greetings from tron-toe. the flight here was torture manz, 7 hrs on a nice plane with personal inflight entertainment, followed by 13 hrs of not so nice plane, no personal screen, one big big one in front which really sucks, and 13 hrs is no joke, esp its screwed up my whole system cos we flew thru nite then suddenly it became day again.. very weird.. and lastly 2 hrs on a saab plane, ok i don't even know saab makes planes lar.. anyway, its those where u can see the propellor kind.. taking that plane reminds me of taking a bus on a hot day.. sigh..
kz, anyway reached the apartment and was totally shocked.. its like super nice lar, its a condo, so upstairs got pool, downstairs got gym.. jus dunno if i will haf the will power to actually work out.. bahh.. went down the campus and downtown today, its super nice.. plus met up with orty.. so great to see a familiar face in a foreign land..

soon soon
ok so im supposed to update you guys on my ippt results. well i only manage a pass, so that means 100 bucks to me. yeah, and you really need to train for ippt manz, i have just realised that not training makes u feel like shit during and after the test. my pull ups was the one that disappointed me, cos i only did a measley 6, and of cos 2.4 lar.. 11 mins 43 secs is not really a time to be proud of, unless u are yuen (muahahaha sorry doode, low blow). yupps but i would like to hao lian about my broad jump... 243!! and i would really say that was quite a shocker, at that time i just felt very light (irony aint it??) and i landed there.. but then again it might be tyco lar.. so don't care, pass means pass, so that's one more year cleared.
yupps after my test i went back to hall to chill out with my clan ppl. we had quite a lot of fun just talking cock and drinking. haiz, i think i will miss hall life for this one year manz (although i'll prolly also enjoy apartment living life but its just different). somehow i always feel like im around family whenever im with my clan ppl.. well i'd prolly be branded gay for this.. by k'ppl, u guys rocks! (i dunno who will be reading this lar.. but.. watever)
kz.. then friday i had a good time chillin at clarke quay area.. as u can see from the picture below.. 
nice...
kz.. now i've finished packing more or less, just some nitty gritty to get tmr.. and then im ready to go.. just wished i could pack some ppl off to toronto with me too.. bleah..

two hours away
from my dreaded ippt.. my arms are aching abit, from the push ups and dips i did 2 days ago, don't know if it'll affect my pull ups later. i really hope to pass this shite, cos i don't like to fail it.. of coz the bonus will be to get a silver lar, cos got more money.. but im not very confident.. oh well, lets just hope there'll be alot of ah peks there so that i won't look so unfit. now not in hall ready, less motivation to train.. last time still got training khakis which are really crazy ppl who like to increase the distance everytime we run.. but it was a fun time... haiz.. will miss that life for 1 year..
okays, going to do my pre game prep now which involves taking a big shit, drinking water, and staring out of the window ... will update you of the outcome tonight!

random musings
i have had at least 4 months of holidays, okay not to make the rest of you who start school ready envious (okay maybe it is to make u all a little bit envious, cept for mark... shut it!). im beginning to realise i don't think i'll be able to adapt back to the school routine manz, furthermore i'll be in a foreign land where the professors prolly speak with a thick accent and alot of 'aaa's.
oh there was ice cream sale round 2 recently and my freezer is stocked with more boxes of ice cream again! i really shud just take them go downstairs and sell to the kids to earn some pocket money manz. if i sell one at 50 cents profit.. 10 would earn me 5 bucks, and 100 would earn me 50! *floats idea in head*
hua hui is leaving tmr for california, i think we are going to miss him quite abit, one less dota khaki.. but not so bad cos we'll prolly link up over there..
ian called me just now.. was quite surprised! yeah nice to recieve a call from an old bud to enquire whether im all set to go.. and of cos to ask if i could help him bring some stuff over lar kekeke. wah but the phone call is quite laggy, so if i call any of you next time, prepare for some lag.. but then again, why would i call any of you?? the key word here is mike sierra november...
went jogging today.. the weather was quite good.. very cooling, plus i saw one cute girl sitting at the bus stop opposite uwc.. ok she's not really cute, but chio.. really!! bahhh but she din look in my direction.. prolly doesnt like fat man in red bull singlets...

apple martinis and stoopid shows
was at morton's bar yesterday with the bum, the green gas and auntie ang-gee. i must say i really enjoy the apple martinis, which cost like 7.50 during happy hour. and then there's like free steak sandwiches which are eat ready will cry kind (cept for the cow backside one that me and yuen got.. arghh freaking small slab lar..)
then i dunno why yuen was so gian to watch a movie. and then we went to marina to see the movie listings.. the only show available which was able to start was land of the dead. ok here's the thing, yuen and i have a thing of not watching errr what we would call scary or known to be scary movies (except scary movie 1,2,3 themselves lar!!).. so i dont know why he agreed to watch that stoopid show lar!! it feels juz like resident evil.. damn jiat lat.. and alot of shock tatics which i don't like. but the zombies are quite cute lar.. but overall.. sucky show.. haiz..
aniwei went jogging today and yesterday ... my thighs are aching!! but all for the sake of ippt silver!!

U o T bound
it just dawned on me that i'll be leaving for toronto in about 2 weeks time. everybody has been asking when im leaving and im like 29th august, but it really din sink into me that it'll be in 2 weeks.. until now. well ppl asked if im looking forward to it, my reply was that im actually just numb lar, i mean its been so long, have settled so many things and only now im going.. prolly the wait just killed the excitement.
anyway, im starting to think about the ppl i'll be missing when im gone, the sudden rush of 'there's so many ppl i havent met yet!!' emotions. haiz.. i hope i'll do alrite there..
i'll say my goodbyes personally on this page soon... stay tuned...
now reading: kimchi soup for the yuen/ian/napkin man soul.. (muahahhaa)

technology sucks
i remembered singing praises bout the G5 with final cut pro not too long ago.. well i totally take that back now, it sucks!! cos it keeps crashing at the most crucial point!! arrgghhh so frustrated... anyway we finished editing proper at 8pm.. so i thought exporting to a normal movie format, how long can that take right?? apparently 3 freaking hours cos it keeps saying not enuff space on the scratch disk.. i mean wtf is that?!!! then in exasperation, yiffy went to delete all the vid files while contained like the bits and pieces required to export the proper movie, and then hong kan chao ren.. but not her fault lar, cos i instigated her to delete them.. hehe , just not my fingers that were doing it that's all.... but anyway thankfully we have one version (i really dunno in what format manz, its jus uber huge 2.2GB that can be played with quicktime.. but its not a .mov, so errr i dunno how ppl are going to circulate it lar in hall lar, yiffy will try to compress it into a circulatable copy...)
haiz.. so after hrs of frustration, we gave up and decided to pack up. so i can more or less conclude that i am done with video editing!! now i know how its like to be a cs student, and i must say its not fun at all!! stuck in a room which is freaking cold, trying to wrestle with technology.. thankfully there was this other girl there today doing her project whom yiffy knows, and it made it seem more 'happening' lar... haiz no more video related stuff for me for the next 3 months man...
well lastly would just like to thank yiffy for helping me with this stoopid video amidst her busy (really she's working and studying while im just having holi-holi-holidays...). schedule, really appreciated it.. next time treat you to can A fine dining... muahhahaha got japanese, got western, got indian, got malay.. multi cultural sia..
kz.. hope the video plays properly during dnd.. 2.2 GB??!!! WTF?!!

macham vip*updated*
mmm last nite went to zouk to watch the turtle rap. well there is something i must absolutely boast about.. well see, so we reached zouk and there was a freakin long queue lar.. then we decided to queue for abit. after awhile i just got pissed (cos the ppl lining up were going on the invites lar), since i was thinking if im on the guest list i shouldnt be subjected to this kind of treatment rite. picked up the fone and called the turtle, and he said, just walk right in and tell the ppl we're on the guest list. so i did.. and the bouncers even had to stop ppl from going in to let us in first.. wow.. really first time.. ok sorry, its just first time i feel like a celebrity so i must hao lian abit.. and now its outta of the system
oh year forgot to mention the dj competition itself. so there was this kid, he's only 16 of age lar, but he is awesome lar!! eventually he won 3rd place, and rightly so.. actually i think he should be 2nd cos koflow just looks damn arrogant, which i don't really like. yupps, but i mean 16 years old!! he has so many years ahead of him to really drop some serious shite... 16 years old, that's like lil angel's age.. mmm go do something bout it rach!!
hmmm btw happy national day everybody!! not sure if it means that much to you guys.. but im always very excited to watch the parade (and see if the parade commander will screw up.. then hanta ka ki hee hee) yupps this year one i heard quite good, cos the mobile column will be going to the heartlands, and its passing my estate!! sigh but i wont get to see it..

willy wanker
oops! i mean wonker.. mmm yups i caught charlie and the choco factory today. i think its quite a cool show, i don't remember if i read the book, but i hope lovers of the book don't find that the movie ruining it as most movies do to books (think teenage textbook). well at least the saving grace is johnny depp.. okay im not gay, but i think he is just fantastic lar... sooo here's telling everybody to go watch it!!
hung around hmv before the show, i previewed the lost in translation ost, i think its really nice, but then it costs 43 bucks!!! wat the hell?!! anybody out there has sources that are cheaper?? well in the end i was deciding whether to buy a cd, and if so which one.. so i walked around some more, quite aimless actually.. listened to my chemical romance, good charlotte, the bravery.. then i saw it (i remembered watching the mtv yesterday nite, so i went to listen).. the tears. okay forgive me if i don't know my music trivia, but when i first heard the song (lovers), i felt that it is damn suede lar, so i wondered if like the singer of the tears is actually brett anderson.. and true enuff it is lar.. no wonder the whole album sounds like the suede album (you know the one with the beautiful ones?yupps but i like it!!) anyway i bought the album in the end.. muahaha.. i like
i've never like bus 14 more...

apple apple olenge ga le ka
editing the hall orientation videos today. okay not so much of me editing but me calling the shots while yiffy was doing all the cs'sy stuffs like capturing and fiddling around with final cut pro. i just look like a dumb ass demanding the right effects whereas poor ol her has to crank her 486 processor to remember how to use final cut pro. muahhaa, but it was fun, esp seeing the video footages of the camp, reminds me of tough but good times not so long ago.
oh did i mentioned we were working on the G5?? omg, its soooo awesome!!! makes me want a mac even more now!! hai hai... but then it'll never be useful for me, at least not as this point, i'll just be contented with my ipod and look like a wannabe mac user.
juz realised pool/snooker is a game full of phallic conatations. things like sandpapering the shaft and shaping the tips.. my goodness... u'll never see me sandpapering my shaft.. muahahhaa k k that was juz some random statement i promised to post.. kekeke
got a damn scare just now, was looking for my deep dish and nick warren cd, looked high and low, left and right, front and back.. deep and shallow, black and white, dark and light... errr nvm yar but cant find.. in the end, my bro took it and its in the car.. bahhh (muahaha anti climax)

rain + shine = sick
weather has been quite shitty of late, it's always super hot.. then after that it'll rain.. then it'll be hot again.. and then rain again.. getting sick from it all. down with a throat infection and fever (38.2!!!! i would haf been quarantined if it was the sars period). blardy medication cost me 48 bucks, cos doc gave me the power antibiotics.. he still had the cheek to ask me how come everybody down with the same thing, he said it was in fashion (wtf??!!).
yeah and i hate it when parents attribute sickness to staying up late, not drinking water and blah blah blah.. its just super irritating, i mean staying up late is one thing, but its not as if i don't get enuff sleep rite?? i mean i stay up late but i oso sleep in what.. grrr plus when im down sick they'll nag nag when i say im going out (its for a meeting!! not that i wanna go!!) grrr grrrr
and being sick is not good at this point in time, not when u need to meet up and spend time with ppl just before you leave.. sigh... plus i cant eat my pork knuckles

what money cant buy
met up with xt and juls (class rep) just now. its always a joy hanging out with them, esp teng, cos we can talk nonsense for hours. anyway as we were going back, our conversation tended to the ra side. i don't really remember wat led up to it, but the main question was: would u rather be very rich with no dick or be poor but haf your dick??
our main conclusion is that.. we would still want our gun cos u cant buy sex even if u had lots of money and no dick.. haha.. well i guess without it, we'll never be the man we use to be (muahah pun intended).. but which leads me to ponder a very impt question: is sex really that important??
i want to eat pork knuckles...

reading this book by john eldredge titled wild at heart... courtesy of brian, i am only on page 15 but already its just so inspiring.. here's a line outta it: in the heart of every man is a desperate desire for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.
you're beautiful, you're beautiful,
i saw ur face in a crowded place
and i don't know what to do
