Forever 21

Well, my 21st birthday has come and gone, and I must say, it was pretty fun!haha

Thursday I met with some friends to watch Immortals, play L4D and pool, then Hangover 3! Immortals reminded me of 300, and it was not what I expected it to be. The poster showed the 4 gods( Zeus, Athena, Ares, Poseidon), so I thought the movie was about them. Turns out the movie was about some mortal. And the movie is rather gory! 3 movies in 3 consecutive days!

Hangover 3 was better than anticipated! The music and crowd was good! I got chased down the street by my friend, and I heard someone guessing that there was going to be a fight.LOL Anyway the night went well, except for the last part... and the DJ was not that good, I feel. The transition between some songs were abrupt or poorly done, but his choice of songs for the night was pretty good! Got less high after 3am, and finally decided to go home. And I didn't drink any alcohol! So proud of myself! Nearly decided to smoke though D:

Today I went to dye my hair. My mom was making such a big fuss about bleaching that I expected the hair to be really bad after bleaching. Turns out it looked damn nice. In fact, it looks better than my final colour, which is supposedly dark blue but is barely visible unless under bright light. And how does that look Korean? First thing that came to my mind was: Ah Beng! Went to meet my Asoc group mates and they surprised me with a cake! Damn touched! :)

I had another celebration at home with my family before meeting the gang for supper, which turned out to be another surprise for me! Although I kind of suspected after that afternoon incident. Still, it was a really thoughtful gesture and the fact that we got caught in the rain makes the night more memorable! We ate chicken rice and played LAN which was really entertaining!

4 cakes during my 21st birthday. Sure I may not have got what I planned, which was a yacht party, but then I got to spend the day with my family and friends, having loads of fun, so it is still a birthday worth considered special as a 21st birthday!

The Start Of The Holiday

Well, holiday is here! December is just in a few days and I'm so happy! Really appreciate having a break after a long semester! And imagine, I am going to be like that 7 more times in my 4 years in SMU!

Today is the last paper for quite a lot of my friends, so I can kind of openly talk about enjoying the holiday already! I've been trying to tell myself not to stay home and play computer, considering I bought Battlefield 3 and Batman: Arkham City. I wanted to go out and hang out with my friends rather than rot at home. I'm making sure I'm going out almost every day if I can!

Went to run on Sunday night, which followed by Battlefield 3! Monday I went to school to DJ a bit before meeting my friend to play Yu-Gi-Oh! It's been a long time since I played it, and it feels great to have another friend to play it with me! Tuesday I met Sihua to watch Breaking Dawn: Part 1. And it was quite draggy. Some parts I found ridiculously funny, and I covered my eyes during the part where Bella gave birth. I bought a popcorn combo which gave the Puss In Boots cup, but I left it at Topshop! :( I went to shove it onto a railing while waiting for Sihua to try on some clothes and I totally forgot about it! Only remembered when we boarded the train home D: Sad ttm!

Today was another movie! This time Puss In Boots! Cute cat!!! haha Went Orchard with my friend before that in search of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards but to no avail. Met our LTB group for the movie and dinner and the pub opposite my school.

Tomorrow is going to be another movie!!! And Hangover 3! I shall not drink. I shall not drink. I shall not drink. I shall not drink. I shall not drink. I shall not drink. I shall not drink.

I got quite bored of Battlefield 3 quite fast. And I'm now into drawing on Microsoft Excel, which CR taught me. So cool! But it needs a lot of patience. Drawing a detailed gun took me the whole night! But, I love it!

Today I finally bought something I searched high and low for; and was nearly going to give up looking for it. But today I went to this game shop, which sold a lot of PSP games, including special editions, and I went to try my luck. I couldn't find it at first, and was about to give up, but then I saw another section beside it also displaying PSP games and I finally found it!!!!! Persona 3 Portable Collector's Edition!!!! Even though I've completed the game twice(and playing a 3rd time now) and recently did a very long review about it, I wanted to buy it for collecting sake! Such an awesome game should be bought! So happy! It's like a birthday present to myself! :)

Don't ask me what I want,
Because I know I can never have.

Be Strong

Poor Richie. In a way, he is kinda in the same scenario as me. But like I told him, there's always a girl out there who deserves how much effort you put in for her. That's what I feel. I find it ridiculous when a girl tells me, "You're a great guy" or "You're really nice and sweet" but end up saying she doesn't like me. Either you are a liar or you must really want a lousy boyfriend. Save those stupid lines for a sucker who'd believe that.

I mean, sure, I admit, I miss those moments. I miss her smile, I miss those beautiful eyes of hers which I can get lost in, that familiar nice smell of her hair, and that warm feeling when she reaches out and touches my hand. Really, I miss her. But hey! Wake up! Something went wrong along the way, and she probably lost interest in me. So I shall not put in so much effort. If she doesn't want to reply my SMSes, so be it. If she doesn't want to even see my face, so be it. I'm not some dog, always at the beck and call of some girl. At least respect me as a person. I believe that there's a girl who will appreciate all the things I do for her! :)

LTB quiz today! Totally didn't study for it, except for an hour before the lesson. Did the paper in 10mins, slept the rest of the time!

The graduation gig for my DJ workshop is cancelled! Damn sad :(

And what the fuck. You block me on Facebook just because he is my close friend? Bitch!

Friday Fun

I was suppose to go for this workshop that I signed up for yesterday evening. 2 sessions for $30, to learn how to use a program for making your own music. I decided to back out because I was kind of lazy to go for it, and for that price... I think I'll stick to DJ-ing first.

DJ-ing has been pretty fun! I'm trying to come up with a list, and that involves finding out where to drop the songs onto each other to make the mix flow smoothly!

I've never heard anyone sing so well before :) Of course, that just makes mine look even more pathetic :(

Went to Sashti's house to meet up! Sorry for being late! And it was quite sad that only 4 of us could make it, but we had fun nonetheless! His spicy popcorn chicken was awesome! Beats the one sold in school!

Going to school later to study the whole day. Biz Law, I shall not admit defeat! Rawr!

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are

BBQ, Chats, Suit Up!

I'll start with my recount of Thursday before I talk about yesterday's convocation! Thursday was iConserve BBQ!But before that my group Popeyes decided to meet up to go cycling first. Stupad woke up late; no surprise there. So I ended up being at East Coast Park on time, and had to kill time before the rest arrived. Stupad still can ask me buy for her McValue lunch!

The girls rented bicycles while Jeff and I brought our own. I was using my sister's old road bike, and it's not very good. I think I'd prefer the rental bikes, honestly. We cycled quite far down, until some joker did some failed stunt at this steep uphill path. So we took a break, snap some shots, then headed back to Lagoon food center for drinks. We saw that Mediacorp guy! Julian something... he was walking his 3 dogs! I was starting to feel the aching on my butt and my legs had the feeling of going to cramp on the cycle back to the BBQ pit, but fortunately I made it that far.

The BBQ was smaller than I expected, people-wise. But it was still fun nonetheless! And hearing about the ghostly encounters from one of the camp's fright night... scary but interesting! XD My group went to Subway to play cards and eat cookies after the BBQ, and I had to cycle home from there... at least it beats taking the bus down and walking!

Friday started with me selling my management science textbook, before meeting Eric and Ying Hao for...snacking? Eric had lunch while we two had snacks at KFC. Anyway, we shared stories and Eric's one is so shocking! Every time I think of that thing he said my jaw still drops!

Convocation! Had to buy white shirt and black pants just for it! But after yesterday, I think it's totally worth attending convocation! Not because convocation was awesome(it was OK only), but because of my FTB group! Seriously, Charmander brings out the crazy side of me.  I went to buy the birthday cake for Jeremy and Rachel, which was meant to be a surprise. But Yong Kit accidentally blurted it out to Jeremy over the phone! LOL

Jeremy and I spent convocation "initiating" the clapping at times, and tried to do wolf whistles and stuff. Our group escaped during toilet break to grab a bite! Which was good, because then we skipped two talks. And I think I group is really damn camwhore-ish! We can take photos even in the lift at the MRT station!

We went to Bras Basah McDonalds' after the convocation, which was my idea. I chose that place because I expected it to be relatively empty as compared to the outlets at Raffles City and Suntec City. However, there were a lot of students studying there, which is quite irritating. I mean, I want to go there to eat, but you students selfishly just study there without even buying anything to eat. So we bought our food and went back to school to eat at a group seminar room!

The birthday cake had so many candles! 3 big and 12 small ones! Plus, we got a slice of cake smashed to Jeremy's face! I think all this face-smash thing is going to be a trend in the group! Overall, it was definitely a fun time last night!

Oh and I hate wearing that smart casual outfit. Or at least, the pants. So baggy! People will probably think I've fat, meaty legs or something. Give me a pair of jeans any day!

Now, to prepare for school! Bummer...

And I'm so sick of Dragon Age 2 having me fight those huge spiders. I. HATE. IT. Suddenly this BIG spider drops from the ceiling to engage my team. Scared the shit out of me.

We are young, we run green,
Keep our teeth, nice and clean,
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright

Ice-cream Frenzy!

Went to SMU gym for the first time yesterday! And the gym is quite huge! So many treadmills to run on. And the people there have such fit bodies that it's intimidating!haha Now my arms are aching from all the training! Well, at least the shower has warm water!... until some guy went to use the first cubicle and my hot water was gone...

Had dinner with my FTB group after that! First we met at Vivo City, where everyone was late except me! Then we take away food and walked all the way to Keppel Bay for it's "magical grass", which was basically the fake grass! I think the place is a rather nice romantic spot, despite it's rather secluded location. And the condominiums there look so nice! Probably costs a bomb! We had a good time chatting under the night sky, stirring shit, asking which was the most memorable camps, asking how I turned from ember to green, and listening about stories from other camps!

We went back to Vivo City to get ice-cream at a supermarket. And from this day on I shall never buy those cheap tubs. Ben and Jeremy were "testing" the ice cream by opening the tubs and putting their thumbs in to see if the ice cream is melted! Damn hilarious! Oh and Ben showed me this video he took in can't-remember-which-country of a rat the size of a cat! I bought a pack of Tim Tams to share too!

We sat at the open area of Vivo City, and there were quite a few groups of teenagers like us hanging out there. But while most of them were having HTHT time, we were playing the MRT game! We were so loud from all the whacking, and some people were looking at us, but we didn't care! It was just too fun! My right thigh now has some small blue-black spots! After our game, we realized that we had too much ice cream left, and they were all melted. So we decided to play the game where you say a multiple of 5 and everyone shows a number(0 or 5). Can't recall the name of this game. So if you guess correctly, you get to feed a scoop of the melted ice cream to the person, and in the scoop includes one Tim Tam! It started with a scoop, then it escalated to spamming scoops of ice cream, then my face got dunked into the tub of ice cream, then we poured the tub into Xiang Rui's mouth(which he choked and I got some on my hoodie XD), then Jeremy poured the whole tub on Ben's face(I meant everything in the tub into his mouth when I said "everything", not pour the ice cream onto all over his face! Really epic moment!), and Jeremy was sporting and told Ben he'd let him pour into his mouth. Ben simply overturned the tub onto his face! LMAO!

Saw the two jokers lying at the water later rinsing off the ice cream. So for those parents to who bring their kids to swim up there today despite the rather obvious saying "No Swimming", I hope your kids like Neapolitan flavored ice cream! There was this awesome moment where Jeremy was lying backwards with his head dipped in the water, and Ben was not supporting his body. So when Jeremy tried to get back up, he ended up losing his balance and flipping backwards into the water! I don't know how he manage to get out of the water so fast though. Really in a blink of an eye!

Seriously, my FTB is just wild and fun! I love my Asoc group, but we are not as wild as my FTB group. We Charmanders seriously do a lot of stupid stuff! But who knows? My Asoc group are most definitely clubbing tomorrow night, so maybe we'll have some wild side too!

I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two

Thor 4 Life

Asoc camp was definitely awesome! I love how carefree and relaxing the camp was, how fun the activities were, and most of all the wonderful group of friends I made in that camp. Like, seriously.

The first day was rather fun, despite my lack of sleep. I was busy texting in the morning so I did not really mingle much, and took me quite a while to get to know my group! No offence, but chinese names are really hard to remember! Because I'm a potato, y'know? The games were really fun, and we went out for roti prata for supper. We came back too late for our audition for the performance night, and were told to do a survey. We were held in a waiting room, which was showing Ju-On. I didn't know what show that was at first, but all I know is that it is very scary. And I found it quite weird, for the survey to be done in groups of two girls one guy. Then I realized that I heard someone mentioned "fright night" and I smelled a trap.haha True enough, it was some horror walk around the building. I am honestly impressed with the event, especially the one in the toilet! After everything, even though we decided to sleep, my group ended up HTHT-ing until 3am.haha

Second day was just as awesome, just that we got to do food hunt! Means we got to walk around! And there was some war game, which I do not quite like due to it's rough nature. I told myself not to be violent, but when they gang on my partner and I, I just feel this need to protect my partner. So I struggled and hit away the outstretched hands more roughly than I expected. So I sincerely apologize to them. I didn't mean to hit so hard. The food hunt was good, although I wasn't hungry. And even though there was the iConserve BBQ in the evening, I decided not to leave my Asoc group that night. I guess I bonded so well with them that I couldn't bear to abandon my friends for a BBQ. So I apologize to iConserve for not attending the BBQ. That night two of my friends' iPhones got stolen, and they managed to track it down. Fortunately, my friend's family members went to apprehend the culprit and all was good!

Last day was Sentosa! The games were awesome! And I'm starting to like Red Bull! Maybe I'm truly becoming a man! The performances were hilarious, and the night ended well. By the end of the 3-day camp, I felt so bonded with my group and loved every second of the camp. It saddened me that it had to end, and I was a bit disappointed about no clubbing night.haha

I love group Thor, like, ttm. haha

A Fast One

Who knew that webcam could be so...entertaining?LOL

I'm currently in Asoc camp, and it's really fun!haha I feel like not disappearing at night to go for iConserve BBQ anymore. Not that I don't want to go for the BBQ. I already brought clothes to wear during the BBQ. It's just that this camp and my friends in it are really fun! Fright night was really impressive! Talk about "survey"!hahaha

I believe sweet talk is talk a guy needs to run through his mind and plan out what to say in order to flatter a girl. Honest talk is where you just talk what you feel and want the person to know.haha Is that a valid definition?

I found out Asoc camp will end around 11pm on Monday night, and FTB camp starts Tuesday morning! Crap.

I already started miss chatting in within 2 hours :(


Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for

Early Bird

Watched Thor with the guys yesterday! Not before going for my last driving lesson before my upcoming driving test on Tuesday. Man, even at the last lesson I still screwed up a little. How? Anyway I told myself no point panicking; not like it helps. I've studies to worry about too.

Thor was okay, I guess. Maybe it's because I don't actually keep track of Thor in comics. But overall the movie was quite good, although I found the sound effect for Destroyer's face beam rather loud and painful to the ears. And the outfit is rather weird. The top half of Thor's armor is so nice, but the bottom is just...pants. I mean, I was hoping that they'd put a little more effort with the bottom half too.LOL Good cameo of Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye. Turns out that weird cube is the Cosmic Cube, although I never heard of it in comics.

After movie Jeff and Rosh went home, while the rest of us(CR, Kenny, Jokhie and me) played lan! We ordered the "Buy 4 get 1 free" drinks, all Coke. Too bad we did not get to play L4D. Jokhie fell asleep during CoH! LOL And it's the first time we ever played till the lan shop's closing time.

Jokhie left after lan while the 3 of us went to McDonalds' for breakfast. Talked a bit of nonsense, with the damn old songs playing in McDonalds' before heading home.

Basically I slept at 7am and woke up at 10am. Then I started studying and KO-ed in the afternoon. Now to continue!

Sometimes I wish I had a couple of friends who likes comics and stuff like me, then we can really chat about all of it. Sucks to have nobody to discuss my comics stuff with.

Well, maybe you can trust them.
Just the degree of the trust.

Back From Bangkok!

Back from Bangkok! Actually we touched down last night, but only now am I free to sit down and blog. Gosh! Ages since I blogged! Feeling quite happy right now because there may be hope for the band after all! Anyway, I shall recount the whole trip!

Day 1
Our trip starts with me waking up very early in the morning... like 4am? I was so un-awake I skipped breakfast. Fortunately my mom offered to drop me at the airport so it was not so bad. I was putting on my contact lens when I received an SMS from Kenny asking if we are awake and on our way. Probably scared we overslept? XD Anyway I got a free ride to the airport. CR called me while I was still on the way, at exactly 5am(our meet-up timing) asking where I was.

Feels so... excluded when the terminal is totally not connected to Changi Airport. It's like Singapore Airlines does not want to be shown connected to Budget Airlines. And I actually can see why. When I stepped into the terminal, I could really see why it was "budget". There were only two eateries; McDonalds and some small food shop. I was not really surprised that McDonalds planted an outlet there; I'd be more surprised if they did not. Kenny and CR were there already. Jeff apparently left something at home and had to return home halfway to get it. We decided to grab a bite first before the flight. And there were only two queue for the tickets in the big, empty terminal. The people in front of us were just amazing. One whole big group, which made us wait for nearly half and hour before it was our turn. Plus, we saw a couple that looked like some commandos.

The inside of the terminal is not exactly fantastic either. I was only impressed with the sofas in front of the television having speakers installed on the sides of them. Apart from that, nothing much. The boarding of the plane is the best. You know how the terminal is connected to the plane by some... what do you call that? Some passageway. Budget Airlines uses stairs. Means we have to walk out of the terminal and up the steps into the plane. The best part was that it was raining. So they provided umbrellas for us to shelter ourselves to the plane. Rather amazing, no? The plane is rather small, being more cramped than JetStar if I recall correctly. CR and I spent the whole flight talking cock while Kenny and Jeff were catching up with sleep. I did not want to sleep because I feared I would feel groggy when we reach, which would suck because once we checked into the hotel we would be shopping right away. CR and I bought a can of Coke just for the sake of spending money.

The airport was more or less like how I remember it to be the last time I was in Thailand. We went to grab a bite before taking the train to the hotel. I bought Dunkin' Donuts! Yummy! Fortunately the train had seats(because it was at the end of the line), us carrying our huge bags. The ride was rather long, with us having to change trains a couple of times. The turnstiles look a lot like Singapore's! And the people there wait for trains in a very orderly manner. Singaporeans would simply block the entrance of trains, only thinking for themselves and wanting to squeeze in. The people in Thailand queue up to enter the train. I repeat: queue-fucking-up. Singaporeans should be damn ashamed of themselves. Really. However, Thailand people leave the train kind of like Singaporeans. I swear I felt like I was washed out of the cabin rather than walking out by the waves of passengers alighting. And the way the announcement says "Sala Daeng Station" is rather gay. It sounds more like "Sala There~".

Did I mention that it was bloody cold?! I packed clothes, picturing a sunny Thailand where T-shirts and berms were ideal. But no! Fortunately I was wearing jeans and my jacket over my shirt, so I was relatively warm! The weather totally caught us unprepared!

The hotel we stayed in was Ascott. And it looked rather classy! Much more impressive than Penang. Only thing I did not like was that it was in the middle of the business district. It's like planting a hotel in the middle of Raffles Place. While waiting for Jeff to get the cards to our apartment, they served us some green drink that was super sweet. I think I got diabetes just from drinking it. The apartment was really nice! CR and I somehow picked the master bedroom unknowingly, so yeah. We put down our stuff, took some cash, and headed out!

We had lunch first at this place that sold all kinds of food. I ate Japanese curry! Yum yum! We then had dessert at Swensens.The awesome thing is that most of the stuff in Bangkok is cheaper, so the ice-cream was really cheap. Plus, the Swensens in Bangkok only sold desserts. The guys tried some Burnout game in the arcade, thinking that it could play multiplayer, but they were wrong! Fortunately it was super cheap! There were a lot of cheap stuff, and so began our shopping! After shopping we wanted to kill time before going for dinner, so we went bowling.

Dinner was at some seafood restaurant which was really good! For the first time in my life I see why crab is so nice to eat! The food there was really nice, and we ate till we were close to puking. That evening we spent it figuring out where all our money went. It was rather messy, and we decided to take down whatever we purchased the rest of the trip. Also, I persuaded the guys to buy some hair dye to dye our hair, but we failed. Our hair had to change. I think it's because it was meant for one person, but we shared among three of us. Because we were exhausted, we did not play any drinking games or anything. We watched some television and went to sleep!

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

Shit. This is tedious! I'll write day 2 tomorrow or something! If I try to write it all tonight, I'll just anyhow write!

I heard that the creator of Pokemon was one of the casualties of the Tsunami :(

Love Persona 3 Portable!
