Mummy & Papa Here!!

Yeap just a short post here.. my parents came over to sunny singapore to visit me!!! and asked us to come for dinner so here are some pics which i've collated...

quite interestingly, they were looking for some kinda sweets.. yes i know that my dad has diabetes but still, mummy was lookin for that sweet which she ate when she was young... Sooooo.. turns out that Grace knows the sweet well too and too bad my parents are just here for 1 nite or else we could have went somewhere else to buy it..

it was a nice little dinner somewhere near paya lebar mrt with the *nicest* to date lamb rib soup that i've tasted sooo far.. even ah pa say it's good so it must be good.. den headed off to chill out at coffee bean coz can sit down comfortably...

oh well, it's just a short trip down here so i hope they enjoyed themselves.. coz i do!! and Grace does too!! haha!

More Work?? Off i go then...

Alrite.. as some might have noticed, it's so hard to maintain a blog.. coz i m just pure plain lazy and sometimes typing out everything seems like a chore to me as well...

but just some updates if you're still reading my blog!! haha.. i'm working now, doing my attachment at this company call BD. no it doesnt stand for backdoor but u can just google it and u'll find it for sure.

anyways, since i'm working, i've involved myself in something rather interesting lately... since last december when i went to the mission trip.. oh ya, i never update about the mission trip.. but yar just briefly, the mission trip to Senai was last Dec and i got to play with some cool SLRs so i kinda condemned those little pin hole cameras to eternal damnation.. that is why i also stopped taking pictures actively with my cam coz it turns out.. well.. not that nice.. 

anyways, the whole point is.. i've built myself some gundams, and i've taken some pics of it with an SLR.. marriage of 2 hobby if u'd say so... and thus i'm here to post some pics again.. haha

mind you, it looks like quite simple actually it took me more than 1 week just to trim the nip marks of the gundam, sand it down, remove lines, paint, assemble, go over with top coat and finally taking the pics... 

still looks amateur.. oh well.. i'm still learning.. 

Dear Blog,

Yes i know i havent update in ages, and today, because my heart and blood is in high tide, i shall come out from my hermit shell and do some ranting on this old space in the internet, so as to entertain or to humor some who still visits the blog.

I have been working. Hard. in a forsaken land call Tuas because i have to wake up 6 am everyday. YES. it is 6 am because my work starts at 745 am, which is blardy early if you ask me but then, there's no jam and i end at 445 pm. :D which is a plus. 

so far i've been into about 2 weeks of my attachment and everything is still quite smooth, with minimal hiccups. due to some coincidences and some accidences, i've managed to get 2 evening modules as well, which means that this semester isnt going to be as sweet as i'd imagined.  which is a good thing, considering i'd have to take 6 CORE MODULES AGAIN !@#%!$% if i dun take the evening mods this sem. 

sometimes i really wonder what on earth am i studying for because when i'm at attachment, i realise i'm not studying a single thing of what those engineers are doing there. :S not good eh, considering i'm working my ass off in school and coming out having to start all over again. but oh well, that's life sometimes... like a box of chocolates. you never know what you'll get. 

understandbly, i havent got time to do anything else other than coming back from work and sleep early and strangely, blog now. \^o.o^/ hmm weird. 

but anyways, i'm ending at 19th June. (see, have to begin with an end in mind) which means, that i will be just in time for an aussie trip from 24th June to somewhere in July. YAY! sooooo, tata ppl, have a nice sem mugging! 

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.

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

:) :) :)
