so tumblr becomes all the craze just when i stopped using it. my life is full of shitty timing:
-when i got pokemon gold, crystal came out -when i stopped aggressive inline skating, roller-blading got popular thanks to some stupid cartoon show -when i realised there’s actually a street inline hockey team, i’m too old to join -every damn bus i take leaves right in front of my eyes...

hello human beings.
As you can see, I have stopped updating. So here’s the quickest update I can afford right now: HELP! Someone get me the hell out of this planet and bring me to a place where I can sit still.
Oh yea, this is also my 100th post and I felt obliged to post something significant. I’ll think of something soon…

is my tumblarity level: the greatest blogging gimmick ever. Sorry to have kept you guys waiting.
Wednesday Went out with the ‘Pastry Chef’ and endured the toils of the feminine productivity buster: shopping. It was at this point that I realized all the fashion shows my sister forced me into watching paid off. Ate quite a bit of food here and there. This day also proved that I had...

forgot this bit
Was skimming through Yahoo and there was this research that mentions how ones picture on Facebook determines the persons personality. Really? Is that really important? I guess it is true since, nowadays, ‘personality’ is another word for ‘looks’ and how much money and statu someone has. I mean, it’s a little bit funny how people are still getting more interested in...
read this covering your eyes
Hey, if you’re optimistic, don’t bother reading this post. People keep asking me: “Hey, are you alright?” or “Whats wrong?” or “Whats the time?” and I say to them the same thing all the time: “Same time as it was this time yesterday” and “I’m fine”. So there, stop asking me. Please?
Anyway, I should’nt deviate...
work day number 3
Just got back from work. This time, I did something different: washing dishes, the very chore I avoid at home has come back to haunt me. Anyway, after doing what I did, I gained a deeper understanding on restaurant cleanliness (and you won’t like it).
Washing the dishes in the kitchen with some Chinese Radio station playing pop songs was as irritating as Americans and their unending thirst...
holiday blues, blacks and what have you
is exactly what I’m going through right now. Sheer boredom with a pinch of cynicism and here I am at the brink of sanity. Just got back from helping Kids Camp at church and I already feel old. At least I got a part-time job waiting tables. Working everyday except for Sundays and Mondays: the two days I hate the most. Well, better busy than dead. I can proudly say with sarcasm that I’m...
sunny daze
Heres a little ‘sonnet’ I thought of in the shower:
Walking home, sunshine all around cease to please me, I look down
Never been this busy yet so bored With all this time to afford
My mind is happy while my heart is sad Wishing I was not born this mad
If I could change anything for this day What else my friend, could I say
I would exchange all my sunny afternoons For a night with...
things to do which i might end up not doing just...
Be more proficient in Malay.
Learn a respectable amount of French.
Get a job.
Go urban exploring (pretty hard to do so here in Singapore).
Go exploring.
Expand my guitar-ism.
Get better at the ukulele.
Learn another musical instrument.

Exercise more (lose that 10 kilos I gained from ‘exam-stress’).
Eat less.
Get published in a magazine...
finished; almost
Greetings my unfaithful readers, looks like the ‘O’ Levels are finished (almost)! This trial by fire (pardon the cliche) revealed a lot about myself and other things that enlightened me about how the world works: -Coffee is good in moderation. -Don’t drink coffee excessively. -Doing the same thing twice does not give different results. -Coffee is good in moderation.
But more...

Is pretty a horrible timing especially when you managed a 9.40+/- for 2.4km in secondary 1. Well, there’s always a retest. But I doubt I would take it. Anyway, I don’t feel so tired nowadays and I’m almost done with my syllabus. I’m also trying advance study so that I can start my bloody revisions earlier. My March holidays was also burnt; with me going to school everyday...
'O(h shit....)' levels
Okay, It’s midnight now and it’s E-Learning Day, that means, no school right? Wrong. I still have to go to school later to complete some project. I just realized E-learning stood for Emergency Learning. I always thought the ‘E’ was there just to make it sound ‘hip and modern’; like how every damn product out that is technologically advanced must have...

Okay, I’m updating again. It turns out my Dad reads this. Hi Pa.
Anyway, I forgot what I wanted to post again. It keeps on happening. If I just squeeze the contents of the day into this little post, then this would just be any other normal blog that no one really reads unless he/she has a lot of friends: something that I feel that I lack, or rather in denial with regards to it. But...
another post
Wow, it looks like I’m posting again. Well, school was as usual today. I got a lot of Potassium Iodide on my hand and it got yellow-ish for a really long time, despite constant scrubbing. Lets go back to the old format shall we? 14th February ” Valentine’s Day “:
What better date to chose for a birthday party than on this special day in question? A friend of mine made that...

optional entry
I have recently sought comfort within myself by forfeiting as much external disturbances as I can. In other words, away from others. I am okay now that many read this but there is always the risk. For the curious, I am not depressed or anything; I would just get those emotions to bugger off. But I am tired of altercations within myself. In other words, I am tired of who to please and always trying...

Alright, aside from not updating on my church camps and my school camp(s) and my OBS camp, I also missed out on my laptop being sent for repairs a few days ago (monday to be exact). Once again, I am sorry; one can only apologies so many times. I also failed in the writing competition; only reaching 3 or 4 pages. But that was because I really had limited time last month. Do not fret though, there...

I know I have not been updating for quite a while, and I won’t be until the 6th of December. So be rest assured that I will update then. Apologies for those anticipating frequent updates. What you can do is check out my older posts or the links I placed on the right. Oh yea, before I forget, I am halfway through writing 2 ‘articles’ on the other side. So that’s another...
meh
I promised to myself to post about something today. So, I shall. As most of the imaginary readers know, I have a weeks grace until the next camp. So far, withing this approximate week, I have gotten myself a new phone that does not turn off every 15 seconds or turns blank when I tap it a little bit. It is a Sony Ericsson; which to my friends at school is a sign of defeat since I kept insisting...
busy being busy
If you have read my older posts, you would have noticed my camping streak. To keep in par with tradition, I shall update you, the reader (who the hell else?), of what has been happening since my previous post; which will hopefully explain me not updating for a substantial amount of time.

For NCC Air purposes, training team appointment holders and the aero-modelling team had to...
empty house
As of Sunday, I have had this house all to myself; with the exception of my maid. The good thing is that I can finally watch my shows on T.V and that there is more food to eat. The downside? : No sister to argue with, no Mom to debate with, no dad to discuss with and no brother to be teased by. No food can fill that emptiness.
Anyway, on a lighter note, old friends and new killed time with...
WatchAs you can see, my holidays have been very boring; and these are the kind of videos I end up watching. Sad eh? Anyway, I realised that I may have a minor case of bipolar disorder; but that’s just an assumption.
two shows that end with 'show'
Here is probably my first list. However, there are only 2 items. Well, what the heck. Anyway, below are 2 soundtracks for 2 great shows. There are a lot more though, but I love these two. This is the reason why I hate mainstream music nowadays; because it’s all nasally emotional boys or people selling their bodies. Where’s the music in that?

WatchOkay, to some, this video might be creepy; and don’t worry, I’m no fan of Satan. However, this video has an interesting point of view. For book worms out there, it is something Neil Gaiman, Edgar Allan Poe and H .P Lovecraft would write about. Just watch it till the end. Also, if you play Warhammer 40k, you will realise there’s a voice similarity of Satan to the Eldar. Yea,...
Okay, so this is my first post on my new MacBook and it’s awfully flexible. I got the new version with the button-less track pad. The picture qualities have more than doubled too .Everything on this MacBook is second to none except the word processor which is rather plain as compared to Microsoft Word. I also got this MacBook just in time since I need something to type my stories on for the...
