Serve Sabah and More

I guess i've got to jot this down before the rest of the team find out about my blog.

The bonding camp was a great experience i guess. i got to know many ppl from ngee ann whom I nv knew existed. The team consists of 21 ppl. 2 teachers, 4 guys and 15 gals. yep. Sounds like i'm in paradise? nah. Far from it. People who know me well enuff will know that i dun really go out of my way to interact with gals. It's not that i'm gay, just that sometimes it feels awkward, i oso dunno why. Anyway the guys are quite easy to mix wid. Wen Kang is a little quiet at times, Keith is okay to mix around wid and Abriel well i dunno what to say, he's mostly likely my brother in this coming trip.

There were many activities during the camp, the ice breaking games were really fun lar. We din really know who each other well enuff. In the evening, okies more like nite ,we went to the pongol jetty to having a sharing about our lives, it was really interesting cos i've discovered a lot of us have many similar experiences eventhough our outlook on these situations are different. I for one, want to try and look at the world in a more positive while some know that they need to be more positive but it seems really hard.

Speakin about sharing, i was chatting this person yesterday nite. and i guess i was quite comfortable chatting eventhough we started out really slowly.and then she asked me this question about what kind a partner i was looking for. and somehow she started giving some physical traits with a question mark at the back of each. I indirectly shook her off and didn't answer cos somehow the traits she quoted, about half of them was sort of wad i was looking for. and this was really weird cos even my close friends really know what kind of a gal i'm looking for.
There is so many things to do before this trip. Planning for the things to buy, buying the stuff, packing and Blogging. ya blogging apparently we have to blog lar. But it's alrite i guess, cos i'm quite used to blogging.

Really looking foward to the trip but i haven packed yet.

Oh yeah, my results this sem has more or less been predicted correctly, with some surprises here and there, BCA and i so wished that i had better grade for CATS

Things are gonna get busy

Things are gonna get busy soon, so i betta jot down what i have meant to jot down a week ago.

First of all, i have to save how saddened i am by the news of the Pope's death. There goes another one of my idols. It was not so much because he's the head of the catholic church but because of what he has done and what he exemplified throughout his life. He was raised up mostly by his dad cos his mom died young. To think that he didn't turned astray. Having lived through the war, he did not become like some of those miserable people who talked about how miserable life was. He on the otherhand, keep a positive image on life and lived each day to the fullest. Most importantly, he was prayerful, a person who share his troubles and burdens with GOD. something that i find rather difficult even to some1 i can't see but i know is there.

I dun remember what i have done on monday already. But tuesday was rather memorable. it began when i woke up around 11 plus. and having read the sms sent by anthony, i rushed down to cineleisure cos i promised( yes promised) to watch howl's moving castle wid him. However he pang seh me and at but 1250 i sent him this msg. If you're replying me, i'm gonna watch INSTALL alone liao. And so that was what i did. I have to say it's a damn good movie, i love it. It sort of touch emotions was very close to my heart as well. So if u wanna know what the show is about go watch. I'm not telling at all. After the movie, i loitered around Cine. Yes cos mr anthony finally decides to call me and tell me that he's doing a Medical Examination and will meet me later. In the end, we watch Howl in the evening. okies lar, i was trying damn hard to make it a good movie for him by not telling what was going to happen next. Ya cos i used to do that for a lot of my pals. After the movie, we went to Sportslink/ world of sport dunno which one lar, he tried on some apparels while i admired a pair of running shorts cos it's like damn ex and i'm contemplating whether to buy or not. in the end i din buy. We made our way down to PS, talking the whole darn journey, oso dun rmb what we talked about but i guess that being able to have some1 listen to u crap feels good once in a while. After dinner, i walked wid him to the MRT before we parted and i went to the bus stop. And can u believe, i got so darn fed up of waiting for the bus, i walked to the next stop and at the next stop, the bus still have arrive so i continued walking.( from parkmall, to winston house to somerset mrt den Cine den i make a shortcut and arrived at grange road) ya basically the whole stretch of orchard. At grange, i waited like another 5 mins before the darn 65 arrived. ya when i alighted, there was one 65 right in front and another right behind. Basket lar make me wait so long.

Next day, i decided to buy the short afterall and went back to buy. Yep it just feels too good. I was in time for a movie called 3-Iron so i went to watch. It's a good show but damn lame lar. The lead actor din even touch, he didn't even have a dialogue. these day, something else that was very close to my mind was me feeling very displaced about the whole Pope's Death, i was feeling guilty cos here i am enjoying myself whereas somewhere else, there are people mourning his death and i can still say that he is my idol/ role model.

Thursday, went to kevin's house for a while before going to out to DOTA, feel bored lar but i guess it's not too bad. Friday, i stay home to watch the Pope's Funeral. i was damn pissed with samuel lar, keep disturbing me while i was trying to reflect. The whole funeral was alittle long for me and i sort of fell asleep during the eucharistic celebration(grasps it's like the most impt part during mass). But because the whole event was televised with a running commentary, it didn't feel like a mass, but i managed to listen to the readings, psalms, the homily and the final rite. It felt really a moment of sadness when the coffin was turned to face the crowd of St Peter's Square almost as if it signified good bye my brethren and kinsmen.

At 7 plus, i went out to meet kevin and gang. training for Dota and now i'm back typing this long entry cos i going for a retreat camp tmr. And the retreat is meant to reflect on other stuff not this so i guess i betta type this down first. Okies gotta pack my bag for tmr and go to sleep

Omg i feel old

Your Brain is 53.33% Female, 46.67% Male



Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female

You are both sensitive and savvy

Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed

But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve






Your Love Number is

You are a creative and expressive lover - a true romantic at heart.
An introspective soul, you know exactly how your ideal relationship should be.
But if you don't get that ideal, you tend to get a bit pouty and dramatic.
You need someone who can roll with the punches, that's for sure!

My masterpiece and ya i'm playing warcraft in the background lol Posted by Hello

Okay this week had been a rather busy week. And I must say this week has been one of many highs and lows as usual. But I guess that it’s part of life and I just have to accept this eventhough I know some of them I can do something about.

On Monday, I had my econs papers and it was manageable. I mean I was able to write quite a lot with without scratching my head but then again this may be the problem again cos I might be enough lar. I mean it happened during History, Geog prelim, social studies, and micro econs as well. Den on Tuesday, had BMGT exam, and the frustrating thing while I was studying for the exam was that, it freaking reminded of the BMGT project and it just sort of dawned on me that I missed out quite a lot of stuff and some stuff was wrongly placed which means we might not get a good grade for the project which is like 30% of the paper great:(, Wednesday had my final paper, principles of accounts, it wasn’t that bad I guess most of the questions were easy but the theory just sucked cos I din study the theory lar. I know what they more or less do but can’t explain. Just like Objectivity theory. List 1 mark and I lose 4 marks for explanation haha.

I guess the exams had many good and many bad, good things first, he made me focus on studies and shrouded the many perfectionalistic( wonder got such a word anot lol) goals for myself and life. But because there wasn’t any classes during this period of study, my mind was always on somethings else and it’s apparent when I started to walk at a speed that even an ah pek can outpace. and basically. Well at the end of the exams, I did something really rash. I forked out $80 for a Master Grade Gundam guessed I said before liao and spend 5 freaking hour fixing it and 1 hour pasting stickers(ya) and posing it. But I’m not regretting it, it’s looks damn good and it now on the highest shelf of my bookshelf.( so of signifying how visible and attainable freedom is if u just reach for it.

Thursday, I woke up during noon, met Kevin for a movie Spanglish. It’s a great movie I guess. Very realistic depiction of the world we live in although about everyone even parents struggling to maintain family cohesiveness and harmony in order to raise a family. After that, we went to play arcade at the Xzone, damn funny lar, we played pointblank for free cos the token reader is not locked properly, den after that we were very into this new game called Lethal weapon 3 and it’s damn fun cos it’s head to head and when u lose that stage, the huge pic of a loser and the caption below, I’ll leave it to boss. And den we will be like respect must respect and salute the other guy for fun. Haha
After that, meng and randall and can’t rmb who went to play dota. I have to say DOTA is losing it’s allure I seeked at the start, the thirst for fun. At nite, I did this really crazy thing, I decided to make a database of the movies I’ve watch since midyr 2003 and it came to a lot of movies with cost a substantial sum with most of the movies seen at GV Tiong Bahru followed by GV Plaza. Gonna get ppl with to watch movie with me and not watch it alone so much.

I completed the database and did the queries for the calculations and stuff only when I woked up the next morning. In the afternoon, I watched some anime and drama series before I went jogging in track pants. It was really tiring but I guess it was tiring enough for me. Still after that I went to played dota with the gang again.

Saturday, morning began with me having me pressing I and click the icon of Silencer very frantically but just not fast enuff and cos of that and a rather experience opponents, we lost the first match of the WCG preliminaries and I will say it here but not to their faces is that our present combi is good but just for pushing and we need to train more tactics like a combi for long game. One with really great team nuking. And I have to say we were undone at the later part by the fletcher and faceless void again. After that, suffering from the depression of the lost, we decided to play some more at another lan shop and so went to HQ to play and half way through, we played random enfo, it was so darn fun man. After that, they went for guitar and I went home using a very long way, taking a train down to tiong, den decided to go to Queensway to do some shopping, bought a new pair of shoes but couldn’t find a nice shirt ( dun have my darn size). After that I went home to watch four hours of Before the Sunrise and Before the Sunset.

First magazine reveal was right man, although it a show when the two leads just talked for the whole show with a kissing and flirting, it’s very capitivating and feels very realistic. Realistic as in how a love is supposed to develop an everyday situation making the two meet and talk and slow develop into love. With no dramatizing of love at first of sparks and fireworks kinda of thing. And the movie is NC(16) cos they used the F word like no one’s business. Abit like denise liddat. But I think they used it more appropriately haha… hope denise dun read this.

Another thing, I was thinking of today was the No drinking at MRT station vicinity. It damn weird I guess, no drinking mean that u can’t even drink water right. But then how can, we all need water to live and we do drink water in front of the officers on duty. So they say no soft/coloured drinks are allowed. Den what about alcohol. Vodka is not coloured, it transparent too, does that mean that it’s fine for me drink vodka at MRT station and not coke? weird rite? Okies lar, I just screwing with ur mind cos it’s the holiday and I have nothing better to do YET. Lolz
