Anyway, I turned on the silly colour stuff and can't switch it off, so green's here to stay!

Yeh, okay, so here's my thoughts for the day, etc....
I wish I could write stuff easily, like songs for someone to sing to, etc. I wish that I could sustain myself to finish the Super Squad story. Sigh. I promise, I will FINISH the Super Squad story. I will, I will, I will! I'm kind of happy that Chapter 11 has progressed a bit today. =))

I wish that I knew what's going on... I wish I could have the discipline to stick to a regular exercise regime. Its kind of hard for me... As much as I like to run, I ain't yer usual sporting person. It takes a lot of effort on my part to stay committed to regular exercise. I keep telling myself its good for me. Haiz... =/ No, its not about the exercise that I'm sighing, its about other things...

Banging this out helps... But, I dunno what else to say. Even here it feels kind of restricted. Sigh............

Am updating one more time before going to sleep. Yeah, sigh... I have that report for CD to be done by Monday. Its been slow going. Hm......

Gosh, I miss ya. Its been a long while. Haiz...

Everyone is asking me questions these days. What's with being so nosy? >_<
People...

Sluggish...

Song of today: Invisible [Clay Aiken]

Right, today woke up early again to go for the Chi Alpha event. Were waiting for the basketball and soccer events to finish so that we could do our captain’s ball, but it rained. It rained heavily. So our captain’s ball was postponed. Went there for like nothing, oh well… At least it was a nice and cool day. Oh, and I saw Shu Hui today at NP too. =)

To Canadian Bacon and Bonehead; Hey guys, you have been in for awhile, hope nothing bad has happened to you. Fano and I are kinda worried cause you didn’t say if you were going away or something.
Well, gotta go out in a bit later on. Guess this will be the update for today then. Miss ya.

Last day of the holidays

Song of today: Somewhere Out There [Our Lady Peace]
_____________________________________________

Okay, today I woke up REALLY tired, so I went back to bed for another good 4 hours. Gosh, I feel so much better now. Brian McFadden’s “Real to me” is on the playlist. Okay, let me ramble on about Stealth. The show, it’s a bit silly, kinda dramatic if you look at it. But I’d give it 7/10 for the action. It’s about this elite team of pilots who have been together for several months, years (?). Then they are assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln, an air-craft carrier in The Philippine Sea.

There, a new crew member joins the squadron. His name is Edi, but he’s actually a computer capable of flying the air-craft himself. Yes, an unmanned fighter plane. Then there’s a lightning storm and Edi is damaged. It causes something to be denatured and Edi can think and stuff. Not saying he couldn’t “think” before, but it was as if he had a mind of his own now. He became a run away plane and the other three had to chase him around and such, leading to all the action. From Alaska, to Russia to North Korea, action packed!

And, yeah, about the cinema… The guys were laming again. Between the screen and the floor was this slanted section right? So they said that if Sadako/Samara were to crawl from out of the screen, she’d have a nasty fall. Lol! And if I remember correctly, someone said she can’t place her hand on the ground either. Goodness, you guys are super funny man.

Okay, went running today, yeah. Also didn’t have supper no matter how hungry I was at mid-night. Yes! I’ve also been thinking of ya again. Sigh… It’s been awhile. Oh shucks…

Ups and downs, Ying and Yang

Song of today: Incomplete [Backstreet Boys]
________________________________

Sigh. Today, well, the inside of me feels kinda, unbalanced... =S
Yeh, the outer me sure had fun, but the inner me wasn't there. Talk about Ying and Yang! Lol. Yeah, it was fun watching School Rumble at Weijie's house. Especially the mad bicycle chase, lol. I like that anime, Yessie, try get it k? Thanks to Weijie for opening his house for us and being the host. Oh, also for the fun time we had at yer place (you got a super huge TV le! 0_0).

Am happy that I went running yesterday although it does ache a bit now. Today spent the whole day out. The morning we did our "project" but more like digressed a lot. I call the meeting a success though, lol. We did get some stuff done: Found the mission and aim, found a problem. Ah, yes, that reminds me of the phone call to David Wong. I tried to leave a message on his voice mail and forgot my own handphone number, so it went: "Hello Mr. Wong, this is Jonathan Chua from DMC1A05. Our group has some questions regarding the FOM project. It would help if you could get back to us as soon as possible at 9134, uh, sorry!"

Oh well, embarrassing eh? Then we went to Beach road (Weijie, Zhao Jie and I). Walked around a bit, thanks guys for showing me another side of Singapore. Then went to Tampines to watch Stealth and met up with Shaun. Class 04 was having a barbeque tonight, so I left the three of them to go home. Yeah, full day.

But inside, I didn't really feel contented. Oh well... Its, nevermind.

By the way, the Apprentice Ghim Moh site is up at http://apprenticeghimmoh.blogspot.com

Update:

Sigh, its “Somehwere Out There” again. I’m thinking of you… I couldn’t hold it in any longer, had to let it out that you were on my mind. Stay safe okay? Hugs. =)

“You’re falling out of reach,
Defying gravity,
I know you’re out there,
Somewhere out there!

You’re falling out of reach,
I know.”

I don’t think that’s happening. But I dunno why that song makes me think of ya… Weird eh?

Quote:
You and I are two, two is a prime number. It’s lucky, we must be two lucky people.
[Stealth, Pilot of Talon 1; Lieutenant Ben]

Okay, I will write the Super Squad story for sure. I have already edited a part of chapter 11 I deemed confusing. I promise to you guys I will manage my time between studies and Super Squad! I won’t let Super Squad die, no!

King Corp in the boardroom. Kum Hong Fired!

Eighteen apprentice wannabes arrived at the Tiong Chuan building ready to begin their 15 week interview in a bid to become The Apprentice. All were from the class 4/2 of Ghim Moh Secondary School. All the classmates were familiar with each other and they knew who would be good at different tasks. But how would they be grouped? Would they have to work with people that they didn’t like?

After letting the candidates stew outside the boardroom for about half-an hour, Mr. Tan Tiong Chuan, dubbed as TTC, told his receptionist, Ms. Dewi to let them in. The candidates proceeded gingerly into the boardroom to meet with the TTC.

Seated by him were two other familiar faces, Mrs. Farahain Aidil and Mr. David Sim. Both were strict when it came down to business. The TTC then addressed his candidates. He introduced to them his advisors, stating that they would be his eyes and ears on the streets.

After explaining to them the interview process, the TTC wished them good luck and sent them up to “The Suite”.

Located along Orchard Road, the suite was a gorgeous living area where the eighteen candidates would, hopefully, spend the next fifteen weeks. As they entered the suite, there were many gasps and smiles as they saw the elaborate furnishings. They wandered around the living area, taking in the breath taking views of the town area and marveling at how luxurious everything looked.

Upon entering the kitchen, they were greeted by the feast set on the table. Along with the food, were two envelopes. Kimberly immediately grabbed one and began to read it aloud. The letter inside told the candidates that they were to be split into groups by gender, nine men against nine women. Their first task was to sit together as a team and come up with a group name.

The women took out some large plates and piled on their food then took it to the sitting room where they all sat down and began to think of their team’s name. The guys ran up and down, getting food now and then. On the women’s team, Esther suggested that they come up with a few synonyms for the word ‘victory’. Out of these, they all agreed that Conquest Corporation sounded the best and thus, Conquest became their team’s name.

In the living room, the men wanted a name that reflected their machoism. Shi Hao suggested Daring corporation, but the others thought it too clichéd. It was Yen Hao’s brain wave that they used and decided on King Corp.

The next day, they met the TTC on top of the Tiong Chuan building. He arrived along with Farahain and David. He approved of both team names and laid out their first task. The candidates would be working in the dessert industry, with established companies. For this task, they would be working with Hagen-Daaz to market a new flavour of ice-cream. He also stated that Farahain and David would tag along to observe the teams, and each team would have a budget of $5,000. He then asked the teams to nominate Project Managers who would oversee the team’s task. King nominated James while Conquest chose Syaza. The TTC then left the teams and they scrambled to get to the headquarters of Hagen-Daaz.

On Conquest, Syaza decided to split the team into two different groups, one working on marketing and another on securing the logistics. Esther, Yessita, Kimberly and Victoria would be the marketing team while Carol, Shu Hui, Sharmaine and Debbie would work on the logistics. Syaza would oversee both teams.

In a confessional, Yessita expressed her confidence in her team winning, saying, “I am sure that Conquest will succeed in this task, Syaza is a great leader with foresight to divide the group into two teams.”

At the King group, James brought everyone down to the Hagen-Daaz headquarters to meet with the chef on the new flavours available for marketing. The group took time to look at the catalogue displaying the new flavours that the company was interested in marketing. However, the group was split on which flavour to market. Some wanted the new Mango Ma flavour while others wanted to go along with the Vodka Twist. The temperature soon got heated in the room as Shi Hao opposed the decision to sell the Mango Ma ice-cream flavour.

Everyone quickly got exasperated and Kum Hong then stood up, condemning Shi Hao for creating a fuss over a “small matter”. As tension escalated between the two group members, James stepped in and made a corporate decision and in a u-turn decision, decided to go along with the Vodka Twist flavour.

Stephen observed in a confessional, “By choosing Vodka Twist, we lost the market for children as the ice-cream contains alcohol.”

Back in the suite, Conquest’s logistics team sat around in the living room and around the computer. The women were trying to contact a vendor to rent an ice-cream push cart for a day. Some of the team members poured through a street directory trying to find a prime location for their sale.

At the Hagen-Daaz headquarters, the marketing team for Conquest quickly chose the Samba Surprise. They then settled down to come up with a marketing strategy for the flavour. Kimberly suggested going along with the Brazilian theme of “Samba” for their promotion. They could do a street show or even dress up as the Brazilian dancers themselves.

An excited Esther even went as far as suggesting offering a round trip to Brazil to watch the Samba parade. Syaza warmed to the ideas put forward by her team and was very impressed.

Meanwhile, back at King corp, the men struggled to come up with a marketing strategy even with Yen Hao’s experience in the Fundamentals Of Marketing. In short, he summed up the situation as , “We have no pricing strategy, no placing strategy, no product strategy and no promotion strategy.”

The next day, the teams got ready to get on the streets to market their products. Conquest had contacted a printing company to print flyers for their promotion next to the Orchard MRT station. They had managed to rent an ice-cream push cart for the day and gotten the Brazilian association to put up a small performance for a small fee. Syaza had gone ahead with the idea for the round trip for two the Brazil and had a relative in the media industry get a discount for her to display the winner in The Straits Times newspaper the following day.

King corporation on the other hand, still were running around trying to get their promotion together. They hadn’t got and idea how to market their product, unsure if they should sell their product to restaurants or to ice-cream parlours.

In the end, King Corp desperately tried to sell their ice-cream to several vendors and night clubs. Kum Hong kept getting in everyone’s way, asking what he should do while the others were busy trying to get the buyers to purchase their ice-cream.

The buzz created by the street performance along Orchard Road drew a big crowd and they were the enticed by the free give-away tickets to Brazil. Farahain observed from a distance, smiling to herself as the women got busy serving ice-cream to customers.

David came to the suite to check on the men and found them a mess. Thoroughly disgusted, he left saying, “They don’t know what they’re doing, Conquest will win.”

The next day, the teams entered the boardroom, anxious to see which team had succeeded in their first task. After the TTC had entered, he inquired of his advisors how each team had done. Farahain reported that Conquest had made a record $350.20 while David said that King had a meager $100.00. The winners were the women of Conquest. As their reward, the TTC announced that they would be dining with him at Les Amis, an exclusive restaurant. King Corp however, would meet him in the boardroom where someone would be fired.

As the impending boardroom session drew near, the members of King Corp became antsy. They wondered what would happen in the boardroom. How would they be fired?

As they entered the boardroom, the TTC commented on their work ethic, calling them “Lousy”. James tried to defend himself, saying that Kum Hong needed adult supervision as he was a nuisance. This Kum Hong denied, but failed to give any evidence. When TTC asked who James would fire, he said Kum Hong and Kum Hong said James. He then asked James to select two people to return to the boardroom. James chose Kum Hong and Shi Hao. Ben, Beng Loong, Antonius, Stephen, Jin Hui and Yen Hao were safe.
TTC, alone with his advisors, reviewed the candidate’s performance. Farahain said that Kum Hong obviously agitated everyone. David said that Kum Hong obviously couldn’t work with his team mates. Finally, the TTC called in the remaining three back into the boardroom.

James reiterated that he tried to lead the team, but the were just too disorganized. TTC called him a lousy leader. James suddenly agreed with him. He then asked why James brought Shi Hao into the boardroom and the story of the conflict then surfaced. But Shi Hao stated that it was James who made the decision in the end. James shot back that he was the one who suggested selling it to bars and night clubs as a novelty item.

TTC called James a lousy leader again. Turning to Shi Hao, he told him that he should make wise decisions. Finally, he turned to Kum Hong and told him that he caused friction and was a drag to the team. With that, he said to Kum Hong, “You’re fired!”

Feeling a bit better

Haiz… Okay, it’s a bid to be more positive today As per Gascogne in Vandread: “Smile, smile”. :D

Today is the day that I became the normal subway commuter, stoning, moving out of people’s way, listening to the repetitive announcements, just like those office people… It’s a “fun” way to pass time eh? Anyway, project work calls (which is why I took the subway down to town anyway).

Arisya says office people are boring. Me thinks it depends on the person themselves. They can either make themselves interesting or boring.

All their talk on Harry Potter is making me think of Super Squad… I am really sorry I haven’t had time to write it (excuses, excuses, stop excusing yourself!). =(

Anyway, I ate Subway today. So that was nice. Had the Turkey breast sub, and it had only 4.5g of fat. =)) That’s so good to know, I eat healthy. Haha. Lots of vegetables, yeah. 6 inches of food, not bad. Thank goodness I didn’t go for the 1 foot one. That is simply too much food.

Thank goodness my pimples are clearing up. Enough of the skin peeling. =X It was as tough I had been sun burnt.

Why don’t I just let it all out eh? Today Arisya, Mesh and I were left in Raffles City after we finished the ICP discussion. We realized how short we are. Yes, I pity with you girls. And yeh, I’m short for a guy aren’t I? Kinda frustrating at times, used to be jealous about peeps with great height. But I’ve over come that. Substance, not quantity, substance, not quatity. I guess I owe it to some peeps as well… Had to deal with some stuff not too long ago that was sorta related to this kinda stuff. Thanks guys for seeing me through it, eternally indebted to you.

Okay. I am determined to go running today. Like it or not, I HAVE to go running today. Actually, while walking back from SP, I totally felt like dropping my stuff and running around. Alas, I had my laptop with me, no good to do such stuff although I may be mad enough to do such a thing.

Now, while I ramble about all this, I realize that we have come to the half-point of the holidays. Oh wow, that’s fast.

Hey, I wonder if the Survivor confirmator will go up anytime. Its nearly the end of Guatemala already. They must be wrapping up the filming soon. They finish with day 39 on 4th August and the contestants return the next day. Spoilers leak out please! I wonder how this season will pan out. Hopefully nothing as “dramatic” as last season, Palau where the Ulongers were annihilated by the Kororians.

Yep, I just sent the email out to the SPH. Wonder when they will reply, wonder when you will get my email. Sigh…

Song of today: Breakaway [Kelly Clarkson]
___________________________________________

Its funny how the people can interpret things. By having a phrase “I miss ya loads”, my classmates interpreted I miss a gal. Haha. I told them I missed by best friend, at which the pressed again, asking if it were a gal. Lol. Anyway, today has been really boring. Sigh. And I’m mad at myself for not being disciplined to go running. I ought to kick myself for this! Arggh! I think I’m a bit frustrated right now. Sigh. Hopefully banging this out helps some.

Okay, I’m still feeling mad with myself for not going running. Grrr…. Sigh. Oh well, tomorrow I’d better go. Today is just weird… =( Sigh. I need… Nevermind. Sigh.

Here’s breakaway for ya.
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of a could-be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway

[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a riskTake a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around wild indoors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

Maybe I should make this a feature of the blog eh? Like write a short paragraph that summarises the entire episode. Uhm, I don’t really have time to write this one in its entirety. I already feel bad for chucking the Super Squad story aside for the time being. Come on! I must continue! I can, I will! Sorry, the past few days have been kind of hard to deal with… Its been a down week. Sigh. I’d better shut up although I so want to say so much more. Sorry, I ain’t doing ‘ne shout outs today. =(

By the way: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIONE!

Bad day?

Today is boring,
I've been here all morning,
What I'm doing I dunno,
Wish I could sink into a hole.

Today is a screwed up day. Time passes so slowly. And its another moody day. I think I'm mad at myself, yes, I am... For what? That is yet to be answered...

In and out of dreamland

Song of today: None
___________________________________________

Oh no! It’s “Somewhere Out There” again… This song evokes thoughts of you. Sigh… I am being moved by this song. Oh well… Stay strong, stay strong.

Well I woke up later than I had anticipated and thus missed mom before she left for work. That meant that I missed the opportunity to ask her to get the PC on. But thank goodness with the “SOS” message, I managed to get it on. Hmmm, have been stuck at home the whole day today. Sigh. It ain’t fun. =(

Ah, dang. Looks like another moody day. Suits the weather fine, its raining, or was at least. Not sure now. Okay, just checked. Its stopped. Yay That means I can run later on. Haha, mom came out of her room at like 1 last night and didn’t see me in bed. I was outside, yuh huh. And she started to panic, haha. She thought I went outside for a run.

Well, I’m gonna run today. It sucks that we have to do this silly reflections for Character Development. What the heck am I supposed to write about? *Scratches head* Its silly… Oh well, I gotta do what needs to be done, so I gotta go ahead and do it. Think, think.

Anyway, it was fun to talk to Uncle Jerome today. Mad conversations I have with my uncle (L, for the record, we did NOT even touch the subject of his work area. ;) Is that an achievement? Haha.)… He was suggesting I find more hobbies since I’m bored to death sticking around at home. Something about art which then went to how I use my money and how to save. He thinks I should get a piggy bank to store my coins.

Okay, let me take you into my dreams. I stay in a house… A double story bungalow house in a temperate region. It is nice to have a garden once again, I am surrounded by plants of all sorts. The interior décor of the house is stunning. There is a brick wall, the colour of the room is brown and it reflects a country look. I walk down the room, touching the teak furniture, feeling the smooth contours of the chair. The parquet flooring adds another dimension to the room. Sunlight streams in through the open window that looks out to the garden.

I proceed to the kitchen where a huge wooden table sits in the centre of the room. The kitchen is full of appliances – microwave, oven, stove, refrigerator. The wooden floor looks old, as does the kitchen. There is an ‘old’ feeling to the whole house. I move upstairs, up the archaic ascent of the stairs. I reach the landing and look over the banister. Its been a long time since I’ve stayed in a double storied place. It feels wonderful to have an upstairs again.

Into one room. It is beautiful and a melody comes off from the CD player. It soothes me, creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere. There is a large kind sized bed in the middle of the room. A futuristic computer at one end of the room looks oddly out of place. The dresser on the other hand, complements the room magnificently. Old oak cupboards line one wall, I rub my hands along the door of the wardrobes. It feels nice to touch the wood. A light breeze blows causing the curtain to lift slightly. My attention is drawn to the window. I move towards it and gaze at the expanse of sky that lies before me. The view moves me to bits – I can see the peaks of mountains, pine trees lining the sides, the river the meanders around, great pastures of green. Splashes of blue, green, purple… Its so picturesque. Its now time to leave my dream and come back to reality.

I want to escape into it again. But I can’t, I’m being drawn out and I slowly realize the familiar pattern on the comforter of my bed which I now sit on. The neon green covers of the pillows are an eye sore. The pallid peach cupboards stare at me, at least a decade old. I wonder how many people have used this room before me. I don’t like the thought. I push it away. The yellow light from the ceiling shines down, illuminating the room. The evening sunlight can’t penetrate through the thick curtains, the room looks dank. I turn around and look out.

The sight isn’t gorgeous. I see a carpark with several cars parked, shades offering shelter from the blazing sun. Puddles are spread all over the gravel driveway. And across that a basketball court in its newly painted hues, blue, red, green and white. A mess of colours unlike those from view I saw from my dream home. Beyond that, a high multi-story technical institute blocks any further view. It is a grey building and as it stares back at me, I began to feel uncomfortable. It’s a depressing colour.

I escape into another dream… Its just you and me, living together. We are happy. I see you laughing, I laugh along with you. We are in a house, almost similar to the one described in my first dream. I step out onto the front porch and look down the road. Houses line the street, but I don’t mind. The neighbours are friendly, I am happy with you and my house. I stoop down and pick the papers up. Turning around, I see the house front. I smile, liking the fact that I actually own this piece of magnificent treasure.

We sit down to breakfast, its not those Asian kind, but Western. It is just nice to be near you. I enjoy your company immensely. Words cannot describe this feeling. But all too soon I am pulled out of this dream too. I fight to return to it, but the thoughts fade yet again. I am disappointed… I liked this dream too. Will I get back into it? Probably not… What a waste, what a pity.

I am tired, I’d better get some sleep… I will update this later. I gotta go call Jon Soh first. Sigh. I want to dream of you more…

Damn the rain! It started to pour again. I think I shall have to run tomorrow morning if possible. I can’t possibly come back dripping through the prep area and all the way back home. Just stop raining! I want to run. Sigh…

When I look at the stuff I eat, I just realize how unhealthy it all is. Why don’t I just give up eating at this rate? Haha. Hmmm, I wish I could plan my diets better…I wish I were more athletic than I am. Why don’t I just do the I wish list?
I wish…
I could plan what I eat better.
I were a more athletic person.
I could reverse all the years of eating junk, eating too MUCH junk that is.
I could lose weight easily, I am seriously heavy and I wanna drop my BMI. I made it to 68kg from 78kg, I hope I can drop more. I know I can.
I had a better body.
I hadn’t got these pimples on my nose.

Thank goodness the pimple cream is working, those pimples were frightfully big but have shrunk now. My skin stings a bit tough. Eck! That’s what happens when you don’t watch yer diet mom says. Right, poly food is fattening! So you expect me to take a fruit everyday and eat that and that alone? Maybe I should. But then there’s the whole deal about eating proteins and carbos as well. How is an apple protein and carbo? 0_0 I sound very messed up don’t I? Poor me. Ah, I’m going into self-pity now am I? *Whacks forehead*

I’m just going crazy I think. Since when did I become such a health nutter? Goodness knows. But now it seems kinda important. Okay, I shall stop my mad muttering here, before I bore anyone to death.

Shout outs:
L: Hey how are you feeling? Hope yer on the road to recovery cuz.
Dak: Is yer cast off? Or is it still on? Can’t wait till you get it off. =))
Dame: Hope you’ve got time to yerself to relax while working.
Fairplay: Thanks for the chat today. It was good to know more about ya.
Carl: For a 15 year old guy, yer pretty smart y’know? I was totally impressed with the way you talked about Prions and stuff like that. Keep reading up k? One day you’ll be a biologist.

Thanks to all of you

Another day gone by… Well, let’s do something different today then shall we? I’ve been a member at USG for 1 ½ years now. Long time eh, Smack? Let me congratulate ya on owning and maintaining such a great site. You have no idea how, uhm, USG changed my life. =)) So, well, today I’m gonna reflect, and thank some of the members on the site. Check out to see if yer on the list.

I can never thank ya enough for yer encouragement, listening ear and yer advice. There’s SO much to thank ya for… Even the Livestrong stuff bro. =) You always put a smile on my face. Thanks.

Wildorchid - Cuz! Well, okay, there’s a lot to say about ya (to the others: Please don’t take this personally, but since I know L as my cousin, I think I have more to say bout her. After all, I’ve known her all my life.) Yer that big sister I never had, always there to be my competition in stuff yet someone who encourages in various aspects as well. I’ll always remember the fun times we’ve had as the “Fernandez” cousins, right from the Kenny Hills days till now… The stay overs at your place, dreaming about those trips we’d take on our own without parental supervision, the kiddy games we used to play. Thanks for all the shopping you’ve helped me with, the SMS companion of mine, the listening ear when I called ya during our super long holiday, for being post girl at times… The list goes on and on. Main message? Thanks a whole lot!

Fanofsurvivor (Fano) – Hey, thanks for all yer help with the story and yer input. Yer definitely an inspiring person, determined. You gave up smoking! And took in cats from the animal shelter… You inspire like there’s no end. Thanks for that. And thanks for yer advice too.

SurvivorFanatic – Definitely a Survivor fanatic indeed. You’ve got good organizational skills, an IT expert too. I really enjoyed yer Palau Pick ‘em game. Thanks for the life you’ve injected to USG that has brought us closer to one another. Yer a mod that rocks!

Llanolover – Don’t see you around much, but, thanks for the interesting posts.
Abc123 – Hey abc, yer a really interesting person. Thanks for the advice and “alliances” (I don’t mean the game, but someone who attacks nastily, that put me in a difficult position).

Fairplay – Photoshop expert too! I like yer avatars, yer cool and funky. Thanks for the interesting posts that keep me entertained.

Magic8 – Hey, great to know yer doing okay with yer pregnancy. Although you don’t post very much, yer posts do hold a whole lotta meaning. Very insightful, thanks.

Tela123 – Haha. Tela, Tela, the passionate Harry Potter reader. I seriously don’t think yer mad, yer passionate. =) Take my word for it.

Icestorm – New member yes, but you pull yer weight a lot. Thanks for the encouragement with regards to the story gal.

Right, that’s all who I recall now. I’m sitting on my bed and listening to Dido’s White Flag over and over again. =) Reflective eh?

Ay, today was the cell’s outing. We went to bowl at the West Coast Recreation Centre and played pool too. I know I suck at both, so don’t ask for the outcome of my games. I shall die from embarrassment. Then we went to eat Japanese food, I had salmon. =))

Other than that, it has been a rather quiet day. Rest and recuperate I guess. Yeah, I’ve been thinking of ya today too. And missing ya s’more. Well, considering I went to bed at 5 and woke up at 10, its no wonder I feel tired. Especially when I only had 4 hours of sleep yesterday. Why’s my life so busy?

Speaking of busy, projects… I have no idea what we are doing for ICP. I messaged Arisya today and asked her if we were going to meet tomorrow. She says “Oh, we are meeting tomorrow?”. Big sis, yer supposed to be the group leader, the one who makes the calls, the shots. If we meet tomorrow, it depends on you, and your decision. I know, Shahid is also on holiday, but, could we get our project done before it’s overdue? FOM, at least Weijie is proposing to do it on Wednesday. Good call. =)) DTP on the other hand, slack… I am not worrying, I’m just reviewing. If you ask me, I wouldn’t mind slacking this holidays either.

That just reminds me, I saw Kam Lin at the Clementi NTUC (super mart) while I was there tonight. Hahaha. Of all people to meet while yer on holiday, you have to see yer lecturer eh?

Okay, mom and dad and Frederick are watching their obsession outside. It irritates me. They say I’m obsessed about some people when I’m not. They say its okay to have some obsessions in life. Then they come down hard on me for apparently being “obsessed” about these people when I’m not. Get lost! And take yer F1 away with ya. I hate F1 (to put things straight to the readers, I’m not mad at them now. I’ve put this behind me, but I’m just expressing how I feel about the whole obsession thing, seriously, they’re obsessed about F1! Mom shushed me up when I tried to talk to her earlier.).

Anyhow, the apprentice will be showing soon. Am going to save this and get on with the shout outs later on. Thanks to everyone (I’m in such a reflective mood today eh?).

Shout outs:
L: Hey, found yer voice yet? Lol. Lotsa rest n lotsa water k?
Dak: Got yer cast off yet? *excited*
Dame: Haven’t seen ya around in ages man… Yer presence is missed.

Truth be told, I miss ya

Song of today: None
___________________________________________

Hmmm… Today’s a kinda moody day again. Went on since 8am, found out about some new contestants on Survivor: Guatemala. Right now, I’ve found out we have S and B, Rafe Judkins, Danielle “Danni” Boatwright, the biker guy, the cheerleader gal and Gary Hogeboom confirmed as contestants on Guatemala. That’s 7 confirmed people. If the Irma, Reed and Amy contestants are real, then we have 10 out of 18! =)

At the beginning (okay, so far), my favourite contestant is Rafe Judkins. Goodness knows for what reason, he just stands out. Yeah…

Aww shucks, Our Lady Peace’s “Somewhere out there”. Sigh… This song… Ah, nevermind, forget it.

Yeh… Haven’t heard from some folks in awhile. Dang, am I side tracking again? Okay, I might as well just revert back to my original idea for the post, that is, if it can be called an idea at all (I sound mad with myself =/ ).

Right, okay, so at about noon we (mom, dad, Fred, I ) go out to IMM and have lunch. Again, I can’t eat much. Okay, you all know how little rice is given with Japanese food right? I didn’t even finish the rice. Yeah, shows how “hungry” I am right? And just last night I whacked my spaghetti. I am one weird person.

And so here I am, after coming back for what was a super-extended visit to the hsopping centre. I wanted to come home after lunch but they had to go find something or other. Sigh.

I’m gonna go crash right now… My eyes can barely stay open. Had little sleep last night…

Okay, I’m back to posting. Anyway, sigh, I miss ya a lot. I’ll wait patiently for ya. =D

Shout outs:
L: Thanks for the messages today.
Dak: Hmmmm, heads up and stay strong? =)) Believe okay? You know what I mean.
Dame: Glad you’ve got income coming in. You should make quite a bit eh? You deserve it.
Fano: I’m sorry to hear about the euthanisation. I know it feels bad to put any animal to sleep, moreover if they were a really close pet.

End of term

Song of today: Don’t Speak [No Doubt]
___________________________________________

Sigh… I’m going to have less of the laptop around. At least, for the next 5 weeks. Mom will need it on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sigh…

Today is one of those moody days for me… Sigh… I suppose you can tell by the number of “sigh”s appearing all over eh? Oh well… It seems Fridays are always moody days. =/

Okay, so what am I thinking of today? I’m thinking of some friends of mine, cause the song “Yellow” by Coldplay right now reminds me of them. And, also how I’m going to miss my laptop as well… Sad, sad. =(

Suddenly, everything seems so much lighter. =)) I’m kinda happy, lol. Instant mood change eh? Oh well… Anyway, was busy cooking lunch for my bro (Frederick). Mom mad me cook! I mean, she says she’s busy but she’s been watching TV and stuff. Oh well, the attitude of servanthood… Uhm, yeah, so I’ve been doing spaghetti.

Recently, I noticed I’m not very hungry. =/ Is there something wrong with me? Am I okay? 0_0 I hope so. Cause I just eat a little then I’m not hungry anymore. I had something around 8.30 to 9 this morning. Its about 10.30 now, I’m not hungry. Okay, point taken. Its not even lunch hour yet, but would you looking at red tomato paste make your appetite grow? Hello? We learnt in DTP that red encourages appetite… SO, like, shouldn’t I be getting hungrier? Apparentlty not. Okay, so I’m the atypical person.

You want to know what I had for dinner last night? Curry puff, some of Shaun, Zhao Jie and Weijie’s tempura and XXL chicken. Very little for “dinner”. Idon’t get why my appetite has shrunk. Oh well… Weird things always happen.

Right, it’s the last day of the term! Right, Mr. Wong just came in. Update later k?

Alright! Term 1 is over for us! Freedom for a week. Wow! Okay, the class is thinking of having a barbeque during the break. That’s cool. Everyone’s got different stuff on tonight, so, we’ve all split up. ZhiLi is meeting her friends somewhere along Orchard, Nicole (although sitting at the table at the food court) is going with her friends to watch Wet Dreams 2, Weijie and Kay Miang have band, Alison has tuition, Gajan is here eating with me, Ifah has gone home, Xin Le has her jap exam, Reg is jamming, Zhao Jie had to go to work, Mesh went home, Carol was absent anyway, Arisya is with Syahid, Shaun is off to Bangkok, Nad disappeared, See Jun has squash and Dione went home too. Why in the world am I talking about who went where? That’s it – I’m nuts!

Uhm, its still kind of early, think Chong Hwa let us off early. Haiz… Sigh. Its cool, the thought of being on holiday right now. But… I’m missing my eye candy right now. Its getting kind of boring. There’s nothing to discuss… Yawn.

Goin out to ya: I miss ya, miss ya a lot. But I shall stay strong... =( I shall stay strong.

Shout outs:
Dak: Good to know yer okay.
Dame: I’m sure you’ve been busy since you came back. Hope the cat hasn’t been in yer way too much. =/

Sigh. I. Am....

Song of today: White Flag [Dido]
___________________________________________

Hey this week I’m surprised at how I’ve managed my money. =)) I still have $10 as of Thursday after lunch. That’s so great! Haha. One and a half day more to holidays. Wow! Its already been two months eh? I shall “copy” Weijie on this section and reflect how well I know each classmate.

Nicole – Known as she dog to some, she’s that funky chick in the class with an edge in her sense of humour.

Dione – The so called “bimbo” of the class. She’s also the tallest gal around, yeah, TALL giant le. Don’t make me look short okay? Lol.

Me – I know me very well (I feel lame for putting this in here :P ).

Alison – Ally, the dancer. She’s a professional at time management. Always gets top grades yet has a super hectic schedule. Impressive!

Ifah – The crazy and mad girl of the class. She’s very funny lah… Hahahaha. Her counter part would be Zhao Jie I guess. Heheheheheh….

Arisya – The big sister that’s a lil’ aloof at times. Also the first person I “made contact” with on day one of the orientation. Hey, just ‘cause her brain’s not where she is don’t mean she don’t have any. Don’t let her fool you.

Nadhirah – Nad!!! The cute “hamster” gal of the class. =)) Very generous, but also quiet at times.

See Jun – Ha, the squash player. The tennis gal too. Princess of Tennis? Maybe.

Zhao Jie – The lame class clown. He makes us laugh so hard. Thanks for all those lame jokes and impersonations. Heheh, “she dog”!

Kay Miang – The band freak. I don’t think she’s ever missed one band prac at all. Wow, committed sia! =)

Gajan – Gajan! Mr. Big Ego at times, but also very a friendly guy. Hahaha. Typing this while next to you eh? Then again, I was also next to Kay Miang. ;) Hope that ye can get yer sling off sometime soon dude. Rock on eh? (You better not slam me, else I’ll switch off the music on the laptop!!!)

Weijie – This guy… Hmmm, what do I know about him? He also is very passionate about band, but not yet a band freak like Kay Miang. He hides a lot of his qualities, but once you get to know him well, you can see his true colours (not an insult!). Tries to act modest, but, hey, why be modest when yer really good at something? Glad yer opening up more (or so I read on yer blog).

Kamesh – May be a mad-hatter at times. Uh, yer friends are very “interesting” and “colourful” people le…. 0_0

Xin Le – The camera gal. You know SO much about how to use the video cam and all! I want to be in your group if we need to do any camera work okay? Hahahaha.

Shaun – Our very own Jim Carrey! Rubber faced, funny too! Don’t let him have your phone if it can take multi-shot pictures. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Regina – The goth gal. She likes to laugh and claims my laughter is infectious. It is? 0_0 Okay… She’s always bullying the other guys, but for some reason can’t me. =) I’m immune! Yeehah!

Carol – The design gal. Too bad I’m not in your group for the DTP project lah… She’s also very funny (remember when you started singing in the middle of the ICP lecture? Hahahahahahah! )

ZhiLi- The lastest addition to our cool crazy class. Although she came in late, she fit in seamlessly. She’s very good with the computer.

Aiight! That sums up DMC1A05, the class of the year. Cool? We rock right? Uh-huh, knew you’d agree.

Anyway, am glad I managed to finish my DTP on time. All assignments done. Task complete! I like the business card I did. Okay, I’m conceited.

Update later, Kam Lin just walked in.

Right, we did our CC test today as well, that was a toughie. =/ And after that went all the way to Tampines (eastern end of the island). Yes, Tampines. I guess we owe it to Shaun since he’s always going around the western end of the island so this time we went to his area instead.

Thanks guys for the food. =) Okay, I have had “dinner”. I don’t feel hungry for the real dinner anymore… Sigh, oh well. On the train ride back, talked with Weijie all the way. We took the train to Pasir Ris so we could get seats and then all the way back to our western areas. Amazing we had so much to talk about. Haha. It was a good chat bud.

Oh my gosh, tomorrow is like the last day of school!!! 0_0 Wow. I’ll be free for a week then. Sigh. Right. Look forward, look forward.

Uhm, okay, am trying to create a poem…
I wish we were near,
That you were here,
Then it’d be bliss,
Cause you I won’t miss…

Okay, uhm, I think I have had enough of trying to think of poems. Sigh. You know who you are, And I’m thinking of ya… =(

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it well I'd still have felt it,where's the sense in that
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were but
I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door,
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again
And I caused but nothing but trouble,
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over" then I'm sure that that makes sense but
I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door,I'm in love and always will be
And when we meet, which I'm sure we will
All that was there, will be there still I'll let it pass, and hold my tongue
And you will think, that I've moved on....
I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door,I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door,I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door,I'm in love and always will be

Quote:
“I will go down with this ship,
And I won’t put my hands up and surrender,
There will be NO white flag above y ship,
I’m in love, and ALWAYS will be.”

"And when we meet, I'm sure we will."

Shout outs:
L: Cuz, hope you get better soon. Take care.
Dak: Yowza. How ya doin?
Dame: Wonder if yer back yet…

I'm thinking again...

Song of today: Truly Madly Deeply [Savage Garden]
___________________________________________

Wow, I can barely keep my eyes open. I’m tired… Chong Hwa’s lecture is going to be on in 1 hour. Hope I don’t fall asleep. I nearly did in Kam Lin’s yesterday. Sigh. Thank goodness for the candyman and the candyshop! My sweets came in handy. But I don’t think there’s even time for sweets in Chong Hwa’s lecture, haha. Its all about copying.

Right, I still have my DTP to do. I’ve got to colour the cubic art, paste the colour scheme work in, draw my hands again and take a photo and print it out. That’s a lot to do for tomorrow. Sigh. And I got to make a special trip to go get colour pencils. Oh, and I’m supposed to come up with a logo to do in class tomorrow.

When are our other projects due? I know DTP is on week 11. Do they count next week as week 9 still? Its supposed to be holiday week. And we haven’t even started on our DTP project. I have an idea though… Its just getting together as a group and then deciding on one idea to go along with. Thing is, we haven’t even MET as a group yet. Oh well…

Its 0812… I only have to leave at 0840, that’s a lil less than half and hour. I feel like sleeping… Lol. But if I do, when I wake, I’ll be really drowsy. And I’ll have to start the day all over again. Dang.

Right, I’m happy. Next week I’m gonna pick up running again. I’m going to see how I can work running into my normal routine too. I haven’t been running in awhile, I still want to run. Its like, okay, how do I describe this? =/ Its like you’ve been so used to doing something, that when you stop, you want to start doing it again.

Sigh… Today’s one of those days that you just wander through, unaware of what else is happening around you. Its as though you just breeze through the day, oblivious to other occurances (I’m repeating myself aren’t I). I mean, all I know that’s happened today is I went to school, came back, tried to look for someone, went for ITB, went out and ate lunch, came home, slept till 1930, woke up, ate again and just “completed” my DTP.

That’s all I know… What happened in the news? No idea. What new developments? I dunno. Its as though today is “My inner world day”. Oh well… It just breezed by so quickly too!

Why Truly Madly Deeply today? Kinda reflective (okay, I have the mood but ain’t done any reflecting exactly).
I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cos I'm counting on
A new beginning.
A reason for living.
A deeper meaning.
Chorus
I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me ...
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry.
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest power.
In lonely hours.
The tears devour you.
Chorus
Bridge
Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes 'cos it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come ...
I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do ...
Chorus (repeat until fade)
I want to stand with you on a mountain ...

Sigh, I’ll deal with the shout outs now then.

Shout outs:
L: Hey! How’s the projects going cuz? Well? I hope so, hope they turn out like mine with generally good results.
Dak: Heya. Countdown to the day the cast comes off? =))
Dame: Yer suppose to be wrapping up in Chicago right?
Arisya: Thanks for remembering I wasn’t at the Mac’s today big sister!

One in a million

Song of today: Right Here Waiting [Richard Marx]
_________________________________________

Okay, I thought that this is a nice song and so I chose it to be today’s song. =))

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you

Today I feel happy again. =) Maybe it’s cause I don’t need to play dress up again for OC? I dunno, but today feels like it’s a great day. I’m not on a high, but neither am I on a low.

I am right though, today is kind of a good day. I didn’t go to the OC class though, skipped. No point in me going anyway, I’ve done my presentation and am not going to learn anything in the 2 ½ hours there cause others are doing their presentation. Trouble is Sheryl Kan saw me, Arisya and Mesh walking off… So, dunno what she’s going to do. Prolly nothing knowing her.

Yeah, so I’ve just come back and am here tapping away. It’s been another stormy day and the clouds and sky have been grey. That reminds me of yesterday, while we were out at Marina Square, we walked across the pedestrian bridge to Suntec City. One of the roads was semi-flooded and so we stood there like mad maniacs waiting for a car or vehicle to pass through the water. Okay, to describe us, imagine people at the theme park waiting for one of those water rides to plummet down and create a splash. Yeah. Lol. We were like that.

A taxi was the first to take the plunge, literally. It looked like a boat. Haha, yeah, the water totally covered the wheels. That’s how deep the water level was. And when a motorcycle rode through, it looked like a jet-ski! Hahahahaha! Oh well, teenagers find certain things amusing. You may think we are mad, but, I don’t think so. It’s all got to do with perception. ;)

Okay, today’s great great! I mean, it’s been flowing so well. And lots of stuff making it easy too. The Current Affairs and Debating Club (CADC) project committee meet was canceled for some reason and cell was pushed forward to next week. Wow! This is the first time I’ve been home so early on a Tuesday. =)) When I went back to school, guess who I should meet? Yes, Sheryl Kan, whose lesson I skipped today. But she didn’t say she was mad or anything, she appeared indifferent. Yes, I chatted with her for awhile, believe it or not. She even wished me happy holidays. 0_0 Wow! Great eh?

Then, of course, there are other things during the day that can make you feel good, happy. But I think I’ve rambled on long enough about today, so, well, I shan’t delve into them. =)

Its been a nice day. Even as the thoughts of the holidays dawn, it just gets even cooler. I’m sinking into dreamland again… I’m imagining… I can’t wait. Oh well, two days down, three to go!

I wish again…
I could get that Coldplay CD (dang, I want that bad)

Shout outs:
L: Heyo. How’re the projects going?
Dak: Yo! Glad that things going great for ya.
Dame: How’s Chicago? Fun?
Xin Le: Okay, thanks for the testimonial on friendster. ;) Hey!!! Its true, you bully me! Haha. I don’t show off lah, come on, you know I’m very modest right (see the big smile à =)) )? LOL. This is getting lame.

The day: Explained

Okay, so we're going to get the real low-down of the day then.

8.00-10.00Am
Creative Communication (CC) module with Chng Suan Tze
Okay, the moment I stepped into the class I saw her there already, bright and early. She was walking around the room and had finished telling them something. She then gave out papers and to my horror I realised it was a test. I didn't know we were scheduled a test that day. Thank goodness the majority of the class didn't either and came in later. So she retracted the test and postponed it to Thursday.

10.00Am-3.00Pm
5 hour break in between lessons
Right, so we went to town to spend our fuve hours. Then it started raining. Awesome. It made the mall's air-conditioning even colder. I loved that... But then of course, I guess that started me on thinking. Uhm, we just wandered all over the place. The burger joint we went to was quite expensive. On the way home, the candyman announced he was back in town with 5 bars of sweets. Haha. Welcome to the candyshop. I want my eye candy though, which sadly, is unavailable here. =(

3.00-5.00Pm
Info Technology for Business (ITB) with William Tan
This lesson went quite fast. I finished everything by 4.30... Spent the rest of the time surfing the net.

Anyway, Suan made us do this skit/play and come up with our own script. I altered someone else's to make it, in my opinion, funnier. Hahahaha! Will post it up soon.

Sigh... I wonder how you are, what yer doing.

I can't stop thinking...

Song of today: Last Thing On My Mind [Ronan Keating & Leann Rimes]
___________________________________________________________

Hmmm, jealousy… That’s something I’ve managed to cut down in my life recently. And I’m proud of that. =) Jealousy shouldn’t have a place in my heart. I’m not jealous, no. Maybe I used to be of some stuff, but not any more. I’m contented with what I have. =)) Coz what I have is great!

What was I jealous of? Hmmm… Maybe its been that long since I was jealous that I forgot what I was jealous of? Haha! Anyway, yeah, I think I used to be jealous of all those people that could be able to manage money and time so well. I used to be jealous of my brother for having more money in the bank than me for sure.

But now… Things have changed. I’m not jealous, things are going great. And I’m finding myself happy these days. Sorta like having my head in the clouds. But its all thanks to you really. =))

Anyway, watched the premiere of the Apprentice 3 last night on Channel 5. Its good to have The Apprentice back. The Burger King task was awesome too! I liked that one. I wonder if Arisya and Taliban watched as well. Lol. We are the Reality TV freaks of DMC. Oh, Weijie is too. He downloaded all the Apprentice 3 episodes and has watched them. Lucky guy!

I think Todd deserved to be fired. He just took the opportunity as Project Manager to sit back and relax. All he did was sit at that table the first day. The Street Smarts were great! They knew how to run stuff, and John’s early morning speech to all the staff was the best. I think that really motivated them. You know what? I think watching TV should be made part of our homework. The Apprentice is such fertile ground for us FOM students to learn marketing approaches from. Even in last night’s episode alone. The Book Smarts had this lousy promotion. Something about throwing a ping pong ball into the hole.

Contrast this with the Street Smarts who actually got a lucky draw and the winner won two tickets to Las Vegas, Nevada the next day! They sounded so much more professional than those college grads.

Yeah, well, I know who wins. And from episode one, they look great already. Yep. So here I am with 11 other classmates sitting in a Carl’s Junior outlet in Marina Square. It’s the 5 hour break. To be frank, I’m missing ya a lot… =( But, sigh, oh well. I’ll think of other good stuff. =)) I know I’ll feel better then.

Sigh. There’s a wireless connection here. Its cool. Its also free. ;)

I wanna start running again. I haven't had time to do so... Sigh........
*Can't stop thinking.... I'm in Dreamland.

Shout outs:
Dak: Heyo. Haiz, how’re ya doing?
Dame: Have a safe trip! *Waves*

I must be mad

This is so funny. I’m talking to my cousin L on the phone. She likes a guy. He likes a gal. She ask who he likes, he asks who she likes. Neither want to say. 0_0 Could it possibly end up with he liking her, she liking him, but neither wanting to say? Hahahahahaha!

I think she should just be direct and go tell the guy. He should also be direct and go tell whoever she is. I am SO good at being a relationship-counsellor. Hahahahahaha! Rubbish! It really would be better to show yer true feelings so the other person. Makes you even feel better I’m sure. Oh well, why’m I playing the cousellor??? 0_0

I think this should come under the category of special post now I come to think of it. Hahahaha… This feels lame…

Survivor-mad. I need a doctor!

Cause then I can like go to a cooler country? Lol. Sorry to do that, I shouldn’t have made it sound like I’m only going to yer wedding so I can get the temperate climate. =/

Well, today I’m lost in the clouds again. Yeah, so anything else don’t really matter much. I’m not paying attention to it. Chiew Yen should be dropping by later, wonder if she’s going to bring Emmanuel (my niece; cousin’s daughter). Its hard to believe that Emmanuel is 2 years old already. She’s really cute. =))

I think I’m going to be on another high today… Lol. What is wrong with me man??? Oh well… Just stick with it.

Now comes the BIG question, what do I do during the 5 hour break tomorrow? 5 hours! That’s madness!!! Maybe we’ll go celebrate Zhao Jie’s birthday? Or Arisya may have planned for us to do our ICP. Anyhow, I have no idea how to divvy up this break. Its so long.

Okay, am back to listening to the Ancient Voices songs. Something about it is kinda intriguing. I like to analyse them too. So, since I’ve nothing better to do, I shall analyse the current 10 available ones…
Ancient Voices of Boneo – This was the original one but it too, has certain characteristics of its own. For instance, at the last part of the song, there is an obvious flame sound that is missing in all future themes. This became the base for future Ancient Voices themes.

Ancient Voices of The Australian Outback – This was the first of the other Ancient Voices themes to include other elements into the original Borneo theme. The didgeridoo was the only thing included. As Survivor was only in its second season, I guess the producers didn’t want to go overboard and experiment too much with the logo and theme.

Ancient Voices of Africa – This one had different people chanting the main part of the theme. I think they got the tribal Africans to do it or something. But it certainly sounded quite different from the previous two, and since it was different, it added a new perspective on how to approach future themes. I like the traditional African chants in this one (not referring to the main chanting in the centre piece of the theme).

Ancient Voices of Marquesas – This one reverted back to the original Borneo theme with Polynesians shouting their war yells occasionally. It sounded kind of subdued after the African theme.

Ancient Voices of Thailand – Probably the most unique of all themes. The central chanting was probably done by Asian women from Thailand. The percussions used were extremely Asian. The flute section is very captivating. Generally, one would definitely identify this theme as Thai.

Ancient Voices of The Amazon – This theme made use of the Amazonian chants by natives. A bit similar to the African ones, but if one were to listen closely to the theme, there are difference. Mainly in the “words” used. Otherwise, the tone is kind of similar. The central chanting was done by natives I assume.

Ancient Voices of The Pearl Islands – This theme quickly shot to one of my favourites. The use of animal calls debuted in this theme with the Humpback whales’ calls. The theme is heavily leaden with the pirate theme of the season. The fiddle parts make you think you’re the conductor and this theme is just different.

Ancient Voices of All Stars – A combo of ALL previous seasons, there is very strong influences from the Australian Outback, Africa, Marquesas, Amazon and Pearl Islands seasons. The original and Thailand themes are a bit hard to detect. They are feature in the opening section where all elements of the later themes were silenced and there was only the original music playing (I think if according to the opening video, somewhere around the “18 castaways” section). The Thailand theme on the other hand acted as a background, with the gong going off rather silently (The section where Tina tries to make fire in the opening video). This theme had to be slightly longer as there needed to be sufficient time to showcase 18 castaways in 3 tribes instead of the usual 16 castaways in 2 tribes. It also did away with most of the central chanting and focused on the elements introduced in other themes.

Ancient Voices of Vanuatu – This theme NEVER fails to make me think of someone. Anyway, the traditional Vanuatan chants are used for this theme. The central chant is also marginally different. Heavy use of percussion in this theme. Theme had to be longer and more like that of the All Stars theme as the number of contestants in this one was bumped up to 18 castaways in 2 tribes.

Ancient Voices of Palau – Very strong military influence to showcase the theme of this season (starts with a military shout “Hooahh!”). I like the way it combines traditional Palauan chants with the war yells. It is my favourite theme at the moment. This theme had to be slightly longer than those of All Stars and Vanuatu as the number of contestants to be introduced shot up to 20 castaways in 2 tribes.

My current favourite them: Palau.

Okay, enough of the survivor (nonsense). Themes don’t matter as much as how the game is played. Oh well, trust me to look into other stuff and get side-tracked. Anyway, its down to 2 ½ months before Guatemala is shown! Oh yeah! And they would be merging by now, if this season isn’t like Palau where one tribe annihilated another. I’m busy trying to find out who the cast are. So far, it seems good. I think we may have a few good looking ones this time round, again. And Bobby Jon and Stephenie from Palau are rumoured to be playing the game again. I wonder how far they can make it in the game if they aren’t in there only as ceremonious roles. 0_0

Okay, I am happy again. I am on a high as well… Dear me, I think I have talked too much about survivor now! I’d better just quit it before I start ranting on and on about it again.

*I wanted to put Elvis Presley's "I can't help falling in ove with you" for today's song, but, it just doesn't fit the mood. Sorry Evis, it's a great song though. =)

Shout outs:
L: You’d better stop shooting yerself down cuz… Yer SO not an idiot. ;)
Dak: Hey hey, someone has a long tongue eh? Lol. Well, one more week till the cast is off isn’t that right? Lots for you to look forward to. I’m glad for that.
Dame: Well, yer gonna be leaving for Chicago soon. Do an excellent job (What am I saying?! I know you will). Enjoy the sights and sounds, oh, and tastes of Chicago while yer there. I know it’s a nice place.
Mko: I’ll definitely have to go to Chicago once in my life, the way you’ve described it is fantabulous!

On A High

Song of today: Never Saw It Coming [Hoobastank]
_________________________________________

Today is looking much brighter. That’s good. =))

I just realized a lot of stuff… Some things you just have never experienced before. Its like stepping into new ground, know what I mean? Okay, I’m trying to find a song for this “occasion”. Looking through my songs. Hope you all know what I’m talking about here. ;) I seem to talk in riddles…

Anyway, yeah, its hard to describe, literally. Okay, I’ll use some of the lyrics from Summer Sunshine to aid this description.

“In the heat of,
Summer Sunshine,
I miss you,
Like nobody else…”

Uhm, maybe not those lyrics? But anyway, I feel elated. Right, my head’s in the clouds… Sigh, I just like to think of happy things at the moment. Are my eyes glazed over? 0_0 LOL!

I remember the times past. Can’t imagine someone liked me before, cool eh? That was ages ago and she had a crush on me… Lol. I was what, only 12? Right, you can tell I’m very off today eh? Just happy… Okay, I may be on a high. But that’s good no? I promise, (okay, okay, I swear) I’m not drunk. I haven’t had alcohol since last year’s Christmas. I’m sane. But I’m just high… And mad. And crazy. (Do I need to go to the mental hospital?)

Why am I happy, even high? I’m thinking of happy stuff I guess. Very happy stuff. L, she’s seeing her Insanely Sane gang and is probably having a great time with them at Times Square. That’s good, cause then she can get time with her best friend Ju, who will be leaving for Hong Kong soon. Happy stuff eh? But there’s more happy stuff, which I shan’t say as of now. Haha. Happy, happy.

The most appropriate lyrics for now would be One Love…
“Its kind of funny,
How life can change,
Can flip one-eighty,
In a matter of days…

Some days love works in,
Mysterious ways,
One day you wake up,
Gone without a trace…”

I think you should get the picture by now right? Yesterday I was so moody and today I’m so high. Oh well…

Today we had to entertain some guests from Thailand. We went to eat at Thai express. Uhm, I miss the green curry… And we didn’t have Tom Yam either. Oh well… At least we had soft shell crabs. =)) Hmmmm, dunno what else to say. Lol. Amazing, I’m at a lost for words and this time it doesn’t involve someone who’s down. Haha. I’ve been told I talk too much at times. I think so too… Sadly, I think so too…

Shout outs:
Dak: Just wanna say thanks to ya – you should know why. ;)
Dame: Thanks to you too! Don’t think I need to say why.
Ifah: Heyo, thanks for the testi yo! Oh, thanks for going out to eat at Lot 1 the other day too. Didn’t thank ya for that. Hmmm, will do my best to get the story moving okay?

Song of today: Summer Sunshine [The Corrs]
____________________________________

Hey hey, class is still WAY down the road of hours. Its like not even 9 in the morning and class is at 12. =)) Am listening to the depressing song of “In The End” again. What is wrong with me? Oh well…

I’ve been thinking a lot, about how hard I’m pushing at things… Am I like dad? Work hard and unable to relax? Sigh. I sure hope not! Cause, I’m still like thinking about the Job Spider thingy although it’s a week ago it surfaced. And just thinking and thinking. =/ I don’t do a lot of stuff other than think and maybe worry do I? Like I’ve told someone before, I think too much. I need to live in the moment so to say. Release everything, let your hair down, go wild…

Yeah, well… Let’s make today a great day. I’m going to have fun, be positive about things and just let it pass without a worry!

Hahahahaha! Let me tell you what just happened. Okay, well, its just 9 in the morning now and mom saw me out in the living room. Then she remarks, “don’t you have class? Jon! What lecture are you skipping?!” So much for me putting up my timetable. Lol. Anyway, she then went and checked it and realized her mistake.

Hmmmm… Feeling kind of bored and lethargic. Oh well, come on! It’s Friday, there’s a lot to look forward to! Don’t be such a wet blanket!

Okay, went out with Ifah to eat dinner, we had chicken wraps. =) But pity, unable to run tonight. It rained quite a bit. At least things are cool now. We got back our FOM test results. I got 73% which is a B. Yeah, B for bummer… I must get an A. =/ Okay, don’t take it so hard on yerself! It’s just one test and it’s 10% of your module marks. Now you know your results, get out there and work at it so you get an A. =)

I wish…
I could have the inspiration to create a poem right now…
I could go to North America and backpack there…
I had better control of my finances…
I have the discipline to keep myself in a routine…
I could have done better in my CAs…
I could have ya here, by my side…
The term will end well.

Arrrggghhh… I can’t stand it anymore. It seems that there’s something wrong with today. =/ I try to be positive and laugh and stuff, but it’s like my mood isn’t there. I just can’t explain it. It’s like there’s a void, now what am I saying? Oh gosh. I need something to cure this insanity streak. Sigh… Its as though there’s an emptiness in me somewhere and its causing this day to get imbalanced. Now I don’t know what the heck I’m talking about!

I’m reading something about Apprentice 4 and someone said Survivor seasons are a toss up for good ones or bad ones. Oh well…

Shout outs:
Dak: Heyo, been busy? Hope yer summer’s going fine.
Dame: Hey, thanks for yer positive outlook on everything, it’s been teaching me a lot of stuff. Hope I’ll look at things more positively.

In the end, I came through

Song of today: In The End [Linkin Park]
_____________________________________________

Okay, so why “In The End” for song of the day? I dunno, I think it describes the mood of the day best. Like the weather outside I guess, a bit dark… Oh well, weird me eh? Guess I’m just moody today. Anyway, I know something will cheer me up. Am looking forward to it. Tomorrow is Friday… One week till term break!!!

The ICP test was today, I know I did my best while doing the test, nothing I can do about it and my conscience is clean – No Cheating! But I feel bad, like I’m dead. As if the test killed me. The questions were harder than those in the tutorial… Okay, stop worrying! You know you did try to study. But Ms. Hui didn’t put any questions up on the blackboard, you did want to attempt some and try to see how good you are. What you studied didn’t come out. No Kinch model! =( I know that one by heart and understand it well…

“I put my trust in you…
Pushed as far as I can go…
For all this there’s only one thing you should know…
(Repeat)
I tried so hard and got so far…
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter…
I had to fall to lose it all…
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter…”

The lyrics sound so depressing. =/ Sigh, oh well… Change of tracks.

Anyway, the CC lesson today was interesting – Drama! I didn’t know I would like it… 0_0 Shows how much I know ‘bout myself eh? Lol. We did an improvisation exercise, to quite funny results. Wish we could do that again. And the lesson made me think of someone who took drama in the past year (you know who you are ;) ).

So, now we need to write a script and do a skit. Totally my stuff! I wanna do the best script I’ve ever done. Sigh… I’m thinking about the Super Squad right now… I should get back to chapter 11. =)) I will, I will… This, I promise you!

Shout outs:
L: Well, got back my “article” piece and I got 7/10 for it. Yeah, I wish we could do stuff like your NiE here… I’d love to do that.
Dak: Hey hey, how’re ya doin? Good I hope.
Dame: Drama, never knew how much I liked it till today… I know in my third year I WILL be taking the elective – script writing.
Nad: Heyo, me and you to the “prom”? Lol, I liked that line. But, finally we’re in the same task force eh? =)) Let’s kick ass in this skit!

Noth To Do

Song of today: There You’ll Be [Faith Hill]
___________________________________

Okay, we’re at the guild house again. Pool’s fully booked and bowling’s under maintainence. Sigh, so we’re stuck with nought to do in the Business Centre. But I’m happy. Why? Cause Arisya just transferred some Our Lady Peace songs to me. =)) Our Lady Peace rocks! Thanks Dame for intro-ing me to ‘em. Rock on!

Lounging around, lah-di-da-dum… We still got 1 hour and 15 minutes to go… Then it’s ITB. They’re discussing songs, I’m typing my blog post. There’s nothing to do. It’s boring. Is that why I’m doing this post when the day is barely half-through? Oh well… I should be creating the story right? Am wondering how I should continue chapter 11 from where I left off. Sigh…

I’m searching for a song for today, something meaningful? Right now I’m listening to Jojo’s Leave. Anywy, listening, or rather playing, the songs on my laptop seem to excite my classmates. How had the class split today, hmmm…. Okay, Nad’s at the Retail Place, 10 of us are here in the guild, 6 are in town and Weijie is still sleeping? Hope he brings my ICP lecture notes back.

Faith Hill is good. Remembering our graduation day song, There You’ll Be… Hmmm, there you’ll be. Hey, the lyrics are cool. Definitely owe so much to you. Okay, I think this will be the song for today then. =)) I especially like the part where it goes “I’ll keep a part of you with me” and ‘Everywhere I am, there you’ll be”.

Okay, let’s talk about singers then. =))
Our Lady Peace-I like their awesome style of singing, definitely cool
Avril Lavigne-Angsty, but I like it
Ashlee Simpson-Uhm, haven’t heard much of her but Lala, hmm, catchy
Ryan Cabrera-On The Way Down is definitely his all famous song, nice!
Phantom Planet-California!!! The singers made popular by the OC. Awesome.
The Killers-What can I say? My online name’s Killer88 and I like The Killers.
Greenday-Their songs are cool, rock superbly.
Gwen Stefanie-Rebel kind of songs? What You Waiting For is very upbeat
Hoobastank-How can I NOT love these guys?
Kelly Clarkson-Your Behind These Hazel eyes, moving…
U2-I like Beautiful Day, it’s awesome and the songs captivate my heart

Okay, am out with Halimah "Taliban" from 02, Arisya, Zhao Jie and Weijie. We're supposed to be studying our ICP, but more like we were just talking rot and laughing so hard. Weijie, please promise never to sing that "Yeah...... So......" song again. Its just too funny for words man! And poor "Taliban", she couldn't finish her burger. It took her one hour to get half of it down.

Right, so getting to the ICP topic... Hope I can remember all the stuff. Okay, Self-Concept --> Behaviour --> Actual response of others --> Perceived response of others. Yes! I remember that, uh, K-something diagram.

Traits of an effective communicator:
Able to adjust message to target audience, aware of self and others, able to use and interpret verbal and non-verbal messages and a good listener! I did this as well, aiight!

Enough rambling for a day already....

Shout outs:
L: Cuz, hope you checked the blog and maybe found my suggestions useful?

Unleash The Dragon

Song of today: Come What May [Ewan McGreggor & Nicole Kidman]
_________________________________________________________

Well, was just thinking of this song, and thinking of someone. Yeah, come what may… =)

Okay, so I pon-ed (skipped) ITB the other day… And William Tan marked me as absent for 2 days. Oh well, I’m going fer yer lesson tomorrow, so don’t worry dude. Anyway, was fun to go to Swensen’s with Reg, Nic and Gajan. Ice-cream rocks eh? Okay, I have had too much ice-cream, its time to start cutting down on that sugar snack (since when did I become such a health nut?!).

Today was just a mad rush for the OC presentation. Damn, I hope I get an A for this section… =/ Please be lenient with me and give me an A+! But I kinda felt bad cause we like took one hour to do our mock presentation before being taped. I mean, Sheryll should have stopped us when she knew we were going on too long and told us to cut it down. To DMC1A05: I’m really, really sorry we bored ya to death. But anyway, a BIG THANKS to someone cause after I told ya some stuff I felt much better and far less down. I don’t like to name names, so I won’t go into details.

As for ICP, well, communication is cool. I kinda like this module, core as it is. I understand it well, hope to do well for the upcoming CA1! =))

Now, for the prankster in me, I did go ahead with playing the pranks on people in school today. Lol. The invisible ink one that is. Arisya thought her shirt was really stained and Ifah screamed like mad when she saw the big blotch on her tudung (malay head scarf). All in good fun sista’s!

Yeah, the class went socializing once again after OC today, KFC was the usual hang out. I wonder how often we’ve eaten KFC. Lol. Okay, its gonna be mid-week and then its like 1 ½ weeks to term break! Woohoo! Term break, term break! 2 months pass by real quick eh?

Okay, aside from that, I’ve noticed that by being in DMC, I’ve become more confident of myself, more daring even. I mean, just look at me, playing pranks on my classmates. I think Sheryll Kan would be gullible enough to fall for a prank even. Lol! Anyone game to try? Yeah, maybe its good, maybe its bad. But, yeah, DMC manages to get the more confident me out. Or at least, I’m gaining confidence. But I think its also partially due to the blend of people in class DMC1A05.

We’re insanely sane (yes, thanks for permission to use that L), not like other classes in DMC at al (okay, okay, I admit it, I’m biased!). The peeps are supportive, especially people like Dione, Nad, Arisya, Mesh, Carol, See Jun, Weijie, Zhao Jie, Xin Le, ZhiLi, Gajan, Shaun, Fah, Reg, Nic… Big thanks to you guys too! =)) It feels good to be part of such a dynamic class y’know. What makes me like DMC1A05? You guys! ;)

I seem to rattle on and on eh? Is this an inherited Fernandez gene I wonder… I know I do have some Fernandez genes in me, take for instance the mischief gene. Pranks, pranks, pranks! I still remember playing a part in pranking the best of all teacher pranks: Mrs. Farahain Aidil in GMSS.

Okay, here I am, going to spill out another story… Gosh, hope I don’t bore you guys! Yeah, the spider was sitting there (I had brought the spider for Willie to use in this prank). She didn’t see it inside the OHP cover cause she didn’t use the OHP that lesson. It was a shame. We had planned it all out nicely. It was a good prank too. Fed up, Willie placed it on the screen of the OHP. She moved back from the board and rested her hands on the OHP cover.

She didn’t see it. We gave up, it simply wasn’t going to work. Then came the scream that made us leap out of our seats. It HAD worked! She ran towards the board as we stared at her in wonderment. She had seen the spider and to make things funnier, she added, “I actually wasn’t scared of it. But I knew you all wanted me to scream so I did.” Thanks Mrs. Aidil! We owe you one!

So, as you can see, I do have a bad side to me, a mischievious one at that! So, unleash the dragon in me!

Shout outs:
L: I know its tough when yer best friend’s going away. Do what I did. Trade things, like caps, wristbands… Knowing that those were from the person you miss will help ya, you’ll feel connected to the person for sure. Take it from me cuz. Hope ya cheer up.
Dak: Glad yer check up went well. Yer on the road to recovery! =)) Have faith you’ll be back with yer arm in full use. Stay strong!
Dame: Signs, oh signs… What do they mean? I have no idea, do you? Oh well. Have fun on yer upcoming Chicago trip. I’m sure you’ll do a great job at the photo shoot. ;)
Fano: How is Kyle I wonder? Lol. Anyway, yes ma’am, I hear ya. I’ll be at the paper, crafting the story for your reading pleasure.
