.: Happy Gathering :.
Friday was definitely a day of meeting and catching up! The 'influencer' way. Met up wth Elizabeth, Yvonne and Gino to go out on this day supposedly to celebrate my birthday as well as Christmas. Though the mentioned have all passed and it's rather belated, who cares. haha. Having fun is the most important thing anyway wasn't it. The girls have already gotten their job and hearing them talk about some nasty and troublesome customers was real hilarious! Also, not to forget the talks on their eye-candy and encounters at work of course. Went to orchard and we walked and walked and walked and went to eat and caught 'Alvin and the Chipmunks'. Spent our whole afternoon there and later, towards Plaza Singapura where we went to the Daiso Shop. It was rather fun there as there was a row of spectacles which had no degree and Gino and I just had some fun trying the different weird spectacles and also the spectacles which denoted a 'real intellectual look' on, laughing at our bespectacled self. Later, headed on to Fish and Co. The Fish and Co. near PS is really a very romantic and nice place to eat. Very nice ambience and the music (though rather loud) contributed to the very romantic mood! Headed home on bus where I got 'injured'! Grea tday with these guys! Friends whom I've had since Secondary 1, staying by me and us, working together all the time! Though all of us are going to be walking in our different directions in life, there is still this memory that will stay stagnant in our minds :)
School is starting next week. Don't know why but I'm not really excited. New environment, new friends, new school, new everything... ALONE. But nothing can actually change this fact any longer... so, I think I'll just have to brace myself and be myself! :)

.: Busy Day! :.
Today was such a busy day and I am feeling
TOTALLY TIRED AND SLEEPY NOW!
Went back to band today and reached band at about 830am. Today, I taught my section a little and looked at some other sections play, did the Alumni thing with the teachers and played in band for awhile. Band nowadays feel a little foreign to me. My embrochure is out of place and I really hope to be able to have back my ambrochure when I enter JC because I'm really hoping to make it into the Band. I mean, wanting Band to continue being my CCA. However, I received a few Candy Canes and Cookies and Biscuits from some band members today! Thank you! MERRY CHRISTMAS! And, I reached home only at 745pm because I had to go and find Miss Tan to pass her the money and calculate the money! TIRED!
Next thing that contributed to my sense of fatigue is the collection of donation for my friend. Thank You ALL that came to school specially to donate money today and I am sure ZY will appreciate your kindness and generosity! So, THANK YOU! Was rather touched by a few facts today. Some schoolmates whom I saw today don't even recognise ZY but they willingly donated and it was also not a small sum. The value of money doesn't matter but it is the magnitude of your care and concern towards a fellow schoolmate that will really matter and would really be appreciated in the biggest sense! THANK YOU! Although the amount collected today didn't meet the target that Elizabeth and I tried to set, it is okay because ALL OF US, 'have done our best' :) Another thing is that now, I'm having many people knowing my phone number because it was spreaded in the messages! Anonymus calls are increaing rapidly now! But if anybody still wants to donate, just call me or drop me an sms ya!
THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!
Tomorrow going out with Elizabeth and Yvonne and Gino (Welcome back!) after like finally! haha!
It's going to be fun! :)
Sleep time! -.-

.: The Unpredictability of Life :.
There are two parts in this entry today, a happy one and a sad one.
First off, the happy one. Went out with Weining and Xiaowei yesterday to shop for Christmas presents for my friends and also, for them to get me my birthday present as they wanted to. Orchard on a Sunday is horrendously crowded, and really 人山人海. No doubt that after my first hour there walking, I wanted to immediately take the train and go to somewhere quieter and less crowded. Tourists and Singaporean alike were filling up the pathways and even though it rained for a while, it didn’t help make the traffic at the open areas better at all. Worse, the traffic within the malls got worse and there came to a point where there was a human jam. However, there is nobody to blame because its afterall, a Sunday and all families and friends will be out shopping, looking at the Christmas lightings in Orchard Road (which in my opinion is only ‘so-so’) and to just have fun! Orchard Road, is afterall, the buzz of this nation. I got my Christmas presents for my friends in the end and Weining and Xiaowei both got me a Nike Bag. That’s the unpredictable part of today. The bag was not cheap, not too expensive and was to be given as a Birthday-cum-Christmas present. At least I have a new school bag for the new school term! THANK YOU WEINING! THANK YOU XIAOWEI! To be close friends after so long and having to be distant from one another is really a blessing to treasure! I really want to thank you guys deeply!
Next, the sad story. I received a call this morning from my form teacher to hear only bad news. Life to me is so unpredictable. One day you see this, the next day you don’t. Nothing stays stagnant in life. One seemingly happy person may have so much misery and sorrow hidden behind that false smile. One seemingly sad person might just be putting on a façade for all to see. So, when can we actually know what’s true and what’s not. Somebody so healthy at times may just fall sick and be diagnosed with a medical problem the next moment. Miracles do happen but more often then not, the instruments of darkness will also strike on the unfortunate. The unpredictability of life can never be known to oneself. Probably that’s what we call fate?
Those who know about my classmate, please do help and just to reiterate whatever’s been told to you, I will be in school from 9am to 5pm this Thursday (27/12/07) to ‘receive your help’ so please do call me when your there and I will go outside school to find you! :) thank you!
Ending this post off in a happy note, here am I wishing all of you readers: a
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
HOHOHO!

.: My Saturday :.
OKAY! Stayed home the whole morning and afternoon. Cut my hair today.. no more slopes!When your home and you have NOTHING to watch on youtube, TV, you will start watching DVDs and eat potato chips and this is what I did. haha. Didn't play mahjong today at my cousin's place so i stayed home and i was so bored that I went to on the aircon in my parents room and started watching Harry Potter - The Order of the Phoenix and eating my chips. Then I left home to meet my friends!
Met up with some of my band mates today. Yesterday, went back to band and participated in the dialogue session, giving some views and tips and also being there for Secitonals and today, went out with people of my batch (some) and namely those whom were going to celebrate some of our birthdays. This outing has been so-called planned since long already. those who went today was EngPuay, Yanting, Xiaojun, Xiuhui and Yanru. And me (the only guy) because mr xiangyi is working and Gino is overseas. lol. BUt it was nevertheless fun and i had to turn up because they wanted to celebrate for the December babies - me, Xiaojun and Engpuay and Yanting. haha. Went to eat Fish and Co and had much fun there eating while talking about random things like shows and band and people whom we know. Haha. Then, we headed to Terminal 3 since almost all of us had not been there before. Took many pictures together and just made alot of noise and keptthe atmosphere high. Haha.. how funny it was that we can spend 4 hours plus at the airport having fun and catching up! Then, we all went home! It was definitely a great time catching up with these band members and close friends of mine! Since O levels, we;ve not seen one another and let alone, talked to one another! It is always great catching up with someone as I always say! Lets you know that you've not been forgotten and the friendship is still that strong with a tight bond :) that's i suppose the rewards we get from making friends - to look back and know that you can talk to them about random stuff!
And thank you EngPuay and Xiaojun for the presents :) Really appreciate them!

.: A million thanks and a huge hug! :.
Thank you EVERYONE who wished me 'Happy Birthday' on my birthday!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate all of your love and care! just a simple sms was able to make my day and my day was made by so many people! So am really grateful and happY! This year, my birthday wishes came in many different forms - Through sms, friendster, blogger tagboard, calls, online Cards, facebook, accompanying me today, and whatever not. Any in every different medium of wishing, I was made happy so once again, I am truely Thankful to all! It doesn't matter if I was being wished just past midnight or was wished at the end of the day.. The whole 24 hours of 20th December is my birthday and ya... Thank yoU! haha.. no one is late or whatsoever! :D
This year, did not celebrate with my friends on my brithday itself as like previous years but it was nevertheless, a memorable birthday. It is so as i celebrated it with my cousins and family members this year! My friends have been working hard today and some probably slacking hard but we are going to meet up another day anyway so I will still be so happy! haha. This year, went to cousin's house at Harbourfront there and watched Tv, chatted. Then, my cousins and I headed to Vivo with the intention to get Christmas Present but Vivo is so crowded today! the place to go when there is a public holiday - vivo. That's what on EVERYONES mind! Miny Toons was so packed that it was only one way traffic within the shop. Lazy us decided not to join the crowd and just walked around... walking back home with nothing. But it was fun seeing the prices of some things. Extravagance is not the word for us today becaus we are kind of broke too! Then headed back to my cousin's house and watched TV again. Did not play mahjong today because we were all so bored of it already. Playing every week... it's becoming a phobia. haha. Reaching ten, as we were about to go home, my mum took out my birthday cake and they sang for me my birthday song and we ate the cake. This is the first time i think i ever celebrated with my uncle and aunt and all, hence, was very memorable. Of course, i have more celebrations coming up with my friends that I am looking forward too! haha.
Elizabeth and Yvonne have gotten a job at Sportslink at Kallang. Working with Xiangyi now so I guess you three will have a common topic to gossip about next time! your colleages and bosses! haha. Easier for me to visit too... One time visit three. Also, can patronize the shop where three of my closest friend are working! Work hard! Though it might be tiring but the money at the end is what your working for! haha
And lastly, I would like to once again say THANK YOU to all those who remembered my birthday and had wished me Happy Birthday. I am so happy to have known you guys - Closest Friends, Classmates, Band mates, NCO friends, Eastern European Friends and even some whom are in my school but I never really got to talk to you... Thank You Guys! :)

.: A day at home :.
Stayed at home the whole day today. Doing what? Youtubing and reading my story book! Just realized i have 6 bookmarks. Don't know how come I've got so many either.. Weird.
haha. birthday is approaching in like a few hours time. This year, i guess my birthday will be a little more quiet. haha. Tomorrow is Hari Raya Haji and all the Moons and Starrs are I guess working because i heard they will have extra pay or something like that. Gino is abroad and Queen Yvonne and Princess Elizabeth dunno whether they have job or not. Parents will be home so I guess my birthday this year would be celebrated with them! haha. Not too bad either la I guess :) Heard mum is going to cook something nice for me tomorrow! Great :D
Went to my final concert (i suppose) for this year yesterday which was the First Toa Payoh and Pierce Symphonic Band Combined performance at SCH. Good job Qianying and Aloysius! haha. Was also glad that I could catch up with quite a few of my NCO friends and to see Qianying after a long time! Still as funny and becoming a little rough already ar you... haha. Enjoyed my time there! Oh ya.. hoped u guys liked the gift to you!

.: Birthdays and Concerts :.
Starting off my post today will be to wish these people a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY CLARISS!! (12th December)
Stay pretty, youthful and attractive! We've got to meet up soon! Real SOON!
HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY CARIN!! (16th December)
Kiss some butts with your soccer skills girl! Keep smiling with that wide grin of yours and enjoy your China TrIP!
HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY RACHEL!! (17th December)
Haha.. my Secretary even now as I have told you :) Stay happy and bubbly! Thanks for the invitation to your chalet! have indeed ate alot and sorry for not staying! Know you will enjoy yourself alot with many high people accompanying you! i had a great time there so THANKS :)
Now do i realize that there are really many people's birthday during December and near mine! No wonder Yanting wants a December babies outing thing! haha.
Hmmm.. Concerts attended were the Tampines Junior College Concert to support Weining (who called me to go so last minute!) and also the Junior College Band Festival Concert to support ChianHuey! GOOD JOB GUYS!! not easy to play those pieces that you guys have played and it must have been through much hardwork and effort before such results were possible i guess! you've definitely brought me music to the ears! The JC band Fest was definitely an eye opener to the JC bands in Singapore! Their standards and ability to master the instrument are defnitely a level higher than that of Secondary School bands. but of course, there are some Sec Sch bands which are on par with them i'm sure! (",) haha. seeing so many concerts have indeed made me want to be in the band right now and start playing all over again. Playing infront of an audience and feeling the sense of satisfaction which i have not felt since this year's SYF. Sudden urge to join a band and go back for band now! Tomorrow will be going to support my NCO friends in the First Toa Payoh Concert. All these concerts are really burning a hole in my pocket as my father says. haha
Nowadays when I am back home, I will always be youtubing and like chatting. Never touch ANY story books or exercise as I tell myself to. My aim hopefully will be to complete my 1000 puzzle set which has been left untouch for a very long time and to think i bought it 5 years ago! I MUST COMPLETE IT NOW! and also, I have to exercise and do skipping to grow taller because i am only a miserable 165! and, i have to read story books! buy and never read... that's my problem!
Elizabeth and Yvonne are going to have job hunt again tomorrow! Good Luck guys! hope to hear great news :D
BUT, its youtube time again!! byE!

.: Bad throat :.
Feeling rather sucky now because of a stupid cough I am down with. My throat is so itchy and irritating. No medicine have since been useful. Darn. And I'm also down with flu. Everything is coming to me all at once. Result of it all : the lethargic me.
Was informed about my posting result for the first three weeks (i think) for the Junior College we are posted to next year under the PAE thing. Am posted to Victoria Junior College. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. Something that I have hoped for for last year has come true but am abeit, no, i think is, VERY MUCH, apprehensive about it. Don't know why also. Just not comfortable into going into a new environment alone. ya.. new friends will come but it takes time too.This, undoubtedly added on to my rather lethargic mood. Am quite shocked with some of my friends in my class and of other schools. The system's a little weird I would say but whatever... we are all going to take the same A Levels Paper in the end.
*cough cough cough cough cough* time to rest...

.: 2e2 '05 Chalet :.Just came back from chalet. This chalet was abeit different than the previous ones we had because for the first time, we had a double-storey chalet apartment and this time, lesser than normal turned up. But one thing that remained constant was the fun and joy we have together I would say! Due to all the holidays, appointments and also jobs that many 2e2-nians took up during this period, they could not turn up! Could not blame them also actually because every one is so busy with finding work to do. Seeing so many people working makes me want to work also. Hearing the mundane things they have to do and the tedious work done, I can only tell them 'at least you've had this experience!' As for me, haha, I doubt I be working anyway :DWe played cards in which Yvonne won so much and can really be the Gambling Queen, mahjong (didn't know rental nowadays was so expensive!) and watched DVD (thanks to Elizabeth who brought the player. Would not know what we would do without the player!) haha. Chatted alot and caught up. Had a lot of fun though i kept losing in playing cards and mahjong overall. Sleeping was minimal for everybody I guess but i would consider myself to be one who has slept relatively more than the rest since I love sleeping and can sleep almost anywhere! :DWent to Escape on the second day! The weather these few days was just so depressing la! Rain, shine, rain, shine, rain, shine. This sequence occured for almost three times while we were at Escape. But the time there was fun! Did not go to a theme park with a class before so it was a good experience and outing! The rain was just so depressing that we were not able to take the racing thing and some rides had to be stopped in the midst of our queue! make us waste time!2e2'05 was a fun class and of course we would never forget one another because very much we are alwyas with one another! (",)Some pictures taken at Escape Theme Park! EnjoY!
Part of 2E2 '05 :)

.: Busy week :.
this week was a real busy one indeed! going out almost everyday ever since i came back!
went to watch the performance of Xinyi! her 'the Right Step' ballet performance! what can i say. thier footwork and movement are just almost perfect (at least to me) and the way they dance and strut their way across the stage as if they are floating was a nice sight! Of course, BRAVO Xinyi! never really see her dance except in school but this performance had definitely brought a whole new meaning of 'ballet' to me :)
Also, went out with Elizabeth, Yvonne and Gino before everything started. Walked in Marina Square and then watched 'Enchanted'! it is a great show i must say! One that I really liked watching even after it ended! the songs are so catchy and nice that we started humming and singing them slightly after the show ended. It has also been a long time since we 4 went out and it was indeed fun! The transport home after the ballet performance was disaster by the way. Who would have thought it would take us 2 hours to get home because of the bad transport or rather bad luck with Taxis at that part of the day.
Now, its time to upload the pictures of my Eastern Europe trip... but before that, take a look at the facts stated below :)
Some fun facts that i found out while I was there were
1) Never be surprised seeing girls which are 1-2 head taller then you over that because half of their female population are so.
2) Dogs are allowed to go shopping INTO the shops with their owners! so a dog might just come sniffing your toes when your trying a shoe out! haha
3) Most of their eyes are stunning blue and its nice to see so many people with such eyes/ especially when you do not get that in Asian countries or in Singapore for that matter! haha
4) Shops close at 5pm during winter (all should know this)
5) Even guys in good looking suits might be a pickpocket! BE CAREFUL!
Okay! Picture time! [ Took 900+ pictures but could only show some. And so sorry that some are collaged and resized! if you guys wanna see the actual picture I can send you guys. and also, the collages are in my friendster account (http://www.friendster.com/viewphotos.php) so do visit there if u wanna see a better picture!
