| | Straight No Chaser - The Christmas Can-Can | ] | I'm definitely fully bought over by the Christmas cheer this season it's almost a little too ridiculous for myself to bear. HAHA. I love the decorations on Orchard Road, simply because there was none on any street in Melbourne. I fail to see what's so corny about the Orchard Road decorations. We couldn't possibly be expecting real snow flakes, or could we? Maybe we could tell that to Dick Lee next year.
Straight No Chaser is definitely your choice for this festive season. Go get it.
have some, stay cool, don't be a scrooge. |

| | John Mayer - Edge Of Desire | ] | Today, I picked up on the signal. I've been wondering why this 'friend' hasn't been responding. For a while now, I've been thinking it might have been our differing priorities (mainly the amount of focus on Christianity in our lives) but I never wanted to believe it because then it would turn quite ugly. There are Christians that embrace everyone else to 'bring more people to the faith' and there are those who are self-righteous, those who think 'I'm saved. I will associate myself solely with those who are too.' To be honest, I feel that the second group of people have the direction of Christianity absolutely wrong. If you keep within your own group of Christians, there ain't any new people to save no more. So anyway, I'm done trying to 'communicate' or whatever it was that I was trying to achieve in the first place. Done. I hope you don't start trying too, because this door is closed. You go hang with your Christians, have fun. |

| | John Mayer - Heartbreak Warfare | ] | john mayer's battle studies is starting to grow on me.
lightning strikes inside my chest to keep me up at night dream of ways to make you understand my pain
drop his name push it in and twist the knife again watch my face as i pretend to feel no pain
if you want more love why don't you say so
the melody doesn't do these two verses justice. it really is a little too upbeat for the severity of the words, if he meant it the way i'm feeling the words. but the man, still, can do no wrong. :)
i think i actually miss melb. gasp. or maybe i just miss having to study and do something. it's tough to not have a list of important things to do. hustle. |

- I wonder if I drive as dangerously as some of my friends.
- It is rather scary to sit in the front passenger seat sometimes.
- I am going to fail some of my tests.
- Because I got a totally wrong attitude towards it.
- But, it is okay because, Christmas is coming and I am happy.
- (happy that the test is over)
- I shall restring my guitar.
- Playing today at teng's house was rather refreshing.
- I can play the start of silent night now (:
/the sweet perfume was ever so distracting keeping me in a daze foolish foolish heart.

| | straight no chaser - this christmas | ] | back from the bangkok trip! you might be deceived by the title of the post, but it is only because we were mistaken for Japanese and the cab driver said 'konichiwa' to us. anyway, both bangkok trips were vastly different, cos they were for two separate purposes i suppose. it was quite interesting how they panned out even though we were at the same places for the most part. i guess this one could be considered a 'business trip', although it's not my business to be exact. haha! but it was definitely an insight to the kind of effort required for this business. i've severely underestimated it. all in all, too many hilarious moments. fantastic. i don't have pictures, but i have memories and friends who have pictures. hur hur. :)
i've heard straight no chaser's this christmas numerous times today. it is, by far, one of the best christmas acapellas i've heard.
''peace is like oxygen. when you have it, you don't think about it. when you don't have it, it's all you can think about.'' oh god, i love this quote. :) |

waking up at 1pm. feeling like it was 9am and i hadn't had enough sleep. reading two lovely, encoruaging text messages. going down to check out what and where the articles had been published. the first week of work is over. 23 more weeks to go.
who cares that i'm spending way over the maximum 44hours at work. it can only get better right?
drinks on friday with the bizjourn gang was fun. i'm really glad that i missed out on the sleazy gossip and statements made. i wouldn't have been able to not show my 'cringe' face. and, planet 51 wasn't as awesome as i thought it would be. it was nice to have a traffic free drive down orchard to look at the christmas light-up.
but seriously, singapore needs better 24hours eateries to hangout at. |

Today was a good day :D Even though there was school in the morning. Time still zipped pass rather quickly. Before you know it, I was off to collect my laptop. 1st yay of the day.
Then it was paintballing time! Omg we were actually quite scared while waiting for the game to start. We came out with so many senarios of the paintball hitting your ear, or your crotch or how we should only breathe through our nose cos' the paint might seep through the holes in the mask. hahaha. It was really fun! Especially when you get a headshot. OMG OMG OMG. I was so happy. Cheap trill. Like I can see my pellet moving towards his face and it goes SPLAT! -insert evil laughter- Who cares about shooting the body when I can get you in the face. And most glorious moment? When this guy was sprinting for cover and he lowered his head just a little and I shot him right in the centre of his scalp. YELLOW HAIR for him. 2nd yay of the day. Who cares about winning. Lets count how many head shots we can get! heh. But lo' and behold, I was indeed shot in the second and third round. FUCKING PAINFUL PLEASE. I tried to be some hero. But I realise heros suffer alot, hence I have decided to learn from my mistakes and be a zero from now on. haha. My back is full of marks now. Ouch ouch ouch. I was like "fuck meeeeeeeee, YOU ASSHOLES. I RAISE MY HAND TO SAY I AM DEAD ALREADY. FUCKING SHOOT ME SO MANY MORE TIMES IN THE BACK. TRIGGER HAPPY FOR WHATTT" My neck has one too, which looks like a love bite gone wrong. I hope it disappears soon. rawr.
Night arrived. It was time for the concert. It was rather strange cos' there was no queue. It seemed empty and when we tried to get in the first time, they said only for some vip shit and the doors were not open. So okay, we come back in 10 mins time. But when we came back, it was still like no queue? like what?! what is happening. And we went to the bouncer and he said its a private event. But but but. like I mean I can go in right. I registered for everyone! So after alot of 10 mins later, we finally got in and no shit, everyone inside knew everyone else. EXCEPT US. Like omg wtf am I doing here. So random people came to talk to us and tried to be our friends. And we could hear, "hey, who are those people you are talking to?" like hello, I can hear you, please. And after some awkward standing around moments and talking to random people, we realised that we are among alot of up and coming designers and creative people. There was some contest going on too, in which the winner gets 50,000USD and they are all on some show on channel V. No wonder they keep asking me if I knew them, and whether I even watch television. HAHAHA. I was like, "er, sorry but I dont know who you are."
So what the heck, I was here for the concert and Electrico opened the act but was rather disappointing. Everyone was standing around with their arms crossed. They were seriously that boring. Bleagh. The next band performing was some China band and we were like, "huh, china band called New Pants. I want RAYGUN please." However when they started performing, it was WOW. like WOW. So crazy and entertaining!! The bassist looks like Jenny Humphrey too! I didnt understand what they were singing but WAHHHHHHH. SO NICE. I am a fan already. Then it was some malaysian band BunkFace or something. They were pretty good too but very unprofessional. They didnt even tune their guitars beforehand and had to make us all wait. But malays. So nothing to say. AND AND AND AND. It was RAYGUN next. Like seriously, UK bands are awesome. Seriously awesome. Although I really have my suspisions that the lead singer is on weed. Or high. Or something. Who cares though? GOOD PERFORMANCE. He shuffled, he rolled around, he stood on the drums, he got caught in the wires and kicked the mike stand, he jumped off stage and danced with the crowd, he kissed a fan, he screamed for no reason. NICEEEEEEE. At first they only played 4 songs but I seriously kept shouting "ENCORE!!" and everyone was like WOOOoooOOoo! like seriously for what. can we all say encore together so they can sing more songs?! woooOOoo is like thankyou but no more songs? stupid lousy fans. haha. They did come back in the end, the singer was like trippy and he said to the guitarist, "We came all the way to Singapore to sing just 4 songs?" muahahaha. But he said we cannot take videos of the new songs cos' I kept shoving my bb in his face to video the start. WHICH I REALISED ALL THE VIDEOS ARE MISSING COS I RAN OUT OF SPACE. FML FML FML. The guitarist was awesome too. I asked him for his pick and he took 2 steps, at that moment another girl asked for his pick and he looked at her and said, "but he asked for it first!" then he swung around and threw the pick at me. HOHO. I thought he going to give the girl can. I was like wtf. sexist all. but HOHOHO.
Then, I played poker and won some money. Which ends my wonderful day. Yay-er. I like this. Very good very good. Yesterday was nice too! There was pageant where I got to laugh at people and look at pretty people. And tiffy, even if you didn't win, we would have all voted for you anyway!! and really you had nice hair. Still a winner to us! You sang way better than alot of the others. Sorry that we worried for you. haha. Right, time for sleep. Goodnight and bang bang, headshot. :D |

[Dec. 11th, 2009|12:31 am] |
ok so i'm actually upset because i don't get to do what i want with my own time. had to wake up at 'unearthly' hours the past few days to entertain stupid alarm clocks and stupid 'emergencies'. i really just want one day, soon, for me to just wake up on my own accord without disturbances.
i'm really sick and tired of my mom acting up with her stupid illnesses. i know it's terrible but who on earth has THAT many conditions. and the way it is, i just can't really imagine what will happen when she hits 60 or something. it's not that i'm cursing her or anything, but goodness i really can't keep up. and every single time she goes down, it feels like my brother just becomes a shadow or ghoul. he's not really there, he doesn't ask after her, he doesn't go see her, he basically doesn't give half a flying fuck. half the time my mom's thinking about whether he's had breakfast or shit like that. honestly, i'm extremely disappointed. and most of the time, i'm not shooting him down like that because i'm confident he knows his boundaries, but the behaviour this morning was disgusting. when i was looking at him just now and i thought of how my folks told me indirectly that my sense of entitlement had to go, i really was speechless. at the most crucial moment, every single fucking one disappears. off to find a carpark lot, to catch up on sleep, yada yada. I CANNOT KEEP DOING THIS FOR YOU.
i can't wait for saturday. i'll just go do my own thing. if you're ill, pop a pill. don't call me, i can't do anything for you. i've really had enough.
fuck. i don't even know if it's just me being grumpy and stupid or if i'm truly genuinely upset.
young and full of running tell me where is that taking me just a great figure eight or a tiny infinity
love is really nothing but a dream that keeps waking me for all of my trying we still end up dying how can it be?
at least there's still good music. |

(: positive outlook, please. no more life is bleak nonsense. TOMORROW SHALL BE A GOOD DAY. YES IT WILL. JUST BECAUSE I SAY SO.

 that's a great corner. i'd put standing speakers in between each seat, play music and make it a chill out corner. fantastic.
this morning, another crazy morning. i was sleeping and then mom came to my bedside and said 'help' in the softest voice and i had such a shock. took another trip to the hospital and these trips are really becoming quite routine, so to speak. gosh. bring IC, CSC card, jacket, bottle of water, packet of tissue. move. siao liao. anyway, hospitals really need to train their staff stringently. when we got there, the first hospital staff asked me 'you guys seeing doctor?' and i almost flipped out. i mean, is that even a question? this kind of question goes into the SAME category as when a friend sees you eating at a food court or something and asks 'eating ah?' NO, I'M SNORTING IT TODAY. so i said 'yes. obviously.' and then he said we had to go to the registration counter at the front and re-directed us. so we went to the counter, paramedic asks 'you guys seeing doctor?' and i just walked away and let my dad handle him. honestly, are these people crazy? the question is 'have you registered to see the doctor?', not 'you guys seeing doctor?' oh yeah i'm actually here to see the firefighter. BRAINS.
so anyway, she's fine now. so i can go to dinner in peace. |

Love is by definition an unmerited gift; being loved without meriting it is the very proof of real love. If a woman tells me: I love you because you're intelligent, because you're decent, because you buy me gifts, because you don't chase women, because you do the dishes, then I'm disappointed; such love seems a rather self-interested business. How much finer it is to hear: I'm crazy about you even though you're neither intelligent nor decent, even though you're a liar, an egotist, a bastard. |

| got to be there in the morning |
[Dec. 9th, 2009|12:38 am] |
boyz ii men - got to be there this has got to be one of my favourite songs of theirs. it has amazing written all over it. john mayer - friends, lovers or nothing this song does things to me.
quite bushwhacked right now, got back from bangkok and jumped right back into the fray to play some hockey this evening (not that it was really ever that intensive now that i have my 'senior player' pass) and chicken nut bread again. bangkok was okay. it has been awhile since holidaying with the folks so it felt a little strange at first but obviously, i can't complain about the company. they were hilarious, giving and better than i imagined, so that was great.
throughout the trip, what struck me the most was the destitution of some of their people. and sometimes i get a little lost thinking about things like that, it just goes on and on in my head like i can't close it down, or i just let it keep going. the first evening, while walking back to the hotel, i saw a guy with no limbs at all biting a cup with a few coins in it and i just felt all my blood immediately rush to my feet. it was quite terrible. and then there was one more instance on day 2, after which i became quite alert and whenever my peripherals picked up on these people, i just focused on something else instead of looking at them. i really can't look at them and then go to a mall and shop like i'm happy about it. so, now i guess i can say i truly understand when people comment that there shouldn't be so much suffering when there really is a God. at first, it was always a theory, but now that i've seen it first-hand, it's a different story. and then you start to ask questions like 'what can i do for them?', 'when do you stop/should you ever stop?' or just a plain 'WHY'. basically, why do some people have to be pushed to a point where they have to commit unsavory acts to have an equal shot at life?
so young and full of running to the edge of desire
this could take forever but forever's all i've got |

My life is nice now but I can do better. I owe it to myself. Its just that I am running out of places to go, stories to tell etc. Life is getting way too boring for my liking. Whatever happened to being carefree and the theory of the happy go lucky sentiment? Bring on some of those zombies. That would make life more interesting for a couple of hours; or when I run out of bullets.
SocialQuestions asks: "What would you do if the love of your life appears in front of you now?" Ans: sorry, sleepy now. please come again tmr. Heh. I mean if you are the love of my life, you can wait right? Or try a little harder. Kthxbye.
