Pictures galleria!!!

2007-04-27T01:43:00.000+08:00

I was browsing through the collection of pre-liberation DT04 class pictures when i noticed some are extra amusing to be left untouched. Hope those involved will not mind. This is for entertainment purposes only and the copying of any material is not halal!

There was this one candid photo of us at HPB's waiting lobby... YFT and MY were kneeling beside me. For some reason, they looked symmetrically toppling off distally in relation to myself. I decided to investigate. I resized the picture to 50%, contrasted it to the max, sharpened to the max, increased the size to 100% again and reversed whatever i've done. This was what i found:

Click for full view!
No wonder i felt there was some mystical energy building within me when Osman the "zerooooo uhuh uhuh" man failed to give any countdown.

Anyways, i was browsing through again, and stopped upon one picture of us all at K310 which made me stop chewing my gum for a bit. It was, guess who?

TYB was backin' that ass, homie!!! Hehehehe.
It was a damn awkward pose alright. Pardon the poor cropping, hehh.

Then i also realized one thing. YFT barely smiled in any of them pictures! His resistance to smiling was tremendous.
Heh heh heh... So i helped him, with a little makeover, heheheh :)

Then i was surfing across Friendster when i found my old SHS camp group picture! Spot Marilyn and i!

Won't be blogging life much anymore, will do more interesting and different things in the future :)

Considering closing the blog.

Update!!!!!

2007-03-29T23:20:00.000+08:00

i will be updating my blog regularly soon.
The recent downtime has been mostly due to a change/upgrade of computer, adjusting to walking, something mildly tragic + mind boggling, and the loss of my beloved and precious image editing software.

2007's poor start for me.

2007-03-08T23:01:00.000+08:00

Today's Digital Life paper knocked my balls of the socket. It was just last week when i made a 'sure buy' tech-wishlist and got to know of the IT Fair which ends this Sunday. That paper's guide to the big event rubbed salt on my 2nd surgery's wound. I can't possibly survive with the nationwide triathlon!

Then i came to think about this year and all the events i'm missing out on so far. I tell you, 2007 started off so interestingly and i'm the biggest loser ever. Firstly, Yngwie Malmsteen's gig. Then, Muse's. [Missing out on those 2 already made me go "FUCK!", louder by at least 3 times you read it as]. Singapore's final with Thailand. Devilika's boat and ghost-hunting rides. A couple more events which i cant think of, and now, the IT Fair.

ARGH.

On the lighter note, though...
Lola and i had our super thirty-three. I guess i'm just grateful i hadn't missed out on this one.. :)
[awww haha shit]

Art.

2007-02-25T22:39:00.000+08:00

By: Me!
Got so bored and wanted to entertain my lady for a bit.

Come on people!!! No pics?! The thrill of doing friends is a different challenge to me and i'm willing to do it. Pear, send them over and i'll review it! Oh and yes, most of you got more pleasant-looking :)
[Those who are lost, refer to previous entry].

Andddd check out Lola's latest art, a photomanipulation at HER DA now!

Kung POW!

2007-02-21T02:24:00.000+08:00

Kung Pow is HILARIOUS!! AHAHA! Okay.

I've been receiving notes from people at DA, asking for permission to use my artworks for non-profit signature-making... It's incredible! I'm going to be more well recognized worldwide!
BTW, i just submitted my first vector after my leg's decalcifying incident. It's made with more cartoony effect to it.. Check it out at MY DA PAGE!

I was browsing through for other good (as in fantastic) stocks but to no avail. So, you people, if you hope to see a vectorized version of you, send in your picture(s) to me! theyasman at gmail dot com! Picture/s should be: Big, sharp, with good lighting, and if possible, good-looking.

[Taggy Replies]
[Ping] Hey yea, i forgot! Okay, if FuTian and Yus comes over to play, i'll invite you too, okay? We were half-planning this Winning Eleven thing since ages ago.
[Ijah] No lah, can't walk yet... I'm no miracle worker, haha. I'm fine, just can't walk with 2 legs.
[Keith] Suggest when ahhh and gather them then tell me. On.
[Beng] Thanks :) Glad you're glad... How's you and your boy? Heheh okok.

Whoossa.

2007-02-17T23:44:00.000+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year to all my Chinese friends! :)

Many things have been happening for me all these while, and most of them are positive! I'm going to start vectoring people again soon after completing Devilika's site (here). Lola's done with her final exams. Received an X-Box, nicely arranged beside my PS2. The Marketing ICA is done with a breeze.

It was nice to see my class again on Friday. You guys may not realize it but many of you girls have changed since the last 4 weeks! Heheh.

I'm thinking of planning a Winning Eleven 10 tournament at home for my friends. Lunch will be provided... Invitation is planned towards the AI Dulu gang. SMS me your opinions or preferable dates, guys! I may be lame with a broken leg but i won't stop living life :)

ps: keep tagging, people! Thanks guys!

Restructured.

2007-01-22T15:10:00.000+08:00

To the wonderful TAGGERS:
A HUGE THANK YOU for the support yet again! It kickstarted my optimism and contributed a lot to fighting my depression.

So i went through with the operation and was warded for 2 nights. Lola accompanied me for 75% of the time. Words can't express my gratitude for those who came and visited me. I'm truly touched; especially by those whom i didn't think would come. And coincidentally, my visitors came at times where they don't overlap each other. Received many puffs, biscuits and stuff... Thanks people, i will return the favour some day :)

The final diagnosis and treatment done:
Broken Fibula - stainless steel cylinder installed covering the bone, connecting the break.
Widened Ankle joint - Stainless steel plates at mesial and distal sides to lock my feet to the leg.
Torn Ankle Tendon - 2 screws inserted to let tendon heal.

I've lost sensation of some (if not many) parts of my feet and toes.
The crazy thing is, my foot isn't casted - there's no need to. It hurts 7/10 minimum at all times and i'm on hardcore painkillers. Will be MIA for at least 8 weeks and DrHema (who visited me on my discharging day) will be trying to rescue me from a drop. She's really working her ass off to help me, i feel damn grateful and touched.

PS: Those specific people who intend to laugh at me, get out of my face, i still have one good foot to give you a swinger. Thank you.

Down the pits.

2007-01-17T01:11:00.000+08:00

Thanks to the encouraging taggers, it means a lot to me :)
Wana, i was with Marceles and it was a freak soccer injury.

I'm in a depressed state currently and my only sense of strength lies within Lola who's been there for me, sacrificing her tests and school attendances just to make sure my trips to the hospital don't feature any difficult episodes. I've been against random acts of public affection but dammit guys, i love her.

The chance of me having to repeat a semester is getting more and more likely as i will be scheduled for operations which involve placing stainless steel plates, bolts and nuts into my ankle. Apparently, the break in my fibular isn't much of a problem - my ugly ankle-twist made the ankle somewhat displaced off my feet (it hurts horribly bad) and the metals will assist in holding my leg to my feet. I can't remember how long it will be until the freaky external metal retainers come off, but it will be at least 3 months till i can start walking again, and that's when my semester ends. I doubt my ability to play soccer again but i'm willing to give that part of my life away - i want to graduate with my class. I will be fighting to recover and graduate with the wonderful DT04 batch, and i'll appreciate it if you guys help me out if DrHema and the managers are not with the idea. It's selfish i know but it's tormenting to know you're so close to the end but then shit decided to occur.

My first operation is this Friday. Wish me luck :)

Limping lame.

2007-01-09T05:25:00.000+08:00

I broke my leg. Left fibula, oblique breakage, causing widening of the tibia-fibular space.
Experienced extreme physical pain, but the psychological pain i'm encountering is almost unbearable.

I do NOT want to repeat a semester and i do NOT want to enter NS late.
Feeling rather emotional over the whole thing.
Thanks to all those who offered to help / helped me, i really appreciate your support... Dropped me to tears each time i think about it :(

Last lap!

2007-01-04T21:56:00.000+08:00

Singaporeans (many, not all) suck!!! Dammit! People are dying and suffering due to the earthquakes on our Northen neighbours, affecting all sorts of cable-depending distributions... But what do Singaporeans do?! Whine and complain about their slow internet connection / navigation! Fuck!

On another note, tomorrow's convoy riding is to be somewhat cancelled as chief Hassan @ Valarie of DarkFateBrothers Inc has been hospitalised due to hernia :(

The last semester has (finally) began and partnerring WenXiu tells me HPB will scroll by quite smoothly, while Cady remains being my partner at NDC so i can hardly get bored. My attitude towards this final 4 months is comparable to a load of shit, and FuTian's not feeling any different either.

What i usually do to up my mood is navigate on the best of comedies and humour-junks there are online, but currently i'm struggling, because the internet's too bloody slow it kills my brain cells before they die! Damn it why can't you load faster, SOB IE7?! Cracked you at the wrong time?!

..oops?

End of the year.

2006-12-31T01:38:00.000+08:00

The school (or rather, attachment) term is fast approaching and i've truly enjoyed my holidays so far. I'm not looking forward to it at all, but the thought of being released from academics is pleasant enough.

Got my bike back from Derek. The colour's brilliant, just as Lola wanted. She then helped me out to fix on some fancy accessories and voila, Phase 1 out of 2 in the project is done :)
On the uglier note, my new bike rain cover got stolen for the second time. This time, it had my plate number written and scribbled all over it. It even had two 12cm tears, which i did purposedly to disgust potential thieves! Fuck!

Hari Raya Haji BBQ with the whole family tree tomorrow, plus countdown with Lola by the bay. Have a Happy New Year, everyone!

[Tagboard Replies]
[putoline] You should, thank you.
[Liza] Why not? It's a service warranty...
[Arfandi] Hahaha, good point. Exactly why stores bring in cheap shit - for people like you (and i and many others)! If we have to give and get presents during XMas, we shall ask people for Raya or CNY angpaos too.
[Kel] What?

Christmas eve.

2006-12-24T17:08:00.000+08:00

Almost everyone around me are going around, spreading the 'Merry Christmas' thing - many of them simply acting like they care. Call me Grinch but i really don't give a crap about it. I mean, the message is spread across all races and religions; it's unfair. You don't encounter Selamat Rayer to the Chinese or Indians nor Happy CNY to the brown people. Besides, it doesn't snow here, it rains all day and night, Singapore's getting expensive and what do stores do? They bring in numerous amounts of useless or cheap junk that shouts, "Here you go, Merry XMas, we're cheap shit that qualify as gifts coz we aren't unpleasant! Yay..".

Okay i have to stop short, i have to attend my neighbour's XMas buffet party.
Don't get me wrong, i don't despise this particular holiday.
Hence, a very Merry Christmas to Christians out there :)

[Tag Replies]
[Serra] Red and white, Majulah Singapura!
[Liza] Not really... It's for a Phantom, which has lesser body parts than any other bike. I'm paying more for quality paint and 1 year warranty :)

Flooding strikes twice in Marsiling.

2006-12-20T22:58:00.000+08:00

I'm bikeless for the week. What a fine time to be bikeless indeed! It has been raining mercilessly, flooding occured at different places and it was freezing!

My bike's with a guy called Derek now, undergoing a paintjob ;)
Since Winthur won't be available till after CNY (sigh), i'm approaching this Derek guy as my best gamble. I hope for the best! I'm pretty excited yet worried in a way. Plus, you know what? I miss my bike so much! Seriously i've never known i'm -this- attached to it. I bet it's homesick too. Gee. And i'm pretty confused, i want time to fly so i can collect my bike, but at the same time, i want time to hog on by slowly because the holidays have not really been abused yet.

Should i or should i not go Batam?

Living the life i was born to live?

2006-12-15T16:24:00.000+08:00

Sorry for not updating much, my life has been revolving a lot around DeviantArt and the EPL. I'm seriously considering freelance art as a part-time thingy while i serve the low-paying bond and ponder about my future. My portfolio(aka)'s improving i think, and i want it to expand and i'd like to try new styles for the sake of exploring.

Did a paid interview with Jennifer's guy, Matt, and his partner on rainy Tuesday. It was cool. If only i can keep earning like that.

Went out on a planned Singapore Roadtrip yesterday, with Lola. Many unforeseen events happened and many plans were forced to change, the biggest bummer being the on and off heavy rain!! However we did have fun and managed to cover 150+km on the mileage meter.

Managed to squeeze in time for rollerblading too. It has been some time since we both last did the hobby. She's very skillful, being an ex-blader and all, so i got her to teach me some tricks. It took several tumbles onto the sandy, wet grounds of East Coast, but alas, i managed to pull off and master the great 'Swift Turn'.

There was a close-shave that could've been terrible. This P-Plate rider cut into my left-most lane right in front of my front wheel and slowed down to turn left into a minor road, all within less than 3 seconds. I e-braked and sounded my supah-LOUD airhorns and he turned back with a face expression so shocked and priceless, Lola and i had to laugh our asses off.

Been out of reach.

2006-12-11T13:58:00.000+08:00

Sorry for not updating, i don't really like green, and blogspot's lagging lately.

So anyway! Had our super 30, it's amazing how time flies, and 30's a huge number.

Had to help out in a "wedding" ceremony at a void deck yesterday (to my non-muslim friends, i repeat, these aren't actual weddings but it's a show to show-off they're married). It was tiring but i learnt a lot about how these things go about.

Been updating my DA gallery, do check it out and comment, folks!
(Link to it is below my tagboard. Click on "Gallery" when you're in.)

PS: The recent SG Indian pornstar - does anyone have her latest blog address? She moved once and now her latest is dead. I haven't even read any part of her blog! It's not like i care, but i'm on holidays and i'm curious. Plus, she looks like one of Vijaya's friends - is she?!

Make it or break it? Bollocks!

2006-12-02T00:14:00.000+08:00

I passed my Advanced Theory Test, yaaay... Took me 10 minutes, was the last to reach and the second to leave. Earlier, i spent like, barely 5 minutes on the Advanced Theory Book because i forgot Lola has it, and when i intended to flip through it at her place, Spongebob Squarepants was on! Maybe lady luck was clapping my ass cheeks.

I'm going to have to go public for some time now after a wiring re-construction gone wrong, causing complete drainage of my battery. The horror!!!

Movies i watched recently:
Tenacious D: Pick of Destiny - Awesome, humorous. Not for boring, narrow people. For sure Keith and Carmy will like it.
Step Up - Girls kept saying the guy's cute and the movie's great. I kept assuming it's just another teen flick; and i was right. Shit.
Long Khong - Realism of Thai violence beats Hollywood and yellow-people countries to the ground. Excellent disturbance. Do not fuck with Black Magic :)

[Ijah] No i did not CUTTED my hair.. The barber did... And it was some time ago.
[Yamin] How can i ever forget you, brother... If i'm gay, you'll be my boyfriend. I've been visiting your blog recently, i don't know if it's new, but for sure, will link you up pronto, aiights.
[Keith] Incredible Hulk = Shit.
[Kelly] Fierceness is subjective... I think it can be fierce, but mellow at the same time. Anyway, those times... Haha, it happened only like, a few times haha.
[Ping] Some time ago, your blog entry read something like, "Your results show your attitude.." or something like that. Boo.

End of placement.

2006-11-28T23:24:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow marks the last day of my current partnership with Ang Wei Wei at HPB. I know i've been a lazy partner, i assist like an ass, and i'm really sorry... It was really fun having you as my partner :)
My next partner will be Wen Xiu!
I still have the awkward feeling of having awkward times in the future with her, but the same went for AWW, so i guess it will go fine. Will be at Op3. Was at Op17. From Fandi to Fandi vintage (get it?).

Results for this placement sucks. It somehow reflects on my attitude and effort for this semester, and dammit, HuiPinko is right. I shall not be complacent just as yet, one more semester to hang on for!

My bike's makeover is slowly going through. Winthur the paint master is finally back after his overseas studies. Fixed my Anchor Crash Bar (it looks damn fierce) and my super loud twintone horns. The horns are as loud as those in trucks, so don't piss me off on the road! Would love to do some pranks on friends and old aunties with it. It had a minor wiring problem at first, during the installation process. When it was sorted out and the horn button was pressed, AhKoon and i went temporarily deaf for about 27 seconds.

Mean green machine.

From turqoise-blue to ogre-green.
My eyesight's depleting more and more so i figured making my blog green might help.
Help to report bugs, kay?

I reflected a lot today.
Joanie should've won.
Hady's video stinks bad.

Out to play soccer yesterday. There was a little mystery to my behaviour, some sort of adrenaline junkie. I... Overdid Creatinine and had RedBull before the exertion. Sorry to those who got attacked by my crazed woobalankas. It was fun though, i felt like sprinting home.

[Nisa] Lola's just an alias for my blog. Her name's Lisa ;)
And yeah, go ahead post it up :P Haha, long lost friend~ As long as your boy doesn't get angry over it (of course he won't). And no doubt, i did get the right Nisa. I remembered your P1 face :S
[Keith] And also grass. Good for your eyes.
[Lola] Yeah. Do you know the previous turqoise one stayed on for a year already?!

Rayer Aftermath.

2006-11-18T10:59:00.000+08:00

Those still going out for Raya this weekend are probably going to get teased by now. As the month of Raya is closing, i shall post up some of them unposted pictures ;)
Click for full view.

Out with Lola.

1. Not too happy with the full body shots of us due to my itching eyes - it swelled that day.
2. Cool eh? Just before sending Lola home.

Rayer with AI-Dulu (aka #StraitUp. Retro beb!)

This is the only picture i have for now, and to think i fetched it off Piz's Friendster account! Goodness! Fadhli and Keith joined us right after this place. We also did our usual video-ing, not so much this year but the ideas got more creative. Took 2 cars, Tea's and Pai's. We shall have a bigger one next year!! Hope more people comes!

Marceles Juniors Rayer + Our girlfriends

As usual, we hired a big bus to teleport us everywhere. Lots of food - At every damn house! And they are GOOD food!
Atmosphere was great and we were very colourful.

END (sorry, kinda abrupt i know). Lazy to continue. Enjoy.

2 weeks over.

2006-11-06T23:33:00.000+08:00

The pseudo-examinations break is over and its back to Outram madness every Tuesday to Thursday for 1 month, until the long awaited December!!!

Used the short holiday rather well, at least i think i didn't waste much time. Many more personal projects to be completed, but the pieces are getting together and i'm being very patient.

Raya visiting with DT was interesting, got lost once because Banu doesn't know where she lives. It was extremely fun, food were great and Mas drove well enough to keep off trouble.

The bigger Raya outings will fall this weekend.
Besides that, Summerset (previously The Pillions) are kickstarting a new phase and we're coming up with a new look that features only 4 people, with Keith possibly being our drummer. This will be temporary though, 5-piece bands have more edge and less barrier.

Raya raya raya.

2006-10-30T22:16:00.000+08:00

I always wonder, why is it "Selamat Hari Raya" and not "Selamat Bulan Raya"?
Hari = Day. Bulan = Month. Raya lasts a month and the traditional visiting of homes goes on throughout it.

Was out Raya-ing all week long. The atmosphere kinda sucked at first but it slowly built euphoria. I'm pleased with this year's Raya so far, and the anticipation of the few more planned outings with friends sure rocks.

A few pictures for your curious viewing pleasure:

This album's on the outing to Dad's side yesterday, was very fun. The girl in yellow with a streak of blonde highlights is my lovely sister. Reached home way past midnight, was shagged as shit!

2 weeks break is in. Raya all month long.
This is the last year i'll be receiving money.
Dates for outings with Marceles and DT04 's C.O.W is set already. Travelling by bus and car respectively.
AI-Dulu, come on, arrange something and mass inform, okay?

Down with the sickness.

2006-10-13T21:28:00.000+08:00

Was down with the flu (yet again, not to be confused with the cold). I'm under yucky neon pink Erythromycin now. Cady took 3 patients at NDC yesterday to cover my absent butt. [Thanks!]
Tagboard's sick too.

Dad found 3 flying lizard eggs and they hatched several minutes ago. Their tails are super long and are damn cute. We recreated a pseudo-habitual environment in a ventilated tupperware for them. Wet candy is also placed in it to feed them. As in, ants will come by for the candy and the lizards will then munch the ants to bits. What were you thinking?

Health Psychology test wasn't easy. Messed around my brain a lot. Did my best not to cough for the entire time - which might've pissed the class off. I feel like deactivating the 'results-by-SMS' feature... Somehow i feel that this time, my sleep will be interrupted with bad news. Hoping for the best though.

You know, this semester, all (or most) that i've done to fetch them grades is b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t.

Geylang.

2006-10-03T22:41:00.000+08:00

Went Geylang last Saturday, after shitpit NDC in the morning. Was lethargic as hell! Crowd wasn't -that- bad. Food were great! Parking lots were overflowed with bikes. It was like a bike fest! Met Azhari on his green/black SP, pillioning Alfian. It's been some time, man!
Didn't get myself anything Raya-related. Will be doing the necessary hunting this Saturday. Those who are going, tag!

Final Year Project 2006.

2006-09-29T19:55:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the long absence - No excuses.

Final Year Project is finally over!!! I was quite disappointed though, as last year, many people attended our seniors' one (including DrBryan) but we only had a handful of the DT06 batch, DrHema and DrMok. Everyone looked stunning, which surprised me, because i've always thought we're already a good-looking class - didn't know we could look more pleasant.

It was fun though, everyone did well and nobody screwed up. Glad DrHema's pile-driving questions were dodged well by all the groups, especially with FuTian shoving her questions right back to her face (and he said his subconciousness took over), Kelly's group being saved by the bell and as for my group, well... She just ran short of questions.

I don't know why but the aftermath of the whole event today makes me feel very emotional. Maybe my emo NDC partner transmitted emo-ness to me.

Autosol is beaten!

2006-09-18T22:10:00.000+08:00

I was happily polishing my bike and retreated backwards away from it to have a better view of which part of its exhaust pipe has less shine. Little did i know that there was a helpless cockroach stoning behind me. I stepped on it accidentally, slipped like a mothertrucker and fell bums first.

Roaches are slippery and deadly.

They wait, they smile.

My room is junk - in a total unsightly mess. It's far worse than the fire-prone scavenger's homes that appeared on Newspaper headlines lately. And to think there's so many pressurized cans of spraypaints all over! You come into my room and leave with grey-black soles!

Year 1s visited HPB this week to have a first hand documentary of what's up with us Year 3s. Got this friendly girl named Fenny (i still dig the name. So cool).

Cady introduced an interesting yet tough game today. I kinda suck at it; so did Mas. Punishments for making wrong moves are 3 hits. I got like, 81?

There's this black cat trying to force-hump my white Furball. She's not even on heat yet. He's been chasing her for 3 days already, having tried to hump her by ambush more than 10 times. She's a tough cookie, so he hasn't really been successful. But he's really horny so he's not giving up. Perhaps Furball just doesn't do interracials.

Had a family barbecue yesterday. Lola came along and helped with the kitchen duties. It was quite fun. The food, fire and weather were great!

I miss my old ride, but as whorey as i can be, i'm up and running with a new one already. A TA200, my old TA150's successor. It's more like a downgrade despite the higher CC difference, as TA150's a 2-stroker, while TA200 is a 4-stroker.
It's plate characters and numbers are lame, the colour is a bit of a bore, the exhaust pipe's chrome was excessively overheated before, vibrates like a mother*- and picks up like a whale on land.
But! It's new, sounds thunderous and bass-y (oooh i love the bass), in very stock condition, a lot lighter than TA150 (i kinda struggled with the lightness at first), an electric-starter, and most of all, its fuel consumption is about half of bloody TA150!

Win some, lose some.
Will be pimping it by/once the semester ends. It's so boring and bald now.

[Tagboard Replies]
[Keith] Aiyer, sorry, slow.. Forgot the oldskool IRC languages.
[Fizo] Cool, is it in stock condition or is it pimped?
[Cady] Huh. Ok.
[Adilah] Eh, if you're serious about the kittens, SMS me. I'll give you the address for you to collect some (while 'stocks' last).
[Kelly] Time is money, hahaa.
[Dee] 6 times?! Damn... Hope i won't match or beat your high record, hurhur.

2 birds, 1 stone.

Today's just one of those days whereby a lot has happened and it feels like it was worth living for.

Passed my BTT in 8 minutes. It's potentially insane to fail it.

Got back my Motor Insurance certificate from NewUnion today, and they'll be showing off a 'new' bike to me on Friday... If i like it, i'll be going for it! Kinda excited.

Received 2 lovely kittens from Lola's sister since they're clearing their stock of more than 20 cats. They're so tiny and adorable, bound to melt the rockiest of hearts. I doubt my family's ability to take care of them though, and they might be off to a better home.

Lots more happened but i'll save on the details. Toodles.

[Taggy Replies]
[Pinko] You bet :(
[Cady] Why the excitement, and why for sure? This is amazing.
[Kelly] Hey that's cool... The Wheezers!
[Keith] Season mo? Wha?
[Fizo] Nawh, not much actually. I took them seats and saddlebags away before selling. All in all, i lost only around $100 worth of accessories, which is considered okay. Have you been riding?

Happy Birthday, Lola!

2006-08-27T03:10:00.000+08:00

Goodbye to LoliTA150... Sold the bike to a nice guy. Miss the colour, the pickup, the outlook and a lot more but it's a move i had to make. So yes, i'm back to public transport and it feels shitty like hell again! Will save money slowly to get an ideal economical cruiser.

NAPFA turned out to be fun. Haha... Seeing classmates (and both Doctors Mok and Hema) test their bodies. I did fairly well, was pumped to get at least a Silver, but my 2.4km went wrong again (since 2002). My best effort in my life was 12 minutes, and that was during my tough Track&Field days. Was quite disappointed to see 12:13 on my 5th lap and i decided not to torture my body and sat it out. My whole body's aching now. I'm quite eager to go for a re-test though, 2 months off NS means a lot to me. How? Anyone keen to join?

Had dinner with Lola's family in celebration of her belated birthday, at Lestari. Saw Subhi and Liza. On the actual day, we had a simple day out and got some bites at Swensens. Lola's having her big break now and it drains me off academics even more. The motivation to carry on is getting lesser by the day. The frustrating Communications project is finally done and over with. I'll prolly get terrible results but i do not care anymore.

[Some Taggy Replies]
[Joyce] How come?! Unfair!
[Liza] The latest ones are due to the 'impression-taking' thingy that we guys did.. Apparently ulcers may develop like hotcakes after the procedure. Thanks for the tip though!
[Ijah] Haha... Wells, you didn't have to be there to say hello.
[Ruth] Heylo!

Movies @ The Padang.

2006-08-21T01:52:00.000+08:00

Saturday was impression-taking at NDC. I partnerred a braces-ful Cady. She was quite good at it, despite 4 ulcers. 3 developed early, then another cropped. 2 on the floor of the mouth, 1 on the right cheek beside my molars and the other on the right, near the angle of mouth.
Since i was DrMervyn's guinea pig too, i had 2 casted models. Maybe DrMervyn caused the ulcers, but i'm sure of who attributed to the 2 floor-of-mouth ones ;)

I tried on Cady despite the danger of damages to her braces. It failed for both upper and lower arches but it was quite fun. It was only when i reached home then i realised, i was never able to be successful - she has ortho wires!

Spent the evening till midnight at The Padang with Lola. Class 95FM had this Movies at The Padang thingy, which was very cool! Movies were free, weather was good, shops available till midnight, everyone's to be seated on their own mats, DJs were funny and cool, activities were enjoyable! It was a nice experience for us.
I mean, imagine - A picnic cum free movies! Awesome!

Let's do the boobies dance!

2006-08-16T21:59:00.000+08:00

Rihanna's SOS video is insane, and i've never been bored of it since the first day it got launched at YouTube. The most impressive move was the 'boobies dance', whereby her shoulders move in a way that it flaunts her chest so much, it looks so weird yet sexy and potentially wood-giving.
It's kinda impossible to immitate the move, but i tried, in front of Lola. She laughed on and on an on, and she didn't only teared, she cried.

On a darker note, my DeviantArt subscription is ending soon! 2 more days, in fact! Dammit... Anyone willing to subscribe for me? Please..?
Nevertheless, my gallery is still available for viewing here.

EPL is staring this weekend! I can't wait! Lola's gonna get sick of Saturday nights. As the unperfect guy that i am, i let her share my #1 spot in my priorities list with Manchester United.

[Taaaaaaaagboard Replies!]
[Queen] You're the jackass queen.
[Fizo] Nawh, he doesn't look a tad bit like him too. He looks like a typical Chinaman.
[Cady] Haha! Maybe not, because you might influence her soft and unpulluted mind...

Fireworks aftermath.

2006-08-13T21:31:00.000+08:00

The fireworks festival is over.
Yesterday was France, and though not as colourful as Caledonia, they showed why they're back by popular demand. Their finale timing was a bit screwed up, but nobody cares. The Esplanade and Marina Square was littered terribly on the aftermath and i feel it's such a disgrace.

Managed to watch them all with Lola, who's jackass skills are really improving i shall say. Example:
It was 8.55pm. As i watched the excited crowd behind me, she pointed to the sky with such urgency and went, "Hey look!!!". I focused on this goon behind me and chose to ignore the others, and i saw him rushing to find his camera with his hands while his eyes suddenly focused onto the empty sky. Lola was giggling uncontrollably in mischief and the paiseh guy acted like nothing happened. It was hilarious, his hands were all over the place and you could just smell the adrenaline pumping.

[Tagboard Replies]
[Cady] We should shout them colours next year!
[Liza] I thought YOU became serious! Haha!
[Kelly] I think you're being too serious. These are called random humour, only some people get it, though there's nothing to get.
[PasserBy] You're funny too!
[Joyce] No! Those people who blocked you aren't 'like me'. They are just people who perhaps read my blog and thought of trying it out on shorties.
[RieVan] Haha! Maybe in the future i'll make my blog interactive, so fellow visitors can add on to lists such as that one.

Fireworks jackass.

2006-08-10T22:16:00.000+08:00

I thought of some jackass stuff that can be done during the fireworks festival.

While you walk across the huge crowd waiting for the show to start, or if you're already part of it, pretend to talk on the phone and go:

1) "What?! The fireworks show's cancelled?! Why?! Really?! Fuck!"
2) "Yes, launch the stuff at 9PM, not now. I know you guys are excited. Don't delay, the crowd's huge here."
3) "No, dammit! Not purple! Start with the white and red!"
4) "Shoot them slowly okay, we got to burn like, 12 minutes like the other 2 countries."

Or talk to a friend:

1) "Eh you know, they're gonna shoot this HUGE red ones and some purple ones will sparkle around it. [More random blabbers here]. Just watch, just watch. I saw their rehearsal yesterday."
2) "You know, i farted this huge one. See if the crowd notices it when the fireworks start."
3) "What the hell are they looking into the sky for?"
4) "Secret makeout place, my ass!"
5) "Wow it's so crowded, i think i'll try touching some asses."

Or:

1) Steal a camera/tripod or both.
2) Advertise your auctioned items.
3) Step on those who are seated and say, "Ouch! Fucker."

During the show:

1) Shout every colour that you see exploding in the sky, and drag the pronounciations, eg: "Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnn~~!!"
2) Shout to a friend, "This is for you, baby! Will you marry me?!"
3) Argue on the phone, "Fuck, this is not what i told them to do!!!"
4) "I regret this spot. The people here stink."
5) Stand and block short people.
6) Make loud sex noises.
7) Push the people standing close to the water.
8) Demand buying drinks from the apek stall when the apek's clearly engrossed with the show.
9) Continuously shout "Boring!" and "Lame!".
10) "Holy shit that one looks like my areola during my HIV days.."

Fireworking.

2006-08-06T13:44:00.000+08:00

Not been blogging, kinda busy with my usual shit.
Had to skip the jam on Thursday night, turns out Yan gave it a miss too, so more or less it was a big waste of time for the rest. Sorry yah...

Fireworks Festival yesterday @ The Esplanade. The crowd was unbearable. Somehow i think it's ridiculous to wait HOURS just for a 12-minute show. Lola and i reached half and hour before it started and got a perfect view of it. I've watched more than like 10 fireworks displays since being with Lola so i wasn't really too excited about it. I was thinking... How the hell can this one be different from the occasional stuff i've been seeing?!

But kudos to team Italia for shooting up NEW stuff! Maybe it's just team Singapore that's boring, since i've watched them over and over again but nothing was new. The sparks which stayed in the sky and shot multiple times after certain delays, the rows of sparks gliding with parachutes & sparks bouncing off the sea.
Their start was cool - shooting in the colours of red, green and white. I wonder if Singapore's gonna shoot just red and white.. Gah. The ending's cool too.

So yes, i'm definitely satisfied watching it and will recommend watching it to my family and you readers, but don't wait for hours, yea? Just watch it, it's not long. It starts at 9pm. Stand around and you won't be blocked. Unless you never saw more than 2 displays of fireworks in your lifetime.

[OVERDUE Tag Replies]
[Liza] You find out which's is scarier and tell me.
[Keith] You talked about TV people adjusting their hair.. And then mentioned Poltergeist, which is a phenomenon whereby things lose attachment to the physics of gravity... Wha?
[RieVan] Thanks, anyways i finally found the Ira. Or rather, she found me.
[HuiPing] I'm going to trust the papers a lot.
[Ijah] I guess you decided to wear spectacles after that it was the changing factor. Haha lame joke.
[Cady] & [Fizo] She was in white and i was in red. We're Singapore. Kapish?
[Kelly] Yeah, i think she's gorgeous too... (Haha :P Plus-pointers fishin~). Anyways i did not photoshop it, it's all leeched off Lola's own Photobucket after she resized them.
[Pearline] Will be, but not soon. Around 40mb more. Haha!
[All] Thanks lah for tagging.

NDP Preview 2006.

2006-07-30T21:52:00.000+08:00

Surprised Lola with the tickets on Friday night and she's delighted to experience her first (and the last) at the Kallang Stadium. She's having a rough time with FYP now so i figured it'd make a good getaway activity as i have no weed. It was more than just an NDP Preview experience for me, but also an emotional one, as i recalled back the countless moments i had with the Kallang Stadium.

It was sunny and i left home. Halfway through at Gambas, rain just shot down. It was a thunderstorm! I was caught off-guard and even before i thought of pulling over to don my raincoat, i was too drenched to even give meaning to the carbon fiber suit. Got really pissed and detoured home. Lucky for me, i have my other red tee (i was in NDP mood). Some pictures:

The goodiebags are cool, contains more useful things than previous years.

Went to laze around at Marina Square and the Esplanade thereafter and met Faiz and Amir. It was a warm encounter and it was good to see them again.

Soccer with Marceles just now. I have no idea what score it was in the end, but there were plenty of goals. I was bloody tired and Opit's boots were giving me blisters. To make things worse, i got a nice bruise on my left ankle and calf area after a whack by the centerback.

Nacho Lickyourassgoodnight.

2006-07-28T22:59:00.000+08:00

Watched Nacho Libre, as recommended by Carmen. Guess i should be trusting all the magazines' and papers' reviews on it instead! I'll rate it 5/10! Several factors helped save the movie - Jack Black (duh), the awesome Hispanic-ness, the cute fat orphan boy and the awesome, lovely beautiful nun (like damn).

Was touched by an angel when a non-greedy someone offered to sell me his NDP Preview (tomorrow!) tickets for a ridiculously low sum! Yeah! FuTian thinks to want to go NDP is uncool, but i have to admit, I LOVE NDPs - but only at Kallang Stadium, and since it's the last time there, it's going to be extra special. Can recall the precious moments when i trained and competed there for AISS' Track&Field..

So yes, those who are going tomorrow, see you!

[Tagboard Replies]
[Carmen] I regret watching it :(
[Liza] Well, you see, she didn't look into it, but saw something squat in front of it. The mirror was not facing her :P
[Cady] I thought of that, but she said the thing's like a P6 kid's size. Anyway, glad you didn't die. That makes me a hero.
[Yassa] Hi Yassa! Do you know Yassa is a chicken dish?
[Keith] Actually, i don't understand.
[RieVan] Yeah, haha, one to tell to them kids.
[Ijah] Why??
[Kelly] I wobbled? Maybe lah, because rain just stopped and it makes the roads especially more slippery... But balance a while only :P

Flu pandemic.

2006-07-24T08:52:00.000+08:00

I've been down with illnesses (comprising of flu, high fever, sore throat, neck and back pain, bleeding in the nose, cough and severe spinning headache) since Saturday. Still haven't recovered yet. So sorry to my group for not being able to make it for today's session.

What's stronger than Paracetamol but not Aspirin?

Oh yes, Ghost Story.
My 9-year-old sister woke up in the middle of Friday night to go toilet. She opened her room door and saw someone, of maybe around a 12-year-old's size, squatting in front of my living room's mirror. She got scared and held her bladder.
Dad then asked me what time i slept that night. I slept at 11pm i think, whereas she saw that thing like around 2-3am. She demonstrated the squatting position once and has been avoiding the topic eversince.

[Taggy Replies]
[Beng] Who knows there are long-term effects? Heh, hope not.
[Pearline] That made me laugh. It's really funny. Another lesson learnt: It's not fun to laugh when you're sick.
[Kelly] It's potentially funny but Pearline sort of mentioned it already.
[Cady] That's really random, man. Hahaha.
[Ijah] I find it amazing you remembered her! Whoah! Well, my family's intending to get one of my previous maids back, but certainly not KakLis. She's so-called too 'hot' for the Banglas here.
[Carmen] I didn't know you keep track of friend's maid problems numerically.. I wonder what could be worst. Knife to the throat?

Attempted murder.

2006-07-21T21:06:00.000+08:00

Read the whole entry, if not, just the bottom 3 paragraphs.

NDC was still interesting yesterday, with Nurse Rozi shoving the thermometer deep into our ears and the fiery hell of DrTanWC at the dying minutes of time.

Jamming yesternight. Fingered the bass like mad. 2 painful blisters.

Went to NUH's Medical Library with the FYP team (comprising of YingBeng, YuanQi, GeokShan and myself) to search for related articles. Spent half a day there. I have to say it was quite fun! Haha.

My maid was sent home today morning. The reasons are worst off than the others that my family have ever had. There are multiple things that are disturbing, but let me reveal just 2 of the most horrible things that you might never think you'll be reading here:

1) She tried to poison the family a few months ago.
2) She tried to poison my baby nephew a few weeks ago.

On both occasions, we got really sick but managed to recover. She spilled the beans when attempting to plead her innocence - when nothing was suspected of her. It was out of the blue, and when pressurized, she couldn't handle it. Fucking slut. She's a loner with no family back at home (go figure its relevance). These, adding on to other factors, are too much to the end of the line.

Thank You For Smoking.

2006-07-17T00:39:00.000+08:00

Watched Thank You For Smoking yesterday, at The Cathay. Great movie, certainly no surprise why Today paper and FuTian gave it a 5 out of 5. Nice to hear only adult laughter, thanks to its M18 categorization!
First time watching movie there, thought the theater looks and feels great.

Food costed only $2, thanks to CADY!!! Hahaha, greedy me ordered quite a lot, so sorry for the trouble!

So yeah, after thinking to myself the movie was worth more than what i paid for and having Cady at the food counter was a steal, life showed me that nothing good comes for free...
... I got a ticket - Fined for wrongful parking, along with around 10 other bikes. Dammit, it was full-house in the MSCP, had no other choice! What luck!

Saw Carmen, HuiPing, SherSher and WenXiu doing their surveys out in the public. Lola helped them fill one out.

Then zoomed our way to Baybeats 2006. Very packed, yo. Realized i'm less indie than i was. The crowd didn't consist of a large percentage of hooligans and mad attention-seeking dressed gooners, so it was okay. There's an increase in the number of young malay girls revealing their chests though, even when they know they don't really have any. Those with bigger melons just decided to wear lesser fabric.
Didn't bump into many people we know so it was great.

Overall, an interesting day, really.

Blooper!

2006-07-14T23:40:00.000+08:00

Was having the group discussion for our Communications assignment when we had to find relevant questions to ask Trina, our fantastic comedian-lecturer. The title is about an attention-seeking, rather oddly-behaving kid (those with the book, check if you're curious, Part 4).

One of our questions were: "What school is she studying in?"
..Because we were starting to think it might be a mental or special school, given the kid's different behaviour pattern. Trina replied with, "Aiya, what school you want?" Obviously she wasn't intending for the kid to be in a special school, but i made a guess anyway (Based on my experiences with them at HPB) - i went, "CHIJ, haha!"

Then Trina went, "OI! I'm from CHIJ too, you know! What's so wrong with us IJ girls, huh??!!!"

Dammit, it wasn't the blue wire.

What?

2006-07-09T20:38:00.000+08:00

I'm making a lot of decisions right at the start of this semester already. Plans for my still-unclear future is continuously rehearsing itself and waiting to be 100% convinced.

I'm financially bothered and disturbed, it has come to a point whereby i feel like biting my 4mm-diametered lower lip ulcer until that chunk of oral tissue gets chewed.

The conflict of what my heart and mind says has ended.
I want it now!!!

Special note: Congratulations to my fellow friends who've recently passed their TPs, regardless of what Class :)

Year 3 kicks.

2006-07-06T22:06:00.000+08:00

The semester has started.
HPB is still fun, but i prefer having a cubicle near the kitchen.
DrYong's a changed man.
NDC's the usual morale-degrading place.
But partnerring Cady's always interesting :)

School today. Trina is a super cool person! She's a stand-up comedian plus a fantastic lecturer! I laughed my balls off today, and so did most of the class. I'm so looking forward to next Friday!

DrMok, our new staff in charge of our FYP is a damn slack person. I'm glad she has that kind of personality, such a contrast to the uptight and research-lovin' Class III dinasour.

Going to VICOM for loliTA150's inspection.
Hope for the best! *Cross fingers*

2006-07-01T02:24:00.000+08:00

My World Cup has ended. Costly mistake by Juan Pablo Sorin and unfortunate injury to Abbondanzieri to release rookie Leo Franco.
Kudos to their excellent performance in the WC'06 all-round.
Those who didn't know Argentina's strength till the World Cup finals on CableTV and support them eversince telecasted, you are kind of like posers but it's okay.

I can't understand non-Germans who support Germany (except those who bet for them).
I'm very upset and this has made me a lot less alive.

Big party tomorrow.

Busk.

2006-06-28T21:48:00.000+08:00

Was out on a Busking-For-Charity performance with The Pillions last weekend, at the heart of town - The Paragon. Might be having another round this coming weekend, depending on availability of slots. There was a huge crowd!
Then we were greeted by a lady who said she was helping to be a middleperson, as a White man had asked her to get our contacts to feature in a TV show that he intends to create soon enough. We were too shocked to reply and so she brought us to the man himself. He said he was impressed by our performance. We spoke about terms and exchanged numbers. Yay.

I'm going to get a haircut this weekend, but not before my dearest nephew's Birthday party.
Thinking of getting a Class 3 license.

Crimson's name has officially been changed to loliTA150.
Items will be listed in no particular order. Click thumbnails to view bigger size (don't be shy, there's no bandwith limit. I love ImageShack).

Pillion Eagle Footrest. Pillions can now stomp and rest their feet in position.
Had it installed only 2 weeks after getting the bike.

Disc holder. The aluminium deco blends nicely with my chromes. Hidden cosily from direct rain wetness.

Rubber studded front fender mudguard. No more worries regarding excess water splashing to feet, precious chromes and steel! The small sweet red ruby in the middle of the eagle picture is just so right.

Blue: My precious VTX Headlights. Stands in front of everyone else.
Green: Chrome front fender trim. To cover up a minor break, and add to the chrome-&-polished look.

Super loud FIAMM Horns (one on each side). Red and black, fits with the bike colour. This baby can KILL, seriously.

Lockable studded hard leather saddlebags.
Yes, you might have noticed the seats... Which are next.

Studded leather seats to replace the stock one which has seasoned till almost rock-hard. Looks amazing, feels cushion-y great! Butts simply sink into this.

Studded rear fork bag, nicely sheltered by my rear box.

New rear plastic number plates. The front one's replaced too but that one, no need picture lah. See what i mean when i said the old one's abused? What's worst - it's yellow.
The screws used red washers which are absolutely right for the cherry red of the bike. Replaced 6 other screws with the coloured ones too.

So yea, overall look:

I couldn't find a better picture, but this is how it was before anything was done (except the pillion eagle footrest). This was during a professional bikewash by a naked NS man. Spot the differences :P

So that's it.
Been getting lots of headturns and attention with the new appearance.
Do tap the horn or give a gesture when you see me on the road. If you see it parked anywhere, do leave some cash in my rear fork bag if you appreciate what you see. Leaving your name is optional :)

Have a good day.

Postpone.

2006-06-22T23:02:00.000+08:00

Apologies, my modifications entry will be done tomorrow instead of today.
Was washing and polishing my bike, until i realised it's already night time. I want the good morning sunlight :)
By the way, i used Autosol for the first time. It works like magic! Couldn't believe my eyes how shiny my chromes got. Even my mum was shocked, she thought i rechromed the parts.

Was at AhKoon just now, fellow bikers there waiting for their turn were circling and admiring my bike, asking the where-what-hows. Felt a bit special :)

Stay tuned!

Bike makeover.

2006-06-21T23:59:00.000+08:00

Fixed a depressing fuel-consumption problem just now. All the havoc was due to a small (almost not visible by naked eye) crack on my air piston.

My bike's mini-makeover will be completed tomorrow.
The add-ons and stuff might still continue in the future though, but the stuff i was thinking of changing were already installed. Only left with tomorrow - to fix acrylic number plates. I've decided not to add my name into it as the debate on legality regarding that issue is not firmly placed in Singapore. Hence it'll be a normal looking one just to replace my current abused set.

Pictures will be uploaded in my next entry.
Those who see my bike on the road, do give me a gesture or a flick of the horn and say hi :)

Back here.

2006-06-20T23:58:00.000+08:00

I'm back :)
Would have the rest of the break free of any concrete plans.

Mum's birthday today. Chocolate cake was nice! It wasn't fudge-coated, but 'mousse'. Some jelly-like material. Awesome.

Nephew's big birthday bash on the 29th.
He's growing up so quickly.

This is a boring entry.

Away mode.

2006-06-18T01:27:00.000+08:00

I'll be away on a 3-day journey starting tomorrow.

I hope you guys have fun.
Randomness rawks.

Estrim makeover.

2006-06-12T16:13:00.000+08:00

My bike's gonna go through a rough makeover this week, most of which are of cosmetic purposes. I've done most of the work already and will post pictures of the before and after when everything's done. Next up is to get new acrylic number plates to replace the current abused ones and a studded leather mudguard flap for my front fender.

World Cup fever is on, and fever it might be. Germany plays football too tactically till the game gets boring. England is too highly rated and clearly showed no signs of going far. It's a huge waste Turkey's not in - And hence, i've been sticking to supporting Argentina. Teams (which've played) to watch out for, so far: Sweden, Argentina, Ecuador, Portugal.

BandzOut aftermath.

2006-06-10T23:59:00.000+08:00

This year's BandzOut was a blast. The crowd was bigger and the bands weren't as noisy as last year's. The guest bands were all fantastic and experienced, felt honoured to watch them perform.
The Pillions performed our best with the songs we covered. The bass amp was very soft so i blasted all the settings to full and fingered hard. There were lots of fans of our band, most of which were Neo's friends.
Thanks to all those who supported us! I saw a few people i know here and there, and i'm thankful for your cheers :)
It was a great experience. Made friends, saw the school unite (especially during the 1-hour long electrical failure), the CCA points.

It was weird to hear 2 songs we planned to play being played by other bands. No regrets though, it was an awesome journey. Would like to thank my band members for the experience. To Peng, the young drummer, all the best next year! May you find a good band!

[Cady] It's Coast Of The Opposite Residence, but close enough. Anyway, yeah, my queen's unlike me alright - I'm not beautiful.
[Jason] Hello Jason! Didn't expect a tag from you at all. Thanks for the comment on my work :) Take care.
[Kelly] Heheh :P I don't know what to say.
[Ijah] Damn, that's difficult to live with them... Hope you're okay. Anyways, would love to get the picture of that aftermarket replica of me asap.

Rhyme or reason.

I've decided to post a few pictures taken on the 4th.

Our lunch. My favourite pizza, stuffed crust BBQ Chicken.

Our dessert, a remake of our first anniversary idea.
The best damn tasting cake in the world!

2006-06-06T14:34:00.000+08:00

First of all, i'm sorry Liza, there won't be any details about how it went because it was just another date. The day went fine and as simple as it can get. One thing for sure is, it means a lot to the both of us :)

Moving on.
The holidays are in (minus this coming Thursday), and i'm loving the freedom of late nights and having to worry about nothing! I can finally get myself back on track and do things which i've loved to do.

Guys and girls out there, The Pillions are going to perform in this year's NYP BandzOut! None of us knows why the hell -that- name, so don't ask. Peng on drums, Yas on bass, Neo on rythm guitar, Joseph (he bassed for my band in last year's competition) the capeman on lead guitars and Sufyan (who did Sweet Child last year) on the mic. We're covering HIM!

Details!

Thanks to the well-wishing taggers and friends!

Apologies as it appeared to be a threat somehow, haha.
Do expect a recurrence whenever there is a big announcement to make.

Will blog again tomorrow :)

Accidency.

2006-05-28T22:52:00.000+08:00

2 things to cover for this post: My minor accident, and X-Men III!

Had a negative encounter with a fucked up FEMALE DRIVER yesterday, along the bendy roads of Dhoby Ghaut area. The road's lanes were deviated to the left at the junction, and once the lights turned green, the side of her red Nissan kissed my right side of the bike. She basically tried to save up some time and petrol by manouvering the lane in a straight form. It was a low-speed accident which caused:

1) My right ring finger to swell at the median metatarsal.
2) My right footpad to bend downwards, beyond function.
3) Loosening of my right mirror.
4) Horrible psychoemotional disturbance to Lola.
5) LOTS of paint damage to her car! So fuck off, bitch!!

She stayed in her car as i neutralised my gear beside her. Gave her a fucked up look and she went out to flap back open her left mirror (which was hit shut by mine). Claimed "It's not my fault!" and didn't seem interested to get monetary compensation from me. She looked rather weak and scared. I asked for her to spare me some cash to get my damages fixed but she drove off. Got her license plate number, but nothing much can be done. Figured it's her loss anyway, my repairs are a lot cheaper than bloody paintwork.

I'm very thankful to be fine, along with Lola. My finger's still bad but it's okay.
Getting the bike fixed tomorrow. AhKoon might give a huge discount as i'll be having many stuff done.

Okay, 2nd topic, X-Men 3! Damn it, the movie rocks balls! 9/10!! Go watch it, Marvel freaks and not!

[Tagboard Replies]
[Liza] Yea... Supervisors at work are constantly asking me to get it cut.
[YuanQi] Seems like it's the opposite =(
[Sugaaa] Thank you!!! I appreciate that!
[Cady] I never knew birds poo on flowers.
[Tea] It should come with the exact date it comes, coz i'm still waiting for the damn rezeki.
[Joyce] You tag like the way you walk. Haha! Anyway, i AM lucky to partner you. Willing to stand and bend awkwardly while assisting. I shed tears for you but you didn't see it.

Viva la DaVinci.

2006-05-21T16:17:00.000+08:00

Caught The Da Vinci Code yesterday. Full of twists and events, definitely a great watch. I don't know what those who've read the book will say though.

Minutes before the movie, a bird found it's bullseye target on my Adideng shoulder.

Ha! Loser.

VTX, baby.

2006-05-17T23:08:00.000+08:00

I've fixed my new VTX headlights on Crimson. Fantastic outlook, man! Fierce!
Will post pictures when i get my camera back from Lola.
Took the chance to fix a new stoplight bulb and tighten my chain. Went home, cleaned and polished the life out of it, until it was painful to the eyes under the sun.

I forgot to blog about Lola and i having dinner at Swensens the other day. After our meals, we decided to share one Banana Split. Matin (ex-AI) who works there, served us 2 sets of those, claiming there was an error with some other customers' order and he was told to send the extra one to the kitchen - but gave it to us instead. Cool! Apparently the error was due to a "Bonanza Split" and not a Banana Split. Weird.

I did a vector on Lola. I personally think it's one of my best works so far. It is viewable on my Gallery linked on the right, below my tagboard. Comments appreciated =)

[Tagboard Replies]
[Joyce] I knew you'd be excited. Sorry for the delay..
[Ijah] The sale is off, haha! Sorry... Anyways, is Roy in Nursing too? The 'Jack' thing is really weird to me.
[Liza] It was pure luck, i totally bumped into it, haha.
[Cady] She really might be a ghost. A cornrow ghost.

Holiday schedules?

2006-05-15T09:52:00.000+08:00

I've done 2 blog layouts half-heartedly within the past hour. Disliked the outcomes of both and scrapped off the idea of a new layout; or at least until mid-June. Got my links and archives updated - Finally, Joyce is linked! =)

Sent my bike for a professional bike-washing service yesterday. This guy's known for thorough cleaning and the charges aren't cheap - Which was why i wanted him to wash only the rear tyre rims (for a fraction of the price) which were infested with gross crap and excess chain lube. He did an astonishing job! From matt, yucky brown-black to sparkling steel! Awesome.

Went out to accompany Lola on her shopping mission for the weekends. Got some stuff for myself too, including a pair of black corduroy pants for attachment. It was on sale at $16, originally being $59.90. Ha!

My Deviantart Gallery is up for clicking already, on the right division, under the tagboard. Do check it out!

[Liza] I did grey long ago, then i lost interest in it, though i find it nice. Thanks for the suggestion, won't be changing any sooner i guess.
[Kelly] It was all jammy when i was on the way back. Was busy probing the roads, didn't see you along the stretch, so i guessed you escaped it. We shall race one day, sure, haha!
[Dee] Done that. Cheers :]

Sentosa aftermath.

2006-05-07T23:39:00.000+08:00

Was glad my bike was safe after parking at a relatively high-risk area at Harbourfront, susceptible to fines and/or theft by foreign workers. I still do not understand why bikes cannot enter Sentosa. Very silly.

Costa Sands' chalet at Sentosa was the worst one i've been to, with external amenities and facilities very far away from the area, and the internal ones being straight-up ridiculous and old. Accessibility was a big down factor.

We did the best of what we can afford to. I understood several classmates better. Most importantly, i had more fun than expected, regardless being inside or outside the room. The card games were the best :)
FuTian taught me the Mahjong, i learnt several other games too.

Made the best fire i ever did for any barbecue, with the help of Yusri's effective multi-firestarter ignition techniques and FuTian's charcoal-breaking strength. Got complimented by our neighbouring pit-ers till they wanted to takeover the pit once we're done, as ours are still burning the good heat.

This is a very boring entry, eh.

[Tagboard Replies]
[Joyce] Orange?! Cool! Anymore colour suggestions for the blog, people?!
[Cady] Whatever! I'll let it stay within me! Anyway, good volleyballing, counterpart!

Sentosa.

2006-05-06T13:20:00.000+08:00

I'll be leaving for Sentosa for the DT04 post-exams chalet today, and will return tomorrow night.

Had a gigantic dinner with Lola yesterday. She over-ordered and i did my best in attempting to finish her share.

(Unrelated to the previous mini-paragraph) I've gained around 5lbs of weight during the break week, due to oversleeping, couch-potatoing and lack of motivation to go gym with FuTian. It's kind of obvious where it went to.

The attachments are back in, but i like it. It's like a break, with some clinical practice. You do your work, but at the same time, think of your free time. Ahh.. Nice.

For this grades-worrying aftermath period, i've planned several things to do:
1) Learn Photoshop from head to toe. (Or at least, all required for my Vector styles).
2) Get my bike done up.
3) Make a new skin for this blog (any color suggestions??)
4) Clean up my room.
5) Relearn my guitar.
6) Sell many stuff online, which are still yet to be posted.
7) Exercise regularly.
8) Do at least 10 vectors (any of you with good quality, high resolution, sharp pictures who may want to get yourselves vectorised, send your pictures to me).

[Tagboard Replies]
[Ijah] Thanks, but i didn't, haha. Take a picture of that senior of yours, okay?
[Kelly] I read your blog. It's HUGE! Well, as for me, if i have to go, i'll go... Heh. You bit yourself anyway! What's cancerous about that :P

Becks.

2006-05-04T00:49:00.000+08:00

Today celebrates a negative of 1 of 2 three hundred and sixty-fives.

Fetched 2 items for Crimson's mini make-over today. I just realised that Singapore's bikes are at risk of being the most ridiculously looking ones - thanks to the damned IU and Probation Plates.

Didn't memorise Piaget for today's essay. Not a smart move, or rather, ridiculously unlucky.

My huge ulcer on my upper anterior lip is recurring. Hurts like a tuscaloosca egg yolk on a frying pan.

[Liza] Is that a private joke or something? Coz i don't get it :S

Exam week.

2006-05-02T01:08:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow starts my examination week.
This phase certainly does not feel normal at all. The mugging doesn't feel as urgent and scary. I'm not confident either. Falling asleep too often too. Perhaps it's due to the early demoralisation, thanks to the existence of projects instead of oldschool ICA tests.

Research Methods results are out, and i'm damn unhappy with mine.

Let's do this.

[Tagboard Replies]
[Kaz] What an idiot... If i'm to serve terms, i'd rather steal a Class2 sportsbike and not waste my few mins with a damn RXZ :P
[Liza] Haha... Sorry... He didn't buy my insurance premium, so no chance. Hey, you're working, you buy for him la!
[HuiPing] The psychosexual's Freud. Sorry for the confusion.

Bloody break.

2006-04-27T22:59:00.000+08:00

This week's a lot longer than i predicted.
I'm bored, sleepy, distracted and way too relaxed.
Tomorrow might be a potential waster yet again, but what i know is, i'll kick up the gear on the weekends.

Got myself a 2nd pair of raincoat, for my lovely pillion(s), for only $20. It was tagged at $72. Eye-popping.. I love my hawkeye for great deals.

Will be on a mini-mission after the exams. Crimson needs some pampering done. Will post her pictures on my Friendster once the little 'makeover' is done.

And my pal Kaz (right there on my tagboard) who previously lost his bike at Liza's multi-storey carpark has finally had a reunion with his machine. Crazy country, we live in.

[Tagboard Replies]
[Kaz] So, what was the process man? Is it 100% intact? Damn. Anyway, good for you now you got it back, haha..
[Hui Ping] The sight of the word puke made me want to puke too. The sight of Vygotsky, his psychosexual friend, Piaget and the rest of the gang makes me want to choke someone.
[Cady] Just my luck to bump into you two... Was really feeling like loosening up that night lah... Aiyah there goes, another excuse.. Kk.

Piaget, Erikson and Vygotsky can die.

2006-04-25T22:11:00.000+08:00

Tried to swallow in some Developmental Psychology today.
Fuck the module :)

And i especially hate the idea of strategic SEQs. Come on, we're at Tertiary level and doing Health Sciences. To make us answer according to memory and strategy is straight-up bullshit.

Installed my Harley Davidson Fork Bag on my bike's right rear fender. No space at the fork and behind the sissy bar, all thanks to the incompatibility of the damn saddles. Looking to get new ones after the exams. It tempts people to steal it and i'm crazy enough to take that risk.

Bumped into Cady and Leen at Metro yesterday. Was with Lola. Was off to Causeway Point only, so close to home; With bike somemore, so nobody looks at me.. Explains the 'uncle' dressing. Ha!

[Taggy Replies]
[Keith] Aper dah... Where's the motivation man?! Then i shall borrow your ride sometimes, i want to know how it feels like to ride a yellow 2B cruiser-type.
[Kelly] I do, though i thought it was a damn lame nick... Haa... :P
[Ijah] Thanks for the favour :) Much much appreciated!

Where's the gap?

2006-04-23T21:59:00.000+08:00

Rode to town yesterday, great to know it takes only 20 minutes. Plus, free parking (credits to Aza for the tip).

Went to Sembawang Park with Lola to just chill out and eat bazaar snacks. It was close to midnight, CRAZY DARK and deserted. No joke. Made a detour.

Heartbreak for me: Got to know the Saddlebags won't fit into Crimson and i'll have to let it go. I'm considering the need for sidemounts now.

I miss playing soccer and my right boot tore.
I hate my guitar, my fingers have lost their abilities.

Yus is finally waiting for TP. And he has no idea what bike to ride. Fizo and Keith, update me on your progress alright.

[Kelly] DD Essay = Developmental Disabilities Essay :)
[Mastura] You won't believe how much of your emotions were made obvious at that moment.

Killer.

2006-04-21T23:00:00.000+08:00

Dr Hema's test today was an absolute KILLER. Question 1 was okay, but question 2 onwards (all the way until 90) kept hitting me like a son of a bitch.
I don't even want to guess what grade i'll get for it. Ridiculously tormenting, not forgetting demoralising.

Ethics and DD Essay tests' results are out. I'm happy with mine. Barely anyone did badly anyway.

Had a get-to-know session with the Year 1 and 2s.. Right after that damn test. DT04's moods were skimming the low tide of course. Apologies for the unenthusiastic participation! Would've had lots to comment on the planning of the event, but i'm sure the Year 2s did what they can.. Kudos :)
A better, enclosed place would've made it less messy; and water-splashing? Maybe not.. 04's a very posh group. Haha...

The Year 1s look very fresh, like usual. (Some of the Year 2s still look fresh, but.. Not as fresh as they were. Out of topic.) The malay girl, i think Fizah was her name, was VERY enthusiastic - it made me feel like i have hypothyroidism. She recognized Mas as the "girl in the book". Mas' facial expression was priceless.

1 week study break. Tomorrow being the last Saturday at NDC. Finally, TGIFs will start again!

Eagle footrests.

2006-04-17T22:00:00.000+08:00

I went for bike servicing at Ah Koon today. Fantastic workmanship indeed. Took the chance to get pillion eagle footrests too. Gotta do some running in till the oil tuning gets seasoned, and what better way could the idea of the journey from Woodlands to HPB (and back) be?

I came at the perfect time. The workshop was free until halfway through my servicing, when a long queue of around 5 Phantoms formed.
Saw a brilliant Shadow Slasher there. Absolutely eye-popping.

Lola was with me throughout the day.
So, when exactly do i start studying, aye?

Oh anyway, i also got myself an MHR helmet.

PS: Apologies to Mayon for oversleeping the game away. Sister took the cellphone to play games and it was my only source of alarm.

Pay Day, finally.

2006-04-16T18:08:00.000+08:00

I've long awaited the time when my bank's refilled, and the time has come! It feels good to start withdrawing at ATMs and my mind's at ease, thinking of a good day to go service my bike.

But......
I just realised my exams are like, in 2 weeks time. The saying "Warning, the dates on the calendar are actually closer than they appear" couldn't have hit me harder. The adrenaline pump has not started in my system, and i'll just go with the flow. I've come to a stage whereby my mind says practical work will overshadow theory in every aspect of my future.

I suffered terrible back pain 2 nights ago, and my dad massaged it, diagnosing it as a severe case of a possible nervous failure at that specific part of the verterbrae. I was bandaged like a mummy that night.

April's fool.

2006-04-05T12:17:00.000+08:00

Something's sparked in DT04. We shall stick together.
Anyway, this week's a week of hell. Hope it goes well.

Watched The Hills Have Eyes. Very disturbing movie! The thrill factor was continuous for very long moments in the movie. Sometimes i think it's too much and all i wanted to do was get out of the theater and catch a comedy or something. Not so much deal for the M18 category, i'm vaccinated against violence. But still, the movie's disturbing. 7/10 for me, overall.. But if you are in the mood for some suspense, this is a great choice.

My bike's covering a mile weekly, i think it's insane. It's been a sluggish time since the last payday. I need to service my bike desperately. *May* be taking public transport next week to conserve Crimson's life. Bummer.

[Tagboard Replies]
[Ijah] It's long-er, and it's up to an individual how 'long' is categorized. It's still short to me.
[Mastura] Haha, tied my surgeon's cap too tight that morning.
[Hanah] There's some essence lah here and there, some wavelengths of your voice represented hers. Heheh. Or maybe just that my judgement was coked.

Happy Birthday indeed.

2006-03-26T14:09:00.000+08:00

Thanks to all the birthday wishes from everyone!
Sorry Hanah, couldn't recognize your voice, thought you were Cathy.

The plan was for Lola and i to go ECP and have a chillout picnic.
Great weather, good atmosphere, and damn, it's so much faster travelling by bike to ECP. We used to wish to go without hassle and will collect money for cab fares.

My one out of two birthday mini-cakes. The other one got turned over in the box (haha!) and was not planned to be shown here (tastes awesome though).

Her gift for me - a ring that fitted superbly. She used judgement and guessed the size. She's really good. This was initially wrapped in multiple wrapping papers.

Then she took out another wrapped gift, and when i opened it, it was spaghetti! She cooked it for me. Never got a taste of her cooking before this, and i shall say it's very nice indeed. Really.

So i thought that was it. She then gave me another gift! It was a total payback for what i've given to her sometime back, but mine's red in colour.

The stars were fantastic. And i was so lucky, i caught 2 flying ones. We burnt the last life of the candle and watched the flame hoola along the horizon.

So seriously, i thought that was it. Sent her home close to midnight. Then, she handed me YET ANOTHER GIFT, which came with a letter. She wants me to open it only when i'm home. Was surprised and did just that. Turned out to be the fragrance my olfactory senses have got a major crush on.

Just a glance of us during the picnic.

She was so busy and lethargic with attachments and hospital visits to see her grandma but still managed to get her idea for this day. Was really touched.

She's the best :')

Creatine overdose and the be-early party.

2006-03-24T21:41:00.000+08:00

My group's Developmental Psychology presentation is finally over! My groupmates did excellently for it, and kudos to all their hard work rehearsing their lines! :)
Hope we get an A for it!

My family decided to have early 'celebrations' for my birthday as they predicted Lola booking me on the real date. They ordered pizzas, chicken wings and salad. The birthday ice-cream cake was of natural durian flavour, with even the fruit's threads in the paste. Stuffed myself like a christmas turkey! Food was great. My sisters gave me a Manchester United mousepad. Aww.

I saw KiamHo's brown beauty of a Phantom 200 today, cruising past Woodlands Road. I wanted to follow it, tailgate it and lick it if i had the chance, but i was on the way to school. It was a wonderful sight! So envious but fuck it.

[Nicole] I'm sorry, what '3 topics' are you talking about?
[Edil] Which practical stage are you at now?
[Joyce] Aye, why didn't you attend school today? I drew you! Grr!
[Cady] Hey~ No problem. I'm not being a bad classmate lah, just that, i feel that we shall never let ourselves get kicked around and do things solely by the 'nice guy' way. But of course, it's just how i think. Hope things get better. Anytime you want to approach me regarding those stuff again, Operatory 13!
[All] Thank you for coming in here! Booyakasha!

In death's embrace.

2006-03-17T11:38:00.000+08:00

My old man over my dad's side has left us today morning, at 2.30am.

Twisted tales of events have happened lately and my mind's not resting at all. DrHema was kind enough to let us have today free after 4 torturing days of IDEAS training. Was supposed to set the tempo up for projects today, but i guess it's just one of those days where things can't happen.

[TagBoard Replies]
[Ijah] Even if you're in NYP, you won't see me often.. I'll be there like, only once or twice a week.
[Fizo & Hilmie] Rohman's riding what, exactly? I heard it's a Harley but i strongly doubt so, perhaps maybe a Steed or some sort. It's not a Phantom, right?
[Cady] Yea... Thanks..
[Edil] You're taking lessons too? Where?
[48] Saper nie eh. When to go rounding? Would love to, especially Johore where i'll need the company, but not anytime around now. Maybe late May.
[Tea] To pass is nothing... It's the part about getting a bike that's full of emotions. Thanks anyway!
[Kelly] Lola's gonna get really mad.
[Enemiko] Thanks, i think the saddles are cool too. About the tees, i'm interested in 3 designs but i'm only reloaded with moolah on the 12th of April.
[Carmen] 35 minutes, seemed like half a day huh.
[All] Thanks for visiting and tagging :) Ride and drive safely, a green horn's on the road.

Cairnhill!!

2006-03-12T23:47:00.000+08:00

Crimson. Right after cleaning and polishing, last night.
Rosemary red in colour. Figured it's a custom paintjob. Hence, the only one in Singapore ;)

Cosily tucked in beside the door of my house.

The engine's great.
Mileage's ridiculously low for an FQ plate.
Went for a rideabout this afternoon. Got lost unintentionally twice. Rode past Orchard. Feels weird! Studied some expressways and the vehicle behavioural patterns. Realised my cruising speed's at 120km/h (hot SP engine!). Will go lower.
The box is going to be removed. Replacing them with my lovely Givi SaddleBags.

The roads aren't all that clean. The internals where i thoroughly washed became dirty again. Hahaha.

Lucky week!!!

2006-03-09T21:43:00.000+08:00

My Lola will be off to attachment soon, at Phillips. Hope the company really makes things better.

2 straight days at NDC for the first time ever. It doesn't feel good at all, time moves slowly and my tummy ached (for the loo and for food). One thing for sure, though, it has really made me learn a lot.

Tough day.

2006-03-07T22:27:00.000+08:00

Today's attachment at HPB was the most difficult for me, so far.
I mean it! My first patient was from the Common Pool side. He was apprehensive and had to sit on top of his mother, on the dental chair. I felt uncomfortable, stressed and potentially beaten but i felt great after successfully completing the procedures needed.

So after that uneasy encounter, i thought it was the end.
My next patient was a crying machine! She began crying once she entered the clinic. Had to coax and calm her down, took all the patience i have and used it. In the end, she was a joyful kid, grinning from ear to ear, looking forward to her next appointment. It felt superb.
Of course, all of these would not have been possible without the help of my assistant, Gaithiri.

Watched Big Momma 2 with darla Lola yesterday. Predicted it to be a crappy one and it turned out to be just that, but heck, i needed a break!

The Research Methods test yesterday morning wasn't -that- much of a breeze. I hope to get at least a B.

Downstream... Not again!

2006-03-03T23:18:00.000+08:00

Man, my optimism level has dropped again. This sucks. I need more faith.

The meeting with the directors was just the same as predicted. 3 out of 29 topics covered are accepted. The others? Thrown back into our faces, of course! Spoke to DrBryan and he took down several points. Thank you again, Wendy, for your work :) The replies, if not heard from DrHema, will be by me.

Tomorrow's Diego Forlan's ex-numeric in United's colours.
Running out of moolah. Hope time's more worth than money.

[Keith] That's a funny suggestion. Hahaha. FuTian suggested Crimson. I like that name.
[Mas] She has so much free time.

Problem soft.

2006-02-28T23:57:00.000+08:00

My researches on beloved 400CC machines are deviating me off school work, like, totally!!! Anyway, guys, keep them RED words coming! Although i felt annoyed with Keith's (HAH..), it was an all round good effort and i appreciate the help. Fizo's 'TrailBlazer' and 'FlameRacer' got me laughing my socks off, but i wasn't wearing any socks, so it was probably threatening to rip my feet away but i got lucky.

Unit 13 of HPB received a new Ultrasonic machine today. It's like getting a new toy! Joy to Gaithiri and i! I think i deserve it too, been jinxed enough already. I held it's official start-off ceremony and woo... No leaks.

Going to miss NDC (again) tomorrow, as i'll be having the Annual SHS Meeting with the board of Directors and other few fellow course representatives. Hope most of what we say will be brought forward instead of thrown back into our faces like how it was last year. I hate missing NDC. I want to keep my patients badly! I do not have favouritisms (despite the thing about the Nepalese and i) but i do have a Blacklist. Hope tomorrow's scheduled patient is the sole bugger in that particular list.

[Gad] Hey, saw you too! So it WAS you. I gave a 2nd glance as the first one was a mere "Hey, just another tudung kid." Then i was thinking, "Wasn't that Gad?" but you like totally sprinted far away already.
[Mas] Ling? Hahaha. Spelling was based on how i thought it was pronounced.

On the plus side.

I've been thinking positively about almost everything now. I guess my mind's really cleared off any trailing issues.

I can't wait for the 12th of March! Not only because it's pay day, it's also going to be the debut day i bring out my red devil! Guys, i need suggestions on a nickname - Anything that sparks when you think of the color RED. Post them on my tagboard, thanks! Will appreciate your efforts.

A lot of items are put up for sale online today. I need the finance for security reasons.

Oh, and also, ManUtd's the Carling Cup winners! Won with style, 4-0. I feel sorry for Ruud but he's got his chances in the Premiership. United!

Easy amusement.

2006-02-24T23:26:00.000+08:00

Went to the PUB Flouridation Plant with DT. Extremely boring but i managed to stay awake. The part that relates to our job scope lasted a mere 12 minutes while we were there for close to 2 hours. The jokes made about the shiny tiles and some of the girls' short skirts were funny.

I find it difficult to understand why i got easily amused by this group of Secondary School kids (who i believe came from Fajar Sec) who acted out a mini-sketch, filmed it and uploaded it onto the net. Their humour was spontaneous and funny to me. It was about the Bangladeshis (acted by 2 Indian guys) fighting for equal rights in Singapore, and to challenge them were 2 Malays. In between them was a judge. It all happened in the classroom, while the rest of the classmates laughed at their jokes and their teacher was clearly missing.

I'm overworked and i have sleeping debts to pay.

I'm a MULLET!

2006-02-23T22:25:00.000+08:00

It was a wonderful experience, where i met friendly strangers turned into friends. Today morning was the best, when almost all of those strangers-friends gathered and went through the obstacles with me. The adrenaline gushed through our veins while we freaked out mean laugh-out-loud jokes. Unfortunately, i managed to go through but none of them did. Hence, it was my final attendance there. I'm going to look back at this experience as something i'll cherish, yet forgettable.

What the hell am i supposed to mean.

Anyway, rushed off to Leng Kwang Home. Was late and not in uniform. Perspiring like a Gatorade model. Got very interested in the art of denture making.

Then i had the impulse of going for a crazy new hairstyle, and i'm a bloody mullet now!!! Haha!!! But, with a fringe. Feels good to be a mullet!

Silence is easy.

2006-02-16T21:47:00.000+08:00

Been doing lots of thinking and planning. Time's running out and i might have to give up soccer for at least half a year. It sucks. It's been awhile since i visited my dad's place. The guilt is tremendous, yet i have no time to do so.

To the curious DT-mates involved: Apologies for going against my word. I won't be revealing it until like, maybe the end of the semester. It's really nothing anyway, very unrelated to us; so why not we just think about our assignments huh? :)

Was asked to lower the volume of my MP3 player in the MRT, today morning while on the way to HPB - by a bugger who was reading comics! Hah. So i changed from my Yngwie playlist to Bjork. He still made stupid faces and alighted at the next stop.

Lola gave me a cute teddy and Renoma's limited edition red-top briefs for our previous anniversary. Got to say, the undies are the absolute greatest. Been awhile since i met her too...

[Tagboard Replies]
[Kelly] I do hear that a lot. Guess i won't go with what's going against myself.
[Ijah] Welcomes :>
[Nana] I don't usually do that often nowadays. It's okay, you need not tell me, sooner or later i will find out somehow.
[Mastura] 3 days MC huh? Taking opportunity eh. Hahaha.
[Cady] Hi bestie. You smoke huh? You wanted some of my Fisherman candy.
[All] Thank you for tagging. It's one of those little things i devote my 4 minutes of free time to check out.

O Levels.

2006-02-10T23:10:00.000+08:00

O' Level results are out today. So far, i've heard no hoorays. Congratulations for those of you who did well. For those who didn't do well, it's not the end of the road. Cuz, i'm thinking of bringing the family to visit y'all there.

My cute grandma has been calling home and asking if i'm alright, after the blood-vomitting incident.

I'm so squeezed up right now. Not to mention, pissed with how silly some people (or specifically, someone) with such high power can be so stupid, ridiculous and opaque. Things are barely honest now.
Even Mastura's report on the NYP Course Guide Book is moderated, to a huge extent.
Heard that, everyone? NYP's Diploma in Dental Therapy page in the Guide Book was by Mastura, but they moderated her actual work to become so positively enthusiastic, so oh-this-course-is-the-bomb! They made her seem like a fool. Shall keep my other thoughts to myself.

Watched Pesta Pesta Pesta on Suria. The crowd, prolly mainly fucking Mat Reps, were shouting and taunting curses at the performers when the artistes acted as Chinese entertainers and spoke in Mandarin. Their words so sharp and harsh. I won't point the finger at the Holocauster or any article-happy anti-Malay racists. We Malays are against ourselves more than any other races... Think wider if you haven't, and soon enough you'll realize it. It's just one of the reasons why i'm so embarassed of my own race.

Right back on track.

2006-02-06T23:07:00.000+08:00

First of all, thanks to all Taggers for your well-wishings :)
They helped me a lot with the recovery process and i can deem myself a hundred percent right now.

Especially Bibi. Whoever you are, if you prefer to stay anonymous, you are free to. I'd just like to thank you for your sincere advice and for putting that extra amount of effort to help me.

I feel that a bucketfull of stress and heavy thoughts dropped today.

Carmen humoured the whole class today. Possibly the joke of the year. I couldn't control my laughter and exceeded the laughing limit. Yusri was struggling to stop too. Sorry yah, no offence. Fantastic incident though, helped us through the rest of the lesson.

I need a cash reloan. My parents can't get it for me due to economical reasons. Whoever knows where you can get it with not much criterias to fill? I need $5000.

[Ijah] The cream was super cold, froze me from bottom-up. The finger sensation was weird and i won't want that happening ever again. If you're still curious, get fresh milk and gulp down a litre within an hour.

Bleeding through.

2006-02-03T23:46:00.000+08:00

Been a hectic year so far. I've been bottling up more matters than i even thought existed within me. It all overflowed yesterday morning, when i threw up undigested food from the previous night, followed by fresh blood diluted with gastric juice. Stained the toilet red badly. Felt dizzy and got worried. Went to the Polyclinic and was given the most available doctor there, and even then, the compromised waiting time got me so restless, i felt like i appeared to be mentally challenged. Sitting down and standing up at that time, be it leaning on a wall or not, were the most uncomfortable tasks.

Was referred to TanTockSeng Hospital's A&E, whereby i was treated as one of the more-urgent matters. Consultation fee there was a whopping $70. The female doctor told me the cause of the presence of blood was undetermined as i do not show key signs and symptoms. I'm too young to have a terrible condition anyway, she claimed. She gave me a jab to reduce gag-reflexes, and shoved her finger up my boot with ice-cold cream for the diarrhoea my condition's been accompanied by.
Had a 1-day MC.

Had high fever in the evening, and it extended till the next morning, today. Went to a private clinic whereby the doctor claims that the blood was prolly due to abrasion of the stomach/intestinal walls due to excessive gagging. The scar produced then caused opportunistic viral infections which caused my fever. Had 2-days MC. Told Julie i will be absent for NDC tomorrow, but at the same time, would like to keep my booked patient. Hope she does her best.

Did i miss out a lot in school?

Thank you, Dream Theater.

2006-01-29T15:08:00.000+08:00

Before i start with Dream Theater's gig, i just want to let everyone know i got only 2 demerit points but failed my test because the stupid car in front of me hit the breaks just after a left turn at a cross junction, causing me to stop at the yellow box.

Went to the Indoor Stadium just on time. Planned to reach earlier but Keith and i waited for WanDope and cabs at Aljunied were fully hired. So WanDope's friend, Shane, sped his taxi and fetched us there. As we reached, there was a long queue behind the entrance as security was tight. We walked up slowly and they opened another gate... We were the first to go in! Damn, we skipped a whole line of bodies. Checked out the merchandise booth and was disappointed that the tees were sold out.
Went in, checked out our seats, went back out to chill, and then in again before Dream Theater started jamming.

Everyone got off their seats and rushed to the front of their respective sectors. Seriously, the organisers clearly didn't know what rock concerts are. Who the hell sits down?

The performances were unexplainable. Wanted to cry. No mistakes whatsoever. The band was very appreciative of the crowd, kept mentioning 'Singapore' (which made us all weeping), didn't compromise any part of their humble showmanship and rocked the house. The vocalist didn't screw up one bit (unlike what i expected, because singing the genre live is way difficult). In fact, he sounded better.
WanDope, Keith, Shane and i were at the front of our sector and rocked the enclosure. The crowd behind us were great and we headbanged together.

Some of us took picture and videos. The organisers disallowed it and i was busted. Submitted my camera to the lockers and i continued to rock on. WanDope used his camera and got several shots. Click here if you want to see our pictures for the night. Pictures courtesy of WanDope.

It was one of the best things that happened in my life. I will never forget that night. Thank you, Dream Theater.

Dream Theater tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-01-26T21:28:00.000+08:00

I can't believe it!!!
The day has finally come!!!
Feels like a dream.
The exciting feeling makes me want to pee!

Dream Theater's coming to Singapore and i'm going to catch them live!!! HAHAHA!!!
Will be going with Keith and Wandope. Will be cleaning up my room before that as Saturday will be packed with family bodies and they'll be staying overnight as well, after the barbecue. How nice, watch soccer with grandma and all.

Sorry, too hyped. Dream Theater!!! Hahaha!!!
Will post pictures!

[Ijah] Sorry, sold already =( Might be selling my ZenMicro 5GB Black somewhen in April though. Hee.
[Joyce] Will link you up on Sunday, okay? Very very busy right now, sorry! :)

COMEBACK.

2006-01-24T22:04:00.000+08:00

I am kind of back, after a long moment of trying to find myself out. It hasn't been an easy phase since the last time i posted an entry here. Everything's toppling over me and i've took effort in catching my priorities from their fall, while letting go those which mean lesser to me. Made several sacrfices, some of which are difficult decisions. Turned down a dream which was starting to be true and as hard as it was for me to make that decision, i feel like it's exactly what i need.

Devil thoughts and interferences screw me up, while Lola, family and friends make me smile.

I have a line-up of events happening soon, and i hope they happen big-time. CNY break is awesome, i love it when they steal the calendar like that!

Just some highlights:

27th Jan - Dream Theater's 20th Anny Tour LIVE at Indoor Stadium!
I can't wait!!! I'm caught in a web!!!
It's also my stepdad's birthday but hey, birthdays happen every year.
28th Jan - My family tree barbecue!
I'm glad we never ever stopped our barbecueing tradition.

And of course, Ole's 20 is approaching like a tidal wave. I'm running out of ideas... Without money, you can't buy shit.

Till then, i'm so sorry for my absence.
Those who curiously/concerningly asked of my condition, i really appreciate your approach and i'm kind of touched in a way :)
To those who kept saying my blog's dusty/boring/oh-you-never-update, i'll do my best not to disappoint, okay.

I think i'm going to grave out a new layout during the CNY break.
You think?

Down with the sickness (Part II)

2006-01-10T23:25:00.000+08:00

I'm getting sicker since i last blogged. Having flu, asthma, dry coughs, high fever and severe diarrhoea.

Missed the whole Raya today, stayed at home to nurse my sick ass. Didn't have appetite and ate nothing but a slice of bread, paracetemols and ultracarbons. For those not in the know, Ultracarbons are charcoal, and are taken when people have diarrhoea. It was hard trying not to crap in my pants.

Dad was busy cutting sheep legs in the evening. The skin and fur still attached. I vomitted.

Going to send my sister to NDC tomorrow for a mini-operation, which involves an incision of a papillary mucocele on her lower lingual lip. Hope it goes well.

Selamat Hari Rayer you all.

Down with the sickness.

2006-01-05T21:59:00.000+08:00

I'm ill. Down with flu (not a common cold but a flu) and coughs. I feel like rubbing my laryngeal walls with pumice slurry and scrub them hard. Missed NDC yesterday due to it too.

This semester's going to be one hell of a nightmare. Timetable's unreasonable. DrHema's going to drive through her continuous hours with us and i wonder if we can survive.

Been eating very little lately.

Happy New 2006!!!

2006-01-01T22:33:00.000+08:00

Had a simple celebration for the New Year with Lola. It really was worth missing ManUtd's match. She groomed to the occasion and i was jaw-dropped for the entire time i was out with her. She says it's meant to be a surprise.

Did my best to resist any temptations.
Went for lunch at Marina Square and checked out some of their latest extensions. Then, headed to Esplanade to ridiculously walk through the packed crowd and make our way to the MRT station. Headed to Woodlands as it'll be more convenient for Lola's travel back home. Besides, her family's there too. FYI, there's a Countdown Party beside Causeway Point too (it also features a foam party). Of course, we were'nt part of those shit and just laid back with her family.

Few minutes before the countdown.
We headed to the 2nd floor of a multi-storey carpark to witness the party from a higher ground.

As you can see, the attendance in the actual party was low. Those kids were dancing around in mud! Disgusting. Mud under the layers of foam.
The party host did his best during the countdown. People yelled "Happy New Year" very half-heartedly (precisely why i didn't add any exclamation points) and the whole awaited countdown became a huge disappointment. Lola and i were the loudest, if not the only ones.

There was a high number of very young Mats and Minahs. The cops weren't really doing their jobs either. So many underaged smokers all over the place and they ignored them.
So there was a certain degree of regret making the turn away from Esplanade but we knew convenience was key, last night. Wasn't fun celebrating, but it was fun [place mushy stuff here].
So yes, Happy New Year!

Dream Theater 20th Anniversary Tour!!!

2005-12-28T20:35:00.000+08:00

Oh yeah!!!
I'm going to Dream Theater's concert January next year!!!! YEAH!!!!
It excites me like, more than getting a bike.
Those who are going, contact Keith or myself, we go together and rock the joint.

DrYong's last day was today, apologies for the false hope.

The year is ending and i've never felt like i need to rush for time like this. The feeling is horrible. BBDC guys are progressing really fast too, and it adds to the frustration.

Doing rather well in HPB, could've been better if not for my short attention span. Will be IPCO tomorrow, will be bug the aunties to reveal what they've been gossipping about me and my friendly little goatee.

[Tagboard Replies]
[Cady] I never ever thought you'd say 'motherfucking'. Haha. Anyway, he's gone tomorrow onwards... Your luck i guess :) *KingKong laughter*
[Liza] You won't be nice if you're in my position, trust me! I did my best already, haa!
[Fizo] Haha, we nearly encountered a sequel the other weekend.
[Iskandar] What if a chimp likes you? You think positive but her droopy breasts kept appearing in your thoughts, especially when you're trying to eat.
[Kelly] Don't rush too much in your work okay :)
[Greme] Hence, you are handsome too. Haha, is your patient scheduled for another upcoming appointment? Anyway, the model-cannot-be-short thing earlier today kept tickling me. Good one.
[Ijah] I got it online... You still owe me chocolates!
[All] Thanks for tagging okay! We pierce into the new year alongside each other!

Tis the season to be jolly.

2005-12-25T22:36:00.000+08:00

Post is long. Tag replies will appear in the next entry.

DrYong won't be supervising us anymore for this week. Some of us are sighing with relief, including me, honestly. But somehow, i like him a lot more than MrTorusPalatinus, DrChang.

Had a barbecue with my family to 'celebrate' Christmas and also Dani's birthday. I felt kind of disappointed i got full too early but mum said i've eaten a lot already at that point of time and it wasn't a surprise.

If you're wondering, those brown balls beside the corn are baby potatoes. Super fast to cook! Very convenient.

----

I regret not blogging about my past few days, which includes Tami's Christmas party at her place, on the 23rd. It was okay i guess, i pity Tami for being so clueless, hahah! Thanks again for the invitation, the food rocks.

We played a few games. I won Musical Chair, which starred Lola and i in the finals! How romantic! But i ungentlemanly beat her to it... She was a real challenge though.

----

Spent Christmas Eve with Lola, shopping at town. Wasn't as packed as i expected, but the crowd kept coming in the later it got. Lesser people spraying snow. Those who were doing so were either avoided, shoved away or yelled at. Christmas spirit was everywhere.

Went back to chill at her hometown and snapped a few pictures. Didn't know it was set to a zoom and i thought the picture turned out brilliant.

----

So yes, that's an update on how my week's gone.
Soccerwise, had a match with MJ against some Ubi team. Thrashed them 7-0. We agreed they didn't deserve that kind of beating since they really are a good side. I scored 2, missed 3 one-on-ones and nearly blew my first goal away. Felt that i was a frustrating teammate to the players. Sorry guys!

Match against some ex-OP team with Mayon yesterday. Scored 2 again, won 8-5. My waist at the right region hurts like shit now, and i'm clueless as of it's reason.

----

Merry Christmas!!!

Bye bitch.

2005-12-21T21:26:00.000+08:00

How will you guys feel if your new 22 year old maid has a crush on you? What's worse is the fact that she looks half-Mongolised plus a pinch of PotatoMan. Mine kickstarted her job with us for about a month ago, and she stinks in everything she does. The weird thing for me is - Mum told me the maid told my Sister-in-law she has a crush on me. Motherfucker! Can you imagine how uncomfortable i feel at home? Plus, to think she also handles my undies.

I'm so glad my parents gave up on giving her chances and figured it's time for her to fuck off. She's leaving tomorrow morning and i feel so good about it.

My room's a mess. Mum kept complaining but dad came into my defence and said if i were to keep it clean and tidy every minute, i'd be a bloody fag. Hah! I'll clean my room on a free weekend.

DrYong's made FuTian bottle up frustrations, especially today. It's funny when people complain about him. Caught Yusri doing something nobody expects him to today. He was damn embarrassed, haha. Thanks for the chocolates, Kelly! And Julie!

King Kong!

2005-12-20T21:33:00.000+08:00

Watched King Kong on Saturday, managed to book the best seats for the night. The kids present behaved well. The movie was excellent. I'll rate it 10/10, might moderate it after watching it again somewhen but i'll stick strongly to it for now. Go watch it now!

2 more hurdles and i'm off with 2 wheels on the roads of Singapore.

HPB's going rather fine. DrYong's piercing words managed to find some of the girls' emotional weak spots. I don't know about you people... But i believe Gaithiri and Joyce's positive outlook to his mentorship is very admirable and shall be followed.

Last but surely not the least,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CADY!!!

Angel pumping gas.

2005-12-14T23:55:00.000+08:00

DrYong has been terrorising our units at HPB eversince he appeared in the supervising scene. His words have pierced many. We can't always escape him though, so keep your buckles ready and enjoy the bumpy course healthily.

Cady's now known as Patricia.

I've been gaining weight.

[Tagboard Replies]
[Enemiko] No, Singapore does not do that, although the procedure is possible. Won't last long though.
[Liza] :P
[Greme] But yours isn't normal at all can. About that Indian lady/guy, i think you shall fix your eyes on it too =)

Coffee latte.

2005-12-11T00:16:00.000+08:00

Just got back from GV Marina and the Esplanade. Went out in the early evening when it was pouring like mad. Imagine Singapore snowing to that extent. Watched Aeonflux. 5.5/10 for me, of which 1.5 points is given because Charlize is hot like usual.

Lola's hotter ;)

Fooled around with her like last time. I'm making sure this hectic month will not affect us.

Had a rather splendid (yet tiring) week at HPB. Sure had fun yakking away crap with the rest of the DT posse. Trying to anticipate what difference DrYong's presence next week onwards will affect our slacking sessions.

I would like everyone to know that Cady's full name now is:
Cady Gen Geraldine Ho Cui Yun Lady Patrick Spiderman.

Pearline has a Torus Palatinus which looks like the opposite side of a female's bum. And she thought it was normal.. What nerve.

[Tagboard Replies]
[Liza] Haha, you people deserve a long break anyway... Good things are to come :)
[Keith] Of course you'll be, it only takes 1 time for me to say it. Anyway, ManUtd out of Europe, ahahhh... Push them to Asia.
[Cady] AND LOOK AT THE SHAPE OF IT!!!
[Fizo] The true fan will always stick by the club, win or lose, jeer or cheer. Let's forget about that lame league and welcome Ole back!
[Pearline] Okay, eyes to myself. Because i can and i will, hur =P
[Ijah] For real?! Haha... Your luck then! No need to worry about calories.
[All] Happy Holidays, holidaying people :)
