Back to Update

I reckon it’s been a super long time since I last touched my rotting fungus blog which I doubt anyone still reads it now anyway.

2011 has been pretty eventful I have to say. From being Depot Clerk in Army to becoming and accepting who I really am, I cant imagine how time really flies past just like that. Another bout 7 + months and its time to bid goodbye to the army which I feared joining last year august. Im just really thankful and felt really blessed in a way to be posted to 6AMB where I probably made the bestest friends out of it.

Being the Depot Clerk has kinda like been rather challenging because of the workload and the stress given from all the upper management. Somehow I reckon the outgoing clerk has really set the bar high in his days that everyone expects me to fit in and hit that bar.

Apparently I have to say im not that atas as him. Cox basically im not him. Was rather disappointed when I heard that in some people opinion, I wasn’t even anywhere near him in term of standards and stuff. But I will still do my utmost best in my job scope and probably hope that I can reach there someday before I ORD.

So many things have happened in the year of 2011. Friends come and go, according to wat the sayings goes, and I truly believed it now. Faced some really hypocritical people in my life and somehow it just really shook me back into reality. To learn a lesson I supposed.

Sometimes I really wished time can just fly back to either the Primary school days or Secondary school days where by everyone was just as what they are. No pretence, no hypocrites and definitely there to hear u out and be there for each other.

Probably one of the biggest thing that happens to me was that I actually accepted myself for who I am and it doesn’t really seem as bad as the way I portrayed it to be. (:

Finally had my eyes corrected after 11 years and its been doing me well, except for the occasional discomfort and pain, but nonetheless im thankful that my eyes could be cured and treated.

LOL. I realised im so different in the way I wrote this blog and stuff. (must be because of the way I wrote in camp). If you haven realised, there aint any “haha” or “lahhhh” and whatsnot.

Okay shall not digress.

Gonna fly to Taiwan in a bout a weeks time. 1^st time taking a plane and going so far out of Singapore some more. Felt kinda jittery and nervous yet at the same time excited and anticipating for the day to come. But whats more paranoid was my parents who kept nagging and telling me to pack my luggage and etc etc. yeap and I know they meant well for me. So its appreciated. (((:

Oh yea. Took up a sport which I never would have tot I would take up in my life, ever. When I told people about it, they were like.. “you?!” LOL! But nonetheless, gonna prove them wrong and probably it’s the vain part of me went wrong to join that sport. It has something to do with dragons, go figure.

Alright, shall probably end here for now.

Have a great week ahead! (:

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happened to chance upon some blogs and realises i haven been bloggin and updating my blog for like MONTHS... so here goes some updates! (:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! (((:
Its the 4th day of CNY 2011 now as its 3:10am at the moment.. CNY was pretty alright for me i guess.. like it cant be any interesting or appealing to me anymore.. Ang Bao kinda like shrunk thru the years.. i dun mean the packet.. i meant the value in it.. wonder if it has anything to do with the economy... but other than that.. CNY was just realli another day going around visiting and then rot. nothing more than that.

Its officially half a year now from the date i enlist.. 18 more months to go.. was realli glad that my appointment now is a clerk.. but then going thru this transition period was realli kinda stressful.. Everything was so new and not to mention alot to learn as well.. and that apart from learning.. i kept screwing up things.. for a moment i realli am thinking if i am the suitable guy to take over the outgoing clerk. no doubt that i realli liked the job and stuff but knowing that im quite a perfectionist at times.. i just realli feel guilty and bad for screwing up stuff! Alot more to learn bah i guesss.. i'll see it as a challenge for me and im sure i can overcome it... i have overcame even tougher situations and i will make sure im more alert and finish up the job well.. Jiayou!

In a bout 2 to 3 weeks time.. im finally going to have my visions back.. its been a looonngg 11 years with this pair of eyes... realli had it with the eyes.. im realli looking forward to the Operation and the aftermath of it.. like finally i can see properly with both eyes and be normal for once after the Op.

No doubt im realli scared as this is gonna my first Operation.. and i dunno wats gonna happen. but im keeping my faith strong that everything will turn out well and the operation will be a smooth one.. and of course no side effects after the Operations in the years to come.

Alright.. just a short update from yours truly. Have a great New Year ahead and may it be fruitful and full of prosperity! HUAT AH!! :D

2010-09-19T00:09:00.003+08:00

BACK! :)

Okayy... so im finally back to bloggg.. after like months of not blogging... Been kinda realli busy with NS... its the 7th week into NS.... and trust me.. NS is such a bitch at times...

Even if i had some unhappiness.. also cant blog it out cox its like saying something bad about the government or anything.. then i will get my ass burn... -.-

okayyy.. so im going thru by BMT vocational period now.. gonna POC in 2 weeks time! i seriously CANNOT wait for it come... and then leave the treacherous camp...

4 weeks in tekong was more of like a chalet i would say.. although it was realli hectic at times.. cox they squeezed the 7 weeks syllabus into 4 weeks for tekong.. so every week we had like 1 high key event.. but overall.. i would say its a lot better...

5 weeks in sembawang camp.. ehhh.. now is the 3rd week.. embarking onto the 4 weeks... i have a feeling things are just gonna get worst as the weeks comes leading up to passing out ceremony..

now the onli thing that motivating me is to finished BMT.. the finishing line is like sooooooo nearrrrr.. but yet it seems so farrrr...

to be honest.. i realli dun see any interest in NS... its sooo unlike wat i thought it would be before i enlist.. im sure everyone knows i hate technical stuff to the core.. its like the last thing i would even wanna touch or do on earth.. but yet.. im still posted to be a Communications technician... blardy sianz laa... engineering again! but then its NS.. its realli called "lan lan suck it up"... no choice... i realli regretted not changing course in poly..

if i had ever knew that staying in engineering course would lead me to so much misery... i would rather waste that one year and change course!

Alright.. i shall stop venting...

On the brighter note.. every weekends was well spent.. making full use of the precious 2 days to enjoy myself with my friends and cell group...

Gonna celebrate gram's birthday tmr! its been sooo long since i last saw all my other relatives on my gram's side... looking forward to tmr! hahahah! and also one of the best part is booking in at 9pm! hahahaa.. got more time outside before i go back to camp.

Okay laaa.. shall stop here! All the best to my fellow camp mates.. 2 more weeks! and we are done with BMT and throw beret! :)
For those that just got enlisted, all the best too! enjoy and Passing out will reach real soon! :)

Take care! :)

Ups and Downs

Finally back yet again... its 12.32 am right now.. on a monday morning.. cant realli go to sleep due to coffee... somehow i kinda dislike the nescafe coffee.. and decided to brew some espresso aka coffee black aka kopi-O to drink.. hahaha.. aint too bad.. loving the coffee.. :)

Somehow.. alot of things had happened within the short span of weeks.. many Ups and downs.. wats even harder was to put on a facade of smiles and show the brightful side of me when im not even brightful at all...

Many times.. tears were bout to fall but i fought it.. i fought it hard enough to not even let one drop fall....

the places that i went to with you.. the memories that we had.. the happy times that were shared.. everything gone in a split second when u decided to leave.. this entire week has just been hard.. everything just kept reminding me of you.. the lil actions that u made... the stuff that u bought.. and the clothes that u tried at the shop.. everything just keep coming back to me this week.. except for you... all i ever have now is just memories.. i will never forget the times spent..

thank you for that great memories and the great time spent together.. i realli cherished it.. from the very first time we met.. till the day we parted.. i clearly remembered all the time that was shared.. the places that we went together before will never be the same for me anymore... i miss you.. i miss you so much that i myself dun even know how to comprehend...

i told myself i will not disturb u after tat last msg that i sent to you.. and im trying hard to keep that self- promise... i needa move on i know.. but i cant right now.. one week ago.. we were still happy and fun.. but one week later.. everything changed.. and i never knew that the impact could be that massive...

i know i have alreadi lost you.. but i just wan u to know that i realli misses you... i dunno if u will ever see this.. but if by any chance.. any stroke of luck u chanced upon this.. i wan u to know that u will always be a part of my life .. a part of my life encounters that's sweeet..

On a brighter note..

YOG first combined rehearsal was pretty okay.. with the students.. though there are some cock ups and chaos... but it being the combined rehearsal.. all those are bound to happens..

im just glad that the students enjoyed performing on the stage and not finding it a chore and a bore to be part of YOG.

Regarding Army.. 2 more weeks and im heading in.. dunno wat awaits for me on that island across singapore.. but wat has to come has to come... i hope i will be able to brave through that 9 weeks and the subsequent remaining months at the unit.. which will amount to 2 years..

Blessing to be in PES C?? maybe i guess.. but things might always happen.. never know... so yeap... shall go in with an open mind and keep positive..

alright.. thats all i have for this time.. needa rest... been an emotional rollar collaster ride these weeks..

thank you for reading.. take care.

2010-06-04T22:24:00.004+08:00

IM BACKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

Alrightyy.. Haven been updating the blog since Feburary... So many things had happened from feb till now... literally too many to even list it out..

21st Birthday was AWESOME! i cant believe my house can actually take in that huge amount of guests that attended my birthday party... THANK guys for making my birthday sucha memorable one..

Internship at Wincor was shitty... wasnt realli wat i wanted though... in terms of its job description.. but i still made it thru.. in a blink of an eye.. 10 weeks just whizz pass.. and i gotten a realli good results with regards to internship.. wahahaha!

Following that was Graduation Ceremony! Loved that day.. it was so hectic since morning .. cox the reporting time is at freaking 7:15am.. but u know.. being singaporeans.. lateness is a compliment.. so well. was a wee bit late.. but nonetheless still in time.. changed.. dawn on the "Holy" harry potter gown.. and tadah~ off we go to the auditorium! :D

Ms Chan was the one reading my names.. pretty honoured to have one of my closest lecturer in school and not to mention.. my Year 1 Comm Skills Lecturer to read my names.. Without her.. i wont have all the recommendation for to emcee Graduation Ceremony 2007 and Engineering Week 2007!

Had one whole load of photos taking after the ceremony.. apparently.. the photos aint ready yet.. so i cant post it up.. yeap..

After Graduation.. was Gigs after gigs at different venue.. the latest being the one at the New Marina Bay Intergrated Resorts- Marina Bay Sands for Microsoft launching event.Gig was good.. and i had a good time performing! :)

At the same time.. Asia Conference was in the midst as well! headed to help Strikeforce with their booth and then attending service after that..

Asia Conference was a blast i have to say.. though most of the time sitting in overflow area was sucky.. but nonetheless.. it was good.. esp the finale.. Fantabulous with Dr. A.R. Bernard's sermon!

June wasnt a good start.. for the deferment for YOG failed.. haiz.. meaning i have to freaking enlist on Aug 2nd.. and high chances of not being able to perform for YOG.. URGHHH!

Just sent off Soon wee yesterday at Pasir Ris Bus Interchange.. its a feeling i dunno how to put it.. seeing all the faces on the people booking in.. oh gosh.. soon its gonna be my turn! i totally dunno how im gonna fathom how im gonna feel on that day.. losing freedom for 2 years and having to be a dog some how.. National Slavery as they called it..

But oh well.. im keeping things positive and having an open mind.. hope it might at least help. ):

Went out with Joel today.. and accompanied him to upper serangoon to return a helium tank.. and oh boy was it a bad experience.. this is the VERY FIRST TIME the both of us actually get asked to get off the cab! i cant believe that attitude of the taxi driver.. and such people exist..

We wanted to head down to heartland mall after returning the tank.. cox its not say very far .. but not near either.. so we wanted the taxi driver to wait .. as in i will be inside the cab while Joel returns the tank.. and then continue the journey to heartland mall..

He told us that he cant park his cab there and wait for Joel.. so we suggested him turning one round.. i will stay in the cab.. and then turn one round back to fetch Joel.. Upon reaching.. he told us..

"Please find another cab... its the same right.. u can get another cab to fetch u to heartland mall once u finish ur stuff... so get off the cab"

im astonished as to wat im hearing from this cab driver.. its not like we are asking to take us on a free ride.. we are giving him business for goodness sake.. just a simple turn and then back to the spot to pick Joel up.. thats all! and he refuses..

Fine.. so we alighted.. and after returning the tank .. its dumb to flag another cab with another flag down fee and then travel like a few kilometres to Heartland mall.. so we decided to walk.. Bad idea...with the sun shining merciless on our head.. walking there is crazy.. all thanks to the taxi driver.

Nonetheless .. still made it there. had lunch there.. and headed back to tampines.. Bought an Addidas Response today! Gonna start hitting the tracks and run! wahaha! shiokness.. :D

Alright.. I FINALLY updated my blog... till the next time i update,

take care! :)

Ps: all the best to those enlisting in the coming days!

Chinese New Year

Hey guys.. Happy Lunar New Year! i dunno bout u but i pretty much enjoyed my Chinese New Year this year... Partly was due to the fact that its the first year i spent all 3 days of Chinese New Year in Singapore... After a looooongggg timee......

Day 1 was pretty cool... went to Gram's House and stayed there... intending to go to the other relatives house that day.. but ended up... they all came to my Gram's House.. so save the trouble of going around singapore! all gather there.. hahaha!

Day 2 was alright.. with my mum side... can say its pretty boring over there.. so after dinner.. Eugene and I headed off to Zone X arcade at Dhoby Ghaut Mrt station.. and played Jubeats! hahha.. its realli addicitive... i spent like damn alot of money on that machine that day.. played until the arcade closes at 11pm...

DAy 3 was a gathering with my mum side and related friends at my house... and boy were they hogging the mahjong table from noon till midnight 3 am.. hahaha! that day was pretty alright... never had guest at home for a long time too.. and i tink its a good opportunity to have a gathering at home.. cox moving house soon mah ...

Day 4.... Headed over to Roger's House with Joyce and Suherman.. aiyo.. that day is a glass breaking day for me.. broke a glass.. broke a chair... alamak... BUT BUT... they taught me how to play mahjong! wahahah.. finally learnt how to play mahjong after some epic hilarious mistakes made by me!

Went to watch Little Big Soldier.. the Jackie Chan movie... its was quite nice.. simple storyline.. and pretty hilarious too! enjoyed it !

Day 5 was today... Joyce and the peeps came over to my place for gathering.. and we played more mahjong.. meaning more chance to hone my skills in Mahjong!

Went to play Arcade after dinner.. and of course.. i played Jubeats! hahahaa.. got them to play also.. as a team play... hahaha.. so 1 person took 4 squares.. wahaha..

Pretty much thats all bout Chinese New Year so far..

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

* i was totally speechless and dumbfounded when i received the call... totally dunno how to react... i literally couldnt believe that you are gone... and just a few days ago.. i was at ur home visiting you... and even shook ur hand.. wishing u speedy recovery and happy new year.. but i never tot that would be the last i see u and shook ur hand...

All the memories just flooded my mind today bout u being at Gram's birthday party.. joking around.. taking photos of others unknowingly.. and thats was how i caught the skills.. it was from you.. to be able to take great natural pictures with the person not knowing it.. onli then.. it can portray the live and the nature of the person..

And you were always the one asking us for our emails.. verifying everytime we met so that u can send us all the beautiful pictures taken... i realli appreciate all the things that u have done for us....

One thing i still remember till now.. is when we took the train home together with both our family... my parents and ur wife... and that was soo many years ago... in an almost empty train... and that time i was onli less than 10 years old... and u were there joking with me.. and taking photos of us in the train..

it's really hard... i tried my best to held back all the sadness and tears today just so not to ruin the day with the cliques.. but now.. i can realli feel everything sinking in...

Now that u rested... i know u will be happily reunited with the Lord for eternity...

Uncle Chris.. you will always be in our memories.. living on.. Thank You once again for all the blessing that you have brought to us...it was realli wonderful having you as my uncle! Thank you....

Pre-CNY Preparations

Chinese New Year is Finally around the corner... the sort of most dreaded day of all for me.. So.. im like cleaning up my room and i realli needa take a break.. so wah lahh.. im here blogging!

Intended to go Shopping today but then no one is like free.. haiz.. its always the case of planned alreadi.. then last min something HAVE TO cock up.. then the person cant make it.. realli freaking sick and tired of the same situation over and over again ... but oh well..

Probably gonna clean up my "didnt-wear-too-often" Loafter for CNY.. WHy? because i dun realli have a new shoes for CNY... yesss.. for the first time.. im not gonna have a new shoes for CNY.. hahaha. cox the other day after lunching with chuck and the rest at AMK hub... chanced upon this shop and spot my eyes on a nice top.... and well yes.. u guessed right.. i kinda bought it... and the money was realli supposed to be for my shoes!

But oh well.. i dun realli look forward to CNY anyway... because the same old tings are always happening.. relatives will be appalled and then the topic will just orbit around the same issues.. over and over again... sometimes.. i realli had it... like enough is enough...

Attended my aunt's Birthday dinner yesterday... and for once.. i manage to burn this guy's comment.. realli cant stand him... Everytime he sees me.. the only thing that kept coming out from his mouth is his never ending repertoire of the word "FAT"...with other related negative comments... and its not just one time.. its all the time.. who in the world can freaking take tat... so in the car... he was commenting and say when i go Army.. i will suffer etc etc... then i will know wat is call pain etc etc..

and i just giggled and totally burn him back.. saying that

"i realli would love to have that.. in fact.. im dying to have that for my NS training.. the tougher the better.. wats NS if the guy just go in and slack... i rather go thru the tough training and have my NS life slightly more exciting!"

i just literally told him straight in the face... well... not many knows my pes status anyway ... and its true indeed that i rather have the tough training...

and boy was it classic to see his face change.. totally not expecting that coming for me... and all he could say was "that's good".. and from then.. he totally shut up regarding the word "fat" in front of me...

Alright.. i still have loads to do for my room... And Church CNY service later! =)

okie.. Take care people! and have fun during Chinese New Year! =D

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Sakura Treat!

Alright.. So the lecturers treated mostly all the FYP studentsto Sakura Restuarant for lunch... and i would say.. personally for me.. i find the food pretty okay...

hahaha.. some of them were finding the food pretty sucky and not fresh.. but for me.. i guess the food is just fine.. haha.. and so some of the crazy thing the rest did was to play "guess the number" aka Zhong Ji Mi Ma....

The person who got the number will hence be required to do a forfeit.. which is in term of eating some disgusting food.. but of course in such a nice restaurant.. u dun find disgusting food.. so they used wasabi instead...

Had my first taste of wasabi and it was choking... cox mainly i dun eat spicy stuff... less to mention wasabi.. but for the fun of the game.. i ate the food with wasabi anyway when i lose the game..

But of course.. the most EPIC of all was the final round.. where calvin ate his share of wasabi.. hahaha.. being the last round of all.. the last food has definitely gotta have more wasabi... and Calvin had not eaten a single food with wasabi thru out the entire game! hahaha.. so ended up.. he lose that final game.. and boy was that epic to watch him eat down that rice bundle full of wasabi....

but nonetheless.. its all in the name of game... im sure everyone had fun eating it and playing the game....

Didnt do much today... Gonna start on my report soon... =)

Alright.. shall blog again soon!

2010-02-02T21:39:00.002+08:00

2 Days of Army Related Stuff

Alright... so the 1st day, which was yesterday (19/01/10), went over to CMPB with Jacob and Soon wee to have our NS medical Screening..

hmmmm... it was a lot better than wat i expected it to be... the staff there are pretty kind and good.. except for a few NSFs i guess... the staff there wasnt like stern and had that kinda stuck up face..they were still smiley and treating us really well...

one of the NSF was even allowing me to choose my very first station.. LOL.. i dunno why... but yea... the rest of the people, he kinda like just assigned them randomly.. hahaha.. so i was like pretty surprised he asked me to choose..

headed to dental first... then to xray, hearing, blood, eyes and lastly the Medical officer side...

well... was pretty disappointed when i got my Pes Status because i was not realli expecting that... thru out all the stations, even for my eyes... i gotten Pes A for all of them... so i was tinking like if everything is normal and stuff.. i would at most go into Pes BP for being mild obese...

But... things werent wat i expected... during the consultation with the Medical Officer.. he kinda discovered im flat footed... i mean yes.. i know im flat footed... but i didnt intend to declare it in the first place.. so he did some tests... and told me that my flat footed was rather severe...
So he ask me if i can run and jump.. and i told him i can run but not jump due to the shock running up my feet after landing from a jump... so just because of that... i got downgraded to Pes C... excused from Running, Marching and Jumping some more...

The immediate thought that came to my mind was "great... then wat the heck do i do in NS?" ....was pretty disappointed because afterall.. every guy needa go thru NS and i personally feel that... i would want the tougher training... get to fire some rifles and do grenade throwing.. i mean where can u ever throw a grenade besides doing that in NS.... might as well make the 2 years as exciting as it can... be it if its tough and enduring..

but wats done is done... looking at the brighter side.. my BMT is modified and onli 7 weeks.. i dun even need to retake Napfa Test because it is insignificant in Pes C.... well... pretty much that kinda sums up my medical screening...

Day 2 was today... went over to HQ armour at sungei Gedong.. some ulu place where the army camp is... and its realli deep inside.... was welcomed by loads of tanks parking at the side of the camp... and then followed by a talk from 2 NSF...

Headed to the tactical engagement station first and got the chance to actually fire a rifle... though we can onli fire 3 rounds.. but the feeling is shiok one lor... its realli fun to fire the rifle and get the feel of it...

then headed over to view the different tanks... and somehow... i always end up listening to the NSF talking to me about the driver capacity in the tank... went in and sat in the tank driver' seat.. pretty awesome to sit in there and know how it looks from the inside..

then went over to one of the simulation at this room... and they had this 2 huge bullet to load and fire.. though of course they didnt realli literally fire in the room... sat in that "tank" and felt it moved around... with the commander controlling and giving instruction.. quite exciting...

Got the chance to ride in a real tank after that...and surprisingly.. i saw fuxiang.. one of my sec school senior... he gave some instruction and there we go.. hopping onto the tank and having the ride around the camp in the tank...

Lastly.. they did a display finale for us.. like how the tank will go in during war time and how they deploy the soldiers to defeat the enemy.. though the display was pretty short.. but nonetheless... they realli fire their rifles... exciting for that few mins... hahaha!

Headed back to school after that.. and then headed home...

Alrighty...thats so much i wanna share for this post.. tmr is my final Presentation for FYP... pretty nervous... guess im gonna quickly go back to chionging my presentation!

Till then...

2010-01-10T21:40:00.002+08:00

Which one will it be?

Just came back from Strikeforce training... and was told today is important as Boon, my strikeforce head, wanna talk to some of us regarding some gigs and performances...

And so in the middle of the training, i was called out to speak to him... hmm and its with regards to this year National Day Parade and Youth Olympics Games performances...

Somehow.. im pretty okay with both of them... just that if its up to me to chose, i would prefer Youth Olympics Games... but nonetheless, comes wat may, i will still accept which ever was offered to me... so the main thing was Boon asking us if we can commit to the training and the rehearsals from april all the way up to August...

with regards to National Service, he can even deferred the few of us that might be affected.. hahaha.. but of course i gave him my committment and told him im up for it... so now i just gotta wait to see if i got chosen and which one will i get chosen for....

on top of that, he also ask us with regards to some community performances which is non paid, so well.. i gave my committment for that as well.. i mean serving doesnt necessarily have to get anything back in return.. if its that case, then thats not called serving anymore...

of course, this year, one of my goals was to perform as many performance as i can prior to NS, and perform to my hearts content... because afterall, once i goes in to NS, i will pretty much perform lesser and it realli depends... so hence this year i wanna do many gigs and performances as i can before NS.... be it if its paid or not... it doesnt matter...

Dreading school tomorrow, i realli dun feel like going to school tmr... i just dun have that energy and that kinda motivation to go to school anymore.. bloody boring... nevermind.. a few more weeks only... plus that 2 stupid weeks of in-house attachment... waste time, free labour...

Screw those negative stuff.. looking forwards to Upcoming performances!!!! guess thats the onli thing now that motivates me... and of course.. upcoming outings with my secondary school friends.. wahahaha...

gonna spend more time with them.. realised i always neglected them due to my busy schedule.. nonetheless, im gonna make time for them and spend more time with them! Clubbings, cyclings, rollarbladings all coming up! =D

okaye.. thats all from me for now...

2010-01-09T23:11:00.002+08:00

A Brand New Year???

hmmm... a brand new year, a brand new start? i think... more of like forget it... the moment this year start.. everything went wrong...

somehow... i can foresee that this year is gonna be quite a tough year to get by... i get the feeling that God is realli putting me to the test... all this trials and stuff... im not gonna be like last time... all these aint gonna pull me down... it onli makes me stronger...

Criticism may comes... negative words may come... and i must admit i dun realli do very well in that area... but nonetheless i still have to deal with it... its part and parcel of life... i have to get out of my comfort zone and not always expect things to work my ways...

im not gonna give a shit to wat others say unless its constructive... for wats the point i make myself so miserable to keep thinking bout wat and how other people think of me... im not opening myself to howling abuses here.. but unless u guys have constructive comments or criticism... otherwise... its just gonna go in and go out of my ears... its like "whatever la.."

i tink its time for me to live life.. seriously...

screw those negative thoughts... its time to live right... and its the right time to live now..

Just did the facebook "God wants u to know" thingy.. the words are so timely...

"that your remedy for anxiety is the question: 'Will this matter in a year from now?' All too often you get so involved in things that you look at life through a microscope. Amplifying manifold, an invisible speck becomes an insurmountable mountain. Put down the microscope and imagine yourself a year from now looking back at today: 'Does this really matter?''

the main thing came to me is that " does this really matter" and immediately.. all the bad tings came to my mind and i started asking myself.. does it realli matter? am i realli looking at things from a microscope and tend to magnify problems and stuff?

will it matter so much a year later.. and realli, i tink i pretty much get the answer myself... it will matter onli if i keep harping on it and looking at it.. and one year later tings will still not change...

looking at all these negative events.... and all these lil trials.. yes they are indeed annoying... and it gets on my nerve.. but im sure i can get out of it.. and one year later.. this is history man...

Thank GOD for that great timely word! God indeed speaks to us thru all things... facebook also can! LOL!

alright.. done with my venting and wat i wanna say... needa let it out... felt soo much better letting it out...

THE END OF THE YEAR......

Soo... once again... its the end of the year.... it felt like one week ago when i was writing my last post of the year in 2008.. time realli flies..

hmmm... how to sum up this year.... its been a year full of events for me... the year i met the most number of new people.... somehow 2009 aint as good as 2008.. i felt that 208 was a whole lot better year....

i have decided not to do a round up for this year as i realli dun have the time to do an entire round up for the year... but rather.. more of how i felt for this year...

This year was the year i met the whole number of new people... all the new friends i met from Strikeforce/Urban Drum Crew...Final Year Project people.... and of course not forgetting the new Foreign Bodies Juniors.

And also ... i could say that this year is the year i met the most number of Celebrities be it from local or overseas.... ranging from Gurmit Singh to Wang Lee Hom... and also the country's Leaders, President SR Nathan and PM Lee Hsien Loong..

i could say its been a fruitful year so to speak and that its been full of all these events that enriches my whole life this entire year...

Credits to Strikeforce and Urban Drum Crew for all that fantastic gig experience and realizing one of my biggest dream of being on the biggest stage in Singapore... it was definitely a memorable experience that will etched in my soul for a long time...

Met a whole lot of different people in FYP... well..i must say its not a bad ting being in the A3 path in terms of this because we get to know people from the A1 and A2 pathe... so somehow in one way or another, we kinda almost knew all the people in automation for the manufacturing and some from the mechatronics side..

FYP still has bout another 4 weeks to go.. before everything comes to an end for FYP and then followed by attachment..

there are alot of tings running thru my mind which i wanna pen down but yet, on the other hand, i dun realli know how to and i dun realli know where to even start with..

to fully sum it up.. 2009 is a year i enjoyed to the fullest.. but also a year full of struggles and unforseen negative circumstances...

i honestly hoped that 2010 can be a whole lot better year for me though im enlisting in that year.. but yea... still hope it can be one of the best year... =)

Alright... here goes my last post of the year...Will be joining the peeps at vivo later for countdown... hope everything runs well... Last but not least.. Happy New Year everyone! =D

2009-11-22T00:29:00.002+08:00

Back! =D

Hmm... been quite a loong while since i came back here to blog.... sorie guys.. was busy with FYP.... these past few weeks just kinda been rather tiring and stuff, due to FYP alone... hasnt gotten much sleep lately..

Finally handed in my 6 weeks of work on friday... felt damn relieved after that... but oh wells.. FYP still continues.. Presentations next thurs.. 5pm... needa work on it soon... got bout 5 days to get all the presentation stuff done...

Hmmm played for a few gigs recently.... more of like late oct to early nov... pretty okay i guess... love shakering for my last gig @ INSEAD graduation ball at habour front jewel box...

then went out with the cliques for makan and stuff everyday after School... Caught the movie 2012 on friday night... have to say im so tired that in the beginning part.. i kinda dozed off.... hahaa! opps!...

Movie was not too bad... though its abit hard to keep seeing people die and countries being flooded and sink into the sea...

Had Napfa also... hahaha.. kinda different from wat i expected it to be.. the tester damn funnie la... in a good way.. it kinda help all of us not feel so stressed up and distract us from watever that is stressing us.. be it the results, timing etc etc

hmmm... dunno when im coming back to blog again.. so just wanna say ALL THE BEST to those FBodz-er performing for Lunchtime Concert next wed! put up a good show! i know u guys will! =)

well... i just replied arisa for the contacts ting and i went to my gmail to make sure my gmail add is correct.. and somehow... when i entered in to my gmail acc... all i saw was Nueh's Whiney emails from last year production...

i read thru all of them once again... and i just realli realised time flies.. its been a year alreadi ... and yes.. while im reading those whacky emails and the final graduation emails... i just some how realised how much i misses foreign bodies... those times training together and having fun at the same time.. not forgetting the exclusive experiences on stage performing...

although i know that its kinda rocky in the beginning of the year for me... i screwed things up... but i realli hope that we can be one big family once again... to be able to perform and have fun just like last year... =)

Gonna start gyming and training for NS... time to lose those weight and get a good stamina... wont wanna die inside NS... i tink 1 year ++ shld be quite sufficient i hope...

okaye.. i guess thats all from me for now...

take care people! =)

UPDATES!!!!!

Hhahaha.. so i was like M-I-A for like super long.. bout a month... this has gotta be the longest time i mia from my blog.. was super busy with so many tings..

Firstly was with Strikeforce's Secret project... which sort of ended on Oct 2nd for the time being.. LOL.. it wasnt too bad... ahahha.

Helped out Urban Drun Crew with one of their gigs as their helper.. during sept.. it was more of a "dun drink and drive" campaign held by Johnnie Walker... and they have a supercar run which featured Mika Hakkinen... the 2 times F1 Championship some time back ago.. he is in the same team with Lewis Hamiliton.. hahaha....

was pretty good an experience for mi to see the F1 car up close... and of course seeing it in action closer was a whole lot of a different experience.. hahaha!

AND I MANAGE TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH MIKA HAKKINEN!!! A solo one somemore!!!!

Ignore my Hair. it was realli not done up that day plus the wind
damn strong that day la!

School started on 19th Oct.. which was last week.. been one hell of a week.. so much tings to do and so short a dead line... and it was onli the first week of school... so i rushed.. and do all the tings..

Oh yea.. last monday was the first day of school.. initially this project was an individual project.. but praize the lord.. to be honest i dun even know how im gonna go thru it, even to the point when the lecturer was briefing me the details. it seems kinda massive.. as he is putting me in Singapore Robotics Games for my FYP...

and the amazing tings happen.. just so happens, there was another student that was allocated to my supervisor because his supervisor got nothing for him... so in the end, i had a partner, and the load is so much lighter... it was so unexpected and i realli thank God for that blessing...

and i manage to churn out every thing by friday.. and handed in...

Last friday (23/10), performed for Orchard ION Grand Opening... it was sort of my first gig after NDP... didnt get any gig in between the time after NDP till the orchard gig...

Managed to see Wang Lee Hom and President Nathan Up close... but sadly no pictures of Wang Lee hom.. cox the security was damn tight.. cant even get close to him .. on another note.. the dancers for Wang Lee Hom was dope.. can realli feel them when they danced... fantastic... dunno wat crew they were leh ...

hmmm... didnt go Ministry Training Yesterday .. was down with fever.. slept throughout the entire day ... never was i so weak and tired before.. i onli woke up in the afternoon to grab some lunch... i literally skipped all my appointments ytd..

supposedly to go cut my hair, attend my cousin's baby first month celebration and then go for Ministry Training.. but i realli couldnt get down the bed...

Felt so much better this morning.. at least im not that weak and my fever is gone..

Currently in my lab now.. not doing much ... was given the "permission" to so called slack.. because my work is not in demand at the moment.. due to having to wait for the vendors to collect the drawings.. so i got more time to slowly draft my drawings and dimensions it... yeap... and the best part is i forgot to bring my Ext HDD, where my project files in it!!! so hence today gonna kinda slack thru... wahahha...

Alright.. supervisor around.. though can slack.. but must pretend im doing work.. so yeap... will update soon! =D

Take care people!!

Staring at the computer not doing anything...

Yuppz... staring at the computer literally not doing anything.. its 2:55am now in the morning...

Had like a big Ulcer in my upper gum of my mouth.. freaking painful... hate it when ulcers attack the gum... cox it hurts the most..

Practice at Strikeforce Studio was fruitful just now... managed to come out with something and tried it... kept doing it until like 12:15 am... took a cab home.. sponsored by Boon, my strikeforce head.. hahaha!

Guess later is gonna be another day of rotting for me at home... alright.. nothing much to update also...

will find something interesting to update soon!
stay tuned! =D

2009-09-11T01:48:00.002+08:00

Feeling somehow kinda empty....

Its 1:50am in the morning.. sitting in my room feeling kinda empty... somehow... alot of things went thru my brain and im feeling the headache.....

Pretty disappointed at this juncture with how some of my friends were.. i know i dun have the right to say about anybody.. but ....

Im sure recently.. all of u have heard of the Miss World Singapore Pageant, and with regards to Miss World herself...

soo.. some of my friends has shared with mi her youtube vids.. the one with leopard prints and whatnots... i admit the first time i watched it... i laughed... then it hit mi hard... and the following few days.. the vid was everywhere.. everyone sharing the vid with mi.. different version of how people made fun of her....

i was disappointed that those hurtful words came out from my friends.. christians friends... after i watched the vids... and i stopped and paused.. and realise that why am i even laughing at something that is not even supposed to laugh at...

i heard so many criticism with regards to her from my friends... okay.. lets put it this way... how would u feel if u are the one in her shoes?

let say u won something big.. and everyone is focusing on ur shortcomings, like hmm... u are short.. people dun like ur face.. how would u feel?

yes.. no doubt she won Miss World.. for wat reason i dunno... but since she has alreadi won.. she must have something that has of values and traits of a Miss World.. hence she won...

Everyone has shortcomings.. im sure u have urs too... but are we there to help each other up.. or laugh and trample on each other with their shortcomings? i tink the least we shld even do is to not laugh at her.

God has told us to love our enermies just as we love our neighbour... and the last shall be first and the first shall be last...

i mean dont she knows she have this shortcoming? im sure she do... and she is just not realli that eloquent in speech... and it must have taken her courage to even sign up for it... Shouldnt we focus on her good points instead of her bad? instead of pulling her down with her shortcoming... shouldnt we encourage her to press on and Shine for Singapore?

just put urself in her shoes, how will she feels when she won this award.. and yet the entire nation is pulling her down for something that she is not good at? everyone has good points and bad ones too... maybe she is more of a mathes and science student.. instead of languages? i dunno.. but i just feel that... everyone has weaknesses.. and she won the award based on her own strength..

if u wanna talk about being a nation, we cant even stand with her and edify her and encourage her when she represent singapore, wats there to talk about being a nation? everytime someone won something, there is bound to have talks on how bad the person is and whatnots.. so wats there to talk about representing singapore when we cant even stand together as one?

through this incident.. although it doesnt concern me, but i saw humanity.. i saw the reflection of how i used to be in the past... i saw the other side of people...

i guess thats all i wanna say... gonna hit the sack...

take care guys..

2009-09-09T18:35:00.005+08:00

Exams OVER! and its OUTING!

HAhahaa... okay... exams officially ended on tuesday 6pm... and it officially declares a big 1 1/2 months holidays for mi... unlike the other year 3s who onli had 2 weeks the most for holidays... thanks to the school that i still owe them 1 comp studies... so hence needa do that next sem during FYP...

Been going out pretty much ever since.. spent like i dunno how much money in a day to get clothes and bottoms... and im still buying! someone seriously needa stop me before i squander all my money off.. LOL!

Bought 2 realli nice apparels from Domanchi/ People of Asia and cineleisure respectively... if u have been to cineleisure.. im sure u might have come across this pushcart that sells digital music tee shirt.. its damn dope la... the design on the shirt is more of LED lights.. that connects to a sensor and the lights just kinda move accordingly to the music/noise from the surrounding thru the sensor... so bought a realli nice design one... will show u guys when i got the battery for the sensor and i take pic with it...

Another shirt i bought from People of Asia is a black buttoned tee from Domanchi.. kinda like it alot ever since the first time i saw it.. and all those that saw it likes it too... so bought that shirt as well...

next up will be bettle bug shoes... but that will have to wait till i get a job first! Applied a job at one of the archery range shop in suntec... so happen to pass by and mae went in to ask something.. and then we saw the notice for part time staff.. enquire bout it.. and wah lahhh.. filled in the application for the job.. realli hoping that they are gonna call mi to tell mi that i got it... =X

hmm... recently.. kinda ponder on the decision that i have to make.. and for those that are close.. i tink they know wat decision im making.. and i realli cant come to a decision... its like.. i wanted it so much.. but yet.. i dun have the courage to face it... all those that knew.. yes.. some told mi to be decisive... make a decision and stick to it.. some ask mi to think bout it carefully before making a move.. i realli dunno!!!

but i guess like no matter wat.. life still has to go on.. and i hope i can come to a good decision soon... its not easy.. it realli aint.. but i'll still come to decision soon...

Last Sunday was Strikeforce annual gathering.. and also appreciation for Neo.. he is flying back to south africa in a few weeks time... i will strongly remember his words for mi during NDP.. regarding the contribution i can contribute to strikeforce... and he is always there encouraging mi throughout the entire time..

i clearly remember there was this time i was realli stuck with the drumline sequences for NDP.. no matter how i try.. i just cant get it.. and he just realli slowly..very patiently.. break down the stuff for mi.. and taught mi all the parts that i dun realli know.. the timing and the break for it... and in the midst.. he just kept encouraging... at that point.. i was really on the verge of giving up but he just kept telling mi dun give up... i can do it.. and yes indeed.. i manage to grasp the sequence and play on time... credits all go to him for helping mi throughout that NDP journey..

i will also always remember the times we spent.. like both us dancing and goofing around when the music is playing and stuff... playing shakers and toys together during MTT... he is realli an inspiration.. at least to me...

Alright.. some visuals taken with him at the gathering!

NDP peeps.

SF Newbies 2009

take care people! update soon!
till then!

Just finished my first and second last paper on monday .... hmmmm kinda like flunk it eh.. but hope everything will pass la... Headed to Sumo House for lunch.. kinda like first time eating out with Ivan, Chuck and Timothy... hahaa.. and we headed for the arcade.. seriously.. i very long never go arcade play la... and well.. used to tink that arcade is realli a damn waste of money.. cox u use real money in exchange for fake tokens... and that the tokens will be taken out of the machine and re-used it again..

So to think of it.. its kinda dumb to play arcade.. BUT... somehow.. its okay to be dumb once in awhile.. hahaha! so we played Daytona and world combat.. FUN i would say! =)

Back to update!

This entire week has just been busy.. busy with so many things... but just not studies.. hahaha! went out everyday for like shopping for gifts... and also getting some apparels and bottoms for myself.. have yet to get the LED tee shirt and one of the shirt at P.O.A!

anyway... Met up with my secondary sch mates last friday (14/8/09)...

met up with them slightly later as i went to help Strikeforce video their performances for Youth Olympic Games Countdown...

headed to timbre @ substation to chill and relax... caught up with each other and well..it was realli a nice time to catch up... since we haven met up for quite a while...

Drank some mocktails there.. not bad.. well.. i dun drink.. so yea.. hahaha! if i remembered correctly.. the live band that night was Enigma... realli dope.. i like their renditions of the famous songs like "poker face" and " its my life"...

okay... here are some visuals taken that night at Timbre!

Alright... on another side of note... happens to walk past the Floating platform that day... and kinda saw the NDP stage being tore down... the "eye" gone and stuff.. cant help but feels a tinge of sadness inside though... i sort of have seen the stage built up from a soccer field to a gigantic stage.. and now its going back to becoming a soccer field... well.. i hope in the near future.. will be able to perform there once again... till then... Lets look forward for a brighter future ahead of us....

okaye.. thats all i have for now... got more stuff to update soon!
Till then.. take care! =)

National Day 2009

Alright! pardon me for onli updating the dead blog now.. been realli busy with all my projects submission and tests....

so im here to update on National Day.. which happens last week on August 9!

WARNING: it will be a very long post.. full of words and pictures.. u have been warned.. =)

it has been a long but yet fruitful and enjoyable journey i would say.. i still can clearly remember the day the selection came thru.. it was at strikeforce orientation finale.. was pretty elated that im selected...

Had our first trainin at Amoy Quee Camp... with Bloco Singapura.. was realli dumbfounded to learn that im playing the tamborins instead of drums... and totally suck at it.. Had a few changes here and there.. and then soon after the entire strikeforce were out of that segment... was told that we will be performing for Drumline..

Had our weekdays night training at Amoy Quee camp..and met our drumline instructor. Mr Dennis Sim.. and i was kinda surprised... cox i didnt expect it to be him... he is also NYP percussion team Instructor.. how small can the world be! LOL... training was kinda tough and tiring i would say.. hitting the mat for 2 hours plus.. doing upstroke and downstroke and double stroke... but no pain no gain eh? and of course.. with the most disturbing device ever... the metronome.. but no doubt it can realli helps alot in timing and keeping time while playing.. but its realli not easy and its rather irritating as well.. hahhaa..

Finally amidst all the waiting and training. the actual score for the performance came.. looks like whole loads of riddles and puzzles to me.. dun even know how to read... not to mention the sticking for it as well too.. and so we spent every sunday Ministry Training time to decipher all the notes and to play with it... GOT it in the end! Realised it wasnt that difficult to decode it afterall with all of us working together....

We Bid goodbye to Yio Chu Kang's Amoy Quee camp.. and we moved to Kranji Camp at Yew Tee.. thats where all the Catered food starts coming in! hahaaha! all the KFCs and stuff...

at Kranji Camp.. we mostly focus on Chapter 5.. the fast forward chapter and we met our instructors from sonofa... one cool bunch of people i would say... they totally just rock so much... realli enjoyed learning all the stuff from them.... not to mention all the fun and pranks we had!

Imitating all the choir dance moves was wat we do during our "free time" at the Make shift stage at the camp... was literally making a fool of ourselves.. or rather, just me.. hahaa!

but also not forgetting drumline.. all the times spent at the sheltered training shed... it somehow became our training area in the end.. remembered doing the sequences time and time again during the weekdays just so that i can get it right on saturday.. and yes.. my effort was paid off when eventually im able to play on time and improved alot...

Bided Goodbye to Kranji Camp and we moved to the Floating Platform at Marina Bay.. First time being there... never see such a huge mega setting before.. with all the participant all of us working together to make things work.. of course first combined rehearsal was alright... still can improve.. and from there.. every week... we kept improving..the shows gets better and better... tings starts to form up and look better... although we had our difficult times due to the tight security... but its all for the better good of the entire show....

And yes.. saturdays was the most anticipating day for mi in a week.. because its always better than being in school and stuck with projects.. slowly.. we moved on to NE shows... with all the kids there.. realli gave an adrenaline booster to me.. still can remember having major butterflies on NE1... Not forgetting the heavy Downpour on that very first NE show... realli memorable!

Then tings get better.. the army officers watched the performance and gave many encouraging compliments... it just realli spurred mi to do better..

i remember every week before our turn to perform at the evening show.. there is this army officer who realli enjoyed my performance and every week.. never fail he will come and encourage mi and show support... its realli very delightful to see that someone enjoys our performance that much even though its just a one minute drumline segment...

As time moves closer to Aug 9th... tings are more or less confirmed and all we have to do is just to practice and rehearse...

Aug 9th came... the day we all been anticipating for.. security checks were tighter.. everything was in place for the biggest annual celebration... and then 6:50pm... we went up to the podim to perform for the entire nation.

everything went so well that day.. my IEM.. never was it so crystal clear before.. i can hear every single beat coming from it.. and playing exactly to it... even the final pose for the chapter gave mi a shock.. cox its totally different and its nice.. i have been racking my brains for poses for weeks but to no avail...

Chapter 5 was the best.. somehow its the first time i manage to groove while grinding sparks.. (something which i tried every week but failed)... everything went so well for the chapter.. no hiccups...

Finale was the bomb... everyone just had a time of their life on stage with the nation... the pledge moment was realli touching i have to say.. i didnt cry of course.. but it certainly added alot more meaning this time when i said it... for once in a long time.. i actually feels proud reciting it... and the remix of the national anthem is the best! best mix of the national anthem i have ever heard of in my 20 years of life..

Crashed around cameras on the stage and literally went high.. some of us ran around the entire stage crashing pictures with the other performers.. (of course we did ask permission)... and i tink we amounted quite a lot of shots in that short span of an hour or so... had an after party on the stage..

well.. coming to an end.. NDP journey has brought me many laughters and joy... forging new friendships... learning new skills... and the sense of fulfillment is realli tremendously great... i just wanna thank you strikeforce for adding so much extra colours into my life.. and making this entire joruney such a wonderful one... all the laughters and all the crazy moments we go thru... thought NDP has ended.. but im sure there will be even better and greater chances awaiting for us in the near future!

Remaining Visuals..

One Band, One Sound!

Last but not least!
HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!

Random Update....

Didnt go to school today.. due to a realli bad Sore throat and a running temperature in my body.. felt totally weak from top to toe...

i know i have been realli into NDP... hahaha.. even this morning when i woke up.. intending to go to sku.. but yet felt weak all over.. the first thoughts that came to my mind aint school or projects.. its more of like.. "damn.. why now i fall sick?! i have to get well by Saturday!"

hmm how to put it.. hahahaa.. i guess like in a week.. school is so mundane enough that the only ting i look forward to is saturday.. due to NDP.. its like the time i can realli let go and not tink of anything else... and enjoy my time in NDP with the rest of the strikeforce peeps..

But However.. im heading school tmr... because i have tons of work needa finished up.. wanted to like get some tings done today though im at home.. but my energy level is realli low.. slept like 6 hours in the afternoon... LOL!

Okaye.. remember strikeforce did a video trailer of NDP for the church? well.. heres the vid!
i have to say its kinda like super cool.. so do enjoy! =D

Credits to Ian...

Festival Of Praise (FOP) is Coming Right up! hahha Tmr to be exact.. from the 31st July to 2 Aug! but sadly... im onli going for the one on 2 Aug...

cox i guess like tmr i had some many tings to do... and i onli end sku at like 5 plus 6.. by time i reach the indoor stadium.. i would be refuse entry as the service has started... then on 1 Aug.. is NDP Preview 1 (for the public)... so hence can onli make it for FOP on sunday the 2nd of Aug...

ALL the best for those strikeforce peeps that are involved in FOP performance! wished i could perform as well.. but oh well.. i cant always have tings my way... others needa have a chance at that too... =D

im just hoping something will change... and then i will be in F1 Gig for strikeforce... or Youth Olympic Games... but if not... well.. the earth still rotates.. HAHAH!

im not gonna be like sad or anything just cox i didnt get into these Gigs... because i know there will be more gigs coming.. and it gives mi more time to train on pieces like flightphesy... and FHW (the water drums)... and then by then... i will be good enough to realli play for other gigs before i hit the Botak Journey next year!

on another note... Foreign Bodies is performing at DXO on 1 Aug.. right next to Floating platform! hahaha! so do lend ur support if u wanna watch Foreign Bodies performance.. if im not wrong.. its 8.30pm at DXO... =)

Hmm.... well.. kinda sad that NDP is realli coming to an end.. like its been a realli great journey for all of us... from dun realli know each other to realli play together as one... it has been a great fulfilling journey and experience for me...

To be honest... a few months back... when i was told i was chosen to perform for NDP.. i just see it as another big event ... and the thoughts of being involved in it didnt realli sink in... it was when we hit the floating platform.. then i came to realise and the tot realli sink in.. and it sink in deep...

alright alright.. shall talk more bout last week NE 3!

The disabled and elderly gets to watch NDP as well! hahaha! i tink its realli a memorable day for all of them.. from wat i heard.. some of them are watching NDP live for the first time in their entire life...

Hmmm.. my dad and sis came... and they thoroughly enjoyed the show! i asked them for their feedback.. and i tink for my dad.. its realli different.. its been a realli long time since he last watch and NDP live.. and wats more on the Floating platform... and he realli enjoyed it!

During break time.. We did a filming for the church video announcement.. afterall.. strikeforce is from the church.. and the church wanna keep the members updated of wat is the happenings and stuff going on in the church.. so hence we did a video filming and some photo shoot for the video announcement.. hahaha..

afterwhich.. got prepared for the big show in the evening... and wah lahh.. heads off for the big show.... hahaha!

While waiting backstage for chapt 5... haha! i manage to shake hands with Gurmit Singh.. and we took pictures with him and Michelle Chong as well.. but so far.. i haven got the pics... shall post it up when i got it! =D

NDP National Educational Show 2!

Alright.. Finally able to blog.... wanted to blog a few days ago.. but blogger seem to have some problem.. the create post box literally went missing... cannot take it and decided to do something bout it.. and wah lah... problem solved! hence im blogging again!

OKAYE! NE 2!

hmmm i would say it wasnt as high as NE 1 because there is no rain.. but it all went super smooth... nice weather and great atmosphere i must say.. the p5 kids for NE 2 are so much better than Ne 1 i would say ( i tink)... hahahaa!

this time i brought everything and made sure i didnt left anything at home! hahaha!

hmmm... did a performance for Okto Channel and Suria... as you can see.. there is a camera man running around.. yuppz.. thats the mediacorp cameraman...

well... i have to say i do enjoy Bloco Singapura Performance.. their music is more groovy.. hahaha.. well.. u cant see me in the vid because im at the other side from the view of the camera and also kena blocked by David's big Bass! hahhaa!

hmmm.. did a few rehearsals in the afternoon... and man was it surprising... didnt know that the army guys (marching contingent) are resting at the seats to watch the total defence display.. and when we went out.. i was pretty shocked to see all the seats near the podium filled...

all along i tot the rehearsals was gonna be nobody there... so didnt realli prepare to perform infront of all those army guys.. so moral of the story... every practice is a performance and every performance is a performance.. NOW i get it! hahaha! always be prepared...

SO i did wat i have to do.. and well.. the army guys aint too bad.. they were cheering mi all the way... and as i was walking back.. i didnt know that the commander was sitting there watching me as well! he spoke to me and complimented.. realli glad that he enjoyed it...

went up to the podium for the evening show.... and something funnie happen.. i tink that day is the "drop stick" day... some of us dropped our stick while playing.. and that include me.. i dropped my stick.. but mine is not so bad... i managed to catch it before it hits the ground.. hahaha..

then chapter 5.. another shocking one.. hahaha.. went up... took the grinder... on the switch..and the grinder did not even move an inch! LOL! immediately took out my stick and start drumming alreadi.. hahaha.. it was at a later part after the performance that they told us the guy whos in charge of the electricity on my side of the stage was on MC... so hence that night.. the power was not on for my side.. hence grinder didnt move.. and no sparks...

But no worries.. im sure this week its gonna be better!
Upcoming NE 3! my dad and my sis will be coming.. just passed my 2 tickets to them... i tink this is the first time for my dad to watch NDP at the floating platform.. hahaha.. shall ask him how it is after the show! wahhahaa!

Alright... as usual visual time!

The Very FIRST NDP National Education Show!

Whoo Hoo! NDP First National Education show was realli successful! Everyone realli enjoyed themselves thru out the entire show!

Lets break it down from the morning !

Reached Eunos Station at bout 1030am to grab the chartered bus by NDP people.. and then waited for time to pass... and then something shocking came... Glorianne arrived and i saw her shoe bag... and i realised i FORGOT my costume shoes! it literally dawned on mi that out of all the tings i brought.. i left out one of the most important item..

Called my dad immediately to ask him to bring it down for mi to cityhall station... realli thanks to him for bringing my shoes down.. if not i can forget bout performing for that day....

Rushed down to the F1 grand stand to meet up with the rest.. and headed out to the holding area... Had a dry run at our podiums.. and this time.. all of us were given In ear monitor (I.E.M).... its sounds kinda cool though.. like everytime we watch concerts and stuff.. we often see those artists wearing ear monitors..and sometimes i do wonder wat they are they listening.. is it the people talking at the controls or is it the musics that they are supposed to do???

and so this time.. i had one myself too.. and for mine.. we are listening to the music that we have to play..and play according to the what we hear from the ear monitor...

we were told to perform even if its a dry run.. so i gave my best shot.. did watever i could on my podium.. and wats realli delighted mi was when i was walking back to the stairs.. those army officers that was around my area spoke to mi and complimented me for my performance.. was realli delighted that they enjoyed the "performance"

back at the holding area.. rested... lunched... slacked.. chill.... to be honest.. almost 70% of the time at NDP rehearsals.. we were chillin and slackin.. heading to 7-11 for drinks... cam whore... and stuff...

then not long after we rested.. we got changed into our costume to prepare for the actual preview in the evening.. and then.. we saw an incoming of ladies.... the make up artist... hahaha! well.. felt like a star though... had professional make up artists to help with the make up... although im quite reluctant for the make up.. but no choice...

Had some photo shoots with "The Straits Times" Newspaper as they are featuring Neo in it.. Bloco Singapura was on Newpaper... then after that.. it was Camwhore time all the way!

Thats Leonard on the left!

Elisa!

Decided to do some jump shot!
One take and we got it!

But after that....
Cramppped!!!!! Both my calves! -.-

okaye.. get ready for this ONE!
one unglam photo for u guys to laugh at!
yea yea.. laugh all u want!
it was taken in the midst of making up..
and i forgot i still got the hair clip ON!

Tadah.. final outcome!

Headed to the Floating Platform for the actual Preview... and man was i having major butterflies in my stomach... its like the real deal alreadi.. even though its just a NE show... Headed out and the next ting i saw was tons and tons of Cameras and flashlights! the kids all have camera sia... talk bout generation gap eh... p5 kids holding Digi cam...

and of course not onli the kids... the NDP photographer as well with their High Def Canon DSLR and Nikon...

Stood up at my podium and the sight was just simply awesome.. one whole sea of kids in red.. and then the music came... Performed like to the max and thoroughly enjoyed myself performing... and then 1 rolling camera (as in those that broadcast) and 2 NDP photographers with the cameras were right infront of me snapping me right in the face.. hahahaa... BUT somehow.. i tink i not good looking.. so dun have the pics.. tried finding it.. but dun have..must be the looks i tink.. hahaha!!

okok... get back to topic...

Changed for Chapt 5... and Grinded sparks and played for the chapter... super shiok the feeling... indescribable! Must watch chapt 5! u wont wanna miss it... Ian told us that if got chance... we ourselves must watch chapt 5.. because its a chapt that is one of the highlights.. and the music.. lighting effects, pyro and fireworks are realli amazing...

Then changed, again, to get ready for the Grand Finale...

Headed out to the stage for the grand finale... and we were alreadi quite high.. but guess wat! when the fireworks shoot up.. the moment it went.. just AS IF it was planned... THE RAIN POURED! and it gets bigger and bigger!

BUT Nobody flinged or tried seeking for shelter.. all of us stood there and partied even more like nobody business.... the rain just simply added an even higher climax to the entire finale.. the Kids were too high themselves too! Even the Minster of Defence, Mr Teo Chee Hean, was in the rain himself.. he was soaked too... but i guess this is wat we call one united people...

it was also my very first time seeing and being in an NDP whereby it rained... first time singing the National Anthem and saying the pledge in the rain... it was definitely a very memorable experiences for all of us... one that would realli last make us realli remember that day of NDP 2009 very first NE show...

To sum it up... i would say NDP NE Show 1 Rocked the most till date... but im sure on the actual day.. it will be even better!

alright some more visuals!
(pics are all grabbed from NDP sites and other photographers..)

Alright! thats it from me for NDP updates! will be back to blog soon !
Take care! =D

....Updates....

Alright... in the midst of studying..for the paper later on at 430pm... well.. taking a break hence gonna come here and update some stuff...

Many tings have been going recently... NDP Combined Rehearsals.. Common tests and also the demise of one of my uncles.

The Demise

Although im not realli close to him... and its like i onli see him once a few years.. been a long time i last saw him... didnt realli had a good impression of him also when i was young.. but somehow as i sat at the service, i can realli see that even though he hasnt realli been the realli good guy to probably some of my relatives, but they still care alot for him... they were realli crying and tearing at the demise of him...

he wasnt very old either... it realli brought mi to light that no matter how bad one is... there are still people that cares and concern about the person... because everyone makes mistakes in life.. and even if the whole world dun stand by you, parents and relatives will always be the ones there standing right next to you.

Probably to me, he may not be someone realli that significant.. because im realli not close to him, but seeing how my aunts and the rest were, it does show that he is significant to someone else.. to them.. and he most probably had made some really good memories and happy fond memories in their life when he is still around.

Rest in Peace.

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

Alright moving on!

Last saturday was NDP combined rehearsal 3! it was one hell of a crazy day for all of us.. How to put it? it was one of the rehearsals with the most screw ups and yet it was also one of the rehearsals whereby we had the most fun!

well.. Combined Rehearsal 3 was a special one because they have allowed 20,000 people to watch.. its open to SAF participants' families and friends because i tink if im not wrong.. its the SAF family day or something... whereby the NSF get to see their families and stuf.. but for those participant (NSF)... they were given tickets to invite their parents and friends to come and watch.. so hence explain the 20,000 audiences.

For screw ups, because of the tight security, they have kept blocking us from getting access to places whereby we needa get there... and we were told that we are not bounded by them.. so in other words.. they actually have no rights to stop us..

for the show in the evening.. we were told to go to this location at the stairs.. but yet we were blocked.. time was running out.. they realli dun let us go... in the end Ian screamed at the MP and we just heck care chiong all the way to our position... To be honest.. i tink quite alot of us were pissed at them as well. alot of miss communication and stuff.. but then again.. rehearsals are meant to be screwed up so that problem can be rectify and solved for a better outcome of the actual show.....

Now the FUN part! Im grinding sparks for one of the chapters.... and YES.. finally this time they provided us with the grinder and the power socket for us.. so i was literally enjoying myself and grinding sparks effect for the performance.. i bet all the grinders were exhilerated and was enjoying the grinding.. hahaa!

The whole Show took its climax at the finale.. Loads of fireworks were shot and the atmosphere was super high... everyone was like partying like crazy on the stage.. hahaha! overall it was realli a great show despite the screw ups

OH yea! this year concept is different in terms of the show is not in act 1 or act 2 etc etc.

watch it as if u were reading a book.. everything is in chapters.. total of 10 chapters. and the whole show concept is based on the pledge.. meaning to say every chapter.. each chapter is part of the pledge.. and it shows the beginning of singapore to the recent date of singapore..

i hope with the elaboration.. u guys can enjoy the show a lil better...

okaye! Visual time yet again!

Verena!
Catch her on TV.. she will be on the screen!
Shawn
Neo!
Hes a South African Guy!
Jason
Bloco Singapura in Action!

Alright thats all i have for u today!

all the best for Common test people!
take care!

Back Again

Alright.. im back to blog.. its bout 2am in the morning right now... dunno why for no reason... i kinda feel very empty inside.. like all of a sudden...

Later on in the day there is FB meeting.. and somehow.. i feel a little awkward yet a litter out of place... like because i haven been going back to FB for a while due to NDP and stuff.. somehow i felt like im so distant from all of them... all the times i realli wanted to go for their meetings and stuff... help them out in watever ways they need help... but i guess like for mi at this moment.. with NDP going on... i realli cant be of any help to them...

i kinda misses the last times with them.. the crazy mass convo in msn and the outings etc etc... i guess like for all of them.. their bond are even tighter now and stuff..
im realli sorie guys that im rather useless to u all right now... because of my committments and stuff... but i do hope that all of us can still be like a real family in FB.. i just feel really bad that im always not there for them... to support them in competitions and stuff..

alright.. moving onn....

NDP Combined rehearsal on saturday was A BLAST! it was the first time EVERYONE, including the parade and all the other performers come together... and as i stood up onto that huge mega stage... never would i have tot my childhood dream would ever come true... and most of them are also thinking the same...
The feeling was indescribable as i stood there looking at 27,000 seats from the stage... maybe because i have never been part of such a mega huge event before thats why im having those feelings..

and wat was even more happening was that they realli do the show just as if it was the actual show itself.. with pyro flamings and not to mention. THE FIREWORKS! all the sec school kids and primary school kids performers went gaga and crazy when the fireworks was shot... so guys.. if u wanna catch some fireworks.. just be around marina bay at evening till night time.. u will catch some fireworks.. BUT NO GUARANTEE hor..

This coming sat is the 2nd last Combined rehearsals.. and after next week.. the following week is the very first National Education Previews for the Primary 5 kids... hence its pretty fast i have to say... and from then on.. its all live show with real audiences all the way till the actual show on 9th August...

A little something for u guys.. the official launch for this year theme song will be on 2nd of july... so hence.. u all will get to hear the theme song from that day onwards.. wat song is it.. i also dunno.. neither have i heard it before..

alright.. aint gonna be a spoiler to leak out all the tings on NDP .. Catch it on August 9th! its thoroughly different this year i have to say ..

Okaye... now is Visuals time! =)

Alright.. the Army or the govt hasnt been too bad to us.. they provided us food and drinks! and of course.. they are all FREE! hahaha!

Old Chang Kee!!!

Milo!! my favourite!
and its realli refreshing on that hott day!

Yuppz! the gun salute is on the water this year!

Mini-Emerge/ NDP 2009

Alright! finally able to be back here to update my "dead" blog... because its... finally "HOLIDAYS" so to speak... to put it in a nice.. its holiday.. but otherwise.. its more of study break... because after these 2 weeks.. its common test.. well.. lets focus on the positive side...

Okaye.. Emerge has well been over for bout 2 weeks... the photos are out and so here they are!

That's Jason on top!
This was taken at Jurong West Church

That's GIN!

NDP 2009!

First thing first! we are moving in to Marina Bay floating Platform this week!!!!! Tomorrow to be exact! wahahaha! super excited.. i cant wait to see the big setting of the stage and stuff.. cox i have been seeing them all along on facebook pictures.. tmr will be able to see it real.. and even got the chance to stand on it!

well... although im realli excited to move to marina bay platform.. but on the other hand.. im having mixed feeling as well.. because moving into marina bay platform would means previews are coming.. and soon after.. the actual show.. and after which.. everything will form up to be just memories etched in my life...

From the beginning at Amoy Quee Camp... the long walk up the hill and the never ending declaration of handphones... to Kranji Camp at Yew Tee.. under the hot sun and the make shift layout of the stage.. the usual training shed that we practice our drumlines stuff.. now to finally moving in to marina bay platform...

i guess like im realli gonna miss NDP once everything is over... no doubt this will be my largest show ever ... but the experience that i got is realli different.. its realli like heartwarming to see everyone coming together and helping each other out to make all these thing happens...

although sometimes u do hear mi sort of "complain" that im stressed and stuff.. but realli.. i still love the experience im getting out of NDP.. and also like im sure everyone wants the best for the show.. at the very least is to get my parts perfected.. i dunno if in the future will such opportunities ever come again but for now.. i just know i had to cherish every single moment i had practicing with the rest of strikeforce and also the rest of the other people in the show.. be it whether i perform on that day anot.. its no longer important... because its the process that counts... i would realli love to perform on that day.. but if i dont.. i alreadi had one of the best experiences.... So lets jiayou together and realli make NDP 2009 a Dope one! =D

Below are some vids i found on NDP 2009! some realli funnie ones also.. especially those with Mr Brown.. yea that famous blogger.. Check it out!

Mr Brown with the Choir

Mr Brown with DRUMFEST! but no strikeforce people inside...

NOW.. presenting the stage for NDP 2009!

alright... thats all i have for u guys so far! if u guys dun have tickets for NDP.. fret not.. u can catch the rehearsals at marina bay platform every saturday... just hang around that area or go some bridge where u can see the platform.. wahhaha!

okaye.. take care people!

2009-06-02T20:41:00.016+08:00

Finally Have Some time to do some Updating!!

Alright.. i finally had some time to slack and come update this dead blog of mine...
been really busy with NDP training.. Strikeforce Emerge training, dance and of course my school assignments! the work are pilling up like nobody business....

Alright! First Up!

Mini- Emerge!

It was really fun and i realli enjoyed myself performing with the strikeforce for this event.. its the very first time im performing in the church.. and its also the first time i get to see pastor Kong up close! hahaha!

What kinda shocked mi in the middle of the performance was the fire! Nobody told mi that there were gonna be fire churning out as visual effects during the performance.. and boy.. i was right in front of the fire... hahaha.. not very close though.. but it still gave mi a shock.. haha.. but overall.. its cool! cant wait to see the vid for our performance!

Here are some visuals taken during the REHEARSAL of Emerge!

Oh yea! Gin, Theresa, Jasmine and Kyle was Dancing for the event too!
With Jacky as the beat boxer !

NDP Practice!

Alright.. NDP practices is still underway.. and its getting tougher and tougher... the Segment that i liked the most.. the industrial one.. became one of the segment that i dread the most.. cox they totally changed the whole sequence for the Oil barrel.. the one before was so easy and so much fun.. fun because its easy .. but im sure i can overcome this challenge... just need more time to practice on the new sequence and the sticking for it!

For the Drumline... im trying my best to play and keep time.. because i know i have the tendancy to speed up in the middle.. so hence im realli trying hard to play and being able to keep time! Hopefully i can be one of 24 drummers performing...

Alright.. More visuals taken at the Army campsite.. i know i know.. its prohibited to even bring a camera phone.. but somehow.. we forgot the rules.. and snap and snap away with the REAL CAMERA! hahahaa!!!!

And while we are marking out our stuff for the other segment...
we were having fun on our own with the music that was played! hahaha!

By the way, we were Dancing the macarena Dance just so u wonder,
but somehow it seems like we are doing morning exercise! -.-

For my studies.. the work are pilling up like crazy... been staying up late and sometimes.. not even sleeping just so to finish the work that has to be done..

To sum it up.. this last few weeks had been realli crazy and pure madness for mi ... but nonetheless.. im still hanging on and relying on God's strength to pull through all that still has to come! =D

Alright! Have fun people!
and take care!

2009-05-23T02:14:00.002+08:00

Life's Still Going On.....

Well.. i know i haven been blogging and the blog been kinda dead for weeks..
So ta-dah! im here to give some updates!

FIRST THING FIRST!

Congratulations to all the juniors that have made it through Foreign Bodies Auditions! U guys have been great.. Always have a good learning attitude and a passion for dance! it will bring u guys far.. but of course with loads of hardwork and practices.. =))

Come to think of it.. i kinda get back the nostalgic feeling of the time when i first step into the studio last year for FB orientation... and played the same game that they played... the ABCD game... it has realli been a wonderful journey for mi as a junior in FB.. and i hope that all the junior can have the same great journey as a junior as well in FB! ALL the best! Jiayou! =)))

Alright.. i have been realli busy for the past few weeks... School work is giving mi a toll on life... So many assignments.... Next week is like presentations week.. meaning formal wear and tie... talk and talk and talk.. and also the deadline for all the respective assignment.. how i wish time can like freeze here.. so i can do all that i wanna do .. hahha! but dun worry.. im managing...

And also.. School work aside.. been busy with Strikeforce and NDP training as well..
There has been some slight changes so hence i wont be playing Global Day of Prayer.. but instead i will be playing for MINI- EMERGE!!! hahahaa..

Im super excited when i got the news.. because i have never been to emerge.. would realli love to go.. but this time... i had a greater blessing.. is that i get to go and i also get to even perform for it... hence im realli excited!

Went for NDP trainin on Thursday... and we finally get to see the drums for NDP!! its WHITE... and it just simply look superbly cool! i saw the Quad- Tomes that i will be playing for NDP... and i have to say... 'oh man.. that ting is heavy'... the quad tomes was realli kinda heavy when i carried it... but overall.. it sounded not bad and the sticking and playing is just cool... we just have to be a lil more tighter and be able to play along with the metroneum.. then im sure the whole segment will be Dope. =)

So.. heres my upcoming schedule for performances/shows to watch/etc etc..
Both Strikeforce and Foreign Bodies

31st May- Mini Emerge [Strikeforce]

12th June- Lunchtime Concert [Foreign Bodies]

28th June- The Big Groove

Updates...

Hey guys... back to update some stuff...

Shall try my best not to leave stagnant at this rather depressing stage of my life.. somehow seems like things aint going smooth in my life.. but i just wanna realli extend my thanks to all those that are around mi.. encouraging mi and being realli patient with mi...

I'm still realli trying very hard to not go and think so much about wat happened on last friday...

Went for Drum Training today to prepare for the upcoming Gigs on May 31st.. its gonna be a big one.. for its the Global Day of Prayer (GDOP)... so hence realli needa train hard..

Learnt bout cross hand drumming today.. and somehow.. at that moment it seems like history is repeating itself... Was told to come up one by one to do cross hand drumming.. and of course that haunting memory came back... so i kept training and doing till i can reach a certain speed... but its exactly as wat happened at FB audition..

I was doing well DURING practices.. but when i went up.. things went wrong.. and just now when i went up.. everyone was confident that i can do it... because they saw mi practices with my sticks.. but history repeated itself again.. before i could even start.. i cant even remember the first hit... but thankfully to my strikeforce mates.. they were more relaxed and they just encourages mi... and i managed to finished cross hand drumming in a pretty fast speed... as in the speed of drumming..

Alright.. shall update some NDP stuff...

NDP rehearsals has been going well.. at least for mi ... i kinda enjoyed every single NDP trainings.. Kept learning new tings and improving in my beats..

Later on is NDP trainings for Drumline.. pretty nervous.. the cheorographer has decided to choose onli 24 drummers to perform for the segment... realli hope im one of them.. after learning and training so hard for it.. wouldnt realli want to end up being a reserve.. i do hope ALL 30 drummers will get to perform!

And also.. im looking forward to one of the segments that strikeforce will be playing in NDP.. we are playing with Stuff likes Ladders, Oil barrels, Railing etc etc... and wats even cooler is that we will be entering the stage in Rescue Trailers!
p.s: rescue trailers are like those fire engine...
Pretty looking forward to that!

Okaye.. some pics to show u guys!

Yuppz.. those are the Stage settings for this year National Day Parade...

Shall end here i guess.. dun have much to update..
School's at 8am tmr... 3 hours lab straight early in the morning.. -.-

Alright.. take care people..

2009-05-09T01:16:00.002+08:00

Disappointed

Seriously right now.. i have no words to describe how disappointed i am with myself...

everything that can went wrong with mi today had all went wrong...

Firstly, in class lab session... i accidentally caused a power trip in the entire lab and because of that.. the entire class... some of them didnt save their work.. and its 3D drawings... and the lecturer has no way of getting the electricity back hence the class was dismissed early.. after drawing for 3 hours plus... i was alreadi on the verge of killing myself for causing that... i realli didnt mean to but the facts remain that i caused an electric short circuit and people's 3 hours of hard work and drawings has all been gone to waste...

Secondly, for FB audition, i should have just know better to glue myself to the floor and sit there... but no.. i had to screw everything up... i have nothing to say bout how bad and lousy i was...

For now.. i realli have no words other than disappointment and more disappointment in myself...

it has come to a point whereby i feel that 'sorry" no longer works for mi to say that.. i dunno wat i can do to redeem myself from all that mistakes... i realli dont know..

Later on is National Day Parade Rehearsals from 1pm to 8pm.. i dunno how im gonna bring myself to do that after what has happened.

Disappointed.

2009-05-08T02:06:00.002+08:00

Feeling kinda depressed...

well... to be honest.. im kinda depressed right now..
i'm sorry that i can be quite an irritant sometimes.. yes.. i know that...
i will try my best to change... but please guys.. give mi some time...
thanks...

anyway.. something to liven up stuff here!

TEACHER: Maria, go to the map and find North America .
MARIA: Here it is.

Just a Little Update (i guess)

Alrighty! i have just woke up not long ago at 3am.... to finish up some assignments that i have on hand... all the mundane stuff that has to be done... (Yes.. this is how crazy i can get when it comes to work!)

Im currently Spamming Kenny G's Music on my Notebook man... His music just never fails to calm mi down when everything is in their ups and downs... i was just thinking if im in the US right now... I'll probably do the same ting in a nice cozy room drinking Latte or Cappucino.. Working my ass off but yet enjoy and indulge in the simplest ting at the same time.

So let mi see wat can i update....

National Day Parade!

Alright.. there has been some changes to NDP performances regarding the drumming parts.. so hence i will be playing the drums!!!! instead of the tamborins... and its gonna be in this segment whereby onli less than 30 drummers will be on stage drumming in the drumline... its superbly cool i have to say...

Went for NDP training on Labour Day and i have to say its definitely a time i realli learnt something new... to be honest.. i never read music scores before and i dunno how to either... but thanks to all my great mate from Strikeforce... they realli taught mi slowly as to how to realli read and understand music scores... Thanks Guys!

Then the NDP Chairman ( i tink) came and spoke to us to say welcome and stuff... and he actually somehow told us the programme of NDP and when we come out and perform and stuff ... i dunno if i can release anything on my blog for now because the press has not released yet... but this year... its truly different from the other years.. because Drumming will be heavily focused in this year NDP... and just by listening to wat he say.. i have to say i felt excited for it... and no doubt this will be my biggest show ever.....

The Chairman even break down the numbers of people we will be performing to...

1 show @ Marina Bay, The Float = 27,000 People
5 shows @ Marina Bay, The Float = 27,000 X 5 = 135,000 people
(4 previews and 1 actual show)

And of course the actual show will include live recording and plus the nations watching.. that will be... Millionsssss!!!!

Okaye alright.. hes just trying to stress how big the show is and how focus we have to be because if one person make a mistake.. its pretty obvious especially in drumming because its is sounds and stuff...

alright.. lets move on!

Foreign Bodies!

Okaye... Audition is this upcoming thursday and friday @ A239, right beside Theatre for the Arts!

Im amazed as to how time can really flies... So fast im a senior alreadi! it just realli seem like its yesterday that i have made a big decision to even try out the auditions @ Fbodz... and of course after that.. going for practice every friday... just kinda miss the good old days... now that we are all seniors... time will be allocated to the new batch of Juniors that are coming in... and as a matter of fact.. i seriously have no confidence in becoming a senior.. because i seriously know my vocab in DAnce is still super limited... and i shld have known alot more than wat i know by now.. and i realli gotta improve in DAnce... no matter wat it is... i still have to improve!!!

i guess like im so caught up with so many activities nowadays that as i look back.. i kinda miss the guy who started out confidently in Dance.. even when he just knew that lil much on DAnce... i guess if u guys look back as well.. u all will agree that the confident boy whos never afraid to try, even though he might be wrong, is somehow missing in action... i hope he comes back soon....

Nonetheless.. all the best to all those that are going for the Audition to try to get into Fbodz... GOOD LUCK!

A Small Little Thank....

i was on the bus the other day and i was just thinking.. how come im so caught up with so many tings nowadays... but then looking at it from another angle... somehow God has realli blessed mi in the tings that i realli wanted...

i never knew i would get into FBodz... but somehow in some part of myself.. i do realli wanna be a part of it... and God just realli knows.. i mean he knows all things! -.-
but getting into FBodz... it certainly changed my life in one big turn... Knowing all the hiphopish and probably the coolest people in my life ever has certainly enriched my life even more...

i just wanna thank FBodz for helping mi become wat i am today because if its not for them.. i'll probably still be someone who doesnt know much bout Dance and still thinks im damn good in dance.. so yea.. thanks FBodz for realli letting me know what Dance realli is!

For Strikeforce... i haven forgotten u guys.. although it has been just a mere 2 months ever since we all got to know each other.. but i feel realli good and fantastic being able to drum along with u guys... and one amazing ting bout my entry to strikeforce is that... on the day i signed up... they were SUPPOSEDLY to end their recruitment.. but they have requested to have one more day of recruitment.. and so happened.. i signed up on that day...

actually i have given alot of thoughts about joining... and there is this part of mi that is urging mi to Join... and somehow.. when i wrote the applications and go thru the interviews.. i just know i have to go ahead with it.. even though im all alone when i first joined...

And amazingly.. i got in as well.. i dunno wats the reason that im chosen (the same goes for FB).. but watever the reason is.. im sure God has His ways of doing tings...

I just feel realli blessed to be in these 2 big families of Foreign Bodies and Strikeforce Respectively... and yes.. definitely the greatest thanks goes to HIM for blessing mi with all these wonderful people in my life...

Alright... shall stop here!! i've wrote more than wat i planned to.. its supposed to be a LITTLE update... guess it aint that little anymore.. =x

okay! take care people!
Will upate soon! =)

NYP CLUB CRAWL 2009!

Hey Yo!!!

NYP Club Crawl has finally come to a close for the year of 2009!
A BIG thank you to all those that has came down to Support Foreign Bodies Performance!!! thank you!!

Club Crawl Day 1!

Well... Day 1 was the day where we had the most number of people signing up for audition... but personally to mi .. Day 1 wasnt realli good for mi ...

After the introduction by the Emcees... the music was on.... cyphering started...
At that moment.. all i can think off is my steps... and i was so not prepared.. but the show has started.. and it has to go on.. so with all i got.. i went out... did the guys cheoro with all i can...

Rushed out immediately after Guys Hip Hop to change into Lyrical costume.. and i have to thank my friends who are in student union.. they had kindly given mi a space to change.. hahaha! okaye.. back to the topic...

After changing.. went back into queue for Lyrical item.. but something happened.. the place was really dry.. my throat suddenly starts to choke up... i desparately look for water.. but aint enough time... so having no choice.. i went out and did lyrical in a realli choked up throat... Immediately ran out and grab water after lyrical.. if not i tink i will end up in the hospital... its so dry that i cant realli breathe la..

Mass Dance for the first day was alright for mi.. not too much of mistakes..

And after the whole entire performance.. there are like Tons of people queueing up at Fbodz booth to sign up for audition...

but to be realli honest.. DAy 1 Performance really wasnt my best .. and i have to admit im realli not on form on day 1.

Club Crawl Day 2!

Alright Day 2 ! hahahaha.. i guess i was too demoralised from Day 1 that i told myself i die die must feel the music and the vibe on day 2.. So i kept reminding myself that im gonna kill it on DAy 2...

WHOo hoo.. DAy 2 indeed was much better! i was realli on form compared to day 1...
give all out for all my genres and of course mass dance as well! hahahaa.. but a slight mistakes i made during mass dance was i fell down!~ hahha!!!

i was supposed to kneel and slide to sherlyn.. but who knows, the floor was so slippery that i slided too fast.. and hence i have to make an emergency stop which i fell in the end.. if not i will hit onto sherlyn! hahaha!

Some comments given by the Seniors!

Ian: The entire show was alot better than the past 2 years.. Energy Level was realli there and it was overall a very good show... a little part to improve is that there are too many Hip hop Songs.. can go into more genres.... but song choices are good this year!

Rachel: You( as in mi) are very enthusiastic.. which is good.. energy level is there and u have improved!

Nicholas Phua: You have certainly improved ever since i last saw you During Production.. the control is there.. and the accent is there... good job! overall.. All the Juniors have improved alot.. Keep it up!

Alright thats the comment i gotten from these 3 seniors.... i was realli relieved and elated that they have agreed that i have improved! Whoot! shall continue to work hard on Dance... =)

There are a total of 558 people who signed up for Fbodz Audition.... and might be more as there might be people who didnt sign up but wanna come for audition... watever the case is... GOOD JOB EVERYONE! =)

Alright.. getting Naggy... Visuals time!

2009-04-20T00:11:00.002+08:00

Went for NDP training on Saturday.. and well... the training was kinda alright for mi.. not very easy to catch the routine.. and a lil sad part for mi is that i wont be playing the drums... but the Tamborins instead...

i'll elaborate on the NDP training another time...

Went for Strikeforce Ministry Training.. and learnt the other parts of "Hot Summer" the song.. went for dinner after that at Clarke quay Central....

and followed by that was tons of photos taking and doing alot of crazy stuff... hahaha.. i certainly dun have the pics right now.. will post it up once i have them...

ADDICTION!

Uh ahhhh! Before u guys start thinking wrongly as to wat im addicted to ... im not addicted to drugs or anything... BUT, im currently super addicted to this sets of DAnce Cheorography!

Check it out!

For girls! this one u all shld like it! it certainly wowed mi !

Girlicious- Like Me!

Mario- Kryptonite! (this is my favourite)

I dunno why.. but as i looked at them dance... i can feel them and i can feel the music... to be honest.. this set of cheorography for mario's kryptonite was realli touching for mi ...its like i can feel the emotions and whatsnots thru the dance.. i dunno bout u .. but for mi ... i can realli see and feel all these.. i can realli see the bond and the strength that they have and the effort they put in in this cheorography..

Seriously.. im starting to become a fan of Erik Saradpon! Hes dope! His cheorography never fail to wow mi!

Went to church yesterday for Easter Service... Very "lucky" i have to say... cox when i was walking to church from the bus stop out in the open.. and without warning... WHAMP! a HUGE downpour of rain just came down like that! and the sky sure did give no mercy... so i ran all the way into expo.. and when i reached... i was drenched...

But luckily.. expo aircon was pretty strong.. so my clothes dried up pretty fast... as for my hair.. i always have my Gatsby moving rubber and hairspray inside my bag! and well.. it sure does come handy in times like this! ahhahaa!!!!

The service was good... when it was altar call.. seeing all the newcomers give their life to the Lord.. it just realli reminded mi of the earlier days when i gave my life to Him.. it was realli a great feeling and it realli brought mi back to the first love that i had for Him...

aright thats all for now! heading to bed!

nights!

Strikeforce Gig/ TPDE Concert/Gathering with the peeps/

P4 Trainings!

Hey YO YO!!Im Finally back to blog as promised! =D

Certainly been a tight and busy week for mi i have to say.. so lets break it down yea!

Strikeforce Gig!

Last Saturday i had my very first Gig with the strikeforce at the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Jurong point... it was thoroughly awesome for mi.. different experience once again... Unfortunately, i dun have the vids for the performance... so yea...

TPDE!

Headed for TPDE concert after i reached home and get changed into a fresh set of clothings...

TPDE this year... to be honest.. it wasnt realli as good as last year... certain part of their segment was dope.. but the rest were just okok for mi...overall.. i would say its good.. but im very sure there are more rooms for improvements! =D

Gathering with the Peeps!

Rushed off for gathering with Joyce, Kho, Roger and Suherman after strikeforce Ministry training... and watched this movie called Detriot Metal City (D.M.C)...
the movie was super hilarious.. although im not a fan of heavy metal music or death metal music.. but i guess the movie has brought mi to a different perspective to look from... from a view of those who loves Heavy Metal Music...

Had Long John for Dinner.. and do quite alot of catching up during dinner... i guess it has been a long long time since we last did that.. or at least for mi i suppose... so it was pretty fruitful and enjoyable! looking forward to the next gathering! =)

Strikeforce Performance @ the opening of 7ate9 Bar in esplanade!

After Work... went to do a bit of Shopping on my own cox i kinda ended pretty much earlier before the stipulated meeting time.. so had to kill some time.. headed over to Citylink.. and Marina Square.. checked out Surf and splash at citylink.. and the ripcurl shirt i wanted is still there! phew! im so gonna get it once i got my paycheque! hahahaha... unless someone wanna sponsor mi... =x

Headed over to the Esplanade with the strikeforce peeps and made more new friends! The strikeforce performance was dope.... for the rest.. it was kinda alright...
The Bartender dropped his bottle and the liquour bottle smashed into pieces... well mishap do happens sometimes i guess... The Dance item was ok.. cant realli feel them dancing... i dunno why... its like the "feel" is not there when the dancers danced.... and they werent realli on the beat i have to say...

alright! some visuals for that day!

P4 Training (Wednesday)

Headed to Strikeforce P4 training after work... Learnt about beats on Space Jams, Rock beats, Long triplets and half time funky... it wasnt realli easy to catch in the beginning.. but once got the hang of it.. its pretty alright i guess.. hahaha..

Went together to have dinner with the rest of the them after training... and apparently... Red (he is a guy)... showcased his arm twisting skills after dinner and he certainly wowed the Auntie there! hahahhaa!

Some other visuals of that night!

Went to eat "ice" after Dinner!

P4 Training (Thursday)

Rushed over for P4 training because i was stuck in the office searching for apartments for one of the agents as she needs it urgently..

P4 training was alot better.. due to the previous practice that i went...

Headed for Dinner as well after training.. but this time it was alot lesser people... initially wanted to head for Astons for dinner.. but the queue was horrendous.. so in the end.. we ended up at the same place we had our dinner the day before... yea.. the same coffeeshop that red wowed the auntie at.

Visuals time (again)

David Adino, Glorian, i forgot the 2nd girl's name!
=x

Jacob!
YEs.. i forgot her name!!! Arghhhhh

2009-03-23T21:35:00.002+08:00

Wah LAH!

2 pieces of GREAT NEWS!

1) i have PASSED all my exams this time! meaning no repeat of modules and i can hopefully graduate on time! hahahaha!!!!

2) Strikeforce had called mi to tell mi that im shortlisted! whooo hooo!!!
im like super happy that im in...

Went for the amazing race and the gathering the night before.. and i was just pure fantabulous... its was nice because i not onli get to know more people and also.. i get to be a part of it..

the race was really fun and it was enlightening for mi in the drumming industry.. get to know where to get drums equipments... and also in the gathering.. we get to play this game whereby we have to make music on our own.. with beats and stuff...

and guess wat! my group actually WON! hahhaahhaa.. it was truly a different experience for mi ... because never im my life would i have thought i will join a ministry in church so fast.. and that its a unique ministry.. so therefore.. i realli appreciate the opportunity that was given to mi ....

somehow.. i just realli wanna thank GOd for this opportunity tat He has given mi...
i have just slotted my dance sessions for club crawl all to friday... so tat i can have a tad more time for strikeforce practice... i shall see how it goes..

no doubt for the next few months. im gonna be super busy with studies.. strikeforce and dance.. but i tink i will pretty much gain alot more out of this and also enjoy doing it in the process of gaining...

okaye! thats it for now.. will update soon! =)

till then!

2009-03-15T17:13:00.004+08:00

Okaye! i know its SERIOUSLY late to blog bout this but hey... late is better than never! wahahahaa..

SOOOO.... Danceworks has been well over for a week.... and i have to say its is really one fantastic experience i got from it... its my very first dance competition... first team to perform for the day as well...

i have to say that this competition... somehow make mi realli wanna push myself more and more each time... i dunno why.. but somehow i just kept telling myself that i still got the energy to full out one more time.. and amazingly... after 5 full outs... im still alive! HAHAHA!!!! guess its pretty true that everything lies in the mind eh...

Okay...so this is the vid for the competition...

View 1

View 2 (Closer view)

And also.. the other teams thats from FB.. you guys did great as well.. realli enjoyed every groups' performance...although all of our teams did not enter into the finals.. but im sure we pretty much gain more than that... the experience.. the process and the bonding...

Some visuals for all of u guys...

Our tee shirt design was selected as one of the top 8
design for the competition..
credits to Arisa for the design! =)

Special Thanks to:

Beverly, for helping us out at the very last min and standing in for Elfy just so that we can have the chance to perform.... and thank you for all the guidance and all the advice given!

Andee, for all the Dope Ideas in the effect and the formation for High school musical parts... and not to forget helping the girls for the girls cheoro as well..

Wei Keat, for helping us correct the mixing of the music so that it sound smooth and nicee.... and also for some steps for "Dem Boys Go"...

Jia Rui, for giving ideas in the Cheoros and giving advice and comments...

Lesner, for giving us comments and helping us out with the concept in the early stage of the preparation... although in the end we scraped the idea away...

Last but definitely not the least, Not-Out -Yet Crew! Thanks for giving mi a great experience in Danceworks... although sometimes we had our ups and downs.. but thats inevitable in a group.. wats more imprt is we come tgt and work things out...
Brendan, ur hard work did not go to waste! it helped mi pretty much! =)

We did a few interviews before and after the performance... was a new ting for mi ... but i dunno where i can view it.. cox youtube dun seem to have the interviews... hahaha.. shall wait and see bah....

OKAY NEXT!

i have just make one of the BIGGEST decision in my life.. and that is......................

TO JOIN A MINISTRY in the church!

Apparently Strikeforce Ministry is having a recruitment drive for NDP and the ministry itself... was realli interested in it the moment i heard of the recruitment because i guess, like for mi .. its a totally new ting and it has something to do with music and beats and rhythm...

Strikeforce is a ministry in church.. but not onli that.. they are a percussion band that plays with drums and other stuff... something like "stomp".. whereby they uses anything and everything to make music.. like Pots, woks, cups etc etc..

when i was a young boy.. i always have this thing to want to play drums and percussion stuff.. but back then being a little boy.. didnt realli went after it and went for Dance instead... but this time the opportunity came... been thinking bout it for like a week or so... and so just now... i went to sign up for it....

nothing is confirmed yet..cox there is an interview.. which i done it just now as well.. so now i can onli wait.... i hope its good news...

the last big decision i made was to join FB... which i never regretted.. so now i just pray for the best and that i can get into that ministry...

okaye.. some stuff about The Strikeforce!

2009-03-14T00:33:00.001+08:00

Im not in the mood for anything .

2009-03-01T23:59:00.009+08:00

Hello People!

Shall come and update!

SOo... yesterday was my Birthday.... this year was comparatively quieter compared to any of the other years that i had... i dunno why....

Went for Cell Group on thurs and the Whole CG pranked mi ! Pauline, my Cell group Leader, told mi that she wanna speak to mi regarding joining a ministry in church.. and i realli took it seriously.. and was realli thinking which ministry to join... then suddenly she say... " actually... WE WANNA CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY!"

Was Dumbfounded for 5 sec... cox i tot like they are gonna celebrate next week or something.. and every year... before the bday arrive.. some one will ask the bday person wat they would like to have as present.. but this year.. no one asked anything... so i assume that they haven ask yet...

They gave mi a T- shirt from spade... which is pretty nicee... i kinda like it...

Then Yesterday... went down to mum's salon to get my hair cut and a new colour... cox the colour was fading away.. and then after that headed for dinner... initially i wanted swensen.. and she agreed to it.. but when we hit the restaurant.. they place was packed and theres a looonngg queue right outside the restaurant. So we walked around and then my dad suggested Crystal Jade...

i was abit shocked because Crystal Jade cost alot more than swensen! and they were saying swensen is expensive. =.=

so we went and ate there.. the food was niceee... first time i had such sumptious meal for my bday...

alright shall let the visuals do the job!

Coconut with Honeydew Juice

4-season bean???
(si ji dou)
Some Garoupa Fish
Shark's Fin Soup!
Fried Dumpling!
Crispy Lemon Chicken

Yuppz! thats bout almost summed up my bday celebration.... my parents wanted to get a cake some more.. but then guess wat... those food above plus a pax of 4 costs over $110.. so i told them its alright.. can spare the cake.. ahhaha.. afterall .. ate so much alreadi still want cake.. i will never agreee to that man.. hahaa..

but nonetheless my mum still gave mi an Angbao as bday present.. i shall save up a bit more to get something for myself.. been wanting to get a Hugo Boss Cologne which i haven been eyeing for very long alreadi.. whahaha..

alright guys... i shall end here!

to my peeps having chalet for the next 3 days.. HAVE FUN! ENJOY!!!
although i cant be there which i realli wish i do.. but nonetheless u guys have fun and yuppz... bond better because the class is splitting soon...

take care!
till then..

2009-02-20T23:40:00.003+08:00

Yippee!!!!

EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!

Im sooo tired right now.. just reached home not long ago and bathed before i come here blog... im using my last few bits of energy to blog now.. before i head for the bed....

Mathes and Thermofluids paper were aright.. the revision guide were pretty accurate ( i cant say its exactly accurate because its against some protocol or something)... so yea... been really revising like never before...

Dunno why just now before thermofluid paper.. i was pretty much stressed out and nervous... but thanks to my friend... manage to speak to someone to loosen up my feelings...

I felt that this semester... although it was rocky... but i personally felt that it was a blessing from GOd.... Through this semester.. He really pulled mi up from my old self.. and realli transformed mi in a way... like somehow i've became more independant.. gotten out of my own comfort zone and eventually made new friends and great learning experience....

if i had never failed my UG in the first place.. i most probably will be still in my own class and will still be the lazy mi... the dependant mi...and eventually end up not realli studying...

But God has been realli good... He has put mi in 2 of the class which i felt that its realli God's way of doing things... Firstly going to Silas class (C2).. i can say that i pretty much learnt alot of things from them.. and that silas and the rest were realli there to help mi in my studies....

For this semestral exams.... just wed and just now... Jonathan and silas came up and told mi good luck... it realli somehow just calm mi down a bit...

For going to Adrian's class (C3).. they may be the fun lot of the rest of the cohort but whenever i needed help.. they were there as well... for lab test... for common test...

Somehow... i personally felt that the other classes treated mi very well.... its like i wont feel outcasted when im in their class, not saying that i felt outcasted in my own class.. just that because im not from their class.. but they realli made mi felt welcomed in their class..

Even for my UG class... i tot i would go to Pearlene's class whereby i know most of her classmates.. but i went to C4... well.. dun realli know them actually.. but then they welcomed mi in their class as well...

i clearly rememeber there was this time i was late for UG tutorial... and after i sat down... i realised that they gotten new worksheets.. sitting besides mi were 2 indian guy... and to my surprise... they went to help mi take the worksheet and passed it to mi... i was rather shocked.. because i didnt even know wat was going on at that time...

the class rep was a nice chap as well... for CNY make up class (which never happens)... He tries to make sure everyone can make it on that day... at first i tot like he aint gonna ask mi... because i dun realli belong to their class. but then he came and asked mi! and tries to fit everyone timing in it...

so if this aint God's way .. i dunno wats that..
its a lil sad that the semester has ended... i have pretty much enjoyed this semester... its definitely unique and memorable..

and i strongly believe now that there is every purpose for everything that God has done in my life... for my exams.. i believe that im gonna pass all my modules...
yuppz!

alright... i shall head for the bed now..
had a looonnggg day, or rather, loooonnnng weeek!
hasnt been realli sleeping well due to exams and stuff...
so yuppz..

take care people!
ITS TIME TO HAVE FUN!

Hey People!

its like 1:30+++ am in the morning now...
Been Burying under the piles of notes and books for hours..
reckon that i come here whine whine abit...

SO.. today went over to Republic Poly for Dance works meeting... instead of the usual.. NYP... cox there are exams going on at BLK E and sports hall.. which actually means we cant go anywhere near there.. so we decided to go for RP instead...

and Finally.. today marks the day that i completed going to all 5 polys!
i have been to SP since i was in Sec school... TP for my JAE, TPDE concert...
NP for NRA concert and of course joel is there.. went there once with him...
NYP.. needless to say. i have been going there for 2 years alreadi!
and lastly.. RP! hahaha.. i never been to RP before siol...

So after that.. decided to head home because my parents wanna go visit my grams.. so i left RP... and gosh.. the rain was blardy heavy... got caught in the rain.. although the road to woodland interchange were fully covered by the covered walkway..

took 969 back home... and after i bathe... supposedly waiting for my dad to come back and go tgt.. but i guess im really tired that i fell asleep on my bed.. my parents went to my grams.. as i told them im realli tired..

and soooo... my sleeping joruney goes from 7++pm all the way till 11pm.. i dun even know when my parents reached home...

started on my revision after my mum woke mi up.. wanting mi to switch off my com and stuff.. but then since im alreadi up..so might as well...

im seriously missing all my friends/students/working experience/ literally EVERYTHING! i needa get my life back! hahahahaa...

1 more week to go.. and im FREE!! for 2 months!
im so gonna blardy go work during that 2months.. i need cash! savin up to fixed myself a new desktop... and to revamp my room! im sooo gonna trash most of my stuff away... like the old tables... the shelves... the wardrobe.. the colour of my room...
and im so gonna transform my room... prefer a more classy type of room.. or rather a more hip looking kinda style.. shall decide between the 2.. because i seriously feel that the room is the place i chill.. get comfy in and to let go of all the stress after one whole day..so i wont want the room to be of like very normal... and it makes no difference from the outside world.. yuppz!

and yesterday.. was my dad bday.. bought a cake for him... and then my mum told mi this year my bday.. there will be a party!

because my nephew, shane, who is gonna turn 1 year old this year on the 3rd of march... but his parents, my cousin of course, are going oversea during his bday. and so they wanted to celebrate his bday on the 28th of feb.. and my aunt whos apparently shane grams.. told them 28th was my bday.. so my cousin say.. lagi better! do together the celebration! hahaha...

WAh La!

Went to Church today and Pastor Preached bout Relationships... as in those Love Relationships.. and the whole service was just super hilarious.. it kept mi laughing all the way from the skits and stuff...

And so coincidentally.. i just blogged to say that i had a crush on someone.. and today.. pastor preached bout love relationships... hmmm.. pretty timely.. haha!

okaye.. anyway.. i got something nice to share... after reading Kelvin's (deron) blog.. there was this video thats embedded in one of his entries.. i watched it.. and i was pretty much blown away.. so i tot i should probably share with u guys the vids as well..

Christians out there.. i tink u guys will pretty much love the videos as much as i do...
it truly depicts how sometimes we realli get distracted by the worldly stuff...

alright.. u guys watch the vid first...

the first time i watched that.. it was just overwhelming... like sometimes when something else comes into our lives.. and we got distracted by the stuff around us.. and then we dun see God in it...

But yet.. He is always still there... No matter how many times we fall.. He's always there to lend us a hand... help us up and then move along with us...

He never says
"oh u fallen again.. how many times u wanna fall?", but instead..

He is always that loving to say

" hey.. everything is goin to be OK! you are still Great! =)"

Truly.. i was touched by that video... there may be times we turned our back on God.. just so that we can live in a life where we can have wat we want... but realli... how long can it last? i asked myself that questions many times before.. and the answer always return the same... im just so thankful that he is always there for mi despite all the tings that has happened... im just so thankful that he is there for mi to look up to and that he always pull mi up and ecourage mi to move on when im down...

well.. truly.. sometimes life can get a lil tough and hard to get by.. that i truly understand.. cox life aint perfect.. if life is so perfect.. i tink all of us will never learn some stuff that we human beings need to learn... right right?? =D

Just a few days ago.. heard a story on this girl in africa (?)... that she was borned deform or have some accident.. then her hand has became into a claw- like fixture...
and then there was this church organisation that has helped to fund her medical fee so that she can restructure her hands...

and just a few hours before she head for the operation.. a reporter asked her wat is the FIRST ting she wanna do when her hand are recovered... and guess wat she said..

she said : CLAP

to be honest.. i was pretty bewildered by it.. cox i tot like maybe the first ting she wanna do with her hands was to like hold stuff and such.. but she said clapping..

how blessed are we... born-ed in such a safe country, singapore, and for most of us.. perfectly normal... got normal hands and legs.. got comfy house to live in... got Tv to watch.. got Internet to use.. got blog to do blogging and to whine bout stuff... got food on the table for us... got allowance and some extra wealth (angbao/ work) to buy wat we want...

wat more can we ask for?

for that girl.. it likes even clapping is an obstacle for her... we can clap as many times as we want and as and when we want it.. but she cant...

how many times have we paused and start thinking how blessed we are alreadi in this country... wat we have in our life and how contented are we in having all these....

well.. no one can decide that for u except urself... =)

okayee... prep talk alot nowadays on my blog... guess it might be pretty boring u guys down.. hahaha! but well. just pinning wat i felt yea... =)

alright! take care as usual...

2 weeks to Final Semestral Exams!
Jiayou!!!!

2009-02-07T00:07:00.002+08:00

Back to blog!

SOo..... this week is week 17.. pretty much marks the end of semester 4..
How to put it... this whole semester has been one of the most "Ups and Downs" semester i ever have in my poly life... and of course.. the most memorable one also.

i still can clearly remember on the first day of the semester.. felt totally strange and awkward to go for lessons.. felt totally out of place because i dun know anybody from that side of the path for the semester.

u know its like when u are in primary 1.. going to a new sku.. meeting new people whom u never see before in ur life... the scary feeling.. awkward feeling that is there.. i tink thats pretty much how i felt at that time...

and just as i tot im probably gonna suffer in this whole semester.. ivan came in.. and phew! at least there is someone i know..

met terrance they all.. and well... they pretty much changed my whole impression of them...

i used to see them as "ah beng"... and doesnt realli have a good impression of them.. this is honest i have to say.. but after knowing ivan and terrance they all.. they are actually aint that bad afterall.. they aint wat i tot they were in the past...

Yes.. although they smoke and stuff.. but wat truly matters is inside their heart... teamed up with them for projects and labs... and realised they are still concern bout their studies and reports and stuff...

so moral of the story.. never judge a book by its cover! i truly learnt that by this experience.

And so the semester went on... went to silas class for Mathes... Mechanical Design and Thermofluids... and then went to terrance class for QC.. Sem project.. and Robotics.

it was onli this few weeks that i realised all my main core module were with silas class.. the so called better class of the lot.. and my non core module were with terrance class... the fun class of the lot..

Pretty much knows all of them in these 2 classes...

well.. i guess one of the most memorable ting for mi in this whole semester was i actually had a crush on someone in the lecture group... im not gonna name who the person is... so dun bother asking.. =D

but yea... thats partially wat kepts mi motivated to go to school...

now that the semester is ending.. i guess everything will come to an end bah..

just finished my UG, QC and Robotics paper.. UG and QC papers were okaye for mi.. pretty much shld be able to pass.. but for robotics.. i dun even wanna talk bout it..

i studied so hard for them.. but yet i didnt manage to do well for robotics paper.. i so hope that i can pass my robotics as i realli dun wanna fail any modules.. the feeling sucks like shit when i failed a module..

maybe i haven study hard enough.. maybe i shld have studied even harder...

3 more papers to go.. the final papers for the semester... i hope i can realli do well in it!

and oh yea! for those peeps in my class.. i hope u guys had done well for ur Mechanical Design Presentation!

alright.. shall stop here..
take care!

CITY ALIVE 2009!

Okaye.. so im back to update the blog!

FIRST TING FIRST.. i FINALLY finished all my projects!!!!!!!!

alright.. lets get back to City Alive..

Saturday (31st/01/09)

City Alive was Dope.. realli enjoyed myself that night.. and it was my first time clubbing in a street party! so yea.. its pretty cool for mi...

Went with Joyce, Mae, Suherman, Roger.. and in the end met new friends from chingay.. as the 4 of them are involved in chingay!

I left home at bout 10pm... took a train down to cityhall.. and waited for them till 12am.. before they finally arrived.. and then whoo hoo!!! clubbing time..

Headed to Macs at after that for "supper/very early breakfast"... crap there for a while... and then took a cab home..

oh my.. the driver drove at 140km/h.. given that the whole entire street are empty... literally was like sitting in a rollar coaster... lol!

To be Honest... i realli treasure the chance to go to city alive alot.. because some how its like God give mi this chance to realli go loosen up before chionging for projects and upcoming tests.. let mi tell u how...

i have been comtemplating whether to go for City alive for some time.. and well.. obviously needed to pay.. its 12 bucks.. and its over the night from 930 to 3am.. so i was realli comtemplating...

then on friday, Suherman msg mi and ask mi if i wanna go.. cox he has complimentary tickets.. which is free... so after pondering for a while... i said ok...

but then the next ting hit mi.. my parents might not let mi go.. cox they dun realli allow mi to club and stuff.. but guess wat..

when i got home.. before i could even take off my shoes.. my mum asked mi if im interested to go for CNY celebration at Marina Bay, The Float, which is like gonna end very late.. so i told her im going for city alive..and while expecting her to say a no... she said ok!

i even told her i might not be going home that night due to no transportation besides cab.. so i told her i might just stay out the whole night till the first train start and head home from there.. and guess wat.. SHE SAID OK AS WELL!

but in the morning.. she told mi to go home after the party... and she gave mi money for cabfare.. but well.. its alreadi very good that she allows mi to go out for that alreadi... so must give and take mah..

And i guess like.. with city alive, my friendship with them pretty much bonded once again.. and that night. i was realli happie.. realli happie from the inside. if only the entire class of 0706 were there.. then it will be awesome!

its definitely one of the best night i ever had.. and its gonna be a night that i will remember for a loooonnngggg looonnng time!

Visuals time! =)

Mae and Roger!
Suherman and Joyce!

Monday (1st/02/09)

Dunno why i woke up realli on time at 5am in the morning.. and so i slowly take my time to prepare and stuff... instead of the usual rushing to school...

Hit Bus 72 and the most amazing ting happens...

Apparently i was sitting in a double deck bus.. upper deck... and while the bus reached Paya Lebar Air Base... the bus stopped to pick up commuters.. which is pretty rare.. but nothing surprising.. and then i started looking at the sky.. the orangey sky outlining the clouds that are hanging there..

And then guess wat! i managed to see the sun rise... ON A BUS! the sight was just simply MAGNIFICENT!

okaye.. call mi noob or watever.. i never seen before a sunrise.. not especially when it was on the bus... the Sun was realli realli round and bring on with it a bright orangey fiery colour... it was truly beautiful and magnificent!

but due to the moving of the bus.. there wasnt enough time for mi to take down a picture of it to show u guys...

Just at that moment.. i was listening to "santuary" from the church worship songs.. and was just simply slacking in the bus... chilling and enjoying the worshipping of the Lord.. and that sight of sunrise realli sets everything nicely for mi on that day.. it just realli make mi feel damn relax despite all the projs coming and testes coming...

that whole day was just simply awesome...
thanks Daddy GOd! for u are always right by my side encouraging mi to move on =)

for once in a long time... i can realli say...

ALAN LEE IS A HAPPY BOY! =D

okaye! now im gonna become a warrior... and do combat fighting with the enemies...

okaye.. so i was away.. due to chinese new year (duh).. and well.. sort of ok ok for mi.. as usual.. pretty bored..

On CNY eve... was told tat we wont be going in to malaysia.. but then.. at 12am (new year day)... received news that we are going in! i was literally...

so no choice.. went in with them on first day of CNY... slack.. eat.. watch tv.. while the rest gamble their life away...

the adults mahjong.. mahjong and more mahjong..
wat do the younger ones do?

they blackjack blackjack and more blackjack... hahaha!
and wat do i do? tv... tv.. more.. tv.. (with the companion of food and drinks)

but thanks goodness.. we came out on that night itself..

reached home and started doing Sem Project.. manage to get my secondary school friend to help mi out with the webpage.. do until like 3am ++...

woke up at 12 the next day.. (CNY day 2)... went to more house for visitation.. then eventually slacked at Big aunt's hse for reunion dinner (mum side)...

then history continue... mahjong.. blackjack.. tv(for mi)

and then today.. CNY day 3!

went to school for lessons.. pretty much sianzation going back to school on the third day for lessons.. if its not for the revision to get an "A".. i wouldnt be there alreadi.. and wats more.. like half the class aint there! -.-

but nonetheless.. had a little surprise.. the UG lecturer... due to us returning back to school for lessons.. she gave us each an ANGBAO! wahahaa!

Im a big fan of titanic (the film).. and i was thrilled to have found this!

GOd is definitely doing something in my life! =)

ok ok.. i shall stop crapping that much and put the story!

A Child's Prayer!

Dear God, are You still awake?
Have You got a minute or two?

You're pretty good at understanding,
And I really need to talk to You.

You see, Mommy came to tuck me in,
Like she does every night.
I was trying to play a trick on her,
Since she can't see without the light.

I was going to close my eyes
And pretend to be asleep.
But when I heard her crying,
I didn't dare let out a peep.

She started talking to you, God.
Did You hear the things she said?
Could You hear what she was saying
As she stood beside my bed?

Why would Mommy be so sad?
I wondered just what I had done,
And then I began to remember
it all As she named them one by one...

This morning we worked in the garden,
But, honest, I really didn't know
That if I picked all those little yellow blooms
The tomatoes wouldn't grow!

Charlie and I were trying to be helpers,
'Cause I know that's what Mommy needs,
But I don't think she was too happy with us
when we pulled up carrots instead of weeds.

Mommy said we should stop for the day,
she decided we had helped quite enough.
I sure had worked up an appetite...
I didn't know gardening was so tough!

we had peanut-butter and jelly for lunch
and I shared too much, I guess...
But I didn't realize until I was done
that Charlie had made such a mess.

Mommy said she needed a nap,
she had one of her headaches today.
She told me to keep an eye on my sister
and find something quiet to play.

Well, God, do You remember all those curls
you gave my little sister Jenny?
We played barber shop...very quietly...
and now, well, she doesn't have any.

Boy, was Mommy mad at me...
I had to go sit on my bed.
She said never to cut "people hair" again.
I guess I'll practice on Charlie instead.

We sat and watched poor old Albert,
I just knew he must be so bored
Going round and round
in the same place all day,
Wouldn't You think so, Lord?

I didn't think it would hurt
to let him out for a while.
I mean, mice need exercise, too.
By the way, have You seen Albert lately?
He's been sort of missing since two.

Mommy sent us outside for the rest of the day.
She said we needed fresh air.
But when Daddy came home she told him
he was trying to get something out of her hair.

We thought Mommy needed cheering up,
so we decided to brighten her day.
But, God, did You see the look on her face
When we gave her that pretty bouquet?

We had gotten a little bit dirty,
so Mommy said to get in the tub.
"Use soap this time," she reminded,
"and please don't forget to scrub."

Charlie didn't like the water too much,
but I lathered up real good.
I knew Mommy would be so proud of me
For cleaning up like I should.

I went downstairs to the table,
but during dinner it started to rain...
I'd forgotten to turn off the water, it seems,
and I hadn't unplugged the drain!

I decided right then it was just about time
to start getting ready for bed,
When Mommy said, "It's sure been a long day,
" And her face began turning all red.

I lay there listening to Mommy
as she told You about our day.
I thought about all of the things I had done
and I wondered what I should say.

I was just about to tell her
that I'd been awake all along,
And ask her to please forgive me
for all of those thing I'd done wrong.

When suddenly, I heard her whisper,
"God, forgive me for today...
For not being more understanding
when those problems came my way...

For not handling situations in the way
You wanted me to...for getting angry
and losing my temper,
Things I know You don't want me to do.

And, God, please give me more patience,
Help me make it through another day,
I'll do better tomorrow, I promise..
. In Jesus' name I pray."

Wiping her eyes, she kissed me
and knelt here beside my bed.
She stroked my hair for a little while..."
I love you, precious," Mommy said.

She left the room without ever knowing
That I'd been awake all the time.
And God, could we make it our little secret?
You know, just Yours and mine?

I'm sorry I was so much trouble today,
I really didn't mean to be...
Daddy says it's tough being a kid sometimes,
but I think it's harder on Mommy than me.

Well, goodnight, God. Thanks for listening.
It's sure nice to know You're there.
I feel so much better when I talk to You
'cause You always hear my prayer.

And I'll do better tomorrow, I promise...
Just You wait and see!
I'll try not to be so much trouble again,
But, God,
please give more patience to Mommy
......Just in case! Amen.

Alright.. i hope u like the story! i love the innocence of the story... guess sometimes when we talk to god.. we often ask Him for stuff... we often neglect the people around us... we know that He understands all things.. and that he can fulfill all things in our life that are necessary...

but thru out this entire story.. there is only 1 line that touches mi the most... and thats the line that says "please give more patience to mommy"....

how many times had we prayed for the people around us? as we grew older.. we might have the tendency to neglect the people around us... we tend to look at ourselves a tad bit more...

God bless us so that we can be a blessing to others.. its never too late to repent... well.. this story certainly has brought back images of myself praying in the night for myself and others in the past when i just became a christian... but i hasnt been doing that lately... its realli a good reminder for mi to start blessing the people around mi...

remember this..

every single one of u are of importance and significance... at least to mi..

alright.. i realli gotta go... dun wanna keep GOd waiting for mi.. hehehehhee =D

have a great weekend! =)

The Story Of The Four Candles

The Four Candles burned slowly. Their Ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak...

The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit." Then Peace's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.

The second candle said, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable." Then Faith's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.

Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer. People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." And waiting no longer, Love went out completely.

Suddenly... A child entered the room and saw the three candles no longer burning. The child began to cry, "Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end."

Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy, "Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles."

With Shining eyes the child took the Candle of Hope and lit the other three candles.

Back to Blogging to kill time!

im like in school now blogging.. due to the night study make up class..

-.-

seriously.. i dun feel like having that class la.. i had class since 8 in the morning.. and im dying to just grab a nap...

Ivan just sms-ed mi and told mi that hes NOT going for Night Class, again.
everytime he skip night class.. i have to worry bout the damn project. because hes my proj partner mah... and i have to bloody face the lecturer alone and explain everything to him... and being the typical lecturer.. he ask damn lotsa questions.. sometimes i dun even know how im gonna answer his question..

im like bloody stress now.. i just seriously.. seriously need some time out... im in engineering but that does not equate mi to being a machine.. even machines rest..

but then.. on the other hand.. i cannot afford myself to slacken.. because the damn exams is sooo near! i so hate to fail any more modules... like who will want to fail.. right?

yes yes.. im contradicting myself.. just let mi be mi for awhile..

i tink.. like wat Mdm Yee (QC lecturer) has said.. wrong man for the wrong job.. i find that its so true for myself la.. wrong man for the wrong course...

i mean seriously... im not a bolts and nuts guy la.. neither am i the sort that do mathes and physics and drawing all the time.. im like a theory guy... u pass mi any theories.. i can read and understand the ting till its like i can score A la... and yes.. i know alot of u guys can do that too! =)

yes yes.. u guys will say its all excuses.. been there heard that.. its just...........
just.. no interest in the course lor.. like not even a tinge of it..

i have tried my best to tell myself that since im alreadi in it.. might as well do well for it.. and get a good certificate etc etc... but i honestly dun see any future prospect for mi in this line...

to put it in a bad way.. im kinda like wasting time studying for a diploma which im not gonna use it in the future... i regretted so much that i didnt change course earlier when i first got into the poly... if i had knew all these.. i would have straight away change course on the first day of school man....

okaye.. looking it at a brighter side.. this diploma will onli serve as a back up qualification that i will have.. no matter wat.. im not continuing in engineering in future.. this i had made up my mind alreadi.. why go for something whereby u know u wont do well in it and had no interest in... its like forcing urself to do something u realli realli dun wanna do ...

honestly thats how im feeling now la..

if i had interest in bolts and nuts and designing.. i would have chosen DNT in secondary school instead of Food and Nutrition... and of course.. naturally i did wayy better in F&N compared to D&T....

well.. lets just put it that each has their own strength.. and mine apparently is not in engineering....

the reason why im mugging so hard is so that i dun have to repeat anymore modules and waste any more time in this poly doing this course that i hate... and naturally wasting my parents money if i had to repeat one entire semester...

i tink im like most of the people in singapore... rather be the end user than to go and know wat happens and how to produce it.. hahaha!

yea... as a matter of fact.. im not realli keen nor interested on how a handphone is made.. or how a computer is made...hhahaha... =p... no doubt yes.. having some basic knowlegde will help in troubleshooting if anything were to happen.. but i guess thats all that i want to know. the rest.. realli.. is not my cup of tea...

but i do salute those who come up with the technology la.. the nano stuff ... the iphone etc etc. but just that i dun wanna be those people who do those stuff.. contradicting.. i know.

okayeeee... i shall stop whining and start mugging.. less talk .. more work!

night study later... -.-"
tot of it just turns mi offf..

okaye. ciao!

Hellos Cyber world!

Been realli kinda tied down with several stuff on hands..

Semestral projects..

Mechanical Design Project..

Up-coming QC quiz.... ( which i scored 9/10 for the previous one! whoo hoo)

common test in 2 weeks time..

Semestral exams in bout a mere 1 month time or less....

lastly not forgetting.. Danceworks!

i realli realli dun wanna have that kinda disappointing feeling again when i see the results and find that i failed module again... im sure no one wants that for themselves as well..

my eyes aint getting any better.. in fact i tink my eyes has kinda gone worser.. my right eye ( from my side).. totally cant see a ting in the dark.. not even a single tinge of stuff.. its like even in the dark... u can still see some stuff like if u have a table in the room.. u can still see the shape of the table.. the visual outline of the table.. but for my right eye.. its totally pitch dark... arghhh...

Chinese New Year is just next week... kinda having mixed feeling for it though...
to say im excited... not realli.. to say that im not looking forward to it.. also not realli..
so yea. mixed feeling... i truly hope that this year CNY can be a realli nice one for mi...

okaye.. i dun have much to update also.. just come here and wah lah a bit onli...

Part 2

Monday (12/01/09)

apparently... i was like late for Mechanical Design Lecture for bout 45 mins.. and i was tinking like "damn im late"... so as usual.. typical mi who hates to be late... rushed like a mad cow to sku... i took the bus.. not the cab.. hahaha..

so when i hit the lecture theatre... it was exactly at 8:45am.. and in my mind... i was tinking like Edmund Change must have alreadi taken the attendance.. saw Jacky and quickly went to sat down beside him.. and whoot!

Mr Edmund Chang: Okay.. i will take ur attendace now.

Jacky: wat the.. i tink he waited for u to come then take attendance lor! -.-

yours truly: Phew! and LOL!

but i guess i was realli lucky and by the grace of God that im not marked late when its a fact that im 45 mins late...

okaye.. so thats the interesting part for monday.. the rest of the day was as mundane as usual.. hahaha.

Tuesday (13/01/09)

As usual.. had night classes...

and gosh..was like drawing circles after circles for the tutorials... and with my eyes condition ( those who knows)... i was realli dying from all that circle drawing.. and the graph paper didnt make it any better for mi.. though it was supposed to help plot better! hahhahaa..

Wednesday (14/01/09)

Woke up late again! -.-

this time lagi worst... woke up at 930.. class is at 10am! and it takes 1 hour from tampines interchange to school.. so i reckon by time im done washing up and hit the interchange and take the bus down.. lesson will be over by then.. then i have another like 2 hours break before the next break..

SOOOO...

i didnt go for 10am tutorial.. officially first time "poning" a class... then i was at home with nothing much to do that early in the morning.. so i washed up and head down to the nearby food court to grab my early lunch! hahaha..

was like craving for Mee Rebus at that particular store in the food court.. so headed down and bought it home to eat.. YUMMY!

headed to school for UG lab... and it was pretty okaye.. the moment the lecturer said "once u are done.. show mi and u can go".. i raised my hand and she came..

and i told her...

"cher.. im done.. see see"

and she was like
' --"! , so fast!'

then she just took a glance while the operation is running and say..

" okaye... no prob.. but can u dun go first?"

i was like "why???".. then she said go around and help those that may need ur help.. ahaha.. i was like.. =.=!

so i helped a few..and made my exit! wahahaha!

Thursday (15/01/09)

Okaye.. this day is funnie! had class as per normal.. then went for Robotics Lab...
i quickly gave my excuse letter for open house to Mr Ching.C.M, apparently is my last sem automatic control lecturer and this sem robotices lab lecturer, so he kinda knows who i was... he even remembered my name la!

-.-

okaye.. so when i gave him the excuse letter.. this situation happened!

Mr Ching: So wat are u involved in Open House?? (still looking and reading the excuse letter)

Alan : Dance....

Mr Ching: Oo! wat kinda dance??? Hip hop?? ballroom?

Alan: hahah. its hip hop...

Mr Ching: is it like a school ting or dance outside one?

Alan: ehh its a school one.. Foreign Bodies

There was this girl that stood beside us...

Girl: u from foreign bodies?!??!!!?

Alan: ehhhhh.. yea?

Mr Ching: eh alan.. show some moves.. i give u extra Half mark for ur lab test!

Girl: Cherrrr... where got half mark one.. want give..give extra one or 2 marks la...

Mr Ching: okaye! i give u ONE extra mark... u never know how one extra mark can come in handy! ( then he laugh very funnily!)

Alan: -.-!

so i did a few moves (without music) for them.. damn paiseh laa.... but lucky the class aint a lot of people at that moment.. so not too bad.. haha.. then Mr Ching continue talking to mi regarding the break out dance.. and ask mi if i break dance.. then he say it will be quite heavy for mi to break dance.. i was like "wth!!!!!" hahahaaa..
then he laugh very funnily again... damn sacarstic la...but he was just joking la.

then my phone spoilt! wat the heck..

rushed down to samsung stores to get it fixed.. cox i did my warranty online.. so i tot they could just access it and then straight away send my phone for repair.. but u know wat.. they told mi they need the contract.. receipt and everything.. (there i was thinking wats the use of doing online registration then?! waste of my time)
the lady give mi express cue.. meaning to say the next time i go there for my phone to get it fixed. i dun have to queue...

so i headed home and quickly find the documents.. but cant find it! ringed my dad.. and he said he will search for mi when hes home.. so i waited..

phew! he found it.. it was with him..

Friday ( 16/01/09)

headed down to Samung store to get my phone fixed!

headed to school.. and everything was as per nomal..

learnt bout Specialisation.. and totally sianzed 3/4!

gotten automation.. which is wat i dun realli like..cox got UG...and automatic controls.. arghh... apparently alot of people got into that not because they chose it.. but because they didnt get the specialisation they want..

i chosed like Manufacturing software... which no one chooses it thru the years... but dunno why.. alot of people choose it this year..

i seriously tink im in the wrong batch of corhorts... choose school also like that.. choose course also like that.. now choose specialisation still like that! -.-!

i shall look ting in a bright side and trust on God that he had his plans for mi.. if not i wont be in this course and in that specialisation... =)

went to cell group after that! been sooooooooooooo loooonngggg since i last went to cell group.. the last time i went was like in august.. due to production whiney practice on thurs.. i could not make it for cell group.. and for yesterday its due to some location problems.. so hence we had it on friday at Sandy's place.. hahaha..

been realli nice being back in Cell group again.. no doubt feel a bit weird.. cox very long never been there.. 4 months++++ .. so yea... did some goal settings and stuff.. and my new connect group.. im the onli guy.. hahaha. but nonetheless it was fun! hahaha..

Saturday (17/01/09)

slept almost the whole day today.. hahaha.. gonna head down to some serious studying after sleeping so long.. hehee..

God bless!

2009-01-10T22:03:00.004+08:00

NYP OPEN HOUSE 2009!

Whoots! im back from NYP OPEN HOUSE 2009! its realli a great performing experience for mi through out this whole entire 3 days!

Let mi break it down yo!

OPEN HOUSE DAY 1! (08/01/09)

Reached school at 8am for Metrology/QC class.. it was an important lecture that day.. so i cant missed it.. and it was important indeed.. phew.. lucky i never miss it...

Headed to Block E for dance Prac! Did final full run at 1045am.. before heading to the atrium...

Prepared everything.. got changed... put on accessories.. caps.. and Wham! we started walking to the atrium..

The moment we reached the atrium... i was like... "damn.. so many people!" and not to mention.. alot of secondary schools students..

The Emcees introduced us and then we went into position.. at that moment.. i couldnt believe im actually there gonna perform for Open House.. WITH Foreign Bodies some more...

*tempo has reached Critcal level... tempo has reached Critical level....*

the show is ON!

Bounce cheoro was alright for mi.... quickly rushed to the back after that to changed for guys cheoro!

In no time.. the guys cheoro music came... and i cant tink much.. and ran out to hype the crowd...

Gave all i can to the performance!

following up is the girls hip hop... sexay!!!!

the first slot ended very fast... of course with alot of people crowding around to watch!

Jia Rui and Chaozhong gave us comment after the performance..saying that its pretty messy.. not syncro-ed enough.. off timing also...

Stayed at the atrium central garden stage to support our felllow junior, anisa, who is also my group member for danceworks... she is singing for open house.. so we sat there and support.. but we never knew that she is the last singer to sing.. so we waited and waited and listen to the other singers before her...

and wow... her singing is realli dope! no doubt is the NYP Orion singing competition Champion!

Taufik Batisah was there at 2pm.. for NYP Open house... and wow.. the crowd.. his fans are damn lot.. realli alot alot.. manage to catch a clear view of him... dun realli look much different from wat we see in the tv...

well.. u know.. some celebrities can look very different in real life and in tv.. so yea..

Did another full run at 345... headed down to atrium for 445 slots after that... this time we are more confident.. given the first slot experience..

and whoott!!! this time the crowd is even larger than the earlier one! i was totally like bewildered... people are looking and standing there waiting to watch Foreign Bodies perform.. there are like people every where!

The show started! this time it was alot alot better! i was more on the beat and stuff...
everyone feel more confident dancing it alreadi...

the girls hip hop was soooooooo niceeee on tat timeslot..like realli on the music and looks very very gud!

Break off for the day after that performance...

NYP OPEN HOUSE DAY 2! (09/01/09)

Supposed to meet at 9am.. but i woke up late.. reached school at bout 10am.. yea its 1 hr late! -.-

did the same ting.. full run at 1040... and headed down to atrium for 1205 slot performance...

and this time.. day 2 is not my day..

firstly. for bounce opening cheoro.. i screwed up... there was this part that my side were to go down.. and then come up.. but at that moment.. i dunno wat the heck i was tinking... they went down.. and i went up.. then when they went up.. i went down! OO!!!! so malu after that...

then for guys cheoro.. i try my best not to go think bout wat happened in bounce cheoro.. then guess wat... i screwed guys cheoro as well!!! im totally off form on day 2!

after the whole performance.. some seniors said we did not do better than the 1st day.. in fact.. alot inferior than the 1st day.. especially compared to 1st day 2nd slot.. as the 1st day 2nd slot..we did alot etter..

but there are other seniors that fnd that we were better than the 1st day.. in a way whereby we are cleaner and sharper in our moves compared to day 1...

then just as we were bout to go back to Block E.. the emcess announced bout Jean Deanker and the mediacorp roadshows.. and all of us went to the central stage to sit down and watch.. they played "Don't Forget the Lyrics" and whoo hoo... Anisa (junior), Jonathan(BBoy) and Hanisa (senior)... they all went up and played the game.. it was sooo fun la.. watching them... especially Hanisa... she was like as if she hold an outdoor concert to Mariah Carey's "Touch your Body".
and u know wats the best part.. hahaha.. that song was not in the game list.. Jean Deanker asked her wats her favourite artist.. and she said mariah carey.. and BAM! the DJ put t Mariah Carey song.. and its not in the game list.. but she still got the lyrics right in the end!

then they further promote other shows like "serves you right" and "red thread"

For "red Thread".. the cast actually came..and its Celeste Chong! Julian Hee! and Tracy Tan!

to be honest.. Celeste Chong realli look very gud and beautiful.. hahhahaa.. never had i expect to see her in real life.. upclose some more..

well.. For day 2.. we were told that the night open house performance.. Foreign bodies will be using the stage.. and due to the limit of the stage.. hence guys cheoro.. girls cheoro... and bounce were taken out..

NYP OPEN HOUSE DAY 3! (10/01/09)

Reached school at bout 10am as well.. had breakfast with beverly, arisa, anisa, hector... chatted on a few stuffs..
then beverly told us she is still pek cek over wat happened on day 2 night open house..

apparently.. like wat was mentioned above.. Fb was to use the stage.. but when it was the time.. there was this drum set tingy on the stage..and the crew refused to remove it..so Foreign Bodies had to Dance at the open area in the atrium.. which could actually mean.. everyone could have participated in the performance like any of the other..and dun have to take out any items... but oh well.. wats done is done..

had dry run at 1120am... Somehow during dry run.. we lost the form and everything..
so we try to brush up a bit... then headed down to the atrium...

the crowd aint that lot compared to the first 2 days..

this time... im sooooo glad that i have done so much better compared to day 2... was more on the beat and timing..

during the closing locking mass dance.. there was tis part where we had to turn and pose.. and after i turn.. guess wat.. my specs FLEW!! it flew so high and so far that it didnt hit anyone that is near mi.. can u imagine that?

then one of the lecturer quickly ran out and took the specs.. lest anyone step on it while we are still posing and dancing..

after the performance.. went to the room where we put our bags.. and guess wat.. i was soo tired that i fell asleep in the room.. for like a whole 2 hours... while the rest were gaming "left 4 dead"... some are sleeping as well..

Headed down to the atrium at bout 2pm.. to catch campus superstar finalist.. as they had a roadshow.. well... its was pretty alright... the crowd were mainly young teens... like sec 1 to 2... Felicia Chin, pornsak, Li teng and Yuan Shuai came as well..as they are the host for the whole CSS show..

after that... headed back to Blk E for last prac... and oh my.. was realli syncronising to the max... and i got stuck in the spinning part..

okaye.. i have to confess... we were supposed to spin with our left leg.. but due to my knee injury.. i always spin using my right leg.. the same goes for the rest of the shows before that.. so yea..

then Justin came and guide mi in spinning with my left leg... took mi realli realli long to even get a grasp of it.. on top of that.. its onli like an hour left to final show.. and im stuck with the left leg spinning tingy... Dori, ysabel, raffy all were there to guide mi and help mi.... THANK YOU guys soooo much!!! thank you for being realli so patient with mi and teaching mi how to realli spin.. even though i took realli realli long to even grasp it...

After syncronising.. FINAL DRY RUN... then headed down to the atrium...
i guess i was soo thirsty after all the dry run and syncronising.. the first ting i head for when i hit the atrium is the ice mountain water bottle in the ice tub... grab a bottle and drank like half of it...

the crowd started to form.. and grew larger... as it the ending alreadi..

WHAM!

the Performance is ONNN!!!

this time i full out for bounce.. hit every details i could remember... didnt screw up anything.. and this time... im feeling damn high! hahahaa...

changed into guys cheoro black tee... and i try to not stress myself too much regarding the spinning ting... and the song came!

went out and hype the crowd.. this time.. i gave my all.. leaving nothing behind and make sure i hit every beat and every details... and guess wat! i managed to spin with my left leg!!!!!!!!!!! although lose a bit of balance.. but i did it! hit back to the music and did the whole cheoro full out!

the whole performance ended with a locking mass dance.. and damn.. the atmosphere was just so high.. was realli great!

NYP open House finally came to a close... and thru this journey.. i realli had to say i have learnt alot alot..

i can clearly remember last year.. i stood there and watched FB perform.. never did i expect this year i would be performing with them!

last time when i used to see them perform.. i would tell myself.. how i wish i can do those cheoros and realli be a part of it.. and it came true!

i have to say learning the guys cheoro wasnt easy for mi.. i always have this mindset in the past that i cant do dope cheoros... but after this.. i came to realise that with practice..actually nothing is impossible.. of course there are times that i have the tot of giving up.. but im realli glad that i hanged on and get the chance to perform tgt with foreign bodies... thank you so much!

and somehow.. this performance pretty much marks more or less the last performance as juniors for us.. because the next one will be club crawl.. and by then we will be seniors alreadi...

sadly to say.. i havent got the visuals yet.. but once i got it i will blog it up.. i took so many pictures with so many people that i couldnt even remember who i took with and whose camera was it..

alright.. so thats all i have for u for NYP Open House 2009!
i wanna go sleep alreadi.. been a realli tiring week for mi...
yeap...

till then! take care!

2009-01-10T00:25:00.004+08:00

Before i get anymore misunderstanding.. please read this post in a peaceful manner.. thanks.

Seriously.. i dunno wat these people are thinking..

they are realli getting on my nerve nowadays.. i sure do have alot of haters nowadays huh?

well... since when did i ever say that i dun respect my parents? that entry.. the one which i vented when i blog.. was blogged when im realli not in a good mood! why cant u people just understand? would u blog anything positive when u are in a bloody fuming type of mood.. and u need a place to vent.. and yet there is nowhere else to go?

i dun blame my parents for ranting at mi to clean up my room u know.. im just mad at that time when my stuff are spoiled.. all the displays and stuff.. are all gifts from my friends.. there was not one that i bought.. every display that was in my room were gifts from friends.. some are bought from overseas.. hence i was pretty frustrated when the stuff were meddled with...

and guess wat.. just a few moment ago before i came to my blog.. i was playing chess happily with my mum, dad and sis... and we are like laughing and having so much fun as a family... all these are the tings that u guys didnt know.. and then u all just judge mi based on wat i wrote when im fuming...

when i reply wadwad with "hit him back in the face"... please.. read the whole ting..

i said.. "i HOPE tings WILL NOT hit him/her back in his/her own face later on in his life.."

and i seriously meant that!

i didnt blame anon for bombarding my blog.. i didnt even hold a single ting against him... its his rights to type watever he feels in my tagboard.. im fine with tat...

but as wat wadwad said... "do UNTO others..."
u know wats the next verse after that...

its says.. "do UNTO others wat other do ONTO you".. i just want tings to be okaye... im not gonna scold him or anything... im not even gonna scold anyone here...

i just feel that.. who knows.. one day he/she could be facing the same ting like i do now.. and i just hope that he wont get that... is that too hard to even understand?

the greatest strength as a christian is not vengence.. its forgiveness... im not even seeking revenge or anything here... and i dun even hold anything against anyone who scolds mi in the first place...

yes.. as human being. i do get angry and frustrated.. but do i do anything to them? have i scolded or slash anyone that bombarded mi out in my blog? i seriously need u all to understand this... im not holding anything against anyone.. im not getting any revenge on anyone..

i just wanna say this... in a peaceful manner... i dun blame anyone that is bombarding my tagboard.. and i wont... im ok with watever is written in the tagboard.. its just that.. when i blogged something.. its just the way its written.. plain simple english.. dun tink too much into it.. and please.. dun have a warped idea of wat is written..

think of it.. let mi show u another side... IF i hold anything against anyone who bombarded my tagboard.. i would have just slash it out and scold tons of things... who knows i could even track the ip and find out who it is..

but hey.. im not that kinda person.. if u guys had known mi long enough.. am i that kinda revengeful guy? if u all were to archive all my blogs entry.. since when have i ever chided anybody in my blog before?

actually.. as a matter of fact.. i dun have to blog out so much to clarify myself.. if u guys realli wanna talk bout christianality.. then i wont even need to blog to clarify myself.. because why shld i bother with wat other people tinks bout mi? wat matters is wat god tinks bout mi..

i used to blog alot of christian stuff in the past.. but because there are non christian readers.. so i try my best to blog something else.. like my daily life and wat goes on in it... how i feel etc etc...

so if i cant blog bout christian stuff. because of its sensitivity... and i cant blog bout my feelings and stuff .. then why shld i blog? right?

both ways i will still get the same ting... wat are u guys expecting to read here?

like i always said.. life aint perfect.. nothing is perfect.. i cant be jolly happie all the times... there are times that im down too... i cant please every single reader who read my blog...

like i said.. if realli.. realli.. u guys are displeased with wat i wrote.. u guys can dun come and read.. its ur choice.. because u guys will onli find stuff that is displeasing.. then wat for u all wanna come and read.. and end up getting offended..

after saying sooo much...

i just wanna head back and say that... i dun lie in my blog or in tags... read it just as the way its written...i dun hold any other meaning when i blog..

i will take all those comments in the tagboard into consideration.. nonetheless. thanks for tagging... all these has brought mi to alot of realisation... alot of tings to improve when i blog... well thats a gud way alsoo..

all these will onli make mi stronger... and i strongly believe so.

2009-01-07T15:56:00.002+08:00

Wu- la- la~~~~

Second time blogging in sku...

Just finish my lessons for the day... and i've not much to do.. forgot to bring the materials for projects.. so hence cant do much...

Currently... im supperrrr tired... i guess all the other dancers who are involved in Open House are equally tired as well... but i believe our hard work all will be paid off for Open House..

Last Rehearsal later at 7pm... although.. honestly speaking.. i dun realli feel like dancing.. but the feeling of dancing with the rest just felt so gud... and not to mention.. we trained hard and practice alot for the performance.. so last rehearsal.. last lap to go before Open House performance tmr! =D

As u all can see.. my tagboard is kena bombarded again... well.. nothing surprising.. whenever i blog something negative.. for sure there will be such bombarding..

BUT i just wanna clarify something is that.. i dun lie in my blog.. its where i pinned down watever stuff i had.. and how i feel.. so be it negative or not.. i will just blog it out just as it is..

i do know that of course there will be people who disagree to watever is blogged.. because different people different opinion mah.. we all think differently from each other.. but does that mean that we have to comform to each other standard?

maybe for mi.. i dun like CNY for a certain reason.. but is that anything wrong? does being chinese mean that all the chinese HAVE TO like CNY????

its the same theory as the chicken rice seller.. the seller sell chicken rice.. but does that mean that a chicken rice seller has to eat chicken rice everyday? does it mean that he HAS TO like chicken rice and stick to it at all time?

and regarding my parents.. i do love them and appreciate them alright.. im sure u guys had times whereby u all also will get angry with ur parents for a certain particular reason.. right??? im sure u guys had times where u quarrelled with ur mum and dad also.. right?? im no exception as well..

i just wanna say this ONE MORE TIME... that entry was written when i was fuming.. i need a space to vent.. and the blog is all i have at that moment... so watever is blogged.. of course it is negative! (can u tink of anything positive when u are angry???)

and there is one irony part is that.. if those taggers who hates mi.. and for sure they know they wont find anything satisfying for them in my blog.. i wonder why they still come and read.. and make themselves angry by wat i wrote.. and in the end hauling tons of vulgarities and profanities.. -.-

i always belived in peace talk la... since when did i ever flare up and start scolding people vulgarites when people scold mi.. if u guys realli realli have some stuff that u are unhappie with mi... then just simply put it out nicely.. talk nicely..

if im so not worth to be even talked to nicely.. then just save it lor.. since im that not worthy.. so might as welll save the breathe of even saying it.. there is no point in scolding mi vulgarites.. u can scold as many as u want..and i wont be affected.. because that just clearly show how shallow ur english can get.. and the kinda of person u are..

no one is perfect.. everyone make mistakes here and there.. but the question is that... when someone make a mistake.. do u help the person? or start criticising him/her and trampling down on the person like as if he/she has murdered someone.. or have done something that is worth like a death penalty?

okaye okaye. i dun wanna make this post too negative.. im just here to kill time! thats all.. hence i took the opportunity to clarify and clear up some stuff..

alright then!

bye =)

2009-01-05T00:45:00.002+08:00

Hey Guys..

A brand New Year.. A brand New Start!

Apparently.. my year aint starting out right.. neither is it nice!

im like so freaking pissed now... with my parents! -.-

Guess wat... With ALL DUE RESPECT TO ALL THE FEMALES AND MOTHERS IN THIS WORLD....

somehow... Females has this " Clean up until spick and span" gene in them!
Early this morning... my mum came in and rant and rant and rant on cleaning up my room..

i mean like, COME ON, in my opinion, i find that the room is a place where i find comfort in... where i can be cozy in and let down all my stress and tirness for the day... and i prefer it the way i want it to. if the room is so neat and stuff... its no longer my room anymore.. because it kinda lost the feel there...

when i wanted to revamp my room, get a new colour on the room, they disallowed... and when i wanna get new furnitures for my room.. they aint that financially ok with that.. so i had to give up that tots... now i cant even want the room to be wat i want it to be.. im not saying like my room is very very messy or wat... its just that.. i dun like it to be too neat.. because i will forget where my stuff are put at!

when i reached home from church.. having the tot to clean up and tidy up my room so that my mother can be satisfied and keep quiet for a while regarding my room.. my Dad starts cleaning up my room.... okaye... i hate people touching my stuff... because whenever they touch my stuff.. something will goes wrong. He literally took all my stuff out and put it in a box.. and guess wat...he just chunk everything tgt... some of my display are broken... my shaver spoiled.. now my shaver doesnt even vibrate! im using an electornic shaver by the way.

and then... My air con spoiled... and he refuses to get it fixed! saying that its gud that the aircon spoilt.. can save money! -.-
and he even say he is willing to sponsor a big fan... like wth!

then after he clean up everything... i have to put everything back! and so many tings are spoiled.. so i just leave it in the box that he put in... no point putting spoiled display....

sometimes.. i realli wonder is the room realli mine? they keep saying the room is mine and i should have the responsibility to keep it neat and tidy and spick and span.... but guess wat.. they have 2 bloody big shelves which is aint mine... and they are chunked in my room.. and IM RESPONSIBLE TO KEEP THAT CLEAN AS WELL! wat the heck la. at first they say just put in my room first... then after CNY or something.. they will put somewhere else... and oh yes.. the shelves has been in my room for 2 years alreadi... and most of the stuff on the shelves are not mine..

Talking bout CNY... i seriously hate CNY... i rather celebrate Christmas more than CNY.
My mum every year tell mi that there are people coming to my house for visitation and stuff.. and every year i try to keep my room nice and presentable.. but then... for dunno how many eons years.. no one has ever came to my hse before! waste all my effort sia....

5 tings i dislike bout CNY!

1) The Music...
Oh boy i hate the CNY music.. they are freaking cheena for goodness sake.. and they sing in that old fashioned outdated style of singing with that chinese music at the back... sorie to say... although yes.. im a chinese.. but im more westernised... im NOT saying that im not proud to be a chinese.. just that.. they aint my cup of tea.. thats all..

2) The Decor!
my goodness! obiang to the max! making the house red until cannot red. I LIKE RED but not in the case of CNY! because its just cheena.

3) Going into Malaysia
Yes.. every CNY.. the first day will go into Malaysia.. and rot there like a fungus till day 2... seriously.. its like wasting the first day of CNY... every year.. go in there.. just sit there and watch tv.... i tried bringing my laptop in last year and my dad was making a big fuss on it.. and i cant bring it in... then when we all go in to Malaysia.. the rest will all be playing Mahjong! I CANT FREAKING PLAY MAHJONG! and i dun even know how to play... so im literally rotting there like a fungus...

4) The comments of Relatives..
Every year.. i have to face their comments.. its either they say im growing horizontally or that they have someting negative to say bout christinality.. or if not.. its comparing mi to the other cousins.. and my mum will rub it in and keep saying why i cant be like this.. why cant i be like that... etc etc... -.-

5) The Cleaning up of rooms/ spring cleaning
Arghh.. hate this part the most! dun need mi to elaborate more.

okaye..

4 tings i LIKE bout CNY!

1) The company of my fellow cousins!
Its gud to like gather tgt as cousins and talk cock and stuff.... catch up with each other on stuff and etc etc...

2) The Food la!
HAHHA.. sure can get to enjoy ba kua( barbeque Pork), and other finger food... its niceee.. and must have this kinda festive season eat then got the feeling... not to mention drinking shandy with my cousins! well.. i dun drink... yea.. so shandy is the furthest i will go.

3) New Clothes, New Pants, New Shoes!
The time for mi to exploit my parents to get new clothes... and all the others stuff like pants and shoes! wahhhahaa!

4) The Ang Bao!
HAHAH.. for sure this one alot of u guys will agree with mi! hahha!

alright... im here to rant! feel so much better after ranting!

till then!
