Expectation

when a romance starts, average reply time of an sms is 2 min or never
when a romance stablised, average reply time is 20 min or never
when a romance stagnant, average reply time is 200 min or never
when romance is gone, average reply time is never...

when a romance starts, we get delighted when we receive the reply
when a romance stablised, we get piss when we dun receive immediate reply
when a romance stagnant, we dun even sms or reply
when the romance is gone, we get piss when we receive sms from the person

Got this from Jave.
It's so funny and so sad.
I hope i'll never experience a stagnant romance.

Love, me.

Love, Me
Collin Raye

I read a note my grandma wrote
Back in nineteen twenty-three
Grandpa kept it in his coat,
And he showed it once to me

He said, "Boy, you might not understand,
But a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none,
But I loved your Grandma so"

We had this crazy plan
To meet and run away together
Get married
In the first town we came to,
And live forever
But nailed to the tree
Where we were supposed to meet,
Instead
I found this letter,
And this is what it said

If you get there before I do,
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you
When my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down,
Darling wait and see
And between now and then,
Till I see you again
I'll be loving you. Love, me

I read those words
Just hours before
My Grandma passed away
In the doorway of a church
Where me and Grandpa
Stopped to pray
I know I'd never seen him cry
In all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her,
His eyes filled up with tears

If you get there before I do,
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you
When my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down,
Darling wait and see
And between now and then,
Till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, me
Between now and then,
Till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, me

Love is a wonderful thing, but is it ever worth dying over love? I might never understand how bad my friend feels at this point. I'm lucky in that relationships have been easy for me, there has never been a point when i felt that i'm unhappy in the relationship, but i do not wish to end it, for i've loved too deeply. Its true that i've not been in many realtionships, but if i were to have my heart broken this time, i'll cry, and stand up and live my life, i would never consider suicide as a way to keep someone's heart, for i believe if i love someone, i would never hurt that person by killing myself, and if my death won't affect that person, that person is hardly worth me killing myself?

Now, i'm going to listen to the song again, and think about how blessed i am to find true love in this day and age, and in the place where i least expect it.

Acceptance

What is acceptance?


I finally got to watch "shrek 2". It has been a lot time since i had such a good laugh. Especially Puss in boots, he really cracks me up. With his over the top ass-licking (and kicking) and puppy dog eyes, and the accent, which señor/señora can resist? Not an ogre that's for sure.

Oh, back to acceptance. What has the show got to do with acceptance? The show shows a form of acceptance that is all embracing. How else would a princess be able to accept an ogre as a husband? And for the King and Queen to show acceptance for them, and for the Queen to accept the King even though he's a frog. And what's the underlying reason for all this acceptance? Love. Sigh, but can love truly conquer all?



American Idol is coming to an end. And it's a show down between Fantasia and Diana. Personally i think if Latoya is in the finals, it would be a much much easy choice. For me at least.

Acceptance in American Idol is a strange and whimsical thing. Note: i equate votes for the contestants as acceptance by the American voters. I mean, talented and beautiful, yet Latoya still got voted off. Fat lips and fat tummy got into the finals, they have the talent, but isn't an idol suppose to be someone you aspire to? So shouldn't they at least look good? And you can tell that i'm not the only one who thinks this way in Singapore, from the smses running at the bottom of the screen (yes, i read them, and i find them interesting.). There are messages who put down one contestant in support of the other. Interesting, so you are supporting Diana because Fantasia looks like a "duck", and you're supporting Fantasia because Diana is "loud and screechy"?

To be fair there are those who try to be politically correct and say that they support because she has a great voice, or that she's a good performer. Yah right, if they made it there, they have the talent. DUH.

::Fantasia won. She's the new American Idol.::

Yup, i started typing during the show, and the results came out as i was typing.

Sidenote: but it is also interesting to see the amount of people who use the text message system as a way to express their love, and those who are so obviously ass licking to try and win the vouchers. The things people will do.

Choices

Today, i recieved the result of the streaming exercise. I managed to get into electrical engineering. Eventhough it is my preferred choice, i am not really all that estactical about it. For a simple reason. I do not wish to become an engineer of any kind. neither electrical nor biological. I'm struggling even with my first year's workload. Maths that i have trouble understanding, physics that i loathe to comprehend. Seriously, i do not think that i'll ever become anything more than a adequate engineer.

I cringe whenever i think of myself as an engineer, i would not trust any product that emerges from my hands, for fear that it will explode in my face even as i'm using it. i chose engineering simply because it is a "professional" degree, not out of any real interest on my part. And that engineering might be able to support my future extravagant lifestyle. And of course, a degree is what everyone works towards. Isn't that what the singapore government advocates?

I'm pretty much a product of the Singapore education system. i work towards the goals that the government wants us to achieve. A Degree in engineering. Sigh. I feel so used. Yet i cannot be ungrateful, for without the government's "help" i probably won't be sitting here typing this. And i would not have the dream of being an author. To bring a little bit of escapism to people's drudge of a life.

Revamp

A new design for my blog. Hee. For those with short memories, above is how my blog used to look like.

TV Shows

It's 2.30 in the morning, and i'm still up watching tv. what am i watching? Remember a show titled "迷離夜"? yup, its now being repeated in the ( very? )early morning. It's quite amazing the type of shows that TCS use as filler programmes.

It does bring back a certain sense of nostalgia, To see the actors/actresses looking so youthful, it brings me back to the days when life was so much simpler, and there was no need to worry about money, life, or what i was going to do with my life.

No matter how much i wish to go back to those carefree days, i can never go back to those days. So i think it'll be more realistic for me to start thinking of ways to live my life?

Sigh, looks like the only place i can find my past is in Television programmes that air after 2 in the morning.

將愛

Finally gotten the Dvd containing all the mtvs for faye's latest album.

Nice, stayed up late just to finish watching them.

Oh yah, gotten some 雞蛋卷.　Happy.

Photos.

Photos from my redang trip, u'll noticed that all the photos of my friends are fully clothed, you wanna see them in bikinis? wait till i get permission, in the mean time, u'll get to see me. *smiles*


Pathway that leads to the beach, the canteen and everything. 


The "mountains" behind the resort. the resort is really 背山面海. 


The pink looking thingys in the ocean are people snorkelling. they are trying to catch a glimpse of the sharks that infest the waters near the island, 


wow. check out the blue blue blue sky. 


With specs. 


without specs. looks much better huh? 


piggy backing miss piggy. hee. she's quite light. hee.... 


lazing in the hammock... at night? haha, actually we were waiting to view our photos, so we decided to laze in a hammock nearby. 


ooooo... sex in a hammock, how kinky is that? 


took this as i lazed in the hammock. hee.... 


Where we had our dinner, quite difficult, since non of us were fluent in malay? haha... in the end choon sze saved the day with his basic knowledge of malay and the enthusiam of the lady serving us. hehe.... 


On the extreme left is the lady who served us and was so helpful. she gave us a lesson in malay as we tried to order, and the most interestin thing was that she didn't speak a single english word throughout the whole thing. Haha, a lot more gesticulating and cajoling took place before i could take this picture, since she was quite reluctant. 


This is the view we had as we ate our dinner, i just had to take a picture. 


Two kitties, cute? haha, i saw them after dinner, probably had their hunger satiated from the left overs of the diners. Interesting that happened? First i saw one kitten lying there, i walked up and started to scratch it. before long, the second kitten, (the ginger colored one). strutted up and gave a look that just says, "i demand the exact same treament that she's getting." and i obliged. i probably looked like a right idiot, placing my camera on the pavement so that i could scratch both of them at the same time. I took this shoot just before i went away. i wish i have a cat for a companion. 

Humans

I realise that different people have different ideas as what constitutes a good time?

Some think that singing loudly through a karaoke system is a good time.

Some think that shouting at the ocean is a good time.

Some think that being bitchy is a good time.

Some think that relaxing is a good time.

some think that a good meal is a good time.

Some think that lazing in the sun is a good time.

Some think that being an idiot is a good time.

Some think that being a know-it-all is a good time.

Some think that being a slob during vacations is a good time.

some think that drinking lots of water is a good time.

some think that getting drunk is a good time?

Some think that not having a good time is a good time?

*Laughs*. look at me, rambling again.

Sigh, i miss the feel of sand underneath. and the sun on my skin and the sound of waves.

AND i do not know whether i'll get a chance to go back there.

A B C

No idea what to use as the title, so i just used the above generic "A B C" as the title. Just came back from Redang Island. The sun was great, the sea was clear, the sand was hot, the fishes were hungry.

I enjoyed the trip as much as i could. The long coach ride through the night was worth it.

But i realised that i no longer want to travel. Or i would only like to travel alone. I think that even the best of friends can run into problems when you have to spend days together.

Maybe its all my fault? i think so, but i'll like to think that maybe it is not. Laughs. Who will ever like to admit that it is their fault?

Maybe what Hui said is correct. We should only visit a place once, especially if the first time was great, subsequent vists might spoil the wonderful memories of that initial visit.

Sighs. I'm not a person who's easy to get along. I get tired of facing the same group of people for too long. Laughs, i'm weird right?

And i realise that a person i thought was a close friend thinks that i'm a sucker. laughs. or maybe i shouldn't be laughing. heh.

Just realized that my choice of title is justified.
I got my examination results.
They're satisfactory.

Sun sand and surf

Won't be posting any thing for the next few days.

Haircut

I hate the hairdresser,

hah, see if you'll ever get my ten bucks again.
Bitch.

LIfe is about....

Life is about...

...having a good time.
...being a fool at times.
...making friends.
...lazing at the beach.
...feeling good about yourself.
...reading a good book.
...seeing the world.
...looking your best.
...achieving your goals.
...giving.
...recieving.
...walking to where you want.
...speaking your mind.
...keeping quiet.
...being a bitch.
...feeling jealous.
...feeling angry.
...smiling.
...sipping a cup of hot milo on a rainy night...
...cuddling up to that special someone...
...without spilling the milo.


Life is about all this and more.
so what does life mean to you?

Pact

Just read an interesting post from this blog.
A quick summary for those who are lazy to go read for yourself. essentially, he asked if you could make a pact with the devil/God, meaning that it can be for good or bad, what would you do?

It got me to start thinking about what i would do.
A few options came to me.
1. To make myself perfect.
2. To be loved.
3. To be rich.
4. To rid the world of the people i hate?
5. To make the world more understanding of the differences between people.

Sigh, it seems that all the things that i can think of is a pact with the devil.

even the last seemingly noble wish is rooted in selfishness.

I guess that i'm just a selfish person like the rest of the world.

Nanyang

The new Nanyang JC campus is finally done.


The gallery


A fountain situated near the main entrance.


Er. the new Admin Block. i wonder if that's the correct name.


The Quadrangle?

Impressions of the new building.
Quite impressive.
But it feels that the architects decided to sacrifice public spaces like the canteen and hall for a greater quantity of classrooms and a bigger Lecture theatre.
I wonder how the college is going to handle lunch and the morning break with such a small canteen.

Weekend

10 Thoughts over the weekend.

1. I'm getting old, i went back to my jc for the "homecoming", looking at the young kids and the new building, i realised that that phase of my life is now over and will never come back again, the lost innocence of that age.

2. I'm only decent looking? Someone commented that i looked decent, only. i wuold have prefer to be described as good looking or handsome. but decent looking?

3. That i can survive on just 4 hours of sleep.

4. That i can't drink too much.

5. That my closest friends have a side unknown to me.

6. That time spent waiting can be fun, and enlightening.

7. That i'm not interested in clubbing anymore.

8. That a person must always consider their actions. otherwise it might lead disastor.

9. That certain objects can trigger certain memories for me. *smirk*

10. That i'm way too free to be able to blog so frequently.

Love

Got this from a friend, touched by it, so i thought i'll share it here.

=============================================
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of
4 to 8
year olds. "What does love mean?" the answers they got were
broader and
deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think?


When my grandma got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint
her toenails anymore. So my grandpa does it for her now all the time,
even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.
Rebecca- age 8

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouths.
Billy- age 4

Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving
cologne and they go out and smell each other.
Kari- age 5

Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your
french fries without making them give you any of theirs.
Chrissy- age 6

Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.
Terri- age 4

Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a
sip giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.
Danny- age 7

Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of
kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My mommy and
daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss.
Emily- age 8

Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop
Opening presents and listen.
Bobby- age 7 (wow!)

If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a
friend who you hate.
Nikka- age 6

Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it
everyday.
Noelle- age 7

Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are
still friends even after they know each other so well.
Tommy- age 6

During my piano recital, I was on stage and I was scared. I
looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.
Cindy- age 8

My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else
kissing me to sleep at night.
Clare- age 6

Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken.
Elaine- age 5

Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he
is handsomer than Robert Redford.
Chris- age 7

Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him
alone all day.
Mary Ann- age 4

When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little
Stars come out of you
Karen- age 7

Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and doesn't think
it's gross.
Mark- age 6

You really shouldn't say "I LOVE YOU" unless you mean it. But if
you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.
Jessica- age 8

And the winner was a 4 year old child whose next door neighbor
was an elderly man who had just lost his wife. When the child saw the
man cry, the little boy went over into the man's yard and climbed on top
of the man's lap and just sat there. When the boy's mother asked him
what he'd said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just
helped him cry."

===================================================

Kids might not have the ability to say what they mean with big words, but they are able to say things that adults would have difficulty expressing.

I particularly like this one:
"You really shouldn't say "I LOVE YOU" unless you mean it. But if
you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget. "

Slacker

Things i did today:
Finished a book
Tanned and swam.
Shopped a little
Listened to a friend play the piano.
Had dinner with friends.
found out where the OCBC building is.
Got to know my friends better.

And finally, knowing that life is great.
and that there has never been a cause to worry.

I'm happy.

Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)

By Garbage

She gave you everything she had
But she was young and dumb
She'd just turned 21
She didn't care to hang around
So when the shit came down why she was nowhere to be found
This life can turn a good girl bad
She was the sweetest thing that you had ever seen

You're so such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms

With your cherry lips and golden curls
You could make grown men gasp when you go walking past
And in your hot pants and high heels
They could not believe that such a body was for real
It seemed like rainbows would appear
Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear
Because you looked just like a girl
Your baby blues would flash and suddenly a spell was cast

You're so such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms

You hold a candle in your heart
You shine the light on hidden parts
You make the whole world wanna dance
You bought yourself a second chance

Go baby go go
We're right behind you
Go baby go go
Yeah, we're looking at you
Go baby go go
Oh ,we're right behind you
Go baby go baby
Yeah, we're right behind you
Go baby go baby
Oh, we're right behind you
Go baby go baby
Yeah, we're looking at you
Go baby go baby
Oh, we're right behind you
Go baby go baby
Yeah, we're looking at you

You hold a candle in your heart
Go baby go go
You shine the light on hidden parts
Go baby go go
You make the whole world wanna dance
Go baby go go
You bought yourself a second chance
Go baby go baby go
Delicate boy
Go baby go baby go
In the hysterical realm
Go baby go baby go
Of an emotional landslide
Go baby go baby go
In physical terms
Go baby go go
Go

Yeah, we're looking at you
Go baby go go
Oh, we're right behind you

Hmmmm

everytime you talk about him,
i'll feel weird.
even though i know u're juz friends.
it does not prevent me from feeling the way i feel.

is this jealousy?
Inferior complex?
a need to please?
Why do i feel this way?

Will i ever stop feeling this way?
can i stop feeling this way?

Sex in asia

A bit dated, but still an interesting read.

check it out.
TIMEasia.com Sex in Asia Home
thanks to TIMEasia for letting me link to their site.
erm wait, they haven't actually given me permission,
but wat the heck?

Fresh air.

Read in the papers today about a guy who wanted to get out for a breath of fresh air.
The problem? He was in a plane when he decided that he needed fresh air.
Go figure.
thankfully, the plane was landing, otherwise he might have gotten more fresh air than he wanted. all 45 ,000 ft of fresh air.

False Alarm

A friend scared me by telling me that his comp has been infected by a worm. He told me that he had norton antui virus running, yet he still gotten infected. he introduced me to a new anti virus software
www.avast.com
went to download, and ran a scan on my comp, thankfully i was safe. no infections found.
Even though it was just a false alarm, i was relieved to find nothing wrong with my computer. Just imagine, all my mp3s, tv series and movies gone. *shudders*

Sick

Unwell
By Matchbox Twenty

All day
Staring at the ceiling
Makin' friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
that I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
and I don't know why

Well I'm not crazy
I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Me,
talking to myself in public
And dodging glances on the train
And I know
I know they've all been talkin' bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think that there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinkin
Somehow I've lost my mind

Well I'm not crazy
I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

I've been talkin in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're takin' me away

Well I'm not crazy
I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Yeah, How I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
(A little unwell)
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell
=================================

Yup, i feeling unwell.

Panda

A little panda came all the way from China to visit, and it decided to stay. It still lacks a name, but i'll name it piggy, cause it reminds me of someone. heee.....

History

A friend suggested that i dig up one of my old writings and post it here. Thinking "hey, that sounds like a great idea", i went to dig out the scrap of paper on which it was written. Now i'm going to describe the conditions that led to the following piece of work. I was in JC then, and i was doing an exam, can't remember which one. It was mind numbingly easy, and i finished with plenty of time to spare. Not wanting to appear over confident by leaving early, i decided to hang around. There really isn't much to do in an examination hall, i did the normal stuff, i checked my work, i glanced around, mentally made fun of the invigilators, etc. Then i picked up a pencil and began to doodle a little and eventually i got down to write some stuff down, amazingly the words just came naturally to me, and i wrote a short poem(?) in the time that i had. So here goes, a product of the Singapore Education system and my boredom.

*erhem*

Dreams
I dream of rolling hills,
and of green pastures,
the foilage of the great forests,
and the deep blue oceans.

And I dream of being an eagle
So i can fly over the hills,
soar over the green pastures,
rest in the great forests,
and fish in the deep blue oceans

Or i could be a wolf,
Now i can climb the hills,
run free on the green pastures,
Hunt in the great forests,
And gaze at the deep blue oceans.

But i am neither, i am human.
who flattens the hills,
builds upon the green pastures,
levels the great forests,
and drowns the deep blue oceans.



Writing this down has made me realised one thing, it is not as great as i think it was. It was better, the way i remembered it.

Stuffed.

Song of the Moment:

At Last by Ella Fitzgerald.
==========================
At last
my love has come along
my lonely days are over
and life is like a song

At last
the skies above are blue
my heart was wrapped up in clover
the night I looked at you
I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known well

You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last
==========================

I'm feeling kinda happy today. So it's going to be a happy post, no complains no gripes. it will just ooze concentrated happiness and love and all that crap. Hell, who am i trying to kid? No matter how happy i am, i'll still have stuff to gripe about.

Gripe One: i can't stand couples behaving all lovey dovey in front of me, not even when they are my close friends. Damnit, do they have to rub my predicament in my face by flauting that they have one another? I met up with a friend and his significant other for lunch at Sakae Sushi. He has just started NS, so he's now in BMT, and suffering from the eternal cough that all recruits have. And the two of them started to "argue" because my friend ordered a pepsi. Long story short, significant other objected, restricted, but in the end still relented. So my friend got to drink his pepsi in the end. They just have to do that in front of me, just as i'm feeling lonely. Damn, they may both be my friends, but i do not appreciate having such things going on right in front of me.

Glad One: went to seiyu, saw a billabong singlet, my friend went to try it on first, ( alright, so i was not the one who saw it, buti look better in it.) then he thought it doesn't look nice. so i decided to try it on, and i liked it, so i bought it. Happilly purchased it.

Gripe Two: In the evening i met up with my friends from Secondary school days for dinner. Was still feeling quite full from lunch, but i felt bad if i went there and just watched them eat, so i ordered Niang Dou Fu. And for the three bucks that i paid, i got a ridiculously small quantity of Niang dou Fu. Not that i was hungry, but i still feel like i've been cheated. I hate food courts.

Glad Two: After dinner, we went to shop around a little, even though i didn't managed to get anything, i managed to try out a few fragrances in Metro. i just went around the display area and tried out most of the available samples there and i managed to gather quite a collection of the paper u use to test the fragrances on(i have no idea what they are called). The funniest thing is that i decided to stick with what i'm using currently, but it was nice to go test and see whether there's anything nice.

Intermission
Interesting Conversation 1:
Gage: this smells alright.
YJ: (after taking a sniff) it smells like a Cab.
At this point i just laughed out loud, think the sales people there thought i was crazy.

interesting Conversation 2:
After trying out a certain brand (can't remember the brand name)
Gage: what brand is this?
ME: i dunno. why?
Gage: Remember the brand so that we won't buy anything from that brand.
And i agree.

Gripe Three: I have friends who will not believe me when i say that i am not interested. Sigh, my army mate, who is now my course mate and a friend from school seem to think that i'm interested in this girl from my class. i am withholding all names to protect the innocent ( namely, me. ). I think that the girl is pretty, and i like her character too, but i just cannot envision myself with her. Simply because i'm in love with another person. Again i'm withholding names to protect the innocent. ( namely the person i love, ) for i have friends who will try all means to find out who the person is, but i'm saying here that i will only tell when i feel that the time is right.

Glad Three: Chomp chomp is opened for business once more, it's now much better ventilated. But the important thing is that i now have a place for great food near my house.

Gripe Four: But there are a lot of flying insects there. One even flew into our plate of hokkien mee. damnit, thankfully we were finishing and there was only a few mouthful left.

Glad Four: It's finally labor day.
