What a day!
Day two of the SB freshman orientation 2004 as well as the supposed start of our CDA Flash Workshop. 'Supposed'. The dude in charge didn't 'manage' to contact anyone and so none of us knew it was cancelled, so everyone went down to school in the morning... almost wasted trip, except that the FOP was on as well, so we went for that.
Rotted in convention center for half a day, listening to all manners of speeches, then Flag Day's tomorrow, soooooo... we (the slack facs) will be going to Tanjong Pagar at 7am in the morning, send off the Freshmen, then hopefully, as planned, watch a movie and play LAN... even though we're supposed to follow and supervise the class. :P
After that, went to California Fitness with darling Fa Fa, cos' i thought it was a 'free trial', as in go in and work out for free....unfortunately, it turned out to be a guided tour.... so i got to go all over the place, see free weights, studios, stationary cycles, treadmills, and finally, into the changing room and see lots of naked guys instead. *cue lots of gay themed tagboard entries from Ahmad and Safuan*
Eventually, got brainwashed into joining... now i'm a proud member of CALIFORNIA FITNESS! *Who wan go... gym muz have kaki 1...*
However, while in there getting a tour on 'how to tone my gluteous-soemthing', or Ass, for the uninitated, my stupid handphone battery died on me....while i was halfway messaging 'her'! Waaaah sad sia... but even more irritating was, before that, when i was waiting for 'her' to reply, i kept getting messages, from other people.
Imagine sitting by the window, phone at your side, fervently expecting a special phonecall, then other idiots keep calling and say 'sollie, wrong number!' >_<

Wowser! Backie from Malaysia... spent almost 5 days there, went up by coach. Actually i've uploaded some photos onto my computer aready butttttt......because it's taken by Dad's Nikon D70, each picture is on average a whopping 2.2MEGABYTES PER PICTURE! Which is nuts, but you can really zoom in like mad, until can see the individual hair fibers on your face!
K not that bad la but still clear like dunno what.
Still, it means i gotta resize everything before i can upload. soooo lazy. I'll blog another day, for now i'll just put up a pic of Shaw Shiuan and meee... taken in some weird neoprint shop in KL's Sunway Pyramid...
Me olde classmate, budden transfer out after one sem i think, doing mass comm in m'sia.
These newfangled machines.....endless array of personalization available... can scribble, put pictures of sadako, put all sorts of weird things on... problem is....it's all in Japanese! so by the time we figured out how to change stuff no time left. -_-'
~~·~~·~~·~~·~~·~~·~~·
Anyhoo. like i said, lazy to blog now cos' need to do the photos thing so another day then... took lots of cousins' pics cos' my dad has a baby fetish... (somewhere somehow, safuan is getting excited already)
P.S. later going freshman orientation thingy again, hope hope hope³ can find kuan shyuan... muahahahaha!! only reason i'm going man... *cue hoobastank's the reason*

Just came back from the SB Freshman Orientation Camp, very short one which even tho had bad organisation and planning (though not due to lack of effort, just bad luck), was still pretty fun!
Didn't sleep for two days, but talked alot of rubbish and learnt a couple of new card games, made some new friends as well.
Then i heng heng got a nice group with chiobus inside, one of which is kuan shyuan, whom i would like to get to know better but suay suay i left the camp early for my dental appointment in the morning, overslept and missed everything, so didn't manage to get her number... oh well, hopefully i'll see her in school.
Had a drag queen dress up competition too! but i managed to wriggle out of getting dressed up by lying to my group that facilitators can't participate, in the end went around taking pictures with the contestants with my face on their b( . )( . )bs.
Heh, will try to post pics if i can get...
Also, i'll be going Malaysia for my gramma's birthday, hopefully can find cheap tattoo parlour there and meet up with shaw shuian and eat loads of good food! Yep, Malaysia kicks ass!

AwwiGht! my 100th post! actually not much but i just like the symbolism of the number there...
Against my own credo, and very unwillingly, Safuan forced me to watch Harry Potter and the prisoner of askajamulabongaballs, and it actually turns out to be a pretty good show! Now, i'm interested in reading all the HP books.... unlike Saf who watches for only one reason---
The depraved perverted paedophile.
She's only, what...15?? But a hot 15 year old.
Anyway, holidays are boring as hell, because i haven't really been going out, living a very monastic lifestyle. Eat 1 or 2 meals a day, meditate alot, sleep alot, go running and gym alot. Heh.
Good thing about this is i'm saving loads of cash, and theoratically getting fitter by the day. Only thing is i'm very inconsistent with my training, and that is due to another of Safuan's recommendations---
Soooo... go to hell saf! bloody bad influence. Anyway, u or ahmad sees this. Punisher! and/or spiderman 2!
While i'm still on mat, you bloody chikunehneh! Can reply next time on MSN anot!
---
And the last part of this post shall be a rant. on how some people only ever look for me if they need help or want something. -_-
it's... annoying. They don't call, or e-mail, or even IM me most of the time, which suits me fine actually... but whenever they do. i know for certain they want something, so i'll always have this little debate going on in my head on whether to pick up/reply them or just play dead.
Sadly, my selfish side is so selfish it refuses to speak up at all, so my helpful side wins all the time, and i end up doing all the shite work.
Nuts.

Anger is trivial... just a little while ago my parents had one of their for-lack-of-a-better-word, spats. just slightly raised voices. Always, one or the other will give in, then it is as if nothing has happened, and they are as loving and accomodating as ever.
Will i ever find a soulmate like that too? i see my parents and view them with a trace of envy, as i have never had a relationship with anyone like that in my life. Irritated by their 'argument' then, i went out for a run, covered my usual route, which usually takes me ½ an hour jogging, in 15 minutes by running like a cow being chased by a butcher.
When i came back, everything was cool again. Heh. Family, the strongest ties a person can have, bonded by blood. despite everything, they will always be there for me, and vice versa.
Apart from that, i have learnt, anger, jealousy, whatever, is banal and self-destructive. i shall endeavour to make full use of the rest of my holidays by reading adv. theory, going gym, and cherishing the people around me.

On another note, the martial arts community in sg must be smaller than i thought. Bumped into an old friend who wanted to introduce me to a fellow martial arts student, so we could meet up to spar or something.
Turned out to be my 'shi xiong (mandarin)' 'siheng (cantonese)' 'senior (english)'. Blardee hell. was looking so forward to meeting new people to spar with and then end up like that. -_-'
I NEED TO FIND A PROPER GYM! or failing that, get some dummy to hold thai pads for me. I can feel my limbs rotting away. They weren't kidding when they said your skills need to be practiced to be maintained...
Oh well, hilltop muay thai here i come (again)!

Not to say that i haven't been in the mood to blog, but rather circumstances conspire to take me away from it. My last hefty blog was wiped out after i clicked publish post and it gave me a wonderful Error 404.
Apart from that minor hiccup, i been busy playing jedi knights of the old republic...chiong finish the game...hahahaha
Before that, had our DVPA presentation for the HPB-SP video competition on the 1st of June, with the grand prize of 600 dollah! SIX HUNDED DOLLAH! We won, partially due to luck, because our script had one story where the great Dwarf Queen Evon was pumping smoke into Big Balls Ben, causing him to die of passive smoking.
While i'm sure that he would gladly suck it all up because of it's 'lengthy' origins, that's besides the point. One of the judges could relate to it because he had a classmate who dieded the same way, part of our devious plan of generating empathy by using 5 different stories, a 'shotgun' approach, fire everywhere sure hit something...
While finally, as the crowning apex of the past week, i went down to Yio Chu Kang today to help out a friend's major student film, safuan. What i DIDN'T know, was that i was going to be a half-nekkid, gay, swordsman thespian...all at once. K i just realised how screwed up that sounds, so i shan't elaborate on that...
Listening to:
Tamyra Gray - Raindrops Will Fall
Revis - Caught In The Rain
