Goodbye

im about immigrate to a really back-dated civilisation where it can be compared to the 3rd world. allow me to elucidate it futher. crammed living conditions with 4 ppl living in a plave no more than 5m X 5m (25 m2) no internet access and not so fanciable food.

in light of this, im here writing my final entry for until i return. do keep posting on my tagboard to keep it alive! ;) and i'll wait with bated breath to read them when i return to tell of my wholesome trip and the number of lives ive touched.

Life's short

well yea the title says it all (becoming a lil cliche ain't it?)

i finally figured a few things in life, or rather kind of sorted out my priorities to what life should be about. I guess we have only 1 shot at everything. Yes i well aware that there are things in which you can repeat and do again until you have hit perfection. However, the adrenaline just does not pick up the second time around. So i guess i've decided that studying is the best thing for me right now.

well this essentially means i'd have to shelve all my other plans. Of which some plans will be clearer to my closer frens and some known to all. yeap. so i guess nothing except studying this year? kind of monotonous and i would not second this form of reckless hardcore memorization of niformation, of which 90% will be rendered useless in time to come when we hit the job market. its really not worth it if you would think of it simply. its just a piece of paper, with 4-5 letters printed on it. (A A A A A). However, the world has become relatively myopic and resort to resolve their problems of picking the right man for the job base on this little slip of paper, which is nothing really. strike a match and its gone.

but its this cold hard reality that we have to face and I have to face. much to my detest of such a concept, i am obliged to worship it just like any other faithful believer in the education system. so much of the irony that being against ppl worshipping religion, i personally worship a piece of paper.

Broadcast Asia 07

i think im kinda screwed for next week's common test. main culprit: *drum rolls* BROADCAST ASIA *tada! beams*. well possibly the only consolation is delectable and scrumptous meals during this whole week, something i'll say yes to without much persuation ><.

but its been really busy and tiring. getting up at like 7 in the morning to follow my dad to the show at expo, and then send pratically the whole day at the booth trying to promote Fairlight (a company selling audio post production consoles. nvm the technical terms.) and of course the more well known DolbyDigital. show ends at 6, which is followed closely by dinner, where i'd have to join in the socialising and stuff, which will lasts till 10 plus, 11.

haven had the time to charge my camera batteries and explains the lack of illustrations in this entry. will make an effort to put some pics into my next entry.

as for now. malcolm can't wait to jump into bed and juz drop dead. just got home actually. yeap. its goodnite i guess.

Bittersweet?

YAY malcolm is happy, no wait. ESTATIC =) cuz malcolm attended a party ytd nite which was really really fun, funnie, and he made many new frens =D. he would like to say a big THANKEW to the person hu organised it =) *wide smile* and promises to get the person a nice prezzie on tt person's bdae!

den again, malcolm is not so happy cuz he's confused. cuz he doesnt know what to do. he tries so hard n pushes himself to do things he's never done before, but he does not gain any ground. so he's SAD, feeling rather poignant =(. and bewildered too. cuz there are somethings that are happening to him but not involving the kind of situation that he likes. so yea. its rather confusing and puts him a really deep doubt about prospects of life. and the more he thinks about it, the more puzzling it gets. maybe he should just take things in his stride n stop thinking bout the baffling stuff and juz concentrate on rearing his <><.

@ e zoo

sigh. im emoing now. k not so much but so many ppl emoing now so i kena abit of peer pressure so also emoing. haha abit sick of studying and still contemplating the question >.<

so i'll take this opportunity to talk bout my trip to the zoo wif some imh patients. well yea it started off as this cip trip, where we were supposed to bring imh patients around the zoo, each of us is to look after one patient. heard from rachel that the patients were quite sociable but our group turned out to be rather quiet. but one particular incident touched me deeply i would say. cuz apparently one of them refused to eat his share of lunch or snacks, cuz he was saving for his brother. it hit me rather hard that these people may not be as fast intellectually, but they do have as much if not more compassion for others around them. one of them even asked me if i had eaten and offered me their food, when he saw that they (the patients) were the only one eating, while we students as volunteers did not have anything to eat.

yea dats about it i guess. driving's going well, im still quite timid to admit, nvm shall continue having wild, emo thoughts.

a big thankew to my j1 piano ensemble members =) the exco (xuewei, pris, gah i dunno hu else ><) for planning it, gladys for using her house (pit + tennis court), and the rest for cooking for ME =D. oh n not to forget the cards n blue teddybear, which uhhh kinda complex to describe it =P.

Bowling Chalet ^^

well, was away at changi for 3d2n, for a bowling chalet, probably the last 'official' gathering which will involve everyone in '07. did not break any records in terms of going sleepless (thanx to some bacardi tt made everyone go kuku, with ben being the only sober person durign the 2nd nite ><)

yupp a big THANKEW to the j1 exco for organising it =) and our dearest shuaige*crosses fingers*, mr lee, hu treated us to the bbq =) and of course everyone hu came down and juz chill out and have fun =), especially those hu had to come down from on-going competitions and trainings!

well, had driving test in teh morn where i passed my module 1 xD, den we met in tampines bus interchange b4 going to changi civil service club. played some games at the arcade, of which games costs 20cents per token. haha guess i finally found one that is 'reasonably priced' xP. had bbq that evening, in which the bulk of the people appeared! food was not too bad i guess, except that the variety was rather constrained ><, have to thank jeremy, szeling, xingyi, james, aikxin, rachel, ann, joel for helping to cook =) did not sleep much that nite thanx to just TWO (2) games of risk. of which the later game lasted 5 hours >< possibly due to mind-boggling, intense mind games being played by each player =P. slept at 7am the next morning xD.

2nd day started rather late as we tried to squeeze some sleep time out of a blank schedule =P. so had brunch at changi village, tried the cheapest nasilemak available, found it average, cuz the chilli was not as enticing as the other stalls. probably explained the price =).we then spent the reaminig of the day playing games at the arcade, mahjong, risk. den 4 ppl leaft for home, 4 left for college league, and i was left wif emoboy josh and weihan. had chicken rice for dinner, den rent bikes, started without the 4 hu went to college league, cycled to changi beach club, only to be turned away by the security guard. then cycled to ferry point in the middle of the night, which took us about 2 hours in total, and went to cheers, where i had to buy the little j1s bacardi. haha. and it was quite thankful no girls stayed over, esp during the 2nd nite cuz everyone was kinda 'drunk' lol. alot of gibberish, inane and daft things were done, and it was kind a good move cuz everyone was sound asleep by 3am (well considering we returned from the biking trip at 2).

day 3 was just getting them to wake up and checking out. and of course reminiscing about everything that has happen in the CCA in 2007 =)). which kinda leaves a bittersweet feeling.

Suayyy ><

Is it just a coincidence or am i really tt suay?

seems to be that everyone around me will meet with something really disastrous, be it on a friendship level, a relationship level, family level, ah well. anything. seems like im a walking disaster ><.

ok take bowling for example. im into it for 6 years, ive taken part in many competitions, i have a resonably ncie rev and average scores. but come competition i always screw up. without fail. similarly, the people who end up bowling on my lanes also bowl badly. gives u a bittersweet feeling somehow ><. yes it is kinda like an oxymoron where 2 opposite things just seem to complement each other. like feeling bad for your opponent cuz they bowl badly and it seems only so when they bowl wif you, but yet at the same time giving you hope as you see urself climbing further up the scoresheet.

ahahah well i hope this does not affect me in future or ill end up ummm let see...jobless, divorced, crippled, pennyless, and eventually premature death ><.

bwahahah im suffering from low self esteem rite now ><

V day!

ahaha yea its another boring day for me, unlike many others who are busy going out on dates and stuff. well cuz its simple. no date. haha but doesnt mean i dun like anyone. just too timid to admit i guess.

ah wells cuz only 2 people know bout this. and if this person should know it would be really really awkward. yea but anyway few people read this blog anyways so that particular person will unlikely see this and thus things wont be that awkward after all. =)

well the awkwardness is kinda like liking ur best friend and becuz he/she finds out u like him/her and then u guys are not good pals anymore. yea that sort of awkwardness. juz sad isnt it? so i guess im too timid to risk something like this and will just be contented with what i have =). well at least i get to see her and be her friend rite?

ahaha so to those adventurous heart wanderers, this day sure is a nice fun-filled day for you! but hearts are fragile so have fun but dun break them! =)

Shame to the Game

Well, i juz witnessed a time wasting FINALS of the tiger cup, now called the asean championship. How so? Well, ten mins left of the game, aproximately 55 thousand people at the Kallang Stadium and possibly 1 million viewers at home, were left dumb-founded for a good 15 mins, as the whole thai soccer team trudge off the pitch in an attempt to oppose the referee's decision of giving Singapore a penalty.

For goodness sake. All these things are part of the game. Even if the referee was wrong, it is still part of the game. Life GOES on. Firstly, ure not manchester united, whom half the world worships, so walking out of the pitch is simply a no-no and not something you should invent. Secondly, its even WRONG just to walk out of the pitch in protest. Wheres the sportsmanship? Well at least Singapore won cuz frankly, i think it will do Singapore more justice if they won like 5-1 or something.

Thumbs down to the people who spoilt the beautiful game and language we all commonly speak.

Puzzle of My Heart

Everytime we meet,
The picture is complete,
But everytime we touch,
The feeling is too much.
She's all i ever need,
To fall in love again.

I knew it from the very start,
She's the puzzle of my heart.

Hmm.. ponder... ponder... ponder =)

Relationships in JC

Ah wells the name speaks for itself, yes relationship in JCs, well actually not just JCs but in secondary schools as well and possibly polytecnics.

Well often than not, teenagers tend to take relationships too seriously, especially considering their age, their ability to provide for themselves (a stable job, therefore let alone their counterparts), and their maturity.

One thing's for sure, I'm an immature spoilt brat. Which is why i don't happen to be in a relationship. As appeared in the Sunday Times, a guy was deperate over giving his girlfriend the wrong impression and was not hessitant to show his 'seriousness' over her. Well lets analyse this carefully. Firstly, both the guy and the girl are of the same age and are studying in the same college. Let us assume that all goes well. They will both graduate at the same time and would have spent 2 happy years together. However (gosh this is sounding like an econs essay), very soon the girl will be going off either overseas to study or may end up in a local university. The guy will then have to serve his 2 years in national service. Well lets just say all still go well and coincidentally, they meet in the same college either overseas or locally.

But things take a twist this time around. Because the guy and girl haven met for like 2 years, the girl gets tired of waiting and meets other nicer looking and probably smarter guys. And yes she dates them. Furthermore, the guy enters the varsity as the girl's junior. How awkward would that be for both parties!

So here is the guy now in JC and spending all his allowance on his girlfriend, without knowledge that such things could happen to him in the future. So guys, save ur money for a rainy day or probably for your future education and go easy on relationships, they are meant to be for FUN in JC and not something so serious that you'll die over it.

Because we have to face reality, relationships in JC do NOT last! So if you feel that that particular girl who is attractive, has great assets, slender legs, nice pretty face, and you want to make her your wife, be patient! Here's a tip. Try dating her when you are earning a 5/6 figure salary and she'll most probably be yours for the keeping! =)

Well that's all the gibberish i have for now! cheerios!

Merry New Year!

Well sometimes i just stop to ponder. What is so good and merry about a new year?

1. This means you are OLDER (especially sensitive to people above the age of 50)
2. This means you have to out-perform your previous year (so if you won a gold medal at your last school meet, this time u gotta win 2!)
3. Its the end of the holidays! Back to school! (YAY)
4. There is a high possibility that your girlfriend of 1 year has gotten sick of you and decides to dump you

However, try not to fall off the wrong side of your bed as I did so that morning (thus coming up with the above list). As the benefits simply outweigh the detriments! (gosh so essay like ><)

1. You get another shot at your birthday! (more presents)
2. You can start learning how to drive! (for those who turns 18)
3. You are of the legal age of consent! (for the raging hormonal ones)
4. You get to be the senior of the school!
5. You have an entire new year to make full use of!

So whilst everyone is busy making new year resolutions, i'm here to rant on about my all encompassing life, procrastinating and wasting my youth away ><. But here are some i guess.

1. Try to be punctual especially on assignments
2. Qualify for Masters in A division
3. Bring home the 4 As in GCEA Levels ^^

Yupp so thats all from me i guess =) here's wishing everyone all the best!
