Jim bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Ken. Ken bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jim. Jim ate 12 sweets and Ken ate 18 chocolates. The ratio of Jim’s sweets to chocolates became 1:7 and the ratio of Ken’s sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Ken buy?

Can you solve this PSLE question using only model approach, just like how the kids are taught?

第六天－雨天

2009-10-10T13:20:00.002+08:00

Me, Neo and Jason met something weird yesterday (or rather, this morning at 4.30am)

We were just walking back to our vehicles when we were stopped by this taxi uncle, who asked us for help. Apparently there was this foreigner who did not want to pay her cab fare, and insisted that she speaks to the taxi driver's boss due to poor service.

We could see how flabbergasted the taxi driver was, and how he wanted to settle this entire saga in a cool manner. But after speaking to the lady (Jason did), it was apparent that she would not budge. The only solution that we 3 could think of was to drive her to the nearest police station, because the taxi driver did not do anything wrong at all. We were quite sure that the lady was actually just trying to do something funny, or that she was drunk. Even after the taxi driver told her to get off the cab and that he would not want her to pay the fare anymore, she still refused.

There was nothing we could do but walk away. The taxi driver apparently didn't want to drive to the police station, because it would mean more trouble and more time wasted. We then stood at our vehicles and watched from afar for about 5 minutes. Finally, the lady came out of the taxi, but somewhat unwillingly. What happened next, we do not understand. The lady seemed to be using her phone to dial someone, and the taxi driver was trying to stop her from doing so, and at the same time not being able to touch her at all for fear that she would use that against him.

But who could she be calling? The police? If she's a foreigner or a tourist, how would she know what number to dial? And moreover, was she really that confident that she would win the case? Everyone's definition of poor service is different, and I do not know what is the definition in the government's view, but I guess it's just totally ridiculous.

Why must she do such a thing to the poor old driver, who is just out to make ends meet? We could really see the face of the taxi driver and pity him that such a thing is happening. Hope that everything is fine for him now.

我觉得我还是用英文比较好 :)

第五天－晴天

2009-10-09T16:23:00.002+08:00

昨天大伙们给了Ah Ben一个surprise生日派对，大家都玩得不亦乐乎。认识了一些新朋友，更深一呈地认识一些不是很熟的朋友，以及见到了一些老朋友。玩到早上六点才舍得回家。

其实我觉得一个生日派对不需要搞太多花招，只要简简单单地约全部朋友出来聊聊天，吃吃饭，对我来说已经是非常棒的一件事了。可能我很简单，但我宁可人到但没礼物，也不要礼物到但人没到。

今天去了我的姨丈的葬礼，突然觉得生命真的很脆弱。明明非常健康的他，为了赶去医院探望他的岳母，就突然倒下，离开人世间了。我现在开始珍惜每一天，希望到我走的那一天时，我不会带着任何的遗憾。

明天要去social house咯！

第一天－阴天

2009-10-05T17:38:00.002+08:00

很久没回到我的部落格了。

我的生活里最近发生了很多事，很难一一的把每件事给说出来。但是如果要summarise的话，只有一句话能够形容：似有似无。

有时候觉得自己的生活很充实，很美满。有几个非常要好的朋友，有一份工钱不是很高但是非常喜欢的工作，有一个我非常爱的女生。

但有时候又觉得生活很乏闷。最近和朋友之间有了些误会和纠纷，我爱的女生对我越来越冷淡，钱也越来越少。

人家说不管怎样，做人最重要是要活得开心。但是，我开心吗？我不知道。

昨天晚上梦到了一些不开心的事，所以今天上课时心情有些不好。我可怜那位被我骂了10分钟的小五学生。

希望明天会更好吧。

我祝她生日快乐，希望从今天起她的每一天是开心的。如果是的话，我就开心了。

On The Road To Recovery

2009-06-22T23:58:00.002+08:00

Today's supposedly my first day of work, and yet I'm on MC for the entire week due to my chicken pox! Haha what a start isn't it? Well, I can only hope that my employers are not angry with me, or that they have a bad impression of me right at the start, otherwise it's gonna be hell for me for the next 2 1/2 years.

I think I can count myself lucky. Why? Because my pox never itched before. I don't know if it's the calamine lotion that I apply, or the medicine that I eat, or that the chicken pox is not fully developed, or I'm just plain lucky. I've come across a few of my friends who complain about the itch and the pain every single day when they have it, and as such I was very worried in the beginning. But even till today, when I can visibly see the pox drying up and slowly disappearing, I've never once felt that they itched. They looked more like huge pimples that suddenly appear all over my face and body.

The only thing that worries me right now is the scars on my face. I've got 4 of them, and I don't know if they'll slowly disappear, or I'll have to buy some scar removal cream. Whatever it is, I MUST NOT BE DISFIGURED! Hahaha!

It's the 8th day now, and I'm very amazed that I'm still surviving this ordeal of being stuck at home, and not being able to step out of the house in case I spread the virus to someone else. Seeing how the German who got the H1N1 virus and yet still went out to Clarke Quay for "recreational" purposes and to a concert the next day before seeking treatment, and how he got flamed after that for being so irresponsible, I've decided against going out while I'm still "infectious" and "spreading the virus". Gotta be a responsible citizen :D

Another 6 more days!!!

Chicken Pox

2009-06-19T00:52:00.002+08:00

As some of you might have already found out, I'm down with chicken pox. At the age of 25 :(

It's so ironic because I told my new employer that I would need one week to settle my things and be ready for work, and yet I'm down with chicken pox at the very start of the week, thus ending any of my plans.

A bad start to my working career. 5 days of medical leave gone. Unclaimable during probation period.

But well, at least I finally got hold of my new laptop. A 15" MacBook Pro. So happy! I still need a portable HDD to transfer all my files from my previous laptop though. But I can't step out of my house yet!

Talking about the chicken pox, many people have told me not to scratch, otherwise I wouldn't look good anymore. But sadly, all the four scars that I have currently, all happen to be on my face. One right at my right eye brow, one at my chin, one on the right cheek, and the last one just below the third one on the cheek. The first two are scarily huge, they look more like infections to me. They look like 2 huge holes, bled so much that the blood all dried up, and now I don't even dare to look at the mirror. I guess that's it, no more pretty boy. Face's gonna be disfigured forever. The funny thing is I didn't scratch them at all. These 2 holes appeared even before the rest of the chicken pox broke out. So how did these 2 holes appear, I do not know.

Besides those scars, I can consider myself lucky because there isn't really a lot of it all over my body, and they don't itch. Not at the moment at least. Only occasional two or three of them itch, but only for awhile. But my friends told me that it itches really bad when it starts to recover, so I'm mentally prepared for that. Good thing I've got a high threshold for itch.

Today is Day 4 of my chicken pox, and I'm already dying of boredom at home. I really need to find something to do. I've cleaned my room, swept my room, packed my table. I guess the next thing that I can do is to pack my wardrobe, which I'll take my own sweet time to do it tomorrow, otherwise I'll end up doing nothing but staring at my computer screen blankly again.

Many of my friends have fallen ill these few days, whether is it a small illness or a major one. So please my friends, please take care of yourselves. Make sure you drink a lot of water. Do not underestimate the power of having lots of water. It performs magic :)

Alright, another 5 minutes of my time wasted. Time to go plan for what to do for the next 23 hours and 55 minutes.

Back

2009-06-09T13:13:00.002+08:00

Been too lazy to update my own blog recently :p

Many things have happened since my last update, the best one being me finishing my exams! And hopefully I'll be able to pass all my modules and get my degree.

All this while I've been wanting to go overseas for a short trip with my friends or classmates after my exams, but unfortunately due to the economic crisis, I was unable to find people to go with me. I've not given up yet though. So please, people who read this article and are able to fork out 7 days of your time to go to Taiwan/Hong Kong with me, please leave a message in my tagboard.

Right now I'm just lazing at home everyday, and looking for a job. So anyone with any job lobangs?! Please tell me!

And if anyone wishes to go out for a simple dinner or movie or something, feel free to call or sms me. I'm free at the moment :) Big group outings are recommended.

A side-note: It's time I learn to start driving slowly. After seeing a friend of mine getting into a serious car accident, it makes me wonder what if I was the one driving and got into such an accident? Will I be as lucky as him, suffering not-so-serious injuries? Or will I not? Luckily he's fine right now and I'm happy for him. Let's just hope that he doesn't get a serious punishment.

Another side-note: Congratulations to Marcus and Wanhua! Really happy to see you two getting happily married, and hope that your love and marriage will last forever! Must keep me informed when you guys start to have kids! Hahahaha

Day 4

2009-05-16T22:07:00.002+08:00

Manchester United. King of England again. Let's hope that they'll be crowned King of Europe again too on the 27th May. Go United!!!

Been reading my old friend's blog and looking at her pictures in her facebook, and am really happy for her that she has found someone that she's very happy with.

Counting to my official graduation from SIM-UOL, provided that everything goes smoothly and I pass every project and paper: 10 more days

Day 3

2009-05-15T15:16:00.001+08:00

Millions was really quiet today, and all I did was sit in there, drink my jug of beer and played my PSP. It was only when my battery went flat that I started to think about all the events that occured recently. Many people saw that I am a very different person from the Sky they know, and asked if I was OK. Thanks for your concern.

Managed to sleep at only 9am, but woke up at 10am. Haven't been sleeping at all ever since Monday night. If this goes on, I'm gonna die man. I'm gonna suffer from my usual lack-of-sleep pimple outbreak :(

All things in life happen for a reason, and in one way or the other, it's going to make me a better person. I'm learning from all these things, and I know what wrongs have I done. It's time I start to learn to look at things from a different perspective whenever I do something.

Song of the day:

Day 2

2009-05-14T13:04:00.002+08:00

Today's paper was fine. Once again, the exam format is totally different from past years. I really wonder if UOL really hates us, or that they think so highly of us that they can come up with something different and expect us to score.

After that, had dinner with a few of my classmates at V8 Cafe at Bugis. Food was not bad, and company was good. Had an hour chat during our dessert session at 记得吃. Lotsa random stuff like what's going to happen to us after we graduate, what are our plans in the future, school teachers in the past, prom nights etc. Was lots of fun.

After a long gaming session at the arcade with Edward, I then went for a drink all alone as the rest of the gang couldn't make it. Was sweet for some people to applaud me when I sang 很想你 and 搞笑. One waitress came over and asked me if I was feeling emo, because she could feel it when she heard the way I sang the songs. This is what I meant by singing with your heart, and people will be able to feel it.

Sadly, developed a fever when I was there, and when I came back home, it blew to 39.4 highest. Currently at 39.0, hope that it will go down soon. Gonna be a long and really boring week. Anyone wishes to go watch Angels & Demons with me?

Song of the day:

Day 1

2009-05-12T21:06:00.005+08:00

Was out for steamboat with No.3 last night at Bugis, and I must say that the service and food was not bad. They even have free flow of BBQ food. After that was a drinking session with the gang.

Yes, I broke down and cry last night. In front of everyone. Twice in fact, and it's all because I heard the song 搞笑 by 罗志祥. Don't ask me why. I'm one who doesn't show such emotions in front of people, whether friends or family. To those who showed concern and asked me if I was fine, thank you for those words of concern.

I always keep my emotions to myself, and yesterday was just the point where it became uncontrollable. Moreover, many unhappy things have happened recently, and to add on to it, my pressure of aiming to get As for my examinations in order to get a first class honours.

Everything just flowed. It's good to let it all out I guess. I'm perfectly fine, and right now I'm trying to concentrate on my examination for tomorrow.

To all holy beings, my dead dad and grandmother, please protect my friends and I from all bad things, and please help us through everything and make sure that everything will turn out fine.

Song of the day:

Explanation And Redemption

2009-05-11T16:56:00.002+08:00

Whatever happened last night, is regrettable. I am wrong to have done such things, and I'm not afraid to admit it and say sorry.

What's going to happen to us from now onwards?

I care a lot about you, and I like you. The whole world knows it. You care too, and I'm glad you do. You had high expectations of me, and yet I did all these, and as such your disappointment's even greater.

Right now I accidentally drew a line between me and you. What I will do, is that I will do what I can to earn back the opportunity to erase this line, and to make sure that this kind of stuff do not happen again. Otherwise, it's going to be un-reversable.

I am still the same Calvin Choy, minus last night. I am still the same guy who cares for your safety, your health, your life, your happiness, your everything. My brother always tell me suffering from setbacks is the way a person improves to become a better person. I will learn from this mistake, and make sure that I do not repeat it again, to become a better person.

Please wait, and don't leave. That's all I ask for.

Jackie Chan Slams Singaporeans

2009-04-25T12:47:00.001+08:00

However great an actor he is, do you guys think that it's right for him to say such things? I think many people will not respect him anymore.

Taken from Straits Times:

SINGAPOREANS have no self respect, action movie star Jackie Chan told an audience of businessmen.

He said this in the same speech at the annual Boao Forum in Hainan last Saturday, at which he said Chinese people need to be 'controlled'.

In that address, he reportedly said of Singapore: 'A lot of people are not like those in USA and Japan who voluntarily have self-respect. When you don't have self-respect, the government will have to control you.

'In Singapore, you have to abide by Singapore's regulations. In China,you can litter, In Singapore, try littering and you will be jailed immediately.' Shin Min Daily news had earlier this week published a transcript of his 'freedom speech' which touched on the issued of liberty in China.

The 55-year-old sparked an uproar after he told a business forum last Saturday that 'we Chinese need to be controlled', lamenting that freedom had made Hong Kong and Taiwan societies chaotic. 'I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not,' said Chan, who added: 'If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want.'

The backlash against Chan has escalated even after his spokesman claimed that he was referring to freedom in the entertainment industry and not Chinese society as a whole.

In China, a prominent Beijing academic is leading a group of locals calling for a boycott of Chan's 'Believe in China' charity concert on May 1, which will be the first music event held at the iconic Bird's Nest stadium.

In that speech, he also lashed out at Singaporeans' lack of social graces, The New Paper reported on Saturday. 'Sometimes, I wonder why I can't eat chewing gum in Singapore. Then, I think it's actually right not to eat chewing gum," he was reported as having said.

''If I let you eat chewing gum, those people will leave them on tables and chairs. They have no self-respect at all.' His comments have drawn a backlash from much of the Internet community here.

'What's up with him lately? Before he criticised our local female artistes for not working hard enough. Now this? I have suddenly lost respect for him,' said Gabriel_23 on the HardwareZone forum.

怪怪的

2009-04-22T01:33:00.003+08:00

今天一整天觉得怪怪的，但是不知道为了什么。

从10点起身到现在，完全没有心情做任何的东西。

可能因为我心里一直想着她，担心她。她有严重的失眠的问题，就连吃了安眠药也不能入睡。最后一次听到她说她有睡是上个星期五晚上。可能是我多心吧，但是我真的好希望我能够抱紧她，轻轻的抚摸她的头，让她舒舒服服的入睡。不要误会，我没有任何歪念头。

可惜我不可以。

还好她看不懂华语。

希望明天会更好，要不然我的FYP就不用指望做得完。

What A Week!!!

2009-04-19T14:33:00.003+08:00

Had a crazy 7 days, where I suddenly have a "little family", consisting of Neo The Dreamer, Faith The Facebook-er, and Silver The Sleeper.

Neo, 1.78m, 65kg. 32A-3230-32. 26, the eldest in the family. Always dreaming, not listening to what people say, and end up pissing people off, or replying random answers.

Faith, 1.64m, ??kg, 32F-26-32. 21, the youngest in the family. Always facebook-ing, as she has nothing else to do. Will be starting school next Monday @ NP.

Silver, 1.68m, ??kg, 34C-26-34. 24, the 2nd youngest in the family. Always sleeping, as she has some sleeping disorder. Is the most matured in the family despite her age. Very bad with her road directions.

Sunday 12th April 2009
I forgot how we met up, but I can only remember that we ended up at Boat Quay, QB. Drank Silver's balance, before we had the crazy idea of going to my house to study. At 4am nonetheless! This started the "little family" study group, except for Faith of course.

Monday 13th April 2009
Was supposed to go to SMU from 2-6pm for studying, but we ended up at Lot 1 watching Fast & Furious 4. This just speaks volume of our determination to study LOL. Everyone then went their separate ways, and I actually received Silver's message at 4am. Hahaha she actually believed that we were gonna meet up at 2am, and thus the SMS, which woke me up from my sleep!!!!!

Tuesday 14th April 2009
Again, I don't remember how we met up, but I only know that we ended up at my house studying again. Everyone just went about doing their things, but somehow I do remember how someone broke an egg in my kitchen, and how they ended up finishing so many packets of Tom Yam maggie that they almost left none for me and my uncle. Oh, and why is Chelsea the one who got into the semi-finals of the Champions League!!! 4-4!! Poor Liverpool. I hope Chelsea do get thrashed by Barcelona though =)

Wednesday 15th April 2009
Had dinner at Thomson, where Faith and Silver got lost (as usual). Watched Ronaldo score 1 of the goals of the season as they won 1-0 at Porto to move into the semi-finals of the Champions League. Woohoo!!! I forgot what other funny things happened, except that Silver and I had a 45 minute chat starting from the start of the 2nd half of the match. Oh, wait! I don't understand why Silver is so afraid of my uncle though, who is so friendly as to help me get a mattress and a huge blanket for my friends :)

Thursday 16th April 2009
Tonight was a night of rest. Had dinner at TPY with Jake and friends, before we went out to Boat Quay again for a short drinking session. Silver was sick, and ended up playing 5-10 with Ah Don, with the forfeit as plain water! Went to Neo's house just to rest.

Friday 17th April 2009
I was supposed to wake up at 7am, and go to school from 8.30am to 3.30pm. Somehow, chatted with Silver, and ended up oversleeping. Great! Finally, had steamboat dinner! Woohoo! My favourite food =D Then had to travel back to TPY to take Silver's HP, and then back to SMU to study till 2am, before heading back to my house (YES. AGAIN).

Saturday 18th April 2009
The last paper for Neo, which marks the end of his first year in SMU. Sent Faith home in the afternoon for some kind of ceremony which she had no idea what it was, and then went for lunch with Silver. Got spotted by someone who doesn't know whether am I a girl or a guy :\ Came back with Silver to play with my cousin for awhile, before sending her home, and going for concert with No.3! Woohoo! 萧敬腾 really is the man! His live is just so damn good. Will post videos and pictures in the future.

Kinda sad that the "little family" study sessions are ending, as Neo has finished his exams, and Silver is going to finish hers tomorrow. Mine hasn't even started though. Sigh.

Feels really great to be studying with friends. At least they give you some sort of motivation and push to make you study, rather than staying at home alone and getting distracted by TV and stuff like that.

It's only one day, but I miss my "little family" =(

Another 罗志祥 song I'm learning to sing recently.

The lyrics are just .. fantastic

一直是我陪你去躲回憶裡的雨
妳無心的嘆息
有心碎的聲音
他的好他的壞他的不安定
他的故事是我和你
愛情裡的烏雲

從我愛上愛他的你那個瞬間起
一直是雨天
你只愛雨天我用傘保護你
親吻著你苦澀味道的微笑
閉著眼睛我明白你
想念他的秘密

我一直在第二順位愛著你
一直從雨天
一直到陰天
一直到晴天你逃離過去

我一直在第二順位等著你
一直從昨天
一直到今天
一直到永遠我相信是我最愛你

聆聽你說抱歉多過你說我愛你
你困在雨裡
我困在雨裡我的傘濕淋淋
『沒關係』是我最常說的一句
就讓我等就算我冷
至少我陪著你

再见小雪

2009-03-31T14:05:00.001+08:00

Ｉ know, it's a show that was shown 2 years ago. I still remember watching the trailer with my ex-gf, and I told her that we mustn't watch it, or else she'd be crying and crying throughout the movie.

I watched it 2 hours ago on SCV, and I myself cried like crap too. If you're a dog lover, you watch this movie and you don't shed a tear, then it's either your heart's made of the toughest stone in the world, or you're not a dog lover at all.

Sometimes, it's good to cry all out once in a while. Some sort of a release of all the bottled up emotions that you keep all these while.

Now, I don't mind watching this show again. But of course, I'd prefer to watch it alone. I don't like to shed tears in front of people, unless it's those who are really really close to me.

If you guys wanna cry all out, watch this movie.

Banana Test

2009-03-30T18:14:00.002+08:00

There is a very, very tall coconut tree and 4 animals, Lion, Giraffe, Squirrel and Chimpanzee passed by the tree.

They then decided to compete against each other and see who will be the fastest in getting a banana off the tree.

Who do you think will win?

Your answer will reflect your personality.

Think about it, and then write your answer in my tagboard. I'll give the answer in the next post.

Hmm

2009-03-30T05:11:00.002+08:00

Happened to read a few of my friends' blogs and they all happen to talk about the same thing.

A philosophy that I quite rightly agree.

One needs to go through screwed up relationships to be able to appreciate the little things that the current one does, which didn't exist previously.

My ex-gf posted it on her blog too, but sadly I'm at the wrong end of it.

I was the screwed up one.

Lol, but of course I don't deny it. The 4 years that we were together, we lacked communication and understanding. Somehow I just couldn't improve and achieve what was needed.

Hopefully, I remember all these things, and make sure it doesn't happen in my next relationship.

I must always remember, key words: Trust. Communication.

三位蔡先生

2009-03-23T01:03:00.004+08:00

今天忽然间收到蔡先生的来电，约我去喝酒。可惜他得早走，所以没有去找他。
很久没有看到他了，所以有点可惜。
还真像知道他最近怎样了。

我们三位姓蔡的还真的是难兄难弟啊。
在一样的地方，遇见了三个令我们爱得死去活来的女人。
其中一位，已经算得上是尝试放弃，然后开始找别的了。
另外一个，太久没看到他了，所以不知道。
不过如果还像当时的活，那他也好不到哪去。

至于我呢，我还在深深地爱着同样一个人。
半年了。很多时候想要放弃，别想她，只顾好自己的学业。
可惜，做不到。
不管我做什么，不管我怎么尝试，我还是会以她为主。
只要她找我，我就会放下一切，放弃睡觉的时间，放弃做功课的时间，就为了看她一眼，和她相处那一小段时间。

虽然我知道我和她可能根本就没有机会，因为她觉得我们两性格不合，但是我不知道我在坚持什么。
我只知道永远都有很多男的想要追她，然后我永远都没机会和他们比。

虽然很想拥有她，但是我知道是不可能的。
所以现在我只能希望不管是哪个男的，一定要给她幸福。
如果让她伤心难过的话，我是不会放过他的。

只要她开心，我就满足了。
只可惜她不给我机会，让我来尝试给她幸福。

我们这三位蔡先生，怎么爱情路那么坎坷啊～

咳，我现在好想她哦。。。

超爱这两首歌

Was walking home from the MRT station earlier, and saw a lady walking home just behind me. After walking past Castle Green, which is the condo just before mine, I noticed that she was still behind me, which indicates that she's probably staying at the same condo as I am, or the one further down.

The funny thing happened.

I turned left into the condo, and stayed at the entrance there, hoping to catch a glimpse of the girl, hoping that she's a hot babe who will stay in the same block as I do.

But she just disappeared. There was no one. The only possibility is that she's waiting at the bus stop. But I checked out the bus stop, and there was no one there. I asked the security if they saw a girl walking past, but they said they didn't see any.

Freaked out.

Who is the girl? Earlier on, I didn't manage to catch a glimpse of how she looked like, but she was walking very near behind me, maybe about say 10 steps away. So how could she just disappear into thin air when I heard her stepping on the drain right before I turned into my condo?

*Shivers*

Totally on a different topic as the previous one, saw this clip sent by my classmate. Bloody brilliant. Heard that this clip was shown at some award show, and it got 2nd with the entire room standing up and applauding the video.

Great Weekend

2009-03-09T03:57:00.003+08:00

Had a great weekend. Didn't spend much money, stayed at home and did simple things like cook and eat, watch TV, do some work, swim.

But it was fun, and felt better than going out till the wee hours in the morning and spending lots of money.

Of course, doing such things every weekend is crazy.

Maybe we should strike a balance. This weekend rest, next weekend play. Alternating this way, we can not only relax our minds and have fun, at the same time we can do some overdue work.

Isn't that nice?

Of course, the company is of utmost importance too.

=D

Funny

2009-03-04T14:24:00.003+08:00

Haha got this from Silver

One driving learner was having a driving test.
He saw the LEFT sign on the road.
He wanted to confirn with the tester.
He asked :"Turn left？"

The tester said "Right !"

He turned to the right immediately, and failed his test.

.
.
.

A man learned a bit english.
He accidentally hit a foreigner on the road.
The man said: I am sorry..
The foreigner said： I am sorry too.
Then the man said：I am sorry three!
The foreigner didn't understand and asked： What are you sorry for?

The man said：I am sorry five.

.
.
.

A man needed to fill up a form in english.
There was one column needed to fill up the "sex"

The man took a long time to think what to write.
Finally, he wrote: Once a week
The officer was laughing and told him to write male or female.
The man then wrote "Female".
The officer didn't understand and asked" Shouldn't it be male?"
The man answered "I am a normal man, so I have sex with female"

.
.
.

A lady went into a high class fashion shop .
She wanted to buy a blouse but she was not sure that's for man or lady.

A male staff approached her and wanted to help her.
He answered her "Unisex "

The lady was embarrassed. She though the man said "You Need Sex"

The male staff wanted to repeat again and said clearly "U - N - I - Sex"
This time the lady was very angry and complained to the manager as what
she heard was" You And I Need Sex"

Teaching

2009-02-23T16:08:00.002+08:00

I'm back to teaching Macromedia Flash in Broadrick Secondary. The students there are somewhat similar to my students in CCKSS: talkative, but willing to listen and learn at times.

I sometimes wonder that if I do not get a good job once I graduate, I'll probably pursue my Masters and become an IT teacher in some university or polytechnic.

The reason why I would choose teaching (if I can't get a good IT job) is because my uncle once told me that it doesn't matter how much money you earn from your job, but what matters is that you love what you are doing and that you are happy doing it. If you choose something that you don't like, but pays you a bit more, you will not be happy at all.

So would you choose a job that pays you more, but you're not happy doing it? Or would you choose a job that pays you less, but you love it?

Happy

2009-02-15T14:50:00.003+08:00

I'm a happy man today.

Don't know why.

Must be because of something I heard yesterday. But it's funny, because she told me that she will forget what she said the next day, because she said it while she wasn't really that sober. Hahaha.

I want to graduate and get a job to support myself and others like NOW! Argh!

Anyway darling, thank you for trying.

=)

Valentine Day

2009-02-14T13:01:00.004+08:00

It's really nothing except a day for guys to buy gifts for the girl, especially if he hasn't done that for the past 364 days.

My dream was to spend Valentine's Day at home with the girl I love, cooking a simple meal together, and after that maybe a movie or something. That's about it. I think it's even sweeter than buying her a bunch of roses that is ridiculously overpriced, and to bring her out for dinner that is also overpriced.

Having said that, I did buy a bouquet of roses. That's why, referring to my previous post, I'm stupid. But well, she's worth it. At least to me.

I hate myself.

Happy Valentine's Day to all out there who even reads my blog.

And for those who are Valentine-less, 愿有情人终成眷属. Hope you'll find your valentine soon.

Stupid

2009-02-14T02:07:00.002+08:00

I find myself really stupid at times.

There, in my car boot, lies a bunch of red roses. But I don't know if I should give it to her as a valentine day's gift. She's not precisely in the mood to celebrate it at all, and that she already said that I can't be her valentine.

Shall leave it there then.

Dropping of eyelashes

2009-02-13T16:29:00.002+08:00

If I remember correctly, a myth exists saying that if your eyelashes drop, it means that someone is thinking about you.

Is that really true?

Because I just noticed that I have 5 eyelashes on the table, whether from left or right eye I don't know. And another 3 dropped after I rubbed my left eye.

Who is thinking about me?

Tired

2009-02-12T00:40:00.003+08:00

OMG it's been such a long time since I last spent so much time in front of my laptop rushing my assignments. Think I better start completing all my school work really soon.

Damn tired.. cause someone couldn't sleep last night, due to her being too excited about her new job and her new life. She called me at 4am! Luckily I still remember what I mumbled for that 50 minutes and 31 seconds that we were on the phone.

I'm very happy for her that things are picking up for her, and that her life is changing for the better.

Time to finish rushing my assignment! Gotta go fetch her to work tomorrow in the morning. Hope I don't oversleep haha

Edit: When you start to have the cannot-type-properly syndrome, it means that it's time for you to go to sleep. Beware of this, becauz it is vei contagos. O no, I caugt it too. Tyem to sleee

To All ...

2009-02-07T11:13:00.005+08:00

To my friends who are ... SINGLE:
Love is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you. But if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it. Love can make you happy, but often it hurts. But love's only special when you give it to someone who is really worth it. So, take your time and choose the best.

給我單身朋友們:
愛就像一隻蝴蝶。越要追牠，卻越要逃避。
如果就隨牠自由的飛，牠會在你最不注意時飛向你。
愛使人快樂，卻常傷害人。但只有在你把愛給了一個真正值得付出的人時，是最珍貴的。
所以，花點時間去選擇最好的他/她吧。

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To my friends who are ... NOT SO SINGLE:
Love cannot make you someone else's "perfect person", but it can help you find someone who helps you become the best person you can be.

給我那不是單身的朋友們:
愛不能使他/她成為一個'完美的人'
它卻可以使你找到一個幫你成長的他/她

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To my friends who are ... THE PLAYBOY/PLAY GIRL:
Never say "I love you" if you don't care. Never talk about feelings if they aren't there. Never enter a life if you mean to break a heart. Never look in the eye when all you do is lie. The cruelest thing a guy can do to a girl is to let her fall in love when he doesn't intend to catch her fall, vice versa.

給我玩世不恭的朋友們:
如果你不在乎，不要說'我愛你'。如果他們不在時，不要討論自已的感受。
不要涉足會使他人心碎的生活。
說謊時，不要看著眼睛。
最殘忍的事莫過於男人讓女人愛他，卻是逢場作戲。反之亦然…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To my friends who are ... MARRIED:
Love isn't about "it's your fault", but "I'm sorry". Not "where you are", but "I'm right here". Not "how could you", but "I understand". Not "I wish you were", but "I'm thankful you are".

給我已婚的朋友們:
不要老是說'這是你的錯'，何不說說'對不起'。
不要老是問'你去哪裡了'，何不說說'我就在這兒等著你'。
不要老是問'你怎麼會這麼作？'，何不說說'我了解你'。
不要老是說'我希望你這麼做'，何不說說'我感謝你的一切'。

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To my friends who are ... ENGAGED:
The true measure of compatibility is not the number of years spent together, but rather how good you are for each other.

給我那已訂婚的朋友們:
要真正衡量包容心，不是看在一起幾年了，而是要看彼此的敬愛。

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To my friends who are ... HEARTBROKEN:
Heartbreaks last as long as you want and cut as deep as you allow them to. The challenge is not on how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them.

給我心碎的朋友們:
心碎的時間和傷害的深度，完全取決於你自已。
難的是，如何從中學習，而不是從傷痛中爬起。

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To my friends who are ... NAIVE:
How to be in love: Fall but don't stumble; be consistent but not too persistent; share and never be unfair; understand and try not to demand; get hurt but never keep the pain.

給我所有天真的朋友們:
要如何戀愛？--就愛吧。不要欲言又止；要互相協調，不要太固執；
要分享，且千萬不要有不公平；要了解，別命令；
受傷後不要再記恨。

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To my friends who are ... POSSESSIVE:
It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy with someone else but it's more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy with you.

給我積極的朋友們:
看到你所愛的他/她和其他人很快樂使你心碎
但知道你所愛的他/她是和你在一起不快樂，令人更加的傷心。

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To my friends who are ... AFRAID TO CONFESS:
Love hurts when you break up with somebody. It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you. But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how you feel.

給我害怕去承認的朋友們:
當你和他/她分手時，愛受到傷害
當他/她和你分手時，更是傷痛
但傷害最深的是你所愛的他/她完全無法了解你的感受

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To my friends who are ... STILL HOLDING ON:
A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall in love, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it. If he/she isn't worth it now he/she's not going to be worthy be it a year from now or 10 years down the road. Let go...

給我那還在等待的朋友們:
人生最傷心的事，是你和他/她愛情長跑了多年，最後的結局卻不如所望。
'如果他/她現在讓你覺得不值得付出，那麼一年，甚至十年後，都不會值得付出的。
讓他/她走吧

So which category do you belong to?

Happy New Year!

2009-01-26T12:03:00.002+08:00

Happy 牛 year to everyone!

This CNY didn't start very well for me, so I'm hoping that it'll change in the next few hours, or the next few days, and hope that it'll be the same for her.

Loving you.

心声

2009-01-19T12:53:00.003+08:00

From the first day I knew you, I've liked you and subsequently, after knowing you more, fallen in love with you. Yes, in the past there was a period of time where I wanted to woo you so that you will be my girlfriend eventually.

But now, things have changed. Right now, all the things that I do are just for one purpose, and that is for you to be happy. And I mean happy from the bottom of your heart, not just the surface. I've been a clown for too long just to make people happy, and it made me look stupid, childish, irresponsible. I'm changing now, to become a man. One that is capable of taking care of you and making the important decisions (not where to eat, where to shop etc.) when needed.

Right now, the things that you're going through, it's terrible. You're choosing not to tell me anything, and I accept that. But it's because of this, I can't do anything at all except to be there when you need someone. Give me the chance to care for you, love you, protect you, and take care of you. It really hurts me so much to see you in such a state.

Many people might think that I'm just bullshit-ting, and that I'm doing whatever I'm doing just to get you to be my girlfriend. But right here, I'm announcing to the world that it's all wrong. 我敢发誓. Even if in the days to come, you get to know someone else, and you start to believe and fall in love again, and become the Audrey that I used to know, it's enough for me.

Am I stupid? Maybe.

Is it worth it? Definitely.

Happenings

2009-01-17T17:14:00.003+08:00

A lot of things have been happening around my life recently, and it ain't good. Thankfully, I found a song that happens to describe everything that I want to say.

Backstreet Boys - I'll Never Break Your Heart
Baby I know your hurting
Right now you feel like you could never love again
Now all I ask is for a chance
To prove that I love you

From the first day
That I saw your smiling face
Honey, I knew that we would be together forever
Ooh when I asked you out
You said no but I found out
Darling that you'd been hurt
You felt that you'd never love again

I deserve a try honey just once
Give me a chance and I'll prove this all wrong
You walked in you were so quick to judge
But honey he's nothing like me

I'll never break your heart
I'lll never make you cry
I'd rather die than live without you
I'll give you all of me
Honey that's no lie

As time goes by you will get to know me
A little more better
Girl that's the way love goes

And I know you're afraid
To let your feelings show
And I understand
But girl it's time to let go

I deserve a try honey just once
Give me a chance and I'll prove this all wrong
You walked in you were so quick to judge
But honey he's nothing like me
Darling why can't you see

No way, no how
I'll make you cry

It hurts to see you like this, and yet there's nothing I can do except to be by your side when you need someone to talk to, or a shoulder to cry on. Be strong. You have many friends supporting you. And me.

Sexy?

2009-01-14T04:40:00.000+08:00

Get Your Sexy Name

Tired

2009-01-10T09:37:00.003+08:00

Been catching up on my sleep debts. I mean, who sleeps only 1 hour in 80 hours?

Late nights are taking a toll on me. Pimple outbreaks man! OMG! I look ugly!

Start of a new year = Time to chiong in my studies. I find that I don't have much time left in doing my projects and stuff. But things are starting to look brighter, after being in doubts over whether is my project feasible and useful. Apparently many secondary school teachers need a system like the one I proposed in my final year project. Now it's time to develop it.

And yes, I'm serious people. I AM STUDYING! Who says I don't need to study?

我会做一个永远在你身边的男人，无论任何风风雨雨。

Taking A Look Back At 2008

2008-12-29T16:35:00.002+08:00

2 more days before the end of 2008, and I guess it's time that I take a look back and see what has happened for the past 363 days.

January 15th, 2008
The death of my grandmother. Till now, it still affects me greatly. I still miss her alot. She has been taking care of me and protecting me ever since I was a toddler, and yet there was nothing I could do when she suddenly fell into a coma on 15th November 2007, and did not wake up ever since. 奶奶，我爱你.

March 2008
The purchase of our family's 1st car. Was meant to buy it so that I could fetch my grandmother around, but sadly it was too late.

April 4th, 2008
The day my girlfriend of 4 years broke up with me. It hurts, and it still does. But I'm happy for her right now, that she has moved on and is now very happy with another guy. I wish u 2 all the best =)

September 2008
The day I got my results has got to be the best day for me this year. Getting straight As for my year 2 was unexpected, especially when the breakup with my ex-girlfriend came when I was preparing for my exams. I totally did not study for the exams, and I was super lucky. Probably my grandmother was behind all these haha.

September is also the month where I got to know my current clique: Audrey, Huibin, Pamela, Jason, Eve, Faith, Vincent, Jeremy, Tiffany, No.3, and so many more. I love you guys, really.

My wish for 2009:
- To be able to complete my studies smoothly, and get a 1st class honours in the process.
- That our clique can still stay together for many years.

Early Goodbye, 2008.
Early Hello, 2009.

Merry Xmas!

2008-12-23T14:02:00.004+08:00

Been busy the past week for the Christmas performance at Singapore Arts Museum. Was fun! Of course, there's always room for improvement. Good job, guys!

Early Merry Christmas to all!

My wishlist:
- Friends and family to be happy and healthy!
- Get good grades for my final year
- A new pair of shoes
- A new bag
- Love
- World peace

=D

O.S: Ba la ba la ba la ba la ba la .. I'm surviving :)

A new music game from Japan. Very addictive!

Then again, is it because of the game itself that's why I'm addicted to it? Or is it that I'm just trying to find something to distract me from everything that's going on right now?

Whatever it is, try the game!

被愛是幸福愛人是痛苦

2008-12-07T13:11:00.004+08:00

你太美愛你要先學會心碎
我害怕沒有你　日子失去光輝
專心的愛一個人對不對
愛情的崎嶇讓人覺得好累

你愛過誰　為誰流過淚
為他說過但從未實現的諾言
有沒有後悔　想不想說抱歉
如果有機會願不願重來一回

被愛是幸福　愛人是痛苦
我連在你面前想哭　都不會
被愛是幸福　愛人是痛苦
我已經選擇愛你這條路

你愛過誰　為誰流過淚
為他說過但從未實現的諾言
有沒有後悔　想不想說抱歉
如果有機會願不願重來一回

被愛是幸福　愛人是痛苦
我連在你面前想哭　都不會
被愛是幸福　愛人是痛苦
我已經選擇愛你這條路

被愛是幸福　愛人是痛苦
我連在你面前想哭　都沒有淚
被愛是幸福　愛人是痛苦
我已經選擇愛你只付出

Letting It All Out

2008-12-05T11:33:00.010+08:00

I'm really happy for you, that you have finally found someone that you truly love and vice versa. But at the same time, 我的心好酸，好痛. Now, I'm gonna be like the male lead actor in “我的野蛮女友”.

- Do not drive too fast. She will hyperventilate.
- If she does, stop by the road shoulder, open all windows, and let her breathe slowly before driving off again.
- She loves cockles, brocolli, the steamboat at Golden Mile Tower, the japanese food at Cuppage, the duck noodles near her place, the Sakae Teppanyaki outlet at Cineleisure (with Will as the chef), belachan chilli, seaweed as it is, cheese, instant noodles with lots of Marmite, red roses, her dogs.
- She doesn't like sour stuff, green chilli, seaweed in soup, any type of chocolate, speeding.
- She wants a red Nintendo DS lite. Buy one for her. I gave away the one I bought for her.
- If she's in a bad mood and she hang up on you, don't get angry. She'll be fine after it's settled.
- Do not talk about the incident the next day onwards.
- If you buy Macdonalds for her, make sure you have tomato sauce and mayonnaise. Upsize the fries.
- She doesn't really drink soft drinks, except for Coke. Even that, she doesn't drink it all the time.
- She likes green tea. From either Heaven & Earth or Pokka.
- Do not stop her from drinking when she's high.
- When she's drunk, make sure she drinks water before she goes to sleep, and drinks water when she wakes up.
- If she doesn't, force her to. She doesn't have a habit of drinking water. Make sure she does from now onwards.
- Do that after she smokes 2 sticks of cigarettes when she wakes up.
- She smokes Viceroy Menthol. Don't buy light.
- Do not try to wake her up from her sleep.
- If you really need to, you will get scolded.
- But don't worry, she won't remember a thing.
- If she's cold, hug her.
- Sing for her. She likes it.
- Tell her that she's pretty everyday.
- Help her choose her clothes and her shoes when she's changing.
- Go learn bedtime stories. She likes it.

I'm going to miss all that we had.

I still love you.

I guess it's time for me to learn how to let go.

But I really don't want to.

Damn.

I Feel Stupid

2008-12-03T22:53:00.001+08:00

Got an SMS saying that I've got 2 unheard voice messages.

Listened to it, and one of it was from Minhui 老师, asking me to call her back at her HP.

I called, and she didn't answer.

5 minutes later, she called back.

老师: Hello Sky, 你找我啊？

我： Huh? 不是你打给我，然后留了voicemail meh?

老师：哇，那是很久以前了喔.

我： Ooops 哈哈哈哈 Ok. Bye Bye

I feel stupid.

累了

2008-12-03T02:07:00.002+08:00

真的累了

睡觉咯！！！！！

P.S.　对不起，我知道。这个post很无聊。哈哈

I Hate

2008-12-02T13:28:00.002+08:00

I hate staying at my grandma's house. Big time.

All my things get misplaced as the maid packs the room every single day, and I hate people to mess with my things. Now my entire stack of notes got lost, and even she herself doesn't know where she kept it. Fuck.

Russell Peters

2008-12-01T17:29:00.000+08:00

You can never get sick of his jokes. I love this guy man.

老了

24岁了

真的老了

You Asked Me

2008-11-21T13:23:00.003+08:00

You once asked me why do I love you.

I love the way you talk.
I love the way you smile and laugh.
I love the way you play your PSP and scold vulgarities at the monsters.
I love the way you call me and tell me you're stuck, in a game. =D
I love the way you sing.
I love the way you 撒娇.
I love the way you ask me not to drive too fast in the car (except the pinching =p).
I love the way you call me Darling.
I love the way you eat.
I love the way you hold my hand.
I love the way you get drunk and mumble nonsense. =p
I love the way you kiss me.
I love your hair.
I love your lips.
I love your smell.
I love your character.
I love your personality.
I love the way you look.

So basically, with 1% of the reasons why I love you listed above, there's just one conclusion:

I love everything about you, Audrey Wee.

How I Wish ...

2008-11-20T07:31:00.005+08:00

That I could be the one taking care of you whenever you are in need ...
That I could be the first person you see when you wake up ...
That I could be the first person you think of if you do not see me in the morning when you wake up ...

I love you more than anyone else in this world do.

I Want A Mic Like This

2008-11-18T13:14:00.001+08:00

Someone buy me this mic please? Please??

To Those Who Wants To Make Me Drunk On My Bday

2008-11-17T12:01:00.001+08:00

Too bad.

Due to financial constraints, I will not be celebrating my birthday anymore.

P.S. No. 3, thanks for your early gift. I love the wallet you gave me =)

Madagascar 2

2008-11-14T01:12:00.002+08:00

This has got to be the best movie this year. It's so damn hilarious, and at the same time touching.

P.S. For those who haven't watch the movie, please refrain from reading this post, as it will contain lots and lots of spoilers.

Hilarious:
- The part where the penguin captain announcned, "Gentlemen, I have good news and bad news. Good news, we're landing. Bad news, we're crash landing."
- The part where Alex danced infront of the New Yorkers to make them drop their weapons, and Alex's father joined in the dance. Synchronized ballet =)
- The hat that Alex had to wear

Touching:
The one part that was the most touching was where Melman confessed to Gloria.

Suddenly, I thought of something weird. What happens if an Ah Beng confessed to an Ah Lian the way Melman did to Gloria?

"Oei, Ah Lian, you know ah, last time limbeh sick and sick, machiam like going to die ah, you know how limbeh survive or not? Not because of the medicine I eat you know! Also not because I go and see doctor hor. You know why or not? It's because of you hor! Limbeh because think of you all the time ah, then can lun until now lor! If not, long time ago limbeh die liao ah!"

...

So un-romantic.

Scared The Shit Out Of Me

2008-11-13T05:57:00.003+08:00

Got caught earlier at a road block near the speed camera after Lentor Avenue. Had to follow the TP back to the TP HQ at Ubi, and have another test with the breathalyser.

At the TP HQ, one young malay chap was in charged of getting my ID verified. He was telling me, "Bro what time did you drink man?" I then told him that I drank about 2 hours ago. He then advised me, "Bro, next time, if you want to drink and drive, wait for at least 5 hours after your last glass before you drive off. If not, surely fail one." Of course, this conversation was held without no one around within a 50m radius.

In case you guys don't know, the passing mark for the breathalyser test is 35ug/100ml. If you get 36 and above, you are considered a failure, and you will have to ask your family members to come and bail you out, and at the same time wait for a date to go to court for your sentence. If you get 35 and below, you pass and you are able to leave immediately.

Luckily for me, I got 32ug/100ml, barely passing the test. Back into the holding room, when I was about to leave, all of them told me to be careful, and that I will not be so lucky the next time round, and that they knew that I drank more than what I stated in the statement, but they won't pursue further because I passed.

Darling, don't be sorry. It's just my luck. You could never have predicted that there will be a road block on the way too. Don't need to feel sorry ok? =)

Misunderstood

2008-11-11T05:07:00.001+08:00

That's all I can say.

It's not what you thought I meant.

Poster Boy

2008-11-09T13:30:00.002+08:00

Feels weird to see myself as the "poster boy" of a program on a website.

Do I look like myself in the picture?

P.S. This picture was taken quite awhile ago, when I had my hair =( Bloody reservist

School

2008-11-05T15:21:00.002+08:00

After missing school for 3 weeks, I'm finally back! So many of my classmates and my lecturer are saying that it's been a long time since they last saw me. My lecturer even wondered if I was in the correct class! Geez.

Suddenly, I wonder to myself. Am I capable of achieving what I want? Am I able to catch up after missing so many lessons?

I certainly hope so.

For now, life's just fine.

Meal @ Jack's Place

2008-11-03T15:18:00.003+08:00

Went for lunch-cum-dinner yesterday at Jack's Place @ Marina Square with Darling, and I must say it's good!

Except for the service though.

Seriously, they are short handed. Either that, or their staff are just lazy and doing nothing but watch the chef cook in the kitchen.

Meals with Darling recently have been sweet and fun, accompanied with lots of laughter and smiles. I love such feelings =)

That's why I love her =D

Oh, and please go to this link http://apps.facebook.com/virtualcity/587278315/default.aspx, and help me by adding citizens to my city. Daily :)

Do Not ..

2008-11-02T11:56:00.002+08:00

Do not ever stay at an elderly estate, example Whampoa.

The elderly people all wake up really early, and as they have hearing difficulties, they speak to each other as though they're shouting. And it makes things worse that my Ah Ma's house is on the 4th storey, and there is a playground just right outside my window, and kids LOVE to scream.

Therefore, from 8am onwards, the noise level increases gradually, and it reaches maximum level at 10am or 11am, especially on a Sunday.

I need sleep.

Dead

2008-11-01T06:25:00.003+08:00

I got bitten by a 300-year-old vampire tonight.

I'm dead meat for sure.

Someone ...

Save me ...

Birthday Wishlist

2008-10-31T13:33:00.002+08:00

Dear whoever-it-may-concern, I wish for ...

1. A new wallet
2. A new bag from Zinc (Huibin knows which one)
3. A new pair of shoes

OMG, my wishes are soooo simple and pure. Haha.

Sadly, the last one that I'm hoping for, no one can ever give me that.

4. Love. From someone.

This birthday sucks.

Hate + 原谅我

2008-10-27T15:32:00.004+08:00

I hate having fever. The body aches are killing me.

Update: This is crazy. I ate 2 panadols, I vomitted them out within 2 minutes, and yet I'm feeling better. Haha.

Update 2: I was wrong. I'm feeling terrible now. Last check: 39.4 deg celsius. Argh I hate this

原谅我 - 萧敬腾

请不要分了以後　还记得亲吻过的承诺
你的永久已不属於我
默默低头　那时我很多话哽在喉咙

你的笑　你的快乐　不是我爱太多　想太多
我能感受他比我适合
爱放了手　我伪装冷漠　比你先说分手

请原谅我　原谅我不成熟
不爱你是藉口　好让你离开我
请原谅我　好想自私将你占有
一个寂寞就给我承受　换你过更好的生活

请不要分了以後　还记得亲吻过的承诺
你的永久已不属於我
默默低头　那时我很多话哽在喉咙

你的笑　你的快乐　不是我爱太多　想太多
我能感受他比我适合
爱放了手　我伪装冷漠　比你先说分手

请原谅我　原谅我不成熟
不爱你是藉口　好让你离开我
请原谅我　好想自私将你占有
一个寂寞就给我承受　换你过更好的生活

爱过恨过哭过也笑过　
亲吻过你的脆弱　其实我比谁都要懦弱

原谅我　必须假装爱错
别让时间倒流　我怕说不出口
原谅我　没有解释太多心痛
别无所求　彻底忘了我　爱原来要舍得

我难过　我才懂

It's Over!

2008-10-25T15:01:00.002+08:00

I completed my 1st ICT!

Honestly, it wasn't as tough as I expected it to be, but it sure is tiring. Hope to see my new found friends next time round :)

I hate those people who arranges for something, and calls the shots for everything as though they are the king. Yesterday, we asked these 2 person to play mahjong at 11, and they said they can't. Soon after, they contacted us again and asked if we can play at 2+. Jason, me and darling then decided that since it's 2+, why not 330 so that darling can join us too. The 2 of them said it's a bit late, but no problem, and asked us to start earlier if possible.

Next, Jason and I then decided that since they wanted to start early, why not me and him go play first, and I'll go fetch darling at 3. This way, we only have to wait for at most 30 minutes for me to go fetch her, rather than wait for 3 1/2 hours (it was 12 midnight). Called the 2 of them, and they said that they are not ready, and that they can only start at 2+. At that time, I was already quite pissed off.

We then went to Neo's place to slack and wait for them to call us. Nbcb. 3am, and they said they are not free yet. Can only start at about 330. Hello, you were the one who said 2+, I said 330 and you complained that it was too late, and asked us to go earlier, I said earlier, you said 2+, we waited till 3, and you say 330.

KNN.

You are not the king. Have some basic courtesy to inform us that you will be late. You had to wait for us to call u at 3am, before you would tell us that you guys will be ready at 330am.

Sorry, but I just don't like such things to happen.

ICT

2008-10-19T13:09:00.001+08:00

In-camp training's been fine. And it's fun to see all the people back at INT branch again.

BUT I HATE MY HAIR NOW! I look damn ugly in it man! Argh!

Sigh

2008-10-10T12:57:00.002+08:00

Why must I fall sick again days before my performance at WTC?

I don't care. No matter how bad my cough is, no matter how different my voice is, I'll perform this Sunday.

Please bear with me :p

Agree?

2008-10-06T15:12:00.002+08:00

Had a conversation over MSN with Neo earlier, and he said some really philosophical stuff.

"Good looking people like good looking people because they're good looking."
"Good looking people like bad looking people because it makes them feel better and more secure."
"So if you're neither good looking nor bad looking, you're basically screwed."

So, does anyone out there agree with this bullshit?

Photoshoot

2008-10-05T19:35:00.002+08:00

Sorry for not updating for the past few days. For those who do not know, I've already shifted out of my house and is currently staying at my Ah Ma house until I get the keys for the new house on the 24th of Oct.

The photoshoot yesterday at BerryHappy was very fun! I had loads of fun, and I bet Joey and Fiona did too. Thanks Wendy, for making me look good! Hahaha I can't wait to see the photos man. It's only after this photo shoot that I come to notice how tough it is for models to look good 24/7, because the photo shoot was at 9.30am! Super early can!!!

And Minhui, sorry for missing the dance lesson today again. My handphone auto shutdown, and I didn't have any alarm to wake me up. It's the first time in many many years that I actually overslept and slept for 12 hours. I'm sorry. 对不起 :(

Clarification

2008-09-25T21:26:00.002+08:00

Currently at selegie waiting for Neo to finish his school, before going out to chill or play mahjong.

Since so many people are asking, I'll just clarify some things here.

I'm SINGLE.

Recently, I've been calling someone darling, but it's all in the name of fun. It's true that I do have feelings for her, but it's impossible for the both of us to be together. That's what she said, and I think it's true. We both lead 2 different lives, and at the same time maybe our characters don't match too. So no matter how I like her, or the other round (I hope so), we can and shall remain as good friends.

At the same time, we won't be meeting up too often in case other people mistake us for being a couple, which many are already doing so. And she doesn't want to be tied down, which I totally respect. But I guess subconsciously I'm trying to do that, and as such it's making her feel very uncomfortable.

Since our lives are so different, it's better that we remain like what we are now. Good friends, the occasional movie, occasional dinner, occasional late night.

So clarification done.

I'm SINGLE, and AVAILABLE. I think.

Coin Depositing

2008-09-19T18:04:00.004+08:00

Was helping my auntie pack all the coins yesterday night, and the coins were so damn heavy, even the 2 of us had difficulty carrying it and placing it into the car.

We then drove off to Jurong (which I found out today that it's damn stupid because there is one right at Yew Tee) to deposit the coins, and after depositing 2500+ pieces of coins, which is less than 10% of what we have, the machine gave me problems. "Coin jammed", "Service temporarily unavailable".

WTF!!!

What's going to happen to all those coins that I've deposited, which is like $500+!? And I still have so much more to deposit!

Had to call the phone banking hotline, and they said that it will be only be fixed at 8pm today! I wonder why it takes so long for a technician to come down and fix the machine. I certainly hope that they can fix it, and at the same time retrieve the amount that I've deposited so far at that outlet, and credit it into the bank account.

After that, went down to Millions to find Faith, Sebastian, Kelly and Darling. Sebastian, you're damn easy to fool. 你不打自招! I didn't hear any news from anyone! I just made a wild guess, and you admitted it yourself! =p

Lesson learnt: Do not bring so much coins to deposit at one go. The coin depositing machine is so damn small.

Packing Room + Pictures

2008-09-15T13:18:00.005+08:00

Was packing my room since this morning, and I managed to clear a lot of useless stuff!

But at the same time, I also managed to find things that are of sentimental value to me, but left neglected in one corner.

Looking at my bare empty room, memories begin to creep back into my mind.

Memories of my grandmother coming into my room and chat with me, memories of my small little cousin coming into my room and play with me, memories of my friends coming to my place for a chit chat and gaming session.

I will miss this place. A lot. But at the same time, I'm looking forward to my new place, even though I'll most probably be living in there for a couple of years only.

Now, I've gotta wait for my darling to wake up and then go shopping together. I just noticed that I need a new bag! All my school bags are screwed up and ugly!

P.S. Darling, I think we should stop eating duck for the next few days =p

Clockwise from top left:
Teo, Toe, Chong Hsien, Yuling, Darren, Me

All these pictures point to one thing. I need a damn haircut and re-dye my hair! Anyone care to sponsor?

Soccer

2008-09-14T15:06:00.002+08:00

I hate being under the sun for so many hours. Now my arms are red, my nose is red and my cheeks are red too :(

Futsal tournament yesterday was fun, though the results weren't satisfactory. Too bad, it's my final year already, so I can't join it again next year.

Messed Up

2008-09-13T10:13:00.000+08:00

I'm starting to think that my life is damn messed up.

Either it's really happening, or that I'm thinking too much.

I need love. Badly.

Chest

2008-09-12T16:33:00.002+08:00

Thanks to darling, Neo and Jason, my chest now has 3 very obvious scars.

But due to the fact that I want to keep my blog at a rating of PG, I will not post the picture of my scars.

If there's anyone who's interested in looking at it, you can always feel free to contact me and I'll show it to you.

Bloody Neo and Jason. Damn fucking pain can. Next time it's gonna be my turn to pinch you guys.

Our Future

2008-09-11T13:35:00.003+08:00

Went to watch Wall-E with Neo, Jeffrey, Jason and Darling last night at Marina Square.

Is that going to be our future?

Where Earth is full of thrash and thus humans have to live in space?

And while in space, everything is so automated that basically humans do nothing except eat, sleep, play, and chat on a computer screen?

To the extent that they don't even know how to walk, because they're constantly on an automated chair?

Who knows, living in space might just become a reality in years to come. But I certainly hope that Earth is not what it's like in Wall-E, where there's nothing except rubbish. We're destroying the Earth, and we need to stop doing that right now. I don't want to die, and find out afterwards that my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchild is a passenger in the space shuttle, weighing 200KG, does not know how to walk even though he's 25, never talked to anyone face-to-face before, and not knowing what Earth is like.

.
.
.

When a couple is having problems, I feel that both should sit down and talk through it. There's no point in avoiding it, especially when the couple is living together. It only makes things worse. Even if the couple ends up breaking up, and that the girl moves back to her original home, it will be much better in the long run. I know it's easier said than done, but don't worry.

There's me, Darling.

Irritating

2008-09-08T12:31:00.002+08:00

It gets kinda irritating when after playing mahjong for about 7 hours from 12am to 7am, you end up not winning and not losing?

Hahaha. Happens to me a lot of times though, and I'm used to it.

Most importantly, don't lose :)

Dinner at AMK was great. The crabs were good, especially the claypot crab bee hoon soup! OMG! Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarking great!

4 As!!!!!

2008-09-07T14:42:00.002+08:00

Alvin (whispering): Eh Calvin, results 出了. 你拿什么result?
Me: 我不懂. 我不在家. 你在library huh? 讲话那么小声
Alvin: Uh. 我在library. 要不要我帮你check?
Me: 好啊! Scary sia. 我 expect 1 A, 1 B, 2 Cs

.
.
.
.

Alvin: NB! 你的头lor! 你拿四个A!
Me: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woohoo!!!! I'm so damn happy to get such a result, mainly because I promised my grandma that I will do so. I was worried that I couldn't do well as there were many things happening to me during my examination period and I couldn't concentrate on studying.

奶奶，我做到了。

New Game

2008-09-03T12:10:00.002+08:00

I'm kind of addicted to this new game that Ben and Cashe taught me. It's actually a board game called Coda, but because we do not have the game itself, we use poker cards to replace it instead.

The game has got 26 tiles, 13 black and 13 white. At the start, each player is to take 4 tiles, 2 black and 2 white, and to arrange them in numerical order from left to right. If the 2 tiles have the same number, the black will be on the left of the white. The 13th tile is a joker, and can be placed anywhere inside the player's pack. Each turn, a player is to draw a tile from the remaining tiles, regardless of black or white, and to place that tile in the correct order in his pack. The player then starts to guess the opponent's tiles. If the player made a right guess, the opponent's tile will be revealed. The player can then choose to carry on guessing, or stop. If the player chooses to stop, he/she can then keep the drawn tile. If the player made an incorrect guess, his/her own drawn tile will be revealed.

The player who gets all the tiles revealed first loses.

We've been playing this game together for the past 2 days, and I must admit that although it is fun, it consumes like 1000% of your brain cells, and you'll be totally brain dead and exhausted at the end of 3 or 4 games.

But it's a really fun game that everyone should try!

Lost Voice

2008-09-01T16:00:00.002+08:00

This is damn fucked up. I was supposed to perform at White Tangerine Cafe yesterday night, but I had no voice when I woke up in the morning. It's so damn frustrating!

I'm going to make sure that from today onwards, I'll drink lots of water, honey, and 枇杷膏!

Went for pool and supper with a few friends after the performance, and Neo constantly commented "this is student life man". Only one more year for me though, and after that it's to work and earn money! :)

Oops

2008-08-28T15:25:00.004+08:00

Not been updating for the past few days. Lazy. Haha.

Last Sunday I was one of the many performers at Jurong Point, hoping to raise funds of the Children's Cancer Society. Saw Jeremaine there, an old friend of mine, who's now at Lee Wei Song School of Music. It feels great that the group of us who love singing, are able to do so on a different stage now. Rather than singing in the rooms or the halls of Partyworld, we are now doing it on a stage with a different meaning, which is to persuade people to donate generously. I don't know if I was able to touch anyone with my singing, but it felt really great to be able to be a part of this. It just made my life feel more meaningful, that I'm able to do something for those in need. Even if I didn't manage to persuade anyone, at least I'm grateful to be a part of this event.

After the charity performance, it was off to Global Sounds Cafe for our Echo Music Student Gathering, where students are supposed to perform and showcase what they've learned at Echo over the past few months or years, and to receive their certificates of recognition. I forgot my lyrics during my performance! OMG! I allowed myself to be distracted by Jake. I'm going to kill him! And congrats to Danick for winning the SGD100 for being the best performer for the night. You did well, and thanks for the dinner after that haha :)

I'm currently in the midst of transforming into a 宅男, one who always stay at home instead of going out. But this week is really busy for me. Yesterday I had soccer trials in the morning at 9.30am, and after that I had a badminton session at Serangoon with my classmates. But due to bad weather, I had to play soccer under heavy rain in the morning. Twice, to be exact. Already felt feverish while having lunch and playing badminton, and totally knocked out once I reached home.

Today is to go Zouk with Neo and Cash for a SMU bash. I'm not a clubber, and I've not been to Zouk for more than 5 times in my 24 years. But I'm just going there to accompany the 2 of them, to have a good time with the guys, and to see if they can hook up any girls in there, especially Cash who I think has the ability to do that.

Saturday morning is my 2nd photo shoot for my portfolio in Echo Music, and it's going to be an outdoor one! It's going to be the first time I'm doing an outdoor photo shoot, and I believe it's going to be really fun! Hope that the picutres will turn out fine, now that my teacher has given the photographer a set of photographs as a reference to the image that she wants to carve out for me. A bit of sweet looking and yet rebellious. Something like this one:

After the photo shoot, it'll be music lesson, and then rushing down to Mandai Crematorium to pray my secondary school classmate. It's a pity that she passed away when she was just 14. She had so much talent, and she was such a sweet girl, and yet she was hit by a mysterious virus and left us so suddenly. 11 years on, and she still lives in our heart.

After that it'll be down to Dungeon, as I'm invited to their 5th anniversary celebration. Haha.

And on Sunday I'll be having a performance at White Tangerine Cafe, performing with someone called Ivan, who I heard from my teacher is a regular performer at 爱琴海. Although I'll feel the stress performing beside such a seasoned performer, I do hope that it will push me to make sure that I improve and perform well at the same time. 加油!

And in the midst of all these events, I've been busy packing my room and prepare to move house. Will officially hand over our house to the new owner on the 15th of Sept, and will officially take over our new house on the 28th of Oct. In between, I'm homeless. Anyone having any room/apartment on rent for 2 months? Please let me know immediately if you have one. It's kinda urgent.

Updates

2008-08-12T22:24:00.002+08:00

Thursday

Was in school for my first FYP consultation with my project supervisor, and I was shocked to see that Chris had the same supervisor as me. It's funny that I was the one who won the bid for my project while Chris had to choose another project title, and we end up having the same project supervisor, doing similar projects. Duh.

Had Neo's birthday celebration at Dungeon after that, and it felt great to see a few of my friends that I've not seen for quite some time. People like Kev, JF, Jessie, Luke. If Neo did not insist on drinking all of his lambo and half yard all by himself, he might not have been that dead drunk. But sadly, that was what he did, and within 15 minutes, he was gone. Totally gone. LOL. Was kinda happy for him that so many people turned up for his birthday celebration. I don't even remember when was the last time I had that many people celebrating my birthday with me. Maybe when I was in primary school?

End up, even Cash was drunk too, and we had so much trouble getting him into Jason's van. Oh, and Red, send me the video which you took while Cash was pee-ing behind the power box at the road side. Hahahahaha.

Friday

Met up with Jessie, Sheen, Neo and Chris for a KTV session at International Building. It's been such a long time since I last had a KTV session with them, considering the frequency of our KTV outings in the past. As usual, it was fun, and there were plenty of updates on one another's lives. Great to see you girls, and Sheen, you've really slimmed down a bit.

Monday

Was a school holiday, and thus no teaching for me. Had my quarter finals for "Be A Star" at 7pm, and I got eliminated. But as this is the first major competition that I've taken part in, I'm kind of satisfied with my performance, having get to the QFs. And moreover, out of 25, they only chose 10. I heard those 10 sing, and they were good. I've done my best, and therefore I don't feel sad having being eliminated. One of the judges came up to me after the competition and said that I did not perform up to the judges' expectations, using the previous rounds' performances as a guideline. It was just an opportunity to test myself and see how far I can go in such a competition, and I've gotten my answer.

Overall, I had fun in the competition, and I've also made a couple of friends who are going to be new additions to my list of KTV kakis :)

Thanks to those who wished me good luck. Fiona, Alex, Caleb, Taiwei, Rick. I didn't include Neo's name inside, because he was busy having fun at his SMU camp with all the hot babes ><

Qualification. With A Scare.

2008-08-05T12:58:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, I had my preliminary round audition at Partyworld, International Building.

When the results were announced, my number wasn't in the list of the qualifiers. I took the souvenir from the MC, and was about to walk out of the room when suddenly the 2 judges stopped me and said that I'm supposed to be one of the qualifiers. The staff then double checked and said that my number is not in the list. So it's either a mistake made by the 2 judges, or a mistake by the staff.

So there I was, in front of all the contestants and audience, standing stranded, not knowing whether am I eliminated or have I qualified.

After they double checked with the 2 judges again, the staff noticed that they have made a mistake, and that I qualified for the quarter finals. What a scare! I'm very grateful to the 2 judges who recognised me and immediately pointed out that there was a mistake made. Thank you :)

And thanks to those who morally supported me. I made it =D

Yes!

This is damn funny.

Untraceable

2008-07-31T10:30:00.002+08:00

Was watching this DVD at home, and I find it quite amazing. Even though I went online to look at what people say about the show, and many of them were negative, I would still give the movie a 7 on a scale of 10.

This movie is about this psycho who kidnaps people, torture them, put it on live streaming, and the more people who visit the website, the faster the person gets killed. So basically, if no one surfed the website, the person will never be dead. But, amazingly, millions of people visit the website everytime someone gets captured and is streamed online, and it indirectly causes the person to die even faster.

What will you do if this happens in real life? If you are the police, will you hold a press conference and ask people to stop visiting the website? If you are the public and you hear about this story, will you be thinking, "Nah, me going to visit the website won't harm. It's only adding 1 to the number anyway. Won't get that person killed that quickly."

Sadly, I believe that if this actually happened in real life, an alarming number of people will visit the website. And after that person dies, these people will not even be guilty and think that they are actually accomplices in crime.

The power of internet. In a negative way. Reflected so accurately through this movie. Go watch it.

It's Been More Than A Week

2008-07-27T12:10:00.004+08:00

And my voice is still not back.

And I'm still coughing.

And I'm still vomitting.

Argh! When can I ever recover!?

Luckily, Partyworld allowed me to postpone my audition to the 4th of August. And, congratulations to my bro and Caleb for making it past the 2nd round audition! Certainly hope that I can make it past the 2nd round too, and meet you guys in the next round! We are enemies!

School's been quite OK. And I believe everyone has already chosen their titles for their FYP. Sadly, I'll have to compete with, of all people, Chris. Chris, 不是你死就是我亡! Hahahaha.

Recently, I don't know what's happening to me, but I can't sleep, and normal dosages of cough mixture (10ml) cannot put me to sleep. So what do I do? I drink 30ml in 1 night, and 35ml in another. Last night, I opened a new bottle of cough mixture in the dark and drank without knowing how much. I just opened it up and checked. New record. 40ml. Hope I do not get too reliant on an overdose of cough mixture to put myself to sleep, as I totally didn't sleep much during the 1 week that I'm not feeling well.

Disappointed. Frustrated.

2008-07-22T14:38:00.004+08:00

Why, of all times, must I be sick now?!!

Fever. Flu. Cough. Sore throat.

Because of this throat, I had to miss my performance at White Tangerine Cafe on Sunday.

Because of the bloody sore throat, which only seems to get worse day by day, I had to miss my audition for the singing competition at Boat Quay yesterday.

And because of this sore throat, which I don't think will recover anytime soon, I will have to miss my 2nd round of auditions for "Be A Star" at Partyworld.

Why!!!

I want to say thank you to those who wished me a speedy recovery. Sadly, even the doctor said that it takes me at least 5 days to fully recover, and he gave me a 3 day MC. Who the hell gets a 3 day MC for sore throat? I guess it just shows how serious the throat inflammation is.

Busy

2008-07-20T11:14:00.005+08:00

Been really busy with many things recently.

Singing. School (both teaching and studying). Performances. Competitions. Friends.

Suddenly feel very overwhelmed by all of these events, and find that I need to have a really good time management plan.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

School's been fun. The module's interesting, and so is the teacher. The only sickening part is that lessons are on Friday nights, from 7pm to 10pm! That is like the worst time slot for a lesson. Even the lecturer's wondering why did the school set it like this, and salute us for going to his lesson, instead of skipping it and going out.

Well, Mr Lecturer, it's because this is only the beginning :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Competitions were good. Just want to test how far I can go, instead of aiming to win and dream of being a singer. I do think that with competitions and the comments that are given to you, you can improve. By pushing yourself, you can perform better too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beware, everyone. There is some kind of a flu + cough + sore throat virus going out there. Many people I know are falling sick, and all have the same symptoms. And I just became a victim of it 3 days ago! It was mild initially, but now my voice is terrible. My throat hurts even as I speak or swallow my saliva, and I've got my 2nd round auditions for "Be A Star" on Wednesday! *Prays that I can recover by then*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just received an email talking about sugar cane drinks. Here it is.

A friend whose father works for the government health inspection passed on his info. Their job is to inspect all hawkers, their cooked food, their store hygiene, etc. They found sugar cane juice has the highest content of bacteria among all food.
In fact, it has exceeded the set limit.

Hence, these guys had to find out why. They went round all sugar cane stores and watched the way the hawkers handled their sugar cane, wash their glasses, their entire procedure. But they couldn't find the problem.

One day, they stayed till closing time and discovered some shocking facts! Whenever, the hawkers closed their stores, they would wash the floor with detergent. As we know, the remaining sugar canes will be placed at the back of the store, vertically standing and as sugar canes are very porous, they tend to absorb whatever liquid around them. Besides the soapy water, the dirt on hawkers' boots, cats' urine, etc, will all be absorbed?? Now, whenever I eat at a hawker centre, I would warn all my friends about this and of course I stopped drinking my favourite sugar cane juice.

A friend, who loved sugar cane juice, was pregnant. She was always drinking sugar cane juice. Anyway, one day she miscarried and the foetus was already like 6 or 7 months old, I think. When the doctors did an autopsy to find out why all of a sudden the foetus had died inside her, they found traces of some chemical substance, which was found in cat urine. Large traces of it.

While it would not be able to harm adults, it was extremely toxic to babies, what more a foetus? So they tried to determine how this cat urine thing could have ended up in the foetus. This meant that it had to be digested by the mother, right? And the only logical conclusion they could come up with was that since these sugar cane juice stall holders just leave the canes lying around on the wet and dirty floor, it would not be impossible to think that stray cats could have peed on those sugar canes or near those sugar canes. So think carefully the next time you order that favourite sugar cane juice!

Please pass this on to everyone you know in S'pore & M'sia. Let's take action to make this world a better & safer place for all of us & the generations to come.

So please be careful!

Lost

2008-07-08T13:15:00.003+08:00

Someone please tell me what song should I sing for my next round of auditions for "Be A Star"!

Went KTV with Neo, Apple and Eunice yesterday. And still, I don't know what song to choose!

Argh!!!

And recently, a few of my friends saw me and say that my eyes look swollen. Gina, Denise, Jasson, and many more. Apparently, crying every night before sleeping is taking its toll, that is if I even slept.

But, I can't help it, can I?

Poor Performance

2008-07-07T08:14:00.003+08:00

Performed from 9pm to 10pm yesterday at White Tangerine Cafe at Kovan CC, and sadly I didn't do well for all my 3 songs. In fact, I felt that I did terribly for 遗失的美好.

But it's ok! I will make sure that I improve with every performance, and not make the same mistakes again!

And, I need to learn how to sit straight. Haha.

Argh! I got cheated today morning! It's Youth Day today! A school holiday! No lessons for me to teach, and yet the school didn't inform us at all! Make me wake up at like 6.45am just to go to an empty school, and chat with the security guard for 10 minutes before heading home, and blogging right now.

I must tell my students to SMS me whenever there is a school holiday the next day, so that I won't enter an empty CCKSS again. Lol.

My Car Is Back!

2008-07-03T10:16:00.002+08:00

Yes!

My car has finally been repaired!

Damage: $5000+

Next year's insurance premium's gonna be a killer.

To my driver friends: Please drive carefully. If the price to pay for an accident is money, it's fine. But if it's a life, then no amount of money can pay for that.

The perfect song that currently describes my feelings and thoughts:

陈小春 - 我爱的人

我知道故事不会太曲折
我总会遇见一个什么人
陪我过没有了她的人生
成家立业之类的等等
她做了她觉得对的选择
我只好祝福她真的对了
爱不到我最想要爱的人
谁还能要我怎样呢
我爱的人不是我的爱人
她心里每一寸都属于另一个人
她真幸福幸福得真残忍
让我又爱又恨她的爱怎么那么深
我爱的人她已有了爱人
从他们的眼神说明了我不可能
每当听见她或他说「我们」
就像听见爱情永恒的嘲笑声

不充实的生活

2008-06-30T11:41:00.003+08:00

最近真的忙得不可开交。练歌，表演，做工，教课。

我忽然间想了一想，觉得她应该会这么说： “为什么你要等到我们分开了，你才开始做这些事呢？为什么我们在一起的时候你没做这些事呢？如果你有做，那事情就会完全不同了。”

我觉得这是一个很多人会犯的错。很多人会因为有了另一半，而觉得太过满足。

这正是我犯的一个错。大错特错。

跟她在一起的时候，终是觉得其他的事情根本就不重要，无论是工作或读书。

虽然这没有影响到我的成绩，但是却使她和她的家人觉得我是一个很懒散的人，是一个没有上进心的人，是一个不能依靠的男人。

现在的我变了。

我现在只想把我的书念好，为了不辜负我死去的奶奶的期望。毕业后，找一份工作，存了钱以及了解市场的需要过后，再开一间小公司，自己当老板。

儿女私情的东西，我不想再管了。如果她愿意回到我的身边，那是最好的。要不然，就把钱花在自己以及我姑姑和姑丈的身上。

我打算让天来决定此事。

至于我对她的爱，是永远都不会变的。

那一天的到来之前，无论我多忙，我都会觉得我的生活很不充实。

因为没有她。

Charity Performance

2008-06-27T11:19:00.004+08:00

The charity performance on Wednesday was fun! And it was a last minute decision to sing live! Haha, we were all so happy to hear that as 对嘴 is really very tough.

Guess it was a good experience for all of us, especially Neo, who got to sing live with Ric from Dreamz FM. So jealous :(

P.S. Thanks Minhui, for that oversized + crumped T-shirt haha

All happy and satisfied!

Next stop: White Tangerine Cafe at Kovan!

我撞车了

2008-06-23T02:12:00.002+08:00

If there was anyone who was caught in a jam at the PIE towards Changi Airport at about 8.30pm to 9.30pm on Friday, it's because of a 7 car chain collision at the extreme right lane.

I was the 7th car.

3 to 10 seconds before the collision, I was in the middle lane. If I had stayed in the middle lane, I'd have been fine. But unluckily, I chose to change to the extreme right lane. And what happened next was this: bang, bang, bang, screeching sound, brake lights of the taxi in front, I tried to swerve left to the middle lane, failed, and bang. I hit the left rear of the taxi, and my front right is damaged. Felt damn fucked up.

No. I wasn't speeding. I was travelling at 80km/h.

No. I wasn't tailgating. I was about 1 car length away.

Luckily, those people who were all caught in the accident were fine. Many came over and told me what to do and what to say in order to protect myself, as the law always make the last guy in a chain collision the culprit.

After that, all went to the TP headquarters for taking of statements. The worst thing was that when I went in, the investigating officer told me that I might be fined SGD200 and have 6 points deducted. He didn't tell me the reason why, but the tow truck guy who sent me there explained to me that it's considered reckless driving for being the last guy. Argh!

On Saturday, had to go to Borneo Motors to file an accident report. As the person insured is my uncle, who happens to be in Japan and is uncontactable, they told me that I had to wait until my uncle comes back and sign the form before they can start to repair the car, irregardless of how long he is going to be away. I was like, WTF! Luckily, my auntie managed to complain and psycho them to let her sign on my uncle's behalf.

After that, went down to Guillemard Road to collect our replacement car provided by the insurance. We were supposed to take the Vios, but then because we were in a rush and the guy was taking his own sweet time to drive the Vios back, we had to take the Hyundai Matrix.

Damn bloody wrong choice.

I've only been driving it for 2 days, half the petrol is gone, and it was full when I collected it.

And amazingly, until now, my auntie didn't ask me if I suffered any injuries. Over the phone when the accident happened, she asked me 2 questions.

First question: "You were speeding, right?!"

Second question: "How's the car now?"

The only people who said that the car is not as important as my safety are my friends. Interesting eh?

I bet when my uncle comes home, he'll say the exact same thing as my auntie. Suspect that I was speeding, and ask what's the damage to the car like. He won't be asking if I suffered any injuries.

He should be back on Thursday. It's gonna be judgement day for me. I might even be grounded and not be allowed to drive in the future. Damn.

Jam 蕭敬騰

2008-06-19T18:48:00.000+08:00

2008年最期待的聲音蕭敬騰

不要全世界，只要你聽見他的歌!

李偲菘、李偉嵩、馬玉芬、陳偉、曹格、F.I.R./阿沁、五月天/阿信、蘇打綠/青峰、小宇、陳鎮川、鄔裕康華語樂壇重量級音樂人聯手打造

-專輯收錄「收藏」「原諒我」「王子的新衣」等10+1首必備入手完全K歌
-獨家珍藏「一輩子存在」「海芋戀」2首蕭敬騰自創曲
-專輯內附「收藏蕭敬騰集點貼紙x1」

一個足以穿透一切東西且富有深切情感的聲音，蕭敬騰。

【收藏】
首張同名專輯裡敬騰的第一波主打【收藏】，是由李偉菘老師作曲，陳鎮川老師作詞。從極具生命力的聲音開啟整首歌及整張專輯，進入了全新的蕭敬騰，英式搖滾的蕭敬騰，內容傳達蕭敬騰從小到大，不論是開心還是悲傷，所有的心情故事都濃縮珍藏在詞曲當中，讓大家聽了也能感受他的喜怒哀樂。

【原諒我】
【原諒我】，是同門師兄FIR的阿沁為蕭敬騰精心打造的情歌。流暢的弦律線條帶出副歌的（原諒我，原諒我不成熟），也是用蕭敬騰的口吻去寫出這種說不出口的情感，令人了解他沈默但卻有豐富情感的一面，是一首非常好聽，而且耐聽的情歌。

【王子的新衣】
【王子的新衣】，是一首有爆炸力的美式抒情搖滾，其中直接寫出他的想法，更可以看到在他沈默的外表有著另一種叛逆的個性；整首歌很有爆發力及渲染力。

【奮不顧身】
接下來一首動人的情歌【奮不顧身】，是由曹格作曲，直接的情感，動人的聲線，副歌（我用我的生命愛你，不讓尖銳的世界傷害你），寫出奮不顧身愛一個人的情感。具有戲劇性效果的編曲，讓聽的人的情緒隨著他的聲音而上下起伏。

【疼愛】
五月天阿信也為蕭敬騰量身打造【疼愛】，一首中版的輕快歌曲，簡單的弦律，輕快的節奏，舒服的聲音，讓人有種紓壓的感覺。

【活著】
新銳創作歌手小宇同學，也為蕭敬騰寫了一首傳唱度高、渲染力十足的金屬搖滾快歌【活著】，副歌部份如同情緒宣洩般的張力，展現出敬騰歌聲的爆發力。歌詞內容則是寫給支持他的歌迷朋友們。

【多希望你在】
這張專輯眾多音樂人共同參與。這次更邀請到了蘇打綠的吳青峰為敬騰寫一首很好聽的氣質抒情悲歌【多希望你在】。像詩一般的歌詞，也為蕭敬騰的聲音帶來優雅的氣息，是值得一聽再聽的好歌；敬騰在這首歌裡也嚐試了運用假音唱法，更讓人再認識了他聲音的可塑性。

【我在哭】
李偲菘老師為蕭敬騰寫了一首英式抒情歌【我在哭】，略為成熟的弦律意外地適合蕭敬騰的聲線，在一段一段的舖陳下，情緒也進入了他的領域。邊聽著這首歌，會邊想要和他一起愛，一起哭。

【Blues】
陳偉老師也為蕭敬騰打造了一首具速度感的搖滾快歌【Blues】，是整張專輯中最快的一首歌，狂放的曲風，也讓人見識到了蕭敬騰唱快歌的功力。

【一輩子存在】
這首是蕭敬騰自己的創作，展現了他除了好歌喉之外的另一種創作才華。一首具有情感醞釀的抒情歌【一輩子存在】，讓人除了認識他的聲音更認識了他的內心世界，帶有一點Gasple味道的副歌，深情而具深度的Vocal，足以打動無數人的心。

【bonus track：海芋戀】
【海芋戀】這首也是蕭敬騰的創作歌曲。中版而青春洋溢的弦律，呈現出來的也正是21歲的他的內心世界。外表看似沈穩冷靜，其實私底下還是個活潑的大男孩。當初因為比賽而創作的海芋戀，早已在網路上流傳許久，這一次在同名專輯裡特別加入這首當作bonus track，讓喜愛敬騰的歌迷們能夠好好珍藏！

06. 多希望妳在

Performances!

2008-06-16T01:17:00.002+08:00

Heard from my S.T.A.R program instructor that from July onwards, we will be performing at cafes regularly! So exciting! I've always wanted to perform for people, but I never had the chance to do so. Now that I have this opportunity, I have to make sure that my voice is in tip-top condition. And that means no more 麻辣火锅 :(

Nothing much happened these few days, except that my auntie and uncle went to Castle Green at Yio Chu Kang to view 3 flats, and they fell in love with 1 of them. Apparently, they are already checking out some details regarding CPF with a friend of my auntie, who happens to be the agent who is keeping a lookout for potential buyers of our flat.

I already have plans on how to renovate my new room! Haha! New bed, LCD TV mounted on wall with SCV, theatre system, PS3, neatly packed wardrobe with many old clothes donated to charity, huge bookshelf for all my studying materials, long study table with my desktop, iMac (planning to buy one), and my laptop side by side, all connected by a linksys router.

But it's only a 3 room condo, about 1156 square feet, which is 500 square feet smaller than my current. That's 1/3 of my current flat gone! But then again, with only 3 people and 2 dogs, we don't need a big house anymore. Moreover, I'll eventually get married and move out. So getting a condo for them is quite right, in a sense that when they retire, they can sell it for a good price and then they will probably emigrate to Australia for retirement.

I'm really thankful to my auntie and uncle for bringing me up when my father passed away when I was just 3 years old. They gave up the idea of having their own children, and made me theirs. How great is that! The only thing that I can do now is to make sure that I get a good certificate (probably Masters), get a good job with good pay, give them monthly allowance (although they won't need it at all), and make sure that they stay healthy.

Thank you, 姑姑, 姑丈.

Pictures Of Concert

2008-06-11T13:49:00.002+08:00

Only a few pictures. And they're almost the same. Haha. The reason why there isn't any picture of me with any of the artistes, it's because I don't like taking pictures. Except for big group photos.

Members of the S.T.A.R program (Take 1)
Top (L to R): Alex, Zhang Yan, Wenbin, Neo
Bottom (L to R): Me, Esther, Meijun

Members of the S.T.A.R program (Take 2). I look ugly in here.

Members of the S.T.A.R program (Take 3). Addition: Jake, the youngest of us all. The one who said I looked retard in this picture. I'll kill you for this, Jake!

Two of the instructors in the school, Caleb and Minhui. This picture is going to scare potential students away. Without any doubt.

全家幅 + Ruth, the music director of the concert. Her keyboard skills is .. just absolutely fantastic.
