random laughter

2009-01-03T01:02:00.002+08:00

2009.

2009-01-01T18:13:00.003+08:00

yay it's the first day of 2009 and i'm at home watching teevee. how eventful!

HAHA the first few hours of 2009 was awesome. though i was half blind because my contacts screwed up again. i think i should carry a case with me everywhere i go.

i freaking need to start my work. maybe tomorrow. hahaha die la dieeee

2008.

2008-12-30T01:26:00.002+08:00

2 more full days till 2009. that means a new year!
and this reminds me, i havent done my work. woo! what a great way to start the new year. and sadly i most probably will be spending my new year's day doing work. how sad is that?

2008 has come and gone superbly fast. come to think of it, i can't really remember how the year went by. hahaha. i guess life's that short.

2009 better be awesome.

to: let it reindeer.

2008-12-20T01:12:00.002+08:00

thank you for everything.

you're probably going to ask me what you did, but its just a general thank you for everything that you are, have done, and going to do. haha! i'm in a thankful mood today.

intermission

2008-12-15T00:27:00.002+08:00

if there is one thing that i could have right now, it'd be the power to read people's thoughts.

familiar faces

2008-12-14T01:08:00.002+08:00

finally met trella boys today. after about 3 weeks? or so. haha. i have awesome friends. and then we went to jam on impulse. awesome again.

program game try outs was lame today. i swear SINGAPORE'S WEATHER IS FUCKING LAME

i swear i am addicted to yakult.

pain.

2008-12-13T00:18:00.004+08:00

today i learnt that you should not wear your contact lenses to sleep. that's what i did last night because i felt that home was boring and i was lazy to go home. so on impulse i went over to my friend's house to sleep and he doesnt use lenses so there wasnt any solution. and then my eye was being lame this afternoon because i think the very dry lenses scratched my eye or something due to overuse of the stupid silicon things you stuff in your eye cause you are half blind. luckily, solution and contacts case were available at that point of time. and luckily there was a bed for me to sleep and rest my eyes. if i was outdoors somewhere, i would probably have gone blind or sth. thankzzzzz. haha. i wish i had perfect eye sight. wake up and then everything's clear, not blurry.

ANYWAY.
so after that little war i had with my eye i thought everything was okay but NOOO. all of a sudden i had gastric. REALLY BAD gastric. i couldn't even walk properly. thank god i wasn't alone. someone had to buy food for me. haha. i dont usually get gastric so i dont know why it happened today. everything's fine now though. i want to sleep.

everyone in my class is still so hyped up about the study trip. they'll check facebook everyday for new photos. haha. EVEN DURING PROG MEETING.

i'm really looking forward to jamming on sunday. yay.

all we need is a reason

2008-12-10T19:24:00.003+08:00

So i'm back from my study trip. was quite an eye opener i must say. i'm glad to be living in Singapore (although the weather still sucks) and thankful for my family and everything that i have.
I feel for those kids in Cambodia, they dont even get a chance to study or persue their dreams. They have to start earning a living for themselves at a young age. i've even seen this girl who's probably only about 4 years old trying to sell stuff to tourists. oh well, because i can't do anything, i shall pray for them to be happy.

i am very lazy to update about the trip, because there is either too much to say or i dont really like explaining or it really is impossible to explain. haha. i felt the class bonded quite a bit and that is awesome.

vietnam's weather is pretty nice, though i should've brought a thicker hoody. i thought i was being smart by bringing a stupid hoody that i didnt like so i could trash it for the trip instead of my AA one. ugh. i almost died during the boat ride at halong bay. i swear i was freezing and i swear it was the coldest i've ever been.

i want to post pictures up but i'm also lazy. someone tell me what i should do!
oh and i still have to go develop my photos. that means i need money. ugh.

its weird to be back here in Singapore. the sun is still shining ever so brightly (i was secretly hoping that before i come back, some miracle would happen and the the temperature here would drastically drop and therefore i would be happy). THE WORST PART IS i have tons of work ahead of me. it's supposed to be the end of the block and the start of the holiday after this week but i think our deadline would be extended and therefore i think i will have to do work during the first few days of the holidays.

on a lighter note, Christmas is coming and everyone seems to be excited and happy about it. Well, Happy Holidays everyone!

WILL POST PHOTOS SOON. i hope.

time to turn it up.

2008-12-01T18:00:00.003+08:00

i am reviving my blog for a few reasons.
one, i'm bored
two, i'm bored
three, i feel like blogging.

ANYWAYS i'll be leaving my house in 2 hours time for vietnam/cambodia! though the flight's at 4am. but yeah.

i realise that whenever i read people's blogs i'd really be tempted to blog then when i log into my account, i'd stare at this blank screen and ask myself stupid things like, 'what the hell do i want to say?' oh well.

until i come back to post pictures of the trip and then think of something to blog about, BYE.

yay

2008-10-09T03:05:00.002+08:00

FINALLY DONE WITH THE POSTER. PLEASE COME!
meanwhile i'm looking forward to KL! :D

2008-10-04T00:41:00.003+08:00

2008-07-22T00:28:00.002+08:00

I don't understand why this is happening to me. maybe its not all that bad. but i need some faith. it's just too hard.

anyways. today's not productive, at all. though it was kinda fun. well, it was, till, uh, forget it. life's a bitch.

tomorrow will be better, i hope. my blog's getting more and more boring. fuck it.

EH, GOD, GIVE ME SOMETHING TO RELY ON

i cant find it.

2008-07-21T00:18:00.003+08:00

one more night, and we'll be spinning around the room

yeah how i wish life was a song. it'd be easy.

it's been kinda of a tough week for me. okay, not really. just many ups and downs. ups are mostly cause of my band, they're the best. seriously.

well, after watching weekend the other day i'm really excited to play now. especially cause we've got a new song and stuff.

okay will blog more soon. :D

just need a little faith.

2008-07-09T19:15:00.006+08:00

i collected my 35mm-on-mediumformat film the other day and it turned out pretty much screwed. well not cause of the film but it was kind of a 'first practice roll' and since i had to estimate where the picture would be captured the pictures didnt turn out as good as i expected it to be. most of them were higher than what i thought i was shooting, so yea. here are some :D

i fell in love with this 94 year old boy

2008-07-06T23:57:00.011+08:00

yes, its my grandfather's birthday today and he's the best and i love him to death. i decided to document this journey with the help of the trusty camera.
so here are some pictures that i took on the slr, and i'll accompany it with tag lines to tell you about the dinner. enjoy

first came the car ride. seated in the front passenger seat, it provided me comfort and an awesome view. (if you look closely you can actually see the camera lens from the rear window of the car. hahah)

then, from my brain to my eye through the camera's viewfinder through the lens and through the car's window, i took this shot. the trees and the 'i-am-going-to-set-in-an-hour's-time' sun.

so from the front passenger seat of the car, i passed by many HDB flats and many clouds that said hi to me. shutter speed 1/640 and then click and the clouds smiled. the next few pictures are for MUSTAQIM since he wants to make love with clouds.

and then i passed by some private estates with more clouds that greeted me so i did the same click thing.

suddenly there were threes of threes and it was aligned in threes with some trees (and of course clouds) so i felt the urge to show you how it looked like and this is how it is.

then we reached the dinner place, and this is my beloved grandpa. he's going to take a bite of some i-forgot-what. he kinda looks like a china man, i just realised. but duh, he's chinese.

and so, some expensive rich man's food came (also known as shark's fin) and it is tasty and this pictures still reminds me of its taste although i had it a few hours ago.

so my cute grandfather was happy and he smiled at the camera while my cousin sticks a thumbs up at the side but it is blurred.

and so the dinner ended and i had to take a portrait photo of my grandmother and grandfather. one's 87 and one's 94. :D

OKAY BYE TOMORROW GOTTA WAKE UP AT WHAT THAF 7.15am

eyes wide

2008-07-05T21:32:00.000+08:00

this is what you do when you're bored.

digital camera macro + diana lens

went over to punggol beach today. it was quite unexpected. many fishermen, many photographers, many insects and many dead things (like a dead TORTOISE) and i finally finished my 35mm roll. five minutes ago i was hiding in my toilet with all lights off and rolling the film back manually. ha. confirm got light leaks. but i will go and send it for development tomorrow or something.

see,never bluff. diana + punggol beach.
i took this mus's digicam with macro cause i didnt bring my digicam. ha.

i am the boy who got carried away

2008-07-03T22:13:00.000+08:00

oh my god. i've got a presentation tomorrow at 9am. that means i have to wake up at 7am tomorrow.
i havent been waking up at 7am lately. im praying really hard that i'll be able to wake up tomorrow.
i hate taking the morning bus. its damn crowded and everyone is annoying. or maybe i get easily annoyed cause im still in the 'i-wanna-sleep' mode.

anyway here are some of the photos that came out of my diana. so dreamy omgsh but no very impressive.
and yes, melvin and i finally did the 35mm self-made-must-roll-back-in-storeroom adaptor. haha. cant wait to shoot.

1: layer-layer-layer-kaysee'sfatshirt-melvin shot

2: dont know why got traffic light shot

3: clouds and cable lines shot

4: quite ugly random shot #1

5: funny thing shot

6: gigantic parkview building shot

7: rifle range road shot

WILL UPLOAD NICER SHOTS SOON.

mistaken toy

2008-07-02T01:29:00.000+08:00

i finally collected my film today, which my nephew conveniently screwed.

it all happened last week, when i came home late and i saw my nephew in my room. my dad usually brings him over once in a while for a stayover. so i was like, okay, hello.
then i looked over to my table, to my horror, only to find the back of the camera OPENED and EXPOSED TO LIGHT. obviously he thought it was a fun toy so he started playing and opened it. so i shouted. hahah. soon my parents came over to see what had happened. told them that the small idiot exposed all of my film but being nice parents, they wanted their son to be happy so they said, just go and develop, i'll pay for this one.

so when i collected today, only 2 pictures came out. TWO. and i had to pay $6 for it. Lucky uncle was very nice, if not i would have to pay $11.70 instead. i came home and told my mother that i collected today (to collect money :D) and she asked to see, so i complained that only two pictures came out. then she said, 'aiyo, nevermind next time take again. dont be sad ok son!'
hahah my mum's very nice. but sometimes she goes into this weird pms mood where she comes into my room and shouts at me for no apparent reason.

and yeah, i sent in another roll today, the one which has pictures of the phototrip, hope to collect soon.

these same thoughts running through my head

2008-06-29T03:34:00.000+08:00

today was interesting. the sun sucks though. i practically could bathe with my own sweat just standing under the sun.

well, i managed to get a few nice shots on the slr. sent my previous roll for developing which im gonna collect tomorrow, and hopefully send today's roll on monday or something, cause i havent finished it yet.

enjoy! courtesy of me. hahahah :D DONT STEAL MY PICTURES K

WILL UPLOAD DIANA SHOTS SOON IF I THEY'RE NICE.

come peace, reside inside of me

2008-06-28T03:13:00.000+08:00

yes, tomorrow is photo day. i've got my diana and the slr in my bag now. cant wait. railway track thing, here i come! the only thing keeping me down is money, my God. need money to develop. need money to buy film. i swear i will find some way to use 35mm in my diana, although square shots are so cool.

i just read this comment the other day and it really made sense. this guy said about digital cameras being lame. see, nowadays you have digital cameras and you just take pictures. like it or not, you can always choose to keep or delete it straight away. film cameras, on the otherhand just seem so much more like photography. nowadays after you take pictures with your digicam, half the pictures you take wont be uploaded. most of the time, when you reach home you'll just take one glance and it and leave it in your memory card. -.-

so, diana vs holga. HAHA im telling you that the diana rocks more than the holga simply because its harder to find, it looks so much cooler, and it is awesomer than the holga.

ok, i need to stop getting all photo-artsy and shit if not fullfix will come screw my ass with his pictures.
need to see fullfix soon. please visit my blog in the army. i am not gay but i miss you. haha

deathcab is the shit. it soothes you. its amazing how music can affect oneself. cant wait for deathcab in singapore. yay

will update soon with pictures of the shoot. hopefully i get awesome pictures :D

fear is the heart of love

2008-06-26T02:02:00.000+08:00

from now on i'll post random thoughts. since i have forgotten how to blog. i swear i have forgotten how to blog. my mind always blanks out when i am at this terminal thing. haha.

why is developing so bloody expensive. if i go shooting on saturday again that means i have to develop 2 rolls which means it will be 2x11.70= 23.40.

i hate the singapore transport system. i have to put up with so many annoyances just cause the country i live in is small. and its not even my fault!

firstly and most importantly, cars in Singapore is expensive. and its obviously because singapore is already so small that the government cant afford everyone to buy cars. if everyone bought cars, there'll be traffic jams everywhere and the public transport system will then become more efficient cause its faster than taking the roads. so its a never ending vicious cycle. its lame. you have to be 18 to get a driving license. but thats not my complain. even after i get my driving license i wouldnt have my own car to drive. unless of course, you're fortunate enough to be born in a rich family and your parents would get a car for you.
I NEED A CAR. in desperate times. sure, soon enough i'd be able to drive my DAD's car, but obviously he would need to use it everyday. so its the same as me not having a car. wth. this doesnt make sense.

take this situation for example, you need to go to sentosa tomorrow, but you have something on in the evening such that you need to bring equipment like your guitar and pedals. so what now? dont tell me you have to bring your equipment to the beach? thats ridiculous. if you had a car, WOOH. it'd all fall in place. easy. no sweat. just dump your equipment in your car, go to the beach, have plenty of fun knowing that your equipment is safe and sound in your car. after that drive down to where ever you need to be.

look, lets say you're at ANG MO KIO now, and you want to go to TAMPINES.
fastest bus route: 1 hr and 10 minutes.
CAR: 15 minutes.

WHAT THAF.

more reasons why.
- transport system ends around midnight. its just gay.
- you gotta carry heavy equipment everywhere you go just for jamming that day.
- transport system is crowded.
- transport system sucks, cause you dont have buses at your house's nearest bus stop that goes to where ever you want to. most of the times you gotta change buses/trains.

ahh. sometimes i wish i was borned somewhere else. sad to say, i am one of those many/few people that is not THAT proud to be a Singaporean. seriously.
to me, Singapore has to culture AT ALL.
Little India, Chinatown - tourist attractions. but why? its not even 'uniquely Singapore'. all adapted from India and China.
*EDITED*
IF YOU WATCH PROGRAMS LIKE TRAVEL AND LIVING, I SWEAR YOU'LL KNOW WHAT IS CULTURE. anyway,
And the weather. woooh. dont let me start on the weather. i dont know why some expats can still say 'beautiful weather'. and im going to stop here.
sure, its a beautiful urban country. but certainly is lacking on scenic landscapes.
in the states like almost everyone lives on land. what i mean is they dont have things like HDB, Condominums and Landed property. Everyone's house looks so nice.
"EH, YOU STAY HDB ONE AH"
"I STAY TERRACE HOUSE ONE LEH"
"EH MY HOUSE CONDO LEH"

WHAT THAF

i guess the only think i like about Singapore is, um the greenery. hah.

haha later the government people come read this and send me for councilling. they're gonna ask me to read SINGAPORE IS THE BEST one million times.

so tell me how you'll live your life.

2008-06-19T02:27:00.000+08:00

im finally blogging again, haha. Its quite funny how i blog on and off. Sometimes i just dont know what to blog about. My mind just blanks out when i come to this blogging page thing. haha.

Lets see, oh yeah, i dropped my phone on the bus the other day and was cursing and swearing but lucky enough for me, my buddies with the smart thinking decided to hail a cab and chase the bus. finally we got to it and my phone was just lying on the upper deck of the bus. THANK GOD. but i wasted 5 bucks for nothing. though its much better than throwing away my phone which costs so much more.

Just took Japanese class test the other day. I have this feeling im going to get very low marks for it. Haha. Its annoying how the words all sound and look the same and just wanting to memorise it kills all your brain cells.

Awesome, the block is going to end soon. I just want to get through with the Japanese role play. I'm seriously going to screw it up and i think im going to be the main character since my group only has bloody three people and the other guy does not look like he suits the role of the main character. Right now im trying to finish writing my story for creative storytelling, haha its been quite a while since i last wrote a full story. Well, i gotta cut my story short in this assignment too, cause the requirement is only 2 pages.

I'm looking forward to next week. There's steamboat and no school. HAHA.
Lets see, next block i've only got 9-12 class, and im trying to look for work so that i can earn some cash. I'm seriously broke now and i gotta save some money for rainy days. On the other hand, if i do not manage to find work next month i'll be very free so its kind of a 50-50 thing for me.

I want to go to Singfest but i think the sound is going to be quite bad again and i dont want to spend three hundred bucks just for my viewing pleasure but the bands are awesome and its a once in your life experience. But whatever i dont have the money anyways and i dont want to ask my parents for it so, forget it. Haha.

Okay this i blogged this post on impulse yay just as long as i continue to keep the blog alive.
Good night

i'm the king of what i could have been

2008-06-05T00:50:00.000+08:00

i had a lot of things to say. but my mind is kinda blank now.

I watched my guilt blossom before me
Like a tender shoot
With thirsty roots
O’ how my garden grows
The shameful seeds I’ve sown
I watched its stems sprawl above me
Its dark shadow cast its cloud around me
But I can live with it
I’ll live in it

i've got your picture, im coming with you

2008-06-02T23:37:00.000+08:00

it seems like everyone's getting hyped out about the paramore concert. i dont even know if they're really coming down. haha.
but hayley, josh, jeremy and zach, if you reach this, i want to meet you. please. i've been listening to your music since i was sec 2. 2004. its too bad you're so mainstream over here now.

lets see, saturday's gig was alright, thanks aris, wes etc for coming. i really appreciate it.
sunday's gig was totally terrible. demoralizing man. i swear, jc kids do not know how to organize shows.
firstly, they dont even keep to the schedule. the first band was supposed to play at like, 7pm, but they dragged on till like what, 8pm. and by the time the second band played, it was already almost 9. and what made it worse, is that raffles hotel had to complain. that comes to my second point. they dont know how to choose a good venue. i mean sure, the place looks neat, awesome view, awesome atmosphere. but thats pretty much what you want for an acoustic set, not a full band right? the place is small, i dont blame it, it contributes to the coziness of the place, but guess what, these jc kids had to sell tickets to almost 500 people? its so stuffy till you cant even enjoy the music. you'd probably feel people breathing down your neck every few seconds. no wait, thats not all, its an open air area, and raffles' hotel is just opposite it. obviously they'd complain. these jc kids dont even know how to liaise with them and tell them look, i've got this event and they're gonna make noises so are you okay with it? but come to think of it, raffles hotel would obviously say no. so why hold the event there anyway!
to top everything off, they even got a fked up soundman. when i first saw the amps, i really thought it would be an awesome show. i mean its caracal's tagrider. but wow. the soundman didnt do justice to the amps and the bands at all. ugh. i bet i can do better even though i havent learn sound engineering. at least i know how bands want to sound.

hopefully this saturday's gig at ngee ann will be better. actually i know it will be. no gig will be as bad as sunday's gig, ever.

i dislike how people always support cover bands more. its like even if they cover an awesome song, its not cause they are good. i mean okay you have to be of a certain standard to cover certain bands but what i mean is after all a band writes their own songs and comes out with their own album right? so after all if you think about it, those bands whom you think are good cause they played your favourite song by lets say, paramore, well, they are just good in playing those chords and singing those notes that paramore constructed. you're not really, a musician i guess? haha okay that sounded kinda crude to all aspiring musicians, but yeah. i dont know how else to explain myself. not that im good. im just saying. ugh. okay nevermind i shall delete this part next time. if you understand then you're awesome. ha.

on a better note, school was alright today. creative storytelling was quite funny, i love the lecturer. japanese was quite fun. but i think i'd fail this subject. dont know how im going to memorise all the words and stuff like that. and theres this role play/skit assignment. in front of the whole class. i gotta speak in japanese. and i dont know more than half of these people. what thaf.

everyones taking pictures with vignetting nowadays. damnit. i cant wait to send my current roll in for developing. but its gonna cost me $11.70 again. shitz.

i guess life is all about money aint it? you study to work and work to earn money. im sure everyone knows what im talking about. if only money didnt exist. it sucks knowing that you only have (this) amount of money in your wallet and you cant buy anything even if you're hungry or thirsty. i wonder what its like to be rich. Like really rich. and they say money's not everything. haha. i dont get it. wouldnt life be easier and much more fulfilling if you have money to get anything you want.

okay i officially cant blog with the music on. its too distracting.

well today's jamming was awesome. come to think of it, i love jamming. except the fact that i have to pay for it. but it definately is worth the money im paying. seriously. the studio is full of memories. and full of emotions. i cant imagine what it'd be if scapestudios closed. all those late nights in the studio. the familiar smell of scape, all those song writing sessions and all those times when we quarrelled with each other in there. but what i really look forward to every single time i jam is the fun we have. seriously, the laughter and everything, it really makes me really, really happy. thinking about it just gives me this warm feeling. my god, my post is kinda corny. but it really is true. ha, i didnt even plan to talk about this. i just keep typing. anyway, back the point. yeah jamming is awesome. its the best thing ever.

its too bad i live in singapore. its hard to pursue your dreams here. especially cause of things like national service and stuff like that. and all the hate/support you get from your friends. like, i dont think anyone would take you seriously when you say, 'oh im in a band'. its just the way it is. but i really want to make this my career.
i've been thinking. i've only one life. and i'd seriously leave behind everything i have now just to pursue that dream. i dont want to regret when im thirty and have a family. but oh well, lets look at reality. my parents would definately not agree, and i dont have the money to go overseas plus i still have to study. haha. anyway the plan now for me is just to save up the pay from NS, though its damn little and then my whole band will go play some shows in the US or sth. hopefully we'd be recognised. the people reading this post would probably be secretly laughing right about now. haha, im not going to let anyone or anything get in my way.

im feeling really lucky right now. i cant imagine what my life would be right now if i didnt get into saint gabriels and i didnt meet my bestest of best friends there and form this band. i'd probably end up to be some ahbeng, and my life would just get screwed. thank you saf, leon, bong zach.

im glad i went away for one week on the Hong Kong trip. you'd know how much you've been missed and how important you are. right now i dont feel invisible like i do sometimes. i cant really explain how i feel in words right now. haha.

okay this is a moderately wordy/emotional post. i dont think anyone would read the whole thing anyway. well after all, i guess for me, a blog is just some place to rant. i seriously cant wait for tomorrow's jamming and the gigs on saturday and sunday. i've been watching quite a number of live videos to hype me up. haha. hopefully it'd be one helluva show.

faith.

One group photo, and two pictures that i took. Lazy to upload all. haha.

finally updating. i was procrastinating because i was lazy to blog about Hong Kong. So yeah. I cant really explain how Hong Kong went. There were ups and downs in the trips, forunately more ups. I shant go into details. Too lazy.

I want Hong Kong weather. I want some Hong Kong food. I want Hong Kong shops.

I realise that most blogs only have like a few sentences and the rest of the post are made up of pictures. If there are a lot of words on that post, it'd most probably an emo post whining about life or bitching about someone. hahah.

Anyway, gig coming up on Saturday and Sunday!
Details:
- Saturday 31st May, $12 @ Homeclub w
- Sunday 1st June $16 presale and $20 at door @ Loof (Odeon Towers)

Please support.

pachuca.

Death of an interior decorator.

YES. After today i'll be so awesome. I'm so looking forward to the gig on friday then i've gotta start packing my luggage. I have this feeling that i'll forget to bring something.

I've been getting weird random dreams lately. Haha. Its gotta be the result of stress. Parents are also annoying me about the hong kong trip. Even after a long day they can still ask me stupid questions. Mum/Dad, if you ever happen to read my blog, hahaha im sorry if i was ever rude and i still love you.

Dinner was, kinda funny, aaron's point about lesbians is so true, maybe they should reflect upon themselves. Okay, i take that back, i'll probably offend people. But then again, who reads my blog anyway. I can count the number of people with my fingers. Ha. Anyway, back to the subject of dinner. You know, I cant believe i paid $4 for a plate of plain white rice and five pieces of disgusting pork meat and a leaf of lettuce. Okay, it wasnt that disgusting. But it was almost like the worst meal i've ever had. Haha. Never follow what larry orders. Its gonna suck.
I've been eating irregular retarded meals lately. And come to think of it, i havent felt really hungry in quite a while. I just eat when everyone else does.

Oh yeah, i also went for the student ambassadors interview today. It was really, should i say, lame? Then again every kind of interview is lame. Its not like im dying to join SA. They asked questions like, 'describe yourself'. Questions that really made me look dumb. Describe myself. 'Hmm. What shall i say, oh yeah, im really into this SA stuff. Yeah, accept me, im so good.' They'd probably do a blog search too and find out about this person who wants to join SA and read my post and see that im a sacarstic bastard and not accept me. Hah, what the hell. I really dont know how anyone can describe themselves, really. I mean, its not not like our life is a mirror. What i mean is i guess people know you better than yourself? Haha. Okay im weird.

Work is calling yet again, how interesting, thats all i do, everyday. I dont even have time on weekdays to hang out, yeah, ask me about me, My life is lyrical. I wish.

I am so much more

2008-05-14T00:11:00.000+08:00

I dont want to do my work. I just want to sleep. Its hard to decide which one is more important. Haha.

School's being a bitch. Hi Moses, if you read this, the school block system sucks. Seriously.
Plus I've thought about it, and i think its so true, that going to school is a place where i'll get judged again. On normal school days after i wake up and bathe i'll stand in front of the mirror and just know that i'm going to be judged again in school by almost everyone, and so i have to take note of what im wearing, how i look and all that nonsense. Then I'll look into my cupboard and stare at it for about five minutes, going through my clothes one by one, eventually going back to the first one and thinking, 'thats what i wore last week'. The solution to this problem is probably either stop being so self conscious or start buying more stuff. But money is also a problem. A problem leads to another problems. Life is full of problems. Haha. But oh well, after all, the first impression counts right? Even Moses prefers his students not wearing slippers. Everything around us is so superficial. I cant say that im not. Everyone is. Haha. But its this thats making it hard to get by, and it doesnt really help when most of my other friends in school are people who have normal self esteem. Haha. Maybe a little higher.

Anyway, I am NOT being emo. Im just thinking about the facts of life. I repeat: I AM NOT BEING EMO. haha.

just before judge me, think again, cause i am so much more.

Message to the world.

I cant believe i've got a new blog. hahaha. I bet this will be dead after a few days. But anyway thanks to mus for helping me think of a random address for my blog, and wan ting for helping me do the stupid template. Okay not that she did the template but just told me how to solve some html problems. Haha. I almost died while going through the many twitty and pinkish gay templates on blogskins. Haha.

School's retarded. I dont know how i'm going to finish my 3D work. Lucky that the other subject isnt that bad. And i swear Wenchong should get some singing lessons. Ha. Sorry dude.

To week: Quickly get me to saturday.

Four more day to an awesome week. Cant wait to get there.
