Volunteer work?


I heard abt this children carnival thing from Mel and some other friends, its something like a fun-fair thing for the children at different orphanage, they are currently looking for volunteers from students at Nyp / Sp. The event will be held at Sp. Sound fun! i love the company of kids! but it's on a Saturday, means i've got training and work. And now that my training hours are extended, and i need to train up physically as well. i'm so sad to say i doubt i can make it! but its like.. arghh i really wanna go! When's the last time i ever volunteer to help out something like that? When's the last time i ever show some care to the less fortunate? Or even when's the last time i visited an orphanage or Old folks home? It's like many many years back!! or maybe i should skip training for once? hahah, that would be cool?

The donut results are coming out this saturday i heard? i still remember the last time i took my results, seriously i wasn't really bothered about it even on the day itself. In fact, everyone was rather calm, maybe on the outside, till when the final moment came when you can see different expressions on their faces. The day when i felt it's like the end of the world? Not because of the results, but rather the parting shot. I must say i miss the teachers, the food, and everything about my entire secondary school life. That very day was also the last time i seen most of my friends, how sad can life gets? Well, life is like a train ride, people board and alight at different stops. Some of which had become aquaintances. but nevertheless i enjoy my school days very much, in fact my sec school days were the time when i see myself changing from a rebellious kid to perhaps someone who is more thoughtful to other people's feelings and so on.. but no matter how, good luck folks, if you are taking your results soon!

wow! i'm running late, meeting James to go gym at yio chu kang. He's rather cranky today, joking around, laughing hysterically? but i seem to be cheering up with his company!

When my mouth doesn't feel like exercising


Came back home about 15 minutes ago, got no work today! That's really great!! I dunno why, maybe too much work, too much of running about had really debilitate me. didn't really talk much in class today, perhaps back to the typical me? I didn't answer any calls today either, right now i've 45 missed calls, and i could guess it was from who, but i just didn't wanna exercise my mouth at all.. at least not then.. A penny of thoughts about my life, thoughts about the past, and as i look at the picture below, i think about how i use to go to the beach when i'm young, the fun i had with my siblings, it all seems so distant to me now. And the picture also reminds me of a mail or a story i read, take some time to read this :

"I was sitting on a beach one summer day, watching two children, a boy and a girl, playing in the sand. They were hard at work building an elaborate sandcastle by the water's edge, with gates and towers and moats and internal passages. Just when they had nearly finished their project, a big wave came along and knocked it down, reducing it to a heap of wet sand. I expected the children to burst into tears, devastated by what had happened to all their hard work. But they surprised me. Instead, they ran up the shore away from the water, laughing and holding hands, and sat down to build another castle. I realized that they had taught me an important lesson. All the things in our lives, all the complicated structures we spent so much time and energy creating, are built on sand. Only our relationships to other people endure. Sooner or later, the wave will come along and knock down what we have worked so hard to build up. When that happens, only the person who has somebody's hand to hold will be able to laugh."




Today's the very first time after val's day that i kinda join the Lees for dinner again. I think i'm gonna wait another hour before i am going to have my dinner, haha, they are both "cooking" and fooling around with the food i guess. With Mr lee around, you can hardly get anything done fast. haha, the always crappy guy! He's already... ok, i shall not reveal his age.. but you know a married guy, with a stable career.. He's still like a kid to me.. hehe.. my stomach's growling..

yesterday was really fun at Jiaxing's birthday! the very last birthday baby this month! ( ok, the month is coming to an end). I was so called the "cook of the day", there were like spaggetti, chilli crab, cockles, butter prawns. eh ok shan't talk too much about food, i'm so hungry now. so after dinner, we played twister, which was a common thing we play at every party. Right after that , which is the most dirty and disgusting thing you can play. Somehow Nicholas, Raymond, Cheryl and friends did some "wheel of food" game? ok, so everyone will have to answer a question about Jiaxing, so if you get it wrongly, you will have to spin the wheel and you'll get your "gift" haha, does it sounds like the bridegroom going to enter the bride's house? haha..But if we got it right, then she has to spin the wheel. Sounds lame, spastic, but for me i really enjoy the moment! haha. Questions like, "what's her primary school?", "what's her shoe size?" , " what's her first time she kiss a boy?" There were like a total of 20+ questions. And i was totally shocked that she got her first kiss when she was in kindergarden, and it was a total of 5 in a day! ahha. I must say there was so much that i don't know about her, when i thought i knew quite abit. I get to spin the wheel like 3 times? The first one was Chilli sauce on my hair, ew! The second one was much easier, i just have to sing a song to her! ahha, simple enough, i sang her a care bear song! The third one was simply use my mouth to get 5 chocolates out from a bowl of flour within a certain time, and yup eat it as well! Of cos i didn't have a "long enough tongue" to grab it in a min? So i had a bucket of cold ice water + the bowl of flour pour on to me. Can you imagine? Flour+water+chili sauce? Ew! but lucky jiaxing got most of it, this game was to sabo her actually, ahha we just play along.

Gonna go eat my dinner, i hope i can get my mind off some stuffs.. would not really talk much about it here, it's kinda personal.


There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust and
I just knew my eyes were drying up forever

Open house


Today's my school open house. Was really crowded, in fact over-crowded at certain places. I think there's some problems in the way they organise their tours, so many groups were stuck at the SIT, SEG whereas the other schools were rather vacant at a certain point of time. However i myself did enjoy it though. Hehe, there were many booths selling food, like US pizza, seoul garden?. Goodies bag was packed with Lime magazine, booklets of courses, Macdonald's coupon, Qoo drink, Nivea or some facial products, pen and stuff.. i guess i like the paper bag that they give! It's in such good quality! hoho! Those who had yet to come, why not drop by at the Open house, one more day! Join in the fun!

Yeah, i'll be busy this few days again, don't think will have the time to blog judging from my moutainous pile of work and more to come. Jiaxing's birthday's on Sunday. So i really really need to finish lots of stuffs before i go for her party.

Just read about the subway tradegy in South Korea (DAEGU) , i felt a jolt of pain for the victims family members. It's really heart-breaking. It's something that shouldn't at all happened. If there's a earthquake, it's nature cause. If there's a bomb, it could be some country who plant it due to certain reasons. But this? it's due to a man who decided to kill himself but don't wanna die alone, thus he chose a crowded place and just when he light the fire, he decided he doesn't wanna die and he fled away, leaving the others to die. Mad you would think? Ya, he's suffering from a mental illness, due to a stroke a year back when he lost his job. well what happen had already happened, i just hope that they find the remaining 300 bodies soon.

So many tradegies had happened one after the other, what's the world coming to? Deaths , dead bodies and so on.. the future is so uncertain. I began to fear for what lies ahead of me...


Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.

Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day,
Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please.

Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven

Mac Sundaey


what a cold, rainy day. i had morning breakfast at mac, my uncle bought mac again for me for lunch, i never ate mac twice in a day before. oh well, i hate fastfood for that matter.. my workload is growing incessantly, deadlines drawing near, books piling up, gonna reach the ceiling if i don't get started. ok i'm exaggerating, but.. it's really growing each day, faster than my plant, just imagine...:(

work was fun today, at least time pass faster with laughters and so on, had training today again, unavoidably, it did tired my body down.

met my pri school friend who happen to be there, someone whom i play pranks with on my teacher years back. we would go into the teacher's toilet, after our maths teacher went in, and we splash water into his cubicle and ran out. yap, in case you don't know, i'm one of those most mischevious boy in school back then..
got my present for jiaxing, together with Vincent! so happy, is like finally! hope she will like it! shall not reveal what it is now, in case she pops by my site..

hey peeps! Drop by at my school open house! :) This Thrusday - Saturday!

15th day of Chinese New Year


I just finished my workshop, gotta meet Vincent to get present later. So how was Valentine's day yesterday? i got a few gifts from my friends, yup thanks Viv for that heart-shaped thingy. and surprisingly i got this bear frm this ger in another lecture group. was kinda shocked but i still managed to open my mouth and thanked her. oh shitsss!! it's raining! The scene in town yesterday was a parade of couples, girl's dressed up, holding on to bouquet of flowers, and guys for once were much "better" looking. Valentine's day a time for marketers to think of new promotions, make profits and so on. As usual, restaurants were full, long queued, etc..

Hmm i heard frm this fren of my, that she specially went to buy this dress for Valentine's day to go out with her bf. She says that if you don't dressed up, then that would defeats the purpose of having celebrate Valentine's day. So, yesterday i happen to meet her in town with her bf, i think it was really over-exaggerating, she over-do her make-up, and so on..

Like many would say Valentine's day is a every-day-thing, though i may agree but still i would do something special, something i would not have the time to do during "normal days" (that would apply if i'm attached), things like you would do to really make the day lit up with surprises and programmes lined up, definitely not like having dinner at Equinox where you'll be treated to spectacular views of Singapore and yet having to wait to be seated. A simple home-cooked meal yourself will do good. ( but that also depends what kind of gf u have). I've really am lost for words when i saw her yesterday, especially when she tell me it defeats the purpose if she did not doll up herself. hey c'mon lah huh.. grow up!

Every valentine's day it'll reminds me of this song Adam Sandler - Grow old with you . was my all-time favourite song, i love the lyrics of the song, though it's a very short song. and it somehow brings back good memories, like my dad would play on the piano and sing to my mum when she wasn't too happy, etc. Yap, those were the days...


"I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you
I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you....
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you"


So today, i suppose is the Chinese valentine's day rite? hmm i'm nt very sure, many of my friends are having dinners are their grandparents place. uh-huh, so fun! nice weather (after the rain), nice song playing, been having a great day, but why do i still sulk?

Did anyone buy Toto today ?


Didn't get to blog for a few days, mainly was busy with my work. Yesterday was hari raya, went town with Dav, John, Nick to get some clothes. Had a great time taking pictures with Nick's canon digital camera. Thought that camera was really damn cool! Yap, so we went around taking pictures, as well as trying on some clothes! Been quite a long time since i went shopping. I mean usually i would know what to get and just get it and off i go. But this time round, i went ard with them looking for nice tops. So in the end i found one which was quite nice at topshop!

Heard there is ToTo $10m draw today? A few of my lect grp friends went to buy, and some actually buy to the extend of $250. Gambling to me is a waste of money, c'mon the probability of winning is so small.. i mean really so small.. perhaps is just a gamble of your luck. Well, if you dun buy , you don't stand a chance to win either, so well, i wish them luck then!

These few days i've been very tired, not the usual me, i mean i don't get tired easily for that matter. But i've been so tired that i sleep while i'm standing in the bus, sitting down doing my tutorials.. ( p.s : i don't drool ) Feeling much more awake now, so gonna complete some work today.

I'm gonna bake cookies again later , tomorrow's Valentine's day. There goes my sleep tonight. Mr Lee will be baking his brownies, he bought this heart shaped tray or smt, ahha.. and yup, he's gonna do the brownies in a heart shaped, while i help him up with the cookies which is also heart-shaped! Hmm i'm kinda hungry now, gotta go eat my dinner.

Can anyone whistle like him? Haha, i once done a recording on this song! was real corny thinking back now...

wo bu nan guo


Over the weekends, besides work, i had a great time at Thomas house. His parents was quite generous, giving each of us $12 (*there were 18 of us or more). This was one of the quite good gatherings that we had, beside the last one during Christmas. I indeed enjoyed it, and had much fun too! In fact, i hardly remembered the last time i laughed like that and i talk so much that my mouth wasn't happy it had to stop! we took quite alot of pics, alot of candid shots too! Thomas's room was indeed filled with posters of Avril Lavigne! whao, very nicee!!! And he had this really cool cupboard filled with cars models. I had one too back at home.. but was a mixture of cars, bikes,aircrafts..

My friends had recommended me some students varying from Pri6-Sec4 to give tuition on maths, english and science (physics). I'm hesitating because though it's quite a good income job, but the risk involved would be big! I just think i'm not up to it, basically no confidence! gotta think about it!

I'm going for a run later. Meanwhile got carried away listening to SunYanZi - "wo bu nan guo" I wasn't a great fan of her, in fact i was never really a GREAT fan of any singers, but i appreciate their music. I guess she's one of the best local female singer, she has a unique voice, indeed charismatic. There's this new female singer "Ruien"? the one who appear in a local drama series as chen han wei's gf, jay's mtv. If you were to compare her to stephanie, i think stephanie is much more better. Ruien gives me an impression that she's just another female singer, there's nothing really distinct in ther that outshines the others, unlike stephanie.

Time to finish up some work.. i wonders, "is pride more important or friends?, i can't help but wonder.."

run,run, and run


i ran about 12 rounds today. phew i think my stamina is getting kinda bad. damn it! really need to train up more. i'm going to meet Fabian to go to Thomas house later on. Seems that alot of activites are line up, in fact his parents decided to have a barbeque, instead of having some catering food. So i guess i'll be in for gooood food tonight! whoooo~~ my stomach's growling...

I'm probably going to get some tops after work tomorrow. Shall ask mel to go with me! or maybe sunday, cos tomorrow got training i just remembered...

Just look at some arts magazines, got some inspiration for doing my t-shirt for dance. so gotta go do it now before i go munchy away at Tom's house.. :) Seems that alot of you like brownies huh? Maybe i should just quit school and start concentrating on making them and maybe i'll grow rich! ahha...

Really cool site! Nice photos..whao...Check this out!

I'm in love with this song~~~~

Would you capture it or just let it slip?

brownies fever


Oh man! i spend the whole night just baking brownies over and over again. We did it like four times till it was kinda perfect. The first time was burnt, because it actually suppose to be baked 30-45 min, there about. But Mr lee left it in the oven for too long. So we tried again. Guess what? This time wrong was worse! He mistook the sugar for salt? salty brownies? really tastes like sea water "cake". Yikes!!! There goes the third time but this time we manage to do it quite ok, so the fourth time was more ingredients added and the outcome was perfect. In fact we baked quite alot and so he brought to work for his colleagues today.

My friends went to queue for Ah du's ticket for tomorrow's concert at my school auditorium, was quite long the queue. There'll be two more celebrities, Daniel Chan and Celest Chong, coming too for some autograph session to promote their new show in Channel U. wonder what school gonna be like tomorrow.

Realise i need to spend some time thinking of the design of t-shirts for my respective grps.. don't really have in mind what to do for my dance, cos they want something different. I'll probably start with some graphics? hmm... any ideas?

sms msg frm Mr lee : " shall we bake again tonite? my colleagues says it's nice! maybe i can start selling! " I'm glad i'll be working tonight. Hoho! Perhaps tomorrow then.. but we'll see..

back


Back from work, no work tomorrow! Cool! This weekend been working and i managed to compose a new piece of instrumental with my guitar. My so called "first" piece after so long, i mean after so long of learning to play the guitar! Elaine is back from Australia, but she didn't call me, look for me. Hmm i'm not sad, neither did i miss her. Or did i really miss her? I dunno. but i did feel kinda weird... i thought we could still be gooooood friends... well...

Tomorrow'll be a busy day both in school and at home even though i'm not working. I'll be practising dancing during breaks and after school. I'll go home after that and start baking brownies with Mr Lee.. i've been baking more stuffs since i stayed here.. but i like...

I can't get the archives out, so there would most probably be no archives, i dun really mind though..

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can bring you down, No, no
Cause you are beautiful in every single way
Yes words can bring you down. Oh, no
So don't you bring me down today

Happy chinese new year


Xin nian kuai le! hmm won't be free to blog this weekend, will be working and stuff.. something short here.. for my friends and anyone who is reading now.. :)

Somebody cares if you're happy today,
If your heart is cheerful and light.
Somebody cares if you're feeling good
And everything's going just right.
And somebody hopes that this message will show,
In a warm little heart-to-heart way..
You're thought of, remembered,
and happily wished an especially wonderful day
