12:19 am - I love Ironman like a fat kid loves cake I used to be a big fan of Ironman cartoons and I apologize for being such a fanboy but I am hereby promoting the movie "Ironman" to the dismal number of people that actually bother to read my posts. Worth every single cent, superb action sequences with a healthy blend of humor, stunning transformer style CGI effects, great acting, and not to mention an AWEsome soundtrack. I love it like a fat kid loves cake like how Gatsby loves Daisy like how <you know who> loves his chicken wings like how LC loves himself Go watch it, watch it ALONE if you have to, just watch it and be sure to stay after the credits for a bonus scene, even if you might look stupid with everyone streaming out leaving you sitting there for 10+ min, its worth the wait. Current Mood: silly Current Music: Black Sabbath- I am Iron Man

04:42 pm - Life's a beach Reading spark-notes as I type this out, and I still have a pile, make that a mountain of dirty / un-ironed laundry sitting in a pile, waiting, just waiting intently, silently mocking me. (I hate chores) But last night was just too eventful, to not blog about it would be sin. YEA ARES fac outing at palawan beach,  so what, that less than half of the faculty turned up due to bio lecture test, so what, that there wasn't much of a sunset to look at, so what, that our performance did little to rock the audience's socks. (most of them weren't wearing socks anyways) It was fun, nonetheless. Kudos to all fac hunk/babe nominees for being such great sports, thanks to the people that supported me and for your encouraging words, thanks to my rocking fac hunk babe Aileen for sticking with me throughout, we made ourselves look stupid but at least it was all in good fun =D.. and we won charades and most compatible! Valiant effort by the Yalam siblings Shen Hong and Val I'd have to say, but the starbucks voucher was ours to keep *sneers* Hint to all you people: treat me nicely and I might just treat you to Starbucks. Also, kudos to Amanda for the retro old school polaroid pictures, really really cool. *Sirens* Four, Tres, Two, Uno ! nostalgia just flooded in as we did the dance that earned us fac dance champs for the 3rd year running, damn I missed doing the fac dance. Even heading home was a blast, singing collide with vanehh and niang, (hc talent-time anyone?), niaoing each other like no tomorrow with A10 peeps, I'm happy to see even though the A10 spirit was diminished, it was alive and well, all we needed was a catalyst, a spark. Bits and pieces did demoralize me somewhat, at least I'm assured I'm not taking the wrong road, and I realized how nice and accommodating some of the people around me were, and from the point of just getting to know each other up till now, we've come such a long way, it was touching to say the least, to know how my friends genuinely cared, thank you all =) Besides, at least I managed to brighten a few people's lives for a few moments, (your welcome niang) and it was all that mattered. I fell right through the cracks and now I'm trying to get back -Jason Mraz, I'm Yours and I'm not gonna fall back in

11:29 pm - Life's a bitch So much crap swimming around in my head right now, I'm afraid of drowning in my thoughts. I found it funny how the seniors kept claiming that orientation would be the best 2 weeks of our 2 years in JC. Surely, of these 2 years, it should mean alot more than just orientation ? But I'm starting to see it, given how things have taken a downwards spiral after the 1st few months. Got a 10/35 for Math Lecture test, my 1st ever U, and great, it takes up 10% of the final grade. BAH it's not like I care (actually I really do care) As Val puts it, I need to stop nua-ing and start studying. And the fact that I have a date with my dirty laundry every night after school doesn't help at all. I sound like a spoiled brat who doesn't do chores, which I admit I am. My aunt's maid is away for 2 weeks, and I'm doing all my own chores..but the house is a HUGE HUGE HUGE mess. (In Lit, when something is repeated multiple times, it usually means that it has some significance. (Khoo will be so proud) ) Drama, yes, the kind that involves conflict, tension, misunderstanding, I knew it was going to strike in one way or another, no school life is complete without it. (shall not elaborate) On a side note, I was one of the six pairs shortlisted for Fac Hunk and Fac Babe. I take so much comfort in the fact that my friends either gawk in utter disbelief, or just laugh it off like it was a joke. Don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, though I don't have to pay for the fac outing anymore, I'm cracking my head over what in the world to do for the 2min performance. GAHHH I envy some of my friends in M.A.D, how they're so committed and passionate about their craft, and how they can just escape from the pain of reality by doing something they love. I'm despo for a CCA. It's embarrassing enough when people ask me what CCA I'm in and I try to answer: "CCA-less" with a straight face. But its either I plain suck at some of them, or I'm completely uninterested, or they don't accept anymore people. DOUBLE GAHHH Such is JC life, ever-so interesting and eventful. Right now I'm just a confused confused (again with the repetition) individual. Current Mood: sleepy Current Music: Paramore-Crushcrushcrush

06:45 pm - random ramblings Been ages since I've had a proper mother-son talk, in the midst of her worried stares and queries of how school has been, she's made me realize that  I do miss home, even after the disappointment that was CNY, as she filled me in on how my brother was not-doing-so-well in school, how dad was leaving for China for vacation again. Long terms of absence from my family has hardened me in a way, turned this skinny little-kid with bowl shaped hair into the awkward 17 going on 18 year old teen you see today. It has its perks, more independence, liberty and much less nagging, but it's also put a distance between me and my and family, and its not just in a physical sense. 有女朋友了是吗？has always been a popular conversation starter for my mum, and she'd always get the same reaction from me. *Smacks forehead* 没有啦....Then she'll move on to talk about how things back home have been coming. She never fails to bring up how I've been neglecting my friends, and the guilt, the guilt of leaving so much I hold dear to behind, and not wanting to look back, the guilt that I've been trying so hard to suppress, resurfaces again. Living consecutively in 2 different environments has been hard, almost as if I've been living 2 different lives, and I can't be in 2 places at once anymore. 3 words can be used to sum up life, "it moves on" and I need to follow suit. Leaving the past behind doesn't mean I can't revisit it, and yes I'm missing home as I type this, yalam-land or otherwise. (Cue Mas selamat Joke) I think Mas Selamat went to M'sia Why? Because when I go to M'sia I see a sign with "Selamat Datang" on it. o.0................. Current Mood: contemplative

09:58 pm Its Friday, holidays are almost over and so much is left undone. My Math is half done, Econs is half done, The Great Gatsby only half-read, don't even get me started on Beloved.  I know what you're thinking "Jin Xiang you gg la" , blah but I can't help myself, procrastination is like a drug. I need to stop slacking ! CT rep meeting with head of faculties Mr Head of Faculties: So how is your class coming along in terms of attitude ? Are there any "slackers" I should know of ? Me thinking: Oh no, I think I'm the biggest slacker in the class so far Me: Nope =) the class is very motivated, no slackers whatsoever. Saturday Holidays so far has been not bad to say the least. Started off with Huang Cheng, well worth the $14 I'd say, props and effects were great, acting was not bad, a few screw-ups here and there, but hey it entertained the crowd all the same. Props to all you people from Huang Cheng, your hard work has paid off. Stayed till midnight eating supper at Macdonald's and pretty much just niaoing each other. Saw val's striped handbag which matches my striped jacket, had a few laughs with that. To quote melo: "I will never look at val and stripes the same way again." It was late to the point of having to walk someone home(am I a nice guy or what) and having to take a taxi home. Yay to 50% midnight surcharge. But I gotta say, it was fun. Wednesday Can't believe I watched a Japanese love drama (koizora), and with a group of 7 guys too(step-up 2 was sold out), how painfully funny and pathetic at the same time. And yes I admit it, I cried, I didn't bawl or anything, just teared...a..little... THERE, it takes a real man to cry and admit it. But yea, beautiful movie, I recommend watching it. (not with a group of guys though) Thursday Celebrated cp's  b'day with a meal at Cafe Cartel, then went shopping alone, yes alone, I desperately needed new shoes, my old one's had holes in them and I was walking around with soggy socks cos of all the raining. Bought a new pair of Air Force 1's, blew a gaping hole in my wallet. Guess there are merits to shopping alone, until a certain someone (Jolene) tells you :" Oh u got sneakers ? You should have went to Queensway, cheaper and more variety."...ouch.. RIGHT, for once this is an un-emo post, Sng was saying all my posts were emo, its my 1st time writing a post describing how my days went, not really sure how to end it really...um..THERE the end. Current Mood: blank

11:29 pm - 2 months It's been a really crazy 2 months, new environment, new life, new friends, some even go as far as to say I'm a new person. With moods reaching extreme highs and sinking to rock bottom ,it feels as if I'm on an emotional roller coaster, ( Cue Ronan Keating's Life Is A Roller Coaster) and it's taken its toll...it has, leaving me confused, uncertain, vulnerable, lost... Stress is starting to pile up, ILP, Math tutorials, Geog test, The Great Gatsby, Beloved...just some of the things on my "need-to-do-but-too-lazy-to" list. Other than that, guilt is starting to grow like a festering zit that just refuses to go away. Received an sms not too long ago, it went like this. "I just broke up with him" Me(Totally unsurprised and knew it was only a matter of time) : "Why ?" "Don't know" And the conversation ends there and then. Normally I would've pursued the matter, tried to offer some comfort, but I didn't. "I was too tired" "I was too busy"  try as I might, no excuses could be given, I just couldn't care anymore. My best friend of 11 years asked jokingly: "Got new friends, forgetting your old ones ?" I knew he was joking,  but  both of us knew it held some truth. People constantly walk in and out of our lives, and many "friends" only exist on a superficial level. Have I become one of these people? No..I need to set things straight, regain control...but the distance, the absence, it almost makes it impossible. I need to slow down, re-evaluate things and find myself in this labyrinth called life. Listening to Plain White T's-Let Me Take You There "I know a place that we've forgotten A place we won't get caught in" If only there really was such a place.
