Chinese New Year.

Last time CNY used to be about traditions and relatives and well wishes.

Nowadays it's all about bak kwa and chocolates and mahjong and blackjack and ang pows.

Correction.

The MONEY inside the ang pows, to be precise.

Kept like $40 as a bonus for myself, and deposited the rest into my savings account~

Wah lau yesterday I had a profit of about $20. Today it has turned into a deficit of $10 :(

But I guess losing to ur own people is alright. Maybe next week I'd start terrorising people when we play.

I hope lah. Maybe myself kena terrorised.

School starts tomorrow. Meeting darksoul, buddy, etc, after school. I know I should probably spend more time on my school work but oh well, since darksoul's leaving in about a week's time, I shall not be a spoilsport.

Aye, I was traumatising over my studies last night. A flittering thought passed through my mind.

Maybe I should just go to Business and take a 3 years course. Stay in Engin 4 years, go out with a non-Honours degree, and end up managing my papa's business?

Does it really make sense?

Aiyah, but after thinking about it and talking about it with jie and didi, I think I better drop the thought lah. I must have more determination. Sometimes I wish I don't have a choice haha.

Then I'd study harder -_-;;

Chinese New Year Eve.

But it's past 12 a.m. now so technically it's already CNY so Happy Chinese New Year! This is the second time I'm typing this entry because as I was finishing it on the last attempt, I closed the entire frickin Mozilla by accident!

How apt that I was saying that I DON'T like Chinese New Year.

Because I don't like visiting relatives that I barely know and having to pretend that I'm so happy at seeing them. One of the biggest incentives for people during CNY is ang paos, but I ain't really passionate about them, since ang paos are essentially given to u by ur parents.

But to look on the bright side, there are people that I'd really love to see after so long lah. And of course, must not forget the goodies I'd get to devour. Bak kwa chocolates cuttlefish woohoo!

Shiok.

===

Met up with 163 people today. So nice to see them all again. This time, everyone's ORDed :D

Well I don't like organizing stuff cos I'm sibeh lazy but I decided to organize this time cos I know all of them slackers are even lazier than me so if I want to see them I HAFTA jio.

On the bus we also all kena stunned when we turned to the bus beside us and saw this:














====

At first I got fugged by artis for choosing a "wonderful' day like CNY eve to meet up, followed by several replies consisting primarily of the words "huh, but saturday cny eve leh".

However, to my surprise, 11 people were present today~

Wah lau, we are even qualified to be arrested for illegal gathering loh.

Speaking of illegal gatherings, there was one point of time I bought drinks and while contemplating the next destination, I sat down at the first place I saw available for sitting, by the side of the road. The rest of them, I dunno why, proceeded to, instead of sitting next to me or something, SQUAT AROUND me. The scene felt remarkably like a chao ah beng tabulating protection money from his various kar kias.

I was like "Wah lau eh!! U all like this make me look like hei1 she4 hui4 lao3 da4 leh!!!"
===

I was so happy that I finally had the chance to see buddy and to give him back his Gundam VCDs, cos I dowan to owe him stuff past CNY, only to realize that HIS LORD OF THE RINGS VCDS STILL WITH ME!!!

Fug!

I ran into pearl the other day. She's my neighbour and studies at NUS too. Quite funny arh, I thought I saw someone that looked like her but since she wasn't looking in my direction I didn't chup her, then when I looked again I saw her waving frantically at me haha.

Then we took bus and walked home together. Yay, so cool to have someone to walk home with.

She was telling me she's holding this stylo milo job, which is like 10 bucks per hour and all u have to do is bring kids out on excursions and teach them some basic stuff like mathematics.

She said they still need people so I might try it out at the end of this semester.

I also realized that there is one weird thing in common about both our parents. They both don't tell us how much they earn. I was like, "Haha, maybe parents in cashew all lydat one."

She concluded that our parents are afraid that we will start tellling everyone and we will get kidnapped in the end.

But I think if got people wanna kidnap me, they must be either stupid or crazy.

1) I don't look rich.
2) My parents will probably call the police anyway.
3) I'd probably kill the kidnappers before they manage to do anything to me.

That day I was chilling out at perk point at central library when this bunch of people headed by a gay came to the sofa I was sitting at and the gay asked "Hello, can we join u please?"

And they did. And started rambling, very loudly, about various philosophical issues and weird stuff in general.

Gay: Blah blah blah, some people prefer SM, some cam sex, some (I don't remember)
Some other girl: Wow what's all that? I don't even know what most of them mean.
Me: *Suppresses laughter*
Gay: Oh, basically, well, u know what SM is. Cam sex means having sex when u're high on drugs, while (etc etc)
Me: *Cringes at the methodical way he lists these categories and wonders if he's tried them before himself*

After awhile, bm arrived and sat next to me while they carried on with their weirdo conversations. Both of us were silent until they left.

Another 10 seconds of silence after they left.

Then we looked at each other and burst into laughter as she asked "Why u sitting with them?!?"

Me: I dunno!!

Ministry of Sound.

Just came back from there.

It's super duper big, then there's all the different rooms, with different genres of music, which I can't really tell very well either.

Shows that I'm really not a chiongster lah. I don't dance wad.

That's why to me, chionging without cigarettes=laksa yong tau foo without gravy. Today cannot smoke cos will kena scolded -_-;; Got quite bored after awhile. Luckily the tix were cheap.

Oh yeah, we saw xiaxue there too.

I think I enjoyed checking out the cars outside than the music inside. I saw a Bentley loh! Frickin big. Alot of people were checking it out too. Sibeh stylo.

We also got very amused when at the guest area we saw 2 Porsches, 1 Merc, 1 Bentley, and finally one Subaru Legacy hiding behind.

So out of place.

And very coincidentally, out of the 5 or 6 engin girls in our lecture group that are pretty, we actually saw like, 4 at MOS today.

NUS vs NYP

Our IVP is pathetic.

We had, what, less than 10 supporters loh. Like, 3 girlfriends and a few other care leh feis like me and bm. That's it.

Probably due to the fact that Singapore Basketball Centre was at Alju-frickin-far-nied and the only transport we had from school was a bus that leaves at 4 pm.

Oh, the match was at 8.30 pm -_-;;

Well NUS won as expected, but things seemed abit scary in the beginning as NYP got off to a good start.

I don't like the NYP players.

There were 2 players I thought looked sibeh sia lan and I found out later that they were both national players. My reaction was, "Lydat also can be national player?!"

I also tried to take some pictures, but my attempts were extremely unsuccessful, as u can probably see.

This is one of 'em SLKs.






























The pictures are so bad I don't even know who's in the pic. But I believe this is bandar. Pronounced as BARN DAR, it's not supposed to rhyme with PANDA, okay? He is most probably the best 3 point shooter I have ever seen in my entire life.














Our coach is ang moh leh. So NBA. Other coaches seem quite siao-on; they stand, they shout, they give instructions. Ours looks like he's just waiting for the match to end leh.

I hope finals would be NUS vs NTU. I would definitely go and watch.

Kung Fu masters

Looking through the pics in my camera and found these pictures I took some weeks ago.



This is a family I saw downstairs.












I was so impressed I quickly got my camera and secretly took pictures of them like 007. I had to be really discrete because I knew that if they caught me doing it their poles would shoot straight at me, killing me on the spot.

A biZZare worLd

You get exhausted after a run and you sit down at your favorite spot by the pool-side where it's all quiet and serene and you wonder what realms you will be brought to as you voluntarily let go of control over your tired, dejected brain cells.

You look around your estate and you realize that after staying here for more than a decade, you don't know the exact number of blocks in here. You start counting and realize there are twelve of them.

You peep into the balconies that are still emitting light and you start to wonder what the residents are doing. Suddenly, a shadow flashes by in the balcony and you wonder what that shadow was thinking about in that instant.

Would he have guessed that he was being spied on by a 21 year old nut sitting by the pool?

The distant murmurs of Filipino maids leads you to wonder at the content of their cheerful conversations. They must be reminiscing about their homeland, their children, their old and dependent parents. In the same way, never in their wildest thoughts would they imagine that they, too, were being overheard by a 21 year old nut sitting by the pool.

You look into the apartment of your childhood sweetheart and wonder if she is still in the country. You imagine her reaction if your name is brought up before her again. A smile? Fond memories?

Or more realistically, you might already have been forgotten.

You conjure up a companion beside you, sitting quietly by your side and offering you a smoke. You are unable to create a face for this character but reckon it's alright as a lonely person cares not who his companion is.

Your vision turns to the security guard at his counter in the distance, looking over documents and arranging keys. You teleport into his soul and being and you complain and bitch about having to stay awake for the next couple of ungodly hours in a job that pays you peanuts.

You look around at the hundreds of cars in the estate and secretly envy the owners as you wish you could be in their shoes.

You miss your wife and children but you know you've got to do your job for their sake. You wonder how you're going to pass those hours, as you spot a 21 year old nut sitting by the pool in the distance and you wonder if you should ask him to go home.

But then again, residents here are extremely easily provoked and a complaint could easily cost you your job and you decide to mind your own business.

With a jolt, you find yourself back into your own body once more and you look around again.

Your troubles evaporate and you feel like a speck of dust in the universe, which you really are.

And suddenly, the world seems a better place.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Today, I am feeling:

VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY sianz.

Something dear.

I made such a blunder today by leaving my Adidas bottle behind in the LT after classes today. And I only realized it when I alighted at SIM and was waiting to transfer to another bus.

Well let's just put it this way; the bottle was given to me by someone important.

I immediately tried to ask if anyone was nearby to help me go get it from the LT and keep it for me the time being, but very unfortunately, nobody was at engin :(

So being the nonchalant and stylo milo person I THOUGHT I was, I boarded the bus I was supposed to transfer onto and decided to get it back tomorrow.

I was even thinking "Haha! Maybe it is destined that I have to lose this. Since it's all over. And in any case, it's just a friggin water bottle wad!"

So stylo right.

10 minutes later, a few bus-stops away from my place, I found myself alighting the bus and crossing the road to wait for bus heading back to NUS.

Sigh.

*Face in palms*

Cos I realize if cannot get back the bottle, I will... I will.. I dunno.

Why am I so not hao mai tmd.

Fortunately I got back the bottle. And all in all I took 151 to SIM, 184 to Bukit Timah, then 184 to SIM, 151 to NUS, then 151 to SIM, 184 back home.

That incurred a cost of at least $3 and about 2 hours of my time.

Add that to the fact that I couldn't frickin sleep again last night. I so wanted to pia home after lecture that I didn't even wanna go buy the textbooks that I should have bought.

And then this.

Well done, kang kang, well done.

IHG Finals and PPG

Today was IHG finals, Temasek vs Sheares. None of my business really, but I went to watch with bm cos got bandar and bobby and alan and the rest of IFG people.

Well but it was a really cool game lah, though I think Temasek could have won. Alot of missed opportunities.

After the game Bandar (Temasek captain) started scolding all the rest of the players for losing the game. Wah lau, stress sia. But I heard they've been champions for 6 years liao, so this time lose abit sad.

So stressful, if next time I play for hall then lose, will kena scolded also leh. Aiyoh so competitive for what, play for fun one wad.

Next year IFG if Engin loses I wonder if anyone would be disappointed hahah. I think Engin been winning for 4 or 5 years straight also.

Anyway I was at this forum when I saw so many pictures of Cassandra a.k.a PPG (Power Puff Girl).

How come suddenly so many pictures of her at sggirls.com ah? And I still dun understand why she took the offer to pose for the AIDS poster. It's put up at kopitiams that kind.

It looks so scandalous.












































She's so pretty right? Can u imagine playing DOTA with her haha. She's quite a hardcore warcraft player by the way, dunno about now though.

And BY THE BY, I didn't get these pics from sggirls.com okay, lest u start thinking I scour the site everyday for chiobu pics like a colour wolf.

I got them from a non-related FORUM.

But still, Sggirls.com is cool so if u stay in the mountains and have not visited the site before, go check it out.

P.S. It is NOT a porn site, you prick.

Everyone is feeling melancholic.

After witnessing a long period of "love is all around" amongst my friends, I suddenly think the season has changed and the atmosphere is clouded with gloominess. (I DO realize the grammar mistake.)

Is it the weather? Is it because school started?

How come people suddenly feeling melancholy ah??

Aye, anywayz, I realize how easy it is for people to feel down and out. Falling short of other people's expectations, falling short of our own expectations, feeling inferior, being mis-treated, feeling un-important, and so on.

I remember I made my parents very upset when I got into AES. Well they didn't say anything, but my then sensitive and fragile heart felt it in full force, and man, with siblings in the family who all did better than u academically, it really sucks. I just had no interest in books at all man. Actually I really didn't know what I was doing. It's not like I neglect studies and play alot.

I wasn't even a happening person! I just... well, slacked.

Okay, that disappointment made me decide to work harder and I got into a JC and eventually got into NUS, with grades that surpassed both my siblings.

But hey, does it stop there?

I remember when I got medals for sports, my dad says that sports are not important and I should study harder instead. When I got As and Bs for 'A's, he questioned why I didn't get straight As.

When I told my parents I was asked to go for IVP trials, instead of thinking "hey, my son can do sports pretty well", they shot me a disgusted look.

Hey I feel like I'm complaining about my family hahah, but I'm not.

All I'm trying to say is, one just has to be good to oneself and be happy. I mean, all these people fretting about their poor results. Wah lau, I feel relieved not going to ITE. And I didn't even go to poly, I came to NUS. And here people are feeling the world is tumbling down because "sigh... I'm the worst student in the world because I didn't get cap 4.6.... Kill me!!"

It's not that I have low expectations of myself. But everyone has limits. Contrary to what motivational speakers say, I truly believe that there are limits to a person's ability. They even say there is no such thing as talent.

They say "even Michael Jordan trains sibeh hard!" But hey, even if I train 10 times harder than him, I doubt I would be able to play better than him.

But so what? I don't take beating Michael Jordan as my sole purpose in life.

Man is greedy, he's never satisfied with his current achievements. And he shouldn't be, but he mustn't be too hard on himself either.

Life is supposed to be lived happily! Here's a great story I got from a book.

"An American businessman was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat wih just one fisherman
docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality
of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.

The Mexican replied,"Only a little while."
The American then asked why he didn't stay out longer and catch more fish.
The Mexican said he had enough yo support his family's immediate needs. The American asked,"But what do you do with
the rest of your day?"
The fisherman replied,"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a siesta with my wife, Maria,
stroll into the village each evening, where I sip wine and play the guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy
life, Senor."

The American scoffed,"I am a Harvard M.B.A. and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and, with the
proceeds, buy a bigger boat, and with the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats. Eventually
you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch directly to the a middleman you would
sell directly to the procesor, eventually owning your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and
distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then Los
Angeles and eventually New York, where you could run your expanding enterprise."

The Mexican fisherman asked,"But Senor, how long will all of this take?"

The American replied,"Probably fifteen to twenty years."

"But what then, Senor?"

The American laughed and said,"That's the best part. When the time was right, you would announce an IPO and sell
your company stock to the public and become very rich. You would make millions!"

"Millions, Senor,? Then what?"

The American said,"Then you would retire. Move to a small fishing village where you could sleep late, fish a little,
play with your kids, take a siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings, where you could sip
wine and play your guitar with your amigos."

So don't focus so much on the intermediate steps and forget the big picture. One's primary goal in life is to enjoy it!

Learn not to have what you want. Learn instead, to want what you have.

So be happy!

Insomnia

Finally the sun is back up.

I need to whack myself for wasting the past few nights not sleeping well. Rainy nights are supposed to be wonderful for sleeping, right?!

Aye, I guess this is some form of self-discovery for me too. I never knew melancholy can cause me insomnia. I mean, I fall asleep real easy usually.

But these past few nights I can just lie down there at 2 a.m. and just start thinking of nonsensical stuff, all the what-ifs and what-if-nots and stupid shit and check my phone after some time and realize it's 3 a.m. and I'm still not asleep yet and I have classes early morning tomorrow.

All those old letters and cards. Birthday cards. My EIGHTEENTH birthday and NINETEENTH birthday ones. So funny, I feel so old now.

What is one supposed to do with all those? I doubt I'd ever throw them away. And I wonder what's happened to the other half of all that.

I hate feeling melancholy lah. And I also hate telling people that I am feeling melancholy.

So that's besides the point.

What's important is I'm tired, but I can't sleep.

And that sucks.

Last Supper

Went to Kuishin Bo with bm for her birthday treat. Coincidentally this is the last feast we're gonna have before school starts, it's so much like the last supper :(

Being the kiam siap person I am, after checking the prices for different timings, we decided to go walk walk abit before turning back to start eating from 9-10 p.m., what they call the "Last Hour Feast." Thought I could save some money that way.

Alas, when we got there again, the person told us that the LHF does not apply on Sundays! I nearly fainted on the spot. Great, so not only did we suppress out hunger for nothing, now we have to eat all we want in ONE HOUR!

And so Operation Hungry Ghost begins.

Well maybe from afar this doesn't look alot. But I tell u, it WAS. Well by the time we finished half of it, it was already like 9.30 p.m. so we had to clear some plates and chiong for second round.

And we came back with such a frickin big plate of desserts and stuff bm said I was crazy.

Haiyah, but in the end we couldn't finish quite abit of food. One hour for buffet, for people with big appetites, just wasn't a very brilliant idea, man. Next time must go again, pay more nevermind, must slowly eat haha.

Anyway, the food was good! Didn't get the chance to try their sashimi though. But bm says it tastes just like sashimi elsewhere, like rubber lydat.

And omg, the "music" there was so spastic that it was funny. Goes like, "1,2,3, KuiShin Bo, Suntec City, Level 3, (dunno whatever shit there was), number one, 1, 2, 3, KuShin Bo!!!"

Wtf?!

And today I bought like, 4 shirts to wear to school~ If u know me at all, u know I find buying shirts very challenging and time-consuming one. Probably today I was in a CONSUMER mood.

So school starts tomorrow. No more goofing around.

And so it begins.





Towkays galore

Went for wedding dinner with papa at Shang Ri La just now~

Papa lazy to drive so ah pek drove us there since he was going as well and lives so near to us. First time sit in his Beemer, fwah, it was really big,

Biangz, I think for the dinner, more than a thousand bucks a table, and they had like 60 tables, so $60,000, just for food alone!

Getting married is such expensive business.

When we were at the reception there I was already starting to feel abit bored cos my papa and ah pek were socialising with all their towkay friends. Just reach only got this dunno what boss from Taka Jewellery come and exchange name cards and stuff.

Man, I felt so out of place.

Then people see me, all ask my papa if I am his "towkay" lah, "gong zi" lah, all that. Say what I got "papa de feng fan" haiyo then I so paiseh must smile smile and try to make small talk with all these people I don't know. Geez I just hoped we can start eating soon.

Oh yeah, there were quite a few pretty pretty qian jin xiao jies also~~ Got one tall tall pretty pretty one kept glimpsing at me loh!! Despite my inner desire and hope that she WAS glimpsing at me for me, I know that it's all wishful thinking and she's probably just thinking "wtf why this guy keep looking at me" or probably cos we're part of the minority, the "younger generation" there.

But hey, I didn't "keep looking at her" actually.

The food was so-so only. Wah lau, alot of leftover food loh, cos our table wasn't full. I so wanted to just kapoh all the remaining food but I had to maintain my "reserved and refined" image and kept to my own helping :(

Then got kids from other tables see our table all uncle auntie, so all came to our table to kop chocolates hahah. Reminded me of what I did when I was small.

The waitress at our table was so funny. Looks sha2 li3 sha3 qi4 one. Blur blur one, she had such a hard time kiaping the food for us, hold the fork and spoon also cannot hold properly, I starting see quite amused, after while I felt very xin ku for her.

After kiaping this portion, she wanted to walk over to the OTHER side of the table to kiap the other portion from the same plate. I mean wtf?? So ma fan?? Kindly kang kang proceeded to help her turn the rotatable thingy so that she can save the hassle.

But after scooping one plate my papa buei ta han and told her very kindly that we could get the food ourselves.

She got really really embarrassed I think, then she just smile smile then walked away slowly.

So poor thing. Reminded me of the first day I went to work for boss. I still remember Set A was chicken burger set, Set B was Fish 'n' Chips and Set C was Seafood Pasta. After some explanation from boss, I went to tell the customer that Set C = Set A plus Set B.

Okay I know Chicken Burger plus Fish 'n' Chips is NOT equals to Seafood Pasta but Iwas a confused new bird, what to do?! Dunno why so dumb leh.

But still, boss says that my first day of work saw the highest amount of profits in the entire history of the shop. She says I'm her lucky star ahahah. Really wad, not long after I left they folded -_-;;

Anyway my papa and ah pek were quite surprised to see that I drank so much wine. They even more stunned when I said I drink liao no hweeling loh. I was like 'very impressive meh? really no hweeling wad.'

Maybe I'm immune to alcohol.

Random blabberings.

I find myself kinda weird at times.

I'm a subscriber of this weekly newsletter that helps cancer patients cope with their illness. With humour, with camaraderie, since they'd know that almost everyone reading it would be in the same plight. Except for wackos like me of course.

But I think this newsletter's real cool, and it really helps put fortunate people like u and me in perspective. When u see people fighting hard against death (ah, reminds me of sandman again) and pain and disease, u stop brooding over stupid shit stuff like, "my gf was looking at this cute guy" or "i swear that BITCH was staring at me" or "i am so fuckin poor and in such dire straits that i have no money for an IPOD NANO."

Heh, if u're a wacko like me (I'm sure everyone is, to some extent) check this out: http://www.thecancercrusade.com/

Check out the survivor movie too. Their slogan is cool and inspiring, man.

I have cancer, but cancer doesn't have me.

==========

School is starting. Dammmit, I didn't manage to get BOTH Internet Business Models and Personal Finance. Slacker is in the same plight as me. When next round of bidding opens we'll hafta see what shit is left and see if we can grab some.

If not, 4 core modules for this sem then.

==========

What have I done during the holidays.

I didn't get to complete ff10 and metal slug :(

But I sure read alot. 10 x sandman. (Graphic novel) Harry Potter and the Half Blooded Prince. 4 x xiao lee fei dao (chinese novel) Trading 101. Omerta. Cracking the Millionaire Code. Aiyah don't list all so boring, about 20 books in total muahaha such a geek I am.

Well, I dunked.

And won quite alot of pocket money ah. Better not reveal exact sum but it's more than a thousand so yeah, pretty good.

I think they gave the student associate job to the indian already ah, which is just as well, I guess.

==========

I didn't know u could send SMS through email. That's damn cool shit. Friend from U.S. told me to try smsing him, and it WORKED.

The wonders of technology.

Maybe Singapore should start doing this too instead of requiring us to go to their website to sms. But oh well, just a thought.

==========

Friends from overseas seem to say they "don't know much about Singapore except that it's very very clean."

Wow.

I know, Garden city and all that, from all the stupid hao gong min and moral education shitty lessons, but I never knew this was really the impression we gave people.

So what defines Singapore. Cleanliness. And the banning of chewing gum.

Wow.

=========

U.S. customer service operators fumble over the phone too. I thought only Singaporean ones do that.

Neteller called to verify some stuff.

I thought ang mohs speak damn fast like machine guns. I didn't know they have to THINK before they speak Haha.

I also answered my SECURITY QUESTION like 5 times today.

"Sir, before we carry on, could u please answer ur security question please? What is your favorite sport?"

"BASKETBALL"

I answer so many times until I malu.

==========

MSN got so many games. Went on gaming marathon with xyz for damn long last night. Minesweeper lah, bejewelled lah, mahjong lah, all that.

We were even gonna start playing chinese chess when I heard birds chirping and we realized it was like, 6 a.m.

==========

NUS organizing this series of competitions including bball and captain's ball. I was thinking can jio wst or shambaa people or what to join when I realized it's only within Engin. I mean what the hell, they even restrict like, can only form teams made up of people from ur specific MAJOR.

Wah lau, like that how, who will join sia.

==========

I think I can really talk alot of nonsense if I want to.

==========

Lastly, happy birthday biao mei! :D

Corrine May's concert number 2

YZ asked me if I wanted to go for Corrine May's concert at NUS. I didn't even know she's holding a concert here.

Aye, should go anot ah. It would be the second concert of hers I'd be attending.

Went to meet ah bun and wild man just now. Phew, haven't seen wild man in like ages. He seems to have... I dunno. Aged?

Anyway it was really dumb, we met up at like 10.45 p.m. and wild man had to leave by 11.15 p.m. to catch the last bus, which was like, so DUH.

Finally finished Sandman. Sheesh, I must be too stupid cos I totally failed to appreciate the last volume, thus ending the entire series in a slightly disappointing note.

I'm tired.

One resolution down?

Is this frickin' awesome or what? Three days into the New Year and I think I've managed to kick off one resolution from my list.

I managed to dunk?

Well last year I managed to do it ONCE or twice and that's it.

Today I decided to try again when nobody's around and I guess I can say can oredi??

Okay I attempted what, 15-20 times? (I tell ya it's damn tiring, and it makes my knees hurt)

But hey, it didn't feel as cool as I thought it would leh. Like comics lydat, can fly and float one. But in actual fact it takes like less than one second.

I think I managed to do it properly a FEW times. Doubt I can do it in the middle of a game though, and I travelled all the way the the hoop haha.

Oh well at least it's a start.

In dreams...

In dreams.

When you fall, sometimes you hit the ground.

And you die.

Somtimes, you wake up.

But there is a third alternative.

In dreams.

Sometimes, when you fall.

You FLY.

Nostalgia

Wah lau my friend just sent me this web page project which we submitted for some web page making competition way back in 1999!! I was in sec 3 I think.

Damn nostalgic sia.

Last time we spent so much time on it. I still remember my classmates all went to support us on the day of the presentation. (Some were forced to go.)

It was a competition for all secondary schools in Singapore ah, in SPH or something.

Then when the judges finished announcing the consolation prize winners and we didn't get them, my classmates like, boo-ed and stood up wanted to leave hahah.

Ah beng assumptionites lah.

Then voila, Assmption ENGLISH School got number one for this CHINESE web page making competition!

I also dunno why we got it lah, probably our principal bribed the judges or something hahah.

I only remember our geh kiang "team leader" (who actually didn't do very much also) VERY KINDLY OFFERED OUR PRIZE MONEY AS DONATION TO THE SCHOOL.

I don't remember the exact amount lah, think it was 50 bucks or something, and that was damn alot of money to me then okay!! Last time my lunch is like, $2 one loh. So that was 25 lunches gone!

Idiot.

The fateful day of the competition was also the first time I set eyes on HER I think. Not that I knew it then, though.

The girl who was gonna become one of the most important persons in my life a few years later.

Hahah.

Life is so cool. Things happen in such strange and bizzare ways. You really never know wat's gonna happen tomorrow or even later on. Guess that's what makes life interesting and worth looking forward to.

After one whole cycle, from setting eyes on her, to knowing her, to asking her the dreaded question, to being together, to spending like 3 years together, to splitting up, now we're not really talking to each other all over again.

It's all damn fuckin' bizzare.

What I did on the first day of 2006.

I stayed at home!

After driving brother to camp at the unghostly hour of 6.30 a.m. I came home and slept all the way until two p.m.!! Kinda lucky I decided not to go for vball at Sentosa too, cos it rained.

Wow I haven't slept so much in a long long time man.

Then I started READING and READING. I just finished the 4-part series of xiao lee fei dao the other day. Borrowed Lu Ding Ji afterwards. And I still have Sandman to finish.

I think the greatest thing today is overcoming procrastination and actually cleaning and packing up my room. Also helped fix the kitchen cupboard and sewing machine with mum. Wah lau eh, damn filial leh.

However, after the hectic cleaning session and looking at my room now, I am sad to say that er, it doesn't look much different.

I got too much stuff lah, but at least they're neater now and it's rid of tons of dust and COCKROACH EGGS.
