Now Playing - Sooner or Later (Soren's Song) - Switchfoot

Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Nothin' but blue skies from now on

I was dozing all throughout school today, since I stayed up late yesterday night. It was really tiring, and I was looking forward to go home and take a nap after school.

The weather's damn hot.

However, before we were released from school, the year3s had to attend the last of the Lifeskills Enrichment course, of which started a couple of weeks before we went for our retreat and has officially ended today. It was about stress management today, and pretty much boring stuff, so I shall skip this part.

We had lunch at sing post, and when I was leaving for home, there was this group of guys(picture sec3/4 ah beng wannabes) staring at ailing. Being the antagonistic guy I am, and since I dont like the way they looked in the first place anyway, I stared back and made sure they saw me. However, upon reflecting, it probably wasnt very smart of me since there was like 4 of them and only 1 of me.

Mrs Wee was going through the finer points of paragraphing your GP essay today again. She was telling us that the most common weakness was that we didnt know what organization was, and we had to really follow the BOX method so as to have a smooth flowing essay.

She was like,

"You don't want to start with apple, then go on to pear, and end with ziraffe."

For a moment I thought i heard wrongly, until I asked dom if he heard the ziraffe part as well. He confirmed and we both wondered if the ziraffe was supposed to be some new animal, and I had this warped theory, that maybe the ziraffe was the result of bad crossbreeding between a zebra and a giraffe.

-



The disillusioned thinking of some people has probably led to the sadder circumstances we face today. Slightly higher tensions, some awkwardness, creating the foundation for misunderstandings as well.

There's no complete neutrality in this world. You try not to thread on any toes, you end up threading on most, if not all of them.

-

The half hearted attempts of some will go against the whole hearted attempts of others.

The end result will be that everything goes back to square one, or even worse.

Pity.

Although I kind of forced it out of you, but yup, you still said it! So its official now, and you've got so many conditions too. I promise I'll fulfil them to the best of my abilities. So dont worry yup?

Alumni was a blast.



My apologies for walking out of my friends and going home for the Czech and Italy match.

Its not sincere by the way, because I've had my reasons for doing so. I dont see the need to explain however, since the involved parties have already formed their own opinions.

-

Unrelated to the one above;

Whoever chose to leave in the first place? Why do I suddenly find myself as the sole responsibile party?

Maybe if you would think instead of shifting things away so as you can look like a victim, and the others like the culprits, maybe I wouldnt feel so angry.

I've taken up my share of the blame, why cant you?

-

I am writing in anger. Thats not good.



3, 2, 1.

Cheers.

The +10 refers to the adidas ad, a tribute to that kid, jose with the superstars he picked. Thus he was named jose +10, making up a team of 11 players.

Teamwork.

I realised that I have these momentary lapses of panic which I fall into. Either Im being too paranoid, or what, Im not sure.

Take for example yesterday, I was walking along in Wisma Atria when I suddenly realised I couldnt feel my cell phone in my pocket. Trying not to panic so as not to alarm my friend, I tried to find it in my pockets, petting them and there it was, lying snugly oblivious to the panic mania it just caused me. Thats not all. 5 seconds after I found it, I thought I dropped my wallet and my palm just went to my back pocket to see it was still there, and of course, there it was.

I was so embarrassed and my friend must have thought I was weird to act like that.

My senior, fellow (ex)band mate, friend, elder brother, Terence Ng has left on his final attachment after graudating from poly, as in line with his course, Marine Engineering, taking his sail around the region, studying the workings of the ship, serving his internship before enlisting into the National Service.

By the time he's back, he'll be going into the Service, and there goes another friend.

From this, I realised the past 18-19 years has passed really quickly, and soon I'll be leaving the protected zone of the kids and stepping out into the real world. Already, I've got glimpses of it through my friends, displaying some of the characteristics of the adults you swore you wouldn't emulate.

North Korea is trying to test out the inter continental missiles it has(or supposedly has) which has the range capable of reaching various United States cities on the west coast. United States(being the typical pushover, bully in the playground, insert whatever big brother terms you want) has demanded that North Korea halt its missile testing program(with a good reason this time, at least), or if not, it'll call in the United Nations(which is kind of eating out of the hand of the United States anyway) to discuss on what to impose and do about North Korea.

But, North Korea, if you're trying to attract the attention of the world, you've got it. We dont need anymore looming hints of a (possible) nuclear war, which might devastate the recovering but still fragile world economy.

Waiting.



Like everyone else, I have fears. I shall briefly talk about my biggest fear right now before going on to other more mundane things that happened.

There's this fear I have, this fear that I cannot hold us together. The bond that once was there, so easily maintained, and even though I think it would be too harsh to say it ceased to exist, its no longer as strong as before. I gave up after trying to hold the bond; Im not sure if I put in enough effort, but Im already tired from doing this much. Maybe circumstances forced this change upon us, maybe our fixation on our own affairs caused it, maybe other individual actions created this. Whatever it is, I hope we do not break up now. It would be a pity.

The past week has been kind of good for me. Its like a feast of soccer matches, although I do not have cable, I have 2 malaysia/indonesia (im not sure RTM belongs to which country) channels that show some of the matches. Put that together with the occasional trips to the pub to watch, I havent missed much of the action so far.

For this holiday, time didnt really fly by for me. Rather, it felt as though I had just stood it one spot, watching it pass me by while not really doing anything conducive. I know, you might have been seeing the same kind of post for the past 3 junes, in 04, 05 and now, 06. I would have to start studying soon.

I have to constantly remind myself, time is running out. If i were to do anything, I would have to do it quick. If not, it would remain in memory as one of the genuinely happier times for me for the past 3 years.

-

Its damn depressing, that no one ever tags my blog. Not that Im complaining, but it seems kind of redundant if there's a cbox but no one ever uses it.

June has brought back out my louder personality, but im not sure if school will make the loudness regress again, since its one of the main factors that caused it to make the progress down the other road in the first place.

I've been getting tired way too often. This period of convalescence has done me some good, but whether it will be enough remains to be seen.

The tagboard is back up, for all you readers.

So what are you waiting for? Drop me a tag today!

Im quitting WoW after my current subscription ends. I guess putting up here in 'print' will sort of make me determined to keep to my words, instead of succumbing to temptation and buying another new subscription again.

Till the expansion, I'll be doing other things, hopefully studying.

The countdown for the World Cup has ended. Another countdown, towards the As, has begun.




Yesterday, I went to Paulaner Munchen Bar, at times square, to watch the skorea togo match, which skorea won 2 to 1. (Refer to insert on top) Dom and sk were there as well, and drinks we ordered, me and dom drinking schnapps, Schladerer Williams Birne and Schladerer himbeergeist(cherry and raspberry flavour, also known as shots to the uninitiated, with 42% alchohol, which dom's jaw dropped when he realised) respectively, and sk with his freshly squeezed orange juice. Side dishes came in the form of Grilled Nurberger sausages which was truely a delight, even if it costs $12.50 for only 8 pieces. The bill at that point, came up to $44.60, and with our later orders of Iced tea(me) and Coke(dom) during half time, the bill reached a grand total of $61.20(incl. gst).

Continue doing this for every match through the World Cup, we'll be really broke by the end of the tournament.

Upon reaching home, while talking on the phone, I was casually flipping through channels on my television when I realised the malaysia channel(one of the 2 i have) was showing the France Switzerland match. Extremely delighted, I settled down to enjoy the match, and at 3am, I was even happier to find that the other malaysia channel, was broadcasting the Brazil Croatia match.
Ended up sleeping at 5am, and then sleeping again throughout the whole of today.

I am troubled over the upcoming concert, and it has everything to do with my capabilities.



We all speak one common language. Soccer.

The FIFA World Cup 2006 takes place in Germany this summer.

It is generally felt that there has been an overcommercialisation of the World Cup, with brands like adidas, nike, reebok, converse, etc coming up with their products like shoes, apparel, bags with the more prominent countries participating in the World Cup. I think this commercialisation serves to detract the attention of those less informed from the actual game to just the branding.

I've got the impression that some people watch the World Cup just to be within the fever, without actually knowing whats going on other than the big names like Beckham, and stars like that.

Maybe the World Cup is just a great opportunity for MNCs, a money making opportunity. The need for a greater profit margin has marred what was once possibly the most beautiful game around. I feel its time to change that, to shift our focus on to what is happening on the pitch, instead of the money.

-

And now its back to watching my favourite teams play each other. Although Im not rooting for any particular country, its just great to see world class players playing alongside each other.



Choose an artiste and answer the questions using the lyrics of their songs.

Artiste chosen: Nickelback

Are you female or male: [How You Remind Me]
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealin’
Tired of living’ like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feelin’

Describe yourself: [Follow You Home]
Well you can dig me up a grave
And try and stick me in the ground
Well you can tie me to the bed
And try and beat me half to death
But you can never keep me down
Well you can stick me in a hole
And you can pray all day for rain
You can shoot me in the leg
Just to try to make me beg
And you can leave me there for days
And I’ll stay alive
Just to follow you home
And I will survive

How do some people feel about you: [Window Shopper]
Passing glances fall on me
like screams on deaf ears
They're all laughing at me
with encouraging cheers.

How do you feel about yourself: [Rockstar]
I’m through with standing in line
to clubs we’ll never get in
It’s like the bottom of the ninth
and I’m never gonna win
This life hasn’t turned out
quite the way I want it to be

Describe your ex girlfriend/boyfriend: [Do this anymore]
Left on an eastbound train
Gone first thing this morning
Why's what's best for you
Always the worst thing for me

When am I gonna learn
Why? 'Cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn?
Why? 'Cause I'm tired of waiting
No I don't
No I don't
No I don't

Well no I don't find faith in your forced feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling

I won't, I don't
No I won't do this anymore
I won't, I don't
No I won't do this anymore

She says I'm only telling half of it
That's probably 'cause there's only half worth telling
And every time I try to laugh it off
That's when you turn around and wind up yelling

When am I gonna learn
Why? 'Cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn?
Why? 'Cause I'm tired of waiting
No I don't
No I don't
No I don't

Describe your current girlfriend/boyfriend or crush: [Old Enough]
She's old enough
She knows enough
She's thrown up
So throw her
Out to me
And I'll treat her like she was mine
Not my belief
You got your way and I'll get mine

And I can't eat
I can't sleep
I want to thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While we're in this discussion

Should've known enough
Never grown enough
Alone enough
To know my

way will be the path I wanted to try
If it fails to be good for me...
Good for me than I'd rather die

Describe what you want to be: [Rockstar]
Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hillltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny ‘cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger’s gonna wind up there
Every playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair
And we’ll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today’s who’s who
They’ll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody’s got a drug dealer on speed dial
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Describe how you love: [Love Will Keep Us Together]
Love, love will keep us together;
Think of me babe whenever
Some sweet talking guy comes along singing a song --
Don't mess around, you got to be strong,

So Stop, 'cause I really love you,
Stop, I'll be thinking of you --
Look in my heart and let love keep us together.

You, you belong to me now,
Ain't gonna set you free now;
When those guys start hanging around, talking me down,
Hear with your heart and you won't hear a sound.

So stop, 'cause I really love you; stop, I'll be thinking of you --
Look in my heart and let love keep us together, whatever.

Young and beautiful someday your looks will be gone;
Others turn you off who'll be turning you on?
I will, I will, I will

I will be there to share forever;
Love will keep us together.
Said it before and I'll say it again, while others pretend,
I need you now and I'll need you then.

So stop, 'cause I really love you; stop, I'll be thinking of you --
Look in my heart and let love keep us together, oohh

Stop, 'cause I really love you; stop, I'll be thinking of you --
Look in your heart and let love keep us together, whatever.
I will, I will, I will, I will.

Describe how you live: [I Don't Have]
I don't live anymore
I don't love me this way
I don't have wings to fly
I don't have, gone away
I don't have anything
I don't need a space to breathe
I don't hide in sanctity
I don't need what you need
I don't have, have a space to...

I don't claim to know just why
I don't try to pacify
I don't love me just yet
I don't care, gone away

Share a few words of wisdom: [Believe It Or Not]
Believe it or not everyone...
Believe it or not everyone have things that they hide
Believe it or not everyone keep most things inside
Believe it or not everyone believe in something above
Believe it or not everyone need to feel loved, feel loved
But we don't and we won't
Until we figure out



There's a saying old, says that love is blind.
Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find.

Lit lesson at ttc today. Wasnt exactly the kind of must attend lesson, and its kind of okay for those who gave it a miss. We didnt do alot, and was semi productive throughout the whole day at toh tuck.

Went to suntec to catch The Omen with dom after lessons, and it was largely disappointing, and according to dom, the trailers were scarier than the movie itself, which by the way, provided no huge scares.

We went to glutton bay to eat, which Dom felt is overrated now ever since the quality of the food fell like crazy. After a very unsatisfying dinner, we went for some coffees and talked a lil before heading home.

Actually, I have quite a lot of stuff to say, but I'm simply too lazy to type them out. Besides there are potential repercussions to face if i publish them as well.

-

My heart leapt when I first saw you.



I'm troubled, but I dont exactly know why.

Alright, I think now I know why. Just gotta pinpoint the problem, settle it, and have the guts to either pick it up, or just walk away.

-

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell



While feeling bored, decided to go blog hopping, and came across this on madeline's blog. Enjoy.

Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good
as I should have,
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often
as I could have,
Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time.
You are always on my mind,
You are always on my mind.
Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times,
And I guess I never told you,
I'm so happy that you're mine,
If I made you feel second best,
girl I'm so sorry, I was blind.
You are always on my mind,
You are always on my mind,
Tell me,
tell me that your sweet love hasn't died,
Give me,
give me one more chance to keep you satisfied, Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time.
You are always on my mind,
You are always on my mind
