Din spend much of my time today doing something constructive. But .. i did re-structure my site to make it look better and add alittle stuff here and there^^. I will be releasing Project 158 pretty soon. Its something pretty cool which i collected and i thought it might be fun when it was revealed. =D
O's and A's are coming out fast. I suddenly realise time past very very fast and much of what i have been enjoying is coming to a close soon. Well at least i have a good few months of relaxation. Hope everyone do well ~~~

Men .... look at the time! My energizer battery on my back is gonna pop out. Today is an eventful day at church. I carried alot of stuffs here and there as usher and i had a pretty hard time standing and listening to the sermon since i am outside of the lobby.
The cool thing is my friend talk to me and i am glad that i shared with him what i need to share, and apologise and clear up the stupid mess that i have make. I shan't elaborate. Just wanna say that sometimes using yr head and yr heart is not enuff. This is the time where u need to submit to God to let him do the work for u. I am just glad that at least he got some answers to life's question. I am not an expert on that subject. But Jesus is ! I will do as much as i can to change the world as what i have told my friend. ha! Great dream huh?

Is my typo's dat bad? -_____-
The start of today was very horrible. I had cell group at 11.30 and and i woke up at 11. It was a nightmare. I was still in a daze and i quickly phone Mom to tell her the news. She firmly asked me to find a way down *army style/tone*. I was kinda grouchy in the morning and was very very angry at my little handphone for not waking me up. It was after awhile then i realise the handphone alarm was not turned on. I was like !@#@$!@#@#%! And i gotta meet Xiu Wen and bring here there. I am supposed to be at Boon Lay at 11 am. Goodness! I was brushing my teeth and answering alot of calls. I began to make backup arrangements with them b4 i grab my stash and head down for a cab. The cab was a lifesaver and also a pocket-burner. The amazing thing was i never reach boon lay in 20 mins from Chinatown. The sad thing is this comes for a prize .. of which i have to pay about 14 times my regular fare to reach Boon lay. Sad.
I reached Cell group at 11.40 and I was kinda grouchy. haaa cant help it ... dunno y. Everyone see me also dun dare to make fun of me liao. I settled down and composed myself .... while saying a small prayer to Lord to ask for peace. Eventually, i was composed enough to lead games ... which turns out quite ok.
Cell group was good as usual. Juliet join us again! But she cant teach me guitar cos she rush off after cg. I wanna asked xiu wen but she also left early to accompany Ken n' Alex for service. Wan Yi was too buzy to teach me. So i began to strum a lonely tune to myself. haaa. Sad. I din learn anything new today. But Wan Yi did pass me guitar notes which prove quite useful as it allows me to explore further.
I watched " I do, I do" with Chong. Xiu wen and Ken cant come so left me and Chong. For one thing as i have learned long ago, i never really supported Singapore movie productions because of their low-standard of plot. Well this show is supposed to be a romantic comedy. Jian Xiang and Janet seem to like the 2 shows alot. Xiu Wen too. Tat's y chong and me decidied to give it a try ... judging by the good remarks from all of them. As i watched on the show, i tried to remind myself its a good show and lower my expectaion as usual. Somehow, this show really doesn't seem very nice to me. The humour-element in this show isn't really impressive .... and i tried very hard to laugh. hahah and ok i did laugh at some parts. Maybe at the tuition class part .. that was abit funny. The rest just makes me " .... " all the way. Well, Chong seem to like the movie alot. Cos i caught him laughing his head off alot. Well at least one of us is enjoying the show. The good thing is at least the ending wasn't as bad as Kung Fu hustle. I seem to being losing interest in chinese movies. Well, all i could say is this movie is okay but not worth my 8.50. Not even 7.50 if its on weekday. I wanna watch Million dollar baby!!! but now i am broke. Sigh
Anyway its not the movie that makes the day. Its the fellowship and lessons learned that makes the day. As each day past, i seem to be getting sadder. I am kinda worried for A's and my preparation for army and about how little time i am left to do the things i wanna do.
Sigh~

y am i tired everytime i reach home? How can ?? I go army how!? GRrrr
I got a new army letter address to Jason Ng. When i saw the letter i was abit shock and abit excited. My Pes status was demoted from B to E. That means i am not required to go Tekong for BMT! I just need to do simple admin work. When i went home to read the letter again, i realised something is amiss. The letter inside the envelope does not have my name and NIRC. Not as what is written on the envelope. It was another guy call Ng Wen Cheng. Good they send me a letter to tell me Ng Wen Cheng has now become a Pes E member with effect from 2/2/2005. I don't know why i am writing this in my blog. But the stale fact remanins that if i don't get this sorted out in time, i will ahve a whole rubbish-load of possible admin problems to clear on my day of enlistment. That is ********** . lol
Well i went to SAJC open house today. In the morning 11 am. It turns out everyone i am meeting is late. -___- and guess what ? haha some of them even actually plannned to meet late ............ and eneded up reaching there even later. Girls girls girls! Always girls. Evil are these breed of people. 1 fine bright sunny day i shall bring a hammer and *konk* every girl i meet. hehe. All out war against girls!!!!!!!!!!!
The games, food were very expensive. The price was astonishing. 1 can drink cost 2 bucks. 1 packet food cost 4 bucks. 1 slice of pizza plus 1 can of drink cost 4 bucks. [ That's all i ate for lunch!] Most of the time i am lookign out for my juniors, My classmates, alll the familiar faces that i know. Lol poor Chong had to stay at a corner all the time cos he doesn't know any of my frens. Most of the time, we went for a stroll, to look at different stalls and also slack at one corner of the SC [ Student Centre]. Well you couln't play much games there acutually. Everything is all so ex. Yr 10 bucks ticket will run out very fast in time. So that explains y we al lslack so much. Wormz has probably wake up on the wrong side of the bed and appeared very grouchy. She always wack my head everytime she could. I shall say this again!!! ALL GIRLS ARE EVIL!
The only game i played is Archery. Lol vivi treated me and Chong. Each of us only have one shot. So every shot is precious. That's the only game i played and its not very exciting. Well SAJC funfair to me was erm pretty mild ..... not as exciting as NJC's funfair. JJC's funfair should also fair much better than us. There are too little activities men ... -___-
Haiz very tiring day. All the girls behave weirdly around me today. Either too nice or too mean. Something is really getting outta hand. I shall start konking girls very soon to wake them all up. HA~

Slowly and steadily ...
.. the creature of the night scrambles out from his hiding place to venture the familiar territory. His senses are fully activated. Fully aware of his surrounding. He runs vertically up the wall to a flast vastly empty land. His mind slows down to a steady pace ....
Suddenly Light floods the land he is standing. Light light .. everywhere. The creature goes "OMG OMG" all the way. He quickly darted beneathe a huge towering object. Big echoes of thump thump thump follows. The creature lay totally still. His senses blasting away, straining every ounce to detect any stimulus or sudden reaction.
Wham! creeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaak.
The tower above him starts to shake and move. The creature thinks the predator must be a very strong predator! Strength beyong his puny imagination! He acts accordingly, he made a run to another nearby hiding area. Hoping that the predator did not see him. For a minute or two, everything lies eerily still. Great my "wind walk" aka invinsibility must have work well to make my escape. Just as the creature began to smile to himself .... He screamed in pain!
Arghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! [ said the creature in mirconano-decibels]
The creature was hit by an unknown projectile. It slowly staggered to one corner trying to break free from the giddiness and the liquidish substance that is slowly draining away his life. Panick!!! The creature tried to run as fast as possible but his legs just couldn't cooperate.
Psshhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
More of that unknown thing swarm the creature. The creature turned over and tried to kick air, hoping that air will kick him back. Finally, the creature was defeated. The predator now bleams with victory. He is now king ................ of the kitchen.
What happened?
I killed a cockroach with a dishwashing liquid sprayer! hahaha. All hail the victor!
Men that was a sideline of what happen today. I've spent a total of 10 hours making belated friendship day cards with Chong. I am damn tired now. So tired after designing and fretting over this cards. Now its finally over. I can finally have some time for myself. But i ahve to sleep early cos tmr's gonna be a long long day. Tomorrow's SAJC funfair! ooo it should be cool. Hope to be able to eat Mabel Chia's carrot cake! hehe !!

i ate alot of junk. Tink i am falling sick again. I empty tins and tins of Chinese new year goodies. Pineapple tarts, egg roll, kinda scary. Horrible eating habit. -___-
i just watch the pot luck vcd. Its very good. Even though msot of the time i feel like hiding under the chair. y? The vcd features interviews, sideline performance done by our very own ex-w143. Just b4 we multiply. Its almost a miracle when i got the vcd from turtle. Its about close to 1 year after we filmed the video. And i am kinda sad that i have no chance to share this vcd with all the w143 pple den needs to see. Its pretty good video. And the reason for the video is to express our feelings to each other ... for fun and laughter and last but not least .. to remember the people we know as in the best image as we could have. Just for a moment, i felt kinda sad. Watching that video brings back that feeling. The feeling of missing people that were once part of our lives. Victor's super lame jokes. Yi Hui's dance and crappiness. Emily's cheerfulness. Chua's hospitality. Jian Ye's constant reminder of my future good life in army, Juan's trademark yummy cookies, Zhiming's smile :) , turtle's e=mc2 and star theories, peifen's whinning [oops] and sometimes encouragement but most of the time whinning hahah, Jocelyn's super incredible earth-smashing and sky breaking spaghetti [damn hungry liao], Kelvin's words of wisdom, Yi Jie's spice of life. Yea, those are the people who left me. Everyone has played apart in puting tapes of their life into mine. It's always very sad when i see people leave. It's just like they have stop recording the tape suddenly [ w/o any proper closure] and u r left with all the half-written tapes.
I am going in soon. The greatest treasure now that i have is not freedom but time. It's something so precious that makes me feel sad when i waste it. The past 2 days have been gaming for me. Too caught up with gaming again i guess. Well i have to knock in to bed. Its getting super duper late.

The Apprecntice.
Donald Trump said a very common aspect of leadership is respect. Without respect, a leader would be very immobilised. He would not be able to do much since his follower's do not cooperate or support him. Collectively speaking, the team would be inexistent. That is the message behind the show. The leader treated this whole show as a game. Just like Survival. Not quite so of an appropriate tactic in this reality show. This show requires members to show their inner qualities. Their character. Not their survival skills. Not their navigations skills [as for Amazing Race]. Not their charms and unique personalities [ as for Bachelor]. This is because Mr. Trump fires people according to the way they handles tasks and situations in his company. Making mistakes in tasks may not jsut be reason u get out of the show. Making mistakes in the meeting room [ or what i call the judgement room - where the 3 judges regin their speech of terror and discipline to the losing team] can play a very pivotal role in getting your butt kicked out of the game.
That is why i find The Apprentice interesting. You learn something everytime from the show. Blame-shifting is a very common trait you will see in almost every reality show. This show reveals much much more than just that. The current episode reveals more of a verbal catfight between Apex team. Sad to say that ... the leader - Jen said that she wil learn to pick the right "supporter" to back her butt so that she'll not be backstabbed next time. I guess probably she is too emotional and fail to see that the reason she got kicked is because she performed her task poorly. Not that she pick her friends wrongly. Sigh wad a show.
After Apprecntice ended, i channel switch to --- Te Zie! It features 2 woman ..... and they currently showed Eunice ... erm you know the pretty lady co-hosttng Wheel of Fortune? She is like so talented! So beautiful. So independent. So un-Singapore-girls-like. haha oops. Really she's very sweet and she plays paino very very well. She is an actress. She had her own music album. She is the abassador of Youth - dunno wad organisation ... - to promote interest of youth. She studies abroad .. takes up several part-time jobs to earn her own allowance. And even insisted to play and learn piano from a restaurant overseas. She said this : " In life this isn't as easy as we could imagine. It's not like you like to do something .. [ like playing piano for her] and you will be given the opportunity and there u go. Smooth sailing. Well no! You will meet adversities and challenges that you have to overcome. It's then you will find your greater sense of fullfillment." I was like ( ' O ' ) !. She speaks alot of wisdom in a few sentences. It's quite duh ... but the thing is ... you can see it from her eyes that she has been there and done that. She did not jsut talk the talk but she walk the walk as well. Being welcome as the youngest MP in Singapore government, i can't see why the public have to criticize her. She may be young but she's a very strong-hearted, very goal-oriented lady. That is really inspiring. In life you don't usually get 2 chances to do what you have need to do and what you want to do. It's best to cherish and perservere in the task that we r made to do. Her sense of independence is really what i would like to have. I would really want to meet the upcoming challenges and finish it fast.
For out of all that life requires from me, I will know that i lead a different life from then.

House -> House Visitation
Men this visitation trip form hosue to house was pretty fun! Mom shifted the service to tmr so that we can have this cell outing today. Unfortunately some people cant make it to join in the fun. We had a pretty good fellowship thru every house. First stop was my place .... At Chinatown.
At first, Chong, Ken and Me met at Chinatown Mrt control station. Chong was quite late ... which could be worst if he did not take a cab down. We went to Chinatown Food centre and visited my 2 aunts selling prawn noodle there. The both got a treat from her wor. Nice Aunts =). They wolf down their food and i went to find somethign to cool me down from the hot day. I settled for a drink since there is no dessert stall. Den .......... my 2 lil' frens when to "pai nian" or in another words .. bring Chinese greetings to my 2 aunts. My 2 aunts then bless each of them with a red packet. WE move off to find gifts for the sister around Chinatown. I saw a good shop which sell very cute items but it was close. Most stalls are close during this season of Chinese New Year.
Atlas, the first stop of visitation has begun ..... at the destination is of course ...my house!! My house is well mopped wor. We ate alot of nuts at my house ... switch on the TV and started talking around. Well my Grandma just said that ... she's kinda quiet .. and not the expressive kind. I asked her some food questions once in a while. Den later, we left and met Alex and went straight to Mom's place. Met Wan Yi along the way. We chatted alot and the sisters ... at that time gave us our valentine's day gift. Haa its sweets with little toys on top of the sweet casing ..... it's like we've been teleported back in time to our childhood days and u know .. kids would really love what we r getting now. It's actually a pretty nice gift. But ours will be better ^^ [ and it has always been. hahahaha]
Mom played piano. Men her piano skills can drive me nuts. Very skill wor. And anotehr interesting thing is .... her mom is an artist. Really ... u can see her artwork at her hosue and men ... they were truly great. 3-d Sketches and its framed. Totally cool. I asked Chong whether her mom might consider selling it. haha ... well there are hidden talents within our midst .. everywhere! We also visited mom's room. It was pinky and there are alto of soft toys lying around. Everything was tidily arrange. She told us she likes soft toy ... and haa also tell us that from this items in the room, we can tell the character of the person. She implied that she is a very soft person. True ? False?? Those who knows her best knows the ans. She also show us 3 symbols. A lvoe shape symbol, a cross and a letter o. This means Love Christ Always. Haa kinda interesting. Her room got alot of photos of her also men. 1st time i visit my mom's room. Very sad rite? hahaha .... Pretty nice to see her cozy, very nicely renovated house!
3rd stop - Garrick's place. My 3rd time there. It has been the same. The 2 dramatic twins are always cheerful .. even when picking us up from their doorstep. Her mom is also very entertaining and nice towards us. They were frying and cooking some food. Men the deep fried chicken taster super good. But the oil content in it is also pretty scary. And ya the mushroom is also superb. VEry nicely cooked mushrooms. yummmmzzzz. We chatted with their uncle and also among ourselves. At the same time, Garrick's uncle also played piano songs to us. We also watch Ps Sun's last and latest concert performance at SIS. And defintely, we spent alot of time at their house due to their excellent hospitality. The brother are also very funny when taking photos. They do funny poses behind us. And even when we take ang pows from Garrick's mom, we will have to pose for the camera. Haa .... really like commendation day ... =P
Last stop- Xiu Wen's place. Steamboat time! Xiu wen is giving us a treat. Steamboat !!!! Well she is kinda nice. She has work earlier and have to rush down from work to prepare the dinner for us in time. When we were there, the food was all already prepared and we just have to lay down the utensils b4 we feast. We all ate liek a pig. hahha .. ok la maybe only me but still i think all of us ate alot. There was sooo much foooood. Mom says the prawns are fresh. Sad thing is i cant eat prawns. Wateva the case, i enjoyed the steamboat very much. ^^ We talk about wat we did in Chinese New Year, and also about the movie Constantine. Haa we having debate wor ... and its 2 vs 1- me leh. Unfair. I wun wanna talk abt the debate. Too wuu liao le. Later we help clear the place and wash up the dishes. Den we went to visit Xiu wen's room. Men her room was very nicely decorated leh. Alot alot of posters. and movie postcards pasted on the wall. She also likes Winnie the pooh bear. Haa and she got quite a collection of soft toys. Just like mom. She taught me guitar. The sad thing is all the rest came in. And Alex was like pretty displease with my standard of playing. Well i am not a very good guitarist yet. But men... i wun let pple look down on me. I will work hard and make my guitar playing mumuch much much better than b4!
Very tired. Shall hit the bed in a flash! Good day to all
Men this visitation trip form hosue to house was pretty fun! Mom shifted the service to tmr so that we can have this cell outing today. Unfortunately some people cant make it to join in the fun. We had a pretty good fellowship thru every house. First stop was my place .... At Chinatown.
At first, Chong, Ken and Me met at Chinatown Mrt control station. Chong was quite late ... which could be worst if he did not take a cab down. We went to Chinatown Food centre and visited my 2 aunts selling prawn noodle there. The both got a treat from her wor. Nice Aunts =). They wolf down their food and i went to find somethign to cool me down from the hot day. I settled for a drink since there is no dessert stall. Den .......... my 2 lil' frens when to "pai nian" or in another words .. bring Chinese greetings to my 2 aunts. My 2 aunts then bless each of them with a red packet. WE move off to find gifts for the sister around Chinatown. I saw a good shop which sell very cute items but it was close. Most stalls are close during this season of Chinese New Year.
Atlas, the first stop of visitation has begun ..... at the destination is of course ...my house!! My house is well mopped wor. We ate alot of nuts at my house ... switch on the TV and started talking around. Well my Grandma just said that ... she's kinda quiet .. and not the expressive kind. I asked her some food questions once in a while. Den later, we left and met Alex and went straight to Mom's place. Met Wan Yi along the way. We chatted alot and the sisters ... at that time gave us our valentine's day gift. Haa its sweets with little toys on top of the sweet casing ..... it's like we've been teleported back in time to our childhood days and u know .. kids would really love what we r getting now. It's actually a pretty nice gift. But ours will be better ^^ [ and it has always been. hahahaha]
Mom played piano. Men her piano skills can drive me nuts. Very skill wor. And anotehr interesting thing is .... her mom is an artist. Really ... u can see her artwork at her hosue and men ... they were truly great. 3-d Sketches and its framed. Totally cool. I asked Chong whether her mom might consider selling it. haha ... well there are hidden talents within our midst .. everywhere! We also visited mom's room. It was pinky and there are alto of soft toys lying around. Everything was tidily arrange. She told us she likes soft toy ... and haa also tell us that from this items in the room, we can tell the character of the person. She implied that she is a very soft person. True ? False?? Those who knows her best knows the ans. She also show us 3 symbols. A lvoe shape symbol, a cross and a letter o. This means Love Christ Always. Haa kinda interesting. Her room got alot of photos of her also men. 1st time i visit my mom's room. Very sad rite? hahaha .... Pretty nice to see her cozy, very nicely renovated house!
3rd stop - Garrick's place. My 3rd time there. It has been the same. The 2 dramatic twins are always cheerful .. even when picking us up from their doorstep. Her mom is also very entertaining and nice towards us. They were frying and cooking some food. Men the deep fried chicken taster super good. But the oil content in it is also pretty scary. And ya the mushroom is also superb. VEry nicely cooked mushrooms. yummmmzzzz. We chatted with their uncle and also among ourselves. At the same time, Garrick's uncle also played piano songs to us.

Constantine: The movie.
Today, we went to watch Movie. i know its very duh, but somehow i must put a start to get this going. haa. You know what i'll laugh all those crap that i type someday when i look back at this blog. Maybe in my late 20's. The weird thing is i am enjoying the fact that i'll be laughing at myself 10 yrs down the road. And of course , i've strayed offpoint ........
We met at Orchard mrt. The girls were late. The boys were punctual [in a way ... that includes me :P] We went visit Kiddo who's working and O' Gio! Giodarno. She was kinda shock when she saw us. I can sense that she's feeling abit uneasy which i understand. We weren't suppose to visit people while as they were working. Well, but i think she's kinda happy to see us. Well i forgot to say who were there. Vivi, Jaryl, Terry, turtle and me were there. It's our ex-03s53 outing. See we still got keep in touch!!
Well just to fast forward, the movie was great. I read reviews and as i've learn long ago .... do not ever trust on reviews. They are just opinions, perspectives that changes alittle of what u think. I've already blog before on : Shall we dance? ... That to enjoy the movie is not to trust on reviews, and sometimes ... not even from word of mouth. Set yr mind free from opinions and try to put yrself in the show. That makes the whole movie trip pretty unique. Really, and that's why i enjoy Constantine. It is a very simple show about a guy trying to redeem himself from going to hell by doing good deeds. The good deeds refer to his profession : exorcism. He is blessed with the gift of sight ... to see demi-humans, half-angels and half-demons that are let loose on Earth. Well this show has many new concepts that are extra to what we know in the bible. And to be truly speaking, there isn;t much bible element in it. This show can be quite funny at times too.
Tagline: Hell wants him. Heaven won't take him. Earth needs him.
Ha... well i finally understand what this means =P. You will know right at the end. No Spoilers here =P
Another tagline :
John Constantine
"You should believe in the devil, cos the devil believes in u"
"Take it from me, 2 minutes in hell is a lifetime on Earth"
Hehe, excited to watch ... men Warner Brothers should be paying me to advertise. Wahahahha
Good show. Plus we took Neoprints again. haa seems like the girls like Neoprints alot. Well gtg...... i have to do some stuff to prepare tmr's activity.

Reunion
Why is reunion dinner called reunion dinner? Because it reunites the family? Because its the last dinner of the year, and it is best spent with the family? Yea to all of us its that. It's a reunification, a gathering, an event of happiness. To those who think that are boring, well i must say they should have a good reason to say so. I love it to see all my relatives buzzing to my house at Chinatown and our whole house will be so packed. I will talk crap with my cousins, play carrom with my uncles, play with my little cousin [ baby Grace]. She loves to lie down. She even crawled nxt to me and lie on my body. So cute! She climbed my bed and lied on my pillow. Thank God she din jump on my bed and leave her baby footprints everywhere. She is very adorable, and i swear men ..... that i heard her calling me JAson!!! Woohoooo. I babysit her for like 20 mins, carrying her around my house which is kinda small to navigate around. Eventually i have to put her down and let her run around. I also played sparklers and men, this new form of sparklers give out real big sparks. And you can feel the heat on yr hand when the spark lands on yr hand. Pretty cool though. We burnt many sticks at one time. It reminds me when i was young. We always throw the lighter sparklers up in the air and run for cover. Haaa. So fun! This time we just wave around .... ^_^ still fun though
Well, i got 3 ang pows today alr! ^_^ Well, the sad part of this yr's reunion dinner is my father, mom and brothers din come. I think my father was held down by work. So they din visit me. Well, in a way ... that makes the reunion dinner - not very reunion in that sense. Everyone left earlier than usual today. Usually every year, everyone would stay till 11 to 12 mn at my house. Very shuang men. We can party all nite at my room ... or visit the neighbourhood. [like last yr]. At 10 pm, my hosue was dead quiet le. Haiz. Well everything is not lost. I can still get to enjoy one good thing! Sight of fireworks form my window. Haaa, very cool leh. boom boom boom, and flowers form on the sky and on my window screen. I was deeply captivated for a moment. Last year, i was liek 100m away from the firework source. So u can imagine how close i am when the fireworks exploded in the sky. I can feel the heat on my face at that kinda close range!
Well this year may not be as exciting as last year. I am happy that i still have the ability to enjoy all that is present to me. Gong Xi Fa chai everyone! Nian Nian You Yu. Fu lu Gao Sheng! Long Ma Jing Sheng. Zhao shen Gui Zhi. Tian tian Mi mi. Shun shun li li. Haa remember all this phrases wor! Before u get Hong Bao's, u have to say alot of these! ^^

Today was an interesting day. Well i guess i have to start blogging about the happenings of Chinatown. Well i was about to meet turtle and Ken and Chong for dinner and salsa dance class. In the end, Ken was sick and couldn't make it. Chong was tired and had to stay at home. So only me an turtle left. So for starters, we went street hunting for this little Salsa shops and on our 1st go - round the streets, we saw the usual Chinatown buzz of food, Vcd's, Clothes, CNY goodies and decos. We went around and found out the ver famous Nasi Brynai restaurant at one of the lanes at Chinatown. As we walk further, turtle make alot of sound effects. She said that she could make more and was planning dominate the world by torturing people that are around her with sound effects. You know dogs will go bark bark bark, and cats will go meow meow meow. This human turtle will go - lalalalal !@#!@# -__- hahah. I must say she might have a possibility to succeed dominating the world with it. haha
Well, after about 20 mins ++ of walk, we din find any shop. But .... we filled our already almost full stomachs with more goodies at Chinatown's Mei Shi Jie . The carrot cake i ordered taste quite good. I was very happy. After the feast, we went to buy bottled drinks and head on now to find again. This time we found it. The shope was called Xenbar [34A Pagoda Street]. Everyone there were dressed in long jeans/pants with leather shoes. I was in the perfect environment with my slippers and shorts. Nevertheless, we bravely ventured the new ground and found a Salsa dance lesson just going on. It was pretty simple, as what turtle as exclaim. But it was kinda cool anyway. After the dance, everyone went 3rd floor for a break. But b4 that, the dance instructors perform another dance : Rhom-ba [ shld be correct :P]. The dance is comparable to belly dancing. ha! really... Instead of shaking yr belly, u have to shake alot of yr butt. The dance to me isn't very appealing for guys to dance because it looks pretty funny to shake yr butt in such an xtreme manner. Well, the girls would look better doing that =P hehee
The instructors later conducted the Rhom-ba dance class. All u need to do is to buy a drink from the bar and the dance lesson will be free. 15 bucks per drink. Haa ... tat was a killer price wor. Turtle and I went up tp the 3rd floor and slack at the sofa, watching the dance class for about 30 minutes. B4 the dance class end, we went off to other places. I would say it was an interesting trip and its a wonder that they did no chase us off for not buying a drink or something.
We went for further exploration later. I introduce turtle to this "powerful" magician in one of the streets whom talk 10 mins of rubbish and do 1 "so-so" magic trick. Well, we could understand that he has to do that. Or he will have nothing to perform about 15mins. We also saw a snake charmer who use her voice instead of the flute during her snake-charming performance. She told us alot of crap as usual. The duh stuffs that everyone knows. I only din noe that snakes are provoked by black objects. Just like Bulls are provoked by red objects. Well the snake certainly seem alarm when the lady use the black pump to play with the snake.
I also ate 3 cheese hot-dogs. They very deeeliiiciouuuuss. Men even as i type, i could feel the cheese melting in my mouth. =P ...
Tmr is New YEar's EVe! HAppy Reunion dinner!

Wad a day ...
Very tired. Ha ok let me start off everythign in sequence
9 am wake up. Oh man. My eyes can't help shutting themselves. Totally Glued together as i travelled from Outram to Boon Lay Mrt. Felt better after that. Ran after a 179 bus, caught it in time just not to be extra latE :P (which means i am already late). When i reach the music room at NTU, i was 10 mins late. -__- but i was not the latest. hehe ^^v
Today we had combine cell with Mr Phillip from E (something something) and we had an interesting game. We use historic ancient chinese kung fu power during the game. lol basically, its a remake of scisoors paper stone. Ying Yang Zhi [ scissors equivalent ], Wu ling Zhang [ paper], Tian tang Tui [ Stone]. So we went around playing scissors paper stone .. haha. And we progress from Tu di, to shi xiong/shi jie and finally to Zhang men Ren. The first 2 Zhang Men Ren will have a intergalactic fight in the music room [ of 3 rounds of scissors paper stone]. The winner will be crown Wu Ling Men Zhu. hahaa. Wanyi and another guy were the Zhang men ren. The other guy won and became the Wu Ling Men Zhu.
We had a very good message today too :). And we sang a beautiful song : One that's after you [ i think that's the name]. City Harvest create one leh! Cool men. Later we had lunch at a coffee shop and met Emily later at the church. We had a good time of fellowship thru-out the way. At the end of the day, all of us were visibly tired. Chong's black panda eyes were extremely prominent. Haa he told me that if he cannot sleep, he'll start gaming. Men that is really hardcore. I understand about gaming at night. It'll make yr eyes tired easily and hence u will have a very strong urge to sleep after that. However, its not very good as it strain yr eye muscle, making you more and more like me! haha 4-eye chicken [in chinese] as everyone called in sch. Well we chatted alot and i got to know him abit better. He told me he feels that he is quiet. Men he did so much better than me lor in the past. In the first few fellowship with the group, Zhimming and me are the quietest. And Mom and peifen and the rest always encourage me to speak. At that time, i was kinda afraid i will sepak the wrong thing [ as i told Chong] as i am new. I dunno the people welll. And i am not a very good conversationalist. And at that time asi remembered, they speak alot of chinese. Not my kind of language at that time. I hardly every speak chinese. Today mom said my chinese has improved alot. lol. I thought she was joking. Anyway, i guess all of us were kinda weary and most of them went home to sleep. I didn't.
Tired as i were afew hours ago, i continue to go California Gym. TODAY WAS MY LAST DAY. Very sad. It's the last time i can use their gym equipments. It's the last time i can use their steam bath, sauna for free. It's the last time i can sing in their bathrooms. ha. Of course not everything about gymming will be the last for me. I can always go other gyms. Ha which might be good cos the Muscles boys there are pretty intimidating. I really stretch myself today. Kinda tired after gym. I went Chinatown later for my dinner. Ate at Mei shi Jie. Men it was super crowded. Usually it takes me 5 mins to get there. Now it takes me about 20 mins to get there [cos i also went alittle sightseeing]. Today i saw a very cool thing on the newspaper ad. Salsa dance! I am gonna ask Chong and Ken down to try learning the dance. 15 bucks for a drink and a free dance lesson. The dance changes everyday. Well i figure that even if we dun like what we see when we get there, we can always chill out at their cafe at the 2nd storey to catch up and to chat. I hope they do teach me something and not regular line dancing moves ...
Chinatown is rocking harder and harder than ever!

Shall we dance ?
Men today's service was pretty good. It's my first time doing TM [Traffic Marshal] at 3 pm. I learn afew things from TM. Learn to be decide fast [ and keep alert]. And learn to mange kids ... to help kids understand fast that they have to keep to one side when cars are coming into the church. Well it was a horrible experience for me... especially when the kids were jumping around me and the cars are about to run us down while i desperately try to save the kids. haha, i exagerated. Basicallty i was "shou man jiao luan" at that point. -__-
Church was great. We learn alot from Pastor Jin Bevere. He talks about Friendship. Relationship. That God is ever-waiting to be very close to you. Everything, every step lies in your hands. Your decision will determine how far, or how close you will be with the lord. It also strike me at that point about relationship between individuals. That most of the times ,,, to be in people's life, i have to step out of my comfort zone and enter into people's boats. To put it simply, your relationship with yr mutual friends is determined by how much both of you are willing to step out to understand each other.
Today we watch Shall we dance? It's a pretty simple movie ... but it's very nice. No Ocean 12 complicating plot. Very nice simple and direct. About how a man's life is change by afew simple dance class. Well i dunno about the reviews that JX and WY has said. But it is certainly a good show. And all of us agreed its nice =). I am glad about this for one thing. And another simply about how much the show has inspired me to dance.... as an outlet for emotions. To dance just simply for the joy and passion for itself. The inspiring movie has somehow stirred my will to dance my problems away. Pretty interesting thought. Hmmm well ... tonight's bathroom experience has therefore became pretty interesting too. Well i love shows, performances with dance and vocal. They are pretty interesting .. though i dunno much about the dancing and singing part itself .. i just love waching it and adoring it. And ya i've also learn that this shows are very nice to watch at night. Slow shows like this are meant for the night. A good show does not need to have a high rating from the newspaper to be classified good. As most movie-goers know. Enter the show with the right mood [ and the right expectaion ] and of course the knowledge that it should be a [can-make-it] standard. You'll enjoy your show :)
On top of this thing, i did something special today. Something out of the blue. What i did somehow reminded about what i reac in Chicken Soup. How can a small man like me make a difference in the big big world? The man simply replied : Well .. i make a difference to that one. An action does not have to be too big to be complimented and admired as a whole. I am jsut happy that i did what i did on my way home. =) Thank God for everything that's in my life.
Men am i sleepy. I shall stop rattling and time to K-O at bed.
Men today's service was pretty good. It's my first time doing TM [Traffic Marshal] at 3 pm. I learn afew things from TM. Learn to be decide fast [ and keep alert]. And learn to mange kids ... to help kids understand fast that they have to keep to one side when cars are coming into the church. Well it was a horrible experience for me... especially when the kids were jumping around me and the cars are about to run us down while i desperately try to save the kids. haha, i exagerated.

I am sad.
Gym was the place i go to iron out my feelings ... Letting go of my emotions. My grandma argued with me today again. She likes to use not-so-nice words when she speak. I can always close one ear to whatever she says. She is not that bad. IT's just that sometimes she's very tactless when she speak. She forgot that i am human too and the power of words have influences on me. She likes to tell me " ni yao shi le!!" (implying that staying out very late at night will kill me). I don't see the effectiveness of using reverse psychology here when the words itself are so negative. I can't blame her ( like what my uncle said). She's uneducated and therefore she is not good with her words.
The trifle this time is about allowance. And i can't help feeling sad when she asked me how much i am going to pay her back when i work. Well i can work and cut down my spendings. She can say that. But i feel very sad when she talks about the repaying part. It's like - I've never seen a loved one asked for repayment for all that's done. My emotions are stirred up. My anger get a better hold on me than my thinking. With all the things she have told me in the past, i can't help feeling that all she's doing now ... is not out of love. Is out of investment. Out to get something out of me in the future. To simply put it, she makes me think that i am a tool for her future riches. That's why she always compare me. Always scold me. And she even told me once [ after i asked her ] that my grades, my success is a beacon to show to her friends or sisters that she has someone successful to boast about and to rely on. That was the worst thing she has ever said to me.
I know all what my uncle has said. I don't think they know how i feel on the inside all the time, especially about family matters. Through the years, i've adopted a simple policy. Playing ignorance. Know what you need to know and know tat's all you need to know. This policy has help me thru the years in certain ways with dealing with relationship matters .. but its definitely not without its flaws. Ignorance is not always bliss. All i got to say is the past will catch up with me in the future .. or even soon in the present. I have to learn not just to let go .. but to resolved b4 letting go. This is just like what Janet has done (as i've written in my prev post). I just hope God will teach me how to solve b4 it piles up and become too big to resolve. Life is just like this. You learn, you solve, you let go and you move on.
Well, regarding about what my grandma has said. After a nice gym work-out. I felt God convicting my heart. God knows what i feel. And God told me ... hey you are looking at you and what happen to you alone. There are so many things that i've forgotten abotu what my Granny has done for me over the years. It's only natural for her to feel weary in this process of bringing me up. Especially when it's not her full responsibility to do it. All the past ... the good and the bad started flooding my heart. Sometimes i really don't know the best outlet for intense emotion. It may be temporary but it can still be helpful. Crying is good as i've learn over the years. But as humans mature, crying may not a very good outlet. It's not natural for me to suddenly hug everything i see and started weeping. Today's gym work-out was a refreshing experience. I could only thank God for this temporary outlet.
Well i guess if there's anybody reading my blog. Or maybe just for myself in the future. Adore and keep this msg in yr heart. Love your neighbour, your love ones just as yourself. For humans are the best treasures there are in this world. Beyond that, it's all about God.

Yesterday Janet spoke to me late in the night. Not in my dreams ..... on the phone. I am glad she called and sahred her piece of mind. She told me she is sorry for being angry with me. My first reaction was "huh ?" I never knew she was angry with me. She seem normal but a little bit restless from the last time i saw her in cg.
Well its a simple incident .. an incident that somehow bothered her. From her perspective, she has a feeling that i somehow disrecpect her ... when i join another group of frens when i was with her and another fren originally. My first reaction was "huh?" again. You see : she told me that i disappeared with a group of friends whom join us. She knows that they are joining us and she knows them as friends as well. Janet and another friend were infront of us. Somehow we got seperated ... Janet and a person infront ... the whole bunch of us are at the back. From this .. my point of view was .. : if you put in that way .. you were infront of us ... so technically we did not seperate from 2 of u. Its the both of u who went ahead w/o looking out for us ... sticking with the original big group. Then i think again + from what Janet had said, this point of view is not totally right. Its not fair for me to shift the blame totally to them and say they have just run off with their own world and the least i should do is to inform them where are we all this while. I stepped out and put myself in the 3rd point of view. God's point of view. To me[God], this is just a simple misunderstanding btw 2 parties. Nothing more and nothing less.
The point i am trying to bring here which Janet has indirectly taught me is to learn to share yr problem. Sometimes it seems easier to just put up with the problem and junk it on the back of yr mind. However, this is not a very healthy choice as it will eventally surface together with other problems and puta great strain on the relationship. Learn to share and to see in everyone's shoes. That certainly helps to clear up alot of misunderstanding. I am very happy that she shared. She told me she felt vrey much better. I guess Janet might feel so bothered in this way is because our relationship as friends are not very established. We are not close to understand what to give and what to take in a simple friend to friend relationship. Its time for me to work hard to make my relationship with every member of my cg as firm and as strong as possible.
Someday when i look back, i will know ... that all that i've done have not gone to waste.

Today we went ML consulting for a job. I intended to take the survey and do in other ddays but it so happen plans have changed. We took the job offer and work today! The deal was : $9 / survey done. But! the surveyor must find the specific person [as listed on the list] to do survey. Not any Lim-cum-put can do the survey. The good thing is .. we have someone to drive us around to do the survey[Something additional to the deal]. and another thing is .. if you get no surveys done .. we will still earn a basic pay of 30 dollars. If we can do 4 surveys and above ... we will be able to earn more than 30 bucks. It is not easy [ if you ever think this is easy money]
This job is more like a touring around Serangoon road and Ang Mo Kio road trip. We did most of out surveys that. The team comprises of the driver[ Peter i think], another surveyor, me , turtle and Elizabeth the Leader of the team. We went around to different households to ask the particular person in that house to help us with a survey. More often than not, that particular person is working, not at home. And sometimes, the person might be around ... but he/she just do not want to do. We work from 12.30 to 9.30. 9 hours. I only done 2 surveys and turtle did 2 and a half ... haha halfway done survey. We piled our resources under one person so we can earn extra money. Effectively, we only earned a miserable 34.50 per person. So you see,, this job aint easy. However, it was a relaxing job and we did alot of sightseeing. Turtle saw a GRC-grassroot leader and witness a monitor lizard being knocked down by a car. She also chatted with a man about Curry leaves. lol... she had a pretty exciting day. For me .. it's just yet another passing day.
