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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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!

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!

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.

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.
