Relationship

2009-12-23T17:51:00.004+08:00

When relationship is well it is like this song

where you think you can do anything with ur partners

Later on, when things take a turn for the worse, it becomes

where hurting each other is quite common even though both parties are so close to each other.

Finally when things take for the worse

how can one mend a broken heart?

Dualism and the ideal girlfriend

2009-12-10T01:30:00.001+08:00

Been listening to bee gees songs lately, all so nice and emo, bout love and love lost.

I realised one thing about relationship.
You can't have happiness without sadness
you can't have peace without argument
The meaning of happiness and peace won't dawn on anyone without sadness and argument.
The journey is tough, the road is long but there is no meaning without experiencing the good and the bad.
That's why we have the vows as such:
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part."
Many people focus on the in good times, for richer, in health. They forget the for worse, for poorer and in sickness.
Dualism plays a part in all relationship. You can't have one without the other.
One cannot experience joy of a relationship without the pain and hurt that comes with it.
One cannot express the companionship unless one feels the loneliness of being away.
That person completes you.

And because that person complete you,
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES! You are just too self-centered to listen or just refuse to work things out
Yes both parties must work together but if you dun even bother to try, why the hell you get into a relationship in the first place.

Enough of my ranting. Just want to state my criteria for a girl, for me to look back in the future to see how i've changed.

I want a girl who:
-is simple
-know how to love and what it is like to love
-knows that the relationship ahead has a lot of sufferings and pain but yet still chooses to be with me
-can live with a highly imperfect person, the world greatest idiot and jerk.

I guess my criteria for a girl is almost impossible to find. Where to find a girl who is willing to undergo so much hardship for a guy?

Well that's my ranting. If you have any comments, feel free to post

Let it snow let it snow let it snow

2009-11-28T13:08:00.003+08:00

the possibility of it snowing in singapore is almost 0 (actually it is 0 unless u consider snow city).

But Dec is almost upon us. The holiday season aka Christmas is upon us.
the terror of finding christmas presents has come once again..

but it's not all joy (not gen joy but rather the cheerfulness of the season) as i need to settle my medical with SAF (ord still so many things to d0).
also need to find out what to study for next sem so that i will be prepapred and not slack my ass off like this sem. (thankfully my course mate are all imba people and can help me in my work).

well, it's a same ol' thing all over again

Hall 8 I-Heart Supper

2009-09-26T21:14:00.002+08:00

Went for my hall 8 I-Heart supper which we went around singapore.
Went to old airport road (originally was Bedok North Blk 85), then thompson for desserts then finally to geylang (for beef hor fan)

Mango Snowy Mountain

Finally we headed back to NTU around 4am. Super tired but super fulfilling.
Met some new Hall 8ers that Kenneth (my roomie) knows.
Not much of a social person. Too many people names to remember and memory work isn't my thing

sleepy

2009-09-21T01:09:00.003+08:00

i like this part from the song superman (aka it's not easy to be me by five for fighting)

"More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me "

I sometimes take people for face value
people sometime take me for face value.

Do we bother going deeper than the facade that every one put on
Will we take off the mask that we wear?

Full Circle. ORD LOH!

2009-03-13T06:13:00.003+08:00

Today is the day where it goes one full circle. 2 years ago i enlisted into the SAF as a recruit but today, leave the SAF as a corporal.
What i've done
BMT
GCC (fall out)
EX Crescendo
RED ALERT
MSK
Signal Course
NDP
EX WALLABY
Ops B
ORD.

I'm both happy and sad, happy to finally leave the place where i suffered for the good part of my 2 years, sad cos i'm leaving a place of soooo many memories and frienship.. The stories that i cannot tell, the torture we received i feel is justified in the song this is the moment.. hahaha

This is the moment!
This is the day,
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way!

Every endeavor,
I have made - ever -
Is coming into play,
Is here and now - today!

This is the moment,
This is the time,
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme!

Give me this moment -
This precious chance -
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last!

This is the moment,
When all I've done -
All the dreaming,
Scheming and screaming,
Become one!

This is the day -
See it sparkle and shine,
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine!

For all these years,
I've faced the world alone,
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I've made it on my own!

This is the moment -
My final test -
Destiny beckoned,
I never reckoned,
Second Best!

I won't look down,
I must not fall!
This is the moment,
The sweetest moment of them all!

This is the moment!
Damn all the odds!
This day, or never,
I'll sit forever
With the gods!

When I look back,
I will always recall,
Moment for moment,
This was the moment,
The greatest moment
Of them all!

ORD LOH!!!!!!!!!!

Extraverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving

2009-03-04T11:58:00.001+08:00

Extraverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving
by Joe Butt
"Where's the party?" ESFPs love people, excitement, telling stories and having fun. The spontaneous, impulsive nature of this type is almost always entertaining. And ESFPs love to entertain -- on stage, at work, and/or at home. Social gatherings are an energy boost to these "people" people.

SPs sometimes think and talk in more of a spider-web approach. Several of my ESFP friends jump from thought to thought in mid-sentence, touching here or there in a manner that's almost incoherent to the listener, but will eventually cover the waterfront by skipping on impulse from one piece of information to another. It's really quite fascinating.

New! ESFPs are attracted to new ideas, new fashions, new gadgets, new ______. Perhaps it's the newness of life that attracts ESFPs to elementary education, especially to preschool and kindergarten.

ESFPs love to talk to people about people. Some of the most colorful storytellers are ESFPs. Their down-to-earth, often homespun wit reflects a mischievous benevolence.

Almost every ESFP loves to talk. Some can be identified by the twenty minute conversation required to ask or answer a simple factual question.

Functional Analysis:

Extraverted Sensing
The dominant function of ESFPs is concerned with the reality that is perceived through the senses. This type's prime directive is to examine the tangible through taste, touch, sight, feeling and hearing. ESFPs' need for new experiences surely results from this function. Feeling gives focus to the collected information, producing the amiable nature of this type. As perceivers, ESFPs do not linger on moral concerns unless it is in service of a Greater Good and/or a unifying cause.

Introverted Feeling
Feeling, which tends to decision-making in the interest of individual beings, is auxiliary to sensing. As with all introverted functions, feeling for ESFPs has a surreal, cryptic, quintessential nature. It is more often implied than verbally expressed, more apparent in countenance and deed rather than word or creed. Feeling takes care that playful pokes and pranks do no harm to the victim.

Extraverted Thinking
This tertiary function is at the ready to give definitive answers when the world requires them. It provides a measure of balance to Introverted Feeling, allowing the ESFP some level of boundary and protection from those who would take advantage. When overused or overestimated, however, Thinking becomes a liability. ESFPs do well to seek out confirmation of the soundness of tough-minded decisions.

Introverted iNtuition
This function is least visible. As is the nature of the inferior (fourth) function, ESFP intuition lacks a sense of balance. This type seems most successful in deducing patterns and seeing connections only after a thorough examination of the facts (which process appears quite unorganized and haphazard to non-SPs). Although some ESFPs may develop such abilities, the mastery of logic, analysis and abstraction is usually difficult and wearying, and not very much fun.

Famous ESFPs:
Saint Mark (Christ's disciple)
Dale Evans
Gracie Allen
Bob Hope
Eva Gabor
Willard Scott
Goldie Hawn
Kyle Petty
Arsenio Hall
Mary Lou Retton
Kathy Lee Gifford
Steve Irwin
Woody Harrelson (Cheers)

Pork!

2009-01-07T21:38:00.001+08:00

Pork is the most widely eaten meat in the world, providing about 38 percent of daily meat protein intake worldwide...

that's why i personally like pork..

When I'm Gone

2008-12-31T08:02:00.003+08:00

It's about the separation between a guy and a girl..
It's really a romantic song cos the guy keep wishing that the girl comes back to him

I especially like the chorus
"Even when i'm far away, the dream will stay
that someday after we both chase our fantasy
Love will bring you back to me"

It really shows the idealistic thinking of the guy that they can still be together after they both go after what they want in life and that love is strong enough to bind them together. I'm totally similiar to the guy, idealistic about love and thus dun put enough effort into the relationship..
PS: i've gotten over her liao so dun bother consoling me or anything

University Sex

2008-12-07T14:35:00.003+08:00

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - FEMALE arts students at university are the most sexually active while male science students are the most likely to be virgins, Australian researchers said on Thursday.
A pilot study at the University of Sydney asked 185 students aged 16 to 25 about their sexual history and awareness of the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia, the national AAP news agency reported.
Arts students were 'more likely to be sexually active and to report having little or no knowledge of chlamydia,' said the study, published in the journal Sexual Health.
'Males in the study were less likely to have had sex as a group compared to the group of females in the sample.' Science students were also less likely to have had sex compared to their counterparts in other faculties, the study found.

so the chances for me to get a one night stand is low.. that's good, meaning waiting till marriage is still possible and stands a even higher chance :P:P
unfortunately this study is made in australia so it's not really relevant for the Singapore context..

Last updated on: 22 November 2008 (Update Now)
Answered 30/100 questions (Answer More)

Trait Explanations
In order to interpret your raw percentages, they were compared to the first 350,000 people to complete the full MyPersonality Big Five questionnaire. This allows the way that you described yourself to be put in the context of how other people respond to the questionnaire. You should remember that there are no fundamentally good or bad personalities, as each trait description has potential advantages and disadvantages. To help you reflect on these, you have also been given some questions which ask you to consider the implications of your trait descriptions. Other people viewing your personality profile will not be able to see these.

Openness
This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer novelty versus convention. Approximately 16% of respondents have a lower openness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is down-to-earth and prefers things to be simple and straightforwards. You might say that it just makes life easier if things don't change unnecessarily, that the arts are of no practical use to you, and that you think tradition is more important than others do.

Reflective question: How do you react to change?

Conscientiousness
This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer an organised, or a flexible, approach in life. Approximately 16% of respondents have a lower conscientiousness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is impulsive and whimsical, and fine with it! From your responses it appears that you would say that sometimes decisions need to be made quickly, and that you make them quicker than most! You would say you are zany, colourful, and just generally great fun to be with... as long as someone isn't relying on you to get some work done.

Reflective question: How do you feel when you are working with someone who is very organised?

Extraversion
This trait refers to the extent to which you enjoy company, and seek excitement and stimulation. Approximately 72.6% of respondents have a lower extraversion raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is energetic and active. Your answers describe you as someone who enjoys and actively seeks out social occasions, and that you especially enjoy talking with a big group of people.

Agreeableness
This trait refers to the way you express your opinions and manage relationships. Approximately 65.5% of respondents have a lower agreeableness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who people get along with easily. Your responses suggest that you would say you are considerate and friendly, and think that other people are generally honest and decent.

Reflective question: Is your co-operative preference ever taken advantage of by others?

Neuroticism (Emotional stability)
This trait refers to the way you cope with, and respond to, life's demands. Approximately 65.5% of respondents have a lower neuroticism raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is generally calm. Based on your responses, you come across as someone who can feel emotional or stressed out by some experiences, however your feelings tend to be warranted by the situation.

Reflective question: Which situations make you feel under pressure and which situations do not?

to forget you...

2008-09-28T14:45:00.003+08:00

i was reading this book to forget you by low kay hua..
this book is really moving.. it talks bout the history of this couple together and how deep their love it is for each other. the style of this book is unique too, sharing the details of the history of their relationship from the guy's point of view and showing the aftermath of their breakup from the girl's point of view.
i won't be posting any spoilers here so if u wanna read this story, pls either buy the book or borrow from me..
One quote i really love from this both is this: as long as there is still love there is hope..
I find low kay hua's novels very touching and appeals to romance addicts (unfortunately i'm not one but i like his books).

This book reminds me of this song, nothing's gonna change my love for you

No matter what, the love for each other is so deep that no matter what happens, the love will still be there for each other.

I hope the girl i would be with will feel the same as i do, that we will love each other no matter what happens

an eventful day.

love ?

2008-09-07T12:33:00.002+08:00

was reading on yahoo news today..
something interesting about life partners
here is the excerpt
Men tend to wind up with life partners who look like their mother, while a woman is lured to a partner who looks like her father, scientists reported on Wednesday.
Interestingly, men and women focused on different parts of the face when they home in on a potential mate, they found.
A man's lover and his mother tended to have similar fullness in the lips, width of mouth, as well as length and width of jaw.
But for women, the critical features were the distance between mouth and brow, the height of the face, distance between the eyes and the size of a man's nose.
The choices are driven less by psychology and socialisation and more by evolutionary pressures, suggests Bereczkei.
Too much genetic overlap -- as can happen with incest -- is an evolutionary no-no.
But seeking similar genetic traits "may confer individuals with additional adaptive advantages," he wrote.
It could increase the degree to which parents share genes with offspring, enhancing the genetic representation of future generations.
Finding similar partners might also help perpetuate genetic complexes that have evolved to adapt to a particular environment.
There may be an additional bonus, which probably has more to do with happiness than a genetic imperative.
"Human couples who are similar in physical and psychological characteristics are more likely to remain together than dissimilar partners, possibly leading to an increase in fertility," the study concludes.
-http://sg.news.yahoo.com/afp/20080904/tts-science-sex-love-genetics-behaviour-c1b2fc3.html-

kinda interesting how it says our life partners look exactly like our parents?
maybe we spend so much time with our parents such that we want our partners to be similiar to them?
could be..
i dunno but i'm still looking......

uncontactable

2008-08-17T18:22:00.001+08:00

10 things i hate about you

2008-07-25T14:14:00.002+08:00

i just finished watching 10 things i hate about you.. found this movie while searching for the song going out of my head for the chorus i love you baby and if it's quite alright etc etc..

this movie really touched me especially the ending (10 things i hate about u)
i hate the way u talk to me
i hate the way u cut ur hair
i hate the way u drive my car
i hate it when u stare
i hate ur big dumb combat boots
and the way u read my mind
i hate you so much that it makes me sick
it even makes me rhyme
i hate the way you are always right
i hate it when you lie
i hate it when you make me laugh
even worse when you make me cry
i hate it when you are not around
and the fact that you didn't call
but mostly i hate the way that i don't hate you
not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all

she just cannot hate him even though she wanted to. isn't that simply sweet
haha.. i just can't help but feel sentimental haha

trust

2008-07-08T17:47:00.002+08:00

trust - what a complicated word..

i hate being trusted but sometimes the feeling is like so addictive.
cos when ppl put their trust in u, u have to live up to expectations which sometimes can be overbearing. and also when u dun live up to their trust, the disappointment in them can really deal a blow to morale..
on the other hand, being trusted means that u can get things done quickly, especially w/o the need of being checked thru.. feels good to be trusted
but sometimes i rather ppl check thru what i do so that they dun have their trust misplaced..

do i really come across as someone rather trustworthy?
i think so cos ppl seem to be trusting me, be it ppl i just met(like taxi-drivers willing to let me draw cash at atm w/o fear that i run off), or ppl i've known for a long time..
i rather not be trusted fully..
checks and balances

love can be so fickle and i admit that looking for a girlfriend is quite a difficult thing

visiting my old teacher

2008-05-03T21:27:00.003+08:00

today i visited my abacus teacher, li lao shi..
she taught me abacus in primary school, from pri 3 onwards.. then she told me to focus more on my chinese..
Also ying chern, the girl who also learn abacus from my teacher was there.. i actually went down 2 weeks before to get my teacher's no. and call her and ying chern to make arrangement to meet today..
went down around 12pm to meet my council friends to collect back my movie disc. then ying chern called at 12.35 saying that i'm late while i was waiting at the coffeeshop..
we went in, only for to find huang lao shi tell us li lao shi was not there. We panicked, only for huang lao shi (who call li lao shi up) to tell us she would be late.
Li lao shi then arrived about 2 minute later, saying how big we have grown..
She then treated both of us to lunch at that coffeeshop.. while eating, she asked us bout our futures and how we have been.. ying chern keep trying to show her chinese is superior to mine but i pointed out my drink to her (whatever).
Went back to the abacus tuition centre.. played my psp while waiting..
one parent there super strict with the kid.. scary how much pressure on the kids this days..
managed to get a photo of me, li liao shi and ying chern(she still have a jc girl look though she completed jc liao).. haha

Typically, guys like fights when they're at a hockey game, or watching reality TV. But guys don't particularly like fights when they happen in relationships.

We shy away from confrontation for several reasons: first, men win arguments with women about as often as Dennis Kucinich wins presidential primaries.

Second, we don't have that much we want to argue about. When Rodney King asked, "Can't we all just get along?" there were millions of guys nodding their heads, asking the same thing. For the vast majority of guys, fighting is failure, and quite possibly a violation of local noise ordinances.

We may have a few little things to quibble about (Where in the world did you put my Strokes concert T-shirt?), but for the most part, we'll do anything to avoid conflict, especially these types of conflict:

The "Blackberry" Fight

You look at it too much. Does that thing always have to be on? You work way too much! You're right, you're right, and you're right. When a man's work is pitted against his relationship for time and attention, he can feel utterly conflicted.

Many men feel an intense pressure to succeed, to be the one who's counted on, to be hardwired into whatever's happening, even if it's not much. And when you tell him that he should feel that way about you rather than the job, he retreats.

That's because he'd rather make a choice between right and wrong than the choice you're asking him to make: The choice between two things that are both important, but vastly different.

The "Ex" Fight

You want to know what she's like, what she does, why your man was into her, and why they broke up. Him? He wants to stay as tight-lipped as the CIA's man in Moscow.

Which only fuels the speculation - she must've been great, she must've broken up with him, she must've been the love of his life. The truth may be none of those things, but he wants to reveal as little as possible because there's no upside.

If he recalls any positives about her, he's afraid you'll compare, and think poorly of yourself. If he says nasty things about his ex, he loses two ways: you'll think badly of him for unchivalrous behavior, and wonder why he was with such a no-good girlfriend in the first place.

The "Finale" Fight

When a break-up is inevitable, a guy doesn't want to go out with shouts, insults, crying, and random appliance tossing. Even though this relationship may have not worked out entirely the way either of you had pictured, he doesn't want it to end badly.

Why? Because there's a big part of him that cares very much about his rep; he doesn't want to be perceived as a bad guy, or a mean one, or some jerk who deserves to be hit by the cross-town bus next time he crosses the street.

Even if he wants an ending, he doesn't want it to be a bad one - which is why many breakup-minded men try to make a soft landing back in the singles world: Slowly, gently, and perhaps unfairly as well.

The "Wedding" Fights

Not the wedding fight, as in whether or not to have one. But fights, as in plural, the kind that happen between the first ring he puts on your finger, and the second. He knows you want him involved in all the decisions big (who to invite) and small (what style napkins). He knows that "It's up to you" is usually one of the "Five Things You Should Never Say to a Woman," as this article artfully instructs (hint: make sure he reads and heeds it!).

But in this case, his acquiescence isn't because he's uninterested; it's because he respects that this is your (and possibly your mother's) big day, so enjoy it, do what you want, and don't get mad because he won't tell you if he prefers the butter cream icing or the marzipan.

i find this article quite cool cos it states the dilemma guys have sometimes..
to fight an argument with a girl means alot of things
but i just dun want to go into it

What Shaun Means

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.
You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.
You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.
You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way.And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life.You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

i feel old..
i was sitting in a taxi back to camp when the radio(it was on) started playing reflections of my life.. it's a pretty old song from marmalade but it brought back old memories..
so feeling sentimental, i asked the driver to increase the volume..
imagine his surprise when a young army enlistee ask him to increase the volume of a sentimental song.. he expected me to be some young punk rocker kind of guy and to turn down the volume.. i guess he was kinda curious why so we talked about the values of old songs and how its slow rhythm soothes the soul in this fast paced world..

that brings me back to one of my characteristics.. one of my friends had called me a status quo guardian.. i guess the sentimentality of my character helps me in this task..
i dunno why but i can get pretty sentimental.. like when i was young, i got this pillow that i wouldn't let go, when my grandma finally threw it away, i was crying nonstop..
back to being a status quo guardian, i guess i'm unwilling to change processes and stuff but i also acknowledge change is necessary so i try to strike a balance..

but still i kinda live in the past..
wish i didn't but it's just me

mask

who knows how good people are at acting
i know..
i'm a actor

have anyone seen the quiet shaun who won't talk
have anyone seen the shaun that never laughs but cries
have anyone seen the shaun reeling under all the hurts he feels
have anyone understood the stress shaun is facing

no.. because he doesn't show it

are we going to hide always or are we going to let it be seen
are we too proud to show our weakness or scared??

i always wonder...

Considering....

Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value - Albert Einstein

I dunno but i've been thinking about life lately (and it's not the first time in my life thinking k) and i'm wondering what i am doing about my life..
I've recently been down pes in army to Pes C which mean storeman (armskoteman also possible) but i think i would prefer those to being a rifleman. I don't aim to be successful in army or to be like the best soldier but rather i aim to help those around me the way that i can and it's not by going out there and being a RAMBO and randomly shooting. I don't like being in the forefront unless necessary. I prefer to support people from the background then i consider it's meaningful. I don't want to kill people but there is the argument that i'm helping people kill others which is something i cannot refute. BUT the thing is that anyone of us could be killers and would we consider parents feeding their children when they are young as accomplices? i'm not too sure about that either.. i'm just another confused idiot walking around..

Coming back to einstein's quote.. Man of value.. In this world of perfectionism there is really no place for such a naive person. Bosses want smart employees who can bring in profit. Teachers want clever students etc.. but there would always be rejects and faulty products of society. who are we to judge? but everyone else is judging, throwing criticism and insults. Really makes me wonder what society is now, how to be this person of value and not a person of success.

We seems soooooooo intent on success that we might neglect our values like to family, to friends to loved ones, to each other and maybe to the extend even ourselves.. i really dunno sia..
i'm really so lost and i dun want to grow up and see all this happening but i guess i have no choice..

insanity

2007-08-24T23:13:00.000+08:00

i dunno.. the world seems like a crazy place to be in right now..
wars, materialism, doing crazy amount of fatigue work, being injured and still doing training
i think i'm getting more paranoid..

people have a problem with me smiling too much..
what's wrong with smiling anyway??
not say we have long to live.. who knows i might lose a friend or someone close to me?
want them to know that i'm happy to be with them and around them..

well death seems imminent in life.. when there is a beginning there is an end
but people seem to think that they have a long way more to go in life.. putting crazy amount of training and trying to overcome this obstacle or break that record.. they dun realised that no matter what they do, in the end, they will die and all that they have done is futile.. we are born with nothing and we will move on with nothing..
i think people should be more concerned about the people around them than the things around them.. things are incapable of loving regardless how well you treat it but if u treat someone well and love the person, i believe that the person can appreciate what you have done for him (eventually).. well even if he doesn't, at least one's conscience is clear..
is it necessary to be the best in what you do?? is it necessary to sabotage other people for the sake of one's safety/career? i may be quite useless in many things but i always believe that being able to appreciate people is more important than doing things well at the expense of another person's wellbeing(emotions/career etc)
are we really looking at ourselves and trying to change the world or are we being the obstacles.. i dunno.. i think i'm going to be a hopeless case that appreciates people

no meaning

2007-08-04T14:26:00.000+08:00

seems like i'm quite insignificant in the larger scheme of things

currently on excuse lower limb and RMJ in army..
my right knee cap is currently out of alignment and i have tendonitis in my knee(basically the tendon is swelling) and it's painful to walk, run,jump, climb up and down stairs or simply standing still.. ppl believe i'm chao keng (feign illness) but my conscience is clear.. well up to them to think..

i dunno.. if i disappear from the face of this earth or didn't exist in the first place, would the world be a better place?? would there be one less hopeless person?? looking back, i see nothing significant in my life except some useless certs(which i wasted years getting) and valued memories of the friendships shared by those around me.. i dunno..

tell me the meaning of life then

LOST!!!!

2006-12-10T10:22:00.000+08:00

basically on 9th Dec(saturday) i woke up early to get to church to get ready the stuff for LOST..

Left the house about 7.45am and reached about 8.05am.. couldn't open the room cos i couldn't find the secretariat to get the keys.. did a quick briefing then headed to MOBIL to get some breakfast and the 1.5L of water that the groups needed later..
Once i came back, the people were already there.. well it was 9pm already.. I hurried to get the key from the secretariat and opened the double rooms.
Later inside those rooms, we were just hanging around while Brandon did the groupings..Once that was done, we settled into a big circle where we started off with ice breakers, whacko, hunter and bear etc..
Later, we split into our groups and completed the first station (which was mine), there was imba questions that was asked.. then from there i followed Kelly groups. People inside the group was 3 guys (me marcus and emman) and 5 girls (kelly, jonella, caroline,geraldine, marie)

The 5 girls (Jonella, Kelly, Marie, Geraldine, Caroline)

We headed down to Sts Peter and Paul church only to find that Kenji haven't reach yet.. So we sat at the steps and talked about the two saints. Then we saw kenji hurrying into the church from the side gate with JOSH!!! Josh haven't found his church. Being a nice guy he is, Kenji decided to give us the clue without any difficulty (obviously he was going to make it difficult by hiding in all the weird places).

Group 1 with Kenji

So from there, we made our way from Sts Peter and Paul and reached Immaculate Heart of Mary. At Immaculate Heart of Mary, Petrina made us solve a puzzle. On our way off, Marie didn't feel too well so all of us stopped to allow us to allow her to rest.

At IHM with Petrina

From there, i took jonella, emman and rachel to Sts Peter and Paul. Mass was super good cos the priest tried to make it relevant to us. After that we made our way to Esplanade

At Sts Peter and Paul (whole group)

Whole group at Christmas Tree

We split up at Esplanade, then came up back to makan there.. had price presentation before we went starbucks for chillout.. went back after that.. haha.. want photos contact me lor strange_guy88@hotmail.com.. remember.. i charge 10 bucks per photo

SRJC 2S01 Class Chalet

2006-11-28T19:43:00.000+08:00

I had my class chalet on monday.. it's was damn cool sia..
Had to wake up to meet them at Pasir Ris Interchange at 1pm.. reached about 12.30pm and there was no one there.. got damn sianx of waiting.. about 1.10pm Poh Chong arrived and then we had to wait for justine shaoting and lymon.. haha.. PC went off first while lymon, justine, shaoting and me went shopping for the remaining stuff (metal foil and scrubbers). We then took a cab down all the way to Coasta Sand Resort.. was exactly $4. haha we took the taxi not becos we were rich or anything but rather it was starting to drizzle.. it was damn funny inside the taxi.. the taxi driver taught us some malay words and how to use them..
Upon arriving, i took out my lappy and started playing dota downstairs while Wei Sheng and gang started playing risk upstairs.. it was pretty boring playing alone.. later Yong Tao and Lymon took turns to play DOTA on my com.. haha.. like i said, using a lappy with ppl around is anti-social behaviour.
Well.. was about 4pm then we started the BBQ pit.. haha.. it was still raining animals then.. haha we started the fire under the shelter.. i was the official butterer while weisheng hui yu and the rest were in charge of dumping food onto the bbq pit.. haha.. did those stuff till i needed to go off for some stuff..
When i came back about 10pm, Mrs Wong, Ms Tan and Mr Koh was there and everyone was at the basement chatting and talking crap.. it wasn't long till mrs wong and ms tan had to go off. Mr Koh stayed behind.. it was kinda cool cos all the scary stuff came out.. some of them didn't bother but rather kept their eyes glued upon the TV set. We were talking about ghost and all the scary stories.. i've heard countless over the years so i wasn't scared.. Justine got pretty spooked out and was clinging to lymon the entire time when we were talking about it.. Yong Tao, Mr Koh, lymon and i were churning out whatever ghost story that we know and stuff like that.. well.. when mr Koh left, he took yong tao, shaoting and fanny.. leaving the 13 of us behind (me, Jensen, Amanda, Peggy, Justine, Lymon, Olivia, Poh Chong, Wei Sheng, Colin, Raymond, Bryan and Poh Chong)
After Mr Koh left, we just sat around and chit chat.. Bryan was sleeping upstairs on one bed with Jensen and Amanda on the other. Peggy was on the mattress around 1am like that. haha.. basically, I, Justine, Raymond, Olivia, and Hui yu gathered at the foot of the steps.. Colin was sleeping on the mattress downstairs with Wei Sheng. Lymon was playing DOTA while PC was watching him. Basically, Hui yu and Justine was asking questions about Christianity and Catholicism.. haha.. Later when Amanda joined us(Bryan apparently kept her and Jensen awake with his snores) she said to keep away from the topic of scary stuff since it was approaching 3am. but there was a cause to be concerned cos i heard some funny noises and one of them was like a old railway with train screeching and stuff.. basically none of them admit then that they heard the sound but later during the day said they heard the same sound.
well.. Lymon and Justine soon retired into the freezing bedroom where Justine was apparently hugging lymon the entire night cos it was really freezing.. we went for a short night walk around the perimeters of Coasta Sands and returned.. basically everybody then went to sleep but i still remained awake.. Jensen and Amanda occupied the stairs while the rest took the mattress and slept there.. When Amanda got more restless, both of them retired to the ground area leaving me on the steps to think and write.. Colin later joined me and we started chatting.. Olivia couldn't sleep cos of someone's intense snoring and retreated to the steps where the few of us chatted around 4plus am. Basically i went into the room for a while and came out again and started chatting again.
Around 6am, Bryan woke up and joined us and started chatting.. Justine also came out and complained about the sub-zero condition of the room. Later she returned to Lymon's side and went back to sleep. Colin, Wei Sheng and the rest went out to buy breakfast or something like that. Amanda was at the porch area looking pale-faced and Jensen was inside resting on the mattress.. Boy was he exhausted the entire night.. I went up and spend some time resting in the bedroom till they returned. By then, Amanda was handing out steaming cups of Milo and the rest was bustling with minor packing up. Hui Yu and Wei Sheng restarted the pit and we started cooking the remants of the Satay and chinese sausages. After breakfast, we started clearing up and left the place.. haha.. Below are some photos of the times we had:

GP-fication

2006-11-02T15:13:00.000+08:00

well had GP paper today.. damn sianx.. war or conflict didn't come out.. had to settle for some question on whether crime done long ago can be forgotten.. then i like the comprehension.. first thing i thought about the passage was rubbish.. it was all about freedom and equality.. well.. considering the fact that the word is subjective i didn't want to say much..
LOVED the AQ cos it asked how free i wanted to be.. haha..
well being a highly sympathetic person(my friends will all know i'm not) i wrote some crap about wanting only the basics cos other people out there dun really have those basics.. well in a sense it's true cos i get all the freedom i want already and it's true there are people lacking the very freedom that we are enjoying at the moment (like air con, clean surroundings).. well.. cannot say much about that cos i'm equally guilty of it as well..
anyway.. hopefully can do well.. anyway.. i want chicken wings

PES

2006-11-01T22:11:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was cool:P

2006-10-29T11:49:00.000+08:00

I had the time of my life yesterday.. wonderful break from the monotony of mugging.. yesterday woke up late and then played dota the entire time at home.. then i left my house to go to church..
after Novena i went to study biology (the subject not the specimen), revised my translation and transcription and reverse transcription.

Then we had youth mass. quite limited as in no. of ppl.. as usual there was an abundance of places (means gen got to do something about it)

Later i went to east coast with Jon, Josh, Bran, Rachel (tay), Rachel (lim), Emman and Heng.. we went to a pub where there was a live band playing and soccer being played(liverpool vs Aston Villa).. it was quite cool to hear "GOAL!!" each time a player scored.. as usual we joined in the merryment although we dunno what was going on.. they all (with exception to the underage trio) bought alcohol.. not saying i dun like alcohol but i'm broke.. haha.. and it was cool trying out the different drinks.. only stuck to trying 2 out.. dun want to drink too much cos i still beginner drinker.. haha.. then we took photos and was kinda cool hanging out there.. anyway.. i got evidence if u dun believe me

Heng being flashed

Groupie1

Groupie 2

Me reaching out for my cam

Chicken wings anyone

Haha.. that was cool right.. well.. i'll be legal in a couple of wings time.. yay

Study and Pray

2006-10-24T23:41:00.000+08:00

today woke up late as usual.. went to study with pet in church.. touched on maths and physics..
well.. she had to go but i found unlikely company in marcus who was in church.. chatted with him for a while about chemistry and chem engineering before he had to go

then kenji josh and my cousin came down for the meeting with fr fred.. was a blast.. haha no details here.. privacy..

haha night

Consultation

2006-10-23T21:18:00.000+08:00

Guess what i overslept again today..
today quite fruitful, clarified all my doubts on chemistry and proceeded with lame questions..
quite eventful too.. my father fetched me to SRJC for the first time in my life... normally the bus would be suffice but since it was along the way (his office was nearby)

Had chem consultation with Ms Tan EY.. Justine, Lymon Raymond and Shaoting was there.. all the questions asked was damn good.. haha glad to be in this slot.. well i can sympathise with my teachers.. they have consulation almost the whole day.. and they repeat the same thing over and over again.. haiz.. thought job sia..

well i saw some things that really troubled me.. well.. i saw a healthy young woman in he 30s settled on a green seat on the bus.. Was she handicapped in any way? i doubt so.. but i think she really lack on comprehension and compassion. Compassion becos it was for handicapped but i think she lack comprehension cos she cannot understand it's for the handicapped.. well i guess the focus on comprehension in primary school all the way to secondary has created such people, maybe the education system should shift to a more hands-on approach.. would be more cool..

well better mug now.. syonara

HIGH ON DRUGS

2006-10-21T23:38:00.000+08:00

as the post goes, yes i'm high on drugs.. i took too much biology N chemistry today.. now super high.. haha
well today studied with kelvin and li shan at the bedok macs.. quite a cool place to study.. cos there are alot of ppl making noise and trying to disrupt ur pleasant studying.. being a nice person that i am, i did not unleash the full potential of my wrath.. instead i chose to vent my anger on my poor chemistry book, writing furiously the anger of my wrath about giant ionic structure and high charge density, not forgetting the important d-d transition to a higher energy level. trust me, it was a sight to behold..

Later went to church for novena and mass.. but first some quiet moment in the adoration room would hurt.. then i went to the youth corner to slack and relax and mug slightly.. was kinda fun helping ho ray do stuff then play a fool.. then met up with petrina for novena, she's my study buddy and novena buddy.. haha.. cool having her around cos need to work with her for gen revamp.. Brandon, Heng and Josh came late for mass as usual.. what can u expect from them..

well later i went out for dinner with my family at this ulu part of parkway to celebrate my grandma's birthday, in a way i'm like my grandma.. well she and i dun mind simple food as long as it's edible.. in my entire family she's the one doting on me the most, caring more about my welfare and everything.. although she does nag at times, i really feel that she is really concerned about me deep down..

After dinner i went out with the gen ppl to play CS and Battlefield 2.. it was a really destressing moment, all my anger, all my sorrow and all my love (quote from Gundam G) went into it.. quite interesting cos my first time playing battlefield.. brandon and i were backstabbing each other and stuff like that..

took the bus home and arrive to the point where u the reader (the very free reader) is reading this.. well i think if u have A levels coming and u are reading this, u are too free indeed.. go study or something k.. dun want u to fail..
haha better go off soon nightz

Mugging and Enlistment

2006-10-20T21:55:00.000+08:00

Well.. today was mugging like mad in church with petrina, she is my study buddy this few days.. hard to find easties to mug with me..
after mass went to Macs to study and then got a call from my mum saying my enlistment letter has already arrived..

I'm going in on the 15MAR 2006.. YAY i'm so happy.. meaning i got time to do my Genesis stuff..
Well Adeline(18SC) told me that deng is going in on the same day.. i immediately called him and realized he and i have the same enlistment day and venue.. cool right.. haha got a buddy with me at least for this rough journey ahead..
YAY

Sandcastle

2006-10-20T14:36:00.000+08:00

haha.. sometimes life is like this :

A little boy is on his knees scooping and packing sand into a bright blue bucket. Then he overturns the bucket on the surface of the beach and lifts it. To his delight a small castle tower is created.
All afternoon he works, scooping out the moat, buiding the walls. Adding bottles, leaves and ice-cream sticks to make bridges and corridors.
At the same time, a man is in his office. At his desk he shuffles papers into stacks and delegates assignments. He cradles the phone on his shoulder and punches the keyboard with his fingers. Contracts are signed and much to his delight, a profit is made.
All his life he will work. Formulating the plans, forecasting the future. An empire will be built.
Two builders of two castles. They have much in common. They shape things. They see nothing and make something. They are diligent and determined. And for both the tide will rise and the end will come.
Yet that is where the similarities cease. For the boy sees the end while the man ignores it.
At dusk, as the waves near, the wise child jumps to his feet and begins to clap. There is no sorrow. No fear. No regret. He knew this would happen. He is not surprised. And when the waves crash onto his castle and his masterpiece is sucked into the sea, he smiles. He picks up his tools, takes his father's hand, and goes home.
The grownup, however, is not so wise. As the wave of years collapses on his castle he is terrified. He hovers over the sandy monument to protect it. He blocks the waves from the walls he has made. Salt-water soaked and shivering, he snarls at the incoming tide. "It's my castle," he defies.
The ocean need not respond. It knows to whom the sand belongs...

going to mug liao bb

Amazing Sia

2006-10-14T01:09:00.000+08:00

i think God's love is amazing.. He ransomed us by his death on the cross.. not when we are worthy of it but when we were still unworthy.. We are the traitor race to whom God gave us the choice to love and serve him..we didn't and yet God did the unthinkable.. He send His only son Jesus to die and not only just to die but die on the cross, the most painful and most shameful death on the cross.. No one in their right mind would do such a thing.. But God is not just such a person but He is God.. He did the unthinkable.. He did it for me.. and not just for me.. it's for everybody.. Only God could turn our sins and use it for His Glory.. Only God would do what man cannot fanthom.. Only God could work such wonders.. Holy is His name.. All Knees shall bow every tongue confess that u are Jesus Christ the Lord..
That's why He is the name above all names.. He is Worthy to be praised and my heart will sing and forever sing How Great is Our God!!!!!!!
God's love is better than anything.. I just want to keep falling in Love with Him who have created the sun moon, sky and me!!! but i know i will always fall prey to sin.. that's why i'm going to turn to Him no matter how unworthy or undeserving that i am..

He is really better than anything in this world

Better than life - hillsongs

Better than the riches of this world Better than the sound of my friends voices
Better than the biggest dreams in my heart and that's just the start
Better than getting what I say I need Better than living the life that I want to
Better than the love anyone could give
Your love is

You hold me now in Your arms You never let me go

And You oh Lord made the sunshine the moonlight and the nightsky
You give me breath and all Your love
I give my heart to You
Because I can't stop falling in love with You
I'll never stop falling in love with You

Kinda miss school.. well need to start mugging for my A levels.. well blogger was down last night so i could only do it today..

PS: well.. my birthday is coming up and it falls on my Maths and Bio paper.. it's sooooo unfair.. but well.. sure got alot of time to slack after A levels :P

OUCH!!!!

2006-10-09T20:22:00.000+08:00

haha.. today i went to school late.. haha.. overslept lar.. what u expect??
haha skipped maths lecture.. too boring to go thru MJC paper, something which i haven't done..
instead went to the bookshop to buy prelim papers..
then went to council room to study.. pretty cool..
then went for biochem lecture.. haha half the class that was present thought it was time trial and didn't come.. ms tan went to find them and brought them back for the lecture..
then went for bio time trial.. i mean bio slack trial.. basically i never study for that and instead did my bio MCQ from the yellow book :P

After that went for physics.. haha need to study physics.. long time never touch already..
basically a normal school day except that it was all lectures..
and if u still are reading and think it's still lecture after maths.... u are right in being wrong in thinking that i still got lecture..

haha basically went to check my prelims result and guess wad.. i got BCCD.. haha.. well that feeling of euphoria didn't last long.. God taught me a lesson that is pride comes before a fall.. and what a fall that was.. i twisted my ankle real bad.. still smarting..

haha continued studying and then came home where i came to tell u that PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL.. so dun be proud..

Amazing Day Sia

2006-09-23T00:26:00.000+08:00

Today was really cool sia

Went out with my gf today, she went to look at figurines and stuff.. was quite cool with her.. haha.. she was really mad at the person manning the counter for the figurine.. why?? not becos he was rude or anything but he wasn't there :P was quite a cool sight..

haha then later in the afternoon went back to college to attend the first session of a christian prayer meeting for the school.. kinda wonderful to see christians actually coming together to worship God in school.. haha.. Basically there was Mr Lim(PE teacher) who had this idea of students coming together and praying for the students, teachers and the management.. then the other ppl who were there came from council, Li Shan, Joy and Shi Ping.. haha Amos supposed to be there but he got held up..

Then I went to CSC for the weekly prayer meeting.. today was kinda cool.. Charles (My boss at YISS), was sharing more about why must study.. He shared more from Ecc Chap 2 about the achievement that we made was meaningless.. then he shared Jer 29.11 where it says that God has plans to prosper each and everyone cos He already have the way planned out for me.. haha... got me thinking that He put me in SRJC for a reason.. haha.. if not there, how to get to CSC easily and how i meet my current stead :P

anyway ECCLESIATES have a cool quote.. Chapter 12:12.. It states that there is no end to books and too much study will wear u out.. haha.. spoke to Charles about it.. he says moderation.. haha so yar.. have fun studying all u muggers out there.. and if u are reading my blog and u are in JC, shouldn't u be studying for A levels???

Maths and music????

2006-09-14T22:48:00.000+08:00

today went school early to study maths.. haiz i hate stats.. but i going to need it if i want to take up psychology.. haha first time i studied hypothesis testing only for it to come out and i dunno how to do..
sianx.. the pure maths section was managable but it's freezing in the hall..

haha anyway.. i found out something damn cool today
all the songs i love like nothing's gonna stop us now has a movie behind it.. saw it on youtube.com
can't help loving this old stuff.. cos it's pretty cool listening to them and watching the movie at hte same time.. imagine falling in love with love again super cool

World in words??

2006-09-12T21:09:00.000+08:00

haha.. today had my physics paper 3.. was manageable provided one study.. which i didn't.. had a irritating nightmare in the middle of the night.. plus some sneaky idiot below trying to play about with my faith.. haha.. irritating idiot.. well.. he has so much free time unlike me.. haha have to mug for prelims..
tomorrow having chemistry.. tough paper again.. wish i can freeze time.. i dun regret wasting time.. no room for regrets but a lot of room for improvement.. haha
looking for study partner.. keep switching between a couple of my friends...

haha.. wish i can go full time to genesis my youth group.. haha.. i'm started my planning but i need simon with me on this.. i cannot do this on my own.. i really wish that God send someone beside SImon to assist cos i going to NS next year too.. haha.. plus the fact what i'll be doing is going to be of utmost importance to gen.. haha.. glad to have kenji's support with me cos it's really tough on me..

if u are still reading on to this line, u must be damn free.. that's not the point.. haha.. thanks for reading this but i think u either have no life reading my blog, seriously interested in my life or just concerned about me.. if it's not one of the above.. u are a sneaky little idiot.. but if it is one of the above.. i thank u from the deepest depth of my heart(if u prove i have one) that u are a good friend.. think i'm crapping plus the fact got chemistry exam.. signing off with a mega WOW!!!
remember... it's not the crap that crap u but u crapping the crap

Monday Blues

2006-09-11T22:44:00.000+08:00

haiz.. today have so much to revise.. had maths in the morning and bio in the afternoon.. i swear the prelims are killing me sia.. so much to revise.. nothing much except mug lor.. haha.. msn messenger seems to be down.. so bored sia.. haha.. anyway..

Interesting Saturday

2006-09-09T23:47:00.000+08:00

haha today was an eventful day..
Went to church today to study with jon bao and we were talking about exorcism and stuff like that.. he was pretty interested into it but i told him to pray before he reads.. haha he's pretty cool about it..

I really learned alot more about the spiritual warfare and things that are going on in the spiritual realm.. basically Satan dun want people to know that he(the sneaky one) exist.. so how do u fight against something that u think does not exist.. haha.. basically even if u acknowledge his existance what can u do?? simple.. put on the armour of God and protect yourself from the evil one and keep yourself with God.. haha for u non-christian out there.. just think about doing more good deeds.. i think that it's more important doing works of mercy (good deeds) than going evil.. even things like participating in tarots and ouija boards are dangerous.. dun ever try it..
Also.. even if one doesn't want to be part of spiritual warfare, it doesn't work that way.. the mentality "if i dun disturb him, he won't disturb me" is not really true.. as long as u are not on his side, u are against him.. so the sneaky one will do everything to make u his.. that's why we must always be on guard against him.. haha.. but i believe that God is stronger than all that the sneaky one down below can do to us.. cos He loved us so much that He send His only Son, Jesus to die for our sins.. but we need to remember that.. the sneaky one will keep reminding us about our unworthiness but it's in our unworthiness that God make us worthy.. St Paul write : it is in my weakness that my God make His boast..

today sermon in church is super good.. i love this quote "even the foolishness of God is wiser than all of Man's wisdom" this show how little we know about God.. and i like 1 Corinthians chapter 13 cos it's all about love.. got this little leaflet about it when i went for the sacrament of reconciliation.. cool right..

haha.. anyway.. at night was fun.. hang out with remus and marcus and gabriel.. missed them.. the old guard of genesis.. haha.. missed the good old days but one cannot live in the past forever.. he has to move on.. haha..

i think it's wonderful to have friends dun u..

PS: for u ppl more interested in the Armour of God, http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/renewaluk/gn0509/g05.htm

first entry

2006-09-07T13:58:00.000+08:00

haha.. my first entry to my newest blog.. dunno what the blog is for anyway.. i think it's a crime to read other people blog but i dun think it's a crime to read ur own blog.. well it's better than having a diary.. cos i always misplaced my diary last time

Well for all u snoopy little critters reading this line, well.. i gotta say u have no life but ya.. dun u have something better to do???

haha.. it's been a tough week for me this week... prelims coming up next week and i dunno whether can pass.. well since the Big Boss up there wants me in a JC, He'll definitely bring me thru it.. i hope.. well let's not doubt the Big Boss cos He got a masterplan.. Revision is slow but it's better than nothing.. haha.. with all the past year paper to do no wonder ppl getting more stressed

Anyway.. my Youth Group Genesis is cool, with Kenji making his move to start everything going.. haha.. i've absolutely have no doubt in Kenji's abilities as the Genesis Head but he really needs a kick to get him start.. haha let's say Newton's first Law : A body(Kenji) at rest will remain at rest until an external force acts on him.. since i'm no longer in genesis, i'm really counting on Josh and Mark to kick him (literally if need be)

Plus the fact that people keep asking me abt my girlfriend is starting to piss me off.. cos she and i are still together.. why u ppl keep asking.. want me to break up issit.. haha go dream about some chicken tonic soup.. it's better for u.. haha if u are still wondering we're still going fine.. haha so stop giving me a miserable time by repeating the questions over and over again..

MAR series is finally completed so i'm done with one collection, black cat has missing books and bleach has too many (23, it's going to be along long time) plus the fact that i am currently low on cash.. not as liquid as i want to be.. my pocketbook is super thin

Anyway.. got new bio and chemistry tuition.. think my father wanna stressed me to death.. haha but the tutors are cool and that i'm really a happy-go-lucky guy(those who disagree with me, well i dunno what to say).. hhaha
think i better start to go mug.. dun wanna let any teachers down
