Xx Last Day of 2006 xX

Yeap. Today's the last day of 2006. There've been many good stuff and probably even more bad stuff that happened this year. Ha. Shan't make the "Best of" and "Worst of" list for this year. Too lazy to. And I'm getting a headache from spending too much time on the PSP.

Anyway, the mundane stuff... Wanted to change phone today, to the Nokia N80, but it was out of stock. Man... It's alright. No rush, I guess. Had a new pair of spectacles ordered as well. I was pretty surprised my myopic degree had decreased, considering how much time I spend staring at electronic monitors. Well, wouldn't make much of a difference. 750 to 675 degrees on the left eye. Still legally blind without corrective lenses. Hahaha. But that drop in myopic degree came with a "25 degree increase in astigmatism" price tag. Hahaha. Sounds like I'm bartering or some sort.

Anyway, joining Alvin and the others for the countdown at Marina Bay later on. Beats staying at home and "Appearing Offline" on Messenger to look like you have a bleeding life, which I suppose I very much have a bleeding one. Hmmm. Quite true, ain'it?

Oh yeah, had 2H gathering the past Wednesday. It was good speaking to people I haven't spoken to in a year or more. But of course, the repelling force was present as well. Meh. Whatever. Doubt anyone knew what the previous post meant. It'd be better to stay that way. If you are really smart and managed to figure it out, well then, keep it to yourself.

It's pretty sad to end this year of my life on a sour note, pretty much like having a C# in a C major scale. Hahaha. Bullcrapping, yet again. All right, it's like going to sleep with a mouth full of sour candy. Doesn't apply to you if you're a fan of those sick sour sweets(what an oxymoron). The only compensation I'm probably gonna have is the company of a few good friends approximately 23 hours later. Hahaha.

Anyway, it's the end of the 2006 chapter. What was your story like for this year? What's it gonna be like for 2007? Questions questions questions... Load of crap! Ahahahaha! I'm going mental, seriously.

See you next year (technically)! Au revoir!

P.S. I almost never fulfil any of my New Year resolutions. So there shan't be any for 2007! Meh.

P.P.S. I'm not a sheep.

The title says it all. This can't go on anymore. It's been a good time.

P.S. This is not a suicide note. Thank You for your attention.

P.P.S. You're not the only one who's had fireworks for dinner.

Xx MadTV is mad! =D xX

I can't believe I'm spamming this many YouTube Videos on my blog. Anyways, if only we had programs like this in Singapore, people would be a whole lot happier. Lol.

You can choose not to watch any of the other videos in this post, but you seriously must watch this one below. "Have you ever seen such a kickass video before?"

This parody is really awesome! MadTV's thoughts on the original "Beautiful" video by James Blunt. I dislike that song, by the way. Biasness. Ha. Must Watch! Yes, that's a woman. Ho.

Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous" MV Parody - Syphilis Girl

Sesame Streets' Big Bird is down with Bird Flu. Watch what happens to Elmo and Big Bird at the end! Hahaha!

Terminator parody. I warn you, this pokes fun at Christian faith. I am not anti-religious. I do not have any allegiance to any faith. Tethering on the edge of atheism-agnosticism. =/

MadTV forever! Cheers!

Xx Change: The Inevitable? xX

Alright. Common Tests have ended last Friday. Haven't been online much, mostly because I don't feel like it and my Final Fantasy XII calls out to me. Frankly, I don't know why people have really bad opinions on FFXII. Sure, it's been changed a lot. But change is something you have to adapt to, so quit whining, you bloody pussies.

Speaking of change, many people around me have changed a lot. They say Rome wasn't built overnight, but attitude adjustments don't seem to follow that "law". Ever since I talked to you that Tuesday, I don't seem to know you anymore. Frankly, I didn't want to go out with you guys that Sunday was partially because I was afraid (besides the fact that it was my Father's birthday).

Afraid of what? I don't have a clue either. It just seems like there's ice all around. It could be because of the lack of communication ever since we stopped Dota-ing. I'm sure most of you would've realized who I'm referring to by now. I guess I still need a little more time. I realize you've taken the first step to break the ice, but I guess I still need more time.

I was chatting with Harvard last Friday. We were talking about what we were going to do during the holidays when he asked "Your Clique lei? Disbanded already ah?" I replied with, "Partially disbanded, I guess."

Am I the one cut out? I guess so. I feel like the ground of common topic between us has been diminished. (Firstly, I wanna reinforce that "we" refers to the clique, not only 2 persons. Whereas "you" is a different thing.) Barely a year ago, we'd just walk up and down Orchard Road without a care in the world. Yes, I may not understand how you feel or your need to talk about it, but people have to move on. And I'm still trying. I know you don't ever read my blog, but if word ever gets to you, you'd know whats going on in my mind.

I don't know if what I'm doing is right, but I hope nobody reads this the wrong way. It's just a treasured friendship thing.

Anyway, I just got ill today. Nursing myself back to health. Hope I don't pass it to anyone tomorrow at the Sushi bar. Heh. My deepest apologies if I do. Lol.

Au revoir!

Breaking News

ExxonMobil wants to interview me first for attachement? With Weijie?! I'll be like utterly dwarfed, not in terms of size but in terms of quality. It's like small warlock see big warlock (literally translate to Mandarin). Hahahaha! Expect the worst. =/
P.S. Dr. Lim doesn't know how to spell my name. Sad.

Xx Introducing Mute Math xX

Found a pretty lesser-than-average known band called Mute Math. They have really really good songs. Quite an energetic bunch, like Muse are. Energy is really important in a performance, I guess. That's probably why I'm such nutters over Muse. Ha. Anyway, trust me on this. They're not as heavy as Muse are but still quite amazing. Whoever told you music has to be as heavy as lead is wrong. But pop music (i.e Britney Spears) and techno is just wrong, and still I stand by that. Hahahaha!

Anyway, here's Mute Math. Give it a listen, you won't regret it.

Mute Math - Chaos
[View Lyrics]

By the way, his keytar rocks. Yeap, KEYtar. Enjoy!

Xx Crunch Time! xX

It's crunch time... CTs are coming next week and I just started studying yesterday. Papers are from Monday to Friday, back-to-back. That really, really sucks! There's no study break as well, which totally kills everyone. Skipped a few lessons this week to create my own "Study Break period". Arhhh!! Really stressed!

Anyway, Thanks for those reassurances, people. I guess i still do have quite a good number of friends. =) Anyway, I really didn't expect Wagner to respond. Ahahaha! I'm surprised. =O

I should be studying right now, but I'm not. Why? I don't know either...

Anyway, bought my Muse ticket last Friday. Can't wait for January 16th! (Even though there's a lab test that morning...) Joseph's coming with me! Ahahaha! You better not mosh beside me, or I'll beat your head in. And you better wake up on time that day!!!! =D

Anyway, that's all for now. Mugging time! (After Dinner that is)
Till next time, Au Revoir!

Xx Losing Friends xX

How many friends have you lost? Where have the days of "crap-talking" been lost to?

Think about it. I have lost... everyone.

Edit: Thanks Elaine for hearing me out. =) I do hope life could return the way it was.

Xx Final Reminiscence xX

Just a few more thoughts to note down... Thunderstorms these few days had me in an urge to write this down.

It's the 2nd day you have left us. Emotions have somewhat settled. But when I think of you again, I just feel really upset.

Even though you only lived here for a mere two and a half years, You were like a treasure to us.

You were extremely afraid of thunderstorms. I could still remember you climbing onto my desk when I was studying for my O levels. O levels are held at the end of every year, so it was the time of a monsoon season. It made me really mad. I had to spend so much time trying to make you sit still for a single minute. If I had a chance to do that again, I would.

Thunderstorms at night. You would wake my entire family up with all your barking. You wanted to be let into the house where you could be near to people. Unfortunately (Then, that is), My parents and my brother had to work the following day, so I had to stay up to accompany you. 3, 4 ,5 am. We've been there. Yes, I wasn't very keen on staying up that late, but knowing that you relied on me, mostly, for comfort made it all worthwhile. Well, my Mum accompanied you sometimes instead. Heh.

My final thought is that I'm glad I taught you how to "Shake Hands". You even knew which was "left" or "right hand" for a moment (till eventually I was too lazy to continue asking. =X). We'd always make you shake "hand" for food. When we made you wait too long for food, you'd start to drool. You greedy little dog! Ahahaha! I simply love those moments.

Well then, now that you're gone, you're never gonna have a chance to taste them again. To think that we had just bought new snacks less than a week before your passing. I'm gonna stop here now, tears are gonna well in my eyes. If I've missed noting down anything else, I'm sure it's gonna be in the back of my head.

Rest In Peace, Oreo. I'll miss you.

Your food bowl and water dish; The toys that you played with.

The food that you'd go crazy over. Some were never opened.
