last few hours of 2009, this should be the last post of 2009 as well.

just saw the bike rally 2010 168km route.
checkpoints are at:
1.ECP(start)
2.Labrador Park
3.Tuas
4.NTU
5.Kranji Dam
6.Woodlands
7.Yishun Park
8.Serangoon Stadium
9.Changi Carpark
10.ECP(end)

round island again next year? still considering. 168km is not easy at all. think of it as 4marathons. this will take me about 7hours to complete. 21st Feb, should i or should i not?

2010 is gonna be an exciting year. army, results, ocbc 40km and many many others.
hope it'll be a good year too. i'll look forward to seeing everyone soon, but i'll be working at biopolis which is at one-north@buona vista soon.
have a good day ahead. will be in church till tomorrow morning. i'll still be around no matter what happens.

Wednesday 30 December 2009

after much thought last night, astar will be the better option for me. much much better actually.

$9/hour at a call centre, how much value will it add to my portfolio?
im not sure if its even worthy of a mention. even though astar wont pay me as much, i dont mind. i'll earn it back in the future easily. its also so much cooler to work in a lab, wearing the white lab coat as compared to being showered with verbal abuse over the phone everyday. its just plain stupidity.

i'll be back cycling today. tired but no choice.

theres less than 48hours left in 2009. enjoy it while you can, and have it marked down as 2009. i'll have my countdown in church this year, something special.

Tuesday 29 December 2009

never expected this week to be so busy.

filled with interviews here and there. 2 from a*star, and one more at the call centre that will pay me 9dollars per hour. which will mean i'll get at least $1500 per month.

thursday will be the countdown party at all saints, might be calling friends to go. still deciding. and i still need to find time for cycling trainings.

Friday 25 December 2009

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

ENJOY THE LAST FEW DAYS OF 2009 AND WELCOME 2010 WITH OPEN ARMS!

the monkey and peanut story was totally meaningful.
the main idea is that you need to let go in order to be free.

time to clear up my room to welcome the 7 guests tomorrow. hope nothing will go wrong with the dinner.

今天是圣诞节前夕,早上下雨了。
雨下了好久好久。
看着窗外的雨这样地下着,心里似乎静了下来,让我好好地想想“圣诞节”真正的含义。
从我信主至今已有一段时间了,可是圣诞节其中的意义还有许多是我不了解得。

上星期的圣诞节布道会,思凯哥谈到了圣诞在于你。
这句话虽然不深,含义却是需要时间去全全地明白。

最疼你,爱你,照顾你,守护你,珍惜你的就是神。
希望你们也能够在庆祝圣诞节的时候,好好地想一想圣诞节到底有何意义。

祝您有个美丽的圣诞。

had a shot at light painting yesterday.

all you need is a tripod/table, a camera that you can control the shutter speed manually eg. dslr, torchlight and lots of imagination. and darkness of course.

after 1hour plus of playtime, only managed a few nicer ones. there's some racist ones that i dont think i can post here.

k im doing the thing above for a good reason. im damn bored at home.
need someone to cure this. busy on the 25th, very busy on the 26th. interview on the 28th. hopefully the astar dood will call me soon, if not i'll just work somewhere else.

Monday 21 December 2009

the weather's not really good, so i thought staying at home might just be the better option.

just stripped my epiphone of all the electronics, including the pickups. thinking of putting manlius landmark PAFs in it, with the rs parts. think i will get the perfect vintage bluesy les paul tone from this combination.
i've covered more than 140km over the past few days. 40km more today.

Christmas is on the coming Friday!! so is the 26th, which will be a busy day for me starting with the ns talk at sac in the morning, svc at asc in the afternoon and party at night. good food awaits those who are coming.

Wednesday 16 December 2009

10days from now, it'll be Christmas Day.

time to start soaking in the Christmas mood.
somehow, this Christmas feels different. probably im more attached to the church now than before, which is a good thing(:
might also be that this year has been especially eventful-all the ups and downs, the parties, joy, fun, laughter, disappointments, love, failures and stress and whatever you might find noteworthy. bun its been a good year. thank God.

reflecting on the past 350days in 2009, i made my mistakes, but did not manage to correct all. i have probably grown to be more thoughtful of the people around me, maybe more sensitive as well. i've seen some of the worst human characters in jc, how terrible people can get. they could be your best of friends for a minute, and the they'll be stabbing you in the back in the next. i still have a long way to go and learn about the world out there. nothing is gonna be rosy. but still, i to thank God for allowing me to learn.

few things i want to highlight that i really really want to thank God for, and they could be the best evidence that God has been wonderfully good to me.

1. my ah gong and ah mah. their health wasnt the best this year, with my grandpa getting hospitalized several times. he was diagnosed with cancer as well, and his health has been on the decline since then. there was once i thought i would lose him, i cried that time. they took care of me since young at the same old place at amk, watched me grow up through the years. its still heartwarming when i visit them every weekend and they ask how i've been. this kind of love, though hard to describe, is able to reach so deeply inside my heart. for everyday that they are still around, i thank God for it. i dont know what will happen tomorrow, i dont know when will they leave me, i dont know if im prepared to take the blow.

2. my family. they have been a wonderful support for me through the tough A'levels, making sure im well taken care of all the time. and especially my sis, though we might quarrel abit at times over some of the silliest things, she's the one that really shows the concern. asked me about school and friends, and i would also share will her my troubles. for those who are coming on the 26th, my sis is the one that asked me to bring friends home.

3. friends. all the groups of friends that i have.
firstly, and most importantly, ocip. this part is specially for you peeps.
From ocip

From ocip

we've just met for abit more than a year ago, thats not a very long time. but the friendships forged are as if we've known each other for a long long time. maybe not everyone, but the usual few that party and chill together. 12days in Vietnam, a once in a lifetime experience. memories from the short 12days will go a long way. friends that i can always count on, and probably some of the closest i have in jc as well. people that probably need a special mention will be melodie, gen, melina, olivia, john, tom, peter and zz. we're all so different in our own ways, yet we still can find a common thing that brings us all so close together. idk how things will go from now on, but keep partying(:

second on my friends list, the brothers from 08S02. sheldon, sam, chan, ricky and kishen. we did all the stupidest things ever, and probably gay-est too. nights in rodanthe and mulan with guys. thats quite wrong. now we've pretty much drifted away from each other, but we'll meet soon. ricky is back in malaysia, idk what he's doing there but prolly enjoying himself. chan is in cambodia, back in jan next year. sheldon is still travelling around, just back from beijing and now in hk. sam is working and the indian is still bragging. and me, still trying to find my way around and get settled down.

third comes my secondary school friends. zhengyi, jovan, lord jr, guorong, jon and many more that i still keep in contact with. we've been classmates and teammates for like 4 years back in anglican high, been through lots of shit together but here we are, all still alive and doing well in our own ways.

last would be the random friends that i have, idk how to categorize you peeps. ehhh some of the S01 doods, sports and fitness, badminton juniors. basically thats about it.

i'll be really busy for the next few days, going on intensive cycling training and running to build up stamina as well. March 4th, OCBC CYCLE SINGAPORE.

to end this post, lets have some word from God.

2Samuel 22:1-3
David sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD rescued him from all his enemies...:"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom i find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. He is my refuge, my savior, the one who saves me from violence"
Matthew 25:21
You have been faithful in handling this small amount...Let's celebrate together!

in this time of giving, lets celebrate and thank God for all the good he has done!
God bless!

i feel that everything is jammed up inside me.

there's something wrong with me today.

things will get better.

i know i sound weird. just need to find my way around
for the moment.

i'll be fine. i think.

Monday 14 December 2009

all the events and stuff that im supposed to attend are more or less over, including the class and ocip chalet, shuyi's wedding, curry fishhead lunch, prom and post prom.

now, time for myself. need to think through some things and hopefully get them settled soon. thinking of what to study in uni is quite stressful. finance/econs/business/chem/engin? i cant make up my mind. hopefully attachment at a*star will give me some clue.

resuming my cycling training for the 40km ocbc event on 7th March next year. hope to clock 1hour flat.

the verses from shuyi's wedding. found it meaningful and beautiful as well, i thought it would be nice to share.

From Song of Songs 8:6-7
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.

7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.

it simply goes to show how strong love is. one for each other, both for God. congrats shuyi and danny!

Thursday 10 December 2009

okay today wasnt such a bad day at all. watched the gay movie with *ahem* john at shaw. and melodie mark together with her cricket friends were right behind us. did quite alot of stupid stuff the whole day, but still managed to get quite abit of proper stuff done as well. proper stuff as in get the cards, and battle studies(finally).

chalet tmr, shuyi姐‘s wedding service on sat, hope i dont die on friday. curry fish head with family on sunday. i cant recall when was the last time i had indian food.

have a good weekend.

Wednesday 9 December 2009

chorus pedal and les paul upgrade kit arrived yesterday. early christmas, but im not that excited about the new things actually. getting sick of playing guitar, i even had the thought of selling all the guitar stuff i have. that includes the john mayer strat and my gibson and the amp and the pedals. should get a good sum of money if i can sell everything.

play for worship team? maybe.

right now i just feel cheated of many things. take care of you? i doubt i have the chance to. its like i've been waiting, and waiting, then it just stops without even starting. put so much effort into trying to get things right but it just doesnt work for me. terrible feeling. maybe it'll be good to review what i've done wrongly, but i dont think i did anything thats so out-of-this-world-wrong that im bearing the full consequences of it. total rubbish. nothing is fair, how true. i need a good break from all these, its torturing me in all ways-emotionally, mentally, physically. hopefully i can get things ironed out soon, and get out of this mess. if not i'll just sink further in, and obviously, it wont do anyone good. i just need you to understand. k i'll stop here, before i get questioned for what's going on. more people read this space than i think.

most of my scholar friends should be back home today. tinge of sadness. really hope to see them soon.

Tuesday 8 December 2009

hues n roses was an epic fail. im not gonna complain too much about it but it sucks badly. cut cost and you get low quality. im scared of turning the volume of the acoustic amp up(im playing electric guitar) cos it'll blow and just spoil. cant hear eugene's voice for can't stop, cant hear my guitar and keith's.

at prom, i found out that my class was pathetic. only 4 person went, and that includes me. ended up with the water polo doods, thankfully i know quite a few of them so it wasnt that bad. the sc screwed up the ocip table, totally. im not posting any photos here, follow the link to the picasa webalbum. fyi i didnt upload everything, too lazy. and theres still alot out there in some other camera somewhere.
http://picasaweb.google.com/zhnegweijie/HuesAndFail?authkey=Gv1sRgCMni-LbI8KSPvAE&feat=directlink

post prom wasnt that bad, kinda noisy as im more into bluesy kinda music. maybe if i play metal i'll be fine with it. lots of people from other jc were there as well. slept over at RELC hotel after that, just a short break actually. the hotel room is rather huge, and right beside shangri-la.

so that pretty much sums up last night very briefly. not in the mood to type alot.

lots of things to keep me occupied for the rest of the week, good.

Monday 7 December 2009

guitar, cables, pedals, batteries, money, place to dump my guitar so i can go post prom, hair, tie and everything else needed all checked.

time to go out.

im so glad that exams are finally over. its been a hard time preparing for it. now im feeling ever so relieved, even much more than the O's. as you said, its Advanced now, no longer Ordinary.

movie@vivo was good, chinese movies still have their ways to mix romance and war, with a totally touching ending to it. i wont mind watching this movie again though. i think i said that for christmas carol too.

now im sittting right in front of my computer typing this blog entry with a small glass of alize gold passion, need to finish it fast and move on to other types of liquor.

i need to decide fast which shoe to get so i can resume training for the ocbc event next year march. plus im thinking of changing the pedals to shimano105 as well. vpost finally received the invoice for the guitar parts, i sent them 5times+fax. idiots.

From Drop Box

hot sun, nice weather, beautiful scenery and very very peaceful. enjoyed all these while cycling yesterday. i love it when the park connecter is so empty, you can cruise at 30km/h without even having to slow down, all the way from changi to ecp. most of you wouldnt have seen this place in the pic before, other than people like jovan and zy.

and i just realised that my sister's cover letter wont work out for me. when she wrote that, she already had experience in this area and knows how to operate some stuff. and all i have is a pretty useless prelims results, and maybe the even more useless bt results. need to find some way to make sure i get to work at a*star/ices.

Wednesday 25 November 2009



okay story telling time. this is as accurate as what mavis told me.

mjc installed this turnstile gate in their school, probably because they see every other school is doing it. the school thinks its damn cool to have it. so they installed it. well done. but the school didnt learn from other schools how to operate this thing well. they have this thing at the sidegate, that has all the other bus services other than 3. the turnstile only turns in one direction, like what you'll see in sa. but the gate beside it is locked after 7.30. so which means you can only exit but cannot enter from that side. then comes another thing that even i dont understand. for each person to exit, he has to press a button once. and only he can exit, so the next person has to press again.

well done jon for this video.

the les paul's parts are still in transit somewhere in the usa, so is my 1987 boss ce-2 chorus pedal. im gonna postpone the les paul upgrade till late dec/jan.

and today marks the start of the 1week break till physics paper 1 next monday. have a good rest, drink abit and play some guitar. finally got the pedaltrain jr in a hardshell flight case. dont be deceived by the jr(which means junior) as this thing weighs in at 10.5kg only with 3 pedals in it. the wah pedal, ds-1 and xotic ac booster. how am i gonna carry this bomb to prom? i still havent attach the power supply and boss ce-2!

i call it a bomb for a good reason. the people on the mrt keep staring at me, then the case. and i got stopped at bugis mrt(i boarded the train there) by the security officer. sometimes they even check my bag when im going to school via kovan. and they look dissapointed to find only gc and a box file inside. this is how it looks like.

compared to my john mayer.

and i also managed to find some everly strings at penin. these are the best strings ever. its better that the ernie balls and last even longer, delivers sweet sweet tones too. thanks brendon for letting me know where sells these stuff since he's out of stock at the moment.
From Gibson


and i need(want badly) to finish up this stuff. its good(: too bad for those im planning to invite sometime near christmas, it'll be gone by then. i cant imagine how the manuka honey vodka can be left untouched by melodie mark for so long. its even better than this.
From Gibson


plans for the remaining hours for today:
1: clear up my room, pack the notes neatly and into the storeroom it goes.
2: wrap my sister's birthday gift. its her birthday today. 23, she's getting old.
3: play/practice guitar. the 5songs that will be heard on 7122009@shangri-la.
4: do some mcq(if possible)

enjoy your break!

From Gibson

finally, after so many years, a buckethead signature guitar by gibson usa!
ebony fingerboard, no inlays, 24 frets, alpine white, red arcade machine buttons, chambered body. one of my dream combinations on an electric guitar.
who's buckethead? he's some awesome guitarist thats sort of weird but definitely skilled. ex guitarist for guns n roses, but mainly a solo artist. at US$4k plus retail price, which i think would round up to somewhere around SGD$4k. quite a good price.

and in search of a better tone, there'll be some changes to my current gear. i'll be doing it in 2 to 3 phases.

Phase1: the washburn N1 is getting a new owner next week. that'll be jonathan. congrats, you've found youself a good piece at a good price.

Phase2: to my less seen epiphone, loads of upgrades. some of you might find this guitar familiar. im going for the vintage in this. i'll attend to those marked out in black first.

cost of all these, close to $300. i dont sell my guitars for no good reason.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens up your chest and opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from ant other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...you give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.

note: its an article by neil gaiman. i didnt write this.

less than 20days to go.

mum went through my prelims results again a few days ago, then she saw this line in the teacher's comments/remarks part. it says 'a well respected individual...' then she asked me, 'what have you done in school?!' hahaha big joke.

last day.

today's officially the last day of school, which means its now the self study phase, which is the final one, before the real thing. for the first time, i hear the school song being sung so loudly, with this funny old man leading us. college hymn for the last time as well.

i can still remember, last year, life was hell for me at tampines jc. i couldnt wait to get out of that place, in search of a better jc. what i had in mind was that if i dont get a change of environment, i'll probably mess up my alevels.

some of you might know this. if my L1R5(raw) is:
>14 i need to accept my fate.
14 mjc
12 sajc
10 tjc
8 vjc
thankfully, by God's grace, i got 12. from a mission school to another, but still under the same big st andrew's family of schools. was really happy that no more gonecase school for me. got the subject combination i wanted, physics-chem-math-h1econs, as i thought this would work best for me.

08S02 was my class, it was a class of 28students-4retainees, 7 scholars, 17locals. initially, i was very surprised im in a scholar class, which implies stress! the china scholars dont talk much, with a malaysian forming the great wall with them. cambodian is super hardworking, but with almost illegible handwriting and still trying to learn to speak chinese. ricky is probably the most singaporean of the scholars, he speaks like one, does things like one and thinks like one. kushi's from india and caroline em from indonesia. i can still remember how people like sam and sheldon went back to their most familiar cca(basketball and band) after trying out rockclimbing. and dixon loo begging ben liang to get into odac. this is where all the fun starts.

teachers were
tan jiaqi-who leaves at 2pm on a normal day. she's my ct and chem tutor.
william lee-math. he thinks every math sum is easy.
annie tang-old and wise, at least thats what other gp teachers say she is supposed to be.
huang kexin-physics. one of my favourite teachers, funny but fierce at times. yes, grass should be green.
benliang-econs. only gives boring lessons, and everything he says is on moodle.
ben soh-pe. i didnt attend his lesson for a full year. im on permanant mc, for the bilateral pfps.

after a few months, closer friends were found. sheldon, samuel, kishen, chan, ricky and dixon.
we played hard for one year, got into trouble sometimes. in the end, only 21 promoted. nicely done. but we did learn that good results dont come easy.

while all the above were happening, i joined ocip. took up this chance partly because i missed the one in anglican, sports players were not allowed to go due to holiday trainings. but through it, met many new friends. and grown alot to become more thoughtful and mature. photographer, pubcom, and most importantly, a member of the vietnam ocip team. friendships were forged, and the fun will continue among these few of us. drinking soon?

this year, 2009, is when all the real fight begins. a change of people leading us through this battle.
jasmine tan-ct and chem. everything is good about her, just left one thing that im still curious about. and she knows too much about me.
mr sia-physics, after june hols. good, knowledgeble enough to think xray machines are funny.
mrs seet-econs. not really an improvement from ben liang, at least not as boring. its a different style.

been improving my grades all the while, fighting for the cookie and a spot on the notice board. the stress level has also been building up and never subsided. maybe its this, along with the degree that my sis got spur me on to work harder to get better grades.

the ocip camp, that was supposed to be carried out, was cancelled after h1n1 hit singapore and got so widespread. now, its just like the common flu that we used to know. but im glad that all the publicity stunts that we prepared for did not go to waste.

prelims just ended weeks ago. got drunk, dead drunk with the ocip peeps right after prelims ended. since the prep for prelims, i've made an effort to put down my guitar and bury myself in all the notes and the practice papers. results did prove that it works, so they'll remain in the store for now. i'll start playing again if the prom band is confirmed.

today marks the final day as a student in sajc. farewell assembly was good, congrats to the prize winners. phototaking in school uniform for the last time, all these will be kept as memories. im not gonna talk much about it. the last time i'll see my friends in relaxed mode in school uniform, the last time we'll do such crazy stuff in school. but the first time JASMINE TAN IS IN A SKIRT!!

in the short 1year plus in sajc, i thank God for roses by the wayside, and the thorns they may contain. for guiding me through probably the toughest time in my 18years, and also blessing me with such great friends. people i'll like to thank? there's lots of them. but just to name afew,

1.the ocip team, especially john, kx, mdong, melodie , olivia and peter.
2.classmates, sheldon, samuel, kishen, chanphearum tech, ricky and dixon.
3.teachers, jasmine tan, huang kexin, mr sia, charis lee, charissa choo, william lee, derrick ong, miss tay and many many more.
4.pastor gerald! most of you may not know who he is, i borrowed a watch from him during the ocip selection camp last year. ask and you will receive, seek and you will find.

my hand's itching from not touching the 6 stringed things for days. thursday and friday sounds good to play around, given that i do the rj paper, hci paper, vj, tj...........and the list goes on and not forgetting the beloved ten year series with soultions. it will mean i might not play guitar soon again.

and i broke the les paul's tone knob, each one cost $10 for some plastic. and they come in sets of 4 for the original one by gibson (._.lll)

29 day race to the start of the big thing that'll decide my future. and congrats to chan and caroline who got nominated by the school for the psc scholarship. shouldnt have wasted my time away for the past 1yearplus.

i nearly laughed till i died when i logged on to facebook today. vanessa went to try this super lame app called 'how dr boon are you today?'. fyi, dr boon is the principal of anglican high school, my alma mater. and is denoted by 'boony'. she can be quite nice sometimes.

then you might wonder who 'cheongy' is. she's the super irritating and maid-like vice principal! its definitely not a good thing to be like her on any day. i still remember her shading her face from the sun during morning assembly with those kinda tissue packs. its not big at all. so its either(to her) the tissue pack is damn huge or her face damn tiny. my class calls her 'the maid'. the paw sessions that we used to have on wednesday assembly are now more or less gone thanks to her. so much for being a mission school.

32days, going on to 31. study hard my dear friends.

Monday 5 October 2009

detuned all my guitars and chucked them aside in the store room. its time to go all out and start to push myself to all the As.

i prefer to take things easy and slow though i dont have much time left, 36days. by the way here is a nice video to maybe take abit to time off your study schedule, enjoy. i know its in b/w, but still good enough to be on my space.


if you think its not enough, nice songs on the sidebar on the right. thanks olivia for the intro to grooveshark. keep pressing on, for you wont know what is the limit without even trying.

im finding some joy in using twitter, thanks to those who asked me to use then just disappeared from the tweeting place when i just start to find my way around.

now i seriously think that the school should just leave the marks as they are and not moderate anything, its unfair to those who are left halfway hanging and moderation doesnt really help to up the grades. just gotta work harder to get the grade that you deserve. take it as a lesson learnt and nothing more or less than that. want to get your math grade moderated up by 2%? think again. although it may look good on the stats, we are just deceiving ourselves. hire better teachers and get rid of those useless bums around to really up the grades. im not content with my prelim grades in any way, theres still lots to work for. attend lessons+self stufy is the way to go. think you can only depend on self study? that works, if you already score As for everything and no need help and you understand every single bit of the rather useless notes that we get. this goes out to those who are thinking of ponning school and self study at home.

fushun mushi is gonna have his last day on sat, i'll attend the sat service this week to say goodbye.

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
But I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me,testing me

this should be it. this is how i'll keep pushing myself. just that what i want is more than water, and what i'll be going through is not fire.

yesterday was totally good.

1. got this new fish oil, its some double strength fish oil from gnc. upgrade from the salmon oil that i've been having and should taste much better in case i break the soft capsule since its lemon flavoured.

2.got this swatch for dad that cost $200 plus, i need to pay 60 and my sis pay the rest(:

3.picked up a boss ds-1 modded by randolf in 2006. im gonna get rid of my current stock ds-1 that dont sound half as good. the blue led is just so sexy. now i'll need white knobs to go with it, so dropping by a guitar store soon again! its meant to go with my gibson, but the jm should sound good though i havent tried yet.

From Online Edits


this is the only common thing that peeps in S02 can talk about. even with our teachers.
i'll tell you, when you have a craving for burgers, skip macs, for they only serve up some lousy quality stuff. feeling abit richer this week, i dropped by the botak jones outlet that's near my place again at about 3plus for lunch. its a takeaway order of course, the sun out there is pretty terrible these few days. so i asked for a double cheese burger, thats what i'll order at macs when im poor. at botak jones, 'double cheese burger'='The Double Botak'. i know the price is 6times (or twelve dollars) of the double cheese at macs, but its a hundred times better. wait, thats an understatement. its super super super super super tasty with a super huge pile of beef that i wont call it a patty anymore though its still one. need pics to show how massive it is? sure thing(:
From food!

this(above) is the burger being cut open, i wont be able to fit it into my mouth given its size. its double patty, double cheddar cheese(thats the real stuff), one bun and quite abit of tomato+lettuce+onion. the cheese looks much better actually, cos all of it got stuck onto the top of the box and i have to scrape it back onto the meat.

just look at how thick the patty is, you can barely see the soggy bread(due to all the juices) that should be sitting painfully under it.

oh and i've got a row of my customer appreciation card full once again, so if you peeps want to get a free side when you eat at botak jones, call me along! really its 'damn good food at a damn food price'. totally worth it(: now im happy, its guitar time. voodoo child yeah! have a nice weekend ahead and study hard!

Wednesday 23 September 2009

well well, results this time are not that bad, except for some parts.

chem was a jump from D to A. miss jasmine tan here's my A, there's no more D!
math up by a grade to B
physics down by one to C (i dont like this)

if all goes well for econs, i'll need a pass to hit 70rp with pw included. keep working for my straight As for the A's.

and to the dude who blew/toasted/totalled your friends mesa, good luck in finding an amp tech to fix it. these stuff dont come anything lesser that 3k!

alright, i'll do a full recount on what went on during the saturday session. with some help of course, i dont really remember everything that happened. the alcohol had a perfect score.

theres basically 2 parts to it.

PART I: DINNER

there's about 8 dishes. our dear vietnamese dood was the first to cook, its the simplest dish of all and had some tinge of breakfasts back there in the mountains last year. from outside when we were playing 'taboo', its the kitchen that's smokin'. but looking out from the kitchen, its a different story.

then there's chicken with rosemarry and thyme that john and i prepared, i did most of the stuff.
minced meat with the olive veg thing by gen.
melodie's veg that has all the stuff see and crabsticks that john couldnt find though its all over the place.
and all the rest for a good meal enough to feed 12.

PART II: HIGH TIME(:
okay here's how the thing goes. our dear host(melodie) came up with this thing called the circle of death, its a (drinking)game. this should give another meaning for poker cards to the gambling kings of s02. you'll have to drink if you fail at any point.

if you get a:
A: you have the power to ask anyone to drink
2: the thumb thing that will catch you totally off guard when you cant even walk straight
3: pushup postions (ocip training camp style-we're at the discipline ic's place)
4: 4sips, i'll call this 4gulps.
5: rhyming time!
6: pick a category
7: 7-up
8: 'i never'
9: fruits memory game
10: complimentary toilet trip
J: come up with a new rule
Q: the queens will drink
K: the kings will drink

on the menu for the night was JIMBEAM WHITE and 42below MANUKA HONEY VODKA!
when we havent started on out game yet, we thought it would be good to take a photo before anything happens and we get knocked out.

From 190909 at melodie's

shortly after, the yellow sofa that 5guys sat on gave way. so we tried to fix it.
From 190909 at melodie's

and we end up sitting on the floor.

here’s when the real party starts, look at all the stuff going into the yellow cup. that’s my cup (:

and the best prize for doing the stupidest thing goes to PETER GOH! he crawled under the guys to look for john, so taupok was the best prize he deserves!

and the superwonderful thing that was partly the cause of all the above and what's to come the next morning.
From 190909 at melodie's


wait, theres a third part to this. which is the next morning
PART III: 20092009
dead after puking in the toilet and spending most of the night in the kitchen. other known 'casualties' are melodie and john. next time, we need more control. but with alcohol, all else fails.
heres a detailed one, so enjoy this and bookmark it or print it or save it somewhere to help you survive the 7weeks to come.
