:: BLACKOUT ::
there was a blackout along the stretch of road from eunos mrt to near ubi area, and a whole lot more places in sg experienced a blackout too. i was on bus 15 and all i see when i looked out of the bus window was lotsa headlights and tail lamps. the road was pitch dark, and the traffic lights weren't working. fortunately the traffic was still orderly despite the power failure.

just recently, like 2 days ago, i plugged in my portable radio and started listening to perfect 10 again. the last time the good old radio was plugged in was more than 1 month ago when i was still staying in hall. heard a couple songs which i instantly like: keane - somewhere only we know and dashboard confessional - vindicated. if u haven't heard these 2 songs, i recommend that u go dl them.
last nite i dreamt that my mum opened a hypermart and my friends were all saying how lucky i am to have a family business to run after i graduate. so i thought to myself in my dream that i should learn from my mum how to run the hypermart biz. but damn, in real life, i dun haf a biz i can run after i grad. i dun even haf any fucking idea what i wanna do after i graduate. and i dun even know what i wanna major, yet. logistics? finance? marketing? management? in pri sch, my teachers encouraged me to to have ambitions. i pushed the idea of having an ambition aside cuz i thought i was too young to decide what i wanna do. in sec sch, i decided i was still too young to think about my future. in jc, i thot i like geography a lot, but i decided i'd rather die than to be a geography teacher. so i thot being a business woman would be a goddam good idea. so now im studying business. a year ago, i told myself that it's still early to think about what i wanna do when i graduate. now, after a year, i still cannot decide where my interest lie. finance? marketing? management? logistics? this is frustrating. maybe i can push all these thots aside for the moment, and decide when my bleak future nears.

lunch at kenny rogers with the blk A pple was pretty gd. talked about camp, cute guys at camp, weird guy at camp, girls at camp, redang, and lotsa stuff. walked ard city hall a bit. then eunice bought a roxy bikini and she looks damn hot in it! sw also bought a bikini yesterday. so now we all can wear our bikinis to redang! oh, what a "sight" it'll be...
after wandering ard in raffles s.c. for a few hours, we finally decided on eating dinner at magic wok. that was my first time eating magic wok. it's like sakura. cheap and good. but i still think sakura's tom yam beats magic wok's.
i dunno... but s'pore seems to be getting more and more boring. there's no where interesting to go or nothing good to do anymore. even tho u're out with gd company, it still gets boring sometimes. i'm not saying that the "outing" today wasn't good or anything. i enjoyed meeting up with u guys and chatting about stuffs. but it still gets dull after a while with no where to go.
shucks... if no one else feels the way i do. then i think it's juz me.
happy saturday nite peeps. muacks.

the sl camp was fun, but tiring. my OG - Afro Gang - rocks. there were only 10 guys and 4 girls in my grp. despite the poor genda ratio, they were still loud and damn on about everything. for e.g. at the bash, all of them went up the platform to display their dance moves at least once that night. also, they performed the full monty during the mini concert night which was so entertaining (plus they enjoyed doing the strip tease) that we won the best skit =) now i'm looking fwd to swoc orientation and hopefully i'll get to see familiar faces then. something else, i have this really weird guy in my og that's totally like william hung. he THINKS he sings well, and he CANNOT dance. everybody doesn't really like him... he even brought along his water bottle to the club. i couldnt stand him during the camp seriously. always trying to avoid sitting near him. too bad if u think i'm evil or what... but u'll do the same if u met him.
didn't really enjoy the camp to the max cuz of flu and bad throat. now my voice is like really sexy and i'm ready to puke anytime cuz the stomach's really feeling weird. out.

the last 10 minutes of the finale episode of the o.c. was so so sad... i was tearing uncontrollably till my tshirt sleeves r wet... it must be the song they played... the choice of music on the o.c. is neat. i'm feeling sad now cuz that's the end. no more o.c. until november with season 2.

it was a really expense-free day today and that's gd for me =) met up with weili whom i haven't seen since i-dunno-when for a movie,
breaking news, which is again, not worth watching. it's another brainless HK chinese movie. the cinema was like 1/4 full anyway. most chinese movies suck. there isn't any chinese movie that i've watched with a really good storyline. according to lots, infernal affairs 1,2,3 are supposed to be like damnnnnn gooood. *shrug* didn't watch those.
thanks weili for the cab rides to and fro, for the movie, for the breadtalk bread and for the 2nd-hand smoke i inhaled.

i decided that
the be$t bet is not worth watching on the big screen,
after i've watched it in the cinema.
home run is still my favourite local movie. so according to sw, the be$t bet will be premiering on channel 8 about a year later. catch it then. it's pretty funny, but, not worth the $$. and i had to pay $7.50 cuz it's a first-week-showing-movie.
there'll be quite a few good movies coming up this summer. i'm quite excited about spiderman 2. the trailer's very exciting. peter parker's kinda cute too... aw.. i still can't forget that kiss that spidey had with mj in the rain with him hanging upside down on the alley wall...
anyway, dear readers, if u haven't heard about it, lemme tell u. there's gonna be a party at sultan of swing on 16 june. ticket costs $13 which includes a free drink. doors open at 9pm. guys who aren't enlisting so soon, pls, go to the party and enjoy urself. girls, there'll be guys who're out of army for u to urm.. web. even if u dun club, u can juz sit at the bar and enjoy the music and ogle and drink. c'mon... call or sms me if u're interested, cuz i've got da tix... or if u're handphone-shy, add me to msn: jeushster@hotmail.com or icq: 4839085 and we can talk more about the party online. get more of ur friends to the party... the more the merrier =)

i've had bad/scary dreams for 3 nites in a row. the dreams were pretty freaky... 3 nites ago, i dreamt that i killed a friend. 2 nites ago, i dreamt a bad dream i can't remember. but it was definitely a bad dream. and last nite, i dreamt that i took my sis to an ulu toilet and her soul was taken by ghosts. 3 nites in a row. it's a record. u pple should start wishing me sweet dreams b4 i hit the sack alright?
watched 5 episodes worth of The O.C. today. 4 more to go before i finish the season. i wonder if there's gonna be a season 2...
oh, after i'm done with The O.C., i'm gonna continue with smallville cuz i've left it hanging for long enough. didn't realize until a few weeks ago that i haven't finished the season yet.

if u like
finding forrester, i think u're gonna like
the united states of leland. the united states of leland is like those drama movies where everybody has fucked up lives and this one touches on morality and fucked up lives too. i like the narrating. i like the flashbacks. i like how the story ends. it's full of sadness. there isn't any part of the movie that is happy. it's not that kind of sadness that makes u cry. the sadness hurts ur heart but it doesn't make u cry. the soundtrack is very gd - sad.

it's a boring saturday. i've been out everyday since tue, so it's a good thing to stay home today. saves me from wasting $$ on transport and food and whatever.
pineapple upside down cake
baked a "pineapple upside down" cake. yup, that's the name according to the recipe. it's an upside down cake cuz u lay the pineapples at the base of the pan and pour the mix on top and bake it. then u turn the pan upside down and the cake comes out nice with the pineapple slices on the top. eh, it's slightly burnt, but still edible =)
dun take your family for granted. always treasure ur parents, and appreciate all the things (big and little) that they do for u. they've been slogging their whole lives to raise u up so that u may lead a full life. the love ur parents have for u is not proportionate to the allowances u get from them, this i've learnt. i believe that no matter what angry things ur parents say to u that they're mad, they really dun mean them. do not blame them. cuz u'll nv know how hard it is to be a parent until u become one. i admit i haven't been a perfect child. i admit i won't be able to understand what they're going thru. but i hope they'll nv give up on themselves or on us.

no more scv for me... i heard my dearest bro spoilt it. it's like PERFECT. no more hbo, cinemax, star movies, espn, star sports, mtv, animal planet, national geographic and everything good. thanks man.
i've had unlucky situations today. first, i decided to try a "shortcut" to shaw towers this morning, but to find out that the shortcut takes me to the wrong direction. so i had to walk MORE. second, library@esplanade opens at 11am, but i was there at 10am. waited for an hour, and passed the time by reading. thank goodness i brought a book out. oh, and i didnt exactly found the book i want. they only have the playwright there. third, i took bus 21 that was heading to whampoa (i'm supposed to head the opp direction towards home). i was really unlucky on the time factor today man.
i had a taste of festival of praise this evening, and the hillsong team was juz great. i'm not a christian. i went there becuz i was curious and wanted to experience and see for myself how christians praise their lord at the event. oh, and i finally met aaron's sis - cheryl. they look alike!! *duh*

im so tired out!! what a vesak day...
went sentosa cuz sw and eunice had to recce the place for the RGPS camp which they're going to be co-ordinators for. it was ok. except for all the walking and those-jokes-that-hatta-crack-and-he-thinks-he's-damn-funny-but-the-rest-of-the-world-think-otherwise. yea, palawan beach is cool =) the place was so crowded that we had to wait for about a thousand monorails to pass b4 we could all get on one when we wanted to leave the beach.
and so i was late for almost an hour cuz of the stupid monorail. thankfully, daniel drove me to suntec. shaun was very nice about me being late, he didn't get angry and said it was really ok. i felt very bad cuz i've nv been so late before. 1 hour.. that's the longest anyone had to wait for me. gave him an early bday treat at
Pho's House in suntec. walked ard suntec, then went to the roof of esplande for the first time (for me). the view from up there is very nice! too bad we got chased by the security cuz it was closing.
met up with jy, dom, yj, pearl, pearl's bf, candy and jolene for coffee after that. it's nice and warming to meet up with old friends =) dom still cracks me up. he's da best. tho his hairstyle really suck. urm, i wasn't very nice to him la.. first thing i said to him after 2 years was "hey dominic! ur hair... it sucks!" =P
tired tired.. but i doubt i'll be able to slp early cuz i drank like 2 cups of coffee... one with shaun... one with dom and co.

song stuck in my head:
gone by switchfoot
She told him she'd rather fix her makeup
than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
even with the cell phone gone
She told him that she believes in living
bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
and upside down
Don't say so long, and throw your cell phone
Don't spin today away, cause today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone,
Like history is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
And pretend like you're immortal
She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every day we borrow brings us
one step closer to the edge, infinity
Where's your treasure, where's your hope
if you get the world and lose your soul?
She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal
Don't say so long, you're not that far gone
This could be your big chance to make up
Today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
You're going, going, gone
Like summer break is gone,
Like saturday is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
You pretend like you're immortal.
We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate
We're so confident
In our accomplishments
Look at our decadence
Gone, like Frank Sinatra, like Elvis and his mom,
Like Al Pachino's cash, nothing lasts in this life
Gone, my high school dreams are gone,
my childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn't last for long.
Life is more than money, time was never money
Time was never cash, life is still more than girls.
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills,
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills,
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age but do
We know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages?
She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every moment that we borrow brings us closer
to the God who's not short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked
Life is still worth living, life is more than what we are. janet at 2:14 AM

there are times i dun feel like going for appointments/meetings, for reasons such as it's too early in the morning to go out, or maybe the meeting will be plain useless... i felt this way this morning for the swoc cousellor meeting. cuz it was pushed fwd to 10 am. and i usually wake up at noon or after noon. the thing is, i went for it. no, dun be proud of me. i went for the meeting cuz i was looking fwd to the lunch. ya, u dun hafta tell me that i haf no life. cuz i know that already! i haven't been out since the last meeting? going back to hall doesn't count as going out. going the lib doesn't count either. so i was kinda yearning to eat out, cuz it counts as going out. and i dun go out cuz i haf no $$ (yaya.. i can go on and on about how poor i am). and yes i know i can still go out even if im low on cash, but it juz ain't fun. u won't know how i feel unless u've been me. u won't like the feeling anyway.
lunch was good (thankfully, cuz it costs me $16). ate the all american baked rice at nydc.
oh then we, as in hh, aaron, kg and i headed to raffles s.c. to check out the 4 australian guys who're living in the esprit showcase. one of em spotted hh's shirt -which has "love stinks" printed on it - and gave hh 2 thumbs up. *shrug*. it was quite boring looking at them under the hot sun since they weren't doing anything interesting i.e. bathing, peeing, shitting, cooking etc etc. seriously, it'll be more interesting to watch then, right??
i was so bored out, and was supposed to go home after we all parted, then aaron called and suggested going to borders to read some mags. so.. y not? it's better than walking ard aimlessly doing window shopping which will make me feel worse cuz my wallet's almost empty. flipped a few mags. i dun really like to read the lengthy articles the mags have, but i prefer to see photos of bags, clothes and shoes. i wonder if there's a catalogue like that. it'll be like window shopping, but u do it w/o straining ur legs from too much walking or ur arms from too much pushing of clothes on the stands. then u can circle the stuffs u like with red marker, and juz talk all about buying all the goods in the catalogue =)
