At a certain lift

B: "Oh ....i did........did......and in between when i rmb i mark GP scripts"
A: "Have u finished marking them?"
B: "A bit more left...U noe...I cld've finished them...But they were so substandard that i had to take breaks in btwn to recharge..."

{exits from lift}

Hmms....interesting convo me n my fren overheard ya....well actually not delibrately overheard...juz happen to be there n they were talking so loudly...Hais...there goes our GP...I guess we juz hav to pray hard those 2 arent J1 tutors.....

Lol, I'm not scolding anybody here. It's just that Yixuan (my neighbour) told me a joke and I thought that the title was quite appropriate. By the way, I modfified the joke because I thought that the original one wasn't like funny enough.

Tom kept a female dog in his house. He had bought the dog 10 years ago since it was a puppy and now the dog was getting pretty feeble. However, this dog was smart and thought of a good plan to make sure that Tom would never abandon it. Thus, one day the dog bit Tom and in the process, left a gory mess in place of Tom's arm and a big hole in his bone. Tom then chucked the dog out.

Guess what the dog said? It said, '你这个狼心狗肺 (pun intended) 的东西，怎么忍心把我丢出去? 我已经有了你的骨肉!' Ok, you can start laughing now. Haha.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Da da da da da da, da da da, hey Jude...

I suddenly felt like listening to this song...haha...phang...dedicated to u manz :P:P....n to all reading the blog...HAPPY MUGGING FOR CTS! =X

Haha I can totally see Linus the nosey-parker taking out his notepad to scribble down details now, no doubt thanks to this provocative title.

Anyway, I got my first kiss yesterday. ( =) ) It was spontaneous and totally out of the blue. I mean, the minute I stepped into the door I received this wonderful surprise. Ok, so maybe the scene wasn't like exactly damn romantic, with books cluttered all over the floor and people making hell lot of noise in the background. Yah and ok, so maybe it was like just a quick peck on the lips but so what, a kiss is still a kiss.

Haha, you must be wondering who this female is. Well, it was Dimitri's dog. (=/ ) The stupid pooch just jumped straight up and smack into me when I opened the door, taking me by surprise and with no chance to defend myself from this treacherous fry. Then the dog just like kept licking everyone, depositing its saliva onto people's legs and so on. Totally uncalled for but never mind because I think I kind of like dogs now, haha.

Speaking of dogs, I think that if I were a dog, I would probably be a Jack Russell. I mean, that dog is basically a walking furball of energy. Lol, it's small, vivacious and barks as bad as it bites. But then again, that's not the point is it? The point is what I was doing at Dimitri's house.

It turned out that Isaac was feeling reminiscent of old times and basically decided to organise some primary 6 class gathering at Dimitri's house. Dimtri, Tze Siong, Tian Mun, Jeremy, Weng Woh, Ryan, Isaac, Jun Ying, Sophia, Melinda, Jessica, Claire , Zhi En, Emma and myself turned up. That adds up to 15 out of 44. Quite a ----- amount. (fill in the blank with whatever you want) Tan Lian Eng came with 2 pizzas later, yah and I realized how different I perceive her now. Last time she was like this towering figure of menace and malice but now, she just seems plain nice and kind. Haha, I guess it's because we've all grown up from the HPPS days, where the teacher was king (or queen) and we were just like subjects.

Anyway, I was getting damn bored like after just 5 minutes so I sms-ed Daphne, who was doing something that I should have been doing but wasn't - studying. The poor girl is like damn stressed over her CTs that she's not been her usual happy self, so Daphne, cheer up ok? ( =) ) Ok, so after like 1 hour spent doing zilch, I finally decided to start fiddling with the PS2, although I liked none of the games there, primarily because I didn't win. Then Jeremy started feeling spastic and decided to watch American Pie : Band Camp, which is this hilarious show that also has plenty of sexual references. Maybe it was fate but the disc crashed halfway so they switched to watching Fearless, which is one of the most screwed-up movies I've ever watched. Basically the only plot is violence and the rule of thumb is the more violence the better.

Ok, there's really nothing else of interest anymore to write, so I would like to end off by saying that the referee in the Ghana-USA match was a bloody idiot. USA's goal was superb, with Beasley outpacing 3 defenders and bursting into the box to send a superb curling centre that beat like 2 or 3 defenders for Dempsey to volley home. And like a few minutes after that, Mr Pimpong fell like a ton of bricks for no reason in the penalty box and Mr Merk awarded a penalty! Ok, I realize that I'm getting too worked up over this match for no reason, since I support neither the USA nor Ghana. Just in case you didn't know, I support Ivory Coast but since they are out, (undeservedly I might add) I've decided to support the Red Devils. No you noobs, I don't mean those clowns masquerading as champions in England but rather, the Koreans. As Ye Jie said, we should support the underdogs. (He supports Switzerland by the way) So I suppose you know who has to go out in Group G besides Togo. Yup, it's Les Miserables.

Heh, here's a warning in advance. This is going to be a crap-free, joke-free and wit-free entry and believe me, it's nothing I like. (or we like for that matter) I'm listening to '安静' by Jay Chou on repeat as I type this, so I guess you can figure out where this is heading.

Oh well, it turns out my sixth sense served me well till today. It's been fairly accurate save for certain occasions and even then, the consequences of failed judgement were minimal. Heh, well I suppose it's partly my fault because I assumed and as Long Kuan likes to say, when you assume you make an ass out of u and me. This time though, the only fool worse for the wear from this encounter is myself.

Clouded by false hopes, I should have known that the heavy thunderstorms this morning and yesterday morning were probably a reflection of what was going to happen but I chose to ignore them. Deluded by the prospect of fairer days, I bumbled along haplessly like a cretin, at least for yesterday. Ignorance is bliss I suppose, and to tell the truth I was fairly happy yesterday, especially in the afternoon and early evening. Yeah, I really felt that the pool games yesterday were the most enjoyable, not because of the games but because of the company. I also have to say that although I sounded grouchy and all that while chatting on the phone last night, the truth was that I was real happy, just that I didn't dare to show it.

Heh, that's why I was so quiet today, especially from halfway through Vadi's makeup lesson onwards. I just want to say sorry to all those people who like waved and smiled to me and whom I ignored, like Daphne, who got a stoned silence in response to her two hellos. It's not that I don't like you guys (or girls) but I was just feeling like pretty moody and didn't feel like talking crap and stuff like that. I know it's pretty useless of me not to be able to concentrate on both the Econs and Maths makeup lessons today but I guess that's just me I guess, not strong enough to cope with such situations.

I really owe Ming Sing a big thank you here because he specially took time off just to like meet me at Khatib for lunch/ tea and to hear me out. Yeah, even though he laced his words with insults as usual, I know that he really meant well underneath all that. Heh, despite all his evil comments, he's still there for me when I need him and I really appreciate that. I hate to admit it but I suppose he's right as usual, that I'm just too childish. Also got to apologize to Mervin for cancelling our study session last minute but I really was in no mood to study.

Hah, I suppose that this is really more than doing something for the sake of doing it or attempting to chalk up another victory over your friend in this area. It's much more than this but sad to say, I don't think I understand it now. Anyway, it's not your fault, so don't blame yourself ok? Since you've made the choice, stick to it and don't regret it. ( =) ) Yeah, well I suppose it's no point forcing you to do something that you don't want, so you might as well decide what's best for everybody in the long run. It hurts now but I'm sure it'll hurt more if you tell me even later. Hah, thanks for the happy memories anyway, even though they were so short. Good luck to you. There's really a lot more I want to say but I can't think of how to express my feelings now, so yeah, I guess that's all I have to say.

Haha I had big plans for today. But as you all know, the bigger your plan, the bigger the loophole. And this loophole was so big the rope fell through and ended up in a dead knot. Anyway, my whole day was infused with the guilt which comes from leaving your lecture notes in an untouched pile when you know common test is arriving.

I hitched a ride from Marcus's father off to my ex-tution teacher's house today for some sort of gathering. Turns out that she has a dog, a terrier I think. Lol, the bugger was quite funny, except when he excreted on the carpet, which didn't go too well with my ex-teacher. Anyway, I decided that it was time to start on Alkenes but my Alkenes notes didn't think it was time for me to start on them, so it gave me a hard time and well, I lost the battle.

Then later, two other students came (I don't even know their names until now but whatever) and started like making dumplings, which were supposed to be for dinner. Yah, basically everybody but Marcus and me had a hand in creating the gastronomic delights. I have no idea how they did it but they made over like 200, which we obviously couldn't finish.

Thus, the day ended. Hoho.

Lol, I realized that I haven't blogged for a long time. Well, that's because I've been preoccupied with other matters and in case you're wondering, only a small portion of them are academic. Haha, even my tution teacher says I give her stress. Anyway, I've been feeling depressed lately and if it weren't for my bestest friends like Ming Sing and Mervin, I'd probably have broken down already. Yup, so a big thanks to all of them. =)

Anyway, I'm not going to veer away from narrative writing and return to my discursive style yet because some things have got on my nerves recently. Yah, there are some things in life which try as hard as you may, you just can't win. Imagine you are playing pool with a free ball and the black ball situated very close to the hole. You take the shot and lo behold, the hole disappears!

It's not like I haven't tried (ok I admit the effort I put in was quite little but many a penny makes a pound so there you have it) but everything I tried didn't work out. I'm using Zapdos to battle and the opponent is Sandshrew. All my Thundershocks, Thunders and electric attacks don't work (assume that Zapdos only has electric moves) even though they are supposedly powerful. Why? It's because Sandshrew is ground type and ground type Pokemon are resistant to electric moves. Now, you might as me to try new tactics and change Zapdos with say, a water type Pokemon. Haha but guess what? Sandshrew actually used Mean Look before that, which means that I can't change Zapdos! Now all I can do is watch Sandshrew take out Zapdos little by little. (I'm assuming that Sandshrew has other types of attacks besides ground attacks because Zapdos is part flying and flying is resistant to ground moves)

You get my point. Sometimes you just can't win.

一个像夏天一个像秋天 by 范玮琪



第一次见面看你不太顺眼
谁知道后来关系那么密切
我们一个像夏天一个像秋天
却总能把冬天变成了春天
你拖我离开一场爱的风雪
我背你逃出一次梦的断裂
遇见一个人然后生命全改变
原来不是恋爱才有的情节
如果不是你我不会相信
朋友比情人还死心塌地
就算我忙恋爱
把你冷冻结冰
你也不会恨我
只是骂我几句
如果不是你我不会确定
朋友比情人更懂得倾听
我的弦外之音
我的有口无心
我离不开darling更离不开你
你了解我所有得意的东西
才常泼我冷水怕我忘形
你知道我所有丢脸的事情
却为我的美好形象保密

Well for those who dun understand chinese...Song title translated directly to english would be One like Summer the other like Winter.This song basically means that there are 2 very close buddies who have very different personalities and didnt really like each other when they first met but ironically became very good friends la haha and reason i posted this set of lyrics up here is that this is a SUPERBLY apt song to describe my two best friends Phang and Ming Sing...Poles apart in personality but somehow haha 关系那么密切...found the last 4 lines especially interesting and phang should noe why coz ming sing and i are keeping some of his darkest secrets close to our hearts...dun worry phang we wun breathe a word :P:P

This blog has been rather dead. Coz i had been rather busy and phang was preoccupied with personal matters recently so no mood to blog i guess haha.

Great Singapore Sale

Very happy coz phang and i have fulfilled a portion of our unlimited wants using our limited resources aka money. Great Singapore Sale wasnt as great as i thought though. Some discounts arent really very attractive. Price is still way too steep for poor JC students like us {sobs} But but but i stil got this fabulous shirt that i saw at Lawman...Well...it's one of the two more formal shirts that i have in my closet right now...Ya i noe sad right only one other formal shirt that i bought b4 grad dinner last yr..phang got his too...but he took 96 hrs more to decide which is basically 4 days later...indecisive chap haha

Band A Tempo

Another memorable concert...More prepared...more practised but less audience as compared to Play! but hav to say this concert is of a much much higher standard than play....was very happy with my performance...although the spotlight was very glaring and hot....Well done band! :D

World Cup
Well i expected it to be greater than Great singapore sale but it was rather disappointing too...Mainly cos i dun hav SCV at home mah hais...same for phang la...but he's luckier coz his neighbour has it...haha. But i managed to grab 3 matches so far la....Went to Y L's hse to watch England Sweden and Argentina's matches...marathon la...but couldnt tahan thru Argentina so went to sleep la...

Yups so that's all from me la

Ok...I havent blogged for quite long...Well june hols have been quite busy with band practs and PW but somehow i still weaselled out some time out of my pathetic life to watch this new taiwanese drama serial... 爱杀17(Bump Off Lover)...it's supposed to be an idol drama so i was kinda apprehensive when my sis told me it was nice....But it turned out so interesting and exciting that i stayed up till 2+ am to watch it on youtube...Just couldnt stop.

Well...story begins with this rather well-to-do family...Dad's a famous contractor...Mum's a school principal...N what's an idol drama without the youngsters....So there's these pair of twins acted by Angela Zhang Shao Han...1 person acted as 2 roles....her acting was quite good for a singer though...at least she portrayed the drastic differences in the twins....

Twins apparently fought at a poolside when they were six and fell in...Twin A developed asthma while Twin B had since became hydrophobic aka scared of water...So after a series of unfortunate events....Twin A was "killed" when she got pushed down one of the buildings in school and number one suspect was a CHEM TEACHER...number two was her classmate who was madly in love with her...

So police started investigating and of course the Twin B would hav to start investigating on her own with her few kakis....if not no plot right...Den she discovers some very dark secrets about her twin that she never knew about and also some secrets about her parents that tormented her so much....

Plot was exciting and there were thousands of very very unexpected twists throughout the whole 14 episodes....i shant reveal too much as i suppose the series will be arriving in singapore 1/2 to 1 yr later as it always will....All i can say....Good guys turn out bad n bad guys actually turn out to be victims of some form...Kept me glued to the computer for such a long period of time....

Well an interesting concept is that each episode begins with an overall theme which brings to us flashbacks by the dead twin....about her horrible childhood...her distorted mindset and the reasons about why she turned out "her" way....jealousy hypocrisy hatred prejudice fear...Twists and turns and twists and turns....juz when u think u noe who's the real murderer....u realize u are mislead...OMG! So nice thatt i sacrificed one week of my hols to watch it...***** 5 stars! Though youtube's vid quality sucks but good plot + good themes + passable acting = BEST idol drama i have ever since it started....

So...Yups...Alot of very memorable lines from the movie is very reflective of real life adults...how they think how they do things and what matters most to them....some are still ringing in my head now...

Ok....so with the end of the drama serial i believe it marks the start of my mugging for my chem retest two days later :S

In case you are wondering why the heck I named this post 'The Anchorage', it's because the place that most of the focal stuff happened was there. Yah, I mean today was like how exciting. PW meeting at 8:45 at Guan Koon's house. (he lives in The Anchorage, in case you haven't deduced it yet) I was kind of late, yah so if any of my PW group mates are reading this, I just want to apologize for that.

Anyway, we came up with the survey questions first. After that, they were feeling kind of hungry, so we went to the IKEA cafe to eat. The Swedish meatballs there are first-class! Freaking nice to eat, especially with the sauce and sweet thingy with berries inside! ( =) ) I should have ordered 15 instead of 10 but Guan Koon said that 15 would be too much... Apparently he was wrong but never mind about that. Then we went back and sort of came up with interview questions before we started getting distracted. Then Guan Koon started playing some really old game on his laptop, Derrick startted fiddling with the guitar and Ann started to stare blankly into space. That lasted for 30 minutes, until Guan Koon brought us all down.

If you think that my post is going to end here, you're wrong. Haha. That's because I told Weng Woh, my long-lost friend from HPPS, that I was 4 storeys below his house and so we started playing pool at the clubhouse before going to Anchorpoint to eat at Delifrance. Yah basically we started talking about old times, reminiscing about the days when going to Jelita was illegal and when the class was split into the cool, average and uncool cliques. We even talked about how we engaged in friendly rivalry over our ex-classmates affections, which we both found pretty childish and immature now but anyway, it made good memories. We talked from like 2 to 5, so I ran out of saliva and my throat was quite dry but still, when do you get the chance to meet up with old friends?

Yah, so basically I killed two birds with one stone today so it was quite a nice day for me, except for the fact that it started raining not long after Ann's prediction that storm clouds were gathering and the earth would receive water from the sky. The downfall kind of ruined my plans for football but then again, you can't always have your cake and eat it, can you?
