Shiok-a-dang-dang!

Rollerblading
Just got back from intense rollerblading with mp3 player in ear, a bottle of water in hand and a super anxious brain. Was feeling f**king anxious the entire day. Heart was constantly pounding.
Took a shower right after the (shiok-a-dang-dand) activity, and now super refreshed! *Renee Olstead playing in the background* Blogging. I'm refreshed mentally, but also physically tired. Just great! Now i can sleep well tonight and not worry so much!

Woke up this morning
@ 1330
Had lunch. Watched spongebob, had Jess Huang Rich over. Made Fab-u-o-lous papdoms! So cheap, like 20 for only 80cents! Gonna make them for Jess's b'dae this saturday...
Dinner - my fav Prawn noodle from Bukit Batok Central ^O^

Tomorrow
Gym in the morn! Huang is coming - Whitney & Mariah "there can be miracles, when you believe..." !! Joe training Jess. I'm going to kachiao Jess and Huang. Work back and legs in the meantime also to de-anxiety - toughest workout set. *sweat sweat*
Then have lunch and head back to Regent. Take O level results.

My paths:
6-9 pts - HC, RJ, NJ, AJ, AC
10-14 pts - AJ, AC
15< pts - AJ (though appeal), Poly, SIC

New Look!

Re-designed my blog! - NewLook
So cool! Michael Buble Rocks! My tag board a little irritating, i know.. haha..
Stupid Mel and Sher - Tag all nonsense!

Cut my hair! - NewLook
Now i have the army look... :D I look hot! *Ego is present*

School
Felt so rejuvenated in school today after a day's rest at home on thursday... It's a good thing i guess..
Terrifiying. Ms Wong was obviously pissed, Larry wasn't so bad - I think it's a woman thing.
During GP, we were writing little notes to each other to wish each other best of luck with O's and some other stuff - Larry is such a sweetie to have initiated this.

P.S. Mel, don't worry... So long as you know we love you, with or without the envelope, it doesn't matter! Cheer up!

At Mac - clemon aka Demon, spilled water on Sher's pinafore. Haha! Stupid Clement, Stupid Clement, Stupid Clement! ^o^

I'm gonna miss some people in 35/05... I'm still uncertain of school of choice! Ahhhhh! Results on monday, what the F*** la...

P.S. Navleen's pimple shrunk totally. "Pop! Goes Navleen's Brain" No wonder she has a tendency to wear wrong shoes and knock into poles.

Home
Fell right straight to bed. Exhausted. Went to the gym, met up with Joe and James. Gonna meet up with Joe for supper later. Finally hanging out with my best friend (FS) after so long...

Tomorrow
Rehearsals at Angie's place for March gig.
Meet up with Huang (and maybe Rich) to go get Jess's Pressie! Need to plan the party also. BBQ at Huang's place (The Warren) for her b'dae party. Too bad Jess's mom don't allow sleep-over...

Taken from a news site:
Meanwhile, Shrek 2 has become the latest animated film to be “outed” by Christian fundamentalists in the US. The Dreamworks feature, which had become recently available on DVD, is accused by the Traditional Values Coalition for containing “subtle sexual messages.”

The coalition, which describes itself as a grassroots inter-denominational lobby with more than 43,000 member churches warned parents to consider the animated film’s “cross-dressing and transgender themes” before allowing their children to see it.

The article described one of the characters, an "evil'' bartender (voiced by Larry King) who is a male-to-female transgender in transition and who expresses a sexual desire for Prince Charming. It also identified another scene where Shrek and Donkey need rescuing from a dungeon by Pinocchio and his nose, which is made to extend as an escape bridge by getting the wooden boy to lie about not wearing women's underwear.

Christian activists, such as Focus on the Family, recently targeted SpongeBob SquarePants, Barney the dinosaur and Sesame Street's Bert & Ernie as children's characters who are conduits for a pro-gay message. In 1999, Rev Jerry Falwell described purse-toting Teletubby, Tinky Winky, as a gay role model.

The next “pro-gay” cartoon to be outed might just perhaps be DreamWorks' Shark Tale, in which a shark mafioso, voiced by Robert DeNiro, must come to terms with the fact he has a vegetarian son who likes to dress up as a dolphin.


- Jho. Supper. Read Yann Martel - Self. Learn music. Sleep. Gym tml.

Procrastinated gym for almost a week now. *Guilt* Darn O level results frenzy! *Anxiety*

Funfair
LJB rocked the house down! The rest of the bands were seriously sub-par; maybe one mroe was good - the one with the Giant lead singer.
The R.I.P thing is so cool! Nexus, move aside, come on clubbin' in AJ! Danced on the table (chair), so farnie! Class 35/05 have such good dancers man! *Excitement*

Results
Don't wana mention it. (IRONY)
It sucks to know that the results will be out on Monday instead of this Friday. *Subtle Anger*
And all that brouhaha over the 17-points thing! MOE is just such an incompetent government body. *Accumulating Anger*

School Tomorrow
Skip it. *Relaxation*
Finally I can head to the gym! To de-stress! *Anticipation*

Friday
School - Most probably. Head to macritchie for Regent X-country right after, probably.

Mellow Valentines

School
Had Huang and Gawain over in school - they wanted to experience how JC life is. Arrived in school, tonnes of gifts (sweets chocs etc) came my way. So sweet. I wanted to reciprocrate. During break, i bought Huang, Kian, Cheelim, Gawain, Clemon, Sher, Mel, Rich, Ms Wong and myself a stalk of flower. At least now i don't feel so bad..

The SAF guys came to AJ to perform. Not bad. Sound is dry - bad sound equipment. Mics were very sub-standard. They sang Our Story - Tension, and i was secretly jamming the bass line. They saw, and almost got me up to perform with them on the song Hard to say i'm sorry... Close shave. Not ready to be humiliated.

Chee gave me an earring - one pair split into two, one for kian one for me - such a sweetie. Very boyfriend material.
Kian gave hersheys chocs. I'm the only guy that got it. Felt to honoured. Thanks brudder...
Jessica's gift was super cool; self sewed serviets with sweets.
Sher's was flashy; A letter with furry long things at the edge. Super cool. Thanks for being my friend also.
There are others, but too many to mention. I'd just like to say thank you guys.

Sorry for me being in this non-expressive mood. Having mixed feelings today. My day has not been lived to the fullest and i'm pissed with myself. Anyway, like Li Bai Yang said, arts students are very emotion-based people.

Had lunch with Sher, Kian, Huang, Mel and Rich at J8 Mos bur-jer. Kian is sick - as usual.

Home
What am I doing home on Valentines day? Why am I sitting at my computer typing away instead of going out?

I had a date. I was being asked first. I thought i wanted to go, but am afraid of the repercussions.
I'm single, single and available. Not because I don't have suitors, but i chose to be single.

I believed in what my god pas (hugs) said to me.

I want to be single, to date more people, to expand my social circle and not restrict myself to one person as yet. Of course, if the right one comes by, that's a different story.
Why am I home? I don't wana induce any ideas or stronger feelings. It is proven that more ppl fall in love on Valentines than on any other day - love is in the air. Hence my decision not to go out with that someone (i'm not naming names).

It's almost a shit day if not for my best friend by my side in school today. Huang, you saved my day... Didn't even manage to hit the gym, bloody tired..

I'm gonna go to do my double GP newspaper article + chinese tuition homework.


- Jho. Forever the bachelor.

Journal Entry (for the past few days)

CNY 1st day
First: Uncle's (maternal) house. Watched white chicks - hilarious. Wore tight flat fronts black pants, with red singlet. Cousins. Aunts.

Second: Grandpa's (paternal) house. Uncle and Aunt were there with daughter. Stayed till 6pm.

Third: Babysitter's place. I call her Mama and her husband Papa, son Kor and daughter Jie. Sort of my 2nd mother. Had dinner (just like every year) there. The usuals - steamed chicken, mushroom, broccolli, lap cheong, soup. The specials - cockles, tofu with toppings.

Fourth: Jessica's place. Tonnes of people. Watched American Idol. Went to Lot 1 to watch movie with Huang, Jess and myself. Didn't get tickets to Constantine. Met up with Yun (Jess's cousin) and Kane (Yun's best friend). Nice people. Kane is really sweet. Goodness, he is huge!! 1.83m, broad shoulders. Giant.
Went back to Jess's place, played card games. Forced Jennifer and Jonathan to sleep so me, yanting and jess can chat. Chatted all night long. Such a nice night. Have not chatted with them like this since a long itme. I miss them! Chatted till 3:30am in the morn! Haha! Didn't really care about parents' lecturing anymore. Coz we miss each other too much i guess. Borrowed Jess's blades to go home. Such a ncie time to blade - 4am - quiet, no traffic! Slept at 5. Woke up at 12noon! Tired!

CNY 2nd day
Went to Aunts (maternal) place.
Went to Mom's friend's.
Went to Aunts (maternal) place.
Went to Mom's friend's.
Went home - bought KFC from Lot 1.
Yanting, Rich, Jency, KY came. Cool.
Slept at 0030.

School day - Friday
Half class absent.
Mr Lee looks pissed. Quotes, "The absence is upsetting" lol! And just realised he likes to whisper things in my ear. Quotes, "Tell the latecomers to come see me" lol!
Mr Lee cancelled civics. Got to go home earlier. He rocks!
Wanted to go to the gym with Kane. But too tired.
Slept at 4pm. Supposed to wake up at 6pm. Woke up at 9pm.
After dinner, slept at 12. Did nto do any tutorials!

Today
Woke up at 8. Supposed to be Legs and Back day. Too tired. Afternoon gig. Decided to go tomorrow.
Rehearsals at PS at 11. All were late, as usual. Rehearsed in the MRT (NEL) instead.
Head down to Pungguol MRT station. Waited for incompetent shuttle bus to Marina Country Club, promised 1255, came at 1320. Took a taxi instead.

Sound check super rushed. So farnie.
1st set was good (acc to Angie). Organiser is very pleased.
2nd set was crap. Probably all too tired to sing. Anyhow hamtam. No energy.

Went for Mang Guo Ping at Bencoolen street! Yum Yum!
Went to recky SVJ new location, Fig & Olive. Good acoustics. Place co-owned by radio DJ Adi. Nice guy. Very friendly. Of coursed, the lady boss was impressed with our nonsensical jam session. Sometimes, TAS Youth Voices actually sound better when we're just casually jamming instead of times during gigs. Haha! Irony!

Dinner at this dumb Chinese restuarant at the Esplanade with Angie. No one bloody speaks english! Talked alot.

Went to Lot 1 to meet up with Kane. Realised his real name is Jake, not Kane. Kane 'cos he looks like the WWE wrestler Kane when he shaves bald. So you can imagine how big sized he is, and he ain't fat! He's a power-lifter. Chatted for a long time, till 0030. Mom pisssed - coz promised her to be back by 2300.

Now writing blog. Just took a shower. Going to sleep now. Nite nite!


-Jho. Sleep. Gym (later in the day). Finish tutorials (later in the day).

Exhausted. CNY Eve. Reunion Dinner.

Went to school
Wenting, Kian, Chee all skipped school. Fuck cool! School was not bad, quite boring. Dance sucked - i'm sorry, but Regent's Movement & Dance is much better. Dance is a niche CCA in Regent afterall.

Went town
With Dragon (I hope this is how you actually spell your name or i'll be super embarrassed!) and Sherlyn
Ate and MOS bur-jer. Went to many different shops, could not find a darn thing to buy! Until i happen to chance upon a light green polo. *Lights up* Great. So i'm settled.

Went for rehearsals
Back of somerset MRT. Pretty cool place, thank god it was windy!
Sound is tight, some were absolutely lost, didn't know what was going on but don't dare to ask! Ask and revise people! That's the way to learn.. No one is going to wait for you if you don't ask.. So ask already!
And i shalll officially declare that I Hate The Shit Song Long Juan Feng.

Oh oh! Just realised i got CDs from Angie, Jamaica cafe: Musik Mulut & the Korea Acappella Festival 2004 complilation. See la.. so busy until can forgot got new CD in bag!! Can't wait to listen to it after Reunion dinner!
Jamaica Cafe, i'm 1 out of 80 CDs available in Singapore. So coool! I'm so fortunate!

Went home
Instantly have to make Love Letters for my mom. She doesn't like to buy love letters from outside, thinks her recipie is darn good.. Haha! Then prepared the tables etc etc. Now writing blog. Aunt and Grandpa just came. Gonna shower before dinner.

Write again tonight, perhaps. Might go Chinatown to walk around - if it's still open that is!


-Jho. Reunion dinner.

Rush rush rush

Woke up at 4:30am
To study for geog test. Was half asleep, did not study much. Gonna fail test.

Almost late for school today - as usual.
Geog test.
Had to finish econs tutorial 4.
Everyone was playing my new phone (nokia 6170), taking stupid pictures. Some unwilling to remove the wallpaper of their face from my phone (Kian), some took pictures of his eyes and "butt" (Richard), Narcisussism exists (Sherlyn, Clement). Dumb peeps!
Darn Mrs Chong did not go thru that tutorial, instead went through Tutorial 5! Stupid me!!
Announcement of Econs test on Feb 21st. Kill myself now.

Went back to Regent
Mrs Chong is so nice, did the recommendation form for Rich and I. Cool bananas! Miss (some) teachers in Regent - really wonderful people, so determined to help and coach! I'm blessed.
Regent canteen food is still good. I miss saying the phrase, "Uncle, Peach tea".

Back home now
Listening to Alicia Keys. Have not taken a shower. Lazy. Sleepy.
Gym at 8pm - meeting Joe. Arms and Back day.

CNY Eve tomorrow
Will see what kind of celebration AJ has in store for us.
End school about 10am probably. Head down to town for rehearsal. Last minute of shopping for 2nd set of new year clothes. Back home - preparation for new year and CNY Reunion dinner (steamboat). Crocodile, Ostrich and Deer meat is on the menu! YEAH! I love exotic meat. *wink wink* Haha!

SICKening day!

"Don't go chasing waterfalls" - TLC
I have Niagra Falls plastered to my face today! Sickening nose, leaking the entire day non-stop. It's sooo sick-a-racious! Sneezed like a thousand times (hyperbole). So nice of Mel to buy me a cup of warm milo. So sweet! *hugs & sneezes*

@ the Nexus: So dumb! My "pornographic" positions were shot. How silly is that?
Wana have a look? Ask Sher or Mel. Bully an ill man...

PE was very relaxed today, good karma is on my side - i'm sick and thus easy PE.

Busy Busy Busy
So many stuff to do.. CNY is such a hassle! Buy new clothes (i've mixed feelings about this one), buy goodies, clean up room.

I NEED to get a new phone like soon, my phone is cracking up. Need to plan rehearsals for Valentines day gig. Note: The Valentines day gig is a closed door event.

Repertoire so far:
Long Juan Feng
Longest Time
I Get Around
Hard to say goodbye
Mama Mia
Why do fools fall in love?
Only You
Last X'mas

-Jho. Dinner. Still date-less for valentines!

Happy Birthday to you Mi!

"Boy ah!" My mom calls me that. ^_^

Yesterday after cross country.
239 is the position i got. It isn't great, but i guess it ain't that bad either eh? *consoles self* We were super tired of course but had so much class spirit that we went to J8 and had dinner at Mos Burger. Of course, silly Clement made us laugh with his cuckoo filippino accent; he's impersonation of the character in this flash clip is also spot on! Hilarious! Check it out: http://www.fractalcow.com/rex/

After dinner and a few laughs at Mos Burger (prounce burger as bur-jer; ham-bur-jer!!), we went to seiyu to look for my pencil case aka first aid kit. Failed.

Went to buy my mom's gift. Classmates were darn helpful la! Thanks guys! *Muack!* Got her a nice bangle from Bits & Pieces. Also got her her favourite snack - the almond coated pocky of sorts...

School.
Almost late for school, Arianna and Rich left first. Was trying to do GP newspaper article while simultaneously trying to keep awake. Hence being almost late.

I'm super duper lethargic in school today. Was dozing off in Econs lecture - goodness! Mrs Chong sings a nice lullaby, so does Mr Yap, but i digress. Mr Lee very mood-swing today! No Li Bai Yang.

Chee and Kian are super fag today! Kian is fag-ing. "Are you NUTS?" Haha! Chee on the other hand, he's not only fag-ing but gay-ing as well. Woah liao! And i'm his target! Haha. I think he gave up on women. Women are problematic, that's why i'm single. No offense, girls. ^<>^

Came home
Dad just came back with mom from lunch date - took her out because of her birthday - to sakae sushi, mom's favourite genre of cuisine, Japanese. Came back and Mom showed me what Dad bought for her, goodness! I was shocked! It was a genuie LV Bag!!!!! Pigs are flying. Dad hasn't bought any one item equivilent to the price of that Bag since their Wedding rings! I mean, coming from an only average income family, it was a pretty big deal. Mom was gleaming. I was stunned! My Dad is cool (for today)!

She was testing me to see if i can tell if it's real, of course, being the metrosexual i am, and my keen eye for details, I can instantly see if it's genuine. It is! Haha..

My sis and I presented out gift to her, she opened it and loved it. Both of us gave her a hug and said, "Mommy i love you!" She hugged me real tight. Motherly love is strong (no pun intended). It was one of the few times, I say that to my mom. So I guess she was really touched. Somebody say Awwwww....


So here I am writing my blog before i take a nap and Chinese tuition starts. How silly eh? Tuition on my Mom's birthday.

Taufik's album is good. So is his IBU! (inside joke, sorry) Quotes self, "Taufik's Ibu is good!" Laugh Richard Laugh! Tracks to look out for: September, Missing You Always, I Dream, Supersition, Ibu. I like the soulfullness of his voice, good control. Got lots of potential to be a great musician.

-Jho nap n dream about ideal valentines date.
