Another Day, Another Hope

Holy COW, I haven't blogged in a REALLY long time. I guess that after the exams last year, I kinda lost the spirit to blog. Maybe I can start again, maybe sporadically. I hope I don't stop blogging permanently though, that'd be kinda sad.

I'm in RJ now, and absolutely loving life=D My classmates are ALL AWESOME, I actually enjoy my subjects, and even though I didn't get into the CCA I wanted, I'm still in Raffles Press, which is like a editorial kinda thingy where we get to write (sometimes contraversial=D) articles for and about the school. I'm really looking forward to itX3

Well, dunno what else to say, its the march hols and everything can only go up from here:3

Keep your eyes on the sky and Jesus, guys, and we'll make this a year to remember yet;3

P.S. On a separate note, I'm going to a recording studio with my friend this week... Here's praying and hoping that something good comes out of it!:D

P.P.S. Nope, I'm not going to tell ya'll what it is that I'm doingXP....yet, hopefully.

Heya people, guess who decided to do a new post(finally!)?=D

Well not much has been happening, just that the Chinese Prelims are coming up this Friday and I know that God will help me through to pass and score better than I can ever imagine=)

My ankle is feeling MUCH MUCH better yays!!!!X3 haha I can run abit now and jump, although it'll be about another month plus before it completely stops hurting though=P. But hey, through God's healing, I'll be perfectly fine soon and stronger than ever:D

And I started doing ninjutsu with Ti and Terry last week. My first lesson was kinda rushed, but it doesn't matter cos its freaking awesome=3 I'm gonna catch up soon just wait and see.

Oh and lastly, I'm contemplating on using Picasa to upload photos here( My bro and I just found out about it, and we think it's AWESOME^_^ thank you Picasa!) because I'm too damn lazy to upload them one by one, and it would give me a quick+convenient way of updating my blog through photos(so all you stalkers out there can see my lifeXP) without typing and editing and arranging and stuff.

So yeah, that's all for now. See ya around!(after the prelims!)X3

2010-06-17T11:20:00.003+08:00

Wow I haven't blogged in a long time....guess I lost the mood to blogXP

Its the hols now, and I haven't really done any substantial work but, yeah. I can manage. I'll make it through. I've been doing that for the past 3 years in this dysfunctional school, so how bad can it be?=)

My ankle feels much better, albeit still stiff. I thank God for healing my ankle so quickly and I know that He will help me be able to parkour again really soon^_^ Just have to go physio a few more times...

That's all for now...nothing interesting happening except that I am LOVING my life without swimmingXD I feel so free for the first time in 6 years. The amount of free time I have is amazing. I'm Lovin It.X3

2010-04-22T14:54:00.003+08:00

Okay, so I sprained my ankle on Monday. Yup, just the day before my competition starts and I sprain my freaking ankle. At first I was panicking and all, but then I had this wierd epiphany and realised that I DON'T GIVE A D@MN ABOUT SWIMMING anymore. That's right, in my mind my swimming career is as good as finished already. Now I just have to wait till next wednesday when our Interschools actually finish, then I can get on with my life. And boy, will I be happy.

Once we stop swimming, I can finally practise parkour whenever and wherever I want to, I can start going for the ninjutsu classes with my bro and Terry, and I can actually focus(yeah rightXP) on my studies more. But not to say that I will totally never ever touch water again for the rest of my life, I will still train with ACE(our school's swim club) about 2-3 times a week; if not to keep fit, then only to see him... But like I won't get fit doing parkour and ninjutsu anyways=)

And I plan to work out at the school gym after school about 3 times a week, to get more strength and core power especially for parkour. And also, when I told my friends that I would still continue swimming leisurely after school, some of them actually wanted to join me!XD How cool is that??!!! They actually wanna join me to swim after school for fun! SO AWESOME:D and what's more one of my classmates who was a ex-swimmer(he's in chinese orchestra now) wanted to take up swimming again and asked me to write a training set for him!!!^_^ I felt so honoured and embarassed but yeah I tried my best to write a proper set for him. Hope he finds it okay O.o

So yeah, my life is gonna be REALLY happy after we stop swimming. I will definitely have no regrets about leaving swimming(except for the friends we'll leave behind, but we can always keep in touch*sniff*X3) and most importantly I will be doing WHAT I MYSELF want to do. NOBODY can stop me from doing parkour, and I now know that parkour IS what I wanna learn to do(along with ninjutsu, hopefully).

So, SAYONARA swimming(wow alliterationXD) and HELLO brand new life=) I seriously can't wait. Now I just need my ankle to heal, and I'll be up and running again(literally) in no time. Eeep I wanna practise parkour so badlyX3 Frontflips, backflips, wall runs, vaults.... The world is wide open for me=D.

P.S. The week before I sprained my ankle, I was practising rolls in the school hall with Terry. We tried jumping off the stage and rolling, and it didn't hurt at all! FINALLY!!!!!!!XD Admittedly the stage was only about 1.3m high, but still=) We're making progress!!!!!!! Soon we'll be able to jump from like, 1 storey up. Haha just kidding, we still suck and we're nowhere near that level yet but soon....practise makes perfect, and once I quit swimming I'll have soo much time... I promise, I AM gonna learn how to parkour decently.

2010-04-16T15:28:00.002+08:00

Okay, so last Wednesday(7th April) when I was warming up during training, I suddenly thought of Toothless and Hiccup. And I had Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus as well as Oh Star by PARAMORE playing in my head. And I actually CRIED when I was swimming halfway. Like, in the water. Still moving and kicking and pulling and everything. And when I reached the end of the pool I had to duck my head underwater so nobody could see me crying. I must have looked a sight, eyes and nose red, swimming and half-sobbing at the same time. I continued crying for about another 8 laps or so, cos the songs just kept playing over and over again in my head and I was so touched and I guess I just felt for them, you know?(so now you guys know my prefered pairingsXP so sue me.) In the end I had to take off my goggles cos my tears were pooling inside them and making me go blind and I forced myself to stop crying before the set ended.

And the next day, I thought of Ronan Keating's When You Say Nothing At All and I teared.

And the next day, I thought of Two is Better than One by Boys Like Girls+Taylor Swift and I cried a bit again.

And a few days later I thought of Chances by Five for Fighting and I cried again.

And I also thought of Hallelujah by PARAMORE and I cried myself to sleep.

And I also thought of Light Up The Sky by Yellowcard and I became emo for a bit.

And last night I was listening to Vanilla Twilight by Owl City and I teared again.

Note that during all the above I was thinking of Hiccup and Toothless. Not just some random emo outburst.

So I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I really really really adore the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless. More than words can say. And I actually want that kinda relationship too...but I guess it's probably never gonna happen. Not in this life, at least.

So, yeah. Sorry if I seem a bit emo in this post, but I just needed to say how I feel. It's so hard when you can't tell anybody...

2010-04-16T15:18:00.003+08:00

Recently, the India students came over for about 2 weeks and today is their last day in Singapore(to be more accurately, in school). Boy will I be glad to see them go. Seriously, I thought that coming from India and all they'd be more streetwise and alert than us, but NO. They fool around, lose their stuff easily, and get LOST when we bring them to East Coast Park. Urgh, I know I sound so un - ambassador like, but I seriously don't think I could have taken it for much longer. I'm glad they're going, and hope that the next time I have to play ambassador to anybody won't be too soon.

The only upside of the outing we had on Saturday with them was the fact that my bro and I got to hang out with our friends, and that I got to watch HYYTD again for the second time=) Now I only need to watch it another 3 times to feel satisfiedXD TOOTHLESS!!!!!*squeal*

On further hindsight, I realised that if we didn't have to take care of the Indian students, the outing would have been an awesome one. With only our friends and all. Ah well, when all's said and done, at least I got to see Toothless again=)

And now I am going to make another post gushing about HTTYD. Because I feel that it deserves a post of it's own, and I don't want it sharing the same post as the Indian studentsXP

2010-04-01T14:40:00.002+08:00

Just watched How To Train Your Dragon with Terry and Bumsoo at J8. The movie is so cute!!!

Or more accurately, Toothless is SOOO CUTE!!!!!!! OMG KAWAIII!!!!!!!=3 His big eyes look so sweet omgawsh hahaXD Makes me wish I had a dragon as a pet as well;D A Night Fury yeah that would be AWESOME.

It's nice to see more movies about dragons being made nowadays=) Go Dragons!!!!!!!X3

I liked Astrid's hair in the movie, Hiccup's hair was quite cool as well. Good ending, good plot, amazing graphics, overall a great movie to watch(especially for dragon fans like me!)

Can't wait for the second(and subsequent) movies to come out;3

2010-02-05T21:59:00.003+08:00

Just went for one of the most awesome English Teas I have ever had=) On thursday after school our lit class went with Mrs Smith to a English Cafe around Holland Village called "Fosters, The English Rose Cafe" and it was super funXD I even got to ride in Mrs Smith's car to the place and I kept camwhoring with my frens and took lots of photos. You can see them on facebook if you want, I was using my fren dillon's camera so he posted the photos on facebook. And Mrs Smith even suggested that we go to New Zealand at the end of the year as a Lit class together, so I'm hoping it can come true:D

oh and I tried parkour-ing around my estate yesterday afternoon, and it wasn't all that bad, but I think that if my skill level were higher it would be so much more fun=D plus all the people staring at me make me feel really uncomfortable. I also tried jumping off a 2-metre plus high wall for the first time; probably the highest I've ever dared to jump off from. I stood at the edge for like, nearly a minute trying to calm myself down and tell my body that it would be okay. In the end I jumped and didn't hurt myself, but the balls of my feet had this really pain sensation for a whileX( Either I'm still not landing porperly or my body isn't accustomed to the strains of doing parkour yet. Either way, I REALLY need to learn how to do a proper roll soon, especially if I'm gonna continue this kind of stuff and want to take it to a higher level.

2010-01-28T20:05:00.001+08:00

Heya people, i know i haven't posted in a long time but I just can't get in the mood to blog recently=(

Hopefully this doesn't continue; I don't want my blog to die outX(

2010-01-12T20:47:00.002+08:00

Heya guys, sorry for not posting for a while but I've had a pretty crazy first week of school, what with the Sec 1 orientation camp and all. So for those of you who don't know, I'm a PSL(Peer Support Leader) in RI and my job is to take care of the sec 1s for the entire first term and act as their buddies/mentors/big brother etc. And from Mon to Fri last week we had this whole orientation thing planned out for them, what with First Day of School on Monday to Orientation Camp from Tue to Thurs and the Junior Rafflesian Investiture Ceremony(JRIC) on Friday. It was really insane at times(sleeping 4 hrs a day during the camp frm 2-6am; showering at 1.30am once a day), and I felt sooo tired and cynical A LOT of times, but we made it through, and I feel a sense of accomplishment.

On a side note, the camp was so awesome!!! I loved Fright Night(hehe obviously, since I was the one scaring them) and Armaggedon and the War Games and the Water Games the most. It feels so good to be the one shouting the orders for once=D Thank you so much Sec 1s, for an awesome start to the year! I hope you guys enjoyed the camp as much as we guys did!;D

All the PSLs generally agree that the apathy and cynicism that we had growing inside of us since sec 2 was cut down by quite a bit(but not all of it!!!) and I feel a bit sad at how fast time flies. Looking back I can still remember MY own orientation camp and at the time we were so helpless and clueless(kinda like the sec 1s this yearXD), and now we are the ones leading them and we have to grow up just that bit more for them and for ourselves(even though I'm happy I got my first taste of authority, I didn't like it that much. I think its overrated).
Okay enough emoness.

Ugh I don't know why, but I can't seem to get in the mood for studying!!?? It still feels like the holidays to me, and I know that school has just started and all but maybe that's the reason whyXD Because my entire first week of school was spent taking care of the sec 1s, technically yesterday was my first day of proper school. AHHH I really pray that I am able to get into the studying mood quickly - I NEED to FOCUS this year.

And if you guys look at my last few blog posts(I did) you would realise that I was going through this wierdly EMO phase during the later part of the hols(like December). I don't know why I had it, but I think that I'm slowly getting over it now=) Going back to school and hanging out with my crazy and super-fun friends probably has something to do with it, but I think that watching Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 also had something to do with it. We watched it on Sunday afternoon, and I really have no idea why but when I was watching it something inside me just went click, and after the movie I realised tht the world didn't look so grey and bleak anymore=) I am smiling more and more now, and laughing more too:D I don't know why; maybe its the sheer retardedness of the movie or the cuteness of it, I dunno. But somehow, AATC2 has cured my emo problem, so as crazy as this seems, THANK YOU, AATC2, for doing just that. I'm becoming my old, happy self again and boy does it feel great. I'm even willing to forgive their desecration of many good songs, although if they dare to Alvinise any of Lady Gaga's songs I wil personally go down to Hollywood and kick ther furry butts. So once again, thanks Alvin and the Chipmunks 2=D.

Well, that's all for now folks, I need to sleep soon. Bye for now, and hopefully I will have something else to blog about soon!XD

2010-01-01T00:12:00.002+08:00

And guess what people! It's 2010!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!!! And its the first blog post of this year! YAYYYY!!!!!!! Haha I sound so hyper, and I just finished a blog post just now too(look at the timestamps) but who cares?! It's a NEW YEAR!!!!!!! A year of New Possiblities! New Hopes! New Dreams! And O-Levels?!

Er the last blog post(ie, the one I just did like 20 mins ago) was kinda rushed, cos I was trying to do it and get downstairs to the TV to watch the New Year countdown. And there were like 10 mins plus of non-stop fireworks, so it was quite okay=)

But I really didn't make any New Year's resolutions, because I think that I won't do them(or most of them)anyway, and I know I'll feel like crap if I look back at the end of the year and see how much stuff I DIDN'T accomplish.

Well, I'm off to bed now, got some lovely training in about 5hrs time! See ya'll!!!!!XD Love the New Year!!!!!

2009-12-31T23:30:00.002+08:00

Heya everyone!!! We're back from our UK trip and boy was it awesome=) There were so many amazing sights and sounds(and tastes; those Brits seriously know how to work their dough) but what I really enjoyed most was the English countryside. The scenery was sooo amazing, and it felt so peaceful just looking out the window and watching the snow-covered fields pass by.... And the castles are FRGGIN COOL. We went to a few commercialised castles, and there was this really old castle called Kenilworth Castle and it looked just like those ruins you see in the history textbooks; OMG i wanted to explore it SOOO badly but it was closed at the time, and my parents wouldn't let me climb over the gate=( So in short: London is GREAT for shopping for clothes, the England countryside is the BEST part of the UK, and Paris is really not as wonderful/romantic as all those movies make it out to be.

I can't really explain every single detail of our trip, but you can see it in stop motion by the 1000+ photos we took! I kid you not, the total pics by the end of the trip was at least over a thousand=D The pics taken with the Canon camera(i.e., the higher def ones) were mostly shot by me, and the pics taken by the Sony camera were taken(i think) entirely by my brother. I am not going to bother posting all of them on Facebook - my bro is going to do that;D I'm just keeping the poser profile pics that I took for myself to use. You may see that most of them are taken with my hood down in a familiar pose; this is because I am TOTALLY OBSSESSED with Assasin's Creed now. Oh and i think one of the happiest moments in the trip was when we went to a game shop and I got my ASSASSIN'S CREED DIRECTOR'S CUT EDITION FOR COMP BABY!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!! and I heard that it's been discontinued already, so YEAH. I seriously thank god that I was able to find this one; I was squealing and jumping around the shop when I found it on offerXD.

So we arrived back in Singapore on monday afternoon, and the next day I had to take my chinese re-test with a 8 hour jet-lag. It was not nice. But I'm just going to commit the test into God's hands, and he will do the rest=). Oh, and we also swam a 11km set the next day during training. Fun eh? And I've been sleeping less than 5 hours for the past few nights thanks to the jet lag. Ah well, its a new year so who cares??!!! But it feels so good to get back into the normal routine of life; I think that I've been overseas too long this hol and missed out on too much stuff back home(my bro and I clocked almost a month in overseas time this hol, so yeah) so I won't feel like going anywhere for a while now.

Phew, that was a load off my chest. I've just been busy catching up with stuff back here the past few days, so I didn't have time to blog till now(oh my gosh it feels so good to use faceook againXD). And its the last blog post of the year already!!!!! I can't belive that its already the end of 2009, and I just started this blog this year only=). When I look back, I see many great times with friends and family alike, and I will treasure those moments fondly. I can'e believe its a new decade already... and now me and my bro are staying awake by blogging just to watch the countdown even though we still have to wake up for training at 5.30am tomorow morning. Nice way to start the new year, eh? But now the moon is shining on my pillow(it looks so surreal...ahhh), my bro just went down to on the tv, and I really must be going. So, farewell 2009! And thank you all my fans and supporters! Without you this blog wouldn't have been possible! Thank you so much! I love you guys! BYEEEEEE!!!!!!!

P.S. I didn't make any New Year Resolutions, because I think they're just a set of rules which display one's inadequacy. I know I won't do them anywayXD

2009-12-08T10:34:00.002+08:00

Heya people, just came back from our family holiday in Penang yesterday=). It was really fun(as expectedXD) and all of us had a really great time over there.

We stayed in the NEWLY OPENED Hard Rock Hotel(how awesome is that???;D) and the service, the food, the facilities and basically everything was great. We even watched 2 scary movies over 2 consecutive nights - Jennifer's Body and Esther...Seriously though, somehow a 9 year old girl can be creepier then a flesh eating babe. Our girl cousins didn't dare to go back to their roooms themselves after watching, so we had to escort them back after each movieXD.

But overall it was a really enjoyable trip, and I hope we can come together again like this next year...I'm hoping it'll become a habit/tradition to go on a family holiday each year to more and more awesome places=D. There are SOOO many photos of our trip, but as usual, go to facebook if you wanna see em; my cuz Sarah has put up most of the good photos:)

So now I'm feeling kinda sian and tired, cos RI has officially fucked up my hols. If you wanna know why, leave me a comment with your email/msn and I'll tell ya. It has nothing to do with holiday homework or anything like that; we only got two pieces of chinese worksheets this hol so I'm definitely not complaining about the workload(in fact, I finished the two worksheets on the second day of the hols) It's something more...personal, shall we say. Just know that RI has made me a lot more cynical this year. It's kinda sad, but I think I needed a wake-up call as well.

So thank you, RI, for fucking up my holidays. Thank you for making me a more cynical person who doesn't smile/laugh as much anymore, and most of all, THANK YOU for showing me how screwed up Singapore's education system is.

And FUCK YOU, Le- Sh--k M-ng, you stupid anal-retentive bitch. I have never disliked you in sec1/sec2, but now you have officially given me a reason to hate you with all my being. You know why, and the only reason I am censoring your name on my blog is bcos I don't want any lawyers on my ass. So if we have any encounters in the future, you had better watch out, because I will be FAR from cooperative. Bitch.

2009-11-26T16:36:00.005+08:00

Why the hell do parents, when they say "You know I don't want to nag at you, BUT...." always continue nagging on for another 15mins - 1hour and then in the future they always nag again? It doesn't make sense to me, really.

Screw it, if you don't want to nag you don't HAVE TO you know. Its not like there's a nagging switch inside your brain that can't be turned off when we make a mistake/you're not happy. "Argh Bryan didn't do what I asked him to do again...Can't.....resist...must....NAG!!!!!!!"
It's a free choice, damnit. Amazingly(and this may come as a revelation) you can actually CHOOSE not to nag! WOWWEEE WHAT A SURPRISE!!!

And I don't know why, but it seems that they think that just because we're teenagers everything we do wrong just HAS to be an act of rebellion.

"Oh, you forgot to do your homework? You'd better stop this rebelling."

"Oh, you did badly on your test? Stop rebelling against your teachers."

"Oh you started cutting yourself again? Must be rebelling."

"You had another round of psychosis and killed 20 people? Why must you always rebel against me like this.....{nagging continues for another 2 hours}"

I just don't get how adults think. I swear I will never do this to my own children(if I have any) when they are my age and boy will THEY be grateful for it.

Sorry about this angsty post but my mom just nagged at me and I felt really pissed and I had to let it out. I get d@mn sarcastic when I'm pissed, so yeah.
Hey, maybe I should write an article for Cracked.com whenever I'm angry, then at least the sarcasm won't go to waste=).

2009-11-24T13:28:00.002+08:00

Heya people!!!! I'm back from India!!!!!=))))))

I'm amazed I made it back alive. Okay, maybe it wasn't THAT bad, but still. It's INDIA.

It was quite an awesome trip, made friends with everyone in the group and bonded really well. even made some friends from the host school in Delhi (DPSG - Delhi Public School Gaziabhad).

Btw, the school is like, the best in the region and it is ranked 2nd best out of all the schools in the whole of India. So it's pretty damn ownage. It's like RI standard in Singapore.

Everyone took a sh!tload of photos, me included(mostly with my phone, I was too lazy to take my camera out of my bag. Yes, I'm lazy.) so I'm not even going to bother to post them here on this blog; instead I'll try to upload them on facebook. You can go there and take a look if you like. Everyone in the group probably will put their photos up on facebook as well, so there's gonna be some massive tagging spree. There are a lot of funny photos and photobombs, go and look around and you'll find them=D

Anyways, I don't really feel like writing too much about the OIP trip. I have WAY too much stuff to talk about, and abosolutely no motivation to write that much at all. SO you should seriously just look at the photos; they're a rough guide of what we did over there. I have to say some stuff though:

1: The hostel room was OKAY, but the floor was dusty as heck. Seriously, what's the use of having cleaners if all they do when they "clean" your room is sweep the toilet floor? And using a broom whose end is black with soot and crap doesn't help much. They don't even empty the dustbin.And my room's ashtray wasn't cleared for the entire duration of the trip.

2. The food at the hostel was REALLY repetitive. I mean, at first New Dishes are cool and intriguing, but after 5 days of roughly the same dishes over and over again, we kinda tend to get bored. AND BOILED EGGS FOR EVRY SINGLE BREAKFAST. I think if I see another boiled egg in the next week or so I'll probably smash it with a hammer screaming "Death to the heretics!!!!"

3. Airport food is !@#$%^& overpriced. I mean, 3 Sing dollars for a slice of pizza??? 6 something dollars for a ciabatta sandwhich? All of us were like, WTH man.

4. Any body of water in India is black. I mean OPAGUE BLACK. With either a layer of green/black scum floating on top or a layer of rubbish. In drains, in the @#$%^&* RIVERS, in ponds, anywhere with a decent amount of water lying around will look so thick I think you could run across it if you ran really fast.

Okay, enough bitching for now. I need to go and read some manga and basically catch up with what's been happening in the world while I've been stuck in India for almost two weeks. But it was a awesome trip overall, and I really enjoyed it. Our group mates were super funny/random(Shoutout!!!!: Marcus Yeo, Fu Kai, Gerard, Beck, Kevin, Xue Zhou, Jing Xuan, Alden, Jason, Khai Terng, Amos,Ryan, Yi Kang, Wang Ye) and I hope next time we can go on a similar trip with them againXD. But in a developed country. And staying in a 4 or 5 star hotel. I promise we won't destroy anything=D

2009-11-11T14:19:00.002+08:00

I'm going off to the airport soon; like in about an hour's time from now.

I really pray and hope that India isn't as bad as the stories I hear about it are.

Pray for me guys!!! See ya in about two weeks!!!! Don't miss me too much!!!!!(haha I'm such an egotistic b!tch =)

2009-11-10T12:52:00.002+08:00

There was a full moon the past few nights or so, and the nicest part about it was that it shone down DIRECTLY through the window onto my pillow. So I slept with moonlight shining on my face. Doesn't that sound so poetic?=) And I loved staring straight up and seeing the moon shining down on me through the window.

And it looked really nice as well; I tried to take a photo but my stupid phone camera can't capture the moonlight properly=( (I think there are some cameras/lenses which are built specifically for night shots right? And they cost like, up to a thousand??? I dunno. Those are for PROS/rich people with nothing better to spend their money on.)

And I don't know why, but today feels like Saturday to me, even though its only Tuesday. Maybe cos if I compare today's schedule with Saturday's it fits almost perfectly:

1. Wake up early(5am!!!!!!@$%#@$%!!!!!!) to go training. Check.

2. Come back from training, then sleep till about 12pm. Check.

3. Eat lunch, then do some chores and then slack off till evening, when we go out for dinner as a family. Check.

So it seriously feels like Saturday to me. And the best part is that Mom and Pa aren't at home, so I can use the com!!!! Nais!!!!=)

I need to watch more Legendz. LEGENDZ.....*drool* Shiron.....*drools even more* :D

Legendz!!!!!!! SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

2009-11-08T11:34:00.003+08:00

KYAAAAAAAAA I'M ADDICTED TO LEGENDZ!!!!!

I know I'm lagging slightly, but I just started watching the anime this week. And seriously, I only watch it for the dragons(Shiron!!!Ranshiin! Greedo!! SQUEEEEE!!!!!!)XD. They look so awesome, whoever designed their bodies should be revered.

Plus, I just spent about 3 and a half hours surfing deviantART.Is that normal???=3 and most of the time I was looking at Shiron/Ranshiin art. The artists there are sooo amazing; I feel inspired to start learning how to draw Shiron.....or manga in general. Mostly I just wanna draw ShironXD

Most(in fact, all;D) of my recent faves on dA are Shiron/Ranshiin art. Go figure. I think they look sooo cute together=333

So to date I only know two animes/mangas featuring dragons as main characters in them: Dragon Drive and Legendz. Does anybody else know of other animes/mangas featuring dragons as main characters???Please tell me I reallyreallyreally wanna watch/read them=)

Oh and does anybody know also where to read the Legendz manga online? I've been trying to find it but most websites that I've found don't have all the chapters=(

Dangit, why do all these amazing dragon mangas/animes stop production??? It's such a waste. Actually, if they made an entire anime/manga based on dragons only, I think that would be PERFECT. Believe me when I say that there will be hundreds of thousands of fangirls/boys within weeks. TV producers/manga artists, are you listening???!!!!!=) But the dragons have to look AMAZING, of course(just like Shiron and Ranshiin and Greedo)XXDDDD

So, I'm off to continue watching more episodes of Legendz and drool over Shiron *sees Shiron flying above* KYAAAA SHIRON I LOVE YOU * runs after him madly*

P.S. I doubt any of you would know, but I copied and pasted most of this post from my deviantART journal, where I wrote it first. I just felt lazy to write everything again, and I felt that most of what I wanted to say was there already. I only added some extra bits. So yeah, sue me for being efficient, will ya? But I know that mere words cannot hope to fully describe the awesomeness of Legendz. :)

If anyone wants to know my dA profile, just leave a comment. I've started posting some of my photographs there, so if you wanna take a look by all means feel free; I'm just happy to have people look at my "work". If I ever learn how to draw properly, maybe I'll start putting up pics as well.....I'm just gonna pray and hope for the best!=D

2009-11-06T13:48:00.002+08:00

Today's the last day of school. I dunno why, but I feel kinda weird. Its like; I'm happy that school is finally over after a friggin stressful year, but at the same time I'm gonna miss my friends...

I hope we can meet up during the hols for outings though=) It'll be fun, especially with MY crazy class.

In the meantime, I decided to practise my drawing skills(or lack thereof). I seriously suck, but I'm learning and hope that one day I'll be noticed on the Net by ppl (hey, dreams DO come true k?=) I'm currently practising how to draw manga-style art.

I got inspired to start drawing in the first place by this anime...which I shall talk about in the next post. It rocks so hard that it deserves a post of its ownXD. Needless to say, it has DRAGONS in it ;D

So pray for me ppl, I'll do my best to learn!!!=) If you have any tips/pointers for an(extremely) amateur artist like me, please feel free to leave them in the comment box. It's much appreciated=D I'll have plenty of time to practise when I go to India for my school trip (during the lessons I'll be drawing on whatever spare piece of paper I can get my hands on so as to pass the time -I can't understand/speak Hindi, if you haven't realised by now), so I should be better by the time I get back homeXD

Anyways, that's all for now! My next post will be about the awesome anime I was referring to above. It'll be quite gushy, so be warned.....

P.S. I'm obviously addicted to the anime, as you can PROBABLY infer if you have an IQ of above 50. And no, its not Dragon Drive. Chibisuke might be the cutest baby dragon in the world, but he doesn't have the same sort of appeal that the one(s) in this anime has :D

Exams are OVER!!!!!!YAYYYYY!!!! WOOOOTZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-10-30T14:04:00.002+08:00

Yes, it's exactly as the above title says: MY F@KING END-OF-YEAR EXAMS ARE OFFICIALLY OVER!!!!! NAIS!!!!!

Actually, they were over on monday but I wanted to slack so badly that I put off blogging until now=) After our Lit paper on Monday, a group of us from both Lit and RA Lit went all the way from Bishan to Lido at Orchard just to watch Julie and JuliaXD The movie was okay; the talking parts were a bit boring but overall quite a touching and worthwhile movie to watch. But just going out with my friends was great enough, so even if we had just walked around doing absolutely nothing I would still have enjoyed myself:)

And the past 3 days(Tue to Thurs) my bro and I have been going back to school every single day for OIP training. We're going to India from 11-23 Nov; its like the furthest and longest overseas trip we're gonna be on without our parents. And with all our quirky schoolmates, I absolutely cannot wait for 11 Nov to arrive.=D

The "training" the past few days was useless though, just some talks and videos and all that
b!llshit crap about behaving ourselves over there and stuff. So we just totally wasted our time at school. Like we don't do that on normal days anywayXD

Plus, I'm REALLY happy to get my com back. I can finally start having a life again=) Time to watch anime read comics go facebook surf youtube blablabla etc....

K, that's about all I can post for now. I really really want to do a lot of stuff...

PS: I started playing Gunz with my fren Kenneth. Anybody who also plays/knows about gunz, if you wanna play with me just leave me a comment or something. Don't worry, I SUCK HARD. I can't even butterfly properly. You'd probably pwn my @ss.

2009-10-15T15:53:00.002+08:00

Hiya people! Haven't posted in a while cos I've been studying for my EOYs. Everyone is probably as well, except for the PSLE students(they finished on Mon), the RGS and MGS ppl.(both finished on..tue?wed? I dunno)

Why the heck does RGS only test a few topics each subject?! Are they more stupid than other schools? Or has the standard dropped or something? Anyway feeling quite pissed at such unfairness. And they're supposed to be the "elite" girls school. Hmph.

And if you look at my previous post, you will see that I said I wouldn't use the com from this week onwards. But the temptation is too great, so here I am=). But tomorow is only SS anyway, so don't really care. Just study the case studies a bit can liao.

Today was the English paper(comprehension+summary writing). Quite okay paper, I did it quite slowly but still managed to finish. Then was a one and a half hour break before Chinese Paper 1.(essays). The break was friggin long, but at least can revise a bit:D.

The Chinese Paper 1 was quite tough. I mean, at least for me cos my chinese sucksXD But at least I still remembered the format and could crap some stuff out. I'm just gonna leave it to God to do the rest, and he will help me do fantastically well=)

So, two papers down, only 8 more to go!(cos maths got two papers like chinese) When I said that to my friends they gave me this dry look and said "Wow, thanks for the encouragement." or "Wow thanks, I feel so much better now." I don't know why they said that. But I feel great for encouraging them!!!XD

Argh, must really try not to use the com next week, got all the hardcore subjects like Chem, Bio, Maths.

I bought like, 300 swiss on Mousehunt on Facebook so that I only need to check max once a day. It's like a backup. Worst come to worst I may not check at all, then the next time I check I would have leveled to Master liaoXD

Okay, need to go study for SS already, although I'm not sure that SS is even useful. Dunno why they they teach us about governments and political conflict and all that crap. Like we care about that stuff at our age.

PS: I may try to post during the hardcore exam week(next week), but will be quite hard. If not, then I'll be back again the weekend after! cos only got Lit left=) Literature RAWKS!!!!!!!

2009-10-09T16:17:00.002+08:00

YEAH I GOT MY PHONE BACK WOOTZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111

Haha hyperXD. Like the above line says, I got my phone back!=) After 5 painful days of no music, I finally have my phone back!!! yayyyyyyyyy

I'm gonna put in Paramore like, right now.

Then I need to go continue studying=(.

2009-10-07T14:55:00.002+08:00

Argh I dropped my phone on Friday, and the LCD screen inside cracked. So there was like this black line across the screen, and if you press the screen lightly it'll go all multi-colourish. Quite kewl, but I had to pay $128 freaking bucks just to replace the LCD screen. And I've been stuck with my maid's old phone the past few days. It sucks, but the games inside are fun lolXD. They distract me from my studying.

Wait that's bad.

Anyways, I'm gonna check soon to see whether they've repaired it already so I can claim it back. I miss my phone so much(T^T)

And I'm gonna have to stop using my com soon cos exams start like, next week Thursday.=(

It's gonna hurt sooo much.....
But I guess I shall have to endure it.

Just keep thinking of all the fun we can have after the exams are finally over; those thoughts shall keep my spirits up.

Jia you everyone, Don't Give Up!!!=)

And most of you probably know this by now, but Paramore's new album came out on Friday. It's called brand new eyes and it is SUPER OWNAGE. I just love their style and hayley william's voice sounds friggin nice:D. They're not so emo/angst anymore compared to All We Know Is Falling or Riot!, but I still love themXD.

And they're coming to Singapore next year!!!!Finally!!!!! YEAHHHHHHH

My bro says he's gonna take part in every single radio competition he can until he gets a pair of tickets. I think he's serious. But we are SO going to their concert no matter what.

GRAHHH need to go study now.

2009-09-29T04:38:00.003+08:00

Just finished watching season 5 of house...the ending is so sad=(

Hope that season 6 comes soon, then can spend more sleepless nights watching=)

The way my mom [attempts to] kill lizards is quite scary.

When I'm in my bedroom at about 10.30pm going to sleep, suddenly I hear this noise coming from the second floor. It goes like this:
"Ungh!"*grunt* BAMBAMBAMBAMBAM "Shit!" BAMBAMBAMBAM

And the bangs get progressively louder. I hear stuff falling everwhere and can visualise that the whole place is probably one big wreck. It takes all of my willpower not to open the door and walk downstairs to see whether a vulgar hurricane is passing through our house or its really just my mom.

After like, 10 minutes of this, my dad opens their room door and asks casually, "Did you get it?"

Super funnyXD

Then after another few good solid wacks, the banging stops. Peace and quiet returns to the house.

I still don't know if she killed it. Probably not. (^_^)

Don't mess with my mom. If she's willing to do that for a lizard, imagine what she can do to YOU.

Oh and something else....

SHIUK ADDED ME AS A FRIEND ON FACEBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXDXDXDXDXDXXDXDXD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

I'm friggin happy now:)

I mean, one of the best artists I have ever seen just added me as a friend on facebook!!! How cool is that!!!!!???????

As you can probably infer, I'm a huge fan of his work=3

He's a salamander. Different from a lizard, but I probably shouldn't let him near my mom all the same.

You rock, Shiuk d(*⌒▽⌒*)b

Okay, I've been reading Vampire Knight and watching the anime recently, and I realised that Yuki's relationship with Kaname and Zero is very similar to that of Bella with Edward and Jacob in the Twilight series. Let's have a checklist:

1. Normal human girl is in love with a vampire. Check.
2. They both fall in love like they were meant for each other, blablabla all that mushy crap.Check.
3. She has a close friend who actually loves her, but cannot bring himself to tell her until she decides to side with the vampires and he is outraged, etc. Check.
4. Said friend undergoes painful and horrific transformation but doesn't tell her even though they're damn close and she trusts him. Check.
5. She actually loves him too, deep down inside, but they cannot be together because they are supposed to be mortal enemies(Bella and Jacob->vampire and werewolf; Yuki and Zero->Vampire and Vampire Hunter who is ironically a vampire). Check. And this brings me to my next point...
6. Main character is a GIRL, and she becomes a vampire eventually after a lot of heartbreak, quarrels, tears, arguments, blablabla. Check.
7. The vampires in both are unbelievably beautiful. Check.
8. The vampires who grow close to the girl protect her and her family when the corrupt/screwed up elite vampires come to decimate her home because of really stupid reasons. Check.

Wow, so now I'm really unsure whether Matsuri Hino ripped off Stephanie Meyer or its the other way around=o. But the Twilight series and Vampire Knight both rock anyways, so I don't care=)

Oh and the other comic I was reading was Finding Avalon. Its a double-feature comic with two really sweet stories of self-discovery and growing up, and I love the characters XD. But I only like {Even Now}, the other story {Beyond Words} doesn't really appeal to me. I hope the publishers release the second volume soon=3. I don't want to say anything else about the comic..................*mulls silently, deep in thought*

So, thanks to this newfound revelation/discovery, Shiuk is officially my favourite artist on the web right now=D. His drawings are not only friggin cute, he has an amazing eye for detail and colour as well as a skill for conveying so many emotions with one picture. His drawings always make me feel warm and fuzzy insideXD. Athus and Narse are great artists as well, their drawings are sooo awesome=).

That's all for now, ppl. Oh ya if you're bored and want to waste some time go to facebook and check out my new display pic and comment:) would love to hear from you guys what you think of my outfitsXD.

2009-09-18T00:35:00.002+08:00

Hiyaz ppl!!! Its my birthday!!!(well, at least it was 15hrs+ ago=) now I'm officially 15!!! Prayed to grow in wisdom, stature and as a person in God=). Now I hope I don't grow up too fastXD where has all the precious time spent with friends gone?

Wow I have soo much stuff to talk about. Kay, firstly a BIG shoutout to all the people who wished us(my bro and I) happy birthday today! Be it in person, on facebook or sms, I just want you all to know that I really appreciate it and I am so grateful to have great friends/family like you guys=) Love Ya'llXD Oh and also a shoutout to Rui Jun from my class, he shares the exact same bday as us!=) So happy birthday to you too Rui Jun!!!

Waye was really cute, he was walking down the stairs in the morning and saw me and the first thing he said was "Happy Birthday Bryan!" and came over to hug meXD. Also, Abraham showed a rare instance of human emotion when we went to watch a movie with my bro's LitRA classmates yesterday(which I will talk about later). When their teacher arrived(Ms Kuo. She's like the nicest teacher I've met in RI!!!! Hi Ms Kuo if you're reading this thanks again for letting me join in the outing!), Abra told her " Ms Kuo, we have two birthdays to celebrate today, Bryan and Brandon's and Bumsoo's(another fren; his was on monday but who cares, just enjoy the extra fun=). And that was probably the closest I would get to hear him say "Happy Birthday" from his own mouth to me^-^ Thanks Abra, for showing you care=)

Okay, so now I'll talk about the birthday party we just had at home. It was quite a quiet affair, with just several family members coming over to eat dinner and cut the cake. Not very interesting compared to other years, but still enjoyable for a birthday party=) To be honest, my bro and I weren't really expecting a party this year, just like cut cake and eat with our parents or something, but our parents bothered to host and organise a party for us, and I appreciate that a lot. Thanks mom, thanks pa for loving both of us all these years even though we've let you down so many times. I just want to commit my EOYs into God's hands this year and leave Him to do the rest, for when I rest in Him, He works and I know that he will not let me fail Higher Chinese this year. Ben gave us a brithday present each too(a portable mini-speaker; very useful and quite high quality sound as well=)I like it a lot, and I felt soo grateful. Thank you Ben, for loving us even after all the crap we give to you. Also, we collected a huge amount of money for our birthday angbao stash, so even after paying back our father for the crumpler bag we still have like $240 something to spend, which rocks=) THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO HAS PLAYED A PART IN MAKING THIS DAY SPECIAL FOR BOTH OF US ^O^ Words cannot describe how happy and thankful we are to you guys=).

Okay, now about the outing yesterday. It was an awesome outing(we got to skip training=) and we went by ourselves to Vivovcity to watch The Cove with my bro's LitRA class. Once again, THANK YOU MS KUO FOR LETTING ME JOIN!!!=) I'd also like to thank the LitRA guys for tolerating me and accepting me as a part of your group=) I thoroughly enjoyed myself with you guysXD. We met up at abt 6.15pm, then went to Carl's Junior to eat. I poured too much sugar syrup into my iced tea and gagged when I tasted it.lol. Then we went to watch the movie(which Ms Kuo paid for), then went to the Sky Garden on top to just slack and fellowship for awhile(1 hr) before heading back home. When we were making random racist jokes after the movie in the Sky Garden I joined in with a few of my own; and maybe I told too many in a short span of time because once I finished remarking on Lucky Plaza and the ppl who go there I INSTANTLY GOT A CRAMP in my left calf. I haven't gotten a cramp in like over a year. Ms Kuo said it was ?divine punishment?(she also said after that"I'm glad I got the other brother=)" I dunno maybe I deserved itXD. And when I was writhing in agony on the floor Bumsoo kindly snapped a photo of me with his polaroid. I have the shot beside me now I'll try to scan it and upload it asap=). And my left calf still hurts abit now. But it was a super fun and great outing, and I hope to do it again some time=) without the cramping.

okay this part is about the movie The Cove. Its gonna be abit ranty so watch out. You have been warned for Angst. I'll move this part down abit so those who don't wanna read this don't have to and can skip past it. It has Strong Language, and I decided to use real swearwords instead of censoring them this time because the emotions I feel really require it to be so. Okay here goes:

You stupid, imbecilic senseless fuckwads. Have you any hearts at all? How can you bear to slaughter thousands of innocent creatures every year just like that? And you do it in such a inhumane way too; how about I stab you in the stomach, back, legs and neck with a jagged rusty blade and leave you to bleed to death? And all the while the DAMN MOTHERFUCKING government isn't doing a single shit about this. In fact, they've increased their killling rates over the past few years. In one morning, they kill so many dolphins in a secret cove in Taiji, Japan that the water turns red with their blood. and they do this every morning for at least three months a year. YOU DUMB JACKASSES nobody even buys dolphin meat anymore it's just because you cover it up and pretend that its healthy whale meat that ppl buy it still. And I bet you don't tell them that the level of mercury in dolphin meat is like, 5000% above the safe level that the NSW or whoever declares it to be. I was so angry during the movie and so disturbed by it afterwards that I didn't talk to anybody for like 15 mins after. If you think I'm exaggerating or talking BS, go and watch the movie yourself. Only when you see intelligent, sentient creatures that may be just as smart or maybe even smarter than us being mercilessly slaughtered will you then understand how I feel. The government calls it "pest control", because they blame the rapidly declining fish market on the increase of dolphins and other ceataceans. MY ASS. If anything, it is us humans who are rapidly increasing and wiping out all the edible fish in the oceans. You people are just too self-centred and stupid to acknowledge this simple fact; instead you go and blame the species not likely to cause this problem and then proceed to "eradicate" them. FUCK YOU. I'm sure the world just DESPERATELY NEEDS another species of animals to go onto the endangered list. Like we haven't already screwed it up enough.
You know, after watching this movie I told myself "Next time, when I grow up and work with National Geographic or something, I wanna do what these activists are doing. I wanna make a difference and stop these fucking dicks from fucking up our earth even more." So next time if you guys see me in the news being arrested for freeing dolphins/other captured animals from their cages, don't be suprised and come and bail me out, wouldja?

Okay, I think I've vented most of my frustration and anger out now and said what I wanted to say. But before I go, I just wanna put up some links here so that you can go and support anti-dolphin poaching.

http://www.takepart.com/thecove/

http://www.savejapandolphins.org/

And I highly recommend you go watch the movie. You cannot fully understand why I feel so passionately about this issue until you go and see the truth for yourself. Please, please help to save our Earth and all the beautiful creatures on it that God created for us to view and enjoy. It's the only one we've got.

Kk that's all for now folks, the next time I post it'll probably be about this sweet, cute comic that I'm reading now. So stay tuned! Bye=)

P.S. I realised that my posts are getting more angsty/emotional. hopefully this won't continue for too long-_-

2009-09-14T03:45:00.000+08:00

*Sigh* the september hols are over already...time just flies too fast when you're having a bit of fun...

I really need to start mugging for EOYs liao. I dunno why, but I feel nervous about starting this school term. Its the last lap of the year, so I know I must be strong and depend upon the Lord to guide me and bless me with his infinite wisdom and strength. It's just that I have a wierd, tight feeling in my stomach, even as I type this. I shall pray for it to go away. Probably pre-exams stress, but our EOYs are about a month away...maybe I'm just being too Kiasu? Lord, I just commit everything into your hands and leave you to do the rest, for you are my guidance and salvation. A slight consolation is that the next 3 weeks we're having DMP, so its slacking time!!!! haha just kidding. I need to study for EOYs, even if the modules are a waste of time and I don't give a sh!t about them.

On a more cheerful note, our birthday is on this Thursday!!! YAYYYYYY!!!!!!=) haha our parents got both of us a crumpler bag each(woot!our firstXD) and we've collected quite a fair bit of money already. I would like to have a celebration(you know, with friends and all that) but it's just too late to organise already and besides, I think nobody is really in the mood for some proper celebrating now. I don't mind and I quite understand as well. We all need to focus on our EOYs. But next year I'm really hoping for an all out celebration with our friends...the last one we had was in Sec 1, and that was with our swimming buds. It was awesome=), so I pray next year's one will be even better!

And I've also recently become addicted to this anime/manga called Dragon Drive. I suppose that's because Chibisuke is sooooo CUTE!!!!!! He's like, the cutest baby dragon in the world!!!!!!!OMG KAWAIII!!!!!!!!!!!! All you people who have watched/read Dragon Drive, I'm sure you'll agree with me=) HE's SOOOOOOOOO CUTEEEEE!!!!!!!!SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think I'm overreacting/exaggerating? Maybe haha but take a look at the manga or anime and I guarantee you'll fall for him=) HE'S SOOOO CUTE SQUEEEEEE!!!!! HE RAWKS!!!!!!! And his "true" form is super kick-@ss as wellXD its some guardian god dragon=). But give me his normal/baby form any day=) He's soooooo cute OMG!!!!!!! Crap I'm drooling and gushing over him like a rabid fangirl=D And I just HAD to go and get myself addicted to a anime/manga before EOYs....sigh. Never mind, I shall depend on the Lord for self-control when I am studying. BUT HE'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*drool drool gush gush* Did I mention that he's the cutest dragon I've ever seen? HE'S SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I also re-read Brisingr over the hols as well. I absolutely LOVE the Inheritance Cycle, and I can't wait for Christopher Paolini to finish the fourth book. I know it's gonna be amazing=) I just hope he doesn't release it next year before our Higher Chinese O-levels, because then my bro and I would be fighting over who gets to read the book instead of studyingXD. And then we'd be ggfied.

Actually, I had a sort of revelation/realisation during the hols that made me emo for a bit. As I was reading Brisingr and watching Dragon Drive over the hols, I suddenly became wistful and slightly longing for the relationship that the people in the book/anime have with their dragons. This may sound weird to some of you, but one man's meat is another man's poison, so please no flames. I realised that our world/reality is actually d@mn boring compared to these other realities. I mean, no magic, no dragons, no sword fighting, no adventuring. Instead we get stuck in this hectic, stressful, rushed world which is dominated by the internet and which we created. As I realised that, I knew that I'd probably never get to experience the...experiences of the characters in these wonderful fantasy worlds, and that my...?dream/fetish(haha)? would probably never happen/come true. And then I became emo for abit. Thank god my brother was there for me to pour my feelings out to. I seriously thank god that he made us twins, because I am really grateful to have someone who understands and accepts me completely for who I am, with all my quirks and stuff. He can listen and sympathise with me, and I treasure that. I don't know what I'd do without him=).

Okay, this has been a super long, super emotional post. I'll try to keep you guys updated on my blog about DMP/random stuff during the next few weeks, but I may not be able to post entirely because my mom wants us to study downstairs from today onwards, so I don't know when I'll get the chance to use my com. Now I'm off to go watch a episode of Dragon Drive and drool over Chibisuke=). Sigh......my unrealised fantasies.....to quote Boys Like Girls, "As real as it seems, you're only in my dreams."

2009-09-11T10:44:00.000+08:00

Just watched G-Force last night=). It wasn't that bad a movie, but the plot was quite cliched and the lines were kinda cheesy. It got so bad that the part where Darwin(the main protagonist) was facing off with Speckles(the "unexpected plot twist" antagonist)I actually winced. How could you not, with lines like " We're your family! How could you do this to us?!" And the transforming robots thorughout the movie are just too reminiscent of Tranformers.

But the humour was okay. I just think that they were trying so hard to make jokes that nobody really got most of the intellectual/subtle ones. And the way Blaster(the afican-american stereotype) kept hitting on Juarez(the guinea pig from...Spain/Mexico? I dunnoXD) is hilarious.

So, overall not a very bad movie, but also not a very good one. Hope that Disney will improve on the script next time. The graphics and animation are kick-@ss, as always, but good animation doesn't make up for cliched lines. I like the guinea pigs themselves, though. They're cute if you don't think of them as highly trained professional super spies trying to save the world.

2009-09-08T11:41:00.000+08:00

September hols are here!!!

Nothing much to do at home, just studying, do tuition work and play some dota here and there when I have the time.

Traning is CRAZY, I think our coaches are trying to see how long we can endure their friggin long sets before we faint in the pool.Wake up at 5.30 in the morning, WEEE a 6km set. Come again in the afternoon, WEEE another 6km set. F@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#@!!!!!!!!

On thursday night I think we're gonna watch G-Force at Vivocity. Our mom's company is hosting a private screening, so there's free food and drinks(at the reception), free tickets and best of all, FREE POPCORN. MMMMMMMMMM. I'm so SingaporeanXD I love free things and food.

haha I love eating salty popcorn during a movie,along with some nachos and cheese=)

Well that's all for now folks, I'm off to go slack.

2009-09-04T14:33:00.000+08:00

YEAH!!!!!!!! TERM 3 IS OVER!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOTZZZZZ!!!!!!

Haha, yeah, I'm super happy now. Term 3 is FINALLY over. One crazy, insane stress-filled hectic term of chionging projects and mugging for tests every weekend is now OVER. So I'm really relieved and I feel that a huge load has been lifted off my back=). And I also want to celebrate because my brother's drama team won the parody finals at our school!!! I was sooo proud of him and I think the whole auditorium could hear me screaming in joy and elation. Quite a few people turned around to see who was the crazy guy screaming his lungs out=).

His team really deserved it; they pulled out all the stops for this parody and the best actor award also went to a guy on their teamXD. Words cannot describe how happy I am for them. However, next year I promised my brother that we would give them a tough fight because we're doing Comedy next year for lit, and I already have in mind an idea for the script. It involves Bella from Twilight, Hannah Montana and Beyonce....and of course Lady Gaga:). So watch out LitRA ppl, our class is gonna own the comedy play next year and you'd better step out of the way^_^

Now time for a short well-earned break before the End-Of-Year Exams come up....*sigh* I'll just trust in God and leave it to him to do the rest; for he will shower me with his blessings and miracles.

2009-08-24T21:23:00.000+08:00

heyaz people, there's no more music on my blog because playlist.com is gg-fied with all the copyright restrictions and sh!t. So sad=(......

So if anyone out there knows a FREE(I can't stress how important the word FREE is), good and efficient playlist provider out there on the infinitely vast World Wide Web, PLEASE tell me the website. I really want to pimp my blog up a bit.

2009-08-19T16:33:00.000+08:00

Why do people make "minty" body soap? its so freaking gross. I mean, if its hand soap then fine, but who wants their whole body to be icy cold for 15mins after they step out of the shower? Now thanks to Dettol, my groin feels like its been blessed by the spring waters of jojoba. That was totally random, by the way.

No outlying body part is spared. even my armpits are now freezing. Its just really retarded to put menthol in something which people do not use for nor require for every square inch of their body to be oh-so minty fresh. Any people from Dettol, if you read this and don't believe me just try out your own "minty" body soap. I guarantee you will want to slap yourself for being stupid enough to make such a useless addition to body soap. Soap is for CLEANING, people, not for giving you a shock in the morning when you rub soap all over yourself and then realise too late that you're suddenly feeling VERY COLD...

On another note, RI is becoming more senseless. They cheerfully withhold most of the projects/performance tasks in the first two terms of the year, then slap us in the face with everything thats left in term 3. And for the past 3 weeks, we've had at least 2 tests every week, if not more, along with at least 2 projects a week to hand up.

And here's yet another example of RI's amazing stupidity; we have a Bio test next week, on Transport in Man. Guess when we started learning the topic? THIS WEEK. AND THE TEST IS 6% OF OUR WHOLE YEAR'S MARKS. AND THE POWERPOINT THEY PUT ON THE SCHOOL'S WEBSITE FOR US TO STUDY IS 106 SLIDES LONG. AND THEY DON'T WANT TO PRINT IT OUT FOR US. WHEN WE ALREADY PAY 350 BUCKS A MONTH TO STUDY IN THIS DAMN SCHOOL. AND WE HAVE ANOTHER TWO PROJECTS TO HAND UP NEXT WEEK.

Stupid Management. If your plan is to make students cry and become emo from the stress, then you're certainly over-exceeding your goals.

wow, Lady Gaga was AWESOME!!!!!! woot haha she was here on wednesday night at fort canning park, and there were about 10,000 people there(super crowded, after the performance took us almost 15mins to WALK out of the place). She totally rocked the house, singing her amazing songs like "Papparazi", "Lovegame", "The Fame", "Just Dance", "Money Honey", "Beautiful Dirty Rich" and a acoustic version of "Poker Face". It was soooooooooo awesoommeeeee!!!!!!!! And she really knew how to play the crowd into her hands, here are some quotes from her (note that i remember mostly the vulgar/suggestive ones=):

"Dance you motherf*ckers!"
"You guys make a mean f*cking chili crab."
"You guys are f*cking sexy!"
"If anyone says that you're wrong, tell them Lady Gaga said to F*CK OFF"[points middle finger at camera]
"I'm just a blonde b!tch wearing some bubbles."
"Lady Gaga you're so disgusting...D@MN RIGHT I AM!!!"
"I can't wait to eat chili crab after this concert!"
"This is for all my gay Singaporean fans out there." [Sings "Boys Boys Boys"]

She is such a superstar=). I can't wait till she realeases another album and comes back to Singapore.

P.S. On a side note, I wonder why is it that when I make a comment/post on facebook, sooo many people comment on it? I love the attention, of course=) I'll keep entertaining all my adoring fans and followers!*bows* Thank you, thank you!(haha i'm so delusional and ego=)

2009-07-21T17:08:00.002+08:00

Well, I guess all of us do need INSPIRATION. Haha, this is actually a real scientific term, but I couldn't help laughing when I first saw the worksheet.

Oh, and since I've got my phone attched now, i might as well upload some of the photos I've shot recently=)

Outside my neighbourhood at sunset=) nice,no?

This was taken from a ski lift/skyride thingy at sentosa.

And lastly, a REALLY old shot of our neghbour's house from my room window. I don't know why, but it's one of my fave photos cos i really like the lighting or something.

And that's all for now, folks! I'll try to upload more pics as time goes by, I have sooooo many more=) Bye!!!

PS: Some of you may have wondered why I stopped giving my posts titles. Well, unless its really appropiate(like this post's title) or I just feel like putting a random title, I can't be bothered to think up of a witty title for every single post that I'm gonna be putting up. So sue me for being lazy=).

2009-07-01T20:13:00.002+08:00

Hiya ppl, school's started again! okay, that was way more cheerful than it should have sounded.

Anyways, it's great to be back with my classmates again.=) I missed their quirkiness during the hols, but now i can enjoy the full extent of their annoyingness again!!! yay!!! with Kenneth randomly singing "jai ho!" in class, Waye pissing off the maths teacher again, our chinese teacher making racist jokes, and one of our classmates supposedly pregnant with a baby girl, no wonder i missed school life.

oh yes, um, my condolences and respects to Michael Jackson. He died last week, for those of you who have been living under a rock during the hols. He was a legendary singer and pop icon, and I'm sure the whole world is rocked by his tragic and untimely death. So many people were waiting eagerly for his comeback concerts, and now he's gone. Even though me and my bro never really listened to his songs, we respect him as an amazing singer known throughout the world and we feel his death as well. So, here's to you, Mr Jackson. May you find more joy and peace than you ever had on this earth.

*shakes off solemn black coat* okay, emo part over! Now, who has recently watched Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen? If you have, good for you, watch it again and make sure you buy the dvd when it comes out. For those of you who haven't, go watch it and make sure you buy the dvd when it comes out.=) Has anybody read the reviews given to the movie? They are ABSOLUTE RUBBISH(sorry simon cowell). Seriously, they were extremely harsh on the movie, saying things like "teenage porn" or "horrific two and a half hours of crap"(or something like that). Honestly you idiots, was it really that bad? I mean, apart from some camera jumping at times, the movie was much better than the first, and it definitely did not deserve a review like: "imagine [yourself] riding a scooter down a bumpy hill, while trying to watch, on your ipod, two tractors have sex" ,to quote some retarded reviewer who thinks he's damn good.

You stupid reviewers, have YOU tried filming a movie? NO, all you do is just sit on your fat lazy asses while you devour popcorn and write crap about people and the good movies that they worked so hard to make. Michael Bay tried to make to movie to appeal to a large age group, and I think its worked very well indeed; if not, then why are hundreds of thousands of people watching the movie and it's currently earning millions and millions of dollars despite your screwed up reviews? You guys obviously have no sense of humour whatsoever and I'd say that you're all anal retentive, if not for the fact that you guys probably wouldn't be able to sh!t if you were, you all being such uptight assholes. Next time, before you give a movie a horrible rating and a crappy review, think about all the work that the director has put in and try not to sound like you're all so SMART; you give the impression that you think "oh, I could definitely do a much better job if I was directing this movie". Well, YOU'RE not the one directing, and you're certainly not the one earning millions and millions of dollars. So F@CK all you B!TCHES!!!!

Ah, that felt good. I needed to rant for a bit. I can't stand stupid people who think they're damn smart. Oh, for those people/reviewers who gave good comments/reviews about the movie, good on ya. At least you can appreciate some good work when you see it. And I've finally used some swear words on my blog! Yay me!!!=)haha. That's probably not a good thing, right?

Well, that's all for now, folks. Keep checking back for more posts and see ya soon!

PS: Please comment on how good you think the new Transformers movie was as well as what you think of my rant. I'd love to read how other people feel about this. Thanks=)!!!!!!

Oh yeah!!!! Just got my very first playlist!!!! and after so long too. Seriously, this one is way better than stupid imeem, which only lets you play like 30secs of music if you don't subscribe. I see a bright future ahead for this company. Now, if only they could let people upload their own songs then it would be perfect.

But their library is still pretty large. Not bad for a free music player which LETS YOU PLAY THE WHOLE SONG FRIGGIN IMEEM. But I digress. Its on the bottom of the page, so just scroll down to it to see the whole thing. There wasn't enough space on the side so I had to shift it to the bottom just so that one could read the song title past 7 letters. Grrh, Blogger should make the sides bigger. But then again, the playlist is pretty wide, so can't blame them.

On the whole, this is a great playlist which you should use if you don't want to pay for listening to songs on (stupid)imeem. Even though imeem's selection of songs may be much wider(cos imeem lets ppl upload their own songs), as http://www.playlist.com/ gets more popular, I'm sure they'll expand their horizons and overwhelm other competition for being a simple, efficient and relatively great music player to use.

OH MAN I havent posted in a while. Sorry about that, just cramming all my holiday homework plus tuition homework plus extra homework so that i can get the last two weeks of hols free.=)

Me and my bro went for a holiday in Bali recently, and it was AWESOME=). the two of us went with our cousin and her dad helped us take lotsa photos. Go and check out facebook if you wanna see them. Don't make any scathing comments about our camwhoring k? I know we look good....

Erm, I just started to watch Loonatics Unleashed on youtube for free(yes, I don't really care about copyright and all that other BS) and I can't believe that WB would stop airing such an amazing cartoon after only two seasons.WHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY???????!!!!!!!! *gasps for air*

But seriously, even though I know I'm outdated(LU started in 2005 and ended in 2007) I still love the show. It's like the only cartoon that I can watch without making acidic comments about the characters.AARRRRGGGHHHHH WHYWHYWHY DID THEY STOP THE SHOW NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *face turns red, then blue* The characters are drawn nicely, the script is funny and well-thought out, and I love watching Tech get blown up then regenerate=). It's just hilarious.

Anyway, enough ranting/raving for now. I'm just hoping and praying that WB will realise their foolish mistake and restart LU. The ratings will shoot through the roof, and hundreds and thousands of fangirls/boys will have another reason to live for.

I'm out.

Weee!!!

2009-05-22T15:10:00.002+08:00

heya again! dang I haven't posted in a while. hopefully i have more time to post now that there are no competitions for the rest of the year. YEAH!!!=)

anyway, i've had some fun times recently with my new class, they're spastic=). meaning that we constantly piss off our maths teacher and make retarded and lame jokes randomly during ALL classes. its really cool.

arghh blogger can't upload my photos!!! darn it maybe i shouldn't keep over 500 photos in one memory card. ah well.

oh ya, btw i stayed up till like, 12am last night to study for my philo test which was supposed to be today, then i come to school only to find out that it was shifted to next week. !@#$%^& man. i was grumbling the whole lesson and muttering "just do the *&^%$#@#+ philo test lah..."

But i can't wait for the upcoming June hols!!! seriously, it'll be a good time to slack, catch up on some projects, slack, train a bit harder, slack, and slack. did i mention slacking? nvm.

That's all for now folks, cos i can't properly upload my pics.=( I really have to go clear my mem card.

Emo post.....

2009-04-16T17:58:00.004+08:00

Hi guys, as you can see from the above, this is gonna be a pretty emo and sad post. So if you want your day to remain happy, please don't read this.

Okay, firstly, I didn't get the scholarship that I wanted for school. I mean, it would have helped us to save a lot of money, and even though my parents shrug it off, I know that deep down inside they're disappointed but don't want to tell me and hurt my feelings. Which sort of makes it even worse. Plus I prayed so hard day and night for that scholarship, and I felt completely crushed when I heard the news. It was like the info was a weight being thrown onto my chest, and it hurt in a weird way and I couldn't think or breathe normally for a while. I ask myself, why didn't I get that scholarship, and I ask God too, "why didn't you help me get that scholarship?". I now keep it beside my table to remind me that I am not that good and I have to continuously strive to do better.

I also got my phone confiscated by my dad. I apparently wasted a lot of time randomly searching the web on my phone, so the bill went up to like $50, and he got pissed and yelled and slapped me. Yup. I know its my fault, but wouldn't a normal parent just say something like "Okay, you're gonna pay the bill yourself this time" instead of shoving the paper in my face and pushing me around? Plus without my phone I feel so stranded and unable to communicate conveniently.

And lastly, my grades aren't exactly fantastic. I don't want to elaborate much more than this, but my average is probably the lowest in all my three years in RI. At least I still passed decently.

That's about it for my disaster count so far. I know this is the first emo post I've put on this blog, and I hope there won't be too many more of such posts like these. I want to be happy and enjoy life, not spend it meeting tragedy after tragedy. Life's too short for that.

Swim Camp Vid!

2009-03-31T09:30:00.004+08:00

Okay, here's the video as promised!

Swim camp Video!!!!!

2009-03-29T15:05:00.003+08:00

Heya guys, sorry for not posting for so long but I've had a super busy week and haven't had time to do a proper post. Even now, I have to rush to do this post.

Anywaya, we had a Swim Camp during the holidays, and it was REALLY fun, plus we stayed up late playing cards,heehee =) {I lost like $1.50 before i got exasperated and quit} we also had this dance competition which the sec 4s won because they were soooo funny. I'll try to upload it when I have the time.

Anyways, I have to go now, got so much work to finish before the weekend is over. See ya!!!

Brothers and Sisters

2009-03-17T10:26:00.002+08:00

Okay, so does anybody watch the drama serial ? Because our family has been having this marathon the past few nights where we come back from stuffing our faces at dinner then plop down on the sofa to watch another cd of [Brothers and Sisters]. Since we just finished a competition, our coach gave us a few days off so we don't need to train=). Our conversations in the car coming back from dinner go like this "So, what shall we do at home tonight?" "Oh, I know, lets watch Brothers and Sisters again! I loved it when...." So ya, you get the idea. But its seriously addictive, and I don't know why watching a super dysfunctional family go through ups and downs(mostly downs) is so tantalizing. Maybe it's the Brit humour. I mean, if anyone's family was that screwed up in real life, they'd probably all be in different rehab centres across the country or disown each other first. So anyways I thank God that sort of thing doesn't happen to my family....or anybody's family, for that matter. This is Hollywood, after all=). They're supposed to inject loads of drama while accidentally leaving out the realism.(is there such a word? I'm not sure...)

My first post...on my first blog!!!!

2009-03-16T12:13:00.002+08:00

Hey people, sorry if I seem a bit hyper, but its my very first post on my very first blog!=) I'm quite excited to have joined the blogging community, and even though my blog looks super bland now, I promise to enrich it and make it more fun for you to read and for me to write! So for now, bye! I'm off to read manga online=)

PS: If you want to know abt my past so-called blogging experience, you can check out my Myspace at http://cid-6f534eeea0840906.spaces.live.com/ but I probably won't be posting on it anymore as I have Blogger now=)
