trapped!

I'm trapped! By cool weather and heavy rains....

Woke up this morning feeling really good, and I had no idea why. Then I realised what it was...it was raining cats and dogs, and boy, was everything freaking cool and suddenly my bed became very comfy. Hahaha...it was the typical 'it's-so-cold-that's-why-i-must-snuggle-and-not-get-up-from-bed' situation.

Well, now I'm changed and ready for school already, but the rain is still so heavy. I don't want to get wet leh...the bus stop is so far away from my block. Taking a taxi is tempting, but it's so not right to take a cab now, not with all the extra charges and what not. The freaking $2 peak hour surcharge is from 0700-0930! And booking charges are now $4! So expensive lor...

My lecture is at 1000hrs, and I still need to print my notes! Grrr....annoying lor.

Still staring at the rain (I don't feel like carrying an umbrella to school!)...it's at times like these when I wish I lived in school. Sheltered walkways almost everywhere, no worries at all. Sigh...feeling quite sian now. Well, at least my program for school today will be quite fun (at least as long as the weather holds up).

============================================================================================

-PS1101E Lecture 1000-1200
(Lunch somewhere in between)
-Phonology tutorial 1400-1500
-Study until 1700-ish, wait for Dan to come and join me.
-Dinner
-Slack in Dan's room. Maybe visit Leo's room too. (I wanna watch Will & Grace!)
-Run with Dan around school at night (Vi is coming too)
-Slumber-ish party night
-END/Zzzzz...

more funny stuff

Leonard very free...always can find this kinda thing...hahaha

friends and a Filipino

I'm into the third week of school already. Not a bad feeling.

Today was my free day, and I spent it in school. I gymmed, lunched, and did quite a bit of reading. Quite happy with myself. Still trying to get into the groove of reading, it's not easy lah...after three months of hols, it sure isn't easy.

This new school term got many new friends by my side. Really feeling quite happy about that. Leo is still my superhero, and I think I found a new superhero in Dan (woof!). These superheroes are the ones who have similar wavelengths/frequencies etc with me. Really can tell them anything, and I am so glad that I have found them, and I thank them for letting me into their lives.

[Psst...these are the ones that I can 'pou ding wa chok' (cook 'phone porridge' in Cantonese, meaning to talk on the phone for a long time) with. And trust me, the porridge we make is excellent wor...]

I think the company for this new semester is really going to be great. Still have my mainstays (these are the ones who make life in NUS FASS so bearable/unbearable all at the same time) in sch - Vi, XW, Matt, Kel, HX, Ting, Golden Tudong person, Aunty M aka BFX, Max, Ding


===================================================================
I'm listening to this Filipino singer, Christian Bautista (please read this properly, he is NOT related to our Taufik!). I would not say his voice is super cool, and no, I do not agree with Chris and Marcus that he's a male version of Corinne May. He looks good, and sounds like an excellent Disney cartoon (before all the 3D shit we get nowadays; I'm talking Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin, Pochantas, Hercules etc, that era). He just brings me back to those good ol' days. Sighz...


(the lyrics are SOOO typical, but u still feel good listening lor... ^_^)



Everything You Do

i love the way you smile
when i look in your eyes
i love the way you laugh
when i try to be funny
and how a tear rolls down your face
when i say no one can ever take your place


and baby when you sleep
i watch you breathing
and baby when you dream
i dream with you
coz everywhere you are
is where i wanna be
it's true, everything you do
makes me know how much i love you


the way you touch my lips
right after every kiss
and softly whisper
that i'm your everything
the way you pray our love won't die
every night just before you close your eyes


and baby when you sleep
i watch you breathing
and baby when you dream
i dream with you
coz everywhere you are
is where i wanna be
it's true, everything you do
makes me know how much i love you


i believe some things are meant to be
as sure as there is love you're just meant for me


and baby when you sleep
i watch you breathing
and baby when you dream
i dream with you
coz everywhere you are
is where i wanna be
it's true, everything you do
makes me know how much....


and baby when you sleep
i watch you breathing
and baby when you dream
i dream with you
coz everywhere you are
is where i wanna be
it's true, everything you do
makes me know how much i love you

This is excellent. Too cool...thanks to Leonard for sending me the link.



Please watch and enjoy!

So salah...

I was on my way to tuition on Monday evening...then I see this kinda thing...so terrible right? What is the world coming too? I mean N^U^M tees are actually ok (but slightly overbearing liao...EVERYONE is wearing them lah...stifling man), but this N^U^M bag is totally gross lah.

Gaudy, glossy green...things don't get much worse than that. Yeesh...

风水轮流转。。。

Boy, was it a shocker...I'll try my best to take it in my stride, but of course I'd be lying if I said it did not affect me. It's just a whole new pile shit that I need to deal with. While I spent most of the evening being mopey and calling some of those close to me to get them to hear my 'story', it never occurred to me that all of this had happened before. And amazingly, it was also because of (or at least linked to) the same person.

This morning as I was packing my bag, I was trying to just think about the whole thing, and then it struck me...like a bolt out of the blue I guess...I had an epiphany (I've always wanted to use this word, and now I got the chance...WOOT!)! It suddenly struck me as something extremely karmic in nature...coming back to me, in this manner.

And because of you[being who you are to me] there is no way I can avoid it, no way I can 'hate' it into non-existence, and no way I can 'pretend' it into oblivion.

It is here to stay, and I have to deal...again (well, sorta...very much SORTA)

It hurts, but I am glad that you told me. It wouldn't have worked any other way. I will try talk to you again, when I've sorted out my thoughts (don't worry, definitely before you go back lah...^_^). There are still things I need to say to you, and I hope that you will listen when the time comes. I think we may need to go to my secret place, and then, with no one but us, I will tell you what I need to say.

It really is amazing...I never understood/experienced it until yesterday...the whole idea of '风水轮流转-ing'.

Whew...it's super scary...

PS: Thank you for your honesty. Thank you.
PS2: Thank you for listening to me...again...I know it's getting bothersome, and I am so grateful to you for being here still. Hahaha...You really are my SUPERMAN! (trust me, EVERYONE needs a superhero in their lives...okok, maybe not 'NEEDS', but it sure helps a lot!)

The Woes of an English Teacher.

Teaching English is a terrible task. I say this because it is not something that one can really teach per se. You can impart the skills, and the know-how, but at the end of the day, if the student does not implement what you have recommended into his everyday life, there is no way he/she can ever improve. That being said, sometimes, it is also the individuals' environment which determines his/her linguistic 'resources'. Sighz...

I shall now share with you a sample paragraph from my tuition kid's latest composition. Bear in mind that this is the same guy who spelt 'ears', as 'YEARS'. It's hilarious, of course, but it's still extremely disturbing to see a Secondary 3 student, who has supposedly been through 9 years of our great nation's education system, produce work like this:

Essay topic: Describe some sounds that you like, and why they mean so much to you.

"I like the sound of the cock which is cock-a-doodle. Every morning, I will wake up with the help of my cock. Without my cock, I will sleep till very late. The cock is also breeded by me and so it is very special to me. It was bought for me during my seventh birthday. The cock is also my favourite animal. I was told from my mom that I were born during the cock year. It adds to my love to cock."

*smilez* *grin* *hugz*

The first of school is almost over already. I've enjoyed myself tremendously so far.

It's been really fun hanging out with all my friends again, old and new. Year 1s were all exhibiting the usual enthusiasm/'sianz-ness' or starting a new phase of their life. The feeling is all too familiar. ^_^

I am sitting in The Deck right now...this place is going to be closed soon though. The renovations are going to take a whole year! No more FASS food for us...sighz... Have to go elsewhere to eat...will miss this place dearly. Haha.

My EL modules are all generally okay, and quite enjoyable. I am, however, a bit worried about my phonology with Dr Bao. I only got a B last semester for the EL2102, and that was surely because of the small class size. EL3202 is also very small! Jialat...sure die wan...the bell curve will destroy me man. EL2151 is quite interesting too, and there's abit of Sociology in it. So hopefully I will do okay in it. The problem is that I will probably go for tutorials by myself...no one wants to do with me. Sighz...sadness lor. EL3203 is great too! First lesson was earlier this morning, and he ended super early lah...he seems laidback and 'relak-relak' kind...we shall see man...lol

There are many familiar faces all around, and I've been catching with numerous friends throughout the week. It's all good man...so fun to see so many old friends.

=========================================================================
Rest of the day:

Lunch with Des.

Go CL to read and print stuff.

Gym at guildhouse.

Home.

PS: Gawd...I'm actually feeling sleepy...wonder what's happening man..sheesh.

Tonkich rocks!

Had dinner with Yixin yesterday. We went to Tonkich at Shaw House! Wah...I tell you ah...really damn good lor...no doubt it's all fried stuff, but the meats were all very fresh, and very very tasty! And because she had a friend working there, we got ourselves FREE potato salad!

Yixin and I shared the Twin Set...and it was just nice. Though the cabbage and rice was free flow, we never got to a second serving...hahaha. There was this very cool mortar and pestle thing that all customers get. We're supposed to crush the sesame seeds inside, and mix it up with their special dipping sauce.

Got chicken, pork, eggplant, prawn, and a mountain of crunchy lettuce! Oishi!

It's really good...though it was a bit pricey. You need at least $20 for a good meal. But on the whole, definitely worth it lah.

Yixin showed me something interesting...when I saw it, I was like....WAH! This is so...so...COOL! To those of you that get this next picture, good. To those who don't...too bad...

Sometimes, people (especially those intellectual types) talk too much.
They can talk everything into nothing,
and nothing into everything...it's amazing I tell you.

Say what you wanna say lah... ^_^
Do what you wanna do lah... ^_^

PS: I will be flying-kick-ing your butt soon Yixin! HI YA!

my room is clean again, and ready for the new semester!

just finished cleaning my room.

no more dust.

cleared shelf.

clean feeling floor.

now...time to spend some time with myself. ^_^

又来了。。。

今天又把真心话说了出来。 感觉好了一些。

我觉得这个方法还是最好的。 心中的话，说不出来是超难受的感觉。
但要把心中的话说出口需要很多勇气。经常我们会因为害怕，而不敢说出口。

我想说的是。。。

阿杰：

谢谢你，肯花时间听我讲。
谢谢你，这么温和地对待我。
谢谢你，还肯和我做朋友。

阿良：

昨晚我真得很担心你。
我很高兴我们把我们真正想说的一切都说了出来。

我们永远是最要好得知己。

阿聪：

你回来了！我真的高兴！ 想死你了。^_^

Don't ask me why I am blogging in Chinese...just felt like it. Everytime I go through some kinda emotional rollercoaster, I find the most resonance in the language of my people. Usually I connect most strongly, emotionally, when I speak Hainanese, but you can't really type Hainanese I guess...

Anyway, 你们三个对我来说， 非常非常的重要。

I am so fortunate to have you three in my life.

SHIOK!

I got the mental image today, and that is now perfectly fused with the tactile experience earlier this week!



Freaking SHIOK!!!


WOOT!

Minor Crisis - AVERTED!

There was a crisis in tuition class today.

I was slightly freaked out, but fortunately no one got hurt...at least, not alot lah.

One of my tuition kids did the stupidest thing. He put the cap (you know the one that covers the tiny eraser?) from his mechanical pencil up his nose. And it got stuck! He's a quiet boy, so he did not say anything.

But then I noticed that he was picking his nose, but in a slightly awkward manner. So I asked him to stop and explain what he was doing. He had begun to panic by then, and there a little blood coming out from his nostril. I shouted for him to stop, and press the other side shut, and blow out hard from his nose.

The first blow brought from a slight shower of blood. I was thinking, oh my god...the idiot must have ruptured quite a few capillaries. He whined and said that it was still stuck, and tried to dig again...I had to shout again to ask him to blow his nose again.

I was so relieved to hear the little clink of plastic on the concrete floor. I then reprimanded him for doing such a foolish thing, and of course made an example to the rest of the class. Whew...it may seem like a small thing, but still...whew...

Glad nothing terrible happened.

====================================================================
Went with Mom to make new spectacles today...SGD$128

Collecting next Monday! So happy! Hahhaa...

Naughty Cakes...

I was walking around with Beth yesterday...and we spotted some terrible things lurking in a seemingly innocent bakery in Takashimaya's basement. Here are the NAUGHTY CAKES!

This is still considered TAME...can't say the same for the next one though...



CREAM STICK...you CANNOT be serious! It's practically vulgar lor...sheesh
(somebody said something about squeezing it, and the cream coming out...I'm not naming names though...hahaha..but I was out with only one person leh..hahah)

I was like...the name, the look, the cream inside...just so OFF can? It's a bakery, not a sex shop lor...but we had a good time laughing lah, and of course, attracted the appropriate stares for our trouble. Hahaha...

I bought new singlet! Cheap cheap cheap! SGD11.40 nia...but not from BKK. From FOX, so I think I will see someone wearing the same thing leh...hahaha, but I don't care. Looks nice right?
(and yes...I just gymmed. Must post flattering pic mah...LOL)

Bangkok was GREEAAAAAAT! (part2)

Ookkokok....time for PART 2!!!

So after the spa day, we were totally relaxed sia...and with smooth faces and bodies we headed back to the hotel. That time it was already 7pm BKK time you know...so it was dinner at KFC, and taxi back to the hotel.

The following day, it was Weekend Market day (I'm not sure about the spelling, but I think it's Chatuchuk Market?)!!! This place is damn big lah...cannot finish walking one, and it so damn bloddy hot, that everyone had perspiration dripping down their thighs...eeesh...gross... But I guess it's all part of the experience. Hahaha....flood you guys with pics of the sights and sounds there now I guess...here goes..

As you can see, there are a lot of interesting sights.
From top:
Clock tower,
supposedly busy street (everyone is inside, trying to escape the heat),
many cute animals for sale..some going for as low as 100baht!,
nice looking, but horrible to eat waffles,
very good pork noodle soup (30baht only!!!),
various finger food (all fried of course),
super deformed Man of Steel & Dark Knight.

We spent a total of two days in the market. The first day was to recce the area, then we compared purchases, then we went back the second day to whack the shops again! It was great fun man...I totally enjoyed myself. Sunday night was our final clubbing night, so we definitely made it count. The club we went to closed at 2am, so that's pretty early for a club, but we still made it work man...I had the most fun on Sunday night. Kudos to all who made it so fun!

Tried taking a picture of the club, but as you can tell, Nokia 6125 doesn't do well in low-light conditions. This was taken from the 3rd floor. Very cool. ^_^

Our final day was spent doing last minute shopping. Some of the friends we met there had not been to Platinum Mall yet, and when we found out, we were suitably stunned, and held our tongues in horror for a good minute or so. Of course, we recovered fairly quickly, and head out to rectify such a dastardy mistake. What did we do? Bring them there lor...hahaha

(We also shopped at MBK, but I neither found anything interesting, nor did I see any good buys. That is why you did not see me mention anything here. )

Big shopping mall...but so-so nia...

So on the last day, an entire ENTOURAGE (I think this is an appropriate word here) trudged down to Platinum Mall for shopping and lunch.

Trudging...

New found friends... (not forgetting the one taking the picture of course)

Before we knew it, it was time to head back to the hotel before we leaving for the airport liao...so sad...but it had to end lah, as is such with all good things in life. But I really did enjoy myself, and was glad to be on my way home to my sunny island...

Well, it was an excellent shopping trip. Maybe next time, I will actually try to do some sightseeing. I think the most non-shopping things I did here was the spa, and praying to the 四面佛 (four-faced Buddha). I did not take any pictures of the Buddha, cos I guess I just feel weird taking pictures like that, like not supposed to take like that you know?

=================================================================================

Now, let me present the MISCELLANEOUS PICS section. Here you will see random pics from the trip, most out of point, but nice nonetheless. ^_^

In Thailand, the 'Golden Arches' are truly GOLD!
Not the cheap, plasticky yellow stuff you see elsewhere.

Everyone who is tourist will have a similar picture. Bert, Marcus and myself insisted that as tourists, we had our tourist rights, and hence, it was totally ok for us to do such tourist-esque things! Sawadee khrub!

Very chao ah beng hor? But I tell you, after 3-4 hours of shopping, you'll be surprised the amount of comfort this position offers tired legs. Haha...we then understood why Ah Bengs love this position. It really is damn SHIOK! And damn Singaporean lah... LOL



As opposed to squatting, there is always just blatant sleeping.
Whatever works man, whatever works...

Pretty lights for your room?
But of course, you risk making it look like a red-light district.

Dorothy! We've reached the Emerald City! Let's go see the Wizard of Oz!

Somebody's deprived...

Wrath of God: Destroy all creatures in play. They cannot be regenerated.

Yes, someone brought MINI MAHJONG! We had to try it out lah...
I think I still owe somebody 12baht...hahaha...

beautiful...don't you think...
first night in BKK...

A rainbow...so lucky...
last day in BKK...

I will definitely go to Bangkok again if I get the chance! Totally enjoyed myself there. So happy. School's going to start soon...can't wait to see all my friends (both old and new) again! Yay!!! Exciting!

PS: Here are some heartfelt thanks to some of the people who impacted me on this trip

BJ - You know I was so apprenhensive about going on this trip with someone I totally did not know. But I totally enjoyed your company throughout! I had a lot of fun! Seeya in school man! Cheers!

PB - I am glad that we went of this trip together. Thanks for asking me, and organising it. ^_^

Vi - thanks. ^_^

Aeron, Lionel and Dan - it was super fun meeting you guys. I had a blast man. Totally enjoyed your company. And Dan, you dance like an animal...heh... See you all in school. Remember, if you need help, we're here for you (at least I definitely am lah...hahaha)

Mish - it was so good seeing you during the trip. Thank you for showing us around when you could, and being such great company. The guys loved you of course...hahaha

Marcus and Bert - glad we went on this trip together. getting reacquainted was important...been too long already. Catch up again soon! ^_^

Bangkok was GREEAAAAAAT! (part1)

I came back from the land of a thousand smiles on Monday evening! I had a blaast!!! Here is the trip in three simple steps:

1. SHOP
2. EAT
3. CLUB

(just rinse and repeat everyday can liao... ^_^)

Now I give you the long version ok?

So we set off for Bangkok via TigerAir...it wasn't too bad lah, still tolerable. Just take it as a super long bus ride lor...then not so bad already. I played Magic on the plane with Vincent, PB had his Heroes of Might and Magic 5 and Commander In Chief, Bert had a book, and I think Marcus and Bing Jia either watched or slept.

I really do not like our budget airport...it looks damn flimsy lah. Jun (Vincent's friend) who sent us off at the airport said that it looked like if any plane flew too close to the roof, it would take the top off...hahaha

Check out the roof...looks flimsy right? Like galvanised zinc lor...
Like queuing for the bus in a an interchange right? Not cool at all lor...it so did not generate the 'this-is-exciting-that-i-am-going-overseas-via-plane' feeling...I guess the budget terminal just sorta kills that excitement.

And they did even have all the ATMs for the major banks there lor...I had to take the shuttle bus all the way back to T2 to draw money from the ATM there...sheesh. Anyway, we touched down in BKK safely, and took a cab to our hotel.

This was our hotel, the PJ Watergate Hotel. I remember seeing it from the tiny alley, and thinking it was one of them sleazy type establishments, but when we turned into the driveway, and saw how big it was, and well-lit and actually looked clean and safe, we all breathed easy. Hahaha...for 5 nights, plus buffet breakfast (as seen above) thrown in, all for SGD120, really not bad sia... ^_^

So Mish was there already, so she insisted that I meet her for dinner...and I had to drag all the guys along as well...we went to Suan Lom Night Bazaar for dinner and some light shopping. It was really great to see Mish there...so happy! She actually got ulterior motive wor...she dumped 3kg worth of skirts with me lor..cos she ran out of space...DISGUSTING GIRL! Grrr...but I made her treat me yesterday already, so that's okay.

Dinner was only 100baht (SGD$4.30), and we all shared different dishes, so that was a blast. The guys all agreed that Mish was a doll, and that she was really entertaining...LOL. Well, she is quite the charmer. ^_^ I bought my first purchase for the trip! A pair of resort-ish feel bermudas! 300baht (SGD$12.70)! Not bad at all... ^_^

Second day was Platinum Mall straight away!

Fashion Mall...what more could you ask for?

So Mish mentioned that you could take forever to finish going through the mall, but that was because it had mostly girls stuff. Fortunately for us guys (6 of us in total), it was easier to sail through the shops, cutting our shopping time by around half, I think.

All the happy people...this is the after effects of retail therapy! LOL...

By the end of Day 2 - 9 TOPS!
(Still got some slippers not shown here)

I was trying my best to stretch the baht that Mom gave me...but in the end, that amount only lasted till the end of the third day...hahaha. More on that later. ^_^ We went clubbing at night...VERY VERY FUN, and so affordable too! 200baht(SGD$8.40) for cover, inclusive of 2 drinks somemore wor!

The next day, we went to Kao Shan for abit of jalan-jalan...fairly interesting lah, but nothing spectacular. According to Mish, we should've gone at night...and that would've been where we would've seen all the interesting sights and sounds of that backpackers' paradise. ^_^ So after lunch, Vincent and I decided to embark on our spa adventure! Mish recommended Chan's Spa, but the map she drew us did not do justice to the actual location.

What looked like a tiny road, was actually a main EXPRESSWAY can? So Vince and I thought we could walk there, but we ended up crossing the main expressway, and over the Chao Phraya River!

This is us crossing the expressway, and over looking the gigantic river! ^_^ It was quite exciting...heh

So in the end, we couldn't find the place, and tried to hail a cab. Guess what? We managed to get a 黑车 (Black Car, meaning dishonest/shady cab). The bugger looked so honest, and even put up a huge show of trying to locate Chan's Spa for us. In the end, he drove us to some deserted place, and tried to get us to go into this disgusting place with neon lights. It was called Spa Luna...ugh..take us for fools lor...I just gave him 4obaht for his 'trouble' and left the bugger. In the end, I called Mish, and reconfirmed the location, and finally found the place. It wasn't too bad...we reached the place at 2pm, and the packages we took cost us 2100baht (SGD$88.90) each. 3hr spa treatment, plus 1 hr deep cleansing facial! Woot!

I was massaged with oil, steamed in a steam room (it was more like a steam box lah...), scrubbed all over, and finally bubbled in a nice bath. After all that, we were served excellent tea, and had a super long facial! Haha...damn shiok sia... In all honesty, I did feel like a piece of meat. Rubbed with oil, steamed with lemongrass (there was a minty smell all the time, Vince said it was eucalyptus), and seasoned with salts...LOL. By the time we were out, it was dinnertime, and time to head back to the hotel. ^_^

Who needs toilet signs, when u have cool statues like these?

====================================================================

okok, i listen to hongxuan...do it in parts...better...too tiring to try to complete the whole thing...

Bangkok here I come...

Leaving tomorrow evening...will be back on the 24th (Monday) at midnight-ish kinda time. Hope I have fun...

lightbulb - *T/D-ing*

I was in the MRT when I had this realisation. I was just thinking about Spencer and The Hive, and as thought processes go, I started to think about my Wing Commander when I was in OCS. Specifically, I was thinking I would still greet him 'Sir' if I ever saw him. Then I was thinking what I would say to him if he asked me to not call him that.

I would say, "but Sir, I know, love and respect you in that context mah..." I realised that this would be the same reply I would give my CO (from when I was in unit).

Then I realised that I should not have gotten so annoyed at my friends in NUS, who knew me from Guards. Cos' like me, they only know me in that context mah...no other...so naturally, they would refer/relate to me in that manner. They know no other way...lol...

Jialat sia, I took so long to reach this realisation...slow sia...
