i have been enjoying life so far, so much so that it makes me want to get to the next phase of my life which hopefully slow down the rotting process of my overall well-being. being subjected to alot of rest and free time, i have so far cultivated a bag full of sleepy germs that can last for weeks, before the effect of it wears of. because of this slacking, i came to realise what i want in life. free time can be pretty disastrous, it makes u think. thinking is good but thinking too much might have adverse effect on u too. well, NS might be a good start!
after having ivan around, my attitude towards NS has certainly changed quite abit. alot of times, we change without even realising it. either for the better, or for worse. a good company therefore, will definitely helps to build up your character. days of stoning at home made me realise how small one can be. we, by ourselves can really be very insignificant. our identity comprises of others as well. at the same time, we have to find an identity of our own, not of the group. i don't think alot of people will understand what i'm saying so i'll try to simplify my thoughts abit. alot of times, we try to reach for the stars. when we are able to do that, we feel happy, so much joy that we can't contain it - it overflows. if i were to be a loner, even if i got distinctions for everything but i have no one to share with, i have yet to achieve anything. this is to elaborate on the importance of having friends.
to find our identity within a group of friends, i am referring to having a mindset of ur own. everyone is a unique creation. we are made to think, act and behave differently. don't try to be somebody else just to blend in. it doesn't work that way. in the context of the body of christ, we have to find our own talents, so as to contribute effectively towards the church.
so much for the thinking. i believe life is actually very simple. 2 key words. listen and obey. i pretty much hope that my life is build upon this two principles. but we as humans, tends to complicate stuff. from simple things like love, friendship, school etc. friendships to me is by far the most important thing right now, apart from my family that is. friends encircled my life. i love and trust them, hoping to get back the same treatment. i like it when people share. in fact, that is the first criteria that i look for in a friend. being there with me is cool but u know, our friends are not God. he/she is not omni present. over the years, i've learnt not to count on it so much. for sharing, it is a must. yes i do believe that we have to have some privacy of our own, that is to make friendship more interesting. however, the closeness u can get in a friendship is close related to how much privacy u keep for urself. i shan't elaborate too much on that as it is self explainatory. another important factor to determine the closeness will be mutual love language. i think right now, it should be pretty obvious what my love language is, namely physical touch and quality time. i would naturally be more attracted to people who are willing to spend more time with me and have some physical contacts.. oh wait, that sounded quite wrong. physical contact is something that is quite natural. either u have it or u don't. as for quality time, spend more time with me and i will be ur good friend. thats bout it i guess. apart from this two, there's the words of affirmation and gifts. words of affirmation refers to encouragement and gift is giving presents. nothing simplier than that. the trick to get close to pple fast is by knowing the love language of ur friend. after which, things will flow nicely.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
went out with ivan today since he stayed over last night. we went to play basketball along with jon joel and co. played till 9 plus then we went for supper at the prata house nearby. food was great. mmm hmmm.. the food with have been better if it were hot!
went back, bathed, talked to ivan till quite late. woke up really late too, talked again and went to town area for gym. the place is really nice. worked out for less than an hour and there was this booming voice that called me all the way to the pool. swam abit and tanned all the way. in the midst of all these activities, i continued to talk to ivan. don't be surprised how much guys can talk. it is endless and btw, we weren't bitching most of the time. amy sort of told the cg that guys bitched more but i think its more like we are equal. had lunch there. i ordered the mee goreng which turned out to be really nice. ivan ordered pasta with lots of cheese. dunno how he survived. haha.
went shopping after that. i wanted to spend some money, but was unable to find anything nice enough to capture my attention. ivan bought this nice pair of jeans. walked around, settled down for a drink and walked all the way to parklane, where i took bus home while he walked back. overall, it was rather interesting. heh. i have pimples on face, injuries on my foot, hair loss from my scalp. what more can i ask? armygonnarockmyhotbodswithallthoseniceabsthatwillnotrotevenwheniwearsmellysocks.
that doesn't really make sense but at least it rhymes. haha. S T O N E D ! !

talked to zech until 5am yesterday. woke up only at 12pm, 7 hrs of sleep. not too bad right. i played abit of maple, cuz i needed to check the price of some items to sell. some pple came to KS and me guess what, got 2 scrolls after hitting like 2 green mushrooms. not bad eh. got 100% pet scroll to increase the speed by 1. think pple can get it from shop but i dunno how much. hahah..
went for a swim at 1pm since my com hanged halfway when i was playing. the weather was really nice. like how ivan described the feeling of the water molecules get in contact with the body. yeah, it felt nice. tried to swim a few laps then suddenly my back started hurting so decided not to push myself further. just dipped in the pool for almost an hour, trying to tan abit and then i went for a jog at the stadium beside the swimming pool.
jogging after swimming was pretty dumb. should do that the other way round but i decided not to since i dun feel like bathing in the public toilet at the swimming pool after amy told me bout what happened to her friend at the gym toilet. the weather makes jogging so much more undesirable. i gave up after finishing 2.4km. suppose to do like 5 times for 800m at 3.15mins but i couldn't, so ya. had to stop after 3 sets. actually i don't even haf a stopwatch la so dunno how long i ran. but the first time should be below 3.15. haha. at the second one, think i dropped to 5mins alr. the third set is even better. finished 400m, rest abit, then sprinted for one whole round.
was really tired after that. decided not to do pushups already, so i went to the minimart to get a drink. the indian had serious attitude problem. if i weren't that thirsty, would have stopped myself from getting the drink. i was at the counter trying to give him the money while he was talking on the phone, looked at me, and looked away. so i just stared at him for awhile. after that another customer came in. think the indian guy knows him. put down the phone and talked to that customer. i pushed the money to him for the second time. he hesitated before taking the money. whats his problem la!!
i was rather sticky and all, lazy to walk home, so took a bus. went to bathe and thats when i decided to really relax. previously my mum got me alot of metro stuff and left it in the toilet so i began to explore all of them. first it was the rejuvenating shampoo with abit of mint, then i tried the body exfoliating lotion which supposingly will smoothen my skin. it has alot of green pebbles kinda stuff that will remove my dead cells or dunno what la. indeed after i washed it off, my skin felt smoother but at the same time, i think its because of the contrast from the pebbles. applied the hair treatment simply because my hair was really rough due to the contact with chlorine at the swimming pool. after bathing, applied after sun lotion with aloe vera essense. its really cooling. prepared my own lunch with soup. had a cup of coca cola with ice and went in to my room to read.after dinner im going to put on a cool mask. haha. dang METRO, but the feeling is really nice. i shall go to a spa soon with the voucher from my mum. must really enjoy myself before going NS. wahahaha. this will be my first and my last time. i dun really like the exfoliating crap, diff to wash it off.
i have a nice tan now. haha... feeling gay??!! lol

im quite excited as the enlistment day is drawing near. like what joel call me today, recruit leong!! i am going to be officially demoted from the oh-so-high-ranking civilian to recruit, slave of the nation. currently, i'm trying to enjoy as much as possible and at the same time, nened to improve my fitness level too. its quite difficult to balance both of this at the same time since as much i tried to psycho myself into believing that jogging alone is fun, its not exactly working. just like today, came home around 6.30pm. could have gone for a short half an hour jog around the neighbourhood but my body told me that i am still suffering from the cramps after the gyming on friday. lets start from what happened in the morning.
met christine to collect our salary from the comex show, as well as the 5 weeks contract. my boss gave me a reduction of $90 because she made a loss from the shop that i was working at. since there were 2 full timers and one part timer (which happens to be me), they decided to cut my salary to reduce the losses. i didn't bother to argue since it wouldn't solved anything and there's literally nothing i can do to get back the money i deserve. thought of the possible reasons, things like:
u are still young, go for the experience..
u should think of the company too..
i am very reasonable.. etc
like whatever man!! anyway, went for lunch with christine after that at macs. it was quite a quick one. asked me to walk her to raffles place and then i went to chris' house to slack. played with yoda as usual then walked around the neighbourhood to look at other dogs. came back and played the com. challenged chris on some funny games found on www.ebaumsworld.com. played until it was time to meet ivan and amy at yio chu kang gym. it was nice working out with them. ivan was obviously the fittest of all, could see all the well defined muscles on his body. he looks really busty. wahahaha. he's not going to read this post until friday so till then, i should still be alive. people reading this, if i happen to disappear after friday, do inform my parents bout it k.
after gym, went back to chris' house for dinner. it was quite a last minute decision to go over to his house for dinner so auntie jackie had to go ntuc to shop for groceries. helped out at the kitchen, peeled prawns and remove the intestines. chris was helping me and at first we had trouble finding the intestines. quite fun. ivan was trying to cut the onions into cubes. u know when it comes to cooking, girls are better but guys are more detailed. i am going to learn how to cook from my mum soon. yeah!! it will be more than just cup noodles and rice. heh
left the chia's house at around 9pm, then went back to my house with ivan. joel came later. was chatting with ivan since joel was busy getting thrashed at smackdown2. he used the rock vs some woman in iron bras and g strings. it was really entertaining looking at how he played the game. its really nice talking to ivan after like erm weeks. can't remember how long though. cool to have a friend like him.
slept around 2am and according to him, i sleep talk. haha. something new but i find it really interesting. ivan went home to settle some stuff and i was left with joel. oh no! haaa. went to church early to plan the discussion questions. i slept at the sofa upstairs upon finishing what i needed to do. had like 40 mins nap. shiok. went downstairs and saw seth. crapped with him abit and went into the sanctuary cuz its really hot outside.
sermon was really good. i felt that i really understand God alot more and deep down inside, i know that i have only learnt the tip of an ice berg bout Him. exploring some u love is really cool. the more u know, the more u love Him. the more u love Him, the more u wanna know bout him. it goes on and on and on until u reach heaven where everything worships Him. ahhhhhh, can't wait for that.
cg time was pleasantly fun as usual. there's weren't any questions asked but i guess most of our questions were already answered. went on to talk about spiritual life and studies. good sharing and had quite a nice time praying.
after that was cgl meeting. i sort of missed the announcement because of the extended praying time. dun think we missed out tho. cgl meeting was really really good. our theme was on encouragement. felt really excited after that. let us keep ourselves focus on the church and encourage each other constantly. encouragement will help us to bond and help us to love. if everyone encourages each other, how pleasant will the church become? VERY!!!
u know what, its not easy to encourage. it takes practise. the trick is to try. the more u encourage, the better u become at encouraging others. don't believe, try doing it now!

i am like sort of not training my mage already, leaving it for amiel to help me. need to focus on my assasin. its level 25 now. rocks man!! oh, enough of maple for now. trying to complete my other rpg games from like sec2s. im only left with 1 right now, which is digimon world 3. that game is pretty retarded. am done with it already. not gonna try to complete it since its just walking here and there talking to people. and im gonna play front mission again. its about robots, fighting and strategy. not really my kind of game but to past time, anything will do.
been jogging everyday except for weekends. i think i have improved quite significantly but i might be wrong. my digital watch with stop watch gave up on me just when i was about to go jogging. oh well. it might be a good thing. just jog without thinking so much. joel (chong) gave me tips on how to improve my 2.4 timing but that will require me to go to the stadium in which i must take a bus. so troublesome. so i think i i will stick to what i have been doing. hopefully, by the end of this week, my timing can go below 10 mins. then, i should be safe. what is my timing now? i don't really know. haha.
went out with my two foldies. met at PS 1pm. knowing that maria will be late for at least 15 mins, i delibrately got out of my house at 1pm. reached there at 1.15pm. saw cheryl waiting there already, so we got the tickets for 3 and went to carrefour to buy tidbits. stuffed everything into her bag and we looked so suspicious. i remembered the time i went out with someone for a movie as well. we bought a packet of tidbits but none of us got a bag so we hid it behind our shirt and tried to walk in while he stood behind me, trying not to look so obvious. that was that. anyway, the movie was at 1.25pm and maria got here just in time. saw her waiting at the opposite side.
oh just to side track abit, im talking to joel (yong) on msn now using baby language. its quite funny. haha
yup. back to topic. cheryl called maria and told her to look up when we were directly opposite her and what she did was that she turned to the back and looked. then cheryl was like 'we are opposite u!!' but after while, we gave up giving her directions and asked her to go to the theatre straight. saw chris chia opposite too with his friends.
brother grimm was quite interesting. had alot of fairytales inprinted in the story as well. from gingerbreadman to little red riding hood, so cool!! oh ya, the first part was jack and the bean stalk. i never heard of that show before so i thought it was about jack getting the magic beans and the encounter with the giant. think i am still sufferingfrom the traumatic experience from watching 'sharkboy and lava girl'. the best show eva!!
the show lasted quite long, went to shop after that. we took alot of spastic pictures using our phones and sending it to each other. sounded quite bimbotic right, but thats what we did. ack ack!! went home around 6 and when i was at the doorstep, realised that my brother went out and so is everyone else. stucked outside, i called my dad to come back from work. in the meantime, decided to work out abit. went up and down the estate until i finished 50 levels. did another 70 pushups after that and im done. rested awhile and 5 minutes later, dad was here.
yup. tts all for now. had a long chat with chris chia this morning for like more than 2 hrs. quite cool. going to gym with him as well as amy and ivan. dunno how things gonna turn out. till then.. tata.

i feel super shitty now. y? went to play maple awhile since it was raining quite heavily and i don't feel like playing play station today. everything went on very well, in fact, i was able to sell alot of lousy scrolls away at a high price. then, i decided to do some trading business, looking out for cheap scrolls and sell it at a higher price. thats wad i did for like 3 scrolls. got 500k profit. jsut then, this lv 4 moron came to me and offer to sell me 60% wand att for 680k each. i managed to convince him to sell me at 600k for both. the market price currently is probably around 850k so ya. was really happy after we close the deal. went on to train after that. half an hour later, i was like admiring all the weapons and scrolls and then i realised that i have been con. that moron gave me a scroll for one handed axe instead of wand att. crap man! i should have checked. now i made a loss of 1 million. i had enough today alr. bleah
yesterday went out with sherwyn alden and jeremy after service. i thought the sermon was pretty appropriate for one of my friend who was apparently suffering from some kinda rejection of some sort. went to ps for lunch and later on, shopped for j kwok's present. played lan awhile since we couldn't think of anything fun to do. it was really a last resort. surprisingly, we didn't play dota, instead, played the normal map. pretty dumb but at least we managed to waste time (and abit on money too).
had to leave half way cuz im suppose to meet the tf guys at 2pm, east coast park macs. was left with like half an hour to travel there. tried to call seth to give me directions but he didn't pick up. had to turn to bryan instead. bry told me to take 36 but unfortunately, i got down at the wrong stop. had to walk like i think 3 bustops before ireached ecp. and after that, had to continue walking for another 10 mins before i got to macs. by that time, i was already quite shagged.
walked from macs to j kwok's chalet which was like at the other end. stayed there for like half an hour then dunked j kwok's into the sea. after that, walked back to the chalet to let kwok changed his underwear before going to the basketball court which was further up from macs.
didn't really want to play basketball cuz my skill was so so only. got bored after sitting there so deicded to throw some balls. when i got the 'qui gan', it became increasingly fun. managed to get balls in and in fact. i scored most of it. quite proud of myself. haha. played against j kwok and his friends. jon was there as well. he was quite slack la, so i could like steal some balls from him. we played continuously for 2 hrs. i ran alot and had a really good exercise. woo hoo!!
went off from his chalet at around 8pm after dinner at the coffeeshop. ben drove me back. was really tired by then, but i must admit that its really fun. slept around 11pm. now having back ache. hope i don't end up like joel chong. lol..
feeling much better now. shall not think bout ms anymore. whee..

tm was on the second floor today. i had quite a nice time slacking at my usual sofa place as well as along the corridor. talked to alot of people, at first it was edmund and jonathon ji. dunno y suddenly all disappeared and im left with a bunch of sec 2s and 3s. just then, bryan came and pounced on me. he was like telling me that everyone's inside the room having meeting. heh. suddenly, i remembered that there's leaders' briefing. haha. its been awhile since we last have tm.
the worship today was pretty hip. i think ian's voice changed quite a bit, for the better that is. the once upon a time nasal voice is somewhat gone. might be that he's learning from the singer from his jamming club in school. not bad!! after the worship, got a chocolate for my birthday. i didn't want to have it so i gave it to daniel loke. instead of the usual thank you, i got:
so i can get fat and die right?
wad a typical daniel loke answer. funny guy. i'm glad that he was around for mob to entertain us. after tm, went for dinner with a bunch of sec 2s and 3s + justin. we crapped abit and went to watch longest yard after having a quick dinner at a bubble tea shop just opposite long john silver. speaking of which, ian's friend call him LLJ. figure that out. its quite amusing.
yup, about the movie, its highly recommended. u won't want to miss it! its highly entertaining. i guarantee that u will laugh till erm, how bout ur mouth will cramp? oh, there's only one thing that i didn't really like, the sawatdii haa wannabes. they look hot, that is if u remove their faces and erm if they were biodegradable. ooh, but then again, it adds abit of retardedness in that show. captures the full attention of the audience. dunno how else to put it. overall, its a five star. its been awhile since i last watched a decent show. alrite, i think its time for me to go. nite people. 2 hrs later, it will be
NICOLE AND CHIA YING's BIRTHDAY (my brother's too). he won't read my blog, at least i thinks he don't. yeah!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO U!! its cool to know that u are not the only one getting older. haha.

met up with seth at 12pm to dress up for dave's wedding. we wanted to cut polka dots and paste it all over our shirts. at least we will look more 70s or rather try to look more 70s. i wore a shirt with blue stripes and jeans, same as seth. initially, he wanted to wear formal but i dissuaded him from doing that cuz it's not meant to be so formal. the scissors from chruch gave us a really hard time cutting out circles from that piece of cloth. after like 2 circles, i gave up on that idea and decided to play the piano for fun. seth joined in. i didn't know he could play, as in look at him, he don't have that 'i can play piano' look. no offense on that.
been spending alot of time with him cuz of dave's wedding. shopped together, slacked together and crapped together. overall, i really enjoyed his company. we went down to the sanctuary at 1pm to help blow the balloons. the pump is kinda useless. the efficiency rate of it is like 5 times slower than if i were to use my mouth. think i really lost touch with playing tuba. after blowing air for around 10 balloons, i got a slight headache. alvin eugene and renzi soon joined us. we blew 60 balloons altogether... sense of achievement. haha.
went for lunch up the hill after that. the horfun was pretty good but the serving was rather small. i wanted to eat laksa but i scared it will worsen my cough. moreover, the weather's pretty hot in the afternoon. had quite a long lunch. seth took a really long time to finish his food. was browsing through eugene's photos on his phone. it was both amusing and comical. he got one picture of daniel loke getting raped by his friends. he looked as tho he was totally naked but in actual fact, it was the angle that made it appear that way. i began to see why single sex school is so fun. they could do all the spastic things they want but i suppose mixed school got their own defination of fun too. oh well.
just before the wedding, all the guys and girls from tm were like busy dressing up. the guys were pretty standard. shirt and jeans with tie that hung loosely. girls on the other hand, had alot of diff variations. took photos with a couple of pple and soon after that, dave and heather came from behind of the sanctuary.
the songs that day were nice and so is the sermon preached by pastor william. heh. i enjoyed his sermon alot eventho most of it wasn't relevant to me. dinner was fantastic. i knew i had cough but i still ate the chocolate fondue!! its MMMMMMMmmmmMM goood....
crapped with vinna kris and some other girls bout the use of the snake and the flower. it was super lame and sick but to a certain extend, i think i am quite innovative. heh.
left church with ben josia j kwok and edmund to cityhall. need to meet the D6 at raffles place so i hitched a ride from ben. i thought i would be really early but ended up 20 mins late because ben took alot of detours. not blaming him..
the D6 celebrated my brithday for me and ya, bought 3 slices of cake. so cool. took a cab home from there. midnight charge!! reached home around 1am, msg seth happy birthday and went to slp.
on sunday, attended first service, went to meet seth sherwyn and eliel at the lan shop with alden and justin. had lunch, played lan again and went home. just before we went back, i tried to jack seth but aim wrongly. i think i need more training. heh
took a cab with alvin and alden, decided to go bry house for a swim. on the way there, it rained quite heavily. in spite of that, we didn't change our destination. when to his house to play cards first since we couldn't swim in that weather. after playing like 4-5 rounds of dai di, wrapped popiah to eat. that was my first time wrapping and it was rather difficult. the skin is too soft la. found it really hard to eat so i decided to unwrap it and use fork and spoon instead.
went to swim only at like 6. swam till 9pm. just the 3 of us, we had a confession time which lasted for an hour. swimming at night really rocks. could stay there longer if it weren't for bry's parents.
alden wanted to go heartland mall after that but i was quite tired so i went home. became sick after that which lasted for 2 days. feeling much better now so i finally decided to blog.

today was fantastic. went out with the mob guys to sort of celebrate my birthday. i was really glad because this is the first time i don't have to organise anything. as in last time when we have like any stayovers or wadsoever, i will be the one to organise. yup, so i felt really special.
we met at around 4pm outside x box. played fifa street. actually i don't like this kinda sports game but it turned out to be really fun. i really don't mind losing to people like the mob guys because whenever i play with them, there's no pressure involve. as in we play for the sake of playing and not play to win. anyway, started off playing with chris against eliel and dan. we kinda owned the game. the scores were as follow:
5-3
0-5
5-0
5-2
as u can see, we won every match except for one. there were stakes of 30 pushups per game as of the third game. thats means that eliel and dan owe us 60 push ups. being nice, we cut down the pumping to 30 only. it was meant to be a joke so they didn't do the full 30.
afterwhich, we decided to change team. so it was the match against our buddies. i was with dan again chris and eliel. we lost by 10-6, which wasn't so bad la. haha. our last game, the most exciting one was between eliel and i vs dan and chris. it was streeful. at first my team were leading by 2 points. during the 3rd last goal, the score was still 9-6. we intended to use the final charge to win the game but unfortunately we missed. it was losing all the way after that. at the end of the game, we lost by 1 point. overall, we had an awesome time there.
after gaming, went to bishan to eat at cafe cartel. dan and eliel wanted to go to the toilet first. so both chris and i went to chope seats first. we couldn't find any cushion seats so i was like suggesting that we walk one round j8 before coming back for dinner. on our way out, i saw amy and christina sitting at the tables under the escalator. in my mind i was like 'what a coincedence'. it was only after amy invited me to sit down before i realised what was happening. the guys actually invited the whole team down to celebrate for me. i was really touched, as in really. my heart was smiling all the time. i don't think they could tell because as much as im happy, i got a headache. the guys then pass me my present, wrapped in toilet paper. remember i mentioned earlier on that eliel and dan went to the toilet? yup... i thought that was rather creative. ooh, i just tried wearing the shirt. it fits me perfectly. its really nice and erm brown. ahah. nicole bought me a nice photo frame looking thing which was really cute. im really pleased with it.
after dinner, we went shopping for one hour before going home. yup. thats bout it. im HAPPY!! think the mob team 2004 really rocks. love u all.. muack!! special thanks especially to the guys for like making this a complete surprise. i knew something was up but ya, just dunno what.

yesterday had a stayover at amiel's house. it wasn't as fun as last time but overall, i guess its not too shabby. met bryan and jeremy at bry's house first. we wanted to swim there before going to amiel's house but amiel convinced us to go to his house straight. as we were flagging for a cab, 2 cabs went pass us and drove towards some frigging adults who didn't even bother to apologise for stealing our cab. then came the third one who happened to be a christian as well. i chat with him awhile, just to get into his good books. i don't think i'm allowed to eat in the cab so this is a good way to just enable me to do that. after assuring the uncle that i will definitely not drop anything, he sort of agreed.
from serangoon to bukit timah, uncle shared about his two children and also the difference between the children of this generation and the generation of his time. i have to admit that most of the time i wasn't paying attention to him, partly because i was too engrossed filling up my stomach.
at amiel's house, he was estatic to see us. almost instantaneously, bry and jem got engaged, not each other but the x box. as i had nothing to do, i went to play maple. there wasn't any serious stuff to do, so i just bump around, instead of serious training. spent most of the time playing game until around 3pm, in which we went to swim. pushed the slide into the pool and used that as a sun tanning bench. not very useful but still, it was retardedly fun.
soon after, clarice and minghui came. it was quite interesting to have them around. didn't really have a chance to talk to them much, especially minghui until that day. we crapped quite abit, even more so after bryan left. had dinner together and played DDR for another hour or so. before that, we were actually trying out this game call X MEN something something. i totally owned the game with merely 2 skills (ranged). it was quite spastic and at the same time, self fulfilling. can't find a better word than that..
when bry came back from his prac, we were back to gaming and guess what, it went on till like 3am before we decided to play cards, which lasted for 2 hrs. slept after that and woke up at 10,30am. had a really nice sleep that night with no dreams. that is something really rare for me. amiel had dental appointment that day that's y we needed to wake up earlier. however after breakfast, his auntie told us that she changed the appointment to this friday so ya, woke up earlier for nothing. played cards cuz we were kinda sick of playing coms in pairs. when off soon after that.
while jem and bryan go home, i went to meet dan and chris at woodlands library. they studied their stuff while i read my book. i felt a certain sense of achievement upon completing a total of less than 70 pages in like 4-5 hrs. eliel couldn't make it as he had stuff to do at home. quite disappointed but nevertheless, it was still enjoyable (it would be better with him tho). saw ian studying with his group of friends. found out his new nickname which was rather amusing. its kinda like a private joke now. oh and just before we left the place, for some unknown reasons, we started talking bout zoe tay. she appeared in some magazines quite awhile back after she gave birth to a son. something bout having alot of excess milk. then chris was commenting that since she has so much milk, might as well sell it. afterall, its branded. TAY SUSU (susu means milk in malay and tay is her surname). after saying that, daniel couldn't stop frowning. it was only a few minutes of continuous crapping till we realised that he was thinking in terms of like selling milk in cartons to consumers, something like HL milk. HAHAHA
it was about 6 that we left the place to yishun for a movie with tsura, minus chris. the 3 of us went to watch red eye which turned out to be pretty nice. throughout the show, there was this group of girls that were highly affected by the story plot. they created a deeper atmosphere for us by making alot of sound effects like screaming for example. even after the show, on the way out, as in from the exit of the theatre, they laughed hysterically (and loudly) all the way to the exit of the building. dang good stamina. that's all for this 2 days. a few more days before i start my training, that is when the one week hol ends. 3 more days left. tml going out with the mob guys again. whee..

for centuries, man tried to get out of this aging process. not once did anyone managed to do so. i guess we just got to learn how to make the best out of it if we have to undergo it. somehow, this is what i will carry with me when i'm in NS in a month's time. just had sprite with abit of gin. it rocks man. my family's way of celebrating my birthday this year. all four of us, come together and have fun by simply being beside each other, love and warmth surrounding us.
birthday in my point of view, is a day of thanksgiving. thanking my mum for bearing all the pain during labour, thanking my dad for connecting with her, thanking God for creating me. the whole month should be dedicated to God, and that is exactly what i am going to do, a month of journalling and longer QT hours. i hope that people i know will do the same as well. we should seize every opportunity to help us to seek God, motivation created just to love him more!
went out with the bus gang for a movie at 12pm. i was the last to arrive. actually i intended to meet bryan earlier but he didn't want to go so ya. i slacked at home until i lost track of time and went late for 10 mins. such things always happen. when u are in a rush, the bus doesn't cooperate. when u are too early, the bus will delibrately come in a really short time.
at toa payoh, saw ivan goh with them as well. it was a pleasant surprise la. the more the merrier! we were deciding on either red eye (1 plus time slot) and sharkboy and lava girl (12.30 timeslot). amiel sort of gave the verdict and ya, we followed. he thinks that sharkboy is cute and thus, we couldn't refuse his urges to support his idol. jessica alba is going to have another movie coming up. she's not as hot as when she was dancing in 'honey'. oh well, i still love her. WHOO HOO.
the movie was kinda interesting. it was 3D, so we had to wear the color specs to feel the effect of it. the color specs spoiled the vision and i didn't exactly like the feeling of seeing 2 colors only. throughout the show, i tried my best to appreciate what kiddies would like eventhough its suppose to be my 20th birthday. yes, im 20. actually its not that bad la. 20 is still not 21 so ya.
i don't really understand the story plot and alot of other details. ooh, and u know what, lava girl ain't really lava girl. she's far more important, far more useful. most stunning of all, she's more than just fire or lava, she's the *****. overall, i think the show is worth watching if u have nothing to do. do something different for once, you realise that u gain something that u never expect. trust me on that ya!
went to meet my cg members after that at heerens, sakae sushi. like before, i was the last to arrive (not trying to act big btw). when i got there, the 4 hungry ghosts were already devouring the food that is before them. the least i could do was to join them. heh. after 53 plates, we were almost gone. took quite a long break before requesting for the dessert and fruits. in the end, we finished up like 73 plates. i really enjoyed my time with them, as in i've been like organising so many outings for people. once in awhile, good to have people doing the job for u. as in i really feel appreciated. love my cg lots. they did everything nicely behind my back, except for when sarah and gloria asked me to close my eyes halfway through lunch. i thought that was really funny. in fact, i panicked when i thought they bought me cake. felt pregnant after all that food. i could see my bulging stomach. sarah saw that too. :P
anyway, thanks for all those who remembered my birthday. there are bound to have friends that forget ur birthday but i realised that eventho they forget, it doesn't mean that they don't treasure u or forget about u. that thought came to me when i sort of remembered that i forgot bout edwin's quite awhile back. that doesn't mean anything wad. as in i know when is his birthday, just that on that day itself, it doesn't cross my mind. i know its my bad that i didn't make an effort to remind myself. hmm, guess birthday is just another day.

i have been enjoying life so far, so much so that it makes me want to get to the next phase of my life which hopefully slow down the rotting process of my overall well-being. being subjected to alot of rest and free time, i have so far cultivated a bag full of sleepy germs that can last for weeks, before the effect of it wears of. because of this slacking, i came to realise what i want in life. free time can be pretty disastrous, it makes u think. thinking is good but thinking too much might have adverse effect on u too. well, NS might be a good start!
after having ivan around, my attitude towards NS has certainly changed quite abit. alot of times, we change without even realising it. either for the better, or for worse. a good company therefore, will definitely helps to build up your character. days of stoning at home made me realise how small one can be. we, by ourselves can really be very insignificant. our identity comprises of others as well. at the same time, we have to find an identity of our own, not of the group. i don't think alot of people will understand what i'm saying so i'll try to simplify my thoughts abit. alot of times, we try to reach for the stars. when we are able to do that, we feel happy, so much joy that we can't contain it - it overflows. if i were to be a loner, even if i got distinctions for everything but i have no one to share with, i have yet to achieve anything. this is to elaborate on the importance of having friends.
to find our identity within a group of friends, i am referring to having a mindset of ur own. everyone is a unique creation. we are made to think, act and behave differently. don't try to be somebody else just to blend in. it doesn't work that way. in the context of the body of christ, we have to find our own talents, so as to contribute effectively towards the church.
so much for the thinking. i believe life is actually very simple. 2 key words. listen and obey. i pretty much hope that my life is build upon this two principles. but we as humans, tends to complicate stuff. from simple things like love, friendship, school etc. friendships to me is by far the most important thing right now, apart from my family that is. friends encircled my life. i love and trust them, hoping to get back the same treatment. i like it when people share. in fact, that is the first criteria that i look for in a friend. being there with me is cool but u know, our friends are not God. he/she is not omni present. over the years, i've learnt not to count on it so much. for sharing, it is a must. yes i do believe that we have to have some privacy of our own, that is to make friendship more interesting. however, the closeness u can get in a friendship is close related to how much privacy u keep for urself. i shan't elaborate too much on that as it is self explainatory. another important factor to determine the closeness will be mutual love language. i think right now, it should be pretty obvious what my love language is, namely physical touch and quality time. i would naturally be more attracted to people who are willing to spend more time with me and have some physical contacts.. oh wait, that sounded quite wrong. physical contact is something that is quite natural. either u have it or u don't. as for quality time, spend more time with me and i will be ur good friend. thats bout it i guess. apart from this two, there's the words of affirmation and gifts. words of affirmation refers to encouragement and gift is giving presents. nothing simplier than that. the trick to get close to pple fast is by knowing the love language of ur friend. after which, things will flow nicely.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
went out with ivan today since he stayed over last night. we went to play basketball along with jon joel and co. played till 9 plus then we went for supper at the prata house nearby. food was great. mmm hmmm.. the food with have been better if it were hot!
went back, bathed, talked to ivan till quite late. woke up really late too, talked again and went to town area for gym. the place is really nice. worked out for less than an hour and there was this booming voice that called me all the way to the pool. swam abit and tanned all the way. in the midst of all these activities, i continued to talk to ivan. don't be surprised how much guys can talk. it is endless and btw, we weren't bitching most of the time. amy sort of told the cg that guys bitched more but i think its more like we are equal. had lunch there. i ordered the mee goreng which turned out to be really nice. ivan ordered pasta with lots of cheese. dunno how he survived. haha.
went shopping after that. i wanted to spend some money, but was unable to find anything nice enough to capture my attention. ivan bought this nice pair of jeans. walked around, settled down for a drink and walked all the way to parklane, where i took bus home while he walked back. overall, it was rather interesting. heh. i have pimples on face, injuries on my foot, hair loss from my scalp. what more can i ask? armygonnarockmyhotbodswithallthoseniceabsthatwillnotrotevenwheniwearsmellysocks.
that doesn't really make sense but at least it rhymes. haha. S T O N E D ! !

talked to zech until 5am yesterday. woke up only at 12pm, 7 hrs of sleep. not too bad right. i played abit of maple, cuz i needed to check the price of some items to sell. some pple came to KS and me guess what, got 2 scrolls after hitting like 2 green mushrooms. not bad eh. got 100% pet scroll to increase the speed by 1. think pple can get it from shop but i dunno how much. hahah..
went for a swim at 1pm since my com hanged halfway when i was playing. the weather was really nice. like how ivan described the feeling of the water molecules get in contact with the body. yeah, it felt nice. tried to swim a few laps then suddenly my back started hurting so decided not to push myself further. just dipped in the pool for almost an hour, trying to tan abit and then i went for a jog at the stadium beside the swimming pool.
jogging after swimming was pretty dumb. should do that the other way round but i decided not to since i dun feel like bathing in the public toilet at the swimming pool after amy told me bout what happened to her friend at the gym toilet. the weather makes jogging so much more undesirable. i gave up after finishing 2.4km. suppose to do like 5 times for 800m at 3.15mins but i couldn't, so ya. had to stop after 3 sets. actually i don't even haf a stopwatch la so dunno how long i ran. but the first time should be below 3.15. haha. at the second one, think i dropped to 5mins alr. the third set is even better. finished 400m, rest abit, then sprinted for one whole round.
was really tired after that. decided not to do pushups already, so i went to the minimart to get a drink. the indian had serious attitude problem. if i weren't that thirsty, would have stopped myself from getting the drink. i was at the counter trying to give him the money while he was talking on the phone, looked at me, and looked away. so i just stared at him for awhile. after that another customer came in. think the indian guy knows him. put down the phone and talked to that customer. i pushed the money to him for the second time. he hesitated before taking the money. whats his problem la!!
i was rather sticky and all, lazy to walk home, so took a bus. went to bathe and thats when i decided to really relax. previously my mum got me alot of metro stuff and left it in the toilet so i began to explore all of them. first it was the rejuvenating shampoo with abit of mint, then i tried the body exfoliating lotion which supposingly will smoothen my skin. it has alot of green pebbles kinda stuff that will remove my dead cells or dunno what la. indeed after i washed it off, my skin felt smoother but at the same time, i think its because of the contrast from the pebbles. applied the hair treatment simply because my hair was really rough due to the contact with chlorine at the swimming pool. after bathing, applied after sun lotion with aloe vera essense. its really cooling. prepared my own lunch with soup. had a cup of coca cola with ice and went in to my room to read.after dinner im going to put on a cool mask. haha. dang METRO, but the feeling is really nice. i shall go to a spa soon with the voucher from my mum. must really enjoy myself before going NS. wahahaha. this will be my first and my last time. i dun really like the exfoliating crap, diff to wash it off.
i have a nice tan now. haha... feeling gay??!! lol

im quite excited as the enlistment day is drawing near. like what joel call me today, recruit leong!! i am going to be officially demoted from the oh-so-high-ranking civilian to recruit, slave of the nation. currently, i'm trying to enjoy as much as possible and at the same time, nened to improve my fitness level too. its quite difficult to balance both of this at the same time since as much i tried to psycho myself into believing that jogging alone is fun, its not exactly working. just like today, came home around 6.30pm. could have gone for a short half an hour jog around the neighbourhood but my body told me that i am still suffering from the cramps after the gyming on friday. lets start from what happened in the morning.
met christine to collect our salary from the comex show, as well as the 5 weeks contract. my boss gave me a reduction of $90 because she made a loss from the shop that i was working at. since there were 2 full timers and one part timer (which happens to be me), they decided to cut my salary to reduce the losses. i didn't bother to argue since it wouldn't solved anything and there's literally nothing i can do to get back the money i deserve. thought of the possible reasons, things like:
u are still young, go for the experience..
u should think of the company too..
i am very reasonable.. etc
like whatever man!! anyway, went for lunch with christine after that at macs. it was quite a quick one. asked me to walk her to raffles place and then i went to chris' house to slack. played with yoda as usual then walked around the neighbourhood to look at other dogs. came back and played the com. challenged chris on some funny games found on www.ebaumsworld.com. played until it was time to meet ivan and amy at yio chu kang gym. it was nice working out with them. ivan was obviously the fittest of all, could see all the well defined muscles on his body. he looks really busty. wahahaha. he's not going to read this post until friday so till then, i should still be alive. people reading this, if i happen to disappear after friday, do inform my parents bout it k.
after gym, went back to chris' house for dinner. it was quite a last minute decision to go over to his house for dinner so auntie jackie had to go ntuc to shop for groceries. helped out at the kitchen, peeled prawns and remove the intestines. chris was helping me and at first we had trouble finding the intestines. quite fun. ivan was trying to cut the onions into cubes. u know when it comes to cooking, girls are better but guys are more detailed. i am going to learn how to cook from my mum soon. yeah!! it will be more than just cup noodles and rice. heh
left the chia's house at around 9pm, then went back to my house with ivan. joel came later. was chatting with ivan since joel was busy getting thrashed at smackdown2. he used the rock vs some woman in iron bras and g strings. it was really entertaining looking at how he played the game. its really nice talking to ivan after like erm weeks. can't remember how long though. cool to have a friend like him.
slept around 2am and according to him, i sleep talk. haha. something new but i find it really interesting. ivan went home to settle some stuff and i was left with joel. oh no! haaa. went to church early to plan the discussion questions. i slept at the sofa upstairs upon finishing what i needed to do. had like 40 mins nap. shiok. went downstairs and saw seth. crapped with him abit and went into the sanctuary cuz its really hot outside.
sermon was really good. i felt that i really understand God alot more and deep down inside, i know that i have only learnt the tip of an ice berg bout Him. exploring some u love is really cool. the more u know, the more u love Him. the more u love Him, the more u wanna know bout him. it goes on and on and on until u reach heaven where everything worships Him. ahhhhhh, can't wait for that.
cg time was pleasantly fun as usual. there's weren't any questions asked but i guess most of our questions were already answered. went on to talk about spiritual life and studies. good sharing and had quite a nice time praying.
after that was cgl meeting. i sort of missed the announcement because of the extended praying time. dun think we missed out tho. cgl meeting was really really good. our theme was on encouragement. felt really excited after that. let us keep ourselves focus on the church and encourage each other constantly. encouragement will help us to bond and help us to love. if everyone encourages each other, how pleasant will the church become? VERY!!!
u know what, its not easy to encourage. it takes practise. the trick is to try. the more u encourage, the better u become at encouraging others. don't believe, try doing it now!

i am like sort of not training my mage already, leaving it for amiel to help me. need to focus on my assasin. its level 25 now. rocks man!! oh, enough of maple for now. trying to complete my other rpg games from like sec2s. im only left with 1 right now, which is digimon world 3. that game is pretty retarded. am done with it already. not gonna try to complete it since its just walking here and there talking to people. and im gonna play front mission again. its about robots, fighting and strategy. not really my kind of game but to past time, anything will do.
been jogging everyday except for weekends. i think i have improved quite significantly but i might be wrong. my digital watch with stop watch gave up on me just when i was about to go jogging. oh well. it might be a good thing. just jog without thinking so much. joel (chong) gave me tips on how to improve my 2.4 timing but that will require me to go to the stadium in which i must take a bus. so troublesome. so i think i i will stick to what i have been doing. hopefully, by the end of this week, my timing can go below 10 mins. then, i should be safe. what is my timing now? i don't really know. haha.
went out with my two foldies. met at PS 1pm. knowing that maria will be late for at least 15 mins, i delibrately got out of my house at 1pm. reached there at 1.15pm. saw cheryl waiting there already, so we got the tickets for 3 and went to carrefour to buy tidbits. stuffed everything into her bag and we looked so suspicious. i remembered the time i went out with someone for a movie as well. we bought a packet of tidbits but none of us got a bag so we hid it behind our shirt and tried to walk in while he stood behind me, trying not to look so obvious. that was that. anyway, the movie was at 1.25pm and maria got here just in time. saw her waiting at the opposite side.
oh just to side track abit, im talking to joel (yong) on msn now using baby language. its quite funny. haha
yup. back to topic. cheryl called maria and told her to look up when we were directly opposite her and what she did was that she turned to the back and looked. then cheryl was like 'we are opposite u!!' but after while, we gave up giving her directions and asked her to go to the theatre straight. saw chris chia opposite too with his friends.
brother grimm was quite interesting. had alot of fairytales inprinted in the story as well. from gingerbreadman to little red riding hood, so cool!! oh ya, the first part was jack and the bean stalk. i never heard of that show before so i thought it was about jack getting the magic beans and the encounter with the giant. think i am still sufferingfrom the traumatic experience from watching 'sharkboy and lava girl'. the best show eva!!
the show lasted quite long, went to shop after that. we took alot of spastic pictures using our phones and sending it to each other. sounded quite bimbotic right, but thats what we did. ack ack!! went home around 6 and when i was at the doorstep, realised that my brother went out and so is everyone else. stucked outside, i called my dad to come back from work. in the meantime, decided to work out abit. went up and down the estate until i finished 50 levels. did another 70 pushups after that and im done. rested awhile and 5 minutes later, dad was here.
yup. tts all for now. had a long chat with chris chia this morning for like more than 2 hrs. quite cool. going to gym with him as well as amy and ivan. dunno how things gonna turn out. till then.. tata.

i feel super shitty now. y? went to play maple awhile since it was raining quite heavily and i don't feel like playing play station today. everything went on very well, in fact, i was able to sell alot of lousy scrolls away at a high price. then, i decided to do some trading business, looking out for cheap scrolls and sell it at a higher price. thats wad i did for like 3 scrolls. got 500k profit. jsut then, this lv 4 moron came to me and offer to sell me 60% wand att for 680k each. i managed to convince him to sell me at 600k for both. the market price currently is probably around 850k so ya. was really happy after we close the deal. went on to train after that. half an hour later, i was like admiring all the weapons and scrolls and then i realised that i have been con. that moron gave me a scroll for one handed axe instead of wand att. crap man! i should have checked. now i made a loss of 1 million. i had enough today alr. bleah
yesterday went out with sherwyn alden and jeremy after service. i thought the sermon was pretty appropriate for one of my friend who was apparently suffering from some kinda rejection of some sort. went to ps for lunch and later on, shopped for j kwok's present. played lan awhile since we couldn't think of anything fun to do. it was really a last resort. surprisingly, we didn't play dota, instead, played the normal map. pretty dumb but at least we managed to waste time (and abit on money too).
had to leave half way cuz im suppose to meet the tf guys at 2pm, east coast park macs. was left with like half an hour to travel there. tried to call seth to give me directions but he didn't pick up. had to turn to bryan instead. bry told me to take 36 but unfortunately, i got down at the wrong stop. had to walk like i think 3 bustops before ireached ecp. and after that, had to continue walking for another 10 mins before i got to macs. by that time, i was already quite shagged.
walked from macs to j kwok's chalet which was like at the other end. stayed there for like half an hour then dunked j kwok's into the sea. after that, walked back to the chalet to let kwok changed his underwear before going to the basketball court which was further up from macs.
didn't really want to play basketball cuz my skill was so so only. got bored after sitting there so deicded to throw some balls. when i got the 'qui gan', it became increasingly fun. managed to get balls in and in fact. i scored most of it. quite proud of myself. haha. played against j kwok and his friends. jon was there as well. he was quite slack la, so i could like steal some balls from him. we played continuously for 2 hrs. i ran alot and had a really good exercise. woo hoo!!
went off from his chalet at around 8pm after dinner at the coffeeshop. ben drove me back. was really tired by then, but i must admit that its really fun. slept around 11pm. now having back ache. hope i don't end up like joel chong. lol..
feeling much better now. shall not think bout ms anymore. whee..

tm was on the second floor today. i had quite a nice time slacking at my usual sofa place as well as along the corridor. talked to alot of people, at first it was edmund and jonathon ji. dunno y suddenly all disappeared and im left with a bunch of sec 2s and 3s. just then, bryan came and pounced on me. he was like telling me that everyone's inside the room having meeting. heh. suddenly, i remembered that there's leaders' briefing. haha. its been awhile since we last have tm.
the worship today was pretty hip. i think ian's voice changed quite a bit, for the better that is. the once upon a time nasal voice is somewhat gone. might be that he's learning from the singer from his jamming club in school. not bad!! after the worship, got a chocolate for my birthday. i didn't want to have it so i gave it to daniel loke. instead of the usual thank you, i got:
so i can get fat and die right?
wad a typical daniel loke answer. funny guy. i'm glad that he was around for mob to entertain us. after tm, went for dinner with a bunch of sec 2s and 3s + justin. we crapped abit and went to watch longest yard after having a quick dinner at a bubble tea shop just opposite long john silver. speaking of which, ian's friend call him LLJ. figure that out. its quite amusing.
yup, about the movie, its highly recommended. u won't want to miss it! its highly entertaining. i guarantee that u will laugh till erm, how bout ur mouth will cramp? oh, there's only one thing that i didn't really like, the sawatdii haa wannabes. they look hot, that is if u remove their faces and erm if they were biodegradable. ooh, but then again, it adds abit of retardedness in that show. captures the full attention of the audience. dunno how else to put it. overall, its a five star. its been awhile since i last watched a decent show. alrite, i think its time for me to go. nite people. 2 hrs later, it will be
NICOLE AND CHIA YING's BIRTHDAY (my brother's too). he won't read my blog, at least i thinks he don't. yeah!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO U!! its cool to know that u are not the only one getting older. haha.

met up with seth at 12pm to dress up for dave's wedding. we wanted to cut polka dots and paste it all over our shirts. at least we will look more 70s or rather try to look more 70s. i wore a shirt with blue stripes and jeans, same as seth. initially, he wanted to wear formal but i dissuaded him from doing that cuz it's not meant to be so formal. the scissors from chruch gave us a really hard time cutting out circles from that piece of cloth. after like 2 circles, i gave up on that idea and decided to play the piano for fun. seth joined in. i didn't know he could play, as in look at him, he don't have that 'i can play piano' look. no offense on that.
been spending alot of time with him cuz of dave's wedding. shopped together, slacked together and crapped together. overall, i really enjoyed his company. we went down to the sanctuary at 1pm to help blow the balloons. the pump is kinda useless. the efficiency rate of it is like 5 times slower than if i were to use my mouth. think i really lost touch with playing tuba. after blowing air for around 10 balloons, i got a slight headache. alvin eugene and renzi soon joined us. we blew 60 balloons altogether... sense of achievement. haha.
went for lunch up the hill after that. the horfun was pretty good but the serving was rather small. i wanted to eat laksa but i scared it will worsen my cough. moreover, the weather's pretty hot in the afternoon. had quite a long lunch. seth took a really long time to finish his food. was browsing through eugene's photos on his phone. it was both amusing and comical. he got one picture of daniel loke getting raped by his friends. he looked as tho he was totally naked but in actual fact, it was the angle that made it appear that way. i began to see why single sex school is so fun. they could do all the spastic things they want but i suppose mixed school got their own defination of fun too. oh well.
just before the wedding, all the guys and girls from tm were like busy dressing up. the guys were pretty standard. shirt and jeans with tie that hung loosely. girls on the other hand, had alot of diff variations. took photos with a couple of pple and soon after that, dave and heather came from behind of the sanctuary.
the songs that day were nice and so is the sermon preached by pastor william. heh. i enjoyed his sermon alot eventho most of it wasn't relevant to me. dinner was fantastic. i knew i had cough but i still ate the chocolate fondue!! its MMMMMMMmmmmMM goood....
crapped with vinna kris and some other girls bout the use of the snake and the flower. it was super lame and sick but to a certain extend, i think i am quite innovative. heh.
left church with ben josia j kwok and edmund to cityhall. need to meet the D6 at raffles place so i hitched a ride from ben. i thought i would be really early but ended up 20 mins late because ben took alot of detours. not blaming him..
the D6 celebrated my brithday for me and ya, bought 3 slices of cake. so cool. took a cab home from there. midnight charge!! reached home around 1am, msg seth happy birthday and went to slp.
on sunday, attended first service, went to meet seth sherwyn and eliel at the lan shop with alden and justin. had lunch, played lan again and went home. just before we went back, i tried to jack seth but aim wrongly. i think i need more training. heh
took a cab with alvin and alden, decided to go bry house for a swim. on the way there, it rained quite heavily. in spite of that, we didn't change our destination. when to his house to play cards first since we couldn't swim in that weather. after playing like 4-5 rounds of dai di, wrapped popiah to eat. that was my first time wrapping and it was rather difficult. the skin is too soft la. found it really hard to eat so i decided to unwrap it and use fork and spoon instead.
went to swim only at like 6. swam till 9pm. just the 3 of us, we had a confession time which lasted for an hour. swimming at night really rocks. could stay there longer if it weren't for bry's parents.
alden wanted to go heartland mall after that but i was quite tired so i went home. became sick after that which lasted for 2 days. feeling much better now so i finally decided to blog.

today was fantastic. went out with the mob guys to sort of celebrate my birthday. i was really glad because this is the first time i don't have to organise anything. as in last time when we have like any stayovers or wadsoever, i will be the one to organise. yup, so i felt really special.
we met at around 4pm outside x box. played fifa street. actually i don't like this kinda sports game but it turned out to be really fun. i really don't mind losing to people like the mob guys because whenever i play with them, there's no pressure involve. as in we play for the sake of playing and not play to win. anyway, started off playing with chris against eliel and dan. we kinda owned the game. the scores were as follow:
5-3
0-5
5-0
5-2
as u can see, we won every match except for one. there were stakes of 30 pushups per game as of the third game. thats means that eliel and dan owe us 60 push ups. being nice, we cut down the pumping to 30 only. it was meant to be a joke so they didn't do the full 30.
afterwhich, we decided to change team. so it was the match against our buddies. i was with dan again chris and eliel. we lost by 10-6, which wasn't so bad la. haha. our last game, the most exciting one was between eliel and i vs dan and chris. it was streeful. at first my team were leading by 2 points. during the 3rd last goal, the score was still 9-6. we intended to use the final charge to win the game but unfortunately we missed. it was losing all the way after that. at the end of the game, we lost by 1 point. overall, we had an awesome time there.
after gaming, went to bishan to eat at cafe cartel. dan and eliel wanted to go to the toilet first. so both chris and i went to chope seats first. we couldn't find any cushion seats so i was like suggesting that we walk one round j8 before coming back for dinner. on our way out, i saw amy and christina sitting at the tables under the escalator. in my mind i was like 'what a coincedence'. it was only after amy invited me to sit down before i realised what was happening. the guys actually invited the whole team down to celebrate for me. i was really touched, as in really. my heart was smiling all the time. i don't think they could tell because as much as im happy, i got a headache. the guys then pass me my present, wrapped in toilet paper. remember i mentioned earlier on that eliel and dan went to the toilet? yup... i thought that was rather creative. ooh, i just tried wearing the shirt. it fits me perfectly. its really nice and erm brown. ahah. nicole bought me a nice photo frame looking thing which was really cute. im really pleased with it.
after dinner, we went shopping for one hour before going home. yup. thats bout it. im HAPPY!! think the mob team 2004 really rocks. love u all.. muack!! special thanks especially to the guys for like making this a complete surprise. i knew something was up but ya, just dunno what.

yesterday had a stayover at amiel's house. it wasn't as fun as last time but overall, i guess its not too shabby. met bryan and jeremy at bry's house first. we wanted to swim there before going to amiel's house but amiel convinced us to go to his house straight. as we were flagging for a cab, 2 cabs went pass us and drove towards some frigging adults who didn't even bother to apologise for stealing our cab. then came the third one who happened to be a christian as well. i chat with him awhile, just to get into his good books. i don't think i'm allowed to eat in the cab so this is a good way to just enable me to do that. after assuring the uncle that i will definitely not drop anything, he sort of agreed.
from serangoon to bukit timah, uncle shared about his two children and also the difference between the children of this generation and the generation of his time. i have to admit that most of the time i wasn't paying attention to him, partly because i was too engrossed filling up my stomach.
at amiel's house, he was estatic to see us. almost instantaneously, bry and jem got engaged, not each other but the x box. as i had nothing to do, i went to play maple. there wasn't any serious stuff to do, so i just bump around, instead of serious training. spent most of the time playing game until around 3pm, in which we went to swim. pushed the slide into the pool and used that as a sun tanning bench. not very useful but still, it was retardedly fun.
soon after, clarice and minghui came. it was quite interesting to have them around. didn't really have a chance to talk to them much, especially minghui until that day. we crapped quite abit, even more so after bryan left. had dinner together and played DDR for another hour or so. before that, we were actually trying out this game call X MEN something something. i totally owned the game with merely 2 skills (ranged). it was quite spastic and at the same time, self fulfilling. can't find a better word than that..
when bry came back from his prac, we were back to gaming and guess what, it went on till like 3am before we decided to play cards, which lasted for 2 hrs. slept after that and woke up at 10,30am. had a really nice sleep that night with no dreams. that is something really rare for me. amiel had dental appointment that day that's y we needed to wake up earlier. however after breakfast, his auntie told us that she changed the appointment to this friday so ya, woke up earlier for nothing. played cards cuz we were kinda sick of playing coms in pairs. when off soon after that.
while jem and bryan go home, i went to meet dan and chris at woodlands library. they studied their stuff while i read my book. i felt a certain sense of achievement upon completing a total of less than 70 pages in like 4-5 hrs. eliel couldn't make it as he had stuff to do at home. quite disappointed but nevertheless, it was still enjoyable (it would be better with him tho). saw ian studying with his group of friends. found out his new nickname which was rather amusing. its kinda like a private joke now. oh and just before we left the place, for some unknown reasons, we started talking bout zoe tay. she appeared in some magazines quite awhile back after she gave birth to a son. something bout having alot of excess milk. then chris was commenting that since she has so much milk, might as well sell it. afterall, its branded. TAY SUSU (susu means milk in malay and tay is her surname). after saying that, daniel couldn't stop frowning. it was only a few minutes of continuous crapping till we realised that he was thinking in terms of like selling milk in cartons to consumers, something like HL milk. HAHAHA
it was about 6 that we left the place to yishun for a movie with tsura, minus chris. the 3 of us went to watch red eye which turned out to be pretty nice. throughout the show, there was this group of girls that were highly affected by the story plot. they created a deeper atmosphere for us by making alot of sound effects like screaming for example. even after the show, on the way out, as in from the exit of the theatre, they laughed hysterically (and loudly) all the way to the exit of the building. dang good stamina. that's all for this 2 days. a few more days before i start my training, that is when the one week hol ends. 3 more days left. tml going out with the mob guys again. whee..

for centuries, man tried to get out of this aging process. not once did anyone managed to do so. i guess we just got to learn how to make the best out of it if we have to undergo it. somehow, this is what i will carry with me when i'm in NS in a month's time. just had sprite with abit of gin. it rocks man. my family's way of celebrating my birthday this year. all four of us, come together and have fun by simply being beside each other, love and warmth surrounding us.
birthday in my point of view, is a day of thanksgiving. thanking my mum for bearing all the pain during labour, thanking my dad for connecting with her, thanking God for creating me. the whole month should be dedicated to God, and that is exactly what i am going to do, a month of journalling and longer QT hours. i hope that people i know will do the same as well. we should seize every opportunity to help us to seek God, motivation created just to love him more!
went out with the bus gang for a movie at 12pm. i was the last to arrive. actually i intended to meet bryan earlier but he didn't want to go so ya. i slacked at home until i lost track of time and went late for 10 mins. such things always happen. when u are in a rush, the bus doesn't cooperate. when u are too early, the bus will delibrately come in a really short time.
at toa payoh, saw ivan goh with them as well. it was a pleasant surprise la. the more the merrier! we were deciding on either red eye (1 plus time slot) and sharkboy and lava girl (12.30 timeslot). amiel sort of gave the verdict and ya, we followed. he thinks that sharkboy is cute and thus, we couldn't refuse his urges to support his idol. jessica alba is going to have another movie coming up. she's not as hot as when she was dancing in 'honey'. oh well, i still love her. WHOO HOO.
the movie was kinda interesting. it was 3D, so we had to wear the color specs to feel the effect of it. the color specs spoiled the vision and i didn't exactly like the feeling of seeing 2 colors only. throughout the show, i tried my best to appreciate what kiddies would like eventhough its suppose to be my 20th birthday. yes, im 20. actually its not that bad la. 20 is still not 21 so ya.
i don't really understand the story plot and alot of other details. ooh, and u know what, lava girl ain't really lava girl. she's far more important, far more useful. most stunning of all, she's more than just fire or lava, she's the *****. overall, i think the show is worth watching if u have nothing to do. do something different for once, you realise that u gain something that u never expect. trust me on that ya!
went to meet my cg members after that at heerens, sakae sushi. like before, i was the last to arrive (not trying to act big btw). when i got there, the 4 hungry ghosts were already devouring the food that is before them. the least i could do was to join them. heh. after 53 plates, we were almost gone. took quite a long break before requesting for the dessert and fruits. in the end, we finished up like 73 plates. i really enjoyed my time with them, as in i've been like organising so many outings for people. once in awhile, good to have people doing the job for u. as in i really feel appreciated. love my cg lots. they did everything nicely behind my back, except for when sarah and gloria asked me to close my eyes halfway through lunch. i thought that was really funny. in fact, i panicked when i thought they bought me cake. felt pregnant after all that food. i could see my bulging stomach. sarah saw that too. :P
anyway, thanks for all those who remembered my birthday. there are bound to have friends that forget ur birthday but i realised that eventho they forget, it doesn't mean that they don't treasure u or forget about u. that thought came to me when i sort of remembered that i forgot bout edwin's quite awhile back. that doesn't mean anything wad. as in i know when is his birthday, just that on that day itself, it doesn't cross my mind. i know its my bad that i didn't make an effort to remind myself. hmm, guess birthday is just another day.
