Take my hand, we're off to NeverNever Land.

28.4.03

alright sch's been open for quite some time hope u guys out there are having fun though the sars situation doesn't seem to be improving too much. saw a teary-eyed girl in the sch canteen today and wondered what was making her so upset... hope she's feeling a little better by now. cheer up everything's gonna be alright! but guys its not all doom and gloom out there, im gonna dedicate this post to the happier things in life (mine, at least).

firstly, man utd remains on top of the premiership table after beating tottenham last night.

second, lana lang is coming home! haha not exactly but yes smallville's back tonight... finally sth to fight off the blues.

lastly, april's coming to an end finally... T.S. Eliot wrote that "April is the cruellest month." Surely there's sth to cheer abt knowing that the worst month of the year's coming to a close. things can only get better from here ppl, they will... no worries.

hey it aint that bad after all right?

anyway today's such's bday... happy 18th bday girl hope u had fun celebrating it =)

here are some cds i've been listening to lately...


Depeche Mode 101: Live at the Pasadena Rose Bowl, June 18th 1988
i practically grew up listening to this cd cos this elder cousin of mine played it constantly when i used to stay over at his place when i was a kid in primary sch... the band's been around for quite some time but some of the tracks aren't too bad seriously. go check out Strangelove, Somebody, and People are People. u'll love it.


The Best of New Order
you guys may recognise them for one of their recent tracks (Brutal Sinned Ego), but new order's come a long way since they first started out, marking out a career filled with all the fame, glamour, scandals and drugs. u guys should go try World, Thieves Like Us, Perfect Kiss and Regret.

hey happy 18th birthday hb... u're legal now brother! it's been only 1 yr since we knew each other but it's been good having u as a friend and bro. we had our fair share of laughs and good times... and i'll bet we'll have a lot more of those coming up. hope our last year in college will be a great one for all of us. the best. =)

guys go get...
50cent - 21 Questions

i'll cut to the chase. henry was so bloody offside during the 2nd goal he scored against man utd. and im sure he intended the first one that went in. he's one arrogant asshole that really disses me off big time. just go take a look at how he celebrates his goals.

that aside, i've got a lot of things raging in my head i wanna get them out of.

when i become a parent in future, im gonna make sure i give my kids the best they can ever have in life. i have to, i choose to. they went through some crap in civics abt being an effective person and test if u're reactive or proactive. apparently "i choose to" is a proactive statement. my take is, we all choose when to be reactive and proactive. usually the latter works, but when all else fails and shit happens, it aint worth it sometimes.

anyway happy good friday ppl, albeit belated. caught Anger Management today. super funny. plus marisa tomei and heather graham were in it... well worth the ticket price! Haha. but nah its a funny movie. then went to ben koh's place. happy 18th bro! u're officially legal but hey it dun matter to u anyway cos u've been legal all along... yeah u know wad i mean. thanks for tonight we all had fun.

k in the meantime gotta get down to some work... it's been awhile and i gotta get into the right kinda frame of mind else im just gonna rot. aint gonna let that happen.
things are going on not too bad but im still feeling pretty damn screwd up inside and i'll live with it. something's missing in life and im not sure what. or maybe its cos there's just too much missing.

damn inverse. im watching the match at 2:30. i havent had a wink of sleep since 6am. after this blog im going down to my cousins place to watch cos we think its gonna be more fun this way. im sure i wont sleep in sch tmr la...

today's a day of highs and lows. remember the history test i missed? i took it today. whopping 3 hrs of brain drain from 1-4. damn tired after that. then went out with kennard n xiaolan (the gay brothers haha! im sure.) and others for dinner and nonsense talking session.. not too bad. haha "neemis" really make us damn inverse man. right i gotta leave my house now ppl... hope u guys wake up in time for the match.

the beach, 10pm on ch 5 tonight

you guys gotta go watch the beach tonight! i watched it way back in sec 2 and its like one of the more inspiring movies i've caught. the idea of utopia really appeals to this washed-out, cynical, negative head of mine.. just go watch its gonna be good..

anyway one more thing, there'll be this point in the movie whereby leo hangs out with 2 american beach bums for quite awhile. look out for what they're wearing... they dun change too much so theres not a lot to look out for haha. i know u guys think im nuts but just look out (and try to remember) the t-shirts they're wearing. will tell u guys why thats impt later on...
in the meantime i gtg... breakdance thingy... been 2 wks since we postponed class cos of sars so yeah. enjoy the movie and do keep a look out haha..

you know yr wkend's gonna be smashing when yr fave team ditches its previous shade of poor showing and snatches an inspiring victory. man utd's title hopes are within sight... though the midweek arsenal match is gonna be the almost a deciding factor in that. let's keep our fingers crossed for the time being.

one thing abt last night was that the team was really damn psyched up... 3 goals in five minutes, 4 goals in ten. and if man utd played this well against real the scoreline would have totally gone our way and not the other. but all the what-ifs dun matter... arsenal will be a tough draw.

conflict

which is worst? man utd losing 3-1 in the champions league or me running a fever of 38.4 deg? it's ironic that while others choose from their luxuries, i can only choose from my miseries. hell yeah i've been hit by a double whammy. i know what's going through yr head now... that dreaded 4-letter word (nope not the one with the letter F). just got back from the doc's (again) and he confirmed it isn't sars... the fever was caused by some other virus. but the news is that i won't be able to take the history exam tmr... don't know if it's good or bad news... but it's just as well i guess. been virtually "immobile" the past 2 days my revision's only half done.

so much for psyching up for history. damned. k i gotta go rest this head of mine. take care stay safe u guys...

i choose the fever to be the worst of the two.

fresh from recluse 08:09 [+]

the blues
im bedridden... well almost. quite sick. aint going sch tmr... doubt i can get through the day.

fresh from recluse 06:32 [+]

a life without toil is no life at all. thats all i wanna say right now.

fresh from recluse 08:51 [+]

well i guess its true when they say a picture paints a thousand words. hope this victory marks the start of a series of good form for the crucial matches to come. aint gonna be easy with arsenal and real but tonights match looked really promising. just the right kinda stuff to motivate my revision...

was at chijmes with sylvester watching the match when we bumped into hanboon, colin them guys. feels great to be spending time with yr brothers. the atmosphere there really beats watching the match alone at home... besides our pleasure was fuelled by the win. im really looking forward to more of such "outings"... oh well, it's all good... =)

jc students return to sch on 9 april 2003, wednesday

well the hols just seem to go on and on. last night yishi was jus lamenting that there'll be no extension of hols. i was actually quite relieved that hols were abt to end. i guess common tests would have to resurrect at a later date. but i got no complaints... this is precisely the kinda break i need to get psyched for history... gonna ace it big time. watch out world...

as the iraq war stops for half-time, SARS seems to continue its attacking form.

sounds like a soccer match haha... sorry guys think im being affected by the england-turkey match last night. u know SARS has become really serious when MY mum becomes psyched up. its the first time she actually refused to allow me out. wanted to go play pool after dinner last night somewhere near my place but she just didnt allow me out. today she actually called me when i was out to remind me to go home early... damn psyched up. sigh jus hope tt hols dun get extended for one more wk... or else we'd be bidding farewell to our dearly beloved june hols..

last night i was shocked but impressed that carrie chong actually played tupac's "changes" as the closing song for p10's late night show. its the fave tupac song of this friend of mine, hope u caught it on air! but im inclined to think tt i was the only insomniac up at that hour. good to know p10's making some effort to play some great tracks... seriously they play too much bubblegum pop shit sometimes.

anyway managed to satisfy my extreme thirst for pool today with kennard and yiying. thrashed them asses as usual... bet they'd be damn psyched up when they see this haha. sorry guys! but seriously damn off, i know theres room to be better but jus dunnoe how.

history's still untouched. must psych up. damned.

(dun be expecting any porno pic here this remains strictly a friendly website meant for everyone in the family)

smallville inspires me. or rather, kristin kreuk inspires me. she's damn pen4 !! Haha. but more than that, its the kinda show tt seems to fulfil every guy's childhood fantasy of being a superhero. reminiscing those ninja turtles, transformers and gi joe days, where i assumed the "superhero" role of fighting shredder and the dreaded crank. those days obviously are gone (unless anyone out there's having a second childhood crisis haha). but surely smallville has brought back some fond memories =) plus... who can resist lana lang? hell yeah!

some superman songs...

Somebody save me, let your warm hands break right through. Somebody save me. I don’t care how you do it. Just stay (stay with me)I made this whole world shine for you... Just stay, stay. C'mon, I’m still waiting for you
Remy Zero - Save Me

I can't stand to fly. I'm not that naive. I'm just out to find. The better part of me. I'm more than a bird. I'm more than a plane. More than some pretty face beside a train. And it's not easy to be me.

But I do know one thing though, bitches, they come they go. Saturday through Sunday, Monday, Monday through Sunday yo. Maybe I’ll love you one day, maybe we’ll someday grow, till then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin’ runway ho.

If i go crazy then will u still call me Superman. If im alive and well, will u be there holding my hand? I'll keep u by my side with my super human might... kryptonite.

alright guys its april fools today but a real lousy one at that cos i haven't been able to trick nobody. sigh april fools would've been fun at RJC. its a real bummer when this has to happen in the "hols". but was kinda satisfied with myself when my friend believed tt sch hols were extended to the 14th this mth! she (dun wanna name nobody there haha) was super super slow, but still i frown at the thought of not being able to irritate more ppl on april fools.... its an even worst feeling when u havent actually been tricked by anyone! sian.

but i had fun today though. went to gerald wu's house with hanboon and colin for tennis haha... played for like 3 hrs! me and hanboon damn psyched up so we decided to play a full tennis match sheesh. didn't have time to even complete it cos we were too tired after wad seemed like forever. it was gd seeing them again cos we havent exactly met up since common tests.

oh yeah. common tests. they didnt actually really die, for now maybe. but history common test is due to resurrect april 8. which is truly great (im sure la) cos i havent really got down to studying it yet. when the hols were announced i was actually damn psyched up to get A for history.. but now a C seems more realistic (or so i hope haha). hate it when tt happens la. mr digression-procrastination is in da house...

anyhow yea i jus got back from outside and im desperately trying to post this before april fools but apparently time and tide wait for no man. my mum jus came into the room demanding i teach her how to use the thermometer she bought.

anyway... went bowling with leslie, tim koo and sebastian chai at night... today's really a new record in the history of being psyched up. i dunnoe how we decided to go bowling. the last time i did that was like sec4? haha for old times' sake. it was damn hilarious cos seb jus keep hitting the drain. and as usual leslie tt cocky ass said he'll convert his surname to mine if he lost to me in one of the rounds.

his name is leslie chen now. ha!

an eventful day, but quite a failure for an april fools. anyhow hope ppl out there had a great day tricking and gettin' tricked. i sure missed out on that. gonna make sure i really do some serious tormenting next yr. till then, later.
