1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people have had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.

It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.

2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.

This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.

By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.

It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have sillyness in their life again.

When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

this is an interesting read...and its even more interesting to listen to other people's responses to it.

reading this post reminded me of how i wanted to volunteer at a palliative care centre. come to think of it, i dont think i am mentally strong enough for the job. and neither can i provide them with the emotional care that they need. (considering how i view expressing sad/emotional emotions as an obstacle when i interact with others.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
i want to live a life with no regrets. lets start with number four.

i think we came out of it stronger.

though it was only one night, it reassured our passion and love for the job.

and it made me respect some individuals even more.

i hope you see past the differences.

thanks.

placebo

2011-04-14T22:18:00.002+08:00

i think we are all constantly under placebo.

where we prescribe our own feelings, we choose what we want to hear, what we want to see, what we want to think, and what we want to feel.

2011-01-30T00:16:00.001+08:00

i think i am like a tabloid newspaper.

i am ugly, but i try to be nice.

i tell people what i think is the truth. but sometimes, i exaggerate the truth.

i like to think that the world revolves around me and i am the cause of all good that is happening.

i believe that it is my responsibility to know everything that is happening and use my ability to control the situations.

i think.

pissed my dad off today.

i dont understand why he keeps on wanting me to study. he has this perception that everyone in singapore is studying except me. i may not have the best grades..but i do try..right?

i hate it when people doubt me, my actions or what i am doing, or even my ideas. i hate it even more when you criticise the way i do things.

i think he was really pissed this time round cos i ended the argument by saying "it doesnt really matter, at worst, i can become a cleaner"

he went out of the house after ranting to mummy.

mummy tried to pacify me..all i did was to call her to tell him to find someone that he knows who is as hardworking or as intellectually capable than me(not that i am clever...but...) and then i told my mum i will not attend reunion dinner with the excuse that i am studying. indeed, that would have been extremely good for him..a son who studies so much, even sacrificing personal/family time.

i may really do it.

i need peace.

2011-01-19T23:24:00.002+08:00

recently i feel really tired. of everything that has been happening. Somehow i lost the energy that i had during the holidays.

i am not sure why but i have been acting extremely weird. class politics heh. never thought i will become a part of it. but really, it was all so emotional, all so childish and definitely immature.

council work has been taking up relatively lesser time than i thought it would. but it doesnt get anymore enjoyable or fun. perhaps the whole thing just became so routine that one loses the interest in the work he is doing. i think this is an overall consensus..and, having a horrendous working partner doesnt really help. i am not sure if you are just bimbo-tic or do you genuinely not understand my instructions? i find it a chore to work with you, to the extent i dont even feel like doing the whole event, and even throwing tantrums at the chair. i think she is quite vexed about us, but doesnt really voice it out, because she still needs us to complete the work. if there is one reason why i am so tired of cny, it would be you.

for one of the first few times in my entire life, i felt as if i was putting on a fake front in front of people, perhaps to gain attention, perhaps to lessen the queries, perhaps to feel more comfortable with the crowd, or maybe so that i can think that i am bringing happiness to people around me.

i need a break.

2010-12-31T15:00:00.008+08:00

its the end of year!

i still remember how in 2009 i was really so stressed i prayed everyday for 2010 to come sooner. perhaps i was just escaping from the toil of work,HP and the other burdens that really weighed me down.

somehow, this year isnt particularly happy, neither was it particularly sad...it just goes down as another year. not as eventful as the past few years though.

as inspired from falldown-n,

#01-i am really thankful that we managed to stay close even though we are in different classes. i was extremely scared that we will eventually drift apart in J1. but apparently, i was wrong and i should say we we as close. ha. being with you is a relieve for me, from everyone else. i think you bring me joy and laughter that no one else can and it kind of rejuvenates me. thank you.

#02-i am not really sure why you have this pessimistic view of yourself.the person you are online and the one you are in real life is just so different.its either you are bipolar or that you are really good at creating facades. but out of the many people i have worked with you are definitely one of the most outstanding ones. never have i seen someone whom i can hail as a true leader and someone i am willing to be led by. i am just amazed by you and you should be too.i am thankful that you let me in to your online persona(considering you dont allow many in)you are one of the better friends(if you may) i made this year.

#03to a group-thank you for being there with me this year. only this year that i manage to get to know all of you better. we form a very very exclusive clique perhaps, but sometimes i find myself a misfit due to my other commitments and due to the inherent differences between us. collectively, it was stressful to be with all of you at some points of time and i really needed solace(i hope you understand)but time spent individually with each one of you was fun, self-realising and often motivational.

#04- i thought it was least likely that we would drift apart in JC. however, we did. maybe it was because we started out with different social circles since the beginning. occasional outings did help but our interactions seem to be turning superficial. i hope we can go back to how we were like.

#05- i kind of expected that we will end up like this in JC. i suppose you had a turbulent year with your relationships and your commitments. i do hope things get better for you and that you can pick yourself up. trust yourself and follow your heart. i think that was my intended message from our last meaningful conversation.

#06 to a 40 odd- you all definitely changed my JC life. no matter big or small, you made an impact. i got to know some of you better and i am comforted to know that you are my friends. however, there is still majority of you who do not seem to be the most accepting of me. perhaps its just the way i act, or perhaps this is the way things are meant to be. alot of you made promises. i hope that those werent just emotional responses to what happened that day. i hope you do keep those promises. i am conflicted about my relationships with each one of you. you all seem so close, yet so far. perhaps you all should just let your guard down and not let your biased judgment of people influence the way you treat others. you all struggle with trust issues, struggle with clique issues. i do not think you should impose your inner insecurities unto others. please step out of your comfort zone and you have to learn that its okay to trust. i hope i can have better relationships with more of you so that the term wont just be about work.

#07-didnt really get the chance to interact with you this year. no matter what i say of you, i hope you do understand that i think we are great working partners and i do hope that our plans do work out. perhaps with the newfound interest and social work, we can do something meaningful once more.

#08-you said that you felt close enough to me to not write anything for me. but really, i just feel that you are deliberately distancing yourself from me. i thought we had a fair working relationship and we were good friends. last time. though you say that we are close, you are subconsciously wary and scared of me. i hope things return to how they were like in the past and we can become normal, or better friends.i hope.

#09 to three-i am thankful for those 2 months. you all helped me more than i can think of. you all wanted it more than i did. i feel indebted to all of you. wouldnt it be good if all of us got in? then perhaps the term could have been better. no matter what people say of you, or us, i think we were a great team and perhaps the most bonded group. it is comforting to know that all of you found greener pastures and are enjoying what you are doing now. the whole process was perhaps the best part of my JC life. to be frank, i didnt even expect to be able to form a group with you. but everything was worth it. sometimes when i feel dejected the thought of you push me on to try my best in council. i am really thankful to have known you people. i hope that we can stay as good friends. thank you.

i suppose i typed something for everyone who mattered this year.

i sincerely hope that next year will be better.

[edit]after reading through the whole post, i realised the incoherence and the excessive use of words like "thought", "suppose", "think". perhaps subconsciously i did indeed pray that things arent the way they seem, hence the choice of words.

Feeling broken
Barely holding on
But there's just something so strong
Somewhere inside me
And I am down but I'll get up again
Don't count me out just yet

I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
You haven't seen the last of me

They can say that
I won't stay around
But I'm gonna stand my ground
You're not gonna stop me
You don't know me
You don't know who I am
Don't count me out so fast

I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
There will be no fade out
This is not the end
I'm down now
But i'll be standing tall again
Times are hard but
I was built tough
I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of

I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
I am far from over
You haven't seen the last of me

No no
I'm not going nowhere
I'm staying right here
Oh no
You won't see me begging
I'm not taking my bow
Can't stop me
It's not the end
You haven't seen the last of me
Oh no
You haven't seen the last of me
You haven't seen the last of me

--------------------

i am addicted to this song. packed my room today and found my cross-stitching kit. to think i could sit down and cross stitch last time. ha. i must have been insane.

i realised i cannot stay focused. and this short attention span gives me horrendous problems.

i hope that my homework pile will vanish miraculously.

2010-12-28T00:05:00.004+08:00

had a good day out with 3 others today. i think the outing was timely and much needed.

have been listening to new songs recently. but somehow i still prefer certain singers.
am quite anticipating new albums from lavigne, spears and clarkson next spring.

i think i am going pescetarian. perhaps i should give it a try one more time? ha.

2010-12-23T23:20:00.003+08:00

i am quite confused now. during the course of mtr, loads of people shared their feelings, opened up and shared their stories.

many apologised, most made promises, nearly all decided that they were going to change for the better.

i distinctively remembered that after i said my piece to clarify the letters, there was little claps, very little. perhaps it was my tone, or perhaps it was the content. i didnt really resolute to want to change anything, but really just made a blatant statement that "this is who i am".

as joyce said a few days later, perhaps the others should accommodate more and accept everyone for who they are, instead of forcing them to make changes.

i think alot of people got constructive feedback. while, i only received nearly useless information. really, is that what you all see of me? make it seems as if you are superficial. also makes me feel like i am superficial.

very funny. stop touching girls.

and this were all the letters were about.

i found the session particularly interesting, intriguing, but also vexing. i need someone who can read into me and tell me who i am. as cy said today "i dont really know the real you."

i need someone capable of psychoanalysing me. i remember that bill was psychoanalysing people and sharing his opinions about them. when i told him to try psychoanalysing me, all he said was "no. you are too kind" did he mean that i was so kind he didnt want to hurt me or did he really just mean that i am a kind sycophant?

i try to understand people and try to read into their actions. but i cant even read myself.

vexed.

2010-12-21T23:08:00.005+08:00

Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madman

Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever

2010-12-21T21:49:00.001+08:00

i think its high time to start blogging again.

but this time round, i dont think i will be publicising my blog like the other times. i think i really just need a place to pen down my thoughts.

2010-03-11T22:18:00.001+08:00

have been really really really extremely busy lately.

which very much explains the drought here.

got to know a lot of people recently..

at the same time, i learnt a lot of new things..together with my friend’s experience, i have concluded that 人心隔肚皮。人的心是最难了解的。

“知人知面不知心”也许是形容着一个现象最好的句子。。。

一向来我都向往以诚心待人，但有时候我发现到一些处境让我无法真心诚意对待他人。

但是，这可不是最可怕的。至少我不会暗算他人。

也许儒家推崇的“以真心诚意对待他人”是有道理的。。。

但是，就犹如道家所言，有人真心诚意，就会有人虚情假意。

希望你能看透红尘吧！但愿你不再为那一次难过的经验而改变了你对人生的态度。我永远都会陪伴着你。

2010-02-16T21:18:00.001+08:00

if it were not for hope, the heart will break.

had a fantastic 17th!

firstly had round one with yong xiang, litxian, bradley and gordon!

and then round two with S75!

followed by round three with vivant! peeps.

round four with parents and my favourite bakerzin cakes.

round five, the best one, with all my friends and buddies.

and i enjoyed every moment.

it was really really cool and really really good.

having organised birthday parties for so many people, i doubt any of the ones i organised could surpass this five. hah.

so i am not going to organise any more!

i am going to do other things. i think.

and interact!! yay. i am so happy.

2010-02-09T23:29:00.001+08:00

have been really really busy lately!

but i feel really really happy for completing my lun wen!

YESH. i finally completed it. after months and years of sleepless nights and all..i have finally finished.

to think i actually contemplated going to threaten a sec 3 guy to call his dad to read my email. i think i really went bonkers for the research paper.

but ahh..wells. didnt threaten or even get a reply in the end!

and from a breadtalk lover now i am like a breadtalk guru. considering that i plough through all their statistics, datas, whatnots.

yoy.

orientation was last week. and it was a very very good time! i was expecting some horrendous and mind blowing, physically exhuasting, morally humiliating games! but woohoo! the game i detested the most became the most fun game! actually all the games were quite fun…

and i think my OG is really great. my class too! yay. i was so happy to know that i got into this class..and faculty. and….i got to know a lot of new people! yay. i can be a social…butterfly?

perhaps not to that extent.

school has started and some teachers are amazing. i find the dir/studies cuter everyday! yay.

school politics becomes even more fun when you have more teachers! yay.

but anyways, recently i also got pissed off at alot of things. i think i am going bonkers. or perhaps its just that time of the month. i really really get annoyed easily. over really small matters. but it really just blew me off. and thanks to the people who had to tolerate my rants and complaints. i think i am turning aunty.

i hope this marks a good start of a new school year! and hopefully more new and happy things will come along my way!(though i am really sad that i screwed up my interact interview. boohoo.)

yay. till..perhaps 2 days from now? darren say i bu yao lian. but..i dont really care. take note hor people!

2010-01-30T19:26:00.001+08:00

wonder

2010-01-22T00:22:00.001+08:00

recently i began wondering.

how did i survive that six weeks?

and how am i going to survive the next two years?

its been a long journey. i really cherish it.

anyway, should i rsvp to it?

nicest trailer

2010-01-16T17:41:00.001+08:00

this is really really cool

watch it. love it.

oyeayura

commitment?

2010-01-15T00:22:00.001+08:00

ha.

recently, blog posts have become shorter and shorter.

let me assure you! i want to blog. and there are just so many things out there that i want to blog about.

but i really dont have the motivation to..or maybe i am really really busy…

and then, there are people out there who are really committed to what they are doing and they do it everyday!

like this budding new artiste!

he uploads a new vlog every other day!

and its so much more difficult to do a vlog post compared to a blog post!(on second thoughts, it is not, since you sing and sing and you practise to sing. i have to think about the content of my blog)

so anyways, i have decided that i shall be more committed to blogging and i shall allocate a time in my schedule to blog.

or perhaps, i should start vlogging, like nigahiga, who attained internet fame through his vlogging.

but of course, i am not as good.

commitment is something i need to work on!

i can get really committed to ideas/projects, but somehow, if it is a deal i make with myself, my commitment to the personal projects tend to be less than expected.

anyway, was sick recently, and i passed the virus to my parents…so my whole family is down with flu. really terrible flu. but i recovered fast.(4 flu pills+2 super strong panadol+loads of water)

havianas tomorrow with nick and darren!

i never ever spell it correctly.

oyeayura!

mission!

2010-01-12T22:09:00.001+08:00

am currently reading jac welch’s “winning”…and he emphasized pretty much on the idea of the importance of mission.

since mission is such an important thing, i have decided that oyeayura should have its own mission statement too!!

Mission:

To bring fun, love and laughter through the virtual world

Values

To be answerable to my conscience

To have integrity

To have a balance

To not be superficial

To be sensitive

YAY.

okay, since i have stated in my values that i shall have integrity, it pretty much means that i have to state the truth, and nothing but the truth. so, for example,

fantastic zisong is a tautology!

i think that was a great example.

hmmph.

have you all seen the few facebook group that reads

“LOL has changed from ‘laugh out loud’ to ‘i have nothing to say’”?

i suppose many have. eh.

so since there is no more word to describe your instant happiness or laughter or anything to show your positive feelings, i think i have one idea.

why not just go

“oyeayura!”

so conversations will go from

“zisong is a good boy!lol!”

to…

“zisong is superfantabulous! oyeayura!”

eh. the descriptions and choice of words changes as i use “oyeayura”! i think using the word makes one postive and makes ones vocab more positive and descriptive too. eh. this is good. right?

yes.

oyeayura.

call me a bitch for all i care

2010-01-11T19:46:00.001+08:00

and YES.

after months of preparation and constant niaoing, my prowress has proven to beat tangc’s horrendous teachings. i have an A.

and i am certainly contented.

and how the heck do you get 10 A1s? horrendous people. but nevermind, congrats and much love to DUO GENG and WEN YI. woots. you rock.

tralalala.

and yes. we made record. record breaking high MSG. call us hwa chong students.

worried

2010-01-10T20:54:00.001+08:00

not that i am not in the mood to blog.

but to explain the lesser blog posts and the lack of content…

i am too worried.

okay. i am not in the mood to blog.(i am not thinking right.)

its a nightmare…and i find that it is a horrendous problem when i put alot of posts on hold. i really cannot remember what i want to blog at times.

shall update tomorrow.

i am trembling.

1 day

2010-01-10T00:25:00.001+08:00

something set me thinking. people are questioning when i am serious and when i am not.

shall make this clear. i mean what i say..even that emo post. that were some of my sentiments. but of course, i dont let it come in my way. i just heck it and set it aside.

and anyway

1 more day.

i can feel the earth trembling under my feet.

i can feel the air shaking in my palms.

and then there was none.

i dont believe

2010-01-08T00:18:00.001+08:00

recently i have been very very busy! having meetings and all made me feel really tired. i think my brain is dying.

anyway, its not that i dont want to blog, but rather, there are so many overdue things thta i want to bog about that i simply dont have the time!

anyway, i think recently i am more convicted of my believe-the is no perfectionism in this world.

i suppose it is because of this idea that i fell out with yong xiang on several occasions during mediatech. other than differing views of stuff, his pursuit of perfection and my believe of taking the practical route, basically obstructed each other.

i dont believe that we can actually achieve 100% in everything. most of the times, we are not given what we want, but we are given what we need. and what we need certainly is not perfection.

another point to note is that i also dont believe in fairness in the world. i believe in karma, but i also believe that we live in an unfair and bias world.

just like my mum would like to say, the heart leans towards one side of the body. 心总是偏向一边的。人总是会有偏心。

so i believe that there is no absolute fairness in this world. not that i embrace biasness of course. as long as it is bias towards me. why not?

like how i treat my juniors in mediatech last time. so fair and unbias right? see. i try. at least i try.

omygosh. there are two million things i want to blog about, but yet i am so busy and so worried.

O level chinese next week. urgh. cardiac arrest is setting in.

okay. i found out why i am so tired. i think i am sick.

ALL my favourite TV shows!

2010-01-04T22:38:00.001+08:00

have been wanting to do this post since twenty million years ago!

but still, one thing i have to admit, i do not really like the singaporean shows. be it the TV serials or the variety shows. they all lack the attractiveness and creativity that other countries have.

lets take drama serials for example. the way to watch Singaporean TV serials is…

watch the first episode.

watch the last episode.

then, you know the whole story already. in essence, they are making one whole long drama out of a short short story. which is really irritating since you will actually know the ending before the show even starts.

on the contrary, shows from other countries have that kind of suspense, unexpectedness, politics and shows the ugly side of human being and evilness and jealousy and all. which, we all should admit, is what we all love to see right? maybe not to that extent, but i am sure everyone loves thrill and suspense. thats why i watch bobby au yeung’s shows with my mum.

anyway, hongkong TV serials are far better than singaporean shows. US serials are also better.

the main difference between HK and Spore TV serials is mainly the fact that HK shows have more suspense and shows more politicking. as for US shows, i think they make people think. as in, singaporean shows are mainly “IN YOUR FACE” kind of shows which dont really have any meaning. on the other hand, US shows tend to have a deeper message. and a person will need to think and feel and then..they will get different experience and afterthoughts from the show.

and my favourite US TV serial….

HOUSE MD.

its a really nice show that shows the protaganist(House), who is an ego yet super good diagnostician and his team of people. i really really love it.

anyway, as for variety shows, singapore has a apparent lack of ideas…

like for example, shows like Life Transformers and RenovAid(which i think are quite nice..), actually copies the concept of Extreme Makeover Home Edition, just that they do it on a smaller scale. and somehow, watching Extreme Makeover, i can feel more. i think it is how they bring out the feelings and emotions through the programme, that make me feel more touched when watching Extreme Makeover, as compared to the singapore editions.

really really nice okay!

and of course, my favourite is…

other than Ellen, i like

THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW.

which is also a really really really nice show!

at least they are informative and useful.

i also love

YAY.

THE APPRENTICE.

dont everyone just love the bitching, politicking, jealousy and the scheming-ness of the people? don’t stick to that morally upright self! you all know that deep down you love seeing others engage in cat fights and bitchy arguments!

and one thing YOU must watch!

AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 10

STAY TUNED.

all videos are from our favourite internet site, youtube!

a letter to the emo freaks out there!

2010-01-03T11:24:00.001+08:00

URGH!

no one responded to my previous post! its ither the post is not emo enough or else it must be that the readers are not sensitive enough!(i believe it is the former).

i consulted peng peng and he told me it was not emotional enough! but for a person like me..it was very emotional already!

not that i teared while writing that post, but i put alot of thoughts into it!

okay, shall not digress anymore. anyway, that post was a fake “emo” post as i wanted to see what would people’s responses be.but apparently there are none. so instead, i shall comment about such posts.

not that i have anything against people who post such things moaning about how super sad and devastating their lives are, but please! alot of people find themselves philosophical and very very sensitive or super emotional and super indepth nd knowledgable while writing such “thought-evoking” posts.

but in fact, i only have one sentiment. if there is any feelings to those kind of post. it is SUPERficial.

no doubt you are questioning the big big question on life.no doubt you feel lost and confused. but putting a chunk of words together with no real meaning but instead is just ramblings, is really simply, superficial.

but i cannot comment any much further..since its their personal weblogs.

but lucky for me..i wont be so emotional! ha!

i think it is because ok my NPD personality which makes the world revolves around me and its because i take things as they are..so..i dont give much thought about things. and yes, i believe in the notion of

“everything happens for a reason”

ha. i am a fatalist.and certainly not a perfectionist. i don’t ask for perfection in life. i ask for practicality and feasibility. very much utilitarian ideals i suppose.

so, to end of, people sometimes, shouldnt be thinking too much, because it will hurt them more. just let things go and then let time heal all the wounds. time can do wonders.

放下。舍弃。要舍才能得。正因为如此，才会有“舍得”

sometimes

2010-01-02T18:13:00.001+08:00

sometimes, we are made to think.

sometimes, we are not given what we want, neither are we given what we need.

people say things happen for a reason. do they?

if they happen for a reason, someone please justify why some people are in living hell, while some others can have the time of their lives. why some people have to suffer and go through the unthinkable, while others lead a smooth sailing life?

sometimes, we are not reciprocated. we are not even appreciated.

then we feel lost and confused. then we think about the things we do for others. we thought that somethings should go the way we want them to, but they somehow dont.

sometimes, i feel lost. sometimes i feel unappreciated. when i say “ i dont mind”, the hyper-sensitive me is actually struggling to force a fake smile for you to see. yet.you are still unfeeling towards me.

sometimes, i wonder if there is a need to keep that facade on. to make sure i do not impose on you, but allow you to dump all your worries on me.

sometimes i find that there is no one to confide to, no one who will listen. not as attentively as i do. to myself.

sometimes, i find myself talking to myself. having my own conversations.

at least. i listen.

at least. i feel.

at least. i respond.

sometimes, some people are just not as responsive as you want them to.

sometimes.

YOOHOO

i totally freaked out and went running around the house like a madman. i killed the house cockroach which lived with us for more than a year!

i felt so damn sad!not entirely for the cockroach. but also my foot. when i stepped on it, everything just kind of splashed out.

which is totally disgusting.

i feel super super sad now!

but nevertheless. G2000 is great. fantastic.

2009-12-31T00:20:00.001+08:00

heh.

i have decided that i am comfortable with this blog being a more journal like blog! so other than the crap/jokes and the hope to bring laughter through the virtual world, this blog shall bear record of my feelings!

i remembered there was one post where i talked about appreciation..to parents.

recently i was clearing my email to make way for my new gmail(i am linking the two accounts and it is a really horrendous thing to do.but i guess its for the better! will allow the things to sort out neatly in the new year ahead!) and then, i saw this email from my parents when during the exam period.

anyway, the brief background information:

during the 6 weeks before exam, i practically did not leave the bukit timah area. i never went home..so i stayed in boarding school even during weekends to prep myself for the final examinations. and on friday nights, my parents will find me at any eatery near bukit timah road and we will have family dinner there. woots. i missed those times! but i never want to experience it again. it pure torture studying and studying.

so the email they sent me is about me not giving too much pressure to myself and that they will support me no matter what happens..ha. really supportive parents right!

anyway, i gotta thank them for who i am today! without them, i suppose i wont be the lim zi song you see today( i can assure you that they are in no way responsible for my bigger-than-the-universe ego. that is pre destined i believe.)

though i really appreciate them and all, i really dont know how to put it across to them. my family is a really really conservative and humble family!

i think alot of people will get a shock when they see how i behave infront of my parents. i am a totally different person! infront of my parents, i am quiet and lonely and solitary. they think that i have no social life and that my only point of contact with the outside world is my cousin-beatrice.

so my mum always tells my aunts about it lah. and my aunts also get the impression that i am a bookworm. so while many others are busy getting grounded, my mum actually hopes that i go out and assure her that i have a social life.

all the talk about social life but you wont find that i am my dad’s friend on facebook. i think alot of people may say i am a two-faced freak after reading this.but seriously, in front of my parents, i cannot be the blogging or facebooking me. if they ever ever ever know what i do on facebook and on my blog, they will die of heart attack immediately. seriously.

so..not adding my sister and dad on facebook is for their own good! i really wont want to see my dad going through another myocardial infarction again!

anyway, so much about the difference in the family-me, virtual-me and friends-me, i shall share more about my family.

my dad is an engineer at seiko. he is a really hard worker and he is really loyal. so despite getting headhunted, he refuses to leave. which i told him that it is a really stupid choice. not that loyalty is not important, but if we study human geography, we understand that japanese companies are famous for…low wages! i think for the amount of work he is doing, the pay he is getting is seriously miserable. so my family is not as well to do as you may think okay!(this is written for peiting.)

my mum is a kindergarten chinese teacher! she loves children and has a way with them. she is the more liberal one in the household and the cleverer one too..as in my dad is booksmart while she is streetsmart.(my dad is seriously not streetsmart. he is very very very honest and loyal!) so my mum is the one who can really read my mind and all.

but i think my family is a great mix! my dad is super conservative, while my mum is liberal. my dad lives in the world whereby arts students are stupid hell idiots(thats why he refuses to let me take arts) while my mum always tells me to pursue what i like as it is my life and that..essentially i should be answerable to my guilt conscience and live a life of happiness.she is big of reciprocating and moral righteousness!(i think i take over her alot!right?)

anyway, the reason why i am usually so quiet in front of my parents is because i dont want to end up in arguments with them. sometimes, i simply cannot get the ideas i want to convey across and it is really depressing. i shall be frank here…i argued with my dad nearly everyday when i tried to convince him that i want to take an arts combi. quite obvious i lost the argument! but he had my interests at heart and that win came with a price! i made him agree to pay for expensive tuition fees.

if you ask me…you can actually very well see that i am the scared of daddy and mummy kind of boy. but i think i hold my parents in really really high regards. as in..my dad always came across to me as authoritative and i cannot change that image of him.

when i was in sec 2, my dad had a heart attack.being the gullible me, i was really really scared. this fear is essentially because i cannot imagine him being crippled, or disabled. i have a particular fear for disabled people. my dad being disabled can be the worst nightmare for me! but luckily heart attack means that one of his arteries is blocked..so no major impact on his physical abilities..since it was found early.

as you can very well see, i cannot imagine my parents frail and old. really. that would be my nightmare come true.

and though i think my dad is not really streetsmart, i do really respect him for who he is.

my family is one that do not believe in caning. so, in other words, i have never been caned.

my parents use the more reflective approach. so when my parents are angry with me, they scold scold scold..and then they ignore me. which is really really scary for me. thats why i get really scared when people start ignoring me.

i remember one incident that really made me respect my dad. he is the oldest son.so there was one time when we had a family gathering and my little cousins were too playful which pissed my aunt off. my aunt was going round the flat wanting to cane my cousin..then my dad just shouted something like “you dont cane during family gatherings! if you want to do it, do it at home. or at least when i am not present.”. the whole place was really really tense and then my aunt gave up. but actually, it showed that my dad didnt want my cousin to be publicly humiliated…which i think is really important for a child’s development.

one thing i really love about my family is the family dinner.

i dont know why but there seem to be alot of families who dont have dinners as a family already! but my parents make it a point to have family dinners. which really is heartwarming to see and certainly very very valuable!

i think i would have been a totally different person if not for my parents! and for that, thank you daddy and mama.

p.s. i hope you never ever find this blog though.

huff puff muff.

2009-12-30T22:54:00.001+08:00

don’t you really get annoyed when a shopping area/district is infested with students from one school?

i am not directing at any school here…but seriously, when you have a large bunch of students from one single school going to a mall, it kinds of changes the demographics of the mall and makes the feeling and general appeal of the place go down!

such is the case for jurong point!

once a nobody’s heaven is changing into a haven for one particular school who is moving in! not that i have anything against them..red.blue.white.

i shall them red smurfs since smurfs have blue and white colour.

so…invasion of red smurfs into jurong point! so whenever i go there now..i feel like an alien. and it really really feels super awkward!

but nevermind.

i shall live with it.

anyway, G2000 and topman sale.

i am loving it.

decision!

2009-12-30T00:00:00.000+08:00

after much thoughts and discussions with my mum..as well as the help from wanling….

i have decided!

i am going to be a pescetarian

for 1 month!

starting from the 1 Jan..i shall abstain from all kinds of meat..and eat only vegetables and seafood for 1 whole month..to test it out.

also, i will give up on processed food.

anyway, was youtubing when i saw these videos.

everyone should watch this documentary!

http://www.youtube.com/user/chocoholicgiraffe#grid/user/0FC9C14A70D0476E

yes. this shall go down into my resolution for the new year!

yay.

SINFUL indulgence!

2009-12-29T14:49:00.001+08:00

yesterday was beatrice’s seventeen!

as one of her beloved cousins, i was invited for dinner!

we went to crystal jade la mian xiao long bao at holland village!

the great great thing about the crystal jade here is that they have BUFFET styled dining!

it costs about 22++ per person for 5pm-8pm

it comes in the form of a steamboat buffet.

so we ordered loads of stuff..

as it was buffet, they served xiao long bao buffet style too!

we order 10 sets of xiao long bao in total! which means 50 xiao long bao!

(the other table beside us ordered 20..and their zheng long[the thing xiao long bao comes in] was stacked all the way from the floor to above the table!)

anyway, had loads of fun eating and chatting. this is especially sinful when food is served ala arte style and you keep on ordering and ordering for fear that tomorrow is the last day you will be alive.

but it is really really satisfying and definitely worth it for 25 bucks!

but the service there is horrendous.

the waitresses all dont understand chinese though they are from china!

i had to request for a plate for 3 times, before a plate was given to me.

also, they are very very slow in collecting the used dishes! they were so slow to the extent i had to bring the plates to the kitchen myself(as the plates were obstructing me from eating). i think i can go there for part time.

and, worse of all, some of the food you order never ever arrives. which is really really disgusting considering that you actually wanted and were anticipating for the food to be served..but it isnt served in the end. which really really is horrendous.

but, i would say it was a good meal.

after that, we went to cold rock for dessert!

had ferrero indulgence, black as chocolate and cheesy ???..all were quite nice. but of course, my favourite is still ferrero indulgence which is like comfort food for me. i remember the last time i ate it was after math exam and i was totally devastated.

anyway cold rock was nice and cool at first as it brought in the novel idea of mixing the food and tidbits with the ice cream itself! but however, i feel that there are many other such concept shops now all around singapore and they are being outshone! one example is….my favourite MARVELOUS CREAM which serves the all comforting and totally fantastic chocolate sienne. .really really marvellous! maybe thats why they are called marvellous cream!

anyway, we played cards at cold rock. i introduced them to the ever interesting game 21!

it’s a super super good game for people to pit their intellect against each other and yet bond okay!

i find that service at cold rock is also not particularly great especially since the assistant at the counter didnt know the products well. this really really pisses me off. i was asking if they sold italian soda(which they wrote on their door!)..and the assistant was completely clueless as to what i was saying. and to add on to that, he didnt even know the menu well! he didnt knwo that there was a combination called “black as chocolate” when beatrice ordered it! he was like…”huh? is the name correct?” and beatrice had to painstakingly check the name of the ice cream combo again! this is horrendous.

to add on to the horrendousity, the italian soda they served wasnt really great. it was pretty much a fizzy iced water. not really worth the six bucks or the advertisement. totally undeserving.

thats why they are outshone.

THANKS beatrice for the treat!

anyway, i was thinking of bringing them to chomps chomps for my birthday treat, which totally pissed beatrice off. nah. i think i will bring them to…manhattan fish market.

if you look through this whole post, you will realise that there are practically no typos, or errors or grammar mistakes! i was reading through all the old posts and realised that i had alot of typo errors and they made my english sound really horrendous. this is especially so when the typos turn out to be grammar errors. i have since decided that i shall try as much as possible to blog in queen’s english and make as little mistakes as possible!

yay. three cheers for me!

lust, caution

2009-12-28T11:06:00.001+08:00

hi world.

the person typing this post is different from those typing the previous other post.

after much self examination..

i think i suffer from an illness

i think i have an disorder

i think i have

NPD.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder

they listed the symptoms..

has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
requires excessive admiration
has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

i fulfil quite a few!

i have a disorder! mental disorder!

argh!

anyway, ng peng is learning TCM from his grandfather.

look at my consultation with peng.

The King Of Pinetrees says:
*anyway, i am very very sad now
*i think i am suffering from a disease
*NPD.

Ng Peng merry 3rd day of christmas! says:
*huh why
*NPD?

The King Of Pinetrees says:
*can chinese medicine help?

Ng Peng merry 3rd day of christmas! says:
*wassat

The King Of Pinetrees says:
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder

Ng Peng merry 3rd day of christmas! says:
*HAH I KNEW IT. I KNEW N WAS NARCISSISTIC

The King Of Pinetrees says:
*WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT

Ng Peng merry 3rd day of christmas! says:
*but i was thinking narcissistic pinetree disorder

The King Of Pinetrees says:
*THE SYMPTOMS ARE THAT OBVIOUS?

Ng Peng merry 3rd day of christmas! says:
*lol abit

The King Of Pinetrees says:
*omygosh
*i need medication

Ng Peng merry 3rd day of christmas! says:
*TCM doesnt help psychological disorders lol

anyway, pro ng peng could tell just at a few lines that i was suffering from what kind of disorders. he is a great doctor in the making.

he is gonna take medicine in Uni. with his knowledge about TCM..he will be xue guan zhong xi..

but still, i wont be able to celebrate with him! since i have this particular odd disorder! and TCM cannot help! i am beyond hope!(and even the doctor, Dr. Peng was laughing at me during MSN consultation!)

i need help.

Outstanding?

2009-12-27T21:19:00.001+08:00

this shall be what i send in for OSA.

The four years in Hwa Chong gave me perhaps the highest as well as the lowest points in my life. Through these experiences, I emerged not only a better person, but also allowed me to continually revisit my values and faith and reaffirm my beliefs.

Through the various programs that I joined, I learnt a lot about communicating with others. The different opportunities allowed me to visit different working styles, different team dynamics and how to be a good team player or a leader. Essentially, I believe it is building relationships with the people around me. This relationship is built on trust and commitment and the product of the projects are the fruit of our labour, and they encapsulate the essence of the relationships.

Other than making more friends and having made advancements in the academics, the four years in Hwa Chong also provided me with an excellent platform to reach out to the people in need. More importantly, I have understood the need to give back to the society, and am convinced that I should give all that I can to the community around me. Reciprocating and volunteering my services for others has certainly become one of the priorities in my life.

The four years of joy, sorrow, hardship and mugging has helped me forged strong friendships which I will never forget. With these friendships are memories that will last a lifetime. oyeayura.

confessions of a late sleeper

2009-12-26T18:14:00.001+08:00

YOOHOO.

nearly completing my room makeover.

actually it isnt really a makeover since it only involves me shifting the furniture around the small small room and throwing/giving away things that i dont want.

this week’s been a pretty good week.

on wednesday, went over to ikea to do some reckying to get an idea of how i should pack my room and how i could introduce some ikea storage methods into my room..got an idea already, and now..i need money.MONEY.

*i failed after uploading the cutter photos. this is number 20+ times. horrendous. really horrendous.*

after that, i went over to Mr Sng’s place for christmas celebration! i was there EARLY!..too early.

and it was then i realised that i misread the email! the presents for exchange were supposed to be MINIMUM $5..i read MAXIMUM of $5. but still, it the thoughts that count.right?

had dinner, then chit chat-ted and then took photos..pretty good night that could very much round up one whole year.

i got a watch from mrs sng for gift exchange! HOORAY! always wanted to buy a watch after my old one spoilt..so..YAY. but i need to start to learn how to read analogue watches. i think i am dyslexic in reading analogues. i should totally kill myself if i cannot master it by next year.

so..after the meeting, i went home..

once i reached home..i settled in, checked emails..and then went to bed at 12++. read one chapter of Men in White.

then. before i know it, it was 12:38 pm already.

i was late for meeting with peng,bradley and dar!

ok. but i told them a lie.i told them that i was late because i went out of my house. then i saw a old lady who wanted to cross the road. so i helped her. then she said she wanted to get back to the other side as she left her things there. so i brought her back. then, as she was taking her things, the oranges from the bag fell out. so i had to pick them up. just then, a lorry came and squashed the oranges. the lorry driver was angry that his lorry has orange squash on it. so i had to clean the lorry.

which made me late.

but actually, i overslept.

it is the FIRST TIME i overslept for a meeting.

so anyways, in lightning speed, i bathed and got myself ready. then i went down…and waited for a taxi.

wait

wait.

apparently taxis dont drive themselves to my place on christmas eves!

i had to on call a taxi.

and this taxi took super super long to find the place! omygosh! i thought he travelled from china all the way here to fetch me! singapore is so small, yet he took more time then the amount of time i slept the last night.

got on to taxi. and then told the taxi dirver to go cathay.

since it was eve, there were JAMS everywhere. i suspect that it is because people knew i was on that taxi, so that drove slower as that they could perhaps catch a sight of MOI.

then…he drove to cathay..but me being a stupid me, thought that peng wanted to meet us at cathay orchard cineleisure. which is at orchard. so i told him to do a u-turn to orchard. when i reached, i ran to six floor, where there was supposed to be a ticket waiting for me. but ir ealised….i was at the wrong cathay!

it was supposed to be cathay cathay!

so i ran down orchard…istana and all the way to cathay.

and finally i got there. but luckily, when i got there, the movie was just in the initial phase..meaning that nothing much happened.

but something worse happened. my bowels were growling. and i didnt know why..so i suffered in pain for a god 1 hour plus while watching the chinese kill each other.

after the movie, we ate at hong kong xin wang cafe.

quite nice..

then i came home. home sweet home.

i shall never ever be late for meetings again.

p.s. bodyguards and assassins was quite a good movie. i bet someone altered my biological clock like what happened to the newpaper boss’s watch.

all the joy about giving!

2009-12-25T23:46:00.001+08:00

christmas is here!

what did you do on christmas day?

i spring-cleaned my room!

alot of people ask me why i do such chore on christmas, some even question why my room is in such a bad shape. but i think cleaning my room on christmas is a great great great idea!

firstly, i get my room clean before new year. i can also stock up pens, fancy stationeries and whatnots for my room during the post-chritsmas sale.

i dont know why but i like fancy and nice stationeries. though i dont really make full use of them.the sight of nice nice boxes, pens and all on my table makes me happy!

secondly, cleaning means i clear my room of stuff i do not want.

cleaning to many means throwing things away! for me..the definition is different. it is equivalent to throwing my trash into the study, store room and my sister’s room. she seem to love all my trash. so..i give it to her! win-win!

i really feel accomplished having cleared the big big stack of mess in my room. now i am looking forward to new year..with my new year’s list and my wish list

wish list!

1) havaianas

2) new bag(my old school bag is spoilt!)

3) D3000

and many more.

and some things i should settle..

1) stationery list

2) new years resolution

till then.

christmas is here to stay

BSP people!

including Cheong Keat, GuoXin, Wei Ze, BIng Lin, Lim KIat, Zhi Yuan, Xujie, Juan Lih, Daniel, HONG WEI..

realy had fun with the lessons with you guys! BSP lessons are like the most relaxed, informative and best lessons ever! but anyways, the two years would have been entirely different without all of you! from the beijing trips to the shanghai trips i think i have got to know alot fo you better and certainly these trips were mroe enjoyable with your presence!

H3 People!

Nelson!

i think you are a really respectable and responsible person! i very much respect the way you execute matters! but you can be a real bitch at times. as in. bitch bitch. which really piss me off. but nonetheless, you are a great friend and a good leader!

SKEE

woots! always had fun with ya! i think you are the only person who is always positive and nice…kudos for that! you make a great friend, great leader and certainly a GREAT classmate!

Jiaquan, Walter, Sherman

i shall group the three of you and talk..since you are always together! always had fun talking to you and you brought loads of laughter into my sec 4 life! pity i didnt get to know you guys earlier! but still, i enjoyed the great times with you!

Greg!

i think i only really got to know you this year. you always brought fun and laughter into the class! your presence(though you are more absent than present..)is always enjoyed! and i really respect your passion and enthusiasm for dramas and plays..as shown through your commitment during the HIC period. you are witty and certainly make a good friend!

EPHRIAM!

hellllooo slut! i think i only really got to know you after…beijing..when bradley and you started talking. anyways, you are one great friend to be with! always had fun with you..bitching about others, talking and slacking around..and all the whatnots we do together! and you are really clever too!( i will never ever forget how you got higher marks than me for chinese.)

YONG

you are a big big big liar. you always lie to me. out of 365 days, you lie to me for 366 days. but i always believe you( this dont show that you are a good liar. it shows that i am innocent.) but still, you brought alot of fun into my sec 3 and sec 4 life. you are one pai kia who can get 1.1 for eoy..perhaps the most memorable thing is how you taught me about dai. but sitll, you are one of the greatest friends around ya!

guochen

ANIMAL. you are one person who is very cmmitted to studies and certainly very good at studying! must relax at times and you will definitely enjoy your life more. you are quite a nice person to be with(except when the animal in you comes out)

YingCONG!

GOD! you never fail to load me with sarcasm and make me feel smaller than an ant. but still, you always brough fun and laughter and you are the typical and all-sooo-nice hwachong guy that every girl will die for!

YongXiang!

been with you for four years. this four years changed my life..and you played a part in it too! you are always so cmmitted to the things that you do..(to the extent it scares me), and you always give the best..and only the best! mediatech would have been different without you and though we have loads of differences in ideologies and bureucracy, i certainly respect you as a great chairperson!

IBP PEOPLE!

ALEX

i think IBP brought the two of us together. i remembered the first time at mr sng’s place when we realised that we had many many things in common and later evolved to become confidantes and great friends.. you make a really really good friend and confidante and secondary life would definitely have been different without you. but still, be reminded, promotion wont come anytime sooner. let me become an SC first. then we shall see.

Twex

got to know you better only when we both moved into F2! but really had fun when we were together. from the initial akwardness, to the bickering and the fun and laughter, i think F2 certainly left an impact in my S4 life! had i not been in F2 i would have missed out on so much. nevertheless, you are a really cute and nice person!

Nickee

knew you for a good four years! but i think we only got closer after we both moved into IBP..right? had loads of fun with you..and loads of hard times too. i dont know why but whenever i think of you..i think of that particular friday night when we were mugging chemistry..in twex’s room..while watching some anime. those times were certainly memorable. BUT fear not! thats not my only memory. there is still cold rock, bachelors night and 21 inch. yay.

Nigel!

eh. i think i got to know you in a very very strange way. we only got to know each other after a mugging session at Simply Bread right? after which…we had mroe mugging sessions everywhere, from SRC, to coffee bean, to tancg’s room and all. your pokes and funny jokes and being hei de really made my last few months in sec 4 really really great(amidst all the mugging). so hei de, way to go.

ernest!

only got to know you better through tancg’s room..but still..had fun with you around! will never forget how you squashed on me for dont know howmany times. but still..thanks for being there ya!

SHAOJI

i got to know you….when we were in F2! you were in my sec 3 science class? anyway, i believe that you are from my sec 3 science class..though i have no recollections whatsoever of your presence. but still, had fun with you during the F2 days!will never forget our nightly movie marathon spanning the last week of october! thanks for being a great great friend!

IZUMI

you are certainly a gifted and creative artist! you make a great leader and an even better friend! you are always so creative,(sometimes scheming), and always know how to go about to make the greatest impact or deliver the best! really had fun with you around! and way to go! may your council campaign for JC succeed!

JonSeng

i always go to your room to find you and you always welcome me with open arms. such hospitality is really heartfelt and all that i can ask for. but still, had great memories mugging with you and studying here and there. your jokes never fail to make me rethink about my humour vibes and you certainly bring life to the places you go

JianYang

YOU ARE SOO CUTE. i can never forget your funny comments and how your meticulous and meaningful little gestures to your friend! it was all too cute to forget and definitely shows how meticulous and caring you are! way to go!

WeiLun!

you are a very funny and witty person! you certainly have a talent in entertaining, but having said that, your studies are like super super good..with your extremely good results..and you definitely make a good friend, studying companion and definitely a great boading school mate! and you are certainly a great taylor swift fan. haha!way to go!

JUNYI!

you and your mac! always make me so envious. and now with your 5000D. i am JEALOUS. but still, you are funny and you are also very serious! aiya. think of you can only think of mac. i love mac now. i think you left an impact on my life. ahh..mac! i am so gonna get one macbook as my next lappy. MAC.

NICTAN

you are a good person for me to poke, make fun at and laugh at. but you also make a good friend and someone for me to talk to during boring chinese lessons.way to go with your taylor swift!(it doesnt mean that i agree with you that she is a good singer)

GALVIN SNG!

yay. see. lets see if you can find this ah. tag “pinetrees are great” is you read till this point. but anyways, you left an impact in my life. i think at every point of a person’s life, they need someone they cna talk to, share their thoughts and someone they trust and someone to give them that one or two advice. you are that someone to alot of people! alot of times, i find myself not wanting to barricade my sadness or problems on my friends and not willing to share my thoughts with them….but you are there as a person i can sahre with! and sharing makes you really really great and important..because i get to reflect, and get feedback..from someone i can really trust. and this kind of reflections and feedbacks are really important and good..if not..talking to a pinetree would have been better..right? but you act as a great person who will listen..and lead..and inspire. you make a great teacher!

christmas is here.

reason!

2009-12-22T21:44:00.001+08:00

the reason to watch AI 2010!

woots!

bradley is returning from cruise tomorrow!

i hope he can be ready for thursday’s bodyguard and assassin date though.

i need people to go on dates with me!

and i need tuition! i need intense math and chemistry lessons! urgh!

someone? anyone?

oh ya. i forgot..while i was on cutter..it rained..so i ended up peeing in the storm.

once in a lifetime!

met a lawyer

2009-12-21T19:22:00.001+08:00

today, my dad and i went to see a lawyer. not any other lawyer. but rather one that always gets involved in criminal cases.

we met subhas anandan.

this is really getting serious. i thought i could sue people for not reading my blog enough. perhaps it can be a new code to the criminal code “accused failing to read zisong’s blog despite having sufficient time and internet.”

but apparently, i can’t. all he said to me was…

he tried his best..and was wishing me my best for the case.

ok..enough of the crapping. was at boofest singapore to purchase stationeries when i decided to buy his part-autobiography. perhaps he knew i was going, de decided to go too!

so there was an interview with him

the interviewee was Radio DJ Junwei. his grasp of chinese and english was very very good! something i aspire to be like.. however, the questions he asked bored me to purgatory.so i left.

then when i came back, daddy decided to queue up to get his signature for me. how often do you get to see a criminal case lawyer in your life? i think this is once in a lifetime for me.

so..got his signature..and woohoo..

left.

his book is quite an interesting read! do read it if you have time!

i have several things on my to-do list

1) christmas shopping

2) pack up my room in time for new year

3) new year goals/resolutions

4) christmas post

hmm…oh ya. i forgot..but i think cutter is truly a once in a lifetime experience. meaning to say that you cant get this kind of experience anywhere else..and that..i wont go for it again.

yay.

Eyes to the BOW

2009-12-20T23:48:00.001+08:00

*YAY.OSA.means..i get the medal? i want the horse. boo.*

anyway, shall talk about day 3 and 4 now.

pretty much spent on the boat. sailing.

but when there is no wind, our deluded group will be looking here and there and at the slightest breeze will go “close haul!”. we suffer from delusion.

anyway, it is really really cool when we get to see storms approaching us! it is super super super cool!

when there is no wind, we just row. like

row, row, row you boat, gently down the stream.

oh ya. nearly forgot! i decnchored the boat on wednesday! was a terrible experience. the anchor was biting too deeply into the seabed. so i had to use loads of loads of strength to take the anchor up. wanteng was beside me, helping me. but her screams and yanks did not help. i was pissed. but at least she did help to encourage me. i was nearly tearing..

but still..we got eh anchor up..despite nearly dropping into the sea.

so…at night..we anchored near sembawang, got off the cutter and went on land for dinner. maggi mee was quite good..

then, we went back to cutter and slept on cutter. was quite good..at least i could sleep..until about 4..when it got all too cold and windy. apparently there will be stong gusts of wind before storms. apparently the calm before the storm isnt really true heh.

so as expected, we woke up to the storm. storm storm storm.

after the storm…we were all drenched..and..there was calmness after the storm..all to calm to even sail.

so..somehow or rather we managed to make our way back to base camp at camp 1.

washed everything up and ended the day with reflections. learnt something new though.

Johari’s window.

quite a good model for self-reflection. also did deltas and pluses for all members of the team.

apparently, i am a person who will not let emotions get in my way..but i have to take it chill..and apparently, i am too domineering at times. really eh?

someone please give me feedback.yay.

friday came!

we were first made to do a drawing using our hands and primary colours.

i drew cumulonimbus clouds that were raining in the front with thunder all around. as we know from geography, ……there will thus be lightning. at the sides of teh dark dark clouds, i drew two four leaved clover, representing luck. i belief in luck. i am a fatalist!

and then behind that i drew clouds and wind and sunny sunny sun. which was really important for sailing. see. my artistic talent.

the team effort proved to be worthy, especially when the combined effort resulted in…

oh, i forgot to mention, we were made to mess up the drawing using the left over paint, ensuring that there werent any spots of white. following that, we were given black and white paint to define and emphasize on the things we thought were of utmost importance. it represents that when we are back in the real working world, tehre wil be many distractions that bring us away fromt eh nice and perfect paradise we want. these are like th colours that went over our painting. however, we have to define what we really want and know them well…

following that we had an activity called rough escape. quite a nice game that put team work into action!i shall not elaborate as this game led to many fake accusations of me. made me sad.

after that…the next activity was on different leadership styles.

then, we were supposed to write down one thought of the most valuable lesson as a teamplayer and a team leader.

my favourite quote was from peiting(teamplayer), that we should all learn to listen. however, i loved delin’s explanation the best about hearing.

聽

this is the old way to write “listen” in chinese. it comes with a “ear” and a “king” it represents that when we listen, the king is the ear. then, on the right side, there is “ten” “eyes” and “one” “heart”, which shows that when listening, we must also use our eyes..and most importantly, our heart to hear.

but now, the word has evolved to

听

which is a “mouth” and a “weight”, showing that the mouth has more weight. this very much resulted in people talking when listening, thinking that by talking, one is listening.

then, we went on to the activity which required us to make something out of either logo or play-dough.

i used logo…and made a…

and i really really like it!

kind of sums up what i have leant, my beliefs and me…

the top is a heart. i represents that as a teamplayer..i must give my all. it also shows that as a leader, i must have compassion and lead with a heart. but essentially, i must have passion for what i do and feel for what i do..

the base is made of black and white tiles. they represent, firstly my foundations and secondly, my vlues and principles.

i am built in my foundations and i cannot forget what these are. school, family, friends and events shaped my to become who i am. so i ought to show gratitude. from the heart.

the white and black tiles represents the principles and values in belief and commit myself in. these things are certain and clear. there is no uncertainty in these things that i belief in. and so..the definite black and white. but also, it reminds me that whatever decision i make, i must revisit these values and ideals and stay true to my heart.

after that, we were made to cut out portions from the previously drawn canvas. and write down our favourite quotes….

then..we were made to read a letter we wrote to ourselves before the camp and write soemthing to ourselves six month after camp…

this was a really meaningful camp and really had an impact on me!

so yeah!

and thanks so much to yifang, peiting, delin, jasmine, pyae, techchuan, tracy for the camp!

now..i need someone to watch avatar with me. depserately.

anyone?

Point OARS!

2009-12-20T20:57:00.001+08:00

early early on tuesday morning, we woke up and all ready to go onboard cutter.

our cutter was called semangat. a malay name. together with us…there were two other cutters going sailing. they were the other OBS instructors. this week was supposed to be their “rest week”, since my group was the only group there! so as they are supposed the rest, they decided to do something they like, like…sailing. they simply love going through OBS again and again..dont they? even during their rest week. this is quite horrendous.

i am a pinetree. as everyone. or nearly everyone knows. that means i am rooted to the ground. (which kinds of explains why it is so difficult for me to do pull ups), but then, when you put a coniferous tree in a water-full region, the tree will obviously release more water through the stomata..and since coniferous trees had pin-like leaves to reduce water loss, sudden increment in water levels means that..you get a tree that vomits. i was sea-sick.

i think it is very difficult to imgine a sea sick tree. to unglamorous to post a photo of a sick king too. so instead, i shall show you a picture of me while i was recovering.

the things in my nose were my medicine. supposed to prevent me from puking any further.(since i practically vomited my whole breakfast already)

anyway, it was during sailing that i could understand the different terms explained previously. i really didnt understand what the heck a jib sheeter, main sheeter was. until i saw the things in operations then it occured to me what each term meant. so at night, we touched down at camp two..after playing with sailing quite a bit.

but anyways, it occured to me that team work is really important. without the whole team working together, we wouldnt be able to sail the boat(except when we power sail that is), but essentially, everyone plays a part.

one special thing about this whole team is that everyone is vocal. this is perhaps the first team i go to whereby everyone speaks their piece of mind. this is good because everything is frank and truthful. btu on the hindsight, this may prove to be a real problem when there are too many chiefs in the tribe.

but our group is a supportive group. we ten to support each other and help each other out, rather than directing each other around(which i am very used to). we were introduced to the 3p model. it is a triangle with each of the sides of the angle having a “p”. they are, people, process and product respectively. i think i am a more product person…compared to the other two qualities, i tend to put “product” as the main goal.

i remembered that we talk about leadership styles. tracy(our instructor) told us that being supportive is good, but we should adopt different styles. i beg to differ. this is essentially because i belief that different group has different dynamics and hence, should let nature takes its own course. since we have worked out that being supportive is the way to go, we shouldnt attempt to change it, for it may harm the equilibrium . but anyways, this kind of style is also different for the totalitarian-authoritative me.

we touched down on camp 2 at night and then started cooking dinner. after which we pitched tents…and then slept. we had sentry duties..my shift was from 12-2. we were supposed to look after the cutter during sentry duty to ensure that it doesnt drift off. but i didnt do that! i vomited for two hours. i gave my dinner to the sea as well.

pretty much sums up day 2.

OBS Cutter Expedition!

2009-12-20T01:19:00.001+08:00

woots!

~omygosh. something drastic happened to my itunes library. it lost all its memory. deaded.~

anyways, early early on monday morning, i made my way to PUNGGOL Jetty!

the day pretty much started off with us playing teambuilding games and creating our personal goals and our team charter.

our team charter was…

anyway, it reads

born as individuals,

met as strangers

grew as a team

emerged as one

after creating all the goals we had and the expectations of ourselves, we went on to play team building games!woots!

we first started with trust fall, which requires us to stand on a platform and fall down on a sheet held on by the others. supposed to give us trust to the others. i did it pretty well. with no hesitation. i think i trust people too much. i think i am the gullible innocent boy.

following which, we had rock climbing!thanks to yifang, i managed to make my way up to the highest point of the rock wall!

after the activity, we had blind-rockclimbing. this required us to climb the wall blindfolded. i pretty muich also listened to the directions that yifang gave as there were too many people talking. i hate noisy situations. i need peace when i work!

her directions led me to the top yet again! yay!i think it is easier for me to climb blindfolded as i had no qualms or anything. i just did as told. this can be a really risky thing as i was entrusting my all into the others and my intuition. but still, i managed to acheive success! when i was not blindfolded, i relied not on other people’s directions or my intuition, but rather, my own judgement, or perceptions

i think this is the case for many things i do, or actually, many others also does this. because of their prejudice and judegment, they tend to be scared and not daring enough to commit to things or do activites. however, when the ability of relying on themselves are taken away from them, they cna only use intuition(i BELIEVE in intuition!) and the help from others. this can get one into real hot soup…and perhaps sticky situations. but on the other hand, it cna bring us to even greater acheivement, greater belief in our own abilities and certainly more trust in our own teammates.

then, we reviewed the results. we did not reach our team goal for both the rock climbing activity, but however, some of the people did get their personal goal. (because there was a time limit, not all was allowed to climb..as such compromising the team goal)

then, came the question of reaching goals. should we put the organisation’s goal before our own?

what i personally believe is that each organisation certainly has to reach their own KPI/goals. but however, the team should also allow the members to attain their own goals. its only when people can challenge themselves, improve themselves that they become more competent. and this is good for the organisaiton as a whole! and furthermore, it will “keep” and ensure a certain loyalty to the organisation wouldnt it? i believe that organisations should not only work on their own goals, but also help the employees/members to reach their own personal goals and improve on themsleves. this will essentially benefit the organisation.

this pretty much sums up day 1.

shall post on day 2 later.

but anyway, OBS cutter is the BEST camp i have been to. this is one of the camps that allows sufficient time for reflection/sharing and allows us all to know each one of us and ourselves better.

i am thinking of converting to a Pescetarian. i am not sure if i can commit…but i love eating fish! and i dont eat beef, i dislike the taste of mutton, hate the fattyness of pork and dont like chicken skin. should i stop eating all these meat?

i am still considering. hah. i dont want to commit and then back out. hmmph. i think i will decide by the new year.

back!

2009-12-20T00:02:00.001+08:00

after days of being disconnected from the virtual and material world, i came back from UBIN.

still in the process of creating the OB post. which is really taking a long time since my photos are not sending themselves to facebook as much as i want them to and the terror of having my itunes library getting memory loss happened!

urgh!

now i have to re-rate my songs and re-create the different categories. this is certainly irritating. coupled with the fact that i am very tired from the trip and have yet to buy any christmas pressies and that i have yet to finish writing all my christmas post and that christmas is in 5 days time. this is certainly horrendous. i need time. more more time.

irritatingly horrendous.

2009-12-16T00:00:00.000+08:00

happy birthday bradley

i was searching for this!

2009-12-13T21:42:00.001+08:00

i have been searching high and low for this song. and thanks to GORDON. i found it

anyway, note to peng. i found it!

the other day, i told peng peng to help moi find a song with lyrics that sounded like..”all i really wanted was~”

we failed in our attempt to find the song.

cos the lyrics was instead..

“all the right friends in all teh wrong places~”

but still..i got one word correct right?

yay. three cheers for me

anwyay, it is quite scary that gordon actually found the song! and he actually told me about it! i didnt even tell him about the song. this is spooky. i think he has been trying to read my mind.

anyway, i promised 20 chirtmas post. but after waking up today. i realised that i wasnt in the mood for 20 people. so…i will do it when i come back from OBS cutter!

I WILL!

i promise!

SANDRA BULLOCK FOR BEST ACTRESS!

2009-12-13T00:40:00.001+08:00

i really really love sandra bullock and her shows! and she is nominated for best actress for the Academy Awards!

anyway, the show she was nominated for is

and i think it is a pretty nice story! she is one of the very very few people who looks good in banks!

anyway, today was an eventful day! after the high 5 meetings, i went to meet up with my parents. they were having a gathering with their friends.

anyway, i am veyr impressed by my mother and her friends..they have been together for mroe than 30 years! there is one more bunch of primary school friends who she is still very very close to!

i am not really sure if that can happen to moi.

but anyways, the content of the gathering was pretty much R-rated.

for example..they were talking about having kids

friend 1(female):(to my dad) you want to have more children right!

dad: YA!

(subsequently they asked all the guys in the gathering)

mum: sometimes accident cannot be helped one right!

friend 2(male):*smiles*

friend 3(wife of friend 2):lucky i cannot have alr!

friend 1: WHY NOT?

friend 3: cannot already! closed SHOP!

friend 1: woah! so you all happy hour already lurh!

anyways, having parents discussing about active sex lives in front of you really isnt a good thing.

i am a young.innocent.boy.

but some people choose to make me seem very evil and cunning and scheming!

but nevertheless…i shall write a simple christmas post for you since ya all requested it!

here goes!

to vivant!09 camp committee!

really thankful that you actually accepted me into the team! i suppose i was pretty awkward for us all at first but then..things turned out well(i think..)i amreally fortunate to be working with you guys for my first project! you all were fun-loving and nice people! that really make me want to commit myself to High 5! i think i brought some trouble as there were some screw-ups in the logistics! really sorry! i will do my best to ensure that this will never happen again!

for the individuals..i think i have written little notes to you which i choose to believe is legible! my handwriting is abstract and takes a more artistic form right!

hmmph..perhaps to wanling!

thank you for accepting me into high five! and…i am not scheming and cunning! i would have joined vivant as a participant if i was required to! But i think joining the camp com allowed to to learn even more and experience even more than a participant. and for that, many thanks to the committee and to you! i think that you a re a really nice persona and have a certain charisma..and you certainly make a great leader! hope to have the opportunity to work with you(if you are still going to be active in high five that is..)

ahhhh..i am tired…and i still have to prepare for cutter next week!

i realise that i have another approximately 30 people on my christmas list. i shall try to get 20 done tomorrow and sent all the posts up through auto-posting!(this is a really good feature of live writer!)

till then!

gordon’s got a surprise for me!

2009-12-12T00:40:00.001+08:00

was at Vivant! 09 last week!

had the time of MOI life. i am sure everybody will. especially when you get activities on the beach.

then you go to the beach and find that the beach loves your blog

see! thats the impact. then i continued walking..and i found out that they were preparing a concert for MOI.

i thought that they were preparing it for me as i saw “z” and “o”..so i thought they were spelling “ZisOng” or something along that lines. i was so happy until i read the subtitles “a dance music festival”. this probably means that i have to start learning how to dance and sing.

do-rae-mi-christmas is here for me~!

but anyways, talking about christmas..i was reminded of..CHRISTMAS POST!

so here it is DUOGEN. so naggy heh.

you are a fabulous person! i think thats why you are called the future husband! your friendly disposition, gentlemanly behaviour and charisma must have won the hearts of many. i suppose this is also why you are council president! muahahah. i think you are certainly a person who can get your ideas across easily and is able to give clear directions(like during the games..where i myself thought that my own instructions sounded alien)..you are able to handle situations and make things go righhhht…

hmmph. but i really want to know why i am a wierdo.

apart from that..i think your willingness to commit and passion for vivant also motivated me!(like ponning your class chalet early to come back!..but not really so when you daoed my emails for logistics planning..) but i suppose i had loads of fun with you around! you yourself is one POSITIVE, NICE, MOTIVATIONAL and CARING person. heh. POSITIVE!

i think i am also very positive. maybe thats why i always tend to simplify matters and other people’s emotions.

anyway, regarding EXCO 09-10..i am joining. i hope you will too! but dont let me influence you! make your own decision(see..i am starting to be at command)…and i suppose everything will turn out well.

tada.

Sec 1 life

2009-12-10T17:17:00.003+08:00

Today i shall talk about my teachers in sec 1!

Let's see....
Form Teacher/ LSS teacher: Chu-Chia!
Okay I shall be truthful here. She is actually quite lame. Like how she spams us with ACE, even for activities we dont do heh. But only found out at the end of the year when some people from 1F said she doesnt give ACE to them. But she also tries to be lame la. AND HER BABIES ARE SOOO CUTE. Oh yes. She is like her car heh.

Chinese teacher was 纪老师!! Sigh she is a super good teacher. Too bad she had to leave. Still remember when she was going to scold someone on a day, she will wear black! And how she made Kenneth Zhou Sutjipto cry! hahaha super funny. Her way of teaching was good and interesting at the same time!

English was Mrs Jaya! Cant remember much now. Only remember the brilliant sarcasm she uses when irritating people talk in class. And how everyone was in shock when she came back from sick leave, where she became super slim all of a sudden.

Geog was Mr Lim cc. I used to think he was a good teacher. But now, come to think of it, he asks us to do mock test/ whatever, then asks us to mark ourselves -.- But the way he explains geog stuff is kinda funny.

History...Mr Tan. I think his lessons are SUPER BORING. he speaks loudly but no one knows what he is saying. And there are lessons spent on lorms which I didnt really understand.

Literature. Mrs JKEE. Rmb her lame way of giving out OP. Good Question! *gives one tick* VERY GOOD QUESTION! *GIVES 2 TICKS* . Oh ya, I also rmb one of her lessons. She was talking about alternative thinking i think. and she used herself as analogy, where she went to wear pants but her pants couldnt fit. So instead of thinking that she became fat, it is because she went to gym more often. This made the class laugh like crap hahahhaa.

Oh. I WAS THE FACILITIES SEC IN SEC 1 !!! SEE THE CLASSROOM WAS SO CLEAN BECAUSE OF ME.

i shall end this post here.

a bit of family history

2009-12-09T10:48:00.000+08:00

if you saw the previous post on family and is wondering which one is moi, its the boy in blue.

anwyay, thats a very very old family photo.

it does not feature the 6 new cousins that i have, does not feature my new aunts..and all. and of course, does not feature the new moi.

ok anyway, my dad told me the other day that my grandfather found his 祖籍 in fujian, in other words, his ancestral home.

my dad is the first male son

i am my dad’s first male son.

my grandfather is the family’s first male son.

we are the first son’s gang!

BUT NO! it dont sound good!

so..he wants me to go back to fujian next year to pay respects to my ancestors! AHHHH.

my mum was telling me about how we may find a pot of gold or fortune from our ancestors..and since we were the first sons, we can get hold of it.

yea right.

it has been more than 70 years already! maybe it isnt a bad idea to go back and pray to my ancestors. so many things you guys can give me! right?

like perhaps..hoping that i can be on board the ark in 2012, hoping …in any case..so many things i can wish for!

but..i think the place is already dilapidated already. had there been any gold..people would have taken it already..right?

in any case, lets sit back and hope! but i am not enthusiastic about the trip because fujian isnt really nice or woah! and that..maybe i will unravel some gruesome family history..like perhaps my great great great ancestors were bandits/gangsters..ARGH!

or perhaps..it may be good. maybe i am of royal birth.

wait. yes. i think i am of royal birth.

just like that!

on saturday, i popped by jurong point to buy myself a water bottle..

while i was there….there was a huge crowd awaiting for moi!

there is this huge camera that i think he tried to use to snap a photo of me! unknown to him , i have a photo of him too!

yes. the huge crowds love me. i think they heard my campaign for 5000

ok..enough of joking, they were there to support the “together” cast. they jammed the whole mall and caused traffic problems. this is horrendous.

hopefully i get such a welcome next time.

also, i fell in love with one carrie underwood song! surprisingly!

if i am not wrong the lyrics read

You’re just a fool

just a fool

you believe you can change the world

Not a fool

not a fool

Lim Zi Song shall change the world~

cool right!

thought so too!

i think its high time that another "christmas post”

here goes

i gazed out of the window. the sun just rose. the clouds were fluffy with a chance of meatballs. they seemed to fill with happiness, hope..and there were no boundaries to these clouds..they were everywhere. the sun shone as brightly as ever.

the rays hit on to the glass panel.one by one.one by one.(i couldnt make out which one with which one though)

one. one. one. one. it was all one. one hope. one ray. a ray of happiness.

sun,

it is always there, ready to brighten up our lives.

clouds.

always as pleasant as ever, bringing joy to the world.

blue blue skies

though blue, it brings about bouts of hope to the people…

it withholds memories, happiness of many people..the bright bright days. the beautiful cloudscapes.the ever picturesque sky.always filled with happiness, joy, laughter.

i looked. i peered. i felt the rays. i embraced the bright bright sky.

as adapted from “a torrent of torrents” by how kwang ming. the original version is..

I gazed out of the window. The skies were dark and the ominous clouds rolled into the picture, framed by the small metallic window grills. It didn't take too long for the rain to come.

They hit the glass pane at astonishing pressure and speed. Sending vibrations coursing up the window into the curtains.

A drop.

Two.

Four.

Eight.

Fill in the equations yourself - They came down exponentially.

Torrents.

Rain.

It really doesn't know when to end.

Wind.

It blew through the small cracks of the window sill, bringing a howl ever so incessant.

Thunder.

Its mind-boggling scream sent vibrations shivering from the eardrums down the spine.

Lightning.

It shot down to the ground like owl on its prey - only fast-forwarded.

It beholds a piece of an unfortunate memory. Thunderstorms. Wet soaking shoes that take forever to dry. Frantic drying of wet papers. But it still keeps a small speck of joy that can only be found, when we search for it. That pair of wet soaking shoes, kept me a piece of unforgettable memory - a beautiful and awesome experience for everyone of us to share, and to keep. It beholds the time you only manage to keep your head dry under that almost-useless umbrella in a raging thunderstorm.

Seated, snugged warm in my seat I peer out of the window again.

Rain, was a thing to smile at, after all (:

yes!how kwang ming! you are featured for my christmas post!

hah!

i suppose i knew you when you were sec 2..and then the start of sec 4 i heard rumours from my reliable favourite teacher about beijing!(the impression was really really bad)..

then somehow..we were placed together in F2/08!

you have a talent in everything. be it studying, gaming, singing, composing, loving, guitaring, speech making, dancing. you are awesome.

perhaps thats why alot of people like you and you have so many close and great friends. you have certainly helped me in alot of ways and staying with you has been fun, and GREAT.(except for the time that you told me that there was physics exam instead of chem exam. scammer)..your notes proved to be wonderful and studying with you around proved to be awesome!

i suppose your many talents and your commitment to the things you like to do has brought you many many opportunities and certainly more friends..though we always bicker..but i find that you are a great addition to the room. as in as a roommate! the last half year would have been totally different without you!

i dont know why..but people with surname lim, who are clever and nice seem to be affiliated to you and seem to enjoy your presence.

DONT THINK TOO MUCH.

that person is me.

awkward family situations..

2009-12-06T22:04:00.001+08:00

have you ever had any awkward family situations?today..i had one super super awkward situation..

so today, my father’s cousin got married(woohoo!)..so he told the whole family to go to his cousin’s house for a celebration.

so i asked him “who is invited?”

reply:”his close family members lorh..”

me:”we very close? i never see him before!”

him:" got lah! just that you dont remember!”

me:”sure! whats his name by the way?”

him:”i dont know…dotn ask such question lah.”

mum:”ya lah. you know your cousin’s chinese name meh”

me:”called leonard, timothy…eh. but whats their chinese name huh?”

mum:”see! you also dont know your cousin’s chinese name! so daddy(she calls my dad “daddy”), whats your nephew’s chinese name ah”

dad:”hmmmm?”

yep. so off we went to this unknown counsin-uncle’s house!

when we reach there..it was filled with people we dont know. then, we met MY grandparents..so..my grandma called me over and then called me to address everyone..all teh elders..

so i smiled and followed what she told me. for everyone present, i got scolded at least one time for wrong pronunciations, wrong address, etc.

meanwhile, my parents were missing in action. i doubt they know them too.

so we sat and ate at the buffet reception which was filled with once again, people we dont know. dad kept saying we met them during cny before. had it been the case, i would ahve remembered them for giving me ang pows right? stingy relatives!urgh!

then, we met the groom! dad was happy!

then the groom looked at me. i smiled at him.

it was tense. awkward..we talked. after much deliberation between my dad, his consciousness, his chinese vocab and logic, we settled that i should call him “shu shu”, uncle in chinese.took 5 minutes for that miracle to happen!

then..we decided to meet the bride! yay! once again, we were thrown into the dilemma whereby i dont know how to address her. after much more deliberation, “tang-shen”..

then while we were leaving the place, i saw this

my family photo. heh. why do they keep MY family photo at their house?

i think they are stalking me. after much thoughts, i realised that the bride and groom stayed in their rooms most of the time. perhaps they have a whole repository of my facebook photos or photos when i was young. i have been stalked!

anyway, it was really awkward. but this better means ONE MORE ang pow for me next year!

I AM COUNTING. 1…2..3…merrier the more, triple fun that way, i dont see the harm, so are you game?

*spore idol uses “3” as the advertisement song for the next episode. they rock!

somehow, “z” is a magical letter

2009-12-05T22:57:00.001+08:00

yay. shall post today!

since i am in such a serious, emo mood, i shall do christmas post!

the next two featured are….best juniors!

Z+Z

since i am blogging in a random order and since you just returned from the capital of infallible government,i shall blog about you!

yay. favourite juniors. i think the whole mediatech doesnt know, but out of all the mediatech juniors..i think zongchen is the best(its not very apparent right? i am impartial, just, un-biased, right?)

yep. so ZACKSEE.

here goes.

eh. i think i first knew you when you were in sec 2 and i was in sec 3. and th efirst impression wasnt really good. like..who will have a good impression when you write “zongchen” then points tot eh middle and states”no space” and to the c and say “lower block”..for a busy secretary like moi..its extremely irritating. then..off i flew to the great city where there is perpetually no natural water. when i came back..i was so caught up in things i also didnt really “see” you..up till..when yongxiang told me you took great photos..thats when the photos caught my attention and subsequently the photographer.

you certainly are a great junior..who is interesting, nice and deserving. at least your PR is better than the you-know-who. in any case, i think you make a better vice chairman compared to me..at the very least, you specialise in photography! something which i am still grappling with..and you are nice, kind and i believe you should be able to work well with you-know-who..compared to me..who skipped club sessions, argued with the you-know-who during my time, suffer relegations..and ya..so i think you should have more confidence in yourself…and you should make a great vice chairman!it would be even better if you are more enthusiastic and is more decisive.

i think it was a great experience working with you..heh..and you brought fun and laughter into the discussions while ensuring that work is completed. woots.

i still use the flip coin method you taught me. no you didnt exactly teach me…you told me..hah

“Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.”

Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)

next up..is….

zee chuan!

heh.

i think we first knew each other from…CSE orientation right? and you were from fishing club..right? but then..i dont know how..we began to talk.(THIS SHALL BE ONE OF THE POSTS! think about how we first talked!..and perhaps..my first impression of you!")

but then, i suppose we kind of hit it off well(is this the correct phrase?my english i failing!) eh. we somehow could talk, know how to talk and had fun ah. i think your presence really livened up the atmosphere! i think you can make a good leader…just that..hmmph..dont throw your weight around? thats all i suppose..if not you are a great friend, great junior, great leader and certainly a great person!

“One of the hardest tasks of leadership is understanding that you are not what you are, but what you're perceived to be by others.”

A Time to Talk
by Robert Frost

When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, 'What is it?'
No, not as there is a time talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.

Friendship Sonnet
by William Shakespeare

When to the session of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death¹s dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish¹d sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.

But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.

when cows cackled.

2009-12-05T00:27:00.000+08:00

today was a great day!

after getting checked for Outward Bound..then went to the central..

and after that.met up with twex, ernest and nickee to go to..Settlers cafe.

so there..we had loads of fun. playing generally board games..

it has quite a nice ambience

so we started with this STRATEGY GAME

called…i forgot the name already. but anyway, it is quite complicated..and simple minded me didnt get it initially..so i lost! terribly!

so..angry me decided that we should play something that could vent our anger.

and their service is really really good..considering that they FOUND THE RIGHT GAME

YEP! BAMBOLEO!

sounds odd?

its something like

so the plate is balanced on the pole..

and on the plate..we have many many little wooden blocks!

so..it uses PHYSICS theory.

MOMENTS.

and when i say its a good game..its because..i never LOST!

YES. lets see a sample video!

I CANT UPLOAD IT HERE! argh!

the link is at

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=215166421677&ref=mf

hmph.

yepp. the winner gets to smash the hammer on the loser’s head! SO FUN!

tag-the biggest loser.

ok..

then after that we played another card game.

the games goes like this..each player draws an animal..and makes the noise the animal makes. then, the animal is hidden from view

then..everyone gets a stack of cards. we put them out sequentially.when two player has the same cards, they must call out the sounds of the other player.

sounds simple? not so..when cows start to cackle, chickens tend to moo and ducks made all the combined noises. i dont know why..i keep mixing them up. horrendous.

then..we played something to cool down from all the shouting/crazy quaking and animal imitating.

SAY ANYTHING.

its a nice game..so what happens is all the players get 2 credits.

then, we start from one person..he can choose if he wants to pick a card and read from it or use his own question. so the person asks. then the others write their answers on a whyteboard. then, the answers are shown together.

the person who asked will then select the answer closest to his opinions, but he does not reveal it.

the others will place bets on the answers base on their impression of the “asker”. subsequently, the answer is revealed and points are given for nearest answers/bets..

quite a good game!

i did something wrong!

2009-12-04T01:02:00.001+08:00

i am big about truths. as shown in my previous post..so…yep. i did something bad. really really bad.

because i was thinking

“eh. 5000 hits leh. and someone just spite me to say that 3000+ came from old blog..i should hold competition hor..then can compete..”

so i went to this particular person’s blog, went to the source page and koped the counter and placed it below mine..like this

yep. the old highlighted in orange.

then i tried to go to my blog and view to see how the template worked out.

then i realised that the counter from “someone’s blog” keeps on increasing!

so i decided to do trial tests and realised that everytime i visit oyeayura..the counter on that blog jumps too!

i did something wrong! i helped another person CHEAT HIT!

i feel so utterly guilty, ashamed..etc.

and hence, i shall post more from my CHRISTMAS POST!

after i posted the post for my dear dardar(ren), i told him i was introverted(yes, i really am!), and hence i do not dare to post on FB. but then he said “you psted it on your blog still..”..i suppose it is because i want people to know that i appreciate them and that they are appreciated! i am big on appreciation and i totally LOVE appreciation..so i am very willing to give it too! hah!

so..talking about appreciation, i am reminded about my IBP ToastMasters Final Speech.

let me see if i can find it..

Script for ToastMasters

How many of you have friends?

How many of you have BEST friends?

I have two friends who have impacted my life greatly. Today I'm going to share with you about them, how they have taught me three things about building relationships. I shall call my first friend “president” I do not think he wants his identity to be divulged. The second shall be called Bradley, simply because he is named Bradley.

Most of us have best friends who may not share many of your thoughts and way of life. In fact our best friends can be completely different, diametrically opposing at times.

My friendship with “president” is perhaps one of the most apt examples. We have known each other since sec 1. He is from a cca that deals with rifles. We only got closer in Sec 3 when we both enrolled into a new programme that the school offered. He appears to many as stern, serious, indifferent but I know him inside out. Perhaps it is due to nature, or maybe nurture. The two of us look at problems or situations from very different angles. For example, on the issue of scholarships. The school has been actively promoting for us to aim for scholarships. One day he told me, I don’t really like people who aim for scholarships. You may think that this is absurd. But to “president”, because people who AIM to get a scholarship tend to participate actively in all kinds of activities to boost their portfolio, not out of interest but with the agenda of beefing up their resume. To him, this is being hypocritical. There is no sincerity involved. However, my take on the issue is different. I understand that I want a scholarship, so I also plan to engage in different activities. Yes, I also have an agenda, but I try my best to learn from each activity and enjoy myself. I may or may not get the scholarship, but I definitely will get the experience from the activities. This is just one of the minor issues that we occasionally argue about. However, at the end of the day, we are still close friends as I learn that this deviation allows me to appreciate dissimilar views, be open-minded and strengthen our friendship as we learn to understand and tolerate each other.

Understanding is essential in building relationships, but through my friendship with Bradley, I learn something even more important-effort. Friendship is like nurturing a plant. You need love, care, water, etc. but essentially, it all boils down to EFFORT. I have known Bradley since sec 3 and we became closer at the end of last year. He is totally different from “president”. He is wild, and full of fun. He is also exceptionally clever, and to quote him after tests “Close my eyes also can get A1!” His jovial attitude has helped him gain many friends.. But then I realize something else in him. Bradley puts in effort in all his friendships. He takes note of the likes and dislikes of each buddy and he ensures that his friend is always comfortable and at ease. One incident that really struck me was when I was attending a convention and could not be in school. Bradley painstakingly collected all the worksheets for me. You may think that that is a small action, but bradley actually annotated and laboriously noted everything the teacher mentioned that day. He also takes note of the things happening around the school. We are both in the international affairs club. At times, there is a lot of work for the two of us to do. He will call me up and tell me…and following that, the two of us will disappear from the face of earth together. Bradley’s conscientiousness and effort is something that I am really impressed with.

Having looked at effort and understanding, I now move on to the third point about what these two friends of mine have given me. Everyone seeks assurance in a friend – someone whom we can rely on. Whatever secrets I share with these two friends, I have confidence they will not betray my trust. They are always there to lend me their ears, be it my joy or sorrow. Sometimes, when I am down, I just need to approach them and their assurance gives me stability and security.

Finally, we always think that our friends know what we are thinking, and at times we take them for granted. However, many a times, our friends are actually clueless about our thoughts. Hence, today, I urge you to go to your best of friends to let them know how you feel about them, thank them for being there for, thank them for making the effort to maintain strong ties, thank them for tolerating you, thank, thank them for being true to you.

anyway, the other person is gordon if you havent guessed. i put this up here..for people to read..and hopefully the person i want to show read this. HAH. dont scold me!

anyway, back to DANKYEW..since i appreciated them during my speech, i think i should talk more here.

BRADLEY SOH!

in fact you were supposed to be featured with darren with “the people i respect the most”..and hence the usage of “people” instead of persons. i suppose you dont come from a moral high ground..which alot of others tend to come from..and that you are always so fun, so insightful, so enjoyable to be with.

i still remembered the first time i actually got an impression of you was from the accident(unfortunately)..its really surprising that we didnt know that we were in the same BSP group..in teh same class for around eight months! i must have been blind.(the funny thing is..you also didnt realise we were in the same BSP group.)..but then..from i dont know when..we started talking. primarily about devils. (right?), and hence the search of the chinese devil over in china while you dwell on the things in spore. hmmph..always had fun with you!

if you were to ask me why you got into the “respect” list, i suppose its because of your work attitude..how you are a perfectionist and wants to be perfect in everything. and that you do small little things that i am really impressed with(including picking up litters from the floor to dispose)..and that you have this charisma that seems to draw everyone to you. i think you make a very very very great friend.

i think i am most appreciative of the birthdya gift you agve me! the one on voodoos. i especially liekd the fake voodoo doll(of me, unfortunately), thta you made. i couldnt imagine you staying back until 7+ to get that thing done with alex! and there was Bio test the very next day! i was really really moved. and since the establishment of THE CLUB and THE Bradley’s school of Magic, i suppose i have had much more fun than before..so i really really appreicate you!

“To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.”

e e cummings (1894 - 1962)

the next person is..gordon

though you tend to be ambiguous and that i dont know what you are thinking at times, i dont know why…but you also have a charisma that tend to draw me to you..(up till this point it occured to me that you will never ever read this post).

to be frank, i think we are entirely different people. you live in a world where you have to play hid and seek and battle with inferiority and other people’s maturity..while i live in a fatalist, superficial, ellen degeneres world.(and you dont even know who ellen and oprah is..). i know from the day i designed the speech that i am not your best friend, or in fact, not even a close friend, but i dont know why..but i still keep you as on of the besties..maybe you stay there as a character that helps me do self- check(because of the difference in personality, that is)..but yepp..i still have to thank you for putting up with my crap, and being you.

“Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others.”

Ellen DeGeneres

i think you dont expect this..but the next person i really realy want to thank is

NG PENG.

i think you are one of my best friends in sec school.

to be frank with you..i feel the most carefree when i am around you…and thats why the crazy antics and singing and the funny spastic actions. but essentially, i think you make a good friend and you are a very vey very nice person.

from the project..to my crap..i think it is super super difficult to find someone who can endure my crap and the things i tend to do to my good friends..but you can! and thats why i feel so carefree around you! i enjoy you accompany and love your presence!

you funy actions, funny comments, and willingness to listen to my crap really really fuels me..and makes me excited.(thats why i seem as if i am always on ectasy around you)…but then again..i think you are certainly very veyr well loved by everyone around you! that explains the super high blog count and some other blogger’s stupid attempt to kope your blog count to compete with you!HAH!

i think the feeling is not only from me..but instead..alot others feel the same way. you angelic nature and the way you handle friendships really makes you a great buddy, friend and someone trustable and reliable. hmmph. i suppose you will make a good husband and a good friend!

when i said that you are my BBFFF on facebook..i meant it.

“I believe that [everyone] is the keeper of a dream - and by tuning into one another's secret hopes, we can become better friends, better partners, better parents, and better lovers.”

Oprah Winfrey (1954 - ), O Magazine, June 2003

i think thats all i can say.(by the way, i quoted from three of my fav. people for my besties..)

to my besties..THANK YOU.

cos i want it!

2009-12-03T23:06:00.001+08:00

i saw a lomo in jurong point 2 yesterday! and i fell in love with it. IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

so yesh! i am gonna buy it and play with it. so dont be shock when you see me whip out my WIDE ANGLE infront of you!

and if you are kind and generous enough..buy me blackbird,fly or fuji instax. i will fall in love with you! immediately!

world view

2009-12-02T23:46:00.001+08:00

i read alot of blogs recently.(actually i always read alot of blogs), because blogs tend to be one of the only places where people will openly voice their opinions and all(ok..this is for another time), but rather, it seems that there are alot of people out there that think very deeply, think about life, question about certain ideas..like for example…(koped from nickee’s blog..anyway, in decided that other than online tutorials i shall respond to other people’s blog post so that there is rapport between blogs! can increase readership of all blogs ya!)

so nickee’s blog started off by questioning about people feeling bothered…

bothered that others do not reciprocate ur friendship? not really..hah. i need appreciation and approval..and that would fuel me i think. the need for appreciation shall be for another blog post i suppose!

bothered about why others just dont seem to reply to your sms?no! surprisingly..i am just scared if its work and the other party didnt read it in time!

bothered that others reply ur msn convos with short & sian replies? yes. with the new lol being equivalent to “i have nothing to say”, this really bothers me. i need people to listen..perhaps thats why i enjoy talking to certain people(next blog post)

bothered that others just dont start a convo with u first on msn?do we really have so much to talk about?

bothered that others care more about someone else compared to you?no..i care about people i care..and give all i can give. i am just afraid to show it. especially when it comes to my immediate family(another blog post)

bothered that others are ignoring you on purpose?certainly. i am very very very scared of this. this can be the most deadly weapon or tactic anyone can use towards me. as mentioned previously, i need approval..so ignoring me is sending the message that i am doing something wrong

bothered that others are going out but did not ask you along?yes! i will feel left out. but i am trying to get over this whole thing. sometimes its just a clique thing and i am simply not in the clique…so..let natrue take its course!

bothered that others are still friends with people u hate?no..i believe that everyone should have their own personal space no matter how close you are. two people cant be exactly the same..

bothered that others are seemingly cold towards you all the time?hmmph. yes. not afraid..but then a kind of fear builds up within me and manifests to become something like a inferiority complex..

yepp. so..i think i have a tendency to simplify alot of things. but essentially, i think my world view has three main pillars

1. Truth hurts. but it sets people free.

so, tell people the truth! be it appreciation, critique or anything else, tell them the truth! in a tactful manner of course!

2. Everything happens for a reason

so..dont question or rant about what happened! it has its own purpose!(if you are thinking, yes, i am a fatalist)

3. Personality can open doors, but only characters can keep them open

thats why its so important to stay true to ourselves and also give back when its time to!

i think my world view has more things then that..but it can be summed up there..but i think i am the only one sure of it! maybe i can do a new year “things i know for sure” about myself!

i think we need to be simple. look at things simply and appreciate the things around us!

thats all!

its inching here!

2009-12-02T22:40:00.001+08:00

thanks to all the help i think 5000 is inching towards me. though at snail rate. its still good!

and since i started 5000 campaign, the blog count jumped quite abit from the previous count. so i think that equates to people liking my blog…

so i thought and thought for the whole of today and decided…since you all love my bog so much, and i want you to visit it..we shall make it simpler!

MAKE THIS PAGE YOUR HOMEPAGE.

yes. this is one good idea..my friend keep telling me.

but then..there was a problem..some people dont know about changing homepages and how to do it. so after much work…i have put together a tutorial

MMYHP tutorial

taking into consideration by the straits times that IE is the most frequently used web browser, i designed a tutorial package using IE. but knowing that all my blog readers are with high intellect, i am sure you will know how to do the same for your own browser!

so firstly, open IE and go to my blog. next, go to the “tools” tab and select “internet options”.

once you clicked on it, it should open up a new window..like

go to the first tab “home page”. then, click on “use current”. your window should then look like..

do note that the url is the url of MY BLOG.

once you have confirmed that, click on apply

once you have applied, click “ok”

AND THEN..you are done!

note to readers: if you havent realised, MMYHP stands for make me your home page..

so thats it!

anyway, if you were thinking about where i got this fantastic idea from, i looked through online catalogues and learnt that people go to blogs for information/tutorials..and hence, the fantastic tutorial.

till the next FREE ONLINE tutorial!

i suppose commencement dinner would really go down as one of the most important dates for many of the people.had loads of cam-whoring, photo taking, taking photos, and what nots.

before i lose my train of thoughts i thought it would be good to pen everything down. hah. i suffer from short term memory lost.

so here’s a post to thank and note down the people i that made my high school life(or i thought so)..but owing to my poor memory..i may not have the full collection. so here goes!

so first up..the people i respect the most!

the person i suppose who gained the most of my respect is darren lum. i am impressed by what he does, the method and way he executes matters and the way he handles friendship..hmmph. one thing to note would be his i-shall-not-eat-fast-food idea. i think alot of people have such “ambitions”, but few can live up to it. and i am really impressed by this. man of his words..or maybe its because the blank cheques i sign bounces every other time. but still, this small action has proven alot and no doubt he is certainly one of the person i respect the most.

hmm..there were certain incidents that happened that i dont think i will ever forget.

the first is when we were sec one. i remember distinctively it was the first term. you were possibly one of the first few friends i made.and you even said you wanted to join mediatech! and yepp..you were quite good in flash and i had to use it for my project..so i harrassed you like a bitch. and finally you got pissed off…and then started ignoring me until the ice skating end of term activity! hmm…

the two other instances are from this year. the first would be your birthday. to tell you the truth(since i am a big fan of truths..) i forgot that it was your birthday that day! i always thought it was a few days later..until about 10 pm when someone told me..then i freaked out. then i bought the tidbits. then i got everyone. then we celebrated. hah. it was a hell of a good time for me! sooo exciting! but i guess it turned out quite well(at least better than my own birthday i think!)…so yepp.

the second can be summarised in one photo

yes. this could not have happened without you! without you..so many things could not have been pieced together. i always had qualms about working with people because i hate opposing opinions and arguments. but what you inject into the team is very much great ideas, enthusiasm and fun! and of course, following the birthday celebration, it was the wedding(where alex and you did practically everything!)…so..that was kindda fun for me too. but you had to fold so many many many white roses! hah! i guess soemtimes i am really to wild with my ideas..

i think you dont know you have had so much impact in my sec school life! but be sure. you definitely have left a huge impression in me. your fun loving, jovial, poke-ful, friendly, trustworthy personality has definitely made you alot of great friends. so heres to the person i respect the most…

“Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.”

Joan Didion (1934 - ), "Slouching Towards Bethlehem"

twenty thousand apologies flying

2009-12-01T20:48:00.001+08:00

after that post which established that i wanted 5000 hits, it was obvious certain people from the cyber world was angry with moi.

being a peace lover i have since decided that i shall make peace. simply by making nice photos of them

alot of people assume that nice photos are taken. actually, for a photo to be good, it has to be made. from the initial phase when we set everything up, to the photo shoot, to the choice of cameras, choice of lens, choice of settings and the final touch ups, all will matter. so now, i shall show two very very nicely edited photos!

they may not be the best. nut still..they look nicer than the original!

its pretty much like plastic surgery. except that no fats are sucked and no implants are given. just abit of lens flare, blur, spot light…

and yepp, here we have it, bright stars of tomorrow!

and also, i realised that i should not be doing a christmas post! since people will only read ON christmas. and they very well do know when santa is coming to town. so instead, christmas post shall be changed into one whole month of posts..

and note: IT IS IN A RANDOM ORDER. so..yep.hopefully the first post comes up by tonight!

visiting the HOWK

2009-12-01T20:20:00.001+08:00

my december days have started! and theya r as boring as ever…

so while i am trying to do up the christmas post! i decided to occupy myself with other things..like reading

Have a little faith by Mitch Albom

quite a nice book. not my favourite albom book though..lets wait and see.

updated the links and everything. shall try to link up as many people as possible! and yes. i shall go on this month long campaign to get more than 5000 hits before christmas! no. this isnt because howkwangming laughed at my hit count. i need to boost my ego against him..

and i am not going to do any cheat hits!(which means refreshing your blog page every other second to increase the hits)

and i decided that in order to actually attract readers i must have things for them. after i looked at dear ng peng’s successful mroe than 10000 cheat hits i shall follow what he did. he always post videos of oldies and all on his blog. i shall do the same!

TA-DA.

quite a meaningful song. although his blog is very much on vulgarities and emo rants. this is one nice song!

5000!

Downtown!

2009-11-26T00:29:00.001+08:00

the past few days were spent at downtown east with 4H3..had quite a good time bbq-ing and all.

have been trying to work on this long psot for a few days..shall call it the christmas post!

anyway, the my aunt is back from US..along with my BOOK! A NEW EARTH. wooohoo..i shall read it once i am done with mitch albom’s have a little faith.

i am very very free recently..and so i have been trying to read up and stuff. and heres one good article i found…

what this article generally talks about can be summarised by the very explicit title…

and true enough, if we step back and look around us, everyone’s story would seem to be very very sad…but never as sad as yours..and your happiness and success can never amount to that of others. their achievement seems to be god-sent, while ours are flawed and full of loopholes.

but then again, i suppose that has been my mindset too. i think we have to start appreciating the things and people around us and start to be thankful for all that we are given and not have so much grouses. i think everything happens for a reason and its a process that all of us would have to go through..so instead of sulking over matters, we should just put it in a good light, be proud of our achievements and learn from our failures! heh! this shall top my list for resolution 2010!

off to sleep now.

Restarting the engine!

2009-11-17T23:43:00.002+08:00

I think its really funny.

just when most of the sane population has abandoned blogging and moved on to twitting and facebooking, i have decided to blog again!

but this time round, i think it will be different. have been seeing the various notes posted by people for other people. really really touching and really, they are quite a true reflection of what alot of people are.

i nearly wanted to embark on a project like that, but however, realised that facebook is all too open and public for such a note. and so...blogging comes into the picture.

and i suppose the blogcount for this poor blog will stay stagnant for the next few weeks...so..perhaps its a private space for me to pen down my thoughts. lets see...

shall end here today and will come back the next time with a more insightful post!

lalala. jokes.

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! Soon, a farmer passed by and heard the little bird chirping. Seeing the poor creature covered with dung, he decided to help the bird get out of the mess and placed it under a shrub. By this time, the bird was feeling warm and chirpy. and A cat passing by heard the sounds, saw the bird and ate it up.

Morals of the story?
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) When you’re in deep shit, it might be better just to keep your mouth shut.

A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, “but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

The moral of the story?
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

The moral of the story?
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

this may be abit offensive…but well..its a joke.

A priest was driving along and saw a nun on the side of the road, he stopped and offered her a lift which she gladly accepted. She got in and Crossed her legs, forcing her gown to open and reveal a lovely leg. The priest had a look and nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun looked at him and immediately said, “Father, remember psalm 129?” The priest was flustered and apologized profusely. He forced himself to remove his hand. However, he was unable to remove his eyes from her leg. Further on, while changing gear, he let his hand slide up leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember psalm 129?” Once again the priest apologized. “Sorry sister, but the mind is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun got out, gave him a meaningful glance and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to retrieve a bible and looked up psalm129. It said, “Go forth and seek; further up, and you will find glory.”

The moral of the story?
Always be well informed in your job; Or you might miss a great opportunity.

2009-06-01T22:24:00.001+08:00

2009-03-29T17:01:00.001+08:00

haah. long time since i last posted.

i am over burdened with projects that are really taking their toll on me.

in any case, i shall try to balance all my commitments..haah.

sleeping at 11 everyday seems to be a good thing. in any case, i get my work done. so yeah!

yong xiang is back! together with bradley proctor. yay.. means lessons are going to be much more fun especially with people teleporting around the classes with me. six weeks passed unexpectedly fast.

have been talking more in lessons and trying to make myself more prominent. admidst consistant niaoing from coffin tan and at times, mrs teng, i think this is a relatively good move and hopefully can make all my OP grades equivalent to the HP(ih).

and i just found out, lit xian is making me do alot of things and the main reason is super saikang limdeezhen is going beijing and i am taking over as a super saikang.

with the establishment of the HP exhibition rescue team and the Humanities challenge…i hope things go well for the sec 3s lah. but there are some sec 3s who seem to have traits of lit xian. new video by tuesday. die

anyways, i have been infatuated with the windows calendar. my april calendar looks something like

this can tell you briefly how taxed i am. i really wonder why tansc actually said he is busier than me.

haah. now i am getting bored of friends for sale. like bored bored. such that i am daoing the game altogether and pissed that it is spamming my homepage.

till then

king..

2009-03-02T18:25:00.001+08:00

hmmm..

long time since i last posted.

tests overwhelms the short 2-3 weeks. deadly.

anyways, now that tests are over..i have to see to the different projects…die.again.

hrp

nwsp

bsrp

cat 2 project

cat 1 project

thinkquest

many more misc.

hmm..sometimes i wonder why people do not reciprocate, or even appreciate. putting in so much effort and time seems useless when such situations occur…

anyways, had a temperament test a couple of days ago…

alot of people predicted that i will be sanguine-choleric or choleric sanguine…(choleric meaning leading/bossy and sanguine meaning popular)

but strangely enough, i am choleric…

i think i changed alot throughout the few months. my temper is better, and i try my best to relate to others and try to be receptive….

but of course, i am still quite introverted lah….since i dont tell alot of personal things to others…

now i have to go and settle projects stuff….

till then

the exciting moment shall come…and shall last.

wooohoo

Coz e71 is the love

2009-02-07T23:42:00.001+08:00

anyways, really looking forward to all teh tests. I WANNA END THIS TORTURE.

may all score distinctions.

la.

tralala

2009-01-29T20:20:00.001+08:00

i am blogging now because i want to resuscitate this blog. pretty much dead.

anyway, i was blog hopping during one of the lessons(perhaps this is something good about having laptops around you 24/7…can multitask!) when i saw fang’s blog…i was super impressed and of course i was laughing over the things he posted.

maybe i should start advertising blogs again. but then again..maybe not. too busy

i am not supposed to be posting now..i have tons of unfinihed work..and i need to contatc alot of organisations! rahhhh

since everyone blogs about cny, my cny was spent on doing homework!

aint that nice! schooolllll woohooo.

back to work now

2009-01-11T01:40:00.001+08:00

havent blogged for a week!

anyway…hmm…slacked for oen whole day!i think it is gordon.affect me.

hmm the week was exhausting..and work flows in like air.

friday was ep3 orientation..where i lied to sec 1s and made them join! i have 108 applicants. partial thanks to kho yong xiang.

actually.if i am a sec 1 and yong xiang is teh one giving the talk.i wont join. he seem so paedophilic

okay.enough about that.

went to watch red cliff with parents.damn nice.2.5 hours!

must get to work now.

2009-01-03T00:00:00.001+08:00

gosh.firstly, i need to apologise to

hci mediaresource dept.

proed

I LOST THE FREAKING SD CARD WITH ALL THE PHOTOS.

hell….meaning i have to retake the photos on monday…i am really hoping that someone kind will find the card and return it…although there is no news of it at the bus termini now….

gosh..one whole day of hard work and poooooofff…gone like that.kill me.

i am super unhapy with myself and there are still tons of work that await me…..i dont know….realy confused….

really tired toooo…i guess i have to apologise to gordon who wil most probably take my place for monday’s OG activites…sorry!

so now….one whole day of hard work gone….hows the feeling?

2008-12-31T00:00:00.001+08:00

hmmm….okay..shall update.

went back to school on monday and did more saikanging. anyway, i self-approved the HP video.although it is supposed to be top secret until the 2nd day of 2009, i shall post the link here.

i am so darn scared that i will get sued.but anyway, it s for education and recreational purposes.no harm done.

*edit*due to policy reasons, my slave driver refuse to let others know of the link prior to 2nd january.but….its on youtube.happy finding.

anyway, if you watch the last part of the video…it took e ALOT of time to edit okay!

actually i didnt want the ending to be like that..but when i put it in and SLim saw it..he said t will be good t have stars award that kindda style. and since we were looking for quality, i think oscar fits him best.

so today.pretty much slacked.went to find ck at bishan in the morning and popped by orchard …

saw two books in kinokuniya that i LOVE. anyway..i sw another book “HOW BUFFET DOES IT” that was selling for S$33++. i bought it for RMB10.wowow.

anyway, was deliberating whether to dine at new york new york or din tai fung when i decided that i shall starve myself after guiltily spending a good 17.10 on my sony earphones. i wanted to find in-ear earphones…but they cost sooo damn expensive…initially i saw one sanheisser in-ear siliconned earphone which is selling for 120+++ at gramophone. realllly loved it.but too bad it is too expensive.

came back and sort of blog hopped. why is everyone doing reflections?esp. this particular guy. i think i should give him a name. ..hmmm forget about it.

anyway..reflections is good but i still think we should let time heal the wounds in the past rather than keep on thinking about the past and projecting in to be your near future.somethings are over.

and maybe ms cheong is correct.

shall give him my support..although i am not in total agreement of what he is doing.

ok..shall follow what jiarong did and list the top events of 2008.(in no order of merit..and they may not be goood…they are memorable.may not be good.)

1) Beijing Trip-really remembered te whoel trip there..was fun..enjoyable and at tiem irritating.

2)SHANGHAI trip-another fun-filled trip with almost teh same people.

No Mountains too high, for you to climb
All you have to do is have some
climbing faith, oh yeah
No rivers too wide, for you to make it across
All you have to do is believe it when you pray
And then you will see, the morning will come
And everyday will be bright as the sun
All of your fears cast them on me
I just want you to see...
I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel
I saw the teardrops, and I heard you cry
All you need is time, seek me and you shall find
You have everything and you're still lonely
It doesn't have to be this way, let
me show you a better day
And then you will see, the morning will come
And all of your days will be bright as the sun
So all of your fears, just cast them on me
How can I make you see...
I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel
And when it's time to face the storm
I'll be right by your side
Grace will keep us safe and warm
And I know we will survive
And when it seems as if your end is drawing near
Don't you dare give up the fight
Just put your trust beyond the sky...
I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel
I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel

The tender times we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all, one thing will always be true
The special times are the times I share with you
With each moment, moment passing by
We'll make memories that will last all our lives
As you and I travel through time together
Living this sweet dream
And every day we can say
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all, one thing will always be true
The special times are the times I share with you
These tender moments
When heaven is so close
These are the moments that I know
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all, one thing will always be true
The special times are the times I share
Are the times we share, are the times I share... with you
Special times I share with you

so tuesday went out at around 12…intended to meet cheong keat and weize at 2…but only got to knwo the meeting was cancelled..so i went to walk around and went to starbucks to read boring frankenstein.

then..met cheong keta and guoxin at 5 for vienna!!

buffet at vienna was great…except that they donot have a wide selection.but quality wise they served the best stuff.pop by if you are free.do remember to reserve.

yesterday i went back to school(again)…to meet the mediatech people and all i can conclude that my morale about teaching photography is as low as ever.yay.great.

so we discussed about the next batch of excos….and actually most of them qualify.i shall explain why

1)why cant any junior be in the exco when sze chuen can?attitude is not a problem.

2)why cant any junior be in the exco when zisong cna be the photo head(wow!yes.i dont know photography!!!!yay!!!hooray!!!and the best thing is…..i am in charge of photography!!CHEERS!)so….expertise is not a problem

when you disqualify expertise and attitude as judging factors….you have everybody in the list.wow.great job!

anyway..the list does not contain everyone lah…obviously…so the current excos will have to start picking..anyway..i think yongxiang wont trust by jugdement because i seriously show favouritism.

so today i went to zhou zhuang-the firt goumet chinese buffet in singapore…went to the jurong point branch.

food there was great…comparable to many other international buffet.

there was this table that they showcased one whole row of extra virgin olive oil.i wonder what they want to convey..that they use premium oil to cook..or that the food they serve is oily?

food was nice but a bit too oily though…

so ended my day…

anyway, the new extension in jurong is very big…and there is even a harris there….and then there is thai express, new york new york and din tai fund there…

great place to shop in a suburban area…

the end!

yes..to stop this blog from dying without any post and stopping the already seemingly small human traffick, i shall post on the past few weeks in China.three weeks to be exact.

20/10/08,monday

we arrived at shanghai pudong airport after a near 5 hour SQ flight from singapore.pudong airport is quite nice...

shortly after that, we were ferried by bus to suzhou international school.there, we had a grand welcome.really grand

so they actually had this huge banner placed up to welcome us..pretty nice.

then we had a welcome speech, done together with sme of the girl from UK.

yes.UK girls who bohan flirted with over the next two weeks.irritating.disusting.

whatever you name.eww.

then...we went to our dormitories.....very very exciting!!!!!shall post the pictures here for thos ein beijing.ha.

yes..it was beuatiful..equipped with toilet bowls, nice comfy beds...but there was no internet.nevertheless...i was hapy enough..easily contented...haha.anyway, my room won the cleanest room again.yay...so now liang lao shi owes my room a treat.full marks for room cleanliness leh!

21/10/08,tuesday

went to see some kunqu opera thingy.quite ermmmm interesting?you can say....

we watched the play <xi you ji>the chapter is the one where sun wu kong borrowed the ba jiao shan fro tie shan gong zhu.

then, we went to th esilk factory to see the production of silk...didnt buy any silk there..it cost aout 161736384484 dollars. in other words, expensive.

following that, we went to hu qiu(tiger hill)

it is named tiger hill because....i forgot.

22/10/08,wednesday

we had pottery lessons today..so we went and shaped the different artistic woks with our fine and delicate hands...

following that we had embroidery lessons, which required the use of our delicate hands again.

then, we went to taihu. tai hu is one of ht emost majestic lakes in china and is bigger than 5 singapores put together. we went to this small part in taihu

we also went to ne of the smal islands in taihu.well..t may not be that small...so we went to the xi shan diao lou, where there were alot of very nice carvings. the owner of this villa was probably one of the magistrate or merchants in taihu region. but some of the carvings were destroyed during the da ge ming..but whats left is still very majestic.

can you see the pine tree there?

this is an excape route that is placed behind a cupboard..clever huh.

23/10/08, thursday

today, we went to the nong min gong. this was a school for the mgrant kids from the other parts of china. their parents are labourers, so they had to make do with simple schools.

24/10/08,friday

today we had calligraphy lessons

we also went to the tongli.

tongli is an ancient town that is reserved until today and is used mainly for tourism.

then we went for our homestay!very very nevous..considering that i never really liked stayovers.and now, i am supposed to go for a ome stay with someone i barely knew for two hours.im conservative. my buddy is really rich.as in really really rich that kind of rich. he as two houses. one at taihu, another in the city. the one at taihu is one that you cna ish at the backyard..woahwoah...

25/10/08

he orning was spent going around the neighboruhood..and in the afternoon, i was reated to da zha xie(big gate crab).it was simply put, delicious.

we went to tian ping san in the evening. the supposed hill was highe rthan bukit timah hill...anyay te view up three was spectacular.

at night, we went to the cineplex in zushou..one of th ebest around town. there, i was treated to a movie.we watched "wanted"..quite lag huh.

26/11/08

went to wuzhen.another very old town. it is located in hangzhou.so we practically crossed the state to gte over to see this puny little old town which was rather ...

27/11/08, monday

in the morning, we went to SIP. the service there was poor. thats why they lost so much money. cant really blame them.pathetic.

then, we went on this bus ride around the IP.

we also went to a school named xing hai school. the school is very very very very very rich.

SLim can go there and teach history.

At night, we went to shantang jie, another old street.

this is a kid of sweet thing that..is quite nice..a tad too sweet though.

28/10/08, tuesday

TODAY IS THE RELEASE DATE FOR CELINE DION'S NEW ALBUM.

CELINE DION-LOVE ULTIMATE ESSENTIAL COLLECTION.

today, we went to this place which had loads of embroidery and ya.so the most fascinatin one is obviously the shuang mai xiu, where you have an embriodery but different pictures on the two sides.

PINE EMBRIODERY.wooohooo.people like us!

my friend, Lisa.she says she is very famous and people like to put her on their walls. i dont know why.but people also like me on their walls(see photo above)

shnghai.

we also visted the yamaha factory in SuZhou.there, we had a talk and introduction of the manufacturing procedures and operations in China.quite cool.pretty much of a bore at the same time.

29/10/08,wednesday

remember the teacher who taught calligraphy(above)...he also teaches weiqi.

then, we had taiji.

remember the teacher who taught calligraphy and weiqi?he also teaches taiji.

he has a hypnosis power that forces everyone to follow him.

30/10/08, thursday

In the morning, we visited this plant which made paper.they waste paper.really.

after that, we went back to school for handicraft lesson.

remember the teacher who teaches calligraphy, weiqi, taiji? he does not teach handicraft.

then, we had a super fantastic basketball match . maybe not. but that was the first match i ever really seen...

the score initially was 0:9.

then, it increased to

then it finally went up to 40:30++

we won..yay.

following that we had the farewell party...

it started off with a godly speech.then we had some performances...

31/10/08,friday

we went to liu yuan...but before that, i saw this

we went liu yuan

then we went to guan qian jie for some shopping...

01/11/08,saturday

we went tian ping shan again.

a very artistic shot of me.please interpret the photo by yourself.

~end of suzhou trip~

02/11/08,sunday

following our great adventures in suzhou, or otherwise known as gu su, the 21 of us set off for our next destination-SHANGHAI.

03/11/08,monday

~~the day started off with a bang.~~we had lessons with the students in shanghai yan an zhong xue. chinese.i really doubt my standards.

then,we had a talk on shanghai history

04/11/08,tuesday

another bang started day.

in the afternoon, we had lessons on shi ti she ji, or rather, 3D virtual modeling. not very entertaining. and the program is not the state-of-the-art standard. but nevertheless, most of us had fun.

05/11/08,wednesday

we did taiji in the morning. at least this teacher is far better than the one in beijing. this was fun, entertaining and infuses alot of fun activites in his lessons that can teach us about wushu and taiji.

gold star teacher.

then, we went to shanghai city gui hua guan.

we went by mrt, which is supposedly the best transportation method in shanghai amidst all the traffic congestions and all.

the gui hua guan showed us how shanghai was designed and teh different areas in the shanghai state.

then we popped over to the all famous shanghai museum

the museum is a must-come spot in shanghai.it puts together thousands of artifacts tht would appeal to your five senses.

06/11/08,thursday

today is my sis's birthday.happy birthday.

~~it isnt bolded like celine dion's album release~~

we had ban hua lessons.

next on the list was wushu(again)...so half way through, the teacher decided to let us off because we were good and diligent students who could easily comprehend the steps in taiji.

sean and yu ping then had a match with the teachers...

well..if you want to know who won, look at their age.

07/11/08,friday

today, i wnet for homestay with my shanghai buddy. he's mother runs a shop which sells wooden carvings. VERY NICE!

08/11/08,saturday

my buddy, together with some others went to the shanghai science msueum. it is extremely big and extremely CHEAP. furthermore, it is very interactive and has in place many activites that captivated all of us

MY SUPER POWER.MUAHAHA

09/11/08,sunday

my buddy and those from the same group as yesterday went for a movie

007 Quantum of Solace.

here is a very nice song...

for 100 days to the start of beijing olympics.

next, look at the LIVE version!live versions are always nicer!...

but....when you have 100 singers..on a single stage, with 2 mics, some superstars hidden around the crowd..it turns out funny!

2008-11-27T23:38:00.002+08:00

i shal answer to mark's call and post a message with substance.(i think he is too free now that see2 is over.very free huh??slacker.)

so now..i went to linshan da fuo today.basically, my camery's batery went flat like santana and hence..no photos.boohoohoo.

anyway, it is quite beautiful and definitely worth a visit.

i also bought my own zisha bottle today!yay!

then, went to sanguocheng, where they shot romance of the three jkingdoms.

dont go there unless you ahve no where else to go. not particularly spectacular..except for me being there.

i shall promise that i will blog everyday.

so yesterday, i went for NSM's spot and shoot..so we basically went around singapore and take photos of the places we found. for more information, A LOT MORE, go

little-different-feelings.blogspot.com

since i am talking about this blog, the author chooses a very serious tone in addressing the issues. the only nice thing i find about his blog is the beautiful photos that he posts onto the blog. other than that, the long stories and articles are quite good for all those who bothers to read. he is very longwinded, and hence explaining the post that takes 155789639363 seconds to load. average blog for average readers.

after that, i went for jiarong's bdae treat. so we went jack's place, where i saw SIM YAN YING. ok..i didnt actually see her, is saw yangzhi. nevermind. shant talk about her. sinc eshes not much of a nice topic to talk about. she was dining like a tart tart. which was more tart.

anyway. the dinner was great...and i learnt about how beatrice was flamed.

now onto beatrice's blog.

as compared to yongxiangs blog, this blog adopts a more interesting tone that expresses Beatrice's concerns of her life. furthermore, reading this blog is quite entertaining as compared to yongxiang's blog which has this horribly irritating background music(but better than alvin's blog, which BLASTS the music). try celine dion. back to beatrice's blog..recommended read.

so...thats the end i will be off in 15 hours time...shanghai!!!

its been a long time since i last updated. many things to say before i go to shanghai again....

anyway, some evil teachers, i wont tell you that he is my chemistry teacher, still REFUSES to give me that HALF A MARK.

and for HRP. my mark was 74.3. 0.2 marks away from High D!!!!

the past week has been rather fulfilling...(or wait, is it two weeks? i lost count.)

so basically...i went to BreadTalk to...Talk with their CEO. we talked about bread, and mainly their bread, and also their famous bread. ok you get it.

BreadTalk is one corporation that really amazes me by the way the whole corporation is ran. very fantastic...so during the talk we were given an introduction of the whole corporation followed by a Q and A which included the CEO of BreadTalk fighting with me. yes, fighting. yes.CEO. not over bread, but just that he was showing how to win.

so...i lost the fight. how do you expect me to retaliate this 60 odd year old man? and he CEO. i am but a little self named king.

the week just went on...and the next interesting activity was my 4 hour visit to the dentist. imagine having to OPEN YOUR MOUTH and have thousads of tubes, needles and whatnots sticking out and in it. for four HOURS. but the dentist is quite kind...but she is very odd. she place the whole chair at such a strange angle (where the head is lower than the leg) such that it is simply too comfortable to sleep. coupled with the nice air con and cool shades i slept. while keeping my mouth open. so cool.

then it was ProEd nite, which ended in me rummaging through garbage. the 10 dollars was not worth it. i am extremely disgusted once again(although i sortta expected it). shall post more about it next time

and yes. CHINA in THREE DAYS. yay..woooohoooo
