till we meet once again.
its the time in our lives,
where we close old chapters,
and start new ones.
its that time when the boys around us leave for service,
while the girls carry on their pursue of education.
I guess, this is a time where we throw normality out of the window,
I do embrace new beginnings and adventures, but its always
a bitch to put old ones down... who knows how far can this milestone
in our lives strain existing relationships... no more lepak buddies,
drinking sessions, fishing, pool, late night movies, riding sessions,
movie marathorns, staying up late, fantasizing of our rich and
powerful lives ahead... har!
Qian was one of the first of my buddies to go down...
Heard he's doing well in there ;)
so it ain't that bad, heh. can't wait to meet up with that piece of a chimpenzee.
Spence's going in next tomorrow afternoon... he's a tough chimp, as long as
his glasses don't break and he goes blind, he's be just fine in there... so JP,
please try not to worry too much, he's going to be fine in there...
Adriel, Desheng, Bo Chang & I are going in next on friday 8 am... time to
bid freedom farewell... heh. my mum's preparing steamboat dinner for me...
kinda like the last farewell... talk about "emo" running through my family.
heh.
And of course to my million dollar baby... one that showered me with patience
i truely did not deserve... tolerating my every agitated frown, my ever moody
temperment, my sudden burst of lameass humour and my crazy half-ass
impulsive ideas with nothing but god given patience, understanding and smiles. My buddies around me truely know that I do not deserve such fortune, heck, i don't think any guy does. How is it that sometimes, i could forget how fortunate i was, i really do not know... if only time was not so cruel, if only time was to give us a loan, maybe it would turn out differently... But somethings are not within our control,
not within even my control...
you'll always be on my mind. ;)

Okay, enough hate mail... no more pink, aint no more hello kitty, heck no more steven lim with a hard on.. back to good old boring star wars for the win.
Yup, Luwin's correct on the 'Definitely' word.
definitely adv.
Usage Note: Definite and definitive both apply to what is precisely defined or explicitly set forth. But definitive most often refers specifically to a judgment or description that serves as a standard or reference point for others, as in the definitive decision of the court (which sets forth a final resolution of a judicial matter) or the definitive biography of Nelson (that is, the biography that sets the standard against which all other accounts of Nelson's life must be measured).

there are two kinds of love.
one's like a cloud, you can't feel it, but you can see it.
one's like the wind, where you can feel it, but you can't see it.
Tuesday, May 17, 2005
finally... after dunno how much consierations involved (thanks you two!) ... i finally found the present for her.. hope she'll like it.. if not well... i'm screwed ;).
Yesterday, Luwin, JP, Spence & I were playing pool at Classic, when behold, the table opposite of us, were 3 ladies...
A fat girl, in a pink hugging top and short denim skirt.... whom we named, "Luncheon meat".. and JP went.... "Luncheon meat, nice... i like, saltyyyyyyyyyyyy" haha.. basket...
the second girl, a normal looking short hair girl in short skirt and a camo jacket, we called her "Cucumber" haha.. i also don't know why...
and the third girl, was this tell, slim babe, with a sweet face and long legs and a very stylish dress sense that was attracting alot of attention, was in a green top and the new levi's jeans... that jessi has as well, 179 bucks...
anyway we decided to call her "Celery" haha cause she is tall.. and well... flat... yup, we were analysisng her boobs for like 15mins... haha and then Luwin came over and said, "you wanna see Celery topless?", then he unbuttoned his shirt and showed us his own chest. then smirked "same la" hahah. bastard.

it suddenly occured to me...
who the fuck would read the crap i just typed below...
i went to proof-read it once, and i realised...
no one would understand what i just typed....
hell, all your base are belong to us,... makes sense?
Yes, i think its official, i am a dorkinerd (a dork-nerd)
this is why....
i swear, i play more MMORPG (multi player online role playing game) then anyone i know.
1. Diablo on Battlenet (yeah the pirated one) [6 months+]
2. Ultima Online (one of the best) [18 months]
3. Everquest (i played since release, including seven expansions) [2-3 years]
4. Shadowbane (played their invited beta testing, the game sucked) [1 week]
5. Dark Ages of Camelot (the one with Afterlife, yes, Afterlife!) [1 year +]
6. Final Fantasy Online (Looks nice...........) [1 month]
7. Star Wars Galaxy (Awesome! maybe cause i just liked starwars) [6 months+]
8. Diablo 2 + Expansion [3 months+]
9. Shattered Galaxy (the first MMORTS game i played, fun with Jack) [3-6months+]
10. The Godfather of all MMORPGs - "World of Warcraft". [6 months +]
Probably in all 8 games, i found sucess in:
-Star Wars Galaxy, was endless supply of cash from HAVOC guild (we were controlling the economy) & sick sick sick sick Rebel bashing with kryat pistols and 90% armor with Kellan; and yup, Jonathan Charles Tay played this game with me, haha.
-Everquest, although i did not attain any sense of uberness/success compared to the rest of the population of the game, it was in this game i met a bunch of SG crews, and also the game i made 2 real life friends my buddies. Cheers to Alex Pek, Jack Tay, Eugene Vong, Ivan Tay, Zoe Kwok, Claeton a.k.a ChinaMat and Flama a.k.a EmoKing.
-World of Warcraft, plainly cause the SG crew had such a presences in Requiem, the leading guild in Spinebreaker, with Eugene, a.k.a Kyzo being their main tank;and yup, i played this game with Elroy ;).
-Dark Ages of Camelot, now this game was pretty good, but it was made a whole lot better when we got into the guild of Afterlife... yes Afterlife, if any of you guys that read this actually plays Everquest/WoW, you guys would have known Afterlife, Fires of Heaven, blah blah... Yup, its the original Afterlife crew, with Ilyacus, Hobben, Thott... (yes, Hobben & Thott, the two guys that Blizzard Company hired to help design World of Warcraft) This bunch of guys from Afterlife were just plain sick, they are elite for a reason man. imagine a top 20 list for each server (about 2500-3000 players) and out of the top 20 fighters, about 10-15 names are Afterlife's :), thats how elite we are :P And for some wierd sick of fate, we also have organisation DROW (also another uber Everquest guild) on the same realm as us, and we wared with Colonyraiders (Singapore guild) haha... was quite a laugh... yup this may sound dumb, but Eugene, Alex and I are the only 3 singaporeans to ever join the Afterlife guild, if only this would impress my future boss in my resume :p

ain't she just sweet.
Friday, May 13, 2005
Okay Jessica and Nicole, dont say i never helped you guys check out tioman, here are the info, up to you two ladies to get the people :) well. after spending endless hours (actually about an hour), surfing the net and getting the rates... i finally came up with a couple of suggestions and ideas for our trip.
Disclaimer, all this info are from the internet, and the prices are my rough estimate, it is definately going to cost more then what i quoted, so be prepared, and it WILL happen, to put aside more money if we are going.
Tioman Island
***Getting There***
Basically, the most practical way to getting to Tioman Island, is to get to Mersing in Malaysia first, then take a ferry to tioman.
-Singapore to Mersing-
1) Take a bus from Singapore to Mersing, 6.30am daily Bus from Newton Circus ( Fare Unknowned)
2) Take a cab from JB, rates are 100RM per way, split between 4 passengers is about 25RM per person
3)Take a bus from JB to Mersing, 8RM per person, 8.30am Bus.
-Mersing to Tioman-
1) Speed Ferry 30RM per way 3-4hrs (last ferry at 4pm)
2) Speed Boat 45RM per way under 2 hrs
***Lodging***
well, this is basically a resort that i have found, the Japa Mala Resort
http://www.myoutdoor.com/tiomanisland/cocos.htm - this is a rating of their resort.
http://www.japamalaresorts.com/ - this is their official website.
***Price***
if we were to stay at the Japa Mala resort (Sea View Chalet), they offer two types of prices.
Package Deals = 3d 2n, RM 540 nett per person, includes Daily breakfast + lunch + use of snorkeling + fishing equipment
Non-Package Deals = RM 380 nett per room/night, which well.. includes nothing...
------------------------------------
Basically, assuming that each Chalet holds 2 persons, renting the entire chalet for 2, for 3d 2n would cost 760RM, compared to 1080RM for the package deal for two... we save 320RM, and i seriously doubt 3 days worth of lunch + breakfast (WTF eats breakfast anyway?) is worth the additional 320RM.
so if its 2 per chalet room for 3d2n, each person would roughly fork out.
380RM for lodging
about 150RM for transport (Taxi from JB + Speed Ferry, both ways, [can be cheaper if we take a bus or a normal ferry])
Total 530RM excluding spending (what can we spend there anyways beside food and snorkeling stuff?) when converted to SGD is about, 231 SGD.
so its 230SGD for a 3d2n stay at the Japa Mala resort with transport. if ya look at the website, its a fucking sea view, what say you guys? think of it.
total fucking privacy with only 2 per chalet.
fucking cheap cigerattes and alcohol, and party till we die in one of the sea view chalets and pluge to our deaths in the ocean.
cheap good local fare.
renown beaches and snorkelling (diving if any of u fuckers got a license)
Nature paths + waterfall.
late night parties at our chalet til the locals come to us with parangs.
and as i know most of you won't check out the pictures, i'll post some of the pictures of the Japa Mala Resort.. let me know how okay!
These are the Seaview Chalets that i'm talkin about, with the view to the ocean
This is the angle looking from the Seaview Chalets
The living quarters in the chalet
Single Chalet View
Lepak anyone?
okay thats all, if you guys want more information, let me know...

simple plan, simple minded, simple who?
it seems that i'm not the only one that finds simple plan crap...
below are extracts of posts from a punkrock video request forums, and i'm talking about bands like, the used, greenday, my chem romance, distillers, jimmy eat world, sum 41, etc... and this joker went to request for... Simple Plan's Shut Up Video... and from a simple thread of video requests, it became a 100++ replies flame thread.... enjoy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sarah_emo_br: Hey, make me happy!!! I want so bad download Simple Plan new video 'shut up'
+If I thought it was punk, i might;
+hey dont diss simple plan .. enough its getting fucking old.... they are good guys;
+I'm sure they're really nice.. But they're music is shit.
+whats the video with that guy out of roadtrip? that video made me cry;
+i think you're talking about "I'm Just A Kid" .... dont think too many people will like that song concidering NOONE likes simple plan;
+I would call Simple Plan a whole lot of terrible;
+dude just to tell u, if u think simple plan is punk , ur seriously fucking gay. go up to the punkers and go "ISNT SIMPLE PLAN COOOOL!?!!" and they'll kick ur ass cuase they suck;
+i think people who try to make themselves look like punks (Simple Plan) are gay and need to be raped like a straight man in prison;
+More like a straight man being raped by 4 800 pound raving homosexuals;
yeah and plenty more of this shit, it feels good to know that i'm not alone...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
haha, you guys would never believe it... but i actually pulled a muscle on my side this evening doing an extreme sport... well.. i only have one person to blame! haha. me.. on my stupidity.. as always.. whats new man....
its amazing, how fickle i can get, we pretty much well.... took almost a full hour deciding what to have for lunch, can you fucking believe it, and its amazing that my girl did not just jab a pen through my eye for taking that long...
oh well.. but i learnt many things from today, such as....
-Kenny Roger's mashed potatoe has a shrimp-like gravy, which well.. basically sucks balls.
-I remembered why i did not enjoy their corn muffins.
-We found new ways to entertain ourselves.
-One listerine pocket packs is more then enough, two is pushing it. (yes i'm a wuss)
-Everything in Suntec actually closes early.
-The fountain at suntec do not just have their laser shows on weekends. (haha sorry bangladeshy tourists, my bad!)
-the hippo tour buses are gay.
-so are the duck tour buses.
-if you think it sounds stupid saying just "hun" instead of hungry and "toi" instead of toilet, you should hear me at the MRT station.
-some abhesives are only good for about a hundred washes, and they feel fake.
-sometimes, hamster food, may smell so bad and foul, but for some sick reason unknown to modern science, my hamster (hammie) actually does eat that crap.
-my hamster is NOT fat, he is just bigbone.
-I can predict the future, infact, i can predict the future for about the next 2 decades ;)
-My girl, for some unknown reason, even to mordern and ancient science, can sit on a metal bench for close to 5 hours.
- First there are babies, then smokers, finally couples...
-If there was a competition, we would have won a car, maybe even two.
-The only person that could make me return a bloody expensive sony ericsson phone i found on a bench would be my girl.
-Theres only 1 joshua, they decided to name him Gabriel... oh well.
-I found a way/substitute for smoking.
-And its alot healther.
-I can climb a lamppost higher then Spence, but i can also land harder on my ass.
-Foot reflexalogy footpaths for the elderly, are meant for the ELDERLY, for a damm good reason.
-You pay 14 bucks to watch animals scratch themselves in public.
-28 is not 88!
-28 goes to paya lebar. 88 goes to ang mo kio.
-oct 15... fuck it. hah.

yo homies, back from batam, (no not for a fuck fest), for cable-skiing!.
was pretty awesome, 4 boards for me to try on, the food was decent, the drinks are cheap, the cigs are outragiously cheap *hugs Capri*.
Went there with, Jasper, Weilin, Andrew, Spence, Johan, Daniel, Steve and 8 other peeps we dont know.. but what the heck.. we had a great time... although i've learnt some valuable lessons there..
1. Jasper cannot jump far, infect, he looked like an idiot doing the raley off the dock.
2. Do not, i repeat, DO NOT, try and see how far u can get drag on your back.
3. The kickers and ramp look way bigger when you're actually riding up them.
4. Jasper and i, just can't tendum together... we are bound to crash and hurt my head.
5. Have I told you never to get dragged on your back?
oh well, enough said, burnt and aching bodies are a testament to a great day of wakeboarding... so here are the pics.

i mean i love all the songs by My Chemical Romance, i think their album rocks balls.
but after watching endless videos of their live performances...
i just find their frontman, to look, well... kinda like a loser,
but hey, thats just me.. my 2 cents.
Tuesday, April 26, 2005
i've always been idealistic in my approach to life.
needing to daydream...
needing to fantasize...
i need to look at something, figure out a better, more exciting approach to life...
why do people like to pull me back down, dampen the thoughts and ideals i have of the situation.
i can't help but try and find a better alternative to what
shit thats presenting itself to me... even if its a riskier, maybe unrealistic approach...
is that immature of me?
is that denial?
i like to dream.
i like to plan.
i hate to regret.
i hate pragmatism.
i hate to look back, yet i find myself doing that, every single spare moment of my time...
what the fuck...
------------------
Monday, April 25, 2005
i'm digging-
my sag baby.
lacoste polo tee.
wakeboarding more.
my bottle of gin.
chocolate tiggles.
more credit limits on my card.
my fading cigs.
-----------------------------

"The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves.
And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture dosen't work, dont buy it."
"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.
A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle"

Okay, as of right now, I am pretty much close to the limit for my treshold of my boredom... And as a result of such limitless boredom, i present to you, my blog!, or the real name is actually online weblog, hence the name blog...
I have no idea what the fuck i would really direct to you here, but i hope it would be educational, be it rubbish or true life events... and i really sucked at my command of the english language... so.... daym.. Well, since the 24th of March 2005, i've pretty much been lepaking around, and i am desperately in need of re-employment... i have pretty much stopped playing WoW, cause, in all honesty, the game rocks, but the commitment required does really suck major balls... but oh well, i'll miss eugene, ivan, calvin and shuana.... you guys rock major balls ;).
So... nothing much really happened, been dying to go to Batam cableski with my homies, but Jasper has his papers to finish, so i guess i gotta wait for awhile... probably around the 20th to the 27th... when andrew meads is in singapore and he can join us... then you guys gotta see, some sick sick tricks ripping up the waters at Batam! whoooopy. The golden couple has also decided to join us over at Batam, so it should be alot of fun, the sun, the sea, the goofying around, endless booze and dirt cheap cigerattes... oh yeah... shangri-la, here i come.
Nothing else is really happening, been lepaking around with my homies, JP's birthday was around the corner, so on the saturday before her bdae we decided to celebrate at fullerton hotel's chocolate buffet with my girl yves and spence.... daym, those ladies sure can eat chocolates man... and yves made brownies for everyone to go around too... deliriously sinful, daym... but she's an angel for doing that. Jp's main bdae was on the dae itself, went over to her place for food, xbox, dvds, lepaking, drinks, and rocket bombs! haha. And jessie brought gorgeous cigs back for us! damm... you kick buckets girl ;)
Last but not least, a small tribute to our holy father, the late pope john paul II, for Christ has opened his doors to him. :)
Finally, after 13 weeks of PTP and BMT, finally passed out. Kinda lazy to type on that shit so i'm gonna post a buncha pics of my time doing Commando BMT. Will post POP pictures when my buddy decides to come online and send them to me.

Okay Jessica and Nicole, dont say i never helped you guys check out tioman, here are the info, up to you two ladies to get the people :) well. after spending endless hours (actually about an hour), surfing the net and getting the rates... i finally came up with a couple of suggestions and ideas for our trip.
Disclaimer, all this info are from the internet, and the prices are my rough estimate, it is definately going to cost more then what i quoted, so be prepared, and it WILL happen, to put aside more money if we are going.
Tioman Island
***Getting There***
Basically, the most practical way to getting to Tioman Island, is to get to Mersing in Malaysia first, then take a ferry to tioman.
-Singapore to Mersing-
1) Take a bus from Singapore to Mersing, 6.30am daily Bus from Newton Circus ( Fare Unknowned)
2) Take a cab from JB, rates are 100RM per way, split between 4 passengers is about 25RM per person
3)Take a bus from JB to Mersing, 8RM per person, 8.30am Bus.
-Mersing to Tioman-
1) Speed Ferry 30RM per way 3-4hrs (last ferry at 4pm)
2) Speed Boat 45RM per way under 2 hrs
***Lodging***
well, this is basically a resort that i have found, the Japa Mala Resort
http://www.myoutdoor.com/tiomanisland/cocos.htm - this is a rating of their resort.
http://www.japamalaresorts.com/ - this is their official website.
***Price***
if we were to stay at the Japa Mala resort (Sea View Chalet), they offer two types of prices.
Package Deals = 3d 2n, RM 540 nett per person, includes Daily breakfast + lunch + use of snorkeling + fishing equipment
Non-Package Deals = RM 380 nett per room/night, which well.. includes nothing...
------------------------------------
Basically, assuming that each Chalet holds 2 persons, renting the entire chalet for 2, for 3d 2n would cost 760RM, compared to 1080RM for the package deal for two... we save 320RM, and i seriously doubt 3 days worth of lunch + breakfast (WTF eats breakfast anyway?) is worth the additional 320RM.
so if its 2 per chalet room for 3d2n, each person would roughly fork out.
380RM for lodging
about 150RM for transport (Taxi from JB + Speed Ferry, both ways, [can be cheaper if we take a bus or a normal ferry])
Total 530RM excluding spending (what can we spend there anyways beside food and snorkeling stuff?) when converted to SGD is about, 231 SGD.
so its 230SGD for a 3d2n stay at the Japa Mala resort with transport. if ya look at the website, its a fucking sea view, what say you guys? think of it.
total fucking privacy with only 2 per chalet.
fucking cheap cigerattes and alcohol, and party till we die in one of the sea view chalets and pluge to our deaths in the ocean.
cheap good local fare.
renown beaches and snorkelling (diving if any of u fuckers got a license)
Nature paths + waterfall.
late night parties at our chalet til the locals come to us with parangs.
and as i know most of you won't check out the pictures, i'll post some of the pictures of the Japa Mala Resort.. let me know how okay!
These are the Seaview Chalets that i'm talkin about, with the view to the ocean
This is the angle looking from the Seaview Chalets
The living quarters in the chalet
Single Chalet View
Lepak anyone?
okay thats all, if you guys want more information, let me know...

simple plan, simple minded, simple who?
it seems that i'm not the only one that finds simple plan crap...
below are extracts of posts from a punkrock video request forums, and i'm talking about bands like, the used, greenday, my chem romance, distillers, jimmy eat world, sum 41, etc... and this joker went to request for... Simple Plan's Shut Up Video... and from a simple thread of video requests, it became a 100++ replies flame thread.... enjoy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sarah_emo_br: Hey, make me happy!!! I want so bad download Simple Plan new video 'shut up'
+If I thought it was punk, i might;
+hey dont diss simple plan .. enough its getting fucking old.... they are good guys;
+I'm sure they're really nice.. But they're music is shit.
+whats the video with that guy out of roadtrip? that video made me cry;
+i think you're talking about "I'm Just A Kid" .... dont think too many people will like that song concidering NOONE likes simple plan;
+I would call Simple Plan a whole lot of terrible;
+dude just to tell u, if u think simple plan is punk , ur seriously fucking gay. go up to the punkers and go "ISNT SIMPLE PLAN COOOOL!?!!" and they'll kick ur ass cuase they suck;
+i think people who try to make themselves look like punks (Simple Plan) are gay and need to be raped like a straight man in prison;
+More like a straight man being raped by 4 800 pound raving homosexuals;
yeah and plenty more of this shit, it feels good to know that i'm not alone...

haha, you guys would never believe it... but i actually pulled a muscle on my side this evening doing an extreme sport... well.. i only have one person to blame! haha. me.. on my stupidity.. as always.. whats new man....
its amazing, how fickle i can get, we pretty much well.... took almost a full hour deciding what to have for lunch, can you fucking believe it, and its amazing that my girl did not just jab a pen through my eye for taking that long...
oh well.. but i learnt many things from today, such as....
-Kenny Roger's mashed potatoe has a shrimp-like gravy, which well.. basically sucks balls.
-I remembered why i did not enjoy their corn muffins.
-We found new ways to entertain ourselves.
-One listerine pocket packs is more then enough, two is pushing it. (yes i'm a wuss)
-Everything in Suntec actually closes early.
-The fountain at suntec do not just have their laser shows on weekends. (haha sorry bangladeshy tourists, my bad!)
-the hippo tour buses are gay.
-so are the duck tour buses.
-if you think it sounds stupid saying just "hun" instead of hungry and "toi" instead of toilet, you should hear me at the MRT station.
-some abhesives are only good for about a hundred washes, and they feel fake.
-sometimes, hamster food, may smell so bad and foul, but for some sick reason unknown to modern science, my hamster (hammie) actually does eat that crap.
-my hamster is NOT fat, he is just bigbone.
-I can predict the future, infact, i can predict the future for about the next 2 decades ;)
-My girl, for some unknown reason, even to mordern and ancient science, can sit on a metal bench for close to 5 hours.
- First there are babies, then smokers, finally couples...
-If there was a competition, we would have won a car, maybe even two.
-The only person that could make me return a bloody expensive sony ericsson phone i found on a bench would be my girl.
-Theres only 1 joshua, they decided to name him Gabriel... oh well.
-I found a way/substitute for smoking.
-And its alot healther.
-I can climb a lamppost higher then Spence, but i can also land harder on my ass.
-Foot reflexalogy footpaths for the elderly, are meant for the ELDERLY, for a damm good reason.
-You pay 14 bucks to watch animals scratch themselves in public.
-28 is not 88!
-28 goes to paya lebar. 88 goes to ang mo kio.
-oct 15... fuck it. hah.

yo homies, back from batam, (no not for a fuck fest), for cable-skiing!.
was pretty awesome, 4 boards for me to try on, the food was decent, the drinks are cheap, the cigs are outragiously cheap *hugs Capri*.
Went there with, Jasper, Weilin, Andrew, Spence, Johan, Daniel, Steve and 8 other peeps we dont know.. but what the heck.. we had a great time... although i've learnt some valuable lessons there..
1. Jasper cannot jump far, infect, he looked like an idiot doing the raley off the dock.
2. Do not, i repeat, DO NOT, try and see how far u can get drag on your back.
3. The kickers and ramp look way bigger when you're actually riding up them.
4. Jasper and i, just can't tendum together... we are bound to crash and hurt my head.
5. Have I told you never to get dragged on your back?
oh well, enough said, burnt and aching bodies are a testament to a great day of wakeboarding... so here are the pics.

i've always been idealistic in my approach to life.
needing to daydream...
needing to fantasize...
i need to look at something, figure out a better, more exciting approach to life...
why do people like to pull me back down, dampen the thoughts and ideals i have of the situation.
i can't help but try and find a better alternative to what
shit thats presenting itself to me... even if its a riskier, maybe unrealistic approach...
is that immature of me?
is that denial?
i like to dream.
i like to plan.
i hate to regret.
i hate pragmatism.
i hate to look back, yet i find myself doing that, every single spare moment of my time...
what the fuck...

"The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves.
And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture dosen't work, dont buy it."
"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.
A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle"

what are we going to do today?
what we do everyday.... try to lepak all over the world!
my cough is pretty damm persistant...
i really think i should visit a doctor soon, could probably be some sort of respiratory infection.
well afew days back, JP, jasper, johan and i played a sick version of DaiDee at BK in town...
which includes alotsa chilli and ketchap sauce, and the loser shooting them down like shots...
enough said, you do the math...
Johan ended up puking when he got home, poor kid, and he helped take a shot for me when i lost to a 4 shot dare. haha... respect man..
Oh yeah, suddenly, the incoming national service does not seem that bad to me, i have 3 guys that are going into the commandos with me, Adriel, Bochang & Desheng... so well.. at least we can suffer together... hope we can manage to bunk together or sumthing...
hmm.. well yesterday was pretty much trashed... but it ended pretty allright i guess..
Jasper,Weilin,Spence,Yvette and I were supposed to head over to Sentosa to catch Andrew's wakeboard demo at the Asia Boat Show at Sentosa Cove...
in a nutshell,
what we do everyday.... try to lepak all over the world!

Okay, as of right now, I am pretty much close to the limit for my treshold of my boredom... And as a result of such limitless boredom, i present to you, my blog!, or the real name is actually online weblog, hence the name blog...
I have no idea what the fuck i would really direct to you here, but i hope it would be educational, be it rubbish or true life events... and i really sucked at my command of the english language... so.... daym.. Well, since the 24th of March 2005, i've pretty much been lepaking around, and i am desperately in need of re-employment... i have pretty much stopped playing WoW, cause, in all honesty, the game rocks, but the commitment required does really suck major balls... but oh well, i'll miss eugene, ivan, calvin and shuana.... you guys rock major balls ;).
So... nothing much really happened, been dying to go to Batam cableski with my homies, but Jasper has his papers to finish, so i guess i gotta wait for awhile... probably around the 20th to the 27th... when andrew meads is in singapore and he can join us... then you guys gotta see, some sick sick tricks ripping up the waters at Batam! whoooopy. The golden couple has also decided to join us over at Batam, so it should be alot of fun, the sun, the sea, the goofying around, endless booze and dirt cheap cigerattes... oh yeah... shangri-la, here i come.
Nothing else is really happening, been lepaking around with my homies, JP's birthday was around the corner, so on the saturday before her bdae we decided to celebrate at fullerton hotel's chocolate buffet with my girl yves and spence.... daym, those ladies sure can eat chocolates man... and yves made brownies for everyone to go around too... deliriously sinful, daym... but she's an angel for doing that. Jp's main bdae was on the dae itself, went over to her place for food, xbox, dvds, lepaking, drinks, and rocket bombs! haha. And jessie brought gorgeous cigs back for us! damm... you kick buckets girl ;)
Last but not least, a small tribute to our holy father, the late pope john paul II, for Christ has opened his doors to him. :)
