2 0 0 9 !

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

i spent my last day of 2008 at pa's fish farm in limchukang. together with many many people. very close relatives, close relatives and not so close relatives. haha. actually it was because there is this prayer thingy that we have to go through once every seven years if i'm not wrong. reached the farm in the afternoon. some of my cousins were already there. initially, it was a bit boring. but soon, more and more people came. by about 10pm, there were many people. a lot of small kids. probably around 20? the place was like a child care centre with little children running here and there. i celebrated the new year with my cousins. we gathered and brought the box of party poppers to the gate of the farm. didnt really count down to 2009. i think we missed the time. hahaha. so we just popped, played around and took some photos. so fun to be with them man. the prayer started at about 1am. and lasted till 4+, 5am. everyone was so tired. many went back home after it. i stayed with some cousins. slept from about 6am to 8am. went out for a walk to another farm nearby, wandered around and came back. those who went home came back too. though the prayer was over, there was still a 10-course lunch. 13 tables. many many many relatives came. more than last night i guess. the offerings for the prayer were distributed and soon many left. we, being the host, stayed behind to clear the stuff and left only in the late afternoon. reached home at 6+ just now. so tired.

yesterday's countdown was totally awesome man. at limchukang. ulu ulu place. it had been a long time since i last went there. everything is still the same. nothing has changed much. the cousins have become closer than before. yeah. there's plan to have a singing session together in feb. i'll be meeting them again 2 days later. coz one of them is getting married. my 好表哥. the couple have been together for 8 years since poly. woo. looking forward to 3rd. we gonna have fun together man. tmr will be fun too. meeting up with 1007 to play volleyball. yeahyeah.

6a02 bbq (29th dec)

it's the first time i organise a bbq. the planning didnt go smoothly. there were times i felt frustrated. sudden unexpected changes. i have learnt a lot of this experience. it 1st started with contacting the pri sch classmates. the bbq was changed from 27/28 to 26 and then to 29. i had sent out a lot of msges to everyone and was so paiseh to keep texting them. haha. the good thing was almost all replied me. thankyou. i started browsing through the BBQ wholesale website to cater the bbq stuff. came up with a list of items that we will be ordering. but could only managed to contact amelia on sat. it was too late. we couldnt place any order. when amelia texted me at 2am on sat, i was at a loss. man. what am i going to do. there was no choice but to go supermarket and buy everything ourselves. so me and amelia would be doing the shopping. had msged the rest who were coming for to bbq to help out, but only chunying could make it.

left house at 11.45am to meet chunying and amelia. but last minute amelia called me and told me she couldnt come. so i met with with chunying and we ordered satay in chongpang. it cost 50cents per stick. it could have been cheaper. then we went to gaint at sembawang shopping centre. realised that the things were relatively more expensive. so we walked to sunplaza and bought everything needed for bbq besides raw food and the drinks. walked back to michael's house. came out with him to gaint and bought the remaining things. rested for a while at his house before i walked back to yishun to collect the satay and cooked food i ordered few days ago. bbq started at about 6+. the classmates came. bbq-ed the food, ate, talked, watched tv... we also played some orientation games (what, who, huh? and watermelon). hahaha. most of ppl left at 11+pm. the remaining 7 stayed overnight at michael's house. we played wii. yeah. very fun. we played cards too. 4 left in the early morning at about 6am. then me, michael and minyang fell asleep. hahaha. the 3 of us didnt sleep the entire night. slept all the way to around 12noon. went for lunch at sembawang shopping centre. i ordered bachor mee. the queue was long. thought that it would be nice. but it was the opposite. the meat was still raw. i'll never ever eat from that stall again. took bus back home. bathed and then went out again to the post office to pay the tv licence. came home. slept.

i'm glad the bbq turned out well. special thanks to michael for letting us hold the bbq at his place, chunying for helping out with the purchase of bbq things, zhenchao (marshmellow master) for helping to start the fire and bbq-ing the food. and also not fogetting the rest. benjamin, shumin, peipei, minyang, tricia, mingsheng, tammy, suwi, amelia, jean and angeline. thanks for coming.

wilson and me then travelled to woodlands. michael had invited us to his house. a post christmas/early new year party/celebration? man. i havent really talk to micahel for such a long time. i last saw him on the yck platform, but didnt have to chance to talk. he boarded the train and i alighted. went to causeway point to get him smth before heading to his house. quite a number of people came. khairul didnt come. he's mia. haha. if not the fantastic four will be back together. hahaha. inside joke. talked and updated things we missed out. still the same old michael. yeah. left at about 11 and went back home.

out again this morning to meet lejun and bernard. i overslept. luckily bernard will be late too. hahaha. so we pushed back 30mins. took 980 to beach road. lejun went to the army market and bought many many things. bernard bought 2 black tapes only. haha. on our way there, the both of them were telling me about their interesting experience in tekong. hehe. ate at the golden mile complex and wandered around bugis. took 980 back. bernard went home. me and lejun went to northpoint. he printed some photos (to lejun: thanks man!). met my brother there and we 3 went to chongpang. lejun wanted to laminate the photos and buy specs hook. walked home with my brother.

old changi hospital

it's funny how
you keep me running
going and coming
i like the feeling
it's out of control

you keep me running - Michael Learns to rock



today is saturday. went running twice this week. was quite happy with myself. managed to run in and out of the park connector without stopping. tiring but fun. previously always run in, rest for a while then walk out. 'distributed' my resume to many companies. but none replied. why like that. i even sent it to the zoo. hahaha. i want a job leh.

attended christine's bday party at aranda country club in pasir ris on thursday. me and jj reached at around 4. i think we were the first to reach. put our bags at the chalet and then went to rent bicycles. cycled around pasir ris park, from one end to another. went into the mangrove swamp. it's my 1st time going into it. had heard stories about it. if we were to go at night, it would be super scary. there's no light in it. went around to find the red house. but cannot find leh. so we cycled to aloha loyang. tricked the vending machine and bought 2 bottled drinks for $2 instead of $3. it should have been $1.50 for 2. rmbed yr have chalet there too. so we called him and just nice he reached too. so we 3 continued cycling. followed the park connector and cycled all the way to changi beach. before arriving at the beach, we went up to old changi hospital. while we were at the entrance, one angmoh suddenly appeared and went up the flight of stairs into the hospital. wondered if he was a human or a ghost. we left our bicycle below and went up the stairs too. but didnt went into the rooms or what. haha. a lot of mosquitoes. took some photos and then headed to changi beach. stayed there a while then returned to pasir ris. back at the chalet, we ate and then sat around until 10+ before going home. we had fun. let's go cycling again soon.

went to changi again yesterday night for dinner. and bernard finally called me. haha. he sounded a bit tired, but overall still ok. i feel very tired today. very bored. there's nothing much to do. cui ah.


we went up these flight of stairs.

the flight of stairs is on the left of this gate.

jj scared got ghost behind him? hahaha.

Tears in heaven - Eric Clapton

Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
if I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven

Time can bring you down
time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
have you begging please
Begging please

Beyond the door
there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven

Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
Would you be the same
if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

secrets

woowoowoo. so many secrets. so many things which i didnt know. hahaha.

ronald's concert

i attended my cousin's band concert this evening. it was a christmas concert. my 3rd time watching my dearest cousin (ronald) performing. 1st was some time ago at woodgrove sec. 2nd was last year at rp. and this is the 3rd time. the pieces they performed were all related to Christmas. the conductor was CPT Muhamad Yusri B. Md. Ali. i like the conductor. this concert, like the previous one last year, was engaging. these are the only two concerts which i find special. there is no emcee. plus the conductor will directly interact with the audience. this year's concert was a bit different from last year's. there was participation from the audience to conduct one of the pieces and also to sing. the conductor himself sang too. he sang very well. how i wish i can sing like him too. a great performance.

went mos burger to have dinner with ronald. walked around causeway point. and right now i'm at his house, blogging. haha. yeahyeah. previously had always pangseh my cousin because of schoolwork and the busy schedule. now can finally meet up with him, catch up and update on things we missed out. haha. yeah. Chirstmas is coming soon! HOHOHO.

empty room

yesterday was the standard chartered singapore marathon 2008. participant 22753 finished the 42.195km marathon. woo. biaoge is super zai man. haha. i should have signed up for it too. then can experience the long torturous run. maybe not a run, but a challenge. a challenge which requires perserverance, determination and endurance. not only will you experience the satisfaction and happiness derived from finishing the marathon, you will also get to wear the 'finisher of 42.195km' t-shirt. plus you get a medal too! hahaha. maybe next year i'll be one of the 50000 runners. probably just half-marathon for a start. new t-shirt for me. finisher of 2.195km. hahaha. watched a show called 'udon' at night. quite a nice show.

新不了情 - 万芳

老歌playback.

新不了情 - 万芳

心若倦了 泪也干了
这份深情 难舍难了
曾经拥有 天荒地老
已不见你 暮暮与朝朝

这一份情 永远难了
愿来生 还能再度拥抱
爱一个人 如何斯守到老
怎样面对一切 我不知道

回忆过去 痛苦的相思忘不了
为何你还来 拨动我心跳
爱你怎么能了 今夜的你应该明了
缘难了 情难了
