Chinese New Year & Beach Picnic...

This morning, I got a headache on what to wear for the morning. I didn't know what to wear for the Chinese New Year Trip to Mrs Diana's House. My mind was boggling on either to wear Informal or Formal. I wanted to wear like what I wore during my cousin's Dance Concert; that Over-the-Top Image. But I finally decided to wear the Dress Shirt; the one I wore to the Band's Farewell Party last year. The Long-Sleeve Brown with Silver Vertical Stripes Dress Shirt. That's my most expensive shirt yet, cost bout $55.

Anyway, we(the ones going) all met at the Pasir Ris MRT Station and then, towards Mrs Diana House for Chinese New Year. It was a very long walk to her house from the MRT Station. Well, it wasn't really that long. When we finally reached her block, people said that it's on the third last floor when it's actually on the last floor. Thus, some people got lost. Most of us got up to her house first. Some, especially Wee Choon, appear at her doorstep bout a few minutes later using the stairs.

As we gathered around the living rooms in the house, we began to talk abit with Mrs Diana and she ordered us food. She ordered Noodles, Fried Rice for some of us while others, like me, ordered McDonald's. Haha. I can't guarantee the local food were Halal or not so I took the easiest food to eat. While waiting for our food to be ordered and arrive, all of them started Gambling on the coffee table and the floor. Tim Wei & I, on the other hand, played Yugioh Cards. The rest of them played gambling games like Blackjack and In-Between. In-Between is a very nice game actually. It was fun watching them play.

About an hour or so later after our arrival, our Seniors came to the house; The Alex Lee and Kenneth Batch. Bout Six of them came. The two girls went home during the stay and came back to the house carrying a Mahjong Box. We were kinda surprised that they're gonna play Mahjong. Bernard looks like an expert playing Mahjong.

After our visit to Mrs Diana's House for Chinese New Year, I went back to my neighbourhood to see Adelaida and Syahdiqin at Adel's Sister's Wedding Reception. I was a lil' nervous and scared to go there as I'm not truly invited. So, I called Adel and she asked me to walk pass the Block to see Syahdiqin. Haha. When I saw Syahdiqin, it was strange to see her different after all these years of absence. I literally called her face fat, which may have been the wrong move. Haha. I was just being Honest. Her cheeks do look wide. Wide, but strong.

About half an hour later, I was on my way to Pasir Ris Park to go to my Cousin and Family's Picnic. Upon alighting the bus, I saw this One-Eyed Cat on the cement floor. And as a Cat Lover, I patted it. Its fur was so soft! And its One-Eye were so sweet looking at me. It's half blind as obvious.

I saw my Grandfather sitting on the Bench, while my nephews & nieces played with water and my cousins were preparing the food and stuffs. It was Very Windy there. At night, I tried to sleep for awhile and it was super cold due to the strong night breeze. And I was wearing Bermudas instead of Pants or Jeans. So, I was shivering at the Park. After all that, it was finally time to head home...

New Shoes, New Phone, New Line...

2008-02-02T23:49:00.001+08:00

New Shoes, New Phone, New Line...

Today was a great day, if you still can't tell. I've got new shoes, new phone and new telephone line.

My family first went to Novena Velocity to find my brother and I new shoes. My Dad says that the Adidas Store there had a huge Discount of up to 50% off. Its original yet, cheap. So, as we walked into the store, there many huge signs saying 30% Off, 50% Off here and there. I saw shoes that were nice and tried to find the shoes of my size. (That kinda rhyme doesn't it?) I first saw this Black Shoe with Red stripes over it, called Ultramotion II, and immediately fell in love with it. I tried to find my shoe size which is 9 or 10 (UK). But searching for it was difficult. Then, when we've finally found 9 1/2, I tried it on. It was just my size but there was a little screw up in the sewing of the leather on the inside of the shoe, which felt uncomfortable. So, I gave up searching for the shoe 'cause there were no other sizes of the Ultramotion II. Then, I went on to look at other shoes. Some designs were nice but I couldn't find my size. Some designs weren't that appealing to me so I didn't bother. And then, out of the blue, I saw another Ultramotion II shoe with size 10. I quickly snatched it and began to look inside the shoe to find any screw ups of the sewing. I tried it on, and it felt comfortable. So, I quickly bought it. The shoe costs $106.26 after a 30% Discount.

After walking around abit at Velocity, we went to Tampines Mall to get my phone. Haha...So excited. When we reached there, I saw Hassan and Mostafa trying to buy shoes. And they actually asked me for advice. Haha...

Anyway, went to Singtel's Store there and looked at the brochures for the phones. After a long decision-making, I finally chose Nokia 6500. Kinda the latest model. It's thinner and more stylish than my previous phone, Nokia 6280. I took the Student Plan and got a new line, as my previous phone line is from Starhub. I picked the Number I liked from the board and Voila, I've gotten a New Phone and a New Line. Haha...So happy!!! But I won't be using the new line yet. I need to finish up my previous Prepaid first.

After that, I saw this cool t-shirt from Surfers Paradise and immediately searched for the Medium Size. When I looked at another t-shirt of the same design but a darker colour, I saw the Christian Cross Picture as the main design. Then I look back at the t-shirt in my hands. It's the SAME!!! My Mum and I quickly changed our minds to buy it (as Muslims are generally not allowed to wear clothes with the Christian Cross on it). Then, I looked at another design and bought the Medium size of it. Its a Brown V-Neck T-Shirt. My Dad told me that usually V-Necks are for girls. I was like HUH??? That's weird, 'cause lots of guys wear V-Necks!!! Sigh... I guess my Dad still has the Old Style Taste. But, I still bought the t-shirt. Hehe...

P.S. This post may be a bit boring as I'm having a fever while writing this post. So, I apologise for such an uninteresting story of this day.

Movie Time!!! - Never Back Down

2008-02-01T23:31:00.000+08:00

Movie Time!!! - Never Back Down

This is the movie Never Back Down. It's more like the movie Fight Club, but it's only for Teenagers. Yup. The fighters are young and (to girls) they are just sexy when they fight one another.

The storyline is just like any other cliche fighting movies, e.g. Karate Kid. A kid was bullied. Kid wants to get revenge. Kid went to train himself vigorously. Kid knows how to fight. Kid finally fights the bully. Kid wins. And The End...

This movie combines both the Eastern and Western Arts of Fighting like Karate, Kick-Boxing, Boxing and more Martial Arts. And actors went through vigorous trainings to get muscles and flexibility with their movements for the movie.

Sean Faris is the main actor of the movie (being the Kid in the movie) and was trained by Djimon Hounsou, who acted as the Leader of the Varden in Eragon.
At his new high school, a rebellious teen (Faris) is lured into an underground fight club, where he finds a mentor in a mixed martial arts veteran (Hounsou).

This movie is currently not gonna be avalaible to Singapore. I guess Singapore has never heard bout the movie or something. 'Cause it'll only be released in USA, UK and France in March and April. So, I guess you'll just watch the trailer or you can download the movie if you know how.

Clips from Britain's Got Talent...Very Mesmerizing

Clips from Britain's Got Talent...Very Mesmerizing

As bored as I have been, I've been watching video clips of this and that, and came upon this videos. Video clips from Britain's Got Talent Competition(BGT). I can truly say that these people do have talent!!! Some were jaw-dropping, some were emotional, and others just makes your eyes pop out. Of course, in every talent competitions like this, there will always be some that thinks they do have talent but they truly don't and can't accept the judges' critics bout it.

This first video is the very first video I saw bout BGT. This is bout 6-year old Connie Talbot who sang during the audition round. She sang Somewhere Over The Rainbow and totally surprised everyone. Watch this one...

And this one is REALLY surprising. People thought that this Guy was NUTS when he said he's gonna sing Opera. But in the end, TOTAL JAW DROPPING!!! I don't really like Opera as much him but this video did change me abit. Watch him sing, and maybe you too will be changed...

This third video is bout 14-year old Dominic Smith singing Unchained Melody. Very nice song, and very nice voice for an age.

The thing is that this Opera guy, Paul Potts, eventually WON THE COMPETITION!!! The 6-year old Connie made it to the Finals and competed against Paul. This is like a History as NOT many 6-year olds get to sing on stage and gotten so far in a competition. And Congratulations to Paul Potts!!! He's now gotten the Best Prize anyone could ever get in Britain; to Perform in front of the Majesty The Queen. Yup...He sang to the Queen later on. Dominic competed against Paul during the Semi-Finals but didn't got through to the Finals. But Kudos to him still. There are some video clips bout the Semi-Finals of the competition, but I'm just too lazy to Copy and Paste the videos here. Besides, it'll be a long post here. I think I'll just leave the links here so that you could watch them if you're interested...

Been Bored staying at Home...

2008-01-30T23:06:00.000+08:00

Been Bored staying at Home...

Lately, I've been very bored staying at home. Guess I do miss school. Kinda ironic isn't it? At times, when in school, you feel you just wanna relax at home. Now, when you've relaxed at home too much, you just wanna go to school. I miss the events or activities in school. Now, I'm just killing time finding new gossips, reading books and magazines, eating, watching tv shows and movies; waiting for the school posting results to arrive. I hope I'll get to Temasek Polytechnic doing the New Course Diploma in Psychology Studies. I like Psychology, kinda cool to know what people are really thinking.

Anyway, although I'm bored at home, you notice that I have many Newsflash!!! Posts (the ones in Red) as I keep posting posts of celebrities here and there. It's kinda fun to know such news. And I've been quite active on Facebook. Try searching for me and add me as a friend. Hehe... I'm still trying to work on Friendster though.

By the way, I met my Primary School Best Friend at White Sands this afternoon. His name is Hong Xiang. We are very close during Primary School but we sorta lost contact from each other ever since we reached Secondary Years. He went to Pasir Ris Secondary School (Not Pasir Ris Crest) in Tampines there I think, and here I am, or now was, at Coral Secondary School.

Haha...He still look the same though, and is still taller than me. Sigh. We had a friendly chat. Apparently, both of us were helping our Mums buying groceries at NTUC, we both scored 15 for R5 and 11 for R4, scored A2 for Emaths and Biology, B3 for Chemistry & Physics...and I forget the rest. I mean, we had so many common things. Wow actually. Well, we were Best Friends, so what to expect? Hehe

Newsflash!!! - Protest Against Heath's Funeral???

2008-01-29T04:10:00.000+08:00

Newsflash!!! - Protests Against Heath's Funeral???

Not too long after Heath Ledger's death was reported, the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) was said to have released a press statement announcing they have plans to protest the actor's funeral. Have they no shame?

The WBC refer to him as a pervert and say that he has begun serving his eternal sentence in Hell now. Are they serious? They think Heath deserves punishment because he starred in a love story about two men? Anyone that would think of such hateful things at a time when so many are in shock and grieving lacks human compassion and a normal sense of right and wrong.

Some people commented:
"How can people be filed with such hate. This is disgusting."
"Sometimes I wonder if they worship the devil instead but then again the devil probably doesn't want to deal with them."
"Delusional idiot Phelps who runs that Church is more proof there is no such thing as God. He is also more proof that Religion is dangerous regardless if Christian fanatic or Muslim fanatic."
"This is not a church anymore than all Germans are racist anti-semites or Japanese are all killers. Even the Baptists do not affiliate with this hate group."
"I like your Christ.I do not like your Christians.They are so unlike your Christ.-Ghandi"
"I am a Christian and picketing this mans funeral is soooooo wrong!! Not all christians believe like this........"
"I'm not a super religious person but I still believe anyone who preaches hate instead of love is serving someone other than God."

Well, what do you think?

The small church runs numerous websites such as GodHatesFags.com, GodHatesAmerica.com and others expressing condemnation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people (LGBT), Roman Catholics, Muslims and Jews, as well as populations it believes are supporting the forementioned groups, including Swedes, Canadians, Irish, British, and Americans.

While its members identify themselves as Baptists, the church is an independent church not affiliated with any known Baptist conventions or associations, nor does any Baptist institution recognize the church as a Bible-believing fellowship. The church describes itself as following Primitive Baptist and Calvinist principles. Its first public service was held on the afternoon of Sunday, 27 November 1955.

Okay... Enough with all these rubbish ya? His funeral is expected to take place in secret in his hometown of Perth, Australia, next two weeks. Here are some Tributes for Heath Ledger's Death. (I don't know why I'm so obsessed with his death)

And this second video is on the Ellen Degeneres Show where Ellen pays tribute to Heath by showing a clip of the last time Heath Ledger was on her show. (It kinda made me teary abit. Almost cried)

Newsflash!!! - Ellen Turns 50!!!

2008-01-26T18:00:00.000+08:00

Newsflash!!! - Happy 50th Birthday Ellen!!!

Well, the title says it all; HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY ELLEN DEGENERES!!! If you don't know who Elle DeGeneres is, well, SHAME ON YOU!!! She's is actually my Favourite Idol and she's the First Person I wanna meet!!! I LOVE HER!!! She's Very Funny!

Apparently, she's just turned 50 this 26 January 2008. Kinda old, ya, but she doesn't even look 50!!! She still looks young. And some people say people will look young if they aren't married. Maybe we've found the Remedy to look young even when you're old. But no matter how old she is, I'ld still Love her.

She has made a home for herself in the daytime arena with her hit syndicated talk show, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." The show now in its fifth season has recently won six Daytime Emmys, including Outstanding Talk Show for the fourth year in a row and Outstanding Talk Show Host for the third year in a row. The show has now earned a total of 21 Daytime Emmy Awards during its first four seasons. Additionally, DeGeneres won two People's Choice Awards for Favorite Daytime Talk Show Host and Favorite Funny Female Star for the third year in a row. She also won the Johnny Carson Producers of the Year Award in Variety Television from the Producers Guild in 2005 and 2006.

DeGeneres also had the honor of hosting the 79th Annual Academy Awards for the first time this past February and was recently nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Performance In A Variety or Music Program. She is actually the first Openly Gay Celebrity to Host the Annual Academy Awards!!!

Anyway, enough said. Let's watch some videos for a change...

This video is about Ryan Seacrest giving a Birthday Gift to Ellen, and also, not really what you think it is. Watch till the End...

This is about some Celebrities that were on the Ellen DeGeneres Show from several of the previous episodes singing I Will Survive for Ellen.

I actually have two more videos to show you all from the Ellen 50th Birthday Episode but the Owner of the videos disabled the Embedding of the videos. So, I can only give you the links. The first one is when Ellen blows out the candles on her Huge Birthday Cake, while the second one is about Celebrities leaving Ellen Voicemails on her phone to wish her Birthday. Tom Cruise is funny in the video and so are others. If you don't wanna watch them, at least watch the second video.

O Level Results Finally Released...

2008-01-24T21:53:00.000+08:00

O Level Results Finally Released...

Okay, this post is supposed to be scheduled for 24th January 2008, but I'm actually writing this on 30th January 2008. I've been very busy finding many news and sources bout Heath Ledger's death. I don't know why I'm obsessed about his death... I guess my curiosity got the better of me. It did keeps me busy though.

Anyway, back to the main topic. Everybody who went to school on this day were feeling nervous, scared, and some excited to receive their results. 'Cause maybe I guess they really can't wait to get it over with. Some of us had long hair and were sent to the Foyer to collect their results there. I actually had quite a long hair, but I was allowed to take my results in the Hall. I guess the teachers really like me and gave me a chance. Haha...It's cool to be a Teacher's Pet or a Favourite of the School.

When we were in the Hall, the Principal gave a short speech or something, saying we did better than the previous cohort and she was proud of us. Mr Melvin Tan told us some important things bout the results and the JAE stuff. Mdm Siti, on the other hand, showed us the statistics of this year's and last year's results. More like comparing. When she told us that we've got a 100% Pass for Malay Language, I shouted "Woo!!!" and everyone looked back to find the source of the shout. We also had a 100% Pass for Punjabi, but the thing is, our school has only one Punjabi student. And that it Manveer from 4/1. Haha. Ouh, they showed the school's Great Performers for the O Level Exams. The first was Shawn Chua who's gotten 9 points for R5, same goes for Xin Rong. Phoebe Xie was next with 10 points, followed by Gina Teo with 10 too. Congratulations to them!!!

Then, it was time to finally give out the results to the students. Mine was almost quite to the end as my register number is 34 out of 39. So, being late has made me watched tears of both joy and disappointment, screams of happiness and also the reluctance of accepting their failure. Some called their friends or family right after they held their results slips and papers. It was cool to see people shouting to their parents on the phone saying that they've achieved their targets, especially Max who recieved a 16. He shouted on the phone "I'VE GOT SIXTEEN!!!" He was very excited. Some people just ran off out of the hall directly after they received their results. Others just cried, or rather stared blankly at walls or ceilings or keeping quiet most of the time. The thing that bothers me is that the Photography Club members went around to take pictures of us. Some even sat beside the students who are taking their results in front of their form teachers. I was like Huh?

Before my turn, it was Hakim's turn. Once he sat on the chair, his family (yup...his Dad, Sisters & Mum i think came) quickly stood behind him to see his results. And then, after opening the envelope (Form A) the family put on a great smile and were happy. Of course, later on I asked him bout his results. It seems that he scored 14 for his R5 and 11 for R4. Hehe. Kudos for him!!!

My turn finally arrived. I was scared la when I looked at Mdm Norul's face. She had that sad disappointed face looking at my result slip. I was literally at the side-end of the chair. Then, she said "The good news is that you don't have any C's or D's or fail" Haha. I was happy to hear that and looked at the results. The first thing I did was to find any A1's in my results. Finally, I saw the word 'One' and it's on the LAST subject I would ever THINK of to get a DISTINCTION!!! IT'S MY MALAY LANGUAGE!!! I've NEVER gotten an A for all of my Final Year Exams before in my Secondary Life. The highest I've got for Malay is B3. And now, I've jumped TWO Grades up. I saw Mdm Siti walked past me and I literally jumped up & down in front of her shouting like a Mad Person, as if I've just won the Lottery or something. Then, of course, with all that shouting, my classmates began to come close to me to know why I was happy. I went back to sit down on the chair and everyone around me saw the A1 for my Malay. They congratulated me for that. I began to open Form A, rather slowly actually. I then saw that I've gotten 15 for my R5 and 11 for R4. It seems Hakim beats me once again. Haha. But I was so happy!!!

Mr Wong was the first to SMS me bout my results. Haha. Followed by Shahirah and so on. I called Adelaida from Cedar Secondary School, and found out she's got 8 points for her R5. I was like WOAH!!! If that's not surprising enough, she told that she's got 4 Bonus Points, meaning she'll get 4 points after subtracting 4 from 8 points. She got the 4 Bonus Points from her CCA, Higher MT and French. COOL RIGHT??? And the thing is...SHE'S NOT HAPPY!!! I was like "I got 15 and I'm happy. You got 8 and you're sad. Now, you made me sad" If she don't want the points, give me la.

Later, I changed shirt to meet Sabrina & Siti at Burger King's White Sand to eat and just sit down and talk. But Siti left right after I've just gotten my order, so Sabrina & I talked as much as we can until we had to head home after that.

Newsflash!!! - Actor Found Dead at the Age of 28

2008-01-23T18:04:00.000+08:00

Newsflash!!! - Actor Found Dead at the Age of 28

Tragedy strucks this week when 28-year old actor was found dead in his apartment this Tuesday 22nd January 2008. He was found lying naked and unconscious in his bed at his $US23,000 a month apartment on Broome Street, SoHo, in Manhattan, by his housekeeper and a masseuse about 3:35pm local time, when they knocked on his bedroom and got no reply.

He had an appointment for a massage, said New York Police spokesman Paul Browne

Police said there were prescription sleeping pills near Ledger's body, but there was no obvious sign he had committed suicide.

CBS says that all of these items were listed on the official police report from the scene, but it should be stressed that it’s unknown whether or not these items belonged to Heath or if he had ingested them.

All items are being tested, but it will be a while before Heath’s toxicology reports are back from his inconclusive autopsy.

The actor was sick with pneumonia when he died, the TMZ.com website reports, saying it had been contacted by representatives of Ledger's family, who said they'd been told by police that the actor's death was accidental. The New York police however, said they could not confirm Ledger was suffering from pneumonia.

"The medical examiner, once he or she conducts an autopsy, will determine exactly the cause of death,'' said Lieutenant John Grimpal from the New York Police Department.

An autopsy on Heath Ledger was inconclusive, and more tests are needed, the medical examiner's office said Wednesday.

It will take about 10 days to complete the investigation, said Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner.

Reports say Heath wasn’t sleeping much, and couldn’t seem to relax. Rather than address this health crisis in the making, Heath pushed ahead with his workaholic schedule. At 28 years-old he might have been okay, except for the possibility that he may have used several medications together which are sedatives. When used together the effects are not only tripled, but they cause a paradoxical effect which can cause the heart to stop or beat ineffectively causing a lack of blood pressure or blood circulation, aka circulatory collapse. It appears exhaustion, pneumonia, and a misuse of prescription drugs may have led to Heath’s death, and not illegal narcotics.

He said he "stressed out a little too much" during the Nolan film, and had trouble sleeping while portraying the Joker, whom he called a "psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy."

"It was a very great challenge for Heath," Nolan said. "He's extremely original, extremely frightening, tremendously edgy. A very young character, a very anarchic presence that taps into a lot of our basic fears and panic."

"Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night," Ledger told The New York Times. "I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going." He said he took two Ambien pills, which only worked for an hour.

Heath Ledger's family rejected any suggestion that the actor killed himself "We, Heath's family, can confirm the very tragic, untimely and accidental passing of our dearly loved son, brother and doting father of Matilda".

Brokeback Mountain established Ledger as one of his generation's finest talents and an actor willing to take risks. That ability helped him to win the role of The Joker this year in The Dark Knight, a sequel to the 2005 Batman Begins.

"Working with Heath was one of the purest joys of my life," said Ang Lee, who directed Ledger in "Brokeback Mountain."

"I had such great hope for him," Mel Gibson, who played Ledger's father in "The Patriot," said in a statement. "He was just taking off and to lose his life at such a young age is a tragic loss."

Meanwhile, tributes from fellow Australians flooded in Wednesday, with actress Nicole Kidman called Ledger's death a "terrible tragedy."

Cate Blanchett, who starred with Ledger in the Bob Dylan bio-flick "I'm Not There," a role that earned her an Oscar nomination Tuesday for best supporting actress, said she was "shocked and saddened" at the news.

"I deeply respect Heath's work and always admired his continuing development as an artist," Blanchett said in a statement published by News Ltd. newspapers online. "My thoughts are with his family and close friends."

Someone informed Jack Nicholson that Heath had died from a drug overdose, which does not appear to be true, and Jack said, "I warned him."

Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd expressed shock over losing "one of our nation's finest actors in the prime of his life."

Ledger split last year with Michelle Williams, who played his wife on the set of "Brokeback Mountain." The two had a daughter, the now 2-year-old Matilda, and had lived together in Brooklyn's Boerum Hill neighborhood.

Heath Ledger had been battling a vicious bout of depression. "Heath was living in New York to be close to his daughter. But he hardly ever ventured out anymore." Jake Gyllenhaal has been worried about him for months. And he knew Heath was sinking further into a depression. Jake is Matilda’s godfather, and he and Heath had become really close since they did the film Brokeback together.

In the wake of Heath Ledger’s death, President Bush postponed a White House event scheduled for Wednesday's afternoon in the Roosevelt Room, where he was due to launch an ad campaign aimed at preventing prescription drug abuse.

The president was to make a statement on the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s new TV ad regarding the fact that the use of prescription painkillers remains popular among young people, but White House press secretary Dana Perino said the event, which had been scheduled for a while, was suddenly a bit too timely.

"We thought it would be better to postpone the event," Perino said, "rather than run the risk of anyone thinking that we were being opportunistic in highlighting the issue."

Even the Whitehouse has respect for Heath, as we all do.

Production on Heath Ledger’s latest fantasy adventure movie, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, was shut down hours after news broke of the actor’s untimely death.

"I just got the call [Tuesday] saying everyone was being let go," an on-set source in Vancouver tells Us Weekly. "We were supposed to start this weekend, but obviously they fired everyone today. They don’t know yet what they are doing with the footage that was already shot. Right now, everyone is in complete shock and can’t even speak."

Less than an hour after news of Ledger's death broke, fan sites including heathledger.net, heathbaby.com and heathledgercentral.com and heathledger.com had melted down and were inaccessible.

Messages of sorrow from fans are flooding unofficial Heath Ledger pages and fan groups on MySpace and Facebook. Already, at least two "R.I.P Heath Ledger'' Facebook groups have been created as memorials.

Fans left flowers and candles outside the apartment building in Manhattan's SoHo where the body of the Oscar-nominated star of "Brokeback Mountain" was found.

One note said, "I couldn't find anything bad about you."

It takes a Fool to do Brave Things...

2008-01-22T23:15:00.000+08:00

It takes a Fool to do Brave Things...

This morning, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I got an sms from Sabariah, which she replied to my message about 11 hours ago last night. I was pretty fed up 'cause most of the sms i sent gets replied late. So, I thought bout some stuffs and there I was, being depressed bout my life; which I won't write bout it more here. Thinking about all those negative things has actually made me cry; I still don't know why. Due to that, I went into a depressed state.

However, later, my Mum brought me to White Sands to eat Prata at Banquet Signature for Breakfast; or more like Brunch. We spend some time talking bout this and that and it really reduces my Depression Level. We went to the Library to read some stuffs. And as usual, I'll go to the Catalogue Station and type in the name Neil Gaiman (my favourite author) to see if any of his books are Not On Loan in the Pasir Ris Library. And I saw the usual results, having most of them being On Loan. Until something caught my eye; Stardust book is Not On Loan!!! I quickly walked quickly (or I think I ran) to the Fiction Section, at the GAI shelf and Voila...The Stardust Book is directly in front of me!!! I quickly grabbed it, took it away to a Sofa, sat on it and began to read the pages of the book I've longed and searched for. Finally, I've found the book...

As I read the book, I saw Sabariah walking past me, but she didn't see me at all when I was directly in front of her!!! And so, I keep tracking her to where she was heading. And finally, she saw me and stared in wonder, thinking if I am Zul. She then came up to me and asked "Zul eh?" I pretend I didn't know her at all, saying "Ermm, sorry but you've got the wrong person." And she actually bought it, and left saying "Oh, sorry." As she walked away, she kept glancing at me to confirm whether I am Zul or not. (S'poreans will say Paiseh) However, I smiled and giggled at that time and she quickly pushed me and poking me 'cause I lied to her. I actually looked real being someone else. Haha...That was funny.

And then, she invited me to hang out with her and Rasyidah to Bugis or other places. Of course, as indecisive as I always am, I kept thinking for a long time as to whether I wanna join them or not. In the end, I went with them. Of course, before that, I borrowed the Stardust book.

We went to Century Square to eat at Food Culture. There, I saw my Cousin-in-law's Sister-in-law working as the cashier. Of course, I asked if she remembers me or not, and after some talking here and there, I went to sit with Sab & Rasy. Sab ate Cheese Fries, Rasy bought Chicken Chop while I bought Fish & Chips but Rasy and I switched food 'cause she doesn't like the Chicken. And again, I became Emo again. Later, we saw Hazelin and asked her to join us. She ate Fish Ball Noodles (I guess) and we chat bout stuffs for awhile.

After eating, Hazelin went back home while the rest of us went to Bugis as Rasy wanna get her paycheck from the Cafe she worked. As we walked out from the MRT Station, we saw the Floor Fountain outside Bugis Junction. My Heart was like asking me to walk into it and get wet but my Heart pounded like MAD as I was scared to walk into it in front of all those people walking pass the area. So, my Mind then moved my legs away from the Floor Fountain and we went on to go to the Cafe Rasy worked at.

After Rasy took her paycheck, we went back to Bugis Junction to get to Bugis Street. Right there again, my Heart pounded like Hell now. Then, Adrenaline Rush. My blood were literally cold and hot at the same time. It's that nervous feeling when you're about to do something either Stupid or Brave or Both. And at that moment, I quickly gave my handphone to Sab and her sling bag. I wanted to get it over with, so I quickly walked towards the fountain. I stood in the middle of it, not realising that a hose was directly beneath me, in between my legs. It quickly shoots up a jet of water right below me and BAMM, hits me on the crotch. However, I was having so much fun getting wet that I don't remember feeling any pain due to that. I was completely drenched and everyone around were laughing at me wondering why the Heck was a teenage guy playing in the fountain. As I got away from the fountain, I found out that a tourist was filming a scene of the fountain with some children but eventually caught me in the film. Haha...I guess he caught the whole time I was in the fountain. Who knows? I might appear on America's Funniest Home Videos.

We went for a walk but I was still drenched. So, I stood at the sunlight as much as I can and flap my shirt to dry my clothes abit. I was actually proud to do what I did that day. I told my friends "It takes a Fool to do Brave Things..." Thus, the Brave ones are those that are foolish to do things that are crazy. I am really really proud. However, doing that getting-wet-at-a-fountain thing does comes with a price. I was freezing to death on the way home on the Bus, as Air-conditioned bus and a wet kid creates a chilly and frigid shivering young man. My teeth were literally shaking. But it was worth it I guess...

Flashback: 19.01.08 A Trip to Godgrandmother's House Yesterday

Flashback: 19.01.08 A Trip to God-grandmother's House Yesterday

Yesterday, my parents' new bed finally arrived. It's super duper soft, made from materials used by NASA. Yup, the Space Station in the US. Even the pillows are soft. I think it's foam or something like that. I can say that I'll sleep in a minute just lying on it. Hehe... Ouh ya, one of the "bed makers" that came to fix up the bed was a Coral Student. If I'm not mistaken, he's Sec 4 now. Haha. Now, he knows where I live, and now, I know where he works.

Anyway, after the bed has been made, my God-grandmother called us to get porridge from her house, Bubur Asyura. Anyway, she is actually my old neighbour from my previous home flat, Block 560. A very generous lady that usually every Ramadhan, she will give us some food to break fast, and we gave her something back in return. Even now, she will call us to get food from her house.

She gave us Bubur Asyura due to the month being Muharram. Yesterday was 10th Muharram, so her maid quickly bought ingredients for the porridge and Nek Wan (we call her that) cooked the porridge in one huge pot. She wanted to give the food to everyone she knows in the neighbourhood. So, when I arrived there, after she handed me the porridge, she told me a story about the porridge. A history of Nabi Sulaiman or King Solomon in the ancient days making the porridge on a ship. And talking about why people these days like to throw away babies, killing people after they rob or rape them and more stuffs. The cutest thing about Nek Wan is that she spoke a bit of English to me, saying "My eyes can see not clear" and "I can speak English abit" to me. That was the time I have ever heard her speak English. It was cute. Kinda reminds me of Dyna's Grandma. Haha...

American Idol Season 7 - Favourite Moments of the Auditions (First Two Episodes)

American Idol Season 7 - Favourite Moments of the Auditions (First Two Episodes)

Alright, here are videos from the American Idol Season 7, the favourite moments to me, of the Auditions in the first two episodes. Actually there are others I wanna show but it's either I can't find them on Youtube (my great source for Entertainment) or I can't remember the names of the singer or I'm just lazy to find them. But I did try to find one of them but failed to get it.

Anyway, the videos here are the funny ones. I couldn't find the great singers videos so, I can only show you the funny ones. The top left video is the one of James Lewis singing Go Down Moses. His super Bass voice was funny to watch and it made me laughed alot of times just remembering his voice.

The top right video is the one of Alexis Cohen singing Somebody to Love. I don't really know what's her problem 'cause she shouted vulgarities here and there, pointing middle fingers to the camera and even lying saying that Simon said mean stuffs to her. Simon wasn't really mean to her. He said that the competition isn't the route for her. He even gave advice to her saying that she should just be a Vet and be normal or end up with a Band. And she just had to lie saying that Simon said mean stuffs like "Ego testicles"? She's creepy, and I don't know whether it's true or not but they say that she has Aspergers Syndrome, which is a form of Autism in a high IQ form. Scary...

And the last video is clearly my most favourite as I made it the biggest video clip of them all. Its a clip of Renaldo Lapuz singing his own composed song entitled We're Brothers Forever. A song for Simon actually. I crack out laughing when at the ending, Randy, Ryan & Paula joined him singing the song and Simon kept saying "All together now". The part when I laughed the most was when Paula became a Showgirl in front of Simon, and even did some Sign Languages. She even Danced to the song. I like her. Haha... Oh, even after the audition, that Renaldo guy still cracks me up. He said that he likes Simon and saying that he's HEAVEN CHOSEN!!! HAHAHA!!!

There is one video i'm searching for which is about a girl (name starting with K) that has an Amazing voice. She did some great impersonations of some singers and she sang very well. If you know who I'm talking about, please tell me. Thanks Merry Much... ;)

Movie Time!!! - Jumper

2008-01-17T02:21:00.000+08:00

Movie Time!!! - Jumpers

Here's the upcoming movie 'Jumper' which will be released in Singapore on 14th February 2008, while it'll be released in the UK on 15th February 2008 (sorry Dyna). Singapore is one of the few countries to release the movie in Cinemas first by the way. And yes, it's on Valentine's Day. Also, Singapore will be releasing 'P.S. I Love You' on that day too. Singapore is very slow sometimes for such movies, 'cause 'P.S. I Love You' was released in December in USA and Singapore is releasing it next month.

Back to the movie, it's entitled Jumper. There'll be fighting scenes here and there and great visual effects in the movie, but it won't disappoint the girls as Hayden Christensen is the Main Actor in the movie. The trailer on the left is the Official Trailer for the first few countries to watch the movie (14th Feb) while the one on the right is the World Premiere (15th Feb).

Here's the Plot Outline: A genetic anomaly allows a young man to teleport himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years between "Jumpers" and those who have sworn to kill them.

First of all, this is not a Nightcrawler (X-Men) movie where he can teleport here and there. It's adapted from the book Jumper by Steven Gould. And for those who doesn't know what's 'teleport' or who Nightcrawler is, 'Teleportation' is the movement of objects or elementary particles from one place to another, more or less instantaneously, without traveling through space. Meaning, it simply disappear and reappear in another place. Ask me if you've got some questions, got it? Just watch the movie...

Although, Helena Bonham Carter (from Sweeney Todd) didn't win the award for the Best Performance by an Actress for a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy. Sigh. Just watch the Movie Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, OK?

Movie Time!!! - Sweeney Todd: The Demon of Fleet Street

2008-01-14T01:21:00.000+08:00

Movie Time!!! - Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Here's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, featuring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall & Sacha Baron Cohen. Johnny & Helena has once again paired up to act in the same movie (the previous one was in Corpse Bride). Also, if you have watched Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix, Helena's the one portraying as Bellatrix Lestrange (the one who killed Sirius Black). Speaking of Harry Potter, two other co-stars also acted in the Harry Potter Series; Alan plays as Prof Snape while Timothy plays as Wormtail. Sacha Baron Cohen acted as Borat in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

Anyway, back to the movie, it's actually a Musical Movie. It's a movie remake of the original hit Broadway Musical played in 1979. As always, Tim Burton's the Director of Unusual Horror Thriller Comedy Movies (he's one of my favourites). This movie has been released in December last year in the West; mainly USA & UK. Singapore will released it in February, as always (being slow).

This story is about Benjamin Barker(Johnny Depp) who was framed and jailed for life. He eventually escapes after 15 years and turns into Sweeney Todd to get revenge. He became a barber in Fleet Street, and, the trailer has already showed you why. He cuts their throats using his Shaver-Knife. His fellow tenant Mrs Lovett(Helena Bonham Carter) bakes pies and tries to help Sweeney to get his revenge.

This story is a Musical, so if you don't like Musicals, for the girls, Johnny Depp won't disappoint you so try and watch. As it is a Musical, everyone must sing. Helena had to take up lessons on singing and BAKING PIES!!! 'Cause in one scene, she had to sing and bake a pie simultaneously and she has to make it perfect. Tim Burton said that he chose Alan Rickman as he's a great actor but he didn't know until now that he has an amazing voice when he sings!!! Well, another reason to watch the movie; watching Prof. Snape singing. Hehe...

My First ATM Card...

2008-01-09T21:08:00.001+08:00

My First ATM Card...

Finally I've got an ATM Card! Haha. Cool ya? I went to accompany my Mum to the Bank at White Sands as she wants to renew her ATM Card; her old card got some plastic covering tearing out and sometimes it won't fit into the ATM. So, since she's gonna go to the bank, she asked whether I wanna get my own ATM Card. Of course, I shouted YES! Hehe.

We went to the bank, and first renewed my Mum's card. Then, at the same teller station, we asked if I could create my own ATM Card. She said "Yes" and we proceed onto having to create the card. After this and that, she asked me to sign a paper. I haven't truly know my signature yet as I keep changing it (the curves, the straight lines etc.) so, she asked to sign on a piece of paper. When she said that it's good, I went on to sign on the document paper. The thing is, due to my hand-writing, I signed on the paper too small. She gave me another document paper, asking me to resigned on the paper but magnify it abit. And then I gave a huge signature on the box given. But it was quite different from the original signature saying that the 'Z' on the signature was further away. So, she gave me the same piece again and ask me to sign it again. I was too stressed out just trying to sign papers. And I had a difficult time trying to figure out what my PIN Numbers should be...

Whatever it is, I FINALLY HAVE AN ATM CARD!!!

Dyna Going Off...

2008-01-08T02:01:00.000+08:00

Dyna Going Off...

Just got back from the Airport, seeing Dyna off back to England. Rather sad actually as time flies so fast. But, I did had some great moments spending the last hour with Dyna and family & friends. She had to get back to England as the next day was her exams. She actually brought back her textbooks to Singapore to study abit here. Amazing she can manage her studies and spending time with us.

I reached the Airport Terminal One by Bus, and when I reached there, I saw the flight delay on the Departure Screen. It delayed from 1.40am to 2.20am for some reason. And looking at the screen, I found out its at Belt 2. So, I quickly went to Belt 2. However, neither she nor her family & friends were there. So, I called her to ask if she's still in Singapore, and she replied that she's at Burger King with the rest of them. So, I went to Burger King's and saw a long row of Dyna's family filling in 4-5 tables while her friends (Fairul, Shahid, Idrus, Syara, Diana & Chuan Liang) occupied 1 & 1/2 tables. Of course I sat the friends' tables. When I waved at them, Dyna's family were staring at me in surprise. Haha. And Dyna told me "My uncle asked where's the other guy the other day?" Due to that, I looked at her uncle and waved & smiled at him. Hee...

We laughed at Shahid's jokes, listen to some songs and all. Then, Dyna's family decided to stand and walk around the Airport. While doing that, Dyna's Grandma sang to Dyna a Japanese song, most probably a lullaby or a nursery rhyme, that was sweet and pleasant to listen. Even Dyna sang along 'cause according to her, her Grandma kept singing that song to her. She said that her Grandma learnt the song during World War II. Which has led to Shahid saying "Oh, so if you want to be alive during the war, you better learn the song." Haha...When we were reaching to the Skytrain to Terminal 3, her Grandma wore Dyna's Brother's huge jacket. It covered her whole body until her knees. It was funny and cute, 'cause she looks like a Penguin with the Hoodie over her head. Everyone laughed and she smiled along. She even wanted to get a picture taken on the Skytrain wearing that. She's very cute, I can tell you that. And I salute her for being an active Lady.

We went for a free self-guiding tour around Terminal 3, admiring the great architecture and enchanting furnitures and fountains placed around the Terminal. We walked past a Bar and saw two Americans (I assume) sleeping in their sleeping bags on the sofa of the Bar. At first sight, we thought it was some pile up stuffs from construction or something as the place still had some constructions to be done. As we got closer, we were shocked to see humans sleeping there. Dyna's Grandma felt tired after walking and intends to ask one of the cleaners there to ride their mopping machines or something that could bring her to the Skytrain faster. But, she didn't ask. I also found out she had an operation on her right leg from another one of Dyna's Grandma or Auntie (I'm not too sure but she's over 70 years old). And now, her left leg is starting to get tired and painful. It was nice talking to her other Grandma/Auntie bout life in India, on how difficult it is to get to a Doctor and the Airport; walking through the forest and all. I am always good at talking with senior people, rather than talking with those under my age. I'm not really good at talking and playing with kids.

Later, my phone rang. My Dad asked me to meet him & my Mum at Popeyes on the Third Floor of Terminal One, saying that I had to go home. So, I went to say goodbye to Dyna, wishing her the best of luck for her life in England and hugged her. Then, I went to say goodbye to everyone there, 'salam' Dyna's family...and best of all, hugged Dyna's Grandma, 'cause she's cute and she reminds me of my late Grandma. So, hugging her feels like I was hugging my late Grandma. Which was very emotional.

I met my parents at Popeyes there and ate abit of the chicken. It's really delicious actually. Plan to eat there again inviting friends, but the price of the foods are quite expensive. Maybe once I've got a job then I'll go there.

We Were Soldiers...

2008-01-06T03:20:00.000+08:00

We were Soldiers...

Quite an unexpecting title for a post on my blog huh? 'Cause those who know me would never have guess to see such words coming out from my mouth. However, it's actually the title of a movie I just watched bout 3hours ago. It's a Midnight Movie on Channel 5. I didn't really expect myself to watch a War Movie actually, but the first part of the movie was quite funny. So, I followed the story till the end.

The movie is about the Vietman War in the 1960s, with the Americans & Vietmanese having a war with one another in Vietnam. The movie is more towards the American Army and the main actor is Mel Gibson, acting as Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore.

I watched the movie due to its humourous script in the beginning. Like Sergeant Ernie said to Sergeant Major Basil, "Beautiful morning, Sergeant." And Sergeant Major Plumley replied, "What are you a fucking weatherman now? " That made me laugh. And from there, I started to become interested in the movie. There's a 2nd Lieutenant Jack who said some things that were meaningful. He said that he wants to protect orphans, not making orphans. That's something worth fighting for.

So, when it was time for all the soldiers to go to war, Lt. Colonel Hal gave a speech to his men before going to battle. "I can't promise you that I will bring you all home alive. But this I swear, before you and before Almighty God, that when we go into battle, I will be the first to set foot on the field, and I will be the last to step off, and I will leave no one behind. Dead or alive, we will all come home together. So help me, God."

And he really was indeed the first man to step on the battlefield before anyone else. And so, the War began. I didn't really quite like the war part 'cause lots of the "heroes" of the movie eventually died. Like Jack (the one who wants to protect orphans) saw his friend being shot so he quickly carried him on his shoulder to go back to their base. However, while carrying his friend, he was shot and died. I almost cried at that part and shouted FUCK. During the war, a reporter apparently rode a helicopter going to the base. The pilot told him he was crazy but still gave him a ride. The reporter, Joe Galloway, then took shots of pictures with his camera. Lt. Colonel Hal Moore's boss, I guess it's the General, told him to come back to Headquarters but he told him that he won't leave his men behind as he made a promise to them. The really sad part is when the wives back at home in America receive letters bout their dead husbands in Vietnam.

The reporter was at the battlefield for a long time now until Sergeant Major Basil gave him a rifle to hold and shoot at anyone. Joe say he only shoots with his camera and is a non-combatant but the Sergeant said "Ain't no such thing today." And he did shoot some of the enemies with his rifle and back to shoot pictures soon after.

In the end, the Americans won the battle at the Ia Drang Valley of Vietnam, using machine guns and missiles from helicopters & airplanes. But what really made me salute the Lieutenant (Mel Gibson) was when he said to Joe(reporter) "I'll never forgive myself."
Joe asked "For what, sir?"
And he replied, "That my men... that my men died and I didn't."
Now, that's a true Leader. He cried to see Jack dead as he was his favourite soldier and leader.
Joe didn't know what to write for his report and when his fellow reporters interviewed him, he was speechless and its as if he didn't care bout it. When friendly bombs exploded at the place, the interviewers ducked their heads while Joe simply stayed calm as he has heard the explosion many times to say that it was a friendly American bomb.

And the Lieutenant told him to write the story, tell the American people what these men did here. "You tell them how my troopers died." And Joe nodded. Finally, every American soldier from the field, dead or alive, headed back to Headquarters through the helicopters. And as promise, the Lieutenant was the last person to step off from the field.

Joe finally ended the movie with his story. "Some had families waiting, for others their only family would be the men they bled beside, there were no bands, flags no honor guards to welcome them home, they went to war because their country ordered them to, but in the end they fought not for country or their flag, they fought for each other. We who have seen war will never stop seeing it, in the silence of the night we will always hear the screams. So this is our story... For we were soldiers once and young."

Chalet with Dyna & Band Seniors...

2008-01-05T01:17:00.000+08:00

Chalet with Dyna & Band Seniors...

After that unforgettable painful massage, I went to Dyna's Chalet (sponsored by Chuan Liang) at Costa Sands Pasir Ris (S05) yesterday evening. I just got back from the chalet by the way so I'm quite tired and can still smell barbeque smoke from my body.

Anyway, the moment I reached, I actually apologised saying that I'm late. Haha. I came at around 8 plus. But there weren't any meeting time or anything. So, when I arrived, I saw Chuan Liang at the BBQ pit and Fairul, Zarifah & Yvonne were sitting on three stools in front watching Chuan Liang. I also saw Syara & Idrus there, but other than that, the chalet was like empty. So, I went upstairs and saw Dyna on the bed with Diana and Fathiah. They were playing Boggle I think. I hugged Dyna and actually called her fat...'cause I was being honest and thinks that she ate alot of food here in Singapore (probably 'cause she misses the food in S'pore). But she's still cute to look at. Haha. Later, I saw Frederick in his Temasek JC t-shirt and Hansley in his Coral Sec Uniform. Shahid, Shining, Syazwana and many others soon appear.

I can't remember when but later, we had a Pillow Fight. Fairul was like alone against some of the rest as he was quite violent slamming the pillows onto people. We later tried to call people up to surprise and hit them. Shahid suggested me but I was actually behind him. Haha. After that, I and Syara watched Supernatural on Channel 5 on the TV screen. I ate bout two slices of Chocolate cake as I was hungry waiting for BBQed food, and some Mamee Noodle Packets (which I spilled one of them onto the floor). Fairul, Dyna & Fred kept playing Boggle for one hour upstairs, while the others tried to take turns playing PSP and watching people getting the fire started at the BBQ pit.

At around 11pm, we played Murderer. Haha. It was a very fun game. A new version of Murderer for me actually. I actually thought Syara was the murderer while the others thought it was me as I was too quiet during the game. But it turns out to be Hansley. Some of us later played Chap Chali Chap (sorry for spelling error). Fairul was the first and of course, he did crazy stuffs for the rest to follow. The killer move was the Thriller Dance Move. Jia Xuan had to do a forfeit doing the Thriller Dance Move Dyna showed her. Dyna described the move as Spread, "something" & Clap. Very funny.

And here's when my Mum called me to go back home as it was already Midnight. I went home with Diana riding Bus 3A. We thought we had missed the last bus already but the last was at 1am. And we eventually took the last bus as the time was about 12:55am. Thank God!

2008-01-04T19:41:00.000+08:00

Back, Shoulders & Neck Massage was a Pain...

Vulgarities practically almost came out from my mouth this afternoon. But apparently, none were said too loud. 'Cause I was at a Massage facility called Wan Yang Foot Reflexology at Tampines Mall, the one in the basement. My mum asked me to go for a massage as she needed a foot massage. She's feeling sick and exhausted so she feels that a foot massage would make her better. I went for the Back, Shoulders & Neck Massage as my neck and back were aching whole day. As I sat on the massage chair, the masseur placed a tissue on the headrest, which I wondered why. Then, it began. He gave a strong push on my lower back and slowly going upwards. By being slow does not make it easier for me. That's when I mouthed the word Oh My God lots and lots of times. He then massage my shoulders as hard as he can, which then led to the words Fuck Fuck Fuck being silently released into the air. The neck was next...and I swear I heard a SNAP from the veins on my neck. It felt painful at first but my neck relaxed abit after that. He later proceeded to my arms and palms. I can say that the massage was a painful experience, as after that, my whole back ached like Hell. During the massage, I figured out why he placed the tissue. I was actually sweating during the massage, probably from all that pain. So, my advice to you people out there who's gonna get a back massage soon, BE PREPARED!!!

A Walk with Mum...

2008-01-03T23:51:00.000+08:00

A Walk with Mum...

A nice thing actually happened today. My Mum asked me to accompany her to walk around the neighbourhood this afternoon. It was around 5pm (I can remember 'cause that's the time my favourite show The Ellen DeGeneres Show is aired on Channel 5) and I gave up my tv time to walk with her. She wanted to walk around 'cause people has been saying that she's fat. My Dad's Insurance Agent is one of them. Haha. She wanted to slim abit and trying not to lie on the bed. So we walked around the blocks in the area, and we found a cute orange-coloured Kitten under one of the blocks. It resembles a miniature Tiger due to its orange stripes and it has a very long sharp-pointed tail. After finishing patting the cat, we went on to the Fitness Corner beside Coral Primary School. Haha. We exercised abit using the machines. Then, she said "Ouh, it's 5:30pm. Ellen ah..." Of course I said that I knew about it but I still accompany her to walk around. Mummy's Boy. Haha

My cousin came to our house this evening 'cause he wanted a photocopy of my IC. I asked him to find a job for me at the Airport. He said that his Boss has a vacancy for the Lost & Found Section. I guess it could be a nice job, at least better than not having a job and having to sit at home all day doing nothing other than watching tv & videos. I also asked if there are other vacancies 'cause Rasyidah & Yong Kiat wanted a job. Hehe.

I saw my Dad's Car having two TV Screens at the back of the two front seats. It's to watch DVDs & VCDs & stuffs when we're going somewhere far. Cool huh? Only my bro & I could watch. But don't worry, the screens are not directed to the main radio and the screens have earpieces. So, my bro & I could hear the sounds of the screens through the earpieces while my Dad & Mum could continue to listen to the radio. Cool aye?

Newsflash!!! -Heroes In Love

2008-01-03T18:44:00.000+08:00

Newsflash!!! -Heroes In Love...

Milo Ventimiglia & Hayden Panettiere, from the Hit Series 'Heroes', are now officially a couple. People have been wondering alot about it recently, but People Magazine has confirmed that these two are indeed an item. If you don't go with their true names, they're the ones acting as Peter Petrelli & Claire Bennet in Heroes. It was greatly confirmed when both of them attended a Christmas party at the Water Grill in LA, where he made a toast to Hayden and told his co-starts that they were dating.

In Touch Weekly Magazine was told by an eyewitness, "He called her his girlfriend and said that he loved her." The couple spent the rest of the party sitting together and holding hands. A family friend told People,"Hayden's mom adores Milo. She thinks he's so cute. She tells her friends that he's her boyfriend. She's very proud."

It was told that Milo has met the entire Panettiere family, including Hayden's grandparents, and is good friends with her little brother. "At first it doesn’t seem like there’s a big age difference, but then you do see it. … He’s more proper and reserved, and she’s still playful and very girly." Ouh, Hayden is 18 by the way, while Milo is actually 30; which is why people kept asking whether they are a couple or not. Having a huge age difference between them is quite natural in America, so don't freak out upon hearing that such couples exist.

Anyway, this is not the first time Milo dated a co-star. In 2002, he dated co-star Alexis Bledel from Gilmore Girls but broke up in 2006. Well...that's today's gossip.

Expo Trip...

Went to the Expo this evening with my family. My Mum's intentions to go there was to shop at the Metro Expo Sale. Hehe. Upon reaching there (haha, I'm like writing a Compo), we first went to visit the Car Sales Hall. Lots of cars were being advertised there. NICE & COOL CARS!!! There was this Silent ad bout having silent cars, meaning when you drive, you won't hear a thing. It's sound-proof. Another cool car was this Toyota car having a Boot containing Speakers. Yup...The Boot contained Loud Huge Speakers that Amplified the Music very nicely...If you're going to the beach and wanna listen to songs, get a Boot like it and the whole beach will be dancing. It's from DLS Car Audio SuperNatural Sound. Another very nice and sexy car is the Mazda Carlingual...Auto Car with only four seats; the back seats only contains two as the box behind the Auto Gear is very long. It's almost like a Convertible, long Engine Space like Race Cars, lights that are carved nicely and let's just say it's COOL.

After the Car Exhibition, we went to the Metro Sale Hall. It was kinda boring compared to the John Little Sale held earlier this month. Nothing much to say bout it.

Multi-Band Exchange at Coral & Movie (I am Legend)

2007-12-28T01:10:00.001+08:00

Multi-Band Exchange at Coral & Movie (I am Legend)

Coral Concert Band had a Multi-Band Exchange yesterday with five other School Bands. The schools are Chung Cheng, Hong Kah, Hua Yi, Mayflower & Westwood Secondary. Yup...I was surprised to hear that Coral was the host school. Hehe. Anyway, many of the seniors decided to visit and watch & listen to the programmes. I was actually the first senior or alumni to reach the school, thinking that the others had reached the school first. And being the first of them had led Mr Wong to choose me to help out with something. I had to write the school's names, the instruments & the songs they're gonna play on sheets of paper for the judges to give critics on their playing. I had to repeatedly write everything three times as there were three judges. And God, it was difficult 'cause first, we ran out of paper; second, the order of the ensembles/duet/trio/quartet/quintet were not in proper order; third, I was sweating & panicking writing the names & stuffs. But it was worth being watched by everyone in the Hall. They kept looking or staring at me as I was sitting in the middle of the Hall behind the Judges, and I was wearing like a Punk/Emo Kid, so I guess they're puzzled to see a Punk/Emo doing stuffs in the middle of the Hall.

Finally, after finished writing & arranging the stuffs, I enjoyed listening to the remaining Ensembles, mostly the Percussion. Coral was Fun. Hehe. But I couldn't really hear the Timpani and the Melody was quite softer. After the Ensembles, it was Lunch Time. The schools went to eat packed food at the canteen while the Alumni went to White Sands. We thought of eating there but instead, we didn't do anything like that. We talked bout Life and all, and some of us went Emo. Ouh, we bought flowers for Mr Wong. Jia Xuan, Syazwana & I bought KFC food and we ate under my block, in which one of them called it Zul's Void Deck.

We came back to school for the Main Band Performances from every Band. To me, the best performance was from Hua Yi & Mayflower Combined Band Performance. They played Postcard super fast...and they were together. The Canons were perfect even when it's fast. All the Clarinettees weren't faking their finguring. Very nice...and loud (due to having 80 something Band members). One of Westwood's Percussionists was incredibly expressive throughout the performance. He created a face crashing the Cymbals and playing the Drum Set. And we found out his name is Indra. Hehe

After the whole Exchange Programme, the Alumni had nothing better to do than to take photos at the School Carpark, behind the Canteen. Hehe. There were very nice photos. One two of them we had it with Mr Wong. We did so many poses and all of us really did have fun. Some people Shiok Sendiri. Haha

That evening, my family and I went to watch I am Legend at TM's Golden Village. It was a very nice movie. I give 4.0 out of 5.0. It's a very touching movie and I did almost cried at some scenes. I really pity Samantha. But the ending was like "Huh?" kind of feeling, but it did explain why the title is called I am Legend. It also shows how one would react knowing he's alone in the world. And there were funny scenes here & there.

2007-12-24T23:41:00.001+08:00

Movie....Hanging Out

Dayana, Fathiah, Jia Xuan and I went to watch a movie at Cathay Cineleisure Orchard. Dayana brought her friend, with her friend's cousin to watch with us, hence, there were Six people watching. We all went to watch the movie The Golden Compass. Hah...FINALLY! 'Cause I've been talking about it for such a long time but still haven't watched it. The movie was awesome. Why do people say the movie wasn't that nice? One reason I could give is that the ending was sudden. Yes, it was sudden, but the story is a Trilogy from His Dark Materials Trilogy. So, as there are three books and the movie is only about the first, there will be a continuation to the story. It's just like Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Sigh...People need to find out first before saying that the movie was not good 'cause of the sudden ending.

Another reason I could give is that it defies the Christian Religion...And people have been convincing others not to watch the movie. (If you wanna find out more bout this stuff, you can ask me through e-mail or MSN and I'll explain the whole details to you.) I've heard that if the first movie is not a Hit in the Box Office, the producers won't produce the second and the third movie of the trilogy. So, please support it.

Anyway, the scariest part was when the Golden Monkey Daemon of Mrs Coulter suddenly appeared and choked Billy Costa's Daemon. That part shocked most of us. Yup, the Monkey is evil. My favourite scenes are the Polar Bear Fight and the War Between Bolvangarians against the Gyptians, Witches & Iorek. The coolest part is that you'll see Golden Dusts appearing as Daemons die during the War. Very cool! Just watch to find out why.

After all of that, we went to Burger King's but only Dayana ate, while the rest of us watched her eating Hershey's Sunday Pie. The rest of us were still full from eating Popcorns, Nachos & Drinking. Later, Dayana's friend & cousin went home to Yishun (they were pretty shy to talk to people) while the four of us went to Century Square, Tampines. We ate at Food Culture and met Syarafina. Haha. Then, after eating, we went to hang out to places, watch tv screens, sing random songs and see clothes and accessories. I tried on a wig, red & brown dyed wig, which was on the head of a mannequin on display at BHG. It was pretty cool but it makes my hair "kembang" or huge. We went to the Pasar Malam, without Fathiah 'cause she had to go home. And Syara bought a pair of Retro Sunglasses which is very nice.

We went to Downtown after that, no absolutely no reason. Haha. We went to chat abit bout some stuffs at McDonald's and then we decided to eat at Dyna's Mum's shop at Tampines. I ate Maggi Goreng and half of Prata Cheese & Mushrooms. Syara & I shared the Prata. Jia Xuan ate so slow, and Chuan Liang came in to join us. In the end, Dyna's Mum was so sweet to give us all a ride home. Hehe. Very cute the way she joke around with her daughter. Ouh...and the four of us (JX, Dyna, Syara & I) had to squeeze at the backseats. Very cute again. Hee

Flashbacks

2007-12-23T15:41:00.000+08:00

Flashbacks...

Hey...I know I know people keep asking me "You don't update your blog anymore arh?" Well...I'm just lazy to type anything into my blog. Even though I'm always online every night and all, I just keep doing other stuffs instead of updating my blog; like watching videos on Youtube, chatting with people or doing researches about unneccessary stuffs. I'm kinda a Media Freak actually...'cause one proof for that is that I was the first to know, among all my friends, that Wentworth Miller (PrisonBreak) is Gay; and knowing that you can watch Narnia: Prince Caspian Trailer on Youtube already; knowing who is acting as The Joker for next year's Batman Movie called The Dark Knight...and more. Ouh ya...Vanessa Hudgens won't be acting for High School Musical 3. Disney does not want her to act in their next sequel due to the nude pictures of her over the Net. I can be a reporter for you guys about the whole world actually. Ouh...I also know secrets about the people in school, both teachers and students. But I won't tell those embarrassing secrets to you guys. I'm gonna start a segment called NewsFlash, where new events or stories I found out will be posted here. Hee. Anyway, see, I talk too much. That's why sometimes I hate updating blogs. I'll type so much stuffs...and in the end, No One will read it.

By the way, this post is supposed to be about Flashbacks. I may be doing this kind of post often as I'm always MIA on my blog. And I'm trying very hard to remember those days. So, here's the segment Flashbacks...

Flashback: 11.10.07 Graduation Day
It's our Last Official Day in School!!! Yup...We may choose not to come to school after this day, which is pretty cool. Anyway, our Graduation Ceremony was in the afternoon, straight after school. It was at the School Hall, in which I find the wall on the stage saying "Class of 2007 Graduation Ceremony" kinda nice. Most of us find that Singapore's Graduations in schools are pretty lame but we couldn't not go to the Ceremony 'cause we will receive our report books directly after the ceremony is over. Sigh.
Anyway, Ms Ng was the MC for the ceremony, which was pretty weird to me. Each class had to give a dedication speech to the teachers who has taught us for the past four-five years in Coral Secondary School. Our class sent out Nicholas to give a speech, saying something about Alexander The Great's quotes and saying that these words cannot describe the experience or the teachings or something. I can't remember. 4/10 was the Best...they actually asked to give more than one minute to give the Speech 'cause two of their classmates were gonna sing to the teachers. Hehe...Aww, cute right? They sang Faith Hill's There You'll Be (the theme song for Pearl Harbour) and they gave a flower to Miss Florence Leong. It was a surprising sight, yet, it was very thoughtful and brave of them to sing on stage.
Then, there was a segment where the teachers showed us a video clip containing lots of pcitures of us students since we were Secondary One. How cool is that? They could actually find pictures of us at that age. I looked the same still while most of us had a major makeover now. Sigh. After that, we were all given collar badges saying Class of 2007. The form teachers then had to pin the badges on our collars. However, Mdm Norul didn't come today, thus Mr Loo volunteered to pin the badges on our collars. He is already like a second Form Teacher. I could still remember him ordering McDonalds' for us for our Saturday Supplementary Class (a trick so that we will be present for his classes).
Finally, it was the end of the Ceremony and they end it off by playing (what they called the Graduation Theme Song) High School Musical's Breaking Free. It was an unusual choice of song to end off the ceremony but we all stood up, some stood on chairs, and sang the song by looking at the lyrics on the big screen on stage. Ms Ng kept walking around to find people to sing the song with the microphone. Then, two students from a Sec Five Class, came out, took the microphone and sang duet.
After all the fun was over, all of us ran to the back of the Hall to receive our Report Books. Some were happy, while others were unsatisfied as always. After receiving our Report Books, we could write something on the Helium-filled Balloons that will be given to the Form Teacher. Ouh ya...I forgot. We were fasting on that day...and the school provided food for us. But luckily, they did thought about the Muslims 'cause they prepared boxes of the food for us to bring home to eat. Hehe...

Plasma TV!!!

2007-10-10T23:38:00.000+08:00

PLASMA TV!!!

Yup...You read it right. My family now has a PLASMA TV in our Living Room. I won't say how much it costs...but it sure is costly. Paying by instalments. If you wanna see it...just swing by my house. Haha. I'm so excited already. But, it's kinda weird to have a new TV in the house 'cause I was so used to the sound (frequency) of the previous TV that I felt weird hearing a different sound from the Living Room. You may think I'm a Freak or so...but i do have sensitive ears. Anyway...It was supposed to be placed on the wall, as in pasted on it...But due to the mirrors and glass on the wall, there isn't any space for the TV. So, we had no choice but to place the TV like all the other TVs in the house; placing it on top of the shelf meant for a TV set. The TV is quite large...and it's too bright for my eyes that I almost had a headache watching 30 mins on the screen. Hee (You might be wondering why I couldn't just go to Menu and adjust the Brightness of the screen...Well, I did but my Mum said that the brightness is enough, but it's still too bright for my eyes. Again, sensitive eyes. Hee)

A Bank's Drama?

2007-10-09T00:00:00.001+08:00

This post is for yesterday 8th October 2007. I was One Minute late to write this post. Sorry.

Today...I witness a True Singaporean Act by a True Singaporean. They could actually be defined as people who are 1)Truly born in Singapore, 2)Arrogant, 3)Money-minded, 4)"Kiasu" and the list will just go on and on. From this, you could conclude that I am not really proud of being a Singaporean...but what can I do to change that? 'Cause I was born here. Anyway...back to the real story. This post is entitled "A Bank's Drama?" And, yes, it happened at a bank. The POSB Bank at White Sands. This afternoon, my brother & I accompanied my mum to the bank. While waiting for my mum's turn to be attended, my brother & I sat the small sofa placed there watching the long queue getting shorter. Yup...it was a pretty damn long queue. Then, at one time, two Kaur ladies (Mother & Daughter) queued up. I can tell they're Kaurs 'cause of their facial features and appearance...they are usually smart in English 'cause so far I know my ex-classmate always gets an A for English and is now Debating in the new Media Competition "The Arena". Also, my ex-tuition English teacher is a Kaur. Okay...back to story. Later, the Mother went out for awhile, maybe to the toilet or something, leaving her Daughter to queue. When she became the third from the back of the queue, the Mother came in and "cut the queue" to queue up beside her Daughter. Then, the last person of the queue, a bald 50-year old Chinese man, asked aggresively "Why are you cutting the queue?" Then, the Mother was like "I'm queueing up with my daughter." And the next question from the man surprised me,"Are you sure?" I was like "Who in the World doesn't know their daughters???" The Daughter replied, "Ya, she's my mother." The man asked the question again,"Are you sure?" I was like SURPRISED he could still asked that question..."Who doesn't even know their mothers?" The Kaurs kept saying "Ya" to him but it looks as though he was listening to a native language instead of English. He's so....ergghhh, irritating, wanting acceptable reasons trying to make the Kaurs leave or something. Terrible. Fortunately, a Chinese man, who was in his 30s & was in front of the Kaurs, stood up and said "Ya...the two of them queued up first." Shockingly again, the bald guy asked the question again. I was like "What the Hell is your Problem?" Then, all three of them kept saying "Ya", and finally, he accepted their answer and just leave it alone. And after that, i guess due to shame, he walked out of the bank. I felt happy when he walked away. Hee. As the queue progress, the Kaur Mother looked at me, and I gave her the same boyish smile (like to the China guy in my previous post) and mouthed "Hello" to her. She grinned at me. I looked away looking at my phone and everywhere else, but I could still saw her staring at me. I don't know why. Heehee. But I just didn't do anything. Till now, I still couldn't stop wondering what's the guy's problem...

2007-10-06T23:10:00.001+08:00

Today...during the afternoon, did some housework. Washed the sink, the toilet, wipe the windows, the mirrors...and clear off everything that includes Dust. It was kinda boring.

Later, Mum decided to go to Causeway Point to buy a Television at Courts. You might be wondering why we went all the way to Woodlands just to buy a television at Courts there when there are many Courts stores here in the East. Well...the answer my Mum gave was that her friend works there and by buying there, her friend gets commision. I don't even know what that means. Anyway...we Break Fast there at KFC. My brother & I went to order the food. Then, there is a back-up counter there who is a Chinese named Chuan. He's quite built actually. When he was doing the Drinks, he asked me bout something in Chinese (Mandarin I guess). I was like "Sorry?" Then, he blushed and shook his head sideways and smiled. He then stammered "I'm Chinese"...and that's when I figured out that he's from China. So, I just said "Never mind" and we both gave boyish smiles...Haha. Sounds gay, right? After eating, my family found out that we need a plastic bag as two Spicy Drumlets were still left untouched. And I went to the same counter previously as that is the only counter that seems approachable due to the counter being at the end and there were lesser things blocking the way. And...you guessed it, there he was again...being the back-up counter. Ouh, if you don't know what a back-up counter is, it's a person that helps the main counter trying to lighten up the burden of the main counter by taking drinks or so while the main counter attends to the other items of the orders. I was one when I worked at Mac's last year during the Work Experience Workshop. Anyway, back to the KFC...he saw again and gave the same smile. I smiled back, being friendly, trying to make him feel comfortable in Singapore. Hee. Then, I tried to mouth the words "plastic bag" and showed an action of carrying one. But he was clueless and he pointed his index finger to himself. I laughed and just shook my head and said "Never mind" again. So, I then asked the main counter for the plastic bag.

At Courts, we walked past all the television sets on display to find the right set for our Living Room. The big TV in the Living Room is having problems with the colours on screen. It keeps staying dark and we couldn't do anything to fix it. We always see Black & Indian people as one of the dark backgrounds of the screen and we could only see their teeth and eyes. Terrible colour. And when the show is about something happening what at night, we could only the reflections of their eyes. So, walking passthe televisions on display to find the right set for our Living Room. The big TV in the Living Room is having problems with the colours on screen. It keeps staying dark and we couldn't do anything to fix it. We always see Black & Indian people as one of the dark backgrounds of the screen and we could only see their teeth and eyes. Terrible colour. And when the show is about something happening what at night, we could only the reflections of their eyes. So, walking past the television sets and checking out their cool details really made us thought alot bout which to buy. Finally, we found the right one. I even went into the Computer Section to see the cool and latest computers on sale. And I saw the coolest computer ever. This HP computer doesn't have any separate CPU. It's locked beneath the computer, in a stylish way. Ouh ya...it's Piano Black in colour. Another thumbs up. The monitor can be moved upwards or downwards steadily, its keyboard is wireless so is the mouse. So, you can actually take away the keyboard and place it far away, and you can still type words on the screen. Also, THE MONITOR IS A TOUCH SCREEN MONITOR!!! Its like the Tablet PC in school except that you can use your finger to move the mouse around. So, if you don't wanna touch the keyboard or the mouse, you can just touch the screen. HOW COOL IS THAT???

Ouh...at the Pasar Malam, or Night Market, beside the Mall, we bought some drinks and kitchen stuffs. But what I bought is another Sling Bag!!! Heehee. Its the one I've always wanted. Brown Leather Bag. I really want a leather bag 'cause it's now cool to have those, and i really prefer leather to be Brown rather than Black. It's more Vintage having it brown. Just a Tip. And as a Singaporean, bargaining isn't a rare thing to do. It's already cheap at $22...but my Dad bargained it till it reached $20. That's good already. So, we saved $2. Heehee. And now I have a Brown Leather Bag. It's from Levi's by the way. I also have a Grey Leather Wallet from Planet Ocean Studio. So, from these, you might figure out what's my taste in accessories. Next, I'm planning to get a Leather wristband. After my O's, that is. Not really now. Gonna go shopping like mad after O's. Heehee.

Prelims Results...And Shopping Spree???

2007-10-04T22:25:00.000+08:00

Hey...Prelims results were given for the past three-four days. Sigh. Unfortunately, I received unsatisfying results. However...MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!!! Here's my results: EL-B4, E.Maths-A2, A.Maths-C6, Combined Humanities-B4 (Geog-A2, S.S.-C6), M.T.-B4, Bio-B3, Chem-A2 & Phy-C5. Yup, remember in my previous post, I said that I did worse for my Chemistry? Look again. I've got an A2!!! A MIRACLE!!! I was so damn lucky! For my E.Maths, I require 2.3marks to get an A1. Erghhh! That really pissed me off. I actually failed my A.Maths by 0.6marks. But, after moderation (I guess Mr Loo doesn't want me to fail), the marks got rounded up to 50, and I got a C6 due to that. This really excited me 'cause I won't see any Red Inks on my Report Card. Yay! I screwed up my Social Studies, didn't have enough time for it. Biology too. Forgot many things I just memorised the previous day. That kinda sucks. Physics, I didn't really bother bout that subject. But, I have to say it's luck again that gave me a pass in it. And I'm happy for it. Heehee

Today, went with Daniel to Bugis Street for a Shopping Spree. I don't know why I followed, but I guess I needed the time off. He went there to find Birthday Gifts for the Birthday People this month; Joanne, his Dad, his Cousin & Carine. He bought stuffs for them that are very good gifts as a whole. He is rich to buy them. While walking, we saw Olinda, the Tomboy from S'pore Idol 1. I saw her first, and Danny didn't believed it until he saw her face. Hee. I have to tell you...Bugis Street seems like a Maze now. Almost got lost. But thanks to my memory skills, we've found the correct shops and manage to find the way out. Heehee.

At this shop on the Second Floor, I saw a collection of vests on display. I currently have a taste in vests, 'cause I found out that they could be worn with anything, anytime & anywhere. Worn over a long-sleeve shirt or a t-shirt. And I have to say that I have t-shirts that has prints on it that doesn't really looks nice or appealing, so the vest is a nice way to hide those designs. Great idea,huh? Ok, back to the shop. The auntie gave some descriptions bout the vests, like they came from Hong Kong, showed us some ways to wear them, and also said "There's a shop that sells these at $43, but here they're only $33". I really did wanted to buy them, but I didn't bring enough money. Furthermore, I intend to go shopping after O's, not before. So, we told the auntie that we'll go around first, and she said "OK...But try to come back. If you come back, I give bout 10% Discount so they'll be $30". And we said Okay. However, when we returned to the First Floor, we saw a shop selling vests. They only cost $28. We were like shocked. Heehee. It's all bout going round the whole place first before buying (just like the Far East Plaza trip buying a formal dress code for Band Farewell Party).

Later, it was nearly time to Break Fast, and I was kinda late. Danny asked to go eat Mos Burger, but I refused 'cause I don't really like Japanese cuisine or those Rice Burgers. So, I decided to go Fish & Co. Before arriving, I totally forgot that it was a restaurant. That means EXPENSIVE FOOD!!! I was shocked 'cause I intended to save money and eat less. But I did totally the opposite of my intention. Spent $21 on the food, service charge & GST. Sigh. And I was totally stuffed.

After eating, while still sitting at our table, there was an Ang Moh family of three sitting at a 6-seated table. They were still figuring what to order until they saw bout five to six Chinese people waiting at the entrance to be seated. Due to that, they asked a waiter for them to move to the four-seated table that had just been cleared beside our table, so that the Chinese group could sit. They were very thoughtful and generous I might say. The thing that crosses my mind first was "Which Singaporean would do the same thing?" I really salute them...So far, the Ang Mohs have been very mannerful and thoughtful than us Singaporeans. Examples: They move away from the doors of the MRT trains so that people could depart first before they alight, place their contents on their trays in the trash bins at a fast food restaurant instead of having the cleaners to do it for them & many other things. I really salute them man.

At the MRT train, i almost fell over this guy 'cause of the train sudden movements. I was embarrassed by that. Heehee. When we're reaching Pasir Ris, we saw this woman who fell asleep with her mouth open. It wasn't a really good social etiquette to do that in public, and it was an unpleasant sight. However, Danny wanted to take photo of her but his phone will have flashes. He doesn't want to attract attention. So, I took out my phone and took her picture. I wanted to post her picture here, but I guess it will be a very bad thing to do. Thus, I didn't post it here. It was already evil of us to take photo of her without her permission. So, if God wanted to punish us, and you (the sleeping woman) is reading this, we are truly sorry for what we did. Forgiven?

Anyway, people at home all studying for O's while we're going out shopping. Kinda stupid isn't it?

Lost Chemistry

2007-09-26T17:58:00.000+08:00

Today was the Worst Day during the exam periods. Honestly, I became sentimental again today, while doing my Chemistry Papers. I lost every single memory and details of Chemistry. The papers require more of Memorization than Normal Knowledge. Like there's questions on the Haber Process, Manufacture of Sulphuric Acid and all...They asked about the temperature and the pressure for the processes to occur, and also about the catalysts. I immediately panicked reading the questions. Also, there's questions on Organic Chemistry, about Alkanes, Alkenes, Alcohol & all. Stupid!!! I didn't really study in depth about them...I wrote nonsense for these questions. In the end, I estimated that I've lost around 38 marks for Paper 2 out of 80. Yup, I can only trust on 42 marks for that paper, as in I'll definitely get a C6 for it. I knew I should have studied Chemistry a long time ago...Erghhhh, I'm just so mad at myself. Tomorrow is on E. & A. Maths...Two Maths papers can make my head spin already. I'll definitely see numbers flying around my head after the exams tomorrow. I really need to study now...So, Wish Me Luck!!! And to those of you who are doing your exams, especially the ones who are gonna do their N Levels in a week now, GOOD LUCK! :)

Embracing a Beautiful Day

2007-09-25T18:40:00.000+08:00

Ok...people have been asking or sometimes pestering me to update my Blog. Well, I was getting bored of blogging actually but I feel like typing again now. However, after this, I may not update again until my O Levels are finished. 'Cause the posts later on will be nothing but about studying day & night. So, those of you who read this post, don't pester me to update until my O Levels are over. And I may want to change the template of my blog. It's getting more like a cliche now...I'm thinking of making my own template, which will take a long time for beginners like me.

Anyway, I just wanna say that I've been very emo recently. I keep listening to Goth & Emo songs nowadays. But I still listen to Punk Rock and Pop though. Never ever forget those Genres. Yesterday, or this morning to be exact, at 1am, I watched Cold Case when I was studying for my Mother Tongue & A Maths. I've been watching that show ever since I started studying for the exams. That show is freaking AWESOME...I give 4.2 stars for that show. Watching that kind of shows, like CSI, Bones & Criminal Minds, just makes my hair stand and I feel like I really wanna be like them someday...Solving crimes & puzzles. Hence, which is why I wanna be a psychologist I think. Trying to know the aggregate score for Diploma in Psychology Studies at Temasek Polytechnic, studying the human brain & emotions. But I'm still unsure though. Anyway, back back back to Cold Case. That episode (don't laugh) actually made me cry...abit only. Haha. After that, I watched Desperate Housewives which is a sad episode. Again, I almost cried. That episode also quoted this "You should embrace this beautiful day that we all get so few with them". I'm very sentimental nowadays. This is how I feel during the exam periods.

Also, reading Dyna's blog was a blast. Haha. It made me laugh and excited. I don't know why. There are funny posts and I'm glad that my sister is doing fine there and making some friends already. It's cool to have foreign friends. For that...I give Two Thumbs Up for my sister there. Congrats. I really do wanna go London or anywhere else in the World, besides Singapore & Malaysia. I do hope to make foreign friends. It's in my Dream List.

Well..till here then my post ends. I don't know whether I'll be able to post tomorrow or not. So, don't pester me ok? Arri dervici

Shawn's & Yvonne's BDae Party

2007-04-28T23:41:00.000+08:00

Today was Shawn's Birthday! Had a chalet and birthday celebration for both Shawn's & Yvonne's Birthdays! Yvonne's Bdae is on 30th April...So they celebrated together today (Save costs I believe). It was quite fun...but I was sick, so I didn't do much today. I was like staring at the floor and my mind was so far away(I don't know where). Even the teachers find it weird that I was like a puppet. 'Cause I wasn't smiling during the party. It's weird to see me not smiling. So...I was once again Super Emo today. Not until at around 8:30pm...we played WATER BOMB!!! It was extremely fun to throw the bombs around but it was super short!!! We've ran out of bombs in just 5 minutes. Mansfield was the one who got wet the most...and he didn't get to throw one. So, I gave him mine...and he threw it at Kathy. So, those who were super wet hugged all the other partial wet people. It was fun when we reached the chalet...the floor was extremely wet and we locked some into the toilet and played with water the whole night. But eventually...all things have to come to an end. At around 10pm...we stopped playing with the water and dried ourselves. Some changed their wet clothes. And after that...I bid farewell coz its almost 11pm when I left.
When I left the chalet...a mysterious caller sms me. Of course I had to ask "Who are you?" Then, to my surprise, it was Syahdiqin; my primary school classmate & crush. Hahkz. Then, we intended to chat on the phone but it was late and they(Syahdiqin & Adel) don't want to wake the others in the house. So, we all just chat through SMS. And then...It was Night.

Friday Prayers Failure

2007-04-27T23:06:00.000+08:00

Was super emo today...I was depressed. Don't know why.
Aniway...Hakim and I were going to Friday Prayers. Then, Fifi tagged along with his friends. His friends actually went to MacDonald's to buy food & drinks when we were almost late for the prayers. They were such asses. By the time we reached there by bus...just reaching the gates, and everyone was already leaving the mosque. It was bad la 'cause we've missed the prayers. Stupid la the two boys. Due to that, I scolded them to buy food only after prayers...not before. Sigh. It was a failure.

Scored Full marks for EMaths

2007-04-26T18:16:00.000+08:00

When Mr Loo asked people to give out the Class Tests Papers to the class, I was shocked to find out that I didn't get my paper back. So I asked Mr Loo for it. He said "Wait, it's with me." So, I thought to myself, "Oh no! I must have done something wrong." Afterwards, he announced that the small stack of papers in his hand scored the highest marks amongst the class and he said "And the highest score is full marks...by Zulfikar." I WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK!!! IT WAS EXTREMELY SHOCKINGLY BEAUTIFUL AND AT THE SAME TIME HAPPY!!! Heehee. It was the first test that I actually scored full marks and I think this was the second time being first for a test. The first time was last year when we had our first Chemistry class test. Ouh ya...this test was EMaths on Transformations: Reflection, Rotation, Translation, Enlargement & Combination of Transformations. It was amazing. I know I shouldn't be boastful or too proud about it but I can't help it. However, it was rather sad to see my friends actually cry 'cause they didn't do very well. Don't want to name them but all I could say is that this is just a class test, not the O Level Exams. So don't worry too much. Ouh ya...this isn't the first paper I scored full marks...I scored full marks for Biology too on Malaria but that test was easy until about 16 people scored full marks...so nothing to brag about it.

Depression for Fallin' Friendships

2007-04-25T22:44:00.000+08:00

In those of whom I call friends in the eyes
Are those who hates me in the heart
That were once claimed to be
Gold...

I don't know but that's what I'm feeling right now. I feel that my friends are avoiding me and getting further away. I don't like it 'cause I have this phobia of being lonely. I'm getting depressed over it

Oral Exams & Handphone

2007-04-24T23:51:00.000+08:00

Today's EL Oral Exam was the BOMB!!! It was shockingly fantastic and beautiful! Except the part when I had to describe the picture. The whole topic about this oral examinations is about MUSIC!!! If you didn't notice it, my blog is all about MUSIC!!! So...guess what? It was fabulous to talk about music. Firstly, the passage was easy to read. The only difficult words were "enticingly" and "saxophone". But i know how to pronounce those two words. Some may pronounce "saxophone" wrongly. When I started to read the passage, I don't know why but I was speaking in an English accent, which was weird. But the teacher invigilating me was Mrs Aziz...so I guess it was okay. Also, having a conversation with Mrs Aziz was SUPERBLY FUN!!! She asked about my experience either as a musician or as an observant. I chose observant and told her about the NAFA concert I went about 2 months ago. It was fun talking about 4 percussionists playing 20 over percussion instruments and also about the British Trumpet solo. I was cheerfully smiling talking about it.

After Oral, went home and waited for my brother to come home...so that I could go to Century Square to claim my handphone. The camera function was spoiled...It's just 4 months old and it's already spoiled. WTH! Nvm...luckily got warranty. Then...waiting for to get it back was HELL!!! The queue was SUPER LONG!!! Waited for about 2 hours just for my turn. The shop had to remain open even after its operating hours. Hhakz. Head down to KFC and ate the Original Chicken...which kinda sucks 'cause it's salty. Always chose crispy but due to time constraint, I chose Original...and also to try it out for once.

2007-04-21T23:39:00.000+08:00

Today... My whole family on my mother's side, my uncles, aunties, cousins, niece & nephews. It was like a feast. They all came to see my grandfather who is ill. Even in the midst of all that, my cousin-in-law, who is 39 by the way, gave some advice to me. Asking bout my future and all. He even gave some quotes like, "If you got no problem...thats the problem",which is so true. It was rather busy to do all that work in the house like cleaning the dishes and all. I even heard my niece said "Eh...my friend say, "The light in the shadow" and then he shine his torchlight." I find that her friend is rather emo. Hahkz. The whole night after the feast was busy doing chores; sweeping the floor. And laid out sleeping mats on the floor for my four aunties who came to sleepover.

Australian Gave a Party after Biology

2007-04-14T23:24:00.001+08:00

I think I'm not gonna write poetries 'cause all of them sucks. Somemore it's a waste of time to think of what to write in the poetry, and I've got no clue how to start this one.

Anyways...today, straight after our Biology Class, Elizabeth, aka. Lizzie, actually gave out chips & drinks to the whole class. She's the Australian girl by the way. Came to Singapore to visit her home country and was brought to school since yesterday; just for fun. She had to wear Phoebe's clothes yesterday; even the white shoes. Okay, back to the story...The whole class had a small party in the Biology Lab with chips being munched and crunched all the way. Mrs Diana said that since it's a biology lab, there are no cups provided. Only beakers. So, we all drank from the beakers, thus, we washed them twice before drinking the drinks. It was rather fun to have a party in the lab, when it is actually illegal to eat in the lab. All thanks to Mrs Diana. After that, we had our Physics class. It was fun to use the sun disks to find an image and make it look sharp and clear by adjusting the distance from it to the screen. Then...it was nothing much after the class. It was boring after that

2007-04-12T23:35:00.000+08:00

His regrets made tears flow
I couldn't kept the feeling
When the words were spread even further
It was a river I made
Yet...later on
It was happy to know he's okay

This morning...Mr Benjamin Quek gave an poem to the school; it's more towards the Band actually. It's about falling down and standing up again during a race. He's referring to us to get up on our feets, forget the past and move on. But when he said about the Band getting the Copper Gold...(like I said to some people) I stood up in the parade square and walked towards the passageway with tears flowing and eyes red. I went there and squat behind the walls, crying. Surprisingly, Mansfield came to me to comfort. It was nice of him. Then, Mdm Norul also came. And lastly, Ms Ng came towards me and gave me her hand to say that it's okay. She also said about the judges were bunch of crap and all 'cause there was only one Gold out of all the 26 schools yesterday. About 3/4 of them were Copper Gold. So, it was a start to cheer me up. The judges were idiots though. Then, Ms Ng asked the whole band to assemble at the passageway. Kinda nice of the teachers to give us napkins to wipe our tears. They really are supporting us...But when Ms Ng say, "You guys remember when Mr Wong said "Do not fear for I am here", I don't think he's gonna say that again to Westwood today". It was sad to hear that but of course almost all the band members will go to SCH to support Westwood.

Next chapter: We all gathered in front of the foyer and went to SCH together. It was funny to see the look on people's faces to see one whole compartment of the train being occupied by us. But it was fun. Then, being at SCH, we had to lie to say we're from Westwood. But then, they found out that we're from Coral. hahkz. Only some of us got to get inside the Hall. And Fairul came to us and was shocked to see all of us there and he asked "Why you all here?" No one answered him. Nadia said "Shut up la, Hypocrite". Hahkz. When Mr Wong came out...he was surprised to see all of us there supporting Westwood. Then, we had some conversations with him. It was random of him to say "Zul's getting bald". I was so "Huh?" We also gave him the huge poster Then, when it was time for the results, we all went in to hear the announcements. Again, the judges made their stupid appearance upon hearing their names. But we, the Coral members, didnt even clapped for them. So...when the results were out, I stood up to clap for Westwood as they achieved Silver. When walking towards Mr Wong, I shook his hand and congratulate him. It was happy to know that he's okay now.

Dreams As Stars- The Guiding Beacon of Life

2007-04-11T23:30:00.000+08:00

By surprise this shining light appeared
For which the Stars were sparkling
Bright like the Heavens
Waiting to be touched by the flesh of humans
None, however, fulfill that Dream
As a Dream like that is impossible
But Life is always like that
Without Stars
The sky will be too dark
We won't find guiding Beacons
And we will be forever lost

A poetry to cheer some of us up...To say that dreams are always impossible to reach, just like touching a star. Has anyone in this world ever lived to tell the tale about touching a star? Take dreams as Stars. Dreams can never be touched or fulfilled fully. 'Cause every time you feel as if you've fulfilled a dream, another one appears and dreams will never stop appearing in our lives. It can be difficult to understand but we all need goals or dreams in our lives...'cause if no dreams exist, our sky will be too dark...our life will be empty and nothing. We need some guidance to lead a purposeful life.

Don't worry if we didn't grab a Gold or maintain our Silver. 'Cause our next star to reach is Make Mr Wong Proud and make him gain his confidence back. I'm worried about that the most. Take this as a simple part of Life...Sometimes we win, other times we lose. If we lose to reach the previous Star...the Next Star, when reached, will be more satisfying & we will definitely WIN!!!

Today...It was an embarrasement to show my face in school. I was thinking twice whether to go or not. I mean who wouldn't. About 3/4 of the band members didn't come to school today. When I reached school...I overheard a girl saying "I thought the band was a silver band." To hear such phrase had just pierced my heart so deep that I almost cried. But after morning assembly...while I was walking to class, someone told me that Camy said that Mr Wong is blaming himself after what happened. Because of this, I cried walking back to class. I asked many people about tomorrow's performance of Westwood. Most of the band members are going to support them and Mr Wong. Good Luck!

The Truth was Too Much to Hold...

2007-04-10T23:28:00.000+08:00

Trying to create the best scene
Making Hope for it
Adding Life to suspension
And Reality is invented
The run to reach the other end of the Rainbow
Was a failure
Yet...all we could find was a Pot of Copper Gold

Well...I told some people that I won't update this blog for this day. But I really had to...for memory sake. I know we all will never forget this day...but just in case I lost my memory or something. Touchwood. Sorry. Well, today was our SYF day. We were very excited before our performance actually; people caring bout their hair (the guys toilet was filled with all of the guys doing their hair in front of the mirror), their uniform, having the perfume fragrant smell & many more. However, i could see not just excited faces but also, nervous ones. Some people had this look of uneasiness and had uncomfortable faces. They don't seemed focus.

As said, before the performance, we did our warm-ups and the St. Patrick's boys (I call them boys instead of guys) was laughing at us for doing such things. But we didn't care about them. In the end, the moment we have all been waiting for, the moment we've prepared for so long, finally came. "One minute on stage bt One year to prepare". After the performance, some of us cried for not doing their best or played wrongly.

Finally, the moment of Truth...Firstly, the judges were actually very entertaining to us audience. When their names were being called out, they did their signature moves; like bowing and create funny faces and even grabbing the microphone from the emcee and said "Aloha" to us. We were very excited and surprised with their actions. However...some excitements don't last forever. When the emcee announced every band's medals...the atmosphere was getting intense. And when the emcee said "Band Number 43: Coral Secondary School"...we held each others' hands and prayed hard...he said the B- word. We were in total Shock! hearing that word. We had dropped one medal down. Tears then fell from every eyes except for some (counted four to be exact). We regretted not doing our best for Mr Wong. All of us were. I don't really understand why the seniors don't understand why we cried. I mean okay...we sounded bad...but getting a Copper Gold (a replacement for the B-word) is sad enough to trigger our tear glands to secrete tears. Why can't they understand that?

After that, Illys, Khairiah, Rasyidah, Wardah, Nushrah, Izzah, Nadia & I went to a nearby (it was actually far away) food court, near SCH. We ate our food with guilt; which we should not have when we eat. But we couldn't help it. To work so hard just for this day...and disappointing us like that...has totally brought us down. Furthermore, we worry about Mr Wong as we've let him down.

Such Hateful Acts Brings the World Down to Sin

2007-04-09T23:30:00.000+08:00

A smile was given
Yet, the Devil's eyes were returned
A simple act but a freakish face
Hence, the world be not a better place
What judgements will be awarded?
For such hearts will be discarded
And the wind was blowing to the end of Time...

Yes...Something so dark and powerful is the act of despise. For such hatred towards another, brings a heart so hurt when their lips were smiling to such hateful people. I smiled to this person, yet, the person gave an angry, hateful look by turning away sharply using the eyes. Due to that, I began to think twice about the definition of 'friends'. Yes...The person was regarded as a friend. Sigh...Pity that a smile was never returned the way it should be. Such acts will never make the world a better place.

Anyway, today had a rehearsal. THE SECOND LAST REHEARSAL OF BAND!!! OMG! The next day is already SYF!!! Rehearsal today was just average. I almost cried hearing the band play and watching Mr Wong's actions to us. He was quite strict and was in a bad mood. Somemore, there were last minute reminders to us...in which I think that most of us will forget. One will be about when we're suppose to wait for Mr Wong's cue to put down our instruments. It's already a habit...Quite difficult to change that now. But...just hope many will remember. So, all I can really say is GOOD LUCK!!! hahkz. Even when he was in a bad mood, he did joke around here and there. He told us what he found out from today's morning SYF. There were many funny stories like being seasick watching one band 'cause they move too much with expressions...another about the conductor who would do any action possible to conduct the band;like bend down so low just to imitate the effect of the Piano and crescendo. He even say about the Sunrise...Most played that song but was pretty boring as they all thought that this was a technical and easy piece when it's actually difficult. 'Cause the song is very expressive but none was able to produce the expression. Hope our band will be very expressive for that song. Will score marks one as playing with expressions will beat all the other bands in Singapore that plays Sunrise. Must not make the judges find it boring and say "Not another one". Come on people!!! We coloured the scores already. Potray those colours into your music and you'll succeed.

2007-04-08T23:41:00.000+08:00

Papers all over the desk
Holidays are sometimes much hated
Inks were waiting to be used
Mind too disturbed
The fight needs to be prepared
Can't concentrate

There's nothing to talk about today. It's just sitting on the chair and doing homework. A pile of papers waiting to get ink spilling all over it. But I just can't concentrate. Too worried about SYF Competition this Tuesday. Hence, "The fight needs to be prepared". I did my practice in the study room. Playing the Euphonium in a house is actually very disturbing to others. So, my mum actually played a music disc in the living room to overcome my playing. Sigh. Another reason is that I'm too tired. Didn't get enough sleep. Why is it that every single holidays that came, teachers have to give tonnes of homework to us? "Holidays are sometimes much hated" I really do hate it when teachers do this.

2007-04-07T22:59:00.000+08:00

Is it a sin to make a scene?
Or let tears flow across the rivers of feelings?
Guilt overruns this soul
Faith was running away
For such unbelievable Hope
Will vanish into thin air
I am sorry...

Yes. The poetry actually represents the truth about our playing. I actually do not have faith in us getting a Gold. But a part of me says that we can. It's just a matter of whether we will or will not. It all depends on the judges, If we're lucky, the judges will be in a good mood hearing our Sunrise and will mainly judge on expressions. But even our expressions aren't enough. I don't hear any hills or valleys on the song. Americans really love to judge on this point. So, try to imitate the feelings of the song. Be sad during the sad parts. Be joyful at the fun parts. Create hills and valleys; Expand the dynamics range. Articulations are too late to get improved. But hopefully the judges judge on the other points more. We need to beat Crescent Girls to reach our goal; the achievement of the Gold Award. I too want to feel the glory of obtaining a Gold Award for being in a performing arts group. If this is what the band really wants...Make it happen.

Went to White Sands to grab a late lunch at McDonald's and bought some groceries. Can't believe Nadia(T-bone) said that my outfit is boring and commented on my walking. It's just that I need money to buy new clothes. My wardrobe is like so skinny. Need to buy more. I went to many shops and wanted to buy those cool trends but money was a major problem.

After coming back home, I went to the void deck to listen to the Clarinetists practice. They practiced under my block and I can say that even when I go to the toilet in my house(on the 12th Floor by the way), I can hear Frederick clapping to the tempo and the melody by the clarinets of Sunrise and Alvamar. But it was fun listening to them play. Laughed with Jia Xuan about some band stuffs. Hahakz.

Unbearable Heat~Victim of the Sun

2007-04-06T23:02:00.000+08:00

From now onwards, I'm going to write poetries before most of my posts to give a brief picture about my post. I don't know why but I just feel like doing it. And okay Celestine. I'm posting up a post here. Was too tired to write posts nowadays. Sorry for the late delays.

I walked through fire today
Beneath the heat
Above the flame
My feets are scorched
I was a victim
Of the Sun
Better yet...
The Moon tonight was ablazed

This is quite a literal poetry. Went to the mosque today for the Friday Prayers. Being late was a terrible choice made. The late ones had to pray outside the mosque...ON THE ROAD!!! I was one of them. The black road was freaking hot man! Being barefooted just makes it worse. I had to jerk up abit so as not to absorb too much heat from the road. The road was SOOOO HOOOTTTT!!! Hence, the line 'my feets are scorched'. My feets were burned like Hell. I guess this was retribution. I was so jealous of the guy beside me as he brought his own praying carpet there. His feets were touching the soft, smooth, cooling fibres of the carpet while mine was on the black, heat-absorbing, stony road. ERGGHHHHH!!! And to make this post even worse...when I walked with my slippers to my father's car, guess what...the flaps were broken. The glue which sticks the flaps to the slippers was too hot and eventually looses its stickiness. ERGHHHH!!! I had to walk barefooted to the car. EMBARRASSING!!! Had to walk on the grass as it was cooling and the white paint arrows on the road as, from what we learn in Science-Physics, white reflects heat as it reflects light. Haiz...Worse, there was a construction site there. My brother had to say "Eh, got glass!" when I was walking on the grass. So I had to be extremely careful. Luckily, I didn't step onto any glass but my feets were burned by the heat. So, i wasn't really lucky.

The last line 'The Moon tonight was ablazed' is because the Moon really was orangish-yellow. It seems as if it was on fire. Very nice colour actually. But what's with the strong the heat today??? Actually, it's NOWADAYS!!! Recently, it's been scorching hot. Ouh ya...It's the Summer Season. No wonder. Totally forgot.

Last Minute Flea Market

2007-03-10T00:24:00.000+08:00

9 March 2007:
On this day, the school had a flea market for the CIP Week. It was so fun! We get to sell stuffs; creative ones, reused ones, cute ones and more. It was the best day for Term 1 this year. Hahakz. But for my class, we had a problem with it 'cause we didnt know what to sell until the day before today. We quickly came out with the idea to sell cartoon drawings from our Art-talented people. Our class were divided into 4 groups; Food Hamper Decoraters, Toiletries Hamper Decoraters, Tracers & Colourers. I was in the tracing team. So, I had to blind my eyes looking down at the projector while tracing the drawings. Using the projectors was the only way to speed up the tracing. After tracing, I went to colouring (in which I'm not used to). When I looked at the Toiletries Hamper, it was a marvellous job 'cause the decorations were very neatly and beautifully done. Duh! Decorated by girls. Unlike the Food Hamper. It was a total mess and it was heavily packed with so many things. Well...it was expected from the decorations of boys' creativity. I was disappointed with my own kind. Sigh. After that, we had a special privelege of having recess during the reading period. It was very wonderful to have no queues at all at the stalls and the canteen was so empty. This is happening twice as the day before, after our Chemistry SPA, we also had this privelege.
For assembly, we had the MINDS group to perform for us on Rasa Singapura and the Japanese Drums performance. I was actually quite shocked when they say they were trained for 8 months to perform those stuffs. Yet, I would say 'Great Job' to them as they really did impress all of us. During assembly, it was surprising that the upper sec were very quiet compared to the lower sec. We were actually praised by Mdm Ch'ng. Hahkz. So funny.
Today, Zack was like the worst kind of people ever known to me. He was like so extra, keep shouting here and there. It was just a small matter and he had to scream. WTF! My friends and I really hate him. What a jerk! I cannot say what happened. Sorry. Private Memories.

Kyle Speaking for the First Time

2007-03-03T14:26:00.000+08:00

This is the part when Kyle actually spoke for the first time. He heard that sentence from the Boys' Home he went previously. And he memorised that sentence from one of the boys there. It's the funniest part of the episode. I laughed like hell. The family was so shocked and their reaction was amusing hearing Kyle speak for the first time. Hahkz

Kyle hearing Canon in D

2007-03-03T14:14:00.000+08:00

OK...I've said so many times to post this video on my blog. Well, here it is. It's from the drama series Kyle XY. It's about a teenage boy, Kyle, who doesn't know anything yet about the world. It's like as if he was born again. I suspect that he's a clone or something. Well, I'll just have to watch the rest of the episodes.

This video is when Kyle heard a piano playing Pachelbel Canon in D. This is the part when I actually cried. I know...I'm emotional. But, what he said is true. Just check out this video...You may or may not understand.

Sports Day and its Unluckiness

2007-03-01T23:37:00.000+08:00

Today, we had our Annual Sports Day 2007. It was a terrible start for such an event. Guess what? It was raining lightly at the beginning but it became worse as time flies. I was so tired to go there. Sleepy, raining. If you think thats worse, there are tonnes of stuffs that happened today.

Firstly, last night I was so enthusiastic about bringing my digital camera to the stadium to take pictures. But although I brought the camera itself, when I turned it on, nothing happened. And guess what? My batteries are left at home. So, I was carrying a battery-less camera. Stupid right?

Another event was that Abbie slipped and fell after she ran and cross the finishing line. It was terrible. She slipped and head was on the ground, as if glued to it, then her legs went over her body and head. Meaning she did a 180 degrees flip on the ground. It was a horrible sight. But despite that, she still wants to run and she ran for the next event she participated. After that event, she was seriously injured and the Red Cross attended the same person 15 minutes ago. Ouh ya...she was carried by a Red Cross guy, which should be a memorable thing for her 'cause the guy is not those kind of nerdy-kind of people and he graduated from Coral for quite some time already. I actually took a video of the part when Abbie slipped but not the 180 degrees flip. Was too shocked and my hands was on the other direction. Abbie was then, bandaged...well, her knee that is. It twisted.

Another bad event was that in my house, Discoverers, two boys fought each other. The story from which I heard was that one drank milo and spit it out to the other boy's shirt. Who wouldn't be angry? And Ms Tham had to shout to them. Hahkz. During the Sports Day, during the staff race, it was fun to actually watch teachers run. Mr Osman was the shock for all the spectators as he ran as fast as lightning!!! It was so surprising to us.
Finally, Sports Day was won by Entrepreneurs and some ran all the way around the track with the trophy held high.

After the Sports Day, I followed Abbie and the gang(Hazelin, Amanda, Atiqah, Pavithra) for lunch...or brunch. It was torturing for me, Amanda, Atiqah and Pavi 'cause we had to walk very slow as Hazelin and Abbie are lame. Their legs were injured; one from school, the other from Sports Day. One on the left, the other on the right. Hahkz. When we walked, every passerby looked at us, wondering why we were so slow. After they looked at the legs, their confusion suddenly became clear. It was funny to some as its already embarassing for one to have an injured leg. But this one was two people who are injured!!! We walked so slow due to them but it was a fun experience. Hazelin just remembered that when she fell, Abbie kept teasing her for being lame then Hazelin said "Stop it lah. If you fall down arh, it'll be worse than me." It seemed that retribution due to curses and words are true. Poor Abbie.

Nightmares, Haircut, Shopping

2007-02-25T23:38:00.000+08:00

Last night, I had a really weird dream. I think I had a dream in a dream. Woah! Freaky isnt it? I dreamt that I broke a vase. Then, in my second dream, or the one after I dreamt about the broken vase without waking up, I actually broke a small flower pot. It's like freaky. After I slept again, I dreamt about me walking around an alley with my brother & his friend. It looks like those corners you can find at Geylang Streets there. Then, there's a Malay guy wearing a Jubah or a Muslim Traditional long-shirt, who came to us. Next, a few women wearing a scarf around their heads, most definitely women came towards us from different directions. One of them was like forcing her little sister or brother to the scene. A man also in Jubah came. I felt suspicious about this and I quickly came to the conclusion that this is a kidnapping scene. Hence, I quickly pulled the shirt of my brother's friend and flee the scene. The question is "Where's my brother?" Dreams are always like this. They stop halfway...which we human should not follow.
Today, I had a haircut at Century Square. Scared about being caught for attire problem. Our school's security now very tight and troublesome. Sigh. So, I have this spiky-kind of haircut with some hair at the front left a little long. You just have to look at it tomorrow morning during school. After the haircut, my family went to Parkway Parade for dinner and some shopping. I went to Isetan to look at the clothes. Usually when I was young, I mean very young, I'll go to the toys section to see toys. Now, I go there for clothes. I found so many interesting clothes there, like this quite hard looking sweater and it looks like those army-style uniform. Very nice but the price is like always-the-problem thing. I even went to other shops like TopMan, Giordano, Esprit, Samuel & Kelvin. Giordano got like nothing except for a few blazers that caught my eyes. I'm into blazers these days. The other shops got like fascinating stuffs. So, many shirts and jackets that definitely caught my attention. But like I said...the price was too beyond. Very expensive. The cheapest I could find was $40. The most expensive was around $180. Sigh. Hence, I didnt buy anything other than a Soya Bean Bottle (V-Soy) from Giant and of course the food for dinner.

2007-02-02T22:57:00.000+08:00

It seems so fast that January is over and February starts filling in. Time is really getting faster. We didn't even feel anything of what happened during January. Which is not a very good thing. If you don't know what i mean, I'll explain. Instead of learning many stuffs...we didn't really feel that we had actually learnt stuffs in schools. Quite weird, huh?

1st February 2007:
There is a big news...HUGE NEWS. Zhen Yong and I saw something that shocks us. Our eyes actually caught a Chinese secondary 3 couple kissing each other...MOUTH-TO-MOUTH!!! It was disgusting though...and it's not allowed in school!!! YES...they kissed in school!!! And from the way they kissed, it looks as if it's a normal thing to do, like they've done it several times already. I actually know a friend who is a friend of the guy...but i won't tell who. Classified information. Sorry.

Also, on this day, I watched an absolutely amazing show called "Kyle XY". It's an interesting show about a mysterious teenage boy who lost his memory about who he is or how to actually survive as a human being. He learnt to quash hunger, ask for drinks, experiencing miracles of everyday life (yet, we don't appreciate them) and even fight just by copying other people. He's a bloody smart guy as he only uses dots of crayons to create a 3D/camera photo picture on a piece of blank paper, gotten all correct for an IQ Test in just 5 minutes when it should take about 2 hours to finish it up, used his brains more than Einstein as seen in the result of the MRI Test (which in fact should cause a seizure or coma to ordinary people), memorises after reading once about the binary code of a picture and recreate it in another laptop. He is so cool!!! He even made the family ,that took him in, reunited again. Yes...this is all done in just one episode. Wonder what the other episodes would be.

2007-01-30T23:42:00.000+08:00

This morning ran again...like yesterday. Yupp...the band has to run around the school twice every morning from now on. This is to build stamina and also increase our air capacity. We NEED to play Alvamar Overture fully. That's why we need air. Sigh...it is hard work you know. Waking up early every morning...then we had to run. And this will go on till God knows when. I'm really tired running and now...Ms Ng wants to increase the distance. Maybe 3 rounds instead of 2. Gonna be tired for lessons after that. Another thing is that the word 'quit' came from Fairul's mouth on Saturday...now, it came out from Mr Wong himself today. He may gonna quit and this proves how terrible we all are. This is truly sad man. We want him...the kindest conductor in S'pore. Who wouldn't want. Ouh ya...while we were having the static drills outside, beside the street soccer court, a boy kicked a basketball from the court and it directly smashed onto a Clarinet!!! The Clarinet was damn broken and nothing can be done to it. It cost about $1000 plus!!! Who in the world wouldn't be angry about it? I just felt like taking that ball and bursting it in front of his face. Damn Idiot le!!! Now...Mr Wong wants the guy, i mean boy (should not be referred as guy), to pay for it in instalments. I wonder how that's gonna happen...but he must be punished.

A Sea of Disappointment

2007-01-28T00:05:00.000+08:00

Ok...this post is about what happened during our band rehearsal at S'pore Conference Hall; preparing for SYF. This was supposed to be for 27th January 2007. Sorry if i put it on 28th January. I update too late. Hahkz. Ok...when we reached there, after entering the Hall, it was completely silent. The air was so still in the Hall. Even a drop of a pin could be heard. Hence, even the slightest mistake from any instrument could be obviously heard. It was scary. When we were playing, shadows of familiar figures were seen walking and finding a seat in the Hall. Of course, those are our seniors; to listen and comment on us. Haiz. We made a lot of mistakes there. After we left the building, and went to the CDS Shelter to go back home...during fall in, we were harshly commented by our seniors and teachers. Even Ms Tham, a muscially-untrained person, could hear that we were out of tune when we played. Very ashamed of ourselves. Ms Ng was the one who made many people cried 'cause she commented on every section in the band. She gave little praises but mostly emphasized on our mistakes. And that led her to raise her voice about some sections. It was very scary and mean...but hopefully, this woke us up. We need to wake up and stand fast as SYF is not that far. We only have about 18 or 20 full band practices left. That's not much. We're still ill-prepared. So the only way is to pray and hope for a miracle. But we don't need them if we practise hard enough and really have the desire to grab that Gold. We want...i mean...NEED that Gold. We wanna prove to people that Coral Concert Band, a neighbourhood band, could also achieve something great. That's what Mr Wong wants. He wants to prove to people that they thought wrong about neighbourhood school having low achievements. That's his wish...that's why he chose Coral Secondary School and start a band here. He, as they say, is the kindest conductor in Singapore. He makes jokes a lot of times...other conductors just won't smile at all. He made us happy and didnt punish us that harsh any more. We need him...It scares me when Fairul said "If Mr Wong quits...its your fault." The fact that the word 'quit' was pronounced clearly by his lips shocked me. We need him...So, are we gonna just give up now and say 'I dont wanna continue'? If we all cannot handle this, how are we gonna survive after graduation? The world out there is cruel. If we cannot make it, then, no one will. We are...the Future. So...WAKE UP AND BREATHE THE FRESH AIR!!! WE WANT NOT JUST THE GOLD BUT ALSO TO PROVE TO OTHERS WE CAN ACHIEVE MORE!!! We dont wanna lose face...degrading ourselves to Bronze, do we? So, I advise to you guys...PLEASE PRACTICE!!!

Make-Up for the Lost Days

2007-01-25T23:41:00.000+08:00

Ok...i know that this blog has not been updated for a long time for several times already. I just didn't have the time to update blogs. I've had tonnes of homeworks ever since day one. If there's no homework, I had band practices and I was too tired to type out posts when I came back. I'm just too tired to do anything now. I intend to update for quite some time now but I was just too tired. So now...on this night, I finally found a time to post my blog. Many people are disappointed that I didn't update this blog, 'cause it's always empty and no new stuffs. Well...now I try to recall what had happened for the last 24 days, before I forget.

5th January 2007:
On this night...at around 1am, so it shud b on the 6th January, I was so surprised when my dad actually asked me "Are you doing well for your studies?" carrying a red paper bag. I just said "ok la...y?"...He just smiled at me with mum behind him. "Is there a handphone inside there?" i asked while pointing to the red paper bag. "You saw already arh?" he asked, giving me the look of 'how-you-know'. Then I said "Well...isn't that paper bag from Singtel? The logo is on the bag." He then laughed and said "Yeah...it's for you." I was so surprised and joyful at the same time and quickly opened the contents of a box inside the bag. It was a Nokia 6280 model handphone!!! It's the same as my dad's!! Hahkz. I know to some people it's useless or quite old already but that's all he could afford for a phone. He wanted to buy for me the latest model, Nokia 6288, but like I just said, he couldn't afford it. But it was worth having a new phone, even if it is an old model. I can finally listen to songs in my handphone now...one of my wishes actually. So, then, I immediately read through the manual of the phone to know how to operate it better.

8th, 9th & 10th January 2007:
On this three days...we had the SuperTeen programme. We thought it was lame or boring to have this sort of programme. But as time goes by...it was so much interesting than we thought. It was quite effective in certain areas and it lasted even after the programme ended for a short period of time. Then, it was back to Reality again. Hahkz. I'm sorry...I wish I could write more about the programme but we had all swear not to say anything. "What stays in this room...stays in the room" But I could tell you about the last day. Most of our parents came and was so interested listening to Ernest Wong. He sure knows how to entertain people and teach at the very same time. Excellent Motivator. Most parents weren't bored listening to him. But one of them hated him 'cause he made people laugh so much until later when a different story was told...tears were already rolling down our cheeks. We even gave our parents and teachers a hug on that evening. Heck...even the principal!!! hahkz. It was fun though.

19th January 2007:
On this evening...Dayana, Illyssa and I went to watch a movie. We intend to watch Pan's Labyrinth but it was NC 16...Illyssa & I was still 15. Erghhhhh!!! Still young. Lolz. So, we all watched Ghost Tunnel instead. A Japanese Horror Movie. Quite scary but it wasn't too shocking. But it was ugly though. What's more, the storyline led to a storyline and led to another. It was somehow confusing...and there wasn't a story about how the haunting even began. We though it was Yaeko who killed them...But it turns out that she too was a victim. The background music was eerie and it could make hairs stand. But the three was actually laughing in the cinema, for some reasons. hahkz. No point telling here...needs action to make people laugh.

22nd January 2007:
On this afternoon...we had a Brass Sectional with our tutor, Mr Pek. I was in charge on that day for the band room. It was shocking when I opened the Instrument Room as the Euphonium cases were drenched and wet with the water leaking out of the air-conditioners above them. I was completely scared about what might happened. Especially wondered what Ms Ng might say or act. So, i quickly went to the General Office and told Auntie Rosie about the leak...She immediately called Mr Sam and the uncle who usually helps with the stuffs in the school (in which the school called him a School Servant). I don't really like it when the school address them as Servants...I would definitely prefer School Helpers. Servants sounds too harsh and mean. Ok ok...out of point here. I'll write an essay on that topic some oder time. Back to the past...Mr Sam went into the band room and the School Helper actually checked the air-conditioners to find the problem. I was panicking at that moment but luckily, Fathiah and Rasyidah was dere to help and took care of the Instrument Room. So, i joined the sectionals moments later. We practiced Alvamar Overture frm page one to two. We still had plenty of stuffs to do for that song. Erghhhh....Just hope we get a Gold and this will decrease the burden for the cost of the overseas trips like Australia. Hahkz. Can't wait though. Yet...still worried about Alvamar. Although nice piece, we need alot of work to get it done as it is difficult to play. Haiz

24th January 2007:
I don't remember much about this day...but i remember about the times during PE. I chose Softball as an elective. We played Softball and it was fun. We get to wear those brown hard-gloves to catch the ball. But it was just a warm-up. We didnt use the bat to hit the ball but just throw the balls to open areas, and once used our legs to kick the ball. Hahkz. Next week...we're gonna use the bats to hit the balls. Gonna be fun. For those who can't use bats...dey're gonna use a tennis racket. Hahkz. Can't wait for next week PE. This is the first time I really was looking forward for PE. Seems like Softball is gonna be my favourite sport. Hahkz

Well...that's all that I could remember about the 24 days since I was lost. Hence, the title for this post is Make-Up for the Lost Days. hahkz. Hope this is my last make-up. Not easy to recall the past know. So...now it's very late. So i end this Repertoire of Time and shall look for the Mysteries of Tomorrow. So, gd nitez and gd bye

As promised, i'll give you my poetry entitled "Alone"

Alone
I feel the presence of this darkness
But no eyes in the world could see it
It gave me nothing but a single drop of curious
What's curious, you ask?
I could see no one in the streets
No one in the house
No one in my life
I'm just there
Holding a broken mirror
Facing it to me
Nothing reflected
No reflection but the walls
If that's me...
Then who am I?
Am I also nothing?
I don't like this game
What is this feeling?
This fear
This absence
No one to come for me
Maybe i'm just lost
But how can I be lost when i'm nothing?
I'm confused
Stop playing this game
I don't like it

I hope you guys like it...N pls give comments. Thnx

2007-01-02T01:00:00.000+08:00

I'm so sorry that I didn't update my blog for a long time. I intended to write about my adventures during the band camp and my holidays in Malaysia. But time didn't give permission and it's already 2007. Ouh ya...forgot, HAPPIEE NEW YEAR!!! hahkz. I had so much to write about, so much to tell but now, I'm feeling tired and lazy to write a full essay about them. But now, just forget about the past, and start living in the present. O Level is not so far now. Haiz. Need to study hard, especially Biology. Mrs Diana will be damn strict now. No more playing a fool. And even SYF this year!!! OMG! I'm so scared. Don't know which song to play. Ouh ya...this afternoon, while i was in the bus to Parkway Parade, i saw this Eurasian guy pulling down his pants and showing his ass to another bus. I guess his friends were on it but it was damn disgusting to show your butt in a public place. His Chinese girlfriend had to stop him and asked him to pull up his pants. The gal was damn embarassed sia. Sori i didnt snap a picture to show you all. It was however, unexpected. Lolz. I guess I better go now. It's getting extremely late...tomorrow i'll be showing a poetry i wrote about myself entitled Alone. Some of my friends said that it was deep. But I dont know about you guys. Read it and give comments, ok? Good Nitez...Candi Dreamz

Dat guy realli noes how2 carry d woman n d woman realli noes hw 2 show emotions.hahakz sounds too emo. The next programme was bout Identity, performed by the Alumni. It was quite shocking dat dey're actualli dancing blindfolded. I duno whether dats true or nt la...havnt ask mi cuzzin yet. But if dey realli r blindfolded...it is shocking coz dey cud dance so well n even noe d positions lor. KEWL!!! The next programme was called Shaken...but not Stirred. Quite a risky dance coz dey're carryin' suitcases wif dem n was throwing dem at each other. Quite a marvellous performance.

The 8th programme was SUPER CREATIF LOR!!! D starting music was d pouring rain. Wen a person wearing d white mask was carryin' an open-umbrella on stage...all d oder white mask people, who were sitting on d stairs of d Convention Centre stood up n opened their umbrellas n was lyk spooking everione in d audience. One gal actualli screamed. Hahkz. Den dey danced wif their umbrellas to d front. It was SUPER DAMN NICE LOR!!! I lyk dis programme. Veri creative.

Ouh...n mi cuzzin was dere dancing in dis item.Next was Holding On. 5 female dancers dancing expressing their emotions of a broken heart. Hahkz. d music was Because of You by Kelly Clarkson. The 14th item was called Boys 2 Men...bt i prefer it to b called Boys 2 Gays. Sori no offence bt it was quite gay coz all r guyz n all carry each oder. At one part was lyk carrying here n there...a little gay to me. Bt it was fun lor...n funny. got humour inside. The second last item was nt dancing bt bout Beat-boxing. IT WAS SUPER DAMN BLOODY KEWL LOR!!! D guy realli can make music frm his mouth or throat or tongue or wateva he uses sia. Oso...he uses his bro to dance to his beat-boxing. WHICH IS ANODER KEWL POINT FOR DAT!!! So kewl to haf a bro lyk dat. His bro can dance lyk hell...nvr seen anyone dance lyk him. D amazing thing was wen he cud move his chest up during one of d beats. Super AMAZING!!! I guess he lifts weights coz i tink he's using his build chest muscles. Amazing lor. Both brothers working 2gether...an outstanding event. Finally...d last item was Faces-part two (Together). Its d mask people again. Hahkz. i realli lyk d choreography on dis. Its veri exciting to watch n white hands flying around. Hahkz.
