Paradoxical

2009, aged 22

2009-08-21T02:42:00.002+08:00

Wow, i just remebered this blog exists a couple days back and finally decided to check it out today. My last post was in 2007 on the night i enlisted. Reading that post brought back so many memories of the years past which have somewhat been forgotten.

2 years have passed since then. 2 years. My elistment into the army which i dreaded and feared so much is now a thing of the past.

I type this post for myself and only myself to read in maybe a couple of years from now. Yes, this is my personal time capsule. What should i blog about now? What will my life be like then? How will i feel then, reading what i blog about now?

i guess i shall start with the obvious: my army experience. For the past 2 years thats all my life has been about... the army army army. Well, i gotta say i had a pretty interesting journey, being a doghandler for the first *almost* year of my ns life will definately be something i can talk about and remember for a long time. Having a total of 6months mc during my service is something to be proud of.

regarding my mc, the wrist surgery which i underwent, will i live to regret it? did i actually make the right decision? even now, memories from a year back seems hazy, trying to recall if it was really beneficial for me then to do the surgery. Did i really lie to myself in order to "chao keng"? did i believe that my wrist really required surgery? DID IT REALLY REQUIRE SURGERY??? I cant remember even now, what i was thinking back then.

but what has been done has been done. i will have to live with the scars and inconvinience of having an injured wrist for the rest of my life. In a few years as i'm reading this post once more, i will know if my 6months was worth it.

I think i have learnt more about myself over the past 2 years... i am definately a procrastinator. i do stupid, really really stupid things when i'm drunk. i am seriously too laid back. i am a much too impulsive person and i dont think important things through enough.

I just remembered, i do have a few significant achievements during the past 2 years.

Achievement no.1: i lost 20kg (from 95 to 75kg!) dropping from a size XL to a M !!! however, at the point in time typing this post i have gone back up to 80kg. I WILL continue to lose weight, and i sincerely hope that when i read this a couple of years from now, i would be at most in the 70-75 region, if not less.

Achievement no.2 : I have finally reduced my regular smoking habit to almost zero (note almost) after being a habitual smoker for more than 5 years. this is indeed a major achievement considering i have been wanting to quit since year 1 of smoking.

Memories are flooding back as i draft this post. There have been 2 major life impacting events for me over the past 2 years. No.1, Losing over 10k in the sunshine empire scam after "investing" 22k. Till this day, i believe this is the stupidest thing have done in my life and i dont think i will ever see a single cent of the 10k ever again, considering it has been almost 1 and a half years. Please i hope i will never do something this dumb that i will regret so badly ever again.

No.2, news of my mother having breast cancer has deeply affected my life, this is partially the reason why i have been able to shed some weight and quit my smoking habit. i fear losing my mother someday. but i will lose her someday. having to see my mother know she has cancer and being brave about it somehow pains me, and i want to help her, live up to her expectations be the kind of guy she wants me to be. yes i love my mother.

Regarding relationships i have, nothing much has changed, my best friends are the same bunch of dudes who have been there for the past years. though azfar and pow are away in aussie studying, they are somehow ever present. i want to see us continue the way we are over the next years and hopefully a lifetime. I still do not have a girlfriend, which i have never gotten in my entire life. however much i yearn for female conpanionship and love, i guess its not a priority in life for me at the moment and being the laid back and lazy person i am, indeed to a certain extent i possibly cannot be bothered to put effort into getting a girlfriend.

Right now the most important thing is my studies which i have only commenced a couple weeks back, and i want to do my parents proud this time around, also this is my final chance to get a good placing in society. i have no idea what kind of life i'll be living when i graduate, not to mention the kind of job i'll be doing.

okay. i'm tired and i want to sleep. i've said so much to my future self and on a final note, i just wanna say, continue to be full of hope, continue to be happy and carefree but i hope the me in 2 or 3 years will be a better person. and i will not have any regrets over events that might happen over the next years.

see you when i see you.

A Whole New Chapter Begins...

2007-07-27T00:38:00.000+08:00

Wow... I havent blogged in more than a year and so much has happened since...

Let me just have a short recap on 2006 and 2007 thus far:

2006:
1) I got laid for the first time...
2) Got my bike license after spending nearly 1k and got my first bike- Honda Phantom, a week later, and also had my first accident soon after...
3) Joined my first MLM company, PGI (which later turned out to be a scam)
4) Worked for attachment company, Kelly Services for 3 months as part of my internship programme.
5) Got high on weed for the first time when i visited my friends having internship in KL..
6) Had a christmas business, where i managed to earn $20...

2007:
6) Graduated with Diploma in Business from Temasek Polytechnic
7) Became an Anime Addict, watching Anime 5-6 hours a day...
8) Went for a holiday in Langkawi with Azfar, Brandon, Pow and Selina... Introduced them to weed there, played watersports and basically chilled by the beach...
9) Joined my second MLM company, Sunshine Empire and Invested $22000 against my parent's wishes...
10) Called to Serve the Nation....................

Yes, in a few hours i'll be enlisting into NATIONAL SERVICE, at Pulau Tekong Basic Military School!

How do i fell now? TERRIBLY NERVOUS, ANXIOUS, UNCERTAIN.

Though I'll be going through a "less demanding" 7-week PES C training, I just feel so totally overwhelmed by the fact that MY CIVILLIAN LIFE IS OVER! Yes, i'll be regimentalized over the next 7 weeks, and loose my freedom for the next 2 years...

As i'm typing this, i can just feel my stomach churning (perhaps its the sushi buffet i had with my parents earlier)... haha...

The current state of my hair is the longest it has ever been, growing way beyond my shoulder length... BUT TOMORROW I'LL BE CLEAN SHAVEN!

I seriously hope that i can blend well with my bunk mates, and not be an outcast or "sabo kia". Well, they say that the bonds a man makes in NS are the ones he's gonna stick with for life...

As i was reading my previous post earlier, i couldnt help but to think that the past year passed just like that *snap*... i hope that the next 2 years can pass by in a similar fashion...

(stomach churns again)

It almost feels like just yesterday that i sent Win Keng into BMT, but that was two years ago and he has already ORD... tomorrow is his turn to return my favour and send me in...

Ok. I've said enough... its time for me to sleep now....

(i'm so gonna miss the internet) *sob*

Pissed

2006-05-11T13:53:00.000+08:00

I havent blogged in over 5 months... But today i really really feel that i should express my anger towards myself in writing.

I just cant believe how bloody unlucky or fucking scatter brained i can get. I lose things so fucking regularly and cant seem to be more careful and learn my bloody lesson. Damn it.

I just have no fucking mood to continue taking my bike license now.... i'm just pissed at myself... i just lost the stupid bluetooth earpiece redemption voucher last week worth $99 ... Today i have to fucking lose my 2B training booklet, which contains my PDL, and i cant apply for a new one in time cos i lost my ATM card... Thus causing me to miss my bike lesson worth $30... on top of everything, i had to miss my MA lecture for nothing...

ive got so fucking much on my mind now... i just feel like drinking some whiskey and going to sleep, but i have to finish my damn projects due next week... Fuck.

I know i should think of how fortunate i am compared to others... at least my dad is sponsoring me 500 for the license... others have to pay for it themselves...
But i'm pissed at myself for making stupid mistakes like this... fuck.

Final Blog Entry??

2005-12-10T23:55:00.000+08:00

Hi all, well the day has come...

I've been having this blog for nearly a year already....

So many things have gone on this year....

As u may have already read my anouncement, yes i probably wont be blogging anymore...

Why? Just no time... or i just got better things to do...

I doubt anyone visits this blog anyway....

So i've decided to just keep this as a page in a novel of my life...

Perhaps i will blog again... perhaps once in a couple months, or perhaps when there events in life i really wanna remember in detail...

Thanks to all who have been visiting or have visited... see ya all around and take care!!

Holiday celebrations....

2005-10-31T02:31:00.000+08:00

ok... i really dun feel like blogging a long one... overall ive been like having lots of fun and spending lots of money the past couple of days... watching movie after movie, going K-box, drinking at Boat Quay, Clubbing at China Black...

It was all good....... really enjoyed myself...

but schools startin soon... kinda looking forward to it, with my small in-school attachment to Kelly Services coming up...

Perhaps the only reason why i'm blogging these days is so that i can look back at all these memories i had as a teenager, some time in the future...

Stuff...

2005-10-12T12:13:00.000+08:00

Yep... indeed my blog has been like totally inactive for like the past one month...

Besides my dad not allowing me to use the com, ive been like busy doin other stuff.... started working at toys r us with Pow about a week ago and just registered for my car license yesterday...

Azfar has also finally gone to serve the government last saturday.... damn... really missing that dude man...

Other than all that... i'm gonna be having a major up-and-coming "project"... its gonna be big...
K... i gotta get outta here now... i've got a driving theory lesson to catch... chaoz...

P.S. I really think its gonna be common for my blog to be inactive... but i'll still try to blog at least once a month...

Langkawi trip !!!

2005-09-22T17:17:00.000+08:00

Alrite... Caleb here.. I'm sure most of u guys out there know Zac, Azfar and I went to Langkawi.. we had a hell of a fun time there and since theres so much to blog abt we decided to split the days up.. i'll be taking the first two days...

Monday
This was our initial plan: Go to JB's bus terminal, take a 10 hr bus ride to Penang, and finally catch a ferry to Langkawi island. Plain and simple.

We met up and left singapore in the evening, hoping to catch a late bus to Penang so that we can sleep out the 10hrs. Luckily we reached Larkin (JB's bus station) at 10.30pm, just in time to catch the last bus. But we had some trouble sleeping cos we were all so excited abt to the days to come....

Tuesday
By the time we reached Penang it was already daylight, it was definately a real sick 10hrs.
However, our Inital plans on how to get to Langkawi were straight away messed up from the moment we reached Penang.

The bus stopped a small bus terminal which was far away from the main station. We had to catch a cab to find a money changer, and then go to the ferry terminal. BUT when we reached the terminal, ALL the ferries to Langkawi had already left. We might have been stuck in Penang for one night. We went for breakfast and tried to come up with a plan.

After the meal we approached a travel agency at the ferry terminal, to ask for help. Fortunately he was kind enough to give us a map, and told us how to get to Langkawi within the day.
So First, we went to another ferry terminal where we took a ferry to Buttersworth. Next, from Buttersworth we took a bus to Alor setar. There, we took a cab to Kualar Kedah. and FINALLY we took a ferry to Langkawi. It was freaking like bag-packers style, damn adventurous.

AT Bloody Last we reached Langkawi by 3pm and quickly got our car that we rented for next 4 days. We headed straight to our "chalet", but within 30 mins of reaching Langkawi, we managed to offend a local. Azfar cut straight in to the lane of this van and the guy over took us back within a few seconds staring us like one kind.

After buying the booze (Jack Daniels) and cigarettes from the duty free shop to last us over the next couple of days, we decided to take the car for a spin through town. But we got sorta lost and eventually ended up at a deserted car park, where Azfar tried teaching Zac and I and basics of driving. By 11pm we headed back to our chalet. Before we slept that night, we took a stroll down the beach where our chalet was located. we stumbled upon a beach pub which had a live reggae band playing.

After enjoying the music for a little while, we went back to our chalet, where we retired for the night, cos we all had a long day and we wanted to wake up fresh the next day.....

Wednesday
We woke up early and headed to a nearby small restaurant to have our breakfast , we had roti canai (roti prata) and soon there was passing showers , on and off and each time less then 20 secs . We then headed to pantai cenang beach that's right behind our resort . The tides were about a metre higher than us and rip curls before they hits the shore , we were hit by the tides one after another and can even feel the current even though we only had step in till knee height, i've to say we enjoyed it to the MAX .. that's one thing you can NEVER get in SG , not even sentosa .. Many times we were caught unaware of the tides that we were smack and got caught in it as if we were in a washing machine . The sun was great too , we had sun burnt ourselves in just less then 2 hrs ..

We then drive our way to Pantai Pebble (Pebble Beach) where the shore and sea was clam , as we were driving up , we wind down our windows and off the radio to enjoy the nature's music and fresh air . Temurun Waterfall was our next destination , we snapped a few photos and headed off for lunch knowing that we'll be back for a dip !

After lunch , we headed to Tanjung Rhu Beach but on our way there we encounter a road block , we got a 50 RM fine cause azfar didn't bring any identification , but hey ,we paid that for an experience of not having a license and driving around for 4 days ! lol ..
We proceed on with our journey , Tanjung Rhu Beach is right behind Four Seasons Resort and in order to get there , we'll have to infiltrate the 5 star resort , the staff in there were friendly and smiled to us , i'll have to give them 3 thumbs up( if i had 3) !! lol .. unlike the local customer service .. we guys ought to learn from them !

After enjoying the evening breeze at the beach , we headed back to our resort to have dinner and prepared ourself for Clubbing at Ground Zero ! Ground Zero .. sound cool isn't it .. haha .. when we arrived there , we were all excited but as time pass by , it seems like we practically the only peeps around haha .. there were adults wearing slipper dancing , aunts and uncles .. totally weird .. the dj was spinning all kinds of genre , we played pool there to kill time and enjoy the music . The dance floor was so empty that me and azfar break dance on it .. haha .. We headed back to our resort with caleb feeling slight wasted , azfar and me were slight tipsy and guess what , azfar still drove us back !!! :S

2005-09-12T00:56:00.000+08:00

Well... sadly a big bomb was dropped on all of us today... only one day before our brother trip.... the one we all thought would have no problem going: Wk, has seemingly run into a brick wall with his daddy....

Man.... we've all looked forward to this brother trip, especially Wk...... doing all the planning and shit...

But the show will go on and even if our bro cant make it, we will still proceed as planned.... thats what Wk wants right?

Hopefully Brand will be able to make it.... otherwise i'll just be the 3 of us.... but we'll have fun no matter what yah....... come what fucking may...

Laugh out loud?

My sweet 18... Chiong!!!

2005-08-22T23:50:00.000+08:00

First of all, i wanna thanks all who were there with me on sat night... we had a great time didnt we?...

ok.. my day basically started with a movie at century square... caught The Maid together with Wk, Pow and Da Sao... it was a good movie in my opinion for a local movie... not bad...

Later, after the movie we went for dinner at cafe cartel... finally tried the famous pork ribs that Brand has always talked about.... damn filling...
For the first time in a couple of years i had a birthday cake, thanks to Da Sao... it was a cookie and cheese cake... damn nice but damn lemak also... haha.....

Next... it was time to Party!... we met Azfar and headed down to O BAR... free entrance before 8.. and the drinks were damn cheap... so we had some brother (and Da Sao) drinks before the rest arrived... we really talked some cock..

By 11pm, Ed, Chris and Thomas arrived and we continued to drink... with tequila pops one after another... Unfortunately after going through about 2 plus jugs of house pours and 3 tequila pops i was quite gone.... well i spent the rest of the night in a "meditation" stage...

But i still managed to squeaze some dancing at the end to say the least... overall the night was totally great... O BAR is definatly worth going to... had a fantastic time for my big 18...

1 more week.....

2005-08-10T22:05:00.000+08:00

Yup... it only 1 more week to the big ONE EIGHT and i've always thought i'll be more excited than this....

for some reason, i just feel that... ok.. one year older..... can smoke can drink can club can drive... wads the big deal?....

perhaps i shouldnt be feeling like this...

I just feel so stressed this few weeks.... hope the clubbing and drinking next saturday can ease some of it...

And i really gotta get that fake ID for Selina done... Really want my Brothers and Da Sao to be there with me when we go club...

ok... gotta chaoz now.. projects projects projects....

2005-07-31T15:42:00.000+08:00

ok.... dont need to remind me next time lah... i know i havent blogged in a very very long time.... but i have a very good excuse...

Ever since the term break was over two weeks ago, the projects seem to have been coming wave after wave... sleeping way past midnight everynight.. i havent even gone out to slack at night for quite some time...

Well... As for my results- i managed 2 As but got a D for the subject i studied hardest for... damn it..

yesterday, pow, brand and I went to beach road to try to print the freewill shirt, so that pow and wear it during his photo shoot... but we encountered some problems and we were unable to print it... really unexpected problems..

damn sian now... my birthday coming in like 19 days... but i just dun feel as excited as i thought i would be... still not sure how i'm gonna celebrate........

k... i better get back to my projects... damn nerdy right...

oh yah.. and i finally got down to putting some music here...
The Afters- Beautiful Love
enjoy!

Freewill Team = Hardcore

2005-07-11T22:51:00.000+08:00

At last the mid-sem tests are over and the s0-called term break aka "project week" has come.

To kick it off, the Bros (minus Wk) went to marine parade for a tonning session. we played pool till like 1am and then walked to east coast to slack for the rest of the night.

We kept ourselves entertained the whole night with some good clean (ok, not that clean) fun with the "Acronym Game"... its kinda hard to describe but it can certainly stimulate the mind and keep you awake for hours, and according to AZFAR (A Z00 Feeds Animals Regularly), it can be incorporated as a drinking game as well.

After having my free sausage macmuffin (cos i finally signed up for the macdonald's membership) we tried to catch a cab back to Pasir Ris... but we ended up walking to the 15 bus stop, so we took the bus back..

When we reached Pasir Ris we immediately commenced "Operation Shovel"... first we tried stealing a shovel from a construction site in broad daylight, but ended up giving up and stole one form a "garden" owned by Siglap Sec...

We quickly went to an area near Azfar's house where we intended to build the dirt track and straight away started work... digging through the grass and hard sand all the way until the early afternoon. you must keep in mind that we had not slept the whole night, we had just stolen a large shovel and here we were, bare bodied toiling in the hot sun.

Finally when we were all too exhausted to take it anymore, we retired to Azfar's house for a rest and then we headed on home for some well deserved sleep. "zzzzzzzzzzzz"

stress STRESS sTrEsS......

2005-07-01T00:17:00.000+08:00

Okok... I know my last post was like 3 weeks ago..

Life has been like totally mundane... day in day out, the same old routine..

but here I am blogging about the shit i had to go through this week...

I'm finally feeling the after-effects of slacking too much in school.. you know how someone can get accustomed to being lazy? Yah... thats me..

SUDDENLY this week i had this whole shit pile of projects and assignments thrown in my direction and i find hard to even take a piss without thinking about the term-tests next week...

I find myself staying up to like 3am in the morning struggling to wrap-up my projects...

Not surprisingly, I had a mini freak-out on wednesday morning when my floppy disk (containing my all my hardwork and late nights) suddenly got corrupted just 30 mins before I had to print and hand up my reports and assignments........ I was like so totally pissed that I was flowing with vulgarities and smacked the cpu out of pure frustration...

My groupmates were all totally shocked cos they've never seen this side of me before...

Fortunately, 5 mins before we had to go to class the floppy disk suddenly responded and i managed to print everything... literally at the eleventh hour!

Well.. by today basically everything has been settled quite nicely...

... BUT...

Term-tests are next week.. so i've got some late-night mugging to do right now... chaoz..

2005-06-12T23:26:00.000+08:00

Call me a sentimental sucker... its only been 2 days but i'm totally missing Wk already...

I went out to slack with Pow and Brand just now and some how it just didnt feel complete without him...
Sure, there have several previous occasions where Wk had something on and couldnt join us...... but this time it just felt different... i cant explain it...

Earlier in the afternoon when i was online, Pow signed into Wk's msn account and tried to scam me into believing i was talking to Wk.... Even though there was Wk's nick, display pic and his characteristic "yo", i just couldnt imagine Wk himself sitting infront of his desktop and chatting with me.... i never for a second believed Pow...
I felt like i was talking to a ghost.... Of couse i know he'll be out in a 2 weeks time... but at that moment he felt so far away......

Even right now, my parents are overseas and its at times like these when i'll be slacking with him till late at some coffee shop or he'll be tonning at my house...

Ok... i really ought to stop here cos really i'm starting to sound damn gay... lol... here i am blogging about how much i miss a guy...hahaha...

To Serve the Government Of the Republic of Singapore

2005-06-10T23:38:00.000+08:00

"Enlistees, tuck in your shirts!", said a soldier the moment we reached the SAF Changi ferry terminal. This was the first sign of freedom lost for Wk.

When we reached pulau tekong bmtc sch 2, Wk was quicky seperated from Azfar and I... We were then ushered to a bus where we had a guided tour though the school our bro would live for the next few months...

Fast forward 2 hrs and we were in an auditorium watching Wk being sworn in... from that moment Wk would be property of the Singapore Government for the next 2 yrs...

Following that, Azfar and I had lunch with Wk at the canteen.. and we also had our last smoke together for the next 2wks... then, Wk sent us to the ferry terminal, where we exchanged some hugs and well-wishes.. soon, we headed our seperate ways...

Recuit Neo Win Keng of Whiskey Company,Platoon 4, Section 4 had just started his journey towards becoming a man; a man of loyalty towards his country, a Son of Singapore.

Azfar's Birthday Bash!!!

2005-06-05T17:18:00.000+08:00

So I've finally recieved the baton from Azfar in the race to the BIG 18... Its my turn to say "just two months more!!"....

But for the moment, we had a hell of a time celebrating Azfar's birthday on friday night... here it goes...

First, Azfar, Pow, Wk, Edric and I went down to FarEast plaza and had dinner at Hans... all of us had our own set meals.. nice and rather affordable too.. After dinner, we had the cake-cutting ceremony and the brothers presented Azfar with his brand-new Piere Cardin wallet...

After that, we went across to Pacific Plaza, where we tired to enter ChinaBlack... however, entry was only allowed via IC and since Pow, Wk and I did not have our ICs, we decided to go right on down to MS...

When we reached MS, Selina and Xin Yue joined us.. after taking some time to decide which club to go, we finally agreed on good old Rush... I considered using my fake ID but decided to use my real student concession card in the end... we went in around 11pm and slacked for a while, waiting for the clock to stike 12...

I'm proud to say i was the first to wish Azfar happy birthday the moment it hit 12... right after the rest of the wishes, Wk and I accompanied Azfar to 7-11 to buy his first legal pack of ciggs and a bottle of Gin... After drinking some Coke and Gin i was ready to hi t the dance floor and I practically danced all the way hardly even taking a rest....

When the Club closed to 3am, we all walked to the OUB coffee shop to drink and slack... Xin Yue had too much to drink in the club and came out kinda wasted... whe we reached the coffee shop, Pow, Wk, Edric and I each ordered our own bottle of heineken... Xin Yue was finally getting sober when she took some of Wk's stout and she quickly got tipsy all over again..
The funniest thing however was that Edric got totallty wasted all of a sudden... and being the devil Wk is, he bought him one more bottle of beer...

Around 5am, we went the open area outside OUB to slack... there, Edric totally make a fool of himself... luckily he vomited just before we took the Mrt and that helped him get sober again.. .
Xin Yue was another case... when we woke her up to take the Mrt, she was still in LaLa land... Being the gentleman he is, Wk sent her home... Pow went home with Selina too..

Only Azfar and I were left when we reached pasir ris... we had a quick breakfast at mac and we went our seperate ways after that.... So that concluded Azfar's Birthday Bash..

2 months, 13 days and counting to MY BIG 18...

My Holiday In a Nutshell

2005-05-23T22:10:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow is the start of a new school year and a new semester... call me a fool but i cant wait for school to start...

Don't get me wrong, i've enjoyed this holiday... but ive just had enough of not being productive....

This holiday started with a bang when my bros and I went for a trip to KL.. we had some serious fun and that was possibly the highlight of the 2 month break... After that, it was all about slacking, gaming, slacking, gaming.... oh yah, and i also pierced my ear when my dad was away in USA for a month... haha..

Finally my bros and i had some fun again last night when we went to town for our last night out this holiday... haha.. we just got real crazy... (details shall not be revealed as it might include evidence that could incriminate us)... in short, we behaved like some crazy young punks... lol...

Well... going into my junior year i really wanna pull up my socks and seriously study hard... after all, ive only got like 3 subjects this sem, and wad good would i be if i cant do well for at least 2 of them...

flee from temptation!!!

2005-05-07T01:27:00.000+08:00

damn it... i've lost money agian cos of gambling at xing yao's chalet ... $160 in total.. i know many people have told me what i could have done with that money instead of gambling it all away... *sigh*..

Well like Pow always says " thats money you'll earn back in good times"... still, i really gotta learn how to control myself and know when to stop...

On another note, was slacking with Pow and Azfar the other day when we started talk about our future... With Azfar out of poly and Wk soon to serve the nation, our paths have further split...

Will we ever be able to achive our dream of living together?

Will we lose contact?

Will be able to see each other get married?

Will we even live that long?

These days slacking sessions just get more emo... lol...

An Incredibly Incredible Miracle

2005-04-23T23:01:00.000+08:00

This really Proves how forgetful I am and how safe Pasir Ris is... read on...

Thursday-
I CYCLED down to meet pow and wk to do for our job interview at an animal shelter... after the interview, we went to slack at Koufu ( a foodcourt) i parked my BIKE against a wall WITHOUT LOCKING IT.... after slacking, wk came my house and we WALKED back... later in the evening we went to azfar's house for an overnight bbq...

Friday-
After staying up one whole night, i went home and slept thoughout the entire day... i woke up in the evening and watched tv... after that went back to sleep for the rest of the night...

Saturday (this morning)-
I went to the gym in the morning with ka ho, after gyming, my mom called to ask me to buy lunch back.... so i took a bus which stopped behind Koufu so i could buy some food...

Here it is.... when i was walking towards Koufu, i noticed a Black BMX Bike... as i walked closer, i felt it really looked like my bike... and as you might have guessed, IT WAS MY BIKE!!! I could hardly believe my eyes... I actually left my bike there for TWO DAYS and TWO NIGHTS, WITHOUT LOCKING IT!!! it was leaning in the exact position i left it and no one even touched it... imagine, there are people who go around cutting locks to steal bikes just like mine, yet mine was left there and no one touched it!!!

lol... i just feel absolutely fortunate...

101 Hours Of Brother Time in KL!! (caution: Long Blog Entry ahead)

2005-04-13T01:47:00.000+08:00

I'm back.... and i had an absolutely great time with my brothers in KL... Firstly i would like to thank my brothers: Azfar, Brand, Pow, Win Keng.. cos without them i would never be able to have such a wonderful experience... 101 hours together... i'm glad we were able to forge this great memory together...

Here are the Pics of our fun-filled trip:
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/powjuntat/slideshow?.dir=/c51d&.src=ph

----------------------------------------

Day 1, Wed (the saga begins)
Wk came to my house in the late afternoon to finalise the fake IDs and i did some final packing for the trip... later, around 6pm we all met at CU for dinner and departed for malaysia at 8pm...

We reached the malaysian checkpoint and took a bus to the JB bus station, Larkin... we reached there around 10pm and immediately, Azfar almost got fooled by some ticketing guy... luckily we managed to get good tickets from Konsortium Express for the 11.30pm bus... so we slacked at Macdonalds, blowing bubble gums waiting for our time to board the bus...

We finally boarded the bus and we left JB for KL around 11.50pm... Since we were taking the night bus, we originally prepared to sleep in the bus, but we all hardly got any shut eye cos we were so excited and i chatted with Azfar almost throughout the entire journey...

Day 2, Thurs (getting warmed up)
We reached the KL Bus station, Pudu Raya, around 3.30am in the morning... so we went to the nearest coffe shop to slack and eat a little breakfast... the funniest thing happened there... WK was moving his chair when the it suddenly slipped and he fell on his ass!!, i laughed at him, but less than 5 mins later the exact same thing happened to me and i fell on my ass too!! haha...

We left the coffee shop around 5am and took a cab (all 5 of us squeazed in) to this hotel the cabbie recommeded. But the hotel wouldnt allow 5 in a room, so we continued to walk down Buit Bintang to look for a suitable hotel... four hotels later, we finally came to Seasons View Hotel... We were allowed to stay 5 in a room, and at a reasonable price, so we took it...

the moment we entered the room, Brand, Pow and Wk quickly striped down and took a bath together... Azfar and i chose to reserve our modesty, but Pow opened the door while Azfar was bathing and there was a big flair up between Wk and Azfar... fortunetely, they both cooled down in time, and after several moshing sessions on the bed, we all managed to fall asleep (at 10am!)..

We woke up in the late afternoon and went for a late lunch at a hainanese chicken rice restaurant and proceeded to Times Square... After Azfar got this hair cut, we went to watch a movie "House of Fury"... a nice show... after that, Wk and Brand also decided to cut their hair, so finally after that we headed for Long john silvers for dinner and headed back to the hotel to rest...

later that night, after playing cards until 3am, Wk, Azfar and i went down for supper... finally after that, we came up and slept for the rest of the night...

Day 3, Fri (Clubing night: Nouvo)
Pow, Brand and I woke up early that morning and went down for our free breakfast, while WK and Azfar continued sleeping... after the breakfast, we came up and joined them and we all slept till around 2pm...

When we woke up we quickly got Azfar's fake ID finallised, and then decided to take a walk to KLCC and the Petronas Twin Towers to slack and get some Pics...

after that we took the LRT back to BB plaza, where Azfar, Brand and I ended up bowling... after that, we headed back to the hotel to freshen up for our clubbing night out!

After Wrestling in the room and playing some guy games (it was pretty rough, WK bust his Lip...), we went just ourside our hotel for a really good supper of WanTon Mee... Right after that, We headed for the clubbing scene, where originally wanted to enter Atmosphere, but ended up going to Nouvo... our fake IDs really well and getting in was a breeze...

Nouvo had two floors: one Trance/Rave music and another playing RnB... Wk and I actually prefered the Rave music but the whole place was practically empty! so we decided to go up to the second floor, where they played the RNB... It generally cool, and i learnt how to dance to RnB... besides that, there were some people break dancing and i also observed some drunk girls dancing... lol....

The Nouvo closed at around 3 and we got a cab after chilling outside the club for a while... the cab stoped near our hotel and we had supper somewhere downstairs... when we finally reached our hotel room, i took a bath and i quickly fell asleep that night (5 am)...

Day 4, Sat (Shopping, Clubbing night: TwelveSL)
Pow woke me up at 11.25am that morning only to tell me we had missed breakfast...haha.. so we all got up and went to BB plaza for Brunch instead... After settling down and having a meal at Macdonalds, we ended up going bowling again...

This was almost immedietely followed by going to the arcade that Brand was looking for... after playing a couple of games and watching Brand play Initail D, we continued shopping... (In total I got 3 new t-shirts and 1 pair of laces from KL)... after the shopping, we headed back for our hotel to prepare for the second clubbing night!!...

After taking showers and freshening up, we when down around 11pm for our last dinner in KL... So we actually wanted to have a good meal in a steak house, but it was expensive, so we took a little cheaper alternative... and we still had a good meal...

After the meal, we quickly took the LRT down to a place called Atmosphere (the place we wanted to go the night before)... outside Club TwelveSL, there was a Lady who was promoting Henessy... So, since it was worth it, we decided to open a bottle in the Club...

The club played great Trance/Rave and had a really good ambience, that really set the mood... Words cannot describe how happy i felt that the moment when we had a toast to us Brothers when we were in the club... After several glasses of Hennessy and coke, and a shot of Tequila Pop, i felt a little tipsy, so we all headed down to the dance floor to dance like crazy to the Trance/Rave music...

We all danced until the Club closed around 3.30am and managed to quickly get a cab back to our hotel... There, we Feasted upon the Beef Bak-Kua we bought earlier that night... damn shiok man..then, we tried to drink this bottle of volka we also bought earlier, but it was so shitty, WK decided to pour it down the toilet... lol.. what a waste right...

WK, Brand and i Spent the rest of the night Playing cards and watching TV in the hotel... we decided not to sleep since it was the last night there... so we played and watched till morning came...

Day 5, Sun (Everything comes to an End)
We tried to wake Azfar up in the morning for our free breakfast, But Azfar continued sleeping no matter how much we tried to wake him up.... so Pow, Brand, WK and I went down for our last breakfast in KL ....

When we Came up... we started to pack up and get ready to check out of the hotel... we managed to wake azfar up in Time, and we checked out of the hotel by 12pm...

After checking out, we split up and took 2 cabs to Pudu Raya Bus Station, where we met at Dunkin Doughnuts... there was a little scare for a moment when whe couldnt get tickets back to Singapore after Checking at two bus counters, considering it was a Sunday... but Luckily we managed to get a 4pm bus back to JB station, Larkin...

Since it was only about 1 pm, we walked to a near-by Kenny Rogers for our Lunch, and the final meal in KL... there, we ate and slacked until around 3pm when we went back to the bus station... After doing some last minute shopping for snacks to bring back for the parents, we went down to the Platform to wait for our Bus...

We Waited For 45 mins and the bus didnt arrive... the bus was running late... and we were all anxious, tired and sleepy... Finally it arrived at 4.35pm... although the bus was not as comfortable as Konsortium Express (which we took to KL), the moment i boarded the bus, sat down and closed my eyes, i straight away knocked out! The next moment when i woke up, we were already reaching JB...

From there, we took bus 170 back to the checkpoint, there we crossed over to Singapore and went to Woodlands interchange, and from there we headed bac to Pasir Ris... Also by bus...
When we reached Pasir Ris, it was around 10pm... We went to West Plaza Kopitiam, where we had our "debriefing" and final slacking...

AT LAST... at 11pm we departed, and headed our own separate ways and all went on back to home......

----------------------------------------

I seriously doubt anybody has actually read every single word here... but i typed it out nonetheless cos i might never have a chance like this again and i might wanna read this again someday...
After all the Atittudes and arguements in the trip, we still forgave each other and we all had a great time... Once i wanna thank my brothers for this wonderful time, and i wanna say that i Love you all... i hope these memories of mine will never fade... i'll cherish them for the rest of my life...

.PS. I also passed all my Subjects so i dun have to take any supp papers!! WOOHOO!!!

To cut a long story short, i was about to go WK's house for the night, but eventually my dad had a change of heart and i was able spend the night in my own home... why do i even bother arguing with my dad when he will have his way no matter what? damn it... now i'm not sure whether i'm going KL with my bros next week or not...

Well... i spent the entire day yesterday gaming and i finally completed FFX... basically didnt get out of the house at all...

.. I can now look forward to 1 month plus worth of slacking, riding, pk-ing, slacking, t-shirt designing, gaming, slacking, clubbing, going to m'sia..... did i mention slacking?... lol..

Well... my holiday kicked off yesterday right after my final paper and Bandon and I went straight to CU and slacked with my bros, Azfar and Pow... I really love slacking man...

Later we went riding in the evening where we finally debuted our first Freewill t-shirt... all of the bros (with the exception of Brandon, who wasnt there) wore the t-shit... it was damn cool man... other than that it was one of the best riding sessions i've had in a long time... really ride quite hard and sweat alot... even improved a little... overall I had a really good time...

So thats that for my first day of my holidays.... cant wait to slack somemore for the rest of the holiday..haha....

Woohoo!! had a great day today... it started when i met Azfar today and came Tp in the afternoon... after lunch we watched Brandon's biketrial demo for the open house and continued to slack until Jam & Hop started...

The Jam & Hop was my highlight of the day... had a great time watching the performances ( My favourite was Dharni's Beatboxing... Damn freaking cool man... plus he knows BOA man.. yeah THAT BOA..)... haha... joined in the moshing during the Turning Point and Pug Jelly performances... took some cool pics with Pug Jelly members... including those not really from the Band.. lol..

Drank lots of Coke ( and throwing the bottles ) man... really had fun tonight..

ROCK ON!!

Damn my forgetfulness...(continued)

2005-02-15T09:32:00.000+08:00

(9.32am)

shit... here i am sitting in the 3rd floor of the school library slacking cos i forgot that all my lectures were cancelled due to the TP open house... came to school at 9am today only to find out i could have come at 11... haiz... forgot to bring out my handphone today too... i think i'm
going home to get it since i still have 1:30hrs to the next class...

Well at least i got to see Pow's Tp advertisement on the way here... cool..

(Continued... 7.18pm)

Retuned to school at 11 and straight away went for my tutorial... it was accounts and i was practically sleeping though it... later the tutor came to me and said to my face "if u dun put in more effort U ARE GOING FAIL THIS SUBJECT !!!"... well kinda already preparing to take supp paper anyway...

Good thing i met Pow and his clique while i was having lunch... i borrowed a calculator from HuiMin cos i forgot there was gonna be a stats test after lunch... the calculator sort of saved my life but what really rescued me from certain failure was this classmate sittin next to my during the paper... haha... i copied... and i passed!! 5/10... and i'm satisfied...

After school met Azfar and Brand for an early dinner and we later went to CU to meet Wk... we talked alot abt driving cos he finally registered at CDC... Cant wait for him to teach me the basics of driving too...

just another V day...

2005-02-14T20:22:00.000+08:00

hey hey... I've been busy recently so I havent been blogging for the past couple of days... many things have happend... lost more money... watched Seoul Raiders... sat on Pow's vomit... did project... But the the highlight of the weekend was finally being able to catch Constantine...

After failing to watch the movie 5 times... catching constantine was a reward... its a damn cool show... kinda twisted.. but i give it a general cool rating 4 out of 5 stars...

Well today is V day and i've spent it like any other day in the year... after school ( which was only 2 hours) i met Band and Afar to slack... haha.. we went to Selina daddy's little bubble tea shop... sat and slacked there for 2 hours and even talked to her daddy abit... lol... when we left, Selina's daddy gave Brand and I two complementry drinks...

Later we met Wk and Slack with him somemore at CU... Edric and Thomas even made a guest apperance at CU today... Wk treated me to a meal and a drink today cos he has won so much money... and do u know how i thanked him? i won some money from him later!!...haha..

Came home when he went to meet Pow.... well thats my V day for u... boring but not so lonely...

Visiting day with my bros...

2005-02-10T23:58:00.000+08:00

Well... kinda having mixed feelings about today... went CNY visiting with my bros today... going to Brandon's house first ( only during CNY is his house so tidy), then my house, then finally Pow's house....

From Pow's house we took a cab down to TM to catch constantine... BUT.. all the showtimes for the movie where fully booked, both at TM and Century... This is the THIRD time i've gone down to the cinema hoping to catch constantine but ending up going away disappointed...

after that we went down to Charles house to gamble... haiz... went home with less weight in my pocket... abt $60 less weight... really should stop gambling... but the greatest loss of the day was not mine... sadly poor Selina lost her handphone... i seriously suspect it may be one of charles friends who stole it... hmm.. hope she can get it back somehow though...

..Well... thats that... Tml will be a better day...

1st day of CNY!!

2005-02-09T21:06:00.000+08:00

Haha... Just the other day Wk, Pow and I were discussing wether ppl usually stay at home or go out visiting on the first day... Well today i stayed at home the entire day while relatives came and visited us... maybe cos my grandfather who is staying at my house is the eldest in the family...

Even at this very moment while i'm sitting in my room blogging, my living room is filled with many voices, all discussing various subjects...

Besides being busy entertaining ppl and, eating and watching two dvds (Pirates of the Caribbean and I, Robot), I still managed to catch a short nap... damn, these few day have so freakin HOT!... was sweating the entire day... I'm going to take my fourth shower today right after blogging...

Well my total collections for today have been ok... i think better than last year... Tml i'm going visiting with my Bros... can't wait.. maybe gamble a little too... k den really gotta shower now.. its like 9pm now and there's still gonna be ppl coming later.. chaoz..

No Constantine again??

2005-02-09T13:43:00.000+08:00

woke up early yesterday morning and went to school as usual... met Pow in the bus on the way to Tp.. wat a coincidence... lol.. we planned to go watch constantine right after school cos of the half day...

Sadly... even after traveling from TM to Century Square and back to TM again, we just couldn't find a time slot for constantine...Damn... i really wanted to catch that movie.. so in the end, we just went to slack a while before heading home...

Oh yah.. i did an EQ test the night before and i found out i have a score of 86... thats below average... haiz.. definately a bad thing..

Well my reunion dinner was same as every year.. kinda boring... hope this new year will be different in a better way...

Happy Birthday Bro!!

2005-02-08T17:26:00.000+08:00

Finally the 1st of our bros,WK has reached the LEGAL age and i'm happy for him man... he celebrated it by having a chalet at costa sands on sunday, inviting all his friends and bros...

I woke up at 8 on sunday morning and went to church... immediately after that i rushed off to meet my bros...first we went to downtown east cheer to buy all the nessesary BBQ stuff.. then we went back to the chalet and slacked with Seilna, her friend and Edric while Pow, Wk and Azfar headed for the pool... when they came back we started the BBQ and soon the people started coming in... we were blasting the techno so loud that Edric said it was like a club when he first came in..haha... even it was still a small gathering we had lots of fun... playing cards, moshing, and playin stupid slapping games... haha.. my cheek bones are aching now.. must have recieved at least 100 slaps...

At midnight we had a toast to WK and he had his first legal cigar... later we started drinking and brandon and his usual scamming crap came out and tried to act like he was drunk... got many ppl pissed with him... but well over all we had a damn fun time...

The next day i skipped school and we went to play pool after we checked out... this time, The Underdogs finally won the Pros 2-1... Yes at last we reigned supreme.. we won the LoveBirds too (Pow and Selina)... after at least 3+ hours of playing pool we finally went home... I immediately dived into my warm bed right after takin my shower...

Finally i wanna thank my Bro, Wk for a damn fun night.. and wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY, the Big 1-8 !!!

Boring Saturday...

2005-02-05T23:39:00.000+08:00

Woke up this morning around 10 and bummed around my home until 1 and decided take a nap...

Woke up around 5 and cleaned my home in preparation of CNY.. supposed to go free running to my bros.. but ended up watching superman on channel 5.. finally went out to slack with them around 9 until i came home... BORING HUH..

well thats my life...

At least theres tml to look forward to cos its finally Wk's Birthday bash!!

Lobsters really DO have pincers !!

2005-02-05T01:08:00.000+08:00

Haha... today went to school as usual.. but only to attend one lecture.. skipped OB tutorial in the afternoon cos i wanted to go play pool with Azfar, Brand and Wk at pavilion... Sadly.. The Underdogs are still cant reign supreme (hey.. we're called that for a reason right)... We lost 5-2.. just not on form today man...

Anyway after that Wk and I wanted to catch Constantine.. But.. its not out yet so we just went to meet Selina... we slacked until Pow came and the both of them left for town... haha.. So what did Wk and i do after that? lol.. we just sat outside spotlight for TWO HOURS and chatted while the the world went by...

Finally, we went to CU to meet Azfar and Helmi for more slacking.. lol.. we were really talking crap when we started to argue whether lobsters have pincers or not.. Helmi and i were convinced they had pincers while WK nicely insisted that lobsters do not... and said he would WACK IS BALLS if he was wrong...

Underdogs Shall Reign Supreme!!! (...soon...)

2005-02-03T23:42:00.000+08:00

Today was just another standard sch day... skipped mbs lecture and went to the student lounge to slack with Pow and his clique... haha.. Pow finally showed us the TP mag he's featured in.. kinda cool.. except the handsome guy he was he was gushing about wasnt as handsome as i expected...

later after sch i met my buds and we went pavillion to play pool!! the first couple of matches were the usual kind, but later we decided to play a team game... Azfar and i formed a team and called ourselves the UnderDogs.. lol..( cos the two of us are weaker players compared to Brandon and WK )... well in the end i would say we put up a very good fight and prevailed to the first 2 out of 5 games... sadly we gave away the rest of the 3 games cos we accidentaly sunk the black ball for all of them.. gald we put in our best efforts to resist the forces of WK and Brandon... haha..

After that.. as usual we went to CU to slack until it was time to head on home... just another day...

Freaking Fucked Up Term Break .

2005-01-28T23:13:00.000+08:00

hello , this is Pow here blogging for him today , why ? this is the reason y :

well today we went back to SIGLAP to see some teacher and had CANTEEN FOOD , then headed to M'sia ,it all started well shopping and slacking .. met this stupid artist who wanted to drew us and wanted to con us and all , thought it was 10 rm for the whole pic but it was 10 for per head and we had 7 ppl . So , helmi argued with him and asked him to Fuck off .. not that part that caleb was piss about , here comes , we headed back to S'pore and helmi had to go home to pack some stuff to stay overnight at azfar's hse so we decided to play pool while waiting .. had fun and all and when we wanted to make payment , caleb notice that his wallet was gone ! after all the digging and search , we still couldn't find his wallet , so he track back where he last saw his wallet and it was during when he board the bus back to SG .. totally devasted .. went down to the bus interchange to ask if any one reported a lost wallet , no hope .. so he have to choice but to declare it LOST-left it on the bus .

this is really a sucky term break for him , a totally fuked up one . it all started off with her grandma passing away , then comes stupid bitches in his project grp that doesn't wanna do a fuk .. and next comes this , what was worst is that he lost 3 ce la vie tickets to tml concert .. 45 bucks gone .his , sen kee's and leon's .. totally "sadded" or in his words " sian whole ". bro , totally feel for you .. the artist crap already spoilt my day . what more worst yours .. i'm really sorry for you but luck isn't on your side ? like WK say :" luck is busy , isn't with you today" .. ppl , word of advise , NEVER LEAVE YOUR WALLET AROUND ! STICK IT TO YOUR ASS !

that's abt all bro . hope you'll come to ce la vie , bro night yo ...

Pow

Crappy project day....

2005-01-28T01:46:00.000+08:00

Had to go to sch today to do my mbs group project... and i'm in possibly the worst group i have ever been in for a project... really cannot stand two of my group members... act so good in class in front of teacher but so couldnt be bothered when it comes to project... we were supposed to create a database using microsoft access and one of the girl's job was to enter the tables... they did such a bloody lousy job that my friend (Hafiz) and i had to correct all the errors, and when they encountered a problem all they knew how to do was to sit there and whine.... they also had the cheek to be bossing Hafiz and i around when we were covering their lousy asses all the way... the worst part was that they just left without saying anything when Hafiz and i went to take a break... fuck..

Well at least the rest of the day was ok cos i got to spend my time slackin with my bros at coffee bean... tml we are going for a walk down memory lane at Siglap Sec and den procede to Malaysia!!!.... cant wait..

Normal Slacking Day With My Bros!!

2005-01-27T12:53:00.000+08:00

Woke up early this morning to pass my guitar strap to Pow early this morning cos i forgot to give it to him together with the guitar.... by the way he will be in the tp open house commercial to be shown in cinemas and on tv mobile ( my guitar too !! wait and see !!)... so proud of my bro.. on his way to fame and fortune...lolz..

After passing him the strap i headed to Wk's house to slack a while before i go play pool with azfar.... we played and slacked until Pow and Selina came to meet us at coffee bean... haha.. i'm always happy to see the love birds (pow and seli) happily together...

Very happy things have finally settled down and life is becoming normal again... anyway.. the term break is gonna be over soon and i have to go back school for project tml.. so i better go rest up now.. signing out..

Final Day....

2005-01-26T17:22:00.000+08:00

Today was the day the wake finally ended and my grandma's body was sent to be cremated... thoughout the past couple of days i never cried once... but today, while we were walking behind the van which carried her coffin with the song "amazing grace" playing in the background, out of my eye flowed a single teardrop and i couldnt help feeling i would miss her somehow or another....

After the cremation, i came home and went out to slack with my buds at coffee bean... at last a normal activity ( Damn funny to see WK limping like a disabled bugger...view his blog for details) ... however... my life is still far from getting back to normal... my grandpa is living in my home temporarily until my aunt has prepared a room for him in her house... i'm currently sleeping in my living room as my grandpa has taken over my room... sian...

Finally i would really like to thank all those who have given me support and showed their concern over the past couple days... Thank You...

...Life goes on......

Final Wake Night...

2005-01-25T19:27:00.000+08:00

Well... here i am once again.. just came back from 7-11, eating cup noodles in front of the lappy in this multi-purpose hall, listening to some techno, doing my father's duty of guarding the coffin while he's sleeping.... and blogging at the same time....

I was allowed to go home and sleep on sunday night because i had an econs paper on monday morning... After the paper, before i returned to the wake, i was surprised when Han Bin (David) gave me his condolences, I'm glad that he has put the Ivanna thing behind us ( I will not go into details) , well... the better man won, all is fair in love and war right? We have been friends since sec one and i dun wanna ruin anything....

Anyway... i think i have shaken the most hands in a row in my life during service today... being the eldest grandson and the only one carrying the family name, everyone wanted to talk to me and ask how i was.... Damn, super tired/bored now man... The cremation is tml.. really looking forward to resuming my normal life and hanging out with my buds again...

Wake Night One...

2005-01-23T18:48:00.000+08:00

Damn tired/bored man.... now its like middle of the night and i'm sittin in a multi purpose hall with no one around me except my late grandma's body in front of me and my sleeping daddy behind me... its so quiet... good thing i brought this lappy along... now feeling not so sad le... more of a sense of loss..

Jus now there was a short service and when we were walkin around the coffin i took one last look of her... she looked so peaceful.. almost like she is sleeping with makeup on... well.. shes in a better place.. with God...

This is just the first of three nights man... the funeral is on tuesday afternoon.. hope i can have a good rest before my econs paper on monday morning...

Sad Day.....

2005-01-23T10:23:00.000+08:00

Haizz... dunno how to feel now man.. sad.. but cant get my tears out.. was slacking with azfar at CU around 5.45 when i got the call... my grandmother (father's side) had just passed away...... I had been mentally prepared for some time already cos she had been in and out of hospital due to cancer..

she just returned from hospital today and went to visit her in the afternoon... she was sleeping so i didnt wake her up to talk to her... i dun even know what were the last words she said to me..... haiz... i've never been close to her and only visited her once every two months or so... but still i feel kinda sad... she is my first close relative to pass away... dunno ah.. always wondered how i would react... well thats life isnt it? This sorta makes me wanna cherish my last grandmother left... the one staying with me and has been takin care of me since young.. i dunno how i'm gonna feel should she pass away too.. we jus gotta cherish the life around us more, not takin it for granted...

haiz... i might have to go to her house later, i didnt go earlier cos i didnt wanna see her lifeless body.... oh well just see how the next few days goes...

My First Entry !

2005-01-22T09:30:00.000+08:00

First of all I really REALLY must thank my bro Pow (Zac) for staying up last night and spending 5 plus hours making my blog... owe it all to u man.. hope Selina wont get too angry...!

Well.. one of the main reasons for starting my own blog is possibly because i've finally got bitten by the blogging bug. Man... all my bros and friends have blogs... so its time i got one too.. maybe also cos im seriously too bored with my freakin life..

In this First entry im gonna talk abt my best buds: my bros. They are the some of the closest group of people in my life right now and sometimes i feel that without them, i would be a pathetic loner... first i'm gonna talk abt the bro who made this blog possible, Pow... aka the "Leader" in our group, he say go means go, slack means slack... the coolest, most image conscious, most popular among us, and now also the most hardworking... I always seem to feel more impulsive around him and doing things suddenly that i dun normally do around him..haha..Hes one soft hearted and great person to slack with, do stupid things with, talk to and emo with, really caring and understanding.. a great buddy... but sadly he is suffering from permature aging ( memory deficency, always tired, wanna puke).. take care bro..

Next brother is Wk, aka the "monkey" and hyperactive child in our group and also my gayzing parter..ahaha.. always acting gayz with him (ACTING) and doing stupid, cazy or evil things with him... haha... together can do some serious slacking at some coffeeshop or house.. another good person to emo with and let go of bottled up feelings... haha.. this guy has great potential as a freerunner and has not yet fail to climb up anything. Recently he has PHD (poly halfway dropout) and is going to NS real soon.. Even though we have taken different paths we are still heading in the same direction....

Next up is Azfar, aka brown balls or brown chinese... hes a real good listener and a confidante... haha.. hes one of my close bros but i seem to always be having minor squabbles and struggles with him.. and i like it ! haha.... slapping each other like in a cat fight.. lol!! he almost never fails to make me laugh with his stupid and silly actions... always having the telepathic connection with him at the right time... and its like all we need is eye contact to know what each other is thinkin... haha.. always chilling and talkin crap with him... this brother seriously almost never fails to amuse me...hahaha...

Finally is Brandon Bro... This guy is a very good friend willing to sacrifice his time and slack with me and also very generous... quite a joker and fun person to be with.. a very good friend indeed....BUT I have to say that TRUST is the basic foundation of any relationship or friendship and Brandon's main problem is that he is a scammer who has let us down time and again... Brand.. this is NOT a scolding, u have already put in effort to change alot of ur bad habits but still..... Trust Is Hard To Gain, But Easy To Lose...

To all my Bros... hope we will continue to stick together and make this brother bond last... love ya all.. Take care... !!
