Revelation of you

2011-08-27T04:56:00.002+08:00

hi blog

I'm starting to let cynical logic take over me. I perceive people and their words differently, not the same as before.

This is bad. Its turning me into a cold and calculative being.

This is good though. I see right through now... right through.

hi blog

Spent the whole day out with my good friend on monday. When to beach road to buy army related stuff. I thought $20 was enough, ended up the uncle pushed us so much goods that I spent all my $50 on it lol.

We're suppose to meet up with more people for a "enlistment + birthday" dinner for my friend, but oh well, they have more important things to do. Ended up with a dinner for 2, agony. But we enjoyed the dinner, talked a lot. I was expecting us to run out of things to say and leave in an hour or so, but ended up to be a long dinner. I guess we're just spending as much time as possible before he enlist. My turn's coming soon! :(

On another topic.

I've been sleeping very late recently (its 5am right now). I've totally lost the drive to do anything meaningful. Stopped running, stopped exercising frequently, stopped helping out in certain matters, and stopping to do anything good for people. I'm tired of my efforts being throw and spitted down into the drain. I genuinely and sincerely try to do my best in organising things. I try hard to make things work but theres always a kink here or there. Sometimes, a part of me tells me that its a waste of time, but I try again and again. Now I'm just tired, gave up.

Screw it

Most of my friends enlisted last week. Even more reasons to train harder and pass Napfa. Procrastination is a bitch -_-.

Its surprising how someone you know changes their view/opinion/behaviors so quickly. It is as if you've not known that person before. Hmm, are they the ones changing? Or am I the one not changing?

Cynicism

2011-06-03T00:17:00.002+08:00

hi blog

I am jobless thus I have a lot of free time.
I read on things during my free time.
I read about things that enlighten me once in a while.

Yes. As the title suggests, I've read up a little on cynicism. Gonna live the life with less desires and expectations. Don't expect people to like you or do anything for you. No one cares about you. If everyone in the world were to hold hands, they would form a gigantic asshole that would drag your soul into it.

Be a cynic today. Live a happy life with no disappointments. The world doesn't revolves around you or anyone. Lets put our egos aside and chill out like a bro.

Politics versus Policy Making

2011-05-04T23:02:00.003+08:00

hi blog

The Singapore General Elections will be held on 7 May 2011. I am 1 year short to be entitled to a polling slip. Even though I am not able to vote in this coming election, I have been following up on political news.

I read this "note" on Facebook by someone named Daryl Yong (http://www.facebook.com/notes/daryl-yong/my-thoughts-on-ge2011/10150276681229152). He explained things clearly and provided a very good analysis on certain policies which the Opposition parties support/plan to propose. Very pragmatic views. He definitely wrote it clearheaded-ly instead of having irrational feelings involved.

Worth a read to REALLY KNOW MORE about the real situation.
Heres a quote:
(Quote)
"To the opposition and those who support the opposition, I have a short message for you here, before I move on to discussing why I might vote for you. Please do not try to cheat reality. You cannot lower the cost of living by making it more expensive to do business. (Foreign workers) If a worker is worth $4 an hour, you cannot make him worth $5: he will not be hired if he can only be hired at $5. (Minimum wage) You cannot want public transport to improve, and at the same time make it less profitable for people to improve public transport. You cannot claim to respect private property but at the same time take property away from successful Singaporeans for the sole reason of making other people happy. No matter how sincere you are, how well intentioned you are, please do not try to cheat reality because you cannot."
(Unquote)

I feel voters should think and rationalise before voting. However, most people do not know the difference between Politics and Policy Making. I am more interested in Policies than Politics really. I dont care who is in power as long as he does a good job.

Politics is about POWER. It is about how to enter the parliment, how to be a king, how to consolidate POWER over people. Usually it includes being super nice to people, introduce policies which APPEARS to help the voters (eg. Minimum wage laws, welfare packages)so that the candidate can be popular and receive the most amount of votes thus fufilling their main objective. Basically it is equivalent to 2 children crying and whining to gain the favour of the parent. Drama-mama.

Policy Making is about (duuhhh) making policies! A good policy maker will NOT care about what the people feel about the policy as long as it do GOOD to the country's progress. Simplicity is important in a good policy as maintaining it will be costly if it is too complicated (eg. 101 exceptions to certain taxation laws). I feel that the best type of governance is the less governance the better. Less red tape = less government spending = less reasons for taxation = less stress on people and ya da ya da, which eventually will lead to eternal happiness (lul). I want a government that doesn't intrude into my life all the time with stressful taxes, discriminating laws and policies.

I'm really torn between WP & PAP in Aljunied. But I think WP might win Aljunied over and if that happens, George Yeo would be out of a job! Why can't PAP consolidate all the bad MPs in one GRC and let the opposition and the voters send them off in one grand farewell?!!! This GRC system is very bad... Ok, we shall see what happens on May 7th. Its gonna be an epic day in Singapore's political history...

ps. I'm too lazy to continue so I shall stop soon.

Lately, I've rekindled my interest in Classical music. Been listening to some piano and orchestra symphony pieces. Played a few guitar-translated versions and it was very fun :).

I'm enlisting on 8 Sept 2011. I should really pass my napfa.

I think its time to do something for myself instead of worrying about others' lives. Gonna focus and be motivated in what I do. Time for isolation. No more time wasting.

hi blog

Its been long since I watched a drama movie. So I decided to try out a movie written & directed by Josh Radnor (aka Ted from How I Met Your Mother). I usually do not like drama movies because of their cheesy dialogues and unrealistic plot events. However, "happythankyoumoreplease" was surprisingly good!

The dialogues were "mildy" cheesy but still carried an adorable bit of humour. I personally loved the scenes of the show, mostly small areas like an office or a cafe or an apartment, very "true" to the "New Yorker's" lifestyle. The acting was realistic, no over the top drama queeny crap. And I still can't believe Malin Akerman shaved off her eyebrows just for the show! I mean, shes a (super, considered super) model! Yeah, and one of the actress have very beautiful blue eyes (heh, i'm a sucker for eyes :P).

Ok time to sleep (3AM now. Good morning)!

Phone entry

2011-04-08T23:45:00.005+08:00

hello blog

Typing this post down using my phone. Badass Android phone, on ebuddy, music playing "Only Love" by Trademark and... on Facebook. Epic multitasker. Dont have to spend a bomb on an iPhone and still get quality user experience!

Anyway, Im still alive... or just breathing. Been lazying around the house ever since the end of my secondary school friends chalet. 2 weeks already? Damn time is passing so fast and quietly, you'll think time is like a ninja.

Watched a bunch of movies at home. Inception, The Mechanic, and Letters from Iwo Jima. I loved Letters from Iwo Jima. I cant stop getting teary eyes when I watch war movies. The emotions of the soldiers, the helplessness of the soldiers, wondering if they will ever have the chance to see their family members again... is too much for me to bear. I respect every soldier who had fought honourably for their country, be it if they were of the Axis or the Allied forces during World War 2.

Hah, why the hell am I talking about this. Not many people from my generation gives a shit about history and war. Our ancestors sacrificed themselves so that we dont have to. Sometimes I think I should go and experience some real life shit...

Haha wtf. Phone entry ended up being a long chunk of meaningless shit.

Genting Trip: Day 1 (Part 1)

2011-03-13T02:28:00.010+08:00

hi blog

Like I said, Genting trip with WSS mates was fun. Gonna post up some photos now.

Day 1 (3rd March):

Woke up at 4am, messaged everybody and packed my bags. Did some final checks, slugged on my camera bag and pulled my luggage down to the car. Dad drove and mum tagged along. Went over to get J, then headed off to the rendezvous point.

We were early with HJ and his girlfriend already there. W, YK, JY, N and A reached (in that order, if i'm not wrong). Sat around at the kopitiam while waiting for the coach (which was... waiting for us lol).

The driver came over and bring us to the coach. He was skin-head bald, wearing a clean blue shirt with black long pants and a glove. For the moment I thought he was some Asian "Transporter" or something lol. Ok, got up onto the coach and we were all stunned for a while. The coach was badass and full of awesome comfort. Big chair, tv screen and lots of leg room. Everybody took their seats, I sat between W & Jess on the back row. And off we go on the way to Genting!

Group shot. Oh please forgive me for this haha.

W & J

W & WK

Road trip

Reach Yong Peng at around 12 noon. Toilet break, walked around for 20 over minutes and then continued on the coach trip. The coach's suspension was so good that I didn't even feel giddy while the coach took long and sharp winding bends up Genting. We got to the Bus terminal at around 2pm.

HJ checking in like a superstar

YK & N

Why are we waiting...

Yeap, first thing we do is this...

So we've reached First World Hotel. Nothing very First World about it if you ask me. But anyway, we settled down and dumped our luggage in the room. Some of us were getting hungry so we all went out in search of glorious food... which was pretty hard, everything is either closed (at 3pm wtf?) or found in Singapore! After some dilly-dally-ing, we finally decided on having Malaysia's very own: MaryBrown. Okay, wasn't as glorious (delicious) as I've expected... (Ugh ok in fact, it was not). Went back to the hotel and slacked for an hour before getting our lazy asses up to go to the mushroom farm. Went to the reception desk and ask about the farm. Got a number from them, called and a mini-bus appeared magically like a gift from the fairy-god mother. Hopped on and headed to the mushroom farm... Okay. Its 3am. I'm tired... Yawn. I'll continue tomorrow... or maybe other day (procrastinate)...

Back from 3D2N of Genting. Awesome trip. Good climate, great fun, great company :). Anyway I'll blog about that in the next few post. Not really in the mood or have the time to do it.

Had a few intelligent conversations with a few friends over MSN just now, feels refreshed. Hardly have such conversation anymore.

They say that if you missed something once it is ok.
Twice? It might be just bad luck.
Thrice? You suck.

So apparently I missed 3 epic face-melting performances on February.

1. Eric Clapton
2. Iron Maiden
3. Eagles

Totally regretted not going to Eagles' Concert. Feels like slapping myself for missing it. Ok I'm making a promise here, if Eagles would come back again... I'll definitely go this time!!!

End of IAP

2011-03-01T01:33:00.001+08:00

hi blog

Hurray for the end of IAP!

IAP was hell of a good experience for me. Working in a tech startup, all foreigners and IN NUS is totally awesome. Bet no one else had the same experiences as me (muwahaha).

The first few days in office was kind of a culture shock for me (considering I'm used to having singaporeans around me). I was not used to interacting with them (mandarin mostly), but I got used to it after a while. In the end, we begin learning more about each other's culture (or whats left of it, lol) and history.

I admit I was a little bit xenophobic at the start but hey, who isn't!? When I tell my friends that I worked in a company with me as the only citizen, their reaction was expectable haha. But really, its not as bad as it seems. In fact it was a very refreshing experience. Working in a startup, where theres not really a defined corporate structure. Carefree and relaxed because everyone is a friend!

And the more awesome part is, I work in NUS! Central hub of all the smarties in Singapore! Hope this won't be my last time visiting NUS... Hais (uni-application...) Haha. And yes, this is my first official job. I've clocked zero seconds in any jobs, nuttah. Had a farewell pizza dinner during my last day and I gave out chocolates to everybody :D!

hi blog

D minus 8. G minus 16.

Nothing much to do now during work. Testings are done, saikangs are done... New interns are here. Another language barrier. Not because of mandarin this time, but english. They do not speak mandarin because they're not Chinese :/. I'm not really good at listening, and not used to explaining things in english now... cos I was explaining and talking to people in mandarin for the past few months. Hope they understand what to do before I leave.

Oh and CNY came and go. 2 Days of CNY is more than enough for a family this small. Haha.

Applying for NUS and NTU. Computer Engineering as my first choice, best of luck. Prefer NUS really, but I'm desperate for any university though. Now starts the agonising wait...

Taking it easy everyday, trying not to think too much about things. Like a robot or something :/. Living by my principles daily as a "working" class is easy man. Just mind my own business and walk.

Anyway, 10 more days till the end of internship. 16 more days till Genting trip with my good friends :).

hi blog

Busy since the start of IAP. Traveling for 2 hours everyday to and fro from work is taking a toll on my health. Feels like a robot every morning. In fact, after working 12 days straight (OT on sat & sun) I'm having time lapse. I lost my sense of time/days for a while. Wake up thinking its still Friday when its Sunday. Ugh.

Undeniable Fact: Foreigners (take a guess) are going to take over the workforce soon.

Supporting Fact for the "Undeniable Fact": I board the bus with Chinese Nationals back to Harbourfront. Bus stops at PSA and loaded a bunch of Indian Nationals. Shared the MRT with a mixture of Chinese & indian nationals. I was sitting down, I closed my eyes and rested for a few MRT stops. I opened my eyes and I saw the whole carriage was filled with foreigners. I was the ONLY Singaporean... I'm scared... :'(

I'm going to enlist next year. So I thought... Who am I defending? :(

So yes, Christmas. I don't really like going out on Christmas, but I did anyway :/. I prefer throwing my body onto a bed, lie down and recollect my memories of the year that would be ending very soon. We're growing to be too busy to do such things anymore.

Work makes me feel old. A slave for money.

hi blog

First day of attachment was nothing good. Although I only spent my time there from 9.30am to 12.30pm, I'm already demoralised. Like a little sheep, disorientation and lost in the sea of translation. I can't understand most of what they say.

Yes, they all speak Mandarin (I speak Manglish: Mandarin+English). Sat in a meeting and I couldn't catch anything. Computer language + Mandarin = A very Confused Wei Kang. Nonetheless, I hope I can cope with all this xenophobia going on inside me. I worry about if I can reply to what they say properly. I tend to say stupid things sometimes when I'm not familiar with the person.

I don't think I can communicate well with them... Don't know whats gonna happen tomorrow during lunchtime :/.

Anyway, the highlight for today was not work but my CMPB checkup with my FRIENDS. DUDE IT WAS SUCH A RELIEF TO SEE MY FRIENDS. Finally the sheep was back with the herd. So elated to see them, really. Wow, I can't believe I miss my friends so quickly... :(. Working sucks.

Ok anyway, back to CMPB. Tests went well, PES A I hope. Very surprised at the Blood testing phase. The medic was talking to me a lot, joked (but not easy jokes, quite scary).

Medic - "Hey you know i dont like meridian JC people"
Me - "Okay..."
Medic - "Where you from? Meridian JC?" (holding up needle)
Me - "Nooo... thats not a very good question"
Medic - "Ya good, MJ people are ******"
Me - "Okay, thats not very encouraging... I'm from NYP."

LOL. Then I was staring at the needle while it went into my skin. It was quite a sharp pain, but painful enough to make me jump. But I flinched because it was quite disgusting, so very weird. I was making an "Ughhhh" sound when the blood came out. Medic asked "Got so pain meh", and I replied "No la, damn weird sia... like weird...".

Then JAP BUFFET @ 313. Omg the Shabu Shabu was GREAT. Dude. Great good, great place, great FRIENDS = AWESOME! We feasted, joked, laughed a hell lot. Friends are really important man...

3 Hours of work made me miss my friends so much. So much. I miss everyone now. Guess I shall stop here, if not I'll start to sound like a little girl.

This is probably the last time we would converge in school.

These two and a half years had been a blast for me. Its filled with hits and misses.

Some small & short parts were the highlights of my life in school. Great times, happenings and friends. As I go through all these wonderful memories in my mind, I can't stop but think about how I met all these wonderful people. Surprising gems, I must say...

However, some memories were filled with regrets and agony. Regrets of not going out and talking to people, making more friends (after much thought, i think i'm better off this way haha). Agony, rather not talk about it.

I'll miss so much about the time I've spent (with my friends) in NYP. I leave with precious memories :). So here I conclude the chapters of my life in NYP. Off to internship and early adulthood. Time will not wait for anybody. Wish me luck on Monday.

Karma

I've always tried my best to help anybody who come to me for help. If I know I can't help them, I'll redirect them to someone else with more expertise or give them a few ideas. I know not everyone of these people that I've help will reciprocate with the same amount of charity. A lot of them have let me down, used me and cheated my efforts. When some of my friends get to know of it, they will ask me "Why bother helping them when you're not sure if they will help you in return?".

But why don't we help people? Why do we fear that our efforts might not be properly appreciated? Are we really that calculative?

Yes, good & bad people. Some will say things like: "Don't be too helpful to people, later get used ah". This statement seems to be very true in modern life(work/school). Why bother helping people that might not return a favour? Thus we are reject anybody who approach us for help. The results? A cold & heartless society.

But remember the good will always outlast the bad.

Zero point freaking four.

A pretty shocking revelation (Zero point freaking four) was revealed to me a few days ago. I roughly know why I'm not in "it" anymore. Zero point freaking four. Although I thought (and still think) that (Zero point freaking four) its totally B.S, I've got to accept my fate, Zero point freaking four. (Okay, let the man grief for a while)

I built a sandcastle on a hypothetical plot of a beach. Just as I'm about to complete my super awesome sandcastle, a big wind come blowing by which in turn brought massive waves to the shores. Destroying my (super awesome and potentially destiny-changing) sandcastle in the process. I don't know where that bigass wind comes from, but it sure did bring waves which destroyed my (potentially destiny-changing) sandcastle.

So what do you do if your (destiny-changing) sandcastles are destroyed? You build them again... (which is not fun at all)

I know I'm not (appearing to) making sense here. Maybe I'm not using good metaphors (sandcastles), but people who knows what I'm feeling and what I've been through will know what I'm trying to relate to (really?).

But still, I think that bigass wind is total B.S. Just like the results. Zero point freaking four.

Screw it, stop grieving dude....... no.

Received a call from my teacher while on the bus to school this morning. Bad news, didn't get into the finals. Disappointed. Instant decimation of my high spirits.

L- "Disappointed ma? Hai ok ba?"
WK- "Hah. Dang ran you yi dian disappointed la... wo hai hao.." "Ok, I'll tell them about it..."

Instantly, I became the herald of good&bad news to certain people. Some concerned individuals started to sms me about my & their results. Said what I needed to say to some, explained what I had to explain.

Honestly, I'm pretty shocked at the outcome. I spent a good amount of time recalling about what I've done... I don't know where did I went wrong! I hope I'll get an explanation even though the outcome will not change (at least it will give me a peace of mind).

On the bright side, I'm relinquished of all wss trainings and back to "normal" life. At first I thought: "hey, more free time, song boh." But my dreams of having more free time were smashed when I realised that FYP was coming my way -_-". Tasked to do something that I've no idea what its about, guess its FYP afterall.

I'm still pretty lost right now (partly due to the fact that I've been laid off, Lulz). I need a plan.

hi blog

Spent my Sunday watching "Legend of the Fist: Return of Chen Zhen" on the computer. Many of my friends criticised the show for the lack of fight/action scenes. However I think its few japanese-face smashing scenes were just enough.

Donnie Yen doubled as a Gentleman/Rake who spends his time in a hellfire club and as a masked face-smasher at night. I like how he emulated the trademark Bruce Lee squeals at the final dojo fight scene, where he defeat a bunch of japanese martial art students. If you have the same hidden dislike for Japanese's involvement in WW2 as me, you might love this show a lot (hehe).

Legend of the Fist is a good movie to watch but it recycled too much of the WW2 Japanese war crimes theme (oh wait, can't blame the directors... blame it on Jap's bad reputation during ww2 heh).

Bro wanted to buy an electronic drumset, so I looked up the forums for a deal. Almost bought an electronic drumset a few days back, but didnt because of some hesitation. Aww. That got me into wanting to get a drumset too... It'll be fun to have a guitar and a drumset at home!

Ok. so now I want a bass guitar & a drumset. I think I should open a HDB studio...

yay i'm faster on the electric now weee~

Need more happy paper

2010-08-29T03:26:00.002+08:00

hi blog

Was Facebooking and hopped from random profile to random profile. Saw this guy's facebook page who appears to be a guitarist. Viewed his photo albums on his guitars... Holy shit good stuff. MIA Yngwie Malmsteem Fender Strat, Jackson blah blah. I thought: "Woah, this guy must have some mad-skills man!". Click on one of his videos, utterly disappointed.

Using a Yngiw Malmsteem Fender to play some Indie music. Wth. I was expecting at least a song with a more decent riff. Ah well, some people can have inadequate skills but buy expensive guitars to compensate. Ugh, envious :<. Looking at starters/noob players practising on expensive guitars makes me wanna cry :'(. I need to upgrade man...

Bro's talking about getting a drumset. Acoustic drumset would sound/feel better, but then we'll need to soundproof the room. Electronic drumset allows silent practice, but the price is STEEP man. I want a big bag of cash right now...

Pulp Fiction!

2010-08-26T00:28:00.002+08:00

hi blog

Pulp Fiction (a 1994 Crime Film) starred John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson and (not forgetting) Bruce Willis. All those actors were around their 30s (dude, I was only er, 3 or 4?). Pulp Fiction was the few films that really rocketed those actors to fame.

Ok, I feel that Pulp Fiction's script is superbly written. Every conversation (even the little chit-chat) between the characters reveal a little about the character's personality bit by bit. The character development was very good as the viewer will start to develop an understanding towards the character.

Quentin Tarantino likes to chop up his films into chapters and then display them in a random fashion. I felt confused at the start, but then slowly it pieced up together eventually. I love the mix of violence and wit humour. I've not seen a recent hollywood film that possess both adequate action and wit. All I see all the time is just some WTF-BOOM explosion and some actor star would be slow-mo-ing his way out of the blast. Beh.

Overall 4.5/5. Heard Pulp Fiction is a classic, and yeah it really deserves to be one.

Stopped blogging for a while to return to my favourite hobby... Watching movies :D. Nah not really, had a bit gaming & exercising here and there.

Watched Pulp Fiction, The Bourne Trilogy (Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum). Took me about a week for me to find time to watch them all. Gonna blog about what I feel about those movies. Reviews in other post.

I've been watching HBO's TV 7 parts miniseries: Generation Kill. Currently at the 3rd episode.

First Lieutenant Nathaniel Fick: Most people in American right now would think Iraq is a dangerous country. Now, if I were to stand up, I might get killed but to us behind these wheels, its pretty safe. So to us, Iraq is a safe country, right here we feel pretty safe. Do you feel safe?

Embedded Reporter Evan Wright: Hmmm uhh pretty safe I guess.

World Cup ended with Spain as the champions. Ugh.

WC wrecked my health with a slight flu first, then a recurring fever and then now with a very bad cough. *Weees* Managed to finish my CS presentation last Friday.

Sian Cup 2010

2010-06-21T00:49:00.002+08:00

hi blog

Had a sleepover at my friend's hse on Saturday night. Watched the world cup with a whole bunch of us. Netherlands VS Japan, and 2 more matches which I can't remember. I'm sure I was half-asleep most of the time. This is one of the most boring world cup -_-.

What I hate the most about this year's WC is those damn horns. Vuvezula or whatever they call it. Piece of plastic crap which they call a musical instrument. Everyone was blowing that damn piece of shit all the time making the stadium sound like a hornet nest. That constant humming is really... depressing.

Played iSketch with everyone till 3am. Blacked out on the floor until 5am. Oily fried noodles for breakfast and then bus home.

I'm still freaking tired -_-. bai.

Oooooh yes, and my bro just bought a dslr. Expect pictures of my parrot :D.

Going for gold

2010-06-16T01:51:00.004+08:00

hi blog

I went for a run today. Sadly, I didn't bring along a watch to record my time but I feel I'm "fast" enough.

It takes discipline to train for stamina, in this case, 2.4Km. You got to consider the time of lunch, the amount of food & water you take before the run. You still have to dispel the self-discouragement (lazyness) while planning to run!

I don't get why most people say pull-ups' the most difficult to train for. All you got to do is keep "trying"! *WOH, Neighbour's knocking again... chua sai*. Anyway, its either you are too heavy (fat) or you are too weak. I was bad at pull-ups (ZERO... 0!) before I enter poly. Took some initiative, exercise, toughen up and ta-da manage to "pass" after just 5 months. Now, I can reach 10 or more.

Bronze-d for NAPFA. Could have gotten a Silver if I ran a little faster. Could have gotten a Gold if I ran faster & jumped further. So close but yet so far. Gonna make sure I get at least a Silver or a Gold on the next test :D.

Not physically blessed, thats why I'm working hard to achieve my target (and for the bragging rights :P).

ps (self-motivation): I can sense that they did not expect me to be able to do a single pull. But I did 10. EAT THAT!

Time to sleep, Wss tomorrow.

The Silence of the Lambs

2010-06-06T21:18:00.002+08:00

hi blog

Just finished another "Hannibal" film called "The Silence of the Lambs". Woo. The film had me holding my breath half the time. I like the way Anthony Hopkin (as Hannibal Lecter) stared into Clarice as he "breaks" her mentally with his constant probing of her past.

So far I've watched: Manhunter, Red Dragon, and The Silence of the Lambs. Leaving, Hannibal and Hannibal Rising before I complete the series.

"I wish God didn't create me with such competitive behavior. It sucks big time. And its hard to keep my mouth shut and be "humble". I wish I can be blur... emo shitzxzxz"

- An edited quote of a Facebook status update by a friend. Edited to allow anonymity. However, I assure you that the meaning is the same.

Dude! If you think you are talking way too much or you are a big bragger, don't blame it on "something". You are the fault, no one else is! Its like saying "I behave like a dickhead because God made me one. I can dick around all I want!".

I seriously hope those people that believe that they are created by a "higher" being doesn't thinks like this. Because by having such beliefs, he/she will think its perfectly alright to shift the blames of his/her personality flaws to their "creator".

Thinking that one have absolutely no control over his/her fate is an excuse to be lazy and irresponsible.

Watched ManHunter, a 1986 crime thriller film. Its the 1st part of the "Hannibal Lecter" series. About a serial killer who kills families and William Graham's, a top criminal profiler, investigation. Thrilling... duh. Suspenseful and a nice plot. 7/10. Looking forward to watch its "remake" called "Red Dragon" soon :).

Road trippin' with my two favorite allies

So much has come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads
And let us check the surf
Staying high and dry's
More trouble than it's worth
In the sun

Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun

These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for

In Big Sur we take some time to linger on
We three hunky dories got our snakefinger on
Now let us drink the stars

I've always like conversations, deep kinds where you talk about serious "personal" issues and those shallow kinds where just you talk crap & rubbish.

What I dislike the most are those conversations where you sit on the line between a deep & a shallow conversation. For a moment you dip into this "mellow" mood and all of a sudden you find yourself talking rubbish. Anti-climax, if you ask me.

Am I right to feel this way? I think I'm a lil happy bunny.

Walked pass this records shop and saw an old black man playing his Strat inside. He looked damn cool playing what sounds to be like Blues in his own shop. Wah, when I grow old I wanna be just like him :D.

Saw so many beautiful guitars: Telecasters, Les Pauls, SGs, Gretsch and Jaguars to name a few. Gretsch guitars look so good that they can be used as decorations instead of musical instruments. And a whole bunch of pedals... My only target was Flanger but it cost $120. =_="

hi blog

Woo I'm getting better that restringing my guitar. Looks great now.

Went for my friends' dance performance yesterday at Lucky Plaza... Dumb place to perform. I thought I was sucked into the Philippines. Crappy place, crappy setlist = crappy performance. Stage was too small.

One thing that opened my eyes was this particular (only) rock band.

Formed by 4 middle aged uncles. They looked very normal, no rockstar punkass attitude. They played mainly 70s-80s rock, like Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Awesome energy (considering their age) and vocals. A pity was that... their setlist kinda suck. Which song by Black Sabbath should anybody play in a cover gig? Iron Man lah! Sian, they played Warpigs instead... Sad.

Glad to see those uncles enjoy themselves, however it was a pity that the audience was made up of teenagers who most likely wouldn't know what the hell they're singing. Guess those uncles were there to make up for those days when they were young and ready to rock... but reality pulls them back. Hah, I think I might be there when I'm at their age too... hahhhh.

Bumped into Bryan at Compass today. Almost didn't recognise him (again). Changed from that thick, long, and wild hair into more "straight" hair. Caught up a little just by standing around and chatting. Seems like FYP in SP sucks. Hope to meet up soon for some crazy shit.

Oscars Best Picture Awards: The Hurt Locker!

Eat that Avatar! Blue-elf monkeys jumping around a big-ass tree.

Sorry, I don't like movies targeted for a "Disney" crowd. To me, Avatar is just filled with CG and explosions. The story is pretty weak if you ask me. Only thing that I actually liked was the CG and its "interesting" concept of Humans cohabiting with aliens.

I feel that The Hurt Locker really deserved to win the award! Face-melting awesomeness. Show was so tense all the time. Loved the part where the EOD suit guy says "Well if I'm gonna die, I might as well die comfortably." while taking off his Bomb protection suit. Badass dude. (Y).

Argh, its smoky in here. Wtf man, whats the SCDF doing?

Cycled today to Punggol for street soccer with friends. I had to cycle through Tampines Road up north to Punggol. That road was so smoky! At first I thought it was the damn bus/lorry/construction vehicles passing me, but when I look to the side of the road (where all the forest/bush are)... There was smoke rising from there!

Bloody hot weather must have caused a bush fire. Yay, weather win.

I managed to get myself to Punggol in the end. On my way back... thick black smoke was still rising from the forest. Yay great job. I guess hmm... 2 to 4 hours of burning?

Songbo, I'm smoking right now. For free somemore! Steady.

Was spending a little time off studying by reading a biography of one of my favourite musician, John Frusciante, online. Read that he released a new solo album, after he left the Red Hot Chili Peppers, called "The Empyrean". Went to check it out, listened to it and found out that its one of the best music I've ever listened to. Instant Awesome-ness.

I tried to find his official website but all I got was this: Link. What the hell -_-. I guess he really loves simplicity and his own privacy. I'm inspired to play and practice more, AFTER EXAMS!

Here's the album art of the "The Empyrean":

CNY was still alright, the same old things, relatives.. yeah. Feels that its getting a little boring though. Hell boring, sat there with my bro just watching tele for 2-3 hours. Small family results in small amount of cousins. Unfortunately, I can't communicate with most of the cousins... Ok only 2.

By listening in to their conversation (i'm not eavesdropping!), I can assume that we've a lack of common interests. Any attempts on breaking the ice would most probably result in an awkward failure. Best thing to do: wait for relatives to ask you the same old questions. Like, "Where are you studying now?"... Once in a while I'll get more interesting questions but that will stay with me... heh heh.

Somehow my uncle, that I rarely get to meet, found out that I play the guitars (woah sia la...). Stunned when he first said that to me. Hah, must be dad talking about it... But anyway its harmless so its okay.

That's CNY for me...

hi blog

Had a terrific school day: one filled with self-perceived success. But good things always have to come to an end. Like how you'll always finish your day full of fun with friends and return to your sad & boring home.

I don't know how to start this, but I'll try...

Its so obvious. You might say that I'm being over sensitive but the signs are so clear. There's no doubt now. Injustice is in the house. I returned to a locked door and waited for almost 10 minutes. I felt like a second class family member. And no, its not because of having to bathe in a laundry room. No. There is this feeling that's itching me. I'm making hundreds of comparisons in my head now. The conclusion is: I'm not being treated fairly.

Went for a walk with Haozhi and Desmond at Serangoon in the blistering hot afternoon. Saw so many pleasant things there, but the weather had to destroy it all. Grr.

It must be the sun, nnbccbknnpbk.

Feeling sick.
Feeling tired.
Feeling irritated.
Feeling fucking pain.

Fuck the wisdom tooth. _l_

URGH.

"I love cartoons. Because they're black & white when it comes to Good & Evil. In real life, Mojo-jojo treats people well too." - Quote from a friend.

我要我要我要跳进水里面
哪里有个永恒青春的小孩

我要我要我找要跳进水里面
寻找遗失已久纯真的年代

我要我要我要跳进水里面
躲在里面我要很久不出来

我要我要我找要跳进水里面
寻找遗失已久纯真的年代

純真年代！
像个小孩!

hi blog

Just came back from a dental appointment. Finally got my last bracket in on one of the tooth. So now I'm supposed to wait and see if I'll "bite" onto the bracket. No pain now, not yet.

Should I use the headphones or should I just play with closed door? Urgh, lazy.

Scarface quotes

2010-01-08T23:36:00.006+08:00

hi blog

"Me, I just want everything that's coming to me"
"Oh, whats coming to you Tony?"
"The world Chico, and everything in it..."
"Oh my..." - Conversation between Tony & his friends when they're 'fresh'.

"Look Frank. The time has come. We're gotta expand. The whole operation, distribution. New York. Chicago. LA. We're going to set our own mark and we'll force it. We'll think big now."
"...Think big." - Tony to Frank about "Business".

"Hey Tony, remember what I told you when we started? The guys who lasted in this business are those that fly straight, low key, quiet. And the guys who want it all... flushed, they don't last."
"You finished? Can I go now?" - Frank to Tony about working the way to the top.

"You need people like me... You need like me so you can point your ***king fingers and say 'That's the bad guy!' So? What I make you? Good? You're not good, you just know how to hide & lie. Me? I don't have that part. Me! I always tell the truth even when I lie. So say goodnight to the bad guy! Come on!" - Tony walking off in a drunken stupor.

Scarface is such a badass movie!

Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked...

I've been playing BORDERLANDS the whole of yesterday. Interesting art-style and graphics. Funny occasions & conversations. Good fighting mechanics. OH YEAH and I LUUVES the theme song of Borderlands! (Y)

Anyway...

Goon's initial plan to visit my house this morning was to play & learn the guitar. However, we ended up playing Borderlands on LAN. DAMN FUN! Woo!

School's starting tomorrow. FUDGE! I hope this coming thursday & friday would be e-learning days! Stay at home, "e-learn", play the guitar, play Borderlands, slack, and grow fat. I'll love that kinda life.

...Until we close our eyes for good.

hi blog

Merry Christmas once again.

On the First day of Christmas my mummy gave to me, a packet of chai png~ (LOL rubbish :P)

Rot at home for Christmas. Watched Joyeux Noel on Oktonite, with my mum. Explained the scenes for her since her english wasn't that good.

Great French film about the 1914 World war 1 Christmas Truce. The Christmas Truce was the day where soldiers in their respective entrenchments came out and celebrated Christmas Day together regardless of their allegiance (Without their superior's permission! Ahahaha!). German/English/French soldiers came out of their Trenches and drink/play/pray together. Best part is, all the soldiers slowly fraternized and became friends even though they were shooting & killing each other the day before!

Heartwarming film, it showed me that regardless of our selfish agendas, we're still the same inside - Human.

Okay Bullshit aside.

Random Fact: - Silent Night have been my favourite Christmas song all my life. And it was also sung together by the German & English soldiers during the Christmas Truce! Imagine those soldiers who were fighting against each other the day before, singing and dancing together! Ahh heart warming :D.

Beautiful rendition of the Traditional Silent Night (Stille Nacht) song. :)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. :)
