Happy day oh sunshine shines...

Finally had a very pleasant day out of a decadent week filled degradation.

I attribute it to my nine hours of pleasant sleep =D.
Though my all nighter on tuesday has been making me doze off quite a bit during the day. That's quite disquieting, i hope i can get enough sleep for tomorrow. BIO BIO BIO BIO BIO, my last paper and saving grace. I'm gonna get that A.

I've been singing all day too. Brett and TSO and Christmas carols all stuck in my head (: oooh and a little Frankie. Everyone loves Frankie (:

I've got a crush on you --Frank Sinatra

How glad the many millions of annabelles and lillians
Would be to capture me.
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance.
I fell, and it was swell.

Im your big and brave and handsome romeo
How I won you I shall never, never know.
Its not that you're attractive,
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view.

Ive got a crush on you, sweetie pie...
All the day and night-time, hear me sigh.
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion.

Could you coo? Could you care,
For a cunning cottage we could share?
The world will pardon my mush,
cause I have got a crush on you, my baby, on you.

haha I know which fivefootniner I wanna sing that too.
:P

Christmas isn't that far oooff, if only it was november than it's be in a month..
wish it would snow snow snow... I haven't seen real snow since I was 6 ): all i know is that we made small snowmen (hey we were small kids) and after a while we brought them into the house cause we thought they were lonely. Though that was much to mother's chagrin and forehead slapping, and we thrown into our room as temporary inmates. When was the last time you got sent to your room for being naughty.. Tsk tsk you naughty people.

So I went to cut my hair today. Now it's super short, I actually look like a good little boy (:. if you consider me little...hahaha. Well Khaw saw lynn won't be sending back for a hair anytime soon. My hairstylist is really economical, she cuts me a nice style that looks good short and grows out into great in two weeks and then lasts about one and a half months.. haha and i always wondered why she thinned my untameable hair so much... well now I know. Still wish i could keep nice long hair..bah..haha, then there's all the piercings that i wanted to do..Well it's a vexing trade-off..cosmetics appearance for lifelong dream.

The final pleasant thing that i had done today is got my lovely handsome face stamped onto another ezlink card. FINALLLY!!! no more coins (: I know how I lost it already i might have accidently thrown it away when throwning away the used paper.. blah.. Such careless discard of important documents. Well now i'm fully equipped for BIO tomorrow. I even have a ruler. hahaha.

Tomorrow will be a good day!
Finish bio with a GOOD GOOD FEELING! A
Then I'm gonna go do squats and hams and calves and run 7klik.
Followed by dinner and a movie with friends..
and a destressing intoxicating session.. =D

Ain't No Reason [Brett Dennan]

There ain’t no reason things are this way.
Its how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.
Preachers on the podium speakin’ of saints,
Prophets on the sidewalk beggin’ for change,
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name.
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same,
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing,
You can spend your whole life workin’ for something
Just to have it taken away.
People walk around pushing back their debts,
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets,
Talking ‘bout nothing, not thinking ‘bout death,
Every little heartbeat, every little breath.
People walk a tight rope on a razors edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons.
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence.

There Ain't no reason things are this way.
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I don’t know why I say the things I say, but I say them anyway.
But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes.

Prison walls still standing tall,
Some things never change at all.

Keep on buildin’ prisons, gonna fill them all,
Keep on buildin’ bombs, gonna drop them all.


Working your fingers bear to the bone,
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul.
Like a lung that’s filled with coal, suffocatin’ slow.
The wind blows wild and I may move,
The politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth.
The air on my skin and the world under my toes,
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes,
Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow.

Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes.

There ain't no reason things are this way
It’s how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.

bloody mondays.

gaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

i just killed three papers by this time. i should be arrested and hung on the gallows. It's worse for me than other people.. They have an excuse! They get to leave the hall and complain about the difficulty of said paper. If life was so easy for me, I'd get to repeat the same thing and join in their universal groaning. That ladies and gentleman, would be just awesome. Yet, no.. I get the joy of proclaiming, it's a bloody easy paper. I CANNOT believe I FUCKED IT UP. It happens all the time. Every half a year, I go 'next time...' I'm sick of it.

sigh.. I wasted June. I watched only one movie and i didn't even get to go out. Oh well, now i've revamped my studying habits and I need to find a bunch of nice smart freaks to study with >.< urgently i might add. bAAH

Ending my rein of complaints and rants is that I'm still up. It's 4 am. i've got two papers today. Bloody bloomin' brilliant. Only thing i can say is at least i have House..(:

Apart from that.. I had a rather amusing short session of studying with roy, his friend shawn and that girl from school eejin or something.(i think i spelt it right) i ain't going to say why i found it amusing but it's an amusing psychological thing.
A pity that you decide to take the way they treat you in school and replicate it to others as if it's okay and normal behavior to treat other people. non.

I can't wait for the papers to be over, I can finally relax for a couple of days and get my creative itch scratched. It's photo-expedition time, I've got plenty of ideas that i want to explore. Curiousity is a fine thing to have init. Haha i'd like to share with the world moi's ideas, but i fear it's a bit too early. Soon..soon.
I can't wait to get back to training. soon soon.

I ALSO CANNOT WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS... music mmmmm

Let me show sin.

The partakers of sin


Battle Damage

The sins







We went to Botak Jones for lunch. And we commited grave sins

The paths we choose.

IN my head: Monday Monday

I feel very disappointed in myself these last few days. I'm not very sure why.
My revision has began to slow down and i feel more idle hours coming by.. haha that overtly exerted pressure from termies is starting to crush me. Though i shall congratulate myself this time. I am REVISING and not LEARNING....:P not like the past two exams that I had taken. WHEEEEEEE... seems so swell all of a sudden... but I'm disappointed in my planning. I haven't touched GP and i've barely covered lit..I don't know how i'm going to get that AAAB i was planning. My gp is nowhere near the standard i'm looking at. Lit neither. Bah... I wonder if the my other subjects are too... Need more mental strength. Memory functions better with confidence, just like my pitch.

That said i already have an excellent memory. The stuff i can recall about people till now and the detail in which i revisit memories...If only i could have clarity to express these things. I think having photographic memory would freak out people. I guess that's why i've been playing a game where i pretend not to notice things. I'm going to start stopping myself from playing it. I think it annoys people more, especially when i make random spurts of observation. Heck a lot of my heroes have eidetic memory. For most part anyway. Holmes and House for example. Gah..I should just be myelf..

Though the other thing that constantly bugs me in all those possibilities i wasted, this year. I guess I was skirting aroung being a moron for not doing what i could have done. All the more i'm making this more difficult for myself. I hope it works. These are crazy ideas.

Though I wonder if you wonder like me, whether if you were ever curious to explore that possibility, where would we have ended up? Or do you brush aside the notion when your mind wanders and the whole thing strays into thought. Maybe you should just slap me for retarded. If you even were curious to find me in the first place?

Three days till GP/CHEM.
three days till I get my chance to start over. I hope.

johari

haha try mine out...

Guess that oldie!

it's so simple...
you need a computer, a huge song library and a friend over the web..
what you do is to take turns to guess that oldie from the lyrics!
you pick a song and play it and type out the lyrics as they come and let your friend have jolts of memory.. try. it's fun (:

bad day good day?

how can you tell a bad day from a good one?
i woke up at 11.. well more sleep or less time mugging?
i practically stoned till 1 before getting out of the house.. then bernice messages me to tell me she's not coming over to serene.. wonderful math is on hold, then hana has to take her cat to the vet...blah no study buddy...

so i finally got over there and wasted time till 2, when bowen.. that's a good thing! i have seen my chink cheong chinese boy in a week...so we caught up.  Tallish like things (but not tall) apparently flew by. and people kept looking at me weirdly cause of snapple.. who that delightful turtle who reminds me to study. samuel can go to hell....hahahaha snapple's cool.

next thing, on random occasion, guess who manages to show up... but... Mr. Cult of personality Justin Thio.. the one eye big, one eye small.  i wonder if he as any cyber stalkers..haha maybe my blog will get more hits -_____-. his fanclub wasn't around today.. but there was lots of catching up.  all these are good things right?

then i only started work at 4, when bowen went to read comics! my buddy must wanna study or i won't >.< but that's okay.. i mastered energetics today. like raced through all the questions on that work sheet... next is bonding.. that's good...

but wait kids.. david is still in deficeit with his bonding! oh no.. it's super shakey topic, while energetics is small minute section,but bonding is set to blow the audience minds away with it's skillful, cunning, and foxy(ok who am i trying to kid...) chem questions. not to mention lit has yet to begin filming and math is short two annoying topics(anything that requires a GC is stupid... must be my dragon blood speaking) and bio is short practice. the script needs to be memorized.
that's kinda bad init...

well don't worry kiddies..
the whole of next week is a kill everything week. plans always good.

then there was a training which was bad...played three games of touch.. i've never gotten the ball so many times before in a touch game.. i've become my worst nightmare... a stupid forward! nooo..i took the ball and i couldn't think of my options.. i just stunned.. so paiseh.. plus i saw the gaps too...NIGHTMARE..
need to play more touch..

i hope today will be a good day.
i hope i'll get to say what i need to say.

One Family

We are one family, in the lord,
That's how it's meant to be, in the lord.
Working hand in hard, to make it known
Throughout the world! So,
Let's just STOP and face each other,
It's like looking in a mirror.
Recognise our similarities.
It's time to come together,
We can make things even better.
Try to be what he meant us to be,
One family.


Oh i just looove this song.. it bring so much hope. To be united as friends as family, to one great Christian community, no more Catholism, no more orthodoxism, no more protestanism.

premonitions

hope it's not too bad..



haha these were designs for my affirmation envelopes at conf camp.
i haven't blogged in a while either... haha i wonder who reads my rubbish anyway..
pop a message on msn if you do!

Minutes to Midnight

"Leave Out All The Rest"

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Don't be afraid
I've taking my beating
I've shared what I've been

I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that ive done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that ive done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

V for Vendetta

this my dearies is the quality and verbosity that movies should have!

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V's introduction to Evey. (In simpler words) Behold! Before you is a humble stage performer, cast, against his will, by the whims of fate, to the roles of both victim and villain. The face you see now is not just some meaningless costume. It is a remnant of the People's Voice, which has since gone and disappeared. However, this past annoyance stands courageously reborn and has sworn to conquer the evil and corrupt, who promote greed and the violent suppression of free will. The only choice is vengeance; a personal war held as a promise, but not in vain, for the importance and self-evidence of this quest shall one day exonerate the watchful and the righteous. But in truth, this thick soup of words has become too excessive. So, let me simply finish by saying that it's my very good honor to meet you, and you may call me V."

My dear yeh yeh has returned home.
I wonder if it would be strange in my emotions, for at peace i was when the deed was done. The holy spirit had really filled my heart and soul and i could feel him in the room with us as we prayed and sang and the lord took yeh yeh up to heaven with him.
I was happy i smiled and i know he was. (:

It was a happy death. A life fulfilled. Though i will miss our conversations and storytellings and jokes, but it's only for a while, till life eternal will eclipse us all and till then we will meet again. (:

It is because of this i truely believe that death is a joyous occasion, sadness therein is only for those who cannot accept it, or who do not truely understand it and fear it such. I will cry tears at a death, but not those of sadness, but of happiness, for i know that they had started their journey ahead of me. It grants me much joy and peace, that they have returned home to the house of our Father above, to feast at his table and join in the unending song and praise of the choirs of angels.

Yeh Yeh, you'd have loved your wake... so many people who came to visit. We're people persons we are, love to mingle and joke and talk and laugh. I certainly hope i can fill these monstrous boots you've left me, though i'm huge, i feel this legacy is far more gigantic. Thank you for all that you've taught me. See you soon. (:

sleep is for sissies

i hate my brain and it's chaotic processes.. I WANT TO SLEEP..
heck i was falling asleep playing mindless cacophonic monotonous melodies, rather not playing, just banging keys on the piano.
mind not this sleep deprived child and take not for granted ye who were born with normal brains, that shut themselves down on command..
yes yes.. emo eye bags on the way sigh

Welcome Easter Night.

well here we are again, one year's past.
nothing much has changed.
i'm still j1(much to my displeasure and fault)
i'm still single. (much to my moronic momentarily lost of confidence during dire circumstances)
i'm still alive and full of life. =D
i'm still as high as a kite...(all natural, no preservatives added)

i started blogging about this time last year.. my first few posts were regarding the Tridum and Holy Thursday, and now my 'three-day long mass' has finally ended.. i'm probably litergurically wrong, but heck... honestly feels like a 3 day long mass from holy thursday all the way till the end of vigil. I love the vigil, i love the vigil songs and i LOVE singing easter songs. I pity my friends who will have to endure my easterness the entire of next week. It'll be all 'my lord he died for a kingdom/ to redeem the hearts of men/ so my people don't you weep he has risen from his sleep, he lives again' and 'now the greenblade rises from the buried gain' but heck to them... i only enjoy easter for a few more weeks. That's loads of really nice chocolate eggs to be eaten (:

I also realized how much i love my choir, yes i do. And i think they sang really well today and kenneth sizzled on the keys as usual. I think i sang pretty well today too, dispite lack of practice, or at least i hope i sang well. I know i hit a really nice E on the last song. XD Hopefully soon that'll be replaced with an F and then a G and an A... my range is still pretty messed up. oh well.

And i also love company and people. I wish people would love me more though, and just look beyond my random disposition and stony size and see the high harmless and soft kid inside who just wants to have lots of fun. David likes FUN and to LAUGH.

Bleah i still have 3 and a half hours to go before i get ready for Eight fifteen. I hope i can wake up.

And to everyone,
This is the night of new beginnings,
This is the night when Heaven meets Earth,
This is the night filled with God's Glory,
Promise of our new birth.

Christ be Our Light, shine in our hearts,
shine through the darkness,
christ be our light, shine in our church
gathered today...

I wait one year to sing that every year (:

God bless,

A hug a day keeps the nastiness away

yes it works. one hug. will more than one hug!
humans need physical contact, and the affectionate kind, i don't mean the 'i'm gonna rip out your eyeballs and stab in a bar fight' kind. Man was not created to live by himself on an island, it's possible and lonely. Touch is enough to send messages of love and affection to someone. I'm not even talking about couples holding hands or making out, i'm talking about friends sitting close to each other, their shoulders touching or something. It's just a little skin contact, but it says so much, trust, care, closeness, love, affection. These things are present in friendships too.

The Hug just accentuates all these things. You hug someone with outstretched arms, a sign of peace and welcome, you draw the person into close proximity, trust, and you hold them close, love and care and affection. Amazing how much feelings a simple action can do. This little epiphany dawned on me when shah hugged me, though we were both covered in mud and i've no idea when he wanted to get more mud on me, since there was too much already, yet, i felt uplifted, and happy for a few seconds since i was having a really bad day.

So i conclude that we should all get at least one hug a day, it'll do wonders to your face, it'll make you smile so much more.. and it's gotta be a real hug, or it doesn't count. Try it, get a hug a day from some whom you really love and who loves as much, like your mom or dad or siblings or grandparents and you'll start to find life so much better.

Though it makes me wonder why i was born with slightly heightened senses. I sensitive to color, to sounds around me, to taste, to smells and to touch. But it's super easy to fulfill the needs of each sense save for touch. Sure textures and stuff are nice, but nothing beats the warmness of someone else. It sucks to be single.. haha.

but nonsense aside, go get a hug! and give hugs! Real ones too.. Be generous with them, you never know, your hug could save a life.

lent is at an end

soon it'll be over,
but i don't feel i had a very good lent.
lent is a season of sacrifice, of discipline..
a time to take up responsibilities
a time to make good ourselves..
sorta like cleansing...
though i did discover so much about myself this lent...
i hope i'm a better person now..
i hope more that people realize it.

holy week is approaching.
"all that is hidden will be made clear"

people

team spirit

spectators

Just a face in the crowd

Having a whale of a time

A true evening with friends

Shh! it's a secret

Leading the blind

Our hearts, our hopes, our aims are one.

More Friends, More Laughter

Score 2!
