a wonderful day yesterday and i had a great time. dinner at sofra turkish restaurant with meijun andrew wenjun and nic was great, the chef's plate was heavenly. they had a little bit of everything like chicken bits, beef slices and kebab, i will wana go back there again some time. u guys should also try.. only $14.90 for the chef's plate, of coz still got to pay the stupid cheapopo taxes. shing and weeyang joined us shortly after for xmen3! the show was great, only thing lots of people dieded.
the lamers gave me $60 worth of adidas vouchers, and i'm so thankful... jus wat i needed.
i planned to slack with the lamers after the show... but i received smses from jason asking me to go to tampines mart before 12am, i initially didnt wan to, but then again how could i turn an invitation like this down. so eventually i took a cab and rushed down after the movie. and jason presneted me with a cake he bought from the petrol kiosk. and i wana thank all those who were present.. ppl like mok edwin lester jason cindy weizhen and pris. the cake was the most meaningful gift i've received this yr. and i wana specially thank jason. u may argue its so damn cheap, but u bought that with all the money that u have left, and that's wat matters to me. it's how sincere the gift is, not how huge or expensive it is.
and i wana thank every1 for their well wishes... from the lamers, to 106, to 4e1 & 4e2 class/schoolmates, 1b20ians and my current project grp members.
and today im back to reality.... PROJECTS. sad case.
hoho so long and good nite.

yes ah! if any1 needs to buy alcohol, buy cigarettes, bet soccer, buy M18 movie tickets and a buddy to take ur car license course with, i am here to sacrifice for u! coz i am officially of legal age to do that! whohoo! after 18years, i guess it's time to show my appreciation IN NO ORDER OF IMPORTANCE.
to the lamers: u guys r like my brothers and sisters. Regardless of how busy we r, we'll still find time somehow to meet up and jus talk and laugh like we've nv laughed before. i appreciate every single thing we've done together and i'm sure we will still hold meetings occasionally. i treasure u guys so damn much. and u guys are of coz, damn impt.
to 106: my buddies, with whom i share my childhood memories all the way till now. seeing each other grow up, it's amazing to also note that our friendship have grown so strong. u guys are the most amazing batch of people i've been with, and so multi purpose. from hair stylists, to drummers, pianists, webpage designers, friendster king, metta kids, rich arses, stupid pai kias, just plain stupid, xia lan kias, we have it all. we also have the not so well off but willing to sacrifice for each other kind of ppl. in times of need, u all are always willing to lend a helping hand. just spending everyday with u guys makes me really happy.
4e1: my most memorable class, sharing all pleasant memories, i shall nv forget how all us tried to act smart with our plain sillyness and at the end of the day still acheive the results we wanted. lousy sch, but a great bunch of ppl, and a great form teacher. seeing our class photos just make me look back at the past with a smile.
4e2 guys: bball, lan gaming, laughter, suaning. u guys have the complete package. keep rocking dudes! let's go for more JB trips and doing more leisure activities!
1b20: my first poly class, i miss talking as a clique, i miss making fun of people in the LTs and most imptly, i miss my previous project group gossips!
hole: u're just so amazing, words can't describe how much i owe u, and how much we've been thru. no matter wat happens, we'll still be who we r now.
current project group: we will strive for excellence and achieve the results which we've always yearned for. hardworking, patient, diligent are the words to describe u guys. i am so lucky to be with u all and i am confident we will soar to greater heights.
to those whom i forgot to mention and u think u should be mentioned: i'm sorry. i love u. and u rock! hoho. pls understand that there is a limit to my brain storage space, and i didn't purposely leave u out.
and to my parents.....
Birth of Existence
Through their love I was conceived,
Through their hearts I was born.
Through God I was made,
Through him I was sworn.
They gave me everything,
All I could ever ask for.
I accepted them as they were,
I just couldn't ask for more.
A worker by day,
God's servant by night.
A man of faith,
A father of might.
A housewife she is,
My mom so dear.
Worrying about me,
She's always in fear.
My gratitude to them,
I have never told.
One blink of an eye,
And I'm 18 years old.
This is for them,
Though they'd never find out.
But someday I promise,
I'll shout this out loud.
-Gerald
hoho so long and good nite!

Another sunday spent on assignments. When the holidays come in 3 weeks time, i promise i will enjoy myself thoroughly before starting next term. i tell u, arts appreciation really sux as a CDS. last tues i passed up my mosaic, and now this tues i have a presentation due. im supposed to present on an artist, mark rothko. i hate arts. and my art tutor, mrs MARIKO elizabeth gomez is actually yuuki's mom's fren.. how nice... countrymates residing in a foreign country. Just so happened that yuuki's mom was a lecturer at tp a few yrs ago... and her name was also MARIKO.
Anyway i went to church mass today and the priest was preaching... halfway thru he talked abt the da vinci code. he strongly discouraged all christians and catholics to watch that movie coz it's like featuring distortions of the church and all and making false stories abt jesus. but... i'm gona watch it tmr anyway. dun get me wrong, i'm not watching it jus to go against the priest, it's just that i already planned to watch it since the movie was screened. anyway he jus DISCOURAGED us from watching it, he didn't BAN us. and i dun feel that by watching it, i will disrespect him or the church in any way watsoever. and my faith was strong, it still is strong and it will be strong forever. i wun be so childish and idiotic to follow the movie and doubt the church.. a movie will only be a movie. i mean it's jus a movie. it's not like i watched the matrix and tried to jump off the building without getting hurt, neither am i trying to be like the hollow man who went around ra..... ok nvm i think u already got my point. so to all christians, catholics, priests, pastors, and jesus... if u all happen to drop by at my blog... i love u all and the movie wun change anything... all that i am asking, is for u to trust me, thank u!
and after church, i went on board bus 18 to go to the interchange. i was listening to the ipod. as usual i tapped my ez-link card and went all the way to the back to sit. then when i sat down, EVERYONE IN THE BUS STARED AT ME! whoa a super frightening sight. ALL STARED AT ME. i faster checked if i zipped my jeans and i did. then for some reason the bus driver stared at me using his mirror. i ignored him, coz i tapped my card wat. and he was trying to tell me sth but then i couldnt hear coz i was listening to my ipod and i continued to ignore him. then he came out of his seat and walked all the way to the back and asked me: 'can u pls show me ur student pass?' then i showed him and he said thank u. then i found out that he checked my student pass coz he thot i wasnt a student and im using a student ez-link card. (coz the student and adult ez-link card sound differently when tapped, if u still dun know). and i learnt that he was shouting and asking me to show him my student pass ever since i tapped my ez-link card but obviously i didnt hear coz of the mp3s. but then i was wondering... y does a guy like me who has a super kiddy face still have to be checked for this kinda stuff? i mean dun i look like a student? first time i kana this kind of spot check.. by a bus DRIVER somemore. if even i will kana checked... i wonder how many times granny stef got checked? and then i realise she doesn't have to take public transport anymore...............
hoho so long and good nite!

Here r some pics so that u know the lamers are still alive. some shots from weeyang and meijun's birthday steamboat at bugis point last thurs. the day was as usual, fun. and oh ya we saw ann kok eating at a table near us too! Anyway this place is FULLY owned by chinese nationals. haha china entrepreneurs in singapore, not bad eh.
Me, honey and birthday girl meijun.
WEEYANG & SHING, nic and wenjun.
the birthday ppl.
yes weeyang, i already told them its ur birthday.
meijun wanted her version of it.
ok here's the thing. i remembered that 2 years ago, some chinese nationals in singapore commented that singaporeans are far less intelligent than china men. But i can prove to u, u all r not any better. u see on that day we bought a cake to surprise weeyang and meijun and we asked the waitress whether she could put the cake into the fridge and have it served later. she agreed of coz. then when we finished our food, we secretly called upon a waiter and asked for the cake to be served. shing and i whispered to him quietly: 'excuse me, can u clear our plates and have the cake served now?' and he was like (in chinese): 'OH OH! SO U WAN ME TO CLEAR THE PLATES AND HAVE THE CAKE SERVED? CAN! CAN!' whoa i wana peng. by then weeyang and meijun already heard him. there goes our surprise. dun get me wrong, im not trying to shoot back at china, all im trying to say, is that if u are not perfect urselves, dun try to bring other ppl down, u'll only end up embarassing ur own country. haha i seem to like to bring out facts and shoot others back. first the jc, now the chinese. wat to do, hey its funi alright. went to catch MI:3 and trust me, u'll be a moron to miss this show. unless u r the type of weakling who only goes for act cute chick flicks. the movie was a full 2hrs of non-stop action! supa kool!
ok yesterday i had my mosaic art piece passed up. a sigh of relief i tell u! dinesh didn't sleep the whole of mon night jus to wan to complete his. i think i spent a total of 14 hours on my art piece. so we were supposed to present our work in class and after tt our neighbour was supposed to comment on our work. of coz every1 gave positive comments i mean who would critisize other's work? anyway the mosaics of my class were really beautiful. however there will be some simon cowell wannabes in class. this china girl drew a snail in a blue sky background. unique and artistic. but her SINGAPOREAN neighbour, a poser from design school, chose to critisize it. here's wat she said: 'erm, frankly i dun like her work. her snail's shell was too dark, she SHOULD use a brighter colour. she SHOULD also make the shell stand out, she SHOULD also this, she SHOULD also that.' wha lao ok i know u r from design, but can't u put it nicer, wats done is already done wat, u SHOULD here SHOULD there. we r all art noobs, thats y we r in the arts class, trying to learn. i could have told her that her mum SHOULD have given birth to her with a nicer face. i was that pissed. and she went on to say: 'oh u dun get good remarks in ur FYP from the design lecturers.' get this straight girl. firstly, we r only taking this arts app for one sem. secondly, we r not doing our yr3 FYP project. thirdly, we r not from design sch. and lastly, ITS OUR FRICKING FIRST ATTEMPT AT ART.
The Art of Arrogance
While a compliment makes your day,
A nasty remark shall also stay.
A piece of art simple as it seems,
You chose to bring down her self-esteem.
We are no professionals,
That's why we're here.
Just a phrase from you is enough,
to make her smile disappear.
Learning from others is valuable,
And that is how we progress.
We do not want to bring others down,
Neither do we want to impress.
But if superiority is what you felt,
Then superiority it shall be.
You'll never have true friends,
Cause someday they all will flee.
Your arrogance disgusts me,
It may be a fault on my part.
But you must learn to praise,
And view things with an open heart.
-Gerald
haha i seem to keep having problems with ppl. but who cares i dun really think its my fault.
hoho so long and good nite.

Just Another Phase to Get By...
Look forth to what life has to offer,
the best has yet to come.
Never look back at the past,
for it has already been done.
Your days of yore may be filled with regrets,
the sadness you'll always remember.
But happy memories will still fill your heart,
and happiness lasts forever.
The next step is crucial,
with all the choices you have to make.
What lies ahead are challenges,
all of which you have to partake.
But the real challenge lies with you,
and all the things you choose to do.
Cause only you can decide,
with all the principles which you abide;
whether the next step will leave pleasant memories,
or end up being just another regret.
-Gerald
the mosaic is killing me. it sux balls. time is not on my side, but i think i still can manage to finish it on time by tues morning. will update again by thurs with pictures from weeyang and meijun's birthday celebrations. hoho so long and good nite.

yay end of sch week. but sian, have to complete my mosaic by next tues. those of u who duno wat a mosaic is, its an art piece. and trust me, u wun wana know more abt it. public holiday status: BURNT! i know this is rather random... but i really hate ppl who take lifts jus to go up 1 lvl or come down 1 lvl. if u r wheelchair bound or have a broken leg or even a sprained ankle, then tts fine with me. but if u r a perfect and normal human being, i dun see a need to take the lift jus to go 1 lvl up or down. y cant u jus fricking take the stairs? so annoying... haha ok tt was so random. anyway i kana tagged by evan to do this. she added tt i muz be spontaneous.. so here it goes...
U have been tagged. U are to come out with 7 qualities of your perfect lover. specify the gender, then list down and tag another seven bloggers on their page if u've been tagged. if u have been tagged before, u need not do this again.
Gender: erm, obviously female right.
1. Must be able to fully trust me when i tell her things. coz i'll nv ever lie to my lover. i'll only lie if she doesn't trust me.
2. Loves me for who i really am, and not who she wans me to be.
3. Someone who has her own mind
4. Someone whom i can confide in, and confides in me. it's like having a lover & a best fren.
5. Someone who will not die if we dun meet up often. i'm not always free. besides, absence makes the heart fonder.
6. Someone who is easy going. not those kind who always THIS CANNOT THAT CANNOT.
7. Someone who doesn't need to take lifts 1 floor up or 1 floor down, and cannot use the words EUU MOI MUAIX BUAIX. seriously turns me off! lol.
most of my frens have done it already la so i wun arrow them to do it. anyway i did it bcoz i wana show evan tt im spontaneous and... erm... actually i have nth to blog abt. hoho so long and good nite

The Have You Ever Entry
Have u ever...
Had a dream that u remember very clearly, and the incident in ur dream actually took place in ur life?
Hated someone so much but eventually became very good frens?
Made a wrong decision in ur life and ended up hurting some1 while trying to change that decision?
Felt that adults often look down on teenagers?
Unknowingly hurt others with ur harsh words?
Apologized unwillingly for something which wasn't ur fault to begin with?
Heard the sound of someone moving furniture in the MIDDLE OF THE NITE?
Heard the sound of marbles bouncing on ur ceiling?
Search deep within ur soul and realize that deep inside there is actually some form of evil in u?
Regretted for some of the things u did and others which u didn't do?
Done something which u knew was not right, but u did it anyway?
Kept ur opinions to urself coz u r afraid that others disagree?
Hesitated because u were not confident in urself?
Set high expectations and in turn get disappointed?
Thot that u knew the truth of the world, only to know that there is no truth at all?
Created a mountain out of a molehill?
Fantasized about something which u know can nv happen, yet u wish for it to happen?
Felt that the world cannot be trusted?
Experienced karma thrown back right at ur face?
Failed to seize the moment?
Tried to be understanding and not penalize someone, only to get blamed in return?
Dug through ur belongings and thot back abt the past?
Tried to find the least bit of happiness when ur life was crashing down on u?
Felt like running away from this messed up place?
Realised that things always do not go ur way?
For one moment thot that u had the whole world, only to lose everything within a nite?
Found someone so familiar but u just couldn't recall who he/she was?
Held back ur anger?
Realised that ur soft heart always lands u into more trouble?
...if u have... u should realise.. that u r not alone.
hoho so long and good night

saturday was very fun. woke up at 8am in the morning to play bball with the 106 peeps and we played frm 830-12pm... and then i started to play soccer until 1pm. i went home and found out tt i became quite a charcoal. then i took a rest before meeting yuuki weijie and jason for nite cycling. went to changi village to eat supper and cycle around. yuuki showed us again y he's silly by being the 1st cyclist. he was the front man so by right he was supposed to lead the way. in the end we cycled for so long and we stopped by a bus stop to rest. then i asked yuuki: 'eh how long mre b4 we reach?' and he replied: 'oh i duno the route i nv cycled this route b4.' whoa haha pls dun imagine my reaction.. i could have jus killed him on the spot. heng jason knew the route.
we cycled to changi beach after supper and we went to this spot where we could see the airplanes landing. really beautiful... i mean the planes were jus above our heads and it was so damn loud. but it was worth the watch. and fear not.. i took videos of it.. feel free to view. haha while taking the video i had to follow the plane with the camera and when the plane passed me i had to lie back and tilt my head upside down to capture the full video. enjoy...
