School's back! after 10 months of slacking.

Finally school's back! So excited to hit the books again. OMG, nerd tendencies flowing through my veins again. Kind of caught up in the fray to login, sign up and register for everything. NUS has such a bad system of registering. It may be an online kind of thing but which sane 18-21 year old person goes and regularly refreshes the NUS undergrad page? Lousy i tell u! Horrible! can't they just do it the old fashion snail mail method? that way we get hard copies and black and white so nobody can actually miss out doing something.

This is the time where most of the parents are also getting anxious. Mine aren't. They like "Bochap". Dunno la, maybe coz i dun usually tell them about my life. Heh. I think it's really better to settle things by urself. However, once in a while, you just wanna run back to ur parents to do things for u, like buying stuff. =)

Seriously i'm running out of stuff to blog about.
Sigh.

*EDIT after seeing Ja's Blog*
Oh ya! Let me tell you about a game called MONOPOLY. And how I won my 2 besties at it. Eloera and Jacinta were like so fun to play Monopoly with me. I need to raise up a few points to correct Ja's blog post. I didn't have 5 million Hotels, i had 1 million. And my luck was horrid. I stepped on Eloera's Raffles Place Hotel like ONCE?! Anyway, it was damn fun owning the 2 of them at Monopoly. No hard feelings ya? hehe...

You have stolen my heart.

Emo YT today.
There's a song that only recently started playing in my head. Yet, i feel as if it has been playing for the longest time. I'm really thankful for meeting Spartans and helped me make life oh so much funner.

Dashboard Confessional--Stolen

We watch the season
Pull up it’s own stakes
And catch the last weekend
Of the last week
Before the gold and the *glamour* have been replaced
Another sun soaked season fades away

You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart

Invitation only
Grant Farewells
Crash the best one
Of the best ones
Clear liquor and cloudy eyed
Too early to say goodnight

You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart

And from the bar room floor
We are in celebration
One good stretch before our hibernation
Our dreams assured and we all
Will sleep well
Sleep Well

Sleep Well
Sleep Well
Sleep Well

you have stolen
you have stolen
you have stolen my heart

Watch you spin around
In your highest heels
You are the best one
Of the best ones
We
All
Look
Like
We
Feel


you have stolen my
you have stolen my
you have stolen my heart

Wilde Wild Walas

Today was like the biggest Spartan OG gathering since the end of Union Camp. It was the screening of Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix @ Marina Square GV Plaza Singapura. Great work to the organisers of Union Camp for Mass mailing every damn soul the wrong movie location. 100 marks for emergency response! Told us about the mix up like 40mins before the start of the movie at 4pm.

Shopped at Topman and got 2 tops. Nice stripey stripey shirt courtesy of Eloera's taste(dun say i nvr thx u), and another offer item which is a dark green shirt. Tried aviator shades at topshop/topman and none could really fit me so i didn't get one.

Harry Potter was such a Potty show(no link). Stupid stupid stupid. Boring boring asleep. But it's worth the 2 dollars i paid for it. Seriously, the director had too much to live up to from the previous shows of the series. Hence it was a flop compared to them. Like Douglas said,"We have something Voldemort doesn't, a nose."

After boring Potter, we had dinner at the Kopitiam juz below the Plaza Singapura GV. Then we stood around deciding whether to go arcade/bowling/Walas. I dunno wad's up with big groups not being able to decide what to do and have to stand around and take up 95% of the walkway. It's juz so weird how everyone seems to do that. Maybe some trend...

Finally we decided, some went bowling and others, like me, went to Wala Wala at Holland V.

Walas was SUPER DUPER FUN!

Nice ambience and cool songs with live band. We faked the band into believing it was Si Min's Birthday and made Douglas the scapegoat. Damn funny, all the songs the band sung revolved around Douglas, Si Min and Tonight. I ended up getting beaten by the rest of the guys. The reason? Coz i sat in the middle. =.= But the nice lead singer sang me a song.

Walas ended with a limbo under the gantry and a 7-11 trip. Took Kim Hai's Kangoo to Boon Keng then shared cab home.

What a fun night!
=)

The story of a fair boy turning tanned.

First Spartan outing @ Sentosa followed by steamboat and pool till the wee hours of the morning. I was carrying around a bloody virus in my body that gave me an anal voice with a constipated throat. Phelgm and mucus and a leaky nose was the order of the day, but i didn't care.

Sentosa had like 16 of us going down to Siloso beach. Playing beach volleyball, swimming, sun tanning, fondue binging and games! Beach volleyball was da thing la. Super fun but most of my og mates not v pro so had a hard time playing a GG but it was still nevertheless fun. I tanned myself to a crisp brown colour after 3 days of pool, sentosa and war games during union camp and sentosa yesterday. Now i look like some freshly baked bread from the oven. My back was peeling and revealing an inner flesh which was baby pink and looked like it was still in a stage of growth. Then yesterday go sun tan and made it look like medium steak.

I realised that sun tanning is a v good form of gossip exchanging. I mean you just sit there and wait for the sun to work it's magic so you prolly got nothing else to do right?

So you turn to ur left/right and juz chatting with the other person about life and how it sux if u have a hammer for a throat and stuff. So you go on chatting about people, how that female looked so male from the back view and all things under the sun.

Also, sea water and sand is an evil concoction from hell. It's like giving gigantic meatballs legs to walk about and terrorise people with sinful amounts of fat. Sea sand(that's wad i call it) have the ability to hide in the worse places. Rear aperture, gonads and whatnot. Giving me a itch from the high heavens and it'll be ultimately embarassing to be seen scratching my family jewels like a dog.

Camera whoring was the order of the day. Douglas is in first place since like, forever. Whoring everyone's camera, OOOH! my eyes! they're burning! Well, i muz admit i did do a fair amount of whoring on the cameras too. //Off topic, if the plural of amoeba is amoebae, den should camera be camerae?\\ Anyway, it's good to camera whore btw, it provides you with the daily nutritional requirements of vitamins and carbo. Shytes, i'm really crapping. I'm sorry but i'm sick to the core and cut me some slack, here i am, sick and tired and still blogging like xiaxue(don't worry i bought the rights).

After sentosa we did a 100km trek to the nearest toilet to bathe and change up to get ready for the steamboat at 1830. Well, that was the plan, but the 100km trek took longer than expected so we left sentosa island at 1829 according to Christina. And then we had a competition, some of us took the train from Harbourfront>Outram>Cityhall>Marina and the others took Harbourfront>Douby Ghaut>Marina. So we found out that' the outram way is so much faster than the Douby Ghaut way. Super bo liao...

Finally we settled down for dinner at Marina Bay with 8 tables and 8 steamboat machines. Had lots of uncooked chicken, beef and other stuff. My group made a super good herbal chicken soup that tasted like something from a Cantonese restaurant. So we had lots of fun right. We play games while eating, loser to eat more food. And also celebrated Eloera's Birthday with a nice fruitcake with mango and cream with strawberries on top. Played a couple of lame games and whatnot before packing up for group photos and then some left for home.

The rest of the Spartans who were deserted by those, ended up... PLAYING POOL! Too bad my sickness acted up like a jack-in-a-box so i decided to leave early. I sucked big time at pool due to my leaking face and horrendous voice clogged with phelgm. But i did manage to sink a chip shot.

Well, thx Spartans for the wonderful 1st outing! Many more to come! Check it check it!

Till den, i'll see u in the future.(beep)

The crossroads in life.

Yesterday i went for Lincoln's party over at Settler's in Clarke Quay. You can't begin to imagine how many board/card games they have over there. My group played
1)Poison, a card game where the aim is to not get poisoned.
2)First Hand, a reaction based hand game which players have to mimic hand patterns shown on the cards.
3)Acquire, a turn-based money making stock game which took awhile for us to learn but it was fun. Too bad the 2 girls playing with us had to leave early, if not i'll be super rich. =P
4) The last game before we left the place was called Gershankt. It's a card game where you choose to pass(Gershankt means No, Thank you in German) or take the card with the number of points on it. The one with the lowest points wins.

Lincoln was such an A-hole for asking everyone to come at 7pm when the party started at 8. There was this acquintance i know who is also Linc's friend, came at 7pm and waited all the way until 745 for Lincoln to finally come. Anyway, me, Amos and Jeremiah came at 730 coz we knew about the timing. =)

Anyway, the party was really fun with all the games to play...
After Settler's, a handful of his 70 gang of Black friends(dress code was totally black) went to Cafe Iguana to have some drinks. Jeremiah had 2 mugs of beer and was a bit tipsy while the 2 mugs had no effect on Glen and Amos. We walked around Clarke Quay until about 3+ before we took a cab home. The bloody taxi uncle we're in was driving at 160km/h at 1 point on the ECP. And he was going on and on about how the government is corrupt and stuff like that. I'm lucky i'm still living after that trip home. =P

2 Days more to my Union camp. I wonder whether i should be excited and happy about meeting new people and having fun before my uni life starts. I just feel that i really want to come out differently this time in uni for the next 4 years rather than the 6 years in secondary school/JC where pple misunderstood me.

Wierd post today, but nevertheless, it's still a post.

Did you know? I didn't...

Spent like 4 Hours reading useless trivia off the internet today morning. And my cousin came for a surprise visit from Malaysia. How boring can my day get? Sorry i had to cancel a meeting today coz of my cousin. So here's some trivia!






Did You Know...
That the measurement for the speed and movement direction of a computer mouse is called a mickey? One mickey (mouse) is approximately 1/200th of an inch.

GIYD : "Google It You Dumbass" (pronounced "GUIDE")
GIYF : "Google Is Your Friend", or "Google It You Fucker"
GLOG : "Go Look On Google"

PICNIC : "Problem In Chair Not In Computer"

The real name of "the" Bill Gates is William Henry Gates III. Nowadays he is known as Bill Gates (III). By converting the letters of his current name to the ASCII-values and adding his (III), you get the following:

I 73
L 76
L 76
G 71
A 65
T 84
E 69
S 83
I 1
I 1
I 1
--------------
666 !!!


Some might ask, "How did Bill Gates get so powerful?" Coincidence? Or just the beginning of mankind's ultimate and total enslavement???
Before you decide, consider the following:


M S - D O S 6 . 3 1

77+83+45+68+79+83+32+54+46+50+49 = 666


W I N D O W S 9 5

87+73+78+68+79+87+83+57+53+1 = 666


Coincidence? You decide..

The day i did the trash.

Today was one of those days.
Days which happens rarely, it happens so rarely that i need to actually blog about it. Days just pass by normally for everyone else, but it's special only to someone who knows what this day is special about. That's why today is special to me, coz...
I did some housekeeping.

Like how Stan from Southpark would put it,"Oh my god! He done the housework!" Har har har, very funny. Well, i'm a organised guy. I like my things organised. I like the way they look straight up and not upside down. I like my books to be placed at an angle to prevent them from falling. I like my room to be dust free. I like my clothes to be separated for the occasions i wear them for.

Yes, i'm a half-perfect perfectionist. And i'm a procrastinator too. Those 2 doesn't really mix well but yea, that's me.

Why do i say i'm a procrastinator?
Remember on Sunday when i said i'll start getting back on my exercise regime? Well, i didn't. I procrastinated until today which i did some pushes and sits and a run. I even joined a Facebook group called,"Procrastinators UNITE! Tomorrow." And i have been going on and on about packing my room until i finally did it today.

*Cues the Hallelujah! music*
That's why i said today is such an important day. It's a day that will go down into History.(I'm so exaggerating this)

Anyway, today i'm watching the first season of Grey's Anat and like everyone else, i'm getting hooked onto New-age American Serials. It's a nice show like a reality series in the ops room.

So here's where my 750 bucks has gone to. I so wanted this pair of specs since secondary school. I first saw it in Parkway Parade but it was far too expensive for me to afford. But i finally got it with my birthday money. =)

So do remember this day. As today is the day where Yin Theng did his chores. ;)

Transform! CHiEEE...KE..ke kikikikiki! *SLP*

WARNING SLP!(Super Long Post)

Here's the deal. Transformers = MUST WATCH FULL STOP!
I caught it twice, Terrence caught it twice, Jeremiah caught it twice, Jean Danker said, "It's worth watching it twice."(Courtesy of Terrence for telling me) So i think it's worth watching it at least once.
I watched it on Monday night with my P. school mates, we meet up every monday for like 2 months now. I really like my primary school friends, a bunch of cool pple who bother to take time out to meet up with their friends are hard to find nowadays. Really it isn't hard to keep in contact with those friends/acquintances. All it needs is some contact(duh!) and a little bit of luck.

Anyway, today i went out with dear Mei Lin to shop some stuff for me, end up with her buying yet another pair of flats. =.=
I got this really cool Hawaiian Motif board shorts from Ripcurl at like $89.(I'm such a spendthrift) I now currently own 3 white and 2 black board shorts with only 1 pair of legs.

I also got rid of a 1000 dollar note today by paying for my new Oakley Titanium frameless spectacles.(Super spendthrift) So all this money i'm spending. I was thinking maybe i should start doing some accounting. Yeah right...

Today i tried to ask Mei Lin something i have been thinking about for a long time. How do i actually sound like?

I'm sure you guys wonder that too. Have you ever tried taping yourself down and listen to your own voice? You'll be like... "That's not me."
However, listening to your own voice through a tape recorder and through yourself is not the same as how other pple listen to you. I don't really know the specifics about how it works but yea, it doesn't sound the same.

So when we were outside Wisma today i asked her, you know wad she say?

"Oh, you sound like... er... A MASCULINE DONALD DUCK."

Quack quack quack...

Quit laughing and listen.
Anyways, back to Transformers. It's superb, wonderful, a masterpiece. I really like the action and the CGI of the show. Good enough to make me watch it twice in 3 days. Really you should catch it if you haven't. It's like a childhood dream come true if you know what i mean. To see Optimus Prime and Megatron duel it out in full CGI glory. Really good stuff. You can even see the dent in Optimus' head after the fight!
Oh, and btw, CHiEEE... Ke kikikikiki! is the transforming sound i coined up... haha!

Off to watch prison break.
Out.

Sentimental Guy.

Spent the whole day watching this anime called Fate Stay Night. It's v nicely done with a good plot and interesting characters. However, it's a bit too short for me. After watching the show, i felt so empty... So lost.

Basically i feel that way about almost everything which ends before i think they should end. Like 3 part movies, short animes and half a dozen of oysters. It just make me feel melancholic and sad after it is finished.

Well, i'm sure some people won't believe me but i'm a very sentimental guy. I'm feeling quite empty after Fate Stay Night ended at the moment, so pardon my wierd post. Anyway, i should be off getting some sleep so i can restart my exercise from tomorrow onwards.
