First Post of 2007
Its a brand new year! Feels like its really fast, now that i'm just 5 weeks away from finishing year 1... It felt like FOC was just yesterday, and now... WOW, nothing like this! Its been an eventful week, this week though, catching up with old friends and celebrated a few occasions...

X'mas party at Amanda's
It wasn't much of a party though, just a dinner get together for my family and relatives... It was huge... I ate lotsa great stuff, but din get my dose of alcohol this time... Its ok, i'll be legal enough to get some the next time round... I got to try out Need for Speed Carbon on the PS3! OH man, it was awesome! The graphics and stuff, they were so real! What an experience it was!

Kok Thye in SG
My bro from Malaysia was in town this X'mas! I went to Vivo to meet him along with the SPS Ipoh 2004 Gang... We had lotsa fun, though we didn't go to the movies or the arcade and stuff... Lotsa catching up to do, so little time... We had our share of laughs, including his Sentosa Poly... Then we passed by Best Denki and Linus went to try out the electronic drum set... Woah... He attracted quite a crowd there! He was playing it and people were just entertained by his skill (if only i were that musicallly inclined) Then I left them cuz Linus and Rishik wanted to take him jamming... Haiz... Nthn there for me...

Ben Yee
Right after i left the group, i went down to Tampinese to meet Ben, supposedly for tennis... Then we brought 2 batminton rackets, saying it was backup... Yup, we really did need backup, it poured crazily! Settled for batminton then... We shared some laughs, did a lil catching up at the same time... Still was great even though it was just a few hours...

Mum's Birthday
We went to Hotel Intercontinental for lunch! Wee! It was a buffet! We sat there for like 2 and a half hours! Food was just great! Ate non-stop... But the dessert was just awesome! I've never seen such variety before! A whole bar full of dessert! But by the time i wanted to try them, they were serving the last batch already, so i took whatever i could find there, thinking i still could fit them all down my stomach... Never have i thought, dessert could be this filling! Haha... felt so bloated! Its good! needa gain a lil weight...
Then we bought a cake for mum, and since dad wasn't around this year, i paid for it... I told mum to get whichever she liked, but she chose something cheap, mebbe cuz she knew i was paying for it... But my sis told me that she did like those kinda cakes, so it was kinda relieving...

P-J
Awe sec sch bro was back from aussie! He brought good knews that he was accepted for med-school! He's really over the moon about it, and I couldn't be more happier for him! We played tennis... I finally won him! Its been a spell since, ever! Neva beaten him before... He did win me in the set games though... Thought i played good enough to hold off despite my bad form... He joked i had as many double-faults as his aces... I had to agree with that though... I just laughed along...
So i went down to his place to shower and chill out and catch up since i didn't come out to meet him the last time he came back to SG... We played FIFA 05 on his lappy and i was struggling to get used to his controls... Then we watched Friends a lil... It was just hilarious! Missed those nights when i could have a good laugh... I wanna borrow the CDs from him! Then we watched his collection of Liverpool videos... He gave me sorta some history tour of LFC... haha... then i didn't realise i was running late for the SCC concert! I left his place then, walking some distance to the bus-stop...

SCC Concert
I thought i'd come late though... The bus took ages to come! The concert was really great though! To all those who thought it was gonna be lousy, BLEAGH!! Too bad for those who missed it... I met Chin Koon there... He came over to say hi and i almost didn't recognise him... Then i saw he was with Hui Ting, whom i talked to since the FOC! I sat beside her during the concert... She was ditracted by the "pre-concert entertainment" courtesy of a horny couple (well, at least the guy was horny) sitting a row in front of us... The guy took advantage of his girlfriend's loose blouse and pulled her sleeves down to kiss her shoulders... Hui Ting got really distracted by it during the concert and kept nudging me and CK when there was "activity" going on... He giggled there alot about it! Then i went to meet Hui Fen at the half-time interval... We talked behind Hui Ting so she heard everything... And i didn't wanna give the prezzie infront of Hui Ting... So we agreed to meet after the concert... When i sat back down, Hui Ting poked fun at me with "Call me later lah"... It was what Hui Fen told me before she left...
So it was back to the "entertainment"... Hui Ting, haiz...... she's juz too high... even start tugging my shirt... lolx!
Well, overall, i did think it was really worth watching this performance! Shd have cost more than the NRA one i think... :P
Went to meet Hui Fen after the concert to give her the prezzie... Hui Ting was kinda dissapointed her horny couple left... Think she wanted more...

New Year's Eve
It was a really boring day actually, nothing much happened... But it surprised me when mum decided to let me go out for countdown with Ben... So i called Hui Fen along since I was talking to her then and she said she had no plans... It would be twice in 2 days we've met already...
Met Ben for dinner first... We joked alot again at Mac's, targeting almost everything for a laugh... Then we got really indecisive as to where we were gonna go... So i thought we'd head down to Dauby Ghaut to play pool first or something since i was to meet Hui Fen there...
Haiz... got whooped all the way lorh... my pool sucked... Then i almost beat the all time high record for the stress game but just blew it all away... I went out a lil bit to bring Hui Fen in, but later, Ben's pal, Zai (dunnoe how ta spell) decided to meet us... Oh man, i got whooped even harder... Really a bad sight... but i just joked about it as if i didn't care... dun wanna let it ruin my night out... Freakin pool cost me $17.60 lah! Haiz... Nvm lah... I didn't pay Ben for the dinner anywaez, but he can still treat me another time with the remainder...
Then we walked along clarke quay all night... trying to find the pub or club Zai was going... But it wasn't in time for the countdown so we decided to stop somewhere to look at fireworks... Haha... we were so silly, standing at the wrong side... We only got to see the reflections on the building... Well, its my first time out on the stroke of New Year... I'm just happy to spend it with the people i want to... Then the 4 of us continued to find the place, but then gave up not long later and decided to walk aimlessly... We were walking anti-traffic most of the time... See lotsa people on the streets getting high, as well as many policemen keeping things in order... Then we found ourselves taking a narrow route which was just congested with people! It took us almost forever to get out! Then when we finally did, we were blank again! It was not long later when we bumped into Alvin and Charmaine! What coincidence it was! Then Ben met his friends as well... Could sense Hui Fen was a lil dissapointed not being able to meet any of her friends... Then we decided to part ways with Ben and Zai since they had other plans and Hui Fen didn't wanna go with it... I offered Hui Fen my hand to get her up from where she was seating and she took it... We held hands for a while till Ben and Zai couldn't hold their "astonishment" and we let go... Then I decided to hitch a ride from Charmaine's Dad so i could get back... I felt like an idiot once i got in the car! Shouldn't have left Hui Fen there to let her go back alone, even if I knew she was with Alvin! Haiz... I felt i've let her down... I asked her out, then left her out there... Really un-gentlemanlly of me... Couldn't help but worry bout her all the time... Should've asked her to stay over at Charmaine's place or something, at least i know she'd be safe... It wasn't till bout 3 that i knew she got on a cab... Thx lots to Alvin for looking out for her... I slept only at 4.30, when i couldn't wait for blogger to load...

I wanna do a to thank list for 2006... Think i should really acknowledge some people for making this year great... So~

To-Thank List 2006 (In noe particular order)
Ms Shakthi Siva - My Bio and Chem teacher when i was in sec 3... she taught me lotsa stuff about discipline as well as in organizing events and management outside the classroom... She brought me from the little unknown chinese kid to a matured boy who could understand things better and take things in my stride... She was the one who still believed i wouldn't drop out of either Chem or Bio though my grades were pretty inconsistent then... It was her that took me from the quiet boy who sat in council meetings to president of the board who called and pesterd everyone to get their share of work done... I've not regretted being her student one bit...

Mr Ng Chong Jin - My student council teacher who took over Ms Siva when she left for further studies... He taught me the value of managing man-power and plan-b... I've matured even further under him, and it was him and Ms Siva who inspired teaching as a career upon me... Though he did not teach me in any subject, he still cared about my grades when I was in SPS...

Ms Teo Bee Hoon - Don't make fun of her name! She's a really cool teacher who has a great sense of humour! She took alot of time out of her buys schedule to help me in my maths during the critical period of sec 4... I'm proud to say my maths are 2 out of the 3 A2s in my O's cert, though it ain't much of an accomplishment...

Mr Chok Sit Fatt - My A-maths tutor! haha! neva seen any old man as funny as he is! He took my A Maths from the dying F9 to the consistent B's... He encouraged my to study more, especially for his out-of-this-world-test! Too bad i couldn't bring an A1 back for him... He would've been happy...

DAD!!! - My physics "tutor"... He thought me alot about electronics... Something he's really good at! I'm so proud of him! He's always inspired me not to give in to fatigue... Though he ain't have much academic qualifications, I'm so fortunate to have him as a dad... I'm really thankful for his strictness as well, though it makes him a real pain at first... Its kept me on the right track of life, so I could live it out fully... His old fashion mentallity also brings laughter at times... And how he worked really hard to provide for my comfortable life, I'm really ever-greatful for... No one like him, ever...

MUM!!! - She's done more of her share in providing as well, when Dad wasn't really doing much on the outside... She tried hard to make sure things looked alright on the outside during the hard time of the year... I'm really happy for that... her humour has always brightened up my day... Never failed to hold my laughter no matter how bad the day... Its her and Dad that keeps me off the brink of suicide all the time... It's dumb to waste their effort, no matter how many mistakes...

Godpa! - He's given me some stuff my parents won't get me, though i didn't mention anything to him... He's the one bringing me to most of the movies i've watched this year... And he's the one doing lotsa stuff that involves technology for me... It's what he's a master at... He's checked me and my studies, life and stuff, like a real dad, just not as often... I feel I really let him down in keeping our conversations short-lived...

My sis, Cheryl - I wanna shout out that "I HATE STAYING AT HOME TO TAKE CARE OF YOU CUZ U'VE MADE ME MISS SO MUCH OUT OF LIFE!!! AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" haiz... dat felt better... but on the flip side, its taught me alot about responsibility... I think its really important that I miss out now then regret not doing my part as a brother as much as i can now... I'm happy that our age gap is this big cuz i know my influence on her is gonna be big, and it gives me even more chances to learn on discipline... Thx for understanding when i need company and when i need to be alone... No one (i think) knows better than she does... Its alot she can give for being a 10 year old kid... And her funny antics just make her really cute... haha... more soft toys for you so you can keep me happy!

The second pillow on my bed - Yes, its dumb, very extra on a super-single size bed... But its what I've been confiding to alot every night before I started blogging and even up till now, i still do... Ok, its weird for a guy like me, I know, but I'm really happy that this permanently on my bed... Wonder which room and when i took it from... haha...

Mr Ben Tan a.k.a uncle! - He's taken lotsa time out of his busy teaching schedule to play tennis with me... He's taught me alot about broadening my view on current events around the world... They help alot in maturing my thinking and understanding that things always aren't that one-way as i thought it would be...

Mr Matthew Mak - He's one of the best teachers I've had... Maybe i'm lucky to have him for his first semester where he works really hard to make things right... Think he's too good to be a lecturer... Haha... Better as a mentor as well... 1Mo4 is a lucky class... Also wanna thank him for understanding when i fall asleep in the front row of his lecture... Man, i feel damn bad... Thanks to him for my CBO grades as well... My only A+ lah!

Benjamin Yee - yep... always bringing me laughs... I'm always stunned by his creativity... no matter what it is used in... he's showed me how to relax as much as possible... admire how good he is at it... and thanks for making life in SPS so colourful for me...

Paul-Jon Goh - My bro since sec 1! So sad we had a bad spill out at one point of sec 3 cuz he changed alot all of a sudden and i couldn't accept much of it... I've regretted being so childish and not understanding... I've always looked up to him in studies... He's accomplished so much and so well, improving from his bottom of the class tally in sec 1 to the to-be Med-school student now... His high aims has always driven me to do better... And his tennis as well... The power, the mentallity and stuff he's taught me... He's played quite a part in my prgress there as well...

Tan Yong Quan Alvin - My bro in poly! Oh man, for this guy, I feel really guilty, and thankful for him... I'd be lost and a wondering soul in NP if not for him... He's filled up my queries no problem almost everytime and making exeptions for me alot... I feel like an ass being so cold to him for those few weeks... My fault fully... He didn't, and should never have gotten anything like that... And I'm glad he's never moved abit further away in our friendship after i came back to my senses... Thanks man!

Noor Nadjmi Mohammed Noor - I wonder if i got his full name right :P... this guy's got charisma, but sometimes takes things overboard... But it's still great! He completes another part of my existence in NP! Ohoh! I'm gonna be ever thankful for him teaching me how to shave! something my Dad would never teach me! haha... he's a good guy to be around with no matter how bad the day... He keeps his feelings really well, very hard to understand how he feels, other than being tired... He always helps when he can... And lotsa people trust him... I admire him for that... I also wanna thank him greatly for understanding as well when i treated him like trash during our bad spell... Haiz... I've really got to treasure my friends better... I don't get friends like Paul, Alvin and Nadj often... I'm really thankful for them being put into my life...

Darren Yong - This guy what one would call the devoted friend... I think he's one who's friend's-first... He finds out when you're down easily, and always tries to make you feel better... He's a brave guy despite his exterior, and I look up to him for that... For forming the brotherhood when i was hiding alot of my sadness really helped... Thx dude!

Chan Xiang Ling - Mr blur and wols... He's another part of the brotherhood, though he doesn't really like the idea of the room service shit... Still, I'm gonna try to get him into it! Haha... I wanna thank him for being so blur, cuz he's shown me I do need to company when I'm having a bad day... Thanks man!

Joel See Jian Liang - The Ace of Wols! I didn't like this guy at first... GLs showed me he was the total opposite of what i thought he was... He's the funny guy to be around... And also the important piece of the brotherhood room service "establishment"... LOL... He's made sure I feel i belong somewhere... That's really important to me... Thanks!

Stanley Armando - He's my current tennis coach... He's pushed me hard that I improve alot on my game, from power to recovery, serve technique, tactic awareness, physical fitness and even my basic stroke techniques as well... I'm lucky to have entered NP Tennis... He's also very understanding and knows when we're really pushing and burnt out and when we're lazy so he can adjust his training levels...

Jessica Khek - A real company she'll be whenever I'm with her... She's probably the one who sparked my interest for soccer back! Haha... Glory Man United! Luckily we support the same club... She's made me feel i'm not really alone on my first day in NP...

Ng Si Chung - He's the Darren of my life in SPS... always friends first! He's a really dependable guy and people should count themselves lucky if they are working around him... He's done lots, getting out of his way time and time again to do me small favours... Really appreciate him being around...

Cai Hui Fen - The girl who trusts me in teaching her in studies when i'm so blur as well as spend my first New Year's Eve out with me! I really had fun! Yep... She's made me really happy the last few day's of the year, and its such a pity I didn't get to know her earlier... Hope our freindship doesn't just stop where it is now...

Jie Ying a.k.a Mama Cotary - Haha... She's a fun bubble! Alwiz around no matter what my mood is... She's like a all terrain jeep, no matter what ur mood is, she gets along with you... And she's a good team player... Impt in our current GL batch... Makes sure she knows everyone and everyone knows each other so we feel like a big family...

Hmm... that's about it bah... this post took me long enough to do... Haiz... I needa get rest now... gotta wake up early tmr and enjoy the last day of my holis as much as possible! wee!!!
