when fire meets ice

it's almost new year's eve and, i haven't set out my new year's resolutions.

christmas was pretty quiet, but it was post christmas that was busy. painting banners, maximum tune 3, NCC, fish & co., swensens, dental appointment with hot hot dentist joanna choo, jane's post christmas/early new year's party, and finally not forgeting my new commitment, SYFC.

as the holidays draws itself to a close. i find myself wishing that time can just disappear and just leave me alone. it's been a bumping year, and i as i wirte out the day's post, i improvise on some new resolutions for the coming rat year.

so what's first?
1. get through SYFC all the way to PPL no sweat, and AT year 2 no worries.
2. get a girlfriend this year
3. stop getting groin rashes and skin problems on my left foot.
4. have a nice birthday this year, even if it's a quiet one.
5. stay healthy, don't overwork myself

i feel so tired. even at the end of the year. it's like when fire meets ice. work = fire. me = ice.

i still have plenty of assignments left untouched. IAC/COMT, AMP and SYFC stuff. so when you put fire and ice together, there's going to be alot of cloudy weather. it'll rain on me soon. let's just hope new year's going to be alittle quiet, just like christmas.

what you see can scar you for life

i'm being serious here. on the 20th of dec 0030 hours in the morning, i saw things that left me hanging. and the people with me were left with ice kachang melting in their open mouths.

as you've known already, i've been going back to the chalet for 4 days straight. and yesterday was a stay over. night cycling from downtown to changi village was a short one, though it took an hour.

i got sores all over my balls and ass by the time we got to changi village. and so, we hung around there eating some deserts, and we got quite a shock of our lives. a very beautiful woman happened to walk past our table...and i couldn't help noticing, she wasn't exactly female.... she had a man's built. and okay, if that wasn't convincing enough, the group of people that followed was. one was definately a transvestite and the rest were like ugly vultures. i choked on the ice kachang when i first saw them settle at the table near us.

okay, i'm talking about this one person. muscular. tanned. long hair. had boobs. looked like some cow. and had a deep voice. she/he tried to dress revealing and it looked like the end of the world.

commandmant number one to all transvestites out there. don't dress like a woman until you really are one.

so... we finished up the desert, and headed to changi beach park. it's a breezy night, beautiful night sky, and excellent landing and take off views of airplanes. shame we had to leave early.

we cycled back to the resort and hung around pasir ris beach park for abit. and went back to shower and sleep.

so what else do you want to know?

keep in touch, i'll tell you more.

a story of love and obsession

its almost one month, again, since i last blog, but I have been BUSY.

yes, busy. how so? i'm officially in the youth flying club! yes.... i'm bragging, i feel like some show off doing stunts again. but hey, i feel good about it. the only worry left, is how long am i going to last in there.

ok, 1st comes 1st. in 8 days, its christmas. feels good doesn't it.... quickly and silently, one year has waltzed right past our life. and next month, i'll be turning 18.... so i guess that means its time for some companionship? so love? so romance? or maybe just the samething i do every year.

like what hassan said, you keep seeing those hot chicks, but never manage to hook them up. i have to admit, he's kinda right. but anyways, its nothing i should worry about now, since i'm born like that. what i really should concern about is my life in school and SYFC..... like any good child, studies come first. and sex, much later.

and next up, its chalet week in costa sands downtown east, and only the gay brotherhood is there. sadly, why only them? the chalet was booked way in advanced, and everyone promised to come. but apparently.... i can't really bring myself to carry on.

but its fun there. i've been there on monday, and tuesday. and juggling the fun and SYFC is no mean feat. i'm gonna try heading down tommorrow again, so guys, try to turn up as well.

its the start of the holidays, and i dread to return to school next month/year. i can predict, a couple of my common tests was done pretty so-so, and my thermofluid went flunked out the window. and i worked so hard for it. it's more like a scam.

well.... no more school for now. it's time for fun. except there are still projects. AMP, and IAC/COMT, and SYFC. life's like a bed of roses eh? it's beautiful, but there are thorns everywhere. so watch where you put your pillow.

christmas, what are you doing this christmas? slacking? couch potato? wandering arounbd orchard/vivo? well, i hope there's someone who can keep me company this chirstmas. and i hope it isn't my family again this year.

hahaha, happy holidays folks, i'll see all of you on christmas.

how many times do people need to save the world?

ok, it's been over a month since i last blogged....really, there's nothing much to blog about recently, and school work, hasn't been good at all.

hey guys, if you want to call me out, pick a nicer place please? i don't intend to spend my weekend in a dingy room with pool tables. so.... please, come up with something better.

recently, i've been watching lots of interesting stuff. thanks to abel, i've manage to get a hold of Heroes season 1, and abit of season 2.... and man vs. wild season 1 and 2, future weapons, and life in the undergrowth. all of which, are great stuff.

heroes....it's a great show. except for the fact, it's really long winded, and, it's the second time they are trying to save the world. so once wasn't exactly enough. i mean, won't anyone gets tired of it?

yesterday was fun.... i was hanging out with qi jun, delvin, wee keong, yi ping and shuai ming.... it was fun. and....at the end of the day, i won something. meet spongebob:

i hope to see you guys and girls soon..... it's almost christmas. and my birthday, is in 2 months.

chow

a new age of people....and a new age of idiots

its day 3 of school! and NO! i'm not lovin' it!

i got a big shock of my life on day one. i heard the modules this sem were pretty tough from the 1.2 students last sem during subang, but when the AMP lecturer came into class and discussed the module, i thought to myself

"derek old man, is this what you really heard of last month?"

i kind of panicked. but anyway, lesson ended at 12 noon. so that was it for the day.

the next day.......

things were totally unheard of. the AMP lecture continued. we had 8 chapters of dung to memorise and chuck it out on the exam paper. i felt like a total dick. the lecturer was so very boring, it was almost impossible to stay awake in his class. follow up this horrible module, was another one that put people on the edge of their seats, chewing up their nails and paper. C programming = learning computer language. which was complicated, and boring, and tedious, and stupid. the good thing about it, is probably it's not examinable.

let's go back abit further. to the days before school reopened. the timetable was out and when i looked at it, the first words were like: god damn it. it's a messed up schedule and my days in ngee ann were a mess.

but, its really alot better than some others, in a way.... at least mine doesn't have a huge interval in-between lessons. while others could use the time to.... smell grass, pluck grass, smell air and all sorts.

its back to basics on wednesdays and fridays. D & T all over again. learning isometric and orthographic drawing, and drawing on the computer.

and mathematics took to another level with EM3B. but still cannot make it in university.

here's what happened just now. i went to westmall for a haircut. as some of you know, it's impossible for me to do so right now, but it's really itching on the sides and back.

i went to the hairdressers, and the said
"25 bucks"

no shit, with my hair this short, it's still 25 bucks. i said, no way. go find some grass to cut.

i went to another one nearby, and the said
"18 dollars"

i argued, and the finally said
"16 la 16 la"

the hairdresser behind me was like

man... this guy still needs a cut? he doesn't even have hair long enough to cover his pubes. but he was still ok with it. and it turned out pretty ok on my end too.... but the back is pretty nerdy.

tomorrow is IS day, so it's pretty much slack. but i have to go ngee ann earlier to patch up my notebook. some programs still not in there to do my work.

well, that's it for this period.i'll be back soon.

ok....i dont exactly like high school musical, but the song's pretty good....so i'll share it with you

my dad... the senile trouble

morning everyone.

it's alittle early to blog, so i'll make it short. dad lost his marbles again today. he actually said he'd take the housing agent to court. i was like, "dude! what's your business man?"

and that's not the end of it... when he didn't get the warm white steamed rice from the char siew man, he actually went over to his shop and dog fight with him. i was having dinner with him, and there were cute girls nearby and.... yes, i have no face to show anyone anymore.

awhile later, qi jun called me out to hang out with his peeps. china girl and whitey girl.

chilled cooled and tired.
here's something i thought i might show you guys. thrilling adventures of the sky.
and here's another one. the horros of the air

guinness.......how pool came about

i'll come back to the title in awhile... so let's get on with today's happenings.

oK. today, sortied to jurong point with a small squadron of "monster hunter" players, played pool, played daytona, played world combat, and met adrian and his friends. it seems they were just done with their prelims.

after that, just hung around frontier CC.... and took some pictures. no gay pics, but hey, which guy like to cam whore in the first place eh? there was a photo gallery there, of scenery taken by professional or amatuer photographers from all over the world. so i took photos of some of the nice ones, but the lighting was really bad. in some of the photos i took, only half the picture was bright and colourful... whereas the other half was dimmed.

and then i went back home, bought pasta and went home. well, after yesterday's dung scare in the lift, i decided a much healthier way of travel.... however, it does have it's drawbacks.

it seems couples often make use of the stairwell as a "make-out" spot, and do their lovey-dovey there. so you know, i was on my way home up the stairs, and then i encountered this couple, doing their...talking.

how inconvinient. i mean, can't they talk somewhere else? it's not exactly private in the stairwell too, you know what i mean. and then they had to stand up and let me through. i probably turned off their urges or something like that.

and back to the title. how pool came about?

it's a full moon out there......

ok look... i take back what i said in my last post.

i figured things couldn't get as bad as they are now with all the noise and everyday sneezing. but just now, it got a whole lot worse.

i was heading out for dinner with my old man. we were about to step into the lift when my dad jumped back and shouted in disgust.

er.....i thought someone had like plastered some wet mashed up cardboard on the lift buttons. but... on closer look at it...ooo the smell was terrible. someone actually smeared the entire set of lift buttons with human poo.....

and it was before dinner....

couldn't eat much later on. didn't really have the appetite. when we got back, the bangalahs were like cleaning the dung with newspaper. and i was like wonder.... never use wet cloth?

my neighbour was like there, holding a bottle of DKNY perfume. spraying scent into the lift seems to be the best solution. water is out of the question... and so is using the lift.

so much for mid-autumn eh? well, JC kids, keeping on going. once your promos are over, call me out.

baby, do you like my sweater?

hey jia hao. you still haven't return me my aber crombie yet. i getting very sian liao. my wardrobe missing my favourite sweater. you better return it to me after your promos end, or i'll turn you into a choo choo train.

nothing much to post about. went back to my old casa to settle the PUB thing. and meet up with my old mates. even if it was for only awhile. it was still fun.

still it beats being only in my room with only DVDs, VCDs to keep me occupied.

the thing is, it gets really lonely when you only have dad to talk to. he's pretty senile nowadays. it scares the shit out of me, when he asks me if i ate lunch, when it's 3 o clock....and i already had lunch next to him at 1.

as of now..

most likely, my chances of getting into SYFC is 100%. but my chances of staying in there are pretty low.

my new residence is a really noisy place. can't sleep at night without shutting the windows. constantly awoken by a scrambler, hardy davison, or a truck with a choked exhaust. just when i want to sleep in later, the garbage truck comes with full throttle. sleeping early also poses a problem. the last train doesn't leave until about 12.15am and the last bus leaves at 1am.

convient as it is, it's quite a price to pay.

a moment in life with me

evening folks.

there isn't much to post about today, just maybe about my dad losing his marbles again over some housing agent dispute last month.

as a request from ken, i had to edit yesterday's post about him.

very very bored staying at home. i can feel my flesh decay. call me out, someone. please.

twist, eat, run

TODAY's the DAY.

yes. big day for long sleeve shirts and pants. it's the SYFC interview day, and i was nearly late. long long long day.

it's very hot in the afternoon, and damn, the heat baked the earth like a pie. i got to the woodlands just in time to take 168 to Jalan Kayu. everything was going well until i reached the bus stop at jalan kayu. i realized the bus to west camp was like at 1.30pm... another 15 mins to go.....

ok.....then another 15 mins passed and the bus came, entered the bus bay, and left, without picking anyone up.

so i was left stranded there with 2 other SYFC guys. also going for interview. so we were like sian and damn it. so i called Bo Ju to see if he was on his way and if he could pick us up. and the story goes on blah blah....

and then when me and Bo Ju entered the waiting room, the lady there was like; why so late? then i answered; toilet. XD then she did all the admin stuff and me and Bo Ju were like last to be interviewed.....

then came the waiting time.... i swear waitng is the most dangerous thing to do in that room. i could have died from boredom. it was so boring. music was forbidden by Bo Ju, and the admin lady was like yik yik yak yak, wouldn't stop yapping away about SYFC problems and her bonus.

then at last. it was my turn inside.

pretty much stupid and lame stuff they ask. about my previous NCC lifestyle. how i'm going to manage my life in SYFC. what career i look to in the future. what kind of plane i'd like to fly in RSAF.....

the latter was quite and interesting one. i said i'd fly the F-15 strike eagle. why? they asked.

i felt stumped....
derek;" i feel it's safer beacuse it has a twin engine"

general manager:" you think a pilot feels safe whenever he flies meh?"

busted....
derek:" uh... on second thought, because it looks nicer?"

general manager:" why? because got twin tail arh?"

i don't know what to say so....
derek:" uh...no...because more sexy"

so other than that..... everything else was pretty much A Ok....

well, the put the long story short about what kind of life SYFC is like, it's hectic. no time for girl's. no time for other CCA. and must travel alot.

so..... that's it for today. anyone in for a game of pool? call me. or swimming? call me. soccer? call me. anytime..... i got my new sexy tiwsty yummy nokia 5700. no fear, i'll always hear my phone.

er.... is this blog still in use?

good question. i don't know. let's find out.

er.... evening folks. it's been like 2 months since i last posted something on the blog. it's really a shame. interesting stuff do happen sometimes, it's just that i can't seem movtivated to fill in something.

ok. big news. i just moved into my 4 room apartment in bukit batok central. <>

this is some shit here. it takes like 30 seconds to get to westmall and 1 minute to get to the bus interchange. how cool is that. i pretty much unpacked all my stuff, and... no; i still have to share the room with my sister. >>sucks<<

yes yes, event after event keeps on happening like some wild street race. more good news, i got my letter, short listed to go for an interview in SYFC... alrighty yea....

recent events such as....subang trip..... >>very very big mistake<< i didn't even get to sit in the damn cockpit. i just like.... stared at the blasted planes for like 4 hours.... and it was my turn, they like cancled the flights. so in the end, only 7 people flew in the eagles....

why did they cancel the flights? thank some caucassian (or was it malaysian?) pilot.... apparently, while landing, the plane crashed and landed in a pile next to the runway. pilot and student were busted up... but oK. no photos.... but the look on my face was priceless... for the rest of the trip... we ended up shopping and borrowing more money to shop. i know.... guys shop too.... couldn't really afford the good stuff, so i had to do with the not-so-good items. support piracy... it's better than the original.

so.... you know... i kinda delayed my post because of my exams..... did oK.... but the GPA was really suck. it's like a low low 3.32

gotta work harder next month.

and it's holidays time.... and it's ending in a few weeks time. i guess i can kiss goodbye this holiday soon. it's pretty lonely. i kinda miss my homies back home. now i have to call this apartment home.... no regrets, but it wasn't my choice.

JC kids, study hard, i know you won't be reading this post anytime soon, but hey, your promos are gonna kill you. if you know it can't work out, just call me, i'll speak to my course manager, get you a recomendation letter to aerospace in ngee ann to keep me company! HA!

best for your promos, if you flung, call me. if you pass, call me, we go for pool. =)

so, see you 'round, keep in touch. my new address is:

block 623
bukit batok central
#09-678
singapore 650623

the following information is classified. if you're sending me a snail mail, use the address. if you're looking for my house, try to call me first? k?

epilouge

today, is heaven.

hi everyone, finally, something exciting has happened. today is the day i take a joyride up in the clouds, 4000 feet up with 2 other students and a pilot.

a better way to describe today was, G-Force.

hahaha, yes. today started out at SYFC as wet and damp. the flight was delayed for an hour. and when it was finally clear to take to the skies, it was already 4.05pm. the pilot took me, BoJu and Benjamin.

what can i say? flying is one of man's greatest achivements so far. and when the plane took off it was like feeling free! no longer bound by gravity anymore!

up at 4000 feet, we saw singapore from a different angle. small, compact, and hazy. the weather was so cloudy that the scene turned pretty grey. but it was still nice. and as we got higher, the pilot was pointed out several landmarks from the plane window, the cool thing was, he actually used the wing to point to the landmarks. he was pretty cool for an old geezer.

next up, we get to experience the G-Force. yea, and i made the most nice, swooning Woooooooooooo, everytime we hit the G-Force. he tiped the plane left at 90 degrees and banked the plane left. straightened up, and followed with a tip to the right and banked sharply right again. everytime he did such a maneouver, every organ in my body moved up to my lungs and my heart was squeezing out of my neck.

hahaha, and that wasn't the end of it. he pitched upwards sharply again, and banked leftwards. man, that was heart stopping, he didn't really say he was going to do such a move. then what followed it was the best one yet. he pitched the plane down, and it sky rocketed down to earth and as he did so, he rolled the plane gently back to straight and level. wow, i can actually feel my butt leaving the seat.

hm.... what was really funny was when we came in to land, we were losing altitude so fast that the throttle had to be on full again. when we landed, the pilot complained we were too heavy and it was impossible to land without full throttle. Note* if any of you don't understand, approach any AT student or SYFC dude and ask them.

well that's it for today, and todays song is,
lovestoned... i think she knows - justin timberlake

news flash

prelude

hi everyone. i'm back from a long draught. it's been raining constantly this week and tomorrow is my joyride at SYFC. pray hard it doesn't rain tomorrow.

i'm really sorry i coudn't blog all of last week. but hey! today is speacial. it's marcus's 17th birthday today.

i can't really say the past few weeks events have been exciting or fun. just boring, mundane and hectic. not my kind of lifestyle. and as time flies by, i'm nearing my semester exam. and the one thing i'm really worried about is ETE. the only module i can't keep up with.
and neither can i say i'm enjoying the life right now. i'm having some second thoughts about my future again, and i'm really wondering if i should take a step back or rush to the end? i'm really having quite abit on my mind.

talk about the flipside of lifethe things i'm really glad about is CATS is finally over, S & W is the last one next week, and i'm left with one more major bad ass project on my backside. at least the world isn't short of pretty girls XD hahaha. it isn't the end yet. i've still got a long long way to go

i kinda miss her... even though i've told myself countless and endless times not to think of her, she just slides into my head unknowingly. kind of like poison in my mind. what's worse, i keep thinking of the blasted ETE module. and it turns out, that seems to be the cause my of my short term memory loss. xgroanx...
i read harry potter and the DH. wasn't that much of a kick like i expected, really short too. and the ending was pretty mushy and cheezy as well. but it's recommended for all viewers.

well i've come to the end of my post for tonight. i'm sorry, that some stories can't have a happy ending, as for many like myself.

good night and happy birthday marcus. and today's songs are all by the click five, from their latest album, morden minds and pastimes.

chapter 32

it's friday night, baby, are you sleeping? hahaha, it's getting pretty late now. i'm really tired. it's a short post for today.

firstly, today's events aren't really eciting. same as yesterday. recently, life has become pretty mundane, and boring. i need some edge on my life.

things i'm looking forward to? this sunday, i'm going over to my new house to check it out. see what's it like. i'll give you some insight in my new home. and, i hope i can get a new mobile phone this weekend.

so well, that's it for today. turn in early. it's saturday tommorrow. don't wake up late. try to go to the beach...

chapter 31 : broken souls

it's 11.30pm right now, sorry for posting this late. i just got back from NCC officers meeting at westmall..... damn, mr chia sure can talk alot.

i'm tired. broken. weakened. vulnerable. i need a break. i haven't been able to get up from bed properly the entire week. i feel damn wobbly all over. even when doing CATS project, i nearly fell asleep in the breeze. god, that felt so good.

today, S & W was wet and dirty. my kind of thing. learning how to dive behind the ball and catch it. apparently, it was harder than it looks. and the person who really got on my nerves today was nicholas. that clown has all the verbs in your face, but can't make himself useful at all.

i don't feel like complaining anymore. i just want to hug something and go to sleep. my kind of thing.

apparently, i found out something about myself. i officially can't have any relationship with choclates. not even chocolate milk..... it gives me acne outbreaks. just when life has taken everything from me, and now, even choclate milk? last X'mas, it was choclates, last year peanut butter, and now this? i feel so pathetic.

it can't get any worse than this. if only i can turn back time....
this is clocks, by coldplay. i guess this is where time can really be turned back.

chapter 30 : just the right amount of feelings

good afternoon laddies, i'm blogging early today, because, i don't think i will have much time tonight to blog. anyways, this is just an attempt to make up for lost last week.

today wasn't exactly my happiest day of my life.

and to start it of, mr liang stopped me from stepping into class this morning because i managed to avoid all the temperature taking checkpoints and coming to class without my "sticker". then, my team presenting ETE lecture today was only a one man team. me. only i was ready to present my lecture. next.... we just receive full details on AMMP project, for assembly of aircraft. and it's due in 2 weeks. and FAT project has taken a major setback, my airbus specifications has to be scrapped and done from scratch on another model.

right now, i'm feeling really dead. and tommorrow and the day other will be hell. hectic schedules for the days and weeks ahead.

thinking about it really makes me pissed. i just wish for one day to like, take a stroll on the beach, pick shells, soak my body in the salty water and dry myself in the blasting hot sun.

i guess that's it for today. i'm feeling pretty fed up. so before i sign of, let me present you something.

this is the fray, with "over my head"

chapter 29

hello chums. how's it going ya?it's been awhile since i last blogged. i'm kinda busy with my social life, so forgive me.

aerospace technology has taken quite a turn into hardcore. literally. the guys in my class resort to pornographic videos sometimes... well, the one who really started all this gay porn stuff would be william, and his supplier from RP. hahaha, ok. it gets pretty cold, so i won't say anymore.

ok. projects have started coming in. mr yeoh, tutor/lecturer of FAT has issued assignments on aircraft comparison. yeah. i made a big mistake choosing airbus A350-800 as my airbus product (it's too new).whereas edwin is having problems with his russian aircrafts (too ulu) and shun yuan with his boeing 7 series (too high tech).

i guess we all have our ups and downs. ETE also has taken quite a serious phase. as we are nearing the end of the module, we actually have no idea what we have been studying uptill now (it gets worse). mr ong has asked us to do a presentation by tommorrow, and well, i have no idea what i'm presenting, even if the work is all done.

i'm kinda tired from the start of the term. we get back, we start work, we get bored of it, we want to quit. well, that's angela's case. it gets pretty sad. we end up saying cold jokes about being an all guys class. but, come to think of it, it's really not that bad. at least now angela doesn't have to feel the pressure of being the only girl in the class.

anyways, i've been trying out something recently. the piano. yea. and i'm not good at it. hahahaha. i've been trying it out for leisure. playing songs from different bands. augustana, the fray, coldplay, the all-american rejects. so far, it's only the all-american rejcts that has proved too difficult. as for the others, i got them right.... somehow.

and good news to my friends living in bukit batok. i'm moving to the HDBs near westmall, as for my friends in hoover park estate, i'll still be living near here, so i'll play soccer anytime... if possible.

and today's music video is..... the scientist. by coldplay.
good night everyone

yellowcard episode

these are 2 simliar videos but different styles of singing. i hope you'd enjoy the clips.

it's been a few years already. nearly 5, since i started listening to yellowcard. this is the first song i ever heard from their album.... and i'd say, it's one of my favourites.

this song, and only this song so far, has lyrics that makes me feel, and understand, that love is possible for anyone... even if he's the devil. it sounds really mushy, i admit it, but hey, the song caught me off guard back then, and till this day, it's in every MP3 i've ever owned, every CD i've ever burnt, every previous computer in my house and the song i've played everyday.

that's yellowcard, with "ocean avenue". good day everyone.

chapter 28 : the great escape

it's a humid evening, good night everyone. how're you doing?

it's really boring in my room... hearing the cats outside meowing and growling away at each other.... it's mating season again... i think.

nothing big happened today. just some bleeps and bloopers.

the funny thing is, is the fragile disappearance of miss angela kwek. after attending the 2 hour lecture with mr ong yong hoe, she disappeared out of thin air.... well, she didn't turn up for school last friday as well.... could mean something fishy.

well, if angela fails to turn up for school in the next few days, i'm likely to know what happened... and there goes our last and only female in our class... =(

good things to look forward to, my joyride is coming up on the 28th of this month. really really excited. i'll be like in the warrior and zipping around the sky like a bee with the pilot. totally cool. i guess some things are worth the wait... while others, i'm not to sure.

i'm trying to get over her, and move on. but it's harder than ever. i just made up my mind, that somethings can't be changed and some people aren't made for each other. i hope what i'm doing is the right thing.... because it's the hardest thing for me to do.

here's a music video for you. it's "the great escape" by the "boys like girls"

i hope to see you soon. signing off

chapter 27 : move, moving, moved on

evening everyone... it's a full moon out there in the dark night sky. for the lecherous males on the prowl, now's the time to do your every 28 day thing.....

the days in casa de chan has been pretty dark recently.... my parents are now in tragic pain.... we sold the house (undisclosed sum) and now we can't buy anything with this money...

i'm really lost.... as the child of this household, i can't do anything but pray for the storm to be over without any tragedy...

anyways, reality check, i'm currently working back at cathy on weekends. part-time. anyone who feels like dinning there please feel free to call for my service =D just messing with you, no way my manager will let me go near the guests.

hahaha, well, there's more to it, my assitant manager upsized my pay. from the usual 6, its become 7 bucks an hour. yea... at the rate it's going, i'm gonna get my new phone pronto. what do you think about 5700? it's the new click 5 phone. it's pretty snazzy. and very pretty. with the twisty twisty parts.....mmm.. my kind of thing.

ok folks, i'm getting really tired right now. i'm signing off. but before i go, here's : the darkness - i believe in a thing called love.

ok... it's pretty gay. but look at it from a different perspective. how about exploring sex the wrong way? hahaha, have a good laugh at it.

the band behind the band - webisode 4

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

it's a really stuffy evening on a tuesday. hey folks, i know i promised the details on the saturday events, but i never knew they would be delayed.

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

today's blog is suppose to be pretty long, but i don't have the pictures of today's events with me yet, so maybe i'll post it some other time.

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

ok little boys and girls, it's a humid friday night and yes! i just got back from jurong point with the little band of boys from 4C. and now, we're deciding what we're going to do tommorrow.....

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

alright folks, it's almost weekend! and for the poly kids, it's almost time for school..again. it's been too short a holiday, but hey, there were some really interesting events that happened.

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

it's a sunny sunny hot hot tuesday afternoon. hello there, it's high time again. today's the second day of the second week.i just feel like skipping fencing training... i wasn't really good at it anyway.

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

the feeling i have now is really pushing me over the edge....

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

gom-ba-wang everyone. it's a warm thursday evening and what's happening on your side? i just got back from jurong point. Fantastic 4 movie was pretty good, very humourous and alittle lame on the action. still, its recommened for leisure.

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

it's the first day of school holidays. YA-HA! hey folks. how's it coming along. there's really nothing much to post today, yesterday, and the day before, because nothing much happened.

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

it's my first weekend holiday in 2 months. feels great. but i had to start early anyway.

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

YA-HA (HACK HACK COUGH COUGH)! what's happening folks? i just got back from marina bay steamboat with 4C 06. today, was kinda fun. watched pirates of the carribean, and ate steamboat. upsized for 15 people.

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

ok folks, YA-HA! today is yue ying's birthday, let's all wish her a happy youthful 17th birthday ya?

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

YA-HA!

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

alright! YA-HA! i got the tag board up and running after 3 weeks. sorry about the delay. that's the latest addition to the blog. as everyone can see and hear, the playlist has expanded even farther to 50++ songs.

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

hello folks. now, now. don't get upset over last night's untitled post. it's just a hoax setup for sok yin.

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

literally, it is my first test today. yes. my first common test in ngee ann, ETE. well, it wasn't so bad after all. got me worried last night for nothing.

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

evening folks. i guess the full moon worn itself out. hm..... sorry people, didn't manage to post anything last night. but, i bet people aren't expecting anything much also. it's been awhile since we last met, pei en, and could you give the underwear issue a rest already? it's not cow patches, it's leopard spots. signicficant difference girl. if that's not enough to keep it low; you look weird with those geeky glasses in sec 1 XD

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

good evening people. it's still a full moon out there. how do you do?

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

chapter 11 page 245

good evening everyone, it's a full moon out there, for all buddhist worshippers,a pleasant vesak day to you.

just came back grocery shopping with mum. looking for prune juice for my consitipated sister.hm..... i guess the problem lies with her diet. with all the fruits and veggies and no carbohydrates, there is absolutely nothing to launch.

yea, still thinking about lame jokes to crack from this afternoon. i thought about one. i still remember back in secondary 2, it was just after recess. me, delvin, qi jun, kok meng had just finished eating and headed to the toilet for a pee. man, i'll never forget that day. the urinals were totally occupied, leaving only the cubicles. so, i had no choice but to se them. as i got nearer to the cubicles at the far end, i heard someone having a piss, but i didn't know which one he was in. then, i just randomly picked one which i thought was empty. jackpot! i walked into the one with someone in there. the only problem was, it wasn't just someone, it was my principal. fuhuanites out there, still remember mr ong? yea, his facial expression was priceless. so was mine ^^v

and then, i just scrapper back to class. forget about peeing, i nearly wet my pants seeing him in the same cubicle as me. the only thing that buggs me is that he never bothered to lock the cubicle door in the first place. good lord. how do they teach about privacy in the past. com'n, it's the 21st century, no one takes a pee in the open -_-


apparently, i wasn't the only one who walked into someone taking a piss. the other fella would be qi jun. it appears his is much worse. the same scenario as me. but the thing is, he walked into the same cubicle as the guy having a piss, turned to lock the door and turn back to finally realise there was someone in the cubicle having a wee.

man, delvin who reported this to me couldn't talk properly after that. he seems to be having stomach pains from the laughing.

well tommorrow is back to school again. and common test is creeping up the shoulders and into my nerves..... it's a headache.

well, that's all for tonight, see you soon.

chapter 11 : Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn

good afternoon ladies and gentelmen, it's a sunny afternoon with thunderclouds hanging low, and how do you do?

it's vesak day everyone, so grab your candles and walk around the temple and chant sutras (for my buddhists friends out there, no offence). anyways, it's still to early to do that, and i'm stuck at home, alone with rat. my parents are out doing their vesak day thing, my sisters are probably having a candle light lunch on a vesak day (it's pretty cold, i know). so anyways, today, i'm trying to crack some cold jokes. o yea, that reminds me, the other day i tried visiting ah sok's blog, the only response and feed i got were 5 words. thats strange....

hm..... i used to be able to do this when i was a kid, but back then i guess everyone has screwed up sense of humour. it was kinda easy to break everyone elses funny bone and they'll be on the floor all day.

a druken man stumbled out of a bar, knocked over a garbage bin, walked into a lamp post, and fell flat on the sidewalk right in front of a fussy old lady, who saw everything.

"if i were in your condition, young man," said the old crone, "i'd shoot myself"

"lady," the drunk replied groggily, "if.... you were in.... my condition, you'd.... miss"

that was kinda lame, wasn't it? how about poetry?

a doctor fell into a well
and broke his collar bone.
a doctor should attend the sick,
and leave the well alone.

this isn't really working, is it? this feels kinda lame after all. well, i'll just go with it.

what did julius ceasar say when brutus stabbed him in the back? ouch? this feels very stupid and cold. o, look outside, the sky turned dark and the storm clouds are thundering, i better go get my lunch pronto. talk later

chapter 10 page 220 : funny bits of the past

it's 8 o clock, how do you do?

just reminicing about the past again. it just brings back some good laughs. ok, we don't have to go way back into the past, just a yesterday or a week before will do.

let's start week last week. how can i forget to post this last thursday? i guess i was too busy. well, while i was in the market with joan, wei kiat, and derek ng (yes, he's another person and we usually get mixed up when someone addresses us). we were having lunch before our pool session when we were discussing about shaving. yes the bathroom taboo, which all females prefer not to disclose whether or not they do shave. yes, hair. from head to toe. we talked about facial hair, stomach hair and down to problems with going under.

and to cap it off, there was this blonde woman (obviously not local) who sat next to us. yea, and the conversation kicked off. hm.... i guess i shouldn't have said some things, but it just came out.

we were actually discussing about women who had hair all over. talk on and on about how we knew some women had more facial hair than other guys XD and how some women had hair all over their arms.

but what actually shook the woman off her seat was the following line: "imagine a women who had chest hair" the woman's facial expression was PRICELESS. i couldn't stop shaking in my seat. o yea, and the final blow was dealt non other than by derek ng. the lad said he had stomach hair lining from his chest all the way down beyond his belly button and...further down la. so he lifted his T-shirt up and showed everyone the merchandise. good lord, the women stared at him as if he were some sex fiend.

yea, that was really funny. and what about yesterday? i didn't really want to mention this but well maybe for the greater fun, let's do this. i worked out at the gym yesterday with shun yuan. it wasn't exactly entertaining but it really spooked. i guess he was really working it out on the threadmill, running at 16km/h (i gave up on the threadmill earlier and hogged the push-down machine).

can you imagine someone tripping on a threadmill? the first person i saw to ever trip on the mill was shun yuan. and yes, he nearly skidded of the machine just when i was about to start pushing down ^^ the entire gym looked at him.... if it was me who skidded, i would have jumped through the glass window and into the pool to hide my face. you can see everything man, ungraceful tripping, legs flying about, arms flinging wildly. okok, that's enough fun about shun yuan, i promised not to make fun of him.

other funny events include trying to escape from mr ong's practical by saying my house was on fire. that one really made me laugh. and one that took place a long time ago, when someone actually commented that NCC T-shirts would look really hip if they were pink. XD how's that for fashion police.

probably my days of laughter are long long gone. and the climax of the week is coming to a close in a few hours time. and i wish everyone an enlightening vesak day tommorrow, and for those poly students, work hard, common test is no walk in the park. it's a walk through hell.

today's blog has been concluded, i wish everyone good night.

chapter 10 page 203

it's a sunny afternoon here in ngee ann, how do you do?
i'm sitting here in LT 51c in the cool air-conditioned hall. everyone here has just came from taking mr yeoh's FAT test.

well, i feel much better than before. the high has come back after a long 2 weeks drought. but still, memories of her linger with me. i feel like a despo sometimes. but it's just because i really like her.
anyways, mr ong right now is giving us a lecture Q&A on next week's common test. i'm really not expecting to do well in my ETE anyway.

because A:i didn't really study for it.
B: i didn't do well for the class tests, and
C: i don't unerstand what he's teaching.

afterall, everyone one knows there are 3 different kinds of people on the globe. people who make things happen, people who watch em' happen and people who just don't know what happened. i reckon it's a little too late to care about what happens now.

so now, i'll study my hardest for my 3 modules. and it's back to class for now. signing off

chapter 10 : the climax of the week

wednesday 30th may. today is lecture day. but not today. lectures will be 4 hours short. instead replaced by 2 hours of tests, 1 hour of lecture, and the rest is up to you. the climax of the week starts as usual, with EG2 tutorial. mr liang (the evil emperor from star wars), though he isn't exactly that bad, he's alittle "strange".everyone in te classroom is either studying or playing games or chatting online. for me? i blog. just looking to my left, i see shun yuan hard at work doing his ETE 4th tutorial. diagonally to my left, edwin concentrates hard on his MOL and looking in front of me, angela is checking through her foilsim.

it's a thundering morning on a very low wednesday. i'm derek, how's it going? my blogging time is almost up, i have revision to go through in a few minutes time. well anyway, i'll keep you updated today. today is the day when i post alot

talk later.....

chapter 9: the sad robin

the common tests are creeping up on me. recently, i haven't really been myself lately, and i don't like this feeling. i have no composure, no constant laughter, and no warmth in my heart.

probably that explains alot about the emo posts about the pasts. some bits of my past is way better than my present.

maybe it's because i miss someone alot....

the one day i will never forget, the 10 hours spent next to her. and now, i don't think i'll ever get a chance to go out or talk to her ever again. her birthday is coming soon, but i doubt i'd join her. her friends have priority over a measly boy like me.

it's a slightly damp evening on a tuesday, i'm derek, and how do you do? if the post is boring you, i suggest you just minimize this blog and listen to the music instead.


i worked out at gym werkz again today, it took half my life with it. so tiring. o yea, that reminds me, there were lots of cute girls there today (surprisingly). shun yuan became one hell of a horn dog. he stared out at the girl swimming in the pool while working out on the cycling machine. ^^ i guess he didn't need the TV.

well that's today's update, i'll post something else tommorrrow. bye

chapter 8

hm....... i just had a hair cut. it doesn't look that good on me at all. now that i think of it, i'd rather have no hair on my head. but i'd do my best to refrain from shaving off everything. the last time i did that it took the lives of many by storm ^_^ v hahaha, those were the wee wee days and the height of full-of-non-sense. i still miss the time retarding around the back of 4C, singing myself silly with jonathan and the radio, messing around with loretta and atiqah, laughing around with weird wendy and fazilah, abusing science with hassan and marvin, and of course, making miss chua's mouth drop open with horror

trapped in the joyful past, so nonstalgic that i can't seem to, or want to move on.

i've been thinking lately, i'd been wasting around my life in ngee ann. just because i find the work now alittle harder, i crumble like a cookie. but i guess it's all the hard work now that makes us the people of today and the better person tommorrow. it's a hard struggle, even till today, i still feel numb from the lectures which make absolutely no sense (ETE espeacially).

sometimes i miss my class of 4C 2006 so much i tear. but somehow i forgot how to cry. whenever i see my ex-classmates from JC, i'd throw a hug around them (maybe the girls aren't too comfortable with that gesture).8th of june is coming closer guys, i'd throw a extra big hug for everyone then.


this is a little tale as told by a little robin, the bird that never cleans it's poo, after doing it on someone's head

chapter 7 page 134: a rat's tale

mmmmm.... just had dinner not long ago. welcome, this is derek speaking. it's a warm evening on a sunday, and still have my FAT assignment waiting for me in my "documents" folder.

honestly, i don't think i'll ever see daylight again if the work keeps amounting like this. i really feel bad leaving my work to the 11th hour and still shagging around.

again over dinner, dad keeps asking me the stuff he already knows(very irritating). and again, if he keeps doing this to my family, he's going to shorten my life by another 10 years.


a few hours ago, i went downstairs to check on rat (my chinchilla), see if he's OK with the heat and everything. apparently, rat has become much more affectionate to me recently. my sister brought him home last christmas in the dead of the night. and after 6 months, he's finally getting used to me. but just last week he tried sinking his teeth in my finger because he was very hungry (grimace in pain).

but all in all, we're still on a long road to becoming better friends. but for now, my current friend is the tiger balm.... sian, i'm aching all over from last night's coolie work.

this just sucks. i'll update tommorrow, bye for now.
P.S i wonder if my crush will ever read my blog

chapter 7

sunday afternoon in a blistering hot room... the weather now is dreadfully scorching.

hi everyone, i'm not in camp anymore. the thing is, last night, i had enough and decided to leave the camp. last night's camp fire was spectacular and exhausting to prepare and clear up. i look like a coolie doing coal work after the camp fire.

today however, i have to rush through my work again. it's all due next week. the worst part is, i'm worn out from the camp, and tommorrow is going to end at 5.... today will be an equally long day of studying -_-

i'll see if i can post some of the camp pics, right now, i don't have the pics with me, but that's it for now, i'm off to study. see ya.
