Merry Christmas and most importantly, Happy Birthday (Sorry too!)

Happy Birthday, my best friend, my savior and my reason to live.

I wish to personally thank you for everything you have gave me in my life though i have never been a good believer to start with, even after 19 years of believing.

Coming to NUS have been such a different experience, with me leaving my comfort zone, with so many questions and doubts in my heart.  Met with so many people, faced with so much problems and stress.

But you never left me, always there, always present for me.  In my darkest hours, my lowest moments, you're always with me.  Thank you.

Thanks for coming to the world 2000 years ago to show me a reason to live aside from wealth, fame or glory for ourselves.  On this special day, your birthday Lord, i wish to dedicate this post to you, no matter what others think because u made my life complete.

Thanks.

A nice Christmas song

To my friends whom i hurt today, especially Xian You, a personal sorry to each and everyone of you.
The only reason i was angry is because we are friends.
I'm never good at expressing words face to face, but i wish you all to know that i never blamed anyone for what happened today.  I know no one should be blamed given the circumstances.


Sorry for making you all angry, you guys reserve the very rights of being pissed off at me for acting so immaturely, because i never consider seeing things from your point of view.

But this is one of the proof that we are friends, because friends put feelings into their relationship and when they do that they would have the chance to get hurt too.  Normally i would not give a damn when it comes to other people.  I was angry because i was looking forward to watching the  movie with you guys after what we have discussed.  Sorry again, i hope you would understand too

Christmas Eve

It's hard to believe it's already Christmas!

This is the first time i'm celebrating Christmas away from my hometown and church and my friends in 19 years and i must say i miss how i used to celebrate it years before.
The countdown, the performances, the happiness, the lame jokes (mostly made by me).

This year i sort of celebrated Christmas Eve by following my hostel's choir team to Mandarin Oriental Hotel to do some coverage for their caroling.  Did a sort of countdown to Christmas in a bus minus the popping of firecrackers and the insane screams which i'm so used to.  The only sort of thing worth celebrating is maybe the S$ 179 (roughly RM 400+?) buffet that i got for covering the carol.

If people asked how i celebrated Christmas Eve, i would say i enjoyed a very expensive buffet at a very expensive hotel.

Will be going to City Harvest to celebrate Christmas later.
What's a good Christmas celebration without going to church?
Because the reason we're celebrating Christmas in the first place is to commemorate Jesus Christ's birthday.
Not Santa's.
Or else it'll be Santa-mas.

Ma Exam Results

Received my first (again) exam results yesterday.

I've been receiving these damned exam results since i was in Primary 1 and i still can't help but feel extremely nervous every time there are exam results to be announced.  Sometimes, it just feels like a lucky draw.

You'll never know what results you gonna get until that day, but of course, in a lucky draw, everyone has an equal chance of winning but in exams, your chance of doing well is directly proportional (speaking in highly intellectual terms lol) to the effort you put in.

No effort means sucky results.

Ops, sorry to rant on and on about all these "philosophies".

Lets see, i wouldn't say my results are good or neither they are quite bad either.

I have a B+, 2 Bs, 1 B- and a C+ so i got a CAP of 3.3 out of 5 after you divide everything out.

Like usual, i'm the middle average guy.

A post with LOTS of photos

Woots, i finally have time to update my blog after so many hectic days of having fun.

Yeap, having fun could be hectic too when you have to walk here and there for the whole day.

I think i actually managed to cut some weight as a result of over-walking this few days.

Went to Orchard, wanted to do some shopping but gave up after seeing the immensely expensive stuff there.

But i still had a good time as the decorations there are quite nice and enjoyed the talking cock and doing lots of stupid stuff there with the gang.

Here are some pictures:

What kind of emergency that needs you to pull down the pants? Hmm...

Me in pink again, this time with a skullcap!

(is it called a skull cap? i'm not good with clothing anyway)

Group photo beneath one of the many big Christmas trees u can find at Orchard

The biggest Kinder Bueno in Singapore?

Photos of night view in Orchard:

And this is Jason Teh after a hard day shopping around Orchard:

Besides going to Orchard, i also followed Eusoffworks (my hostel's media wing) outing to somewhere near Clarke Quay.  It's a photography outing which means i have to take a lot of photos, so me and my trusty N79 got down to work capturing those moments which shall forever be "Scandal Photos".

(The DSLR cameras were all occupied, so i have to settle with N79)

Scandal 1: Jason trying to take pictures of Kok Weng's leg hair

Scandal 2: Jason stalking Erin

Scandal 3: Erin: "No, Jason! You can't take photos of my leg hair!"

Scandal 4: Look at Jason's expression when he's looking at Erin

Scandal 5: Jason sharing a cup with 2 other guys! OMG!

If you have noticed, all the "Scandal Photos" revolve around only Mr Jason Teh.  Well, this is because he's owing me S$ 1000 and have still not yet repay me yet so this is one of the way i'm using to force him to repay the money he owes me.

I'm just joking.

The real reason is because i'm jealous that his more handsomer than me.

And please do not misunderstand the photos up there, especially Erin's boyfriend.  Those photos are not really scandal photos so you do not have to think of ways to whack Jason.  It all lies in holding the camera and capturing the perfect moment when the situation looks like scandal.

Speaking of capturing the perfect moment, here are some other "epic" photos i took:

The 2 professional PIB (Photographers In Black)

Poster for the upcoming movie, Lovingly Revenge, starring Jason Teh, Erin Ong and the revenger, Ng Kok Weng.

Erin and Kok Weng admiring the beautiful scenery

Sharing a light moment together

Jason: (speaking to the statue) You jump, i jump.

Kok Weng: The dude next to me have gotta see a doctor.

Erin: Whatever! I'm taking a photo of the hot guy opposite the river.

Me: Mercy, oh Mr Raffles!  I promise not to self-praise myself handsome anymore!

Ain't i handsome?

(Ops, did i just forgot my promise to Mr Raffles?)

Wow, guess i have to stop uploading pictures already or risk having this post to take forever to load.

Well, you can't blame me actually.

It's the holidays anyway, and i just got back my phone after a few months without it.

So now i'm taking all the pictures i can with the phone, pictures of me eating, going out, playing, bathing, doing my business in the toilet, blogging, breathing......

Why?

I'm emo again.

Even after so many numerous outings with my friends.

I hate to be emo, i really do, but when life sometimes gets too much to handle, i really can't help it.

To be honest, i'm not exactly the biggest fan of myself.

Many of my friends regard me as a "perasan" person who always self praise himself, having overflowing sense of self esteem.  But how many really do know me on the inside?

When i look at my friends, i can't help but wonder why am i brought into this world.

You see, unlike my friends, i pretty suck at everything.

Singing, dancing, acting, studying, anything.

In fact, i often wonder what i really have inside myself that is worth mentioning.

And life can be so unfair sometimes when you have nothing to offer.

You'll be cast aside, ignored, unnoticed, unappreciated, just another person in the background.

This is the world.

Where "normal" is shit and only those who are strong, those on top on the social ladders will be exalted.

But please, don't bother coming to me in person and consoling me.

I'm ok.

I know the advice about everyone being unique and God loving everyone.

In fact, the knowledge about God loving everyone uniquely, without discrimination, is what makes me going.

It's just that sometimes that i can't help but to question why God want to make a world that is so unfair.

Why indeed.

Pink!

People say that i like to wear pink.

Usually i would react to that statement by saying that i only have a pink shirt in my entire closet.

Just one!

But after seeing these photos that Xian You took during our Pangkor-Sunway trip, i finally understands why all my friends say i like to wear pink.

Because i look GOOD in it!

 

If you have noticed, all of these pictures are taken with me in a pink shirt.

And its the same design!

Hmm, maybe i could just consider switching my entire closet to pink since i look good in it.

Maybe pink pants, pink shoes and even pink underwear!

(The origin of my weird taste in pink is still unknown, but experts believe that it may be due to my sort-of-gay-ish buddy Mr David Wong and my blur blur ex, Miss Song Jia Yee)

Back in NUS!

I'm back in Singapore!

Back with a new (handsomer) look thanks to my awesome specs and cool haircut.

Got back my old N79 phone too!

And since now i can take picture again, what am i waiting for?

First photo must be a cam-whore!

New hairstyle, new specs but not new clothes.

And you can't trust Nokia phones to take clear pictures >.<

First thing that i did after coming back to Singapore was to clean my room, which happens to be also my first time in my life cause i rarely clean my room back in Malaysia (cause got mum and dad) and man, its not easy.  Not to mention the job was made tougher with me being inexperienced.

I happened to mop the floor first, then clean the fan and had to mop the floor again because of the dust that dropped on the floor when i was cleaning the fan.

Never knew housework needed skills, thanks mum and dad.

Another shocking thing that happened was when i asked for lunch.

Me: So, where are we going for lunch today?

Friend (I forgot who said it so i'll just put friend): Oh, we're cooking ourselves.

Me: I see, cooking as in cooking Maggie mee?

Friend: No! That's so unhealthy!

Me: Erm, so what are we cooking then?

Friend: *said something which i forgot but i knew my reaction was =.="" *

The =.="" reaction was because i had no prior or minimal cooking experience.  Heck, most of the time my job was only to eat when i was at home.  At most i would just stand and observe how my mum or grandparents cooked.

Which was the reason why i stood at one corner and took pictures while the pros cooked.

 Huang Hua boiling the soup

The same scene from different angle (i really had nothing to do)

New scandal for the day, Jason and Huang Hua!

Can be our dad and mum?

Jason: Die, eggs!!!

Datuk Dr Seri Tan Sie Wee and Mr Ng Kok Weng playing with the pork.

But they're still more pro than me T.T

Well, after being left at the sidelines while the pro cooked, eventually i mustered enough courage to cook what i know how to cook.

Eggs!

The eggs which i was cooking.

Turned into a laughing material when we all realized that i was cooking without turning on the electrical switch

Note to self: Learn cooking from mum and grandparents!

A trip to the hairstylist

I went to have a normal haircut today.

Normal haircut then magically turned into an expensive scalp treatment plus a long sales presentation to buy a so called "organic" shampoo.

Hairstylist say my scalp is gonna die with all those dandruff and bacteria running wild on my scalp.

Did the treatment and bought the shampoo without much thought because i want my hair to stay on my head at least until i'm 30.

Then i'll go bald happily when there is enough money for me to go bald

(there's a Cantonese saying that 9 out 10 baldies are rich and i definitely want to be the 9).

Hairstylist say its my lack of sleep and stress that is driving the bacterias wild with reproduction.

F***

Now even the hairstylist is asking me to sleep early besides my Psychology book, my parents, Mr Jason Teh, some bloody scientists from America and the pig next door.

With so many motivation to sleep early, what am i still doing here updating my blog at 2am in the morning?

A view of my scalp problem

Happy Stuff

I'm on a blogging spree!

Have been updating my blog since nuts after coming back to Ipoh.

Have many things to blog about i guess, since i spent 19 of my living years here.

Gonna post something not-so-depressing now since got people comment that my blog is full of depressing stuff since coming back to Ipoh.

After counting like a dozen of spiders weaving webs around my head (I think i can pass as Spider-web-man), i went out first to Jusco to try to buy some movie tickets and to look for a book "Can A Smart Person Believe in God" by Michael Guillen (No, it's not about me being smart or anything, the book is about whether a person can believe in religion and science at the same time) while meeting up with Nicole and her friend, Pei Mun.

Went back to dinner and then out again to celebrate my ex-colleague, Jess, birthday at a 3+1 shop (where you get to steamboat + fry + bbq at the same time, yeah they even have 3+1 now) with her boyfriend, her friend and another of my ex-colleague, Cheryl.  Not a very good move after having dinner.  Can't manage to stuff a lot of stuff in and still have to pay.

After that drove all the way to McD near Jusco to meet up with Yee Kheng, Tyrael and Ting Jiun.  Since the queue inside McD really long (so much for FAST food), we decided to take the drive-thru as it as it was surprisingly faster.

 Continued our night in Ginn Yi's house watching Borat, a hilariously  sick movie, but nevertheless, a must watch especially if you are stuck with a bunch of Single Handsome Guy buddies with no girls and nothing else to do.  However, be prepared for some sick scenes from the movie (imagine Brokeback Mountain, but much worse).

After reaching home and signing into my MSN, i found a close friend of mine last time whom i have lost contact with for a long long time is online!

Chat with her and found out that she is now studying music in Taiwan. Wow!

Surprisingly also she still reads my blog.

Thanks!

And also, Ginn Yi has finally uploaded my much awaited picture that we took in Nokia Care the other day!

What else could make my day better?

Cheers!

One spider, two spider, three spiders.....

Gosh, i've been sitting in front of my computer rotting for about a few hours already and now there are even spiderwebs around my head.

I have practically nothing to do now, even in front of my computer, except browsing through blogs of unknown people, spamming on a few Facebook mini games like Plock and waiting for another spider to weave its web on me.
