This evenin' we had a gatherin' at Aranda country club. Really jolly to see Jiahui, Joel, Kaixian, Shereen, Florence, Pat etc etc. We took lotsa pics... but i only haf some taken wif my camera phone. :) They took durians... oh my God... i loathe durians. Kaixian n the rest were like enjoyin' it... haha, i felt like a mutant mixin' up wif the humans. I promised Xian tat i wld bbq for her but there wasn't any bbq there due to the rain... hahahaa. Too bad she missed the food by the best chef in town. :P See Pat in the pic? Her birthday falls on this month n we were kinda celebratin' it here too. So much work 2 do, gonna work hard... if not i wun be able to see them again next week. I miss my grandma too, i hope she is gettin' better. I wish 2 gif her a call but i doubt she cld rem me. She has many grandchildren n i m the one she rarely see.

Desmond's room rental not successful

Last nite chatted wif Ade online. She's still in Japan, but she's much happier now wif her job. She miss Singapore foods... e.g. horfun. I asked her to come bk whenever possible... i promised her tat i dun mind goin' salsa wif her if she comes back. :) I miss eatin' wif her too.

Met up Desmond today at uni, he came bk from Hongkong yesterday. He is vexed abt his mum lately, who is sufferin' fr some health problems. I was really upset too when he proclaimed tat his mum only left with 5 months to live. He was in depression n i m glad he's better now. God... pls help his mum. We went Crystal Jade for dinner... we luv the spicy chickens... really cool. Went to view a room at Shirley's place (Angie's friend). The location is pretty gd... near boonlay's shoppin' but i reckon her dad rented it out... n she wasn't inform. I m feelin' very guilty... i should haf view the place earlier, even before Desmond came back. I m sorry Desmond.

Visitin' grandma

Grandma had an eye surgery lately n today my family paid her a visit. I didn't go to sch, really miss grandma. My grandma vaguely rem me as i hardly see her. I wasn't in Singapore for quite many yrs, n even b4 tat i was jus a kid n our family wasn't quite close wif the rest of the relatives. She stays wif my Aunt. We brought her some bird nests, essence of chicken etc. but aunt alleged "She drinks them everyday until she gets so sick of it n now she refuses to haf them anymore". Hmmm... ok! :) Aunt has been takin' care of grandma all these whiles... i m really proud of her.

We went to shop ard this area (Geylang area) where i used to hang ard during my childhood time, my Primary sch Geylang Methodist. Mum was lookin' for her favorite fish porridge stall n we found it. We were also tryin' to recognise the surroundin' n shops... so much to rem... after so many yrs. I even went to the library tat i used to go. Mum wasn't too comfortable wif the environment n she kept complainin' tat she wun ever stay ard there. I reckon its jus bcos we r not used to it, i believe it's not as bad as she thinks. Apparently the environment made me rem so much of the past. I wanna bring my wife here after i get married n tell her every single thing i did here durin' my childhood time. Xinxing came 2 meet me after work, we had steamboat n he sent me home. He was one of my childhood's friends. :)



Little cousin came to my place in the late evenin'...he's soooo cute!! :)


Acting cool....................................... n pretendin' 2 be HOT......

You're beautiful (James Blunt)

One of my favorite songs.

LYRICS:
My life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high, And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Shoppin' at Orchard

Went Orchard wif Chongyan (the guy in the pic). We had our dinner at Pasta mania. I bought a T-shirt. We went far east, taka, wisma... etc. Tomorrow Jiahui is not joggin' wif me, so i gonna jog alone tomorrow. :) I did not jog for a few weeks... i miss the beach so much.




Last nite chatted wif Angie online. She helped me to find a room for my friend Desmond.... she's such an awesome friend. Thank ya Angie. Then she asked how Desmond looks like... etc... n asked if i cld intro guys to her. I replied "How abt me? Single n available." But she claimed tat I wun like someone like her... she was kinda inferior (many reasons she gave but i dun wanna write it here). Silly... yes it has never crossed my mind abt me n her... but its bcos i dun fall in luv easily, n maybe not thinkin' of tat at this moment. But she is a wonderful gal... no doubt abt tat. Hmm... who should i intro to her? Hahaaa... pls register here!

Boring Friday!

Went for my haircut yesterday... it's sooo short now! Today didn't see JinShyang n Jiahui at mps... felt so bored. I am one of the reviewers for IJIT 2007, so jolly... at least a gd experience for me. Today's rehearsal went fine... i reckon we r gettin' better now, esp me (the pianist)... i guess i'm always the worst performer among all. :P

Met Hanwei for his matriculation day

Yesterday Hanwei met up with me at NTU for lunch, followed by his matriculation day (at NIE). Then we went sushi dinner at Orchard. Yup... sushi again!! :P



Day b4 yesterday I was busy at rehearsal n cldn't make it to view a vacant room at Boon Lay for Desmond, n yesterday it was rented out... it was my fault... i felt extremely sorry. Today I gonna view another room at Chua Chu Kang which Desmond mentioned to me when he called me from Hongkong yesterday afternoon. I reached the apartment at 8pm. The place was kinda messy n this diminutive room has an attached toliet (looks old). The main problem is tat it is not near to uni, abt an hour n the monthly rental is $500, excludin' the shared utility bills. As i've never rented any premises in Singapore, i m not really sure abt the market price, but i heard fr my uni's friends tat it shouldn't be above $450, n i personally dun like this apartment. Better luck tmr!

Missing someone?

Haf ya ever missed someone and felt terrible because ya reckon tat he/she doesn't miss ya? Ya'll be sittin' around wonderin' if ya meant anythin' to him/her, or he/she ever knows ya existed. Rushin' 2 the phone once ya received a msg hopin' tat its him/her. Sittin' in front of the TV or holdin' a book hallucinatin' about him/her. Layin' on the bed and thinkin' of the last time ur guys were out together. Loggin' on to the internet hopin' to see him/her online. Lookin' around on the train wonderin' if he/she could be there.

Missin' someone is a way of growin' up i guess, which exposes ya to loneliness, enlightenin' ya about a feelin' called emptiness. It's awesome 2 miss someone, knowin' tat ya really care and indulge in the feelin' of lovin' and carin' for him/her. But missin' someone and not knowin' if he/she is feelin' the same is dreadful. So if ya miss someone, tell him/her and at the same time, ask if they miss ya too. Dun let the feelin' of missin' someone becomes jealousy or paranoia.

"Cancellation" Sunday

This mornin' supposed to meet up Jiahui n Kaixian n whoever for joggin'. Due 2 some reasons... it was canceled... which i dun wanna get started wif. So i went back 2 bed ard 6.30am after readin' Hui's sms. Received smses fr Selina... 1st msg) Why i didn't reply her sms ytd? 2nd msg) Free this week? 3rd msg) Free on Thur? 4rd msg) How abt boonlay... near 2 yr sch? 5th) How abt 5pm?..... n some missed calls. I woke up several times 2 reply her smses (smthin' like "yes cool, i m fine wif it... cya soon.") n continued squirmin' back on my bed... till i finally decided to wake up. Hmm... she's sooo... longwinded. haf not seen her 4 awhile, she's an awesome friend anyway... so i luv 2 catch up wif her soon. Met up wif Jiahui at noon for awhile, he's goin' 4 his reservist tomorrow. Rehearsal was canceled too this evenin'.

met Bryan n Wing

Yesterday met up wif Bryan in the late evenin' at fisherman's village. We had a gd time chattin'... so much 2 catch up... he's such a nice person. We were also talkin' abt galsss... yeah men's favorite topic!! We discussed abt our perception on relationship n marriage. He doesn't like the idea of gettin' married too early n doesn't mind changin' gf (though he is currently attached)... n he stoutly goes 4 look. Conversely, i dun like changin' gf n i m more toward this 'once n forever' supposition. I luv gettin' married too if i do luv her... n if i've no feelin' towards her i wun even wanna get together wif her. Bryan was havin' this adverse reaction "Wat? Why not?? Jus 4 fun... I think ya take it too seriously... n ya r younger than me n y wld ya wanna settle down??? I advised him to be loyal 2 his current gf... cherish wat ya haf ppl...!! But he really luv his current gf i know... i know him... he's nice. I told her abt the gal i like, which we named it as "G3" which means "Guai guai gal". She is super nerdy n guai, n she is kind-hearted. She gave me the burnin' sensation whenever i see her. I know i really like her. But i dun think i'll ever get her... as she is too guai. :P

Today i reached uni at abt 12pm. Was busy configurin' my new phone (Dopod C730), tryin' to connect 2 NTU n NIE through wireless. At abt 3pm Wing n I headed to the uni gym. Tats Wing in the pic. :) We r kinda gettin' stronger, carryin' heavier weight each time. Took a shower n went 4 our sushi aaagainnnn... our 1023212593 times havin' sushi together.... haha. Wing is leaving next week to Beijing Microsoft for work attachment, hope he'll like it.

Happy joggers

This mornin' woke up at 6.15am, met up wif Daniel n Kaixian 4 mornin' jog. We ran ard the beach (Pasir Ris), gd day... i luv the both of them! Had breakfast wif Daniel after, n went back hm ard 10.00. Gonna practise my piano for performance today. Yesterday's rehearsal i was quite ghastly. Again Chris was tellin' me off..."Jimmy did ya practise enough at hm?" Again i gotta remind him tat i'm not pro like the rest of them. :) But wat to do... Chris is my idol... i'll work harder. :P

Went Vivocity at Harborfront wif Wing yesterday noon. I bought my Dopod C730 there (without contract for $798 after usin' up my $100 voucher). My credit card bill will be above $3000 this month... i better find out where is the highest success rate on robbery in Singapore.

Flight booked to Texas US

Yesterday went buffet lunch at Simei with mps friends (JinShyang, Jiahui, Kaixian, Yinghui, Shereen, Pat, ...). Enjoyed myself...hadn't seen them for a while, i miss everyone of them. We proposed some actitivies like bbq, weekly jog, volley, etc. Everyone seems pretty stressed this time round.

Went PC show after with Jiahui and Hendrik. It was soo damn crowded tat we gotta squeeze like wedges into a tight space. I saw the IBM X60, core 2 duo, window vista biz...etc. I was droolin'...n i asked my two buddies if i should trade in my current IBM T60, less than a year old, for $1200 n pay another $1800 for X60. But think abt it, I can't catch up with technology, so maybe i should be more rational n stick on wif my lovely T60. I need a mobile phone more than a laptop...i lost my mobile phone (tats y no pic in my blog now), gonna pay $800+ for my new mobile phone soon.

This mornin', booked airfare with Alex (the ASTAR scholar), we r flyin' to Texas US in Sept for ICIP conference presentation. It costs $1974 each exclusive of hotel, n the credit card OCBC staff called me twice to reconfirm if I made this transaction. It seems tat i haf spent too much $$ these days...i can't believe it too. I spent more than I earned...haha. :P And we r still plannin' on other trips, Bangkok wif CY, Penang wif Beeling, etc. Can someone pls ban me fr the airport!!! One step into the terminal n i'll be executed. :P

MPS was quick today, we finished around 11pm. Shyang didn't come n Jiahui left at 10. I still can't sleep yet, gotta prepare for rehearsal tomorrow. I hope Chris will be mercy wif me when i play the piano, haf not been practisin' lately.
