Game of life. Life of games.

Mornings.

2008-12-10T09:12:00.003+08:00

I don't see them as much as i would like nowadays, given that after the final exams, some rest is in order, but my life now is filled with late night gaming, show watching or even quarrels to fuel my insomnaic ways.

Mornings are the best part of the day, everyone just up from bed, moving as slow or as steadily as they can through the rush hour (human) traffic of the house, the pedastrian roads and the mrt platforms. Mornings are cool, quiet and somewhat, peaceful. I like it that way, beats all that night's noise and incessant tv/computer/handphone beeps, boops, and bleeps.

I miss getting up early to see the rising of the sun, having a hot cup of tea to start my day. I usually dread it when i was back in school, but now, i sort of miss it.

Mornings.

Seeing into the future.

2008-10-11T02:19:00.002+08:00

Won't life be so much easier when you get to look into the future?

Won't she be there when the time comes?

The harder you try to take control of the sands of time, the more of it will slip through your fingertips. Life isn't about the amount of control, but rather, the balance, the simplicities of it. I rather like to take the backseat and let my destiny be in the hands of a higher being, and when the time comes, when it matters, step up, with all my life, to make my own destiny happen for me. Life is like that, if you try to control every aspect, you end up wasted. So take a breather, step back and enjoy the scenery, read a book, listen to music and be free from the monstrosities of time. Hopefully, only time will tell, at the end of the line, whether you have made the right choice.

To e with love.

2008-10-06T18:39:00.002+08:00

I will wait for the day you would hold me in your arms again.
I will wait for the day we get to laugh about silly things together.
I will wait for the day we chomp on good food at Honjin's.
I will wait for the day when we get to go on our first trip abroad. Ourselves.
I will wait for the day we can go take pictures from the Singapore Flyer.
I will wait for the day i can bring you for a picnic in Botanical Gardens.
I will wait for the day to tell you how much i love you.
I will wait for ther day i can treat your parents to steamboat.
I will wait for the day we can go rollerblading in ECP.
I will wait for the day when we could laze around, eat Ruffles sour cream and onion, and watch serials/movies/i survived a japanese gameshow.
I will wait for the day when you say yes every morning, when i ask you to be my girl.
I will wait.

Everyday.

Because i love you.

My first post on my eeepc 1000H

2008-09-15T23:56:00.001+08:00

I'm gonna post on my blog using my new eeepc 1000H.

"post."

2008-08-23T04:23:00.002+08:00

it's hard to see the light in a blizzard night.
hard to find the way without a map.
impossible to speak without a language.
yet, so easy to love with all of my heart.

it's 424am and i'm not asleep.
thinking of you till it hurts.
my withdrawal is too much for me to take.
i can't close my eyes now that i'm alone.
hoping that you're here, beside me.
you told me that it's hard to love someone and yourself at the same time.
it's true.

for i love you so much, that i forget about myself.
i'm not complaining, in fact, i'm glad.
that i never knew that i had so much capacity to love another.
so much strength to support.
so much compassion to care.

uevoli. my love. uevoli.

The Irony

2008-07-30T23:03:00.001+08:00

The irony is.

The one who tries so hard for everything in his life, yet doesn't try for the things that matter to him the most.

O the irony.

Tossing and Turning.

2008-06-08T03:57:00.002+08:00

The long awaited post arrives.
Not a moment too soon, not a moment too late.

Having trouble sleeping tonight.
I wonder why.

My hand is just being a crap ass.
Cramping all over with sick numbness that doesn't go away.

A stupid clicking in the distance that ignores the hell out of me.
Click, click, click, click...

The heat permeating through the bed and into my already warm body.
Trying as best to put my wasted soul to rest.

Tossing & turning like a fish out of the water.
Sleep @ 4am in the morning.

What's the matter?
A totally random post.
Not such a random one until you think about it.

Deprivation of sleep?
Or is it the gaining of extra hours awake?
You decide.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The cursor blinks constantly as i stare into blank space thinking of what to write in my blog entry since the longest period of hiatus. The clicking doesn't stop. Click, click, click. Since i last blogged, i've been to Bangkok and KL in a short span of 5 weeks since the start of the holidays. Recently thinking of scaling Mount Everest, going on a backpacking tour and quitting school altogether.

A mental blogger's block is setting in as i punch this letters on my keyboard. I struggle to fill this empty cavity of white space with a decent combination of perfectly synchronised words that would evoke any emotions from the reader, or deliver any of my own emotions to them. I struggle. Each letter, each keystroke gets harder and slower to type. My morning breath has just started to exude through my oral cavity as i slogged to come up with something decent in this post. Yet, i feel like this is total bull.

20 minutes. 20 minutes i have taken to type this totally random and useless post which serves no other purpose but to make me as tired and as mentally drained as possible so that i can go to sleep. But is this 20 minutes enough? or do i only need something else? Why is there so many questions in this blog post of mine? I would like to know too.

I just want to sleep the day away. 24 hours. That's what i need to recharge, to cleanse, and to purge the devils within my soul. Yet, i can't get it. A neverending 24 hours of sleep would be comatose to my life. A 24 hour sleep. Hmmm... I yearn for it, but would never attain it.

Dear reader, do not take my words to heart. do not believe what you see is actually the truth. a writer does not write for the sake of writing, he writes to deliver. he writes with such fervour in order to show something, to prove a point. so read it slowly, carefully, but decipher the meaning of this passage to understand the truth, the meaning of this reckless and totally meaningless and random post.

... as i put down my soul to rest. all is well, all is well.

The candleflame wanes.

2008-05-06T16:33:00.001+08:00

The candle burns.
The candle shortens.
The candleflame wanes.

I have become empty.

New house, new memories..

2008-02-28T09:44:00.005+08:00

Moving halfway around singapore to my new little flat in clementi heartland. My third taste of the singapore heartland culture and way of life. My brother's first in 17 years. Leaving behind old memories i rather forget and moving forward to forge new and exciting ones. Here's a couple of things that has happened since you last heard from me:

1) Valentine's Day where my sweet Eloera made japanese lunch for me and brought it to school. With 2 slabs of eels, japanese long-legged crab meat, eggs, a heart-shaped rice and lots of love, what better lunch can a man get? Did i mention that it was a surprise? =)

2) Work and life commitments. Totally getting out of hand. Mid terms are coming up, and i've yet to study, not to mention my low threshold for temptation and my childish concentration. (in fact, this blog post is taking longer to type than usual, i wonder whether it's my lack of ideas for posting or that i just have none)

3) My first long distance night drive, CCK to CGA, whats more, i wasn't driving my dad's car! Totally warped idea? Thanks to you eloera, i earned my confidence in driving.

4) Hopelessly in love. Why can't we trade-on days like handphones? Then, i'll trade in all my school days for holidays, and all my mornings and afternoons for nights so that i can sleep next to you, in your arms.

So many happenings, so little time. Sigh.

My love affair with the imperfect stranger

2008-02-04T21:55:00.000+08:00

|We were born poles apart, but sent straight to one another, crashing at the speed of life|

Life isn't a bed of roses. It's more of a calculated risk of life and death. Today is the first day of many since we have stayed apart. Breathing in each other, sleeping in each other's dreams, living the life. A little petty quarrel pretty much sums up what happened yesterday and most of today was as calm and as silent as an empty church.

Never once we quarrelled past a day, never once i didn't say goodbye to you, never one did i not say i don't love you. But today when i saw your sms, i felt hurt. Really hurt in the morning while i had my cheesecake in front of my parents. All i wanted was to run into the arms of my sleeping best friend. All i wanted was my best friend to tell her how i felt.

Yes, i was trying to drive the idea of changing cupboards. Yes, i was being too harsh. Yet, i never once stopped you when you tried to persuade your mom to get you something, i never disagreed with what you liked and wanted. I never once stood on the opposite bank and tried to pull you over. I was always there, supporting you, even if sometimes it was wrong, i want to always be there. I know what are the costs in changing cupboards, i really know what i was thinking, but let me tell you honestly, i was really just thinking of it as an alternative. All i really wanted was for you. for me. for us. to be comfortable at my place. All i wanted was for you to feel good and sleep in a room with sufficient space although it's only half of my current room. I only had you in my considerations. That's probably my only concern. You.

Yet, what did i get in return? I got one night of silence. I got one night of bad vibes. I got one night without you. How was i to react? After my mom nagged me? After you thought i presumably snubbed you? I didn't think i reacted harshly towards you. Afterall, we always jacked each other in our conversations. Was last night's conversation any different? I meant it as a joke when i said," Don't buy bed then sleep where? Don't buy shelf then put my books where? Aiya, don't buy anything la."

This is one of the worst ways for us to separate for the new year as i'm going to malaysia. This isn't what i wanted. No, not at all. So i decided to make it up to you. I decided that one of us had to take a step back in this battle of egos. I decided to give in to you, not for you, not for me, but for us. You always tell me that us is greater than you or me. That's why.

I really hope this clears up the rainclouds. And let it shine all over again. I really want this relationship to be my last. I really want the sun to light up the aisle when i take your hand from your dad. It might be early. It might be impulsive. But then again, i was never the perfect stranger. Yet, ~~i'm sure~~ i know that i want you.

Finally, i want to wish you and your parents Happy Chinese New Year. Help me greet your aunts and uncles too. Tell them why i couldn't make it. Hopefully next year. I love you, Eloera.

Black and White

2008-01-27T23:06:00.000+08:00

The black and white of life has always been at the opposite ends of the earth. Never in contact, never caressing one another in the spectrum of life. Yet, we are so mesmerised by it.

The unpredictability and the utter randomness of the greys in life has sadly been forgotten. As the poles will never merge, we are too caught up in life's extremes that we forget the "grey" area of life. The part where, you don't have to make a decision, the part where life would just throw you the answer.

It's been 6 months into our relationship. And i must say it's rather colourful. Never dull at any moment and never boring for a second. Ups and downs, rolls and flips. Yet, my love for you has always been strong and unwavering. Mistakes, you say. There are some, but who am i not to err? To be forgiven by you gives me the strength to forge ahead and is testiment to our strong feelings for each other. You should know that i would do anything for you, at a moment's whim and beckon and call. You will is my command.

As i walk down this path alone, i will need company, a companion, a friend, a partner and a mate. I will need courage to face my deepest fears and the passion to live the best i could ever live. I will need you. And you are all i ever need.

To eloera, happy 6th months and will there be more to come. I love you.

2008

Casting away the bad of yesteryear and greeting the new of the coming year.

It's when she hugs him under the firework-lit sky at midnight and says,"Happy new year."

It's when she holds my hand while we trekked through the flood of unknown bodies, willing to be my guiding light.

It's when she tells me it's ok even when all the odds are against us.

It's when she strokes his cheek and tells him that he is the most beautiful in her eyes.

It's when she brings him out to enjoy the new year's eve with her cousins.

It's when she tries so hard to be the girl of his dreams. Yet secretly, she doesn't know she already is.

It's when she looks so beautiful even when she's sleeping in the dark.

It.is.when.she.makes.all.his.pain.and.suffering.go.away.

I hope this year would be a good one with you, my dear Eloera, i hope we, you and i, can withstand the test of time and the trials of misunderstandings.

"It's hard to let go, but it's even harder to hang on" --YT
I love you, my love.

Happy New Year.

Leaving on a jet plane.

2007-12-20T15:03:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow i'll leave this little town i call home.
To see the world out there.
To experience the wonders what many would give everything to catch a glimpse of.
To be only a week away from coming home into the arms of you.

I can only wait.
Time will be swift and quick.
I pray for your well being as well as mine.

Be good. For i have been good too.
Take care and wait for presents from Taiwan.

Love YT.

Of trials and tribulations

2007-12-18T00:04:00.001+08:00

today marks day 3 of us being separated by more than a mere wisp of air.
couldn't contact you on the phone, probably due to the weather or something.

it's cliche but yes, i'm still going to say i love you.
because i mean it oh so much.

you'll be in my prayers.
take care.

Holidays

2007-12-15T18:10:00.000+08:00

Back from a super long hiatus of blogging after spending some quality time to refresh myself after the trauma of university examinations. Just returned from a short 1 day trip to Kuala Lumpur and now just wasting time until my next up and coming trip in 2007. 21st Dec Taiwan!

Been busying my days with lots of retail therapy and grey's anatomy with my eloera. Cramming chips into our mouths while bitching about how Christina Yang being overly self-centered was the theme of many a days. But all of that has come to an end. Separated for 2 weeks due to amazing random bookings of trips by our respective parents will cause us to miss our 5th monniversary together, which so happens to fall on Christmas day. Being apart isn't one of our strong points, since we've spent almost everyday together since we gotten together.

At least the holidays are still long because there are still so many things to do. Reading, photography trips, exercise, shopping and more grey's.

She's over at Hainan now. Though i asked her to enjoy herself there, i miss her so badly. I get so strung out on her that i don't know how to spend my days without her. Yes, it's a good chance to be away from one another, since absence makes the heart fonder. But i'm afraid my heart can't take it. Talking to her last night over the phone, i felt that i was lying next to her, hearing her breathe, looking at her eyes and stroking her hair. That's how connected we already are.

Enough with the mush.

My room's a mess and i haven't got the will to clean it up. My demons? My new Wii and blogging and reading. I would really like to smash up every clock in the world so i can do my things in peace. THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH TIME! Time is like a parasite, eating up second after second of my precious holidays.

Here's a little something for eloera if you chance upon this blog post while in Hainan:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Have fun on your trip and tell me all about it when you get back, turn on your hp because i have been trying to call you since 527pm today but i think you turned off your phone. I'm missing you like one kind so come back safe and sound k?

I love you.

Book Spree at Borders

2007-11-12T01:37:00.000+08:00

Bought 10 books over the weekend during the 45% discount at Borders. Well, i only got 2 books, while girlfriend got like 17,200 books... (slightly exaggerated but, nevertheless,true to a certain extend.)

Titles we've got:
The shock doctrine
The black book
The joke
The old man and the sea
The metamorphosis and the trial
Angela Carter's book of fairy tales
To kill a mockingbird
White Oleander

+1 book for my brother's birthday gift
+1 book for her sister

Her enthusiasm for books never fails to amuse me. Like a child let loose in a candy store. She runs up and down through the corridors of literary texts, sampling everything that catches her eye. After getting the books, she even offers to carry them, like a hunter who lugs around his prize catch.

We were discussing about having a bookshelf next time in our house. Probably a big wooden one which will have a endless supply of books to hold, judging by the way we buy books. Her idea of reading books also intrigues me, if she has it, she has read it.

Now at 1.45 am with her doing her pf forum discussion for those few extra marks. I wonder to myself quietly,

"Have i yet to find happiness better than her?"

Great and delicious food, and an even better view.

2007-10-28T21:37:00.000+08:00

Had buffet dinner at The Line@Shangri La Hotel.

Wifeybaby all ready to EAT!

Her hubhubs =c)

Too bad we didn't get photos of the food we ate, probably because we were too greedy in our culinary escapades.

Here's the casualty list:
(In no particular order)
10 Oysters
12 Prawns
3 Lobsters
2 Crayfish
Beef Lasagne
Pasta
Grilled Sea Bass
Dim Sum
Green Cream of Brocolli
8 Cups of cold water
5 Sticks of Strawberries dipped in Chocolate fondue
8 Sticks of chicken satay
40 pieces of Sashimi
4 sushi
alcoholic mango dessert
1 plate of spaghetti
2 slices of pork knuckles

Btw, this is only what I ate. Eloera ate alot too. Begone O foul diet!
And to think we are already planning our next trip there. heh.

To my missus,

The days i spend with you will be firmly etched and seared into my very being. The laughter, the tears, the fun and the pain we share as a couple will always be brought to mind when i think of you. You asked me whether we were meant for each other today at 9:58pm. So here's my answer, "I really think that we were meant to be together like the clouds and the sky. So firmly attached to one another, each one in the other's grasp. I wish that we will always be this way till the end of time. Be mine forever."

I love you.
Happy 3rd month monniversary.

Oh rottens. The apple rottens.

2007-10-16T20:58:00.000+08:00

Did average for my mid terms and feeling lousy about it. Lucky it's only my mid terms, a lesson learnt means more hard work will be needed for me to get my results at the end of the year. Though it's only the first semester but i still have to get something decent.

Long holidays due to Hari Raya and inability to persuade myself to go to school led to a super long 5 day holiday for me to spend with Eloera. Study, eat, sleep, dota, all in my house for a period of 5 whole days. (I personally wonder when she's going to move in) My little minx makes me so happy.

I managed to plan my workload distribution table after being so slack for the past few weeks in NUS. Hopefully it'll give me more motivation to study and do better for my grades.

I miss Eloera. =(

The anti theory of everything

2007-10-04T23:38:00.000+08:00

Here i am, writing about something i'm not familiar about, but i'm going to try anyways. It's about the Anti-Theory of Everything (AToE). It's about order in chaos, it's about black in white or white in black, it's about wrongs and about rights. It's about people and their lives. It's about me.

Order in chaos? Do you think there's really such a thing? Chaos is chaos right? But see here, if you take chaos, and multiply it to infinity, you will still see a pattern. A pattern equals to an order that chaos theoretically shouldn't have, yet it's staring straight in your face. Then what is chaos? What is this utter randomness we hail as "Chaos" about? Chaos is derived from the Greek word Χάος. And without order, chaos will cease to exist.

Light and dark is another. One ceases to exist without the presence of the other.

Yet, why is that chaos, darkness, evilness and wrongs are bad? Is it defined that way? If someone steals to support his family, is it wrong? Who are we to judge?

"Humans, we are not God, we are only the administrators of Earth." ~Eloera

This brings us back to the nature and nurture argument. If you teach your child that stealing is good. He'll grow up with the mentality that stealing is fine and that it's perfectly ok to do so. Or is it? Could it be that our genetic make-up that tells us stealing is ultmately wrong and that we should never do it? If it was, why is so much still happening on earth?

Compromise is never an option. If it were, why are there was to be fought? Greed? Fame? Fortune? Is it the ambition to rule the world worth sacrificing millions of lives? Yet, without wars, plagues and diseases, our planet would be overcrowded and would inevitably lead to the crumbling of our populace. So are the dictators to be blamed for their misdeeds? Or are they to be celebrated for giving our future generations breathing space?

Dictators have always been a notorious group. They enforce harsh rules and coerce people to conform. But is this ok? Take a look at the bigger picture. *Disclaimer I'm not attacking the religious groups in the world, just stating how i feel* Take a look at God, we are living under him. We live under his charge, with certain rules. If we break those protocols, we end up dead... sadly. So is god really a dictator in that sense as well? Like i said, i'm not defacing the one who is God, i respect all religions equally and i respect him.

So, in essence, it seems that there are certain things that can be argued incessantly, and a resolution will never be reached. What i have said is purely for mental stimulation that i so desperately lacked in this few days. Seriously, life in NUS is so....

Blah.
Back to listening my "Norwegian Recycled" Trax.
(ps. this post has 20 question marks. i really must love asking questions.)

Picking up the pieces

2007-10-02T23:39:00.000+08:00

Life is full of choices.

It's like a never-ending marathon of alternatives that require constant attention. Making the wrong choice gets you into deep shit. Shit knee high. And when you're in knee high of shit, life just sucks.
I'm not regretting any of my choices i made. I just like to have a remote where i can rewind and playback the choices which i really think i made correctly and i loved the choices.
One of which is the choice i decided to make you mine.

(To Eloera, please don't feel fucked over a test ok? I hope this cheers you up. I'll see you tomorrow.)

Conversations by the moon

2007-09-27T16:58:00.000+08:00

Mooncakes, tea and family. The makings of a wonderful night. The moon was full and the atmosphere light and extravangently bright from the many lanterns being lit throughout my neighbourhood. Drinking tea with my family and eloera, made the night so much more special.

I thank the heavens for bestowing the wonderous gift that is you.

Well, back to studying for midterms. Life's getting boring with academics and lousy internet connections.

ps. happy 2nd monniversary to you!

Because of you.

2007-09-24T00:32:00.000+08:00

And I know this much is true
Baby, you have become my addiction
I'm so strung out on you,
I can barely move...but I like it

Holidays are in!

2007-09-20T22:43:00.000+08:00

1 week term break!
Finally some rest for the tired souls of NUS. 1 week of nothing but enjo... oh wait. We have to study for our mid terms right?

fuck.

The main ingredient is love.

2007-09-17T21:07:00.000+08:00

I'm Yours -- Jason Mraz.

Taking random photos with you.
Playing dota with you.
Eating fish soup with you.
Shopping with you.
Listening to 95FM with you.
Playing thumb wrestling with you.

And yet, people search for bliss and happiness.
I don't bother searching.

Faded into the black

2007-09-13T22:08:00.000+08:00

Facades.

What's real and what's not.

I would never know.

Mental fences and gates to prevent prying eyes.

Guarding our inner child from danger.

We all have facades.

Yet, it's this facades. Like it or not.

They define us. They make us. They are us.

Taking down your fences and letting someone in.

Is harder than taking off your clothes in public.

The reason is because of the pain.

When someone runs off with something we hold close to us.

We will never know the joy of removing the facades.

Only the freedom of being who we really are.

In front of your loved ones.

Sick, studies, and mohawks.

2007-09-12T22:54:00.000+08:00

I relish any chance to let myself go through mental stress. I find it interestingly invigorating. I wonder why.

I wonder why i procrastinate so as to feel the joy of having to rush 3 tutorials within 3 hours.
I wonder why i mis-read my computing tutorial and end up doing 248 lines of worthless coding, when all the others have not learnt it yet.
I wonder why i can blog now when i have a test to study for this coming Saturday.

All because i love stress. It makes me feel alive. Oh yes, simple pleasures of life. Yet, so mercilessly overlooked by the materialistic things in life.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Anyway, i want to give a huge shout out to my girl for taking the trouble to care for me while i was sick and pooped on Tuesday. We had so much fun running in the rain. I really appreciate the effort you put in into this relationship, i really do. And thanks for actually thinking of cabbing down on Monday with a baked "something" to cheer me up.

PS: It's cliche and whatnot, but i really think that i love you. =c)

Math... Maddening Aggrevating Troublesome Homework

2007-09-09T00:32:00.000+08:00

Sigh, i'm beginning to lag in my maths and statics... i'm starting to get lost around the corners. I hate it when i stare at the tutorial for more than a minute wondering what to do next. Whether to try writing some random lines and see whether it links to the answer, or just plain give up.

Maybe it's due to the amount of lectures i've been skipping? maybe it's my inefficacy for maths and statics. Well, i don't really blame myself for sucking at statics. I blame the lecturer and the lousy planning to have to go to school just to hand up one assignment question on an EMPTY Tuesday.

Sorry to be lamenting my plight to you, the esteemed reader. Yet, i feel that i need to vent out my vexations over this online portal where drugs, sex and pop-culture over rules everything and anything academic. Why can't i just have a talent? Having a talent is so much easier. You just have to do what you're good at and you get paid, you get recognition, you get satisfaction. How many of us, students of this wretched education system actually feels satisfied solving problem 1 to 15 without a quagmire of difficulty? Well, the general student populace would probably feel happy if we get to sleep at 3am after attempting problem 1 umpteen times and still not getting "it". "It" being the crux of solving the problem or the answer.

Well, many of us will have varying opinions on what we have for a so-called education system. I feel that the system makes us grow up too quick. Too quick were the days gone where i used to play in the gardens and get mud all over my body. Gone were those days i plucked street side flowers to sucked them for nectar. Why is that? Probably due to the education system. Since our education system rewards merit, studies have become our number 1 priority. Who exactly managed to stay out till 8pm catching butterflies in your neighbourhood park? Who could stay over at your friend's house to play sonic on sega 16-bit? Who managed to get a whole set of creepy crawlies set without ASKING your parents?

Totally peeved about my tutorials. It's a roller coaster ride of emotions. Bah. I can't be bothered anymore to attempt it again.

Mom's gonna be happy.

Went shopping to get mommychan a present for her birthday with E today.
Settled for a Bonia Wallet that set me back about 100 bucks.
But i really think mom's gonna love it.

Happy advanced birthday Mom.

Skinnies and japanese curry.

2007-09-03T19:11:00.000+08:00

How long have i not blogged? like 6 days. @.@ this is gonna be a new record. Anyways, i did quite a bit for these 6 days. Some are memorable, like the times i spend with you. Others i just want to forget, like going into the wrong class for EG1109.

I got SKINNIES. OMG! OMG! OMG!!! *cues jacinta's omg emoticon.* White and red, patriotic till the end. E said that i looked great in red. I wonder why... =P
Besides my 2 skinnies spree, i got some new tops and a bottom from Cotton On. Quite a nice shop, cheap and looks "Topshopish" according to E. Well, too bad there weren't any polos for my size. Sad.

Caught Rataouille on Saturday and went over to Eloera's house to cook japanese curry for her. Without her, it probably become curry soup. Because i nvr did read the instructions before starting. Heh, so much for offering to cook. Such a spoiler. But the curry turned out to be quite nice to eat. I had like 2 big plates of rice with 5 servings of curry while watching channel 5's Thomas Crown Affair. Interesting show. Maybe because i never watched it before. Roar! So full i almost couldn't leave the house. E's parents were nice enough to offer me to stay over, but i had to go home because mummychan would like me to be home and i missed home.

Sunday was study day. Studied the day away. Had daddywoon's FAMOUS chicken stew. I had 3 full bowls.

Life's fun when you're in love.
Life's happy when you're loved.
Life's blissful when the world knows.

Torrential rains and the bloody moon.

2007-08-28T23:36:00.000+08:00

Today at approximately 1752 till 1922, the moon passes into the Earth's Umbra and the shadow of the Earth was casted on the moon causing the "blood moon" effect.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3249951.stm

Yet, did most of the world manage to see it? I guess not. Why? Due to the effects of "scattered light from towns and cities is all too often snuffing out the stars - however clear the skies may be." How much has our earth degraded for the benefit of man? How much more do we want to erode our beautiful earth just that we can live in pleasure?

Was discussing about Global warming and whether it's linked to humans with Terrence and Jason over lunch at Simei on Sunday. Jason mentioned a point,"Global warming isn't caused by humans." I was stunned. He said that it's just lots of propaganda and due to the Geography lessons we have in secondary school, that's why we assume that humans cause Global Warming.

Taking a look at Singapore, we all know that the weather is going a bit crazy. Sun, rain, sun, rain... What's next? Snow? I wish there was. =)

Anyway, i went and googled "Global Warming caused by humans or not?" And went to a site that argues that Global Warming is actually happening and that the Scientific consensus that Global warming is indeed happening is overwhelming. WHY?
Here's some reasons to show that the Earth is going through a phase of warming:
(Courtesy of http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-globalwarming.htm)
-The ten hottest years in recorded history (since the 1860's, when reliable measurements began) have all occurred after 1973.

-Average annual temperatures have gradually been climbing.

-The polar caps are melting, and giant cracks are appearing in their enormous ice shelves. An 800-square-mile ice shelf called the Wordie has disappeared from Antarctica. A gigantic iceberg the size of Rhode Island also broke off the Antarctic in January, 1995. If even a tenth of the ice in Antarctica melts, it would raise sea levels 12 to 30 feet around the world. (4)
Forests are climbing farther north into the polar region, thanks to warmer weather and receding glaciers. There has also been a proliferation of plant life in Antarctica.

-Disease outbreaks have been increasing all over the world, due to the fact that diseases thrive better in hotter weather.

-El Nino seems to be staying longer. (El Nino normally arrives every three years; it is an upwelling of warm water from the deep Pacific Ocean that rises up all along the Western American coast. It usually has a profound effect on weather.) For the last ten years, El Nino has been causing conditions from extreme drought to extreme rain on the West Coast.

-Marine animals have been migrating to newer habitats. Creatures who normally live in warm water have been expanding their habitat, whereas creatures who live in cold water have been retreating farther north and south.

Anyway, on a lighter note. Singapore didn't get to see the Red moon today because of heavy torrential rains all over the island. I personally hated the fact it rained so heavily because one, i had to go to school, 2, i didn't have an umbrella, 3, i didn't get to see the moon phenomenon. So yea, it sucked.

Eloera made me a candle for our first month anniversary. And i'm so touched by the effort she put into making it for me. At first i was wondering what was so special about the candle. She asked me to burn it and wait and see. I was initially apprehensive because i thought sparks or mini explosions might occur. But it wasn't to be. (Luckily she wasn't a chemist. =P) However, what happened at the end of the burning of the candle was... 5 Words at the bottom of the candle, " Yin Theng I love U."

Like fucking hell yea!

2007-08-26T01:00:00.000+08:00

Finally got the green light to take my fifth module. Damn CORS for eating up my 246 points. But i couldn't careless after 3 days of intensive appeals. Skipped lecture just to settle my appeal. However, it was totally worth it.

RAWR!

Totally Random Blog Post

2007-08-22T20:17:00.000+08:00

Today my blog post is totally random. It's going to be about the things i did since monday. It's random coz i'm a random person in a random part of Singapore doing something totally random.

So on Monday, no school so i went running. Ran not much, only 3.5km pretty tiring coz i haven't been training. Monday saw the start of my studying for uni. 4 modules doesn't mean i get to slack off. So Ma 1505, PC 1431, Eg 1109 and CS1101c, was all over my mind. Not till i got in 3 games of dota. =P

Tuesday was swimming day with besties ja and eloera. Swam 42 laps, i almost break my 2 legs trying to swim freestyle. My legs cramped everywhere. I swear it was so embarassing. Swim finish at around 1530 and ja had to go for her lessons at 1600. By the time we left the pool, it was already 1610. So much for being on time. Subway! Eloera had egg mayo, i had Subway Club. Then ja called. She Pon lecture! Wth la... RJC student then like that. So seh. I wanna pon lecture also still need to ask permission from teacher lor. =P So we headed to Holland V for Cakes in Providence and Coffee at Starbucks. Ja was so intrigued by this game i introed her at Starbucks called "The Impossible Quiz". It was so funny watching her stare at the screen wondering what's the answer to the super random questions the quiz asked. Eloera had a seriously shagged out face so went home at abt 9. Cabbed down to Buona Vista MRT where the cabbie was super reckless, negotiate bend at 70-80km/h. So crazy. Mr cab driver, u wanna speed u go ahead, u wanna kill urself go ahead, just dun involve innocent pple can already. As we left the cab this old lady was getting ready to board it. I felt so compelled to tell her abt the cabbie's driving, but it's none of my business anyway.

Wednesday. Supposed to meet Eloera to get my notes from her since she nicely offered to help me print my notes for me. However, bus 14/45 was MIA. I waited for 15mins for 2 buses. End up making me late on a gloomy Wednesday afternoon. Anyway, we met up at Clementi MRT and went to our lectures. Late. PC 1431 was a waste of time. I already studied his notes on Friday coz i ponned the lecture. See? So hardworking. Lol. 1 hour lunch break where i had Grilled Chicken with Fillet at Technoedge. GOOD SHIT i tell u. But Subway also got good offer Free Upgrade. Can't decide wad to eat now. Lol... After lunch was a SUPER BORING CS1101c lecture about the mechanics of C programming language. I think the lecturer is super lousy. I for one have studied C++ and have some knowledge of C programming and i almost found it hard to keep up with the pace he's teaching. After he go thru finish one example, he already finished 20 slides. Beginners sure lost la... If wanna teach also must ask whether the general populus understands before continuing on. However, singaporeans also, to us, speaking is taboo. So probably, the lecturer no choice but to continue. =) After school, i went to Ikea with Eloera for some Meatballs and Poached Salmon. Met Feng Fu on the bus to Ikea. I was conned into going to TJC Annual Dinner la... $50 for a canteen? i think $50 i can go eat Kushinbo and still have tips for the waiters la. So me and eloera walk and walk and walked thruout Ikea, and ate ice cream and stole the red First Aid Tags. haha! evil i tell u.

Anyway, that's it for today's totally random blog post. =)

Why get the whole phone number when u can just get the first 3 digits?

2007-08-20T12:10:00.000+08:00

1) key-in the first 3 digits of your handphone number (exclude the '9') into the calculator
2) multiply by 80
3) add 1
4) multiply by 250
5) plus last four digits of phone number
6) plus last four digits of phone number again
7) minus 250
8) divide by 2 at last

Freaky shit!

It really gives your handphone number as the result! TRY IT!

*Editted coz CORS didn't like me.
I didn't get the module i wanted so now have to bid for round 3B. Coz y?
This was what happened. I bidded for MKT1003 today at 1238pm. I put X amount of points into it. Went for a swim and realised that there were other modules that i can actually bid coz MKT was getting too hot for my liking. Since i'm a mechanical engineer, i have already pre-allocated 4 modules. Hence, i already have 15MCs currently in the bag. So the CORS system doesn't allow me to scan more than 1 module's bidding info. So when i got home after swimming at 3pm, I decided to drop MKT so i could take a look at the other modules' info. That's when CORS hung on me. GG. Then everything went back to normal. So i thought. I FREAKING LOST MY POINTS FOR BIDDING ON MKT yet nothing was reflected. Means i paid points for something i didn't bid. How wonderful. And like every crook who steals/plunder/kills, CORS ran like a freaking Kenyan away with my points. The NUS CORS system is currently offline. GG.
OMG stupid CORS. I created a song for CORS and here's how it goes.

CORS, O stupid CORS.
How i hate using you, bloody CORS.
CORS... CORS CORS.
You drive me insane while i try to login.
CORS is currently offline.
Damn you CORS.

PS: Don't sue me please CORS.
PPS: I really like CORS. Just fix the problems.

I'm sleepy,tired,pooped, and allergic to school.

2007-08-11T21:35:00.000+08:00

Stuff are happening these few days. Is it happening too quickly for my preference? i'll never know. I dun really give a shit about it anyway. School's starting on Monday and here i am still in Holidaying mood. Technically, my school starts on Wednesday. =)

I got a pair of Zara loafers at $30. Was such a great deal. Love my new loafers.

Had Sakae buffet till i almost couldn't get up from my seat. Had 6 plates of HARD-CORE SALMON SASHIMI. Was so great. Delicious though couldn't really finish it up.

Aug 9, parents went to Bintan with my Bro. I went to Jeremy's House for a BBQ/Gathering/POKER. Lost $10 for my lousy skills. Got commented about my Chicken Frying Skills. I still got lots to improve to really "cook" for people to eat. Caught Hot Fuzz on DVD at J's house while pausing to watch NDP. This year NDP was like nothing much. Probably one of the few times i didn't watch the NDP. (Coz i was cooking outside) Besides the chicken, NDP, broken chair, spilled green tea, poker, money collection, Christina's Orh ba ka and the Vader video, we did had a lot of fun. Thx to Jeremy for inviting us.

Stayed over at Ja's and played with her little brother John. Such a nice kid with boundless energy. Hard for a 21 year old guy to keep up. Asked me to fling him, carry him and spin him like Superman. Ja was laughing mad at me and him. Damn funny.
Had Bibim Bap at JEC on friday afternoon for Brunch. Only Ja finished, porker -.-

Moved over to E's place at 10pm coz i didn't wanna trouble Ja's huge family. We had dinper(dinner/supper) at about 1130. Mee goreng and bee hoon from JB courtesy of E's mom. Thx auntie! The Mee goreng is superb. Never had good mee goreng for a long time.

Finally, met up with my family for dinner at Hoshi's in IMM at 730pm. Took a look at our new house over at Clementi before heading home.

Engg O week and Sunday's with besties

2007-08-05T11:17:00.000+08:00

Sat was the start of Engg O week. I must say that i'm a bit impressed that Engg O week is quite "fun" compared to what i heard from other O weeks. However, they're so CUNNING! Monday and next Saturday stay over. There's only 1 reason for that, RAG & FLAG, make that 2 reasons.

O week activities
930-- Meet up @LT7A
1000-1230-- Introduction and games until security guard came to "Neow" us for being too loud. Like WTH??
1230-- LUNCH! Chilli Tofu, Soya sauce Chicken and veg!
1300-- Briefing by SHING aka Project Director Engg O week.
1330-1600-- Learning of Engg O week mass dance.
1600-2000-- Station games. Fishing, charades, treasure hunt, UFO catcher, food testing and more...
2000- DINNER! Was so hungry! Army rations =(
2030-2230-- SP night.

Looks good eh? at least there wasn't any of those lame lecturer talks. hahaha. I didn't like the long mass dance hours. And we had to learn on the steps of the lecture room coz of so many screw ups. Irritating.

I'm blogging this thru my new ASUS G1s. I sense many of u are "GREEN WITH ENVY". I just love it so much. The vista ultimate has this extra game called hold'em poker too! Going out to pamper "Einden" later with my 2 besties. Getting him a laptop bag then go to a rock show over at the esplanade.

Enjoy ur Sunday.

School's back! after 10 months of slacking.

2007-07-31T23:37:00.000+08:00

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.

2007-07-28T15:20:00.001+08:00

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

2007-07-24T02:09:00.000+08:00

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!
=)

Now i have a dry cough.

Oh well.

The story of a fair boy turning tanned.

2007-07-18T11:19:00.000+08:00

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)

Here's to all my new friends and SPARTAN!

The crossroads in life.

2007-07-08T12:52:00.000+08:00

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...

2007-07-06T13:52:00.000+08:00

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.

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:

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

The day i did the trash.

2007-07-05T20:52:00.000+08:00

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. ;)

(I really need to think of better ways to close a post...)

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

2007-07-04T22:33:00.000+08:00

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.

2007-07-01T22:23:00.000+08:00

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.

*Phases Out*

Family Day. WARNING: LONG POST

2007-06-30T23:07:00.000+08:00

Today i got up at like 745 to meet my friends for some cycling/blading at ECP. As usual, i was first... again. First came Li Shan with her "I not late, OK?" speech, well she was on time for once. Then came Li Ping, Shao Hao and then Li Min who was 30mins late. Anyway, had breakfast at East Coast Macdonalds where we were all fascinated about this flash game this boy was playing on the free internet counter. It involves some pencil drawn hero equipped with a sword going around on a foolscap paper killing his foes and jumping on platforms. The funny thing was, when an enemy was killed, a eraser would appear and "erase" them off the page.

Anyway, back to business, after breakfast the rest of them rented bicycles and i got my blades on. They were so slow la... As in they were leisurely cycling and still say tired. =.= We stopped at Bedok Jetty to see people fishing, and there was this guy who fished up a huge fish! Too bad i don't have the photo so show you guys(it's with Shao Hao). The fish was so big the man had problems bringing it back home on his bicycle. Off we went on with our journey all the way to Safra Changi Chalet. Took a break there and got some photos, but again, no photos coz Li Shan is being a lazy bum and don't wanna send me the pictures today.

Next we cycled all the way back to the hawker centre near the ski park which Li Min called it the "Lagoon" for i dunno wad reason(i didn't know there was a name for it). And we had a sugarcane break.

Finally, all the way back to the bicycle kiosk to return the bikes and off to lunch at Mos Burger@Parkway. When suddenly...

I WAS OFFERED TICKETS TO NDP 2nd DRESS REHEARSAL(Family Day)

Thanks Candice(Though you made me wait like forever under the hot sun)
The ticket was torn coz that's how they let you in. Something like a cinema, but more low class. =X

The World's Largest Floating Stage(Correct me if i'm wrong)

Another time for the camera. Notice this orange dinosaur with green polka dots. He/she is those guys who help rouse the crowd, cheerleader of some sorts. And there was this gigantic Starfish balloon in the middle of the stage. This year's theme is more about water and the aquatic lifeforms.

Here's one final shot of the platform. It's made by ST technologies according to Li Min/Li Ping.

The Singapore Skyline. I might as well take it since i have such a fantastic view of it. =)

The Singapore Flyer. Singapore First Ferris Wheel. My dad tells me that it's being made by a German company if i didn't remember wrongly. So cool, well, again since i'm there... might as well take a pic.

Finally, a parade segment pic.

Well the day was fun while it lasted. However i did get some thing out of the journey.

SUNBURN!

Haha, i dunno whether you can tell the difference but there really is. I'm now officially a Half-roasted Pig.

So, if you're planning a Saturday out. Remember one thing, always use sunscreen.

The Totally Random Blog Post.

2007-06-29T20:43:00.000+08:00

Today i have nothing i wanna blog about so today will be a random blog post. I have a feeling that this might happen often if my life doesn't get anymore interesting than this.

Anyway, today i juz watched "The girl who leapt through time", and no i didn't go to Orchard Cineleisure to catch it(exclusive rights). I downloaded it and watched it on a fansub, though the subbing quality sucks but i understand most of the show. The show has a great feel to it, good animation and good storyline. The title really says almost everything about the show, so i wouldn't bore you with the details.

I also just finished downloading surf's up and gonna watch it soon! =)

So what do i do the whole day?
.
.

I PLAY DJ MAX PORTABLE 2 on my PSP!

This game is a button spoiler for your psp coz it's just a button smashing game for amatuers. However if u get pro at it, it becomes really cool music. Well, i'm trying to master a 4 button song called "Blythe". And look what i've found on youtube:

Went to NUS for a health check up today and then went for a marathon shopping spree at Vivo City and Orchard. =)

Had lunch at Superdogs! I haven't seen it before(maybe coz i swakoo)so decided to have a try. There's like Hot Dog eating Etiquette with the Do's and Dont's on how to eat a Hot Dog. Here's some stuff written on the paper(the one which they put on the tray):
1) Do eat Hot Dogs with buns using your hands.
2) Don't use utensils on the Hot Dog if they are accompanied by Buns.
3) Condiments like Ketchup, Mustard, Chilli should not be wiped off with a hand towel. They should be licked off your fingers.
4) You should not put Ketchup on your Hot Dogs after the age of 18.

After Superdogs we went shopping round Vivo City where I bought a Yellow Pinstriped Shirt at Topman for $79 and Mei Lin bought a Top at MANGO at 50% off! After walking around for like 2 hours plus I developed a small indigestion problem, so we went to Kopitiam to have a drink. So then we decided to go to Orchard for a little Shop-around. =) At Kinokuniya@Takashimaya, I saw this fascinating book about Paradoxes. It's called, "Paradoxes A to Z". So More shopping and shopping(this time is window shopping). Finally i bought a Adidas Shirt at $49 and it was already time for dinner.

Guess where?

Idiosyncrasies - What maketh the Man?

2007-06-25T23:25:00.000+08:00

Today i've got nothing much to say about my adventures in the gaming world or my real life exploits, so i'll tell u guys about some wierd things i love doing that makes me who i am.

id·i·o·syn·cra·sy(d--sngkr-s)
n. pl. id·i·o·syn·cra·sies
1. A structural or behavioral characteristic peculiar to an individual or group.
2. A physiological or temperamental peculiarity.
3. An unusual individual reaction to food or a drug.

Idiosyncrasy 1: I love sleeping with my left hand on my forehead. Just because i really hate light getting into my face when i'm trying to sleep.

Idiosyncrasy 2: I like my hair to be perfect when i'm out. Not that i'm vain, but i once took 3 baths to get my hair the way i wanted it to be.

Idiosyncrasy 3: I dislike being photographed. Is this a trend among new-age guys? Or is it just me? =P

Idiosyncrasy 4: I mix my wasabi with soya sauce, as in stir them up together. So as to achieve balance in taste.

Idiosyncrasy 5: KFC whipped potato too, i like it stirred. (Thanks to Terrence who taught me the art of fine dining)

Idiosyncrasy 6: I need tea every morning, and soup every dinner. Provided i eat in places which doesn't serve those at the appropriate timings. =)

Idiosyncrasy 7: I do not wash my face.

Idiosyncrasy 8: I can't stand bad english and will tend to correct the mistakes(other pple's mistakes, i can't really notice my own) as often as possible.

Idiosyncrasy 9: I'm sure it applies to most pple, but i really can't stand other pple touching me. As in on MRTs and crowded places, I just try to squeeze myself as much as possible to prevent pple from touching me(and by pple i mean strangers).

Idiosyncrasy 10: Finally the Coup de Grace! I find this personally a bit wierd, but when i use the loo. I always use the cubicles. And when i do the big business, i have to put tissue on the toilet seat in fear of contacting STDs! lol...

There, some wierd stuff you never know about me.
Till the next time we meet! YT over and out!

5 Things to buy with 1million dollars

2007-06-24T22:09:00.000+08:00

Kind of bored today so i figured maybe what i can do with 1million dollars(meaning i can spend it all and not live in poverty for the rest of my life). So here's the stuff.

1: Small 2 room apartment $600,000
2: Mercedes Benz SLK 350 $248,888 with COE
3: Samsung 46inch HDTV $5999
4: PS3 $800 + Games $500
5: New computer $4000

Well, i guess that leaves me with $139,813 left to live... haha. I'm not really such a practical man afterall. Only buy luxury stuff and not the practical stuff.

Anyways, here's some random things u can do with 1million dollars:

Random stuff 1: Buy a PSP($300)+ 14,281 games(Av $70 a game)
Random stuff 2: 14,492 Rides on the Singapore Flyer Signature Cocktail Flight@ $69(includes Express Boarding and an exclusive Singapore Flyer cocktail glass)
Random stuff 3: 5,000,000 toilet breaks assuming 20cents each
Random stuff 4: 125,000 plates of "Orh Lua" @Blk85 Hawker Centre priced at $8 each
Random stuff 5: 8,333 pairs of adi-pro Adidas Sport shoes

Hmmm, the prices not v accurate so quite random also...

Mmmm, strawberries. Have been eating strawberries for like 3 days in a row now. Dunno why my parents keep buying, but i'm not complaining. LOL.
Speaking about strawberries, i wonder what would it be like to farm strawberries. Sigh, such a carefree lifestyle rather than studying in uni(come this august).

My right hand's all better too! So i'm back to doing stuff with both hands, though it's still a bit sore on the wrist.
Later~!

Life with a left hand

2007-06-23T21:22:00.000+08:00

Been living on my left hand for 2 full days now since spraining my right wrist on friday morning. And i must say, "IT SUCKS!" Even simple tasks like chopsticks, i can barely manage to pick up a piece of sashimi today at M hotel where i had a buffet dinner. =)

Anyway, the recovery of my right wrist is coming along fine, probably tomorrow it'll be all better. (That's 48 hours to recover from a sprain) I always felt that i recover abnormally fast, as in faster than others but not like Claire Bennett from Heroes.

Speaking of Claire, i really think she's cute and i really love her superpower of insane spontaneous regeneration. Makes her close to immortal, though without any "firepower". Thinking of it, she can only take hits and is unable to dish out any damage.

Too bad Heroes Season 1 is over, i can't wait for season 2 to be out. Haven't caught episodes 22 & 23 coz i don't want to be left hanging without season 2.

Oh btw, here's some tips to recover from nasty sprains a-la-YT-style:
1) REST affected area(for me, it would be my right hand)
2) ICE 3-4 times a day to reduce swelling
3) KEEP swelled area above heart level whenever possible to allow the "swell-fluids" to drain easily
4) Stay happy and live with the rest of your functioning body. =)

Btw, i didn't go to a doctor. Not that it's something to be proud of. But i rarely go to the doctor's with the exception of during the army. So can "Chao-keng". Whahahaha!

Today's blog entry was written by YT's left hand. *Claps*

Bad accident day

2007-06-22T20:05:00.000+08:00

Today i had a nasty fall while blading at the track behind my house. My numerous battle scars include:

1 X Sprained Wrist (Right)
1 X Sprained Neck (Left)
1 X Scratched Elbow (Right)
1 X Scratched Knee (Right)
1 X Scratched Shin (Left)
1 X Deflated Ego

So i guess that means no more exercising for me. Sigh, just when i mentioned about getting some motivation to exercise. Some divine power just had to stop me from doing so. =P

Anyway, met up with Feng Fu and Yadong to hand in the indemnity form for the Student Union Camp happening from 10-14 July. They asked about my hand and i told them i sprained it from playing games to vigorously...

...
...
...
... NOT!

LOL, reminds me of Borat. Very nice!
Well, it quite troublesome doing stuff with only my left hand, but i'm lucky i'm partially ambidextrous. =)

Hope my wrist gets better soon.

Don't Laugh High School

2007-06-21T19:48:00.000+08:00

80 Push ups
80 Sit ups
(Didn't run today coz it sort of drizzled)

Tell me u didn't laugh
Coz i did... The blog which i chanced upon while surfing blogs was the japanese show i always wanted to watch. You guys might know the one where Jacky Wu did, but this was the original one. Go check it out. Really good stuff.

Should really start putting more effort into my training if not i'll just keep procrastinating. Hopefully can continue to motivate myself to do more running, blading or even swimming.

Not much else to blog about today, i'm suffering from a mental block.
Bye.

Spider Mmmmm... lilies...

2007-06-20T23:09:00.000+08:00

60 Sit ups
60 Push ups
(No time to exercise coz went out whole day)

Caught Spider lilies today with Mei Lin at Cineleisure today. As she described it,"7 dollars to see 3 mins of that one(referring to lesbian action)." The show was hard to understand for me coz of my poor chinese, and also the fact that the audio was bad. Not that Cineleisure's audio was bad, it's just that... Rainie's voice was just too loud for my liking... You know how in those chinese/taiwanese shows where they purposely increase lead actor/actresses voices so you can hear the dialogue?

After the movie we went to Sim Lim Square to get me a new 4gigabyte memory stick Pro Duo for my psp games! There goes $98... (Why didn't i go to the IT fair and get it for $80 like everyone else?)

Then at Kinokuniya@Bugis(correct spelling?), i found out that those security sensors don't really like what i had in my bag. I assumed it was my psp all night coz every shop i went which had a security sensor beeped me. Only the one at Metro at Century Square 1st floor didn't(that means can shoplift!). Well anyway, now at home and looking at my new Memory stick packaging i found this...

So maybe, just maybe... THE FREAKING PACKAGING PREVENTED ME FROM GOING INTO ALL THE SHOPS?!?!@

Well, not like that was a bad thing, today i roughly spent about 800-900 Dollars on food, movie, bus/train, memory stick, and my NEW PAIR OF OAKLEY SPECS!

Like i always said," Money is meant to be spent, and earned again."

Signing off,
YT a.k.a. Zerowinks

2007-06-19T23:28:00.000+08:00

Shagged after doing today's exercises.
50 sit ups
40 push ups
20 leg raises
2km run

Yea yea, i'm unfit. But at least i'm trying right? lol... anyway, i managed to get my psp to play downloaded games after fixing my firmware at the encouragement of Jeremiah yesterday night, and i must say, it was a success! Now all i have to do is throw away 800SGD worth of original games i bought over the few years.

WHOOPIE! THROW THROW THROW!!!

Into the bin it goes!

Anyway, playing GTA:Vice City Stories now while AFK-levelling on Granado Espada. I heard "rumors" that GE is going to be Pay to play(P2P). It's going to be like 13SGD a month and u have to buy the box at approximately 20SGD for installation of the game client. Some more they wanna add an item-shop option into the game. Damn those money-sucking commercials they aired! LOL... But i still love the game and money is no barrier between me and my gaming! Sooner or later i'll start going into the gaming industry from the looks of it. =.=

Zombified, Hypnotised, Obsessed, Addicted... Call it what ever u want dude, you're just jealous. =P

YT out.

Silver Surfer has no board...

2007-06-18T23:26:00.000+08:00

YT Sliming Programme. Day 1:
60 Push ups
40 Sit ups
4 Km Bladed

Lol... This is a show which i call no imagination. I mean it was ok. Mediocre. Yes it did have it's special effects and stuff. But i'm looking for the OMPH! which was nowhere to be found.

The usual jessica alba nosebleed. The oh-so-Mr.Fantastic stretch. The obnoxious Human Ash, i mean Torch. And there is a Thing in my pocket, not one, but many(nokia ad =.=)

7 Bucks for a show meant for kids. 7 Bucks to hear a hysterical laughter throughout the show, the was this guy sitting in the same row as me and my primary school classmates(we meet up every monday night). He was freaking laughing at the lamest lines in the show, and would burst out laughing even when there wasn't dialogue. I mean really LOL kind of laugh. WTF man get a grip, it's fantastic 4 not shrek 3.

The show is cheesy... really. *SPOILER WARNING!* I mean how in the high heavens can Galactus die? Isn't he the almighty villian in Marvel comics? I mean he can't die just because silver surfer self-destructed... =.= *SPOILER END!*

Anyway, today i kick off my YT Sliming Programme. It consists of a daily static exercise of 50~60 push ups, 50~60 sit ups and either a 2km jog or 4km of blading. I'll write my daily exercise routines at the start of the blog entries so you guys can keep check of my fitness too! And "motivate" me to keep going.

Soon i'll look like....

It's so overused, but what the hell anyway.

Oh today at Starbucks, i met this super stuck up gentleman. The bloody ass was damn impatient with the cashier. So he said,"Just call me when you're done." And he just went to sit down. Since i was next in line, i moved up. The cashier was fiddling with the cash register so i waited. The female cashier then whispered to her male colleague to ask the guy to pay up. So here comes the guy, frustrated for dunno wad reason. Comes to the spot where i was standing and behold! HE SCOFFED AT ME! I WAS LIKE What the F. The freaking stuck-up ass didn't bother to say excuse me and he just stood there and scoffed at me. Bloody ass even had the nerve to ask the Starbucks personel to "SERVE" he and his bitch girlfriend their Hot chocs. Bloody assO.

On a lighter note, i got this really cool looking postcard from Starbucks.(Thanks Glen, though i really meant that i didn't want to take one just now.)

That's all for this extremely long post~ Bye!

Speed Cubing

2007-06-18T10:12:00.000+08:00

Take a look at this 20sec one handed rubik cube solving. Decided to check out some speed cubing vids after Jeremy commented about how these guys can crazily solve a rubik cube in like under a minute. This video is one of the better ones as u can see the colours actually moving around.

Speaking about cubes, have you seen the prices of high end gaming laptops?
Imagine spending 12k SGD on Alienware's Top-end gaming notebook or 8.4k on Rockdirect's "Rig". What you get from such a powerful gaming notebook is a flamegrilled hole in ur money pouch, not to mention a well deserved scolding from your parents. But, is it worth it?

HELL YEA!

Amazing how much processing power you can squeeze out from the Aurora mALX. Terrence was talking about getting a laptop that will run Starcraft2 for uni. I'm sure this can pawn the game. However, i think you can actually pay 2 years' worth of school fees with that damn laptop too. LOL.

//On a side note, there was no link between the speed cubing and the notebooks. I juz added that for more words. =)

Seriously. Do something about the foreign workers!

2007-06-17T23:32:00.000+08:00

My nick is Neolithus. This guy VT, whom i presume to be foreign with a lousy command of english was trying to barter for an item i was selling.

I rest my case.

What did u do this Sunday?

2007-06-17T22:53:00.000+08:00

Stayed home and gained 2 levels on Granado Espada, being the hardcore gamer that i am.

Here's some stuff i found while surfing youtube.

GE version 2.2 Witches of Bahamar

Granado Espada Raid Party At ZOUK

2007-06-17T10:25:00.001+08:00

Hmmm, last minute decided to go there with my fren's to buy the LIMITED EDITION BOX SET. Only 9999 copies have been produced worldwide and my copy number is 3,135 out of the 9,999.

Here's the advertisement.

There was also a performance by TK band, few cool rigs for us to log in and play GE, Cosplayers, real life "quests" for us to complete to recieve Angel Wings for our in-game characters. Overall, the party was full of things t see and do. However, it was quite packed and my friend had to leave like 1hour after we managed to get in.

Seriously, another blog?

2007-06-16T09:52:00.000+08:00

About 99% of blogs get abandoned like the 4/5 of my 'older' blogs. Maybe my life isn't interesting to blog about.

Hell no, my life is interesting. (All 8 months of slacking) Anyway, i've been playing Granado Espada since it was released and if i didn't have to go for that Damned ICT for 5 days, i prolly be lvl 60+ now.

16 June is the GE Zouk Raid Party. I couldn't make it in time to sign up and i had no one to go with. So i'll just have to wait for the news tomorrow.

Back to the reason for this blog. It'll probably be about my uneventful life (trying to make it as eventful as possible) and also about my gaming and my thoughts. Hopefully this blog can really last thru the 1st year barrier. Provided i really take time to post.

Game of life. Life of games.
