haz aft de 2nd day of CNY, im proud to say i got a WINDFALL for dis yr! yayy!!! haz ok at least i made up to wad i spent in de hols... damn happy abt it... but also, cant help feeling jealous of my dear bro whu, on top of getting de same amt of any pow $$$ as i did, he went on to win nearly $100 at blackjack! im sooooo jealous! damn lucky siaz!

haz i had a pool session wif my cousins too! feel so outta practice aft not playing for so long... n to think i met jeremy at Klassic too, albeit by mere coincidence... n he actually challenged me to a game! luckily he had to leave quickly so i didn manage to have tt game wif him... or else will be damn sia suay lor!

actually it wasnt de pool games tt were de highlight... it was aft de pool game when i waited at a nearby bus stop for my NR7, which as usual didn come on time, tt i met dis stranger-at-1st thr... since he lives at bedok, we shared a cab back haz... on de way i found tt he opens his own company! one helluva entrepreneur i gotta say! its a poster printing company if im not wrong haz... n he actually has stalls in many NUS bazzars! yah noe, those tt sells movie posters... they all come frm him! ok im not naming anyone cos i wanna protect pplz identity, so paiseh ar... but well, i got his namecard, n i gave him mine (yea tt one which will have no meaning in abt a week time haz)... so yea! i got another lobang! think it will be rather good for me in de future haz!

well in short, just in de 2nd day of de yr of de dog, i actually gotta noe such a nice guy n got such a gr8 lobang! also got soooo much ang pow luii! think dis yr will really be a gr8 yr for me liao!

aftermath of Dubious Bros n Reverie...

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive

It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive

It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's... my... life!!!

Haz wad more can i say... HIGH HIGH HIGH!!!
Wooooosh!!!
Great performance man!!!

im amazed abt how some alarm clocks can ring!!!

erm... i dun mean wad kinda sounds they make (now i do remember tt cock one tt goes "cock-a-doodle-doo!!! gd morning!!!" arr wadever...) but its just tt how LONG they ring!

7am: i left my room to go for a jog... passed by tt room n de alarm clock was ringing! n ringing non-stop! still ringing when de lift door closed...

8am: back in kuok aft some jogging n some enjoyment of sea breezes in west coast park... passed by tt room again... de alarm clock was STILL ringing!!!

8.45am: aft a nice bath n prep n stuff... left my room to go for my 1st lecture of de day... AND DE ALARM CLOCK WAS STILL RINGING!!!

imagine tt! ringing for 1hr45mins non-stop (i think)!!! lucky i woke up early for my jog, but i kinda pity his nxt-door neighbours... all beauty sleep disrupted by an EVIL ALARM CLOCK!

im so amazed by it! wonder wad batteries tt alarm clock runs on... MUZ be energizer!!! hahaha!!!

real shag shag weekend, thou one tt i really enjoyed!

i took part in CSC day on sat, an annual event tt got all de CSC volunteers to work together to play n have fun wif de beneficiaries... n it got me running after hyperactive kids for more than 2hrs... wow...

nxt was chionging, aft just gg home for a quick shower n dinner... didn get into MoS for Sheares bash due to de obscenely (read: OBSCENELY) LOOOOOONG queue!!! decided to go Velvet Underground aft tt, n tts whr i really had DE TIME OF MY LIFE!!! really thanx to all those whu were thr wif me yea, even thou i onie met most of u for de 1st or 2nd time haz! but one thing was tt i drank enuff to nearly knock me out cold... which really showed its effect de nxt day... OCC!!!

yea OCC aka Old Clothes Collection, something we Jam-X-ers do to raise funds... cos of de so-damn early meeting time of 9am, i had to force myself to wake up aft onie 3hrs of sleep, dragging my alcohol-beaten body to de toilet to wash-up, which didn really help much... i swear i looked like a drunkard all de way frm simei to bishan, n attracted lots of stares... even at bishan whr i tried to walk to de meeting location, found tt i culdnt really walk straight!!! wads to follow was 5hrs of pure unadulterated SAI GANG, coupled wif tt gross hangover feeling! came to de point tt i actually went 'high' frm all tt shagness... hahaha...

OCC is over, n so is my weekend... now wads left is to end off dis entry n den book-in to kuok... im gg to sleep early to9! nid to recover LOTS of hrs of lost sleep... zzzzzzzzz.........................

Been raining a lot recently... really really nice n cool weather if I culd just hide at home or my Kuok room n sleep thru... yea haha... but sadly, got more important things to do...

N its all bcos of these important things tt makes dis rain so annoying! Just wonder y thr arent any covered walkways linking Kuok n any other places like YIH or Engin fac... n tt y those LTs n tutorial rooms still have their aircon blasting in such cold weather...yah mebe im asking for too much but not being able to nua in such weather can make el_M superbly CRANKY!!!

Dunno wad to say abt dis sem... wad wif extra lectures to clear some MATLAB shit, tutorials starting THIS WEEK, n some stupid module looking soooooo eeriely similar to tt NIGHTMARISH fluid mech i had last sem! WOAH!!! n coupled wif sooooo much to do in Jam X, STEAMZ MAN!!!

But i gotta say i have been rather happy wif things tt have been gg on... yup again its 2006, i left behind wadever crapz i didn want to bring along... thou it had been rather tough... but i made it! n along de way, possibly frm de hols, i got closer wif quite a number of ppl whu have been little more than "Hi/bye" aquaintances back then... n so far, no disappointments! erm... mebe i shd say no disappointments... yet...

Just wondering, did i change? Facing so much probs last time wuld leave me jittery n sullen, but now, i dun seem to want to care abt it yet! Say truly, im still in hols mood, possibly due to de December hols not-well spent... too busy, n coupled wif some sad things... thou i forgot abt it, it seemed tt i dun even remember having a holiday at all...

Yup i wuld be looking forward to de nxt LONG hols! Much much more time to slack, join a camp, start experiencing working life, GO TAIWAN FOR A TRIP!!! Anyone? hahaz... but can onie dream of it for now, n fulfill them aft de HELLISH sem!!! so for now... MUZ JIAYOU!!!

3. ive been awarded a MERIT for CSC colours award! thou to many its not quite significant, it means A LOT to me! feel so very happy to see my efforts being recognised... thank u CSC!!!

4. dis one thou aint a very happy one... adrian's flown off to Philly!!! sobz... im gonna miss tt guy for a whole blardy yr!!! n life in chem eng will really be different w/o him... okok yah all my other 3B'ers r significant too... n if anyone were to leave us i wuld feel de pinch... n now im seeing one of them gone... haiz... but nvm... hope adrian will have a SWELL TIME in Philly!!!

5. had a LOOOONG shower todae! 6hrs! haha actually no lar... i had old clothes collection to raise funds for jam x todae... n it was raining de WHOLE FRICKIN DAY!!! so yah noe, i was basically drenched all de way down... but it was fun! n we got lots of stuff! earn a lot! neh i wun disclose any amt... but overall, im happy of how it turned out! n de ride on de lorry in de rain was really fun! hope i wun fall sick tmr haz!
