the click five - jenny
this just came out... so i'm happy to share with everyone. the new album is called "morden minds and pastimes"
chapter 26 : a new beginning to something old
okay okay, i'm sorry. didn't meant for this to happen.
i'm skipping fencing training again, it was intentional..... sorry farhan. couldn't help it.
well anyway. back to the topic. today's post is really long. so be patient.
saturday morning started out in a really interesting way. ever seen a small monitor lizard up close?
hahaha, well freddy was a little scary, so the little critter rushed to hide. well, we trekked along the road to the HSBC treetop walk. i'll tell ya, the view up there is a knock out. literally. i mean there's nothing there to see. only treetops. so yea, it's knock out when you realized that you trekked 4.2km for viewing treetops. but, if you look closely, there are some really nice scenes. look down for example. and look far away....
nice ain't it? okay! so here's what happens next. we got off the suspension bridge, and we walked along the wooden platform pathway provided. we saw a giant ant crawling along the planks and nothing escapes freedy peh's N73 camera
well, after all that HSBC treetop hike, it's time to head back to bukit timah. well, if it's boys, you'd think that everything that we see in nature is there for a reason.
ok, you ask any one on the
road what the following pictures are suppose to show, they'd tell you, it's a hole in the ground. but if you ask boys from 4C.... we'd tell you something else.
well. you can say that's about all of our commando expedition. the rest of the hike was to get to and through rifle range road.... and we walked past several interesting sites. school of ammunition (what do they teach there?) singapore technologies something something else. PUB water treatment plant. and the home of a band of monkeys.finally, we reached the bridge over PIE. the big satelites along the highway, you know? there were some people fixing the starhub and M1 cable lines and well....marvin and hassan kept hitting the cables on the other end... so you know how the technicians reacted... well, the PIE wasn't exactly a knock out view, but it was windy and breezy...
after all that, we walked past the PUB area and into durian loop. the place has got lots of durians.... and there were people around there picking durians XD
so finally, we practically sang our way out of bukit timah hill and turned to look back...
it's finally over and time for lunch... though the 4 of us would have prefered to sleep in Courts for awhile...
well, the next half of the day was equally fun, though we did nothing much. they really make me do weird things... those 2 girls.
and when they ask too much, you just don't want to listen.....
this was the part where they asked me to pose like jessica alba in the fantastic 4 photo...but anyway, it was fun.....
er hem. back to the present day. since yesterday, i've been getting back test results and... so far the one that looks most promising is my Engineering Mechanics...followed by ETE and finally FAT (which really sucked)...tommorrow, i'll be getting back my last paper. EG2... wish me luck with that.
that reminds me, earlier, i was walking back home past the bike accident area, and i noticed they placed a convew mirror at the T junction. this really pissed me off. i mean, does it always have to take one person's life just to make everyone else notice the danger? if they had placed a mirror there earlier, i wouldn't have to reapir my bike, and my hand would still be alright. grrrhh....
well, that's it for today, just for a side show, here's something from ice age 2.
see you soon, bye

chapter 25 : hectic day
ok good evening everyone. it's pretty warm here in my room. i just got back from the edge of town with loretta and atiqah. great day today.
let's start with the first half of the day. its around 9.30am and me and the boys took a 20 min trip to macritchie reservoir on 157 and started our 10.2 km hike back to bukit timah hill. you can say the 10 km was really unexpected, i didn't know we trekked that far. well, anyway, we ended up at the bottom of bukit timah hill at around 1.30pm in the afternoon and had lunch at Al-Azhar. the details of the trip will be on the next post. i promise.
second half of the day started at around 2.30pm. yea, i dashed out of the house and took a bus ride to dhoby ghaut to meet up with atiqah and loretta. and in the end, i had to wait till 4.00pm for them to turn up in front of me. and then we walked around plaza singapura, let the girls do their "designer rags" business with some weirdo lady at macdonalds and headed to cathy to catch a movie; nancy drew.
well, the movie wasn't bad actually. in fact, it was pretty good. recommended for all ages and bored people. again, i promise to upload some pictures once atiqah sends me them.
climax of the day. well, it should be pretty obvious, that lately, my dad has been inviting people to check out the house, and that we were going to sell it. it just breaks my heart.
i spent the past 17 years of my life since birth under this roof. and now, we're moving out? what about my neighbours? what about soccer? what about the girl next door? and mum said it in my face, "son, what do you think these people are here for? of course they're going to buy the house, in the mean time, we have to find somewhere else to live". good lord. this is so unfair! ok guys, if you're reading this, i'll do my best to make sure i still stay in the district, so i can meet up with you lads and kick some balls around all evening.
well, that's all for today, i just want to show you something.... remember eric dill left the click five? well i always remember the days when i use to sit at the back of the class trying to sing songs from the click five. if you're not eric dill, then well trying to sing the click five songs is
1. bad music to everyone elses ears.
2. torturous to everyone else around you.
and
3. interrupting miss chua's english lesson.
ok, i'll get straight to the point, here's what i'll like to show you, how the new click five came about
the series isn't complete yet, so be patient. it will come out soon. have a good evening, bye.

chapter 24
well that's the hard bit. i don't know who to follow tommorrow. if atiqah sends me a message in the middle of the night, i'm not going with her and loretta. well...as for the guys, better make it quick. going hiking in the morning is really tiring. i'm getting irritated with the indecisiveness. and atiqah, want to contact me, contact me PRONTO! underSTOOD?
things NOT to look forward to next week. school. school work. NCC day parade. wearing NO.3 to school. and getting my common test results.
things i really want to do next week. go out with "somebody". watch a movie with "somebody". have dinner with "somebody". talk to "somebody", and send her home after all that.
ok. the departure of eric dill has been quite a shock to me, recently. i still haven't gotten used to hearing the click five songs in a lower tone. doesn't sound right. well anyways, anyone looking for "jenny" MP3, please do contact me.
next big thing..... maybe... i was thinking. should i cut bald again? well.... seeing hassan without hair on his head brought back some good memories from last year's crazy adventure. looks really nonstalgic. i like it.
ok, the picture's alittle blurry. freddy didn't take it good (again) even after multiple attempts. but hey, check out hassan with no hair!
that's it for today though. tommorrow's going to be a long long day....here's a song from relient K, "must have done something right"

chapter 23
good news for some of us.... (it always comes after a shock). Bo Ju got past his second medical check up for heart abnormalities. that means, like me, we're headed for our joyride in the sky. next up, CMPB called again today to reconfirm my deferment...and they sent me a letter in the evening to re-reconfirm my deferment.
we shouldn't forget miss lorretta lau. she's headed for singapore tommorrow. ah, and tommorrow, is another day with 4C 06 gents, at jurong point (again).....is it me or does the 4C guys like to hang out at jurong....? it's probably me then. doesn't matter.
let's see..... anything i should do by myself or with someone this weekend? anyone wants to visit the old airforce mueseum? or sun bathe at sentosa? or if anyone craves for movies please ring a note on my mobile phone. hahaha, maybe no one will do that. but if there is anything interesting please do call.
and hey! meeting lorretta after all this time really makes me wonder.... will she start speaking like those R&B singers? whatshername? Rihanna? all the weirdy weirdy slang.... wonder when we're meeting up.... that reminds me. i didn't know the 4C prefects had more than one name until recently.... helen (wendy), sue (fazilah), mau (lorretta)..... well that's a serious case of identity crisis (i hope you're not reading this the 3 of you).
well, that's all the ranting about people. IMEEM has been a bitch lately. my playlist has shrunk even further than the last time.... all the 30 seconds preview and all.... really makes me mad. all my favourite songs are busted....
ok, more to come. click five music has been updated recently, with songs like "jenny", "all i need is you", and "by the way"...ok, these songs aren't really official yet, but you can still check'em out on www.youtube.com. that's not the end of it yet, relient K's latest album is out now and songs like "must have done something right" is really good, also, check'em out on the tube.
hm....music distress. my desktop is now currently filled with....sean paul (nigger singer who does reggae R&B). i don't how those songs end up there, and i highly object to such music. tsk! sean paul....
last minute update from Yi Shen, NCC training at 1pm tommorrow noon.
ok, that's it for today, i hope you all have a good night, and see you down the road at the next exit. and here's "jenny" by the click five
as a final word, i'd like to say lead vocalist eric dill has left the click five... even though the music isn't bad, it just doesn't sound right. he is now replaced by new lead vocalist kyle patrick

chapter 22
but anyways. i got the call from CMPB just now! and i guess what? they can't throw me in tekong anymore! whhhooooooo hoooooo... can't stand it.... with all these recent events driving me up the wall, i guess i'd rather have school any day.
i guess it's back to party time yea? tommorrow, i'd be celebrating 2 birthdays. number one. miss soon siew ling turns a charming sweet 16 tommorrow, and miss jasmin toh turns a hot 17 the same day. bought them both something each.
alright, that's it for today, i hope to see everyone soon. it's back to school in 5 days time. ta ta

chapter 21 : a robin dying in suspense
this is what happen last friday folks, after i got back from orchard, i decided to do my enlistment thingy. bad move, i didn't notice a few things and the consequence of this is that i'll be going BMT at the end of this year (HuH?) i didn't know what hit me until i saw that on the screen......
my god! i've been trying all sorts. going to school, get a deferment letter, calling CMPB up, fax the deferment letter to them idiots, and waiting for CMPB to call me... i wonder how long it will take? i might really end up going tekong this christmas! OH MY GOD............. i've been doooooomed
if this doesn't work out soon, i've just scrwed up my entire life! how much bad luck can a person take? can anyone please give me an omen?
i nearly got busted by a car again on friday, the food cleaners at jurong point nearly threw away my retainers on thursday, and now this garbage befalls on me? is this some joke from god? it's not funny.....
ah..... feels better once i complained. well, the next bit that's really getting on my nerves is the SYFC. it's their goody goody policy to tell us civilians that no news from them is good news. bullshit, i bet i wouldn't know i've been kicked out until two years down the road. and if i don't clear this enlistment thing, there wouldn't even BE a two years down the road.
this just sucks.....i'll keep everyone updated on how it goes.

chapter 20
how's it going? i haven't blogged for 3 days and it seems like an eternity. just a small piece of news, my wisdom teeth are starting to pop out. it's still pretty early, and it's gonna be quite a hassle. and tommorrow, is gonna start early. remember last saturday i had to go to eunos for a medical checkup, while as for tommorrow, it's the air base i'm going to.
big deal. it starts at 8.30am and right after that, i'm meeting up with ex-cathy employees to go pulau ubin..... this is totally not what i had in mind.....
it's gonna be one rough day tommorrow.
this reminds me.... i'm kinda outta shape recently after the accident... ought to excercise later....
as for now, i'm wondering if i should work this sunday afternoon. 4 hours in the afternoon.....sounds like a good deal..... catch a movie after that, maybe ocean's 13?
it's 8.50pm on a thursday night, i'm derek chan, and that's it for today! YA-HA!!!!

chapter 19
yesterday, got myself a new pair of shoes..... visited my ex-colleagues in the cathy restaurant.... and... nothing else. met up with yue ying, only for awhile. hung out with qi jun, ren yu, yi lin (i still can't tell who is who because i never asked).
ok....right now. i'm occupied with downloading anime. i just hope i don't get caught. hahahaha, and dad got the family a new flat screen (he owe us big for frying the old one).
hm... the week up ahead is full of events. but i really can't attend all of them. on friday, there are 3 events..... some air force talk, aaron's church soccer "cage" event, and bye bye maggie (she's leaving the cathy to go back malaysia to study).
i have to find a cloning formula soon or i'd be in trouble. right, that's it for today, and i hope something interesting happens real soon. bye bye

chapter 18 : early bird
first up, i kinda lost my way in eunos. the damn place was like a construction site. i can't find my way to the air base or the medical centre. in fact, i missed the stop and went one more stop ahead.
but the funny thing is, i'm still the first person to be examined. well, back to the clinic. i'm still kinda worried about the hearing test. i could hardly hear anything in my left ear. still, i tried to pick up the almost ultrasonic noises. well, as for BoJu, it seems he's got this irregular heartbeat every 20 counts. otherwise, we're both okay.
i'm really sleepy now. my insomnia kept me awake again last night. it's a nightmare with no dreams. i'm gonna take a nap now. i'll update again later. bye bye

chapter 17 : barbeque and movies
alright guys and gals, tonight's post is a short one. i'm not feeling well and got medical check up tommorrow. wish me luck. i have to get into SYFC for a certain someone and my dreams.
and hey, i beat all the guys down in daytona USA, though marvin proved to be a real challenge. always ahead of me till the end, and i always manage to squeeze past him when the time is up.
o yea, i just remembered. i got my letter for enlistement already =X this bites. i ought to defer soon, if not i'll be in serious shit.
i really look forward to next week. see ya soon. goodnight 4C, and everyone else.

chapter 16 : and summer begins
alright, it's just the start of the holidays, and i'm tightly packed already? yea, tommorrow is party time.... alright. i've been waiting all month for this. and saturday? heh heh, i got to be somewhere in eunos by 8.00am. horrible. and i live in bukit timah. the bitch from SYFC was sniggering at me when she heard i lived in bukit timah (grr....) i'll burn her hair if she ever does that again. then again, she was kinda hot for some tongue tied woman (she can't speak properly YA-HA HA HA)
here's a promise i made to myself. if i ever get my PPL, i'll take my girlfriend on a ride in the sky with me to get a view of this ocean sunset
i will get it... i swear it on my soul
alright. holiday time. i guess i be on anime again folks. funny thing is, i rushed through the entire series of eye shield 21 before the common test ended, when it's actually after common test then i should slowly watch. well then, i guess i ought to find another anime to watch then. maybe darker than black.... that one takes real long to be uploaded.
something to moan about? yea, plenty. why is my holiday only 2 blardy weeks. its so miserably short
and that's about it for today.i'll probably rant longer next post. bye folks

chapter 15 : page 335
hey folks, i just got back from ngee ann. and guess what? i went there for nothing. i thought my meeting was today. but it was actually tommorrow. i guess i'm really losing it ^ ^
well anyway, though my one hour there was a waste, what comes after that was really interesting and suspicious.
guess what? i saw a familiar someone on my way home from ngee ann. yea. i've seen her a few times in bukit timah already. so this would be like my third time.i actually followed her from blk 5 toh yi drive to the bukit timah market. she was like carrying this pink umbrella, and still as fat as ever. i had a feeling she sorta recognized me, but i was sure of one thing. it was her. miss betty lee of fuhua secondary school. grossed out XD
so yea, i tailed her all the way to bukit timah market where i gave up. no point in following her anymore. i got sick of looking at her anyway.
so what was she doing in toh yi drive anyway? doesn't she drive a car? could she be having an affair? sick XD
for those of you who don't know where toh yi drive is, it's the HDB flats right outside ngee ann's hostle.
well, too bad, it's the last post for today, i got work to do. see ya soon
chapter 15
so please, let's chat. and if you feel the blog's alittle lame, (espeacially the greeting note) do feel free to comment.

chapter 14
today is the second day of common test. EG2. kinda easy. and tommorrow is a break before Engineering mechanics.
well today, i got alot of news from different people. it just makes my life harder each day. first up. we have old hag from CATS. the bitch called me to nag at me, saying my group hasn't done market listing and as the leader blah blah blah...
next up we have SYFC. apparently, they messed up my saturday instead of thursday. follow ups include mr choo jia hao and the sudden 8th june 4c 06 outing timing. and we have the ex-UG members telling me the timing has been shifted to the 8th of june as well.
hey! can everyone just make up their mind to and tell me events in a week's advance! my hair will drop bald at the rate things are done! it makes me mad!
I WANT A DAY WHEN EVERYONE CAN GO TOGETHER! DAMMIT!
well, that's enough yelling for today. it lowers my testerones -_- so everyone. maybe this week isn't so great. but next week is definately something i look forward to. an outing with someone i like. but hey. things could happen. i'll just wait and see. so that's it for today. by the way, have you ever met someone who has 2 sides of personality? here's a not so good example
hahahahaha, ok, i know i look totally weird and stupid, but hey, totally retard? its definately something to ponder over.

chapter 14 : a robin's first test
and the fun starts here. tommorrow is EG2 people. it's gotta be a piece of cake if you done your homework.
so what about you ladies and gentlemenn? how was your common test so far? as for those not in ngee ann, how are the holidays coming along? i promised 4c to go watch movie on friday, and saturday the ex-UG people will go barbeque or something like that.
so what would you do at the end of common test. apparently, the first thing i have to do is go SYFC to hand in my application stuff. hm..... it's going to be a long day. o yea, my bike is still out of commission after the accident. it's a boring wet monday how is it going? i'm very very bored and i probably won't be posting anything tonight.
so have a good day ladies and gents. some other time perhaps

chapter 13
hahaha, alright, it's not something we should squabble about. just give it a rest already. anyways, update in common test mugging. i didnt't get much farther than i did in o levels. instead, i got glued to anime (shit) and messed up my studying plans. luckily, i did manage to cover the parts that seem to be coming out for tommorrows ETE test ( i think...and i hope). i've been pretty lazy recently, and since the bike accident, my right hand hasn't recovered. thankfully the backside's good as old.
just to add abit more complains, each morning, i wake up to find more new injury spots on my body. it doesn't stop there, showering and sleeping has become quite a painful affair as i can't lie on my right elbow (some nasty cuts) and right buttock (still alittle bruised) without screaming for help.
well, it's getting pretty late ya.
ever heard of the saying, if a man were to walk a thousand miles, he carries the first 999 miles with him, and lets go of the last mile. think about it.... if you ever figure out what it ever means, feel free to comment. but please don't put any rebuking nonsense.

chapter 12: a graveled robin
it's a silly question to ask because i'm not doing so good myself. for those of you who know out there, i'm doing so-so now. for those of you who don't know what happened, i'm doing so-so. for those of you who wish i had been killed back then, curses you to blazes.
today couldn't have a better start. i woke up ten minutes late, took 5 minutes to drink my daily glass of chocolate milk, and then realised the toilets were all occupied by my family. how late can you get. by the time i left the house i was late as hell. couldn't find a better time to use my mountain bike. and it couldn't get any better.
as i was going down hill, i applied brakes to slow myself down. as usual, my nano was in my ear and i was kind of oblivious to cars, BUT, i was still going damn slow. then it happened, right at the bottom of the hill.
it's a T junction and i was turning right. what luck. a car that moved at the speed of F1 cars zoomed right in front of me. i jammed my brakes like sqeezing hot dogs and sailed over my bike and rolled on the road.
totally ungraceful, and the driver was a hot chick. what luck. i stood up on a shaking right leg, adjusted my crumpler and picked up my bike. totally shaken. i pushed myself and my bike to the side of the road and the lady leaned out of the window and asked, "are you ok?" like hell i was. that's the best question to ask a guy who flew of his bike. well at least my handsome face wasn't scarred (just kidding ^^)
well, i just waved her off and told her i was fine. apart from the fact that i am totally brusied, i'm still alive. here's the funny thing. in that micro-sceond, i had 2 choices to make. one was to zoom past the car and risk everything. and the other was to lose a limb than a life (what a hard choice to make, i mean, i want to be a pilot, and who would marry me if i had no right hand? i want to get married by 25 ya know). so yea, i took the second choice. thankfully, nothings broken. just a very sore backside, scrapped elbow, slightly bruised knee, and a half-maimed right hand. the rest of the journey to ngee ann was probably my most painful one and the quickest one.
by the time i got to the NDT site, i was breaking into cold and hot sweat. automatically, the first question i got from edwin was, "did you run or jog to school?" BACKSIDE! if i had ran to school, i wouldn't even bein this condition. but thanks la edwin. at least you asked. so i had to live the rest of my day in painful ordeal. sitting down or standing up can take as long as 10 seconds. climbing up-stairs never looked this akward. and walking had never been so sexy.
well, that's it for today. wish us all well for common test, some starts tommorrow, and for everyone else, next week. all the best for mugging
P.S LORETTA IS BACK
