Bliss.

looks like blogger is up and running again.

I HAVE OFFICIALLY ENDED MY WORK.
yays!
on holidays till further notice from school.
Will be dropping by school to take a peek @ the subject guides to see what to take next sem.
hopefully shane can come along, so we can discuss a lil.

thursday.
met up with jasper for dinner and movies.
and we watched Orphan.
omg... its really psychotic,
no spoiler, dun worry...
liked the twist in the story, and the movie created such tension in me that i felt so much alive after watching....
was a nice show, considering its by warner bros.

friday (today).
the team was feeling rather down today, maybe because it was my last day.
spent the day doing some filing, some admin, some adhoc.
wondering why time passes so slowly.
anyway, after work, the team went Carls Jr @ Plaza Sing for dinner.
we chatted till 23:00, and yes, i just got home not long ago.

Finally off from work...
in hope dad would give extra pocket money, considering that i had only taken half of what i usually take.
LOL! how spoilt. =x
and yes, everyone knows where my money goes to....
*no prizes guessing where*

i've been doing much thinking these days, though i've tried not to.
the grey matter overwhelmed.
thoughts of optimism, now a buried past
in shades of grey, no clear stand.
awakened from the deep slumber,
time to make a change.

BUSY

continued from kosin's newest entry....
blogger and facebook are still having glitches...

Bumped into kosin and adeline at Taka while coming down the escalator.
then kosin shouted my name damn loud kaes. LOL
we talked for awhile about random stuffs that had gotten the security guard's interest.
he was staring at close proximity...
*thinks he wants to be part of our conv*
lol.

anyway, work is just down to four days...
and i can be back being my spoilt brat,
growing fat.
^^

Monday
was feeling exceptionally hyped for work.
largely because i'm having a day off on tuesday.
met up with jasper after work for dinner and movies.
watched Harry Potter....
hmm, personally i think it wasnt as bad as what i've heard from people who had watched.
maybe i went in with no expectations, or perhaps because i didnt read the book.
and jasper nearly got into a fight. =X

Tuesday
woke up at the wrong side of the bed...
left the house at 0900am when the medical appointment is at 0930.
wanted the withdraw cash, realised i didnt bring the atm card.
checked for cash, i only have 15bucks.
walked home again to get the card.
realised i didnt bring my nric while i was on the train.
didnt pass the nurse my appointment card after i had scanned for attendence.
and the nurse BROADCASTED my name. =/

and after the appointment, i went Science Centre...
thinking novena is very near to jurong east.
OMG, it was an hour ride on the train.
went for Da Vinci's exhibition... EYE-OPENING....
i particularly liked da vinci's talent in the arts.
the 25 secrets of mona lisa, the last supper, etc.
spent about 3 hours in the exhibition.

decided to check out Bugis Iluma.
and i was disappointed. There's really nothing there.
dined at this HLX Fusion resturant for fushion burgers.
sweet and sour pork burger, etc.
was a fine lunch.

All these in one day, alone. ^^
i'm so proud of myself, at not getting lost. =)

pics will be up soon, hopefully.
2022pm pledge moment. i wonder why...

didnt he say he will be back?

thE JuLy bAbiEs

did something really guilty...
i took half a day off from work... TGIF'd
=x

was on the train home from half-day work and got a call from ysz.
he prolly understands that i'm a complete retard when it comes to smsing with my LG fone.
and so we met up at 330pm.

went vivo to hunt for pat and gary's presents.
and we went Sushi Tei for lunch ^^
we shared.... 5 pcs of salmon, yellowtail and tuna belly sashimi each + soba + red dragon roll (sashimi over sushi wrapped round fried king prawn) + many many cups of green tea.
it was a 50bucks lunch just for two. =x
we had a mini fight over where we should put the salmon sashimi.
think we can apply for the sushi tei membership and stuff ourselves with sashimi.
and i had so many cups of green tea that he said i'm turning green.
lol.

ysz suggested taking a bus to orchard and changing a train to Raffles Place.
we said "eh great! NR6 goes to orchard!"
then we sat and waited for NR6 for about 15mins.
to realise....................
NR = Night Rider.
OMG
then we hopped on to this other bus to orchard.

then after some time...
me "errrr.... where are we?"
ysz looks around.... "errrr..... river valley?"
and we laughed like mad.
kosin smsed "i reached already"
=x.

minds cafe.
yes, long lost randy did come after all. ^^
Lol.
we bought Pat a RiverIsland belt, a Bacardi for Gary.
Lol.
it was insanely fun till 1200am!
and yes, we cabbed home =x

Thanks for showing up!
Kosin, Shaozhi, Gary, Patrick, Robin, Randy, Shaun, Wenhui, Alvina.

brb... i need to do my billing to calculate my total expenditure yesterday.
dreads~~~~~~~~~~~




you shouldnt have asked.
so you'll never have to know.
but if so, i'll never get to see how much i mattered to you.

the change in atmosphere,
your change in expressions,
made me extremely overjoyed but nevertheless guilty at soul.

your little gestures.
and your little compromises.
i'll appreciate and treasure them all.

;)

Drum Lessons 1

i'll prolly be still living in the weekends for the coming Monday.
because the weekends were awesome.

FRI Night/ Wee hours of SAT
we celebrated Father's Day at 2am with a D24 Durian Cake from emicakes, and KFC feast.
and yes, i slept right after the feast.
i can feel the fats


SAT
met up with the ex-co for a morning meeting @ Plaza Sing.
Shopped around for wooden pegs for recruitment drive.
and shop around Plaza Sing before deciding on how to spend the weekend.
bought a mag and his coke.

and so, i became a guinea pig for being the first drum student.
picked up some drum skills, which according to my tutor, are really basic skills (which i tend to disagree).
It's really tough to synchronise the left hand with right hand and then right hand with right leg without left hand and constantly repeat this cycle.
According to my tutor, i can repeat at most 6 sets, which i think was really bad.
hahaha.
i'm good with rolling on snare and toms though =)
we did a D.A.I song (which i cant rmb the title now) at Largo
=x
and my tutor had his concert with a repertoire of songs all at my will, before lesson.
didnt want to under-estimate so i chose all the difficult songs with the insane rolls and never-ending double pedals. =x
but well, he got his revenge too later, that explains the muscle aches that i'm having today.

that night, i dreamt of myself getting lost @ Haji Lane.
Think i saw Christopher Lee in the dream, totally random.
and seriously, WHY HIM?
*vexed*


SUN
cut my hair.
Did crafting.
living in Saturday.
Finished the durian cake.
had gastric pain.
practised the drum skills.


MON (FORESEEN)
living in the weekends.


that confidence.
that seriousness.
you in a different light.

the sanity

TGIF'd ^^

went to work this morning with only one thing to look forward to...

which is "after work" =)

met up with ysz after work for dinner and movie.

we watched "Monsters Vs Aliens"... okay, we arent very sane people to start with.

and oh! we love Bob =) sucha cutie.

the movie was dumbfun.

as all lazy people, we cabbed home.

YAY

got a bulk order for birthday cards (X10) from KahNing.

Thanks bud (though he wouldnt be reading this)

some extra pocket money before payday.... ^^

The underpass from Orchard MRT to wisma (near forever 21) is now ready.

now the journey to ngee ann city seemed so much shorter and birds-free...

P.S. kosin u can consider using this underpass when u are shopping at orchard. =)

GSS is here.

i'm thinking of getting... ...

# an acoustic-electric

# new earpiece or ipod classic

# more clothes

SHOPPING BUDDY NEEDED AFTER PAYDAY =)

i miss school

X-Men Origins - Wolverine

took a break from all the mugging
accompanied Sz to orchard to get some of his stuffs.
and ended the day with X-Men Origins: Wolverine
i think it was a pretty good movie
Hugh Jackman reprises the role that made him a superstar ^^
And yes, i didnt know that there was such a story behind the name Wolverine. Interesting.
But the story is seemingly similar to another movie which i cant remember the title, i.e. the experiments on mutants/ humans.
pretty worth it for a weekend movie.
-cuz no one else can do Wolverine the way Hugh Jackman did. ^^

orchard was pretty empty for a weekend.
but while you are walking out after the movie, you know where the crowd is.
had thought of visiting yy @ taka, but i'm already back at dhoby ghaut.
Other time, mate!

will work doubly hard tmr to make up for today's loss.

4 days to first paper
yes, the examination notice is still nowhere.

rawrrr

School's been tough this week.
But the company is nevertheless, motivating and hilarious
with Shane volunteering himself to do a countdown to exams on msn, in weeks, days, hours and minutes.
I'll stay away from my lappy.

Skipped half the math lec on last sat cuz it feels retarded.
Coming to think of it, i'm feeling guilty already.
Met up with Sz after his half-day work and lunch-ed.
Then went to collect his speakers and dropped them off at my place
and then accompanied him to Suntec to oversee some matters.
That night, celebrated my mum's birthday @ Serangoon Country Club
How eventful.

Something's wrong..
The things we know.
But we'll not talk about it.
Let alone deny it.
Nobody else has to know.

tralalalala-lala-lala

i totally adore kosin!
we had such senseless fun that night
that i secretly didnt wan to go home.
*this is in hope that she wun post that unglam pic*
LOL

BREAK-THOSE LEGS Episode 3 of many more to come

SUNDAY

shopped around the town area and Vivo with sz
he was a happy man (since he's gotten his Boris and Pink Floyd) but i couldnt find my Haggard.
and he was totally in awe of my sense of direction.
=x

THE SENSELESS FUN

• We were like crazy (yet lost) kids playing with the escalators (i.e. walking up and down)
• Bursting into hysterical laughter while trying to read the chinese characters on the menu of Kim Gary Restaurant.
• He was nuts enough to try Coke+SALTED Lemon (imagine a combi of sweet+sour+salty, which tasted like coke+liquorice... i hope he's feeling fine today. LOL)
• And he would love to try "Egg in boiled milk" if not for his test today.
• and i think he got drunk of an overdosage of beef... I couldnt find a better excuse for his exceptionally 'high' behaviour. LOL.
• Went vivo skypark, sit and watch the sky with an ipod plugged in for 1-2hours.
• And he actually suggested that walking to sentosa is a viable option after 5 hours of shopping in town.
• went national geographic shop and amused ourselves.

and many many more.... Lol

And yes, i've pulled a muscle on my right leg... I'm on knee guard limping to school. awww.

friday was fun ^^

tiffany and i walked over to np for lunch
realised it was their open house day.
and they have a new makan place!
strolled around the school
and the ushers offered us their goodie bags =S
guess i haven changed much after graduating for 3 years from sec school.

went home to take a nap before meeting sz for dinner after his class
and went orchard to shop and he brought me to secret cd haunts.
went to our fav cd shop - the "classy" that cd shop ^^
held his "Record Collector Mag" hostage. =x
attempted to walk from orchard to dhoby ghaut
Given that he hadnt slept for 3 days and i had woke up early.
mid way through, we ended up at the eatery near Le Meridien to sit and chill.
Lol!
aint much of a shopper.

jazz music.
curtains.
arm chair.
side table.
red wine.
friends.

NYE Countdown 2008/2009 @ Vivo

HAPPY 2009!

Went for the NYE Countdown @ VivoCity.
with the party clique: Sz, Randy and Gary.
The crowd wasnt as big as i've expected.
maybe we didnt walk all the way into the heart of the celeb.
or maybe its channel 8's celeb.

Anyway, the company was great!
Funny as ever!!
got to see glimpses of the fireworks from Siloso and Vivo.
HAHA!

chilled around Vivo
nonsensical chat with never-ending laughter.
and cabbed home together in a taxi with KARAOKE system!
the speakers were uber! BASS
Pic below, taken with shaky hands =x



other pics with gary~

/edit
i always got a little emo towards the end of every fireworks session
and i thought i was the only one until i read kosin's blog post.
LOL.


till the next NYE Countdown~

Chillout - Class Gathering 2008

Met up with Sz to go for the Class Gathering together.
24 turned up for the gathering! much credits to Jiemin for coordinating...
and... RANDY TURNED UP!





after the dinner @ Manhattan Fish Market..
we had wanted to go Timbre @ Old School.
But there was a long queue and too many of us...
so we went Alps Cafe instead...
where the whole fun started.
LOL!

played cards, dice
had martini and sips from beer, green monster, margarita-s, etc.
cabbed home with Sz, Gary and Justine.
In a way, its more of seeing Gary home.
Lol.
=x

right up next,
NEW YEAR COUNTDOWN 2009.
somebody tell me how to prepare the mind and heart for school?
lol.

Art teachers in demand.

Ahh
forgot to wish Sz virtually ytd.

virtually,
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY Mr YSZ!

lol. as though he'll be reading this...
Wishing you long hols, so we can have more jolly-FUNtastic good time together!
LOL! What kind of wish is that?

Ah
this christmas... like all other years,
received a card from Man Ning! =)
yaqin claimed to send a card (which was never received) Lol!
colin made a card (virtually) thats pretty sweet of him. =)

dozens of smses (even from unexpected people. hahaha)
but edmund's sms was really the most original one
it goes like this... ...
Santa cant get car loan this christmas, lost house to lehman and madoff, sold his reindeer and retrenched his elves, but i'm still around to wish you, Merry Christmas!
HAHA

... ...

okay random.
was talking about ipods with Sz.
was telling him "eh how come i never see my cyan-coloured ipod on the apple website"
and he said i can prolly donate to the ipod museum cuz its EXTINCT.
=/
and i thought it was limited edition.

--- ---

met up with Sz on 26th
to paint the gift for the gift exchange
Lol!
For some reason or another, i think we should just take a look @ my work.
LOL


---------

till then.

wEeeeeEEEEeee

Met up with Sharyl and Cheryl for lunch yesterday
then went up RE to say hi to Michelle, Wendy, Eliz
they are still funny as ever!

After that went Kino to shop around.
the queue was LONGGGG.
looked around for books while Sz made his way from school to join me in looking for the class gathering $4.30 gift exchange.
Finding a $4.30 gift aint an easy job.
THANKS ARH JIEMIN!
hahaha.

so we walked around Cine and Heeren
He got a couple of cds from HMV.
then walked to Plaza Sing where he had caused a "minor" accident to a passerby.
and it was UBER FUNNY!
epic.

had loads of dumb fun @ spotlight while trying to find $4.30 gift.
Lol.
and well, we found it! =)

Aftermath of all the walking, legs were uber tired upon reaching home.
It's kinda weird, cuz there wasnt any lethargy while shopping around.
WEAK.

Today has been pretty fruitful.


Went for lec in the morn w/o Tiff since she's sick.
TC kays!
Lec was alright but a test will be coming up.

Initial Plan.
1) Was supposed to meet Sharyl for lunch (but she's having biz meeting and so it was postponed to maybe Monday)
2) After lunch, was supposed to meet Sz for last min potluck shopping

Change of Plan.
So, met up with Sz for lunch @ AMK Hub.
then headed off to rip from his "PRECIOUS". =)
where we were totally won over by his mighty speakers.
Then he came over my place for me to put down/ pick up some stuff before heading to Giant Tampines to get the remaining Potluck stuff.
Gotten the stuff, then had dinner @ CP Mac.

The Mega Mcspicy was UBER spicy.
got a feeling that i might lose my voice (again).
Noooooooo pls. I need the vocals for tmr and Sunday.
Gulped cups of plain water + vit c tablets.

POTLUCK'S TMR
POTLUCK'S TMR

HANGOUT

HAHA

yesterday was fun with Kosin and Yy.

was online in the morning checking out weekend bazaars (though not something that i do every weekend)

Came across a number of events.

1) B&J Chunk Fest @ Fort Canning Green

2) Fossil Sale @ Suntec Convention

3) Borders Sale @ Expo

4) Fox Sale @ WingTai Ind Centre

5) Blue Canyon Co Annual Sale @ Grand Plaza Park Hotel

And so, pm to date kosin.

So we met up @ CityHall MRT

Went for the Blue Canyon Co. Annual Sale.

A*F, Junk Food, etc.

But doesnt really suit us.

Shopped ard Marina and Citylink for Kosin's shoes (still cant find suitable ones. lol), bought a shirt

Then Yy came along to join us

Dined @ Ministry of Food

The Ramen was good.............

Had senseless fun with the dessert and the "video-purpose"

Went Esplanade, watched a performance and sat @ the roof terrace to talk LIFE
LOL.

The Christmas Tree @ Suntec was pretty!

Let the pics do the talking.

It's kind of a coincidence where the three of us will always meet up during the Christmas season!

Gathering n Appreciation Night

Finally turned up for the Gathering and Appreciation Night on Wed night in school.
Jokko was nice enough to go school early (LOL, i bet he's afraid i fly kite again)
saw a couple of familiar faces - Clara, Jokko, David, Liyi, Chai Lee, Poniman, Eujene, Edmund.
It's kinda funny.

At every meeting we attend, we had to do self-intro and play ice-breakers, cuz we are constantly seeing new faces. It's not that the club's having more and more people joining, it's because of people who are like me - turned up for one and mia the whole month. =x
Anyway, ice-breakers were balls of fun!
We had this egg-protector game where we had to drop an egg from 4th storey and not break it.
Supplied with newspaper scraps, straws, rafia and toothpick.
Much Credits to Colin (who was invited by Eujene for this gathering) and GuCheng for the idea.
we won (much to our surprise too) =)
and Ben's really cute. =x LOL!

Took a bus to dover mrt with chai lee to head home.
Train-ed home then.
Colin was pretty nice to entertain me on my journey.
hahaha

Was randomly telling friends about the Starbucks event.
And so, Sebas was saying he's meeting up his mentor on next wed.
What a coincidence! I'm meeting my mentor too next fri.
hahaha.

Pals in poly having exam frenzy
where sz, yy, pat went bonkers! =x
All the best for the exams!

Ohh.
Just another week to Potluck!
=)
i've yet get the supplies. =x
and am praying hard for sz as well for his ftt.
HAHA.

Talking about coincidences

Last Weekend.
was very well-spent.
bumming ard at home and trying to catch up with the overdued econ tutorial.
how fun.


Went Chomp Chomp for dinner with the cousins (:
and guess who i saw....
I saw Fabian and Sebas!
This is weird, but i've got a feeling that I would bump into Sebas before it really did happened.
Anyway, the food is awesome as ever!
Maybe we should go there for dinner after the potluck thingy.
=)

It's December already.
And according to the UOL study strategies book.
We ought to start doing papers!
omg.
But i'm already in a Christmas mood~
*Soon it will be Christmas Day*

Eventful

yesterday was pretty eventful.

lunch-ed with Tiffany @ Mega after class.
Sat there and chatted with her from 12 till 2pm.
hahaha.

brought my lappy to school.
to keep me company @ Tay Eng Soon Library while waiting for Yy's event to start.
Tried to load Southpark videos, and it wouldnt load. =/
And everyone else in the library were MUGGING.
i can foresee my year 2- life.
Lol.
Anyway, stayed there and blog-hopped, read CNA, BBC, Forbes, Economist.
As you can see, i'm really bored.
Left the library at approx 3pm.



Yy took me to dunnoe-where in the school to take a look @ his window display (as above)
Pretty well-done huh.
On the way there, we passed by Canteen 1.
Where I coincidentally saw Sz

Supported Yy's event by buying a shirt for my bro.
Sz came along for the event where Yy asked him to support the event too.
Lol. but it was really at a wrong timing cuz Sz had just bought $130 worth of txtbks.
Anyway, hope that his sales were good.
And saw Shirmain too.

bus-ed with Sz since we are going the same direction home.
Went Starbucks @ CP to chill.

the promise of marriage vows
not on the grounds of love or eternal companionship
cant sink deeper, a need to stay afloat.
