Today was such a long day. Key events for today:

• Went to school for ComT


• Met KC at Chinatown for lunch


• Went to school AGAIN to meet Elvis


• Went to Sony Ericsson Service Centre to fix my phone


• Meal at IMM Long John Silver


• Kbox with Elvis


• Dinner at Clementi hawker centre

Long day right? I was travelling around the west area for the whole day. Fun part is that I went to Kbox with Elvis. Haha, yes only 2 of us. We could just hog the mic for the whole session and sing till our lungs burst. We almost lost our voices! The part where we "zao sia" is the funniest and we laugh whenever that happens and we need to wait for a while before starting to sing again, recover from it, lol. After that, went for dinner at Clementi hawker centre. Elvis is "zao sia king" now. He talk 1 sentence zao sia 5 times, LOL. Well, but today was darn great!

KBOX AGAIN NEXT WEEK!!

KC, JIA YOU!
I give u moral support nia =X

Hmm, wondering what I'm saying? Nvm, you don't need to know.. :D No one is allowed to mention this in the tag :p

Today's activities for me was plain and simple. School and something else. Wouldn't reveal what.. LOL. However, some twists were that 1 secret was let out to the person involved.. Well I'm not sure if it's even considered a secret lol..

Met KC after school yesterday and we decided to slack around first as I had to meet Nian at JP at 7pm. Therefore, he suggested going to JE to have a look at K-Pool, seeing if it's closed. However, he was feeling lazy too and he wanted to say, "If 52 comes first, we'll take 52. If 154 comes first, we'll take 154." LOL, funny part comes. When he just said, "If 52 comes first..." I immediately interrupted him and said "52 is here, LOL". No choice, we had to take 52 to JE. Sad, JEC is not the JEC I know anymore. Most of the things we knew was gone. K-Pool, K-Box, Fuji Ice Palace, Shaw Brothers, X-Zone.... Guess it'll only be in our memories..

Took bus 79 to JP after that. We decided to buy Old Chang Kee and slacked around till Nian finally arrived at 7pm. Woots, I bought a Flightplan DVD for me to cure boredom tomorrow since I'll be released at 12pm. :D Once Nian arrived, KC went off and I went with him to the ATM to withdraw money. He withdrew $400 and later on he gave me $550 in total, and I took $25 from my "mobile ATM" and returned him, therefore I pocketed the $25 too, lol. Thereafter, my father returned me the $400 for Chiangmai trip too. I told him, "Give me $50 more la, then I have $1000." To my surprise, he really gave me $50 more! Holding 20 $50 notes in my hands... The feeling was darn great! I almost can't breathe...

Seems like Nian like my parents quite alot and vice versa. Hopefully it'll be a fun experience to rent the room to him.. When I brought him to Boon Lay yesterday, 10 out of 10 people said that I've lost weight.. lol.. Wonder how long I never go already.. However, it's great hearing people say that as the sense of satisfaction is darn great.. :D

Overslept for the first time ever for school.. Woke up at 9am instead of the initially planned 7.45am. Made me have to jump out of bed, shower and catch a cab to school.. Costed me 12 bucks lor. For some reasons, I'm quite in an emo mood today. Reached my class and sat down quietly there daydreaming. Suddenly, I heard someone shout "Daniel!".. Should be CK's voice bah if I'm not wrong.. However, I didn't see CK at all. I lifted my head and saw KC instead, then he come and point a middle finger at me =.= I simply gave him a very sian face since I wasn't in any mood to joke.

Throughout the whole BF lecture I was daydreaming, not really listening to anything the lecturer is saying. The lecturer asked about "Cost of goods sold" and wanted someone to answer it. He looked at me, gave me a little smile and I gave him that dam pek chek face, lol. Probably the first time I gave that face to a lecturer? Nat noticed I was quite in a bad mood today and asked me what's happening. To be true, I'm not sure myself too. Why am I feeling so sianz sometimes? Had lunch at SIM Megabites Cafe today, quite different from what we usually have at Pines. However, the queue is really dam "short" lah. At least 15 minutes before we get our food.

Since I was there to look after the seat, I took out my ASTATS textbook to study. First time I'm studying during lunch.. Does that mean anything?

P.S. All 5 of us wore black today =p

FELLOW POLYTECHNIC FRIENDS, DO YOU WANT A LOWER TRANSPORTATION COST PER MONTH???

Click here and sign the petition for lower bus fares for us!!

Did quite an unusual thing today. JH came my house to play Dota at about 12. Actually before that we had lunch, lol. After that, he wanted to train a bit of his kick-boxing, therefore I used my pillow to let him train. Slacked till about 5pm when I decided to watch the 3 Chiangmai videos. That made him hungry and he actually suggested eating at Sakura International Buffet. I was actually quite shocked, since a meal there costs $20+. Well, we went, LOL.

The very first plate of food I took was SASHIMI! Quite a variety there. Consists of salmon, tuna, squid and prawns. There was another one which I actually forgot what was it called. Other food there consists of baked oysters, prawns, chawanmushi and the food station. There are things like lobster/abalone/shark's fin porridge at the station, but those are minimal, so don't expect a large lobster in front of you if you order lobster porridge. Other things include shishamo, fried beef, chicken chop, lamb chop... Hard to name all! We both were feeling darn full after the meal, almost hard for us to even walk, it's like there's a huge stone in your stomach. xD

Activity: Bowling
People Involved: Group 3
Location: Home Team NS, Bukit Batok
Lane Number: 5

Bowling was fun! I managed to get 2 strikes in 2 games. We went by our names for the order. The order was: KC (Adrian), CK, me (Daniel), Nian Yue, Ruby and ZR. Bowling wasn't as hard as I think and it's quite challenging too. A few times my ball just went straight into the drain, LOL.

Went to watch The Coffin after bowling. Boring movie, not scary at all. Instead, it made me want to sleep. Now.. Are you able to imagine how boring it is?

The power of love: So strong that you wonder hopelessly what had happened to you.

Low Kay Hwa. (2008). To Forget You. Part 2. Singapore. Goody Books

A relative of mine in China just sent me some photos of his sister's wedding. However when I viewed the photos, I could not recognise any faces. Sigh, it's been so long since I went back to China to visit my relatives. Last time I went back was P2. They were quite shocked that time seeing that I have grown up. What if I go back now? Will they faint on the spot? I've become so tall and big now.

China, the place I was born. Singapore, the place I grew up. These two countries are far apart yet I have the affinity to come from China to Singapore. In Singapore, I got to know a lot of good friends. I'm a Singaporean. I'm attached to Singapore. However, I still have relatives in China.. But I do not have any impression of living in China at all, since I came here in 1993. Hometown and homeland.. Spelled with both "home" but it means different things..

Sometimes I wonder how are the things going in my hometown back in China, Shantou. When I last when there, it was a very rural place. However, one of my relatives' family is moving into a 3-storey landed property which was still under construction. From 1999 till 2008.. How are things there? It'll be completely different when I go back again. I've grown much taller, I've grown much bigger, my voice became deeper and my character is more mature. Will they even recognise me when I stand right in front of them? Maybe not, like what I felt too.

What a long day it was.. School was as per normal, lesson starts at 9am today. Well, plans for the trip to school was busted as someone overslept, so I took the journey alone, lol. Ended school at 2pm and stayed in class for some gossiping with the gang of girls as I was waiting for Rebecca to do IFF project. Haha, the things they gossip are just all over the world...

KC joined us at the library in school at about 3.30pm since we chose to do our project there. I did a bit and become slacky, decided to stop doing.. Went to play some dota and such. KC and myself were initially planning for some dota until about 5 or 6pm and then go for dinner, and go home. However, Ruby called us at about 5pm and asked if we want to meet up with CK and herself for dinner. Being very sociable, both of us agreed. :D

Ruby reached school at about 5.35pm. Gosh, she really needs to know the way.. =.= I spent a total of 8 minutes and 12 seconds trying to tell her of a way from Outram Park to NP. She stayed around with us and both of us continued playing our dota till she almost spit fire on us. Therefore, we decided to AQQ and go off to West Mall to meet CK. Boarded bus 61. This very rude uncle is behind me squeezing my bag while trying to walk behind me. Hello.. Can't you just say EXCUSE ME? Made me have to bump into KC since he's sitting while I'm standing.

Finally, reached Koufu at West Mall and had our meal. Seems like we have quite a big appetite today. Ate Beancurd Tofu *looks at someone* + Fried Oyster (shared with KC) and Kikapoo drink. After that, I even went to Old Chang Kee to buy Fried Sotong. Cham cham, later weight grow back again... Walked to CSC, had a walk and took the bus to Cdans.

Slacked with CK below his house till about 11pm and embarked on our journey home.. :)

Lonely lunch today, aww. xD

Slacked in the Aquamarine room in the library from 12.45pm to about 4pm. KC came to find me at about 1pm and had a chat till about 1.20pm then he went off to do his project. Since it's a 1 person room, he sat on the floor LOL. Time passes by so fast when we are chatting, but time passes by even faster with.. =X Pam's joining me to study at about 3pm, therefore it means I'll have to emo till 3pm? Nah.. KC came again at about 2.20pm after his project discussion and we had our chat again. He kept burping since he just ate his lunch, I had to "threaten" him in a joking way to tell him to stop burping, if not Pam will breathe in all those polluted air by him. =X

Oh well, he left for his ComT class at about 2.55pm and Pam came at about 3.10pm. Went to get a chair for her.. Can't expect her to sit on the floor right? Revised a bit of IFF.. But can't really concentrate cause we kept talking to each other, LOL. Went on as per normal till about 4pm when our slot was up and someone else is taking over the room. At about 4+, I accompanied her to the bus stop.. She taught me sign language on the way.. And wanted to give me a test tomorrow? AHH!! I'm so gonna die =.=

Pfft, a very interesting thing I noticed today. Someone got caught red-handed by me today with someone else from 1L02, guessing who? I won't say, LOL. They know it very well themselves.. :D

Maybe that's the power of love: I will be contented, even with two hours of tears alone, just for that one second of kiss with you.

寂寞的午餐

我已经把今天的课全部上完，可说是我今天一整天都有空了吧？可是，今天的午餐呢？午餐是寂寞的，是孤独的。第一次在学校找不到人吃午餐，这种感觉真难受。所以，我独自一个人到图书馆来用我的手提电脑。接下来的三个小时该怎么过去呢？ 可能在大约12.45pm 的时候我会去atrium买一个三文治，到我预定的aquamarine房间自己一个人孤独的吃午餐。感觉应该会是非常的凄凉，哈哈。今天因为atrium有活动，所以图书馆没有以往的安静，因为图书馆就在atrium楼上。

来到了理工学院就读了半年的书，第一次在学校里感觉非常陌生，仿佛我根本没来过这个地方。是不是因为今天IS　Ｍｏｄｕｌｅ的关系，　没和朋友见面，就少了些什么呢？从一点到三点，我能做什么呢？难道这三个小时我就会这样毫无目的的度过？

This is officially the 100th post on my blog!

Had a looooooooooong day today! Was lazy in the morning so I woke up at 8am and took a cab to school.. Zzz.. Should have met KC and took bus with him cause he saw 5 car bang together, I never see before, LOL! I don't mind being late for the stupid EIS prac =.=

Today EIS prac is like.. Erm.. 3 hours of GAMING?? Yes, GAMING! Nothing went into my ears today. Had lunch at Pines. While waiting for our food, deph suddenly said she saw KC, CK and gang. LOL, turned over and I really saw them. KC told me he was feeling that someone's spying him and that his handphone will ring, and it really rang cause I called him.. LOL.

Nat was dam funny today. I was telling deph and pam about her "li ge fei" joke in 4e5 and deph asked, "Do you know who is 孔明？" Nat said, "Of course!　孔明让梨 right?" LOL, that left us laughing till there's no tomorrow. IFF lecture + tutorial was next, boring, boring, boring..

Someone seems to be quite sending his attention on someone (will be named as her) today. But however someone else (called as she) is sending her attention to him also. Hmm, sounds complicated? Haha.. I shall not name who's the "she", but the "he" is someone close to me.. Guess yourself. :p The story goes like this.. HER is quite concerned about HIM's stuff, so I joking said HER has a liking for HIM. However, SHE is also asking me about HIM's stuff, therefore.. LOL. However, HIM is looking out more for HER. Today, HIM said jokingly that he will consider HER but not SHE while we were doing something we enjoy. . So, will HIM be psycho-ed by me to go and like HER or SHE? Like the 2-days incident..

Ok, enough of HIM HER SHE. Pool today was fun, but I was off form initially and managed to get back my form soon enough. However, my form got lost again! >.< KC and myself decided to visit another pool centre today, Mambo Billards. The ambience here is nice, better than Century Pool at BWC. KC suggested that we'll come here in future.. Why not? :p

Just sent Nian off to the bus stop after he had the house visit. He seems quite interested to rent my room, but however it's a bit too far from NP... >.< LOL, but I think there's still quite a high chance for him to choose here since he couldn't find any rooms till now.. Hmm.. He said he'll give me the answer by Sunday. How will it go? Well, see how bah.. If he really moves in then my house won't be so quiet anymore since there'll be 1 more person around.. Which is great! I hate places that are too quiet.. But my house is almost like always very quiet? LOL

9am lessons tomorrow...

It was quite an unusual day for me today. First thing in the morning, went out at about 6.30am (earliest this year other than the trip to Chiangmai) to meet jh at the Pioneer Mall Macdonalds. Since I didn't have any appetite for breakfast, I waited for him to finish and went off to the usual 185 bus stop to take 185 to Clementi, but before that he wants to go look for his special one.

Funny thing is, I was about to cross the road to the bus stop and I felt an aura surrounding me. I turned my head around and to my surprise, I saw KC! LOL! So zun lor =.= Win 4D also not so accurate lor.. Therefore, went with him to the bus stop to wait for 185. His famous sentence for today, "Why so early in the morning I see someone, so suay!" LOL, feel like punching him when he said that =X JKJK. After about 5 minutes, we see jh and his special person approaching the bus stop. Well, the special person went on bus 99 and the 3 of us embarked on our journey...

JH went to take MRT at Clementi to NYP while KC and myself took the NP Shuttle Bus. Well, another special thing today. I'm meeting Ahsee! LOL! Finally, after talking about it for like... 6 months? LOL!! Yes, finally met him today. He's quite a nice person to talk to in real, like in msn :p Just that I'm quite shocked when I first saw him cause he looks quite mature.. lol.

Anyway, I think KC is becoming more and more popular among the girls in my class for some reasons? Reb was like asking me tons of qns about him today xD Hmm.. KC, jia you ah! LOL.. Nian Yue will be coming over to my house to have a look and see if he wanna rent the room from me. Of course I truly hope he'll rent it, therefore I'll have someone to talk to and help me with my homework!!

Happy birthday Pam! Wish you have a wonderful 18 years old!

---

Celebrated Pam's birthday with her today, together with nat, px and deph. Funny thing is, I have to distract her from going to pizza hut too early so that nat could "smuggle" the cake in.. LOL? Here are some pics from today's celebration!








As you can see, some of Pam's more "unglam" looks have been captured!!! LOL!! First time doing this >:)

---

My phone gave up on me today. The part where you put the charger part in couldn't work. Shucks.. Why?? I dunno.. I just found out that a series of unhappy events happen when it's my birthday or friend's birthday..

KC's Birthday - "I don't want to go home!!"
Nat's Birthday - I fainted
My Birthday - JH's "kidnapping" incident
Pam's Birthday - Phone spoil

Hey guys, I'm not trying to say your birthdays are unlucky or whatever, just that the date is too coincidential...

Went to NYSS again for treatment.. Today's treatment is DAM PAIN lor!! All those squeezing of blackheads and whiteheads.. Almost screamed my lungs out.. I rather faint again =.= LOL

Anyway, captured some shots of my face while doing treatment.. YOU MIGHT GET A SHOCK IF YOU ARE NOT MENTALLY PREPARED!!!


This is the moisturizing mask! (about 15-20 mins)

And this is.. The hardening mask! (25-30 mins)

FYI, I took all these photos myself! LOL! I couldn't see anything at all, so I needed my "experience" in "zi pai" to help..

---

Today I had the most number of notes in my wallet. How many? 17 of them! Yes, 17! One $50, six $10, one $5, nine $2. That's the most number of notes I ever had in my wallet.. =.=

Carpenters - Yesterday Once More

When I was young
I’d listened to the radio
Waitin’ for my favorite songs
When they played I’d sing along
It made me smile

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they’d gone
But they’re back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well

(*) every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they’re starting to sing’s
So fine

When they get to the part
Where he’s breakin’ her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It’s yesterday once more

Lookin’ back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed

It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I’d memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away

Repeat (*)

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It’s yesterday once more

Repeat (*)

I've finished studying for:

Applied Statistics Topic 1
Business Finance Topic 1
Quantitative Logistics Analysis Topic 1

Next up: Enterprise Information Systems Topic 1

I realised it's hard to please everyone around me. Some friends might seem close to you but it might just be a show. No, I'm NOT referring to someone who is darn close to me, so don't make wild guesses. I'm referring to someone else.. Well, is it that I'm worrying too much? Does that blog post mean anything? It makes my heart feel uncomfortable after reading it.. But why? Might be as the Chinese saying goes.. 当局者迷，旁观者清. Please, tell me what went wrong..

It's never a good idea to be alone at home for the whole day. Looking at the wallpapers of both my computers, it reminds me of the happy times in Chiangmai again. The happy memories.. The more I think of it, the sadder I become. I just remembered, it's the 1 month anniversary of KC and myself 2nd 有难同当 in Chiangmai, the day when we mixed the cement together under the hot sun with our perspiration dripping like no tomorrow.

Gone were those happy times. Now it's back to our usual hectic school life again. I'm gonna aim for a GPA as close to 4 as possible. I know it's near impossible to get 4, so I can only aim for a grade close to that. However, how much will I get? 3.7? 3.8? 3.9? Or not even 3.0? I don't know.. I just hope for the better every time I get my feets down and study for real. My aim for this semester is to at least study for 8-10 hours other than school time ON MY OWN so as to get those grades up.

I know the satisfaction of scoring good results when you just had a very bad one.. Like how it happened to me in Sec 3 when I almost got transferred to N(A) in Sec 2. I won't let history repeat itself again!

It was a long day today. Went to school today for ASTATS tutorial. Well, quite ok.. Not too boring.. After tutorial, I went to the library to do some solo studying for about an hour..

The highlight of the day is a chilling session with KC, CK, lin and nat. We planned to study, but it seems like we did not manage at all, at least for KC and myself? Since KC and CK had lessons till 3, I went to the study room with lin and nat first. KC and CK joined us at about 3.30pm. Once they reached, KC and myself went outside to play a game of dota. We played against Bounty Hunter (Insane) and Omniknight (Insane). As expected, we won the game. :p

When we got back to the room, they were preparing to leave the room since there were not enough plugs. I noticed something darn unhappy.. I LOST MY ASTATS TEXTBOOK!!! I don't know how the hell it went missing.. Maybe I left it at the OPAC kiosk in the library.. :( I hope to find it back, if not it'll cost me $41.60 to get a new one! Ah well.. Played another 3 matches of dota with them. Since we were fighting lin and nat, it's expected that we'll lose. :p However, I was using Admiral Proudmoore and managed to first blood nat? O.o

After that, we went to BTFC to have our dinner. Well, home sweet home.. :P

More and more of my close friends are having unhappy things happening around them this week. Is it because I'm jinxed? Firstly, jh is feeling emo for no reason. Next, one of Ahsee's lecturer passed away which made him quite sad for some time. Lastly, KC's stomach was uncomfortable yesterday and he was completely not in the mood for pool yesterday.. Off form, I call it. Am I bringing the bad luck to everyone?

---

Lonely journey to school today for a 2 hour lesson: COMMUNICATION TOOLKIT. I heard it's a boring module so I actually didn't anticipate much from it. However, it wasn't as boring as I thought... Well, not much to say about this module. Just about public presentation skills and report writing..

Reached school at about 9.30am and walked to block 47 for my lesson. While reaching the class, I heard someone calling me. Oh, it was Yi Ning, one of my friends in sec sch. She thought she was calling the wrong person cuz she couldn't really recognise me, LOL! Well, cause I've lost lots of weight? :p

Went for lessons and it just went on like usual. We walked to the bus stop together and halfway through I saw ZR. Upon seeing him, he asked YN is she's from Shuqun Pri. She was so shocked lah! The 3 of us took bus 154 together. When ZR is about to reach his stop, YN suddenly said, "I remember you now!!". Is her processor abit too slow? We've been chatting for more than an hour =.= After ZR alighted, I asked YN if she knows his name. To my surprise, she doesn't know?!?!

Took 243W from JP back home and went to Pioneer Mall to buy lunch. I think I was too deep into my thoughts. While crossing the road, I stopped right in the MIDDLE of a lane for a car to go pass and when I turned my head.. A car is just beside me and about to bang into me!! I ALMOST GOT KNOCKED DOWN LOR! Fortunately I didn't get knocked down lah.. If not today ahsee's blog gonna write "I just received news that Yan Meng passed away today."

Well, I'm too pessimistic bah.. LOL!

---

Regarding the thing I was worrying about 2 days ago, I can almost be 100% sure that what I was guessing isn't true.. Woots!

It was a day of emo + funness. These 2 words don't mix together usually, but they came to me at different times of the day.

I was feeling darn cold this morning when I woke up. Took a shower at the HIGHEST temperature my heater can go and I was still shivering. What is happening? Oh well, I grabbed my jacket and embarked on a lonely journey to school.

First lesson today was EIS practical. As expected, it's a boring 3 hours to pass. Next, had lunch at alumni, slacked at blk 51 to await for International Freight Forwarding lecture. Well, i can say IFF is an interesting module for me. About half the module would be talking about.. AIRPLANES!!!! Or should I say.. Air Freight? No matter what, it's gonna be related to airplanes!!

After IFF lecture, I went off to meet KC first as lin and nat was packing. I thought they would only take like 5-10 minutes, but instead they took like.. 30 minutes?! Ah well, went for dinner at the muslim eatery opposite Beauty World. Waited like.. 30-45 minutes for them to serve our food?

Pool was next. Don't wish to mention more. Both of us was off form.

---

I've finally found what is missing in my life.. FAMILY WARMTH.

Hmm.. I guess I was just being over sensitive.. Can be 90% sure it wasn't what I guessed.. However..

THANKS WEIQUAN AKA AHSEE! For lending me the listening ear!

Sometimes I feel weird thinking about it. We were close, but now I feel a distance and gap between us. Communication between us seem to have lessened by a whole lot.

---

Experienced 3 new modules today. They are: Business Finance (BF), Enterprise Information System (EIS) and Applied Statistics (ASTATS / AS). BF was boring for me. It's something similar to econs.. Lots of memory work.

EIS is another one which requires memory work, I guess? Fortunately, this is a CA module. Our lecturer looks abit like Mark Lee.. LOL!

ASTATS is quite an interesting module as I see. For some reasons, it's the module that appeals to me most. Our ASTATS lecturer is also our advisor for this sem. He's quite into our hearts actually. He has a blog and msn too, which is able to keep in contact with modern teenagers like us. Although he's 41 this year, he doesn't look like he's 41. Looks like 30+, I guess?

Diary diary, please take my sorrows away..

School has reopened. After a hiatus of 8 weeks, I'm back to the busy life of studying and studying. This semester, I'm gonna work ten times as hard as last semester to achieve a GPA of >3.5. I know with determination, I can do it.

Had only Quantitative Logistics Analysis (QLA) lesson from 3pm - 4.30pm today. It looks like an interesting module, but who knows, it might turn boring in the midst of studying? Today is the time I paid the most attention during a lecture. Is it because I have nothing to do? Well, I'm not sure. My heart just tells me to listen to the lecture. It's gonna be a long day tomorrow and I'm unsure if I will survive the whole day of lessons and listening attentively. Projects and assignments are gonna start pouring in starting from tomorrow. Will I be able to cope?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHIN KUANG!

I might have known you for only a few months but you are a nice person to talk to. :)

In conjunction with CK's birthday, the WHOLE group 3 had an outing to Kbox! Yes, the WHOLE group. Woots, our very first full group 3 outing. Bought a small Chelsea football and water bottle for CK as his present, hope you like it! Ruby also bought a cake. Sang quite a lot of songs today. I managed to have a duet with almost everyone in the group except Dang and Violet. Ah too bad, cuz I'm only good in Chinese songs. >.<

I think my singing has improved by the little bit ever since I last went Kbox. At least I'm able to catch the tune? LOL! The first duet I had was with Nian, we sang Di Yi Tian by Stephanie Sun. Since it was just the start and we weren't warmed up, it came out funny. xD A funny one was with KC singing Yan Di Xing Kong by Li Sheng Jie. Both of us couldn't hit the high pitch so in the end it became a song full of "zao sia"! Sang the Hokkien Song, "Yi Bai Wan" with Zhong Rong and had fun suanning someone *coughKCcough* at the part about the aeroplane.. LOL! Although I know.. He taken a plane before already. :D I had sang tons of boy-girl duet songs with Ruby, one of them I remember was "Zhi Dui Ni You Gan Jue" by Farenheit and Hebe. That's the song where I think I performed best for today, I guess? Had a dam funny one with CK on "Shan Hu Hai" by Jay Zhou and Lara. Since I volunteered to sing the female part, I acted out a dam "ah gua" sound, LOL!

Last song we sang was "Get High" by FIR. This was when all of us, well, just me, KC, CK, Nian and Ruby was dam high and we screamed into the microphone as if like there's no tomorrow. Why was there only 5 of us? ZR had something to attend to and left at 6. Dang and Violet left shortly after. But overall, it was a very fun outing! Hope to have more of this in future!

School reopens tomorrow.. How will this semester be? Will the $2.35 incident repeat itself? No, I won't let it happen..

Counting up till today.. I have "officially" fainted thrice in my life. Why thrice? Only twice was made known to the public. The very first one was actually not really considered..

First time - Somewhere around 2006 / 2007

Woke up and went to the toilet. A few moments later, I felt a blackout. Fortunately, the toilet door was behind me to lessen the impact. Yeh, I knocked into the toilet door and woke up immediately.. That's why I don't consider it a faint.. :D

Second time - 3rd May 2008

Was sitting down in my living room eating some stuffs. Stood up and felt fainty. Few moments later, I find myself lying on the floor. xD

Third time - 11th Sept 2008

Self explanatory.. =.=

谭咏麟 - 朋友

A simple dedication to all my friends.. Especially those who have been with me through thick and thin. :D

It's a cantonese song, but take a careful look at the lyrics. It's a totally different version from Emil Chau's!! Lyrics are very meaningful.. :D

A month ago on this day, Daniel fainted in Chiangmai. xD

It's yet another long and tiring day with group 3.. Haha, group 3 just LOVES hanging out. :D Met up with KC at 11.30am today and went to JE to meet nian and CK. Here comes the funny part. Nian and CK is actually sitting right behind each other but they could not see each other.. LOL! We were laughing like hell thinking of that.

Took MRT to Bugis and slacked around a little before having lunch at Sim Lim Square. The things there is just EXPENSIVE. $3.50 for a bowl of Mee Hoon Kueh and $1.50 for a can of Soya Bean. That's how $5 just flew away. Oh anyway, I only brought $20 with me today. That's so unlike me.. Haha, but I want a totally new experience.. We walked around in Sim Lim Square after that.

Went around Bugis and continue slacking around, had an ice cream and continued to Bugis Junction for further slacking.. Lol? We went to the top floor and sat down outside the cinema. Since I was too bored while slacking, I decided to cam-whore. :p





Next stop was Tiong Bahru Plaza. We went there and entered the arcade. Played the 18-wheeler game with KC as my first "passenger" and nian as the second. I must say I have quite a hand for driving trucks.. Probably that can be my future? =.= Saw this luck game whereby you can win a Samsung / Nokia handphone. Brand new!! The previous player left at just ONE level to winning it. Therefore, I decided to give it a try. However after like 4 credits of tries, which is like 12 tries, I still did not manage to get it.. Ouch, pain leh.. >.< If I win it I'd really shout out loud. LOL!

Went to Mac and slacked again. Yes, just a day of slacking. Ruby came over to meet us and she was so blur to walk pass us without even noticing. She brought her boyfriend along today.. O.o Yes, forgot to mention about him. Her boyfriend is named Charlton. Quite a nice guy to talk to I must say. He's also my LMGT senior in NP. xD Took bus 195 to Mount Faber Safra, where HYSS Prom Nite was held. That's a great collection of memories for KC and myself. Went there and I started thinking of the day of Prom where everyone was dressed so nicely... Went to bowling and found out that there were no lanes available. Therefore, we decided to trek to Vivo. Before going, KC and myself took a couple of pics in front of the restaurant where we had our prom.





Memories were good at Prom. Both of us are back in the same place with a totally different image. Seeing the place again brings back totally wonderful memories.

We sat outside the pool centre where I noticed there is a good "scenery" for KC and myself to watch.. LOL! Well, too "lusty" to share it out. However, that left both of us with tons to talk about among ourselves.. LOL! After like 30 minutes of "good scenery", we climbed the stairs up to the Henderson Waves. Although it's very high up, it was totally not a challenge for me. Probably.. Thanks to Chiangmai? Ahh.. Walking exactly the same path at night is just totally different from how it is in the day. More creepy.. Finally, we reached Jewel Box at Mount Faber. Bought the cable car tickets for a cable car for a cable car ride from MF to Harbourfront, HF to Sentosa and Sentosa to HF. Quite a nice ride actually, I must say. However, needed to borrow 3 bucks from KC for the ride since I only had 10 bucks left and the ride was like $12.90..


First photo inside the cable car! However, my head kena chop into half =.=


Second photo, but Ruby and Charlton's head kena chop this time.. xD


Ruby, Charlton, Nian Yue


CK, me, KC


Just myself.. =D With CK's head in the background?

DINNER TIME! Had dinner at the food centre opp. Harbourfront. Char Kway Teow there only $2, Sugarcane only $1! Since I only had 25 cents left, KC was my saviour again. Yeh, borrowed $3 more from him.. So I owe him $6 in total? After dinner it's star gazing time! Well, not much stars to gaze actually.. Just sat there and talked abit and... HOME SWEET HOME! Took the MRT with KC, nian and CK. Nian and CK alighted at JE and KC and myself proceeded on to Boon Lay. Well, it's buddy talk time again. :P This time our topic was so secretive that I do not wish to reveal it.. =.= Ahh, but well.. :D

I covered 12.4km with my legs today
As according to KC

Wow, that's quite a long distance isn't it? Went out with KC and CK today, and Ruby joined us at a later time. Walked tons of places today. Mostly around the area in Raffles Place and City Hall. We actually went to the Esplanade too.. LOL! Well, I am not sure what to write actually, since it's too long and quite repetitive, but we don't seem to get bored of it.

Slacked in quite alot of places today, like Esplanade, Marina Square and Chinatown. My legs are still hurting from the whole trekking today.. 12.4km.. So long! 12.4km is like the distance from Boon Lay MRT to Dover MRT according to KC? Ahh.. Anyway, we went to meet Ruby at about 5.30pm and waited a while for her to come since she had to walk to us as she went to the wrong MRT station exit.. I finally know how KC feels when there's no money in your wallet.. I'm left with like $6 and we were trying to decide what to eat. In the end we ate KFC, spent like $6.15 (had $6.20) and left with 5 cents.. How pathetic!! The feeling is just like.. I can't describe it. However, I do understand the feeling of having only 5 cents in your wallet.

Tomorrow gonna be a long day again.. How will it be? Hehe.. We'll see.. :D

Went with KC to the swimming pool near our house for swim. Intended to swim only 10 laps, but in the end he psycho me to swim 16 laps with him. =.= LOL, but it's a good kind of psycho isn't it?

Anyway, went to lunch and had a haircut after that. Hmm.. This is how my hair looks now..



Well, it looks kinda ok actually. Anyway, went to pool with KC after that. ZR will be joining us today, wow, a fresh experience for me. :D Pool was ok today, but I kept giving ZR free balls.. I think gave him at least 4 when he's at the black ball and BOOM it went in.. =.= KC did a darn funny thing today. He wanted to hit a return ball but instead he did a jump ball and it went RIGHT into the hole.. LOL! I wish I could master it.. =.=

After pool went with both of them to IMM and took the 5.15pm shuttle bus to JP, had a walk around and guess who I saw?I saw ZY and SR there! They almost couldn't recognise me, LOL! Tomorrow and Friday will be group 3 day again. Might be just doing some window shopping tomorrow and will be going for bowling on Friday.. :D

Ah well, I feel that KC and me can almost read each other's mind soon. Twice today, once walking to JP and once walking back from JP he could simply guess what I was thinking. Does he have psychic or whatever? =.= Furthermore, he guessed it like.. 100% correct? LOL.. One of them is when I was thinking of the table number beside table 27 at k-pool.. He immediately asked me once I had that thought. Next is when we were talking about *ahem ahem* and he also got it dam correct.. =.=

Went out with KC and Nian today. Well, a small group 3 gathering, I suppose? :p JH, I'm not lying to you hor! Anyway, today's pool was fun since I'm promoted to become a lecturer for nian. KC's my "shifu", that makes him nian's "shi gong", LOL! Well, it's complicated LOL. Gave him lecture followed by tutorials, and then common test (against me) and then exam (against KC). Yeh, I have it planned out as if it's a poly module! Here is how the grades are being evened out...

Not in a very good mood. Lost a lot of matches in Big 2 just now in Viwawa. What's more, my computer chair went "PIAK!" and spoilt.

Some photos from yesterday's outing.. Enjoy!


Cam-whoreing starting in Wheelock Place, but an angmoh's in the background! xD

Taken in Far East, am I a little bit too "zi high"?


I managed to squeeze my face into this photo, LOL!


Mother and son :D


Photo taken in Swensens.. I look funny tho xD


ROAR! What have you done to me? :p


Yay!


KC's 2nd cup of water for the day? Gosh, he needs more water! :p


According to fran, she says KC is trying very hard to smile for this pic xD


Happy when our food arrived.. :D


Crayfish Pasta - Me!


Omelette - Fran!


Chilli Fish Pasta - KC!


Does it look nice enough for you? :p


Honestly, I have no idea fran took this shot of me =.=


Someone fell asleep again.. Zzz

I can only say that it was a fun day today. Met up with KC at about 11.15am and went to JP to take the MRT to Orchard. I'm sure you are thinking: Why am I going with him to Orchard out of a sudden? Well, cause we are meeting one of the friends we got to know in Chiangmai, Fran, AKA my dar. :p (Don't think too much, LOL!) Actually, I regretted doing one thing today: Styling my hair. Probably my hair's too long now, styling it is a chore. :p

I couldn't recognise her the very first time I saw her today, cause she was wearing abit "aunty".. I had to look dam closely la.. LOL! Went to mac for lunch, slacked till about 2pm and went shop-hop. Hmm, I didn't know the town area has so many shopping malls! Some of them we went were Wisma Atria, Ngee Ann City, The Cathay, Parkland, Plaza Sing, Heeren, The Shaw, Paragon and Lucky Plaza. Did I manage to name them all? Honestly, I dunno myself too! Anyway, I saw this curved escalator in Wheelock Place. Wow, I didn't know curved escalators exist! Haha yea, managed to capture a nice shot of it.

Something funny happened today. KC and me seems to have switched our "souls". Normally, he's the one who's always getting hungry, but today I got hungry easier than him. Also, he's always been the one getting tired easily, but it's my turn again today. Funny thing is, he's not hungry nor tired today? O.o Another thing was "switched" between us but I shall not name it.. Top secret :p Anyway, halfway throughout we switched our "souls" back again and I'm back to my normal self while he continues being tired, but not hungry. However, after a while our "souls" switched again. I became tired and hungry again while he's not tired nor hungry.. =.= Can someone tell me what's happening?

We actually slacked in The Shaw for quite a while. Like, 2-3 hours or so? Chatted about tons of stuffs, however some were just too secret between KC and myself to be shared.. LOL. Fran wanted to watch a movie and since her friends are in Plaza Sing (PS),she wanted to call us along to watch a movie. I was like.. Hmm.. Don't have any movie mood. Since KC says there's nothing to do too, he was persuading me to go and watch too. So.. Why is he persuading me? Cause normally I'm the one doing that. I think our "souls" have really switched today. Anyway, the way Fran persuaded me was darn funny. She kept pulling my jacket and pouting a bit, as if we're a couple like that. =.= But never mind la, since I know her character, LOL!

So, managed to be persuaded by her and went to PS to meet her friends to buy ticks. After that, went to Swensens for dinner. Since KC is quite broke, I paid 10 bucks for him for his meal while he paid the remaining 7 bucks himself. Sometimes I'm wondering why I like helping friends so much.. I enjoy it actually, cause I don't wish to see my friends so pitiful. What's more, he's not just a normal friend, he's a buddy to me. :p Watched "Eagle Eye" today. Was nice, action packed. However, I still don't get what is the story actually about? =.=

Went home with KC after the movie. Actually, it's funny leh. The peeps we see are either couples or big groups of people. For us, it's just 2 guys going home together late at night, which seems a little odd? O.o Managed to catch the last train at Dhoby Ghaut and also the last train at Raffles Place. I was thinking if we really miss the trains, it'll be GG for us lah. =.= I guess that'll be all for today, KO time!

Just decided to post a short diary about my weight losing~~ :D

July 2007 - 105kg
November 2007 - 100kg
January 2008 - 97kg
June 2008 - 95kg
August 2008 - 90kg
October 2008 - 85kg

Total weight lost: 20kg

It's a real good feeling to find that I have lost away the big tummy. Actually, I'm still unsure what made me lose weight, LOL! My target is 75kg.. Will I make it? :p

Today was yet another just-like-yesterday day. In the morning, met up with KC and jh for gym session. Saw KC while walking to the stadium but he refused to stop to wait for me even though I told him I saw him. -.- Managed to catch him at the lift, went up and jh arrived about 2-3 mins later.

Just did some usual cardio workout today. Mostly training on my leg muscles actually, lol. Anyway, went for lunch after gym, went home to shower, slacked abit and went for pool. Pool was just normal actually, nothing much to say. However, I play pool better when I am sleepy, dunno why?

---

Anyway, KC was asking me earlier on if I'd actually feel bored at home since I'm an only child. Since I have no siblings and both my parents are working, I'm alone at home most of the time. It's a total emptiness in my heart sometimes, as all I could see are walls in my house. There's absolutely no one for me to talk face-to-face to. Nowadays, I finally got to know the meaning of "bored until go crazy". Yep, it's easy to get crazy when you are bored. But what to do? Haix...

It was a long and tiring day. Guess what? I only slept at 7.30am today! Last night, was chatting with MSN with KC till about 2 and decided to go for a sleep. However after a while, I couldn't sleep so I decided to login to MSN again. This time, he went to watch his soccer match while I chatted with fran. Till about 3am, I decided to sleep. For some reasons, I was unable to sleep. I received an SMS from jie that she's free to have a chat on the phone, therefore I just called her. Funny thing is, this chat lasted for 3 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds. Ouch, just 1 second to 4 hours!

Alright, therefore I had a sleep till about 11.15am and went out to meet jh for pool. Find it funny? Usually I'd meet KC for pool, why jh this time? Well, continue reading.. Since KC told me his soccer match will last till about 5am, he wants to sleep more and therefore he will be joining us at a later time, therefore I met jh first for some solo pool. KC joined us at about 1.30pm. Today's pool was funny I can say. Both of them were off-form as they said, therefore they played quite badly in some matches. I actually saw jh's very pissed off face O.o. Ah well, I actually managed to win jh by 5 balls today, which is the best win ever since I played pool with him. The best best best of all was 6 balls which I won KC on Tues. :p

Went to Kopitiam to have my very very late lunch with both of them, but jh wanted to go off to sign contract so urgently. LOL! Ah well, so my lunch was just with KC and having some BT. Wanted to catch the 4.30pm shuttle bus back to JP, however we were too late so slacked around in IMM while waiting for the 5.15pm shuttle bus. Finally, we reached JP at about 5.30pm. Guess who we saw? Yes, we saw jh with *ahem* walking to sweetly side by side, LOL! It's real funny, actually. I was talking to KC and looking at his direction when I saw his face doing a very shocked expression and keep shouting "woah, woah, woah" and pointed to another direction. LOL, I got an extreme shock actually. -.-

That's all for today, I guess? Might be going to find RF jie tomorrow with KC, but maybe going for pool again. Sigh, see how first bah.. I just don't wanna stay at home or I'll really go crazy!!!

清迈的回忆

这次我参与了学校所举办的十四天清迈社会服务的团队。这会是我这十七年的生命中最难忘的十四天。为什么呢? 这次的行程可说是人生的另一个新体验。我体会到了没有电脑和电视机的日子，每天不间断工作的辛苦，和朋友一起吵吵闹闹的快乐。在出发之前，还以为在那儿会度秒如年。可是去了之后，可说是度年如秒！在那儿的时光实在太快乐了。真希望还有再一次机会让我体验一下。

我在这次行程中认识了不少朋友，有些是非常谈得来，有些是属于比较内向型的。虽然我不太认识有些人，可是至少走在路上也会人的对方吧！再怎么说也面对彼此十四天了嘛？如果时间能够倒流的话，我希望现在是九月十日凌晨，这样就代表着所我即将要出发到清迈了。我希望有一个小叮当，这样就能乘坐时光机器倒回到九月十日，重新体验清迈的回忆。

我们在清迈工作的时候时常听的一首歌曲就是动力火车的《我吃得起苦》，因为这首歌的歌词非常动人，能够激发我们把工作做得更好。看着一张张在那儿所拍的照片，一个个在那儿所录制的影片，让我想象我仿佛整个人还在清迈。这段回忆会在我脑海中浮现多久呢？会不会是永远的回忆，还是只是暂时性的回忆呢？我希望这会是个永远的回忆，因为就算下一次有多一个社会服务的团队，我相信参与的人会大大不同，再也找不回一模一样的人参与了。回忆实在是太多了，已经到了非笔墨所能形容的程度。这次只有好的回忆，没有坏的回忆。 可能有吧，那就是我昏倒的那时候。哈哈。

I have actually made a decision today: Own a diary book. I know a blog is good for pouring out sorrows but some are just to private to be shared. Actually I started writing a diary in Chiangmai when I found out that my results weren't too good. I really feel better after writing all my personal thoughts in my diary.

However, while writing my diary I will be thinking of my sorrows and it will cause my emotions to come out naturally. For example today, I was writing about my whole life in my diary (I do not wish to say everything out) and I almost broke out. This is the first time I almost broke out while writing about my life. Yes, it's saddening to recall the past for me. Very saddening. Especially about my results. Hope I will actually write a happy entry into my diary one day. Will I?

空虚

自从从清迈回来以后，我的心就好象缺少了什么，怎么填补也填补不了。 可能是习惯了两个星期不间断的工作，现在要我留在家里无所事事还真的是一件苦差。 空虚是一个能够填补的东西吗？ 到底要怎么样再不会感到空虚呢？ 我唯一的办法就是约我的兄弟恺峻打桌球， 然后在购物中心里毫无目的的走上老半天。 今天我又被困在这四个墙壁之间了。 我到底能不能够解脱呢？ 我恐怕如果继续呆在家里我迟早会变成神经病， 因为真的是太无聊了。 出门和呆在家里还真的是有天渊之别！！

明天我的命运还是个未知数，我到底能不能够从这个四面墙解脱呢？ 这是我人生中第二次感到这么空虚， 前所未有的空虚。。。 我好想约一些人出门走走，可是我到底能想到谁呢？ 朋友我算多不算多，算少不算少，可是要找到一个和我志同道合的朋友真的是犹如海底捞针。 看着我电脑墙纸上Group 3 的照片，令我想起了我们在清迈所度过的美好时光。 那十四天毫针的时令我体会到了人生中的酸甜苦辣， 和朋友们对我不离不弃的精神。 一件令我无比感动的事情就是我晕倒的时候。 许许多多我不太认识的人也跑来伸出援手，令我非常感动。 可是，我又能做什么呢？所谓： “时光一逝永不回，往事只能回味。 ” 看来我们在清迈的美好回忆只能留在我们的回忆中。

我有时觉得自己像是自己的木偶， 任由我的思想遥控，没有自己的思想。 不够了解我的人好可能不知道， 我的行为举止和我的思想有时是两个非常不同的东西。 到底有谁了解呢？ 空虚的心灵， 只有适当的事情才能填补。 不是任何东西能够做到的。 比如在建屋子的时候， 你不能用做蛋糕的面粉来取代石灰啊！ 我空虚的心到底要用什么来填补？ 我自己也不知道。 有没有人能够告诉我呢？
