the greatest thing...

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"


"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

utter randomness

in a mere 4 hours, my final 7 day field camp begins. tekong being the remote island that it is, will naturally be part of the 1% of singapore not covered by M1. so sadly, my phone will be displaying 'emergency use only' more often than 'SGP-M1-3GSM'. this happens when you've got more trees around you than antennae. so if i don't reply your messages these 7 days, well, it's the trees' fault. but rest assured you'll get your replies at night, when i return to the concrete confines of camp, where there's more antennae than trees.

sorry dawn, you had a great party but i just wasn't in a good mood cos i'm tired. yeah, if you read this i'm genuinely sorry, k? it was just really off today and even migrating to phuture didn't help out. having said that, cocco latte's music was really quite awesome, matches phuture's at times but...well something seemed missing though i can't put a finger on it.

crap, ok. well, sometimes people like to poke their noses into other people's business. we can't help it, it's in our nature to be nosey parkers. usually people will probe too far in and find themselves somewhere they don't belong and start to utter nonsense about things they don't really understand. though my personal policy was to stay out of other people's business, sometimes i can't help but revert to the norm. tsk. well, if it ain't broke, don't fixed it i say.

once again, i've posted a whole jumble of ideas which makes totally no sense when put together. but it's 4 in the morning, i haven't exactly slept really well the past few nights and ian by nature is an incoherent nutcase, so pls understand. mmm, i think i'll sign off now.

several golden globe awards
11 oscar nominations

after the show i was like huh?
maybe i'm not a movie buff or maybe i just didn't pay attention to the show. i really didn't understand several parts of it. i just get this feeling that the show's a nice round blueberry cake, but somehow, due to the parts i don't understand, i'm only biting bits of it. and thats not very complete.

but i really liked the music though. my perfect era, my perfect genre. wish i could be there. big band playing, lady crooning the blues, cigar in hand, tapping my feet to the music..

my perfect era, my perfect genre.

life is like dota. when you are a mediocre player, and you're saving up so much to buy that much coveted butterfly or burize, you think that it would change your game complete, that you would go on monster-killllll spees. Wrong. If your skill is lousy, buying a divine rapier would also be of zero use. you'll still lose. Similiarly, if your living a bad life, treating people badly and stuff, you might think buying that new zara jacket or that new burberry's scent would increase your popularity. (don't talk about cars here). Wrong. Character, like dota skill, takes time to build up and after a while, you'll find that you do not beed burize to dominate.

i'm bored.

ladies and gentlemen, introducing the latest addition to McDonald's: McTicket Triple. ba da ba ba baa~ i'm lovin' it!

cai loves his tongue. greg wearing his new polo!  

this is why i love kenneth cole. buy a nice wallet, get a nicer wallet box. i mean who gives out leather wallet boxes?! 

at the crossroads

hmm shaun u knw.. im not sure if i shd agree with what uve been saying or shd i violently object ahha. i think we've def had our fair share of dota this wk. for those of u who were somehow out of the loop its like we've been at it since thursday. since then till sat night we've been staring at the screen cursing and swearing, destroying lan shop equipment n yeah. but hey it still draws us back time n time again eh.

lets see, technically im still really short on slp. as u can see from the above plus not sleeping at all on weds cos of mambo. OMG. but its been fun la.. the gay brothers were tog all the way this hari raya break. tho there were times when shaun n jh werent there, cai, ian n greg still managed to roam ard finding interesting stuff to do n items to blow our money on. Hmm but ya have to admit with my increased spending power, buying good stuff for urself is extremely gratifying. i think ian, jh n co found out bout the feeling a long time back but hey we are all learning right!?

im gonna speak for myself n ian now.. think u wont see us for abt sayyy 2 wks? how u say? well let me tell u pls. Live firing this wk all the way till fri. sat is the start of field camp which will take us all the way to sometime next wk. HOLY SHIT! so encouraging sms's n calls wld be a reprieve for both of us. yup. 2 wks with trash does crazy things to ppl.

hmm for those of u who were online this afternoon u wld have realised MSN's screwed. not sure whats wrong with the server n all. jus finished transferring all my essentials to an external drive. gonna wipe my com right bout after this post. according to cai my com will feel like a new horse after im done dg all this. but im jus hoping my new horse wont be like mutated n have jus 2 legs cos of missing software. neigh.

im Battalion Orderly Sergeant (BOS) tom. so ian pls drop by the cook hse when u can alright. red sash, beret n all. bah. pls pls pls no heli evacuations. i refuse to run into the middle of the field n marshall in another helicopter who totally ignores me while the officers heh jus sit in the office n make phone calls. hai2 you3 wang3 fa3 ma1?

well here goes.. hopefully al of ya online after dinner or sth

its time to make a choice. i must.

love is a many splendoured thing, love lift's us up where we belong. all you need is love.

Good morning,
i'm sure everyone will be wondering how come lazy me is awake at this time of the morning when we dota-ed the whole of last night. truth is, i would love to be asleep on this beautiful saturday morning but unfortunately, DUTY CALLED. damn. in camp now... dota was fun yesterday. but it's still boring. when we play it's boring. when we don't play it calls to us. i think we need other things to amuse us. isaac got his first taste of storm bolting the monitor with his mouse. a few more outings with us he'll start to get petty and gay, turn up late, and be very, very broke. jen thank you for appreciating my posts.. haha.. it's really nice to know that someone else takes note of the emotional garbage i spew.

mmm. nothing else to post. just reiterating my existence. thank you.


"Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge, I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again.

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done

How could this happen to me?
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on, as I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me..."

it's been awhile..

zouk zouk zouk. crowded as ever. met a whole bunch of people there...esp MR LAU himself! eugene! haha it's been so long since i danced alongside him in phuture. waved to everyone i saw, trying to be as friendly as can be. but didn't think claire saw me wave though. mmm, well it's ok then. and we danced. puffed out by the end. too tired and stoned to really do anything. even supper was a stoning affair. for me at least. and i stoned all the way to the stone bench at changi beach. the breeze was amazing. and the breeze cooed me to sleep, on the cold hard bench by the bay. sigh, i miss walking at the beach at night. the peace, solitude, privacy and calm.

here's greg and i deep in thought. chilling out at on the sunny island of pulau tekong on a fine wednesday afternoon. simply beautiful. 

not fussy! i wish! i really like the this tee though. 

and a good morning to you too! looks like a scene straight out from vanilla sky eh? 

bummer

somehow my ord date draws near. and the paradoxical thing happens. i'm not entirely happy that i'm clearing leave after cny. i think its like i've been thinking about it too much, that the date itself has lost its touch!

i just pray things will be smooth. thats all. nothing else.

btw, that sat at idp fair.
greg was taking a dump at the toilet. cai and i being impatient people, went in to hurry him.

me : "greg, hurry up!"

greg : "relax la, stomachache brother"

*flushhhhhhhh* (from one of the cubicles)

5 mins later, and greg is still not out yet.

me (aloud so the entire toilet can hear) : "greg i thought you flushed already?! why are you taking so long!"

greg : "thats not me la!"

me and cai ran out of the toilet.

h. is for HeartBreak

She, may be the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred tearful things, within the measure of the day.

She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that can and hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I remember till the day I die



the day our lips first met was the very same day i made you cry

a blank fucking grey slate.

------------------------------tabula----------------------------------------------------------------------------------rasa-----------------------------------------------------the state of my mind now..



sitting in front of the com for most of the day on a rumbling stomach aint a good idea. maybe i shd have gone n watched tiger cup with the dudes. oh well at least the company was good.

currently questioning the wisdom of my decision to study in australia after making a few inquiries at the fair yesterday plus the information from a few friends. $$ matters mostly. i knw this is quite a duh thing but i guess i jus never looked at so closely before. A$20040 per annum for tuition fees alone.so in 4 yrs tt wld be like like 80++k, on top of tt there is lodging, textbooks, health cover,transportation, entertainment. makes me feel really immature n spoilt to recall my last conversation a few mths back where i asked for a car if i go over citing the reason tt it was cheap n all. wtf man greg. have to have a good talk with dad when he gets back. the thought of my folks scrimping n saving over here when im having a good time over there jus does not sit right.

all tt aside, i seem to be having more n more meaningful conversations with the dudes. ian at starbucks, jh outside katong shopping centre, cai in the car after dota. really interesting.. definitely treasured. imagaine how cool it wld be of all of us really went to mel to study. fuck there i go again. have to settle the above first.

On the other hand i really hope this hari raya break turns out the way its supposed to be. its jus 1 day out of the 3 days i want. jus 1.

god help me.



ltr y'all

hmm.

hmm. another bk out, another wk end, another head ache hmm.

-fri-it wasent supposed to be like tt. zouk sucked to the max after certain info came my way. i mean hello?? i thought u were my good fren. brothers even. cut me deep bro. everything else failed too. hmm.

-sat- woke up late, met cai n jh n ian at the IDP australian fair. inquired a lil here n there. looks likes it RMIT for now unless the email i will send to U syd comes back with some gd news. cai decided to pangseh us for a few hrs. ian dulan. so ian n greg went for a walk. had a gd conversation at liat starbucks, saw ppl n continued walking ard aimlessly. still talking. met nic n cody at tangs, liwen appeared ltr. ramen dinner at ajisan b4 the next link up for some fondue. dota beckoned. din have a gd run. kept dying.

maybe.. just maybe tomorrow cld be a better day.

oh yeah.. cai walked into a glass door tdy =) hilarious.

ain't no sunshine when she's gone

ladies and gentlemen, i'm finally out. left that hellhole and came back to this civilisation. someone said that the civilisation ain't much better. but hey, i beg to differ. the air is fresh, the sun shines bright and the sky's blue. just the makings of a great day of freedom. actually the air back there is fresher, the sun shines brighter and the sky looks bluer but that's not the point. supposed to be back now. but i'm stretching my limits. hopefully till tomorrow. *i wince and pray* don't call me don't call me.

gonna meet greg and cai to return greg's charger later and maybe...chill out. relax greg. you da man k? play it cool, and follow the flow. if it happens, it will. if not, just let it be. i know it's easier said than done but hey, some things can't be controlled yeah? mmm more useless advice from the commitmophobe. anyway thanks for the charger.

aye dudes, i've come to realise i'm a commitmophobe. if there's such a word. haha. looking at my track record, i think many would agree so. no? times are better when things are not so serious. starting to thinks what it gonna take to make me step in and stay there. currently, it's nothing. we'll see we'll see.

you know guys, life's easier if you don't put all your eggs in one basket, even when you only have one basket. hmmm, somehow i don't think everyone got that. but hey i like to leave things vague. life's simpler when things are vague.

so what does all this have to do with my title? actually, nothing. just a song in my head. and so, the incoherent commitmophobic nutcase has jabbled. adios amigos.

THIS IS HOW WE DO.

Living Just for Dying, Dying Just for You.

i know i stand in line...

hi...
where's everyone been? too busy to post? what's happening this weekend? i'm DO tmr.. won't be fun.
anyway i just completed all my lessons for driving at ssdc.. got to book my test date. 23 march. pretty far away but at least something has been settled.

there is a distinct difference between students and the working class. students, or students to be, seem to have alot more energy and motivation. also ambition. something that makes them glow when they go out. when they ride the train home. when they eat. sleep. when they speak. the energy and enthusiasm is there. The working class on the other hand seem to have lost that glow. they look perpetually bored as they watch the trees fly by on the mrt. they sigh at pre-planned intervals, making the annoying noise resound through the carriages. their eyes have lost its fire. they are so tired all the time. they keep looking at their watches.

i'd hate to be like them. but somehow it's inevitable. there's this invisible line that we will all just unknowingly cross. i want to be free, like the times where you have this sudden feeling of invincibility. you spread your arms out and embrace the wind, thinking to yourself that you could do anything, be anyone. you feel that life is actually a very simple thing to live.

maybe that's why they call it the real world.


"i know i stand in line until you think you have the time to spend an evening with me, and if we go someplace to dance I know that there's a chance you won't be leaving with me."
- here's to you, have a safe trip, goodbye.

(maybe someone storm bolted the mouse but i came late so....*whistle*) too bad isaac couldn't make it or i bet it'll be a blast. WELCOME TO THE EAST SIDE. haha whenever you're lonely and you have nowhere to go, just remember that The East Gang a.k.a [TEG] - fondly referred to by Migs as the brotherhood - will welcome you... dota every friday, monday, wednesday, sunday, saturday, thursday and tuesday.

the weekend came and went like air breathed in and breathed out. work work. h said she could meet at seven. but i think i like being treated nicely and not crammed into someone else's schedule. so patronizing. the guys are nice.

pandaren brewmaster is pro.

everyone have fun in the upcoming week.

dean martin

ain't that a kick in the head.

how lucky can one guy be?
i kissed her and she kissed me. (i wish)
like the fellow once said,
ain't that a kick in the head..

the room was completely black.
i hugged her and she hugged back. (i dream)
and the sailor went "woah"
ain't that a hole in the boattt..

my head keeps spin-ning,
i go to sleep i keep grin-ning
if this is just the be-ginning.
my life is gonna be beaaaautiful.

- no one sings this better than dean, no one -

mmmm.. isaac's party was swell, just that i missed practically everything.. sorry isaac...
range ended early, but not early enough, and by the time i made it down it was late late late. all i ate was fried wan tons. slept late, woke early. not the best combination but at least i'm home now...

supposed to go out with h today but i'm used to this bollywood ducking behind trees thing. i could almost say "i couldn't give a rat's ass". maybe "i don't give a shit". or "lick my pet raccoon's balls". or.. or.. or..

i woke up to this nice song. i like this song. dota will be good. and gabriel please come along?

"it's hard to walk this path alone, hard to know which way to go"

zzz..

er. yeh i know serene was my fault. sorry ian. anyways the next day : " warcraft at roxy ? " OK! then everything settle already.

anyways i'm in camp now. whats new? finishing up some work on a saturday morning after 2 straight whole days from lck returning to camp at 2am and waking up so early again. clear leave after cny. please come quickly.

i had a weird dream in lck yesterday. i was so freaking tired cos i didn't sleep at all the past night i just put my head on the table in the training shed and zz.. i saw j in the dream. lotsa people around. i don't know why but i kept trying to talk to her but she just walked away, and i left in tears. weird. suddenly found myself at home and saw this box of spoilt strawberries in the fridge and my dad smiling over them. i asked him:" why did you leave the strawberries there to rot? " he said : " because i refuse to clean them up. you should do it for me." i don't know why but i got so furious and fought with him. sign ? don't know.

woke up breathing heavily and feeling more tired than before i slept. dreams so poignant and violent i'll never forget.

stop being a bitch and like me already.

hello! i'm so tired... been having driving lessons non stop this past week..

how do you guys like the tiny banner i did for after every post... cool? zzzz. can you guys think of ways to improve the bloggggggggg... cannnnnnnnn.......... or tell me links to add. or give me your friend's blogs links. or something... complain complain complain.

sometimes, is all the time. and never, means maybe.

serene. long and past. we weren't fighting over serene. we're fighting about serene. how jianhong cancelled our appointments to meet serene. long and past. long, past and forgotten. and shaun's just full of shit. as usual. i would love to love you but it's gay.

gonna go into reclusive mode soon. not that i want to. thanks to confinement of recruits. 2 weeks: 7th jan - 20 jan. no leaving camp except for nights off. how wonderful. maybe it's good to leave it all for awhile and face botak heads for a few days huh? face born in 1986 JC botak heads. i wish. and thanks to BMTC's screwed up system, my OC is a 40+ yr old SWO. at least he SEEMS nice. ughhh. 148 days left. give it to me! my freedom! my precious....

tomorrow is gonna be a free day. i'm at home all day cos i managed to deflect some arrows. gonna think about what to do now... hmm maybe i'll sleep till the sun shines in my face. ogay then. byebye.

..

shaun shut it! that exercise s.t. is TOP SECRET and its eons ago so can you please not bring it up. unless you want to stir shit.

yes and we all know what your last immediate goal is all about. horticulture right? =o)

count me in on that bossa nova cafe. btw, rach thinks its cool and wants a part too.

later!

it's a hate blog

instead of spreading love we spread animosity.

in camp now.. doing some ops flying eagle stuff.. jh why do you even wanna go in the first place..
so are you buying the turntable from me? cheap cheap 75 bucks. lol.. my uncle says he'll check the shipping out in canada. let's hope my uncle is on the ball and does everything asap. then we can have a nice sound system in our rooms, with a turntable, and a huge nice backdrop @ $18/sq ft. of something cool. or we could have the one with the bridge to island paradise...lol.

and i guess ian is pissed again...lol.. second time he asked me to stfu. first time was when i tried to parley for jianhong during EX SERENE TAN. "shaun shut you you stay out of it". doesn't pay to be kind ya? ian i'm sorry - i still love you, and i hope you love me too. because only together, can we get through life's turnmoils and it's neverending uncertainty. together, let's live our story. muahahahahahaa.

anyway this saturday is isaac's birthday party... everyone is invited, so do come.. i'll be having my combat shoot before that, so i'll probably arrive after 1am. or somewhere there..call isaac at 91139551 for hot sex or queries on how to get there. don't call me, i'm just a useless bum. anyone else who wants to go with us and meet new people and make new friends, do call isaac as well. we welcome you.

"i walk a lonely road, the only one that i have ever known.
Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and i walk alone.
i walk this empty street, on the boulevard of broken dreams, where the city sleeps and i'm the only one and i walk alone."

plans.

time to talk about other things.

anyone wanna go aceh or sri lanka? i'm planning to volunteer either with army or nvpc to go. somewhere in april ?

melb march

sri lanka april

shanghai again may.

hopefully citibank internship june-aug.

smu aug till god knows when.

anyone wanna share their plans too ?

cool it guys..

crazy about the old.

yesterday when i was playing my frank sinatra dvd in camp, my bunkmate mentioned, "jianhong since you like to hear old men sing, why don't you go volunteer at an old folks home and hear them sing to you." ... pretty much sums up what i wanna do lately right?

volunteer, old men singing.. blah.

anyways i have a latest craze. its turntables and vinyls. wanted to buy a antique gramaphone but was a bit put off by the maintainence and the constant winding.. saw this shop retrospective at esplanade and they had this b-e-a-u-tiful turntable. glass. white. extravagant. cost : 1399. anyone wanna sponser? heh. my interest turned to turntables. plays vinyls instead of ceramic discs and connects to speakers which are easier to handle!

well, shaun's uncle has 2 turntables in canada and he offered to send them over to us! thank God for your uncle, shaun. play around with it first before investing in one..

can you imagine louis armstrong playing on a vinyl ? amazing.

deja vu?

oops, sorry!

did my post sound like i was apologising? oops i'm sorry shaun, it wasn't supposed to sound like an apology. because it's not. and ian toning down is like snow falling in singapore. impossible. do you think i enjoy getting pissed off and pissing people off? well, maybe it's just ian to regularly piss people off then, huh? yeah ian's just a volatile creature. as a side note, you should just join jh at tango since you two always do things together. it takes two to tango anyway. and no, i don't wanna join tango.

-post has been edited to reduce collateral damage-

last thing, shout out to BMTC Sch 1 CO: i love you for postponing the inspection from yesterday to today and then from today to tomorrow. thanks for making me go to camp early in morning and do nothing, twice. you better not postpone it again tomorrow, bitch.

this july we collide with mars!

ian if that's your way of saying sorry for being a petty bitch it's not working. try "i'll tone down it's my fault" instead of "it's your fault you pissed me off so beware, i bite".

*better run*

met up with jh after work today and again, waited for him to do his hair. this is like the umpteenth time i've done that. jh stepped on birdshit. i followed him to sign up for his tango nonsense - a passing phase i must say - at jitterbugs. along the way he bought some frank sinatra dvds and is really happy because they were being cleared out. 17 bucks instead of 61. anyway when we reached jitterbugs i was pleasantly greeted by the sight of many women in body hugging lycra doing funny dance moves. it could almost made me join with jianhong on the spot cept i'm really a boh chup person and i chose to start stoning while jh talked with the counter-girl-person. in the end there were currently 3 girls and 2 guys awaiting the next tango, inclusive of jh. so they kinda need at least one more guy to start the class. my eyes are closing. sorry. zzzzzzz... ...

then we walked around millenia walk and looked at furniture. then that's the end of the day. wow. i'm tired man. driving tmr. whee.

a third person perspective.

sunday. 2nd day of 2005. rained as usual. stuck at home till late. parkway beckoned. trash talking. people pissed. ridicule. 5-star chicken. taxi-ed home. not a good day.

ian's day started out alright. woke up at a nice, comfy 4pm. mmm, can you tell that ian loves his bed? he did a quick wash-up and parked himself in front of the nice black comp till 8. parkway beckoned. he took a quick shower, changed and flew down to meet TEG at parkway. the whole TEG! shaun, jh, greg, cai and ian. started out pretty fine. talking, joking but suddenly someone said something. he can't remember what it was, he wasn't even sure who said it! but it sure as hell pissed him off. well, when ian's pissed off, his mind hangs. like it's overloaded or on fire or whatever. but his mouth's still running! oh my, rat-tat-tat! just like a machine gun, on and on. and this gun shoots blindly my friends. and no! somehow it can't stop! whoever speaks shall be shot down! some smartly kept quiet. some stood against this outrage and retaliated and was shot down with mindless proficiency. but soon, this mouth of his grew tired. as his mind restarts itself, it regain control of the mouth and slows it down. till it switches off. and so ian became silent. silent as the night.

seeing the above case study, we dissect ian's behaviour. it seems that it may be wise not to piss ian off because the after effects are at least irritating. who wants to listen to a mad ranting fool? but if someone does piss him off, it would be good to let him be, and let his mind awaken itself. it may not be wise to talk to him, unless you offer words which may help cool his mind and warm his heart, lest he releases all his fury upon you, slinging poisoned words and stinging remarks all round. guys, you've been warned. so take heed. ladies can relax cos somehow, by some primal instinct, ian only reserves his harsh words for dudes.

now, how to do you jolt that mind of his then? what words would you use to make sure he doesn't turn around and bite you in your ass? well, you can for one, tickle his heart. make him laugh a little. try to pull a smile from him and you'll be fine. unless you're the one who pissed him off, well, for you my friend, i suggest you stay far away from him till you actually see him laugh.

and how do you know if you pissed him off? easy~! is he shooting down everything you say? is he countering your every word? jackpot! YOU pissed him off! don't know why? it doesn't matter! cos you just need to know that you did it. so stay low for awhile. allow his mind to cool and wait awhile for those pearly whites to flash. ian may get pissed off quickly, but he cools off just as quickly. especially if you're a friend. he doesn't bear grudges.

anyway ian's fine now. thanks for everyone's concern. ian actually decided not to have any new year resolutions. but he has a one now. one that he has a chance of accomplishing: keep down his DOTA. so pls, help ian distract himself from DOTA. he mentions that he'll be very grateful.

'someday, when i'm awfully low

and the world is cold....'

greg and i sharing the comfy mattress on new year's morning, hours after i offered shaun his fish cracker. shaun and jh were on the bed to our right, cai was to our left cocooned in the blanket on the floor and isaac, commando-trained, slept against the wall, all in the confines of dear shaun's room! anyhoo, wondered how greg managed to keep his eyes open against the sony ericsson light. i was more or less blinded there. that was a grimace, folks, not a smile. well, anyway greg then asked me who's that in the middle. hmmm, good question...
 

why does it always rain on meeeee

two oh oh five

hello happy new year everyone...
yesterday/today was really great.. i love small get togethers.. it's just so much more meaningful. esp before we fell asleep with all the goodnight-sue goodnight liwen goodnight nicole etc etc... really really wonderful (k who was bored yesterday own up). anyway so sorry i had a fever.. must be cai's fault cause he couldn't host it at his house and therefore stressed me up unnecessarily. recovered fast enough to catch the last of saving private ryan and managed to steal some bites of fish chips before cai literally smashed it out of my hand and threw it on the table. bitch. thanks all of you who acted really gay and gave me panadol and sat by my bed (LOL THIS SOUNDS FREAKING FUNNY) and tempted me with chips... esp jh who brought me a cup of ice water and periodically changed the wet ice cold towel on my forehead. but i guess i repaid him by sleeping with him.

anyway i hope this new year brings everyone new found hope, and new experiences. 2004 was a rather mundane year, tilting more towards lousy. let's see what 2005 will bring... with all the changes and sorts. let's pray it be a great year.

she's casting her spell again.

i like this. look how we look after the sick boy =) we gave him lots of tlc 

lets talk about 2005

hey guys.
thanks for making it really cool yday to usher in the new year.
pausing the show to jump on shaun was great.
lucky he got better with all the love flying about his room. felt really hot. hear that girls. shaun's really hot and phat too.
anyways. here's to a wonderful year to all of you dudes.

dunno what to say really. but i hope all of you guys just take half a sec, to appreciate what we have today.

happy new yr everybody

can u guys friggin believe its 2005 alr? like yo.. not the fast la? its a yr of changes definitely. like the cyberparkers are finally gonna ORD? all of us are finally gonna begin our uni lives n perhaps do so many other interesting things tt we wld have never thought we wld do. hmm refect.


anyway shall sum up what TEG ,or (THE EAST GANG) for those who still dont knw, did on NYE. As u can see from the previous post, shaun n jh being incredibly gay have been hanging out since the day b4 with mark n stayed at his place n hence were incapable of meeting up with the remainder of us namely cai , ian n i. so on a rainy nye afternoon, i went to pick em up n we headed to town knwing full well tt the roads wld be jammed. smart? hmm. a few detours n jams ltr ( fort canning park not included ) the car suddenly found its way to lido n tts where it stayed all the way till bout 8 in the evening. bummed ard a bit, bought an fcuk top n somehow or rather we wound up at cine for DOTA. woo! things looked pretty bleak with over 20 names on the waiting list but somehow everything changed when we spotted tammy at the counter. tammy by the way is an old friend of mine from way back in pri sch. gaming pro with the looks to boot. so in under 5 mins we were happily sitting at our coms playing DOTA! cheers tam!

At the end of it all we finally decided to head down to shauns. started raining on the way down n the thought of the poor dudes n dudettes at the sentosa party suddenly came to mind =) wonder what happened there. k im getting a lil sick of this narration alr. *fast forward* we are at shauns place n guess what! the pookie has a fever. N somehow the florence nightingale in all of us came out with jh getting him a wet towel to sponge him down, cai giving him soothing words n i got the panadol. ian was being an ass. he offered the sick boy fish crackers! =) anyway we ended up watching saving private ryan when engene n mavis popped in. anyway the night ended with a game of risk which i think i won =)

ogay... as u can see i lost interest in this post.suddenly find it extremely boring. but hey gimme a break. dont ask me why i started it. ltr.

"How happy can one man be.... xxxxx .... ain't that a kick in the head...!"
