type='text'>AMC, SMC</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;it's been a very long time since i've updated.its not that i'm very busy or what but i'm just being caught up in "JC Life".just wanna enjoy the bliss while i can.much have happen how the past few weeks.we just got our classes today i'm in 1SC7.seems like an interesting class hopefully they will be a fun lot of people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;academics for JC 1 has yet to reach 2 weeks and i was like involved in 2 academic competitions.crazy man.luckily the results were comendable.whew... if not it would have been a total waste of my time...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;firstly was the AMC thing.in ACJC to join this competition like all of us have to go through a selection test before we can take part.welll thats smth new to me.in sec school it was like all in the maths olympiad programme has to take part in AMC, SMO blah blah blah....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;so like i didn't even studied maths for like the past 3 mths so i think i wasn't really at my peak performance i think.but by God's grace i managed to make it into the highly acclaimed team.both J1s and J2s had to compete together so it was like some sort of disadvantage to us....so in the end only 30 out of the multitues made the cut and i'm happen to be one of them.hahas.was rather surprised though...so we shall wait for the actually competition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;then the other competition was today held by the SMC.this time it was maths and science though there were far more greater emphasis on science and IT which i know nuts abt.maths was just a very small portion but the standard was pitched at much higher level for the maths component i felt that i was taking part in Maths Olympiad again.standards were really high.astronomy was crazy.bio, chem and physics was okay...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;we had to form a team of 3.but 1 member could not make it and he was an ASEAN scholar so i was like our team die liao lah...cos the 1st round was based on the 3 individual scores add up.so by the end of the test i was like i don't think we stand a chance.cos when my other team members handed up their ans i glanced through their ans and those that i was rather sure i got correct, they had different ans so i was like gonna man.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;then a funny thing was we were all along at the LT and the organisers call me up asking where we were and ask us to come to the LT now when in the 1st place we WERE IN THE LT.totally hilarious...at that point of time it didn't struck me that the only reason why they called me is to make sure we were present so we can proceed to the final round but of course i realised on hindsight that that was the only reason...they can't be calling up &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;so i(in fact all of us)were shocked that we made it into the finals.like only 3 teams made it out of the countless team that took part since every OG and class had to take part...that was really a surprised i must say.far greater than the AMC.i would like to think that all 3 of us contribute equally to the success i hope...i believe they did.so gonna collect our prize on friday...the inaugural one...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;i finally knew the reason y i was placed here and not anywhere else.i knew that he had a purpose and i have a higher calling....every group right??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                 &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Jonathan J.

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;oh yah how can i forget abt Firandae.quite fun lah.saw performance by ACSian Theatre and AC dance.both truly awesome and award winning performances.i guess we can expect much more of such quality performances from the performing arts grp in the coming mths and years.saw some games had the mass dance thing.then we started to go wild and start running around in the "train" format.quite fun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Quote Sameer: "its the best party ever"haha.but it ended quite soon lahs.like very fast...Oh our OG(yu hui) also bought for us lightsticks.so kind...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;so in all the orientation is damn fun made quite alot of new friends too..now i'm face with one of the greatest decisions.i really pray everything will fall into place and pls don't give me added problem,stress and pressure...it really sucks to be in my position for this situation...highly complicated...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;just gonna leave it to God and cast all my worries to Him and let go so &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;MOVE IT!!  STEP ASIDE!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I believe God have a purpose in making me go to ACJC and i think my walk with him will get closer day by day.draw near to me and i'll draw near to you....just gonna let your plan unfold.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;you are the porter I am the clay&lt;br /&gt;make me and mould me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;this is all I pray&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;i'm in the midst of writing another literacy work.hopefully i can publish it soon.but it rather negative in a way but its gonna be so true in depicting what we are gonna see around us in these last days....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;i guess by following the following values we won't really go wrong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;INTEGRITY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br

style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;haha....went to see a doctor today.not for cold, not for fever but for some lower back pain.hahas....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The reason??being CRAZY in NewYork last year.hahas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We were supposed to do in some opening of a new store in NY and we all decided to do something crazy and provocative.I mean all of us in this line has to be provocative anyway.so we decided to be really over the top this time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;we decided to dorn this huge chanel sunglass for some funk and add more retardedness.so what really caused the back pain was obviously not the chanel glasses but our footwear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;our ultra reatrded footwear.it was so crazy that we had to have it pre-order.hahas.actually we all chip in the design to the final piece.it was our funky masterpiece.since it was like winter we decided to have boots of course and the heals were the one that caused all the pain that all of us had to endure during the opening ceremony and the pain we had to suffer till now.like 1 month already and none of us had recovered yet.crazy man.so we were all quite worried that we really sustained some permanent injuries.so i decided to have a check just for physcological reasons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;the base of our boots was 6-inches pointed heals on 5-inches platform.so we were all elevated 11-inches.so that will make me 207.5cm.OMG.we were really towering above others at the opening.haha's leather.it was fun arriving in style.it was a great experience for all of us i guess.but i got to say that the interior of the boots was really comfortable with thick fur throughout the whole interior with velvet and crytals on the exterior on goat's leather.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;it was all wobbly and shaky at first but we all got used to it and was mastering the technique of it quite easily.afterall its not that we have never been on heals at all.its just that the one we have is not that high.so the pain set in half way and in the car we just literally ripped out our boots.legs all cramped and sore and it was then that we felt the pain in all our backs.esp the lower back where all the straining and balance was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;actually we just went up to our room bare footed and still shaky and weak all over.and the floor was so cold that it just numb your feet which in some sense good so we won't feel the pain.but it was not.the pain from the boots is in the bones but the chill from the floor is in the skin so it was pain on pain.luckily the next few days was not so hectic.just some short appearence for us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;so the doctor just diagnosed it to be some strain in the lower back.whew...luckily not some bone prob or wat eva.i still can lay my palm flat on the floor so i guess it should and i hope it would not be some big prob and hopefully the pain would subside after a while and the medications i was given.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;hais...tmr  at 8am.we would know what school we would go...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;should i be worried?afraid? or excited?i don't know.i guess i will still be sleeping.since waking up early or late

type='text'>OUTRIGHT EXTORTION-TOTAL CORRUPTION</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;sometimes its not very wise to drive MERC over to rather"corrupted" countries like in my case M'sia.cos if i don't remember wrongly the last trip i went to San Francisco they wanted my passport photo change so...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;not that i didn't bother but i somehow just slipped out of my mind.so didn't get it done.cause they wrote change photo in the passport and i somehow did not.so that smart immigrati0n officer(woman somemore) seeing that we are good money trees that she can grab(or more like ripped off) extra cash from decided to make thing difficult for us lah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;her the conversation we had......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;immigration:here put change photo.y never change??what are u going to do??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dad:eermm....when we get back we will change it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;immigration:How can i help you??(with her hand making that money signal.u know those days that we demand money from people.then we show them that sign.the thumb moving across the 4 fingers.and she blatantly wave the other passports)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dad:(immediately he knew what was going on.i was still rather loss.IT WAS BRIBBING TIME.actually not really bribbing.she demanded money from us in a smart way.which equates to EXTORTION.but no choice lor.she held my passport and returned his and the rest.so my dad had to put RM50 in his passport and gave it back to her.then she pretended nth had happen and let us pass of course taking the bribe of RM50 lah.walao this must be the quickest transaction man.the second u reach M'sia u spend RM50 to "buy" back your passport)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;whoooo.......50 dollars just flew away.but she was damn smart seeing the right target and flipping to the right page.walao.but what to do at the immigration office they are king wad.they want to be bribed we also no choice but to give lor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so for 50 dollars u can gain entry to M'sia.Aiya take it as entry fees lahs.so afterthat then nth "exciting" happen already.so maybe S'poreans should consider not driving Limos over esp when u have a fault that they can find with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh yah i just rmb smth.that Weekend car guy came to apologise and said some bullshit that i was not in the least interested to hear.and it was here that i relised that the woman beside him was damn ugly and fat somemore and short.OMG.what other worst combination can you get from that....but wateva lah.(lucky i didn't say the sex thing.if not i think i'll kill myself man)and when they guy was bullshitting to me i just spat on the floor and left.afterall that was all he deserves anyway.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Everything</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;My last day of job will be 22/1.after that i'm free to party again.hahas...but actually not really lah cause on saturday i think i got to leave the country again.This time its not Milan,New York, San Francisco,Berlin or any big cities in the west.i'll just be going to malaysia.its like the same for every year;don't want also must go.so wateva.maybe i shall sleep 18 hrs a day there??sounds retarded but i have not tried before.besides there is nth to do.no shops=no shopping=no spending=unneccesary for any spending power.OMG.so just gonna literally do nth at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;so yeah.that's all for Lunar New Year(LNY)haha.advance blogging.the red Packets thing.don't talk abt it.even though i get the best exchange rates in the world RM1 is to s$1.the total sum its still damn little for the most ordinary person.so for most people their spending comes from the Red Packets thing.i "don't even get to spend" in a way cause its too little.crap sia then i don't get to visit any relatives in S'pore=don't get their money blah blah blah.of course the biggest donor for the LNY thing is my big lah.without fail every single year(if i do not remember wrongly) the amount is always increasing.so probably that's the only thing to cheer about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;BUT i got to say isomthing lah in such economic status the world is facing and the technical recession S'pore is facing i'm damned blessed.we have not cut down on anything thing yet.we don't have to worry about food or shelter.we still continue to go for our usual big meals at swanky restaurants.and in a way we can still "so called" buy a "luxury" without having to scrimp and save just to get "that thing".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;i'll already prepared to slurge out big cash over the next few days before LNY.woohoo can't wait man.i'm definitely buying a damn good chair.we'll just see what they have.it just have to be stylistic, comfortable with high back rest with proper support and a head support where i can rest in total comfort.this is actually more of a need than a want so i don't think this is counted as a luxury bahs...hahas.i really need a ultra comfortable chair&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;hmm....i think i need to buy a bag too.still considering Nike or Addidas.it sucks when most outlet don't really sell the same thing so what one shop have the other shop might not have so its practically running to a few shops to see what they have.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;we are thinking of going to shop for some clothes too?!?!?i think most of us form S'pore going right??if i'm not wrong Tim already made an appointment with Zegna i think.we can use the discount they give us for drinks so they's meet for drinks before we go man.i heard they giving us 20% so good right?but must be more then &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;15 ooo right??wadeva lah go there then settle.hopefully they got new designs with new arrivals=many many more variety to choose from. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;so yeah that's abt it i guess.i'm already advance blogging.and i've yet to accept the reality that school is starting soon.sian man.but don't u think the system is a bit crazy??assuming that you are going to a JC they would tell you which school you are going on the 30th(friday) then you are suppose to get ready and everything and report in the 2nd(monday)??isn't it retarded??can't they just give us more time to be even mentally orientated and settled down before reporting??hais whateva lah.too bad we go to fit in the system and not to system fit for us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;taking the back sit is sometimes the best thing to do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;-Jonathan Taylor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>Goodbye my friends Bon Voyage to Qingdao</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;today is bidding goodbye to my friends in the Volvo ocean race.they will head to Qingda,China.it is said to be a very tough journey ahead due to extreme weather and strong headon winds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;i can still remember the time when we 1st met when u guys arrive in the later part of december.for some reason we clicked well and became buddies (hopefully) forever.i'll miss all you guys from Sweden.though the time we spent was short but it was very enriching and i learnt much from you guys.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;i'll be cheering all you guys and specially rooting for team Ericsson 4 and3.i'll be cheering for the teams but i'll place my bet on the Ericsson teams.for the other teams that are lacking behind don't worry.in such a sport like yatch racing the is so dependent on the weather and wind conditions, anything can change for good or for worst.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;just remember what happen to telefonica black.from the cape of good hope in Africa to India they were the underdogs and always lacking behind.but just one decision change the destiny of the whole team.just the decision at the last part of the race to stick close to the coast.that decision.that risk paid off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;towards the finishing, they overtook many teams as those teams were sailing together as a pack and so when you overtake, you overtake the whole group.this really shocked all the teams as well as the people waiting for them at the finishing line.overtaking puma, delta Lioyd and a few others i think.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;now if the info we are getting is not wrong, Puma is leading the  race followed by Ericsson 4, Telefonica blue, Ericsson 3, Telefonica black, green dragon.so goodluck guys.hope that in the future we can meet again real soon.hopefully S'pore has  been playing good host so they can host the Ocean race again next time.and maybe then we can meet again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;For Now Bon Voyage!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>My B'dae(a happy downgrade)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;This year for my b'dae i decided to have something different.i decided to have an ultimate downgrade compared to the past.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;i decided to have this day to appreciate the simplicity of life and to have a slow pace of life for that day.so i decided not to go to any  swanky 5/6 star hotel or some upmarket restaurant with some michelin star studded chef whipping up a storm for you.those pricy  dinners and english hi-teas for me might be considered a thing of the past now.for this day i wanted to lead a very simple life, in  a relax atmosphere.i wanted a change to my decadent lifestyle.period.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;so for the whole mood to be set  it has to start with the trip going there.of course i gave up a chauffeured driven trip.so why not try the public transport??i didn't want to go any where very distant so i decided to go to JP instead.walked around and decided to go to some place called fig and olive i think.some mediterranean style sort of thing.well the menu looks rather impressive.so decided to give it a go.yeah it was not bad.had some dory with cheeze on it.i had a set meal sort of thing.quite cheap i must say.soup+main course+a drink only 15,16 bucks.so i think quite reasonable.compared to the past when dining in some fine dining place the bill could easily escalate to a  hundred per person excluding drink where a simple non-alcoholic mix could be around 15bucks at least(retard man1 drink=1 whole meal with drink and soup).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;but maybe they lose out a bit on their service.like they serve their main course then their soup.so it was like...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;so by the time i had the soup the main dish was already not in its prime condition anymore.but i was like nevermind lahs..afterall juz appreciate for what it is lahs.just took my time and relax and just enjoy the ambience.afterall there were not much people there.since most had work or went to school.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;after that decided to go for some shopping.when i came back i realised that i bought 2 shirts and spend less than 100 bucks.quite impressive huh?i think  total the shirts cost me aroud 80+...quite good already lah i think.compared to last time.anyhow go to those boutiques then in a way binge buying.then at least 1000 gone each time.then never really wear or use also.but Paragon service damn good man.but if u want to go buy LV go Taka got doorman to open the door for you too and dedicated staffs to attend to your slightest needs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;so this time i think i was quite careful in my spending.like i spend the whole day there.i wanted a shirt rather badly but then no size.their"XL" was like still very small on me(something bad about being tall man)so cannot get.but on hindsight i realise maybe it was a blessing in disguise.cause thinking back i think i would have regretted my choice if i had purchased it.lucky man....if not waste money again...buy then don't wear...haha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;yeah so on the whole.the whole day was rather to my satisfaction.i also get to appreciate the simplicity of  life and it made me realise that for any celebration its not very neccessary to splurge thousands without thinking and for the sake of doing so.but while shopping i received a lot of sms about the date of release of result which will be on the 12th.wadeva.it doesn't matter.get the results then see where to go.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;anyway special thanks to those who send me b'dae regards, wishes, cards and all the gifts you guys showered me.i love them all.thanks guys.when i gave it to you guys i didn't really expect anything in return so thanks for everything.goodluck for the year.it will be a treacherous and arduous journey ahead for all of us...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;i just put my hope and trust in you and in you alone.you know where is the best place  for me.just like the path way you showed me and showered me with blessing and care along the way for the past few years...so wadeva it is ...i'm staying cool about it...i really hope i will&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>slow life</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;finally for the first time today i can feel like my life is slowing down for the better.like i can blog in the day and not in the crazy hours in the morning.its my b'dae today so obviously i'm not working.decided to take things easy and lead a laidback life for today.something rather weird happen to me today.for the first time i decided to take a MRT instead of car.so most probably going to take the MRT then have lunch.see how lahs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so just came back from chalet on Monday.yeah it was fun.like with everyone then play play play lor.those wacking game and the forfeit thing.quite enjoy lahs.but too bad sunday morning got to get up rather early to settle some stuffs.dun know if its jet lag of what but foer the both days i slept early compared to the rest.i also don't know what time i sleep lahs.i didn't bring my watch on purpose so i can be lost in time.hahas.those carefree lifestlye type.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was the only fun and relax retreat i went for the holidays.the time in NY and San Francisco was hectic and though the festive atmosphere was there but for some reason i feel that the pace was too fast to enjoy anything.but afterall the NY trip was not meant to be a holiday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think i should start to slow down the pace of life to really enjoy life.cos the holidays are going to end.everyone is starting to get worried for the o'level results and starting to speculate the date of release of the results.people say its 9 some say 12,15.yeah those are the dates that i have been hearing.but i dun think i want to predict anything.seriously i don't want to really be bother about the date of release of the result.i dun know why.so wadeva the date of release is lahs.hahas.when its time it will be time.so for now people just relax man.afterall what is done is done.the date of release would not change the result so actually the date of release would not matter at all.so good luck to all.hope everyone get their desired results and get into their desired JC or poly course thet they want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i hope i can blog the part2 of the whole 2 weeks soon.have fun.our holidays are coming to a close byes..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>the whole 2 weeks(part one)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;woah it has been more than 2 weeks since i've posted anything.so i think i shall put an end to it today, right now.initially i wanted to do a write up sort of thing about Miss World.indeed i'ce drafted it out but have not posted it yet.but now the whole miss world fever is gone so yeah.also no mood to post it lahs.in short congrats to Miss Russia.the funny thing about this type of beauty peagent is that you and your country spent alot of time and money on this competition but after that when you win not many people will even remember you after that.like who remembered Zhang Zilin from China to be the winner of Miss World 2007???then after one year you pass the crown to the next miss world and maybe you are forgotten forever.sad man.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;anyway i wanna say thanks to all the christmas present and wishes that i got from you guys.really appreciated it.i really love what you guys gave me.ok before Christmas I went to NY for some show so didn't really had time to blog.so it came rather as a shock for some of you  that i finally changed my mind to go on for the show even though i rejected it a few times before.ok i've been asked many times what is the reason.so i'm gonna tell you now alrights....its mainly a few reason.the listing is in no particular order.i feel that all reasons play an equal an important role in my consideration.(i'm just typing out as i remember)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;1)i miss modelling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;2)Sabrina's pestering was getting on my nerves and i guess if i dun go she'll bother me to death &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;3)i've got some personal things to settle with Jessica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;4)i wanna spend some time alone by myself away from home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;5)the pay&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;6)i miss my MOD friends and want to catch up with them&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;7)more exposure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;8)giving those execs some face lahs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;the reasons should be around there.if i can't think of it now then maybe it is really not important.hahas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;when i go there maybe just maybe it was a wrong decision.for some reason i feel that the atmosphere was just not right.the whole feeling was just different compared to the past.the animosity was definetely there and tensions were high at some time.usually on the last night of our whole trip we would just sit around chat, play those real enjoyable stuff and it is the norm not to sleep till the next morning.however this time it was just different and everyone was someway or another behaving differently form the past.after the show on the last night,after the post show party blah blah blaheveryone started to gather in groups and starting talking those highly sensitive stuffs and at some point of time political in nature.that totally blew me away.i could just feel the tention.in the past we also had different groups of people talking but this time the whole feeling was just so different.every group was just whispering maybe gossiping a little and the whole atmosphere was just tense.there wasn't even a shrill that slince through the stillness of the air.the whole suite was deadly silent except for the occasional cheers of glass mugs.in a way i was rather lost.i don't know if i should feel sad,excited, tense, worried or what.neither do i know what had happen before this trip nor i want to know anything.sometimes in such highly political tense situation it is best not to know what happen and not to be involved at all.which might also be one of the reasons why i came back.but i think the situation has improved so yeah we'll see how but this situation might be a stopping block for me in taking on the next show i guess.yeah but at least i went there settle the jessica issue and i'm glad its over.yeah...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;so on the scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best.putting everything into consideration including fun time,show exposure,new friendship forged,time spent together with old friends and income eared and incentives ii'll rate this whole maybe a 7.5-8.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;ok here's the personal word i've promised Jessica:i know you spent a lot of time trying ways and means to find out what i like, my taste, my style,my likes and dislikes,my love and loathe.trying to reach in for the deeper self.i seriously achknowledge your effort, time and money spent to really like get to me.i opened your present last to really test what you said.at the point of time you were rather right in saying that your present would be the best present that i'll ever received in terms of the physical form.at that point of time i really thought it was true and i mjst admit that i really like it alot.everything you gave me was what i really loved and desire.that was all true until christmas when i came back.my sister gave me a present.and inside it all i see was simplicity and practicality.it made me realise the simplicity in life that i've been missing out sometimes especially when we are in a foreign land doing shows and stuffs.but it can't be helped.we are demanded nth but perfection.everything has to be 100% accurate from the beat we move to the angle we stand to the look we give our poise practically everything.we are expected to give a perfect picture.totally flawless.we are so drum into it that we take that into our lives which it shouldn't be the way.we are missing out an important principle that was said by a top designer:imperfection by itself is perfection.the message that i'm receiving from you is that you are trying to give me a perfect present which you must realise cannot happen.there's is no such thing as a perfect present.in facxt she didn;t even passed the present to me personally how bad can that be.indeed imperfection by itself is perfection.though i must say that your effort spent awes me.from the time planned to the settling of the atmosphere to the differnt type of present given at specific time at a specific place.seriously to me it was perfection.but perfection sometimes become imperfect.though i loved and will treasure every moment of the time spent with you from the start till the the end of that "christmas" you said you want to know whether you gave me the best present then i've got to say sorry u did not give me the best present........sry.at least i prefer what my sister gave me......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;sry just can't continue anymore.will continue next.hopefully it w0uld be soon.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Success</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(sighs...)a sigh of relief.finally the whole project is done.the 96 hrs marathon has proved to be a major success.i wanna thank everyone who helped in one way or another.especially all the assistant and graphic designers.i want to thank the company for giving me such an opportunity to let me take on such a major project and entrusting a large part of it in my hands.i believe that it was a calculated risk well taken.so once again thank you.i also want to say a special thanks to all the so called "calefares"(people who help us run all the errants)thanks for helping us buy our meals and esp our much needed caffeine boost.thanks you guys.u all have been a great helprelax your efforts would not go unnoticed.i'll definitely help you guys make it known.so another BIG THANK YOU to all.love you guys man.u guys were like so accomodative and receiving that i really enjoyed my time working with you guys even though it was very tough.if there is another opprotunity hopefully we can work together again.hopefully through this episode we learn much from each other and hopefully u guys can reach greater heights in your next project.for the next project i doubt i would be working with u guys.but relax u guys got the rest alrights...juz stay together and work together you guys would be fine.i'll await for the next design to be churn out and hey if it really make it big.i'll be most honoured to have it on me at next year's season.only time will tell guys.....for now enjoy your holiday cos its gonna be shortlived.i really wished i could spend more time with you guys and understand u guys a little deeper......i guess we will have the chance...i hope we will...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(anyway there has been a request to paragraph my post properly so i shall.hahas.it was really on that post that the paragrphing was crap.other ones are ok lahs.but thanks anyway)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;so gonna share a little summary of what happen during the that crucial 96 hours that made us and not broke us.hahas.okay the 1st few days was the almost the same in terms of routine.we were all damn freaking tired.seriously i juz collapse in the chair everytime i get to go.OMG.seriously it was pain that i can't soothe at that point of time.as expected we really work till we collapse .hahas.it was a fun experience though.abt the intricate part of the process is deemed as confidential so can't spill the beans.so on day4 where everyone though was on the brink of collapsing we had to "chiong"and some big shot director juz popped in.it was like so totally unexpected.so obviously we got to go home later then planned though it was rather expected.it juz for some reason always happens.so after that clinched the deal got all those  formalities done and blah blah blah.so finally got to go home for a proper rest.some ppl ask me how tiring can designing be??for these 4 days i lost 3kg.even though we were still eating rather normally and those drinks were like laden with milk and sugar.for normal pl that would have gain like uncountable amt of weight but for me(at least my weight dropped)it was that bad okays...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;so friday had a break.went out lors.what else.even not working i received so many phone calls.juz in case u guys were wondering y i didn't pick up your calls??u guys got to understand what is a break kays...obviously i won't received ur calls man.break=no job related stuff or what so eva.i dun even care if its some Milan or NY offer.on this part at least Sabrina u are smart enough not to contact me.hahas.sry can't go out with so many people today.sry got to reject a few of u guys that asked me out.sry man...can't help it.maybe some other time i guess.quote Randy:" I dun know man.I dun know I dun know.I like it but i don't think I love it"(there is some missing link here which would remain as a missing link probably for life)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;so on the way home on the bus i meet a long time friend.hahas.very long did not manage to see him.so caught up with one another.chat through the whole journey.in a way really made my day and put a nice closing to this day.my once in a blue moon off day.hahas.its not as if i want to have so little breaks but no choice man.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt; -life's like this.the things that you want more of it, the less

type='text'>lost...lost...still lost...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;OMG it has been once week since i've last blogged man.i just dun have the mood to blog sia.i really dun know y sia.i dun think its because of my new job.i've been adapting well to the new environment.made quite abit of friends.and so far working has been quite good i think.hahas.who cares abt the working hours lahs.can't even sleep properly man.hias......damn sad sia.its like suppose to be the holidays man.shall just talk abit abt my work progress so far. as the festive season draws near, more and more projects are coming in fast and furious i think i've received another one today.show u guys on monday before we decide whether we want to take that up or not.but i heard the offer price is rather good man.hahas.and i think if we do not double up and start churning out the completed, satisfied designs i think we can forget abt spending christmas and new year or wat eva season man.yeah so the chief designer decided that all shall work 96hrs straight starting from monday-thursday(8/12-11/12) that means we are working during the hari raya holiday on monday too bad for those who planned to go out that day man u already knew this was coming.and he has my support in this alrights.all involved has been contacted and that coffee chain has decided to sponsor all our drinks so all those who need a caffeine kick just show that card and they'll know what to do.please stock up a few shots at a time.we dun want ppl to keep going in and out alrights.we really got to be in high gear for the next 4days alrights.if we can got all the things done by thursday 23.59 +08:00 GMT then friday we will have an off day alights.its a promise to everyone okays...so let's juz go non stop for that 4 days and get everything settled kays??i wanna have tt day off lahs..so let's juz work till we collapse lahs.i think its gonna be fun too.we can stay over at office so no reason to go home to slack okays...we already got the keys..hahas.anyway before I forget, zegna wants us to do a pre-show review and complete the final touches for them.they are rather pleased with what we produced so don't disappoint them alrights...so that would be our first priority on monday morning.anyway repoting time for monday morning willl be 7am.not i say de ok.but no choice.it was instructed by higher authority that over writes what i do so i can't really help u guys man.even i also go to wake up super early even if i hate it ok.so those working on sunday to finish up wat u have left(which i dun know y but wat eva lahs)i advise u to start early and end early cause no one is to stay behind after 5(again it is not what i dictated i'm just merely passing the message in black and white to u ppl)so i dun think any of u all should go clubbing this sunday.if u all want to go get everything done and then go on friday.if u all are confident u all can go book that room first and put the deposit lahs.anyway dun go 1 time will die meh??hahas.anyways i wun be going lahs even if friday we are off.even though currently i dun have anywhere to go on friday yet i still will not go clubbing agains lahs.so dun try to pull there along kays...my fire for such places have died down and i just dun feel like going lahs.even when the MODS come back i will not meet them there anymore lahs even though i know its like some kind of tradition but yeah...just dun feel like going means dun feel like going.i also can't explain man.so that's all abt the jobs lahs anything more monday then ask and discussed lahs.oh yah final thing to note from Zegna:"discard all the good designs we only want the best design on our products.if we want good designs we would not come to you.only the best will do"so people u guys know wat to do on monday lahs.those going back on sunday just follow the instructions in the file u will not go wrong.settle the most urgent one 1st b4 moving on to the Zegna project.can everything ready for mon so when we come in at 7 on monday we can proceed immediately.what eva prep that should be done make sure its done before 5 on sunday or u all just come before 7 on monday which i think u all will want lahs.hahas.good luck man.see u all on monday then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh man i like almost 1 week never talk to my very good online friend liao sia and that person is not online now.maybe is because never talk that's y i never blog.haha.cos that person always gives me the inspiration to blog but now never talk much=never blog lors.ok lahs next time when got the mood then blog again.if that&lt;br /&gt;96 hr marathon thing is a success then maybe i shall blog about it.i really hope that it is a success.wat eva.it has to be a success wad if not we can just pack our things and go back lahs and dun need to come to work anymore.ok lahs dun know wat to talk liao.can't really talk too much abt the projects we are doing due to the high confidentiality so yeah..tt's abt it i think i wanna sleep liao lahs.anyways i just saw a blog tt has my pictures OMG.tks lahs.tks for dedicating that whole portion to me.hahas.byes people....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

type='text'>Injury plague</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;OMG my last finger on my laft hand can't bend now cos its like severly hurt and injured in a way.i've now been in this line for like 4 days and i've already got 3 injuries.OMG.if this goes on i think after this assignment i've be full of injuries and i can juz bid goodbye to modelling forever.like seriously i dun know if i can go back in this state man.if skin graft and regeneration can't improve the situation then i'm in serious trouble man.hahas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;the 1st day already got injury already man.i got "scalded" by some porcelain china sia.like on the 1st day of work.omg.right hand somemore.but in the end i juz ignored it i guess.and i decided to shift the whole breverage tray to the other table.hahas.tks to the caretaker(whatever ur name is i still can't rmb lahs but i will by next week alrights...hahas..)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;ok then the next day got some paper cut.right hand 4th finger.haha.like wat in the world sia.i jus merely touched the edge and the pain juz seared through my whole body sia.it was literally paralising man.but its paper and we got to deal with it all day all nite.so can't juz call another person remove the paper to another place rite??even if it is moved we also got to move to the paper or the paper move to us.so what else but to be careful i think.but thanks for the concern though.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;then luckily the 3rd day no mishaps at all man.i thought there would a drought in this but lo and behold.the 4th day, it came back much bigger, stronger, and the pain this time was killing man.left hand last finger.it was much worse than the first 2 days combined man.i literally had to stop wat eva i was doing for quite a while to let the assistant did wat eva she was doing.walao man.like now i can't even bend that finger now.it slid acorss the teak lahs and it is quite deep i think.when it bled and i bend it, i can see the layers underneath it man cos it slice the skin but the skin was still attach so it now like a flap of skin there underneath the dressing.omg.i hope it would heal fast man.at the most ignore it lahs.haha.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;anyway another new assitant smsed me tt she finally know that all jobs are tough man.hahas.(didn't i told u in the previous post.hahas)but to all people working out there, be it part time, full time , no time or wateva time juz go there and complete what u r suppose to complete man.juz go there and enjoy the process think about the good stuffs and not dwell on the not so pleasant things.take those unpleasant events as a stepping stone towards ur next goal and juz dun commit the same "offense" twice??hahas.tt's my only advise to those who got a job but dun really like it.juz persevere man and in no time its gonna be over and u'll miss it in the future.hahas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

not in the zone so yeah i can only blog when i have the feel man.so yeah juz to inform u guys as a rather responsible blogger.hahas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeah now i'm in to designing.yeaps no modelling this time rounds man.and designing is real tough.actually all jobs are tough man.no job in the world is easy man no matter how high or how low the pay is.that is for sure.but i guess if u put in your heart, body, mind, soul, blood, sweat, and of course passion then i guess u'll forget all the sufferings along the way.and enjoying all the fruits after the labour would be the most rewarding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i've just ran out or creative juice(all used up in work today)so i guess i shall stop here.b4 i blabber some nonesense.hahas.byes....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

type='text'>Dedication Post</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;this post is specially crafted for someonE.for the others, there would be a HUGE proportion of it being an inside sort of thing so if u don't really understand its ok.its meant to be that way anyway.haha.its for someone that was there when i needed anyone the most.though i was not at rock bottom at that point of time, i was nearly there but thankfully there was someone to prevent me from sliding further into the pits.in fact the person lifted my spirits up a little and probably made my day.haha.i won't and shan't tell u who is it.the only person that i feel should know about it is the person who played a part in it and that person would definitely know about it.afterall u said its my character that i want to let only those involved know about what is going on yeah?so if u know what that statement is and remembered telling me that most probably the person is you.haha.its ok if u don't immediately get it now.haha.i'll still inform u about it no matter what.for the rest of u have fun guessing but i won't tell u who is it at all and i'll leak out nothing about whom i'm refering to.if u ask me, i'll just say "maybe" OR "i don't know leh" even if u really get the correct answer.its meant to be MYSTERIOUS and this mystery can only be known by one.hahas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok now for the post proper.i just want to say a BIG thank you to u.thanks for being there for me when u I needed someone just to talk to and share my "problems"(as what u said)haha.it was real fun chatting with u and i seriously enjoyed it a lot like i wished it would be forever but so sad u got to leave EARLY but i'm perfectly fine with it.cause for things that u really enjoy, just a bit would do wonders and for me it really did.haha.i believe after that conversation we had, both of us understand each other much better and i'm certain that u got the CLEARER and BIGGER picture.hahas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i believe u were the first one to read the post what hit me the hardest was that U immediately responded to it and by how u responded.ur 1st reply was like the super main thing but u thought it was not.OMG.hahas.i guess that is what people call the pure innocence of things.u don't think it is but it actually is.hahas.cool man.that was like the ONLY remedy at that point of time and u gave it to me.thanks man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hopefully what we discussed can really come true man.though NOT totally impossible i believe it gonnA be a bit tough.but i guess if both sides are

type='text'>My thoughts...My wishful thinking...hahas</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;ok.its gonna get random.i'm really not in the zone man.feeling a little down and i dun know why.sighs....maybe its because i dun know when is the next time i'm gonna go out again.(i believe its gonna be a long time before i going out again man)anyway after going out to so many places so many times for the past week i still dun really have that feel man and have yet to fully wanted to accomplish wat i wanna do.what should i do?!?!hais.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;for the benefit of those who asked my y i wanna and like to go out so much, the main reason y i wanna go out is not to spend money(since i dun have that much to start with),not to run away from home, not even juz to go out just for fun.actually all i want is juz to talk to somebody(erm..its free, simple, easy and everyone can do it unless u can't talk then that's a different story)and to spend time with my friends since i've not much time left.isn't that the reason y i gave up all the shows and appearances this year??but somehow things are not as smooth sailing as i hope it would be and things are just not happening.i don't know whether it will happen but i'll be positive about it yeah? :)that's about the only thing i can do rites??so to soften the mood around here i shall give u an analogy which i've juz thought off just in case some of u are wondering what in the world i'm talking about.i'll keep it simple.ok here is the situation.i've got a lot of things in my pockets.they are filled to the max sometimes they even overflow and fall out.sometimes i forget all about it and sometimes i just carry them in the palms of my hand.i can't say that they are all high end "feel good"products that gets everyone high.but there are some of them.some are juz neutral but there are hardly any negativity in any of them.but i can definitely confirm something that is they are all rather close to my inner self that i dun mind sharing as long as......lol.anyway back to the analogy,i'm walking down a street called life and i'm actively searching for someone to whom i can share these with.i've been creating opportunities for them to be shared,always i get so close sometimes as close as on the verge of going to share it then just when i thought it is picture perfect,there is always an unexpected turn of events that just change the whole event and i just got to take them in my stride,retreat back and continue to look for new opportunities.i don't mind to try to share it again with the people that i've tried before but did not succeed.i always believe in letting bygones be bygones and not dwell on the unpleasant past and the failures of the past.so yeah tt's abt it.the bottom line is i just need to find someone whom i can share my thoughts accompanyed by the perfect atmosphere to pour everything out in case u are wondering, they are not negative things at all.haha.the prob is always the atmosphere juz make it so not possible for me to do anything.anyway if any of u have heard anything?(esp the MODs if u know wat the MOD stands for then probably u guys are the ones i'm refering to.haha), u have heard nothing abt it lahs cause i've not told anyone anything about it.haha.furthermore u guys are in Madrid now.have fun and put on the show as if its gonna be your last.haha.i juz wonder who shall hear it 1st........searching, searching and still searching.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;sry tt this is rather boring.i really juz don't have that feel now man.and i said its gonna be random.haha.next post will be on my new assignment.haha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Jonathan Taylor OR Jonathan Tay lor</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Before I start on anything, its bye bye to Melody Chauzee(u'll get it later as u read on.haha).we shall see u back in 10 days when u come back.haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok so i went out twice to orchard in the last few days.one on wednesday and one on friday.i shall juz blog about the friday one.the wednesday one shall remain a secret to those who went.haha.ok i went to centrepoint to settle some personal stuffs then i went to meet my friends.woah then sue had to go home like so fast.haha.but i guess its ok.we can meet another time.then in the end we decided to watch a show.OMG the show is super pathetic man.action was above average, story line was average, the gore was rather sick and the ending was the worse one i've ever seen in my life!it was like so super sudden and it juz left the whole story hanging in the air.what the crap man.the gore was like...ok so they kidnapped that guy and tied his individual fingers to the table then some terrorist used a hammer to smash his fingers.they really did show the smashed finger with the blood and his finger nail gone.i think this part was captured quite well it was sudden and impactful.haha.alrights enough abt the movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok then after that we went to eat fish and co.it was fun lahs.ting yong crapped with the singer.he was like asking who is Nigel then that ting yong go raise his hand and go crap with that guy.yeah so most of us ordered fish and chips lah(what else rite??)ok now for the link to the title for this post.we were like chatting then melody was like saying she went to see my blog then she asked the origins for the blog address.she was like asking:"eh tay ur blog add is it jonathan taylor or jonathan tay lor"i was like amuzed for a while.i seriously did not consider the latter as a possibility.but it made me realised that is very possible.so my blog address is like a fusion now.those who want to have the western feel can interpret as jonathan taylor and to add a tinge of local flavour it can be read as jonathan tay lor.haha.that's what i like about meeting people and making new friends man.they juz widen your horizon and u get to see many things at many different angles.so yeah treasure your friends out there and value them for what they are and u will juz find that they are actually very wonderful people.seriously like she was the 1st one who asked me that so yeah thanks for asking man.haha.anyway for those of u that are wondering, it was actually meant to be jonathan taylor and not jonathan tay lor.but it doesn't matter man which ever way u interpret it is fine with me. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then melody has to go home cause she is flying the next day so we sent her off with some one.(Shhss......)then the rest of us juz slack at the mrt station and talk a little.then everyone juz went home(this part is boring.shan't blogged abt it too much.)In summation we juz didn't go home immediately alrights...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for me the fun part was the after hours man.haha.in the tranqility,serenity and quiteness of the night or should i say morning.i happen to sent a goodbye message to melody,which i did not expect her to reply on that day itself(that was like 12.30+),but apparently she did.i was like shouldn't u be sleeping u got a plane to catch tmr man.haha.so we juz chat on phone for a while then went online and keep each other company till abt 3 i think.we joked abt the Taylor thing again.then she said she shall change her name to Melody Chauzee.haha.she told me to call her that.so yeah haha.then i tink she went to play CS.haha.so random.For that day i think i enjoyed the chatting the most bahs.hahas.for some reason i like chatting online.haha.maybe its for the feeling of nostalgia i guess.who knows??who cares??all i know is that i enjoy the company of my friends.haha.yeah for some reason i got bombarded by a wave of conversation towards the end.hey it only one me.u can't expect me to reply to everyone instantly rite??yeah so that was practically how my day went.what i was happy was that it ended on a high man.endings of everything is like super super important.it can make u forget all the sadness that occured earlier or it can also make u forget all the happiness that u've received earlier.yeah so no matter what, end everything on a high.WOOTS.....GET HIGH!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Post Prom</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;So the event overran like any other event.too bad we got to vacate the place for wateva reason.so tooks pics with a few of other friends.sorry Pearl can't take with u the final pose.(u lah come down so late)but i guess its ok.haha.yeah so after that the real fun begins.we lagged for a while before deciding to watch a midnite movie.it appeared to be a struggle for a few ppl to make their way there.(i shan't tell u the reason)but we eventually made it there safe and sound except for some aching feet all else was fine.so we were there abt 11+ and watch Madasgascar 2(MOVE IT!) at 12.50 and we went there late.btw those time Evers played some free com games while I enjoyed a few rounds of pool.Sue was pro man she was leading me at 1st OMG but in the end i won.haha.then they played some "spot the difference game"and Melody also pointed to the "same spot"(censored)and it appears that it was always correct.haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another startling news was Sue saw her primary school teacher.she said he was gay.(maybe he dun like her then she got jealous so she called him gay)haha.but it was cool to finally see teachers coming out to have their own life at night man.maybe the perceptions of teachers have changed over time.who say teachers can't party and have night life??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recommend u guys to watch Madagascar 2, the message behind it is very strong.For the best effect, get a group of best friends, watch it and MOVE IT! based on personal experience, u will feel more for your friends, learn to treasure them much more and value all the memorable times u guys spent together.u will realise that they are indispensible and most of the happy times u had is with your friends.u guys laugh together, cry together, work together etc.u might get emo after the movie and have a don't feel like leaving u guys feel but with that aside you would definitely enjoy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another shocking incident happen during the movie.when we went in i saw Janielson and his friend.OMG.it was like so coincidence.we did not even plan it and of all people we were sitting together.this is what i call real fate man.haha.so sad u guys going to the airport to ur friends.hey Jan dun feel sad abt someone not coming man.maybe u just got to have the extra special touch.u still got time.but if u do not manage to get it, its ok man there are many out there.so after the movie we took a special photo and Jeremy finally show us what happen to his hair.haha.its ok.it will grow back in no time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we went down and I was forced to do some catwalk but luckily they didn't succeed.haha.hey no catwalk in public man especially when there are so many people looking.so paiseh lah.like so many people looking.haha.so in the end we took some photos.(I'll keep those photos 4eva man)Sue's pose as xiao ting was cute lahs.that was like abt 3 am??so i understand some people can't really function properly.haha.but i'll still keep it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then came the hardest and the most painful part-bidding goodbye&lt;br /&gt;OMG.i really wish that was not needed but sighs...we got say goodbye afterall.hey i might be appearing that there was nothing on the surface but inside i was bleeding alrights....but i didn't cry lah.i'll really miss u guys man.luv u guys 4eva.so we just parted ways.the girls had a stay over so the rest just return to their respective homes.then even before i could get into the taxi i receive a phone call for a moment i thought it was my parents but luckily it was not.about the contents of the phone call i'll keep it a secret.haha.its only between the 3 of us.the call came as a shock but i really enjoyed it.hey people relax man we can and must do this again.i heard one of u guys are planning for the next trip.i'll be looking forward to it man.i should be free everyday except 15-19 dec(most probably).i'll be patiently waiting.for now have fun during the holidays man.it might seem like 2 mths but i tell u it would disappear in a blink of an eye.rmb how we countdown our 0 levels we tout 2 mths was a long time but soon we realised it like here.so treasure the free time.most probably after this hols some of us would lose contact for some reason(i hope we don't), go our own ways, have a new grp of friends and soon we would just start to drift further and further apart.finding back such times would take a great deal of effort.yeah so i'm i to treasure all of u guys man.byes....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Prom</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;left a bit later than planned so someone had to wait for about an extra 20 min?but nvm thanks for the smooth journey anyway.i always enjoy ur drive mostly because u speed.haha.anyway the delay happens to be a blessing in disguise.when i was at Goodwood Park then i receive an sms from Eugene.haha.he was like behind me what a coincidence man.but he arrived before the"latest arrival time allowed".yeah like there was a quite a few of my friends already there at the entrance like hardo, ernest, kok, ken, quint, and some others.the thing obviously didn't start on time.yeah took many photos with all my friends it was cool man finally seeing all of us out of school having the freedom to express ourselves in what ever way we wanted.yeah so as expected some girls were dressed in a pretty &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;hot&lt;/span&gt; manner.but yeah they are all my friends &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;hot&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span style="color:#66ff99;"&gt;not hot&lt;/span&gt;.who cares??our friendships are &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;HOT&lt;/span&gt; that is what that matter the most.yeah that is what that is important man.i dun think i would be posting any photos.i deemed those as secrets and sacred and i believe those that should have the photos already has it.yeah so we started off with some games though we did not win but it was fun with me and kok solving the puzzle.then the food came.the food was average(like what can u really expect from $55 rite??)and after that i got sabo by my grp of friends.u guys screemed so loudly.haha.but yeah it was fun doing the cat walk thing.but hey thanks for the support man.so actually missed quite a number of food because of that.then there was a song by Mr Sashi and Mr Sameul Lim.our two talented and comical PE teachers.i think Sashi cried when his class when towards him man.but i can see that his class was very united no matter what which is something that we all can learn about.so after that saw some class videos then the prom was over.but for some of us the end of the prom signals the start of our own party.haha.yeah but before that we all start taking photos again.yeah and Pearl all your crazy ideals of taking 222 photos of us.too bad we didn't succeed in that.so we missed our last shot.i was looking forward to ur final idea man.but hey i guess there will be next time bah.but i still want to know what was ur final crazy idea man.hope u had a great fun taking randoms at Orchard.haha.yeah took some photos with my ex classmates man.u guys were very touching.Damen and JK i'll remember our fun times crapping at the back of the class creating lame jokes about everything and anything.haha.i'll miss those times man.so just slacked around the hotel since our hotel idea didn't take off so i went off with another grp and party.heard that e4 wanted to go clubbing but in the end change to KTV.i'm sure u guys had fun.though the event alone wasn't fun by itself but with all the school mates it just brings alive the whole thing.after all that is what prom is for rite??seeing each other for the last time, celebrating the end of exams and bidding goodbye to everyone.its sad but its a life process i guess.......(not so emo already.maybe the truth has already start to set in.- the is always an end to a party no matter how much we want to avoid it- Sighs....)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Anyway upon further consideration i decided to blog about after prom in the next post.the things there are just too close to my heart so i wanted to dedicate i post just for it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div
