hi blog
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.

happythankyoumoreplease?
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
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)
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 tripReach 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...

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)...

Triple Misses
hi blog
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
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!
