What Do We Live For? Dreams :D

暑假完咯！

2011-07-17T23:22:00.004+08:00

十一点二十九分。。。

再过三十一分钟，短短一周的暑假就要过去了。。。

写着的当儿，在 Windows Media Player 打开了我的韩语 MTVs。第一支播出的 MV 竟然是 Super Junior K.R.Y 的 "Fly"。感觉有点讽刺，但又有些奇妙。

因为三十分钟前，在洗澡间里听的是郭静的“每一天都不同”。两首歌曲中的歌词是有点矛盾的。

虽然两首歌都是激励人心的，但意境却有着微妙的不同。。。

明天就开学了！有点不知所措，有点说不上来的不安。。。是烦闷？还是厌倦？总之就是不想开始的感觉。

这一周里，睡了好多，其实也没有做些什么，也就是玩一玩电脑游戏 Witcher 2, 看完了“巾帼枭雄”第一部，走了一趟柔佛夜市。但就是感觉九个月来课业中累积的劳累还没还清。。。哈哈。。。

这是最后的三个月了，之后又得开始工作生涯。今天吃晚饭的时候，老妈还担心我毕业后找不到工作，虽说“不会，不会”，但心里其实还蛮害怕的。。。银行户口还真的空空是也。。。

明天就要确定是否下个学期要做 DemoReel 还是 Shortfilm。。。一点头绪都没有。。。老师们似乎都很不支持我们做后者，因为找工作时 DemoReel 好像是定胜负的一切。

心里其实是想挑战做 Individual Shortfilm，但害怕的因素真的好多好多。。。

心。。。生病了。。。。。。

重逢

2011-06-19T12:07:00.007+08:00

好久好久不见！
竟然有三年了,有点不可思议。。。 :D

最近发生了好多心痛的事，也从中得到了小小的领悟。
发现自己交友还满失败的，有时候想找个人说一说话也没有。

谈恋爱的谈恋爱，结婚的结婚，工作的工作。
可能这都是人生的一个过渡期，尤其到了我这个年纪。哈哈！
“脸书”的一个讯息，让我想起了这里！
可能用文字写下来，可以有助心情的释放：）

三年里，转换了好几份工作。转呀转，回到了学生的身份。
心情的起伏转折之大，自己竟然也没有发现。一切似乎来得太快了。

虽然现在还满享受读书生涯，但小时念书所没有的压力与责任感，竟一涌而上。
从一开始的兴奋，到执意，到被比较（量），到愤怒，混乱，失望，平静。。。
就有如武侠小说里，用了毕生的精力去对抗，但又谈何容易？

开心的事其实也不算没有，像是爱上了韩流，学习制作动画，追看假面骑士OOO，收集玩具等。
只是我一直以来就是个超~~~~~~ 悲观的人就是了，哈。

付出与收获虽然无法划上等号，但有时持续的太久，还真的让人好累好累。。。
你一切累计的用心，被他人的一句话，就像被丢进垃圾桶一样，毫无价值。

没有任何讨论的机会，可能伤心多日，换来的只是“你反省了吗？”。
我想通了又如何？他所谓的简单，只不过是把刀在皮肤划过（像papercut一样，无色无痕迹，却痒痛无比！），再隐藏起来吧了？
可能根本不把你放在眼里，因为有更大的"存在"等着他去供奉，你又为何如此难过呢？

当然，每个人在对“好”的定义上都不一样，很多时候很可能是自己“自作多情”。
况且，在某重意义上，“好”是会附属压力的，所以也不用太在乎，顺其自然吧！

烦。

没有幽默感的人。。。挚友？别做梦了。。。

起点

2008-03-05T01:06:00.005+08:00

我想。。。
我是一个拒绝长大的小孩

念书的我
向往高尚生活
踏入社会的我
发觉金钱的恐怖与可怕

在几所不同的公司上班后
慢慢的爬上阶层
看到了黑暗
人心的黑暗

人们为了追求“更好”的生活
他们开始不择手段
可以适应的称那为“上进/适应能力强”
不能适应的被称为“固执/幼稚”

只因为他们 “看不惯/不爽”
建立了三十多年的教育体系
一刹那化为乌有
人生最基本的到哪儿去了？

我属于后者
虽然暂时还无法游出这无止境的漩涡
像在高速公路上　拼了命踩刹车器
我还是会坚持的
小心翼翼的抓紧
保护自己这一份小小的天真

“放弃，不是一件可耻的事
放不下，只因为失去了原来”

Return To Innocence - Enigma

Love - devotion
Feeling - emotion

Dont be afraid to be weak
Dont be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence

If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself dont hide
Just believe in destiny

Dont care what people say
Just follow your own way
Dont give up and use the chance
To return to innocence

Thats not the beginning of the end
Thats the return to yourself
The return to innocence

Dont care what people say
Follow just your own way
Follow just your own way
Dont give up, dont give up
To return, to return to innocence.
If you want then laugh
If you must then cry
Be yourself dont hide
Just believe in destiny

That's Life?

"我丟棄　對我最好的
可是一關上燈　全部都回來了"

一向来对陳綺貞的词意都是模糊的
对于忙碌与不间断的工作感到疲惫
今天无意中看了“简单就是：美”
一段一段刺进心头的旁白
仿佛让自己赤裸裸的
站到了身命的边缘

对于节目中可以放弃一切
敢于追求理想的人感到敬佩
快速发展的文明与城市
在造就了无数了不起发明的当儿
又创造了多少的悲哀

要能够脱离现代城市的缩博
究竟需要多少的勇气与领悟呢？
就如歌词所写的
在你能够不顾一切的抛开所有
没有了你所一意固执的必要时
其实一切就在你身边
至少。。。我是这么认为的。。。

你。。。放开了吗？

题：如果你剩下二十四小时的身命，你最想做的是？
答：造常的过日子吧~！

活于当儿，活于现在。。。

My Own Ktv Ethnics

2008-01-31T09:53:00.000+08:00

A friend of mine once told me that she is very selective who she goes with to the ktv. Being a ktv go-er for many years, I didn't understand why she acted that way.

Until recently, I realized that the mindset of going to a nasty ktv session really irritates me. Or maybe it's the age that's catching up on me. Due to these various reasons, I have yet to enter the ktv for a long time.

The BIG 5 are mainly:

1) The Flooder - People who hugs on to the remote (once they get into the room) and floods the capacity of the dedication list.

2) The Whiner - Extention of the Flooder, whining of their coarse voice after singing the full length of their OWN dedications.

3) The Pretender - Another extension of the flooder. Telling you to insert a song (as the list is flooded by their own dedications), who in turns insert their songs over yours.

4) The Chat Box - Please proceed to the kopitiam. (I don't really mind talking, but shouting? No way.)

5) The Show Off - Sings (or rather shouts) loudly, when it's not their turn w/o using the microphone. I appreciate people who ask if they can sing (not shout) together, and please....use the microphone.

*PS: The above are purely my own preferences. 如有雷同，纯属巧合.

WITHOUT LOVE

SEAWEED
(climbing in Penny's window)
Psst Penny! What happened?!

PENNY (strapped into bed)
My mother's punishing me for going to jail without permission!

SEAWEED
Well, I'm here to save the fair maiden in her tower.

PENNY
Oh, Seaweed!

LINK (sneaking into jail)
Tracy, you took beautiful behind bars!

TRACY
It must be the low-watt instutionai lighting!

LINK
Oh Tracy, they can keep us from kissing,
but they can't stop us from singing!

LINK
Once i was a selfish fool
Who never understood
I never looked inside myself
Though on the outside, i looked good!

Then we met and you made me
The man i am today
Tracy, i'm in love with you
No matter what you weigh
'Cause...

LINK (& ENSEMBLE)

Life is rock 'n' roll without
A drummer

Tracy, i'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love
Tracy, never set me free
No, i ain't lyin'
Never set me free, Tracy,
No, no, no!!

TRACY
Once i was a simple girl
Then stardom came to me
But i was still a nothing
Though a thousand fans may
Disagree

ENSEMBLE
Tracy!!

TRACY
Fame was just a prison
Signing autographs a bore
I didn't have a clue
'Til you came banging on my door

TRACY (& ENSEMBLE)
That without love
Life is like my dad without his bromo
Without love
Life is making out with perry como!

Darling, i'll be yours forever
'Cause i never wanna be
Without love
So darling, throw away the key

LINK & TRACY
I'm yours forever

TRACY
Throw away the key

LINK, TRACY& ENSEMBLE
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

SEAWEED
Living in the ghetto
Black is everywhere ya go
Who'd 've thought i'd love a girl
With skin as white as winter's snow

PENNY
In my ivory tower
Life was just a hostess snack
But now i've tasted chocolate
And i'm never going back

PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
'Cause without love

SEAWEED
Life is like a beat that you can't follow

PENNY & SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE

PENNY
Life is doris day at the apollo

I've found my blue-eyed soul

SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
Sweet freedom is our goal

Life's getting my big break and laryngitis

ALL

PENNY
Life's a '45' when you can't buy it

ALL

TRACY
Life is like my mother on a diet

ALL
Like a week that's only mondays
Only ice cream never sundaes
Like a circle with no center
Like a door marked "do not enter!"

DARLING, I'LL BE YOURS FOREVER
'Cause I never wanna be...

Without love

PENNY & LINK
Yes now you've captured me

ENSEMBLE
Without love

SEAWEED & TRACY

ALL
Darling, you had best believe me,
Never leave me without love!

IT TAKES TWO

LINK
They say it's a man's world
Well, that cannot be denied
But what good's a man's world
Without a woman by your side
And so i will wait
Until that moment you decide

LINK & GUYS
That i'm your man
And you're my girl
That i'm the sea
And you're the pearl
It takes two, baby,
It takes two
Doo doo - wop!

LINK
A king ain't a king
Without the pow'r behind the throne
A prince is a pauper. Babe,
Without a chick to call his own
So please, darling, choose me
I don't wanna rule alone
Tell me,

LINK & GUYS
I'm your king
And you're my queen
That no one else
Can come between
It takes two, baby,
It takes two

GUYS
Don't you know

LINK
Lancelot had guinevere
Mrs. Claus has old st. Nick
Romeo had juliet
And liz, well, she has her dick

They say it takes two to tango
Well, that tango's child's play
So take me to the dance floor
And we'll twist the night away

Just like frankie avalon
Had his favorite mouseketeer
I dream of a lover, babe,
To say the things 1 long to hear
So come closer baby,
Oh and whisper in my ear

TRACY (in anything but a whisper)
Yeah!

LINK
That you're my girl
And i'm your boy
That you're my pride
And i'm your joy
That i'm the sand
And you're the tide
I'll be the groom
If you'll be my bride
It takes two, baby,
It takes two

TRACY (& GUYS)
I'm your girl (you're my girl)
You're my boy (i'm your boy)
You're my pride
I'm your joy
I'm the sand
You're the tide
Be the groom
I'll be your bride (be my bride)

It takes two...
It takes two...

LINK
It takes two, baby

TRACY & LINK
It takes two

GUYS
...Two - oo - îîí!

YOU CAN"T STOP THE BEAT

TRACY
You cant stop an avalanche
As it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons, girl
But ya know you never will
And you can try to stop my dancin' feet

But i just cannot stand still
Cause the world keeps spinnin'
Round and round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way

TRACY & LINK
Cause you can't stop the beat

Ever since this old world began
A woman found out if she shook it
She could shake up a man
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The best that i can today

'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But i never ask why

And if you try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you cant stop the beat!

PENNY
You can't stop a river
As it rushes to the sea

SEAWEED
You can try and stop the hands of time
But ya know it just can't be

PENNY
And if they try to stop us, Seaweed,
I'll call the N Double A C P
Cause the world keeps spinning
Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way

PENNY & SEAWEED
Cause you can't stop the beat

PENNY & SEAWEED
Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it
On a saturday night
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
With all my might today

'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise
We're dreamin' of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
Cause you cant stop the beat!

EDNA
You cant stop my happiness
Cause i like the way i am
And you just can't stop my knife and fork
When i see a christmas ham
so if you don't like the way i look
Well, i |ust don't give a damn!

EDNA & ENSEMBLE
Cause the world keeps spinning
Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time

感动

2007-12-11T12:00:00.000+08:00

曾几何时
我已望了如何感动。。。

她的演唱会
感觉有点匆忙
有点太快
有点不知所措
有点回忆
但又无法掌握。。。

夜晚
工作忙碌之余
让我想一想我体会
还是会寂寞我感动
旅行的意義落泪。。。

仿佛从新走了一次人生旅途
观众的热情和呐喊
我体会我感动
共鸣就是这样产生的吧。。。

还是会寂寞
曲:陈绮贞
词:陈绮贞

早已忘了想你的滋味是什么
因为每分每秒都被你占据在心中
你的一举一动牵扯在我生活的隙缝
谁能告诉我离开你的我会有多自由

也曾想过躲进别人温暖的怀中
可是这么一来就一点意义也没有
我的高尚情操一直不断提醒着我
离开你的我不论过多久还是会寂寞

别对我小心翼翼
别让我看轻你
跟着我勇敢的走下去
别劝我回心转意
这不是廉价的爱情
看着我对我说真爱我

Bad Dream... Good Dream... Prophecy?

2007-11-29T13:51:00.000+08:00

Been sometime since I've last posted~! Somehow I need to get this "mood" to start churning before I can post an entry, and not just write for the sake of keeping my blog up to date.

Anyways, have been REALLY busy with work nowadays... burned two weekends... and will keep burning the following 2-3 weeks. That aside, a few days ago I dreamt, I'd actually call it a good dream? Cuz I woke up smiling.

Age in Dream: 20+
Outfit: T-Shirt/Jeans
Role: A tutor that teaches music
Scenario: Teaches music to a group of students around the age of approx. 12-14

Ok... I know there's nothing fascinating with the above "short" of details, but you know how it's quite rare for us to remember the complete details of a dream. The reason for feeling glad after I woke up is the fact that it has always been my dream to be able to teach music (work in background music industry)...

I almost felt that I was zoomed into the portal of the good ol' secondary school band days. There was goal and passion for the things I did. No matter how extensive the time is spent on the activity, it was never too tiring or stressful. Only the mindset to excel and do my best.

Now that the dream has become impossible, I am back in the line of my career doing design. The difference is that I really dread the long working hours, endless pounding through the nights, and the lack of an active lifestyle besides sitting at the desk, drawing and drawing and drawing... ...

How many people live just to fit into the expectations of the society? A dreaded never ending cycle... Is life all about money, marraige and passing down the line? How many of us really sit down and think of our life besides slogging at our job and families? Is that all there is to a life cycle?

"IS IT EASIER TO LIVE A A COMMONPLACE OR GLAMOUROUS LIFE?"

情歌 - 側田

作曲：雷頌德 | 填詞：林夕 | 編曲：雷頌德 | 監製：雷頌德　

為了愛我真受夠傷　但有過愛的分享
為了每次打敗仗　我哭得最響
沒有過愛的技倆　有幾好亦自量
不去用腦想　牽掛又會有幾傷　

聽見最浪漫纏綿的歌　聽幾多次也落淚的歌
我才明愛恨因果　懂得心痛要恭賀
興奮妒忌苦惱怨恨完全憑心魔　然而無論有幾多愛錯
那紀念屬我　開心比苦惱多

#其實傷心都不過為愛　同樣知活得開心靠愛
情像一首歌　可一總可再
失戀後幸運再能重頭戀愛
付出過偉大到放開　沒有得到好報便分開 (亦勝孤單一個沒戀愛)#　

知不知錯　亦但求被愛
苦戀的　大概與某個他比賽
單戀的　設法參透怎去活到死也要戀愛　

Repeat (#)　

明白我生死都也為愛　孱弱得為了一粒沙感慨
人存在世上　若要悲壯過　便投入愛海沒有害
怕接觸痛苦　全為怕分開
誰亦未信　首先相信愛　

聽見世上勾引眼淚能迷魂的歌
纏綿華麗已經綁架我
你化了我　眼淚算得甚麼

我我没有害过人
只想失恋也有名份
我太乐意献一吻
为什么这温柔会犯禁
若你我可抱着睡
连命也甘心短几岁
谁能及我
将性命也豁出去
若与你好有罪
全是律例不对
我要追
离弃世界亦要追
宁愿天去收我
也替你受重伤
金刚跟美女恋上
也是个传奇狂想
纵是遗憾收场
都必需跟你
明刀明枪
子弹不怕上
一级级上塔尖欣赏
欣赏你忧伤
就算你早有别人
无碍我争取梦中人
扶摇直上
高到共你能拥吻
别说到太高深
能自愿便相衬
够决心
越中箭我越勇敢
不屑不信不怕
打击更令我坚强
这纵是妄想
能得到你给举世景仰
我有我梦与想
多高攀也敢攀上
这份爱传奇无双
苦命人
相拥俯看
世上风霜

I like this part of the lyrics, 谁能及我将性命也豁出去, 若与你好有罪全是律例不对.
It can apply to all kinds of relationships and not just between couples.

What is the world coming to? And where is "IT" leading us?... ...

I'm Back...(For Good I Hope :p)

2007-11-14T22:51:00.000+08:00

Greetings,

It's been really long since i've last blog~! Somehow I think that blogspot is very nice not to delete the accounts by users (like me), who doesn't log on to their account quite so often (ok... I know for my case it's more than just "often").

Before I dwell on, just something short for those that needs to be updated (well, although I'm not expecting anyone whom I do not know to read this, but just to fulfill the regular blogging "format").

Let's see... I'll start from where I can remember...

1) Went to China twice for an overseas interior design project in June (I think... I mean the month).
2) Went thru my reservice in july.
3) Went thru my IPPT RT 1st and 2nd phase, but still miss my 2.4km run by 20secs.
4) Switched jobs, still doing design.
5) 1st attempt to cook Muthu's Curry (after reading Addited to Curry) which turned out to be more like curry flavour soup (that's suitable for cooking instant noodles).
6) 5th attempt to make cheese cake. I like it although my pals doesn't. So it's either I have exotic tastebuds or it tastes really awful.
7) Continue to exercise and keep fit ^^ although I'm not sure how much longer I can continue this.
8) Bought my 1st ever laptop ^^ (my ancient pc finally gave up on me).
9) Conquered Singapore highest peak, with a "splendid" view of Singapore's very own "Niagara Falls".
10) Started to blog again... ...

The main reason for the "empty window" of not blogging (besides being lazy and quick in losing interest in whatever I do), is the fact that I do not remember, or take account of, my daily stuff too well. It's not like I'm brain dead or whatever, but the fact that my brain is constantly switching between stuff and issues thus by the end of the day, nothing stays long enough in my tiny brain unless it was something major. Maybe I'm just a mutated version of a goldfish (and probably named dory, u can ask nemo).

It's an irony that I'm working in the design field because I have to say that I do not know of how, to "cosmetic" my blog as i do not like taking photos, except scenery but there's no cash for travel and there's really not much scenery to take in Singapore (at least that's what I feel). And my daily life is nothing anywhere near "interesting" or "weird" or otherwise enough to be shouted around, unless maybe something really BIG happened (like fighting a bear).

Anyways... I have not decided what kind of blog I would want to create. It seems that most blogs are dedicated to the writer's own daily life, some are dedicated to food (I love those, yummy :D), some to medicine, others to photos... etc etc. Yup too much too mention...

So now I'm at this juncture realizing the fact that I am AGAIN in the vicious cycle of squeezing my mutated tweeny weeny goldfish brain of what to blog everyday. Somehow or rather, something that "stressful" just doesn't really appeal to me. Haha...

Goodluck...

To me ^^

范逸臣(Fan Ri Chen): 不说出的温柔

This is definitely his best album so far. The album consists mostly of rock numbers with a few of his usual love hits such as Track 1: Love Story, chink out (Track 2: 醉青楼). Being a pub singer himself before entering the entertainment circle, there's no doubt his singing is up to par. Moving away from his previous love ballad numbers, I find him more suited for this style which puts the power of his voice to good use. I enjoyed the whole album from beginning till the end, as the energy keeps seeping out, going on and on. Hope you will enjoy it too :D *Recommended Tracks: 3.Love & Money, 7.最最爱, 12.用心听.

Long Time No See...

2006-04-20T18:56:00.000+08:00

It's been yet again quite some time I've published anything here. No excuses, just plain lazy. Haha... ...

Tomorrow will mark one month for me at my new job. It's rather ok here except that the workload is much more than my previous. Lotsa OT, clients will just never be satisfied with the proposals, late nights, coffee, maggi mee... ... etc. Still trying hard to get used to the environment really.

Been attending my vocal lessons regularly, no choir practices this month cuz most of the members are away for their Uni exams. Teacher says that I have improved on my singing. Hooray! Bad thing is that she wants me to take part in an internal showcase which is just 1.5 weeks away! I don't think there's time to prepare so I think I'll just act blur, hoping that she forget about it :P

I'm Listening To... ...

2006-04-20T18:16:00.000+08:00

张栋梁(Zhang Dong Liang) : 主打张栋梁

Nice album. Mainly sentimentals plus a few mid tempo songs. Look out for Track No 5: 忘记爱过, something different from his usual songs, but brought out pretty well. Recommended tracks 3, 5 and 6.

2 Weeks... ...In Short...

2006-01-21T00:57:00.000+08:00

Been two weeks since the last update... lotsa things happened but have been lazy :P... ... Since I'm waiting for my maple character to recover his life (currently hunting bubbling for fish spear), I thought I'll just take this opportunity to write something.

Big big thing that happened on 10th Jan was Soundsez retreat. Collected cake for YX early in the morning and went for a gym session. The retreat was fun, and as usual was laughing non-stop, especially the "Titanic" part. Why do I always have to play the lousy role? Lol... This time thanks to my 'dept' colleague SY. Luckily CL was sporty enough to play through the stuff, very "paisei"... ... The KTV session was very fun too. Especially the JS + JJ... ... oh... ... it's Soundsez version of 双'J'恋, haha... ...

Went back for my 1st session of vocal lesson that Sat. As usual YX was very good and taught me alot of stuff. And went for lunch with ZY at the street behind Bugis Junction for Taiwan's Beef Noodle. Yummy... Suppose to do shopping but ended up going to Carrefour and bought chocolates. After which met up with SJ and XF for dinner at Sushi Tei, Holland branch to discuss our overseas trip to Bangkok.

This week was a lazy week cuz I didn't exercise at all as DS was busy with work and so no gym. Stayed at home to play maple. Yesterday was the 1st choir session for the year. Some new changes but didn't really agree with some of it. Nevertheless, hope that there wil lbe great progress for us this year!

2nd vocal lesson today. I realize that I have alot of bad habits to change. Must practise hard, else will damage my vocal cords in the long term. Met up with AL and taught him autocad at BB mac. Pray I didn't teach him wrong stuff (wrong also duon't find me k? lol) :P

Not short enough? lol... ... ok la, 2 weeks ma :D

Another Holiday!

2006-01-10T00:29:00.000+08:00

Yea tomorrow is another holiday again! Wow... how I just love January. I've been working for 3 days per week for 3 weeks consecutively! Haha... ... So slack, almost am a pig now :P

But I finally started my training for IPPT. Although it's only been one week, I think I can start doing the aerobic exercises now - RUNNING! I HATE running, no words can describe how much I hate it. Why is running a part of IPPT and not swimming? I'm a frog (web feet), so I can only swim. Try telling a frog to run on the land and see what happens, it's unfair! No 天理... ... An-aerobic exercise are quite steady now, have increeased from 3 to 5 sets of exercise, and 4 to 7 types of exercises. So now it's the running part. Haiz... ... Someone save me... ... 救救救救救命命命命命啊啊啊啊啊~~~~！

Resumed my tanning sessions and got a haircut at Chapter 2. Quite exp sia, $35. But I think it's worth it cuz I've not been so satisfied with my hairstyle for a very long time. Seems like I very 自恋, haha... ... But I just want to look presentable now, since I can afford it. Wouldn't like to wait till I'm old then start to complain I wasted my youth (although I'm not very young also now) and start to wear all the hawaii flower prints :D

Was conversing with YS thru sms on bus today after my haircut. She told me tat she has decided not to attend the ktv session tml cause no other JJC gals are going. Well I expected it cuz I didn't think Lingz they all got invite them. Anyways, good luck to her for the solo performance. We'll get to sing a duet next time k? Lotsa chance :D

Tomorrow is Soundsez retreat! Looking forward to laughing till asthma :P Actually suppose to play board games b4 the retreat but ended up everyone wants to go to the gym because I say so. Now 5 big boys going to gym together, feel so weird haha... ... And night got ktv session to help Yanxing celebrate an early birthday. Hope got leftover cakes so can have a smashing time :D

Gotta sleep now. Wonder what "J" is doing? ... ... hmmm ... ...

Some updates on the website, here was the very initial concept layout for the main page...

Still a conceptualization only which I sent out to the others. Thanks to SY and Lingz for the help and comments :D

It Was A Great Night...

2006-01-08T02:34:00.000+08:00

Wow it was a great night! Went to Chinatown to enjoy the atmosphere with "J" yesterday night. We met at 4pm and realize the light up won't start till 7pm. Ended up sitting in Swensens at Chinatown Point to have ice-cream. Shared a Sizzling Apple Crumble Pie, not bad.

At around 6:15pm, we decided to go to the scene early so as to grab a good view. But we realized that the scene was already so crowded. And so unluckily, when we crossed the road and walked till the People's Park Center side, we realized that the stage was facing the other side of the road!?!? So we had to walked back all the way to Chinatown Point (cause that was the only shortest possible way due to the crowd and road blocks) and went down the street to arrive at the scene which was already crowded with aunties and uncles. These aunties and uncles made me really "du lan" when they try to squeeze infront of us. I mean, it's like everyone wants a good view, but since they arrive later, it didn't made sense to me that I should excuse them and let them through. Anyways, since they all old people, I didn't bother to argue.

What was funny was "J" was rather short and she wanted to take pictures of the stage event (her idol is LKY) but with her height and old camera which couldn't zoom far enough, we only managed to take miserable pictures (I admit I'm short too so those that I took were more or less 'sama sama'... lol).

We decided to leave the scene immediately after the light up (in order to avoid the crowd going home together later) and had dinner at PS foodcourt. After which we went to shop for CNY clothes. She couldn't get anything while I got a sweater unusable for CNY haha...

Had coffee at TCC outside PS and talked all the way till midnight. Lotsa laughter and funny stuff. It was a great and enjoyable day for me. Hope she enjoyed as well :P

Doesn't this sound like some old secondary school composition? Lol... ...

Spring Cleaning

2006-01-07T11:53:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year is around the corner. For the most, it's 红包 collection time but for me... it means SPRING CLEANING!!!

As these tiny 3rm hdb flat houses just me and my mum, I'm "lucky" to get all the dirty work (mum has an excuse for being old >_<). On the tour of cleaning, there are all the yucks and yikes from different type of specimens and... ... what else? Dust... ... Here's a list of top 10 "hits"... ... 1) Dust - ... ...What else? Found anywhere... ...

2) Cockroach (Dead or Alive, Big or Small) - Some fly, some don't (apparent not the dead ones). They create a state of "national emergency" and stampede. Found behind furniture & in drawers.

3) Cockroach Eggs and Faeces - These aren't real problems cuz they don't stick. I usually just pick them up with toilet paper.

4) Lizards' Faeces - These are the more annoying type cause they stick to high places which I have to climb up to clean, plus they leave a mark on the spot they stick to. Found on ceilings and corners.

5) Gnats - These little flies are those that always surround the banana when it's over-riped. They fly at mach speed and likes to irritate you by flying into your nose or mouth when you try to shoo them away. Found in my bathroom (don't ask my why but I think it's because of the sewage hole)

6) Dust + Oil - This is another one of the most irritating things to clean. What happens is that the oil fumes from cooking gets on the dust and they become sticky and difficult to clean. Have to use 'UIC Sof Scrub', a strong acidic solution to remove this... oh... I think this combination is called grime? Found in kitchen and anyplace near it.

7) Sand - It's just sand.

8) "Flying" ants + their eggs - Those that fly in after rainy days and goes into a lunatic air display at anything bright in your house. Comes in swarms. Found inside the lamp covers.

9) Ant's Nest - This is one that makes my hair stand on the tips. Usually happens beneath or under drawers that are not opened regularly. You have to "fountain" insecticide on them and clean up with toilet paper later (they stick cause of the insecticide, cannot sweep).

10) Mum - Not really something I'll find but something I'll recieve. Why do women likes to ask you to do something and you have to do it EXACTLY the way they want it to? It's absurb! If they want it so, do it themselves else please leave us men alone! :D

Somemore cleaning needs to be done. Hope I don't fall out of the windows.... Choy! Touch Wood... ...

Website, Website... ...

2006-01-07T03:42:00.000+08:00

It's almost 4am and I'm blogging.

I was "ordered" by Claire to submit the design for the Soundsez website by 2359hrs on 060106. Having not been able to hand it up on time, I pleaded for an extension. Now I'm supposed to hand it up by 080106, 2359hrs.

Two more days of hell... ...

I had no idea to start with so was trying to "get some ideas" from other websites. After finishing the entry page (unconfirmed), I had trouble doing the 1st page of the website. Damn... I really have no idea in mind (>_<)... ... Suddenly remembered I'm in this together with SY. found him on msn and tried to squeeze our brains for ideas. It's dry by now... ... Thanks for the help SY :D Going to see the "light-up" at chinatown tomorrow with friend "J". Looking forward to it.

Website? Who cares... ... haha... ...

My 1st Attempt... ...

I've Been Listening To... ...

2006-01-04T15:13:00.000+08:00

Quite some time since I posted anything on albums so here are a few that tide me through the exams and work... ...

元卫觉醒: 幸福下载

This was an album which I never expect myself to listen to due to the lack of publicity for being a not so lime light band. Anyways, the album was a totally new experience to me, an extension of rock from listening to Beck's Album then. It really cheers up your mood with the funny (yet realistic) lyrics and light hearted rhythm. Makes me younger a few years, haha... *Recommend Tracks: 4, 6 and 10

蔡淳佳: 有一天我会

I'm no doubt a local supporter (minus the "cockroach" beating singer...etc), so I try to listen to even the not so popular picks. She no doubt has an easy to differentiate voice and good techniques as well from her Ark Lounge Base. But I personally feel that that is also the problem of her albums. The songs are soothing, not too strong on any aspects. If any, it will most closely resemble older chinese pop. I like her voice though, maybe she just hadn't has the luck to get a great producer. Anyways, the album is great for nights and relaxation. *Recommend Tracks: 3, 7 and 9.

张敬轩: a.m./p.m (香港特别版)

This was another one of my "try it out" albums. Being not very famous locally, he is fairly famous in China clinching two consecutive years of most welcome male artist. Attracted to him from the early songs such as "My Way" till the recent "无能为力", I attempted to listen to this full album. The first half of the album (A.M) was rather ok, with a nice intro. The second half (P.M) was too much for me to comtemplate. It's a combination of electric pop and hmm.... new age? Couldn't get into it no matter how hard I tried. So I only listened to the first half of the album and the last track "Blessing" which I like alot... haha. *Recommend Tracks: 5, 6 and 12.

孙燕姿: 完美的一天

Another local favourite. No doubt her career has taken leaps and bounds since her 1st album. Her new album presents much more surprise than her previous one. I like every song of it. Less pop, more bite, less conventional. There's just something to her voice that captures each song well. Some might not agree, but nevertheless, this is one of her albums that I like since her 1st one. *Recommend Tracks: 4 and 7

梁静茹: 丝路 - 通往爱的路途

I listened to this album at a later date although it came out before Stephanie's album. Reason so was because I was dampened by the songs I heard on tv which were used for the local drama serials. Its like picture+sound effect, the picture ruined the sound, lol... Luckily I overheard the song "我还记得" on radio (not used for any local drama serial) and was once again captivated to listen to the album. The album proved to be quite pleasant. Although it followed the previous one where its rock+romantic ballads (so there was not much surprise), but I still like the way she handles the songs. If anyone was affected by the drama serials like me, I hope you will give this album a second chance. Its really good (although I still didn't like Track 1, haha). *Recommend Tracks: 2, 6 and 7.

Graduation Day 17 Dec 05

2006-01-04T14:41:00.000+08:00

My family. Thanks to my cousin who came all the way from Johore.

My classmates and lecturers

Graduation Day! Thanks to all my friends who visited :D

Here and There, This and That... ...

2006-01-04T09:10:00.000+08:00

Woke up a little late today. Was suppose to wake up at 7:30am but got up at 7:36am. Fast marched to the bus stop, got the bus, topped up my ezlink card and came to work, everything was done in mach speed... ... Now writing this post (boss not around, haha) :p

Got an sms reminder the other morning. It read: You are reminded to PASS your IPPT before your next birthday. You should book your IPPT now if you have not done so... ...etc.

I recalled that I was supposed to go for my 1st ICT in late Feb and I have not taken my IPPT for this work year. Went to miw.com and booked a date early Feb. Now, it's time to start training. OMG... I hate running... But having sitting around for 1 yr not exercising, my waistline is growing to the size of a barrel, waving triceps (the other way round) and climbing up a flight of stairs is like going to Mount Everest. I guess its high time I take notice of my health, even if I hate to exercise.

Was chatting with YS 2 days ago about June leaving JJC Choir. Seems like she's much more composed now. She left a touching post on her blog though. I remember we had a conversation on money being the center of everybody life nowadays. Maybe I have not reach that stage of life where I have to take up much responsibilities yet, but I had a sudden crazy thought of: What if currency was never invented? From counters to ingots to the current paper money, it contains a valuable history to note.

Money is good for everything; to be beautiful, to have friends (well some may not agree to this but I think it is true to an extend because to me socializing=money), to eat, to drink and even to shit (in some public toilets) needed money.

How much more can we be controlled by the $ sign? I just hope that the earth don't revolve around money and more kindness from people can really do some magic.

Boss back... ... "Stormy Weather"... Better get back to work

Getting On With Life

2006-01-03T14:55:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas! Performance at One Fullerton. (I was the spectator :D)

Hi to everyone out there! I guess each and everyone of you must be thinking that this blog has gone to the graveyard, but (as Jianfa foresees) haha... ... I'm back :D
If anyone have been reading my blog back then ( i suppose you wouldn't remember now even if you did, haha), you would have noticed that my life is always, school, work and more school and more work... ... I found that there was really nothing much to write about... ... So I decided to stop writing and get on with life. Especially since now I have graduated (Hooray! Well sort of anyways cause although I went through the graduation ceremony but am actually still awaiting the convocation)... ... and am getting back to my life, I have more things to share, so its a good time to start writing again... ...

So much for excuses :P

Anyways, I'm very glad to have finish my degree, hoping to get a place for honors which I will have to fly to Perth for it if the application goes through, I'm busy now getting to the title of this blog, Dreams... This time really resuming my vocal lessons full-time and also my piano lessons soon. Hoping to start music arrangement too... ...
Been running to choir these 2 weeks for practices for the JJC grad nite which turned out to be really fun and enjoyable. Although it seemed crazy, I managed to learn 3 new songs + 2 dance choreography in a week and performed. Luckily no big mistakes on that day (else June will be screaming) and it was worth the effort. Thanks to Claire for recommending me to use a piano score program to play out the tune, else I would never have been able to do it in such a short time. Also thanks to my partner YinSing, my tenor section, June and anyone else who helped :D
Performance at East Point Shopping Mall was cool too, except the crowd was stingy with the clapping and the it was the 1st time I performed a song by learning it on the spot,

Quite a craze. (well actually I smoked through it, don't ask me how I did it :P)

What went worse was with June, who happened to be touchy that day due to her migraine, growing to the peak with the absence of Claire who was in "coma", which in turn had her tackling on the issue of changing duets (unfortunately I was in this, all "THANKS" to HR), and the bad acoustics for Blue Moon. Finally, everything erupted when she broke the news to the JJC gals at the end of the show but luckily, it soothen all the tensions for that day and the mall did not get flooded by singapore's small version of the "Yellow River"... ...
Soundsez is undergoing the Golden Vote again... ... Hope I get something EZ this time... ... (June and YX is going to get me for this) haha... ...

I'm Listening To... ...

2005-07-20T00:06:00.000+08:00

JS: 遇见未来。。。

Very good album. Listed in one of my TOP 10 must Listen. Although it's produced last year. JS stands for Justin and Sophia (their names). Brother composes and sister sings. The whole album is great. No "low point" while listening :D A true gem =p

Show I'm Watching

2005-07-20T00:02:00.000+08:00

仙剑奇侠传: A very touching story. Go see it!

Long Break...

2005-07-19T22:58:00.000+08:00

It's been a long long time since my last post. Last week been busy watching 仙剑奇侠传 and slacking my time away. So gotta catch up on work now as there will be deadlines to meet every week. Everything is lagging behind, jia you!
Was thinking of changing job recently. Having mixed feelings about it cuz although I tell myself that I do not have time to cope with my studies as there's 2 serious stuff going on, it seems likewise. Jobs like factory and F&B probably allows more flexibility in time management and it's the kind of job that you go to work, go home, forget about it stuff. Doing something full-time is an altogether different thing.
Yah like I was saying, I guess I leisure too much... ... not exactly leisure though cuz most of the time I just daydream my time away at home since I don't go out frequently. My brain doesn't start working after 12am so 8pm-12am is a stagnant period for me. BUT AGAIN... I can't work too late as there's work the next day. Very self-contradicting yeah....
I guess I have to adjust my lifestyle to suit what I'm doing now so I've decided to give myself a bit more time to go through this period to see if I'm really not suitable. Anyways, a big project was cancelled today so I feel much more relax doing my work. LUCKY :D I guess in life you don't always get what you want, but there's always surprises; good ones I hope ;p
Finally got to resume my pop vocal lessons with my teacher last Sat. It was an extrememly brilliant lesson I would say. I'm very fortunate to have known my teacher and get the chance to learn singing from her because she's really astonishing, the kind that can pick out your faults by just listening to you sing a few sentences and find a remedy to it. Only 1 lesson and I feel I'm singing better already! LUCKY x 2 :D
Gotta study again sianz. 7 presentation boards to go c(-_-)''''

Another Week of School

2005-07-11T23:05:00.000+08:00

It's been a week since my last post. Been really lazing around last week, going out with friends mostly, and havrn't been doing much school work. Only started to panic last night to rush for today's submission (and rushing today for tomorrow's submission. haha!)
Monday to Weds was school nights so no play, thurs went to eat at Plaza Sing - Lao Beijing (cuz got NKF $25 voucher), slept all e way afterwards. Fri met up with my friend who just got back from Aust for her winter holis. Had a great time catching up with the funnies she had over there. Treat her to Lao Beijing at PS again. Also got my long awaited "Chinese Paladin" drama serial, or more well-knowned as 仙剑奇侠传! The early part is really sucky but it got better and better after 林月如 came in, although it was a lot different from the PC game. Cannot compare or else will vomit blood, Lol.... Jus take it as a new story. Some parts are really funny. Anyone interested can get the show from me, or go dl the BT, it's all over the web :D If you wanna know wat's the story about, can check it out at http://ent.sina.com.cn/v/f/xjqxz/
Sat got half day work, then started to watch the drama. Night went to celebrae Yun's birthday at "pak gou yi" with jie and fong at jurong west cuz she wanted to eat sambal stingray. Went to Holland V to hang out at starbucks for coffee and cake cutting session.
Sun was study day + watch drama. haha... The show is getting better :D
Tonight's school wasn't so bad although I was still below my lecturer's expectations, my classmates did even less. Haha, I tot only I slack ;p
Now is study time again. Will be busy this 6 weeks cuz every week also got dateline to meet and expectations are quite high. Zzzz... Jiayou!

Holidays Ending...

2005-07-02T01:29:00.000+08:00

Ops, jus realised that it's been a week since my last post! Time really flies, especially when it's happy times... lol...
Had a pyjamas party last Sat at Xiaofeng's sister's house with Baobao, Zhiwei, Daphne, Sijie, Junwen, Brandon all JSSMB band friends. We did it cuz it's Bao's birthday so we decided to cook a meal for her BUT it turned out to be a real mess. The chicken fillet which I attempted to fry happened to "quarrel" with the breadcrumbs and they couldn't stay together, Brandon's meatballs and scramble eggs turned out to be swimming in oil -_-'''. Even microwaved food like fish fingers and pizza turn out to be dancing in flames and over-tanned.
Those that stayed edible happens to be the easy-to-cook dishes like cockles (boil in water), buttered sweetcorn (boil in water also), salad (no need to cook), and Junwen's "prawn paste chicken" (which was cooked out of the "mum's cuisine" type of instant packet seasoning). The best dish that came out of the kitchen was the dessert of green been soup+sweet potato. Although we forgot to buy the sago so it didn't turn out to be very smooth in texture.
Brandon, Junwen left afterwards followed by Daphne being busy with work, beach party and "not-used-to-unfamiliar beds" respectively. Sijie had a hard time staying awake so we tried to watch "Madagascar" after which I dragged them to have supper around 4pm at the 24hrs prata shop a stone throw aways. We decided to go to bed after supper and went home the next day.

Monday: Was a normal day. Went to work, came home, sleep, wake up, tried to do some holiday studying, sleep.

Tuesday: Was the same as above except I had a big quarrel with my mum. The usual -_-"'zzzz

Weds: Went to Ulu Pandan CC with Yanxing, Ziyuan, Sis and Haoren to decide on the room that we would like to be known as our "homebase". After some heated discussion, we decided to setup the place in the Ground Shelter. We then went to a nearby coffeshop to 383838 as usual. Went home around 10pm. Walked a looonnggg way to the bus stop as someone in the group decided we should explore the neighbourhood... -_-'''

Thurs: Same as monday. Lol ;p

Fri: Went to NIESB for my 2nd round of practice. Still had difficulties maintaining my breathe support but overall it was ok except I think my fingers have started to fossilize and my eyes a tempo slower. Now I'm here writting this blog.

Gtg now. Have to finish my journal for submission tomorrow. Ciaoz

End of Exams

2005-06-25T03:22:00.000+08:00

Finally ended my final presentation on Weds. It felt really weird the moment it ended though because I didn't feel anything at all when it ended. It was more like "Finish liao ah?.... .... ok lor" kinda feeling. I also dunno why, maybe too tired to feel anything, or there just wasn't any drive left in me to feel so c(-.-)???

Immediately went for a KTV session after a long time with the choir gang. Although the turn out was pretty bad, but it was a really fun night. Firstly I wan't to say paisei to Jingjing, Siyang and Ziyuan because they didn't sing much. Next time must sing more songs ok? Lol...

Been sometime since I practise my singing but got on track after a few songs. I guess the only song I've ever sang with effort is "Piano", the rest all anyhow skim through, hahaha. Apologise to those pple who need to endure my nonsense throughout the session :P Sis you no need to paisei lo, cuz I sing your JJ's songs till even worst., like kill chicken, kill duck... lol... I will try to pract his songs too, but his pitch quite high, so I must train high high also... hahaha

Returned to NIE Symphonic Band today by request from Mr Tan (my sec sch band instructor) after resting for half a year. I was glad that I could still play although the tone of the instrument was like kill chicken, kill duck also, lol. It got better after some time though. Thinking it over, I once thought that my band life has come to an end but after playing today, I found that my passion is still there actually. I'll definitely try to go back and play if time allows. but there's quite a number of items on my "to do" list now so I'll decide which to do when my schedule for next term released next week.

So much for now. Tomorrow is pyjamas party at my friends house! Another play day, heh heh... :)

2005-06-21T00:59:00.000+08:00

New Singaporean singer. Listening to this now. Something new to me cuz it's rock music in the whole album. I tot he sounded a little like Jacky Cheung in some areas now find that he got quite a good voice and technique for a new singer. His falsetto is pretty impressive for one thing. Those who wan to learn can listen to his. haha... One of the best album I would recommend for this yr :)

2 more days to exams last paper....

2005-06-21T00:41:00.000+08:00

Well 35 hrs and 18 mins actually. OMG, time and time really waits for no man (hmm.. do they wait for the woman though? :P).
Finally finished my 3d software design from what you can see below. Just when I thought I have finished my report writting, the lecturer told us some other impt points that is to be included in the report and now I have to make big changes to it! WTH???!?!
Well, better not do anymore talking. Really looking forward to the KTV outing on Thurs and pyjamas party on sat! Omg... work 1st... work 1st..... Control.... control.... cont....con...c..... zzzzzz

2005-06-20T00:12:00.000+08:00

Went out with Ziyuan today. Friday crowd at City Hall mrt station is no joke. It reminds me of my younger days where I accompany my mother to the wet market every sunday. 1st went to Esplande, my previous workplace California Bistro to collect the paycheck they owe me for last month. Both of us then decided to have Jap food for dinner. Skipped Shima Aji at Esplanade and went to the newly renovated Marina Square to check out the place. We then ended up in Sakae Sushi. I had a Sakae Premium Bento Set which took them 45 mins to prepare! My friend whom I met at the waiting line and went into the restaurant just before me already finished and left c(-_-)'''. Ziyuan had a Chicken Katsudon which he claimed that there wasn't supposed to have egg in it. Also had 3 colored plates of some other stuff.
Walked around marina then walked back to esplanade to take bus home. Shoulder gonna break cuz had a laptop in it and haven been sleeping well for the past 2 wks to study. Gtg do my toy design in the software liao. Gtg... nitez

2005-06-15T23:33:00.000+08:00

It's Weds already!!! 6 more days to exams then I will have 1 wk holis!!! Not really holis though cuz I still gotta work... c(-_-)'''...
Everything is half done now, my radio model is half done, software program is half done, report is half done... Well... maybe half done is not so bad afterall. I mean since everything is on track ;p
Hmm... Nothing much this week except trying to finish my school stuff. And my boss is starting to pile work on me, dunno which one to start 1st. Quite paisei whether in school or work cuz I'm always 2-hearted, thinking of this when working on that. I wonder how come there are people who can work full-time yet get distinctions for their exams. I think u need alot of concentration and consistency to do that! Only managed 2 dist. for last term...
Gtg back to work. Ciaoz...

ps: Took a quiz. I really so bad ah? Maybe I am. See below....

Congratulations Phil, you are...

You may seem sweet on the outside but behind you hide a sharpened claw. You have the observation skills of a forensic detective and can see right through people easily. You attract attention, both good and bad, but more bad than good. You've seen more assholes in life than a proctologist. The bad ones tries to screw you over but quickly learnt that its a bad move because you enjoy screwing them back accordingly.

End of Weekend

2005-06-12T23:09:00.000+08:00

Went to Bugis to get some some project stuff with my cousin who came from m'sia. 1st headed off to Kinokuniya to get David Eddings Book Two of The Dreamers Series: The Treasured One. Finally it appeared in paperback. Hardcover is so expensive!

Then headed off to Sim Lim Square to check out an adapter that my cousin wanted to get for her company (works as System Administrative). She told me it's supposed to be a 20yrs ago technology so she was quite surprise to be able to find it. Checked out the price of Guildwars (game made by some developers from Blizzards diablo, free online mmorpg) too, it has dropped from $107 to $99. Hmm.... waiting it to drop somemore. Haha....

Then headed off to Sim Lim tower to get radio parts to build my model (schoolwork, designing a FM radio for a client). Couldn't get any cheap deals. Had to get the board which you had to do the soldering by yourself for $12.10, and get another shop to solder (I didn't know how to do it) which might cost $10++ bucks. Decided to head towards Rochor Centre to get a ready made receiver to dismantle. Found one which only cost $6.50! Hengz nvr anyhow spend... ...

After which headed to Holland Village's Coffee Club Express for coffee where Huiling and Haoren came to join us since deciding to cancel meeting up with Jane. Actually Ah Sis, quite heng you came because me and my cousin was tired and thinking of flying the kite! Paisei paisei... ...

Got home around 10pm and tried to do my report on Value Management but ended up talking about "sky and floor" with my cousin till 5am!

Got up at 10am for k-lunch at hougang mall's K-box. My voice sounded like the morning crow... Haha, haven been having enough sleep for the past week and haven't sing for like ages ( wanna get back to the choir!!!). Finally got home at 5pm and went to sleep till 9pm. Mopped the house then had my dinner. Blogging this moment and I have to go off to study already. Played too much. Or else cannot finish my work for submission.... Zzzz

Unlucky Friday

2005-06-12T22:45:00.000+08:00

Waited for 20mins in the sun before bus 167 came when heading home from sembawang mrt after work on Fri. Very hot...... The sun jus happened to set in the direction which shone at the bus stop and I had to hide behind the lamp post. As I was thinking how blissful it is to be able to have an aircon bus for transportation (vs some other backward country) the bus came to a halt after 5 mins at Sembawang Shopping Centre. It seemed like there was some kinda commontion, probably an accident, and the whole road was jammed! All the smaller vehicles decided to u-turn so a to use another route. Bus uncle opened the automated door for anyone that wanted to get off the bus. I didn't get off initially but after waiting for 5 mins, it seemed like the traffic jam will take some time so I decided to get off to flag a cab.

I noticed that for about 100m of the road was jammed with heavy vehicles (including about 15 buses) and moving up ahead, as a typical "kaypo" singaporean, I found out that it was due to an accident involving a fuel transportation vehicle and a tibs bus (I didn't take down the veh. plate no. so don't ask me for any :P). Anyways, I decided to walk further up to get a cab and moved along the road towards home.

I noticed two other pple who decided to walk as well, 1 was from naval diving unit (NDU, my previous camp) recognising the his tan and the unit's logo, and another unfortunate guy (private) who was sent to move foward to inform pple waiting at the bus stops that there is a traffic accident and there won't be buses coming along anytime shortly.

As in the most drama serials, I couldn't get a cab! Gave up after some time after deciding that I needed some exercise so I walked all e way from sembawang shopping centre to khatib camp before noticing buses (that were suppose to come thru the accident area) starting to appear. I decided to wait for a bus.

167 came. Exactly the same bus which I got off. And guess what? I sat back at the SAME seat as it was the only empty seat left in the bus! ^*&%*%*%$&$!@

Haha... ... ;p

Dreams...

2005-06-10T01:29:00.000+08:00

Nope I'm not quitting school. Last day of school for today. Relaxed a little, didn't do any schoolwork tonight. Running out of time... ...

Went through the blogs of my friends today. Suddenly I get this feeling that I'm poking myself into other peoples' lives. Ops... I guess there just ain't enough colors in my life to look at. That's why I'm trying to "conjour" one now.

Most people don't get to live their lives the way they want. Well apparently there isn't a perfect life but we should learn to enjoy the process. I used to lament alot on how bad my life is but since last year I've learn to look at it in a different perspective. Although I might not be heading to my dreams directly, I think it's still alright to move towards it in a round-a-bout manner, step-by-step. The results might be the same. But the process is different and what you learn and experience might just be what makes your attitude different from those that "bloom" into their dreams overnight :)

Gotta sleep. Got work tomorrow.

To be continued... ...

Got home in my friend's car today. Waited for his friend outside Furama hotel for an hour! So we relaxed in the car while my friend gave me a short lesson on rock music where we blasted the streets away... haha. Recently been interested to know metal, rock music after watching the anime Beck. They do have very nice songs after all. Although I still can't comprehend the way they shout sometimes :P So for now my only enemy is techno... ... haha. I think I'l llike to start leaarning guitar later too.

It's a new week again. Just got home from work. Lucky that I've no school on mondays, lemme some time to warm up a new week before going for lessons on Tues :P

Boss is on holis these few days so office is "PEACE"... Except that everyone starts to gather and chit-chat so it get's really irritating when I am trying to work. Learning a new PC software from my senior so can slack a little (just like when you go on course :P). Still gotta work though, new staff must make a good impression 1st, later then havoc :D

Gotta get back to study again after dinner. 2 report, 1 design project, 1 pc project. All due two weeks later (-_-) Zzzzz. Gotta tahan abit. Then it's holis and can go choir :D Long time no sing liao haha

2005-06-06T01:01:00.001+08:00

2005-06-06T01:01:00.000+08:00

Beck Anime! Go Watch It :D

Hiya!

2005-06-06T00:26:00.000+08:00

Just moved over from friendster's blog because it's really not user friendly and SUPER SLOW... ... Takes forever to load a page x_x (and partly cuz my "sis" who moved over as well. Hehe)

Nothing much up recently except tied down between my new job and school. For those who doesn't know already, I've changed to a full time job now. 5.5days, 1.3k, no AWS! What the h**k? Some of my friends been scolding me for being exploited. Haha... ... It's not such a bad job afterall since the environment is ok (except it's really dusty in the workshop) and the people are overall okay so far (dunno about later). full-time job + school is really no joke if u are bent on not just passing your modules, basically its breakfast, work, lunch, work, school, dinner, study, sleep, breakfast... repeat....

No more time for games now, even been singing less. Oh, I watched an anime recommended by my friend title "Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad". It's about rock music, band... ... very touching and great story! Must see for anime fans out there. It's one of those you come across probably 1 in 5 yrs. Haha... ... Really veri the good... ...

ps: Long time no ktv, anyone pls jio me out!
