Kelvin Says?

Hey Guys.
I thought it was the time to move on to another place...

kelvintkc.wordpress.com.

See you on the other side.

Sometimes it feels as if people around me can't hear me talking to them.
I have to make it damn obvious that I’m talking to them,
to catch their attention.

Pretending?
Stoning?
Or was it an illusion that I'm talking to them?

Who knows?

But thank god some of them can still hear me.

Miser or being particular?
Pretentious or just being mistaken?

Brainwashed or confused?

Important choices/side people need to choose/take .

stuck.

In between to do what's right and
what seems to be most beneficial,
which sometimes is not supposed to.
some may understand by the term,
by right & by left.

I try to do things the right way,
but people seem to dislike me for it,
as i implicate it on them as well.
Doing the right things at times means more work,
a more troublesome approach at doing things.

It stresses me as I'm torn between.

Sometimes a cold shoulder treatment
because of doing the right things.

the irony.

confusing thoughts.

I have been having different thoughts.
Thoughts that seem to split me into two.
One is the compromising me who is easy with anything.
The other, is this crazy opinionated side who has been on the rage recently.
It just leaves me so confused.

Am I this easy to go along with person or...
am I this bitch that wants things going my way?
When I say anything is fine with me, do I mean it?
Do I really need to insist that it happens like this?
Compromising people to make them happy, in turn upset my inner self?
A slave to the world?

I think I need to kill this bitch in me. It’s getting out of control.

Someone stop this bitch. Please. It’s just making my life more dramatic.

Do I love the drama? Or do I not want it?

I had dinner with my parents.
The waitress that served our dinner, her name is Butterfly Hu.
I sure hope her Chinese name is not Hu Die (han yu pin yin).

I just received my 30 ROCK SEASON 1 & 2 DVDs.
I LOVE TINA FEY!

My biatch clique is having some disputes and I’m worried. Very worried.

I’m still looking for my ideal brown leather&canvas, nice buckles, messenger bag.

I need to lose more pounds.

I'm still peeling from that sunburn. at least it's not painful anymore.

I think my lappie is going to land up in the grave soon.

I LOVE LADY GAGA!!! *SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

在平静中的沉默，稍微的疼痛。
是个寂寞的暗示吗？
是否该把心门稍微的打开些，
让多一个人进入我的世界？

今天中午，美丽妈妈特地从工作跑回家，为了姐姐因拔智慧牙煮粥。
忙完后，坐在沙发上。
忽然间，情绪稍微失控，留下眼泪。
我吓着了。

很压力的妈妈被公司的未来经济担忧，
为姐姐近以来的冷漠于情绪化担忧，
为我和姐姐近以来的互相吵骂担忧，
以为我认为妈妈对姐姐比较偏心而担忧。

看着平时很稳定的妈妈担忧着，
我的心渐渐增加的酸痛，
挂在眼眶的眼泪似乎以水坝的河流，
挣扎着。

妈妈认为她做的不好。

但我知道她已经很努力了。
在我心中，美丽妈妈是最棒了。

但是对言语不通的我，
只给她一个安慰的拥抱，
默默的在心中，希望妈妈能更坚强的努力着。

妈妈，我爱你。
加油啊。

In the afternoon, Mom took an effort to make a trip home during lunch hour just to make porridge for Sis as she had just went for a wisdom tooth extraction. After the rush, she sat on the sofa to take a breather. It was in a split second that she started tearing, unable to further control her emotions.
I was taken aback.

Mom was very stressed out.
She worried about the future financial status of the company,
how sis was being very temperamental, the frequent quarrels between my sister and I,
and how she thought that I was jealous that my sis was being more favored over me.

I looked at mom.
The usually emotionally-stable woman who is my hero was breaking down.
My heart ached as though my heart was slowly lowered into a basin of vinegar.
The tears I shed hung still on the lower eyelids, like water before the river dam, with the desire of rushing through yet trapped by the dam wall.

Mom thinks she has been not been competent enough.
But I know she has tried her very best and she is already my hero.

I couldn’t express myself clearly with words,
so I gave her a hug, wishing deep inside my heart that god give her strength.

I love you mum.

ellen and thoughts.

Recently, I've been able to watch the ellen show almost everyday.
ellen is freaking funny.
she either has like bags of jokes in her pockets all the time,
or she has a whole congress of writers behind the scenes.

She has put up a campaign in recent weeks,
aiming to be on the cover of oprah's O magazine.
it's called O, YES I CAN! *yes note the pun.
and it just brightens up my day watching what she comes up with..

AND... it worked!!!

And her show has a CAT!

i wish i had one.
but mom tells me, if i ever bring one home,
"just watch out what end's up in the curry."
i sure hope she was just joking.

talking about something different...

I found out that some of the people in camp are just filthy rich.
One's pocket money for a year can just buy a car, and....
stays 5 minutes away from THE CATHAY.
One has at least $300 in $50 notes in his wallet,
One has studied in england right after pri.6 all the way...
to his A'levels, and is returning to england to do medcine,
stays in bukit timah 6, has his own car... a volkswagen beetle.

you just wonder.. with a little jealousy.
how do they end up like that?

i reminded myself again that god has his own plans,
giving us what we need, and looking after us...

"when you pray for courage?
does he just give it to you or
does he give you a chance to show it?"

I want to go prawning... .... .... ... .... ....

2009-03-13T09:50:00.005+08:00

the one year soldier.

It's amazing how i got through half of the sentence.
I remembered how i struggled to breath due to the constrain.
the constrain of freedom.
I thank god for pulling me through when I was depressed.
I thank my family for giving me support when I was down.
I thank my friends for injecting life in me when I almost lost my soul.
Things has changed.
My weight.
My perspective in life.
My dreams.

I will still be me. just slightly different i guess.
let's see if another year of this will kill the real me.

2009-02-03T21:21:00.003+08:00

Things that kelvin wants to spend my angpow money on:
1) 2 bags. one sling. one backpack.
thinking of getting a stylish light/dark brown sling one.
any suggestions?
2) buying his want list cds,
which is totally impossible because he's so fickle minded.
maybe get some of them... hmmm. which should i start with?
3) ~~a really good pair of earphones/headphones.~~
i'm fed up of my stupid apple earphones already. sucky.
i'm searching for wireless ones. i'm quite sick of wires as well.
even if so, audio technica and Senheiser should be fine i guess?
any recommendations? looking for stylish ones. hehe.
4) left-over singles of yuna ito. i must complete the whole set.
5) clothes? shoes? .... ....

i guess sometimes all I need is just some patience.
working to the dreams, to the future, to the life.

Dilemmas

I managed to talk to Auntie Yvonne about my future prospects.
I’m planning to take up Hotel Management as a degree.
But she feels that it’s rather too early to specialize, in which I may be
taking risks of not having a wider choice of jobs.

She suggests that I take Business Admin, or Commerce, after I find what I’m comfortable then I specialize, at least I would still have my Business Admin to be my safety net if I can’t find jobs in my specialization. But if I do that I would need more years, I’m already going 21. Auntie Yvonne says I’m still young. 25 is the actual age where life actually starts. Really? … … …

Another part of me thinks of going to be a restaurateur. I’ve already got 2 concepts. One, Organic garden. I grow my own crops. I love gardening and plants. Two, jazz garden. But that would most prob only work when I’ve my earned my capital from my day job? I want people to enjoy and have good food. A dream of a foodie.

I’m still thinking through. I need professional advice. –worried-

I should start dating? I’m 21. I’ve yet to get myself into a relationship. That kinda makes me a loser right? Well, the loser part doesn’t really bother me. But it’s the part where I’m freaking 21. I should have gotten myself into something already right? This is so abnormal. I pray to god.

2009-01-04T17:45:00.003+08:00

2008 sum up.

I finished my diploma.
I got enlisted first.
I lost some weight.
I overcame the fear of driving manual vehicles.
I almost went crazy, losing my mind.
I prayed to god and he let me come back to my senses.
I watched my classmates one by one get enlisted.
I saw life in many prespectives.
I went to australia for an army excercise.
I went to HK for a short getaway.
I organized a christmas party, it made me happy.
I found I got much much closer with some friends.
I found some drifted away...
I finished up the year with laughes and lots of photos.

the next year?
i really hope it goes fast and eventful, making life
full of memories and fun!.

Studio Ghibli, Inc.
I can't express my love for this animation studio.
The people there are the ones responsible for my love for anime films.
Actually to think of it, i only watch their anime films.
I hardly take notice of other anime productions,
unless they really catch my eye.

I know some of you are going like HUH????????????
ok. This studio is responsible of creating anime films such as
SPIRITED AWAY. HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE.
MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO. THE CAT RETURNS.
and more recently,
Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

I'm SOoooo.. watching this!

I love their productions so much that
I'm now on the search for the collection box.
BUT.. it's sold out even online. *sad*
http://www.yesasia.com/global/1003739698-0-0-0-en/info.html
If anyone knows where I can find it, please tell ME!!!
I'm looking for Japanese Version with Eng Subs.

UPDATE!
I think I might have just found the solution!
I found it on Ebay! HERE!

2008-12-25T18:08:00.003+08:00

I have to say, I was quite happy how the party turned out.

Everyone was with laughter, having fun, opening their unexpected gifts.
I also loved the part where only me, ken, mizael were left and
we chatted/gossiped with red wine, chocolates, left over turkey.

I hope the food was ok with everyone.
it better be. i bought and cooked almost all the food.

marcus for the vanilia ice cream,
dad & mum for sponsoring the turkey and letting me use the house...

who expressed their interest, tried their best but couldn't attend.

They all threw me a birthday surprise at my own house lah!
In the morning, Kat called me and said that she will be coming up
my house to use my toliet, claiming that her bladder is bursting.
Because Ci Hao was supposed to be driving and fetching the guys
and to pick me up, and go somewhere to have fun.
So here's a video of what they did.

I also want to thank my parents

HK DAY! haha.
Well, i don't know what will happen but
let's just see how. haha.
Will update once i'm back....
till then.....

2008-11-16T19:52:00.002+08:00

Thanks for the concern guys.
Well those problems i mentioned before, they are basically solved.
I got my leave approved! *yay!
Meaning i'm officially going to HK next sat! *yay! x 2
Meaning i will NOT spend my birthday in camp! *yay! x 3
I'm not going back to tekong anytime soon. sometime next year instead. *yay! x 4
Meaning i'm officially able to return back to penang for CNY *yay! x 5

BUT...
i'm still stuck with my irritating supervisor.*BOOOOOO!!!!! x N
but recent arising rumours within the unit abt him getting promoted
then posted out seems EXTREMELY promising!!!*cross fingers*

within this week, i've watched that 007 movie and the sequel animal movie.
i have to say, i'm extremely entertained by the movies.
no complains at all!!!
Being in the green brotherhood for quite some time already..
I just don't have the mind to criticise anymore.
I just want my freedom back.
Even LY was commenting i'm like becoming more stupid.
die.

I've actually planned what i shall immediately do after i ORD.
While waiting for my degree course to start,
1) I shall find a mon to fri, 8am-5pm job.
2) Join a hip hop dance class, once per week @ night.
2) Join a japanese language class, once per week @ night.
*i got a recomendation from a friend, $480 for the whole year.
every week once. isn't it such a DEAL!!!
3) Have a gym membership and get a trainer, twice a week @ night.

Last but most importantly,
4) save enough money for a self expense trip to japan for a week? maybe.
hopefully by the sept, oct? or the end of 2010.

anyone interested in the trip?
tell me....... haha..

2008-11-09T16:41:00.002+08:00

I'm back.
since last week.. hehe.
i had a sudden fever/cold on the past friday,
luckily my mom forced me to see the doc's.
But the next morning, i had ultraman eyes.
The drugs prescribed got me allergies.
damn. *feaking ultraman*
It all got me in a bad mood yesterday, and even this morning.
I couldn't understand everything that happened and
that was going to happen.
I'm stuck with the worst superior i've ever met.
I'm going back to tekong for BMT in dec 3rd. (gasp!)
I can't go back to penang during CNY.
I'm still not sure if my that SOAB superior of mine is going to let me
take the last week of november off to go to HK with my family.
Everything kinda crashed down since i wasn't in the state of mind,
but thankfully, while i was cleaning up the house just now,
i kinda got through the whole thing.
Kinda thinking like,
'let them come and i will deal with them,
since they are going to come anyway.'
Just like that.
Thank god.

2008-10-06T12:09:00.002+08:00

Away......

Hey guys!
I'm gonna be away for almost a month in australia.
Not for fun but for some green brotherhood thing.
Flying off today, returning on the 28th.
I'm going to really miss home.
Wish me luck and hope i just pull through this.
Take care guys!

Kel.

2008-09-21T18:02:00.003+08:00

Music.

Mariah’s E=MC2 album is getting me so hooked.
I’m really in love with the hopefully upcoming single off the album,
“Migrate”! Part of the lyrics may be plain crazy but
I just love the beats and how Mariah actually uses
her whistle register to intro the song. COOL~~~!!!

Since I’m already blabbering about her...
Here’s a compilation of Mariah commercials for E=MC2 promotion for MTV:
The 1st half , Mariah singing live versions of the new songs,
1) I’m That Chick 2) Migrate 3) Love Story 4) Touch My Body
The 2nd half features absolutely stunning and hilarious spoofs
of her and her dog, JJ. (JJ’s voice dubbed by Snoop Dogg)
Enjoy! *Be patient and wait for the 2nd half*

I just love the part where she sings higher and higher in the whistle register
and her dog goes "Still sounds low to me..." HAHA!!!

Also, as you are reading this, BoA is getting ready for her debut in the
AMERCIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY. I have to say I’m quite shocked to hear this
but I think it might work for her. It might.
Tell me what you think of her debut single, “EAT YOU UP”.
Here are 2 versions of teasers of the music video…

Teaser (Version A)

Teaser (Version B)

Don't you think version B can qualify for a scene in the STEP UP movies?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going to Australia for Excercise soon.
6 Oct 2008 to 28 Oct 2008.. Away on Haitus.
It's with the dreaded green brotherhood.
Should I be afraid or excited?
I don't even know.

2008-09-21T17:54:00.003+08:00

The Last Lecture.

I've recently been reading this book,
"The Last Lecture" by Randy Paush.

Imagine this.
You are going to leave the world in a short time even after a successful
win in the battle againist cancer. Your cancer has returned for the 2nd time.
You are to give a lecture, and this may be your last one.
What is it going to be about?

I really like this book.
An inspiration to dream big and not be afraid to make your way to it.
And where there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel,
your faith will lead the way.

I recommend it.

2008-09-21T17:39:00.002+08:00

The Green Monster

I wonder if life in the green brotherhood is going to kill me.
The 2 year sentence is like being chained to this huge green monster.
No matter where you go it just haunts you.
At the movies, out shopping, enjoying a fancy dinner with the family.
The green monster peers over my shoulder and throws tantrums of jealousy,
as it observes my short moments of enjoyment and pleasure.
The thing decides to put a stop to my smile, placing a time bomb in my head.
Immediate thunderstorms in my bright sunny day.
It laughs sadistically as I pull my dragging feet to its den.

I term the green yuck as disturbia.

I think I lost myself.

2008-08-16T13:57:00.002+08:00

I've recorded something sometime in the
morning i had at home. I really like the song.

It's 原来你就在我身边 by 萧闳仁.

And i tried my take on it. haha. SUPRISE!!
Hope you guys won't mind the flaws on it. hahaha.

12 lotus! :) and Away for 8 days:(

I actually can't believe my luck ever since
all those days back in camp for the past few weeks.
I was given premiere tickets for the movie ...............................................................
................................................
...............................
............
.....
...
.
12 LOTUS!
Thanks to the peeps of yanziunlimited!
you guys rock!

The main cast of the show were in attendance at the red carpet.
too bad yanzi wasn't there. She guest stars in the movie.
suprise!! suprise!! suprise!! suprise!!

The director, Royston. Qi Yi Wu, Mindee Ong, Sister Ling Ling.
Yi Wu has no diva attitude lor. Even like after his
interview on the red carpet, he still poses and happily
lets his fans take pictures. But maybe he just loves the
attention. hehe. jkjk lah.

I actually like the movie. It's a song made into a movie.
It follows the actual 12 lotus song.
I rate it a 4 stars upon 5. Recommended.

OH! OH! I almost forgot!
I scored a photo with NAT HO!!
HAHA! I don't understand why am i so excited over it
but man I'm taking photos with the stars!!!
hahaha.. too crazy... hehe.. pardon me.

So much abt the happy event of today, now comes the
depressing part. I'm going on a 8 days field camp.
I didn't really thought i would dread 8 days.

I love my 8 days!

Well, hope to get maybe 2 days off after the field camp.
which i feel may be not possible. i pray it is possible.

In the meanwhile, you haven't heard the last of me.
Take care everyone.

2008-08-09T23:16:00.003+08:00

35 more days...

It's going to be half a year since I enlisted.
Everybody asks me how is it like.
I used to be able to reply easily that it's still alright but recently, i'm becoming

more and more depressed about it. I feel like i do things mindless-ly.
"Where's the meaning to all this?"
I've thought about this question and I have faith that god
has planned all this as of a purpose,
For now, it's for him to know and for me to find out in the future.
Which i somehow can't stand.

The happy and go lucky kelvin has moved away.
I pray that he moves back soon.

I hardly have time for myself. The record breaking
number of hours out of camp for a week was 9 hours.
how lovely.

I watch my friends one by one enlist.
JH, Sheng, Lin Yi, Malcome?... ...

Jeff, YW, Sze Ho, Ernest, Ben... they are next.
Even jeff is feeling the depression. I'm worried for him.

I can't even believe LY loves the lifestyle.

I sometimes even can't find time to hang out with all my friends.
And sometimes hardly my family.

I need my real life back......................

and my album cravings are getting bigger and bigger. DAMN!!!!!

2008-07-05T17:13:00.005+08:00

Well. It's been a while since i promised my update.
But seriously this week is really killing me.

Life in camp is just crazy. not as in good crazy but,

crazy crazy, i'm going into depression.
I felt like i couldn't breathe

But here's a compacted version of how things have been.
1) I've graduated from NYP. :)

I was having mixed feelings at that time though.
Cause one minute, i'm thankful for finally completing
the diploma course, the next minute, i just couldn't
bear to leave, with so many memories.

The friends i've met at NYP,
The places i've spend my time in,

the food... hehe.. *greedy me*

I'm also wanted to thank my parents for coming down

to attend the ceremony, cause it's really a big deal for me,
to show them what i've actually acomplished,
and let them know i didn't just waste away their money.

....... more to come

2008-04-27T17:01:00.005+08:00

Did you imagine this boy
would have gone from this?

To this... ...

I didn't think so too.

The boy was rather happy that everybody thought
he was a cute thing. Little did he know that the future
packed 30kg of lard, humiliation for the next 15 years
of his life, all ready to go nicknames of any thing
associated with pig, fat and also... hmmm..
oh yeah big heavy elephants.. don't forget the
so loveable hippo!

He thought it was ok.
The weight continued to go up and so did everything.
The question: "Have you tried losing weight?"
It kept bugging him. He could also provide you with
alternatives such as:
"woah. getting fatter le leh."
"so fat le still eat!".
"haven't lose weight yet ah."
He wasn't even happy a bit.
Why couldn't people just give him more
encourgement?

But he's now thankful for the hurtful things
which some of his friends even had said before,
because he's decided that he doesn't want to
live that lardy, pudgey life anymore.

*more to be updated*

2008-04-27T14:36:00.005+08:00

Is Kelvin dead or something?
Sadly, he's not.

I've been busy with the transitions of being
moved from camp to camp.
It's tiring. Other than the usual camp stuff,
there's always the weekends to look out for.
Like the ones for the pass 2 weeks..

PAL gathering @ Azabu Sabo
All of us were talking, bitching, yaking
joking all around. It's always so much action.
And the food's great too! Esp the dessert!
We were also playing with Kat's sunglasses,

everyone taking a chance at being glam. haha.
*Picture below credit to Mizeal Poh*

*yum yum* nice! the orgasmic red bean paste!

05 peeps @ NEW YORKx2 !
I can't believe we all are still able to meet,
since we all finished our NYP life.
And i can't wait for graduation. 21st March!!!

I was busy taking tons of pictures.
We were all joking about carine and yi wei being together,
jeff's-growing more and more like mushroom-hair,
yi wei's-what happened?-hair,
the cotton candy is the same colour as yi wei's carine's shirts.
lots more were shared on the joyful? gathering,
like who was enlisted in june and july,
*Congrats to YS, Zeya, JH and LY!*
who got got a place in uni?,
*congrats to carine and hui min!!!*

who worked where and how was it?

I hope for more such gatherings to come.

As for me, I'm currently on course and won't be
available during weekdays as due to the stay in.
But luckily, the course is interesting...

At least life is not so boring for me as a NSman.
I'm starting to try to appreciate it.
So God please help me, and till next time.

take care guys!

2 week confinement is over!

But sadly, it's the day of the week
where i have to book in..
yet again.

Oh yes. i promised pictures.

i actually quite like the botak thing. haha.
Cause it's cooling and you don't have
to bother if the wind blows. HA!

That was taken on eve of good friday.
If i'm not mistaken..
the hair has grown slightly longer,
and i'm slightly tanner. i think.

Mum was telling me when i booked out for this
weekend that my face kinda sharpened.
*grins happily*

I've just met up with Malcom, Huda,
Jin Hong, Yi Wei, Jeff, and of course,
fellow recruit Marcus Lim yesterday.
It was really nice to just update each other
what were we doing presently,
joking all around with each other
and for me and marcus,
just bitch about what goes on in camp.
haha.

Everyone sees me and marcus,
the 1st thing would be to just
start touching our botak heads.

oh yes! The movie, Vantage point is actually not bad.
but spoiler here. There's a repeated rewinding
of the scenes which can be rather irritaing.
But the plot just makes me forget the flaw.
amazing stuff.

I just can't wait for next weekend when
I'm meeting the rest of 0505 peeps.
Then also, the senior PAL peeps!
Whee~~~

2 and a half more hours to book in...

2008-03-21T13:41:00.003+08:00

army boy status.

I'm back since yesterday night, and
now I've only like about 5 more hours
before i go back to Tekong.

Life there is kinda boring yet fun?
There are alot of stuff i can't say,
so yeah. Just ask me some other time.

I didn't realise how much i missed home.
I feel extremely home-y now.

Well, just wanted to let those enlisting soon
know that you will kinda suffer under the
1st week of BMT if you are enlisting soon.
But don't worry..
after that, it starts to become fun.
I guess...
And of course by the end of BMT,
you will look HOT. haha.

gotta go continue enjoying my house,
before booking in again.
Till next week when i book out.........

2008-03-04T02:05:00.011+08:00

2) stuck on you.

... screw it. all of them are recommended.
love yuna-chan!!!

I love her so much, I'm already trying to collect
all her singles and albums. I've bascially collected
all her albums but I stilll have a long way to go to
collect all her singles, which I myself sometimes think
it's crazy as well that I've started this frenzy to
collect all her singles. hehe.

However, Yuna-chan might have a strong competitor
coming up FEIRCE!
Stephanie (*not stefanie sun)
Watch as she works her 5-octave voice!

*there's a short introduction of her:
"Born in California, USA.
At present attend university in Japan.
She has a five-octave vocal range."

Enough of J-pop, in the mandopop world...
Aska 楊宗緯 is getting my attention with his
song, 洋蔥 [Onion].

I love the lyrics which A-shin from Mayday have
written beautifully... esp the chorus area:
盤底的洋蔥像我永遠是調味品
偷偷的看著你偷偷的隱藏著自己

如果你願意一層一層一層的剝開我的心
你會發現你會訝異你是我最壓抑最深處的秘密

如果你願意一層一層一層的剝開我的心
你會鼻酸你會流淚只要你能聽到我看到我的全心全意

The onion at the bottom of the pot is like me,
forever used only as seasoning.
Only able to observe you secretly,
hiding my true self.

If you are willing to tear my heart layer by layer,
you will find and be suprised,
you're my darkest, deepest secret.

If you are willing to tear my heart layer by layer,
Emotions will rush through you,
you will start tearing after you listen
and see my whole-hearted feelings for you.

I was simply taken away by this song and I'm recomending
this song to everyone and also... you

I've stop my singing lessons for quite some time already,
and I'm starting to gain back the nasal part of my voice.
Don't start being happy for me cause that is a bad sign.
And damn it. took me quite some time to get rid of it.
I don't wanna sound like Kelvin Tan, my friend says I do
when I have that nasal voice.

My wish.
Being able to produce and come out with an album
that is 100% composed of my ideas, concepts & thoughts.
Music that will revolutionize the Mandopop scene.
Music to reach to those people out there.
Music to let me show my other sides.
Music to be me.

2008-03-04T00:42:00.004+08:00

Clearing the Dust...

I'm finally back.
Life passed way to fast to let me date.
Since my birthday last year,
1) Grandpa passed away.
2) I went to taiwan.
3) Celebrated christmas on the way back to S'pore.
4) Spend the last day of 2007 in my M'sia Home.
5) Aunty 润琼 passed away, after watching her health,
deteriorating week by week.
6) Went back to Penang to celebrate CNY 2008.
7) Studied like hell for the final exams.
8) Then poof! the exams are over?

and in another 9 days, I'm going to be in tekong school 1.
I feel like just shouting WTH.
But i'm going to make sure that life is going to be
way better in the next few years.
I'm going to make sure i lose all that weight in NS.
I want to wear clothes without feeling all frumpy.
I want to look good.
I want people to stop giving all those sterotyping.

And I'm going to make sure I'm working towards what I want.
Choices that I'm deciding on:
1) Nutritionist
2) Dietitian
3) Hotel Manager
4) Researcher
5) Food Technologist.
6) Chef
I'm having a hard time.
God, please show me where to go.

I'm working on my next few posts already.
All about the past events and 1st up will be
the music that I'm into now...

2007-12-19T02:47:00.000+08:00

Well, another few more hours before i need
to head for the airport...

I'm going to TAIWAN!!!
WHOO~~!!!

And i'll be taking photos with my newly aquired

SONY T200!!!
Thanks mum and dad!
I promise i will keep this with me all the time.

Before i M.I.A. for 7 days,
let me show you all what i've been up too.

On the past monday,
Carine, anne and I did 2 interviews with Spa owners

as part of our Bio-enterprise project.

The 1st Spa was NIBBLES!
It's freaking cool.
After the interview with the owner, the owner offered

us to try their Doctor Fish Therapy on our feet, with a

20% discount. The usual price is $13.

We got it for $10 per person.

Of course we agreed, with that we travelled all the way

to Chinatown, where it's located.

I swear you guys should try it.
It really works.
Your feet feels so good after the therapy session

which lasts to about 30 minutes, in which one of

the therapists there will ask you to take your feet

out as to avoid "over-soaking" of the feet.

There's this rose tea too which was very soothing,

and the ambience is just right, with the gentle music

in the background.

Although you may just cringe when the fish just nibbles

your feet at the itchy parts. haha.

The second spa we went to was KIM's SPA!
Although we didn't get any free treatments (so cheapo

of me), it was very worth it.
Angeline, the spa director shared with us her

experience in which i felt i really needed to hear.

The spa is so high end. The spa packages they have

can go all the way to near $2000.
The most amazing part is that Kim's Spa has not

done any type of advert in mag, newspaper, flyers.
Only by the word of mouth.
I can hardly believe it and they have more that 3,000

customers?

siao.hehe.

2007-12-17T00:19:00.000+08:00

The common tests are OVER!
Thankful for the sleep i'm being given back!

And last saturday night i lost my virginity.

*GASP!*

my virginity of clubbing,
as to what melf will say.

I'm now officially ZOUK-ED!

Other than the sardine can packing of crowds,
and the occasional pukes you see.
I love the R&B room!!!
*Quote Sun Ho's Chine Wine: "Dance all my thoughts away!"
Amy Winehouse, Britney, Rihanna, Timberland, Justin T.,
Ne-yo, Chris Brown, Akon, One Republic...
Oh yes. Everyone was like singing along to 'Apologize'.
I love that song too.
Kenneth heart One Republic.

Talking about Sun Ho's China Wine,
I'm not sure if anyone has seen it before:
Here's what Sun Ho's been up to in US.

Shocked!?
Well, I shall find some other time to comment about it.

I think most prob I will get my new camera tmr.
Mum and dad has given me the green light to get it,
in place of my birthday preset.
Thanks mum and dad.

Song of the Moment: So Close - Jon Mclaughlin (Enchanted OST)

2007-12-11T09:11:00.000+08:00

Ah gong,
I'm sorry.
I may not be able to go back
to see you for the last time.
I'm really sorry.
Mum, dad, sis has gone back.

I only finish my tests this friday.
And you will already be buried
by the time i reach there.

Please forgive me.

I promise i will work extra hard
for the common tests.

Quan.

2007-12-10T21:01:00.000+08:00

Grandpa just passed away today.
Between 11am to 12pm.
His soul left the earth's surface peacefully.

I miss you, Ah Gong.

I'm thankful that i returned back to penang
to visit you before school started.

Ah Gong,
I still remember when all the cousins, sis and
I were still small, you would buy tons of fire
crackers for us to play during chinese new year.
Esp those that you just throw on the floor,
and there would be a loup pop sound.
Whenever I see those in Johor,
I will think of you.

I always loved going back to penang,
because of I can always hear laughter from
your house and i love the warmness there was
among everyone in the family.

I always have this certain degree of difficulty
of understanding you when you speak hokkien
and on purpose, you would use that to make fun of me.

I'm not sure if you could have heard me when
you landed in the hospital in during Chinese New Year
this year. I whispered while you were asleep
that you can't die just yet, everyone still wanted to
celebrate another CNY with you.

And Ah Ma would just be so lonely.

You and Ah Ma used to visit us when you had better health.
and i would see you and ah ma being so bored, most of the time,
normally by what our family do.
Ah ma at least had you to talk with.

But now, I think it's almost impossible that she would
wanna come down and visit us alone.

This seems very bad of me.
But I had a gut feeling last night when i tried to sleep,
you may just leave us. I had a difficult time trying to sleep
for today's test paper.
And sure, today's paper was abit screwed up.

Ah gong, thanks for everything.
You have been a great grandpa.
I love you and i will miss you.

Take care, ah gong.

铨铨 Quan quan.

2007-12-08T17:56:00.000+08:00

I'm getting irritated by people who think they know who i am.
they think they know what i think.
they think they know how i feel.
they think they know.

Presuming how i react.

You know i watched this madtv production,
this character was going
"Shut Up! You don't know me!"

and i always want to say that.

No one knows me well enough.
With the exception of my family.
But I hope people try to understand me.

I do my part in understanding people too.

I'm dissapointed.

2007-12-04T00:05:00.000+08:00

it was really a suprise today.
didn't expect a cake today. haha.
wait. it's 12.51am now.
So it shld be expect a cake yesterday.
Well. i've got less than 24 hrs to my big day.

It was all cake, water and i got caked!
and not to mention splashed!

But it was rather fun. better than a normal sing a long birthday song.

My class guys tricked me into believing
SL fainted in the toliet.
Well i really believed it!
And almost everyone knows why right?

Of course i have to rush in and really check if it's all right.
And later i know it.
A cake comes out of the cubicle.
Ok. it sounds wrong but it really did.
And for the first time,
a birthday song in the girls toliet.

ys has to spray me with the water and
i was abt to clean up abit.
a pail of water slashed across half of my body.
courtesy of ben, in revenge of him being sabo-ed in
fish n co. during his birthday.

but the messiest part had to be the cake.
jh and yi wei were ready to cake me.
well, i had too. otherwise not fun le.
But i managed to cake jh back.

The washing up as terrible and i smelled rather bad.
But it was all worth the fun.
Nest, you're next!!!
Michelle also!

counting down to my birthday!
WHEE~~~!!!

ps: i was 0.5 points away from the finals.
ARGH! i was ranked no. 11 in the auditions.
WHY~~~~!!!!????

2007-11-27T22:24:00.000+08:00

It's somehow ironic i wore the Mr Happy T-shirt today.
I didn't get into the finals. It's though i was laughing at
myself.

I got the sms that confirmed that i wasn't chosen for the
finals during driving my driving lesson today.

I couldn't even drive properly. For 2 years in a row,
i've been rejected.

But why? WHY? I didn't sound good enough?
I didn't dress up properly meh? I'm too fat?
I'm ugly?

Or

Could it be the competition is so strong?
If the competition is so strong here in NYP,
what chance i have for other competitions outside?

It's such an emo day, and there i go with my Mr Happy T-shirt.
I suck.

2007-11-24T00:03:00.000+08:00

Well. I'm going to blog abit before I go sleep.

I swear that I love MADTV!!!
Their videos are so de-stressing.

Basically MADTV is a comedy sketch programe
in the US, on FOX. And they bring up the most
ridiculous stuff that is happening in the world,
and make them into laughs, through skits by their
damn good actors and actresses.

Things they make fun of?

1) Apple Products [Steve Jobs]
iPhone Parody:

"He's an iWITCH! He must be destroyed!"

Apple iRACK? Parody:

" The iRACK looks like it doesn't want anything in there!"

FIEST 1234 Parody of Apple/Steve Jobs: They iSCREWED me!

"1,2,3,4 went to an Apple store,
Got myself an ipod,
that i paid a 100 dollars for,
And just after my purchase was done,
those Apple bastards introduced a new one!
OH oh oh..
They keep changing the iPod!
OH oh oh.. "

It's just hilarious!

other stuff they make fun of,...

2) Hollywood Celebrities
Nelly Furtado: Promiscuous girl "Syphilis Girl"

"Every Guy I sleep with says the same thing,
you've got a rash on ur ding-a-ling?"

Shakira: Whenever, Whereever "Whenever, Don't Matter"

"Time to crawl, into the mud!"

Gwen Stefani: The Sweet Escape "Aren't the Asians Great?"

"They always try something new,
like a robot that puts on ur shoe."

Hilary Duff: Beat of My Heart "Sake of My Fame"

"Have you seen Lindsay?
She's a size minus 3.
To fill up her pants,
you need 2 Nicole Richies!"

Destiny's Child: Emotion "Beyoncé"

"Who will look at the other 2,
when you have Beyoncé~~.."

Other than that..

3) TV/Reality Shows
Desperate Housewives

"What is it, Bree?
you found a airplane crashed on your forehead this morning?
Forehead?
More like a five-head?"

HEROES

"AH HA! GOT CHA!"

LOST

"I keep hearing strange noises.
*Noise*
That's it! That's the noise!"

Funny isn't it?
One last video for you all.

You have heard of Tickle me Elmo.
What about Tickle me EMO?

"I hate you too!
You're not the only one with issues!"

2007-11-19T19:32:00.000+08:00

The stress has taken a toll on me.
I'm so tensed with everything.

But i'm sincerly grateful for the groupmates
i have for the bio-enterprise project.
All of them have been very co-operative.
Thank you guys.

I've been having mixed feelings.

there's
-i'm so stupid, idotic, clumsy- feeling,
-why can't i meet up to everyone's expectations- feeling,
-can that person come forward?- feeling,
-god, please lead and guide me- feeling,
-I'm depressed but I must stand strong- feeling,

There's much more, but i just can't describe them.

Well, back to studying.
I'm determined to pass Donny's test.

急流出血，伤口扩大，悲感疼痛，依然沉默。

2007-11-18T13:53:00.000+08:00

The nerves are getting the hell of me again.
It's another 2 days to the auditions!
After the auditions, i need to meet up with
the Minister Gan Kim Yong.

To discuss about?

Globalisation and Employment - A Youth Perspective.

I wonder how does he even prepare for it.
I mean a few of us who are meeting him can just
shoot him any random question like?

Erm.
ok.
I don't know.

I'm still stuck in my m'sia home.
Waiting for my parents to come back from my
mum's hometown, Segamat and bring me and my
sis back to S'pore.

Lucky there's internet and my SGF notes.

Speaking about which.
The freaking SFG test is like in 2 days.

I've got a feeling of -study for what sia- mood.

Yong Chai was telling me, despite him studying very
hard for the test, he still failed.
As well like like erm, 97% of people who took the test as well?

I'll screw Donny Liang if i fail.

argh.

Even i found that to be in bad taste. *puke*

Damn the timing she set for the test at well.
I finish class at like 12pm i think.
The test is 5-6pm.

Double argh.

2007-11-12T20:24:00.000+08:00

It's like the 5th week of school.
And i'm already getting damn stressed out.
With like piles of science papers to read,
tons of tests, with 8 projects going on at the same time.

argh.

I even went on adding my load with Orion.
For the 3rd time in 3 years i've been joining.
The first year was rather a suprise,
i got into the top 10 soloists for the finals.
althought i thought i sure did terribly then.

With great expectation, comes great disspointment.
I thought getting through the auditions was
going to be just a breeze. Was i wrong.
I didn't even pass it.

Well, i'm going to work my ass for this audition
coming up in a week or so.
I'm still deciding for the song i'm gonna perform.

Though my throat has not been giving in,
i shouted and screamed my voice horse last thursday,
watching how the the Diva of Mandopop,
A*Mei brought the house down in the indoor stadium.

It's silly but i've decided the song i'm gonna perfom
when I get into the finals, during A*mei's concert.
I'm getting so over-confident again. But i was so inspired
when she performed that song.

-------------------------------------------------------

Trying to be everyone's friend have proved to be difficult.
You've gotta try to understand everyone and how they work,
how they react to things, and how they think, and handle situations
to compromise everyone.

I'm still trying to get the hang of it.

You get so hurt when people misunderstand your intentions,
you can't help it but only to try to make amendments.

I just ask to be more patient with me.

But there are times, it's too over.
Being blamed for something you didn't do?
What the hell? I'm pissed with upmost anger.

2007-10-11T00:00:00.000+08:00

I remembered the secondary school days,
the sound of last bell ring for the day.
Felt like 10kg worth of rocks thrown off my chest.
School dismissal time.
-Happy-

School kids happily chat in cliques,
playing a fool, walking on their grandfather's road.
I'm learning how to drive.
School dismissal time.
-shit, what a bitch-

Driving lessons always end so quickly,
I hardly even feel 2 hours ticking away.
It was as though i was just in the car for 30 minutes.

-------------------------------------------------------

An old lady, estimated to be 80plus years old,
weights a hell lot like stefanie sun, with a wrinkled smile.
Yet she's able to speak fluently in english, hokkien, canto, mandrin.
and push a near 40kg worth of old newspapers on a trolley.

She had difficulty controlling it down a slope,
I had to help.

As i watched her continue pushing the trolley at end
of the slope, I thought of my ah ma back in penang.

-------------------------------------------------------

I don't know who in SCL decided that students should
print their notes. But i know something. That person is
a bitch. I totally hate it. Plus CMS isn't really helping too.
and seriously CMS's so much more efficient after it's revamp.

Even the bookshop aunties was complaining how stupid it is,
when one by one of us come down printing the same damn
lecture notes. Besides the point that the bookshop auntie
has less money to earn. Why not the lecturers send a copy to
the bookshop, and they print for the whole cohort?

Oh yes, that's because they want us to make use of CMS?
Seriously.

After a well deserved long break, I've decided that
it has been long overdue for me to return back to
blogging again.

The whole Australian trip has been nothing but
an eye opening trip of excitement. I spent 2 mths
and 3 weeks in Brisbane and the last week in Tasmania.

I shall eleborate more about my expedition in
the next posts. And for the time being, i won't be able
any current pictures as I was busying with the
Wang Lee Hom Campus Event, my DEAR
(Sony T100 camera) got S.T.O.L.E.N.

Furthermore, I've worked my ass off for the concert,
running everywhere where i'm needed. I got rather
confused when i discovered my camera got stolen.
My emotions fell to a state of extreme depression.
A part of my memories had just been washed off.

The camera contained pictures of the sentosa outing
I went with MI.KE. ME. , Ci Hao, Meow, JiaYI and his gf.

Miss L was asking me if i would have felt better if I
still had the photos. Here's the answer.

Yes. I would have.

As a more sucidial side of me sat in a corner in my mind,
the more seriously annoyed side started searching my
recollections, cursing and swearing that the thief gets
banged down by a car, and hopefully, with enough damage,
end up as a vegtable and die just after 10 years in a coma.

I prayed for forgiveness eventually after cooling down.

Even after a search, I couldn't gain back what i've lost.

I felt brain dead.

The confusion was starting to set in.

How could someone in the backstage do it?
I knew them too well.
Would a friend steal another friend's memories,
just for the sake of the luxury?

I can imagine who among the people i know would
say yes.

2007-08-16T07:38:00.000+08:00

What Do You DO?
I'm very sorry for the very lag in the

Some updates on how things are now.

DAAAATAAAA!!!

And i had a hair cut too!
The rest says i like never cut my hair like that.
-argh-
But the hairstylist made it look so nice!
I was very happy for the rest of the day,
until i washed my hair and it looked like shit,

no matter how i tried to style it.
-argh again-
Here's how it looked like before:

I'm so sorry that i've been kinda neglecting
the rest of my friends on my previous post,

so here's a
SUPER
DUBER
SHOUT

Huda, Michelle, Carine,

and of course many more,
i can't really think now.
So pai seh to those that your names
has not been mentioned.

I'm returning in 2 weeks.
YIPEE!!!

Also,
My sister sent me a parcel,
before she went to vienna for

her summer sch student exchange,
on the 9th? of July.
It only reached me one month later,
3rd of August, the day we set off for gold coast.
Thank you Singapore POST!
*NOTE THE BIG ASS PUN!*

And no i couldn't be the australian post people,
as Nicole mentions it take only like 3-4 days for
mail to reach singapore. -bleh-

oh yes. Kenneth was asking me:
"Are you actually on attachment?"
hehe. Cause it's like if i keep posting
attachment pics very sian lah. hehe.
So here are the pics of some of the stuff
that happens:

Basically, i'm working the anerobic bacteria stuff,
so sometimes we would be required to do the culturing

in the anerobic chamber, it's this big bubble full of hydrogen,
nitrogen gas. and you will have the wear that gloves
which makes you extremely clumsy. I don't really like
using the hood.

And sometimes we have Prof. Bharat guiding us in
some of the culturing techniques:

He's really a very nice person.
Lucky kena him.

On 02/08, it was
SZE HO's BIRTHDAY!!!
We went to raid his room, when
he was asleep at 12.08am.
it's was freaking funny.
there's actually a video for it.
but stupid youtube states only
can upload 100mb. wah lao.

What actually happened was that,
when he was asleep,
we crept into his room,

and tried using ways to make him wake up
, such as using Zeya's radioactive socks and
wave it in from of his face, also using lettuce
(Sze Ho's biggest enemy) to stuff into the mouth,
which did make him wake up.
He was kinda shocked. I guess.
Ask the video from me.
That's if you can catch me.
WUAHAHAHAHA..
-hehe-

Sze Ho, a few minutes into his birthday.

The rest of us. The guilty.

And while some of us tried to distract him,
marcus and sze ho, tried to give him a suprise,

in his shoes.

hehe. I don't know if you can see it,
it's actually lettuce stuffed in his shoes.

Later in the day, after our attachment,
we proceeded to Garden City to actually
do our usual groceries..
During dinner, we all decided to suprise
Sze Ho and Gerri with their birthday gifts.
Gerri's birthday is 6 days after Sze Ho.

The present was actually for gerri,
but marcus tricked Sze ho into thinking that it's
his present. Hehe. how evil.

Then we later revealed the present was for gerri,
which totally shocked her. Sze Ho was -diao-.

And this time, we tricked Sze Ho again,

by giving him a packet of plastic toys,
Cowboy vs Indians as a 'real present'
which costs only $1. LOL!!!

We also state he must play with the toys,
in order to get his REAL present.
In which he embaressingly did,
and Ben also joined in the fun.

And this is a short video of Sze Ho
finally receiving the real present,
but he was given a challenge,
to guess what was his present, otherwise..

Later in the night we suprised them again,
with a cake. A chocolate fudge cake.
It was extremely good.

We couldn't find any smaller
candles. So. Opps. hehe.

Then we had to wait for the 2 birthday pals to
blow out their candles. about 10 mintues.

They finally decided to blow out the candles,
to stop the embaressment.

And Marcus was rejected when he
offered to help Gerri.. Awww.. sad...

Last pic of this post,

*burp* hehe.

Very cool place. will post pics soon.

We just reached here last night,
and we actually missed our stop.
I was at fault as i was organizer.

Which resulted to us having to walk
abt 3km before reaching our hostel.
Sorry people.
I think they all are still asleep.
Just needed to use the comp to confirm
the actualy locations of the attractions
we are going to visit today.
And today we are heading for
SURFER's PARADISE!

We all are going to be here for another 2 nights.
Hope it all turns out GOOD!!

I'm extremely excited.

CHEENA-TOWN!

On the 8th of July,
the bunch of us went to, you guessed it!
Chinatown of Brisbane.

Number 1,
it's so freaking SMALL!
It's only like 2 streets?
-__-"' *wth*

Number 2, this is a good one.
THERE ARE DIM SUMS!!!!
So freaking happy lah.
Finally something somewhat authentic.

This is the resturant we visited.
All of us were so hungry, we just rushed to get
food before anything else.

From left to right:
*blur*Ernest, *OH!*Nicole,

-hmmm.. mr dumpling.-Gerri.

From left to right:
-FOOD? *quickly turns head*- Zeya,
-FOOD!!! *HAPPIE*-Sze Ho,
-Is there any more?- Marcus.

The resturant was so crowded, we actually waited
for like 30 to 45 minutes before being seated.
Look at the amt of people!!!

The queue just wouldn't end.

Actually while we were being shown to the table,
the following senario happened:

Waitress: What kind of tea would you like?

Me: 7 people.

Waitress: *kinda pissed* What kind of TEA would you like?

Me: Sorry, we still need one more chair.

Waitress: *wth is wrong with this person?*
WHAT kind of TEA would you LIKE?

Me: OH! Sorry, pu er tea please.

*waitress walks off in extreme anger*

-Ears got BIG problem-me decided to be

retarded that morning. ARGH!!!..

A big ass photo of me there:

I was freaking happy to see the dumplings..
makes me think of the dim sums, i usually eat

with dad, mum and sis back in m'sia.

Once the food started to occupy the table,

the feast began...

Everyone just dug into the food like beggars.

And ernest was so desperate for Char Siew Buns,
he keep looking left and right, for the dim sum trolleys,
and asking each and every one of the ladies that pushed them,

until after like 30-45 mintues of agony, pain, patience..
he finally managed to grab hold of a cage of the buns!!!

See him smile like there is no tomorrow...

Look at the aftermath:
A table of plates, cups, chopsticks.

7 very full-hungry ghosts.

After which, we took a walk around the 2 streets,

This fountain is actually surrounded by 12 labels,

labels of the 12 zodiacs.

And we found ours'!!!

The dragon!

Besides all these structures,

there was a market too..

Mostly girls stuff, but there were collector's

comic magazines like from marvel.

Very cool, and not cheap too.

Guess what we saw too???

When i saw it i was, LOL!!!

The last photo of the day, a beautiful sunset.

Overall, it was an enjoyable trip for myself,

and my tummy. hehe.

Take care people.

*in no order of preference.

F.O.O.D.
At brisbane, there are still the ever popular Mac's,
KFC, Hungry Jacks(Burger King).
But have you heard of BOOST?

Boost is actually a health drink shop selling healthy,
delicious, tasty smoothies with fruits, yogurt and
for some, chocolate.

Here's their say:-
"At Boost, we have a pretty simple philosophy:
yummy, healthy stuff made with quality ingredients,

prepared fresh in front of you." - BOOST (tm)

I like their raspberry ripe chocolate which consists of

raspberries, coconut milk, low fat milk, TD5 strawberry

yoghurt, sorbet & ice. It tastes excellent.

With such a big cup for about $6 in australia,
you can just treat it like a meal. It's very filling.

And i've heard there is one at VivoCity in singapore.
And they are opening one at OUB centre soon.
Check out their website:
For Australia - HERE
For Singapore - HERE

I love OPORTO too!
Oporto is just like fast food,
but delicious fast food.

I simply cannot resist their chilli sauce.
It's freaking SPICY!
And their chicken are flame-grilled like Burger King,
as BK claims, done in the portuguese fashion, it's
orgasmic with the famous chilli of theirs.
Pray they open in singapore too.

On the 9th July (Mon) morning,
ducks took a swim in our hostel swimming
pool, macham in the wild like that sia.

Also, what can happen when 4 guys live in the
same apartment?
.
.

.
Fill up the whole fridge with food? yes.

And maybe fill one whole shelf with can drinks?
Should be no problem.

What about filling the whole shelf above the fridge

with canned soup? possible.

Build a fort of canned soup? with some work, yes.

What about building a BIGGER fort together with

can drinks? Are you SERIOUS??!!

We had so much fun playing around with the cans.

Imagine:

The Lord of the Cans:- The Stack-Up!
Starring:

Ernest as Frodo, Kelvin as Sam,

Zeya as Gandalf the Black, Marcus as Saruman.
Classic.

Well. So much for the random-ness in this post.

Down Town Market!

On 23rd June (Sat), We all headed down to the city again.

This time with all the guys. and gals.

And we explored more stuff in the city. of course.

You saw Nest jump in my first post in Aus.

Now see Marcus JUMP!!!

Now we know where all the ernest(s) come from.

This birds are like some aunties rushing for

the great singapore sale like that lah, but i heard

from my sis that GSS this year is just plain bleh.

And there's this person, he creates brilliant art
just by using spray paint. I shall let the pictures do the
explaination.

NICE RIGHT??!!!

Below are some night scenery pics:-

---------------------------------------------

On 24th June (Sunday), Nicole, Gerri, Sze Ho and I
woke up freaking 7.30am to go this Fresh Market at
Sunnybank Hills Shopping Centre:-
It's freaking cool. It's in the underground carpark.
And I managed to get PAO!!!!! FINALLY!!!!
I was extremely delighted. Freaking miss home food.
Sze Ho also couldn't stand it and bought ha gao(s).
You can just see the happiness on his face.

And it's quite big too, with cheap veg, fruits,
home made jam/juice/honey, plants, aquarium fish
and a small flea market area. Alot of things to see.

.
The result being

We bought so much freaking groceries lah.

My hands almost broke apart from
my body carrying all those shit back.

Also, who knew that in australia,
AK had his own salon. LOL! We saw the shop in
sunnybank hills shopping centre.

I don't know how you think of the clouds
in these photos but don't you think they
look just so perfect? Like photoshopped in?

This one was taken at Garden City Interchange.

And this was taken on the day we

were at on the way back from the Sunday market.

RIGHT!!???
I swear i did not do anything in those above photos.

-----------------------------------------------------

On last sat, we went back to garden city to do our
routine groceries, I tried the KFC here and the girls
tried their Macdonal's here.

The KFC here has a promotion and

you can opt to change your mash potatoes

to MASHIES!!

As you see in the pic, it's this round things.
It's crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, 100%
potatoes and you are given the gravy for the
mash potatoes to dip it in. Not very impressive on the
taste buds though.

And this is the Shrek pasta and Drink from Mac.

Inside the pasta contains cheese and spinach i think. it

tastes quite good actually though it reminds be

of a huge ass boogie. The drink is very special.

It's actually milk but the magic is in the straw.
The straw contains suger pellets of chocolate and
banana. The pellets are trapped within the straw,

and have 'filters' at each side of the straw.
So when you suck the straw, the milk passes through

the sugar pellets and the flavour dissolves in the milk.
Very refreshing.
Nicole told me they have the strawberry flavoured one too.

Then nicole decided to do that.
hehe.

After lunch, we passed by this model of The Simpsons

living room to promote the Simpsons Movie

that's coming out soon. Wonder if it's coming out in
Singapore. Of course i took one with the model living room.

Look Ma! No Arm!

And i seriously have to mention about this,

the shops on weekends close like so FREAKING

early!!
Below are 2 pictues i took of how it was like

when it was like just only 5.33pm.

What the hell lor. haha. All the shops were closed already.
And Marcus was saying where do the couples have their dates,

since the shops close so early. Almost no night life.

oh yeah. Do you remember the picture i took

of the word formed in the sky? The one below,

Well, it's actually a name of a finance company here. SO much for publicity.

And before i end this post, a big ass photo of me!!!

WHASSSAP???!!!

Full of Shame.

After seeing the latest entry on Nicole's blog,
about the guys being late and everything.
I'm feeling very guilty. Cause i'm one who have
done what she has mentioned. Being late like
forever.

Almost every morning, i'm late for the gathering
at the main house. For our outings, I've always
been late too. For the Zoo outing, last week's outing
to the sunday fresh market too.
I'm so ashamed of myself.
I should be.

And I understand about the keep going out every
weekend thing. It's tiring. But i think that since we
are here, we should make the full use of the time.

But i'm sorry for not asking for their opinion as to
whether they are alright with going out to places.

And further more, last friday, I and Ben had some
arguments and now we not even on talking terms now.
And i'm having full blast guilty feelings.
On sat, we all went to the city. Ernest was asking me to
ask around if they wanted to eat subway. So i just asked,
and looked at ben. He just turned his head. I felt so bad.
Later on, as we were using the toliet, I used the the washing
basin beside ben and he totally shuned me and moved one basin
away. I was so heart-broken. I've tried twice to apologize
and hope he forgives me. But i just crashed in failure.

I'm asking myself questions like:-
Am i evil?
Am i just idiotic?
Am I just full of farts?

-feeling very down-

---------------------------------------------------

Update! (27th June 2007)

Well. Thanks to some of your concerns,
I'm feeling much better already.
And i decided to change the font color to hide
words to somehow forget the unhappiness? haha.
I shall try my best not to be late for meetings.
For ben's thing, it seems all i can do is just don't
do anything. Just let time pass by and the wounds heal.
Thanks guys!

CRIKEY!!!!
Can you make a guess
what the heading of
this post means????

On the 17th of July, Sunday,
We all took a train to go this place...
Here are some pics:-

When i saw i took this pic of myself. I was thinking of the song,
逆光 (Aganist The light) by Stef. haha.
But i love this pic.

In our journey, we needed to change trains at
Brisbane Central. But something lucky happened there.
We went to the Mac's at the central station while
waiting for the next train which heads to our destination,
to have breakfast.

What happened was that, Sze Ho and Ernest were
Q-ing up together to order, and two staff were serving at
that station, one staff brought Sze Ho, his order with Ernest's
order and the other staff thought ernest's order wasn't given
to them yet. And therefore resulting in, one FREE MAC
Breakfast!

Ben devouring the free breakfast.
Looks like cookie monster.

The girls playing with their PSP.
.
.
.
AND the place we went to was..
"Any Guesses?"
"No?"
"AND!!!"
.
.
.
.
.
it's called
THE....
"Really?!? NO???!!!"
"-damn- fine."
.
.
.
AUSTRALIA ZOO!!!!
Home ground of the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin.

The first stop was the FAMOUS Crocoseum.
It's FREAKING HUGE!!!

Part 1.

Part 2.

Part 3.

Add Parts 1, 2 and 3 together and
you will have the actual picture of the whole Crocoseum.
It's said to be able to seat in a whopping 5,000 people.
AMAZING!!!

The people at the Zoo put up a live show with
many different types of birds, snakes and the
-never be forgotten- cocrodile.

He can just sit there lah. But the thing is that
Monty, the cocrodile above is rather old already.
And it's movement is SSSssssLLLllooooOOoWWww...
However, I still like the scenes of where the crocodile
goes WHAM!.. and eats the bait the zoo keepers gives.

The zoo is very spacious but the animals are quite limited.
And some of the animals i've seen them back in S'pore.
But i love the Kangaroos and Koalas and of course the wombats!!!
The Koalas are so cute when they are sleeping but then
marcus is like "stupid lazy things. they are so boring. all they do
is just sit there. I've not seen any one of them move yet."
In the end we did see one of them move, but that fellow
moved just because he wanted to get some food to eat.

The koala is so CUTE right? Awwwww... haha.

The Days of our Lives: Griffith Uni.

We wake up at around 7-8am in the morning
and meet at the main house at 8.30am normally.
We reach sch at about 9am. Usually on time.

What we just do is just proceed with our lab work.
For now, 8 of us are split with 2 groups.
Me, Ernest, Sze Ho and Nicole are doing the DNA stuff.
Marcus, Zeya, Ben and Gerry are doing the Protein stuff.

Our lab actually looks very run down, and it is.
You will just faint when you see the laminar flow hood,
also commonly know by SCL peeps as BSC.

Door to one of our labs.

One part of our lab.
Ancient wooden shelves, cubboards. Full of chemials, reagents. Free
excess to all staff. At least they are not expired, unlike NYP ones.

This is the area where we do our gel stuff.
From gel electrophoresis, to SDS page gels.
Our supervisor Professor Bharat, he's shocking.
He touch all the EtBr stuff without gloves lah.
OMG! He transferred our BtBr Agrose gel from
the mould to the buffer reservoir with his bare
hands and he just says: "it's alright, i do it often. haha.''
Our jaws dropped.

Dr Bharat Patel is a Professor of Griffith University,
specializing in Extremophiles, with 20-30 years of
experience. I'm feel super privileged to be under
him as a attachment student.

Well, besides that our job has been quite easy.
Just do some DNA extraction, and gel electrophoresis.

We got to do anaerobic bacteria cultures last week.
Anaerobic means ''live'' in non-oxygen environments.
Here's a few pics of us preparing anaerobic media tubes,
in which we sub-culture in:-

and we use nitrogen gas to force the oxygen out of the tubes.

We also found this very odd looking goggles and
play-ed candid:-

Looking ridiculously stupid.
"YEs??"

Also, meet my new lab-mate, Ah Nest.
"YEahh. WhAat yOou wAanTt?"

One of Ah Nest favourite habits, squatting.

Another one of his favourites, Digging Gold out of his nose.

AND
.
.
.
.
.
the important pic of them all.

"WHAt?"
Sze Ho FIERCE SIA!!!

Well, there are times we reach our labs and no one is
free or there to open the labs for us to enter, which is
rather irritating. And we just wait outside, exploring
and stuff. and maybe take a early morning nap.

"ZZZzzz... ZZZZ..."

"I tell you lor.. HE everytime ZZzzzzz.."

"See! Still Zzzz.."

"*Doing aerobics* 1, 2, 3, 4. 2, 2, 3, 4"

----------------------------------------------------

The winds are so strong recently, plus the increasing
coldness. BBBBBUUUUUURRRRRRrrrrrrr.......
I must at least wear 2 shirts and a jacket to feel slightly
warm.

And in 2 days time, Haz, which marcus calls Jihad,

seriously dunno why, is moving out and Nest and Zeya
are moving in. Yeah!

I'm seriously sick of the kebabs in Griffith Uni.
Have been eating kebabs for nearly 2 weeks already.

-puke- *readers please insert a disgusting puke sound.
I've manged to think of what to da pao for lunch for two
days though. Olive fried rice, fried bee hoon with indian
spiced chicken. Then i'm totally out of what to bring next.
Any suggestions?

I miss my Chicken Rice, Bar Chor Mee, Roti Prata,
Beef Noodles... MANY MANY MORE!!! ARGH!!!!

Can send one fedex it over to me here... ARGH@!!!

More to come...

Starry Freezing Night

The clouds have dissappeared after the rain,
which has somehow extended the datedue of
drought. With the clouds gone, I can see the sky
very clearly, with the stars. It's amazing.
You don't get to see this in singapore, not unless
the goverment decides to demolish all HBDs and
cut down on all the street lights.

The amount of street lights will explain as to the
darkness here. But once you look up into
the sky, you will be thankful that it is kinda dark.
The sunsets here are as spectactular as well.

The second one was spectacular when seen LIVE.

We have taken a look around the area near by our
hostel, such as the small asian shops nearby, and also
Garden city.

Garden city?????

Ok, garden city is like for example, Toa Payoh has
HDB HUB, and Sembawang has Sun Plaza. It's about
the same. And we go to garden city to do our groceries.

And WE COOK??? YES. we do.

I will let these pictures do us justice.

missing my home-cooked food.

In order to go to Griffith University, where we are
attachached to, we would first need to climb this
slope up as griffith uni. campus is located on a hill,
something like Ngee Ann Poly but WAYyyy..
higher hill.

Next,
At the end? of the slope, you would need to climb
this flight of stairs,

And... so on as so forth, to save you from boredom.

Well, it seems that Sze Ho and Ben are not going to
move in with us, thus a new guy, Aziz from Brunei
moved in the day before. Well, and Hash, the other
Arab guy is going to move out in 10 days! Ernest and
Zeya doesn't seem to mind moving in. haha.
So i think it's rather great.

For the past sunday, I together with Nicole and Geraldine,
visited this Sunday Livestyle Market in Brisbane City.
It's quite cool.

I'm thinking of getting my sister a gift from here before
we leave. and maybe some of the peeps i know.

There was also this mini-open air stadium nearby,
and there was a rock band playing for free.
They are so professional. Unlike Singaporeans,
who are much-oh ok lor and just stare and watch-
to this kind of stuff, the Australians they clap to the
rythum when not even prompted to do so and after
the performance, they cheer and clap appreciative-ly.

Back to the point, the intended purpose was to visit
a FRESH market. A fresh market is where farmers
come to this area of land to sell their veg. and fruits
and live stock (i think). We asked our in-charge of the
hostel, Narrell, and she asked us to visit this market.
So, upon arrival at the above market, we totally -_-"'..

After the visit, we still decide to take a look how the
Fresh Market at Mt Gravett, which is much nearer
to our place. In which to our dissapointment, the
market ended. It's only from 6am to 12pm.
And we were waiting for a bus to go back to garden
city and we saw this :

I totally have no idea what it means but Cool right? haha.

Oh yeah. I've got a NEW phone too. *HAPPY!!*
it's E65. Quite slick. Not the kind i used to like though.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, it has been good since I arrived. It's the 8th day
of winter now. The temperature initially was about air
con temprature, but as we now approaching the middle
of the winter season, it gets colder and colder each day.
Even with the windows closed, you can just feel the chill
from the outside. BUuurrrrr....

I'm very happy with our accomdation here. There is a
swimming pool, which i totally don't use, a small gym :),
a slightly damaged pool table, which Ben got to play for
the first few days for FREE. There's also a tennis court
here.I haven't took time to take a look at it yet.

Our Hostel!! See Nest In mid air!

A close up of the logo.

The overview of the whole main office.

The Very Ancient piano. Siu, you like?

The Swimming Pool.

The Very Damaged Pool Table.

The Gym. -Small-

The view of the apartments from the main office.

I totally hate the internet connection here in
University Park. The wireless is totally unstable,
plus even it stable, it's only 11mb/s. ARGH!!!!!!!
See my FRUSTRATION!! On our 1st few days,
Marcus and I even had problems signing on to MSN.
That's why I have problems uploading my pictures to
my blog.

I'm bunking with marcus. Well, he's now blasting MCR
songs on his lappie, sounding all emo. I guess he's
rather tired and not feeling that well i guess. He got
some inflammation of the lymph. I think it's that. He
has a hard time chewing his food. Hope he gets well
soon.

Back to the apartment. In our apartment, we have a kitchen,
a living room, a dinning room on the 1st level. Then the rooms
on the second floor. I shall let the pictures do the taking:-

The slope up to the apartments.

Marcus and Me's Apartment. No. 4.

Mirror Closet!!

Our Beds!!

Toliet. Very Clean!

View of the ourside from room Window.

View of Outside at other Window.

Well. I'm was living with 2 middle east/indian people
which they say they live near dubai. But one of them
has already moved out and the other one is too. soon.
So, I was thinking of getting zeya, nest, ben and sze ho
to move into our apartment. So everyone is together
which is more convient I guess.

Well it's near 2am already. I better go to sleep.
Meeting Nicole and geraldine to go Garden City
tomorrow.

Till then.. More to come...

2007-05-03T21:00:00.000+08:00

This is VERY random.

I forgot to add one more impt pic to the previous post.

TaDAA!!! Well, she's endorsing this tea in China.
She's FAMOUS there!!! haha.
How i wish i could be that famous. hehe.

Talking about Stef, she will be releasing the [庆功]
CELEBRATION version of her latest album,
Againist The Light, 逆光 tml in Taiwan.
In which, will reach singapore in a few days i hope,

CONCERT in Taiwan, which she performed all
the songs in this album. PLUS! 5 MVs for the
1st 5 hit singles:
1) 逆光, Againist The Light
A stong, rich determination of love.
2) 我懷念的, Unforgettable
Memories of emotions rush through your brain,
as you recollect what you really can't forget.
3) 咕嘰咕嘰, Gugigugi
A funky fun song to make you quirky.
4) 夢遊, Sleep-walk
Ahhh.. the childhood memories.
5) 飄著, Float
Loneliness with an edge of angst.

It's a CELEBRATION ALBUM not to be MISSED!!!
Save money to get IT!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------

About 2 weeks ago, I sprained my ankle.
Furthermore, it's during the club crawl.
I had to walk from my blk, which is at one of the sch,
to the Sports hall which is at other end of the sch.
I felt rather helpless during that period,
hoping someone will at least help me there.
But NOooo.. argh. nvm. Its all better now.
Thank god.

Well, in about a month's time, i would need to head to
Brisbane, australia for my attachment. Actually, its
rather contradicting, I'm very excited to go there,
but then I'm already missing home already. haha.
I will be there for about 3 months.

Well, more on the next update.

2007-04-12T00:21:00.000+08:00

Warning: Long Post Ahead.

Hong Kong and Back..
The story continues..

People say HK is a shopping paradise.
I freaking agree 100% to that. haha.
Although it was winter season when i went,
and the clothes were all long sleeved,
and i couldn't buy and wear them in HOT
singapore, which if i did, i might just get
a heat stroke but the designs were very
interesting, like most of it, you don't see it
in like Far East or bugis street.
Another mention would be the asscessories
, seriously, they have many very daring designs
that as mentioned that is not seen in s'pore.
AND the place to go is 旺角 WANG JIAO!!!

Enough abt HK.
When people talk about HK, obviously,
there will be MACAU!!!
Famous for it's gambling casinos,
i actually went to one.

Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to
take photos inside. Let me try to describe:
Imagine a royal palace carpet on the floor,
with the edges of the ground, stairs covered by
dark jade coloured tiles, golden plated stairway
railings, golden crystal light chandeliers shining
through the main area of the casino, and
beatifully crafted chairs and table with royal
palace design patterned cusions.
And the people who work there are all
DAMN PROFESSIONAL!!! Especially when
they do the hand signals for more bets and closed
betting and so on. A wonderful expericnce.

Besides their casinos, Macau is also famous
for the Sacred Ruins of St Paul's Church.

Below is me trying to carry up the wall.
An idiotic Pose.

Below: the view from the ruins of
a shopping area below.

Below left: A close up of the shopping area.
Below Right: A trying to be cool or some may say emo me,
as though i'm having sucidal thoughts @ the Macau Habour.

Above 2 pictures: Streets of Macau. Beautiful.

I also went to 深圳 Shen Zhen which was included in the tour package.

It's basically a part of china that is nearest to HK
and it is alo famous for its 'fake' goods. haha.
I seriously felt it was a bad time for me to go as
the temperature could be at 3-4 °C in the morning
and then rise all the way to 22-24°C in the afternoon,

and back to 3-4°C in the evening. I got a serious cold
from that sudden temperature change.
I wasn't really enjoying myself back then.
In the evening, i just had a high fever. *-_-"'*
Then i just fell sick all the way until I returned to S'pore.
Damn. But here are some pictures i took in the morning
there, @ this place called Windows of The World.
Why travel ard the world when the world is at one place?

End of HK Trip. Thanks for Reading.
My recorded song link is renew-ed. hehe.

2007-04-11T23:24:00.000+08:00

Final Y ear P roject.

Basically, I'm in my final year already.
Finally. Thank god.
And i'm arranged to do my FYP first.
My project is actually called:
" Evaluation of toxicity of
natural product, Toosendanin."
which i think neither of you have a idea,
except marcus who could be reading my blog.
HE is afterall my project partner.
This project is carried out to find out about the toxicity
of this compound, as above, Toosendanin, which is
actually an extract from a chinese herb called the
chinaberry. We use rats as a test specimen.
Speaking of rats, here's a video of the rats on the
first week they came in for our project:

Voice credits: Joseph, Michelle Tan, Marcus Lim :x

They are actually quite cute. haha.

When they sleep, they cuddle together with
the other rats and sleep together, may it be
side to side or even stacked up on on another.

Marcus was saying that
they seriously live in pure
luxury. Only need to eat,
sleep, pee, shit.

Can everyone say.. Awwwww...

2007-03-04T22:30:00.000+08:00

You are only going to see it here.
My FIRST song that is recorded in a studio.
And i just want to share with everyone.
The song's original singers are 光良/梁静茹.
Note: Non - Professional Singing.
and please do not expect much.
click HERE! to download.

Hong Kong. A much busy city, full of busy roads and streets,
a sea of people. You can just gather the energy from it.

And the night scene is just spectacular.
The neon lights, gigantic posters hanging above
the crowded streets. It's like you are in a scene
of a hong kong drama serial. haha.
well. not so exaggerated. but it's certainly got
my shopping mood up when i was there.

Somethings that cannot be missed when
there are of course FOOD!!! Below is a picture
of a typical breakfast there. if not breakfast,
maybe snack? A polo bun and tea. At first i was quite
curious of how a polo bun actually tastes like. It just
tastes of butter and suger baked on a bun.
nothing quite special.

Of course in HK, you can never miss their dim-sum(s).
May it be the Ha Gao(prawn dumplings) or
the siew mai(s), with a cup of nice warm tea,
it never fails to exceed your expectations.
Maybe that would be an over-estimation,
BUT you will be satisfied.

This island can never look ugly.
Can it?
Well, yes. haha. But that's when you take a closer look.

The people seem to live in very small apartments.
It's real small and the exterior of the non-commercial
buildings can never seem to be compared to the HDBs
in singapore. Its either the paint has faded by maybe
a thousand times or tonnes of dust has collected on the
dirty looking walls. I can also count with my fingers,
the number of buildings that has acceptable looking exteriors.

to be continued...

2006-12-29T14:20:00.000+08:00

Hey!

yeah. i understand i've been VERY lazy to blog.

It's funky. haha. Gwen Gwen Gwen.
Also 石欣卉's new album is excellent.
Highly Recomended!!!

Well.. will post more when i'm back from HK.
YIPEE!!!

2006-11-04T07:47:00.001+08:00

A flood of questions,
A depression sets in between,
Admittance shall be done?

The past, possible to outgrow?
The present, possible to hatch?
The future, possible to happen?

2006-10-13T01:37:00.000+08:00

YO! What's Cooking???

Looks not bad right? haha.
But the taste is only a slight pass for me.
although i'm the one who made it.
I shall work on it.

2006-10-10T14:32:00.000+08:00

Here...
Here are some final pics of my trip,
as said in my previous post.

Sunrise of Tanjong Tekong Sea Side

That's me in the above pic. hehe.

2006-10-10T10:42:00.000+08:00

Long Time Never Blog...
I know. Ah Kel ah, lazy le. haha.
I shall update on my recent events??
huh? HUH? HUH? ok? OK? OK?
ok.

Back to Penang 2...
It was grandpa's 75th birthday,
man were there lots of people.

Of course i had to take some random pics there.

This swing below is what i would normally like to sit when
there's no one at grandma's hse. It's someplace i can actually think
through some doubts/trouble i've been having. althought, the last
time i sat there, i couldn't even solve any of the problems i'm having.

Another place would be this large boulder facing the sea. As the sea breeze
gently blows pass your face, it's like it could just blow away your troubles,
but somehow again, it didn't, the last time i was there. haha.

This is an alley leading to my grandparent's house.
and that's grandma. haha.

And this is one of grandpa's dogs.
The pic below is taken by accident.

My chio cousin.

which somehow relates me to some
dream chat ad in a magazine.

To be continued..

2006-09-08T00:07:00.000+08:00

Cookies?

I've finally persuaded my mother to buy me
an oven, cause i always wanted to do baking.
yeah, I used to picture baking as a woman's thing,
but things have changed. I'm looking for recepies
to bake other stuff as well. cakes, chicken?

Exams are over and the holidays flow in,
With a teaspoon of Chalet,
200g of a New compilation of Stef Sun,
0.5 ounce of Kbox,
8 chunks of Music Clinic Lessons,
A pinch of Work,
A dash of Blogging,
A Sprinkle of Designing.

Tomorrow's Kbox day.
maybe will take pictures. haha.
See first.

2006-07-10T19:14:00.000+08:00

yeah. I know. Super long time since i blogged.
ah kel busy lah. PALs 8th Forum.
Hong Jun Yang Campus Concert in NYP.
Then reports, projects, tests.
then also someone's birthday present.

Yanzi had her concert in taiwan last weekend.
and It looked much 'grander' than the one in
singapore. ARGH! How i wished i was there.
does the picture look nice. of course it's nice.
I did this picture. haha. althought i have to say it's
not the best that can be done. haha.

I was reading last week's 8days and there was this
article on Tanya Chua saying that she is not being
well received by singapore, even thought she won the
pretigious Golden Melody Best Female Singer. I think
i can come up with a example. Tanya was the guest
star on the singapore idol results show last week,
then gurmit still can ask her something like,
'You are releasing a new album soon right?'
Tanya was like, 'It's out already! it's called t-time.'
t-time was out a few months before.
I can imagine how pissed she could have been.

Dear Tanya,
I'm a fan of yours. I do not go to the airport to welcome
you back or go to your autograph sessions but,
i buy your albums. You are a amazing composer/singer.
I've even wrote a personal review on ur latest album, t-time.
Even though you may not feel very well received,
but do hold on, cause remember there are still
fans like us.
Sincerely,
Kelvin Tang.

2006-07-02T21:48:00.000+08:00

Hell doesn't know
A Woman's Fury...
when you step on her slippers.

I was searching for food at the food court
at ECP, when i accidentally stepped on
this lady's white fashionable slippers.
man, did i regret it.
As she reached for her slippers to try dust off
the dirt that my slippers has implanted on hers,
she gave a
-YOU CRAZY BA*T**D!, how dare you step on my
pretty little slippers?!!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG
WITH YOU!!! I spend like so much time looking for these..
argh! i seriously hope you'll be rampaged by a millon
elephants, and get shitted on by another millon of elephants,
and die. AS A VIRGIN!!!.- stare at me.
So pple, never mess with a woman's footwear.
-------------------------------------------------------
Argh. I freaking bored, although i have like tons of events
that is going to be coming on soon. And I will say the results
of my common test are going to be so great,
I will see Fantastic F's. Well, maybe a dash of D's and C's.
Argh.

2006-06-08T11:51:00.000+08:00

What time is it?
T-time. Tanya Time.
yes. Tanya has released
her 1st compilation.
Which incudes 5 new songs,
Beautiful Love
深信不疑
路口
障眼法
過動兒
& all her best works.
Rating: ****

The 1st hit single, Beautiful Love is absolutely soothing. Her voice simply blends into the music. One darn good song to chill out too. Beautiful.

深信不疑, a Peter Lee composition is abt forgeting someone you loved. Being free. Back to being alone.
Touching.

路口, abt being saved from
loneliness by someone.
which I need.

Album includes also excellent hit singles, 無底洞, 陌生人,
雙棲動物. Of course, 呼吸, if I'm not wrong made her recognized in
taiwan. Also, 沙灘, one of the songs Kelly Poon sang for the Project
Superstar Finals at the Singapore Indoor Staduim last year.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life Happenings...
Huda's in hospital because of her eye infection
which is due to improper cleaning of contacts.
So people, take extra care when cleaning them.

~~Holidays~~ study break is here.
which somehow is a sign that the auditions
for Orion is near. Certainly want to get through.
and of course, my common tests. argh.
Big problem: 'german' MBT

2006-06-01T22:12:00.000+08:00

Just My Luck?

I wonder if is it me or
my luck is changing.
I actually had the chance to take
a picture Kelly Poon with
other PALs members at the
recent campus concert at NYP.

But argh, why did I look at other directions?

and I've just won a S$ 155 Fossil Watch.
*WHAT!!!??* Yes. I can't believe it either.
I bought Wang Lee Hom's CD and just filled
up and sent the luck draw form that was inside.
But I never thought i would win something,
cause i sent the form 5 mths ago. *dumbstruck*

Will more have to come?

If having a crush on you is a sin,
then I would have immediately gone to hell.

2006-05-25T22:12:00.000+08:00

My Biggest Dream yet.

Be it being a doctor, a fireman, a dancer..
I believe everyone has a dream right?
including you. Yes, you.
The one reading this blog entry.

My dream is to be a singer.
Not just someone who just croons at a pub.
Someone whose presence on stage lets everyone
give their undived attention to him/her.

As I watched Stefanie Sun in concert during Jan,
I dreamed of being in her place. Where everyone
in the audience stands up and applaude for you.

It's just ecstatic. That's why i'm going to do what i can
to make it to that place someday. someday.
-------------------------------------------------------

How's school lately? shitty, I say.
Yes. Argh.
The lectures recently got more and difficult to understand
Elvin Eun has been speaking alot of 'german' for MBT.
Seriously, I have countless doubts for his every lecture.
The mountian of to do things never gets smaller.
argh..

2006-05-17T09:27:00.000+08:00

yes. I do agree it has been a freaking long
time since i last blogged. Time has gone faster,
and Ah Kel is not very fit. Can't keep up.
Lame right? but nvm. haha.

Adventures of Ah KeL
Trip Back to Penang 12-14 may 2006.

Returned back to visit my grandparents.
I seriously missed penang. The sea scented air.
The sunny sunshine. Ah Ma's house.
And of course, the food. hehe.

Yes, you maybe thinking. WHAT? Wanton Mee?
What's the diff? But it's different. Really. I swear 100%.
After you eat the wanton mee there, you simply will be dumbstruck.
and apparently, bees are the new neighbours
on the water apple [Malay: Jumbu] tree
beside my grandparents' house. (below)

*click to see clearer*

I learned to make simple pottery too.

What i did (above).

I tried to do what the teacher
(above) was doing but my clay kept becoming a pile of shit.
I just have clumsy hands. argh.

I also went trekking. and took some pretty pics.

Black is the new Jolin

This pop princess is back
in the house, ALL NEW.
New Recording Company.
New Hair colour.
New Album.
New style.
A whole new Jolin.

Artist: Jolin Tsai 蔡依林
Album: Dancing Diva 舞孃
Rating:***1/2
Recommended Tracks:
玩美, 舞孃, 假裝,
唇唇欲動, Mr.Q,
乖乖牌.

I feel that this album is her
best yet. A very mature her. All groovy dance beats,
with the more hip hop <玩美>, indian tinted <舞孃>,
similar -Sugababes's Push The Button- beat <唇唇欲動>,
electronic -Britney Spear's Do something- alike .
Fast songs sure is her forte. Ballads such as 假裝, 離人節
comfort those heart broken souls. 馬德里不思議 is very
catchy but a little cutesy for me.

However this time, the MVs are rather impressive except
maybe for 唇唇欲動 which i found the
car driving, wearing lipstick parts unnecessary.
What could the director of the MV could have done is to
do a focus on the lips while she was dancing,
to show how lips can be sexy by only looking at them.
Honestly, you find girls wearing lipstick attractive?

and 馬德里不思議, I find some parts of it weird esp when
Jolin prances around on the streets of madrid, the people
there look as if she's gone kuku already.

舞孃 Dancing Diva

假裝 Pretentious

唇唇欲動 Attraction of The Sexy Lips

馬德里不思議 Incredible Madrid

I somehow think i'm losing it already.
I can't feel anything since 1/2 year ago.
When can I find back that feeling?
My soul wants it badly but
my mind doesn't want to give it back.
How?

Just when you thought only
Kelis's Milkshake

What happened before this clip:
As Louis was about to leave the resturant,
Peter quickly pushes the tables Louis was
going to walk in between, another few metres
apart. Louis then says:
"Peter, you're embarrassing me!"...
