I totally love Kelly Clarkson!
She has the nicest voice; this powerhouse is set blow you back to mars with her vocals.
Haha!

28th March 2006
My cousins, Pst Lia and I went to the eat at American Club situated along orchard road
in celebration of my cousin's birthday.
The place could be described as cool, posh and everything nice and
that was one of my few times stepping into a club which entry was exclusive to members only.
I took a few moments to immortalise the surroundings,delicious food and of course the handsome and pretty people there ( it's us by the way) into my phone's memory. Admit it, my phone's camera captures wonderful pictures.

It's nightfall again.
It comes by as quickly as one can finish saying 'Kelly clarkson's vocals makes me go WOW!'.
I guess it's because I've been sleeping in late for the last two days (the rain that took place this morning put me in comfort of the highest altitude whilst hugging my bolster and wandering in dreamland..wait, I do not have a bolster.) ... forgive me, I was tired ok? haha!
But now, I'm wide awake like an owl but I think I'm going to sleep early tonight to break free from the vicious cycle hence missing all the action of the day.

I had quite an eventful week last week.
First, it was Kesh's birthday gathering at Swensens on friday.. yes, speaking of Swensens, I totally dig their ice-cream A LOT (time to remind myself that I had better start jogging again).
Okay, time to get back from the sidetrack to the main point lest I get derailed.
Many thanks to Kesh for inviting me to celebrate his 19th birthday. It was funnnn, especially when it came to the table games.

Before I knew it, I went into Saturday's embrace.
I had intermediate bass test at 9a.m. I hope I fared well enough :)
BS in the afternoon
and leaders' meeting in the night.

Not long, 26th March,Sunday arrived.
Hhahahaa..it was funn! Of course, I went for services but this time, Eugene Tay my choir friend from way back in secondary school accompanied me (yes yes,I joined CHOIR!).
The whole group of us went to the arcade situated on the top floor of Plaza Singapura after service.
As usual, it was jammed packed with youths with too much extra time to kill (okay, what makes us then?). Everything wasn't that exciting until it came to the last station-'THE MAGICAL MACHINE' (or so I call it). Yes, it's the machine that grins secretly whenever someone slips in a dollar coin into it's mouth. The machines there were all exuding a very much gleeful exterior as though it's inviting us to it.

We were supposed to press some button to indicate which prize we wanted to fall out if we managed to get the magical numbers to add up to 5 in a matter of 3 tries. 3 tries for goodness sake was worth far less than my dollar! Well, the 'demons' were the minuses that stood as closely to the magical positive digits... and whenever that dumb prize (well, not so dumb, they were worth at least $500 each!) was on the verge of sliding out of the lever, we would ALWAYS hit the '-4' digit somehow!

Down 4 steps, the lever went back to it's normal position. Screams of hysteria were heard then. And of course, we were not satisfied (regrets)... we popped in a few more dollar coins subsequently, garnering us more tries aka more times to prove our dumbness to actually believe that we could in a matter of a few tries land us a place beside the array of photos of the grinning proud winners on the top of the machine; who actually won some goodies from that particular box... I wonder how many million they emptied into the machine.

Now, I realised the addictive effect it has on it's consumers. The statement I made earlier 'How can the person in charge of this game machine earn any money with a single dollar to even compensate any part of the total money used to buy the prizes placed inside the machine' was surely an understatement. This creature tricks it's consumer subconsiously into thinking that they will manage to get the mystical gift in the box... it's sooo near!

Soon, we gave up after putting in $20 dollars in total. Ah, there it goes again, my heart aches.
Haha.. Nah, it was for the sake of fun and fellowship... at least everyone went home remembering the insane screams in their heads. Smile!

Haha.. till again.

I've edited this using photodraw. Bah, wait till I have acquired all the magical skills of photoshop.
I saw this on the net and I was too shocked for words.

The picture on the left is the original, the right one was photoshop,flawlessly edited. Now we're talking.

Current status : Fingers numbed! Practised bass for two whole hours for the upcoming SOW test on Sat morning.

Mannequins-creatures from hell, so I would label them as.
As a child, I always dreamt of them every night. Set in People's Park Shopping Centre,( Do not be deceived by the oh-so-beautiful term'Shopping Centre', the place was really run-down!) I would always be walking past shops that had mannequin displays at the front and whenever I looked at the one of the dummy eye to eye, those dummy parts would start moving and soon the whole 'person' would be running after me.
And what did I do? Run away OF COURSE! (you wouldn't be expecting me sit down and have tea with it, would you?)
I took off as quickly as my stubby legs could handle me and SOMEHOW, I would always be caught by it.
The next thing I knew I was sitting up on my then-matteress, wide awake from my sleep with beads of cold sweat streaming down my face. Strangely, my legs would be wailing in excruciating pain due to 'pins and needles'. How I dreaded sleeping! Argh.
Maybe because I hung around in PEOPLE'S PARK(Chinatown area) with my mum too much when I was young. There, every single turning led you to some shop with mannequins display(female ones in particular).

And did you know how I solved the problem of those recurring dreams every night?
Well, I'm not sure why but through those weird dreams, I've sort of picked up a special skill to tell myself in the dream that I'm actually dreaming and forced myself to wake up hence stopping all the drama. Succeeds everytime!

But, life's much better now. No more nasty dreams!

I'm craving for the Vanilla milkshake from Mcdonalds.
NOW.
YES NOW.
would you get me one?

The walls are shattered for a new sun.
Alas, a new beginning.
I love You.

Behold, I've conquered!
Results out today... guess what I've got?

I passed my ASP module! REALLY REALLY PASSED IT!
I still remembered the day I broke out in cold sweat when I did only three questions out of the many questions on the ASP paper and not forgetting my incomplete project!

I've got:
B+ (75%-<80% )
B (70%-<75%)
B (70%-<75%)
C+ (65%-<70% )
C+ (65%-<70% )
D (50%-<55%)
D (50%-<55% )

it isn't a set of outstanding results but they're surely crying out in a loud valiant voice that I've made a tremendous improvement! Praise God!

Any time now.
I peered through my window grille anticipating the first drop of life.
Dark clouds seem to cling on and soon the perfect sky will be torn.
There, it is finally raining.

I love rainy days. It brings so much soothingness to my whole being.
Haha.. I took some time out on Saturday to catch the movie 'V for Vendetta' with a couple of old friends namely Jevon,Hozheng,Nic and Jonas at LIDO (no seats left at the other cinemas!). Basically, it pictured a corrupt government and a mysterious man named V(why must mystery be the push factor before things can get any more exciting?), the only one to overturn the government and stopping the tyranny. A revolution. It definitely donned quite a sophisticated plot which I had to analyse deeply before I understood what it was driving at. Thumbs up.

Hoz and I took a cab home after that. 12a.m only meant one thing- ...no train -_-"
I was talking to him about what we thought would be our future jobs and such in the cab which we hailed earlier on.
Then, I paused for a moment as it dawned on me that the statement 'time flies' was no understatement (picture a light beam shining down on the cab through the dark skies =P).
I knew this bunch of friends during the time when they were still taking their O levels and now, they are already in J2 and preparing to surrender to the nation in the very near future. Bah, Man can be so darn clever in their innovations but never will they be able to come out with something like 'A TIME MACHINE'.

That leaves us humans enclosed in a thing called the 'life-span'. Treasure your TODAY.
Time WILL fly pass your very eyes and soon all that will be left are fleeting images of memories and your destiny, good or bad will be whatever you make of it.

But for me, I LOVE LIFE.
Look at all the things I've achieved.. the people I've made an impact for Christ.
Haha.
Back at you prince of the air!
And to those people who think that I'm no more than a clown..haha.. listen up, you wouldn't be much alive if I lived life showing the 'other me' not that I take pride in this area.
BUT IF U FORCE ME, I DEFINITELY WILL.

before that, let's dig into some ice-cream (preferably BEN AND JERRY'S ) and feel cool altogether. =) smile smile smile!

I went to catch the movie 'Shaggy Dog' today with a couple of people namely-FX,Yvonne, Jianwen,Cynthia,Ivan Peh, Derrick and later joined by Hongyu.
The movie was quite OKAY... average I would say... but the day wasn't so normal. Oh man, we were crapping and laughing all the way from Dhoby Ghaut to Somerset up to the train ride we took home. Haha.. Yes,today was our first time meeting up with the oh-so-funny Jianwen. My goodness, he's quite a nice guy actually.. I do not know why I'm lying... probably because he asked me to make a special mention of him in my latest blog entry. As you can see, he's like the star of my photographs.. hmm.. I did not take most of them. I wonder who did it.. =P
Photos, photos and more random photos of the outing. It was great!
I'm beginning to adore my camera phone armed with the ability to immortalise moments worth reminising in the near future.

Added some pictures from my handphone.
































































































































































Haha.. I've got to know a new friend from NYP-to-be in church yesterday with the name of 'Joseph lawrence khoo'( cool name)..
hahaha.. he's quite a funny guy, always smiling away. I've just ended my conversation with him on msn, and oh boy.. you know what? His friends and him made a visit to the Old Changi Hospital yesterday where the white woman dwells... err.. haha..
By the way, I just realised why he looks so familiar...
it's because HE LOOKS LIKE CHARLESTON. *gasp. except for the hair that is.

Honestly, the word 'Jap' flashed through my mind when I first saw Joseph with his oh-so-funky hairdo. I'm gonna show Charleston his clone if I meet him on msn tonight...

what's up with this??
I'm like getting aquainted and becoming good friends with all the 'WENS'

Jianwen is my latest friend I met like half an hour ago online.
hahahaa.. funny guy... very funny guy... very very very funny guy.
hongyu's neighbour. hahahahahaa..

and of course, how can I forget Bobby? hahahahaha.. yeo wei liang.. happy driving ah!

Ah. A breath of relief.
I've met up with Peck lian for many grueling hours of brushing up what I've learnt on the bass. I'm gonna be so damn ready on Saturday.
Thanks Pecklian. =)

Reflected on what went through my mind yesterday..
Heavens slap me, was I stupid or what? I'm not going to just give up my bass like that. I've progressed this far and just one stumble kicked the bucket? Nah, it will not do.
The devil buys your dreams so that he could sell your soul, never succumb.

Dance to a new tune. An emancipation is coming.
I'm meeting up with my course manager tomorrow to appeal for my year 3 specialisation as I was given my last choice due to my GPA or Grade Point Average whichever sounds better to you. I guess I'm still cleaning up my mess from my year 1. You see, never never create a mess in the first place lest it'll stick to you down the road. Bah. I'm going to a university. By hook or crook.

I'm gonna win.

Tough day.
I do not know why stupidity caught up with me so quickly that made me
forget the allocated chords for the different sections.
Stood there stoned after the scolding.
But it won't get me down.
I will not submit to tempting 'loser-ship.'

I'm gonna show them I can do it.
