Just some lame shit

i should be studying :

The Wild Rose
Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLDf)

shmolorful, but unpicked. You are The Wild Rose.

Prone to bouts of cynicism, sarcasm, and thorns, you excite a certain kind of man. Hoping to gather you up, he flirts and winks and asks you out, ultimately professing his love. Then you make him bleed. Why? Because you're the rare, independent, self-sufficient kind of woman who does want love, but not from a weakling.

You don't seem to take yourself too seriously, and that's refreshing. You aren't uptight; you don't over-plan. Romance-wise, sex isn't a top priority--a true relationship would be preferable. For your age, you haven't had a lot of bonafide love experience, though, and this kind of gets to core of the issue. You're very selective.

Your exact opposite:
The Dirty Little Secret

Deliberate Gentle Sex Master

The problem is them, not you, right? You have lofty standards that few measure up to. You're out there all right, but not to be picked up by just anyone.

"You're never truly single as long as you have yourself."

ALWAYS AVOID: The Bachelor

CONSIDER: The Vapor Trail.

I absolutely HATE the haze. It makes me want to smoke. Ha don't ask me why. I think its the smell. BUT I WON'T. ... at least that's what I tell myself now...

2006-09-29T00:20:00.000+08:00

Anyway, tonight's forbidden city was "good but not perfect" as Pok puts it. As in a gestalt sense of way, every thing was good but the whole picture was not. The themes and contrasts were excellent; the costumes, backdrop and the props were aesthetically pleasant; the performers were experienced and talented; nothing to complaint about either. The crux of the matter however, was that it was rather disjointed and did not flow that well. I guess there were too many happenings and too little time (2.5 hrs). On the other hand, the play did put Empress Cixi in a different perspective from the one I learnt of her in history 1101 four months back which was rather refreshing.

Will post New York New York pictures up in a week or so. ok goin to bed. So not looking forward to tomorrow morning's class. I got the blahs....

Total different look. Finally got a fringe after years but its quite irritating because it gets into the eye.

Oh i jus realized its like my 3rd hair cut this year. Hmm..

GOSH! I can see my black eye in that pic!! ARGH!!!

Oh thats the addition TV in my room. Been wanting to take a photo of tat for a long time....

Shit!!!

After 40 episodes of 妙手人心3, the ending was terrible. Waste my time... thats 40 X 45mins.

My don's pineapple tarts have been invaded by an army of ants. Half the container had to be thrown down the chute. *heart aches*

Due to overspending (again), and crazy amount of make up classes, my KL trip have been changed to Singapore Zoo. Hilarious. Thankfully, YL knows someone who works there who can bring us behind the scene! Hope I can get a close encounter with the seals!!

How to take THE perfect picture

2006-09-20T10:57:00.000+08:00

How to take THE perfect picture, originally uploaded by Mellythegreat.

Are you having problems taking nice pictures of yourself? Here are some NOT-TO-DO errors that can happen....

1. Transposition Error
As you can see, the possibility of that happening is very high. So to rid yourself of such a problem, you gotta practice man!

2. Perfect Action
Of course when you are going to take the photo, you gotta have the perfect look...once again, practice makes perfect

3. Open your eyes...

4. Other things not said / seen can be NOT having a barrel of beer before you attempt to take the perfect photo

5. A pre-requisite is that you have to be narcissist.

Than... TADAHHHH!

Okay. enough crapping... back to readings.

I feel like a second class citizen in my own country.

Nope you cannot walk through Suntec Convention Centre to Citylink because the IMF delegates are doing so. You have to walk to Milenia Walk so that you can walk to Marina Square.

You are subjected to body and bag checks because you want to eat at Kopitiam @ Cityhall because the IMF delegates are around that area.

Restuarants @ suntec @ 6p.m. are not even half filled. Who's going to compensate the economy because of this IMF thingy?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Too stress to think clearly.. so decided to come here and blog a while...theme of the day..

some music recommends!

(1) Christina Aguilera's New cd. [ok so i'm a christina aguilera fan]
Actually it comes in 2 cd. One modern one+one old school one. The old school cd rawks! The music in it goes by the style of Big Band. But heyyy, like louis armstrong said, if you had to ask, you never know.

(2) Henryk Gorecki's Symphony No. 3 Op. 36. Symphony of Sorrowful songs.
The music is rather ..... chilling to the bones yet touches the soul... actually its rather hard to into words. Its written in the 1960's and to reflect the war theme and WWII. If you like the Last Samurai OST you gotta check this out!!

(3) Lisa Ekdahl's heaven earth and beyond cd
Chill out jazz with unique vocals and I love the guitars.. Some of the songs are classic jazz oldies while others are new stuff. Excellent cd to relax to...

Anyway Jay chou's new cd sucks well unless you like his rap songs which occupies like 80% of the cd. I think I liked only one or two songs and only moderately. This cd gives me impression that its rushing to increase sales, thus compromising the quality. Give me the old albums anyday. ..

okays... back to the books... (again) ARGH!... Till I update next... [which i think will be a long long time.. haha]...

I just realised something. Ricky doesn't kisses anyone goodbye. He turns his head away. He does kisses you when you go visit him. I think he must be able to sense that we were going to leave him, thus, upsetting him. He is really almost like human man... [I bet pok will go "chucky....chucky"]

Anyway, after taking public transport to get around for the past two or so months, I realised Singaporeans are either downright rude or just lacking in human decency. Simple acts of kindness are missing in their everyday actions. For instance, people simply like to occupy both sides of the escalator, thus blocking the way of those who are in a rush. In London, this is simply unheard of! When I was in London many years ago, I did not see such behaviour at all. And their escalators are extremely long. Does that mean that London's society of the past are superior to that of Singapore's of today?

In my opinion, I do think so. Although Singaporeans are book-smart, able to sustain a small country and maintain it to a first world standards, their everyday's behaviour are no different from that of a third world country's. This is reflected in a Reader's Digest's informal survey. Rather depressing isn't it? Maybe everyone just start giving some effort to go out their way to make someone's day, perhaps, the standards of our society can reflect that of our economy....

Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way

Fiona Apple - Across the Universe

Realised that I haven't really blogged in a while so I decided to compile the happenings since the prev. Firstly, I cracked my rib bone when I fell off the ladder and hit the bed frame. It took me a fortnight before I dared to see a doctor about it due to the fear that I will be admitted to the hospital. Thankfully, it was only a hairline crack. Along with osteoporosis medicine and painkillers, the notion of having to stay in the hospital was banished to Neverland.

The second event was even more traumatic. As my dad wanted to cut cost on the car by not sending it for maintenance, the brakes malfunctioned. I crashed into the car in front of me as I was just about to take the exit towards east coast rd. Because the car was out of control, I hit the car in front twice before it managed to stop. Unfortunately, this resulted in a chain collision with another 2 cars in front of that car. Considering all this factors, I was damn lucky to get away with a blue black on the shin. If I was speeding (instead of the 20km/h I was going) or drinking, I dare not even think what would have happened to my legs. I probably could not even make it to my graduation! Since the accident, the fear of driving suddenly was rooted in me. It took me 1 week to overcome it, but I have yet dared to drive "bus 5332" since.

Nat, ricky & I went over to Pok's place today. First day since the accident to drive.

Skits (pok's dog) have grown so much since the last time I saw her. She seemed so interested in Ricky but Ricky was so aloof towards her.

In the afternoon, we brought the dogs to the nearby recreation park. We tried some of the facilities that were meant for the elderly. I think that any elderly who uses those facilities sure fall and break their bones. The equipments were so shaky! However, it was fun taking radomn shots and playing with the dogs.

It was great hanging with u guys! Chips, watchin' HV re-runs and the whole experience!!

Graduation 2006

2006-07-23T19:44:00.000+08:00

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

Vit C - Graduation (Friends Forever)

b2, originally uploaded by Mellythegreat.

After 3 years in NUS, I'm proud to say..

ITS OVER!!!!!!!!

The ceremony was amazingly short as compared to the freshmen's one. As I was sitting in the middle row, it was not a good place to fall asleep as the camera (that was projected to the screen) kept revolving around.
A couple of people were asking me how I felt about being graduated. Initially when the exams were over, I was really excited. However, as the date of ceremony neared, the excitment seemed to have worn off. In fact, my mother seemed more anxious and excited than me. (She remined me 3 days before that day to bring my camera.)
Anyway, many thanks for Jas, Nana, Clement and Ernest to come down to celebrate this special day for me. OH! the flowers were compliments of Jas & Nana! Thanks babes!

Anyway, after the ceremony ended, we took the 'sigh' BUS 10 down to Parkway for Andersons. The journey was so LONG! Oh and of course its the last time taking that route! ....YAY!

Thanks to Nana's party, we had a voucher that allows us to get a free pot of tea upon return. Thus, we decided to make use of the voucher.

Delicious food along with the great company of the katong girls at such a chic setting, allowed us to enjoy sitting there the whole afternoon.

After that, we headed towards marina square to check out the sales. Nothing was eye-catching enough to be blogged here tho..

Oh there was this lady who was part of the marketing team of O Bar who went around different crowds to take photo and to put up their website. Thus, this.

Along with that, they were having this event where they had "batman & robin" to advertise for Bacardi Breezer. They looked so ridiculous and hilarious in their costume!

Dear lie
You suck
You said you could fix anything
Instead I'm fucked
You made things even worse for me
If I had balls I'd tell you get away from me
Guess I'm not smart
I let you unnerve me
I let you control me
Afraid the truth would hurt me
When it's you that hurts me more

3rd day at shanghai and its the 3rd day i woke up at 7+ in the morning! how disgusting is that? haha

Anyway, its freaking cold here and I only brought like 2 sweaters. Actually 1 sweatshirt and 1 denim jacket. Won't be surprise if I get sick man. Anyway, do you know that tailoring clothes in Shanghai is soooooooooo cheap? For 3 shirts and 1 blazer, I paid like only S$80. For those starting work, it is a must to come here to make your clothes! hahah

There is like so much food here! Everyday I am like overeating.. Jialat.. On the first day, we ate BK @ the airport followed by one meal each on each flight. Following that, we had like a 15 course dinner when to got to shanghai. That is only the first day. Arghh... my poor stomach..

Will continue this narration later... have to go prepare for shopping!

Hello ppl! I'm finally back to blogging after such a long break! It has indeed been an eventful semester! Only a while ago, I was celebrating my brother's wedding...and nw, we have a new addition to the family - Baby Louis!

Haha, the hrs spent waiting outside the delivery rm with my family and my da sao's family werereally memorable. When the first few wails of the baby were heard from within the delivery rm, all of us literally leapt for joy. (I'm sure my bro did too inside the delivery rm). Haha...I can't wait for my brother and da sao to produce another child so we can experience that sense of anticipation all over again! It's really addictive I tell u. Oh yah, another thing I noticed was tt our hor fun uncle (from the arts canteen) actually won the best picture award for a photograph taken of him, his wife and his baby. Shall go por2 him one day for extra big hor fun portions!

Two days after the delivery, as I ended my last paper, I was greeted with another surprise when my baby came down to NUS to spend my first moment of liberation with me! Haha not baby louis but xuan dear! Thanks for being so sweet dear! I'm sorry u had to miss ur lunch to make the trip down and make do with a vegetable bao from the worst food stall in NUS - the stall beside the swimming pool. Thanks too to my bro! Haha not bro koh but brother david! It was great having ur company! Thanks for sharing my family's joy and for driving us down too!

Haha not forgetting andrew and shengwei, the ever-faithful die hard "fans" who read xuan's and my blogs like they read the daily newspapers. Haha! Andrew...come sweden with us leh! The presents u gave us were really too expensive. But rest assured they'll be treasured deeply! Btw I don't cheat during exams hor! Nb. And your english really makes for a very comfortable read. I enjoy reading what u write.! To naohia: your enlightening talk on "investments" and "portfolio" tt nite was very enriching and entertaining too. Can consider joining opposition parties in future since you're so gd at analogies + you love to argue too. Haha...

To dear: 21 yrs old already! So fast huh...haha. Haha I was desperately trying to tag in your blog in the past few days. But there appeared to be a problem with the tag board. I received a special mention...all the more must I be prompt in my tags! haha. Anyway, you really stole the limelight from baby louis when I showed the pics to my relatives. Haha watch out for his bites when he starts teething. Babies are very jealous creatures! Love ya dear. Look fwd to a beautiful anniversary with u! Btw, I nv near awaiting the election results could be so exciting and entertaining at the same time until I spent last evening with your family. Wah whoever said our singaporean youths were apathetic twds politics shld talk to your xiao mei and u. Haha credit definitely goes to your parents!

To everyone else: Thanks for reading this entry! See u all ard soon and enjoy the long stretch of holidays ahead!

Running in heels..

That is what happened to me yesterday when the carpark exit that I came out from closed and we could not find another way to my car. We were not drunk in anyway but the 20 min walk really cleared our system of all the 3 bottles of martell.. Anyway, I was brought to this place at central mall called “live impact”. It has live singing by this thai band and they can really sing and play their instruments. Plus they play all the top hits – English, Chinese Cantonese …. Oh and the lead singer is cute in a retro kind of way.. although he is a lil too short.

Anyway here is some pictures of ricky and skits @ pok’s place from pok’s blog..

Regrets; because its too late

She will never be around me ever again.

I have never gotten around driving her.

Neither did I bring her out for dim sum

I will never get a chance to talk to her about her life ever again

She will never see me in my graduation clothes.

Because I ran away when she was weak

Because the hardest thing that ever happened, telling her to leave, had took place. She listened.

Her room carries nothing of her presence anymore, reeking of her non-existence.

The one that I truly cared about my entire life has left and I have not fulfilled my promises to her.

I suck.

Seems like a lot of visual aesthetics this week

For one, went to sneak preview of movie "ultraviolet" on Friday with J. Everything was great except the movie. There was WINE, finger food etc.. .and we still bought food from the counter.. Such gluttony. .. My advice is do not down three glasses of wine before the movie. Not only the movie was terrible, the woman next to me fell asleep tempting me to follow suit, especially with the effects of the wine. I swear I yawned like a million times during the show man..

The second was the TS final year project. Nat, Karen and San were part of the production. After much urging from Karen, I decided to go with Pok despite some misgivings about some issues. The acting and the singing were fantastic. Besides that, the way they handled the production was better than one I watch last semester in terms of the venue and the way the production crew behaved. The costumes were a letdown tho. Fadilah's dress made her look fat and in the first scene, there was this pink/ red feather pined on her that looked like a mini troll [extremely distracting]. Neither did I like the way the effect of the colour scheme of the costumes. To cut things short, the one saving point about the costumes was the funky pink shoes "Doris" wore; pok and I had turned to each other in the middle of the show and commented on how great it was.

Oh café cartel has this new method of collecting orders. Instead of paying at the counter, they collect those sheets of orders and bring you the food and the bill. We were so tempted to run away without paying when they did not bring the bill along with the food. Due to some urgent matter, we were unable to conquer "the Viking" which was 10 scoops of ice cream [TOTALLY SINFULLY!] Pok: till next time, cosy bay + 10 scoops of ice awaits!

Hmm.. seems like a long time since I last posted anything.. well after her demise, some shits that happened at home and some skank's (well there are other names too but this one suits the person to a T) remarks.. oh well. I was contemplating changing blogs to prevent the skank from reading but I decided against it. To the skank: if you do not like what you see here, you don't have to be here. Sod off anyways because I do not welcome u either. Ok.. enough bitching.. here goes nothing..

This semester marks the craziest period in my whole NUS career ever. Nope not because of it’s the last sem but because I am doing 4UEs. It is these irritating ues that caused me to have like 8 essays, 2 field trips and 1 presentation! With the core sociology module, I have a grand total of 9 essays! How lucky is that?

Jas: this is for you

Name five of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick five people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not use things that someone else has already used:

5. Reading without interruptions
4. The act of chilling out and talking with friends, be it alcohol [not exactly with you tho], coffee, ice-cream.. [the list goes on]
3. Traveling [apply to civilized societies where capitalism prevails]– the freedom, the culture, the food ..
2. Shopping [its common for a reason]
1. Sitting at the beach watching the waves/sunrise/cute guys/cute doggies

Hmm .. anybody can do this.. Surprise me…

Argh, semester is ending in a couple of months. Erin is going away for a couple of months. I have not shopped in months. Graduation too. The future ahead seems rather bleak. There is nothing exceptional to look forward besides eradicating the hands of the NUS education. So many things, so little time.

Under the pretext of helping my mother wrap presents, I managed to convince her to give me two Elizabeth Arden’s makeup pouches, two mascaras, one 4.8ml of ‘provocative woman’ perfume, one 10ml of ‘provocative women’ perfume, one body lotion cream, one restoring cream, one lip moisture cream and one night serum…. Haha not bad man..

Anyway, hope everyone liked the video and here’s wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Today is sinful day with a capital S. So much FOOOD!!

Met meiyin for a movie. We saw SAW 2. Rather gory but not scary. Hung around till yingli finished work and we went marche. The rationale that we have a cheap dinner, thus we decided to share. However, I think we ordered a lil too much. The bill came up to $76! Madness! We had soft shell crab, calamari, sambal stingray [yes, they do have tat], chicken breast, rosti with hunter sausage, strawberry waffle with chocolate ice-cream and sauce, caramel banana with crepe and hazelnut ice-cream. SINFUL! Oh we were too hungry to take any pictures at the beginning.

Anyway thanks babes for the presents! Really appreciate it and thanks for the effort! Love Ya!

And that summaries the events after the last disgusting paper

2005-11-28T23:51:00.000+08:00

I was chatting with someone from my secondary school and I found that not one but two people from my school [my batch] have already gave birth. One unmarried, one married but divorce. It is kind of scary to think of the social stigma they have to face and the responsibilities they have to take on. However, I do question the rationality behind such behavior. Is this what call love?

The other day at the hospital, I saw this girl looking no more than 14 handcuffed to the railing of one of those beds. Beside her sat a police officer. I asked my aunt whether she knew why the girl was so. My aunt had overheard this young girl being scolded for hanging out with the wrong people and getting involved with a fight. Another of my aunt said it was cruel to handcuff her as she was marched out of the hospital later on in the evening. It is apparent that the girl’s future is gone. See how people you thought as friends can destroy you.

a note of gratitude

2005-11-06T06:18:00.000+08:00

Interesting scene i saw over the weekend.

My grandma's dog - Ricky plays fetch with my mother. There's no mistake how's the sentence is phrased. He throws it and if it goes a lil too far from him, my mother runs and picks it up for him. how hilarious is that?

whee!

2005-10-06T21:17:00.000+08:00

After a 4 hour project, we have finally accomplished our project! well at least the poster... and its soo pretty!

Not forgetting the veil...

whee!

ARGH !!

2005-09-12T20:15:00.000+08:00

This is my fifth day medicated. The only thing that is healthy are the germs. They are not going away. My mother insisted that I go see the doctor again. I asked her why she didn't want to bring me. "Next time go UK how?" was the answer.

Seems like a recurring theme for my mother to avoid doing stuff for me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its so damn hard to plan my birthday and it doesn't help that some shitters ain't helping. So many things, so little time.

The Frustrated French Fry remains.

So the plane took off into the night sky. Away it goes. Gone.

Flashback!

2005-09-10T23:47:00.000+08:00

Haha...I felt very tempted to start on this "walk down memory lane" after I read xuan and xqs' blogs. Sometimes, when I look back, I think it's really amazing how I managed to grow so big (maybe not literally...). But when I picture myself staring down at a scrawny and asthmatic Melvin, with his already small frame shrinking by the day (almost every part of me was declining in size except probably the ears), and his face blue from the protests launched in his body against the lack of oxygen; I really wondered how I made it so far. Of course, none of this would have been possible without my loving parents, who gave their all to raise this sickly and problematic child, despite the meagre income they earned back then (we couldn't even afford proper tiles for the floor back then). Special mention goes out to my dearest mother (who just celebrated her birthday yesterday with two additional members in the family)...wo3 ai4 wo3 de4 jia1 ren2!

Haha...now...for me to indulge in a little bit of reminiscence and musing over the fond, and not-so-fond memories I had in the past 6937920000 seconds of my life....

1) (Sorry to start with an unpleasant one...) Getting my 5 yr old head cracked open by running straight on into the corner of a piece of porcelain my father was carrying. In the ride to the hospital, I soaked two towels with my red blood cells, and had 14 stitches on the right side of my head (scar still visible today). Fell in love with Milo after I tasted a very gao3 (thick) one in the hospital. Shiok.
Accident marked the end of my "chubby-baby" days...mutated into a horribly underweight child with an equally overweight head. Think ET.

2) Tearing (not crying) when my mum left me in the kindergarten for the first time. A cute little girl offered me tissue. So embarrasing! I made up my mind to bring my own tissue in future (a habit I still keep).

3) Moved in and out of hospital due to bouts of asthma and respiratory problems. Nearly depleted my parents' savings due to the high hospitalisation fees. My father quit his civil job and started his own business.

4) Slipping and falling at the dustbin when I was schooling in primary one. A primary six boy helped me up. I remember this incident because the area around the dustbin was slimy, oily and stinky.

5) Slipping and cracking my chin on the toilet bowl at home. Splattered blood over the toilet seat. Scar remains today too.

6) Slipping and falling near the washing machine. Had my first sprain. Chinese physician at Zion Road marvelled me with his tui1 na2 skills.

7) Sat for my Pri 3 Math exam paper with a fever. Rushed to toilet to puke twice. Scored 100 pts for the paper.

8) Had a group of close friends in Pri 5-6. We were mad about wrestling and soccer. Still my group of closest frens today.

9) Had my first crush. Partially reciprocated. Good.

10) Scored 266 for my PSLE. Made in into an all-boys school situated on top of a hill.

11) Was dragged to the gym to have my overgrown hair hacked away by the gym teacher in Sec One. Traumatised badly, I made up my mind never to flout school rules again. Alas...I went back many times to the same teacher to receive instructions to mop the gym floor or pluck out weeds from the roadside.

12) Discovered I couldn't sing Chinese songs that well anymore cause my voice had broke.

13) Became a boy in blue. Joined NPCC at a young cadet. Started my obsession with polishing shoes.

14) Went with Taming to disturb the school caretaker, Uncle Gopal while he was sleeping. Was chased into a toilet but narrowly avoided being punched.
- Hello Taming...have fun in Texas!

15) Was threatened with public caning in Sec 3 for changing icon names on the desktop. Yes Xiqian...it's the same person who threatened to expel you. Balls to him.

16) Asked an IRC friend from RV out for a movie outing. My first attempt at dating!

17) Scored an A2 for Physics in the O'Levels. Decided Physics wasn't really for me.

18) Spent the most magical and memorable 2 years of my life with a bunch of extraordinary gentlemen and ladies - the 69-ers.

19) Andrew's helmeted gel head. Ek and Xiqian head butts. Quek's guffaw. Shengwei's nasal noise pollution (which I have gotten used to nowadays). Paul's book-spinning. Jingting's replicated book-spinning. Andy's soaked PE attire. Tongcai's dilemma (to sack me or not to sack me from the Guitar club).

20) Trashing Andrew in numerous arm-wrestles. He makes up for it by doing more pull-ups than me.

21) Getting puffy eyes and a mild concussion after a pillow fight with the Hwachong Softball Captain.

22) Developed soft spot for another girl + feeding cats at a chalet and getting niaoed for it. Tried my best to appear @ my nicest in front of her. Was probably close but never there. Learnt the importance of courage in a lot of things I do.

23) Attempted a flopped dance item with Karwai. Joining talentime with her and Paul. Sang ni zui zhen gui! Flop also. (Karwai: if you're reading this...I'm sorry).

24) Andrew flew me up in a plane he piloted. Once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thanks bro.

25) Scored a Merit for Chem 'S'. Missed a perfect record again.

26) Oh yes...attending a Cadet Insp course with kh, gershon, ks and adrian. Had fun with jerrycans and nasty, tekkanish instructors. Brought what we learnt back to our cadets in Chinese High.

27) Saying the national pledge and parade commands in front of the school every Wed.

28) Was 1st, 2nd and 3rd for 3 categories in Hwachong's carrom comp.

29) Hearing singing ("Right Here Waiting") in the officer's mess at 2am on my way to the toilet in Tekong. Wondered who/what was waiting down there.

30) O.O.C. in SISPEC because of slippery tendons in ankes. Explains the slips and falls I had.

31) Receiving a PDA from my boss and colleagues in Stagmont camp.

32) Won 500 dollars in an essay comp. Co-treated the 69-ers to Lao Pat Sat supper with Andrew.

33) Received my MAS Scholarship. Turned out to be the only local scholar for tt year. Met a confidante in Rishi.

34) Joined NUS Arts. Re-united with Sw.

35) Dolus! Fun + brothers + friends (family) + truth-and-truths + xuan dear.

36) Opened my heart to accomodate one (and only) girl. Found the keys to the same girl's heart. Built a corridor across both rooms and two became one (no suggestive connotations intended).

37) Making a girl cry on her birthday. (This does not qualify as part of my fond memories).

37) CAP 5 (yoohoo! Perfect score finally!) Lost to two girls in the arts faculty. Beat all other guys~!

38) Handsewn books, mosaic artpieces, knitted penguins, shirts, cards, flowers, birthday cake, hugs and kisses from xuan.

39) MAF in Hwachong (4 hrs ago).

Happy National Day peepz!

2005-08-10T01:54:00.000+08:00

It's a day of food and books. Went to this restuarant for lunch and they are giving away a third crab for every two purchase. My two meals today consisted of lots of crab..

Anyway, I finally found time to finish the two books that i started. They are Dan Brown's Deception point and Jeffery Archer's Sons of fortune. Their style, theme, methods of writing and so on are worlds apart but nevertheless, I couldn't help but put down the book till the very last page.

Alas, the very last drop of wine from the bottle seems to take its effect, along with the aching body that is beckoning for bed. Till the next entry, Happy National Day and hope you guys enjoy the 'heavenly' first week of school. good night

Two day week

2005-08-04T21:17:00.000+08:00

Life

2005-07-31T01:40:00.000+08:00

Life's good. My aunt and bro are back from Paris. I got new clothes and another new bag. French clothes.. oh and alot of hot rock cafe badges...will make a list soon. Oh i went sembawang park today. The view was superb but it was rather dark. Damn ulu to..

The memories were good but now its bad because its there. Every corner, every where.

2005-07-23T12:22:00.000+08:00

Oh.. I finally went on my birkie’s shopping trip and guess what? I did not buy any! Ya, but that does not mean that we did not buy anything.

As I was half an hour late, Meiyin went shopping alone and she bought a mango top! As I lost the urge to buy birkies, we headed to Heeren as she wanted to buy Harvanas slippers (Jennifer told me it cost $5 a pair in Brazil) and I found Kelvin and Ben working there, Small world! I found a bright red pair but I decided to k.i.v. After she got the slippers she wanted, we went to Mambo where we bought the same funky big yellow bag. Next, we walked around Heeren before going to Paragon to check out the jeans at Guess?. As there was nothing and it was already 8.30 p.m, we went to Thai Express for dinner. With a contented stomach, we went to Wisma’s Topshop as she was contemplating whether to buy a top. In the end, we walked out of Topshop with our purchases. Oh btw, I bought a limited edition Adidas shoes from there.

After sending her home, I went to pick up my friends at Kallang Bahru. A supposed 5 minute car ride took 20 minutes to go because there is no Kallang Bahru on the PIE(change airport). Destination Cosy Bay was ensued. It was damn nice except we were all too lazy to go right to the top as the toilet was on the first level. As it neared their closing time, they started shooing everyone out. We headed to Geylang to see the prostitutes. It was quite interesting because at each lane, different groups of prostitutes congregate. At the first lane we passed, it was the young ones. Thai, Chinese (PRC), classy (PRCs) with boob jobs, transvestites were found in the following lanes. We went to eat Geylang Beancurd after that as I was too tired to drive home. The weariness of being awake for 18 hours had caught up with me.

As I am typing this, early on a Saturday morning, I am looking forward to cheap, sleazy ktv session with ivy, ernie and yingy later in the day. Ok, back to bed. I need to sleep off the hang over that is starting to develop.

2005-07-23T11:05:00.000+08:00

Haha, it's been so long since I last blogged again. The hols are finally ending... :( I don't recall doing anything really productive these couple of months. Aside from the tutoring assignment I got a couple of weeks ago, my days have been spent lazing ard, playing golf and meeting up with friends. But hey...days of blissful slacking like these are dangerously running short in our lives. Think of it...after our last few yrs in NUS, we'll begin our working lives. And then everyone 'll be in this mad rush to outperform and outlast one another in their respective working agencies. Where to find a 3-mth holiday anywhere? Haha...but of course, things are not as bleak as I've painted them out to be. There'll always be time to meet up with friends and to chill out in a corner of Singapore somewhere :)

Eh wait, did I just say I've not achieved anything much these hols? Haha I take back my words...In fact, I've found myself a partner to share my happiness, my woes and sorrows! She's better than any award, any scholarship or any dean's certificate i tell ya! ok...i gtg get ready for a dinner tonite! so paiseh to end another terribly short entry. bye ppl!

2005-07-18T23:22:00.000+08:00

Wow! last sat i went to 2/3 of the places, i spent my 20th birthday. Namely, Altivo and Fisherman V. Oh i found dis really cool bar at central mall that has lawn chairs that faces the longkang. Nevertheless, it was a smashing saturday no less. Damn, i am gettin old. No longer club hopping.. pub hopping now.

Alcohol Content(divide by three of us) :
1 strawberry margarita
1 screwdriver
1 mango margarita
1 mini tumbler of beer
1 jug of beer
6 bottles of beer

Don't ask me how i got home.

Countdown:

2 months left of p-plate
2 weeks left of work
1 week to pay day!
4 days left till weekend
4 days left till birkies-day
1/2 book of prison diaries III - heaven

There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say good-bye....

Get to know yourself

2005-07-08T21:55:00.000+08:00

http://quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

one of those..

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Disappointment, doldrums, frustrations. Give me an aspirin already.

The nitty gritty

2005-07-03T15:58:00.000+08:00

Happy 21st Birthday Natty!~ And hope you have a fantastic trip! Let's meet up when u get back!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, yesterday was quite an experience.

Met Pearlynn and QL for Seoul Garden for lu-ner (lunch + dinner) where we ate till we were stuffed and the buffet ends only at 945pm! The fun thing was that we were playing masak- masak with real food! Although some tasted quite bad, I can say overall was rather good.

Next, we went to get our k-fix at kbox at cineleisure. Although we were suppose to get like only 2 hours of singing, they forgot that we were still inside! As a result, we got an extra 45 minutes! (although teo heng sleazy ktv is still MUCH cheaper)

Hmm, I am so glad the Great Singapore Sale is over. Town is so much less crowded!

After that, we went to Bali Bar (I heard it as Barley Bar) which was found behind Meridian Hotel. It's an open air bar which looks pretty much like Fisherman Village except that instead it has a road instead of the sea. The place is really chic and it being within the city yet away from the fast pace of life, which is a great plus point! When the soccer match between morocco and brazil was over, we to meet Tyrone and Eugene.

Whilst the guys were watching their soccer, Pearl and I had a really great heart to heart talk. Though there were some issues that had past, but we brought up and talked it through. Through that, we really had a better understanding of each other and I’m really glad our friendship can take the test of time. Love ya babe!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its almost one month since I started work. At the beginning, it was rather hard at the initial period but after a while I got the hang of it. It starts to get interesting. Although there was a lot of OT and everything, at the end of the day, my boss makes an effort to thank me. It makes it all worthwhile. I am glad that I did not give up at the beginning.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh! Did you know there is a Sakura Restaurant at Far East and it does not serve Japanese food? It serves thai.

birkies! birkies! birkies!

2005-06-23T22:01:00.000+08:00

my best friend and i are going to get birkies in two weeks time! so exciting!

the pink one or the white one?

Feverish tunes

2005-06-16T22:32:00.000+08:00

I'm supposed to be in school for pre-camp now, but I'm running a fever so I've no choice but to join the camp one day late. Boohoo... Thanks Mel, once again, for helping me dig out my under-utilised user name. I promise I'll write it down somewhere this time.

Anyway, the past week has really been hectic for me. On Tues, my JC frens and I stayed over @ Andrew's house and literally spent the whole nite sitting in front of the tv. Nonono...we were not watching adult films like u thought. We were playing Winning Eleven on a borrowed PS2 set. Paul and me, being the unbeatable duo, had to sit through more than 10 consecutive wins before we decided to let others have a chance at winning. Which probably explains why I came down with sore eyeballs and a fever. :(

On Sunday, I spent a meaningful and significant evening with Xuan. The 6th of June, being our 1st mth anniversary, was spent in 2 relatively isolated and romantic locations in Singapore. haha...our 1st destination may seem rather perculiar and even bizarre to some ppl. We travelled down to Kranji War memorial for a bit of sightseeing and to express our veneration for the war dead. Initially equipped with a camera in hand, we finally decided not to take any pictures there as we had no wish to disturb the tranquility and unruffled serenity of the memorial grounds.

Haha...but the camera finally came to use when we went down to Cosy Bay at Tanjong Rhu for our dinner. I've been there a couple of times with some of my jc friends. But this day, the weather seemed exceptionally good, the sky seemed unusually beautiful, and even the food
tasted extraordinarily good!After dinner, Xuan and I took a walk down the breezy walkway along the river. Mmmm...a perfect ending to a wonderful evening! Haha, i shall not blog abt everything and leave xuan with nothing to blog abt. Shall go slp now...the med's making me feel drowsy already. I'll b back from CSC camp on the 21st!

2005-06-16T22:16:00.000+08:00

Beautiful scenary, beautiful girl!

2005-06-14T21:05:00.000+08:00

It was a bad day till I got my Snow Wolf Lake Tickets! wheee!

Besides dis ticket, i also got a traffic ticket! damn! thankfully, mum's paying for me. So its not that bad. haha

Its a happy day!

2005-06-11T00:24:00.000+08:00

Its 7.03 in the morning and I am having insomnia. So what's to do till I can catch my twenty winks? Give in to Jasmine’s insistence for the whole week to blog.

A lil recap for what took place a span of three weeks.

Three weeks ago,
It was Pearlynn's birthday. Manage to see people from the old days that I have not seen in ages such as Sandy, Martin f*-face, Crystal, Jive blah blah blah… I got unfortunately drunk as I had to finish 1/5 of the jug of beer for the birthday girl. Zach injured his arm while playing with the guys. This resulted to one broken table and a three stitch injury. Thus, leaving me "banned" from going to the party world at Orchard for a while. Thankfully, no compensation was sought for the table.

Two weeks ago,
Eugene's birthday. Met up with Pearl for dinner and to shop for his present first. Thankfully, we saw Tyrone, which saved us the trouble of thinking what to get for Eugene. Oh guess where's the location? Party world at Shenton way. Seem like my Saturday was repeated. Anyway, once again, booze flowed readily. I guess age has caught up with me as I decided to abstain and stick to my favourite drink –mango freeze.

Oh, I really pitied the birthday boy. Once his parents left the room, the guys started making him drunk and biting him (it’s a long story). He was hurled up in the corner, unable to stand up. In short, he was in a really bad shape. Apparently things got worse after I left. The guys started throwing the remains of the 3.5kg cake at each other, filling the room with cake. Two fights almost broke out that night and some one went to fool around with the fire extinguisher. Well, what would you expect of having 30 jugs of beer for 10 guys?

I don't think I would be returning there for awhile either.

This week,
How bad can the week be if you had Gelare ice cream with waffles? I'm sure Jas and Ivy will agree with that.

Went to the IT fair at expo. The anticipation for the fair was ruined when I had to drive around the carpark for twenty minutes to look for a parking place. My mood was further ruined when it was so packed in the exhibition hall. Anyway, my aunt bought a HP printer cum scanner for $199 (cheap cheap!) and they gave a trolley like thingy along with it so that you can cart the merchandise easily. How very convenient!

My mom led me into thinking that I had incurred a traffic ticket when later did we realize it was hers. Boy was I relieved.

Anyway, my mom gave me a job to edit some photos for her and these photos were to be used in an advertisement for Shanghai. I can't wait for it to come out. Guess things are starting to look up. Whee!

Very long nv blog...lemme talk more

2005-05-18T23:53:00.000+08:00

Haha, after a 3-mth hiatus, I'm finally back! Thanks Mel...for helping me relocate my user name, and for reminding me that this blog address faces the danger of being shortened to nasa.blogspot.com. Don't fret ladies and gentlemen...cause Melvin aka Booboo is back!

Yes...for those who guessed it right...Melvin = Booboo = me! This has to be one of the proudest declarations I have ever made in my whole life. (The other extremely immodest moment was when I bigheadedly told my A' levels Chemistry invigilator that I was colour-deficient and that she was obliged to tell me the colour of the swirling precipitate in my test-tube).

Besides pride, I also feel incredibly blessed to be able to find such an invaluable treasure to accompany me through the next few phases of my life. Haha...I'm so glad I chose the decision to stay in Singapore during the last round of my scholarship interview a few years back. Otherwise, I would never have met Xuan...and I'll probably be somewhere in the States or some other part of the world; true...I could be immersed in the midst of beautiful scenaries (which I only see through postcards or pictures from the Internet) or living in fascinating cultures, but I would be walking alone...and that alone takes the significance and joy out of everything. Beautiful memories are meant to be shared. I may be able to register and commit a lot of things I experience and observe to memory (which will stay with me for a considerable period of time). But there is no point in keeping all these to myself, only to occasionally fish them out to muse over. The ridiculous "Made.in.Singapore" Sharity Elephant (who could float above the ground to scare away crooks because he had such a big heart) was right about one thing afterall - the joy of sharing.

Haha...before I start sounding like a communist leader, I want to just conclude my point. Xuan: Thanks for letting me into your life and allowing me to play a greater role in your life. I really appreciate you and I look fwd to spending many more unforgettable moments with you. =0)

Kudos to my two buddies Andrew and Shengwei for helping out with Operation Candlelight! I won't forget my treat to you! But of course, the friendship I've built up with these two people extends much more beyond materialistic issues. We must have been biological brothers in our previous lives or something to be able to bond so closely to one another. But seeing that one has an insatiable appetite, while the other could really do with some extra kilos, I will still give them a big treat.

Time really flies past us without us realising it. We're all Yr 2 students now! This time last year, we were still submitting our Arts Camp fees to Meiyin and Kailing at Cafe Cartel (@ Raffles City Tower...see, my memory never fails me), and getting ready bandanas and cheonging attire for Arts Camp. I didn't know how Arts Camp was going to turn out, and I never imagined tt I would meet a bunch of dynamic and intimate friends like my Dolus brothers and sisters! We're just such a cosy, snug and comfortable group (haha...you all sound like sofa seats now). Dolus members will always stay united and close to one another like we did in Arts Camp ok? Next outing...we must get full strength! Then we can have our family meal around the dining table again. Only this time, some roles have to be swapped to avoid charges of incest being brought against some family members haha.

I'm also thankful I still keep my JC buddies close to me...in fact, I've just returned from a gathering with the guys today. We are still mo4 qi4 shi2 zhu2! Xiqian's cackle still never fails to send chills down our backs; while Quek's booming laughter and Eng Khoon's fake American accent still amuses me up till today. There're still so many things we want to do! CS, mahjong (quek beware!), soccer, chalet...and so much more!

Haha I have so much more I want to say...but I'm very tired now. Shall continue another day.

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to good manners and elegance.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Wah! Its been a long time since I went zouk…. MONTHS! (I can imagine nana going 'tsk tsk' in the background.) Nevertheless, it was good clean fun with my dearies, Nat & pok at En Lounge, Newsroom Bar and Zouk. Pretty smart of Phuture to charge a surcharge of $3 in addition to Zouk Entrance. Price Segmentation! Well at least it is not THAT crowded. Still tired from yesterday’s activities… will be continuing this later… perhaps.

All in a day's work

2005-05-10T23:17:00.000+08:00

Today, I attended an examination NOT as a student but as an invigilator! How interesting is that? Its rather intriguing to see how through the eyes of the invigilators rather than of a student, I guess. Firstly, I got to see the many postures of students – the double leg crosses, the slouch, the busy body and the list goes on. Secondly, I was quite surprised to see some of my peers from both my secondary and JC. Its feels rather weird not taking the exam with them but rather invigilating them. Thirdly, it is a job that pays you to walk around, use your handphone or even encourage you to sit if you are tired. How difficult can that be?

Anyway, something happened in the first session. A person set his alarm to ring every 15 minutes! The Chief examiner had to sink his knees within the mountain of bags so as to seek the ringing bag. The guy invigilating the row next to mine, whispered “time bomb! Time bomb!”

Oh yah, I went out to my car during the break between the first and second break to grab my umbrella. Three guys came up to me to ask me whether I could drop them off outside! WTF? Gosh, don’t they know what shame is? Damn, I don’t even know you!

Oh well, all in a day’s work.

Hmm, seems like everybody is going overseas but me! I wanna go overseas too! I hope the weather’s great tmr! I’m going sentosa! Wheee!

2005-04-22T03:02:00.000+08:00

I saw two weird-interesting things today!

1. I was at Marine Parade Lib studying, when suddenly B-U-R-P!! erupted, breaking the still silence. Everyone turned around to see the culprit. It was this Malay man with a really huge globe-like protruding stomach. He did not even have the decency to act guilty. Anyway, in the span of 45 minutes, he added 3 or 4 more. I do not know if this is a prank or not, but he definitely does not adhere to social norms. Thankfully for him, they did not throw him out. However, I question his motives for being in the library – he was not reading a book at all!

2. I was sending my friend home and I passed Geylang. There was a raid in one of those sleazy nightclubs. All the old ah peks were standing outside the joint waiting to be questioned. I bet it must be a big embarrassment for them! Oh well, serves them right for going there in the first place.

Anyway, here is one interesting sociological fact.
Prostitution actually saves the marriages. I think that is why in Singapore, prostitution is legalized.

That’s all folks! Here’s wishing you good lucks for the upcoming exams!

Where have all the cute guys gone?

Why I love 10 things i hate about u

2005-04-13T18:56:00.000+08:00

I hate the way you talk to me
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around
And the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way
I don't hate you
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Some funny conversations

2005-04-11T14:42:00.000+08:00

I was walkin along the corridor one day when i heard:
girl A: I slept with him last night

Her friends' eyes were ready to pop out

girl A: My dog la!

--------------------------------------------------------------
I was in soci of deviance class:
Lloyd: So does anyone buys dvds? how much do they cost?

Fadillah: Why buys dvds when u can d/l?

I-don't-know-his-name-person: blank dvds?

--------------------------------------------------------------

People always say its the men who makes the suit, but i thought its the other way. I had a presentatio in school on sat and this group presented wore suits! One of the guys, looked really good! On a normal day, he was just another average joe. Thus, my theory is that if you want that person to notice u, DRESS UP! GO Shopping! any one wants to get anythiing from hollistico.com? muahhaha

how weird is tat?

2005-04-07T01:12:00.000+08:00

i was at as7 refreshing my blog and i saw nana's post. that was at 12pm. when i got home dis evening, i looked at my blog again and der was no sign of nana's entry! how weird is tat? i think i might be imaginating things!

I have an 8am class tmr and i cant get to sleep! the reason why? my brother was hungry so he made me drive him out to buy durians. seeing that the durians looked really nice, i had my fair share of it. Now i am soo bloated and cant sleep. how am i to get past tmr? sighhh

Let's talk about sex, baby!

2005-04-03T17:28:00.000+08:00

I always wondered. Is sex merely a penetration or is it an emotional attachment? Not that I would do it anytime soon to answer the question in the mind. Does it mean that after you have done the physical act, you have taken a step further with someone? Therefore, am I safe to say that the male individual should be responsible for the spill? If so, what about one night stands? Are they actions of no emotional consequences

Anyway, I feel that the government policy of increasing population is hilarious. In order to bring about aids awareness, they are advising abstinence of pre-marital sex instead of the use of protective measures with their secular teachings. As a result of this, a norm of not having sex as an activity but rather as way of procreation is enforced. Should there be an individual that happens to fall out of the line, the individual will be deemed as a ‘slut, loose’ for females while a ‘player’ for the males (how discriminationg!). Thus, the notion of sex is seen as a chore rather than fun. How is it possible to increase population then?

Btw, I heard that sex is a good way of losing weight. Weight watchers! Here’s an exercise for u!

wow

I feel like a bitch for wad i done but i think i deserve the credit. oh wells

Down with the second last project alreadY and boy am i glad!! (: However that also signifies that the exams are drawing near! damn!!

I watched Wimbledon the movie over the weekend... once again it made me want to play tennis. Any one wanna play?

It is amazing that that the movie 'In good company' was a sold out on Saturday nite. Nevertheless, 'stage beauty' was such a fantastic movie! It was a movie with controversial issues like homosexualism and gender coupled with hot sizzling sexual scenes. Its amazing that is M18 and not R21. Similar to Jasmine, it made me want to read Shakespeare again!

Pok: I’ll be there for you no matter wads k (: Love ya!
Dolus: BATAM!! BATAM!!!

Tourism project is extended by a couple of days which gives me the weekend free t0 enjoy! YAY!

Beach boys - Wouldn't it be nice
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong

You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we've been spending

I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married
And then we'd be happy

Wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice
