Hi all! Happy Chinese New Year again!! Hope y'all have had a good CNY so far!

As for me, I've had a wonderful CNY; everything was nice and good, no bad things happen to me or anything, so yea I guess I'm a very fortunate person! Thank God for that! Anyway, as for what I'm up to these days, I've recently started watching a new anime called 'ToraDora!', on the first day of new year. It's very nice! Now I'm even reading the light novel and manga! Oh, I went to Kinokuniya today just to find the books! I even signed up as a member there, cause today got 20% off storewide for all members, so yea lucky me I guess! Today, I officially declare: I 'heart'(as in love) Kino!^^

By the way, speaking of which, I was kinda caught in between in a little unpleasnt situation at the helpdesk counter. There was this typical 'unhappy/angry customer' issue thingy. Okay, so I was doing the paper work to get my Kino membership when this man beside me who was seemingly nice at first, well, you know, blew his temper at the customer service people for I'm not sure what reason. Pardon me, I didn't mean/want to eavesdrop or anything, but he was speaking so loudly directly beside me when I was filling up the membership form that I couldn't help but heard most of the conversation. Anyway, this was roughly how the conversation went:


Man: You guys must be really busy, having so much to do, it's amazing... ...

(Okay, so at this point, I thought the man was a pretty nice guy who was just complimenting the hardworking and nice ladies at the counter, and so I smiled to myself and continued filling up my form.)

Man: Yes, can you help me with .,.. ... (can't rmb wat but it's something about collecting his reserved books, I think.)

The lady at the counter attended to him swiftly and did her best to answer his questions.

Then they were talking about some sort of mailing issues, and some serial number/post codes and stuff (you know, the admin matters, probably of delivery and collection). The lady then enquired about some necessary documents for the collection of the books, which the man seemed to have trouble producing it at the counter then. But then the man quickly adds...

Man: No, it's not me, my wife screwed it up!

(and so I was like : "er, okay..." to myself in my mind.)

Then the man continued to lament and complain, and it grew more intense and heated, like as if he was going to blow up, which kinda worried me.

Man: I feel like getting my hands on someone's throat... You know, I'm seriously pissed.

Man: I almost punched a guy in the carpark just now...

Man: You people should have ... (done this and that, this and that, etc...). I mean, it's common sense.

Man: Next time, you should have... blah blah blah... CALL ME and specify, IN ENGLISH!

Man: I wouldn't have to take a day off just for this you know, it's stupid!

Okay, the lady at the counter attending to him was at this point clearly overwhelmed and tried to just do her job as best she can.

Man: You know, the only way to solve this is to stick my hand on somone's throat!

Man: You know, it's easier to deal with men, cause I can punch them, but you ladies ar... ...

Okay, now I think you'll get how I felt. Btw, I was the only guy around, the helpdesk people are all ladies and he was right beside me. So I felt kinda threatened, like if the situation worsened I would like get involved and clearly have to act and do something about it. Maybe I was thinking to much, but worst case scenario, it would have been ugly. I really pity the customer service people for having to deal with such people.

However, to clarify, why I'm posting about this is not because I'm a busybody prying into other people's business. It is because I can't just ignore it and say "I don't care" and just shrug off like that, cause that will be lying to myself. What that man said, hit me hard enough to get me thinking. Since I was there there and then, I was already involved in it to an extent, no matter how I would rather not have, but you see the point is, this kinda things happen to us, as in we are sometimes witness to something unpleasant BUT of which is not pointless and just meaningless coincidence; it is there for us to learn something. That's what I feel. I felt that when the man pushed the blame on his wife just like that, without second thought, it kinda made my blood boil a bit, as in I thought that was extremely mean, and sad for that man too. This is exactly why 'fortunate but ungrateful/unhappy lives' exists, because some people are controlled by negative emotions, like rage. To me, it really felt inhuman of the man to speak of his wife like that, I really pity his wife, and those other people, like the helpdesk lady, whose day was spoiled by the man just like that. Nobody deserves this kind of treatment, especially the innocent people around him, like that lady, who was doing a service for him. As for me, I made a resolution this day that I ABSOLUTELY WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT! If a day comes whereby I fall into that state in which I hurt others, then give my a tight slap in the face for all that matters, cause that is not who I am. I will really hate myself if I ever do that to my loved ones.

Haiz, okay, so I've spoken my thought for the day. Feel much better now =)

I'm inspired... ...

Yoz! I haven't updated for quite a while, but don't worry, it's not that nothing is going on in my life, but more like too many things and I lazy to blog a lot!

Recently, I've been occupied with ACCO practice and their CNY celebration performance, as well as a performance at Thomson Plaza just now! ACCO is fun! Oh, had primary school class gathering on friday, it was really nice to see my old buddies from my EVG! We even went bowling, and also played pool! Thanks for organizing!

Anw, my list of EVENTS (mostly 2008 stuff) at the sidebar is almost complete, I think I will be updating for 2009, as soon as my schedule comes out. However I somehow don't feel like removing the current list you see on the right now, cause they're so memorable! Nevertheless, I'll see what I'll keep up and sort out those that can be removed pretty soon, after all, life has to move on, for better things in 2009! I'll really miss 2008, again!

Hmm, school will be starting soon for me, I'd better do some revision soon! Oh and CNY is just around the corner, so Merry Xin Nian! (taken frm yk, haha!)

I'm hooked unto this PSP game now... ...

(It's an anime RPG game btw.)

Stunning anime cinematics; awesone game animation; detailed artworks/superb graphics; original & complex storyboard; deep, interweaving subplots; great music and more!

One special thing about this game is that you get to make choices and decisions which affect relationships between your characters as well as future events, so certain ending scenes may vary from person to person depending on how you play the game, thus there are many possibilities! And also, the characters are actually voiced by their voice actors for most parts, especially the important scenes of the game, so it's not like you only get to read the text when the characters are talking, like most games, which tend to be less appealing. In addition, this game got a lot of extra stuff as in the characters can learn special skills which range from composing and performing music to wrtting to training pigeons to send letters/run errands, and to cooking recipes! All these make the game super appealing and interesting!

Plus this is the first game I ever played that is REALLY NICE!! Made me kinda teary when I completed the game and saw the ending where the characters part ways after their long journey together (sob, soo touching). It's really the perfect adventure/fantasy game that can make you wish you were inside the game, cause you can really feel for the characters - that's how good the game development is! I really miss the game! Okay, I'm gonna play from the start again^^

Here's the game intro/opening. Perhaps after you see this you can get a glimpse of how awesome the game is and say that: "Man, this is no ordinary game..." XD

Quite a long day today.

Went to ACJC open house, or more like I'm involved in the open house - ACCO open house performance. We performed 4 pieces, namely long teng hu yue, ju hua tai, colours of the wind and yao zu wu qu (sry, lazy type in chinese), and we performed in LT4 for 3 sessions. Overall I think everything went quite well, had a wonderful day today in ACJC from morning 10am all the way to about 6pm. Oh, I met a couple of my church friends there, daniel sim and priscilla! Oo, and kuan git, seng chee and jeanette came too! After everything, I went to eat with chun yang, julian, pei yan and jeanette. Woa, before that, when we leaving the school, at the gate there, seng chee said his father picking him up, and everyone purposely waited with him cause everyone wants to get a glimpse of his Lamborghini, AND TRUE ENOUGH, we heard a loud roar of a car engine approaching and everyone's head immediately turn the other way and volla, there it is, emerging from behind a tree, a two-seater, green Lamborghini, and we were like *0* Lol!! Like roadshow like that, everyone's eyes was glued to the car, even all the other ACJC students coming out from the gate, and a lot of people were like cheering like mad! Whoo woot!! Then the car made a like 'sexy' reverse (engine grumbling), then everyone was like "Louder!", and then the accelerater was stepped on and the engine roared like dam loud before the car sped off and everyone was like cheering like nuts! Crazy man! Then chun yang was like shouting "I'm his friend! I got his number!! I go his house before!!!"

Yea, after the hoopla and all the commotion, we continued to Holland Village for dinner. After that, Jeanette and I left first cause I need to make it to cwp for theory lesson at 8.45pm. Long day indeed!

Hope I can go ACJC Science stream! I getting attached to the school! I love the canteen food... chicken rice... ...

I got EXACTLY what I wanted; it's a wish come true!!^^ Cause I've accomplished my goal of obtaining a single digit for my 'O's!

Oo, and CHSCO chalet was fun!!

sun set at 10:09 PM

I had quite an eventful day yesterday. Firstly, I had ACCO prac, after that I went to SP open house with jie chou. I think SP is one of the nicest poly I've visited; it's just a stone's throw away from dover mrt, and students even enjoy a linkway/gate to the poly - directly connected to dover mrt station! Afterwards, we met up with jie qi at yio chu kang before going to orchard. We went to Kinokuniya, and I made a reservation/order for a tsubasa piano solo album - a book containing selected piano scores from tsubasa ost!^^ See here for the score-book info http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-135-49-en-70-29be.html
Oh, I had to make a reservation as the book's sold out at the moment, but it contains a lot of the songs I want! (See link) Yay, can't wait for it's arrival about 2 to 4 weeks from now. I'm so gonna finish learning the songs!! (with much resolution! ><)

Today I had AC pra again, this time till 4pm (combined prac frm 9-12, sectionals 1-4pm). We're preparing for open house btw, which is on 13 Jan. I really learnt A LOT from sectional practise today. Shen lau shi is pro, it's so amazing what he can do with various percussion instruments, especially the tambourine! After seeing his pro-skills, julian, pei yan and I were so revved up and inspired that we travelled all the way to bugis to go to a music store to hunt for a tambourine, so we can practice at home. But in the end, none of us bought... yet. One thing's for sure, I'm gonna get myself a tambourine!!

Well, my next few days will be filled, so I might not have time to blog. Let's see, tomorrow morning church, afternoon go CHSCO chalet, then the next day from chalet go straight to school collect o level result. And then the next day is AC open house, plus theory lesson at night! Quite a handful I guess, hAha. See ya!

'O' Level results on Monday,12 Jan...

A bit sooner than expected, but the time has finally come. I'm a bit nervous, but there is nothing to fear, nothing to doubt, because everything is already planned beforehand. I will receive God's will for me on Monday, that is what I will set out to do that day. All the best!

Time to blog, haven't posted for a bit.

2 days ago, on bus 169 on my way to Causeway Point (cwp) for theory lesson, I discovered that my EZ-link had ran out of cash, so I had to pay in coins for the bus ride. So I asked the bus driver how much, and he said $1 (to my surprise cause I thought it should be 55 cents). Then I searched my wallet but only came out with 80 cents worth of coins, so I was like "sway man" in my head, but then a kind lady saw through my dismay and offered to change my 2 dollar note for coins, (and I was relieved) but then the bus driver said "never mind" and waved his hand off telling me that I do not have to pay the bus fare, (and I was like... okay...) and before I could ask him again to make sure it was really alright, he insisted by saying "never mind" again. So in the end, I was pretty lucky to have a free bus ride to cwp! (thanks to the kind bus driver)
HOWEVER, yesterday, I got on bus 169 to cwp again, and I haven't top up my EZ-link card then, so I asked the bus driver how much the fare was, and he told me 55 cents! So now, I'm really confused, is it 55 cents or $1!! One of the drivers had to be lying, or got the pricing wrong (which is less possible). Could the first driver be unintentionally... ... What a delima!

Oh, yesterday went to ACJC for Co prac for the open house on 13 jan. After that I went to eat at Holland Village with chun Yang, julian and a couple of ACJC friends. Then suddenly got word from sheila that moses, rozie and gang are going to celebrate szemin's birthday at cwp, and asked if I wanna go. Ok, so after that, I thought that I really have to rush and make time, if I was going to make it at 8.30pm at cwp, since it was about 6.20pm when I received the message and I was somewhere in buona vista. And knowing that they'll be eating at Swensen's, I have to go home first as my wallet was empty D; But somehow, after setting off after eating with chun yang and gang (which was about 6.50pm), I managed to make it to cwp not on time, but 10 minutes earlier!

Well, then later on, we had a great time and it was really memorable. We got szemin an ice-cream birthday cake at Swensen's! Oo, something embarrassing happened to me - I was 'jacked' by a piece of tissue paper D; Okay, so this piece of tissue paper was lying in front of me, then I decided to use it and reached for it. Then because the tissue paper was folded in half so I mistakenly thought that there was 2 pieces of tissue paper. So I tried to like seperate the '2 pieces of tissue paper' cause I only needed 1, and then I suddenly found that I couldn't - instead of 'seperating' it I ended up pulling the 2 halves apart. And I was like 0_0" and I froze, secretly hoping that no one saw me did what I did, but then liangyu witnessed it all and burst into laughther and everybody laughed and I was like ><

After that we talked about some things, and also about a lot of things, and I discoverd a lot through our time together. Thank you everyone for your support! Oo and happy b'dae to szemin once again! Oh, I have to rush off somewhere now. See ya!

On an ordinary sunday today, I've discovered something extraordinary and really cool!^^

Okay, so I was on my way to Yew Tee mrt for lunch together with my church friends after service, then priscilla started talkin about birthdays and we asked each other when each of our birthdays are. Later, during lunch, we talked about being left-handed and right-handed. And the extraordinary thing is:

Cheng Kai - 21 Feb (left-handed)

:

Me - 27 Feb (right-handed)

:

Priscilla - 5 Mar (left-handed)

:

Isaac Liu - 11 Mar (right-handed)

Cool rite??! Firstly, our birthdays are six days apart, and secondly, we're like alternate handed, as in left-handed, right-handed and so on. Super cool!! I mean like what are the chances of 4 ppl coming together whose birthdays are exactly 6 days apart?? Plus the left-handed right-handed thing? I was like DDD:

Omg! What a revelation!! I would have like exclaimed: "What an unbelievable coincidence! 4 ppl like somehow meet together and like..." This is truly special indeed! But after all, there is no such thing as coincidence... I could never have imagined it, and whatever this is suppose to mean, that is, if there's a hidden purpose behind this meeting of friends. Haha, I must be thinking too much!

sun set at 10:23 PM

Today I finished watching all e current episodes of Gundam 00 season 2 that has been released. It's been quite awhile since I touched gundam, but watching it again is nice and gets me back a bit into gundams, just like old times, but of course I'm still so in love with tsubasa! To me, tsubasa + xxxholic are the #1 animes! ALL HAIL CLAMP!! XD

Anw, went to Lian Hua Primary for a church soccer game - my church Mt Hermon against Carmel. It has been ages since I played field soccer, especially this kind of 'competitive' but friendly matches which has a referee. Everyone has to pay $5 for hiring the referee as usual, but we had a great time, the weather was good, and us, the Hermonknights, were still pretty not bad considering we haven't been training and playing together for the past couple months. There were a few blunders, but overall the passing was good. First half ended 0-0, second half 1-1 and so it's a draw! Good game nevertheless!!

Well, that's all for today! C ya! Off to listen tsubasa music~ ^^

Year 2009 unfolds...

Oo, I haven't blogged about what I did on 1st Jan 2009, and since I've just returned from class chalet, I'll get onto that too!


Oh, before that, I've changed my blog music to 'Best Years of Our Lives' (nice piece from Tsubasa OST). This is to wrap up year 2008, which really is one of the best years of my life, and to start off 2009! XD


Okay, so 1st Jan I went to Johor with my whole family and my mom's good friend and her family plus a relative of theirs, haha what a gathering! (total 10 ppl, 5 from each side) Basically, we wanted to have lunch together on a new year and also watch movie there. We ate at a Korean restaurant, and oh, the restaurant staff were very outgoing and accommodating towards us. The manager (I think, or perhaps a supervisor or senior staff) gave my father a warm handshake along with a cup of beer and took photos together at first sight! He then without any delay, offered all of us beer, on the house! I thought that was very kind and hospitable but I was a bit 'er...' in my mind because some of us were underage, but the next thing I know we all had a cup in our hands and then 'cheers!' and so, I took a sip, thinking that it was plain water at first (how naive of me, to ignore my instincts cause I knew it couldn't be plain water and so I was like 'wat was I thinking?!' Lol!) Ok, and I didn't like the beer one bit (I still don't understand why adults drink beers) and so I never drank it again after the first sip, haha! Then that restaurant staff was like "Today is new year yea, you happy, I happy!" And then the food was served, Korean style, and it was good! We even got a free can of Coke from the restaurant, all in the new year festive, joyous mood, I guess, haha!


After that, us, the kids, which includes my little brother and I, our good buddy Edward and his little sister and their cousin, went to watch movies at City Square. We actually watched two movies in a row, as in straight, one after another, like watch finish one then chiong to the next cinema, lol! And while we were doing that, our parents went happily shopping. Oh, btw, we watched Yes Man and Bedtime Stories, both are funny movies. I think the movies are not bad, quite humorous and hilarious, but the cinema there, to be honest, sucks. First, there is some weird smell or stench in the cinema, then the popcorn taste like weird in the wrong way, the cinema is like totally freezing, and finally, the quality of the screening isn't crisp-clear good, like some scenes were blurry, oh plus my bro thinks the sound was a little too loud. Well, I guess that's the difference from when you watch movies in Singapore!


Oh, I thought Yes Man was quite interesting. "Say yes to all opportunities that present themselves to you and embrace the positivity of the doors you will have opened in your life - which ultimately leads to good things." Well, actually, this isn't a quote from the movie; I made it up to summarize, well it goes something like that, haha! Really, I think there is some truth beneath this, and if you just keep saying no to things you would have shut yourself from the many good things that might come your way if u have just accepted and embraced the opportunities. So, if you think you're more of a 'No-man' than a 'Yes-man' then you should really start saying yes to every opportunity that presents, until you learn how to say 'Yes' not because you're obliged to, but because you want to, and good things will start coming into your life, for sure!


Now I shall blog about my class chalet! This year, we've got a nice, roomy sea-view bungalow at Aloha Loyang Resort, thanks to Samuel's parents for helping us book the place, and at a special price too, since they're civil servants. (actual price about $400+ I think, we got the place for like $150+! ^^) Quite a group of arrived early at pasir ris; ate lunch there and after that bought some things at the supermarket at White Sands before heading to the chalet. We basically played soccer there, cards, and also xbox, which jie chou brought. Oh, and I went roller blading with victor, wei shian jie qi and sei yee, before meeting guo yang and perry along the beach there. Roller blading rox! (yay, I just learned how to roller blade 2 days ago at GE chalet!^^)
As for the food, Samuel and jefferey prepared bee hoon (not bad indeed!) and there was catered pineapple fried rice, and we bbqed satay, chicken wings and stingray. We also bought 4 bottles of sparkling juice. Oh, and I had a 3-on-3 soccer match - me, jefferey and joshia against sei yee, shan wei and darren. I think it was a draw, haha! After that we returned to eat some more.


Overall, I think the chalet was a success, everything went smoothly - after so much of planning with jie chou and some others who helped a lot. I guess the only disappointing factor was that only 1 teacher turned up... the rest dunno what happen or got meeting or something like that. After all, it's the first day of school for secondary students, so they might have quite some work I guess. But anw, it was a lot of fun! Thanks for coming! Perhaps the second last class gathering there will be, with the last being that of the release of the 'O' Level results. All the best!

My end-of-year 2008!

Yo! Got lots of things to blog, but firstly, happy new year everyone!! It's 2009, year of the cow! Moooo~


Okay, first of all, I'll blog about my first night at GE chalet. I was supposed to arrive at the chalet at about 7pm, but turns out I only made it there about 8pm - all because I took a wrong turn! Let me elaborate then. Everything was smooth at first, I took bus 966 from woodlands, arrived at parkway, and walked through the underpass to East Coast Park (ECP). I emerged from the underpass, gleeful that I was able to make it to ECP by myself for the first time and thinking that everything will be alright from there. So there I was at Area C. It was then that I made a big mistake - facing the sea, I walked right, thinking that Area D, where the chalet was, is to the right. And so I walked and walked and never reached Area D. Well, I'm sure I don't have to further elaborate anymore... haha! Turns out that facing the sea from Area C, Area D was on the left! Well, thanks to Qin Kai, I managed to get my bearings right, and after a very very long walk, I finally arrived at the chalet! I have since gained a very clear picture of ECP - the hard way, haha!


Ok so I finally arrived and fortunately, there was still some food. Happily ate dinner, and then I played Twister, which was super fun! Then everyone gathered to play Crime Scene. Lol, the script was well written, and funny! And those involved in the act did a superb job! We were all laughing and had a good time! In the end, Kuan Git turned out to be the murderer! (Yay, my gut feeling was right^^) After that, Enzon and I had a Twister duel, and we both made it through Yu Heng's attempts to try and trap us in entanglement, haha!


Oh then I watched 300 and a hilarious chinese comedy (sry, I forgot the name :X). Later, I went night cycling with a few people - han yang, song shan, grace, alfred, chen ying and ek jun, who was a little sober, with a reddish-purple face after drinking 3 cans of Carlsberg! Had to make sure he was ok, and fortunately, he was alright after all! Btw, han yang and song shan were roller blading. We travelled all the way to Safra there, and choosing not to head for the airport, we turned back to ECP. I had to zai4 grace for a bit halfway through the journey as she didn't feel like biking, haha! Luckily, I was still able to zai4 ppl on the bike quite smoothly and steadily, thank god, we had a great time and everyone made it back safely! Afterwards, enzon, sebas, song sim and alfred taught me bridge and I played awhile with them, before going to sleep for awhile. Shortly after, I ate mac for breakfast before going home at about 8.30am. Oo, I walked out of ECP with song sim, who was going to school for prac, and also wendy and hazel, who were going home to sleep, haha! I parted with them after crossing the underpass as I was heading to e parkway bus stop. Oh btw, I had to leave GE chalet that morning as it was the day of my parent's wedding anniversary and thus, I have family plans in the afternoon.


I went for a buffet lunch at this restaurant called Vienna with my family, before watching Ip Man, with them (yay, my 2nd time watching, and it's still super nice!) Then in the evening, I returned to GE chalet! This time, dinner was bbq! I helped to fan a bit to sustain the fire; and I mainly had chicken wings, and pineapple fried rice, oh and some satay and sausages! Thanks everyone who helped in the bbq, the food was good! Then later, cause a lot of ppl were going night cycling, I impromptu decided to stay overnight! Thanks to Kuan Git, who taught me roller blading earlier in the day, I decided to roller blade, along with him, instead of cycling. It was tough for me at first, cause I'm not very consistent yet, and was lagging behind the group, but thanks so much to wan hua, jun yang, derek, ek jun, lim wei, sherry, wei liang and others for being patient with me, and helping and guiding me along the way! I really got much better at roller blading in the end! Oh, then chen ying and I ran back for some distance on the way back. I continued running after chen ying stopped, cause my leg is sore from roller blading, and I didn't want to be a burden to the group, since junyang has to zai4 me in order to catch up to the group in front. Then nearer to the chalet, I rode ek jun's bike as he wanted to run. Then met szemin and aaron on the way back. Oh, then ek jun roller bladed back to chalet, very pro and natural roller blading!


After reaching chalet, I drank to my heart's content! Then shortly after, I slept very comfortably on e bed upstairs, with earphones on. I think I fell asleep at about 2.30am, and woke up at around 8.30am. Then I went down to find some water, and szemin was the only one awake while everyone is fast asleep. Then I cycled to mac to buy breakfast with szemin, and returned to chalet to eat my breakfast, after which I went back to woodlands with szemin on bus 966, since jeanette not going home.


Then later that night, I went for watchnight service in church. Had a great time there too, able to have good fellowship with my friends over supper after service, then went back home and reached around just in time, 11.59pm, for countdown (well, I didn't actually do a countdown, but come 12.00am and a happy new year indeed!) What a great, long day to end year 2008!


GE chalet was soo much fun, and I'll never forget my time there. realised a lot of things that I've never realised before in the midst of the chalet, and the moments spent there with my friends was most memorable. It has also been a great learning experience for me - firstly I learned a great deal about ECP itself, secondly I learnt how to play bridge, and last but certainly not the least, I learnt roller blading! Roller blading was probably the toughest thing I've learnt there, but nevertheless, I could not have done it without the help of my friends. Thank you so much GECO! I feel truly blessed indeed!!^^

(P.S. And thanks for the X'mas cards - I've received 2!^^)
