One year older, one year stronger, one year wiser =D.
2008 has flown past in rocket-speed, and 2009 is where it's heading. 31st December 2008, time for another annual summary of the entire year.
It wasn't the best year in my life. It started low, and I supposed it's going to end low as well (I'm at home blogging instead of staying out partying). Ok, here's the recap.
From February to April, I had the best experience I ever had till date. 10 Poly students, not really knowing one another well, went on an overseas ITP (more of like an exchange trip to me) at UWA, Perth, Australia. We began like strangers, and ended like a big family. There were times when we had fun, and times when we got ourselves in shit. If not for the other 9, that trip would have been a disaster. Great learning experience, and it made me want to study elsewhere more ... where do I get the money though?
Then we came back on a delayed schedule. Compensation we got, of course.
Following right behind was the start of a new AY, 2008/09. Got to know my FYP supervisor over at SERI, learn more things from school and participate in a few events as well - chalet stayovers, Poly50 with my classmates, Janet's house steamboat & stayovers, AD&D and Class 4E1' 2005 Dinner @ Marche. That's as much as I can remember. Haha.
Taking a look back, it really wasn't a fantastic year. It was a year when I almost choked, gasping for breath; it was all but a few wonderful friends that pulled me up again.
Well ... Looking ahead, I dare not make resolutions. Whatever that should happen, will happen eventually. If I should, I would like to have a really good year. By late February, we would have finished our exams; By late April or early May, we would have graduated; By July or October, a new life begins in the NS. Plans? Earn enough and go on a vacation before enlisting ... Boracay, Phuket or Bali anyone?
To think that I'm ending 2008 like that kind of dampens my spirits, but I guess it's not a bad idea to sleep it off and wake up to a new year, fresh. Self-consolation, it is =D.
Wish all people I know a great 2009 ahead!

Twilight Movie Review
After much anticipation since they first screened the trailer, we caught the movie Twilight yesterday evening.
Ratings first. On the scale of 5, romance - 4/5, plot 4/5, scenes 3/5 and actions 2.5/5. Overall - 3/5.
Yes, I am critical. Many people said that it was good, which piled on my already high anticipation. I couldn't get my hands on the book in libraries, so that was probably why I was looking forward to the show.
Most knew already that the book was written to target young adults, utilizing romance to tantalize teenage girls to read an otherwise presumed scary story. It's about vampires, shouldn't it be scary? I have read reviews from bloggers, and some said it offered very little action as promised from the start of the book. I haven't read, so I couldn't say much, but the movie was way too short of details.
Now the explanation for the ratings. High romance rating, as it should be, as it was about an unnatural love story between a vegan-vampire and a high school girl. That very much saved the movie from more blushes.
The story was good. It was kind of refreshing, credits to the author of course, and the script-writer for the movie. It lost the other 20% on not wow-ing the audiences enough. Well, it was all about great car, secluded mansion in the forest, neck-breaking running speed, rock-smashing strength and glistening body in the sunlight. Probably it will be better with more murders, blood-sucking scenes, how evil the 'bad guys' were before the annihilation of one. It'll keep audiences on the edge of their seats that way, I guess.
Average scenes and actions. Yes, the scenaries were good, but some were just too short accompanied with brief actions. It was only a short stint of running the in forest, feeding on victims and throwing each other around into mirrors and pillars. The opposition died too quickly, agreed by Wayne. How he died too? The sacred fire? Not explained in the movie~
Perhaps it is meant to appeal to the general public, that's why the very little actions and violence seen. To me, it was not thrilling enough to be a romance/thriller.
Not really looking forward to the next one now, but guess I'll still catch it. Haven't missed many series of movies before once I've started it - LOTR, Spiderman, X-Men, POC, just to name a few.
Hopefully the next one will get better. The good thing was, they ended the show with a climax. That saved the show too.
Till then ... watch out for more Jeremy's Movies Review, though I don't frequent the cinemas.
See ya.

Salome's
It was a tiring day.
It's going to be short.
The class went to Ms Salome's, our Histo lecturer, place for the day. She was one of the best hosts I have encountered in my life - making sure we're all eating and seated comfortably, chatting with us and continuously replenishing the empty plates and glasses with food and drinks.
I was initially afraid that there wouldn't be many activities to do. I was rightfully proven wrong. Some watched DVDs of Simpson's and Music & Lyrics (was it?), while some played card games. We basically stuck to the card games for the longest time, changing from Bomb Number 99 (I created the title myself), Murderer, Toilet Break and Dai Dee.
That ended the day out at her place. We went for the movie "Twilight" at AMK Hub afterwards, and the review of the movie will be in the next post.
I promised it's going to be short =D. Good Night.

What Does It Feel Like?
What does it feel like to lose something - an iPod, a favourite toy, the best won ton mee stall, whatever - and learn to accept new ones?
This entry might eventually lead to no where. You might say I'm just a guy trying to attract much attention. You might have hit the bullseye.
Still, it's a post I want to do, and get people to think, if you want to.
The past 19 years, and a couple of months on top of that, have seen me gain much, and lose much. Stuff you lost as a kid, were probably insignificant. Even things you lost now, might not be all that important.
I've lost much, as I mentioned. Toy cars which I'd said from young I'd keep forever; forgotten memories, that's ironical; lessons learnt, I don't keep them.
From these losses, have I gained from them? People always say when you lose some, you gain some (opposite for pessimists). I don't see what I have gained, other than fear in accepting, frightened to step into a closed room, never ventured before. What's behind that door?
A 4-walled, sound-echoing room? A maze? Or ... an indefinite fall into never-land?
I gained courage in dealing with situations, but I lost confidence in dealing with them too, if you get what I mean. It's like learning to bake a cake - everytime you fail, you can modify the recipe, willing to try again. However, you'll never see it succeeding, until you finally succeed.
As I have expected, it's really leading to no where. I'll just sleep.
Good Night.
Apologies to those I've told I'm going to bed, but I'm still wide awake actually.

Hundred n Eightieth
So Tuesday came and went =D.
I will briefly start off with the medical check up that lasted 3.5 hours before going into the details of AD&D. Dad drove me down for the check up at 9am, and everything went pass quite smoothly, except for the constant distractions at the service counters which I wasn't quite pleased with. Quite healthy on the whole until ...
Body check-up. We were told to strip to our shorts before undergoing the series of tests including ECG, height & weight, BP and doctor evaluation. Here comes the interesting part. Being known as one of the healthiest living person in the class, or so I deemed myself to be, I actually had weird ECG, slightly low BMI (o.2 short to reach the healthy level) and low BP. Got referred to see a cardiologist in Feb, so hopefully all turns out fine =D.
So, that was followed by the aptitude test before I headed home. I only had a brief rest, then showered, went out to buy the flowers Shirley requested, and finally cabbed with Johnny and Wayne to the dinner venue - Marriot Hotel.
We reached, and saw a few of them already there. Shortly after, the rest joined us. Say, the ladies looked gorgeous, and the guys, suave. Yea. Took many pictures before we headed into the ballroom when everyone arrived.
In the ballroom, it meant more picture-taking. Before, during, and after dinner that was. We totally disregarded the servers that served our table, when they tried their best to provide the best they could offer. That certainly helped in giving us a great dinner, though not so great food. And yea, many pictures ... Just add me on facebook and view those yea? Many people had tagged me. Quite lazy to post ...
We were well-entertained by the emcee too. He kept the atmosphere hot all night with his lame jokes and comical ... speeches? Talks maybe, can't find the right word. Yea, he was good.
It ended with a short stint on the dancefloor. Obviously, I didn't, because I couldn't. Haha. Other than singing along to 'Livin' On A Prayer' by Bon Jovi which the DJ played, I really didn't shake much. HAHA.
We ended the whole night at TopOne KTV. Didn't sing much ... Too tired and hungry. Ended up dying at around 0330hrs, and we left at 0530hrs for brekky at Mac. So ... that's all for the night.
I guess the rest blogged more or less the same thing for the night. Except they didn't include the medical check-up. Haha!
That's all.

Back In Action
I'm back from a long week of MST, weekend full of events and a tiring day walk through the Southern Ridges, again.
MST - just a few comments. Was motivated to study for the first 3 papers, but subsequently, lethargy grew over me and I started to give the last 2 papers some slack, still, I guess I didn't do that badly. Good performance, I certainly hope.
Weekends - stuck at SGH for project for five long hours on Sat, and came back home to rest.
Didn't do much on Sunday. Woke up early for breakfast, hung around at home and helped my mum in some cleaning and shifting of cabinets. Wedding Dinner @ Amara Sanctuary, Sentosa. That was the most spectacular Wedding Dinner I had attended in my 19 years of life. It was entertaining, not just the emcees but the newly weds as well, great photoshoot album (they spent almost a week in Hokkaido, Japan for the photoshoot) and great service on the hotel's part. Had my very first drink at a Wedding Dinner too ... partly because that was my first Wedding Dinner in 3-4 years.
Today - We're supposed to meet at Alexandra Arch for the Southern Ridge walk to Harbourfront, only to have our spirits dampened by the rain and last minute change of plan. Nevertheless, we quite enjoyed ourselves over brunch at Kim Gary, sang a belated and present birthday song for Janet and Justin respectively, didn't pay a cent for brunch and took some pictures. Also, the walk was kind of refreshing, in the rain of course.
Otherwise, tomorrow will be a big day, busy too. I will be having my NS medical check-up over at CPMB, Depot Road which I have no idea where it is (dad's driving), and also rushing back home to get some rest before the Dinner & Dance at night, followed by a night out somewhere. I'm sure it will be quite brilliant =D.
Will post again ASAP about the night, and the medical check-up of course.

Is There No One I Can Trust Anymore in This Family?
I don't give a damn to what you'll be thinking of me after you read the following, scram if you don't feel like getting a second opinion of what I am.
First of all, greetings to all that only take and do not give, less said about returning. You are God's perfect creations of what a selfish person should be. In times of need, all you do were to go around sourcing for help, monetary or psychological, and never thought about returning the favour. If you should think the world owes you something, I only hope that Man up there can make you realise that you owe everyone else not something, but lots.
Second, face up with the truth and live with it, and not living in a massive lie. Get over it, you're only making everyone around you feel worse. Think about that 2 kids you have; think about the 2 elderly that raised you up, still protecting you despite all the mess you're in; think about the siblings that ever tried so hard to aid you that they even have to resort to seeking help for you from their own kids; and please fucking show some respect for yourself.
Third. Need help? Look for the person directly! All you did was to try to get some one else whom you thought they could help, and if they can't, you very well know they'll go all out just to get you out of shit. In that case, you won't feel as much shame, as you deemed. No. It doesn't work out that way. It made you looks more like a wimp. A crying bastard/bitch that simply begs for help, but not putting up enough courage to even ask for the exact person to help you.
Finally, exercise responsibility. If you think you're deeply in need of aids, what about the others? Are we to give you what we have, all the time, and not leave anything for ourselves? Tell you what, we can be just as selfish, and let you die out there. If not for my dear cousins, I would have turned a deaf ear to my parent's persuasions.
All along I like-d you all, but why must you people messed up and made me despise every single one of you? I don't ask for you all to stop getting in trouble; I don't ask for wealth and the excellent lifestyles for my good old grandparents. All I ask for is to make them feel that you are really grown up enough to handle your matters, and not let them worry for you day and night, for they have given you all they ever could, but you are just not doing your part as children to allow them some peace and quiet even at their age.
Want to see your parents dead still worrying for you, not able to rest peacefully? Well, we might well have a case here. I certainly don't wish for that to happen to my beloved grandpa and grandma, for they're dear to me. They're getting old, the time will come sooner or later. If it were to come tomorrow, can they ever find peace in their long-lasting sleep? I fucking hate to doubt this.
My opinions will not change, and even if you try to make up for it, it's not going to change the way I look at you. Remember, I do not help you; I pity the cousins I have, I treasure my grandparents, those are the reasons.
Remember.

Always Some Room For Beer
Always Some Room For Beer
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar...and the beer.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed."Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.
The sand is everything else - the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal. "Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.
The professor smiled."I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers."

OITP Mates - 1st Outing Back From Perth.
And so, we finally had our long-awaited, highly-anticipated OITP Mates Outing since we came back from perth like, what, 7 months ago?!
And so, we went for ice-skating at Kallang Leisure Park. What an 'ulu' place that is, quite inaccessible, and the bus services don't come frequently enough. Ok, they don't have to anyway, not much people visit that place.
And so, we skated for 2 hours. Less than that actually, excluding the time putting on our skates, waiting for re-surfacing of the rink and taking off skates. Hmm ... Without the 'unlimited' package, it really wasn't that worth it, but definitely there was less crowd. Both good and bad points huh.
And so, we finished and ended up at Carl's Jr. @ Suntec City for dinner before we roamed around the area, all tired (except Joan that went home for dinner and Afsheen that went to meet her friend I guess). I myself am suffering from a bad LEFT heel and bruised LEFT ankle, and my right is perfectly fine. It better recovers before NAPFA, or there goes my 5 for 2.4km and shuttle run.
And so, that ended our outing. Seriously, I miss the times when we were at Perth. Looking out for one another, cooking together, simply walking around the town week in week out, teasing each other on stupid stuff (let's go jogging Da Jie, Lou Mou's Cafe, ear-licking and leg-hair shaving playing 'truth or dare' etc. etc.), rushing out of hotel room to catch the fantastic fireworks and having loads of fun on trips around the place ... And many, many more.
What fun =D.
And so, we talked about those days. Of course, more things happened today, with more laughters, as usual. It felt just like we're in Perth, just that we're without our big joker Zul and Lynette, otherwise it would have been a full OITP Mates Outing.
And so, mates, let's meet up more often and have outings like that.
Cheers!

And so, we talked about those days. Of course, more things happened today, with more laughters, as usual. It felt just like we're in Perth, just that we're without our big joker Zul and Lynette, otherwise it would have been a full OITP Mates Outing.
And so, mates, let's meet up more often and have outings like that.
Cheers!

I Like This.
Attitude is EVERYTHING
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
Well,” she said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today?”
So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
“H-M-M,” she said, “I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today?”
So she did and she had a grand day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head.
“Well,” she said, “today I’m going to wear my hair in a pony tail.”
So she did and she had a fun, fun day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn’t a single hair on her head.
“YEA!” she exclaimed, “I don’t have to fix my hair today!”
Attitude is everything.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly…….
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.

If The Price Is Right!
Brief update.
On last Wednesday, we went to Pulau Tekong for god-knows-why reasons. Basically, we attended a short presentation and talk and a tour around the Camp. We guys are not that interested, see ... we're enlisting in a year's time, why would we be excited?
Went on a shopping trip to hunt for D&D outfit. Instead of finding something suitable, we got ourselves trained in guessing prices. Each time, we were getting better and better. Haha. Yes, we walked around, searched, but to no avail.
Stayed home all day over the weekends ...
And that brings me to Today. Morning meeting at SGH, some lab work and back home doing almost nothing.
Oh, people, do listen to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, a late Hawai'ian that sang very well. If you ever feel like going to the beach, listen to him~
The weather alternating between hot and cold every other day. Please, sick people, observe some self-discipline and stay away from me.
So long~

School, Lectures, Tutorials
Many people are turned off by school these days. Is it that dreadful?
Yes, piling assignments, frustrating people and intolerable weather ... actually, not much of the weather, but I don't know what else to say already ... are kind of stressful. In addition, we have our FYP to worry about, and it seems like everyone is upon completion, except us.
Anyway, that's not the main point. Just want to tell all of you all to continue to hang on. Afterall, school is not that bad aside from the assignments and boring lectures.
I have no idea how to continue from here.
By the way, my craving for something junk has come again.
Now I know what to write. After some contemplation, I've decided to go for AD&D2008. Reason? It's probably our first and last D&D together, so why not? I mean, yea, all of us are going to spend quite a bomb on the outfit, but I guess it's pretty worth it. So hopefully these people will make it real happening (right Chia Pei Yi?) and memorable.
What to wear then?
Apart from this, there's nothing happening in my life at the moment. School is mundane, but not to the degree of 'dread' in my opinion.
I'm stopping here to avoid boring people.

Hapy Deepavali
It was Deepavali yesterday.
See, I spent my long weekend without doing anything worth talking about. Other than doing my project, I practically stayed home whole day doing just a bit of work. Ok, I got myself addicted to SAW series, which unfortunately, I can't watch SAW V because it was R21, and it is not screening in cinemas already anyway.
No outings, no dates, no entertainment.
No productive work done, no motivation, no completion.
Should I go for CLS D&D 2008?
That's absolutely random. Haha. I don't know what I can do there. Seriously, just eat? Take some pictures? Probably hang around later at some pubs for a drink or two with people?
Justin made a good point - we don't know many people around the school. It's not like the Secondary School prom, when you knew most people from your level. You could walk from tables to tables and take a picture with at least 1 person at each of them. You knew most of the
teachers - you made small talks with them, joked around, and even took a few photographs.
I'll consider again.

Successive Quickie? Maybe A Slow One =D
It was a sloppy update I posted last night. Was too giddy from the cab ride. Don't ask why didn't I sleep since I was not feeling good, I needed my damn hair to dry first. Yes, I don't own a hair-dryer. Haha.
Ever have songs that speak your heart out? Say, I have many. I know the lyrics by heart, and I hum to the tune whenever I am alone - lying on the bed, showering in the bathroom, walking along the pavement, jogging, staring into space, gazing at stars (I don't do this often, actually only seldom, not much stars to see aye?) or just ... singing.
By now many should know the genre of music I listen to. Nope, no house, no trance, no hip-hop, no rap, no hip-hop R&B and no anything-hype. Just jazz, rock - slow, soft, or pop, some everyone-knows-the-lyrics-but-don't-dare-to-admit love songs and oldies.
Different songs for different occasions. It needs to suit the tempo, the atmosphere to create the perfect ambience. You don't listen to love songs while jogging yea? haha.
For me, though I don't play any music instrument, music is an essential. I vent my anger on it, convey message with it and sleep to it. Reminisce the good old times too, listening to those that we used to like in primary school (Westlife? A1? BSB? N'Sync? Ronan Keating? Britney? MJ?) and secondary school (Robbie Williams? Avril Lavigne? McFly? Uncle Kraker? The Calling?).
Recent obsession? Jon Bon Jovi. I know they're an old band, being around the music scene since 1984. They're not like any other rock bands that voice their anger and discontent, but make songs full of meanings and images. Who doesn't sing to 'It's My Life'? Who doesn't know 'Never Say Goodbye'? You might not know the title, but when you hear it, the tune just comes. They make really good songs.
Yes, MCR is still good, but perhaps I'm starting to settle down for more ... old-ish songs? Yes yes, I'm old.
I guess it comes with age, just like the belly and grouch. When you grow older, you prefer the now classics over new releases. They may now seem to lose novelty; at length, they only get better, just like those liquor people keep in the cellar.
Maybe you'll come to a time when you hum ...
When I was young I'd listen to the radio, waiting for my favourite songs.
When they played I'd sing along, it made me smile.
The Carpenters - Yesterday Once More.
Remember when ...
I just called, to say, I love you.
Stevie Wonder - I Just Called To Say I Love You.
How can you forget ...
How deep is your love?
Bee Gees.
And also listening to ...
Every breath you take. Every move you make.
Every bond you break, every pain you stake,
I'll be watching you.
The Police - Every Breath You Take.
Times when ...
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you.
I know you were right, believing for so long.
Air Supply - All Out Of Love.
Of course when this ...
Tall and tan and young and lovely.
The girl from Ipanema goes walking and ...
When she passes each one she passes goes ... ahh~~
Frank Sinatra - Girl From Ipanema.
As years pass ... you see ...
She's got a smile, that it seems to me,
reminds me of childhood memories,
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky.
Guns n' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine.
Then the world becomes wonderful again as ...
I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see the bloom, for me and you.
And I think to myself ...
What a wonderful world?
Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World.
Cheers =D.

Quickie
Quick update =D.
Friday 17th Oct - Out to City Hall after school for Shirley wanted to get something. I myself got some things for people. Steamboat-ed with Janet, Andy, Fiona, Nicholas, Johnny and Madeline at Bugis. Well ... Didn't eat much, but still, satisfying.
Sunday 19th Oct - Cells were finally growing well. Did first protein extraction after ... 3 weeks? Went back to Fort Siloso to return my uniform ... felt kind of out of place initially, but these people made me felt at home almost instantly. I love the sofa ...
Shireen's Hari Raya Open House next. I recall blogging last year, but this time round, it's with a different group of people, with only Astra and myself that were there the previous time. As before, superb food and warming hospitality. Their family made such good hosts!! Small talks and games to finish off the night.
Good night.

Project Jeremy
As Zi Lin proudly called it, Project Jeremy.
It's nothing but a farewell water splash and ... celebration for me? Haha!
Ok, it started off like that.
I was doing closing with the three OJT4s (on-job trainee; 4th day) when the buzzer at Surrender Chambers (if you know what's that, for goodness sake) went off. For a moment, I thought it was all part of the project, but the use of walkie-talkie and the flustered Shireen running up to check out what's happening abolished that one thought. It still lingered on until I was pretty sure that's not part of it.
So, the buzzer was shut all of a sudden, and Shireen made me walk down to the Support Centre, and there these people were, hiding in one corner with buckets and bottles full of water all ready to ambush the poor old Jeremy, which became wet and cold eventually. Cold due to the icy-cold water they used from the water fountain, it sent chill down my entire body~ Throughout the whole de-briefing, that is.
True enough, other than being cool, they were super nice. A cake was brought in towards the end of the whole thing and they made me say something to every single one of them present. I was caught unexpected as I had only expected to address them generally. Imagine to come up with something to say to a crowd of around 11 people? Head count - Shireen, ZiLin, Nisha, Mabel, Astee (Wati), Khai (OJT1), Nisa (OJT1), Dian (OJT2), JX (OJT4), Shahrill (OJT4) and Yi-Hui (OJT4). Man, I remember!
But yea, I cannot thank a few of them enough for making me into who I am today. Special thanks to Shireen, she's horribly nice, acting just like an elder sister of mine (I don't know how an elder sister should act though). So horrible that although I have nothing much to talk to her, she knows quite a few things about myself. Thanks Shireen! I'm never good with words, but don't get all teary when you read this (if you happened to =D), please. The pound cakes will come! HAHA.
Thanks for everything, Fortians =D.

Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore ...
It might be hard to be lovers
But it's harder to be friends
Baby, pull down the covers
It's time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
I'll just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore
Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Don't you think its time we say
Some things we haven't said
It ain't too late to get back to that place
Back to where, we thought it was before
Why don't you look at me
Till we ain't strangers anymore
Sometimes it's hard to love me
Sometimes it's hard to love you too
I know it's hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life
With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore
It's hard to find forgiveness
When we just turn out the light
It's hard to say you're sorry
When you can't tell wrong from right
It would be so easy
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping score
So let's get down to it baby
There ain't no need to lie
Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore
We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
We're not strangers ... anymore

I Leave.
For both the good and the bad, I have sent in my resignation.
With effect from 12th October 2008, I will no longer be a staff at Fort Siloso. Well ...
Pressure from FYP is piling up, and with other issues glooming over, I thought it is best for me to hang up my uniform. For why I resign (issues?), I shall say no further =D, but it's for the good of them, and myself.
Bad?
It's not at all easy to say, "I shall leave after next Saturday", as this is the place where I truly learnt lots of stuff from. From a man with little words to some one who can openly express himself; if not for the opportunity given by Sentosa, I would most probably still be the same as before.
Not only I'm grateful to those that taught and guided me, I'm thankful to have made a few friends from Fort that are worth making. For whom I shall not mention, but you know. Truth be told, I dare not write any of your names in case I miss out any and upset those I haven't mentioned. See, people are sensitive. I, myself, am. Even if you think you're not part of these people, I will say I'm glad I know you, as we've been colleagues once, and we've worked as a team and made Fort proud with honour (with the number of compliments Fort received and being the best service-providing attractions among all other in the year 2007).
This is not an emo post, as we can all still keep in touch. I hope I will be welcomed when I stand at the Ticket Trip once more when I visit them folks.
Lighter note - apart from the dreaded FYP and depart from Fort, the new, and the last semester, will begin in just more than a week's time. It sounds like bad news to some, but definitely good news to me. I love school. I told people before that if I could, I wish to remain a student forever.
So long everyone =D.
*That's what I call an abrupt end. HAHA.

What It Holds?
Many people seemed to be writing about their future these days. Well, got back my results this time round, a distinction saved me from dissatisfaction from my results, despite the fact that I only scored a mere 3.304 semestral GPA. Okay, I don't really mean that I was sad or disgruntled over the results, but I thought that I could have done better, who doesn't?
Simply put, after this semester, we're only left with 1 more to go in our polytechnic lives. Quite a handful of us are already thinking of continuing in this field or course of study, or switching to something else, or just enter the workforce and work from 9-5 like any other working adult would do. We're lost in what we want to be, what we want in life, what we pursue - are they achievable? Are they realistic? Can they be materialised within my lifetime? Are those dreams really, still in doubt, our lifelong regret-less careers?
It's not like guys like us are not thinking about it, since we still have 2 years to go serving the Army. We're in fact quite worried. Say, most of us will think that we'll be wasting 2 years in the Army, so, we must really be decisive in making serious considerations and planning for our future. Time waits for no one, yea? Coming up with a draft of your life seems a good idea. Realistic one, of course.
I've figured some career paths to choose from, a few of you might have learnt of my intentions. Just mapping out the possibilities and hopefully I won't have to worry that much in turn to come.
But I would still say, should we spend so much of our time and effort planning for something you can't forsee, or enjoy this last semester fully?
Think about it =D.

Expensive.
I'm referring to the StanChart Marathon 2008. I missed the promo period as the counter wasn't opened 2 Saturdays ago. That's quite puzzling, as Bukit Gombak Stadium is among the official place for on-site registration, it's actually closed at noon. Well, it's ok, I'm giving it a miss. Too expensive. NewBalance RealRun 2008 then. Haha.
FYP-ed lately. Going well, so just hope that for the next 4-5 weeks, things can go this smoothly.
Mindcafe-d just 2 days ago with a few of the clique people (Andy, Wayne, JR, Nich, Janet and Fiona). For photos, please click on or on my list of friends to your left =D.
Considering a lot of stuff these days. Some people might know. Haha.
Thoughts: How many people would stay by my hospital bed if I were to go into a coma?

Considering a lot of stuff these days. Some people might know. Haha.
Thoughts: How many people would stay by my hospital bed if I were to go into a coma?

Stones.
SAFRA Bay Run & Army Half Marathon was held on 24/08/08, Sunday. Finished 21K in 1hr 54min. Hmmm ... Should have done better, but it was my first, shall take heart to that.
Encountered many stones along the way. Stepped on a few too. Tough route.
Was just glad I completed it. Haha.
Things happened these days ...
Oh, did I mention that exams are over since 1610, 26/08/08, TOday??
Pay day on Saturday ... Shall register for StanChart Full Marathon soon, otherwise ... It'll be another $10/- jump after the promo period this Sunday.
Lots of things to buy - A sports watch, socks ... Can't think of the rest at the moment.
FYP coming up over the next 6 weeks. Hopefully it'll be smooth-sailing.
It seems like I'm updating for the sake of updating.
There's really nothing interesting going on in my life at the moment. I'd say ... I hate the weather.
Entertainment (budget entertainment I mean) please~

Got To Try Harder
Now that Monday will be gone in less than 1.5hour time, I'm left disappointed, but not too worried for myself.
Fact is, I feel that I haven't studied enough for Wednesday's Immunology Paper, but then again, no matter how much I read, I see myself reading the same thing over and over without clearing doubts that have yet to arise.
Perhaps it's the lethargy. Perhaps it's the exhaustion. Oh no, I guess it's the unsatisfied craving =D.
Just a short update. Mahjong-ed at Janet's place on Saturday night (16-08-08) through the lunar eclipse. It was pretty. My first time watching it. Otherwise, it was a long night creditted to the hunger I had while playing mahjong. Well ... Thinking needs a lot of energy doesn't it? HAHA.
Hmmm ... Her family was really a nice host. I can never tolerate people singing at my place up till 0030, let alone mahjong till the morning light.
Oh, did I mention the super cheap tze char + cai bng stall near her house? $55 for 9 people, kudos to the boss! He gave us a few dollars discount as we're still students. How nice.
Otherwise, I spent my Sunday trying to regain my concentration in order to study. Not productive at all, thus I left it till today. Well ... Read above if you skipped =D.
Yes, I mentioned craving. It was bothering me the whole day as I couldn't stop thinking about food. Even at this moment when I'm typing this very word. I shall go to bed to curb this, and satisfy it tomorrow. Huge meal tomorrow ...
Good Night.

LazyDay
Short updates.
Watched Dark Knight with Janet, Sarah and Andy last Saturday after having lunch at a Hong Kong Cafe. Great movie. A lot of frauds, conspiracy, mind-games and ear-irritable laughters. Heath Ledger did excellent as The Joker, and I believe the late actor can pull off to win the Oscars.
Some pretty cool scenes too - Batman jumping off buildings, the racing Lamborghini ... and ... Why So Serious?!
4.5/5.0 from me. Yea, 0.5 less as I thought probably the show can feature more on Two-Face. It suddenly seemed very rush towards the end to keep the movie as short as possible (it's 2.5 hours, why not just extend to 3 hours?!).
Otherwise, this show was not just any other action flicks that only had actions and no plots. The storyline was beautifully written and the casts were brilliant.
Next, I made Janet, Andy, YH and MH (the latter 2 are Andy's friends) wait as I finished work to meet them for dinner at VivoCity. Had Sakae at Harbourfront Centre instead, and it was by far one of the funniest and long dinners I had. Haha.
Stayed home all day yesterday, other than lunch and dinner, to do some work. Tomorrow we'll be having a test, Wednesday another test, and Thursday the last one before we go for our study break. Add in Poly50 on Wednesday ... It's hectic.
It's Over ... I hope =D.

Running In The Rain
I recall writing a post about jogging in the rain before. That was probably last year.
Met up with Sarah, Shirley, Janet, Fiona and Wayne for a weekly jogging session. Well, I don't know if it'll still be weekly since NAPFA will end next week. HAHA! But well, it's still fun, since I have to jog anyway, what's better than having a group of friends to jog with?
Well ... I finished 2 sets of 2.4km before it started to rain, and that was also when Sarah and Shirley reached. We got ourselves sheltered, before finally decided to head out into the rain to continue jogging, and thus ... another set of 2.4km with the both of them. The rain stopped after the third round, and it wasn't as heavy already when we started.
That's about it. Coming up next, will be something to do with Janet.
It was fortunate for me to be able to witness the best balancing and calm fall so far in my life. We were walking down the stairs from the Library to the LT, and the floor was wet from the rain. There we went, she walking in front of me. All of a sudden, her head disappeared from the crowd of heads, and the next moment was her sitting on the floor.
I wasn't that much concerned as she looked perfectly fine, but I was actually looking at the cup of Iced Lemon Tea she was holding ... It must be some Holy Water or some sort to her, that the cup was so well held that it seemed it never suffered any trauma at all, for example, dents from the intense gripping.
The whole fall was exagerated by Sarah's and Shirley's screams, but otherwise, she's only suffering from some butt aches at the moment. HAH!
We shared some of her most embarrassing falls later today, so Janet, do you want me to share them all?! Another day perhaps, it'll take too long to write them all out =D.
I hope I'm not falling sick from the rain. Feeling the itch down my throat, and I'm coughing since. Not serious though, I probably just need a good night's rest tonight. Have been waking up early for almost every day since the Friday before the last one, mainly for work, lessons and exercising sessions.

Jazz~
Met up with grace for a short MRT ride. Felt so bad for being late, but it was still nice to see her back home, though she'll be flying back to Perth next Tuesday. Thanks for the chocolate fudge with rum and raisins, it was really really good.
Also, I had dinner with Eileen Goh last Saturday at Durty Nelly's Marina Square. I would say the place was nice, but the food was just average. The beef steak was not piping hot, probably because they sliced the 2 pieces off the lot. Also they had this bread as a side which I thought was pretty nice. I took 1 small mouthful of the mashed potato and left it aside. Eileen liked it, so I guess that was good too. I just don't like that taste.
Otherwise, the company and small talks were good. The long bus ride home was quite enjoyable too, though I got a little headache from the bumpy ride. Haha. I better stick to the train for now.
I'm into jazz lately. Bossa nova, whatever. If you know of anything nice, do let me know =D.
Guess I will be missing in a bit ...

Food n Movie Rating
Clique outing after MST last Friday to Sushi Tei and Cineleisure for Get Smart.
My first visit to Sushi Tei and I must say that it wasn't a very good experience. I got myself sitted to see myself stepping onto some rice on the floor. That, was bad. Next, service was pretty prompt, with the waitress constantly topping up our glasses with iced water. Can't expect much as they seemed busy during lunch time. Finally, the food. Portion was just right, and not very expensive, but it was not that value for money as the quality of food was not that good. I had a Tonkatsu Don (Pork Cutlet w/ Egg on Rice). It lacked the crunch you'd have expected from a cutlet, with the juice that doesn't leave the oily taste in your mouth. The skin was soggy from sauce, very soggy in fact, and the meat was very dry. The rice however, was mouthful, so the whole thing wasn't that bad either.
GET SMART - 4.0/5.0. Lots of inside humour, illogical 'common' sense, and predictable yet laughable scenes. You'll find yourself laughing at least every 5 min in the show, which lasted for nearly 2 hours. Loads of fun, and action as well, a movie not to be missed for laughter is the best medicine, especially when there're many sick people this month. HAHA. However, at some part they were not clear as to how this and that happened, such as how agent 86 (forgot the lead's name, really, haha) knew so much about the big, macho man. Forget about these small details though, the movie was worth the time for some good laughs.
Ok, Bye Bye.

Title
It's one of those days when I have nothing to talk about and basically nothing to do at all, that I start to write posts like this.
Okay ... Updates ...
One more paper to go.
The swell has subsided, though I've 'applied some eyeliner' on my right eyelid. It's purple.
Hot nights ... I mean, the temperature, not having hot dates. Air-con works wonders, but I always have my nose blocked when it's on.
Minimal work rate ... Didn't really study for this MST. I need a break.
Thinking of what to do after the last paper.
Writing this post?
Oh ya, I got the swell while playing basketball last Saturday night. Collided into a man's head.
Missing out all the Euros matches - FYP, work and school explain why.
Wasting my holidays - FYP, work, and practically nothing else.
Need some really good food to satisfy my cravings. I mean good food, not lots of food. Though good food of large portions sounds better.
Silent phone ... ... ...
That's good enough I guess.
One more thing, SMRT rocks big time.
Ok, one last thing - I fell in love ...
... With Briyani ... =D
That's all.

I Got Over You
This post has nothing to do with the title ...
It's an annual thing during this period of time ... I'm ill ...
The new Principal of SP, I don't know his name (not like I know the previous one either), implemented the MST system, and everyone's dreading it. Well, I wouldn't if I have no FYP to worry about. I do have time, but physically, I'm usually too worn out to do anything else when I reached home. Took a break away from FYP today, as I'm not getting any better from the cold.
Hopefully I can get over many things - the cold, the MST, the FYP, and the many assignment. Haha. Don't read too much into my title please.
Random ... Last Thursday (05/06/2008), met up with Sabrina and Eileen for some catching up over dinner and drinks. That was fun, though my throat was acting up that night already.
Wednesday (11/06/2008) - went out with 2 friends in search of a friend's birthday present ... But couldn't get it, thus we left it for another day.
Today ... Just plain lazing around and resting, recovering from the cold.

Self-Control
I'm back from the chalet, and as usual, I'm going to put up a post on that.
It was a 2d1n chalet trip this time round, due to shortage of budget and rising expenses. Initially, I thought it was going to be the same - people bbq-ing, singing, beach-strolling and a little bit of drinking ...
And that's when people made chaos to the rest of the people still sober enough to take care of them. Empty vessels and lack of self-discipline got them so drunk that it took almost 20 people to take care of 5-8 of them. So what's our night activity? Taking care of these fucking bastards and bitches.
I see no reason why I should refrain from blogging this, especially when they are my classmates. Though I disagree of any photography or video to be taken, they ought to know how much trouble they've caused.
I stand on Fiona's side to banish all alcoholic drinks on our next chalet trip. I'll give up my beer for this purpose.
In all, those that helped, you were all good people; those that created trouble, give yourself some self-respect and think of how to redeem yourself.
That's all for this entry. Chalet was still ok apart from the late-night irresponsible drinking on their part.

So ... Does Apology Help?
I received an apology recently. I'm not going to write what it was about though, but I'm just penning my thoughts.
I felt that at times, apologies were redundant. Whatever was done cannot be undone, and that, is very true. Can I still bring back what I used to have with that apology? Does that make me happier? Doubts.
And now I wonder, is it because that person wanted me to feel better, that's why he/she was making the effort to apologize and also trying to accomodate me a little? If so, please, I need none of those.
Sometimes when we did wrong to others, we should really understand how they feel, and not trying to bury the hatchets with a simple 'I'm sorry'. On the surface, you might have been forgiven; deep down, that scar remains. Talk about understanding and mending.
It's not difficult to apologize at all. It becomes a norm when you do it far too often. Even when you know you did nothing wrong, you want to apologize just so to ward off any possible quarrels and continued cold wars. That was me.
I hope that person will understand what I'm putting forward here. I'm not saying that I've not forgiven him/her; he/she really needs to read me a little deeper to understand truly how much that hurt. A sincere apology perhaps? I can't define that either.
Putting that aside, tomorrow will be our semestral-ly chalet at Costa Sands Downtown. I'm not part of the organising team this time round, and those that helped, you guys are great to make this happen. Haha.
Tomorrow we shall keep the charcoal hot, down the drinks and make merry.

So We Walked
It was a fine sunday morning. Shirley, Janet, Andy, Nicholas, Fiona and I went for a walk at the Southern Ridges, stretching from Harbourfront to Kent Ridge Park. Fiona's cousin, Pauline, and Janet's youngest sister, Shandy, joined us too. (This paragraph is very Primary School-ish).
Alright! So we met at Harbourfront MRT control station at around 1010hrs, before we headed to the Marang Trail, the beginning of the whole walk. Initially, it was pretty awkward, as that was the first time we did such thing together. Haha.
So we walked. The place was quite scenic. Not the mountains and the rivers and the clouds and the wild horses chasing each other on vast greenland, but the heights and the bridges and the trails right in the heart of the city.
So we walked. We took short breaks in between, having some bread and raisins, while letting the 2 kids rest. They hit off pretty well it seemed. Haha.
So we walked. Pauline kept bugging me when we're reaching. Haha. Cute little girl though. I guess I'm just lovable. Anyway, She kept asking how much more to go, when I had absolutely no idea as well. Haha. How I wish I have such cousins as well. The one I have is horribly rude and proud.
So we walked. Pass the Henderson's Waves and Forest Walk (metal bridges). Fiona was gutted by the fact that she was walking on bridges that she could see what right beneath it. She was afraid that the bridge would break apart.
And so ... we walked. Pass the Hortpark where we took quite a number of pictures, played at the playground and enjoyed more bread. Finally, we reached the Canopy Walk at Kent Ridge, and we stopped.
So ... we had our lunch at Seah Im Foodcourt after taking the bus from Kent Ridge Park to Harbourfront, again. Slacked at Ben & Jerry's, got fooled by the 2 kids with their lame jokes and riddles, and finally home sweet home.
Enjoyable overall. I should be returning to that place again some other day, hoping to reach West Coast Park next time. Haha. Friends' company and good exercise make a good day =D.

'Mary Jane'
I didn't cry the day you moved away
I didn't think that I could feel this pain
Until I saw the stranger that was you
Whatever happened to our innocence
And the somethin' that you said about being friends
Tell me how
Help me say the words out loud
Could it be
That nothing's gonna change
Cause time has got a way of taking back
Everything you thought you had
Can you see
The girl you used to be
The one I lost when I let go of you
Oh whatever happened to
Mary Jane
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
I need to wake up from this state of mind
The situation is the same kind
I gotta get your memory out of my head
Would you catch me if I had to fall
Would you even find the time for that at all
Tell me how
Help me say the words out loud
Could it be
That nothing's gonna change
Time has got a way of taking back
Everything you thought you had
Can you see
The girl you used to be
The one I lost when I let go of you
Oh whatever happened to
Mary Jane
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Cause time has taken back
Everything I thought we had
Mary Jane ...
Could it be
Nothing's gonna change
Cause time has got a way of taking back
Everything you thought you had
Can you see
The girl you used to be
The one I lost when I let go of you
Oh whatever happened to
Mary Jane
Ooh ooh
Oh whatever happened to
Ooh ooh
Mary Jane
"Mary Jane" The Click Five
I didn't think that I could feel this pain
Until I saw the stranger that was you
Whatever happened to our innocence
And the somethin' that you said about being friends
Tell me how
Help me say the words out loud
Could it be
That nothing's gonna change
Cause time has got a way of taking back
Everything you thought you had
Can you see
The girl you used to be
The one I lost when I let go of you
Oh whatever happened to
Mary Jane
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
I need to wake up from this state of mind
The situation is the same kind
I gotta get your memory out of my head
Would you catch me if I had to fall
Would you even find the time for that at all
Tell me how
Help me say the words out loud
Could it be
That nothing's gonna change

Life is Wonderful
Recently, I've noticed, many people including myself, haven't been in the best of moods. Well ... We will never appreciate what we have without losing something, agree? It always takes one thing to have another.
Life is still beautiful. Come what may, we shall thrive through obstacles and grow. Grow up, determined. Grow up, better. Grow up, stronger.
Lately, Wayne introduced me to this song called 'Life is Wonderful' by Jason Mraz. Go listen to it people. Don't just listen to the melody, listen closely to its lyrics.
Ah la la la la la la life is ... wonderful~
Ah la la la la la la life goes ... full circle~
Ah la la la la la life is, ... wonderful~
Ah la la la la ...
Remember to always enjoy life's most thrilling moments, not dwelling on life's most dejected moments.

Helpless
Just a sudden feeling ... a feeling of helplessness.
Well, I don't know how to put it in words, but I just felt that I'm pretty useless. When I was down, there're so many people out there caring and encouraging me, but when a friend is not having a good day, I can only stand and watch, helplessly.
I've no idea how to continue writing, but ... err ... haha.
Forget about that. Let's talk about work. A lot of people might have known that I'll be quitting my job, but a part of me tells me not to quit. Maybe it's been the best place I've worked so far in my life, or it's just because of the people. Yeah, it's a long journey to and fro Sentosa, especially Fort Siloso, but there's something keeping me there. I can't tell what is it either. Haha.
Maybe it's because I've not achieved everything I can. Or maybe it's become part of my life to work while studying ...
Hmm, that's all for today. Haha. I know I've stopped halfway in both topics, but I really don't know how to carry on. Have a good weekend people =D.

The Last Person
I've actually left this person out of my description last week. Well, now I'm going to add 'this person' in. Let's call this person 'T'.
I've many things to talk about T, but I will try to keep it as short as possible, less people get too bored reading my post =D.
T ... First of all, T is not a very tall person and is considered light. T is usually slow in catching jokes, which is why you can't see T laughing, and when T has finally got the joke, T still can't laugh as everyone has moved on. T is that slow.
T is considered a routined person. Everything T does has a certain schedule to follow. T has to sleep at the right time so T won't be late for anything the next day; T has to control T's diet to make sure T doesn't overeat; T makes sure T jogs at least twice a week to keep T-self fit; T ...
T is also a very quiet person. T seldom talks to anyone, and T can't hit off with anyone. T needs time to know people well before T considers he/she as T's friend. However, once T considers a person as T's good friend, T will treat he/she really well. Although T can't solve T's friends' problems, T is willing to be there and listen, just to accompany T's friends through the night.
Also, T is said to be smart. However, T T-self thinks otherwise. T very much thinks that T is just an average person. T is really the T-next-door kind of person.
T loves rock music. T can't play any instrument though, but T would love to pick up guitar if there's a chance. Rock includes soft rock, pop rock and alternative rock. Also, T loves a little bit of jazz. Oldies definitely are included to T's playlist.
T simply loves sports. Can't play anything very well, but knows a little here and there. T loves football, and T particularly supports Liverpool Football Club. T used to have something for basketball as well, and T's favourite team was first Magic then Rockets (well ... T supports Tracy McGrady). Despite enjoying doing sports, T thinks that golf is boring. T can't understand Rugby either, and only knows the sport by seeing battered bodies.
T loves food. T's mum's and wai po's cookings rank first. Won Ton Mee is also T's favourite. Mee Hoon Kuey is T's feel-good food - everytime T feels down, T will order a bowl of Mee Hoon Kuey. It doesn't seem to make T happier though, just distracting T T-self as T usually has a hard time to finish the bowl of Mee Hoon Kuey.
T loves Indian, Italian and Japanese Cuisine as well. T can cook simple Italian fare too, such as Arancini and Pasta. Other than that, T is willing to try other cuisine, as T is a really a foodie.
So ... Anything bad about T?
Yes, T is eccentric. T has become pretty emotional lately, and seems to tear more easily than before. T falls deeply, but T thinks it's only human to do so.
T at times is too serious. T cannot conceal his emotions, and usually shows T's discontents without hiding. Though so, T won't flare up that easily - T will just present T's unhappy expression.
T doesn't really know how to let go. T likes to cling on to things that T knows T won't ever get. Call T stubborn.
T doesn't like to be forced to do what T doesn't like. T will do things sloppily if those are the things T has no interest in.
Well ... I think that's all I have to say about T. Haha. If you know T, do let me know, discreetly, on my tagboard. Haha.

DBS/21/randoms
I'm told to do this, you know who you are =D.
Ok, I'm going to give a description of everyone in my class, but I'm not going to write down their names as I describe, well, first to conceal their identity, and if they know me well enough, they'll know who fits which description =D.
Number 1 - This belongs to you. We were never close until we reached year 2, when we studied in school together during exams and spent time on the phone every now and then. During that time, I was really happy and contented with life, but you single-handedly push me down as well. I'm not blaming you, really, don't worry. Well, 'you' is always loud and chirpy, but pretty secretive as no one really knows what is 'you' thinking about. Definitely a workaholic - for the sake of money and work, 'you' can work a lot and forgo sleep. Haha, loosen up 'you'! You have more important things like friends, family, and maybe ... haha.
Number 2 - I must thank you for always encouraging and giving me advices, accompanying me through my down times when you were having yours as well. First person who had seen me weeped in this class, and what can I say? This person is always there for people, keep secrets really well and is one good friend to have. This person can't really help cheer you up, but this person can cry and be with you when you simply need some one to talk to and confide in. You're great, really!
Number 3 - My sitting and practical partner in school. We always have clashed opinions, but well, open discussions help you understand a certain topic better. We can talk about anything in the sun - sports, music, food, women ... yea, women. haha. Very positive, and smart. Haha.
Number 4 - My niang zi for life. Hmm ... I'm still quite reluctant to accept the fact that I'm 'attached' to her, but oh well, I must admit that she's one good friend I made since entering SP. Genuine, original yet extraordinary, she's quite attractive yet very untouchable. Witty and wise, haha! Advices she gave were sensible and they helped me a lot in decision-making. Other than her serious self, she is usually insane. Always making funny actions and comments that make the class laugh, haha.
Number 5 - Online chat mate. Very 'kaypo' (nosy) and is a great story-teller (according to other people). Love listening to stories too. This person's place seems to be our gathering venue, and this person's parents are very hospitable. This person is intelligent who has 2 equally bright sisters. House of geniuses. Haha.
Number 6 - Only started talking to this person recently, and somehow, we click. Helped me a lot too, by listening and giving advices. One of the smartest person in class - small, short, skinny, and fierce. However, this person is easily stressed and troubled (from what I observe). What else ...
Number 7 (21) - Joker in our clique. Never fails to make us laugh with his illogical actions and senseless comments. The clique always seems so much quieter without him, and he's obsessed with his 'wife'. Haha.
Number 8 (BC) - Looks philosophical, and always makes comments so direct that you might think you're at fault at times. Haha. Generous person, and probably a little 'bo-chup' in most things. This person can really stand by his opinion, strongly.
Number 9 (BC) - I've nothing much to talk about this person. Super tall, skinny with a damn low voice. Haha.
Number 10 (21) - Loves DOTA, skinny, ex-track-n-field member ... ... ...
Number 11 - Loves basketball, especially LA Lakers. Haha. Guess that's our only common topic. I haven't been watching the NBA for a long time though. Tall and quite big in size. This person seems quiet, but can be very 'jiao' at times. Sings well too, and that's our common interest. Haha.
Number 12 - JIAO WEI! Went to Perth with me for OITP. Short, chubby, funny, and loads of crap. Great cook too. Very caring as well - when one of us was sick, this cook made porridge for us, how sweet?! Seems to be everyone's 'kai xin guo' (laughter initiator?!?!) and people find it fun with this person around. More Jiao Wei PLEASE!
Number 13 - Super skinny and severely underweight (BMI at 15?!?!). Used to work somewhere near where I worked before. What else? Perhaps their group of people is the most hardworking of all - always finish the day's assignment on the day itself. Keep it up!
Number 14 - Part of Jiao Wei's group, I've worked with her before in Year 1 for RWP and Year 2 for MMICA. I must say that she's really smart and a great speaker. Fluent in her english and confident. Hardworking too.
Number 15 - Alright, shall we talk about capsicums?! Haha. Same group as Number 12-14, and she's just as crappy. Quite nice to talk to, and would always pop by to ask how I was while I was in Perth. Great friend =D.
Number 16 - Lab partner these days. Damn hardworking and doesn't seem to like to get people to help him in doing datasheets. Always do them on his own, and it leaves the rest of us feeling guilty. Haha. We assume he is gay as he is always trying to get close to Number 3. Haha, but don't quote me. We're just joking. Our Poly50 captain (wait, am I joining them?!). All the best!!
Number 17 - FYP partner. Loves rock music and is a guitarist. Helpful and resourceful. Haha.
Number 18 - Skinniest guy in the class. I was told that he is horny at times. Haha! No offence yea? Hardworking and prompt too. Always finish his work early, and has plenty of time to play. Used to be Number 10 DOTA's mate.
Number 19 - Quiet and hardworking. I've really nothing to talk about her, but all the best =D.
Number 20 - My secondary school ex-classmate. Haha. Doing well as the Floorball's Team Captain. At times she can be a little out-of-her-mind. Haha.
Number 21 - Same group as Number 20. She is the girlfriend of my secondary school friend. Quite a nice person to talk to. Nothing already, haha.
Number 22 - Touted as the 'chio-bu' (pretty lady) of our class, she really is. I guess she is half a vegetarian?! I don't know. Loves to crap as well =D. Same group as Number 20 and 21.
number 23 - Clique with Number 20-22. Sings well, but I really don't know her much. Believe she gets emotional easily too? Haha.
Number 24 (BC) - Buddy in Perth. Strong, muscular, and helpful. Quite vulgar though, but who really cares?! Haha.
Alright. Here are the 24 people who are in the class or from the buddy class. As for the rest, I'm really really really not close to them. Haha. Enjoy reading and see if you're one of the 'numbers' I've described =D!

For A Night, I Sleep on A Bed of Nails
i was drunk, i was getting emotional, and i was feeling all the aches.
was out last night, supposedly to Lollipop! @ MOS organised by SP, but the queue was too long and we settled at a pub nearby introduced by Ben. well, had some martel and beer, and sang some songs as well. haha.
i enjoyed myself, really i did. but, i couldn't help but to drop a tear when i saw you like this. i don't know what came over me last night and i'm not able to let go that quickly. oh well ...
anyway, thanks people for last night. i believe i couldn't get through the night without you all.
When will I sleep, on a bed of roses ...
