My Mindless Rants

I'm just a little weird sometimes

Upside down

2011-08-07T01:10:00.003+08:00

Lots of things have happened over the past month, my unforgettable POP which marked a most extraordinary end to my BMT life and marked my new start as a combat engineer. My POP was bittersweet really, i didn't really realise how much i would miss my old company until i actually left them. Pegasus warrior always

My life in my new unit will take some getting use to though. I'm just going in with an open mind as always and i will definitely try to make the most out of it. This pretty much sums up my life so far without sounding too longwinded.

I decided to tweak around with the blog design a little, nothing too flashy but i like the way it looks now so i'm gonna leave it that way for awhile. Added a notable quote for Toradora, it was notable in my opinion, its just the the simplicity of his reply is really romantic in my eyes and perhaps simplicity is something most of us lack in our lives in these bustling times.

Must do a proper post! By sadly time does not permit, i guess i shouldn't really blame my lack of posts on time constrains. Its more like i don't allocate time to do it.

Gratitude

2011-05-29T13:55:00.002+08:00

Apart from your friends and family back home, the people that really help you get through your BMT life will be your fellow recruits and your commanders. They are the people that are with you every single step of the way. They are there when you wake up and when you go to sleep.

You could say that when i started my BMT life one of my more major concerns was my commanders. What were they going to be like? Were they going to be nice or an incarnate of jackassery? I am truly very thankful to be in this company and not some other insane ass company cause granted all commanders have to be strict i mean come on its the army. My commanders aren't very laid back but they are not "insane" when it comes to dishing out punishments and i am thankful for that. They are infact all really nice people, my sect com comes up to chat with us at night when there is time and not every company does this.

I have a huge amount of respect for my commanders and there was an incident that occurred last friday which increased my gratitude towards my sect com tenfold. The reason being he really went out of his way to help my buddy and myself. This was something he DID not have to do but he did it anyway.

So heres what went down. I attained a silver for my IPPT and i had another IPPT test last tuesday. IPPT is basically like a fitness test they have different stations like pull ups, sit ups, 2.4km run etc. You get the point. So i had to attain a silver again or i will not book out on friday and have to stay back on saturday to do a remedial training. Which sucks.

Sadly due to my inconsistent jumping i failed to maintain my silver and i was going to do remedial training. That really bums me out, as you can imagine i do not have a whole lot of free time and time outside camp is truly precious to me. When they read out the names for the RT list my buddy's name and my name were called out. My buddy too failed to maintain his silver. We were devastated of course we tried to psyched ourselves up but it didnt help all too much.

Thats when my sergeant left for a few and came back a couple of minutes later saying
"Ok Johnathan and Nicholas you guys are booking out later"
I was ecstatic i tell ya completely filled with joy. When we left for the ferry at about 8pm i was constantly thanking him and stuff. He really stuck his neck out for us and i just can't stress enough how much i appreciated what he did.

Dirt Sweat and Tears

2011-05-27T23:23:00.003+08:00

Field camp is probably the thing most if not all recruits dread the most. Personally, i dont think anyone would like it. It is a pretty brutal experience unless you are some military junkie then hey whatever rocks your boat.

On the first day of my field camp i had to do a 8km route march to the site which was quite alright because it started raining and route marching in the rain is pretty dam awesome it beats route marching in the sun any day. When we got there we set up basha tents and did other stuff i cant seem to recall.

The next few days got even worst. On the second night we did something called a turnout. A turnout is where your commanders wake up at 4am in the morning with thunderflashes to simulate an artillery attack. Then you gotta get down on the floor and shout RT RT RT. It was pure chaos i tell ya. Then they will start yelling a whole lot of insults and shit at you and ask you to pack up your stuff and move. If you are the kind that cant keep a level head you'll probably lose it at that point.

Thankfully i managed to pack my stuff and go. The biggest problem i had with field camp was probably the high kneel. It hurts like hell especially with your ILBV on which has a good amount of weight to it and after your turn out you gotta high kneel with both your ILBV and field pack.

After the entire field camp i was sweaty, dirty and tired and my head had so much sand on it. It was kinda disgusting in my opinion. I only brushed my teeth twice through out the 5 days.
Then when it was time for us to go back we were told that we had to route march the 8km back. That was just wow, it really brought me down. However, i had platoon mates encouraging each other which made it a little better.

But it turns out the commanders were just fucking around with us and we were gonna take the tonner(a truck) back. I kid you note the moment i heard "You guys will not be route marching back but instead you will be going back in the tonner" I shed tears of joy. Pure freakin joy.

Field camp was exhausting but it shows you who your true friends are and helps you weed out the ones that arent worth your time. All in all i would say i came out a better person.

Rebirth

2011-05-22T02:07:00.002+08:00

I am REALLY going to try to keep this blog alive. Looking at my last post date you can clearly see that i do not blog all too regularly but i am gonna do my best to keep it going.

As most people know i am currently doing my BMT, i enlisted at 5 March 2011. All i can say is that it was a real roller coaster the past couple of weeks. I remembered exactly how i felt when i was enlisting. I was so afraid, so unprepared for the hellish torture the army calls physical training, so petrified for what terrible things could happen to me but alas the military life has really opened my eyes to things i have missed or neglected in the past. Granted i hated the fact that i had to serve my two years but when i went in i really pushed myself to adopt a positive attitude because hey, if i had to do it anyway why not make the most out of it yeah?

Instead of viewing this two years as a complete waste of time i decided to view it as both physical and mental training plus i have always believed the army is a really good character building opportunity. I am proud to say this positive mindset has in fact worked out for the best. The first few days were tough of course, having to switch from my care free civilian lifestyle to a discipline and regimented lifestyle was no easy task but i powered through and within the first week i can confidently say i was more or less accustomed to the lifestyle there.

My biggest difficulties was the training at first and the showers cause i definitely was not use to training that was so physically demanding and i sure as hell was not use to cold ass showers. I have always loved warm showers and i still do. The army really makes you appreciate the things you take for granted, as cliche as it sounds. Its the small things you miss the most like your fast food, soft drinks, chocolates, cookies these little things that, in the past do not hold that much significance suddenly becomes as valuable as gold doubloons. It is funny when i think about it really.

Right now after all the training and crap i have been through i can confidently say i am becoming both physically and mentally fitter. One piece of advice i can give to new recruits is that your mental strength is more valuable and harder to train then your physical strength. There is just so much you can achieve with an iron will. My commanders implanted this saying into me from the first day.

I actually wanted to talk more about outfield, my commanders other stuff but it seems this post is starting to become terribly long, those who have read this far. I appreciate your patience.

2010-08-10T22:48:00.001+08:00

this blog is pretty dead, dam im a horrible blogger. Ill do a full post in a few days maybe

2010-06-26T18:24:00.003+08:00

Have you ever felt so down about something that you just want to cry and let it out?
I cant seem to let it out and it feels horrible maybe its not bugging me as much as i thought it was so thats why i dont cry about it? I dont know what to think really

2010-06-23T00:12:00.000+08:00

how does one handle stuff like this?

2010-06-22T01:18:00.002+08:00

Having a really hard ass time falling asleep lately. Its like i almost dread going to bed. Nothing new happened recently, just the usual. I guess I've been feeling kinda down lately =/ lots to think about tryin to sort myself out and stuff.

2010-06-08T16:29:00.002+08:00

i feel a little frustrated and perhaps angry at myself, there are certain aspects of myself i feel that i should change but when it really comes down to it;i just do not know how. I've always thought it will come naturally. Maybe it will? then again maybe not either way ill find a way to work through it.

2010-04-08T20:57:00.003+08:00

Sooo yeah school started for me, the past few days have just been orientation. Met a whole lot of new people, its pretty alright i guess. I mean i still feel that the orientation is taking way too long but oh well.

2010-03-29T18:00:00.003+08:00

I use to have this insanely naive way of thinking that anything my friends do or say to me is mutually exclusive. Now that i actually think back it does sound so incredibly silly. This post doesn't really have any meaning it was just something that kinda popped in my head xD

I have a question for you. Do you treat everyone you meet the same way? Quite frankly i find myself incapable of doing that. If i really think about it i think its way of showing my old friends how special and unique they are to me so i don't treat everyone the same way. Its not that i don't enjoy meeting new people of course i do but i just don't really know how to do it "right". Lol maybe this makes no sense at all xD

Lastly, if one of your classmates scored a 85/100 for a test. One would say that he/she is an intelligent person but what is intelligence really? In my opinion, i have never looked at lets say someone who scored 5 As and say wow this person is intelligent. Sure they are clever in their own right but hey it could also mean they have awesome memory.

A few years back i read about something called seven intelligence and if you look at the 7 intelligence mentioned not once is the word "good memory" mentioned. http://professorlamp.com/ed/TAG/7_Intelligences.html
Maybe not everyone would agree with the seven intelligence mentioned by i for one find it extremely interesting and insightful knowing that there is more then one way to be "intelligent".

Now that i actually took a step back and looked at this post. WOW it is a giant fudge cake of random.

2010-03-02T16:27:00.000+08:00

oh how i miss your old sound

Dream Tears

2010-02-26T23:22:00.004+08:00

Wheeew, lately ive been trying to rekindle with my past. People who know me would know that im a really sentimental and nostalgic person. A few days ago when i was asleep, i had this wierd dream. I can't really describe it in detail not because i don't want to i just can't really put them in words =p

In my dream, just before it ended. I remembered crying or someone was crying. When i woke up i realized i had tears in my eyes. I don't remember yawning when i woke up and my eyes don't get watery when i wake up sooo yeah i was kind baffled by it.

2010-02-24T15:43:00.002+08:00

Havent been back here in awhile. Everything seems to be moving so fast after the O levels. I guess thats just the way things are meant to be. I have not ranted or something in awhile xD a rant is loong overdue.

Look at this

Recognition score
( if you saw it )

Your score: 100%

Average score: 92%

This is a measure of your ability to remember the photos you've seen, regardless of the part in which you saw them. From all 24 photos shown in Parts 1 & 2, you recognised: 24 photo(s).
Temporal memory score
( when you saw it )

Your score: 91%

Average score: 68%

This is a measure of how often you recognised a photo and matched it to the correct part, instead of just remembering which ones you'd seen. From all the photos you recognised, you matched: 22 photo(s) to the correct part.

Seems like im pretty good with faces 8D

2010-01-17T17:14:00.002+08:00

Everything just fell apart this year and im still picking up the pieces. I gotta get my shit together. I Hope everyone else is doing better. Despite all the negatives that has happened, it is really an eye opener.

you lift my feet off the ground you spin me around
you make me crazier crazier
feels like im falling
and i'm lost in your eyes
you make me crazier crazier crazier

I really need to grow up

The Erms and the Umms

2010-01-08T22:29:00.002+08:00

Lately i noticed that i actually feel like i did something wrong when i ask a person a question via online chatting(not IRL) and they reply when the word Erm then followed by their answer and i do not know why i feel this way lol.

Frankly i would prefer it if they said Umm instead cause with Umm it sounds like you're thinking while Erm sounds like "I-don't-really-want-to-reply-you-but-i'm-going-to-so-i-don't-seem-like-an-ass." Meh i don't know it was just something i kinda noticed.

Hope everyone is having a fine start to their new year eh?

Cheers

Personality Type Report

Your Personality Preferences

EXTROVERT
You are social and outgoing. You are most comfortable when with other people and experiencing the world first hand. Interaction with others and first hand experiences energize you. It is not unlike you to start conversations with strangers. You have a preference for the outer world: people, activities, and things. Other people provide you with a mirror, sounding board to help you develop ideas and plans. Being alone may sap your energies. Your concept of the world is derived from experiencing it firsthand and then drawing conclusions.

SENSORY / INTUITIVE
You appear to be an equal mix of both sensory and intuitive types. This may cause you some conflict at times. On the other hand the balance of the two may work just fine for you. There is certainly nothing wrong with having a fair share of both types if you are happy. Below you will find descriptions of both types.

SENSORY
You usually gather information with your senses: what you can see, hear, taste, touch and smell in the physical world. The facts gathered from the sensory data you process are the building blocks of your model of our world. You concentrate your energies on what actually exists and do not ponder what might exist too much. You are usually practical and rely on your common sense to guide you through the world. You see things as they are and have little or no need to search for underlying meanings.

INTUITIVE
While you do process information through your senses you add a twist to your processing by relying on intuition and serendipity. You look for undercurrents of meaning and abstractions in what you experience physically. You do not just see things just as they are, but as what they could be. While you may rely on common sense at times, you trust inspiration far more.

2010-01-03T23:19:00.000+08:00

Just thought ill share a little test thing i took 8D

Self-Esteem Inventory
for Nicholas
Your Score is 70 Percent

Indications are you are comfortable enough with who you are to not hold yourself back from having a happy life.

You are certainly aware you are not perfect and you have moments of self-doubt. At times you might even chide yourself, and be overly sensitive to the criticisms of others. However, none of the above makes you distance yourself from others for long, or stop moving toward your goals. While you may not be comfortable in certain social situations, they do not intimidate you to the point of fleeing. Nor are you so riddled with self-doubt that you are rarely able to speak your mind, or defend your position on a particular issue.

Fortunately, like most of us your sense of self-worth does not allow you to make a habit of devaluing yourself unrealistically. You do not forget to pat yourself on the back for a job well done. In relationships you do not habitually play the role of tyrant or lamb. Overall you are well balanced and adjusted.

2010-01-02T23:18:00.002+08:00

Just give up, let it go, forget about it. Are you willing to risk it all? You idiot

2009-12-28T22:44:00.002+08:00

2009-11-29T00:33:00.003+08:00

Wow its been quite a while since my last post, so here goes. Soooo AFA just ended not too long ago. It was alright i guess i didnt cosplay for both days i just went down to take a look around. Seen some amazing and very cool cosplays. What kinda bums me out about AFA was the price of the dam tickets. It got freakin raised by quite abit.

It was what 10 or 8 last year? and its like 20 dollars now. Pfft

Plus i actually fell asleep on both days xD i just sat in a corner and just dozed off 8D reminds me of AFA08 where i did the same thing after cosplaying, it was my first event where i actually went down and cosplayed so AFA was pretty nostalgic for me.

I think theres something i wana rant about but it just isnt coming to mind right now cause its kinda late and i slept at like 3am yesterday. Im pretty worned out right now, had a pretty long day. I guess thats that.

2009-10-18T22:49:00.002+08:00

2009-10-11T16:26:00.002+08:00

Im quite surprised that the zodiac predictions are actually pretty accurate. My next post will be about something a little more interesting.

Taurus and Friendship:
A Taurus is an excellent friend. Taurus has few close friends as opposed to many acquaintances. The few people they hold dear to them are guarded and protected. Their friends are treated like family and they are fiercely loyal and dependable. Taurus loves to be the host or hostess. Although not a total social butterfly, they can be shy around strangers, the people who Taurus let into their lives are lavishly catered to when Taurus decides to throw a party, they decorate and present everything lavishly. Taurus will always pamper themselves and their close group of friends.

Taurus Temperament:
Taurus are deeply sensitive, the slightest comment or negative remark will be taken personally and they can easily get offended or hurt. Their stubborn streak results in laziness. They can be very lazy when someone gives them orders or wants them to do something they do not want to do. They are not lazy when it comes to themselves,

Taurus Deep Inside:
Taurus are not fond of change. In fact, is change is imminent, they get very nervous and worried. They do not like anything new because anything new is unknown and Taurus fears the unknown. Taurus needs order in their lives and when they do not have order, they get very anxious. Taurus will cut themselves off from the unfamiliar in order to avoid the feelings of insecurity that arise when new experiences and situations are present. Taurus do not express their feelings openly and their inner self is contained and secretive. Many people do not know how sensitive Taurus really is, they hide it well. As a result, they are often emotionally hurt when the wrong things are said, they take things too personally sometimes. Taurus avoids talking about their emotions and many people never really know how they feel.

Taurus in a Nutshell:
Taurus is the one who has immense perseverance, even when others have given up, the Taurus rages on. Solid and persistent, just like the bull, which is Taurus' well suited symbol. Taurus's have a well known reputation for being stubborn, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The stubborn streak can cause Taurus to butt heads and conflict with other strong character types. Taurus are not fond of change. They like the familiar and routine comfort of life. Taurus is easy going and not one to pick a fight but should some poor souls attempt to provoke Taurus, the wrath will be known, for they have a temper underneath the calm surface. Taurus are very responsive to their surroundings. They like decorations, color, anything that appeals to all the senses. Taurus like possessions and the Taurus home is nicely decorated with lots of things. Taurus are down to earth, they do not like gaudy, flashy or over the top things. They prefer comfortable and creative settings and objects. Taurus likes security, in every aspect of their lives from home, to love, to career. Taurus can be secretive, opinionated and stingy. Taurus tend to be self-indulgent and lazy, Taurus are master procrastinators of the astrology zodiac! They do however have a strong, persistent drive that comes to life when they chose, and no one would ever know that they are lazy. The secret to this is that their laziness is pushed aside when it comes to themselves.

Oh wow

2009-10-04T22:01:00.003+08:00

I was just browsing through youtube and i came upon this video maybe some of you have seen it before its pretty old, around 8 months to be precise. This video is pretty pointless it doesnt have any meaning but once i started watching it, i couldnt stop. There are some bits in the video that i found kinda funny xD i mean it was so strangely adorable that it was funny. I like the pocky bit, i quote

"Boxxy plus pocky equals <3"

o.o <== was the look on my face the entire 5mins of the video. So yeeeaah thats about it

Idiot

2009-09-28T22:48:00.004+08:00

Alright so now you know more about vegeterians. Personally, i feel that it is definetely very admirable that they can live with out killing animals for food. I really do. We live in a world where killing animals like chicken, cow, fish for food is a norm. Its no big deal right? We see it everyday on the tv and everwhere around us. It does not disturb or repulse us. Why? because we grew up eating meat. Actually, i have considered going vegeterian but i dont think i can pull it off. I grew up on meat and for me to stop after 17 years is definetely doable but its going to be extremely difficult. There are multiple reasons why people become vegeterian.

Religous reasons, im not going to touch on this group because i feel that they didnt really have a choice in becoming a vegeterian soo yeah.

Parents told them to when they are still young. Im not going to touch on this group as well.

Choice of lifestyle. Im gonna talk about this.

Ok so what i am about to say next is completely my own opnion im not entirely sure if this is how they really feel.
I feel that these people chose to be vegeterian because they feel that killing animals for food is wrong when it is possible to live of plant produce. Others say its our way of life, its how we survive. Well i kinda have this scenerio for you, lets say one day giants appeared on our planet and for them to survive they have to eat humans. Now will you sit still and let them eat you? Its almost the same thing here actually. Im not condemning meat-eaters because im one myself but im just giving you something to think about. Soo yeah thats all i have to say.

I guess when i really think about it, ultimately its just the way we were brought up.

Im gonna end this post with a line from a song im obsesssing over 8D Cara mia means my beloved in italian. If you watch adams family you should know what it means xD

"I swear I'm never gonna leave you. Cara cara mia. You're the one for me"

Vegeterians

2009-09-27T23:28:00.002+08:00

Recently ive been having alot of conversations popping up around me about vegeterians or related to vegeterians, so i thought hey im gonna rant and talk about it. First off to educate some of you, i take F&N so i learn about the different types of vegeterians(yeah there are infact 3 types of vegeterians)

The first type of vegeterian is called the vegan, they are the strictest form of vegeterians. They do not touch anything of animal orgins, that includes fish, meat, milk, cheese, eggs etc

The second type of vegeterian is called the lacto-vegeterian, they are in the middle of the vegeterian scale so they are definetely more laid back then vegans. As the name suggests they take in milk products like cheese yoghurt etc. However they do not eat eggs.

The third type of vegeterian is called the lacto-ova-vegeterian, they are the most laid back out of the three. They do not eat meat but they do eat eggs and milk products.

Ok since its kinda late now im gonna break this rant up into two bits, the first bit will just talk about vegeterians in general, giving you a greater understanding of vegeterians. Ill continue tommrow, have an awesome day

2009-09-22T19:10:00.001+08:00

You are the sort of person that needs a peaceful environment. You seek release from stress and freedom from conflicts and disagreements, of which you seem to have had more than your fair share. But you are taking pains to control the situation by proceeding cautiously and you are right in doing so as you are a very sensitive person.

You are feeling very disillusioned at this time and you feel that you are being left out of things. You know - or you think you know - what you want, but you seem unable to exert the effort to achieve your objectives. As a consequence, you are feeling left out and neglected. You would like to be afforded greater security and fewer problems.

In spite of all the opposition, you are insisting that your goals are realistic but circumstances are forcing you to compromise. You are not very happy with this situation but there is little that you can do about it. You have very strict standards which you try to apply to everyone who enters your sphere of influence.

The stress and tension that you are experiencing at this time is perhaps due to your inability to achieve security and appreciation from those closest to you. This is resulting in considerable pressures. You find the situation as it stands most frustrating. You are the sort of person that would like to experience all and everything very intensely but unfortunately you are not receiving the warmth and understanding that you feel you are entitled to. Matters are not going too well. You seek a sympathetic ear but it is not forthcoming. This situation is extremely nerve-racking - and what is more humiliating is that no-one seems to care and you are powerless to do anything about it.

You are inclined to be too trusting and you feel that you need to be on your guard against the possibility that your endeavours and actions may be misunderstood. Too often you have been taken advantage of and you have been mentally abused. Now you are seeking a relationship which can provide peace of mind, where you can be yourself and not have the need to put on a false front.

Here it comes

"Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel .

Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so,

Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you.

Can't help it if there's no one else.

I was feeling insanely bored today but i managed to get some revision done. I was on youtube looking at Taylor Swift song covers. Then i listened to one of her songs i have never heard before called Hey Stephen. I am just loving the song xD its very catchy.

Thanks for listening(reading) in. Ill do a proper post in due time.

2009-08-06T23:05:00.003+08:00

I just watched the Kakashi gaiden of Naruto and i have to say that i have developed a whole new level of respect for kakashi and Obito. Initially Obito struck me as a very hot-headed person and who is relatively "useless" in a way he is like Naruto. Then his sharingan kicks in and woooo xD While i was watching the 2 eps i had constant chills from watching them together fight, it was just spectacular. It was like watching someone use a shot gun and a katana at the same time it was just mind blowing.

Putting yourself in their shoes, lets say as a ninja you are now placed in a difficult situation of choosing between the success of a mission or the lives of your comrades. Keeping in mind that the success of the mission might prevent even more lives from being lost. When it comes down to the crunch i dont know what i will do. Its just too diffucult for me to choose.

I never knew that as a kid Kakashi was so strict and always abided by the regulations of being a Ninja and when Obito saved him and got crushed by the rock oh man... i think i died a little inside while watching that. I want to dedicate this post to Obito's selflessness and he never got a chance to tell Rin how he really felt D: Thats just really sad

On a side note, yes i am aware that they aren't real people.

2009-08-04T18:59:00.000+08:00

Hm i feel like changing my blogskin but to what?
Decisions decisions

2009-08-02T22:13:00.002+08:00

Alright, time for a post.
So i had English Paper 1 and SS prelims last friday. Overall i felt pretty good about it but i wont get my hopes up. We'll see what happens.
On sat i did some volunteering work with Evie, Orochi, May and Ven at Se-arch party. We cosplayed for CIP hours, how cool is that? We did our stuff till about 4.40+ it was almost 5 then i went home after that. Overall a very cool day met a few new cool people xD
The most memorable bit for me at least. There was this japanese guy there he talked with all of us for abit cause he saw as cosplaying xD he was really cool

Japanese man: "Konnichiwa"
Me: *Stunned for abit* "oh Konnichiwa"
Japanese man: "oh? You speak japanese"
Me: "No xD"

It might not seem very funny cause it happened very quickly xD

Sidenote, i have been doing alot of studying lately. I gotta hang in there till the Os. One step at a time eh?

2009-07-29T23:00:00.002+08:00

"How do you dance ?"- Taiga
"We hold hands and look at each other, then we go in circles until we get tired."- Kitamura

Even though this is what they really did, they just went in circles. I feel that the simplictiy of it makes it extremely beautiful. The way he said it and all.

2009-07-26T22:25:00.002+08:00

I realised i have not really ranted about anything recently xD so here goes

When you meet someone for the first time be it face to face or through msn and such. You obviously dont feel all that close to that person, its only logical you feel that way. However, what if that person tells you secrets or things he/she feels about but never expressed to anyone else before. No one but you. My question is will you feel closer to that person?

Think about it, he/she told no one else about how they really felt about certain issues, no one but you obviously he/she finds you special. You hold a very special place in that persons life, otherwise why would they spend time telling you all those things. Recently ive realised that not everyone feels this way infact i think most people dont feel this way at all. Maybe its just me, maybe all this makes no sense to anyone else but me.

Do you know how it feels to think that even though you find this person very special and you care alot about him/her. That person might not have even have the thought crossed their mind, maybe to them you are just some one else they know just like any other friend they know.
It feels dreadful, it feels like you are too simple/boring to leave an impression you feel completely and utterly useless. Maybe all this is a load of crap but sadly i feel this way sometimes.

2009-07-25T23:06:00.003+08:00

Quite the contrary to most opnions i have heard about the sixth harry potter movie. I actually thought it was ok i mean yeah there was quite alot of talking. I thought it was pretty comedic at times i didnt think it was that bad, it actually followed the book this time. Sure it left out some bits but it cant be helped. Overall i liked it

2009-07-23T21:52:00.001+08:00

I actually kinda tweaked the mini poem which is in one of my earlier posts
This is what i came up with xD

As I lay in bed thinking of all things that are just not right,
Wondering why do I put up this fight?
Wouldn’t it be easier to just give up?
Then life will be pleasant, like music from a harp.
Yes, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense,
But I have to do something and not just sit on the fence.
I’ve never been more afraid or sure about anything else.
Maybe it will help me find something more about myself.
I am not looking for time to kill so,
call it intuition if you will

There is something i have to do and no it does not involve school.
Ive never been more afraid or sure about anything else.
Maybe it will help me find something more about myself.
I am not looking for time to kill so,
call it intuition if you will

I just felt like rhyming and this is what i came up with o.o Sorry if you think its full of crap xD
i kinda did it in like 2 mins or something

2009-07-19T11:16:00.002+08:00

Its been a while since i last updated. Yesterday was sakura's 16th(i actually mean 20th) birthday it was fun. We had dinner at swensens and went to suntec to cut the cake xD After that we just talked and walked around for a few before going home.

I got home at around 11.45+ i went to shower and bed after. Sucky thing was i could not fall asleep at all. My mind was too active i kept thinking about one random thing to the next. Its not those cases where you do feel tired but cant fall asleep. I was completely awake! I was up till 2.30+am then i decided to use the computer so i used it till maybe 3+ and tried to fall asleep again. I think i fell asleep in the next 30mins and i woke up at 10am today. Thats about it xD

2009-07-13T21:32:00.001+08:00

Thank you Jorlene for making feel so much better really
i truly appreciate that. Thank you for unclogging my sappy idiotic mindset and making me see
something i was too dam blind to noticed.

2009-07-13T19:07:00.003+08:00

im oddly depressed at something that should not be a big deal but for some odd reason i am making a big deal out of it ITS JUST SO STUPID. Its eating me on the inside, it makes me wonder what kind of person i really am. Its slowly driving me insane i have the choice of allowing it to drive me insane or not but i chose to just let it be. There is something wrong with me, why would you choose to feel discomfort or pain? I am really screwing myself

Yes this is a very very idiotic post please do not bother

2009-07-13T18:11:00.001+08:00

wow ive just been kinda busy lately. i promise a proper post in due time

2009-07-05T23:56:00.002+08:00

Credicts to Ferlyn for the picture

Alright time to talk about TGX/WCG on saturday. I got there at about 2pm, had a team meeting till about 3.12+ then i went to "work" as a(its a rarity words like these are used on this blog) Sai Kang Warrior meaning i took care of their belongings. I went to look for stanley and may, and may lead me to the stuff so yeah i sat there and took care of it xD i had music to accompany me. After about 30 mins? give or take 10-20 minutes. Deo and Hidan came to keep my company, then Ferlyn came and we took a picture xD and wooh i look stupid. After that may came back to take her stuff cause she had to leave, and i was free from Sai kang duty xD Deo and Hidan had to leave after that so i went to look for the team at burger king and had dinner there. After that we went back to the event for abit and headed to bugis where i played Lan with a few friends just for the fun of it. It was an alright day, nothing too fantastic happened.

That is all

2009-06-30T22:35:00.002+08:00

A good friend of mine just pointed out to me that i am bad and to an extend suck at socialising with people im not too use to going out with and you know what she is so dam right. I am too quiet, i mean i've known i was quiet but i just haven't really given it a second thought. Even though i dont remain completely silent, i mean if you talk to me ill definately talk to you, this has to change. Not only does it have to change i WANT it to change.

End mini rant

2009-06-28T13:54:00.002+08:00

So yesterday i was at the Mascot Parade at orchard. I was actually going to meet Ven, May and Amy at 10.15am but for some reason i woke up at 7.30+ and read an sms saying they pushed it an hour forward so i was like "Oooh yeah more sleep" but i only slept for another 30mins before actually waking up. At 11.15am i met them and turns out ahboy was there too so we went to buy tickets for transformers at 12.30pm.
The movie was pretty good i mean it definately has more action then the first but the story was a little undefined and a little cliche. It was still alright i guess.
After the movie i went to change into my outfit and we went to the parade.

Overall it was a really tiring day but very fun nonetheless and May has alot of fanboys xDD(dont hit me). After the event i met Hidan, Stan, Sai and May at pepper lunch. It was really funny and entertaining xD After that May went to change out and we sent her to Douby Gaut station before heading to the arcade. I played guitar freak and i kinda sucked, after the arcade we went to drink/eat and after that we went home.

Yes, pretty dull wall of text most. Im too lazy to go look for pictures
That is all

2009-06-17T22:29:00.005+08:00

So yeah finally i have the time to talk about saturday. The event was at somerset, it was just awesome. I met alot of people i havent seen in a while, it was great seeing all of them. Initially i wasnt planning to cosplay, i actually live pretty far away from somerset. When i got there i saw a few of my friends cosplaying and i was like oh man i should have packed my costume. The urge to cosplay was too much for me to handle in the end, so i left at around 2+ and went home to get my stuff came back at around 3+

I went to change my pants and the moment i wore my coat and overcoat. I was just like "Wooooo~ feels like an oven" It was kinda uncomfortable but still bearable. Now to list the people i met that day

Ah-boy
Jugo-chan
Karin
Usagi-san
Kaka
Ven
Onion
Dei-dei
Toky
Sochii
Lawliet
Blacklash
Hooolahoop
Sai
Ferlyn
Stan
Chouji
Spikey-pein
Zetsu
The Zabuza and Haku(it was such a surprise meeting them)

i think thats about it if i forgot someone im sorry D8-

I saw May too in according to her a gothic lolita maid outfit didnt get to talk to her sadly D8

So at about 7pm+ we stopped and went for dinner, i wanted to join Sochii, Lawliet and Toky for dinner but i didnt D8 and whats more i forgot to take a picture with them. It was a shame aint it? I went to plaza sing for dinner and we met leader and lady pein later. Overall a very awesome day, it was great meeting all of them again

Full credit for the picture goes to Usagi-San.

2009-06-15T00:24:00.001+08:00

Will have a proper post regarding the cosplay event i went to tommrow

Little red ball

2009-06-11T18:42:00.002+08:00

I got back on tues, after my chalet. I had to leave early cause my left arm started to hurt, so anyways onto something more depressing.

The moment i got home, i went to my computer turned it on and i was planning to game. When all of a sudden, it gave me a bluescreen. For those who do not know what a bluescreen is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Screen_of_Death.

I was seriously sad and extremely ticked off at the same time. Note that i was AWAY from my computer for the past 2 days. It was working fine when i left it, there was nothing wrong with it at all. Moment i got back BAM bluescreen. I have developed a seriously hatred for Dell computers or Vista depending on which of the two caused the bluesceen. Im guessing its Dell cause from what ive seen Bluescreen is a very technical issue so yeah.

I know some of you might be thinking hey its no big deal right? Your computer crashed big woop. I can completely understand that so lets do a short excercise so you can relate and understand how i am feeling.

Picture yourself playing with a little red ball, you really love this red ball, you just love playing with it. Now one day, you have to leave for camp for the next few days. You lovingly placed your little red ball in the corner of your room. Knowing that you will have an extremely fun time at camp but still looking forward to the day. You will be reunited with your little red ball again. Before you know it, camp is over and you are home again. You throw your bag of sweat and dirt infested clothing on the floor and ran into your room and there it is, your little red ball waiting loyaly at the very same place you left it. You walk towards it and picked it up. You playfully threw your ball in the air. You feel immense happiness. When all of a sudden BOOM your ball pops. Not deflate it pops erfectly fine when you left it and now its gone. Now how would you feel?

Yes i am aware it was extremely dramatic it was meant to be that way. Im not saying i have such a intimate relationship to in inanimate object. So yeah you can roughly relate to how im feeling. That is all

I'm forever blowing bubbles

2009-06-04T23:26:00.003+08:00

"I'm forever blowing bubbles,

Pretty bubbles in the air.

They fly so high,

Nearly reach the sky,

Then like my dreams,

They fade and die."

So basically Green Street Elites aka Football Hooligans is a movie. It stars Lord of the Rings's Elijah Wood aka Frodo Baggins. The movie is about the life of football fanatics waaaay back, i doubt they still have many people that are as hardcore as they were back then. The movie talks about Matt Bucknr(Elijah Wood) who got framed at Harvard for posessing drugs. He was framed by his roomie, so he takes the fall for him and got expelled. He does not fight back because he feels that he will never win even if he did.

Fast forward, he goes to England to live with his sister. There he meets her husband's brother named Pete. Thats when it all began, he hangs out with Pete. Pete is a leader of a football club's firm. The football club he suppports is West Ham, his firm is called, you guessed it Green Street Elites or as they call it the GSE. Firms are alot like gangs, what they do is they beat up another club's firm or do things that piss them off. Just visit this link to get the full story if you dont plan on watching the movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Street

What i love about the movie, it teaches you in a very crude and violent way that there are times you just have to stand your ground and fight and at the end of the show it teaches you that there are times where you just have to know when to not fight. Its a pretty inspiring movie, its simply amazing. Although its a pretty vulgar movie lol. The word Fuck/Cunt is used more often then amount of Twinkies your average fat american boy can eat and thats ALOT of Twinkies.

The most memorable quote in the movie

"You stand your ground. You fight! Just think of someone you hate!"

2009-06-02T00:14:00.003+08:00

These 2 shots were taken by me on Tip's DSLR camera, im not much of a photographer but these 2 came out rather nicely to me at least. Just thought ill share them

I went out with Sochii, Lawliet, shit im sorry i forgot the name of misa for their photoshoot on sunday. Toky cero and a few other people whos names escape me at the moment. They went to some tiny church honestly my first time in a church even if it is real tiny. Then it was just our luck the pastour was leaving the church and questioned us if we had permission to shoot here then he said something that kinda ticked me off a little.

*points to misa in the distance* i cant allow her to shoot here blah blah. She is dressed like a prostitute. im like what? these word the exact words in my head at that moment

"Mate, have you even seen a prostitute before?" They do NOT dress like that

and i mean honestly come on, who are you to say she is dressed like a prostitute. I understand its a church a holy ground etc. But saying someone is dressed like a prostitute is just flat out insulting. Plus misa's outfit doesnt even seem that revealing, i mean i cant describe it but it is hardly that revealing at all and i dont think you will like it if his girlfriend/wife whatever, was wearing a slightly skimpy/revealing outfit and i say she is dressed like a prostitute right? so to that moronic pastour. Up yours.

On to the next thing he said, he also said you have to make a donation. Notice i bolded the words "have to make". "Have to make" also means must no? So when you MUST make a donation it isnt really called a donation anymore no? A donation is a charitable act, since when is charity a must?

So after they had their shoot we watched them do their shoot. It was really fun xD then Toky suggested we be "Random criminals" ok that part was rather funny to me at least xD

After the shoot was done we had a nearly suicidal walk to clarke quay, note that i was wearing a long sleeve black shirt and black pants. Although im known for my "keeping cool-ness" xD i do admit it was somewhat overwhelming. Alright to cut this short i ate there in some really cheap but pretty awesome itallian restaurant with toky cero and timberwolf.

Then we went to bugis to meet sochii and the rest. They went to take neoprints but i didnt join them. Not a huge fan of neoprints xD just not for me. Then lastly they went to play i dont know the exact name of it. Its an arcade game with the giant japanese drums, its a little like o2jam. Then we took pictures outside the arcade. Well picture in my case, i took another with sochii and cero maybe ill get it from sochii xD After that we went home. Pretty kickass day it was really great meeting all of them.

Sexy sochii is sexy wooooo~ <3>

Note: i am aware my hair looks, ill say it retarded xD and Lawliet gave me a lollipop 8D thank you Lawliet

2009-05-23T18:47:00.002+08:00

soo i just watched Naruto Shippuden Movie 5: Bonds. I must say the story is somewhat typical i mean most of the naruto movies have very expected stories xD but it doesnt matter. The fighting scenes are awesome. One thing that made me laugh, as in really laugh in real life is that dragon ball scene. This guy is doing that pre-super saiyan pose and his hair, before it was white after the process it was turned BIG and black. I started laughing xD I love the sasuke and naruto fighting together bit. Its just wonderful to see them fighting one another or working together like the good ol' days. Pretty decent movie.

2009-05-17T22:27:00.001+08:00

Today is a joyous day, for today i finally got my computer up and running. It feeels so fantastic to be back no more tiny laptop screens. Hell yeah. Although a few important files are missing, other then that it is great to be back

2009-05-14T22:07:00.002+08:00

Sooo it has been a pretty dull week nothing exciting really. Had english prelim oral today and went to Tampinese 1 and ate at the japanese food court/restaurant thing. i had ramen 8D it was good but could have been better. Gotta eat the curry next time i go there on a side note i really really want a new skin but i dont know how to code at all. I fail horribly.

2009-05-11T21:21:00.003+08:00

Alright, rant about a movie time.
Theres this movie called "The mist"
Just a quick summary, the movie is about a mist that conceals some blood thirsty creatures that kills people. Overall the story is alright i mean your basic "survival" scenerio. They were all camping in one of those shopping marts not malls. There was this insane christian lady in the show that kept rambling on about the end of the world blah blah blah. Wow she was insanely annoying. She got shot later so YES! The most heart-wrecking bit about the show was the ending. In the end the main chars which is this man and his son managed to flee from the shopping mart got into his car and drove off. Initially they plan to drive out of the mist but they ran out of gas before they did. He had a gun with 4 bullets there were a total of 5 people including himself and his son. It was either be shot or get killed by those monsters, everyone in the car understood that. So he shot all of them including his SON! SO he got out of the car and he was like yelling "Come on come get me!" This is the most fucked up part, i dislike swearing in posts but wow just seriously messed up. A tank appears out of the fog, turns out the army arrived, if they waited for like 20-30 more seconds thye would still have been alive heck his son would still have been alive. It was just so heart breaking. Phew
Ok rant over

2009-05-11T00:18:00.001+08:00

Theres this one movie i want to talk about but ill do it later today.

Till then.

2009-05-04T20:31:00.004+08:00

Past few days were extremely dull and simple. Cant quite explain it. I think i have a problem, if my F&N is not given a deadline for the different sections of my coursework i dont think ill ever get it done but when a strict deadline is given. Im like wooosh 110% effort and time into it and finish it. Its like not running till i point the gun at your head and telling you

"you have 5 seconds to run, so run"

i simply lack the motivation to do it belive me when i say im trying to change but im such a lazy ass.
And some of you might know my computer crashed on it, its being a total dick. Fortunately i have a laptop so i just have to bear with it and stuff as i really dislike laptops. Im a gaming person and im not really required to use computers for work that often. Bottomline i prefer computers to any gaming consoles/equipment out there. Eg.Xbox, PSP,PS(1,2,3) etc

And alienware is just sexy, even though it is overpriced and you're mostly paying for the brand rather then the parts but hey thats how the fashion industry gain such a huge amount of profits.

2009-04-28T20:55:00.000+08:00

Tommrow is my o level F&N practical. Pretty nervous about it. I hope the roux comes out right.
Wish me luck

Enchanted

2009-04-27T22:39:00.003+08:00

Just finished watching enchanted for the third time i think. Thoughts on the movie, i think its amazing. Simply... enchanting(no pun intended) The thing i love about the movie, it has such a perfect blend of cliche and "realistic" moments. Giselle (Amy Adams) was simply spectacular, i think she did a fantastic job on portraying Giselle. She made her seem so innocent and naive and yet the sheer fact that she is just that naive and childish is the thing that makes you fall in love with her. Living in such a dog eat dog world, sometimes all you need is a little foolishness and that fairy tale belief, you had when you were a kid.(I mean this for girls, i doubt you guys had the prince fairy tale belief. If you did good for you) I thought she looked beautiful.

A few things this film speaks to me is that sometimes you just need to be more realistic and not always be living in your dream wonderland and other times you just need to be just that small amount of naiveness;that fairy tale belief to have things work out for the best.

2009-04-25T21:29:00.009+08:00

I promised myself i would blog more regularly, so here it is.
Yesterday, i was out with liexiang,wenson,jackie,tip and johnathan. We catched a movie first and later Jackie joined us for LAN. Note that my internet at home DIED on my birthday... real timely aint it? so i didnt have internet access for almost 2 days but thankfully its up now . We watched "Taken" at plaza sing.
My thoughts on the movie, it was real intense. I didnt really have high hopes for it as i thought the story was some what "normal" and pretty cliche. The way it was presented was really great. Amazing movie. I reccomend it to anyone who wants a good thrill.

After the movie it was LAN time, we played dota(Gee thats a surprise) and COD4, and i would like to add that i suck at COD4. 2 kills 12 deaths is depressing. But still it was fun nonetheless.
After we had our fill of cyber goodness, it was time to fill our tummys. We went for dinner at JustAcia, free flow of ice cream and drinks is just wooo. Some pictures that were taken using tip's camera.

Johnathan, our eating champion.

2009-04-21T21:00:00.002+08:00

would you look at that, its has almost been 4 months since i last posted. Heh.
Thing i want to talk about, first up is my birthday its coming really soon, 3 days to be precise. Last sunday i went out with a few friends to have an early birthday celebration just with them. Wow, they were just too awesome. They called me the night before and asked me if there was anything i wanted. Honestly i was a little dumbfounded, i mean im not the type of person who tells you what i want and then wants you to get it for me. For as long as i can remember i never asked anyone friends/family to get me anything for my birthday unless you count the time when i was 6-8 hey thats different xD.

I went out with them we watched 17 again. Its a really awesome show, very funny and interesting way of presenting the entire movie. Lets just say the entire plot was not what i expected. We went for dinner afterwards and they bought me a mini-cake, and sang happy birthday to me xD Im very grateful to you guys for spending time with me so i thank you immensely.

As awesome as the day was it got me thinking, i told a friend i didnt like big celebrations like chalets bbqs etc. I mean i want everyone who actually take out time to come down to celebrate with me to have a good time and if im not very sure i can achieve that i rather not do it and just have a small one with my closer friends. She told me that was sweet of me and i should celebrate it however i want.

That got me thinking again, was having a small and quiet celebration what i really wanted? I thought it through and realise that it was yes and no. I don't really like ALOT of attention i mean yeah attention is nice to have but too much of it is just overwhelming to me. I also want to feel comfortable, dont get me wrong im all for meeting new people i mean i've met quite alot of people since ive started cosplaying and also i didnt really like planning for people cause im afraid i might make a bad decision and stuff.

However this is in no way relevant to being a leader in my case, this isnt a case of doing whats best for the team/group/society or whatever. This is about me ensuring that they have a great time even if i dont because i appreciate them taking time off to come down even if its my birthday celebration, their well-being and happiness comes before my own. If they are happy im happy thats how i am. Lastly i guess its also a little fear of that "what if no one comes" scenario, seems like im still a little kid at heart xD

One last thing i want to talk about, is my friends and taking all positive gestures as if they had no special or hidden meanings to them. For friends, i realise that my friends are the ones that make me feel the most confident and they are also the ones that can really make me feel like crap. I usually always want to make my friends feel special by doing everything i can. This is a blessing and a curse i guess. Always wanting to make someone feel special can come of as being annoying or clingy to some people. I read this somewhere but i cant remember it is some one relevant to this topic
"Love is giving some one the power to hurt you and trusting them enough not to use it"
Rather interesting saying.

Moving on, positive gestures. Im the type of person that loves to make most people feel special and i tend to sometimes misinterpret gestures, mostly positive ones and thinking there is something else to them but meeting new awesome people just made me realise that is just plain childish to some extend. Positive gestures towards me always make me smile and make my day. One should never over think gestures like a hug or a compliment might cause you to have unwanted and not needed stress. I guess this should only apply to me because before i started cosplaying i never meet new people so when i got my first "i do not know you that well person" hug from a girl i was kinda like i wont say proud but more of flattered. I guess you can say this is kinda pathetic and sad of me. Story of my life ;)

Whew what a long post. If you mange to bear with me and read through the entire thing i thank you. If you did not hey i dont blame you. Im probably gonna start blogging more regularly but im still looking for a new skin. Have an awesome day ;)

2008-12-29T00:07:00.002+08:00

Wow, it has been ages since ive posted, so many things have happened. It has been such a roller coaster ride . EOY was a huge success, can you say best team cosplay performance? xD
it was too awesome. There are times i begin to think what my holidays would be like if i did not join team baka ninja, honestly it was too horrible to even think about. We bonded so much i mean wow, its like we have known each other for years. We're just one awesome family. So i wana take some time out and dedicate this post to TBN for being such an awesome bunch.

When i got there i realised i was a half hour early xD so i had to walk back and camp at the stairs. Eventually they came, they are such a kick ass bunch, i hung out with them, they went to buy movie tickets then i had to leave for my SS exams.

2008-07-01T17:35:00.005+08:00

Did the cross country today, lie xiang and i found this short cut through some cafe and we took it. heh 4km is a breeze. Then we all crashed at BK and waited there. After the whole cross country thing was over we went to rent bikes, it was so awesome sure my legs feel all jelly like but wow was it fun.

then we played with sand, heng yu made a teddy bear, while i drew Toph in the sand and drew the face of Aang.

And i finally finished Assasins Creed, the whole game was pretty awesome. Looked real sleak and cool but the ending wow the ending honestly was just bad, i hated the ending. Hopefully theres a part 2 or something to this endless-guard-killing game ;)

and lastly

You Should Be a Film Writer

You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind.
You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life.
Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling.
And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen!

2008-06-05T23:02:00.001+08:00

Yes so after 2 days of seemingly endless boredom, i went out today with my friends. Went to bugis and then to leisure park where SOMEONE took a ball. Dinner was great the lamb chop was pretty awesome i like the garlic sauce. although it did overpower the meat.
Then when i was walking home i helped this lady, i mean i saw her dog ran out of the house and such so i ran up to her and told her. She said oh ok or its ok or something like that.

That is all

Saturday market
