Nodding away to: With Or Without You - U2Ponder Over Yonder: What if everyone in the world has a perfect life? What would the world be like?
Okay....Yesterday, Wednesday, 29th of August 2007, Arif, Lee Hua, Wan Ni and I went to Suntec City to get presents for Ms Lim and Mrs Raj. We left out the rest of the teachers mainly because we were tight on cash. Anyway, Arif, Lee Hua and I went there by motorbikes (I was riding pillion with Lee Hua which is super fun by the way) and all the way there Lee Hua kept complaining that I was heavy and straining his motorbike *rolls eyes*. Its the first time I'm on a motorbike so when I first put on the helmet (Lee Hua helped...too complicated for me) and got on the bike I was like "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!". Yeah...when we reached the main road, this stupid car in front suddenly jammed his brakes so Lee Hua had to the the same and I wasn't paying attention so I sort of got thrown onto Lee Hua's back. Arif came up beside us and Lee Hua complained to him about me being jelly - like. Or rather in his words "Wa lau...Don't gay la...Have some resistance can or not?". So the rest of the way I was resistive. So damn fun with the wind in my face and Arif purposely skidding towards a traffic light with his Vespa. The burnt rubber stank like crap.
When we reached Suntec, Lee Hua got hungry (as usual) and we stopped by at Carl's Junior to stuff himself. I was bored so I gave critical comments in the card they provided. Somehow that made Arif hungry too but he refused to eat there. "Expensive sia...the food also not that much.." was what he said. So, second pit stop at Burger King for Arif's turn to stuff himself. It was there where I realised there weren't any hot girls. I was then given a lecture on why hot girls don't go to the basements of shopping malls. After Burger King we went out to street level to accompany Lee Hua for his daily dose of lung cancer. Wan Ni came just as he was finishing up his dose and we started looking around.
Long story, a lot of hoo - has and we finally settled on a very very nice white strapped, white body, gold bordered, Adidas sports watch. Arif was spokesman and he brought the price down from $118 to $110. Pei Ying wanted to chip in but she wasn't there so we divided it between 5 people. We walked some more until I felt guilty about not getting Mrs Raj a present so we picked up a cushion shaped like a book at More Than Words which costed $19.95.
We made a lot of noise in Carrefour and then decided to go waste some money at the arcade. Lost to Lee Hua in Outrun 2 because of some dumb mistake I made =.=. Anyway, Wan Ni's boyfriend drove up and met her for dinner or something. We guys were tired from shopping so we got back on the bikes and headed home. A bit of racing along this empty stretch of road was entertaining. Hahahaha...
Today, Thursday, 30th August 2007, woke up early early to tag with my mum to her office for a job interview and the people there are really nice. So happy to get a job...watch out ladies...the money's rolling in for me now...hahahahaha...I start Monday as a general work/admin assistant. Woooooo!!
Tomorrow we'll be visiting the teachers at BHSS and Lee Hua and I will be waking up early to hop on his bike and have breakfast in the canteen. God...I miss the breakfast there....hahaha....
Okay...I'll go off for now...I'm watching Friends Season 3 now...weeeeeeeee!!!

Nodding away to: All By Myself - Celine DionPonder Over Yonder: What happens if a doctor falls sick or a surgeon has to undergo surgery?
Watched Man U - Tottenham last night...An amazing goal by prodigy No. 17 Luis Nani albeit the tinniest deflection from Carlos Tevez who did extremely well as a lone striker by the way.
My heroes for the match:
1. Luis Nani (Goal)
2. Rio Ferdinand (Fantastic goal line clearance)
3. Wes Brown (Heroic shot blockage)
My respect goes out to:
1. Dimitar Berbatov
2. Player who attempted that early shot. =.=
Match ended 1 - 0 with Man U having a 60+ % possession. Our first win of the season (about time too) and we're 5 points or 3 wins away from Chelsea. Sure, thats a lot, but its just the start of the season. Next match up, Man U - Sunderland: Eager to see Roy Keane's revamped squad in action with Andy Cole and all.
I've been looking for a job...not much luck with that...I guess I'm picky with jobs and I mostly don't want to work alone. I think I'll start work when I come back from my trip in London on around the 10th or 11th of September. Then I can look forward to seeing Ang again. Miss him and the old ACS people. He's been convincing me to get the MX Revolution thought I'm not very keen on the bulky design because I'll be bringing it to school everyday.
Oh yeah...I just remembered: This Friday the BHSS people will be visiting the teachers again. Lee Hua's gonna get me a 2GB upgrade of RAM and a pair of plug - in canal ear phones and in return I'll get him a portable DVD player. Weeee!! I've no idea what to get the teacher's for their Teacher's Day present though.
Bleah...my Shrek The Third just finished downloading. So I'll go have myself a dose of comedy. See ya!!

Nodding away to: Big Girls Don't Cry - FergiePonder Over Yonder: You never know if someone can sing well just by listening to them talking.
Haven't been posting for the last few days mainly because I've been down with a weird illness. I ate like a whole papaya on Sunday night as my midnight snack while watching the Man U - Man City match and the next morning when I woke up I still felt bloated. That does not happen very often. Bryant never ever feels bloated for more than an hour. So I thought "Hmm...maybe its the fruit keeping me full." . And it turned out that the entire day I felt bloated until in the evening where I started crapping liquid. Not diarrhoea. Diarrhoea is liquid shit. This was like peeing from my ass. And it was frigging bad...lasted through the whole night together with a fever, body aches and a couple of vomits in the afternoon. I examined my vomit and noted that it was all half digested papaya together with the occasional old strand of vegetable from Saturday night. So Monday morning I popped down to see the doc and she gave me two jabs on each butt cheek and like 6 different pills to take.
Monday the fever was gone but I still felt bloated and the diarrhoea kept on coming. Tuesday was my ELTECH exam and I knew that there was no hope anymore. Slow recovery on Tuesday and Wednesday. Caught the England - Germany match last night and the first half was pretty entertaining although it was interrupted by quick dashes to the toilet.
Anyway, holidays have officially started for me, and I've applied for a 4 day temp job at the National Stadium packing goodie bags. Pretty good money - $50 a day, 9am - 6.30pm. But Xin Yi and I haven't got a reply yet. I need money. Lots of it. There's a lot of things I have to buy, like a phone to replace my stolen one, my dream Season 1 to 10 FRIENDS collection, a Tarantula Keyboard and a Copperhead Mouse.
But the best thing I'm looking forward to during this holidays is Teacher's Day. I really want to see people I haven't seen in a long time, as well as pregnant Ms Lim. lol. Can't wait for the baby to come out all cute and fat in December with me and Hazzy celebrating away.
I miss you 5N1.

Nodding away to: Obviously - McFlyPonder Over Yonder: Does anyone feel what I feel? Experience my experiences? Think what I think? Or am I the only person in this world who is at a level where no one has been before?
Followed Kiffy to Funan today to get his gay laptop fixed once and for all. Told him not to get Fujitsu but noooooooo. He has to go and get it. After we sent it for servicing, we went to KFC on the ground floor and the queues were quite long. I told him to queue up along the line where a girl was taking orders because the guy next to her was slow and inexperienced. But noooooooooo. Kiff made me stand in the other line to queue as well. Sure, the "guy" counter was faster until this couple in front of us. He took really long with this couple and the "girl" counter was at least 3 customers ahead of him. And being Kiff, he had to go tell the guy off for working slowly. Sigh. Why doesn't anyone listen to me. Do I look immature? Maybe inexperienced?
Anyway, after I stuffed myself with a 3 piece chicken set (thanks Kiff), we took a long walk to Plaza Singapura to get Xin Yi her anniversary gift. As usual, his navigation and orientation was atrocious. We made a detour to Bugis to poke around for any interesting things and when we exited the building, he started to lead the way. Guess where? Back to Funan. I wanted to bonk his head. In the end, after several random pointing he got the right direction (we looked like some weird tourists) we headed towards PS. During the journey there he gave me his usual lecture on what's wrong with my attitude towards people (wet blanket and sarcasm) and how to get girls.
We reached PS albeit some close calls oriented around traffic accidents. We did the usual tour of PS before coming across this shop which sold sex games (strip poker, foreplay games; stuff like that) and we showed considerable interest in it. Kiff wanted to buy a Russian Roulette game (I didn't dare to see what other content it offered) and I wanted to get this ultra funny stick-on-door poster. They had many types but there was a couple about instructions for fishermen and computer nerds on how to *ahem*. I wanted to get that for Sam so she could stick it in her folder or something. Hahahahaha.
Not very far from the shop though, Kiff found a pink stuffed dolphin and he exclaimed so loudly that the shop assistant thought I was shoplifting. He was going ga-ga over it:
Kiff," Oh my god!! This is it!! I found it!!"
Me," I thought she liked cats?"
Kiff," But she likes dolphins more!"
Me," Okay...I'm going back to the sex shop. Come get me when you're done."
Not very dramatic but it was kinda sweet to see him like that (I am NOT gay). So, he told them to reserve it for him until he came back to but it. We left the shop, went to the toilet to crap and pee and wandered around a bit more before returning. Upon payment, Kiff promptly offered his EZ-Link card to the cashier.
Me," Er...why you giving her your EZ-Link?"
Kiff," Where got?? Eh!! Sorry sorry!!"
Me," -_-" "
We got out of there before anything else happened, and took the escalator down. Voila!! Guess who we bumped into? Okay...it was more like Kiff ran into. Literally. We saw Sean, JJ and some Mr. Pretty Face and Kiff was all retarded, jumped off the escalator and ran to Sean and shouted "Boo" which nearly gave Sean a heart attack. Sean was wearing a I (heart) NY shirt by the way. We said hi's and bye's and eventually separated. They went off for dinner while we headed for the bus stop. The rest of the journey was surprisingly calm for Kiff's standards.
Its getting late...1.07 now...I've got soccer with the guys at 10, so I've got to sleep peels..See you next post my dear valued reader..lol..
F.Y.I:
1. Qian Hui had a short MSN conversation with me before I left to meet Kiff. First form of communication with her for a long time.
2. I tried to apply for a couple of on-campus jobs (Scriptwriter/Director) and I received a response " We only accept FSV (Film, Sound Video) students". Screw you asshole. I think I'm better than some of your stuck up FSV students.

Nodding away to: It Ends Tonight - The All-American RejectsPonder Over Yonder: I've been thinking deeply like I always do when I was on the bus home from Maths exam. I've been thinking about how everyone is pushing hard to study and score well and get fantastic grades. But I wonder, what do we study for? Why do we strive for fantastic A's? Is it to impress other people and build a reputation? Do we do it because if we don't we can't get a job? Do we do it because we genuinely want to understand how our respective area of education operates? Theoretically speaking, that is the purpose of education: To understand how things work. But as I see it, everyone in this modern society has become so caught up and engrossed in this competition for higher level jobs and valuable certificates, that all of us has forgotten what is the true meaning of education.
EG1 Maths was horrible today. The last time I did so badly for any subject or module was in Sec 2. Unless of course you count my annual Chinese failure. lol. To Sean (who's retaking his O Levels) and Sam, I know we're not taking any more Chinese exams, but cheers: Here's to our 4th anniversary. Hahaha. Anyway, I know for a fact that I'm going to retake my EG1 module again next semester. I have a feeling that goes the same for my ELTECH. Sigh. I've been playing this whole semester: Watching movies, playing CS and just being lazy everyday. This is the price I pay for enjoying my first semester. Very expensive. I've made a resolution to get my butt back on course during the holidays. I'm gonna focus on two things: Work off the fat and slap on the muscle, and study hard and prepare for the next semester. No more fooling around.
Anyhow, I left the exam room about 20 mins early, and I just slacked outside the door waiting for the rest. And guess who I spot standing with her friends outside a nearby room? Qian Hui was with a couple of her classmates and I decided not to do anything. So for 20 whole mins, I just acted cool and pathetic by myself. Although she saw me as well, she didn't do anything as well. The whole time I kept thinking she was looking at me and telling her friends how pathetic I am. Listening to Blake Lewis' version of You Give Love A Bad Name helped me take her off my mind. By the way, Blake Lewis's rendition of that song is horrible. He doesn't have a rocker's voice and the beat box part just spoiled the song.
Sam's been busy these few days with her school work and all, so I haven't been talking to her much on MSN. Hope everything goes well for her. It seems like almost everyone is enjoying poly life. Kiff, Sam, Kar Ho, Wan all seem to be doing well in their studies. I think I'm the only one who's failing modules. Sigh. That brings me to another subject. Pei Ying is going off to England for her studies and no matter what I say she isn't gonna change her mind. Poor girl. She doesn't know what she's gotten herself into. She's going to suffer like never before. No one ever listens to my advice or suggestions. Ignorant, stubborn and hot headed is what will be her downfall.
I now at Episode 19 of Heroes and I'm telling you this is one great show. I love the way they entwine all the different characters and their lives together. I notice that this show also relies heavily on destiny or fate. I especially find the scenes with the Hiro and Ando, the two Japanese guys who try their best to get around to their "Mission" funny. What with their hilarious cultural differences and language barriers in America its a joy to see them blunder around. And of course, there's the sweet dessert consisting of "Claire Bennet" played by Hayden Panettiere. Ahhhh...so sweet, cute and adorable. America: Where all your dreams come true.
Oh well...I've got to get back to Episode 20. Catch y'all later mates!!

Nodding away to: Way I Are - TimbalandPonder Over Yonder: Do famous people behave the same way as normal people like us? Like eat junk food, get stressed over school or work, swear and curse as freely as we do...hmm...
Didn't post yesterday mostly because I've been busy with last minute studying for my Maths exam tomorrow, and watching Heroes (which is absolutely amazing by the way). There's this actress in Heroes Hayden Panettiere, who in my opinion, would be my dream all - American girl whom I would gladly marry, settle down somewhere in Los Angeles or New York and forget about all my problems here. She's 18 by the way...only a couple of months older than me...but who cares?She beats Amanda Bynes, Emma Watson, Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen twins hands down...*droooooooooools*...I've been thinking of her during every spare moment since I first saw her in Heroes...
Enough said, lets move on to soccer. Although I didn't watch the match, I caught the first half on commentary and I was smiling all over when I head Paul Scholes brought out the first goal. Even though he isn't on the national team anymore, he's still a hero to me. When half time came, I was too sleepy to stay up so I crawled into bed dreaming of Hayden. Next morning when I checked up on Soccernet I was disappointed again to see the score at 1 - 1 with Ronaldo getting a 3 match ban for doing a Zidane. I totally agree with what Sir Alex said about Ronaldo falling for pathetic traps laid out by inferior players and getting himself into trouble. Anyway, I'm confident that Ronaldo will learn from his mistakes and this incident will only make him a better player than ever before.
I watched Bourne Ultimatum today; its the 3rd and last installment for the 3 part series: Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum. I must say this last part was fantastic, especially if have watched the first two films. The directing is very unique and I especially like the way they 'fused' the 2nd film together with this one seamlessly. Very smooth and interesting directing with one of the best story lines I've seen. I would give 5 stars for the whole trilogy and I'm not being biased about it...hahaha...
I've gotta catch up on Heroes now...*drooool* I'm starting to miss Hayden...So, catch you on the next post...

Nodding away to: Stolen - Dashboard ConfessionalPonder Over Yonder: Animals are classified under different species followed by different families. Such as dogs can be divided into Golden Retrievers, Jack Russells and Labradors because of their different looks and body structure. Ever thought that humans could be divided the same way? Chinese, Malays, Indians, Africans, Ang Mohs all look slightly different than the other and have different body structures too.
Stayed home today like I do for most days, and today's the only day since poly started that I really sat down and studied properly for like a total of 4 hours. With breaks of CS in between of course. lol. Did EG1 Maths until Complex Numbers which I decided to continue tomorrow instead...looked too complex for me...I'm hoping alot that this studying will help me pass my exam this Friday...I so do not want to retake this gay module again...
So, after my Maths, I decided to revert my modified Nvidia GeForce 7600 driver back to the native VGA one...its been giving me problems with my CS in OpenGL mode and my Battlefield 2 can't run at all. Retarded Nvidia taking so long to come up with a Vista driver for my graphic card...My 4 year old Dell desktop went kaput again...this time it was the power supply box and my Nvidia GeForce 6800GT fan broke down...quickly replaced the broken parts before my dad starts shouting because my gay bro wants to play "Warcraft 3" and "Granado Espado". At least he thinks he's playing. Every time I pass by the screen and I peep at him playing, I either want to laugh my ass off or just take his head and knock it against the wall. He gets massacred in DOTA, creates a DOTA game and starts it with people from India, US and Australia in it; and I may not play Granado Espada but I think I'm experienced enough to tell that if your character's body is lying still on the ground with blood all around it isn't something good. Yet, the bugger keeps playing the same way again and again and just keeps dying again and again...is he so mentally slow that he can't tell that if keeps doing the same thing he'll just end up with the same results? A real GG he is. Not Good Game. Gay Goondu.
Qian Hui messaged me this afternoon at 2:21pm asking if I had helped her book rooms for her and her friends for tomorrow. I've been trying to log in the library network since I woke up but the stupid network is down or something. So I told her there was something wrong and she just said "okay, thanks anyway". I think she's either acting all pretentious that I didn't even tell her I like her or she really just doesn't give a damn about me and just used me to help her pass her C programming exam. Either way it isn't nice or helping me at all. It just reinforces my decision of forgetting about her.
I've been hearing Kiff, Sam and Kar Ho raving on and on about this show Heroes. Its supposed to be really good with the characters having super powers and stuff; Sam and Kar Ho are going ga-ga over some of the cast coming down to Singapore for a meet and greet. So I've decided to give the show a go after my exams on Tuesday. I've left my laptop on for 25 hours now...not gonna say why I'm doing it...I think you should know why. Its a total of 7.58Gb for all 24 episodes....mother hell big...my external hard drive is already stuffed with movies...I think its time to buy the DVDs so I can delete some of them...not VCDs please...only the best quality with commentaries and bloopers for me. Hahahaha.
Ah well...I guess its time for me to stop blabbering about nonsense...I just realised that the only reason I stay online so late at night is to wait for Sam to come online. lol. That girl makes my day/night. Hahahaha...Okaaaay...I'll sign off for now and go kill some people in Battlefield 2...gotta practice landing this new fangled vertical take off plane they have...lol...

Nodding away to: Incomplete - Backstreet BoysIts my second post for today...and I'm feeling frustrated again....I don't know why I've been feeling so frustrated lately...its an on/off thing....it can happen any time, any day...
- Stupid exams are like only a few days and I STILL haven't begun studying!!
- I want to appeal to transfer to Aerospace but my grades has to be good!! But I don't want to go to some class like a stranger if my appeal gets through!!
- I'm going for a weekend trip to London on the 8th of September. But of ALL weekends it has to be a weekend where there are completely NO EPL MATCHES AT ALL. WTF LA.
- I'm still super duper frustrated with Qian Hui. Why can't anyone give me a chance? Am I Frankenstein? Hunched Back of Notre Dame? Or do I look like some geek freak? I seriously think I should just go change my name and just live as an outcast on my own. ARRRRRRGH!!!
Nodding away to: Dark Blue - Jack's Mannequin
Ponder Over Yonder: The Chinese people believe that when you move on to the next world, they send them off in style by burning "money", "cars" and "houses" so their loved ones can have a comfortable next life. Why is it the people in the life before this don't ever burn great big houses and cars for our life here?
Okay. I'm back home...Actually reached home at 7am...Damn mum wants me home by 7am...zzz..watched the Man U - Reading match at this coffee shop at Holland Village with Ang Moh..it was kinda disappointing though...although it ended 0 - 0 I must say Reading played a good game..Their defense was surprisingly solid, large chunk of the credit goes to their keeper who pulled several fantastic saves, denying the Devils any goals...Man U dominated the possession 71% - 29% but that still wasn't enough..Personally I didn't like the referee; he should have given a penalty when Rooney went down in the box from a tackle from a Reading defender even though the ball was travelling goal-wards...SCREW YOU ASSHOLE...now Rooney has a hairline fracture in his foot and might be out for quite some time...The next interesting thing to happen was in the second half when Dave Kitson came on for 45 seconds before getting sent off for a brutal tackle against Evra....FUCK YOU TOO...hahahaha....serves the bugger right...
Anyway, I dragged myself home at 7am and crashed onto my bed and was unconscious until 2pm...found some cake in the fridge and I ate that while reading yesterday's newspaper...Ang Moh's room has had a makeover....he cleared most of his junk although there' still enough junk to make a Karang Guni man drool...he has a new big ass bed, a new stylish table for his PC and a new classy wardrobe....But then again, its the same old Kevin...zzzz...
I've got my EG1 Maths Exam this Friday and its not looking good....I haven't even opened my lecture notes yet...I really hope I don't have to retake my Maths and Electricity modules...shucks...I suppose I could just mug like crazy until next Tuesday then I'll have a 2 month holiday...sigh...
Lastly, I've got an announcement: I've decided to give up on Qian Hui from my lecture class because I realised that I AM the most hopeless when it comes to girls and what ever I do will not change her mind. I don't want to force her either...So here's something I just scribbled up before I say good-bye:
As I look at you from across the room,
I try to tell you all my feelings that I have for you,
You seem to make me happier day by day, yes you do,
Though I’m disappointed you don’t see me the way I see you,
I tell myself to hang on and hope for a flower to bloom,
I love the way you talk, the way you walk,
All in all, the way you make my world rock,
I yearn to carry you around in a beautiful white frock,
Only if you let me take your key and turn that lock,
Every time I see you all the rays of the sun,
Are streaming through the waves in your hair,
The beating of my heart is a drum,
Its lost and it’s looking for a rhythm like you.

I'm giving blogging a shot...since I visit so many blogs everyday maybe I should start one...bleah...
I chose this skin NOT because I'm gay. lol. Its because I find that it suits me currently...I've been wanting to have someone to look forward to everyday, someone to hug every evening after school, someone to tell my problems to, someone I can adore every second. BUT, it so happens that I'm the most rejectable guy...zzzz...I've been rejected ever since I was born...harharhar...before I was born some angel probably took one look at me and stamped an invisible "Rejectee" on my forehead...works automatically too!! Girls don't need special equipment to see that...its wireless!! Haiz....I'm just so ever grateful for this person who picks me up every time I fall because of the same reason...I owe her alot...hahaha... =)
And here's a cool video of Wayne Rooney at Rooney Manor (Farking ass big) and his deadly accurate shots...hahaha...damn funny...
Anyway, some really retarded stuff just happened today/last night. Last night I told my mum I wanted to stay the night at Kevin's place to watch Man U's first game of the season against Reading. And she said no. Reason: I don't feel comfortable; but you can watch the match and come home after that. WTF? I'm not staying in Geyland you know? It's KEVIN'S. The RICH dude!! Wa lau!! The match is at 11pm to 1am!! Who the hell comes home at 2am?No bus, no MRT and its 20km away!! Its not like I shit money out and I take a cab home right? Then this afternoon I put my negotiating skills to the test again and bargained for thonning until 6am so I could take a bus home. More retarded-ness spouted out. I have to be home by 7am and she wants me to check the bus timings to be sure the service starts at least by 6am. WTF... I'm going to be 18 lah!! I'm not some kid you know?!?! I'm not KEVIN. WTFFFFFF.
And the most RETARDED OF ALL RETARDED THINGS:
Mum: Your holidays in September?
Me: Yeah.Why?
Mum: Your father is having a flight to London. He'll drop you there for the weekend and pick you up on Monday on his next flight.
-_-"....I probably have the most talk cocked family ever...
Oh yeah...before I go off...here's a Just-For-Laughs moment taken on Friday night at Kiff's place...LMAO..Don't kill me...
