Memories...

in life it is impossible to please everyone. You just do what u can with what u have where u are and do your best.
i learnt that since jc odac, and these days, that sentence has often come back into my mind.
Bike Quest has finally come to a conclusion, was really glad that things went smoothly and the project was a success..most important is that people had fun and enjoyed themselves, which means a lot to me. Had a lot of fun talking trash with junie, yuimin and don at our station haha..
did a lot of reflections on thurs and fri night, when i was feeling kinda down. One of those nights when you look back and realize how much you have sacrificed but yet you still can change certain things.
Hock actually studied for 3 straight hours just now..haha can you believe it? dun wanna lag too much for my PS readings
i realize a lot of my friends around me are kinda down these few days as well..and i really mean A LOT..some show it, some dun..However xian we all may be, let us take comfort and consolence in the fact that we are in the same shit together yeah :p
true friends go thru adversities together

todae 3 things happen which made hock a happy man.
first of all, i was actually on time for a lecture, the first time in 3 weeks and the first time in 2005 haha
second lady luck was on my side and i managed to win traditional games dai di! haha..couldnt believe the cards i had todae..was superb
third i had quite a good Sports Cell meeting..attendance was not bad, delegation of responsibilities was there..and basically more or less the group of us there are all fufilling our roles well..everyone had various responsibilities and could tell they felt more unity as a cell..very happy to see that.
this is the mother week of all meetings..last sat was OM, mondae was Beach Volleyball meeting, todae wednesdae was Sports Cell meeting, tom thurs is FOP meeting, Fri is Arts Camp meeting
i dun think i ever had so many such meetings in my life in one short week haha..glad things are more or less moving quite smoothly though..ifg has been a constant headache for me but now that i got Kumar onboard, and he 's damn steady lah, i feel more at ease..
was tuitioning my kid halfway and almost felt asleep a no of times..ended up blabbering nosense on some occasions..haha, and taught some wrong stuff..but the kid look sleepy as well..maybe next time we should just lock e door and sleep for one and a half hours together..tuition is xiong, but i need e money to try and support myself..feels good earning my own income also
corrine called again to ask me whether i m interested in doing some business together with her boyfren..keen on e idea but sadly i dun have the time now..maybe when i m year 3 haha~
enjoy wed 's ps lect v much, with so many people like jia jia, joy, alvin, xuzi, song kwang, jianwu..haha certainly makes studyin more interesting
Tuesday, January 25, 2005
yest sun night i didnt sleep for the entire night..i sat down and brushed up on my 2nd Arts Camp proposal from bout 2 am all e way till morning 8 am..and i didnt even take a 5 min break..This is some thing which i learnt about myself over the years..sometimes when i m so carried away with my passion for something, i m like in my own world, oblivious to a lot of other things. haha, maybe thats why i m not good at multi-tasking
i feel a bit funny these few days, esp when i m alone, like now, in the quiet of the night. Dunno how to describe how i m feeling, coz its really funny..like something stirring beneath me..hmmm.. i took out some stuff from the past and read them, thinking a lot...but at the same time, not sure whether i shud be thinking about these stuff
haha..what am i talking about.............
heh, have given up trying to say that i m tired, coz that seems to be a norm these days..

SATURDAE
had a long and fruitful OM with e 25th..kudos to xuzi and sining for putting in so much time, effort, sweat and tears for Arts Bash. Everybody's starting to feel the heat and stress..so we must all support each other k? :p
a lot of people have been asking me..so just wanna clarify 2 things: firstly, i m not gay. secondly, most people dun see, but alvin did some things which really really touched me a lot a lot..
feeling the effects of the past few daes and nites..i was so tired and lethargic that when i reached home at eight plus, i slept all the way till sunday morning
FRIDAE
slept for onli 4 hours plus and reached school by noon in preparation for Arts Bash at rouge. Was going to be a big night for all of us, and of coz xuzi. Everytime before a big project, there s always this hmm..how should i put it..an atmosphere of anticipation, tension and excitement? it kinda reminds me of army daes, that kind of feeling you get before a battalion full-troop exercise..when u are just there..waiting for the siren to sound...And then once it sounds, people running here and then, shouting instructions..loading logistics, weapons, ammo, supplies..preparing the tanks..the armoured vehicles..the recce bikes.
anyway, preparations for the bash went well..whatever we could have done we had done. Programs went well..Chonghan was a fantastic MC..it s never easy to be an MC at a bash event coz the crowd tends to be more reserved. (esp before the booze comes in) The Rouge admin was totally FUCKED UP and went back a lot on their previous agreements and words. It sure wasnt easy for e all of us that night.
i was personally pissed with 2 fuckers that night. i was carrying some stuff with alvin and we had to pass thru a lot of people. Got this fucker said mockingly in my face SORRY!! as we passed by him. DUN EVER FUCKING TRY THAT WITH HOCK. Maybe that asshole was drunk. Its so easy to mock at someone when he has his hands full of boxes and shit. I thought about going back to find him when i finished my log stuff, but tot it was quite pointless, esp when i m have a lanyard around my neck saying Arts Bash Crew.
then got this other fucker after the previously mentioned fucker. Again i was going to collect log stuff. This was this little space where we both had to walk past each other. And both of us didnt want to give way to the other, so we basically shoved our way past each other. After which we both looked very hard and stared at each other. u know, what people call diao3..try that on me when i m not representing Arts Club..u ll get very different results :)
When you are representing an organization, you have to curb your natural animal instincts, no matter how pissed you are.
on another note, Arts Bash brought back a lot of personal memories for me...so much that it disturbed me for the whole night....my mind went back to the previous Arts Bash 2..where all these images just keep flashing past me...got me a bit emotional..i suddenly remembered a lot a lot of things. I remembered that i was wearing black that night as well..i remembered i was doing bouncer duty as well..i remembered sitting at that big staircase talking with Chonghan and Xuzi about matters of the heart, with 2 jugs of long island by our side...i remembered feeling confused that night..i remembered being dragged aside and sitting on the table with you outside the club, and then on the railings..i even remembered the things we said.....
so much has happened since the last bash......
THURSDAE
am glad e issues bothering me bout the arts camp com is cleared up after a long talk. Went China Black at night for PRU bash with my Chen Shui Bian friends. haha..we waited for over an hour before we could go in, and it was like super super packed. But the music is good as usual, so e crowds are always assured.
There was this fucking fat guy who stubbornly want to squeeze onto the podium when it was fucking obvious that it was packed. That he was sweaty, sticky and takes up a lot of space didnt help. Me and lynette were like so disgusted with him, but haha..eventually we did have quite some fun on the podium...but somehow e mood not there leh..perhaps coz i didnt drink much and also coz we waited like so long. Partied till like 4 am..when i reached home still had to settle some admin stuff before i popped into bed at 5 am.
btw, SOME FUCKER MESSED WITH MY WIFE. i parked my wife earlier in the day at the LT11 carpark and when i returned to it in the evening, my entire left mirror was lying broken on the ground, so now i only have one right mirror. But in any case, now i can squeeze in between vehicles much faster and easier coz only one mirror.

phewwwww....i realized how tired i was when i couldnt wake up this morning and had a slight sore throat.
another dae of long work..another late nite..i can count myself lucky if i can get 6 hours of sleep everynite. Now really like part-time student man..haha
today when i was at meeting, my tuition student called me to tell me that he had lost his homework. The conversation went something like this:
Zibin: Teacher!! i lost the english vocab homework u gave me!
Me: How come homework can get lost wan?
Zibin: I also dunno! Teacher..how?? (pitiful voice)
Me: Cannot be lah, last time you also said you lost yr hw, but in the end also found it.
Zibin: But teacher...... (even more pitiful voice)
Me: Say one more shit soldier, and i ll lay e smackdown on ya candid ass!!
haha, of coz i didnt say the last line, but anyway later on, when i arrived at his place, he told me he suddenly (or miraculously) found his vocab exercises again. Needless to say, it was all blank.
kids nowadays....................u know they are trying to outsmart you, but u also very hard to outsmart them esp coz their parents are on their side. i rem there was one student last year (a sec 3 guy) when i screwed him and then he complained to his mum, and the very next dae i was sacked! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH..of coz terminated my services in a very nice tone..
Monday, January 17, 2005
time now is 5 am..i am still in clubroom haha..what a long nite, esp after coming back from tiger cup final at kallang stadium..manz, it was great to see the kallang wave and the kallang roar back in singapore again. Today s atmosphere and everything reminded me of the malaysia cup days..
i was lucky to have witnessed those fond footballing days when singapore was at its peak with fandi ahmad leading the way. I remember watching singapore vs selangor, kedah, pahang, and a lot of other teams..haha, in those days e crowd was always so passionate and full of fire..i dare say even more than tonight's crowd
heh heh..i was also lucky to have gotten in the stadium quite fast..there were all these barricades and basically in e end everybody starting pushin down the barricades and rushed in by waves..haha..anyway was glad singapore won, but somehow not esctatic..perhaps coz we more or less had the match sewn up within the first 20 minutes when singapore scored.
REASONS WHY U SHOULD RIDE A BIKE:
1. While others have a big problem parking their cars around the stadium, you basically just zoom up the pavement and the kerb and park anywhere u want. Or u could try the grass. :p
2. In the event that u cant get a last min ticket, u could just go back to where u parked yr bike, (which of coz is v near u), hop on, not waste time and move on to someone's house where u can catch e action on tv.
3. Riding together with hundreds of other bikes is a wonderful feeling which i only experienced todae. Trust me, it feels wonderful and great. Like a whole big battalion of knights riding to war. (haha, i think its a guy thing)
4. You could squeeze your way in between all e cars and be on your way home from the stadium in a jiffy, while others spend an hour waiting for the crowd and traffic to clear up.
5. You could send a babe back home on wheels. (haha too bad huiling, i purposely didnt want to bring my spare helmet heh!)
6. You could head down nicoll highway, go up selegie road, turn into bukit timah, turn left to clementi, come back into nus. And basically do whatever shit you want to do haha!
HAHA, ok ok i m beginning to talk trash. i need to slllleeeeeppppppppppppppppppp.

hocky is a happy man tonite because.............
(1) i had a good good sleep e previous night, something which i realli needed haha yayyyy
(2) i cleared up a lot of my handphone bills and starhub scv bills, and updated myself on my own financial status..and i am glad to report to myself that even though i still owed erhem $100 plus for my hp bills (but thats beside the point) i am in a healthy state of financiality. heh heh.. well, at least financially things are going according to plan. Bike instalments only left 3 months payment yahooooo!! Tuition wise i m pocketing a healthy sum. At this rate, i should be able to get married by 23.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!!!!
(3) i had a fantastic yummy dinner with stevie, ning ning, and suzi at swensens..treated myself to some pizza and of coz orgasmic dessert..but no tiramisu at swensens leh basket. So i settled for some sticky chewy chocolate which was ok lah..now and then it feels good to treat yrself to some soothing chocolates and desserts haha
(4) United won convincingly against liverpool!! Great victory with only ten men (though this happiness was offset with chelsea winning 2-0 against spurs, spurs suck tonite)
(5) Mum cooked a fantastic lunch haha..always look foward to weekend lunchs cooked by my mum..though i never told her that before..
(6) i realize Arts Bash and PRU Bash is next week and incoming liao!! haha..foresee v fun chionging sessions coming up
(7) i met up with haojie and jingxiang yest nite..haha! and i realize how fortunate i am to have oredi ORDed from the army, and having so much fun and independence in my life. Life begins at ORD man..
which brings me to one thought. I always hear comments now and then about how 21 year guys our age dun behave like 21 years old at all and are so childish. There is a difference, a real big difference between being childish, and being playful. Real maturity comes from within one's inner self. A lot of guys, esp after ORDing, can be very notti and playful, or talk a lot of rubbish on the SURFACE, but can be very mature in their thoughts and inner beliefs, outlook towards life etc. Such things others often dun see from the outside.
i also do believe that a lot of guys prefer to be more laid back, relak, and let out their fun-loving side after experiencing army life. NS in a lot of ways, forces you to grow up, to experience life in highly stressful environment and situations, and generally can create a lot of vengeance, pressure. And in fact, most guys choose not to let that serious side of them come out esp after ORD. Whats e point? :p
So never mistake playfulness for immaturity or childishness. (although i do admit that i dun speak for all 100 percent guys.)
i promise to sleep tonight with a smile on my face to end off a happy day and night. :p

happy birthdae rush!! so glad that our group Chen Shui Bian still meets up now and then even when school starts haha..way to go man.. :p dinner at munchie monkeys was good..
i was lying on my bed resting after my tuition when i received a call from Ridhwan asking me to go supper. hahahaha, i flew down all e way to Bedok esp coz Rudy was there!!!! Finally we meet up ahahhaha!! It was great talking cock and arts camp stuff with the 3 of them plus Big Ben till like 2 am. Thanks guys, realli appreciate all e advice u old men gave me..heh
i feel much much more confident about Arts Camp after talking to them. I now have a much more concrete idea and plan as to how the route to Arts Camp will flow, and i feel really really happy and excited about this.
Arts Camp is like a big jigsaw puzzle to me where i am trying to piece together the pieces bit by bit, day by day.
Thursday, January 13, 2005
Time now is 2:44 am and i just finished doing mc work. Going to sleep soon..YAWNNNN..but some thoughts before i do..
well, first 3 days of school has passed. A mixture of feelings. Was great to see so many familiar faces and friends once again, esp people like joy, david, pru frenz, all e arts club affiliates..haha
work wise it has been xiong, very very xiong for me. I m not kidding when i say that. Bash booth and publicity, Bike Quest stuff, SRC meeting and arrows, IFG, weekly run and ifg recruitment drive, sub-com shirt, Futsal Open, and of coz Arts Camp. Little things here and there add up to huge loads, but at least i feel happy and a great sense of satisfaction when coordinating and helping out all these projects.
most people dun see what others do behind the scenes, with so much work being done by these people.
oh well, i can only afford to say so much today, damn tired man..i need a good sleep
Tuesday, January 11, 2005
call me bias, but i dun give a fuck, hwa chong orientation is still the best of all the jcs :p esp the campfire night..going back made me relive all those happy memories that i had when i first entered jc orientation..
i remembered how excited i was when all e fireballs started flying down into the main campfire last time..all e fire, e lighting, the electrifying atmosphere, the hwa chong huang cheng, e songs, the mass dance...no jc can beat hcjc orientation..i dun think they even come close.
going back made me feel so much younger again haha..i m like 5 years older than them now, even though i dun look like i am hahahaha. the joy of innocence, teenagehood (esp before u enter army) is beautiful....
the atmosphere was fantastic, absolutely fantastic.i certainly got a lot of motivation, ideas, and inspiration for arts camp from hwa chong orientation.
sometimes in life, u have to take a step back in order to move 2 steps ahead.
havent blog for a few days, coz i was so tied up that i didnt even have the time or energy to blog haha..
i loved the visit to spca..and it was there and then when i realized my true love is still with cats rather than dogs..yeah i m more of a cat man hahaha..i was like inside the cat arena for most of e time..its such a wonderful feelin to be around a litter of like 9 cats??!! HAHAHA! and i realize diff cats have very diff personalities..which become very evident when there s a whole big group of them together..anyway i think i was kinda lost in my own world inside playing and stroking all the cats there and then. there was a point when one of the kitties jumped into my lap while i was sitting there, and just cuddled up to me, haha...damn sweet lah..
it was a great feeling..something i have never experienced in my 21 years of life. Just being there alone with 9 cats surrounding you. I m not kidding, time realli stood still for me. I could practically stay there e whole dae if i could. Felt so de-stressed, blissful, and at peace when i m stroking and fooling around with them haha..
i think cats have a very wonderful character which a lot of people dun appreciate. They may not seem so enthu as compared to dogs but they show their affection in diff ways. Rubbing against you, purring, laying on their back for u to scratch their stomach..
i read somewhere that cats are just like women. The more u try to purposely get the cat's attention by cajoling or trying to catch it, the more it wud ignore u. The more relak and bochup you are, the more the cat wud come up by itself to cuddle you. haha, how interesting.
i m def going back to that haven for me. i miss my little frenz there oredi. :p
Friday, January 07, 2005

A lot of them put make up and dress until very nice nice..heh, i used to think that arts girls were power enuff, looks like there may be a higher divine order...they realli set e standard man. oh saw a lot of long-lost frenz again haha..Adrian, Big Merv who were my rugby frenz, and leonard!! haha u fucker, didnt know you know suzi..what a small world man.
hmmm..maybe i shud take an exchange program to smu for 1 sem..HAHAHAHAH!! :p
went back to hwa chong jc with yan yan after that..to see some e orientation programmes and teachers. Had a long chat with mr teh haha..great to see yr old teachers once in a while. I feel so old when i went back..man, its like the classes now start with 05!! when i was in 00A13!!
haha..didnt get to see my junior class yet..i might go back for the campfire tom nite..actually e main purpose of going back is also to recce for potential ideas, games, or programmes for Arts Camp. heh heh..i jotted down a few stuff..

mambo nite coming! ahaha..steady lah..time to rock and roll lah
spent the afternoon at clubroom with alvin. Happy coz i cleared a lot of my work which i need to settle and delegate. Bike Quest banners settled liao also..this means i can finally have a day time relaxing at home! gosh..cant believe it man hahaha..
oh i brought my wife to have a good meal too. Changed her engine oil, now she s all purring with delight once again. Fixed her right eye, so now she can blink properly again when turning right. Kneadled and caressed her tender erhem..hands (what were u thinking of?) so now i can finally switch her on and off properly.
felt good after that. haha, actually this kind of feeling is hard to describe also. Its kind of a cross between the feeling u get after getting a good shit in the toilet and the fufillment from devouring a nice tiramisu?
heh heh..either way it just feels good lah, having given your wife a good treat now and then.
speaking of tiramisu........
IMPORTANT NOTICE!! ==> TIRAMISU MUDPIE AT NYDC IS NOT EQUAL TO A REAL TIRAMISU CAKE!! A MUDPIE = A BIG ICE-CREAM. I WAS FOOLED!!!!! GASP, DUN FALL INTO THE SAME TRAP AS ME!! ENDED UP EATING A BIG ICE-CREAM WHICH DOES NOT EVEN HAVE ANY TIRAMISU TASTE!! BAH!!
nmind, i shall have my revenge. heh.
everyday i get mahjong offers. Damn tempting man..but i must control more. lotsa stuff to be done which ranks more importantly than mahjong.
my brother s not feeling well...he had a high fever..alamak..and he lost his hp recently. Anyone got spare hp can loan me..think he needs it for the time being..thanks and appreciate it.
Tuesday, January 04, 2005
haha..and i thought i could have a peaceful week before school starts..looks like i m wrong.
went for bike quest meeting yest morning, it was good. haha, the event is proceeding much smoother than i thought. Cant wait for it man, and beach volleyball as well. Gearing up for 2nd sem man woohoo....not looking foward to all the ifg stuff though..just cleared a ifg deadline for bowling..our bowlers are all set for glory haha
thurs got booth duty at smu..fri got visit to spca plus recceing at nite..sat might be going to watch singapore in tiger cup final..haha before that, calling all of u reading this: MAMBO NIGHT ON WEDNESDAY!! BLOODY HELL IF WE COULDNT MAKE IT TO THE LAST MAMBO OF 2004, LETS MAKE IT FOR THE FIRST MAMBO OF 2005 STEADY OR NOT!!??!! HAHHAHA..SHOULD HAVE LESSER PEOPLE ESPECIALLY WHEN ALL U NTU AND SMU PPLE ARE STUDYING HEH HEH HEH :p
watched phantom of the opera yest nite..and reached home quite late. Surprising refreshing for me, i tot i wud be sleeping thru the movie.
i realized one thing after last night.
i am so much more happy and comfortable being single at the moment. Something held me back. A very wierd feeling. A combination of tiredness, reminicising, past events, emotions. Words are hard to describe how i feel.
i dun think i want to settle down yet. i m realli happpy with the way things are in my life now.
gerard if u r reading this, i think i m beginning to understand how u feel in the past now.
Whats on

i came here to vent my frustrations. UGH.
oac gathering was nice..han thanks for yr hospitality and yr place! Appreciate it bro..haha the potluck dinner was great, lotsa good food...nice to see so many of your old friends again..when school sem starts, we ll prob have little time to catch up again unfortunately.
thinking of what to bid for my modules for the whole afternoon..now at 3 am i am still deciding on e last 2 modules, and its making me quite irritated, especially when i have a bike hike meeting tom morning and bash booth duty at ntu in the afternoon. Getting very tired of this bidding shit.
maybe i m just in need of more sleep.
4 letters to vent my frustration: FUCK.
Saturday, January 01, 2005
this is for all like-minded tiramisu fans like me:
tiramisu at starbucks not v good, taste too soft, much too soft. But you get quite a huge serving for only $5 plus.
tiramisu at munchie monkie's was even worse. Not worth mentioning.
anyone who has info on nice tiramisu lobangs in Singapore please let me know, thanks.
the fascination continues..........
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!! ITS 2005 A BRAND NEW YEAR!!! :p
haha..this is my first blog of the year..and i have so much to say...just came back from a mini-countdown with the mc people..we went marina drank a little, and chilled out..watch movie..i definitely prefer this kind of celebration with friends rather than packing myself like a sardine at some countdown party..and tom s oac celebration and gathering! haha..very much looking foward to it.
mc chalet was great, wonderful. :p only 2 sore points: 1) it kept raining and i only spent less than an hour at the beach in the water!!!! ughhhh 2) this one u all shud know..i cant bring myself to say it, bah!
overall it was a good bonding session for all of us i feel..finally feel that we are behaving more as a com and having lotsa fun together instead of just work work and more work.. the 6 hour ktv marathon was shiok, as was the bbq, esp when everything is free hahahah!! pity we couldnt stay for another dae. And of coz, all the events which happened esp on the 2nd nite, hahahahaha xuzi and chonghan, way to go man!!!
i always feel very very happy and joyous when my friends get attached. haha, xiji..xinwei..fiona..jianwu..weifeng..now xuzi and chonghan..haha..really very happy man..its like how to say huh, just feel very glad that people who have been liking and loving each other get together. A lot of times in life, there are people who like each other at one point or another, but couldnt get together due to circumstances. Having said that, having a relationship can mean a lot of potential problems, but at the end of the day, the experience of being with a potential soulmate and partner, and feeling that kind of bliss, romance, and joy all combined is a wonderful wonderful thing in this world. And i always believe there is something to be learnt from every single relationship, be it sweet or sour.
more importantly, whether u are single or attached, the key thing is that you stay happy and true to yourself. As long as your zest for life is there and you are full of shine, happiness, and confidence, love will come knocking on your door. Its quite interesting really, sometimes the more you want to be in a relationship or get attached, the more you wont. Ironically, the more you are not thinking of getting attached and concentrating on having fun and happiness in your own life, the more likely someone out there will like you. (haha, i think this applies a lot to guys)
even if you are in a relationship, once you lose that shine, happiness and confidence, you will lose a lot of your own attractiveness and appeal.
Its comforting to know that love still makes our world go round. I was quite shocked by the tsunami incident..and felt a little guilty that while i was having so much fun at the chalet here in singapore, thousands of other unfortunate people just miles away are having the worst nightmare and time of their lives. Maybe i was tired, but when i returned from the chalet and immediately read the papers bout the incident, i felt very emotional..even to the point that i felt like crying. We here will never understand how and what the victims went through. Watched CNN and felt even more terrible.
suddenly it doesnt matter whether you have thousands of nuclear weapons, the most advanced missile shield, how many fucking tanks or bombs..what do you shoot when mother nature turns against you?
suddenly it doesnt matter whether you are an indian, a Swede, a Brit, an Indonesian or a Singaporean..u are just another fellow human being running away from the giant waves.
having watched the movie The Day After Tomorrow only recently, brought back a lot of memories.
the world has changed again, just like it had changed after sept 11. it was quite appropriate to tone down the new year celebrations this year..this incident just keeps forming in the back of my mind.
