Dancing King, young and suave, only 21~ (lolz)

no JB for me tonight!
boss Fadly aint free since tml's got L.I.F.E run.
cant go for servicing there.
kinda miss Aqua(Ah-Gua) Lane's Ice Milo and Ramli Burgers!!!
ahhhaa!
n e occasional trannies who pop by now and den.
anw, i havent rode thru e new JB checkpoint yet.
the other time i travelled with my bare legs, it took more den half an hour jus to get thru it!
super windy (read: whine-dee) routes and a whole waste of space. i prefer the rundowned version of it.
kinda suits it better, n more 'straight-to-the-point' then its current state.

anw,
i've been intro-ed this new song by Wilson.
my new earworm for e moment!



n thanks to it, im contemplating to learn Tango too!!
n presently i think e Argentine Tango i briefly learnt is kinda stylish and classy!
hope i hav e chance to further explore its world.

here's the official MV with lyrics:


earworm...earworm...


n oh hey! im gonna learn a lil of salsa tml too!!!
lets see wat ive learnt/am gonna learn so far:
Cha cha
Rumba
Jive
Samba
(teenie wee bit of Paso Doble)
Argentine Tango
Locking
Salsa (tml)
Waltz (mon)
Popping (nxt wed!)

n Tango might b e nxt best thing!
let's see, there's still Lindyhop, Tap Dancing tat i wanna learn too!

anw, i didnt watch my 2 hr Rumba vid ytd,
shall do so in a few mins!!!

whee~
im kinda back home from a locking lesson!
next week im gonna pop!
ahaha.

ok, my wed nites are gonna b busy too.
along with mon and tues and fri nites.
but hey! i still hav my thur nights to myself!
wahahaha.


u noe, some really old quote kinda popped up into my head 2 nights ago while bathing.
"Unless I grip the sword, I can not protect you. While gripping the sword I can not embrace you."
cant remem where i got it from though.

so i guess im kinda living it out ya...
with my tkd, i can protect.
with my dance, i embrace.

...errrrrrrr...

yeah u get e idea.

now tat i think back upon it, it's a really weird outcome tat im in now.
im like touching on the Arts scene inch by inch.
1st was drawing n painting.
next is martial ARTS. (still considered an ART okay)
den comes physical artistic expressions.
wat's next?
musical/vocal instruments?

my miniscule dreams of violin/piano/guitar/bass arent diminished yet.
but i guess those dreams wun be fulfilled tat soon yet.
n tat means i still dun hav e means to serenade others.
hahaha




looking back further,
my life has been a life of reverse psychology.
esp to my parents.
im almost not whatever they want me to b.
n im totally different to their likes and attributes and char.
they love all sorts of seafood but not me.
dun forget abalone and other tonics too.
n basically almsot every kind of edible items tat can be popped into their mouth.
although i think i got many bad genes from them too.
haha.

rite, cant wait to pop nxt week too!
im off for more tuts and a 2hr vid watching!
signing off.

kurosaki

hmmm?
me getting stalked?
no probs!
jus call 1800-STALK -'EM-BACK,
tats, 1800-77255-136-2225!
(ok doesnt sound like a valid num anw)


n oh! i havent da sao chu yet!!!
sigh, my sat is gonna b spent at home clearing out old stuff n junk, which i dun think i'll hav much.

so, rumba or no rumba?
i'd say go for it!
e more e merrier!
wahahaha.
well, it's time to cut down on my other stuffs too.

like wat Christie said, better time management requires discipline n e heart to keep it.
n i admit this entire week has been rather poorly spent.
could hav made more out of it if i wanted to.
anw, im on bad terms with self-discipline, but i jus gotta get to noe him more, ya?
*nods head*

actually, im kinda pondering y i set my timetable this awfully.
830 lessons in e morn for 4 days?
thank God it's not all 5!
am feeling e bliss with a 1230 lesson today!
n on a side note, im craving for cup noodles now. HEH!

ok to prove tat im not the only illogical one, try this urself:

Convert the following to if-then statements (i.e., the conditional) form,
- Fix my aircon or I won’t pay the rent.

Wat's ur answer?















If you fix my aircon then I will pay the rent. ...?






If so, you are terribly wrong!
the answer is:

If I pay the rent then you will fix my aircon.


Surprised? don't be. tats jus a miniscule part of e course im taking now.
you understand it?
if u do, CONGRATS!!!
u ARE logical!

if not errr...

anw, sleep time! blessed CNY to all!



$-$ <--- money-faced! =X

err... huh...?

whee~ busy busy week all over again!

anw, some workshops n concerts n competition comin up.
lemme noe if u wanna go, esp for e workshop. limited spaces only!







sigh, competition will b on 14th March, and e nxt day is e JDC.
wat a busy weekend tat'll b!
zzz.
n i tot it'll b 1 week apart.

lots of labour-intensive lab sessions to complete this sem.
it feels like a total upgrade from last sem's!
last sem's was jus normal labs, creating programs n jus save it in e lab com.

this sem's feels like assignments from last sem, only every week.

crazy stuff this is.



ANW, i love the windy cool season tat encompassed SG!
jus tat i always wake up in shudders and more shivers!
alright, time for tuts and labs!
ooooh ooh, lemme noe when u guys wanna meet up too! will try to make some space on my busy busy busy schedule specially for u peeps!
wahahahaa!

shleepee

one word to describe me right now, "exhausted x3"
been in sch these 2 days for more den 12 hours each.
830am lessons just dun do any justice.

*RANT RANT RANT*

sigh, gotta go recap on wat i learnt last sem.
programming lab sessions are jus there for me to get used to e new editor im gonna use.
n it's such a HASSLE!
unlike e previous one where u jus open, create, save, compile, run.
this is SOOOSOOOSOOOOO confusing me!
all e subfolders of junk n all...

n tml's gonna b yet another long day again.
need a bike repair, need a haircut, need sleep.
havent really gotten a comfy aftnoon's nap for ages.
i feel so rushed!
argh.

update update,
had a really terrible pain in my stomach for e whole of sunday aftnoon.
i think it was from 1230pm til 10pm.
couldnt nap it away, as it bugged me as i twirled ard on bed.
i nvr knew wat it was.
Gastric? well, it happened jus aft my refreshments at 12, n besides, i could still eat 3 servings during Choir lunch gathering!
n it's like at e top part of my tummy. like jus centimetres below my solar plexus.
weirdo ache.

had a ultimately long day today.
had lessons from 830 til 1030am. n aft tat was jus 'camping' in the Interim Reading Room for ard 7 hrs b4 going for FCM.

n like im gonna hav my 1st lab of e yr at 830am later!
[YA! im having 830 lessons almost everyday except thurs!
n tat means im stuck in e morning rush, n i always hav to squeeze in thru e traffic which i hate!
my danger levels hav increased 4-fold!]

anw, i finally scanned wat i drew near e end of last yr



much more to work on but i guess this is a gd start ya?
anw, gotta catch some sleep to focus on my journey to sch later. zzz
need His providence!

sigh... a new lx3 official case costs at least US $100.
but its so PRETTY!



heres how it looks like when it's closed.



WOAH...



anw, my Starhub contract will end this mon. n i hav my sights on a Samsung G400!!!
n here's how my new phone will look like!!!



cant wait for e Starhub festive deals. hope they hav better promos den now!
my current Hp is giving me lots of probs.
some buttons dun work, n i cant use if i slide it down!
sigh.
oh wells, it has served me pretty well over the past 2 yrs!
its a pretty versatile HP!
fast, interactive, slide-o-matic, and i LURVE the LED torch light!
hope e Samsung has one too!

YAY, my bro's fren finally returned me my PS2 aft a few months of DDR-ing with it.
so here i am, back to e PS2 classics! gotta finish my FFXII and Tales of the Abyss.
WHEE~

9 hours of dancing + 10 hours of sleep = 1 helluva body-aching experience!

anw, to add to e list of DSA's got Talent,
we have:

1 who can get 3 or more drinks for e price of 1 from a vending machine,
2 portable, walking massagers,
3 aspiring photographers,
4 choir peeps,
and many spastic ppl.

and techno tango seems rather quirky to me too.

anw, 1st week of sch is really gd.
no labs, no tuts, n i somehow think dancing takes up more time den e time for me to be in lectures!
astronomy is VERY interesting too!
(other den e fact of them mentioning tat we're made from star stuff, from e big bang. n tats how e Earth formed. and tat life on earth came from somewhere else, hitching a ride on an asteroid and crashed into earth. n TA-DAAA!! you n me were born!)
so far it's jus nebulae and eclipses. i wonder wats in store for e nxt lect!

old life, new life

phew, i havent caught a movie for a LOOONG time. I think e last one was The Dark Knight.
N tats ages ago..
'Seven pounds', a truly inspirational movie.
Keeps me thinking n pondering bout it all e way home.
"wat i could do with my puny little life to influence others? Wat difference i could have made?"
n these few weeks hav been a recap-ing of 2008. Lots of thoughts and reflections swirling ard.
(Sorry for e long faces and quiet moments)
I was playing the 'What if' game.

What if my life could start over, wat were the many things tat i could change in my life.?
What if i could time travel, wat would e 'present me' tell the 'past me', or others ard me in order to change my future?
What if we could start over, what were the things tat we could have skipped or added?
What would be the 'ideal' future for me?
im not saying tat im sad with my present, nor happy with it.
but jus wondering how life could play out differently from wat it is now.

Imagine moments of sadness changed to joy.
Pain and anguish to happiness and smiles.

Have u ever thought bout tat?

someone ever asked me, if i would rather skip an entire chapter of pure bliss and sorrow, or would i have decided to go thru it instead.
I could not give an answer then...






i guess, i would not have learnt so much or appreciated so much if i didnt enter tat chapter of my life.

things are different now.
times changed.

n all i can do is walk forward bravely to my unknown future.
to live a life of no regrets.

n i guess aft talking so much,
i remem a quote, "instead of looking inward (or backward), we shd look upwards instead."
how very true it is.

i wonder how much more i can change in 2009.
more, more trials!
wrestle me too!


and i guess, e first step starts with a new phone.
all those 700+ SMSes...


oh well, sch reopens tml.
a new year, a new life.
how's it gonna turn out?
beats me. im curious too.

"Take care."

these 2 words hav an even greater meaning for me now.
yes i do noe tat biking IS dangerous,
but sometimes i take His grace for granted.
perhaps im riding too recklessly again.
many ppl i noe of hav met with accidents.
tat PTI during army, whose funeral i almost had to EmCee at.
my army junior who skidded in e middle of e night at 4am with no traffic ard n entered into a coma.
n now this.
2 Grade A dancers whom i admire got into a crash last tues. tat guy got into a coma and passed away on boxing day.
it's really quite sad to see how ppl's lives are jus taken away in an instant.

n now im contemplating to get a new bigger bike.
or perhaps i shd keep to my old 100km/h restriction.
gotta take note of my mentality n attitude when i ride.
n most imptantly, pray always b4 i ride.

so Sam, u sure u wanna take up riding lessons now???




2009 will b a yr for me to change many aspects in my life.
it'll b another yr of frequent trials n testings i hope. (coz it's frm there tat we all learn to grow stronger)
much more responsibilities.
much less time.

n i gotta discern both current and future decisions with all due wisdom, whether it counts as black or white.
i guess i may not join DSA's main comm aft all. (still unclear)

many more commitments in this coming yr.
having competition,
having club performance.
having fusion dance performance which i agreed to today.
might start chairing YPF, not only jus mem verse.
might possibly b in e YPF exco as well.
(jus hope im not the new coordinator of FCM too)

n studies, which is gonna get more demanding as e yrs pass.

this sem's results might jus b a one-off event.
it's not wat i'll always get throughout Uni.
i jus hope tat i'll not gloat, since it really wasnt by my merit but by His grace.
but shall continue to persevere on to strive towards perfection as i do my best for Him.

Study hard, play hard, pray hard!


im gonna need lots of encouragement and prayer.
n u noe wat to do, rite?
Thanks peeps!

Praise the Lord!!!
results werent TAT bad after all!!!
phewie!

hope my future exams will pull up my grades!
though it sounds pretty tough to.

anw, finally a not-so-busy week lies ahead of me.
hope i can really take this time to slack n rest more.

get in touch n commune more with someone i owe my whole entirety to.
coz without Him, I couldnt hav done anything at all.

so THANK YOU LORD!!!








and on a sidenote, personally i kinda hate 'trial and error' scenarios.

Christmas isnt Christmas...~

WHEE!!!
it's Christmas!
but it doesnt feel like Christmas at all!
cant feel the mood gushing out of me.
but it's really fun to go carolling!
singing and eating and singing and eating! (and abit of rumba as a sidetrack)
ive nvr really been to those choir kinda carolling before but i guess it would b kinda nicee to listen to since they're all from choir, rite???

n we've got new choreography from Shawn!
it's e 3rd one and i hope we're gonna stick to it.
instead of changing it like e previous 2.
hmmm, argentine tango... seems pretty unique to me!!!
fun to learn i guess.

today's Christmas service was fantastic.
i love the song we sang: The First Noel / Pachebel's Canon
and i love the korean worship service's item with flutes and trumpets and their hearts in the song.
almost moved me to tears.

den we went for an informal carolling session at michelle tee's house.
n more more carolling tml!
whee~

shall finish my report soon i hope.
n i really miss my cam!!!
its been away for close to 2 weeks!!!

anw,
BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

i guess i still am.
suffering from a relapse, that is.
=X

im finally back home!!!
feels great to be back!
but on e otherhand, somehow i wish i was away...
wat a contradiction.

nah...
got lotsa stuff to do even during hols.
n i guess i cant keep doing wat ive been doing all these while.
jus had a mini wake-up call to reality aft im back.


i gotta sort them all out. defrag them to the finest details.
no more avoiding or musking it.
n i need lots of wisdom and strength for this heart-over-mind, mind-over-heart matter.
3 weeks left to take a break n ponder over it b4 my mind gets preoccupied with schwork again.
i know not wat step i shd take right now.
Guide my path, O Lord

Keep on dancing

[Gabriella]
Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.

[Troy, Gabriella]
Won't you promise me (now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing (to keep dancing) wherever we go next

(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

[Troy]
Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all

[Troy, Gabriella]
And you can't keep us apart (even a thousand miles, can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is (cause my heart is) wherever you are

(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

[Gabriella And Troy]
Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be

(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you (like you)
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do (way we do)
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance

ive jus been 'labelled' a shoplifter.
well, almost though.
met feng jus now to pass me a box of ferrero - which was supposed to be for me since oct but i accidentally left it under his care one sunday and kinda forgot to take it back frm him.
den from there we went to e Guardian pharmacy to buy some Opsite spray for his papercut.
den as we walked out e pharmacy, some staff was shouting at me frm behind.
den i suddenly realised i had a box of chocs with me in my hand.
n as i looked to e left, there was a stack of ferreros on display.

oh oh~
but fortunately, i asked them to check e security cams n oso told them tat e production dates were diff (coz mine was bought in oct. heh)
fortunately, e manager was kind enough to let me go without a hassle.

PHEW~

but weirdly i wasnt tat panicky or wat. oddly enough i was still chit chatting happily with feng!

oh well, anw, he's going for e Standard Chartered tml.
(as a masseuse, not a runner)
and i believe papercuts and massage oil on e patron's sweaty legs dun really mix rite?

hope he doesnt come back with an infected finger though. hee



funny how i've seen many snails these few days.
they seem to b everywhere!
baby snails, adult snails...
they seem to be mass producing to conquer e earth!
soon we'll hav slime everywhere!!!

n definitely a bigger supply of escargots!
WahaHaHaHAHA



yoshi, ikimashou!

btw, where did our DSA night cycling go to???

jus realized how many foodstalls hav quirky names these days

muhammad ali chicken rice - Thought he was a boxer??

Tekong hotplate - sounds like e green days when we did pushups on e burning quadrangle under scorching sun

Original Seafood soup - i wonder if there's proof or any patent of it being 'original'

Pine Tree Bay - i wonder wat they sell. r they online open for Christmas oso too?

Wat weird names to chance upon esp at Terminal 1 Staff Canteen.
went there on a sun aftnoon.

what a day!

Aft dance we all went for supper at ah Fang's
where we had a fantastic ice milo party!!!
talked bout exams - pot potty in e exam hall/adult diapers?!

aft all e sumptuous pratas,
me, Chek Lee and Kai Xuan went on for a movie marathon at Chek Lee's room!

SO FUN!!!
im so gonna play 'spot e diff' again nxt time!
den we watched Madagascar2 (MaAdafakap in Russian)
and all e Bring It On titles(except for e original one)
and oso watched Next (some clairvoyance action movie) and WALL.E!!!

all accompanied with Doritos and Ribena!
yum yum!

but i guess we were all zonked out during e 2nd half of Wall.E
Kai xuan was like 'oh man, i wanna watch it but my eyes kept closing'
but we 2 brave guys ventured forward, denying our sense of exhaustion and completed e entire movie while remaining our mental sanity.
wat a lovely movie!

oh oh, den we pretty much lay dead to e world as we waited for our Mega McGriddles to arrive!
it was like 9am when we filled our stomachs with food.
(well, me and Chek were still hungry aft taT)

while kai left for her room, chek installed RA3 and continued to explore its realms further while i concussed on his roomie's bed.
n before i knew it, it was 4pm!!! HAHA!
so i rushed back home and waited for dinner to celeb my mom's bday.
ate at some coffeeshop near Linear.
This is our spread:

Prawn-paste chicken



Cereal Prawns





Curry Fish head



& MORE Black pepper crabs!


and we ended our day by watching Wall.E with my mom and sis in my room again!!!
whee~

imagine cinematic-like environment.
pitch black, not-so-big 19inch screen,
not-so surround sound (coz e vid didnt hav e audio tracks for e back surround speakers)
