这是许多人 捉不住 抓不紧 的一片孤云
但当它想在你 心中的天空停留的时候
怎么会有一阵风 哪来的一阵风
把它给吹走了呢 . . . . . .

One-out-of-Two-Times-Jialat-Jialat-Update!! :)
31 Jan 2010, Sunday
Hihi!! Good thing i still managed to post before January is out and away. It sounds tragic to have the first post of the year anytime outside of January, well, feels tragic to me anyway~
So, lucky i remembered to be back!! ;)
Ok as y'all already know (and complained), my posts stopped for what, 3 months? Yea yea it's not that i've nothing to write, but i just got so immersed in the heat of everything that i, well, didn't think of writing. Umm~ no, that's not an excuse. To those following my blog, i have 2 words for you; 1. Sorry. 2. *sheepishly* Hehe. Ok, technically 3.
Nov 2009
Well... Now, as far as i can remember, i spent Nov 2009 getting engrossed in a few things. First of which was Vincent Van Gogh and the song written after him.

Nov 2009
Well... Now, as far as i can remember, i spent Nov 2009 getting engrossed in a few things. First of which was Vincent Van Gogh and the song written after him.
Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853–29 July 1890) was a Dutch
Post-Impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th
century art for its vivid colors and emotional impact. He suffered from anxiety and increasingly frequent bouts of mental illness throughout his life, and died largely unknown, at the age of 37, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Little appreciated during his lifetime, his fame grew in the years after his death. Today, he is widely regarded as one of history's greatest painters and an important contributor to the foundations of modern art.
*Rolls Eyes at those wondering* Ok, it wasn't because of paintings, alright? I only noticed this person's life because of this fantastic song "Vincent" written by Don Mclean. If you'd bother to notice, the song elaborates everything from the name of Vincent's paintings, the circumstances he'd been through, and the how and why his life ended the way it did.
Oh my GOD i actually elaborated on this. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeet.
Definitely Nerdy.
Of course, early-mid Nov was the time where i was supposed to be studying studying studying for exams and nothing else. I wonder why and what the hell now, that i was researching into all that stuff at such a crucial period. And i can actually recall having fun chit-chatting during revisions rather than stress. Damn. No wonder i had to settle for lesser results. Of course, i also had my mind full on my sweet not-fated-de-dream-lover. For all the fuss over her, i actually managed to fluff every single little chance to talk to her, last of which was helped by Xiaohei's tactical position and of course, helpfulness. As i say, not fated. Xiaohei u owe me one. hor. ArHahaaa :D
Mmmm~ Such a pity.
Hey guys/gals, if y'all happen to know any really cute gal by the name of Lee Sze Ying, pls intro her to me, ok????? I think that's my dreamlover~ Lolz :p
Post-Exams-alamaktar - A syndrome where one suffers from much anxiety, desperation, hair-pulling, regret and alamak and pray and alamak, alamak and alamak after exams.
Ok, i made that up, grrrr~ I don't know about the rest of you, but Yours Monkeyly definitely suffered from P.E.Alamaktar first thing after each exam paper this sem. Main reason was, i actually managed to definitely flunk one 25mark question for each paper. Of course that doesn't affect the post-exam celebrations at cineleisure with Xiaohei, Joey and Janet - my mind was full with distraught from the latest missed-chance-encounter with cutey dreamlover-who-continue-to-stay-no-more-than-in-dreams Sze Ying. We watched 2012 and i thought it was fantastic, despite a few magazine reviews to the contrary. And then while we was having dinner at Xing Wang cafe (i saw Stephanie, Jennifer and their friend there on their gal outing!), Kuang called and i had to reject his invitation to go drinking with his colleagues because I already had my post exam late night friday soccer celebration session scheduled (I overheard him saying "Oh!! one handsome down" to the dismayed cries of gals in the background when he thought wrongly that i'd hung up the phone). *Back to Singlish mode*Oooi, next time want to intro me gals, say early lah~~ Hahaaa ;)
Ok, so exams came and went with Nov, and when it was over finally here was my favourite Dec! The month full of fun and happiness and having too much time on my hands due to no school after work.
Read quite a number of books, didn't I? Must've been more than 10 at least, i think. Finally managed to find "Outcast" and "Oathbreaker" from Michelle Paver's Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series. And there was that book related to Merlin, can't remember what it was. And then there were a couple more books from the library plus i bought the whole series of Cecilia Ahern's books and the House of Night series by P.C Cast + Krsitin Cast.
Ohhh of course, breaking out of the nerdshell, there were the Bday celebrations and gifts and about 3 fun flight/base/squadron events and NPS chalet and X'mas!! Awww~ where to start? *Exhausted after long post* Next post, i think! To be continued!! ;)

Tis' a happy single's song shared by Phyllis on facebook, and OH boy, did I like it! :)
Michael Buble - Haven't Met You Yet
I'm Not Surprised Not Everything Lasts
I've Broken My Heart So Many Times, I Stop Keeping Track.
Talk Myself In I Talk Myself Out
I Get All Worked Up And Then I Let Myself Down.
Bridge1
I Tried So Very Hard Not To Loose It
I Came Up With A Million Excuses
I Thought I Thought Of Every Possibility
Chorus
And I Know Someday That It'll All Turn Out
You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid That I'll Get So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Mmmmm ....
I Might Have To Wait I'll Never Give Up
I Guess It's Half Timing And The Other Half's Luck
Wherever You Are Whenever It's Right
You Come Out Of Nowhere And Into My Life
Bridge2
And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility Mmmmm ......
Chorus
They Say All's Fair And In Love And War
But I Won't Need To Fight It
We'll Get It Right And We'll Be United
Bridge2

Oh Promise You Kid To Give So Much More Than I Get

Men's brains vs women's brains
12 Oct 2009, Monday
I saw this video quite some time back and told myself i absolutely have to share this, but apparently i'd been absent from my blog for too long before my previous little rants of the past few days. Luckily somebody reposted it on facebook which reminded me. It's really hilarious and it explains some things men do that women don't understand, and the reason why men provide help or advice rather than just sit back and listen. Funny! :)
I love the nothing box!! :)

"Proof" of my OCPDness?
11 Oct 2009, Sunday
This was the mail sent to my groupmates as the vent of my frustrations at that time. I actually wrote this after receiving a msg from the Always-D-grade-but-not-humble-enough-to-accept-others'-input groupmate. I think it's actually quite entertaining, if you're not on the receiving end of it, hahaa
------------------------------------------------
Hi fellas, As texted to CM, i will not be much involved in the remaining Q3d after that day's discussion on 3a, b and parts of c.
However, I would like to provide these little pieces of advice in case you don't already know them. Pls take it from a constructive point of view, not personally like the other time round.
1. Copy pasted work will not win you many marks, plagiarism rate will flag out high and, i won't say all, but certainly some or many lecturers do take these stuff rather badly. It shows lack of effort that gives the perception of little consideration before putting in the contents.
2. I have tried each time to put on a mask of anonymity for the company name, for your own sake. Each time, it seems to be rejected and i do not understand why, despite having provided proof in one of my previous mails from lecturers that it is not fucking necessary to put in a company name.
3. Word count are just guidelines? Maybe for some lecturers, but not all. For example, the lecturer in the class T613 is the type who has specifically mentioned she will deduct marks for overshooting word count. Given that our very own lecturer is relatively new and he follows the slides so closely during his lectures, do you think he will treat it as "just a guideline"? Think again.
4. Pls don't take everything or indeed anything as "already understood by lecturers". There IS a reason why we're fucking students. We are supposed to show that we understand these stuff in our work. Otherwise, might as well hand in a blank piece of work? Don't you think lecturers already know just about everything in the TMA?
5. It's the subtle differences that separates one grade from the next. Perhaps every single individual thing i mentioned will seem trifle or matters little to one or more of you, but they do add up, next thing you know, you've shifted from one grade to the next, then to the next, and to the next again. Sounds familiar?
Thus far, you guys might think i've been "difficult to work with". If that is the case, i apologise for offending in any way. However, i wish to highlight that i only wanted the best for the 3 of us. Sometimes when you guys have certain views that contradicts my own, i might argue my points, but ultimately when you guys manage to convince me, i do alter the answers to the point of our discussion. Each time i put in an input, it is because i think it is an improvement to what was already done. And i emphasize the point that in the case of 3a and 3b, i did not OVERHAUL the fucking answers. I merely made small little tweaks here and there which i deemed necessary. It would all have been very well if you guys were able to provide satisfying relevant reasons for not using them, but that day, i heard nothing except stuff like "looks the same, so use mine lor", "aiyah, wordcount is just a guideline", "you dun understand, doesn't mean lecturer don't understand". There you go, nothing constructive whatsoever.
Lastly, i agree with Eric that grades are not everything, not everyone is good at what they do. I have never needed my groupmates to be damn good, and i always respect each individual's work, but i hate it when ppl are not humble enough to accept it if and when ppl tell them their work is not good enough in some ways, not to mention rejecting inputs from others without good reason. I also hate being taken for a ride, and i hate knowing that the efforts i put in for us were rejected without good reason but merely with nothing except scorn and with much spite. Pls know that everything i put in, i am merely striving to improve whatever good work we already have, for us. Unlike, perhaps some ppl are thinking, it has nvr been for the pleasure of trying to feel superior to others or to show that i'm good or what. FYI, i do not think i'm good enough, but i DO take pride in what i do, and i do them in the name of good honour and responsibility towards everyone of us. I believe i have explained myself satisfactorily.
Lastly, i wish to reiterate that i have decided to be obedient and bear no intentions whatsoever of standing in the way of Chee Ming who has always expressedly shown an extraordinary inerest in completing Q3 by himself. I only ask that you guys look into the advice i have given and give them a little consideration.
Good day to you all.
Your fucking obedient soldier

-----------------------------------------------
Maybe somebody can help me by commenting whether i was displaying OCPD symtoms in this email? But on the other hand, how can anyone ever be efficient without having some degree of OCPD symptoms? Hahaa =p And how come i didn't display any of these when i was doing work with ppl like Joey, Jan, Xiaohei, etc? If i'm suffering from OCPD, it should apply to all and not only to certain ppl right???

Something about me that......
10 Oct 2009, Saturday
Something's definitely wrong with me. For some reason i haven't yet been able to identify, i seem to be getting on people's nerves recently.
Just last week, i had this conflict with one of my groupmates that explains my msn comment at that time. It also led to me writing a rather rude email with certain expletives. I was really irritated because one of them actually copied pasted something directly from a website as an answer to one of our assignment questions, and then when i tried to help by paraphrasing slightly and cutting down on the word count, i actually get rude retorts from the bugger. I'd understand if proper reasons were given for rejecting my share of input, and i didn't even OVERHAUL his answers, it was just little tweaks here and there.
And then yesterday, a good friend of mine actually had an indirect go at me. I'm not sure, but i seem to get the idea that i've irritated him recently him through some fault of mine that i haven't yet identified. *shrugs* I've decided let that pass though, we're friends, after all, so i'll take it lying down for once.
This also gets me thinking about the little incident between fishy and me earlier this year. Something's definitely very wrong with me. Perhaps i'm too sensible for my own good, so much so that i impose my thoughts on others, which they don't like?
*Sigh* It's terrible when goodwill somehow finds its way to become a source of irritation for others.
Good thing is, i'm a terribly optimistic person, so i'm going to forget about all this pretty quickly. Attending a wedding dinner later!! *Sigh* Another nice gal going down the aisle... *chuckles*
Speaking of weddings, i love this wedding proposal!! :)
How cool is that!! Damn nice!!! :)

Super funny and cute first heartbreak
19 Sep 2009, Saturday
It's 2am+ and I gotta wake up early later for work, but I really really have to share this!!
Damn super funny!!! HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!!!
I think the video editor really had a good sense of humour to add Zigeunerweisen after the point of rejection and silence ... And the poor kid was wailing "Why!? Why!!?" in Jap after that!
(which explains the "wei xia mi" floating down the video) HAHAHAHAHAA!!!
What drama! :)

Not Emo-ing but loving emo songs :)
12 Sep 2009, Saturday
I'm not emo-ing at all, and I very seldom go into emo state, but I really like emo songs. HAHA
I just love songs that I can relate to. It doesn't have to be my own story, sometimes I listen to a song and I'll think of a friend and his/her plight or something, or some past experiences, or what I perceive to be their experiences. I dunno... I dun emo, but these songs really get to my heart, does that make sense? Hurhurr~ =p
Having said that, i'll admit i'm very partial to Eason Chan's songs and Lin Xi's lyrics. They're really emo, but really nice and applies to situations as well. The stories I personally experience, or see, or perceive unravels around these songs from time to time. And then i'm really lucky because sometimes i get (new to me) nice old songs into my song vocab and i get all excited over them that i just can't stop listening. So fun! Music is fantastic, it is it is it is~! =D It's my form of Harry Potter magic in this non-magical community of ours. Some songs are like the cheering charm; they make me so happy, think I'm Yours and In the Mood. Some songs tear me apart like crucio; think Tank's If i become a memory, and Damien Rice's The blower's daughter. Some songs do touch me so as well, think Endless love. I'm still waiting to discover my dose of Felix Felicis though ;) I want a song that makes me feel lucky~!! :)
Here's a dose of "Crucio"~
*Caution Note*
Dun emo cos of it huh ;)
Wish they didn't add in the scenes from Closer into the MTV though, cos the original scenes seem to relay the story of the song much better :l
-------------------------------------------------------
The blower's daughter
Lyrics
And so it is just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me most of the time
And so it is the shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes... (off you)
And so it is just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is the colder water
The Blower's Daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes... (off you)
(From gal)
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind... my mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new ......

We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is the colder water
The Blower's Daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes... (off you)
(From gal)
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind... my mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new ......

Here's the live version... I think it's so full of feel and super super nice! ;)

Gibberish
23 August 2009, Sunday
Mmm~ I realised it's been quite some time since i've last written about myself, so here we go. Today's another particularly alone (not lonely) day, spent living like a retiree. Well, at least it feels that way to me. Sleeping till whatever time i like, doing nothing in particular except reading newspapers, watching TV, and sitting around trying to get fat, nothing strenuous, nothing too exciting, nothing to stir my emotions, and craving for Roti Prata. Easily contented, is Ah Heng. Well, perhaps grandchildren running around would be nice, hur hurr~ =D
So i started wondering... Since when did i start living and feeling this way? I know for sure sometimes people feel life can be so unfair, i do that sometimes. Believe it or not, i was born into a poor family, once being touted as a "野孩子" without proper manners, skinny, scrawny, sickly little boy that i was, hot-tempered, conceited, haolian, haughty, overconfident, unrealistic, irritating, shunned by kids of "proper" upbringing, given dirty looks by sec sch teachers, humiliated once even, getting slapped by one of them. If i did well for a piece of homework like composition, it was because i'd got a "JC friend" to do that assignment for me. Damn adults, they think they know everything. (I proved her wrong and scored one of the highest marks for composition during exams later, anyway) Ah, worse still, the presence of those perfect little beings, rich, well educated, well behaved, loved kids (i supposed i meant given by the same teachers), cute, good grades, no trouble. Pay attention to them, leave the sarcarsm and berating for those hopeless ones.
Life isn't fair. Expecting life to be fair is like expecting the Lion not to eat someone because he/she is vegeterian.
I'm happy i chose to change. I'll skip the boasting since it takes too much explaining and you all know me for the person i am now, hur hurr ;)

19 August 2009, Wednesday
Short Dinner with Kuang, Zhaorong, Sio, and Jolene
It wasn't anything much, but i really feel so happy and glad to have met some NPS peeps today, even if it's just a short dinner and small talk. I'm also glad that apparently i haven't lost my good sense of humour, Thanks Sio for being my guinea pig and scapegoat *shake* "Do you feel anything?" ha ha haa ;) Oh~ so fun~ but we forgot to take pictures... Mustn't forget that next time.
Interpreting Songs
This (the gist of the Lyrics) was actually what i've gone thru before.
Sometimes, it's not until songs are interpreted in another language that you realise how meaningful those lyrics can be... Have fun trying ;)
十年 - 陳奕迅 (Eason Chan)
Music: 陳小霞 Lyrics: 林夕
如果那兩面個字沒有顫抖
我不會發現 我難受
怎麼說出口 也不過是分手
如果對於明天沒有要求
牽牽手就像旅遊
成千上萬個門口 總有一個人要先走
Bridge
懷抱既然不能逗留
何不在離開的時候
一邊享受 一邊淚流
Chorus
十年之前
我不認識你 你不屬於我
我們還是一樣
陪在一個陌生人左右
走過漸漸熟悉的街頭
十年之後
我們是朋友 還可以問候
只是那種溫柔
再也找不到擁抱的理由
情人最後難免淪為朋友
Bridge
Chorus
直到和你做了多年朋友
才明白我的眼淚
不是為你而流
也為別人而流
Ten Years - Eason Chan
If those two (spoken) words weren’t trembling
I wouldn't have realised that I'm hurting
No matter how it is phrased
It's still simply a break-up
If we have no expectations for tomorrow
Holding hands would be just like a tour
(With) hundreds, thousands of doors (*with so many choices)
Inevitably one (of us) will leave first
Bridge
Since embrace cannot be retained
Why not at the time of parting
Savour (the feeling) while we're shedding tears
Chorus
Ten years ago
I didn't know you; you didn't belong to me
Weren't we likewise
Staying at the side of some stranger
Walking through the streets that slowly became familiar
Ten years from now
We will be friends; (we) can still greet each other
It's only that, that kind of warmth;
will never again, find us a reason to embrace
In the end, it's hard for lovers not to turn into just friends
Bridge
Chorus
It's not until I've been friends with you for many years
That I understand, my tears
If not shed for you
Will likewise be shed for another person
---------------------------------------------------------------------
When difficulties arise... when bad things happen; I know it's difficult to go thru and easy for me to say, but the best we can do for ourselves is still to adapt (to the current situation), move on, seek, search, and find happiness in other ways that suit us...

Another a la carte Posting
11 August 2009, Tuesday
Just wanna share some thoughts that occurred to me randomly at different times this past 2 weeks~ And another nice video clip ;)
Practicality vs Romancing
The thought begins when one of my best friends Jimmy told me sometime last week (or was it the week before? bah~ nvm, haha) that he'd just proposed to his girlfriend of 2 years. No, this isn't about the details of that proposal (not that i really know~ Hur hurr). It's given me something to ponder over though~ Having heard many versions of (sg) couples' relationships from strangers to friends to bf-gf to husband and wife, i've found something that seems...... weird to me. And i'm kind of amazed how de-sensitized to this the people of our country have become. Read on.
So goes the story of the typical courtship in Singapore.
Guy meets gal (or vice versa, sui bian la huh), they develop good impressions for each other (or they bicker) and fall in love, they get together, and after a few years, either "it's about time", or out of the blue they decide to try applying for a house together. Whoops!! They actually DO get the home they applied for. Ok, maybe after two or three tries, whatever. They make some plans for their future, the days roll by, guy proposes to gal, she says yes (hello? was she going to reject anyway?), they go for ROM, and when everything's in place they have their wedding dinner, hopefully they live happily ever after. Ewww~ Nice and practical, Familiar? ;)
Now listen to MY preferred version of sequence of events. Guy meets gal (or vice versa, sui bian la huh), they develop good impressions for each other (or they bicker) and fall in love, they get together. After some time, guy decides that gal is the right person he wants to be with for the rest of his life. He decides, he prepares, he springs a surprise proposal! Wowww, what courage, to propose not knowing if gal is gonna accept. (If gal loves guy enough to want him for the rest of her life) Gal is pleasantly surprised! She's gonna love guy much much more for this surprise anyway, she probably accepts on impulse, but she's never, ever, going to forget this. She'll still decide later that it was the right decision anyway. They're fiance and fiancee now. There's this fresh, new wave of mushy mushy muack muack lovey dovey tian mi qi with each other. Then they make plans together for their new home, family, whatever. This, my friends, is what i call romancing to a marriage. Just look at the difference!! I'm sure you all get what i'm trying to say, Hahaa ;)
Perceived no-needs and dun-wants
Ok, so much for being a hopeless romantic, Hahaa. Next thing concerns pretty much about myself. It was a weekday while i was on a bus on my way home. Was looking at cars zooming past and for some reason, i started wondering why i'd never found being able to drive as something important or indeed, a need at all. Truly told, it wasn't even halfway up my wants list. How the hell did i grow up to be so different from others?
So i did some checks on myself. Hell, numerous times and occasions over the years, i'd complained to myself about darn Singaporeans driving when they could've just taken the public transport and lighten the traffic (of course la, i was probably anxious about possibly being late whenever this comes to mind), keep the air cleaner, and reduce the number of traffic accidents. Moreover, i find cars to be an expensive luxury item, not to mention the ever increasing ERP and petrol prices. And i tell you what, Add to that my principle of not "doing something just because everyone else thinks it's necessary", or quite simply my dislike of social conformity without first convincing myself of it's logic or necessity.
And then my bus reached Old Boon Lay Shopping Centre. This was when i realised the real underlying reason for not feeling the need to drive throughout all these years. I live walking distance to a Shopping centre surrounded by coffeeshops, hawker centre, accessible transport, 24hr stores, etc. I can get just about anything i need or want so easily. If i'd lived somewhere any less convenient all these years... needing, perhaps, to take a bus just to get some food, or tidbits, or groceries and stuff... i think i would have wanted to drive long ago... Time to change my thinking, i suppose ;) And they say an inch of gold couldn't buy one "an inch" of time... Owning a car does invariably save one lots of time, so i guess it's gonna worth it after all.
Just How did it take me so long to realise this!? Haiyo~~~ LOL
The EriAm Sisters
Honestly, i was quite astonished and pleasantly surprised when i first saw this video of The EriAm Sisters. I think it was probably their first appearance on American's got Talent [edit] just recently. And man! They're really fantastic!! ;) And then i also appreciated the way the audience stood up and clapped/cheered/grooved along once they realised how talented the young girls were, God, they really DO know how to appreciate and enjoy watching raw talent on display!! Really, trust me, take some time to watch this, it'll be well worth your time :)
And Ooo!! I love this song!! ;)
Quite strangely, i felt so touched and so proud of them for their parents everytime i watch this...
Hahaaa :p Weird
[edit] You might want to watch with much higher resolution and completeness from intro to judges comments from the following link... Pity embedding's disallowed for this one :p Skip the first part about the freak (it's funny with the emcee though hahaa) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQg3MrMLLRw

Rants vs Good stuff
02 August 2009, Sunday
Owww~ I've really lost it, haven't I?
First thing to remark after my last post, NO, i shall not blog more frequently, because somehow i find myself soooo drained of energy everyday. Every so often i think of blogging, mostly when i see or hear something intriguing, and yet i'd decide against it due to my lethargy. Mmmmm~~~ I'm really getting old and feeling it. I miss all the energy and drive i've had as a youth. And yet, "Youth" doesn't seem that long ago, if i look at it in that sense.
Alright, i should kill the culprits of all these lethargy - late nights that mean i sleep only about 4-5hrs everyday? But i guess it still has to do with... age. And then there's also that organization that's world class in starving one's brains of wits, drive and optimism. Zzzzzz......... Hahaa. Alright do me a favour and don't ask me about it - really, nothing bad has happened.
Social life. Honestly, HELL, i miss everyone. I miss all my NPS friends, poly friends, ITE friends, soccer friends. Human beings are social animals - we crave friendship and company. Hmm~ Why don't I jio ppl out, sms, or call anyone pro-actively anymore? Why am i so different from the Ah Heng everyone's accustomed to????
*Alarm bells sounding out*
tneh! tneh! tneh! tneh! Signs of age spotted!! Signs of age spotted!! Grumpyness from Ah Heng, Grumpyness from Ah Heng!!
OK OK i know!!! Enough about my own complaints, hehe. Now for the good stuff~
Good stuff 1:
If you're a follower of 超級星光大道, i suggest you watch this Taiwan Chinese New Year variety show - 牛轉乾坤旺旺來. The following is a link to the first of 24 videos... It's super nice!! :) If you've the patience to watch the whole thing, you'll find quite a number of fantastic performances. There's those cheeky comments, and things like Lin You Jia vs Xu Jiaying kind of stuff, performances from dance groups like the reigning cheerleading champions of Asia. Fantastic! Then again, there's 24 videos, hahaa :p Stick to the clips that start with 中視除夕特別節目 for better sound though!
I absolutely love these kind of Happy shows!! :)
Good stuff 2:
I'm lucky because recently i've found quite a number of songs that i really really like. Mainly it's songs from the Band called "Queen". I think everyone knows them for songs like "We will rock you" and "We are the champions", but these aren't really their best songs, at least not in my opinion. Not that i've heard many of their songs, but i listened to a few due to one of the performances in 牛轉乾坤旺旺來.
I really really like songs like "I was born to love you", "Don't stop me now", "The great pretender", "Bicycle race", "Lazing on a sunday afternoon". There's many more of course, but i can't elaborate cos i haven't heard them all. But i'm not embedding the videos of this band because erm, they seem quite gay. Damn it. Well, still, the songs are nice anyway. On a side note: Shut up, Edward Cullen - by evidence of these songs, music in the 70s weren't all that bad.
Good stuff 3:
This song by Mayday, or 五月天 - 你不是真正的快樂 The lyrics are simply fantastic, especially the last parts about letting go and living a renewed life. I'm sure that sets many people thinking about their lives and experiences they've been through, well, people who notice the lyrics the way i do, anyway.
五月天 你不是真正的快樂
人群中 哭著 你只想變成透明的顏色
你再也不會夢 或痛 或心動了
你已經決定了 你已經決定了
你 靜靜 忍著 緊緊把昨天在拳心握著
而回憶越是甜 就是 越傷人了
越是在 手心留下 密密麻麻 深深淺淺 的刀割
你不是真正的快樂 你的笑只是你穿的保護色
你決定不恨了 也決定不愛了
把你的靈魂關在永遠鎖上的軀殼
這 世界 笑了 於是妳合群的一起笑了
當生存是規則 不是 你的選擇
於是妳 含著眼淚 飄飄盪盪 跌跌撞撞 的走著
你不是真正的快樂 你的笑只是你穿的保護色
你決定不恨了 也決定不愛了
把你的靈魂關在永遠鎖上的軀殼
你不是真正的快樂 你的傷從不肯完全的癒合
我站在你左側 卻像隔著銀河
難道就真的抱著遺憾一直到老了 然後才後悔著
你值得真正的快樂 你應該脫下你穿的保護色
為什麼失去了 還要被懲罰呢
能不能就讓 悲傷全部 結束在此刻 重新開始活著
Good stuff 4: (But only if you're an Arsenal fan like me)
I've watched Arsenal in the Emirates cup match yesterday, they were fantastic!! Jack Wilshere was super super remarkable - He can dribble, he has that rare vision to create opportunities with through passes, and, my oh my, he can shoot too! i tell you he's the Fabregas who can dribble and shoot, and soon he'll be Arsenal's next Dennis Bergkamp and the answer to Barca's Lionel Messi - you mark my words. Merida seems to be a potential to fill the void left by Flamini, cos from what i saw he was quite an aggressive player who's totally not shy of challenges, though he wasn't employed in the defensive midfield position. Overall Arsenal was simply fantastic!!
Clips of Jack Wilshere here, if you're interested. But don't waste your time if you're not a soccer fan.
Good stuff 5: (Again, only if you're a soccer fan)
And speaking of Dennis Bergkamp!! My 心中的神. Watch his goals, then skills and assists. The timing of his through passes!! Whoa, the stuff shown in the video just gets better and better with each second. He is super Fantastic!! It's no coincidence that Arsenal's stopped winning things ever since he retired. Sigh~ Really wish he's still young and still playing in the team lorrr~
I say all these are good stuff, but then again it's not everyone who appreciates things the way i do!! HAHA :p Conceited pig, Ah Heng is... Hehe ;)
Whoaaa long post again after so long, compensation effect, i guess? *chuckles* Ok! Till next time!!
Owww~ I've really lost it, haven't I?

你決定不恨了 也決定不愛了
把你的靈魂關在永遠鎖上的軀殼
你不是真正的快樂 你的傷從不肯完全的癒合
我站在你左側 卻像隔著銀河
難道就真的抱著遺憾一直到老了 然後才後悔著
你值得真正的快樂 你應該脫下你穿的保護色
為什麼失去了 還要被懲罰呢
能不能就讓 悲傷全部 結束在此刻 重新開始活著
Good stuff 4: (But only if you're an Arsenal fan like me)
I've watched Arsenal in the Emirates cup match yesterday, they were fantastic!! Jack Wilshere was super super remarkable - He can dribble, he has that rare vision to create opportunities with through passes, and, my oh my, he can shoot too! i tell you he's the Fabregas who can dribble and shoot, and soon he'll be Arsenal's next Dennis Bergkamp and the answer to Barca's Lionel Messi - you mark my words. Merida seems to be a potential to fill the void left by Flamini, cos from what i saw he was quite an aggressive player who's totally not shy of challenges, though he wasn't employed in the defensive midfield position. Overall Arsenal was simply fantastic!!
Clips of Jack Wilshere here, if you're interested. But don't waste your time if you're not a soccer fan.
Good stuff 5: (Again, only if you're a soccer fan)
And speaking of Dennis Bergkamp!! My 心中的神. Watch his goals, then skills and assists. The timing of his through passes!! Whoa, the stuff shown in the video just gets better and better with each second. He is super Fantastic!! It's no coincidence that Arsenal's stopped winning things ever since he retired. Sigh~ Really wish he's still young and still playing in the team lorrr~
I say all these are good stuff, but then again it's not everyone who appreciates things the way i do!! HAHA :p Conceited pig, Ah Heng is... Hehe ;)
Whoaaa long post again after so long, compensation effect, i guess? *chuckles* Ok! Till next time!!

Random things
06 July 2009, Monday
I'm irritating myself with the fact that i'm just so so sooooo goooood at procrastinating the things that i wanted myself to do despite having gotten everything ready ages ago. So instead of gettings things done and clearing out the original mess, i find myself staring at those prepared stuff which have now turned into another bundle of mess for me to sort out... i.e till the day i finally gather enough resolve to finish what i was doing in the first place... which is....... awww man~!! i dunno when!! *chuckles*
I seem to have gotten really good at snapping out of my moods and thoughts these days. No more second guessing at what could have been, or whatever! Sounds good huh~ heh heh
Awww this guy is really fantastic on the violin....
I have a new laptop!! It's a Toshiba M300-D4320, snapped it up during the PC show for just $1699 and i'm really pleased with it. No more getting irritated with my slow-like-tortoise Acer laptop! And you know what, how silly i can get sometimes. I'd gone to collect my laptop from the Harvey Norman outlet in JP, and i walked out of the shop with 2 boxes of stuff. It actually took me about half an hour to realise that the blur sales assistant had passed me 2 laptops - not just mine but also another customer's pre-ordered one. WOWWW 2 laptops for the price of one, good deal huh? Budden just like years ago when i had walked out of the Yamaha shop with that "free" guitar cos of the shop assistants' cock up, i was honest (not to forget stupid) enough to make the trip to return the stuff. Sigh~ no wonder good things nvr happen to me. With those noble goody boy bones in me and this wonderful world where the good and the kind always suffer more and the bad are privileged with more comforts... (hahaa!!).
Silly me no. 2 - It actually took me 2 days of getting my hands on this laptop before i realised that it has a built-in-webcam!! Wuahahaa~ hosay liao lorr~~~ lots of fun to come with it!! Yea i know some of you are saying aiya same as using camera mah, but it's the convenience and ease of filming the videos and playing them back immediately on the laptop, you see~ More than once, i fell asleep in bed using my laptop, and then there was this once when i woke up from a nap and decided there and then to film myself playing the ukulele since both the instrument and the (still powered on) laptop were within grabbing distance... So funny!!!! HAHAHA :p Shall post some of those videos soon if i can help it, especially those NG ones, hehehe :)
Last Saturday, went to pay my school fees and collect my course materials at SIM before heading for this BBQ near Yuyun's place. We'd reckoned that since Sio's back and Yuyun's flying back to Perth come friday, we shd meet to catch up. The party consisted of Yuyun, Sio, Kuang, Qimei, Weiling, Licong, Jiayan, and Hoepin, and another group of Yuyun's friends. Was really nice to see Yuyun and Sio again, being their usual selves, although i didn't recognise Yuyun until someone pointed her out to me from about 2 metres out, hahahaa~ Oh man~ she looked quite different to me at first with her now long hair la :p And she was really buay tahan with the first words James (who was there for only a few minutes) said to her after like what, 4 years plus of not meeting each other? And you know what, Yuyun and Sio are quite unique in the way they speak, their mannerisms, etc., and it just feels so nice to see them again, to observe them; how they move, what they do, the way they speak. Oh I dunno~ I think it's the sense of familiarity with them that makes me feel really happy to see them again, and their uniqueness makes this familiar feeling all the more magnified, i guess. Sio is just...... Sio again, which he hadn't been during the last few times he was with us. Doing all the crazy but whacky stuff, like smoking that half metre long "cigar", HAHAHA. Must be the effect of my first chants of simultaneous nonsenses when he'd just arrived giving him such a electrifying culture shock that's he's himself again, hehe!! *looking smug*
Ohhh i met Shiyi while we were waiting for our bus back at the end of the BBQ...... She mentioned something about Zhonghan asking about gathering and that she's deferred him to me to organise although i've never heard anything about it yet. Hmm~ Maybe soon!! ;)
Man~~~ i should really blog more often so that my posts dun get so wordy... yes? *chuckles* Well, we'll see about that :)

little updates~ ;)
Wuah hah~!!
Gone for 3 weeks, but that doesn't mean i've had nothing on my mind to write! Just no time at first, and then the things that followed in quick succession changed my mood just as quickly, so it's hard to want to write those initial stuff when you're not feeling them anymore. Sentimentalist me... *chuckles* Ok this is going to be quite wordy~ Bear with me!! *Growls like a bear*
1. After meeting Wanling (lunch), JY(Dinner), and Zhaorong(Rollerblade) last month, i finally caught up with Dj (supper) earlier this month. Kuang, Edward and XiaoheiJac goes without mention because we meet every so often, Hahaa =p That completes the catching up i wanted to do for the time being.
2. Organising that damned BBQ - Somehow i nvr got around to doing it...... *chuckles* I got lazy and distracted ever since the online booking system rejected my emails for the bookings - i wonder why...? Awww Man~ Could this be the year that we miss out even on the BBQ gathering that we have every year?
3. Soccer is so fun!! So far, my soccer kAs include my colleagues, ex-colleagues, poly friends, ITE friends, sec sch friends, and their friends' friends. Shiok huh!! People from almost all walks of my life!! ;) Whatever blues i have for whatever reasons, soccer clears them all for me... maybe except for the blue-blacks la!! Hehe!! =p
4. One secret that i'm not ready to confess or write about although it was very much the basis of my moods for the past 1 month or so... Reading others' old blogs, and looking at old pics sparked this. What would it have been like if......? Just wondering about the lost times. Hahaa.
5. NPStrings clubhouse - *sigh* Was there again on the day that Ngee Ann organised the farewell dinner for Blk 73 with some of the rest. So many things still exist there that brings back the memories and sentiments in me. The very first of those things that i noticed was when i made the turn up that first flight of stairs from canteen 1 to the second flight -> The flip-flop sign on the door that tells us if the clubhouse is open/closed. Can't really remember if there was already one when i joined, but i had something to do with either installing it or modifying it to what it was.
Whoa~ The feeling of moving nearer to the clubhouse with the anticipation of wondering who's already inside that slightly open door. There used to be numerous variations, of course - Kuang sleeping inside, or Hongzhi and Marcus getting ready their laptops to play warcraft, or Peiyu with our endless smackings of each other, or big-eyes Jiaying with our loud exclamations of each other's names followed by my *poke* while she does the "punch*, or someone playing the guitar/violin inside, many many many more. So, who or what would it be this time? Could it be that some among us were early? Or would it be a group of juniors that i wouldn't recognise? *opens door* Aww~ it was only Yuanliang... who'd only just arrived before me.. where were the rest? Hahaa :p
Casually chit-chatting with him while waiting for the rest, i browsed thru the photos and albums, wondering at the same time if i should confiscate the whole pack of our photos for my own keeps. NPS clubhouse still smells the same despite being messy and vandalised beyond description. Aww~ the feel of the place. Was actually really glad that i'd reached earlier than the rest, because for the last time, i had the privileged of feeling and seeing the clubhouse slowly fill up with the many people i'm so fond of. I'd only managed a few minutes of playing the guitar by myself in the clubhouse after dinner, and really really wished i'd stayed there longer. Something in me loves and yearns for the company and homeliness of the place itself, perhaps even more so than the company of friends that come with it.
The place had the markings of us all over it. Like the flip flop sign i'd mentioned earlier. I also noticed the unplugged extractor fan in the inner room, remembering with a smile that it was us who'd managed to get them installed (Tianle especially) despite not getting the aircons we'd wanted for the instruments. And i seem to vaguely remember that that one of the two extractor fans was unplugged because it had caused a short circuit of some sorts after i'd graduated. With the mess the clubhouse was in, memories of our cleaning sessions sparked an inner desire to have another spring cleaning session where me and Tianle would virtually throw half the things out as trash... *chuckles*
Going into the music room, i fervently wished that Edward, Tianle, Jinwen and co. were there as well so that we could have our last games of clubhouse soccer. I entertained myself with the thought of organising a last min very last guitar practice there - And as i walked in, kuang was exclaiming to me "Ah Heng! Lai~ Practice!" while simulating taking the stacked chairs to arrange for guitar practice. I didn't mention it this time, but how funny that we still manage to think the same things even after all these years of having graduated from the school and club. At one point, when the music room was empty of people except myself because everyone else were chatting in the clubhouse and along the corridors, i stood behind the table, looking from left to right as though all my guitar 1 to 3 players were there in the seats, and imagined myself conducting another lesson... Emo Heng, hahaa. Seeing both Moira and Kuang there at the end gives me even more sentiments than anyone can ever imagine - They were first people i encountered at the beginning of my life in NPS, and there they were, with me at the very last... How very nice...... :)
6. Last but not least, this is some fantastic violin playing!!

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
05 June 2009, Friday
I've got other things i wanna write about but it's abit late now and i haven't been getting enough sleep of late, so i'm just gonna fill you in on the thing that's occupying my mind most now -> I'm so charmed by this wonderful love song by Jason Mraz! Song's "I'm Yours". Go find the song and check it out!! Or you could listen to the live version here, just skip the first 38 seconds or so of the video though~ What a song to tell someone "I Love You!". Nice and fun!! :)
Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
Well you done done me and you bet i felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that i melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now i'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find Love, love love
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
Ah La peaceful melody
It's your God-forsaken right to be Loved loved loved loved loved
So i won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait i'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so i drew a face and laughed
I guess what i'm saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait i'm sure
There's no need to complicate (Well no no open up your mind and see like me)
Our time is short (Open up your plans and damn you're free)
This is our fate, I'm yours, i'm yours (Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love)
(Repeat and fade out)
----------------------------------------------
Simply Awesome!! Love it!!! ;)

So Nice right!! ;)

little updates
30 May 2009, Saturday
Yesss Barcelona not Man U!!! Wahahahaa~!! :)
I simply love the free flowing soccer that Barca plays...... They even give the feel of attacking when they're defending!! The best example of this was during the 27th to 29th minute of the game... Dunno how to describe, go watch the replays for yourselves!! ;) Barca's passing was simply exquisite throughout the whole game... I hope Arsenal can play that kind of soccer AGAIN someday!! Well they use to do so, and they still try to do so, but they don't come close to the perfect execution of that play that Barca does yet... I'm now an Arsenal and Barcelona fan!!!! :)
------------------------------------------------
After work today (7am to 1pm), i went to East Coast Park with Zhaorong for skating and it was absolutely fantastic!! Although i was abit bai ka due to last night's 3hr soccer, wanted to visit the place and enjoy the buzz and feel of the elements!! As usual, we'd skate to the SAFRA chalet, but today was just abit extra special because of some little exploration that we did... Damn cool man!!
While skating, we noticed that it was Adidas' sundown marathon event day, because there were "distance boards" all along the cycling routes in East Coast. The first one we noticed was at "21km". On and on we skated along our usual route... until we reached the SAFRA resorts, and then we discovered that there was this extended connection to Changi. so we decided to skate on and explore... Wahaa!! Damn nice to skate once you've gotten through the initial slightly bumpy roads... There was this slightly dangerous swerve where people might fall into the sea if they overspeed and can't manage to brake though, *chuckles* really stirred up the laugh bugs in me lahh!! Maybe sometimes i imagine these horrible scenes too comically? hahahaa :p
So goes the story of Heng and Zhaorong's little adventure... From East coast Mac we skated till we passed by the planes and the airport and Changi Ferry Terminal and SAF Ferry Terminal and finally ended our little adventure at Changi Village!! All along was actually following the marathon route in some way.... I think we'd covered about 20++km today!! Fantastic lor~ the best part was really the feel of exploration and not really knowing what to expect ahead of us, so fun!! :) At the end of the skating trip, i rewarded myself with a nice plate of the famous Nasi Lemak, shiok lah!!! ^^
----------------------------------------------
二缺一
Previously a friend mentioned in passing that this term "二缺一" had nothing to do with what i thought it was, but just a nice song of Charlene Choi's!! Oh man~!! How could i not know!! Hahaha :p So..... i'd actually went and found the song and listened to it, really like it sia... Even better that it's Charlene's voice! :) I'd only managed to find the cantonese version though... Wanna to listen to both the Mandarin and Cantonese versions but couldn't find the Mandarin one. I know the cantonese version would be nicer anyway but i wanna compare the lyrics!! It's quite an emo song, so i wouldn't recommend it to heartbroken people, but i find the lyrics nice because they deliver the msg consistently throughout the song with rhyming entire paragraphs. Fantastic!! Here's part of the lyrics just for illustration purposes ;)
每晚回到家里 帶半殘废身軀
入睡床沒法睡 雜念來又去
往往仍记起你 过去共你一起
所经过多得可以编写几次传记
分享我的兴趣 分担我各樣顾虑
在绝处一刻拥抱等於给我圣水
你去後令我发现 笑声有罪 踏步也失据
剩下自己 怎可走到尾
遇挫折孤身撑起 好东西獨独自回味
最極刑是 剩下自己 彷彿单腳企
任我再努力逃避 終须一跌沒餘地
假使我昨日 单身走过去
沒有经历和你 一起的壯舉
今天要我独居应不会 難受到想死去
Yea tmr morning another 2hrs of soccer and an afternoon trip to the library for me!! Hmm~ considering between joining Jimmy, his gf and his gf's friends for KTV or doing some shopping for new clothes!! GSS is here again!!!! :) Gotta go sleep liao, tataz!!
Yesss Barcelona not Man U!!! Wahahahaa~!! :)
I simply love the free flowing soccer that Barca plays...... They even give the feel of attacking when they're defending!! The best example of this was during the 27th to 29th minute of the game... Dunno how to describe, go watch the replays for yourselves!! ;) Barca's passing was simply exquisite throughout the whole game... I hope Arsenal can play that kind of soccer AGAIN someday!! Well they use to do so, and they still try to do so, but they don't come close to the perfect execution of that play that Barca does yet... I'm now an Arsenal and Barcelona fan!!!! :)

After work today (7am to 1pm), i went to East Coast Park with Zhaorong for skating and it was absolutely fantastic!! Although i was abit bai ka due to last night's 3hr soccer, wanted to visit the place and enjoy the buzz and feel of the elements!! As usual, we'd skate to the SAFRA chalet, but today was just abit extra special because of some little exploration that we did... Damn cool man!!
While skating, we noticed that it was Adidas' sundown marathon event day, because there were "distance boards" all along the cycling routes in East Coast. The first one we noticed was at "21km". On and on we skated along our usual route... until we reached the SAFRA resorts, and then we discovered that there was this extended connection to Changi. so we decided to skate on and explore... Wahaa!! Damn nice to skate once you've gotten through the initial slightly bumpy roads... There was this slightly dangerous swerve where people might fall into the sea if they overspeed and can't manage to brake though, *chuckles* really stirred up the laugh bugs in me lahh!! Maybe sometimes i imagine these horrible scenes too comically? hahahaa :p
So goes the story of Heng and Zhaorong's little adventure... From East coast Mac we skated till we passed by the planes and the airport and Changi Ferry Terminal and SAF Ferry Terminal and finally ended our little adventure at Changi Village!! All along was actually following the marathon route in some way.... I think we'd covered about 20++km today!! Fantastic lor~ the best part was really the feel of exploration and not really knowing what to expect ahead of us, so fun!! :) At the end of the skating trip, i rewarded myself with a nice plate of the famous Nasi Lemak, shiok lah!!! ^^

二缺一
Previously a friend mentioned in passing that this term "二缺一" had nothing to do with what i thought it was, but just a nice song of Charlene Choi's!! Oh man~!! How could i not know!! Hahaha :p So..... i'd actually went and found the song and listened to it, really like it sia... Even better that it's Charlene's voice! :) I'd only managed to find the cantonese version though... Wanna to listen to both the Mandarin and Cantonese versions but couldn't find the Mandarin one. I know the cantonese version would be nicer anyway but i wanna compare the lyrics!! It's quite an emo song, so i wouldn't recommend it to heartbroken people, but i find the lyrics nice because they deliver the msg consistently throughout the song with rhyming entire paragraphs. Fantastic!! Here's part of the lyrics just for illustration purposes ;)
每晚回到家里 帶半殘废身軀
入睡床沒法睡 雜念來又去
往往仍记起你 过去共你一起
所经过多得可以编写几次传记
分享我的兴趣 分担我各樣顾虑
在绝处一刻拥抱等於给我圣水
你去後令我发现 笑声有罪 踏步也失据
剩下自己 怎可走到尾
遇挫折孤身撑起 好东西獨独自回味
最極刑是 剩下自己 彷彿单腳企
任我再努力逃避 終须一跌沒餘地
假使我昨日 单身走过去
沒有经历和你 一起的壯舉
今天要我独居应不会 難受到想死去
