Shitty Day? Think again.

Everybody have their shitty day. Just when you think yours is the worst in the world, there are other people out there who are having much worse. Ask them if you don't believe me.



Nevertheless, things just gotta move on. Esplanade is coming up next. 15 April at the outdoor theatre. 7 Till Dawn is playing there. Wish us well for our rehearsals cuz time is truly tight.

Love Ground Zero forever. Memories are meant to be cherished and all my memories with you guys have always been the best in my life.

blogging at the CoffeeBean at Boat Quay facing the Singapore River at 12.23am. How I wish somebody is here to console me now.

To the Lady I've yet to know

I hate the way you talk to me
And the way you dye your hair.
I hate the way you ride with me.
I hate it when you stare.

I hate your crowned high heel shoes
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick.
It even makes me rhyme

I hate it...
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh;
Even worse when you make me cry.


I hate it when you're not around
And the fact that you've never call,
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you;
Not even close;
Not even a little bit;
Not even at all.

rock and soul. can they ever meet?

Don't Chicken Out

I'm sad. just a lil something that mad me grin a lil.



Do you guys know of any good Halal chicken rice stalls around sch? Cheap ones ok?

thanks for msging

Close Shave

2 days of 2 hour sleep. great....
i learnt that mee goreng and mcdonalds can't mix in my stomach... great...
competing who can make 3 complete revolutions first on a spinning chair seems to keep the group awake at 4am in the morning. you think it's easy?
no one cares for you so you've gotta learn to care for yourself
miscomms with a few people along the way. my apologies to you
groggy now
parked Chinook at School of Biz Level 3, outside my comms class. it was show and tell
and today, i learnt, that fate is really something that you juz cannot blame nor stop. it has already been written. you just do your best with hope that it might come out right. you'll never know, you thought that your presentation seems to be the best, only to be dampened by technical fault.
in short, i need to cut my hair. FULL STOP. everytime something sucky happens, i'll just cut my hair, to get some energy back, just like how the group who presented on the topic of Brazilian Waxing (full removal of the female pubic hair) told us of their findings.

ja
just shaved. felt good.

Morning morning everybody! Ya'll miss me? Sorry if you guys have been coming back and forth into this website to find nothing but old stories. In actual fact, time hasn't been really kind to me at all. Nevertheless, many interesting things had happened to me.

You have, the tickle my armpit aka funny ones, fill my heart with roses aka cheery ones, give me cheesecake aka happy ones, tear my heart open aka heartache ones, stab me with a banana ones aka painful ones and why of all people must be me aka angry ones. Today, I feel happy. So! HAPPY THOUGHTS PEOPLE! :D Think of one thing or person or animal or activity that makes you happy. Quick! Just one.

Done? Now smile. =beams=

Being around with friends just make my day. Staying over in school has never been my idea of a pasttime but it has turned into one lately. But having friends around just makes you forget that you have an assingment due in 2 DAYS TIME! The company's just great. No ego, just happy emotions.

If only there was no ego in this world, there would not be a single problem at all. Countries won't go to war and kill for reasons other than trying to FREE a nation. Yeah right. People won't backstab each other just because someone else can work better and thus jeapardizing others' ricebowl and most certainly, when mistakes are made, both parties admit that it was their fault and not make the story look as if one party looks bad. I've always wished for a world as pure as that but Shaiful said that no way can that ever happen. Besides, looking at egos from that point of view doesn't really give it the certain form of credit that it should recieve.

There is no such thing as positive ego and negative ego. That would be oxymoron and as many would know by now, that I just love oxymorons. "Positive ego" means that ego has brought about benefits to the whole world. Yes, ego. It it wasn't for the guy who had an ego of a BLIMP, he wouldn't have strive hard enough to make things better than his competitors. And that would mean better products, making it more value added, cooler looking vintage t-shirts and better tasting cheesecake!

Try telling a girl who likes you that your girl friend can really make great tasting cheesecake. LOL. I think she would go, "No way, I must bake better ones than her" Get the picture? Somewhere along that linelah! Catch my drift ok?

Ego ego ego, what about you that we don't know.

And most certainly, my positive ego has been working well. I can't deny, it spurs me to write better songs. Trying to cut down on the emo shit and all but I guess it comes naturally.

Till then, keep those positive egos alive and the negative ones dead.

Just a few lyrics that came from my dream

I know that I can live without sunrise
I know that I can live without rain
But I can never seem to hide you from the corner of my eyes
And you have to start to make me wonder
Why am I losing all my sane

Sometimes I feel my life is getting older
From all this noise and buzzing fear
Dont say a single word and just get me out of here
My wonderlust, my sanity, my soulmate divider

So wake up and smell the morning coffee
As I lay by your bed
With an aftertaste that never go away

So wake up with my face in your memory
As I walk in circles in your head

ja

If you feel like havin a good laugh, do catch me on Police and Thief on Tuesday 21st March at 8.00pm I think.

of fair skin and unwritten contracts

What if

What if Ja wasn't in SMU now, most prob, he would have been,

1. An apprentice chef at a restaurant
2. A full-time policeman at Singapore Operations Command (Riot Police)
3. A full-time teacher specializing in Physical Education
4. Helping out doing community work
5. A full-time student at NUS, doing Arts and Social Science. Btw, i didnt apply for SMU, they called me. What a godsend. Truly blessed
6. Off to Indonesia, doing music.
7. Off to UK, on a work Visa and stay there for 2 years

All the above are true events that will surely happen if not for SMU. I've been blessed to meet great friends along the way. But it's truly interesting how a phonecall change the way how my life had turned out and how it will continue from here.

Nerves

i'm nervous. i'm in a lil wreck actually. dunno why. 3 things that would make me break out in cold sweat.

1. Singing alone, without any bands, for a competition
2. Not feeling prepared for anything i.e. presentation, performance
3. Asking a girl that I like out for a date

i'm keeping myself calm buy doing a few things right now

1. listening to Royale's songs again
2. play Winning Eleven
3. not doing anything at all

any other good suggestions?

ja
2 more days

I got a confession

Nad say I have pseudo characters. I'm like Jekyll and Hyde. I have onstage and offstage pesonas. I'm shy offstage in actual fact but when i'm on stage, i just take on a different character altogether. Friday's the day, I think. If it happens, it'll happens.

I want my cheesecake!!!

My Wednesday

Verse:
Don't leave me my wednesday
Where i was left in your arms
and dont tell me that i was lukewarm
cuz you said it so yourself

Don't leave me my wednesday
Where nights are left with questions
Cuz you turn around and gave me all the answers
When nothing was left for certain

Prechorus:
We took turns to believe
The world we adore
But back in your cage
i left you alone
cause if we get back again, will it ever be the same again
But you tore it down before we can piece it up in the end

Chorus:
Cause i want nothing more than sitting outside heaven door
And hear you breathing
Or watch you fly as the world spin
Cause i only want more

Cause i am hanging on everything that you say
Even if you don't want to speak to me
It's all right somehow
Cause it seems to be clear right now

Outro
I fell in love with sanity
But i dont really what i'm gonna do when i get there on time
Take my breath and hold on tight
Say it loud and clear that you'll be mine

Lalalalala....

Confessions

I was juz lazing around and flicked across the channels on my TV. Then i saw, this Dynamo washing detergent advertisement being screened. It was a new ad but it was certainly consistant with the past ads that had been featured before. Can you guys remember the ad? Let me refresh and I will draw a conclusion to which target market they are focusing on.

These are the things that you must have.

1. People with laboratory outfits. Must be white. This is meant to show that they are Dynamo are constantly finding ways to make it better. But in actual fact, the product is STILL THE FREAKING SAME!!!

2. The spokesperson must be a guy who looks like a professor or some sort, clad in his natural white lab robe. I guess the whiteness seems to represent that clean look. But why not a lady? I wonder. It has always been in the past that housewives do all the washing in cleaning. Shouldn't they be getting a wise, old lady with huge specs to promote the product?

3. Stains. Time to get dirty baby! Usually its rojak or something. Something dark. Something really visibly dirty when you throw it on the white lab robe. Every mom hates stains. So this is good.

4. Whats up with the lipstick stain man? They need to circle the stain with red lipstick. Is this a signal to all the men out there? Is this a subtle message that says, "Men, don't worry if you go home with red lipstick on your collar, Dynamo will save your ass from your wife"

5. Dab a lil Dynamo, TADA!!! It's gone!!!

Well, what can i say. If it doesn't wash away your sins, at least it washes away the evidence.

loving the simple pleasures

I really dunno why other people's houses can be seen and mine is freaking black! NOT FAIR!!!

Based on your drawing and the 10 answers you gave this is a summary of your personality:
Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You love your house and family. You are a gifted artist as well. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes.

You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You have a strong personality and you like to command, influence and control people.

You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself.

hmmmmm

I've found the word

I've found the word to describe you. And I've managed to move on to my normal life. I'm happy being alone for now. I read my younger brother's poem in the morning and i just love his work. It's simple yet meaningful.

THE LADY BY JOHARIE

I DEDICATE THIS TO THE LADY,
THE LADY I HAVE YET TO KNOW.
MAYBE I'LL MEET THAT SOMEBODY,
NEXT YEAR, WEEK OR EVEN TOMORROW.

BUT IT WON'T BE LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT,
IT'S 'CAUSE I HAVE MYOPIA YOU SEE.
I AM CERTAIN MY CHOICE WILL BE RIGHT,
FOR MY HEART AND MIND WILL BOTH AGREE.

THEN COMES THE COURTING PHASE,
AND BEING A SHY PERSON ISN'T HELPING.
THAT'S A PROBLEM I HAVE TO FACE,
NO USE SITTING AROUND AND START WEEPING.

HENCE I WILL GIVE MY ALL,
AND I WON'T LET HER SLIP AWAY.
I'LL RETURN HER EVERY CALL,
JUST RING AND I'M ON MY WAY.

WISHFUL THINKING YOU MAY SAY,
TIME TO WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE.
BUT I'M OPTIMISTIC THERE'LL COME A DAY,
THAT I'LL MEET MY LADY-TO-BE.

TILL THEN I DEDICATE THIS TO THE LADY,
THE LADY I HAVE YET TO KNOW.
MAYBE I'LL MEET THAT SOMEBODY,
NEXT YEAR, WEEK OR EVEN TOMORROW.

What I need now is a cup of hot hello, a slice of good mornings and a spoonful of smiles from all my friends. That, would certainly be a nice start to my new life.

the lady i've yet to know. how true.

Verbal Suicide

Anyway, I love the word Verbal Suicide. It just came to mind. You know why? That's because we have, at least once in our lifetime, committed it. Remember the times when you said something that you shouldn't have? Remember the times where you just really wished you hadn't said those words? Too bad people, you've just committed verbal suicide.

Verbal suicide, nice ring to it. I just love it. Finally, a term that I coined. I hope I'm the first. Thus far, I've coined two terms: Skirtains and Verbal Suicide. More to come. I want to beat Kirpal Singh because he coined a term and submitted it to Cambridge Dictionary and it got accepted. Crapz! Wouldn't it be cool to have your word in the dictionary?th

Anyway, I have a guest writer with me today, Min.

So here we go. Jamiel the fiend, we say.

Ray was a light for 104 weeks, but Ja came along. Did you see that axis. We wondered. on the 25 on the wall. Perhaps we shouldn't speculate, but who's to say. Behold The Buckets. Behold the scintillatia. Behold the love of the loveless. And then you will understand why we do the things we do. And Ja hesitant, and Ja hesitating, and Ja sitting alone avet the bench facing us. You will love the love of the loveless.

"My brother stopped playing, and he continued playing".

And you will love the love of the loveless; You will.

Its true

My earlier post, wasn't made up. I was REALLY REALLY sleepin wif my fingers holding down the "O" key. lol. can't believe it. If you havent read it yet, read the earlier post, then follow up with this one.

ok, shall continue,

8.45am Gracia strolled in with her new haircut. Damn shockinglah! She look more mature now. lol. What happened to the old Graciaaaaa??? oh well, dont care. Next!

11.00am Mark ended his lesson. Yayyyyyyy!!! After the long hours of talking about career prospects and all, I had the sudden urge to go to the Esplanade. I was feeling happy. Dunno why. Unexplainable. Emoboi 1 and Emogirl wants to go and eat at Hill Street but I was still persistent to go to the Esplanade instead eventhough I was famish.

MY ESCAPADE

11.01am Walked towards Esplanade through CityLink. Many zombies lurking around without any expressions on their faces. I think some dreaded the fact of having to go to work on a great morning!

11.10am Saw Daniel walking towards me. I wondered where he came from. Took a right turn and went inside HMV to look at the titles and names of the various CD's that I can find; Busted, 5IVE, Click for 5. What constitutes a good band name? What makes a band name to be remembered in the long run and not bands like Colour Me Badd. Remember them? lol. I thought of a few names myself if I want to manage a band next time in the future like Centre Piece or Centre Peace and Oska or Oscar.

11.30am Reached Esplanade. Yayyyyy!!! Saw some of the art pieces, the Mosaic ones. What constitute good art? Just because one bloody fella said that, "THIS IS ART", therefore we have to accept it? Just because it is placed in Esplanade, does that mean its good art? I should do some painting. I think a Picasso is just waiting to be unleased. BRING ME MY PAINT!

11.40am Reached the outdoor theatre. Damn bloody hot! This tanned boy is turning into satay very soon if he's not careful. I looked at the outdoor stage and really can't wait to perform there in April. Dream slowly becoming true. And as I gazed at the sea, past memories slowly sinking in. And all I can do is smile.

11.56am I can't stop walking! Took a stroll towards Millenia Walk. Saw some aunties and uncles underneath the bridge, reading Chinese texts. Falun Clan if I remembered correctly. Very peaceful people. Nevermind. Enjoy!

12.00noon I thought i wanted to head back to sch to meet up with the President for lunch but as I looked across The Padang, I had an itch to visit City Hall aka The Supreme Court. And so I did! Walked across the Padang under the scorching sun and starting to sweat profusely. Why am I doing this???

12.06pm Reached the Old Supreme Court. Damn HUGEEEE. THE PILLARS!! I love pillars for those who doesn't know. If I have a house, I want to have pillars similar to the ones found in ancient Rome. As I walked up the fleet of steps, a huge bronze lion head door knob greeted me. It was a big as my headlah! But its justifed since the arduous door was just looking down on me. The door is damn hugelah!!! You guys just got to see it to believe it. And on the right side of the door, there was a plaque that said, "This is where Mr Lee Kuan Yew declared Singapore's Independance in 1965" The view is just marvellous I tell you. Indescribable. The view is SOOO WIDE!!! OH OH! Don't forget, this is where the Maria Hertogh riot happened! Happeninglah! I can just imagine the crowd and the intensity that is flaming at that moment in time.

12.08pm. I wanted to see and hear some trials that might be happening in the new Supreme Court. Security was damn tight! The Cisco officers didnt give me any chance. Could have talked to me nicely though. I dont mind being frisk and all but I do mind the courtesy. I had to take off my crown and my belt buckle! HELLO excuse me, how am I going to walk around like that?! My jeans are already baggy without the belt, imagine without it. I moved around freely with my heavy bag at the Cisco counter but my hands were struggling to hold my jeans up. I looked damn stupidlah. Move, pull up jeans, move, pull up jeans. Urghh. I was lost eventhough I had the schedule in hand. I asked one of the people working there

ja: "Excuse me, do you know where I can hear some trials?"
lady: "Oh, why are you here?"
ja: "I'm on a tour"
lady: " With who?"
ja getting a lil impatient: "I'm touring on my own. I'm from SMU and I just want to sit down and listen to some trials for fun"
lady: "Oh, everybody's out for lunch"
ja: ".......... (smiles) thanks!"

she could have spared me the interrogation and juz get straight to the point

The New Supreme Court is just majestic I tell you. Damn futuristic. I felt as if I'm in one of the CSI drama. No KIDDING! When you walk in, you're eyes will be looking upwards in awe because the place is damn FREAKING BIG! Most of the trials are civil cases except for 1. And that is the criminal case. They're gonna continue the trial on monday. I might head down there to take a look. Culpable Homicide if I'm not wrong. If my law is still fresh, culpable homicide means justifiable killing i.e. self-defence.

12.25pm Headed down towards Admin Building to meet up with Provost and Woody Hunter to have an informal session over lunch. I had pasta!!! yummy. shiok. Xiaohui was sitting beside, chewing her food while listening to the conversation and fake laughter at times. ME was eating happily, thinking of what to chew next. =)D

12.40pm Many issues were brought up. The new hostels off Prinsep Street, bitching about College Green but one took the cake when all of a sudden, when the president asked, "Is there anything else", one guy said

"The concourse is too long". Everybody started laughing. I couldn't contain myself. I was covering my face and laughing softly in my stomach because I just dont want to be rude. Others things he said.

"I came not for the free lunch but to meet the Provost and the President to discuss issues" Dude, i'm in da same boat but I dont explicitly SAY IT!

"I think the school should have more playstation on Level 3 and 4 of the Library so that people can rest more". DUDE, that's by Galillee not by the school.

Happening. Entertainment while eating. What else can I ask for.

After which, walked to Bugis with Xiaohui to get her shades. Walked! Surprisingly, it wasn't as tired as I would have expected.

I did a lot of walking, seen so many great historical sight all within 2 hours. Try it. Walk. You'll be surprised to know that there are many things out there that are just waiting to be explored and all of then are within your walking distance and around you. Till then.

Tiny Footsteps

You guys won't believe what I did this morning. It was a day of walking and the pleasant surprises one gets from just walking.

8.37am Attended Comms 201 late because SOMEBODY either gave me the wrong locker number or locker combination!!! -grrrrs-

8.40am Mark talked about the career prospects of having majoring in corp comms. The money looks great but I was still not hooked to the idea of working for an advertising or a PR firm yet.

OMG, i'm beginning to doze off in front of my lappie with my fingers still resting on the keyboard....ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I can't sleep

Here is my literal lullaby cuz I can't sleep. An old story that I read somewhere.

I'm that guy who first heard your voice but didn't care much of who you were

I'm that guy who saw you then and soon my world became blur

I'm that guy who burns in the rain and shiver in the sun just to catch 5 seconds of you. It felt great.

I'm that guy who saw peace each time I see that face of yours and as I close my eyes, it still remains there like an immortal portrait.

I'm that guy who fell for a fairytale of happy misery as you twined your smile around my beating heart. Squeezing it tight till I can't breathe and loosening the grip, enabling me to enjoy the adrenaline rush.

I'm that guy who stood outside your gate, hoping to hug and celebrate the day of your very existance before the stroke of midnight. Instead, I left my heart outside your doorsteps, to be collected the very next day.

I'm that guy who fell sick for 3 days, knowing your heartbeat belonged to someone else. My soul began to sing out of key and my life went off tempo. Songs were deafening and singing was a torture. Thank you, so long, goodbye.

I'm that guy who secretly pen poems and songs in his book, unknowing to others of the torture that he had to go through. The frustration of not being explicit. Or was I? Only you knew best.

I'm that guy who fell for the girl and felt like a lil boy again. Oh how good that really feels.

I'm that guy who yearns to write great songs, for you are my inspiration and not my muse.

I'm that guy who drew on the glass window with colours for everyone to see. The smile was priceless for it was sincere and natural.

I'm that guy who wore that pendant for you. Perhaps now it is kept in a box, to be sealed forever.

I'm that guy who wants to serenade you to the moon but all i'm singing now is just to the moon with the stars as my humble witness.

I'm that guy who has his weakness. And you are an addiction that needs to be stopped. I've been in cold turkey for 8 months but it doesnt seem to work. You had to come back and start this roller coaster again. It's not your fault. Fate played its part.

I'm that guy who falls asleep in deep slumber with each word you speak and with each smile that you carve.

I'm that guy who walked barefoot for 1 hour with you. The walk that can never be erased and matched by others. Each step was precious for if I had one wish that night, I wish to walk another hour with you till the break of dawn.

I'm that guy who learnt to laugh with all your candid moments. "TADA!!!" and it still makes me grin.

I'm that guy who slept in the movie theatre as you try to unravel the complexity of British comedy. Remember? That was the first time I've ever slept in the movies while your eyes are still glued to the screen. That show was EVIL I tell you.

I'm that guy who learnt how to bake and place the chocolate chips nicely to bring out the alphabets of your name.

I'm that guy who stood on the bridge with you as we placed our frail frames in the hands of the night breeze. Photos are all that I have left to trudge through this life like Snuffalaphogus.

I'm that guy who dreamt of you and had a glimpse of what Heaven looks like. Soon enough, I was awaken to reality and forgot what the immortality realm is like.

I'm that guy who nearly said the word "I Love You" but nothing was said due to reasons beyond words.

I'm that guy can't sleep tonight because he's too excited.

I'm that guy. So who are you?

ja
write me a story so that i can live without fiction:

MINDS

Been smiling the whole day. god knows why. maybe its because of the Capo that I found in the kitchen. Now i can transpose on my guitar!! whee! been thinking about my exchange. i just cant wait. at the same time, i cant wait to start the project that i've been wanting to do with MINDS. hopefully, that will take off.

i have to sleep early today! cant be late for tomorrow's class! =)D

missing my unsung songs

DING DONNNNNGGGGG

I have 80 hits today! wah... dats more than the number of real friends that i have. so who are the rest of you? -raise eyebrows- hehe. kidding kidding. anyway, MORNING MORNING!!! :D On to my morning story.

Yesterday, I called Gracia an Oreo cuz she's like a magician, "Now you see it, Now you don't!!!" lol. After which, i had a weird dream. The only thing i remembered was that i fell down from a mountain and i was grabbing earth along the way. when i hit rock bottom, i smelled something nice. i smelled my hands and licked it. OREO!!!! the mountain was made of OREO!!! i pulled some rocks off the mountain and starting chewing. I was mind fucked actually because i noe that we cant eat rocks and rocks tasted yucky but this one tasted great!!! But my great dream was shortlived when my neighbour next door started ringing the bell continuously for 2 mins. Yes. you heard me. 2 mins of DING DONG. DING DONG. DING DONGGGGGG. DING DONGGGGG.

I dont want to open the door. She's a lil whacked in da head after she nearly committed suicide by jumping off the kitchen window. But she's nice. Doesnt harm anybody. But sometimes, you jsut need the privacy ya know?

Then, it was all quiet, i went back to my sleep. I had a short dream. It was about this model having a photoshoot. Quite cute. Wanted to get close to talk when ALL OF A SUDDEN!

DING DONG! DING DONG! It's damn irritating. Tracy would know how the bell sounds like because we have the same doorbell coincidentally.

i refuse to budge. we'll see who cracks first. my bro was in da other room and i bet he can't stand it longer that me. my tolerance level is high. My brother is like my father. Short temper. haha. what a way to start the day. eventually, she did give up. i guess she finally got the picture that either there was nobody home or the skullheads just refuse to open. don't get me wrong, i always open the door when if it was her. sometimes she needs to use the phone to call her sis and sometimes she needs money so i'll just give her 2 dollars. but today, I"M TIREDLAH!!! SORRY!!!

i hope she doesnt ring the bell soon because i'm tired and drained. need to get many things done up. till then. dont forget! place your nickname on the comment box or tag after reading.

ja

WildBoyz

I love the show the WildBoyz on MTV. They never, i swear, never fail to crack me up. They're SOOO FUNNY! The wild things they do. Shooting darts at each other's butt cracks, purposely stinging themselves by the deadliest scorpions, fighting with piranahs and crocodiles and drinking indigenous whisky till they puke. They're the best. Can't wait for their next episode because i just witnessed an orangutan getting drunk. Really! That creature was drinking beer and margarita like water. After which, it goes around peeing in the room and shitting on their bed. What an interesting day!

Today, Michelle Lee was chatting with me and I told her that my heart was hardened. She's so funny when she told me to go and drink vinegar to soften it up. Lol. That means, i have to go and date the auntie that sells vinegar below to really melt my heart. lol. ok. getting lame. Can't blame me. I've been sitting at home, facing this piece of laptop for the past 10 hours. Really. 10 hours. Life's great. Moving on. Moving forward. I should be loving myself more. Why not. Royale's next on my list cause i wanna be a Rocksta no matter what it takes.

These are the things I want to get (or those kind souls who want to get for me, hehe) for myself,

1. Chocolate milkshake from McDonalds
2. Cheesecake from anywhere
3. Watch a few movies, Munich (reserved), Mad Hot Ballroom (reserved), pink panther, hot mama house 2
4. A new pair of socks. All my socks have holes already.
5. A great pair of labelled boxers. Why not right?

Yup. More to come. I'm gonna go for retail therapy. Even though i have no money, i shall juz fantasize that i do. Till then, something from me,

it is only true love when you show it with responsible actions and not mere words. If you cant show it wif responsible actions, dont dare say the word love. take care my friends, love you guys and those who reads this prose of mine.

i wanna go for my exchange now. and i mean NOW.

Bizarre

Many ask, "Ja, what's your favourite song?" It is truly a difficult question to answer because being a music freethinker like myself, I cannot pin point one particular song. I searched deep, wrote my many favourites and try to find the significance of each song. Then only I realize, that this song that you're hearing now, is my favourite of the many i've heard till now. Sometimes i wonder why because it is SOOO short yet, i love it so much.

Perhaps, its raw. It's simple. I love it when things are raw. The girl can sing. The lyrics are nice and the melody is just addictive. I guess a great song doesn't need a whole orchestra to be played at the back.

I'm still waiting for a girl to sing that song specially for me because that was how i felt when i was in secondary sch, "How i wish my girlfriend would be able to sing this song for me." I'd smile, then melt. So here it is. My all time favourite song.

what a great earworm

I pulled the petals from the flowers slowly

It was kinda fun to appear on the screen, the shadows and all. hehe. it was a blast. too bad the crowd wasn't able to jump around due to space constraint. But you guys did enjoy it right?

Pictures courtesy of Q, thanks babe! More to come.

If the world gives you lemons, make lemonade.
If the world gives you shit, grow flowers on them.
And from this flower i grew, i pulled its 5 petals one by one
To see whether she loves me.

-pulls- She loves me not
-pulls- She loves me not
-pulls- She loves me not
-pulls- She loves me not
-pulls- She loves MEEEEE!!!

If the world gives you fairytales, just hallucinate.

the kids made me happy

Hong Kong?!

Had a gig at NUS for their Arts and Culture week. Did an acoustic set with Jason. I was a lil nervous because i was a lil unprepared having to come in for Faye because she had to leave Singapore for some family matters. I'm the sort of person who takes my music seriously. This means, that, I must be prepared before I can have fun on stage. I can't afford things to cock up. I donno why, perhaps it's just the music perfectionist in me. How I wish i could apply that to my other areas in life.

Everything seemed smooth as i sang This Love. There were a few mouths singing along and I told the crowd to loosen up, shakes those shoulders and heads to enjoy the set. Not many watched but things took a huge turn when a huge group of primary sch kids came marching through the gate with their green uniform. They look like elves. Hehe... I was nevertheless very happy because at least there were people who were responding to my antiques. I managed to ask some questions.

I asked, "So where are you guys from?". i hear someone shouting at the back saying, Hong Kong!
"Hong Kong?!. LOL." Everybody was laughing their socks off. "Concordlah!" a lil kid shouted from the back. "Oh! That Chua Chu Kang sch! I know"

That was the environment that i wanted. The ice was broken. It was so cute to see da kids laughing. Reminded me of my primary school days where excursions were the best part of my life.

I asked, "Are you guys on a field trip? Do you still need consent form?" Many shook their heads. Weird. Shouldn't they be needing their parents signature? Remember that guys? The green form? LOL. They made my day. For that, I sang An Jing for them for fun. All their jaws dropped. LOL. Cute. Priceless.

Didnt manage to get da orange La Coste polo shirt that i wanted. Somebody else bought it before i did. =(. Met Danny from Timbre. Hopefully, i can get more gigs like this and perhaps, play at Timbre or Esplanade. He's a great guy. We share the same passion. Vintage and Macintosh. He's gonna teach me harmonica. Yay.

How tired am I?

I woke up to find myself really disarray. How bad?

1. Woke up and told my sis to get my wallet. She asked where it was and I told her that the table is on top of the chair.
2. I went to the bathroom to bathe. I wanted to brush my teeth. Instead, I took my shampoo and nearly squeezed it on my toothbrush. WTH?

Ladies and gentleman, don't try this at home. Leave it to the tired people. ok?

Tired people unite!

happy mode still on
don't forget to come for the FACE Off concert tomoro guys. 730pm at Big Steps, SMU.

Happy Miel

I felt good today. Donno why. I felt at peace. There was no frustration whatsoever. Helped out at setting up the stage for FaceOff and had one good rehearsals. I think we'll do fine on the day itself. Felt comfortable on stage today. And after carrying all the heavy equipment, Dush told me one thing that just made me laugh all of a sudden. He said, "Man, after carrying all these, I know i'm gonna have man boobs." What a way to end the day. I can't deny that i've yet to study for MR and i'm still in sch trying to finish this blog.

Anyways, to end this, I shall ask you a question

What word rhymes with the word "month"? can anybody guess?

ja
TADA! yet i can't see spongebob
