This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamma's, daddy's, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
'Cos we will never say bye
As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up some times
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown full things separation brings
You never let me know it, you never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
Theres so much more left so say
If you were with me today face to face
Chorus
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile”
“Miss you but I try not to cry”
As time goes by
And as soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
And we were here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye
(Bye bye bye bye bye bye) x3
Bye bye
And you never got a chance to see how good I’ve done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It’s so hard to accept the fact you’re gone forever
Chorus
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile”
“Miss you but I try not to cry”
As time goes by
And as soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
Am standing right here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye
(Bye bye bye bye bye bye) x3
This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamma's, daddy's, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
'Cos we will never say bye, bye
Chorus
I never knew I could hurt like this (I never knew it)
And everyday life goes on like (everyday of my life I wish)
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile” (I wish)
“Miss you but I try not to cry”
As time goes by (I wish, I wish, I wish as time goes by)
And as soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
And we were here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye
(Its hard to say bye bye bye bye bye bye
So come on somebody sing it with me
Wave your hands up high
Hey hey, this if for my peoples who just lost somebody
So this is for everybody
You put your hand to the sky
'Cos we will never say bye bye)

Went out today with my usual friends! Definitely a great oppurtunity to get my mind off things. Was supposed to meet them at City Hall MRT station at 2pm but was so tired that I only woke up at 1pm and set off to meet a friend, Yew Mun, another late guy whom I had to wait til 4.15pm to meet him and finally arrived and met up with the rest at Marina Square at 5pm... Went to play pool for a little while, didn't play long. I won my match of course!! Went bowling soon after that, played 2 games each, Me, Melvin, Leon, Aloius, Nicholas and Jeff. Melvin was the top leader for both games while i too maintained second place for both games. What can I say, I haven't lost touch! Anyways, as usual when playing games with me and my friends, we always have a twist to every game. In both games, if anyone of us did not manage to get a single strike, they would be "flicked" on their forehead by each and every one of us who did manage to get a strike. Getting a strike was no problem at all for me and I was safe! However, the unlucky ones were Leon, Nicholas and Jeff. At the end, Alouis made a very stupid bet although he was already safe, if he couldn't strike the last ball, he would let everyone of us "flick" him 7 times each. Unfortunately for his bravery, he had to suffer the consequences. Hahaha!!
Finished the game and went for a toilet break. Again, joker Alouis went off somewhere all alone while we went to the toilet. We waited for him outside the toilet thinking he was still in there when he wasn't. By the time we realized and wanted to contact him, better still, his handphone was in the bag of one of my friends that was with us. So we just tried our luck to walk around and hopefully bump into him and true enough, we did! Went to eat dinner together at the foodcourt. Jie Ying went home first and didn't join us for dinner as she had a curfew. Later, shared a desert with Melissa, Yam Paste With Ice, although I'm not the Yam-liking type, truthfully enough, it was quite nice!! It was half past nine, so after dinner, the rest, Jeff, Leon, Alouis, Nicholas, Yew Mun, Pei Ling, Serene and Melissa, went over to Melvin's house to ton there for the Manchester United Match tonight at 12am and play mahjong. While walking to the MRT station, we stopped by New Urban Male for a while and I saw the brown-base with white straps Braziliano Praia Beatles that I've set my eyes on for quite some time! Maybe gonna finally buy it next week together with Melissa who also wanted to get a pair and since my friend works there, can get staff-discount, woohoo!!! Anyone wants to follow us go shopping next week?? Was thinking of going to Ministry Of Sound (MOS) since it was free-entry for tertiary-students today but decided to head back home instead cause wasn't in the mood for clubbing tonight and I remembered that Yvonne who was working at Takashimaya in town nearby finished work at 10pm today, so decided to pick her up from work and take the train home together since it was along the way.
Had a dream about _ _ _ _ _ _ again last night... Dunno what it was supposed to mean but it was a nice dream... Anyways, dreams are meant to stay in dreams, so I'd rather not get my hopes high for things that are just not meant to be...

A:Jeff B: Melvin C: Haziq (me) D: Alouis E: Leon F: Melissa

Today was the last day of the SLA fiesta! It's time to pack up! Everyone was glad that it was over and I'm sure that many IGs have recruited over a hundred passionate year ones wanting to be actively be involved in whatever IG they've joined but as we all (year-twos) know that by the end of the year, each and every single IG will end up with less than half the number of students they recruited in the beginning. LoL! Anyways, missed my friday prayers today cause needed to do work for my team. Our module today was Web-Multimedia and I had to design and encode 5 web-pages while my team just compile them... Got it done in time and presentation was a drag as it was a boring day... Headed home first together with Leon and Azirah while the rest stayed and slacked in school.

Been going home late ever since the start of school... Been doing/finishing up my work at school almost everyday and slack with my pals til late before going for dinner together and heading back home. Things are always new and fun with them. ^^ I just don't feel like going home early anymore to all the responsibilities that awaits me as soon as I step into the house... You'll understand when you do the most for the house when poeple aren't around and still gets all the blame for even the slightest mistake... Sick and tired of people not being appreciative of what people already did for them and still expect more... And when I say "people", I really mean everyone... Besides, there's nothing to do at home too... Rarely even watch the television these days... Anyways, chilling out at school is nice. If you stare by the school pond in the evening, it really is a good place to do some thinking.
Had no class today so I was able to sleep throughout the morning and wake up late. Woo!! ^^ Had Student Life Activities (SLA) Fiesta today! The SLA Fiesta is when each Interest Group (IG) is given the chance to showcase their talents and achievements so as to recruit the new year one students who have just entered Republic Polytechnic (RP) to join. (in RP we call CCA as IG) SLA Fiesta will be on for another 2 more days. It sure was tiring as I had... Well... Like FOUR IGs to promote and recruit people to join!! Had to shout and scream here and there for a while, haha. Archery IG, Cypher Club, Gaming.RP and my unofficial IG, Anime.RP. After half of the day was over, I was already out cold so ended up playing badminton at the Badminton IG's booth and Floorball at the mini-floorball court set up by the Floorball IG. Had lots of fun today although it sure was tiring. Went for dinner at Banquet at Causeway Point in the evening but didn't eat cause I'm saving up money for... Ermmm... The future??? Haha... That is, if I even have a future... Anyways I already had dinner waiting for me at home so yeah... Melvin was kind enough to treat some of us deserts, so what the heck!? He's treating, so why not order!? Hehehe!! I had Ice Kacang, a traditional malay desert, which I have not eaten in like years ever since the discovery of ice-cream!! Haha!! Wanted to try something new, so bought the Durian Ice Kacang instead and I sincerely apologize to Azirah who doesn't like durians and couldn't stand the smell but was seating closeby... I didn't know... Really am sorry... Didn't play any of our usual forfeit-games today as everyone was already so tired. Thank god! Went to the arcade later to have abit of fun and headed back home soon after that.
Just when I was back to my good old self... Things just have to happen... It was already expected, just didn't think it would hit me this hard... Actions speak louder than words but at the current situation, it cannot be applied... The timing too, isn't right yet... After today, it just became even harder for it to come by... All that is left, is hope...

It was another year of SIT Cypher Camp's retreat at Sentosa!! What can I say, it has become our tradition! Haha! We had lots of great fun today at Siloso beach!! Around 50 of us in total!!! Woo! I have to admit, Singapore's beaches aren't really that clean or nice but well, we don't really have a choice now do we? Haha!! Beach volleyball, basketball at the nearby court, forfeit-games, card games, water-bombs and even throwing eggs was present today! Damn Melvin brought one whole carton of eggs!! He is so dead! Got thrown into the sea later on! Muahahaha!! Actually, each and every one of us got thrown inside later on, hahaha!! One by one got wet! Anybody who seems so dry would definitely get thrown into the sea by me and my friends! Hehehe!! Had tug-of-war matches against other schools which we met at the beach such as Singapore Polytechnic (SP) and Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP). We won of course!! RP Rocks!!! As usual, our forfeit-games involved doing DISGUSTING forfeits! My bad luck today was to lick across from one nipple to another! It's a guy's of course! Man it was GROSS!!
Later on, we headed to Cafe Del Mar for the Foam Party!!! First 100 bikini-babes spotted were given free drinks on the house! Couple of my friends got it and we had a blast enjoying ourselves! Of course, I didn't drink no matter how tempting it was... I'm 18 this year but not 18 yet... They checked my ID! Shit!! I was denied entry, but how I still managed to get in??? Haha, it's a trade-secret! =D
After heading for the showers, I found out something new about a little miss "someone". Nothing big really just that I've never noticed it before. We then went back to Vivo City for dinner, haven't had Long John Silver's since a very long time ago! Gave a treat to dear Azirah and lil Melissa! Chatted abit after that before all of us headed back home as it was already quite late at night and everyone was tired. Wanted to ton over at a friend's place but I'm sure the people at home would have made a real fuss out of it...
I'm speechless nowadays... I dunno why... Am I losing my touch...? Or just a wave of emotions...? Although the time we spent together was like bits and pieces, when pieced together, they become memorable ones to be cherished~

Us on the tram on the way to Siloso Beach!

And the fun begins!

Today, was just another day at school. Met up with my pals for lunch breaks and after school just like any other day. After eating, we played some card-games and games involving forfeits while we await the Touch-Rugby friendly match RP was gonna have later on at around 8pm but started at 8.30-8.45pm as the other schools were late. Wasn't really feeling well today... Unsure of why... At least some people noticed... Watched abit but got bored so we headed to the indoor basketball court for some fun. Played a match or two, i played seriously but my team didn't, if not we could have won but it's okay, just a game. Was really tired after that but we continued playing a forfeit-game. If you know me and my friends well, we always play forfeit-games almost anywhere and everywhere and trust me... You DON'T wanna know how disgusting the forfeits can be! Wanna know one of my disgusting forfeits? I had to lick a guy's chest all the way up to the neck and we were sweating and really sticky at that point of time. Heck, I got it done and over with! Haha, crazy I know... Anyways, we ended up not going for dinner as it was already quite late...
I tried to help, I really did... but to no avail...
I'm sorry... The moment was special while it lasted~

Went out to town today for an exquisite dinner buffet at Holiday Inn Resort's restaurant, Window By The Park. They serve excellent Durian Penyet (Durian Pudding/Custard) for durian enthusiasts as they only use the absolute sweetest durians they can find. I'll list out for you guys what I had for dinner. Bon Apetit! Sushi, fresh Salmon, Bread & Butter and Crackers with freshly sliced cheese for the appetizer, Indian Rojak, Chicken Kebab, Singapore Laksa and Fried Noodles for the main-course with Rendang-Beef, steamed egg and whipped potato salad as the side dishes ended with a mix of different traditional Thailand Kueh (delicacy), mini Fruit Tartlets, Fruit Jelly, Mochi, Chocolate Cake, American Cheesecake, ice-cream, Durian Penyet and Marshmallows dipped into the four-storey Chocolate Fountain as deserts. It was a satisfying meal indeed although I've been to better places but this was alright. 4 out of 5 for me! =)
Later went on to watch the 11.30pm movie of Definitely Maybe at Cathay Cineleisure with my cousin and my bro. Guys out there, trust me, it's one of the best excuse for you to bring your gals out for a movie and/or it's the perfect oppurtunity and movie for those going on dates. I give the movie a 5 out of 5 straight on! What can I say? I'm a sucker for moving romance movies! Romantic is the word for it and it teaches girls... Yes, GIRLS!!! A lesson to be learned, it's not ALWAYS the guy's fault...! But guys, please always remember to give in to girls. Are you a gentleman or what!? And you definitely DON'T wanna mess with them and see their ugly side... Anyways, yeah, it's definitely the ideal movie now to catch with that special someone...
Wished that special "someone" could've watched it with me~

Today was the last day of RP's Freshman Orientation Programme (FOP). It was memorable as I SET A NEW SINGAPORE RECORD! Well, not only me but a total of 1320 RP students altogether as we braced ourselves to set the world record for the most number of people doing the leapfrog consecutively. (A leapfrog is whereby one person squats down allowing another person standing behind him/her to put their hands on the shoulders of the one squating down and leap/jump over him from behind.)
We've beaten the previous record of 1,197 participants which was set at the Unesco World Youth Festival in Germany in 2007. Officials from the Guinness Book of Records and the Singapore Book of Records were present at the event. It proved to be a challenge in more ways than one. The students began at 5.40pm but were disqualified for touching the ground with their hands and knees. So they were given a second chance and completed it successfully at 6.30pm. In the traditional game of leapfrog, participants need to rest their hands on their knees without touching the ground. And they must do this before bending, so that the other party gets to leap over. The leapfrog record attempt was organised as part of the polytechnic's orientation programme for its freshmen and it was a success! Our record is confirmed in the Singapore Book of Records and we are now awaiting the confirmation verdict from the Guinness Book of World Records.
Later on we had the after party and the inter-school cheer competition, School of Infocommunication & Technology (SIT), which I was in won third place in this year's competition. Congratz to us! It was soon time for performances and later on came the clubbing session! It was great fun and I finally threw in the towel as it was my last day as a Student Leader. Had so much fun and many great new friends which I won't forget! Especially my camp mates who stayed with me throughout these entire 2 weeks together. Love you guys! =)
Headed for some supper later on at McDonalds before all of us caught the last train home. School's starting in 3 days time! Time flies by so fast when you're having fun...

Went bowling - My score!! ^^

Cypher Camp '08 was a blast!!! It was really fun while it lasted! My role in the camp? I was one of the Student Leaders to lead a team of enthusiastic year-one freshman campers. First up was bonding! Yes, we definitely have to get well acquainted with one another or we will never come out of our little shells and will be stuck in our own little worlds. Dead or alive, you're gonna be stuck with each other for 3 days, live peacefully with each other or withstand agony and dislike for each other for 3 days before you can go home and cry to your mummy. A camp's supposed to be fun and making lots of new friends and that's what me and my team did. Fun was plentiful to go around and new friends were all around the corner. First day, was knowing one another. My team had a really slow start but picked up the pace quite fast in just a few hours and was very close with one another. The treasure hunt (more like an amazing race actually) around RP (Republic Polytechnic) was extremely fun and was what pulled my team together. At night after dinner, it was Horror Night!! "The Dorm" was screened in the dark Lecture Theatre and one team after another was kidnapped while watching the movie to embark on a ghost trail at the school's sports complex. It sure was scary!! After a final debrief it was soon time for bed.
Day 2 proved to be a little more exciting as the teams embarked on an Amazing Race at SENTOSA!!! My team had loads of fun on the way there in a bus as we joked, chat, crapped the hell out of one another although we did encounter a 1 hour delay in traffic jam but all the more time to have even more fun! Sure enough at the end of the Race, we were very tired but explored Sentosa and got to know how beautiful it is as it's been a long time since we've been there. The most fun part was taking the Luge, a downhill go-kart which could go as fast as the wind for those with an adrenaline rush! We also took the skyline where you can see the breathtaking view of Sentosa as high as the sky can possibly take you. Truly magnificent. As we went back, it was the last night the campers are gonna stay in RP and so we decided to make it a memorable one. After their showers were over, we catered food and set up a buffet dinner for the ever so tired campers who were clad in their secondary school uniforms for the next main event. It was finally CLUBBING time!! The lights were out!! People gathered at the center of the stage from all over and started to show off their moves. We grooved and danced to the funks of the EMP crew and the house DJ. Popular hits and songs were popped in and people were just party animals and danced the night away. When the night is over and the lights were hit back on, all had a satisfying time together and it was time to change and hit the bed... NOT!! Most were still in their partying mood and so we stayed through the night playing games with each other til 3.30am when they finally have to hit the beds as they have a long day tomorrow.
The final day finally arrived and all awoke for breakfast and what lies in store for them next was... well... WET, WET, WET!! Water bombs were thrown all over and we had a Tug-Of-War... IN the swimming pool!! It was great fun and guess what? The finals was between one of the teams and MY team!! Since it was the finals, we were allowed to recruit as many people as we want and what the hell!? I recruited my whole alliance with another 6 teams who were full of muscular hunks!! The result? Of course we won!! Woohoo!! Soon, it was time to wash up and lunch was served. Later on, we had our final cheer competition. Creative cheers were heard from all the teams and we had a great laugh together. The verdict? All teams were great and were rewarded with Ice-Cream as their prize. It was a final farewell and all were released back to their very own lives.
I certainly had a great time both as a Student Leader motivating and bringing my team together as well as a camper doing the same things they did. I too once was a freshman camper and had great fun and am glad that now when it's my turn to lead, i delivered the same results. The camp was fun and I achieved many goals and objectives. ^^
Who knows, I may even have gotten more than expected~

Merry Christmas to all alike!! It's a joyful occasion that is celebrated by the whole world and not only by Christians. The spirit of christmas has been a widespread and I'm sure that everyone's having a great time!!
Went to town with my freinds to celebrate Christmas together today, yeah!! Met up with Ronnie, Kai Wei, Ahmad and Xiao Jing. Went to grab a quick bite first before heading to Cuppage for a game of pool. Went shopping later and had snacks and tid-bits and dinner from Takashimaya's basement foodcourt area, bought some japanese noodles for myself, muahaha!! Had a little desert too, bought a White Chocolate Rocky Fudge Brownie and a Chewy Fudgy Ooey Gooey Brownie for myself from the Brownie Factory there too!! My most favourite and reccomended Brownie store in Singapore!!! Also had some sushi later on!! Gosh, I think I spend 20 bucks alone on food today!! The price of living, huh... Picke Kai Wei's girlfriend up at 10pm who was working at Topman Wisma Atriaand we headed to Esplanade for some drinks... No, I don't drink but they do, haha. Don't get the wrong idea now. Anyways, since we were in a rush to catch the last train home, they cancelled on drinking and just went to the Makansutra food centre there to grab supper and we headed back home. Reached home at 2am.. I think I overspent this year... Hmm... Merry Christmas to all and a very happy new year!! ^^

WOOHOO!!! Today was my ex-primary school, class 6F class gathering at Seoul Gardens, Causeway Point!!! The turn-out??? 13 classmates and 1 teacher and of course I remember each and every one of them!! ^^ Although some can't make it, my very great teacher Ms Pang did!!! Wootz!!! Great to see her again and thanks for the A for my English, B for my Math and B for Science in PSLE!!! (got a B for Mother Tongue too) Remember once in primary 6 when i smsed to kidscentral a teacher's day wish for you and it got selected as one of the best few and got posted on television and I won myself a prize??? LoL! It was uber-awesome meeting up again with my fellow peeps whom we always meet up on teacher's day without fail each year just to visit Ms Pang and each other!! ^^ The buffet was awesome, the chitter-chatter was great, lots to talk about and catching up on old times was splendid!!
After the buffet, Ms Pang had to leave as she had a 10pm movie, The Last Caution, to attend at Cathay Cineleisure, me and my friends went to the arcade, played a few games and... Well... Yeah... Took Neoprints, hahaha!!! Headed down to CCK MRT station and our neighbourhood since young haha, met up with Xue Qi there who couldn't make it for the dinner as she ended class late, everyone's grown much more prettier, handsome and matured but are still civilised as ever, that's the best part. One of the most caring and kind bunch of friends I know. =) Walked arounf the neighbourhood to chit-chat for a while, wanted to buy some drinks but god bless us all that we're still under-age at 17, one more year to go and NO I don't drink, hahaha!!

Today was WICKED!!! Went to 2 hip-hop dance competitions in one day!!! yes, TWO!!! Firstly in the morning between 2.00pm-4.30pm, met and my friends attended the RPresenting to DA Fullest hip-hop Dance Competition held at Republic Poly's Dance Studio. This competition was open to all to join so there's no age limitations whatsoever. The cost of the ticket was $6, asked one of my friends, Edith, to get one for me. It was free seating anyways so me and 3 of my friends, Edith, Emily & Faiz went to seat at the third row from the front in the middle and we got a pretty good view of the whole thing. Tearing up the floor were 10 groups of competitors and there was a guest performance by a beepboxer, some rappers and RP's very own veteran crew of year one dancers, one of them is my friend Ahmad who is one of the best b-boyer in the whole campus! Back to the competitors, a familiar face in one of the participating groups was sighted. Kimberly, the girl who won Kids Central's One Minute of Fame 2006 took part with her own crew of young dancers of her age, calling themselves the Little Freakyz (Freakies). Believe or not, her group was crowned the champion of the competition!!! Beating competitors who were older and much more experienced than them from secondary schools polytechnics and Junior Colleges!!! I tell you this, they deserved the win as they put up a spectacular performance, footwork, steps, choreography, you name it!!! The audience was at their loudest when these guys came out to flaunt their moves and bringing down the house!!!
Here's the results of the crews that won:
1st: Little Freakyz (Freakies)
2nd: Freaky Nutz
3rd: UTG

Right when the show ended at 4.30pm, me, my friends, the competitors and so did 90% of the people present there, rushed off to another Hip-Hop Dance Competition being held at Far East Plaza starting at 6.00pm, the Hip-Hop Weekend Butts Off Competition!!! Parted with Edith and Emily but met and joined a new group of friends who were Faiz's friends. We were there to support one of RP's best crew, Style Groovas, who were participating as they qualified from the preliminaries last week. One of its member, Dinie, is a buddy of mine too! Reached there just on time and boy was the place packed to the fullest!! Other participating crews included National Junior College (NJC) and National University of Singapore (NUS). Style Groovas turn up the heat and mesmerized the audience and judges with their slick and cool moves in sync with the blasting music!! Right before the results show,there were dance-offs between a representative of each crew to see who was the best dancer, going one after the other, showing off their freestyle moves and grooving to the rhythm! Well, RP's Style Groovas didn't managed to win that section of the competition but put up a strong fight. Yeah! There was also a spot the best dancer in the crowd section and this guy and this small little girl were asked to battle it off on stage as they stood out the best. However, soon while battling, a few entries from out of nowhere jumped on stage and joined the battle, provoking them at the same time!!! I tell ya, it was DOPE!!! The challengers who suddenly dared to go against them on stage in front of a HUGE audience included one of Style Groovas' dancers, my friend Ahmad and Kimberly the One Minute Of Fame winner. I tell ya this wasn't rehearsed and boy was it a royal rumble on stage of around 6 people battling it out, all for a goodie bag! Hahaha!! Nah, just bet they wanted to show their moves and not care about the prizes, that's all! Soon, it was the results show and we were praying hard as the results were announced but to no avail, RP's Style Groovas won the consolation prize, what a shame as they were definitely better than the winners who comprised of some secondary school, NUS and the first place winner, the crew which call themselves 5,6,7,8. Met the crew and my pal backstage after the competition and gave my well wishes to Dinie. It's alright!!! Keep it up Style Groovas!!! The win for the next competition is ours for the taking!!! Definitely!!!
~The competition ended at 8.00pm. Met a couple of great new friends today and we had lots of fun and enjoyed ourselves very much! Ate dinner, chatted a bit and did a little shopping after that and went home. Damn, it was a hell of a day!!! In a good way I mean, haha. Been a long time since I enjoyed myself this much, being busy with events and all. Damn shag and now, I feel like dancing!!! Yeah!!! See ya!!

Well as many of you might have remembered or don't remember that today is my birthday, I'm sure you're wondering how it went right... Well, it was alright. Got only 2 presents though... Today was my house's sort of openhouse for some guests to come and pay a visit as part of Hari Raya Celebrations. Firstly in the morning, had badminton training with my uncle and his hotel staffs at Tanjong Pagar CC. I was coaching him for his upcoming inter-hotel tournament this coming Tuesday, 30 October 2007 where a handful of hotels will pit their best badminton players up for a challenge. My uncle works in M Hotel Singapore by the ways... The prize? Hell would I know. Bring glory in the name of their hotel I guess... Haha. Anyways, thought him a few stuff and soon saw him beating the crap out of his other colleagues. Most of them had to take a breather frequently as you know these old-timers don't work out that often. As for me? Was quite bored cause there wasn't much of a challenge... Beaten all of his colleagues and him flat... Even went and thrashed without mercy his boss 15-6... Okay, his second-boss in-charge cause his first big boss whom he says is a better player, couldn't make it for the training... Anyways, it's been a long time since I enjoyed sweat this much and boy do I miss competitive vigorous sports...

Went home, showered and took a short nap cause was damn shag. Today was quite an 'international' visit in my house as my bro's friend from Japan visited, my dad brought home working partners from Indonesia, Java and Burma while I called over my 2 ex-secondary school Indonesian friends who were studying here in Singapore for a visit. Not to mention some cousins of mine dropping by too that day. There's the picture of me and my 2 ex-secondary school Indonesian friends on that day. My mum's in the background... The left one is studying in St. Andrew's Junior College (SAJC), the middle one is studying in Innova Junior College (IJC) and the right one is... well... me proudly studying in Republic Polytechnic (RP). Had cake brought by I'm not sure whom later on for dessert. It was an ice-cream cake from Swensens, the same old cake I have for my Birthday almost every year nowadays... Wonder why... Anyways, my birthday will come to an end when the clock strike midnight and I'm still up now blogging. Haha.. Must have nothing better to do I guess. Good nytex to all. =)

For those of you who have purchased any Acer 5580 Series laptops, (like my model is the Acer Aspire 5584WXMi(D)) have you ever wondered what the inside of your Acer laptop ever looked like? What it consist? What are the components that keep your laptop running and what are the parts that can be found in your laptop? How do each individual part look like?

This is it! Today was the day! No backing out now! Not that I will anyways! It thrills me just thinking of beating the crap out of players. I took part in an 8 Ball Pool Competition individual category held today. It was held at a rather hard to access area, at Tanjong Pagar Road, just beside Fairfield Methodist Church, Cushion & Cue Pool Bar which is on the second floor, right above Ya Kun Kaya Toast Coffee House. The cues and balls there were of great quality and condition. The hardest first-turn breaking up of the balls and be sure that the white ball will fly out of the table. I didn't check the pricing for normal days though. There were 32 competitors, so it was a knock-out session. By the way, for those who do not know, competition tables are 9-feet tables. It was a race to 3 games, meaning the first player to win 3 games over the opponent wins and qualifies to move on in the competition. The competition was supposed to start at 10am but started at 10.30am instead cause the owner came in to open up the pool bar at that time. (Psst, she's hot too. =X) Anyways, we held warm-up sessions and I played with this malay guy. It was an easy-win although he was not bad himself though.

Soon the games commenced and my first opponent was this year 3 guy, Matthew Quek and we tossed a coin to see who breaks the balls first, guess what? It was me. Just as I was about to break the balls up, I glanced at him and he was putting the final touches in fixing his personal cue stick... Yes... A personal cue!!! Damn, I wanna own one for a long time but knows that my parents won't approve of it. Anyways, it was a nice cue, anyways, that also give me a hint of his skills and what he was capable of, so I got serious right from the beginning pocketting a ball from my break and 3 more balls before I ended up in a corner and didn't get a good angle and a clear shot, so it was his turn... One by one... the balls went in... You probably know how good he is by now. It was irritating however, I got more happier, awake and psyched up!!! It wouldn't be interesting if he wasn't good!! Soon, he too was driven into a corner and it became my turn, the only balls left other than the black eight ball were my solid orange and his striped red which were at the corner, nearly touching the side of the table and clumped together touching each other just right, now i'm in a fix... However, after thinking long and hard, I calculated the angle... Aim... And... It went in!! Even better, I positioned my ball just right, ending it's roll in a straight position with the black eight-ball and a hole just straight ahead!!

Think I've won??? No... Much to my dismay, I committed a foul and the turn was given to him... I asked why and he said I didn't announce, I thought he knew that that was the only ball left on the table for me to hit and so I didn't have to tell him that I was gonna hit that ball. That he knows however, my mistake was... I didn't announce which hole I was gonna pocket it in as the shot I made was a very difficult shot and it could have ended up in any hole however, I swear I already calculated and aimed for that hole and I was successful, but I knew he wouldn't believe me if I said that was the hole I aimed for so I just accepted it as my fault and didn't announce the hole I wanted it to end up in. So he got in the remaining balls that turn and I lost the first game.
We played another 2 games and it was exactly the same as the first game whereby it was a very close game with both players always clearing the table of their balls (I usually clear mine first and he'll catch up later on) and leaving only the black eight ball ending up in a duel for both players of who will pocket it first. He got them in before I could... So the final score was 3 games to 0. (3-0) He won 3 games first and went on in the competition. He better not lose to anyone else after beating me and true enough, he won the competition's Bronze. Congratz to him, I mean I'm good, but he's better. Later on after matches as there were free tables, so we could use them and play as much as we want to as RP booked the entire place from 10am-5pm. Hence, I played friendly matches with several other competitors and beat them flat-down. The rest of the competitors except for 2 or 3 (who also had sweet personal cues!) were not much of a challenge... If only Matthew wasn't my first opponent, I could have met him in the finals... Nah!!! Who am I kidding!! I'd rather lose to him than any other player... Especially those who won by luck although they're lousy! Trust me, there were a handful in the competition. Anyways, to all of you, invite me for a game of pool anytime!!! I'll definitely not back down from a challenge!! Meet ya all at the tables!!!

Roarrr!!! It was the J.U.M.P. (Jammin' @ United Music Party) today!!! Gaaaaahhh!!! Damn it was fun, not the early stages but as the night arrives, the music gets hotter!!! Too bad to those who went home early and didn't join the party!!! Haha!! (Psst!! I went down with a few female classmates, met this girl who liked me whom I didn't like at all, she got soo jealous that she went home!!! Wakakaka!! What the hell!! We're just classmates!! Girls these days... Hahaha!!) Anyways, there were a couple of live band performances from the afternoon til night, later at 9pm, there was even a J-Rock (Japanese-Rock) performance by a female lead singer of the band. People started walking away from the stage, it was hilarious!! But the crowd came back, more than ever later on when rock bands, rappers, freestylers (mainly RP's leading champion hip-hop crew, Style-Methodz) and beat-boxers conquered the stage which was booming with huge amplifiers and speakers left and right. Previuosly, Prime miniter Lee Tsien Loong came and gave one of those parliamentary speeches as well as crediting RP and initiating the switch which triggered the official opening of RP's new campus cause we haven't held an official opening ceremony for the new campus yet and today was the day.

Aside from te political stuff, the party's what I'm talking about! Danced and clubbed all night!! Me and my friends gathered, danced away and soon without noticing, formed a circle with space in the middle for dancers to go in and show their moves one by one, challenging each other as if to see who can better one another. It was mad-happening!!! We even caught the attention of the DJ who announced to all the clubbers that "The free-stlye session will be carried out over there!" so get overhee and show your stuff, that's what I'd say! Damn security was lack!!! Only peple who had tickets should be able to enter but soon, almost anyone could enter through all the diffeent entrances from RP, even residents of Woodlands came with their children to check it out and gobble down the free buffet. That aside, jumping, dancing, clubbing, grinding, moshing... Throughout the whole night as the live-bands ended and the DJ took control!!! Damn the party ended at 11pm when we wanted it to last longer... Oh well, it's a well-worth party, hope it'll be held again next year!! Phew... I'm beat blogging just after the party... Too shag so see you all in the future!! (Psst, if they do hold it again next year or if there is any future parties, you can approach me if you have difficulty attaining tickets for them, I'll try my best to see what I can do for you with my connections! Just like J.U.M.P. tix you see I have below!)

Ohayo gozaimasu!!! ^_^ These here will be a few of the cosplay pictures taken during the annual cosfest which took place today at Downtown East. It was great such a thrill seeing all the different people dressed up as their favourite characters from their favourite games and animes, wow-ing us with their creativity and huge amount of effort and hard work to pull it off. The costumes were brilliantly made to the last detail. My personal pick would be the Rozen Maiden and especially Kingdom Hearts 2 costumes and props that were imaginatively brought to reality, convincingly from every angle in sight. There were 2 categories, individual and the group category. In the group category, Kingdom Hearts 2 group wowed the audience with their costumes and props while the Haruhi Suzumiya group impressed both the audience and judges with their magnificent performance, mimicking the opening of the actual anime itself. Without further adue, here are the photos. >.<

At Republic Polytecnic (my poly) today took place the Round De Campus Relay. I formed a team consistig of my classmates. A team of 2 guys, 2 gals. We took part in the inter-class category. It was a tough one. A run of 1.5km each and passing on the baton, I'm not sure bout the timing of the rest but mine was 5 minutes 3 seconds and I overtook 4 facilitators and 3 students who were way ahead of me and maintained all the way with a final sprint to pass on the baton.
Been a long time since i runned long distances, enjoying the competition of endurance between the fittest and only the best. The last time I ran was like a year ago while in secondary school taking my NAPFA. 2.4km around Bukit Timah Hill which includes uphills and downhills with a best timing of 9 minutes. Miss those good old days of glory of always being second fastest in the class with my best friend in the top spot with a timing of half-a-minute faster than me always and how we'd always end up in the top 10 out of the whole school in the school's annual cross-country meet. Love long distance running, what can I say.
Back to the event, there was a free flow of canned drinks and a buffet-spread of fruits and only fruits! LoL??? Haha. Think we ended up in 6th or 7th place as we overtook more than half of those competing but there were only trophies and prizes for the top 5 teams, too bad. As for the open category whereby all Polytechnics and ITEs were invited to join, an ITE team were the champions. Need to rest now. Super-shag!!! Looking forward to the next run... ^_^

2 hrs 10 mins
Action/Adventure
In a movie season filled with CGI fantasy, Die Hard 4.0 gets real – with real action, real humor, and the reprise of a beloved and iconic character: John McClane (Bruce Willis). On the Fourth of July weekend, an attack on the vulnerable United States infrastructure begins to shut down the entire nation. The mysterious figure behind the scheme has figured out every modern angle…but he never figured on McClane.
Watched this today!!! It's a great movie!!! I seriously reccomend those who love action-packed movies to watch this one. It's a movie that is not to be missed!!! I'm sure the budget to produce this film is outrageously high! I give it a full 5 out of 5 rating for the first time in a long time.

Just got back from Archer Camp... Super shag... Gonna crash on y bed anytime soon. Anyways, how was my camp you ask? It was great! Had lots of fun in a very long time.

Day 1
It started out with the usual ice-breaking sesion on Day 1, we splitted into 2 teams of 11 each. My team interacted with each othr quite fast and we soon knew each other pretty well. Played the usual interactive games to improve our bonds with each other. It was fun.


Later we had a briefing at the lecture theatre, there's 10 basic steps to follow in Archery. Know this well and you're well on the way to becoming a top-notch archer. We got to know of the different bows used, the designs and unique features of each bow and different arrows that are available. Some were gonna fall asleep in the middle of the presentation, haha but luckily it was a short one. Later watched a movie, Jackass 1, but left halfway as it was time to shoot. Headed to the shooting range to shoot a couple of arrows. A lot of mistakes were made by everyone and there were lots of room for improvement.
Had dinner later at 6pm and were given our own time til the end of the day to do watever we wanted. Me and the guys decided to take a shower first after dinner. Later laid out our sleeping bags and marked our territory. We played lots of card games and performed lots of magic tricks for the enjoyment of the rest. It's fun to fool others once in a while, haha. The seniors dOtA til 4am and then slept. Some were very skilled. Me slept at 5am...

Gwen Stefani - 4 In The Morning
Wakin up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had it’s say
I guess I feel alright
But it hurts when I think,
When I let it sink in
It’s all over me
I know you’re here, in the dark
I’m watching you sleep, it hurts a lot
[Bridge]
And all I know is you’ve got to give me everything
Nothing less cause,
You know I’d give you all of me
[Chorus]
I’d give you everything that I am
I’m handin over everything that I’ve got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don’t ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up till four in the morning
And the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time
Baby if we’re gonna do it come and do it right
All I wanted was to know and say
Don’t wanna lose the love I found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don’t let me down
It’s not fair, how you are
I can’t be complete, can you give me more
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Oh please, you know what I need
Save all your loving for me
We can’t escape the love
With everything that you have

Being king isn't for everyone--especially if you're a prickly ogre who smells like the shallow end of a swamp. When Shrek married Fiona, the last thing he wanted was to rule Far Far Away, but when his frogger-in-law, King Harold, suddenly croaks, Shrek is quickly fitted for the crown. Now, unless the reluctant would-be king can find a suitable replacement, he'll be royally screwed for the rest of his days. As if Shrek didn't have enough on his plate, Princess Fiona has another little surprise on the way. With his head spinning and his belly in knots, Shrek sets off on a quest to find the only other possible heir to the throne, Fiona's long-lost cousin Artie, an underachieving medieval high schooler. While the ogre is away, his old nemesis Prince Charming rears his handsome head and returns to the kingdom of Far Far Away with redemption on his shallow little mind. Even with Donkey and the ever-so-suave Puss in Boots by their side, it's going to take an ogre-sized effort--and a whole lot of help from Fiona and her band of princesses--for Shrek and Artie to save the day and find their own "Happily Ever After."
Went to the hair salon at town today, Jiwon Hair Stylist, a Korean salon at Wheelock's Place. Usually, a cut, wash & styling would cost $28 but since for students, they have student's cut which is only $20. Not only that, if you wanna get your hair done there, you gotta have to ring them for an appointment first, please take note. I got the director of the salon, Julie, a Korean to cut for me. She's great although her English's not that good. I always get her to cut & style my hair. Later, met my family and while my mum and dad went shopping, I accompanied my lil sis to watch Shrek 3. It was fun and I give it a 3 out of 5. Met up again and went window shopping later. Returned home in the evening.

Class was rocky today as there were lots of problems going on. Met up and chat with an old friend during the second break-out of class. Been a long time since I met her. Chat for like an hour with each other before heading back to class and she heading back to her rehearsals. Kranji Secondary School was having an SYF (Singapore Youth Festival) Showcase at RP's (Republic Polytechnic) auditorium. I decided to go as I had nothing on after school as well as to support my friend. The ticket was 8 bucks. I don't mind. Haha. It started at 7.30pm and ended at 9.30pm. It was mostly a demonstration of their school's Performing Arts Groups' talents. Their choir, band, drama and dance pieces were splendid. There were also 2 piano solos later on. I forgot to return the Feedback Form and just threw it away. Haha. Kranji put up a magnificent show that night, what they lacked was a grand finale. Haha. Nevertheless, it was fabulous. A spectacular performance indeed.
You did great out there, i'm sure you'll get even better than you are right now but it was your last and final performance. Now concentrate on your coming "O"s alright and strive for the 10 points that you always wanted and thanks for making my day. =)

Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) are allied with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones' locker, while the terrifying ghost ship, The Flying Dutchman and Davy Jones, under the control of the East India Trading Company, wreaks havoc across the Seven Seas. Navigating through treachery, betrayal and wild waters, they must forge their way to exotic Singapore and confront the cunning Chinese Pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat). Now headed beyond the very ends of the earth, each must ultimately choose a side in a final, titanic battle, as not only their lives and fortunes, but the entire future of the freedom-loving Pirate way, hangs in the balance.
Watched the final installment of Pirates of the Caribbean today and it was great!!! A few lame parts but it was still great!!! Went for the 11.30pm show and it ended at around 2 plus! For those who hadn't follow the storyline and are planning to watch this movie, please watch the second movie, Dead Man's Chest, first before attempting to watch this movie to better understand what's going on. The first movie isn't as important, so it's okay if you didn't watch it. For some, the storyline may be a little too complex to follow, including the unfamiliar names and all but as for me, I don't think it was a problem at all. Watch it, it's fabulous, not forgetting the well-composed background music and orchestra. I'm giving it a 4.7 out of 5 thumbs up. And please do stay til after the credits. =)

Today had lots of great fun!!! Class went well and played Basketball later as planned at RP’s basketball court. A pity some couldn’t come as they had something on but it was still fun. As usual, China students are outstanding when playing basketball, luckily they were in my team, but we still lost when we played with another class’ team. It’s okay because it’s been a long time since we played Basketball anyways. However, when we played against each other, as an internal class match, my team dominated the opposing team 3 straight matches of 11 points. Haha. Guess I still got it in me. Played til 7.45pm and we took off. First was street-soccer, now it’s basketball. What am I gonna think of next? Haha. Any feedbacks or suggestions, please send them in. Gonna organize more of these sports outings soon. Watch out for them! =)

SIT (School of Infocommunications Technology) Gathering today at Siloso Beach Sentosa was fun!!! Exactly what I needed. A break from my problems and responsibilities and just have lots and lots of fun forgetting anything I need to remember. It's great doing stuff not as the organizer for once. The second-year seniors really do know how to have a blast.
Met at Harbour Front MRT station in the morning at 8.30am. A lot of people were late, even the second-years and we set off at 11am later on after having breakfast at McDonalds. Around 30 of us first and second years. Went there by the new monorail. First thing we did when we arrived was to choose the first blood. We did and tossed him into the sea. What a splash! The rest were given a choice of either doing it the easy way or the hard way. It was definitely fun because a number of them wanted to do it the hard way and soon enough, we saw a couple of bodies flying into the sea. Haha. Played beach soccer, basketball at a court near there, dodgeball, swam, frisbee, beach volleyball and card games involving dares & forfeits.
Got sunburnt at the end of the day, I'll recover soon. Left for dinner at 7.00pm. Went for steamboat. Delicious and full, we went home. Got home at 11.15pm. Tired...

Went to register for my Archery IG* (Interest Group) today after class. In RP, CCAs are called IGs. They taught us how to string* a bow. (term used in archery to put together a bow) Quite interesting actually, didn't know a bow would have so many parts and steps for assembly. Looking forward to training next week.
Later, met my class pals at the cafe and went to the fun fair beside Causeway Point. It's been a long time since i went to one or even took the rides. After walking around, we decided to take a ride, 5 of us in total. (Zai Qiang, Xue Fang, Shue Wei, Zeyda and me!) We took the ride that spins round and round. Damn it was long, minimum 10 minutes or more! I was soo dizzy after it ended that i felt like puking but heck, it was fun! Been a long time since i felt adrenaline rushing through my veins!! We went off after that as one ride was more than enough for us to handle. Haha!!

Peter Parker has finally found the balance he's longed for between his love for Mary Jane Watson and his responsibilities as Spider-Man. The city of New York and it's citizens are at last coming around and appreciating everything he has done as his crime-fighting alter ego, and Peter is in the running for a staff job at the Daily Bugle. However, everything Peter has worked for is about to unravel. Flint Marko, while fleeing prison, is caught in an accident that displaces molecules and is transformed into the Sandman, a new super villain who is able to change his body into any shape of sand he sees fit. When Peter learns of a connection between The Sandman and the murder of his Uncle Ben, he will stop at nothing as Spider-Man to capture him. But before Peter can do so he discovers a mysterious black substance has turned his suit black, and has brought forth a darker side of Parker and Spidey nobody has seen before. Peter begins to give into this new dark personality, starts to abandon the ones he loves the most and in turn his best friend Harry Osborn takes up his late father's mantle as The New Goblin. Quickly Parker begins a new romance with his lab partner, the beautiful Gwen Stacy but in doing so Peter sets off a rival Bugle photographer, a troubled young man by the name of Eddie Brock who is obsessed with Stacy. Little does Peter know the black substance has its sights set on Eddie else as well. Brock is turned into Venom, an arch-foe that mirrors everything Spider-Man can do. Peter is forced to become the strong-willed hero he has forgotten about if he hopes to defeat his greatest threat yet.
Met my family later that day at 8.30pm to watch Spiderman 3. Hmm, I'd prefer more scenes of Venom rather than sandman. However, the storyline was great, quite unexpected things happened actually. Peter Parker's, uncle's history was much more clearer now. It's much more hilarious in this movie than the previous installments. Looking forward to Spiderman 4!!!

Today was any other usual day til after school. Me and my class finally played street-soccer at a nearby street soccer court near campus after days of planning. To my surprise, I saw my cousin Firdaus also playing there at that very instant, and he has his Chemistry mid-year exams the next day! Wonder if he’ll be alright... Anyways, coincidentally, we bumped into each other and I saw his team play and lost and my team played and also lost, haha. W never did play against each other’s team which I was hoping for but, it’s okay. It’s the first time my class and I played soccer together, although my class are not really good at it as we had only a few good players, we enjoyed playing it and just wanted to have fun. Played til 8pm, way over the previous planned timing of 7pm to take off, haha. Guess it’s hard to be aware of the surroundings when you’re having fun! =)

To those today who couldn't get their hands on tickets for the Tanks concert, don't be depressed, k. It's just a concert for goodness sake. LoL! I know 4 girls in my class (Shi Mei, Shue Wei, Xue Fang & Zeyda) who queued up for the tickets but were denied even one due to people cutting the queue. Cheer-up!!
Went to chill out and slack at the cafe in the library with Lin Qing, Shue Wei and Zeyda after class. Played a game of pool with Lin Qing, I won of course. Haha. Watched the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness" on my laptop. Ate quite a bit. A slice of New York Cheesecake ($1.20) as an appetizer, followed by a Beef Burger (with/without cheese $3.00) for the main-course and a Caramel Vanilla Frappe ($1.??) to wash it down. The burgers there comes with 2 patties and served with potato chips. Shue Wei ordered a Cookies and Cream Ice Blended, Lin Qing ordered a slice of Oreo Cheesecake, a Beef Burger and a Chocolate Ice Blended while Zeyda ordered a Caramel Ice Blended and a Brownie topped with Vanilla ice-cream. The cafe is the perfect place to chill out after class, plus the food's great, resonable and affordable prices, pool tables and great atmosphere. My number one reccomended spot in RP to hang out and just chill. Went home togther later at 7pm.

Taking a long dreamed-of breather from their stressful jobs and family responsibilities, four friends can’t wait to feel the freedom of the open road. When this mismatched foursome, who have grown far more used to the couch than the saddle, set out for this once-in-a-lifetime experience - they encounter a world that holds far more than they ever bargained for.
Went out today with my secondary school pals, 7 of us in total. Watched Wild Hogs at Golden Village Plaza Singapura. Man it was hilarious! Hahaha!!! Anyone of you who likes comedies should watch this, if one part doesn't stir you up, the other will. Nevertheless, a fun movie for the family.

Time to slack, enjoy & have fun! After one and a half weeks of knowing one another, me and Alvin thought that it was time for the class to chill out. So, we discussed about ordering Canadian Pizza for second break-out. Instead of just us, how bout the whole class? 20 people? Order 2 and get 2 free. 4 pizzas it was. Other classes envied us as they pass by and peeped into our classrooms. Chatting with pizzas to munch on...

How much better can the day get? Winning Eleven (a soccer video-game) of course!!! My class isn't typical gamers who plays Counter-Strike or dOtA, but a universal sport called soccer. What's better? How bout plugging in two plug-to-play controllers into the laptop and competing against one another!? Filling the room with chatting and screams and shouts and laughter, you can't miss the brilliant fun atmosphere surrounding us. Wanna know how i faired competing against my classmates???

Guess what? By the end of the year, Singaporeans may have the option to make their very own “Customized License Plates”! That’s right! The LTA (Land Transport Authority) is looking into the matter as you read this and is discussing and planning the issue, as well as obtaining the necessary permissions and green light from the government. Rules have to be laid out before anything can proceed. With a maximum of 12 characters, you can make your very own customized license plate on your vehicle, e.g. “mystery inc, ghost rider”.

Today was the third and last day of the Orientation for Republic Polytechnic students. We had a Scavenger hunt event today and the night ended with a bang! Live bands and performances rocked the house! Live bands, rappers, B-Boys!!! Dancing, clubbing, moshing, grinding and headbanging was everywhere!!! It was a really wild and fun night. Gotta turn up for these things in the future again. They're damn fun, especially the parties. The after-parties are even more fun than you can ever imagine!!!

It's the last day, little did we know, time passed by so quickly. As it was the last day, we had the last party. A Wet Party. We played with water hoses, water guns, super-soakers, water bombs and water balloons at the carpark's rooftop which is at level 6. This is the time to let go of your anger on someone you don't like during the camp and none wasted that oppurtunity. Ambushes were assembled and people got as wet as they can be. Later in the afternoon after our showers, there was a cheer competition. My team got second and then it was time for the prize presentation. Most spontaneous team goes to my team! Yeah! Haha! After exchanging e-mails, it was time for farewells and good-byes.

Had an Amazing Race event later on around the whole of Singapore sponsored by Uniquely Singapore Had a few ups and downs in the race but my team was very co-operative and active that we got third for the race. Great work guys! Night came and it was time to dim the lights and blast the music! The lights were off and the hall became a dance floor with glowsticks flying everywhere. They were the only source of light as it was total pitch black darkness with flashes of light from the cameras. Clubbing that night was fun but awkward as we were in our sec sch uniforms. Haha! The night was still young and we partied and dance as if there was no tomorrow. Slept like a log that night.

Today was the first day of my camp at RP. As usual everyone says cheers, plays games and ice-breakers. Regardless of the situation, my team will e as silent as can be. Haha. As the day goes by, some interactivity shows up. The guys had no problem and had a great start. The gurls as usual were shy all the way. By the end of the day, we came up with our teeam mascot and a team cheer. Finally, after working so hard together, we're much more open and comfortable to talk to each other. Then, there was a night-walk in a haunted house. Guys were supposedly to go alone and the gurls in pairs but due to the lack of time, teams went in 4s and 6s... No scary atmosphere at all. Had our shower later with extremely cold water. Slept at 1.30am with a freezing temperature of 10 degree celsius. Phew...

Nyai Loro Kidul or Nyi Roro Kidul or Ratu Laut Selatan ("Queen of the South") and also known as Kangjeng Ratu Kidul is thought to be a Javanese goddess. The identity is of a goddess or Queen of Southern Sea of Java (Indian Ocean or Samudra Kidul) in Javanese and Sundanese mythology. So the name refers to a female divine, even some notices name after a male person.
Nyai Loro Kidul has many different names, which reflect the diverse stories of origin, however for many Javanese it is important that the appelations are used when mentioning her name - never 'just the name'- but always with Nyai, Kangjeng and Gusti (only for the noble) or other honorifics when being referred to. The name of Eyang (grandmother) is heard by people who invoke the Spirit-queen and talk to her. See Invocation.
Nyai Loro Kidul controls the violent waves of the Indian Ocean. Her dwelling-place is in the heart of the Indian Ocean, which is told to be her realm. Sometimes she is referred as one of the spiritual queens or wives of the Sultan of Yogyakarta or corresponding to Merapi-Kraton-South Sea axis in Yogyakarta Sultanate.
It was Panembahan Senopati (1586-1601 AD), founder of the second Mataram Kingdom, and his grandson Sultan Agung (1613-1645 AD) who named the Kanjeng Ratu Kidul as their bride in the Babad Tanah Jawi.
Nyai Loro Kidul is often illustrated as a mermaid. In this image she is referred to Nyai Blorong who has a mermaid tail as well the lower part of the body of a snake. These creatures take your soul for any wish of material matters addressed to them.
One original telling is about Dewi Kadita of the Pajajaran Kingdom, West-Java, who desperately seeks for the south after black magic that had hit her. She jumps into the violent waves of the Indian Ocean where the spirits and demons crowned the girl to the legendary Spirit-queen of the South.
A very complicated story goes about the Ajar Cemara Tunggal/Adhar Tjemara Toenggal on the mountain of Kombang, a male seer who actually was the great-aunt of Joko Susuruh. She told him to go to the east of Java to found a kingdom on the place where a maja-tree just had one fruit; the fruit was bitter (pait) and the kingdom got the name of Majapait. The seer Cemara Tunggal would marry the founder of Majapait and, any descendant in first line, to help in all kind of matters. Though after he (the seer) would have transmigrated into the "spirit-queen of the south" who shall reign over the spirits, demons and all dark creatures. After all it is because of these traditions that the myth about Nyai Loro Kidul got a Sundanese, West-Javanese origin.
Pelabuhan Ratu, a city in West Java, celebrates an annual holiday in her honor on (New years day in the Javanese calendar). The special day which is dedicated to the Nyai Loro Kidul is on April, the 6th. She is also associated with Parangtritis, Pangandaran, Karang Bolong, Ngliyep, Puger, Banyuwangi, all along the south coast of Java.
There is a local belief that wearing a green garment in these areas will anger her and will bring misfortune on the wearer, as green is her sacred colour. The Samudra Beach Hotel keeps room 308 furnished with green colours & reserved for Nyai Loro Kidul. The first president, President Soekarno, of Indonesia was involved with the exact location and the idea for the Samudra Beach Hotel. In front of the room 308 there is the Ketapang tree where Soekarno got his spiritual inspiration. [1]
Legends recount her love for the Sultan Agung of Mataram, which continues to be recounted in the ritualized bedhaya dance by the royal line of Surakarta, and she is honored by the sultans of Yogyakarta. When Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX died on October 3, 1988, the Tempo newsmagazine reported her sighting by palace servants, who were sure she was paying her final tribute to the dead ruler.

Had to work today at the Singapore Power building for the finals of the inter-school skit competition. Not a bad day. Had lots of fun and met many new friends. After work, a colleague of mine, whose cousin-in-law was one of the dancers for the group called Fantastic Four, had two extra free tickets for the Dance Floor. So, me and my friend decided to go. Crap! We missed the bus stop we were supposed to alight and had to walk back. LoL! Finally we arrived at the Mediacorp studio and it's smaller than what you see on the television actually.

Legend
The legend of the jackalope has bred the rise of many outlandish (and largely tongue-in-cheek) claims as to the creature's habits. For example, it is said to be a hybrid of the pygmy-deer and a species of "killer-rabbit". Reportedly, jackalopes are extremely shy unless approached. It has also been said that the jackalope can convincingly imitate any sound, including the human voice. It uses this ability to elude pursuers, chiefly by using phrases such as "There he goes! That way!". It is said that a jackalope may be caught by putting a flask of whiskey out at night. The jackalope will drink its fill of whiskey and its intoxication will make it easier to hunt. The legend also states that the jackalope also bred with a camel to form the jacamelope. It is also legend that the Cherokee Indians would eat these at the end of a vision quest. It has also been said that jackalopes will only breed during electrical storms with hail, explaining its rarity. The jackalope is the product of the mating of a male jackrabbit with a female antelope.
History
The jackalope legend in the U.S. is attributed by the New York Times to Douglas Herrick (1920–2003) of Douglas, Wyoming, in 1932. Postcards showing jackalopes were also sold in the U.S. in the 1930s.
Horned hares abound in European and, particularly, German and Austrian, legends as the Raurackl, Rasselbock and Wolpertinger. These legends were possibly inspired by Shope papilloma virus-infected rabbits with fibrous growths which can resemble horns when they occur on the animal's head. The many illustrations of horned hares shown in scholarly works by European naturalists in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, may have been similarly inspired.
While researching, this is clearly one of the most strangest legends I've ever come across.

Orion, a mighty hunter from Greek mythology. In one version, Artemis, the goddess of hunt and the moon fell in love with him. She was so entranced by him, she forgot her divinely duty of illuminating the night sky. Her twin brother Apollo, seeing Orion swimming in the sea, dared his sister to strike what only appeared to be a spot on the waves. Not knowing it was Orion, Artemis shot an arrow and killed him. Later, when she found out what she did, she placed his body among the stars. The grief she felt explains why the moon looks so sad at night.

For most observers Orion is the most impressive constellation of the sky, no doubt. With its large number of bright stars and the distinct group given by the three belt stars it is easy to find in the winter sky (see lines). In mid-january Orion culminates at about 22 h local time. Observers located at the terrestrial equator can see the constellation marching through the zenith; the belt stars are at a declination of about 0 degrees. Orion's position is also close to the galactic equator, you already can see dense star fields in the upper left corner.
Orion offers a wealth of interesting and famous objects like the great Orion Nebula (M 42/43) and the Horsehead Nebula (IC 434). The brightest star is Rigel (Beta Orionis), visible in the lower right. Against the convention, that greek letters are given in order of intensity, the second bright star Beteigeuze is named Alpha Orionis (Orions left 'shoulder').
For those who aren't into star constellations, you may not understand this however, from my personal experience, I have seen the Belt of Orion (right beside IC 434) 3-4 times in mid-january 2007. It's the 3 blue stars you see there. They were as if alligned in a single perfect line. Rarely do you get to see these things, glad I saw it. (If you wanna compare the two pictures to find the distinct stars at various similar points on Orion, rotate the star constellation picture upside-down and compare)

Atkinson returns to the iconic role that made him an international star in Mr Bean’s Holiday. In his latest misadventure, Mr Bean--the nearly wordless misfit who seems to be followed by a trail of pratfalls and hijinks--goes on holiday to the French Riviera and becomes ensnared in a European adventure of cinematic proportions.
Tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder to head to Cannes for some sun on the beach. Ah...vacation. But his trip doesn't go as smoothly as he had hoped when the bumbling Bean falls face first into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, far-fetched enough to make his own avant-garde film.
Wrongly thought to be both kidnapper and acclaimed filmmaker, he has some serious explaining to do after wreaking havoc across the French countryside and arriving at his vacation spot with a Romanian filmmaker's precocious son and an aspiring actress in tow. Will Bean be arrested by the gendarmes or end up winning the Palme d'Or? It's all caught on camera as Atkinson again applies his awkward athleticism to a comedy of errors in Mr Bean’s Holiday.
Watched this today at The Grand Cathay at Cathay Cineplex. Planned to watch at Plaza Singapura first but the seats were limited and most of them are sold out. Almost watched TMNT but we preffered to stick to what was originally planned. So we went to watch at The Cathay Cineplex located behind Plaza Singapura. Had to walk a little. A total of 10 of us. Thankfully there were enough seats, 6 in a row seats with 4 separated seats and the right timing. I expected better but, it was hilarious as usual. Him and his dumb antics. I'll give it a 4 out of 5 rating. The thing is, I can't believe I just paid to laugh at someone else.

Went for a game of pool later at Marina Square, beat the crap out of them by winning 10 out of the whole 13 games we played.

The remake of Final Fantasy III was already in development when it was decided, after considering the PlayStation 2 and other consoles, to bring the game to the Nintendo DS, a decision that would later be positively reinforced by the commercial success of the Nintendo DS.[8] The Final Fantasy III remake was first announced to be in development on October 7, 2004, but detailed information did not emerge until a year later. Hiromichi Tanaka, one of the main designers of the Nintendo Famicom version, headed the project as both the executive producer and director. His guidance and supervision were needed because the remake was not a mere graphical update as Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II's remakes were, but a total overhaul using the Nintendo DS's 3D capabilities; however, the layout of the dungeons and towns closely matches the original. Along with 3D graphics, a full motion video opening scene has been made for the game, similar to those found in the ports of the 2D Final Fantasy games for the PlayStation. The game also has a mognet system where players can register other players' friend codes, online using WiFi or the local area network, and trade mail, which is essential in unlocking a secret job, quest, and area. Developer Matrix Software handled the programming of the game.
Woohoo! I finally got my hands on one of these babies! Searched for 4 months but was sold out in every single store I went. Singapore only had 2000 copies shipped in at that time. Most of the stores sold out their entire stock on the first day of their sales! Now their in stock! A whopping $75 if you buy at Comic Connection. I suggest you buy it somewhere else where it's cheaper. I'm a big fan of Final Fantasy games and the wait was worth it. I give it a full 5 out of 5 rating. The opening scene's movie is breathtaking. Guess I'll be busy playing this game for a while.

Long ago in ancient Greek, a talented Greek sculptor, Alexandros of Antioch, used blocks of Parian marble and carved them into a beautiful statue of a goddess called Venus de Milo. Found broken into two parts in the ancient ruins of Milos by peasants in 1820, it was then reassembled but not completely. This figure was identified (although without proof) as being a representation of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty. Its fragmentary state has inspired a number of imaginative reconstructions, but the most convincing probably has the left arm raised and the right in front of the opposite hip. The Venus de Milo is considered a Hellenistic sculpture, the type Classical (as in the expression of the face) situated during the late period of Greek art. Although a left and right arm was lying beside the statue when it was first found, the pieces didn’t seem to fit. Now after enough evidence, those arms are accepted by people that they belong to the statue but experts still could not fit the arms back onto the statue. This being true, the arms of the statue may not necessarily belong to it. This led to the mystery of the goddess’ arms. Many prefer to think that they are still lost. If it were found, what would the completed Venus de Milo look like? The mystery of the arms is the fame and beauty of the statue. Some even claim that it is never the same when viewed from different angles. This is true however as studies have proven that this statue was built to be seen from the right. A unique and magnificent statue indeed.

Pool, pool and more pool! This has been the game that keeps me alive this past few months. Played again today at Lot 1's K-Pool. Like any seasoned players who always goes there to play, the cues are fine, the tables are nice, they play the same music almost everyday but the ever-common blackout that occurs there is irritating. Today, it happened twice when I was playing with my friend, Ming Jun. Out of the 13 games we played, I lost 9-4. To make things more challenging, we played with lucky-shots considered as fouls. Well, it was a nice game. Bumped into three other friends who later came playing at the table beside us, Adelard, Khaliq and Thiban. The blackout happened twice but when it happened the third time, it was permanent. Games were cancelled and they had to close up. The generator might have short-circuited and blown the fuse. The good news? Everything was free and we didn't had to pay a single dime for the 3 hours we spend playing there. Lucky day perhaps.

There is evidence to suggest that children are highly susceptible to paranormal phenomenon. They can see what adults cannot, they believe what adults deny. In 'The Messengers', a suspense thriller starring Kristen Stewart, Dylan McDermott, Penelope Anne Miller and John Corbett, the Solomon family has left big city life for a secluded farm in North Dakota. Soon after they arrive at their new home, 16 year-old Jess and her 3 year-old brother begin seeing ominous apparitions that no one else can see, and are repeatedly attacked by something from the other side. Now they must try desperately to warn the rest of the family before it's too late.

From the downright nonsensical stuff to the crappy and lame jokes to the what's-hot-or-not-to even political stuff.
