The cab driver was damn funny man, not that he was actually funny la it was more of the predicament we were in. Eleanor , Tim , Wei Wen and myself! hahaha Wei Wen + Chinese = epic failure!. Yes , and after that cab ride, i have concluded that girl's are hornier than guys , either that or it's just Eleanor! hahahha she thinks the word "penetrate" is exclusive to sex.

[Origin: 1350–1400; ME vacillacion <>

Alright back from my huge abscence. For those asking about my prolonged drought of blog entries here are the following reasons. My house has been under renovation for the past 28 days or so, and as such i've not gotten the opportunity to consciencelessly pen down my inner inhibitions LOL.

Opinions might differ as to whether TWENTY EIGHT FUCKING DAYS is long or short. Clearly i'm with the former. Where was i staying during these 28 long days you ask? Well because of the lack of rental space available or the unbeliveably high price (i'm not sure which), my mum decided to check into a hotel! Yes in a hotel for 28 days. Some might say, WAH SEH SHAWN DAMN SHIOK SIA! However to me I'd much rather live in the comforts of my own home. I shall explain in greater depth why later on.

First day my parents and I stayed at Trader's Hotel along orchard road. It's a nice hotel with elegant furnishing, decor, good room service and food, but there's something about the scent throughout it's corridors which oddly enough reminds me of the distinctive smell of an SQ747 (which by the way, doesn't sit will with my nose and makes me nauseous!). The restaurant at Trader's was gastronomically exceptional, serving a plethora of seafood dishes ... Mmm Crabs! All that accompanied by an artistically designed pool overlooking the towering bulidings along orchard.

Of course later on we checked in at Paramount Hotel opposite Parkway Parade. However to my dismay it was a stark contrast to Trader's. It's an older hotel and naturally had older furnishings. Though, the room was significantly bigger than the one at orchard. The staff are nice people and is evident they're trying to make the place better. I've not dined at the chinese dim sum restaurant in quite a fair bit and thus would be unjust to past comment. However there was one thing that irked me the most, it was the small circular pool. It's too small to actually take a swim yet alone do my KOWABANGA SPLASH! Seriously though i think they should rename their swimming pool to "Dipping Area"!. With such dismal facilites of course rates were much lower and thus more economically feasible to stay there. Of course there are other factors as well.Paramount is so much more convinient considering it's much closer to my actual house, nearer to my friends and nearer to soccer not to forget school as well!

Alright so i've talked about both hotels i've stayed at now out of sheer boredom i shall list down things i LOVE and LOATHE about staying at hotels and away from home.

So i've more or less covered what i had in mind. Till next time CYA!

LOVE
1. Room service means fresh bed sheets, towels and pillows everyday!
2. Aircon 24/7
3. Cable channels i've never seen before.
4. The 2 bottles of mineral water they place on your table everyday.
5. How i can leave the room in a mess, and come back to it looking clean.
6. Card keys means no keys Woooo!
7. How i can adjust to the exact degree how warm my bath should be.
8. The "Do Not Disturb" sign.
9. Single control panel that controls the whole room.
10. Swimming Pools.
11. That nice housekeeping auntie who gives me 3 fresh towels everyday!

LOATHES
1. Being away from my dog!
2. Because of the 24/7 aircon. My ass will always shiver when i sit on the ceramic toilet seat.
3. No internet connection WTF!
4. No games WTF!
5. No computer WTTTFFF!
6. Being far away from neighbourhood soccer WTF!
7. The boredom of staying in a hotel room beacause there is absolutely nothing to do in that room!
8. NO FOOTBALL CHANNEL WWWWWWWWWWTTTTTTFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!
9. NO STAR SPORTS WWWWWTTTTTFFFFFFF!
10. NO SUPER SPORTS WWWWWWWTTTTTTTFFFFFFF!
11. ESPN IS EXTREMELY BLURRY! WTF !!!!!!!!!!!
12. Walking into an air conditioned room right after a shower.
13. Noisy people who reside next door.
14. The view of Paramount hotel from my room, IT IS ABSOLUTELY SHIT!
15. DID I MENTION NO COMPUTER, NO GAMES, NO INTERNET! WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWTTTTTTTTTTTTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

Unrequitted

Like sand through an hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Still the holidays for me, farely bored and so i decided to check out Jay Chou's new album and song. First impression - OMGWTFGAY. Yeah but i guess as with most of Jie Lun's songs, they grow and slowly but surely will have a profounding effect on you. Sooner or later you will find yourself humming along to his melodramatic tunes on the bus, in the shower and perhaps even in KBox (YES ADMIT IT!). So to prepare for perhaps and unannounced karaoke outing, or to impress people with my oh so wonderful singing potential, i looked up the various lyrics to his plethora of songs.

Browsing through the throngs of songs. My eyes glanced across the lyrics of which bared a seemingly close resemblance to how i feel right now. Of course much of Jay Chou's songs hold a metaphorical meaning rather than a literal one. Listening to the song, reading and truly understanding what it means when i came to its conclusion, upheaved raw emotion erupting in tandem of which intensity could probably cause another earthquake and split Indonesia into two! I broke down on the floor crying like a baby needing its bottle of milk to sleep in peace.

Of course that didn't really happen la hahaha! I guess listening to too much of Jay Chou turns you into a melodramatic person yourself. Although what i said about feeling the song was true!

Naturally you'll have your handful of naysayers who go "SHAWN WTF SIA YOU 1/4FISH 3/4DUCK CHEENA ASS" or "WTF WHY SO EMO MAN". hahahah! LOOK HERE, it's not either of those reasons. Obviously everyone knows its almost impossible for me to ever become cheena with my "extensive" chinese vocabulary. AND i'm in no way shape or form emo, i have never slashed my wrists and i never intend to OK THAT IS ALL! These are just my thoughts at this current point of time! hahah.

刮风这天我试过握着你手
但偏偏雨渐渐
大到我看你不见
还要多久我才能在你身边
等待放晴的那天也许我会比较好一点
从前从前有个人爱你很久
但偏偏风渐渐
把距离吹得好远
好不容易又能再多爱一天
但故事的最后你好像还是说了拜拜

For those Mandarin inclined fret not, ask me and i'll sort of explain best i can what they mean. Hahaha.

Well i guess today's post wasn't really about what's going on in life nowadays. But then again i'm not the kind of person who would blog about what i bought at Zara today that i'm quite pleased about, or the colour of my hair which i think is pretty cool. Nope i'm not that kind of blogger! hahaha.

In other news, ARSENAL ARSENAL ARSENALLLLLLLL WHOOOO FABREGAS! NUMERO CUATRO!

I leave you now with the MV of the song aforementioned, till next time CYA LATER!

Enjoy!

Stretch your limits

Alright so , i havent blogged in almost 2 months. Well mainly due to the fact that it's the holidays and life is more or less dull, but still peppered with some great moments (OH YEAH LAURA! ONLY LIKE THE MOST AMAZING GIRL TO HANG OUT WITH EVER!) . Sorry girls but it's true! hahahhaha

So Arsenal! Yeah Arsenal! Great start to the season they're having. Francesc Fabregas definitely my favourite player on the whole team roster. Many say Arsenal might win the season, but to me it's wayyyyy to early in the season to tell who has the balls (pun) to win the EPL. Of course any ardent Arsenal fan would hope they can carry on their form deep into the season and the Champions League.

Alright so you're sitting there in your chair reading this post right, listening to some song TURN THAT OFF! If you have iTunes or whatever it is people use nowadays, take that out and switch to Umbrella-Rihannna and sing along! Damn if it isn't the most catchiest song ever. SING ALONG NOW!Ella ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh under my umbrella!

During the many hours i'm left to myself at home (No i don't touch myself). I came across a thought. What if you're travelling at half the speed of light , and you turn on the light in your room. Would the beam of light ever hit you? Granted i dont hold a degree in Quantum Physics or know everything about the theory of relativity, being the inquisitive person that i am just had to find out more. One would (and is proven in theories) say that travelling at the speed of light would indeed slow down everything around you and make it seem like time has stopped , or progressed very little in relativity to the people around you ie you age 1 year but your friend 100. So by applying this theory, is it true then to say that if you constantly travel on an airplane flying at 1000km/h frequently, you actually age slower than the people around you? Albeit slower of course, like maybe couple nanoseconds or so. Correct me if i'm wrong. Of course you could find this all out on wikipedia or something, i did , but instead got a crap load of information i didn't need/understand. haha

Okay as i sit here at 3.30am all i can hear running through my mind is ella ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh. So i guess this calls for me to stop here. Check out this video man it's like slapshit funny. Thanks to Shandi for the link!

周杰伦

Alright, back from my 2 month hiatus of blogging. So anyway, as you can imply from the title of this entry JAY CHOU! Today was the Gala premier of his new movie "不能说的秘密".

Reached Cathay Cineleisure with a friend around 530pm to scout the area ahead of Jay's appearance. Even at that time there were already throngs of people gathered around the metal barricade that bordered the red carpet on which Jay would be walking on. So i thought to myself apperance at 7pm still sufficient time to grab a bite. However, before that we stopped by Gramophone to redeem our freebies. As always it was a "WHILE STOCKS LAST" affair. Hence, we were out of luck in getting the Tea Party with Jay Chou. Alas, i guess 'twas not to be, but i didn't expect to get anything anyway.

Combed the area for a good spot to catch jay chou coming in. We found a seat and just stood on it till he came. With the onset of onimous clouds, the evening looked grim. Starting with a drop, then a drizzle, then it started to pour. To most, if not everyone's relief, the rain stopped in a hurry.

The time now is about 8pmish and we've been standing on this small area for the better part of 2 hours. Around this time a YES 93.3FM DJ (forgot her name) came up to warm up the crowd. Hahah if not for the first few rows of respondents i think it's safe to say her efforts were pretty much futile. Everyone's eyes were fixated at the entrance of the red carpet. Not long after, the DJ said Jay and his entourage were at Plaza Singapura, at that moment everyone bar the security guards whipped out their cameraphones, cameras and what have you. A sea of camera's engulfed my vision. Jay arrived in a white mercedes van, DAMN even the driver was giving the thumbs up and smiling to himself! And so he came, with the scream of a thousand puberscent girls,.THERE HE WAS , IN THE FLESH..... THE ONE ... THE ONLY! 周杰伦 !

As calm as ever, he walked down the red carpet, he did not stop to pose for photos, nor for autographs. Within 4 seconds he came and went. But if i had to guess, the closest he came to me was about 3 meters or so. And NO, i didn't get to smell his cologne unfortunately. In fact the air was a stirring mixture of moisture, sweat and saliva. Not exactly pleasent, but not as disgusting as you would imagine. However i'd definitely say it was worth it. With a black shirt and a grey blazer , his hair permanently fixated in place as if sculpted with cement. With every inch of him screaming coolness and suave, YES HE IS JAY CHOU. I probably sound like a girl in love for the first time, hahaha trust me i am no girl neither am i gay. But he does have an overwhelming aura that brushes off you.

Reaching the stage he and Lun Mei are introduced by the DJ. The irony!, as if 周杰伦 ever needed an introduction. To my and most others dismay, he did not perform a song. However, there was some random guy that went up to sing his song "不能说的秘密" the theme song of this movie. Jay played the piano while this other guy sang the song. I think nerves got the better of him, but who wouldn't if you had jay chou playing the piano and you're singing to couple hundred people in the open. His efforts are commendable nevertheless. At the end of the song though, Jay gave his own ring to the guy, saying that he was "gan dong". In my mind i was thinking "that lucky bastard". Further on he played a piano duet with the other lead actress, it was ok i guess. And so it was, face to face with Jay Chou for a good 15 minutes or so. Worth it or not? That's for you to decide!

The movie .... (Dont worry no spoilers la!)

The movie in my opinion was really really good. A really interesting twist to the movie i really would never have guessed! Orginal movie directed by Jay Chou i would expect nothing less. A love story with a twist to summarise. There was this ang moh guy sitting next to my friend, at the end of the movie he even had tears in his eyes LOL. Well if you're wondering what movie to catch next, i'd strongly reccommend this one. In all i'd give it 8/10 just for its story telling alone, truly brilliant.

*Note* Pictures are at max zoom and will appear pixalated.Not much closeups, reason being his swiftness along the red carpet. Some pictures are with a camera , some with a cameraphone, hence size and clarity will vary.

Chio Bu Meter for the day: 2/10. Horrendous would be an understatement here. One would think that jay chou has many pretty hot fans. However this was not the case today. Mostly Chinese Nationals (i have no idea what their talking about), Ah lians who dress as if their screaming for attention. And school girls who look like they just came back from playing basketball during recess.

Piano duet, Jay Chou and Guey Lun Mei. Some random guy singing

Pictures!

dark clouds :(

dark clouds again:((

Braving the heat!

HAHHA GOT YOU THERE BUDDY!

Jie Lun WO AI NI!

Ai jiu shi Ai!

Wan mei de Ai!

Managed to get a snap shot of the lead actress Lun Mei!

Zoomed out view of the stage!

Threesome!

What just happened?

Alright just got back from training in school. The coach made the cut , and for some unfathomable reason i made it into the 15 , as i pen down my thoughts now there are 29 things running through my mind and contemplating what happened just now i still feel more shocked than elated. As the coach put it "seeing your friends walk off just like that is one of the shittiest feelings you can experience", during that point of time i totally felt that way. Perhaps the coach wants to let the freshies get some exposure , perhaps i'm just pro (hahah jk.) whatever it is , i guess he has his reasons.

Looks like its gonna be intensive training from here on out , cause the coach is gonna cut the 15 down to 11 AGAIN , thats right AGAIN! haha .. so i guess it's make or break time.

Anyway a funny story , just now on my way back from school around 10pm this old lady approached me and asked me to tell her when to get down for Eunos MRT directly translated "SMALL BOY , YOU CAN TELL ME WHEN EUNOS MRT TIME? I WANT TO TAKE MRT!". So i was like ... errrrrrrr okay.. A few stops went by and what i thought was the bus stop for Eunos MRT actually wasn't but t'was too late i had already asked her to get down. Eunos MRT is actually the next stop. I only realised that when i passed by the MRT station! I was thinking to myself WHAT THE SHIT! WAH LAO I TOTALLY FEEL DAMN BAD! Oh well , no point crying over spilt milk right?! hahaha but anyway everything looks different at night , mainly due to the fact that I take the bus usually in the day. Hence at night I feel as if I'm in unfamiliar territory!

Mid terms next week and i still feel totally unprepared arghh!!

Oh and by the way , MS JAPAN OR MS KOREA , if somehow you're reading this I WOULD LIKE TO MARRY EITHER OF YOU! ARRIGATO and KOPASUMIDA <3!!>

Till next time CYA!

And so it begins again ...

Hi everyone!

This week marks the chapter of a new semester at TP , which also means the first week for thousands of freshies at TP.

Lectures so far have been pretty good, not really as boring as i had anticipated at first which is great! Having said that , i feel lectures are alot more interesting because of the courses being taught. I find it much more relevant to my future career as compared to say , Geography , Chemistry or Physics. Safe to say i wont be using any of the 3 examples given in Business. (Some might disagree but hey! , to each his own huh?) Hence it this makes you pay more attention in lectures and tutorials because you know what you're learning now , will make you a much more efficient and productive employee when you join the workforce.

Lectures and tutorials nowadays are never a bore with the interesting people in class, so thats great as well! School has been like totally slack as well , like going for lectures at 11 and going home at 1 , the awesomeness...! Or take for instance today i didnt need to go at all cause i had no lectures lol. <3 that!

CCA Fair was this week as well , tons of CCAs! Wish i could join all but alas, i would go crazy doing so. Signed up for Tennis , Tae Kwon Do and Dance(LOL DANCE!). There was this chick that persuaded me to join and she wasnt exactly THE hottest girl la, but still there was something about her that made me go WOW! hahahahha.. so to please her, i just signed up for fun. Under the heading background experience i wrote down CHICKY DANCE and MASS DANCE. So i'm feeling pretty confident, except maybe with the wtf auditions hahah!

Had meals at the Applied Science canteen over these few days, and OMGWTFBBQSAUCE Applied Science's canteen is like a bloody replica of an air-conditioned food court , now i know why there usually aren't many people at the business park lol . Although business is still the best BIZ BIZ BIZ BIZNESS!!! yupp. The food court has like 20+ stalls while business has like 5? WTF?!

To sum it up, the first week of campus life has been great , hopefully it will stay that way! Till next time CYA!

2007-04-21T00:15:00.000+08:00

BIZ BIZ BIZ BIZNESS!!!

Hello all , 2nd day of Tp's business orientation today! Had much more fun compared to yesterday. Early morning lecture followed by meeting with CPs. The "meet the CP session" was funny as hell. I was like laughing the entire lesson la , even when the whole class was silent i kept laughing for like 5 minutes non-stop for some reason. I had to even hide my face behind the monitor. The odd and totally random stuff my classmates say drive me into fits of hysteria. Okay that might be an exagerration but its pretty close to it!

Inter-School event was cool for me. Everyone in their business jerseys brings out a definite sense of unity amongst the business students. WOOT WOOT WOOT had HAWT SLs standing infront of me , and some HAWT girls around the area so i guess that was H-A-W-T and not to mention humid as well! Cheered with a high level of enthusiasm throughout, and as expected my throat felt kinda sore after the event.

Next , proceeded to bedok reservoir for the TP REGATTA. TP totally owns bedok reservoir man , saw the wake boarding demo and i was like totally FWAHAHHA i gotta learn how to do that! Saw abit of the inter - school dragon boating and sad to say, pon-ed the event soon after. I think there was a mass dance/clubbing thing going on but i wasn't fancying that so i guess heading home was the better idea.

To summarise, biz orientation was alright i guess. Opportunities for class bonding were aplenty i guess that was one of the main reasons anyway. Looking forward to studying (rotflmao ya i know, i kid you not!) and CCA selection !

Till next time! A single moment of understanding can flood a whole life with meaning.

Freshies Oei!!!

Hello! Ni hao! Konnichiwa! Annyong-haseyo!

Freshies Oei!! Business Oei!! BSG Oei!! These words still resonating through the canals of my ear , were the most frequently used words throughout the entire day! Thats right! It's Business Orientation at Tp.

First hour of orientation was uber sian to the max , had to wait in the TCC for like an hour waiting for events to initiate. Didn't talk much to the people around me yet , cause everyone was like still uneasy and still withdrawn from each other. However , as the day progressed the shell that everyone wore, slowly diminshed.

The first few thoughts that came to mind as i settled in at the Temasek Convention Centre (TCC) was OMG WTH, I've never EVER seen so many FBTs and super short shorts in a single confined area EVER! That's not to say its a bad thing though! Somehow i feel that the SLs (sort of like group leaders) actually are hotter than the freshmen themselves. BUT that's just me i guess ... hahaha .. Moving on , we had ice breaker games , lunch etc etc. Moved to an indoor sports complex where we learned mass dance which was great fun by the way! Followed by more cheers and cheers and cheers and cheers.

Class allocation was pretty good i guess. There's a nice synergy of guys and gals not too many and no too little either. Everyone seems pretty friendly all around so i guess thats good. Everyone speaks english , so thankfully no cheena people (if you're reading this and feel/think you're cheena , sorry no offence to you).

Basically that sums up my 1st day experience , all in all pretty good i guess. Though at times there were pretty boring moments i would say i still had fun! One of my SLs was quite hot and kind too (when like everyone was feeling hot , she'd go around fanning us with her file! hahah) , so i guess that made it even more enjoyable! hahahaha ...

Till next time , Do or do not there is no try!

2007-04-16T23:56:00.000+08:00

Berry Berry Extraordinary

Hello! Ni Hao! Konnichiwa! Annyong-haseyo!

These past few days have been great fun. Tennis training on Sunday was awesome albeit the agonising heat. I can feel the tennis powers returning hoo hah! Went home, took a quick nap and was off to "hang" with LT.

We went to Vivo for a movie and dinner. Walked around Vivo while waiting for the movie. Got ourselves some Ben and Jerry's. BERRY BERRY EXTRAORDINARY STRAWBERRY SORBET is the <3. I think LT got the normal strawberry sorbet. Having tasted my sorbet she couldn't stop picking at my cup so i was like OMG JUST TAKE MINE LA! hahaha .. walked abit more and realised we were lost like noobs in Vivo , the irony!

Despite my disdain for horror/thriller movies , we watched THE REAPING. That show was good but too creepy for me la , even as i type this i still have goosebumps! Incurred some injuries while watching the movie cuz i got shocked! Hard to imagine but yes injuries do happen in movies! hahaha ..

Almost dined at Marche , but LT was like ... Errr i think FOOD REPUBLIC better la! i was like OMG WHAT?! .. so i was like okay la sui bian sui bian. Had korean KIMCHI RAMEN. After that encounter , i will absolutely and positively 100% chop stamp stay away from korean food at foodcourts urgh..

Accompanied LT through the "dark alleys" of her house, then cabbed my way home. Was so amazingly suay to get a cab driver who doesnt know the way to my area , he only speaks only chinese as well. So i was like WAH LAO WHEY! Thankfully i have an inbuilt GPS system in my head and guided this oblivious driver to my house, after which he then proceeded to give me lectures about how his nephews and nieces and his whole other family only speaks English. So even after reaching my destination i had to wait in the cab for like 2 minutes listening to his story. zZz . Perhaps he knows i'm a good listener? hahahahha.

Later on in the night saw FA CUP : SEMI-FINAL BLACKBURN VS CHELSEA OMG CHELSEA once again made it through with the skin on their teeths. 2nd half blackburn came back on with a positive attitude and a sense of affirmation that they could actually win the tie. But alas , it was not meant to be. A late winner from the left foot of Ballack saw Chelsea through to the finals. For the most part i felt Blackburn might've and shoud've won. Oh well ..

TP's school of business orientation coming up this Thursday and Friday looking forward to it. New friends , new studying enviroment , new everything . haha but for the most part i'll definitely see some old and familiar faces. School's LIKE ON MONDAY ALREADY!!! ARGH!! got like 6 more days of freedom.

Till next time, may your actions speak louder than your words!

2007-04-12T00:07:00.000+08:00

Play then rewind!

Hello! Ni Hao! Konnichiwa! Annyong-haseyo!

Due to popular demand i had to change my blogskin because of the trouble with navigating the blog. DAMMIT LA why do blog skins always look like they're for girls? I mean COME ON LA GUYS BLOG TOO DUH! How am i gonna find a decently designed blogskin for guys , without flowers and pink and butterflies and girls and and and and i could go on forever you know what i mean .. zZz ... looking for a blogskin for a guy is so amazingly ridiculous!

As i pen down my thoughts the first thing that comes to mind is , WTF MANU 7-1 ROMA. Yes any ardent soccer fan would've probably known that result by now. Watched the match and clearly manu were vastly dominant over the mediocre roma. Damn it maybe its time i started supporting manu too man! hahahha..

Anyways these past few days thoughts have been pacing through my head like a zephyr blowing through a desert. It seems i've arrived at a revelation. Some people arent actually who they make themselves out to be. Granted, i might've not known said person well enough to pass judgement, but still i try to. This can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it. In my case i guess its a good thing. Moving on from this emo-ing bullshit.

Life currently feels like a DVD . I press play in the morning , at night rewind , and the next morning play again. hahaha i guess thats what you get when you got too much time on your hands. Well, perhaps this is also partly due to the fact that most of my usual "clique" has gone off to to serve the nation. OKAY ADVERTISEMENT! IF ANYONE OF RESONABLE TENNIS PRO-NESS (E.G /10 YOU'RE LIKE 6-7.5) WANNA PLAY? OR ANYONE WANNA PLAY SOCCER WITH A CRISTIANO RONALDO LIKE PLAYER? PLEASE CONTACT ME! haha alright. Always looking forward to playing at THE CAGE with MPFC people too! Oh! and anyone wanna go jogging along east coast beach in the morning or something? haha losing my physical fitness man!

Recently received the song GIRLFRIEND by Avirl Lavigne , singing along with this song totally makes me feel like a bimbotic girl! Hahaha now at least i know what it sort of feels like eh! hahahha .. Speaking of songs , over the past few days i've uploaded 3 albums from Jay Chou into my mum's ipod and she's already like asking me to sing the songs!(lets just assume i'm a good singer! hahahha) haha i found it damn amusing. I was like "aiyah go google and download his lyrics la" hahhaa .. and like my mum tries to sing along , it completely doesnt sound like the song la! hahahah.. oh man. Okay la better not say so many bad stuff sekali she stumble upon this blog sia , then die man! .. haha

Till next time , CYA!

2007-04-03T03:27:00.000+08:00

The Return!

Hello everyone! New skin, New post , Same old me! Its been an extremely long time since i last posted something like 4-5 months or so. Since the holidays are still going on for me i guess this is something to pass time, and brush up on my english. Writing has always been somewhat of an understated passion of mine and since i probably will never every touch english/literature again i feel this a great avenue to quench some of that passionate thirst lol.

(this will have you craving for more)

(seriously the best steak i've ever had!)

Its 3.30am now as i sit here in silent contemplation of the days that have passed since i last blogged , i can safely say life has been all but boring. Naturally, one would expect life with plenty of ups and downs but for me i think nothing bad has really happened to me as of yet and i really hope it stays that way.

(Australian clouds? lol)

April is upon us and the experiences that of which are known as the "O" levels are still very fresh in my mind. The mugging , stress what have you, still taste like yesterdays breakfast. Results were good enough to get me into my first choice @tp which was highly unexpected, so definitely a high point in life there. Another high was of course going back to Australia in mid February for Chinese New Year did tonsssss of shopping PRADA , CHANEL , ARMANI , LUIS VUTTON. Well not quite lol , more like Billabong , Ripcurl , Quiksilver etc. Turned 17 in march had a fantastic dinner with friends and family. Right now i would say i've been blessed in deed!

(great food great company)

Anyways , moving on to the "real" blogging.

Recently started tennis training at kallang to get back my form (omg PT was tough i still have like muscle aches from the amount of stairs i climbed) , all this in light of tennis trials for temasek poly. Probably wont get in though due to the plethora of talent a single cohorde of pupils will bring , but nevertheless no harm in trying. Even if i dont get in , could always try for Tae-Kwon-Do to which i already hold a black black HIYAAAA! lol ...

Speaking of poly, i'm pretty excited to start school again. I know this sounds odd coming from me lah , but i've been sitting on my ass for the past 5 of so months doing nothing but wasting electricity and spoiling my eyes staring at the monitor. Many people ask "But Shawn why dont you get a job lah!". The answer is simple i couldnt be bothered really .. hahaha .. HOWEVER! There is a real explanation behind all that. If I'm going to work my ass off after i get my degree (hopefully) why on earth would i want to succumb myself to the hardships now. Well , some might argue experience , pocket money , make new friends , look nice in uniform and blah blahb balbah blah!.. but still, there are'nt enough justifiable reasons to do so lol ..

So basically the daily timetable for me right now is using the computer right after waking up around 11am-1pm and doing the usual Msning, Dotaing ,tennising , internet browsing , cnc3ing and tving. Which reminds me of JC friends who're like having recess when i wake up (LOL at you JC people), or something like that. Personally i'd never be able to mug for A levels. The words study and shawn seldom and rarely ever ever ever go together. Even if i did mug extremely hard for A lvls i probably flunk it anyway lol ..

ALRIGHT if you made it till here , you perseverance and tolerance is highly commendable lol. You probably spent a good amount of time reading this , so stare out your window now and do your eye massage. IT HELPS PREVENT MYOPIA! lol .. alright on this note i shall end this and leave you with a GOODBYE!

A Drop Of Gold

The month of december is upon us! This can only mean 1 thing. CHRISTMAS! HOHOHO! yeah definitely looking forward to it! Time is running out for me to choose a present i want for christmas , followed by the unrelentless persuasion of my parents to get it for me haha. Anyways, on to the main subject!

Ah! prom was a blast , had a great time especially in the company of great friends. Everyone decked in their best was truely a sight to behold . ZOMG all the girls .. it's incredible what makeup can do, perhaps i should try sometime. Definitely some seriously HOT (ZOMG! LAURA I LOVE THAT ZARA DRESS HEHEHE!) people around the ballroom. Needless , the event was pretty well put together , considering that everything was planned by a group of students who strived for the prom even in the midst of their Os, it's indeed a commendable effort. Hmmm .. yeah mad props to chian tat , kason , derrick and benjamin for their performance , having the courage to perform like that . The musical montage brought back all the fun times we've shared , you could consider it an /wrist emo moment. uh huh! . After which , we proceeded to cam-whoring which was fun , especially with luke's glasses! haha .. anyways ..

To sum it up , NAS prom '06 was a memorable event , definitely a part of my life that would be hard to forget in the years to come.

Memories

Today was really eventful, hence the long post. Graduation day and the after party woohoo! The day was filled with joy and laughter and the occasional emo tear that brings us to the realisation that this isnt going to last much longer./wrist.

Graduation Day - The usual speach made by the principal and an inspirational one made by an ex student. Sitted with our classes , we waited our turn to collect our "certs". After which, couple of teachers went up on stage to give their own performances, which was a nice touch. THEN! it was our turn , to get on stage to perform. Man, my nerves almost got the better of me, not really used to being on stage. Then again .. who is ..? Lastly, sok lin brought plates which we wrote our name on, then passed it around the class and anyone could write their own personal message to us, and we get to keep the plates. cool stuff!.

Celebrations - Went down to canteen to celebrate Bliss's bday HAPPY BDAY! syaheeda virtually ran all the way home to get the cake for bliss. She was perspiring like siao but her house at the very most only 100M away! LOL girls .. zZz .. sang a happy bday song TWICE IN CHINESE! CHINESE! and started taking pictures, which brings me to my next point. Cam whoring .. yah! didnt really realise the fun in taking so many pics but yah i've been converted! Took like truckloads of pictures , just grab a cam and snap away! Amazingly fun! SNAP SNAP SNAP!(btw im not gay, im metrosexual!) Managed to take THE BEST photo of the day thanks to laura! woot! Then as a class we went out for dinner .. of all places we decided to go to the AIRPORT? At first i thought WTF , then again it made sense, where else can you fit a class .. certainly not orchard so .. yah .. in then end it wasnt as bad as i had imagined it to be.

Partay! - Arrived at the airport, went to T2 for swensens ordered food and then proceeded to Cam Whore more. Awesome! food came with a really pretty waitress as well , everyone was giving each other the look(signaling hot girl). yeah she was . Ate , ate , and ate ICE CREAM ZOMG! and then proceeded to cam whore further. In summary, had a blast of a time! Payed the bill and went out to take some group photos. Then it was time to part ways.

Great times , great memories /wrist.

In short, R6 ownz!

Almost The End

Nothing really interesting happening in my life currently. However today deserves special mention. Mr Hardi Zein, my history teacher, wah he's super cool man. We'll be the last class he's teaching and since our graduation day is next week, he held a little gradutation ceremony for pure hist and elect hist. Individually he called us down and presented us with little envelopes with our names printed in italics on it. It was sealed with wax , and in it was our name on a piece of paper with a motivational phrase and a black and white photo taken with our respective history classes, man that's cool. You dont get that everyday.

Oh well ..prelims over so everyone's mugging their brains out (well .. cept for me). The seconds ticking by to the inevitable end that is which, the post O level celebrations .. i can almost taste the finnish line, and man is it sweeeet .. Anyways .. just some shout outs here .. JASMINE TAN JIEMIN ! YAH YOU! THATS RIGHT YOU!

Man .. ANYONE WANNA PLAY TENNIS!? BRING IT!

Btw added a music player to the blog, with a couple of songs. Enjoy!

This was the phrase in the envelope.

"When there comes the day we reflect upon all that has passed, and wonder why am I here and where does the future lead? Remember that it is you who makes History."

A RealisatioN

These past few days have been total fun, well if u discount the last few prelim papers. going back to pri sch was fun, with Lavina, keane , salvatore and later on adam. although we didnt get to see our past form teachers it was good to see some familiar faces again. not much has changed th0ugh that'll probably be the last time i ever set foot in that compound again. Thinking about it ... four years have gone by significantly fast and soon i'll be stepping into another phase of my life. Whatever it may be, those days of past will nvr be forgotten.

The few days spent with you have brought me to a realisation that true feelings can never be gone and i hope that eventually you'll see it too.EMO /WRIST

ZEE END OF ZEE PATH . START OF ZEE ROAD

ah prelims over! 2 weeks of brainless mugging sure can take its toll on you. cant imagine what will happen as the hours and minutes tick down to the Os! bah ... sian. somehow i'm not anticipating good results at all, and like double you tee eff this prelim. oh well i guess we gotta enjoy, as laura said "LIFE WITHOUT THE BOOKS" for now at least .

2006-08-16T19:50:00.000+08:00

OH NOES DIE LIAO!!!

Prelims just started, totally unprepared. Ah people tell me prelims dont matter if you dont want to go JC, but i feel its a good gauge of your current abilities and how prepared for the Os you really are. Well, if we cant look forward to prelims at least the EPL is starting up again sooooo .......... GOGO ARSENAL!!! YEAH! HUZZAH! aniw .. sat for 1st paper today .. only 19317937219 more to go.
Btw good luck to all sitting for prelims now or in the upcoming weeks!

2006-07-03T03:37:00.000+08:00

As i post this, im typing with one eye closed and half a brain functioning so whatever. MES AMIE FOOTBALLERS .. wewtz FRANCE 1 BRASIL 0, now that's a scoreline we dont often see man Thierry Henry delivered the goods when it mattered most GG HENRY .. haha .. anyways. Saw the England vs Portugal match too, haha those bloody Englishmen cant take penalties even if their lives depended on it. Although i placed $10 on England i wanted portugal to win, cause the bottom line is England did'nt deserve to win, they were outplayed and outmuscled too bad for them. GERMANY VS FRANCE ... a final i'd say fitting for this world cup.

Tooster out

End

Ah so! Arsenal lost to Barcelona .. it was disappointing to say the least. Lehman being sent off , spoiled the whole match. !@#$%^&* that refree la COME ON! It would have been much better to concede a goal and play with 11 man. After the sending off, it was evident Arsenal had to play on the counter. Got the early goal which was great, but Barcelona's constant bombardment of Arsenal's defensive line was just too much. Tired minds, tired legs. Kudos to Arsenal for defending their lead with 10 man for that period of time.
Anyways.. Arsenal will still play in the Champions League next season which is great. Henry has decided to stay and signed a lucrative deal matching that of Ballack at Chelsea. Next season looks bright for Arsenal with players like Fabregas maturing to be great players. With the new Emirates stadium, the future looks bright for Arsenal.
Oh yah btw good luck to all taking MT Os at the end of this month!

-FA Cup Final-
it was like zomgwtfstupidgerrad ... STEVEN GERRAD liverpool's MVP, skipper and mastermind gotta hand it to him la .. he was brilliant. His assists 1st goal 2nd goal and penalty kick .. Brilliance. Not for him liverpool will most likely be crying in their sissy pants all the way home. Whole freakin match full of injuries. Most noticeably was Harewood's left anke, he missed a freakin open goal. I was like omgwtfstupiddumbass, but i mean gotta understand also la he could barely even walk, yet alone take the ball on the volley to score. Intense stuff right till the end. PEPPER RAINER AH! WHOAH! .. either he was on super form or the W.Ham players dont know how to take a penalty. Alas, i think it was the former. Guess the W.Ham dudes arnt used to the pressure of such a match. All in all great match, marvellous goals and definately entertaining. Anyways the BIG ONE! 4 MORE DAYS! .. champs league final ARSENAL VS BARCELONA! omgwtfmatchoftheseasondude! .. yupp .. till then .. kopasuhamida (thats korean for, get ur freakin fat ass of the chair and go exercise NOW!) ..

Emotional Fans!

Woo00!

And no one could ever imagine Arsenal qualifying for the Champs League this season yet along the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINALS. With Arsenal WHOOPING Wigan's behinds , and Spurs Losing To W.Ham, ARSENAL HAVE QUALIFIED ZOMGWTFPEWPEWLAZER AHH!.. COME ON!.. of course this was also the last premeireship game for Dennis Bergkamp who will be sorely missed.
FINAL SALUTE TO HIGHBURY!

Conversation With T.Henry-
As the sun set on the last-ever matchday at Highbury, Thierry Henry was one of the last people to leave the pitch.

His love affair with the stadium began way back on August 7, 1999 when Henry was involved in the Frank Sinclair own goal which clinched victory against Leicester. More than six years later, Henry bid Highbury farewell with a delicate kiss of the turf after completing his hat-trick against Wigan.

“My celebration said it all,” said the ground’s most prolific striker. “I kissed the ground goodbye.”

Having reluctantly walked off the pitch long after most of his team-mates had gone home, Henry explained why the ground was a little more special to the more senior members of the squad.

“I think it's was a bit strange everyone left like that,” he said.

“But at the end of the day I think some of the players in the team are really young and haven't won a lot here, so maybe it was less special for them. “But Dennis [Bergkamp] is still here, I'm still here, Ashley [Cole] was there. People who played a long time here were sitting there enjoying it. Me and Ashley were saying to ourselves ‘we don't want to leave’. Highbury is just a special place.”

But despite the overwhelming nostalgia of the day, Henry exhibited one of the qualities that have elevated him to such star status — his peerless professionalism.

“Party? No. I'm going to go home, to chill - and now I'm definitely starting to think about the Champions League Final,” he said.

Gates of Highbury close for the last time

ENGLAND!

Theo Walcott named in provisional England World Cup squad.Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole also called up for next month's tournament by Sven Goran Eriksson. "I'm excited about Theo Walcott and I can't wait to start working with him," said Sven Goran Eriksson after announcing his squad on Monday

LIFE! (time to bitch and moan)

mid years are up totally feeling the stress its like OMGWTF! so basically i flunked every paper so far, definately not a good sign. Maybe i should take up my friend's advice and hit that uninstall button next to WORLD OF WARCRAFT. sigh ... then again maybe stress might be good for me, considering the total state of relaxation i've been in, stress helps a person function under a pressurising situation.
Anyway .. this week is secret bible week on National Geographic if u have it, i seriously encourage you too watch it. Perhaps this facination with stuff like this started with the controversial book The DaVinci Code (yeah all u nay sayers can stop reading here) The Knights Templar and The Free Masons (believed to be the mordern day templar? and that they control the world secretly) pretty interesting. According to them, The Knights Templar were the ones who found the holy grail .. and today's episode was about APOCALYPSE and the book of REVELATIONS .. those of you who have read the bible know the book of Revelations sort of links to today's mordern society .. and some believe our generation will be the last of our kind. Whether all this is true or not, no one can tell for sure it's really up to personal beliefs and interpretations. (hmmm if the world is gonna end, why am i still studying?)Then again i shan't dwelve to deep into this subject as its a Religion. To each his own.
Back to home news now .. Elections going on now, but seriously man why should we give a SH!T .. PAP's gonna win anyway like they have done for like the past 40 or so years .. Election candidats still ranting on about the GOMEZ ISSUE .. i mean like WTF! its just a freakin file. He's human, and humans do make errors HELLO!

Match Day Analysis - Arsenal vs Liverpool

haha .. wah lao whey song bo! .. Arsenal rocked the pants of liverpool .. i must say, the first goal was absolutely suberb. The pass from fabregas and the finnish from henry brilliant stuff. The equaliser in the 2nd half from Luis Garcia was okay lar, i sorta expected that from liverpool. Liverpool stepped up their game but it wasn't enuff to save them. Haha steven gerrad funny sia the guy, the captain and MVP of liverpool. Aiyo back pass also dunno how to do properly .. he gave the ball to henry and of course it was in the back of the net ... GAME OVER!. In all i feel this was an exciting match, cant wait for the next arsenal match.

The victory takes Arsène Wenger’s side back up to fifth, just two points adrift of Tottenham who currently occupy that fourth and final Champions League place.

Match Day Preview - Arsenal vs Liverpool

On Sunday, Highbury plays host to the victors and the vanquished from this week’s Champions League ties in England .. given arsenal's current champions league form and that 4-0 win over fulham. I'd expect arsenal to win, however liverpool are doing well and i anticipate and exciting match.But Liverpool’s problem is widely known — they do not score enough. They have hit just four goals in their last nine games and only one strike this year has come from a forward. They are yet to score in London this season.

Come On Arsenal!

2006-03-11T01:07:00.000+08:00

OMG of all teams Arsenal Have to face Juventus .. geez why can't we get a team like lyon or benfica .. not to take anything away from them .. well at least we didnt get drawn against Barcelona .. the flip flaps of Ronadinho are just too much for Senderos to handle .. but i strongly believe Arsenal can overcome Juve. Many predicted Arsenal would bow out to Real .. but look what happened! .. as long as Henry keeps fit, arsenal stand a fighting chance ..
- COME ON ARSENAL!
