Fact or Fiction?

Hello all!
I ripped this off from someone else's blog! Tell me if its true k!

ENJOY!

missing all of you,
*amendi*

Everything girls need to know before going into a relationship =)
Read though its long winded, its all true!

1."Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" ~ two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.

2.Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

3.Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're gonna say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.

4.Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

5.Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.

6.Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.

7.A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.

8.Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.

9.Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend.

10.Guys get jealous easily.

11.Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.

12.Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...nevermind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.

13.Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.

14.Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway.

15.Girls are guys' weaknesses.

16.Guys are very open about themselves.

17.It's good to test a guy first before you trust him. But don't let him wait too long.

18.If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.

19.A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.

20.Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.

21.Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful.If a guy uses that, he likes you a whole hell of a lot.

22.No matter how much guys talk about asses and boobs, personality is key.

23.Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.

24.Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped.

25.Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.

26.Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.

27.Try to be as straightforward as possible.

28.If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.

29.If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.

30.When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.

31.When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."

32.If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.

33.If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.

34.When a guy tells you that you are beautiful, don't say you aren't. It makes them want to stop telling you because they don't want you to disagree with them.

35.When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something.

36.Guys like femininity not feebleness.

37.Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.

38.A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.

39.Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.

40.Everything in moderation. Put on makeup, wear perfume. Just not too much.

41.Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.

42.Guys hate rejection, but they hate being led on even more.

43.If you are going to reject a guy, just do it. Don't say they are like a brother or just good friends, it just hurts even more. Tell them that you aren't interested in a relationship and they will respect you.

44.No guy can handle all his problems on his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.

45.Not all guys are assholes. Just because ONE is a jackass doesnt mean he represents ALL of us.

46.Always make sure you know what kind of stuff your getting into before making out with a guy ...like wheather it's a one time deal or not ..

47.Guys love neck rubs and if he lets you keep doing it ..it means that he really likes you or his neck really hurts...

48.When a guy sacrifices his sleep and health just to be with you, he really likes you and wants to be with you.

Hi Guys,

GMH is back from Y camp.

This will definitely be able to go down well into the ‘GMH History’. Still as ti-siao as ever.

If you are wondering Y I use GMH, because we told them GMH is our clique name. Haha… But there was no detail more than that.

I’ll just give you a breakdown of what went on…

1. Teh, Sops, Mendi and Me are in the same group. Lulu wanted special ‘treatment’, so he went on to another group with the Kips.
2. You can never put Teh and Sops together, it become super ti-siao even in front of strangers.
3. Everyone knows MENDI HAD LONG HAIR. (I was the one that reveal this… Haha)
4. Mendi had a really tough time. He had most probably the toughest task at hand.
5. Mendi took 5 hrs to start talking to the ladies…after that it was day 2 when we started chatting again.
6. Me, Teh and Sops created so MANY MANY MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIM and he can only say, “I so tired”.
7. We really had a great time.
8. Next camp, Lulu may play a different role.
9. Right now, I can tell the rest of GMH members. At least go for 1 time. It will really benefit you.

I must really say as much as I prefer the first camp, the second camp is as wonderful when the people came.

Just something I learn this time round, appreciate the life’s simple stuff and not take anymore things for granted.

Looking forward to my next camp, but it may not be the June’s one.

For other more personal details, let’s talk about it face to face.

11 aside B4 Christmas...

Hi PPl...

Finish my exams.. try having fun but still have to work.

Anyway... With regards to 11-aside soccer,my friend in school wanna play a game with us and Most probably when that happens, Alonso will not be around.

U guys up to the challenge?

Anyway, they quite good at planning this. Like they will find referee and pitch, we just need to be there and play.

Is there at least 16 ppl that wanna play, considering Yusoff or Tim will be the goalkeeper?

Pls post a comment if you want to play and DON'T PUT "i dont want to go if he is there or i will go if he is not there" nor "Maybe if I am free."

If you r a guy or "a guy at heart" and up to the challenge, just put a "yes" or "no". Then i will find the "secondary" people if not enough.

My December

All,

Long time no post.

Some administrative matters:

I'm the soccer organizer for December. Please be advised (if you're not) that we could not get suitable slots at St. Wilfred for the first three Sundays in December i.e. 2nd, 9th, and 16th.

The next booking is on the 23th ( forgot what time) and I'll try to book for the 30th.

For 2nd December : I have to excuse myself because I have exams till the 5th so you guys are free to entertain yourselves however you choose on the 2nd. (play somewhere else or do something else)

For the 9th and 16th: Let me know if you want to play soccer elsewhere (e.g. The Cage, nao hia court). Or we can do something else like go JB, Sentosa, Minds/Settlers cafe or my preferred choice, cycling in Pulau Ubin.

Do leave comments or drop me a msg.

Cheers

"I'm very excited, exams are coming..."

Have I eaten my lunch?

Hi,

I just feel like complaining.

Before that, Dey, U ask me for password and username then where is your post?

Back to my topic… Let me bring you thought what I have been doing this week..

Monday
0830-1145 – Lesson
1200-1500 – Corporate Reporting Meeting
1515-1845 – Lesson
1900-2130 – International Econs Meeting

Even when I reach home, I was to rush home to do the project work for the meeting next day.

Tuesday
0830-1100 – Work
1200- 1515 – Lesson
1530- 1630 – Travel from SMU to NTU to meet Prof David
1630- 1800 – Meeting with Prof David (for EBC Module)
1800- 1900 – Travel back to SMU to have International Econs Meeting
1900- 2200 – International Econs Meeting

Same as Monday, I was rushing to do project work the moment I reach home for the next day. Furthermore, when I was on the bus home, I even on the laptop to do the work…. Reality sets in.

Wednesday (the worse of the lot)
1000-1200 – Business Process Meeting
1200-1515 – Lesson
1530-1830 – EBC meeting
1900- 2130 – International Econs Meeting
2130-2215 – Business Process Meeting

In fact, the 2nd Business Process meeting started at 1900 but I had already confirmed going for international Econs Meeting. So I went at 2130 instead since my team mates were still around. And Guess what? I forget to eat lunch the whole day and only remember that I did not eat lunch at the end of the day. Worse still, I ate my dinner at 2300.

Thursday was the less busy day for me as I only need to work and go for another international econs meeting at 7pm.

Today, being Friday, I still have International Econs Meeting. This suck. My life this week is so darn screw up.

Guys… I still have make up lesson on Saturday morning and Meeting on Saturday afternoon.

And on Sunday, no surprises… I have another EBC MEETING AT 11.30am. And a online meeting at 2100. What the F***********!

The only “life” I have right now is soccer… and I have to miss it…

Reality sets in…

Miserable Blackburn

I guess my child will not take PSLE seriously...

Hi Ppl,

This morning, I heard some very shitty news. Its about the PSLE Maths Exams. It was said that this year PSLE Maths were of a super diffcult level. Children cannot finish their exams. Some even cried while doing the exams. Time has really change.

Still remember the time I received by PSLE score... 201. My mum was pulling by my ear while we walked towards the car after receiving the slip of paper. I still remember... at that time, i was not worried about my future or secondary school. I am just worrired that my holidays then will be so screwed. Most probably studying the whole holiday.

Obviously this did not happen and my childhood is still an OK one.

So actually I don’t think these kids should put so much empharsis on the results. PSLE will not determine how your ‘O’ level or ‘A’ level will turn out. Or your future. As much as you should still study, u should also enjoy your childhood. It does not come twice.

Talking about enjoying life... I am sooooo not enjoying at the moment. As much as I understand RESULTS does not determine your future, it is trying to determine mine. You know MY SCHOOL now has this system which is sort of new... “Everyone will be marked base on a bell curve (this is what is happening in the school previously still), and there will be a limit at the number of As, Bs, Cs a professor will give. The percentage goes as follows 25% As, 45%Bs, 35% Cs and Ds and Es and Fs (this second part is not what was previously stated).”

People, I can tell you that soooooooo far in my Uni life, I did not produce any Cs yet and only 2 As. The rest range between B+ to B-. Thus, previous I will not be soooooo worried.

But right now, I am soooooo worried. And Guys, you know I have been studying till the extent I have no life (I have been working 2 and half days a week and studying on Saturday every week... Do you even have time to go out? Even when I want to go out... No one seems to be free either nor will want to spent the money to watch a movie). With all the Mid-term and Quizzes that I have been getting back, I seriously think that I am gonna get at least a C this term not matter how much effort I put in (Results were all below par and in the last 35%).

Hopefully, things will not turn out that way. And I will try not to let this determines what i get in the future.

And Guys... You know i have been talking to you about business proposal about opening a Boxer Shop. As far as I am concern, everywhere I go right now and everything I see right now has been telling me there is a market out there.

BUT MY SCHOOL HAS TO DISAPPOINT ME AGAIN. It has decided not to help me.

For the past 2 weeks, I had been trying to not think about it anymore. But it seems that there is a calling to tell me to carry out what I have been thinking and in everywhere that I turned to nowsadays.

I guess I need more “Help” and “Directions”. If you really intend to help, please step forward.

What more can we ask for?

Hi all,

How long can you hope a friend can change?

For me or even us (as in our clique), that is a long long time.

For me, its been at least a few years.

Clique members, I believe you do know who I am talking about.

Let me tell ya what he said to me in MSN:

“I will take 147 at 10am then when reaching your house bus stop then I’ll call you.”

In the end, its 12.30pm and I am still alone in school studying.

Called him and he never pick up the phone. Must be sleeping or bathing.

Anyway, he told me something on MSN that day:

“I have bought a new bag.”

And also something about “Handsome and Sexy”…

Like I said that time dude…

New bag + New Hairstyle + Getting Fitter + Old Character will not make you “handsome and sexy”.

I guess there is always a limit to how much one can hope for.

Another word of advice,

“Dude, your brains are not located at your chest level or your biceps. If only you put those efforts on your studies right now.”

147 journey will never be the same again...

Hi,

Something really interesting happen to me today. At least it seems interesting to me. For others who heard the story, they feel it’s freaky! Haha… whatever it is… this incident gave me some interesting thoughts.

On this particular Sunday after soccer, I went with my friends to Funan. As usual, being the lifeless-self, I went home earlier than the rest. I took 147 home.

As the bus reached the Parklane bus stop, this group of girls entered the bus along with this particular auntie. As one of the girls was not bad looking, I tried to get away from them even when the bus is rather crowded.

(Pls do not be amazed by the above statement. If I am dress normally, I will not be bother by the girl’s presence. But this particular day, I was still dress in my “full of sweat Man-U shorts”, my “look like pirated but real Nataka T-shirt” and a “look like going to market big red plastic bag”. I guess you will have done the same if you were dress like that.)

Sadly, I did not succeed in getting away from the girls because I was block by this dark armpit (If you know the 147 route, you will know where this dark guy is heading.)

Thus, the girl had to walk pass me and also the dark guy beside me.

Suddenly, someone tapped my shoulder. It was that auntie. She asks me if I have coins to change for her $2 note. Having squeezed by people around me, I struggled to open my wallet and took out just $1.20. Without any hesitation, I gave the money to the auntie and said, “I do not have change but here is all I have.”

After taking the money from me, she gave me back the $1 coin and said she just needs 20cents. After paying her fare, she thank me at least 5 times as she squeeze past me before going to the upper deck.

This made me felt good. U never knows what a 20 cent can do for U!

Back to the girl….

As the bus pass little India, it became emptier. I walk to the back of the bus and saw that girl again. She looks sooooooooooooo cute and she has a niceeeeeeeeee figure.

But the moment she started talking to her friends, I realize something. She is from China!

During the bus journey, I kept my eyes on her and her actions.

After a while, her friends got down. And she is sitting alone on a 2 sitter chair. She did not move in to sit beside the window (The sun is glaring). Then a granny wanted to sit beside her. I was amazed at the fact that she did not budge and just stayed still. Then the granny taps her and she suddenly moved to allow the granny to sit inside.

At this moment, I realized something. She was sleeping the moment her friends got down the bus.

I came up with this conclusion.
1. “She fakes the sleep because she does not want to budge! How can someone knock out so fast?”

2. “God is fair. There is always trade-off in the world. Nothing is perfect. No doubt, she is pretty and looks good. But her attitude sucks.”

3. “She still looks good.”

Soon…. The bus is reaching my bus-stop. I felt a sense of loss knowing I will never see this girl again.

Then this thought just popped into my head.

“God, if you really want to make my day today, I hope this girl will get down at my bus stop cause if she ever does that. I will walk home with her and get to know her!”

I guess I am just another hopeless despo in Singapore to have this thought.

You never know what is going to happen later!

As the bus reaches my bus-stop, I got down and SHE ALSO GOT DOWN AT THE SAME BUS-STOP.

But as I turn left, she turns right. We parted ways.

Who will have known this girl live so near me? But I was lucky she did not walk in the same direction as me. Cause I will be soooooo nervous having to fulfill what I thought just before that. And if I really do that, it will enter into my “top 5 crazy stuff to have done in my life”.

Anyway… another conclusion came to my mind with this interesting incident.

“There is really someone looking over me. Be it whoever it is.”

And right now, I will say my thank you to whoever you are looking over me. You really made my day today. Doing a good deed and “knowing” a new neighbour.

(For all my Christians friend esp. u know who u r, pls do not use the above sentence to try and convert me. Thank you.)

No time or No brain...

Hi Guys,

Just a short post. In office now. But i am tired.

What the hell was i thinking when i get this part time job...

All I feel right now is that i have already overwork, overload myself with stuff that are irrelvant.

There is simply no time for school, don’t even talk abt “self time”.

The only relaxation time i have is actaully when I am having lessons... This is so true.

Moreover, right now the modules are getting sooooo hard... I am having self-doubt...

“Am I cut out for the real world?”

Maybe I am just giving myself excues for myself. After all, Its not about quanitity but quality.

I am just not producing enough “quality”.

Self-doubt continues...

Cherish life...

Hi Guys,

I am not going to say much in this post… Just wanna tell you guys. Cherish who you have beside you. Cherish those you love. Cherish the friends you have or even you had. If you have things you want to tell or do but have not do it, pls do so now. Cause I really feel life is so fragile. You will not know what is gonna happen tomorrow.

This is how I feel after attending my uncle’s funeral this week. Have been rushing between school, work and the funeral.

At the start, this week could seem so fulfilling. The start of new term in school, the start of my new work. However, this week is also the end of my uncle fulfilling life. Although I am not so close to him or his family, but sadness just surrounds me this whole week. Even now, I feel like crying. In my life so far, I have seem the end of my grandmother’s life and also my uncle now.

I shall not say much. I just realize how fragile life could be. So pls cherish the love ones you have by your side.

Blackburn.

Guess who's back?

The evasive bollywood star....

Words for those who truly touch my heart...

Dear Loved ones…

How are all of you?

Recently been getting requests to update the blog. It’s also been awhile since I did that, or any of my clique members did it. Never thought this blog will be in demand. If we have a counter, we could have 10k hits per day!

So guys, please also update this blog again!

Anyway, as many of you know, my whole summer holiday I have been working at YMCA as an intern. Many of you asked, y did I do choose this internship? Pay low, work not useful to you in the future. Y?

Let me give you the reasons…

1. The main reason was that this summer, I wanted an overseas internship or a slack one. So as I did not get the former, I chose the latter.

2. It is also because my previous internship was really stressful; I wanted a different kind of internship.

3. As my main event that I am doing in YMCA is with regards to entrepreneurship and I always wanted to do my own business, I really hope to have new insights into this part of the world.

4. I also wanted to do some community service in overall. As many of you knew, the Talen of the past, I was so not community active. Thus, I felt it is time that I give back to the society.

Eventually, I have been working at YMCA since 23 April 2007 and I really think I have change a lot.

In the past, I am a slacker. A true slacker. I was inactive in CCA, community service and my life is just slack and studies and sometimes… girls….

But now, I really feel I have change some ways or another. For the better, for the worst, it is up to u to see it and reflect back to me.

Firstly, I feel I have change my perspective on Christianity. After my breakup, I really have a bad view about Christianity. But right now, I just believe in it, just as I believe in Buddhism, Taoism and Catholic. Right now, I actually have this theory. Maybe there is really just this 1 god, who came down in different forms to pass down the right messages to people. Eventually, like what some of my colleagues said, it is not god who is wrong, is the people who misinterpreted their words make it so wrong.

Secondly, I feel I have become more active. You know I actually sort of become a volunteer leader here at YMCA. (Dun shakes yr head now)!!! I joined a committee for one of their events. I also have a CCA (Uni-Y). And I even join their activities, like Y camp, Y nature walk. Life seems meaningful again despite being busy at times. Right now, I truly understand people who have the urge to help the world, how they feel.

Thirdly, I have also believed in love again. Let me summaries, I never believe I could fall in love again. And I did. Even when this relationship did not turn out what I wanted, I am just as happy we are friends now.

Fourthly, I have also met a lot of great people who have passed me great wisdom. The main events will be my colleagues and people from the Y Camp. You all taught me a lot of stuff I did not know. Thank you!

I must also specially thank this new friend I met at the friend who has always supported me all the way. Regardless of what happens in the future, hopes our friendship holds. I guess U know who u r, “Shameless 1”!

Although this is not all that I feel now, but like what one of my friend said, “You are always having trouble explaining yourself.” Hopefully, guys u understand and feel that I really appreciate everything that has happen this whole summer.

For my clique members, I guess I have not been spending quality time with you guys. Hope you understand. During this summer, I guess one of the highlights I had with you guys is the Tioman trip and as usual the regular soccer session. Thanks guys!

That is all the appreciating words I have to say. For now.

Trivia for all those that are reading…

Just a recently situation I came up;

This very day, I am eating with another 4 colleagues. (2 girls, 3 guys including me).

Then one of the girls was unable to open her can of drink and she almost broke her nicely painted nail.

The 3 guys have 3 different reactions.

1. Guy A laugh and joke about the incident.
2. Guy B ask her if she needs help.
3. Guy C went straight to open the can for her.

For u guys, u can guess which one was me? And state and reflect on what kind of guy u r?
For the girls, you can give yr comments as to which guy U like. These comments will become important feedbacks for the largely populated singles in my cliques.

That’s all!

Have Fun!

Friends are forever... so is my love...

Hi all,

I have to say sorry for now… cos all the post that I am going to put up is just so emotional so sad…

The last few nights, I have thinking and talking to some of you as well. Half was supporting me, others were just telling me the “truth”. For me, I thank these few who encourage me and also people who just wanted to tell me the truth and its consequences.

However, I will like to tell u guys, I know the “truth”. The fact she (may) only treats me as a friend. The fact she don’t like me in the way I like her. The fact whatever that I had been saying is just bluffing myself, to just make myself feel hopeful again.

But I just want u guys to understand, the real truth is that I have never been so in love before, maybe only for “the one who appears in the paper”. And I thought I will never believe in love. As for those that really know me, ask yrself, have I love someone so much before? Have I love someone so long before?

And I also know, I have fallen so deep, that if I got rejected, I may never recover again.

But don’t worry too, cos I know I have friends like you to count on. And I also have time to heal myself. I have already prepared for the worst.

And also just a note, unless u have something positive to tell, don’t tell me anything. Just let me bluff myself as long as possible. Let me feel that there is still hope in the world of love.

So thank you FRIENDS, for the way you have been treating me.

And sorry FRIENDS, for all the complaining and nonsense that I have been telling you, Bear with it.

Lastly, 3 quotes that I cross my mind recently,

“But nothing is really impossible if you set your mind to believe and your heart to love...”

“Good things come to those who wait.”

“She can make herself to not like me,
She can tell herself to not like me,
She can actually don’t like me,
She can really just treat me as a friend,
But she cannot force me to not love her…”

Once again, thanks for reading…

There is hope in life...

Hi Guys,

At last, some time to write a post for the recent events.

As for the Y Camp that I came back from, it was a blast.

If Tioman gave me a new perspective in life, this Camp gave me new hope in life.

There is still hope in life.

It was a really rewarding experience I had.

When I reach home, every thoughts just rush through me. I never thought I would have survived this camp. If it was the “pervious” me, I would not have gone to this camp.

So I think for the December camp, I will be going as well.

Friends, I urged you to join the next YMCA Camp. It will be an experience you will never forget

As for me, I believe HER presence there made the whole camp more enjoyable.

As for what happened between us? R u interested to know?

Let’s say this hope has given me hope in LOVE as well.

I felt that she made some hints here and there at the camp, as if she had read the letter.

When I reach home, I started to miss her. It was really different this time round.

I really love her. No matter what, I will confess this love one day. And I will respect her decision.

I thought I have gotten over her. It was never really over.

Tioman "Happy" Times...

Hi Guys,

This is Blackburn, coming back from Tioman and going back for work.

As I have told many, this trip is much needed, as I wanted a break from work and a holiday. Thus, I will like to thank Lulu, Mendi and Alonso for paying for my transport and accommodation. Those reading please don’t envy, cos I must say I have really good friends.

Anyway… back to the trip.

This trip was really an experience for me. There was lots of first time for me.

Snorkeling, seeing fishes, Sea urchin, hiking, Paprik Fried food... Etc.

However, I must say it was only a break from work and not much more. It was still a tiring trip and with our clique members, pls do not expect us to sleep early.

So in 3 words in describing this trip will be TIRED BUT FUN.

What I really miss in Tioman is actually the lifestyle there, the laidback lifestyle. People were simple but just generally happy. Maybe in another 40 years, I will want to lead this lifestyle. I also miss the “ALICE HAPPY ENTERPRISE” shop aunty, the seafood uncles, “Ramly” Aunty and the Boatmen.

Nevertheless, all trips have it down moments… So do we.

This time we reach Tioman, the injuries, the quarrels, the nothing to do time…

Since Alonso has post the happy times pics, here is the kangtao time pics.







And of cos... who can forget Nikki's child?

The empty spaces...

Hi,

After having last than 5hours of sleep last night and being super tired now, I should be sleeping. But I just have to type this entry… Cos it is just 24 hours after my birthday, and life just started to went downhill.

I started to miss her. And it seems like someone had it all planned. I saw her for the first time on MSN. However, like the pass few days smses to her, she did not reply to any of my message, MSN & SMS alike.

“What the hell… if U arrange me to see her on MSN, y not let her talk to me!”

This was what went on ringing in my head.

Then it brought me back to a comment I heard recently…

“U know, if she don’t reply, at least it shows she is constant in her actions.”

Maybe she has read my letter and this is her signs of rejecting me.

I thought I had move on, but Y do I miss her so so so so much now….

Thus I came up with this thinking…

“Before I met her, I block out myself from the outside world. Whatever space I have in my heart, I just fill it with myself. I just started to be very self centered.

After I met her, I release myself from the blockages and started to embrace the outside world. I started to fill my heart with her. I just kept thinking of her no matter what I do or should I say everything I did was for her.

After she left, I tried to release her from my world. I tried to let her go. And as I did, the empty space left by her was just too much to bear. I still miss her.”

…..

Hey guys, if you find me a bit despo of late, please understand that I am just trying to fill up these empty spaces. I think I just need to be entertained by others.

…..

On the bright side, Lulu recently commented that my REN YUAN with the girls are actually very good. And I must agree with that somehow. The reason I have is that I have 2 sisters thus maybe that y I could communicate better with the opposite sex. But Lulu, please understand this REN YUAN I had is not helping my love life. Its still in a mess.

…..

Another comment I had was from a girl, she said I have become more ‘nerd’. For this, I actually have a reason for it. I study like hell for the past year, with a score of zero for having a life. I think this will explain the change in my physical look. Hopefully the new year will change for the better.

……

Who will fill up the empty spaces left by her?

Working on my Birthday...

Hi all,

As the clock strike 12 midnight, I will be 23 years old already.

Time fly pass very fast.

A year has passed and nothing much since to have change to me.

Thankfully, I felt I did not deproved but I also did not improve as a person.

Love life is still in a mess. Family problems are also increasing. Kangtaos are happening a lot more often the past year. Kangtaos created by myself is also higher than ever.

Moreover, life started to seem so boring the past year. Study, library, home.

At home, I’ve even become a worse – My new found interest – watching and renting Vcds home and burn those that I never finish watching.

Basically, it all sums up – NO LIFE for the pass 1 year.

The only thing I could at least be happy about is my grade. Although it is no where near a third class GPA, I still improved.

Thus, hopefully so, my next year will be a better year!

Nt: To so many of you that still have no idea… my birthday is 4th of June.

BUT THE OWNER OF THE RESTAURANT JUST TOOK MOST OF THE MONEY AND LEFT. they did not have enuff Dong to exchange with us! wassssuuuuPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP mannn!! haha and theses are just a few incidents i can rem offhand. damn funnyyy i think its just us! and we have already been in touch with all the singapore embassy possible in the 2 countries. Vientiane in Laos for my fren's camera, Hanoi in Vietnam regarding the border crossing kangtao.. and now the Ho Chi Minh one cos of my passport. haha!! we really dunno wad to expect for each day and we just take it as it comes. my frens and i often wish at the start of the day that it will not be too happening or full of kangtaos if not we will all stay up late for our diary entries! haha but that said i think there arent many things tt can happen already la.. i hope!

Let us work towards creating a better world...

Hi Guys,

Today, I help my sister to go from Dhoby Ghaut to Boon Lay to buy a present for her BF. The whole journey cause 3 hrs.. its like 9.30pm when I reach home.

If you are wondering y will I do that, I have no idea. In fact before I did this before, I consider myself quite selfish. Or only doing things that will eventually benefit myself.

During the 3hr journey, I kept thinking. I was telling myself “Y am I doing this?”.

Then my thoughts went on to her and girlsssssssssssss(I must be truthful, there were a lot of girls that I liked) that I was interested before.

Then I focus my thoughts to just 4 girls. A gal that I like in my JC times, My last 2 ex girlfriends and Her.

Except for my latest ex, I did a lot of special stuff for these gals and it was definitely from the heart. As for my latest ex, it was not that I did not do anything for her, just that it was not as much as others. Thus, I always tell people she is the nicest gal I ever met. It is only when I lose her then I realize how important she is.

Anyway from all these thoughts (the short time span of every relationship; the gals I did things for did not fall for me, even for her), I realize I cannot love anyone or I don’t know how to love or there is just something wrong with me dealing in relationship or I just did not find the gal yet.

Whatever the case, since I cannot love anymore, I should just focus this energy elsewhere.

Let’s backtrack a bit: In “angel” case, I feel that fated is sealed. I am not going into details and I’ve decide to move on.

Lets get back: As I decide to move on and focus my energy elsewhere, I decide to focus this energy on my family and friends instead.

“If I am willingly to do these stuff and not get anything in return, y I cannot spend these time and energy on the people I loved and will appreciate instead and not elsewhere?”

So that is my new idea, to put this energy into good use instead.

Then as I kept thinking, I thought of my business plan, “The planning business” that I always has in mind. I realize the inspiration I have for these idea, came from the thought that I want to see people smile more often.

So I decided to concentrate and came up with a non-profit business idea.

“What I want to see as many happy faces in the world as possible, if I plan an outing for these people and they like it, they will smile. As the Chinese always say, if you help others, you will be happy too.”

So lets spread the love around.

Nt: Will elaborate more on this idea another time.

Disclaimer: just wanted to put a disclaimer this morning for the post i put last nite. Anyway, whatever i said here may or may not happen, but at least this is how i feel now.

WASSSSUUUPPP!!

hey guys!! got miss me norrttt? haha in Hanoi now. arrived yday from Laos, after some errr not so pleasant experiences at the border cos we nearly couldnt make it here man. apprarently singaporeans dun need a visa to travel to vietnam but we need to produce a ticket out of vietnam within 30 days cos they dun wan us to overstay kinda thing. my frens and i only had air tix to Laos and out from Cambodia, along the way we intended to travel by bus from Laos to Vietnam and Vietnam to Cambodia. sooooo bobiannnn we had to travel from the border all the way back on a 3 hr songtheaw ride back to the nearest village from the border and stay for another 2 days. thankfully there was DIALUP internet available and we managed to get air tix out from hanoi to bangkok (we're not even gonna use them!) for US 52!! diaooo righttt yes i knoww.. but after crossing the border to vietnam, we realised the immigrations officers dun really check the eticket that thoroughly so next time gonna just fake a ticket!! we were kinda in distress initially cos this delay meant we had less time for vietnam and cambodia but oh well, its part of the experience i guess. we just cant seem to get things done the easy way. we're always damn suay to kena this kinda things, my fren lose her camera on the 2nd day in Laos and we headed to S'pore embassy in Vientiane to make a report for insurance claim cos the police offices and tourist offices close at like 4pm and they just refer us from one place to anotherrr.. where to findddd.. we even spoke to the Singapore ambassador there la. made our presence felt in Spore embassy in Hanoi also cos of the border incident. so many other horror stories man! but of course along the way we met alot of gui ren also.. strangers who give us lifts, fellow backpackers from this super handsome guy called Eduador from Chile, Thomas from Austria, a super good looking couple from Germany, a fotojournalist from Britain and loads more! and we only arrived in Vietnam! so many more stories to tell u guys!! ok gtg now for breakfast.. can smell the fried maggots at the roadside liaoo.. cya after 5 june and take care man!

Angel from Heaven...

Hi all…

I am Blackburn (aka Talen in Mr Teh post…)

Life not looking good now... I am just gonna write a short post…

Anyway to anyone who had read my previous post I just wanna clarify, the ending is not the actual ending. It’s just a prediction by me. Right now, I am still in contact with “her”.

Please do not rejoice yet… I must admit I have given her the present with the card and letter, but she had not look at the present yet.

You maybe thinking she might be bluffing me so as not to create awkwardness between us. But I believe her.

This actually led to another ideology I have been thinking.

She does not care about me or has any interest in me! (Hear the thunderstorm)

If anyone is interested in me or put me as a priority, she will at least take15 minutes just to open the present. It seems like she does not even bother.

Anyway really miss her… She came back to the office today but I do not really have the chance to talk to her.

This time round… I really think I have fallen for a girl.

Nt to all members: Be prepared to get jio for supper one day by me.

Can feelings be expressed by words???

For quite a while now I've been trying to leave comments but somehow, I can't seem to do so. I think there must be something really wrong with my comp hence, here's my long awaited entry. Referring to Teh's last entry, I'm one of those who likes to pen down my feelings, may it be in my diary or blog. Although I feel words are impotent to fully describe one's feelings, it's one outlet if you aren't the sort who likes to confide in someone. Having read terence's entries, I'm sure everyone feels for him and i'm no exception. If I've gotten attached recently, I could well be a member of the Zi Bi Club. Well... Who knows how long my relationship can last??? You guys should be no stranger to who my gf is by now. I know deep down inside that some of you detest it, some just prefer to sit on the fence and some subtlely giving me support. Whatever it is, I've no hard feelings against any of you coz I know what positions you peeps have in my heart. Without you guys, there won't be me. I may not express my gratitude but this is honestly how I feel. What I'm doing now is something really out of the norm and it's no wonder many of you can't accept. Come on guys, this isn't the first day you know me. I always have the knack of doing crazy shit even if it means the consequences may be grave. I've always been rather liberal and deviant but Jon (ALvin's classmate) has broaden my perspective even wider. It's kinda ironic if you think bout it. I was the one who's supposed to be counselling him. He said my family is kinda dysfunctional so from young, I didn't really get to appreciate the bliss of a happy family that's why I always dive in like a headless chicken when I love someone. Hell!!! For the 23 years of my life, I've never thought of it this way. He does make some sense, mind you. Fancy a 16 year old teaching a 23 how to view things from another angle. What a disgrace!!! Whatever it is, I've to reiterate my stand. This applies to all. If you like someone or something and you see a glimmer of hope, just fricking go for it. Seriously, you never know when the grim reaper will come knocking on your door so dun take any chances. It's true that sometimes you may come across as being immoral but who's to judge you. As long as you dun resort to unscrupulous means, no one can pass a verdict like dat on you. You're merely working hard for what you desire. Having said so, if there really is no hope at all, there's no point wasting time and effort. It's definitely hard to move on but we just gotta try, if you know what I'm saying. So dudes, I dun need your support. All I'm asking for is your understanding. You guys dun calll me "Psycho" for no reason rite...

I know

Reading Talen's post made me reminsce about the time I got dumped. Like Talen, I wrote, wrote and wrote, everything that I wanted to say. Everyone goes through that period. Just to share your sorrows, this is what I wrote. It's a bit long, boring and in chinese so pardon me. Please click on the image if you wish to read it. If not, please feel free to ignore this rubbish.

Hi all,

Movies always comes in a trilogy, so is my story.

“… At lunch time one day, he and she went shopping for some clothing. She found a top that she like but has none of her size.

He decided to help her find this top. He went to bugis then to orchard. At last after a few places, he found one which has her size.

He wants to give her this top as a parting gift for her.

On the second last day, she felt uneasy as she felt most of his attention was on her. Finally, she opened her mouth, ‘erm… thanks for the help… I know you have been really helpful towards me when I am working her, but it’s sometimes too much and I cannot concentrate.’ This is definitely a big blow towards him. To her, he was just being helpful. But for him, he was never really this helpful to anyone, he really like her.

Still after that blow, he still decides to give her the gift at the last day. With it, were a card and a letter. The letter actually states most of his feelings. He hope after she read through the letter, she will actually understand his feelings.

….

That night, he dreamt of an angel falling from the sky…

…..

After that last day, she still did not get back to him.

….

The End…”

Sorry if my story does not really flow and I never really explain y she was an angel, I’m sorry.…. And this story is not entirely fictional.

Love will never be easy, and if you give, you may not get back as well.

Hi all,

Know what… Firstly, I have to apologize to some of you for my attitude recently when we go out. I know I have been very “sian” when we are out. I guess it’s just been hard. There are so many things that I have been frustrated about. It’s just that “We” will not be working together anymore within 7 days. And I just become very confused of what I should and should not do. I cannot imagine what will happen after that.

I guess this time I have really put in quite a lot. Putting my heart into making her happy and hoping that she understands.

Moreover there is something that she said which has been bothering me. She said to her, “Relationship is on chemistry and feeling.” To me, at the rate she is replying my smses, I suppose it will be chemistry no more after the 7th day from now.

So I have been thinking… What should I do then? Express myself? Ask her the ultimate question? See how she feels?

However, the irony is also that I understand “fools rush in”. I believe these things are stuff that we should not be rushing in. Furthermore, I think she still do not really know me. I do not want problems arising in the future.

My thoughts are just like the comments coming in… some say “give the Big Hint”… some say “pls just give up”… others just say “pls wait”… So I am just confused.

Eventually, I just wanna say sorry if I did not portray the right attitude to you guys recently. I just hope things work out.

……..

Angel & I 2

“….He began to become confused about what he should do with these feelings he had for her.

Express himself? Ask her to be his gf? Ask her how she feels about him?

Things just got more complicated.

He tried to give some hints. When she said, ‘I feel like eating sweets’, he rush to buy sweets for her. When she has a sore throat, he rushes to buy lozenges for her. When she asks him for help, he did not give the slightest of hesitation.

As for her, she was an angel, not an idiot. She got the hint. But she was just too busy to get into any relationship. Moreover, she is someone who does not go after guys. She just does not have to do that.

As time went by, it got to the last week of her working week. He started to panic about what will happen if she is gone. After all she is the one who made him believe in love again.

He began to ask around for help.

To be continued…”

Angel & I...

Hi all,

I am going to tell ya a story…

Angel and I…

“One day, an angel fell from the sky into the human world. Whatever happens before this is up to one’s imagination. But whatever happened later should explain this mysterious event.

She was then born into a family of 4. Being the youngest in the family, she was being very well protected and taken care of. She grew up into a beautiful, sporty, friendly and nice 18 year old girl.

In the meantime, another guy was also born into the world. He was also the youngest and pampered in the family. He grew up to become what most of his friends will call him, a mummy’s boy… it is a 21 years old mummy’s boy.

These two people’s walks very different paths.

Since she is pretty and sporty, guys went for her like bee to a flower. Being the flower, she has an opportunity to choose. Thus regarding the subject of love, there was not much issue for her. As she was also an angel, she is very nice to everyone and so everyone likes her.

For him, being the mummy’s boy, he does not seem to appeal to most girls. Thinking like getting home early, having no money most of the time and no car made things worst. However, life was still good to him. With regards to education, he is accepted into university. He also had girlfriends, but things always did not work out, he when he put in 200%. Finally, he began to lose confidence in himself and also love.

On a particular day in April, these two people’s path crosses. He had an internship in a company where she happened to work in. They clicked immediately.

On day 1, they chatted.
On day 2, they went out as friends.
On day 3-4, they chatted more.
On the fifth day, they went on another date. This was the turning point of the story.

Initially as the guy was not confident with love, he did not want to get involved in anymore relationship. Moreover, he thought she was so nice; he will not be able to measure up to her. The most pathetic thing was that he cannot swim but she likes water sports.

But on their second date, things started to change. As they say “fools rush in”, he started to develop real feelings for her.

The first thing that went through his mind was that “She is a girl that I will definitely treat like a princess, at least I will try.”

Next the feeling of obsession sets in. He was thinking her day and night. But the stupid thing was after the 2nd date, it was the first time that he was separated from her for a long time (Long time = more than 24hrs). He started to make stupid moves like sms and calls. She did not reply nor return calls. As he was always thinking of her, it was a very tough period. But still he got through.

After this obsession phase, he realize things were not in his control and he should just take it easy and let nature take its course. Chatting, eating, working with each other was enough to make him satisfied. The only thing he wanted was a smile from her.

On the other hand, she was too busy with her own stuff to notice his feelings. She seems to treat him just as a friend. Moreover, she treats everyone so nice, and he may have taken the wrong signal.

As time went by, he started to know more about her and began to like her even more. However, he still has to hide his feelings as he doesn’t want to lose a friend.

Love was never an easy issue for him and her.

……… to be continued.”

I know this story is not fantastic and seem stupid. I also guess everyone can guess the ending, “and they live happily ever after”. This is what I hope so.

Anyway I dedicated this story to everyone who wants and hopes to be in love… and also to her. Hopefully everyone can find his/her angel.

Miss her already.

Nt: Did I tell you guys that she actually could get hold of out blog URL somewhere …. Thus she could be reading this as you are reading this.

Alegna... the angel that falls from the sky...

Hi all,

Today some big shit happened… Some flowers reached my office… It is hers… Apparently the flowers were not from me…

This is definitely some shock… This means someone is also interested in her…

But as time goes by, I realize she kept replying smses… it seems to be from that guy… the fact that she kept replying the sms and typing long messages seems to be something going on…

I felt like I have lost… In office, I even still have to work with her and talk to her… even have to fake smile… and the fact is I am just sad…

Whatever it is… I’ve talk to people, even people in my office… and my decision is that I am not going to do anything… I’ll let nature take its course… after all, its just another week…

On my way home, I realize all I want is to see her smile… No matter whatever happens in the future.

Nice Guys End Up Last...

Hi all,

What has happened to the freaking world...? I am not just talking about girls… but humans generally. As my title says it all, nice guys always end up last.

Let’s just start with my family, excluding my father, mother, sisters and my grandparents. I think the rest of them are freaking ******. I shall not go into details. It’s not nice to say bad things about our family. The worst case scenario is that I may not have a house to live in when I reach home one day. Bad things happen when people live together. These things tend to happen only to nice people.

Whatever it is, whenever you thought all is over, it starts again… For this, I am saying about the other side of human beings. The Bad one…

There is just so much anger and sadness in me right now. So if you do not understand what I am talking about, pardon me.

The other thing is what I have been confused about. How can someone treat you so nice one moment and so cold the next?

For me, Sms is an important factor in life. A Sms means a thought. It can be something nice or bad. It does not matter, cos at least the person thought of you.

Recently, I have been messaging “her” and she did not reply. But whenever she messages me, I replied her straight away. Afterwards, when I message, she will not reply me. I can take it that she is busy and cannot reply me. But why does it happen so frequently?

There is a reason y I become so emotional when she did not reply me, cos I have fell for her. I’m falling into this black hole where I don’t know what’s happening next. I don’t even know if she is interested in me. Maybe she just treats me as a friend, a very good friend.

Whenever we are in the office, we chit chat like there is no tomorrow. I really feel the chemistry is there. But after work or during weekends, I will have the cold shoulder from her. It likes whatever happened during office hours is a dream, not a reality. That is why I think maybe she only treat me as a friend.

Another reason I become so emotional is because of a few factors. Firstly, I think she is a really nice girl. She may not be the prettiest, but she is really nice. I never thought I will meet someone this nice after Rachel. Secondly, despite working in the Christian organization, I met her, someone not of the Christian religion. I must say I do not have anything against Christians, just that I had bad experience before with people of this religion. Thirdly, it is the chemistry. It is something I never feel for a long time. Fourthly, it’s the reciprocation I felt from her. Even when I am not sure whether she likes me, she seems to be giving back at times. Lastly, it is her smile. I really like it when she smiles. Even if it’s at me, it does not matter. I just hope she is happy.

Anyway, I will only be seeing her for another week or so. Thus, I am worried. I may never know if she liked me. In fact, I actually have plans up my sleeve but friends have talked me out of it. They told me not to dig my own grave.

But really, I do not need her to be my GF… I just want to know how she feels about me. Are we just suitable as friends or is progress possible? I know she is the type that will take some time. However, is this really that hard?

I am also worried. I may just be freeze by her coldness after she leaves her position in the organization on 19 May. Then, I may never know the truth nor have the opportunity to meet her again.

My friends have told me to take it easy and ask her to stay in contact. I guess that’s all I can do now. After all, I also hope to not lose her as a friend.

For all those stupid stuff that I have done for her, hopefully she’ll appreciate one day.

Nice guys will always end up last… This is the only truth out there…

Again… Pardon me for my structuring, my vocabulary, my language and my writing. I am just feeling so lousy right now and need a place to pour my sorrows.

Hi,

It is me again. Surprise to see me so fast again after my previous post? This is because I want to tell u the kangtao I had just now.

Lets just say girls will mainly be included in most of my kangtao.

Just now I was helping out at my YMCA internship and I was pair with a sweet looking girl. This looks like an opportunity that drop from heaven. In my mind, I was thinking, “Goodbye singlehood, Hello lovelife.”

Then we were assigned to do our duties. We were always within 5 metres of each other. So we chat, here and there, in between our duties. I kept wanting to get her number but just cannot seem to get the opportunity. Then the chance came.

She asks me to go for her school (XX Poly) choir concert. We talk about the concert and I gave her the impression that I wanted to go. This is the chance to take her number!!!

But as usual of me… I did not. Neither did I buy the tickets on the spot, even when she hinted that I don’t have much time to think whether I want to go.

Anyway, things went on and on…. Then it was lunch.

At lunch, we still chat with a group of 6 other volunteers. Time went on and I know time is running out…

Then the deciding moment came… She has to leave… After walking 5 steps from the table, she looked at me then ask me about the concert again.

I said, “Yes, I wanna go.”

Then she replied, “Then how I contact you?”

I thought for a while, then I said, “Never mind then lor.”

WHAT A BIG IDIOT!!! What an idiot… This is a heaven sent opportunity and I missed it…

Although I think she is not the prettiest around, I thought she is the sweetest. Really my type…

Hai… there goes another self-made kangtao I just have..

Mendi, don’t make the same mistake k…!

Where is my Mojo?

Hi,

It’s been a long time since I write anything…

On 18 April 2007, I went clubbing for the 1st time in at least half a year. IT WAS KANGTAO. I did not have any ti toe chances; neither do I have any half-chances. Most of the people were Malays or Indians. It is not that I have something against them. If they want to ti toe me, provided she is lookable, I don’t mind. But there is none.

And worse, they were all looking at the guy beside me, Psycho’s friend.

I must admit he is boyish looking, not bad for a guy. But Y is everyone looking at him? One even went as far as start saying he is cute and dancing with him. I was just beside him.

The most kangtao thing is that girl has a friend, and that girl’s friend doesn’t have any intention to dance with me.

In the end, I was dancing alone the whole night. This was a big blow to Mojo. Thus, I had to put my blame on something.

I decided it was my hair. Looking around at the dance floor, I realize I did not style them properly. This is because I had long hair at that time, I don’t know how to style long hair. So the next day, I went to Serangoon Central and got an $8 hair cut.

Now, my hair is short and I still find it kangtao.

23 - A Sacred Number...

Still recovering from the cheesy overdose from yesterday's BBQ sotong. First and foremost, (not foreskin la hequan!), I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude on behalf of the rest of the guys for the following people who made it all possible:

1. Amendi for her immaculate planning and execution, we appreciate the effort, esp the cards too.. they were beautiful, how come my birthday dun have so steadip card ah??

2. Kumar for liasing with Ang Heng to book the BBQ pit and coming out with the idea of the marvelous location! Thanks for the cake too..super nice man..

3. Binghan for making the effort in going down early to amendi's house to help prepare the food and bringing all the stuff down. Kudos!

4. Kavitha (I hope I spelt her name correct) for bringing the very colorful fruit pastries, they were awesome and filling!

5. Kumar's mother for her delicious bee hoon which filled our stomachs while we waited impatiently for the food to get cooked.

6. Joanne for single-handedly starting the fire..STill can't believe u guys let the lady do the dirty job man...

7. Myself for just being there.

I enjoyed myself thoroughly and hoped the birthday boys did too. It was a long overdue BBQ, we should do it more often man, cheap and fun! this time come toa payoh, Benny volunteered to organise!

I think the only minor issue was the pit a little too small, but it was alright in my opinion coz i'm a patient man..haha..

I think we broke the record for the most amount of garlic bread consumed within 3 minutes. One minute there was a whole heap of it, the next it was all gone thanks to ah du, HE DIN EVEN BOTHER TO BBQ THE GARLIC BREAD BEFORE EATING LOR!!~~

The food was sumptous, and the sotong was Superb man, whose idea was it to put cheese inside? it rocked!

Glad to see so many ppl turn up last night, if i'm not wrong, the number hit 20! Amazing considering how busy we all are! I loved the mini conversations that were going on all around, especially the one at the end where the issue circulated around He Quan..don't ask me wat it was, but i could hear loud and clear from where i was sitting, and it forced me to be awake for the rest of the night because of the explicit content.

With Psycho Sof & Yazeed it would have been complete, but i'm sure the next bbq will not be far away..

oh yah btw hor, not that i'm complaining, but i juz realised that was the first time in my life that i've attended a bbq without a single chicken wing! but who cares, we had fun anyways!

On a personal note, just to let u guys know, WANFANG is the last person in the world you can trust with a secret. Since you all know liao, above is a preview, for the benefit of the guys, any kip huip don't ask me who is it hor.. I won't entertain..Tell you guys the full story another day...

You'll Never BBQ Alone,
Alonso

Yes... I am Back... For Now...

Hi Guys…

Been a long time seen I type anything on this blog… Totally no time… has been in school for the past 3 weeks 24/7… tired and bored… Moreover, Exams coming and I am having 4 BIG EXAMS… compared to only 1 I had last term… Hell is coming, so will Mr Blackburn Zombie… Look Out!

Anyway… Watch “Miss Little Sunshine” recently… super funny, super nice, Go watch it!

Just for some further update and some stress reliever…

If you want to know more about one of us, u can go another blog (which I found out recently) http://www.whatliesbeneaththisfacade.blogspot.com/. Just a point of note from my point of view for this blogger, go have fun and do whatever you like. Unless you cannot take it anymore and really depress, there is always us.

Stress reliever for those in school… quite funny… http://images.ainulnaim.multiply.com/content/movie/ainulnaim:video:8/ainulnaim/8.swf/n4XMLNmBtG87t1fYhMu7mg/malay2me.swf

Lastly, I had this funny conversation with a group member (a girl) late one night of my meeting.

During that time, it was quite late and I am hungry, tired, pissed. So I kept scolding the 4-letter word during the meeting.

Then, that girl suddenly said, “hey Terence, y you keep scolding the 4 letter word. This will change the literal meaning of the word.”

Being the brainless me as usual, I tried hard to think through my brain and I answered her. “hey, but U don’t expect me to say this during my making-out right?” and I continued “You don’t expect me to say “I am going to f*** you now, my wife” right? This will make it sound like a porn movie. It will turns me off.”

…………ok……. I know what you are all thinking…. Haha… So here I apologize to this girl and hopefully she was not offended…

That’s all for now!

See ya on Sunday!

St Wilfrid - Home of Team GMH

Yo guys,

Yesterday me and Terence went to the St. Wilfrid field to book 3 sessions on the 5 aside artificial turf. The following are the dates and timing. I sincerely believe it is a much better alternative then the cage.

Firstly, it has boundaries, meaning the ball can go out of bounds instead of being stuck in the corner (damn boliao). Secondly, it is much more convenient because it is located beside Boon Keng Mrt. Although it’s a 10 mins walk to the place from the Mrt, it’s definately nearer than the damn cage from Kallang, location wise and walking distance wise. The quality of the turf is, in my opinion, the same as the cage. It is definately bigger and has more space on the flanks. After that still can go eat KFC or Macdonalds!

And most importantly, it costs only $23.20 per 2 hours!! That works out to merely $1 plus per person!

The only drawback is that in the event of a downpour, our money will not get refunded. Considering it is that cheap, I don’t think a lot of people will mind.

So here are the details:

11 March, Sunday - 1-3pm

17 March, Saturday - 1-3pm

25 March, Sunday - 1-3pm


Those were the only available timeslots left.

So pls mark it down on your calendars and keep that mere 2 hours of your life free. Don’t say we didn’t tell you guys in advance.

For Psycho and Ah Du and Sof if you can, pls take leave on those days or try to start work late. It will be super happening.

Terence will be counting the numbers on each FRIDAY, so LET HIM KNOW BY EACH FRIDAY IF YOU GUYS CAN MAKE IT.

(Btw guys, he promised to bring a new kip huip to play soccer with us on those days. The gal he met in Sentosa who shares the same passion for soccer with us. If you are reading this, welcome aboard! I guarantee you will have loads of fun! Terence is working on it as I’m typing this, so let’s all give him moral support! YOU CAN DO IT TALEN!) If you fail, don’t come. Haha...

The best number is 12, because I figured 6 a side is the best, no more no less. So pls don’t call Kangtao Kias along.

This is the start of court-less soccer for good, because frankly the soccer ball is meant to roll on grass, not concrete. It pains the ball and it pains me.

And frankly, I’ve gotten sick of playing at that place.

For those who don’t have boots, now is a good time to invest in a pair. Terence and Bing are already getting new ones.

In the long run, we will get used to playing on the field and in due time, we can play on the 11 a side pitch!

Dawn of an exciting new era.

So if any Lao Jiaos happen to stumble across this blog, ADIOS AMIGOS!

Have fun picking balls from road sides and running the risk of killing some old person. Have fun waiting for ½ an hr for your turn especially if the Calendar Retards decide to come on Sunday instead of the agreed Saturday.

Bye Ah Seng, you will be sorely missed. It was fun while it lasted.

I’m sorry to my nemesis, I didn’t have a chance to say a proper goodbye, but you taught me how someone with Delayed Response Syndrome would react.

We would never find out if Endless was indeed Lulu’s long lost kin.

We would never find out Anthony’s age.

Lawrence, you were maybe the best they’ve got, but your hair puts me off.

We have moved on to Ashton Grove.

The Emirates wasn’t the fortress we hoped it would be.

Overall Head to Head record: Team GMH won 52 Drawn 0 Lost 50

We won.

(Ps: Bye provision shop auntie, thanks for being there when our throats were dry, lips were split. You nourished our soul and gave us strength to carry on. You are my unsung hero.)
