My Dear we're slow dancing in a burning room	Monday, June 30, 2008, 5:39 PM When you look you see right through me Alright so i havent been blogging as much as i used to, nor have i really bothered to put much effort into spazzing up my posts very much. But i guess its prolly cos ive been really busy these past few days or so and ive spent alot of it studying and revising. yea i think it finally hit me that my O levels are too near. So its time i got serious about my work. Pfft, i sound like my mother. Anyways, didnt do much on the weekends other than study and sing and indulge in my usual instruments. Today, i had my chinese O levels oral. And well, if theyve ever invented a grade lower than an F9, they'll prolly award it to me for this one. So no i didnt exactly do very well. The passage was great, for the first 3 lines. Then i paused and realised that i didnt know how to read anything after those 3 lines. I think it was something about an elephant. Like, the elephant's abilities. pfft, knowing my chinese standard, i wont be surprised if it really was about global warming. And the conversational topics, tsk, i asked that idiot woman to repeat herself 3 times before i understood her. A rat's fart is louder than her voice. Jeez, and she's prolly from some godforsaken province in china where they eat shrimp soup and idolise robocop. And the other examiner just smiled and looked at me as if i was from special needs class. So, i clearly had no idea what the conversational topic was about, so i just blurted on saying that i felt that whatever it was wasnt good. She then realised i was pulling all that outta my ass, so she re-phrased the topic in simple chinese for me to understand. I got it. Or so i thought. I thought it was about teenagers hiding drugs in their bags and what not. It turned out to be about shopkeepers dumping rubbish outside their shops. Hey hey, A1, here i come. So i walked out of the room with my eyes tightly sealed, hoping to smash through the glass and kill myself. Had a short band meeting after that, and we've decided on the name drunk pie. Or dope disc. Yea theyre dumb, but we couldnt come up with anything better that we could all agree on. Headed home soon after. I went to borders yesterday to grab tess gerritsen's Bloodstream. I maintain that she's one of the best writers ive ever seen in my entire life. So if you like reading and have an IQ of above 5, do check out tess gerritsen's works. I cant wait for the Os to be over. You've no idea. Dinner's being served and i dont wanna miss my food. I'll seeyuh when i seeyuh. ao Friday, June 27, 2008, 10:49 PM Here comes to water to wash away the sins of you and i Amiel: Medicine Amiel, medicine. :) haha he doesnt have a record label or something you know! haha AH? Liz: aw i love you too. haha yes the pink candy cane-ish over revealing shirt. :p cwl: haha NOOOO i wasnt! Ra-el : haha prelims man, prelims. Not actual Os. I'd commit suicide if i did. Shafi: haha ahh man, you guys went the other day? mm next time then :) Victor: haha leona lewis! She's awesome. :) thanks victor, its my pleasure to have done so. :D Jiyin: hey hey heyyyy! :D No problemo at all dearie, we'll go get coffee soon and pour our hearts out k! :D Randall: haha wait till you get to sec four. You're gonna pray for holidays. :) Kat: hahaha thanks for providing the video :) oh my, haha he was pretty hunky in his days. But them days are long gone. :p Audre: haha yea i know! :p Alright the last 2 days have been so boring,school school and more school. Went to J8 with pereira and eugene for lunch cos pereira had a rugby interview for his DSA at RJ. he got it, so congrats pereira. I dont know why i went there cos its like, a thousand miles away from my house, so going back was gonna be a problem. But i noticed that bus 55 went straight to my place when looking at the map, just at that moment, bus 55 arrived at the station, so i thought, what the heck right? The map's idiotproof. Pfft. Turns out, i got on the bus on the wrong direction, going away from my house instead of towards it. So after awhile, i realised i was going the wrong direction, so i got off the bust at the next stop to cross the road to take 55 from there, but it wasnt an ordinary road, it was a mini hill plus many things. So i kinda got lost. I found myself in Bishan industrial park. All i saw were warehouses. I walked all over the place trying to find the other side of the road, but in the end i just gave up and cabbed home. My wallet protested much, but it was hot and i needed a shower. Got home and studied for the rest of the night. Like, wow. Today was a total waste of time in school, we didnt have physics cos of an overload of announcements, english was bong, we watched a movie for Lit, PE was torture, and the last 4 periods of the day was maths, we spent it doing,rather trying to do, an amaths paper since mr mak wasnt in class. So thats like, the whole day of school. Pfft. Went up to sheila's room after school for a meeting with the comm, when halfway through, i get a call from barney asking me to get to the aesthetics room as fast as i can. The only way i knew how to move fast down the stairs was the lift. So when i got there, they said their band needed a lead singer for this year's battle of the bands and they wanted me to sing. So i tried out a couple songs that they played and well, i got the job. So im gonna be singing for barney's band in this year's battle of the bands. Whoohoo. After jamming for a while more, i headed back up for the meeting. Usual stuff. And, i dont think ive ever seen this before in my life, but when i looked at Gou's phone, i noticed that it was exceptionally buldged, i realised that his phone battery was literally bloated. Like, expanded till it actually poked out of the phone. That cant be good. But he says "its quite cool." Oh yes. A phone on the verge of explosion, no thanks gou. And then i noticed another witty technological wonder of Gou's. His earphones. Notice how he listens to them outside of his ears instead of inside. Mm it must be some kind of new earphones where you dont have to put them in your ear. clap clap. After that, grabbed dinner at the cafe, ate quickly and rushed home, showered and changed then headed down to the esplanade to meet chris and samantha to watch bboyz and ballerinas. The show started at 8. They arrived at 815. And they wouldnt let us in until 825. We missed the first act. Sigh. And i thought i was late when i arrived at 7 45. pfft. But anyway, it was an alright show, no dialogue whatsoever, just dance dance and more dance. Some of the dances were pretty good, but it was more towards a korean style of hip hop. Ah well. Chris' mom gave me a lift home after that. Sigh. Its friday, one week of school has just gone by and i didnt even feel it, hopefully it all goes by this fast and this year will be over. No more O levels, no more stress, no more suicidal angst, what could be better? vader's coming for torture tuition first thing in the morning tommorrow, id best try and get some sleep. Seeyuh. ao Tuesday, June 24, 2008, 6:28 PM Too much love will kill you everytime Yesterday was pretty much alright. Everyone in class was exactly the same. Same nonsensical childishness which gets everyone laughing, same stress, same twitching teacher. Wasnt as bad as i expected. After school, headed down to parkway with wengs to get some stuff for Liz. She was feeling all stressed out over stuff so i thought id be a good cousin to try and cheer her up. Got an assortment of stuffs from all over the place and i cant say what i got her cos she doesnt know just yet. On the way to parkway, somehow my ipod earphones went completely bust and the right earphone was giving me a totally distorted and grungy sound, so i decided to get new pairs. Weng brought me to some tech place where they had good earphones and i got a pair of red cube ones. Looks pretty cool, sound quality isnt as good as the ipod ones though. So after getting all the stuff i needed, me and weng decided to go to borders to chill for a bit. He doesnt really read so he hung around the music section mooching off the sample music, while i went on a hunt for tess gerritsen books. I found a few, but my wallet didnt agree with the price since the whole Liz thing stumped my budget for the rest of the week, but they didnt have the book i wanted. Gah. Then weng got bored of sampling the music so he came looking for me and we both walked around aimlessly doing nothing. Suddenly, out of the corner of weng's eye, he caught a glimpse of a book that only he would read. It was titled "Nude art". Sigh. It was all wrapped up and stuff but he wanted to open it. I pretended not to know him. But slowly, he pryed the plastic wrapping off the book. Then he pulled me to a corner to go read it. I took a big book of basketball history to hide the nude art book in and he went all gaga. Sigh. Well done, Weng. We left the place after he satisfied his nude art pleasures and headed back to the tech shop to check out the macbooks. Gosh theyre beautiful, sensational, magnificent, and stupendous! I wish i could get one someday. maybe i'll save up. pfft, not that my savings is going very well, ive now got 55 cents in my savings box in my room. Well, thats 20 cents more than the last time. Go me. Then cabbed back and dropped him off at katong mall for his tuition. i headed home and tried to nap for abit, but i couldnt sleep. Gah i wish i didnt have this sleeping issue. I wanted to cab to Liz's place to drop off my surprise gift but my mom was being all hissy and wouldnt let me leave the house. Thats why till now she hasnt received it. Thankfully, mom's gonna deliver it to her house tonight, i just hope she doesnt get there at some unearthly hour of the night. Today, i woke up with a slight headache, quite tolerable and i wouldve normally went to school. But. I dunno why, but i just felt so miserable and tired, so i went back to sleep and didnt go to school. I woke up at 9 and was halfway through breakfast when i started thinking and asking myself if i was missing anything important today. Then, it hit me. Today, i had my english oral exams. Tsk. I almost choked on my cereal. I had completely forgotten! But, i called up the school and they let me re-take it tommorrow. Phew. Mom forced to bring me to the docs even though i felt perfectly fine, and the doctor said so too, in fact he didnt prescribe me anything. He just told me to get some rest cos he said i havent been sleeping. Which is true. But its not my fault my insomnia period is at a high. So i came back, and studied cos i felt guilty for not going to school just cos of a mild headache. I learnt more than i probably would have in school anyway. You know, i realised that from this point on, im not gonna have any relaxation time until the stupid Os are over, shite. That sucks. I swear when all this O level bull is over, im gonna take a plane to miami and bitch slap every damn person i see just cos im happy. Pfft. My phone's being a bitch and not vibrating. Its only lighting up telling me ive got a message or a call but its not vibrating. yes it sounds wrong. grr. Stupid phone. Sigh, vader's coming for tuition in a bit and ive gotta go finish up the rest of his headache homework. I'll seeyuh when i seeyuh. ao ps Liz is gonna kill me for posting this, but i find it particularly funny. You're exactly my brand of heroin says: I'LL STAB MEN You're exactly my brand of heroin says: STAB STAB STAB STAB STAB Oh yes Liz, stab stab stab. (this is like the kind of rehibilitation they do at some place where people with issues go to.) Monday, June 23, 2008, 12:40 AM That's all Its 12:41 am. 41 minutes into doomsday. All over the land, feelings of anger and sadness erupt from every last student, lying on their beds trying to sleep and re-adjust their sleep times back to earthly hours of the night. Some throwing frustrated fits at random objects around them, others succumbing to the dreadful fact. In our minds, drums are sounding off, its as if we're all going to war. Our faces thick with paint, weapons at the ready, minds ablaze and ready to take on the beast that lies ahead. Yes. Its that time of the year again. The holidays have ended. And now, we resume our usual dismay, frustration, and stress. May God have mercy on our souls. Im sorry that was unnecessarily deep. But yes, i cant get to sleep. Dad asked me to go and play for his band again today, his lead singer was tired and didnt want to sing so i ended up taking over again. other than that and me picking up an un-plugged ibanez acoustic and strumming along to all the songs following by ear, didnt do much. But it was fun as always. I have this sudden urge to go to amazon.com and buy books. Books that are imposible to find in Singapore, like Tess gerritson books. Just finished reading her book "the mephisto club". Its really awesome. Sigh. Michael buble's that's all is on replay, i just downed 2 glasses of warm milk, stared directly into the fan for 3 minutes to dry up my eyes and make them tired, but im nowhere near tired. Someone shoot me. ao Saturday, June 21, 2008, 10:03 PM We'll take it back to the start Yesterday, got up extra early at 9 to meet Amiel and a few others to jam. We couldnt think of any other place so we decided to go to school and use Sheila's room. Thankfully she was in school for meetings and could open her room for us. It was really last minutes to very few people showed up. I called Ish in the morning and made him come over just for kicks. So i brought my guitar and Amiel brought his, and we jammed. Pfft, sounds kinda weird when i say that, we jammed. Hmm. Then, Gou joined us at around 11 with Justin and we jammed some more. Only Amiel and me were jamming, the rest just walked around the room completely bored. Sheila popped by every now and then to see us, then she had to go back to her oh so boring staff meetings. We played until 12 then decided we needed lunch, there wasnt any better place to eat besides the cafe,we wanted waffletown but were too lazy to cross the road. Go us. So we ate in the cafe. I ordered the chicken chop. Why the hell did i order the chicken chop? last time i ordered it, it was all dry and stale with no more gravy (last time it was served with gravy) so last 3 times i ordered it, i realy regretted it. I specifically remember reminding myself to remember not to order it again. But yesterday, i ordered it again. Sigh. The cafe's stabdards are seriously dropping. Theyre even hiring complete idiots for their counter guys now. This conversation took place in the cafe, at the counter. me: Can i have a chicken chop please? (something i was seriously going to regret. yuck.) Idiot man: ah? Me: Urm, chicken chop. Idiot man: ah? Me: Chi-C-K-en Ch-O-P! Idiot man: ah chicken chop. ah? Me: Yes yes chicken chop. Idiot man: Chicken chop ah ok. Me: Alright, chicken chop. (he takes the menu and slowly looks for the word "chicken chop" when its written on the wall -"Chicken chop - $5.50". So after searching for like, 5 minutes, he finally said) Idiot man: ah ok chicken chop, $5.50. Me: Yes i know. Can i also have a grape? i point to the drink machine Idiot man: ah? Me: sigh. Grape. Idiot man:ah? Me: Urm, groovy grape. grape. Idiot man: ah? now, at this point, me, Amiel and goutham were pretty much puzzled and just staring at mr. Ah over there. So then he(like the idiot he is) started pointing out at every single drink on the machine asking me which one was grape in the only language he knows how. Idiot man: (points to the coke) Ah? me: nope. Idiot man: (points to the barley) Ah? Me: sigh, nope. Idiot man: (points to the ice lemon tea very conveniently skipping the grape which was in between barley and ice lemon tea) Ah? Me: No the one next to it. Idiot man: (points to barley again) Ah? Me: NO HERE! Idiot man: (finally points to the groovy grape) Ah? Me: yes. grape. Idiot man: Oh this is grape. Me in my head : no no no you dipshit its rootbeer. Me: yes, thats grape. Then, the real horror came. He needed to calculate the total cost. The drink cost a dollar and the chicken shit cost 5.50. He took out a pen and paper and started calculating in the way they teach you in primary school. I shit you not. I mean, cmon, 1+5. How hard can it be. After another 5 long minutes, he finally tabulated the final cost. Pfft. By this time, everyone around me was staring at him, even the chefs (who had long ago prepared the chicken chop). That entire episode took like, 15 minutes. But, when Amiel ordered his food, Mr. Ah didnt say one word of "ah". He could hear him perfectly fine. He's either selectively deaf or racist against fat people. Tsk. Idiot. And he was like a thousand years old. He's probably been around since the dawn of time. gah. So after lunch, we headed back up to jam some more, Ishaan left us cos he had things to do. Sheila then sent me a message asking me to bail her out of her meetings by saying that we needed to talk to her about something. So me and Gou went to do just that. Kenny then joined us a while later and we did stupid stuffs. Played with the wheel chair, sprayed paint on the rock, threw things at the fan (i hope sheila doesnt see this). We got really tired and bored so we decided to leave shortly after 4. They all went home, broke and tired. i however was still full of energy, and not that broke, yet. So i cabbed home, quickly showered and changed, then bused down to marina to meet ling and all for dinner. Sigh. I swear, we just cant make up our minds. Its chaos. We first decided to eat at sakae, but the buffet was over so we couldnt eat there cos they were all broke to the core, then we decided to go to the cafe cartel to eat, but everyone was so hesitent even though it was in their budget range. So i thought ok how bout changing appetites. We went there, checked out the menu, and again they were all hesitant and didnt make up their minds. We then went to look at every single restaurant there was available at marina, each time coming up with an excuse to not eat at that place, either being too expensive or too low class. We circled marina square about 3 times and still hadn't make up our minds. We ended up back at the cafe cartel after all that hustle. And then cam Gerald's genius plan. Gerald: Ok i know, very simple, you want cheap but not low class right? Why dont just go to kopitiam, ta pao, then come to swensens inside and eat. Everyone : HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA. Yea thats great gerald. You do that. After 50 minutes of doing absolutely nothing but walking, we all settled on subway. It was within their budgets, and it wasnt low class. Of course we took abother 30 minutes to find it. Sigh. Bused home after that and reached home just in time before mom got back. Whew. Today, had to get up super early again at 8 cos darth vader was coming to teach me. Sigh, i was so incredibly tired i couldnt keep my eyes open. Literally. I was closing my eyes and doing physics. I even fell asleep for 5 minutes without him knowing, but you know his dark side force powers allow him to detect these things. I was jolted awake and reprimanded at how close my O levels are. I swear, when the O levels are over, words cannot describe how not-pissed i will be. Feli messaged me and told me she couldnt make it for tuition(which was just after vader's). That woke me up instantly and made me pretty happy. yay! I mean, oh no. So i went back to sleep after he left. Woke up for lunch, then read a book for awhile. Then, i dont know why, but i went to cut my hair at parkway. Mom forced me. My usual gay barber at supercuts wasnt there and the Que was annoyingly long, so i had to go to the barbers next door. tsk. After coming outta there which cost me 32 bucks, i look like freaking winnie the pooh with this hair. Gah. Some china dude cut my hair and he didnt know what he was doing. great. It'll take ages to grow back. Anyways, came home and cooked myself dinner after grocery shopping. Then i went to play the piano and guitar and what not. Sigh. Thats pretty much it, now its the end of the holidays. Scares me to think how quickly that went by, 4 weeks is gone just like that. And i did do quite a bit of work and all, but not as much as i should have, heck im still here blogging about my life when i should be mugging my large arse off. But nyehhhh somehow, i just dont care all that much yet. Besides, slow good progress is better than rushed hectic progress right? From this point on, its gonna be hell in school. Its gonna be hell everywhere until this O level shit ends. Gah. Someone please, shoot me. Im going back to my guitar to sing the last songs of my saturday now. I might even do some work. pfft. who am i kidding. Seeyuh. ao [EDIT] Its 230 am right now and i cant sleep. So i thought why not make somebody a star. We're gonna take a look at my friend Ben. Just a brief history, Ben was my backstage manager at the calling, he's very responsible and diligent in his work, kind and loving, Ben is always there to lend a hand, a top achiever in his fields of work and study and id love to continue on with his list of achievements but unfortunately, Ben wont say anything else to me cos he suspected that im blogging about him. Well done, Ben. But anyway, he was the head prefect, top scorer la dee daa and is now a part time teacher at ACS itl jakarta. He's been many things, a police officer and what not, but recently, he went over to Jakarta to teach there, of course he's not a qualified teacher, but id say he makes a good one. This, ladies and gentlemen, is Ben Ho. Oh yes, strike that pretty flower pose for the camera Ben. So anyway, jakarta changed ben truckloads, he started talking to alot of the school girls there and he told me a while back that they were hot. Ben Ho is in Jakarta. I AM IN ACS (INTERNATIONAL) JAKARTA !!! Grades 10, 11, 12. IGSCE, AS/A2 Level. says: they are damn good looking for ur info Ben Ho is in Jakarta. I AM IN ACS (INTERNATIONAL) JAKARTA !!! Grades 10, 11, 12. IGSCE, AS/A2 Level.says: and they are like mixed blood or somehting So there ya go, Ben thinks these school gals are hot. Which is something that normally does not come out of him cos he's oh so innocent. But today, Ben stands strong as an official pimp. But you'd never guess it. Look. With an e-mail with the names mickeymouse and acs in it, who'd ever guess? And with a profile picture like that, come on he looks like an ordinary 20 something guy who may or may not be high on crack. But, dwell deeper into the mind of Ben ho, and you'll get this. At this point of time, his display picture was of him and a girl in a low cut dress and large badonkeys hanging over his shoulder. Oh yes, Ben's become a horndog. There were other moments in which his raging hormones were showing themselves, but there are too many to capture them all. He's even going clubbing now. I asked him where he found all the chicks. And he had this to say. ao says: where'd you find them! Ben Ho is back in Singapore finally. I will miss ACS Jakarta & Jakarta forever dong! says: kemang raya ao says: and whats that?! ao says: a pimp school? Ben Ho is back in Singapore finally. I will miss ACS Jakarta & Jakarta forever dong! says: this whole road full of clubs Clubs huh Ben. And then i asked him where all those younger girls came from, and he told me not all of them were from the school. Pfft thats great Ben, thats totally not disturbing that you flirted with young girls who were not from the school you were working in. Ben Ho is back in Singapore finally. I will miss ACS Jakarta & Jakarta forever dong! says: i met these kids....elsewhere Ben Ho is back in Singapore finally. I will miss ACS Jakarta & Jakarta forever dong! says: hahhahaha ao says: haha says: oh ao says: OHH ao says: like ao says: a brothel? Ben Ho is back in Singapore finally. I will miss ACS Jakarta & Jakarta forever dong! says: the whole of jakarta are filled with CHICKS Whoa there, easy on the chicks Benny. He then procceded to send me this picture. Awesome Ben, Awesome. After really intelligently revealing all this information to me, he then realised that i was planning on putting him on my blog. And he immediately changed his display picture to this. Mm oh yea Ben, go head put a picture of Mr ng and Mr Sim as your display picture. Like that'll change any suspicions of mine. =) Pfft, well done ben, well done. Anyways, welcome back to Singapore, and i hope you stay here forever and never leave for that chick place again. Its now 3am and i think i should maybe try giving the thought of giving the chance of the thought of trying to go to sleep a chance. gah,shoot me. [END of another EDIT] Thursday, June 19, 2008, 8:39 PM The show must go on amiel: haha dont remind me. :p Samuel: haha where's the one i took of Lionel and zt? hehe yes man you're damn pro. Joyce: haha that's great. Thanks? Audre: gasp! She does? Awesome! She should come see my dad's band and me play, we play loads of deep purple songs, ask her if she knows black night! haha you were? Oh man, well you lost all that weight. :D Liz: :D yes i love you too. munky: haha yay thanks! mm i should draw one for your mom for her birthday or something haha. yea she's always sleeping in class isnt she? :p After a very, very long and delayed time, i finally went to watch indiana jones today at vivo with mom. And it wasnt as bad as i expected, it was actually pretty good. Harrison Ford's a little outta breath from all that stunts, but he did a good job considering he's my dad's age. if you havent caught it by now (which i highly doubt so) i suggest you go catch it. After the movie, i had this sudden dire urge to watch the previous Indiana jones movies. I went to good ol page one to check it out, but they were out of stock. I settled on buying the book series instead. After satisfying that urge, another dire urge hit me. I needed candy. I havent had any candy for so long so i figured having a little today wouldnt hurt. After all, i have been exercising. No really i have. tsk. So i went to candy empire. And you know that feeling you get when you just feel so at home and so happy, like, an itch that has been itching for hours and you not being able to scratch it cos you're paralised, then when your paralysis episode is over and you relieve that itch, you know that feeling? Well, walking into candy empire today, i was overwhelmed with that feeling. Candy everywhere, candy as far as my eyes could see. People started staring at me cos i just walked around aimlessly in the shop for a good 15 minutes. I left the place with a small bottle of jelly beans, a voodoo bar, and those delicious cow biscuits. Headed to parkway soon after to get a new fridge. Cos this morning, my beloved fridge that has stored my beautiful food for 14 years of my life just broke down. So i had to go buy a new one. Which can only be delivered next week. Fantastic. How am i gonna survive a week without a fridge? My mom should of thought of that before accepting the terms. Sigh. I got the new gatsby deoderent from watsons today, the one where in the ad, the guy practically empties an entire bottle of the deodorent onto his body while having an orgasm while doing so. pfft. Its actually pretty good. Came home for dinner and that pretty much ends this boring day and this boring post. Im gonna go enjoy my jelly beans now. I leave you now with a conversation with Liz last night on the phone. Seeyuh. liz: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (screams. Very, very loudly) Me: (thinking someone had just stabbed her or something) what what what what what?!?! Are you ok?! What?! Liz: Ew its an insect. Im gonna go wash my hands. Pfft. Clap clap. ao [EDIT] mm alright, the following video is courtesy of Kat. Just another weird arse video that weird arse people make. Let me just warn you, while watching this 2 minute long video, i was quite paralysed in bewilderment. Its a video of 3 people (or so they look like people) doing their own little version of Justin Timberlake's sexyback. There's a harpist, an opera singer and a beatboxer. Tsk. What genre is that? Post street modern opera?! They have succesfully and completely murdered that song. I used to be a fan of sexyback. But theyve just made sexy go back where it came from. Congrats douschebags, you made sexy leave. The harpist looks deprived. The operatic singer looks like she just had her lungs filled with poison gas and is screaming for help. And the beatboxer looks like he's suffering from severe musco-vasculour spasmistic disorder with a yeast infection. tsk. The info says "classically redone". Pfft, try classically re-killed. Notice how somewhere through the video, a man comes out in a bikini and starts dancing around the camera. The hell is this? Its bad enough theyve made my ears bleed, but now theyre targeting my eyes too? Eureka! that bikini dude has successfully cured men of all masterbatory issues. pfft. Shoot me. [end of edit] Tuesday, June 17, 2008, 10:31 PM Complainte de la butte Today was one hell of an exercise for me. Im surprised im not lying flat on my back, broken down, piss tired and flat out of my mind. Im quite the opposite and i feel fine. Sam chew woke me up at around 9:50 reminding me that i was meeting him at 9:30 to go to kallang's cage. So i was a little bit late yes. I rushed a shower and headed down to meet him at the bus stop where we caught 16 down to kallang's macs where everyone else was meeting us for breakfast. There, chiam, gary, amraesh, glascow, fried were waiting for us in macs while ZT was taking a nice long piss in the toilet with chiam's psp. Tsk. Lord knows what else he did in there. We ate up to energize then waited for ZT to finish his business, whatever it may have been, then we walked to the cage. ZT believes that he has an exceptionaly huge stroke of bad luck today cos he almost got injured 5 times. I almost tripped him on a wire, a bee almost flew straight into his face, a car almost rammed him down, and the soccer ball nearly squared him in the face twice. Woops. Chee and weng long joined us after a bit. Cage was alright, apart from the fact that we had to pass through that really tight female reproductive organ looking flap which led to the cage which smells like the sweat of a thousand asswipes. Ernest and eug joined us about an hour later. Halfway through playing, the most amazing thing happened. The most amazing goal i have ever seen was scored. So there i was, passing the ball over to Sam chew, things were heating up, time seemed to slow as sam ran with such passion and dedication with the ball, skillfully guiding the ball with his swift feet, dodging left and right avoiding all the defenders of the other team, his face full of fury and adrenaline, he locked back his knee in preperation for the kick, time stopped as his knee swung back forward at full fury head on for the ball, sitting dead on the ground, and then, sudden death. As his ankles made contact with the ball, it flew with such amazing speed and power towards the goal, chee was gaurding it, face contorted in a concentrated manner, the ball flying towards him at full force, chee lost his balance and tripped back and the ball slammed straight into his hands which was pushing out to find his balance, while doing this, chee's arm powers slammed the ball dead centre, no powerful kick could withstand this, the ball absorbed the force full on and doubled back, flying straight back at sam. Time now really seemed to slow as people around him anticipated what was going to happen. The ball flew back twice the speed, and twice the force and squared sam straight in the eye, he fell back in cries of pain, disbelief and plain stupidity. He lay on the floor, both hands cupping his face in the usual soccer star ouch-my-leg-got-injured-yet-im-clutching-my-face kind of pose while roars of laughter erupted from all corners of the soccer cage. Me, including a few others around me also fell back in laughter. I swear, that, was the most, amazing shot, i have ever seen, in my entire pathetic existance here on happy little planet earth. Congratulations on your soccer career Sam. Why dont you DSA into sports school through soccer? Im sure you'd make the star player of the soccer team. clap. clap. clap. here's our beloved hero now, washing his eye with cold water which was extremely red. I tried to get a better shot but he merely shoved me away giving me the finger. You know these high celebrity types, never giving proper picture poses. Played till about 2 when Liz called me to remind me that i was supposed to gym with her and chris today. Changed out of my sweat clothes and cabbed down to tampinies sports complex which cost a bomb. After alot of miscommunication and bad direction giving, i finally made my way to the gym. The gym's on the second floor which is accessible from outside the entrance but not from inside. I didnt know this, so i entered the place paying a fee of $1.50. When they told me i didnt need to go into the place to get to the gym, i had to get out of the place. So i thought maybe i could get a refund, after all i was only inside the place for 42 seconds. So i asked the ticket lady. me: Excuse me, can i get a refund? Ive only been here for less than a minutes, you saw me go in just now didnt you? Ticket lady: ah ah okay, yah yah over there. (she pointed over there) me: I can get a refund over there? Ticket lady: yah yah over there. I didnt quite know where "over there" was so i just stood in front of her looking bewildered. She then repeated "yah yah over there". This time she specifically pointed out where "over there was". Turns out, "over there" was the exit. Exits dont give refunds. It was just a silly machine that said exit. So i thought what the heck, it was only a dollar fifty. Left the place wasting $1.50 when i didnt even explore the place, then headed to the gym where i found chris and liz doing 60 push ups. I joined them and worked out for a bit doing gyming stuff which gyming people do. Halfway through my crunches i had a cramp on my knee and on my stomach. So, i didnt quite know where to shout for help from since both places hurt equally bad. I just squirmed. Chris and Liz just continued their work outs. Thanks guys. Next time im dying, please, hesitate to help me. Suffered till about 4 where we decided we really needed food cos none of us had lunch. Walked to tampinies mall to find sakae sushi, but they were under renovation. =( Dammit all. We settled on pizza hut after much discussion. Now, i dont have a very good relationship with pizza hut after all their nonsence with the delivery and what not, but theyre not so bad when you're ordering straight from the place. You know that Liz has a love of cheese. But you have not seen love like i know it. She put cheese on everything. Everything. This is the soup, or rather, this was the soup. And this is the pizza. I thought to myself, how bad can it be? So i decided to give it a shot with the whole cheese thing. I should've known better, after Liz prooved that her sense of taste was so amazing when she put potato and garlic chowder into my perfectly fine pasta the last time she came over. Gah. It tastes urm,fantastic Liz. well done. It really is delicious. Chris and i watched in disbelief as the cheese monster ate up her cheese food. So then, we mucked around for a bit doing nothing, then decided to go to Liz's place. We cabbed there, and i had no music. :( This morning, i turned on my i-pod and the battery was dead flat, which is really weird cos it was full last night. must be something wrong with it. So i had no music today cos my ipod was being a bitch. Reached her house where they showered and i was too caught up playing the piano to do the same. Liz's little sister, Vanessa, was really fascinated with me playing the piano and made me play all the scores she had. Which i did with amazingly slow pacing cos i am horrible at reading notes and sight reading. I was always more of a listener rather than a reader of notes. Chris and Liz took like a thousand pictures together, aww. I would love to post them, but its all on Liz's phone and she's not back yet. Silly me forgot to bring my camera. Ive only got a couple photos. So stand back. They put a hairband on me while i ws playing. Thanks guys. This is me attempting to teach Liz how to play Rihanna's unfaithful. Notice how im using the one finger method to play cos thats the only way she knows how to play. She's a urm, a very good, pianist. Cough cough cough cough cough. Excuse me, i have a cough. This is the only shot ive got on my phone with all of us. I tried to smile. pfft. I'll post the other pictures up when Liz gets back. Anyway, after that, we watched a bit of moulin rogue. Liz didnt sing this time (thank you God) so my ears are ok. She realised she was supposed to meet Duncan at 730 when it was already 735. So it was a mad rush. More running and speeding out of her house and catching a cab to downtown east for her to meet Duncan. I dunno why chris and me followed her. She made us go. But we couldnt stay to watch the move with her. yea great, we're chaperones now. So the happy couple scooted off to watch the happening. For about 3 minutes, me and chris tried to stalk them. But as you can most probably tell by now, i dont blend in very well with the crowd. They spotted us in less than 12 seconds. Whups. Mom picked me up and gave chris a lift home. And now im home. and im hungry. gah. I'm going to find food for dinner now. I'll be seeing you. ao [Edit] Im back with pictures. Squashed One of the above thinks she is fat, the other one is fat. aww. oolala oh no its a monster lick rockstarsss hug and kiss the panda why not. Ride on the panda? This is abusive. how this shot came about, me and chris were acting all hip hop-ish. Then, Liz: eh eh do that yoyo pose again i'll take a picture. pfft. a yoyo pose. Spectacular. yea chris just butt in. Alright. Thats all folks. Seeyuh. [ End of Edit] ps, chris wants me to add that Liz changed in front of him. Aw Liz and Chris. Aww. Monday, June 16, 2008, 8:51 PM An intelligent conversation Me: Im going to play cage tomorrow. (a few hours ater) Liz: You're going to play soccer tomorrow? Me: yea of course. Liz: Oh i thought you're going wrestling. Me: what?? Liz: you know in wrestling they got the cage and people wrestle inside it or something. clap clap clap. She just sang to me on the phone, excuse me while i bring my ears to the doctors for a checkup. Seeyuh. ao Sunday, June 15, 2008, 9:46 PM Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky. Yesterday, caught the happening in the night with mom. We intended to watch the 740 show, but my mom bought tickets for the 950 show. We walked into the theatre with out 950 tickets for the 740 show, we realised other people were in our seats. Its then when we realised we got the wrong tickets. Just then, the ushers came in and made a big fuss over everything. Pfft. So we went out of the cinema and had to walk around vivo for 2 hours holding our popcorn looking like complete idiots. I went into pageone to get a couple books. And im quite surprised at their range of book choices. I expected them to be some low class book store which didnt have much. But i was wrong. Plus, they even had the moulin rogue dvd which i got cos i just needed to watch it again. Also got the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind dvd. Stocked up on my usual magazines, and for the first time in a long while, i managed to get the new yorker. Straight from new york, new york. I miss reading the new yorker. Also got a couple of colourful pens for my notes. Then headed off for the movie 2 hours later. Ive always liked M night shamylan's films cos of their hidden menaings and metaphors, and this one didnt dissapoint me. I thought it would be some hauntingly scary show, but it was more philosophical then horror. Went home shortly after 12. Today, i was exceptionally hungry when i woke up, thank goodness mom got home with breakfast just in time before i ate my table. Studied for a bit, then Dad asked me to play for his band today in their practices, so i complied. Followed him to his golf club's music room to jam with his band. Theyre all a bunch of old farts, but these old farts have got one hell of a love for music, and theyre extremely modern old farts. Theyre Gods in the music world. Seriously. Dad's lead guitarist plays like santanna, his bassist is the best ive ever seen, and ive never seen a better pianist then the one playing for him before. He can turn any song into any style into any key. And dad of course is the best drummer i know. All 5 of them can all play the drums, guitar and piano too. (except for the bassist who can play all 4) If that isnt talent, i dunno what is. Their singer was down with laryngitis, so he asked me to sing for them. They were practicing for a gig they have next week, i wasnt really used to all the eric clapton type of songs in their first set, but when they played their second set, i couldnt stop singing. Their second set consisted of Queen, AC/DC, guns n roses and the rolling stones songs, which i absolutely love. Dad had only this to say. Dad: i didnt know you could sing this well son. Me: :) Dad: Maybe i'll get you to sing for us permanently, would you like that? Me: Sure, id love to. Dad: But you must be able to sing our type of songs you know, do you know smoke on the water? All those deep purple songs, led zepplin all those. Me: Of course i know them. And yes i can sing them too. But you have to get me a strat first before i sing for your band. A look of panic then streaked accross his face and i heard him asking his lead guitarist if he had any extra strats to sell at a lower price. Pfft. This is one of uncle Ron's (the lead guitarist) strats that he brought over. I'll murder to get that guitar. gah. Uncle Ron even let me play it. It was beautiful. The distortion is wicked. Dad's pianist(who owns a record company) offered me a contract. He was probably kidding. But ah well, jokes have to have some sort of motive. I hope. Stardom, here i come. Im gonna go watch moulin rogue for the 28730408th time now. I'll be seeing you. ao Friday, June 13, 2008, 4:44 PM Give me just one night in the name of love Insane. These 2 days have been insane. Popped over to Liz's house last night around 8 cos she randomly asked me to go over. So i went over, mucked around and did nothing for awhile, then we started getting to work on piggy. (its a long story why Liz is giving a piggy bank to Duncan) We put our plans and colour scheme designs into thought and finally settled on a candy cane colour with an old english font for Duncan's name. So we got to work on that. After awhile,her mom negotiated with my mom for abit and finally let me stay over. So we used the computer for awhile trying to find a nice font for Duncan's name. My usual font source was being a bitch and wouldnt display the previews properly so we had a slight problem. We did that till about midnight when i decided to scare her into watching ghost hunters. But after 2 minutes of watching the show, she got so scared and wouldnt let go of me. Tsk. So i let her watch an episode of my little pony. Which is sickeningly giddily happy, but quite addictive. Then, she told me the bravest thing ever. Liz: Ok let's turn off the lights? Me: Are you sure? Liz: yea. Go go, turn them off. Smarrrt Liz. She'll get scared if some random person walked into a room with a t shirt that says "boo, baby im a ghost" and probably wont sleep for a couple days, and she wanted to watch ghost hunters in the dark, which is what i did 2 nights ago and scared myself silly. So yes, we proceded on to watch a few episodes of ghost hunters (bless you, youtube). She turned on the lights after a few episodes cos she claimed she "needed light to paint piggy". pfft, yea right, she was scared silly. :) We wanted to order some macs cos we were hungry but decided to wait till 4 am when breakfast was available then eat. Soon after 2 am, we were too hungry so headed down to her kitchen to raid it for food. She heated up some quiche in the oven (she knows how to press like, one button) but over did it and the plastic that contained the quiches started melting. And the alluminium cup that was holding the quiche melted and formed a hole at the bottom. Intelligence 101. We headed up after the quiche was finished bringing some snacks upstairs. She showered while i worked on piggy a bit more, touching up on some areas. She wanted to powernap for 10 minutes soon after coming out of the shower, but she only did so for 38 seconds and she woke up. Well done Liz. We went back to the comp to go look for more cool fonts to add to piggy. I didnt realise that around this time, it was already 3 30, only 30 minutes till we can order macs! We decided to watch Moulin Rogue again cos we're both such die hard fans of it. We sang along to most of the songs, or rather, tried to. Her singing is, spectacular. Her house must have soundproof walls cos her family didnt wake up. Amazing. Ordered macs at around 5. She just had to go to the macs deliery website to go check the menu while people like me who have memorised the entire menu back to front had to patiently sigh. We went back to moulin rogue after ordering, after 45 minutes of wonderous singing, insults being thrown at the duke, and a thousand random pictures later, the macs guy came. I paid for all the food. 25 bucks Liz, they cost me 25 bucks. You so owe me breakfast. (: The macs guy said the most random thing. ever. Macs guy to Liz: Hey Nice name. Liz: hee hee thanks. Mein my head : what on earth? (when the guy left) Me: what was that about? Liz: Oh i gave them my name, you know the french one, Elysebeth. Me: Tsk. Liz: Its so unique right? Me: You're the only person on this earth named Elysebeth. yes oh so special. Pfft,special needs. They accidentally gave us an extra hashbrown (ha ha suckersssssssss) she didnt finished her food and made me finish it for her. Ah well, who's complaining? At around this time, i think the lack of sleep finally got to her. She just started laughing at everything, when i sniffed my sausage egg mcmuffin, when i farted at the most emo and touching part of moulin rogue. she said i ruined her "moment". I dont know whether she was laughing or crying. She then went camera crazy. She started taking pictures like these. Wow. Then we took like, a thousand photos. Poor camera. I have like, a gazillion pictures, so stand back. Liz's 31 bottles of shampoo, one bottle per day for each month. Her hairband collection. Her and piggy before the paint was put on. Creative explosions. i was about to sneeze. She told me to smile. Notice my bunny ear sign on the side of her head. :) :D Heaven. Come what may. Her ballet poses. I sat there staring at her like that while she snapped away. She claims to have the best form in class. She locked herself in her room here to take pictures of herself. I like this photo. We're messy eaters. More of Liz's random shots. And finally, i dug up these extremely adorable pictures of me and Liz when we were 2. Even when i was 2, i was already trying to shoo this demon away. I can imagine what was going through our minds. Me: Shoo demon, Shoo! Liz: What the hell is wrong with you? And then, someway or another, i fell down. And Liz being the sweetheart she is, helped me up. Liz: Get up silly boy me: This doesnt change anything woman. hahaha. I particularly like those 2 pictures. Anyway, her mom gave me a lift home in the morning at 8, Liz wouldnt follow me cos she wanted to sleep. Yea thanks Liz. Got home, and i tried to sleep, but i just couldnt. Read a book while listening to music the whole afternoon. Im probably going to have to start mugging next week. Ah well, it was a good "holiday".
