living for a new tomorrow.

2009-11-12T04:26:00.002+08:00

Do you think i can really not care?

Do you think i can really forget?

Do you think i can really let go?

Life is ....

2009-10-19T18:45:00.001+08:00

if not for my work and music, i have nothing to look forward in life.

2009-10-04T16:49:00.001+08:00

Sometimes, i do hope i get a little more appreciation from you.

Certain things, done, within or beyond my control, shouldn't be taken for granted.

Don't always have the mentality that i will always be there. i do get tired too.

2009-09-20T21:00:00.000+08:00

i don't wanna fake a smile anymore.

i just want a simple life.

2009-08-13T02:49:00.001+08:00

Reading your blog brings back memories.

And i was determined to wash my hands off you. Wondering what is it like to bump into you again.

I gave up. I really did.

But why did you pull me back again? Talking to me as if nothing'd happened.

I'm beginning to realise that I don't know you. Don't know you at all.

Just what do you want?

Mistake Reversed Not.

2009-08-03T16:44:00.000+08:00

Sometimes, in life, we cannot afford to make certain mistakes. Mistakes that can neither be salvaged nor reversed.

And i made one on my birthday.

It's over. Time to pay the price.

2009-06-29T23:16:00.002+08:00

it hurts to see you feeling so down,

and yet there's nothing i can do to make you happier.

2009-06-28T06:17:00.005+08:00

i know you did that on purpose, cause you jolly well know that i will read your blog.

and i'm telling you that it does not affect me in any way.

cause i've got 90 days.

You show a man what he needs in life and he will move earths and mountains, just to achieve it.

Let me show you.

2009-06-27T17:52:00.002+08:00

You get disappointed,

when people don't live up to your expectations,

especially on your birthday.

2009-05-21T02:12:00.001+08:00

My friends have been urging me to tell you this before it's too late. But for some reasons or another, i just don't wanna say it to you personally although you know it.

i love you, babe.

When the night falls, the loneliness calls.

2009-04-21T04:05:00.003+08:00

Waiting is never easy,

and in case you din realised,

i'm still holding on.

Till when?

2009-04-16T14:47:00.002+08:00

Disappointment usually doesn't sit well with me. Maybe you have some advice to give, on how to be insensitive?

I used to think i can hold on for the longest time. Looking back, i've became rather sick and tired of this kind of lifestyle.

Guess i can't fight this feeling any longer.

2009-03-14T20:21:00.005+08:00

i can't help, but smile, looking at your msn display pic. cute. =)

i heart.

on a sideline,

i know u're not feeling too good in recent times, but always remember, i'll be your healer for your pain.

And when you need someone to love you,

Here i am.

2009-02-18T03:16:00.001+08:00

Patience is my ticket to you.

It's only a matter of time.

Light up. =)

2009-02-08T06:17:00.002+08:00

That peck on my cheek caught me by surprise.

And i have to admit that i especially like this kinda feeling.

Shocked but sweet. =)

2009-01-28T13:28:00.001+08:00

i can't believe i have sleepless nights over you. And it's taking a toll on me.

When is it my turn?

2009-01-27T23:44:00.002+08:00

i did something wrong. Really really wrong. Sigh.

My love life's in a total mess.

My Food for Thought.

2009-01-26T05:22:00.002+08:00

At times, when i get blinded by pain,

i really feel like giving up.

Do you even know, when i feel really down and lousy?

Your presence has indeed made me lonelier, all on this Chinese New Year.

Love Fool.

2009-01-20T01:38:00.002+08:00

Times like these can be really crazy yet blissful in a sense.

I just can't explain what and how i'm feeling, but i do know my direction.

If things still do not turn rosy eventually, i know that at least i've tried and cried.

Guess that when one's in love, little gestures from the other party sure do wonders, even if it's just a simple pat on your shoulder.

i'm willing to do much more than just a pat. And i'm sure you know that.

As much as i will not like an intruder to spoil my relationship, i will not do that on impulse too.

But come again, in love, all is fair. i believe in fighting for your wants and needs.

If you can't resist my temptations, it just goes to show much he matters to you.

Period.

2009-01-12T19:32:00.000+08:00

Word of the day:

Disappointment.

Yes or No?

2009-01-11T05:11:00.001+08:00

how?

should i go on monday?

i really feel like it.

But morally, i know i shdn't do it.

Some agree, some don't.

Who shd i turn to?

Expressions.

2009-01-06T14:52:00.002+08:00

2009-01-04T05:42:00.001+08:00

Love always catch you off guard.

I'm caught.

Form of escapism.

2008-12-30T05:39:00.001+08:00

When i'm down, i will always lock myself in the room and play the piano for hours.

And i did that the whole of yesterday's afternoon.

i wish.

2008-12-25T04:31:00.000+08:00

how i wished i was the one.

how i really wished i was the one.

how i really really wished i was the one.

merry xmas.

2008-12-20T03:32:00.002+08:00

it's nice to have somebody,

but not anybody. =)

Bottled up feelings.

2008-12-06T03:49:00.004+08:00

It sucks to know about this.

It might not be true,

but i choose to believe it.

You might not know it, and i don't usually do,

but i dedicate this song to you. Just you.

Here I am - Leona Lewis

This is a crazy world

These can be lonely days

It's hard to know who's on your side

Most of the time

Who can you really trust

Who do you really know

Is there anybody out there

Who can make you feel less alone

Sometimes you just can't make it on your own

If you need a place where you can run

If you need a shoulder to cry on

I'll always be your friend

When you need some shelter from the rain

When you need a healer for your pain

I will be there time and time again

When you need someone to love you,

Here i am

If you have broken dreams

Just lay them all on me

I'll be the one who understands

So take my hand

If there is emptiness

You know i'll do my best

To fill you up with all the love

That i can show someone

I promise you, you'll never walk alone

Well, if you need a place where you can run

If you need a shoulder to cry on

Well, i'll always be your friend

When you need a shelter from the rain

When you need a healer for your pain

I will be there time and time again

When you need someone to love you,

Here i am

Everybody needs somebody who

They can pour their heart and soul into

Well, if you need a place where you can run

If you need a shoulder to cry on

I'll always be your friend

When you need a shelter from the rain

When you need a healer for the pain

I will be there time and time again

When you need someone to love you

Here i am

i don't have the habit of telling people about my love life.

i rather keep everything to myself,

And hide my sorrow behind my smiles.

i'm sad. i really am.

2008-11-26T01:50:00.002+08:00

even when you're old and ugly,

even when you're sick and disabled,

even when you're poor and stupid,

i do.

unless you're not you.

2008-11-23T00:10:00.000+08:00

this is the time when i need you most.

Parking sucks!

2008-11-13T01:55:00.002+08:00

i swear parking is really difficult!

Whatever i've learnt in Comfort is totally irrelevant to the "real-world" parking. i had trouble parking the car. So many uncertainties. Argh...

Qualified Driver.

2008-11-12T01:16:00.001+08:00

i've got my driving license! Finally...

*PHEW*

taking the test is very very very mentally torturing!

Mockery.

2008-11-10T22:43:00.003+08:00

Conversation 1

Huiru: "Hey. How you pronounce the name of the singer who sings Umbrella? Is it RAY-HANNA or RIYANA?"

Keith: "You think she Malay meh? Riyana sia."

Huiru: "Erm. Then how to pronouce?"

Keith: "It's RI-HIA-NA!"

Huiru: "Oh.... Now i know already. Ri-HIA-na!!!"

Keith: *Um Chio*

Conversation 2 - scenario: Coming down from the escalator with some music playing from the shopping mall's speakers

Huiru: "I like this kind of music! What style is it?"

Keith: "Bossa Nova."

Huiru: "HUH! BUS-SA NOVA?"

Keith *couldn't stand it anymore. burst out laughing*

Random.

2008-11-07T03:56:00.002+08:00

i like this sentence.

"i'm giving you my heart to break, but i trust that you wun do that."

Thats true love. I found it while reading Jaron's earlier entries. i rephrased it alittle though.

Halloween 2008!!!

2008-11-07T03:06:00.004+08:00

Pictures for Halloween!!! Had a really great time "dressing-up!" Well, although St James wasn't really that fun and happening, the company more than made up for it. =)

Btw pictures are not in sequence. I just randomly view then upload. Haha.

We each had a waterfall, courtesy of yours truly! And i drank another one on behalf of Marilyn as she complained that her mouth got "BURNT!!"

More drinks at the bar. Some "dunno-what" jug which "cant-remember who" bought for me.

My long time friend whom I haven seen for quite some time. But we will hang out soon right, Shu Ling?

I think they were tipsy when they took this picture! Jiayu: *in a very faint voice* "I'm tipsy. Take care of me k?"

She burnt my face!!!

i think i look really freaky! Like some old lady in the movie "Troublesome Night!"

We mixed lotsa different drinks that particular night. Starting from Tequila Shots, Whiskey Dry, Champagne, Chivas and Waterfall!! Oh i think some beer too!

How to not get drunk? We all puked the day after!!!

We went home wasted. Although i drank the most, i'm the most sober. Threshold still not too bad.

I went home in this full attire. While walking back home at the corridor, my neighbour who was heading to the airport screamed when she saw me. And the best part is, i din bother to stop or say anything. i just carry on walking! Wahaha. i'm too tipsy to do anything.

Anyway, shall plan for Halloween 2009! A real blast again. It's never too early to plan! =)

Dream and Dream.

2008-11-05T00:41:00.003+08:00

Dreams!!! Illusions that seems so real, so true. Dreams according to experts are actually re-enactments of our unrest state of mind. Well, my friends had some weird dreams recently. And it's getting to me now like a infectious disease.

Just over the deepavali weekend, I had an almost similar dream for 2 consecutive days. And it's the same person! At least it's something sweet and memorable. I could even remember the little details that practically leaves me smiling throughout the day. I woke up with a beautiful smile. Not bad a way to start my day. =)

Well, I had another dream just today. It's about this couple whom I do not know at all. But this guy who's sitting opposite me on the mrt train suddenly talked to me. He talked about his failing relationship which he's trying to salvage. Been quarreling with his partner for quite awhile and they promised to try not to quarrel anymore. But it only lasted 2 days.

What really sets me thinking is this that he told me, "Those 2 days were really the happiest days of my life." Such a mundane and simple sentence, but it actually struck a chord deep down in my heart. Quality time spent man! Anyway, I'm not stuck in such a situation. Just that it really makes me think of how I'm gonna handle future relationship problems.

I've a past. A bad past, relationship. It took me quite long to recover and I'm glad for all those who have been standing by me all these years. Family and friends, I've moved away from that full-stop. But it will always serve as a reminder cum advice to me.

I'm like a rubik's cube. The more you play with me, the harder i get.

Halloween!!!

2008-11-01T18:34:00.001+08:00

Had a really great time HAIR-LOW-WINING!!! And drinking waterfall(s). =)

Shall post my nice get-up when I have the pics!

Makeover!

2008-09-21T19:47:00.004+08:00

When i grow old and fat. =)

Disappointed.

2008-09-21T04:30:00.002+08:00

Am i worth that much?

Do you think i can really help you?

It's not to the extend that i'll scarifice for you yet. Prove to me i'm wrong.

I'll be more than willing to know that.

You suck!

Hurt.

2008-09-09T02:37:00.003+08:00

It's been eons since I last felt like this.

The pain of losing someone so dear.

Tribute to you.

2008-09-07T04:50:00.003+08:00

Thanks for every little things and stuff you've taught me. I'll forever keep it in my heart.

May you rest in peace. I believe you'll be free from all these misery. I love you, Nicole!

Performance.

2008-02-22T05:06:00.004+08:00

Riddle.

2008-02-20T03:13:00.002+08:00

Me: "Which is heavier? 1kg of steel or 1kg of cotton wool?"

Claudia: "Steel, of course!"

Me: "You sure?"

Claudia: "Of course!!! Who are you trying to trick? 1kg of steel and 1kg of cotton wool leh. Of course steel is heavier la."

Me: "WAHAHAHAHA! LolZ."

For your info, Marilyn had the same answer as Claudia. Duh!
Here's another one.

Me: "You're waiting for a train at the MRT station going towards Cityhall. You decided to board the 2nd oncoming train instead. On the station's LCD screen, it's written, 1st train - 3 mins. 2nd train - 7 mins. How many mins do you have to wait in total?

Marilyn: "10 mins la!"

Me: "Erm.. ok. *burst out laughing*"

Ok. Side track. i've recently started a Music Company with a few frens. And we do music camps, enrichment programmes, etc. Also, we can cater a live band specially for your own events like weddings, corporate functions and stuff. You name it, you get it. 2/3 man band up to you. Do contact me if you need any queries. Will post the website when it's ready.

Happy Valentine's Day! =)

Happy New Year.

2008-02-12T03:41:00.000+08:00

It's finally the year of the Rat. Haha. i hope that the year ahead will be a better one for me. More projects and gigs pls! haha. The long weekend passed really quickly. All the weeks of spring cleaning and preparations just for the new year. Argh..

Din manage to really take pictures on the first day. In fact, i din take any pictures. As usual, i went to my grand parent's place. Oh yah. i went to St James that nite. Goodness, i couldn't get a damn cab home. Super duper long queue la and there's insufficient cabs around. Luckily, Leonard came back to sent me home.

Headed to a chinese restaurant (cant remember the name) for lunch at Novotel Hotel on the 2nd day. Food wasn't that great and it's rather pricey. Well, once a year only. We used to go to Neptune Court for dim sum but it's no longer around. Since then, we haven been able to find a permanent location for our CNY lunch.

Uncle Alan, Laigu, Grandma and Dad.

We usually have 2 tables. This is the "adults" table. i'm young kkz!
Daddy and Mummy.
My youngest sister, Fiona.

Cousin Ken, who enjoys laughing at Jiayu. My mahjong Kaki.

The forever-pretty-looking Auntie June.
Cousin Louis, a CNB officer i think? Not too sure though. But i know he's in CNB. No drugs for you peeps out there.
Cousin Adelene and her mum.
Cousin Corrine, who's getting married this 7th December. She's the first in my "generation" to get married.

Auntie Maureen. Forever so comical and spontaneous.
Beloved Grandma and her favourites. Haha.
Beloved Grandma.
Family, without my the other sister who's in Brisbane.
A group photo after lunch.

i always loved Chinese New Year. The gatherings, the buying and wearing of new clothes and of course the gamblings! Haha. New Year always provides me with the perfect excuse to indulge in lotsa of retail therapy. And of course, it mends the hole burnt in my pocket due to all the shopping. i got myself a tad too many new outfits this year, enough to last me for a week or so. Mum's complaining. i so wanna have a Poker Nite (dom! arrange that!) or a Club 21 Nite. Din really play cards this year though. But i played alot of mahjong. To me, mahjong is not really a "new year activity" coz i play it every week. i wanna Ban Luck! Any takers? Be careful, i've got my red undies and poker boxers to bring in all the much-needed luck. i'll fish your AH NAMS over. MOOLAHS MOOLAHS, come to me now. I'm your owner.

Tearful Monday.

2008-02-05T02:04:00.000+08:00

My sister left for further studies today (not considering the fact it's after 12?), exactly the same day my cousin left for Australia a year ago. So coincidental yahz? Sister will be away for 4 years but we'll probably be visiting her next month when the younger sister is having her March holidays. Well, she was supposed to leave last nitez but she was not feeling too well. Luckily there's still vacancies for tonite's flight.

Din really get her any presents becoz she had whatever she needed and any unnecessary stuff would mean additional baggage weight. Btw her luggage is already overweight. SQ is so expensive. A whopping 195 bucks for 5kg of excess luggage. Goodness. Anyway, i got her some precious photos. At least she will get to see them when she's over there.

Was sucha tearful event at the airport. Parting is always hard, no matter what. On the brighter side, at least she's leaving for a good cause. My cousin mentioned something that struck a chord in me. She said my sister would be feeling ten times worst than any of us. We will miss her becoz she's the only one that's not ard, but when she's alone over in Brisbane, she will have so many of us to miss. Sigh.

I never like parting scenes becoz i know i wun be able to hold back my tears. Almost everyone was in tears. She's still young and she's a girl afterall. My parents and relatives will definitely be very worried about her. But at least technology is so advanced now, we can always get to see her on Skype or webcam.

Family photo.

Extended Family.

Cheryl - her TJC basketball pal.

Chung Cheng High (Main) teachers - her usual clique.

Carrying her bag and bidding her frens goodbye.

The walk towards the Departure Hall.
Hugging my mum. Yes, she's in tears. It's never easy to leave everything behind and start anew. i gave her a hug before she went in. If i'm not wrong, it's the first time i hug her, not mentioning when we were kids la.

To Sister Flora: If you ever read this, do take care of yourself yah? Be strong and study hard. Do us proud. But if it's really too hard on you, do not hesitate to come back. We will still welcome you back no matter what. I will miss the MobTV days where we watch missed episodes of Golden Path and Kinship II. I may not be the best brother around, throwing my temper and scolding you when i'm not in a good mood, but you know i dun really mean it. Hang on there, I'm very sure things will turn for the better soon. We'll be there soon kk? Chinese New Year will be so different without you. Dun worry, i'll help you collect all your Ang Baos. =) Miss ya lots.

Anyway, thanx Dominic for coming down to the airport to accompany me. i bet he wanted to eat la, thats why. Haha. Chit chat Bob O Hailing cute cute, i din wail like a baby k? Haha. But thanx for the efforts, i appreciate it. Oh ya, the last time i cried at the airport was 5 years ago when Jiayu left for Aust. Dominic, pls dun go too! I dunwan any of you all to leave.

Yes! This is how he looks like. Spastic looking, but always there to lend a listening ear. He's damn funny and nonsensical. He enjoys doing all the stupidantics. Wahaha. My sec 1 classmate. Goodness. Sucha long time. =P Oh ya, Happy Belated 22nd Birthday Donnie!

Events.

2007-10-30T01:44:00.000+08:00

i'm blogging becoz i need a short break away from my arrangements and stuff. Went for a few events recently. Shall let you guys see the pictures. BUT! My camera battery went flat during Saturday's Yes 93.3 Singapore Hit Awards. Argh.. But nevertheless, i managed to capture a few shots before my battery died on me.

Stefanie Sun receiving some awards.

Angela Zhang. She won all the prestigious awards la!

Was pretty happy with the awards ceremony. Fahrenheit's fans are really a whole load la. Their cheers are even louder den our very own Stefanie Sun. Goodness. Apparently, nobody cheered when the nomination screen showed Sun Ho. Wahaha. Poor thing. Congrats to Xiaohan for winning the best lyrics award. Yeah!

i made sure my camera battery is fully charged when i attended FM's official launch of the 881 OST 2 held at Lunar.

Look at the long queue. Darn.

Jim Lim. My idol. He writes and sings so darn well la. In case you din know, he wrote Ah Mei's Wo Yao Kuai Le and Stefanie's Wo De Ai and etc.

Eric Ng, Qi Yuwu, Royston Tan, Ding Zhiyong.
Ngak, FM's new artiste, releasing album next year.
Award-winning lyricist, Xiaohan. She wrote Stefanie's Yu Tian, Sandy's Zi Fei Ji, Tong En's Yi Xia Xia.
Durian Sisters. May and Choi.
Papaya Sisters. Mindee Ong and Yann Yann.

Performance was not too bad but the sound system was quite bad. Lunar is supposed to be a bar where there's live bands everyday right? What the hell. Anyway, these were the lucky guys who got to go to the launch with me. Haha.

Allen and Adrina.
Leonard and Terence.

Digress. The road ahead is quite tough and competitive. But this is not gonna bring me down. I aspire to do much better. And i know i can.

Awards.

2007-10-26T03:15:00.000+08:00

ok. here i am, blogging.

it's been quite some time since i blogged. Hence, i shall not post pictures of my weekends and stuff, else this will be an uber long post. Probably next time. Slowly.

Anyway, this is a rather special post. i'm gonna recommend my top few most UNGLAMOUROUS frens to people who reads my blog. Woohoo!

Welcome to UN-Glam-It-All Awards 2007.

In the order of merit. Just look at the pictures and u'll know the degree of unglam-ness.

Number 5.

Valencia Cheng.

Doing the Mambo-Jambo moves in East Coast Park. How glam can she get?

Number 4.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Claudia Lai.

Claudia is always caught off-guard while doing all the stupid antics. As "glam" as she looks and dresses, deep down in her, she's just an unglamsian.

.
The Bronze Medallist.

Marilyn Ho.

Since young, Marilyn has a "thing" for doing uber unglam stuff out of the blue. This is just a very small part of her collection. Walking around the condominium in this STYLO hairstyle doesn't help yahz?
.

.

The Sliver Medalist.
.
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Joana Lee.

Can someone just crack open Joana's brain. i would also like to see what's inside. She never fails to do unglam stuff, anywhere, anytime. That was esplanade by the way. Enough said.

And now the winner!

The Champion.
.

Charlene.

Enough evidence? Firstly, trying to the "models'-flying-hair" look with a hair-dryer isn't very advisable, especially when u're being captured on my camera. Haha. Next, the ultimate and worst thing. Digging your nose right beside me! Goodness, so you think you're on the MRT train?

Dear frens, do not be too happy or disappointed if you're not in the running for this unglam award. It's just that i cant find any unglam pictures of you in my laptop or you're just too lucky.

Lim Jiayu. By right, you should be in the top 5 too, but i promised not to post any unglam photos of you in exchange of your blog webby. Darn.

Jeslyn Chan. i caught you zipping up at Mediacorp changing room. Not very glam too ah? But not unglam enough. But ur IC photo, erm.. just change it la.

And oso, Renny and Evelyn, count your lucky stars. Renny, you betta thank God i din capture you carrying a 7-11 plastic bag walking in town. And you know what, the plastic bag contains her belongings like wallet and handphone. Goodness. Oh ya, and the put basketball thingy. She actually put a basketball in a plastic bag and bring it out. What the hell. Girl, your image don't match your vocals ah. Do something!

Evelyn, your unglam acts all happen too quickly, i dunhaf sufficient time to snap them. You lucky ass.

i shall end my long awaited post with a glam photo of mine. *chuckles*

2007-09-24T14:34:00.001+08:00

i dun remember blogging last nite, this morning i mean. i got no idea at all. And i woke up not knowing where am i, for the first few seconds la.
.
.
.
.
.
.
i hate to do the Joana's thing. Nurse a hangover. Darn.

Drink. Drank. Drunk.

2007-09-24T05:06:00.000+08:00

Well. Am not too happy over some stuff that happened today. You should know why. (Don't bother asking me.)

Had my fill today. Drank a tad too much at St James.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
(literally) drunk.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Let's pray that i will not get any hangover. Pls!

Late Nite Escapade.

2007-09-22T16:50:00.000+08:00

Friday late nite Escapade to Macdonalds. Haha. At uber uber ungodly hours. Imagine, breakfast starts at 4am. What do you think?

Well.. Hunger pangs must be fed!

Anyway, musicians' biological clocks are very often haywire. Haha.

Jeslyn, my supper khaki.

Come on! I'm hungry.

Egg McMuffin and Bagel.

Caught you on camera.

Yummilicious food makes Keith a happy boy! Told you i'm a fan of Ronald Macdonalds. i dun mind writing a Mac commercial jingle! Haha. But i really gotta stop all the late nite suppers and stuff. My face is becoming rounder. Gosh! Pls dun remind me.

But i dun understand. i still take 3 meals a day. Just that it's pushed back by a meal's time. Why do i still get fat? Hmph!!

Review.

2007-09-18T05:18:00.000+08:00

Luckily for me, Sunday's recording in the afternoon was cancelled. Had brunch with the family in Chinatown. Dim Sum.

The food at Tak Po Restaurant was yummylicious, and at an uber reasonable price too. i so wanna go there again!

Headed to the newly-built temple located in Chinatown. Our virgin trip. The architecture is magnificent. Although i'm not a fan of such stuff, i was truly attracted to the designs and crafted-sculptures on each and every wall.

Temples do have their own set of rules and regulations. As a form of respect, shorts are not allowed. My sister, Fiona had to put on the sarong provided. Mummy was so eager in helping her put it on.

My sister was so darn embarassed becoz she finds the sarong fugly. Erm. i kinda agree la. it makes her look like one of the vendors sellings veggies and fruits in Thailand's Floating Market, don't you think so?

Smug look upon seeing my sister being embarassed. Wahaha.

Went over to Plaza Singapura. Wanted to get an acoustic guitar but we cant seem to find one that we like. Haha.

i lost some dumb game with my sister. This is my stake. Argh..

Cathay. Had Ben and Jerry's.

Our sinful decadence.

Daddy was telling them that by taking pictures with me would be equivalent to showing their faces to people who reads my blog. And i was pretty shocked.

Yes!! Daddy admitted to reading my blog too. Darn. But i got nothing to hide. Haha.

Hello Daddy!! You see the tagboard on ur right? Do leave a tag? =p

Then...

St James Powerhouse. Fabulous Sundays. My favourite party other than Mambo Jambo.

Downed some alcohol. But apparently, all the different alcohols added up din got me as high as what a jug of Zouk's Long Island Tea can do to me. Imagine how strong Zouk's drinks are. No wonder Kenji puked. Erm... Haha.

Gary Lanson. Uber fugly!

Er hemp!!! Ssssh..

2007-09-18T05:04:00.000+08:00

This is what happens when one is deprived of a childhood.

Macdonalds Birthday Party for the 26 years old Mingyuan on Saturday. A surprised one. All planned meticulously be Jeslyn. He was so touched that he teared. Haha. But i shall be nice and not post his crying pictures although he dun read my blog. Kindness runs in my O+ blood!

So being forced to wear the party hat. i'm actually not too worried about spoiling my image or something, it's my hair that i'm more worried. Later out of shape, how? Haha.
it's kinda fun. i never had a Macdonalds Party before. Or did i have? i really cant remember. But i recall having one at Kallang's KFC.

i heart those childish yet enjoyable games. i haven been playing them for eons. Musical Chairs. Wahaha.

The surprisers and the surprised one.

it's time for some kick-ass Sentosa when night falls.

The so-called couple photo that "she" wanna take. Law-abiding me.

We chilled out at Coasties, Silosa Beach. Ambience was pretty laid-back and relaxing albeit a mosquito-buzzing one.

But being the havoc me, i still prefer the brightly litted Cafe Del Mar.

2007-09-18T04:46:00.000+08:00

My weekdays are pretty mundane. Met up with Evelyn and Joana on Thurs, a day before Eve flies off for her 10-days long holiday trip in China.

Erm.. she betta not come back with imitation Anya Hindmarch's I'm not a Plastic Bag. i'll turn her into one.

They had Swensens dinner at Crown Prince. i had my sashimi at home before heading to town. =)

They knew they had to definitely had to walk uber long distances should i be around. Haha. True enough, we walked from town to town. For desserts and chats.

And of course to Lau Pa Sat for my all-time favourite snack. Grilled Prawns.

In case you din know. Prawns are uber low in calories.

But!

it's uber high in cholestrol. Darn. Anyway, it's Victoria Beckham's favourite snack too. The lifestyle of the upper-class. Wahaha.

Headed to Pipit Road for supper with Jeslyn and her "singing clique" on a rather peaceful TGIF-nite. Haha. No alcohol! No ear-blasting music! No rowdy crowds! No drunkards!

Just a plate of 2 bucks Hokkien Mee. Haha.

Was uber traumatised when a god-darn-f*cking lizard dropped from dunno-where, landed on my clothes. Darn disgusting.

Eeeeee.......

Look at how composed Jeslyn is despite having that reptile on her hand.

Well.. how's my acting? Was just trying to be a Drama Mama. Star-awards Best actors nominees not out yet. Do you think i stand a chance?

Jianli. Trying to french-kiss the lizard i think?

Botak-infested Zouk.

2007-09-13T15:25:00.000+08:00

Zouk was massively infested with BOTAKS last nite. i'm sure they're gonna spend their recruit-promoted-to-private allowance on the uber strong drinks in Zouk. i've never tried a stronger long island tea. Darn.

i like my hair now. Save all your comments pls. Haha.

The fun people.
All smileZ. i hate the luminous pink nail polish. Fashion police, where are you?

Give it up to the Heinekien Girl. Wahaha.

Denise. Kenji's sec sch junior, who happens to be my pri sch fren. it's a small world afterall. Claudia, do you recognise her?

A jug of long island tea really got me tipsy yahz? Apparently, i was the first to complain that i'm high and yet.. i shall not say more. Haha. Just look at the pictures and u'll know who's the real ROCK STAR!!! (check out who's wearing the Rock Star tee and you'll know.)

Well, i'm reserved for erm.. you-know-who lahZ.. No names mentioned. Haha. *shy* Oh ya! Joana, you still owe me this picture!!!

Kenji and Valencia doing the thing too. No originality. Haha. i'm reserved they oso wanna be reserved. They think they're as charming as me? Oops!

Valencia, continue selling your Heinekiens la.

Ta Da!!!! The guy who got wasted becoz of "tea!" Haha. Kenji, i gotta be fair to Joana and Claudia. Becoz i always post drunk pictures of them.

Sitting on the toilet bowl.

Doing the merlion.

The norm. While waiting for Kenji to feel better by sitting on the toilet bowl.

i bumped into Kristel. Was pretty shock to see her there, especially with the abscence of Keith Kwok.

Kristel, me and the drunk one. See! Drunk still wanna take picture. Haha.

Our tequila shot.

Kristel's fren. Cant remember her name though. i only remember that everyone loves Keith!
i look as if i know that gal for eons. But the fact is i only know her existence last nite. Haha.
Who is high-er? Ready to head home and hit the beds.

Din really dance much. Not much calories burnt.

Kenji lost his should-have-been-changed-long-ago hp. But then again, those darn people ah. Always like to target on 3.1458736m high people. Kenji, show them the karma like what you did to me at Raffles City. *shrugs* Erm. Maybe they're on mission la. The Museum probably sent them there to seize your phone so that they can put it on exhibit.

All in all, Zouk's always fun on Wednesdays.

Itchy Fingers.

2007-09-08T04:43:00.000+08:00

i had my routine haircut with my usual hairstylist this afternoon. Was pretty happy with it. When i'm back home, i thought my fringe was a tad too long, so i attempted to cut it myself.

And now..

it's so darn blardy short and ugly. Apparently, i just continue cutting till i realised it's too short. Darn. Don't you dare luff if you see me! Argh.. i betta restrict my fingers to just the keyboard and microphone.

On a brighter note, i'm staying over at Ritz Carlton tomorrow. it's the day of my youngest sister. Daddy got some weekend stay there coz of some credit card thingy. Not too sure though.

Happy Birthday, Fiona! i'm your elder brother, don't always bully me. Haha.

Yeah!!! My first batch of demos will be out tmr. =)

For The First Time.

2007-09-02T05:07:00.000+08:00

For the first time...

i blogged at this ungodly hour of 5.23am. Half sober.

my frens helped me got your number. And u actually remembered me as the one who plays volleyball. Haha.

i took a photo with you.

i was left stranded outside my house for half an hour becoz i left my stuff and keys in Claudia's bag.

i bathed under 70s flickering disco lights in the toilet! Yes.. i know its the 7th month.

And one thing for sure.. i've not been this happy for eons. *Excited*

=)

Lyrcist.

2007-08-30T04:27:00.000+08:00

i've found an uber talented lyrcist. Jeslyn Chan Ee Ling.

i knew her for a decade but i never knew she could write so well. i always thought that she's only capable of singing my demos. Wahaha. Shall publish our latest work soon.

She wrote the lyrics for my new song. She writes in a simple yet firm manner. The way she conveys the message in the song is like.. WOW. And she can really rhyme the words. i heart!

i'm constantly looking for lyricists whom i can try working with. Do drop me a mail if you think you're up to it. =)

Break.

2007-08-24T04:16:00.000+08:00

Despite having a number of incompleted stuff in hand, i decided to give myself a day break. Away from all the songs and arrangements. This much needed rest will enable me to inject more creative and mass-friendly ideas into my demos when i get back to work.

Was doing my new song when i sudddenly got a mood swing. Maybe i was too into it that it affected me? i let my "sometimes eccentric character" get the better of me. Thus, i deleted my that entire Sonar file. Definitely for the better. And i won't touch it again. For Friday only. i will do a better one on Saturday. Demoralised.

i will put on my thinking cap again on Saturday.

True Fact.

2007-08-24T04:05:00.000+08:00

"The top producers and musicians were the most humble and unselfish guys. They share their knowledge with u, and didn’t look at u as competition.They regarded u as much needed new blood, to join them and make the Asian Pop Wall of Sound stronger then before."

- FM Director, Eric Ng

i agree with him totally. Nicole is a living example. Not like.... (no names mentioned) Haha.

My Music.

2007-08-21T05:21:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the hiatus. Been really busy lately. Lots of songs to be recorded and arranged. And the arrangement is killing me. i really envy the Warner songwriters where they just have to write the melody and the arranger will arrange for them. Sigh.

From a positive perspective, i get to experience and learn alot of stuff. And every song that i write and arrange, brings me to a different level of musicality (erm.. how many storeys are there? Haha.) And it allows me to understand all the contemporary pop stuff that i'm doing zillion times better. i can feel and kinda see the improvement that i've made over these months. But it's all hard work yah? i'm definitely very much better than when i first started out. Argh.. My that groovy R & B number. it took me a god darn 3 weeks to arrange. But now i can easily arrange a decent ballad in a day. Wheee...

it's all part of my musical journey. i reap what i sow.

Eric Ng is uber inspirational. For people who's lost, Eric's the director of Funkie Monkies Pop Music School. As known to many, he's the man behind the songs featured in the local movie "881." Btw, i'm attracted to the songs that were featured in 881 though i'm no avid fan of Hokkien music. it just sounds interesting. i think i'm gonna buy the OST, then i can sing to you guys. Wahaha. Indeed, music is universal and has no boundaries. As a songwriter, it is important and enriching to be exposed to different music genres. Erm.. Anyway, back to Eric. He's an uber talented Producer/ Arranger/ Songwriter.. i aspire to be like him! Darn. it's uber embarrassing if he's knows about this. Haha. Because of him, i'm gonna churn out a new song before i turn in. =) Wait.. it's not because i like him or what-so-ever. Just that he inspires me. Get it?

i'll be back soon. With more zest. And of course cool pictures. Oh ya. My mummy got me a new PDA handphone. HTC Touch. Uber sleek and stylish. Just like me. Haha.

Our Nation's 42nd.

2007-08-10T15:06:00.000+08:00

i was part of the historical moment yesterday. World's largest floating stage. it was my full-housed concert. All 27 000 fans turned up. i wished.

We were there pretty early. An hour before the time we're supposed to be seated. But.. it's already darn crowded.

Weather was humid. Sigh. Was surprised by the crowd over at One Fullerton. God.. They were there like eons before the parade starts. So so so packed. They are really patient man. To think my mum says she wants to watch the fireworks. How can she ever beat these kiasu Singaporeans?

Non ticket holders.

The emcees.
Dim Sum Dollies. My all time favourite local cabaret trio. They're darn talented. i heart their slapstick humour.

i reckon the whole concept of this year's celebration is to feature something that's uniquely Singapore. Many local talents were included in the lined-up. This year, all of the emcees were different from the previous years. Missing all that Gurmit, Michelle Chia, etc.. Erm. The new ones weren't really successful in getting the mood real high. The audience were not warmed up enough to shout and cheer. Basically, the spectators were divided into 3 sectors. Green, yellow and blue. And there was a dragonboat race. Apparently, we're obliged to support the team representing our sector. But there i was supporting the blue team, as the team is from Tampines Junior College. Haha. Boy, i was pretty embarrassed rooting for my alma mater in the sea of yellow team supporters. People were indeed looking at me. Of course, i just flashed my megawatt smile. Woohoo.

The Tang Quartet. They're real good. Totally mesmerized by their strings arrangements.

The marching contingent.

Singapore Flag. Soaring high.

Fighter jets display.
Erm.. Canons? i think. Haha.

The view was totally fantastic when the bridge was litted up with those pyrotechnics. Beautiful! And those agile commandos were doing some war related stunts underneath those sparks. Rappelling i think. As they are celebrating 40 years of National Service, we get to see the showcase of the latest land, air and sea assets. All the dynamic defence display. Woohoo. Was an eye-opener though i completed my National Service earlier this year. i don't get to see such stuff in camps la! Those little boys out there.. Your time will come.

Apaches and er.. Boats?
PossibiCity.
Our home-grown vocal prowess. She sang live for your info.

Of course, the highlight of the parade must be the fireworks AGAIN. Expected. Can you guys be more creative? Everytime also fireworks. Haha. But being the nice me. i've decided to capture those pretty pretty moments for your viewing pleasure. For those who missed it, good for you. Viewing fees of S$5/- please. Just to let you know, i'm no fan of fireworks. i don't like short-lived beauty. i go for eternal happiness. God!!! Haha.

Finale.

Erm.. in my opinion, NDP @ Marina Bay wasn't that spectacular. Too much pubilicity and hoohahs i guess. Probably due to the new location. i still prefer the old National Stadium. The festive atmosphere is very much higher. Everything is much more enclosed. Not so naked. But then again, it's not very easily accessible.

Headed to Marina Square after the celebration. Auntie Jeslyn was singing there. We went for supper at Bedok 85 afterwhich we had a "heart-to-heart" talk during our long walk home. Yes!We walked from Bedok, all the way to Tampines as we din have money to take cab home. Donations anyone? Of course not.. We just wanted to walk la for goodness sake.

Talked about our past, our childhood, our love lives.. Practically anything under the sun. Erm.. Moon i mean. But do stars sound better? Haha. And singing to the line of "i've walked the streets of Cairo and Bombay.."

anyone has tickets to NDP'08?

Uniquely Singapore.

2007-08-09T13:06:00.000+08:00

i've always been an ardent fan of NDP. i like the idea of coming together as one to celebrate the nation's birthday. And for your info, i've been attending NDP for consecutively 17 years. Lest the year i enlisted. Darn it. Leaves a stupid chasm in my "collective memory of NDP."

This year, it's pretty hard to get the tix. Due to the fact that they've moved to the Marina Bay for the first time and the holding capacity is very much lower than the National Stadium.

Just when i thought it's all over. i finally get one tix to NDP 07! Yeah! All thanks to Cheryl. Muackz. it's a VIP Seat. Nothing can contain my happiness. Totally overwhelmed. Dun be jealous of me. Wahaha.

Happy Birthday, Singapore! There's no place i'd rather be.

TuessssDay.

2007-08-07T23:00:00.000+08:00

Was just another mundane weekday. Was on my way home from music arrangement classes. Train was pretty packed as usual. Afterall, it's the hectic hours of knocking off. All rushing back to have dinner with their loved ones or to go back attending to irritating crying adolescent.

Was trying to recap what i've learnt earlier on whilst Corrine May's melodious vocals were ringing in my ears from my apple earphones. The train then came to a halt while it was in between Tanah Merah and Simei. And i thought nothing of it as this is "quite" always the case.

i did hear the ranting of the announcer through the PA system but i can't bear to leave Corrine for someone whose vocals is not even comparable to Cyndi Wang. Bitchy me. Yes! But Cyndi kinda sucks. Da Da Da.. Eeee.. Yucks.

Back to it. Obviously, i was oblivious to the surroundings. The hiatus came to an end. And service was resumed. When it reached Tampines, a kind soul actually told me that i'm supposed to alight at Tampines as the train will be stopping there. Argh.. Troublesome.

When i was at the platform, there was alot of commotion. Lots of civil servants were in sight. Police, SCDF, Firemen.. You name it they have it. It was like a belated "Total Defence Day" celebration! Haha.

An accident actually happened and i was taken aback. Kinda freaked out. The sight of everything. i do not know the details. Read the papers la, you nosey poker!

There was alot of people surrounding a lady who's crying profusely. Singaporeans ah.. Hai. Got the cheeks to crowd round her and watch her cry. Btw where's the persistent tissue uncle who pesters Maxwell's patrons every other minute? Get her some tissue pls.

Roads were packed with all these heavy vehicles.
i totally dislike the sound of sirens. Darn eerie.
Guessed this is the point where someone got knocked down. That's where it's cornered off too. Resticted.

One fire engine after another.

My heart still pumps quite quickly when i'm blogging. i hate witnessing such events. Till now, i cant believe such things actually happen. Especially when it's so near home. i thought it always happens at Clementi. Can they pls take some safety precautions to prevent such accidents from happening again? it's not the first few times already. Hai.

Life is very unpredictable. We should always treasure every moment for one will not know what will happen next. Do what you should and want to do. Life is too short for regrets. This might even be my last entry, you'll never know. Haha.

Retro Metro.

2007-08-06T16:22:00.000+08:00

After weeks of rehearsals, the national day dinner performance is finally over. Was quite a memorable experience with some hiccups here and there. Bitchiness of some of the management which i can't really stand. Haha. In conclusion, it's still a positive exposure.

Stage.

Ee Ling, getting her make-up done.

i heart Renny's hair. Looks exactly like a wig. And it makes her look so so so uber auntie. i'm sure she'll remember for life. Haha.

i don't like the way they styled my hair and did the make-up for me. i had to re-style my hair. As for the make-up.. Argh.. Lousy make-up artist. They din use stage make-up for the girls. Everything was too bland. On the contrary, they made me look like a faggot. Haha. So fair la.. This is the worst make-up i ever had in all my experiences of doing shows!!!!

Ps: Pictures featured below not recommended for the faint-hearted. Parental Guidance is advised.

Argh.. Don't laugh at me! We're back to the 70s..

The 70s Quartet.

Cassanova.

Jeslyn. Mamasan look-a-like.

Auntie Renny. What's up with that hairstyle?

Cheryl, the big bird.
Auntie Renny and our bodyguards. We're artistes that night. We need bodyguards to protect us from our legions of screaming fans.

Look at our star treatment. We din even have proper tables and chairs for us to dine. Erm.. can i even use the word dine? Haha. We look so darn pathetic. We were practically squatting throughout our dinner time. Whereas, guests of that night get to eat their 10-course dinner. Goodness.

Oh ya. The grass patch just in front of our "dining area" is uber smelly. And our Jeslyn Mamasan commented that at last, she knows how Bangladesh workers feel when they're having their meals. She's a meanie!

Heaven treats us better than how the committee treats us. Haha. At least, he gave us some attractive view of the sky. But... First class view at a third class location. Crap.

We were there in the afternoon. Rehearsed and did our preparation. Finally, it's our turn to go on stage. At 10pm. Late.

Auntie Renny and Jeslyn Mamasan were 0.15678 cm close to being disfigured. They were standing in the wrong positions during our finale. They were standing just next to the pyrotechnics when it shot out. Thank God Jeslyn Mamasan was agile enough to step back swiftly. And our Auntie Renny can be blur enough to continue standing there. i was the one who pulled her back. Darn scary la. But then again, the pyro could have burnt those outbreaks away. And Auntie Renny can be pretty again. Haha. Just too Bad.

All in all, it's a pretty good performing experience. it's my first attempt performing to a crowd of 3000 guests.

Well. At least i did my part for the country, other than my National Service.

TGIF.

2007-08-06T13:00:00.001+08:00

Corrine May is phenomenal. Her crystal-clear warm vocals can melt a freezing ice cube. In case you din know. She was awarded the Young Composer of the Year 2007 by COMPASS.

Cat 1 ticket.

The tickets were very reasonably priced. Way cheaper than my Christina Aguilera tickets.

Erm. As per norm, cam-whored when i've got nothing better to do. i need to kill time while waiting for cab and concert to start. i just cant get enough of myself. Oops! i'm a murderer. Becoz i killed time! Gosh.. Pls don't call the police.

This is the best i can offer. For your info, no photography were allowed during the concert. Another offence committed. Dead. Every shot was done with much hesitation and consideration. i was quite freaked out. Especially if there's a sudden flash coming out from my camera. i'm sure i will garner as much attention as Corrine.

Corrine's very inspirational. All those chord progressions and music arrangements. it gives a very magical touch to her self-penned songs. She definitely an uber meticulous writer. i love her new album la. it's not even out in stores and yet i've got a copy in my CD collection. Plus, it's autographed. Neh ni neh ni Boo Boo..

After the concert, Joana and i hurried out of the concert hall. We wanted to be among the first few to get her autograph. Mission accomplished. But despite our conscious efforts, we had to wait for a good whole 90 minutes before Corrine May gets to scrutinize those zits on Joana's face. Haha.

Yes! This is only 1/20 of the entire queue. And during the monotonous wait, we not only had to endure with the debility of our wearing legs, we had to put up with the crap thats coming out from the couple's mouth behind us.

Let me just name the girl, Irri, and the guy, tant. So here's what "irritant's" conversation is all about.

Classic Joke No. 1

Tant: "Just now hor. Corrine May sang Journey. How come she sing Angela Chang's song ah?"

Irri: "No la.. Thats not Angela's or Corrine's song la. its an oldie. Got this song very long ago."

Pls la. Do you actually think that Corrine will buy Angela's song and sing it? Pls use your common sense. And for goodness sake, u're here for Corrine's concert and yet u know nuts anout her songs? A big BOO to both of you. i almost wanted to turn back and correct you two.

Classic Joke No. 2

Irri: "So where do you wanna go after this? Holland Village or Dempsey Road"

Tant: "Er.. Holland Village, i scared very crowded leh. Let's go DELSEY Road la."

Again. Spouting nonsense. Where the hell is Delsey Road? Haha. if they were observant enough, they would have noticed me moving my shoulders vigorously upon hearing Delsey Road.

Well, enough said. Shall keep all these himbotic statements to myself.

We retreated to M.O.X after the autograph session. And we had a hell load of fun there. We took a plane there. Look at our first class seats. Singapore Girl, you're a great way to fly.

Gobbled a bottle of red wine. And its enough to get Joana real high. Jo has a in-built alcohol rate meter. She can actually tell me: "i'm 75% high." Haha. Where the hell did she get her reading from? So accurate and precise. 75%. Wahaha. it'll be a great waste of talent if she din join the traffic police force. Else she would be able to spot all the drink drivers and their alcohol level. Haha.

All in the name of fun. We got tipsy and started capturing unglam images. Ugly but enjoyable.

Joana was uber valiant under the influence of alcohol. She stormed into the Gents. Look at the picture and her artificial 2 inches penis.

i like this picture.

Headed to Play. Drink again. This time, it was my turn to get wasted. Our liquor galore. 2 whiskey cokes and 2 waterfall on top of our bottle of red wine.

i really salute myself. Drunk already still can take picture. in the toilet some more. But i kinda like that picture. But can someone offer to help me take away the toilet bowl pls?

Puking Joana.

i haven been so drunk for eons. i really enjoyed myself that night. Thank God it's Friiiidayyyy.

Conversation.

2007-08-03T14:12:00.000+08:00

Daddy: "ABN Amro Bank is giving me a free Indo-Chine VIP Card."

Keith: "oh.. is it? Then can you give it to me since you don't frequent Indo-Chine? Just put the card under my name will do."

Daddy: "Cannot. Credit Card is under my name. Btw Indo-Chine has a dance area rite?"

Keith: "Erm.. i cant remember. Think certain locations only."

Daddy: "i know the one at Wisma has. i can go there and dance. Good exercise."

Keith: "Pls la.... For goodness sake. Don't go there and make a fool out of yourself. There's alot of youngsters around. They will laugh at you."

Daddy: "No. You never see me dance before how you know?"

Keith: "i'm the kind that will laugh, when i see people of your age in clubs."

Daddy: "Who ask you to go and laugh? Everyone has to right to enjoy themselves."

Keith: "Errrr...."

Wed-ed to Thurs.

2007-08-02T23:12:00.000+08:00

On the very first day of our nation's birthday month, i made a trip down to Stereo Image Productions after my vocal lessons. Popular Sound Engineer, Kenji Karma is the studio director there.

it's the nicest recording studio i've ever set my foot on. it's nicely furnished, great ambience and everything seems so in place. Neat. So guys, now you know where to record all your demos and stuff!

Erm.. in case you din know. i'm paid for advertising. Haha. i wished!!!!

The corridor. Supposedly lounging area. But Studio director has since turned it into his office for doing cartoons.

Control room of the recording studio.
Live Room.
Composing Room. All the MIDI and stuff.
Yes!! That's the studio director himself. Kenji Karma.

i so wanna record my stuff there. And i will do so one fine day. Plus, i'll get to work with Kenji. He's a popular engineer. How can i not let him record and mix my stuff? Haha. And i'm pretty sure my songs will sound very much better with him around. Haha.

After that was dinner at Maxwell with the usual clique. As in Evelyn they all. Rushed off for vocals again at Ocean Butterflies. Luckily Nicole is even later than me! Thats the norm. Haha.

And then....

Wednesday nite. Where else again?

Zouk!! *only you can set me free...... coz i'm guilty.....love at the first degree* Wahaha.

Was packed to the max. Thank god there's sufficient oxygen to keep everyone going till the wee hours.

There's a super high possibility that the freak will spill the jug of alcohol very very soon.

Zouking with these guys.i'm impressed. How did i manage to keep the same smile, expression and pose for so many of the shots? Haha. Cam whore ma. Well trained already.

Spotted a couple of familiar faces. Everyone just simply loves zouk. Erm. All except Evelyn, i think.

Valencia.

Pamela.

Jie Hua. My NS colleague. i used to call him SIR!

i reached home at ungodly hours. Opened my fridge, and i saw a bottle of tomato juice. Erm. Mummy knows that thats my remedy to hangovers. But, i'm not wasted this time. Thanks anyway. i heart you. And i know you read my blog. Haha.

Mummy woke me up at 11am, when i was still so soundly asleep on this Thursday morning. She bought my favourite Big Breakfast from MacDonalds. Yeah! i left her a sms last nite before i turned in. And she really bought it. But.. i din bother to wake up. Haha. i ate it in the afternoon instead.

After much partying for weeks, i've finally decided to spent some quality time alone. Just Keith and Keith. i practise narcissism. i made my way to IKEA.

Look at this stupid sign. Tell you guys why i'm so god darn dubious about it. IKEA is on the right but the sign reads keep left. And even if you wanna manoeuvre into the carpark or something, it's still on the right. i swear it's correct. Dun try to be a smart alec and tell me that i'm standing on the wrong side ah. i'll slap your face till it's redder than my .... (erm. let me think what stuff of mine is red?) Oh ya.. Belt!!!! Haha.

Alternatively, i can flip the sign 180 degrees. Only then will it make sense. But then again, it will not be facing the direction of oncoming traffic. Argh. None of my business either.

Nevertheless.. i still managed to make my way to this Swedish megastore.

i do not deny. i have minimal flair for photography. i'm better off being the one that photographers snap. Haha. Upon reaching the entrance, i wasted no oportunity in capturing an overwhelmed me!

Wow.. it's IKEA's annual clearance sale. National Day is approaching. Being a prototypal Singaporean, how can i miss an ongoing sale?

However, the discounted items are so miserably little. At least on items that i wanna purchase. Astucious!

i like the concept of their dining area. it's so much better than the one in alexandra. Spacious and better views. Window seats! i heart!

Chapter 4, Page 67 of the "Narcissism Guidebook" states that to become a successful and renowned Narcissist, you've gotta take a picture before you have your meals. i must admit. it's uber embarassing to take pictures of yourself when you're alone. i had to take photos in stealth.

But at least..

i practise what i preach.

IKEA has gone environmental-friendly. They no longer give plastic bags. We've gotta purchase our own shopping bags. The IKEA ones cost S$1.20 and it's of lifetime guarantee.

i know IKEA's marquee colors are blue and yellow. But shouldn't the save-the-earth shopping bags be green in color. That will serve as a more obtrusive reminder for us not to deplete Mother Earth's resources. In my own opinion at least.
i inadvertently used up so many bars of gold la. Sigh. For the benefit of my room. Will post pictures of my newly-decorated room when i'm done with it.

Corrine May tomorrow. Can't wait for it. And i don't want it to end.

Urge.

2007-08-01T02:04:00.000+08:00

i wanna buy a new mobile. Probably a Nokia N76. Red Hot. Black looks cool too. Erm.. LG Shine caught my eye too. So i'm now left with one eye. Haha. Lame! Anyway, i heart the sleek design but it doesn't look user-friendly. Think i'll probably settle for the Nokia one.

i just renovated my room earlier this year. But now, i have a sudden urge to further furnish it with nice decors.

i'll probably drop by IKEA one of these days since it's so near my place.

"HE" doesn't bring me to IKEA so i've to go myself. Wahaha.

PS: My apologies if you don't get it. An internal joke. Cheers!

Weekend Craze.

2007-07-31T00:38:00.000+08:00

i had an awesome weekend. Loads of fun and laughter.

Despite nursing an injured back, i decided to attend Lionel's bdae bash at Play. Darn crowded. Expected. Was a Saturday afterall.

Packed.

i spent quite some time queueing before i managed to see the buzzing crowd.

it's really fun clubbing with these guys. Drink, drank, drunk. They always like to stuff me with drinks. i was drinking practically every minute for the first hour. Imagine the number of toilet trips i had to make. Too bad i couldn't dance else i would have enjoyed my night so much more.

Allen, thanks for taking care of me that night. As in, all the accompanied toilet trips and all the "extra space" that you deliberately squeezed out for me to stand so that i would not further aggravate my condition due to the uber high party-goers. Haha. i'm indeed confined to the "safe" boundaries of mine. Thank You!! i appreciate your efforts. Don't forget my French cuisine as promised.

Paying full attention to the roads.

i always hate the odious after effects of alcohol! They only make you feel good for the moment and they will never never fail to make people look ugly.

it was my sister's birthday on Sunday. She's finally turned 19. One last year before she hit the big TWENTIES!!!

Had dinner at a seafood restaurant in Sunset Way with my family and Claudia.

My celebrity mummy!! Is she hiding from the paparazzi or something? Haha.

The food is fantastic, i must say. Everyone is so so so busy eating such that they refused to stop for a second and let me take a "look-straight-into-the-camera" picture.

Happy Birthday, my dear sister.

i really like the knife that the restaurant's staff gave us. it made sister and i look like some serial killer. Haha.

Family Portrait.
An additional part-time maid in black.

Wanted to take a picture with my youngest sister when we were in Daddy's car. But a look at her facial expression and you'll know how much she really wanna be captured.

Instead, Claudia is dying to take a picture with me. Duh.

We made our way to Powerhouse after dinner. Beach Party!! It's my first time wearing slippers to a club.

Had an uber fabulous time there. And again, loads of alcohol!! Haha. Gin Tonic really sucks. i hate the taste of it.

That's Yingzhong. My secondary school junior working as a bartender there. After a few drinks, we allowed the alcohol to get the better of us. All the retarded acts coming out again.

Btw it's a beach party. Why does majority of the people have a goggles in hand? Does beach-ers actually bring goggles to the beach? Erm.. Unless they wanna look spastic.

Oh ya. First 200 guests will get a goodie bag. Lucky i din get any.

Goodie bag in hand = First 200 = Cheapskate and Kiasu = Don't need to pay cover!!

Phew.

Getting the stuff from the locker. Claudia trying to look sober despite being uber high.
Abhorrent pictures of us in our 3.721345 metres high state. Claudia is so gonna ostracize me for putting her darn darn darn ugly pics here. Well, i'm prepared for it. Haha.

i woke up to a craving for Prawn Aglio on a blued Monday afternoon. i'm so overwhelmed when my sister told me Pasta Mania has home delivery because i'm so darn lazy to go out.

Yummilicious!

Side-track. i missed my NS life. BMT, SISPEC and 10SIB. Was talking to Sebastian about our NS lifestyle. Sebastian was one of my bestie in camps. We practically talk about everything under the sun, moon, stars, clouds....

i'm sure most guys will have this thinking at times. Dying to get out of NS only to find out how much you missed your NS life. Pretty ironic isn't it?

Tiramisu.

2007-07-28T22:05:00.000+08:00

After being cooped at home for a couple of days, i finally had my tiramisu. Was craving for it a few days back.

Dessert decadence. Sinful.

Immobilised.

2007-07-25T23:58:00.000+08:00

i'm immobilised.

Thoughts.

2007-07-22T13:56:00.000+08:00

i knew i would see you today. true enough.

What's actually going through my mind when i saw you? Why did i have to react in such a manner?

What the hell am i doing?

Back to the 70s.

2007-07-21T13:43:00.000+08:00

Went to Mediacorp yesterday. Had my costume fitting for my National Day Performance. Don't get me wrong. i'm not part of the NDP'07 crew. it's just some National Day dinner for dunno-what minister thingy. Not too sure though. i just know what to perform. haha. (Let me know if you wanna come and watch. i can help you get the tix. but its not FOC.)

This is Mediacorp's wardrobe room. it's gigantic. Loads of costumes.

Look at how excited the girls were.

This rack is only one of the zillions there.

This is the sequined vest that the stylist chose for me. Afterwhich we did a couple of costume change. i bet they had an uber tough time choosing one of my size. haha.

i'll let the pictures speak a thousand words.

Renhui's geometrical dress.

Bow to Da-jie-da!!

A-go-go girls. Super retro can?

This is my final outfit. Will be wearing this pink one for the performance. The girls will be wearing those dresses too. Funky.

i still like it best when all 4 of us are decked in white. Like some vocal groups. But the girls find the dress way too short. Hardly cover their butt. But i won't blame them. i am empathetic. Well. they cant flaunt it when they don't have it.
Digress. Look at this t-shirt! Argh.

i saw this in the wardrobe room. And i cant take my eyes off it. i really like it alot. i so wanna buy. it's from FCUK.

Anyway, those who owe me my 21st birthday pressie can get me this instead. Please.. Oh ya. i wear size S. Thank You.

Zouk.

2007-07-21T13:24:00.000+08:00

What else can i do on a Wednesday nite?

Zouking of course.

This is the "killer" drink. Long island tea mixed with Whiskey Coke.

i had fun. And i burnt a hole in my pocket. Sigh.

It's Your Birthday!!

2007-07-20T12:31:00.000+08:00

You've been a great friend, companion and gossip buddy. i enjoyed every single moment spent with you.

Happy Birthday, Evelyn!

Love you. Muackz.

Sweet Tooth.

2007-07-18T12:51:00.000+08:00

This is how i spent my Tuesday afternoon.

i tell you. when you finally get to see this sign, you'll be estatic because it's gonna be your turn soon. Woohoo..

Grace!! My secondary 1 classmate and also my first 3 months jc-mate. She's currently studying nutrition in Sydney. She's back for her vacation. Received her call when i was on my way to Cityhall. Coincidentally, she's heading to Raffles City too. Just like me, she's gonna queue for the donuts. Telepathy!! Really..

Lucky she's around to keep me company during the 2.5hrs wait.

See!! We even wore matching slippers. Same brand, same size, same color!!!

This is our loot after the long wait. A great sense of satisfaction!

After that, i carried the 2 dozens of donuts to my Arrangement Class. it's pretty cumbersome. People do give you envious stares as though you're carrying the latest collection from Hermes.

Afterwhich, i went to deliver the donuts to people i loved.

Look at how happy she is.

Delivered the donuts to these gluttons at Tuckshop.

Joana and Evelyn looked like they can't wait to give the donuts a bite.

I made these people happy gluttons! All of them.. except for..

the one below!

i reckon she still prefers her Hum-Ching-Peng. Haha.

Finished. Every single bit. Headed to global sounds cafe to chill.

Was a rather tiring day - albeit a "planned" and fulfilling one. I just love being a donut boy. To those who've eaten my donuts.. Watch out ya? These donuts will accentuate your already not-so-perfect figure.

New Discoveries.

2007-07-18T12:22:00.001+08:00

i made 2 new discoveries yesterday though i din make a trip down to Singapore Discovery Centre.

Look at this twenty dollar note. i din even know it's existence till Joana showed it to me. erm. i think its still up for grabs. you can probably try the banks if you're interested.

if i'm not wrong, this is a collaboration between Singapore and Brunei Darussalam. Do check it out if you're an avid fan of collectible currencies.

Next up...

Yes!!! its this rug. Do you actually know that this rug is a female? And it has an English name.

Evelyn looks spastic, posing with Felicia.

it's called Felicia! i reckon she's an Indian. (look carefully to identify her nationality)

Friends of mine who do not have an English name, its time to get one! Don't lose out to a rug.

Random.

2007-07-16T01:52:00.000+08:00

Dun ask me why. No particular reason for this random post. Just felt like it.

Seems like lotsa people are drowning themselves in the myriad of emotions recently. Am i included? Haha.

Life is full of ups and downs. Very often, we will start comparing and question ourselves why are we in this particular predicament. Well. There's never an end to comparisons. And i'm definitely caught guilty of doing that too. *roll eyes* Every dog will have its day. No matter what, your turn will come be it good or bad. Its a vicious cycle. Yes!! it's karma if u want me to spell it out.
In life, we lose and gain some. Contentment is the key thing. Take a half filled glass of water as a significant example. We can choose to be happy because the glass is half-filled with water. Or likewise, we can also be sad because the glass is half-emptied. Well, we can't deny the fact that good things are often neglected and likely to be overshadowed by little defects. (i got this from Jaron's blog btw) Thus, i should learn to be more grateful to whatever i have. i really should. But i dun mind owning one more thing. Erm.. Person to be exact. *grins* Just one more! Haha. Work harder, Keith!

i always believed in fighting for what i want. i totally agree that there's no free lunch in the world. (Probably dinner??) We gotta work hard for what we really desire. Don't just sit there and wait for christmas. There's definitely a way out. Seize all possible opportunities and never be afraid to make mistakes. it's all part of the learning process. Mistakes and obstacles make us stronger and better people. Remember, there'll never be a rainbow without a thunderstorm.

Life is unpredictable. We should just live each day to the fullest. Real full. All of us are living for a new tomorrow. =) Tomorrow will be a better day. And the day after, better than tomorrow. We're all special and unique in our own rights. No two persons are the same. All of us are exceptional. The way we are.

Even the best fall down.

Ps: Hope u guys feel better after reading this. U know who you are.

Friday the Thirteen.

2007-07-13T16:03:00.000+08:00

i just realised it. Today's Friday the Thirteen!!!

boo! boo! boo!

Breakfast.

2007-07-13T14:46:00.000+08:00

i had my breakfast at the hour that it should be rightfully served! 6am!!! i'm leading a healthy lifestyle. haha.

my big breakfast.

No no no.. dun get me wrong. i didn't wake up specially just to eat breakfast. i wasn't even asleep at that time. my biological clock is definitely going haywire. sigh. must be due to all the late nights and partying.

Was uber hungry and craving for Soup Restaurant's Samsui Chicken, but how on earth am i supposed to satisfy my craving at that kind of ungodly hour??? well. i settled for the Mac's Breakfast instead. Thank god Mac's delivery is round the clock but they took eons to deliver. i almost fell asleep.

Big breakfast brings back alot of childhood memories. Mummy always brings my sister and i for Mac Breakfast when we were very much younger. Without fail, she would wake us up at 10am on Sunday just to bring us to Macdonalds. If you guys are wondering why is it 10am, Macdonald's breakfast ends at 11am. Haha. We would be there just in time. Those were the days!

Was talking to my cousin who's currently studying in Melbourne last night. She's heading home this December. When she returns, my sister is heading over. Sigh. Anyway, i was boasting to her about my big breakfast. I got her craving for her favourite McSpicy. Was pretty surprised when she told me that Melbourne don't serve McSpicy. i didn't know that. isn't Mac an international brand and thus the menu should be conformed? Well, conformity is dead anyway.

Mummy promised me Soup Restaurant for dinner!! Yeah. My craving must be fed!!!

Partying Week.

2007-07-11T01:47:00.000+08:00

i've been partying and drinking alot recently, or rather, this week. A real great load. Tiring but damn fun. i'm a party-goer!

Just a day after mambo-ing at Zouk, i went to Secret Gardens with Mandy and Lewis. (Yes!! Why am i drinking on a thursday night? Argh..) Over at home, mummy initiated a bottle of red wine. Drank again. Had a good chat with mummy and sister.

Had dinner with my family at Miramar Hotel on friday night. Food wasn't that great. But it wasn't that expensive so perhaps thats a good enough reason for the mediocre standard? Went to Wine Company at Dempsey Road with Mandy and Lewis. Nice ambience accompanied by great cheese and wine. i felt so heavenly can? haha. Headed down to M.O.X after finishing our bottle. Ee Ling was also finally "free" enough to join me. (you know what i mean? not that she always reject me but erm..) After chilling was HK cafe at Siglap.

Was cam-whoring almost the whole night. i just love taking pictures!

this is what i get after many attempts.

i just enjoy being retarded.

Wasn't in the best of mood on saturday. Watched 13 games to death with Leonard, Huiru and gang at Cineleisure. it's been ages since i last stepped into a cinema. This lousy show really confirmed my disliking for movies. (erm.. not all. but most.)

i ended my day with Chewy and Charlene. Chilling out at Somerset Coffee Club, followed by a long walk around Cairnhill with bottles of red wine in hand. Quite a romantic experience. i just love doing romantic stuff. Too bad i'm in the company of not-so-romantic people. What a waste! Haha.

Went for Blackforest's gig on Sunday. Nice set in a super sleazy, corrupted, messy, weird place!

Its partying time after that!

Gary Cao and i at St James Powerhouse.

Got wasted again. (is it again? haha.) No no no. i haven got wasted for quite long. i deliberately mixed the different liquors together so as to get high more easily and quickly. the reason being, me having a rather good threshold. I cant get high easily. Maybe because i'm short? Anyway, i succeeded in making myself high. All thanks to my superb mixing skills. Anyone wants to employ me as a lab assistant? Haha.

on the way home, i asked charlene to stop the car by the road shoulder of ecp as i can feel the vomit gushing up my throat. i'm considerate enuff rite? i dun vomit in people's car.

Happy me.

2007-07-11T01:37:00.000+08:00

Champagne and yummilicious food makes Keith a happy boy.

tuckshop. tuckshop. tuckshop!!!

Disappointed.

2007-07-07T13:44:00.000+08:00

i was excited for nothing.

happy birthday.

2007-07-05T15:06:00.001+08:00

the birthday song

don't worry about the extra line

that's creeping up upon your face

it's just part of nature's way to say you've grown a little more

trees have rings and thicker branches

kids shoes just get a little tighter

every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be

it's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be

happy birthday, my friend

here's to all the years we've shared together

all the fun we've had

you're such a blessing

such a joy in my life

may the good lord bless you

and may all your dreams come true

so light a candle on your cake

for every smile you've helped create

for every heart and every soul

you've helped to grow a little more

a few more pounds, a little more grey

don't count the years, just count the way

it takes a little time to go from water into wine

don't ever lose the wonder of that child within your eyes

happy birthday, my friend
here's to all the years we've shared together
all the fun we've had
you're such a blessing
such a joy in my life
may the good lord bless you
and may all your dreams come true

happy birthday, joana lee!

Mambo Jambo.

2007-07-05T14:25:00.000+08:00

after a super long queue, we finally managed to get in. good things are worth the wait. haha.

valencia, me and kenji, trying very hard to get wasted. haha.

notice the emergency door behind us? valencia was so clumsy that she actually pushed the door super hard (maybe she's high but she refused to admit?), causing the alarm to ring. everyone turned and looked at us. it was so damn loud on top of the already blasting mambo music. securities den had to come and resolve that embarassing act of her. she loves doing such stuff together with my missing-in-action fren, claudia.

i heart zouk.

Virgin.

2007-07-03T13:56:00.000+08:00

This is my virgin post. Recently, i've been suffering from WO-YOU-CHU-LIAN-LE syndrome. Well, only those closer to me will know why. And i kinda like that feeling. Haha.

Anyway, i will update what i did over the weekend very soon. Oh ya! i must upload all the pictures that i took on my 21st bdae bash. Will have to explore and experiment alot on blogspot. give me a little time. i'll be back.
