Yay! Finally I can put aside those piles of notes and enjoy the long weekend.

Term test over!!

And I'm glad to say that for the first time in poly, I'm confident that I can pass all my term test subjects, albeit I had MC for one of the 4 papers. :p

Sigh... even though next week is term break, I have to return to school for most of the days to finish up my FYP. Kinda sad. Had I been more hardworking and made the effort to do it last semester, I wouldn't have to stress myself out to finish it this sem. Too bad, what's done couldn't be undone. I guess I just have to bite my teeth and overcome this last hurdle.

AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF POLY.

Heh... haven't slept well for the past week. Shan't blog any further. Too shackled and burned out. I will be back after I've relax myself THOROUGHLY this weekend.

By the way,

Selamat Hari Raya Haji to all malay fellows. :)

Enjoy the weekend guys, it's time to ROCK and ROLL!!

PISSED.

Yet cool-headed.

I told myself, I shan't bother to make myself angry over such trivial matters. He claimed that I'm a freaking "gor dong" (antique, old fashioned). Fine then. Fuck him in the arse. He ain't any better.

*sniggers*

I was on the bus today when coincidence of coincidences, I saw a friend. Nah, he can't be called MY friend. It should be my FRIEND'S friend. And he just so happen to be a so called "lan jiao lang".

Thinks highly of himself.

Always tries to talk with an ang moh accent which he suck in, and seeks to conjure an air of supremacy when together with a group of friends.

Likes to act high class, this one bad, that one not good. HE HIMSELF BEST LA!

Anyway, let's talk about the little conversation we had.

I tried to avoid him by not looking towards his direction and guess what? He shouted across the bus, as if there were no passengers on board :

"Hey, Sum Bor! (Skinny)

I swear I would have kicked his arse had I know him better, as in not just hi-bye friends.

I turned around, showed a nonchalant face, smiled and walked towards him.

"Hey, finish school liao ah?"

"Ya, I'm heading home now, you?"

"Ya, going home too."

After which, a momentary silence was observed by the 2 of us.

Wanted to avoid chatting with him, I then dug into my bag and took out my discman. The moment he saw it, his "golden" mouth opened yet again :

"Oh man, you're still using discman? What century already? People use Mp3 player now, lao gor dong lehx you."

Yeah man, he only know how to say, but I don't see him flaunting any Mp3 player to me, not even a freaking walkman, and he had the audacity to comment on my discman. Oh my god, he should really just go to hell.

Didn't wanna continue a meaningless conversation, cos I know he would have 1001 things to shoot me back had I replied to that. I just smiled and plugged the earphones into my ears.

For the rest of the journey, I got more and more agitated and felt rather uneasy. I wondered why didn't I shoot him back just then, instead allowing him to "suan" me just like that.

I continue to indulge myself in my music, and thought of a funny scenario if I really wanted to be REALLY bad. Tsk tsk...

I have a blog. Doesn't everyone? You mean you don't? How uncool are you? Not having your own blog is like not having your own Gmail account.

What? You don't have Gmail either? My God, what are you? A caveman?

No problem la, I'll send you an invite. You do have an internet account, right?

That's a relief. What's your broadband speed? 1.5 meg? Cable? The least 512K?

Huh? You're using a dial-up? You mean to say, you still have a land line? How retro.

Wait, you're still using wires? Thats horrible, but you do have a handphone don't you? Good! Take a picture of me.

Ah? You can't take pictures with your phone? Then what's the point of having a handphone?

You mean you actually use a camera to take pictures? Nice "concept" yeh.

*Snap*

Let me see the picture. Where's the little LCD screen on the camera? What do you mean I have to wait for the photos to be developed? Film? Your camera uses film? I weep for you.

HA! HA! HA!

Next thing you'll be telling me, is you listen to CDs. Where's your Mp3 player? Oh! You don't have one? Trust you to comment on my discman.

Oh I see, you actually buy whole albums. I have 2 words for you: iPod and download.

Now now, what's this? A video cassette recorder? You really should donate it to the museum, Ah gong, along with your cartridges and vinyl records. Tape is so last millenium.

Oh, so you buy DVDs to watch movies also yeh? Its good to support original, and make a hole in your pocket. So how's your surround sound at home?

Alamak! Your "entertainment centre" has only 2 speaks ah? It's ok. I'm glad that it ain't mono.

Where's your computer? Oh there it is! What's with the cathode ray tube? I have 3 words for you dude: Flat screen monitor. My goodness, your mouse and keyboard - more wires. Wireless just doesn't refer to radio anymore you know? Hey! This is the 21st century. Gawd, your mouse still have "balls". Well done mate!

OUCH! My ears, what's that awful screeching noise? The modem? Oh sorry hor, I forgot you're still using dial-up.

How do you live like this? Like an animal?

Hey! Do you watch Naruto? It's the "in" anime now. I'm already downloading it. Oh you don't? Don't worry, let me download it for you.

There you are, it has a total of 115 episodes so far. Judging by your bit rate, I'd say this will roughly take 1000 years. Happy downloading!

Forget it, I'll Gmail you. Oh yeah, by the way, did I mention I have a blog?

You should start one Wei Xiang.

And name it, "My no-life account".

Good day. Byebye.

*grins*


PS: I really hope you see this, albeit I think you don't have my blog address. Too bad.


I FEEL GOOD. Oh yeah yeah SOoOOOoO GOOD!

Frankly speaking, I have never been so eagerly anticipating for Chinese New Year before.

I've absooolootly no idea why am I feeling this way.

Uh-Uh, if you're thinking that I'm eyeing mountains of red packets.

Not this time.

I'm not being skeptical here. Matter of fact, red packets are somehow "depreciating" every year.

So, I wouldn't be expecting any change either.

Then, just what is all these hustling and bustling all about?

LOL. Beats me.

Anyway, forgive me for my bo-liao-ness.

I just had to let the whole world know, THAT I CAN'T FREAKING wait for that big day.

The 9th of February.

Hooray! Exactly 1 more month. *grins*

2004 had been a year of highs and lows, ups and downs, in and out, internal and external, blah blah blah for me.

There were times...

There were times I was on cloud nine, seventh heaven.

There were times I needed to dig a hole and bury my head in it.

There were times where love came knocking at my door.

There were times where love seemed to dissipate into the air.

There were times where money kept rolling in.

There were times I had to dig deep into my pockets.

There were times I could see where I was heading.

There were times I felt lost and helpless.


Tell me, have you ever loved and lost somebody?
Wished there was a chance to say, "I'm sorry".

I did. In 2004.

Have you ever felt your heart was breaking?
Looking down the road you should be taking.

I did too. In 2004.

And yes, I loved and lost, the day I let her go.


"The day of yesterday cannot be retained."
"The day of tomorrow comes troubles and pain." (Eddy's methodology)

Anyhow pom one. I also don't know what the hell am I talking. The day of yesterday? Can't we just simply say yesterday? Haha...

Pardon me, having mixed emotions now. Shall retire in and blog again soon.

Whatever it is, I hereby wish a happy 2005 ahead for all my fellow friends. May it be a year of smooth sailing and good health and wealth.

2004 is history. Fuck 2004.

Here comes oh-mighty 2005.

Meet the Fockers.

One word.


Hilarious.


Advice?

Two words.


MUST WATCH.


Went to Junction 8 with Samuel yesterday afternoon to catch it. Didn't expect much from it initially.

In the end, I came out of the cinema, very much a satisfied man.

Why satisfied?

1. Very funny. In relevance to humour, it's definitely on par with Stephen Chow's "KUNG FU".

No doubts about that.

2. Plot. Good storyline, excellent individual acting of the different characters in it.

3. All u guys out there who haven't watch it must be expecting either Ben Stiller and/or Robert De Niro to be doing all those funny scenes to infuse a sense of humour in the show to entertain viewers.

HA! Not quite right. Albeit we can't deny that they play a part.

Then who is the real laughing stock?

Well, go watch it. It wouldn't be fun if I reveal any more details,

ashhhhhh-holees (For those who know what it means.) *winks*


***


Anyone watched Top Fun aka "Huan Le Dian Feng" yesterday night on channel 8?

For those who've seen it. You would have witnessed the clown of clowns making a fool of himself. Who is this clown then?

Just for the benefit for those who are unaware of what I'm saying here.

Do you remember seeing a guy, 28 years old, wearing a yellow swimming trunk appearing on Singapore Idol in the episode specially made to show Singapore some funny moments that took place in auditions?

Have you all ever noticed a guy somewhere outside TANGS located in Orchard walking around, pulling girls over to one side telling them he would like to trim their eyebrows to make them look more beautiful at $10?

Yes Yes... its Singapore's one and only, our super hero, Mr. Steven Lim.

The clown who vowed to entertain people all his life not knowing that through his "supposed" entertainment, comes absolute irritation.

Well, maybe there's still a handful of his fans out there. Individuals who LOVED his "irritation".

Sorry for insulting your Idol. :)

I shan't elaborate any further. People who wish to know more about him can kindly visit his website at http://www.stevenlim.net

I promise you readers, that you will know exactly what kind of a person he is.

His personality, his character, his everything.

Enjoy.

Fock the Focking Fockers :)

Wow... haven't been blogging for ages. Very sorry, been rather busy lately,

and NO, this blog isn't dead. :)

Guess where am I now?

Yeah man, in the same old lab, same old desk, in front of the same old gawd damn computer.

Cut the crap, I shall go straight into recent significant events, and let's start with Christmas.


The snow is falling, and Christmas is near.
I couldn't ask for more than having you here.
Cos I miss you girl, I always will.
And now I feel the moment is right, the moment is right...

Moment to do what? You would ask. Well, the moment to move on.


***


'Safe and sound night', or chinese would say 'Ping An Ye' or to put it simple, its Christmas Eve. I was contemplating whether to join Y clubbers on an eventful night at clarke quay counting down or go chiong with my chionging buds.

A bit of a history first.

Y club is a gang of brothers and sisters formed around Christmas time in 1999. It started off with 10 members. Namely,

Yongjie, Jeffrey, Samuel, Alvin On, Candy, Me, Jing Jing, Jolene, Wen Sheng, Alex.

Be it recess time back in sec school, outings during weekends, birthdays, this 10 people would always stick together. Everyone was indispensable.

Then Yongjie was the first to leave us, followed shortly by Jeffrey. Both of which I've absolutely no idea why they left.

The last member to part was Jing Jing, mainly due to us not having a liking for her boyfriend. We were all utterly disappointed with her over this. I shan't go into details, its all in the past anyway.

What remains now, from the initial Y club 10, is the current Y club 7.

As the years flew by, everybody gets attached naturally. And so resulting in lesser time for each other as everyone would be busy with their steads.

Now in general, I can divide the 7 of us into 3 sub groups.

1. Candy and Alvin

Ever since they got hooked with one another, they have been entering a world of their own.

2. Jolene

Same for her, ever since she had Gabriel, I only see her like once in months?

3. Wen Sheng, Me, Alex and Samuel

Our brotherhood is still as strong albeit I would say Samuel have been busy with his own things lately and seldom meet up with us.

All these years, I've spent all my Christmas Eves with Y clubbers, so why should this year be any different?

To be honest, deep down inside me, there's this overwhelming intuition telling me Y club is splitting. In fact, that feeling has been lingering for quite some time already.

Very sad indeed.

Nowadays whenever there's a club gathering, be it brothers or sisters birthdays or just any other outing, I feel that everyone is just putting up a front pretending to be very close like how we were in the past. Although it's not very blatant to say the least, we really can't deny the fact that the gap actually exists. I know the gang is trying hard to conceal it, but how long can we hide?

Anyway, after giving much thought, I decided not to change my Christmas custom. Simply because brothers are forever. (Notice the fact I said brothers only?)


I met up with Wen Sheng first. We were sitting on a couch waiting for Alvin and Candy to come, when an idea struck me. There was this group of young teens selling those spray foams at 5 for $10. I persuaded Wen Sheng to buy although he was quite reluctant initially. The idea of course, was to bombard Y clubbers during midnight as I presumed they wouldn't be prepared for it.

Lo and behold, I was damn right. When the clock struck twelve, it was time for FOAM WAR!

Muahaha, I took out 2 cans, shook them vigorously before going on a spraying spree where everyone was trying to run away from me. TeeHeeHee. *grins*

It was very fun and signs of old days coming back were at sight, but I knew it was only for that moment. Sad.

Everyone was fucking hungry after that and we proceeded to fill our stomachs at Satay King.

Fucking hell, a plate of mee goreng plus sunny side up cost a massive $6.50!

And it wasn't any much different from the ones we eat at normal coffeeshops. In fact, the serving was slightly lesser. @#$%@#!@!#

Ta-dah! Time to exchange presents! We exchanged presents via the musical chair format.

Allow me to elaborate.

One person will play music with his or her back facing the group in a circle. The the group will pass the present around until the music stops. (The one playing the music can stop anytime he/she likes) And so the one holding the present when the music stops belongs to him/her.

I got a famous amos cookies brought LAST MINUTE by Wen Sheng. Eh-hem. *rolls eyes*

And the one so luckily got my chinese version of 'Fererro Rocher', "Jinuo Cocher" is none other than Sam the Man. Muahaha...

As the package was quite obvious and everyone knew it was Rocher. All of them were laughing the heads off when it was time to pass my pressie around. The present only circulated for a few rounds before Sam got it. For your info, the music hadn't stop, but when Sam wanted to pass the present to Alvin, he backed off laughing like a moron. Then Sam handed it to Candy, who in turn retreated a few steps back, chuckling away. In the end Sam turned to Jolene, who 'monkey see monkey do', ran away in opposite direction. Hahaha... buey tahan. In the end, when the music stopped, poor Sam had to resign to fate that the present is his to keep.

Expecting a Ferrero Rocher to emerge from the wrapper, to his surprise and everyone else's horror, out comes a similar box of nicely silver wrapped round chocolates, and on the front written nicely were the words, 'JINUO CHOCHER'.

Everyone nearly die laughing, claiming I bought a pirated version of rocher.

Haha... what a day!

I'm bored. Fucking bored.

I'm in school.

Doing what?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Gawd. School don't suck. Timetable sucks. Big time.

So many fucking useless breaks in between lessons. I can start school as early as 9am in the morning and dismiss at 5pm. Hmm... let me count. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8! Oh yeah 8 freaking hours including breaks. U must be thinking OH! Then I should be having maybe 7 hours or AT LEAST, 6 hours of classes?

Nah.

Its only half the time. 4 hours of classes only. 2 hours of lab, 1 hour of lecture and another hour of tutorial. The rest of the time?

SLACK LOR.

What more can I do? Most of my poly pals have all graduated. Its unlike the past anymore where you will meet up with different buddies at different days for lunch.

Well its not so much about meeting friends for lunch. Bottomline being,

FAST system SUCK to the core of the gawd damn earth.

Its simply a waste of student's precious time.

Now I truly regret. I regret not coming to school more often in the 2 semesters that I retained. All because I was lazy to attend class. In the end got myself debarred from exams. Worse part is, I wasn't even allowed to take supplementary exams, which most cases of debarrment would have been permitted to sit for supp albeit you cannot take your main exams.

Why?

Cos I was debarred for too many papers, 3 to be exact. ALL 3 examinable subjects. POWER huh? They gave me a direct repeat.

Yeah, I did it on Year 2 Sem 1. And OPPS I did it again, on Year 3 Sem 1.

A fucker who doesn't learn his lesson right? Yeah, serve me right. I have to admit.

Now, as a result of my moment of folly and pure stupidity, I have to endure long hours of "Zho Bo" and self indulgence in school, loittering around like a person who lost his way in school.

In Laymen's terms, I'm acting like a freshmen.

Well... luckily for me, Rey is still here to accompany me for my lunch when our breaks coincide.

Or should I say, unfortunately there's only Rey? Haha...

Oh ya, there's still Jeremy and Ricky, my 2 chionging buds, but their breaks don't match mine for most of the days. The most I see them once a week. Sad.

For your info, I'm currently in the school's free access lab surfing net, in the midst of a 3 hour break.

I feel good. So good. :)

Today, the 5th of December was our supposed 5th month. Well then again, life's full of unexpectations.

Although I'm still trying to adapt to life without her by my side, it seems that now I have more time for my bruddars and friends, because I devoted most of my time to her in the past. Come to think of it, I was indeed that little selfish.

Well... its already the past. So why bother?

We live in the present, so what's important is not what happened yesterday, but things that are happening today.

It's my life, it's now or never.
I ain't gonna live forever.
I just wanna live when I'm alive...

This should be the spirit. Whenever u encounter hurdles, move on. Jump over it. Never let it hinder ur way to live life to the fullest. Cos we don't live forever. If we don't live now, then when will it be?

Next life?

Nah, we're not even certain that there will be one after we die.

There's a chinese saying,

"jin zhao you jiu jin zhao zui, ming ri chou lai ming ri dang."

Direct translation from English would be,

"Today got beer today drink, tomorrow problems tomorrow settle."

Life is short. It really is.


***


Today went to Oldman's Pub again with Eric and gang. Going out with them is never dull. Never short of laughter. And never debating on who pays more and who pays less. They are indeed a bunch of selfless bruddars to me. In the midst of despair and unhappiness, there's always them to brighten up your day. Simply great friends.

We did the usual. Sang songs, play cards, drink beer and crack jokes. After which we proceed to fill our stomach with dian xin at Geylang, before sending them home.

Its another weekend gone. And great, I'm going back to school on Monday.

Sad.
