Retro
WOOAAHH I was watching Freaky Friday again.. (yeah, you guessed it; for Lindsay Lohan lol) and the finale song was sung by this band named Forty Foot Echo. So went to do some searching and checked em out. Their pretty cool, like a good mix of 3 Doors Down and Coldplay. Yeah so I was pretty much sending their song to everyone haha. Song's called Brand New Day.
Mann I wanna get Creed's Greatest Hits and Coldplay's Parachutes.. but yeah, I'm broke. Was so freaking shock when I went to withdraw cash. like about a good $30 spending cash left lol.. wtf did the rest go? Haha. So yeah, obviously I'm desperate for a job. Man.. so hard up to find one. Those peeps at printedge still hasn't called. Maaaannn I don't think I got it.
Mum cancelled tuition cause Raymond couldn't work it anymore.. he was juggling tuition with his own work. Yeah! Awesome! No Math tuition.. but that's temporary before she shoves me somewhere else.
That Brand New Day has real good lyrics. It's darn meaningful... guess it implies to everyone in some way or another. Yeap, so here's the faaaaantastic song from this dudes.
Forty Foot Echo - Brand New Day
Never thought I'd say I'm sorry
Never thought I'd be the one to bring you down
Now when I look out my window
But there doesn't seem to be anyone around
And I, I think I'll change my ways
So all your words get noticed
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Tomorrow's a new day
We said we'd take little time
For both of us to see
ANd wonder what it'd be like to carry on
Ya, I know I got crazy
Well I guess that's just me
If I could turn back time before
The wrong
And I, I think I'll change my ways
So all your words get noticed
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Tomorrow's a new day
Ya, And I, I think I'll change my ways
So all your words get noticed
I think I'll change my ways
I think I'll change my ways
Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh
I think I'll change my ways
Never thought I'd say I'm sorry
Never thought I'd be the one
To bring you down
*Boo*
Played basketball for the first time today.. man.. its a tiring sport. Like had to dribble like mad and shun opponents... played barefooted in school cause my frigging slippers would just make me slip. SH slipped on a water puddle and his left side of his short got completely wet haha, yeah I almost slipped too. 3-pointers are hard... shooting in is hard.. then their loads of rules I seem to break cause dunno how to play lol.
After swimming SH and I went to TP. He and I wanted to see some secondhand handphones. Wah all soo expensive, but it was real cool.. like comparing prices. He's still indecisive about buying one.. yeah. But I got this rubber hp cover for like just 3 bucks ..wtf! Man I was damn happy cause those rubber covers usually cause a good $8 and above. And I think the shopkeeper was abit gong to sell for 3 smackers so it was a damn good bargain haha. I love it, it's damn comfortable to touch and makes my screen look clearer. Yeah, I guess I didn't wanna get a new phone cause I love the simplicity of 3100 haha.
Graduating 2004
Woah! Sec 4 Graduation dinner is finally over... so stylish all of the sec 4s. Gabs was wearing tux! Mannn he looks weird in it haha. Well I finished all three rolls of film Elaine gave me.. she wanted me to use them wisely but I just snapped away lah haha. Raffles Town Club was so grand. Elaine gave us wrong info and called it Raffles Town hall.... man we missed so many taxis cause they didn't know what was Raffles Town HALL. Damn.
The SAS management called on Mr. NUS (the guy who was voted most popular for NUS on TV) and he looked damn stuck up. He and with some other peeps, were like judges for the Saints Man Hunt. Wah.. that was a pretty lame idea... a group of sec 4s chosen as contestants had to do catwalks and those shit. Matthew John won in the end.. (LOL). that was unexpected ahah. There was this dude in charge of managing the dinner asked if I wanted to go up there next year. LOL like I have a chance, people like Jimmy, Isaac, Ryan, JH would get to go up lah.. not me haha. He said I don't look that bad la.. lol.. man he needs some specs LOL.
Put the voting, I just voted for Siong Chin. That poor dude.. he got like 5 votes nia haha, poor thing man. And he's like the only sec 4 I knew well that was a contestant. Hanif voted for Jason from 4SA.. Ahh he looked abit too stuck up too, wonder what's up with him. He cat-walked like some supermodel lol, mann I heard that guy topped English, he gave good answers haha. Matthew John's answers was damn siong.. he was like spiting Mr Desmond Soh.
"A minister encourages that one should find a partner before he graduates to mantain a stable relationship when he graduates. Do you agree?"
"Well, I definitely agree with this because you see some people like Mr. Desmond Soh, didn't find a partner when he was in University and now he's still single lah. But you can still find loads of good girls once you graduate, cause women are emphasizing more on their careers these days, so Desmond Soh still got chance lah,"
Hahaha, Mr Soh's face was so constipated it was damn funny lol.
Then Dominic, the one who skanked himself on-stage last year came up to sing. He sang Dancing Queen (wahahaha damn funny sia) and he was doing these weird actions. Then some dude came up with a small pot of flowers and gave it to him just to spite him haha. Hilarious.. so he was a freaking comedy. I heard from Hanif that he was given a year off school cause he was suicidal. Yeah, I guess your life is much more important than studying. So woah, he had a year off! But I guess it was for a good cause.. I thought he quit school or something haha.
One year from last night, would be our turn for a graduation dinner (FREEDOM!) and we're having it with St. Margaret's from what I've heard so woohoo! That's great haha. So we gotta feel of how it's like after the Os. Seem great, can't wait for it :].
Wine Glasses Don't Fit.
Went with Shan Hui and Hanif to Eunos today for 'The Incredibles' showcase promoter job interview. I tried calling Darrell about it, but couldn't get hold of him.. he's probably out of town, yeah. It was at Ubi Ave 1.. pretty easy to get there, and we made loads of noise on the way.. the complex was damn spooky. Sorta like Max payne 2.. and we just got in and we saw this guy and told him we wanted to work here. He got us into the conference room and yeah.
So we had to fill out this form (names, age, experience, reasons to hire you .. etc.) so we kinda had to sell ourselves on the paper.. but without any experience. This lady got us out from that conference room and wanted us one by one to promote a poster to her male colleague. It was pretty tough.. SH went first, then me and then Hanif. So she asked for our commitment period and she'd call us if we got in. Yeah, it was pretty exhilarating.. I mean I'm a first-timer so yeah.. good to know we might be employed. Then maybe you might see us at around PS, Raffles, or Junction 8 haha.
The art guys met Nickson Fong last evening. That dude who made so many animated movies, and got a big name for himself on The Matrix Reloaded. Everyone at his company agreed the storyline for that flick sucked. Haha.. woops, would I get into trouble for this? haha. He spoke totally like an American, and yeap, he was abit too monotonous. I was expecting more maybe? Cause he looked reeal sociable on newspaper.. but yeah, the stuff he does is waayyy cool. Like they did the new Navy commercial (and we were the lucky from the public who first saw it waha) and they had to manipulate the retarded ship into a robot (wth.. haha) but it was cool. And yeah, so you guys gotta catch it.. taught us how they did everything for that ad. And even showed us the new navy poster (coming soon.. of course haha).
So after we've met him we had to go back. And we went to PS to eat.. I saw RELIENT K at Trumpet Praise. WOAH! It was amazing cause I didn't think they would import them cause only about a good ten peeps like 'em here in sg. But they didn'thave mmhmm (yeah.. damn damn damn haha..) so maybe I'll get the other albums.. yeap.
Darrrrn.
Woohoo, watched Mona Lisa's Smile finally on DVD, it's a pretty good movie.. gives the nostalgic feel a good emo-flick should have. Also went through abit of Dreamcatcher, the movie... it was so sick I just gave up watching it halfway. Some alienated huge hotdogs driving their way out of infected peeps' assholes.. and they have hundreds of teeth... bah, no more talking about it.. it's gross shit.
Realised Something Corporate was a pretty good band.. but their lead singer looks hell of a nerd. Wellll.. their all highschool friends so, there's to the garage band scene and friendship.. wth.. the song Punk Rock Princess is a new catch from them..it's kinda an old song of theirs but I'M SLOW! haha, they rock. Wonder if there are anymore punk rock princesses in sg? >:] hmm hmm.
Tomorrow's choir (again.. shit sia.) and then the Art project with that famous dude who aided in the CG of Matrix Reloaded. He's kinda a big shot in town.. and I guess he's abit off his heels about his success lah.. he just helped. Man, there were so many peeps in charge of CG for Matrix. Annnnd also going for the Sec 4 graduation dinner cause Elaine Low wanted Hanif and I to take photos of them.. yeah, on Friday night. Have to go there, freeload some food, and take pictures of those dudes. But hey, it's an easy job, if only the sec 4s go easy on us.. hehe, age gaps la...
And here's a tribute to the band Nine Days, if I'm not wrong they only had one hit on radio years ago.. named "Story Of A Girl". Yeah, came upon that song yesterday and was wondering how the hell are they doing now.. seems like their no longer in the music scene. So I guess they're loving the ordinary life now haha... so here's to da duuudes of the band Nine Days.. cause they deserve some after-death glory haha.
There was no tuition today (YEAH!).. it's damn assed up. So I'm so glad that Raymond had some meeting and he couldn't make it. But now Lindy, his girlfriend's gonna take over.. and she's a hard one.. I mean she's strict la(nth else).
So was rotting at home, trying to figure out the username and password for our school's website so I could download my holiday homework. And was racking my brain like crazy, trying to find out wtf is the password. The username was the IC no. so fair enough. Asked Teddy then realised the password was actually ALSO the IC no. I was so pissed with the system, I thought I changed my password and was trying out all my default password.. so anxious to get my homework.. but in the end I was too lethargic to start on anything haha.
So surfed around for a kickass blog design... cause mine looks abit to sick. Couldn't find any good ones, or found real punk ones but were either too small or wasn't suitable for blogspot. And even if it did, meant I had to create right colummns, adjust the fonts, colours and those stuff. Reeeaaalll irritated la. So I guess I'm gonna heck it.
Welp, got hold of a good image-hosting site so I think I'm gonna pic most of my entries or else the pages would look so dead boring. Found this somewhere.. definitely anywhere near a punkband site. But this is SKA! The genre of music that I'm totally clueless of; gm said maybe it was music that was played for skater shows. Whatever it is, it sounds real cool.. so here's to ska.
Fat Masses and Horse-Faces
Oh yea, forgot to say my bro has this huge eagle kite from Bali, my dad gave him, it's darn cool, I heard the expanse of the wings can reach a good one metre.. woah, BIG kite. Hand-made too sia... must be damn ex and awesome.
SH and I tried some crappy stat-machine at Hougang Mall today after swimming. (It measures fat mass, and since we're training and I had an extra coin...) It was damn funny, the shopkeeper had to make his way out measure my height. And I was a 166.. lol, shorter than I expected lol. The machine coughed out a receipt:
----------
Body Fats Test
Sex: Male
Age: 15 Y
Height: 166 cm
Weight: 64 kg
Your Fats Percent Of Your Weight Is:
24.8% = 15.9 kg
Your Ideal Fats percent Of Your Weight Should Be:
10 - 19% = 6.4 - 12.1 kg
Your Fats Percent Is More Than Ideal Percent By:
3.8 kg
Your Figure Is:
Slight Fat
------------
It was damn hilarious lah, read the paper and laughed like hell.. you had to hold this two metal bars so I must've looked darn stupid man... SH asked me if I taking the paper seriously, wahahaha like I do, it's just a stupid freaking machine and I don't mind being "Slight Fat".. whatever that means haha.
We saw Jacelyn Tay's poster at Jean Yip and SH said she had a horse-face LOL. We were like there acting stupid lah.. we were mimicking the Jean Yip commercial on TV, and everytime she was supposed to speak on the commercial we did "neighhhh! neighh!!".. LOL damn retarded... Oh yea, saw ex-choir senior AngKuKueh at the Hougang NTUC as the cashier.. he looked like an Ah Soh dude... haha.
Big Moma
Met Hanif and Darrell yesterday to go PS and watch The Incredibles.. saw some sec 4 ruggers and Darrell said they were pointing at us and all that... aiya heck la.. they can screw whatever they want. We were halfway through the commercials in the cinema (with out cheapskate twisties and two large coke bottles.. haha) when the frigging starhub mobile plans shit came up.. then Darrell was like saying how ugly the green-clad girl was and all that la.
The movie is dammmn nice...wth, the coolest was Violet the punkass daughter haha... she was awesome.. the mother also damn funny lah.. I mean the way she could stretch her body and all that... but the three of us agreed on one thing. EDNA MODE (the superhero costume designer) looked HELL like Elaine Low. We were laughing our ass off cause she was acting so much like her haha. Hanif msged me later that Edna was voiced by a guy! Waha.. made things worse.. lol. And Hanif and I agreed too that that Syndrome guy.. the main evil bastard, had the very Aaron look... haha no offense but he had the proportions of Aaron.
When the movie ended went down to the gorund floor where they had an The Incredibles showcase, the gal there asked us if we could work part-time and we could choose where ta work; Bishan, Expo, Raffles City, or PS. Anyway I'm still indecisive lah.. cause I need to have my swim before anything else... and frigging choir schedules.. heck.
Darrell spotted Denise Keller with an Indian boyf, and he was going nuts.. we saw her again at the basement pet-shop and he went to talk to her sia. Then of course she gave the usual "Hi! What's your name? Darrell? Nice to meet you!".. Darrell is so passionate about his idols man lol... but he said she didn't have flawless skin and had some dark patches lol... oooookay, fine.. haha. I can't believe he went up and asked man..
Shin is NO Chinese Punk.
Man got back from swimming, just a few hours od slow freestyle and I'm dead beat. SH and I went to Kovan, I bought the S.H.E new album and he some cantonese singer. Actually my style of music didn't change lah hell, I have my old favourites (pop, ballads) and I'm just adding a few more genres (rock, punk, acoustic) stuff like that. So I still love S.H.E's music.. but of course there's nothing better than a good punk song from a good band.
I bought the album cause I already spent so much on buying three of their albums liao... sad if I stop now. Haha.. must get in touch with chinese girlbands too cause their they rock too... but not as much haha. So I guess this week is given to listening to their new album Encore... (yeah, same name as Eminem's new album... kinda queer haha). They have a song that's exactly like Britney's Everytime.. waha, some chinese singers are still copy-buggers lol.
So gm don't blame me lah.. I think I'm going to scourge for Relient K's mmhmm in a few weeks time. Then heck albums, gonna stock up on sportgear... bah, money again. Damn.
So, I read Hanif's blog.
Well I can tell peeps one thing is don't worry, I ain't much different in real life, but I'm trying ta change loads real life too cause being with the same friends so you're kinda mawkishly the same around them. But hell, the low vocals, retrosexual fashion, and heck-how-I-look attitude is getting abit into my veins...
Hanif, it's okay, don't have to be jealous, you're great as who you are, so, I might've changed, but sometimes I do wonder what and who I've changed into. At least you're still clear as yourself. And I didn't 'advance' personality-wise, I just changed into something else. So, we're still da same and you still rock, maybe you should see me after I've changed my specs.. that's like until CNY LOL.. kinda far away, but whatever it is, heck you're more important to yourself than me. And thanks, change is always good, but it's the end-product or something ya? Man.. sorry, my analytical skills has deteriorated since I've listened to rock (LOL, no offense to anyone man.. rock is cool.. actually the best song I like in the S.H.E album is the only rock song ahaha).
Welp, I'm still me la, I still write tonnes of crap on blogs, I still look the same, but hell.. we're in the most blossoming years of our youth so we should be WILD while you can so just be who you wanna be! All of ya!(wtf did I just say? shit lol... guess I meant it haha.)
Yeah, I'm raising my brows at Erwyn.. but he's treating you good, and I trust your judgement on him lah. But to me, the stubborn bastard that I am (lol), I guess he's still that childish freak to me three years back. All I know is he needs someone to handle his double-personality. I hope he manages it, you know what I mean, he's like two different peeps and maybe he might not know when to be which.. whatever lah..
SO, actually in a nutshell, Erwyn is good/goof anything. Just be happy yeah? See, man another long entry, doing psycho babble again. Ahh I just love typing haha.
The Dreams Of Blondes And Picket Fences.
Went to pick the choir peeps up but hell they were out already! We were like 15 minutes late.. and only got to saw Miss Lee and Miss Gan... yeah man it was abit of a screwed trip to the airport. After much indecision we just hecked and ate at Mcs there. SH and I went swimming after we left Jie Rong with the 107 bus in Hougang... he had this basketball match and we walked to the swimming complex there.
There's loads of scandals at Hougang swimming complex.. loads.. we saw this Danny-lookalike.. he was total... queer. Kay, won't go into details cause it was just real hilarious when we were there. He was wearing some red thongs and orange slippers and he had some prada handbag... yeah, I know.. sick. It's hilarious cause SH was like shouting "prada, prada" at him and then covering his face with his bag whenever he looked over. Haha. Welp, there's others but hell, the point is it's sick. Darrell told me the men's changing room janitor was gay and he would sit by the bench and stare at everyone changing.. biiiiggg turn-off.
So my goggles snapped.. it's actually a pretty old one so I guess it was much more brittle and stuff. And it was in purple.. thank god it's gone. I had to wear that since my previous goggles (black ones) went missing one time at the Kallang basin. So now have to use my Dad's one.. (a Phoenix black), it's double anti-fog and all.. real good but I prefer to get those white ones Sportslink was selling that was welp, manufactured by the brand Arena.
Arena rocks, the swimming trunks are awesome.. but mine got some ugly bruises cause of the frigging lazy pool surface back in Kallang basin..it's damn rough. It made loads of abrasion with the trunks.. even SH go that problem. Well, what to do.. can't get a new pair anytime soon.. I think I'll get those arena goggles on my own if I have to, haha.
There was this old dude beside us while we were swimming, he corrected some of our swimming techniques and how we should undertake our palm movement in water ("canoe-shaped palms!" He was bellowing) and SH corrected by hands movemoent for freestyle.. so I had to skid my palms on the water before creating force by pushing underwater and stuff. Hell, I feel much faster now, but that's a small step to training up..
Haha, sorry bout my stupid swimming talks I'm just hell into it these days. But swimming is real fun, burns 500 calories an hour and improves physical reflexes and mobility so peeps should try it. Haha, well.. it's true.. you have loads of disadvantages too but hell it's good for you.
Anyway.. I was like preaching how bad Vanessa Carlton's White Houses were, but its pretty darn good. I'm not very analytical so here's a link to the lyrics and analysis of the song. Just read it and you'll understand why I love her! Other than for da White Chicks cameo-track she had haha.
Vanessa's White Houses.
Most of her songs are about her life. Just like Michelle Branch.. man their both hot stars with great vocals and good acoustic feels. K k I'll stop yakking about great brunnette composer-singers haha so just listen to it!
She Knows It
Well, it took me a couple of hours to add some stuff and edit this place. I didn't change much then was because no one came here anyway, so I'd rather keep it simple. But some people have been bugging.. so yeah, fine. The tagger, the playlist, the friendlist, heck, there they are now.
I have a whole huge Relient K playlist and I'm only going through some t'day. 'Those Words Are Not Enough' is damned meaningful... it's a religious song..mmhmm. Anyway their pretty good with the metallic rock feel... electric guitars and all that. Haven't been out alot but any peep ready ta go shopping please buzz me cause I'm gonna scamper for Relient K's album.. it's really hard to find locally.. I don't think they have any imports. Hopefully not - Relient K's awwwesome. I'm not being bias lah.. cause Lola Ray is also frigging good.. yeap, haha.
Heeyyy I'm so glad I'm beginning to go easy on low vocalling, started that last night when BC called and we chatted. So, yeap, hopefully I lower my voice la hehe. I was seeing The Swan with BC on the other line.. man those girls are hot! I mean after their surgeries and make-up.. haha. But their real sexy, I was like telling BC how busty everyone of those girls came out after the program. He told me JH dyed his hair and I was like woot?! But JH said he dyed before.. and yeah, he dyed blue before.. but that's understandable cause it's a punk-colour.. waha.. Cause I guess ruggers rub influence on each other.. man.. people get pretty wild sometimes.. I'm definitely abit green la.. SH also got a chocolate-over but I guess not really that motivated to dye hair. How am I s'pose to explain to my parents? Black is cool okay... lol (excuses from a jealous bastard haha).
So I did went to church yesterday, pastor was talking about christian-faith. I mean, yeah, it's a pretty big issue in christian society and I don't think I'm faithful enough. So you bet how guilty I felt half the time there. Saw some posers there.. hell.. they looked at me like I just pounded them or something..wth. I mean you come church whole-heartedly.. wdv la. Nth against peeps like them.
"Live your life for those that you love," - RELIENT K. Haha yeah I'm crazy bout them. Shit, really gotta get their album before I kill myself. Hope tomorrow can swim... losing my momentum. OH shit I forgot S.H.E's new album coming out.. sian.. spend money again.
Relient K - The One I'm Waiting For
The way that girl can break a heart
It’s like a work of art
And this is the worst part
She knows it
And she’s so confident
That she’s what everybody wants
But nobody wants
Her to know that
So fall back on all of your premonitions
And just learn to listen
To those that have more wisdom than you
And just stop
Putting so much stock
In all of this stuff
Live your life for those that you love
And I’m still waiting for
You to be the one I’m waiting for
The way that girl can turn a head
Well she is such a threat
But don’t ever forget
She knows it
And she’s got it all
All figured out
And she won’t let you doubt
She knows it
I’m still waiting for
You to be the one I’m waiting for
(sung during previous lyrics)
Something tells me that this is going to make sense
Something tells me it’s going to take patience
Something tells me that this will all work out in the end
Damn
Gar Meng introd "Always" by Blink 182 today..yeap they rock.. man, I should've gotten it awhile back, but since Shania Twain came up with her Greatest Hits, it's been a day since I'd actually downloaded new rock songs. Now, finding Pug Jelly really interesting.. I mean their punk, but hell, their still good. No one beats Relient K of course hehe.
Okay, diverting from the diversion, I'm just here to report that I have finally........... cleared up my room. Well, it's not fully done but today I did yank loads and loads and tonnes of sketches into the garbage bag. Never knew I drew so much and hated them all haha. But my biggest reward was able to find all my old notebooks and read through them. Bah, come to think of it, I sounded damn gay when I was younger.. *worships maturity* haha.
But seriously.. those days before me was really depressing, loads of things have happened since two years back. I'm still the bad me, trying to do some good. Peeps should do volunteering during the hols and not earn cash yea? Cause fufillment is much more important than money. Speaking of which never went swimming today.. raining (weather = God = I'm speechless) but I'm taking a long break till after Hari Raya? Or during it, mmhmm.
I was just so pissed with the way my room was; usually get these cleanliness urges at the end of the year. Mum agreed that I needed new furniture (woah.. yes! Finally!) and until then, I can only make do with Ikea boxes and cardboard ones haha. But I'm happy my room is looking better. Everyone prolly remembers it as a chinatown slum.. least now it's looking like a back alley lol (got difference la). mmhmm.
Top 5 things found while Clearing up
5. pri 2 to 5 chinese newspapers
4. nursery word book 5 years ago (damn bro destroyed it)
3. all my art sketches (the wants i want)
2. people's artworks (i forgot to return them since last yr.. woops)
1. my notebooks.. (man their depictions of mental growth)
CHINAman?
Dread math tuition, again today.. well, mum says its for calculative improvisation of some sort, so I had to oblige to a two-day-one-week schedule for math. Can't stand it... hadn't really done any of the work Raymond gave me, he's already moved on to the sec 4 topics. So yeah, I'm taking it in slowly.
Mum is so irritating, she's becoming hysterical.. chinamen attacking me on the street because I wore bright yellow?! How about this one - she's afraid the opposite block might be able to see my handphone on the kitchen table. what? Now she doesn't want me to go swimming because she said chinamen would notice I go out everyday. Save me man... there is NOTHING wrong with our neighbourhood and just because a chinaman was dumb enough to try bluff my family he was a doctor, that doesn't make any differences in PP. We are safe here. Why the hell do we pay taxes for policemen if they can't protect us? I love my mum, really, but I just can't stand her saying all that. She still rocks no matter what and I love her to bits.
So hard to find a swimming coach online. Click on da frigging link and nothing; no particulars of that person at all. Me and SH saw some proud girls yesterday while we were swimming, showing off all their butterfly strokes and backstrokes and stuff like that. At least we're faster than them in frogstyle and freestyle. I have to concentrate on freestyle now, until it's damn good, now, it's so mediocre.. whatever la.
The Seven Year Itch
Wah.. woke up 5 am today to send those choir peeps off.. had to take taxi to hougang ($7.20! wtf?) then Iven paid for our taxi to the airport. Me, him and SH. We were yakking so loudly in the taxi I bet that driver was real pissed off haha. Early morning making a din. Welp, I wished I did go, but hell, no cash and stuff... so it's ok ba. Besides, I don't think it'll be that fun.. I just hope that Daniel remember to get my billabong slippers!
Then we went to watch The Forgotten with Matthew Chan. It was damn good, but it doesn't have that feeling like it would happen in real life.. not like Butterfly Effect. And it's really well done.. can't believe msn calls it a unoriginal plot-flop. C'mon.. give these guys a break.. they did wonderful.. especially those parts where the sky suddenly sucks in people. Real cool. Luckily Julianne Moore got back her son in the end.. and he didn't die. Thank god.. haha I'm too engrossed in the script.
Tuition was so boring man I almost fell asleep infront of Raymond's face. And he gave alot of homework.. haiz. Man.. there goes slacking month.
News on tomb raider 7; it's coming out before june next year man.. can't wait. Eidos announced that they kicked the hell out of Core Design (the original graphic creators of TR) because of tomb raider 6: angel of darkness' big failure. Now, their switching to Crystal Dynamics (yeah.. their the dudes that did Soul Reaver.. awesome graphics) WITH Toby (forgot his surname). He was the original digital master of tomb raider and he's back cause his game Galleon was another flop (LOL.. what can you expect). So.. with Crystal Dynamics on, TR 7 is what everyone's looking out for. And partially cause Lara's hot.
I heard the THIRD tomb raider movie might be coming out, because it is rumoured Angelina Jolie did not only sign for TWO TR movies but THREE. To complete the Tomb Raider trilogy. So it's more busty Ange! Hottest woman ever.. she fits Lara Croft sia. Jolie exclaims the second Tomb Raider flick did so badly was because of poor advertising management. She said they all airbrushed her pictures so much until they lost all the sexiness (I think it's just all psycho babble, really). But if they make a third TR flick.. I'll go buy the dvd and complete my series. Angelina rocks!
House Of Sand & Fog.
I think I'm gonna heck the diet thing, ate KFC then dinner... I'll be totally fat by now. Jurong Swimming Complex so many bengs one.. freaked out sia. There was like a wave pool, they have automatic waves and all that, and they sprayed water like some thunderstorm in the sea, it's cool. But too many people, I think I'm gonna train for speed after tomorrow's farewell bidding to the peeps going to aus! Man, you all are damn lucky. Bet Ezra and Clovis gonna hell up the place.. I heard from BC some parts people just go around town half naked.. I dunno if it's true or not.. that's abit scary.. well, this is Asia.. it's conservative here and there yeah.
Now back as planned, must get to Luke's standard so gonna train for speed and stamina.. but I'm never going anywhere with my speed in the pool la. And then.. I have to get down on food man... Miss Chew said your muscle mass is heavier than fats so I'm just gaining muscle bla bla.. but I don't know I have a dead feeling it's not. Btw must thank Miss Chew for her moisturiser.. which I didn't use anyway haha!
Dad's coming back tonight from Bali.. well, no more prolonged com sessions.. haiz. SH played tomb raider again.. man we took so long to make her freaking jump over some ledges! And kill that Boaz, some alienated girl... who then stabbed the guy (we had to control a guy in tomb raider for fighting boaz) in the end... wtf? Can't he just die in the first place or just snap out his stupid discus FROM THE START and chopped her head off (we had to use his gun ALL the way to the end, where he suddenly took out that discus). But it was fun, and we were so anxious to see that Boaz dead and all.
Jurong Swimming Complex was damn fun! Haha, I'm repeating again but really it is! Who wants to go? Wahaha I'll tag along. They have so many peeps there.. and SH taught be alot of fun stuff to do with the facilities there. Then get ur butt vibrated.. with huge water currents.. stuff like that haha... well.. it's back to FULL concentrated training from tomorrow onwards. Yeah! I hope I lose a good 5 kg of fat mass lolx... whatever that means hehe.
Things You Can't Change
Daniel said he didn't feel like going anywhere today, I mean I can't blame him, cause it's totally understandable yeah? Tomorrow's the Australia trip I mean who would like to go out on a day before a trip? I'm just disappointed that whatever I plan always clashes with somebody's stuff, or peeps don't wanna chill cause their homebound (like Darrell.. such a lazy dope). Anyway over with that.. maybe I'm just too caught up with friends recently, stuff like that.
Anyway, God am I happy to finally be able to go out today (to swim). I mean recently (by that I mean since 3 months ago) I haven't exactly went out wholeheartedly, where everyone is happy with the arrangement. I mean SH always didn't wanna watch movies, Darrell always was too lazy to butt out of the house, and then it was Daniel, so obviously I'm quite pissed la.. Haven't exactly watched any great movie cause the other time we were watching Dollmaster GM was hogging the seat next to Darrell and I was in the worse spot having to explain the plot to Karthick. Welp, what can you do? I mean I've always been taken advantage of, except maybe to SH, because luckily the dude did realise I was hecked up with stuff like this.
GM, it's not I don't wanna go out with you, but I just can't stand arcades anymore and everytime we go out we have to visit one and your dancing and all that. Maybe it's time to think about myself? Hell, I'm one selfish person but recently, I think I gave up alot.. that's what I think.. and I'm really sorry to those people like SH I've always made use of to compensate that selflessness.. real sorry man.
Whatever it is, I won't force you guys to listen to all my whining, hell, if you don't feel like going out, I can't force ya peeps right? And even if we do I'm not always the one who should get the best spot right? Just some stuff ya can't change.
Damn I'm lucky to have this place to fall back on.
Brrrr
Myra introduced Lola Ray to me today.. yeap, her favourite band of all time (she's crazy about them). It's quite cool for a first impression; she sent me 'Automatic Girl' from them. It's smashing.. like to hear from them more hehe.
I heard from SH John talks alot now.. kinda true, he was blabbering so much when he first stepped in. Anyway we watched Catwoman (the whole thing man..) then RE: Apocalyspe... but that was laggy so SH bugged to use the comp then we played Tomb Raider lah.. (damn freaky.. the part where all the insane peeps turn into monsters), Shan Hui's real pro, I think I'll like kill myself then face those mobs. He just shot his way through. John was crazy laughing cause I was so freaked out my those zombified lunatics. Evil sia.. SH played LF2 for the first time, we screamed like crazy cause I got Firzen haha and I was showering all those ice and fire balls and lagging the game man.
So swimming tomorrow at Dan's house? Tong Liang got that ego-bust that we're thick-skinned to go there swim man.. anyway don't go lor.. we'll be as fun HAHA (egomaniacs lolz). Hope Iven doesn't go he'll yak like crazy.
Surfing it.

Catch A Breath
I think I'm traumatised - I got through every SJAB guys' blog.. I mean Ming Jun's one was okay, lite and all that, but the rest was a bit heavy. Like they have colourful fonts, totally amazingly rendered pictures and stuff like that. I saw those blogs then back to mine, I'm real glad this one isn't commercialised. Maybe..... God planned that blog erasement a few months back so I had to revamp this place, and it's all now real basic.. yeap..I'm abit eccentric.
I'm now grooving on Sugar Ray. Although they have an over-narcissitic lead singer and overworked and underpaid band members, they have some cool songs like Mr. Bartender ("It's so easy", yeah). Hell, there are some crazy bands out there that are so fame-deprived.. maybe they want it that way, when you have less fame, your songs are less commercialised. So... Matchbook Romance is rocking.
Bah, heard too much heavy rock today already, getting abit light headed. So anyway, can't wait to go Daniel's house and pack his stuff for Australia. I mean I won't rummage through his clothes and all that, but I'll throw in candy bars, mp3 player, stuff like that that isn't allowed to be brought. Hehe, *evil scheme plotting*. Dan should paragraph more.. I'll screw his com up if I can >:).
Learnt alot from Tong Liang, like his 'mad girl' accent, or the way he speaks. It's like those old female teachers trying to crack a joke, that's how he sounds like sometimes, so.. heyyy Tong Liang, he's great. He's crazy bout backstroke and dolphine style.. dunno what's up with him man.
Relient K's album is out! Nov 2nd and their grool.. well, realised Myra has alot in common with me now.. haha, I changed style! And it's sort of like hers; my chemical romance, sugarcult.. just some cool bands. But heyy, Myra if you see this, we should get out during this hols.. catch a movie? :D
Voidka
Heyy...was motivated to write again after I saw Hanif's blog.
Basically.. I'm just a bit freaked out here.. well, at change. Hormonal growth actually.. nothing physical. I'm becoming like Gar Meng, like any dude down the street. How exactly? Can't be sure myself, but I don't like girlish songs anymore, I like rock, chrisitian-based rock bands, alternative music, sporting out.. and I'm abit more free flowing with the words I use. GM said I've changed, yeah.. and I'm not sure of what kind too.
Like I predicted, guess it's a karma shift.
I don't feel like talking about emotions much now, stuff like that. Is that like being a those guy-guy stuff? Damn weird, it's change, and I'm not used to it. I don't really care, I just hope I'm still the same stubborn me. I bet I still am. I find nothing much to say actually. Whatever, I'm still anti-poser.. aha, until I become one that is (which is a 1/10).
Anyway, back off about me. I saw Sweet Home Alabama again; went to download the dvd rip. It's damn cool, I mean, the romance.. Reese Witherspoon's dilemma, the atmosphere, and the anti-yankee setting. I have the pirated vcd but it's just sad and romantic. Reese isn't really that pretty, but hey, all blondes should get a chance to act.. nothing irrational there.
Ok later.
M.I.A
Dead beat. Went swimming like hell with SH and Tong Liang and Wen Song (we just got them out of minoritised choices), I mean we're still trying to get hold of butterfly stroke.. and I still can't do breast stroke, heck.
I was playing Neverwinter Nights again.. since I got it to work on this com (my brother's, and this is the last week before he bombards it after his exams.. then we have to work out a sharing system man..), the storyline is getting real coarse; but I don't really care, I'm just afraid I lose my henchman then I'm dead to the whole neverwinter world. Okay, cheap thrills, I get it.. but it's been awhile since I got linked up with the net so it's all pretty bitched up right now.
We got off early from the pool because of the deluge. It's been like a week already - the downpour, the soaked-up slippers and thunder craze. SH said he assumed this old dude to be gay cause he was like rubbing his crotch or something (public perversed actions la). Anyway going to Ikea soon, I think there have alot of cool cheap stuff waha.. but I'm spending saved-up cash faster than replenishing them. Whatever, don't have to buy anything right now... got back my mp3 player and besides, Dad's not in because he's on some business trip to Bali.
Gar Meng's place is pretty cool, and his sister is friendly too, I mean, some people you go their house then their elder siblings so stuck up can't talk to you.. I do that to my bro's friends cause I really can't stand them.. neither can my Dad, we both know WHOSE friend spoilt the other comp. Anyway everyone in his family seems to be able to speak better cantonese than him.
Relient K's album came out yesterday, I think it's not goign to be able in Singapore, better go download all the songs. What else? Where's Gorillaz? It's been awhile sicne we've seen them yea? Gawd I'm still addicted to switchfoot's album, y'should definitely buy, it's real good.. I know they're abit older, but they have really nice, cryptical christian music.
Gone
Switchfoot. The Beautiful Letdown. Track No. 8 - Gone.
She told him she'd rather fix her makeup
Than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
Even with the cellphone gone
She told him that she believes in living
Bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
And upsidedown
Don?t say so long in the cellphone
Don?t spend today away
Cuz today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone,
Like history is
Gone, just trying to prove me wrong
And pretend like your immortal
She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every day we borrow
Brings us one step closer to the edge (infinity)
Where your treasure, where's your hope
Forget the world and lose your soul
She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal
Don't say so long
Your not that far gone
This could be your big chance to makeup
Today till soon be
Gone, like yeterday is gone,
Like history is gone,
The world keeps spinning on,
Your going going gone,
Like sumemr break is gone,
Like saturday is gone
Just trying to prove me wrong
You pretend like your immortal your immortal
We are not infinite
We are not permanate
Nothing is immediate
We?re so confident
In our accomplishments
Look at how dark it is
Gone, like Frank Sinatra
Like Elvis and his mom
Like al pacino's cash nothing lasts in this life
My high school dreams are gone
My childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn?t last for long
Life is more than money
Time was never money
Time was never cash,
Life is still more than girls
Life is more than hundred dollar bills
And oh the town fills
Life more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
All the riches of the kings
And up in wills we got information in the information age
But do we know what life is
Outside of our conveinent lexus cages
She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every moment that we borrow
Brings us closer to the God who?s not short of cash
Hey bono I'm glad you asked
Life is still worth living, life is still worth living
