Didn't eat much actually - spent most of the time listening to the band concert. Happy to see sing wei! Havent seen him in ages! =D After that my mum came to fetch me, and we had dessert at the bedok corner. Ching Tng was sold out, so we had soya milk instead lol.

4th Dec (THURSDAY):
The big thing. Prom Night. I was late for the meet up at sj's house actually. Supposed to meet at 6, but in the end i reached at 6.15 instead. Everybody else was there already. Alab had his friend to help him do his hair. And we set off for city hall in sj's mum's car at around 6.50. Reached there at around 7.40 coz of the traffic jam in city area. But thanks to szejun and his mum coz going into city area costs like 4dollar (ERP), not even counting the fuel cost. Had a real great night, although i must say the food was omg. not really to the standard i had expected. But it was the other things that made the night. Taking pictures with my gang, the class, with yifeng, sam tang and the rest. I'll post the pictures when I have the time =D (*THE GRADUATION BEAR WAS SO CUTE!)
5th Dec (FRIDAY):
Supposed to go kbox, but ts said it was real expensive ($35 for friday session), so we went movie instead. Dian zhuang, kai wu, thien soon, louis, kuan wei, yu xiang, mary anne, jonathan were there. Watched Bolt, omg real funny man. And the plot was quite nice. On how bolt managed to face, accept, and survive the harsh realities of life with the help of some comical friends he had. Yahoo movie listings gave a 4 star!
Oh wait, did i mention what happened after the movie, after mary anne and jonathan left? We had a real good time playing with kai wu haha! He was so shy he didn't want to talk to his beloved certain someone.. haha. We sang loads of saddening love songs for kai wu as we walked back to white sands.

I am..
I am..
Distraught
Untaught
Unthought
I've fought, a lot
I've been.. A have-not
I've bought..
What I've sought
But if I was Bolt
I'd travel in time to see humans rot
If constellations weren't stars but just dots
If people weren't as selfish as you thought
If life wasn't as hard as you thought
If these nights weren't easy as you thought
If only.. You know what it feels like to be distraught.
If these lines make no sense to you
You'd probably think you've got no clue
But it's alright if i've got you blue
Tellin' true-s or down with flu
Yes i am skeptical, i am cynical
I am tangible, my chest's an example
If the treasure dots weren't so simple
More than what you deem as particles
But I guess in life anything is possible
If you realise it's cyclical
That's why we call it seasonal
But I hate times in the chapel
Maybe coz' they aren't conceivable
I've got my own attitude mental
I just hope they could just leave me
Want to be freed, I'll burn them money
And maybe leave them with a couple of pennies
Not that i ain't got sincerity
To offer them sanity
Mention thy vanity
You're sure to embrace me
And with a pen, trace me.
Sure it doesn't make no sense I'm just chillin' on the pressure on me.

When it all amounts to nothing..
How fragile life is.. haha.
"IF I AIN'T GOT YOU"
-Alicia Keys
[Verse 1]
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial
[Chorus:]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, Yeah
[Verse 2]
Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love him
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share
With no one who truly cares for me
[Chorus:]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you
[Chorus]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah
[Outro:]
If I ain't got you with me baby
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

730.5 days of internal torment
Two years have passed with this much tests
It hasn't been the best, this I confess..
I can feel the pressure on my shoulder, for sure
If you want me on the same level, on par with my peer
Life is stressful inside this cesspool we call school
But as you imagined it's over without a clue
And it's true I missed SA, but they all say
They all play the same lame game, leavin' you dismay
They all say you couldn't mug-less for success
But the people before me haven't passed a single test
It doesn't matter if I leave here with a scarce-
city of stress, honestly learning here has been a mess
Even today I'm not sure the treasure in my chest
Because all I learn is to shade the ovals in my test
Yes, exams, stress, school, hypocrites is what I detest
If I were to rename them all I'll call them pests
And unless I see God make the sun rise from the West
I think you guys' have it all, because you're blessed..

Think About It..
Not exactly perfect but I got it done within 20 mins.. So I consider that some achievement? although the hook looks longer than the verses =X Actually I dun really know how I wrote it but I was just trying to picture a movie.. ha. hope it's not too bad!
Beat site: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=537232
"THINK ABOUT IT"
[Hook]
Give you some time.. For you to think about it..
Give you some time.. You better think about it..
Give you some time.. For you to think about it..
Give you some time.. You better think about it..
Give you some time~
[Verse 1]
Just think about why love never turned out the way it's meant to be
The way that we perfected it, the way we imagined it in our mentality
We used to be so close that we couldn't separate, but now it's too late
Maybe it's fate, that we got too close, and now I see love turn to hate
It's entirely okay, okay to say, you were like the shining ray
Shinin' through the eclipse-d days, through walls of opaque clay
Parallel or non parallel, I never knew love could fall on me, fell
Never realised my love was the thin line between heaven and hell
But if I can..
[Hook]
Give you some time.. For you to think about it..
Give you some time.. You better think about it..
Give you some time.. For you to think about it..
Give you some time.. You better think about it..
Give you some time~
[Verse 2]
You said love was the purpose in life, if that's the case I have none
Coz you're all that I've got in life, the stormy days haven't been fun
And the truth is life after you hasn't changed much, I still miss you
I guess I should think about what I said, maybe I shouldn't have dissed you
But it doesn't matter anymore does it, since you're gone with my pearl
Never will I feel the same towards girls, not again in this world
Coz if it isn't for you, I'll never fall in love ever again
And you will, and can never feel my pain standing in the rain
[Hook]
Give you some time.. For you to think about it..
Give you some time.. You better think about it..
Give you some time.. For you to think about it..
Give you some time.. You better think about it..
Give you some time..
To save my world..

Please Don't Cry
I haven't really got any tune in my head, but it's just a random piece.
Shall edit it further coz it's not perfect.. Loads of room for improvement I know.. Oh well!

You're my baby.. Please don't cry..
[Verse]
I don't know the reason you're cryin, but it makes me sad
So tell me the reason why, it makes me mad if he's bad
There's no need to suffer in silence and pretend you're dead
There's so much to life than
Coz..
[Hook]
If you're the area, I'm the radii
Then you're the sphere, I'm like your pi
If you're in fear, I will stand by (forever)
Coz you're my dear - please don't cry
[Verse 3]
The truth is that I love you like I love my sister (more than anything else)
You're like my sister, but you never know what spells
We're a line before lovers, I've never felt anything like this
Never deny a man of his will, because that's all I wanna do
To protect you from bodily ills with this pair of bare arms
So ring me an alarm
I'll be there for you.. So promise me that you'll never shed another tear for him..
[Outro]
Please.. Don't Cry.
Verse: Cadd9, ...
Hook: Dm, A#, F, C
Shall edit it further coz it's not perfect.. Loads of room for improvement I know.. Oh well!

Upon A Star..
Stories of every famous people makes my heart ache
As I ponder and wonder when it'll be my break
Coz every night I go back to the same god damn bed
Wishin' upon stars on my head, wishin' to get paid
To take back what I said, wishin' for a mate
Wishin' for memories to fade, wishin' for destiny, fate
Yes I yearn for grades, like my parents earn their reds, but wait
The system wants to educate; it rates, degrades, discriminates
The poor, the dumb, the dumber, the fat and the fattest
Leavin behind those the slowest, exalt he who comes first
I was talkin' about life with people I could trust
About the kind of wife I would get, examples I contrast
Results of a sample I don't trust, if they come out fast
But to you it dun matter, you wonder 'what's the fuss'
Gettin' things done not in days, but in minutes
Wait a minute there's nothin' new to it, let's be true to it
......

Rusteze
I've got this sudden urge in me to showcase my flexibility
With a little bit of vodka enough to ignite my ability, liability
There ain't no better person to understand me than myself
So there ain't no better reason to rid innocence of yours at twelve
I feel the society's pushin' me, him, her, students, teachers
Hopin' to get us back on world map, with a price tag leisure
To improve material standards, but where's the moral standards?
As I see cultures erode, histories untold, stories unfold
I can't but imagine life without freedom, I can do without peace
Coz you see a society without social fabric gives me unease
But havin' a poor balance of both is like a stress ball squeezed
Like a kid comin' thru the ranks havin' been quized
Bein' laden with irrelevant information that creates retaliation
Obessesion with work, workaholic, a brand new robo-sensation
But this is life man, I'm a human not a fuckin' programmed robot
Like the rest are, whether they're oblivion to it or not.
I need some rusteze.. Quick.

Slow down..!
It just feels like everyday flies past so fast, and I'm like ageing so fast too. I guess nobody can ever say when they are too young or old enough.
The Earth still rotates on its axis with an orbital period of 24hours, yet with this result-oriented world, the time frame seems to shrink as each day drags closer to whatever we anticipate - or not.
Please. Somebody freeze this time and let me take a look of whatever happened in my life, albeit it's been a 'short' 18 years. I'm seeing a friend who felt the same way I did 2 years ago, but now that time's past, I do think nothing's worth remembering after all. Everything seems meaningless. Ha.
If only the world could all come to a conclusion together to slow the pace of life down.
Everybody's getting richer faster, but not necessarily happier.

孫仔
How much a blind man's dialect songs can be so influential..
Yet someone who was once so close to me gave up so easily..
It's really a difference like that of heaven and hell.
I don't really know how to speak my own dialect (which I'm quite ashamed of, haha). I keep telling myself I've gotta learn how to master my dialect properly, and that how, someone who doesn't know how to speak cannot exactly call himself a taiwanese.. But then again, I keep wasting my holidays, but I hope after A levels it would be all so different.
And how, words, painted from the hands of a blind man, can touch the hearts of many.

伊定定跟阮說 叫阮著要好好仔讀冊
嘸通大漢像恁老爸仔這麼狼狽

阿嬤 你到底是在講什麼
大漢了後 才知影阿嬤的話
我會甲永遠永遠放塊心肝底

Words
Just feelin' a lil random.. Like sometimes after reading something that actually makes much sense do I reflect about somethings.. And how much we owe to culture for creating communication media so that we understand each other better.
And how much, for the sake of 'the future', we forgo our roots, our roots, our culture, our heritage, our history, hoping for economic progress.
On paper, we have progressed as one world.
But how much have we progressed spiritually?
Not all things can be measured and recorded. We may be able to take pictures as evidence and proof of our treasured memories, but no matter what kind of golden chest we put them into, they can never become alive again.. Technology, through one magical device we call camera, allows us to take down memories of that split second... But as much as we'd like to relive it in the future, it is a nothing more than a mere (not merily as junkang pronounced, ha) replicate.
If only my voice reaches out somewhere, perhaps we will forever be living on borrowed past. Trying to encourage preservation of culture, but here we are allowing globalisation and homogenisation to devour our roots. There's so many examples by simply observing the things around us. If one doesn't think the way I am, I'd like to think he's probably numb all the things around him that he's grown, day by day, to succumb and become oblivion to them. We don't know who we are anymore.
We are, indeed, a lost generation.
I'd like to end of with quotes of words, because I do think words have evolved tremendously due to culture enrichment. We may embrace another language, but it is equally important to remember our own and accept them for who we are. As descendants of the original language users through so many generations, I think it's only right we preserve it.

Thanks everybody.
I woke up feelin' like it was just another day.
6.00am. Woke up just to wake up patricia for her first day of the school term. Gosh i didn't expect myself to really wake up on time so early! HAHA. Anyways she was the first to wish me a happy birthday (10pm the night before) actually. But that's coz of the time difference between melbourne and singapore. So she was 2hours early. But it doesn't really matter. It's the sincerity that counts. =D Just wanna thank pat for being a really good friend all these while. And reading your post on her blog really touched me =D I hope, as much as you do, that we can maintain this long distance friendship for a long, long, long time to come. Thanks patricia! =D
(i'll post those pictures as soon as I've got the complete set)
Zhiling and Yuxiang were the other two who messaged me at the stroke of 12am (singapore time). Zhi Ling, i suppose, got to know about my birthday through cheryl i guess. Sometimes I do feel her indifference to me, but oh well, just wanna thank her for her birthday wish. As for yuxiang, I guess there's really too much to talk about, we've shared so many things, yet there always seems to be so many things we can share and talk about, for we have become such good friends through a very uncommon way. Never in the same class, but we somehow got to know each other through our daily dose of soccer back in those sec 2, 3 days. And besides my family, he's a person I'm fully indebted to. Without you, I doubt I would have been who I am today. Let's keep our friendship long-lasting, and if there really comes a day we'll have to make sacrifices to achieve our dreams, I'm sure willing to risk it with ya. Life without a dream, and the pursue of it, is completely meaningless. Thanks for going the distance with me.
On the way to school, chufeng smsed and wished me happy birthday as well. I really havent hung out with chufeng in singapore all these while, but she's a nice fellow taiwanese friend of mine, and I do enjoy your company especially when I go back taiwan (i don't have any other friends in taiwan, and not that you're just someone to keep me company) i really hope we can keep in touch once in a while. Of course we'll be able to go out together more often after a levels and back in taiwan - i won't be going back taiwan as often because of my ns commitments from next year onwards. Thanks for your friendship. =D As for eunice who texted me after that, and although i must admit i dun really know you, thanks for the birthday wish.
Thanks to gabriel for your birthday wish too, though it sounded rather sloppy. haha. nvm i still appreciate that.
Immediately after morning assembly YiFeng came up to me and gave me a hershey's chocolate bar. But eh! It wasn't even chilled. So it was all melted. Haha. But for a guy to give another guy chocolate for his bday.. hmm.. a little suggestive i suppose? haha. but he's a nice guy and another jason mraz fan! We could go watch jason mraz's concerts next time, i know this time singfest seems impossible for us, financially and given the situation we're in - stress! But I shall remember to give u back smth in return for your birthday. 13 sept 13 sept!
During recess, zhiling messaged me to walk towards her class table. There cheryl tan passed me a box of gifts. Didn't even give me a clue! Except that it was fragile. That was just the beginning! I was so nervous when I walked towards her class coz this girl was there! And perhaps I was wrong, but I hope I heard correctly, that yuling said she wished me happy birthday! woot. Finally she recognised me existence. After like 5 months? Since valentines day. haha. Woot! After that I was so happy through out the day I couldn't calm myself down in the chem lecture after that =D Oh yea here's pictures of Cheryl's gift:
[A nicely wrapped blue box]
[Surprise! Two nicely decorated mugs and a nicely done card =D]
THANKS CHERYL! I shall try to become a good guy whenever I can in order to save this sheep from the horrid wolf (junkang). haha. A nice person, although I'm always the victim of her vicious, provoking language that somehow always is on the thin fine line that distinguishes joking and genuine provocation. Haha! A nice, fun loving person to be with. Ok when you and zhiling's bday's nearing then I'll treat you all to the chocolate fondue. PROMISE!
Thanks to my biological older brother, whom I just refer to as da_ge. ha. U may have missed my last birthday i'm gonna have with my braces on, and that sometimes whatever you say really pisses me off, I guess as I grow and mature, I have learnt to overlook some of them sometimes. We're a family after all. A simple message was enough - since you want to treat us to lunch this saturday! HAHA =D
Thanks to BaoChuan, perhaps the only person whom I really talk to most from class 4v. Seriously. And to think I didn't really talk to the girls in class. A lively person, and someone who always brings up fresh conversation topics! Thank you, and whilst I'm gonna be realy busy these few months, rest assure we're gonna have our steamboat once my nightmare's over! Your simple message was enough to showcase your sincerity =D
Oh and then i think JunWei suddenly remembered it was my bday. haha. Last night when he called I thought he was gonna wish me happy bday. then it turned out it was a discussion for tuesday's dinner -.- haha. But nvm that, you're one of the closer few I know from 2/3. Secondary school days may have seem so distant and irrelevant from our current lives, but thanks for accompanying me to go ns check-up, to go for the fir concert that's coming up, for organising things as and when. A conservative person, though I very much like his cool personality a lot. Thanks junwei for the birthday sms wish =D
After school Hannah, my air rifle junior, smsed me to greet me. Perhaps I cant really relate to a lot of juniors these days, but yea you're a friendly person who tries to keep friends close, especially with people like ZhiWei and myself. A rather eccentric person though =/ But thanks for your greetings =D I hope you're doing fine in tpjc.
Jing Nan, my penpal who just came back from Canada (she's having summer break now, waiting to enter uni), suggested we meet at white sands. Actually I really didn't think much about what they were gonna do, but I was so so SO delighted to see her again! Along with Wan Ting of course. We met at pasir ris mrt, although they had initially wanted me to meet them at macdonalds. I was so happy when i saw her, then she gave that dao face! and both of them acted really weirdly. They asked me to go all the way to mac 2nd floor and then they just rushed off - and came back with one mini bens and jerry ice cream cake! haha. So grateful! We had fun taking loads of pictures, i'll upload some here when jing sends me them =D
[Pictures of Jing, Wanting, myself]
The three of us did talk about quite a bit of things till I receive a very, VERY unexpected call. Overseas call. When i answered to hear a super strong caucasian accent, I knew who it was. Almost spontaneously, immediately, sporadically, instantly. it was AIDAN!!!! A new zealander friend I've not talked to for a long long LONG time. And you know what, after 2 minutes of talking, my hp battery died on me! I panicked so much I hurriedly switched to wanting's phone hoping aidan would try calling me again. And oh my god he didn't give up trying to reach me. He called back, and we had some 30,40 mins of talk time. Got to know him and his recent life better, details I shall not say, coz we simply shared so much things during that short 30mins I'm having difficulty trying to recall all the things we talked about, not to mention in sequence. haha. After I got home I hurriedly emailed him (as I post this latest blog post), and gosh, i'm still feeling the after-effects of excitedness! =D i hope he's all well and pursuing his dreams! =D
Oh yea, not forgettin' to thank Lilian, Rahul and Farah (i'm not sure who this is) who left comments at my friendster.
Of course, thanks to my family for really going to buy Swensen's Ice Cream cake for my birthday. I know it's kinda a waste of money to really be spending so much on my birthday, that's why all the more i appreciate what they've done for me. I even got the same mug as my sister (she wanted me to have the same mug with another print) so we can have a family of mugs for personal use I guess. Drink more water! haha. it's good for you.
Other special thanks:
Hazel, Shirley, Li Yun for the cap and dry-fit shirt for my birthday present (8 july tues).
YongJie, Szejun, Alab for the company at k-box (12 july sat) and treating me! Thanks for so much for providing the only happy things I have during these 2 fucked up life of mine in mjc.
Hmm.. did i leave out anyone?
6.00am. Woke up just to wake up patricia for her first day of the school term. Gosh i didn't expect myself to really wake up on time so early! HAHA.

Last night when he called I thought he was gonna wish me happy bday. then it turned out it was a discussion for tuesday's dinner -.- haha. But nvm that, you're one of the closer few I know from 2/3. Secondary school days may have seem so distant and irrelevant from our current lives, but thanks for accompanying me to go ns check-up, to go for the fir concert that's coming up, for organising things as and when. A conservative person, though I very much like his cool personality a lot. Thanks junwei for the birthday sms wish =D
After school Hannah, my air rifle junior, smsed me to greet me. Perhaps I cant really relate to a lot of juniors these days, but yea you're a friendly person who tries to keep friends close, especially with people like ZhiWei and myself. A rather eccentric person though =/ But thanks for your greetings =D I hope you're doing fine in tpjc.
Jing Nan, my penpal who just came back from Canada (she's having summer break now, waiting to enter uni), suggested we meet at white sands. Actually I really didn't think much about what they were gonna do, but I was so so SO delighted to see her again! Along with Wan Ting of course. We met at pasir ris mrt, although they had initially wanted me to meet them at macdonalds. I was so happy when i saw her, then she gave that dao face! and both of them acted really weirdly. They asked me to go all the way to mac 2nd floor and then they just rushed off - and came back with one mini bens and jerry ice cream cake! haha. So grateful! We had fun taking loads of pictures, i'll upload some here when jing sends me them =D
[Pictures of Jing, Wanting, myself]
The three of us did talk about quite a bit of things till I receive a very, VERY unexpected call. Overseas call. When i answered to hear a super strong caucasian accent, I knew who it was. Almost spontaneously, immediately, sporadically, instantly. it was AIDAN!!!! A new zealander friend I've not talked to for a long long LONG time. And you know what, after 2 minutes of talking, my hp battery died on me! I panicked so much I hurriedly switched to wanting's phone hoping aidan would try calling me again. And oh my god he didn't give up trying to reach me. He called back, and we had some 30,40 mins of talk time. Got to know him and his recent life better, details I shall not say, coz we simply shared so much things during that short 30mins I'm having difficulty trying to recall all the things we talked about, not to mention in sequence. haha. After I got home I hurriedly emailed him (as I post this latest blog post), and gosh, i'm still feeling the after-effects of excitedness! =D i hope he's all well and pursuing his dreams! =D
Oh yea, not forgettin' to thank Lilian, Rahul and Farah (i'm not sure who this is) who left comments at my friendster.
Of course, thanks to my family for really going to buy Swensen's Ice Cream cake for my birthday. I know it's kinda a waste of money to really be spending so much on my birthday, that's why all the more i appreciate what they've done for me. I even got the same mug as my sister (she wanted me to have the same mug with another print) so we can have a family of mugs for personal use I guess. Drink more water! haha. it's good for you.
Also, thanks to my aunt who called me from taiwan to wish me happy birthday! my little cousin, ie. my aunt's son, shares the same birthday! Actually was supposed to call her back at night, but after my dad called to wish me happy birthday, i totally forgot to call her back! =X
I guess family forms a real big important part of everyone's lives.. without a family is like a tree without leaves.. without roots too. Thank you to my family for being who they are. =D
Other special thanks:
Hazel, Shirley, Li Yun for the cap and dry-fit shirt for my birthday present (8 july tues).
YongJie, Szejun, Alab for the company at k-box (12 july sat) and treating me! Thanks for so much for providing the only happy things I have during these 2 fucked up life of mine in mjc.
Hmm.. did i leave out anyone?

Thanks Yongjie, Alab, Szejun for making it a really enjoyable time of my life! Pity I had to leave early after pool to send patricia off. Sorry guys! Hope you guys understand that I really had to go =/ And thanks for the treat. Never thought you guys were gonna treat me! =D Nothing else words can say, but a really BIG THANK YOU to you guys! =D Especially yongjie who made a great effort in organising the stuff =D

So fast.
It's not often that I go out on late sunday nights. Not anymore since being in mj. But 7th July 2008 was different. The following day, a monday, was youth day, my last in fact, so there was a day off. A great timing to have a break after a hectic 2 weeks of school. Ha.
After tuition which ended at 11, I raced off to the usual netball court to find the rest of the guys, only to realise half-way I had left my shoes at tuition centre. Hey it's not that I carry another bag to tuition very frequently! So it just slipped my mind I was carrying another bag. Hai. So there it was, missed another morning of soccer session with the rest of the guys.
Walking home alone without tired feet was weird for me. So without the work out I guess that gave me the chance to have enough time to catch on some lost sleep in the afternoon. Slept from 2 to 5, before the call from Mum woke me up - time to meet Patricia!
Actually I had thought kumar was going to join us, but nevermind I still met patricia at 6.30 at city hall. Had planned before hand to grab some bite before going to singapore flyer.
She reached city hall first, I was slightly late by 10 mins (went to change aussie currency before taking the mrt) =X Then I couldn't find her although she said she was going shoe-hunting LOL! Turned out she had walked up the escalators at the middle while I walked all the way to the escalators to marina square via city link. There was a great distance between the two linkways -.- Walked all the way back to find her since she said she was 'missing'. Haha. She was 'shocked' when I appeared out of nowhere - she was noticing the figures at the far end when I was just in front of her HAHA.
She passed to me 2 GIGANTIC bottles (500g) of PIAF skin lotion that my mum wanted, along with a jar of AUSTRALIAN sweets which was really very nice! The jar was attractive as well, and the words 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' was so apt coz my bday's just around the corner =D
[PICTURES OF WHAT SHE GOT ME]
So as we walked thru citylink she was trying to show me how to solve rubik's cube. She's really mastered it well, being able to solve a jumbled rubik's cube within several minutes. And she's taught me how to solve it! At least the first 2 layers =D
We went to some kopitiam near singapore flyer coz she said she missed asian food, so we had satay =/ and after that off we went to singapore flyer!
I think it's her first time there, so we got to do a lot of things. Here's some pictures we took! And we actually made a bear in eeyore costume at the make-a-bear shop..!
(Pictures not in order of time taken)
(Tries to look away from the camera.. and succeeded!)

Birth of a Religion..
Sometimes life isn't the way you like it, but accept it...
Equality, the product of conformity and brain-washing twiks
Since the laws of physics were written like wounds twice bitten
We attempt, picture, procreate, envisage with pens to our page as we ink'em
Over-writting every progress we make, defying all potential barriers
We grow to realise we, alone as personality individuality warriors
Carry on life with boulders on shoulders, on a roller-coaster adventure
And as we grow older, passion's lost, indifference sets in and we get colder
Practisin' solitudes of various magnitudes, cross multiply the perception angles
Ignorin' the opinions and the facts, in our faith in a religion struggle
That we call the truth, like fuck we know it without surveilance proof
When people got merry together under the same one-of-a-kind roof
And the next moment the roots creep onto us, in the name of 'evil', we pencil
The cents, dollars, notes, cash, cheque, debits, credits, for the greed this hassle
So much for the faith in our core values of the Cancer, I guess this is the answer
Till you know who's holdin' the knife at the back of your neck, it's pretty much a blur..
Like how I used to envy the natives back in my hood, I was young and rude
Pretendin' to personify personnels I thought were cool, but I guess I was hated like 'Ruud'
And so I hungered for the multi-tongue, sting and stung words with accents of their roots
It never occurred to me all this was an illusion, hallucination, just an immitation, a fluke
In the year of the horse, the coarses calmed, a war without corpses, bullets, bombs
Minus the tension, rivalry, suspicion, controversy, as freedom was freed from the wrong
That was the strife of life - like a choice between black and white, between wrong and right
It was, awkwardly, the irony between security and the desire to live happily, we might
Still abide, until the day, today, if you know what I'm sayin', laws of proportionality
So often we've encountered them in lines that undergo gradient contortionality
But the fact is, these were never real, nothin but ideas we construct and assume
And then stick into our books with pricetags on the back of each cover we consume
I guess what I'm sayin' is there's no need to take things so serious, but hillarious
These foundations we build upon could just bring us down with flaws, precarious
Never put your reliance on another is what I'm puttin it in another spectrum
Like how I'd never think of puttin' your whole trust, truly or virtually, is my theorem..
o.s. like how religions empowered man to revolt and revolutionise, and how these (the latter) were the results of war and such, I guess belief is what keeps life goin'..
And so I developed a new religion..
With mistrust at its core, with hostility as its own philosophy.

If I even meant.
Hahahahaha...
Back when we were still young kids
You used to treat us well, yes you did
Travelling together in the coolest fashion
Your family and mine, kins with passion
Maybe I'm losing some for myself, rap and all
Those I thought were my friends in a brawl
Fuck that, the beat just changed again
Must be me rusty, slow, boring, mundane
But relax, I'm just gettin' my own life back
Before it's too late to sew up this crack
Sounds restricted with the two-by-two bars
Poor flow, with this beat that I really call slow
Shoudn't be da case, but I guess I don't blame it
The society, media, school, you name it
Straight back to the doctor, the dentist
It flips your lid when you are a kid
Like the doctor, put your hands up for the doctor
The psychopath, magic wrath, you can laugh all you want
And wake up the next day tryin' to pray but you can't chant
Then's when you realise you don't practise what you preach
So much for havin' looked up to you as a kid
Thank you so much for tellin' me how to skid
But that's really a history, I admit
Lovin' the life of hallucinatory, fanta-story, I like it
Rather than feedin' off the left-overs of you
I'd come right up to ya face and be real
Coz' that's what I feel, the anxiety and thrill
You could be fakin' it to be chill, pretendin' to be ill
But with all that shit gutted down my throat
I can't believe my ears hear you betray your oath
Your wishes for a happy family, is a never fairy
Tale, diabolical master plan deemed to fail
Everytime I reminisce about footage trails
How you started off bringing us on train rails
Gettin' us familiar with the neighbourhood I call home
So near.. yet always so far, like entry in the tomb
More like gantries from rome, forever a desire
To be part of this growing nation fire
But I guess fitting into somewhere I dunno has always been dire
Passin' off as my background, not knowin' I've been such a liar..
The person you've always looked up to gives you the go signal
To leave you dissapointed, dismal in facin' truth in denial
Peakin' through albums believin' the good guy in you..
But times have changed, I guess one world is better than two...
If you know what I mean.
Or if I even meant at all.
