Two and a half days of Orientation over, two proper days on Thursday and Friday and a mass OG dinner tonight. My subOG freshmen are extremely awesome. I no longer care if Orientation as a whole is awesome or not, but now I know I'm having a hell lot of fun with my subOG. First photo above's my subOG, second's the OGLs present today. My subOG is oozing awesomeness really, we not only had the highest turnout from all the Creudor (our OG name) subOGs, but we were really cool. Great OG bonding time today, the rest of the Creudor groups formed a huge circle to play games but we were cooler than that so we decided to let them be and talk amongst ourselves. A bit anti-social, but it was damn fun. Chatted about loads of random things, but great laughs. We hardly even joined in the rest in the cheering, but by the end of the night I lost my voice. Probably because most of the time I was so agitated I raised my voice. All of us were. But YAY anyway, I'm so proud of my freshies now! Plus I can't wait for the next 2 days of orientation cause we're so much closer to each other now! Too bad OG orientation ends on Tuesday and Wednesday onwards will be class orientation.




A week ago I overslept on the bus and went 3 busstops ahead of where I was supposed to get off. Saw a mamashop there and there, I saw this. Quite a crucial part of my childhood, every Saturday visit my grandfather will give me, my brother and my cousin two dollars each to get down to the mamashop to buy snacks. This is one of which I enjoyed a lot. Snip off the top and suck suck suck. Colours look damn awesome as well right, totally attracts you to suck it. Oh yeah, and if you've heard how I got my phobia of cats, yeah at that time I was walking towards THIS mamashop. Anyway now that I'm old, I realise the jelly just doesn't taste as great anymore, but still it was worth it cause I think they look very adorable. So reminiscent right?!

Yeah the world's always been about multi-touch interface as the new king in technology, I think iPad's going to start this revolution. In any case, what attracts me most is the user-interactivity of using your fingers on the screen, and also the calendar - hell it looks like an awesome planner. But otherwise it looks just like a bigger iPod Touch. Plus it's name isn't exactly awesome, I'd prefer traditional iTablet or something cause this just reminds me of Kotex. This doesn't convince me yet, but it might just get better, I'm waiting to see what awesome apps would be created for it. Oh but for the price of US$499 - 16GB (which is obviously not enough) so 64GB, US$699 it actually sounds reasonable.

Oh but then I discovered something. The iPad is almost absolutely stupid to use as an alternative to a tablet PC. Or a Macbook. You can't open multiple windows, you absolutely cannot multi-task, you cannot view flash, and a lot of others are limited. So in my opinion you should only get it if you don't have an iPod touch/ iPhone, and you like carrying huge things around. Which makes... not many people. Rich kids put aside.

Anyway first day of Orientation. It wasn't as great as I thought it would be, but give chance lah, first day of Orientation, if I was a freshmen I wouldn't be high anyway. And I see a few DHS freshmen around, which is great. But none I know personally though =x

Like I said in my Facebook status "I think I'm more excited that tomorrow's the last day of lessons, than that orientation's starting Thursday. Is this right?". Seriously, I'm glad I'm taking a break from lessons. My to-do note, which I slotted into my wallet, has never ever had a tutorial stroke out since I created it, no time on weekdays to do any work at all. Anyway I hope I'll try to fit in some time to catch up with at least 2 tutorials during orientation period.

Anyway A6 OG dinner today, it was fun despite the low turnout. About half the OG, but it wasn't awkward at all, which is great. Having not talked to some of them for so long I had this bad feeling it might be awkward.



Remember a few posts down I told you I was afraid Jayme Lee Lincoln (the fake account of a Christian) would take virtual revenge on me? I checked my blog stats (yeah, I check it at times when I'm really bored) and woah someone Googled her name to come to my blog. Now I'm going to die, especially when I reveal so much of my private life on my blog. Uh oh. Checking keyword activities to your blog is actually fun sometimes, you see some really random searches. I've seen people searching for really weird things and arriving at my blog.

Title's title, disconnected from my feeling factory, not an expression of what I'm feeling now. I think I'm picking up, I think you don't understand what I'm talking about. In any case, today was the last official day of my volleyball training. Really couldn't take it anyway, physics and chemistry remedials taking up 2 days of the week. And probably 2 days of wushu training as well. I think I'm going to slack off CCAs this year, wushu has 6 DSAs and 2 pending sports appeals, and woah they scare me. Not literally, but just that they make me feel like lousy shit. Don't worry, just mentioning. I think I'll miss volleyball training though, I don't know if its the sport or what, but volleyball's honestly a lot more fun, that's why I wouldn't mind staying on even if I suck at the sport. But anyway my friends reminded me today that I've got no O'level cert, so I've gotta work doubly hard, so yeah - sacrifices are necessary I guess. Same goes to all you Dunmanian friends out there hard, we gotta jia double you this year!

So anyway my brother's off to Hong Kong (for a short while I thought he was going to Bangkok) and good thing is that for the few days I've unlimited access to all his clothes, bags and DSLR. Bad thing is that he brought the shaver, face moisturizer and some others along with him. I had to hold the tiny blade in hand to shave yesterday. Have I mentioned that already?

Now my mum's kind of rotting at home cause she's no longer working, she spent the past days of the month completing and clearing up the offices and everything else. Now there's no longer a "在你做工那边", no longer Boon Keng taiwanese spicy honey chicken cutlet for a side dish for dinner, no longer income on her part. I think she's seeking solace by finding things in the house to clear up, in lieu of Chinese New Year, but she's done that for the whole of today. I know that sounds quite sad huh, but it sucks to know that I can't help her much. I don't exactly know what she's going to do. She doesn't seem so worried herself though, think she's going to help out at Dad's till she find something else. If it helps, tell me if you've any job lobangs for a 44 year old. And my stupid brother's still enjoying a holiday in Hong Kong. Maybe I'm just over-thinking things huh

The Annoying Orange at Youtube. Watch the two videos - in order, very important - cause they are only 2 minutes long and absolutely awesome. Could watch the rest if you're interested, just click on the link I provided above.






Okay, a bath, a movie, and then I'll start on those work. Study out at Chinatown tomorrow. I realised that my brother's flight is 6am tomorrow, so I hope I won't be sleepy and stupid for Sunday cause I sent him off. Oh, this is really outdated, I saw this like 2 weeks ago, but have you seen "12 days of Ris-mas" on Youtube? Worth the watch.

Had training in the morning, which sucked. I woke up at 7am (my mum woke me up half an hour earlier than expected) and I felt terrible. I fell asleep eating breakfast, fell asleep pooping, and then I took multiple 5 or 10 minute naps before I went out. I finally dragged myself out (at around 8.45am), but because I was so tired I ended up in Tampines MRT when I was supposed to alight at Eunos. I hate missing stops, and feeling extremely sleepy and all. I was about 20 minutes late by the time I got to training.

Anyway, on the bus journey back home the emo hit me. Does anyone else feel that college life seriously sucks? The last time I went out with my friends was... what? I don't even remember, but checking with my blogposts it could be 10th Jan with my cousins/family - but they are not even friends. After school lunches, dinners, studying with friends and 陈老师's farewell dinner do not count. The teachers have given us the CT1 schedule, and everywhere we go, we hear teachers telling us to buck up. So much so that it's drilled into us to study, and only study. Oh, maybe score a bit of CCA points to build up your portfolio, but that's just that. No teachers' telling us to have more fun, make more friends, enjoy life a bit more before we grow old and regret all these. My perspective had always been different, that I want to focus on enjoying what I do, what I like, even that I had to like studying before I go into studying. But now they are making me change my mind, it's a quiet Saturday, I just came home from training and the first thing that's on my mind is to study. Life really sucks like that. I try, but I can't do it completely. What sets some of us apart from the stereotypical scholars are that we are enjoying our social life. Having said that, now diving into studies would just make us a plain old lousy alternative to them, cause we study but we're not even as good as them at it. Maybe we haven't spent enough time, but will we ever have enough time to catch up with them? Doing nothing but studying is absolutely ego-hurting.

Plus I quite volleyball, and now I'm lazy and don't want to continue one of the wushu routine I've picked up during the holidays, cause there's zilch chance of winning and I hate to waste time learning new things. Then I'll be competing a single event when everyone else would be doing at least two, and then I'll start to feel sad and pathetic cause from 6 days of training a week I'll be left with 2 or 3, and trainings that I don't really enjoy at that. Yes, wushu's kind of boring. Don't worry, I'm the least suicidal, this is just a temporary feeling, and I've probably lost it blogging about it already.

OH GOD MY BLOOD BOILS. Facebook group, "Will the Mega churches please donate to Haiti out of their expansion fund?". I directed you immediately to Jayme Lee Lincoln's wall comment, I hope the link works, but anyway look for it and read the entire thread. The group was nothing against City Harvest or Christianity but she's taking it so personally and insulting everyone else and their religions. Stupid egoistic religious person. I don't usually comment on public threads or anything in Facebook, but I think this was the first time I actually did. I don't do it cause whoever I'm criticizing would probably find some way to get back at me, probably Googling and coming to my blog. She has 29 friends, which makes it a 98% chance that's a fake profile. When someone has the time to create a fake profile on Facebook, that person would have the time to try and do something against me. I should create a fake online persona to deal with these people too, but sorry I've got work to do.

Woah I haven't blogged in a long time. I've this small list of tutorials to do in my wallet, and the list just keeps on getting longer. I thought putting the list of to-do in my wallet would motivate me a little more but by now I could conclude it didn't work very well.

Oh recently a few friends have been asking me for favours to design stuff, 3 requests in a week suddenly, it's kind of scary - how did people notice I could? Okay I'm not listing cause I realised I'll just sound like a showoff. Maybe my designing hobby is taking flight! Just kidding, but I'd really like to be in a designing course, doing assignments and projects would be so fun, unlike being in a JC. But then again sanely I won't choose to go that path cause I'm not great at designing, plus I'm unsure I want that as a job. This is right in the face to my brother who thinks that playing L4D reaps more benefits that playing around with Photoshop and making blogskins. The hobby's actually quite useful huh. Oh speaking of that, the weekend's finally here and Perle I think I'll start on your VJ Knights' blogskin soon! Tomorrow training in the morning, those stuff in the afternoon. Oh and I plan to study out at Chinatown full day on Sunday. Even though my brother's flying off with his friends on Sunday to Hong Kong, I think I'll skip sending him off. Unless my parents force me to. Phoenix Cheer HAS to go on a year-end trip after the A levels okay!

Early morning training tomorrow, better sleep now. I've a few things to update, but I'll do them if I've time and if I haven't forgotten about them yeah? OG dinner today, not too bad, at least got bonding plus I made a few new friends.

I've spent 3 days and 3 nights - 2am nights at that - toiling to finish a farewell scrapbook collage from Miss Tan, our VJ wushu teacher in-charge who's been teaching for a hell lot of years. Me, Freda and Nicole stayed till 10.30pm to complete it yesterday, I ended up reaching home at 12am, having dinner at 12.30am, and then some fixes to the scrapbook which had (almost) all the photos stuck together cause they were all glossy. Lesson learnt: never ever print glossy photos if you're going to put them in a book without a protection/cover over. I was wondering where all my time went to cause I ended up sleeping at 2.13am, (I checked before I slept) then I realised that I was watching Taiwan drama serial on Channel U, 斗牛要不要 WITH HEBE! and something else before or after that while having dinner. But yeah, all our hard work, brain-wrecking for 1hour in Popular, tossing my brain through ideas of materials to use for the scrapbook, its general design and such. The scrapbook ended up like 5 times of its original thickness, and holding it in your hand alone already gives you the sense of satisfaction I swear. I really don't think I'm fit to be a designer next time, cause everytime I devote myself to some project, I don't feel like giving it away. Especially if its not a "free good", as defined by Economics. I don't like it that I've spent so much time on something, but then I'll give it away to never see it again. So if I do interior designing (which I'm a little interested in) I'd probably buy down every house that I really took a lot of time and effort to create. That's why blogskins, paintings and photography are great for me, you create them, they are beautiful and you get to keep them forever. I took photos of the title pages I painted, which was the only way to preserve a part of my effort. The other 56 pages weren't photographed, so that's a huge regret. You know, to make me feel a bit better about all the effort spent to eventually give it away, I took this scrapbook out on Friday and showed it to at least 3 groups of people. Come on, at least give me the compliments I deserve right? HAHA








The farewell wasn't great for me, cause I was from Dunman High (VJC & Chung Cheng had a great history of training together and such) I didn't know any of the grand seniors, and like more than 15 of those grand seniors came, which was high above our expectations. We expected 5. But I'm sure it was quite awesome for those grand seniors. I mean like, 5 years down the road I'd love it if the VJC juniors could invite us to this BBQ inviting past seniors, for us to catch up and everything else. Yes so if anyone's going to Google "VJC Wushu" and come to my blog, please, please do this.

I hope I don't take up so many things in the future. But then I only did this time because I felt for wushu, and I felt for Miss Tan. We wouldn't have to have so much to do, so much to complain about if I wasn't there. The seniors didn't plan to invite the grand seniors at first, just a simple farewell BBQ, but I told them my intentions, and thank god they did. But because of that we had to triple check attendances, I had to do multiple plannings to sort out the scrapbook pages, and it was so many more people to contact for the seniors. So much more BBQ food as well, if you want to be precise. And then the seniors wanted to give our teacher a few pieces of paper with our messages and photos on them, but I told them my idea for collating in a scrapbook, and I pulled so many others down to brainstorming for ideas, and doing all the scrapbook stuff, wasting so much of their time. Till now I still don't know if I should have saved everyone their time and gone the easy way, or have carried out everything in the same way. One thing for sure, I could see that our teacher was really happy with the scrapbook and everything, sure to bring back to her a hell lot of memory. Think it's the greatest thing I've ever done for a teacher, I didn't even know her well but it was a retirement farewell and I really couldn't bring myself to see it fail.


30 minutes later: Oh fuck I'm really damned pissed right now cause the last time I checked my brother managed to convince me that my phone plan would be up a month after his, which is about now. I just checked again for the exactly date, and it turned out to be fucking August. I've been quarreling with him for an hour now since sentence 2 of this paragraph, and now we're both extremely pissed at each other. I'm using Vampire Weekends to cover up his voice cause he's really just blabbering and screaming insults at me while playing L4D at the same time, back facing me. I think he doesn't yet realise that I'm not listening. Well, he will after 5 minutes.

BUSY - updates at a later date.

Titling blog-posts' annoying me cause recently I've been so uninspired, so sick and tired. Can't think of (act-cheem) poetic titles, while those literal ones are really boring me off.

I've been having too little sleep, 1AM or later every night when I've to wake up at 6am, and I'm sleeping so late cause I've been watching How I Met Your Mother. Stupid waste of beauty sleep. I could spend two hours camping on Facebook everyday cause after I come home from school/training/meetings I'm still feeling like my life's useless. I think I'm only watching dramas cause I've nothing better to do, and I subconsciously don't want to waste a day doing "nothing much". Studying would make my day seem more productive, but I've lost it ever since the re-papers ended, I'll need a bit more time to adjust back to mugging. The lack of sleep is seriously killing me, I've been on a late streak for the past 3 days, negatively put - everyday since school started, cause I'd rather sit down on the table at home and nap for 5 minutes than get out quickly. I fall asleep at least once a day in school, I almost fell asleep during volleyball friendly with Cat High - I wasn't playing the first set, and today I overslept on 135 till I landed in Ang Mo Kio.

School's getting better, picking up for me even though I'm sleepy and restless half the time. I think I'm going to abandon How I Met Your Mother, and instead watch Skins season 1/2/3 a second time cause Skins season 4's coming up in less than a month. I realised that Skins' got me to appreciate/enjoy much more alternative and trance music. There's a hell lot of those in their soundtracks, and really, try them someday, those songs make me appreciate the significance of music much more. When music isn't made to be popular, when music isn't for the massive crowd, when music is used to express emotions, feelings, something special to be shared between a small group of people who are completely able to relate to them and enjoy them. Singaporeans don't really appreciate trance music huh, pop's the only well-received genre, which is quite sad.

Yeah and I'm quite... exasperated(?) - don't know exactly what it is I'm feeling - that people (always) still think I'm in House Comm. Yesterday my new GP teacher was going down the class-list to name-list and recognise/remember our new names and faces, when he came to me and asked "are you in House Comm? Cheerleading?..." and several other options, explaining that he seems to have seen my face somewhere. I shook my head to them cause I WAS in House Comm, House Cheerleading (WE WON!) but not exactly the CCA and such, and I couldn't be bothered to elaborate. I could sense a short awkward silence in the class when the question was asked, but maybe I'm just making too much out of it. And through 2009, at least 10 different people have at once mistaken that I was in House Comm, and started asking me stuff about it. Telling the truth has always been 100% awkward, for both me and them. I guess if I'm optimistic the false impression could be a good thing, but honestly I'd rather not.

Another time I met my DHS ex-wushu mates, and my VJC J2 senior happily told everyone else I was in House Comm before I saw them. I stepped into Melinda's house while the few ex-Victorians exclaimed "woah, Phoenix Housecomm!" while I replied with a "whatever!" cause I thought they were suaning me about it. My senior probably has short-term memory, cause he saw me on House Investiture and totally (tried to) console me about it. I really thought that they were just kidding about it, till he mentioned it again sometime when we were alone, and I realised that somehow or rather he thought I was still in House Comm. So I cleared things up with him, but later that night after he went off, we were at the airport and a few of my level mates mentioned it briefly, but I didn't know how to explain it to them, so I kind of just acknowledged it and moved on to something else. They were the only people who I didn't clear things up with so far, and I'm fucking guilty. But how was I supposed to explain to them though? It was awkward TTM, and plus I didn't clear things up initially when I entered the house (cause I thought it was a joke), so the misunderstanding kind of escalated. So get this clear yeah, I'm not in House Comm, don't (ever) ask me about it. TYVM

I'm using brackets extremely way too excessively and exceptionally unnecessarily in an inordinate fashion right? My blog lack pictures too. Okay 10pm sleep tonight, 10pm tonight.

First day of school, I was expecting the school to be half-empty without the J2s, seems like it didn't make a huge difference actually. O level results released, which reminded me that my HCL O level certificate's still in Dunman High and they've probably burnt it. Can I crash anyone's orientation?

Does anyone listen to the playlist on top? Cause I just added 2 songs by The Morning Benders, a band from Berkeley (but I thought they were UK initially), I can't give album criticisms, but think: The Kooks and a weeny mix of The Beatles. The first song's "I Hate Camera" by The Bird and the Bee, pretty quirky, for the anti-camera-whores.

Off to do last year's tutorials. They are going to be discussed in class tomorrow, and one of my new year resolutions was to do tutorials consistently. Speaking of new year resolutions, a whole bunch of us was stopped outside the hall today when we were just a couple of seconds late, punctuality new year resolution ruined on the first day of school. Another reason why first day of school didn't turn out as great.

I've finally finished all the packing of books/notes and even though I've been doing it since I came home from Orchard after dinner, and it's 3(plus)AM right now, I'm still extremely satisfied! Hwa Chong has so much more student benefits/perks, especially if you're the hardcore mugger type. My brother boasts about it (a lot), even though he's probably one of those students who made the least use of all the resources. Oh yeah anyway my brother's left over a helluva stash for me to sort out, about a feet of econs, math and physics. I think if I ever finish doing all the practices, I'll be imba and get a perfect score. One year's definitely not enough to finish those, but the thick stash's kind of motivating cause it'll be real rewarding to see it reduce/deplete. Dunno, think it's just me who will feel motivated like that, others would probably be more stressed than motivated. Oh but because my brother was a H1 chemistry student, he didn't have any H2 practices and so we threw everything away. Now my chemistry pile is like practically nothing compared to the rest of the subjects, which suck.

Oh and you know what my brother told me his senior, a PSC scholar at London's Imperial College receives a thousand pounds of monthly allowance. That's not inclusive of school fees. Imagine that?! Who the hell would be able to use a thousand pounds a month?! Now I want to get a PSC scholarship. Yeah you must be thinking "dream on" right now yeah? I kind of think so too actually. But I'll aim for the planets and hit the stars at least! :)

Update: R-papers didn't go as bad as I expected, for the first time in JC life I've at least managed to complete a full paper 2 question, and I was mostly clear of what the question was asking. A few blanks, but I think I could manage a C. I hope? Good luck to everyone else still having R-papers on Mon/Tues/Wed yeah? I'll pray for you, don't worry Guanyinma's extremely strong, I was blessed and I caught my bus just on time on Friday, otherwise I would have been late for at least 10 minutes! I love Guanyinma I swear.



And today my family had dinner at Wheelock Sakae, and guess what? We got the tatami room I wished to go to! They told us the tatami room (VIP room) was supposed to cost $200, but gave it to us cause we made a reservation but they accidentally gave our table away, and they were full house! A leveled glass room, with a really nice sheet of black beads as a semi-blind, a personal waiter, a classic teapot with hot water, cushioned seats, and a great view out Wheelock Place. I thought the seating was Japanese-styled, with cushions for you to kneel on, but after I sat down I realised that there was this convenient hole tucked under the marble table, so you could sit upright normally without having to kneel! Heh, the entire experience was great cause we totally felt like VIPs and I could totally feel those jealous stares of envy when the waiter led us into the VIP room! TEEHEE great fun, good food, only regret was that we didn't bring the DSLR! Yeah we ate the gyu beef (beef with cheese) thing again, anyone going to Sakae would absolutely have to try that okay! I'll show you its picture so you could salivate on your keyboard. MUAHAHAHA!

Yes, STINKS with full caps! So I brought out those chemistry mid-year/promo papers the school's gave us before the mid-years in 09. Scratch that, we bought those sets of papers and it has cost us moolah - the school wasn't so nice. But who cares, at least I started on them.

I started at 3.30pm and by 4pm I was feeling depressed already. I've got so many questions I don't know how to do, and I was studying alone so I didn't have anyone to ask all those many different questions. PLUS I hate to ring up people just to ask a few questions - I don't usually do that unless I'm really annoyed by the question. I'm now 95% sure that I want my chemistry to be a H1. Let me give you some stats to back up my determination: I spent 2 hours and 20 mins to complete a lecture test (which I skipped), supposedly given 50 minutes. And then after that I moved on to the 2006 mid-year paper, and took another 2 hours 15 to complete a 35 minutes MCQ section. And that's with all my notes beside me! See the prospects of my chemistry-future?

I would pay to be J2 right now, my brother goes out every other day, and if he's not out he would be an L4D2 hermit at home. The only thing I'm hearing the ex-J2s complain about right now is the slightly-more-expensive transport fare, and I'm sure that's cause they don't have studying to complain about any longer.

Oh have I said I'm kind of looking forward to the start of school? Dunno why the small kids dread it so much, everyone's whining about school start on their Facebook statuses.

Happy new year friends! They say a new year brings a new beginning, but that's only consolation for people who had a bad year. 2009 was relatively good for me, last night at the beach I realised that not everyone was enjoying life as much, and that people had things to complain about. 2009 was still a good year. Maybe it's because I have low standards, but yeah 2008 and 2009 were good. Some choices I thought I regretted, but in the end somehow everything turned out so perfectly. I don't even know if I deserved all those, have I collected so much good karma? One of the main things I thought I regretted was my CCA selections, House Comm + Volleyball + Wushu. House Comm didn't get me anywhere much, and for a while I wondered if all those VOG, House Camp, Jog-athon dress-up efforts have gone done the drain, but looking back, all those friends I've made in House Camp, it's time wasted and results which suffered but wait, every moment of it was fun! Most (extremely, damned) important was that I met a bunch of great friends, friends I would really want to keep for my life. Phoenix Cheerleaders. Remembered that just yesterday we pact-ed to cry at home together if we don't have an overseas trip together after A levels. Double sports seasons kills, and I'm retiring from volleyball soon, but I've met a great bunch of friends in the CCA, I know joining volleyball and having training 5/6 days a week wouldn't give me any results on paper cause to focus on studies and wushu I've decided to not take part in volleyball this year, but then thinking back, I found Ernest Puey on the 3rd day of orientation and my intention was only to join a recreational team. Plus all in all, really. Great friends I've came to know, so no regrets :)

A short new year resolution: get motivated and study hard, because screwing up A levels would leave me only with the qualifications of a primary 6. Spend time wisely, save some money, treat my family better and still enjoy 2010. Just some I could think of at the top of my head, no need for a new year for resolutions right? But yeah main thing: enjoy life as much as I could, cause really I know that 10 years later, future Bolong would totally be looking back and wishing he could go back 10 years in time. I so swear.

Save some money, my mum's officially taken a break from working cause she previously worked in my gramp's company, but after he passed away the whole thing spiraled into this family politics thing between my granduncle and my mum/uncles. Granduncle was a control freak and he screwed everything and everyone up, much like a certain Mr Lee we know. So yeah, family income's damn little now, don't think it will be easy for my mum to find a new job, I hope I'll be motivated to save.



Anyway, I want to thank the Phoenix Cheerleaders for spending new years with. Honestly, I feel really blessed because I could spend new year with you guys. It was le-gen-da-ry! Double countdowns, cheap thrill with sparklers, Ian prying open MRT doors to get in, violently shaking hands and exchanging wishes on buses and MRT, night high and usual sleepover at Daniel's. Anyway this time was better cause the last time at East Coast with Yuting, Sandra and Tzuhsiang, we counted down in a car, and had nowhere to sleep properly at 3am. Love you guys!

Two and a half days of Orientation over, two proper days on Thursday and Friday and a mass OG dinner tonight. My subOG freshmen are extremely awesome. I no longer care if Orientation as a whole is awesome or not, but now I know I'm having a hell lot of fun with my subOG. First photo above's my subOG, second's the OGLs present today. My subOG is oozing awesomeness really, we not only had the highest turnout from all the Creudor (our OG name) subOGs, but we were really cool. Great OG bonding time today, the rest of the Creudor groups formed a huge circle to play games but we were cooler than that so we decided to let them be and talk amongst ourselves. A bit anti-social, but it was damn fun. Chatted about loads of random things, but great laughs. We hardly even joined in the rest in the cheering, but by the end of the night I lost my voice. Probably because most of the time I was so agitated I raised my voice. All of us were. But YAY anyway, I'm so proud of my freshies now! Plus I can't wait for the next 2 days of orientation cause we're so much closer to each other now! Too bad OG orientation ends on Tuesday and Wednesday onwards will be class orientation.




A week ago I overslept on the bus and went 3 busstops ahead of where I was supposed to get off. Saw a mamashop there and there, I saw this. Quite a crucial part of my childhood, every Saturday visit my grandfather will give me, my brother and my cousin two dollars each to get down to the mamashop to buy snacks. This is one of which I enjoyed a lot. Snip off the top and suck suck suck. Colours look damn awesome as well right, totally attracts you to suck it. Oh yeah, and if you've heard how I got my phobia of cats, yeah at that time I was walking towards THIS mamashop. Anyway now that I'm old, I realise the jelly just doesn't taste as great anymore, but still it was worth it cause I think they look very adorable. So reminiscent right?!

Yeah the world's always been about multi-touch interface as the new king in technology, I think iPad's going to start this revolution. In any case, what attracts me most is the user-interactivity of using your fingers on the screen, and also the calendar - hell it looks like an awesome planner. But otherwise it looks just like a bigger iPod Touch. Plus it's name isn't exactly awesome, I'd prefer traditional iTablet or something cause this just reminds me of Kotex. This doesn't convince me yet, but it might just get better, I'm waiting to see what awesome apps would be created for it. Oh but for the price of US$499 - 16GB (which is obviously not enough) so 64GB, US$699 it actually sounds reasonable.

Oh but then I discovered something. The iPad is almost absolutely stupid to use as an alternative to a tablet PC. Or a Macbook. You can't open multiple windows, you absolutely cannot multi-task, you cannot view flash, and a lot of others are limited. So in my opinion you should only get it if you don't have an iPod touch/ iPhone, and you like carrying huge things around. Which makes... not many people. Rich kids put aside.

Anyway first day of Orientation. It wasn't as great as I thought it would be, but give chance lah, first day of Orientation, if I was a freshmen I wouldn't be high anyway. And I see a few DHS freshmen around, which is great. But none I know personally though =x

Like I said in my Facebook status "I think I'm more excited that tomorrow's the last day of lessons, than that orientation's starting Thursday. Is this right?". Seriously, I'm glad I'm taking a break from lessons. My to-do note, which I slotted into my wallet, has never ever had a tutorial stroke out since I created it, no time on weekdays to do any work at all. Anyway I hope I'll try to fit in some time to catch up with at least 2 tutorials during orientation period.

Anyway A6 OG dinner today, it was fun despite the low turnout. About half the OG, but it wasn't awkward at all, which is great. Having not talked to some of them for so long I had this bad feeling it might be awkward.



Remember a few posts down I told you I was afraid Jayme Lee Lincoln (the fake account of a Christian) would take virtual revenge on me? I checked my blog stats (yeah, I check it at times when I'm really bored) and woah someone Googled her name to come to my blog. Now I'm going to die, especially when I reveal so much of my private life on my blog. Uh oh. Checking keyword activities to your blog is actually fun sometimes, you see some really random searches. I've seen people searching for really weird things and arriving at my blog.

Title's title, disconnected from my feeling factory, not an expression of what I'm feeling now. I think I'm picking up, I think you don't understand what I'm talking about. In any case, today was the last official day of my volleyball training. Really couldn't take it anyway, physics and chemistry remedials taking up 2 days of the week. And probably 2 days of wushu training as well. I think I'm going to slack off CCAs this year, wushu has 6 DSAs and 2 pending sports appeals, and woah they scare me. Not literally, but just that they make me feel like lousy shit. Don't worry, just mentioning. I think I'll miss volleyball training though, I don't know if its the sport or what, but volleyball's honestly a lot more fun, that's why I wouldn't mind staying on even if I suck at the sport. But anyway my friends reminded me today that I've got no O'level cert, so I've gotta work doubly hard, so yeah - sacrifices are necessary I guess. Same goes to all you Dunmanian friends out there hard, we gotta jia double you this year!

So anyway my brother's off to Hong Kong (for a short while I thought he was going to Bangkok) and good thing is that for the few days I've unlimited access to all his clothes, bags and DSLR. Bad thing is that he brought the shaver, face moisturizer and some others along with him. I had to hold the tiny blade in hand to shave yesterday. Have I mentioned that already?

Now my mum's kind of rotting at home cause she's no longer working, she spent the past days of the month completing and clearing up the offices and everything else. Now there's no longer a "在你做工那边", no longer Boon Keng taiwanese spicy honey chicken cutlet for a side dish for dinner, no longer income on her part. I think she's seeking solace by finding things in the house to clear up, in lieu of Chinese New Year, but she's done that for the whole of today. I know that sounds quite sad huh, but it sucks to know that I can't help her much. I don't exactly know what she's going to do. She doesn't seem so worried herself though, think she's going to help out at Dad's till she find something else. If it helps, tell me if you've any job lobangs for a 44 year old. And my stupid brother's still enjoying a holiday in Hong Kong. Maybe I'm just over-thinking things huh

The Annoying Orange at Youtube. Watch the two videos - in order, very important - cause they are only 2 minutes long and absolutely awesome. Could watch the rest if you're interested, just click on the link I provided above.






Okay, a bath, a movie, and then I'll start on those work. Study out at Chinatown tomorrow. I realised that my brother's flight is 6am tomorrow, so I hope I won't be sleepy and stupid for Sunday cause I sent him off. Oh, this is really outdated, I saw this like 2 weeks ago, but have you seen "12 days of Ris-mas" on Youtube? Worth the watch.

Had training in the morning, which sucked. I woke up at 7am (my mum woke me up half an hour earlier than expected) and I felt terrible. I fell asleep eating breakfast, fell asleep pooping, and then I took multiple 5 or 10 minute naps before I went out. I finally dragged myself out (at around 8.45am), but because I was so tired I ended up in Tampines MRT when I was supposed to alight at Eunos. I hate missing stops, and feeling extremely sleepy and all. I was about 20 minutes late by the time I got to training.

Anyway, on the bus journey back home the emo hit me. Does anyone else feel that college life seriously sucks? The last time I went out with my friends was... what? I don't even remember, but checking with my blogposts it could be 10th Jan with my cousins/family - but they are not even friends. After school lunches, dinners, studying with friends and 陈老师's farewell dinner do not count. The teachers have given us the CT1 schedule, and everywhere we go, we hear teachers telling us to buck up. So much so that it's drilled into us to study, and only study. Oh, maybe score a bit of CCA points to build up your portfolio, but that's just that. No teachers' telling us to have more fun, make more friends, enjoy life a bit more before we grow old and regret all these. My perspective had always been different, that I want to focus on enjoying what I do, what I like, even that I had to like studying before I go into studying. But now they are making me change my mind, it's a quiet Saturday, I just came home from training and the first thing that's on my mind is to study. Life really sucks like that. I try, but I can't do it completely. What sets some of us apart from the stereotypical scholars are that we are enjoying our social life. Having said that, now diving into studies would just make us a plain old lousy alternative to them, cause we study but we're not even as good as them at it. Maybe we haven't spent enough time, but will we ever have enough time to catch up with them? Doing nothing but studying is absolutely ego-hurting.

Plus I quite volleyball, and now I'm lazy and don't want to continue one of the wushu routine I've picked up during the holidays, cause there's zilch chance of winning and I hate to waste time learning new things. Then I'll be competing a single event when everyone else would be doing at least two, and then I'll start to feel sad and pathetic cause from 6 days of training a week I'll be left with 2 or 3, and trainings that I don't really enjoy at that. Yes, wushu's kind of boring. Don't worry, I'm the least suicidal, this is just a temporary feeling, and I've probably lost it blogging about it already.

OH GOD MY BLOOD BOILS. Facebook group, "Will the Mega churches please donate to Haiti out of their expansion fund?". I directed you immediately to Jayme Lee Lincoln's wall comment, I hope the link works, but anyway look for it and read the entire thread. The group was nothing against City Harvest or Christianity but she's taking it so personally and insulting everyone else and their religions. Stupid egoistic religious person. I don't usually comment on public threads or anything in Facebook, but I think this was the first time I actually did. I don't do it cause whoever I'm criticizing would probably find some way to get back at me, probably Googling and coming to my blog. She has 29 friends, which makes it a 98% chance that's a fake profile. When someone has the time to create a fake profile on Facebook, that person would have the time to try and do something against me. I should create a fake online persona to deal with these people too, but sorry I've got work to do.

Woah I haven't blogged in a long time. I've this small list of tutorials to do in my wallet, and the list just keeps on getting longer. I thought putting the list of to-do in my wallet would motivate me a little more but by now I could conclude it didn't work very well.

Oh recently a few friends have been asking me for favours to design stuff, 3 requests in a week suddenly, it's kind of scary - how did people notice I could? Okay I'm not listing cause I realised I'll just sound like a showoff. Maybe my designing hobby is taking flight! Just kidding, but I'd really like to be in a designing course, doing assignments and projects would be so fun, unlike being in a JC. But then again sanely I won't choose to go that path cause I'm not great at designing, plus I'm unsure I want that as a job. This is right in the face to my brother who thinks that playing L4D reaps more benefits that playing around with Photoshop and making blogskins. The hobby's actually quite useful huh. Oh speaking of that, the weekend's finally here and Perle I think I'll start on your VJ Knights' blogskin soon! Tomorrow training in the morning, those stuff in the afternoon. Oh and I plan to study out at Chinatown full day on Sunday. Even though my brother's flying off with his friends on Sunday to Hong Kong, I think I'll skip sending him off. Unless my parents force me to. Phoenix Cheer HAS to go on a year-end trip after the A levels okay!

Early morning training tomorrow, better sleep now. I've a few things to update, but I'll do them if I've time and if I haven't forgotten about them yeah? OG dinner today, not too bad, at least got bonding plus I made a few new friends.

I've spent 3 days and 3 nights - 2am nights at that - toiling to finish a farewell scrapbook collage from Miss Tan, our VJ wushu teacher in-charge who's been teaching for a hell lot of years. Me, Freda and Nicole stayed till 10.30pm to complete it yesterday, I ended up reaching home at 12am, having dinner at 12.30am, and then some fixes to the scrapbook which had (almost) all the photos stuck together cause they were all glossy. Lesson learnt: never ever print glossy photos if you're going to put them in a book without a protection/cover over. I was wondering where all my time went to cause I ended up sleeping at 2.13am, (I checked before I slept) then I realised that I was watching Taiwan drama serial on Channel U, 斗牛要不要 WITH HEBE! and something else before or after that while having dinner. But yeah, all our hard work, brain-wrecking for 1hour in Popular, tossing my brain through ideas of materials to use for the scrapbook, its general design and such. The scrapbook ended up like 5 times of its original thickness, and holding it in your hand alone already gives you the sense of satisfaction I swear. I really don't think I'm fit to be a designer next time, cause everytime I devote myself to some project, I don't feel like giving it away. Especially if its not a "free good", as defined by Economics. I don't like it that I've spent so much time on something, but then I'll give it away to never see it again. So if I do interior designing (which I'm a little interested in) I'd probably buy down every house that I really took a lot of time and effort to create. That's why blogskins, paintings and photography are great for me, you create them, they are beautiful and you get to keep them forever. I took photos of the title pages I painted, which was the only way to preserve a part of my effort. The other 56 pages weren't photographed, so that's a huge regret. You know, to make me feel a bit better about all the effort spent to eventually give it away, I took this scrapbook out on Friday and showed it to at least 3 groups of people. Come on, at least give me the compliments I deserve right? HAHA








The farewell wasn't great for me, cause I was from Dunman High (VJC & Chung Cheng had a great history of training together and such) I didn't know any of the grand seniors, and like more than 15 of those grand seniors came, which was high above our expectations. We expected 5. But I'm sure it was quite awesome for those grand seniors. I mean like, 5 years down the road I'd love it if the VJC juniors could invite us to this BBQ inviting past seniors, for us to catch up and everything else. Yes so if anyone's going to Google "VJC Wushu" and come to my blog, please, please do this.

I hope I don't take up so many things in the future. But then I only did this time because I felt for wushu, and I felt for Miss Tan. We wouldn't have to have so much to do, so much to complain about if I wasn't there. The seniors didn't plan to invite the grand seniors at first, just a simple farewell BBQ, but I told them my intentions, and thank god they did. But because of that we had to triple check attendances, I had to do multiple plannings to sort out the scrapbook pages, and it was so many more people to contact for the seniors. So much more BBQ food as well, if you want to be precise. And then the seniors wanted to give our teacher a few pieces of paper with our messages and photos on them, but I told them my idea for collating in a scrapbook, and I pulled so many others down to brainstorming for ideas, and doing all the scrapbook stuff, wasting so much of their time. Till now I still don't know if I should have saved everyone their time and gone the easy way, or have carried out everything in the same way. One thing for sure, I could see that our teacher was really happy with the scrapbook and everything, sure to bring back to her a hell lot of memory. Think it's the greatest thing I've ever done for a teacher, I didn't even know her well but it was a retirement farewell and I really couldn't bring myself to see it fail.


30 minutes later: Oh fuck I'm really damned pissed right now cause the last time I checked my brother managed to convince me that my phone plan would be up a month after his, which is about now. I just checked again for the exactly date, and it turned out to be fucking August. I've been quarreling with him for an hour now since sentence 2 of this paragraph, and now we're both extremely pissed at each other. I'm using Vampire Weekends to cover up his voice cause he's really just blabbering and screaming insults at me while playing L4D at the same time, back facing me. I think he doesn't yet realise that I'm not listening. Well, he will after 5 minutes.

BUSY - updates at a later date.

Titling blog-posts' annoying me cause recently I've been so uninspired, so sick and tired. Can't think of (act-cheem) poetic titles, while those literal ones are really boring me off.

I've been having too little sleep, 1AM or later every night when I've to wake up at 6am, and I'm sleeping so late cause I've been watching How I Met Your Mother. Stupid waste of beauty sleep. I could spend two hours camping on Facebook everyday cause after I come home from school/training/meetings I'm still feeling like my life's useless. I think I'm only watching dramas cause I've nothing better to do, and I subconsciously don't want to waste a day doing "nothing much". Studying would make my day seem more productive, but I've lost it ever since the re-papers ended, I'll need a bit more time to adjust back to mugging. The lack of sleep is seriously killing me, I've been on a late streak for the past 3 days, negatively put - everyday since school started, cause I'd rather sit down on the table at home and nap for 5 minutes than get out quickly. I fall asleep at least once a day in school, I almost fell asleep during volleyball friendly with Cat High - I wasn't playing the first set, and today I overslept on 135 till I landed in Ang Mo Kio.

School's getting better, picking up for me even though I'm sleepy and restless half the time. I think I'm going to abandon How I Met Your Mother, and instead watch Skins season 1/2/3 a second time cause Skins season 4's coming up in less than a month. I realised that Skins' got me to appreciate/enjoy much more alternative and trance music. There's a hell lot of those in their soundtracks, and really, try them someday, those songs make me appreciate the significance of music much more. When music isn't made to be popular, when music isn't for the massive crowd, when music is used to express emotions, feelings, something special to be shared between a small group of people who are completely able to relate to them and enjoy them. Singaporeans don't really appreciate trance music huh, pop's the only well-received genre, which is quite sad.

Yeah and I'm quite... exasperated(?) - don't know exactly what it is I'm feeling - that people (always) still think I'm in House Comm. Yesterday my new GP teacher was going down the class-list to name-list and recognise/remember our new names and faces, when he came to me and asked "are you in House Comm? Cheerleading?..." and several other options, explaining that he seems to have seen my face somewhere. I shook my head to them cause I WAS in House Comm, House Cheerleading (WE WON!) but not exactly the CCA and such, and I couldn't be bothered to elaborate. I could sense a short awkward silence in the class when the question was asked, but maybe I'm just making too much out of it. And through 2009, at least 10 different people have at once mistaken that I was in House Comm, and started asking me stuff about it. Telling the truth has always been 100% awkward, for both me and them. I guess if I'm optimistic the false impression could be a good thing, but honestly I'd rather not.

Another time I met my DHS ex-wushu mates, and my VJC J2 senior happily told everyone else I was in House Comm before I saw them. I stepped into Melinda's house while the few ex-Victorians exclaimed "woah, Phoenix Housecomm!" while I replied with a "whatever!" cause I thought they were suaning me about it. My senior probably has short-term memory, cause he saw me on House Investiture and totally (tried to) console me about it. I really thought that they were just kidding about it, till he mentioned it again sometime when we were alone, and I realised that somehow or rather he thought I was still in House Comm. So I cleared things up with him, but later that night after he went off, we were at the airport and a few of my level mates mentioned it briefly, but I didn't know how to explain it to them, so I kind of just acknowledged it and moved on to something else. They were the only people who I didn't clear things up with so far, and I'm fucking guilty. But how was I supposed to explain to them though? It was awkward TTM, and plus I didn't clear things up initially when I entered the house (cause I thought it was a joke), so the misunderstanding kind of escalated. So get this clear yeah, I'm not in House Comm, don't (ever) ask me about it. TYVM

I'm using brackets extremely way too excessively and exceptionally unnecessarily in an inordinate fashion right? My blog lack pictures too. Okay 10pm sleep tonight, 10pm tonight.

First day of school, I was expecting the school to be half-empty without the J2s, seems like it didn't make a huge difference actually. O level results released, which reminded me that my HCL O level certificate's still in Dunman High and they've probably burnt it. Can I crash anyone's orientation?

Does anyone listen to the playlist on top? Cause I just added 2 songs by The Morning Benders, a band from Berkeley (but I thought they were UK initially), I can't give album criticisms, but think: The Kooks and a weeny mix of The Beatles. The first song's "I Hate Camera" by The Bird and the Bee, pretty quirky, for the anti-camera-whores.

Off to do last year's tutorials. They are going to be discussed in class tomorrow, and one of my new year resolutions was to do tutorials consistently. Speaking of new year resolutions, a whole bunch of us was stopped outside the hall today when we were just a couple of seconds late, punctuality new year resolution ruined on the first day of school. Another reason why first day of school didn't turn out as great.

I've finally finished all the packing of books/notes and even though I've been doing it since I came home from Orchard after dinner, and it's 3(plus)AM right now, I'm still extremely satisfied! Hwa Chong has so much more student benefits/perks, especially if you're the hardcore mugger type. My brother boasts about it (a lot), even though he's probably one of those students who made the least use of all the resources. Oh yeah anyway my brother's left over a helluva stash for me to sort out, about a feet of econs, math and physics. I think if I ever finish doing all the practices, I'll be imba and get a perfect score. One year's definitely not enough to finish those, but the thick stash's kind of motivating cause it'll be real rewarding to see it reduce/deplete. Dunno, think it's just me who will feel motivated like that, others would probably be more stressed than motivated. Oh but because my brother was a H1 chemistry student, he didn't have any H2 practices and so we threw everything away. Now my chemistry pile is like practically nothing compared to the rest of the subjects, which suck.

Oh and you know what my brother told me his senior, a PSC scholar at London's Imperial College receives a thousand pounds of monthly allowance. That's not inclusive of school fees. Imagine that?! Who the hell would be able to use a thousand pounds a month?! Now I want to get a PSC scholarship. Yeah you must be thinking "dream on" right now yeah? I kind of think so too actually. But I'll aim for the planets and hit the stars at least! :)

Update: R-papers didn't go as bad as I expected, for the first time in JC life I've at least managed to complete a full paper 2 question, and I was mostly clear of what the question was asking. A few blanks, but I think I could manage a C. I hope? Good luck to everyone else still having R-papers on Mon/Tues/Wed yeah? I'll pray for you, don't worry Guanyinma's extremely strong, I was blessed and I caught my bus just on time on Friday, otherwise I would have been late for at least 10 minutes! I love Guanyinma I swear.



And today my family had dinner at Wheelock Sakae, and guess what? We got the tatami room I wished to go to! They told us the tatami room (VIP room) was supposed to cost $200, but gave it to us cause we made a reservation but they accidentally gave our table away, and they were full house! A leveled glass room, with a really nice sheet of black beads as a semi-blind, a personal waiter, a classic teapot with hot water, cushioned seats, and a great view out Wheelock Place. I thought the seating was Japanese-styled, with cushions for you to kneel on, but after I sat down I realised that there was this convenient hole tucked under the marble table, so you could sit upright normally without having to kneel! Heh, the entire experience was great cause we totally felt like VIPs and I could totally feel those jealous stares of envy when the waiter led us into the VIP room! TEEHEE great fun, good food, only regret was that we didn't bring the DSLR! Yeah we ate the gyu beef (beef with cheese) thing again, anyone going to Sakae would absolutely have to try that okay! I'll show you its picture so you could salivate on your keyboard. MUAHAHAHA!

Yes, STINKS with full caps! So I brought out those chemistry mid-year/promo papers the school's gave us before the mid-years in 09. Scratch that, we bought those sets of papers and it has cost us moolah - the school wasn't so nice. But who cares, at least I started on them.

I started at 3.30pm and by 4pm I was feeling depressed already. I've got so many questions I don't know how to do, and I was studying alone so I didn't have anyone to ask all those many different questions. PLUS I hate to ring up people just to ask a few questions - I don't usually do that unless I'm really annoyed by the question. I'm now 95% sure that I want my chemistry to be a H1. Let me give you some stats to back up my determination: I spent 2 hours and 20 mins to complete a lecture test (which I skipped), supposedly given 50 minutes. And then after that I moved on to the 2006 mid-year paper, and took another 2 hours 15 to complete a 35 minutes MCQ section. And that's with all my notes beside me! See the prospects of my chemistry-future?

I would pay to be J2 right now, my brother goes out every other day, and if he's not out he would be an L4D2 hermit at home. The only thing I'm hearing the ex-J2s complain about right now is the slightly-more-expensive transport fare, and I'm sure that's cause they don't have studying to complain about any longer.

Oh have I said I'm kind of looking forward to the start of school? Dunno why the small kids dread it so much, everyone's whining about school start on their Facebook statuses.

Happy new year friends! They say a new year brings a new beginning, but that's only consolation for people who had a bad year. 2009 was relatively good for me, last night at the beach I realised that not everyone was enjoying life as much, and that people had things to complain about. 2009 was still a good year. Maybe it's because I have low standards, but yeah 2008 and 2009 were good. Some choices I thought I regretted, but in the end somehow everything turned out so perfectly. I don't even know if I deserved all those, have I collected so much good karma? One of the main things I thought I regretted was my CCA selections, House Comm + Volleyball + Wushu. House Comm didn't get me anywhere much, and for a while I wondered if all those VOG, House Camp, Jog-athon dress-up efforts have gone done the drain, but looking back, all those friends I've made in House Camp, it's time wasted and results which suffered but wait, every moment of it was fun! Most (extremely, damned) important was that I met a bunch of great friends, friends I would really want to keep for my life. Phoenix Cheerleaders. Remembered that just yesterday we pact-ed to cry at home together if we don't have an overseas trip together after A levels. Double sports seasons kills, and I'm retiring from volleyball soon, but I've met a great bunch of friends in the CCA, I know joining volleyball and having training 5/6 days a week wouldn't give me any results on paper cause to focus on studies and wushu I've decided to not take part in volleyball this year, but then thinking back, I found Ernest Puey on the 3rd day of orientation and my intention was only to join a recreational team. Plus all in all, really. Great friends I've came to know, so no regrets :)

A short new year resolution: get motivated and study hard, because screwing up A levels would leave me only with the qualifications of a primary 6. Spend time wisely, save some money, treat my family better and still enjoy 2010. Just some I could think of at the top of my head, no need for a new year for resolutions right? But yeah main thing: enjoy life as much as I could, cause really I know that 10 years later, future Bolong would totally be looking back and wishing he could go back 10 years in time. I so swear.

Save some money, my mum's officially taken a break from working cause she previously worked in my gramp's company, but after he passed away the whole thing spiraled into this family politics thing between my granduncle and my mum/uncles. Granduncle was a control freak and he screwed everything and everyone up, much like a certain Mr Lee we know. So yeah, family income's damn little now, don't think it will be easy for my mum to find a new job, I hope I'll be motivated to save.



Anyway, I want to thank the Phoenix Cheerleaders for spending new years with. Honestly, I feel really blessed because I could spend new year with you guys. It was le-gen-da-ry! Double countdowns, cheap thrill with sparklers, Ian prying open MRT doors to get in, violently shaking hands and exchanging wishes on buses and MRT, night high and usual sleepover at Daniel's. Anyway this time was better cause the last time at East Coast with Yuting, Sandra and Tzuhsiang, we counted down in a car, and had nowhere to sleep properly at 3am. Love you guys!
