omg

2006-10-25T05:16:00.000-07:00

omg marring my reputable reputation.

POAY DUNTCHOO TRY TO BE PSUEDOCOOL BLOGGA AND SIAN JOO ARE AS UGLY AS YAO WITHOUT HAIR. OMG HE LOOKS LIKE A NAKED MOLERAT.

OMG I JUST REALISED YAO IS POAY WIFOUT THE P. SHAT MAN.

we're free!!

2006-10-24T19:24:00.000-07:00

now that daniel 'le oppressor' peck is gone, we're finally free to blog!

..

damn fatty.

damn peck

2006-10-24T08:53:00.000-07:00

in view that peck is no longer going to blog here, i will assume and reclaim my rightful status as chief blogger. by my hands weblogwell will not die because of some fatty who has migrated to blog with a dinosaur.

so i did pw today for 9 to 9. and i fell asleep a grand total of two times without knowing it. i lay on the bed and then 20 minutes later im like WTF i slept. wtf did i miss?! lol

because peck always blogs about movies and shit, i will have to try to fill up those shoez right?

so a few days ago i watched I Am Sam. Sean Penn deserved his ocsar for every minute of the show (even though his 'endearing' character became damn annoying at some times) and then dakota fanning acts her usual role.

but the show is really good lah. im no 1337 critic like peck so i'll leave it at that. good show. sometimes annoying but you cannot find fault with him.

IM MOVING

2006-10-24T07:14:00.000-07:00

BECAUSE THIS STUPID TAGBOARD ISNT EVER GOING TO WORK AND I DO NOT HAVE MODERATER STATUS (POEY HAS IT WTH), I HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE UP A JOINTBLOG OFFER BY ANG WEI LIP. WEILIP WAS FORMERLY FROM WEBLOGWELL, EXCEPT HE WAS CRAPPIEST MEMBER EVER, AND I MEAN EVER. HE ABANDONED THE BLOG AFTER ABOUT JOINING FOR 2 HOURS (AS DID ALL OTHER MEMBERS, BUT HIS TENURE WAS THE SHORTEST)

HOWEVER, SINCE I AM IN THIS KIND OF SCREWED UP PREDICAMENT, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT HIS OFFER. IF HE PANGSEH ME I WILL CRUSH HIM.

SO HERES THE NEW BLOG (WHICH WILL BE UPDATED PROBABLY IN THE NXT 24 HOURS).

there is a rat somewhere

2006-10-21T10:01:00.000-07:00

So here I am watching epl and suddenly I hear some crash from inside the kitchen. My dog eddie from behind the sofa goes balistic and starts knocking into everything he sees. Knocks the sofa knocks the chair. So im like omg wth is going on. Next thing I know my maid tells me we gots dem hairy critters running around, and one ran into the kitchen just now.

Then i go ballistic, and start like omging about why all the doors arent closed. Then my maid comes out with a steel cage with a medium sized mouse. Smells bad, but looks generally harmless. Then I calm down and like look at it. Then my maid stuns me by saying that thats a small one. The gigantinormous one is still running about.

That sets me off again, and suddenly the big rat ran over my maids (who was in the garden) foot and we are all HOMGGGGGG DOOM.

So now theres a rat hunt around the house. This really isnt that interesting but I got nothing to blog about really. eddie is a real wuss, and so am I hahahaha.

ali g mania

2006-10-18T11:15:00.000-07:00

Well been watching lots of ali g videos on youtube. I actually prefer him to Borat (sasha cohens other alias). Hes acts freaking stupid and really underminds whatever people say. Not sure if theres any point to the satire sometimes, but one poignant one was when he asked anti-nuke hippie protesters if they were on crack lol (a certain irony!). Not for people who want to stay clean though. He makes a lot of sexual references, and uses a lot of vulgarities.

One really funny one was when he destroyed posh and becks for comic relief. The couple was REALLY sporting.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=KDko2MFvY-s&mode=related&search=

Watch the first 10 seconds of this if you dare.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=w-MIwh7I4Ck

This is something else. David Blaine spoof. Watch the first few minutes. Gets tiring after a bit, but I found it exceedingly funny at first

omigosh noob

2006-10-15T02:06:00.000-07:00

My mums been doing her slides for her 1337 dental presentation and it was only today on slide 58 that I realised that she doesnt know how to use a textbox. Instead she has been using ONE BIG textbox and then spacespacespacespacespacespacespacespacespace until every word corresponds to each picture. I was like OMGBBQ NUBCAEKE. And she still said "Aiya, everytime one word moves I need to move everything again". -______-

Anyway Open House was hella boring. HISSOC booth and RECAS booth had really few visitors. Ended up playing stupid games for a while with tanneh smoot lip and ac.

After that els asked annliang and I to go visit the biennale. Apparently its bee-nar-lay but I keep thinking that its pronounced as bi-anal. I actually enjoyed myself, even though I was really tired. At first I was like omg whats the meaning of random paint splotches. But after that there were some badass exhibits which were extremely cool. Apart from the fact that I was asking for the meaning of the exhibits half the time (because I am noob and I was tired, and the two synergize to become suckbomb). Yeah we went to the one at tanglin camp. It's rather far in though. Ill recommend it, but get a guide.

Yeah today went to play badminton. Im pretty good, and sianyao are pretty bad. nubs.

City of God

2006-10-12T11:39:00.001-07:00

Awesome show of grit and gangster reality in Brazil. Bloody, ruthless, filled with whimsical mayhem. I think some critics called it a mixture between Lord of the Flies and Gangs of New York and The Godfather. Lots of guns, pot, and a burgeoning drug trade. Irony lies in that this is a place where God doesnt seem to exist. And the mass murder is actually interspersed with some rare, nostalgic occasions of warmth and kindness, and that makes the characters seem like theres still a semblance of humanity lost somewhere deep down in them. Bah tired

Im obliged to rate it just to show how much I think of it. 9/10. MUST MUST WATCH

movie-maniac

2006-10-10T10:10:00.000-07:00

Watched X-men 3 on Saturday. Thought it was ok only. Wolverine wasnt that badass, Iceman and Pyro werent that cool either.

Tonight watched Big Fish. Pretty good show. Quite touching and tim burton-nish.

woo

2006-10-08T09:59:00.000-07:00

Anyway went finish off the pw today at els house. Really nice house. Its got the cosiness and comfyness that my house seems to lack sometimes.

Well after that took me ama and the maids out to thompson just for fun. My ama doesnt get to go out much so she had a good time. She was absolutely hilarious while everyone was in some random clothes shop looking for clothes.

Ama (looking in the mirror): Haiiiiyo I look like an Ama......so horrible
Me: -____________-

Ama (looks at clothes): If I wear that I think they'll all throw stones at me...
Me: -.-

Anyway we had a good time. Ate at the foodcourt then went to swensons.

Woo Beyonce's new song rocks man. Irreplaceable, one of dem great woman-powa ballads. Maybe that'll revive her sales after that crappy deja vu. Its like she has to stop trying to prove she can gyrate 700 times a minute and start thinking about making really hot songs like crazy in love.

woah II

2006-10-06T09:33:00.000-07:00

I forgot to add that I did witness something most horrifying this morning at the club. This dude, stark naked, was drying himself with a hairdryer in the main changing room. Ill leave you to speculate what he was doing that freaked me out.

woah

2006-10-05T23:51:00.000-07:00

Its 2.47pm now and so far its been a good day

Watched zatoichi yesterday. Excellent excellent movie, really. The style of brutality is ala kill bill but then again not as over the top. Its just that the rate at which the killing takes place is just so unreal. Mixes humour and emotion and quirky moments really well. Its like the sadness can be suddenly subverted by something totally funny and somehow its not nervous laughter im hearing from myself, but a full blown guffaw. Somehow it makes most of the story (cept for really emo flashbacks) move really quickly because you dont linger too much on stuff.

Takeshi Kitano as the blind samurai puts in a real cool performance, so endearing and so insanely ruthless at the same time. Real good movie. Watch it.

This morning went to the gym (-.-!) and then read a bit at the club, then went to wheelock place and read a bit again. So im quite happy

no vulgarities for the holidaes

2006-10-05T07:22:00.000-07:00

Since its the holidays and I have no reason to be using vulgarities, I shall purge myself from bad words! hence I promise not to delve into my plethora of f*** variations and colourful hokkien exclamations even when im angry. And I will reduce my shit count by 75%, my crap count by 50%, my bloody hell count by 50%, and my damn count by 40%. Instead I will increase my dang count by 300% and my ohmybomb count by 200%.

And i must use very instead of damn. The food is very nice. My tv is very lousy. You are very messed (screwed) up. Dang. Remind me.

badminton & movies

2006-10-03T11:34:00.000-07:00

Last 2 days been playing badminton. Played with xy yesterday and today I played with sian yao and kwt. Now Im pretty tired.

Anyway xy learns very fast. The twinnies have VERY LOUSY technical execution but nevertheless they are small and quick and eager to hit anything. Kwt was his usual degenerative self. Im just slow :/

Bah watched 2 more movies

Rainman- pretty touching

Infernal Affairs - Excellent movie. I cannot believe they packed such a tidy story into 1 1/2 hours. Watch it if you can.

bumming

2006-09-30T11:16:00.000-07:00

Been really bumming around. Watching youtube videos, dvds, playing com games. One of these days gonna play badminton with xueyang.

Watched 3 dvds.

Fearless - well after watching the last samurai the whole rehab-in-the-paddy-fields thing in this movie just seems underdeveloped. But overall pretty kickass.

Joint Security Area - A really interesting story revolving around the Military Demarkation line between North and South Korea. A pity the poor feigned english accents drove me and me mum crazy.

Gangs of New York (again) - I borrowed it just to watch daniel day lewis again. He is a stunning actor.

Anyway on a rather more sombre note, my ama fell down again. No damage this time, but...still...gah.....

kapow!

2006-09-28T19:58:00.000-07:00

http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

I must be daft. It is only now that i realise you can rip videos off youtube. No wonder dem record companies are complaining about their music videos. If you are as daft as me, and would like to exploit youtube as well, remember to get a flv player, or a flv-wmv converter. Its really useful because a lot of the time, esp for long videos, its much faster to download than to let the damn thing load.

On to other things. I would like to watch some movies this holidays.

The Departed - Scorsesee never disappoints. And the star-studded cast is ownage. And early reviews have been stunning.

The Last King of Scotland - About Idi Amin, some Ugandan dictator and his scottish doctor. Apparently Forest Whitaker put in an oscar-worthy performance. The trailer looks good, and scary because hes so charismatic and sinister at the same time. Hmm read up on the dude. He likes to castrate people -_________________________-

Jackass 2 - Because I like jackass and I like to insult my intelligence

Flags of Our Fathers - Clint Eastwoods new one

Babel - why....hmm......Brad Pitt.....uh......brad pitt?

Children of Men - Clive Owen, Alfonso Cuaron directing. Reviews are real positive

Superman Returns - Because im the only doofus not to have watched it yet

The Illusionist - The trailer looks good. And I like edward norton and paul giamatti. And everyone likes magik

Casino Royale - THE TRAILER IS OWNAGE. Daniel Craig looks extremely cool and gritty.

Little Miss Sunshine - Some really highly acclaimed indie comedy.

OTHERS

Angels in America

Constantine

Gangs of New York

Taxi Driver

Grey’s Anatomy

Lost - because I have not seen a single episode of this series.

gah

2006-09-27T05:22:00.000-07:00

Today was a bad day really. I got raped in math. I misread a 10 mark question. So blur sometimes. So damn blur. Its these things that really make me fear exams. It is the worst thing in the world to know you jacked yourself damn badly not because of ability but because you are just plain blur or careless.

dude up there, have mercy pls.

omfg

2006-09-23T23:32:00.000-07:00

i am burnt out for geog. im gone for physical.

:/

2006-09-21T10:45:00.000-07:00

haiyo. cheebye math. Really really cheebye math. Bastard numbers.

Haha railing at math sounds so lame really. But its really frustrating and hellish. Been going to school like once every alternate day for tuition with teo. He teaches me math, I teach him bubble breaker. Hmmph at least I own him in alternate realities.

Well. On to better things.

Me dad got KRISPY KREME donuts from the US! WOO! Im a real krispykreme junkie, and ive been eating like 5 a day because those critters taste so bloody good. I still think the original kk doughnut is the best. Its a work of art. As a great dude once said. "A friend in need is a friend indeed". The krispykreme doughnut has taken self-sacrifice to the next level in my times of trouble. Friend, brother, companion (not for long though), subsistence. I lub joooooo.

Anyway youtubes been cracking down on mtv videos being shown. But millions are still slipping through the cracks. Really interesting new songs ived just listened to include:

How to save a life - The Fray. Nice, but I prefer their first single cablecar

Tell Me Baby - RHCP. Its alright

Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance. I dont understand half the lyrics, but the tune sounds like a sure hit. I have to say MCR are one of the few goth/punk bands that have really really crossed over to the mainstream successfully.

Tell Me Why - Declain Galbraith. Do give this a listen. Stunning voice. But who knows what will happen to it when the pain and angst of puberty strike. Song's on some omilord-teh-world-is-ravaged topic.

I feel weird. I think im blogging weird. oh to hell with it

2006-09-18T10:27:00.000-07:00

whew thank god pw is over.

And i hope Im not fucked for promos.

-__-

2006-09-16T13:32:00.000-07:00

cheebye lah inter drew. shithead mancini didnt start figo, subbed adriano on at EIGHTY ONETH MINUTE. dumbshit I hope he gets fired and inter gets mourinho or something.

Hmm its strange how football can invigourate masses of males.

hey yo

2006-09-12T07:47:00.000-07:00

oh cool. Jesus was a rice farmer.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/5326614.stm

I guess it would totally make sense for him to travel to japan. Hmm maybe he wanted to turn water into sake, or like astonish the world by making 10 000 sushi rolls from like one tuna or something.

ah yo

2006-09-11T07:10:00.000-07:00

Hmm i know life is dreary when you cant think of things to blog about.

Well yesterday my sister had a farewell party with her friends in the house. Shes leaving thursday. Ill be skipping first 2 periods for that. Ah yo will miss her sia. I believe I did a post on this somewhile back, so shan't painfully recall.

Today was a so-so day. I liked the rain though. And playing bubblebreaker is fun and mindless.

Hmm lately Ive run out of words to say. Just listening around, really.

Ah yo, fuck

I am stuffed

2006-09-09T11:39:00.000-07:00

Well my relatives came over from malaysia yesterday. So my parents pulled out all the stops today and decided to bring em for the buffet at some chinese restuarant at the 4 seasons hotel. Jiangnanchun or something. Quite excellent variety and quality. I really ate a lot. hmm.

After that I slept.

Then I watched epl.

Then we went to newton for supper. holyshito felt so clogged after that.

Now im tracking inter milans first match by text commentary. Its 2.37. Its damn pathetic and commendable at the same time. I just want to bitchslap starhub.

Dedication

2006-09-05T06:20:00.000-07:00

Steve Irwin 1962-2006.

I enjoyed his show because he was probably the most passionate host around. His humour was never quite trumps (Jeff Corwin winz imo) but the risk he was willing to take to save animals or rescue them always impressed me. Show after show. The man totally lived and breathed wildlife. Crikey mate - you the bomb.

PS. blasted stingrays

Giacinto Facchetti 1942-2006

One of the greatest players ever to play for the Nerazzurri. A stalwart of the famous Inter catenacchio of the 60s, and also the pioneer of the attacking leftback. Roberto Carlos eat your heart out. He captained the Azzurri no less than 70 times, leading them to the European Championships. Was Vice Pres at Inter till last year, when he assumed presidency from Massimo Moratti. Il Capitano - a man of dignity, gentility and grace. I mourn with all inter fans :(

Anyways. Accordingly I have quit neopets after overwhelming pressure from my close friends, and not to mention their overwhelming snorts of disgust. Hmmph fine. I left my mark on neopia no less, donating 50 bags of 1000 neopoints to the money tree! I also made a noobs day by giving him 12 000 for nothing! Well I myself couldnt help feeling spastic after a bit - whoring neopoints is one of the most mundane, brain-numbing things in the world.

In other news, my mum used 'relac' for the first time in her life. Cheers mum. Out of the 80s, into the 00s. 1337$p3@k

hmm

2006-09-02T08:58:00.000-07:00

Well you see the problem with the damn neopets now is that you cant login into your old accounts without the birthday you put down, which no one gave a crap about then. And prices are so inflated that its just impossible to pursue a collection of anything. And people are shrewd too. No more coolio deals on the trading post. Anyway I picked up 2 codestones today. Yay.

Eh....neopets?

Hmm actually I have no idea why im playing this regressive game. It must be some sort of reverse aging process. My brain is undeveloping. Maybe Ill be sucked back into the primordial soup in a day or two. Hmm sometimes I really surprise/shock/disgust myself.

But I shit you not. I have a techo called agapong.

OMG WTF IS WRONG WITYH ME HOLY COCKEYE SHIT WTF THIS IS PLAIN WEIRD OMG DOOM. EYAHHH AIYEE SHIT YOU NEOPETS ITS NOT ME ITS YOU YOU MAKE ME ADDICTED TO YOUR SHITTY WHEELS OF EXCEITMENT AND YOUR CODESTONES.

M..u....s....t........q.....u..i.....t...

hoho

Super duper funny crap. My sister and I laughed real hard. That is creative sia.

Anyway had a really shitty night. Spent like 2 hrs trying to work some crap harddrive for my sis' mac and failed. GAH.

Anyway national service talk today was boring. Ironically, it was mostly girls asking the questions. Maybe its because we boys just think that coming here and trying and generate some goodwill and a semblance of patriotism within us is pretty futile. Like just cut to the chase man. NS is pretty much a bitch and that's that. It just doesnt make sense to us on a microlevel.

Well I wont be unfair. Some of the macro questions were valid and interesting.

And recently I kinda sense a fatigue thats been hitting the class lately. Everyones just tired really (or so I think). I really caught a whiff of it during math lesson today - a moment of indifference, a half opened eye, a sluggish response, just a plain drop in energy. Maybe its just me. Heh Im feeling a bit of strain really, and it kinda messes up everything that I do. Just a little, but I know it and others probably do too.

Anyway on a happier note my house has more ice-cream now :) Island Creamery apple pie flavour is the bomb. And tomorrow is Aces day. Dono how Im gonna feel like one but somehow I guess. Oh yes, teachers day too.

teawithtehpresident

2006-08-28T12:05:00.000-07:00

Anyway after a horrific PC in the morning (somehow I blow at doing PCs), went off to the istana.
Well first things first. Food is great. Really quite superb for a high tea. Participants could eat before the session began, and finish up the leftovers after the session. Cheese tarts and quiche were extremely palatable and the smoked salmon sandwiches were really good. The RJ shameless trio of wally, peck and yamies proceeded to own the place upside down, roving our way through the mazes of people with ninja cunningness to the food, unnoticed of course.

Well cept me. Like the bugger cna video cam dude wanted to take video of me eating lah -_-. Like he was like 'turn around turn around'. And i was thinking 'WTFFF'. Is my style of gorginess/gorgedom/gorgage really that alluring -_-. Haha Im gorgeous ^.^ Next thing the photographer is taking pictures of me taking desert. Like that was really the last straw.

Well the president was alright. A bit of a generational gap. The guy has really interesting stories and insights, but half the time he tended to take that a certain example raised in the question alluded to some macro issue that he proceeded to expound on. Hmm very nice man though.

After that had a good meeting for some forum thingy.

Hmm my aunt is going in for operation tomorrow. Cancer remission. Honestly I was never on that good terms with her, but anyway Ill still pray and hope for the best. Not like I want anyone to die/be messed up, or my mum to be sad in any case.

OMG INTER DO A LIVERPOOL

2006-08-26T19:55:00.000-07:00

Inter 4 Roma 3

Mancini 13 (R)
Aquilani 25 (R)
Aquilani 34 (R)
Vieira 44 (I)
Crespo 65 (I)
Vieira 75 (I)
Figo 94 (I)

What an insane comeback. I was totally stunned by the roma onslaught and the insipid inter side in the first 40 minutes was simply lacking in spirit or motivation. To add insult to injury, it was at the gisuppe meazza, and so inter fans had little to cheer about. So frustrating. Ibrahimovic being a headless chicken, Adriano being an immovable turd.

Then the comeback began. Magic magic magic! Inter slaughtered roma in the second half, and then luis figo showed his magic with a sublime freekick in the 5th minute of extra time that rocked the stadium.

My main gripe is adrianos lack of form. He was so immobile this morning. He had problems going forward, and hes way too strong. Gah, he needs to play more samba football instead of being a vieri.

Ibra was also a little disappointing. His technical skill is unquestionable. But his finishing is the dumps. Lacks composure in front of goal. But anyway we got a really gifted player, and also the best diver in the game. Hes a better diver than CR.

And I do have issues with the vieira and cambiasso partnership. Both are essentially DMs, or the tough tackling type. So it was weird to see no true playmakers spraying passes and highballs. But i must admit inter exploited the wings exceptionally, with maicon, j zanetti, figo, stankovic and ibra owning roma.

And I think if theres one thing both teams can draw from this, is that they are far better off attacking than defending. I would put the severe 3-0 34 minute mauling down to lack of match practice and fitness, but other than that inter is a natural attacking side that revolves around intercepting the ball at midfield or before the penalty area. We arent too good defensively from open play. :/ and what the bomb toldo is damn sucky. He is so on/off.

Anyway crespo and maicon are quite the buys of the season so far. Maicon is outstanding going forward. And hes quick. Crespo is versatile. Ibra needs practice.

omgomgomgomog adriano please find form.

Inter!

2006-08-26T08:32:00.000-07:00

Inter vs Roma at 230am

Hope inter owns.

Meanwhile in a burst of nerazzurri spirit, I shall post links to insane inter clips.

Javier Zanetti comp - I honestly think hes the best attacking RB in the world other than marcos cafu

http://youtube.com/watch?v=nJMzkKQ4vyU

The most insane game ever. 3 goals for inter in the last 3 minutes. The reason why I didnt mind that Inter finished 3rd the first season mancini was in charge

http://youtube.com/watch?v=CWPAlVr9UNs&mode=related&search=

Adrianos 90th minute winner in the milan derby last season
http://youtube.com/watch?v=u7kuyzuiu2k&mode=related&search=

Toldos goal against Juve some years back

http://youtube.com/watch?v=GtxXJ2d_vP4&mode=related&search=

And if you notice, the commentator is actually someone from the inter channel, so hes very bias and spirited. And his golagolagolagolagolagol thing can drive you nuts.

shite

2006-08-22T09:12:00.000-07:00

Math test tomorrow. Had a bomb tuition like from 7.30 to 10.30 pm. My tuition teacher very nicely compiled a masterlist of formulae to for me to memorize. That means I'm totally in prime position to pass lah ^__^.

My main problem with math seems to be my memory. I just seem to forget whole entire topics every fortnight. Its as if my brain has a carrying capacity of say 3 topics, and everytime I learn a new one I squeeze one more out. Bloody frustrating for me and mr teo as well -__-. Thats why my new 1337 method is to create peck's idiot-proof guide on each topic's tutorials so that I can relearn topics at the speed of lightning. Extremely ingenius in my esteemed opinion :)

Anyway YC got smashed. Quite wtfbbq.

On to other things then

KWT CHINESE ESSAY PWN.

OMG NOOBNESS LIKE IVE NEVER SEE BEFORE

OMG NOOBNESS LIKE JOO NEVER SEEN BEFORE

tired

2006-08-21T04:01:00.000-07:00

heyo everyone. Played badminton on sunday with kwt. It was quite fun again. Played these two indonesian brothers whose mother is kwts mums friend. We played well in the first set. Well somewhere through it I landed smack on my ass because I lost my balance. That was a sad sight and my reflexes promptly halved. The second set was more of flurry of errors from kwt and I. Damn I love that game. Watch me play it and you couldnt guess that I fail 2.4, standing broad and pullups. And you probably couldnt guess that im blur :)

So that night we sent sabby off at the airport. God bless joo sabby. It was quite an emotional night.

Then I had to chiong home to rush wr and eom. Edited with els till about 3 am, then started on the eom. Thank god I finished it today during my breaks. Cheebye shagged. Only slept 3 hours the last 2 nights. Bah Im just some noob procrastinator who ends up floundering and barely getting out of some rathole.

much angst

2006-08-18T07:55:00.000-07:00

Today I was pretty angsty.

Well firstly I have EOM and econs essay due on monday. And I have a math test on wednesday and a math test on thurs. And I realised only today that my EOM article sucksass tq very much.
Hmm and I slept late.

These were perfectly conducive conditions to wallow in self-pity and I took much of the 1 1/2 hours of GP to rant and mutter and proclaim and like throw my EOM article around. It's just so unlike me to express my angst with self-degrading flamboyance. It was funny and sorta pathetic ^.^

Anyway my day was really brightened up later on when I searched deep within my yin yang balance and duly beat tanxueyang in a chinese calligraphy competition (china cao zhi masta zhaomeng had no doubts in choosing yours truly). And gem spotting with rayner in the popcorn boxes was very gratifying as well. And sabby came back for a bit. That was a bundle of joy in itself.

Well I have little snippets of thought floating around my brain. Like...

- worrying about whether i can maintain a real connection with my kids next time (if I have any, that is). I hope I dont turn anal and world weary.

- worrying about my badminton skills after zhaomeng and I lost to wally and xueyang during PE the other day. A day that will live in infamy..... -bows head in humiliation-

-Should I go to kals house now for botswana gathering?

Gah.

ON A REALLY RANDOM NOTE, KWTs MUM PUBLISHED A BOOK. Go to desperate-asian-housewives.com. I can totally see where kwt got his quirkiness from.

hello Im tired

2006-08-16T08:32:00.000-07:00

Hello yesterday i slept from 1-7 pm. Totally messed up my sleep cycle. Ended up sleeping quite late. Wasnt as sharp today. Not to say Im usually sharp, but to put it plainly I was blurrer than usual. Bah was zoning out at random intervals.

And boy i just realised again Im a pretty good procrastinator. I can think of like a zillion other ways to spend my time just in order to stave off work. Stuff like blogging.

Hmm damn.

Must go and do math now. Will post up some botswana pictures the next time. And on a really random note I must stop saying 'damn' and 'screwed up' so much. I realised that lately Ive been spraying them around a bit too much even for my own liking. Makes me feel like a caveman who doesnt know how to control his mouth.

GAH EGARDS

back from botswana!

2006-08-15T04:29:00.000-07:00

Hey yo people back from botswana. Not going to stun everyone with some immensely incisive/heavy post on the experience. But it was a good experience anyhow. The rapport in the group was generally good and the people there were very hospitable. Yes they are poor, some abysmally poor, but they have a great zest for life. I admire them for that And if I might add their culture is very vibrant. Its highly gratifying when the friendship can transcend cultural barriers, perhaps even within half a day.

Yeah and I didnt really camwhore.

Well on a really random note, I nearly broke someones leg. Haha.

More later then.

botswanna

2006-08-04T09:18:00.000-07:00

So Im going to botswanna this sunday.

Well Im fine really. Just hope that it'll be a fruitful trip. Hmm I know Im going to see a very ugly side of the world. But it's probably in the people who have little, and little expected of them that you find the most genuine emotions and the least hypocrisy.

Not that everyone there is like that (some are exploitative), but there are some that totally dont take things for granted. Quite rare.

Woo. We're going to a safari too. Like everyones a sucker for wild animals haha.

:/

2006-08-03T05:24:00.000-07:00

-greenophobia-

Btw my sister got a new mac. Can take funky pictures with the screen. Check it out!

HUNKEH!

woo!

2006-07-29T07:31:00.000-07:00

Been having a mild bout of diarrhoea. I should have taken heed when my spidey sense noticed a glimmer of deception in the pandan waffles lady's eyes when she said "teh waffles are fresh".

Anyway PWs a bitch. And I still have geog term paper.

And on a sidenote, my grandma thinks I'm going to Africa to study or something, after I told her about botswana.

"Which course are you taking ah?"
"Are you leaving before charmaine"
"Ahh yo. Why Africa.."

There is an innocence in her eyes. It's the same kind of enthusiasm as a 7 year old, just a sadder one (to me). I've always admired her for her stubborn struggle to keep everything in. The constant questioning, the need to know the things that go around. She wants a place in the world, and she wants to keep her value. Adamant that woman. The other day I saw her trying to stack the plates up in front of her. They clanged, but held. I guess thats her reaffirmation.

Haha most sad things I have to say are about my ama. Thats coz the frailty that comes with her age is really unnerving. Almost wants to deflate your high hopes of youth because we know it'll come down to that at the end and not much will matter.

Haha I dont think I want to live till 95. I think ill play com from 60-75 and sometime along the way my brain will explode :)

what a day

2006-07-27T07:17:00.000-07:00

What an interesting day.

Like in the morning I had napfa training and that was tiring. Well yeah nobody likes training for that crap. But Mr. Goh is really quite encouraging. It makes a lot of difference when your pe teacher actually cares to duke it out with you. And of course rayner my perpetual napfa training pal, and wally, who undoubtedly represents the flaw in the napfa system.

Well later on I had Dragon Boat Racing at Kallang. Well if I thought my biceps were roughed up in the morning, they got smashed at kallang. Our nice core MT gep grp of KY, jiahua, wally, me, jingwen, muthu and shaun liu proceeded to offer ourselves as sacrificial lambs. Damn fun lah, indulging in kokster humour early on.

Well really MT didnt have a lot of people signing up. Shaun liu damn suay lah. Its not that he doesnt try, its just that this batch really isnt that good.

So yeah basically this MT guys batch firstly doesnt have alot of people to start off with. And then half the guys are apathetic to whatever you ask them to do. Or even worse, they say yes and then dont come. In other words there isnt a lot of house spirit going on.

Ill be first to admit that I dont have much of house spirit. As in I can cheer and shout my lungs out for MT, but when it comes down to real solid stuff a lot of it has to do with my friends in Moor. Because there is a real core group that I know will really own their ass for MT and I respect them for it, and I know they are trying extremely hard (though sometimes futile) and Im sure as hell not going to disappoint them if they ask something of me. I dont know if this 'friends' thing goes well and truly hand in hand with the house spirit, but hey thats just the way things go.

Yeah and this would explain why I feel little for tarbet :/

So some dude taught us how to dragon boat, and after that the race was on. With like 9 people (inclusive of a willing teacher & girl), we came in 3rd, which is really not bad considering other houses had 10, 11 people and nearly all mega-man sportsmen.

And if I might add, I lost my spectacles in that race. I am bomb.

My specs were loose and they were slipping down my nose ala mr. p style, so I was trying to shake it off my head and into the boat. Then Im some smart bomb I shook my head and my specs conviniently leaped into the water.

Peck:

"OH F--K MY SPECS FELL INTO THE WATER. MY F--KING SPECS FELL INTO THE WATER"

Wally lol behind

incensed Peck: "F-----------------------------------------K!"

To give the extent of my agony, the teacher rowing with us was directly in front of me when I cursed. I bet that must have perked him up

Well after the first race there was a second one. We were tired by then, ended up 3rd.

So yeah going home w/o specs sucked big time. Shared cab with some peeps dropped off at coro plaza. Had a real close call. This car, which was identical to my mums drove up and horned. I thought it was mine, circled the car and ALMOST opened the car door. Thank god I noticed something amiss when a St. Nicks girl walked towards the car as well. Freaking close. Woo cold sweat.

Anyway no specs is kinda surreal.

Im just long winded and crappy today.

aiks

2006-07-25T09:05:00.000-07:00

well today was interesting.

Mr. H gave the j1s a pep talk on stage about promos. I like the dude. He's charismatic and firm. Makes me feel like I can trust him.

And then I actually listened to a full math lecture for like the first time in like months. Like I actually didnt zone out. Much thanks to rayner for helping me through.

Geog was alright. I like human geog. I really enjoy Mr. Lee's lessons because hes quite a superb teacher.

And then GP was a bore.

And then I rushed off to tan tock send to get immunized for botswanna. Didnt hurt that bad.

And then I had econs, which was mildy interesting.

And then I had a discussion with the girls over lit week costume. I will reiterate bluntly that I cannot be winny the pooh because winny the pooh is well.....barren in any sense, and it would be hard to emulate such emasculation. Haha. I cant be bambi either.

And then now im tired, and slightly irritable. I still need to shore up my econs and start on geog term paper.

Friends really make all the difference sometimes. Like they can really make my day. Haha Im lucky.

rawr

2006-07-23T08:46:00.000-07:00

Hey yo. Anyway apparently the recas quiz didnt go as well as expected. I had to leave halfway to go and look at finger puppets show for botswanna. Well im just happy the quiz is over because it was indeed tiring as chief saikang.

Anyway it doesnt get any better than chasing cockroaches at 8 am in the morning. I am absolutely petrified of those godforsaken critters. And what do you know, we had about 10-15 of them in our cloth decorations at 745 am in the morning. I had to go around with a broom and while my super duper fellow exterminators xueyang and jun shook the curtains, I took massive groundshaking twacks at those little pieces of shit and I promptly smashed them to bits- literally. Except for the mother roach which is tua like some bomb. She/he escaped backstage.

I have to say rjc lt 2 is in a cockroach respawn area. Its like the colony is so powerful they probably have a roach shaman to resurrect the fallen comrades. Its bloody sick lah. I bet there are roaches in the piano and everytime raynor plays the keys there are cockroaches bouncing up and down on those wooden things inside.

rawr I am angsty!

I am grateful

2006-07-21T09:24:00.000-07:00

I am grateful for the end of the week, because this week has just been late nights and more late nights out. 4 straight days of futile starbucks coffee later and I can safely conclude that I am tired, and that I need a breather.

Today's recas preparation was weird. In the end what we were left with were something like 8 A13A members, of which 4 are not from RECAS. Much thanks to paniel dc and cher for helping out. And martin later on. It really made the night a little more cheery.

And if i might just complain, lt2 is a freaking hive of cockroach activity. I absolutely deplore cockroaches. .0

what a weird day

2006-07-17T08:33:00.000-07:00

Today was a tiring day of strange ups and downs. Every cloud got a silver lining.

For example, I didnt do too well for lit, but i experienced a miracle in my pc. I actually passed the thing without understanding jackshit about it. Like after my test my sis told me 'cummings doesnt write poetry, he draws art', and i was like tamade I am owned! Its the first pure bullshit I have ever written in my life during a test. Like totaly donno but still must write because there is only 30 min left.

Woo thank god for Mr. B.

And then I had PE, where I got owned totally. But still I ended up making 2 stupendous saves from that human bicep of a joon faii. Have a painful bruise of triumph on my thumb. To remind me of how good I am :)

Anyway everything else was a real mess. Hmm

woo overshagged

2006-07-14T11:31:00.000-07:00

ah yo! Stupid GP. Im just going to do a crappy piece. Then got NYF and PW and RECAS stuff. Acronyms that fill up those little pore spaces in your brain and then explode! Woo! So now Im just worrying about either one of each like every minute. Oh my bomb I still have to go malaysia this weekend for botswanna. LoL bomb. Totally and utterly owned. Like smash-bomb-owned.

Wth is stream of consciousness man. My sis says its supposed to show the nonsense of the brain. hahahahah. lemme try.

akshkta;'po[qop[o[as[op[dslmflajljgljsljq-o=[=]]=o=fesaksdljkflsdjfkljlkjlksdklfjdslkjlskdf

Hmm. Right. akshta was looking promising. Wait a second, poq is palindromic. AND WAIT, theres an lj in there, OH HO theres also jfk. Eh theres also a smiley face =]

Rambling at 2.34. Everything has significance. 234 symbolises the climatic change my brain as it accelerates towards obscurity. jfk means im gonna be a president or something. Palindromic means Im same from all angles (yes you are, when you are round). lj means like my masculinity and the smiley face means im happy with it. That cant be bad

This is the weirdest post i have ever done

aw naw

2006-07-13T09:41:00.000-07:00

Egads. It is 12.37 am and I have not started on GP book assignment. Not even 1/3 through the book. Aiks this nyf meeting lasted a tad longer than what I expected. I zoned out for periods of time. Haha just now when I was asking Ben Goh about gp I was so tired I mistakenly typed pw instead.

Woo.

teh wtf night

2006-07-12T07:01:00.000-07:00

So I was like damn shag at like 8pm so i told my mum to lemme take a half-hour nap.

Then I woke up...My brain wasn't really functioning, and I looked at the clock and it said 9.40. At that point I was so utterly convinced that it was the next day and somehow I had school. Freaking bizarre lah. I chiong into the toilet with my uniform and like bathe in damn cold water. F-F-F damn panic sia.

Then suddenly halfway through I realised that its 9.40 pm. Diao gg. What a strange frame of mind. I truly know the feeling of confusion now.

Then afterwards I had another wtuf moment.

I lalala walk downstairs. Then WHAT THE MAN MY PARENTS AND THEIR FRIENDS PERFORMING SURGERY ON SANDY TEH DOG IN THE LIVING ROOM.
I was quite o.0

Well anyway sandy has been having a tumour for some time now. Freaking living epidemic. He's had a lot of health problems because of his pure-breed and his age. So yeah my parents enlisted the help of their best friend and his wife (damn powerbomb general surgeon and former nurse respectively) and they proceeded to own the tumour in the living room. -.-

So yeah I was just able to catch the closing stages of the operation. Sandy was under local anaesthesia and they were stitching up the wound. Freaking morbid lah.

Bah ill put up the video another day :)

Insanity in Lausanne

2006-07-12T03:48:00.000-07:00

A quite super day for athletics. Not only was the world 110m hurdles record utterly smashed, the second fastest 200m time in history was also recorded. I never expected that someone would challenge michael johnsons legendary timings of 19.32 and 19.66, but there we have it.

So it was like Liu Xiang and Dominque Arnold who dipped below Colin Jacksons 13 year old 12.91 world record in the 110m hurdles held jointly by Liu. Its perpetually insane when 2 people hit below the record. Bloody incredible

And then the 200m was godlike. Xavier Carter, whom i have never heard of clocked 19.63. Tyson Gay also ran 19.70. Thats like the 2nd and 4th fastest times in history respectively. ZOMG INSANE.

But i just dont see michael johnsons 10 year record of 19.32 to drop. His pace without a doubt is faster than 100m world record pace. 9.66 seconds per 100m is gay.

Magical place this is.

haha random post. I just love following sports results. Anyway latest list of insults that materazzi possibly threw at zidane

1) Baldy
2i) High ball not for scum like you
2ii) Son of a terrorist whore
2iii) fk off -.-
3) (after zidane suggests shirt swap) I rather swap it with your wife
4) (after zidane retorts to materazzi nipple nip) Thats the way yur mother would have liked it

wc

2006-07-10T06:03:00.000-07:00

I say! Materazzi has proved to be the man of the moment once more. Gave away penalty, scored, then got teh legend zidane sent off. It was quite obvious he said something to incite zizou.

1) Materazzi strokes zidane in sensitive area(wtf!)
2) Zidane smiles (wtf x 2)
3) My theory is that when zidane was running away Materazzi probably said something lewd like "ooh, you are firm" -.-!!
4) Materazzi smash

Anyway I lost my elusive set of quotable world cup quotes, namely thanks to my sister. Here are a few

" ghana-sai"

- charmaine peck tries to be damn funny during ghana-czech game.

"How can the game be fair, got so many ghanians on the pitch"

- wah she damn discerning when it comes to colour issues

" Bruce Arena's face damn qian bian"

- no comment

1) " Who the f*** is called akwa"
2) "Who the hell is called pimpong"

- african names = not cool

Then there was one damn funny moment. I was on the com and my mom and sis were downstairs watching portugal. Maniche scored a goal

Mom or sis: "AWWwHWWHHhHWHWWH! Goalll!"
Me: WHO SCORED WHO SCORED!
Sis: I think its Ma-nee-chee, like is that how you pronounce, maneechee
Mom: No lah, Its mankey

- lol choke and die-

watch this

2006-07-08T05:15:00.000-07:00

everyone go and watch korgoth of barbaria on youtube.

Definitely not for the faint of heart. Definitely not for the intellectual either ^^

Anyway sembawang has a pretty good sale. 15% off.

Like I bought (with original price nxt to title)

Under the Iron Sea by Keane (their new one, 18.90)
In Between Dreams by Jack Johnson (9.90)
Parachutes by Coldplay (9.90)
A New Morning by Suede (10.00)

And the total cost is 41 bucks. So good deal there.

And like 2 days ago i bought Aerial by Kate Bush ONLY because every critics SWOONS over that woman. Freakin 5 star from everywhere. Wrong choice man. This stuff really isnt mainstream fare. As in its not that bad, but raw, haunting stuff with african drums really aint my cuppa at the moment.

WOOOOOO

2006-07-07T06:28:00.000-07:00

THIS JAY CHOU STUFF IS GOOD SHID MAN

THIS LOVE BALLAD IS CALLED ROMANTIC HANDPHONE lang man shou ji AND WOO I AM LOVING IT.

AND THIS HAIR LIKE SNOW IS DAMN HEARTBREAKING SIA.

HIS DRAWL, HIS ANGST, HIS RAPPIN. WOOOOOOOO!!!!

hello

2006-07-05T07:01:00.000-07:00

hello people. Its the start of a new term and i dont feel new at all. I have lots of stuff to do, world cup to watch, things to worry about, new topics to study for, old topics to study for, new classmates to make friends with, old friendships to grow, even older ones to maintain, a classmate that is leaving for norway, a sister leaving for america, an ama who could leave for a better place anytime now, obligations and interests, a need to fit interests into my obligations, a little forcing here, a little pressure there. Its amazing how stuff doesnt spill over.

Hmm I wonder what i will do when my sister leaves. Guide, mentor, sister, whatever, knows me better than my mother or father or both put together. Taught me to be patient and lovingly subservient, showed me the role model that I should be aspiring towards, showed me how to look at things, the one who cut out the route that I am trying to manoeuvre through. Shes a lot of things. My mum can try to understand and be helpful but its my sister who knows me in and out. Yeah we are close.

Oh what fears. Anyway 52% for econs. Mean of 50.5%. And physical geog mock test is owned. quan got 3/12 for the frost action/chem weathering question and my answers are uncannily similar to his. Yaksy geog noobs just own the world.

crapzoids

2006-07-02T18:33:00.000-07:00

Hmm, I have to finish my geog ct paper by today, and I am missing my class outing.

Bloody hell lah I totally dont want to miss the outing lah. Like they are watching superman returns. @&()$&amp;@)&&!!!!!)*)#!!!!!)*!_!##!!. Ah whatever. Shit.

Anyway everyone knows Im an entertainment news whore. And just to tell you the spideyman 3 teaser is out on youtube, and the next spiderman story is gonna be alot more complicated because its gonna be about the birth of venom PLUS goodspidey/badspidey fighting bad guys.

AND TRANSFORMERS TEASER IS OUT

http://www.transformersmovie.com/

2006-06-29T06:21:00.000-07:00

Yeah so because of NYF I get to skip my cts. Well i still went for econs, and I still went for lit. I do get to skip math which is teh pwnz.

Well lit. I got asswiped for poetry. Like seriously asswiped. Its like the worst asswipin I ever got in my life. Like I got asswiped with Mama lemon or something. Like I am totally prepared to shatter all KO records.

NYF has been alright. My group has really nice people, though we still got our own little cliques. Today some lawyers came down and totally smashed pap politics, and told us to get off our ass and engage in free expression without fear.

Yeah Im tired. Kwt lets go play badminton this sunday

angst x 10000

2006-06-23T08:39:00.000-07:00

Its been an exhausting day to say the least. And there's more.

Well i went to school for math remedial with mr. teo. Not only did i find out that i am absolutely assfucked for differentiation, I also found out that integration is only tested till question 10 of the tutorial. That is a boatload of time wasted, and I was rather pleased with myself for finishing the tutorial especially since i learnt the whole topic from scratch only in this hols. Cruel ironies of life. Now it seems I overlearned for the topic.

Then there was the forum opening. Honestly today's opening was a waste of time. Pounding rock music slowly but surely creating a permanent reverberation in your head. Local bands revelling in torturously long out of sync numbers, not realising that the crowd has gone, or the slight grimace on my face. Yoyo champions making you wonder what the hell is that kinda dream life? Cliches thrown around, people trying too hard. Oh whatever. I was just sitting there, not sure whether i was staying out of laziness or obligation. I was sludge. Angsty sludge

I could have missed cts, but now i cant. Because the guy in charge of my group is an idiot and so am i.

Now i shall drink more coffee and read anthony and cleopatra. its 12.12. Tomorrow I have camp.

noisy

2006-06-20T09:38:00.000-07:00

woo the frogs outside are really noisy. They utter some sort of incessant hum which drills into your skull after a bit.

Speaking of noise, i remember i got really peeved when the neighbours were having their house renovated like a week ago. I was taking a pretty important call and then the workers were on their roof drilling. bloody noisy lah. Well in normal circumstances my current complaints would be considered petty. After all, its a freaking renovation. But honestly i dont like my neighbours. And therefore I shall bitch about them -_-

Well firstly, we realised like 10 years ago that those people dont treat their maid very well. Well the maid had no life to say the least. Like all the maids that pass through their dominion sorta crumple up after a bit.

And the first tangible indication of my family's cold, distant relationship with them is that we dont ever converse or talk.

And the last time we talked, it was during my house renovation 3 years ago. The neighbours launched a POLICE REPORT alleging that 2 of the jolly indian workers doing my house had crept over the rusty fence in the middle of the night and attempted a theft.

Now firstly, the dudes doing my house are freaking angels.
Secondly, their house is derelict and worthless. There is nothing to steal.
Thirdly, there was no evidence apart from that half-witted woman's testimony that she caught a glimpse of them. Like the whole world was basically o.0 like wtf is she talking about.

My parents were really exasperated because any renovation is stressful and they really didnt want anymore trouble. My mum was extremely angry because the woman was making a ruckus out of like nothing. And my dad, being ever the man to yield to a peaceful solution plainly told her that if she was that displeased we would hire a cisco guard to guard her house for her.

She was pleased with the suggestion.

LIKE WTF =.=!!!! =.=!!!!

I am plainly bitching more than the current occasion merits. I think its because i just drank a bottle of coffee.

But anyway no one likes them. Crusty ol pockers with an ugly house.

Our neighbours across the road are nicer. The last time they helped to bring pete home in their car when he got knocked down by a car. Sometimes their kids come over to play too.

bloated sia

2006-06-17T07:55:00.000-07:00

Well yesterday I was busy with NYF. Wally and I went a bit early so we decided to play some pool at the cineleisure arcade. My potting skills are just plain godlike lah. Too good until i potted the 8 as well in the first game -_-. kanasai but i RAPED wally in the second game. Like pong! and every friggin ball went in lah.

Then we went to play the 2 things and a puck on the table. And i got annihilated 12-7. And wally was using 1 things (the round things with handles) while I was using 2. Hes damn cunning, always aim for the left corner aka my achilles heel.

Yeah NYF was fine.

Today went to eat at The Line at Shangrila Hotel. The food is really quite good, but its real pricey too. About 70+ per person for dinner buffet. So yeah it kinda falls into my "eat once every year" bracket. Theres tim sum, indian food (paper prata rocks!), chinese style duck charsiew etc, grilled meat, chinese style noodles and meat, soup, vartieties of steamed fish, pasta & pizza, jap sashimi and seafood (scallops and lobster are good), salad bar, fruit. I prob missed out some. Yeah the desserts are really superb as well. The ice-cream is done coldstone style which makes it quite interesting. Theres waffle and crepe too. And they have a wide variety in those little cups, like tiramisu or coffee flavoured chocolate or a blackforest cake in the shape of a football. They had a 5 level chocolate fountain but i thought the chocolate was a tad too sweet for my liking.

And if i might add the service is top-notch. The only shortcoming was the separate ordering of drinks. 70+ is exorbitant to say the least and having free smoothies or juices would have made an excellent package.

Anyway we had a really amusing moment with an indian waiter, all thanks to my ever-busybody sister

-waiter comes to give water, his nametag reads Jeran-
Sis: Thanks alot Ger-ran. Is that how you read your name?
Jeran: Uh actually its not my name =.=
All: O.O WTFBBQ -we are all mightily perturbed-
Sister: Uh so whats your real name
Jeran: Sannu
All: WHAT THE BOMB O*^*@&*(&&$&&!

Turns out hes new so hes using someone elses nametag. It was really awkward and funny.

roland garros II

2006-06-11T20:18:00.000-07:00

Dammit, federer lost to nadal. The nadal forehand topspin totally raped the federer backhand. Its alot harder for federer because he has to hit his backhand really high due to the bounce. Hmm but clay really isnt federers natural surface, so yeah kudos to him for reaching 2 tms finals and roland garros final.

But anyway wimbledon is coming, and I expect the god of grass to rape all.

Btw portugal angola was hands down one of the most boring soccer matches i have ever seen. cheebye boring lah -_-

uahsuhugahushguhg

2006-06-07T05:45:00.000-07:00

Im tired. RMUN day 1 was tiring. I think its because i slept late. I watched 2/3 of the federer ancic match. Then i did some math. Math is such a struggle to me. You see, it doesnt click. You know some things just click for some people. Like physics.

Hmm how do i articulate this. My mind is excessively rigid in numerals. Well its sorta like picturing a right angled triangle. Some people can take the diagonal. my mind has to squeeze around that sharp rigid corner. Haha and I usually get stuck there. Then i start to hiss profanities. It doesnt help the situation at hand, but it does get pretty kathartic.

Yeah, so ends my session of lamenting.

roland garros

2006-06-05T06:05:00.000-07:00

Well it seems that the french open this year has been somewhat overshadowed by the world cup. Im still watching because clay is unique, and the matches are the most pressurizing. And you get god-like 5 hour marathons.

Witnessed like 1/3 of the henry-mathieu nadal match (4 hrs 53 min). The level was pretty damn high. And yes the raging bull nadal looked fallible for 1 1/2 sets. The first set was a phenomenal 1 and 1/2 hours. Well I was very lucky to be able to witness the most resilent defences of serve in my life. Mathieu saved NINE break points on his serve in ONE GAME. Sick freak man.

And yesterday i watched federer rape berdych. Federer aint a clay man, but hes moving alot better, and keeping his shot quality up.

Today is nadal-hewitt. Nadal shd rape. hewitt can only slug, and nadal is the king slug :|

On another note. How bout some insane tennis shots from roger federer.

1) Federer pwnz roddick. Utter genius. It is a god-like shot
http://youtube.com/watch?v=2Hp-EArV6s8&search=federer

2) Federers fun house :)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=M3Db9asWTLs&search=federer

3) Federer implodes, raping even himself.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=72MGmXQlZLQ&search=federer

4) The ever famous 45 stroke rally between federer and hewittt. Feddy lost that one, but reintroduced the no look smash to the world, and basically redefined scrambling on hardcourts.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=sF78LW5e028&search=federer

5) Exquisite. I have never seen such a tight dropshot in my freaking life.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=woDlxN8aJAk&search=federer

Gogo federer!

FREE GTA 2

2006-06-03T05:26:00.000-07:00

rockstar has released gta2 for FREEE!!!!!

I know gta3 practically pushed the boundaries of third-person shooter gameplay and graphics, but gta2 is freakin hell fun. Its basically the same kinda thing - doing missions, hijacking. Cept instead its a small figure on the screen with a top-down view. The weapons are kao peh fun lah. Electric gun! And the stuff you put on your vehicles is bloody crazy! Can equip with mines so you can set them on the street. Can equip with oil slicks so you can make every car go haywire. Freaking fun lah.

So yeah if you're bored, heres the link

back

2006-06-03T01:31:00.000-07:00

back from batam. It was a mixed trip for me. Could have done better. point is, things are never as simple as they look.

The sun is hot there. No i didnt melt hah but i did get a mild tan.

haha I learnt to play hearts. It's quite a fun game.

Blog later then. Im tired.

2006-05-31T09:48:00.000-07:00

uh huh 1/4 of jc life is over.

so what : O

ahhhh

2006-05-27T07:42:00.000-07:00

Anyway today went to crystal jade for breakfast. Pretty good. I destroyed all tim sum before me. And all porridge. And i had coke :)

Yeah and in the afternoon i had a nice nap.

And in the evening i had math tuition again. Now i understand almost all the theories of integration, which is a real relief. Now to apply.

And tomorrow i am going to batam. For 7 days.

See you then.

I know sian and yao need to read this blog so bad that they'll stop breathing without it. But i dont care :) DIE BIATCH!

last day

2006-05-26T09:46:00.000-07:00

Today was the last day of the term. A relief math teacher came in for tutorial and i promptly slept his lesson away. So flagrant. Yeah Mr. P's lesson was one of the better ones because he decided not to start people-bashing. I enjoyed it. Mr. B showed his funny side apart from g8 expectations. That was a nice surprise as well.

And then after that wally me and raynor and xy talked a bit. Then me xy and wally played some primary school game. whiteboard was the goal and one of us would be a goalie, while the others tried to score with a paper ball. It was real good fun. I liked that.

Then after that I went for my batam trip briefing. That was fine too.

And then I found out i got into thimun w/o needing an interview. Thank god for that too.

Then I came home to have my first math tuition in 3 weeks. That wasnt bad too. I understand like 2/5 of integration now. V for Victory. Im whoring math tuition this holiday.

Yeah so i enjoyed today. It went by smoothly, quietly. A nice closure to the term i guess.

Hmm, i like this solitude at the moment. Feel kinda languid. Thoughts are kinda lagging. Yeah wadever I like it anyways.

aiks

2006-05-25T08:41:00.000-07:00

Im burning out. In the sense that i cant find motivation anywhere nowadays. I just want to slump down in one corner and sigh. Or play with my dogs all day. Or watch tv nonstop, or surf the net non-stop, or play the com non-stop. I just want to get mind-numbed or something. Or I just want to go away somewhere where i can totally forget things for a while. Like amnesialand or something.

I need this break. And i need a nice overseas trip really. Not some shit like KL or anywhere in this screwed up SEA region. I need like..snow or beach or something.

And im just going a little senile (hi ama we're on teh same wavelength now!). Im starting to abhor phones and email. That's so like my dad.

Gah I feel world weary, and insecure and irrate.

And i so need to study.

diao, i wonder if i want to grow up.

PS. komrade joined my class. Ill thank god for that.

ah yo!

2006-05-22T18:15:00.000-07:00

hmm for a short period of time yesterday, murphys law struck. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong, and I wasnt even doing it on purpose. There was a certain sinister synergy in the air to say the least. And now im stuck in a queer rut. Hmm its terrible really. This could be really bad.

fark joo murphy!

2006-05-21T06:06:00.000-07:00

Today was a pretty random day.

Yeah i played badminton with kwt, his parents and his dads friend + son. We improved our doubles win rate to 50% (from 0% the other time) with some inspired smashing + defence. Not as many mistakes as the last time round. And we finally defeated our arch nemisis: KWS MA AND PA. After so many lost battles, im proud to say we've won the war!!! And there they were looking dejected and downcast after our scintillating 15-13 win.

And zomg we saw some gaijin angmoh with like the most insane tactics in the world. His placement is basically impeccable. I thought kws mum was cunning, but hell this guy is the master fox. Kanasai man his net shots and drops tight like bomb.

And btw we were not harrassed so much by the cheekopeh leech today. He decided to go for an array of targets, taking us on before going for the court with the godlike gaijin man (where he got beaten to pulp). Yes and we beat him and kws dads friends son comprehensively.

THEN that puta decided that he needed a morale booster, and decided to start leeching off a court with FIVE YEAR OLD KIDS WTFBBQ. Thats just low man. I mean it either shows hes benvolent, or it shows hes despo or sth. I got a gut feeling its the latter (and my gut feelings are always correct).

And on a completely random note, pw is a bitch. If it had a physical form or sth that thing would be mangled and mutilated beyond recognition. Ill add insult to injury by sticking my smelly yonex shoe up its ass -_-

shite

2006-05-18T06:39:00.000-07:00

yesterday was a bittersweet day. A lot more bitter than sweet though.

Some people were totally and utterly crushed. Others like me just felt inept. I cant put my arm around a girl, neither do i know what to say to make things better. I'm afraid ill aggravate the situation, afraid ill say the wrong thing, afraid that my words dont hold enough weight.

But i know its really got to suck. And i feel so bad for them because you can feel the disappointment in the room. It must be just so fucked up. I cannot comprehend.

And now Im afraid to add some cheer, because some seem to be giving me forced laughter.

And i do know that anyone new coming in wont be getting the real me just yet. Im sorry but for the moment my true blue classmates mean more to me than you. much much more. And if anyone new displaces anyone in our class..Im sorry, its not your fault but you wont get such a good time with me.

And..rjc lost in rugby.

comfy

2006-05-16T03:36:00.000-07:00

Woo i feel kinda lax at the moment, coz there doesnt seem to be anything big left for the term cept gp commons.

Anyway on sunday afternoon i destroyed kang wei at badminton. My smashes were freaking scintillating and kwt was simply spellbound. He couldnt touch me man. NO CHANCE NOOB. 15-12 the final score. Crushing win plx. This only goes to prove that fitness is in no way related to badminton skill.

Yeah but before that we teamed together to lose to kwts parents. Yeah. We lost both sets to them. It was quite embarrassing. But kwts dad is pretty damn good and his mum is bloody cunning! cheeky net shots sia! Yeah and we were making mistakes all over the place, which was so not cool. But anyway kwt saved his mums cunning shot from like 5 cm away. Like he put his racket at the net and it just happened.

After that we had the singles (where i deciminated the padawan). And after that we teamed together to face kwts dad and some old faggot haolian gui who just strolls in and tries to leach. Yeah we got thrashed coz kwts dad is some power freak -_-.

Then we took on the old fag and kwts mum. We were really tired so we didnt play properly. But i hate that ass because hes always pointing out our mistakes when we lose the point. Somemore say kwt defence suckass like 20 times(I'd like to think that aint completely true). Freaking pretentious, not as if hes like that good.

Moreover, he just got a damn guailan face that makes you want to punch it. That part isnt his fault, but still...

Anyway scholarship results out tomorrow. Faith faith faith.

tired

2006-05-11T06:20:00.000-07:00

Im quite tired. There's just tons of stuff going on.

Hmm i seem quite world-weary.

You know ive always convinced myself that i could survive on like 6 1/2 hours of sleep (12 isnt even late by my usual standards). But you know sometime earlier this year i slept for like 10 hours or something (one of those fluke days i presume). And the next day my movement was a lot less inert, my brain activity wasnt quite as dull. Yeah it was then I realised that the earliest I sleep cant even sustain a peak condition for my brain. Its quite tragic really.

And i got 9/25 for my math test. Thats fucked up. Half the class failed but its still fucked up. I basically threw away a potential 12 marks (from which i would have salvaged enough to pass) from fundamental first step errors (like misreading my number line, or just adding such a ridiculous aberration to my equation that gar goi would probably have vaporized if he saw it) or simple overlooking of what was staring me right in the face.

And ill pray for geog test. Because i feel so shaky about it. I need faith.

And during rec bad on tuesday i got the news that i wasnt gonna be in the exco. Im fine with it really. I realised that i tend to hold back in rec bad, and it really isnt that fulfilling anymore. I aint that good, but i really aint that bad either at this sport. And you cant possibly expect me to be smashing the daylights out of people who cant hold the racket properly, or lobbing full court. On tuesday xb kindly let me like play with him, and he promised not to smash. Damn it felt good to get a solid smash.

Haizz what i really need is a kwt. Or maybe one of these days ill challenge those dudes that like to flaunt their skills against weaker members. I hate those people, because it really spoils the fun for the weaker dudes. I mean they just smash down the half court lobs, or do a super tight net shot. Its faggoty i tell you.

Yeah and im quite happy to be going for a batam relief trip for like 6 days at the end of may. Usually if i can get through to the children, i really really love it. And i dont have any worries about their emotions because i know its all genuine. And getting back to rustic, undeveloped places just puts me at ease sometimes.

And i realised that i dont know how to react to girls' feelings. What do i do when a girl cries? I dont know what to do really because im usually so nonsensical that nothing seems quite genuine.

sleep debt sia

2006-05-07T03:38:00.000-07:00

This weekend has really been about recovering on sleep. Yeah been sleeping quite late throughout the week, got everyone mad.

Anyways yesterday went with family to eat at pariss international in taka. Judging by the prices (42.50 per pax is quite a bit), the food was really disappointing. Basically the restaurant buffet serves up expensive stuff like chilli crab, foie gras and abalone. But the 'good' stuff isnt cooked well at all. Thats why you get the impression that the restaurant is trying to strike above its own weight and is failing. And really the atmosphere is like seoul garden, practically no comfort. Its just like a mass chiong. Ill give it credit in the jap food department, which was excellent. Tempura prawns, unagi was brilliant. Sashimi maybe a bit too thick but yeah it was ok. Another standout were the scallops.

Ok rating

Jap food 9/10
Rest of the seafood (7.5/10)
Meat (7/10 for horrible steak but good satay)
Deserts (7/10 for less-than-good quality of everything except the fondue)
Drinks 9/10. Pretty comprehensive
Ambience 2/10. DISGUSTINGLY CROWDED

overall 41.5/60. NOT WORTH YOUR MONIES PLX.

Yeah and i tried foie gras (overcooked says mum) and big oysters for like the first time in my life. I have to say Im not impressed by either. I prefer ou jian.

Woo elections. My main grievance is that THERE AINT A HOLIDAE ON MONDAY. WTF???WTF???WTF???

holy pock

2006-05-02T09:26:00.000-07:00

Its official. MY PC IS SOME NABEI SUCKBOMB. DAMN JOO CHUA.

Anyway i just finished smoking up some GPP. Im practically dripping bullshit. Like smoke is liberally moving through my orifices.

Woo thank god. Geog test postponed, econs test postponed. Never in my bloody life would i expect such a bonus.

Pray that i get into rec bad exco. FAITH.

WOO IM DROWSY AND HIGH AT THE SAME TIME! CANT CONRETOL MYA FINEGERS AYANMORE!!#!@$

ahyo stress

2006-05-01T07:02:00.000-07:00

hello i have an econs mcq test tomorrow. A geog test on wed. And a math test on thurs. That is really mad. And at the moment i still have an aq question for gp to do. My sister tells me not to give a hoot about gp, and so im trying not to.

Yeah today didnt really feel like a holiday, except for perhaps the sunlight permeating the house when i woke up. Thats a real defining trait of a holiday :/ Anyways my parents are in europe, and so they bought me a swiss army knife (i dunno why, i guess its cool), and an adriano jersey (correct decision no. 1) and a DEL PIERO JERSEY (WTFBBQ). I can somewhat tell the last purchase was out of indecisive desperation.

Im real happy for them because they seem to be having a good stretch of time together (without kids) for the first time in a long time, checking out architecture in italy and stuff. Usually my dads quite reluctant to travel, because of logistics. Yeah now they're in switzerland. Everyone of my mum's sms' seem to have the word awesome. Its disturbing -.-, like how bout a bit more variety.

And btw opposition rallies going on at holland block 32. My sister checked one out, said it was man boring. She also added you can see where they are coming from, but their goals are just not pragmatic. Oh wells.

shagged like some man

2006-04-30T00:48:00.000-07:00

What the bomb my sis went to buy me a krumpler bag coz she saw sian or yao with one (or sth that looked like one) and was inspired to make me cool -_-. Degrading sia!

yeah yesterday went tag-cutting for botswana trip. Quite tiring sia, but had aditi and sabby and janice, one of the humans seniors in my grp so conversations were lively.

After that rushed on home, bathed, then went to help out at the project greengrass concert at nyc. Not bad, good stuff. Electrico, west grand boulevard, vertical rush (which i thought was the best!) and the screening of Green Grass the movie (about the life story of Glenn Lim). I enjoyed myself, made some new friends, but was really really owned at the end.

Anyways on friday went for jazz concert. Of course the highlights were cher, sarah and deborah. Yeah hyqel and adams guitars were also leetzor. But i have to say that a large portion of the genre doesnt appeal to me unless sung or played by those first 3 names. It really plods along imo. After that went j8 to have milkshake with wally.

Ya im tired

hmm2

2006-04-26T10:30:00.000-07:00

thank god I got into hissoc exco. Really wasnt expecting it considering how dismal my interview was. God works in his mysterious ways i guess.

On a more infuriating note, that poktard PI teacher wont reaccept my slightly-modifed PI. I mean i just changed "tradition" to " momentum" in the heading in hope that i wouldnt fail so badly (as in yes, either way i will still fail) and still she wants to jig around spouting bureaucratic bull. I mean you are playing around with people's futures lor. Its just so frustrating. I think shes very anal.

Another anal person was the bus driver the other day. Wont accept 55 cents unless i show my youth ez link (which i lost). Arguing him was really not worth my time, so I paid $1.30. OK pecky is not only a taxi otahku but also a bus otahku. When drivers are adamant about this kinda thing, please dont argue with them because the scene just turns ugly. They just dont see the common sense you are making. And those older-aged chinese bus drivers are just classic chinese anal. They are the epitome of one-sided logic. woo what a rant

On a sadder note my aunt in Malaysia just died. First of its kind for me. I guess im fortunate to have not seen death in my near family for quite some time. Its even sadder because my parents and my aunt and uncle from malaysia are currently away on a holiday in Europe (and the chances of them doing that are like probably once every 10 years). Yeah so its quite tragic that their sis died. Apparently she fell down, fractured her hip. Later on she collapsed during her kidney dialysis, yep and never came to. But I think she was suffering abit. She had diabetes, kidney failure and was senile.

Hmm i wonder when my grandma will go. Its anytime really, and the mortality you see in her just disturbs you a bit. Hmm

hmm

2006-04-25T06:25:00.000-07:00

Humans scholarship interview went quite smoothly today. Thank god, even though I think i was a little repetitive. Yep its all in his hands now, so ill just pray.

Ok and I think on monday i was too caught up with humans to even think about my PI, which i utterly screwed up. Like really bloody doesnt meet the requirements. Im really feeling it now. So freaking screwed up. And the stupid teacher wont let me make changes, some bureaucratic bullshit like ooooh you already discussed with your grp so you cant bloody change it. Like what the hell lah just let me redo and hand up, its due by wednesday wad. At that time it really wasnt a priority so I docilely gave up trying to convinced that redtapefiend. I suddenly realise i utterly and totally deplore her. Like damn im screwed for PW.

peeved sia

tired like some man

2006-04-21T10:11:00.000-07:00

Yeah I slept real late because i had a mindblock while doing my lit essay. So today already KO like some bomb. Fell asleep for most of Mr B's lesson, and was really restless during math.

After that i had to gof or mentoring at jgs. Students went swimming. I was utterly destroyed by those cunning water spout things. One second im wading happily with my student, next thing i know I gg tio some imba fountain. Everyone got that you-some-bomb look on their face.

Yeah after that i went back to support RJ against SA for rugby. RJ won the intense match 13-7. The RJ support seemed extremely weak, despite the multitudes of people. I did expect more boisterous cheering from RJ. Maybe it was because i was at the side of the crowd

Then i was coerced into buying a raffles rock ticket. Im really not a mosher dude or jammer dude or anything. But wadever i had some fun with sian yao n poey n han n lip n suan. We were screwing around, singing really insanely loud along with the singers, jumping up and down for no particular reason (when no one else was), going out of control with the cheering, cracking dumbass jokes lol. But really i'd like to think we added something to the dull atmosphere

Bah ill give my opinions.

Electrico: Not bad, they debuted some new material, which sounded quite decent. I thought they could have played some of their more accessible radio material like 'running away' and 'good time'. People were rather alienated for their first few songs, as was I because the lyrics were incomprehensible. But still 3k for half and hour is just ridiculous. But yes they are very professional

Eden Soul : Ok the singing was pretty good, i admit. But I have to admit the christian rock song was a bit o.0 for the crowd. Still i respect them for trying to spread God's message.

Spanish fly: I enjoyed this band because they were really energetic. While Electrico failed to rouse the crowd, these dudes did. I really liked their first song, and I enjoyed their rendition of bon jovis 'living on a prayer'. The lead singer has an astonishing falsetto. Its brilliantly high, kinda a mix between classic bon-jovi (in the 80s, not the nuba stuff they sing now) and axl rose. I thought he would have made an insane version of 'i believe in a thing called love'.

There was one acoustic band, with one of the humans seniors singing. I wasnt really paying attention to the performance (because i was trying to eat my hotdog which wasnt exactly palatable), but it sounded pretty good. They did a version of Incubus' 'Drive', which was very nice.

EIC: One defining factor about EIC was that they played very accessible songs, with pitch perfect performances. It made it highly enjoyable for everyone to groove to. Moreover, they chose the perfect opening song. Vertigo is just utterly ownage to start off a set. Definitely a fan favourite. But i have to say i didnt particularly like their version of 'No Such Thing'. Damn, can no one pull off that "I wanna scream at the toppa mah lungs" falsetto properly?

Zhen: Oh ma bombs. These dudes just had the wrong music at the wrong time with the wrong audience. I mean at 10.30 pm and you give these rockers a SEVEN-SONG set of ANGSTEH GOTH ROCK BORDERING ON HEAVY METAL. My guess is the audiences around here like songs with at least a basic melody -_-. A good half of the people left during their performances. I was at my breaking point and then i went to play solitaire on my dopod.

Absolut: Uh ok. I think its just me and punk pop. Firstly I deplore pug jelly. Secondly, the dudes falsetto was so uncontrollable that it degenerated into a SHARP scream in "I believe in a thing called love". That was the breaking point for me, and i left.

expectations

2006-04-17T09:40:00.000-07:00

Anyways today was napfa 5 stations. I actually did better than i expected - in fact i think i did pretty damn well by any realistic estimates.

Pull up - 1 For an 80 kg slob, that really aint bad. At least its a pass.

Standing broad - 204 Hey its a fail but it aint bad because usually i cant go pass 200. Every cloud has a silver lining i guess. PB THIS YEAR PLX I OWN

Sit-ups - 45 eh really not bad. I thought i really wasnt going to get past 40. But the weather was just freaking cool, and with quanz being my counter i was motivated past the 43 mark! I'd like to think there was a bit of heavenly intervention on allocation quanz in my grp, or the conducive weather.

Shuttle run 10.6 Zomg this one was seriously overperformance. I hadnt broken 11 this year. For an 80 kg fat slob, 10.6 is just off the hook delirium.

Sit and reach 44 - Not bad B.

Well on another note i suddenly miss the old 4L dudes. Like quanz and posef and twinny biatches and chuntehnoob and sarge and co. Well i really enjoyed doing PE with quanz today. In RI I had a fuckload of fun with quanz because we were really similar in our likes and dislikes and weaknesses and we roughed it out man and laughed our ass off and suanned each other to hell. I cant think of any moment, but its just this biting reminiscence somewhere thats got to me at the moment. Back then friendships were just plain old warm friendships where you knew each other inside out, and you could throw words, ideas feelings around like no one's business.

Gah thinking about it back then, things werent so serious, competitive, people werent so obssessed, so paranoid. It's slightly unnerving in RJ, but its the real world i guess.

Not that im acting any differently than i was in secondary school. Just slightly more cautious, a lot more worried.

BAH

2006-04-14T07:06:00.000-07:00

I just hate math. It really sucksbomb. _|_ math go and die math.

The MT house party was ok lah. Briyani was good :), the rest was a little blah. Highlights include some awards ceremony of which the nominees comprised RP ppl. And other highlights included KY singing blowers daughter. Pretty good rendition. But his prolonged falsetto sucks like some man.

Oh well. I absolutely despise math. Its just one of those mindblocks that you hit and hit and hit. And when you finally solve a tough question, I really dont feel the zing, or the whatever shitty feeling of triumphance thats supposed to come. I just think: fuck, thats one more down.

I feel particularly irate tonight because i just attempted some TYS questions. I GOT OWNED LIKE SOME POK.

oh bloody hell

2006-04-12T07:08:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is 2.4. They should have water stations. The dryness of it just kills me off. I start coughing like some old pock.

Todays jgs mentoring was even more ko than usual. We went for a double field trip to the agrotech park, and then SUGEI BULOH. The former was fine. The latter was hellish. The kids were getting tired, and its very hard to keep spirits up when they dont respond. Plus it was extremely humid so everyone gg.

kanasai lah.

da,m

2006-04-11T05:29:00.000-07:00

You know I really regret forgetting to go for that interact meeting on wed. I could have self-nominated myself for interact committee. I thought I wasnt eligible but hey everyones saying heck with trying out for council, just whack this one and see where it goes. Well shit I missed the chance. Im just too conservative, Im not thinking of whether I could pull it off, or whether the impediment was even there in the first place. Terrible. Its one of those expletive-filled moments in life when you blame no one but yourself. And that sucks, because you just get owned by yourself. Bloody hell. Still I betcha its part of Gods plan. Thats something cool to fall back on.

Anyways I think God helped me through that rec bad interview today. Think i did decently.

And the council presentations were interesting today. I thought muthu/izlongs grp did pretty well, as did wallys grp and shaun lius group. Lips group seemed kinda rough and confused.

Gah damn angst

tapatapatapa

2006-04-09T18:49:00.000-07:00

Heyo havent blogged for a long time.

Friday afternoon went for mentoring at JGS. Freaking fun, the students were going swimming. They really love water, as do i. I rolled up my pants in the shallow pool and it was nice just to feel water, and play with the kids.

Anyway on friday night my family went out to eat kyonichi ramen at china square central. Its pretty good. After which we went to eat swensons. Pretty good as well. Yeah.

And then on sat there was ora. wally and i were whoring bigtime. We whored all the parents. Yeah and I ate quite a bit. Yep and the interact drinks were disappointing. They sold out, but the quality was really lacking.

And then on sunday i went to help lip and his team with his council stuff. Quite kokster and cool. And then i watched the Gospel of Judas at night. Quite interesting. Btw the gospel of judas is not in the bible, but was only recently discovered. They discussed the possibility of Judas being assigned the role of betrayer by Jesus. Yeah so its kinda paradoxical, coz hes the traitor but not the traitor at the same time. It would fit in, but thats quite man. And the gospel of judas underlies the christian faith, coz it believes that jesus died for a different purpose.

Yeah :/

T.T

2006-04-05T07:48:00.000-07:00

I was distraught this morning, because inter lost to villareal. The whole team just looked so insipid. And toldo as usual was the villian and the part-hero. He let in the easy goal and then he made 2 outrageous saves. Esp the second one from riquelme. Just incredible.

Well nothing much happened today, but i was quite tired. I nearly fell asleep during math tuition in the afternoon.

hm

sigh

2006-04-04T02:57:00.000-07:00

Ah ya I didnt get into the campaigning stage of council. Needless to say, I am bitterly disappointed, especially since I took a huge gamble. Now Im not even eligible for interact club committee, which I would have stood a good chance for (at least imo) and I value extremely high on my priority list as well. Interact after all has always been my homeground. So it was either this or nothing. I have to say I came off pretty badly.

Yeah my interview was probably some suck bomb, or perhaps I didnt have enough leadership experience. Well all the prefects in the class got in, congrats to them. I dont know if they favour previous leadership, but ill just look to the fact that if your interview was good enough, you probably would have got in. Well no use debating.

Anyways if you read this I really would prefer it if you didnt come up to me and ask about it, or made an attempt to say some consolatory words. Its just not my thing, and its one of the things I don't like about failure. Just act normally plx, because ill really be fine.

Well since i am pretty free from responsibility, I should be focusing on rec bad and hissoc and interact, and looking for other avenues out of school that would interest me. And focus on schoolwork and stuff.

Pretty big setback, but i'd like to think god has a plan for me and this was part of the plan, even amid the disappointment. It helps to soften things up I guess. When i played a particular song to my sister, I never quite understood why she loved it so much, and still does. Well perhaps the lyrics arent wrong. We'll all float on alright.....I'd like to think that things will turn out fine.

Float On by Modest Mouse

I backed my car into a cop car the other day

Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on the exactly the same day
Well we'll float on good news is on the way

And we'll all float on ok

Already we'll all float on
Now don't worry we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Alright don't worry we'll all float on

And we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Aliright don't worry even if things end up a bit to heavy
we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Ok don't worry we'll all float on

Anyways my sis got into stanford. Totally imba. Thank god anyways. I just couldnt see her going anywhere else. I know she wanted to get into stanford extra bad, esp after her trip there. So yeah she was pretty ecstatic over it. Yeah so that night we went to Jumbo Seafood, and she was super quirky and annoying -_-. She used everything and anything to form the letter S. And every sentence she said ended with stanford. Deliberately irritate me sia! Boliao like some bomb!

Anyways later on she self-jack when eating crab

Sis: yada yada yada stanford yada yada
Me: -______________-
Sis: yada yada yada THEN SHE DROPS THE ENTIRE CHILI CRAB CLAW ON HER DRESS
Everyone: T.T O.0 :|
Me: stanfordian eh ^.^
Sis: T.T OWNED

Anyways once I was taking a taxi home at night, and it was a real cool ride, coz the lao ah peh was going real fast. And you know taxis run on diesel and are rickety things, so it was super surreal and jerky. Almost like GTA. Ya nothing in comparison to the hesitant lump I got today.

Im tired.

Heyo

Went to cut marks and spencer tags in the morning. Dont see the rationale of it but the company insists, so hey we haveta oblige. Pretty menial and brainless.

Then went for the funeral wake. He seems quite calm. I dont know whats under that layer, I just hope hes fine.

Was going to go out for shangrila buffet. But then the house had a blackout. As in a serious one which required an electrician in. So we chose to go to Jumbo. Yeah that was good.

After that we went NYDC to have desert.

So busy day.

No inspiration nowadays really

hello. These days ive been really tired. Like really drained. The class is great though. Anyway today went to NUS for some east asian update from the world bank. Pretty good, but very heavy on substance. After that rushed back to school in a taxi for like 1/3 hissoc meeting. I wonder if it was worth the $12. There are tons of seniors in hissoc.

Yeah. Some tragedy hit my class or sth. Everyones kinda down. I have loads of stuff tomorrow.

mixed feelings sia

2006-03-28T05:22:00.000-08:00

Heyo. Council interview was decent. Thought i could have done better, but hey its over im not gonnna harp about it. Just thank god he brought me through. Quite a bit of pressure off. Havent gone for fundraising since friday, which is why im quite docile tonight. Anyway my ama got my distant grandaunt to donate 200 bucks to me, which is an insane amount. I was stunned for like 30 seconds. Grandaunt Susie is some imba. I also didnt expect my amas PR to be so captivating. But hey never underestimate a couple of dentures and a warm heart.

Well one person is gonna leave my class on uwc scholarship. We are all happy for her, but sad that shes leaving. Shes going norway, can catch fish and ride whales sia. And she can learn norwegian which is cool. But then again, she'll probably leave a gaping hole that cant ever be fully closed up. Gah.

BAH

2006-03-26T05:16:00.000-08:00

Heyo ppl. council interview tomorrow. Pray for me please that i will not mess up.

BTW INTER LOST. STUPIDSTUPIDSTUPID.

hahaahaha

2006-03-24T17:02:00.000-08:00

Eh yo ppl. Been real busy, esp with fundraising. Its damn exhausting.

But at least i had better luck yesterday. Thank god. At least ppl were donating.

In the taxi to raffles place the taxi driver had a big mouth and a big ego. He was ostensibly sexist, and was spouting bad words like gord-dam and farking. He started bitching about mentalities and how girls can seduce lower-rung yuppie caucasions. Shawn Chua and I were just o.0. Gave some useful advice about approaching ppl though. His sons are from ACS. cool.

Put on my best facade and went on to harrass people to donate. One caucasion didnt seem to pleased. "I donwanna donate i justwant a fuckingtaxi." Ok man just relax not like im gonna rape your balls or sth. Others were quite generous. But the angmohs and non-chinese are generally unaccustomed to donations.

And i met an 84 year old ri old boy. He was a pe teacher in ri for like 26 years, which is damn long. He also represented Singapore in the OLYMPICS. KANASAI FIFTH IN 100M WHICH IS DAMN BLOODY GOOD. I really appreciate little gems like this ^^.

And i had diarrhea this morning. That sucked. There is nothing quite like the uncertainty of diarrhea. Is it solid or liquid or mash! Its an exciting (and abrasion-filled) journey for your raw ass.

And im going to watch Doubt later with humanities.

And i need to have more faith in god that he'll bring me through.
And i need new songs. So many good songs, impossible to get. Its one of the few things that invigorates me.

Btw red hot chilli peppers DOUBLE album out may 5. Shd i get?

I donno lah. Im just gonna let the blog degen. Damn no-life already.

hmm

2006-03-21T01:37:00.000-08:00

heyo. havent blogged for sometime.

Yeah on sat was my grandmas 95th birthday bash. Held it at this hokkien restaurant. It wasnt that good, quite cramped. Then suddenly my table started talking about my amas obituary in front of her lah. I donno whether she took it well or not o.0

Yeah so now its back to school. Its ok i guess.

gah

2006-03-16T06:12:00.000-08:00

Heyo. Mum sis and i went out for dinner with our previous math tuition teacher. Went to tony romas. First time for me. The ribs were pretty decent, but i still prefer my mums pork ribs. Interesting deep fried onion thing though. Baked potato is excellent. I like the ambience though

Yeah then we went to bakerzin, some high-class eating place in paragon. Not that im high class, this kinda thing is like once every 3 months or sth. Yeah my sis and i tyco tyco choose some sai drink 'iced lychee mint drink'. Wah sai. $6.50 and it taste like some organic crap. The mint (ie the shitty vege) overpowers the TINNED lychee, and the whole thing is some green slush. Anyway the deserts were mindblowingly delicious. Chocolate cake is hot on the outside with fudge on the inside. Cheesecake (which looks more ice-cream than cake) was also great. Its pricey, but its somewhat on the range of nydc + a little.

Anyways quite sore that i have missed out watching quite a few movies. But im more of a dvd person really.

Munich (which my sister says is mindblowingly good)
Transamerica (which i cant watch coz there are dildos, and hence a rating)
Capote (which i missed)
Constant Gardener (which i missed)
Walk the Line (which i missed)

I also want to watch V for Vendetta. Looks like a coolio movie.

Yep had class party. Really good fun. Sumaes house is ginournmous. And shes generous and kind, and her mum is generous and kind. So there was tons of food and drinks. Insanity sumae! Insanity Sumaes mom!

But eh her frogs are hideous. Ill admit her dogs are cute, but they are hideous as well. Kickable! The guinea pig is a friggin sloth btw.

Water bomb fight was good fun. Damn fun. 2 1/2 minutes of pure madness. Before we degenerated into hose wielding monsters. Then we slumped down in her inflatable pool.

Zomg food was excellent.

We watched The Ring (jap version). It really aint that scary. Yeah after you watch shutter nothings scary anymore. Shutters a bitch. Dont mess with it. Then after that a crack appeared in sumaes house' flawless facade. Zomg tv room no dvd! NOoooooooooooOOO. The expectations of tom yum goong were insanely high.

Worship sumae plx.

btw wally owned me after i dumped dirty water on him :D

ah ya!

2006-03-11T20:55:00.000-08:00

woah. thats alot of tags on the taggy eh. Makes me feel like an attention whore :)

Anyways yesterday i had MINDS outing at sentosa. My buddy was one of the more problematic kids, and it was quite hard communicating with him. His name was chun boon aka lord of chaos. He enjoyed destroying sand structures while devouring vast amounts of food. Yeah and he didnt speak much, so it was quite stressful. And he scratches and pinches with glee. To add insult to injury, he abandoned me as his buddy 2/3s way into the day, came back later and USED me to get to his newfound buddy. Preposterous in any sense!

Yeah its days like this that maybe the feeling that you get at the end of the day isnt exhilaration or satisfaction, but rather tenuous frustration. Gah, didnt strike up a friendship, and if any relationship was struck it was probably a mutually antagonistic one. I stop him from wrecking stuff, and he interprets it as hostility, ferociously pinching and scratching me. Not to say i didnt give him his way a hell lot of the time...ar ya.

Anyway had Youth Challenge sleepover last night...yeah. Shagged

And now i have class party cum sleepover at 3 pm. Time to get crushed.

And i got a new cool fridge. The old bitch broke down and im glad.

And if they dont show inter ajax, i will mince the screwtards.

Heyo went for Jurong Gardens MINDs school today. Definitely a new experience. It was my second choice, but i really dont mind because meeting tons of ppl from different social grps really gives you some perspectives.

So at first we painted some flowerpots for their project. Then after that the VP kindly let us interact with some special class ---meaning those with behavioural problems. I got some small cute guy called choon han. Its really interesting learning how to communicate with them. Sometimes you copy their movements, sometimes you just laugh with them, sometimes you have to be firm. I wonder if i can ever be firm with them. Apparently you got to be slightly rougher in disciplining them.

Some of the wilder ones are really off the hook. They get hard to handle when they hit puberty, according to the VP, because they get a whole new range of emotions. Yeah some can be quite outrageous. Anyways, im quite sure it'll be a refreshing learning opportunity. Theres nothing like communicating with someone who thinks completely differently from you.

Hmm on another note, i saw twins in the school. Made me feel a tad sad.

On to other things. My sister got accosted by some drunkard in the MRT train. She smsed my mum and everyone just went frantic. Yeah so the Peck army was mobilised. Ya well the guy didnt follow her, so thank god. I would have had no qualms about crushing that cheebye. Seriously. Like stomp on his balls or sth.

:/

Hey my mum got scammed by 2 china people. Its like she was driving and they pulled the "ah yo i got no monies and me relatives comin only tomorrow" scam (cept in china accent mandarin). And so my mum gave them 20 bucks. Then they pulled the 'ah yo can give us more' scam and my mum fell for that one as well. Another 22 bucks. Yeah and she also gave them her number and address.

My guess is that shes gonna get an SMS or postcard saying: You are teh noobaiest nooba wes has eva seens. And yes wes can speks gud engrish yu nubcake.

Zomg ultimate. I am calling her noob for the rest of the month. And shes a working professional! The irony is that shes so stingy with money. For example she just used her staff card to get a discount on ONE ECLAIR. 15 CENTS DISCOUNT OMG. The other time she was quarreling with a photocopy shop aunty over 20 CENTS, and ludicriously threatening to go to another shop to print. Funny.

Btw my ama just got admitted into hospital again :/, she was complaining of severe hip pain. Haiya feisty old tortoise that woman is. 95 and still alive and kicking (figuratively).

Just went to check on her just now. In 1/2 hour she said

'Any subjects you are weak in, just study hard' X 4

plus an additional

"You must study hard" X 3

Yes. Its almost as if she telepathically knows that my studies are currently all-round shite. Ah yo poor woman getting all emotional and teary-eyed whenever shes in hospital. She somehow feels this debt of gratitude that she cannot repay, and she thinks shes a burden to everyone. Yet i dont know what life would be without her. A stalwart of the house who provides prayers all round, strikes us with unintended jokes at the most unexpected moments and epitomises the stubborness that i often find within my own character.

Things somehow feel better when she's around, maybe because she's free of hypocrisy or facades - shes too old for it. Or perhaps because her simple, clear-cut value system balances out the complex, nuanced lives that the newer generations lead.

The other day i came home and and was surprised to find her sitting on the couch singing hymms from a hymm book. Well she hadnt gone to church for a while because of her frailty, so yeah its been some time. No music. A raw, cracked voice that was out of tune, but at the same time in tune with exactly what God would have wanted. And i think such heartfelt desire and tenacity is hard to find.

Respect. I still got lots to learn.

GET WELL SOON PLX AMA.

Just went to holland v with my sis and mum to celebrate my sis' stellar results. Meanwhile my dad is fishing in andaman islands. Yep so the 3 of us went to sushi tei, and then gelare for desert.

Anyway more to the main pt of this post: my sis got some kanasaibbqwtfwhatehbomb results.

4 As
1 distinction, 1 merit for s paper
a2 gp

And her PSC scholarship got confirmed. chao nahbei hard to get lah.

She's in humanities (hwachong) btw, so its actually very hard to get 4 As. It's a known fact that it is much harder to score straight As in humans than in science.

Damn, thinking about it thats some monster godlike. So yeah shes kinda like the cream of the cream of the cream of the crop now.

ZOMG WORSHIP SISTA PLX
