Well, looks like we've finally ventured into the last day of 2008.

I'm sure there'll be a lot of people making a new year's resolution this very day. Have you ever wondered why people find peace in making a resolution year after year even though at the back of their minds they know that there's a chance in two that it'll fizzle out after some time and never get to see it till year's end? Well, in my opinion, I guess it gives them hope for progress in some way and to become better in another. Some of you may think it's a false hope but nonetheless, it's still hope and I guess that's what keeps people moving forward.

I've personally sketched out some new plans for the new year and will make a few in the later part. I've also decided to follow and finish my bible reading plan and I'm resolute in doing so because I think I'll be thankful for it someday.

Enough of going through time aimlessly but rather spearhead some beautiful goals in life

and then at the end of it, you'll realise that's progress... all we ever hoped for in the first place.

The future?

An unwritten tale for us to finish.

A brief review of 2008:

- I learnt how to drive and it was a really harsh 2 months but I made it through with an army licence.

- I POP-ed in March and I was 81kg (from: 94kg) then but my weight subsequently dropped to 75kg in the next two months.

-I started my fight for a 8-5 pm vocation... still fighting.

- I had to buy plenty of new clothes because my old ones were too huge for me already and I could fit snugly into a size 32, a stark contrast to size 40 before.

- I found out that the gym wasn't a scary place after all.

- The tv series that excites me every week was Heroes. I love that show.

-The biggest movie this year was The Dark Knight

- I discovered that Malaysia was an exciting place to be because _________ and I could scot in and out every other weekend after I had my new passport made.

- I finally detached myself from the puppetry strings of some people

-Facebook is an awesome location to be on the internet

-and not forgetting all the intangible changes in my head. I guess I've become a different person. Probably a stronger one at that.

-I'm still in church every weekend

Ah, today's a boring day.

But tomorrow's gonna be exciting... I'm gonna hang out with Yongsing and Derrick in the afternoon before meeting my sec school friends for a short dinner. The night's short cos I have army duty tomorrow. Yes, the first day of the new year and they slap you with another duty, shows how much they care, really.

Year 2009. Another step into the future.

I envisage the day the boring-days ended.

Monday, December 29, 2008

To think there are actually people who idolize a celebrity to an extreme obsession.

It's way creepy.

To place your expectations (your life and whatever is important to you) on people is the worst thing to do because people cannot live up to them. One day, your world will crumble.

Oh yeah, go on... laugh your oh-so-righteous ass away but time will tell it's story.

I caught the movie Twilight on Christmas day instead of Bedtime stories which was planned earlier. I know vampires would be too morbid a topic to cover on a joyous day like this but well, I thought what stood out besides the vampire-like abilities portrayed was the romance part. I'm not one who is well tuned to sappy stuff but I thought Twilight did strike a chord with me.Town was swarming with people and you can see people dressed to the nines; a deviation from the usual jeans and tees.

Things got even better when I finally opened the presents under the Christmas tree in my home.

I've got a Christian Audiger top:

It's rhinestone encrusted (:

Gosh, Christian Audiger stuff are really unique. Love'em.

Today was another movie day.

Yes, yet again one more time in front of the money-sucking big screen.

Bryan, Jason Chan, Roy and I caught Australia.

Ok-only-lah.

I'll be going to the gym with Dexter first thing in the morning to shed off the Christmassy fats.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I had a wonderful Christmas eve party with my secondary school classmates.

My friend was born on Christmas day; hence that made a double celebration- birthday and Xmas.

Stunning with her get-up, she looked every inch a rock chick and boy, she does turn heads.

The food was great as usual... seems like you only have good food all around whenever it comes to festive periods and it would be a big taboo if you don't serve turkey during Christmas. Speaking of which, the turkey with strawberry jam was the fastest to be wiped clean.

Apparently, my friend had two function rooms booked to accommodate her friends and relatives. The amount of people who turned up was just plain massive in every sense of the word.

Then there was the gift exchange program.

I tried to be generous within the limits of the stipulated amount the gift should be but it was just that I did my gift shopping at the last hour and I didn't really have time to choose hence I got the fake bread thing from action city.

You do know what I'm referring to, don't you?

I wrapped it up with my last-minute looking wrapper. And unfortunately enough, someone from nearby from where I was situated in the room got my present. I was hoping she doesn't have a bit clue that I was the one who bought that particular novelty item because really, if you are not those who are appealed by how real those things look and smell compared to real bread, then that thing is pretty much useless to one.

And things can't get any more obvious/unfortunate when one of my friends spouted out, 'Hey Jeremy, isn't that your present?' Alright, sorry. I know I should have never been a miser and should have gotten something with more value to it- not necessarily monetary rather practically.

Until I saw what others received, I think my gift wasn't half as bad as I imagined it to be.

Aiya! Ha-ha. I guess, it's the joy of bonding in one of these present exchanging session that mattered.

And every meet-up cannot be done without photos, so head to my FB for the images.

A couple of us hung out in one of my friend's house till 2am to chat and reminisce old times with Nasi Lemak and swiss rolls.

I went to Malaysia for dinner just now. That was something out of the usual routine for me although my parents weave in and out Malaysia like moving from YCK to AMK.

We ate at a hawker centre that served restaurant quality food (Yeah, you only get that in Malaysia). Enter the crayfish, chilli kangkong, crabs and squids. And to top it off, a cup of passion fruit juice. I totally love how the malay workers conversed in the Chinese language. They sound exactly like the Chinese race by the way.

We walked around, got a couple of things then headed home.

Then I realised it was the 24th of Dec, which also means it's the eve of Christmas. Goody.

I'll need to wake up early for something last minute shopping later on.

Oh, Derrick showed me this:

Singaporeans and their lingo~

Imagine you incurred a foot rot and there's an incessant itch between your toes

- The sensation of using a pair of scissors (or any pointed object for that matter) to scratch them; weaving through each toe is ultimate pleasure.

Get someone who is willing to help you do it whilst you lie down and enjoy the moments, you just increased the euphoria.

Now watch this video

... the sensation?

Priceless.

Okay, it gets irritating after a while.

I'm on cloud nine now cos I just bought the top I always wanted from Springfield.

Expensive stuff... but my mum paid half the amount which eased the pain considerably.

The throngs of people in town area were massive and there were pockets of traffic jams here and there. It's okay cos it made it all the more fun. Marina Square seemed to have a bigger variety of stuff than Orchard itself. It has become my latest haunt now.

Oh man, December rocks.

I just bought my mum and a couple of people presents.

Heroes Season 3 just ended it's run & Season 4 comes out in Feb 2009.

This series is addictive I tell you.

We traverse far and wide on shady grounds

so that we will not lose our cover when the rain comes.

Everyone wants to be happy and stay happy for that matter, goes to me same for you.

One day, yet even salt will lose it's season.

The world is in heightened paranoia...

What I set my mind on, I usually achieve and that's how I got my entire room and the 5 walls facing my living room painted today. I've thus found back the momentum of going into the dirty grind of things and alas, the results was pure gratification.

I just need some orange paint to finish up the ceiling in my room. Yes, an orange ceiling would be unique I thought!

I was thinking of catching the play, 'Another Crazy Christmas' sometime soon. Not sure if I'm cash-ready otherwise, I'll just settle for the movie, 'Bedtime Stories' on Christmas night.

Oh by the way, I cannot wait for my friend's birthday cum Christmas celebration on the 24th of this month. Yeah man, party time!

Long break coming in 2 weeks.

Pretense, the best selling cereal of all time.

Diffuse glow rocks.

There was a really rockin event in church today, 'Show me what you've got'. If you missed it, then the world has made one revolution without you.

Totally loved the lineup of acts and some of them really put a smile on one's face.

Church is on the cutting edge nowadays and it's no longer hovering outside the borders of professionalism. It's the most exciting place to be, especially this December. I cannot wait for Christmas to come. I don't usually talk like this but really, I'm in awe.

If you're wondering why I'm here when I'm supposed to be in camp, well I took MC.

I did shopping today.

Oh yes, after a while of not really buying anything substantial, I finally put together some cash to get a pair of decent jeans so that I could alternate it with my other pair by the weeks (Yes, I only have two pair of jeans). I wanted a cheaper one at Samuel and Kevin, J8 but ended up with a Giordano pair cos the S&K outlet closed down some time ago. Okay your mind is probably chanting some mantra about how lousy cheap my clothes probably are cos I patronise shops like Giordano and S&K. Well, I don't really care about labels but rather the appearance of the apparel and I won't mind getting a dirt-cheap something if it looks gorgeous. And yes, the pair of jeans I got from Giordano looks... gorgeous. Ha! I also got a pair of black berms. There was a 40 percent discount for every item.

I headed to town subsequently to find a top for Christmas day.

Ah, enough of t-shirts. I want a pair of cotton long sleeves with yellow stripes to flow with the mood of the season. Ha-ha. I saw one at Springfield, Raffles City. $69.00 with 30 percent discount. Well, I need to think about it. I'll look around in the mean time.

Headed to church at 7pm for radical service. Everything was really heartfelt.

However, there was something at the back of my mind...

Earlier on in the afternoon, my pal in army told me that he was posting out of the unit on Dec 22 into another one. He has been slogging his life out for this outcome and he finally got it. I wish I could tell him that I was genuinely glad but really, I don't feel right. Not good at all.

I feel sad actually to see him leaving.

We have been friends for so long, after all.

Sigh.

The police finally came to arrest the obnoxious son of a gun from my camp.

Dare he come act like an emperor again.

They were right, Justice does have long arms.

It digs you out from every nook and cranny until it finds you and then, swallows you in your totality; you and your moronic character together.

Have you ever thought of doing an important something and yet fail altogether when you try to recall at a later time the thing you wanted to do?

Yes, I'm experiencing it now and I cannot seem to remember that thing.

What is this amnesia...?

10:46 PM

IT was quite an enjoyable time in church and thereafter.

I think the light's drawing me-

an emancipation finally.

Time will speak about the my future commitments to the Effects ministry and most probably my favourite amongst the media trade, the Post-production ministry.

It's time you put away your foolery, lift up your hands and celebrate life with me.

A handful of friends and myself attended one of my friend's birthday party at Lentor Green earlier on tonight which was essentially

a simple gathering and all the must-have photo-takings.

December seems to be a huge month for birthday parties cos I am attending one almost every week! Yes, there are two more coming up later this month.

Keep it here for the 411 on all the happenings of the month.

Friday, December 05, 2008

It's Friday and I'm back as promised. The week does fly when you are not consciously thinking about the time in between. This week, I made a decision to continue driving in army and in other words trade away my comfortable sleep-all-I-want-in-my-bunk life. I do not know if I made a right choice and whether I would be bogged down by the consequences of having a much rugged daily lifestyle.

Well, I hope for the best.

Anyway, I simply cannot wait for the next three days.

I'll kick off the awesome-ness by doing a few rounds about the track at Yishun Stadium before the gym.

Best. Day. Ever.

-Heroes
