2010

I always forgot to say
How much you need to look forward to the new year ahead
Like how it is gonna be the new decade
2010

And how...........





And Scarlett Johansson~!!!

Plus is that the War Machine??!!!
Iron Man 2 is one of the must-watch already!!!
Mark down the date now in your calendar

And this gotta be the next must-watch too!

Clash of The Titans!
Epic movie setting
Totally out from the game field and into the big screen

Man. You can find a steal or two on the net nowadays
:)

The Triangle Theory

Time for " This week in camp! "

And they say NSF have nothing to talk about.....
=(

Ok
So we talked about Doraemon this week
小叮当 you know?

Talking about this just reminds me of Ms Ng
And I somehow have this vague memory that I didnt wish
her happy birthday this year
Or did I?
But anyways if you are reading this
Then Happy "18th" Birthday to you
Every year is also " 女人十八一朵花 "
:)

Yes, Doraemon is the blue robotic cat from the future

And this is his sister Doraemi

Which I seriously doubt the name

*scratches chin*

So the 1st qns we debated on

Why Doraemon was BLUE in colour?

Different from his sister somemore

Well I was the one who wanted to know the answer

And there was lots of cock answer given

But the only one I felt abit cock but still somehow acceptable is....

The fact that mice bit off Doraemon's ears

Then he chua tio

Thats why he scared until turn blue

>.<

I had a hard time convincing myself though....

=/

And this was the 1st time I heard how Doraemon ended

Nobita or 大雄 as we affectionately know him as

Is the main character in the story

(ok everyone know that)

So there were 2 endings provided by Wen Jun

And it was seriously damn.......scary

The 1st one he said to all of us.....

One day 大雄 woke up

And found that 小叮当 couldnt move anymore

So that means 小叮当 died

So 大雄 was very sad

And he swore to study hard

And in the near future he became a robotic specialist

Created a replica of 小叮当 again

Ok this is nice!

:)

The 2nd one was the scary shit.....

You know 小叮当, 静香，阿福， 肌(?) 安

(静香 is such a nice name!)

All the good friends of 大雄

were.........

ACTUALLY HIS OWN IMAGINATION!!!

Like OMGWTFBBQ?

(haven hear this for a seriously loooooong time)

Because 大雄 is a loser

Then he is just daydreaming everyday

So he came up with his own fantasy characters

Like.........WTF?!

I nearly wanted to choke Wen Jun to death

This is so......disturbing and yet funny at the same time

Had a difficult time trying not to laugh out too loudly

But anyways I went to do some research and found out the truth

The truth about Doraemon's supposedly "ending"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doraemon#Characters

Put some closure to this issue at least
*Phew*

---------------------------------------------------

And my mom was talking to me on Sat
Asking me to go out of the house
Like yet another WTF issue
Hardly got time at home and she wants me out
I think she scared that I become 宅男

So I was speaking to her about my 21st
Then I casually asked if she was gonna get me anything
(anyways I stopped getting anything from her since 12)
(I'm not CARROT boy!!!)

She say can dont get anything for me?
Awwwww

DISAPPOINTED TO THE MAX!

Then I asked about the cycling bike
She said no space to put the bike
=(

Then I say about the Super 4
She say cannot
No 2 ways about it
=(

Then I say about the Vespa
(she wanted to spon me one but somehow it didnt materialise)
And she act blur say no also
=(

Then the last trump card already.....
I asked about the camera
She replied and asked how much
Then I say 1.5 to 2k
So I just asked will support me not
I pay myself somemore

Best reply
"Aiyo you also don't know how to take photos!!!"

ARGH!
H-U-R-T

Hot knife through butter
Twisted somemore

So that somehow roughly concludes my impending 21st
Nothing happening at all
=(

Ok last part
I tell her I go somewhere UPS to eat
And she asked if need to spon or not - $500 enough?
Then I said no need
Best thing she did - Reduce the amount of sponsorship
=(

In the end it became $5
And I never take it anyways
=p

Damn

It feels weird to finish watching 海派甜心 on Fri

Makes me feel so empty on Sat and Sun

=(

Exploring The Same Place

And I went fishing on Sunday

Nah
Not really also
Just wanted to go ride my bicycle to somewhere
Get some beads of perspiration
Listen to the sounds of waves
And just stroll along the sandy beach at Punggol
Some me-time again
:)


Below are a couple of my shots for this little trip

I dont believe so many magazines featured so many
awesome pictures taken at Punggol beach
So I just had to try my luck there
And this time the timing has to be tat correct
Where dusk awaits and the sun gets ready to set
And night starts to fall

And yup the shots are below
Trying to come up with some description or some sort for them
But maybe just posting them up seems good enough already?
I do seriously feel this time the pictures look better
Tons of favourite
Hard time deciding the "picture-of-the-day"
=)

Love the way this looks

How the sky is split into half

Where the dark clouds seems to close in on the brighter ones

Like evil forces overwhelming the good heroes

The onrushing wave came crushing down on my camera

Had to do a smash-and-grab

With the minute details of industries in the background

Coupled with the bluish sky

And some rocks in the foreground

Saw this fisherman too

Trying to do his stuff

But aiya, somehow this could have been better

=(

So many shots I seen

With the rocks as the foreground

And I try to do a similar one too

With the industrial estates behind too

Exact idea as many other photographers

I somehow just like this one a lot

Like a lot a lot that kind of "a lot"

How the sky looks so vast and wide

With minimal details in the picture

Thus focusing on how the sky looks even more

And the sky just looks damn GOOD!

Some other interesting finds I obtained

What are you doing here 二师兄!?

(See the pair of RED shoes being blurred out in the background?

Thats mine and I like the depth-of-field captured here)

And Pineapple?

Not bad la

The composition is good

=)

Of cuz

" Take nothings but photographs

Leave nothing but footprints behind "

Albeit a bit too big with some decorations too

=p

And lastly after some internal struggles

Came to a decision on the "picture-of-the-day"

Tada!
The "Picture-Of-The-Day" from Punggol beach again

Like the dark silhouette formed against the fisherman
How he stands in the water among the rocks
With fishing rod angled
Making up the foreground
And the redish-orange coloured sky
At that exact moment where its not too bright nor too dark
And the clouds still look white and fluffy
Plus the currents/ripples of the gentle water
All sums up to my favourite for the day

What I was looking for
Satisfied
:)

爱情故事 Part 3: 触电

The attention-screaming killer red heels
































That exquisite kind of hairstyle tied into a ponytail































The angelic yet sweet and pleasant-looking face




































Topping it off with a trademark horizontal V twist


Picture perfect
:)


-------------------------------------------------


一切是如此的不可思议

如果不是尝过苦涩的滋味

我想我不会发现

你早已悄悄的在我的心中

注入了一口甜蜜



。。。这是触动的感觉

Jingle bells~
Jingle bells~
Jingle all the way~

And the whole town looks set to be bathed in spectecular lightings

2009 is coming to an end
How fast when it seems like I had just only turned 20 the day before

2009
How was it a year for you?
Fruitful?
Delightful?
Or just plain simply wonderful?

2009
As the year draws to an end
Its where all the good shows come out
All the nice songs got compiled
And where the party for X'mas get started

-----------------------------------------------

I alighted at Somerset
Received a call
And..........asked for direction

MK: " Eh where are you? "
YJ: " Eh HELLO! I'm....like lost in town leh! "
" Where am I sia? "
" Why got new shopping centre? "
" How to get out from here to Cine? "

Yes indeed
I came out from Somerset MRT
And stared into some place which I had no idea it existed
Noob shit
Zzz~

Anyways, the new shopping centre looks the same to me
HAHA!
313@Somerset sounds like some gang number or gang name
Ok it had a Hello Kitty store which is exclusively Hello Kitty
And I think that is kinda of a concept shop compared to just....
Billabong or Forever21 or some other shops

Hmmm
Just kinda lost in town I guess
And I dont feel any X'masive feeling in town leh
A lot of ppl window shopping
But.....just a lot of ppl la
And going to town means meeting some familiar faces here and there

Anyways caught 风云II
Was utterly disappointed at the movie
The 10-years wait was just some directors jumping on the bandwagon
Of creating franchise out of movies that were hugely successful in the 1st place

The good things I can point out?

- The theme song sang by Aaron Kwok and Ekin Cheng
- Aaron Kwok himself (Mr Fitness!!!)
- Some special effects (now which movies no special effects?)
- The sword scene (无名 using 悲痛莫名against 步警云)
- 绝世好剑 (who dont love the legendary sword?)
- The anticipation built in the 1st scene (only to be horribly destroyed)
- And the movie's only saving grace: Charlene

And that says a lot
It was a full house nonetheless
Nearly couldnt get any tix
But based on a fan who absolutely loves 风云 I
I walked out of the cinema
Thinking I was letdown by such a.....lousy movie sia
Haiz...
And I thought it could bet 2012 to become my favourite movie of the year
Now its left to 十月围城 to help to kick 2012 butt
Another big-cast movie which is highly anticipated

But I hereby declare 2012 as my favourite movie of the year!!!
:)

------------------------------------------------

These 2 bookouts lately left me with plenty of me-time
And I thoroughly felt so.....good with this self time
Whereby I get to sit in front of the computer
Watching show or surfing net for info
Laying down on the sofa watching tv
Acting like a couch potato and waiting for soccer to start
Drop dead on the bed and stare at the ceiling
While blasting awesome songs from my laptop
I like times like this
=D

Anyways I came across some new songs lately
And yes the 歌词 is very very powerful
And meaningful lyrics always capture my attention
Coupled with the great singing skills of the singer
Awwww

Sorry but I'm mainly listening to Chinese songs
And here are some good ones

罗志祥 - 爱不单行 & 生理时钟
杨丞琳 - 雨爱 (FAVOURITE!)
林宥嘉 - 说谎
蔡旻佑 - 寂寞，好了

And this is the current hit that is constantly being repeated

卓文萱 - 一秒也好



The lyrics is oh-my-god
Plus this time her voice is just.....haunting (?)
I just keep on repeating this song for like 800 times
Sorry bias
:)

张惠妹 - 掉了



Did I say 张惠妹 is one the best songstress I admire?
The ownage vocals is just mind-blowing to say the least
And with the lyrics everytime (as usual)
Plus this time she pull off the 阿密特 image
Gothic and evil yet powerful at the same time
" 掉了 " gotta be my favourite in 2009
:)

Reality

Is only the Friday the night before
No dinner
MRT jam-packed with hustlers and bustlers from after-office hours
Slept little
Sweat a lot
Best thing that happened?
Took the wrong shuttle bus and ended up the most Western part of SG
Was supposed to be at CCK instead of Boon Lay

What the fuck seriously?

Came home
Saw plenty of emails
And then came hell lots of problems
Spend time clearing shit
Without even clearing my bag from camp
Never bath
Never eat
Do until freaking pissed then go cool down with a bath
Cant get kakis for late night meal while clearing shit
Agony

Whats the world coming to?

----------------------------------------------

Seriously
As time goes on and one grows older
One cant help but wonder about his future

Being talking to all the Army guys since NS Day 1
Shared plenty of work experience
Exchanged tales of what one did in their youth days
That was way before we wore green
It was easy to strike a conversation
SG only had 5 polys what

However
A lot of ppl now have their tails clipped between their legs
Meaning they are regretting what they have done

Talking about what they want to do after ORD
Studies?
Work?
What else can you do?
Go holiday then come home shake leg wait for parents feed?

20+ years old still cant even think about your dear old parents
Shame on anyone who still need parents nowadays
Calling home and asking Pops and Mom to clear your shit

Coming back to the future part
A lot of the guys relate back to their studying days
Whereby they bragged about not going to school
Pon here pon there
Tutorials or what no need go
Ask ppl tap card stay at home sleep etc

At the end day
99.99% are regretting it
(a bit exaggerating but.....)
Saying they should have done well in Year 1
Then wouldnt have lousy grades
Cant get into local university or what
Appeal tio reject
Wait for miracles etc
Furthermore a lot of them are capable ppl in the 1st place

Life certainly teaches one how to fall isnt it?

I'm not saying that I did very well or haolian
But I'm definitely not the 1st one to say out my results
Like I mention
It's always a sharing session among us
And there are plenty of very zai ppl out there
But its just that the ppl regretting their own initial moment of madness
Are now just way overtipping the scale in their favour

" Are grades all that matter? "
There is the ultimate qns that no one can avoid

Izzit the cert?
The GPA? (for both poly and uni alike)

If the GPA is not there
Then no such thing of worrying about "the future" then

Yes, we have come to grow up in a society
That we cant run away from the ever-mounting pressure of doing well

Generation Y, We are
Where neighbourhood primary schools are a thing of the past
Where ppl queue up, volunteer, check on HDB radius to school
Appeal and wait for the magical lottery number to be called
For their kids to be enrolled

What's this?

Xinmin has always been a "neighbourhood school" too
The reason I chose XMS was becuz it was 10mins walking distance
And I think XMS provided me with plenty of friends that I'm gonna keep for life
For such a wonderful environment to spend my teenage years

Sidenote though
I always though Xinmin grads can do well in the future
But sadly reality has proven me wrong
However I'm still glad that XMS grads (majority) are doing good

And yes back to the studies and results and future issue
And yes Gen Y, We Are
Gen Y, 1980s-1990s ppl
Ppl who do things with reasoning
Ppl who like to enjoy life
Who taste sweetness before bitter
Like to challenge the impossible
Or authority in many other cases

Have we come to this stage
Whereby we are succumbing to the pressure cooker environment?
Ppl my age should be thinking about this some way or another I guess?

The pressure cooker environment
Whereby everyone of us is expected to do well
Whereby articles showcase parents guilty of 'overparenting'
Where kids go for countless enrichment
To learn to swim, play piano, play table tennis, study, write calligraphy etc
Isnt all tat supposed to be interest?
Sadly sports is another thing whereby when one has to excel
One need to have the ultimate ideal condition
“ 天 - 时 - 地 - 理”
Not only for sports, but for a lot of other things too

That day my aunt said to me

"I dont need my daughter to be like you
She doesnt have to be so clever and so hardworking
I want her to have good character...."

And of cuz tons of other things too
HTHT

I admit sometimes I'm guilty of wanting to do well
Whereby I place overemphasis on doing well
On working hard and harder and hardest to achieve "it"
I also admit to having bad temper
But come on
If the last thing you wanna insult me is my determination to work hard
Plz dont do that
I'm not clever I always say till this date
I just work hard
But another thing I make up for my lack of IQ
Is my EQ in dealing with ppl

And I think me as a friend
I rate myself "highly"
赴汤蹈火
上刀山
下油锅
Everything I can help I will go all out
Of cuz there's biasness in on my side for any ppl I help
Character-wise I think I should be graded "not bad"
For my human being report book that is

But aiya sidetrack too much

Yes the grades
Izzit all that matters?
What's your stand?
And WHERE DO YOU STAND?

On Facebook I saw Dorcas at Old Trafford
How I wish I was there too
How I wish I can go overseas for studies
How I wish I have a fully-spon scholarship or something
Expenses fully-paid-for

And yes I thought about it
Spoke to my Bro about it
But there's just too many things that....
Aiya, at the end day
I dont think that is possible too
But I still harbour the slightest thought of going to M.I.T
(the only overseas uni that is the most related to my subject matter)

Ok talk too much
This post seemed endless
Shall go do other stuff rather...

爱情故事 Part 2: 情诗，情思

如何让你遇见我
在这最美丽的时刻

为这。。。

我已在佛前求了500年
求他让我们结一段尘缘

佛于是他把我化作一棵树
长在你必经的路旁

阳光下
慎重的
开满了花
朵朵都是我前世的盼望

当你走近 ，
请你细听

那颤抖的叶
是我等待的热情

而当你终于无视的走过
在你身后落了一地的。。。

朋友啊 。。。
那不是花瓣

是我凋零的心 。。。。

情诗，情思
