Karma

2009-04-06T21:25:00.002+08:00

What a week full of people getting sick..I finally got mine!

Anyways the topic Karma has been in talk of late between my friends and I. What is Karma? Karma is getting back what you are supposed to get. Or in simpler terms, do unto others what others will do unto you. Do good things and you get good things back, do bad and prepare for the worst. Well if you watched the show My name is Earl youd probably know what it is all about.

Well, some people have been complaining that life is unfair,unfortunately its true. People who are rich becomes richer while the poor becomes poorer...So why did God make such a place for the poor to suffer so much while the rich enjoy? Well think of it this way...happiness do not last forever. Those people who are rich are either because they work their asses of for it or because they get the money by some ill methods. But seriously those children whos parents are rich because of illegal methods...are sometimes too spoilt to realize. I wont blast on them but i just want people to know that life is not as easy as it is...

GO TO DMC!

2009-03-29T23:57:00.003+08:00

Watched 2 movies in a day again after soooooo longggg!!

First it was Confessions of a Shopaholic with my girl and for a chick flick,this is the first time a movie like that actually made sense!LOL!Talked about nepotism,financial stuff and moral issues that actually happen in life. It tells us how shopping can be so addictive and now i know why girls just cant stop going to malls and go shop...and spend all the boyfriends money!

But when you do have to shop...remember,"Do you really need it?"

The second movie is the ROCKING DETROIT METAL CITY!Hell YEA!I finally watched it with Jason and Kb in midnight and IT OWNED!Well it was worth the $ cause they managed to fit almost all the chapters in the comic into 1 movie!And if you wanna know what kinda songs they sing...try "SATSUGAI" such a classic :p!Just remember...not all nerds are losers :p And my bus ride back home costs 3.50 WTF!!

Sleepless nights in Singapore

2009-03-27T21:48:00.002+08:00

Waiting for my pending applications in review to finally get accepted, the nights has been lonely and long. I havent had the proper sleep these past few days and my grades have been ailing...unfortunately. Its sad to see myself in such a state but yet maybe im just looking at the mirror.

How sad it is to be sleepless...especially sleepless in Singapore

Same old

2009-02-26T21:09:00.002+08:00

Like any other semester when school starts,time somehow just passes really fast....My parents have come and met my girlfriend and gave their fullest approval although the bad comments are all aimed at me and not at her!Seems that im quite a shitty guy to begin with and no girls will wanna go out with a guy like me and this is according to the inference i made from my parents!LOL!Well at least theyre happy with Amelia cause what can i say...Im blessed to be with her :p. Had Dinner together at Sushi Tei that day and we were all amazed how many Indonesians actually go to Taka to eat cause 3 families who came and sat at the table next to us were Indons.

So applications are piling up although ive cut them down a few by SUBMITTING them!Only the schools forms are left to finally complete everything...gotta make the deadline...and if time goes as fast as this,SHIT!i might not even go to the US by this August!And whats making this process worse is that i have so many other essays to write that i go to the ERC practically everyday to sit down and see Tad continously mark my essay and telling me how i should improve when i thought ive made sense.

Anyways tomorrow is Marks' Chalet(cant wait for it!) and he's gonna leave for the sea soon...One by one everyone is going out and my time will definitely come soon...OH YEA Jason and I recorded some stuff and its up on youtube. So if you guys are interested search myfinaljudgement :p!Okies signing off!:p

Valentines Surprise

2009-02-17T20:28:00.002+08:00

What other way to celebrate your valentines day except with your loved ones. I had to say...my Valentines this year was a BLAST! I had so much fun with my girlfriend that i just wish everyday was valentines day LOL!

See...before vals day everything turned sour when i was scheduled to play a match on sat afternoon...which obviously dampened Amelia's mood...Fortunately or Unfortunately whichever view you can see it from, I was diagnosed to have a tendonitis in my left achilles which i have been carrying for the past half a year and neglecting it...and i actually have to go to physiotherapy for that which im going tomorrow!

But here's the main stuff to note for valentines day :p:
1)Bought Amelia a ring in a rose
2)Bought Amelia a huge pair of teddy bear with hearts saying "I love you so much"
3)Made my own valentines day card full of poems
4)Watched Curious case of benjamin button
5)Hugged throughout the movie
6)Had an Italian dinner
7)Sent her home and ate the cookies that she baked!

Haha simple,short and sweet...But then again..i do have to admit though..when Im with Amelia,its not only the 14th of Feb that is valentines day...but Everytime im with her IS Valentines Day :p!Okies signing off!

Barefooted Event

2009-02-08T00:32:00.003+08:00

Ever walked barefooted all the way from orchard mrt to forum and then back to orchard mrt?Well I DID!and the experience was great!But lemme tell you the reason why i did it in the first place...Well see i had this school barbeque thing in the morning and my old sandals that ive been constantly using for 3 years finally decided to break apart on me and when i went to change to my slippers which i bought for 3 weeks, some ass hole had to run past me and step on it and broke it! I WAS LIKE WTF! So there i was with a broken slipper at orchard road trying to figure out a way to freaking walk!

I did manage to get a slipper though like at 9.30 pm where practically all the other damn shops were closed. But amazingly are singaporean feet that SMALL?I asked for size 12 thanks to my huge feet but gues what...the biggest was only size 11. At least new urban males design covered up their extremely small sizes of slippers. But going through so much shit just to be able to go home with something to wear was worth the time. How many of you ever walked without anything at orchard?I doubt you have!

The event today wasnt too bad though, food was great, mostly chit chatting and a lot of frisbee destroying bottles of beer lol! Got to spend time with Amelia WOHOO!and met my old st pats pals at night. Simple gathering,fun and hillarious. Till next time...im like stuck with my assignment now so signing off!

Back from Batam

2009-02-01T13:43:00.002+08:00

Back from Batam,Back from Indo,Back from the dead....

After 15 hours of labor work at Batam im finally back!Batam Build for Habitat for Humanity was definitely an enriching experience. Not only did we get to get down and dirty but also feel the sense of community service and now I shouldnt be talking bad bout the bangla construction workers cause their jobs are tough!!Well our task was to dig a septic tank 1.5m deep so hell its tiring!We all woke up with backaches the next morning.

As you can see from the pics in facebook,the whole team had a lot of fun there.All the sweat and stink that we brought from the worksite to the hotel and getting our boots so muddy that the hotel staff were so pissed to have to clean it for us LOL!Other than working our butts off,we did have some relaxing time at the hotel resort :p.Walter and I got a reflexology and went for spa before we came back to Singapore..wonderful...

The sun was scorching hot!And all of us were like burned and if you see any of us we sure look like some sexy people who came back from a beach haha!So this is an advice for going to Batam,make sure you bring SUNSCREEN OR SUNBLOCK cause they seriously do you good.Still exhausted now so i cant think of anything to write so signing off!:p

LOOOOONG holiday

2009-01-17T10:59:00.003+08:00

I once again apologize for my long absence from blogging...the connection im using is really killing me!Its at least 10 times slower than the normal speed i use in singapore so imagine how annoyed i am now. Since my holiday this time round is pretty long,there were some stuff that i did. I mean noting that what an 18 year old teenage boy do:

Watch M18 movies (check)
Smoke(uncheck)
Drink(uncheck)
Go to bars(uncheck)
Learn how to drive(check)
Study for SAT 2(check)
Do college applications(half check)

So..ive practically half done what 18 year olds usually do except that ive tried those stuff which ive unchecked but only TRIED!Chinese New year is coming soon and im thankful that school starts later this time round cause i can stay here and collect my much deserved $$ for being young and not married :p. Another point bout school is the Student Government..i dont know why they decided to change to the voting system so i bet its gonna be chaotic and people will be chosen due to their popularity vote. Im not complaining from being stripped off my presidency after 3 semester of service,its just that i find it a bit odd. But we'll see what the school does and the student do as well, as usual im setting myself up for another challenge so lets see if im popular in school or not HAHA!Meanwhile i shall enjoy my time doing all those things that ive checked...its pretty boring when the hols are too long...Oh yea almost forgot,congrats to those who did well for O levels cause i know a few cousins who did quite well if you read this you should thank me for including you!LOL!signing off :p

Apps!

2008-12-23T11:00:00.002+08:00

In a time where students are having their well deserved break for Christmas and the New Year, there is a boy who wishes he gets the same...instead he is stuck with a hell load of applications to do!Damn I never knew that commonapp would be so long!!Plus theres still the supplementary forms from school lol, this is going to kill me soon enough.

Finally visited a chinese doctor yesterday to see my somewhat broken leg that has been swollen for 6 months but no one actually bloody noticed it. Got like 10 needles stuck to me yesterday and and i almost screamed when he "massaged" my leg. Thankfully the bed sheets were long enough and i dont think they noticed that i was so in pain that i tore it...silently :p!

Oh well,back to the time when this little boy has to do his application again...2 more days till christmas so an advanced Merry Christmas to you all folks!

Missing

2008-12-18T14:05:00.002+08:00

I pardon all my avid readers who tend to visit this site quite often to see my long and boring posts for not having written anything for so long.Anyways all i can say is Ive been lucky for the past week. With graduation dinner and stuff, voted prom King along with my dearest Amelia who obviously won the prom queen :p and i actually got a Nintendo DS for the lucky draw. Yea for those of you who werent there but wanna see the pic of us kissing its up on facebook courtesy of George Gan...i am so going to kill you!

Well the weather has been great in the holidays, downpour followed by immense sunlight,i wouldnt be surprised if people actually get skin cancer during the holidays. And another case that people get during the holidays is melting their brains in a pot of boiling soup. In other words or simpler terms, people tend to become dumber in the holidays. I do agree to the fact though...2 months doing nothing and dont have a single book in front of you?Hah youre bound to get dumb someday.

Gah anyways i'll try to think of something to write..my hand me down laptop is really pissing me off!!So damn slow!!Miss my upgraded comp in Singapore and of course my girlfriend :p!So i shall be signing off now

Revolution!

2008-12-04T22:49:00.003+08:00

Sometimes all you need is a revolt in the world to shake things up...no im not talking about when your fat mama jumps and the earth shakes but real life stories thats been going in around the world.

Killings, terrorists attacks and constant chaos has been the big news that has been shocking the world so far. First is the fact that Thai demonstrators are blocking the airport so that planes cant fly off...but if you look at the bigger picture...if you wanna have the minister step down,why not just revolt outside his office. Why make so many people stuck in the airport and still helping the government make money by making the tourists spend.

Look at the economic point of view, tourist spending in the airport increases, thus overall income still increases = government happy cause theyre earning more $$. So if demonstrators wanna demonstrate, please dont annoy so many people in Thailand by revolting in the streets and airport, but just do it at the parliament office or something. I mean at least the message is still heard and no one is harmed.

Another issue is the pakistan terror in Mumbai...The Taj hotel bombarded with terrorists and more than 180 people died cause of that. Seriously what is this world coming to? People who are in the hotel are tourists who have no single grudge against Pakistan and yet you terrorists kill them?I mean..are you stupid or dumb?Ok fine, you managed to kill a couple of Indians here and there but whats your point when you kill more than 80% who are not Indians...is like your waging war against the world!

Condolences to those who have died in the hands of these merciless bastard,been seeing a lot of Low Hwei Yen in the newspapers and this inspired me to seriously condemn these unforgivable acts of killing. May you terrorists burn in hell.

The world is really in a mess...people killing each other...economic downturn and recession..maybe somehow we do need a revolution to occur in this decade. I hope you can do it Mr Obama, the world is counting on you and your team now. Well signing off :p

A sense of belonging

2008-11-27T22:03:00.002+08:00

Sometimes i wonder...
Do we ever think of where we come from?
And be proud of where we are?

A place in our little mind
a shelter in our big ego
a sense of belonging
and where we should really be

Should we really remember where we are born
and go through the lifestyle and tradition
of a place that we dully remember

I think that I
will rather travel around the world
with no single attachment
of the sense of belonging
that makes me want to be home

vid blog

2008-11-23T01:25:00.004+08:00

Heres a video blog that i tried,its an old one so i should make a newer one soon :p..PLUS i hope its not too boring or anything...Cause im planning to mix typing and videos in my blog ,cheers!

Mid Term break!

2008-11-02T21:49:00.002+08:00

Well well..so many things can happen in such a short week. Its the holidays,well more like its over since i start school tomorrow but lemme recap my fruitful week!

Met Jess and Jon for lunch at the coffee club after like half a year without meeting them. Theyre my old pals from indo if you were wondering. Talked quite a bit and how 10 years just gone by so quickly..then we had the crisis and we all split and now we al meet up and talk about college. Time sure flies past when your having fun and or intense situations like school! Anyways after that met Cheryl and Wei Jin. Yes..CHERYL! She came back for her hols from Penang and although we could only meet up for a very short while at least we still had fun. Its always good to be able to see your friends old and new and Monday was certainly that day this week.

Tuesday was shopping day for halloween. The SGA and I went to this shop where they specialize in decos and stuff and it was freaking awesome! They had practically everything we need and the best part of it was...ITS CHEAP!So we sorta marauded the shop and bought our costumes as well and we were still under budget :p.

Wednesday was the first chalet day for us SGA and the place- ALOHA Changi really sucked...never gonna book a chalet there ever again LOL!Had din at Tampines Mall @ Fish and Co.and the cheesecake we had was so filling that i became bloated. Amelia came back on that night and we talked on the phone till the others fell asleep...

Thursday- Chalet day, busy,tiring,hot, mosquitos were killing me!But overall, the food was great the people were cool and Amelia gave me a surprise visit.. And i definitely have to remember this date 30/10!

Friday was halloween, got back from the chalet, and rushed back to school to settle all the stuff. Disappointing in some sense cause not many people turned up and the food we ordered too much...SO no choice da pao :p

Saturday all Saints day...went out on a date and well we had good time :p. Met Jason and KB after mass where the usual dinner and slack time and we seriously talked about some nonsensical stuff that i find quite revolutionizing!

Nothing special today...rain rain rain...oh well schools starting again tomorrow. What a week it has been :p, signing off :p!

~Mike

Farting girls

2008-10-26T23:59:00.002+08:00

Have you ever wondered if girls really dont mind farting out loud?Or will they just ruin your perfect image of the innocent and lovely girl...until they FART!Hahah well this dawned unto me when i hanged with Jason,KB and Joe just now.

Seriously,hanging out with your old pals can be really nice.Once in a while those lame jokes from the past comes back and laughing out loud together can be quite fun. I miss those good old days where we would play pranks on teachers and the class would really just work together and burst out laughin together. One for all and all for one...play the prank together and get punished together. Time only makes us further apart...look at all of us now busy with our own lives in tertiary education. New friendships are made and some old ones forgotten. But i still have to admit that secondary school life was the best 4 years of my life thus far. When else can we do such juvenile stuff and the only worry we get is when the teachers threaten us to call our parents and report on our mischiefs.

Sometimes I just wish that time would stop so we can enjoy what we do. But...unfortunately time will have to move, or we would be stuck in a life full of nonsensical thoughts. At least some of us has become more mature over the months and people do change when the element of time gives them the chance to. Physical wise people just grow upwards or sidewards. Thankfully, no one has changed their attitude or they;ll definitely get their asses kicked!We move on in life, but the most important thing is not to forget your past...EVER! So when you forget about those friends you ever had before...think about farting girls!Signing off :p

Mundane

2008-10-20T21:35:00.004+08:00

Hmm it occured to me one day that my lack of blogging is due to the fear that i have such a mundane life that people will think that im such a boring person.Well naturally, people tend to be boring cause they have such a routinious life. What makes people more exciting then? Is it because they have this talent to create fun out of nothing? Or are they just too hyperactive that it makes their lives more..how should i say this...energized!LOL!

Anyways life for me has been a smooth sailing. Its been in cruise control whenever it comes to slacking..Yes..Slacking! Temptations to just throw away your book and sit in front of your comp to do whatever you do while youre online is damn tempting. School has been that and life has been this. Nothing is ever changing...I went back to St Pats last Sat for LLTC B and Lasallian Prayer Conference(which i missed cause SOMEONE had to ask me to stay and take care of supper...) I met a couple of old guys,most suprisingly Ben Loncle. He changed from being a white ghostly fate guy to someone who is tanned and buff...what a difference half a year can make and joining canoeing can make someone so fit. Maybe i should take up the offer to join the dragon boating club in school..nahh

If life is so fun, why am i so boring? Is it because i dont know how to enjoy the life that is out there...Oh well i shall go and think about it!

~Mike

When is good enough?

2008-10-13T21:25:00.002+08:00

When is it good enough to someone or to ourselves?This has been the question that bewildered me for the past week but i am still trying to find an answer..If anyone has any comment,dont hesistate to tag :p!

Anyway the week has been sizzling i must say.Chapters after chapters to read, the parties that doesnt stop ending and of course the active lifestyle called exercising!Tests and assignments can only pile up and the bombardment was like when Germany used their panzers to attack France...its chaotic!Now studies aside, the hanging out session is never short of great :p.Hangin with old friends is always the best and that was what happened last Sat. Had the Lasalle Friends opening with Pao,Mark,Tarci,Jason,Matt,Mark koh,Dom and Calvin(the only SJI guy with us). Simple stuff that brings us back together to chill out and organize events for the other lasallians, like the upcoming one happening this upcoming Sat-LLTC B @ St Pats.

Since the exercise part is rather long i shall put it in another paragraph HAH!Played badminton with school friends since i dont know how long ago and i have to emphasize..STRETCHING IS IMPORTANT! I played till my ass hurt and i still dont know why that part of my body aches. Other than that, strained my hamstring and quadriceps..so please whatever you do,warm up before you go straight for the kill! Same goes for football...i made the damn mistake 2x in 1 week. Went to the cage and started kicking the ball before doing some stretching and look where that got me...a sprained ankle again!Damn it, how unlucky can i get when i play soccer...seem to get injured every single time!Oh well i better not tell my parents so i can continue playing, my insurance agent is killing me by not returning my premiums!Screw them!!I apologize for not blogging regularly but hey!Im a busy chap :p,back to doing whatever im doing, signing off :p!

Blondes

2008-10-07T23:18:00.002+08:00

Behind every blonde there will always be a side of her where it is sensitive and somewhat smart. Meet house bunny!Just watched the movie and its amazing that for every blonde movie they make, they always tend to make the person rather smart. Or...ok maybe not if you have watched the movie.

See, sometimes people tend to get the wrong idea of blondes. Look at Paris Hilton- Pretty in pink, super dumb in some sense, cant act, lip syncs but shes a millionaire with her own brand of products. Compare her to us...we're screwed even though we're smart!LOL!But besides the point that blondes are usually labelled as dumb and bimbotic, we dark haired people will have to look deeper and not just judge a book by its cover. And as bimbo as they are, some blondes are really nice people! So if you meet a blonde in the road trying to adjust her fake boob and put some make up while driving causing serious traffic accidents, dont forget that theyre human too..i have no idea whether to say fortunately or unfortunately but heck!Thats for you to decide :p,signing off!:p

Predict the unpredictable

2008-09-30T21:51:00.003+08:00

Hari Raya Holidays are here,guests are coming from all over the world for the F1 race. The good and the bad always come at unpredicatble times.I still cant believe Massa lost and Alonso won the first ever night race in Singapore. Good performance though by the latter, had like 5 sec differential at the end!My gosh,mixed reviews in the press about the trophy but i wont get too detailed about it.

Well start off from Sat-Took bro and his girlfriend out for tour of Singapore,due to time constraints and the traffic caused by the F1 we didnt see much. Botanic gardens in the morning and sentosa for the rest of the time!!Thank God the weather was good or i would have really gotten drenched in a place with little shelter.

Sunday was no different than the fun i had on Saturday. Took them out again for Katong Laksa at Queensway(the original one was better!) and bought some gears for football :p,haha played with bro and i have to admit constant training=constant improvement. Had Chilli crab and pepper crab and i think i ate around 1.5kg of it!Damn..im fat lol!

School on the other hand has been rather unpredictable as well..tests and assignments pop up out of nowhere!!ARGHH!!It just gets from bad to worse,and so does my flu,cant get rid of this thing for weeks...And so i now have to go back to study my law text for the upcoming test this thursday *sigh*...signing off :p!

~Mike
Happy Hari Raya Puasa!

Alls well that ends well

2008-09-18T21:41:00.002+08:00

Heard the quote "Alls well that ends well?"

Well one part of my test trilogy has this conclusion. I shall try to be humble by not telling how much i got but all i can say that it broke class,school and teachers record LOL!College can be rather unexpecting,no test for a few weeks. and then a whole bombardment of them when the time comes.

Other news that have great impact...WALL STREET CRASH!Many say that the world is going to suffer another economic struggle much worse than the 1997 economy crisis in Asia. Well,the AIG is already having so much trouble getting premium refunds for their customers and so many other investment companies and banks are going trhough so much trouble that maybe, just maybe we should prepare for the worst. But as the above quote says it,will it be well when it ends? The presidential campaign in the US definitely has an impact on this case and lets just hope whichever president thats gets the post will be able to get us out!Obama might have the upper advantage with the economy as like other democrats do but the monetary problems all start from the US anyways so they better get us out!

The paralympics held in China,another case which has an alls well that ends well. Singapore achieving their dreams of getting medals is certainly an accomplishment, whats better, its those who are disabled who have done it,all credit to them.

Anyways if i continue listing all the good news i might take forever before i stop!So back to studying!Haha signing off :p

9/11 dedication

2008-09-11T21:51:00.000+08:00

In rememberence...

To innocence
and those who feared
Their lives undone
within a second
a second of freedom
a second of trust
a second of faith
a second of peace
a second that ended lives
a second to make the world realize
hell hath no fury

Terror can
never
be undone in this world
but innocence
will be justified if we only
believe...

For the innocent who have died in the 9/11 terror, may you rest in peace

I think that "Singing in the rain" is a good song to remember and how useful it is for all of us.I mean Sunny Singapore has been raining for the past 2 days and to think that singing in a pool of wet droplets pouring down on you could be so stress relieving!Anyways watched Wall E with Sur on Friday and i have to say that such a simple thing like a clean up robot can lead to so many compicated yet touching story.How Wall E can fall in love with Eve,and the process of it is a masterpiece!Now i know why i think that cartoons are so much more meaningful and better than those meaningless an lame horror movies which we all know are not real and we guys try to take advantage of cause the girls will jump to us during the scary part,unless you are scared of it yourself.Anyways, since i dont have much to write, i shall note down the dialogues of the practical joke that Jason and I carried out last night at Shaw Center's Macs.

Jason:Eh you want fries or not?

Michael:Can la,get the one without salt

Jason:What the hell,where got such thing no kick

Michael:High demand man,the 2 people before you just ordered without salt!

Jason:Aiya you order la

Cashier:Hi what would you like to order

Michael:Hi, can i have one large fries with half of it with salt and the other half without?

Jason:LOL!(He was really laughing his ass off)

Cashier:Uhh i dont think we have that sir

Michael:You dont?I thought the other 2 people just ordered,cannot just split em is it?

Cashier:Uhhh

Michael:Ok fine,i'll just have the large fries with salt please thanks :)

Double Cheeseburger-$2

Large Fries-$2.65

Expression on the cashiers face-PRICELESS!

Anyways thanks a lot (Find me) for leaving a tag behind,i shall try to put more images and such to enhance my blog ^^,signing off :p

wind

2008-09-04T23:17:00.000+08:00

Wind

Just a passing wind
Yet it blew me away
To places i dream
And the life i seek

Whispers...

Words undescribable
Soothing to others
But me
I know not what it means

Laughters...

Funny?
I dont think so
Why do others laugh
Do they do so
At me?

Shouts...

Violence,it seems
Cannot be controlled
Even at paradise
Shangrila or even the eternal garden

Screams...

Of fear
Nothing can be done
Evil still prevails
Deep within us

What can the wind do?
Will it just blow away
Our sins and bring
Us to our eternal peace...

First week of school

2008-08-30T12:30:00.001+08:00

Hectic and Dilemma!

These are the 2 words i can say for the first week of school.Once again the school semester has begun and class schedules are complicating and messed up as usual.A whole load of new students at school mostly from Indo!Why i chose those 2 words to describe the week?Well lets see-Hectic: The classes seem to be right after one another especially on monday and thursday!Unlike summer which i can say was super damn slack,fall tends to be more..realistic of college life hah!Other than that, i have been re-nominated and re-elected as President of the Student Government for the 2nd time running. So imagine the surprise when i go to school and all the staff was like "Hey the president is back" and"President!How could you not attend the orientation" Uhh for the orientation i was still back at Indo so i had a good excuse for that :p

Now to the next word: Dilemma, i currently take 8 subjects and well if you are in college and take that much,youre crazy!Here;s the thing though, i take 8 subjects which i chose to fulfill my Gen Eds. At first, Chemistry was just a stupid choice but a miracle happened.I had a 95% chance of dropping the class and lab and 5% of changing my mind if something happens.The 5% won!The prof was so interesting that this is the first time that i gained interest in the subject called Chemistry. So for people who think that numbers prove to be the best way to find an asnwer-THINK AGAIN!

At least the week,other than continous reading and piling assignments had a bright end to it. My bro came to Singapore and spent some spare time with him(Dont blame me,i had classes from morning till night for 2 days!) and had a barbeque party at Kann's place for his birthday.Met up with a couple of old friends and i totally forgot that yesterday was the teachers day celebration.Imagine how dumbfonuded i was when i reached st pats and they were like celebrating..i went there only for my testimonial hah!Well another day to spend with the anniversary dinner coming up tonight.Pardon my messy paragraphing and grammar..im writing whatever comes to my head now!Signing off :p

SQUEAKY CLEAN :P

Back from the land of freedom

2008-08-15T15:40:00.003+08:00

Back from the US and damn!i have to say its a whole different world up there..people are nicer somehow.Seems i had the wrong perspective of Americans all along.Well here is a super short summary(cause if i drag on i bet you guys will sleep) of my summer trip :p

Day 1:6/8/08
Flight at 9pm indo time and reaching singapore at 10+ where i surprisingly gave some peeps a call.To those people i did not give to,my bad i had a constraint transit time.Flight to Frankfurt was at midnight.

Day 2:6/8/8(USA)-7/8/8 : 7/8/8-8/8/8(SEA)
Reached Frankfurt like 6 am in the morning where nothing is open and i had another 1 hour of transit.The flight was a pain,12 hours but THANK GOD!there was no one sitting next to me,my brilliant tactic of booking 1 seat in the window and another in the aisle proved too good haha.Sat with my bro the whole way through. Another 10 hours till i reached JFK where my dad's luggage went missing. Yeap he only got it back like 3 days later. Arrived there in the morning again,had my cousin pick us up and we drove to new jersey.Since we had nothing much to do for the day we went to shop for my dad cause he aint got nothing to wear for the week!HAHA!

Day 3:8/8/8(Im just gonna use the USA date to not confuse you and myself)
The day of the olympics and the bloody american channels dont show it live. Went shopping again in the morning in the same mall.Mom cant seem to stop spending!I finally met my oldest sis after 4 years.Had lunch before heading for the wedding.I should say that it was the simplest Catholic wedding ever and i dont mind having mine like that haha.The dinner party on the other hand...WOW!Everyone so did not know that there was a cocktail party before hand,so people just eat and eat and realize their mistake!HAHAHA shouldve seen the shock on my parents face and they said"WHAT?!this is only a cocktail party!?"Shouldve taken a pic of them,it was priceless.The dinner on the other hand,only consisted of 5 dishes-soup,salad,main course,desert and wedding cake.But trust me,its filling to just have them. The place had a dance floor too and its surprising that so many people can actually dance!My sis got the best dancer award but hmm i wouldve won it if i participated hehe. There was the best kisser award and etc. really steamy but oh well. Oh yea in case you were wondering, my cousin married a Ukrainian,cool guy.

Day 4: 9/8/8
Went for NYC city tour at Manhattan.Visited broadway : a really busy place,tourists hassling all around. Madamme Thussaudes: The place where the tour tix are sold and gosh the queue was long. Madisson Square: the place where the NY teams play ball. WTC: yeap its an empty piece of land. Empire state building: No wonder king kong chose that building, its tall! Statue of Liberty: Freaking hell, the queue was like 2 hours long, the ferry ride another 20 mins and we only spent half and hour there cause of time constraint... Wall street: a small place where the worlds economy depends on. And lots more places i forgot to mention but i do have pictures which i will load up on facebook. Tried the hotdogs, pretzels, churos and kebabs, and DAMN!THEYRE GOOD!Now i believe Cheryl when she said that churos are nice haha!

Day 5 :10/8/8
Sent my oldest sis to the airport before going back to manhattan. Visited NYU,one of the universities which are surrounded by shops but too bad we went on sunday,the place was so dead quiet. Went to Macy's:the biggest departmental store in the east to shop again. Before going to Victoria's secret. As embarassing as it can get, my dad couldnt stop touching the lingeries. And dont think that he's a pervert cause he's not,but the only reason why he did so: our company makes the materials. My brother and I was like NOOOO, and dad forced us to check it out...not like we dont want to or anything but come on, a store filled with women and see guys touching and checking out lingeries?Isnt that awkward. Went to the airport after that where the freaking flight got delayed big time.
Expected departure:5.25 pm
Actual:6.45(on the board), 8.45(departed)
Expected arrival:7pm
Actual:10.30pm
Anastacia,my second sis's college roommate picked us up and it sure is good to see her again.

Day 6: 11/8/8
College Roadtrip! Checked out with my prospective university and colleges. First stop was Bentley College,the counsellor was the friendliest and hottest one i have ever met.Gave me full details on everything i asked. Babson college was the next stop. The land area they had was huge to accomodate 2000 students. Their program is a bit confusing cause they arent a liberal arts college so the gen ed requirements are all different but hey its my 2nd choice on the list. Next stop was Boston College. Top on the list but the lowest chance to get in. Unlike the other 2 school i visited before, the admission office in BC was PACKED!all Freshmans though haha,i love transferring as a sophomore student but be the same or younger than them in age :p. Well the counsellor was amazingly really direct. Unlike the other 2 which has 35% average admission rate, BC only has 11%.And quoted from her" if you wanna get into the business school here its even worse, out of the 500 applicants we have, we can only accept 5." HOLY DANG 5!! My jaw dropped, and if i dont have joints and the bones, my jaw wouldve probably dropped to the floor. Use a calculator if your maths is as bad as mine and put 5 divided by 500 and that equals to 1%!Hell, at least i bought some souvenirs from there hah! Had a super late lunch in an italian resto and gosh, it tastes umm cheesy? Since Anastacia had to go off early, and my mom nagging of the need to shop,my brother and i toured boston ourselves. Took the subway to Harvard and MIT though we did not go to the admissions office and we couldnt buy and T shirts cause they were closed!!

Day 7: 12/8/8-13/8/8(USA) : 13/8/8-14/8/8(SEA)
Had time to visit Boston University in the morning and damn their admission office was packed too!Seriously the counsellor there was hilarious though.."competition between applicants here are tough with an average GPA of 3.6" "So whats the admission rate like?" "oh around 40-45%" LOL! yea thats like practically half of the applicants. After that short stint, rushed to the airport for our flight back home. Thank goodness this time the plane didnt get delayed or we would probably miss all of our subsequent flights!Another hour back to JFK and 4 hours transit and another 10 hours to frankfurt. Somehow seats in Singapore Airlines are getting smaller or something cause my knees keep on getting hurt there. Manage to see the change in the sky from,half dark and half bright. Its like passing through a time travelling thing and i have to say the horizon between is beautiful. Manage to see it twice cause when i arrived in Singapore is was morning again. Rushed through terminals and finally arrived back here in Indonesia.

Had a good night sleep yesterday night to avoid jet lag and i sure slept well :p!Im going to be back next week!WOHOO cant wait till school starts again.

2008-07-29T11:50:00.003+08:00

Friday was really awesome, the buffet rocked!People turned up and were fully satisfied with the food. The group of us came early and left the last,as usual.Went for karaoke after that where we sang all our guts out!SUPER FUN!Really hectic day for me...after karaoke,went home had dinner and then went out with Jason to night fest at SMU. So that means i was out from 10 am all the way to 12 pm.Not bad right?Some good exercise walking from place to place.Anyways i had to like fly back the next day,all i needed was some sleep.

Back at the place where it all began,home.And what can be worse than being back in Indonesia? Having nothing to do at home other than becoming a lazy fat potato couch with an unlimited supply of snacks and of course the occasional being snacked by the mosquitoes flying all around. Whats worse, i think im going to be such a fat ball that i cant even roll,possibility that i will burst!Anyways, to stray away from my unending nightmare staying here, there are some stuff that was fun.

The moment i landed in this sacred land, my brother immediately took me to EX to play pool where i met some of my old friends from indo, syl and jessie, havent seen them for a while and vice versa but they said i look different...how different can i look?Hmmm then met Ezra at the same place too!So indo peeps,if you really wanna meet your friends out of the blue,just go to EX Q billiard.That was saturday, on sunday morning had the usual dim sum with the family at our family resto--golden jade kitchen(im getting sick of it already) where we had a table full of dim sum.So if youre wondering an alternative method on why im growing fat,there ya go!Dad had to fly off to Taiwan though,meeting Mr Ma Ying Jiu,the president of Taiwan with some other industrialists people,no idea why but at least my dad can meet him which is cool!After dim sum,went to ITC to get all the pirated stuff i need to last me for the week,so i bought:

1)Eurotrip
2)Made of Honour
3)Love Guru
4)Penelope
5)Never back down
6)Drillbit taylor
7)Maradona
8)Three kingdoms
9)Harold and Kumar:Guantanamo
10)Prince of Tennis

Yes, the movies i bought are old cause the new ones arent as good yet,but hey theyre cheap after all and the quality is good!So who cares, i still can buy the new ones,after all i have another 3 weeks to spend my time here before starting on the new sem. Gotta make full use of my time you know..other than reading books that is.If you guys are into economics and bored,get freakonomics, its a good book.Well have nothing much to say actually,just bored out of my wits thats why im writing in the first place.So signing off :p!

"Happy Birthday Mark Koh!"

Summer ends!!

2008-07-24T23:30:00.000+08:00

Hoorah!Summer semester is finally over!!After 2 months of cold hard sweat of intense studying and slogging our butts off in the student government,the semester is coming to a close. And it wont be done without a BANG!with the end of semester lunch at ShangRila Line resto-buffet buffet buffet!I just cant seem to get thinner if i keep eating,but what the hell,its SHANGRILA and whats more,its FREE!!But as high notes keep on flying high,low notes also come by.Got my Money and Banking result and well i can say that it wasnt the grade i expected but i guess its good enough. Its not the grade that matters but the knowledge that i received.Public speaking wasnt too bad, i received a lot of good comments bout my final speech which i hope will help me push up my grade as well!!For Eng comp...needless to say the dean is a prick in the ass,not putting it in a gay way.Funny thing happened yesterday though, we had our celebratory dinner for the end of semester at fish & co. and the waitress either lost our 50 bucks or it seriously just disappeared in mid air. Caused us like 20 mins of our precious time,luckily we didnt have to pay an extra 10 each..pity the waitress...a new girl on the job and probably fired on her first day.

Well anyways i got an inspiration to critisize something from Peggy and its concerning indecencies going on inside cinemas.The case is people grope and well,F around in the dark without caring what other customers are thinking. Well let me say that people who do that, are so cheapo that they cant act more mature,unless of course their adolescent teens or something where they cant find any other place than the cinema or under the staircase. For adults who have 4 figure salary and cant wait to get laid,for goodness sake man bring your partner to a much better place than a freaking cinema. Like what happened in orchard road like last sat when i went out with Jason, bloody hooker was trying to haggle with an old fag in the middle of the road. One old wrinkling man and probably need tongkat ali and LOADS of blue pills, while the lady young and white, not so pretty thankfully and desperate for an expensive banana.

There is a reason why there are budget hotels around.They dont only accomodate back packers but for indecent acts as well. I mean, how many backpackers visit singapore anyways?Unless youre super damn budget and cant afford to stay in other 3 star hotels which doesnt cost much of a difference, youd probably choose to stay in some place called Hotel 81. Dont mistake me though,hotel 81 is really established now,got a new outlook and stuff(never been there before but ive seen pictures and commercials)! But please, if you really wanna get embarassed in front of 50 other people in the cinema or getting ripped off by a prostitute, it doesnt pay to pay another 100-200 to get a much more private area to do your business.

Well im going back the day after tomorrow, so that gives me some more time on what else to write about!Plus the factory's gig is tomorrow night,10 pm at SMU.People whom i emailed about the st pats anniversary dinner on the 30 of AUG please reply to me!And hmm someones birthday is coming soon,in exactly 1 week :p,so till then for more surprises,signing out! :p

~Mike

I shall leave you with the pics bout what im talking about!

Wisdom?Who needs it

2008-07-16T22:11:00.004+08:00

Controversial issues are on the rise every single day here in Singapore.Reverend Monk being charged 10 times for allegedly lying and corrption. Selling of kidneys becoming controversial news all over,minister saying that the reason why Singapore banns it is because people will be reluctant to donate their kidneys cause money is an issue.I have to agree with the government for one though i hate them for increasing the price of public transport. See the bad thing of not having concession is to have to pay adult fare and if i have to travel to and fro like loads of times a day...ITS RIPPING ME OFF! I used to top up like 20 bucks in 3 weeks in secondary,now i have to add the same amount every week!

Another thing i just noticed and I know some of you will say im slow is that dentists sure can earn a lot of money.I just had surgery on my lower left wisdom tooth and it was freakinglishly awesome haha.I know i might sound like some blood thirsty psycho freak who like getting his teeth drilled out,im not!I even opted for no teeth being removed when i put on my bracers. But, the operation took less than 15 mins and all i could hear was like NGGGEEEEE ZENG ZENG GRAK GRAK, when my tooth is being plucked out, and THANK GOD for anasthetics. Didnt feel a single thing when my teeth was being mutilated. The dentist took less than 15 mins and he earned like 1000 bucks from me.So if we use economics of scale...15 mins for 1000/=, so that makes 6 hours of working=24000/+-... come to think of it, they can make more than what the government is earning!No wonder people wanna go to medical school and waste their youth in school.The return investment however, is as you can see, very worthwhile.So think about it...why waste life in becoming a doctor?Well think again!Signing off :p!

P.S the reason why i had to take out my wisdom teeth is because is growing sideways like illustrated below.

Singaporeans want to be New York or Japan

2008-07-09T21:30:00.000+08:00

Well im writing this post cause i just feel like vetting my anger out on singaporeans who are extremely inconsiderate!And plus Devina has a point that ive been posting only stories or poems cause i got no inspiration to write HAH!

Anyway, In my opinion, Singapore is trying to be like New york or Tokyo where commuters walk super damn fast on the road during peak periods. I mean whats the rush yo? Everytime i end class during the peak period, i have to take the PACKED Mrt or bus home. And every single time i go to the station, there will always be people rushing to get into the lift as if theres no tomorrow and they just wanna get home quick and do whatever things possible before DDAY. Seriously, people do not know how much they irritate others by rushing and trampling on each others legs without even realizing they did it. A classmate of mind just got 'heeled' today and the person didnt even say sorry.

I know that ERP has increased,fuel prices increase and taxi cost a freaking damn bomb nowadays,but damn why do so many people have to take the damn train at the same time!Every single time i board the train, i have to squeeze in and people just get pissed off with someone who carries a big bag. Hey, sorry if im too hardworking that i bring all my texts which are obviously big and bulky to school OK! Seriously, commuters in Singapore really pisses people off. On one occasion, i reached Outram Park and i stood at the middle. The people who were coming out were somewhat blocked by the big me,pushed me out of the train and gave a black look to me. Thats still alright, but when i went back inside, all i could hear was ck ck ck ck.What the freak man, i mean i stood in the middle, the space around me was still so damn huge that people can overpass me to go out right?See people are so damn impatient that when i reached my station, they were like tugging my bag, saying scuse scuse ck ck ck when they know that i was moving OUT as well!!GEEZ MAN!Singapore try to be the next New York or Tokyo but unfortunately THEY CANT MAKE IT!At least the people there do not ck ck ck ck ck ck all the way.Shows how uncorteous and rude these people are. Not only that, when we move, they dont even say a simple thanks but give us that black look again. Unbelievable?Well im just stating facts.

On the brighter side, the commuters on busses are so much different. They move in, let the oldies sit and well,they dont really care much at all. Plus theyre more courteous by saying excuse me and thanks after going out of their seat.Well i shall stop critisizing here and not annoy or piss more people who commute with me cause im starting to say these things very loudly in trains HAH!So till then,signing off :p

The Beggar King

2008-06-30T20:54:00.001+08:00

Once there was a time, according to legend, when Ireland was ruled by a king who had no son. The king sent out his couriers to post notices in all the towns of his realm. The notices advised that every qualified young man should apply for an interview with the king as a possible successor to the throne. However, all such candidates must have these two qualifications: They must (1) love God and (2) love their fellow human beings.

The Young man about whom this legend centers saw a notice and reflected that he loved God and, also, his neighbors. One thing stopped him, he was so poor that he had no clothes that would be presentable in the sight of the king. Nor did he have the funds to buy provisions for the long journey to the castle. So the young man begged here, and borrowed there, finally managing to scrounge enough money for the appropriate clothes and the necessary supplies.

Properly attired and well-suited, the young man set out on his quest, and had almost completed the journey when he came upon a poor beggar by the side of the road. The beggar sat trembling, clad only in tattered rags. His extended arms pleaded for help. His weak voice croaked, "I'm hungry and cold. Please help me... please?"

The young man was so moved by this beggar's need that he immediately stripped off his new clothes and put on the tattered threads of the beggar. Without a second thought he gave the beggar all his provision as well. Then, somewhat hesitantly, he continued his journey to the castle dressed in the rags of the beggar, lacking provisions for his return trek home. Upon his arrival at the castle, a king's attendant showed him in to the great hall. After a brief respite to clean off the journey's grime, he was finally admitted to the throne room of the king.

The young man bowed low before his majesty. When he raised his eyes, he gaped in astonishment. "You... it's you! You're the beggar by the side of the road."

"Yes," the king replied with a twinkle, "I was that beggar."

"But...bu...bu... you are not really a beggar. You are the king for real. Well, then, why did you do this to me?" the young man stammered after gaining more of his composure.

"Because I had to find out if you genuinely love God and your fellow human beings," said the king. "I knew that if I came to you as king, you would have been impressed by my gem-encrusted golden crown and my royal robes. You would have done anything I asked of you because of my regal character. But that way I would never have known what is truly in your heart. So I used a ruse. I came to you as a beggar with no claims on you except for the love in your hear. And I discovered that you sincerely do love God and your fellow human beings. You will be my successor," promised the king. "You will inherit my kingdom."

The Beggar King

flying

2008-06-21T20:30:00.001+08:00

Once upon a time there was a little boy who was raised in a orphanage.
The little boy had always wished that he could fly like a bird. It was very difficult for him to understand why he could not fly. There were birds at the zoo that were much bigger than he, and they could fly.

"Why can't I?" he thought. "Is there something wrong with me?" he wondered.

There was another little boy who was crippled. He had always wished that he could walk and run like other little boys and girls.

"Why can't I be like them?" he thought.

One day the little orphan boy who had wanted to fly like a bird ran away from the orphanage. He came upon a park where he saw the little boy who could not walk or run playing in the sandbox.
He ran over to the little boy and asked him if he had ever wanted to fly like a bird.

"No," said the little boy who could not walk or run. "But I have wondered what it would be like to
walk and run like other boys and girls."

"That is very sad." said the little boy who wanted to fly. "Do you think we could be friends?" he said to the little boy in the sandbox.

"Sure." said the little boy.

The two little boys played for hours. They made sand castles and made really funny sounds with their mouths. Sounds which made them laugh real hard. Then the little boy's father came with a wheelchair to pick up his son. The little boy who had always wanted to fly ran over to the boy's father and whispered something into his ear.

"That would be OK," said the man.

The little boy who had always wanted to fly like a bird ran over to his new friend and said, "You are my only friend and I wish that there was something that I could do to make you walk and run like other little boys and girls. But I can't. But there is something that I can do for you."
The little orphan boy turned around and told his new friend to slide up onto his back. He then began to run across the grass. Faster and faster he ran, carrying the little crippled boy on his back. Faster and harder he ran across the park. Harder and harder he made his legs travel. Soon the wind just whistled across the two little boys' faces.

The little boy's father began to cry as he watched his beautiful little crippled son flapping his arms up and down in the wind, all the while yelling at the top of his voice,

"I'M FLYING, DADDY. I'M FLYING!"

Story of a frog

2008-06-15T22:10:00.000+08:00

Once upon a time there were a bunch of tiny frogs.... who arranged a running competition.
The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.
A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants....
The race began.....
Honestly: No one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.
You heard statements such as: "Oh, WAY too difficult!!"
"They will NEVER make it to the top."
or: "Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"
The tiny frogs began collapsing.
One by one....
Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher....
The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up....
But ONE continued higher and higher and higher....
This one wouldn't give up! At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower.
Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!
THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?
A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal? It turned out.... That the winner was DEAF!!!!
The wisdom of this story is: Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic....
because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you --
the ones you have in your heart!
Always think of the power words have.
Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!
Therefore: ALWAYS be....POSITIVE!
And above all: Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!

What makes a person?

Ive recently thought about some stuff and thanks to the intro speech we needed to do for public speaking,i came to the topic,what makes a person?What really makes a person?
Is it:
His looks
His smile
His brains
His brawns
His wealth
His personality
His attitude
His cool persona
His kindness
His romantic touch
His emotional quotient

Well personally
I am not handsome
My smile is mostly broken
My brains is that of an average type of guy
I have more fats than muscles in my body
I am not rich and can make ends meet
I consider myself more of a shy guy than an outgoing one
I am narcisistic at times,some might say egoistic,but really im just plain
Im not cool,neither hot,im just me
I am kind,maybe?I let you decide on that one
I am not romantic at all,in fact i dont know what the real definition of romance is
I have never taken the test before,but i THINK it should be high

What one cannot describe by himself,he needs other people to do so. It is only normal to talk highly of one self,but wouldnt it be better for people to actually tell us about ourselves. Only we know ourselves best,but then again,how well do we know. Do not judge a book by its cover,yet we often judge first impressions really highly.Arent we being biased on how we look at people or even ourselves?What then can our definition of ourself be...

Hey everyone,once again i have taken almost forever befor updating my blog but i have perfectly good reasons for that.Summer classes have officialy begun this week and i have to say that i have no regrets taking the subjects im taking,even Eng compo 1.I have to say that nothing is seriously better than going back to school and studying again.The holidays has been killing me!!Brain cells slowly liquidating away from me and coming out from my saliva due to the drool of boredom.I cant believe i cant apply for scholarship(even though my GPA is close to perfect)!Damn dean sure has a grudge against me bad!!Business in school has been quite a hassle,never knew the demand for 2nd hand books was high.Guess being the owner of a company can be quite taxing specially when we're studying as well.

Well Edmund,Jason,Khoony and Chris came to my place to hang and stay ove cause the NP camp that we were suppose to help and attend was so damn messed up that we werent allowed to stay....Really really poor administration by the current NCO's seriously.They seem to have forgotten to have the basics of PICARD and thats not cool at all. So the past few days have been quite of a party at my place as usual. As Jason said it in his blog,my place always seem to end up as a chill crib during the holidays but i dont mind,nothing can be more fun than hanging about with your old pals,specially your brothers.Well sad thats over...

Went to the dentist and bad news comes,the cost to take out both my wisdom tooth is a BOMB!Plus the risks are so high...Now we know the most painful and worrying thing in our human body is the teeth!I cant think of anything else to write so...SIGNING OUT!:P

Granduncle wedding anniversary

2008-05-27T22:28:00.003+08:00

Wow i just realized that i havent blogged for quite a while,in fact for more than a week.Well apologies once again,been rather busy lately specially the last weekend.Im finally back in Singapore so if you guys are looking for me to pay back your loans,party and chill or looking for me just for the sake of missing me!I doubt that happens,just give me a ring or send me a message or somewhat,you know my number so dont tell me you forgot!

The past few days have been really really hectic,had Buffet in ShangRila on Sat with my neighbours,had dinner with J and just talked about nonsensical stuff though damn we looked so gay(hey!theres nothing wrong going out with guy friends especially when he's your bro!)in the pizza place LOL!.Every family member started flowing in on Sunday with bro and sis arriving in the morning.Had lunch in a Thai resto followed by Indiana Jones!Wohoo its a damn good movie,but i think the alien part(SPOILER!!)ruined the show,shouldnt be putting those in an IJ movie.Then guess where i had dinner....the same resto i had on sat afternoon which is 'THE LINE' if you peeps know where it is its actually an international buffet.So ive been binge eating lately which explains my sudden outburst in weight gain.

Went back to school on Monday to report on my grade cause my official one isnt the same as what was listed in the online website.So had to go back and obviously get it done,i mean huge difference in terms of GPA.Well that done,went out with bro to Sim Lim to check out some stuff and according to him,IT stuff here is so much cheaper compared to Indo and i have to agree with him for once.Well rushed back home to change into our suits before going to Shangrila(Yes the 3rd time in 3 days)again for our granduncle's 50th wedding anniversary.A very immense event considering that 60 tables were all filled up and most of them were guests from overseas.Cousins from around the world also came back to celebrate so it was fun to see them back and joke around and eat with them again.Pardon us but its a habit for us Sung family to actually eat a lot,mostly good food too...so umm hehehe i think my stomach is really enjoying itself.Seriously though,dinner was so long it ended past midnight!Damn so much for having it on a weekday lol!

Dad left this morning for Hong Kong,sent bro to the airport in the morning and then went out for badminton with Navin and Co. Long time since ive played that sport and that explains how rusty i was just now.Had to rush back home cause i had to send sis to the airport.So 2x to the airport in a day,how interesting...Anyways if you guys say that this schedule isnt hectice,please imagine being a lazy me and go through all this.So exhausted...well i think i should blog about time management the next time i write.So till then,signing off :p!

mothers day

2008-05-17T11:35:00.004+08:00

Hey everyone,pardon my long absence due to being overseas with really crappy internet services plus the point that im still there makes it even worse.If any of you are wondering where in the world am i right now...im not too far away from Singapore,in fact im back home in Jakarta.Ironically the holidays here are always far from being enjoyable,get bitten by mosquitoes almost every other second,grew fatter as always thanks to the food here :p and finding out that my wisdom teeth is growing horizontally and it requires surgery to take it out!Feel the pain with me come on!

Anyways,since i cant believe i missed the chance to post about mothers day,i shall write one very long essay about mothers,NOT!I'll just write a few pointers on why we should appreciate our mothers and not despise them.
First of all,our mothers are burdened carrying the immense weight of ours in their womb for 9 whole months,think about the pain they have to go through to even deliver us out when we have our first oxygen in this world
Second,every night we subconsciously scream and cry in the middle of the night,guess who are the ones who always gets their sleep distracted and wake up just to keep us quiet
Third,who takes you to school and prepare your meals for you when you take it for granted spitting out all the food you think are disgusting
Fourth,what would it be like if you only live with your siblings or cousins and never with your mom,dont you think that theres something missing?
Fifth,you may think that mothers sometimes cant spare that lil bit of time to care for you when you are sick because they have work,but who pulls the blanket up for you when youre asleep
Sixth,if mothers are so ungrateful to everyone in the world,why is there such a day as mothers day to commemorate what mothers have done
Seventh,they might nag and argue with you about certain matters,sometimes pissing you off,but we easily forget whose genes we got it from
Eighth,it is easily misunderstood that mothers just teaches us about simple things,but what about manners and other life changing questions

We have to think about this and not just take our mothers for granted,I am compared to my other siblings one of those few lucky ones to be able to live with my mom even though i only see her every fortmonth.But even then,the power of a mothers love is not comparable to anything else.Even Mother Mary was devastated to see her son get crucified on the cross,wouldnt it be the same when we spoilt kids fight with them too?Well before i start coming out with more questions and theories i shall end it here :p!So signing off :p!

-Mike
"Happy Mothers Day Mom!!!"

P.S:To that special someone and im sure you know who you are,just want to say that i really miss you and good luck for your exams!

Mugger

2008-05-07T20:34:00.003+08:00

What a week it has been...Seems that i havent updated my blog for quite a while and people are somewhat pestering me so...hehe here i am!Well first of all pardon my long absence cause i was mugging for my finals,yes MUGGING! Quite a rare for a patrician isnt it?Specially when im one of those typical slackers you see in school.Trust me i wasnt lying when i said mugging,even brought my notes to soccer training and reading at every single spare time i had.

Took my SATs again last sat,before going out with Chris,Jason and Edmund that night but had to miss out on the BBQ held at Aly's place,trust me for those people who were annoyed i didnt turn up i really wanted to go for it but i was stuck in the concert in CJ....but at least i had the time to chill out.Miss hanging out with my old buds,so teh pinging once in a blue moon and watching soccer together was really entertaining.Hope to meet you guys again before i go back for my break!

Plus,was having my finals for the past few days thus the intense mugging i had,and now its finally over!!!Wohoo!Haha if i didnt have healthy living today which i find time hassling for a 1 credit class i would have been jumping with joy with my business partners yesterday.All went well for Business Presentation,applauded for our genius idea and ability to speak,specially Nirmall.Had dinner at newyork newyork where Walter was extremely high as he always is.Anyway push back a day back and i was having my Econs finals.Seems that getting an A is almost impossible in that class but on the brighter note,Dr Chitra was saying that only a couple of people can get A and i was one of them. Well thats after she talked to me about integrity and doing the right things...Trust me i was to be blamed for my foolishness and why the need for her to give this talk.

One weird thing though...I studied so much for the past week that i think im addicted to studying!Crazy?Maybe,but at least it allows me to get some stuff into this brain of mine better than letting it liquidify.Plus,the whole week has been really good for me and well hope it gets better!So till the next post,signing off :p!

~Mike

And not forgetting,FORZA MILAN!!Yea!!Nice Derby and going back to 4th spot plus we got Flamini!HAHAHA!

Handwritings

2008-04-28T21:33:00.002+08:00

Seems that i havent had the chance of writing here for quite a while,been rather and intensely busy with assignments,football,tests and of course my upcoming finals!Well i shall be writing about my most recent nick which is "why do girls write like computers while guys write like doctors"

First and foremost before you start critisizing about the damn title in the first place, let me just say that im generalizing and its based on MY point of view so zip before you let those smelly breath of yours come and kill me!

It is widely known that majority of the girls do write like computers, neat,tidy,amazingly in order and lets just say...legible.Compared to us guys,we practically have our future predicted by having our handwritings look like doctors.Not saying that we are going to be doctors anyways unless you really want to check out SARS patients,those who are going to die of horrible pain and so on, you have certainly done your homework. For females who wish to be doctors,umm try practising more on the scribbling alright :p..Anyways i look around the guys i know and they seem to be writing either as illegible as mine or even worse!If you wanna know why mine looks like i'll show you what the teachers have said about me and sad to say its all true.

Dr Chitra: "Michael your handwriting looks like ants walking on paper!"
Ms Pereira:"Are you trying to make me blind?"
Mr Gills:"Now you know why i only give you an L1 and not your supposedly L5?"
Mr Chng:"Eh how i know its an a,looks like a d to me"
Mrs Ong:"Michael i cant even differentiate your 4 and 9"
Mrs Er:"Michael your mind must be beffudled!"
Dr Jacobs:"Umm can you tell me what you wrote over there?"
Dr Hamilton:"Thank goodness the next assignment will be written in the computer"

As you can see from the comments, that my handwriting how can i say this...is rather magical and interesting and i think that my signature is actually more readable than my own handwriting!Ok i bet guys often that theyre handwriting is just too crappy and they wont get good grades unless it is written neater. Well to tell you the truth,ive not seen any girls get that comment before. As a matter of fact!Teachers like girls work better cause theyre all so nicely organized for the teachers to read,smile and just hug the paper to sleep or something....But when they see the guys paper,man do they use it to wipe their asses even though what we have is already shit. Now i know why Mr Lim hasnt given back our essays since sec 1,i think he just uses it to heat up his fireplace like he tells us so.

Now since ive been in a boys school for the past 10 years,i have not experienced first hand the frustrations from the teachers for girls works but i do know that they sure write neater than us XY species. One thing for sure though is that lefties tend to write neater than us righties. Now before you guys start opening your mouths again wait till i explain why i think that way. Half of the council in sec 4 last year was lefties including the TIC himself. Comparing to the notes we take during meetings,the guys who are left handed wrote so much clearer than the guys who are right handed including me. Plus i know of friends who are dominant of both hands,good example is Mark Koh who can write with both hands and still look better than mine damn it! Lol!Cant blame him for being gifted to be able to write with both hands anyways. Before i get too long, i shall reason my thinkings on why girls write better than guys. As we all know, we relate guys to pigs and thats why we tend to be lazier.Maybe because our hands are fat too thats why we write like crap. But dont forget its because of us having bigger hands thats why we tend to write crappier. I mean look at the difference between an average girls hand and an everage guys, we're probably at least 3 cm longer on each fingers. Not forgetting that all pens are made at an equal size which makes the girls have a better grip on them. So girls have smaller hands which needs less muscles to move,their fingers nicely grip onto the pen and well they just write nicer!Unfortunately for us guys, we have big fat fingers, we have a weird way of carrying our pens to write on the paper and we are just too damn lazy to move it!Seems that the girls have like some computer chip programmed inside them to write like microsoft word or something. Different fonts,sizes and colours too!Maybe girls just have that creative touch that we guys dont have but hmm i doubt thats true as well. Sad to say that gays are more creative too which makes it 2 to 1...But hey!Gays have the same features as guys too.

In conclusion,we say that XX species have the upper advantage of writing nicely than the XY species. But that doesnt mean the XXY or the XYY write as neat too!But not forgetting,handwriting cannot be used to describe a persons personality,looks and such cause that is total nonsense though i still believe in good first impressions. Trust me as much as i hate to say this,i have both bad first impression and handwriting but hmmm does that make me a big fat bad ugly person?Well i let you peeps who read this decide....Till the next post!

"Why do girls write like computers and guys write like doctors"

How are people remembered?

2008-04-17T22:39:00.002+08:00

Well i just ripped this off my essay and its not really amazingly well written at all but yea how are people usually remembered....

How are People Usually Remembered?

A topic that usually entices people is how people are usually remembered. How do people actually get this privilege and be remembered for who they are? Most of those who do get remembered are usually famous people like actors, heroes, and sportsmen. Then again, what about those people who are just a small time character in this entire world. There are people who are remembered by people in their hearts simply for the little things they do. I know of these kinds of people, those that are just average Joes but yet remembered in the community. The reasons why these people are remembered is because of what they have done before, what makes them different, and what they compare to other famous people.

First, people are usually remembered for what they have done. People might think that just by doing something special and extraordinary they get remembered. These happen when it comes to the Guinness Book of records. Record breaking wannabes do try out the impossible just to get themselves inside the book. It might seem that it’s a really crazy idea to try and beat records that are set by people who have amazing talents. However, you will be surprised by the amount of people who actually succeed these impossible tasks to set a new record. Then it makes you think again, is it really worth the effort? Imagine being gifted in something special that no one has and given the chance to be remembered for it. Do you think that you don’t mind losing this opportunity and continue being anonymous to the public eye and only special to your family and peers? An increasing number of people prefer to be remembered for what they have and what they do than to just remain anonymous and there is nothing wrong about that. Therefore, people do want to get remembered for what they do and the gifts they might have.

Second, there are certain types of people that are different from others. These are the people who have an exorbitant personality and are always liked by the people. In a community, there usually are people who are either the star or the black sheep. The stars are the one that makes much of the difference in other people’s lives, be it helping them in the simplest way to make that persons day. These kinds of people are often welcomed and blessed with the showers of smile and laughter. However, we cannot forget about those black sheep. As rude as it may sound, the black sheep are always the ones who ruin things, but it is because of their immaturity that they too are remembered. A person usually remembers the bad things that occur to them first before rekindling on the better ones. As unfortunate as it sounds, the black sheep is usually the one that can be recalled first before remembering those outstanding ones. Therefore, the difference in people makes them remembered either for their kindness or their foolishness.

Third, a common question is how people are compared to their more famous counterparts. After all, there are billions of people in earth, how can these individuals compare to those who are stars in Hollywood and yet be remembered as well. Other than being different and what they have done, these individuals are also remembered for just being themselves. A book cannot be judged by its cover and so are people. People are also not what they wear but who they are. People often misjudge others by thinking of the wrong things and assuming things which might not be true. Being original really brings out the character in people; they do not have to act to be remembered. What actually makes people different and accepted is because they are just being themselves. There are people in the other dimension which is similar to you, but not in this world. There can only be one you and no one else can copy who you are. People remember others for what they are and not because they are good at something or pleasing to the eye. Originality is the key component of a person to be easily remembered. Not even actors in Hollywood can compare to that since they themselves are performers of life. Therefore, people are remembered for who they are and not because of their popularity vote.

In conclusion, people are remembered because of what they do, they are different from others and what they are to other famous people. People are remembered by different people for different things. Most of the time, it is the impact on other people that makes these individual so honored to be remembered. Then again, who are those people that we know who we always remember?

Not at all an A grade work and yet more thoughts can still be poured into it just that i cant think properly right now but im sure this isnt what i wanted to write at all but then again just a thought to spare.....

"Are we remembered for who we are?"

Speech Day...

2008-04-07T22:00:00.000+08:00

I guess there is one thing in my wish list that will never be crossed out..and that is being the Senior Pat. Today was speech day and prize giving which i obviously did not attend not because of anger and jealousy towards David who beat me to it cause of academical reasons...but I have to Congratulate him for getting it anyways.

But what comes to my mind before all this was simply...Why i didnt win it.
I have contributed 4 years of my youth and time for the school which i love and will not forget.I am one of those teens who is supposed to be one of the last due to my PSLE score and which i proved the school wrong because ive established myself as one of the top few percentiles in school.I managed to get at least some position in every CCA i join and most of them either as president or lowest EXCO.More recognizable than any prefect in school other than Dickson(Head Prefect).And the lists of me me me goes on.

But there is no more point rantling on and just complaining about me not getting it.In fact i think David rightly deserves it.Ever since i got the news that i wasnt senior pat i was actually devastated.Trust me ive been aiming to get my name on the hall and get to touch that big ass trophy since i first step to st pats.Every single year i participate in speech day,marching and finally sitting in the hall and see those honoured few who were able to get that prize really tickled my senses.But I dont think it matters much anymore. What is done is done and cannot be undone. I was satisfied with my results for my O's though i should have done much better. However most importantly, is the memories and sweat i have poured out for the school.

Yes people might remember you for having your name up in the hall and it will be there for the next 50 years or so.But if you think about it,does fame really matter?Do people only remember you for that name up in the hall or for what you have done for the school. I know of many individuals in the school who have done more greater things than David,giving their all for the school.But how will the other teachers or students remember them?I think they will remember the person as one who gives everything without looknig back and thinking of regrets.People are remembered for the little things they do and not just because of their posts or name.I can still remember who taught me how to do things myself and be a better leader,that person in Mr Chang.The list goes on for those people i have to thank and unfortunately i wont list them down but you should know who you are.

I think i shall stop here and think more about this topic of how people will be remembered,so till then...Signing off :p

Materialistic Girls

2008-03-30T22:00:00.002+08:00

Lets just start off by discussing some questions that really baffle and somewhat pissed people of. The topic is:Having a girlfriend with very low maintenance?PRICELESS. Its actually my nickname on msn but since there was so many criticism to it then why not talk about it :p.

Alright,now why do I think that girls have high maintenance fee.First thing i have to say is,take a look around you.If there are girls who doesnt have any make up,accessories and branded items, congratulations,youve just met someone that fits my nickname. Unfortunately, more and more girls are being pampered and get really whatever they ask for. I pity those boyfriends who have these kind of girlfriends.Not only do they have to suffer looking at the pricetags in the shops but paying for it too!HAHA yea,now you know why guys tend to be poorer than girls?Well thats your answer. Ok i might be generalizing girls to be more of the materialistic kind but what can i say,statistics show that more than 1/4 of the girls in singapore actually have at 1 least 1 branded good, be it watches,jewelries and bags. Girls are just too pampered really, and although guys who treat girls during their dates are considered more gentlemanly but they are the ones who are the "blondes". If you do not understand what i mean by "blonde" it means empty inside the skull, and if you still dont know what im talking about, youre definitely a blonde. But coming back to the point, guys should take a stand. Why do we have to pay for the girls expenses and not the other way around. Why does the law have caning for guys and not for girls and why does the army only enlist males and not females. Well, girls are just too exclusive in society. But once again im generalizing again. Though i think that girls are really important cause without them, there wont be an LGBTA(Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transexual Association)- this is a real association in many universities in the US. In fact it will only be GPTA(Gays Poking Transexual Association) and i dont think anyone wanna see guys poking each others hole anywhere in their anatomy or should i say anal-only.

Before you girls start sending death threats to me concerning this topic, i shall help redeem yourselves by rebuting my own point. Guys who are gentleman should treat girls. But when the guy always goes dutch with you, you should go ditch with him. It is always alright to go dutch, especially when you two arent even together though occassional treatings are obviously welcomed. But if you two are together, make the guy treat you every fortnight, its their duty to pay for your expenses. If guys arent able to pay you for your meals but yet show his undying love for you, you can either say go and die or just be mesmerized by his words. Trust me, either one is good but just dont use it on me please. Now, are girls really that high to mantain? Yes and No. Yes because you girls just want too many things. And no cause your just being smart by taking advantage of your boyfriend who is willing to even sell his underwear for you. Trust me the latter is true love though it can be considered as plain stupidity if you take it as long term. Im sure you girls will not want to have an underwealess boyfriend who walks in the street feeling "airy". Pardon me for the explicit contents that has been written in this post but hey im just stating facts you know. Unfortunately girls are much smarter than guys though theyre much physically weaker. So why do we call females with blonde hair a dumb blonde? It doesnt make sense even though their the sexiest breed of females around. I think their brains are more in their chest than their head but you win some and you lose some right? Thank goodness when i dye my hair yellow i wont be dumb cause im still too smart for them. Dont make sense?Go figure. Anyways i think my discussion is really offending people so i guess i shall stop here!Signing off :p

Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.

What can be more unreasonable than having a hell load of tests coming right at you..The answer is having a shit load of writing assignments to hand in within a really short period of time!Welcome to College Michael...if it is that easy everyone will have qualified for it in the first place.Time for me to put toothpicks in between my eye lids to keep awake andstudy and do my work at the same time.I wonder who came up with that idea before mr bean.Seriously,its as creative as how it works,and it works wonders too.

Ok digressing from the wonders of toothpicks other than keeping you awake and getting food out of your already crammed mouth.I came accross the topic about fairness in lit class and in tickle me elmo courtesy of Jason. As quoted " IF life is fair,why do roses have thorns?". Well first of all you have to question yourself,if life really fair to you?Do you suffer as much as others do? The answer is most probably a no the first while a yes to the latter. Now we have to think why is life unfair to some of us.Maybe born in a poor family or have defects which you think might really affect your life. But seriously, everyone is born equal.Even God himself gave a part of his flesh to make Adam and Eve, what makes you think that he didnt leave anything for us? In a sort of romantic way, a roses' life is in a state of fairness. Discussed it with Cheryl but i still think life is fair. Roses are the most beautiful flower there is in the world unless anyone else has a different perspective to it. However thorns make it equally as bad,so when people ask why such a beautiful flower like a rose has thorns?Well its because its fair. Now lets say for example, a guy who loves a girl wishes to express his feelings but has no $$ to buy a stalk in the shop. He decides to pick it up from the wild which still has thorns on it. Doesnt it sound fair to you that he risks his own skin and flesh to take up that flower just to prove his love for someone? As love says it..anything which one sacrifices for the sake of love,is worth pursuing.

Ok i think that fairness is still very subjective, it depends on a persons perspective and i cant agree more on that.For the case of roses, the thorns doesnt really ruin it but it actually protects it as well.But once again it depends on ones mind.Before i really piss people off by saying life is actually fair and its up to us to decide how it goes,i think i shall stop here heh.Well signing off :p!

"If life is fair...why do roses have thorns?"

What a week

2008-03-02T23:04:00.002+08:00

Well its about time i blog about something so heres what happened with me the past week...
I guess im slacking too much cause it seems that my results in school arent at all satisfactory,in fact is sucks!Getting very little A's and loads of C's...hmm maybe cause of the difference in the grading system?I dont know.Even got a shitty grade for lit too..ironic since that subject is one of my forte..

Anyways,all i can say is the week has been pretty hectic with this and that to do and of course CHILLOUT@Sentosa which was held yesterday.School event and as usual..the turnout wasnt that good but cant blame it on the laziness of the student body.Blame it on the rain!!How can we have a beach party when its pouring right?Well guess we have the answer!When it rains and youre holding a beach party..just continue,no one goes to the beach on a rainy day anyways so its good cause you have it all to yourself!Screw the rest of the people who says that going to the beach when its wet sucks..i mean seriously peeps,whats the point of going to a beach to just tan your damn self of when theres so much UV around the air already.Plus its good to take a swim in salty water cause salt is good for your skin if you all didnt know!Unfrotunately..my watched malfunctioned when i took a dip even though it said that its water resistant up to 200m...what bullshit now im stuck with no time and so if im late for whatever reason,you should know i dont have a watch!

Hitched a ride back with Shariff and damn he has a freaking nice car!I mean seriously...i wish i had the car he has...can just go round picking up girls with that LOL!But too bad,as history have it,im really very UNLUCKY with girls.Im like some chick repellant or something.And that is why i dont have a car cause i find no point getting one when the public transport in Singapore is so damn great that i have to freaking wait like freaking half an hour for one stupid bus.Well done SMRT you make our lives seriously livable.Now we just have to think why people lose their jobs so easily?Well its thanks to busses like these and the taxi which so rip you off of your damn money.People reach office late they get fired,people get grumpy and start arguing,and then FIGHT!!

Another issue which I personally find damn hilarious is Mas Slamat,runaway JI leader!I salute yuo for making the government look stupid and you even made the DPM say sorry!Haha about time someone did that,well too bad slamat,youre wanted everywhere here,cant believe there are like shit posters of you in my place and the more i look the more i laugh..Why?You dont look frigging different with or without a moustache so why he heck do people need to know what you look like before and after.Plus i passed by a newspaper stall and i saw the New Paper with the different faces you might have...i mean seriously?Its ridiculous!So anyways...i hope you get caught soon cause you have killed so many innocent lives that having youre face in the wanted list is so priceless.Ok before i start critisizing more people or things i better stop here so yeah signing off :p!

Heres something that will lighten up your day :p

"Never Lie To Girls"

There was a man resting and enjoying the view on the beach. He saw a little girl coming toward him, so he covered himself with the newspaper he was reading. The girl came up to him and asked, "What do you have under the newspaper?"

Thinking quickly, the guy replied, "A bird." The girl walked away, and the guy fell asleep. When he woke up, he was in a hospital in tremendous pain. The police asked him what happened. The guy says, "I don't know. I was lying on the beach, this little girl asked me a question, I guess I dozed off, and the next thing I know is I'm here."

The police went to the beach, found the girl, and asked her, "What did you do to that naked fellow?" After a pause, the girl replied, "To him? Nothing. I was playing with his bird and it spit on me, so I broke its neck, cracked its eggs, and set its nest on fire!"

Another poem

2008-02-19T16:49:00.002+08:00

VCR

OPEN

Our minds with thought
That flows right through
Our body and soul
To see what life
Carries for us all

CLOSE

Peer pressure with
An antidote of family
Maybe even friends
To lead you out
Of imminent temptations

PLAY

Memories that you wish
To reminisce the time
You had with everyone
Close though some further
And will never leave

FAST FORWARD

Fear and nightmares
Traumatic experience
Haunting each night
Persistent interference
That continues playing

REWIND

Sweet moments of
Love and kisses
Where hearts beat
Twice as fast
For someone else

PAUSE

Life experiences
Happy moments
Sweet dreams
Eternal love
Human virtues

STOP

And just take a while
To think as it is
Look around with open eyes
To see and actually feel
How great life really is

~Michael Patrick Sung

Valentines day

2008-02-14T16:07:00.001+08:00

Happy Valentines Day everyone...this poem is one i personally wrote and its a special dedication for someone :p..so till then..HAVE FUN!

Alarm Clock

BEEP BEEP BEEP
The alarm clock rings
With eyes still swollen
I gave a good ol’ yawn
And went back to sleep

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Dreaming of our first date
Nervous yet excited
Going out with the girl
The blew me away
From the first moment I saw her

BEEP BEEP BEEP

We went to the restaurant
And sat next to the window
A splendid view accompanied
By a splendid meal
Of laughter, joy and love

BEEP BEEP BEEP

We walked around the area
To kill some time we spared
Before the moment arrives
For the movie that makes
The cinema fill with smiles

BEEP BEEP BEEP

A popcorn bucket so full
We were really such fools
To buy one we did not know
Though price was such a haul
It was worth a try after all

BEEP BEEP BEEP

We left the cinema with
Giggles and lots of ‘HAHA’
But it’s time to go
And finally be apart
As we each went our separate ways

BEEP BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I finally woke up
With a smile on my face
My hands still
Clinging onto hers
I too see the smile
On her face
The one that blew me away
Since the first time I saw her

~Michael Patrick Sung

Poem

2008-02-05T22:54:00.004+08:00

Here's another poem for the moment....

When I'm with you,
eternity is a step away,
my love continues to grow,
with each passing day.

This treasure of love,
I cherish within my soul,
how much I love you...
you'll never really know.

You bring a joy to my heart,
I've never felt before,
with each touch of your hand,
I love you more and more.

Whenever we say goodbye,
whenever we part,
know I hold you dearly,
deep inside my heart.

So these seven words,
I pray you hold true,
"Forever And Always,
I Will Love You."

Valentines coming

2008-02-05T22:54:00.002+08:00

Heya to all,since Valentines is coming in a couple of days..I shall post a few poems in the upcoming days instead of writing bout my daily life story lol!

My Love

My love is like an ocean
It goes down so deep
My love is like a rose
Whose beauty you want to keep.

My love is like a river
That will never end
My love is like a dove
With a beautiful message to send.

My love is like a song
That goes on and on forever
My love is like a prisoner
It's to you that I surrender.

2008-02-05T22:54:00.001+08:00

Chinese New Year is never short of surprises,the biggest one of em all?I got sick.How unlcuky can i really get!Lost my voice throughout the 5 day break so all i can say was happy chinese new year though i kept on saying "where the hell is my hong bao man" under my breath.Thank goodness it cant be heard hehe.Oh right the first thing my parents did when they saw me at lunch during the eve of CNY was to book a barber in the salon."Go cut your hair" the exact same words both my parents said to me.Well i guess my new hairstyle aint too bad...makes me look younger as a matter of fact thanks to the professional hairstylist who usually cuts my hair.

Received quite a bit of $$ this year and i mean USD!Yay this year the record was broken!Got like 2 times the amount of USD this year compared to last year,but RP dropped.Damn its like economics...As demand increases,supply drops causing a shortage.But who cares,not like im gonig to spend the mone anyways except to treat my family to japanese buffet in a 6 star hotel which costs a bomb!!It was lame!I lost in a scrabble game cause all i had was vouls and that was the bet.Well one thing for sure is i kicked my brother's ass in pool for once.I was 7-0 down!Final score 10-11 and i won it!WOHOO!Haha but really funny,the group of guys around our table was like bald,had low pants and were wearing pink underwear.I know you guys might think its cool but please man its hilarious,get a fashion expert for you guys to know how to dress or something man.Oh wells im back here and hanged out with Pao and Tarci last night.Had class again today and damn it was fun though i didnt really speak much due to my throat which i certainly still have lost my voice.Oh wells signing off :p!

Saturday morning...insufficient sleep yet i woke up early to help out with the guys to carry the beds to the old folks.Met Chris in TPY for breakfast and talked about soccer all the way through the HDB haha interestin chat.Then met the others while still being early.Walked to the surrounding HDB;s to deliver the beds before most of em came to my crib to chill.Played pool volleyball,dodgeball and then started cam whoring all the way!Imagine the weirdness.Well Edmund,Mark and Marcus had to leave early,leaving behind me,Jason,Chris and Mark Koh.Watched Amazing race asia where we totally laughed our ass off watching them.Had dinner at Hans in park mall before meeting Daryl,Tarci and Dom at borders.Got my Lasallian Leadership award cert,which was a Gold after reconsideration lol!

Injured once again

2008-01-20T22:04:00.000+08:00

Ouch!What a way to start my debut when i only lasted 50 mins on the pitch before being "stretchered out"...Played at Punggol Sec and gosh the travel there is already a pain. Ok lets see match summary...

1)Got the No 2 Jersey.
2)Played Centre back
3)Assigned to mark opponent number 8 FYI who was a caucasian 2m tall and super log legs which makes it so easy to sprint pass me(which happened 80% of the time!)
4)Within first half the score was 1-1.
5)Went back in with my gameplay improved..
6)After 5 mins into the second half, the no 8 passed me and as i was about to hack him...my leg had to get jammed to the pitch and it twisted!OUCH!!and sad to say both my legs!!
7)Sat out for the rest of the match only to watch my team lose 5-2..
8)Went back with Jasman,limping all the way to the mrt and back home...

Overall individual performance :4/10
I hope i can do better...specially not getting injured!!

Well back to reading my Robinson Crusoe..so signing off :p!

Well first of all i have to say...World Literature class is crazy!!I mean not only is it conducted by the Dean himself which i have to suck up to cause i wanna be part of the Student Governemtn hehe,hopefully even get high office!Ok why i say its crazy?Well we have to read like 1 whole text every single week and im not just saying normal novels,but olden age novels written by people from all over the world of different race and heritage.So thats practically 1 book-1 week plus reviews.

Principle Of Econs wasnt that bad except the teacher had a really deep india accent and well...she pronounced my name as Michelle and not Michael..very embarassing really..

Well other than that,went out with the usual peeps today for the HIV/AIDS exhibiton held in SMU..very saddening indeed with the issues that are happening around the world..the journey was interesting really...my character was tested positive for HIV so i was given the + on my arm.Had to wait someone to have a - to take me out.Did like beads bracelet to remember the walkthrough and hehe seems more people are interested in making that!Had lunch,played pool with my best record of playing 4 and winning 4!Whee well yea went home and continues reading Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe...im halfway there!!!So gotta read plus do all the other assignments i have *sigh* oh wells signing off :p!

"A twist in the mind doesn't mean that it has to be weird"

Classes so far!

2008-01-16T23:00:00.000+08:00

Well since econs class got cancelled on monday so i had nothing to do on that day cept go back to st pats and hang out with Tarci and Mark!

College Algebra-its like F maths but more of A maths and that sucks cause i didnt learn A maths at all in school so like i only understand half of what the teacher is teaching.The class?Majority are like in their 2nd or 3rd semester.

Intro to business-Nothing that my dad doesnt know of.Was rather interesting though,quite enriching and easy if you had the experience and get the hang of it.

Advanced Compo-only 12 of us!!And none of us are Singaporeans!So practically all foreigners in the class though i hate to admit i guess im the most fluent amongst the rest but oh well shant be too proud and better get an A for the subject!

Intro to healthy living-So far was a total waste of time cause the teacher came late and all he did was intro each other and decide on how the stuff is gonna be graded and class just ended after that so yea!

All i know is a lot of Singaporeans in the school as well,majority older than me and damn the classes are far more interesting than ive imagined so yea!signing off :p

Well well,whats the best thing to do before school other than people staying over in your place,forming our own band,watch movies and all the other stuff that i deem unsoothing for the younger ones.Umm dont think sick ok!Well yesterday chris came early and we played soccer which now i know not to do when its wet!Then in the afternoon J,KJ and Ben came over.Tarci had to leave early but the rest of us went to Cine to watch I Am Legend.Lets just say the movie made me and Ben jump.Thanks to the darning sound effects!Played Para Para as well,stamina has really dropped...can only make it to stage 3 of Hard mode :<.Went home to watch Borat,the Arsenal and Man U match.Arsenal...how the hell can you draw with B'mingham and Newcastle..find a damn manager for goodness sake!Though i have to admit that Ronaldo totally dived for the first goal.But 6-0?Thats a total knockout!

Feel so exhausted now...for the past 2 days been sleeping at 4 and waking up at 8..and doing all the rigorous activities can really kill.Specially when i had soccer trials this afternoon and once again being the youngest amongst the group.Had an Ex Singapore National to be our coach,interesting training but the weather made me exhaust all my energy.Played GK for the practice match cause there was sufficient CB but only 1 Gk...all i can say is i can coordinate defence so much better now.Feel so honoured when they said i was good!:p oh wells then i have school tomorrow..though its only 1 half hour!Till then signing off :p

Went to Benson's place for the weekend,uber fun,full of weight lifting and eating.And i means loads of eating.Dinner,then supper,then cakes.Slept at like 4?then woke up at noon before we went go karting!I have to admit that i'm not really good at driving at all,its like i drifted off and crashed a couple of times.We even had to wear gloves and a helmet just in case.

Going once,going twice and gone!Welcome to the year 2008!I know i'm a bit late posting this but only got internet access today hehe.Well gotta say the countdown party really rocked!Courtesy of Reza and his restaurant and thanks to him again we actually got seats cause it was supposedly jam packed..And guess who i sat with,cant believe it as well..he's a gay but i was sitting face to face with Indonesia's famous designer/artiste!Haha Ivan Gunawan or aka Madame Ivan.And surprisingly for a gay he sure has a huge physique plus it was his birthday on new years eve so what a surprise.Got pictures but cant load it up cause dont have the cable with me now..Well partied hard till like 1 in the morning before deciding it was getting pretty late.Hehe you can never guess what i saw!An old lady dancing on top of a table with rock music playing!Is like so damn funny man,lets just say inside Pisa Cafe,we just go wild.

Well thats that,woke up at noon again on new years before going out to play pool and watched a movie in gold class :p!Thank goodness the ticket price here for gold class here is so much cheaper compared to Singapore.Went out for like a korean steak dinner,cost around 1million rp for just me,my bro and his girlfriend.Oh well bad thing bout my family is we spend too much on food.BACK TO WORK!Sadly internet connection was down yesterday so i was like dreading myself writing stuff umm you wouldnt wanna know what and waiting for time to just pass by.

Oh wells..8 more days to go before i go back to singapore,cant wait for it...Both mom and dad not back from the Carribean,bet theyre enjoying their holidays,its been close to 3 weeks since they have been gone.Oh wells signing off :p

Well thats the case now!For the past week,i was once again down with an unknown virus which struck me and made me bedridden,literally.For the whole week,my temperature was up and down and up and down...really sounds like dengue or typhoid,but thank goodness!I didnt get any of that cause man that will really suck.But i wasnt able to go work,specially when my parents are out on their honeymoon again,this time to the carribean sea cruise with first class accomodations!!Damn and im still here with my bro and sis hah!Oh well least we have each other for Christmas,better than just me alone again.Went for my cousins baptism and confirmation and first communion(first time i witness all 3 in 1 mass) on friday and going to church was really the cure for me cause i actually got better!

Went out straight away on Sat where me and my bro played pool again,kicked his ass for once and now he's asking for a rematch later this evening before we go for dinner and watch a movie i think?Going to church tomorrow morning instead of tonight cause damn its gonna be packed in the evening.Oh well least i recovered in time to celebrate Christmas :p,so till then,signing off!

Oh yea 1 more thing,heres some things to note when youre sick:
1.Dont sleep in the bed too long,it'll cause your back to hurt more
2.Drink loads of water cause it'll help you hydrate
3.Dont thing you're alright when you're not cause it'll just make you worse
4.Sleep early,wake up early,eat properly!

Hmm is not posting for 5 days pretty long?Guess i was too busy with work and loads of other stuff :p!K the past week has been rather enriching and educational.Had a hell load of meetings with the HOD's, followed by the directors + accounting dept. then now,just waiting to go for another one. Well all i can say was the highlight of the week,which is attending an MBA class..if you dont know what that stands for its Masters for Business Administration.Class was about MIS-Management Information System and the lecturer from Malaysia was hmm...how shall i describe him...lol ok..

Milan in Yokohama winning their 4th Intercontinental Title
Best Club in the WORLD!

Weddings are happening in Indonesia like every single hour,attended like 3 in the past 3 days!One of em was my cousins though heh.But the best thing that happened this week was of course Milan beating Boca Juniors 4-2!Which means Milan is the best in the world!Winning champions league,super cup and the club world cup in this year itself!And hopefully Kaka will win the Fifa pro player award aka PFA too!Sometimes i really wonder why im so football crazed and how i actually fell in love with the game in the first place.Oh wells i guess its fate that the passion in me grew for.Oh yeah had a party with my old teachers family and their friends which are mostly from the British International school,i actually sat in the same table with their principal.Switching of presents was fun though i almost got a watch made in switzerland. One of the toys called ZERO BLASTER was one of the most attractive presents as well though its just a toy,people horded it for the fun of it.So all in all i guess it was great,i miss loads of peeps in Singapore cause it can be really boring here and you guys can really make it up over there.I so miss you peeps!oh well signing off :p

APLYC8 and the holidays

2007-12-11T14:12:00.000+08:00

One thing i have to say about the past week...it was....FANTASTIC!!!APLYC 8 was really a blast and an experience i will never forget.I have so much to say yet if i list everything down its gonna be really long so..lets try to summarize it a bit.

Was the Liesion Officer for Indonesian Delegates cause practically i was the only Indon in the OT and the only one who can actually speak Bahasa.This was probably the first time i spoke so much bahasa in school cause if you guys know me well,i never use that language.Ok my partner in crime is Joe and damn he's funny.We picked em up in the airport and i purposely didn't use Indo to not let em know im Indon but oh well i used it anyways.Drove with Charles and the old run down van as their mode of transport back to school.Did registration,tour and dinner before i had to go back home to prepare my clothes for mr Tan's wedding.

My alarm couldn't be more irritating,since Joe stayed in school he called me and was like,"SHIT MIKE!!THE INDONS ARE MISSING!"Gave me a shock of my life i tell you but then again i found out that they just left for a walk in the morning and wished Joe luck cause i'll only be back in like mid afternoon.Never did i know that it was the marathon day so taking a cab to the hotel was a really bad choice.Got stuck in traffic and so i had to walk along city hall just to get to the hotel!Oh well anyways the meal and the wedding was quite funny cause Mr Ng,really cant do a wedding Emcee and i seriously pity mr Tan.So Congratulations to you Mr Tan and Ms Chen or Mrs Tan!Hehe met a few old teachers there as well,Ms mag tan who i must really say look much prettier than before and the rest who look exactly like they are in school!K had to rush back to school for Aplyc and hitched a ride in Mr Goh's car.Went back just in time for mass and can see that a wide variety of people were already there.After mass was dinner followed by ice breakers and stuff.

2nd day which was supposedly dragon boating day,the OT's had to leave early to SJI PAC to rehearse for the heritage play.Really chaotic but i guess the play turned out great though there were a bit of miscues here and there.Another personal achievement of mine is i only had the chance to rehearse once cause i didn't go for the retreat.Well i must say i can audition for Hollywood alright,haha just kidding lol.Lajuli was the funniest scene with Ben throwing his specks down and all the drama and action :p,saw Cheryl in the spectator stands and whoa that made me nervous specially when my scene was that of a drunkard teacher and i was supposed to act really dirty and disgusting which i hopefully did cause i ate something out of my shoe!!

The next day was Heritage Trail and i pity Ian cause he was dressed up as Father Buriel and was supposed to walk around in the Cathedral.Yeap,he was bombarded by people asking for confession and giving donations!Edmund was another center of attraction with the Aussies thanks to his cute face?maybe haha.Well instead of joining the trail,me and david decided to take a tour of our own and guess what!We saw this painting called "Potrait of Yeo Lan" and you can never believe that IT IS REALLY HER!Mrs mole from st pats!!Ironic that shes famous in the art museum and yet a joke in st pats!Oh well took lots of pics with Colins cam though i have to apologize if some of the pics arent that spectacular cause im a scenic photographer and not a group one.That night was also the cultural night plus bbq.All the different cultures showing off their cultural items and dances.And whats best,i actually met a SHE MAN!Not the comic but a real life person!Ok,i finally saw the kiwi's Hakka Dance and damn its cool.Most of the performances was stunning but Singapore's was just to plain and simple.Oh yea since the bbq had extra 100 chickens to spare,Allister and I brought like the whole tray to the canteen and courtyard to eat lol.I think both of us ate like total of 30 pieces.You should hear his stories about the canoeist,much worse than the 2 of us!

Journey was up next on the 4th day,where i was the IC for the entertainment group.I find this quite interesting cause if you ask anyone who knows me..im not much of an entertainer though lame jokes and such do come out once in a while :p.When we reached TPCC,gosh the vice chair of it have to give us a history lecture which was so damn boring!Thank goodness it wasnt that long.Went to an old folks gathering place and instead of we entertaining them,they entertained us with Er Hu and Karaoke.K after that,some of the delegates went up to visit the other old folks in their homes while some were left behind.I dont know what happened but in the end i was all alone in the gathering place talking with the old folks.Well the auntie i was talking with was very funny saying how life is great,even in the darkest times.I have to agree with her.And i had to speak chinese to them cause none of the old people could speak english,so i hope they could understand what i was saying!It was pouring on the way back and well got wet.The Aircon inside the CC made us freeze i tell you.Well it was only then that i found a sparring partner!Andolin,a delegate of mine,gosh she sure is tough!K i shall talk about the sparring later on cause we had creative workshop when we went back.Prepared the rooms and took a glimpse of the instructors and wow the dance instructors are quite hot.No wonder so many people signed up for it!I do have to admit that I went for it for only 15 mins before going to the cove and have a higher level of meditation or also known as sleep.According to GuanWen,I almost sucked my thumb when I was sleeping!Well after dinner and Solidarity Lasalliana again and where most delegates are supposed to be sleeping, I took the opportunity to spar with Ando. From a crowd of 3 it suddenly became like a crowd of 20.Pretty embarrassing cause I wasn’t as flexible as before and I kinda hesitated a bit. I mean cmon,she’s a girl!Had 3 rounds of 5 mins. Sweat like no ones business after each round. And all I know after the sparring session, I was really in pain. I only found out when I was about to take a shower..a huge lump on my right leg,probably due to the kicks.Even though we finished sparring, the spectators got so hyped up that they’re teaching other how to fight and stuff, weird but I guess im fine with it.

Woke up the next day feeling exhausted, for 5 days in a row, the OT’s have only 4 hours of adequate sleep.A contrast to the delegates cause they have beds,pillows and blankets while we only have the cold hard floor! They had this small skit in the morning about being separated by society or something like that. Didn’t really pay much attention cause after that,went to the bunk and knocked out. Had country sharing after lunch and the delegates discussed their situation and hopes for their country. I cant remember what happened after that, I think it should be mega summary but was called up for final reflection. The delegates were asked to fill up hopes after Aplyc in so called banner and joined up to be Signum Fidei which was pretty cool. And I don’t know what happened but the final reflection session turned to like an affirmation one where everyone started hugging and singing songs and going crazy inside the heritage hall.Yeap it was fun alright.

The final day of activities, though we were suppose to go shopping, the OT’s ended up doing sai kang work.Well since we are all experienced Sai Kang warriors, the work intended to end at 3 ended at 11.30 hah! What we had to do was to change the hall into a ballroom kinda setting for the farewell dinner that night.And the lump which I received 2 days back finally became a bruise like super red one! Had lunch at Kallang KFC where Ben sang the lajuli in the playground!Can check the video in youtube and its really hilarious.Went back to take our deserved nap,woke up took a shower and got ready for the big party!Im telling you that night,everyone just had the weirdest fashion sense, the people from my bunk mostly wore long sleeve with a tie but with shorts and sandals. The Hongky actually wore st pats pe shirt with a tie!The dinner was quite nice,buffet food with delicious variety!We sang lasallian songs and the theme song and well we thought it was over cause it was pretty late until!The DJ announced the party had just begun and damn it did.All the crazy songs started playing and all of us,delegates and OT got like crazy and really showed off their dancing skills.Unfortunately I cant really dance so I just stood one side and watched…NOT!!It was crazy really,I actually had the chance to show off a bit of my moves though I think people find it weird?People who read this and were there please comment,all I know is Kenneth was following my dance moves!Ok even danced like the tango with Ando and ballroom dancing with Amelia or She Man!Though I have to say she did dance quite well and I was like the one following the steps :p.The day ended with everyone in high spirits.But we still had to do sai kang work after that.

Last day was really sad,people saying good bye and probably not get the chance to meet them again and stuff like that.Went back halfway through the debrief cause I hitched a ride from my Godbro,Chris to go home,wash my clothes and pack my stuff for the next day. Watched Golden compass that night though I should have went back to school cause they were showing the heritage play video.Slept at midnight…

Woke up at noon!Cant believe I missed both masses in the morning..oh well and I got the shock of my life cause I only had 3 hours left before I leave to the airport.Well packed my stuff and left…early..the sky was dark and I thought it would rain.Ms P told me of a poem writing competition,theme is spice of life and I think I’m gonna participate in it.The flight was nice cause it was Exec Economy instead of the normal one so it was pretty spacious.Arrived and went straight to Aunt’s bday. Met my cousins from the states after a year and well Sung’s motto is EAT!

Yesterday, dad’s bday.But still had to go to the factory in the morning to work.It was supposed to be a surprise party for dad and did he really get surprised!Haha should see the shock on his face when we reached Tony Romas.What was funny though was mom asked our driver to go home,so did sis asked hers to go home as well.So we were like stuck and had to wait for mom and dad to pick us up!Food was great,ambience as well and we all had fun.Got dad and E51 though im not too sure he likes it or not.Got my Ipod from sis for my present as well.

Hehe I think this is getting really long cause according to Micro Word,its already 4 pages long with a font of 12 and its close to 2 thousand words!I shall end this off with APLYC WAS A BLAST!I really wanna thank everyone, and my delegates for being so damn nice to me!I wish we could all one day meet up again :p,will miss you all.Oh yea another notable thing I forgot to mention is I finally received a TOEFL score of 620/677!Whee which means I can go to any Uni I want!Just have to do well for my SATs now..signing off!!

2007-10-26T22:06:00.000+08:00

Yes the O's have come and my brains probably almost dead if i know it is due to the extensive amount of studying.If you think you're like dreaming cause of the previous sentence,slap yourself ten times and burn your fingers in the frying pan and see whether you're really reading this or not.Since studying is a word not for the faint hearted lets put it in a much more simplified term as mugging.If its still too much for you to handle!Fine i read the little words found in my guidebook,happy?Haha yea i think too much studying has made me hyper,really hyper.

Well 3 paper down so far,science prac,chem and history down!Lets just say theyre below our school standard obviously Duh.But careless mistakes here and there really makes it really risky and puts our A's on the line.Well all i know is im aiming for below 10 cause Senior Pat,here i come!!!I can relax abit for the weekend cause the next 3 days are languages and maths,followed by physics on friday.Lets see,all A for these papers?DEFINITELY!Make no mistake i can and will do it!So yeap,better not waste so much time online then hehe,signing off :p!

Oh my gosh!O levels is in like 4 days!?Well the weeks been kinda sad..last week of school.And the records been broken again,lowest number of people in class-14!But seriously,it really is a conducive environment where we can learn.Not only that but we sort of became emotional during class times cause its out last lessons with that teacher,specially mrs ong!*sigh*,hehe but we did have some fun with other teachers like mr chng,teaching us how to cheat during our pracs,mrs er showing us "the secret" and showing us our testimonails and damn i sure like it!mr gills praising our class for the first time!Plus Chinese period..the whole corridor was empty cause so many people skipped the lesson!And of course,we received our cca cert and prelim result.Had lunch with mark and co on friday and gosh it was funny,and yeap my family came here!Had Toefl yesterday and gosh it gets tougher each time.Played soccer with bro and scraped my right knee,so if you look at it closely it looks like a love bite,a very big one,like someone with big lips sucking my knee or something?Haha,then watched resident evil,i give it a 3.5/5,great moves and usual scares but the ending again..letdown.Then had dinner at Waraku at central and damn we sure can eat a lot!Well today was stale,church,tuition,then chilled with my sis and bro and dinner.So thats about it..i cant remember much as usual.So i guess i better mug the rest of my time!I want 7 A1's!I CAN DO IT!!!so signing off :p

2007-10-07T20:10:00.000+08:00

One word to describe my week:SICK! Well other than that,only a few fun stuff happened. Class broke the record again having only 18 people in class!A few more to go before we really are in for it.Cause seriously having a small class is much better cause we can learn more.And then wednesday morning we got screwed once again by mr lak,thankfully this time we were able to go back to class cause some fools finally fessed up what they did the day before.One thing i cant believe..Milan lost to Celtic..Damn!!Then cam whoring on thursday with our fave teachers,mrs ong,ms quek and mr gills.Super cam whoring with mrs ong haha what can i say we love her!Took almost the whole of recess period taking pics with her haha.Then mr chang gave me the biggest surprise of my life.He was like "Michael,can you get below 10 points for O's?" There i was wonering why he would ask this question and finally after thinking and clarifying with him i still got the shock.If you didnt know,the honour of receiving the Senior Patrician of the Year will only accept nominations to those who scored below 10 points.Will i be able to do it?Maybe,depends on how crazy i mug within the last 2 weeks then.

Had my SAT's yesterday,which meant that i couldnt go for the meeting for APLYC.But damn!i had to write an expositionary essay in 20 mins,plus the unfair part was there were 7 sections of english and almost all the sections had compre,only 3 maths section!And amazingly i found the maths much easier then english,but oh well we'll see the score,still have my toefls next week..*sigh*.Well sent my my whole family cept my mom off today,going to bangkok for a business trip an coming back next week so i better chalk up most of my study time within this week to enjoy the benefits of having fun with my other siblings!Well other than that..i hope those people who went for LLTC B had fun :p.Signing off :p!

Childrens day

2007-09-30T20:29:00.001+08:00

Tomorrow's childrens day but too bad!We aint kids no more,which means..schools as per normal...*sigh* i miss those days where schools half day and we have parties and teachers give presents to us.Soooo primary school!!Haha well todays rather simple..church,tuition,study.Study so much till i fell asleep reading the unseen text lol,or i think its just lack of sleep and improper meals.Hey what can you expect when im cooking myself and the fridge is like almost empty!So all i had was instant noodles and thats what i had for dinner and crap burnt my index.Now you know how "inexperienced" i am at cooking,too long without cooking and your skills get rusty.Oh well at least my stomachs pretty full now :p,so yeah thats about it.And since my post is so short,here's a poem i got from my text:

First Love

I ne'er was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet.
Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower
And stole my heart away complete.
My face turned pale as deadly pale,
My legs refused to walk away.
And when she looked 'what could i ail?'
My life and all seemed turned to clay.

And then my blood rushed to my face
And took my sight away.
The trees and bushes round the place
Seemed midnight and noonday.
I could not see a single thing,
Words from my eyes did start;
They spoke as chords do from the string
And blood burnt round my heart.

Are flowers the winter's choice?
Is love's bed always snow?
She seemed to hear my silent voice
And love's appeal to know.
I never saw so sweet a face
As that i stood before:
My heart has left its dwelling place
And can return no more.

Nice?Very,haha i wish i could say such words to the girl i have in mind.But im just too shy!So i'll leave it at that for the moment haha so signing off :p

Record Breakers

2007-09-29T21:04:00.001+08:00

Thats what 4e4 is good at,breaking records..but in a bad way unfortunately!Well well well the weeks been really busy and tiring..revising like theres no tomorrow!Well i should be doing that cause O's are less than 3 weeks time!!Other than revising..lets see what else did i remember..oh yeah on tuesday wow really funny. Dnt period, everyone was like pissing mdm pang off,like at 1 pm sharp everyone dropped their pencil followed up by singing off lullaby songs at 1.05 and acting like an Indian at 1.10.So one word to put that lesson-CHAOS!And i became the punching bag in the class i have no idea why,was punched for a continuous 4 periods,breaking my record of 1,which meant that i was jabbed for 1 hour and 20 mins.And now i can just admire the numerous number of bruise on both my arms..LOL!Wednesday was the first time we broke the record for attendance which was 25,and believe me it was rather peaceful.Then on Thursday we broke the record again!Only 22 people came for class.I have to say its pretty cosy having such a small class at least we can learn a bit heh.Then after recess was the killer.E3,4,5 were called to the LT for a talk by mr lak.Waaaayyyy embarassing well in most peolpes cases at least.He showed individual results to the whole group disgracing each one of us in front of the rest.Thank goodness im still above average amongst the group heh so when it was my turn,it was short and sweet :p.Yesterday had lunch with Mark and Co. at Long Johns,really funny!Of course when you eat you have to talk so we first started with MM lee and continued to more and more irrelevent topics until we finally ended up talking about Gay sex!I have no idea how it ended up there but damn i sure laughed a lot!Then went to the airport with Joe and Tarci to send my mom off to Indo so you should know what that means..Im home alone...AGAIN!Yeap well at least i can still be disciplined enough to study and not only play play play lol!And well on the way back Tarci came up with an interesting topic actually.

What do you think of Singapores education system.Well in my opinion,Singapore has been under a KBE system for close to 2 decades or 3 maybe,since the only resource we have is people,making education strict and kept under tight control is actually quite reasonable.Though i do think that the banding system isnt really fair to all students,example would be those who do well in maths and science in sec 2 are eligible to take triple double combi,however that doesnt mean that those who just missed the requirement mark are not able to cope with it.It is quite biased somehow as only the "best" can take it,but maybe even those who werent able to to take the combi can be better.Like how they band people into EM3 or NA or NT,its not because they are stupid,its because they are nurtured wrongly.If a hundred students are in the same class and they give the same amount of determination and commitment,then its quite impossible for them to have 25-30 of it fail.The numbers can even be much less, maybe even 0.Its all about how they are taught and if they are willing to learn.A good example would be my brother,he dropped out of uni cause he was sick of it,but in the end he's studying for his masters now.So if one really want to learn then only he can achieve.Remember that no one is born stupid,everyone is equal.Just the way they are brought up,their background and beliefs change it.So yeah thats my view of education though i think i really went out of point heh.Oh crap i think i just got food poisoning for trying to cook my own food!Ack signing off!:p

Stressed Up?Hmm Nahhh

2007-09-22T20:29:00.001+08:00

Thats what both doctors asked me when i went to see them.One for my throat which swelled up over the weekend i have no idea why,the other for my increasing number of pimples haha.Dont think me of vain cause i was forced to see the doctor by my mom...though it did become really amusing actually.Though the medicine really was a killer,lets see..i had to gargle iodine solution and that made me go green for a while,metaphorically and lots more.But seriously when the docs asked if i was stressed up due to the upcoming O's my mom just laughed.Ok i laughed too!If you know me well,im sure youve never seen me stressed up before,even then i dont look like i do right?:p unfortunately maybe thats why my prelim results arent that good either.lets just say its not too bad but not too good as well,an improvement from my mid years but i can go nowhere with my L1r5,so take a guess!Hmm what else happened this week...well all i know if i laughed a lot,really laughing till i roll on the floor or something like that haha.Ok i remember,wednesday for mrs er period we had a talk by this guy mr barton or something like that,my gosh!First thing i thought was OH MY GOSH!Arsene Wenger is in st pats!Seriously,the guy looked like Arsenal's manager.But his talk in my opinion was really very funny,so thats like the best english lesson i had this year,unfortunately from an outside speaker and not the teachers themselves since e4 had a lot of english teachers..like lets see 6 in 2 years?Haha as much as our form teachers as well.

Thursday was weirder,both science teacher wasnt in school so that means 7 free periods total.Though during that time the relief teacher which was an ex patrician was super cool,told us bout all the stuff you know haha,well what can you expect from someone who studies law.And a more major news!Jose Mourinho left Chelsea!No offence for chelsea fans but you guys wont survive without him.Thank goodness im a Milan supporter hehe and did anyone see the Pirlo free kick against Benfica?Real Beauty.Friday wasnt too bad as well,watched a bit of dead poets society for lit then had another talk by Dr William Tan,the athlete on wheelchair.He really is inspirational if you listen to his life storey and how he never gave up.Oh well the rest of the week was like practically revision time so thats about it i think.So signing off :p!

2007-09-16T21:05:00.000+08:00

Well well well,tomorrows the start of a new week again.Most probably going to find out my prelim marks which i hopefully are good!So wish me the best of luck for that haha,but then again one must first help himself before others can help him so yea just a saying.All i know right now is my sore throat is killing me...been 4 days and it hasnt recover yet,cant even sleep so it should prbably explain the eye bags i have!Plus!Had a haircut this morning and my gosh!!Its a disaster,well its almost a perfect cut but the auntie again!!cut the centre a bit deeper than the other sides so i have a like a hole in the middle like an old man balding...oh well gotta wait till like another 3 weeks before i cut my hair again.Hmm im like runing out of stuff to write lol,anyone can give me any idea of what to write about next time i post?Thanks and signing off!:p

Oh well maybe because im pretty sure i most likely screw up my exams which i really hopefully didnt.The last few papers can be considered not as hard as the rest but got a few of the results back and damn..it was really disappointing.Ok anyways just to highlight certain events for the past week cause i havent been on for you know what reasons haha.Actually the most notable day would be Wednesday..umm the day which the 9/11 actually occured in Asia..Let us offer our prayers to those who fell victims to the works of evil...
Well..wednesday was notable cause first,exam was only an hour,first time i actually went to the library to do something and of course the lunch which was about to come haha.Seoul Garden buffet where the 5 of us actually spent almost 3 hours sitting,eating and completely joking around!And maybe thats the reason why i fell pretty sick after that..Oh well bought a book at Kino and really engrossed with it.LOL!Yes if you thought your dreaming go pinch yourself cause your not!Lemme repeat this..I AM REALLY ENGROSSED WITH A BOOK!Surprising isnt it?Well lets just say the book is of really interesting content,with amazing plots and characters worthy of my praise.Haha ok i shall not get carried away and trying to continue to critique the book.Well thats that,hope i can finish it by the weekend..practically less than 100 pages left to go!Haha so signing off!:p

In case you were wondering what book i am currently reading..here's a quote from it:
"Poetry is the food for love"
GOOD LUCK GUESSING!Hahaha

Well i sure had fun

2007-09-03T21:19:00.002+08:00

Haha well yeap i had a really fun day today.Couldnt sleep well last night so i did have a back ache heh.Oh well anyways went out with this really special person today whom i shall not name and its only for me to know and you to find out!!LOL!Had lunch at a resto(i kinda forgot the name)where i chose another weird stuff called beef daube,well it didnt taste too bad just that theres too much of mash potatos till i think im practically only eatin potatoes haha.Had a nice long conversation with the really special person considering that we had like 3 hours to spare before the movie starts!Hehe well ok you cant really expect 2 people just sitting down and talking for 3 hours straight right...though there are people like that hmmm,so yea we walked around till i think we actually familiarise the place!Well what can i say,too much time to kill haha.Well we did have a pit stop at Kino where we did see like the most weirdest titles a book can have like lets see "The couple diet?:Cheat on your husband and not your food?" or something like that heh.Then finally!After we got a bit bored of we went across the road to Paragon!Gosh seriously Orchard is some kind of food paradise or something cause every corner we turn to theres food!!Tempting..but cant eat anymore!Haha then we found out that theres like Kids shop and toys shop there and you should know what happened next..No we did not buy any toys!We just took a quick browsing hehe,if only i was like maybe 8 years younger than probably i consider that place heaven but too bad my kiddiness has gone..

Finally when we were close to finishing up our 3 hours,we decided to walk back to Lido hah!and guess what..we still had time..so we found a seat and talked again,well if there wasnt the big screen showing the trailers and somewhat distracting me i would probably talk much more sense!Ok then the time was up!Phew well we wanted to buy a large popcorn but damn!The size of it gave not only me a shock!So we ended up buying a medium sized one though it was still really huge and we didnt manage to finish it as well.The movie we watched?Hmm im sure you should have guessed it,since there are like only a few nice movies screening this week.Yeap the movie was ratatouille.I can only say the rat remy was so damn cute!Other than mickey mouse i dont think ive called any other rat cute.And the story was nice really,for a cartoon it sure did show a mizture of comedy and suspense plus a bit of romance too hehe quite a few kissing scenes lol.So i'll give it like umm 4.75/5?Haha really good so you should watch it!The only bad part of the cinema was it was so damn cold and i hate to like hold my bladder for i think close to an hour.Imagine the rush i had after that!Oh well then walked to the mrt where the really special someone had to leave..wow i really suck at saying goodbyes..hmm gotta improve on that..well all i can say is thanks for accompanying me and haha i sure had fun!And since the weather was so fine i decided to walk home..And bad choice.I finally realized why i couldnt walk normally today haha and guess what i found..i actually strained my muscle like probably yesterday or maybe today and my whole right knee is like bruised up no wonder it hurts!Well studied and then had dinner and studied again..gotta compensate my time you know and well now writing this :p,so signing off!

~Mike

"Hmm i hope there will be another next time.."

2007-09-03T21:19:00.001+08:00

Uhh ok i cant really seem to think of a title heh.Been practically dazing off..dunno why but i miss school..no mr lak scolding us the whole morning and rumours of teachers flying around plus no lame jokes!!MY GOSH WHAT ARE THE HOLIDAYS COMING TO!Well at least one things for sure,i have more time for exercising.Yeap went to the gym yesterday and kicked some balls today.If you sick people think i really did kick some guys ball your so damn wrong!Went to play soccer la lol,amazingly i made some new friends in the field next to the park wow what more coincidential is theyre indons as well lol.And of course when i play a sport i always come back with bruises everywhere,not surprising hehe luckily i didnt break any bones though i did feel a lose bone tingling somewhere in my ankle.
One more thing ive been doing the past few days is studying!can you believe that haha.And another very important issue would be im staying in singapore for another year!!WHEEE!Change of plans thanks to my brilliant idea of attending a community college here instead which the credits can be transferred to the U's in the US of A.Haha so yeap,signing off :p!

Beginning of a tortuous week

2007-09-03T21:19:00.000+08:00

Umm first of all is that how you spell torturous?Lol anyway haha weekend was extraordinarily slack!Went to SJI in the morning to study with marcus then joined in a bit for the lltc b ot retreat hehe,i dont think anyone used my games though..Oh well didnt stay quite long though i should have,anything for a free meal and free lodging!But i chose to watch evan almighty instead well the movie wasnt really as funny as i thought but lets just give it 3 stars out of 5.

Yesterday was even more slack.Had tuition and then went to clarke quay for Alextine's farewell party and he's leaving like 11 pm tonight.Ate at Brewerkz,Lamb Shank=Yummy.Hehe then went to central where we had our dessert.UNFORTUNATELY!People you forgot to pay for the tax!!Consider you guys lucky to have a good friend like me lol.Walked home and slept!

Had Lit remedial today and wow it was not so bad.At least i can still manage to stay awake and go through the lesson.Took down usefull notes though i have no idea but everyone has different kinds of perspectives,totally diferent ideas concerning the characters inside the stories.Then it rained..drenched me but its good to be "washed" once in a while :p.Went to the airport to pick mom and dad ate ban mian and thats about all.Hopefully the week doesnt get any worse!Signing off :p

WHEE HOLIDAYS!!

2007-08-25T17:51:00.004+08:00

Finally the time when a person whos having exams is waiting for..TERM BREAK!!Well not exactly since i still have prelims after school reopens..but who cares,means more time for me to study hah!Well the week been really busy since theres papers every single day!Yeap so 4 hours of studying every single day,well the least!But since the week has been relativly boring and extremely crazily tiring then i dont really have much to write again..

Monday-HORRIBLE!My mind went blank during the ss paper and i couldnt think about the SEQ at all!Maths paper 1 was a relief cause it was sort of easy dont know why.

Tuesday-Easy,well cant really say much for chinese right :p

Wednesday-Very easy..i have no idea why but when mrs ong said that the maths prelim will be a killer i took her word for word but hmm somehow the second paper was sort of really easy as well,maybe cause practice makes perfect eh haha.

Thursday-EXCELLENT!History was a piece of cake though i made one big blunder and it was SEQ again..i couldve chosen Japan cause mr gills went through the question already and i was so totally blur i chose Germany instead which i think i screwed up a bit..Lets hope i get at least 30 marks!Physics was amazingly easy as well.For the first time i could answer 95% of the paper though being complacent i made an error again which is forgetting to change the answer to SI units..

Today-TEACHERS DAY CELEBRATION!Super fun,and mom and dad flew to Taiwan this morning so that makes me home alone again..The activities today was great in school though a few screw ups here and there cause of poor planning i have to say..And whats sad was Mdm chia and ms tan are leaving the school..Well good luck to whatever you do and good luck to np man,cause you guys have to count on mr lim again lol!Well then had lunch in an indian restaurant where we had lots and lots and lots of NAN!lol!Well lets say me,mark,ryan,marcus and chris had like 14 of em each!Imagine the guy serving is like again?ok :p.And there was the cockroach alert which made me jump like crap!Well i may be a big guy but i have traumatic experiences with a cockroach so you know what i mean lol!Well thanks ms P for the wonderful and filling lunch!Went back to St Mikes after that or SJI Junior,meet a few teachers and damn when the school was having their performances this guy named Dexter just grooved to the beat haha.Well lets call him Dancing Dexter.Played a bit of soccer and then went home.So i guess thats all for today haha,tomorrow?Well lets just put it as a surprise for anyone who wanna know :p,signing off!!

~Mike

To all those blessed people who were given the gift to educate people like us,a big happy teachers day to you all and continue the blessed works you are doing!

The past week?

2007-08-25T17:51:00.001+08:00

Haha yeap so i guess this should be the post of the week...uhh though i dont think i remember much since a lot of things happened..seriously hah!

Monday was English Prelims well have to say it was rather easy..had Katong Laksa after that!Delicious!Tuesday to Thursday umm..normal school stuff which i totally forgot what i did,i think mostly revisions hehe I THINK!What to do..Prelims..must work triply hard!Friday was Chem and Lit,so you should know how much stuff i had to memorize within such short period of time.The whole Chem textbook and all the poems that might come out and managed to do that within a few hours though seriously dont do it my way cause i dont think i can do well for my chem though lit wasnt that hard as well.So i guess i have to memorize my physics well to save my science.Revised on my ss and maths today hopefully i'll do well!!Just watched Hairspray and i have to say its a very good movie.Even my mom said so.Lets just give it umm a 4.5/5?Haha good music good coreography and good story what else can i say?Haha oh well thats all for this week,Teachers day coming,gotta get the presents ready haha!Signing off :p

~Mike

"Yumm I never knew Laksa tasted this nice"

2007-08-25T17:51:00.000+08:00

Phew havent posted for almost a week,but i'll come to that probably later tonight cause first things first!Challenged Cheryl for poem writing and heres mine!!Haha a bit late but enjoy!

A storyteller in her book

Flipping through the pages,
it eventually became really contagious,
Judging from the book,
dust covering its supposedly beautiful look,
Filled with words in these yellow page,
you can tell how much it has age

I dawned on one particular note,
it was one that i am sure i wrote,
I stood really still,as it gave me a chill,
It was about you and I when we were still together,
i know you will surely remember,
Sometime in the month of November,
where for you my heart i surrender

Was warm and sweet,
when we tinggled our feet,
It felt so right and perfect,
theres not even a need for us to reflect

But one day you just had to leave,
leaving behind a person with much grieve,
The last bouquet of roses you gave,
still pricks me till date,
How i wish it can be easily forgotten,
especially something so solemn

Sadly nothing can be rewritten,
in this book,
My sad love story,
in my own biography..

Prelims are coming!!

2007-08-19T21:10:00.000+08:00

OH MY GOSH!ITS TOMORROW!What am i doing online!?Haha means im very prepared :p

Anyways dad came to singapore and went to watch Rush Hour 3 yesterday,was pretty good though the plot of the story really was crappy.So lets rate the show..Action-4/5,Story-2/5,Comedy-5/5,girls-4/5,Jackie and Chris Factor 5/5!Haha alright then today was really the usual though everything was flying in the house cause of the rain.Gotta really buy more paper holders or stones in that matter.Been studying like mad and that should explain why im well prepared haha.Ok somehow i just realised that it gets really boring if i blog about me everysingle day so lets come up with a topic.Ok since i have none can anyone tag on my board what i should write on?Or probably give an opinion or criticize at that matter?Heh oh well signing off :p!

~Mike

WISH ME LUCK FOR MY PRELIMS!

Time passes as the cloud rises
Heat from the sun forbidding any fun
Studying is only part of a new start
While exams shows how much we study while having lunch

English Oral

2007-08-08T22:12:00.004+08:00

Once again the title says it all..

Yesterday:
No not the day i took my oral but it was one heck of a day lol!Chem prac rocked,with mathan spraying distilled water at mr chng haha that was ironic.Physics wasnt that bad either,considering that mr Tan=super gossiper and you know what i mean right.SS was interesting since we finally finished all the skills lets just hope i remember them and put them to good use for the exam next week.Then as usual Chinese was total slack time..though retaking means that we have to continue studying..again!History GCP was sort of fun actually,did mindmaps and showed how empty our brains were concerning the stuff in the book.

Today:
Was the most slackiest day of the week!English was like a waste of time cause ms Quek asked us to revise our own work,chem only did the mcq part and lit was another surprise test.Wow been gettign a lot of surprise tests lately.Then had physics GCP where we gossiped again!Haha before half the class went for our orals.Wow seriously it was very nerve wrecking.We managed to do sign lagnuages to sort of hint a bit of whats it about.Hehe code:if it was easy,pull the tie down,if hard,tighten it.Amazingly all pulled their tie down!Good sign?Maybe cause i was like talking crap when it reached my turn.And whats worse then getting 2 indian guys as your invigilator.. hmm haha reading was piece of cake,picture was a bit irritating and i crapped so much that they had to ask " Do you still have anything to say?"at least 3 more times.Yeap conversationg wasnt that bad either,told the truth and lied a bit.Hopefully i can get at LEAST! 30 marks for it.and that should be about it i think,so signing off :p

"The place looks safer,at least if the child falls.he wont die or get injured badly like if he fell from the 25th storey or something"..major mistake i made!
