leap dayyyyy

whao, never knew there was such a thing as "leap day" quite interesting actually. 29th feb. once in 4 years if i'm not wrong. it must really suck if your birthday falls on that day. ahaha, hardcore, hardcore.

so well, the current situation is..... that no matter how tired or sleepy i am for the night, and no matter how long i've been on my bed, it's damn tough to go to sleep. even if i actually manage to sleep after awhile, i'd wake up an hour later or so.. i've tried sleeping on the floor of my room, the floor of my parent's room, my parent's bed, my own bed, the living room sofa and the computer table, and none of those will bring me to a comfortable sleep. and i constantly feel sth's missing in my life. having a fever now, and it really sucks. i hate fevers. urghh. so let me summarise: insomnia, fever, and the lingering feeling that something's amiss.

anyway, went out with CharlieCheng AKA yongkiat today. firstly went to west mall to look at aircons. haha, his aircon went bonkers i guess. so it's like, i met Moo in his smart MI uniform on the way. ahah! met chun how too. and after looking at aircons, we had our lunch at the food court. after that, we made our way to Ikea at alexandra where we looked for CD racks for YK. after getting the 2meter long CD shelf, we took a cab back to his place, and i took a bus home from there. came home feeling exhausted and feverish, and went to sleep. woke up at midnight and i can't sleep anymore. damn it.

roses

the past week has been kinda awesome i guess. this is gonna be a super super super long post.

tuesday
was BPC outing day but it ain't official cuz hajarAKAjarjarbinx couldn't join us): met kim first at HMV then we headed to the body shop, then to calvinklein to laugh at Izza's boyfriend's awesome pose. then we went to get envelopes to put my very emotional brother bear notes in. after getting the envelopes, izza called and so, we went to meet her and shortly after moo came along. zul was gonna be late, so we made our way to get drinks at raffles place and then, izza's excuse for nasi ayam penyet(AGAIN!) got our asses down to marina square! damn it! so we went to marina square and we thought of what we were gonna do there, when we somhow ended up in the arcade. kim and i play parapara and i got ranked D and she got a C. so i guess guys can't dance as well as the ladies huh? after parapara, zul came along and he gave us our cookies:D we then decided to buy more tokens to play daytona! wheee! wahahah, all of us played twice and i got first for both rounds:D:D now this is where the guys perform. but kim got second and moo got last, so uhh.. ahahah! after that, i still had tokens, so i played streetfighter. then we decided to head out when i had the sudden instinct to check for loose tokens in a certain china game machine. and so i did, and GUESS WHAT? i found a loose token! we then played the china game, and it was hell fun man. simple yet exciting. later i found another loose token from another machine! so we played another china game machine, but it wasn't as fun as the previous china machine. after that, we headed out. we thought bout what to do next, when we decided to go bowling. we played a round and it was amazing how i did. but i shaln't blog about it. in the midst of it, nus joined us and we bowled. zul got first place damn it! i was leading ok! after that, we went to eat izza's favourite dish in the whole freakin singapore: nasi ayam penyet. we ate, talked and laughed throughout. and we read each other's notes to us and i felt damn sad that school's ended and it's gonna be rare that we would meet up again. sad man): after eating and talking, we walked around taking photos and talking. then we ended up in suntec where we blew bubbles from our bubble pop rings and talked for quite a loong time. ahah. what would BPC be without bubbles? izza hasitated though. ahah! after that, we went our seperate ways except me and zul where we spent time in the train listening to my sad moody songs. we're cool yow.

wednesday
i was using the comp all through the day when at around 9, ray called me and i answered the phone. "EH KEL! look down your house and you see a guy waving ********** ********** at you?!" wth la! ahaha! then we shouted at each other for quite awhile, not on the phone, but from a distance of 18 storeys la! wahah!! i got ready, and left for basketball with the guys. we played ball, till ard 11 or so, then we went to the yew tee food court to talk. we were talking when suddenly i had to leave early cuz i had to rush home to lao sai(ARE YOU HAPPY CHRIS?)

thursday
i went out with my GBS bros to get running shoes. boarded bus 61 from batok to meet up with charlie cheng at his busstop first, later to be joined by BRAVO BEN! ahaha! we then took another bus 61 to queensway. laughed like hell la. bloody ben with his crazy old maurice jokes. ahah! turned on our "sensors" before we entered queensway and we scouted for shoes. halfway through, we ate lunch. and we continued our quest for the shoes. shortly after that i did find a pair that suited me. after that they suggested coming over to my place, and we did all sorts of stupid things ahah! soon after, bravo ben had to leave and then me and charlie cheng sent him off to yewtee mrt station. charlie came back to my place with me and then he decided he wanted to stay over. now who says guys can't have slumber parties? we watched tv and dvds, webcammed with bravo ben and gambled all throughout the night slept at 6am. damn fun.

friday
woke up and got ready to meet up with bruno to play basketball. ahah. walked to yewtee mrt with charlie cheng and after sending him off, i cycled to bruno's place to play basketball. we played and talked about how we missed PAE and stuff. after playing, we sat at a void deck and drank H2O and talked till 12noon. after that, i cycled back home to bathe and come online. later i slept at the computer table and woke up to my mom's screechy voice telling me to wake up cuz we had to send a cousin off to austrailia for her studies at changi airport. so i rushed and slept in the car ride there. sent huimin jiejie off and came home.

saturday
woke up at 2pm and got ready for rugby training down at bishan. met up with afiqhizami and syaffiq on the train and we made our way there together. reached there, and let me tell you, that training session made me love tackling for the very first time. normally i only loved crashing, but now, i suddenly love to tackle. weird huh? training was awesome and progressive except for the absence of water-.- can't wait for next week's training man. so after training, i went to the esplanade to catch B-quartet with Inch, her friend, Beni and Adam. many thanks to beni and inch for the invite:) i have to admit some of their songs are awesome man. but the vocalist's "muau muawu mwauu" thing gets quite irritating after awhile, but 2 thumbs up for the originality and confindence. we had dinner and we talked till it got pretty late, so i left first to catch the last train home.

today(sunday)
woke up late so i missed church. darn. basically i was infront of the comp for the whole day so there's nothing much to write about. ahhaha. just that it's pretty late now.

well, i guess beneath all the nasty thorns, there's the rose itself. and well, i'm just glad that you're somewhere better now. somewhere you can smile. ahhh, i still miss the good old times we had though. i hope you still remember them as much as i do. i sleep with it everynight. do you? gosh, i hate to say it, but i really miss you..

bungle


this is my stripper ex-team mate. i miss him.



this is my PAE class. i'm really gonna miss them :(

well, today's the last day of PAE and it got kinda sad. i thought about how i made friends around the school, and that now, only the internet connects us. the next thing you know, we're gonna lose contact. we're gonna have new friends and PAE would be a thing of the past. dismissal was quite sad cuz it was the last time i'm gonna see some people. after talking to some good people, Bubble Pop Club(BPC) went to west mall for lunch and to talk. then, you wouldn't wanna know the rest. ahahhaa. me and moo ended up at tanah merah. then we walked to bedok for fun. then we headed home. i reached home at 6pm, and i slept. then i woke up, dinner, comp.

v'day? awesome?

valentines day - a day a famous catholic martyr St.Valentine died for his reasons in Africa(sources from Wikipedia)

yea, and apparently, the day transformed to some love holiday by greeting card companies.

mine was spent with afiq straight after school. i gave him a paper heart and we walked around west mall, and then we went to talk at an old hangout spot. not exactly a lady i would dream to go out with for a day, but he's the next best person to spend the day with.(awwwwww) ahahah! then around 3pm, i went home to company mom at home. some v'day.

on friday, nothing really happened in school la, the whole day was basically fun day. ahaha! econs was interaction class where we were allowed to talk to one another. literature is movie period where we watched vacancy and izza watched my face more than watching the movie cuz half the time, she was looking away from the screen thinking she can avoid the frightening scenes. ahah! then after school, i went to meet up with ben for our GBS outing! whoooooo!!! met him at bukit batok then we took a bus to bukit timah market to have kopi and talk while we waited for charlie cheng to wake up and answer his phone. and after a few futile attempts, he picked up.he came to join us, and we went to the bank to do his stupid debit card. ahaha! damn waste time la. then after that, we went to bukit timah plaza for fun. that was when the "CRAAAZY OLD MAN" shit started la!! wahahha!!! shit man!!! wahahha!! i've never laughed that hard in almost half a year la!! waaa. until now i still laugh at it la! ok la, then after that, we went to NTUC to walk aroound and then dad fetched all of us home. ahaha. damn fun day with my GBS niggurhs. came home, rested, then left home again for carpark soccer. went home at 12 plus and here i am.

waaa, you know ah, now i'm starting to listen to more punk rock, ska and indie music leh. starting to get bored of metal. but really ah, punk rock and ska coming back to me man. good old times man.

badddd. baddd...

sister's leaving tonight, i'm sure gonna cry my ass off seeing her off at the airport:( and when going back, i'm gonna see the seat beside me in the car empty. after that, i'll reach home, and it'll be awfully quiet. the same sensation i'll have just before school reopens after a long holiday. sighhh, everything's just gonna change :(

well, sometimes it just seems that you aren't happy with your life and that it's all going downhill cuz some things are too tough to handle at that particular moment. and with anger, misery or frustration present, they're all just gonna pull you further down. but keep your head up high. take a deep breath, and keep in mind that it's just a setback in life. it's bound to happen, so just brace yourself. always remember that there's a solution to the matter, and even if it's too late to change it, just leave it behind and move on, you'll learn to forget the matter one day and you'll end up looking back at how stupid you were to let the minor setback affect you soo badly. and if things get too bad and a little out of hand, there are always someone you can rely on to share the load with. good friends, buddies, girlfriends, boyfriends, family, whoever. so remember to chin up when you're down people!

sddhhggj

hmmm, i dont think i wanna post bout CNY. the only fun parts were the mahjong and red packets.

yesterday was great, met up with 4e5'07 to catch a movie with ms cheryl at marina square. we watched kung fu dunk, and although the movie wasn't the least bit fantastic, watching it with my ex-classmates made it absolutely worthwhile:) the theater was pretty much empty lar! only my class, and about 10 other people watching only. damn pathetic. ok, after the movie, we went to the food court to have lunch. we talked and caught up with one another as we ate and man, was it fun. after eating and talking, Ray and ChunHow had to rush off, so we sent them to the MRT station and they took a train from there. after that, we didn't know where to go, so we decided to go visit nazirul at suntec where he's working. so like, we went to visit him, after that, we sat at the coffee bean and talked. after that, ard 6plus, we made our way home. they stopped at bukitbatok to have dinner and i continued on home to company my sis, she's leaving on wednesday:(

today was also awesome. went to school and got the special Bubble Pop Ring from izza. damn funny, haha, we wrote our names on the Bubble Pop Rings and we blew bubbles with it in the library. got chased out soon after. had a long break, and after that, we messed around with Mr Choy!Choy!Choy!!!! wahaha!!!! you wouldn't believe what we did la!!!! or more likely, what fariz did. damn mean, but damn funny. we talked about him and other things during the whole 2 periods of econs, and after the second bell rang for dismissal, we straight away made our way to Marina(again-.-) to have lunch at the same place(again-.-) cuz izza wanted nasi ayam penyet(again!-.-!) wahahha! ok lar, then after eating, we went to carrefour at suntec(AGAIN!) to get groceries for "the last supper" wahaha! no la, more of, the last supper together with my sis in a year and a half's time. while at carrefour, we kept on playing with the voice recorder thingy, and it was damn ammusing la!!! haha! me, izza and hajar were ammused with the voice recording toy, whereas kim and zul were obsessed with the drawing thing. moo was stoned la! whahah! after that, we got the groceries, and then decided to head on home. kim took the bus, and hajar and izza took the dunno which line to the east. Moo took another train with his friend who followed us, and zul went home on the same train as me. he stopped at CCK, and i stopped at yewtee. went to NTUC to get last few stuff, and went home.

i really hope the guys in 08A3 will keep in touch man. nice group of people. ahahaah.

ahhh, lemme blog bout the past 2 days.

4/2/08, monday

went to school as per normal, skipped chinese lesson and went to the library with Moo, Kim and a northvistasec guy. ahahaha, we're friends, but i kinda forgot his name. ok, talked bout lotsa stuff. then, there was mr peeping tom. ahahahaha. ok, everything was kinda stone from then on. went on to meet good o'l buddy safiee. went to meet him at Goodview and we talked and talked bout stuff. talked till 6pm or so, and then we decided to go travel ard singapore. we agreed to take a random bus. we first took 188 to harbourfront interchange, and further took a random bus 80 to sengkang. wahaha, damn fun la. we talked along the way, eating keropok gangster and sour candy on the bus. damn i miss that bugger. reached sengkang at ard 10pm. had our dinner of KFC. and everything was sold out. bloody ma'fucks. after eating, we went to the toilet, and then took another bus to khatib, and took an MRT back home. loooong day.

5/2/08, tuesday

nothing really happened on tuesday. went to school with bruno and talked to him till the bell rang for morning assembly. we talked about shitting. ahahah, really. ok, joined my class for morning assembly. hmmm, nothing really happened la. nothing special i guess. just many thoughts going on in my mind thru'out the day. actually wanted to go out as a class after school after admiring how other classes bonded really well, but a few couldn't make it. so after school i decided to go home. but i kinda regretted what i did to Zul. like, it all came out damn naturally la. i was too used to doing those kinds of stupid things, and like, i just HAD to do it la. sorry mann. ok la, then went home to sleep, and woke up to help my family with reunion dinner the day after. gotta get groceries and stuff. after that, watched a DVD with my sis, and went to sleep.


you know sometimes when i happen to talk to old friends like ex classmates and good ol'buddies, i will always feel like tearing cuz it's these people who made me who i am ya'know? we built up our characters together all though these 4 years of secondary school and we bonded together. i was talking to Afiq a few days ago, and i managed to dig up a photo of the both of us in sec2. and well, i sent it to him and we talked about it, and it got damn sad la. cuz that photo meant alot man. i'm trying to be as "un-gay" as possible la, but it i really missed the good times, and i'm really afraid i'ma lose them in the future.

hmphhhzzzzzzxxxzxzawdehet5

ok, i wanna rant bout something in this post.

i hope this post won't offend any of you reading it ok? it's quite rude and straight forward.

ok, you know about all these friendster profiles and blogs that have music played whenever you enter the page? i find that fucking irritating. i mean, ya, i know you love music, but why do you want to share it with everyone viewing it? 3 reasons why i fucking hate it. urghhhh.
  1. It disrupts my OWN music being played. you're enjoying your own music, then suddenly, some techno song blasts along with your music. irritating?
  2. maybe you dont feel like listening to music, and the room is quiet. then you see this person's blog and you wanna read it. then suddenly some chinese love song blasts and frightens you.
  3. i can't stand music that opposes my mood. i hate it when i'm angry and some techno song plays. damn irritating. i believe in music being able to change the mood.

so yea. you get the point. anyway, i really think twice when i consider someone my "Bro" or my "BestBud" cuz these 2 groups of people are damn special to me. but these 2 groups of people are nothing compared to what i want to address as "bestfriend". if you've known me for long enough, you'd know that i've never considered anyone my best friend of "BFF" cuz best friends stay together as 2 for life man. he'd stand up for you when you get bitched about behind your back and will never ever contribute to the bitching. he'd beat up anyone who treats you like shit. and he'll be soo close to you that the both of you will laugh about differences. impossible? nope. just one in a million.

ok calm down

i've never really noticed and appreciated how people came up with inventions and different techniques to do different things in general, until now.

take for instance, earphones/speakers. i mean, it's a bloody smart invention la, and no one appreciates and acknowledges the bugger who created it. liike dude, he turned electricity or sth into SOUND man. amazing. he revolutionized music man. he created a whole new meaning to music. he allowed music to be enjoyed individually. imagine your life without them. misery?

as for techniques, have you ever imagined how a group of cavemen ever came up with the idea of cooking food? think about it, would you have thought of sth so smart? mixing flesh with fire. that caveman has to be rewarded with the nobel prize award or sth man. it's just a pity he's probably dead.

ewtfrdr

today i went out to celebrate my mom's birthday with my family at some place in chinatown for dinner. so like, while i was eating with my family, i couldn't help but notice this old waitress in her 60's or 70's, and this certain guy in his early 20's also caught my attention. lemme elaborate.

The Old Waitress

ok, the reason why this waitress caught my attention was because she somehow showed me and my sis some sort of "motherly-love" when she served us. like for instance, my sis was using her phone when she served us this individual dish. then she told my sis in a very caring tone, "eat it while it's hot, it ain't gonna be as good when it turns cold" and she smiled. of course she said it in mandrin and not in nigguh lingo. then i thought to myself, "why is this caring mother/grandmother working in a place like this? why isn't her children supporting her in her golden years?" waa, i mean, it's quite obvious she loves children, then if that's the case, then her children must be fuckers to take her love for granted. damn poor thing la, the way i see her work..

The Young Gentleman

this guy here, I'm not sure myself whether he's a loser to be pushed around, or he does it cuz he's nice, but yea, he's damn nice la. so polite and when he replaces our plates or sth, he'd do it with respect and a smile. he always makes the effort to say thanks and stuff, and i find it really pleasant. if only everyone in the world was like him and not stuck up pieces of shit. then the world would be a nicer place to be in.

ok la, basically, today being my mom's birthday, i kinda realised that i may not love her as much as i do now in the future. and furthermore, seeing that old waitress made me think of how my mom might behave in the future if i lacked the love for her. so like, if you're reading this, remember that your mom was the one who gave birth to you, and she was the one who bonded with you the most while your dad worked for a living. so if you're about to scold your mom for a small mistake made, think twice, cuz you might break her heart, and to think her very own blood and flesh was the one, wouldn't be very pleasant, would it?
