"Live like a NEET."

That's what holidays make people into.
Don't you agree?
I'm like an otaku, don't even have the drive to do anything, or go anywhere.
Well.... Except for good food =)

Let me see, for the past few days, what have i been doing?
Well, it's either playing games on PSP,
or it'd be idling online, with nothing much accomplish.
Isn't this being like a NEET?
It's not something good you know.

I also went to fetch Sis after school.
Just like how we used to when she was still in Primary school.
It seems that our bonds are getting better and better, just like how we used to be.
And i feel so happy about it.
And how i wish, this would never ever change.

And oh yes, i bought coronets from Shin Kuriya last night after work.
My god... Now i know why Sis love it so much.
The crispy-ness of the crust, the flavor of the cream.
It is definitely lovely.
And of not being able to decide which filling to get, i got both vanilla and chocolate.
So which is my preference?
Well, i'd actually prefer the chocolate filling.
For some reason that does not make sense. Haha~

And for some reason or another, i was really hungry yesterday.
So hungry, i kept buying stuff to eat.
So, putting my meals aside, i got myself crackers and snacks.
Twisties and Onigiri.
Haha~
My my, i ate alot. But i was really hungry yesterday.
I ate so much that Sis Rain wonders where all those food go.
I wonder too. But aww well, i like it that way actually.
I love what i am now =)

Ah, aww well....
And.....
I don't know.
I have a weird feeling coming to me.
I feeling kinda jealous over something i shouldn't even have such a feeling for.
As in, it's something i shouldn't be jealous about. Or at the very least, for a normal person to.
But deep inside, it just bugs me.
It just feels so uncomfortable.
Tsk....

Finally.... My faux Cuba Libre

Ah, maybe i'll keep this short? I don't know.
Mmmm....

So just a while ago, feeling bored and rather restless, i tried something.
Feeling so curious about Cuba Libre.
So i added cola to Lime Breezer.
Yes yes, it's kinda like a troll physics kinda stuff.
Since i thought Cuba Libre is Cola with Lime juice and white rum.
And that Breezer is juice with rum, wouldn't it be the same?

So what i did was what i mentioned just now.
And guess what?
It tasted like lime cola, just with that warm aftertaste to it.
Haha~

I really gotta try Cuba Libre someday =)

Finally, Suiya is restring-ed...

Evening guys.
A very late one indeed ya?

It's a fun day.
I mean how can it not be fun?
Went to Ah Xian's place to have lunch.

Not exactly his place but the mall nearby.
The Japanese foodies that are superb.
Yummy delicious~
Need i say more?

I had Curry Katsu Don, and order a side dish of fried salmon skin.
Lovely lovely.
Even restaurants have those at low 'reserves'.
My my, sure did i enjoy my lunch.
So much so, i was too full for dinner.

After that we head to this place (I can't remember the name) to restring Sis's guitar, Suiya.
It was not too expensive as i have thought.
It's good~

After all that, i went Ah Xian's place to play our guitars.
Yes, i personally like acoustic guitar more than electric.
And it kinda spurs me on to learn guitar, and get better at it.
Even if my goal's to be a vocalist, not a guitarist, if i were to be in a band.

And he also helped with some changes in the blog.
Lovely changes, if you ask me.
What's those?
You go find it ;D
But honestly, totally great stuff. Thanks Xian ;D

Ah, gotta go. So sleepy.
Nitey nite~

While yesterday was busy, today was counterproductive.... =/

Hey people~
Guess why i was busy for yesterday?
Guess why i was counterproductive today?
I will answer all these ya? =)

Yesterday started quite an early day.
I woke up pretty early.
Prepared my uniform and psyche myself up for the test ahead.
Went to meet Si Qi in the train station, and head off for HQ.
We saw this cat nearby the HQ.
Poor child, having a bloody nose =(
Hope he/she gets well soon.

Ah, and when we were at the HQ, we met up with the others.
Saw Branson, His mom and Jasper too.
I have faith in him getting his blue belt =)
I feel so much of wanna train with him the next time i see him~

For my test, i was just plain lucky to have a senior belt to train with.
And i admit, i was rather jumpy, and even more jumpy when the adrenaline rushes.
For some reason, having too many stuff registered into your muscle memory isn't a good idea.
But overall, i think i did well ^_^

And right after the test ends, i rushed over to Granny's place to meet up with KeiKei.
And it was so lucky of me that it rains after i reached Granny's place.
Met up with KeiKei and his girlfriend.
She looks so much like the girl in Genki Rocket's music video, so pretty =D

We waited quite a while for the taxi. And we kinda thought we're gonna be so so late.
Well, luckily we didn't ^_^
It was so crowded in the airport, the lines we're long and all =/

And after sending KeiKei and his girlfriend off, i went to Terminal 3.
There's a Crocs sales there.
And i got myself two pairs of slippers there.
It's like freakin' cheap. Like $10 for one pair. Cheap isn't it? =D
Sadly Sis didn't see any which she fancies =(

Ryan was there as well.
He was just so so adorable.
Smart little fellow which i can help but to like him.
My my my, he make me feel like getting a child so much =D

At night, headed to Ray's place to do my mix tape for Jam& Hop.
Well, after trying out for a few times, i proceed to record.
I think i screwed up a little.
Especially at the back, the transition there.
But aww well, i think it was fine =)
Oh yes, and here's the mix tape.
Enjoy ^_^

And for today?
I practically slacked till late afternoon, then head off for training.
Honestly, nothing much was done =(
But well well, upcoming days should redeem myself =)

And you might be wondering why there is no pictures for yesterday,since it was so kinda eventful,right?
I lend my camera to Sis for the weekend.
So you could say, i was camera-less.
But i find it much better.
Sis took a number of awesome pictures.
So much so, i'm a big fan of her.
Well, even since before, but yea, i'm a big fan of her ;D
And i'm pretty sure she'll get better than me, very very fast =)

Ok guys. I'll leave now.
Bye~

Friday, March 18, 2011

Maybe i found the direction i want to head to...

I'm not talking about careers here.
I'm still clueless here.

You should know what i am talking about here, if you know me.
Well, i realise, i should not be stumbling around, getting myself hurt.
I should not go for people at whim.
Just for reasons which even myself cannot identify.

All the while, i should have realised that 'If loving/liking someone means hurting yourself, then by all means, stop it.'
I guess it took me long enough. Even though i have so many bad experiences with love before.
So much so, i think it can be a short story or something.

But you know, it doesn't mean i'm gonna say stuff like "I'm never gonna be in love again" or stuff like that.
You know i won't say stupid things like that. It is just stupid.
I guess i will just not try so hard to find one after all.

I realised why it is like 'putting hair lice on your head.' (I remembered someone telling me. Can't remember who.)
Maybe that's why, setting expections and following is sometimes a way to prevent yourself from getting disappointed and upset.

And you know, i too have my dream girl. I guess everyone does.
You know, my dream girl ain't Masuwaka Tsubasa.
How should i put it?
Ok, you can put it as her type would definitely make me go gaga.
But that's just that.
In my opinion, dream girl would most probably mean she's gonna be someone you wanna spent the rest of your time with.
You know, the word 'soulmate'.

So you wanna know my quality of a soulmate/ dream girl?
It's simple.
Remember me talking about girls who are like dolls?
Yea, that's my type.
Like dolls. You know, having doll-like features, features which automatically makes you say "She's like a doll."
And you expect i like girls who are fragile as they look? Here's the catch.
I like girls who are feminine, but definitely not feeble.
There's a difference between gentle and weak.
As much as this sounds impossible, 'Dolly girls who are as tough as nails.'

I know people like this exist.
Why? or rather, how? Easy.
I have seen people who are like that.
Honestly speaking, it was because of this one girl, that's why i like girls with such qualities.
You can keep on guessing who is that.

But having said all these, it's gonna be so hard to find someone like that.
People like these are rare.
And beside, i have nothing for them to like me about.

But having said that, when love come, it just comes.
And when it does, all initial plans all goes out of the window.
You can't control who you fall in love with and vice versa.
But still, it's good to have an expectation at least.

Ok, guys.
I think i'm gonna end this post.
But before i do, i wanna share with you guys some videos.
This is done by Sis Shirin.
And it's so so great. I love it alot.
I could remember she playing this tune when we were young.
That is the reason why i like this song.
That is the reason why i like 'Spirited Away'.

And the next i wanna share is this.
This is an OST song from Yosuga no Sora.
I know i know, you're probably gonna say, "Why are you watching such dirty anime? Blah Blah Blah".
But you must admit it, though twisted, the storyline was great and touching.
Same goes to the music in the anime.
That's probably why i fell for it.

This is also from the same anime. But this certainly has a cheerful tune to it.
It also adds this summer feel to it.
It is really nice, in my opinion.
You guys should try too. Um, minus the thoughts of it being a pervy anime.

Ok, i gotta go now.
There's work tomorrow. Night~

Finally, i know where can we take better pictures of the city view~

Hey people~
Ah, recently, i've been posting posts which are several days late.
Even though i have the drive to post the stuffs here, i would, in the end, procrastinate and... You know the rest.
I'm really sorry, but well, guess that's just another habit i will have to curb, ya? =)

And you know, for Sunday, i went to the IT show.
It is pretty crowded and definitely very squeezy.
I literally have to push people who get into my way, and i don't like that.
But you can say, it's a good thing that i am alone.

And i had a feel on Pioneer's DDJ.
And it is a product yet to release in the market. How cool is that?
I love it, simply love it. I mean, i would wish to have it when i have the ability to own it.
Why? It's simply awesome.
It's as if a mixdeck and a Rane rolled into one.
That mean the money on a Rane is saved ^_^

After i had enough with the crowds at the IT show, i head straight to Marina Square.
I had myself Nasi Lemak and a Popiah (Since i was hungry, and the Dim Sum shop next to it ran out of stuff =/)
I must say, i had my tummy filled. I was hungry. And feeling kinda empty somehow.
But well, that filled me up real good =)

And to wait for Jun Yao to finish his work, i roamed around the mall, buying sweets, dancing Para Para and simply wander around.
But aww well, it feels rather enjoyable, just like how i was when i was young.
Roaming around malls, putting what i have to think about somewhere far.
Seeing moving life, waiting for something. (Mom's knock-off time)
It's quite enjoyable, one of the pleasures in my life.

And after Jun Yao's knock-off time, we headed to Esplanade to take a bus back.
But after realising how crowded the bus was, we decided to take the train instead.
Unknowingly we wandered into the Esplanade and out to where we can clearly see the city view.
And as the title mentioned, i found a good place to take the city shot.
Well, you see, we wandered off the outdoor stage.
And getting tired of the show not starting early, we wander off.
And by mere chance of serendipity, we found the perfect view of the city, at the back of outdoor stage.
It provides a better view as compared to the roof garden of Esplanade.
You see the difference there?
Maybe you can't, but it's definitely better, trust me =)

We wanted to head to the train station, but well, we kinda walked off in the wrong direction and headed towards the Fullerton side.
That means the only station near there is Raffles Place, which is near to the end of Clarke Quay.
But on our way there, we went past a few great place and without a doubt, full of lovey-dovey couples.
How do you find it?

And heading back and reaching our station, we went to the nearby convenience store.
And Jun Yao got his breezer, orange-flavored.
I sipped a little, and find that it isn't that bad.
Maybe i might even like it, i don't know.
But i might wanna try experimenting adding lime breezer with cola.
Since breezer is juice with rum, would it be like Cuba Libre where Cola + Rum + Lime juice, right?
I wanna give it a try someday =)

Ah, and tomorrow's my audition day.
Finally, and i'm feeling so jittery.
How can i not?
But such an enjoyable feeling, something i look forward to.

Oh yes, before i end this...
I opened the super lemon candy i bought during Gakuensai.
3 month since i bought it.
It took me long to open it =_=
But well, how should i describe the taste....
It's pretty much like Sour Power. Even the wrapper too.
See?
It's good. Get them if you see it ok?

So many thing. So much so....

As the title suggest, i'm speaking gibberish.
I'm dead tired.
I lack sleep or something?

You see, Thursday was kinda eventful, productive too.
Went to meet the boliao guys for lunch.
We ate at the Bah Kut Teh stall nearby Central, instead of Burger King, which was what we initially wanted.
But well, it's all worth it.
It is pretty good, if you ask me. So it kinda justifies everything.

While others took the conventional Bah Kut Teh, spare ribs and all, i got myself the Pig Stomach Soup.
I like it alot. Since young, pig stomach has been my favorite.
Granny would always prepare Pig Stomach Soup whenever there is an occasion which soups prepared.

After the lunch, went Suntec's IT fair with Ah Xian and Mak. (Ray's working so couldn't come along.)
I didn't stay there too long as well.
Went to meet Mandy in Dhoby Ghaut.

We headed to National Museum of Singapore.
Discovered that there are places that we have missed during the excursion.
Afterall, everyone was rushing that day =_=
It is honestly a waste to miss it. Aww well...

And i took this
Ever since i saw the Wikipedia's article on the museum, i was inspired to take a picture like this.
It's as if 'Past meets future, and vice versa', just like what the captions below the picture meant.

And the living galleries are great.
I mean, i could take alot of great pictures there.
Don't you agree?

We headed to City Link for dinner, then off to the Esplanade.
Well, the weather wasn't doing much of a favor. It was fluctuating between drizzle and rain.
That means we couldn't head to the bridge linking to Marina Bay Sands.

We stayed at the outdoor stage and listened to the jazz performance outside.
It was rather enjoyable. Perhaps due to my love for Jazz?
But before we left for home, i finally took something i wanted to take since the Valentine's photoshoot.
There. If not for the photoshoot, i wouldn't even know such a place exist in Singapore.
Haha~

So there comes the next morning, waking up to a body filled with tiredness.
Head to school for the Lenovo's show.
While waiting for my turn, i took some pictures.
How do you think of it?
After that, went down to Dhoby Ghaut (Again.) to meet the others for a dinner at Itacho.
As much as it seems heavenly, it is as heavy as its consequences on my pocket.
It did not fill my stomach (Only had fatty tuna sushi, salmon temaki and grilled pork sushi.)
And it cost like a full meal by itself.

But before you pass this off as a waste of money, i would beg to differ.
To be honest, i have no idea how to appreciate the delicacy of tuna (Be it sushi or sashimi)
But, the fatty tuna has this rich taste to it, which is honestly great (I would be lying if i said otherwise),
and the salmon in the temaki was simply fantastic (I'm a sucker for Salmon after all).
How should i put it?
The taste is richer, and the salmon has this different texture to it, if you ask me.

To end the night last night, we went Ray's place to watch the latest movie for Jackass.
I find it much more disgusting as compared to the previous movies.
But well, it's good nonetheless.

And before i end this last post
This was done by Areen sometime ago.
Totally cool.
Love it ;D
You guys should try there sometime ya? Haha~
But remember to prepare money for it, please.
It's expensive.

The Ubin camp experience again... After so many years.

Ah, as the name suggest, it wasn't the first time i was there for camp.
Excluding NPCC related camps and activities, it has been the third time i've been there for camp.
And what do you know?
It's the same campsite i was at during the camp during Secondary 3.

It has been years since i went back there.
Lemme see... About 3 or 4 years? It was the Secondary 4 High Rope Course (HRC).
Ah, i remember vividly, the leap of faith and my regrets of not being able to try the flying fox there =/

Let alone that, most NPCC camps were held there too.
Thus, in short, i'm somewhat a veteran in Ubin. (Emphasis is on the 'somewhat')

I must say, this camp's activities is much lenient as compared to the other camps i have went.
In terms of the length (2 days, 1night. Nothing compared to OBS's 5 days 4 night) and activities (Again, nothing on par with OBS's continuous trekking and 1 full day of kayaking around the island, or NPCC's morning PT)
But having said so, the challenges given by the higher-ups (yes, the one on top), was what made the camp challenging.
You could say, i was toughen up by all these.
Which in turn makes me wonder, my looks doesn't describe the activities i have done before huh?
Don't judge a book by its cover~ ^_^

And perhaps i shall cover what has happened for the two days by the days.
It's more easier to relate to =)

So on day 1...
I woke up as early, as if going to school.
Panicked for a while, whether if i have forgotten to bring anything.
Then head out to school.

Reaching school, i looked at the number of people attending the camp.
Well, didn't expect it to be everybody. But it was all good.
Started with drawing out the equipments (I hate it, admin stuff =/ )
Passed our stuff and head to the jetty.

Took a boat there.
I missed taking the boat there. And honestly, i have already regretted not taking my camera there.
Even in the boat, i already know what to take, and saw what i wanna take.
Love the boat to be rocking back and forth by the waves. Missing them quite alot.
Though others are kind of panicking and jittery, i find that enjoyable.
The salt spray and all, the rythmn and all.
It's all nostalgic.

Reaching Ubin, we gathered at the court in front of the visitor/tourism office.
It's rather unsavory as it was mid-day and the sun is hanging right up in the sky.
Imagine the heat? Hahaha~
We were then given clues and started our land expedition, which ultimately would lead us to our campsite.
So our few hours long expedition starts there.
And throughout the whole expedition, i was hit with waves of nostalgia.
All the landmarks i used to past, i could remember, but there's an inkling of memory there.
And all the picturesque views, all the more made my regrets of not bringing a camera deeper =/

We reached the campsite, only to realise that it is the very campsite i used to camp at during the Secondary 3 camp. Vivid bad experiences.
It was like a deja vu, history repeating itself.
Why?
At about 4 am or a little later, there was a downpour, then a storm.
Tents went down, one by one.
Well, our tents stayed up right, but water seeps in.
Nothing was saved from the rain. All was wet =/

But how cool was that? Staying in a tent while in a heavy storm.
It feels quite nice actually, until the water seeps in from below =_=

Well, after that, we didn't sleep till dawn breaks.
So you could say it is like a wake-up alarm clock to the next day.

There was a friendly rafting competition between the three teams there.
And it made me feel so lucky to have prior knowledge on building a raft.
Hahaha~ Campcraft i have learnt during my NPCC days has done me proud ^_^
It was held in RP's very own quarry in Ubin.
And the water is so clear, i could see my own leg inside the water.
And well, the water taste like sodium bicarbonate-ed water (Okay, i sipped a little. They said it was ok.)
It think that was what which made me enjoyed the whole camp.
It was really really nice.
But i realised, i have phobia of swimming in water too.

We went back after that.
On the boat journey and bus journey back, everyone knocked out.
Slept so soundly.
It's of no wonder, right? Haha~

And coming to the part i hate the most.
Cleaning up while being shagged out, isn't one of the most enjoyable job to do.

Well, this wraps up most of the stuff.
You know, i am accustomed to camps, thanks to NPCC.
But i don't think that is the kind of lifestyle i would want to have.
I'm not a sporty kind of person. I have short stamina limits.
And though strong, my body is pretty weak compared to my peers.

I hate camps alot.
But i must admit, all the camps i have went are like bitter medicine.
Bitter to taste, but sweet to remember.

Let's start with ComiFest first

Hey people~
I think i'm gonna come up with a double post for today.
Why?
There's so many things happening for the past few days.
Hahaha~

Let talk about ComiFest first.
Since that's what happened first, ya?

It's on last weekend.
And i must say, like most events that i went recently, it has lost its magic.
Not just the event by itself, but rather, the whole idea.
I wonder if it is considered a good or bad thing?
I think the only thing which made me enjoy that was Jun Yao and Ah Xian's joking here and there.
As well as chatting and taking photos along with Mandy.

But having said that, there are some who still keeps me interested.
Cosplays which i find pretty good.

Like for example,
Luna's Misa is one of my all time favorite (Sorry for being naggy)
But i really like that. Pity it is the last time she is doing this.
She is afterall, busy with stuffs like work and jamming. Haha~

And i saw this too
Remember at EOY?
They are stuck in my head.
They are very cool. The kind of hairstyle which i want, the kind of get up which i want to do.
After NS, i might wanna grow out my hair, and get into this kind of get-up =)

There is also this lady called Poppy Chou.
She caught my interest while i was browsing an album by a pro-photographer.
She was doing modelling, not cosplay. And it was awesome.
I wasn't much keen on her cosplay actually, although it was very good. (It's just that i have kind of lost the interest in it)
Apparently, she does guy style as well, and looks pretty handsome.
Maybe she has the kind of perfect face which fits both gender very well?

In my opinion, out of the whole event, what interest me most was the wedding exhibition along it than the cosplay and manga itself.
The gowns are extremely pretty. And they definitely caught my eye.
But i bet they are pretty pricey too =/
I mean, look.
They look so gorgeous, it's of no wonder right?
I like the guy mannequin's get-up.
It looks so cool. If only i can wear like that as well....

And for now, i might have to give Pierre a bath. He stink like.... You get me. Haha~
Maybe after that, i will start a post about my 2 days in Pulau Ubin? =)
Later~

Outing with the sophomores

Guys, i know it's a late post and all.
But you know, it's better late then never right? =)

On Tuesday, went to Plaza Singapura with my Year 2 Sem 1 cliques.
We went to Swensen's for lunch.
Man....
For the first few times, i find eating western food fulfilling.
Yup, it filled my stomach pretty well.

I ordered baked rice with salmon.
Looks yummy right?
And since it's with the lunch set, there is a free side dish.
I got myself french fries, and that's what got me full.
Why? See for yourself.
Big right?
And fries goes well with Tartar sauce. (Well, all fried stuff does =D )

We went to the arcade after that.
And head to Starbucks after that. (Chanel's getting her Starbucks tumbler)
While waiting, i took photo... secretly.
It turned out good right? That's what i think.

I reformated my lappie to use Windows 7.
Mmmm. Having a hard time getting used to it.
But it does look nicer in some way.
Or it is an psychological effect?

Oh yes, and i have also signed up for NP's karaoke competition.
I wanna grab my chance to sing on stage.
And perhaps get noticed too.
I have not much time left, i'm afraid =/

I lika singa~
