wake-up-call-to-stay-sane entry

*was never part of the foam cans era, and prolly too overaged to play with them now*

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.

i cant find "un-dumb" things to blog about and MN will understand this perfectly.

Before i start the usual rantings...
Read the blog title.
Lol.

Birthday wishes for the two birthday boys of 20th Nov...
Happy Belated Birthday Jonathan!
May you look as edible as Mian Bao Chao Ren!

Happy Belated Birthday Kanin Manomaiwong!
So when are you coming to Sg to visit us?! Lol.

Wed was an unexceptional smiley day.
was punctual for poa (finally~)
pbf was as usual [saw freddy :) and dun remind me of the test]
had skipped the club meeting. =x
and i've got a heavy downpour in return.
macritchie, hougang, serangoon, sengkang, bishan...
my waterproof barney never fails and never disappoints though :)

was chatting to Randy over smses on the bus journey home.
so he was asking if my club meeting is on every wed.
then i said on a fortnightly basis, so two weeks from now, make yourself avail from 3-7.
then he went "wa two weeks from now i having my exam, lol. one month from now instead? since i'm having my holiday"
So i reckoned my next appearance @ meeting would be in Jan since one month later i'm having hols too.
lazylazylazy. =x
and he asked about my NEXT doc's appt.
looks like i cant run away...

Today (totally random)
math was alright, but he's touching on integration soon (dreads~)
saw Magpalene and Vincent.
saw FY @ atrium today too,
where he tried very hard to get us join lacrosse (i forgot how it was spelt). Lol!
there's something about him which makes people very comfortable and cheery chatting with him.

had plans to meet friends up for lunch after class.
but, FYP robs me of my lunchmates.
sobsobs.
was casually smsing to direct my attention off the lengthy bus ride...
and learnt that bus 156 coincidentally sends randy, sz, cynthia and me home from schools.
totally random.

in love with: Metallica's ... And Justice For All.
it's a 9.46mins song
but with that kind of guitar riffs and drums variations.
you'll keep wanting more =)

Did that fever just made me dumber?

The Class Gathering was finally crystallised.

And had Zoee, Patricia to help out with the organisation and coordination.

Yay. So we'll meet up in a month's time!

Meanwhile, keeping my fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong.

And so, i'm picking up my red crumpler tmr! Yea I know kinda late to get the crumpler now since 3/4 of the teens alrdy got it... but this is the only bag that goes with all outfits without making too much fashion mistakes. LOL. If you know me well enough, you know i'm obviously finding excuses to convince myself buying the crumpler is WORTH that kind of money. And, i refused to handcarry my lappy to school (though i dont need a lappy for school, but i want to bring it along to entertain me before club meetings). Okay, i'm still finding better excuses. I've already named my crumpler before it's in my arms. Now, meet BARNEY. It's actually named after its model - Barney Rustle Blanket... Ah i can totally imagine what Jasper will say, "no sense of originality"... Karma~ i've been using that on him for a thousand times i guess. =x

Next episode... i'm down with fever + flu + throat burning sensation + blocked nose for the past 3 days after catching a cold on Fri late hours/ Wee Hours of Sat. Anyway.... the main thing is i'm feeling very unbalanced after ytd.

Ytd... went school as usual... met up with Shane to do the POA thingy (FINALLY BALANCED, but again balanced doesnt mean all correct, sad...). So we took bus 74 cuz he's going AMK and i'm going to my family doctor @ Hougang. So, on the journey he was telling me about SouthPark. Oops, i sidetracked. So i reached the clinic and was told that the doctor was ON HOUSE CALL. Wah! the one-hour journey for nothing~ So decided to visit the clinic at Compass Point. Trained home. Saw Jiawei @ Hougang Station. And it was very dramatic. Lol. When i saw him, i was 0.0 *tilted my head* he went 0.0 and tilted his head too! LOL. Like this, we walked half a circle. And then i heard the "train closing" message.... waved a "HELLO" then rushed to the train. LOL. Anyway back to the doctor-visit incident... Was given very normal med with mild antibiotics (the yellow with maroon capsules) and was charged a whooping 40bucks for a mild cold! And i thought i heard 30bucks. =/ Ripped off totally. And did i say, i lost my voice?

I need new songs~~~~

Random

Belle and Sebastian's lyrics are super hilarious.
Here's one.

I know Where The Summer Goes - B&S
I know where the summer goes
When you're having no fun
When you're under the thumb

I know where the summer dwells
If your underarm smells
And your kitchen looks like hell
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday.
First lec of the new mod - Maths.
The lecturer was super duper animated!
P.S prolly i wouldnt fall asleep for Friday's lec. =x
hahaha.
lec: whats your name?
boy: teckann (or smtg, i couldnt really catch)
lec: hmm. what do your friends call you?
boy: teckann
lec: your friends call you by your full name? I think you need new friends

LOL! *faints with laughter*
and much more... which i'm keeping till we meet up (. LOL.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday.
Met up with Jasper for breakfast @ CP Mac just before he goes for the 2 weeks sailing trip.
he's another super funny guy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i've just won a faceoff...
kosin voted me as.... most likely to tell the same story 5 times!
LOL. Man, she knows me well. =x
hahahahahas.

And this: http://speedtest.10-fast-fingers.com/
If and only if you are bored.
my results are far too embarrassing to be shown. Lol!

aftermath of B&S

Happy Belated Birthday Yiyang!
Me: Hey Yiyang, happy birthday.... wishing you not just a year older but a year better...
Him: wise words huh... lol.
Him: okay it's my birthday and i wish that..........EVERYONE GETS A DAY OFF TODAY! oh guess what? my wish came true :D

So i've got a day off from ECON on Monday, and since stat has ended, i had today (tue) off as well.. and i've been... studying! LOL. Credits to Tiffany. She went "it's just another 4 months to exams". I tried to forget what she had said...

Rediscovering the classics: Moulin Rouge and Chicago.....


Explored further into Belle & Sebastian (credits to joshua!)
They are my new favourites!
Please try the album: The Life Pursuit
The songs give a very weekend-chillout feel, those kindof songs Class95fm always play....
Disclaimer: Such happy songs causes hallucinations. I start to see yellow, pink and neon green flowers swaying in the wind with butterflies fluttering their wings and yellow birds chirping on trees. And before you know it, you start to hum the songs, smile like an idiot and dance around your room. The very next thing that is going to happen, you will start to buy yellow-neon pink-green things and ADORE your pink room.

Random Ramblings
hadnt been thinking very deeply these days. Maybe i've finally learnt to relish small pleasures in life. Or maybe, it's just effects of prolonged blasting of B&S on lappy. I dont really know. I had never liked my pink room (though some of my friends had gone ra-rahhh about it). And most importantly, i had never liked happy songs. So, whats really happening? I cant believe that I've a sudden thought of ditching metal songs for B&S kindof songs. (P.S. Sz would prolly kill his proud apprentice (yours truly) if he hears this. Lol.)

Lengthy

YAY!
the ELF spree stuff has finally arrived at my doorstep after waiting for 4 weekdays + 2 weekends.
and i'm waiting for another spree item to arrive. =/
I like to do online shopping.

i'm watching the anime Nodame Cantabile (sz's reco).

sz was saying that i had better watch this fast or it will be licensed like all his other recommendations. Lol.


Yesterday
The SIP@SIM bazaar is still on, i've taken a peek on my way to PBF lec from 4th storey.

=x
i need a solution.


Last Saturday
Me: Happy Birthday Jasper!
Jasper: You checked the friendster right?
Me: =x so you found out.
Jasper: Anyway, my birthday's on the 19th... but i've put it as 18th on friendster... to filter out friends who have no heart.
Me: !!! so you found out. LOL.
.
.
blahblah...
.
.
.
And in the end...
Jasper: Anyway, it's on 18th. =x
whatever happened to "with ns, boys become men"?

On days when you are bored, you guys might want to try this handwriting analysis... not as accurate as from the book i've read... but it's decent enough... Post the analysis on your blog too... http://handwritinglizard.com

Excerpts from my report....

• xY is very self-sufficient. She is trying not to need anyone. She is capable of making it on her own. She probably wants and enjoys people, but she doesn't "need" them. She can be a loner. (Lol, i'm self-sufficient?! loner?! aww, why does "loner" always have a negative connotation?)
• xY uses judgment to make decisions. She is ruled by her head, not her heart. She is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see her as unemotional. She does have emotions but has no need to express them. She is withdrawn into herself and enjoys being alone.
• xY is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to her, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of her sound judgment. She will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else (is that why i think i'm not empathetic?)

i had the weirdest dream ever. But in the dream, i saw the friends whom we hadnt met up ever since phs carnival back in aug 2006. Lets meet up as a class soon kaes!

been away

i got asked the same question twice in a day by 2 different people.
and so the question of the day is "Why the emo posts?"
And i dont really know why.
It's kindof easier for me to come up with emo sentences and in general i think people can better relate to emo-ness.
In any way, the world now preaches that "emo-ness is the new cool"
I need emo songs to post emo posts.
But, i'm not emo.
List of emo songs: Sally's Song, Alone, Windowpane, Patterns in the Ivy II, etc.

Past week
Past week had been pretty smooth, though i was late for all lectures. =x
####Wed: Had PBF, was deciding whether to turn up for the SIP meeting at night. Was at the bus stop with Shane.
Me: Man, i feel like going home and then maybe come again later.
Shane: Maybe? i think by the time you reached home, trust me, you'll be too lazy to come out.
Me: Lol, boy you are probably right.
I did went home and DID turned up for the night meeting, which was rather fun, pretty glad to see familiar faces around: David, Sai, Jason, Eujene, Pearl, Edmund, Jokko. The people there are kindof fun. Clara, Chai Lee, Li Yi, Ardy, Winson, Vincent.
Had planned to dine with Sebas after the meeting, but he had hall meeting @ 2200pm, while i end mine @ 2100pm, postponed~ Like he said, whenever we make plans, something will definitely screw the plans up.
####11/09: Happy Birthday ChekHow.
####28/09: Happy Birthday Daniel.

This week
####01/10: Hari Raya Puasa.
First time in 19 years, we kindof celebrated Hari Raya Puasa. First time after staying 10 years in the same apartment, our friendly neighbours brought us their Hari Raya Puasa delicacies.

MIRAGE V2.0

I'm lazy to think of a new blog address.
and even if i managed to think of a new blog address/user name/password...
i'll prolly not remember them.
just imagine how loose the screw up on my head is.

anyway, presenting....
THE VERSION 2 OF THE BLOG....
*tadah~*
which is, *drumroll* the same address.
=x

BUT NEVER QUITE THE SAME AS BEFORE.

home alone

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY SEBAS!
he wouldnt be reading this, but this is what i sent him via sms.
"now that you're in your twenties, nothing works better than having this wish from me. Stay young, at least young at heart."
he can laugh at me next year when i advance to my first twenty.
Man, it strikes fear.
hoping i can age gracefully and not do absurd things like "to clad myself in miniskirt with fishnet leggings/stockings when i'm in my 50s"
You will know what i mean if you had seen them around.

Yesterday.
was supposed to check out MOS with gary and dan.
but then, dan felt the company was a lil' small.
cancelled.
and had asked gary, jasper and sz if they were free to have dinner.
all replied late, and i had alrdy ordered pizza delivery.
had Pasta Mania Hawaiian Pizza and Garlic Bread for dinner.
mmm.
but the garlic bread was BAD.
wolfed down the personal pan thin crust pizza in 30mins.

today.
Mr Lucky YSZ gets to go to Dismember concert.
while i stayed home and watch videos.
having Mac's apple pie for dinner
and many MANY thanks to gary (yesterday) for indirectly reminding me that he stays near the famous/infamous Jln Kayu Prata House... now i crave for prata.

to forget is not to remove.
to forget is to create something new-
new memories with new people at once-so-familiar places
the smell of freedom and release.

desperate situation calls for desperate solutions.

Reply to the only recent comment... LOL
-> Gary: YARHHH. tsk. nvm, next week go for carom again. =x and weekday pls, so we can go for buffet. LOL.

nothing much.
took up an tuition assignment, which i had so regretted.
this p2 guy keep running around and has a screaming 2 year old bro.
i'm so not a kids-kindof-person, let alone a kids-entertainer
1.5hours feels like 3 hours can....
that close to tying the boy to the chair with correction tape.
dont ask why with correction tapes.
desperate situation calls for desperate solutions.
told mn about it, and she suggested CANE.
she's getting violent these days. WHATEVER HAPPENED IN US MN???
and if yq was me... she'll prolly bring a duct tape and super glue...
HAHAHA. just kidding, just trying to describe her BRAND of violence.
LOLLL.

seriously, what kind of trouble have i gotten myself into, again?
