My weekend was screwed. Sometimes things are really ironic. Those once cocky people used to boast how well they would do for 'O' levels yet when the results came out, they actually go around crying out their woes, seeking sympathy and attention from everyone.

There is another group that genuinely deserves sympathy and consolation because these are the ones that really put in the effort, however they didn't made it. Perhaps its a slight errata or carelessness on their part or perhaps they were weak in a particular subject. Either way, they failed. So I did my best make them feel better, finding alternatives for them in a bid to help them move on; along with me. The irony part is they wanna move on to a poly yet they don't wanna bother appealing. Why, you may ask. Simply because they don't wanna lose face for fear that they might be rejected. To top it all, they claimed that the poly(s) would throw them in the worst courses. They did not even try to appeal. Total bullshit. I detest people who give up. I'm like totally abhor them.

Here I am doing my best to pull them back to their feet yet there they are giving up on themselves, allowing themselves to delve deeper into oblivion. Retards. Nevertheless, I'm not gonna stop here. Guess I'll just continue to make her feel better.

Sarah, I don't want to see you give up.

This morning I awoke with feelings of nostalgia as I switched on my old Nokia 6680 and read my inbox. It consisted of messages from various individuals including many ex steads, lost friends and most importantly, loved ones.

I found out there were many many more messages saved in my memory card when I opened it.

There were so many folders inside, Li Ting (ex aiai) - 76 msg, Adriana (meimei) - 538 msg, Bernice (ex aiai) - 959 msg, Ashley Nicole Kelly (ex aiai) - 714 msg, Ying Ying (zhu ren) - 804 msg, Yi Wen (admirer) - 3181 msg, Janice (jie) - 1464 and Xin Ni (1st & best aiai) - 37348 msg. These were only some of the seperated sms folders. My inbox had like around 7220 messages which includes sms received from all other people. Looking through all these messages really brings back nostalgic feelings. All my received messages works like a milestone, collating the memories and events of my school life as well as love life.

Ups and downs, excited moments, happiness as well as sadness; everything. My phone describes it all. Yet now I have to delete every single trace of it. The phone that once acted as a medium to jolt my memory back would cease to exist. I'm selling it off, along with all the memories that came with it. Perhaps this is a good thing. No longer would I have to look through it and feel sad all of a sudden. But then again, it also meant that I would lose the chance to re-read those happy times. So.. is it boon or a bane?

52304 [fifty two thousand three hundred and four] messages is being deleted right now.
I wonder how long it would take.


91 hours 57 minutes 32 seconds of outgoing calls, 660 hours 31 minutes 39 seconds of incoming.
Total call duration: 752 hours, 29 minutes, 11 seconds.


Good bye messages, good bye phone, good bye memories . . .

Mike - Yo! I'm doing VERY well. ^_^

Hamster (meimei) - Results all liao but still ok ok ma! (:

Ying Ying - Says you? But it isn't!

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

I donned my school uniform for the last time and made my way to school. Unfortunately, I could not locate my school shoes; probably burnt or thrown away. Lol.

I made my way to school, blasting my mp3 at the highest volume and was prevented from entering the school cos I wore black shoes. Well.. I called Mr Chua and he said that I was allowed to enter so I simply jumped into school. Lol.

The atmosphere was extremely intense, there were students trembling, students who clenched their fist tight and even students who cried. There were also people who went into an anger fit as well as people who went totally emo.

I only shared my results with one person, Sherman (Lim) kor. For those who are curious or rather, kaypo, dont bother. I'm not gonna tell you. Its for me to know and for you to find out. But I did do pretty well. :P The only sad thing was that I did not get the grades that I want for English. It seems as thought I scored lousier for my better subjects and better for my weaker subjects. Kind of disappointing about the supposedly "swap of subject points". I wanted A1 for English! *sigh* However, overall I'm really really HAPPY!

I was excited, really really REALLY excited about getting the results and Miss Ang was there questioning me, Miss Soh gave me this weird expression. Lol.

Mr Lim was the best, he told me my results straight even before I got there. Hahaha. And while I was in the hall, I received many calls and sms while I was in the hall. Totally flooded?

After that Sherman (Klyne) kor, Gabriel and I went to celebrate at Plaza Singapura. We watched Cloverfield which was equally boring as hanging out with them. Perhaps they aren't in the mood thus they were boring to hang out with, but I'm in the mood! That should be all that matters right? Somehow going to the movies with guys seemed so weird. -.-

After movies, we ate Ichiban Sushi, my treat cos they were whining about the expensive prices. Naturally I went broke after that. And Sherman (Klyne) kor followed me to Funan Mall to buy another earpiece. Gabriel went home. Hmm.. a green earpiece. Cool! It adds to my collection. Lol.

Well, that's that for today. Sorry I didn't blog these few days. There were many many happenings in my life but I was too busy.

I'm listening to "No More Words" from Inuyasha, sung by Ayumi Hamasaki. I've been rather down these few days and at the same time, tired. Perhaps its the smses I've received or perhaps its the things that people say. Either way, it affected me. Well.. enough of those dumb shits.

Last friday I rushed to Bartley from my work place and Sunarto actually waited for me at the bus stop, sweet friend huh? More surprises awaited me as I saw Florence there and learned that Chloe was coming as well. It felt really nice being back in Bartley again, watching my juniors grow. The current sec 4s once looked so nerdy with their foreheads-sticking-out-hairstyles and their specs-lying-on-nose face, but now they looked so different. Some wore shorter skirts, ankle socks and they rebond their already straight fringe. Lol. Oh well. Changes happens.

I'm listening to "No Way To Say" by Ayumi Hamasaki.

I grabbed a trumpet and played alongside Hwee Ling & Eudora. I thought Hwee Ling was being kind when she noted to me the part where they were playing, but I soon found out that it was only because she wanted me to take over so she could rest. Lol. Typical. I did enjoyed it though and blasted over me as adrenaline seem to flow throughout me all the time.

I'm listening to "Powder Snow" by Ayumi Hamasaki.

After the entire CCA open house, I took the sec 5 & alumnis squad and sorta tortured them. Drilling them from end to end of the parade square, yelling out all the different commands, ensuring that they turn in all possible directions.

I'm listening to "Rainbow" by Ayumi Hamasaki.

Miss Anne gave me her ticket for Kashiwa Municipa High School Symphonic Band and Casebella handed hers to me too. So I ended up with two tickets. Justin and I took bus 70 to Esplanade where Mr Leng gave me yet another ticket. The tickets costed $29 so its like, $87 worth of tickets. Too bad I couldn't sell the other two. :P

I'm listening to "Scar" by Ayumi Hamasaki.

We sat at the 4th level and the concert was totally fabulous. They had different gimmicks for different pieces. And guess what? Their band had 200 members+ . That is like WOAH, they have more members then my NCO Band Major band. In addition, they played one sound. Totally cool. They were so well disciplined and everything was so amazing. I know they've done this same performance before in other places but their discipline and sound is really amazing. And then I saw Yukiko Okumura when she turned her head upwards. I'm not sure if its her but it looked like her. The first time they did their formations and all, her head flew upwards but didn't notice me. Consecutively she noticed and I swore she gave me a wink. Actually, I don't really know her but Xin Ni do and thus that's how I knew her. During the concert, you can actually feel your chair vibrating; - the result of only 5 tubas and2 string bass. Their band also had 27 trumpeters and 27 trombonists, says a lot doesn't it?

They ended by playing Singapore's Home, sung by Kit Chan and they played their Japanese version called Furusato. The hall lights went off, some of their members sat on the edge of stage, holding a bar of candle light starting to move with the music. Ground audiences were given green light sticks, a few joined the sticks to form a straight long line followed by multiple 'Kallang' waves.

Audiences at the top took out their hand phones with lights on and started swaying it. It seemed really romantic, a bit of the National Day feel, except in an air-conditioned area with no network access to create disturbance.

The concert was simply breath taking. If only I could upload the pics to my pc.. but I can't.

I'm listen to "Teddy Bear" by Ayumi Hamasaki.

Well for weekdays I had to work. Today was one of those typical work days. But I managed to slip off to Sim Lim to collect one of my CPU(s) and also, I bought a new laser printer, all using my mother's credit card. =p

I sort of turned into a 'frog' cos Priscilla kissed me. Lol. And she wanted me to ask Sharon for a kiss to 'turn me back'. Dots. Okay just some random 21st century fairytale.

This morning Chiu Yen mentioned about some promise on Valentine's day but the amount of hinting she gave didn't help me to recall anything. Aww.. I left out a promise.

I'm listening to "To Be (Eurobeat Mix)" by Ayumi Hamasaki.

I happened to gaze into Cheery's eyes and immediately I had a strong feeling that she pregnant and she admitted that she was indeed. I was totally shocked. I never thought she'd be pregnant, then she said it was an accident. Oh well.. I can only wish her the best.

I'm listening to "Trauma" by Ayumi Hamasaki.

Wonders of wonders. For those who striving hard to get steads, my advice is to just sit back and relax, regardless of whether you're a boy or a girl. For the girls, you don't have to do anything, boys will definitely ask you for stead. And for the boys, this applies to you as well; for in this new era, girls will strive for their happiness which means that they'll ask you for stead if they like you. So.. since the majority always do the approaching work, I recommend the few people who visit my blog to be the minority, that is to wait for others to approach; unless of course you found the one you really like. Relationships needn't be a thing of worry.

For now, I feel like being single. Possibly not for long; that I do not know. But for the time being, yes, single. Sorry Yi Wen and maybe, Sharon too.

PS: If you're wondering why I managed to listen to so many songs in between my paragraphs, its because I'm chatting with multiple people while blogging. Thus, it effectively affected my completion rate.

Yesterday was mummy's birthday. Was she surprised when I brought out the cake? She was! Her eye sparkled with glee when she saw the cake and presents.

I got her a fruit cake filled with kiwi, mango, strawberry, longan and cherry; but no durian! :P

Both dad and mum actually liked the cake, and for the first time too. Because it wasn't 'sweet' at all, but she thought that I was sweet. Lol.

Yesterday we had KFC and today we had home cooked fried chicken. Hope that tomorrow there won't be any more chickens.

Well.. today really stink. Most of the calls I received were agents from other company, pretending to be customers and enquiring on our low prices. I am so pissed off. Its such a long process to check prices, and at the end of the day, the callers are either agents or customers who just ask for fun. Total waste of my time. Damn!

One good news though, I got a new hand phone! Sony Ericsson W910i. Not exactly new because my mum got it from my dad and I got it from my mum. But heck, at least its a change.

Hmm.. I'm tired. And I found out that Ying Ying can only sleep soundly if I miss her. xD

Such an unearthly hour to blog isn't it? And no.. I didn't wake up specially for this. I'm was in my office since 5am+ and now I finally got some free time till 9am. So, its blogging time! (:

Today is mummy's birthday and the first thing she said when I woke up wasn't "good morning". Instead, it was "where is my present?!"

Gee.. demanding mother. And her next phrase was "faster go bathe" . How cool.

I already prepared her present, but I placed in the other office; for now. Gonna go retrieve it later! I wonder how my day would be.


















Yong Joon was born an egoist and he abhorred having to admit defeat. Optimistic was his word. Perfection was the thing he worshiped. Even in midst of greatest fears, he would still give in his best shot and triumph over them. However, no one is perfect and neither was he. YJ realized he had to contain his temperamental anger. And thus, ever since the age of 13, he has been practicing just that. At the age 15, he finally conquered it. But still he wasn't perfect, for he had many more weakness. That was him.

Balestier to Toa Payoh to China Town to Little India to Funan to Mustafa and back to Balestier. that was my entire cycling journey. Wei Wei and I sped along the road as if we were riding motorcycles, endangering our lifes like 99% of the time.

There were many minor accidents. I was speeding when I almost hit an uncle but I dodge swirve a little to the right, just I hit him and it scared the shit out of him.

We also sped on the road along Bugis area where it was uber congested and my bike slammed right into Wei Wei's one cos the break wasn't working. Both of us were fine so we continued, and on our way to Mustafa, I fell of my bike while trying to avoid 2 pedestrians. 1 ang moh and 1 old bangala. I was speeding when they suddenly move positions and I almost rammed into them. To avoid collision, I had to swirve my bike to the right and to the left. Due to that sudden motion, I lost control and my bike skidded across the floor. Damn. It was raining heavily and the brakes weren't working, that's why the accident occured.

That resulted in my torn shirt, injured elbow and injured here and there. So I covered my front with my bag and we sped to Mustafa to get me a new change of clothes, before returning to Balestier again. Gee, the shirts at Mustafa really seemed like bangala shirts. I'm not trying to be a racist but that is the fact.

I had an unlucky day with many mishaps. My day was also one of coincidence. I met Mei Shan, Gwendoline (Tan), Jeanette as well as Dion. Its like so uncanningly uncanny. Met Mei Shan on at City Hall, met Gwendoline when I got on a bus, met Dion at I don't remember where and saw Jeanette at Toa Payoh.

Well.. enough of uncanningly uncanny coincidence. After work, Cheery and Wei Wei accompanied me to buy present for my mother's birthday, due tomorrow. I pondered for a long time and eventually decided to get her chicken essence. And guess what? I wrapped it all by myself! I managed to complete the wrapping process.. however, the entire project was somewhat.. a fail. And we all know why.. ... ... because the wrapping was done by me. -.-

Okay! Skip to dinner part. For this meal, we pondered for a long long time. We were deciding whether to eat at a restaurant, fast food, food court or hawker centre. In lieu of that, we also killed many brain cells deciding on the kind of food to eat; french, chinese, western, japanese, italian. Many varieties huh to choose from huh? So after the demise of a like a hundred million brain cells, we finally settled for 'Koufu', and stopped killing our brain cells.

Done with dinner ,I took the train and guess what? I missed two trains because it was full. What the heck. I'm only at Toa Payoh and I can't get a train back home! The next resort, taxi. And that's why I'm here to blog.

Good night all.

Some angel up there kept poking me while I was sleeping! As a result of that, I now carry heavy eye bags and the lack of sleep rendered me high fatigue levels. #$@*!$#@!^%

Barbeque at 11am till night. How radical is this?

My pit was at Braddell Hills. That place was breezy and cozy. Moreover, it was also very peaceful and quiet. Perfect place for retirement.

I started the fire, creating 3 pyramids and eventually combining them. The fire was soon ready and we started cooking. :D

There was all sorts of Otah. The typical Singapore Otah, Muar's Otah and Sheng Shiong frozen Otah. Then there were chicken wings, cheese dogs, pork dogs, hot dogs, chicken dogs, sausage dogs. Orange sweet potatoes, yellow sweet potatoes, potato chips. Sliced meats in different beings-flavours;- pork, chicken, etc. There was also beehoon, noodles and kwayteow. And many more.

For drinks, we had all the assorted flavours of F&N, orange, blastz, zappel, fruitade, grape, cherry and so on. Yeo's brand we had grass jelly, soya bean and green tea. There was also peach tea, 100 plus, mountain dew, miranda grape and gee.. simply too many.

Why am I going into details? Oh anyway. That's all I had on New Year's day. Sounds boring? Yah, I thought so too.

31 December 2007, my countdown was spent at Trinity.

Trinity was so packed such that almost all carparks around it were full. In addition every single level was full too. Even at level 4, The Chapel was full. So we had to use the Hall instead.

In the Hall, I saw Clarice, Ivan, Junnie and a few others whose name I do not know. We sang, cheered and simply just celebrate the arrival of Year 2008.

I was having fun, but amidst that, horror emerged. The reason was Eunice. I never expected her to be there, and in the Hall too. Such coincidence is simply uncanny. Fortunately she didn't notice me, lest she would definitely had made a huge fuss.

Year 2008 is a New Beginning and there is where I shall start from, with everything restored and renewed.

Have you guys done your New Year's resolution yet? Let me know about yours and I just might post it up here. (:
