Happy New year's Eve

Just when life is getting so relaxing and i drown myself in my own world everyday, it's time for a new year. It's time to burst my imagination bubble and wake up to reality.

But i'm not ready.

today's already new year's eve and in less than 24 hours, we will usher in the new year! Can you ever believe it.

Until today, i shamefully say i havent done my homework and i havent pack my stuff other than my clothes. While everyone is busy picking up their pens and pencils, i'm still doing what, blogging.

Arh, i'm really quite disappointed with myself cause our teacher kept emphasizing how little time we have left but i still insist on doing nothing.(although some seniors say we should really enjoy this holiday cause next year will be tiring and i agree) I shall be a mugger next year.

Before that, i need a pair of thick black plastic rimmed spectacles, messy hair, thick book, trolley bag and a hand carry file. Then i will chop the front seats everyday. I need to change new image. Then i will be secretly happy when people call me mugger but must pretend to be modest. Oh must ask for tutorials 3 pieces in advance, hog the consultation room and greet teachers with a 90 degress traditional bow. Hm, that should be it. Oh i missed out making friends with librarians.

Dont stop me from evolving myself ok, i'm going to do that. Who want to compete with me in the mugger-wannabe race, starting from next year, everything you've done this year not counted.

this year has been long with orientation, performances and stuff. Plus Pw. I'm glad i've gone through everything rather decently i think.

But 2005, have u been good? I keep asking myself this question but the answer is always hesitant. I wouldnt say excellent, but bearable. And i really hope i wont say the same thing next year this time. 2006, please be good! I'm looking forward to a good, smooth sailing year ahead.

It's the year of the dog next year! It's pepsi's year! Hope pepsi can bring us better luck next year but i must make sure he doesnt look too much like a cat.

Oh happy new year's eve everyone, are you all going for countdown? I'm going to be loser and stay at home tmr. I dont want to squeeze in the crowd on new year's eve.

How was cOda?

That marks the last performance for me in 2005. Nothing special, just felt like mentioning.

Somewhere along this year, i lost my sense of urgency . Everything went so slowwly. I was taking my own sweet time and i actually left the house at 1.45pm to take 156 which takes 1hr to school and guess what time we were suppose to meet? 2pm. Yah, that's me.

So,

new resolution for 2006: STOP BEING IRRITATING AND BE PUNCTUAL.

So no worries everyone, i'm going to be really punctual. Trust me ok? (but i know only glen is gullible enough to believe, sigh)

Thank god joy's mum is giving eunice a lift so i hitched a hike and too the car together.

Btw all of you can call Joy Xiao Qiang now cause she has this uncanny resemblance to cockroaches. Bu pa bu pa ok, mai-ya HEEE mai ya HOOOO...

JUST JOKING LAH.

I realised everyone was wearing clothes in weird combinations. Like black t shirt, skirt, black stocking and white shoe. That's one.

Then shuyi wore a shirt with 2 pockets at her chest, looking totally like a, hunter.

Ok i shall stop it, later my mouth grow one mole. Moles are sexy ok, especially the big 3D moles. Chrissie has one on the edge of her lips, HAHAHAH! Oh liching has one below her nose, but tt one is not as ideal as it could be cause everytime she takes a photo, the mole looks like a PiSai.

Backstage was fun cause all we did was taking photos. Tsk tsk, people nowadays, so narcissistic.
But too bad Orlando's still under repair so i have no photos! And everyone's lazy to upload the photos, see how impt i am on days like this.

And i must really say chrissie makes a fantastic clubber. Woah, u should see the way she led in the backstage dance and how she did the ostrich posture dance after glen. Marvellous!

I spent the entire night laughing, great fun! You know sometimes it's the people around you who makes things so much more enjoyable when you dread it. Thank you everyone who made band such a fun place to be, afterall.

I really had a good break this holiday. Too good.

For example today, i spent the entire day, Eating (amos cookies), Watching Tv, Sleeping.

I think if i follow this cycle, i can grow fat. Cause everytime i eat, i feel sleeeepy so i sleep and when i wake up, i feeel hungry and i eat. So this cycle repeats itself for the entire day and i'm going to grow fat people! HOORAY! I'm going to break the 100kg MARK REAL SOON ALRIGHT! WATCH OUT I CAN BANG YOU OFF THE GROUND SOON! WOO HOOO!

Aiyah.

Wake up lah.

12/28/2005

Recently, i've been sleeping a lot. I spend almost half of everyday on the bed. But you really cannot blame me cause the weather's reeeeaaaalllllyyyy gooood. Now repeat after me,

rreeeeeaaaalllly goood.

Yah, i'm really impressed with the weather. It's this cool blue weather every morning and we hardly get to experience it in this warm tropical country. Sometimes i wonder if the angmoh people can actually stand the heat.

Anyway i need to replenish as much sleep as possible before school reopens in a shocking week's time! ARH! I CANT BELIEVE IT. School's reopening for real!

I cannot say i'm ready for school because...because... i havent touched my work! Now i can imagine those stupid geeky people rubbing their hands gleefully at me, laughing at how slack am i and how ahead they are.

In my opinion, having a good break is most important. Period.

You know, i have this secret to say. I really dont know why but i feel very good and blessed when i'm in bed. What?! You say i siao? Yah, actually i agree, i'm siao. Then especially when Pepsi jump on the bed and snuggle beside me and act cute each morning, i feel even better.

I dont feel this everytime, just these few days cause of the supremely good weather. And this weather makes me dream of good dreams. I like dreaming, do u? Feels good isnt it? Cause no matter what you do, wake up and everything's gone. Just that day, i dreamt i went to stayover at an indian family's house and it was during the tsunami period. What happens after tt i really cannot remember, i dont want to anyway.

Tomorrow's my band concert coda at VCH. No one's interested in watching and i dont really dare to promote my tickets because i know no one can truly appreciate band music and sit through the 2.5 hours without dozing off. Admit it! Even i cant stand band music sometimes. So i dont want to waste people's money and blame me for making them paying 10 bucks to sleep in VCH. I'll feel bad too.

Anyway i bought a storage thing ( i dont know how to describe lah!) from IKEA. And i just sorted out all my clothing in the cupboard like polo tees, tshirts, bermudas.. I think i'm really organised. I'm going to repaint my slumpy room and turn it into a pleasant blue personal space for 2006! But i have too many things and am considering giving up the television cause it takes up quite a lot of space and the wires are making the place look messy.

Alright, just short update cause i suddenly felt like blogging just now at such an ungodly hour.

Orlando's going to be sent for repair and i hope it isnt too expensive. So for now, no camera for pics!

Goodnight buddy bear.

Did you know that...

Prawns eat fishcake?

I went Prawning today with my sister while her husband went fishing. We went alllll the way to Pasir Ris to Prawn and that place really sucks.

It was chaojiwudi (my latest fav blog word) expensive and for 4 entire hours, i spent sun tanning.

We paid $43.50 for 4 hours of prawning and guess how many prawns we caught leh?

freakin

teeny

weeny

small

prawns.

It was the worst Prawning session i have ever been to. The pond is very small and it's expensive! But thank god for a goodhearted stranger who gave us 3 prawns cause they didnt know what to do with 3 pathetic prawnies. That makes our grand total of prawns to be 5! WOOHOO!

5 prawns leh! And if you spend a bit of brain calculating, each prawn costs $8.

You know out of the 2 miserable prawns we caught right, one was caught accidentally when my sister hooked it's legs. I think it's that unlucky prawn which jinxed the entire thing. But it's not just us because when i look around, everyone's the same.

And they still dare to do what school holiday promotions where you can get cash rebate if u fished a prawn with a tagged tail. I mean, helllloooo it's already a problem fishing up the prawns, how to still go and choose prawns with the idiotic tagged tail.

But i realise why is it so difficult to fish out the prawns.

Reason 1 : Cannot Use FISHCAKE as bait.

I grow so big first time hear use fish cake to prawn. And the fish cake is chao sng one can.

It's the oily fried fish cake leh, where got prawns eat? But actually they do and the problem is the fishcake snap very easily so it's super easy to lose the prawn once it bites onto the fishcake.

That's why i missed 3453785748 prawns.

Reason 2: They planted small fishes inside the pond

Wa lao eh.

I found out that when i saw people fishing up fishesAnd those fishes eat up our fishcakes bait !

Arh, it was really quite waste time waste money. But i got a tan. haha.

So in the end when i got home, my mum boiled the live prawns and gulp, gone! hahaha the 5 pathetic prawns gone in a sec. Actually it's quite cruel to see the prawns getting cooked especially when half is cooked and half is alive because the water level not high enough..

I should have went over to the SURE CATCH pond instead.

Oh oh it's 11pm now! I need to watch Grey's Anatomy on your favourite home channel, 5.

Merry Christmas, officially

I really have to say this,

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

The day has finally arrived! I'm blogging this, reporting live at 12 midnight, welcoming the arrival of Christmas 2005 ! WOOHOO~!

But i just feel that singapore isnt doing enough to celebrate christmas! The atmosphere is rather lousy and other than Orchard road, nowhere else has the mood actually. Aiyah, i mean we cant blame anyone cause everyone's lazy, even i am lazy to set up the christmas tree this year, ha!

Just now, my family (excluding my father) went over to my sister's house for a christmas eve dinner and it was really enjoyable. How i wish i can have more of this every christmas. My sister prepared steak and lambchop( this one not very nice), salad, meshed potatoes and sauteed mushrooms..since when did she learn how to cook so many things! And she really put in a lot of effort decorating the dining table, every steak had a mini santa on it and there were candles, pines etc.

But hor, we all didnt say grace! Hahaha.. no i did lah.

Arh, it was really warm. And i got another christmas present from my eldest sister! Hahah, she's really a great sister, not because she always buy me presents.. I'm not that materialistic. She bought me a suave blue tennis racket! And something else( wrapped up, i shall not open it yet until BOXING DAY.) Oh she gave everyone a coffee bean voucher too!

I'm really happy, just for this while. I have to admit there's been quite a number of things bugging me and i'm trying really hard to just delete them off my mind. It's christmas afterall, i want to enjoy myself.

This year i feel really quite guilty for not writing christmas cards and i feel even more guilty when i receive xmas cards from pple.

So let me take this opportunity to show my appreciation.

The following portion is people-specific, you can dont read if you dont want to. Just scroll all the way until further instructions.

XMAS CARD 1 : THANKS JOY

Wah, very nice right! Handmade one and it looks really neat, even my mum says so when she saw it. Plus there was a very pleasant message inside, thanks a lot Joy! It's really very nice. Have a blessed Christmas this year and every year ahead. You have been a very nice person and with all the good karma you've accumulated, everything's going to be smooth sailing!

XMAS CARD 2: THANKS MICH KOO

Michelle, thanks for being such a wonderful classmate and friend. I think without you i wouldnt be in rj at all and also thanks for making class-life so much more enriching and enjoyable. We really enjoy laughing at aunty may although she's always innocent, hahaha! And ms wee fan club, snack club... God bless you this and every christmas =]

XMAS CARD 3: THANKS WEE

Hahah, another handmade card but it's in Chinese! Have you ever seen a xmas card in chinese? No? Yah i got it! Hahah, even the message inside is in chinese but i'm really bilingual so it's not a problem. The message inside is really crappy cause part of it is directed by me. Anyway, thanks wee for always entertaining all my crap since like sec 3? Hahah! Wish you all the best in the coming year and peace will overwhelm your house.

XMAS CARD 4: THANKS NOVELLA

Novella, my senior in band who lives in clementi too! But now that she has graduated i have no one to share cab with. Nov, thanks for being such a great senior! Really one of the best in band i can say. although i only know you for a year, you have already left a pleasant lasting impression and i appreciate that. May your christmas be always filled with fun and warmth. Enjoy your london trip!
Tze, where is your card arh?

XMAS CARD 5: THANKS SHUMAY

ShuM ! Your card isnt ugly! It's very unique i thought. Thanks for sending xmas card every year! It's been my pleasure and honour to know you and be in such a wonderful class like 4C. It's great organising 4C outings with you, no wonder they're always so successful hor! Hahaha! Yah, here's wishing you an extremely merry christmas and a happy new year!

OK, HERE'S WHERE YOU CAN START READING AGAIN.

To everyone else, i'm wishing you a very blessed christmas this year and every year ahead. It has never been better knowing all of you and thanks for being such nice friends. I really appreciate everyone of you.

Oh, my christmas post is getting abit long and drama but congrats if you managed to read all the way here! I still have more actually!

It's my christmas post, what can you expect?

Now i'm going to blog about my Xmas party yesterday with 4C.

Every year we have 4C christmas party and this year is no exception! this year, shuhui has very kindly allowed us to use her father's office to celebrate. HOW COOL IS THAT!

Her father is the owner of Weeds, a brand of health products, you can visit www.iweeds.com for further information. Hahha just say for fun i know you all cant be bothered.

The place is really cool cause it has a stage with a karaoke system! Hahaha and lots of chairs and what's more, the staff actually helped us blow balloons! See how big shot we are.

All we needed to do is put on some streamers and bring some food.

I brought partay poppers and streamers! All bought in bulk from bangkok!

Our party was really professional cause we had Nora to do photography for us with her 2000 dollars plus SLR camera.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Even her bloody tripod is bigger than mine.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

HAHAHAH! my tripod costs only 1 buck, so the size is also proportional to the price.

I prepared chocolate fondue for the potluck!
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

We dipped almost EVERYTHING inside.

At the end of the day, shu hui's father was supremely generous and gave each of us a bottle of ACNE TREATMENT gel. It's not the sample one ok, it's the real commercial one. I think shuhui must have told him about how langa our faces are.

But it's still practical cause everyone has pimples and this gel is good because it is watery and transparent which means you literally cannot feel anything when you put it on and no smell too! It's called Silent Healer, healing your pimples silently. I HOPE. You want to buy? Ok, you can get it either by telling me you have langa face and need urgent treatment or just go to www.iweeds.com and purchase it online!

WE ALL HAVE SILENT HEARLERS, DO YOU?

Hahaha, a little bit of advertisement but the main point is still,

MERRY CHRISTMAS =]

Orlando's DAMAGED!

Oh benjamin oh benjamin.. why did you do that.

That day i was talking to glen, while busily trying to get a picture of the streets, that my greatest nightmare is to drop my camera, Orlando.

I buy toto 4D also not so zhun can.

TODAY I REALLY DROPPED ORLANDO. Sigh, it just happened in a matter of seconds and when i picked it up with my heart palpilating like mad, i saw a long crack across the 2.5inch LCD screen. My heart ached for awhile while still thinking that it's nothing serious.

Btw Orlando is not your louya 3.2megapixels camera ok.(i didnt mean to ostracise other cameras) He is a 5.0 megapix, 2.5 inch LCD lumix FX 7 ok! A very expensive camera from my sister last year.

Why why why! The worst thing is my warranty ended just a few weeks ago, who can be more suay?

Orlando has served me very well throughout the year and i'm always proud to bring him out. All the pictures you see are from Orlando. Wah, i really cant bear to see that long crack.

Shit shite shit. I dont even have mood to blog about my Xmas Eve eve party i just came back from which was great until i cracked my camera. Really very upsetting.

I'm just hoping the repair isnt too expensive.

All I Want For Christmas - Mariah Carey

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...All I want for Christmas
Is you...

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tightWhat more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You...

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need -
won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking forI just want to see baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my ownMore than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas isYou...

Dear diary,

Dear Diary,

I was fashionably late again. Not that i think being late is cool because i strongly think otherwise. Being late is a seriously, bad habit but as much as i try to avoid that everytime, i cant! I think it just boils down to time managment, nono, i think i sort of know the reason.

Everytime before i go out, i take too long to get my clothes. Let me see, that is level infinity on the hiaow scale. But i only take 5 minutes to comb hair, i bet other people take a longer time than me, so i'm not that bad afterall hor diary?

today, i went to Orchard Road again. I know you are sick of this place cause i am.

I decided to wear until very kua zhang today cause i'm sick of looking like i work there. Later got talent agency come and find me leh? Hahah, you know i'm joking right. And i realise 502, an express bus is really fast! I counted 27 stops but it only takes 20 minutes cause it doesnt stop at most stops and as a result i was really worried it might overshoooooot.

I admit i'm directionally challenged and i wonder how am i going to drive next time. That day i actually alighted at Tanjong Pagar instead of Raffles Place until i realise why raffles mrt become so freaking small. 'Nuff said.

It was a stessful ride cause i cant afford to get lost or else it will really be chaojiwudi embarrassing to ask pple, Where is Heeran arh?

But no worries, i got there, albeit with a lil more walking cause i alighted one stop earlier.

I met up with Tze hui and Novella and Glen, a secret third's meeting, no one's suppose to know and i trust you dont have a mouth right diary? It's a good time to meet when everyone's so relax cause the festive mood all over!

(skip all the mushy stuff)

Tze hui is going to be a NAVAL OFFICER. So those going to army will get to see tzehui commanding. She will sit on those who cant swim and fart at your face if you say her hair looks like hay. So watch out for her, she's a tall,petite, fair woman with a pleasant gua zi lian, hmm, look like Fann Wong in short. In case you all want to know her, i must tell u that i told a big yellow lie.

Tze hui is really a paiseh woman. You know she actually shouted SABRINA HO, the waitress' name. then she really came over and tze was so paiseh she has to pretend to order watermelon when the watermelon was already delivered right in front of the table.

We merely sat there for 3 hours talking, reminiscing about Tzehui's dirty linen. the most memorable incident was prolly the one she fell with a thunderous thud through a hole in the band room. Now you see her now you dont! Those kind of scenario. But i assured tze that no one really saw her but everyone heard her.

Sushi buffet was so filling i skipped dinner. We ate almost 50 plates! Hmm, i'm on my way to growing buffer.

Alright, photos!

this photo was taken by the self timer function and it turns out the best cause when we asked a fatso to help us take, it turned out blur as a slur.

Then we spotted this Pong hair woman and we requested for a photo but her sly cunning friend delibrately came over to make sure we didnt get the photo for free. So she insisted to get Tze number so that she can call tze tonight to sell her some bo liao teen party. must pay $35, siao boh! Tze actually entertained her but she help us take such shit ka lao sai picture. Blur until.. Plus the bloody bright lightboard make my face cannot see.

So the meeting ended there cause everyone has something else on.

I good-heart go and attend a gathering for the camp friends but turned out really pathetic.
But i had ice cream, all part of power programme.

Oh why blogger upload such poor quality photos! The photos are blurred a little, shall switch back to photobucket again.

By the way, stay tuned to my Christmas Special Entry! I've created something really nice for all of you to see.

12/21/2005

Orchard Christmas Tour!

Ok, all couch potatoes, get your lazy bums up!

Let me bring you along for a Orchard Road Christmas Tour!

Oh before that, let me take my assistant glen along too... oh, and Orlando!

The lightings are up again this time of the year and you really shouldnt miss it. Really nice.

But we cannot go around on an empty stomach, so dinner first.

We ate dinner at Pepper Lunch! It's my first time there so this is considered a historical moment ok. Can someone tell me why is it lunch and not dinner? Why cannot call Pepper Meal or something..

There's a lot of sauces to put and the waiter emphasized that must wait for the food to cook first then put the sauce! Not put the sauce when it's cooking cause you might smoke yourself to death. It's true, why you dont believe me?

Anyway, in Pepper Lunch, everything's Beef. (actually they do have a little salmon and chicken).

Looks good hor? Yup, it's really quite nice. Tepanyaki style, i actually like the tao geh.

But i realise they like to squeeze the tables together, so you can always eavesdrop very clearly the next table. Like how we eavesdrop the 2 woman bitching beside..hahah!

Alrighty, stomachs filled. Time to go out to the streets to breathe the christmas atmosphere!

busy sidewalks.

This is the music shelter, everytime you stand underneath it, you can listen to christmas songs, they even have the lyrics hung up beside it! You can sing along lah but dont say i never warn you, you will look siao singing in the middle of the bushes.

I thought this place looks nice.

Outside this place, we saw the kids central actress Kim wakerman and we wanted to disturb her filming by asking her to help us take photos.

There was a few christmas shows on the street too. Now you're seeing an Acapella by Love Acapella. The singer was a super drama queen, machiam she mariah carey.

Further ahead also got another show. This one is by a group of people clad in kacang puteh costumes singing christmas carols. I dont know why this one attracted a larger crowd cause the performace merely consisted of old people singing.

Plus there was an lao enthu man in front clapping as though he is the conductor but i figured he isnt because i saw policeman drag him away. Hahha, no lah, i'm imagining things again.

This escalator is deceiving. It looks very nice and elegant right but when you stupidly go up, YOU CANNOT GO BACK DOWN.

It's a one way ticket to a food court. To go down you have to walk one big round and take a few escalators! If you remember yourself seeing 2 of this escalators, yes you're right but both bring people up only.

But nvm, taking escalator can be a chance to take photo.

When will you ever understand the need for taking photos?

Walking further down the street, just outside Ngee Ann city, there's an exhibition by different cultural groups.

Of course sure have christmas carolling.

Guess who is real and who is fake leh?

Glen says he like the old woman.

But i told him, it's impossible between him and her.

Perhaps i shouldnt have said that,

HE IS MOLESTING A STATUE.

That's more like it.

I think all these people are really fed up cause they have to keep posing for people but no one ever tips them.

Ok, that's the end of benJ duck tours to Orchard Road.

EVERYONE, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

12/19/2005

I TOLD YOU I HAVE A TWIN.

I'm really very free again, how?

When i'm free, i keep eating. I feel like eating ice cream and pao pao cha now.

But i'm too lazy to go out and i decided to show you my twin too!

I really so bo liao

WAAAh. I'm super bored now and I'm super bored i keep blogging. Has been a super duper long time when i keep blogging so many times in succession.

There's nothing much to entertain me now and I'm going to float out of the window soon.

Nothing's on TV except PSC Nite aka Pu Wei Zhi Ye which entertained me a fair bit just now. Every week i watch the singing competition, i feel quite bad for the contestants cause everytime they zhao xia, i dont know to laugh out loud or not cause they're always so enthusiastic. I cant stand those kids who sing as though they machiam shi ge lang song (reciting poem) like that. Then just now there was this fatty who kept dancing when the camera shoots her but i thought look like she's jiggling her fats.

OH MAN. That was seriously funny while the other 2 contestants, standing in line with her gave the bin chow chow black face look. I like the fatty when she was imitating Lin Junjie's song when he did those wOOoo-oo-Oooo constipated sound.

The thing soon ended and i have nothing to do AGAIN. So i very bo liao, walk around the house and i found my TATTOO STICKERS !

I bought those in bangkok for like what, 50 cents only! So CHEEEAAAP. Then i nothing to do so i decided to do myself a big fierce tattoo to ward off evil spirits.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Waha! Scary sia! I am a chao ah beng alr. Tried and tested.

I like my tattoo but i dont dare to show. hahaha! I think i'll hide it below my sleeves.

la li da

It's almost been a month since i last went for band. No, i didnt delibrately skip band! It's just that I have things which i already planned long ago.

So why still bother to go, you may ask, since i've been missing in action for a month? Because i'm a very responsible person and there's a concert coming up which i just found out the date when i received the tickets.

I really hate it when they issue everyone tickets to sell so conveniently. EVERYTIME there's a performance, i receive tickets to sell. Remember bandaid? Although the ticket is only $5, i had a torturous time getting them off. In fact, i didnt manage to sell them off until the very last minute when i placed them at the door counter. And that's because i'm lucky, if not, i'd have to absorb the entire cost of the tickets. What's the meaning of performing when you practise so hard but no one wants to watch and you have to pay for the tickets yourself? Hello, I'm playing FOR a concert, why do i have to resort to absorbing the cost of thee tickets arh? I might as well play in front of the mirror.

THAT'S WHY YOU MUST PUT IN MORE EFFORT AND SELL THE TICKETS!!

It's not as if i didnt put in effort in selling the tickets. I tried so hard to persuade everyone and even created an entire entry to promote the concert, but still? 0 Sales. So i'm really sick of selling tickets but unfortunately again, i end up with 4 tickets which costs $10 EACH and I'm obliged to sell them off. If i dont, i have to absorb $40 from my own pocket and i doubt i will be able to sell them off. so how? I cant afford to absorb the cost, it's 40 dollars hello..

I really dont understand why has this to be the case everytime. Cant they just do more publicity and make people buy the tickets themselves or allow us to get tickets by order? Instead of forcing down 4 tickets into our throats to sell why cant we just try to sell and get tickets only WHEN WE NEED. And the publicity sucks too. Tickets cant go if publicity is so lousy.

Typical Scenario,

Me: Hello jonny, you want to come for CODA?

Jonny: HUH? WHAT CODA? SIMI LAI EH?

Who on earth will know what is CODA you tell me? And so i will have to explain, not that i mind, but...

Me: Coda is our band concert, combined with Raffles Winds, on the 28th, VCH, $10 ....etc

Jonny: Err, no thanks. *shrugs and escapes.

Jonny obviously wont go because CODA is so unheard of, he thinks no one is going and if no one is going, jonny aint going too.

So this cycle continues and i end up wasting my time, effort, breath and absorbing the cost. Thank you.

Season's Greetings!

Christmas is drawing closer and closer! I dont know why but i always look forward to christmas a lot, i think it's the festive mood, buying presents, doing up the christmas tree.. We only get to do all thse once a year right!

Talking about christmas presents, my sister has already long bought all of them so no need for christmas shopping. That's a big burden off my mother. You think what? Buying christmas presents need a lot of money one ok. You see that david gan, spent $30,000 on christmas gifts! You heard it right, 30 000! Maybe i should have worked part-time as a cleaner in his saloon. ARH WHY U ALL NEVER REMIND ME. Nvm, there's always next year right?

By the way people, I LOST 50 DOLLARS. I just realised it when i was talking to my mother about my wallet today. Until now, i still cant make out the reason for the loss of the 50 dollar.

That day, before i rushed out for my camp,

Wait wait, i need to tell you why i was rushing, really funny.

Last sunday, i was sleeping soundly when i was awoken by a phone call from Lili( a camp personel) . Reluctantly, i stretched out my hand to get my phone and forced my eye to open.

When i saw her number, i immediately knew something's wrong and my heart was palpilating like mad while i struggled to press the answer button.

LiLi: eh benjamin, Where are you?

Me: Er..I'm at home

Me:I THOUGHT THE CAMP IS TOMORROW?

LiLi: Aiyo! I also dont know what to do.. ....

When she called, it was 745, the meeting time was 715. At the point, i had not packed my bag.

I jumped out of my bed, hurry change, brush,wash, pack and my mother fetched me all the way to the very ulu marina punggol way, JUST IN TIME for the ferry.

You say I heng ornot?

And you cannot blame me for being blur because usually camp where got start on SUNDAY one you tell me ? It's common sense to think it was monday right. Anyway, what i'm trying to say is, IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

Hahaha, i'm making myself feel better.

OOOOOOOOOk, back to the missing 50 bucks.

Initially my wallet had 100 bucks from my tuition pay long time ago and i told my mum i dont want to bring so much money to camp so i took 50 buck out to her.

But on the day i return home, my wallet only left 5 BUCK! MY GAWD. I DIDNT NOTICE UNTIL YESTERDAY I TAKE TAXI HOME.

I was very ill the last day so i couldnt care less. But i recalled now, i DID have 50 bucks in my wallet and if it is lost because someone in the camp stole it, it would be to my utmost disappointment.

I liked the people a lot and all of them seemed very nice and friendly, i never ever expect anyone to do such a thing and i trusted them so much sometimes i leave my wallet unattended. I really hope it's not anyone of them and it's just due to my misplacement.

Wahhh, heart really ache. 50 bucks leh. Not easy to come by you know.

I'm coughing like mad now. And the plegm refuses to come out. eh..this sucks.. The irritating piece of plegm is sticky,yellow...looks exactly like custard. I cough so hard and nothing ever comes out. If i continue coughing my bronchioles will burst and i'm going to die of suffocation. Gulp. HELP!!!

I feel so drowsy and lazy that i cant get to do anything at all. My work is in a mess i dont ever feel like looking at them of laying my fingers on them. Seeing them makes me sick another way.

So this year's coming to a closure, what do you think? I think i would rate 6.5 out of 10 for this year. Not good, but not too bad either. Too unfocused! I am one lost sheep this year i would say, i pray that next year will be better hor! BETTER BETTER BETTER! I still remember in the beginning of this year, the chinese zodiac thingy said all dragon year people will have a good year.

Pure, organic bullshit!

I am really not looking forward to usher in the new year. I'm happy as it is and i dont want to resume that type of mundane life style again pls! To those people who actually misses school and cant wait to go back, can i tell you a secret, shhh... bring your ear closer :

YOU'RE SICK.

Actually hor, I have a christmas surprise for all of you but not yet! I hope it'll be successful.

For now, I would like to introduce u to my new found friend, Spikie! He's super friendly, see, he wants to make friends straight away! LIKE STRAIGHT AWAY!

I think i shall let Spikie to do my season's greetings!

HAHAHAH!!! I find Spikie really funny! You like him? Save him and you can use him as ur emoticon too!

Ok, I've decided

Nothing's going to get me down. Every unpleasant thing that happened, shall *snaps fingers disappear! That's more like it. I can't be so moody everyday and when i'm moody i cant do anything.

Everyone has their own set of problems and what's more important is dealing with them and maturing in the process. For me, i've decided to leave everything behind and carry on.

WELCOME BACK BENJ!

Ya, thanks for welcoming me back to this place! I havent blogged properly for a long time and before you all think this place is shutting down and stop coming, it's not! I'm back! No more camps, no more trips so it's back to full time blogging...hahah! I wish.. I need to study but before that i need to pack my place.

So as i mentioned earlier on, i came back from a camp in Pulau Ubin.

It's a camp organised by the children's kidney centre in NUH. I was there as a buddy and i had a whole lot of fun i tell you! It's the most luxurious camp i have ever been in my life.

They let us stay in a 2 story chalet with air-conditioner, TV, fridge and even the table is filled with fooood! Waaaah. You tell me camp where got so good life leh? My chalet is bigger than my class chalet ! Hahahah!

All these material luxuries aside, the most important thing i've gained is seeing younger,braver souls overcome their obstacles and doing what most normal people can do too. For your information, there are children with kidney failure participating too.

Everytime i see their scars, the tubes in their stomach, their dialysis, it's an emotional battle for me. It pains to see children as young as 12 undergoing dialysis. They are bound to a foreign machine 10 hours a day in order to wash out the toxins from their body. Can you imagine? And they can only drink 500ml of water a day no matter how thirsty they are and no forgetting the large amounts of oral medication they have to take a day. That's too much for a kid to handle. Sometimes i wonder why is life so unfair?

But I have never ever heard them complain once. In fact, they are still cheerful, fun-loving and sociable. I enjoyed myself thoroughly with them, playing games, brainstorming for cheers and such. My problems seem so minuscule compared to theirs.

Other than that, I have also made very pleasant aquaintances and friends. I'm very blessed to meet such nice people who make memories so much more worth remembering.

Ok, time for pictures!

Unfortunately, on the last day, i was down with a fever and sorethroat. My fever was quite bad, even the air i breathed out felt so warm. Arh, i just hope my sorethroat quickly heals so i can go kbox again.
