12月..的寂寞?

  • 12月1日(星期六):

我2點才起床,就想直接去泰順街好了, 反正好久沒回去看阿嫲。

回到家,阿嫲依舊躺在床上,都沒起來活動,誒... 陪她聊一聊,過後姨姨說要去幫丞丞撿葉子,我建議去大安森林公園,然後我們大家沒一下子就出門去!姨姨想說身上有好幾張Subway折扣券,不如我們去吃Subway好了。Chicken Teriyaki跟Seafood。價錢跟新加坡差不多,口感卻不一樣!而且飲料免費暢飲!

(Subway圖片)


在大安森林公園,目的是爲了撿葉子,檢了4,5片,天就黑了。看不到樹上葉子的形狀,最後我們只好選擇今日告一段落。

説好要跟舅舅,舅媽一起去夜市吃晚飯,但表舅媽一通電話叫我們去家裏吃飯,姨姨就叫我們先去新店陪她們吃飯。其實我早料到一定會很無聊,但在姨姨的慫恿下,我也無可奈何!=X

果然夠無聊。表舅又不太會招待我們小孩子,我和妹妹只能跟昱昱,丞丞,保恆和阿浚玩。

那叫我們去就算了,還叫舅舅舅媽,媽媽一起去(昏倒)!拖延了我們去夜市的時間。

然後我們去師大夜市買妹妹的包包,買了個500元的包包,看起來還相當起眼的。我們也在路上踫到舅舅舅媽以前店裏請的印尼妹妹,還聊了滿一下子的。原來,老闆-員工的關係還可以以維持在朋友與朋友之間的那關係。真的還很難的。有時候想,會踫到舅舅舅媽他們這樣的老闆,真的很難的,員工應該要好好珍惜,想到前2個禮拜請來那位姐姐,真的台懶散了。

珍惜吧。

  • 12月2日(星期天):

原本打算要全家一起去宜蘭,結果因爲大舅生病(好像是感冒) ,所以撤銷了原本的計劃。濃濃也因爲以爲我們回去宜蘭,早答應朋友一起去台中看棒球(日本對韓國)。

後來因爲熬夜打電動的關係,1點才起床,就吃舅舅他們一大早起床去買的鍋貼,炒麵跟類似薄餅的潤餅卷。想快回新加坡,還是乘這幾天要好好享受臺灣的美食,小吃!

後來我們一起去信義的誠品書店去買書(爸爸之前托我們買的書)。去那買,因爲東西規劃得比較整齊,而且舅媽說是臺北最大的誠品書店。

説好2點在誠品和媽媽,姨姨和小瓜他們一起會合,結果他們3點才到!舅媽就一直碎碎念,說他們真沒有時間觀念!呵呵!

到了之後,舅舅第一帶我們去5F,孩子區,東西真的好多!有適合孩子的書和玩具,還有很大的遊樂場!而且遊樂場特殊的地方是那裏有分屬於不同職業的區,不同的玩具,放在不同職業的地方!有玻璃(清潔工人),百貨公司,警察局,等等... 舅舅就建議姨姨,以後可以帶小瓜來這種的遊樂場,讓他們玩耍,好過整天呆在家裏玩電腦...這聼起來還有點像我自己 =X

舅舅說,現代太注重小孩子的學業,忽略了應該他們成長中應有的美好童年,造成孩子長大后,除了讀書之外,根本不記得童年時到底做了些什麽,是相當遺憾的事。

我們去寵物部門買了黃金獵犬的書後,我就想說買幾本吉他和鋼琴的樂譜,回新加坡可以自己練習。緊接著,因爲舅舅不舒服的關係,舅媽叫我們快點買一買然後回家。因爲時間的關係,只賣了2本吉他譜,1本鋼琴譜,不過都是厚本的,所以還是蠻值得的!

本來要回家的,結果我們又跑去吃!吃樓下食堂的米台暮(冷),還真得不錯吃!小瓜因爲還沒吃東西,肚子餓,先點個咖喱飯來吃;妹妹點了韓國拌飯,阿浚點了焗飯。舅舅,舅媽,媽媽和我先去喝咖啡,80元一杯!雖貴了點,可是口感的確讓人覺得很舒服..或許是心靈上的想法吧,可是臺灣的東西品質,很多國家本來就比不上。

我是想去睡舅舅家,但想說濃濃晚上很晚才會回家,還回泰順街好了。

  • 12月3日(星期一):

今天晚上我們一起去吃韓國烤肉,大葉對面,公館附近的‘江梅’韓式烤肉,一人300元,說貴不貴,我覺得還不錯(又不是我出錢 =X ),有無限暢用的韓國泡菜,韓式年糕,甜地瓜,飲料(麥茶,冬瓜茶),還有冰淇淋!醃肉味道還不錯,而且我蠻喜歡韓式烤肉的烤法。他們的鍋子跟一般烤肉,火鍋的鍋不一樣,吃出的味道也當然不一樣咯!

其實我之前有跟媽媽,舅舅,舅媽,皮皮哥哥來吃過,當時他們就在這發現他們店隔壁以前打工的妹妹。還記得舅媽上次還跟她比胸部!超爆笑的!

那這次呢,是因爲妹妹和阿浚上次沒來過所以才來的。這次有一飃人!舅舅,舅媽,媽媽,姨姨,妹妹,阿浚,昱昱,丞丞還有我自己。

用餐時,舅舅就一直說一些道理給我們聼,希望我們日後待人,待事,會有所不同。説實在,我的觀念有一大部分因爲他說的話而變了..變得比較成熟..真的。

誰說只有律師,老師,總統,總理,大人物講的話才會有道理?其實那些做小職業的人,頭腦也不簡單。會讀書的人,不代表一定聰明,而不會讀書的人,不代表一定是笨的。

不要以外貌,職業,人在社會的地位取人,那些只是做來參考。而要懂得一個人,還是要和他真正相處過,才懂。

所謂“海水不可斗量,能人不可貌相”,而“路遙知馬力,日久見人心”,不要因爲某人給你的第一印象,而立刻判斷一個人,為他下結論。

  • 12月4日(星期二):

下午我們約3店,一起坐車(約30分鐘)去汐止的黃昏市場買甜不辣,還買了小孩子愛吃的棒棒雞(我也是)。此外我們還去買要帶回新加坡的一些吃的。甜不辣,蜂蜜蛋糕,魚肉,雞翅,胡椒餅,等等。那家的雞肉震得很好吃!那我們就這樣,買一買一堆的東西,然後都是我在扛 XP

還有,就在這一天,我目睹了姨姨有史以來,跑步最快的一天。就在我們走去公車站時,一輛公車(好像是925)剛好來,姨姨第一時間馬上跑去,哇賽!眼見公車本來要走了,姨姨竟然在離我們約100米的地方,叫到車!太強了!

(還要說一件事。昱昱在車上聼歌,還是饒舌歌,表情超認真的!後來濃濃就說,他還可以慢慢培養他呢!哈。)

我們在家附近的公車站下車,妹妹說要去配眼鏡,姨姨和媽媽就陪她去,剩我一人要扛一堆的東西,還要帶昱昱回家!回家雖然只需10分鐘左右,但感覺就像是我這生最久最長的10分鐘!超累的!

回到家,先叫小孩子來吃雞塊,阿公就一直罵我們,吃不健康的食物 =X 過一下子,媽媽他們就回來,我們等到10點左右,去公館跟大家吃天外天,就連阿嫲也有去!就少了阿公,不然就一家團聚咯!吃東西的時候,我們小孩子的話並不多,就一只聼大人講話。

那天吃飯時就只記得他們問阿嫲她最疼誰了,她就說,:“大家啊!”,但感覺卻有一點點怪怪的。

還有阿浚去幫姨姨,妹妹把飲料,那我剛好被麻辣湯給辣到了,想趕快跑去拿飲料。那阿浚剛開了兩瓶,我就想說,先喝一口,但又想其中一瓶少了一點,一定會被發現,所以就乾脆兩瓶都喝一口,水面看起來都一樣,該不會被發現。沒想到,還是被姨姨敏銳的觀察力給察覺到 =X

阿浚發脾氣事件:

吃完后,我們想,還是走一走才坐車,吃飽先散佈散佈一下。後來大家都坐上車,只有我跟阿浚要去睡舅舅家,但誰會想到,他們一走,阿浚就發瘋!號啕大哭!我們大家都不知道發生了什麽事,莫名其妙。

原來,他說他們上車沒有叫他,其實他也想回泰順街,可是他剛剛明明就說他要去舅舅家!那舅舅無可奈何,只好叫我跟濃濃一起坐計程車送阿浚去泰順街。

我想,也好,我先回去,然後拿自己的衣服,不然到時候又要把濃濃他們的衣服送回去,那有多麻煩阿!那沒想到,回到家後,阿軍又說要回舅舅家,真是三心二意!阿浚就只好頭低低的回舅舅家,真是丟臉!=X

  • 12月5日(星期三):

回新加坡僅剩一天,想說要好好利用一天的時間,結果我們又睡到下午2點才起床 =X


一起床,我跟浚一起趕去大葉,舅舅早就休息了,說舅媽在隔壁店吃羹,吃魚丸。我原本説好跟阿浚去公館,結果被舅媽叫來吃羹 =X 我想一定吃不完,所以只點了一碗。結果我們在等食物端上來時,舅媽咬下去的福州丸噴出湯汁來,噴到我衣服袖子都是!=X 果然是多汁的福州丸!哈哈。

我就跟阿浚一起去公館,喝Mr. Wish,我點他們的白色珍珠奶茶,浚說要試試看他們的冰淇淋紅茶,結果他也沒把它喝完!浪費我的錢!一杯可要40,50元耶!


不過也想說快回去了,錢留在身上也沒用,算了吧。然後呢,我們逛一逛那裏,可是因爲身上沒多少錢,什麽東西都沒買,原本看到幾件衣服還不錯看,想等下叫媽媽陪我去買,可是結果沒時間去買 =X 我們繞一繞公館,在一家二手店看到了bread的精選集,或許下次回去時可以買吧。

空手回店裏,相同情況有發生了!媽媽,姨姨説好5點在大葉見面,結果姨姨卻打來,說在家裏等我們,我們想店裏的人越來越多,怕人手不足,還是在店裏先幫一下,等舅媽來店裏時才走。舅媽平時5,6點就回到店裏,不料他7點才到家裏,阿平哥哥就在我幫忙點菜時,幫我們炒炸醬。阿浚幫忙收拾碗碟。


舅媽一到,我們趕快回泰順街,叫妹妹先準備,舅舅舅媽8點多到家裏接我們,一起去寧夏夜市,吃控肉飯,炒空心菜,豬雜湯,蠔仔煎,還去吃古早剉冰,回去新加坡就吃不到了!我們還喝了姜汁,超辣的,舅媽喝了一半,就想說阿公正好也感冒,就大包一碗給他喝。


(拍到的照片不清楚!)=X

  • 12月6日(星期四):
我們的班機是7.40點,而從家到機場需約40分鐘,所以5店就要出門。媽媽說4點事就要先準備,那反正我們常熬夜,想說不如不睡好了,淩晨我們就整理行李就好了。

我的東西其實不多,因爲沒買到什麽。我都還有時間去師大後面的一之軒買麻薯給Cheryl Tan,還有愛心手帕給 Kuan Wei!妹妹東西就很多,然後還要打包吃的,冷凍的,所以還是等到4才整理。阿浚趁這段時間完麻將online,妹妹則是看American's Next Top Model 3。我也很無聊,就跟著妹妹看,然後打電話給濃濃跟他說一下話。

好像就這樣吧。

4點媽媽起床,我們一起打包冷凍的東西,還真的滿多的。然後我們輪流跟阿公阿嫲說拜拜,就想要怎麽用比較不感傷的口吻跟他們說再見,因爲知道阿嫲心理一定會不好受。

果然,她又流淚了,雖然我這次心裏比較平靜,但真的,說起來還有些離譜。

破了Godfather和MetalGearSolid3破到後面,去了新竹舅媽和SAYUN阿姨她們的家鄉,去了烏來,雲林之外,還有在店裏幫忙,這個假期,好像沒想象中那麽得輕鬆。因這跟阿德吵吵鬧鬧的因素,搞到全家天翻地覆,真傷腦筋。不過有時會想起小時候全家很團聚的畫面,我還是會覺得很溫馨,還是會有點想哭。時間過得很快,人,也變得很快..

親眼看到一個原本能快快樂樂的過生活的人,因爲身體某一部位的損壞,失去了方向,失去了理智,失去了朋友,就連一個家庭..也漸漸失去她了。

什麽星光大道,什麽榮華富貴,或許都是空虛的。

找到一個適合自己的另一半,建立個穩定,開心的家庭,才是真正人生所能期待的。

最後,當然也少不了政治這話題。有些人真的需要好好反省,飲水思源,我們還是不要忘記民主的來源吧,不要什麽都不關心,關心‘大中致正’四個字,真的太無聊了吧。去紀念蔣介石,還不如我們紀念希特勒。神經病!臺灣真的太亂了!

p.s. 我們跟星光幫搭同一架飛機,本來還要跟他們要簽名,經紀人一直叫我們等一下,還叫我們不要拍照 !太誇張了!機場又不是他們的地盤!結果我們就真的沒跟他們拍到照,因爲出去後實在太多人!或許應該像阿平哥哥,姨姨講的,臺灣人就是要罵!想起來還真的有點氣!

難得有緣分跟他們同搭飛機,既然沒簽到名!

不過最好笑的是,我一直叫不出潘裕文的名字,妹妹就問,“是誰啦!你朋友哦?”

讓我啼笑皆非。-.-

Oh. And I called Cherly in the morning and woke her up. Sorry! =X
誒。
想說,回到新加坡一切又要從頭開始了,我是有點厭倦了,我是有點累了。
新加坡待了這麽多年,卻總是無法讓我又那種歸屬感。
或許是父親這邊親戚的冷漠,或許是新加坡人真的缺乏人情味,還是說,我根本就不屬於這裡?
我..就在這時..
突然感覺到新加坡在12月的寂寞。

Be

I guess I only have myself to blame.


Supposed to wake up early to go play soccer or basketball or smth with my cousins at around 10 at 台大, in the end I woke up at 12+, largely because I had went to the mountains the day before, it was so exhiliriating, and the sleeping factor - I didn't sleep AT ALL! Ok, maybe on the bus yes, but it was only an hour! Didn't reach 台北 until like 5? OMG it was so tiring. I'll blog about it (with pictures when I have the time).


Yup anyways, it was like this. 濃濃 had to go 西門町 for his band 'interview', or so they call. This band called '井' needed a singer, so he went there for a try-out in hope of getting recruited. In the end he PANG SEHED me! Coz some girl asked if she could come along, so he agreed immediately. Like WTH! HAHA. But nvm, I guess everyone's got their own things to do at each stage of their life. Somethings are just more impt at this stage of his life? Maybe? Ha.

So that left me with 皮皮哥哥 to accompany me to 微風 to have lunch with 舅舅,舅媽,奶奶,阿公,媽媽,姨姨. When we reached, they just had their lunch -.- So I had lunch with him only, we had 2 salad set lunch sets which cost like NTD300 each! Good food dont come cheap, of course. Ha. 跟舅舅走,一定有美食,准沒錯!=D

(Picture of the salad)

We spent some 2 hours at the cafe there I think, from 3 - 5pm. But we had some interesting conversations, that's for sure. Though we were rather bored at first, but we still crapped our way thru, we saw this 立委, I cant rmbr the name, but they were discussing about him, saying something about him facing the wall for most of the time. 一定是見不得人才看牆壁!Ha.

We had Japanese muahchee too! My favourite. Especially the chestnut flavoured. They all said I had the lucky one with a whole chestnut wrapped within the dough. LOL!

Had an 'argument with 皮皮哥哥 over the crumble bread he bought. Coz I was unwilling to give up the bread I had set my eyes on! HAHA.


Oh ya. We were talking about relatives losing touch with each other, therefore leading to generations of relatives not knowing each other, and marrying each other, resulting in 'defective' childrens. Then 皮皮哥哥 was jokingly saying 'might as well not be close to each other!' So there wouldnt be feelings lost. Ha. But I doubt we'll ever lose touch, eh? I hope not. Haha.

Straight after LUNCH, we had DINNER. I'm serious. 婷婷姐姐 came all the way down from 新竹, then we had dinner together at 南京飯店. I think. Once again, lots of jokes coming from 婷婷姐姐! =D About his husband, his father-in-law, mother-in-law. Ha. It's the way she says her stuff! Just so hilarious! =D

We had lots of food! Again! =D

(Picture of food(s))

HAHA!

Shockingly, there was a COCKROACH in the soup! Fortunately I havent had any bit of the soup, while the rest had finished theirs =X They had it replaced and treated us to some red bean muahchee. But it still wasnt worth it! I feel.

Went home, talked, played 'advertising space', hands sore! =X

Played 'joker'. Sleep.

Watchin'

Didn't really do much today.

Morning:
Couldn't really sleep in the morning coz of the coldness. It was so cold I think I had 2 blankets. Plus grandma's turning and tossing made my sleep even worse. In the end I went to the living room to watch the horror clips. I think I'll miss them when I return to Singapore. Some of these stories are really nice. My 2 favourite programmes are: "大膽旅行團" and "不可思議的世界", both which the host is 小潘潘.

Afternoon:
Didn't go uncle's shop till it was around 1. Was super late. Anyways, they hired this new university girl.. She's only 17 years old! Born in 1990, although she claims she's 19 -.- She was so quiet that even my uncle said that we should talk to her more. Yup anyways she's nice =X But I shouldn't go into that. Went to the bank with 濃濃 to pay the bills, then went home to play PS2, he introduced me to Metal Gear Solid 3, which I have yet to try. Oh my god it's damn cool. The graphics, the feeling when you get your hands on the controller. Really makes you feel like a spy, although I must say it's quite hard to manipulate Snake, but the interesting part is the stamina and hunger part. You have to hunt for animals and fruits to feed your character! Quite cool huh!

Night:
Thereafter, 舅媽 asked me to meet at the shop at 7.30, then we agreed to go 南機夜市場 to have 羊肉爐, still tastes the same! It feels great to have it especially during winter. Really warms the body up, and makes me feel much much better. And there was this routine. We went into the market and had red bean soup! We'll never give it a pass when we pass by here! Haha! =D

And when we went to 85度C to have cakes and coffee, I heard over the radio, they were playing a song with a beat that was so SO FAMILIAR! Then when I went over closer to the speaker, I realised it was the beat Kin and I attempted before. The 'Watcher' beat! So whilst the rest were sitting down and having their cakes and coffee, I was trying to listen very closely the song. Although I couldn't really hear clearly because of the noise level there, I heard the 2 lines from the chorus, something about:
".. you got your eyes on me...
I feel you watching me..."

Something like that. Not too sure but I'll go find out the rapper of the original song. Ha.

Feelin' you're being watched?

Damn the hot springs!

Was woken up by the constant voice of my Mum.

It was a last minute thing, but my mum's cousin (I suppose I'll call just call him uncle) called to ask us along to 烏來 to go for the hot springs.

I think it's been years since I've seen this uncle, in fact, I barely know him! He's a police officer, actually the head of the area around 烏來, so he was quite familiar with the place there.

First off, we took the MRT to 新店 where we took Uncle's huge van (he borrowed it actually) to his police station where we sat down for a 'tea session' and played with his 2 year old son, who was initially very shy, but his smile just brighten up my mood, and the atmosphere! On the way there my sister and I were just sitting at the back of the van and listening to the conversation between my mum, uncle, uncle's vietnamese wife and my mum's twin sister. Quite dull, actually. But then I was listening to Uncle's vietnamese wife speaking, and surprisingly her mandarin's very good, and the best thing is that she knows how to speak 台語! I should really reflect upon myself eh. How can a Taiwanese not know how to speak his own dialect! Shit. Ok I must really learn and read up on it. SIAN!

Ok nvm. After that we headed to the hot springs, which made my skin all itch and reddish! I think my skin's not very resistant to the 'polluted' water there. Even my mum caught a bloodshot eye. The very next day my grandfather was shocked to see the rashes on my arms and my neck, then he told us that the hot springs there aren't 'clean'. Like they actually 'recycle' the water because of the lack of pure spring water. I heard they actually categorise the hot springs into 3 levels, the top level being the cleanest, and the 3rd bottom level being filthy because of the water trickling down from the 1st level! Like OMG!

No wonder these rashes develop. Damn!

But one thing I enjoyed was the food we had at this restaurant on our way to 雲仙 to take the cable car.
(I'll post the video)

The cable car at 雲仙 was so fast, I think we got to the other station on the mountain in less than 2 minutes! The scenery was picturesque, but a pity there were mist blocking our view from the top when we got to the top of the mountain - on foot. Little did I know that was the native place of the native tribes - 泰雅族!

Some people were dancing there, some were selling their local foods - the fried small prawns were nice! Crispy and a lil salty. =D

(Picture of cable car)

一周...就這樣過去了。

在臺灣的一周,就這樣過去了。

不知不覺中今天就晃過去了。
今天中午12點才起來,後來跟媽媽,浚一起去師大後面吃中餐(意大利麵,用酒參塔調配而成的青漿雞肉焗麵),買了一杯珍珠綠茶,沒想到我來到臺灣,竟然會愛上如此簡單的飲料-綠茶。師大開了一家新的茶店-茶宛,他們的珍珠超Q的,讓人喝了又想喝。纍計了3各蓋章,相信在會新加坡之前一定有辦法纍計滿10張,哈哈!

後來在回家之前,在路上踫到妹妹。沒想到她也會悶,剛問她又不要跟我們一起去!然後就一起回去,媽媽先去洗頭髮。

我們先回去看小孩子,在約4點妹妹就和媽媽和姨姨一起去某某親戚的家,我先去舅舅店裏拿麵綫,然後因爲眼睛有點發痛,先睡個回籠睡覺,沒想到一睡就睡到9點,10點!小孩子一直喊肚子餓,跑去冰箱拿muah chee出來吃!你看!餓到這種地步!想姨姨他們一定很遲才回來,所以先去師大買雞排和鹽酥雞給他們吃。

媽媽他們約午夜12點才回家,還好我早點買東西給他們小孩子吃,不然真的讓他們挨餓!哈哈。

沒什麽事,就上個網,聼聼丁文琪的老歌,在MSN聊一下,就這樣吧。

明天還要到新光三越排隊買puma鞋,還是早點去睡,不然別人搶光我要的款式就可惜咯!

OT:想想,時間過的很快,就一個星期了。
還是趁早去買自己要的東西。
現寫個單子再說吧。

My 1st weekend.. Home.

禮拜五的晚上,妹妹和我原本不該在舅舅家住,但因婷婷姐姐的慫恿,也難得她從新竹回臺北,而且濃濃又說他考試沒什麽好準備,所以我們決定撤銷我們原本的計劃。


禮拜六不知怎的,我9點多就起床了!雖然4點才睡,但總覺得睡了很久,而且太陽有那麽亮,我就不知不覺的早起。難得早起床,我也難得看新聞,得知臺灣政治最近的一些熱門話題和消息。


果然真的很離譜!

關於陳菊當選無效的時間,讓我很難以理解。難道正義因爲藍綠的關係,而有了新的定義嗎?真的很荒唐,而讓人難以理解的!

Funny things

I can't believe I'm saying this. Yes - they are CUTE! my little cousins.

我:昱昱你讓我抱一下好嗎?
昱昱:爲什麽?
我:因爲不然以後我就抱不動你啦!
昱昱:是不是因爲你以後就變老公公啦?
我:... ...

我們大家都在客廳看《星光2幫》,包括姨丈。
昱昱看到我的腿毛。
昱昱:阿淵哥哥,你腳上怎麽會有毛?
我:哎喲問那麽多,你以後一樣也會有。
昱昱:可是爸爸(姨丈)沒有啊!
姨丈聽到,說:因爲哥哥18嵗,爸爸38嵗。18嵗長毛,38嵗毛掉光光。
昱昱:哦。
大家捧腹大笑。

呵呵!很可愛吧!昱昱腦筋其實很靈活。

聼婷婷姐姐說,以前曾發生過這一件事:
婷婷姐姐去奶奶家,兩個小瓜在玩玩具。
丞丞看到昱昱的玩具,用硬搶過來。
昱昱:把玩具還給我!
丞丞:才不要!
昱昱靈機一動,叫丞丞看牆壁。
丞丞不理會昱昱。
昱昱:你看婷婷姐姐!
丞丞信以爲真,轉過去看姐姐。
昱昱動作很快,馬上把玩具槍過來,迅速抱回房間。
丞丞立刻哭泣,姐姐去安慰他。
昱昱還真會耍心機,呵呵!

還記得去年他們兩個小瓜不知爲何爲了"889"這個數字那麽迷,我說一句"889"就超興奮的,會一直跳。就有一次他們在奶奶床上,我喊一句"889",他們馬上抓狂,在床上亂跳。昱昱興奮到不小心跳到床的邊緣,結果‘撲通’一聲,跌下床。一般孩子都會哭,但他就很勇敢地獨自站了起來,然後又在床上活波亂跳,搞“自-High”,一直喊"889"。
真的是很佩服小孩子。
("889"是dominos熱綫2393-9889中的"889")
我們原本是有錄起來的,後來因爲我手機損壞,資料損失!
可惜啊可惜!

In a unfamiliar position.

I found myself in a unfamiliar position when I went to 7-Eleven today. What a huge difference I immediately felt.

So. I was buying a drink for myself, and there was this caucasian in front of me, taking out drinks from the fridge. As I stood behind him, the fridge door knocked into me when he flung the fridge.

I didn't exactly know what I was doing, but my initial instinct was to say 'Sorry'. And immediately after I said that, he replied in Chinese‘不好意思!’

And I was so So SO SHOCKED.

Okay, I know this is Taiwan and people here, including the caucasians speak Chinese.

But it just felt so hilarious at that point of time.

Like, wth! I was put in an awkward and unfamililar position.

It just felt weird coming in contact with caucasians who speak Chinese! I feel so happy, glad and proud to witness that sometimes.

But I dunno exactly why. Haha.

p.s. visited 士林,公館,景美夜市!Food fiesta! Though I've been trying to control myself. I think my sister's gainin' weight at a rate faster than I am. Ha. I should be doing fine. haha.

看了婷婷姐姐當時結婚的照片。很感人,只遺憾當時無法參加她的結婚喜酒。還有濃濃在喜酒時彈吉他,真是感人的一幕!

新不了情

昨天我們6點左右到達桃園機場。

感覺真的不一樣。


那‘臺灣’的空氣,就是有一種特殊的味道,讓人回味無窮。

剛下飛機的我,很迫不期待回到家裏,看到阿嫲,阿公,姨姨,姨丈,阿丞,昱昱,舅舅,舅媽。

到了車站,我原本很想拍幾張照片留念,結果電磁沒電-.-便利商店也沒買電磁。搞什麽啊!然後我就在便利商店買飲料在車上喝,好笑的是,我竟然忘記拿飲料!後來還是店長追我叫我那飲料!


我太糊塗了吧。我想大概是我不習慣臺灣便利商店不發紙袋的做法,連我都回望了拿飲料。又或許是我太興奮了!哈哈。


雖然聽説家裏最近發生很多事情,不過還是希望能好好放鬆自己,在這短短的一個月好好休息,享受。


一到家裏,舅媽,舅舅兩人很快就到家裏,接著皮皮哥哥也跟我們見面,我們到師大夜市吃宜蘭臭豆腐。果然是真材實料!脆皮,加上那豐富的餡料,淋上特別調成的漿汁,搭配得天衣無縫。贊!

而且回到臺灣最期待的是冬天的粉圓,湯圓,剉冰!我們在三兄弟對面的那家剉冰店,雖然不是我吃過最好吃的,不過也是讓人能舉起大拇指的!=D

不過我們其實在吃東西的過程,雖然說真的沒什麽話題聊,不過聼了大人他們的談話内容,發現我們這次回來好像會大有不同。不只是大人他們自己的問題,我還發現濃濃即將考期中考試,看來這次回來真的不會像上次一樣的輕鬆自在。

可是,返臺灣的感覺總讓我覺得有種歸屬感,而無論假期會過得如何,我還是希望能找回從前的那種感覺..

臺灣,不管是昨天,今天,或是明天,就是會讓我心不了情。

p.s. 棒球世界杯在臺北舉行!有空一定要去看看,體會在球場當球迷的滋味!=D

Give me a Sign

So we did meet up, and we watched 'Game Plan'.

It was quite a nice show, although it felt surreal and so idealistic. ha. like it had a TOO happy ending.

But like yj said, it really was quite humorous. The story was well elaborated, although they tend to have neglected some parts of story, especially the part on how the girl came to find Joe. But overall i'd still give a three out of five stars. Worth watching. And The Rock is hell muscular. Ha.

After the show we were aimless, walking around trying to find some place to settle down and eat. In the end i think we spent 30, 40 mins choosing a place to eat? In the end we went back to yoshinoya, the place where we first decided -.- Ha. Anyways it was great to have it at yoshinoya. like we talked for an hour plus i think. talking about things that reminded me of those secondary school times.

But honestly speaking, I felt I was a lil too serious last time, maybe I should have slackened a bit and enjoyed myself. Coz we dun get that kind of life anymore now. So all I can do now is to enjoy myself now i guess? I don't wanna look back and see myself being so serious. There's a time to relax, so maybe from thursday onwards i will.

Recalling those stuff. I think I used to have something against everything. Although I'd probably have kept things all to myself. But it don't really matter now i guess.

I think i have my own friends, you've got your own, people move on. Whether or not classmates remain in touch.. Don't really bother me anymore. Schools weren't meant for all these bullshit anyway. Only people who see thru it'll understand what I'm talkin about.

And so we left after having a long conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Although we spent quite a bit, something I think i expected. ha. Nvm i shall take it as I treated jun wei for his bday. Ha. Oh, and I've finally passed cheryl's present to her. It's been with me for like. erm. since january. So 10 months since I've said i was gonna pass it to her =X

Talkin' about synthesizers, I think I shall start saving after I come back from taiwan. Synthesizers'll help ease those complicated things i hope. Needa practise on guitar and piano and sharpen my skills up. I wanna perform at school concerts next year!

So for the moment maybe everyone's feelin' a little lost and things like that, probably a sign from somewhere'll help everyone out.

-anticipation.

Peace.

Ok nvm about that sucker.
I shall chill since I should be in a happy mood.

Fuckin' shit not worth my time thinkin' about.

Off to meet cheryl and jun wei.
Finally after we've said it for a couple of months. Been looking forward to it. haha.

Peace.

Pussycat.

"I thought I saw a pussycat!"

Thought I'd like to talk about some pussy who talked behind me and rubbished that when I came online. Whatever whatever. Ha.

Manure is the name of your beloved boyhood club
Try to criticise my idol but you ain't shit; just a sub
Warmin' the bench's what you're good at, you piece of shit
Talkin' about my team, I admit, I have a bad habit
That gives me the right to say whatever I like
Thinkin' you could talk shit behind me, drop the talk, let's FIGHT
If you a man, speak up for your own words, PUSSY
Try to push me, then hide safely back in your own shell, PUSSY
That's what pussies do, like fighting with your own self
Tried to put out the flame but you ignited it back yourself
You could have a million friends, feedin on them like leeches
The truth is you a loser fan, arrogant bitches
Making acts to fake out facts, that's just too sad I say
Virtual friends, ritual fiends got ya hoist away
Actin' like you know shit, but you ain't shit, funny
You can compare someone you know nothin' to me
Like he's seen the world locally, can you diss me legally, STUPID
Retaliate? Come and diss me back, THAT'S A SISSY ACT
Thankfully I've got friends speakin' in da name of peace, I'm pissed
But for the moment I'll tape up my mouth and say nothin',
Bitch. And try provokin' me again, bitch.
I may take a few lines from 'Girls' but that's what I think of you too, bitch.

It's not just a diss. It just means you're low class.
And if you ever read this, fuck you.
Like you lack creativity tryin' ta mimick me.
And whatever whatever. Ha.

Gentle Reminder

Think there's a few things I gotta say to some people before I leave.
Yea and before that I've got my OP tmr.
And then I'll sit down somewhere, settle down, think about and decide what I'm gonna do for the rest of my life.

The things I gotta say.
That'll mean calls. ha.

And of course, to visit the people I'm indebted to.

Hey. It's just a gentle reminder. haha.

Damn.

Put your hands on the floor, I see ya creepin' thru' da corridor
Been ta' where the hardest war was fought, where there was blood galore
Police knockin' on your moma door, when we used to be down and poo'r
What's in store, little on this dot we call pore, an ass before the four
Letters, that's what I'm talkin' about, we're crazy about, ravin' about
The materials we don't own, but in reality whores got they spendin' about
A couple o' times a week, we just cheeky geeks runnin' out of creep
I got a problem with ma' sleep, it gets worse in dreams when we meet
They call me a freak, but it dun matter so long as we belong here
And we know no fear, we drive thru highways on the front gear on doses of beer
It's been a year since they got him in jail for blackin' mails and smackin' males
But it dun matter as long as we're here together, laughin' in tears
20 years down the road I forsee a completely new me, and a 'mini-me'
And another millenium I'ma vanish without a trace, to outta space
Where I find myself outta place without a face, and out of the race
Bold the relevant, old the irrelevant, till we work our ass off to be immaculate
Let's tabulate, and formulate the rate we're gonna make it happen
But you know it don't matter as long as we're here together
And you'll know it all don't matter when we'll all be like: "fuck my alma mater!"

Damn.
It all don't matter.

p.s. The wonders of Latin.

All it took.

That night I had to endure the temptation of restoration
And the redemption of resurrection, different combinations
Old school, new style kind of displays that left me feelin' dismayed
But fuck it 'thee, you had to make me wanna cut out this play
Let me bring you back to November last year, before everything disappeared
Like birds struck with cupid's arrow, now you makin' me drown in my sorrow?
"See you tommorow", was the last thing you said, lust was to be borrowed
My biggest mistake was to take you thru' my highs and lows, now swallow!
The biggest phantoms of wallows, feelin' green when you mix blue and yellow
What used to be a blow ain't nothin' when now everything's mellow
To me or to you, to him or to her, they or us, fuck all the tasks
Suckin' up to me when you feelin' what I felt? Frozen and melt
Remember when you first threw me out in the blue without a clue?
That's true, through and through, got some regrets for ya to chew
Little less than a year, ya feelin' lone and pain standing in da rain
Alone, uncock a champagne... were you trained to entertain?
It's laughable.

Feelings may go?
And memories will stay?

It's just too bad.
8 months was all it took.

IF you still remember what you did..
And for christ sake I'm not emo-ing, I've just had enough.
Don't regret your actions, or swallow your own words. That's what you said.

Gone.

I was reading thru' some people's blogs today
I read about changes in life, how people lose what they think they had
How people have their dreams.. shattered and gone.
As I read on, my mind just blanked, as I felt my fingers tremble and my heart shrank..
It wasn't just a prank.. I had just witnessed another living evidence of people who never lived..



I was inspired to be admired, brave and rave, about what that's required
Now, I wonder how I venture to my future, and my future career
Wondering how I'm gonna ever get what I desire, now I feel dire
And tired, but I ain't hittin' my thirties, I ain't got my shire, or even hired
Fired, or perspire, and guess what people's talking about me
An appetite subdued, that's how I'm feelin', what got me reelin',
Was people not real-lin', fakin' it up, and makin' it up, just to get me down
Remindin' me Yen trusted the fella' with the dolla, now that's a bizzare
Close up to me, clothes up on me, you can never tell what rose upexpirin'
I'm perspirin', when people mocked about me not workin' to be aspirin'
Like i needed aspirin, to get me set off and runnin', gunnin' and shinin'
So I'm startin' off with polishin' my shoes, hopin' it would get me thru' to me




See everyone's got their turning point of life, I've got my own to tell
Like 'wait a second if you've got a burning point you got to dwell',
This girl lost her wishes to the glitches, and these snitchers
Were none-other than those none-the-richer, she was more like the hitcher
Someone's offed the switches, and tried to sting a hole in my stiches
These parasites like leeches, some preachers tryin' to reach 'em
Here they claimin' they can relate, I'll get it straight to da' point
When you make a mistake, no matter the rate, you still dissapoint
So tell me the reason I'm still stuck here in sedate, I'm sick here
Solute and minute, grown a shoot and I'm root, the fear of fear
The dreams about bein' a lawyer, doctor, an emcee and a singer
Bewildered, but neither of all confounded, either that or I fall, grounded
Now I'm not here pretending I can relate, but I can feel hate
Within uncontented, when they uncontested, incompetent
They call it fate.. Or mere destiny.. But beyond's what meets more than the eye..
And after that lil' chat I had with Kin, all the more I feel what's lost.. and gone.
The once wild dreams.. Just vanished.. And perished.. Was it too late to save it? Or is this our last chance to wake up from our long trance?
God knows the past was gone.
Gone.
Remiscent.. of 4th February 2007.

我走在這路口..

It's been sometime since he came up with his new album, and it was released quite some time ago, but due to my exams, I havent updated myself with this fantastic new album of his. It's nice, I'm serious. I've always liked his songs, and it fully satisfied my excitement and anticipation and it surpassed my expectations for this album. I'd like to introduce two of his songs that I personally enjoy listenin' to.

Like everyone who faces the lowest point of their lives, I believe everyone does, sometimes we do want to look back and see what we once had, and reminisce about some of the good times we had with our friends and family. You really never know what you got, till it's gone.

歌手:張震岳
專輯:OK

《思念是一種病》
當你再穿山越嶺的另一邊
我在孤獨的路上沒有盡頭
...
一輩子有多少的來不及
發現已經失去
最重要的東西
恍然大悟早已遠去
爲何總是在犯錯之後
才肯相信錯的是自己
他們說這就是人生
試著体會試著忍住眼淚
還是躲不開應該有的情緒
我不會奢求世界停止轉動
我知道逃避一點都沒有用
只是这段时间里尤其在夜里
还是会想起难忘的事情
我想我的思念是一种病
久久不能痊愈

[當你再穿山越嶺的另一邊
我在孤獨的路上沒有盡頭
時常感覺你在耳后的呼吸
卻未曾感覺你在心口的鼻息]

汲汲營營
忘記身邊的人需要愛和關心
藉口總是拉遠了距離
不知不覺無聲無息
我們總是在抱怨事與願違
卻不願意回頭看看自己
想想自己到底做了什麽蠢事情
也許是上帝給我一個試煉
只是這傷口需要花點時間
只是回想念過去的一切
那些人事物會離我遠去
而我們終究也會遠離
變成回憶…

Oh~ 思念是一種病
Oh~ 思念是一種病 (一種病)

Rap:
多久沒有說“我愛你”
多久沒有擁抱你所愛的人
當這個世界不再那麽美好
只有愛可以讓它更好
我相信一切都來得及
別管那些紛紛擾擾
被讓步開心的事情停下了腳步
就怕你不說就怕你不做
別讓遺憾繼續一切都來得及
《路口》

一個人走無聊的路口
我還在做夢以爲你會喜歡我
我的希望落空而香煙不離手
抽到我心很痛

兩個人走我恨這路口
你說不愛我放我在夜裏難過
連再見也不說而眼淚沒停過
苦到我鼻涕流

愛情就是黑洞扭曲我所有
我想要愛你卻迷失了我自己
真的分不出來給的是不是真愛
游戲我玩不起來

我不想走去你媽的路口
破碎的痴夢丟到馬桶讓水流
本人依然沒救而香煙沒停過
咳到我心很痛
深陷沼泥之中沒有人救我
手機上都是你曾經留的訊息
你眼神的不耐有如利刃飛過來
瞬間我終于明白(不在為你心痛)
A few more weeks till I'm going back taiwan, and I was thinking if i should go back. Maybe I should save the money for something else, but on the other hand, I really miss my relatives, and the prospect of all the things we're gonna do together always excites me. I want to return home, but circumstances just don't permit so.

思念,是一種病。
真的。

So far.

Kin told me this was da' real shit, and this was the start of it

Little did I know he meant it, for real, it couldn't be less surreal

I thought, maybe I had some doubts in me, I wasn't sure either

A rap superstar misfit? But I felt more like I was a piece of shit; I screamed,

In high self-esteem, when I thought I met the girl of my dreams

But it wasn't meant to be, I tried to circumvent it, but you see

Somethings happen for a reason, somethings do not, you gotta agree

Waitin'..

This was an old piece which I just came across. It was supposed to be done as an audio, but never had the chance. Now I don't think it should be written anyway. Life goes on, what's gone is gone isn't it. haha.

p.s. it's supposed to go with the beat 'Waiting On You'.

People say fate shall meet us together up there
But the when passion's lost, you just won't care
Like when we started lovin' each other, I felt like
You were like none-other, trust her
To know you, and you'd never thrust her
Coz she was like my soul(sole) motivator
To guide me to my goal, till the future gets bleaker
But you could always make your presence felt stronger
You were always there when I wanted to die
Wishin' I just die and leave this world full of lies
But there's too much in you for me to leave
Believin' that we could overcome the naive-
Ness in us, we coulda repaired it, couldn't we
But you didn't, we couldn't, we shouldn't, see
It was on my part to relive the moment
The further we went, something went absent
Nothin' is instantaneous, just ask your parents
This is a torment, for your treatment, what's the reason
Love became stagnant, redundant, now so distant.. and so ancient


[Hook]
Waiting on you..




That night I was isolatin', left thinkin'
Why I was doing all these for you, sinkin'
Well if you were in my position, you'd rather
Put down all your ammunition, and be gentler
Steppin' stone for your thriller, reminder
I'm smarter, now, better than ever, remember
That letter that was left in your drawer, has turned sour
Rottin' because of past tears over the past years
That necklace, still silver, was rusted, to pieces
And when you put on your earpieces, this piece is
Meaningless, purposeless, senseless, you're useless
Till now I'm still aimless, still fameless, you're shameless
Sensitive, insensitive, over-sensitive, what's your motive
My heart is small, but active, feelin' something so massive
Seduced by you, confused, and I too was fused
I'm like a big joke you can reuse.. reuse.. reuse..


[Hook]
Waiting on you..


People change, and we can do nothin' to fix it
Lackin' in patiece, soon it becomes a bad habit
Used to share a common bond, now you won't respond
Like a cushion to solid rock I'm to rest on
Press on, I'd like to hear once again from you
Angry, 'cause I didn't catch the first dawn with you?
You knew I had no choice to, I had a curfew
Friendship over relationship, tryin' to start something new?
Havin' the patience in the first place, we could ace
In the love race, off the pace, back to the first place
A friend, irreplaceable, a fiend, effaceable
Life is tough, havin' to split my personal
A joint between your axil, a memory eraseable
Where love first found, all this shit sentimental
Assume? Fuck it, it was all you, with me in the room
Make love? We made out without breakin' out, takin' out
What we stated out, like shadows slowly fadin' out
Blackin' out into darkness, and you started backin' out
The truth was I wanted to screw you, it turned out I never knew you
And I'm left here wonderin'..Why I'm waiting on you-u-u-u-u-..


Thought you would be with me till death
But you walked away, just like that
And we never kept in touch no more.
And you just vanished.. Without a trace.
Love become hate?

It's fucked up ain't it
How we from strangers becomin' friends to becomin' strangers again
It's fucked up ain't it

Out of sight..

I'm writin' this in the middle of the night, when hope's out of sight
And the future turns bleak, right now, maybe right after tonight
The night leaves rustle, and I hear the door creakin' in at night
Thinkin' it was just my imagination I let it go, till my frustration strikes
This hesitation to let go, this elation to make known, just a reservation in my expectations for my education, yea fuck my full time occupation;
You get it, a fool-time occupation.
I got an anticipation for this aggrevation of an agression prickin' me and it's disturbin'
Maybe that's a reason I can't fall into sleep, I've got tricks' played on me, it's diss-curbin'
Music is a life worth risk-takin', I'm just thinkin' too deep, but if to you it's shallow
It means you suck so much you can't even follow, so these few bars I start to flow
On 'em, just a simple few bars before I close my eyes and go to sleep..
Hopin' I'll wake up tomorrow to achieve the dream I had in my sleep
And that's about it, I have no other deeds, this is gonna repeat
But what am I supposed to do? Bring em home and leave it alone

sorry didn't manage to flow finish. I'll complete asap.

How to save a life

The few of us guys were just shoppin' around in white sands looking for the perfect gift for mr chee and mr gan, the only 2 teachers we can actually relate to. haha. then came across this song that alan lim said it was nice. Listened closely to it and I felt it was rather nice. Not that I havent heard this song before, I'd probably had forgotten it sometime ago. Ha.



So it goes like this..

The Fray:

How to Save a Life



Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Tired.

I wanted to take this topic like 'if i had..' by eminem, but felt I had to try something different. I'm feelin the way it is in 'if i had..', and i guess everyone feels so like that once in a while yea..?

I was sittin' in a corner all on my own, seein' everyone roamin' home
Havin' won the battle but I'm too exhausted that I feel I had lost the throne
Back in Rome I had a couple million soldiers under my control, now I'm on parole
I'm in the danger zone, zonin' off from one point, I'm broke as fuck, I'm on the dole
I'm tired of feedin' all the food to the people.. When I'm starvin' inside
I'm tired of reading all logic and truth to the people but no one sees me inside
I'm tired of being hollow and trivial 'cause I'm convivial, and I like thrills
And tired of always havin' to follow all the bullshit that fuels my will to kill
Until someone sees me bein' sensible, or takes advantage of me 'cause I'm gullible
Like fuck I've got a job to do, a task to fulfill, and all these crazy shit so surreal..
I'm tired of facin' all these people transparent and real, 'cause they've got me concealed
If I could steal an automobile that drives me on four wheels I'd be so thrilled 'cause that'll be so cool

But set out to be different, I'm apparent, fuck parenting and there'll be anarchy
I'm so busy with my own life, but that's not what I wanna be, I just wanna be free,
Free from this world of anxious and anxiety, I can be tolerable but not to this degree
You gotta agree, nothin's for free, but I can guarantee, if we're given our freedom of speech
Well if you could be me, then there's wouldn't be a need for clonin', even preachin'
'Cause you'll know me like I think I know you, that's dangerously risky, but I can take it
I could have you acquited, but you'll still have me acquainted, friendship and brotherhood.. You can fake it
But I can read it, thinkin' you could judge me but you ain't got a grudge to hold.. You just can't fudge with me.. You're just begrudgin' me for my intellectuality so I'm blowin' off till you can see me no more.. And that's it..

I'm just tired of all these bullshit.

Shopping with guys! LOL.

Didnt want to leave my house yesterday. First, I wanted to study. Two, I wanted to save money and not go out. In the end I failed both -.- Thanks to jy's sweet talk.

I refused to go initially, after finding out they were going to get shirt for be yourself day - the white colour shirt which I already had. But JY's continued persistence meant that I had to force myself to go so as not to dissapoint them.

And yea, there I went with my mum, sis and bro to tampines to have lunch before meeting up with jy, sj and alan double delight.

Chit chatted and crapped all the way from tampines to bugis - topics ranging from the class's recent mishaps and girls - lols. Some humour, but it wasn't really very enganging coz I didnt really set my mind on going out.

We went straight to the bugis street to choose clothes for alan (teo). How indecisive these ppl are. Can choose here choose there, in the end dun want to buy -.- But alan got the shirt he wanted in the end, even though he felt it was rather small sized but we felt it suited him well. Hmm. jy and sj actually wanted to buy theirs, so we headed to bugis junction and encircled the whole mall - only to return home empty handed. I wanted to like sit down somewhere and chill and talk - but alan (lim) decided that we go pool. DAMN! I knew we were gonna spend money. Ha. But I shared with alan teo the money. 10.80 per hour! That's like day light robbery! But they were willing to part with their notes and so I had no choice. Ha. But still, I agree with jy to take it like it's a mini-class outing. So I shall have no qualms about it. Ha.

At night went home and jy reminded me to watch superstar finals, which was showing simultaneously with liverpool's crunch with sunderland. Not that it was a dilemma for me to choose between pool's match and superstar finals - but I had no choice given my mum, bro and sis wanted to watch superstar - and I had to give in to them. Could only catch glimpses of the match during those irrelevant parts of superstar. Had some sms-chat with hazel and shirley. Liyun doesnt reply her smses anymore! wonder why. and shirley had no idea either. ha. I dunno la. i'll probably ask her another time.

It came as a surprise the little boy won superstar - it wasnt supposed to be his day, but it did. I guess these kinda shows have no base of judgement. Though they say it's 30% judge's grading and 70% votes-dependent - apparently the votes will prevail over whatever the judges feel isn't it. Ha. I just wonder how much more these kind of shows can continue to exploit their viewer's money. Actually I'm quite sure it wouldn't last. Yet these kind of shows, no matter how little or how insignificant it may be, will always exist to fluctuate the emotions of both participants and viewers. That was it.

Another saturday - wasted. Ha. And promos is like approaching. Gotta start buckin' up if i really wanna promote.

p.s. thx yewf for today (sunday) man. it's just hard to visualise and see where this path ends. Life is but a dream.

And I was always hopin'.. For the better.

Fearin'.

Since young I've never learnt to overcome what I fear

I'm succumbing to fear, steer me away from this sphere

As i listened closely, I hear death.. It's comin' near..

I gotta persevere, strive on, or vanish and disappear

This hunger to be revered.. Ten years on.. But I'm still here

Like a pioneer steppin' on the gear.. I'm reduced to tears

If I fail to win this, I'll rather not exist..

Temptation temptin' me, tellin' me not to resist

Take this fist, clenched, and that too, stenched, I'm over the edge

No I can't speak french, I only warm the bench

Like a communication trench, I'm out-stretched, over-stretched

.. ..

As I stretch out to my sketching pen.. I hear a sound..

"Who's over the ledge?" I uncower, rooted to the ground

I turn around to that bower, eyeing for a hound

INCOMPLETE

Just..

It was just..

Woke up today morning at around 6.30, i think i'm too used to waking up early, but not this early. Usually wake up at around 7 to be JUST on time for school. haha.

Yep. And then the rest i couldn't remember.

Yesterday was Ivan's birthday surprise party-chalet. Eugene, Sze Jun and I were there with the rest of his relatives and friends at Armanda Country Club. It's quite a nice place to be honest. But to think that candy actually did that for ivan. It's so sweet of his gf to organise such a massive thing for him. haha. not that i'm being envy, but i think these kind of ppl are hard to come by these days. anyways, i felt ivan was being somehow different. like.. he's not the kind of person he is in school. i guess everyone's got their side to share. Seems more quiet i suppose. His friends were all these together, but the three of us just sat at one corner eating and chatting away. (Oh yea, i forgot to mention about the cat which was so attention-seeking. haha. it was circling us several times before it went to find other human beings to play with. I think it was looking for someone to bring it home or smth.) Ivan kept asking us to go over with his friends, but I felt it was pointless. I'm not gonna know them well enough anyway. Not that I really need to or have to. Besides, the girls there were all attached =X and they weren't attractive to me in the first place.

I kind of pitied Ivan and Candy's parents. Like they were the ones who organised everything for us, but it had to be them helping us cook. Ivan didn't get to eat much. He claimed that he had eaten before we came, guess he's just being polite or smth. And he's like awkward speaking chinese. ha.

Eugene and sj were in a rush to go home. Think they cant stay out too long. Or they didn't want to. What's more, we felt so awkward with his friends/ relatives. Sj's mum came to fetch him, and eugene, home. The four of us had quite a chat while walking down to the bus stop. Then ivan sent me off at the entrance of downtown east. I can't really recall the topics we talked about, but we did talk non-chalantly before he sent me off. Some thoughts went through my mind, but I couldn't really express myself. Just hope that the 4 of us can stay together after we graduate. I think we're quite good friends, really.

Earlier, yong jie had to call of his plans to proceed to the chalet with us. He said he had to attend some funeral or something. I just hope things remain fine as we proceed into the 7th lunar month. Jianyao actually thought about coming with us to the chalet after he decided to pon co. I think he's quite similar to me - he hates his cca practices too. I used to look forward to it, but the more I go, the more i got sick of it =/ So he, along with sj and i, went to white sands and tried the thai food at the 2nd floor. It's the first time I've been there since they've renovated. I'd say their food is quite nice, and affordable. Maybe next time we could contemplate having our outing meals together over there. At least it's much better than fast food.

We went to buy ivan's gift after that - a white nike shirt with some red stripes on it - kinda resembling that of liverpool's away jersey, just that it's adidas. ha. We were rather choosy over his gift and spent like an hour deciding his gift, where I could have better spent that hour practising my piano piece or smth. Feelin' kinda guilty that i havent been touching my piano for 2 weeks or so. Needa buck up or I'd be lagging behind. Lots.

After that they came over to my place to wrap up the present, and we had a little chat too. Introduced them a few songs which i was glad sj liked. Borrowed my album after that. Shan't go into the details, but I feel that i've been neglecting some ppl lately. Maybe i should change the way i see things.

Went piano after that and then to meet sj and waited for eugene at white sands. Yea he was late, and so was ivan. I'm glad we were later than we were supposed to be or else we'd be sticking around with strangers for an even longer spell. lols.

Yea. that was all about the chalet. I think chalet loses its purpose if you're not going with a bunch of fun-loving people coz that'll spoil the mood. chalet's suppose to be a place people do crazy stuff together, isn't it? apart from just eating. ha.

... ...

Back to saturday.

After reading the papers and times, I couldn't bear the energy draining anymore. So went back for about 3 hours sleep. Woke up, did some chores before heading to City hall to meet yu chuan. I was late, again. and I'm sorry that i made you wait 'aite! 30 mins! i'll rmbr that. Well at least it'l better than the other time i made jm wait for the whole day outside my house =X

We went to st andrew's cathedral first. it's really a very nice church to go to, but i'm not a christian, but it's still a nice place to visit. i think i may wanna go there alone another time. it's so serene and peaceful there. i like that kinda environment.

hmm. then we went to peninsula to check out some guitar stuff. I realise there's more things over there than at swee lee. think i shall check that place out thoroughly instead of limiting my options to just swee lee. hmm. The prices there are much cheaper too. I need a tuner and a proper capo! but first my piano! hmm.

We went for a 'big walk' after that, walking around aimlessly and losing our way, before going all the way back to marina square to have dinner at subway! woot. i JUST love their cookies. and the first time i've tried their white chips cookie. it's nice.. and fattening too! nvm la. i'll play more soccer.

Never knew somethings that turned out the way it was. If i had JUST stayed in sa, maybe i'd be closer to some of them.. But i guess, things have become the way it is, I JUST gotta make do with what i've got.. Perhaps this teacher's day, instead of going back tms, which I dun feel any connection (neither can I relate to it) anymore, i should go find someone whom i think she's forgotten. But i wanna let her know that I've not forgotten her, and i've really taken her words to heart and followed to it closely. Just a pity to have lost her contacts. I wonder how she's doing. Hope to be able to see her back in school on teacher's day.

Ha. Nvm abt that. After dinner we were actually heading for the mrt, then a passer-by came to us asking for directions to marina bay, you know, that floating platform. He said he was going there to view the fireworks..

Hmm? Fireworks? We were taken by surprise coz we didnt know there was fireworks on display today. After giving him directions to marina bay, we took the short route (yes, we told him to walk that longer route by accident =/ ) to marina bay. Hell there were loads of ppl sitting at the stairways leading to the esplanade. we wanted to find some deserted spot where there were fewer ppl, but it was always gonna be difficult. We managed somehow to squeeze thru to somewhere near the Singapore Flyer. It wasn't exactly deserted, beside the river there were all people sitting down at the rocks waiting for the fireworks. We sat down and did some stupid stff. We even took pictures together! Lol. Like a gay couple seriously. I'd upload pictures once my com's fixed. ha.

It was about 9, then yu chuan wanted to go check out the ritz carlton hotel. It was my second time there. The urgent yc went toilet to release his bladder at once, then we rushed outside to take snapshots of the fireworks (quite childish, I know, but that's the way we are, ha). Spend some time there before we noticed a stylo car! I can't rmbr the name of the car brand, but it was hell style! I'd upload once I get them.

So much for taking all the cameo shots. We had to squeeze to the mrt with millions of other ppl. We took like 20 mins to get the mrt, bypassing the place where our first og outing was held! I think yc wants to organise an og reunion next yr or smth. I hope it'll work out fine. =D

We parted ways at the mrt station, guess all good things have to come to an end. Time flies, especially when u're enjoying it. And i was really glad to have meet him too! And, although i have the cd already, thanks nonetheless for the effort. But rmbr, support originality! Dun download or buy pirated / china cds! Support the taiwan music industry! Think about how you'd feel if u were in their shoes. Yea. That was about it.

I just hope to keep some of these souls implanted in my brain for as long as possible. And for the ever-so-far-out-there-but-we'll-remember-you jing, shine on. take care ok!

And that was.. just another saturday.. Well spent.. But not very productive, on the notion that I've got so many hw to do! WR! Damn. I think sj's come running after me for my part =X

p.s. jing i'm still waiting for your letter..! With the stamp of course, I want canadian stamps. ha.

Off to soccer in another 4 hours!

cycle.

Finally! The start of the new EPL season. the long wait is over! Haha. Now at least i have something to keep me occupied on weekends..! And pool just won yday's match by a gerrard winner! woot. one freekick to remember. aiya. dunno why la. i'm like zihai or smth. lol. the beggining of another cycle? hell yea.

Travelling back in space, it's a race for my place
Complacency gets me in place, i'm off without a trace
Opsey dazey, I'm just so pacy, you can see me blazin'
I can't even spell these words even it's simple like abc
Learnt things the easy way, now i see hard tough, tough harder
Fire crackers off in the sky, i'm way up in the sky, even higher
Just a sinner askin' to be forgiven, I'm in seventh heaven
God tells me there's one of him, to the point of no return
Regret, that's what I said, you gotta live to the fullest
Gettin paid for bein' laid, like a bubble 'bout to burst
Maximise your potential, frailed when I fail to hit the nail
Hup-hup, seconds left with one to trail, what does this entail?
This is your turn to burn, like a clockwise turn on the clock
Symbolisin' your time's runnin' out, bullet thru' a shot
Your candle like hope.. always diminishin'.. Thru life.. Alwayz wishin'..
Not to be betrayed.. But that's life.. always greyed..

Hope it's not too bad. Opz please.

it's just that.. I've just had another cycle, skimming thru some of the past.. It's just stupid. Haha. Hope I'll never have to repeat that cycle. thx 'guys.

Ideal

Reality..

Something so far..


And ever so near.


Gunnin' down the troops of liberty, that's the problem with me
I can't sit on the fence and do nothin', that's not like me
When he turns a blind eye to what the truth has to say
He ain't got no proof, tuggin' it out with his homies, today
Or yesterday, Monday to Friday, Friday to Sunday
I'm battlin' for honours fightin' for a future pay
The way of life...? Hmm.. I'm free from treachery, search my treasury
Brotherhood or mankind.. Behold the blood soaked in this weaponry...


That day I came over to this place with no labels or warnings
Death at the end, it's anger over shy, dagger for killin'
The special one, claimed to be the filial one, never enough fun
Three two one, Three to one, it's close to none, you laugh and I run
No joke told like the innocent folk, see where you gettin' at?
It's words with clotted blood, see where the threat is at?
The rat is reared, the brat is here, like how much dread is feared
Nothin' severe, accelerate the gear when death is near..


When you told me rap won't work, this quirk attitude
I was just a little jerk livin' in his world, call me a rube
Shake this head off, what's that, you scared, 'ab? You were dissin' me too
I was a fool to listen to you! And that sunshine ray
I couldn't trust what you said, but I think that's okay to me
At least, that smirk on your face when I saw you that day
Like you spending seventeen like fifty, me spendin' seventeen
Like I was thrifty, to think that I've grown out of my teen
Longer than you did, more than you know, but that's how it goes
When time's spent, emotion grows, and from then we started to roll
Wait a sec, like 'spend some time with me' was our signal
When lone creeps to reap me apart, this line keeps flowin'
Through time, space, you've seen me blazin', and pacin' off
'The Death' was more than you think, like jesus, blowing off
He was revived on easter, the sunday of resurrection
Secular, back in spectacular fashion..

And the ideal world,
Beyond complexion..

Somethin' ever so far.

Didn't really focus on flow.
Just had these thoughts runnin' thru my mind after Saturday morning.

Forgotten.

I think almost everyone feels this fear once in a while. When you're forgotten.

Have been having the same dream about something that I don't even know if it's true. I'm not really bothered by it, just felt that I had to jot it down somewhere for me to recall about it. Let's see if it's really true. Havent been in the right frame of mind lately.

Guess what.

I miss a lot of people.

My family, my relatives, my close friends.

It comforts me somehow, to know these people still remember.
That despite the fact my handphone and com is spoilt.
(I'm using my laptop now. Ain't that sad!)

Hai.

Anyway, thanks to Aidan for that 1+ hr of conversation we had that day. No matter how long u've been gone, I can't forget this friend of mine. It's been some 2,3 years, and it's amazing we can still chat like bestest of friends. To like share so many common topics, I was so happy to be able to talk to him. =D

And Jing. I've received ur letter and replied to it asap. I feel so touched to receive your postcard! =D But the thing now is, o.g. 27 has been torn to pieces. We no longer contact each other anymore, coupled by the fact my com and hp's spoilt. That's worse. I somehow feel kinda irrelavant to a lot of things out there. It's just weird la. I hope all of us can still chat like good friends, but it's hard. Everyone has got their own lives to live.

Even my three very nice 'sisters' =D We can still chat and talk rubbish I hope, although it wasnt too long ago we did that =D And for someone who chu lian le! Hope everything goes out smoothly for you. Anything must update me! =D

To Jun Wei, thanks for going out to the concert with me! It's surprising how we can still be such good friends after being such a total idiotic, selfish bastard I was back in sec 2. Ha. But it's over, I'm just looking forward to a lot of things, amongst which includes the end of promos and PW. These are just short term goals.

And please, if I havent included ur name here, it's just that I feel there's somethings that words can tell. I'd rather keep it in my heart, even if one day, anything's forgotten.

You'll Never Walk Alone.

p.s. THX JING! LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT LETTER! =D

Solitude.

Everything seems so fast.. I can barely rmbr what I've done for the past few weeks.

Just a recount of a few things:

Yesterday's class was absolutely interesting. The class like went mad. Everyone was joking in every lesson. Yet somehow, everyone was focussed too. I like my class, the guys. The girls i cant really make any comment cause I've yet to really talk to them. Even if i do, the manner which they respond just makes me lose my appetite.

Not that the guys in class havent really put in enough effort. In fact, I think people like Jian Yao, Eugene and I, we're trying very hard to promote interaction between the class. But why cant everyone tell? It's just. Aiya.

Anyways, Chinese class was totaly rubbish. 2 hours of nonsense. Mr Gan was going through the 成語練習. the scenario was like this:

Mr Gan: 目空一切是什麽意思?
Class: 不知道!
Mr Gan: 目空一切就是很像很驕傲的人啊!我們這班有沒有?
Class: 宇淵!
Me: 我?!
Mr Gan: 是嗎?可是目空一切的人也是要有本事啊!看宇淵這樣的人,怎麽可能目空一切?
Me: ...

Chem Lesson:

(Jun kang throws rubbish, misses the bin)
Mr Goh: Jun Kang go and throw the paper!
Jun Kang: But it went in what!
Mr Goh: No, it didnt!
JK: HA! Parallax Error!

LOL. What the hell is going on??

Today my mum and I went to see Mr Gan for meet the parents session. Didn't get a scolding from my mum, she was very understanding in fact. =D Mr Gan was saying i'm a very 開朗,但開朗不代表隨便. But my mum disagreed. It was more like a crapping session in fact. But Mr Gan was saying he knows that I can do better. And he's worried. After I left the class MR Gan gave me a pat on my back. That made me felt a lot better. He said that it's no more life in jc now, and that I agree. really gotta start buckin' up. Means no more writing, no more hanging out. It's plain stupidity la actually. But to think that everyone is putting in so much effort, makes me feel i should abide by it. Lol. Had a little chat with aidan online. He's doing pretty much well now. And he's hoping to see me soon! i'm just glad not to be forgotten by some of my close friends. But till then, maybe a solitude will tell who they are.

In the meantime, since my hp's spoilt and so is my com, i dont have a choice. Hope everyone can help update me on ur numbers coz i've lose everyone's contacts!

THX!

To the you who's reading this line now,
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE.

Where we left.. And still at where we left.

S03 at sentosa.

Quite a few of us went.

Victoria, Polly, Dan Fong, Phoebe, Pong, Hazel, Shirley, Yoo, Sharon, Shawn, Lucas, Mark and myself! ha.

This was the class that had so much fun together. Or, maybe, just a few of us, as I realised not everything turned out the way it was supposed to be.

I don't really wanna go into the details, but I feel it's totally different now. Everything is different, people change. And that makes me ponder sometimes, is it worth my time?

Friends, especially good friends are hard to come by, maybe a few will be good enough. Friend treasurer? No matter how much, how great a friend you can be, people will never know unless they acknowledge such a fact.

So to people who feel that they do need to tell someone spccial something, don't be afraid, just let it out. People never know unless you allow them to know.

Three friends whom I don't really got to know, but I really do treat them as friends, good one. But the things that they do, makes me feel like.. We're still at where we left.. And maybe a foot further.

P.S. For the three of you who'll never know, thanks! =D

And so she went...

3 morning calls ensured I woke up on time XD Thanks patricia, yu chuan, jing nan! but jing nan called me at like 8.10. I was already on my way there but she had just left her house - JURONG! Omg?

I reached there at around 8.25. Second to arrive. Upon arrival someone tapped my shoulder from the back. YU CHUAN! With his big eye-blacks that was ever-so evident. Haha. Actually I was really tired too, but for this special friend, I had to sacrifice my sleep =/

Minutes later ruizhe joined us. But he was actually there earlier than any of us. 8, as I heard from yu chuan. By this time it was already 8.30, but she had just left her house not so long ago. Rui Zhe's stomache was rumbling, so we went to Mac to grab a bite. Yu Chuan was browsing through the photo album which I rushed to get it done last night. Some of the photo quality are quite bad, but there's nothing I could do! I think it's Wan Ting's camera that's the problem. Yup.

Anyways, I reserved one special card for Yu Chuan to write something for Jing Nan. Just a pity I should have reserved one for Rui Zhe too. He was, afterall, a part of her life.

Yu Chuan was fiddling around with my faulty phone, in attempt to try to rescue it. But to no avail. I should have it repaired asap I guess =X

9.15. Everyone started to panic. Her flight's at 10.50 and she should have been here a long time ago to check in. So we called like n times, but she didn't pick up. 9.25. Finally she called. And guess what. She had already checked in and having her breakfast.. At TERMINAL 1.

Lucky all of us are patient people. We didn't mind running that extra distance and going through all the trouble for her. Haha. She should thank us ok!

And so we went.

To terminal 1 of course. By the skytrain. It's been a long time since I've taken the skytrain actually, but it really is 15283125 times slower than the MRT! lol. But lucky for us not many people were taking the skytrain. I recall the other time taking the skytrain with so many people boarding! Took us so long to get through. Ha.

At terminal 1, we met up with JingNan at the departure hall. She with her 2 best-est buddies from her secondary school. And it was kinda funny, 'cause as yu chuan said, girls always take very very very VERY long to bid farewells. Haha. They had so much things to talk about that we didn't really converse with jing nan. We managed to get a glimpse of her mum though. She looked so young! I think 30 given her looks. Honestly.

THE BIG HUG.

Patricia kept reminding me to give her a big hug. We'll not see each other for another 3 years I guess? And by then I'll probably be in the army! Hmm. Hope things will go fine for her.

9:58 was the time written on the clock at the airport. It was time to go in. Her mum hurried her to check in while she was so reluctant to leave. Us too. So reluctant to let her go. We'll definitely miss you, jing. For the moments we all had together, all the jokes and laughter we shared, all the fun and problem-sharing time we had. This kind of friends don't come too often. Like how you helped me get past my state of slump after I broke up, I hope you'll remember how we helped each other out. Give yourself chances. There's more things outside of singapore. Much guys, more girls. HAHA! Ok, that's besides the point, but this chance will be a very good one for you to experience and learn things from the outside world. Whilst you continue to educate and upgrade yourself, forget us not.

You were really the best girl-friend I ever had.
And nothing much else words can say.
We'll all miss you.

And so she went...




(p.s. DAMN! Forget to take photos!)

Updated!

Been a few days since I've blogged. Yea i think i should update more regularly. But been kinda lazy lately. I rougly summarise what happened in the past couple of weeks or so.

Tuesday (12 June '07)
Went for ktv with some classmates!
Si Yi, Rachel, Li Feng, Yong Jie, Sze Jun, Alan Teo, Kelvin was there.
But none of the girls sang, except Si Yi at least knew a few songs. It was a very nice day to hang out with, just that I was shocked to see the prices at like $16 per person. Expected it to be around $11 lo. Ha. But one thing I learnt. The tidbits is free-flow! Next time should eat as much as we can since it's free! lol. But Yong Jjie warns that it's easy to get soar throat by eating those. We gave most of our share to the girls, who were responsible for helping us eat tidbits! haha. At least they didnt go for nothing ok! But kinda waste of money to just go there and sit. =X
Next time should get more people to go.


Friday (15 June '07)
Did some recording before going to Bugis to play (watch actually) people playing arcade. Someone completed the whole of the House of the Dead. Not like it's something to be excited about, but it's my first time witnessing that. Yewf explains the story behind the game. The story is kinda complicated with the story of the House of the Dead 4 followed up by the story in House of the Dead 3. Guess I shall just read up on it myself when I'm free.

*Btw, yewf was late and he made jia ming and I wait for an hour! His gf was supposed to come but didn't! Hmm. Wondering what he's up to anyway.

After that I walked him home from pasir ris mrt. Had 2 cans of jolly shandy each too. Lots of things to share! He did talk about somethings I never thought someone would say behind my back, and some lies I shoulda realise or exploited. Ha. But nvm. Let it be. To be fakin' it? I'd rather do that thing I do.

So we chit-chatted for hours at his house void deck. Ah. Cant remember about the frog incident. We heard croaking sounds echoing in the void deck. Being curious in nature, he and i decided to find out what that sound was. In the end the sound came from the recycling bin areas. After listening closely, and with a little of common sense, it must be a frog/ toad! Ah. It's just funny how a frog can land up being in the bin. How unfortunate!

So that day I reached my house at 2 instead of 10. I told my sis I'd reach home at 10, but it never was the case. By the time I came back, even my brother, who usually reaches home later than anyone else in the family, was home already. Lols. But it's been some long time since I've talked to him. Really miss ya dude. And come to think of it, I think I should go find Aaron, Yi He and Willis sometimes. Plus he added me on msn! Must show that he remembers me! How glad!


Saturday (16 June' 07)
Soccer! As usual. This time I woke up late, only for yx to be even later. In the end reached there at around 9.30 instead of 9. But who cares anyway? Everyone's always late. Lol. But this time the clouds were really all dark. Knew from the start it was gonna rain. So in the end we canceled the match. Gabriel and Mary Anne didnt come. Actually we expected it to rain heavily continuously. So we went for brunch. Then the rain stopped. How uncoincidental! But Chang Song suggested we continue playing soccer. So we played for a match or two before the rain set in again. This time for real. We hung out at the void deck near the netball court. Yx, hong shan, bryan were playing among themselves. Then louis, sam tang, thien soon, yong zhi and i were just fooling around and being childish. Playing in the rain with soccer and we came up with a stupid game which nobody obeyed the rule! haha. How childish can we get. Then discussed with sam tang about the outing with jun wei on the saturday on the first week after the common tests. Hope to see all of them soon! After that we had lunch before walking home from kw's house there. In the end kw still forgot to take his game from me. Lols.


Sunday (17 June '07)
It was father's day. But apparently nobody in the house celebrates it. And everyone knows why. It was a pretty plain sunday. The most unforgettable thing was that my dad actually mentioned about the day in front of us. Over the phone, asking his friend how he was celebrating it. I think he was hinting at us. But to no avail. So we kinda celebrated, but not really actually. We went to 8881 restaurant at loyang. Their food used to be good, not till they changed their chef and their boss. Now their service sucks too. Can u imagine. We waited for 1 hour for our food to be served. How horrible. So we stoned an hour of our lives away. Coulda done something more productive. And the food was expensive! I think everything in Singapore has inflated in price. Nobody anticipates July '07.


Monday (18 June '07)

3 outings squeezed in one day. ONE DAY.

Morning:
4V outing at sentosa. Zoe, Cadence, Michelle, Tricia, Mary Anne, Gabriel, Shawb, Benny and I turned up. A disappointing outing with so few people. Lols. Cheryl came late and Bao Chuan couldnt come cause she was grounded. So there was the few of us, nothing to do at sentosa. Except zoe, cadence, mary anne and I swam a bit. The rest didn't want to get wet. The guys were playing soccer. Then Mary Anne suggested we go watch movie at vivo city. But I couldn't. Had to leave early. Cheryl came and cadence left. So the number of people remained the same.

Went for lunch at kopitiam. Inflated prices again! But so long as it filled my tummy I didnt really mind though. Thought we could at least chit-chat a bit at the place, but it seemed like there wasn't any common topic among the girls and the guys. We're not that close afterall, I guess. =X Ah. And so they went to watch Fantastic Four while Benny kepy calling me not to pang seh them! haha. I couldn't. Promises are meant to be made, then realised. =D

Afternoon:
Mini OG27 outing.
TCC at raffles place. YC thought I didn't know the way there. But I always knew I had a fairly good sense of direction. Haha. Reached there at around 3 when they met at 1 or so. Yu Chuan organised this thing. Was meant to celebrate his birthday but I forgot his to bring his present!Have to bring it next time then. No choice. Initially I thought it was only gonna be Ryanna, Mandy, YC and I. But royston and bennedic were there too. Didn't know how to react in the most appropriate way 'cause it was my first time meeting benedic and I always felt awkward when being around with yc's friends. We're not close to them anyway. Had a cheesecake which we all shared. (I hope to get the pics uploaded here somehow) The cheesecake there is really nice! Highly recommended by me! Hah.

They all brought something to study and revise and me, empty0-handed. YC lent me his notes to study, but it just doesnt seem the same as mj's. Mj's notes are more comprehensive and easily understood. That's one thing I like about their notes.


Anyway, straight to the point, we discussed about Jing Nan's sending off at the airport. It's gonna be so emotional! I'll miss her as a very good friend of mine. Someone I didn't know, nor did I ever contemplate to being good friends with. But we did. Haha. Hope to continue writing so long as the friendship stands =D and yea. Mandy was telling me about making cards and notes for her. Let's see what we can do about it though. =D

Evening/ Night:
207 Outing
Seeing that time was running out, I left TCC at around 6. Made it to simpang within minutes. Reached tanah merah at around 6.30 and walked to the street soccer court. Reached at 7. By then the sky was getting darker every second, and it was hard to see the ball in the weak light intensity. But we had fun.


First match was a thriller. We trailed behind by a single silly goal that we never should have conceded. Then Sze Jun struck with 2 nicely-capped goals. The second from the tightest of angles which he slotted the ball in. 2-1 the game ended.

Next up, against a very physical side who used all means to ensure victory. Push, nudge, elbow, slidding tackles all over the court. IT WAS SCARY YES IT WAS. Everyone in the team were unhappy with the way the opponent reacted to our dominance. We did dominate, actually, put were out-muscled to their inferior physique. I was even elbowed in the face. Eugene grew impatient, and the team subsequently gave up on the game. We had to rush for the bbq anyway.

Just a match to remember. I thought I did quite well as a centre back. =D

BBQ at rachels' house. I didn't cook actually, it was much up to clarice, si yi and yong jie. si yi should have went to enjoy herself with the others. But she didn't. So nice of her! Ha. Everyone did take their turn to cook, but I didn't. Guess that was why I didn't get much to eat either. I was left starving even after the fire was ceased.

Had a game of mahjong which I just stood around to watch. Actually what's the fascination over mahjong about? A hobby to pass time with? haha. Actually it's a very intelligent game, but it can be very time-consuming actually. Play cards? Out for me. I was too bored. Swim? I couldn't, having been pulled into the water at sentosa, my extra set of clothes were all drenched. I didn't have any spare. So all I did was to gaze at the stairs at the playground. What a night. Twinkling stars and the feeling was.. so soothing, so peaceful, so serene, so graceful.

Yong Jie, Sze Jun and Jian Yao had a small little chat. I think Jian Yao over-reacted a bit. But it was a nice conversation we had. I think he just needed to chill down though.
After the whole thing ended, Rachel sent us off near simpang. Really nice of her and a great host to have! =D eugene actually thought he was headed to the correct direction and joined jian yao and I at the bus stop with the bus headed to Tanah Merah MRT. Minutes later Eugene had a change of heart and decided to join the rest in the opposite direction. So it was just.. Jian Yao and I. YEA. So what? We had a non-chalant conversation with an array of topics to talk about. Actually I think he and I share quite a lot of similarities! It's nice to always find a friend who shares similar personalities as yourself.

EMO!
2 people talked to me that day. Both emo-ing when they should feel happy. I shan't leak, but to you two, things arent as bad as they seem. Go for it. Somethings don't happen by themselves. You gotta make it happen. So work towards it yea!

An unforgettable Monday. One that'll I'll probably never have. Busy, yet so many things to ponder over. I like this feeling.


Tuesday (19 June '07)
端午節. Chinese's traditional event of the year. And cultural too. I came across a few tv shows discussing about the history behind it, and finally got an overview of the whole story. China does have a history, no doubt. And till today we're still celebrating. For years and centuries.

Went Grandma's house in the morning. Couldn't really be bothered to be involved in the various conversations going on at he dining table. With them around, it's always about academics. Why be so bird-brain. It really doesn't mean, nor does it represent anything. Life isn't just about studies, as 婷婷姐姐talked about. Not like you needed a cert to breathe =D

2nd Aunt fetched us back home. and after that I just fm-ed all the way till at night, when my dad actually asked me out to watch movie with him?! Belated father's day it seems, but it's still better than nothing. Ocean 13 is indeed a nice show with thrilling and tricky scenes. The characters in the show are too brave, confident and smart. Someone any girl would fall for. Lol. But it was a nice movie and I wouln't mind watching it all over again. I'd rather view back the previous shows of ocean. They should be as nice, or even nicer than ocean 13. I simply like these kinda plots and stories. Hope to read or watch such stories next time.

Anyway, time is ticking away and it's only a matter of days before the exams start.. I'd better start studying just in case.

存在!

《存在》
強辯樂團

我會存在這個空間
是我知道你下一秒會出現
穿梭在人群之間
你的身影永遠忽隱又忽現

是不是我無力去挽回
是不是你忘了我的美
是不是我存在你覺得可憐

到不到底問題沒有解決
到不到底希望不在身邊
到不到底我存在是錯是對

存在你的世界
是否需要另一種語言
我永遠不懂你的想法
你所需要的那種心願

是不是你
是不是你
到不到底到不到底
是错是对...?

Shrek 3

Went to watch Shrek 3 today. Hazel organized the whole thing. Actually it kinda shocked me 'cause she mentioned so many names but, as it turned out, only the 6 of us went. Seng Yang, Mark, Hazel, Shirley, Abigail and I. Wanted to ask Zhen Ying, but apparently Hazel didn't ask. So forgetful of ya! And so, that is so much that has remained from the PAE class.

First off, to watch movie. And I was the latest. Oops. Eh I didn't know ok. Didn't know I'd oversleep. Supposed to meet at 2.45 and watch the 3.10 show. In the end I reached at 3.10 =X But yea, we still managed to get the 3.10 tickets which we still managed to watch from the beginning of the show.

The show was nice, with several comical parts and sometimes lame too. Many of which were anti-climax. That's what makes it nice isn't it. The plot wasn't exactly sensible, but all in all a great family show, contrary to what samuel tang said about all the shrek series. Haha. Maybe he's too mature for such shows.

After the show we went to eat at nydc. So expensive! Fancy the 6 of us sharing 3 personal pan pizzas. Craze? Maybe bah. $10 was all that I had left and I spent it all on.. PIZZAS!? I cannot be crazier than that though. Ha.




6 of us at NYDC. Watch Abigail's hand.


Following that, we were a lil more budget. Went HMV. View the latest hits, cds, albums. Shrek 3's soundtracks are nice too I'd say. Listened to the whole CD there. Ha. Then we watched Spiderman 2 which was being displayed there. Spent a reasonable amount of time there I think.

Walk walk for a while along orchard road. Sat down, chit chatted and attempted to rap 中國話. My braces is clearly in my way when I rap! Nvm la. Next week when go kbox can try again. In the meantime I'll try to memorize the lyrics.

Great to see y'all again. Let's hope we get more people to go for the outing next time. Thanks for organizing the outing though hazel!
Lookin' forward to the next time we see each other.

And you'll never walk alone.

《離開地球表面》!

五月天演唱會!

超難得的機會!多虧我表哥拿得到票,而且又是我們全家剛好,還包括我哥女友。(謝謝Ah Hong!) 原本還有多一張能邀Cheryl一起來看,因爲聼她說一直都很期待這場演唱會,特地留下一張票給她。但是打給她,又一直不接,結果就把票讓給Dao Zhe。雖然好像沒什麽聽説他是五月天的迷,但難得有機會能跟朋友一起見個面,我還是想算了吧,把票讓給他朋友好了.


演唱會8點開始,就好歹Cheryl在6.30終于回電。但已經太遲了;票已經讓給Dao Zhe了!可笑的是,她就一直盧我,叫我想辦法讓她去看。我就一直試説服我哥,但真得讓他很難做人。票都已經説好給別人了,那可以說要回就要回勒?君子一言,肆馬難追!真的是有夠令人不知所措。


最後,票始終沒取回,但我們卻想到一個很妙的辦法哦!哎呀還不是我的頭腦靈活,靈機一動,怎麽可能有辦法入場勒?還不謝謝我!哈哈!


一入場,看,哇靠!座位都滿滿的,雖然沒到爆滿的程度,但又就夠啦!人太多又會被擠得像沙丁魚,哪會過癮?


演唱會一開始,就先撥已先準備錄好的一支錄影片,内容其實我不太了解,因爲一直都在跟Cheryl聊天,根本就沒再專心欣賞。但後來他們五人上臺開始表演時,全場歡呼,氣氛馬上開始HIGH了起來!=D


五月天就這樣連續表演15,16首歌,完完全全沒休息到。

(但阿信一直忘詞,嗯奇怪,他怎麽沒唱‘忘詞’呢?)


到了半場休息時,他們才終于和粉絲聊起來,其中瑪莎第一句:'竟然在新加坡,那就用新加坡方式和大家說晚上好:“Good nai eberybodeee, two-nai berii spesho!”'

嗯嗯果然有新加坡人的口腔!


後來冠佑說了些感性的話,但阿信卻打消這氣氛:

冠佑:‘新加坡總是給我留下一個美好的影響。每次來到新加坡,就會想起新加坡的..’

阿信:‘海南雞飯..’


輪到阿信時,他卻沒說什麽,簡單的一句:

‘今晚讓我們踩破地盤,離開地球表面,離自己跟近!’


那句開始,相信沒有一個人不HIGH。全場轟轟烈烈的,真的很棒,很棒。


不想敍述的太多,只能說,這5個人的團體,是我從小時候就很崇拜的樂團,直到現在也依然不變。《為愛而生》這張專輯真的很讚,喜歡聼的人請秀出你的支持,買他們的專輯。我小時的偶像團體,你們的團結心真的令我很佩服,令我很羡慕,有時很嫉妒。


無論怎樣,五月天在我生命中改變了我對一些事情的看法。然而,我總覺得自己離那遙遠的天邊越來越遠,好像總是被地球的地吸引力困擾,幾年了,我還是原地踏步。這是我又翻一翻我以前的專機來聼。《我》就形容我現在的心情。或許吧。


不過現在的我還是照樣在一旁默默的支持你們,默默地向你們看起...


穿越空間,離開地球表面。

今晚,你們做到了。

團結的力量,真的無法測量。

Finally! (1 June)

Finally. It was the day everyone was waiting for. After a long Long LOng LONg LONG term, and hell it was a tiring one, everyone finally can take a good rest. And we could celebrate ryanna's birthday! Yet, it wasn't to be the happiest. Jing Nan will be leaving for good, soon. But nice pen pal to have. She even gave us the kangaroo that I asked for! Haha. (but no crocs)


Ok, let me recall everything in sequence...

Morning:
We were supposed to meet at 10.30 at orchard, in the end everyone was late, and we met up at 11.10! Nvm about wasting the singing time though, 'cause the early bird package is from 11 to 2. Though we extended the time to 3. Had a great time! Woot. Except that today was rather cold. Er. Like. I don't know. Mandy and Jing Nan didn't sing! At least Ji Soo, who usually doesn't go for KTV sessions, sang the songs that she could sing! Haha. Ah. And the song 'Oh Mandy' was quite unexpected. Didn't know such a song existed! Hah.




The girls. Jing Nan looked lethargic though.


YC back at his best, and most enthusiastic.



Just some random picture that only ryanna noticed..



.. But not this time!



Buddies!

OMG! Ji Soo acting cute =D


CHEESE!




The final piece of jigsaw


Then the giving out of presents for ryanna's birthday. Quite unformal actually. No cakes, no birthday songs, just giving out the presents. What kind of organizer is the organizer anyway! Hah. I had previously asked Mandy what to get for Ryanna. She said 'anything will do', so I went to find anything, which I couldn't, so instead I got whatever. Hah. Imagined if i had only given her that. But nah. I gave her dolphins! My favourite creatures! They're friendly right!


Afternoon:
So, it was kbox till 3, and kumar and pat came to join us for lunch. We had lunch at some Japanese underground restaurant. The food did look tempting, so was the price! 0.o Sorry guys, I didn't eat not to remind y'all to pay up, but I really didn't want to spend so much =S Anyways after that Ryanna and Mandy went to Vivo City to get some things, which kept all of us in suspense. Hmmm..
But after that kumar suggested we go play pool. Actually I had no complaints, but he kept reminding us to just play if not waste money. I can understand, but it's just a game right. Why be so serious. Lols.

Thumbs Up!
Jing Nan and Pat and their distorted faces =D
Smiley Photo!

After pool we went to take neoprints! Quite random. But those pictures were nice! Plus Ji Soo is like super pro at it. She knows how to decorate and personalize everything! So cool lor! Jing Nan, please remember to scan and print out the pictures for us! I want a copy of it too! =D

Ha. Yep. That was about it. Everyone went home after that. Ryanna, Mandy, Yu Chuan and I went to have dinner. Pat came to join us later cause she was waiting for her dad to fetch her.

But all in all, it was a nice outing and it was great to see everyone again! Let's hope we'll have more of such outings next time, although Jing Nan won't be with us again =X Anyways, all the best to you jing nan, and to Ryanna, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you enjoyed yourself. Really. =D
