A little update..

1..2..3..4..5..6..7...8...9 days

Finally got to come update my blog. The last few days was a routine of work + sch stuff then go to bed... then wake up early in the morn to catch a bus to the faraway land of pasir panjang...

But thankfully thats all over now.. no more work.. meaningless data entry and listening to instructions and nodding my head non stop and typing away at the keyboard.. haiz.. boring. Not to mention it made me feel like I was really dumb.

Never ever going to take up another admin job.. sick and tired of it.. underpaid and overworked. Especially the underpaid part. I need something more challenging. Dun mind more stressful .. just no more monotony!

I need MEANING in the things I do. Argh... I think doing stuff for the orientation is more fun.. coz more often I am like my own boss. I make some of my own decisions and not just listen to instructions!

Hopefully now its all over.. and I only have to look forward to the camp and meeting new people. HAhah..

I had to go meet CJ to settle some mailer stuff at JP on Thurs... at first I only thought he is is crappy friendly nice guy.. but after that night.. I think he has planned so many things for his future and his girlfriend. I was pretty in awe. Haven met such a level-headed and also knowledgeable guy in NTU before him, other than those who tries to act level-headed that's all. Kudos to him!...

Haiz.. so sian... been eating a lot and sleeping a lot these days... piggy life.. but it feels gd.. hehehe..

And my dear friend Yik has finally reappeared.. I seriously thought something happened to you.. bleh.. so naughty...

God blessed the broken road

God Blessed the Broken Road...

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

Phone

I find myself lusting after a phone.

Talking to Az just made it worse.

My "lust" has just gone into an overdrive.

And my pocket shall see "light", through a burnt hole that is, and a huge one too.



A beauty isn't it.

mp3 + digicam (though compromised performance) + phone.




good enuff eh?

Too good already in fact.

Haiz... poor pocket.

Sleepover

I didn't know I could accomplish so many things in that few hours. After work I had to go meet this tee shirt lady whose going to print the camp tee for us.

After work was already 6pm. Have to rush to JE from Pasir Panjang to meet the Biz mag, Ivan to get the tee design at 7pm.

Met lady at 730 at IMM Macdonalds.
Reached home at 9.

Saw 3 missed calls from Irene. Called back. Asked me to go her house and stay over since her whole family was out at a chalet.

Left house at 930pm.

Arrive at her place at 1030.

Then came....



small pooh....

Then big pooh.....


crushed by us...

heheh...

My Darlings..

Clearing the pics in my phone.. so i shall just post them here. They are so super cute rite.. hehe.. my darlings..

Back to work

Hmmz... nuthing much happened these couple of days except fufiling duties. Haiz.

Trying hard to paint my nails nicely. But after 3 -4 times still cannot make it. Need seek professional help!

Tmr I'll be going back to work. Feels rather weird. Think I forgot most of the things I was taught and need to be taught again. And the early hours...

Oh.. somewhat I feel like re-assessing some of the relationships I have now. Some what I feel hurt. But it wasn't as bad as when it happened for the first time. I anticipated it in a way. I would say I have no hidden agenda watever so. I was just sharing about things I am puzzled with, thinking if you could give me an answer. Daggers flying all around me.

Life is no popularity contest. Don't make urself miserable.

Back from that 3 days camp. Think I got darker despite the spf 130 sunblock I used. Very tiring but extremely fun... hate for it to end especially from the second day onwards. Really looking forward to the camp in July... with the freshmen of 2005 ... torture time... *evil grin*

Imperfections hard to see from the outside looking in.

Still have this garang guni canvassing thingy this sun to get money for the camp.. you noe.. more petty cash to buy things if anything.. not that we are short of money.. hehe..

Watched Mr. & Mrs. Smith the other day right before the camp with Arif. Wasn't as bad as the ratings seemed. It is a story about the male-female domestic tensions and fights blown out of proportions. The use of all those firearms and kungfu made the show rather hilarious. Imagine if I could do that to my other half someday. Hoho~ that will be interesting...

Someone watch Downfall with me leh.. Not many people interested in such history films these days. I feel such films deserves more credit than those mainstream Hollywood films.

Crash and burn.

Hehe. Sometimes I feel I need to start a private blog. So I can really say what I wanna say and no one will read it but myself..but then again that defeats the purpose of blogging eh? Hmmmz... I just can't go around saying things without a care. I'll be trying to put a price on my own head.

Need more sleep even though I just woke from a 5hr nap.

Tataz.

Camp

Ahh.. Hi guys.. its 6 am in the morn and I am still wide awake as usual.. hehe.. at my sch camp.. a minor one.. mainly to test out the programs for the actual camp itself.. damn shagged.. debriefing was until 2 am and damn... I didn't noe I had to go for it until my partner called me. I was happily chatting away and eagerly waiting for supper...Phew.. sianz.. Then we went out for supper on a lorry .. hoho~... extremely hungry by then (4 am).Reckoned we didn't have to slp when we go back to sch and that supper was actually breakfast.

Die.. I think later during the telematches I will be like a walking corpse. But there are pool activities in the noon.. maybe that will keep me awake. hehe. I like swimming.. plus now I have frens to get into the water with me. hehe. Either that or I will be floating on the water like a dead fish.

Well, first day of the camp was so-so only.. basically because the programmers were acting rather stuckup and in an authoritative manner. Dunno why they want to behave this way with the seniors.. but with the people around it was still pretty fun.

Got to gather later at 730 to have breakfast.. phew.. cant imagine the rest of the day with the state I'm in... thinking of azri in aus now ... wow.. i wonder when i'll get to go there.. wow.. envious..

Hmm.. camp.. not surprising I will see that person around.. I admit I am rather mean doing wat I did.. Not talking and stuff.. and open and blatantly professing my hatred to the whole world. Aaron said to me.. sometimes distance its a good thing.. keeps u away from certain conflicts.. ya.. it true.. to a certain extent.. so maybe I need time and distance to make me not hate. Wow... I am vague.. not.

Just hope all these shitty things will be over and also for everybody else.. prayers man.

Benny Goodyman

Yeah!!! Finally got the music thingy working. A bit of intro as to the title and stuff.

"Seven come eleven" is a piece performed by Mr. Benny Goodman on the clarinet of coz (my idol!!) and fellow bandmates, Lionel Hampton(vibraphone), Mel Powell (piano), George Duviver (brass) and finally Bobby Donaldson(drums). Recorded in NYC on December 14, 1955.

Its a jolly tune. The intro starts off in a way like it crawls in onto you. The feeling like you were walking along the street and you suddenly start hearing someone playing some music. As you try to determine where that music is coming from, you get closer and starts to hear the different instuments in the ensemble.

Of coz there are other great pieces like Down South Camp Meetin', Sing,Sing,Sing, Don't be that way etc etc. Go listen to them too.

Thanks to my dear friend Irene who gave me this cd.. even though I had another one prior to that, but this piece wasn't in there.

The cd title is "The Benny Goodman Story", produced by The Blue Note Collection.

So just sit back and enjoy!

Hate

Arrrggh...

I can't get my music files to play!

Having dreams that I dun like at all. I just hope they wont be in anyway close to reality.

Found that I have so many reasons to not hate someone openly. Unlike in the past I could "hate them freely". No obligations, responsibility, shame, reason.... blah....

And most tragically, I cannot let it be known to that person.. due to the multitude of reasons... is this what acting adult is? I am not. I rather be a kid and hate the things I hate.

This is my childish blog so am I entitled to say?....

I REALLY HATE YOU!! YOU DISGUST ME!!BIG TIME!!!!

Because of my miserable social life in my faculty. Not much of a choice have I?

I think one day I might just go up to that person and scream that dumb head off.

Yeah! Finally I can go see Tiara and Yoda~! Ahaahah.. the only consolation for my boring and sick week. Sick: when you have seen something disgusting too many a times!

Just watched Star Wars yesterday. Found that the plot was really dumb. That dummy Anakin. I wanted to strangle him so many times throughout the show!..

"..puny brain he has.."

and the black helm was so cuu koo~ .. hehe... the ultimate corn + cheese moment when they put on that helm. wahah..

Watched Monster-In-Law too.. a few days back.. the humor was there but J.Lo cant do her act cute stuff.. Somehow the wit just died when her face pops onto the screen. And the cutie doctor was so cute. Why did they pair that o-ba-san with him?? bleh...

Waiting for Initial-D to come out.. and also War of the Worlds!

And and... I am enjoying this tin of Chocolate milkshake (u mix the powder with cold milk and ...tadah!!) with really cute pics of mOo moO cows! my "Mommy" bought for me! Delicious! But sorry guys.. u cant get it in Singapore.. hehe..

Cats and Tanjong Pagar

Hello hello. Dun worry you are at the right place.

Call me bored.

I am doing nothing at home these days. But I haven done loads of things yet. Like do something about the FOC thingy, upload photos, write notes for my dad for his exams, and the list goes on.

I think people who lives or works in Tanjong Pagar area have no love for cats. Me and Lee was walking to Tanjong Pagar station one night ard 11pm and we spotted two strays right before we entered the station. Well the two of us got so excited over them that we decided to find the nearest 7-11 to get some food for them. The nearest one was about 150 metres away. Sadly, we couldn't find anything edible for the cats, so we had to settle for some hotdogs. I haven mentioned what we saw on the way there. In the area we spotted another 5 - 6 strays. One had the tip of its tail torn off. You could see the bone still there but no skin and flesh except some red remains. They were really really afraid of us at first. Probably because there were not welcomed by the people in that area. Then 10 minutes later another 5 appeared, including two kittens. One was lying on the road lifeless. The both of us almost cried. We didn't even dare to look at it from across the road.

We fed those hungry cats and when we were almost done, we looked across the street again, now without the initial shock we had.

Once I saw a dead cat near where I work in Pasir Panjang. That time, I thought to myself if I would have the courage to touch it or bury or dispose of the body rather than let it rot by the roadside. Because that time I didn't do it, the next time I see the same thing I will want to do that.

And yupz.. the "next time" came. It took me a while to decide I wanted to do it. And I saw that of the 10 cats that were in the area, one or two kept going to the body sniffing it, while the rest were looking on from a distance. I thought it would be good to move it somewhere else than in the middle of the road. In case the other cats get hit too. Went to get some newspapers from 7-11 because I didn't quite dare to touch the body directly. I wasn't that prepared yet.

I found that the body wasn't stiff and the blood that it has splattered out of its mouth weren't that dry yet. I figured it got hit not long ago. And I noticed the cat was missing a limb, Lee suggest it got hit coz it couldn't get away fast enough. Guessed it must have been injured before. Lee couldn't bear to see me move it. And all the cats were looking at me from across the street. My hands were shaking a little. I moved it to the pavement by the bushes and half-covered it with the remaining newspapers. Didn't know where was the best place to place it. Hopefully the cleaner in that area dispose of it properly when day breaks.

Animal Planet had this message on tv, "...We are the only ones with the power to protect all other living creatures on this planet..."

this is only part of it. But already this means so much.

I guess this was a once in a lifetime experience for me. I don't think I will ever forget it.

Reminder to everyone out there... please be kind to all animals. Animal lover or not.
