The fucking humid weather recently is getting on my nerves. The rain isn't helping much. Need an air con. BADLY. I think the heat is getting to my skin. GRrrr...

The new layout is nowhere ready. I'm toying with the idea of a new blog. Been procrastinating too much lately. Just too much talk and too little done ... been in absolute contrast to the hectic-ness I'm going thru' just two months ago back in poly when I was still trying to cRAWL thru' my final sem ... life is simply unbalanced

yEps, a new fan fiction is on e way ... hopefully soon, as long as I've finished the very first chapter, I will launch it online together with a cover image accompanying the fic... won't say much for now, will be more on it when I'm ready ...

I know I should be putting this on Ebay. There really is no other better place. But well, I've my reasons for not putting it up there thus, I shall borrow a little of my blog space to host this ...

Selling Teens April 2007 Issue AT ONLY $1.50 (net price)...

You can get the latest issue of Teens at only $1.50, which is half of the price of what they offered at news stand or basically anywhere else...

This issue features Angela Chang in the cover story and also includes interviews with artistes like Show Luo, Gary Chao and Project Superstar 2 Darren Tan. It comes with a Jolin Tsai poster as shown in the pictures. You will get what you see in the pictures.

Magazine is in relatively good condition, pages and poster all intact. Minor flaw, somone from my family cut out a coupon on a particular page but I already taped it back and make it as good as new. So yups, basically not much is affected. I initially wanted to sell this at $2.00 but due to this, I've decided to put it up for sale at $1.50.

I only accept cash upon delivery, no cheques, credit cards or whatsoever. Meet-ups can be arranged at Yishun MRT or Khatib MRT. Timings preferably in the morning or early afternoon.

Drop me a comment if U're interested. ANYONE can buy. First come first serve basis lah. Tabulas or non-tabulas users. Don't just leave your name alone, I need your email also kay. Gime 1-2 days to reply to you. This is quite a good offer. Like said, its sold way below market price, half of it actually. This is a local (Singapore) magazine but features both local and international stars. The posters and pictures are pretty good too. So yups, don't wait ... I will have more good stuff to put up for sale soon ... if the response is gOod, I will open an online store just for this purpose... tata

Life is stuffingly boring. Make a couple of screw ups at work. Damn blurr mi... feel like a newbie sometimes. Actually wished I was one, then lEast I woUldnt look so bad making those mistakes... grrr

On a bright side, I uploaded some pictures today. Changed my friendster display pic for the first time after what seemed like many gazillion years. Realize how infrequently I took pictures, and even fewer pictures r those which I've taken with my friends or classmates. Attribute this to small social circle bah??

Somebody once shared with me his take on friendship, just feel the need to mention this suddenly...

Best friends, good friends, just friends... the lines can pretty much blurr between these few. There can be ppl who spent just a small period of time with U but just turn out to be the most wonderful things to have in life. There r also ppl whom U see for a very long time or even on a regular basis but U just find them more of a chore to spend time with as each day passes (and e same goes for them too).

Nothing much to blog today. Really. Was at home the whole day for a first time since school ended. Was pretty much playing the couch potato in front of the TV and reading a couple of library books due for return nxt wk. Borrrring ... YAWN

Just for the sake of promoting a little fun, I will present to U, if U dun already know lah, U net surfers, that cute lao zha bor (old auntie) from

 Jack Neo's Just fOllow Law has A BLOG  ONLINE NOW ...

WARNING... I M GOING TO DIGRESS ALOT  

oH yar

resuLtz r out

like 2 days before yest entRy??

wEll, jus not in e moOd to blog bout it

i did promise to try to make this a happy and anti-depressant blog didn't I ?

haha, TRY kays ....

hMm, I will keep this short

I did enough to pass, or rather, gaurantee myself a spot on graduation day this May

but unfortunately, not that enough to qualify for the top e Us in Sg

dun ask mi why

the 10 percent vacancies for us poly mates is seriously only for the good and the VERY GOOD

which I happen not to fall into

so yeps yeps

i knw where I stand

complain also no point

but who am I to say

as what the excuse which I m bound to use when asked how I felt boutz my resultzz

I m pretty grateful for what I got at e amount of time n effort which I had pour into revising

what really upsets me R e courseworks

its like, WTF HAPPEN!??

as last minute as thEy r

its all a lot of hard wrk

A LOTTT

this includes 100 percent sleepless nights and many MSN discussions and copious amount of brain zapping research

is what I did truly that irrevelant or issit that i jus happen to have dwnright biased lecturers??

whateva... blame myself, blame ppl, blame luck...

I guess I ve lots to look into if I m to pursue e real reason behind

but in e end, there really isnt any point in doing so

move on, get over it and faced life againz

theres choices to be make, decisions to be carry out and certain chores to be done ...

no more digressINGG

i can jus go on and onzz

poLy did make e bEst

and also woRst of miee

but as much as I complain about this and that throughout thIs 3 years

whICh felt long @ one point but in a blink become over liao

i never really d much' regrets comin' here in e first place

not dAtz i really ve much of a chOice

it make mi realize things bout myself whiCh i dun even knw aboUt

botH gOOd & bad lah

but there r its share of rewards and lessons reaped

dat much, I ve to thank e ppl who ve nurture and mold mi sufficiently to face societyzz

but of course, learning dun stopz here

*looks ahead and smiles*

Nvmz, shall type e entire entry out again

Stupid, stupid, stupid

Had this passion that has been nagging @ my thoughts for quite some time. Think its time for me to brought it up since I've pretty much got all e time in my hands nw. I want to get a GuzHeng and learn how to play it (of course!).

Those who knw mi might tInk i m crazy, with my music life already dedicated to piano and (recently) guitar. Why the sudden interest in string instrument? I too free huh !?

Well, I wana be multi talent, cannot meh? (kua kua kua)

Well, its not really a I-wake-up-one-day-decide-to-do-it kinda thing. Its more like an increasing curiousity which grows everyday, until it cant be contain anymore and I just have to find out how that sleek and beautiful instrument feels under my fingers.

I knw, I knw ... its gona be hard wrk, pain wrecked fingers and stuff but I shall put up with that, and of course a drain on my savings (which a huge part of it is suppose to be for my Uni fees) but I guess its gona be worth it ... playing e guZheng is a world class act kays

its also a matter of chinese pride, being chinese and knowing how 2 play @ least one chinese instruments, pretty cool ritey? (Least in S"pore lar)

Well, enough said ... I shall go GuzHeng hunting by this week and most probably sign up for classes in May

Dun laugh, I might be e next world class act wor

*Ducks as every1 throws eggs*

NoTe: I knew neither the person in e video or whoever that created this piece of work ...I received this link from a fellow friend...  U either enjoy it or dun ... pls do not come after mi for any content U find offensive or disturbing ...

wEll, without further adue, here's e link...

so is the entire poly journey ...

its been an emotionally as well as physically exhausting one ...

fill with regrets and gratification at the same time ...

at times, i look back

and wonder what went wrong wif e things dat r suppose to go right

depressing moments they are

there r also good moments

the cheer, fun and laughter shared with ppl

ppl who i can call friends

and who kinda lasted with mi till e last paper

but how long we can be in touch

and continued to stay e same

dat i really ve no answer to

i ve suffered quite some bit of setback in e friendship department

or maybe its just mi

always taking things way too seriously

but now dat its all over

the release and freedom which i once yearn for

turned out to be less attractive than i imagine

now its e crossroad between deciding and making choices

pretty important and costly choices

education has never been such a headache b4

i m praying hard for a place in any of the top 3 U s (NUS, NTU, SMU)  in Sg ...

As much as I knw a poly student's (an average one I might add) shot at these institutions is pretty low ... think 10 percent versus the 90 percent strong population from the much academically favoured (and elite) A-level holders (no offence ) ... not to mention foreigners and scholarship holders ... we r pretty much headed for damnation

however, it doesnt hurt to apply, i guess every application is a chance, be it a very weak one, its better than no chance ritez ...

I knw i m contradicting myself, but yah, if i m advise any other poly student, i would still say the same thing, apply first, worry later...

there r still private schools for us Nus-Ntu-Smu rejects ... aint there

the final sem results, mother of all results, will be out this thursday

or if they r fast enough, it will probably be ready by tmlz

there r no gurantees on how it ll turn out to be

'e stakes r way too high tis time round

another shot at e semester means more $$, embarassment and of course, bye bye to a diploma (for the time beinG) and e grand university dream ...

apart from not being able to join fellow peers for e graduation ceremony in May...

to say i m not scared would be a total lie

i already tink i lost e chance of getting my grade 5 piano cert

after how i screwed up e exam process (another story which I m not going into)

but that is pretty much secondary to passing my final sem exams and securing a diploma by this year

i ve no intentions to see any of e same teachers or passing by any of the already more than familiar lecture hallways and tutorial classrooms

as much as they held fond memories for me there

i ll rather set foot into my poly institution of 3 years as visitor the next time rather than a student, or an undergraduate

Hope the next time i blog here, its good news that I blog about

this blog has been taking a rather depressing downturn lately

for whatever reasons i shall not say

no point lingering onto those bits and pieces of good things gone bad memories

just for a refreshing change, i ve gone for hair rebonding finally

a first for mi throughout all my years of teenhood

speaking of which, i m bidding farewell to it soon

the number 20 never seems as near as now

but i shall enjoy the final months of my 19-ness to its very end

if im  in the mood, i will put up pictures of my new look in friendster

enough said, shall go sleep nw

on a side note, the new blog song is by Fiona Fung

If u tink it sounds familar, its because Joey Rong Zhu-er sung its canto as well as mando version titled My Pride ( or Girls with Wings) ,,,

but the english original version, despite identical to Joey's one, is pretty much performed with a style of its own, sweet, innocent and slow, like an infant taking its baby steps...

 Forever Friend

Performed by: Fiona Fung (http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/12279099.html)

I believe I can love
You give me your loving care
I believe in what we are
I don't know where I would be
Without you staying with me
Sometimes, I'm lost in misery
You will take me all the way, I'm not afraid
Oh, you and me, hand in hand
To everywhere amazing
Be my friend, oh friend
We are forever friends
Oh baby, you give me all the love I need
You are the only one
I believe I can love
You give me your loving care
I believe in what we are
You will take me all the way, as day by day
Oh, you and me, hand in hand
To everywhere amazing
Be my friend, oh friend
We are forever friends
Oh baby, you give me all the love I need
You are the only one
[music]
You will take me all the way, as day by day
Oh, you and me, hand in hand
To everywhere amazing
Be my friend, oh friend
We are forever friends
Oh baby, you give me all the love I need
You are the only one
