed to leave once we're done with it. most of us left the place like around 2pm. followed this giant group out to Harbour Front to have lunch. and i was silent for the whole day. dont ask me why, but i just didnt feel like opening my mouth. but i feel grateful to have certain nudges from friends who actually asked me i was alright. i'm fine. and it's about time. in the trip going back to school for the very last class of the day, i got my invitation for the Kbox outing. it's about time. but i stil feel a little pissed because i got the invitation reallllly late, but still it's better than not getting invited at all.

last class of the day. RHYTHM ENSEMBLE. i think the most of you would have no idea what this class is about. one big hint. when you guys go for movies outside, before the movie starts, there would an ad about DOLBY DIGITAL SOUND. and some of these ads, actually most, would feature this musical group, called STOMP, playing in that ad. STOMP is basically this group of people who create music with almost everything around them, from keys to dustbins, to stomping of their feet. and i think it's damn cool la. enough with the explanation. ok.. for today's lesson, we didnt get to play any instruments : ( but we watched a DVD of STOMP. and i think it's quite nice. soon it was 510pm. and school was over for me : )

didnt immediately go back home and still stayed around in school for a while. i think im really TOO quiet in school la. can you imagine that for TODAY, i spoke less than 10 sentences while in school? i hope to open my mouth more hopefully. ok then i went back to compass point and muneh called me and yes, i just remembered about the Jalan Kayu dinner with him, Carrot and Sally. then 86-ed to Jalan Kayu. actually they were supposed to board the bus halfway throughout the journey but they didnt -_- anyway i think it's better for them not board as they are certain stuff that i do not wish to see.

finally get to meet them around 7pm. and muneh's an idiot as usual. had the famous prata. a major wallet buster la. $2.50 for one cheese prata is crazy. but i love their pratas anyway, though TOO SMALL. bought like 2 cheese pratas. and my second cheese prata wasnt that cheesy, so i'm a little disappointed. when we were about to finish our meals, the weather showed us attitude. suddenly rained like a bitch. left there around 8pm. carrot and muneh 86ed their way home, while sally and me 103ed home.

the aftermath of a Jalan Kayu dinner.

one sad thing. Steve Irwin, the australian dude famously known worldwide as "The Crocodile Hunter", died this morning after a stingray's barb went through his chest in midst of filming a show underwater. i feel so sad la. he's one funny guy with his trademark retarded words like "CRIKEY!" and i kinda liked his shows. and now he's dead. MY CONDOLENCES.

lastly, the N levels have started and i would like to wish people like Karen&Chersy all the best for their papers. ganbatte kudasai!

ok la. im dead tired. school starts like 1pm tmr. and I DO NOT WANT TO BE LATE AGAIN. good night.

i'm trying real hard not to shake,
i'm biting my tongue.
but i'm feeling alive with every breath that i take,
i feel like i've won
you're my key to survival
but i just dont understand why it had to be him
why him.

hullo. i shall try to make this entry for today short and sweet. i'll skip blogging about friday since it's just a normal school day, just like any other day in a weekday. shall fast forward to the highlight of today's entry soon. but i shall talk a little about saturday la.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 2.

im not late for japanese class and as usual it was a damn fun class. gave my teacher the chocolate bar from aussie. the chocolate truffle. she was so grateful la. i like her as my teacher. then after class, walked to FAR EAST plaza in search for muneh's birthday present as it was HIS BIRTHDAY TODAY. went to lips/cheeks(not sure la) and the asked the fat guy at the counter where's all the beanies located. he showed me what his shop had. so obviously, i went for the cheapest one. i thought beanies were around $5-$6 range. but the cheapest ended up to be $10. ok. so my allowance for Saturday is gone in a flash. i spend $4 on pastry before class started and $1 on a drink. so total savings for today = $0

sped down to KANGKAR LRT station to met muneh, carrot and da other ppl. and I WASNT LATE. so... the main highlight today was to COMMERATE MUNEH's 17th BERF DEY. so we kinda threw a mini party for him. we met at RP's Mac first. before proceeding to some void deck to have our little party. they got hiim a tiny cake. i got him a blue beanie. we settled down at the ah pek corner and we lighted up his "candles".

got him to blow. and blow. and blow. but the flame keeps lighting up back. hahah. TRICK CANDLES. and here comes to great part. i POURED POWDER ALL OVER HIM. carrot's idea. but it's sweet harmeless birthday fun anyway.

muneh shaking the powder off like a dog.

then he started getting all hysterical and began chasing after caroline. evidence below. the picture looks like a serial rapist chasing after a victim(carrot).

carrot's traumatic experience. after the serial "rapist" attacked her.

then the beast changed his target and went for a Shoe instead.

after saying sorry for being a beast they took a pic together.

finally eating time! the beast having his cake.

then there was some poison in his cake that made his face swell up.

OMG WHATS HAPPENING TO MUNEH?!

ok back to being serious. carrot, shoe and sally were busy cam-whoring so me and muneh started using the lighter to burn stuff around us, eg: tissues, leaves, plastic bags.

A sneak preview of their cam-whoring.

Caught in the act of cam-whoring.

OK. down to the group shots. i'll try to end this entry soon. i'm getting tired. too many pics... so little time.

OTHER PICS ON OTHER DAY.

will you stay awake for me?
i dont wanna miss anything,
i dont wanna miss anything...
i will share the air that i breathe,
because i just dont wanna miss anything
