It's been a long time since I last wrote here, and came back here to say the very least. Being recently enlisted in NS and i wrote some of my thoughts down.

Echos of humanity resonate through my ears as my subconscious state of mind filters them out whilst in a half awaken state.

What I know not of is what I finally know after its absence; With absences comes yearning.

Yesterday once more

2009-03-25T14:51:00.004+08:00

I was bored last night so i decided to record myself playing the guitar.
The Carpenters - Yesterday once more

Enjoy!

What influences people? Many a time we skip this thought. It is true that what we think, is what we will become, but digging deeper into this, what causes us to think. I would generalise it as the society or environment that affects us; breaking down further - people or events tend to cause us to be influenced.

I've not been writing here. Been busy at work, Public Utilies Board as IT designer.

catching up

2009-03-02T00:49:00.005+08:00

potluck @ erikas + wii
appetizer - erika + ethel - a prawn and scallops dish
main - nick - carbonara
dessert - me - cheesecake

fun @ sentosa with the neighbours
was raining, but it weared off slightly, went to the beach first. eew the seabed was gooey. when i take my steps, its like the algae spills out of the holes between my toes!! ahhh!! sick right. then we grew tired chasing this beach ball in the sea. so we went up and played with the sand. a few sand art, sandcastles, burrying.
TO THE LUGE! heading up on the skyride, we saw a heart-melting sunset. it was awesome. dinner after that, and to cafe del mar.
i must say, it really is a very nice chillout place, hence im going according to my plan. we set on the beach chairs, erika had a flaming lamborghini. chilled out a bit, then went back for teochew mui.

Sleeeeep

2009-02-08T04:48:00.002+08:00

At this point of time, my head yearts to reunite with my pillow. Oh what a joy to just lie down and close my eyes. My eyelids can barely sustain itself; Seeking its closure. Just blogging, before i switch off. Collapse.

Short writing - Imagine~

2009-01-25T21:18:00.002+08:00

imagine imagine imagine....

having your own private space, out on the beach, lying back in surrender to the surroundings. Relaxing on a beach like cushion chair, with a cocktail served, sipping in the ambience of lounge music. The soothing sensation overwhelms you; fading out of reality. Doused lights hang in the space above you, trying to extend their dying light, upon this cool and peaceful night. You feel like you're missing something, but you couldnt care less; being easy going and carefree, relaxing is all you can care about now. Wasting the night, as it pasts.

Cafe del mar~

My thoughts

2009-01-13T23:39:00.004+08:00

i realised i havent been blogging for quite a long while, been seriously busy with stuff, and finally, its the last week of fyp, but i still have to go to school some days.

sat down with erika earlier, its freaky to see how we grow up, and all that. kinda scary. if only i could remain young, and enjoy the life i am enjoying like this, forever.

looking back into the past year, there were lots of memorable things that happened. one of them being, going to eski bar with tony, hong, kevin, qin, thinking of that made me smile. the fun we had together. i really miss you guys. then there was this one night where kevin drove down to pick tony, and me, then went for supper.

friends are irreplacable.

moods

2008-12-24T09:51:00.004+08:00

Walking down the street, with decors hung high in the air, a mixture of mood in the air; couples hugging, kissing under the mistletoe; the bustling of life, busy people doing last minute shopping.

As for me, it would just be the same old me, letting christmas pass by, playing by the same rituals. When all others have their own plans, I lie down, just looking at the stars, wishing christmas would pass faster.

The memories, serenading my significant other, things I would like to make happen during this festive, cant be done anymore. Caged up inside a glass box, observing the people, I am depressed, void of emotions. Where is the one that I would hold, cuddled in my arms.

Holding her by the waist, she wraps her arms around your neck, nose to nose, you look at each other, the chemistry fills the air around, letting love work. Looking out into the city, you throw your arms around her from behind, enjoy the sceneray, and let the silence tell it all, enjoying christmas as it passes by.

Note: I does not have any reference whatsoever to me.

Emotions

2008-12-18T23:46:00.002+08:00

Yet again, I've lost the will to blog.

Been thinking a lot, about life, about things that concern my present, and the future; the things yet to come. Busy with school work, final year project, and leading raids. Yet 1 thing still stays on my mind. What am i doing with my life? Is it the best i can utilize it to?

So basically, from now on, i'll just be here to pen thoughts down. when i feel like it.

It's so hard to say goodbye

2008-11-21T18:31:00.003+08:00

As the title says it, its so hard to say goodbye.

Its the last day of fyp for most people in my lab, yes i will miss them, tho i wont say the bond is that strong, but there are some that i feel for, that will be etched in my heart always. Take care, and good luck with your endeavours. i will always be supporting you in heart and spirit. forever, my friend. as i waved my last goodbye, they still seem to be doing so much work. wonder when i will ever see them again.

MIA

2008-11-13T00:25:00.003+08:00

i realised i havent been writing much here, basically, nothing much's been happening, nothing interesting at all. moreover, im busy. recalling vaguely the things that happen.

Saturday
went out at night to the cathay to eat ben and jerry's ice cream, the 9 scoop one, with the live band.

Tuesday
went to chijmes - hogs breath cafe to eat, damn their standard of steak went down

Aim high

2008-11-06T10:20:00.000+08:00

Hence, for one's aim, combined with perserverence, nothing can stand in your way. overcoming all odds and walls that hinder one from taking a straight path towards their goal.

LFM dinner

2008-11-06T10:17:00.000+08:00

The term LFM dinner means - looking for member for dinner, in that sense. We went to prata house for dinner, as usual, every tuesday is maintenance. me, yichao, weiming, sheva, ben, susu. the usual suspects. we rattled on until 1130pm.

Restlessness

2008-11-03T10:13:00.000+08:00

The shear restlessness of one's self defeats the purpose of carrying on with one's aim.

A very random phrase

2008-11-02T12:34:00.000+08:00

As long as you play a piece of melody/rhythm which you or someone else likes, you're a musician, for you bring enjoyment to the ears.

Lost in Singapore

2008-11-01T22:13:00.001+08:00

I never knew i would be lost in singapore, but after wandering around aimlessly for an hour, walking amist the maze, i got really tired, with the sun scorching my back, adding on to my aches from yesterday's exercise. me and weiming got lost in ubi, trying to find denson's office which was located at kaki bukit road 1, enterprise one building.

Sick

2008-10-31T22:49:00.004+08:00

Was feeling kinda sick yesterday, yet i went out with some guildies. went to eat tau huey, but i couldn't really enjoy, cause i was so hungry i had to eat it fast. anyway, after a while, i had to throw up, stomach just wasn't feeling good.

Am kinda better today. so we went to play badminton - me, wm, yc, nico, bird. play until back ache ar. pain. then went to run, and do pull ups. i really shouldn't exert myself like that.

later on, went to meet denson, talked and laughed and wm ji tao tio shoot. well, it was fun. had a good time catching up.

Happy birthday nick~

Random Situation

2008-10-29T09:04:00.002+08:00

Walking down memory lane, you pick out this particular situation that makes you overwhelmed by emotions; that of joy, love, and blissfulness.

You're walking down this path, you vaguely remember where or what was happening, vividly remembering only the fact that your girlfriend was holding your hand, dragging you along this stretch, seeing something that she was interested in; a booth showcasing something she took an interest for. you strode along with her, soon after she admires something like figurines, or art pieces, one that depicts somewhat the situation you have been in before; like a deja vu. she questions you, asking if you remember. all you remember is you looking at her innocent face, filled with naivety, perhaps that blissful look on her face made the world seem unimportant, the few of the many things which makes you love her. you smile back at her, nodding in agreement. she continues to admire the other display items, with you right beside her, watching over her.

Akira

2008-10-28T23:57:00.000+08:00

As usual, tuesdays are the days where all WoW-ers have nothing to do at night, scheduled maintenance from 8pm - 2am. hence, i went to lfm dinner (looking for members; a wow term). We decided on Akira Japanese Restaurant, located directly at link hotel, situated in 50 tiong bahru road, walking distance from outram park mrt station. Trick is, come with an appetite. A 30 dollar all you can eat buffet definately bloats you. Bad point - not that wide a variety of dishes to choose from. Good point - food is very fresh, and sashimi is free flow.

8 of us went - me, mumu, weiming, yichao, sheva, susu, ben, jarheaded.

it was an enjoyable time, and a long time since we last met. reached home, and i knocked out.

Birthday Celebration

2008-10-27T12:31:00.003+08:00

Was out last night to celebrate my grandmother's birthday, held at novotel, near liang court, somewhere in clarke quay. the atmosphere outside the hotel was quiet, perhaps it was still early.

The Square Restaurant - nothing was square about it at all, plates were still round, spoons were still oval, wonder what does the "square" represent then. International buffet was served, however, i felt it was more towards the japanese side, there was japanese curry, which was quite nice, if only i wasnt full, i would have taken some more. there was rojak, which was a bit blend, and laksa, which was sweet, kinda weird taste.

Overall, the food was not too bad. lack of an international variety. Lastly, the meal ended with chocolate fondule, and me doing the usual, drawing with chocolate. heres a picture for you to see =) inspired by chinese art of painting.

Tau Huey

2008-10-26T02:12:00.003+08:00

Met Avenlin today. Firstly, i would like to say - sorry miss Avenlin, i made u walk so much. Finally, my craving for tau huey is settled; doused. i half ate the 'you tiao', and egg tart, cause i was too pai seh already. eventually, now that i'm home, i don't have dinner either, but oh well, tau huey can liao. i personally think the tau huey at kallang is better tho, but at least, got tau huey to eat can le hahas. thanks for bringing me there =)

Hmmm, Avenlin is a very scary jaywalker, though she claims to be guai, she don care about cars one. she just walk. lol. even im scared hahas.

After which, we walked to wisma, cause i wanted to take a look at some shoes, those leather ones. then i had to go back to park lane cause i was supposed to collect something there, so we walked there and back, sorry yet again.

Changed the blog's music, to something soothing, and rather sentimental imo. its from fate stay night fyi. sit back, relax, and enjoy.

R&R

2008-10-24T10:55:00.002+08:00

Been sleeping at home the last 2 days, yet its not enough. Went to the doctors yesterday, might have a case of migraine. i requested for painkillers so as to be able to attend school.

Came to school dead today, took the painkillers, but i didnt take breakfast early enough, feeling the gastric juices reacting in my stomach already, hurts. but at least my head aint that bad.

rest and relaxation. hopefully things will tide me over.

Sick

2008-10-21T22:00:00.000+08:00

It was when i was trying to be a good boy and go for class, suddenly i felt cold, my head became heavy, pain shot regularly through. Fever struck me as i could barely hold my attention in class.

Hence, its fever and headache. Got back to class and took a panadol. The sickness was carried over to today, where random pains impacted only my head's right temple. I think i really need some good rest, either that, or im dying soon.

Went to watch Max Payne, and it was kinda alright. i guess any random person would just pass it off as a bad show, but looking at where this show came from - a game. a fancy show of weapons display, little action, and a little story plot, fit mainly for gamers to watch. Its not really worth the 6 bucks that i paid for it, even with the nebo card. 2/3 worth my money, and not really recommended.

Max payne is a show that is filmed about Max, who lost his wife - Michelle, due to a research about a drug that manipulates cells to hallucinate and see valkeries that try to take a human, trying to find the mastermind of all the random homicides. A generally interesting plot to the movie, yet not enough to keep one's attention to it.

After the show, we proceeded to play pool, damn i made so many mistakes. And its to bed for me, since im restlessly in pain. Happy birthday Yichao, whose birthday was yesterday.

Song composition

2008-10-19T21:07:00.003+08:00

inspiration stuck me as thoughts sped through my mind. i plucked a tune, and i liked it.

Song - By the way, I love you.

Verse:

Darling did you
know that when i
first saw you i
couldn't take my eyes off you.

And on that day
surrounding voices
and everything else
just seem to fade and mute.

A day of you not
showing up just
made me feel so
lost just without you.

From then on your
presence was a
part of me that
i just couldn't live without.

just a draft for now =)

The house bunny

2008-10-19T02:41:00.003+08:00

Went out with mich to watch house bunny, it was pretty good, funny, and i love the story line.

The House Bunny tells a tale of romance, friendship and determination, where Shelly, the main actress, guides a group of outcasts into something popular. I shant spoil anymore for you, a 4/5 stars show, and a must watch for comedy.

Thereafter, we proceeded to liquid kitchen to chill for a bit. And now im dead tired. Goodnight to all my readers.

Random writings (sadness)

2008-10-17T19:06:00.004+08:00

A nice song from the ending of naruto, with some build up.

What made me think?
Will we meet again?
Does my tears even work?
I keep saying i want to be loved,
But do you get it?
I've got this feeling,
That i'll never see you again.
I wish i could tell you,
But i just don't know how.
Maybe i'll walk away,
Hoping the feelings will fade away.
I won't tell you to not leave.
All the happiness we've shared,
All the things we've done together,
Can hardly be erased from my memories.
Our love our bonds our hope,
The future the past the present.
The last few words you said,
Broke my heart into many bits.
I tried so hard to forget,
Yet everytime i'm reminded of you,
I ask myself why did i let you go.
And the distance grows,
As time flows,
Our love fades.

Reminiscing my childhood

2008-10-16T22:33:00.000+08:00

i seldom watch tv. it just so happen that there was some filming in my playground. jauntly strolling out, i saw tay ping hui there, which meant it was a channel 8 production. it was a romance portion of the series, where he held this girl's hand. she looked so young, and as stated above, i rarely watch tv, hence i dont know who she is. well wat the heck. thats not the main point of this blog.

walking further across my playground, i came to this open area where i saw young kids training taekwando. they were so cute. so the instructor asked the kids to run back and forth, with several activities in between. the first one that made me laugh was when the kids were told to hop on 1 foot to point A, switch foot and hop back to the starting point. while the instructor wasn't looking at 1 side, a few of them just stopped hopping, and ran on both their legs, screaming and shouting, to appear to be hopping only when the instructor turned to look at the otherside.

after this happened, something cropped up. the summon lady came! so this instructor ran to the car park across the field, to start his bike, and rode it to the correct parking space. then all his students were shouting, come back come back, as if he was boycotting them or something.

further events that involved the kids were to do leg raises, where 1 of them just laid there in crunches position and started couting without doing any movement.

i remember my childhood days where i was so actively involved in soccer, and the common people that played were always me, keith, shane, erika, alvina, sometimes josh. back then where we still had some hut in the middle of the court, the many things we did, freeze and melt that we always had fun at, and where the playground was still covered in sand, and not the current rubber padding now. there used to be swings, which was one of our joy. nick wasnt doing much of an appearance, mainly due to his confinement at home (and this does still happen).

oh the nostalgic atmosphere of my childhood, brings back so many happy memories, even the time when i fractured my arm. oww that sucked badly. on the contrary, i get a choice to chao geng in army. well it all depends on how i actually want to see it - whether i want to get a silver for my napfa, or purposely fail it. i remember my PSLE days where after every exam, i came back, and waited for 5pm to rush out to play soccer. i was still so slack during my leaving examination.

the joy, fun, and friends made life really happy for me during that period. eventually all of us make new friends, or move out, or go overseas and study, eventually we fall apart, but our friendship bonds would still definately remain, intertwined for the rest of our lives. it sure would be great to meet up again.

Random writing (expression)

2008-10-15T14:01:00.002+08:00

behind that smile, lies devious thoughts and expressions, one which would never be anywhere near that smile, devoid of happiness; only intentions. a grin would most certainly have fit in that facial expression, one that would clearly describe the actual intentions of the protagonist; the evil intentions, not that of killing, but that of torture, pain, hurt, torment, horrific outcomes should he unleash the rage dealt toward the unsuspecting victim.

WoW's 12 hour maintenance

2008-10-14T21:14:00.005+08:00

gotta hate weds when WoW has maintenance, especially when you have nothing else planned - not going out or something. hopefully the armani war bear will still be available in the 4th za chest. yichao's comp hang then he didnt get to do the 4th boss, hence not being able to roll for the bear mount. quite sad. in the end, i did a haxx roll of 90. so i won it. a sense of exuberant joy filled me cause there might be a chance that that is the last chance to get the bear mount.

DAY 7 of FYP

its kinda boring. yichao and weiming didnt come to school. had nothing much to do, eventually, i ended up sleeping in the lab, yes i started droolling but wat the heck, i cant help it. i'm so mentally tired to the fact that droolling helps. rubbish lol!

nothing much happens anyway, being in school every weekday generally from 830-6, slaps you with a boredom the moment you step into the lab. and the whole routine begins. breakfast, lunch, tea, home. standard. nothing changes.

*pulls my hair out*

Random writings (romance)

2008-10-13T16:26:00.005+08:00

Imagine the sun fading against the horizon, as you and the one you love most are merely silhouettes walking along the coast, hand in hand, ignoring reality - as if nothing else matters - as if with the one you love most, dreams soar high, conquering all.

Stopping to stare at the beautiful sunset, you gently embrace her in your arms, lovingly sweet, whispering softly into her ear, things she wants to hear - words of love - words that promise - to grant her security for the rest of her life.

A blissful peace rests upon you love birds, as the crimson sky starts to darken. Its the end of the day.

Unbearable separation happens, promising the next zussamen.
