House is in the House

See, i have 2 weeks of hols and while other people are studying for their 2 kyuu, i'm like on a tv marathon. animes, movies and recently english dramas. One of it would be House. This certainly goes on top of my top 10 or 100 or whatever charts. Why is it so great?
That's cause the lead guy, Gregory House is such an ass. He's a diagnostician. He's damn good at his job. He has 3 talented docs working under him. Each week, their face with a medical crisis. They find the cause and cure it. Sounds simple enough and truthfully, that's all there is to it. But i did forget to mention that House( who's wonderfully played by Hugh Laurie) is a psycho, limp,drug addict and huge sense or cynicism and sarcasm.The docs under him is one a rich ass' son, one a black juvenile and the other, just a really really hot chick.His friend doc has marriage problems and seems to be his ONLY friend. then there's the director of the hospital. who's a lady.Add all this interaction and you get a very nice chemistry. House is always shooting down his subordinates and when Chase( the rich white ass' son) betrays him, he lamost literally plays and toys with him. oh, he's a great doc but he hates patients. Sounds weird right but he just like puzzles, i.e medical illnesses. That's why he always get the weird cases.
throughout the drama, they are plenty of unmissable and lovable quotes. e.g ' All patients lie.' or while refering to a pregnant woman ' You have a parasite inside your stomach'It's sarcastic humour, kinda like scrubs except scrubs is more from a 1st person's view while this is 3rd. This drama can be seen as the middle of scrubs and e.r, both which are equally great in it's own rights. This drama just carved out a niche in the overly crowded solve the mystery dramas. so definitely recommended to anyone, unless u're an overly sensitive guy. He does make some remarks about blacks or fat people but it's all in the humour and doesn't really step out of bound.
Next post, 24 maybe? been watchin too much dramas!

101 to look at Girl's Panties!

not for girls to read.. but actually this is just a load of crap..So, on to the story about me and Yang Kuang bringing 9 crazy Japanese guys around KL city( more like Petaling st.) They're pretty crazy from the way they dress to their attitudes, definitely not the normal poilte shy ones. Their hair was sharper than Goku's and with their towel+cap combo, it was pretty tall. and on to the bling bling, everywhere from piercing to rings and necklace. one guy did say ' my dad's working for the yakuza' and i do believe him to a certain extent. Yang Kuang and i thought we might actually die before the day finish but as they say,' we shouldn't judge the book by it's cover'
they're actually pretty nice and kind and generous by offering me a smoke:Pwhich of course i rejected!well, i was mainly their translator here and bargainer when they're trying to buy stuff in petaling st. cant understand y they wanna buy knock offs just cos they're cheap...
din ask them too much about japan but i understand they like looking at girl's undies! i can help it too especially in a school of 200, they are 140 girls with micro mini skirts! they even gave us a demo at bukit nanas monorail! just showin how extreme they were!
just hope that when i go there, i wouldn't be confronted with people like them are i would end up wasted my whole life:P

Malaysian culture?? so it is to everyone's despair

Snatch thiefs, pick pockets and robberies have become part and parcel of our lifestyle here even though no one wants to admit it. Sure enough, it happens everywhere, even in Europeon countries. Still, this problem seems very common here , especially when it has happened to two of my teachers in the span of a month. Furthermore, they are foreigners and even they have taken this as ' malaysian culture', not making too much fuss about. What I didn't like more was that both of them were ladies! one is entitled to be my grandma even! while the other, was a pretty 29 year old japanese girl and they had the balls to even kick her! talk about malaysians being kind and friendly! such hospitility !( Those form ppktj whould know who i'm talking about, while the rest would not have a single idea about what i'm rambling about here!)
Over the year, many people i know have fallen victims to this. I'm not excluded either. Why do people steal? Is it because their poor? But surely other people aren't there? Maybe it's from the thrill? That i may be able to comprehend but it's unethical ain't it?( though 'unethical' is a relative term)Whatever it is, i sure don't blame the police for not doing their jobs. It's almost impossible for them to be everywhere. I blame the nature of the country itself for the past 20-30 years, where everything outside just looks good, sugar coated yet the inside is rotting. Just like corruption itself, this problem has been around for the long until it's considered a norm! No simple remedy can cure this illness, only in the long term actions can be taken, which is through education? I have my doubts on it but it is the best bet. However, our edu system is not suited for it. The truth is, every little change can make a lot of difference but what changes are needed, no one actually knows. Trial and error would be good but haveing lost 20-30 or even mroe years on it, we don't have much time experimenting anymore. At this rate, KL itself would become another Jakarta, Bangkok or Manila?Reality or just my imagination?

Pd Sanctuary

Well, it's this time of year. This year instead of doing in a jungle resort , we were doing it at a beach resort. But, where was the beach? Anyways, it was our annual psycho course, this time at Port Dickson Sanctuary.
If i'm not mistaken, this course was almost the same as what my senpais had last year, except for the venue of course. Did i enjoy it? Did i change after all the motivation ' mojo'? Well, i definitely don't feel much different or neither have i transformed to an 'A Star student' too. For such a renowned speaker throughout malaysia,brunei and singapore, i really don't know who he is!( not that i know any famouse self help gurus anyway..)was he good? well, for the general masses and this group of people, i would probably say it worked wonders . Why? That's cause the touched on poverty and the parents line to make you study? But in the end, if you're going to study for that thing, you're gonna suffer... at least in my point.
So, he was trying to make us cry..he did actually in most cases, except i was the unsensitive ass here. But i was quite surprised that he did touch a lot of people( at least during a limitied time..) Then, he was talking all about mind and so on and so forth. Don't really remember much but i'll give him this one credit. i rarely slept. It's a major major thing cause i almost always sleep when i hear someone talking about all this nonsense. Bottom line, how to study, for what purpose to study, only you yourself can find an answer. There's no universal one.
So, that was probably all the bad stuff i can say about.. which is alot actually but i just chose to shorten it. Oh yea, there was one more.. COCKROACHES! must say it was pretty pretty huge like maybe 6 to 10 cm!and there were like 10 of it in my friend's room. summore, that guy got the balls to stomp them with his smelly shoes.. such cruelty....
Anyways, on the the good part, planes, boats and dirt! see, one aspect of the course was t build a model palne that could fly.. it flew but we didnt win, sad to say but really, it was fun. We noticed that all the physics knowledge we tried to apply was just a waste! next was kayaking! i was the only one using a single seater one( so proud of myself!) haha, but was really tiring and being my first time paddling it, it was pretty tough. was fun though, goin round and round and round..so next, on to dirt n mud! was more like a scolding actually cos some od us didnt wear the required shirts during the 2nd day , so the 3rd day some guy were scolding us and sent us to a mud filled beach. It was great! very cold and sticky and mushy, like clay:) OH ,about the beach.. it was like 20 mins away:P
That was it? about so.. we did do a presentation which i was very proud of my group! semi matrix style drama.. was abit messy though. not enough time to practice(excuses..)
so that's it i guess.. cya soon...

Destiny

Here's my review on Gundam Seed: Destiny though it's not complete yet.
Well, genreally it's about an ultimate evil guy with plans to create a world, where everyone is born with a destiny, much like gatacca if u;ve watched the movie. This is done through alterations of genes. So, the good guys will go and stop them? Yea, it's pretty that much straight forward.
However, the way the story's told non-linearly, which makes it quite interesting. It starts off with the Zaft camp, with Shinn Asuka as the main character. Azuran's around too but Kira is barely to be seen. In fact, he doesnt even fight until eps 25? For those who didn't watch Gundam Seed, Shin might be considered as the protagonist here but i still think Kira's the one. The antagonist is Dunnidal, Zaft's Chairman, yet again..( BIG SPOILER here..)So, Shinn and Azuran( for quite a while) are being manipulated by the chairman. And there's Rey, another Fraga clone or something. Oh, Fraga's still alive!( big big spoiler...) but he's like got amnesia and is on the Earth side fighting the war. Any other spoilers?:P
Now, to my thoughts about this series. First and foremost, the mechs, gundams. I'm pretty impressed. The Zaku's look awesome and there are so many versions and customizable ones. Lunamaria's is pretty cool. The Gundams though, are like recycled stuff from the 1st season. so Strike's still there.. rouge strike actually. and impulse is awfully similar to it too. strike freedom is freedom + strike. infinite justice is justice.. legend is like providence .. destiny.. well, reminds me abit of shinning gundam from cant remember wat series d. the coolest thing maybe be destroyer, a giant mobile suit.. and maybe akatsuki( red moon) belonging to cagalli then fraga. It's golden though:P
Characters, next. All from the last season are still around. New ones are like dunnidal, rey, shinn and lunamaria. All of them have a depth and they're quite complex, which makes things interesting. Cagalli faces her toughest challenge as representative of Orb while Kira and Azuran have doubts about the war and what they're actually doing. The strongest character is still Lacus. She's the one that keeps the group together and she's actually quite touching.
I would say the themes potrayed in this series is probably their selling point. As from the last season, war is the major theme. The series is trying to prove that there aren't any good or bad sides in war.everything is bad. war ain't black and white and they're lots of grey points. This was strongly potrayed in the series, even though i doubt kids might understand it.( maybe adults too) Maybe parents should watch this with their kids and educate them. Think it'll really be helpful.
Running out of time to write . So i'll conclude. Give it an 8.5 rating. Sorry btw, for not posting anything in such a long time:P Cheers!

Friends?

Why can't a girl and a guy just stay friends? Just because they seem close, it doesn't imply anything. Yet, most people don't know the meaning of close. Yes, I agree that i'm close with her but why can't people just see it as a friendly relationship and not an intimate one? Just like Kelly and Alex, even though i do disturb her quite abit but i believe they are just very good friends! Why can people of the opposite sex just stay friends? Honestly, i've got almost as much female friends to the male counterparts. If people noticed that i was close to her, they should see me with other girls! There's Angie, Happy Birthday, by the wayyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would say I'm pretty close to her even though there's no sparks or butterflies or whatsoever. Then there's people like Steffi or Dina, whom i treat as equals with my guy friends! The thing is, female friends offer a different perspective from guys. Both would have their pros and cons... so for those thinking that only single sex friendships, you're really losing out man:P
A bit short eh?? Next , on to suicide! Time is of the essence, 10 mins left! Really, I can understand why people would want to kill themselves as I've thought about it. Deep emotional turbulence, psychological pressure, etc, etc.. sucks really but I've realized that killing yourself is only being irresponsible( which many people are anyway) and it hurts those that love you most! Nothing and i mean nothing is worse than hurting those close to your heart! Furthermore, u're only running away from your problems, not solving it. All of this may sound very cliche but it's the truth. One last thing, after hitting rock bottom, you can only rise but if you're dead, how are you able to achieve that? (Unless you rise to Heaven but according to Christianity, u go to Hell!) Which is kinda harsh.. but no one has the right to take anyone's life including one's self except God. Made my point eh?
That's it for now, just wanna say Sweet 19 eggy Birthday to angie again!! miss u so so muchh, was really nice to talk to u again today!! will be waiting for u to come back kl, so that we can go lepak again!!! ciao!!

oSuShi!!

Last Saturday, i went to my teacher's house, Yoshida Sensei along with 3 other friends to learn how to make sushi. In short, it was tough the way Japanese do it. Lots of steps that can get pretty complicated.
Let's see, the essence of sushi, is the rice! Must never ever get it wrong. How to cook, mixture of vinegar and sugar and etc, etc.. So we were poor people, so we didn't use any expensive fish like tuna or salmon even for that matter but i realised it goes well with squid too! and, yoshida did have a bit of squid sashimi which really rocks! I really wanted to make nigiri sushi and i tried. She taught us how to make it. And trust me , it's damn hard. Lots of experience and practice needed to not master, but be able to do a decent one. Press to hard and the sushi becomes hard, too soft and the whole thing might break apart. Making makis or sushi rolls on the other hand was simple but tasted really really good( Kelly it's not my fault you weren't in hostel on Saturday. who asked you to go back home:P) Other than the rice, making egg rolls too seemed like a challenge!! Too hard to explaain it here without pictures but it basically consists of rolling thin layers of eggs.(duH right?) Really had fun that day and made so much sushi till i was bloated! 5 of us could not finish eating 1 kilo of sushi.
In conclusion. this cooking exercise was a huge success. The four of us have agreed to open a stall , if the hostel hosts the entreprenuership carnival like it did last year. Gonna earn $$$$, hopefully anyway. It ain't expensive if you use the right stuff! That's all for now..
Next issue: Suiicide or maybe what's wrong with a guy and a girl just being friends?!( Kelly, u know what i'm talking about here!)

Fadersss....!

Went to watched the Faders at atmosphore last saturday! well. i was being dumb for going there so so earlyyy... but after that everything was G-Reat..! ok ok, for all those who don't know who they are, they're these trio girl rock band from the UK. Very British music, which ain't a bad thing really!In actual fact, before that day, I've neither heard of them or heard any of their songs!! It was only through diGi, who were giving away tickets that i went.
So what were they like? very entertaining i must say. A bit similar to Avril but much heavier and less of that 'cool' attitude. Credit must go to the drummer( can't remember her name!) but she was really rokcing on the drums. The lead singer, molly was alright in the vocals and has reasonable guitar skills but i wished she had played mroe riffs and solos herself instead on relying on the background music. The bassist was great too, and she was really hot too:P Besides the heavy rock, they do play a few slow rock songs which were quite nice. Overall, their music, while satisfying doesn't have the impact of a Super super great and deep and meaningful song. It's refreshing though. They're still young being only around 18, so they do have time to mature and really hit it off! have they last long than an one album stint or break up after massive success...:P
Oh, that day, i was shocked that the Digi invite included a greet and meet session. Must say that they were really nice in person, and hot:P they haven't achieved 'celebrity egoness' yet. Got their autographs on my free copy of their album. and some photos which i'm still waiting to be sent to me!! Blueks! Really hope they make it BiG, then my album would really have a high value! That about concludes everything but i do hope DiGi organize things like this again!
Next post: Sushi for Dummies!

Bon Odoriii

It's been a pretty long while since i've wrote anything, not that there are much readers anyway!!
my life's still my life and i'm not dead yet .... for now at least and it's just about the end of an almost hectic crazy killing week..
Bon Odori was the start of it all, which was last Saturday by the way. For those who has no idea of what it is, it's a Japanese Mass dance festival to celebrate the dead?( Correct me if i'm wrong). Well, they have here too in Malaysia, in Selangor , Matshusita Sports Complex. It was reported that there were 34,000 people but seems too much to be true!! Anyways, I was a little disppointed i couldn't get to wear a yukata this year as it was limited and i lost..:P However, I spent the entire day recording the event, so it was for the better! I must say this year was different from the last, the feelings and the atmospehere and everything. This year, we actually talked more with the teachers, in my case, mock their food on how bad it was, which was kind of true. Didn't get to socialize as much with the kohais as i hoped to. everyone was like missing. I was behind a video cam anyway, so it was pretty hard to dance and film at the same time!!
Dances were pretty fun and the performances were great! i liked the Old people dancing, really show class. Ok la.. my UTM friends did put a pretty heck of a show too:P but the 1st even stole the limelight! no offence:P Do i have more to say, probably not..
This whole week was a bunch of sucky bloody and killing tests.. gonna kill me in the future!!!!!!!!!!!! bluEks! but whatever, what's done is done and I better get on with my dull pathetic life, so i say..
anyways, next issue's preview, The Faders, yes, i'm going to see them on Sat even though I've not even heard any of their songs!! and Sushi making next week with a badminton competition! speech too? damn, another frustratingly killing week... tata..

commune With Nature-Taman Negara

Jungle...was it a jungle? pretty so...big tualang tress...humoungous i must say and the greenery and the smell of nature...Well, actually there wasn't that smell of freshness and sweet air:P so here's the schedule and what we did and bla bla bla... kinda boring, don't you think too? but the trip was enjoyable even it'll sound pretty pretty lame on writing..
Let's see, we, the students of PPKtJ departed with 4 teachers, 3 of them japanese at around 10 to Taman Negara.Journey was looooooonnnggggg and dull but gave me time to play my new Game Boy game, Fire Emblem:The sacred Stones:P Fun Fun gameeeee!! but that should be in another entry..After 4 hours or so, we reached there! and to my disbelief, Taman Negara was..was.. was a village!! i always thought we would be staying in the jungle but the motel was outside on the outskirts and to go to the jungle, we'd hafta cross a river by boat. the motel.. was 2-3 times better than i expected except there was a diaper left in the toilet which made the whole room stink for the whole duration of my stay!Food sucked badly.. and every meal was a variation of curry:P..
so, on to the palce.. this first day ahh... kinda sucked.. there was d swimming in the river, which was kinda fun.. got a taste of how strong river currents can be...and the danger too.. the night activities were were were horrible... there was this nightwalk thing where we could supposedly see animals from a watching place..well, i did like the trip to the watching tower though. Most of us didn't bring torch lights , so it was like pitch pitch dark! and i almost fell *shrugs* so, on to what we saw. some say the saw a deer but other than that the only thing everyone say was a pair of eyes!!then there was the optional night safari which i paid rm 20 for it!! The only thing that was good for was the breeze riding behind a truck! We had the thinking that we were going into a jungle to see animals but they brought us to a palm oil plantation! and all i saw(because i was half asleep) was a bull and an owl but the rest didnt see much other:P
so kinda suck for the first day eh? so how bout the 2nd day?? it was great, real great..( ain't sarcasm here by the way) in the morning was a jungle trekkng session. While there was a path for us, it was still kinda hard with the slopes and fallen tress( we were trkking up a hill.. 343 mup)and the view from the peak, while not WOW, was at least pleasing to the eye :D next on the list was the canopy walk.. fun fun!! i would want to go again...given the chance. It was made of ladders and planks( easier than the wires one i went at the kursus thingy). However, it was pretty high up and the distance was 500 m!! that gotta be something eh? i really enjoyed looking at the forest from up there. the bridge was shaking too, which was a good thing. I heard Matsuse Sensei was pretty freaked out though:P
Now,I'm really getting pretty lazy to type, so i'll cut it real short.. Other than that, there was a visit to Orang Aslis which was pretty cool. Hand made fire and blowpipes, really authentic even though kind of modernised already.Yet, they seemed the most genuine people i've seen so far. Then there was the 'rapids shooting' which was actually just a motorised boat speeding up stream. It was fun but the disappointment was there. Well, that's about it as night time we had a bbq and we left the next morning after breakfast! A trip concluded, THE END

Uniquely Sinapore,revisited 2005

Almost exactly 1 year,a year after i left singapore,a place where i've had some good times there!Even though it was onyl a short stay, this trip is one that i porbably won't forget for a while, for what was bad and what was good.I must say I've learnt quite a new few things even though I know the place pretty decently well.
So,let me start off with some of my worst decisions that i made in my entire life!!trust me, it was pretty dumb, stupid but probbably that's who i am. Well, on the friday embarking down on the trip, my first stop was JB. my mom wanted me to find auntie Mei Ling first as it would be even darker and later when i reached Singapore. My other option was taking a midnight train down and reaching there in the morning(which should have done!!)so, on that fateful friday, i bought a ticket, who's bus company i did not know...(MISTAKE 1) This was so as other companies had their times later. So, when i boarded the bus, i gave auntie Mei Ling a call to confirm with her about her picking me up later that night. To my horror, she FORGOT( i did confirm with her the week before:P) but i guess it's normal as people do forget stuff. However, if i knew this would happen i would have taken up option 2!!! but I've bought my tix d so wat to do.. so she asked her friend to pick me up.( very pai seh leh!!)
Now,s here the biggest mistake of my trip, being sleepy and hungry and the need to go to toilet!! And i assume to much anyway. So the bus was off down to JB, departing at 6.30 pm?3 hours later, we reached Yong Peng...I needed to pee then and i haven't eaten anything since 12??was damn hungry then..so i went down!!! to my horror,my horror!!! the BUSS was just dropping people off!!!SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i did ask the driver whether we were having a break and i thought he did say 'yes' but...................*dieded* so i'm left in yongpeng..around 200 km from JB..without one of my luggages. Luckily, i brought my knapsack down with me( my passport, mp3 player, cam, etc was inside!) But my chargers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Those were in my other bag....bleh...later, i'm going to tell you how much it costs... so how did i get fromYong Peng to JB?by CAB... guess how much it costs...???! 4000 YEN?? around there.. convert yourself.. and firgure it out..It's hard to talk about all this sad stuff.... argh.,.. makes me kinda angry and sad all over again...From this moment on it's going to be HAPPY HAPPY STUFF!!my happiest moments were in sing itself
So it's sat morning and i'm in sing! i've met up with aunt loretta, where i'm bunking in with.Her two sons are by far the most contrasting siblings i met. One's an engineer and one deals in finance and investment? 1 drinks wine while the other whisky.1 likes classical while the other more to heavy metal. etc and etc.. I met up with her in city hall mrt and had lunch at raffles place.Then I had to go shopping for clothes!! (Everything from shirts to underwears!)i did buy an East India pants for only 20Sg dollars..quite worth it. After that I went to Golden Mile Complex to get my bus ticket back.This TIME, i'm getting a trustworthy company:P Then then. when back to her place to have a rest and a BATH!!so time flies a while.. and his youngest son invites me to go with him to his office. By the way he works for GIC.. a gov related company which actually wields more investment power than Temasek ...scary.. The office was COOL!!! half the building was theirs.. 50+ stories in all.. the got a damn good pool table to play around and the gym is huge!!! Some more, drinks were free and snacks too!(he did say though having all this perks meant a lower paycheck..)After that... it's off to hunting down for my chargers.. and the obvious palce to go was Sim Lin Sq.! First stop was to get my cam charger.. being the easiet.. the shop sold it to me for 90Sg.. retail price. Could have been cheaper but i wasn't in the mood to bargain anymore...Next off was for my LG handpohone and my Creative mp3 player.. LG is a hard model to find so i wasnt surprised when i couldnt find any... but creative man..(it's a sg brand) .. they don't sell any accessories in the whole bloody complex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one salesman suggested i go to their hq all the way in JURONG but it's closed and won't be open until..TUESDAY! tough luck...That was around the evening d but i've yet to meet any of my friends.. WHY? cause they were all having COLLEGE DAY....so..the appointment was at about 6. I decided to drop by at the hostel, Oldham Hall(OH) and it was wierd going back in as a visitor...i finally met Ivan, Eric,Victor,Jason after a bloody year, while jonas and ben i see more often. Therest were having some AB camp walk kinda thingy...sucks eh?? Ben decided we go down orchard to play DOTA!!!haha.. so we did but guess wad.. the place was so packed that waiting time was probbably an hour!!Jonas, Eric and I had later plans to watch the FA cup final clash between Manchester United and Arsenal. It was at our usual place,Chjimes!Nice place for watching football.they brought a couple of juniors down too and one of them is an Arsenal fan too!(Last yr, i was the only one..VS the rest.. now atleast got a companion:P)match was only so so..Man U should have ended it when they had the chance but life's just unfair ain't it?Penalties were as exiting as ever and Lehman made a supoerb save!I had a great time without any alcohol involved(chjimes is a pub by the way). It was around 1 am when i reached back and after a hot shower i sat down to drink a lil water.I then had a good chat with aun't Loretta's older son, Alan. How old I'm not sure but he's an electrical engineering working as a lecturer at Notts Uni branch in Sing.He must be the most interesting guy i've met this trip down( someone whom i don't know). 1st thing he said was offering me a beer!It seemed pretty hard to turn him down so i had to have one. A choice between Asahi or Carlsberg, Having tried Carlsberg before, I decided to go for Asahi. It was smooth and was quite nice.(it costs 4 bucks a can.. what do you expect?)He then started taking out his bottle of cognac, was it? Can't really remember myself. He called that cheap whisky and invited me later for one too!!I was really curious how strong it was so i gellfully accepted.Damn, it was strong and this guy was just drinking it down like water. It was really nice with coke though. The coke covered all the stiffness while the whisky added this smoothness to it.really complements each other well. We had a long good chat for 3 hours?? Pretty long time for a guy chat eh? well, apparently his ex-girlfriend was a japanese and he's spent a couple of years there. That was enough content to last the night. What he said was like what other people say about japan. I must learn how to drink. Friends there are shallow?It's expensive and etc,etc...He even asked me to learn how to smoke, as a social advantage!He doesn't smoke by the way but according to him, this is an easy way to find friends:P Well, rest assured, I'll never smoke, hopefully. Drinking i can accept though.We talked mainly along this line and despite the age diference,I could ask him anything. Maybe it was his 'anything goes' attitude. This was a very direct guy and he'll say what he feels usually.It was all fun chatting up this late and at 4, Quill was showing! I was so tempted to watch but... considering i had onyl 2 hours of sleep the night before... I'd better turn to bed before i faint the following day!
A bit too long for one paragraph eh?So, I woke up at 8.30? I had to go back to hostel at around 10 am.It's around an hours ride away:P Up to then, what was I going to do I still wasn't that sure. all i know I was supposed to have breakfast then go shopping!Apparently the rest were still sleeping, so it was only di and I and Irene!! I forgot to even contact her. didn't even thought of doing so but it was ncie to see her again! We went to orchard and i bought my hp charger.. This time it was 70 sing!I'm going to tell you later on how i'll regret buying this charger. Anyways, it was afternoon already!U know what did means?STAR WARS!! hehe, ben bought tix for me at shaw. There were another bunch watching at the same time but at cathay. Kinda wierd right? Two gangs at different places.So, what did i think of it?It was as expected, it did reach a certain level.The beginning was a bit dull in it's fight scenes though. The fight betwwen Count Dooku and Obi Wann and Anakin was really bad..really bad. Acting was also before par, Natalie Portman and Hayden notably to blame.The one good actor was probably the Emperor himself. He showed how an evil and twisted guy should be like.Overall, the movie was not perfect but enjoyable. The plot at certain times even seemed forced on.by the way, the cineplex at Shaw was huge! Bigger than any i've seen in Malaysia here.After the movie, it was off to esplanade!! AJC's Rhapsody 2. The only thing i wanted to look out for was actually villia! (p.s: Eric,if you are reading this I don't like her:P Don't start a new rumour in OH.We're just good friends.)Rhapsody 2 is by the way a concert by my ex jc's band and chinese orchestra. They were both up to standard but the band did better this time than the last. Less notable flaws.CO was incredible except for that 20 min piece!!Don't you think that's too long??Note that at this time we've yet to eat anything since lunch and are dying of hunger now:P We wanted to go burger king but we ended up in McDs.Supposed to be at Raffles Place but got lost and ended up in Clark Quay.( So technically, we didn;t get lost) That was the end of day 2( at this point, i'm getting lazier and lazier to write:P)
Day 3 was a bit of a rush. My initial plan was just to spend it with Vilia but Di insisted on going breakfast.So after rescheduling, i've decided to meet vilia at 7 and the rest at 9. Alan called me crazy for going out so early in the morning and he probably was right.I couldnt make it back in time if i were to catch my bus at 12 so i brought everything along with me. Alan was the only awake then and he sent me off. His last piece of advice was probably disturbing to me.'Friends are there to be made use of but you must make sure that you're used too.'He went on to say that having a few friends is just enough. He's probably right. yet, I still think of all my friends as friends and.... Argh, don't know how to explain it.Maybe in another edition.So it was of to Bishan to met Vilia( For those who don't know her, she's my indon classmate and probably the only one i still keep in contact with besides the scholars) Jon called it a breakfast date but don't you think a date at 7am at McD's abit wierd???Nothing else was open at that time:PSo we just practically chatted and talked about our lives and so on.She's still the same as whe I left. Before we parted, we wanted to take a pic together but there wasn't a suitable place! Summore it didn't seem like anyone would help us take a pic, so we ended up using her hp to take one.Damn, i want that photo!It was kinda sad parting again and I dont think i'll see her for a while to come or maybe never.......Anyways, after to OH again! Breakfast for real this time and Jon had the idea of eating tim sum! He said that this shop in paragon(orchard) was really really good and he didn't disappoint.(Price didn't as well) 10 dumplings costs us 9 sing excluding tax and service charges n bla bla bla.i had 3 dumplings for around 10 sing and later pork noodles! It was really good , うまい!! the dunplings has 8 different layers and it was so delicate! Maybe it justified the price.....Now , here was a surprise for me..The bought a cake for me!!My birthday was the day after but they actually remembered:P Something I didn't expect actually.They bought a Mrs Field Brownie Cake. Was really sweet but damn good and filling.A nice conclusion to my trip eh? Would have been nice if it just ended there though.
After that, there isn;'t much to tell anymore. We parted and i left back for Malaysia except... remeember i said i regretted buying my handphone charger? Well, the moment i entered Malaysia, I realized my handphone was working properly!!Can't recieve any signals but apparent while roaming, i'm able too.Weird eh? If i knew this would happen, I would have bought a new phone right there n then in sing. After conversion, I could save almost 50 ringgit than if i bought one here. I'm trying to fix the phone now but if it costs too much,might as well get a new one eh?That night, it was off to Usui Sensei's place as it was her birthday!If i can add a link here, i'll be sure to add the pics, Anyways that's about it.I've l;earnt quite a bit from this trip and hopefully i wont be a dumbass to repeat what i've done.:P pics here http://share.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=EeCOGjlu4ctWK2

watashino youtei!!!

next week i'm goin sing!! more update on it:) hhehe.. and KLIMS finally coming... n so are my KOHAI's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

???????????????=)???????????????????

bumper!haha.. brain dead with nth to write. wats so interesting bout my life anyway???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

.............%^&*#$@#$&*(&*&(&$$^.......

Ain't that nice for a title???Let's see.. started 2nd year of my course here in ppktj. What's it like??Well.............well.....well.........well....well. S-U-C-K-S? Actually, it ain't that bad. The worse thing so far is still japanese to me. My foundation and basics kind of bad i guess. That's why I need to brush up! I say i'll be studying more from now but how much, i really don't know. My grammar, my kanji..aiks.

So I started Math physics and chemistry in japanese. Now, i'm going to be trilungual in the science feild.It's quite tough. The whole system is kind of messy. Some in katakana, some in kanji,etc...Guess i'll just have to memorize like a machine:P Anyways, it's the first time in almost 6 months that i've paid attention during this classes. I still don't pay attention for english though.. too hard too put that effort into it unless got something interesting going on.

It's almost 2 weeks here and I've yet to watch a movie!!Kind of surprising eh?Hehehe, maybe cause Angie's gone, I'm lazy to find someone else. Well, there's kelly & gang (+ min ley only) hahaha but i'm kind of lazy of the moment.I should cut down anyway. Save money. Study more:P

New teachers!I forgot about that. I got Yoshida Sensei as my homeroom teacher. For those who don't know her, she's an old lady with a young lady's mind. Damn active. She's fun if you understand most of what she says!Then there's Ito, who's my physics. Even though, he speaks japanese, he's ten fold better than THAT PANDA EYES teacher i had in AJC. He got a Phd just to prove it. And he's memory might beat john Tnay:P remembering pi up to the 20digit is quite amazing!

Well, more to write but the laziness kicks in , so...

Z3n

hehehe..got it!My Creative Zen Micro.finally..but it burned a hole in my pocket..sigh.Have to budget from now on =( So, here's my impression of it. I must say it looks damn good and smaller than I imagined! sexier than the mini too.the vertical touch screen!People say it's kinda hard to use and they're probably right but with the right skill and technique, it's kinda easy. 1 day learning period only. Interface's great and comes with tonnes of features too, namely fm radio, calender(scheduler), clock,microphone,fm recorder and cusomtized eq.was it worth it?Yea, for 1 gb more than the mini and all the added features.I wanted white though but they didnt have the colour=( Any disappointments about my new toy?Yea,a few. The sound!Not really what i expected. Maybe cos I've not used an mp3 palyer for a while. but not as rich as i thought and the bass ain't that great even though it's supopsedly better than the mini.Next, there isnt a line out means everything's from the player.Kinda sucky.All in all, still say it's a good buy =) gonna go play with it now.

Y do i always need to write a title?

I never knew people read my blog....haven't really thought much bout updating it but what the heck...urm.. so, what's been goin on in my life, you wonder?N-O-T-H-I-N-G! happy Easter by the way for all christians.
I've actually felt i've wasted my time over the last 2-3 weeks.Yes, it was fun and all but i feel kinda bad when everyone else is so busy working hard andstudyin and all..maybe it's was due to easter n good friday cause i allways geet moody around those times.Too much reflection i guess over what i've been doing over the last year...
In truth as hard as i refuse to admit it, i don't really think i've settled in ppktj yet. I survived the last year cause angie was around but now that she's gone..i'm not sure anymore. IT could just be my sense of ultra paranoia and pessimism but to say that i've a good good friend in ppktj might be totally bullshit. I'm not saying that it's their fault( and Kelly when u read this, don't jump to any conclusionns) It's just me probably.. too hooked up in my past. I still can't reallylet go of my friends.. don't think i ever will. Somehow, life in ppktj doesnt even half compare to life in lodge een though i had not much freedom..maybe that's why i like being back in Kuching..not many mmight understand it but beeing home feels like everything and I mean everything is gone..PPKTJ is like suddenly not there, my problems, my worries.It's like i go back and my life freezes!Again I'm here talking about a load of nonsensical rubbish, still ...
One worry that's still around though.. even now is my faltering faith..shit..i'm questioning things i haven't, sometimes i'm not sure why i'm doing this or that or what's His real purpose is..Faith alone has brought me this far but now..It's something i don't ever want to lose.. just like friends..
so, enough bullshit d?anyways, eric , i might be going down sg in may =) hope to see u soon.... and don't worry bout all this stuff i just said cos this feeling hs always been llingering inside me since God knows when....

Book review!! The Darkest Fear by Harlan Coben.Must read book..5 star rating

Friendship

A poem of friendship..

A cactus,
In the yellow barren,
A cactus grows green,
Without much concern.
Our friendship too,
I hope will be so.

Even when the desert's
Mighty wind blows,
It still stands tall.
Our friendship as well,
I pray will endure
through any obstacle.

A cactus' carcass,
Tougher than steel.
Our bonds too,
May it to,
Be unbreakable.

It's ultimate act,
self sacrifice some might say,
To quench the thirst,
Of the ever always needy.
I can only hope,
That we trust
To do the same.

It's thorns,
So petit,
Yet so dangerous,
To only those ignorant.
Our faults,
Shouldn't be resolved with tact,
But with truthfulness
And sincerity.

A cactus' succulent,
Is like a bottomless pit,
Water it'll never run out.
Friends too have a pit,
Bottomless in heart,
Care love and spirit.
And that's what,
I hope,
We'll share.

Albeit,
A cactus does not,
come in twos.
Parting itself is envitable.
To not say 'hi',
is normalcy.

Yet,
For years to come,
Forget not,
the memories we share.
And here as always,
I'll be.

-clem-

This goes out to my friend, Angie.. may you have the best of times in Russia! i'll miss you but this'll only test how far our friendship'll go..shit.. i sound so pathetic:P to my seniors too.. enjoy japan n c u next yr!
