and so the year ends. ah. it's around 10:15 now... sad to see this year end. but this year was filled with sad/bad events and many deaths. like the second iraq war, the deadliest earthquake this decade and a few others. sad...

today, new year's eve.

woke up real late at 1 pm. yay. had breakfast at 1 pm, lunch at 3 and dinner at 8. i'm so bloody bloated. :( went to eugene's house. we finally found the hunter helicopter. yay. it's so cool. boom boom boom!!! played other games like championship manager and empires. yay

i decided not to go to the church countdown thing because i thought all my friends were not going, but in the end they went. haiz... anyway. it's about 10:30 now. 1 and a half hours to 2004!!! WOOT!!!

note: i have decided arwen is nicer/better than eowyn because

1) she went for aragorn first

2) eowyn's the jealous one

3) she's an elf

4) she prettier than eowyn

and of course, legolas is better than aragorn because

1) he's the king of the elfs

2) he's neater than aragorn

3) archers are better than swordsmen

but he's a prettyboy as nicole would call it.


a moment in time.

"i am content. for my wishes have been fulfilled. i ask for no more. only one final prayer that next year will be better than this year."

we (me, nicole, amanda, shi bao, jeremy, visakan and derrick) watched the lord of the rings: the return of the king today. oh yeah. finally. WOOHOO!!! but no movie "trip" is complete without wasting the commercial time at the arcade. air hockey+time crisis 2= lousy combination. it shoudl be more like air hockey+daytona/PODRACING!!! anwyay. we were kinda late for the start of the commercials. missing out on the now-famous gastby hair-clapping thing. i wonder what's so appealing about it. if it even is appealing...

*minor spoilers alert*

the movie got to a good start with a so called prelude thing of the my preciousss guy called gollum/smeagol killing his friend on his brithday for his new found precious. nice one. note: me and derrick noticed amanda freaking out. ok. so the smeagol turning into gollum was kinda gross. he looked like some kind of mutated baby. which ain't cute. :( poor gollum.

the battles were real nice. nice. that's what makes me think the return of the king is the best of all three. the arrows, elephants. and the army of the dead. they can't die!!! that's so cool. and i like the look on frodo's face when he gets possessed by the ring. woah. preciousssssss...

shelob was cool too. and the spider web was real nice. but how did they make it? can't possibly be glue. haha. amanda was freaking out everytime shelob tried to eat the hobbits. haha. the light thingy of galadriel was nice. like some kind of gandalf imitation. haha. oh well. i think the battle scenes were better than those in the matrix.

hmmm... maybe it's because i had never even read the book before i watched the movie which made it so much better. helm's deep was cool. yeah. but the return of the king has like 3 major battles. woah. the last part of the movie was real nice. mount doom and the final battle and the farewell was good. the farewell was sad.

anyone noticed the handwriting in frodo/bilbo's book? it's nice... cursive thing like a celtic font. i think it's celtic. and the tengwar alphabet thing is nice too. overall, it's one heck of a nice movie.

*minor "spoilers" end*

after the movie, we stayed for a while more to see the nice credits thing, until we went out and headed for the toilets. have you ever tried drinking two large cups of liquid and holding it for 3 and a half hours? it just went numb. ill never do that again. should have followed visa's advice to go halfway through the movie.

anyway, after a long piss in the bathroom, we headed to the arcade for one last round of games for the year. i lost to shi bao in air hockey. 13-12. of course, his dear nicole helped him. not fair isn't it. hmmph. oh well. at leats he got his well deserved victory at long last.

then me, amanda, nicole and derrick left the other three -sick- boys and bought chicken drumsticks. we headed for the interchange, while nicole went to the mrt to go home. on the way i saw sharan and i said hi and suddenly amanda screamed and stuff. so oblivious to sharan. haiz... oh well. after confusing me for a while, we all went home. i took 293 with amanda. for the first time we said nothing to each other on the bus. how weird.

and so the end draws near. another long year has passed. this year had many firsts. i tried many foods for the first time. some nice ones are the japanese soft-shelled crab, and crepes with ice cream. mmm... crepes are so tasty... for the first time i experienced a broken heart, and for the first time i could hold back tears of pain and joy.

this year had many great achievements, with few academic failures for me. but these few failures has caused me a downfall at the last minute. they occured during the last few exams. especially the 69 mark i got for history. it was the last thing standing that would keep me from dropping below the lines. but achievements like nsw sci and chinese were to keep me from giving up.

i give up too easily. too weak, if i may say so myself. but next year i'll try. try to be strong and have more hope. more to come in the year ahead, good and bad. now i can only wait until new year's day...

just woke up from my "beauty" sleep. argh. its like 10. missed dinner. argh. anyway, here's the entry thing:

yay!!! today=fun and tiring day=which isn't so fun at all. yayayay. zhi wen called me at 9am, which is bloody early for a saturday, but i had no choice because i called darren and he was screaming at me to go. argh. stupid git. *zhi wen actually woke up at 630 (!!!)* amanda, abel, and some dhs/shps girl called stella were there too. sharan came too. we played till like lunch time. today wasn't a good day for playing. i didn't score as well as usual, which still sucks. actually i forgot what we played. oh yes. volleyball. i won abel. :S oh well.

after sulking for a few minutes, abel was forced to go home. poor thing. then we ate at YOSHINOYA!!!! YOSHINOYA!!! yummy! beef bowl. and soya milk. the soya milk there is real good. and the beef is still the best tasting. so long and stringy, like noodles! mmm... *stops ranting* anyway. after a nice lunch at yoshinoya, we met joanne and her sis, lynn, and good old darren tried to decide whether to buy a volleyball. if i were him, i would have bought it straight away.

but NOOOOOOOOOO, he took an hour to decide, and in the end he decided not to buy. argh. he's getting more like a girl each day. poor thing. we met sharan's new friend called matthew. he's a nice guy. haha. after trying to decide what to do, we went back to the bball court and all played stuff. darren and joanne "taught" us a new "game". some volleysquash thing. a few points i've got to make. it can really hurt you hand. and is most dangerous to passer bys like me. but its quite fun. if you're not the one who gets hit. haha.

we all played basketball. yayayay. i shot only like twice, and i actually scored twice. and they're were quite good shots if i might say, because both were 2 pointers, and i was being marked by amanda or darren. another point here. lynn can run real fast, and she's got a lot of stamina. i wonder where she gets that energy from. serious. she made me run the whole court just to get unmarked by her. after that i scored. yay. i wish i had so much stamina.

yayayay. sorry ive been ranting bout lord of the rings all day. i'll stop. or rather try too. just let me get the last 2 things i want for the hols. watch lord of the rings, and get the poker cards thing. which should be fulfilled by black tuesday.

lyrics to my current fave song:

"Heal" - Westlife

[Kian:]
Even though you're near me
I need you far away
To be an ocean
To build another way

[Bryan:]
I'll be broken
And I know it
But I just can't seem to find
Another way

[All:]
Though you want to
Though you try to
You can't stop the rain
For the first time
It's not you
Who can heal me

[Bryan:]
I need some distance
To find another road
It's not so easy
Sorrow, such a heavy load

[Nicky:]
I'll be broken
And I show it
But I'm gonna have to live
Without you here

[All:]
Though you want to
Though you try to
You can't stop the rain
For the first time
It's not you
Who can heal me

[Shane:]
Poets say
As time's a case
A broken souls were mend
But you would come around again
So my sorrow's gonna end

[Mark:]
But it's not you...
Heal me...
But it's not you...
Heal me...

[All (Shane):]
Though you want to (though you want to)
Though you try to (thought you try to)
You can't stop the rain
For the first time
It's not you
Who can heal me

Though you want to (though you want to)
Though you try to (thought you try to)
You can't stop the rain
For the first time
It's not you
Who can heal me
Heal me

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2!!!

(note: i believe the black stuff in the bathroom wasn't grime. it's something worse. much worse. something like lizard poo? ew.)

DAY TWO

after the "sunrise", we all went back to the chalet, had breakfast, chatted for a while, played many games of polar bear, then free time started. WOOT!!! after much persuasion, i eventually gave in and went swimming with visa, js, darr, wq, bor ray and gabriel. the water was so bloody cold. but we soon got used to it. swam and swam until amanda and sharan came. somehow, visakan got sharan's hp. then he teased her and passed it to eveyone else until someone gave it back to her. haha. (sorry shaz)

after trying to pull the girls into the pool, we swam for a bit more, and tried to hold our breaths for the longest time then got out of the pool. we forced the two girls to go up to the bedroom, then started stripping. :S after screaming at wen quan to get out of the bath, i went into the unhygenic bathroom...*shall not say anything*...got out, changed and we all went for lunch at downtown east again.

me, amanda, darren and sharan tried out the foodcourt. me and darr tried to get amanda and sharan to eat something. i just took some herbal soup thing which darren said was really nice. amanda n darren had BEEF NOODLES!!!! i love beef noodles... sharan drank a cup of soya bean. :|

after we ate, darren mixed up everything into some "healthy" herbal drink. which turned out to be the total opposite of "healthy". (sharan was saying something about me talking about being healthy the whole day i.e. herbal soup, herbal braised beef etc :S) we then visited the suckiest arcade ever. i gave them two credits to play some lame soft toy game, then went racing at one of the spoilt daytona machines. went shooting and played one game of air hockey with shi bao. WON HIM AGAIN!!! now he knows im better than him. haha.

then we went biking and rollerblading again. until about 5pm, then went back to the chalet to start the bbq. YAY!!! bbq was so fun. fun, but could have given all of us stomachaches. all the meat i took was burnt outside and half-raw inside. :( at least i was kinda immune to it. raw crabsticks, hot dogs and chicken wings with the blood still intact, and rather pale otah went into my unsuspecting innocent tummy. haiz.

by that time, i couldn't think properly. my mind felt kinda light, and fuzzy. :S serious. :( the marshmallow burning/roasting/heating started. i took only 5. i constantly heated them till they caught fire and carbonized. haha. so funky. then a few of us (the boys) started playing with fire, throwing marshmallows into the fire and watched them bubble up and melted into black liquid. sick. just sick. we all had cocktail and sparkling juice and log cake for dessert. yay!!! it was nice. yummy.

we all watched phua chu kang and living with lydia and had a good laugh. haha. comedies are good. after quite a few people (and most girls) went home, a nice lame but funny movie called "dude, where's my car" started and we all watched it. quote: "we are not guys, we are hot chicks with big orange breasts" haha. so sick. "this is how blind people shake hands" haha. after having a good laugh, me, darren, wen quan, js, gabriel, bor ray, jing yang, sam low and a couple i might have forgotten went to bed. i slept in a tiny space at the side of the bed.

i woke up in the middle of the night after gab pushed me off the bed. haha. i went down to sleep on the mattress with visa instead. js was somehow gone. weird... *a few hours passed* i woke up with everyone looking at me. so weird. i think it was like 830. hm... we just sat around, "panda-eyed" and then eventually got gold of our senses. a few of the others went swimming. i just stayed around. then my parents came to check out and everyone wnet to lan gaming at some place called raiders.

i went to century sqaure with my parents and played at the arcade till i took bus 291 back home. home sweet home. after preparing for a good bath, i fell asleep instead. when i woke up at 630, my mum gave me some mashed potato with some mashed meat stuff and mussels. yummm... then we went to church. *details in the previous entry*

anyway, merry and blessed christmas to everyone!!! i do love christmas. im going for a christmas dinner tonight. YUMMY!!!


a moment in time.
11:36



MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

just came back from church. before i go on ranting about the class gathering, i shall start with the christmas performance etc. woke up at 6pm after i returned from century square, because i was so bloody tired after two nights of minimal sleep. anyway... dinner. dinner was some chinese 9 course meal in the new church building which isn't new at all. abalone is nice. but sometimes i hate it. :S. the jellyfish was nice too. when you slurp at it, it sounds like you're drinking a slurpie.

the performance was really nice. pulau ubin, a weird smiling angel gabriel guy, a rich women killed by a falling coconut... etc. yay!!! the vocals and singing were really good. well done guys! countdown was fun too... met a lot of old frens there... yay!!! so happie!!!! i'm going crazy. maybe it's because of the wine. wine=hot. :S

anyway, here's stuff about the chalet:::

DAY ONE

wakes up real excited. ok. i didn't sleep. sleep until 3-5, then woke up beacuse i had a really weird dream (ie. i dreamt i had grown armpit hair as long as sharan/nicole's hair :S) i couldn't really sleep after that. then met darren and js at the void deck. they were looking very weird. after collecting lots (and i mean lots) of stuff from amanda's house, we headed for js's bus stop, or rather the bus stop outside jeremy's house to collect yuhui. collect sounds rather weird. pick up is better. yeah. we went to pick up yuhui.

when she got in the car, the car filled with a nauseating stench of inedible bread. then we found out the horrid truth. somehow yuhui had bananas baked in butter or somethign like that. but it was still butter and bananas mixed together, which isn't too appetising. the butter ahd melted and just created a yucky mess/mass of banana flavoured butter. ew.. when we got to costa sands, we just threw the damn thing away. EW. no one would want to see it. it was like yellow diarrhea with big yellow blobs. ok. ill stop.

after making a trip to white sands and back, everyone was ready for the so called free time we were giving them. a few went bowling, a few just stayed and i went biking. the others went roller blading and xin hui, victor, yong han and some others i forgot follwed me biking. it was fun. i didn't fall down. i really pity those who went skating. they fell down. :( poor guys. that's one of the reasons i'm determined not to try roller blading.)

we all played volleyball at the beach. after crossing a mudfield, a few of us had to take off our sandals. EW. the sand was oily. i think it's crude oil. yuck. i had to bear with it, and just played. i played average. haiz. amanda and darren are so much better. it was quite fun. after a rest and a can of coffee, i went into the bathroom for the very first time and realised the second horr-gi-ble truth.

xinhui had claimed that the toilet was dusty. i would say it was black. EWWWW. the floor was covered with weird grime stuff and other stuff i wouldn't want to be thinking about now. :( but i had no choice. so i took a very quick bath (although i think it made me dirtier, or my feet at least) and then went out with the others for dinner at downtown east.

we ate at burger king then i went to the arcade with the plc bunch. the arcade totally sucks. the machines are half spoilt or damaged in some way, and the games are more expensive than i have ever seen. i think downtown east is just there to take advantage of unsuspecting tourists. the only game i think was worth playing was daytona because it was only 55 cents a game.

i won one race with jun ting and one withn wen quan and didn't lose any. then i played my fave gun game and only got to captain because the aiming system was so screwed. i also won both table/air hockey games with shi bao. he was determined to beat me the next day. haha. but he still lost on the 23rd.

anyway, me sb n wq walked back to the chalet in dark, spooky conditions and the both of them tried to scare me a few times but failed. haha. i'm just too fast for them. haha. then a few of us played bball and capt ball. YAY. i didn't miss a shot. phew. but i took only 5. hmmm. then we felt real tired and went back to the chalet. (after my second can of coffee...hope i'm not addicted...)

we played uno, watched a few shows until the so called bedtime at 12. quite a lot of people slept in the bedroom. amanda, zhi wen, darren, nicole, joanne, xin hui, victor, prsicilla, wen quan, yuhui, sharan and guan yu. (sorry if i left anyone out). the others spent the whole night playing grand theft auto 3. and i mean it. when we woke up in the morning, they were still playing. ADDICTED. crazy man. like from the start of free time until morn. thats like 18 hours. woah. visakan must be blind by now. so anyway, it was 12.

then the nocturnal entertainment" started. we all played polar bear, some weird game amanda suggested. it was rather fun. yay. then at about 330, we all tried to sleep unsuccessfully. the only three which i think actually got some proper sleep were the 3 "sleeping beauties": darren, wen quan and guan yu. they were also the only 3 who snored and kept everyone else awake. and also teh only 3 who could ingore the bloody siren that came from gta3 throughout the whole night.

i managed to catch an hour of sleep. then it was 630 and we all went to watch the sunrise. it sucked. (sorry guys, i didn't mean to wake everyone up) horrible truth 3: you can never view true scenery in singapore. it's a damn concrete jungle out there. sad. so we just waited and saw the sky brighten. but at least we saw the day start.

(note: i shall continue tomorrow. it's like 2am now. and i'm rather tired from the lack of sleep. cya guys)

i went for lunch with a few of my church friends at parkway parade. kfc. ARGHHH. i'm start to get sick of kfc. it's so oily, fatty and the chicken is so dry. but why do i eat it? because everyone forces me to. "oh mark, you're so thin now" "you better eat more". haiz... im not even underweight lor... so anyway, after colonel's special, we went to the arcade.

on the way, i stopped by the cd shop. and bought one part of my chirstmas gifts: turnaround by westlife... finally. (the other part is 50 dollars cash) after days of relentless rantings about it, i finally have it. yay. it's so nice. the songs are nice. no crap heavy metal and that kind of stuff. yay! at the arcade, i challenged three of them 2 times to podracing. and naturally i won. :P im still champ. i don't think anyone has beaten me. yay. but it's rather hard to finish the whole race. but i managed to 3 times. yay.

the rest of the day was a whole messed up situation with amanda. finally we sorted things out. *hope the class gat is real fun*.

went to jun ting's house after eds soveunir-making (if that's how you spell it) for plc meeting. (plc= pokemon league club, a lame club which members don't even like pokemon.) i played with bor ray and jun ting jedi knight ii, while the others were all playign pokemon tcg. it was quite fun. jk2 is hilarious. SAI JUMP!!! ok... anyway, i gtg now.

Thursday, December 18, 2003

after much persuasion by darren, while eds was forcing me to go bowling with them, i finally gave in to darren. when i reached nicole's house, i went into the room, and nearly stepped on marc, who was playing with some weird lego thing, and scattered around him were aeroplane books. weird. nicole was screaming at lydia, and darren was doing the emode iq test. ooook. it was much of a chaos. sort of.

then i made avery big mistake, i told them my iq. which is 140. which i thought was very low. then suddenly nicole and darren were screaming at me, and started to call me some professor 140 and stuff. nicole was screaming that she was stupider than me as her iq was lower, and darren also got lower than me, and then they were telling me this kind of tests were not accurate, as i can see perfectly well from our psle scores. but they were still calling me a genius and that kind of stuff. weird. everyone was acting weird today.

a few things to point out. firstly, nicole's winamp skin is very, very cute. haha. really. and her printer is very fast too. like a laser printer. but the fact that it relies on separate ink cartridges, which are rather expensive, is not a good thing. yeah. thirdly, i think the game marc forced me to play with him, which is some mouse game, is very difficult to win with 6 dices used. i think this is some advice he should take. no more than one dice. it's sorta like snake and ladders. so you get my point.

we watched home run during lunch. it's a touching show, but not enough to make me cry. but it's a good production. and a bit humourous too. the concept and allusions are really good too. like one part can be compared to the malaysia-singapore water agreement. but i shan't give away the storyline. after watching them play the piano, pack up and get out of the house, we all headed for tampines mall to meet amanda.

outside the bus it was raining, inside there was aircon. so there were weird lines on the windows. then darren noticed that there were chinese characters forming. and yes indeed. soon we found enough chinese words to fill at least half a page of compo paper. weird. then we got to talking about mr kiw and his antics. :S. finally we got to amanda.

the rest of the day was buying food for the class gathering, lugging it all over the place, and i finally good home with my fingers sore. sad.

now i've got some stuff to clear up. i will now attempt to convince my dear readers that i am not as rich as everyone seems to think i am. and i've got many reasons. for a start, my family income is the most $5k (k= thousand) and i have reason to believe that we have only $100k in total. secondly, i don't have that new computer while all teh others have got pentium 4's with windows xp. which i know really isn't quite a big deal, but it's more valuable than a pentium 3 with windows 98se. and nicole has no excuse for her computer being the same as mine because she's got wireless lan. damn. that's like cable.

for thirds, i only live in a miserable four room flat. while others like darren and terence live in houses that cost millions. amanda can't complain about this because she has TWO computers. damn. heck lah. how can i explain this reasonably. i can't. damn. i'm not good at explaining things properly, and end up getting people to misunderstand me. so i think i'll stop here. the point i am trying to make, is that even though i have 50 dollars in my wallet everyday is only because i take 50 dollars from dad, and give him the rest. like 40+ or something. so i gain only like 10? or 5. whatever. now i'm confusing myself. argh. i'll just stop here.

i skipped eds today, because there was nothing important and because not many people were going. i forced myself to sleep till 12:15, woke up one time cos the damn alarm clock was set for 7, and got called by yixiu at 10. nothing much the rest of the day.

holidays do indeed pass fast. yup. i think its like the 6th week or something. sad.

anyway today has two events that are very special to me indeed, like millions around the world.

1: the opening of the lord of the rings: the return of the king
it's a cool movie, nice storyline, nice music. that's why i'm so gonna watch it

2: the 100th anniversary of flight
as most people who know me would know, i love aeroplanes. yeah. and the freedom to fly around in the sky. yay. so it's special to me too.

if darren's links are supposed to be in alphabetical order, why is it that yuhui's name is 2nd?:

.Amanda.
.Yuhui.
.Dione.
.Eugene.
.Grace.
.Joa-ee.
.Mark.
.Mun Yi.
.Nicole.
.Reuben.
.Sharan.
.Terence.
.Vina.
.Vivian.
.Yian Xian.
.Yuh Yiing.
.Yun Yuan.

could it be that yuhui is special to him? or just a error. but an error wouldn't be left alone for a month would it, when he blogs every week? ... weird...


a moment in time.
20:19



i reached school at exactly 8 am. only nicole was there, and tristan came a couple of minutes after me. that was when the trouble started. mr kiw and his two prefect bodyguards came towards us, immediately looking for faults. nicole and tristan were carrying sling bags, tristan had waxed his hair, nicole was wearing blue shoes, and my hair was too long. in the end, i had to go home to cut my hair. it was starting to irritate my eyes anyway, and my parents were also telling me to cut my hair, and today i had no choice.

now a bit about mr kiw. i read on the temasek jc forum that "Mr Kiw is strict but I guess we can't really fault him about that. That's the way he is......but he was still well respected by us". yeah, i do respect him, seeing that he managed to survive as discipline master for 30 years or something, and manages to keep things under control without anger and violence. but isn't it unfair and unreasonablethat we aren't allowed to use things like sling bags and handphones? tristan and nic said that he doesn't like them because he believes only gangsters, hooligans, and the so-called "pai kia's" use them. but look at the top schools in singapore, including the raffles' schools. i believe they're allowed to use all of the above mentioned things. it's not fair isn't it? oh well. i guess mr kiw's just eccentric.

eventually, after my parents brought me for a haircut, in which i got the barber to cut my hair real short, i found eds in the d&t room. there were just five of them, rowell, nicole, yvonne, tristan and yixiu. after a lot of "hard" *cough cough* "work", we enjoyed a good old meal at yoshinoya and some expensive ice cream. it was nice...

we all went to yixiu's house, played bball, volleyball, and flipping on monkey bars, and of course taiti. yay. i had shepard's pie and french onion soup for dinner. i don't think my stomach feels too good. i just realised water chestnut drinks are or digestion. no wonder i always feel like shitting after drinking that shit. but it tastes good. and onion soup sucks. ergh....

today seemed longer than usual, maybe it was because i was so busy. FUNFUNFUN. i really can't wait for class gat.

today = derrick's birthday. happy birthday dude. not like he even visits blogs. oh well. anyway, i met nicole at centruy square to get derrick a present. after lots of shouting and screaming and the likes, we decided to get him the grace thingy with sheep and paslms 23:1 written on it. so we took the bus and stuff.

so we went in. and derrick was like," i'm gonna kill the both of you." er... dunno what's wrong with him. :S we played soccer, fifa, and a whole lot of crap and had pizza and drumlets and a 1.5 kg cake. yay. it was a whole lot of fun. but i'm still average at soccer. or rather, losuy at it. so... happy birthday derrick!!!

note: finally there's eds tomorrow. yay. i hope to get this over with, so i can go to class gat with no worries.

my family went to the oriental for a buffet lunch today. 33 dollars per person. holy hell. but the food was good. DUH. you wouldn't pay 33 bucks for crap. yeah. turkey, sashimi and lots of other stuff. i decided i don't like turkey. i wonder why other people love it so much. turkey meat is dry. :S

then we went shopping at the marina. i played at the arcade. YAY. i am deputy inspector. oh well. today was a milestone. last year, i bought the first pair of pants i chose myself, this time i bought the first shirt i chose myself. we went to giordano. i chose this plain white shirt with nothing but a tag saying GIORDANO on it. ok. i really like it. oh well.

nothing much else. hope there's filming tomorrow.

today=boring. but i got age of empires ii conquerors expansion. now, i have finally gained control of the whole world. bwahaha. the korean turtle ships are so cool. and cute. well...sorta. shauna's leaving for new zealand tomorrow. i wish i could go. er... i better correct my phrasing. haiz...nvm. my parents said they would bring me to nz this year, cos my mum really wanted to go. i would rather go to switzerland. in the end, after all the fussing around, dad decided that it was too late, because we had no more time to plan. so i actually get to go for class gathering! yay! er... i dunno if thats a good thing, but i guess it is. and i will have money for new comp and turnaround. YAY! now that's a good thing.

3 things for now.

1) there's no eds filming tomorrow, so i have 3 options.
- go to shi bao's house and waste my time there
- go to batam with my parents and waste my time there
- stay at home and waste my time here
... not too attractive prospects eh? oh well. ill just think of something to do.

2) discovered buspark in not in senai. i decided it's in johor bahru, just after the tolls. yeah. that should be it.

3) there are 3 weeks left to the holidays. that ain't very long. boohoo. but i like school too. so i don't mind.


a moment in time.
22:36



bah. so bored today. but i got another flight simulator for me to devastate: star wars - starfighter. i'm not used to the gameplay, so i'll have to get used to it. so i spent the day troubleshooting the game and my computer, and read books, finally finishing to kill a mockingbird.

it's a good book, but very sad. haiz... prejudice is so bad and evil. anyway, lunch (braised herbal beef) and dinner (steamed cod fish) were really nice, but rather expensive. oh well. you gotta enjoy sometimes. tomorrow should be first filming, i hope i don't screw things up.

i've only got two things on my xmas wishlist:

1) new computer with windows xp home edition
- pentium 4 2.66 ghz b edition
- 80 GB harddisk 8M
- 512 MB ram
- 128 MB video/graphic memory (nvidia)
- CDRW drive
- Price: approximately S$1500

2) westlife: turnaround
- Price: S$17.95- 19.95

the most i'm gonna get is my 50 dollar note. the comp will have to wait. i managed to improve my current computer so that it's faster and better and basically more efficient, after some tweaking in the registry and taking out some crap.

yay. christams is coming. HOORAY!!! i saw santa yesterday. victor and darho said he wasn't real. santa claus is shorter than me!!! but he's real kind.

ok. today was eds session again. we were supposed to make rifles, and as usual, rowell was late. so we got fed up and went to mac to eat. after lots of eating and stuff, we found out we were late. i'll just skip this part.

okkkk. so they were not making rifles. but rather, learning how to operate a video cam. and focusing on weird people's parts. :S alright, so we dressed shi bao up to see if he could fit into his costume. he's no more kang hou, he's now a jap soldier. i hope he's the one which i stick my knife into. bwahaha. he looks more nazi than jap. :S. but at least it stills looks evil. that's when the belt started getting evil. somehow it got stuck, and after tugging and pulling at his pants, it finally came off. oh well. i was hoping he would have to wear that all his life.

took 12. tristan was saying some really weird stuff. and he, aaron n nicole were all asking to shut up and stuff, as usual. and vanessa was like, "what has mark done to iritate you?!" . er... i think they just like to tease me. i'm fine with that.

darren called nicole and said he wanted to go bowling and asked me n nicole along. but nicole wanted to go home so i met them at downtown east. they had already decided to go roller blading. so i went. and rode a bike instead, cos these 2 poor girls needed to get rid of their bikes for 1 hour. so i just took it from them. while the others were falling down and cursing, i was happily riding around pasir ris park. i think bikes are much nicer (and safer) than roller blades.

then somehow we managed to escape the rain, and eventually we all went home. rather boring and tiring day. i hope there's no eds tmr cos i need a rest. filiming's on saturday.

yay. i got shortlisted by eds for the cast thingy. so far, out of the people i know, only me, sb n yixiu have been selected. so we went for audition today. after some screaming, waiting, moaning and stuff, the results came out. i was to be lei xiong, sb was kang hou, and yixiu, i think, is the song lin girl.

lei xiong is the rich guy who goes mad during the fight and scream die, "you japapnese freaks, die!" and kills all the japanese in his path with madness then gets killed by a jap shell. yay. i die. kang hou is lei xiong's partner, who cuases lei xiong to die because lei xiong is so angry that a japanese soldier killed him. so i die for shi bao. song lin is the stupid girl who gets raped by an ugly jap soldier. i think the script is very weird. :S

if i'm correct, filming is to be at pulau ubin. yay. no malaysia. and no mortar hole houses. and no bulletproof boobs. phew. the rest of the day was boring. we went to kallang mrt macdonalds then went home. i wonder why we don't talk about other people's blogs. :S

i have decided that say goodbye is the saddest but best music video. it's so sad seeing people leave. oh well. i read guiness world records this morning, and played age of empires ii until amanda and darren came. when darren came, he made me lose my age of empires ii scenario by killing all my own units. but i already finished it.

the first thing they did was see my photos. they found my kindergarten photo. and there was me, samantha and victoria choo in it. and ama n darr were laughing like crazy cause they samantha looked very funny, and victoria was even weirder. and something about using the photo to blackmail them.

then they found this photo of me when i was young, and darren was like "you still have the same hairstyle!". :S i don't really like the hairstyle. but my mum forces me to have it. :( so anyway, after watching the say goodbye music video, which we all thought was very sad, we started planning the itinerary for class gat and calling people. quite a lot of people are coming, and half are staying.

then halfway through, abel, amanda's bro, started a instant message to me. he said "hi mark, ama here" then when it hit us, we all started laughing. amanda was just beside me. hahaha. then darren continued the conv with "ama ei so did you allow your brother to go to the chalet" then abel said "ya". this really got us laughing. after somemore stuff like "er...ok where is your brother now " and "ei hows your vball todae" we just ended the damn conv and continued. darren said abel was really good at imitating amanda. he tricked me the other day too. he used the sarcastic emoticon and short forms which amanda used. haha. he also had no idea she was with us. haha. he's so ignorant. next time he should call to check.

after laughing at abel, we continued. i can't believe we, the poor organisers, are going to wake up at 4:30. i can't watch the sunrise. :( and the damn chalet is on the wrong side to catch a proper sunset. poor me. i was hoping to be able to see a sunset. boohoo. anyway, we just called people and had a lot of fun and stuff. but say goodbye is still so sad. it makes me wanna cry.

my only hopes for this holiday is for everything to go on smoothly and well. and for everyone to be happy.

i discovered something sad today. i am serious. if you think i'm lame for this, then let it be. but i'm serious. i found out that zhi wen and amanda, so deeply in their love for each other, would actually give up all their frenships to have each other. they can even skip a movie when everyone else is going to watch it themselves, alone. jus the two of them. they're so bad, and if i'm correct, lovesick. for each other. it's sad. for me that is.


a moment in time.
23:07



after a quick, very quick, lunch of braised herbal beef slices and rice, i went for eds. once again, i rushed, but once again, eds started late. haiz. i think there's something to be learnt out of this. anyways, today was planning and auditions. the scripts had been done, but they claim there should be another script. the script is quite good, and i can't say anything bad since i dint do it. but its good, really. its sad, but good.

so we auditioned. everyoen auditioned, but they're still going to the decision part, i don't want to be in main cast. i only want to be in the fighting scene. i don't really like all the mushy "please wait for me, i'll come back for you" parts. yeah. i only like to shoot. but the main cast isn't so bad. oh well. the others decide. i just act. as if i would act.

anyway, filming most prob in some weird place in malaysia called kahang, or kaluang or kallang. don't ask me. its a few km north of senai and kulai. but tomorrow a scouting team is going out around singapore at 7 am to find a suitable place if there's one. they believe northwest places and pulau ubin should have some places. yeah. i'm going. it sounds like fun. the only 4 things im concerned bout now is that the places we most prob find will be state land, and if that happens and we dont get any place in singapore, i don't think our parents will allow, and there's also the chalet which i really dont wanna miss, and also that if everything goes fine, i'll just screw up the whole thing. haiz. i think too much. yi xiu's asking me to be positive, so i'll try.

ok. we went to kfc for lunch. an eds lunch again. and we were shooting ice as usual. and the manager guy told us to stop, and he was like "what school are you from" and rowell, the gta king and eds vice pres, went like "oh. mountbatten sec", which isn't even a real school. and he used words like "annoy-ded". i can tell he doesnt know english. and he said he'd call our sch n stuff. so we just quickly left. but then shi bao, trying to be a good boy, a good, sweet, guai boy, went to apologise. he only does that to us. he stuck up to them. or is that the correct word. anyway, thanks dude, no matter what the others might say.

they were teasing me on 12 again, so i just shut up and read to kill a mockingbird. i'm starting to get sick of it. oh well. and i discovered aaron might be teh next generation of bee gees. he sounds just like them. oh rather, they sound like him. there's no diff. oh well. i hope everything just goes fine and everything works out. i'll just be positive.

i don't feel like writing anymore. i wrote a farewell poem for cap, and since nic wanted to see it, i brought it along. then they all took it and laughed at it and laughed at me. yeah. i know my writing sucks. but theirs ain't too good either right? at least they spare thoughts for my feelings. from now on. i'm not showing anything to anyone.

Saturday, December 06, 2003

after yesterday's msn game marathon with shi bao, in which i won all the games i played with him, and proved he wasn't better than me, i was real tired, and that explains why i only woke up when amanda called. she wanted to go shopping. to buy food and stuff for the class gathering, and darren was also coming along. they begged me not to take another bath, but i'd rather be nice-smelling when i go out, so they went first.

dad fetched me to tamp mall, and on the way, smsed amanda to ask where she was, and she said she was on the bus. then i saw the bus she was on, but i didnt see her. some 22, if i was actually right. so i just got off and walked to tamp mall. finally i caught up with her, and we waited for darren until she decided to call him. apparentely, we were standing on one side of a pillar in macdonalds, and darren was on the other side eating a mcmuffin. to me, it was really funny that we dint even know. hahaha.

so we went down into ntuc, and went around with darr's guitar bag, and ama's bag in some weird trolley we got for a dollar. we found lots of stuff, like sparkling juice and the likes, and just bought some of them. then darr said he could feel that shop and save had cheaper stuff, so we just bought a few stuff, including the sparkling juice, which i couldn't help calling wine. but it really, really looks like wine. don't blame me, i do enjoy wine, but i also like grape juice. oh well, i better get my pronounciation and words right.

then we headed into yoshinoya (i can hear nicole screaming now: she's really desperate for yoshinoya) for lunch. since darr claimed he had already eaten lunch, or rather brunch, as one would call it, he just sat there reading a really sick but interesting book, recommended by history teacher miss lai. i shall go into this a bit.

it's called "the secret diary of adrain mole". it seems interesting, and has sick parts like continiuous wet dreams, and measuring his 11 cm "thing". for now, because i haven't read it, the only way in which it has affected me is to give me a new impression of my history teacher. she must be really weird to recommend this kind of a book.

ok, back to food. me and amanda both had a beef bowl, which was really, really nice, except that this time i didn't add salmon for a combo. sadness. well, at least i got really nice beef. yummy.

mission two: shop and don't save.

oh well. you shop, but you don't save any money. the irony of it all. oh well. we entered shop and save, this time getting a bigger trolley for the same price. hm... we scouted the area for dodo fishballs, honey and a big bag of marshmallows and other weird stuff. in the end, we decided some things could just be brought from home, and this cut down the cost by a few dollars. at one point, while we were looking for marshmallows, amanda went a separate way to look, and me and darr were left with the trolley with amanda's handphone in it. we were too busy looking for soft cute things we were going to eat to care about her handphone.

i still can believe it. we were that close to finally discovering the shocking truth of her love life, and we just let it pass like that. haiz. *bangs my head on the keyboard* hyu7yu

oh well.... anyway, we found ou that indeed, things at shop and save were much cheaper, and everything we had bought could have been bought at a lower price, except for something which we bought at ntuc cost 5 cents less than the one at shop and save. at least we saved 5 cents. but i would easily give up that 5 cents for the bigger amounts we could have saved.

i've learnt my lesson. always buy food from shop and save. there was nothing left, except for 2 cones of ice cream which me and darr shared. i think amanda's trying to cut down now after the big feast she had with nicole yesterday. so anyway, we went to amanda's house to play. yay.

i was wearing my fave shirt, and certainly didn't want to dirty it with sweat, mud and other disgusting stuff, but too bad, they wanted to play. so we went up to ama's house, got two balls and went down. i have just realised how nice the area would have looked during sunset. i'll explain my current obsession with sunsets in a poem i plan to put inmy portfolio.

so we played, and js came, and played, until amanda went off for piano, and darr went off for church, and me and js sat on a bench talking about me having no balls and lots of other stuff which included why girls wouldn't want to stay over at our chalet, the reason being js n visa, cos they're really, really sick. amanda won't even swim, and nicole won't even sleep over. i guess i can't blame them.

then i felt a disturbance in the force, and turned around, it was amanda. ok. i don't have supernatural powers, but i nreally did sense her when she was coming. weird. i shall try it out some other day. anyway, we didn't really play. we just sat there and talked about amanda's relationship with zw and trying to get her to lend us her hp so we could see her smses. she had already grabbed mine, and was looking at all the mushy smses i had, but she didn't want to let me see hers. she claims she was indeed hiding something from the rest of us. i will explain this in the next paragraph. so anyway, we all went home when my dad came.

ok. here's the "good' part. it has been a field day for a and zw's relationship. if you know who they are. we received lots of evidence. if you could call it that.

1) darren asked zhi wen to call him when he was done with some stuff so that he could be informed if zw was coming to play. zhi wen, who knew amanda's phone was nearly out of batt, and that darr n my phones were ready to receive a phone call anytime, decided to send an sms to amanda instead. i think you get what i mean.

2) amanda claims she has been hiding stuff from us, most probably what has been going on between her n zw.

3) amanda has called everybody lame, beside her dearest so not-lame zhi wen.

and here's some sms evidence we got when we went to the concourse.

1) amanda has this message from zhi wen asking her to go with him to watch "love actually" with him. the fact that he didn't ask anyone else, but only amanda, and also that love actually is a romantic comedy tends to point out something

2) whenever me or js or darr or visa or someone else besides amanda calls him to play bball with us, he refuses. but when amanda calls, he's bound to be there. she even has this sms from him saying that he just couldn't refuse and disappoint HER. not us. only amanda.

3) she smses zhi wen everyday, today about 5 times or more, and tries to meet him everyday.

alright. this is lame. but this is the only way to prove amanda's claims wrong. she claims she and zhi wen are just friends, or good friends, whatever you want to call it. but as you can see, they are so blindly in love that their friendships with other people are just torn away by love.

sadness ain't it. poor all the other people. our friendships just cut away because of one romantic relationship. and they're only 13! :S oh well...sad

this is my results of some quizzes of one of my fave quiz sites: emode

i retook their iq test, and after half a year, i've gotten better results... :S

*IQ TEST*
Your IQ score is 140

This number is the result of a formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on Emode's Ultimate IQ test. Your IQ score is scientifically accurate; to read more about the science behind our IQ test, click here.

During the test, you answered four different types of questions — mathematical, visual-spatial, linguistic and logical. We analyzed how you did on each of those questions which reveals how your brain uniquely works.

We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is Visual Mathematician.

This means you are gifted at spotting patterns — both in pictures and in numbers. These talents combined with your overall high intelligence make you good at understanding the big picture, which is why people trust your instincts and turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.
*IQ TEST*: seems ok. 140 is quite good...

*COLOUR TEST*
You're blue — the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The color of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolized trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances.
*COLOUR TEST*: quite true. i'd rather have a group of friends like amanda and darren and a few others than have a large group of strangers. i don't know about the "connect deeply" part.

*NAUGHTY OR NICE TEST*
You're a Straight Arrow
You're all about sweetness, sunshine, and smiles. We've never met anyone nicer than you. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised to come across you sitting in a peaceful green meadow, surrounded by adorable baby animals eating out of your hand while your halo shines in the sun. Nah, we're just kidding. But you are an awfully good person. Sure, you may have dipped your toe in the naughty pool once or twice, but you generally stick to the shallow end, leaving the deep waters to the leather-and-nudie-magazine crowd. It's all well and good to follow the straight and narrow, but it's okay to walk on the wild side once in a while, too. Have a drink. Make a crank call. Go to strip club. Trust us — as long as no one gets hurt, it's fun to be bad!
*NAUGHTY OR NICE TEST*: YAY!!! i'm nice. or so they say.

*WHAT"S YOUR FLAVOUR'*
Mmm ... licorice! Strong and edgy, you're the flavor of black jellybeans and Good 'n' Plentys. Some people absolutely love you (in fact, they might even find you addictive), but you're definitely not for everyone. But that's okay with you — you'd rather pick and choose your companions. When you have time for friends at all, that is. Powerful and very potent, you're goal-oriented and ambitious — you don't let much stand in your way. There's nothing sweet or sugary about you; you're a serious taste that's best suited for the truly focused. Lingering, enigmatic, and a little hard to pin down, you're a truly tantalizing treat.
*WHAT'S YOUR FLAVOUR*: i don't know if it fits me at all.

i was rushing my dad to fetch me to school and after all the rushing and speeding and stuff and my dad telling me that eds sessions are always late, we ended up at the east coast macdonalds drive-thru to get me a sausage mcmuffin. of cos, it wasn't in the 60-seconds time limit, but for the second time, i didn't get my free ice cream cone. it isnt fair, is it. but well, its just an ice cream cone, and there're better ones out there.

in the end, eds started late as usual, and my dad had been right. oh well. we thought it was banner painting today, but the art club had already "kindly" taking care of that. so we were left with the monkeys. i don't know how to sew, but i learnt it pretty quickly, and i can say i did quite a good first job, although it was kinda messy. i finished one moneky's arm, and that was that. we were told that the thing would end at 1230, but it ended at 1030. yay.

me, nicole and eugene spent the 2 hours watching the volleyball team practice, playing abc in which i won because of their frequent airballs, and playing soccer penalties, in which i might have won. cos we didnt count score. it was fun. we talked about volleyball and comps and stuff, and saying that amanda was so sad cos she couldnt score. but when she did score, she still looked sad. :S oh well. maybe cos she was tired. the whole team seemed depressed and tired, cept for the coach who was screaming at them.

then volleyball ended, and after a rest, we (me, nicole, amanda, eugene) went to city link mall and then suntec city. it was nothing special, lunch was just beef noodles and desserts. but amanda and nicole ate a lot. they had beef noodles, rojak and ice kachang. i think they might be trying to put on weight. :S or maybe they're facing naggings that they're eating too little. like me. haiz... i just don't want to make myself too full. i hate bloatedness.

well, after lunch, we decided to visit the esplanade. at least we din't eat lunch there... i saw one brownie with ice cream which cost 9.50. i guess the food here is for those rich rich people. we visited 2 art exhibitions, which were quite nice, but some were not that impressive. my fave was the one made out of cloth and needles. it was beautiful.

eugene went me, and me and the 2 girls went to library@esplanade. we found lots of scores and music and all kinds of art stuff. although these can be only borrowed by premium members, amanda somehow managed to borrow one of the scores. the layd said this time she could borrow cos she got thru, but too bad, next time she couldnt borrow scores unless she got a premium membership. mun yi got one. its like, 8 books, and audio-visual items and basically everything else. haiz.

then the hi-5 concert ended. the esplanade which had been so quiet and peaceful with everyone looking at art quietly, became full of screaming children, scolding parents and everyone just became not peaceful and quiet anymore. we waited under some huge lantern for nicole's mum and siblings. they came and we went off to the mrt. the mrt was like the esplande. quiet at first. then suddenly the floodgates opened and the horror of the mass came down upon us.

but the mrt ride was pretty smooth. there was much talking, and me and amanda dropped off at tampines station. she said she wanted some chocolate, so i just followed and waited. i am now convinced the girls, or rather, amanda, is trying to gain weight. i ate less than the both of them. and i'm the one supposed to be putting on weight. :S anyway, we parted and i took 291 home while she took 22. i read to kill a mockingbird on the bus. about 1/3 through the book. yay!

my parents have decided not to bring me on holiday, because

1) i can go to the class gathering and stop disturbing their peace
2) they can have their own short trip in peace
3) so that i can spend more money for other stuff

yay. but i was thinking about revisiting genting and that weird johor bus park i've been writing about. i finally figured out it's position, after much thinking. its about a few km after the johor toll.


a moment in time.
22:31



today was fun. the day started off with waiting for rowell to come so that we could start the film thing. he came half an hour late when he was the one telling us to be early. haiz... so we went into comp lab, instead of d&d room, and everyone turned on their comps and started looking at weird stuff with half of our concentration on what rowell was trying to tell us.

but i watched the draft film. it was really funny. well, it's not supposed to, but there were so many mistakes in it. like one part, rowell was shoting some invisible jap soldiers, with no specs on, and the next he had them on. then they were using plastic bottles to pour water over some guy, when plastic bottles were not common cos they're were too expensive at that time. and the gunshots and bullets were actually lasershots. it's like a factual error. and also something about a sign behind three guys trying to snipe shoot with the words:" do not feed the monkeys" or something. haha. i hope our final production is better.

then we went off to eds room where we found not much props, and decided that indeed, we needed to use some of our 500 dollar budget on props and costumes.
ok. that is quite a lot. well. i think we'll need some real guns too. the guns they used in the draft looked more like broomsticks. yes. they were talking bout using a mark 3/5 rifle. yes, that would be nice. and if i reme, modifciations could be made so that we can shoot pellets or something. yay.

while the guys were playing gta vc in SCHOOL, the girls were doing a plot. and i must say, a very good plot indeed. but it also ended up with them complaining we were not doing anything. haiz. we were doing something. we were making film sequences of crime fighters getting killed by their own tanks and helicopters. but a lousy excuse. we were doing a damn wwii film.

after all the ranting and stuff, we went to macdonalds for lunch. i had a pounder thing, which really sucked cos it was really a cheeseburger with an additional slice of cheese, onions and 1 more pickle, which cost 2 dollars more. thats how macdonlds became so rich. damn it, what a waste of money. but at least the mc flurry is nice.

we decided to walk to the bus stop, then decided to walk to the next bus stop, then decided to walk to the mrt. haiz. such fickle-mindedness. then some seniors sighted a sign saying, "costume rental services" and we immediately went in. they had such a wide range of costumes, but some of them really, really ridiculous. 'specially the headgear. someone would look more like a bird in those. then amanda called, and said that me, sb n nic "MUST" come straight away to lavender mrt. of course we didn't want to leave, but amanda left us with no choice, so we left.

we walked to the mrt, and took the train to the next stop. where we met amanda and js who were flirting with each other. os so i thot. :S oh well. so we walked some more to the concourse, where we found lots of stuff. and bought lots of stuff. shi bao wasted part of his 300/400 bucks on some windmill thingy and a rubber yo-yo. he can be a bit idiotic sometimes. in the end, we sorted out the stuff and left. went to meet darrho at kallang mrt. i let them leave on the first train, and eventually took the 4th or 3rd one. i needed some peace of mind to think.

i took 293 to ama's house, and took a short but slow walk, still thinking, and eventually reached the bb court. we played and played and played until this weird guy called edwin came. he's quite nice. we played with him for a while till he left, and continued playing basketball n volleyball till around 8:30.

ok, here's the bad part. the lights came on at 7. abel had said it was cursed, and now i believe him. well, sort of. people don't usually trust abel. somehow his mind has been clouded by the dark side. so anyway, he said that when the lights turned on, people would start sustaining injuries. and it was true. no one was spared. and i mean it. nicole got hit on the head and face a few times, js got whacked by zw on the shoulder blade, zw got hit a few times, amanda got hit on parts of her body a few times, abel got whacked on the butt, and this edwin guy also got hit on the face, and dar got hit too. i was not spared, but escaped with a broken left hand, serious grazes on my knees and two weird red thingies on my left arm. at least i still can type, and my right arm was spared. i'll have second thoughts bout going there again.

so we went home, tired from the injuries and stuff. i went home with amanda and abel. amanda seemed unusually quiet. abel was ranting about how he would like so much to go to class gat. actually i wouldnt mind, as long as he behave himself. but as i said, everyone else doesnt trust him, so they wouldnt like it very much if he went. so i passed amanda the ball, and took a longer route so that i had time to think.

yay!!! westlife realsed a new album. its called turnaround. and on the radio jus now they were playing a song called "mandy", and darren was like, "this song is nice". dad said it was an old song by some weird guy. but we didn't know the remix was by westlife in the new album. it is nice, but my fave song is still "why do i love you" but it's still a new album, and i think ill get it for christmas.

amazon.com Editorial Review:
"And Turnaround it is as Boys Become Men and These Boys Took the Effort with this Album to Make their Sound a Lot More Mature to Appeal to an Older Demographic. Doesn't Hurt that They Included Covers of Barry Manilow's "Mandy" and Mr. Big's "to Be with You" and Tackle them Aptly. "Turnaround" is a Solid, Pleasant Surprise! "

1. Mandy
2. Hey Whatever

This song rocks:

"Mandy"

I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into

Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made me oh Mandy

[Chorus:]
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

I'm standing on the edge of time
I Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy

[Chorus]

Yesterday's a dream I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
The pain is calling, oh Mandy

[Chorus]

You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
You kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you...

i woke up real late today, at 1 pm. after lunch, i tried to do a compilation of my favourite sites for cap, but in the end i decided it wasn't suitable. then amanda called me to say that we were going to book the chalet, so after some confusing stuff, i ended up at burger king with amanda, darren and sam lim playing truth or dare. then dad came to fetch us, cos we needed an adult to book the chalet. but sam had to stay with his parents, so we went along.

when we got there, i was astounded. it wasn't a chalet. damn it. it was a nice big beach resort. i mean costa sands resort. they claim its a chalet, but i still believe its a beach resort. its nice. at first we planned to stay one day, cos the rates were quite high, but when the woman asked my father if he was a safra member, he said he was a lifetime member, and in the end we got 3d 2n for jus $210 dollars. wow. without membership, it would have costed $330. ama and darr were so happy and whacking each other and just elated. i was entranced at the internet kiosk. THEY HAVE FREE INTERNET!!! but seeing my friends happy, made me happy too.

seeing other people happy makes me happy. :D yay... so we got the best chalet at half the price for the second day. yay. YAYAYAYAY! im happy. i can't believe i'm going for a holiday with my friends, even if it's not overseas. yay. im happy.

then we went to play basketball and stuff at ama's house, and abel and sharan and her bro suraj (if that's his name) came to play. it was quite fun. yay. today was a good day.

Your soul is bound to the White Rose: The
Pure.

"I've been waiting in the dark for a long
time, shining my beacon of hope through the
shadow. If you see me, don't you hide your
eyes from me."


The White Rose is associated with purity, honor,
and chastity. It is governed by the goddess
Artemis and its sign is The Cross, or Agape.

As a White Rose, you are a person of your word.
You may have a strong moral code, but
regardless of your virtue, you always stay true
to yourself. To you, love is the most pure of
emotional forms and it's just a matter of
waiting for it to bless you. Some people may
say you are too idealistic, but it's only
because you don't want to mess things up.


What Rose Is Your Soul Bound To?

You are an individual,go you! You think for
yourself and don't need to wear tight shirts
and short skirts to get the attention you
want.You are somewhat depressed but try not to
let people know.That where the cutting comes
in.You're not one of thoes people who need to
be labeled and you dont have a group.You're
just you.

Season = Spring
You're Most Like The Season Spring ...

Fresh faced, with a young outlook on life - you
smile at the world and expect it to smile back
at you. You're mostly a bubbly, fun - innocent
person. Described as cute possibly. However,
you're a little naive about things and tend to
be a little too trustworthy.
As the first season, It Makes you the youngest -
and so most immature - but people are inclined
to look out for and protect you.

Well done... You're the most fun of the seasons :)


?? Which Season Are You ??
brought to you by Quizilla

Artistic
You are naturally born with a gift, whether it be
poetry, writing or song. You love beauty and
creativity, and usually are highly intelligent.
Others view you as mysterious and dreamy, yet
also bold since you hold firm in your beliefs.


What Type of Soul Do You Have ?
brought to you by Quizilla

entrancing
You have an entrancing kiss~ the kind that leaves
your partner bedazzled and maybe even feeling
he/she is dreaming. Quite effective; the kiss
that never lessens and always blows your
partner away like the first time.


What kind of kiss are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

innocent kiss
innocent kiss - you're cute and sweet and like it
that way
