Kang Xi Lai Le(28FeB)
Topic1:Taking intimate and revealing photos
more and more people are turning into camwhores
guys, gals, whoever!
flashin boobs, getting into sexy and arousing positions
getting the "Unwanted attention"
Having this belief:
Take all these pictures when I am young, when i have the figure
and not after I give birth or get old...
What's right and wrong?
You shall decide yourself :)

another topic:
Guys who love their BODY alot (means they are the WELL-BUILT type)
are often rumored to have small D*cks(fact or myth?)
Guys who are small and skinny, have Huge ones instead...
Here's the comparison...
Skinny guys having the durian paste size and buffed guys having the Peanuts
*No offence to anyone k!

Thoughts @ de playground

How I wish I can go back in time to change some stuff...
But it's still ok that I cant now.
Cos right now, I just wanna live a life without any regrets...
Maybe not fully, but i m tryin :)

Tuition Updates
kid doesnt seem to understand after I explained with so so many examples.
Luckily, he got it before I ended de tuition session...
I really hope I can help pull up his grades...
cos right now his basic conversion from km to m or mm to cm is already so CUI
but I believe more practice and coachin should be able to help...
at least a little bahz...
My other tuitee (my cousin) scored a A1 for his maths common test!
Happy *Jump around in joy*
Great Job!

FYI, she takes yrs to place her token... :)
Mum and brother joined in de game as i continued with my report...

with their " I BLOCK YOU... YOU BLOCK ME" lines...
a good start isnt it?

DEF dinner @ Marina Square Spageddies
Personnel involved : Weihan, Abby , Jacq and myself
This was wat we ORDERED :) *Yummy!
Image
Here's what I ate!!!
-->Soft Shell Crab Spagehtti with Abbraditit (i dunno how to spell it *pout*)
CRAP!!!
Image

*Jacq didnt manage to use her COLLECTIONS (coupons and discount vouchers)...
and all of them are expiring soon (latest one is 3 months later lol)
LEt's eat!!!

Follow-up @ Gelare
Abby and Jacq managed to FLIRT (that's what abby said) with the crew and
made them agree to make the last BIG waffle for us to share.
We had all 4 topppinggsss!!! *slurp* *lick* *drool*
Image

And the whipped cream was given separately... How odd ... :)
Image
Thanks for organizing.
Thanks for sharing.
So much updates...
Yet some include breakups which I m so ignorant about...
Luckily I know now, if not if i bring out the wrong names during talks
I dunno how tense the atmosphere can get...
Just wanna say "GAMBATTE" to all out there...
those who lost their love : You have learnt something. It's time to move on.
those who are still searchin' : JIA YOU! AJA AJA FIGHTING!!!
those who are already in love : Be contented. Simple is bliss.
*wishin all de best for my friends and family... :)

Random : Jacq is a MAMBO girl!

I waited 10 minutes for my Fishball noodeee...
Business too good huh...
Place : West Coast Food court

First time, BanBan(chihuahua) went to lean against my dad
and it's AUTOMATICALLY!!!
something's quite wrong...
(Take a closer look below)

Adobe Flash and Photoshop Course
-kinda disappointing
Reason: Although we did manage to learn some basic functions, however,
I was thinking we could have learnt more if they had a more organized way of teaching
and if they can improve their communication means.
No mics.... Voice not clear....PAce too fast.... not enough instructors to monitor and coach.
Still got room for improvement.
Although I whine about stuff above, I still feel grateful to them for teachin ... Thanks :)
At least I learnt something during recess... :)

Chen Jian Bin (Mediacorp artiste) and the Chen LEi (imitation)
* the former made a joke that I have heard so many times b4 ...
Here goes :

I have a friend who drives a Taxi.
One day he picked up this Japanese who wanted to head to the airport.
On the way there, the Jap tapped his friend
"HEY Look! that's a Toyota! Made in Japan. Very Fast!"
(the car zoomed past)
2 minutes later...
"Hey Look! That's a Mitsuibishi(dunno how to spell)! Made in Japan. Very Fast!"
(the car zoomed past)
"Hey look! That's a Honda! Made in JApan. Very Fast! "
(the car zoomed past)

Finally they arrived at the airport and the Jap guy looked at the meter...
It says $30 ++.
"So Expensive!!! "
and his friend, the taxi driver replied,
" Meter made in JAPAN... VERY FAST!!! "
~End~

New Tuition Assignment
Details : Sec 2 N(T) Boy
Subject: Maths
Monthly Allowance from assignment: $ 400? (8 sessions of 2 hrs)
That's probably a bit close to normal PA Salary of 600 bucks!!!
Tuition has been proven to be one of the best full-time and part time job around :)

His mum told me she had to work and she couldnt really look after her son.
So he's been loitering around after school...
Failing to complete his homework or even revise any of them.
Sometimes I guess we humans should ponder if we are doing the right thing.
When we ALL THOUGHT it's the right thing.
Going after all that money that is SUPPOSED to make our life better.
Giving him the material needs and missing all the others.
Money, how much of it is enough?
When would one be contented?
Personally, I would say for me, I would give up money for my family.
For my relationships, my ties.
Money which are gone can be re-earned.
The feelings and relationships that are gone will be GONE...
Really gone...
*thinking of my grandma* : (

8Days Issue
Is it Joanne Peh?
cant really remember it manz...
but what the article was about I guess I can remb a lil'
she mentioned this:
To her, love is much more important than career.
What's more than having someone to share your happiness,
for you to lean on when u are down or tired at the end of the day.
What's life when you are at the top and there's not a single person to share it with you.
I totally agree... Cos I mentioned it before!!!

can u leave me alone?
the damn fuckin sore throat...
the stupid and irritatin' ulcer...
it's making me feel so MOODY and UNWELL!
missed NewStyle dance classes becos ....
I am coughin' like it's FREE...
Damn... I need to get well soon and GROOVE again!!!
Thinking of signing up for Ian's lockin course :)
*would I be overloaded?

Lotsa Misses
girl, i miss you...
hope the cramps arent too serious and disturbin for you...
Hang on there! Sayang sayang :)

Hall Dance Competition
It's finally over!
Although it didnt really pay off in the end (cos we din win any placing)
but we won the hearts of some(I assume)
and of course de applause of many others.
Truthfully speakin' ,
I didnt feel really happy during trainings becos of certain stuff...
1. Attendance wasnt always full
2. Trainings are conducted so late (but i do understand it's becos the others stay in campus)
3. People are always turning up late
4. Myself not being able to catch certain steps (but i tried on my own)
5. Joseph not being really dedicated (can see that he doesnt practise after PRACTICE)
*that's enough whining from my part

However I am pleased with certain stuff too
1. Putting all the differences aside and coming as a team
2. Cindy trying so hard to get me into the team
3. Joseph going to JP to get the wristbands for us guys
4. Free bubble teas (Meiyee & Edelina)
5. Learning new dance moves (abit girly though)
6. Getting to stay back in hall and meet up with old friends
7. Hall 4's still my second family

*Random*
Girlfriend applied the makeup above my eyelids before the performance
and it looked.... SO WRONG!!!
the glitter effect was OVer too! with one small bottle of glitter on ONE's head!
will update pictures when i receive them from Edelina :)

Thanks girl
Special thanks to my baby for her mini SURPRISE (although i kind of suspected)
and accompanying + supporting me for the dance competition.
I returned Surprises too !!! :)
*wink*

AB214 Quiz
Pretty hard and I was feelin' DUMB
Question 1 : the main '______' regarding Pipeline theory and circular model...?
That was 3 MARKS!
I only wrote like 2 lines...cos i was wonderin' WHAT THE FUCK IS PIPELINE THEORY!!!
and when i peeped around...
OH GOSH!
I saw PARAGRAPHS on my friends' sheets...
SiRong, Doreen... That's scary....!!!

De simple wish of de day : to just pass the quiz... 5/10 or 10/20 :)

Regarding the previous 2 entries
Things have been settled...
So no one shall kick a big fuss over it k...
Love triumphs... : )
Smile my baby... Sorry.

Dinner @ Rice Table (cuppage)
the highlight was 2 mini-cockroaches on the table!
and weilong giving his SPEECH which caused a commotion and of cos, laughter...
What Buddy Abigail commented :

Weilong is always so good at entertaining us, i guess it’s just the way he speaks, he never have anything to hide, the emotions are all written on his face, when he’s happy or when he doesn’t feel like talking.

Miss out the later part of the gathering cos totally, yes TOTALLY shagged out.
Dance trainings(late ones) can really kill!!!
the evidence?
Sick already loh...Enuf?
When's DEF turn?Abby, Jacq and Edlyn?!

Limin's on papers!!!
Young Auditor... Lol
maybe she can be a model after getting her face on the papers?

Certified out-of-tune singer
Verified by Girlfriend Sarah Ong...
but she still loves the way I sing though
Guess I m too animated.

MOVIES CORNER
Sweeny Todd(starring Johnny Depp)
didnt really appreciate this musical.
Same as my tuitee, we thought it's some sort of Horror show
but in the end it turned out to be some BLOODY show with MEAT PIES.
GF enjoyed it, at least it seemed like to me. : )

P.S I LOVE U
indeed a very touchin' show.
And there's lotsa learning points too.
But of course that varies according to individual.
AT LEAST,it did to me.
GF was weepin' and she blamed me for makin her watch such a sad show. *Pout*

Ikea Trip
Cheesecake and meatballs and chicken wings!!!
Ectasy! Orgasm ! (*opps* sorry for the language)

Hall Dance @ 2000H 21st Feb SRc
finally, it's showtime!
All the hard work...
All the late nights...
All the sweat...
And all the laughter...
Let's feel it altogether :)
C'mon and suppooort!

*Random*
Gera asked me if I would filter stuff when I blog.
and de answer?
Yeah indeed I would.
I dunno who else is readin it.
Maybe the main character in the stories I tell.In the critisms I made...
Maybe this blog should just be PRIVATE.

Feel like wearing so loh...
Wan everyone to THINK i got a date ...
LOL ...pathetic right? And i gotta admit...that's my life : (

*Abby thanks for ur mini-GOODIE bag
*Geraldine thanks for ur ONE ferrero rocher
*Val thanks for ur lollipop

if only u can give more ,
not expect more
cos i cant feel anything from u...

Ab214

and i aint even smilin truely...
that's me i guess...

Java class
nothing much besides being late...
and programming is really fun for me...
Tutor SMOKED out too fast today... ROFL

doctor throwing glances at me
the female NUH doctor stared at me (my mum told me that when we were at AlexandraHospital)
Mum said I looked so DAO (cos i din even look at her for a moment)
it's kind of funny lah...
maybe she's waiting for me to say HI...
cos she was the one who rendered her help when my brother collapsed that time in the hospital...
Thanks still...
Hope grandpa and auntie recovers soon...real soon...

if only u showed some care ....
for me...

fashionista or spendthrift?
a DOPE cap that costs $130?!
erm... i m not that crazy when it comes to spending
although it does look nice...
and it's limited edition..(only 100 pcs)
somehow, i feel broke and broken...

tuition cancelled
natasha cancelled tuition
cos she had to send her mum to Korea...
FYI, she's been to more places overseas than I do...
her family is much well-off than me..and she's only SEC 4...

Kung-Fu Dunk
quite hilarious
but i still feel CJ7 is nicer
jay looks 'not handsome' in the show... (some say he's not handsome in the first place)
dunks are nice and effects well-done
however, CJ7 teaches me more stuff than kung-fu dunk.
and it reaches deeper into my heart too... KINSHIP...
overall rating : 7/10

itchin to dance
wantin to groove

Board-game SEQUENCE
it's fun and addictive
gotta get one for my family :)
FAMILY GAME!!! a great bondin tool...

de Second Visit
as promised... (not becos of HONGBAO k)
uncle shocked me with the 'throwing down' of door key from ur balcony
guess it's not really troublesome to go down to open de door?or maybe it is...

ur brother...he's much more skinnier than i do.

uncle began his lecture(he called his speech a lecture loh)
with ur brother and me as the only 2 audience.
from how ur cousins network during reunion.
and how i cant CONVINCE him that there is a job outside for my specialisation.
maybe becos my cousins are young or still studyin, we dont do networkin during reunions or gatherings...
we have fun... joke around and bond together.
a very different way from yours i know..
and not that i mean networking is not good.

I probably seemed dumb in front of ur dad and brother.
cos i cant give STATISTICS to ur dad for my specialisation.
i tried.. to go against him and it wasnt really successful...
even with ur bro's help...
it seems like he's pretty adamant on the things he believed in, ie the way the outside world works now from his past experience.
I do know i m still a novice and i m learning and picking up stuff
from the teachings he is giving for free.

maybe i cant find a job when i graduate?
maybe i cant earn $20 K?
maybe i cant be on the same level as compared to ur bro
maybe i m really dumb since i dun have so much general knowledge
or maybe i m just not good enough for u in his eyes...

STUDY WHEN U STUDY... understAND?! (he said that to me...)

but what i know ...
how much you are worth, u can define it yourself
if i dun have as much general knowledge i will start readin more...
if not i will listen more...
whichever way is faster and more efficient
if i m not good, i practise harder...till i master it.
i know i will make my life better
not just better, but happier...
*the latter is more impt*

a sports car is not a must
a bungalow or condo is not a must
a yatcht is not a must

so what is a must...?
the spirit of never giving up (even if i fall, i will stand up again)
my family..
health and happiness...
and someone to share it with me.
that's for me... what about you?


my FUTURE
wondering what longlong will be doing?
somehow, there are like so many routes that i m not focused.
or in fact these 'many' routes lead to a final route?

a system analyst? a programmer? a database adminstrator?
an IT consultant? Software developer?
or Teacher / P.E teacher?
or a businessman? (when i got the capital)

sometimes
we need to slow down and ponder
why do we work so hard for money?
so that we get promoted
and we can get a chance to work harder for more money?
so what's money for?
to buy happiness?
people sacrifice integrity, relationships and alot more for money...
how many times has it been justified?

::: as the stress piles up :::

Define Success
1. Being rich?
-> Define rich? 1million enough?2million enough?
2. Having a happy family with just a stable income?

In life, we aspire to be great figures.
Sometimes we succeed sometimes we dont.
And all it matters is probably the journey and not the end
being at the top with no one to share your happiness
isnt that a sad thing?
how much is sufficient?
alot of times, we need to do the following:
learn and re-learn about being contented.
and that makes us happy doesnt it?
live to be happy and be happy in order to live : )

de CNY mood
have been feelin down lately
really hoping someone will understand how i feel.
and probably how my family feel.
times have been tough
and tides are rough.
i m sad this season cos they dun seem to be in very good health
but i m glad that they can still spend the joyous season together
as one family
it's only at these times
that u feel money isnt really that impt (besides to pay hospital fees)
what matters most...
the bonds, the loves, the ties.
and the smile on each of their faces ...

fallin' sick again...
who the heck will give a damn about it right?
sneeze all u can
and cough all u can...

::: de familiar lonely feelin' :::
the inner thoughts

being in ur house,facing him wasnt easy.
and you can feel it.you know it.
trying my best to go along with wadever he said.
even when it means that i have to put my life at risk.
and at the end of the day,
he doesnt seem to understand.

i hope you do instead.
cos what matters most to me is how u think.
the tears,
they will go away...
but if u create a scar in my heart
it will be there for a very long time...
and i will be back at square one...
a closed bottle.

all that i have done.
all that i have put in.
all the love i have given to this point.
i dunno if it's enough.
i have told u wat u should know
if i were to disappear someday,
i dun need you to rmb me.
I just wan to be able to tell myself
i have given my all.
and my love.
and the fact that i loved.
but u need not love me the way i love u.

his remarks... his comments... his words...
u may not know how hurting it can get.
maybe i have made the wrong decision to offer my help
but i didnt regret it.
Becos it's my Decision.
and, baby
i dun need alot of things
I just need your love... ur unconditional love
i do admit.
i may compare, with my past relationship
but i have told u i still got lots to learn
and we can learn slowly together in our story.

i admit the fact that he said we came from different backgrounds
we have different values
and so?
which one is the same?
dont you think so?
i know it's tough on ur side.facing him.facing me.
being 'forced' to do things the way he wants it.
being unable to voice out ur thoughts.

i know u want me to go over for reunion dinner
i cant.
if u do understand why after all my explanation.

after 2 yrs.
i found you.
slowly and slowly i can feel him tearing us apart.
affecting and influencing u with all the negative stuff
" i m a clubber"
how long does he know me...
and how much does he know about me
dun join him in tearing me apart please.
heal me, not hurt me...
u said u would protect me...
cos i would protect u...
i know i m a guy...
but i need assurance too.

it aches in my head
it aches in my heart
and i dunno when this will all end

if one day,
u have to leave, tell me...
and tell me
it's ur decision , not his.
I will respect ur decision.

loving is not about loving a perfect person
but an imperfect person perfectly...

::: it's tearin' inside & who do i turn to :::

Monday, February 4, 2008

it's hard and painful to bottle it all inside...
and i really did feel better after i told u.
It's not ur fault...
We all learn from our mistakes dont we?

why cant things be kept simple
all i want and all i need
it's there and
i need to feel them...

AB214 Presentation Performance
Last presenter...
Topic : How should teachers go about discipling their students?
Time that i m allowed to present cum QnA = 7mins
Total time I took : 13 mins (* 7 mins presentation and 6mins QnA)
No sense of time isnt it?
I felt more calm than the last presentation
Looking at the video makes me feel the last presentation was betta...
Still rolling my eyes and using 'ACTUALLY' alot...
it's a habit i need to kick, I guess...

BL244
Ended so early!!! 3 ++ when it's supposed to end at 1630 H...
PRof Tan claimed it's our CNY present...
It's tough keeping awake in his lesson lah...
I m always strugglin' ...
whereas
the Ah Tiong girl in my group wants to 'feel' involved in every thing...
Participation = 12 / 10 already can?
Sometimes, it's just non-sensical comments...
Talkin fer the sake of talkin, isnt it?

de stupid 179 driver
didnt even stop at the bus stop...
signalled to us that there are buses behind...
Guess what?
the buses came after 5-10 minutes...
and it came in pairs(With 179A at de back)
WTF...
we boarded 179 instead of 179A (it didnt stop too)
stupid DRIVER!!!

Aunt
lookin' at her state makes me wanna treasure my legs even more
walking seems so easy and effortless to most of us
while it proved to be so energy-depleting and tough for her...
who stands by u when u fall
are your family and real friends...
people who really care...
Yuwen(cousin's ex gf) came... with her mum...
Aunt, you are never alone k...So dun ever think of givin' up at any point of time.

Grandpa
the cells removed during his operation has been confirmed to be ....
CANCER-ous
so he has to go through another operation to remove them entirely this time...
grandma, please bless him ...
