MY BLOG IS DYING

Because i'm just pure plain lazy to update even though i've finished exam since MONDAY. YES PEOPLE I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CLEARED A SIX CORE MODULE SEM! 

it is, up until now, the most worrying and traumatising sem i ever had and boy am i glad that i'm going for attachment next sem. Alrite, attachment is not a holiday... maybe i might even miss studying. YEAH RITE. not for now i wont!

i'm just ranting because i've been out since morning 8 o clock until about 11pm and i've just cleared a big business by the loo. yeap when exam's over, you have all the time in the world to rant. 

Gundam 00 End Song

It's very nice.. and here's the lyrics lol:

Friends by Stephanie

You had on the same smile

Even though the years have piled upon us

Impatient, we ignore the scenery passing by

Throw away your useless pride

Show kindness to the world

I gotta say

Even if we put on a courageous facade

We cannot live alone

The promise you made that day

Remains deep within my heart Even now

Partings and meetings

Finding light walking down new roads

Since the day we were born

This repetition has linked us together

When did you and I

Acquire such differing futures?

I gotta say

Even if we're far apart and never meet again

There is a strong bond between us

"Let my dreams come true"

I pray from the bottom of my heart

We're friends forever

Let's pledge to meet again

Swear on it

We're going to walk forward

Toward an unseen destination

Even if we're lost

We'll continue

No matter what

Amid the changing seasons

And the flow of time

Familiar melodies

Even when we grow old

They won't fade away

Our precious memories

I gotta say

Even if we put on a courageous facade

We cannot live alone

The promise you made that day

Remains deep within my heart

As life goes on...

Because we mustn't forget Yeah

Don't let it go...

This wide world or the people you hold dear

Possibly The Best Street Fighter Scene. Ever.

the best street fighter moment of all time.

YES WE CAN!

Well, it's a 'great journey ahead' for Mr Obama as he takes on the top job as the leader of the 'free world'. I must say, he did surmont quite a challenging task, outvoting the first female presidential candidate from his own party, then outlasting a seemingly more experienced candidate from the opposing party. 

Seriously, am i guy so interested in politics? actually no. maybe i'm just groomed that way since young - look at my own country's politics and you'd know why. so here's the latest parody, which out of all that i've watched concerning Mr Obama, is the funniest of all time.

About Last Night. only on south park. 

Gundam 00

Alrite. i have to admit that i'm not much of a gundam fan really. dont worry if you are not because i understand why. It is just pure plain boring if you watch them like halfway or something. Unlike those cool-like-shit robot cartoons u get when u were around 6-7 years old, there's a lot of talking and less fighting in the gundam animes. 

Until now. or maybe coz i've grown up coz Gundam 00 really does look like they kick ass. Alrite, another short history lesson. Gundam, where they might look similar in all the cartoons, are discontinuous - meaning each series is independent and not connected, much like final fantasy games where all of them have similar features but each of them are immersed in a totally different world altogether (japanese have a fetish for this kinda thing). 

So Gundam 00 is another series by itself and surprisingly, it has got a very matured theme unlike the rest of the anime that i'm catching. Political issues, racial and religion wars etc something which are happening in our world now. That's why it's very interesting. the first few episodes are quite standardly boring with more talks than fights but after a while, it really gets going and yeap, one of the more interesting shows i've catched this year :) 

I'M SO STARTLED!!!

actually, i think south park really is the most entertaining cartoon on earth. 

alrite, maybe not to kids that is.. 

BUSY weekend

Past weekend has been very happening haha...

was out to prayer meeting on friday, then practice until early in the morning which was well, kinda unplanned.. then gig yesterday at reddot which was quite a fun place to play and dined today at kuishin-bo.. i must say, for jap food lovers like me, it's really the place to go... 

Amazing Grace

Was in the midst of preparing for a lot of things - projects, lab reports, practices, meetings, and sharings but sometimes it's through the songs that He has wrote through human hands that brings us back, and give us the sense of direction in the midst of chaos. 

Was choosing songs just now and just sang the Amazing Grace for CG, which was really something very simple, but yet so deep in meaning...

'i once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now i see...' 

Dream Dream Dream

Love it when a lovely song cross my mind and i just have to put it here. it's a very old song but that's what makes it so nice :)

When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I want you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream 
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream 
Dream, dream, dream, dream 
Dream, dream
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream

Dream, dream, dream 
Dream

:) :) :)

Fun with Pics

Found something interesting online so posted a few pics here haha!!

Witchcraft!

It is incredible when technologies move so much ahead about microchips and stuff, this guy decided to take a step back and invented something so simple yet so nice :)

BORED. from. MUGGING.

was reading the notes for my upcoming mid terms and realises something which really jolted me up:

"If (pmE)/(kT) is small

==> alpha is small, i.e. (pmE)/(kT) is small!" (Dielectric and Magnetic Properties, 2008)

It is not taken out of context, merely an exact phrase by itself in the notes. Sometimes i wonder am i doing engineering or am i doing philosophy. 

"Do you believe me??? why you dont believe me???" 

. . .

Updates

it's been very boring these few days - mugging, eating, sleeping, more mugging etc... and tmr's my first mid term paper, which i'm totally not fond of...

apparently after an in depth analysis, we found out that our lecturer whose test i will be doing tomorrow actually kinda suffers from insecurity problems. he doesnt really explain the question properly but just keep asking us: 

"do you believe me???? "

"no.." (i'm not joking.. a class mate answered this)

"why you dont believe me???"

"maybe it shud have been xxyyzzxxyyzz..."

"no no you're WRONG. you're WRONG. you have to do more readings... why you dont believe me???"

I'm actually not kidding and it goes on and on.. and tmr i'm taking his test. great. 

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!

I'm here to post a BELATED BIRTHDAY POST to another very special person in my life, but whom i've only seen for a grand total of 1 = ONE = 一 day THIS YEAR. the only way i get to see her more often, is by going onto facebook and her blog, which has some of her pictures online...

well well... so yesterday was her birthday and i was very busy out with some stuff to do, which left me til today to post her something to wish her happy birthday :)

so here you go!!! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MY DEAREST ZEH ZEH... 1 hair short of becoming a MAMA soon.

O Happy Day :)

As i've already mentioned yesterday, it was a happy day and that's because yesterday was our anniversary!!! yeap yeap first year already lo :) was a day full of surprises and so i'm here to do a quick lil update on what went on :)

Went to pick Ms Pretty up during noon time and we headed off to lunch at the town area, eating our favorite subway and drinking coffee. after which we bought 2 tix for mama mia, which in my opinion is a really good show! ABBA is really good and those who like music and greece (no particular connection) should watch the show :) 

After that, we went to collect some "stuff" from a certain project friend of mine who was at Cathay waiting for me. Apparently, Ms Pretty wasnt very happy about it :( 

BUTTTTT!!! it turned out to be a nice planned surprise where Mr Loh was waiting for me at Cathay with guitar at hand. SO i played her a song right outside Cathay and gave her a lil present which would not be disclosed here in the blog. HAHA and sulk no more Ms Pretty became. 

After which we went on to Shokudo beneath Raffles City which serves Japanese food a la Marche style and my my, it's really good food to the maxxxxx. Doesnt come cheap tho but it was well worth it :) 

Managed to send Ms Pretty home and walaa!!! WHAT a day!! :) enjoy the pics :)

Ms Pretty with me outside Cathay where i played her a song :) 

One of the many delicious dishes from Shokudo, in this case the Jap omelette

Ms Pretty showcasing for the Jap pizza with eel and asparagus :) yummy!

Random shots :)

BLEAH :P

Favorite shot of the day :)

1 year lo! time passed so fast :)

Happy bouquet of flower

P/S once again many many thanks to Mr Loh for bringing down the guitar and for Ms Yap who lend me the guitar, even though both dont read my blog :D 

22nd Sept

Today is a special day. Really want to thank a certain Mr Loh for his kindness even though i'm 99% sure he wouldnt read my blog! lol! 

BUTTTT!!! Most importantly, want to thank God's grace for making today such a wonderful day :) 

tata!

MID SEM BREAK

is not a break at all. here's a song that's been ringing in my mind. i know it's a very verrrryyy old song but it's really sweet :)

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While youre far away dreaming

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Dont want to close my eyes

I dont want to fall asleep

Cause Id miss you baby

And I dont want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

Id still miss you baby

And I dont want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating

And Im wondering what youre dreaming

Wondering if its me youre seeing

Then I kiss your eyes

And thank God were together

I just want to stay with you in this moment forever

Forever and ever

Dont want to close my eyes

I dont want to fall asleep

Cause Id miss you baby

And I dont want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

Id still miss you baby

And I dont want to miss a thing

I dont want to miss one smile

I dont want to miss one kiss

I just want to be with you

Right here with you, just like this

I just want to hold you close

Feel your heart so close to mine

And just stay here in this moment

For all the rest of time

Dont want to close my eyes

I dont want to fall asleep

Cause Id miss you baby

And I dont want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

Id still miss you baby

And I dont want to miss a thing

Dont want to close my eyes

I dont want to fall asleep

I dont want to miss a thing

:) :) :) 

Sept 16

2 things are happening. 

first things first. Will Malaysia, after about 5 decades of governing under the BN, be defected to the opposition under Mr Ibrahim? As the book of wisdom says, there's a time for everything. SO! let history take its course. 

SECOND. which in my opinion is well, concerns me more (at least in the short term). Crysis Warhead is coming out. 

Gold

That's what i did today - beginners in alchemy or rather known as the module AL1001. 

Step 1: put the glass slides in a beaker of alcohol, then place them in the sonicator to clean them for 15 min.

Step 2: careful dry the glass slides and label them appropriately

Step 3: Put them into the gold sputtering machine, and operate it with the push of a few buttons. 

Step 4: VOILA! your glass slides has turned into gold pieces! 

i really felt like this guy when i did the experiment today though... with all the buttons... 

Google Chrome

Yeap there's a new kid in town call Google Chrome - BROWSER. yes it's entering a titan-filled competition with firefox and ie leading the pack. Google is really taking over the world with all their chio and mac-like application compared to well, windows. 

i'm using it right now and well, you can find out more about it here if u want.. it's quite cool!! HAHA... 

Life's getting busy with TGIO coming up and all the gigs and not mentioning CG stuff and sharing... PLUS ohh! i have to study... things arent getting easier in 3rd year... sian-ness.. especially if u have roaches visiting you once in a while... 

talking about roaches, yesterday as i was lying on the bed, talking to grace on the phone i noticed something black-like moving on the top of the cupboard. it wasnt fast, just well, sort of hidden. to my horror, it's a roach camping there like nobody's business. 

realising it's presence, i quickly armed myself with the shieldtox rapidkill (yes i bought it for this purpose) and took aim, then sprayed right into its path. it squirmed into the cupboard coz i guess it wasnt air tight when it's closed... luckily, it was a store of my boxes so i quickly open the cupboard, sprayed a good deal into it and closed it again. 

goodness gracious i thought i'll have a hard time collecting the corpse but to my surprise, it came jumping down and squirming on the floor just after well, 10 seconds.. *splat* and it's done.. dont wish to have more of them coming into my room but looks like it's inevitable since my room's the nearest to the kitchen... 

Inspiration

To go on blogging that is. Lately, there has been none and frankly i think things are getting tougher by the year. with 9-hour lab week creeping up ur back, and endless tutorials and lectures pouring in and a business plan which is going nowhere, this seems like a sucky sem to me.

lately i've been kinda sick too, cough this and that... but i guess that's just the mindtrick weather that we have here in dear Singapore. It was sunny like hell in the morning the other day and the next thing you know, rain's pouring down with no reserve. just after half an hour, the sun's out again and it is still raining. well, if that doesnt make u catch ur cold, i dont know what does...

i've just missed the 3rd lecture of the sem. and counting. i hope i can catch up. sobs.

Staying Alive Staying Alive

yeap it sure is hard to stay alive with the lazy bug in me every day... actually a lot of things are happening / has happened around me but i'm just pure plain lazy to blog about it.. HAHA

there was hmm... senior's performance, hall bash, orientation, ibg... and oh gosh, how could i forget, the Olympics. To be really honest, i think Beijing really did a fantastic job this time round. It's kinda hard to imagine how Britain is going to catch up with this year's game in 2012.

It's also particularly brilliant that this year, there seems to be more extraordinary things happening - Phelps with his 8 golds, Bolt with his 9.69 slacker run. He could've ran 9.55 if he pushed on til the end and i only hoped that he's not on drugs... Finally, Jamaica is giving US a run for their money. For the past few olympics that happened in my short 22 lifespan, US has been dominating the track scene but now things have changed. In that past few olympics, US and Russia has been dominating the medal table, but that has changed too...

Alrite, enough with the games but just one last comment.. i was shocked to see BMX cycles running funny wavey tracks as an Olympic sport.. and squash is not?! hmm...

Oh well, going off for another gig at Munchie Monkeys..

1 YEAR PLUS!

in the midst of my busy schedule, i've forgotten that actually, i've been blogging for a year and more!!! that's despite some very cold months with about 1 - 2 posts per month but i would say that this is some progress that i've been making!! HAHA

i didnt use to blog for so long coz i'm just pure plain lazy but oh well, sometimes it's good to rant and chant on the internet for everybody to see once in a while.. mainly, i've been updating movies and games critics but very little of my life.. well, that's because... ehhmmm.. it's private.. and mainly because i'm just pure plain lazy..

and sadly, i dont fancy taking pictures even though i have a camera.. so oh well, you all can only see words and lesser picture...

blogging can be quite some chore sometime and so i shall keep myself from being a bore to you faithful readers out there :)

The Dark Knight

Gone were the days when Batman wears a greyish rubber suit with his faithful companion in a colourful red-green-yellow costume. over the last few years superheroes movie and most of the good movies seems to stem from comics. well other than Hancock, which was well... hmm i shant say more. The last Batman movie was really good with depth and darkness, all that a batman show should have. this one is even better. particularly with another one of my favourites: the joker. i remembered watching the first joker on screen about more than a decade ago. it's nothing like what i've just seen and yeah, the joker shows you that you dont need effects to be a good actor. one of the best shows this year that i've watched. 9/10

Red Cliff

Watching 2 movies in a week is something which i only did in holidays, which is like now... so let's hear it from the first one: it's been quite a while since they released an epic chinese movie and frankly, this film on one small part of the Han Dynasty will be one of the best that i've watched. heck i dont really know much about romance of the three kingdoms but this show sure inspired me to read more. sorry to those who're outside of asia it will only be released in 2009! overall it's a great film with cheem chinese and my personal favourite: mr guanyu with his green dragon crescent blade. 8/10 oh yar, the show is about the battle of red cliff. how could i forget that HAHA.

Devil May Cry 4

To say that this game is good, well it will really underrated. personally, as a fan of role-playing games (FFX, Mass Effect, KOTOR just to name a few) and also a fan of fighting games (KOF, Street Fighter 1-3) , this game has incredibly fused this 2 together as a serious kinda hack and slash. Yeah it doesnt really have much of a RPG kinda build since it is almost entirely linear, the combat is just soooooooooooooo sweet. Mind you, it is not easy to play as i'm still trying to master certain skill but the tremendous satisfaction that it gives when you can execute let say, a High Roller + 2 aerial rave + jump cancel + devil snatch + 2 more aerial rave + devil trigger + devil snatch + 2 more aerial rave and a final buster in a matter of seconds, it really pumps adrenaline into your hands and well, gives u kinda like a good exercise. I've never written such a long review on games before simply because i enjoyed this game a lot. and how i thank God that it came out before school starts. 10/10

Hellboy 2

Yeah he sure is a redneck if u tell me. i've never heard of him before, even in comics and stuff. the only time i heard him before this is hellboy one, which kinda suck according to a lot of reviews. well, i guess this is one helluva rare sequel which is better than the original show. at least they didnt outdo their own failure *which in my opinion is the classic line for avp and avp2*. overall it's quite an entertaining show. 8/10

The Journey

well i started out long time ago, holding on to a slab of wood in the shape of a trident. how old was i? ahh... about 12 years old then. when i got the first solid body baby, i was about 15... hmm that seems kinda far away.. still remember the lake placid blue and one small flaw in it - the E string will always get tangled up at the edge of the fingerboard if you strung too hard.

i remember having lots of complaints about it - doesnt sound right, doesnt feel right and heck it just seems so common. i mean, which guy out there doesnt have an electric guit that looks like mine. and it wasnt an original strat to start with. so after a long consideration, i sold it and acquired something more exotic. les paul to be exact, and for a moment in history, i was in love with it.

as people grow, they change. so do i and when an opportunity arises for me, i've decided to get something for good - the tele. well it still pains me everytime i think of the lost now. she's really like the elegant lady who struts across in tremendous fashion and sings to you like nothing you've heard before.

but is she something for me? perhaps when she was taken away, there's a greater lesson to be taught - that something so grand may not be something which is suitable. it's like a ferrari. good to see, nice to play with, red. but i'll never get it, even if i've the money. HAHA.

you know i've heard many people say. at the end of the day, nothing beats the good ol strat. i used to think that it was just a stereotype. what possibly can a strat do. MAN i've owned one before. lake placid blue. rosewood neck. strings get stuck when you strung too hard. but i guess sometimes things just happened in a humorous way.

now that i've decided to get one at the end of the day just proved to myself that sometimes the best things are always around. you just need to know how to appreciate them.

Hancock

There are heroes... there are superheroes... and then, there's Hancock Will Smith. Seriously, if not for the comedian, together with a Charlize Theron, the 'han' would have been replaced with a 'dumb'. was a tad disappointed by the film, since it looks really kinda cool from the trailers and all but well, these kinda things happen.. so if ya wanna catch something slightly funny, slightly serious, slightly nonsense then this is the film for you :D 3.5/10

Diablo III

The picture alone is enough to excite any self-respecting computer user who grew up in the 1990s. if it doesnt, it means you didnt use the computer enough, or you were born a tad too late... MAN! this has to be the game to play. THE GAME.

which of course, according to blizzard tradition, will release in a few more years time. sad.

Verse of the Day

"Do not be yoked together with the unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?"

Just a few thoughts today when i read the Bible. Sometimes our judgment may be clouded by many things, but let God be our guide in all things to come.

21

Have been catching films like nuts lately and yeah, this is another one of the very nice shows which i've watched yesterday, but was quite stunned when someone asked me about its genre. hmm.. it's not thrill.. it's not action.. heck it's not romance... more like just an exciting story with good plot. 9/10

Mass Effect

When it launched, it was bogged down with a lot of controversies, especially the one where Singapore decided to banned it for a few weeks before releasing the ban due to an optional sex scene in the game. It has truly showed us how video game has progressed from merely super mario happy go lucky type to these rich, role playing type which almost appear to be a universal movie when you play it.

i suppose we need to exercise discretion for all the entertaintment that we enjoy from, whether is it playing WOW, watching movies or even listening to songs. addiction is always dangerous and harmful i suppose, and it is something that will give someone a nolife tag, which is what most WOW gamers have under their title.

sooo.. back to the game, story's great with rich civilisation and all those spacefaring jargons. really a very rich and diverse game. i'd definitely give it a 9/10.

Wanted

Havent been updating reviews on movies. well that's coz i havent been watching many and so this is one of the more exciting shows that i've caught recently... Quite exciting i must say, and worth the time to go and watch.. maybe they got the formula right - cars, woman, action, bending bullets and a twist. be warned tho, i think that if a girl go and watch this she might find it a little tad boring. HAHA. 8.5/10

Alrite Alrite

First of all, i tot that my blog was dead so no one reads it and prolly nothing would have come by if i post something like what i post in the last post. thanks to all you loyal readers out there who actually thought that i was breakkking up... HAHA

second thing of all, NO i did not break up. it sounded like one when i re-read my post again but it was never intended to be meant that way... sorry to disappoint u ppl out there but too bad moses is still attached!!! WAHAHAHA i ought to get slapped...

anyways, have been contemplating of going to aussie for a break.. should i or should i not.. since i was terminated (prematurely) from my work... T_T maybe i really shud get some R&R before the 6 core sem hits.. THAT is going to be a big chunk of CAP thrown down into hell...

ciao..

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh

after a long breeeeaaaakkk of silence, i shall once again update my mouldy blog. it's been quite a while and i've been very upset about certain things but now it should be left behind and i should move on.

jiu de bu qu, xin de bu lai.

so on a happier note, we're actually playing for a bizad gig at timbre @ clarke quay today. Thus i have to end this short and rush down like NOW.

tata ppl. ^-^

Most Irritating Thing

is when u realised that you're down and u want to express urself through music.. and u find that your guitar is stolen by that guy and u dont have the baby that you wish you have...

it's a vicious cycle. you just get more and more down.

Time FLIES

You have absolutely no idea what can actually happen in such a short time. Yes i'm quite surprised myself..

my grandma passed away
my exams are over
d block was on fire (i am serious. and i'm not talking figuratively) a couple of days ago
i have to shift due to the fire
my guitars were stolen by a cleaner
the police broke him down and
i'm waiting for the police call...

sometimes i feel that too drama is not actually a good thing. it's tiring.

Exams are my Friends

RIGGHHHHHTTTT!!!!! soooo no updates now til about may.. which will have lesser updates because i will probably be playing games and working busily...

Reunion

As they say, time flies like arrows, and fruit flies like bananna. Alrite, jokes aside, it's been quite a while since i've met up with just my own immediate family. Sounds funny rite? but to tell the truth, we didnt have dinner with just the 4 of us, for at least a good 7 years or so now. So those who are reading this and u have dinner with ur kor kor or zeh zeh or mummy and daddy all the time at home, u shud be grateful... HA HA..

But it was a good weekend, despite not really feeling great when i go back coz grandma is not doing well lately.. but i'm still glad to have seen her and i think she was more than happy that we came back to visit her.

well... there are things which will happen no matter what. Death is one of them and i wouldnt want to deny that.. At least she has her answer to eternity and that's all that i'm glad for.

Dancing

Alrite... much to say, i'm not really a dance person even though i did join RAG dance and we won... well uh.. it was just not me to spend many hours tolling my body to dance well. i'd rather move my fingers over the fretboard well into the night if i have to do it....

BUT... the video really rocks.. and if u have time, u shud go and check out these guys.

April Fool's Day

Yes a lot of ppl laugh when they know when's my birthday... i used to think that having a birthday in conjunction with some celebrations was quite cool and was something to show off... yar even on April Fool's day... so i decided to play a prank on my mum 22 years ago and pop out that day in Kuching SGH...

well then, april fool or no april fool, i'm a year older and hopefully a tad wiser.

but i still cannot go to st james. shux.

Good Friday

What more can i say?

Fire Drill

is such a chore. They woke me up from my nice cosy little nap and i had to go to some meeting point before some stupid meeting takes place and disperse us. The bell was so loud i thought the sky came down in my sleep.

but they do succeeded this year in surprising me coz i never heard anything about it beforehand and no one said anything. Maybe i didnt check my email. Oh well, back to studies.

Lethargic

It's not really a good thing to do that, because i just dont feel like doing anything. At all. the sheer amount of webcasts that's awaiting doesnt seem very palitable and studying really seems like a chore. Oh well, it's going to be over in 1.5 months time...

I'm just looking forward to weekends. This week is passion week, and i'm most probably going into Malaysia to sing choir during Good Friday.

Studying really is quite sian. i bet working's not much better.

zzz.

New Baby

Taking my time off from study to post about my new baby... aint she pretty with her cherry sunburst alder body and one piece maple neck... and that's not even to the tone and sound yet. sold my les paul to get this telecaster..

baby in her full glory.. chioness...

Life is Short

Please pray for my grandma.. she's not well.

Special Day :)

And yes it was. Had 2 papers and decided that it's the max that i can go. for now. another paper on friday which requires me to mug through the night. again. oh well, now you know what awaits you when you go to university. they tell you about living life the way you want, free as a bird and free from stress unlike what you are going through now. truth is, that's only possible if you're L.

So i've decided to have a good day today and yeap, thanks to the pretty girl, she really made my day :)

went out to have dinner at her favourite restaurant, and then off to tcc at T3 to have a drink and to chit chat chit chat... haha :) so it's a happy day indeed.

That's her minty choc frappe, which tastes more like chocolate drink with a tinge of mint

And that's my oreooooooooo mocha frappe. For some reason, i'm just addicted to oreooooooos.

Pretty girl actually did cross stitching!!! so she was very excited when she found a similar design on a bookmark in precious thoughts and yeap, here's the very cute picture you see with the angel in prayer :)

Pretty girl herself :)

Sometimes I Do

yeah.. sometimes i do...

PS/ Freeloaders just clinched the champion for Talent Quest 2008 yesterday at Zouk. yeeeay..

Talent Quest

It's an annual competition organised by the NUS science club so this year the Freeloaders decided to join and yup, we got through the auditions. Well next up all the bands were suppose to play at Dempsey Ben & Jerry's for half an hour as a showcase for their talent and the finals will then be held on 1st March at ZOUK. We just played our showcase just now and everything went well.

Except that the showcase wasnt at Dempsey Ben & Jerry's. It's suppose to be at Cathay and our dear Timothy Kooi Kooi went to check and adamantly insisted the night before that it's at Dempsey road. Maybe he didnt check. Maybe he did. But here's what we have to say to him..

It's too late to apologise~~~ It's too late~~~

~~ehh ehh ohh

see you guys on 1st March at ZOUK.

Updates

For what seems like a very long break, it certainly does take a toll on a very tired me. havent been blogging a while because i've been utterly caught up with all the things that's going on - school work, new stuff for Rockers, upcoming TGIO, talent quest gig (which we're playing tonite at Dempsey), and most of all, the special day tomorrow...

and of course, there's the less important ba kua news like our dear Mr Edison Chen making it big in the internet. with Ms Chung and a host of other lady stars. Seriously, entertaintment business feels like just a hoax with all these stuff going around.

March is the crunch month with all gig (talent quest, production, TGIO, jazz band, open house, Rockfest) stuff, not forgetting our very all-time-favourite mid term test. so i guess this space gonna be a bit mouldy. Not like it's not mouldy rite now.

tata ppl. and work hard. or else it'll be too late to apologise~~.. it's too late~~

HAPPY CNY!

Happy CNY people! in less than 5 hours i'd be on the bus back to Malaysia to celebrate CNY... good time for a break with so many things flying here and there!

tata!

Dark Age

I was in utter shock when i saw this. It's something that really put my mind into an angry mood because it's just too horrendous. He actually SAID those words and imagine being one of those lost souls in the crowd. We're living in a dark age indeed, and sometimes it really makes us appreciate and spur us on to really understand what God said and what God really meant.

i didnt want to post it here because i think it's just disgusting. you can see it here.

Schedule

Just felt a bit busy suddenly. Wasnt something that's too unfamiliar with me but sometimes when busyness sets in loneliness sets in also. It's hard to explain i guess but there's this emptiness when we're taking a break from all these routines that we're doing.

Whining a bit because i guess there's not much time to do so in this current semester. Just take a look at the timetable. ZZZ

Cloverfield

Cloverfield is suppose to be some giant monster lurking around and suddenly on one fine night decided to emerge on New York City and rip off the head of the statue of Liberty. And also deal a hell lot of damage to the other buildings. The idea of filming with the videocam really makes you hate it or love it. For me it's the former, unfortunately. But i must say that this is a GREAT improvement from the previously budget hit Blair Witch Project. At least you can see some action and of course.. the monster. At the end of the day, i'd just like to own the webcam that they are using. It's indestructible. 6/10

World In Conflict

So tell me. How many of you think that Command & Conquer Tiberium War was good? Good aye? This baby here that i've just finished will blow your mind away if you think C&C is good. We were just looking at the graphics itself, and you can hear what the pilots of the Apache was talking when you zoomed in all the way from the aerial view to the chopper in real time. Not to mention intense gameplay and a superb storyline. 9.5/10

My Handphone

Recently, i've been hanging out with very different people across all different ages so i've got to witness some very different mentalities towards the little things in life. Particularly about handphones, because i've met these 2 little boys who just had their first handphones in their life, so it kinda reminded me when i got mine like what... 6 years back?

It's kinda funny when they keep playing songs from their phones over and over again and try to save each others nicknames instead of their real names in the contact list. Man when i had my first handphone, it didnt even last 2 weeks and it got lost on the bus. i cant even view colour pictures from it but at that time, it was such a cool phone! and i kinda get screwed coz it was not exactly cheap (even though it was 2nd hand) and i was using a Hi-Card, which means all the credits inside is lost and i have to change my number and etc etc..

Yeap this is the phone that got lost 6 years back on a bus going towards Whitley Road.

by the way, i still know of ppl NOW who are still using the same Hi-Card from 6 years back. But i digress. The way the boys' faces lit up when they talk about their phones makes me wonder whether there's anything that makes me do that anymore. Oh well, maybe i've really grown up. How time flies :)

Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End

Finally. After a long and arduous wait, i've got to catch this fantastic film. Not that i didnt want to watch it at the cinema but it was released at the time when i was stuck at Deutschland and unfortunately on the day that we wanted to go and watch it, i fell sick. So i ended up missing the whole show until today. Hmm, i must say, this is a very long show. BUT, it is a very nice and long show and thus i think, it is comparable to the first one which was nothing but fantastic. 9/10

Achmed

Boy this is really something to laugh about... haa haa!! SILENCE! I KILL U!

I Am Legend

Contrary to what others find it, i actually find this film quite interesting... and exciting.. maybe because i'm not watching it in a theatre and spending my money.. and of course there is the fact that i'm craving for some movies to watch. So i chose this one and to be honest, i find it better than other post apocalyptic shows (28 days later, 28 months later, 28 years later? 28 etc etc etc) where virus infection has spread through and killed everyboday. And of course, will smith is a good actor :) 8/10

Flying on Wheels

Sadly, i wasnt able to do that today because of gloomy weather and intermittent rains. But recently i've picked up this hobby (recently = few months back) and i'm very happy to say that finally, after falling down a few times and inujuring myself a few times, i can blade. And it's more fun than cycling... haha. at least for now.

There you see it. It's my beloved bumblebee :D

Crysis

Finally, i got to finish this game after intermittent gameplays and busy schedule. Guess this period is the only time that i can breathe and do without practice for a while and thus, play games to kill some of my time. What else can be said about Crysis? Hmm.. if not for the few bugs that i encountered at the end it would have been perfect.. and there's going to be a sequel to it, or maybe more so stay tuned :) At the end of the day, this is a fantastic game. Not as engaging as COD4, but more like Commando and single-handedly destroying everything. haa haa. 9.5/10

Wedding Day

is busy day. And of course, it is a tremendously joyous occasion so here i am, wishing Mr and Mrs Lim a blissful marriage ahead of them and may they have many babies to come. Even though Mrs Lim likes to suan me a lot, i shall hereby overlook that point for one day and wish them a very happy honeymoon at NZ :D how nice i am. HAA HAA.

So here are some pictures from the big day...

There you go. What a lovely couple. I think Jason was trying to communicate with me and that's why it resulted in his cheeky look above.

As you all can see, it was David and May's turn last year and this year, they've brought a little addition with his pong pong cheeks to the wedding! Hi baby Declan!

Well other than wedding day, had some audition in the afternoon as well, and surprisingly, it didnt take very long. With Shili's superb directional skills, i managed to get lost in Bugis before finding Tim and make my way to the meeting point.

Us after the audition. Humidity was soaring and that's why everyone look so uh... tired and wet.

And of course, how could we forget the fabulous wedding night. This year, i have the honor to be the MC again and decided to wear something special. (actually, it's because i dont have any other suit to wear after that afternoon's sweaty intervention at Music Garage)

What an eventful day. I was snoozing even before i got home. Once again, i would like to congratulate Mr and Mrs Lim on their big day and finally, Jason dont have to sleep on the floor.

Movie Mania

Due to recent travelling and busy schedule, the blog has been a little inactive. But it doesnt mean i am, and some ppl requested that i post some more pics but i'm just lazy larh.. maybe sooner... or later... haha depending on my mood...

Just got a com for Christmas so havent really showed it yet but have been busy playing games and of course watching movies so i shall now talk more about the recent shows that i've caught.. not really a good blockbuster new year i would say..

Alvin and the Chipmunks!

First up is the best of the lot i think, and i just love the way the chipmunks sing and well, i find myself singing to their songs after a while.. Theodore is really cute.. But of course, there is the predictable storyline, the lack of realism (but it's acceptable and very cute) and so forth.. but overall, i think the music really rox.. well, if you can talk in chipmunk voice.. 7/10

Alien Vs Predator 2

Next up, is the crappiest of the lot. Watched the first one but i dunno what got me to watch the second one because it is really something that tries to be very tense but turns out to be like a joke. Please larh. 4/10

National Treasure 2

This one is quite exciting actually. Just watched it this afternoon and well, if it aint the movie craze that i have in KL now.. haha.. cheap tix.. It's a bit exaggerated.. and well 'a bit' is if you can imagine yourself kidnapping the President of US of A and get away with it.. yeap. that's how real the show is, but it's really quite exhilirating. 6/10
