it's sad how nobody cares anymore. and to that, i bid farewell.

so random

i feel like changing my blog layout. like maybe change that act cool picture at the top. i know if i were to ask for suggestions on what to do, nobody would actually reply me. haha! so i think i'll just go with my mood. see how la..

been kinda busy this week especially with my graduation and all but then that story's for another post. have you guys realised how fast this year flew past, its already august and less than a week it'd be september. next thing you know, it'd be christmas already, then 2011. wah its moving too fast! i feel like i'm standing still as the whole world zooms past me.

i know my topics today a little bit random right. hahaha! since we're being random, lets talk about YOG. i like the opening ceremony. they had a really cool stage where they had fountains and some parts look like people were running on water. and i like the fact that the olympic flame was in some lighthouse thingy. very cool indeed! but sadly, i was very much disappointed by the closing ceremony. i was expecting some grand event but i ended watching something that felt like a Singapore Idol concert by those people who didn't even make it to top 3.

and you know what!!! i was like so looking forward to that OH YEAH OH YEAH song for YOG and they didnt even play it once!!! i admit the song is like damn corny la, so corny that its verging on retarded but then, its SO DAMN CATCHY can!!! you tell me who donno the chorus of this song.

OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH HEY!!!

i bet most people even know to exact hand movements to it lor!!! i dont understand why we singaporeans are so embarassed by the song. you look at the world cup and u got shakira singing WAKA WAKA EH EH. i mean granted the fact her dance was more sexier and didnt look like they copied it from street fighter but still. it was catchy as hell and everybody enjoyed it. why not our own local one?

double standards much?

anyway, i just wanna say that i'm proud of our local youth athletes. i dont care that we didnt get a single gold. we did get like a gazillion bronze and 1 silver medal by rainer ng for swimming. but what's the most important thing to me is that these people are true blue singaporeans. not some commodity purchased to win medals.

anyway before i start blabbing away, let just end this post abruptly here. now, since i know most people like to just browse thru fotos when they visit blogs, i shall include some random ones from the past few weeks.

i'm like such a crowd pleaser. *roll eyes*


cousin's wedding at fort canning. i was trying to be artistic but ended up EPIC FAIL.



indonesian food with my army bunkmates. and we caught that movie Inception after that. why is everybody saying this movie is like damn awesome. the show storyline was very simple, there was simply too much dialogue and it was boring as hell. what a waste of my time. i should just stick to my slasher movies.



tengku, my army friend's wedding. its like everyone is getting married ar?


ashley's birthday at Loof. i think that place is becoming like our usual hangout after work already. somebody just make me member already!?!?!


glutton's bay with kath and maddie. food was awesome much. but then we wanted sambal stingray but the queue was like so damnnnnnnn long!!! i want to go lau pa sat next!!!


bunny slippers at work. those are not my feet ar!!! and i do not wear tights la omg!

wouldn't it?

i admit i'm not really a big facebook user. i dont play games on it, i almost never do status updates and i dont upload EVERY SINGLE PHOTO i take. but there is still 1 thing i like to do on facebook. i like to look at all the photos my friends upload. my favorites are the ones which they take on holiday trips.

when i was young i had a really terrible case of motion sickness so i didnt really get to travel much. but my father got to travel extensively then. and every time when he returns, i look forward to flipping through a whole photo album filled with pictures. i'd be like this little wide eye kid mesmerised by every single photo i see. and the best part would be all the different souveniers he brought from places that i could only see through photographs.

clicking through photo albums of friends' holiday trips only makes me feel like packing my bags and taking a cab to the airport right now and buying a one way ticket to wherever the next flight goes to. hopefully its europe cause i just saw some awesome photos of my friend's trip there.

read a book on a long train ride. take photos while exploring the country side on a bicycle.

maybe. and just maybe, leave everything behind, approach a small patisserie and beg them to take me in as an apprentice baker and start life all over again.

wouldnt that be just awesome?

impossible

your kisses felt like raindrops in summer
your hugs felt like a warm blanket in winter
your carress felt like a gentle breeze in the spring
and your whispers calming like the weather in autumn

but my love is like the seasons, never remaining, always changing.

i'm impossible like that.

will somebody come and break down these walls i've built.

there are days where all you wanna do is party till 4am in the morning. where the last thing you remember is like lying down on the pavements outside zouk.

and then there are days like this, where all you wanna do is curl up on your bed, red a good book, and just not go out. don't wanna meet anyone, dont wanna talk to anyone on msn.

it's just a little mood swing i guess. i'll be back to my old perky self before you know it.

do good unto others and others will do good unto you

and so begins the fasting month.

a common misconception amongst many people is that fasting is purely about not eating or drinking because god says so. the truth in fact, is far wider an explanation.

fasting is about abstaining from desires. they're many things that fasting includes, like no alcohol, no gambling, no food & drink, no sex... well you get the drift, basically normal human desires. it teaches you discipline as well as appreciation, because only when something is taken away from you will you realise how much you take things for granted.

furthermore, the fasting month encourages you to do good and practice regular charity. no man who gives charity will land himself to become poor and destitute.

i'm not trying to preach religion here but what i'm merely trying to say is that maybe all of us need to practice a little bit of 'fasting'. abstain from our vices, appreciate what we have and be nice to others.

this is home truly

i wanted to blog today. i already uploaded all the photos, was about to edit them but i decided to catch the national day parade instead.

this year's national day parade was the same like every other but then i make it a point to watch it every year with my family. i love especially the march in section where you have all the different contingents marching in with pride. it just looks really cool. but i notice something off this year. every year, the president would like walk and inspect the troops. he would stop randomly at some guy and chit chat about god knows what, maybe about what the soldier felt regarding Lindsay Lohan mild jail sentence perhaps, but somehow this year i guess he just wasnt in a chit chat mood. he just stood on the back of a jeep and wave. boring la like that!! haha!

i know a lot of people think watching the national day parade is like lame but then i donno why i kinda like it. that's like once a year for like 2 hours i feel all patriotic. i sing along to the songs and even sing the national anthem. you know, seeing all the people at the Padang this year singing along gives me this heart warming feeling. especially when Sezairi sang We Will Get There and Kit Chan sang Home. i got goosebumps!!!

you know what, i secretly am proud to be a singaporean! unless of course, there's a fucking huge influx of foreigners in the near future, then thank god my parents have properties overseas :)

anyhow,
have a happy national day everyone!

back work tmr. bleah!

back to reality

i told you i'd survive didnt i!

when i came to know of my reservist, i was really dreading it. the day before my reservist, i was seriously feeling damn fucked up having to pack all my stuff. and at 6.15am the next day while i was waiting for a cab to my camp, i was DAMN depressed.

2 weeks of shit again. what a waste of time. i rather be at work.


and now it's over.

to a certain extent, i kinda miss it. HAHAHAHA!!! i know!! sick right!!

bu seriously, it wasnt as bad as i expected it to be. generally it was great fun. met up with old friends, caught up on each others life. just pure random chit chat. talk cock. act retarded. play card games. complained about the food. complained about the sun, the rain, everything. catch up on my reading. disturb people.

i mean of course there were army stuff to do, but i'm only mentioning HAPPY moments here.

in the end, there were some parts that were not so happy but that didnt matter cause the happy times overshadowed them. its like going to a bad restaurant with your friends. you complain about the food, the service and the price, but in the end you make do with it cause what matters is that you had great company.


btw, i wasnt paid for writing this.
