Plagiarising Badly = Stupidity

Not yet 12 years of age and already plagiarizing.
Kids nowadays... getting smarter but not smart enough.
If they were really smart their little act of dishonesty would have passed the inspection of two eagle eyed parents.
They should have picked someone less well known. So here's my guide to plagiarizing.
1) Google your question
2) Pick a random answer
3) Change the title and change 100 words.
4) Tell nobody
5) Be consistent! Plagiarize once, plagiarize all the time.

Please do the above if you would like to get expelled from school and throw your future away.

After a long Hiatus

2009-02-02T01:13:00.000-08:00

So it has been really long since i blog and i apologize as the past week had been really busy with bdaes, visiting and most importantly One Too Many's first gig. I shall just give a brief overview of all the happenings.

26/01/09

As i do not celebrate chinese new year, i really got nothing to do during the CNY holidays and all the shops are closed! Thats the worst damn thing, so luckily, all the eurasian dudes and indians also gathered at Alex's dragons house on the 1st day of chinese new year. So yea, we had an enjoyable time there, and also Nizzar came down with CJ and we drove arnd, it was awesome, 2 lancers and one RX-7 speeding across ECP. This is one of the better new years day.

27/01/09

Initially suppose to have a couple of beers with the muslim dudes and sean but they all couldnt make it, so i spend the day with The Hendricks at East coast Beach. It was an awesome picnic, alex was also there. Lasted all the way, to night then fel came to pick me up. We found that Alex dragon knows Charles and Rafael and so does kevin and Martin. Yea, it is a small world la.

28/01/09

Had Psychology presentation today, only our group was ready, so that was awesome. I felt i presented real well, and also the questions they shot was answered primarily by me till the teacher asked me to let my team mates speak but still they couldnt come up with suitable answers. Oh well, after that left for Jamming the second last one before the Ultrasound Gig! It was damn good, they were all damn prepared for the gig. I was extremely happy!

29/01/09

Had Principles Of Management presentation today, it was damn impromptu. We had a whole role play which we came up on the spot. Like literally no preparation at all but it was damn awesome i tell you! I like this project group, all the last minute people! Thanks Boo, Edmund, Sean, Serena and Yan Yang! Met shaik directly after that for guitar heroes at City hall!

30/01/09

I was suppose to go for class in the morning followed by visiting of classmates house in the late morning all the way to night. But in the end i just went straight for visiting, it was nice of the class to invite me along even thought i do not celebrate CNY. First went to jasmin's house, had lunch and gambled all the way till like 6pm then boo and i left to get beers and go over to his place for steamboat. I just found out that there is a Big bottle of Hoegarden beer. Haha. So the rest reached Boo's place at abt 8 plus had dinner. Then i left for Shafiqs party.
It was gd, caught up with alot of old school mates. Oh ya! Omar also came, cause he recently met shafiq at a party. Was fucking nice to see him again since the onan road party. Stayed all the way till 6 am before leaving with sean.

31/01/09

Saturday afternoons were spent quietly and at home as usual, recovering from usual Friday night intoxications. Stayed at home all the way till evening then met shaik wailong and Sean at siglap starbucks. Then fel called and said she was coming too. So yea she arrived with the standard "im stressed so don disturb me or i will kill you" face. But after a while she was ok, cause I was there wad! Haha=) Left with her at abt 10 to go to Lisa's house to collect some stuff. After that, went back home at abt 12 something.

1/02/09

Time is on the F16 again and it is already fucking February! Also the time has come where all the hard work of the band pays off and it is One Too Many's first gig! Morning i went church with fel, had lunch and spend some time with her playing STRESS! Ironic isnt it. haha! Anyway, after that i left for city hall to meet the band. A few of the supporters were there with them, had lunch then we left for Arts House. I was really busy and irritated with all the admin and financial stuff i had to do for the band cause alot of the supporters came very late. But in the end it turned out fucking gd! 95% of the arts house was our people. My Cousin Kim was also there! Oh yea, if you happen to see this sorry i didnt have time to talk to you i was really busy doing alot of stuff for the band. The gig was also awesome, i had fun moshing and going crazy. Ridwan and Khairul said the band was damn good and couldnt believe it was their first gig. haha. Left for serangoon gardens after that. Had drinks and alex and I WALKED HOME from there! I am not kidding! But really, everything else aside, i am very extremely proud to be their manager!

THIS WAS ONLY THE REALLY CLOSE PEOPLE AND IT ONLY MAKES UP QUARTER OF THE SUPPORTERS THAT CAME! LOVE YOU GUYS MAN!

What life is made up of

2009-01-25T09:46:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I do not know why but I just feel like sharing my idea of what life is made up of. Please spend some time to comment and tell me if you guys agree.

To me, life is made up of five things. YES, just 5 things. I feel if you have all these 5 aspects, your life is settled, you should be living a good life and you should feel really grateful and thankful for the things that you have. So what are these 5 things? Well they are, in order of importance,

-Love
-Family & Friends
-Religion
-Money
-Status

Do you agree?

So let me elaborate more on each of these different aspects.

Love
Instantly, the first thing that is coming to your mind right now is finding your spouse or if at a younger age getting a girlfriend. Well yes, that is what love is, but that is only part of it. To me, the more important part of Love is the love for other people around you, your friends, family, the needy or anybody actually. My closer friends will know that I find that very important, though I don't seem to love and care much about others. I actually do.

So yea, that is the most important thing in the world for me, cause if there come a day where your family does not want you anymore, you have no friends, no more money, you fail in your career but you still are a good person, I still feel you are living an alright life. Not fantastic but still good enough.

You guys may ask, but what for? My life is already screwed, doing good deeds is not going to get me money or buy me a status somewhere. Let me tell you what for, NOTHING, absolutely nothing. You are just doing it because it is the right thing to do. That is also another reason why Love is right on top of my list, because it is the hardest to have. It is easier to find the love of your life but that is only one part. This other, more important part of love is much more difficult to find as it takes a lot of self-sacrificing and that is something very rare in our modern day life.

Family & Friends
Why is family & friends second on the list? Wait, family does not necessarily mean your biological parents, because some parents give their child up for adoption and all that other complicated situations. So yea, family is the people or person who raised you when you were young.

I know, most of the children, youths and even adults nowadays feel they are very independent and they feel like, I can live on my own and they feel like they were the ones who were responsible for all their achievements in their life. Well yes you might be responsible for most of it, but there was a time where your family played a part and without that, you are nothing. Your success and everything that you have, is not entirely YOURS.

You might say, but no what, my family every time very busy, they never cared for me much. From a young age I took care of myself! If you tell me that, I will post this question to you "Are you trying to tell me the day you were born, you got up, walked and went to find your own food and all other necessities of life?" If you did, call me up right now and tell me. This is therefore, what a bunch of people who couldn’t do enough on their own and had to take credit for someone else’s work came up with. Yea, you may have taken care of yourself from young. But if your family did not give you the basic needs for first few years of your life you wouldn't have lived long enough to take care of yourself. SO you owe that much to your family.

This is one aspect I am sure many of you will agree. Friends are something very important in our life as youths. Why? Because our parents may not understand us as well as our friends do due to reasons such as age gap, different morals etc. But how many of us can say we have real friends? I know tons of people who seem to have millions of friends. Everywhere they go, they seem to bump into people and they seem to be so popular. But I have seen these same people panic and shiver when they are in trouble because they couldn’t get help from a single one of this truckload of friends. Why? Simply because they are only there in good times. These are not friends, they are acquaintances. Friends are also not the people who are always free to go out with you anytime you want. They are also not the ones who spend the most money on you. What I feel makes a real friend, is one who you can not meet for a long time and when you do meet that person, it is like you just met him/her yesterday. This shows trust, because you can readily tell the person you latest secrets with no fear or worry that it will ever be out. Basically what I am trying to say is that a real friend to me, cannot be measured by physical means instead it is a feeling that you have that just allows you to know that, this particular person is a real friend.

Religion
Well, a lot of people, both youths and adults alike pay little attention to this aspect. A lot of people do not even believe that there is a god, well that is absolute rubbish. There definitely is a God, maybe not how we perceive him to be but God definitely exists. I myself am a Roman Catholic, although I might skip Church every now and then but well the main thing is that I do believe in my religion with no doubts and I am not in it just because I was born into a catholic family.

My family can be considered one of the few more devoted Catholics. My parents and grandparents will never ever skip a single session of mass or at least not for the past 19 years of my life. Even when we go on holidays, my dad will ensure he finds a church if the vacation were to stretch across the weekend. They pray on a daily basis, and they take the church teachings very seriously. I must say, church has taught me a lot of values too, much more than any government school education will ever teach me. Yes, I may not display it but it is in me somewhere, my closer friends will know and this might surprise you but I do pray regularly, more often than not in times of need but there are times where I just pray for other people.

Now people will start telling me there that I am wasting my time because there isn’t a God because you cannot see him. But let me ask you this, do you think that for thousands of years, all the millions of accounts that make up the bible are fake? That is your god right there, it is living proof. Plus, the Muslim Religion has the bible called the Quran that is quite similar to ours. How can two totally different religions record similar happenings if it were untrue? There are so many miracles that take place in our lives that is attributed to God but people out there just do not want to believe this fact.

I have a reason for this as well. They just do not want to believe that there is a power higher than science. That’s why they come up with the big bang theory and other myths like that. But there is one miracle in the Catholic religion I heard no theories about and that is because, I think no one can come up with any.

There is this Saint called Bernadette, she passed in 1879 but her body is not even a single bit decomposed till now. You can see if first hand for yourself at Chapel of Saint Bernadette in Nevers, France. Explain that.

Money
It is sad, but yes nowadays money is one of the most important things in our life, not the MOST but yes it is relatively important. The world nowadays is all about money and that is why for one to survive in this world, you do need to have money. It can buy you a lot of things, but not long term happiness.

It is also true that money is the root of all evil, look at our world today, nations are fighting because of money and innocent lives are being destroyed because of money.
Murder, Blackmail, Scams, lies, cheats, backstabbing and actually anything bad there will be some link to money. It just gives people this greed where you want more and more and more till it takes control of you.

Yes, this is the pathetic world we live in where pieces of paper make people think they are happy. Happy are the poor who can fine joy in the simple pleasures of life, for they are the ones who are actually truly happy.

Status
This is linked to money. Yes, once again sad to say, status is important in our lives now. It plays a big part in how people perceive you to be or what people think of you. It is very stupid but that’s the sad truth. Therefore, being a victim of modern day society I have to conform to this rubbish because that is what the world has become.

A simple example, someone introduces himself and says he is the CEO of a big company, instantly what comes to you mind? I bet my life, the same thing that goes through 9/10 peoples minds. That guy is very smart, very rich, has very high qualifications and must also be very hard-working to be where he is today. If given a chance you would want to be like him. Then another man introduces himself, a road sweeper, nothing more. What comes to your mind? This guy must have wasted his life, no qualifications, never study hard and lazy. You rather die than be like him.

That kind of thinking only goes through the minds of the dumbest people and sadly that makes up most of the world. Have you ever thought that the latter just did not have a CHANCE to do what he wanted? So actually, what you are saying is that only people who are lucky enough to have that chance are worthy people. That’s like saying if you have no luck you are useless. Listen to yourselves for once. Isn’t what the majority of you saying just plain stupid? Well you might say that chances can be made, yes that is partly true but some people are just not born with the ability to do so. Therefore, find out more about that person before to stereotype a person just because of his status.
And you know something? I willing to bet everything I have, that 8/10 people of lower status people are better hearted people than those with higher status. Strange isn’t it, but yea its true. A few examples, Jesus Christ, Mother Theresa and Gandhi were all people with no high status in multi million dollar companies, yet there hearts are much richer than the heart of Donald trump, a multi billion dollar man.

So all you people who have read this, these are what I feel, are the pillars of life.
I am also very grateful, that out of these 5 pillars I am blessed with four, an excellent family who really cares for me selflessly and a big group of real and true friends, a good strong religion which I truly believe in, enough money to do anything I need and well status is too young for me to have, but education is the “status” for us younger people and I have that too. Thank you God for these blessings and I never ever feel that my life is bad in anyway, and I really appreciate all these gifts of life that you have given me.

The only thing I am lacking is part of the most important thing, love. I have the love for other people and I also found the person I love, only thing is that person does not feel the same way. It is a very important part of my life but nobody can have the perfect life right? But I thank god that I am close to it.

To that person, come make my life perfect.

I may seem like the most heck care person or the joker of the group everywhere I go, but in actual fact, there are a lot of serious things that go through my head every second. But if I were to talk about this every time you meet me, wouldn’t I be the most boring person? To most of you all I definitely would be. With that I like to thank you all for taking some much time to read this extremely long post. Take care my friends=)

103 Onan Road Riot

2009-01-19T10:55:00.000-08:00

So ok, i was first called in the morning to attend an EP launch for Silhouette and also go for the live and loaded gig. So as the day was still free i decided why not. So went down to scape, live and loaded first at 5pm till 7.30pm. AVA and AstroNinja was great. I bumped into millions of people. The scene fellas la, but then suddenly i saw omar and CJ. Apparently they were there for the gig also.

Then suddenly out of nowhere i see Alston walking into youthpark with 2 friends. I didnt really take notice of them as i was surprise to see him. Then suddenly one of is friend turn to me and said: "hey you are wailongs friend right". Then i realized, that it was Daphane. Ah huh, i knew my contacts in RP will soon find its way round to wailongs friends.

So i went for the EP launch, strangest thing was Liang was no where in sight when FBE was there. Then i saw Caracal perform, they were awesome man. Sean was arnd the corner so he and his friend came to meet me. And not surprisingly his friend knew Erwins friend Amanda.

After everything was over, most of them left but Omar and a couple of his friends together with Kevin and me went for the 103 Onan Road Riot Party. It was at Avery's studio, BIG EAR PRODUCTIONS. Do check that place out. Great Jamming studio. Address 103 Onan Road.

The most awesome fucking party ever. Lets just say Becardi 151 was a killer yea? Met alot of old friends, made a lot of new ones. Standards of a party yea?

Also im really thankful for this guy, Jean Thery. He offered to do the sound for "intoxication" thanks alot really if you happen to see this. Which brings me to my biggest worry. WHAT IF "INTOXICATION" is not as good as Onan Road Riot! Oh man, so people who see this, I go to partys alot, but this is the first time ORGANIZING one so cut me some slack yea?

Lastly, thanks alot Vans for taking care of my camera and also taking the photos throughout the party and Kevin Mark Anthony for taking care of me throughout the party. You both the bomb man! (One Atomic another Nuclear)

The whole of Last week

2009-01-14T05:43:00.000-08:00

Due to my busy schedule, now is the only free time since last week to blog, so yea this is what my week was like..........................................

Monday 5/01/09

It was an awesome day, cause I got the results of one of my most worst subject, Macroecons and i managed to get 82.5/100! A great achievement for me considering microecons was mostly sub-papers for me. It was a maximum shocker for me and my friends! But i am really happy. I must thank stefan for his book 2 days before the exam as without him my book was totally empty and i mean TOTALLY cause i have not gone for any lectures for any subject since after the first few weeks of school in sem 1. So yea, Thanks Stefan. Also i must thank God for this=)

Thats how proud i am of myself=) Well done Lester!

Tuesday 06/1/09

This day, is history is the making. Why? Let me tell you.
So ok, after class we decided to have lunch at design canteen. While waiting for my food, i suddenly started thinking of the party i had during christmas and that it was only for my church friends. (One Too Many & Groupies) So i decided to throw a huge ass party, and who better to be with me when i have this crazy ideas but Boo Guan Zhi. I was thinking huge ass bungalow, loud ear deafening music and drinks that will make you forget that you went for a party! So right there and then, i decided to mass msg my contacts and see wad date is suitable and Boo did the same. We came up with 27th Feb as the best date plus it is the start of our holidays! Being me i needed to have everything done proper so right after that i went down to the chalet and booked the thing. The rate was not that good but who cares! As long as the party is going to be awesome and it is! After thinking during class Boo and I decided the party shld be named "INTOXICATION". Boo and I have decided it shld become an annual FESTIVAL! So yea, cant wait for it man!

Wednesday 7/1/09

Today was our band's first jamming session after I got the gig at Arts house! We had our 2 hr session at Four Tones. The place was rather difficult to find and so yea we were extremely late! After that, we went to maxwell food centre for dinner and that was about it! It was an awesome day though, spend with all of them! So yea if you do see this, come down for the gig at arts house on 1st of Feb 09. We are called "One Too Many" Tickets at $12, can get from me!

Thurday 8/1/09

So, fel and i had arranged to meet for dinner and movie. Then, also i made arrangements to meet sean and all for dinner. So in the end we cut of all the rest of the fellas and only Sean, fel and I went for dinner. After much consideration, we decided on Botak Jones. In all my life i have heard wonders of this food outlet but have never tried!

So we had our dinner, the food was awesome i tell u, then after that we decided to go to the Blue Oasis Bar near our house for drinks. Although it is damn near all our house, we never patronize there before.

We soon realize the beauty of the place, cozy and comfortable, drinks were great and an added advantage, super near our home. Looks like we gonna be there more often yea guys? Love you two fuckers! haha!

Friday 9/1/09

In the afternoon, i met sean and shaik to go play Guitar Heroes at E2max! It was awesome i tell you! So at first the equipment was screwed up but i managed to get the lady to give us extra time for all the time we loss! Wonderful. We played some really difficult songs including Through the Fire and Flames. It was damn fun la. So after that, shaik had to go home early as usual! So we left at arnd 7pm.

So i decided to go straight to Yishun for Patricia's "Parents not at home" party! It was a great party, although for some reason we had many bottles of only Jim Beam and no other Whisky and oh we had Midouri also, it is an awesome Spirit i must say. Met alot of new people, Debby and friends! They were drunk as fuck after a while, the night was superb with the usual circle of deaths till most people died. Left for home at 7am! overall a spectacular day!

Saturday 10/1/09

This day was spend at home during the day, was really tired from all the activies the past few days! But by evening, i was hyped up again so yea, last min decided to catch a late night movie with Faizal and Omar at Cineleisure. In the end, omar invited us to join his group of friends for sheesha and drinks at Sahara but in the end we decided to pass so yea it was zal and i only. Caught IP Man. The fella is too good to be true i tell you! After movie, caught night rider right back to my door step. A rather quiet day=)

Sunday 11/1/09

Woke up in the late morning, then had to leave after a while for the gig at Singapore Arts Museum! So yea, I reached there and was shock to find that CJ, Ossie and Alston also came along, it had been quite a while since is saw those bros of mine man. After lunch, went for the gig, it was a very nonsense gig where pple SAT down and watched the bands. But i must say there was this one band that was really very gd, their Saosin covers were awesome and originals were also really very tight.

After that, we went all the way to funan for dinner. Then headed home, had to rush out some work for the presentation the next day. Finished everything by 12. Then caught Gossip Girl, after a long break they are back and kicking. One of the best episodes so far=)

New Year, New Gadget, New Hobby=)

2009-01-04T11:17:00.000-08:00

I just came back from Malaysia again, just went to some island near JB to relax for the weekend. After a long string of parties, this was a perfect getaway from the fast pace life that has been going on lately. I did some new stuff in Malaysia and played with something i never dreamed i would ever play with in my life. But i will leave those stories for the next post.

1st Jan 09 (Time is flying on an F16 fighter plane nowadays)
As of now, I want to blog about New Years Day itself. This is the day before i left for Malaysia btw so don get the dates mixed up. It was the happiest day for this year so far! haha! (It was only the first day of the year.)

So after the non stop daily parties, I wanted to spend new years day by myself for a few hours. During this time, i went to get something i wanted for quite a while now. Yes thats right my friends, I finally bought my SLR camera. I was considering between a Nikon D60 which cost $780 and a Nikon D40 which was going at $670. So after much consideration i realized i was going to pay $110 for just a 4.2 megapixel difference which actually has no different in picture quality unless you are going to enlarge the picture at least 20 times its original size. Everything else about both cameras are exactly the same.

And $110 is quite alot when it is my own money and not my dads, haha! So yea i chose the D40 but then, i saw some other nice lenses and so i decided why not just buy them as well? So in the end i spend close to $900 for the D40 with bag, tripod, screen protecter, lens protector upgrade to anti shake body and also a Wide Angle Lens and a Macro Lens.

It was worth it if you ask me and after that i felt really contented and so I was sure i did not waste my money. It was also just in time for my trip to Malaysia and that made me even more please with my buy.

That night, i went over to fletcher place for dinner since we didnt go over during christmas so yea, it was just a small get together with his family and the rest of the guys and gals. Left earlier to have a good sleep before the trip the next day.

As i mentioned earlier, I will post an entry of the Weekend getaway to Malaysia in my next post. As of now, i need to sleep. Tmr i have 2 freaking hours of school man! Wad could be worst is they are returning Macroecons results! You know how Lester and Econs are right? Worst then Oil and water that is!

Wish me luck and check back for the malaysia entry tmr!

Below are just a fraction of the pics taken, pardon the skills as i just started.

Where the party people at? MY HOUSE LAH!

2009-01-04T10:40:00.000-08:00

Ok, so on the 29th of Dec I had a party at my house which i totally forgot to blog about and i just skipped straight to my New Years Eve post entitled "Happy I now can count Day".

So yea, here is the entry on MY party! So,I only invited the Christmas Group of Friends that i spend partying throughout the christmas season with so yea, to the rest of you guys, don get pissed at me or anything. I will throw another party at the end of the semester to mark the end of my first year in poly yea?

29th Dec 08
So anyway, preparation for the party started early, my grandma, mum and I cooked all the Christmas Stuff. Then my dad offered to pay for all the beer, i think he bought about 12 cartons. Multiply by 6 and yea thats 72 cans of beer! For like wad? Lets see, Kevin, Pat, Chris, Bev, Dragon,Alston,Ozzie,Jason,Arnold,Patrick,Fletcher,Martin,Erwin,Fel and Me. Thats like only 15 pple.

Then after that, i told him we wanted hard liquor as well, so he came up with this plan to just have this big drink dispenser, he filled it with a bottle of Jim Beam and then added coke. And he was like "nah, now you guys got boubon coke ready to drink". That really saved us a great deal of trouble really. Everyone came, had our dinner, drank wad we could then the whole group went down to chill more. Bought another bottle of bercadi, dewar's white label jim beam and also Malibu! We also still had beers left.

We drank till about 4 plus then Bev got abit drunk so ozzie, chris and I brought her back to my place to sleep it off. Went back down to continue drinking all the way till 6 plus then we went home. Chris, Pat and Kevin stayed over till morning and i had school. Haha. So since i woke up i decided to go to school anot i wld have slept through that day man! A wonderful night spend with the guys and girls once again.

Took a million pictures that night, credits to Patricia but decided to only upload 2.

Happy "I now can count!" day

2008-12-31T11:12:00.001-08:00

CONGRATULATIONS to all you count - downers out there!

Finally you get to attend the revision class on how to count from 1 to 10 BACKWARDS!
I know you guys really feel the achievement after completing that difficult task that you guys always have such a big celebration. (reason for the fireworks and loud music)

Maybe next year they should try to countdown from 200 instead, a bit more challenging now don't you think? You guys already did countdown from ten for the 2008th time, don you think its time to up the competition a little?

After thinking really hard on what i want in life and what i need to do to get there i came up with these NEW resolutions!

New Year Resolutions 08

- Learn the art of Photography
- Learn to Play drums well
- Save Money
- Establish Regular sleeping habits
- Study Harder

The crouching ALEX hidden DRAGON

2008-12-29T21:39:00.000-08:00

I was really busy since christmas so yea. I didnt have time to blog. Party after party just left me longing for my bed the first thing i step back into my hse every morning. So yea now back to school, which I am going to study and do very well for this semester. B4 that, i have to write a recount on the things that happened since Christmas Day itself.

26 Dec 08

So on this day, I had 2 parties to go to. Kim and Alex's. So i really didnt noe how to choose. I flipped a coin and it landed in a balance between heads and tails. How did that happen? I presumed God wanted me to go for both parties, so thats wad i did. (The coin thing didnt actually happen)

SO anyway, I went to kim's party first all the way at somewhere near Serangoon gardens. Stayed a while, had dinner and a few beers, the food was extremely good i must say. Then by 11 plus i left and went all the way back to Pasir Ris and then.....

I had another christmas party at one of my other friends place, so i was kinda late, the rest was all there already. Abt 12 plus i reached and i was glad to once again feel like it was home, cause it was Eurasian families hse. They had a Bar like most Eurasian houses(Not Mine though) This guy on the other hand has a very unique Sir name, that even I myself have not heard of before. His real and actual name is Alex Dragon. And as usual some member of the other Eurasian family will know somebody from my family and who else but Ian James Pinto who is my father by the way knows his father. Glenn Dragon. Then I also saw another of his auntie that knows my auntie. The powerful family names that we had yea? haha. It was a wonderful evening. Almost the whole group was there this time. Kevin,Pat,Chris,Ozzie,Alston,CJ,Russell,Jason,Arnold,Beverly,Alex and Me of course. Oh and there was this gun cleaner also, forgot wad the fuck his name was. Had a gd time and drank till the sun rose.

The rest when for breakfast in the morning while I was just too tired to eat. After that, they wanted to play soccer??!?!?!? At 7 in the morning! I had to give that a pass so i got a cab back. For some reason no photos for this day. Ah well.

27th Dec 08.

Ok, this is one crazy day. So it started with me, going to Kevin's House for the christmas dinner. I actually was suppose to go to Ozzie's and Alston's place but i was late, so i went straight to Kevins. Then we had some lovely food, the Turkey was sooooo sumptous i just didnt know wad i wanted to do. Then we decided to go SeaShell park to carry on with the party as there was really too many pple and noise level was gonna be a problem.

First at seashell park,Alex, Chris, Erwin, Fletcher,Jason, Jocelyn, Kevin,Martin and Me were there, drank a bit then Alston,Arnold,Beverly,Boash,Ozzie,Patrick,Russel and this other guy, sorry dude but i forgot your name. Then CJ came back from sending his parents. So there was this extremely huge group and we were trying to play some drinking game which was quite screwed up. In the end we drank and drank and drank and then............................................................................

Ok, so after that i cannot remember a single thing that happened, so I invite those of you who can recount for me what i did, to write a word document and send it to me, cause you guys said i was the entertainment for that night. I will be waiting. Until then,

Stay Tuned, get warped.

Be yourself, because YOU are special.

2008-12-25T13:05:00.001-08:00

So while having a couple of whiskys with my dad, my dad told me, he is lucky to have me cause like not many other children will go out with their parents to have a drink cause they feel awkward.

That got me thinking, I don't think they feel awkward, they just feel it is not cool. You see, in our world today, teenagers are trying very hard to be branded "a cool kid". I mean, if you are TRYING that already means you are wasting your time. I mean, i feel it is either you are born with it or not.

You may argue and say, NO, you can be cool by just doing cool stuff. My friend, that is where you are absolutely wrong, it is your character and once you don have it you can NEVER obtain it.

Now, people cannot accept that. BUT WHY?!?!? Why the fuck cant you just be who you are? I think that when you cannot accept who you are, that is when you are a FUCKING LOSER!

Look at me, I go out and just do what i want to do, as long as it is not a criminal offense and i do not hurt anyone, i think it is totally fine. For example, I can go out alone the whole day, sit at a restaurant and have dinner by myself or catch a movie or go shopping all alone. Why? Cause i like doing it, people look at me and thinkI have no friends but fuck, I look at them and think, you are so dependent on people you can't have a simple meal alone.

I can go out with my grandparents, and hold their hand while they walk with me and I can even kiss and hug them anywhere before they leave, on public buses, in shopping malls. How many of you dare say you can do that without feeling the least bit embarrassed? Well I can and it has been proven time and time again.

In church, during the "peace be with you" how many of you GUYS out there at my age, go and kiss your whole family one by one including your father. If you are a girl maybe you still feel its alright. Why do guys not do it? Most teenagers just smile or give a firm hand shake. Why? I know its not cause you do not love your dads but it is cause you feel it is weird, or gay or you are just ashamed to do it. Cause the society does not accept it.

The list goes on, the clothes you wear, the music you listen to, the way you speak, the types of hobbies you have. I hear people saying, "I want to look like Tom Cruise or Angelina Jolie" or whoever. But why? I wake up everyday and I am fucking happy to look like myself and not someone else.

You guys out there who cannot be youselves are the losers, WHY? Cause you let people control you, without you even knowing. It gets so bad till the extend some people lead a fake life till they themselves believe it to be true.

I really do not know how you guys can do it? Wake up every morning, and lead your fucking fake lifes, do, act and behave the way your "friends" want you to. Do what your friends feel is "Cool". And you know why you have friends like that, cause they too fell for that trap and they too are following someone else. And people like me, those leading our OWN lifes can and will know, because all you fakes are so prominent. I feel both very sad and pissed off when i bump into these type of people. I might not tell you, cause i just do not give fuck, but if i do tell you that shows i at least still care, so you should listen and change.

Please, love yourself a bit yea? Your mother gave birth to you cause she wanted her own son or daughter, not someone else.

Learn to accept yourself and make others accept you, if they do not then there is no point in wasting your time, they are not worth it. They should be your friend because they like you and not cause they like who you are pretending to be.

Live your life, not a lie.

Stay tuned, get warped.

Words cannot describe what i am going to say

2008-12-25T01:32:00.000-08:00

So now, i shall continue from where i left off, a bit slow i know but yea. DEAL WITH IT! =)

20th Dec
So this day was simple, just had a dinner at a fine dinning restaurant with Sean and Huang somewhere in town. It was a 5 course dinner. But you see, the problem with Fine dinning, is the food is always very nice but they give you portions only enough to feed a bird. Or Cheyenne(My sister who eats really little) So this type of dinning is not really that fine to me. But yea, in our world, we have to eat these type of stuff every now and then so just have another meal after that la.

So yea, after that, we left to get beers again, went to this place near my hse that had really nice oyster omelette AKA Ou Jian. NNB la all this chinese spelling. But anw, we had 6 bottles of tiger first, then sean left and Huang and I had another 2. Had a meaningful talk with him for once! haha. So yea. That was about it la.

21st Dec

Ok, this was a really nice day. So like at 10pm i receive a msg for syafiq, asking if wanna drink. So ok, we gathered the humans and decided to go to Pasir Ris to drink and catch the Lpool Vs Arsenal match at the same time. As i was leaving my dad also left with me, and instead of taking the car, his friend came to fetch him. This one of the rare times where my father is not home and the car is. So i decided why not take the car out after all coming back wld be a chore in the wee hours of the morning. After must contemplation i decided not to la as i am going to get my own car in a while and i didnt wanna jeopadize that.

So we reached pasir ris, Ridhwan syafiq and sean and i all met and had drinks. Were watching the match. Then suddenly this man started shouting and then he took a beer bottle and wanted to smash this china womens face then in the end he smash the bottle on the floor instead. Lucky not near me. So anw after the match drew 1-1 we suppose to go get a bottle of scotch or something but suddenly, kevin calls. ask me to wait at the car park near where we were at. So i was expecting fletcher and his van la but to my utter surprise, i saw kevin in his mums car with fletcher. So i was like fuck, cannot la must take my car. So told sean all to wait, then they drove me back to get the car.

Reached back, i was damn afraid to lose the parking lot cause if i did my dad wld surely fine out. So yea, i took this giant yellow dustbin threw out all the little then put the dustbin in that lot. After that, i was damn scared cause the last time i took out my dads car, i wrecked it real bad. And my dads car is damn difficult to drive, firstly its long, secondly all the signals are on opposite sides from wad i learnt at CDC. So yea, even fletcher, a driver with 5 years expierence said it was difficult.

So anyway, manage to get back to pasir ris, by then i was already damn afraid, but still very thrilling. Picked sean and all up then we drove arnd for a while after which we made our way back to Tampines, we were out for like 3 hrs so when i got back, the parking lot had been taken!!

Heart pumping and all, i decided to just get another lot. Had to ask fletcher to do the parking cause i was too scared and i was afraid i wld wreck the car again.

After we parked, kevin now had a big problem. He left the keys in the ignition and came out of the car and now, with mordern technology the car will auto lock. So he was locked out of the car and the engine was still running. We tried all sorts of ways to break into his car, and since it was like 5 am pple who walked pass must have thought we were trying to break into someones car.

After an hour or so, syafiq left and only sean, kevin, fletcher and I remained, kevin decided to tell his mother and to our surprise, his mother was not pissed, she just told him he has to find a way to get the car back. So they left to get help and i just sat under my block to watch the car and at the same time, see if someone comes out of that parking space that i needed. After abt another hour kevin and all came back and their problem was solve, and as if out of nowhere, this guy walks up to the car next to the parking lot that i needed and takes out his car!!! I was elated, and fletcher parked the car for me. Now it was not so obvious, cause who actually remembers the exact parking spot. So yea. It all ended well. God must have been on our side that morning. Thank you man!

ANY COUSINS, UNCLES, AUNTIES OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER, DON'T EVER SHOW OR TELL THIS TO ANY OF MY PARENTS, MARK MY WORDS I WILL KILL YOU!
Thank you=)

22nd Dec

Today is one of the days i have been waiting for, it is Chris's Christmas Party. So I my dad drove me to Yishun. I reached there, his hse was full of pple, it felt just like home with all the Eurasian fellas arnd. Then i met Chris's cousins, and i was shocked cause they were CJ's cousins as well! So i finally realized CJ and Chris are actually cousins also. A common thing in the small eurasian population here in SG. We had beers and the food was excellent. Met Jocelyn, Martin's girlfriend for the first time, she is a really nice person and better yet she can sing also. Very happy for martin. So yea we had our usual bottles of Whisky after the party and I really enjoyed myself sitting at the park drinking and singing. Not like the mat mat type play one chord then try to sing. We have Kevin and Irwin who can really play almost any song just by hearing it a few times. Then we have Kevin, Pat, Martin and now Jocelyn who can really sing and then there is me and chris who will come up with songs and sing along as well. Chris is an awesome drummer but too bad drums are not as portable as a guitar. Then Alex and Alston joined us also for the first time. Those were Chris's cousins. It is always really nice just hanging with all of them.

Stayed out all the way till morning, then we left for home. The best day so far=)

23nd Dec.
I spend this day, at home all day. Beacuse i had to make pineapple tarts for christmas. YES I CAN MAKE PINEAPPLE TARTS! I know no one believes me, you think i just help my mother but NO i make them. Fel came over to help me out. She had a nice chat with my mother abt me and all. AHH, you can ask fel for confirmation, she too didnt believe me at first. Pple, usually order from me, but this year too lazy, i just wanted to make them for my family and few other fellas la. So yea, i aimed for 2000 tarts. But i only made 1000 plus la. So yea, it was a fruitful day=)

At night, i went for dinner with my family to Hong Kong Street at east wood. It has been a while food was great, but the talk of the night was in the carpark. The level crossing thing was spoiled and so there was a long queue in the small carpark to get out. After like a 20 min wait my father when to see wad was happening. He was already quite annoyed with the situation cause he needed to go to work and i needed to go meet sean and amanda and shaik and vernice at simei.

So i went out to see wad he was going to do cause usually it will be very laughable. So he told the security to give him the key so he could take a look inside the machine. After a while he wasnt able to get it fixed so he went back to the car and i was thinking wad the hell he want to do and you know wad? He brought some tools, why the hell he has them in the car i dont know but yea and he removed the whole machine and level crossing out of the place. I was laughing like mad cause the guy was telling him not to do it and all. It was really funny. He really took out the whole thing! Thats Ian James Pinto for you. Now you know where i get my nonsense from=)

24th Dec
I spend the day with fel and her friends today but i know few of them and one of them was from my pri school and Sec school so yea. But first both of us caught twilight AGAIN. Thats my 7th time watching the show. Still it was nice la. haha. After that, we went down to this bar at east coast called Beach Cabana, had drinks, counted down to christmas and it was alot of fun.

Yes, that is Adam if you guys are wondering. And finally i have a nice photo with fel.

I will write abt today later when i get home from more visiting. So for now.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

18th Dec

Went over to Hui's place to play rock band! Hui was the guitarist, Stefan sang and i played drums. It was very difficult and it was there was so much difference btwn a real drum set and that electronic drum set. We left his hse at about 7pm and met Shiwen and Poh at city hall. Headed to timbres for a couple of drinks. They kinda suck cause they only serve pints and we needed Towers or at least jugs but they didnt have it. So on top my pint of Edinger, ordered 18 shots. Talk of the night was POH WAI LONG! He is in the process of getting together with her as she has now allowed him to try again. They got each others picture as their wallpaper shld be going well yea? They are going out the day after this according to him. So yea poh, hope u get wad u want yea man=) OH YEA, NEWEST DISCOVERY: POH WAI LONG IS NOW ABLE TO CONSUME PRAWNS!

19 Dec

I feeling damn sick on this day was feeling very terrible. I went to meet fel though as i already promised to accompany her to Bugis to buy chrismas presents. She was really nice getting me the endless amounts of tissue i needed. Bought me barley all to make me feel better. Was a great day. Till the phone part. But oh well. Fel will be fel right fel? and Les will be Les and so there will always be stuff we dont agree on. But hey, it has been like that for the past 6 years and we still are the closest you get in this earth=) Went home and slept straight away after that.

Will carry on the rest later, as of now i need to do something really important that i have not done for the whole day today.

Lady, Ima run you over!

2008-12-13T00:42:00.000-08:00

Yes, if you haven't already heard, i FAILED my driving test!

Why?!!? Because i almost ran a lady down. As i came out off the Driving centre, i had to stop at the stop line, so there were people crossing, i waited, then this lady came and she stopped at the curb. I still waited a while to give her some time to ensure she was not gonna cross, so after a while i moved off and as i did, so did she. And the tester jammed the break on his side. Looked at me and said, "Boy people crossing you don noe how to wait ah? I was like: "no i gave her time and i thought she didnt want cross wad." He replied" Peoples life cannot THINK one" This is an immediate failure.

So yea. I shld have ran her over. FUCK YOU LADY!

On a better note, i will be leaving for KL tonight instead of last night so yea. See you guys when i get back. Hope theres some happenings there.

Stay tuned, get warped

2008-12-10T07:01:00.000-08:00

So, the past 2 days I had my exams and tmr is my last paper. For the first time in my life i actually studied a bit more than a bit. Tomorrow is the FnB paper but i really do not know what to study! I mean Boo was telling me he studied that herbs are aromatic and fragrant and fruits are sweet and juicy! Damn! It cant be that easy. Or can it? hmm....

Im damn nervous! Not for tmr, but for friday! Now thats the real test man. 12 December 08 will either be the best or worst day of my life. Heck! whatever it is saturday is going to be good cause i am going to KL. Call me an asshole but its my first time, my parents are more to the faraway countries type so i don get to go to malaysia or any of the asian countries much, except JB and thailand cause that is with friends.

Anyway before any of that takes place have to snap back to reality, tmr is still the last paper!

Good luck to everyone for their exams tmr. And BEST of luck to me! Haha=)

Stay tuned, get warped

My parents

2008-12-08T08:40:00.000-08:00

This is a rather peculiar post. It is not about what happened yesterday or a debate on a particular topic but instead, it is a post on how grateful i am to have MY parents.

I will start off by saying something every other son or daughter will say. I HAVE THE BEST PARENTS IN THE WORLD! But sorry to the rest of you out there, cause mine really ARE the best and i am going to tell you why.

My parents both had good careers ahead of them from before i was born, they both enjoyed their jobs and love the friends that they had at work. BUT, as soon as i was born, my mother decided to quit her job and also the circle of friends she had there, JUST so she could dedicate her life fully to looking after me. My dad on the other hand was supportive of this even after knowing that now, he was the sole provider of the house.

Some might say, she is stupid to throw her career like that, she can hire a maid or put me in child care. But my mother knew she could trust no one except herself with her son. Others might say, "aiya, what so difficult stay at home only wad, more slack than everyday go work". Well, maybe your parents told you that. Sad to say, your parents were wrong. Think about this, all you do, for the rest of your life, is stay home, cook, clean and look after your son with the risk that when he grows up, they are just going to not bother about you. The only thing you look forward to is................... nothing. You cannot achieve anything that is deemed fruitful in the career world, you dont have much friends and money cause now you do not work. But, my mother still did it, why? Cause she loves me and she did not, even for a second, think about herself. All she did, she did for me.

My dad, seems to lead a rather easy life, cause he goes to work and thats all he does. BUT, thats not true. Now i realize why i am able to have anything i want. Because, all the money he earns, he does not use it for himself. Come to think about it, i don remember when was the last time he bought himself something. Everything is either for the house or for his children. It is not because he does not earn enough. For those of you who are closer to me, you know my dad earns a steady income, but still he does not spend anything on himself. He provides me with what i need and much more. The rest of the money, he saves it for me again, for the future.

Think about this, you study and work all your life, and since 18 years ago, you barely spend any of the money for yourself. Think about it this way, you go out and work for a month, your work timing is anytime of the day. You can work at 2am till the next day 12pm and come home, sleep 2-3hrs and go back to work again at 5pm the same day. And yea, you get my drift. Then at the end of the month you give EVERYTHING away. Tell me if YOU can do that. Not just for that month, but for the rest of your working life.

For the past 18 years, mother hasnt gone for much shopping, she hasnt gone for medicures or pedicures or any other pleasures that will benefit her, why? Cause all the money my dad earns, he gives to my sister and I and he will only give enough to my mother to buy things for the household. NOT because he is selfish, but because they both have agreed to sacrifice EVERYTHING for my sister and I. The biggest sacrifice is that, it is not because the family is poor, and everyone has to be tight with the spending, but instead, it is beacuse the sum of money my dad earns is given to my sister and I to spend without thought and so that we can be happy.

Lets take 2 simple scenarios
Firstly, my mum walks into a shop and sees a really nice dress. It costs $60, she really needs it for a wedding dinner but thinks and thinks and thinks and in the end she walks out of the shop without the dress. Moments later, I call and tell her i WANT to buy a nike shoe which cost $169 for no reason. I dont need it, just want to buy for the sake of it. Without thought, she will transfer me the money. Then she will just go home and make do with something she already has.

Secondly, my dad, after whole life of working hard and get a gd job with a great pay. Thinks of getting a nice car for himself, like most fathers out there, i mean wouldnt you want to show that you are an establish adult after you worked so hard for it? But after much thought, he decides, he rather spend the money on my sisters and my education and instead, he uses the company car which is some rubbish ford focus when he can afford something much more prestigious, then suddenly he sons turns 18 and asks for a car. Without thought, he agrees to buy one for him after he passes his driving licence. Which father will do that? For all the years of his life, he has either taken the bus or a taxi or use the company car to go to work which i must add, is at strange timings. And now he buys a car for his son, knowing that he has to pay the petrol and all other maintainence that comes with it. AND, he continues to use the company car everyday.

All this, is more than just about money, it is the love and the sacrifice that has been made by my parents just to see ME happy everyday. Anyone can find any parents out there that is the same as mine. Please come and tell me.

You might say, hey my parents will also buy for me car or my parents also give me enough money to spend wad. BUT, look at all these parents who buys cars for thier children or gives their children countless amounts of money to spend, if you realized they too have nice cars and endless amounts of designer clothes and they too are enjoying the pleasures of life. Why? Cause they ensure that they themselves are ok and living a gd life first, then they will worry about thier kids. So they are different.

Find me parents who are living the life of the poor just so thier children can live a luxurious life. Cause those are what my parents are like. This is just a small fraction of what my parents sacrifice for my sister and I. If i were to list out everything, i could publish a whole new series of books.

Some might say after reading this, that it cant be true, no one would do something like this for anyone else. It is just too inhuman to be this selfless. Well, you know why you think that way? Simply because you did not grow up in MY family. Thats why my parents are the BEST parents in the world.

Then others might say, but your parents like this, they will spoil you and thats not good also what.

But, think about it. If they did spoil me and i dont know the value of money cause i just spend spend spend. Would I be writing this in the first place?

Mummy and Daddy, I am sorry for everything wrong i did to you, I WILL change, only time will tell.

I love you both, more than you guys could have ever imagined.

The Joy Ride

So last night, i went to have dinner with my family suddenly at White sands, i saw these 2 fellas staring at me from the corner of my eye. Look up and HEY! It was Kevin and Pat. Instantly, I bid farewell to my mum and dad and joined the 2. So, kevin's mum was also there at the ATM or something. We went back to his place and waited for fletcher and martin and this other old fren name dennis. So the original plan was, to get kevin's mothers car and then let dennis drive us arnd since he just got his licence. But in the end the fella bailed on us and we were already in the mood for a joy ride. Sooooo, we got Kevin's mum to go with us!

First picked fletcher, then we went Serangoon to get Martin. Then for some strange reason, kevin's mum brought us to GEYLANG. After a few rounds, we left for orchard. Parked at Forum and went to Cuscaden for a few drinks. Until now i don know who i owe for the drinks. Damnit.

After that, we send pat home all the way at Yishun, then drove pass Yishun Dam. Then went to Jalan Kayu for supper. Talked a while, had supper then we left.

At the Carpark, MARTIN and Kevin drove the car arnd, and parked it. Martin was extremely happy. Haha! There you have it martin=) I will save my driving for next week=)

Oh Yea, kevin can do this
thing where he closes his
eyes and park the car!
<----Look!

Martin, having his first lesson at Jalan Kayu and not at driving centre! --->

It was a really Memorable day as Kevin's mother was with us throughout the whole trip and she was more of a friend than a parent. Just like my parents. So it was really gd. Had fun last night.

We shall do this again, once i get back from KL.

SO KEVIN'S MOTHER, IF YOU SEE THIS, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING LAST NIGHT.

Just some of the pics, we took.

Made it once again, but this might be the last

2008-11-26T10:42:00.001-08:00

So previously on monday i posted abt the assignment thing right, i pulled it off it the end by tuesday! Just didnt have time after that to post. Lets see how i did it.

Woke up on tuesdays morning, made a few calls here and there, had a few dead ends and finally i got a chef who had my favourite food. Asked him if i could interview today itself and he was like i am in charge of cooking for an event today but i will try to make time. I was elated and extremely grateful man!

So, straight after school, took a cab down to driving centre, from there took another cab to the restaurant. There was some event and pple were starting to pour in. So took photos before the crowd arrived. Ordered my food, took photos of it. And i had to wait quite a while to interview him. He was really nice, even with his busy schedule he made time for me here and there. Sat down a while, got the ingredient list from him, gave me a step by step tutorial on how to prepare the dish. Then he went in to cook awhile and came back out, gave me a history on the dish, then a history of his restaurant and after that a history of himself. From there cabbed home, uploaded pics, then did my report. Spend about 2 hrs in total on the report to ensure it was in the best quality. That was about 1 plus. Printed everything and got everything done properly by 1.30pm!

It was a tiring but fruitful day and i enjoyed every moment of it, yes guys even the report writing part=)

That was yesterday. What i did today, i will blog tmr, reason being i am really tired.

And tmr i have another job interview an old friend got me a job at this logistics and marketing company and he feels i am suitable for the job so ask me to go down for an interview with his bosses or something. Nervous a bit but i am sure it gonna be fun talking to the bosses and all.
Love interviews!

Check back tmr to see how stuff goes yea guys?

Stay tuned, get warped!

Wailong's not so typical Bdae!

2008-11-24T08:19:00.000-08:00

Unlike any typical bdae, Poh Wai Long wanted to celebrate his just over a simple dinner at 85 market.

Mainly because, he had work till 9pm and has to start work again early the next morning. Had dinner with him, amanda, vernice and angela. And bro i am really really fucking sorry about the not telling you about it thing. Really terribly sorry man.

Then we ordered numerous stuff eat till our hearts content and the girls got out the cake for wailong, he was extremely touched or he seemed la. He is an actor after all and he is trained to act out stuff like that.................. KIDDING LA POH.

SO that was it, a simple bdae, caught the last bus and headed back home.

That was saturday.

As for yesterday, i spend my sunday evening having a wonderful seafood dinner with my family, following that i caught the Tottenham Vs Blackburn match with zal.

It was a pretty nerve racking match, cause i bet for the final score to be 1-0 to Tottenham and they scored in the 9th min. From then on every ball on target made my heart skip a beat. But all was good cause no one scored any goals afterthat and so i won my bet, amt confidential la=)

Screw you singapore pools!

Took a slow walk back after the game and went to bed.

My Expedition

2008-11-23T01:12:00.000-08:00

The day b4 yesterday, i had an expedition with zal, haha it was tiring cause i walked one of the furthest in my life (furthest being the katong to tampines walk before my o lvl maths paper)

So anyway it started with a bus trip to downtown east as we were suppose to go fer a bbq pit,which i must add, we didnt know the pit number. We caught the last bus to downtown east, upon alighting the bus, we wanted to ask for the pit number but then suddenly zal said: " I remember they said it is near the spiderweb part of pasir ris park" I was like " WTF thats like so far from here" Best of all, no more bus, so instead of taking a cab, we decided to walk and walk and walk and walk and walk....................

Still walking........

Then we finally reached elias mall, which is still far from the spiderweb. There we had 2 choices, the long winding road which cars take or the haunted makeshift road through the woods which is about two thirds shorter.

Lazy as we were, we decided to gather up courage and walk through the haunted path. As we entered, we could hear the crikets all around us, look up ahead and we could see nothing. So we just braved through the woods, walked and walked for about another 10mins, only then could we see dim rays of light.

Once out of the woods we walked through an estate and then reached the park. When we reached the park, know wad zal said" AHHH, now i remember, it is pit 13!" For those of you who don't know pit thirteen is all the way at down town east, where we were when we started of. I wanted to kill him! hahaaa. but nvm, so we sat down and i decided we should head home instead.

After a while we tried to get a cab. But we couldnt, then we saw a police car and being me i had to try my luck. Went over and stopped the police car and then: "Excuse me, here still got bus anot?" Then i said, can give a ride home, but then the police officer was already quite pissed and said, you just walk out here and you can get a cab. I decided to give up and just like a miracle an empty cab was approaching.

We got the cab and headed for home.

Wasnt a typical way to spend my friday night but yea it was ok.

Oh yea and i caught Quantum of Solace before this, it was gd, action packed and all but i still prefer Casino Royale. I give it 3 1/2 stars out of 5.

BEST FUCKING DRIVING LESSON EVER!

2008-11-20T10:02:00.000-08:00

So today, i had 2 auto lessons back to back. First lesson was boring, but the second one, OMFG! It was the bomb la!

Ok, so i get into the car, was warmly greeted by the instructor, a rare thing at the Comfort Driving Centre, they usually all have fuck faces, but this guy was fucking cool. So he says, this revision right? Come we go sight seeing, so i was expecting the standard training route.

BUT................................................

As i left the driving centre, made my way to tampines ikea area(Still standard driving route) Then where we usually suppose to turn he told me go straight, then ask me to turn right. THAT WAS TO FUCKING TPE MAN! TPE OK! NO ONE IN THE FUCKING DRIVING CENTRE IS ALLOWED TO DRIVE ON ANY HIGHWAY! Then i was like:"Huh can go highway ah? Hes reply: You want or don want? Next time you drive no need to cross any highway ah? HAHA! fucking cool la.

Then nvm, after all that, suddenly, he said: eh! today Toto 3 million you playing anot?" And me being a very active toto player was like of course la! Then he said, come we go pasir ris buy. So I drove to elias mall( Again out of training route) went down, bought for him and me and he promised if he won, i will get 10% cause i bought it for him.

After that, time was almost up, and we learnt that we both stay opposite each other. So i ask him, hey can I send myself straight home anot? Normal rules we have to drive to the centre first then make our own way home. He was like, No instructor in the whole driving centre will do that, EXCEPT ME! You are the first to ask me, so no problem. I was shocked la!!! the last time i ask an instructor that, he replied me: Crazy ah? If i get sacked u support my family ah? But this guy was the bomb la, i send myself to my house, he took over then i got his number then left!

oh my god! This was the fucking bomb man! I shall not reveal his name or car number though=)Wouldn't want to bite the hand that feeds me now would I?

stay tuned, get warped.

I Finally started Work........................................For one day=)

2008-11-20T09:23:00.000-08:00

So yesterday i had work. It was just for one day though, for some event called "The Lexus GS Hybrid launch" So lets see all that happened prior to work which was at 5pm.

So yea, woke up in the morning, learned that kevin, fletcher and martin all not going school, so i too didnt go. They all were at chris house early, but i was too lazy to get out of bed, so at bout 11 i decided to leave bed, then fletcher and martin came back to Tamp just to meet me and accompany me back to Yishun. Thanks la boys! But when they came, i needed to get the alchohol i promised Amanda and they had to get something frm eunos so we parted and after everything I met them at eunos. From there we cabbed to chris house at yishun, his mum cooked fer us lunch then we left fer work.

Reached Bouna Vista, waited for cab like fucking 45 mins, was late, reached bout 5.15. I thought we could park cars and all but end up we had to be marshalls. Mine was on the fucking main road la, everyone was alone, so it was damn boring! After a while i became too bored so i started disturbing cab drivers! I had a blinker with me, so everytime i see a cab i would use the blinker to pretend to stop the cab and then say i don want the cab, once i asked the uncle how to go to technopark, which was just on the opposite side of the road. I know fucking lame, but at that time when boredom set in, it was fucking entertaining.

So while most of them were marshalling hot girls in even hotter cars, i had middle aged or old man asking me for directions! FUCK YOU KNOW!

So the event was quite a grandscale one, we saw utt, thier was a few ministers and also some other star, forgot wads her name. So yea finished work at bout 12 then martin's father brought us to his place then kevins mother fetched us frm there and send us home. Thanks Kevin's mom and kevin himself!

Work was a bore, but or well it has been quite long since i had a job, so yea.

Oh and by the way, anyone who wants alchohol, come to me can get it for you at a cheaper price!

Got driving later! Fucking auto lesson, sure damn boring, plus its only revision since i completed everything already!

Stay tuned, get warped!

Waited and waited, soon we ordered beers and jasmine ordered oyster egg and i ordered chicken wings, had a short conversation with the chicken stall auntie, long time nv see her man! Then Edmund and I were disturbing the drink auntie to the max! Trying con her into giving us free drinks and all!

So anyway kat and candice soon arrived at 8 plus and said lee shen wasnt gonna be able to make it due too her extremely long de-brief session. Ordered bak chor mee for all, had a chance to chat with the stall uncle again, long time nv see him also man! So after that went to order stingray for candice kat and me. Ate somemore, till we really fucking full!

The dark ride

2008-11-16T05:03:00.000-08:00

So this happened about a week ago, but i totally forgot about blogging about it.

So anyway, sometime last week, my parents were going down the road for dinner asked me to come along, as usual i declined. 15 mins later was damn hungry so called my mum ask if she order for me first cause i coming down to meet them.

Got changed and went to bus stop, fucking long and no bus, then my dad called: "Lester, where are you, your food all here already, becoming ice". So i decided to take a cab. But to no avail, suddenly out of no where, this pickup stops and out of so many pple the 2 bangla workers inside ask me, "boy how to go Tampines MRT station ah" with a grin on my face i said: "OH! I also going there you send me then i can guide you la" In actual fact i wasn't going anywhere near the mrt. haha!

So yea i brought them for a joy ride, after they stopped me, i told them, go straight turn left then mrt already! But it was true la, just that it was a longer route la. haha. It was a first experiece for me, getting a ride with a bangla and all. SO, i managed to get photos, while in the pickup with them! Hahaha!

Told my parents about it and all they said was, you are one crazy fella! Haha, that was my dark ride=)

Sorry for the blur pics, kinda difficult in a moving vehicle!

Sahara..........................not desert though

2008-11-16T00:45:00.000-08:00

Last night.........

Plans were made to meet at 10pm at far east to celebrate val's birthday, zal contacted the guys so at about 10 plus beng and nicholas came to meet zal and I at fareast.

It was 11.30pm and im sure they too wondering the same thing as me. Where was val on HER birthday? We soon got the answer, she was at home still! But since it was her birthday everyone didnt complain much. Soon achap arrived followed by nick and ishan few mins later. Then they decided to go clark quay, so we inform val on the new plan but she insisted boat quay instead. I was ok with anything, but could see nicholas wasn't so keen on the idea but her gave in anyway.

We reached boat quay and soon after val arrived. Walked around to see whr to go, then afiq came frm home club to join us. After a while they decided to walk to clark quay, i was damn tired or maybe lazy la but yea i just complied and we were headed to this place called candy bar. Upon arriving at our destination, candy bar closed down! Some essential info for you guys who are planning to go there yea.

All were already quite exhuasted and now moods were down and to MY HORROR, they wanted to walk BACK to boat quay. I know its not that far, but still! Along the way, we chanced upon China 1 and wanted to go in, beng, val and I made it in, but they rest were stopped for and ID check, so since it was an under 21 pub, we all left to go boat quay.

While walking back, Val sugguested this place which had sheesha and drinks called SAHARA.
We reached there, ordered drinks the place we were in was quite hot, guess thats the reason for its name huh? After a while everyone was quiet, it was getting boring and i dont know how they survived after that cause i had to leave. Guess it was due to no proper planning, but the company was good la, so yea.

I Guess the quote of the day-
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
(Unknown)

Today

Woke up at 11.30, got ready to go church at 12.30 with fel. So i was late as usual, reached the church lobby at 12.45 . Took the lift, as it opened on the 3rd floor, we looked at each other and said: "i think don't go church la" so we decided to go have lunch at Phin's Steak House.

So after much consideration, I ordered Beer battered fish N chips. It is a must try, Deep fried dory prepared in special batter recipe, sided with fries and coleslaw and topped with dill. Only $13.70 and it was filling.
Fel, ordered steak, well done with some shallot and black pepper sauce or something. She said it was nice too, cant comment much on that cause i didnt try it. Not a lover of steaks i am. haha!
So after that we wanted to watch movie, but timings were all not favourable so we decided we do it tmr instead, so went shopping, she got a dress and left for home soon after. Thats all for now, update later, plans are coming in already! Yay!

Stay tuned, get warped!

Ok, by popular demand, i added a tagboard. So now, u guys can comment more easily.

The past few days.

2008-11-13T05:01:00.000-08:00

So, i have been really busy the past few days so had no time to blog, but today i shall summarize day by day the stuff that occurred. Lets start with the 10th of Nov............................

Monday, 10 Nov 08

I woke up in the morning due to the loud noise of the vacuum cleaner, then my mother came to me and said: "Hey les , Cheyenne, daddy and I are going for a short fishing trip in Rompin, Malaysia. But sorry you cant go due to your school" I was half awake but at the sound of that my brain started processing all the wonderful stuff that could take place during this short span of 3 days.

I quickly had a bathe and left for school and on the way i thought why not have a party? Just a small one though for the drinking crew and so i reached school, went for my 2 hr class and left. Made arrangements quick, called chris, kevin, pat, martin, fletcher and lenny. All were up for it, and also there was a chance we could get "up", so yea it was a party! All was to report in the evening at my hse.

So i went to run errands, buy beer, stock up on food for myself for the next few days. Just nice, shaik call ask to meet him and sean. Since he has been asking to come my hse for don know how long already, invited him and sean over. Then they came, both were going crazy playing my drums and bass. SHAIK was scared of hunter. hahaa.

Then abt 7 plus they left.

Just nice chris and martin was arriving, and last minute lenny couldnt make it so went to pick them, they got dinner for me and we went buy ToTo then went up. They jammed. Well, without kevin la, just vocalist and drummer. It still was fucking nice. Then 9 plus kevin and pat came. Then kevin and chris helped martin piece his naval! Hahaa.. Then the usual jamming session, then we headed for drinks. It was fucking awesome! Then fletcher came for a while, had a couple of beers then he had to leave with martin. Then we watched tropic thunder and after that, all went to bed cause next day was gonna be another hectic one. Slept about 3 plus 4. A fucking awesome day with the guys! =)

Tuesday 11 Nov 08

Woke up 11 plus, followed by chris then we went to wake pat and kevin and by the time all got ready, was about 1pm, left for the polyclinic, cause was going for job interview with chris so had to miss school but no important lessons so yea=)

Left polyclinic 2 plus and headed to lavender with chris while pat and kevin left us for Dhoby Ghaut. When for the interview and both of us got the job! Its for the Lexus cup. Maximum working hours 9 to 3 and $100 per day! Awesomness! Thanks a million chris!

Afterthat left for home, fel was coming over.

Decided to cook dinner for her, long time since I did that. So She came about 5, did some of her work..................Wait, she didnt do ANY work in the end! Haha, The Procrastinator she shld be called.

So we had a wonderful dinner(cause i cooked) talked a while till bout 9 plus then we watched gossip girl till 10 plus. Spend more time together talking about stuff then i had this crazy idea to order pizza from the hut so we did and we fed pizza to hunter, played with him awhile then she had to leave.
At 12, had some alone time, watched my favourites, Smallville, Heroes, Prison Break, One tree hill and 90210. Was damn wonderful with my whisky and pizza.
It was also another very awesome day. =)))

Wednesday 12 Nov

Woke up, made it for school, then went to meet the band, "one too many", to watch them jam, i am the Manager by the way! Waiting for my friends response so can get gig for them! They were superb, just abit off when they were doing "in the shadows", thunder was great, martin hit almost all the high notes. Congrats bro! "Three Cheers for five years" was awesome as usual Oh and i was amazed by Joshua's drumming, i thought he could only play bass. After that, went for dinner oh yea, met chris friend, hanis. She happens to stay just one bus stop after me, wad a coincidence! Anyway, left them at bout 9 plus to meet Shaik, stefan and wai long.

Met the guys at siglap starbucks, made fun of wai long as usual, slacked abit then took a cab, send wailong, shaik, then stefan back, then headed to pasir ris again to reunite with the band. So we had a couple of beers, then left for home. Was really tired by the end of these 3 days. But really enjoyed myself alot, a well deserved break from all the STUDYING i been doing.

Or maybe just a well deserved break from school la=)

Confirmation!

2008-11-09T07:15:00.001-08:00

Today was my sisters confirmation ceremony! Ask the catholic boys and confirmation means girls galore in church! I was not really interested la but still yea their were quite a number of hot girls around church.

So anyway, for those of you who do not already know, confirmation is a ceremony celebrated by roman catholic teenagers aged 15-16. It is when the church and arch bishop feel you are ready to be a "confirmed" catholic, it is also the graduation ceremony from 15-16 long years of Cathechism class or religious class as most of you know it. Also, for this event you will have to choose a confirmation name, prefably a saints name which will be your confirmation name. Mine was Anthony, after my grandfather and my favourite school, Saint Anthonys Canossian Secondary=)

So yea, my sister was all dolled up in her white gown and ready to leave the house at 2pm the ceremony would be starting at 3pm, so i as usual just got ready to go bathe at 2pm. I mean Holy Trinity Church is in Tampines and we live in Tampines, do the math, we do not need an hour to get there. But apparently my parents and sister failed math, cause they said they had to leave first and i will have to meet them there later. WTF?!?

So i reached there at 3pm, my family and relatives were there. As i predicted, the event did not commence till 3.30pm. Like idiots the whole congregation was sitting and just waiting......

So at 3.30pm it began with normal mass but celebrated by the Arch Bishop of singapore. Then the confirmation itself began. Basically, your named it called and one by one the confirmands go up and the bishop will say: "emily(my sister's confirmation name) you have been confirmed by the power of the holy spirit and I bless you in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit" he then will anoint you with a special chrism. Thats it!

So yea the whole thing ended at about 6pm and everyone went for dinner. Of all the wonderful places to have dinner, my sister chose cafe cartel! WTF?!? but ok, it was her day, so yea i have no say. Reservations were made prior to this day and it was fun la, practically the whole of cafe cartel was my family man! It was cool la, we talking across tables and my dad as usual kidding around and doing his nonsense. Thats where I get all my nonsense from la, like father like son=)

Overall an enjoyable day, also saw into few old SAC fellas i havent seen in ages, Vanessa, Laura, Dominique. Oh, saw Leeza also.

Guess this will be the last confirmation i attend till Eva gabriella Pinto's confirmation in the future. Thats the name of my future daughter by the way=)

Is our mindset aging more rapidly than our actual age

2008-11-08T07:30:00.000-08:00

Do you think it is possible that there will come a time where there will be school teachers or lecturers who are kids? Or a president of a country who is a teenager? I, strongly believe this is possible.

It is now common to hear of young kids who can do amazing things, things that only adults were capable of doing. Now in new millennium children at just 3 years of age are learning how to use the computer, learning how to operate electronical devices, parents are sending them for tuition and no, not to learn the alphabet but to learn mathematics and science. The things children used to learn when they were 7 or 8 years old are now being thought to toddlers. And since learning has no end, it brings about a domino effect. Children, or so they are called at 10-12 years of age are already learning how to make money, teenagers are already thinking about careers and now it is not rare to find a young adult of age 21-25 years of age who is already a millionaire.

Some people nowadays can afford to retire at 40 as they have already reached their goals which took people of the older generation at least another 20-25 years. Some people think this is the right way to live life because they feel you have to start early in life if you want to achieve your goals. But think about it, what kind of childhood would you have? What kind of life did you have as a youth? Some people may argue and say" I can enjoy my life after i achieve everything, once i know i reached my goals" but is it the same? Can you still have the youth of a 16 year old at the age of 45, not to mention all the adult situations you were in for the past 40 years.

I think after all, it is like a trade off, all that youth, and childhood wonders where life was so free,where you never had to worry about anything at all for a successful career at a young age. But is it really that worth it? Or would you want to enjoy the wonders of youth and start thinking about adult issues when you actually are an adult and instead work a little harder in the future, but still in the end make it and reach your goals? Personally, I will choose the latter.

Ask yourself this, would you want your fondest memory as a youth to be one that involves, slogging, working, being stressed out cause you are unable to meet deadlines and because you cannot complete that ridiculous work load? I, definitely wouldn't want that.

A series of fortunate events

2008-11-06T07:32:00.000-08:00

First the continuation of events on Tuesday(2 days ago) where i left off from the previous post...

So i did not actually see the Liverpool match! Due to the headache that set in just mins before the start of the match. Must be due to the basketball "training" i had before the 1k05 sports day!

So i went to the court in the park near my hse. Reached there about 8.30, played a relaxed match of 3 on 3 first. Been awhile since i went to a court alone and randomly played matches with pple but it was awesome man! Then fel came awhile to pass me some stuff and i carried on with a 2 hr straight full court match! Trust me, my lungs needed major surgery after that match! Met val and faizal and i almost had a chance to drive val's dads car to go pick her mum up from the airport but her father was not so keen on the idea so we scraped it. Went home in the end at bout 12 plus. So theres where the headache came in.

Damn! But in the end I lost all bets due to the miserable draw by liverpool. 1-1 the score, ending with a penalty for liverpool which gave them the draw.(Wished i watched it though) Must admit they did not play well, im saddened by the results but its ok man, every team has its ups and downs, even the best team in the leaque=) WIN, LOSE OR DRAW, You will never walk alone!

So now back to wednesday(Yesterday, the day after all of the events above)
we had our 1K05 sports day, it was great. The basketball matches really made me sweat like a dog man! Too bad i had to leave early so i did not play soccer. I chose Psychology Tutorial over sports okay! A big improvement there from last semester=)

After tutorial met candice, Jasmine, Katherine and Lee Shen for late lunch at sakae sushi. It was superb. I been eating at Nihon Mura for so freaking long i actually forgot there were other sushi outlets like sakae. Sumptious lunch there and didnt anymore the rest of the day!

As i was going home, i SUDDENLY received a call from chris, and guess what there was an impromtu chalet party! Everyone was gonna be there and with these dudes and gal it only SPELLS party! Of course alchohol and cancer sticks were gonna be plentiful as usual. And other stuffs la=) Then there will definitely be music, LIVE MUSIC i must add. With kevin's awesome guitar performance, martins awesome voice, chris magnificent beats and the youngest but best bassist i every seen, Joshua! So i had a great time at the chalet. Didnt get drunk though, its only a freaking wednesday man, too early fer that! But you know wad i got? I got to be the manager for their fucking awesome band man!

And even after everything, it was already freaking late but fel called and ask me to meet her! I mean yes i met her late before, but not this late man, i dont know how she sneaked out usually when i got for parties i can only dream of meeting her, cause she will nv come down. But wow, yesterday was an awesome day man!

Reach home, exhuasted from everything that took place. Thats all for now readers!
A fucking tiresome day!

The lounge

2008-11-04T09:22:00.000-08:00

So today i had school at 10.40am, and it was a short class only about 20 odd mins. But this is just for the time being, back to regular hours after next week. So yea from 11 plus till 2pm the clique had really nothing to do!

So.....we went to the schools lounge!

I only been there once but its a nice place to hang( Considering places within school compound) So boo, edmund, YanYang and few others and of course me wasted tons of cash playing pool and fuse ball. OH YEA and it was Katherine's Bdae, so yea we had cake when the rest of the peeps arrive which was 10mins b4 our next class. Being us, or wait, ME actually i live by the " Its better to be late, than to be dead" moral. Cause u see, if i happen to rush to class to be on time i might carelessly trip over something, fall and DIE! Yes its not that farfetched if u ask me. So some of that has rubbed of onto the rest of the class so yea everyone is seldom punctual.

So far that was the day, but its only 5.30 now. Still long way to go before this day is over.

OH! CANT WAIT FOR 1K05 soccer and basketball matches tomorrow at 11am. Lets see how that goes yea?

But the real match happens later in the wee hours of the morning. Liverpool VS Atlentico Madrid
will kickoff at 2.45 am.

Lets hope torress plays, so his previous team will see what they have lost! MUAHAHAHA!

My pick on the game is 2-0 to liverpool. Lets see how the game pens out.

The sleeping beast

2008-11-03T06:02:00.000-08:00

I actually slept for 10 hrs last night! 10pm to 8am. Usually 4am to 8am. I really do not know why but yea it happened. And just because i slept earlier yesterday, when i woke up in the morning. I had 23 miss calls and 12 msgs. Man!

That lead me to think, do we still need, no wait, CAN WE AFFORD 8 hrs of sleep a day???

I mean look at a normal schooling teens life in tertiary level.
-On good days we have about 8 hrs in school,( 10 hrs and even 12 hrs for some people)
-plus we need another say 3 hrs for revision at home,
-travelling time 1 hr average depends how far from school you stay,
-say 2 hrs for all meals,
-give a miserable 4 hrs for leisure.
(Thats internet, tv, shopping, movies, slacking all included a very short duration if you ask me)

So thats 18 hrs total. All you have is 6 hrs left for sleep. How bout the people who has 10 and 12 hrs of school. Or those that NEED to work. Yes, you may say they will have to sacrifice leisure time but they still ARE teens and need to have some form of enjoyment. So can we as teenagers of our time AFFORD 8 hrs of sleep. I dont think so! Sad but true due to the pace of our lives nowadays=(

I do not even wanna start thinking about adulthood.

Do give your comments on this. Thank You!
