if theres one word to describe how im feeling now, its drained. with a capital D. for those of u who alr knw, yes i went to ntu for the pre-matriculation med check up this morning. was alr feeling the D word last night in town with the dudes so din say much all the way. waking up early this morn din really do much to improve the situation too. luckily dad gave me a lift there on the way to the office.
day did not really go right from the start. mostly due to my own dg. hopped on the NTU bus 179, yes ntu has its own bus service, from jurong pt n took a 10 min ride to the sch grds. was supposed to get off at the medical centre but for some reason i totally missed the stop n the next thing i knew i was back on jalan boon lay. well done greg. day dreamin. hmm. unfortunately things did not get better once i got to the centre. apart from the long queue, n missing the chance to meet friends who jus came out of a lecture, the ah ma who took my height n weight happily made be shorter n heavier. but its ok. she probably has poor eyesight or what not. the rest of it was quite routine till i got hit by the ultimate stunner. i quote the ah ma again "ah boy ah, now u have to go to jurong pt for ur chest X-ray to complete the check up". i din knw what to feel at tt pt of time. amused at the fact tt i was repeated called "ah-boy" or the profound dulan-ness tt i felt welling up due to the fact tt the ntu medical centre is so damn hopeless with doctors who are balding n are probably gay n the fact tt they cant complete the whole check up in one location. blah. but not matter. im home now. no more chinese chattering all ard me n pagodas in the back grd. argh.
revelling in the fact tt im in my air con room blogging while the rest of the dudes are back in camp dg what not. realise tt ive been drastically overspending this mth. im alr drawing into my reseves alr n there are still so many things i wanna get. deciding if i shd do the whole wish list thing but yeah shant. so will jus state out a few namely a new pair of leather shoes, more white polos. not sure what ive been spending my $$ on this mth but i keep seeing myself standing infornt of the atm machine taking out more n more cash. gonna stop it now.. def less clubbing n LESS dota. its really quite expensive too if we keep playing it. but who ami to say it eh.. im still playing it.
ay. dad jus gave me quite a stern lecture on the way to ntu tdy n the gist of it was "son u have to come to a pt where u have to stop playing n get ur life in order. prepare urself for the future. u do not want to spend the rest of ur life regretting". maybe i have been playing too much n taking a lot of things for granted. but this sure came at a timely moment. have to make sure this feeling stays for a while instead of letting it evaporate the very next day. gonna re-apply for SMU again.i loathe NTU. somehow i feel im not really lucky in tt department. i thought i did a pretty good job with my application last yr topping it off with some sort of a personal appeal but i din work. while ppl with worse grades n lesser initiative managed to get short listed into some new course. it was very very demoralising when i found out bout tt. perhaps prayer n divine intervention wld come in handy now but yeah im gonna try again. one last shot b4 the window closes n i decide to fly off to the land of aus.
jus for once. jus once. cld sth jus go the way i want it to? seem to be failing in all areas. im trying my best here right? no half fuck attitude when it come to this. hmm but we'll see. we'll see.

more ramblings from the resident insomniac
expecting a poem weren't you?
maybe a rhyming word or two?
but today i'm just not in the mood.
so rhyme i won't, even if i could.
3 plus in the morning and i'm still awake. don't know what i'm doing really. gotta go back at 630 later. i really loathe the island. it's so faraway. leaving is a pain. going back is a pain. ah.. it's just a big pain. can't imagine it's gonna become a residential estate in 10 years time. who'd wanna take a boat there everytime they're going home? how the hell do you build an mrt-line so far out? how's the dear taxi uncle gonna send you back? i don't know. don't ask me. it's just a dumb island. the place of my military birth. the place of my military end. thanks. gimme 3 more months.
just a thought:
your girl may talk to another man. your girl may walk with another man. your girl may dine with another man. your girl may flirt with another man. your girl may even hold, touch or dance with another man. but if her heart's with you, nothing she does will ever compare to those she does with you, no one she meets will be better than you and at the end of the day, she'll still be yours and yours only to have. guys, your thoughts?
i just feel that's so ideal. too bad the world isn't. too bad i'm not either.
mmm i just realised i have a recruit who's been with his girlfriend for the past 6yrs. since 14! damn, how do they keep it so long. i've never wondered. haha guess i'll never understand. nothing i've had ever lasted more than 10 months. perhaps it's just me. i never believed in patching up. still don't. it's just too tiring.
something's bugging me. i don't know what it is, i just know it's there. perhaps i do know. but perhaps i'm just shutting it out. deluding myself. making me think there's nothing. perhaps perhaps? perhaps not? haha, escapism. such an easy way out. my favourite way out.
another thing. told greg over swimming one day that life's much simpler and easier when you leave out expectations. without expectations, you're just drifting through. like water. no heartache, no pain and no worries. but then again, without expectations, how would you live? you have no hopes, no visions, no goals, no wants and no needs. you wouldn't be living. you'd be just drifting through. like water.
mmm, just caught this on tv. found it amusing. the male brown marsupial mouse. i quote: "upon puberty, they experience a sudden surge in male hormones(testerone?). for days, they'll go into a frenzy, mating with EVERY single female they come across. for days, there's no eating, no drinking, no sleeping, just mate mate mate for up to 12 hours per female. finally, they'd die from sheer exhaustion, hunger or depravity from...mating." goodness. haha. talk about self-destructive behaviour. crazy little buggers.
alright! long day tomorrow. seeya guys next weekend. and how could i forget: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JH!!!! it's 29th feb by the way people. =)
expecting a poem weren't you?
maybe a rhyming word or two?
but like i promised you this time,
i told you, i just wouldn't rhyme.

hmm!
just got this quilt and cover from the guys (teg + gabe isaac and zhiguang). and a compartmentalization thing from ikea. THANKS! just what i need for my new room. haha. and to feel the brotherhood love (warmth) when i sleep. ew.
oh well. got angbaos from my aunties. just nice for my piggy bank too. soccer ball (?!) from shar and jf, golf balls and glove from my branch! 3 christian books from lloyd, dg and my cuz. cake from grace, fossil watch from aunty, hugo perfume from 01s62, wine from quek.zara shirt from eric, postcard from peg and lastly sue for the ray cd. its plugged it and exclusive for today! thanks everyone!
just finished tango lesson number 4. learnt how to do a BOX step and a half turn. fun! you know whats so attractive about tango ? you learn basic fundamental steps, but you improvise and innovate so no 2 dance numbers will be the same! its so unlike hiphop or some other dance where you learn like exact steps for a song and it can only be used for that song. thats so boring, and so critical. yeh anyone wanna pick up tango with me so i won't have to dance with the old ladies in the class? opps. yeh no babes man, just old aunties in the class. sad right.

ramblings of an insomniac: part ii
partying in the club on a friday night,
something in the air just didn't feel right.
that minor tingling in the atmosphere,
soon became my greatest fear.
though andrew belt out the beat and the groove,
i was stuck to the ground, unable to move.
surely something was bothering in my head.
but i just couldn't point out that which i dread.
oh goodness, what tricks play in my mind?
good lord, what's left my heart in a bind?
i hope it's just a passing phase,
for i just can't wait to get out of this daze.

ramblings of an insomniac
There she goes, right past his eyes:
sugar, spice and everything nice.
A wink, a smile, his heart's aflutter.
Her single touch, he melts like butter.
And so he'll hope and so he'll pray,
that she will grant his wish today.
But in his mind he'll know, he'll know,
all she'll ever say is, 'No.'
Heart broken in his torment,
his anguish building with each moment,
he finally breaks down in his tears,
a realisation of all his fears,
where nothing he has felt was ever true.
Thus a broken man was left to rue,
that all her flirtings and all her teasings,
were nothing more than a lady's playings.

what a night.
we did what we cld ian.
as best as we cld.

a story
yeah. ignorance is bliss. i've finally come to realise how ignorance can be bliss. what you do not know cannot possibly hurt you. i really sympathise with him that such things can be happening around him. but at the same time feel relieved that he doesn't know or have any clue about it. surely if he had known, the pain would be great. very great indeed. it would've been over. long over. but then again how can any responsible person not possibly know of such matters? or perhaps he just doesn't care? but then again if he didn't care, how'd it be so long? confused? puzzled? so am i..
i put myself in his shoes for a moment. and thought back. i shudder. oh well, perhaps now it's time for me to say ignorance is bliss for me. for if i'd not known, i wouldn't be so puzzled. if i'd not known, i wouldn't think so much. if i'd not known, then i wouldn't have given a damn.
damn, time to go back camp. only be out at 6pm. like..thanks alot.

absolut incoherence
i feel another poem's coming soon. but 15 min on and no good links. good for you. you've been saved!
fact #1: NSFs are only dutiful to their work if their lives in camp are more exciting than their one outside. either that or they really like what they're doing.
hell, i'm returning to my heavy clubbing ways. why? been clubbing so often recently. argh. RnBs drawing me back. andrew chow's drawing me back. why. i can only question.
fact #2: Men would be in control if the correct head thinks. but then again, men wouldn't be men if the right head thinks all the time. so men can never be in control for too long. how sad.
i've been thinking of how to maintain my finances in SMU. it feels weird to always rely on parents. in fact i resent the idea of living off my parents, it's time i started to be financially independent. but then... work + study would leave me with a pathetic social life. play + study would leave my wallet in tatters. work + play would get me kicked out of SMU. oh well, you can never have everything can you?
fact #3: I really can't wait to ORD. the uniformed life is not my life.
poem coming......
just kidding.

paradox equation
is turning 21 really such a big deal? its jus another day. many thanks to the well wishers tho. appreciate it.
what my gut feeling tells me does not concur with what my mind is telling me but... i refuse to accept it.
i force myself to believe tt being rational about everything is not the only way.
what i keep seeing before me, what my mind keeps playing over n over n over again is perhaps really a figment of my own imagination.
i think too much. i knw it. but i jus have not summoned the strength to obliterate it.
it knocks off my focus, changes everything n traps my mind in some sort of mental torture chamber. thus resulting in 2 types of greg. the usual happy crazy one n the one tt jus shuts up.
there u go. my greatest weakness for the whole world to see.
et tu brute.

hmm
I was all right for a while,
I could smile for a while.
But I saw you last night;
You held my hand so tight
when you stopped to say hello.
Oh, you wished me well,
you couldn't tell
that I'd been crying over you,
crying over you.
And you said so long,
left me standing all alone.
Alone and crying
Crying.
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be
Crying over you.
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying
crying
over you.

ooh yeah. the fingers tt im using to type this now has jus torn up & assisted into my mouth the most delicious crab for the mth of feb 2005 =) i tell u.. grandmas hold the secret to a great home cooked meal! fuck all the 'yan can cook', 'naked chef', 'floyd' give me AH MA anythime man.
hmm was in camp for a grand total of 1 day n here i am again. off till the weekend. think i used the time in there to test the batt life on my ipod haha. which i must add is pretty pathetic. esp when i up the volume n connect it to my cambridge soundworks. guess all the ipod mini users out there shd alr knw this but hey! im new so yeah.
met the sailors this afternoon. i expected fish n co. like the rest of em but hey our ex danish coach ,who some how managed to get engaged to one of our fellow sailors sister, insisted on the local cuisine so we jus moved over to the marine parade hawker centre n had measly chicken rice. i mean after uve tried 5-star chicken rice off east coast road... come on.. how can anything else come close.
dota craving unearthed itself in the time to come so cai n i ended up joining shaun at the lan shop at pw. pretty normal except for one part where some unknown dude said..
annex A: NOOB = beginner
darkterror (some asshole) said: orange(the colour of my player) noob
greg:--looks at cai-- ehh am i orange? is tt guy refering to me? im orange right?

hmm was in camp for a grand total of 1 day n here i am again. off till the weekend. think i used the time in there to test the batt life on my ipod haha. which i must add is pretty pathetic. esp when i up the volume n connect it to my cambridge soundworks. guess all the ipod mini users out there shd alr knw this but hey! im new so yeah.
met the sailors this afternoon. i expected fish n co. like the rest of em but hey our ex danish coach ,who some how managed to get engaged to one of our fellow sailors sister, insisted on the local cuisine so we jus moved over to the marine parade hawker centre n had measly chicken rice. i mean after uve tried 5-star chicken rice off east coast road... come on.. how can anything else come close.
dota craving unearthed itself in the time to come so cai n i ended up joining shaun at the lan shop at pw. pretty normal except for one part where some unknown dude said..
annex A: NOOB = beginner
darkterror (some asshole) said: orange(the colour of my player) noob
greg:--looks at cai-- ehh am i orange? is tt guy refering to me? im orange right?

girls
girls, strange creatures they would be,
or perhaps only just to me.
a smile to leave you in a daze,
a kiss to set your heart ablaze.
soon we crave for just that chance,
to please those ladies just this once.
try as we may, try as we might,
but in their eyes we're never right!
so they fuss, they whine and they irritate.
leaving us in one confused state.
tsk, such trouble! tsk, such pain!
those girls will drive us ALL insane.
but fools like us shall never learn,
to resist the one thing we all yearn.
oh fair lady so pretty, so fine,
you're simply just one of a kind.
my dear friends, won't you agree?
all we'll ever want is... she.

screaming infidelities
I'm missing your laugh, how did it break.
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as your pretending
I'm cuddling close to blanket and sheets
and I am alone, in my defeat
I wish I knew you were safely at home.
I'm missing your bed, I never sleep,
avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak.
and this bottle of Beast is taking me home.
Well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs,
and sit alone and wonder...
how you're making out.
But as for me I wish that I was anywhere...
With anyone...making out
Your hair.
It's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities.
And taking its wear.

chitty chitty bang bang
finally. the agonising damn 7 day field camp is over. starting to hate my boss. warrants. ugh. good thing i've just got another 4 months! 030605 here i comeeeeeee!
1 week in the jungles and you feel like you're detached from the world. ha! actually i feel detached everytime i take the damned ferry. anyway, if you've got time, go visit cai's blog. the falling off the carriage thing is damn freaking hilarious. tickled the tips of my toes.
sigh leaving the army soon and the few things i'll miss will definitely be those late nights, lying on the grass, watching the stars stretch endlessly into oblivion. red stars, white stars, light blue stars, brown stars. ummm, bet u didn't even realise they had colours eh? the cloudless sky, the full orange moon hanging at the corner and those shining gems, every single one etched into the deep violet sky. such flawless beauty. i'd get a snapshot of it if i could. but tsk. unfortunate.
february! haha so many people's birthdays. namely our dearest elwk, frank(ie) and greggo. and some of you regular patrons here are feb's kids too if i remember right. to elwk, frank and greggo, happy 21st u old goons. haha.
speaking of which, greg and i are gonna have a fantastically romantic v-day night at our beloved rendezvous: reclaimed land. haha, why you say? cos it's the 1st day of sittest! yes on 14th feb it is. walking side by side along the dirt tracks, cursing sweet nothings and star gazing. how romantic? maybe top it off with a bunsen burner dinner. won't you agree greg? ok this is getting a wee bit too sick.
well anyway, it's high time i re-established myself. carrying on where the army stopped me. it's about damn time!
extra note: how to party during fieldcamp.
step 1: get an mp3 phone with techno, rnb, retro. whatever.
step 2: get a megaphone.
step 3: wait till those meddling warrants leave.
step 4: set megaphone volume to 10.
step 5: press phone speaker to megaphone and push play!
"the book, the book is on the table. ta-table ta-table x 3."
wonders of what euro-techno does to people who're bored and full of repressed energy.

bdo
monday was a weird day. watched kill bill 2 at home, and went to bugis to change my mom's siemens charger cos its spoilt. they gave the nonsense excuse that the new shipment of chargers are not here yet, so whats my mom supposed to use to charge her phone? hmm.. was supposed to meet shaun at "6 plus 7" apparently.
shaun : "eh shit man my S3's holding me back. fu****"
me : "er ok i'll just wait for you, i'll go walk around"
from bugis i walked to bras brasah. picked up 3 books for 3 bucks from the many second hand bookstores there. great buy! time : 1800
walked to bata at peninsula plaza and developed my photos at konata. time : 1845
walked to the adelphi and gazed at the turntable thats due to be mine. time : 1915
walked to the padang and realized that singapore's really pretty at sunset. i looked right and saw the victoria concert hall and the backdrop of the CBD. i looked left and saw the towering suntec city and its surroundings. directly in front was of cos the esplanade. never seen singapore like this before. accompanied with nothing but the slight breeze, felt fantastic. time : 1930
walked to the esplanade via the underpass and glanced over the photo exhibits pasted on the walls.. headed straight to RETROspective. spoke to the shopkeeper about pro-ject turntables and tube amplifiers. figured i could get the whole works up and running under 1k. enticing. time : 2015 and shaun's not done yet!
gave him a call and found out its way too late...
walked up to the library at esplanade and they have a fabulous array of books and cds! borrowed 2 : frank sinatra autobio, and the history of jazz. saw this entire section of videos on dance and picked a few titles. only to find that you have to be a premium member to borrow videos. premium?! 21 bucks a year. nah its ok.
time : 2100
a lil bit of time left.
walked up to the newly renovated sky garden and reminicised about the times of yesteryear. 2002. the time of studying for A's with serene. when the library just opened and belonged to us. only us. the sky garden was just a roof with uneven stabs of stone and it belonged to us. only us. at that time, it didn't matter. the breeze was the same, the skyline was the same, the memories were the same and they belonged to us. only us. something seemed amiss. someone.
