51. The Next Seasonal Tide

Personal/Friends & Family

Hello again, the January of the year 2009. The beginning of a new year, in fact the very first week. It is also the season in the year which many farewells take place. In certain way because it's usually the time when studies start so people either leave for further studies or to continue their semesters. Looks like a fresh kickstart with smiles and serenity brought forward from the previous year. May the joy finds it way in everyone's heart.

As for me, I will make my move back to the jungle(by the time you read this, I am already there). If you haven't know I brand my place of study jungle. But this photo wouldn't make you think so. Who wants a free ride(in the dream)?

[My first photo with an aircraft. Jonathan took this photo for me]

Good luck to Ye-Wheen in continuing his A-levels for his final 6 months. Go on, get a M.D blues-style. Good luck to Cheng Yee too, at Sunway...know what I duno wat course u doing oso...so BAD of me..island people basically. And to the rest, either still at holidays or going back already or starting on a new journey I wish you HAPPY STUDYING and best wishes in you endeavours.

Oh, for Hooi and Khang Yang. Work your ass off for STPM! Just make sure when I meet you guys again, don't look like some study geek or lose some patches of hair already. To Jon, I am waiting for your big paycheck in the near future. Your turn to treat me REAL big.

So here are some photos for entertainment purpose while I could serve.

ahh..my new partner. For the time being, I am going on a solo hiatus.

[dismantling to check out the innards, that neck space does allow me to fix a humbucker heh]

[Marshall amplifier..WOW..hahah..it's so good. This unit is very simple. So easy to use.]

[This matters so much...it's a Joe Satriani product ok! Planet Waves strap]

And yeah, thanks to Hooi for bending my string like 4 notes?higher and snapped it. But new set of Ernie Ball Medium Slinky equipped its way.woohoo

The splinter that got into my palm. It's minuscule. But to take it out, it's just nice, stinging, morbid and what can say, it's for the love of pain. YW got nice amount of flesh scraped off just recently, in the swimming pool. It's just so good to see blood huh. Dig em'.

[ahha..so small only...but imagine la using a needle to dig it out, to open a hole. Astounding.]

[the piece of splinter...]

My other accounts of pain were stepping onto broken glass pieces, stapling fingertip, burning fingertip using the car cigarette lighter, hitting and getting guitar fretboard splinter into between fingernail and tip and bleed. They are accidents of course and I never(for now) would want to hurt myself like this. Also getting aircraft wiring poked into between nail and tip. So what's your style? haha Be more careful.

And my first new phone. That's Guns N' Roses. Great Buckethead guitars in it haha

So, I will be back in Penang again for the Chinese New Year. Get sweatin'. Till next time. oh yeah..gota return KY his swimming trunk which he left that day...huh so gay.
My top 2 alien-based inspirations are from Joe Satriani and Velvet Revolver materials.
~JS - Surfin' with the Alien [and his affinity for alien stuffs]
~VR-Loving the Alien

For some non-personal/stress-talk write-ups, I haven't got any good materials. No inspiration though. There's nothing much for me to "preach" about haha. Basically just plain fresh season in the year. I just have nothing at all in my head, opinions or whatsoever except a still-born draft which I need to find a suitable time to write and post.

Time oooh...this year will test my time management to the critical level. Failure of doing so spells disappointment and will only reflect my "you-still-duwan-to-change" attitude. But at least I should improve a bit on giving proper time allowances and not procrastinating on and on again. This does apply to everyone, I reckon especially with this new era and generation of youngsters having new toys and "great" lifestyle. So, back to you people..enjoy life.

44. Forget & Wither

Personal

The number four. In chinese, as I know for dialects such as mandarin, hokkien and cantonese they are all pronounced similar to the word "die" which means die. So you see, most of Chinese owned automobiles won't have the number four for their number plates. Sixty nine is better right which is 69. So my post hits the two digits of four. WOW. So I got nothing special to storytell. Only disappointment and first time in my life I admit I regret.

Not putting extra effort in my Material & Hardware subject which is like studying History with chemical equations. But me, failing to do well in it 12 hours ago is like feeling worse than flunking history and bio altogether. Really. Really disgruntled. But let's not meddle with the past. I will look forward to the results. See if I can still achieve a flat cgpa of 4.00. Ambitious, lest I won't get to see myself achieving something like that in education in my life ever because semester 1 seriously is the simplest and easiest to score. Grr...

So I have another 11 hours to another paper, this one is similar to E&E. Electrical Fundamental I. And I haven't got my sleep yet. Yet another disappointment? Touchwood. 4 papers left and I'm off my jungle territory. Back to nest in around 4 days time, dudes and babes...

It's December, can you believe it? It was a year (-already-) ago I was done with SPM and now dealing with another kind...Ok. Take care. Cheers. See you around.

43. The Limits of The Dead + Sayonara Asrama

Personal/Ideals

Be afraid...the darkness that appears in the daylight. This is serious holy shit that is produced by Slipknot as the latest album after 4 years. All Hope Is Gone. Totally (sic). I recommend it to those who are (sic) of the environment and the life being in control by all The MAN. If you are a Maggot, we revel.

The "nano"gram, the 9-edged instead of 5-sided pentagram. It's imprinted translucent on the front and back of the booklet. Only Maggots could see it haah

There, the origin where my email got its name. #4 James Root, who uses a Telecaster >.<
"Whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you... stranger."
~The Joker[Dark Knight]


-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --


Goodbye hostel..(you suck! and your price went up)

hah ahh....no more cat shits strewn wherever favourable. No more holding breaths while doing laundry. It's like Slipknot saying "breathing in sulfur", suffocating.

The closet

The roof (for spiderman acts when any neighbour gets stranded when they left the room locked without having the key)

The shower pipe

The door (whose door knob has its own anti-theft system-pseudolock stuck-tightness)

The room (censored for privacy discreet-Jonathan's side)

Even though there's many downsides of staying in hostel I still love the community and close proximity we have. You could just meet your friends and neighbour-student-mates anytime anywhere anyhow..nevermind, let go. hah

My desktop background! This particular face in the wallpaper seems to resemble a bit a girl(young lady) I met a few times at different places, a stranger but if I'm sane it's the same person(..my fetish for resemblance..). And I know she's staying in the apartment which I am going to move in to next year. Not too cute-not too pretty-just so sweeeet. "She, may be the face I can't forget"...ahh.

[the pink make it looks like a girl's]

It's in my handphone wallpaper too... ya noe, I don't get to "wash eyes" at my place so this is my kind of amusement haah.

So, 1 week to go...a week of final exam. Then Penang will experience a bang that has never occur before. An electrifying experience with more than 2 fretboards transmitting superstrings of distortion concoction fluctuation satisfaction devastation. A Bigger Bang, that's it. Get ready Hooi, YW, Joshua and Andrew (and maybe Jonathan XD).

["The limits of the dead" is a phrase from the song Psychosocial. "breathing in sulfur" is from Sulfur. "She, may...." is from Elvis Costello - She. "A Bigger Bang" is a title from The Rolling Stones]

41. The City of Evil + Electric Experience

Personal/Ideals

In fact, a retreat from city busy life into a jungle means pure fun and leisure but in hedonism terms...welcome to the City of Evil.

The Booze

[the one the other day we shared with Mou Jian]

The Game

[the "chor tai ti" card game that fills up spare time]

The Contraband

[this one is claimed to be only available in duty-free state. If not, it's smuggle item]

And..and and i kill a lot already. The fact is I don't despise insects and arachnids and I usually flick them off rather than killing. But at here, sigh..I do "DOUBLE KILL" or "mo mo MO MONSTER KILL" on the ants, spiders and bees. Cos' they keep coming like some eternal pilgrimage.. But good enough, I don't kill the cats.Nevertheless, i'm still a good young man. enough said =.=

After the mid-semester break I never thought that I would touch any guitar or strings until I return to island. Know what, just 4 days into the continuation of week I hit one. My eagerness grew fiery. I saw guitars in my neighbour's room and of course with no hesitation I'd borrowed it for the week...AH.

[Proof of Play]

1 month later, everything seemed to betray the fate. An electric took its turn on my lap and be abused. Pure luck. My friend told me that a friend brought it but because I don't know that person at all I didn't bother to take any effort to borrow it. Then the next day I overheard a conversation of my class monitor discussing about guitars and his friend who brought. Again, no shy shy balls handsomely made its way to the room and "confiscated" the electric right away..

[Proof of Electric, an Ibanez with 24 frets and two humbuckers. And my ESP pick.]

[As true as the claims of being good at clean tones, the Fender Frontman 15R]

Fuhh.."seperti cendawan tumbuh selepas hujan"---if it's correct.. Suddenly, the world of music spawned a revolution of underground guitarists. They just appear and make their presence felt at a sudden cancelling the perception that people here mostly make up of nerds and junkies. Music junkies, yes. So I'll have a good time jamming and rock in year 2009 with the new bunch of guitar freaks.

Here I would like to share a few videos of great drums and guitars covers with you guitars and drums lovers/fans/enthusiasts/desperados/freaks/collectors/

40. November Rain

Personal

Great quotes here... http://www.phnet.fi/public/mamaa1/johnson.htm

It's the 40th post already wooo...and it's been raining on and off. Especially on Tuesdays without fail since....ever since, Hooi you've been taking it into account hahah. And tomorrow is Tuesday I have 2 mid term exams.

I'm back from camping...Sg. Tua, Ulu Yam, Selangor. Heard of it? It's on the way to Genting Highlands. Cool place. Cool river, too fast the current I couldn't manage to hold on without staying behind the rocks. But not cool toilet, what to do 300 plus men stepping in and out with.

The best activity was river activity. Especially when we got punished to get down to there. We actually enjoyed it more than feeling remorsed. Second would be the night-blind-jungle-trekking. Only a rafia rope to hold on to. Torchlights were not allowed. And there I fell to my side into a puddle or a stream midway..got a small scratch. So it was so adventurously experienced fun. I even got punished to lie on the water way. The darkness. And a total of around 4 hours of sleep only woohoo no big deal. No pictures. Just experience and memory.

2 weeks of studies to go.
2 weeks to study leave.
3 weeks to the final exam
4 weeks countdown to the end.

Ok just for fun...books books books.. muahah

These books are meant to scare the standard one kids, or tell them it's magic. I was this proud first borrower of the book....first in the record. Tell you the truth, i didn't read it. it was merely a motivation charm taking up my pile space. I didn't have enough time for it and the writings in it are super Einstein-ish.

These are the research information book on aerospace. It's titled Progress In Astronautics And Aeronautics.

And I like this book but haven't started on it. Found the other titles in the series too which sound interesting.

So hmm... there goes. Why so serious..?

38. Saw Announcement + Jungle Oddities

Personal

Behold, Saw V.
I don't get to premiere it Yw or Hooi quickly get a copy by Christmas then we'll rock our balls at midnight..

Oh ya, gona catch the coming REAL soon movie, 007: Quantum of Solace. James Bond movies starting from Daniel Craig line are my favourites...more muscle-imploding action..not romance-hairy action =.=

Ahead:
*Information on my campus life*
*Boring grandpa story ahead*
*Nice for curious friends*
*Good for keeping in touch with my sanity, tell me if have become Tarzan then someone has to become Jane from the city

I found this, on a table in one of the classes. And days after that I found another drawing..

XD the term 'jungle' here is just a mere exaggeration. But it's widely accepted by all students here at my place that this place is jungle hah. It's actually just beside the highway leading to Nilai/Bangi interchange. But the fact that if you're on the highway and you want to come here you will need at least another journey of 45 minutes that makes this place "jungle". Plus, it's situated in an area surrounded with lush forests and hills with vast size of palm oil estates.

And yes, lots of roadkills(lots of types too) along the way... And at night with no lamp posts at all which forces the high light to be switched on, it's scary..why? Because you will come across a signboard in the pitch darkness which reads "Awas:Kanak-kanak melintas jalan".

It's at least 10 minutes from any convenient stores for food or entertainment. 15 minutes from UKM. 25 minutes from Kajang. 10 minutes from Inti Nilai. 13 minutes from Nilai College. 15 minutes from Nilai Giant store. At least 35 minutes of KTM to Midvalley. Another 15 minutes to KLCC. Around 1 hour and 45 minutes of KTM to Subang Jaya(Taylors la, Sunway etc). Next destination, Sungai Wang vicinity, Petaling Street and 1-Utama.

This is the model landscape of my campus. The part behind the buildings are supposed to be hills of lush estate of oil palm trees.

It's these quasar time and distances that make us "people from the jungle" haha.

What we normally do:
~Wake up and go to class(normal l0)
~After class, back to room to sleep either to rest for another class or for the whole day
~Use the spare time to play cards particularly chor tai tee
~Go to the bathroom and mandi beramai-ramai(in separate cubicles la)
~Do laundry also together(only if class schedule permits)
~Dine at the opposite seafood restaurant(ironic, seafood in jungle)
~Watch TV there until before curfew time(by 12am)-(this one is not my group culture)
~Play badminton from 11pm to 2am(played basketball(outdoor) too but accident occured so..)
~Enjoy instant noodles together at 3am
~Continue with card game
~Life discussion chatting until 6am
~Sleep the whole next day with only one complete meal(dinner)

I thought I have done this before..never mind, this is in extra detail haha

haah I slept at 7am the other day after calling back to home to wish my dad for his birthday. Some Muslims were already up for prayers. But parents haven't wake up because they took leaves from work. And I was told that Penang was given a day of holiday for some political aim. Funny. And I woke up at 4pm. Basically, this is a kind of culture in college/uni life huh.. either for entertainment or last minute brain inflating studies.

This was the culture in the past month, which is the bulan Ramadhan.. No sleep (or short naps only) until 4am. Ok down to the Student Centre for food. At less than RM5, we can shut the stomach's grumbling for the whole day. 5am, start sleeping. If got class, wake up at 8 or 8.30am. No class, then sleep till 5pm. This was how we coped with one particular copious amount of writing assignment....countless nights... 20 pages full..for only 4 pages of task. woohoo but plain fun. and midterm...serious brain wreckage.

The hangar.

Reasons to stay in hostel(nice advantages):
-fun community socialising
-close rapport among friends and classmates
-fun group studies in anyone's room
-(if my laptop can support great games..) connect with the whole block LAN and DoTA/CS !!!
-easy for group assignment discussion
-super close distance to library or classes
-can sleep until 5 minutes before class and never be caught late
-save big money for accomodation

Reasons not to stay in hostel:
-have to be hardworking and get chops(proofs of being active in campus activities) and compete with over 1000 people who would like to stay in the hostel the next semester
-boring same old food at the cafe-need to travel out to get "extra-ordinary" food
-if your neighbours are high-tech, then 5.1 sound system will accompany your group study
-if your neighbours are dirty, the corridor is gonna smell and be dirty
-if your neighbours are thiefs.....
-dirty toilets...especially the clogging of uncivilised maggi-mee disposal in the sinks
-smelly because most people do their businesses in "sleepy mode";bad accuracy
-all sorts of jungle lifeforms residing anywhere everywhere
-boring if there's nothing to do
-gotta respect the majority Muslims of alcohol/pork/food during puasa etc etc
-gotta bear with more lung cancer symptoms..

Top reasons to get out of hostel:
-the laundry room is constantly scourged by cat shit(DAMN SHIT!) everywhere
-smell is so so so so so shit
-INTI Nilai area life is better
-food there is so different(new to me, you won't find them in Penang..but now I'm bored already)
-got CCs
-got Cs(but most of them got boyfriends d, sigh)
-hahaha

We should be moving out in the next semester...the house is only 10 minutes away.

The hostels from a distance.

hmm...know wat, long ago we had an meeting. It's a MIAT chinese community meeting haha. Seriously, you can count the number of chinese seniors studying here with 10 fingers..we alone(sem 1) make up already 10. So the fraternity actually grew larger. Cool people, especially in aviation field we get to befriend this kind of "I love aircrafts" people...most of them are from KL so it's interesting to hear about the life in KL...especially the clubs woohoo

ok la...30 more minutes I will have a shower and go for class at 8.30am in an hour time. I couldn't sleep. Got lots of stuffs running in my head and stomach's so full from the 4am meal. Hot sun rising already and thick fogs rising from the jungle.

~Sleeping at 7am is cool. Hear the morning bird chirpings as a lullaby to sleep and forget what's up for the day because you're gona wake up in the afternoon or evening anyway. Food is just all you need after that. Forget and wither...

I told my friend about life being short and beautiful. I referred it to the life of a butterfly. It can live so long as a caterpillar but after metamorphing into the new creature it could only last a week or so.. and about one week later i saw it dead, being carried by giant ants, feasting.

[the beautiful....]

{...this was written more than a month ago...}

This is the latest you could get of me..

Cool full-face helmet but this one's too big for me. Dear someone(s), please show this to Meng Jon, I want to let him see it. It belongs to a friend and he owns a bike, a Kawasaki ZZR250 exactly the same model Jon used to ride. Gona test ride it someday at the apron.

Reap the sowed..Rock ass people.

Anyway, because the writing(about my campus life) is written so long ago, it's outdated. HAHA

Quantum of Solace 2: Heartbreak Armageddon in the process.... The Funeral of Hearts was the prequel and a pilot. ..Allahhuakhbar..

22. 3rd Big Bang: Farewell & Road to Nirvana

Personal

The Last Song.

Load it then reap it. A tribute to Hide and the Dir en Grey hardcore supporters.

"SPARK AND SPARK" ~Kyo

1st Big Bang: The one scientist gave a theory basis.
2nd Big Bang: The one I initiated to ignite the barrage of all mysterious, exciting and depressing events starting 2008 A.D.
The 3rd: An ending leading to a new beginning

So much for an ending here in my home sweet home. Though it's only a few months away from home with occasional breaks one could not help but to feel sad and missing many things. It starts with me. I am the one gona leave. Jon as quoted, "it's different between being left and to leave someone" almost made me shed my 'bros over hoes' tears. With the mention of "12 years of knowing each other". I tell you a year of deep understanding and having fun together could already do the magic of friendship. Therein, an attachment is born.

So guys, no matter how many years, 5 years or 3 f*ing preaching years or what. Friends who exist as friends who are branded friends with the objective of being friends are friends you have around now. Leave or being left, I try not meddle with that. But I would just like to express, the most heartfelt and warmest gratitude from my heart and brain and body to you people, friends.

Precious and quality time together, they matter the most. This is what differentiates the feeling and meaning of leaving from other events. When you are far away, you couldn't meet so easily and there is the string of friendship that stretches when contacts get further from each other. So you feel the tension, the extension. And relationships often fades people forget about each other when you do not tend to the string regular enough, the string loses its elasticity and drops loose on the ground like that therefore you don't even feel the missing or close contact you once had.

So much for another beginning. Yo, close friends, enough of "asshole-banging" these few recent days so don't bang extra into yourself lest you bite them off. I don't like seeing men weep you know, the sick korean dramas are portraying men as meek and soft big-babies, furthermore they have pretty faces. Urh. Handsome friends, don't. Pretty friends, don't. haha. And don't make me do it either... heh. Guns N' Roses sings Don't Cry.

Genting 07 - Those were the extremely fun times together [clockwise from top: X, Ye-Wheen, Quan Yu, Khang Yang, Jon & Hooi]

So, I stop acting and sounding as if I am going to space and not coming back.

JKJK Hike - The rainbow of homesapiens. Cheers and good luck in the school exams [from left: Kai Wen, X, Khang Yang & Janina]

Genting 07 - Stick together team! Andrew's the one with cool shades and Jonathan is at top leftmost.

I summarise: We had YW leaving us as early as January to KL for his Taylor's A-levels. Then we have Joel to 'exile' in NS. Jon, Hooi, Jona, Ky and I all went to offer our services to the society by working our ass of for pocket money which eventually went into the CC, arcade, GSC, Subaidah, many restaurants and for some, ahem, treating their female colleagues. So "kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang". Then, one by one of us resigned to start our search for education, but for some of us it is hell looking for the suitable course that is within our area of interest and of course, budget. It is not easy. The most free three musketeers that were Jon, Hooi and I went for a regular fitness building stint at the Penang Hill and Botanical Gardens. A free sting by an unknown insect too that hurt like being jabbed for me for no apparent reason. And training for our Hikathon event too. Nice participation.

Tell you what, pleaaase try to hike up early and come down early before night falls. We went through this experience and we can tell you how the lost hiker who was found dead after a few days felt. Yes, we were caught under the dark skies and dense jungle after not making it in time to descend TWICE! No la, we didn't camp we just find our way through the trees with a puny torchlight which Jon brought and luckily he knew the way down from Youth Park no.3 onwards. We were super horrified(we may look macho under the sunlight but you will not imagine how "chicken" we were in the jungle). BUT, we still managed to have fun like take ghostly photos and wasting time capturing the night life scenery. Another encounter was trying to reach point 84 before the paths become really invisible, it was going to rain too so no moonlight. From 84 it started raining so we ran, jumped, fast-walked, slid, fell all the way down using the tar road to Botanical Gardens. The next day, limping with strained knees. Ah, that's all for too much about our jungle boogie.

Then, it was around in April already(heh only 3 months ago). Oh, Mr. Andrew Ling's turn to leave the fellowship of the Singles, Virgins & Unemployeds. He left to Singapore for some Ah Beng objectives. 2 musketeers joined. They were Khang Yang and Jona. Yes, they just fired their bosses but I can't confirm whether they their single status and virgin-being. Movies, food and CC were our activities. 2nd time of Ye-Wheen's return to Penang and that's when we went to overnight as storytold in one of my earlier posts. Before he leave again, we all went to Pantai Kerachut, yes also storytold "recently". Nothing much have happened lately, just plain outings with food and games. The horny buggers went back to GSC to work, hopefully all their wages don't end up in their girlfriends' stomach again. Hell ok, the helpline password "wa bo lui" is a sign of distress when wallets get metabolized. KY on the other hand joined the unforgivens of Form 6. Most people were already enrolled and studying. What do you think of us? Shaking leg is the new niche.

In June, the people were back again. Ye-Wheen and Andrew. A short break. Even Hooi, hah one the original musketeer. You are the first to break free from our hedonistic cult. Nevermind, I am sure your dead damn stout rocker instinct will save you from being a Disted Boy. You know, pig-dogs. Yaha, after due consideration Form 6 abruptly became your place. Hell yeah, Wei Loon's going to the United States of America the future place for Barack Obama. Illinois to be precise. Without you, I am without the Admin section last year. Best wishes. Jon, another F6-shock-cult is also in Form 6 now... stay cool, your turn to whip outstation-ass will eventually make itself present unless Form 6 breathed new life into you. It's just a matter of time right and an in advance wish of good luck in your upcoming application.

So, the final chapter...my turn. Jonathan and I will leave the pack to KL. The Next 1 week break is in the end of August. If you are reading this on Sunday July 6th I am already registered into my universi..colleg...uni...coll...duno wat exactly it is, my new school la haah and checked in into my hostel room already. If you are reading this after Sunday, I am already enrolled, to study for my diploma. Finally huh. Well, to inform again for those who didn't know. My place, is Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology. Situated in Sepang. Close to Bangi and Kajang.

I will be without you all already, after so much fun we had together it's my turn to embark on the next journey. My destination: Jrock kingdom haaha. My secondary objective is to battle the all-star YW band heh. But I will go there unarmed first...lest any mishap loss of property occur in a strange new place.

From Online to Reality - XD hey Adelyn, thanks for this photo. You rily rily rily don't look bad here la. Cheers, friend.

Editorial Board 2006/2007 - Headbang days, but we still find time for quality bonding time [they are YW, Sze-Chuin, Ian, Joel, Wei Loon, Jonathan Toh, Marcus, Eric, X, Razeen, William & Kevin Seow]

Dudes and hotties, I really would like to express my regret and apologizes for all my wrongdoings and sayings towards you people. I mean, yes it's the end of a chapter and past is already passed. But I gotta bring this up, I can just sometimes think back and realised that I did utter and do silly offenses and at times insensitive. Now that I feel sorry I hope that they don't come in between our friendships. I divulge that they meant no harm in any way or just coincidentally derogatory, unfortunately. Oi bugger! Forgive me la! aiy.... =.=

Last but obviously not least, my family members. Sigh, what a great journey it was in 17 years, 7 months and 6 days of caring, pampering, feeding, educating, training and love. This does not need any Stresser talk on love. It's very cliched but still true. Love proves its existence in the actions. Dad. Mum. Bro. Aunts. Beloved late grandpa and late uncle whom with another uncle who hails from Australia who constantly generously helped us kids financially in education. It sounds like a very big deal huh leaving home to a place 350km away. Yes, I being a mummy-spoonfed-boy for almost 2 decades, am going to be independent already. woohoo.

Langkawi 06 - Itulah ayah, ibu dan abang saya. Like father & mother, like sons..

Blood, flesh, milk... & money - That's my papa and my mami.

Here's to a very last activity detail write-up. The very last. Before the whole fellowship was broken into a very small group of Form 6-goers. It was on Thursday. Had Khang Yang coming over to my place for a bath before he rushed to his Interact meeting. Then I do the fetching of friends with Jonathan already by my side at school and we went to have lunch together. Before our movie plan was a pit-stop at Hooi's home. There, I received a great treasure. A surprise. A masterpiece. A gift(wth, wrapped with ribbon but good not in pink color). Really, the word 'thank you' is not enough, not even any love-making...gay. Hooi went got me the latest Joe Satriani - Professor Satchafunkilus & the Musterion of Rock album. I owe Janicia a heartfelt thanks too for contributing in the purchase. Ah...what nice people I have in my life. Gotta appreciate people more already.. Hooi on the ribbon wrote a rather super condensed life summary of knowing each other since Form 1. Heck, I almost cried reading it. heheh.. Ok, we head to Gurney after that with KY. Hancock. Good. Inspirational. Dinner: cream, cheese, pasta, cream and overwhelmed stomach walls. Then the main dish of the farewell outing, CC gaming. Started at 9.30pm. CS. Warcraft. And Warcraft. Ended at 1.30am the next day. wouh. And yeah, driving super late at night is somewhat cool, minimal or nil traffic(hopefully no speed traps). My top speed is 89km/h. Didn't dare go any higher as I was already on the slope coming down with plenty of cars around. I will go 120 next time..hahah So that's it.

I am so happy. A good buy too, 1 CD and 1 DVD for a price of one CD

One final piece of information, my recent favourite TV show was a Japanese drama titled Attention, Please that was aired every Sunday 3-4pm on 8tv. I didn't watch it from the start but middle. This show has ahem pretty actresses-ladies. And the story revolves around this young air stewardess in training, Misaki who picks up everytime from where she falls and learns from mistakes to achieve better grades and be a good flight attendant. The show depicts the lives of these younglings who are undergoing their training stints in both the airport and in the plane(not just the cabin crew, the pilots and the maintenance department are included). So this show is cool, it inspires me and encourages me to aspire to a greater height.

hah, so fun for an ending. I was listening to Joe Satriani's Is There Love In Space album and my favourite is Just Look Up. So buddies just look up for me. I also mean, "don't look down on me!" haha. Do I sound like I am going to Mars or leave Earth for a mission to destroy some stray asteroids coming towards Mother Earth? ..emotional la...my first time leaving home u know and family and friends. Life goes on dudes and babes. This is only an opening to the new chapter of boundless oceans and vast skies.

The Aeroplane - Hopefully, I will.. in the future.

Future in the Dream - Soar, and I will bring the Gods down from above and that will be my ultmate Big Beng.

This would also be a last post. This blog is going down the memory lane and will finally meet the Gods. Yeah, just look up. It's been a hell of a great time connecting with you readers. No, not no more dreams but just for the reason I want to walk away.

That also means no more boring long posts. No more detailed outing accounts. No more confessions. No more grandpa stories for you. No more thoughts to share. No more stress to stress. No more inspirations for you people if ever any.

Merci beaucoup en au revoir

Ame.
