heard about the WSM case recently? (for more info go to chorsengs blogg)

shows that blogging can lead to unwanted troubles indeed. and somehow being objective can also lead to even more troubles.

while mr derek wee has prolly gotten the last laugh with everyone lamblasting wsm, all he has done is ruin her life for the next 1 month. after that, when the roots have healed and the tide has fallen, everything will be the same it as it was again. nice and happy. yes indeedy.

ok i better stop in case some pple from straits times forums or wherever else comes along and decides to report me.

although i dont know her personally (izit bad if u know someone as 'the humans person'), i just feel very sad for her. like how just 1 lengthy diatribe to the government can get blown out of proportions. make a mountain out of a molehill indeed.

just had to get that off my chest. like that damn bench press of 65kg which im unable to do D:. now im getting so fattings (and so are all the other ruggers going to seed).

cant wait for the damn a levels to end, so i can finally fulfull my personal obligations. like learning to bake. and other stuff.

sorry yockteng no time to do your what-you-want-in-your-soul-mate thingy. other time i hope.

blurriness haziness and mooncakes

"everything's so blurry, and everyone's so fake"

singapore is not like singapore today (unless you count the years when we were pri3, 5 etcetc)

cos the haze is back!!!

in fact its so hazy that it reminded me of new zealand or london. except that the weather here is much warmer and there are not as many ang mohs. (psi now is 100 at the time when im writing this.)

spent the entire day in air-con in my room. and parents absolutely barred me from going to east coast park for joggings. (not that im complaining :P)

and whose most directly responsible? okok im not gonna point any fingers here in case someone gets wise and report me, but from my extensive investigations and research so far,
1) the country starts with 'I' and ends with 'sia'.
2) the country lies to our south
3) it was a victim of a Tsunami attack on 26th dec 2004.

damn the shifting cultivators there. as dr chinoh would have said long ago.

anyway it was mooncake festival yesterday. and for the past few days i have been stuffing myself with mooncakes. literally. (1000 calories or kilojoules a mooncake?)

hmm but why are they called mooncakes anyway? and i can vaguely recall a story behind them.

thinkings.

lemme see. got some versions i think

ok at that time the chinese were trying to drive out the mongols. pre-ming dynasty i think. the chinese rebel leaders spread instructions to their troops by placing handwritten notes inside mooncakes, so that their orders can be passed right under the mongols Noses. (the generals being very pro cooks)
the soldiers, having been given the nutritious mooncakes, cut them open and retrieved the instructions. and of cos they ate the mooncakes so they can become fit and strong and destroy all enemies.
anyway the chinese won (yay!). thus the method must have been quite effective.
but if the soldiers, in their haste, ate the note by accident, then too bad i guess. paper doesnt really go with mooncake anyway. or maybe the notes were made from eggs tts why there are eggs in mooncakes now.
viva la chinese :D

in another version, prolly some lovers tale about how this guy and girl really loved each other but were barred from marrying (due to some chinese olden day thing). so the guy, being a proefficient cook, baked mooncakes and slipped inside some mushy love note professing his undying and endless love for all eternity for her. (come to think of it, if the note was in the mooncake it will be really mushy. and icky. eww)
the girl, being a sweettooth, would then cut open the mooncake and take out the note. she then reads the mushy love letter or eats the mooncake. whichever is more important. see everyones happy :D
then they prolly had some plan to elope to hawaii and thus the hawaiians were born.
let there be love. ><

theres some other version also right? about this guy who shot down some suns with his bow. then he got some immortality pills. and he went to heaven. something like that. then his wife joined him. by appolo 13?

ok i seriously need to learn how to bake. in case singapore gets invaded by some hostile north neightbour. like duh.

top 3 movies

hello

quite long ago i mentioned that ill do a top 10 movie list that everyone should have at least watched at least once or have on the computer (sounds familiar??)

but somehow that slipped my mind until today! when i visited chorseng's blog and realised harry potter and order of phoenix pictures are out. (hermione still ownssss all btw :P)

top 3 movies only. because movie reviews take much longer than music reviews to write. and when it comes to movies im more selective. :) and not that there are many really good movies today anyway.

and in no particular order again....

1) V for Vendetta (Wee for Wendetta for senthils case :D)

Political thrillers = nice show for pple like me who like extremely complicated political theory (okok it was not very cheem but i like to believe that so), words that start with "V" (for the
GUYS who have very limited V-vocabulary), + the action! and 1812 overture when the dunno wad building exploded. but it differs from the comic from quite a lot. ok actually really a lot. those interested to read the comic its in the library.


"I'm asking you again, who stole my lipstick??"


2) Armageddon

The best best best best movie ever created in humankind.
basically a giant stone hurls at a gazillion miles per hour and would kill anyone if no preventive action was taken. and being the wise and clever humans that we are, our ultimate plan is to detonate a nuclear warhead on the meteor!!
and of cos the idea was conceived by the americans.
everything about the show was perfect. action sequences, sounds, even the cheesy romance between AJ and the liv tyler character. very touching movie also.. like cmon who did not cry when bruce willis stayed on the meteor to ensure the nuclear device will blow up? even the manliest man cried i bet.
Cmon lor he had to say bye to his daughter from a giant rock in space!!!!
omg!!! thats so touching!!! and everyone in the spaceship, kennedy space centre were all crying. thus everyone in the cinema were also crying.
1 question thou: if space is a vacuum, then how do we hear all the explosions?


"whatya mean no one brought the chicken wings??"


3) Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

Admittedly, while the 2nd installment of the pirates series had more action, fight sequences, special effects etc, the 1st movie was still the better one in my opinion. and of cos, there's always keira knightley. (btw in the 2nd movie keira looked like craaaap.)
having johnny depp as a gay pirate and orlando bloom as a humble blacksmith also serves to spice up the hunkiness factor by a bit (really really by a bit). and also to attract the hordes of crazy girls.
storyline? something out of warcraft. jack and will turner have to stop a bunch of undead pirates, save the girl, kill the baddies etc. and of cos since orlando is in it, the good guys win.


"hey that's where i parked my car!!"

can anyone name better movies then these?? notice all the above movies have lots of action, a usually baseless plot, stupidly insane heroism and the hot damsel in distress. face it we are all guys here..

tuesday ecp outing

monday was spent resting and recuperating from the night biking trip.

by tuesday i was restored!!! thou i had to be woken up by jonny calling my phone desperately at about 10. (we were supposed to meet at 10) and me being very efficient and staying very close to ecp, got there in 15 mins.

spent most of my time learning how to skate. how sad right?? like i stay in the east all my life and i havent even skated before. but after today, after undergoing the school of hard knocks, i think my skating has improved dramatically. (at least i hope)

learning to skate is harddd. at least there was yiling and sherlene who dint know how to skate also. and yockteng was as good as dunno. and i tot learning to bike was bad. (photos courtesy of evelyn who couldnt resist taking pictures of me just dying while learning to skate ><)



















note the giant beginners corner sign.



when im not falling down



my extremely horrible morning hair :(. nvm heres the act cool pic.

when i felt i was good enough, i decided to join the others on the road. everything was relatively smooth, except that there was this time when stupid jon suddenly fell, then evelyn fell, then i fell. hahazz it was really funny actually. :D at least no one got hurt except for the cuts and bruises that added on the those i got on sunday/monday.

point: i realised i fell almost as many times skating as i did cycling.

after that we returned the skates and went for lunch. rest of the time was spent stoning on the giant stone while some pple went to bowl. somehow not doing anything but just lazing around is soooo relaxing

after the others went home, marcus and yockteng came over for a while to my house where we watched roadtrip and had the most interesting chat about everything under the sun. hmm somehow i like those profound talks where u go around and around in circles but you don't have a clear conclusion in the end.

last few days of relaxation before we hit the books again :(

post-prelims

to push down that post that implied that i was really angsty (at least which some pple told me)

heres a quick update.

the past few days have been a crazy whirlwind :D. going out and out and out and spending so little damn time at home. time at home has been fruitfully spent on the phone or more importantly, dotaing (kding!!).

saturday

met the class which consisted of like 5 pple at cine. basically we spent 1 hr discussing where to go to for dinner, then we had the brilliant brainwave of going to esplanade to eat at some food centre there.

char kway tiao was really really really good :D cept that marcus got confused with the mai hum and my hump thinggy but all still turned out ok. yums

learning point: try the stingray. for $12 its really worth. except that it disappeared so fast when all the guys banzaied it almost instantly.

sunday (crazy day)

went new creation with justinevelyn in afternoon, then biking with ruggers in evening!!! being the punctual ruggers that we all are, we only met at the ecp macs at about 7+?? when the msg said to meet at 6. bike bike bike all the way to lagoon to eat dinner (for the others) then we biked back to meet some latecomers at the same bike shop.

and of course, being the sporty and fit singaporeans that we are, we biked everywhere!!!

1st stop: Dons house
fun begins. dons house where we waited for just and joel to arrive after singapore idol. meanwhile we watched eurotrip (for some pple like the 10000th time) priceless as usual. never ever gets old. club vandersexxxxxxxxx XD

2nd stop: kallang road
fun really begins :D biked to indoor stadium (just says hey i was just here 2 hrs ago!!) then off we went again and again

3rd: esplanade
fun continues. biked to esplanade (i say hey i was here yesterday) via nicoll highway!! where the first major accident occurred. roland drops his cap and brakes to pick it up. ilman is shocked and does series of acrobatics on his bike that he usually would not do. SPLAT!!. and ilman has a few new gashes on his knee. which were expertly patched up due to the efforts of joel and his super tape. en route of course we stopped to pose for pictures on steves camera (phone)

4th: shenton way
fun continues continues. from esplanade, by some sheer chance and luck, we suddenly found ourselves in front of tanjong pagar mrt. so what do 15 hot, handsome and sweaty guys do? pose for more pics of cos. then was bike bike bike again, chionging across roads, pavements, bits of grass, anything in our way, beating the red lights, and 10000 ways to shorten our lifespan.

5th: lau par sat (is this how u spell it??)
fun takes a break. finally our destination --- lau par sat. to rest our aching loins and groins and whatever else that took a severe beating/bruising/rubbing. deserts and more deserts came. then came the rather interesting debate between steven and glen about the post-prom party. nvm bout that btw. after that we were on our way again. to the shopping mecca of singapore -- orchard road!!

6th: boat quay/ann siang hill
fun starts again. before going to orchard we went to boat quay first. (where we were after we lost the finals) from boat quay we hit ann siang hill, where we cycled up the fricking hill due to some navigational error. (supposed to turn right we went up instead)

7th: river valley road
fun is running out. river valley road is seriously one of the worst roads for cycling. it goes uphill and uphill and even more uphill. nvm the quads got a workout.

8th: orchard road
fun decreases a bit. i tried to be wise and jump the curb between the road and the pavement outside wheelock place. accident no 2 occurs. 1st time i got cuts in a very very long time, which were patched up by myself and joels tape. cycled to outside taka where we took photos again.

9th: homeward bound
fun decrease a lot. sore bums and thighs were really taking a toll on us. so we just biked as quickly as we could back to dons house by the bus 14 route. somehow we gained a lot of ground in record time. maybe it was the fact that it was almost 4am><.

10th: finish line!!!
dons house finally. and how far did we cycle? well if someone does the math and calculates how many km we do, we'll be thankful. (estimate-- 20km?? cos we were cycling in circles most of the time)

biking be fun! even thou i fell like countless times, cycled into pillars and lamp-posts, almost decapitated random passer-bys and so on.

funny moment on the way back
ryan: fck i almost collided into the pillar!!! guys careful
arjun: guys look out for pillar!!
mark: guys look out for pillar!!

I collided into the pillar.

and of cos we broke almost every traffic law except for the one involving drunk driving. that one we definitely did NOT break.

at the end of the expedition the bikes were in terrible condition. (at least mine was) got spokes that were torn out, bike stands that fell off, brakes that did not work etcetc. the bike shop owner must be really understanding. like we returned with 13 chunks of mutilated metal and he still beamed and us and said thankyou.

bike again soon :D more on ecp outing later
