[ 1244. w800i ]
Went around some starhub shops today, but my search for w800i was in vain today. Most of them ran out of that, and they're not bringing in new pieces. Only singtel seems to be carrying them now.
I'm feeling all angsty and stuff today. Just felt that things weren't going my way. And especially when people don't reply my smses. It just adds on to the frustration. Self-inflicted one, that is. So sirs & mdms, please check your phone, and if you do get my smses, do me the favour.
Argh. i'm going all bonkers, probably from lack of sleep and peaceful rest. Maybe i'm just tired. Maybe i'm looking for the wrong things. Wait, i think i'm looking for the wrong things from the wrong people.
Alright, melancholy should take to the benches now. Shoo, go away.

[ 1243. Reminiscence ]

it was one of the regular night's off. And we went to town, aimlessly strolling around. Sat around spinelle's at heeren, blabbering incessantly about all the crap that happens in camp, without giving any thoughts to which prying ears could be picking up information around us. and no, i didn't smoke there, contrary to popular beliefs. smoking was only reserved to clubbing nights and coupled with alcohol.
Those were the days. And of course, we have all moved on. And no, we haven't forgotten anything. It's just that we've moved on and left those times as part of our precious memories of the friendship we had. And still have.

[ 1242. Many Things ]
Ahh. my first accident after i got my licence. Wow.
Drove mom to see a doctor today, and dropped by junction 8 for the tuition fee loan and a cuppa before we head to aunt's place at aljunied to collect a document. In the carpark at aljunied, i did a wide turn (as again), and i happy rubbed my bumper off the side door of another vehicle. Say wow.... and yes, i was like totally sianned, and mom just went out, strangely calm, and settled the issue for me.
Shall not go into the details. but i've gotta admit, that whole incident just totally destroyed my day. So badly, i didn't want to turn up for the outing. In all childishness, i just wanted to stay home and sulk. Lol.
Decided to make my life a lil better by going out eventually. Was two hours late, but who cares. The group's pretty small today, and all we did was to walk from tangs, to heeren to check out havs (but i didn't buy), to cineleisure to see if there's any movie to watch (none), back to wheelock for coffee (and i had bk), into zara for some window shopping, and then towards taka for ice-cream at DQ (cuz the one outside wheelock ran out of ice-cream), and finally to PS cuz charlene wanted to go spotlight. We went on a wild goose chase since she couldn't find what she wanted though. Did a lil shopping before having dinner at long john's silver. It was like eons ago since i last had ljs. And it's like all oily and heaty, and i was telling myself not to have so much fries but i gobbled up half the pack anyway. The killer moment was when we walked past fox. AND WE WENT IN. and before we knew it... tingyi and myself got out of the shop, 67 bucks poorer, together. Gee.
And yes, mr nah, i'm running. Are you?

[ 1241. Insecurities & A Class Photo ]
Insecurities set in when i'm down, out and feeling sick. Like yesterday. And maybe today. My stomach feels queasy and hungry half the time, when i swear i've eaten in the last four hours or so. And after i've eaten again, i'll feel damn guilty. And the cycle goes on.
When i'm down, i'll think. Of every single nonsensical warped logic you can ever think of. Of how the whole world hates me. Of course i know that's not true. The whole world doesn't even know me, and people are not out to hate each other. (Although i do know of a few who's main motive in life to be a pain in the arse.)
Alright. Let's talk about something else. 9 years down the road, we finally had an extensive gathering of my primary school graduating class. 6A'97. Imagine how long ago was that. Everyone grew up, while most people looked the same, albeit looking like enlargements of the little boy or girl i used to know, there are some who changed drastically as well. Just as i remembered how we visited ms teo back in sec 3 during chinese new year, i saw stephanie with countless piercings, including the one on her tongue that totally grossed me out.
The turnout for the gathering was astounding, given that we all have moved on, 9 years in time. With some of us guys moving into universities and the girls flying all over the globe for their tertiary education, kudos to every single dude and lass for joining us on this little get-together. Of course, a million thanks to wenyu who painstakingly called every single member of the class, and started a buzz of emails flying all over in the running up to this event. Many thanks to tienfa for the wonderful place and preparation of the food too.

Sometimes i wish i have every reason to get moody.
When things goes wrong and a frown forms on your face, you'll just focus on everything else that doesn't go your way. For example, the lift that just closed on you the moment you run towards it.

[ 1240. Missing in Action ]
Seems like i missed alot on the crooning session yesterday with the fflooshers. Well, with all you people giving your afterthoughts i guess i'll just make do with the sypnosis. Hahaha.
Ok, let me steer the attention 180 degrees away from ffloosh to something else.
Imagine with me: you are blindfolded, and led around in an unfamiliar territory. No one tells you anything, nor explain to you the significance of the event that's supposed to take place. You walk on, and on, hands on the shoulders of the person in front of you, and talk endlessly with him or her, to relax and make the best out of the uneasiness of the situation. You hear footsteps, laughter and the next thing you know, the 'weatherman' is here and you feel powdery stuff being littered on you. Cold water then descend on you, first in sprinkles, with increasing volume each time.
And that's only the appetizer.
"Cross your arms in front of your chest. Keep your knees straight. Now fall back." And into a soggy mattress you go, instantly wetting your entire back, butt and all. To everyone's relief that's only water, or so it seemed by the smell of it. But what came next was worse, if not as bad. Chewing on something that was supposedly raisin, it reeked of wasabi, tasted nothing like wasabi, and felt like some styrofoam bearings that came out of a torn beanbag. Followed by leopard crawling through a mud-ridden canvas sheet, suddenly it seemed so much more enjoyable when one is in long four back in bmt.
And no, that's still not the end yet.
You are being led across alternating grass patches and brickways, totally unaware of where you're heading and what you're going. Though not manhandled, the dirt, grime and more importantly, the lack of sight brings out all the fear in you. At a top of a slope, you are told to sit down on what seemed like yet another piece of canvas. Being pushed to lie down on the slope, and having your legs crossed, and down you slide. Recall, when was the last time you actually played on a slide of any sort? It was childhood replay-time, ending in a nightmare of a mudpile right at the bottom. Ouch. Soft and creamy, it almost felt like you landed into a pool of chocolate mousse. Of course, there are none of the chocolatey smell at all. Across another long path you take, and you are told, this is the finale. You sit down where they tell you to, and you stick your legs over the ledge, into the surprisingly warm water. And you walk through it, with nothing to guide you except one thin nylon rope above your head which you're to hold on to at all times.
And that conclude my last night. Thank you.
On a lighter note, some kind soul returned me my documents by post today. Even though i lost my wallet and money, but i guess it's good to count my blessings. =))

[ 1238. Lost ]
Stepping into the fourth day since i lost possession of my wallet, i'm wondering if there are still kind souls out there who know how to return lost documents.
Go go, take my money if you want, just mail me my ic back. I'll gladly renumerate you if you leave your particulars with it. Because if i really have to replace it, it'll be an accumulative 700 dollars to date into the government's pocket.
Gee, now you know why i'm short of money. Always.
Had a sudden craving for cafe cartel yesterday, so i went lunching with chris. Hazel joined us after her lessons to scout for a gift for their baby cousin. Inevitably, i found a new role as a prezzie advisor.
With my impatience and their oh-so-limited budget, we settled on a playdoh set which was amazingly affordable at 20 bucks for 3 cans of dough, and numerous moulds and dough-presses. Additional dough could be bought at 3 bucks for 2 cans. Perhaps i should buy some to relive my sad childhood.

Losing my wallet is a perfect excuse for shopping for a new one, so into the wallet shop i went. Nothing interesting. I'm still pining for my old one. Gee. And sadly, it's no longer on the market. The present wallet collections are pretty boring at best. It's either something too loud that rebellious adoloscences will carry, or simply too simple and dull. Nothing in between. Nothing even close to my old one.
I have a penchant for purse-like wallets akin to passport holders kind, like my old one. Something with a simple coloured design on a leather or similar make. Something large enough for me to carry all my odds and ends, and yet not lose its shape or bulge till it's out of shape.
I'm a fussy guy. And guys are fussy about their wallets, as much as girls care for their handbags.
Speaking of bags. i want a tote bag too. >.<

[ 1235. Wishlist Updates ]
I need NEW gadgets.
First up, handphones!
I was thinking of getting an n70 some time back, but i realized that it's getting shamelessly common. In fact, i'd love to get an n80, but at that price, it's virtually out of my range. Aesthetically, it ain't that pleasing as well... much as i love classy phones like the n80, it's a lil too bulky for me. And i guess like all other classy gadgets i used to have, i never fail to scratch them within the first month. so nokia, you're out.
So i'm actually eyeing the w700i & w800i. w800i's the better model, albeit it's the older one. w700i doesn't come with autofocus and synchro with apple, among other unimportant functions. Size-wise, both are similar. And i've actually very much prefer white with orange rather than titanium gold with orange, even though eric told me that the w700i looks very classy. When i was doing aa06 earlier this year i was actually deployed with darren just before i left for my bangkok trip. And i was playing with his w800i, and i was sooooooooo tempted to get one at that time. But well, there was still a long way for my contract, so i decided to just wait it out. And frankly, i doubt i can find w800i that easily on the market now, unless you're talking about the 2nd-hand market.
And i should be getting a macbook instead of the acer w3022 that i was eyeing. Let's compare some specs here:
Acer 3022:
-Intel® Core™ Duo processor T2300 (1.66GHz, 667MHz FSB, 2MB L2 cache)

[ 1233. Funeral ]
Something random before i go to the subject proper. You know i tend to think a lot whenever time and space allows for it. And such an occasion arose just now, while i was sitting and staring into blank space at my uncle's wake. It's those times where you have wonderful arguments and theories formulating in your head, and you'll be wondering where's blogger when you need it especially so at that time.
I guess i didn't like announce to the whole world that my 5th uncle lost his battle with lymphoma last friday, while we were having starry starry night. Before you send your condolences, i'm not actually close to him. At all, sadly. He was one of those relatives whom i see once or twice a year, usually at chinese new year or any other major events. That's one of the problems with large families in our parents' generation, you can say. So finally after much procrastination, i finally got my big butt to the wake somewhere in the far jurong west after tuition today.
Met the usual relatives, and answered the usual questions. "Yes i'm (my mother's name) son." "yes i'm going uni this year" "yes i'm turning 21 this year." "no i don't have a girlfriend." and the list goes on. And of course, after all these mandatory re-introductions, i'll relinquish to the far corner table, and silently tuck into the typical funeral tidbits of peanuts and packet drinks. (It's strange why they don't serve can drinks, huh?) Before long, i got bored, and i went off, walking around the neighbourhood, calling people to kill time.
I guess i'm pretty relieved that yet again, i'm spared from all these rites. So as i watched from afar, i observed. The monks and volunteers leading the prayers. Leading rounds around the casket. Chanting monotonous and seemingly boring prayers. And all my relatives seemed so... emotionless. I wonder if they were tired of crying, or they were simply numb. Numb from all the proceedings, numb from all these hype. It seems to me that all that's done is out of obligation. Outside of the rites, sisters were discussing about the possibility of hitting someone's else house for a game of mahjong or two. I see my granny crying a moment, and chatting incessantly with another fellow granny in another. It's like, hey, wasn't this supposed to be an event of remembrance and mourning?
Humans and their shows. Tomorrow while the casket leaves for the crematorium, i'll probably see more people wailing. Whether for the sake of it, or overflowing from the heart, i dun wanna know. After all, i won't be there.
Rest in peace, uncle.

There are tears dwelling up in my eyes, i wonder why.
frankly, as i reflect upon my friends, my life and my values, i realized it's nothing but one big gooey mess. there are models that i'd like to follow, principles that i'd love to have, but somehow things don't turn out like that. i know i have problems following them.
i'm just so ill-disciplined.
once again, there are things i wanna do. i want to run for foc'07 exco. it's a far-fetched dream, maybe, but i guess that's something that i wanna do, something challenging, something out of my comfort zone of being simply a consumer. i've got big dreams, but small guts. i've got wild imagination, but limited vocabulary to verbalise it.
i hope, i dream, i want. but will i get?

[ 1230. Guys ]
Copy this whole chunk from mervin's blog. so true. lols.
and i've made up my mind: move on.
especially after reflecting and evaluation.
things are going nowhere. =)
===
You might agree with it, but when it actually happens, 99% of girls dont realize it till it is too late and that guy who did it is so frustrated that he has moved on to someone who will take notice.
From a guys point of view:
We don't care if you talk to other guys. We don't care if you're friends with other guys. But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off. It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there. We don't care if a guy calls you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned. Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. that it can't wait till the morning. Also, when we tell you you're pretty/beautiful/gorgeous/cute/stunning, we freaking mean it.
Don't tell us we're wrong. We'll stop trying to convince you. The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence. Don't be mad when we hold the door open. Take advantage of the mood i'm in.
LET US PAY FOR YOU! DON'T "FEEL BAD". We enjoy doing it. It's expected. Smile and say "thank you." Kiss us when no one's watching. If you kiss us when you know somebody's looking, we'll be more impressed. If you expect us to dress up, turn up dressed up as well. But if it's an inpromptu meal or casual meeting, you don't have to feel the need to wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own.
We like you for WHO you are and not WHAT you are.
Honestly, i think a girl looks more beautiful when she's just in her pj's. or my tshirt and boxers, not all dolled up.
Don't take everything we say seriously. Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it. Don't get angry easily. Stop using magazines/media as your bible. Don't talk about how hot Morris Chesnutt, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us. It's boring, and we don't care.
You have girlfriends for that. Whatever happened to the word "handsome"/"beautiful".
I'd be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with "Hey handsome!" instead of "Hey baby/stud/cutie/sexy" or whatever else you can think of. On the other hand im not sayin i woulndnt like it ether ; ) And most importantly, don't say it for the sake of pleasing me, especially if i know that i'm not.
Girls, I cannot stress this enough: IF YOU AREN'T BEING TREATED RIGHT BY A GUY, DON'T WAIT FOR HIM TO CHANGE. DITCH HIS SORRY, DISGRACE-TO-THE-MALE-POPULATION ASS, AND FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL TREAT YOU WITH UTTER RESPECT.
Someone who will honor your morals.
Someone who will make you smile when you'reat your lowest.
Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes.
Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel.
Someone who will stop what they're doing just to look you in the eyes....
and say "i love you" .......
AND ACTUALLY MEAN IT!

FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE AND YOUR FREAKING INFORMATION, i am entitled to my views, my thoughts, my friends and most importantly, my life. And just happen so that your gf belongs to my circle of friends, alongside people like jo, fio, gc, cs and whoever there is in tpjc that i know. I'd like to include you in, but unfortunately, from the way it seems, forget it.
So if, if, if, you don't like what you see, scram. You do not have to suffer by typing in MY url, and read this crap. And letting angry thoughts rushing through your mind. Boy, it's unhealthy for the heart.
And try crossing me one more time, and i promise you that this will not be the last time you hear from me.
Thank you. =) And all the best for your 'a's. Lols.
Yours sincerely,
Whatever.
oh, in case you're wondering, i do have a tracker on my blog. i know my visitors. ;)
i'm feeling dangerous.
And i simply cannot understand why people like to CHOOSE to read stuff that they know they won't like. Apparently mr yeo's not the only one, and so i heard. C'mon, make life easier for yourselves.

[ 1226. Happy Birthday Enghow ]
Such a simple affair, yet such a powerful atmosphere. A get-together of the army brothers for a reunion steamboat dinner in celebration of enghow's birthday was what i expected, yet i got more than that. I was touched.
Touched by how God has really worked through this brother. Touched by God's providence for those who called on His name faithfully. Touched by God's amazing grace for all of us who needed it so dearly. And touched by the God's love manifested through this band of brothers whom i've known since donkey years ago.
"Christians are really weird people isn't it? They make normal birthday celebrations something so real and alive..." And so said bo. I had to agree. It's indeed one of the best 21st birthday celebrations i've enjoyed thoroughly, flashing back on those memories that was created by these people. It was just so... wonderful.
And enghow, enghow. I can never say enough thanks for all the times you stood by me, praying for me, counselling me and helping me through each time i'm down. It's simply awesome that God could provide me with someone like you, someone whom i could call "bro" so fondly. A million thanks to you, and a dozen times more to God. =) All the best in these four years, and try as i might, i'm gonna run this race with you come what may.
Happy 21st hatchday, dude. =)

There are so many things rushing through my mind at this point in time. So much so that i feel like exploding.
