am i happy or am i happy?! haha~ it has 2 years and 2 months since i last saw my pink i/c, and now it's right in front of me! no more terrible waking up every morning to the words of "ser-di-ya" or "se-nang-di-ri"! i feel good~ da-da-da-da-da!

but seriously, to be honest. i feel kinda weird. i felt far much happier on my last COG parade (which coincides with the last working day of my NS life). today was like a day that passed without much significance.

woke up later than i intended and rushed down to the camp, knowing some of the personnels may be involved with the SAF day parade's corp-of-drums. met ryan on my way up the blardy hill to the white house and saw maswan and the group of band a ppl doing pt. and i waved to them happily. finally, it's the day, i told myself.

so, first signature to get for the day: cpt johnson lee. learnt he's in the canteen so i took my time wandered about the place, going to hq, learning razak's in canteen too, and finally decided to go band a office to slack. saw joel goh and whats-the-french-horn-guy's-name in there, and hell i dun really wan to chat wif joel goh. prayed that johnson lee come up to office real soon, and he did, zipping into the office calling out to me at the same time, saying he only got 5 min to spare. *gasp*

next: warrant razak. heard that he's waiting for me in his office and that he's rushing off to the SAF day rehearsal. *argh* ran all the way into the hq and he's standing there in his office looking quite stressed while he's staring at his own appointments board. "er, morning sir~" and then he beamed at me. *GASP* first time in my own entire NS life he smiled at me! wow~ and he motioned me to take a seat while he signed my papers. "all the best!" he said, and it sounded very sincere. wow~

next: cpt philip tng. i tiptoed to outside his office and stared in. yup~ he's there. he looked busy with his paperworks, damn. could i disturb him? i asked chief timidly before chief answered me yes in a very why-did-u-ask? manner. *knock knock* and i went in. chit-chat chit-chat. sign sign. done! YEA!

last but not least (i dun really like to use these four cliche words. wut does it mean exactly? who coined this phrase? why the hell is this phrase so popular in singapore?): chief. "Zhengyong, sorry, but gimme me 5 mins!" she exclaimed when i approached her. *ops* she's in working mode. thru out my 2 years in ns, i learnt something abt her. she's very nice, but NEVER DISTURB HER when she's working. she can SCREAM! ya, i did see her blow her top before. it was very scary. anyway, i jus walked away politely and continued bitching wif zhengguo, weixin, arthur and ssg tham at the hq duty table.

and then. "zhengyong! come come!" YEAH!!! and so i collected my pink i/c. chief did some alterations to my 11B card and gave me loads of papers: certificates la, one copy of the clearance form la, a booklet la, etc etc. and so, uninterestingly, i'm officially civilian.

arthur pulled me into a piano room to record a song. then i went off to look for wenjing for lunch. played a couple of game of "tiao4 fei1 ji1" at the smoking corner before i said my last good bye to the white house and nee soon camp.

and that's it.

ya... nothing special. no significant event, except razak smiling. er... ya.

until now, the feeling of ORD-ing has yet to sink in. mmm~ still, i'm happy to see my pink i/c and how young i used to look. HAHAHA~

Wow, i must tell you it's pretty exciting to see the number 1 at my countdown section to my ORD date. haha! i'm collecting my pink I/C this tuesday peeps! i'm gonna officially be a civilian! yesh!

~//~
had been really in the mood these few days. guess i've brightened up after meeting up wif so many of my old frens, reminding me of the times when i'm happy everyday jus seeing them and chatting to them.

had an impulse to just drag random songs from my 14gb collection of mp3 songs into my mp3 player and put them on shuffle mode. had quite a great time on the bus listening to songs i havent been listening to in a while. one of the songs is "Ain't Going Down (Till The Sun Comes Up)". i first heard this song being done by Latoya London on AI3 and totally loved the groove, and it brightened up my dreaded weekends which were packed with things and stuffs.

~//~
feeling slightly more stressed, and even more reluctantly on working on the things i'm supposed to be doing. haha~ slept thru the entire afternoon today, terrible. i've discovered slacking days are making me more ill-disciplined. must do something abt it. *argh* yet, i'm jus lazy to do so.

perhaps the pink i/c will do something to my life. haha!

ok, a pointless entry. juz wanna say i've included an embedded song into my blog and that i'm ord-ing and collecting my pink i/c in roughly 30 hours time!! woah!!

*dancing-to-the-music-on-my-blog*,
Johnzzon

ps, if u have to know, the english words in the recording is not my voice. only the chinese words were spoken by me. of course i did alterations to the voice pitch and added LOTS of effects. haha~

 

had been quite sick, yet still not having enuf rest, thinking abt the stuff i need to complete. feeling a bit stressed after all.

actually wanna say that this whole entry is dedicated to the three person whom i shuang3 yue1 that day on 27may, but haiz. i don't know... i'm really losing track of time, and i keep thinking i still got lots of it, thinking every day is still as free as another and i'm just passing days like there's always a tomorrow.

so when yeokie asked me when i'm free, i actually managed to answer "next friday lor" in a very "shuang3 kuai4" manner, totally forgetting an important event which i need to attend: jeremy's last performance concert as an SAF Central Band member. then two days later, i was asked by keith to join his 21st birthday party. i felt so weird, knowing the party clashed with the jc outing. worst of all, i need to find out that the concert was on 27th may on the prev saturday.

three events, one night. how? somemore the date of the jc outing was suggested by me. but then, jeremy had reserved tix for us long ago, and if i don't go, i feel like i've wasted his efforts. then keith, argh, how? how? he's one of the reasons i managed to survive TCHS 4L without turning into a hypocritic ah beng like somebody with the initials same as kokwee.

i tot of going to all three events, but dun noe if i could make it. and due to the feeling of obligation, i decided to not go for the jc class outing. haiz. so sorry! this is really all my fault. but i really could not remember dates anymore. the only date really in my mind now is my own ORD date which i'm counting down very faithfully since one month ago. yet, i've lost concept of days (as in monday, tuesday, wednesday, etc.) and everyday felt like a sunday.

i felt that my lifestyle is kind of sucky. unhealthy too. and my time-planning for the next half a year is, i guess, gonna be more of a hectic. NTU, hall-life, Skyblue, AI band & Kim Seng band. i feel like giving up on certain activities.

stupid me have to make myself occupied all the time. perhaps i don't want to tink about certain stuff and i am (and will always) look forward to meeting my frens (that's why i try to tink of dates that are pretty close to a current date, not like one month later.)

To yi, mu, yeokie: i'm really really sorry! i promised! next three outings, i'm gonna plan kay? no matter how difficult. sorry that this had to happen, and there's actually no one else to blame except for myself, so i could not really give a satisfactory explanation. so sorry! :(

wa, it was a terrible day of travelling & meeting ppl & travelling & meeting other ppl. haha~

~ // ~
woke up at arnd 12pm, but lazed around until 1pm before i stepped out of my room. decided to go bukit panjang plaza to have lunch. *sob* mum's not in town, so there's no one to cook lunch for me. :(

took a bus down to orchard cos i need to get keith lee's present, and to go kino to buy the book (using my sis' membership card. got 20% wor!). almost did not manage to find the book, and got glared at by a group of stupid students went i tried to reach out to the book i wanted which was blocked by them sitting in front of the book shelf. when i walked away, i overheard them saying "wa, that guy very weird lor~". sheesh, that's what i got from being courteous and politeful. "you shd hav shouted 'EXCUSE ME' lor," my sis said later.

ya, anyway, sis asked me to get for her a comic book and suggested i meet her up since she's in town too. so, i bought the stuff and headed towards far east where she's setting up the display for her stuff at Pandora's Box. den i continued looking around for the present for keith lee.


Pandora's Box  | My Sister's Cubicle 

managed to get a cute little fridge (which was in fact a radio and a clock) for him. we went down to my sis' former workplace, raffles' city's MPH, where i lazed around and looked for interesting books to add to my future book shopping list. before i left, i was informed that i wud get a free adidas watch for buying a new and weird magazine called *check again* Asialink. haha, and the mag is only $7.80! "u can throw away the magazine after that la" my sis' fren suggested, "and i got myself four!" haha, so tempted i was that i got one. *bleahz*


My New Adidas Watch 

~ // ~
met alec and gang up, and we walked to esplanade library to accompany joshua to do the bookdrops, den walked all the way back to raffles city shopping centre for dinner. met junyu (and jeffrey) and fazil too. had dinner at BK. and proceeded to go to VCH for the James Barnes' Concert.


The SAF Central Band at VCH 

Hobart Centennial
nice march, was noticing how james barnes was using different section to protray the same trio theme which was repeated for at least 4 times. nice~

Festive Music for Singapore
somebody had to tell me this song sucked big time before the concert. and i had a bad impression of it. i saw the conductor score before and it was quite a weird and messy song. but in the end it turned out to be very much enjoyable! the contrasting sections playing the main melody (which was a very simple minimalistic tune) and the accompaniment (consisting of punctuated rhythms and varying accents) made the whole piece sound very pictorial. and when the bluesy part came in, i was thrown into a very big fantasy-like place which i often experienced listening to pieces like Rhapsody in Blue. it was, tho not perfect, quite fantastic and very unlike any piece James Barnes had composed.

Poetic Intermezzo
my first time listening to this piece. sounded like his another work called Romanza. very fluid, very flowing. and Zhongqin's solo was very nicely done.

Fantasy Variations
when i get news that any band is going to try this piece, i wud always go like "riight". it is, to me, a very technical piece and often will bore ppl out halfway thru the piece. interestingly, this time round, it didn't.

the first one-third of the piece (before the slow-theme) was portrayed in a very operatic comedy style (tink something like a Shakespeare's comedy, not comedies like "Dude, Where's My Car?!"). i especially liked the exaggerated solo by the contra-bassoon set against the muted trombones.

the slow section, oh boy, this is the start of the downfall of the whole concert. Victor Soh's stupid footsteps down the platform, overpowering horn soli, squeaking clarinets. damn it, i cudn't even concentrate on listening to the song anymore (i was giggling all the way).

last part. the percussion section was in a mess and i totally cudn't hear much of the band. the song ended in a style contrasting to how they started the piece, a comedic tragedy.

Alvamar Overture
my highlight for the night. i waited all the way from the beginning of the concert to listen to this song. and... damn it, they HAVE to destroy it. firstly, it was messy, most probably due to the fact that everyone has heard different tempos of this piece and everyone is doing their own interpretation. the slow part, was not melodic and lyrical enough, and the woodwind sections was overpowering most of the lower brass melodic lines with their holding notes. (hello, nobody really cares if u can hold your notes that long u know. this is no American Idol finals.) and, damn, the third part has to start off which Victor Soh TOTALLY cocking up the snare drum part which STARTS off the whole momentum of the last section. and in the end, the last allegro section was of no energy and no excitement. there was no climax and no thrill in listening to them play the intersecting allegro and slow themes. terrible. the WORST rendition of Alvamar Overture i ever heard.

and with that, i left the VCH to rush down to Keith Lee's place to celebrate his 21st birthday.

~ // ~
by the time i reached, i was so tired and groggy (my nose was running all the time) and i had to jus sit there and listen to my 4L's ppl socializing with one another. the only happy thing was edmund mentioning my complexion has improved dramatically. (WOAH~!)

didnt manage to go to 01S21's outings. by the time i reached home, i was so damn dizzy and tired that after i took my medicine, i wandered off into my own dreamworld.

Prologue from Mixed Signals by Michael Chiang

 

Another year, another idol. haha, i wonder if by the time American Idol X, will i hav like 8 idols. keke. (i missed the first 2 seasons)

so... the new American Idol is crowned, Carrie Underwood.



well, i must admit, i didn't really catch much of this season's episodes. caught a few episodes here and there. guess the few ppl who stood out were constantine, bo bice and carrie underwood. constantine becos of the weird way he sang his songs, like his in some mesmerizing mode with his eyes; bo bice cos he's so natural, especially when he did the terribly old song "Stand By Me"; carrie underwood cos... er... *blushes* she resembles Reese Witherspoon, and a much prettier version too... so... *blushes*

but when i saw her singing "Bless the Broken Road" (in the same episode as Bo doing "Stand by Me") she really did stand out. wow~ den yh had been supporting her too, so it's quite thrilling when Carrie managed to get to the finals.

it was pretty weird to hear the finale. i must say i was disappointed. carrie was darn nervous la and bo was like so natural. performance-wise, i must say carrie was a bit shaky, whereas bo was jus giving his all trying to prove himself better than carrie, and he did, in that last episode. so, i was really crossing my fingers when the results were almost announced.

and stoopid ryan seacrest had to say "and the winner is Carrie Underwood" in a very quick and matter-of-fact manner which was difficult to digest until i heard carrie sobbing in a sea of screams. haha~

congrats~ carrie. a country girl, a country singer. pure, simple and beautiful.

and that's a compliment to her looks, her character and her voice. :)

Okiez... great. i've been sorting of planning this day ever since i got into SAF bands, but this morning before i stepped into the dentist room, i got a bit freaked out. a visit to the dentist always mean seeing a lot of sharp and disgusting objects, especially when it's a tooth extracting visit.

this is not my first visit to get gave one of my teeth removed. the previous visit was about 4 to 5 years ago? it was when one tooth got seriously decay and i had to get it removed. that was a frightening experience when the dentist had to sit on me and place one of his hands on my head to pin me down onto the seat totally while his other hand tried to yank out the tooth.

today, as i was about to step into the room, that horrible scene came back and i started to feel damn worried. so, all i did was sit down, answered the basic questions posed by the dentist, and closed my eyes, trying to pretend i was under general anesthetic (like someone).

the dentist stared into my mouth and made a remark. "wow, it's gonna be difficult. the angle is very wrong." I opened my eyes in horror at that remark and saw the nurse walked by in front of me holding a very large syringe with a very long and sharp needle. *shit* i closed my eyes immediately.

the next thing i knew (while still having my eyes closed) was the dentist inserting the anesthetic into my gums... a lot of times. A LOT. i totally cannot feel half my mouth (even until now). and then, he took something and started yanking my tooth out. yes, yanking again. only this time, he was yanking it as though he was pumping air into deflated tyres. he was hugging my head at the same time, but because of so much anesthetic (i tink), i couldn't feel a thing, and pretended to be a puppet for him to move around.

suddenly... *ting ting ting*. something dropped onto the floor and the dentist proceeded to pick it up. i didn't bother and jus continue sitting there like an idiot. it was then when the dentist threw something white and red onto the metal plate. "oh~ it's out arh?"

no pain. hmm~

"there's gonna be quite a big cavity in your gums". OH~ sighz...

okay, right now, i'm at home, still with the cotton in my mouth to stop the bleeding. was told not to drink water. had been walking around the house with nothing to do. not even eating or drinking. *sianz*

Yeah! Finally got my new blog design up! all done by myself!! all configured by myself!! oh i'm soo prrooouu.... er... mmm... *stares at screen* something is wrong. it's not really how i intended the design to be.

heck, i was really trying to go for a retro Black White and Red look... u know, like the one in Ocean's Eleven's poster? retro cool hor? but somehow, working on photoshop for the past 2 weeks has been totally unproductive. in the end, i settled for a different look.

i don't really like red, to be honest. but i juz like the ink blop so much~ so cute. haha~ i told myself i had to use it. but then, it's red! bloody red (literally). mmm... heck la, it was 1am in the night and i juz wanna try out. *tapping on the keyboard away*

finally, having three blog templates in front of me as guidelines and basic templates, and two xhtml guides, and my own handdrawn template, i started working using wordpad and photoshop. wa~ tiring sia, switching between the windows AND switching between the pieces of papers to find the ones i needed at the different moments. argh~

well, now that it's finally done, i must say i'm glad, but not really feeling any sense of achievement, basically perhaps i wasn't able to reproduce what i really have in mind. *sad*

how do u find the new look? too red?

The People From My Memories 

i'm pretty afraid of outings, to be honest. i always feel that outings are always ill-prepared and conversations are always very very business-class socialising standards, ie, fake. and i'm always lost for words for wut to say to start a conversation.

but my worries for this outing went away pretty fast when all my frens turned up and words jus start rolling out of our mouths, as if we jus havent seen each other for only a couple of months (when in fact the time frame was almost 2 years or even 3). i feel totally immersed in a very wonderful atmosphere as we recalled the days of our primary school lives, who was trying to hold whose hands and who was rumoured to be going out with who. haha~ it was fun reliving the matters. but at the same time, a very strong notion had struck me during the 6 hours i was with them: we have indeed grown a lot. shengyong sending me flirtious sms abt the difference between sex and love; patrick and sir liang drove to meet us; talking abt coming out for supper at midnights; me talking abt cars and lotsa things we would not be thinking of doing back when we're like really young.

it's scary tho, to be thinking how time flies. yet, it's comforting to know these friends are still around, very comforting actually. i don't feel tired now, i'm just full of energy now because of the hyper mood i was in just now.

thank you guys, for being there. always. :)

Okiez, clever that you've discovered this few lines of invisible words. haha~ actually i put this song in my blog is for a reason. my ultimate wish this year for my birthday party is to hav my frens learn this song and sing it after the loud and rowdy traditional "Birthday Song". haha~ a bit kind of crazy, ain't i? keke. but i wouldn't force it la... ;p

 

after all that hard work, decided i need to take a break being alone and shopping. so after going CDANs to settle some stuff (u guys will know soon), i went down to queensway to do my grooming items shopping. discovered i've got SO MUCH things to buy. so in the end bought these.


They say grooming items say a lot about you. 
wow, notice how blue every item is? no i din alter the colour of the items with photoshop. haha~ but i felt darn happy paying for them, as if they felt very happy to be bought by me and to serve me too. haha~! (i always have this egoistic thinking that i take very good care of every one of my items.) so~ yupz.

after coming home (and using the shampoo and the facial wash... gee~), i've been working on my blog design. ARGH~ still cannot get my thoughts organised. heck~

i'm so sorry to peeps who r looking forward to the new layout and cannot stand this current un-innovative and un-creative one. i've been like so drained out of ideas that i couldn't get anything out of my weeny-skinny brain.

well, since i havent been blogging, shall update a bit la. hor? keke

yesterday was like one of the most interesting days ever since i started clearing leave. met kerwin (my skyblue colleague cum fren) up for KTV during the noon time. totally free. and both of us jus belt our whole out, singing all the high level songs (li sheng jie, lin jun jie, etc.) my throat was damn dry after that. went to city link to catch fazil at his work place. saw that he was busy, so din talk much. went to bugis and met wensen and jiaying there! woah~ so cool. out of pure coincidence! :) den met weiqiang for dinner. when i reached home, went to meet weibin for kopi session (which we used to have very regularly during our jc days).

it was a day full of reminiscence and memories as i met up with people from different stages of my life. weiqiang from primary school, weibin from secondary school, wensen & jiaying from jc, fazil from my army life, and kerwin from my career life. there was so many catching up to be done, and yet, there seemed be to little distance between us as we chatted like there's no tomorrow. it's fun, yet assuring me that friendships do last, no matter what some idiots say to me abt frens being jus a passing phase of your life. no i dun believe that. and yesterday's the proof and testament of this fact. *smilez*

anywayz, after i came back last night from kopi session, i managed to churn out the four different variations to my song (an assignment i received), completing immediately more than 50% of my whole project! yesh~ i've never been so fruitful in my music career before! felt so good, listening to all my babies while i went out for fresh air just now! ALL COMPLETED WITHIN 12 HOURS! yesh~!

okiez, enuf crap and boasting abt myself.

btw, peeps, there is a TAGBOARD on the right. pls leave any messages for me there? anything! absolutely.

more btws, you all can leave comments on my blog one u know? feeling very sad everytime i know ppl has read my blog but nobody has any comments one. is my blog really that terrible?

Academy award winning director Sydney Pollack, academy award winning actor Sean Penn, academy award winning actress Nicole Kidman. what happens when u throw these names together?

to me it symbolises a formula, a kind of publicity itself, a method of getting people to go to the cinemas without even knowing what the movie is about. and that's what i did, walking in with a fairly high level of expectation.

but... (haha, do you start to feel the negativeness? if you do, you're tricked) expecting a very dark political plot, the movie turned out to be fairly enjoyable and not as dark as the name Sydney Pollack promised the movie to be. the plot was quite good in portraying the helplessness and situation where by the two lead characters Silvia (Nicole Kidman) and Keller (Sean Penn) went thru, bringing in fictitious village customs to add on to the theme of revenge.

the acting by the two lead characters were powerhouse, subtle and not over-the-top. the directing was done in a fairly relaxed manner in the beginning, contrasting the moods very drastically as the pace of the movie got faster and the plot thickened. this is not a movie where u expect a lot of action, but you do get a lot of drama and emotional scenes, done in a simple manner that it all felt very real and very current.

it's not a must watch if you're really into these kind of political movies, but it is still a very polished movie that lives up to its expectations.

ah, what a night.

i managed to complete the whole Naruto series up to episode 132, so i'm currently now waiting for the new episode to come out which will most probably feature one of the most climatic fight scene in the whole series.


then i decided to watch the Naruto movie which i just downloaded too. not bad, the sound and the graphics were much better compared to the original anime series. just when i was enjoying (and teaching mr symmetric how to put graphics onto his blog)...



ARGH~~!!
*SCREAM*~~!!


actually i didn't really faint. i did yelp tho. *blush* i saw the cockroach running behind me, so immediately after i saw it crawl behind me desk, i ran to get my Shieldtox. when i came back, i kneeled down into the corner to try to reach behind the desk when suddenly... *SCREAM* the cockroach on top of my head!! for the next hour, i tried to move my stuff from the floor to somewhere (into my shelves, cupboards or out of the room), and i planned my attack.

i sprayed Shieldtox all over the floor so that the smell would irritate it and hopefully it will corner itself. next i made sure there's no holes where the cockroach can crawl into, like opened bags, opened drawers, pencil cases or boxes. then, i proceeded to find the cockroach. Come out come out wherever you are~ just as i was flipping the many pillows on my bed, the cockroach appeared! hiding under one of them, and it happily went up onto the bedframe, stared at me. it was a great opening and chance and i sprayed it hard with my invincible Shieldtox and it dropped onto the floor due to the impact of the sudden spray.

it crawled away~ very quickly~!! and i cud not see where it headed towards. i cautiously looked under my bed. no it wasn't there. oh my~ where is it? where is it? i turned around and *GASP* it's on the top of my printed BEHIND ME! *ARGH* it crawled and stopped, crawled and stopped, as if waiting for me to advance and prepare for its defense. but i couldn't spread it! it's on my printer! damn it! i looked around, found some scrap paper and brushed it off onto the floor.

AND IT FLEW! the damn thing FLEW! it flew in my direction and wanted to attack me! *ARGH* i toppled backwards as if doing some matrix movement and at the moment i fell onto the floor, it missed me and flew behind me.

that was when my mum stepped out of her room due to the commotion. "what happened?" she said while she rubbed her eyes. "COCKROACH!" i yelled. "oh, where?" she asked, emotionlessly. "there there."

the cockroach suddenly stood to attention and prepared for its next attack. at that moment, my mum stepped forward, sprayed it with Shieldtox and kicked it hard towards the wall. *whoosh* *bang* ~HALLEJULAH~

bye bye cockroach.

damn you for making me lose my sleep. urgh~

ok... third blog in the first 24hours of saying i wudn't be blogging soon because of the change in layout. this is so wrong for me to be here. anyway, this particular blog entry has a purpose.

mr symmetric (someone with a nickname that's symmetrical) has asked me to do some editting to his blog layout, and since i wouldn't be free tomorrow (or rather today, since it's past midnight), i had to complete it before i head for dreamland and learning fishing from zhou1 gong1.

now waiting for my FTP program to load so that i can save the code into my website for him to access. my old ftp program's evaluation period has ended without me knowing until 5 mins ago, and my downloading of "naruto" has greatly depleted my bandwidth. shit. so the downloading for my ftp program is like 5kbps, in layman's terms, TAKING FOREVER!

mr symmetric, u really owe me a treat. i'm tired, sleepy and hungry. please do know wut to do. :)

[3:46am] YEA~ the downloading's complete. so i'm going to install the ftp program now.

[3:50am] yesh! i finished uploading. so mr symmetry, happy bloggin!

[4:07am] FLYING COCKROACH IN MY ROOM! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Firstly, like to say sorry if you're not expecting anything new. Cos I just HAVE to blog this down. it's too... dramatic! anything, isn't it great? u got something new here to read, or else why r u here? haha~]

it was an attempt to get out of my stuffy house to try to breathe some outside world air. there's something sick about the air in my room. don't know why. i can't sleep in my room in the afternoon without waking up having a bad headache. or perhaps it's due to the fact that i've slept too much recently.

i woke up at 12pm today by the way.

*ops* anyway, back to the topic. the trip. yes, the trip. my mother conveniently asked me to get breakfast and some drinks back home. haha~ no la, i'm not complaining abt her. it's perfectly alright for me to run some errands for my parents since i'm such a filial son. *ops* did that sound very fake? haha~

some drinks, she did tell me initially, but she did specify "orange juice will be nice." mm~ okiez. need to go NTUC after. heck. shall do that after i shopped all the way from the highest level to the basement. saw that there's actually a new instalment to the Doraemon series. no no, it's not the Doraemon-Z series, it's the original Doraemon series, but the short stories in this new Doraemon-Plus series are stories yet to be released in the original 45 books (which i collected). Damn, i had to get them. and yup, that's what i did.



ate KFC. the $2.95 label was screaming out at me to eat it. and i had to. i'm a slut for cheap stuff, even tho it still costs me money.

went to NTUC for the drinks and hopefully to get my copy of FIRST for this month there. saw that there were actually FOUR collector's STAR WARS covers. so people, if u decide to buy the magazine and decide to give it away after u're done wif it, SELL THEM TO ME, i'll gladly buy them for $3 each. price negotiable. by the way, don't get the yoda cover. :)




well, after i got my orange juice, i proceeded to queue up to pay for my stuff. that's when the drama began...

I'M INVISIBLE

just when i started daydreaming while waiting for my turn (who doesn't?), a 20-something knocked me out of it. and before i managed to react to the situation, a 5-year-old proceeded to step on my already-wounded ankle! i didn't know how he did it, i just knew at that moment a boy was screaming and running from behind me on the left to behind me on the right (imagine those theatrical DOLBY videos demonstrating the wonders of stereo effects), immediately after that, a stabbing pain was in the meat of my left ankle! OUCH! i could nothin else except stare at the boy as he disappeared into the aisle, still screaming.

PRETENDING TO BE A FATHER

THEN, (yesh the drama continued) i placed my stuff (a pack of orange juice and a FIRST magazine, if u can't recall) on the movable travellor. suddenly the uncle who queued up behind me threw his own stuff onto the travellor too, and his bunch of bananas fell onto my magazine. i looked at the bananas and wanted to shift them away, but felt it was a bit rude, and i tot he wud automatically shift them away when i was about to pay for my stuff. so i waited. waited. no response. continued waiting until it was really my turn to pay, and the cashier lady asked me as she pointed to the bananas and the uncle's stuff, "together?" at that moment of time, the uncle was happily standing very closely behind me, pretending to be my father and not said a single word. apparently he was looking away at that moment, pretending not to hear a word from the cashier. i was so shocked and angry that i blared out "no, the bananas are his, and he is not related to me!" he still did not give any response. the cashier lady looked at me, and then at him. a moment of silence. then she proceeded to scan only my stuff, wif a shocked face may i add. after my payment, i overheard him trying to get the cashier lady to explain to him how come his things were so expensive. i snorted loudly before i walked away, piting the lady at the same time.

MEGA-WATT SMILES

my dad got me to help him buy his apple pie from my macdonalds, so i trotted my way there. as i opened the glass door to macdonald's, ten over staff members (including the manager and the cleaners) turned around and exclaimed out in joy "HI! WELCOME TO MACDONALDS!" all of them wearing megawatt smiles. wow, i was amazed. it was pretty wonderful to have such service. after i proceeded to make my order, the girl at the cashier was still wearing a very beautiful smile, handing me the plastic bag wif the apple pie WITH TWO HANDS! wow~ i was delighted and amazed.

THE DOOR DRAMA

as i turned around, a guy was struggling to get into macdonalds with two large plastic bags full of stuff in his hands. i ran up and helped him with the doors (i'm just such a kind soul). in return, he gave a mega-watt smile too and kept saying "thank you" all the way. it felt very good. and just about at that moment, an uncle tried to rush into macdonalds with me still holding the door open, and as he entered, he glanced at me sideways and proceeded to roll his eyes. some words seem to appear out from his expression "u loser, do u know u look like a bell boy?". OH MY GAWD! I SO WANT TO SLAP HIS FACE!

~IN CONCLUSION~

in a trip, less than 1 hour, i've seen the best side and the worst side in ppl. *terrible*.

This blog will become stagnant for the next few days until i finish designing the new layout and finally get the mood back to blog again.

YES~! finally i'm designing my own blog.
MUAHAHA~

it will be fresher and easier to navigate. (who wants to come to a blog with random weird posts of different category everytime? so i'm going to do A LOT of organisation.)

be sure to watch out for lots of reviews. CD reviews (i'm practically listen to EVERY chinese album now), movie reviews (something like my "Johnzzon to the Movies"), daily ramblings, pretentiously artistic blog entries and lots more. MUAHAHA~ wut else do u expect of me? haha.

oh wells... not very much actually... but trying to be ambitious ma! Hey, show some support wor! haha~ arigato! *do a japanese thank you bow*

anywayz, for those interested, life has turned to a slightly better side. no, i've yet to forgotten and forgiven those two, and i shall not for the rest of my life, just like wut i did to liao zhenghan. perhaps i'll still try to act friendly towards one of them, cos he's still maintaining the effort of pretending, but ppl, I am NOT a good actor afterall. good luck to you.
