Why did i not update this blog for such a long time

2007-01-21T05:16:00.000+08:00

My dear friends, I have not been updating this blog for such a long time due to many things that happened in this short frame of almost 1 year.

The summary of the whole time i did not update this blog was related to work, r/s, breakup, commitments, family, tour to aussie, personal issues, loads of new interesting friends, too many places to go, halloween, demanding projects to complete, reports and of course, sleep. Too many things too fast too soon.

Nowadays I tend to require more sleep. Seems like age is getting in my way. I am no longer able to take long days and hang out until late night and still resume my daily routine the next day.

Thanks for reading. I will try to continue to update when I can.

work life does not exist work process does.

2006-03-27T00:37:00.000+08:00

work is not life, there is no such thing as work life. Balancing work and life is suicide; detrimental to health. 1 of it has gotta win; and we all know the answer. Are you already in the work process? or are u headed that way?

Why is it called work process and not a life, because it is predictable and follows a rigid plan everyday from monday to friday (and saturday or sunday for some others). A life allows an individual the freedom to choose his actions and plan/ or simply NOT plan for any activities.

In work process, all the activities that must be done, has an uncanny flow of sequence everyday, even in the office, the processes are highly functional. e.g. 10am is teabreak, 12noon is lunchtime until 1pm. Work responsibilities/ work politics/ work communications/ working hours/etc. The meaning of work is linked to its functions. Since when does anybody ENJOY a functional life? I dont. Maybe you?

Office politics is fun. You win some You lose some, what matters is the nett support u get out of the seeds u sow.

Enjoy your life while u can, maybe if u still dont get it, u can still have a 2nd shot at understanding and living a iife after u retire. hah. Meanwhile I will get back to preparation for the life-less work.

so many things happened, pre-merry christmas

2005-12-08T03:09:00.000+08:00

sis is back wif her bf! mich is also back! work work work, and of coz, ck's gotten his new PC, yea cool. christmas is the time when everybody want to change old things for new ones. THE shopping season.

Ginny & food wastage

ppc

2005-10-30T17:27:00.000+08:00

ppc- pocket pc. ok so anyway it was cool, i mean my new pocket pc HP ipaq hw6515. yeps played around wif it and found out that it's actually a smaller version of my laptop. what i can do wif it? hmm, access anything on internet using wireless LAN, including surf net, download stuff, login to email, play mp3, play video, make phone calls, use as organiser cos in the pda got an exact copy of microsoft outlook that has contact list and email inbox functions.

i forgot, got MSN messenger also, got microsoft word and excel also, and has a keypad so can use it like a handphone (dont need to use the stylus pen poke poke letter by letter). oh got bluetooth and infrared for ease of contact and file transferring.

1.3megapixels digicam, SDcard slot, mini SD slot, GPS built-in and i tested it out wif the singapore road map&tracking software which works great. So nex time i go driving i can take directions from it.

btw, friday nite was spend at DXO, the club at esplanade. OK it was a fun place with the special thing being the roof of the club cos it's like an open air lounge with jazzy music and zen kinda layout. wooden texture and a great view of the night sky. cover charge $18 with two free drinks. and luckily their drinks not diluted type. good service attitude from their staff too! i think they have free entry before 10pm. So i took a pic with my new pocketPC whilst i was chilling out on rooftop.

somehow i cannot experience the anxiety and worriedness of the other sch-mates already.

It is not because I'm not afraid, but rather it seems that for them they fear that bad things comes when they dont do well, and they stop there, not willing to think beyond this bad thing(that will happen) and the fear.

Hmm, somehow I dont sense any bad things coming my way regardless of the results.You may want to ask me why...

How could they see what I see? But on the contrary, i can see what they see (fear), and I can also see that beyond that, there is hope and light.

Blinded by fear and hopelessness, it cripples. This is what they see, safety, assurance, low-risk, no-risk. Being in a geographically stable location here, most of them have almost no idea what happens during a disaster and what is more important than books.

I am not here to preach. Just to reveal abit of what I see and value.

do stunt

2005-10-03T13:11:00.000+08:00

ok, so here is the big plan.
This week is the big stunt. Unbelievable but have to be done this way. Ask me if you have the time ok? I dont wana spill the beans here. Heard gd news from Gin about J. Congrats the both of u.

Meanwhile I'll be on the lookout for a gd gal to call my own, heh.

Yeps, exams suxx, but the society demands paper qualification so must endure...

Ginny's bday!

2005-09-28T02:07:00.000+08:00

it's the 28th Gin's bday! Happy bday gin. too bad she's over @ melbourne and cant be here so we cannot celebrate for her.

Anyway, i've been skyping wif sis and other frens. really great to hear that they're all doing fine. life in aussy, oh so slow; nothing is available after 5pm. salary is so high, tax too. I wonder if she's gonna work there after grad.

Been busy with wrk and studies yaa. So for this entrepreneurial project I was involved in researching about online streaming media. So i'm here to share my findings. and YES it's totally free.
http://tv4all.com/portal.htm

it's so convenient, only clicks away, you get to watch tv channels from other countries without paying. Many countries to choose from. You can learn their language, the ongoing news, fashion and products. etc. go ahead, click on the link above....

MIA?

2005-09-18T13:00:00.000+08:00

Wondered where I've disappeared to? Heh, I've been caught up with many things. However still managed to catch up wif frens quite often yaa. E.g. was able to roam the streets @ two nites ago.And yday was very fruitful too. Hmm still got things to handle yaa, like those projects.

Since it was mooncake festival, everybody bought mooncakes to eat! For my family we tried quite some mooncakes: Mei zhen xiang, swensons' icecream mooncake, goodwood park (not sweet) mooncake, lavender mooncake. Anymore recommendations? :)

squeezed

2005-08-30T04:08:00.000+08:00

this is the times when many breakups occur. friends' cry for attention and help. project deadlines close in like nobody's business. the realisation that there are way too many things to catch up on. Above all, there is not enough time to sleep. but all is under control and there is proper management. would you argue that with proper management there should be ample time for sleep and other self-actualisation activities?

cyclic

2005-08-24T16:15:00.000+08:00

wondering what i've been doing for the past few weeks besides being sick?
sleep, focus on nutrition&health, handle multiple group projects, manage deadlines, go out
even now is the same, yes, check email is only a small small portion of it all, ever wondered how come some pple can jus have neverending emails? think

medicine does not always work

2005-08-16T16:06:00.000+08:00

so i was sick for the past week. seen a doc, finished the course of medicine but did not recover. hmm so what would your reaction be? see the doc again and get another dose of different medicine? omg, medicine is synthetic drug and chemicals lor, i dont wana be feasting on a cocktail of such things, the side effects of the previous medicine were pretty obvious. yaa those are VISIBLE side effects, think about invisible side effects? there is no drug in the world without side effects simply because drugs are not natural. go check it out on google before u realise it too late.

and so instead of taking medicine, i tried plant extracts. cactus extract in fact. most pple would be wondering if i am jus testing things out. NO, if you are knowledgeable in the field of immunology, you would know that research has been done on this. yup, true enough, about 2days after, i recovered, comparing to the previous 1+ week of medicine which did not cure me.

sick!!

2005-08-10T03:07:00.000+08:00

how unlucky to fall sick just before national day. hah anyway nite life is back. so yesterday jon popped by for a visit @ erm like 6am after he was done with his stuff. yea so we chat and discussed issues until like 7am then went for breakfast!! omg how long i havent had breakfast liao!

and it was like 10am before i finally get to sleep. YEA NATIONAL DAY 05!

hello anybody there???

2005-08-07T04:02:00.000+08:00

it's been a long time since i started wondering if anybody is actually reading my blog. the posts at tagboard stopped for a long time. yes i know i'm busy and dont really blog much, but that doesnt mean it WILL continue to be like this. busy time is only some short periods of time, after which I am free to roam the streets again.

heard of exfoliating lotion from Clinique? the smoothening effect is uber!!! go test the product today at any counter. I would recommend the taka counter cos the counter manager is very good; she knows her stuff. so they would actually apply some of it on your wrist and rub with cotton pad. yup yup, the rest you go find out for yourself laa.

yet another cosy pub

2005-07-28T05:29:00.000+08:00

0ok last week i was at this pub in valleypoint @ tiong bahru/redhill area; detention class
drinks were averagely priced but the atmosphere was really tranquil. like having mostly mature crowd, more recommended to bring your own bunch of friends there. it's a ktv pub with a pool table. mature non-smokey crowd. lotsa sitting place cos not crowded.
27th aug

along the way walking to detention class

adaptation

2005-07-19T16:31:00.000+08:00

the new diet has been going on almost a week. i can see a future in it already! anyway Jon and I have been able to resume night life, roaming the streets.

So dinner(selective) was at this Gluttons' square in esplanade, you cant miss it, it's an open air hawker concept. If you buy drinks from the drinks stall you'll realise the words "makansutra" on it. Rumours say that the people who started the "makansutra" book was related to this business.

Drinking session was at CAN cafe (bugis) chilling out with gin and gang. wow she's returning to aussy within these few days. So the group jeered at me when I ordered fruits and vegetable drinks.

and after that gin and gang went home while me and jon continued to do catching up, walking from bugis to burlington square then to the 24hrs hawker next to the Le Meridian. and of cos, i took a merc cab home.

new blog for the experiment

2005-07-16T19:01:00.000+08:00

so there is a new blog which i use to store the experiment log.
it's at nomeatnoveggy.blogspot.com

al majlis

2005-07-06T06:05:00.000+08:00

So it was gin's recommendation today for dinner @ AL MAJLIS. it is at arab street. wah super rip off. i seriously think if u want anything similar, go to jack's place. But thanks anyway gin. so the attendance was 7 pple today. AL MAJLIS drinks are at $2 onwards and main courses below $15.

i forgot i still havent finish my deg hah

when is sch starting?

2005-07-02T03:37:00.000+08:00

it's not that i missed sch, it's just that i didnt know when it would start. haha sometimes wondering if I'm still having the mindset of a student like to rest of the students in sch.

anyway it's early morning now on a saturday. just now been wif gin & PL to this pub along pervis street near bugis. the pub is called "addicted place" or was it "addicted room". yaa the drinks there are super cheap. IMO even cheaper than MOMO cos u dont have to be a member to buy bottles@$100 ea. but the place is awefully cram and smokey. otherwise the crowd also mature.

hmm weekend is fully booked again. meanwhile gotta focus on my driving and practise practise practise.
but somehow the night rituals stopped, prolly cos nobody willing to hang out wif me until so late anymore, so now slp has replaced it all, slp slp slp. I'm usually at home before 1am every night nowadays, online and stuff yea. Maybe it's one of those times when I hav to handle my deferred issues and along the way save up some$ as well. goodnite

lerk thai

2005-06-27T05:07:00.000+08:00

another sunday over.

lunch outing wif ck, gin , mon & some new irc frens. hmm lerk thai food is really not bad and definitely not really spicy. yumyum green curry! each of us went off satisfied wif the food paying about $11.

heh, it was a gd lunch. after lunch was another, Primary sch gathering which was not bad; havent seem 'em for a long long time.

seems like everybody is enjoying their holidays.

hmmm, anyway we got nothing much to do so went to taka walk walk. thru certain level of my "interrogation", it seemed Clinique's men's products were the best amongst the other counters i went to check out: biotherm,clarins,clinique,lancome.

ok someone's back

2005-06-17T01:55:00.000+08:00

thursday evening: wokup@6pm again.
guess wat, gin's back. wahlau bad girl wanabe. haha act gothic only. anyway tomoro is first driving prac lesson! hmm interesting~ hope i dont wreck the car.

saturday bash

2005-06-12T08:05:00.000+08:00

heyheyhey it's 8+am again sunday mornin'.

last nite went to central mall's new club "MOMO", got to meet Robin leong there, and has been rumoured that alot of other celebraties go there.

Cool place. Mature audience(no kiddos), cover$18(i guess), annual membership($399, drinks@50% off).
Music is alike phuture/zouk haha.

But the combination of a good crowd, good price for drinks and good music/atmosphere makes it recommendable to u pple out there!!!

i still cant believe it, 1 bottle of hard liquor of any type cost less than $120.( dont believe? i got receipt)

ok "goodnight"...

again

2005-06-07T07:11:00.000+08:00

once again 7.15am on this bright and sunny tuesday morning. radio whispering@ the background. it's bedtime. yawnz*

JUNE 2005

2005-06-05T05:34:00.000+08:00

hmm weekend yey! now is 5:43am on sunday dawn hoho!
ok so friday nite was chilling out @ "union square"(salsa bar) located at the 2nd floor of amara hotel where we find all the salsa enthusiasts. I'm not a salsa person but went there to check it out wif frens. hmm friday nite was ladies nite so no cover, freeflow drinks. lotsa dancers. guys entry $15+2housepour. drinks and cover are damn cheap on weekdays thou.

anyway the crowd there was great entertainment. guys went around asking girls for a dance. pple of ages 20 and up there. haha and a lil' corner for those who wana watch soccer.

so that was yday lar, so saturday nite was betta. went to this dimsum place@ suntec nex to country manna(or was it?), amazingly priced dimsum @ suntec i must comment. so affordable. the prawn dishes were very fresh, exceptionally fresh. then after that was hanging out nearby @paulaner brauhers located at millenia walk (www.paulaner.com.sg).

yea go try the munich dark there, thirst quencher! surprisingly for a beer. anyway it's one of the two micro brewery in sg; that means they serve fresh beer. all those beer u find like tiger/heinekein/carlsburg..etc are all preserved that's why so bitter.

oh thru-out the week also went to check out the "inner-beauty" of my 1kg notebook (toshiba r150)

My precious 1kg	underneath the beauty

hmm you know what? after blogging on sunday, i slept till a whooping 6pm! omg. anyway to try and adjust back my sleeping pattern, i skipped my slp; staying awake from sunday 6pm until monday 6pm. i was trying to hold out until like 10pm when i can finally tune back to a better slp pattern. arg, but i poofed out on my bed at 6pm instead of 10pm. hmm, slept past dinner into the early morning3am.

omg, such weird timing again. so wokeup &warmed up my chilling dinner in the refrigerator. had a very tranquil dinner over scv TV@4am. and after dinner here i am now 5.45am blogging lor. guess all u pple are still sleeping as i blog.who wana go breakfast?

wokeup to find dinner chill'in in da fridge	all prepared for sunrise, my fav sachet green tea piping hot

night-roaming

2005-05-29T08:16:00.000+08:00

yep it's 8+am on a sunday morning, the last thing i knew was waking up@4pm on saturday afternoon.

so today nothing much in the evening, got outta da house@10+pm. gotta meetup wif jon&chris. haha today was funny shit cos i havent been taking the wrong bus for a long time. so today i mistoke 132 for 32 and ended up at a wrong place. the mistake was made cos 132 was behind another lower deck bus, so when i got to see 32, i threw away my drink and hopped on not knowing that i didnt see the "1" in front of the "32".

hah anyway after the meetup @ 11.15pm, we left @12midnite. chris went home, jon and i decided to hit jeffrey's place@bugis near liangseah street so we took a bus. hah jon tried the muthurbak, it was not bad. then after that we decided to find a place to sit down for chats @boat quay.

haha but ended up we walked clarke quay, boat quay, mohammad sultan, walked past doubleO,mdm wongs,frontpage and the whole of mohammad sultan, walked rivervalley area too. finding a gd place to sit down haha, finally we ended up @ a little eatery near tiong bahru plaza. woah we started walking @ 2 ended walking at about 4+, left the eatery to walk to tiong bahru mrt and hang around the 7/11 until about 6.20am when there was mrt!

after a lil breakfast and a lil bath, here I am blogging before i finally retire for the "nite". hmm, anyone interested to "night-trek" nex time? all are welcome! today total hangout expenditure for me=$5(mrt.snacks&drinks) walk&talk is free1 haha.

"killing me softly"

2005-05-28T03:49:00.000+08:00

hmm havent been blogging for quite a while eh? dear readers if u want more, pls leave me a tag la ok? anyways i've been slping late recently. really late. like early morning. hmm if i didnt remember wrongly now is saturday morning 3.50am, still chatting wif jon and gin on MSN whaha.

yes back to topic about the sleeping "early" issue. wednesday&thursday i slept at 8am. friday even better slept at 11am. wheeeee. hmm now's about 4am, hoho i wokeup like 12hrs ago!

gin's been up no as late as me these days but at least half my power la. i remember when i wokeup on thursday i was already sick wif flu and fever. now still flu.zzz

friday was exceptional cos i only ate1meal in that day. today 1 meal again whahah dinner. wat do u call that breakfast + lunch + dinner = brunner?

hmm but i definitely know that sleeping so late will hav adverse effects on my health la. anyway i've been refreshing my web designing skills once again, should be redoing this website template soon. just did ginny's template (click here to check it out)

results for exam jus came out this afternoon, i flunk one. zzz. not sad or anything. just traced the cause to a bad combination that i overlooked. little screwy things pile up to cause a gd sabo. so nex sem gonna be spending extra time in sch redoing this subj which is quite boring.

anyways how come u all stop writing stuff on my tagboard already? where u all go? holiday rite? forget about me liao la...

>>>oh and a beautiful butterfly flew into my room this evening. so i took a couple'f pics. watcha think of it?

the force is strong with this weekend

2005-05-23T17:04:00.000+08:00

saturday nite was an impromptu starwars appointment wif me and max and jon. last min decided at5 then movie was seven haha! the meetup was abit screwup until dinner was postponed.

jon rushed home for FA cup finals while me and max proceed to tiong bahru hawker for famous food. arg didnt ask jon to recommend so we jus tried some stuffz: hokkien mee, cha kuay teow, stingray!

after that i tried the dimsum stall there. seems like alot of pple que up, somemore got 1 auntie in front of me can buy $15 worth of dimsum!!! and she's not fat. hmm must be gd stuff. i noticed alot of pple bought bao so i also tried. the guy in front of me swept up all the cha siew bao so i'm only left wif the choice of lianrong bao. zzz but when i sank my teeth into it, oh! such melty texture! as for the other dimsum, i tried hargao and siewmai, hmm not very gd leh.

sunday nite was equally impromptu, jon replied my call at 9.30pm, then i flew to cityhall. reaching like almost 11. wahhaha then begun the journey in search of kopitiams to makan and drink. the hanging out lasted until like 4 before we took a cab. reached home@ 5, online till 7plus. i guess must be the teh tarik keeping me awake.

pre-weekend!

2005-05-21T04:02:00.000+08:00

hectic day running around to get stuff done and buy stuffz too.

thurs nite, went to boat quay wif jonathan for dinner and checked out the place. hmm quite quiet and dangerous.intended to go to a gd place to chill out but was fully booked so instead we went to checkout chinatown partyworld, zzz also got quite some pple sing hall.

so must be sing @room lor. then first thing that comes to mind is kbox! so yea walked to lucky chinatown kbox. hmm there's another big screen karaoke at the top floor but the crowd was not suitable la. so we went to level3 the kbox. haha 11-3am great! couldnt finish the que list again! zzz

friday nite: met up wif old jc frens for dinner & kbox! again! but somehow i managed cos got help from them! we sang merrily, solos, duets, trios, all togethers. fun! but somehow the fun ended @ about 1+am when they had to leave. so i went back to my cosy room to do this blog. heh. chill~

2005-05-14T21:55:00.000+08:00

hmm friday nite (13th may!)
hehe chill out time once again! met jon @ emerald and had dinner at the foodcourt like last week. the yong tau hu there is great, meal number1 $3.50 filling siah.

after that went to check out spinelli's @ HMV, zzz fully occupied. across the road the coffeeclub also got long que.
sigh then we decided on Mr Bean, but b4 that went pass the dhoby ghaut mrt and i suggested maybe go check out the arcade. whahahaha, then ended up playing quite a while there.

so off to Mr Bean for chats and drinks... Omg the ice chocolate&icecream there made me more thirsty!! and after that we walked to the prata place opposite bugis junction near liang seah street. haha then we went into parco to look for ATM, walking around felt like in a real game of counterstrike cos there was not a single soul in the shopping complex, we went everywhere until ended up @ bras basah complex to withdraw cash. then walk all the way back to the prata shop.

jon made me try the bee hoon goreng, hmm tasted like the spicy version of xing1 zhou1 meefen(the normal beehoon u find @ chinese zicha stalls)

then after makan and chats was off to take cab, talk and walk until boat quey there then take cab. haha and MUST be merz cab hor! wat a fun weekend

roaming the night

2005-05-09T02:49:00.000+08:00

sunday again,
as usual slept into the afternoon, and pretty much hung around @ home! it's mothers' day!

but of coz, at night is roaming time. out walking and drinking kopi wif jonathan again. this time i suggested something new since everytime we sat down to chat over kopi; so we walked up and down orchard while chatting. haha surprisingly the focus on the conversation was so high that we walked from HMV to parklane and to Tangs then underpass and detour to taka and to swensons! sat down got a drink then walk again to borders then took cab home whahahhaha.

walkin' the night... yea....

hoho, later in the morning is final theory evaluation for driving: FTE, which i need to pass then can go take the FTT (which is basically advanced theory for the driving license) haha. and guess wat? i havent even read the book. hmm when was the last time i took basic theory? 1yr ago! hehe :p

first time trying hall

2005-05-06T03:06:00.000+08:00

Thurs 05May05,
morning: sleep
afternoon: wokeup at 3.30pm yea, long time havent been doing such lifestyle.

hmm today gonna chill out and relak cos tomoro onwards quite packed until nex week; got plans.
Spent my waiting time @ lucky plaza and discovered that there are two "ATF" shops there, the same ATF branches that could be found @ simlim (which has like 4-5branches already!), omg, they're really expanding or rather spreading like virus.

So dinner was @ far east plaza top floor the zicha shop(been a regular customer since the first time gin intro-ed me there like a year ago). i cant remember the name, it was something SNACK. anyways, i ordered a new sidedish to try: fried baby squid. OH MY GOD, it tasted so horrid. the rest was as usual: GOOD.

so after dinner was walking around @ far east. hmm then duno why ended up @ partyworld orchard. hmm first time try singing at hall, hmm quite cheap leh weekday nights $17 per person and also not much pple. yea at first there was like stage fright when i realised that alot of pple will be hearing wat i sing, like the pple walking in and out of the ktv and the counter staff. but anyways, paid already so gotta muster up the courage and open the mouth letting the voice fill the place.

and on the way home on a merz cab,i was curious so i asked the uncle wat's the diff in charges wif normal taxi and merz taxi, he declared there was none, the difference was that the taxi they were driving is diff but same charges!!!

end of exam,back to RJ's lifestyle

2005-05-06T02:49:00.000+08:00

Wed 04May05, last paper ended at noon,marking the return to my lifestyle.

action begun @nite. went to TCC@ holland v for dinner&coffee! yumyum! the "Mongolian chicken chop with coconut curry sauce" is really great with a fun curry taste. and this 3layered coffee with a mint leaf on top(i forgot the name). really cool. chats as usual.

after that was kbox-ing at clementi cos the dang partyworld hall closed at 2 when we arrived it was like 12+. Was curious about wat ladies' nite, members' nite and gents' nite promo going on so asked the counter girl. she explained it as: ladies nite= ladies no cover charge but need to order a compulsory drink&charge accordingly, the guys tagging along will be charged normal rates!! so actually erm, it's NOT a gd promo, but rather a scam!!

after singing was another session of drinks & chat at my downstairs the market with indian coffeeshop. simple $1.20 kopi and tea brought us from 2.30 till 4.30. then was off to petrol kiosk to grab a drink and walk abit after sitting down for so long. the remainder of the chat from 4.30-6am was spent at my void deck chatting.

for those of u who wonder wat's there to chat about for so long, hmm, i guess u jus gotta get in tune to the same frequency as me, then topics will start popping out in conversations.

chill out

2005-05-01T04:26:00.000+08:00

sat 30th APR05, quote of the month:"fear is a choice"
morning: slept it away
afternoon: went to sch study some stuff to prep for the FINAL paper on coming wed.

action begun after 7.30pm; Jonathan replied my sms, saying he was at bugis and off i flew outta sch. we decided to goto the same bar we went to last last week. jus nex to suntec. chatting from the moment we met to LJS dinner @ millenia walk then into the bar still chatting. great mature crowd, gd freshly brewed beer and great contemporary music, and got soccer to watch on their many TVs too.

after drinking, we walked to liang seah street at bugis to continue chatting over drinks and he also needed to grab a bite. woah, it was like 3+am when we boarded the cab home. haha once again, another great nite of talking,debating,analysing,sharing info,planning future,reflection on past mistakes,criticisms,appraisals,sales,recommendations,comments,almost everything under the sun. :)

no studying cos it's SATURDAY nite

2005-04-17T18:28:00.000+08:00

hmm yesterday, wokeup @ 1.30 then went for a short haircut, zzz the hairstylist cut it too short. anyways it can be fixed with a lil' improvising. went to sch to study for abit, met zhiwei and shuyun.

decided to ask Jonathan for dinner. so he returned my call after ages but we still got a night-out planned nevertheless. dinner was at the busy NYDC (HMV) and we had long chats (non-academic) of course. then ended up at clementi KBOX instead of the cineleisure1 cos we both would have to incur exaggerating taxi fares after that.

i shan't go down to the technicals of the singing sessions thou it was really funny and a great learning experience as usual, comments, criticisms and self-discoveries. mum and dad were calling to nag before i finally went home cos, it's the same "you should be spending more time studying or to sleep early". the session was great from 11.30-3am.

then i went home to surf for abit. haha then i came across another playful one: Weijie!. she was back in hostel only abit before me (@2am). haha so coincidental, also picked a saturday to go chill out, and away from studies.. hehe

new haircut+colour

in sch studying on a sunday?!?

I miss you and you and all of you

2005-04-14T11:18:00.000+08:00

yea, dang rite 6 days to first paper. glad to hear tat gin's been keeping up her hyper life and not confined to boredom and papers @home. I've been gaining more confidence gradually as i study more. But not as much as last semester hmm.

I miss all of you my frens(you know who you are pips!). I'll make sure i ask u all out 1by1 after exams over coffee and maybe dinner,ktv,walk orchard, browse anime, watever u want.

ok so now i suddenly my goal to complete my driving lessons before december, so i'll be off to book lessons and check schedules yaa :) chill~

a whole new beginning

2005-04-05T00:47:00.000+08:00

ok havent been blogging cos been going out. finally gotta meet jes. it's quite cool to live like at 2 different ends of sg. meeting up suxx cos the only available places to meet are central to be fair.

hoho, exams count down in 15days. i feel the excitement; the feeling duno-ness. question-marks are all i see when i attempt exam paper questions, or read notes. it's always the same stuff i ask, everyday, why do i need to study so hard for a paper which might i not even use next time. WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE HOW, these are not words asked by kids, but words of human nature, it is human and their peer pressure that suppresses such instinct.

back to school on sunday

2005-03-27T20:52:00.001+08:00

Sunday's NTU

scene of a rainy afternoon on s bus ride to school

fruitful saturday

2005-03-27T13:35:00.000+08:00

yesterday(saturday)morning was off to breakfast wif lawrence to discuss some ongoing agenda. then off to sell away my laptop. and met huangyi @ central before lunch, talked abit and gotten some info on IA. afternoon was spent in sch studying/revision.

night was kbox-ing wif jonathan. we decided not to try the usual spots, instead we went to paradiz. Omg they hav really huge function rooms with a stage for the singer and lotsa tables and couches for the audience. did alot of experimenting with throat and diaphragm and we both got a better idea on how to differentiate. well if you wana hear the difference, you definitely must turn off the echo on the mixer.

after 1, we went across the road to "Mr Bean" for coffee and chat, whilst he also can get to watch his soccer. chat up quite alot of stuffz until 3 when we finally went home.

and as for today(sunday), i'm heading to sch later to study/revise as usual. at night defaulted to dinner at home unless otherwise.

dreaded

2005-03-25T21:19:00.000+08:00

the truth is out. the problem wif my voice wasnt much to do with the mic cos i bought the touted "best in the world vocal mic" SHURE SM55. at first i tot it was some advertising fad, but when i typed it into google to search, it was all over the pages!

boring friday(GOOD FRIDAY) i guess. but been playing around wif new mic and recordings. very fun. I mean few people have the chance to hear what they're singing from a 3rd person point of view.

strive for excellence

2005-03-24T03:40:00.000+08:00

discovered what is the difference between using throat to sing and diaphragm. Omg, gotta kick the bad habit of using throat already, if not wont improve. so now need to find out whether the mic i used for recording got problem or is it my bad habit of using throat as well.

waiting

2005-03-22T23:13:00.000+08:00

studying days, nothing interesting really.
however i did make progress besides my studies. it's song/melody discoveries.
here they are, my recommendations:
温岚 - 北斗星
TENSION - 感情线
陶吉吉 - 流沙

my sky is grey

2005-03-20T04:26:00.000+08:00

nothing much, went to sch on a saturday to do revision on my exam papers until 6pm wif shunrong and yeechee my study buddies. then was too late to arrange anything so jus went to JP for a simple LJS dinner + a lil talk with lawrence on his new plans.

"why do i have to wait until after exams" is still the quote i leave with anyone who is reading this. cos it's been deeply engraved in my heart. yes, exams are important, but sometimes for something that you want to happen, you have to have the chance+(the right) actions , then the possibility will be created. when the chance is gone, the possibility never returns.

weekend didnt felt like weekend

2005-03-16T02:27:00.000+08:00

paisei la, i forgot to blog already la u guys. friday nothing much, saturday nothing much.
well at least i gotta chillout on sunday nite wif a bunch of frens namely melissa,amanda they all. it was great to meet 'em. got myself updated wif lotsa info from the workin' scene heh. woken up my idea. sculpted more on my ideals.

dinner was @ far east top floor zicha followed by coffeebean@paragon; and mel actually tot that there was a coffeeclub @ paragon.

monday was boring. today was tiring: went to sch, went to simlim to buy stuff then came home.

ultra GOOD haircut, did i mention it's cheap?

2005-03-10T18:36:00.000+08:00

ok i'm not here to advertise for 'em, jus wana share my good experience. so after sch today, i decided to get a haircut @ "EC house", a place that i never tried before. I've got this idea that as long as they cut as i instructed, the styling i can always do by myself.

and I was right! i went there and asked for a japanese hairstyle, the hairstylist told me that i need to give her detailed instructions to cut cos there are no catalogue to browse and no default style. haha! best.. why? cos u get to cut watever u want @ $10 ?!?!?

hmm so roughly 5mins was spent telling her wat i want, or rather wat i dont want(too short). ok so after the experience, i urge all who know wat they wana cut, to go EC house and save$.

omg, i've jus saved myself a whole load of $, cos no need to goto "shunji matsuo" get haircut already.

oops, sounding like salesman liao. :)

tips: go with freshly washed hair and dont apply anything, or jus make sure u didnt put any gel or wax when u arrive, cos they dont do wash. jus cut.
and bring the picture wif the hairstyle u want to cut(print from web or cut from magazine), the hairstylist will cut according to the pic + ur instructions. and of coz, u can observe and guide step by step.

ok lemme do some cost estimation for a cut+colour: cut=$10 + colour= $14(DIY hairdye) = !!!$28

it is this is the time i'll miss all my frens MOST

2005-03-08T03:08:00.000+08:00

3AM and still yawning...not asleep...

surprisingly i stayed in sch to do some sch work until 8.30pm today. i felt pretty shocked when i checked my watch before going home. however this hrs spend on sch work dipped me into the mood. the exam prep mood; the mood that i feel everytime it is about 1mth before exams.

it is this mood that drives me to study for the papers. most of 'em NTU frens havent started; still bogged down by labs and stuff. but i see beyond that. somehow studying for the papers felt more important.

gonna do the same tomoro. hide in scr to study with my fav study group; the one and only study group that i hang/hung out to study wif. dont be stunned if you see me on msn very often cos i'll be studying in front of the pc.

this is the time i'll miss all my frens MOST, cos i no longer hav that free time to hang out wif u pips. gotta catch up wif ya all online / on phone. agonising but unevitable....

found another great fren

2005-03-06T07:54:00.000+08:00

arg, it's already 7.50am, i shall quickly blog then goto slp, tired siah.
so it was boring saturday nite. me and Jamie we feeling bored. she was watching this movie on TV. I was online. it was simply too boring. so we went out for kopi @ Mr Bean selegie.

omg, we tallked about like everything under the moon, all stuffz. every stuff. seemed like we were able to converse very well. maybe cos both of us studied the same field. read similar books. haa, it was really fun.

back to the study life

2005-03-05T14:05:00.000+08:00

hmm oops didnt blog for quite a while liao cos nothing much's been happening lately, home->school->home, everyday for the weekdays.
today's finally saturday. as usual slept into early afternoon. akne-mycin has a great effect when used for quite some time. nex week officially going to be staying back in sch till nite on most days to study wif the study group. this happens every semester about 1month before exams haha.

supposed to goto sch to study wif shunrong and zhiwei today but i overslept leh oops. anyways last nite was dinner wif max and zhiming @ lot1 followed by a movie "hitch". woohaa, it's really hilarious leh all the stuff he taught the guys to woo girls, super funny.

hmm, i guess for the rest of today gonna be studying half and going for dinner wif hmm, maybe chenjie whom i havent met in a while. he's really changed alot; awoke from the world of games/arcade. as i told him before, when he start working, he'll realise what is more important and what not.

yepp, so there're a few songs that i heard that i wana recommend:
孙燕姿 - 我也很想他 (sun1 yan4 zi1 - wo3 ye hen3 xiang3 ta1)
永邦/阿桑 - 野百合也有春天 (yong3 bang1/ah sang1 - ye2 bai3 he2 ye3 you3 chun1 tian1)
张韶涵 - 欧若拉 (zhang1 shao4 han2 - ou1 ruo4 la1)
张韶涵 - mama mama
张韶涵 - 我的最爱 (zhang1 shao4 han2 - wo3 de zui4 ai4)

jie's supper

2005-02-27T04:14:00.000+08:00

went supper wif weijie! haa both our name end wif "JIE ". well anyway, it was a sudden idea cos i remembered that i never had supper wif weijie b4. so there goes, even thou it's already almost 1am. haa, i got no car but i can always hail a cab.

I quote myself:"i believe in willpower. As long as motivated pple hav willpower, they will be able to achieve wat they want."

not really surprised to find that other nocturnal ntu pips are at the 24hrs kopitiam near the church. i'll miss having supper wif ma frens when sch starts and gin's gonna be flying back to aussy in a few hrs. me now listening to yes93.3 and found a new song " 周渝民 & 大S - 就让我爱你 ". downloaded the lyrics too.

ok today not bad, while zhiwei was helping ginny pack her suitcase, i was @ home doing my wiring for the printed-circuit-board. hmm still got testing to do, must allocate another day another time to do.

sigh... first sunday without ginny asking me for "brunch"... will miss her... lots..人终是这样，多少时间都是不够. sis has been @ aussy for 3weeks liao. i'll miss all those over @ aussy: sis, ginny, michelle, sheena, edmund, weiyu

homely me

2005-02-26T18:18:00.001+08:00

yesterday(friday) was at home mostly, except dinner wif ginny, peiling(ginny's fren), and zhiwei. met Peiling for the first time. we had a great dinner@ queensway ABC: satay, lasi lemak, prawn mee, chicken wings, fried oysters, and stingray. got my badminton racquet restrung at queensway SC. after dinner was straight home.

today whole day at home. and many more homely days to come. got homework to work on. gin's flying off tomoro morning. yday i was watching Jay's concert vcd and discovered a gd song, it's sung by Wen Lan (Landy) but in his concert he sang this song(祝你生日快乐)as a duet wif her.

我知道伤心不能改变什么
那么让我诚实一点
诚实难免有不能控制的宣泄
只有关上了门不必理谁

一个人坐在空的包厢里面
手机，让它休息一夜
那上千个切掉回忆的画面
眼泪不能流过十二点
生日快乐，我对自己说
蜡烛点了，寂寞亮了
生日快乐，泪也融了
我要谢谢你给的，你拿走的一切
没人陪的一种寂寞，还要时间，才能平衡
美好时光，画面重生
祝我生日快乐

NOTE:yea, changed some of the lyrics myself to get closer to my mood.

finally ken

2005-02-24T11:59:00.000+08:00

Thursday 24th feb, slept into noon. had a prearranged kbox session wif hanwen aka KEN. hmm our NTU CAC impresario vice president yes. he was having a bad flu when we met. the aircon worsened his condition. but we had a great time. gin couldnt make it cos she needed to do last minute(expected) shopping before going back to aussy on sunday.

ok i know i've been playing alot. it's time to study... as weijie said, a guy must know how to play and study then good. seasons change, lifestyles also change like seasons; for everything, there is a time to do a certain thing. and you?

barbequed

2005-02-22T11:59:00.000+08:00

woke up to a bright and sunny mornin'. off to da swimmin' pool @ cck. dang, the slide wasnt working. so chill out @ spa pool wif Max. play a lil of wave pool. totally BBQ-ed by the sun until 1pm.

$16.90(flat rate) Buffet lunch @ suki sushi @ top floor of Lot1. quality wasnt as gd as sakae but buffet timing is great: 12noon-6pm. quantity also alot. but dont bother to take anything on the conveyor belt even thou they're all included in the buffet cos, those ordered from the menu (those lesser then $5) are hot and piping from the kitchen. lemme recommend a few dishes to try: !!fried tofu, salmon sashimi(not that gd thou, so dont order too much), fried shisamo, ika tempura, all the tempura.

after tat was off to max's house do some data transfer & back home. quickly bathed and hadta go meet yeechee and david @ cineleisure. awww there wasnt showing constantine so we hopped to shaw house. got tix and settled for long john silver dinner. (if u buy any meal,add 50cents to upgrade drinks to milo freez!)

constantine was great, got some christian stuff, referring to bible and stuff... cool ending.. remember to watch the short clip after the credits k? then off to HMV spinelli for kopi and chat.

and came home to realise that i still looked bBQ-ed

belated bday meal wif frens

2005-02-21T00:54:00.000+08:00

ok my saturday was nothing much, slept until 1+ then practiced until 4+. went downstairs to get lunch, came back to resume practice until about 9+pm then finally started to pickup the phone to see who is in town. arg.... some uncontactable, some going home, some already home...zzz. but anyways dinner was great; bbq stingray at clementi central, i finished it by myself; felt gd. went home to be a gd boy and stayed online till i sleep. :)

sunday! finally, my belated bday celebration heh! attendees: ginny, zhiwei, chungkit, weiyu and ME! had lunch @ crystal jade...was their treat but i ordered cos i quite familliar wif their dishes and wat's gd wat's not. yea as usual they did the bday card thingy late but it was done anyway. me and ck were earliest to arrive. the trio arrived pretty late but no big issue. had a sumptious meal.. ginny was down less than 1min after the spicy lamian entered her mouth. me and zhiwei, as usual, pork ribs lamian, best laa.

then after tat, gin and zhiwei went blading. weiyu went sls. left me and ck to go HMV to get my present from EMPOLI(@ heeren shops). yea dark brown leather shoes! cool! something that i want. and i wore it straightaway after purchase. Thanks pals for da bday present & the card!! then was chilling out wif ck @ TCC cineleisure. chat about many things.. life, music, past, present, future, share ideas, experiences... and lemme remind u gals, it's not an "uncle" thingy to be chatting and drinking kopi or rather "laah kopi", young guys do that too. after that ck went for his thingy while i went home in my new shoes. bought Jay zhou's concert vcds for referencing too. free poster heh, so i jus paste it on an empty space on my room wall.

RJ @crystal jade: "cheers"

latte ice mocha@ TCC cineleisure

yey! bday dinner

2005-02-18T23:15:00.000+08:00

ok half my day taken away by sch stuffz. then was off home to blast music and let my voice out.

then it was time; time to go for my bday dinner wif my folks. met 'em @ esplanade. woohoo, walked around to check out the options we got. so we decided on this restaurant called "Beijing La mian". wah the dianxin here super cheap ranging from $2.80 to $5.50 per plate. La Mian price was similar to crystal jade's and ding tai feng's. but the La Mian and dianxin standard was really average. better quality than foodcourt type of dianxin but sure not as gd as crystal jade's and ding tai feng's.

but we were all happily bloated anyway. haha. lemme recap wat we ordered so i can make YOU drool: hong2 you2 chao1 shou3(wanton in chilli oil), xiao long bao, spring roll, dou4 sha1 jian1 bing3(fried pancake stuffed with redbean paste), guo1 tie1(fried dumpling with meat&gravy inside), Seafood La Mian, 3xian Fried La Mian, sichuan suan1 la4 La Mian.

then heard this duo sang "Ou de yang's" song at the esplanade outdoor stage. well i called up frens hoping that they would be in town so i could hang out wif 'em but so sad... nobody's in town at the time i called. couldnt be preplanned anyway cos i didnt know wat time my dinner wif dad&mum would end.

yawnz... quite tired liao... had a happy 24th bday

bday wishes

2005-02-18T00:45:00.000+08:00

alrite, clock struck 12. it's my bday YEY! so the thoughtful pple who wished me are: ginny, zhiwei, weijie, mum, and jiyi. ok maybe i'm expecting too much cos it's a lil too early, everybody else should be sleeping (given benefit of the doubt)

as I'm blogging now, michelle's on her way to aussy liao. up up high on the aeroplane, to a land far away from sg. all the best! bon voyage!

oh, sheena jus called to wish me happy bday haha! how thoughtful.. it's e thought that counts.

melodies

2005-02-16T21:22:00.000+08:00

sch was a half day affair. after that was off to the ktv gathering@ clementi kbox to enjoy before the few of 'em leave for aussy in a few days. sheena was good as usual, got to meet charmane(sheena's gd fren), she sang well too! and Peijin finally revealed her power wif "jolin's 72bian" done flawlessly. gin was the latest to arrive but she managed lin junjie's songs pretty well. Jonathan was also good, wif his shin yue tuan(shi jie mo ri),LMF and beyond songs.

zzz, gonna miss them. sheena and edmund flying off on my bday, charmane also going back to aussy soon after. gin leaving nex week. too bad zhiwei couldnt make it, if not he'd enjoyed himself!

hope that u wont forget today.. heh 14th feb05

2005-02-15T03:02:00.000+08:00

hmm jus got home...now already 2+am wat a day siah!!
ok vday 14th: studied half for quiz then go liao. then as expected later half of the quiz i duno how to do cos didnt finish reading. so done about less than half haa. yea time flew.

soon it was time to go for dinner @pivdofr (bugis liang seah street). gin said the stuff there was gd. hmm on the overall it was an enjoyable night. got to meet Brenda, hehe really chatty and chirpy gal. gin and bren were like "high" on photo-taking tonight. for the first time in 2+yrs, i saw zhiwei wear a blue shirt that he claimed that he wore before... yaa like i go out wif him every other day erm... i dont c him wear it b4.

hmm was supposed to goto CAN cafe (nex door) to chill out after dinner but brenda lived far away and gotta get going soon, the rest also got work and stuff, so they went home....

was a really memorable day for me, how 'bout ya?

my dinner: Mixed grill@Pivdofr

it's been a long time...

2005-02-13T06:59:00.000+08:00

it's 7am on a sunday morning. no i've not jus woken up but instead just got home. shall explain that later. so yday evening was with gin, and her fren(william) and zhiwei. they're going for y.a.s. at trinity. actually i was supposed to go but Jonathan wanted to meet so i was excluded from the evening service.

Met Jon at cineleisure where we had dinner,then we went the usual HMV spinelli to chill out. He wanted to try the mocha spin cos we aint try it for a long time. but awwwww it was aweful; too much thick chocolate in the coffee made it sickening(very gao3).

then it seems that ash was over @esplanade harry's bar so we went over to crash. ohh but by the time we arrived, her frens zao already so only left Darlene and Ashley.yea had drinks AGAIN! we took a cab to sommerset and they decided to do supper there. wah dar and ash ordered so much food that me and jon end up eating super alot AGAIN. yummy stingray!

after supper, dar and ash gotta go home liaoz so left me and jon. we went taka to sit around chat until about 5am. then we wanted to go back but he suggested to daunt until 6,when the mrt service starts in city area. so we walked from taka to shaw to find toilet then cant find then detour to Marriot hotel to drop by the toilet. wah there got this disco bar called "the living room" very happening even at this time. so we continued walking to kill time, walked all the way back to the supper place and pass that, to killiney road kopitiam to find that it's not open yet! so we sat at their seats outside the shop to chat once again as Jon smokes a few malboro. yea many things we chat about; life, family, future, past, values,friends,ex-gfs,everything under the moon.

looking forward to the wednesday kbox stint heh. so happy & so tired now..

MINI chinese new yr???

2005-02-10T19:53:00.000+08:00

for 1st day of cny, hmm 1 family went m'sia to visit their relatives so left wif only 2 other families to visit. yea, more talk and snacking than anything else. sweets, crunchy seaweed, cashew nuts. rather like a snack tasting session. did some catching up wif my aunties to c wat they were up to. dinner at uncle's house, as like previous years' cny visits.

as for today, nothing much, cos no more visiting to do. dinner wif zhiwei and ginny @ al azhar B.timah. then went home to blog here heh. hehe all forms of entertainment will be uber ripoff on such days so i'd rather stay at home play game and check out new songs/lyrics. hoho, tomoro onwards will be back in action again!

CNY goodies!!

auntie made her own chewy sweet from natural ingredients!

i want this fried seaweed! where can i buy them?

all the best to you....

2005-02-07T21:28:00.000+08:00

so after sch i piah a cab down to changi airport which erm surprisingly cost me $23?!?! ok lar considering boonlay to changi 2 extreme ends. anyway, zhi, hong, guoyong and me were there to send her off as well as mum and dad.

it was pretty sad but she was strong; held back her tears and took pics wif us. she checked-in alone... i duno when I'm going to see her again, but i wish her all the best over @ aussy. hope jasmine will take gd care of her.

chinese new year will sure be boring without her around. i'll get by somehow. now i've become the only child already.... lost with words. lost in a daze of mixed feelings and memories...

she's leaving...

2005-02-06T06:45:00.000+08:00

late morning was spent @ cck swimming pool wif max THE MANN, we both came out looking like lobsterman(RED!). so now i dont look like the old me, i look quite chocolatey..hmmm... wonder how my friends will find it.

checked out Max's new Klipsh speakers.. omg the sub woofer and all the satellite speakers are so huge! but2bad he didnt know how to use his audigy soundcard to release the potential of his speakers. and the speaker placement was pretty bad too; satellite speakers sounding louder than the subwoofer?!?! but anyways i fixed that problem4him liao.

went home took a nap from 6-10!!! i was expecting somebody to wake me!!! but sis's wakeup call came @10 and i was invited to kbox...!!!dear sis is leaving on monday... so today zhi decided to tat we go kbox for the last time wif sis. this time was a lil' diff; zhi's old friend guoyong joined us. hwah by the time i reached already almost 12, had dinner then to kbox.

mum was doing her CNY shopping and she wanted to join us for kbox but she siamz home when she was informed that it was $21++ per pax for sat nite package. waa but we really sang from 1+ till 5am their closing time. zhi and guoyong were great sport even thou they were dead tired cos they've been out e whole day unlike mee who napped. ok sun rising soon liao, i better go catch some slp.. tata

slew to a more homely life?

2005-02-03T01:41:00.000+08:00

blogging at the wee hours...been really lack of sleep. monday to wednesday mostly went home after sch. spent time alone. practice on my new ktv songs at home. hmmz singing gives confidence. i'd never imagine that i like singing that much, since i started during june/july04. back then i didnt dare to go kbox wif anyone cos i was afraid they would laugh at the slightest mistakes. but as the months passed by, few trusted friends i sang to gave me positive comments that really gave me confidence. thankyou!

as the mths passed, i continued singing @ a leisurely pace.even up till today, i'm still learning new songs. but i think my standard still average but at least it gave me some self-esteem (in terms of my voice)

maybe i had enough of going out so often, or are my friends all to busy studying/working to hang out? really feeling that my body is always physically tired, maybe I'm aging too soon. come to think of it, the only thing i'm lacking in my life is not a gf,not games,not health,not really anything except sleep. i shall try to get some sleep now.

new beginnings

2005-01-30T16:21:00.000+08:00

long time didnt meet tim already, so lunch wif gin and tim @ yoshinoya TAKA. tim wanted to get new clothes for CNY. and great things happened to tim today wif the help of Ginny haha. hey tim..."a great start to a new friendship".

actually tim saw this gd lookin' shirt @ TOPMAN but erm price is off. so i suggested heeren shops and 77street. hmm after browsing somemore shops tim decided on another shirt while we were @ heeren. gin walked by an accessories shop and soon emerged with a new purchase!!! tim then reminded us that he also want new jeans but giordano sucked so we went to levis.

OH NO! the moment we stepped into Levis, Ginny was all over the shop browsing. omg, and as u all can guess, she bought a new pair of jeans...tim however, didnt buy any jeans cos it was way off his budget... gotta wait till payday yea.

I'm proud to announce that i spent the least today. bought a lil' something and + lunch only a little over $10.. heh who said i cannot spend less when i go out.

unfulfilling weekdays, relaxing weekends

2005-01-29T23:59:00.000+08:00

slept until afternoon. gin wanted to watch movie but the times were not gd cos she knock off @ 6+, so zhiwei,me&gin decided to do dinner instead. I missed the food @ far east so we went to dine there. 5th floor if i'm not wrong. the zicha stall, cheap & good. so tonight i tried the claypot hokkien mee+prawns. (generous servings of prawns) @ only $4.50

after that was off to walkwalk wif gin & zhiwei. hmm then stopped over at Spinelli HMV to chill until it was time to go home. yea even thou we meet up quite often, there were still many bits to talk about.

friday once again

2005-01-29T13:39:00.000+08:00

woops fell asleep on friday again so blogging today when i wokeup. nex time if anyone sees me on msn overnight means that I fell asleep + forgot to signout MSN.
so friday first half of the day was spent in sch. then evening and nite was @ clementi kbox...(haha AGAIN!) and of coz wif sheena and ginny cos zhiwei didnt wana go.

ginny's singing improved! sheena was pretty distracted by certain coincidental events that happened at kbox.. much of the time i was singing cos sheena was "busy". gin asked me to go dinner @ al azhar but i was tired out by the sch things liao so headed home after a quick dinner

later got dinner wif gin and zhiwei! meanwhile i'll be exploring some software to remove the main singer's voice from songs; so i can karaoke at home. :) as gin mentioned in her blog: kbox-ing so frequently is expensive.

went home to discover that dear sis bought my bday present already and gave it to me early! thanks

sweetTalk@Lot1,superlong queue! duno why also.

farewell dinner for sis

2005-01-24T04:28:00.000+08:00

SUNDAY:
lunch was wif tim and gin,max @ marina square cos we're all sick of orchard. yea scouted around for "action city" and "nikko" shops. tim bought his beloved "nismo R34 diecast" @ suntec. then off to heeren shops to get gin's stuffz. on e way she bought me this "wrights soap" @guardian which is supposed to help my complexion. Thanks Gin! well didnt stayed long @ hereen but never forget the fragrant old chang kee sotong! yes and gin couldnt resist the temptation watching me enjoy so she got a stick4 herself too!

we all went home. sis had planned a farewell dinner 4herself since last week. so after I reached home not long then gotta go out for dinner wif our dear 2 cousins, their mum, my mum and my sis! everything was according to sis's plan. dinner @ paragon ding tai feng. wah the noodles there portion so much lesser than the lamian @crystal jade yday.xiao long bao and the shrimp shumai was incredible. desert @haagen daaz near Ck tangs. wooh the fondue is powerful everyone loved it. yes more jokes and chat and all of us were so happy;long time didnt get together already.

by right we were all supposed to go home after desert as planned but somehow duno y my sis jio me&cousin zhi to go ktv. hmm of coz i couldnt turn down e temptation. anyway it was e first time i went ktv wif cousin zhi and sis. kbox @ cineleisure was the nearest we could find. luckily i got membership so wasnt so ex and the $ we saved could be used on cab. but the ktv system @cineleisure kbox was really crap= as crap as lot1. but we all managed to enjoy ourselves anyway. yeps so i gonna go slp liaoz... tomoro still got sch... *ROAR! ><" *

first outing wif weijie

2005-01-24T04:03:00.000+08:00

Saturday:
our first outing with weijie, supposed to be me, zhiwei, weijie and ashley but ash was sick so unable to make it. nevertheless the 3 of us managed a great time but weijie was too tired due to her previous day activity.

clementi kbox again but i really like that place laa, everything so new. so during ktv session, realised that somebody is stephanie no.3 and zhiwei is very suitable4 "michael learns to rock" songs. then was off to clementi market hawker for a makeshift lunch and yumyum mackerel otah!

then was paradiz pool and snack. by then weijie was zonked out and hadto go home soon. then went to carrefour @ PS to walkwalk while waiting for ginny to finish her Indian session wif frens @suntec. i bought another jay zhou dvd once again trying my luck to c if i can get karaoke versions of his songs but when i went home...i found out that i kana cheated AGAIN...zz.

dinner was @ suntec crystal jade la mian xiao long bao.... pork ribs lamian + hong2 you2 chao1 shou3. me and zhiwei had a hard time trying to stuff everything down, really filling dinner. then took the same mrt home wif ginny

found a good kbox so near

2005-01-21T15:04:00.000+08:00

ok the starting half of the day was crappy, cos i didnt know SA2 classes for sc111 were on even weeks and not odd weeks and i kept thinking that I'm S11 class so should be odd week(which is this week), and the damn lesson was from 3.30-5.30 and lecture ended at 11.30, so after lunch @ about 12.30 i waited another 3hrs for wat i tot would be my sc111 class. then i went there and ask the other guys, they said SA2 was LAST WEEK!!!

anyways, i flew outta sch and was home by 4.30... during the waiting time fr 12.30-3.30pm already planned a ktv session wif sheena "the sun yanzi no.2" yes. powerful voice she got. anyway i brought forward e plan to go clementi kbox which was within walking distance from my flat. AND guess wat? i got a kbox membership so nex time all'of u(my frens) who wana go can ask me then we get discounts K?

as sheena said, the system was new, mic was good and the manager is very friendly. but really student member price is very very cheap. click here to c the rates aircon was very cold so nex time i'll remember to bring a sweater heh. yes it was a very enjoyable session, well u may call it a practice session/marathon.

what a rush

2005-01-19T23:56:00.000+08:00

badminton was great, today i did fewer smacks and more far shots to make 'em run. trying to get more accurate by aiming the further corners of opponent courts. zhiwei was smacking more today. yeechee made tremendous improvement under hanjin's teaching. learnt new stuff from hanjin as usual heh, lookin' forward to nex wednesday. same guys but definitely not same skills;improvement expected.

after badminton rushed home, bathed then flew to simlim in cab. bought the SMC WLAN router, logitech webcam, external hdd, ext hdd case, canon scanner. the canon printer that sis wanted to buy was sold out ler. zzz.

set up the silly WLAN router in about 5mins. happily surfing wireless wif sis heyyy! tested the webcam,scanner,ext hdd too. all working fine. just that the ext hdd case cable is spoilt, tomoro need to go back get a replacement. and sis's damn mac powerbook doesnt recognise ext USB hdd, only firewire ext hdd was tested ok. so tomoro also need to get a firewire->USB2 cable.

and right now sis is yelling at me over wah how to connect this printer, that webcam, scanner? blah blah, how come this like that...blah. yea that's a true blue mac user alrite, duno no shit about her mac powerbook....

been spending quiet time alone these few days@home

2005-01-19T04:36:00.000+08:00

sunday,yesterday and today, i've been spending 'em mostly at home, catching up on sleep and self-awareness. havent been taking pictures(as u can c from my blogs) cos the damn sch work and matters keep bugging me; namely labs and lab partner matters.

Gin's pretty disheartened over certain things. seems like too overwhelming for her. couldnt find anybody to stay wif me @ hostel. anyway if i were to get a hostel it'd be jus to sleep. cos there's no fantastic speaker system, no superb desktop, no mic, no tv, no snacks, no family.

it's not unusual for me to be up@ this hour of the day doing wat pple usually do in daytime;e.g. filing my tuts and punching holes, admin stuff. btw met hanwen today at canteen A activities area where few stalls are set up for eca recruitment, he was dressed up as elvis !! wahhaha super obiang. impresario is up to semi finals already!

saturday's been planned, so is tomoro(or rather later):badminton day(weekly), booked the badminton court for nex wednesday already.

i'm sure later go wif sis buy the WLAN router/webcam/ext hdd/printer/scanner will be quite interesting....

fine dining + clubbing

2005-01-16T05:27:00.000+08:00

Today was @marina square but found nothing. then moved on to esplanade. wow got lotsa stuff to do here. hiphop bunch @ walkway to esplanade, couples at the rooftop, and rollerbladers at the open air on ground floor near Al dante.

scenery was good at the rooftop. then dinner at this spanish restaurant (VIA MAR), oh it's great dining experience. i ordered lobster something and house pour (which was chillian red wine).

at after midnite, went clubbing with sis and Jas @ zouk/phuture. lotsa angmor as usual. didnt club for a long time so felt pretty good. after clubbing was supper @fong seng prata shop where sis and Jas caught their breath, then we went home all happily enjoyed.

weekend finally

2005-01-15T02:12:00.000+08:00

had an agonising week of sch work to catch up with. friday was spend mostly beinging Jasmine(Ginny's aussy course/project mate) around sg. yeps, brought her to clementi for rojak on thursday nite(right after she touched down in e afternoon). On friday, Jonathan met up with Jasmine to bring her for breakfast at JP then to NTU. I met 'em at canteen A(NTU), then I started touring them around my faculty; crashed lecture for a while, visited the tutorial rooms (Jas said it was very cram), and covered the labs briefly.

Next was Jonathan, he brought us to see NIE lecture theatres which seems so small compared to NTU lecture theatres. Their tut rooms are larger than ours(Ntu's). and there's lotsa space to study @ NIE library. Jas managed to get her long awaited Singapore postcards @ the NIE library.

After that Jas was off to meet my sis, who brought her to holland V, then simlim, walk everywhere.Then miraculously we were able to all meet up @ CAN cafe at 11+. hung around there until 2 and the kind driver Max drove me and sis home, then Ginny and Jas.Interestingly, I happen to bum into Michelle while walking to CAN cafe wif Max&Gin. She was also in awe. we were like thinkin': "wow it's so coincidental to c each other there!". surprisingly, Mich and her frens just came out of CAN cafe after a chat session and me,gin&max goin' ther to meet sis and Jas. WOOT! sg is really small yea.

the fun ended prematurely. sis was zonked out cos she was walking wif Jas since afternoon. Gin's got work tomoro so we had'ta leave so soon.... zzzz

sch started officially

2005-01-10T22:24:00.000+08:00

first day of 2nd week in sch. stress and workload all coming up. first lab session in sc207, haha great experience.

then later off to JP to meet chenjie + dinner. tired out so went home soon after dinner. we walked the toys'r'us. it sucked. very less variety and they claim to be sg's biggest toy store...

so many things to do, havent even printed out my timetable...:)

RC cars discovery

2005-01-09T11:46:00.000+08:00

the usual sunday lunch wif tim and gin. but this time we ate at forum cos gin needs to get something from Toys'r'us. was really disappointed at their selection main headquarters for Toys'r'us and the selection so limited!

california pizza kitchen@forum

peking duck pizza@california pizza kitchen

I havent meet tim for very long liaoz. lotsa stuff to talk about. we were all rattling away about cars while ginny did her usual shopping as we tagged along. And we did this crazy thing. cos i've been wanting to buy a proper remote control(RC) car for a long time. Was just looking for someone to play it with; such that he and i will buy a RC car each then we can take out the car to race self-made obstacle courses. So me and tim searched a few toy/hobby shops until we arrived at this NIKKO shop @ wisma top levels. both of us bought a RC car each. we bought the box set that enabled us to change motor and wheels(rims). awesome!

the nex crazy thing was we dug out the provided batteries and powered up the car at a secluded corner near the shop. I raced tim a few rounds while ginny watched. things were pretty much "on the spot" today.

sheena's bday

2005-01-08T23:58:00.000+08:00

sheena's turning 21, got her a present already, hope she like it.

weiyu suddenly called and arrranged lunch wif me and hanwen @ IMM, cos hanwen is involved in his CCA event held at IMM it's called Impresario 2005(which is basically NTU talenttime).

Weiyu and I finally can witness hanwen's new image with our bare eyes. it was a great change. golden jappy hair cut with sunshades. I guess he was pretty much satisfied with the new makeover. since zhiwei lived so near, we got him out, hanwen went back to helpout in the event soonafter.

weiyu,zhiwei& i kana ripped off @ k-pool JE, cos duno y it's $9.80 per hour when it is 4+ on a saturday afternoon!

then off to meet Max and Gin to goto the event of the day! sheena's bday. had problems finding her house cos Max wasnt familiar with that area. anyways, there was a big crowd at sheena's. food was good. yea can u believe it? sheena's gd galfriends smacked cake on her after e bday song. and 3 of 'em chased each other around with cake in their hands.

school started ! arg

2005-01-05T17:07:00.000+08:00

school started 2days ago, i havent been able to adjust to the school lifestyle and wakeup timings. so hmm pretty much didnt even goto sch for yesterday and today. sis is flying to aussy soon, she's gonna miss my bday! haha must remind abit.

As usual first week got nothing, just intro lectures and stuff. Seeing everyone back in school seems more interesting, some of 'em i didnt even get to meet during the whole "1.5week" real holiday.

ok let's give it more time, maybe tomoro i'll wakeup on time and get to sch.

happy NU year

2005-01-01T05:22:00.000+08:00

well there was nothing much going on for the morning and afternoon of new years eve, jus that when i woke up, fiddling around wif my comp then suddenly the dvdwriter spoilt. omg, i rushed to simlim square to buy a new dvdwriter(TDK) which was erg only $139 compared to the $365 i paid for my previous dvdwriter(TEAC) i bought 1.5yrs ago! then hurried home to put down my stuff then off to meet Zhiwei and Jonathan @ redhill mrt then to Tiong bahru to meet Ginny and Max.

every restaurant was packed with pple arg. but fortunately we were able to find this "Grills" restaurant which served pasta. it was not bad. Pang's cabonara was really filling so i was able to hav some of his share. i had this italian sausage which had really small portions(pls dont order this)...

cheesy pics at "Grills" restaurant

Jonathan&RJ@Grills

zhiwei,ginny,max@Grills

after dinner was off to find a pub @ tanjong pagar which a friend of Ginny recommended. the idea was to countdown anywhere except in city area cos it'll be too crowded. so Max drove us round and round cos none of us were familiar with the roads around that area. when we found it (pub zodiac) we realised that the music there was 70s chinese oldies and the crowd was really old. so we buzz off to maxwell food center to get a drink then off to search for another cosy pub to chill out.

while walkin' back to Max's car, we passed by this "friendz" pub which was in chinatown, wow it was really cosy, no dancin'. just great party music and people chilling out on couches and smoking or drinking. some playing pool. for me it was ok chatting there, cos the rest of 'em didnt like to go chiong places. so we chat until really late like 3am then we left for fong seng prata session!

when we arrived at fong seng, we had to stand around for quite a while cos it was jam packed! nu expected really. cos most of the pple are supposed to be partying in city. not at such ulu places like fong seng somemore 3+am. prata session until 4am, damn it was raining then. we were all drenched. Max the goody driver drove all of us home heh.

Just another day in my life

2004-12-29T23:59:00.001+08:00

weather wasnt good, &crap things happened at the start of the day; was supposed to play badminton with weiyu,Gin,max,zhiwei and his bro @gombak stadium but i didnt expect the courts to be fully booked then thanks to Gin, we managed to get two courts in HongKah CC. But erm the nets they provided were crappy so me,zhiwei and his bro bought two from a nearby bookstore.

Badminton was really fun. Gin's getting addicted to it heh(it's a gd thing). weiyu's good, bong's erm not as gd as he boasted to be wahhahah. everybody had fun. lunch was @ mac then 2nd round @ the nearby kopitiam. Gin was running all over trying to catch the shuttercock hwahahah, and Max was exhausted way earlier than us, hey mann need to exercise more laa.

setting out for lunch after badminton session

frens@RJ's room

beehoon satay@ nearby level2 hawker opp beauty world

laterz they(zhiwei,max,Gin) came over to my house cos i gotta help Gin do up her blog template and stuff in pics. so in the evening i had 2laptops and 1desktop in my rooM! (hmm we could really start a LAN party over 'ere).

Max drove, so dinner was at this 2nd level ultra huge hawker center after beauty world. wow I tasted and recommend the satay beehoon(which usually has a queue). If u like plain white carrotcake which is not chaotah then must try the 1 (with the U channel recommendation article displayed).

Last but not least, Max drove us along and picked up weiyu along the way to this cool coffeeplace called "Gone fishing" which is in the suburbs of hillview, really ulu. I dont really remember wat the rest ordered but I had the old tawny Shiraz, ohhh it was really gd. thick bodily sweet red wine...

	check out our drinks
RJ@gone fishing enjoying "Old tawny shiraz"	weiyu&max@Gone Fishing	ginny&zhiwei@"Gone fishing" playing Jenga

Played a lil' of Jenga and the rest of the time was spent on this mind boggling game of "Mind Trap". e.g. picked up a card and read to everyone the question written on the card. when everyone attempts a guess,turn the card to check the answer behind. Here's one: what is the thing u use to see thru a wall?(imo, this is still rather simple).

Was after midnite already, went over to weiyu's house which was 1 street away or so, and got him started on Maple story the MMORPG, while he recommended me some gundam seed vids and lent me the vids as well. then weiyu drove me home heh finally got so see him drive.

merry christmas

2004-12-25T21:39:00.000+08:00

was out the whole day yesterday. super tired. lemme c wat happened yday. recap:
24th dec04- firstly overslept in the morning already arg, then was glad to hav met Sheena for the first time, kbox session wif Sheena,Gin and Zhiwei. hmm even thou my first time @kbox but definitely not the first time i sang wif mic (more often at home). the K-lunch at kbox was horrible, both the mic got problem (had an impression that lot1 kbox cannot make it). So nex time will try the ones at good'o clementi and JE.

ok so kbox session ended @3 but had'ta meet yeechee and gang (yeechee, shunrong, david,seeto) over at PS 3.30 but erm there was no way for me and zhiwei to get to PS from cck in 30mins, haha ended up we reached there @ 4. woops. then they decided to play pool&watch movie(kungfu hustler) instead of bowling. it didnt take long for us to discover that PS cinema tickets sold out. went over to paradiz/parklane to find long queues for pool/snooker tables. i suggested arcade but they didnt want to play so we walked from parklane to cineleisure arg! by then already super pissed off. finally@ 6pm bought tix for the 2.15am movie. seeto and zhiwei didnt wana watch the movie.

@cineleisure foodcourt

zhiwei&shunrong
@cineleisure foodcourt

For dinner at cineleisure basement1, i tried this vietnamese stall (BBQ pork+rice$4 & green papaya salad$2.80), and wow the BBQ pork tasted like really thick bahgua. yumyum. green papaya salad tasted very fun, got this slight sour taste that blended well wif the mint leaf and crunchy shreded greenpapaya. after dinner was browing&listening to cds @hmv followed by hanging out@ Paragon coffeebean. and on the way back to cineleisure there were these crazy pips who kept spraying this foamy thingy which was so irritating. then alot of pple's hair and clothes kana the foam. i tot i was able to siamz these pips spraying stuff but while crossing the road, got this gal came up from behind and sprayed foam on mah neck ARG! david suffered the same fate as me. while shunrong,yeechee and zhiwei managed to escape unscathed. zhiwei left just before we started playing pool.

seeto @HMV

zhiwei @HMV

yeechee @HMV

back at cineleisure level8 we had pool session, surprisingly shunrong's pool skills improved tremendously! we(me,david and yeechee) were totally shocked.
Kungfu hustle's special effect was really good althou the poor storyline. really funny too.
after the movie everyone was dead beat, thus shared a cab home half asleep hehe.

2004-12-23T11:40:00.000+08:00

ok so it's christmas outing wif Joyce heh.
lunch was @ paradiz foodcourt, the noodles stall was average, Joyce said the malay stall food was really horrible. hmm today's pool was great. She's really gd at pool lor, so accurate even thou no much power involved. i think overall i lost but it was really fun laa. after that was chilling out@ TCC(the coffee connoseiur), omg this cafe rocks. great selection of coffee and superb ambience for a similar price to coffeebean and starbucks. i really highly recommend TCC@ paradiz

The view outside TCC

More TCC

Joyce ordered this mocha villa which tasted really chocolatey wif a touch of cinnamon and mine was something hazelnut, cant remember already heh. anyway my hazelnut coffee got this cornflake that went really well wif the cream on top and the coffee below, blended well yea. we were @ this white sofa sipping away @ the refreshing coffee and chatting away... heh wat a way to relak.

project is over, time to ride the holiday wave

2004-12-22T11:06:00.000+08:00

finally the damn sch project is over. err even thou the micromouse didnt function properly, we tried our best to make it a good presentation; IMO it's better than average lar. we did make effort to explain that excessive time was taken to test certain stuff that mysteriously went wrong.

lunch was @ Billy bombers wif da sch project group members, lotsa chat and stuff yea. got a gd mix of races too, sg-chinese, china-chinese and vietnamese yea. cool. had this great set meal for 19++ inclusive of soup, choice of main course, desert+huge glass of drink.

2004-12-20T23:07:00.000+08:00

not gonna comment on the school project except that IT'S GONNA END IN 2 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

*do u think raymond is working on programming?*	*Raymond peeping at something*
*Project mates: zhiqiang,guorong,raymond,raynard*	*Guorong and Wang Xin*

ok today's badminton session was fun wif 3 other frens(hanjin, zhiwei,dennis), thou many others didnt turn up due to some reasons. finally seen the fruit of our labour paid off when we had all four badminton courts to ourselves from 4.30-6pm heh.... beat that; i had to gather 8 friends to do that.

yea learnt lotsa stuff from hanjin's comments and from playing.
1) grip nearer the bottom of the handle for more powerful long shots, however it affects smacks and scoops.
2) learnt that service must always be towards the court that is diagonally opposite
3) need to play more to get the right sensitivity so that i can control the shuttercock to go center/left/right without it flying out of play area.

dinner @ NTU's canteen 2, yumyum today tried the lotus soup from the herbal soup&rice stall. exchanged views about freelancing and career stuff wif them3.

gonna be arranging more programmes for myself for the rest of the days in the week; planning for christmas outing and stuff.

it's jus very disappointing that the rest from the lunch group was unable to turn up to play badminton even thou effort was made to book the four courts. but heh there's always nex time, i'm cool with it.... so nex time...

weekend was a blast

2004-12-20T03:00:00.000+08:00

this weekend was one of the best.

well i didnt expect myself to be hanging out wif Mich on friday for the first time heh.
It was cool, bugis shopping (parco and bugis), but it seemed not as gd as orchard area yea.

Saturday was also a first time hanging out wif Joyce, yeps.
loads of chat, walking, shoppin'. yea and raining.... suxx mann, why does it havta rain on a gd hangout day like tat. anyways Joyce was really superb to hang out wif yea.

really cool swatch idea that J and i found to be very interesting

saw this watch@HMV swatch shop that really goes well wif Ash's hairclip

Sunday(today): bad, Gin's down wif fever and other illness comboed, ouch! so me and Tim gotta call off the lunch meeting. arg! havent seen G for this week.

holidays filled with project(DDP) is really a tragedy wif pple all over blaming their lifeless holiday on the DDP. hey that's really lame, if they really wanted to hang out or do stuff, they can always do it after DDP rite, i mean DDP is jus from 8.30-5pm so yea.... evening cannot hang out? NOoo, i think it's jus that some pple got no life and they wana blame holiday projects...

tried this new magnolia milk this weekend... hmm not bad
