helloo. i feel so useless this morning. i set my alarm clock at 945am, to play safe so if i overslept a little, i wouldnt have to rush like a mad bitch, BUT... after the alarm went off, i slept a little while more, and the next time i woke up it was fricking 1050AM. i had to leave at 11am, latest as my school journey would be 45-50 mins. so i knew it la, i was doomed.
i bathed for 5 minutes. then scrubbed my head with the towel damn vigorously in vain to dry my hair the quickest way ever. threw my lunch into the bag, unplugged the laptop charging cable, wore half a sock, drank water, splat wax on my head and anyhow ruffled my hair, sprayed on, and blasted through the front door.
time left home, 1120AM.
time school starts, 12pm.
verdict = confirmed late.
the bus took 948 years. 70 didnt come at all, so i decided to take a gamble, and 103 instead, but im unsure of it's route, but i know it goes somewhereeee around where i wana stop.
shit. the bus suddenly took a weird turn and i didnt know where the fuck it was heading towards so i hurriedly smacked the BELL, and got off the next stop.
through trial and error, i scrambled around the block of flats in serangoon, and found a 158 bustop. and ok, the bus arrived somewhat 20 minutes later.
1215pm.
got into class, and first thing i heard was "you guys came late, you'll be marked absent. so just stay here and learn." damn. ok.
130pm.
boring history class. we learnt about Greek stuff today, and i had no idea what it was all about as i was blindly copying every slide down and not paying attention to whatever she's saying. having bites of a chilituna sandwich during her class, typing down notes, and downloading funny videos all at the same time. sad thing, we cant log in MSN even though there's internet available.
220pm.
END OF SCHOOL. yay.
stuck around the canteen for a while, have a drink, chat with my non-music friends, and slowly walked to the bustop. actually, it kinda sucks going back too early. the bustop was almost empty. my bus took forever to arrive, and my ipod's running low on battery.
420pm.
reached Hougang Point, the fastfood joints were filled with hougang secondary students, it's a common sight everyday from 3pm onwards. i was reading LifeStyle! newspaper yesterday, and there was this section on food, where the guys were comparing all the sushi restaurants in singapore, and that page was decked with pictures of various types of sushis, and my mouth was watering while reading that article. because, sushi is great food duh.
and yess, i went to EPO SUSHI and grabbed ONE baby squid sushi. went back to eat it and it tastes damn good, so i went back down and bought another 5 more. hahah, i could eat this everyday for 60 cents per piece. but i think i will lose money quicker this way.
ahh ok, it's like almost 830pm. i guess i'll sleep. goodnight~~~ oYasUmInaSaIx~~hEhEx

back for a quick update on FRIDAY. woke up like 1015am, and it was so freaking cold even though my mom had turned off the aircon and that leaves with only the ceiling fan running. even with a blanket on, it still feels cold. weird. the first thing i did after getting up was to peep through the curtains.
ah. ok, it rained earlier this morning. self-explanatory.
the water in the shower was colder than usual. i shivered a little, even though the heater was switched on. i messed around with the heating knob and after a while, the water became like freaking boiling water. ok, not such a good idea to meddle with that knob afterall.
ok, and so i skipped the 12pm class as i think there wasnt much stuff important in it, neither do they even take attendance. left home like 12, and went over to serangoon's Mcdonalds. it was lik 1230 when i entered, and felt glad that empty seats were aplenty. ordered a large Green Tea, opened up my laptop and starting doing my japanese homework.
Skynetglobal, usually fucking sluggish, was different at this outlet. it connected in a breeze, weird. maybe i'm the only dude using their service as i dont see any other laptops around.
come 115pm, students started filling up the seats. soon after, all the seats around me were filled with lower sec schoolgirls. and with their bags all over the place, i found myself in a difficult situation to get out once i got my japanese homework done.
2pm.
finally got out of macdonalds and on to board 158 to school. here's the surprise i got for the day. about three-quarters into the journey, when the bus was passing by Macpherson Primary School, someone boarded, i shall name him Stupid, Fat, Annoying Primary School Kid. (SFAPSK for short as its too long)
obviously, i fucking hate kids, especially those who cant shut up. ok, this annoying kid sat beside me at the last seat of the bus, i didnt even notice his presence as i was engrossed in my PSP game, i'm using Manchester UTD in a hot match against Chelsea, and currently leading. then suddenly. this bitch stepped on my pants. wtf? stepped on my lap to be exact. he doesnt know how to sit, he might be brought up in a zoo instead of human household.
he apologised, ok, im fine with it. then suddenly he struck up a conversation with me, and i didnt have the mood to answer. it went something like this..
SFAPSK : Sorry ! sorry! (after stepping on my pants)
Me: (gave him an annoyed look for about 4 seconds, then got on with my game)
SFAPSK : eh!! soccer gAME!!!!!!!
Me : (ignored him completely)
SFAPSK : i like soccer sia. how much u buy that thing? I only got gameboy sia.
Me : (on ignore mode)
SFAPSK : my favourite team is Liverpool. what urs? they beat Chelsea hahahaha!
Me : manchester united. (i finally had the heart to reply)
SFAPSK : they lose to Arsenal hahahha!
Me : .... (no reply, still engrossed in my game)
SFAPSK : looks so fun sia. u wat team in the game?
Me : manUTD.
SFAPSK :(keeps mentioning the player names whenever they got possesion of the ball in my game, trying to show his vast knowledge in EPL)
Me : (still on ignore mode)
SFAPSK : Uncle, can let me play please? one time only.
Me : NO. (WHAT did he just call me?! i dont know who the fuck he is, why should i bother letting him get his filty hands on my PSP)
SFAPSK : please la uncle......... one time only.
Me : YESSSS!!! (im only cheering to myself because im currently owning Chelsea 3-0 )
he kept quite for the next 5 minutes, finally realising that i totally dislike his presence.
SFAPSK : one time only la, uncle, please....
Me : NO. im going to get down SOON. (this kid never gives up. he doesnt understand what's the meaning of NO.)
(meanwhile, i said i was going down "soon" and this shut the kid up for a while, however..)
10 minutes later.
SFAPSK : uncle, i thought you say u going down soon?
Me : Very SOON la.
SFAPSK : nice goal sia!!!!! (i scored yet another goal against Chelsea making it 4-0)
Me : ok.
SFAPSK : eh where u live? i going to go down soon, i stay at Old Airport Road there. uncle you must be schooling around there right?
Me : ya. i live really farrr away from here. dont bother asking me where i live because i wont tell you.
SFAPSK : ok la uncle, i go already, bye. let me play next time la.
Me : there wont be any NEXT time. i have no idea who you are.
SFAPSK : what no next time?
Me : ... (this kid is really fucking dumb)
255pm, he finally got off the bus, YAY.
and ok, i got into school, went for main study classes. i strongly feel that im beginning to suck more at the guitar, and im getting no where better. the skill level for most guitarists there are like soaring way higher above me. i feel like im shrouded in the mists compared to them. i hate this feeling, either i find some time to practise my ass off, or risk being labelled the lousiest guitarist ever at Lasalle.
530pm.
dragged myself out of school, up the overhead bridge to the bustop across. i noticed a group of girls, high chance they are also from my school, and they are sooo attractive. and 2 of them look very japanese. finally, i dont feel so down after looking at them, so hot, cute, sexy, pretty, everything nice. and im having a bad hair day today, my hair was like HAY. sigh, my hair really grows out of shape in short pace of time. i feel like cutting again, but i feel that it's only throwing away $31.50 as my hair is so already so PAPER-THIN already since the last haircut about 3 weeks back. another haircut would make me look like a POtential Yunnam Haircare customer.
reached home at 7pm. was so fucking hungry... my stomach growled.
mom went swimming. thats odd, she suddenly took up that hobby. so that means nobody is home to whip me up a meal. so, in the meantime, i survived on some sweet snacks. they taste good, but they wont make me satisfied.
i better get some sleep. tired. bye.
a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

hi. it's been 5 days. and tomorrow's a FRIDAY. yeah. fridays are always one of the best days in the week. back in my short hair days(secondary school times duh), i always loved fridays. since i'm dismissed at 1220pm, the earliest in any other school day. the first thing in mind was to go HOME. staying longer in the school grounds for me would only risk the danger of getting caught for long hair by the DM, or if seen by certain teachers, i could be made to stay back because im not the type who would do any form of homework. so, just like any other student who isnt a nerd, once those bells go off, they would blast through the back gates.
MONDAY.
had theory class which was like 12pm. i was being a super pig that morning. i woke up around 1045am, which was already considered super late. but i still could sleep while showering halfway. ok. so, i reached the bustop like 1135am, and the bus was no where in sight. but i saw jyne, so great, im not so lonely.
how shitty. i got into class like 15 minutes late, i opened the door so stealthily that almost nobody knew i came in. but once i started dragging the chairs, heads started turning. damn. the shittiest thing was that, i didnt inform the teacher after class to mark my attendance, so, yah, i'm marked absent i guess.
130pm. HIStORY CLASS.
this class features a teacher who is very much like a looping CD track. she keeps going on and on, and her slides on the screen that we're supposed to copy, she kept skipping them halfway when we're still having it down, so that pisses us off the most. someone kindly use her laptop during class while shes not looking, and secretly send those notes to us via email. that would be good. so we wont need to hastily scribble huge chunks of words within 30 seconds for each slide.
230pm.
not worth wasting my energy typing out a paragraph for time wasted waiting for the next "important" meeting at 430pm which turned out to be completely not worth even attending.
TUESDAY.
class started like 4pm, and i was ALMOST late. if i was, that would be damn retarded. ummmm, this class.. Arts Management. sad to say, today's class was boring like hell. the first group had started presenting their work. they recorded a video, but it was like so rushed, and the speaker was like going too fast, we almost had no idea what she was talking about. so we're lost.
skip class. nothing worth to talk about it. ok, and so after it ended, i stayed back a little while more to do some discussing on my group's project work. our due that is March 27, which is still super longg ahah, but i cant be lazy la.
6pm.
i went off to meet a friend. we had fun together. end of story.
WEDNESDAY.
had those awful classes in the freaking morning again. thankfully i wasnt late. i came in just on time, and my name was called out right on time. at least im present 2 weeks in a row. and i caught no ball again this lesson. haiz. i guess, the only way for me to really improve in this sector is when i get an actual KEYBOARD at home to practise on.
11am.
ok this is probably the dumbest thing in timetable history. my next class starts only at SIX pm. so that means... i have SEVEN hours of break. which is iNsAnE. so i just went over to the bustop, and did the logical thing, which is to go home. and i have doubts about returning for the next class. so eventually, once i settled down at home, i felt damn lazy to leave my home once more. so i didnt go. hahaha.
THURSDAY. (today)
was the ONLY person late for the first lesson in the day. so it's embarassing. having to sign that dreaded piece of paper in front of a few hundred eyes staring at me, and also having to sit down at the first row, because there werent any free seats upstairs.
i surfed the net in this lesson. attempted to watch Youtube videos but i guess the guys providing us the wifi network were smart. somehow, they got a way to counter us from loading the videos fully on youtube, and also, using MSN. so, damn. i'm stuck with surfing normal sites, but that's better than focussing in a boring class anyway.
2pm.
i have like 3 and half hours of break. hid inside one of the practise rooms and started watching a movie. someone got engrossed and starting watching with me. so we watched till like 515pm. hahah, im considered "illegally" using their electricity, and if i get caught, i would be in serioussssssssssss trouble. nice, great time management, by the time the movie ended, after i satisfied myself in the loo, going over to the the water cooler, and walking back to grab my stuff, it was like 525pm, which leaves me the last 2 minutes to walk over to the auditorium.
choir class.
reviewed the 2 songs we learnt in the past 2 weeks. class was pretty ok.
ok, and while waiting for my bus to arrive, something weird happened. it's like my eyes are playing tricks on me. i actually see THREE bus number 14s go past me. this must be one of the rarest times ever. and weird enough, 158 took like fucking 20 minutes to arrive. and i got annoyed from all the waiting.
bus finally arrived, but it was PACKEd with people. so im forced to stand for about 15 minutes before i see an empty seat and rushed singaporean style to sit on it.
alright. almost a full boring review of this week.
i have been noticeably lazier nowadays, i have actually gone on 5 days without reading any japanese. shitttttt. this is bad omen. neither have i even touched my japanese homework. makes me feel that tmr(friday) is going to be rather rushed day.
omg. it's like almost 2am. i'd better get my ass in bed. good night.
shut up and let's just dance into this song

this has been a relaxing weekend so far. what more could i ask for. oh ya, maybe i could ask for something. MORE MONEY. haha. it's a dream for practically almost every kid to get more money from their guardians. my money-saving scheme has affected my eating habits somehow, been surviving on nothing but sandwiches throughout the weeks. and i'm beginning to fall sick more often than before. not anything serious la, just those migraines from the lack of food intake.
SATURDAY.
i'm running out of hair styling methods. these old ones that i use dont seem to look as good as before. maybe it's just my hair that is crappy-looking. it would be nice if i had my own private hairstylist. dreams, again.
before proceeding into my classroom later on at school, i noticed this ang moh speaking realllly fluent japanese. haha. i envy foreigners who can speak foreign tongues fluently. well, that's my target in mind.
Japanese class at Ikoma to me was more like a review, a touch-up of the stuff which i had already self-studied. it's really seldom that i actually get to learn stuff that i dont know. that's for JLPT 3 material. i like going ahead of the class guys, it makes me feel good in a certain way.
but for this saturday, i dropped the idea of buying my sweet-tooth lunch. usually, i would enter the doors of class, holding plastic bags full of doughnuts, but this time, i come into class empty-handed. my lunch is for today is self-prepared. Butter-Sugar sandwiches. and i come armed with more coins today, since my lunch is thirst inducing. i would make full use of the vending machine.
i'm dressed black from head to toe today. black long sleeved shirt + black jeans + black ankled socks + black shoes + black bag. hahah, it was fucking hot when i left my house to go to school as the sunlight as killing. but things change when im in the classroom. the skies turn really dark and soon it was pouring. perfect dressing for this weather.
420pm.
left class way quicker than usual. i have somewhere to go.
6pm.
i got a little pissed from waiting so long for people. thankfully i had my macbook.
7pm.
seems that the pleasure derived stimulation just doesnt feel as good as before. it cant be the skill level. what's wrong with me this evening? i lay flat, stared into the ceiling. after about 45 minutes or so, i ended it. the feeling's good but the experience as a whole was just average. maybe doing it with the lights off wasnt such a good idea. i need to SEE.
9pm.
accompanied my friend to Admiralty as she wanted to get her eye products. i saw Macdonalds and immediately got attracted to it because of the free WIFI. but before that, went to have late dinner at the kopitiam on the 2nd level. this place is HUGE, but the ventilation was awful. sat directly under the blowing aircon, but it was a mistake when it started leaking into my food. fuck.
bought WANTON noodles again. dont mind me, i just have this bad habit of trying out almost stall that sells WANTON noodles just to check out how good they actually prepare it. but so far, NONE have beaten the standard of the stall near to my school. haha.
SUNDAY.
i rushed off for music class at CITYHALL. but i got stuff all wrong la. i forgot that class for this month was supposed to be at 11am, and i went at 3pm. shit. teacher was annoyed, and said she couldnt teach me now as she had a student in the class now, so my class would be extended next week. but luckily i didnt come for nothing la, i came to take my ABRSM grade 5 theory slip. i got 74/100 which is gay. apparently, it's really weird that i scored 2/10 for the MELODIC INTERVALS section, which i consider, one of the easiest sections ever. wtf man. throughout all my mock tests, i had full marks for that section. but ok la, i still passed.
and TONIGHT, i cant wait for a big, big soccer match. Manu VS Arsenal. i'll support ManUTD for sure, but i dont think this will be an easy game for them since Arsenal is pretty much a powerful team. and YESTERDAY, Chelsea lost to Liverpool. hahah! im so happy that Chelsea lost!
now im admiring the late afternoon skies. it's just so pretty. the cloud formations. it's been so freaking hot today, and now im wishing for a heavy downpour.
and nice, my parents just went out. i have the time to myself, ALONE. this is certainly the best feeling.
before i end, here's a picture of a Sleeping Beauty on the MRT.
alright. im off.
when memories fade
we've got each other
when time and confusion collide
when friends walk away from each other

hi. school life has been ok. 2 weeks of school had passed already. and by now, even that we're still unissued the FINALIZED timetable, the most of us should know most of the lessons for each day.
TUESDAY.
school started at 4pm. and this class, started off with a lecture on "Stress Management", by Lasalle SIA's part-time counsellor. he's a great guy eh. i found his lecture really interesting, and it was really worth the 45 minutes of it. at the end of his lecture, he gave us a quiz to do, so we could know our "Burnout Ratings" which means, how stressed we actually are. and this quiz is pretty accurate too. so if any of you wana know your individual Burnout Ratings, you could ask me for it, on MSN la duh.
i got a score of 33 points, which is considered NORMAL. which is true la, i'm very relaxed with my life.
then the main teacher of the lesson took over. and she discussed about our presentation dates, for our respective groups. i have no idea what my group's supposed to present, but heck la, our presentation date is still farrrrrrrr farrrrr away. it's in MARCH. a few days before the greatest day in the world. march 21.
WEDNESDAY.
this is the shittiest day of the week for semester two. so a rough idea on how my wednesday is going to be spent in school ; 930am ALL the way till 7pm. fucking killer, seriously. i rushed like hell to class because i entered the school gates only at 935am, and i thought i was doomed, but lucky, teacher wasnt in class yet. this class was torturous. as usual.
had 2 classes in a row till 1pm. and here is the dumbest part. my next class only starts at SIX PM. i repeat, SIX. so what in the world am i going to do for the next 5 hours? so i made the smartest decision, go home. reached home like 230pm, put down my heavy load, and rested. how annoying it is when i know that i cant take a nap, since i know that the possibility of me oversleeping is extremely high, and i have to go back to frigging school later at 5pm. sian.
THURSDAY.
apparently the school rules have gotten tighter. there was History at 1pm at the Studio Theatre, and i arrived like 105pm, and by the time i found a seat, the head of foundation level came into the class and sternly told us that if we come in more than 5 minutes after class starts, we would be asked to sign our names on this piece of paper(he's holding) and we would be marked ABSENT. suddenly so strict.
anyway. HISTORY class for today was kinda good. it was damn meaningful. roughly according to my memory, about cultural discriminations, taboo and some other stuff.
2pm.
the next CHOIR class starts at 530pm. so great, i have to find something to do. after sitting at the canteen, eating the sandwiches i brought to school as lunch, i saw this cute girl. i have seen her several times, and she's just so cute. *slap myself* ok.
so i went to loiter around the musical practice rooms and i saw YULIANY. she's practising the piano alone in the room. so i came in to disturb. so i eventually ended up watching a japanese drama, she got distracted, stopped playing, sat down and watched with me, and soon after, 4 people were sitting down in the room, watching the show off my laptop. free show eh.
530pm.
time passes in a jiffy especially when you're engrossed in doing something. like just now, watching back to back episodes of japanese drmaa. choir class. reviewed the song we learnt from last week, then moved on to a new song. actually, choir can still be fun afterall.
7pm.
the girls left earlier than the guys. because they stayed back last week for choir, and this week's our turn. but we werent held as long as them la. and once i left the auditorium, i saw bel, and i was dammmmn reluctant to talk to her. because last week, she introduced me to her company, thinking i might be interested to work together with her, but i had doubts, because this job had no stable hourly rate of pay, to me, a job with an hourly pay is the first thing i'll look at, followed by whats the work im doing, and thirdly, the timings.
but she's walking towards me as i promised that i would follow her to the company after choir, then i decided, this is not my type of job. so i mustered up enough courage and said that i didnt wana take up the job. then there was silence for a while before she said it's okay. but i feel guility la, she looked super pissed. i feel like an idiot. i should have rejected her on that day itself.
it was getting dark. and the canteen only had a handful of people sitting around, and all the stalls were closed. then i turned the other direction and started walking back to the Performing Arts block, as i suddenly remembered something - there was a show at the Studio Theatre.
but the best thing is not about that. it's about the FREE PIZZA. the international office had sponsored pizza from Pizza Hut and Canadian Pizza. and some wine too, but i didnt drink any though. ate around 3 slices of pizza. that was some good shit. actually after eating, i felt like going home, but smething inside of me keeps chanting out to me.. faint words like... " FREE LOADER!!!"
so i gave in, and went for the show.
830pm.
i went home. my.... fucking tiring. and in the bus back i had this MAJOR HEADACHE. maybe too many dirty hands were fighting for the pizza, so i was suay to be eating contaminated pizza.
FRIDAY.
it was kinda chaotic for me. today was the dateline for the mainstudy recital form. and for this semester's instrumental exams, we were supposed to play 3 different songs, and i havent even choose a single song. so i was panicking like hell. i asked my main study teacher for help, and he could offer some help at least. but what a wasted, all the time taken up doing those administrative stuff, i brought my guitar for nothing. it was like 7kg worth of load on my back, really. heavy crap.
so far, i only made one choice of the songs i'm going to play. i chose one KOREAN song so far to play. i cant wait to practise it.
last but not least, i'm sooo relieved that it's the end of the week, i could have some rest now.
tomorrow, there will be a japanese meetup again, i havent been to any ever since i started school, how gay. but however, i may be free to go for tomorrow's but since i blasted $25 tonight on dinner(i ordered pizzas, but sadly, they tasted average) i dont know whether i still wana go. i'll still consider la.
haiz. im feeling so tired now. good night.

today. apparently second week of school already. time flies. the weather is reallllly unpredictable nowadays la. Last saturday, the sky looked like as if there's a big, big storm coming my way, i decided to put on TWO shirts. then it didnt rain in the end. and it' so HOT.
ok back to today. the night before i realised i still had the old timetable so i got a friend to send me a new one. but hell, this timetable is still not the finalised one. this school system is really SCREWY. so at least, i had a rough idea looking at this timetable on what's the first lesson on the first day of the school week.
ok and so, it starts about 1130am. a little early la, but after saying that, i think about how my secondary school friends fare, they have to wake up wayyyy earlier, so at least i got a little more privilege comparing to them.
930am.
being my lazy self, i shut off the alarm clock and went back to sleep. and something new, i'm taking a new route to school this time. grabbed the readily-made sandwiches, an apple and left for school. fuckkkk, the weather is so scorching hot today, im happy at least im wearing something that suits the weather.
1050am.
im a little anxious. the bus hasnt arrived yet and i heavily suspect that im gona to late yet again. this new bus, 158, soon came and i boarded it. duh. the driver.. i have to really comment on his driving skills. because this bus route goes through some school grounds nearby, and there are humps like every 100m, and this driver seemed like he failed his driving test. he sped through the humps. my ass hurts like mad la. since im sitting at the back of the bus. this bus trip is like some roller coaster ride.
1120am.
wahh. this new route is like 1503958 times faster comparing to my old one. i feel like an idiot now. i wasted so much bloody time, taking MRT, waiting for bus, on taking the old route.
SCHOOL GROUNDS.
i scrambled up to class. weird. not a single soul in sight. and the classroom was empty?? and so, i thought, probably i got it all wrong again, looking at this timetable. so i ventured to the canteen instead, to scan for familiar faces. found around 2 guys, and hahah, they were more suay then me. seems like they turned up at NINE in the morning, and went to a wrong class instead. how unlucky. and there IS class afterall, and it's at 12pm -_-
ok la. i got back the results of the theory paper i did last semester. i got 50/100. average. actually quite ok la, since i left quite a major part of the paper blank since i dont know how to do Grade 6 stuff. and yet i got a pass.
next class was directly after the first one. and this one is some new thing in this new semester. something like HIStoRy in sec school. it is damn sian.. the new teacher didnt wana give us notes as her reason was that this way, ppl would actually pay more attention and be independant in class, diligently copying notes. good thing, i HATE writing long notes, i had my laptop with me so we were busy typing away, at least 3 times faster than the people with pens in their hands. but not everyone is diligent with their laptops la. one guy in front of me was visiting friendster, watching naruto, and then playing Poker.(pc game) and i ate tuna sandwiches in this class.
230pm.
END OF SCHOOL, YAY.
stayed around for a while. and great, i have $30 as allowance for today, but i limited myself to $5 only, just on drinks, and later i can get to eat for free back home. thanks to Save-for-Japan-Trip-Fund.
the weather suddenly transformed from scorching sahara heat to heat + drizzle. weird leh. so i stayed a little longer at the canteen till the rain slowly lessened, before goign to the bustop to take the same bus home. and this time, while in the bus going back, the weather transformed one more time, now it's all dark skies, and heavy downpour. when i reach my destination, back at serangoon interchange, the weather is just a slight drizzle. ok, the weather's weird.
ok. it's close to 1am now. im beat. good night.
the gleam i used to know just didnt seem to be there anymore
your eyes have changed.

argh. been superrrrrr moody these days. i practically blow up at the slightest things. didnt know these mood swings could get this severe, i even screamed at my mom when all she asked me was a harmless question. k, now i feel guilty, sorry to those affected. guys do have PMS too, not just girls. but i think im ok now la. it's been more than 24 hours since i last blew my top.
SATURDAY.
was awfully tired in the morning, set my alarm clock to 11am, but i dragged till 1150am, thanks to mom for shaking me or else i would have slept all the way through the afternoon. oh yes, i havent been puting on wax for the past 2 days because it had been raining like a bitch, and that makes my efforts of hair-styling go to waste when i know i would be soaking wet. (i dont carry an umbrella out if i dont carry my slingbag) and also, i cut my hair last wednesday. wont look as retarded with dry hair as last time. it was a very impromptu decision la.
this time, i didnt get my regular stylist to get my hair done. worse of all, all the professional hairdressers were busy that evening, and i finally agreed to let a Junior stylist cut my hair. at first i was reluctant, but after a while, fuck it la, i just needed the trim badly. this junior, she looks superrrr young, really. it's my first time actually seeing her, maybe she just graduated from the school of hairdressing and got posted to that outlet. hmm, i have to say again, she looks only like, 16.
and ok la, after my haircut, my hair pretty much stays the same, only thinner, and i got which part i wanted to be short.pretty ok for an amateur, but when she was cutting my hair, she was kinda shy, kept asking me whether this or that is ok. hahah, it's alright, im more or less satisfied. yoku yatta. (good job)
ok, i know i might have strived away from the original TOPIC(SATURDAY). so here's saturday. duh, every saturday, japanese class again. and im late. but class today, there were only like 3 guys, and the rest were girls. and im beginning to divert my attention to this girl who joined the class 2 weeks ago. she's 14, but i think she's quite cute. in terms of her dressing sense and overall. she seems to be almost my height, shit, im losing face.
ok, as for my saturday evening, i'll explain in another entry, somehow longwinded.
now's like a sunday morning, 330am, and im sitting in my living room, in boxers, blogging in the pitch darkness. i have yet to shower. monday, school again. sian. i'm still DEEP in a holiday mood. worse of all, my timetable is still screwed, i have no idea of what classes i'll have on monday. should i officially declare to myself a holiday again? hahah fuck no.
something i should have said in earlier entries. this year, i plan to go japan ALONE. my parents gave me the green light, but not all the financial support, so i have to learn to be independant, which is to save money. hmmm, i have a rough draft of my money saving scheme la, but i guess it will take a long time to reach the target i want. and that includes, limiting myself to eat ONE meal a day everyday on a school day. and bringing sandwiches to school everyday. sounds damn primary school style right?
argh. how i wish how i could have the ability to clone money.
now's still the start of the year, i have a lot of months more to go.. and JAPAN, here i come.
an angel bound to fly?
seems that your wings are going to be clipped again.
just when i thought i could see your beautiful wings spread out wide
you come crashing down, again.

hello. yet another loooooong delayed entry. firstly, school has started for almost everyone now, excluding the secondary school graduates. this is probably one of the best times in their teenage lives, a long awaited vacation off fcuking secondary school aka HELL HOLE, jail, and whatever else degrading nicknames you people give your respective sec schools. so sad that the O level results release date is getting earlier and earlier each passing year, to many of them, that day is dreaded.
yes, that vacation is truly relaxing but sometimes it gets toooOooO boring espeically if you slack the entire day at home, and repeat the same damn thign every passing day, so getting a job is a MUST. for the sake of $$ and killing of time. and how great is feels when you wake up late practically almost everyday at the start of a fresh new year, while some of your other friends are scrambling around their homes in the early morning, to go to SCHOOL, secondary school to be precise. HAHA. you school-kids.
in my point of view, i dread secondary school the most, because firstly, who likes to sit 6 hours in a classroom to force urself to study(most of us hate studying, undeniable fact), secondly, as GUYS, we have to adapt to one of the dumbest rules ever created. which is ; to keep really SHORT hair. i think girls hate school too but they wont suffer as much as they can still look good with their pretty hair. something to feel jealous about.
OK, and now, backtracking, as usual lorx. hEhEx.
31st december 2006, aka NEW YEAR'S EVE.
went to boonkeng's home for a New Year Eve BBQ. met them at Serangoon MRT at 2pm, and i was late by a few seconds. and ok la, we walked over to his home which was some pretty condom-minimum. BBQ was slated to start in the evening, and we're just going over to his house earlier just to chill out. then they decided to play cards, Taitee to be exact. and i have extremely low luck when it comes to card games, i dont understand. so i just watched them play at first, im realllllly reluctant to play because the last time i played card games was last year's CNY. and i lost fucking a lot of money over that. and i forgot how to play also.
5pm.
we're at da BBQ place near the swimming pool. dudes busy with the setting up of the fire, we just stoned around before the real thing began at about 7. i took a video using my laptop. a newly found discovery. and so, the food was ok la, the hotdogs were alright, the stingrays i ate, tasted better but most of the time i ate partially cooked ones. but the sotongs rock. i love chilli sotongs. they own over other stuff BBQed. and drank a little champagne. at first i thought it tasted like fuck, but after subsequent sips, it tasted quite nice. haha. but the shittiest part of the night for me was running away from the camera. they were trying to take a picture of me but i kept running away. hahah.
1145pm.
2007 is just around the corner...... we had already finished our BBQ like about an hour back. swell. and now, we're walking to Serangoon CC, or whatever it is. this is the first time i'm actually celebrating a big event in the HEARTLANDS, usually i celebrate in town, usually crawling with horny molesters on occasions like this. but for this year, there's a slight change. and ok la, the CC is bustling with a mixture of young and old, and the music like SHIT, ugly techno. i bet the ah lians and bengs love it. we went outside to the grassy area, and we saw Patricia mok and some guy i duno, hosting the countdown event. i hate patrica mok. ok. and so, we got free redbean ice-cream, and they taste great.
30 seconds to 2007.

and 2007!!!! fireworks lit the skies. they look so pretty. but a little too short la. then we went over to serangoon's 24 hour macdonald, chatted like crazy, tonned overnight, and took the first bus home the next morning.
and someee pictures from da BBQ. here's a close up of the sizzling shit on the grill.
and with my ninja reflexes, i dodged a camera shot.
the rest... playing with dynamite sticks.
i wonder how they were fast enough to take this picture..
Macbook promotion.
ok la thats it, damn lazy to upload further pictures because the blogger server is damn slow now.
as the first day of school draws nearer, i'm getting more annoyed because im still nocturnal. in terms of sleeping la. sleeping at 7am everyday and waking up in the late afternoon is like in my BLOOD. soo, i guess the fastest way to regain, "humanly" sleeping hours is to not sleep for a whole day, and see how it turns out.
MONDAY. (JANUARY 8th)
supposedly, my FIRST day of school, but i received a super late email the night before, indicating that i need not attend school because it is only for those in a different stream. great. i can sleep for the whole day. but last minute plans again, inod is be coming over mah place for a band jam session in my balcony.
the long forgotten balcony jam.
i havent played guitar for more than 2 weeks. so he came like 11+ am and i was dead tired, i think i only had about 1 and a half hours of sleep before his call woke me up, and i was damn lazy to move. so i took of my PJs, and slipped into my usual home clothes, the same thing la, patriotic shirt and the same damn pants. i have like 1094029 of those similar combinations of home attire.
3pm.
this time i dragged out the soft mat, a pillow, to the balcony, and also a packet of giant Pocky sticks which i bought downstairs, as a snack in case we get tired from playing.
730pm.
DONE. we're complete with our new song. after 4 hours of composing, we're really damn satisfied with the outcome. a brand new song from our band. plus we shot an amateur video of us playing it. arghhh, we're damn tired la. we took 3 takes to record the song on video, and on the final take, though there is still some minor mistake in timing at the end, we're really beat, so we just finalized that version, so maybe next time, we might record a better quality of the song, entitled "The Girl I Never Knew"
TUESDAY.
sian. the first day of school, and there is a mix-up of our timetables and we were told not to follow it since it's too messy. in the end everyone was really confused. so shitty la, what a start to a new semester. after the first day of school, i didnt know what's on the next day, so i declared wednesday a holiday, and went out to my friend's place. hahah.
ouch. it was a big mistake playing with one of her pets. she has 2 pet cats. i find both of them highly adorable, not until one cat suddenly scratched me and left me with a cut on my guitar PICKING FINGER. so i hated that cat ever since. i havent held a guitar pick since yesterday, this sucks. at first, it didnt hurt at all, blood was flowing profusely, i just went to the sink to wash the blood off, but after like 5 minutes, it seemed like the bleeding never stops. so i just let it be, and soon it stopped bleeding, and it was damn red. (maybe dried blood?) then later when i was using my laptop's mousepad to navigate around my laptop's stuff, suddenly my finger hurt like HELL. ouch.
TODAY. (thursday)
yeh, i woke up late, fuck. was told that i had some pop briefing at 12pm. but 1145am, i was still in serangoon, so what the fuck? i'm already late la duh, so after some hesitation, i decided to skip that and went to bugis to kill some time.while waiting for the next class to begin.. the weather was a bitch. it was drizzling when i was walking around serangoon in search of a bustop. and the drizzle got heavier over time, over at different locations too. Paya Lebar, the drizzle was okay, but once i reached Bugis, it turned gay.
1pm.
next class starts at 430pm, great i have all the time in the world. sat alone at BK, bought some dessert, and a large barley drink while connecting to the free wireless network in the area. Wireless @ SG's speed is at least 3000 times faster than the free service provided at Macdonalds. NOBODY was online, sian. browsed the usual sites until i got sian. then i whipped out my psp and starting playing till 330pm. and i got really restless by then, and started to move somewhere else.
went to KINOKUNIYA and browsed the japanese magazine corner for some time before making a move to go to school for CHOIR CLASS. ok, so i rushed there, and class actually starts at 530 instead of 430. i'm really early. choir class was the same. after that, there were no more lessons and it was really late already, 7pm. and the rain was POURING. i had no umbrella. after hesitating for 100 years, i finally decided to run through the shitty weather. and i become a wet dog.
argh, im tired already, i have school at 1pm tomorrow, which means i need to wake up like 11am.
but before i go, take a look at this, i ate IT, you cant find this in singapore!!
and im off. OYASUMI.
please dont try so hard to say goodbye.
and she will be loved

hello 2007. it's been a year already. time really flies. and this is the very first post of this new year. 2006 has been a mixture of fucked up moments and some really good ones too. life has so far been balanced to me. ok, i havent been blogging in a long time again i know, some back tracking as usual, i have a lot of stuff to blog about, but i'll try to keep my posts summarized in short paragraphs or else nobody would wanna stare at draggy long, clusters of words. and pictures too, to compensate for the amount of words.
DECEMBER 26, 2006.
THIS was Yukie-san's final few hours in Singapore before she flies back to Nihon. met her at Orchard MRT station at 2pm as suggested, and i was late for about 10 minutes, oops. the weather was a bitch la. non-stop pouring and i was dodging raindrops while running to the bustop nearby my place. i was going to introduce her one of my favourite eating places.
Far East Plaza.
went to the 3rd floor and had chicken rice from this stall that i regularly patronized last time. aiya. sad to say, that place has a slight drop in standards. the chicken rice just wasnt as good as it was then. and how embarassing, i got the price wrong, i told her it was $2.50 for a plate, when it was actually $3. shit!!! but i'll still thank her because she paid for my food that day.
went down to level ONE, and introduced her to Chippy's British Takeaway's Fried Mars Bar. that dessert is extremely sweet, but i like. after that, went over the Lucky Plaza for her to buy her souvenirs. Orchard doesnt have complete shade from the rainy weather, and since i didnt bring an umbrella, i shared it with her.
lastly, we walked over to Wheelock Place, stayed there for a while around there, visiting the Apple Center there, cam-whored around for a while before we realised that it was getting late and she has to get back to take grab her luggage and be off to the airport.
840pm. Changi Airport.
she rushes to check in. i scrambled behind her because i have my farewell gift to pass it to her. in that moment, i dropped my psp damn hard on the floor. but thank god, it has its cover on, or else it would add more to a heartache. now i'll be extra careful in moments like these, my LAPTOP is with me almost all the time, if i drop my baby, i'll end my life.
and she went off. see you again another time, yukie-san. in japan.
i'm feeling lazy now, i'll continue the next part of my blog's entry on another day. till then, ja ne.
