It's finally over! CAs are over. but i'm not rejoicing. am disappointed with myself actually. what happened to me? why have i allowed myself to be in this state. where is the RAFFLESIAN SPIRIT of excellence? going to an exam only knowing the tip of the iceberg of syllabus is not what makes a doctor. you'll kill patients in the future, if you can even get that far! pull up those socks of yours. Lord please let me pick up myself and catch up with my batch mates!

FLABBERGASTED
shock of my life when i saw 8.57am on my watch. rubbed my eyes... thought i was in a dream. but NO! but wait... physio starts at 10 right? then again... it's at 9am! PHYSIO PAPER STARTS AT 9!
no time! jumped out of bed. grabbed my bag, bottle, matric card, cap and jacket and rushed to the bus stop!
Good thing bus frequency is high... how i appreciate living at PGP now... so ran all the way to COFM and planted my ass on the seat at 9.10am. my brain felt numb during the entire exam. must be the shock i received the moment i woke up.
MORAL of the story: when 2 alarms don't work, set 3.

1 down. 2 more to go. managed to pass biochem by guessing and eliminating chim looking answers. well actually i think most people passed. ya n in medicine, getting a pass is no big deal when everyone's so smart. it's crazy to know the bell shaped curve for grades is shifted so right that it can't be considered bell shaped anymore. sigh... so must work harder for pros, esp when it's essay, so no more guessing!
physio is one big headache. it's really fun to learn and understand and discuss. but when so many concepts and pathways are stored in the tiny brain of mine, they somehow get amalgated. well at least it's fun! i think it's the most fun subject. doing well is another matter. so whether it's Na-K ATPase or Na- H antiport protein. i'll just leave it to God.
Received a quote from dee.
Psalms 18:2- The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
So find solace in God! Thanks denise!
dee dee(the one who posted the tag)> hahaha... case of mistaken identity! dee dee was meant to be denise. so i've 2 dee dees now? i think u just be hot spots la k? hahaha...
toe> so confident of physio eh? spent the whole afternoon online. hahaha... get back to work han sis!~
hb> just go view my source then put in your template. the song must be uploaded online first though. i use geocities to upload mine. sigh... can't listen to the song now. bandwidth taken up....

Difficult Fasting
2 days ago, wanted to discipline myself by fasting and praying but it was no easy experience. once every so often, liana and jirong will say that they are fasting. Now i truly know how difficult it is. I realised that usually in between meals, i would have snacks or pop candies into my mouth to tide me through. So during the fasting period, I kept thinking about food! My mouth was itching for something to put into it. Had to suppress it a little by drinking lots of water. Cephalic phase of GIT kept kicking in and gastric juices churned and swished in my empty stomach. I couldn't concentrate on studying at all! Wow.. if after missing 1 meal, i can feel like this, what about those who have no food elsewhere? So thank God for the bountiful food i have to make me this big. Should try it again with more prayer, to remind me how fortunate i am!
SEL= salt in french
Irritating salty qy really pissed me off! Had my dinner at coffee grounds and he added salt to my funghi soup w/o my knowledge! Drank it happily while i was engrossed in conversation. Only when i've nearly finished it then did he break the news. Grrr.. so post- prandially, my thirst centre was stimulated and i had to keep drinking water! my lips cracked and after the huge intake of water, i had to piss so much. Dunno how i managed to drink the salty liquid! Watch out QY! u and me will become enemies!!! hahaha... only after i pass my driving will i be nice to you the bad role model!
CA!
1 more day to CA. chiong sexual reproduction now! argh!!!!!

received news that i have a choice of doing a month of attachment instead of two. so i can have company when i go to europe now! however, more choices have opened and i'm put into another quandary. bridgette is inviting me to go to indonesia for tsunami restoration. i'm very tempted to go and that would put me back by 800 bucks. if i go ahead with the europe trip with friends, another 3000 would be gone. diving trip with windsurfing gang 500 bucks. so more spending of money when i'm earning a month less of pay. how how?

Shall try fasting tomorrow. Have never tried it before. I've eaten so much all my life that when i've stopped exercising, my belly is growing. not bad a belly actually... with long strands of hair to attempt to cover an otherwise naked surface. remember those days when i used to squeeze tummy into folds and see how many beef patties i could get in my hamburger belly. now he's back and piling on the patties, think the record now is four. patty no. 5 on the way. it doesn't help that the dean's office is having a buffet spread these 3 days and all of us can help ourselves to leftovers. they have not 1 meal but four meals a day!!! not sure if there was breakfast, but there was brunch, lunch, tea break and dinner! which is why i should fast tmr. it'll be hard on my first try... but it'll be good to train my discipline. fast and pray to make me a whole man. fast and pray to hold my belly growth.

FAILED.
jittery. nervous. unsettled. my nerves just got the better of me.
my lesson just before the test went smoothly. yet i mounted kerb, almost killed a motorcylist from oncoming traffic, slid down the slope a little, supposedly didn't look at my rear windscreen when parking (which i did) and dragged the gears too long, too slow in changing during the test. ass! when i mounted kerb in the circuit, it was OVER! what use was there to continue driving? so with nothing to lose, i was more relaxed and drove with little mistakes. But what use was there??? i've failed! Immediate failure! but huo bu dan xing. so i had to have 2 immediate failures!
it seems so normal for people to say, it's just a driving test. so many people have failed it. so why get so upset over it? ya sure... but it's just that i've never failed in any major exam or test in my life! small tests sure... but not any important ones. it's just so upsetting! it's not that i dunno how to drive. it's not that i've not prepared for it. in fact, so much money and time has been put into it. yet unsettled nerves just destroyed everything. pissed off and disappointed!
so sad me decided to go to west mall to find some solace and happiness. tried food therapy. ate ice cream. and other junk. didn't care about the money. now i know why depressed people sometimes stuff themselves with food. chocolate releases endorphins which make u a lil happy. warm food gives you the physical warmth when there is no human warmth (hug) needed to feel better. the food helped temporarily and my stomach was stuffed. couldn't find anyone to talk to. so decided to watch movie by myself. only one of 2 times that i've done so. CLOSER. thought it was a comedy. but no, it was some complicated screwed up love relationship among 4 individuals. so troubling. well at least there were good looking people in jude law and nathalie portman. portman is really hot! but quite indecent in the show cos she was a stripper. ya anyway although it was a disturbing show, i felt somewhat better. i now know i'm not the only one who watches movie by myself. there were a few other loners too! hahaha...
after that, went to chinatown to relive some nice memories. stuffed myself with food at food street. food therapy! stumbled into a cool looking shophouse bar called backstage bar which turned out to be the only gay bar in the area. the owner even asked if i was gay! shit man.... now i know a rainbow coloured flag is the symbol for gay. then went to the cheap cd shops at chinatown. bought stef sun and david tao cds for 12 bucks only! retail therapy! next went to the austrian sausage shop to get cheese knaukers from the cool angmoh owner who speaks singlish. exchanged banter with him enough to make me smile.
ended the depressing day with a kind heart. saw a lady having difficulty carrying a haversack and a baggage at buona vista. people with such baggages tend to be foreigners who stay on nus campus, so i offered to carry the baggage. turned out to be really heavy!!! she's a 3rd year arts student who just came back from an education conference in UAE and she had her diving gear which explained the damn heavy bag! been to an overseas conference myself so can relate to her exciting and fun experience. i don't mind going for another of such conferences, meeting international youths and exchanging views and having fun! and from how she described UAE, i don't mind considering it a holiday destination.
wow... what a day. feel much better now. after tonight, sleep therapy will round up and should cure me of my disappointment.

just came back from ucc ushering. not bad a play by temasek hall. funny and intriguing. can't believe the 2 better hall plays i've watched are free while the only other paid one was a disaster. well... benefits of ushering at ucc. besides watching the play, i got to know a few of my fellow ushers better. real jokers! oh and one of them, an rj senior doing lit reminds me of jiayan! hahaha... it's because of them that my yet another unproductive day didn't end on a sad note.
actually, my wasting of time is pissing me off real bad. i'm either sleeping or wasting time doing stupid stuff which can be done some other time. maybe it includes blogging too. sigh... but my day didn't start on a bad note. in fact, it started wonderfully and i thought it'd be a great day. i was wrong.
thanks to cow's mum for getting me a english-chinese bible. was chatting to cow's dad when i received the gift. i was pleasantly surprised! your folks are really nice chaps afterall. suddenly i feel so loved in church. ok i shld consider treating cow a lil nicer since your folks are so nice. hahaha...

went for my 2nd mandarin youth fellowship. thank god for allowing me find a friend in the same church as i am. before that i was lonely and knew nobody, ok i knew my team mate but not very close to him so not much difference. ya the only prob is... cow is in mandarin service n i seldom speak and listen to mandarin. anyway.. i found that mandarin service is actually easier to understand cos the message conveyed is put in simpler n more layman terms. at the english service, most of the time i was trying hard to decipher the bombastic vocab and complicated sentence structures that i lost the gist of the msg.
ya anyway... today's topic was bgr. quite an apt topic for people our age. it's the age when either u're in it and have some problems or when u don't have it and it's a problem. the speaker was very cute and animated esp when he gave examples and analogies. he gave his views on which age is best to have a relationship, why to have one, who shld have one and how to get one. most of his views are quite conservative which is not a bad thing in this too liberal society of ours where sex seems to be everywhere.
things i learnt:
only ppl who has strong spiritual foundation shld have a relaionship. that's when you're mature enough.
only find a like minded christian as your partner.
don't date too long lest physical temptations creep on you before marriage.
a few analogies which i like.
how after marriage, the simplest thing can cause heated arguments. for example, the husband likes to squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom while the wife likes to squeeze it from the top. so it needs understanding and hu xiang li rang to maintain a relationship.
why should your partner be a like minded christian? so that your core values of your lives are the same and it'll be easier to walk together in life. also if your partner is a non believer, he's like a person sitting down and you standing up. is it easier for the person to pull you down or you pull him up?
i guess i'm still weak spiritually. i need to pursue more enthusiastically. i've not read the entire bible before so i need to start to be more consistent. i need to pray everyday. hopefully, as i do i'll be mature enough to have a relationship.
pray hard cow... i'll pray for you too.

i finally succeeded as an alarm clock! i just couldn't fail on the 3rd time.
having pbls at alexandra hospital is pissing my group off. first of all, me, the grp leader has to liase with the AH secretary so as schedule new timings cos the doctors are not free and keep changing the time. having gone so much trouble in doing so, my grp members happily decide not to attend cos they think it's at a timing too inconvenient for them. how selfish of them esp one person! and today, they decide to do a mass ponning cos there wasn't lecture today and all the more reason to stay home. can't believe this! out of 12, only 7 turned up! and to reiterate the saying hao ren mei hao bao, the doctor goes on leave and we made a wasted trip to AH! it's perfectly fine for the doctor to go leave, but confirming with us and making us go down there and saying that he's not around is absolutely absurd! sabrinah, the secretary, is so inefficient! how could she not have known this?!!! instead of apologising to us or even feel a tinge of guilt, she goes ahead and scolds us (the guai ones who bother to go down) for the poor attendance. she even gives her own views on how medical students shld do consistent work and not wait til last min to mug for exams, so no excuse for not having pbl near the ca!. what a prick! as huren said, she's sabrinah the elderly witch! now, i have to schedule a new time for the next pbl session. if the other grps can condense 2 pbl sessions into 1, i don't see how we can't do the same. the AH STAFF are so inflexible and inconsiderate, unlike NUS staff. argh!!!!
can't wait for tmr!

troubling troubling troubling troubling.
slept at 3plus 4 but dont really feel that sleepy today.
felt really embarassed that i dunno my work in tut. external carotid supplies to the brain was what i said. can't believe i even said that. sigh... it calls for mugging! time to reduce whatever damage i can. 2 n a half weeks to ca and i haven't started studying. oh man... must turn on mugger mode.
things couldn't get any better. while i was still feeling terribly troubled, i had to bump my head on the roof as i alighted the bus. *plonk* i was so embarassed i just walked on pretending nothing happened.
then i did a few more daredevil stunts while driving again. still stalled the car a few times. swerved away from pedestrian and crazy vehicle. mounted kerb. knocking down pole while vertical parking. i would have failed a few times over. sigh...
so moody me always tries to put up a happy face. the best way to be happy is to help others be happy. smiling surely brightens up your friends' day.
things are getting better i think. thank you Lord. now i don't hide what i feel, i'll just say it. and hopefully through your graciousness, the problem will be solved in no time!
off to the study room!

had a really fun v-day!!!
was restless the entire day during lessons in school. supposed to study in library then go for the swinging singles' party at jianhong's house.
ended up going to orchard with ah ngoh. the fun started when we got a lift from violet. thanks violet! her aunty's van is really cool! jasper n i sat at the back where there were so many cushions and soft toys enough to make the back of the van so comfortable. i wouldn't mind getting such a comfortable van in place of any high class automobile. the only prob was i got a little woozy and motion sick from all the turning and bumping as violet got lost getting to orchard! someone get her a gprs for her birthday!
anyway, great retail therapy for lonely boys without dates on v-day! was supposed to just accompany him to shop for shoes, but we ended up buying 3 shirts each! went to john little to find the pink valentino shirt yau hong was wearing today. saw that the shirts were so cheap that we spent hours trying on every shirt we saw. in the end, i settled on a green valentino and green stripey shirt while jas chose a blue valentino and a green tee. hahaha.. then we went on lamenting about us not having dates and that love was all around us. couples, roses and hearts were the theme for the day. they were infesting orchard!!! someone shld ban all of them from orchard.
being sour grapes and envious, we had to resort to flirting with 2 girls at heeren and got our complimentary heart-shaped red n pink balloons. who says 2 guys couldn't walk around with pink n red heart balloons hovering over our heads? hahaha... think everyone thought we were gay! then it was at heeren where we continued our shopping. bodyknits was on sale! n everything was pasar malam cheap. 50 n 70 % off selected items. so a t-shirt cost like less than 15 bucks. where could u find such prices? so we entered the fitting room 5 times, trying on almost every nice shirt! s, m, l, xl. red, blue, brown, black. we tried everything! the poor salesgirl must be wondering why she had to fold endless number of shirts on v-day. hahaha...
after that, rushed down to the airport to send gen off to her vet studies in australia. gave her a red heart balloon, took photos and charmed lil eurasian kids with my heart shaped balloons. so i ended up going home with no heart balloons... sigh.. anyway, at least i made a few children happy!
the highlight for the day was celebrating toh han's birthday in conjunction with the singles' party. taped her mouth up with duct tape to enjoy a wonderful period of silence, then blindfolded her as we led her to her birthday surprise. happy birthday toh han! n splash, she fell into the swimming pool. we couldn't let her off so easily right? so han boon smashed cake into her face! hahaha... well the suffering was all for a good cause as she was touched by the dkny watch that we got her! it must have been a memorable burfday for u toe!
was restless the entire day during lessons in school. supposed to study in library then go for the swinging singles' party at jianhong's house.
ended up going to orchard with ah ngoh. the fun started when we got a lift from violet. thanks violet! her aunty's van is really cool! jasper n i sat at the back where there were so many cushions and soft toys enough to make the back of the van so comfortable. i wouldn't mind getting such a comfortable van in place of any high class automobile. the only prob was i got a little woozy and motion sick from all the turning and bumping as violet got lost getting to orchard! someone get her a gprs for her birthday!

fisherman's village
here's a nice photo of a warm cosy dinner by the sea. great ambience and sea breeze. had a good time there!
visiting day!! quite a fun day today. went to visit my granduncles, grandaunts and great grand mother! yes i still have a great grand mother, how cool is that? she's going to be 100 soon i think, lost track of her age but she's still quite healthy. sat with her while she talked to me about stuff. i'm glad i know a bit of hainanese and hokkien which helped me a great deal when my relatives speak. ya she complained about my mum not bringing her along when she went to china, complained that she's so old and there is no meaning to live and that the maid refuses to let her drink her xo to improve her blood circulation for fear that she'll get drunk. hahaha... well i actually saw her tipsy side once when she stayed at my place. poured a lil too much alcohol and she started walking sideways!!! hahaha what a sight! oh man... sorry great grand ma, quite rude to laugh at you. anyway... have a great new year! hope you'll visit my house again.
actually heard the entire story of my family's close shave in phuket today. when i first returned and my mum told me the stories, i was quite indifferent. i was more interested in telling my side of the story in cambodia and all the fun i've had. it was only today, when she raconted the entire story to my uncle and aunt that i'm truly thankful to God that they escaped from the gallows of the tidal wave.
thank Lord for letting them stay at the diver's resort at Chalong bay, south east of Phuket and away from the full force of the tsunami. thank God for letting my bros and aunt be far out at sea on their way to snorkelling, where the wave was still small and not yet devastating. thank God for allowing my cousin and uncle to hide behind a rock when they went diving under the sea, and when the current washed them to the surface, they were safe from harm. thank God for keeping my entire family from harm during their stay at Phuket. you're the best!!

Happy New Year!
had the time of my life! woke up at eleven. visited my grandma's house downstairs. received my ang pows. then stoned and slept the entire afternoon away.
i think i can relate to children cos i think like them. i love to act like them and laugh like them. their innocence and pure hearts make them so adorable. my mum just told me that i can interact quite well with children.
in retrospect, i think i do. back in cambodia, i enjoyed playing with the children. being their swing or piggy backer. i'm not inhibited by how childish i look. i just act like them, play like them and have fun like them. seeing them give truly happy smiles is what makes it so enjoyable.
today, at my dad' boss' open house dinner. with the entire place swarming with adults, whom i don't really know what to say to, i felt uneasy n self conscious. to attempt to be sociable, i decided to pick up the nearest girl i saw. a cute girl dressed in pink. hahaha.. this 5 yr old is really intelligent and is not afraid of strangers. she readily opened up after my initial introductory questions. so rachel and i started discussing about ants on the tree, beautiful flowers in the garden, her shaven golden retriever lola, her birthday and the humming bird she saw. my size didn't scare her at all. n i'm glad it didn't. thank you rachel for the company in the uncomfortable setting!
i love children!!!!

a rollercoaster ride i've taken today. the queasiness still remains.
my mind is happy that i've taken the ride but not my stomach and intestines.
i wished the 2 evils were not there, leaving only my mind n body.
to enjoy the ups and downs, without the pain and suffering.
i love to sms on my phone, to see the work of art i compose.
but when a button doesn't work, who can i approach?
to use the other buttons, a story can still be told.
but without the finishing touches, the excitement will not unfold.

new asia bar was a cool place! 70 floors above the city, you could see the skyline and have an unobstructed view of the bright lights of the city. good place to chill out or club. do check it out!
wish i had a program or website for mac users to upload photos on blogs easily. so no photos from new asia bar from me. what a waste! the pictures of 2 pretty girls can't be viewed. what a difference when girls bother to dress up. for guys, well no difference so don't bother. ppl, do spend time to take a 2nd look at pancake or indian wife!
beleaguered from all sides. crazy ppl. stoppit before the hypothalamic temperature regulatory system breaks!
i'm more than a meanie. i'm above average.

should i or should i not? if i go ahead, things may go wrong. i may be wrong. i'm not even sure. think it is better to hold back until i am.
i've changed. i've learnt to have confidence and courage. but did it come with immaturity? or is this the real me? to be stone or be fun yet immature?
procrastination is my game. slacking is a bane. 5 more weeks to ca. can i learn to balance n manage my time?
congrats to bang! one foot in already. the other foot just needs you not to screw up. of course u won't. after all the salsa training, your feet should be sure and steady. those were the days, when we were complaining. now you've left jasper, yau hong and i to whine amongst ourselves. all the best!!!! you're the man!
xingning left for melbourne today. have fun studying there! wish i could go overseas too. anyone wants to go europe with me after professional exams?

going out too much. wild wild wet, fisherman's village, ocean's twelve, cosy bay. what next? new asia bar?
went for mandarin church service.

Thank you victor for organising such a successful bbq @ ecp! i'm sure everyone had loads of fun.
it was a good crowd of about fifty people where everyone let their hair down after weeks of studying for the cas.
i think after friday's bbq, we would have known a few more people in med fac. i for one now know who is meng chon and andy and teresa marie. it's amazing how med fac is so small yet we don't even know half of m1. i hope through all these activities all of us can get to know each other better.
when i reached there i was dismayed by the turn out. i thought oh no, it would be a failure cos i only saw like 6 people max at the pits with no sign of bbq preparation. good thing it turned out that the early birds were actually cycling or rollerblading along east coast. when i came back from renting my own pair of blades, the food were already sizzling on the pit and people were chit chatting and helping themselves to the food.
it's comforting to know that there is the fun side of medicine besides academic pursuits. exchanging of lame comments, laughing at the burnt food the chefs bbqed (i think cooking should be left to the celebrity chefs - mark and dehan), spilling of drinks on bags and banging people into lamp posts with legs spread open were a few highlights. of course there were the lovey dovey couples who fed each other food, whoa how sweet of them! i think medicine should form more couples now that we have our 2nd couple from medicine. it'd be good for our declining birthrate in s'pore.
ok that summarises the bbq @ ecp. do check out the photos taken. bbq
the next outing is on mon 6th dec @ sentosa. think there will be lots of m1 and m2s going. so see you there!

Post CA1
Yay! it's finally over. 2 weeks of studying in the library and it's over! The exams didn't go too well but i'm just glad it's over. So now it's playing for a while and preparing for cambodia! Haven't had so much fun in a long time.
Right after exams, off we went to karaoke at partyworld. As sleazy a place as it can get, just reminds me of the malaysian hotel where we stayed during rugby tour where there were prostitutes and 'transies' hanging around in the dimly lit corners of the lobby. but it's the crowd that that we hang out with that counts right? getting all excited and crazy during the choruses with daniel was really fun. i think the best song rendition by us was the 'wayne yap, never give up!' song. it's so catchy and fun to see whiny wayne so pissed off. haha...
then it was the incredibles time! loved every moment of it! thought the pixar animators were great in giving each cartoon a unique character. ooooh... the hair looked so real too! the technology is really improving by leaps and bounds. i was really amused by all the weird objects elastigirl can transform herself into, esp when she became a boat with dash sprinting his ass off as the propeller. what a sight! i like dash's character best. loud, motor mouth, cool running style and ability to run on water made him so adorable! but i think the most shocking part was seeing the baby become evil! it's a demon baby! so young and it is able to change into a demon and a fireball? what bad influences it must have been exposed to.
anyway don't you agree the sheep in boundin' looks like middle sheep aka zhong yang?

think i'm getting my mood for studying back! Merci Dieu! although it's still quite slow. was very motivated to study, so when yahu hong suggested camping overnight at yih to study, i agreed immediately. somehow i wasn't sleepy when i was studying though there was a point when i felt really sian staring at the testis, scrotum and penis. yau hong on the other hand, kept dozing off, therefore we decided to sup at munchie monkey's.
my first time there and i'm amazed at the menu they serve. Related to the spageddies restaurant, it serves pasta, pizza, alochol and even escargot!!! i must try the escargot someday. ya so yau hong had to vienna's hotdog, while i was contented with my tuna and cheese foccacia. i would have very much preferred it to be mushroom and cheese foccacia, but tuna did just fine. the indian guy who served us looked really scary as he was quite big, had a beard(or moustache can't remember) and golden earrings. his voice was low and rough too, giving the impression of a gangster. in the end, he turned out to be quite friendly. when yau hong and i were brushing our teeth in the morning, he actually chatted with us. so one cannot judge someone too quickly!
we decided to take a hour nap and se lever at 4.15. but you know once we planted our heads on the sofa, it was over... the alarm couldn't wake us up. so we ended waking up 4 hours later and it was time to leave for lecture. what a night of studying!
word of advice: if you want to study at yih, make sure you bring more than a jacket. you need 2!!! wear pants if you can too cos they are out to freeZe you while you are mugging.

went to church today after absenting myself for months. it always feels good to be in the church. you'll feel calm, relaxed and your thoughts become clearer. however, i couldn't keep awake during the entire duration of the sermon. feel quite bad after. as usual, i don't know anybody in the church. so when my uncle talks to his many friends, i'd just stand in one corner or just let myself wander to look at the notice boards. danny's the only person i know there but he has his own group of youth fellowship friends so i'm often by myself. i'm thinking of finding another church. maybe i'll pop by to daniel's church soon since it's similar to my present conservative, fundamental one.
these days i'll reverting back to my introverted self. rugby changed me in the sense that i became louder and a little more 'wild'. now i'm inclined to just sit down at a table and not talk to my friends. i'll keep really quiet and just listen their crapping and jokes. of course i'll laugh along and comment here and there but i don't engage myself wholeheartedly in the conversation. another phase of life?
totally didn't do any work this weekend as usual. planned to finish tutorial and pbl but ended up sleeping the entire afternoon. very shiok! think i better get down to some work before je dors.
i think the best thing that happened today was the lunch treat from my brother. we lunched at an indonesian restaurant at bukit timah plaza which had a la carte buffet. the rendang, chilli sotong and fried ginger chicken were delicious! i think the best was the crispy golden chicken. it was so good that we ordered 3 baskets of it! i couldn't get enough of it. oh no i should have taken a photo of it!
my life needs some rejuvenation.
enculer! i just scratched my camera. there's a deep scratch on the front now. Salaud! L'oignon!

feeling damn tired after a slack session of soccer. my fitness doesn't even deserve to be called fitness. now i don't even feel like lifting my butt off the chair to go shower. my head feels tight, like someone is using a plastic bag trying to suffocate my brain. think a nice sleep will would cure this. but i can't. i know i must study but i just don't feel like it. i don't have any goals in life. i don't even see myself completing med school. did i make the right choice? even if i was wrong, i have no choice. unless i want to go db and carry sandbags.
i'm always procrastinating. i'm always complaining. whining seems like my past time. even i get tired of listening to my own complaints. give me or teach me how to find the solutions and i'll gladly stop! primary school was fine. secondary school was manageable. jc was problem ridden but i managed to squeeze through the narrow pores. will i be filtered at this stage? used to set goals like i want to get into ri, i want to get into rjc. in jc, it was kinda difficult to set a fixed goal as there are so many places to choose from. now it's even worse. where do i wanna go?
some people are blessed with beautiful brains. some beautiful faces. beautiful lives too.
my brain is ageing as fast as my face. my body is shifting to a lower gear too. how do i stop this ageing process? anti-oxidants?
now data takes 5 times as long to enter my hard disk. i may understand at the moment. but i'll forget soon after. my short term memory is failing too. i didn't use to forget friend's names. it's not long time friends whom i don't remember, it's the names of my recent friends that i sometimes can't even remember.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFCCCCCCCCCCCCCUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
sorry qingyuan. shall rectify it soon. took so long to upload the pictures yet it doesn't work. maybe i'll just boycott shutterfly and use yahoo photos instead. oh does anyone know how to decrease the megapixels of the pictures so that the file size aren't too big?

anyone has the entire season of the o.c. 1? to download it from bit torrent, it takes 1265 days. by the time that is finished ryan would have married marissa. and my hair would hopefully be a beautiful mess like sandy's.

once again... it's been a long time. blogging is so not part of my life anymore. but suddenly thought of it, so i shall post an entry. too much has happened to put down in words. don't have the energy to do so anyway. now in med sch and it's not easy. have always been doing last min work all my life and now found out that i'll be murdered by this old habit of mine. too much new info everyday and leaving everything to a later date has caused a long train of confusion and doubts. brain is working too slowly; can't ingest and digest quick enough. priorities are misplaced. wrong state of mind. play. a little is good. but very addictive like drugs. quitting causes withdrawal symptoms. distractions are everywhere. difficult to focus. being a stone is not a solution. it will still get attacked by agents like wind and rain and sun and chemicals. hurdles. more like mountains. unable to climb without training. crawling gets you nowhere. lethargy. inertia. sloth. excuses! training can't commence. breathlessness and fatigue overcoming. the peak is so far. the final test. dig deep! determination. perseverance. dilligence. consistency. balance. agility. not mere words. put them into action. show everyone. the shark is far but its speed is fast. imminent danger lurking. maintain safety distance rather than fight straight on. swim hard. swim fast. hurry before the train leaves! leave. leave. leave.

it's been more than a month since the last post! kinda lost the passion to do up my blog. getting tired of the design but too lazy to renovate the blog. now most of my thoughts are faithfully written in my ocs journal. part of the motivation to cont. writing in this journal must be the blown up picture of liv tyler which i've pasted on the front cover.
much has happened since section field camp. will not be able to raconte all of it. so i'll just update what has happened recently. got into med at nus. received my lsa (med) too. so together with my other successful friends, dick and han boon, i'll be reporting to nee soon camp tommorow where hq medical corp is located. sadly left my platoon mates at foxtrot wing. it was a very enriching experience which started off as i led the platoon as cpc. much has happened and we've survived the tough times. things are going to be tougher but i'm sure all of us will be able to survive. we have matured and soon, we'll become leaders in our own field. now that i won't be going through army life with you hope that we'll still meet up some day and you can update me with some happenings in foxtrot wing.
i've met really wonderful new friends at foxtrot wing, people like kent, johnson, zhenxian, daniel seng, jun bin, zhifa, samson and my buddy for 2 terms, galvin phua! these people are really fun to be with and they add to the vibrancy of the wing. of course there are those dislikable and 'wayang' ones whom i will not mention. hope you guys will contribute to better the wing and not to its downfall.
the last week i spent at foxtrot was one of the best. had lots of fun playing frisbee and helping out in tug-of-war. hope you guys do well at the ocs carnival! passed all my tests and survived the boring lectures. and it all culminated to the finale, school happy hour! free flow of beer, kahlua, whiskey and coke. partying, dancing, laughing our heads off during the games and when zhenxian was drunk. oh man... what an experience! it was my second time that i got so high in my life. i was high but responsible enough to control my drinking. i think the highlight for me would be my participation in the games.
my platoon mates forced me to take part since it was my last week and i, already high at that time, sportingly took part. in retrospect, if i wasn't high i doubt i would have participated. the participants all stood at front, with some anxiety in us, as we didn't know what to expect. "the participants are to blow a balloon and the one who blows the biggest one wins. however, it isn't any ordinary balloon.. they are to use condoms!" with that, a roar erupted in the crowd. i was stunned! i've never done this in my life! as the others blew with such enthusiasm and vigour, i blew it cautiously and hestitantly. the air kept escaping and the lubricant was disgusting on the lips. my condom inflated and deflated, just as unsure as i was. a few pops of the condoms confirmed the disqualification of a few of the participants. when the final countdown began, i concentrated and tried to blow with all my might.... and i emerged as 1 of the 2 winners. haha... i can inflate a big condom! i can say with pride that i'm a 'condom blower champion'! haha.. with that victory also came a borders voucher card. and so ended a fabulous week.
not sure what's in stored for us tomorrow. hope it'll be fun!

came back from section field camp yesterday and it totally sucks! it was the most xiong field camp i've had. the section training was ok, quite fun doing fire movement and quick attack. but it was the ex. greensleeves which totally killed us. it is a controlled navigation exercise( followed by an instructor) and we were supposed to find 4 day check pts and 3 night ones. the freaking SAW was pissing me off because it was too long, trapping me together with the long roots of trees. the signal set is freaking heavy and causes us to get stuck in overhanging branches. and it didn't help that we have an instructor whom my entire section dislikes. ok shall not elaborate on him. *unsafe* the freaking tekong forest has so many hidden ant nests which can be activated anytime we are not careful, causing 'ant rain' to pour on us. the spiders are everywhere and the weather is so hot! had to tahan my heat rash for 3 freaking days! the feeling totally sucks. imagine the tingling feeling between pain and itch. imagine a million ants crawling on your back just beneath your skin such that you can do anything to them. imagine pins and needles prickling you. imagine red bumps on your body so dense, you thought you were born with red toad skin. even now i'm trying my best to resist the itch so badly. good thing it's getting better.
not all was bad about field camp. my section is bonding pretty well, esp. after ex. tenderfoot( uncontrolled navigation exercise). we had lots of fun 'going to holland' (hor lan), bitching about people, scolding the navigator when we seem to be lost and laughing our heads off about stuff which happened along the way. in the end, we found all our checkpts and were the 3rd section to return back to harbouring base. most impt thing is we could have fun and yet still complete our mission unlike in the other ex. when we were kept in a stranglehold and still could not finish the chkpts.
i am not looking forward to the other field camps.

had a really memorable time the past week. i planned it so well that at the end of this block leave, i can sit down and say 'wow, what a great week!'
lost my touch on writing and describing in an interesting way. so i shouldn't start recounting my week lest i make it sound mundane. anyway, argentina shouldn't have lost to s.africa! the pumas just make the game so exciting, with so many last minute tackles and superb flair. they never give up! yes it has been an enjoyable s'pore sevens. can't wait for next year's to come. hopefully more ruggers will go! my dear j3s, forget about the ticket price and let us party at sevens next year!
going to bed now. all the best to all cadet trainees! may we survive the 10 months of shit and hell and emerge as respected officers.

yesterday was a disappointment! the sun was blazing down on our backs and i thought 'oh man, someone's going to faint in this heat during pop.' it was so hot that cat 2 came on and we could not go onto the parade square for our last rehearsal. finally after all the sharply executed 'henta-kakis', we moved to our form up point(FUP) all ready to march in proudly. exactly at that moment, dark billowing clouds galloped across to our location. lightning flashed like a magnificent fireworks display. it seemed like perfectly normal convectional rain, which usually is just a quick downpour. i assumed we only need wait for a while, after that we can surely resume the parade. however, after only 15 min of waiting, our csm told us to remove our rifle buckles and pile up the rifles. what the hell! after all the rehearsals, the parade will not go on? i was sorely disappointed. kianleong was too. how often do we get the chance to march in the company, giving commands proudly and confidently? we rehearsed so hard, getting f so many times by ssm, going for extra henta kaki drills because we can't mark time together and in the end, we didn't have the chance to throw our jockey caps. what a sad ending for our pop. the only good thing about being a prize winner is that we get to the front of the queue to take the fast craft. i heard that my buddy only left at 2100.
24km route march was surprisingly easy. i took all necessary precautions, having learnt my lesson after the 16km one. i wore tights, a clean set of long 4, flannalite as my belt (the buckle caused some abrasion) and taped my nipples. the result: i came out of the march unscathed, with absolutely no injuries! i dunno whether it's because our field pack were dummies, stuffed with only air filled ziplock bags, but i felt that it was really easy despite the longer distance. there was sufficient rest, there was food and i wasn't tired.
to the guys who have been saying that my ocs spot has been confirmed. that's totally not true. during the pc interview, my pc told the platoon best and i that we can keep our hopes alive but not too high. so that when we fall it won't be so painful. he said the past 3 company bests, 1 went to sispec, 1 as driver and 1 as storeman and he doesn't know why. anyway although i hate tekong which is so far away from my house, i don't mind sispec. so whether ocs, sispec or even mp. i'll just accept it.
enjoy this block leave all new privates!

things can only get better. somehow by fluke i've become company best! i, rec hong dehan, at one stage was on the verge of downgrading and heading towards the status of ooc, have become company best? that's sure a miracle. thank god for his blessings! truthfully, i don't see myself as best in the company. there are definitely much better candidates out there, i just see myself as having more luck.
there's a disappointment though. i failed my soc. going for the retest next tues. guess my upper body is too weak. i can do all the legs stuff, but swinging trainer is posing a big problem. i'm always trying many times until my skin peels. now i can only wait for my blisters to heal and try to learn all the different techniques people use. i must pass with flying colours! the rafflesian spirit will live on.
now's our last book out! next fri is pop! how time flies... we've almost completed everything. next week's just parade rehearsals and the 24 km route march. hopefully it'd not be as tiring as the 16 click one. must remember to wear tights, tape my nipples and lubricate my ass so as to prevent abrasion. wouldn't want to be marching like i've been analed during pass out parade. haha.

i'm officially passed my bmt. attained a gold for my ippt! never have i run sub 10 in my 2.4km, not even during rugby season. so getting sub 9.45 was totally unexpected, esp since i had a lot of phlegm that day and was still on antibiotics. i've made it through the only requirement to pass bmt so the others tests i can relax and not be worried. haha.. aren't you guys jealous? my soc test is next sat, failed it once during practice but i must pass the test next week.
last night we had the time of our lives. after finishing the live range in 1 and 1/2 days, we had the entire 1/2 a day to slack around and to clean our rifles. since we had nothing on the schedule, we were allowed to play anything we want. so a few of us went to play touch and i relived the good old touch days we ruggers used to have. though most of my platoon mates who played weren't ruggers, the game was still very fast paced and i got to say it was the most tiring thing in army! hahaha. woke up this morning with aches and yet the morning after my ippt or soc i did not have any aches. weird but true. come to think of it, hawk coy is quite welfare and i love it.
this morning my pc gave us our interview in our bunk and he did it in section level instead of one to one. he said that it was too formal and people were afraid to speak so he decided to do it in section level. i think it's more likely he's slack and doesn't want to waste time doing one by one. haha. (oops, pc better not read this) then i got my 1st good news of the day. i was platoon best. i'm happy with it but not overjoyed. getting back good results later would be the most important. so wish me luck and i hope i can get my second good news of the day.

Yay! I'm finally not going to get downgraded in bmt. i can still continue my bmt unless the cardiologist at the military medical institute says otherwise. he better not downgrade me or the 600 bucks spent to see a private specialist just to confirm i'm alright will just go down the drain. there goes ocs and all the vocations i've signed up for. i think navy is fun cos there are opportunities to visit many countries. but don't think my mum wants me to cos i'll be away for long periods. intelligence officer seems interesting too but the scope of what an io does is unknown. guess it's really mystery that is attracting me. oh well i shall take a step at a time. who knows i may not qualify for any of it?
results are due in less than a week's time. i so dont want to collect it. i just know there'll be disappointment although i hope for otherwise. best wishes to all you guys out there! i know the majority of you will be having smiles from one ear to the next.

on the verge of being downgraded but i still went ahead to apply for all the vocations, air force, navy, wso, naval offcer. it's better to sign up now than regret later and realised i've not been downgraded. so fri night, booked out, and went for free dinner and wso talk. sat morn went for wso/pilot check up. was quite surprised as i had failed my pilot com test but somehow they are still doing the pilot med check on me. which meant measuring arm length, thigh length, sitting height ( think i barely made it for this, too tall can't fit in cockpit). well pilot's out for me since i failed the com test. i think among all the people who went for the med check up, i had the most remarks written in my file. broken nose, fractured collar bone, asthma, mvp( mitral valve prolapse) what else? i think at this rate, the moment they see all these remarks, they'll just strike my name off their list. sigh... everything is according to god's will. if it's meant to be it's meant to be.
after the check up, the rest of the day was bad. wanted to go wind surfing but forgot to bring sun block. went all the way to east coast and couldn't surf cos they had some ntu open. all sails gone. alighted the bus and knocked my head on the ceiling. didn't see it cos the front shade of my cap blocked my view. knocked my head once more somewhere but can't remember. all these were enough to piss me off. everyone was still in camp. so got nobody to go out with. in the end wandered in orchard alone. went on an eating spree hoping to lift my spirits but ate the worst tako balls ever! the brand called wow tako at ps. sucks totally. which made me even more pissed. takopachi is still the best! my mood improved when i found a damn cheap adidas cap at og orchard point. then met my parents to eat seafood at long beach. food was good, night life and scenery at east coast even better. cool breeze, nice weather, people roller blading, tandem cycling. if i had a gf i wouldn't mind the both of us just roller blading down east coast or just enjoying a stroll by the beach absorbing the sights and sounds and the smells of bbq smoke. of course it's all just wishful thinking for now.

not bad. another week has passed and another long weekend has arrived. i believe it is the last long weekend as there are no more public holidays from now til pop day. btw to those civilians out there, pop means pass out parade. army is really about all the acronyms. some of the acronyms are really funny. take it from my platoon sergeant, during our last parade he said our batch was his first a level batch. before us were all poly batches. but there was one batch very special. they were phd intake. then he kena shocked, first time he heard got phd intake. after that he realised, phd means poly halfway dropout. wad a cock. yes my sergeants are all very nice people. esp one of them, the most civilised sergeant i've ever seen, also my section commander, sg desmond. he said he has never even uttered a word of vulgarity to a recruit and his aim is to keep it that way. he treats all of us very well, and spends the most time with us, sharing his stories, and one of his reasons for being so nice was that he had very nice sergeants during his bmt and sispec days. and he said that if he is able to influence batch after batch to be nice, the army will become a much better place. quite noble eh?
this week was quite siong. first day was ippt cat exercise. managed to get a silver. met all the gold requirements for static stations. but to get 9.44 for 2.4km to get gold, quite impossible considering even rugby days i've managed a sub 10. did a 10.41 on mon. but think i can shave off the min to get my gold! then circuits, weights and 3 sessions of soc! 2 of them one day after another. quite tiring and many had burst blisters on their hands due to swinging trailer and low rope. well that's it for the week. oh did i say i may be downgraded? if the mo sends the letter, i'll be downgraded and become the lackey of csm. doing all the shit stuff. and then i've to go for recourse. how shit can that be. imagine doing everything again. oh field camp coming soon too. hope it doesn't pour.

book out day! shiok. the feeling is really good. as the army song goes, 'no more soc, no ippt, no more sergeant tekan me, all the doo da day'. yes army cheers and songs are playing in my head repeatedly! i'm being brainwashed! one check one check one check one. kekanan lurus! and all the malay commands. life in there is very rush and we are really the lowest life form in the bmtc. my sergeants are strict but are all jokers, like hokkien ping, wont hesitate to use vulgarities. i tell you, army has really a lot of vulgarities. even high ranking officers also teach us all the acronyms for vulgarities. shit better not say too much about such stuff, later kena charged and i'm dead. my oc will just choke slam me.
i got the cough and stuffed nose in camp, green phlegm in additon to fever, so i went on attn b status for 2 days. didnt' go for route march today. felt quite bad that my platoon mates had to go through it and i didn't. oh and white horse preferred treatment is no longer practised is bull shit. platoon 4 has white horse and their platoon is the slackest. never gets punished at all, while the rest of us always kena. the worst is p01, always kena punished. pity them. oh btw, i'm in hawk coy. but i may be downgraded. so i dunno if i'll be transferred out. but i dont want to, cos i think my company is very good. and i want to try ocs. sigh... i can only hope for the best.
ps pardon my language as it has degraded drastically.

1 more day to soldierhood. how exciting. i've not gotten everything yet, although colin, weijia and i went to beach rd to get our army stuff. the lady there was very nice and friendly and she kept mentioning her goods are cheaper. a few steps after leaving her shop we got attacked by this small malay lady. "aiyo.. why buy so many things? the army will give you credit card to buy stuff. you get cheated already. come come aunty give you my name card." it was scary that they just surprise you and try to make friends with you so that you'll buy from their store. competition is that stiff. well i dont care i think i'll just go back to the same aunty. saves all the trouble.
going to ri later to play bball. and weijia's gonna show me his cutie eurasian judo friend. he kept mentioning it so why not check it out? haha. ok must buy lots of stuff later too, i haven't packed my bag but i intend to stay out late tonight! should i or should i not shave my head first? the thought of the shaver running through so many heads gives me the chills. who knows someone might have an infectious head disease? fifa time beckons! must finish my season! cya.

now i know what it' like to get high. your mind just goes into sort of a stupor. everything you see it's like slow-mo ala matrix. a totally light feeling in your head so it seems like your head is going to fly away from your body. you wanna talk nonsense. but i dont think i spoke lots of nonsense. i was still quite sober to hide the jack daniels from yk until chieh, too busy eating his prawns, let him drink from the bottle when he was drunk! drunk to the bone, that's yk. talking about jack daniels, jd with coke is so damn good. it's the best. it's smooth and not bitter. got to be my fav booze now.
i conclude two types of feelings one can feel when one is drunk. immense ecstacy or downright shit depressed. yk on that night experienced both. when he was drunk TWICE! total madness. all the pictures taken of him were so hilarious. when it's up online, i will place a link on my blog. haha.
yesterday,when we left the place in the morning and everyone most prob went back to sleep, i went home, showered and went to church. i spent the rest of the day wandering around like a zombie because i had probably 1 maybe 2 hours of sleep in the 36 hour period. ok guess i must be prepared for this if i can actually become a doc. 36 hour shifts. bleargh.

ce matin, je lui ai envoye d'une sms poetique. mais elle a juste repondu, 'nice.' c'est tout. elle aime la couleur rose! ma mere aime aussi rose. lendemain, j'acheterai un chemisier rose pour l'anniversaire de ma mere. c'est un secret. gardez-le bien. mon francais est terrible. j'ai passe une demi-heure juste pour faire ceci. et la phrase derniere, j'ai utilise altavista translation. je suis un porc paresseux. je veux acheter un trefle de quatre feuilles pour lui parce qu'elle a les examens de conduite et sat. acheter ou pas acheter?
desole, il y a beaucoup d'erreurs.
today's surfing is summed up in one word. shiok! the last time we are going to windsurfing before enlisting. after we enlist, we'll most prob be too busy or too tired to surf even when we book out. initially, there was hardly a breeze and rain started to fall. terrible day we thought. suddenly wind blew like a gale and i sailed far out almost near the ships. the wind was so strong it was difficult to control the sail and i had to lean quite far back. backbreaking and callus-causing but worth every bit of it. all of us made it back safely to shore too. a great improvement, think we are on the way to becoming pros.
countdown to bald head, freedom lost and new wife- my rifle :
4 days!
enlistment date: 14 jan
time: 1-130 pm
friends enlisting same time, hello we may be bunkmates.

since friday, i've been going to school. (sat and sun included!) that's how much i miss school you may think. no, it's because i've nothing to do! actually, i'm just waiting for someone to ask me out for a date. hahaha. just kidding. yesterday, dick and i spent the entire day at school. spent a few hours playing bball, working out, and a large part of the day stoning.we tried to follow gek's og, together with the crashers bang and jianyang, but somehow i felt damn extra. it isn't our orientation yet we're intruding. that's how i felt. good thing serena, shiwei, isaac yee and jervis bay came much later in the afternoon, and all of us just watched the j1s playing handball. actually we were just looking out for good looking girls la. hahaha. noticed a few but it was just glimpses. dunno where they went after. oh but thought this nanyang girl looked cute and she had a nice healthy tan. know where her og is and tziyang said that she was his neighbour. lucky bastard. too bad, dont think i'll be going to school these few days, esp if i pass my audition. really hope i do! must put on a cool and funky image now.

I'm a surfer dude! wind surfing is so damn fun! but gotta say i'm the least talented among the others. was the last to be able to do self rescue and i kept falling off in the first lesson. you yi is a natural at windsurfing. he just got on it and started to surf when we were still struggling to balance. after lunch and in the 2nd lesson, all of us got the hang of it and could balance really well. the thing is we could go out but we couldn't go back. our good ole funny instructor, robert, had to use the power boat to rescue some of us back. there was one time when the wind was so strong, i surfed really fast, and i felt the sense of satisfactio welling up within me. i guess that's what's going to get me addicted. need to practise more so that i can go further out to the sea where there's stronger wind though i need to learn to come back or my poor arms will die doing the butterfly stroke. guys, next friday is a date!

great weather yesterday. the sun was hot, roasting us til we're nice and crisp and dry, but relief came intermittently, which was well appreciated. large grey clouds covered the wide expanse of the sky, released their cooling, soothing droplets of honey and drifted away, allowing us to bake to a golden perfection. at last, we can feast on the baby back ribs of kevin kong.
miss monsoon season was kind to us as she refused to empty her load yesterday, allowing us to have an enjoyable time at sentosa. on a beautiful day like this and nobody brought a camera to capture the wonderful moments! sigh. what a pity. esp when dingyi and i volunteered to do what nobody dared to. we put our bodies at risk, in the hands of amateurs, so that they can fulfill their fantasies and derive pleasure from us. what a sacrifice! dingyi, we have survived the torturous times, and i'm glad to have known you. we can proudly say we are the sand buddies. we dared to be buried alive!!!!
volleyball, frisbee, soccer, american football, swimming, ogling. we did them all. what a wonderful day. and you can take what i say as that. there are no photos of evidence to show we are guilty of the above. case closed.

wah damn sian. my life's sian. that's it. nothing much to blog these days. just been going out and working out in school. nothing interesting. but somehow i've been hanging a lot with my cousin yiling and ah kong these days. maybe cos i've been going to her house as my cousins from canada are staying there and we keep talking about kevin kong and their vj friends. got to know my first few vj friends from them too.
last night went with them to centro for the uberture.com inter-jc pageant event. got to say it was sucky! BIG TIME. made us wait for more than an hour outside then wait for another hour inside. and watching the damn sian pageant on the tv screen cos it was too freaking crowded in the relatively small place. incidentally, rj had no representative cos all of them didn't want to join, ok maybe that's why it's sian cos i've got nobody to support but that's not the only thing! most of the contestants cannot make it! either too short, or too gay, or act cool not cool. ok not like i'm the most good looking person, but the thing is, if these are the best from each jc, then it really is damn sad. i dont think that's the case. i guess the most good looking people just refuse to join.
anyway, last night stupid ah kong and my cousin kept trying to matchmake me to this girl. damn irritating. felt like killing them. ah kong, you good! all the girls you dont like and reject then pass to me is it? ass! after the event, we thought we'll have fun dancing but the music sucks! it was progressive trance and there was no variation, after a while, it began to feel damn sian. i dunno how people like such monotonous music. rnb is so much better! however, after drinking a little, and feeling a little high, we went to dance again. after all, didn't wanna waste money right? i spotted hamid and jerome and surya dancing up on the platform so i joined them and the others followed. we just danced and shouted and made a lot of noise. while dancing we could even see the beautiful view of the merlion from the window. this was just a short-lived fun. we went back to the comfy sofa, slacked a little and decided to leave, ending a crappy night. maybe it was just a lousy me on a lousy day.
ah kong! hope the sentosa outing is still on and can't wait for the boardsailing course on friday! going to sentosa for my cousin's wedding dinner now! yay!

Glitz. Lights. Glamour. What a starrry starry prom! Everyone looked fabulous! Never imagined it would turn out so well. People whom I couldn't recognise popped up everywhere. It was like, shit , you mean you were from school? i remembered watching on news which showed the tjc prom night, and i gotta say i was kinda worried when i saw how bad the people looked. Well... my worries were unfounded. The guys looked good, the girls even better! The entire night was a trigger happy affair. The hotel staff should have jolly well packed the food in tupperwares because the food did definitely go to waste. People only wanted to capture beautiful memories of their friends on camera. I mean, how often does one get to see the beautiful side of one's friends? The feast for the eyes surely did suppress the hungry stomach. Some people looked so good that i knew i just had to have a picture taken with them, albeit i don't know them. Well it was then or never, so just thicken the skin and ask!!! Fortunately, they were friendly enough not to reject my requests. Can't wait to see the photos!!!
Prom King: My dear charming friend, Tousif Kabir.
Prom Queen: My good ole' giantess, Poony aka Huiling
They definitely deserved it! Tousif had been dreaming of this day since the day he was nominated! There was never a time when we didn't talk about it. You kicked their asses big time bro! You should have seen him at work at post-prom! Charming all the girls so well, he just makes me jealous. haha. It's ok tou, i'll just pick from your scraps. haha.
Giantess, well, didn't actually talk about the possibility of being prom queen. In fact, she was so heck care that she said she was just going to wear her sec 4 prom dress. Or maybe her confidence of winning was just sky high, so she didn't have to bother about dressing up. haha. just kidding poon. There wasn't never a doubt that she wasn't going to be prom queen. So just grab your title and stop feeling embarassed about it giantess!
It isn't good to be sick on prom. I sounded so bad i thought i was a constipated kermit the frog. I could only laugh it off by saying 'what a sexy voice i have' to people i speak to. Often, I could barely hear myself. Coughing til my throat felt like popping right out. Should have just seen the doctor last week. Thought i could for once be a strong man and let my immune system fight the infection. Well, i just proved candice right, who always thinks i'm the weakest rugger ever. Saying i'm always getting injured and sick.
Someday, i'll prove her wrong!
2 years of jc is officially over. Last night was the last time i was going to see everyone together. Good friends and people whom you treasure, that's no problem, we can still meet up, though it'd not be as often as it would be like in school. The other great people whom i haven't gotten to know and the friends i'm not close to, thanks for making rjc such a vibrant and warm place. Hope to see all of you again! Maybe the councillors can hold a reunion like 10 years later! It'd be nice to meet up again. Good bye class of 2003, see you next year when the results are released.

SAT 2 today! slept at 1 last night, frantically trying to practise math and writing because i realised it's damn difficult! woke up today like i've left my brains behind. a walking zombie, that's what i was. first time taking it at st.francis methodist sch, so had to wake up real early. in the end, took a good little nap in their canteen. overall, it was ok la, but the invigilator is damn lousy, kept cheating us of our time. the ovals for shading is damn large too! waste a lot of time shading, so although when i practised at home i had enough time, today's sat was a frantic rush! screw off sat. no more exams for me in a long long time.
today was also the day of meeting people. the day started with meeting my ex pri schoolmate, craig. think my cousin was with him too, but i seldom see him so i'm not sure if it's him. the most pleasant surprise was seeing albert! my classmate who sat beside me in ri! a damn sleepy looking guy who's quite funny and loves basketball. remember he used to sleep nonstop in class, the energy must have been used to played basketball. saw him at st. francis with his gf. and i gotta say, your gf is quite cute! well done bert! haha. oh can you believe this? we still have each other's kipling monkey arms because we exchanged them in ri. it was damn amusing, 2 big guys taking out their pencil case on the bus and showing each other odd looking monkeys with arms not matching the colour of the body! oh well it was great chatting with him. bert we must go play tennis or bball sometime!others i saw were golden head jianwei, good looking you an and the bleached head ghost riding a bicycle in the rain, lennard!
and once again, went shopping with dong. ningyan and samuel kuek joined in too. went to look for earrings today. now deciding between 2. think i'm going to buy the cross one for prom and share the jewel stud one with tziyang. speaking of ty, he looks damn gay now! he went to pluck his eyebrows and they're quite thin now like a girls. he kept saying he's chio and wants to put on make up. well... because of that, i've decided, plucking my brows is out of the question for me. don't want to look like a transvestite. ok realised i've been blabbering a lot of crap today. what a lousy entry.
2 days to prom and i've lost my voice. well done. hope my doc can cure me quick! demain, je vais chez le medecin.
today was also the day of meeting people. the day started with meeting my ex pri schoolmate, craig. think my cousin was with him too, but i seldom see him so i'm not sure if it's him. the most pleasant surprise was seeing albert! my classmate who sat beside me in ri! a damn sleepy looking guy who's quite funny and loves basketball. remember he used to sleep nonstop in class, the energy must have been used to played basketball. saw him at st. francis with his gf. and i gotta say, your gf is quite cute! well done bert! haha. oh can you believe this? we still have each other's kipling monkey arms because we exchanged them in ri. it was damn amusing, 2 big guys taking out their pencil case on the bus and showing each other odd looking monkeys with arms not matching the colour of the body! oh well it was great chatting with him. bert we must go play tennis or bball sometime!others i saw were golden head jianwei, good looking you an and the bleached head ghost riding a bicycle in the rain, lennard!

Supposed to study in school after a bit of exercise. i know it's mad, 'a' levels over why the hell am i studying?!!! well kinda have sat 2 this sat, and my study plan got thrown out of the door the moment i saw weijia and the rest in the school gym. Did a little workout and played touch! kinda lousy today, felt damn slow, though i know i am slow. the only advantage i have is my long arms to touch people, that's about it. can't side step, ain't got no skill and definitely no speed. well guess i need to work out more, do a little hamstring weights, and hopefully become a little faster. that's what i'm going to do, work out with dong in school tmrw morn! haha, need to get rid of my belly to fit into my shirt too.
Talking about shirt, i finally bought my prom shirt and a tie to go with it! can't believe i paid fifty bucks for the tie though, so must make good use of it in the future. the colour of my shirt is.... haha, shan't say it now, see it at prom! but the colour of my tie is gold. i'm really afraid someone will have the same shirt as i do, this kind of things always happens to me. i mean wearing my nice retro shirt to yeow kuan's party and there had to be a blondie with the same shirt as i do! quite pissed off. i'm not sure if it's the same but a few people pointed it out to me saying that it's similar, just that his was short while mine was long sleeves. there better not be a smart ass who is going to wear my shirt, or i'll... i'll not talk to him for the rest of my life!
anyway, it was fun shopping today, dong, jun and i! the salesman was very helpful and even was our image consultant. kept giving us tips on what to wear and how we'll look. very pro! even told us which jc people had my shirt, mostly jjc and tjc, so rjc........ i better be the only one! at first dong was thinking of the typical rich british boy look with the vest and checked shirt, he'll definitle stand out cos nobody will wear that. Besides, he has the guai boyish sporty look. in the end, when we told the salesperson our theme, chicago, he chose a slick outfit for dong and dong immediately set his mind on it. finally bought the smooth chicago dancer outfit, all prepared to 'qie' zhihon! haha..
but dear bro was nice to tape 'are you hot?' for me, i want to see the hot eurasian girl from the zone 1 first episode! so going to watch it now. and hopefully get motivated to get sculpted bodies like the hot dudes!

Yeow kuan's party rocks man! Dunno what the others think but i think it's much better than the first one although there were fewer babes. When chieh dick kwek porsh and i reached there is was like a ghost town. abandoning the party crossed our minds but yk being our friend, we decided to still support him. sparse crowd as compared to the first. and along the way we met pat lee who mentioned that the place was surprisingly quiet so she left. One good thing came out of the smaller crowd though, it was not so squeezy and cramp and we didn't have to queue up for over an hour. At the beginning, i thought it was quite sian, i mean so few people?!!! When i first went in, less than one quarter of the floor had people dancing. Some seniors were pissed off that they left the place.
as more people filled the place and when the rnb music kept playing non stop the place started to rock! we could even go up on stage to dance! it was definitely good exercise dancing and shaking the booty.
i believed the lovey dovey couples benefitted from the 2 slow numbers too. esp. 'someone'. haha. kept dancing til like about 3 then i started to daze out. just sat at the sofa and stoned. only when there were the songs i liked i would go back and dance for a while. the routine of resting and dancing continued til 545 when the entire thing ended. i thought the techno music at the last part was quite funny. don't like techno, but the hand actions and chants the people do while dancing to it is damn funny. even joined in to do those hand actions, the pointing, the hand fighting sequences with the guys. had great fun!
Well yeow kuan made a loss from organising the party, but he wasn't too sore about it. (i hope) Just as he said before the event, he just wants his friends to enjoy themselves. Well done yk! As for partying, wouldn't mind another session of dancing til my knees wobble and ache.

Whoa first day after the exams ended. slept at 6 am this morning playing gunbound. those ass friends of mine, practically all of them are playing, jasper, kianleong, dong, dick and everyone else. well after their incessant bugging and intense discussions about the game, i've finally succumbed and started my own account. dunk01. the game is just like worms but with a lot more stuff which i still do not know. the only thing i know is shoot, move and try to kill your opponent. oh and when you first start, your rank is 'cute yellow chickee'. slowly progressing to hammers and axes, though i don't quite get the link between chicks and hammers. oh well, shall have to learn from my expert friends.
today is also the day i've become the rebel! was sleeping soundly when my mum woke me up at ten. can you believe it? waking me up at 10am when i slept at 6 am. kept bugging me to wake up so that i can go have my hair cut with my bro. well was thinking of doing up my hair, so managed to drag myself out of bed. And my 1st step to rebellion! dyeing my hair! do you know that to highlight your hair they make you wear a condom on your head? well i knew that today. only then do they painstakingly pluck out your hair from holes in the condom so that they can dye it. overall, i'm pleased with the outcome.
2nd step to the dumping of guai boy image. piercing of ears! yepz, went to do it today too. went kindas afraid that i'll turn really red (i turn red quite easily) and blood will squirt out at high pressure when it's pierced. well it turned out fine, just that my ear lobe is quite thick so i felt a little pain while yeow kuan felt none. quite satisfied too, can't wait to take out the stud and get a new one. well... because of the piercing of my ear, giantess is disowning me! although i don't remember myself ever 'belonging' to her. haha. oh she wore real large round earrings today. shall try wearing one next time just for fun too! =) 3rd step? well there isn;t a third step yet. why don't someone give me suggestions? oh but i do want to pluck my eyebrows because i've a unibrow!!!! yeowkuan said he wanted to do it too, so might go with him. any girl wants to join us ? haha.
well tommorow's night is yeowkuan's party so people see you at embassy! shall go play gunbound now. Ciao!

WOOHOO!!!! Au Revoir 'A' levels et salut tout le monde! Tu me manque ma jolie blog. J'avais retourne.
Felt wonderful playing touch after the last paper yesterday! Good bye unhealthy lifestyle and hello fun games play and exercise! The exams are over... the exams are over... the exams are over.. the exams are over! whoa can't believe it. 12 years of mainstream schooling is over! a whole new life lies ahead of me. always hear people say wait til you are out there, only then will you know how shit it is and how well school has been shielding us from harm. oh well the time has come.
Celebrated the end of exams with a good friendly competition of touch. After the stupendous rugby world cup finals, who doesn't want to play rugby and emulate what their favourite players do? As usual there were lots of arguments, laughter, bickering and the ever present swearing. but who cares? i reiterate and drive home the point. THE EXAMS ARE OVER! haha. ok i'm going mad. yes the highlight of the touch was definitely the superb skill shown by leon aka carlos spencer. a through the legs no look pass to timo who eventually scored the try. and there were of course comical moments like timo's 'very tricky' sexy pose fake, the sticking behind of one of his legs and a complementary spastic smile. oh what good memories of rugby!

had south zone awards ceremony today. nice seeing everyone again. seeing my ex-classmates and the other rj people whom i haven't seen cos of prelims. i know it was only a short while ago but when graduation day is on thurs and there is the possibility of not seeing them until maybe prom or ever again, it's great to treasure whatever time we've left together. took lots photos too, can't post any now cos it's not in digital form. i've to wait for yk to pass me the long overdue cd of the photos!
the ceremony was boring. i mean how exciting can the going through of 400 names be. i was only kept awake by yk, his antics and the diaoing of the sajc emcee. he deserves to be suan man, the way he pronounces words is irritating. cedar girls becomes saddle girls and agnes becomes acnes.
i think the highlight of the day was me approaching a girl whom i didn't know. i'm shocked by my guts today, even though i was only asking on behalf of my friend, it's still surprising cos i've never done it before. dunno what got into me today. first i asked her if she could take a photo with my friend. later on when we met her at the bus stop i asked for her name. whoa! that was so un- me. anyway my friend is cloud nine with both her name and her photo. but hey **** **** make up your mind! don't be a playboy!
oh must congratulate giantess for getting into the ulu pandan youth executive committee and getting the post of secretary! she didn't even need us to vote for her la. even if jun, yk, dong and i didn't vote for her she'll still get in cos she like got the second highest no. of votes. well done overgrown oafess!
shall leave other more interesting details at ulu pandan cc out cos people will kill me if i do!

yay! wonderful day at the beach! sun, babes and sea. just love the beach where we can play volleyball, touch rugby and sun tan. besides there are many eye candies. haha. of course there are damn sick sceneries where you wish you were blind. i mean which guy would walk in a g string on the beach showing his ass to everyone! damn sick! and his trunks is so thin you can see his 'turtle head'. argh! to think jasper called him a 'ya' (male prostitute) and he didn't even get angry. guess he really is one!
ya of course there are the babes too. and i had my face in one of the babe pictures which ghim took. ghim, you must put the pics on your yahoo account, i'll go there to download. And finally i'm going to get a tan. i'm red like a lobster now, slapped loads of body lotion just now. hopefully i won't peel but will become nice and tanned. jasper, looks like your tanning oil is going to work.
well shall not ramble on about sentosa. going to watch 'qian nu you hun' already.

Salut! I'm back, albeit only for a while. When I read the blogs of others, I feel deeply ashamed of my command of english. I envy how others can put their thoughts into words so clearly and interestingly. When I read my own, I myself get bored. It's no wonder that I get 25 consistently for my essays. Considering how much time I've to spend to structure a sentence just so that it sounds right. I can only feel less intelligent and more demoralised when the results are released next week. When others are counting how many A's they will be getting, and how sad they will be if they get a C, I'm counting the number of subjects I will not do too badly in.
Ok on to happier stuff. Pirates of the Caribbean is a damn cool movie! Orlando Bloom is gorgeous. Johnny Depp is zany. And Keira Knightly is beautiful. Love the way they speak too. Ok shall spare the details. If you want details, go to the blog of the more eloquent Dickson. Oh one thing I noticed, it's scary how keira resembles nathalie portman. It's almost as though they are twins! If you remember the servant of queen amidala, I always thought it was digitally imposed, with nathalie portman acting as 2 characters. It was actually keira knightly! ok why don't you be the judge?
It's irritating when people I meet keep mentioning, "eh, you are so white." "wah, ni wei shen me bian de na me bai?"
It's not like I want to be white. I want a dark tan too. So I'm expected to study out in the sun? Or should I resort to the UV machine which louis koo and britney spears use to get their artificial tan? Argh! Ok I'll try to balance exercise and study this time. Hopefully my body will be more obedient this time and not succumb to the deep slumber due to the fatigue from exercise. Besides ns is just round the corner. Need exercise in the mean time so that I won't die during training! 14 Jan! That's so soon. Too soon.
Hopefully this entry won't be the last.

For a small girl like you, you certainly have many big aspects. You have a big smile. You have a big heart. You make a big difference in other's lives. And you left with a big impact on everyone.
I couldn't believe it then. I'm forced to believe it now. I keep asking myself why? Why you? What went wrong? No logical answer could be found. I guess it will remain a mystery.
How could you bear to leave us behind? All of us. If not for yourself, at least for us. I think so much that I become angry with you. On second thoughts, I cannot bear to be angry with you. You are such an angel. An angel so pure and innocent. An angel so cheerful and bubbly with happiness so infectious. An angel so helpful and kind. An angel so diligent and motivating. So what's bad about you? Nothing, absolutely nothing.
I remember last year when we planned the Christmas party for the elderly. When we had so much fun shopping at the concourse, buying the santa suit, marbles, and you were so amused at every other gadget and toy. How cute and childish you were. At the Christmas party, I noticed how you interacted with the elderly. Though you couldn't understand what some of them were saying, your wide smile just bridged the gap between you and them.
When we studied for the SAT last december, you even laughed at the ear plugs I used to help me concentrate. You were such a great study partner. Very motivating and always encouraging me to study harder.
Two saturdays ago, and it seemed just like yesterday as i recall everything so vividly. You were there giving a talk about your planned trip to tibet. Then you sang 'wo niu' with huayu playing the piano. As usual, your voice was so beautiful and captivating. Hobbit even presented you with a red flower to match your red outfit. We went exploring fullerton. You accidentally broke Yanling's slippers and we just sat there fixing it together. You even said you weren't gonna buy m)phosis footwear if all were so fragile. :) Finally we each took complimentary fuji apples and enjoyed it as we watched the pianist playing.
Just last saturday, you came to find us after your buddy lunch. I felt really hyper that day and playfully used your balloon to hit all your heads. You tried to hit me back but kept missing. You joined tousif and i in looking out for chiobus and yandaos. There was the guy with sexy bike tights and the man with a real hairy back.
I'll always remember you, your laughter, your voice, your smile. If you were truly unhappy before, you should be happy where you are now.
"Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah." Psalm 84:4
I'll miss you.
"For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling." Psalm 116:8

Stayed home all day! Handball during pe yesterday was really fun and i thought i felt like shit after that cos i wasn't fit, guess that wasn't the only reason. Then came 'the freezer' lt 2, shivered and trembled and hugged myself in attempt to stay warm during the entire torturous time of 2 hours in chem remedial. Finally declared myself stricken with fever after seeing the thermometer reading of 37.8 C. Hope i didn't infect all whom i had contact with in the canteen!
In the middle of the night, i felt like i was in a battle against my bed and myself. Turned and kicked and twisted and stretched as the discomfort ran through my insides. It didn't help that my brother was playing warcraft late into the night. Think i even sub consciously screamed at him to go to sleep.
The morning didn't start well too. Woke up with shouts from dad and mum telling me to get ready for school. (They never liked us to miss school) Though i felt better, thought i should stay in bed longer and maybe go to school later when i'm really feeling ok. The shouting frequency increased, so i decided to take my temp. Once again my all reliable thermometer read 37.8 C and i showed it to dad. To my disappointment and surprise, he told me to still go to school and if i felt worse later in the day then i should return. Feeling rather irritated by then, another round of beckoning resulted in me berating my parents for the lack of sympathy for a sick person and the lack of consideration for others. Going to school with a temp of 37.8 will only result in me being sent home so what for go to school in the first place! In the end, i was allowed to continue sleeping and start what was to be a slack day.
Watched 2fast 2furious. It was not bad i thought. Fast cars. Hot babes. Oh and the supermodel with the not too pretty face, devon aoki, didn't look that bad after all. Looked quite good in fact. The only productive i've done today was the packing of my files. Sigh. Ok hopefully i can something done after this entry.
Anyway is the tagboard server down?
