My life. My thoughts.

2006-12-17T16:58:00.000+08:00

I have moved.

2006-06-25T13:11:00.000+08:00

The alignment was kinda screwed up the last time so I re-did the entire entry and added MORE photos! There are many funny shots from Hweech's 23rd birthday last night. That was funny.

WARNING: MAJOR (57!!) PHOTO UPDATE

Haven't played with this in forever!

Haha the different things we put in our mouth!

With my new colleague Lorraine at KTV!

At Esplanade with TP folks!

He's such a model!!!

One of my favourite shots!

Erm.. it's supposed to be surfboard wax.

Jolin VS Rainie. Fann VS Zoe. When will the competition end? Sigh.

A VERY happy Birthday Girl

Amongst her many presents was this AFRO WIG! Now now, who wore it best?

Forgot to snap a shot of Chrissy in it! Damn.

The two besties that have known each other for like 8 or 9 years (Yes, they're both THAT old) decided to spoof the latest May and Choy shampoo ad. You know the one where they both dyed their hair red and one didn't use the shampoo that's meant for dyed hair?

A new layout is on its way, just let me sort out some HTML shit (CAN SOMEBODY VOLUNTEER?) and I'll be back with a spanking new loooook! :D Have a great week ahead, guys!

2006-06-18T17:13:00.000+08:00

I know I know, it's been ages since I updated.

And I have MANY photos to share. But I don't have the time to blog or upload them.

Be patient. I promise they'll be up real soon.

2006-06-05T15:07:00.000+08:00

To the bestie that's all the way in the Land of High Leg Warmers and Plucked Eyebrows.

I miss you already. Though not as much as Baby. Heh.

2006-05-26T13:46:00.000+08:00

I compiled all the tees that I want to get.

2006-05-25T19:30:00.000+08:00

This song was recommended by Hweech, taken off the Prime OST (love that movie!) It really is an awesome number, go listen to it!!

Rachel Yamagata- I Wish You Love

I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy gladeI wish you health
But more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agreeThat you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you love
I wish you love, love, love, love, love
I wish you love

Golden Rules for a Clown/Best Friend

1) Always make that someone laugh.
2) Always be the shoulder for that someone to cry on.
3) Never cry.
4) Always be the fool.
5) Never feel sad that you don't get anything.

2006-05-18T23:38:00.000+08:00

Have I mentioned I LOVE this phone yet? How cool is it? Dolce & Gabbana collaborated with Motorola to produce this GOLD Razr. No more Razr V3i, I like THIS one. Heh. (Have I mentioned how I always get things I want? Material goods, that is.)

I've been working real late this whole week, gearing up for Group Agency meeting on Monday. Sigh!! Endless meetings, endless things to do. But, I really enjoy this.

Major photo update coming sooooon!

2006-05-12T14:50:00.000+08:00

This is so damn cool, I'm posting my first entry using my brand new Fujitsu Lifebook. Yes, I'm no longer a Mac user. (Not that I'm complaining. Finally can use all programs)

Isn't it pretty?? I have my Mom to thank for it.

Ok, enough bragging. It's Vesak Day, finally a public holiday where I can stay at home and just CHILL. Have some work to clear but that can wait till tomorrow or Sunday. I'm quite irritated that I can't seem to transfer my mails over from the Powerbook to this Lifebook. No emails, HOW TO DO MY WORK? Sigh.

Updates, updates. Clever Jon knocked into the wall while walking in his sleepy state in the middle of the night and got his permanent tooth shaky. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. After a visit to the dentist, I feel slightly better knowing that I don't need to extract it but I cannot eat hard food for a month. He put on this stabiliser which is kinda like cement behind my tooth to keep it firm.

TEC has printed namecards for me, something I thought was pretty cool. Haha, oh MTV Asia Awards was AWESOME. It was really really cool, working with so many stars, getting up close and personal with them, chatting and drinking with them. At the end of the day, Fame really is such a weird thing. For example, when I listen to Daniel Powter's Bad Day now, it doesn't feel the same as it did anymore. I mean, this is the song that I used to listen to daily but there I was, chatting and drinking with the man himself.

Very very weird. The industry is VERY VERY fake. Had more than enough of that. Some stars were disgusting, diva-ish, rude and slutty. Most were really nice like Taufik, Daniel Powter, Lee Ryan, Simon Webbe, Utt, Jolin Tsai, Korn, Vanness Wu, Se7en, Rivermaya and many more lah. Don't wanna blog about the negative ones.

So, I owe you guys a major photo update. Here you go, as promised.

Don't know about you but I find this type of shots VERY annoying.

Jon's Fashion Advice: How to jazz up a plain outfit

1. Steal your sister's beads and pull them off as a funky headband! Ecstatic facial expression is optional.

2. Take one of Mom's glam beaded necklace and contrast it with one of your dull-coloured tees! Funky option!

I love this picture.

At The Balcony with some of my colleagues

2006-05-01T20:16:00.000+08:00

So, I'm nearly done packing my luggage for a week in Bangkok, leaving on the first flight out tomorrow morning. Gotta pack all my MTV stuff, floor plans, layouts, manpower list blah blah blah.

Quite a lot of shit to bring for a week! Hmmm hope to squeeze in some time to SHOP!

Anyways I bought Pretty Woman & Prime last night. After watching Pretty Woman, it's just made me DAMN depressed man. Sigh I love watching romantic comedies but they always leave me with this bittersweet feeling. Hmmm am I the only one?

Still haven't had time to update all my photos, shall do so after MTV Asia Awards ok? Promise to take some photos of your fave celebrities lah.

Went to work today and had to attend this Vespa show, very very interesting. Some of the Vespas are reallly very nice! Ok, gonna go off now.

Take care you guys!

2006-04-29T15:01:00.000+08:00

It's now become a routine for me to blog while I'm working during the weekends. Just goes to show how much of a life I have. I'm sorry for the lack of updates and photos. I promise a major major photo update is coming up. I just don't have the time right now. Been working this whole week, and this is like, the 4th consecutive weekend that I'm in the office working?

Hmmm will be gone the whole of next week, flying up to Bangkok for MTV Asia Awards. Was kinda excited about it but looking at our schedule now, we touch down on Tuesday morning, it's meetings after meetings, walk throughs after walk throughs, HOW TO SHOP?!

Hahaha.. Work is killing me. But life is good. Cause I ordered my spanking new Fujitsu laptop. Yup, no more annoying Mac shit. Fujitsu has always been my dream, can't wait for that to materialise! Will only be back the following following TUesday.

See you all then!

2006-04-23T21:00:00.000+08:00

I'm still in the office on a Sunday evening, 9pm no less.

SIGH- what kinda life am I leading?!

PS: Promise to load photos real soooooooon.

2006-04-20T20:03:00.000+08:00

My event finally ended on Tuesday. After teardown that night and the following day, I was really really exhausted. Feels like 10 years has been shaved off my lifespan.

Hmmm got 2 more projects today. Sigh, a lil too quick, don't you think? I'm exhausted and up to my neck with work AND not feeling too good.

Emotionally, that is. Haha I'm proud to announce that the depression days are BACK!

2006-04-15T09:34:00.000+08:00

All alone in the office on a Saturday after Good Friday. What's it called anyway? Better Saturday? Ok never mind. Trying not to stay too late today because there's setup tomorrow and I'll be really busy for the next few days.

Anyway, had fun last night. Picked James and Leonard in a cab and went over to Leonard's place to pick up his car. Drove down to Katong area for supper and then Stadium Macs for ice cream! Had fun laughing at their superior whom James cannot stop imitating, have some pictures to upload later.

I can't really remember what else I've been doing the past few days apart from working.. Goodness me.

2006-04-14T16:39:00.000+08:00

So, I'm in the office on a public holiday. My event is on Tuesday and I will be working for the rest of the weekend. Yup, that's Fri, Sat and Sunday for you. Not to mention, setup begins on Sunday.

CONSTRUCTION SITE! Sigh I'll be fine, I know it.

On a happier note, Mom is gonna buy me a Fujitsu Lifebook cause my iBook is spoilt and Apple wants to charge an exorbitant $1,300 for repair. I'm really excited about my new laptop cause I badly need one that allows me to do my work. iBook is so screwed up, forever screwing up my alignment and blah blah blah. Bad iBook.

Secondly, MY COMPANY IS FLYING ME UP TO BANGKOK FOR MTV ASIA AWARDS. Whoo. Sure, I've attended it during all 3 years when it was in Singapore, but to fly to Bangkok to attend it AND to work for it?! That's coolness personified.

Thirdly, MY COMPANY IS PRINTING NAMECARDS FOR ME. Hahaha.

I'm a happy boy despite overworking.

2006-04-08T10:19:00.000+08:00

In the office on a Saturday morning. 'nuff said.

I'm prepared to slog like this for the next 7 months, I've already been doing so for the past month. I knew I was in for it when I requested to start SIP 1 month before and end 1 month later than everyone else. After Cathay, my project is in less than 2 weeks time. Time is running out. So many things left unsettled. Bitchy colleague. Boss overseeing everything.

Hang in there Jon. You can do it.

2006-04-03T00:25:00.000+08:00

I had fun today! Me in my Special Edition NUM Tee: Brokeback Mountain series

Met Morr and shopped in town before heading to Holland V. At the cabstand waiting for a cab.

Shopping time! Very nice vintage tees @ Very affordable prices! I bought 4 pcs!

Dinner at MY fave haunt with Andrea and Morr! BAH KUT TEH IS ORGASMIC.

I just had to put this.

Last but not least,
VERSUS

2006-04-02T01:18:00.000+08:00

Grand opening of The Cathay that fell right smack on my birthday. Full week of preparation, very very little sleep and it really tested my limits. Was given an excellent opportunity to shine and I'm glad I did my best (: Learnt a lot.

The gang surprised me with a cake they baked from scratch slightly before midnight of 23rd. Very very sweet. I was so touched but had to rush off cause of rehearsals. Sorry guys! But really, thanks for such an amazing birthday esp to the 4 bakers, MAY ANN BEL HUIMIN EME. My colleagues surprised me with an ice cream cake after the event too, that was sweeeeeet too!

Isn't he the cutest? (Disclaimer: He posed HIMSELF. I did not teach him at all. He already has the makings of a photowhore)

Almost all the cousins @ my brother/my birthday celebration

Doesn't he have the NICEST smile?

Met the best friend last Sunday for Failure to Launch and a quick dinner before sending her back. The two leads lacked chemistry and I thought it could have been better but me being me, the sucker for Rom-Coms still liked it. (Note to self: Spend more time with Ling before she goes to UK! Sigh!)

Met James and Andrea at ECP after that for supper and chit chat, always enjoy nights at ECP. Never fail to remind me of the time I was there with Hweech. Hurhur.

Huimin, my soulmate. HURHUR. I told her I would post a picture of her eating like a pig. Thanks for dinner!!! :D:D:D

Caught The Hills Have Eyes with Andrea and Leonard at the Grand Cathay. Finally could go there as a consumer and not staff. Very nice place. Perfect cinema to go to now while it is still pretty quiet. The seats were really nice! I like (:

KTV will always be a joy with peeps like you guys! Miss youuuuuuuu so much.

Plastics gathering @ CoffeeClub/TheBalcony. I miss you bitches! We have to get together more often, just drinking and bitching abt everything under the sun! Woot to gay ass cracks and beauty queens!

Supper with Morr was all we could afford this week but I'll make do for now cause I love this shit. Remember what I told you, at the end of the day, you have my support.

WAiting for James to finish trying on his 214984612th piece of clothing.

In pain after putting salt on her ulcer. Coming from the lady who insists an ulcer is WORST than getting a tattoo.

Leonard joined us for the movie, Fragile. Surprisingly, it was prettttttty scary! As usual, Leo & Andrea were hopeless.. HAHAHA

Silly posters you can find all over town about JAMES.

Yours Truly

Ok, officially my most fucking longest entry here with SO many photos. Don't owe you guys anymore photos so ENJOY them and stop complaining about how slow i am! Need to go sleeeeeeeeeeeep soon! Damn busy from Monday, sigh so many office politics.....

2006-03-28T23:16:00.000+08:00

Major photo update!

The ultimate accessory. With its rightful owner. THANKS JAMES LEO & HUIMIN!

A prettttttty card from Eme and James

All in all, I truly had the BEST birthday ever. Thank you to all my family and friends who made it SO special. I have more photos in my digicam that I haven't had the time to upload. Some Cathay pics and Bday Celebration with the family. And also pics from Plastics Gathering + KTV with Dy & Hweech. So many activities, so little time!!

I love my life right now, really really blessed.

2006-03-20T08:23:00.000+08:00

Woke up this morning with a big fat smile, despite having to reach office by 7.30am. This has been, undoubtedly, the BEST weekend ever. And, I have a few people to thank personally for that.

Let's do it chronologically.

Friday (17/3/06)
Andrea got me a pass for Cleo's Bachelor's Party @ MOS. Was my first time there, have heard so much abt the place but never got a chance to go down because of the stupid queue. The place is pretty nice, didn't get to check out the themed rooms because I had to leave early for Cathay. The bachelor's party was alright, it got a lil draggy towards the middle because I thought there were too many of them. Cleo should consider shaving the number down to like, 30? Or maybe even 20.

Sat (18/3/06)
Andrea insisted I had to meet her by 2pm and I was really suspicious. When I finally met her, she passed me my birthday gift and I understood why! She bought tickets to Army Daze the play!! I was so surprised and that wasn't all. Her birthday gift truly kicks ass. It was immensely sweet and thoughtful. There was this LOVELY photoframe where she placed our (photoshopped) photos and I love it so much. Very very nice, definitely going up on my bedroom wall. Then, there was a box where she kept all the other gifts. FCUK Polo Tee, I really dig the colour. Kiehl's Moisturiser and Lip Balm (My savior!) Scrapbook which had a lot of photos and nice comments inside, all the places that mean something to us. I teared when I read one page about Esplanade's rooftop terrace, shall not write the details here but it was reallllllllly touching. An (overpriced) necklace. Army Daze was hilarious, very very entertaining. The only bumper was that I bumped into Dunman High at the drama centre because they were also there for the play.

Met the rest of supper gang at night for dinner. Eme & James MADE me this big ass card that I love, SO FUCKING nice. Another one that is going up on my bedroom wall. Leo, Huimin & James got me a lava lamp and I thought that was it but hang on for that.

Dinner was delicious, I've not had Indian food in awhile so that was nice. Wanted to watch Failure to Launch but it was sold out so we caught Dorm and I must say it goes right up there with Domino as one of the worst movies I've ever paid money to watch.

Sun (19/3/06)
I woke up late so I couldn't keep to my promise of going to church with James but I went to my own church with my mom and brother. Met Ah Morr for lunch and THIS IS WHEN THE FUN BEGINS.

She gave me an envelope which had my first clue. I had to head to Starbucks to collect a drink and my next clue which led me to the glasshouse. Alicia, Ade and Deon were there to pass me my next clue after I did my forfeit which was a really funny SA joke. The next clue brought me to Moo's place where Jeanne and her made me do the Macarena. This is when things kinda got screwed up. I was supposed to go to Dunman High but somehow, the clues got mixed up so I was told to go to Simpang. Bumped into James and Andrea there and we found out about the mixup so I was sent to Dunman. Oh, did I mention I had to travel by public transport everywhere? WTH. Haha was SO surprised to see the entire Dunman clan. Porky, Yucks, Szehui, Amelia, Meimei, Ling, Qing, Yongsheng & Yiu Tak! Had to sing 'Wannabe' before I got my clue which led all of us back home. When I got back, they all came out to surprise me. James, Leo, Andrea, the Dunman gang, SA people AND THE 2 KIDS. Emmanuel & Mikey.

That's when I found out that my parents were part of the plan as well. Cut my cake and took lots of photos with everyone. I had such a fucking great time yesterday and the surprise was realllllllly beyond my imagination. Kudos to Ah Morr for that, I heard she was the chief planner. This has been a really special birthday and it was SO nice to see all the people I love under one roof, gathering together for ME.

So very happy (: Will post the photos later.

Morr- Bitch, thank you so much. Like I said, this gives you bragging rights for the next 10 years. This party beats the surprise party I planned for you hands down. I'm really impressed at how you managed to pull it off with so many people involved, the game and gift you made was amazing. Very very "Elizabethtown". I love you so much, I never wanna call it quits with you. Thank you once again.

Andrea- We've come a long way now. From leaving no impression whatsoever till today. Besties. There's nothing I can't tell you and nothing we can't do together. Of the 3 most important girls in my life, you are most similar to me. We are superficial (HAHA) and spoilt rotten. And, that's why I love you! Cause at the end of the day, you make all my wrongdoings seem so acceptable. Thank you for the lovely gift, not just about the cost but for how thoughtful they were.

Ling- THE BEST FRIEND. Where is my present? Haha. You've been there every step of the way, you taught me how to love, we shared so many special "first-times" together and for that, you are indispensible. Nobody can EVER replace you in my heart and the love we share goes WAYYYYYYY back. It was great to have you at the party, because no birthday party of mine could be complete without you being part of it. Here's to 7 great years of friendship and 77 more to come! (Man, we're old.)

James- Everybody knows that in my world, 99% of my friends population are girls. Thank you so much for all that you have done, I LOVE BOTH THE LAVA LAMP AND THE ED HARDY CAP. Yes, you bugger. The cap is SO expensive, really din expect you guys to buy it for me. Did you know the USB cable isn't extra actually? I stole it from my brother for you. Heh. I'm glad we got so much closer this semester, sorry for making you do J2 last time, HAHAHHAA. Your selflessness truly inspires me and I only want the best in life for you. Cause nobody else deserves it as much as you do. I look forward to the many suppers + drives! I love you bro!

Leo- Never would have thought we could be this close. To me, you were always the "guy-guy" sorta person so I thought we could never click. Thank god you were in my class this sem and thank god, we were in the same proj groups. I've seen you cry, laugh, get pissed off ("Can you just shut the fuck up!") but I still love you. You're an amazing guy who stands up for his friends, takes great care of all the people around him and genuinely wants to help everyone. You often go out of your way to help people and that is what makes you and James the best people around I know. I hope you will find happiness soon but until then, you can spend time with me (: Love ya!!!

OMG, I still have so many people to thank. I will do the remaining individual shoutouts together with the major photo update later alright... Thank you to all that made it such a special weekend again.

2006-03-17T08:34:00.000+08:00

Busy busy busy.

Work's pretty bad these past few days and I can only imagine it getting worst in the weeks to come. I haven't had time to resize all the photos I've been taking so, sorry guys! Be patient..

Desperately in need of quality sleep man...

2006-03-15T19:13:00.000+08:00

Today's the worst day of work ever since I started 3 weeks back.

Everything that could go wrong, went wrong.

Boss had a very serious talk with me.

Really tired.

Lazy to update.

2006-03-14T22:23:00.000+08:00

This is damn funny.

I excitedly plugged on my digicam to upload photos onto Friendster and Blogger. After uploading all 130 of them, I deleted them from my camera to clear space. When I tried uploading them to Friendster and Blogger, I had the hardest time.

Then I realised, each photo is like 2.7MB in size. WTF?! Isn't that DAMN big? (I may be an IT Moron but I still know that)

So, oh well, can't upload them, must change the settings in my camera..

2006-03-11T00:57:00.000+08:00

I'm incorrigible.

Undoubtedly Shopping King. I spent $1.1K at the IT Fair on a new digicam and iPod Video.

I feel so guilty and bad. And so blessed.

2006-03-09T10:49:00.000+08:00

Now that my iBook is down, I'm going to send it for diagnosis (that's gonna cost $100) and see what's wrong with it, if the problem is massive, Mom says we should get a new notebook.

And, this time, I don't know if I still want a Mac. It's far too troublesome, simple stuff like TAGGING MY OWN TAGBOARD. Can't fucking do it on this mac. No idea why. Now that I'm working, it gets troublesome too, Powerpoint always gets screwed up, my email is damn hard to navigate.

ARGH. On a sidenote, have I mentioned that I spent the 500 bucks meant for my new iPod. Sigh, my mom is gonna MURDER me. Not funny.

Oohh My birthday is coming (: And yes, Jeanne, I will upload photos from my phone IF Mac actually allowed it. (Doesn't support the software) And I'm still waiting for people like EMELIA HUIMIN LEONARD ANDREA to send me photos.

Goood lord. BACK TO MORE WORK.

2006-03-03T23:30:00.000+08:00

I was at the Apple store earlier, trying to repair my iPod. Guess how much they want to charge??

500 bucks.

W-T-F.

I might as well get a new one. (I spent half of the money my mom gave me to get a new iPod. Fuck.)

Gone!

2006-03-02T10:27:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was A Levels Results Day and I'm proud to announce that my besties like Morr and Ling did very well! Super duper proud of them. Morr was the worst lah, insisting she won't even get a single A and ended up with like, 2 As?!

For those who did not do well, don't give up and don't dwell on it. Like I always say, I honestly believe that everything happens for a reason. The reason might be unknown to you now but really, something better just might be on the way. Don't despair, don't doubt yourself. Life still goes on.

On another note, I'm really tired and work is beginning to pile up. On one hand, I'm damn excited and on the other, I'm so jaded. But, I'm thankful.

I just realised I lost all my lanyards and namecards from all the previous events I've ever done. Since 2004. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

Stranger in a Familiar Land

2006-02-28T14:47:00.000+08:00

I'm extremely sorry for the lack of updates but it's been endless project deadlines, mugging for exams and I'm back at work almost immediately after the last paper.

Yes, I'll be working for the next 8 months, starting 1 month earlier AND ending 1 month later than the stipulated SIP duration. Still trying to get used to waking up for work in the morning, can be quite a drag especially since my body clock's quite screwed up from all the late night suppers. Oh well, I'm looking forward to work. Have 2 projects at hand, only complain is that Cathay falls right smack on my birthday! Goodbye to the celebrations.

Speaking of which, there are so many things I really wanna buy right now. Just gotta wait for birthday and payday. Alrighty gotta go back to work now.. take care you all!

Of money and woes.

2006-01-07T21:11:00.000+08:00

It's just a few more days before my house is finally complete and I can move back home! Really am looking forward to that, pretty much decided on the kinda furniture I need, just gotta place my order with Ikea real soon.

Getting a lil worried abt school, seems like my grades are really slipping. Got FUCKING 'F' for CCC test and only Bs for the Radio Trivia and Trailer. Damn sian. Oh, apparently, I have a high chance of failing SingleCam and Multimedia too. Yay, that's just what I need right now man.

So many freaking assignments due, can't afford to slack cause every assignment counts.

Been shopping quite a bit, gotta watch the money already. Damn jialat, can u believe I blew $104 at M.A.C today? HAHA and all I got was a foundation, bronzer and concealer! All in the name of broadcast, heh.

Went out with an old friend today, as I was listening to her story, quite a lot of stuff rushed back to my head. Oh well, just gotta keep them in check...

The Day I......

2005-12-30T18:19:00.000+08:00

Today is the day I lost my iPod.

The one I bought with my 1st paycheque.

The one that accompanies me whenever I'm on the move.

Whichever fucker who stole it, you better be careful.

Yay the perfect way to end off the year, 2005.

Chaos.

2005-12-12T00:27:00.000+08:00

Everything is rather chaotic now.

1) We are STILL in the midst of packing. And the contractors are coming in tomorrow.

2) I'm fine-tuning my emcee script now. And the wedding is in 19 hours.

3) I feel feverish. And stupid dust is making me sneeze nonstop.

To you: I feel it, but for the first time ever, I'm not sure if I'm capable of translating it into words.**

Friends

2005-12-08T01:53:00.000+08:00

Finally, the event is over. This must be one of the more tiring events in the sense that almost everything that could go wrong went wrong. I'm glad that I was involved in the event because it really taught me alot more about the business and it just reinstated my love for events. I love the last minute problems because it's really challenging and I love the rush, satisfaction, the adrenaline when the show gets going. So amazing! (of course it helps that I'm officially acquainted with the boy wonder of fashion, Daniel Boey)

Enough about that though, I was actually really really drained today, extremely quiet during class, think that bothered Mr D a lil bit cause he came over to ask if I was sick.

Apart from today's tutorial being a tad boring, something else that occured bothered me. Over dinner with Huimin, Leo, Chrissy and Dy, Huimin mentioned something that hit me.

"Why do you fall out with so many people ah?"

I remember awhile back when I spoke to April at the reservoir (yes, that very day when we were DAMN late for class) and we were also at this topic about me and my friends. The discussion reached this very same issue about me falling out with quite a few people and if it bothered me. I remember thinking that it did not affect me because nobody is indispensible. I feel that no matter in whatever relationship, nobody should be indispensible. The moment someone is indispensible to your life, you are treading on dangerous grounds man. I also remember saying that I am not afraid of falling out with friends because :

1) I don't fall out with friends for no rhyme or reason so if there was a reason to fall out with the person, I don't view it as my fault. So, why should I be afraid?
2) Without sounding arrogant or cocky, I just don't think the day will ever come whereby I don't have a single friend. Honestly.

Looking back, I've always been the life of the party, the PR machine, the one that everyone knew or heard about, the one that is everybody's best friend. But very few friends have successfully transcended boundaries and gone thru times with me. I'm sure those close to me now know that I absolutely HATE bumping into old friends. I can't quite explain this but yeah, looking back, I just realised that it is true- very few friends actually stick it thru with me. And I'm just trying to get to the root of the problem.

Am I quarrelsome? Petty? A pain in the ass?

Dear Friends, please leave me some tags. I'm kinda sick of being everybody's Best Friend, running errands for people, going all out to help people and just getting so fucking little in return. I feel shortchanged.

To those who are always puzzled as to how THE best friend, Ling, looks. There you go:

Monday Blues (already?!)

2005-12-04T23:15:00.000+08:00

Funny how I'm feeling Monday blues already, considering it's only Sunday night. Besides, I've not had Monday blues in a long while. That's so secondary school. Speaking of which, a few secondary school friends have been messaging and stuffs lately. More of that later.

It must be the fact that I had a really exciting week! Firstly- on Thurs night, Dyan's surprise party!

It was really exciting and heartwarming cause the poor girl actually cried. Of course, it helped that there was a spanking new phone with a branded strap as a present and really really really cute cousins. Heh.

I just wanna be how black.

The next day, I brought Apes, Ben and Hweech to work at TEC. Sigh, don't wanna talk too much about that cause I feel pretty damn bad! If you guys are reading this (I'm sure at least 1 is, HAHA) SO so sorry again!

Of course, I was straddling between the office and SABA's way overdue reunion dinner. I was extremely nervous because Morr was in for a surprise- her very first surprise party ever! I knew the girl would be overjoyed because it's been a really terrible couple of weeks for her. I'm so relieved that we managed to pull it off, amazing stuff!

Pity the photos of Morr looking like a Morr-on are not in my possession. Damn!

The weekend came to a brilliant end with Mikey & Emmanuel's year end concert. Watching them perform on stage, together with many other adorable kids, really really touched me. I hate being such an emotional drama papa, but watching those kids perform with such innocence brought a tear to my eye. In that very instant, I saw the future. A future that is getting bleaker by the day.

Anyhow, I had a meeting with my colleague whose wedding I'm emceeing next Mon! Am pretty worried because I just found out there's 550 guests!! Sigh, the heat is on man. Gotta start deciding on what to wear for that night.

Have an event tmr and Tues, looking forward to that but on the other hand, it just means I have alot of things to rush. Let me try to make a To-Do list.

1) Pack room because renovation begins on Wed. (No TV, No Internet, HOW TO SURVIVE?)
2) ASS-ignments. It's beginning to pile up and quite alot is due next week.
3) Emcee Script
4) Outfits for Wedding
5) Events for next 2 days
6) Get down to planning Xmas pageant

Hmm what else do I have on hand? Can't seem to think of anything else right now. As I mentioned earlier in the post, quite a few secondary school friends are asking me out now. Here and there. When it comes to reunions, I'm often apprehensive. On one hand, I look forward to seeing that familiar friend, but yet on the other, there's that "What If" lingering.

Anyway, it's going to be an extremely busy week! Take care you guys!

I promise to behave this Christmas..

Dear Santa,

Greetings!

I have no idea how long letters take to reach you so I figured I should be writing you one now even though Christmas is slightly under a month away. Then again, whoever said we only write to you when it's Christmas? Ah well, I figure that's what most people do.

You know, Santa, I was one of those kids that always believed in you? I didn't really believe you existed but I believe your spirit of love and sharing is manifested in the many people around me. Every year, Christmas is the one festive season that I truly look forward to.

There's just something about Christmas, you can smell it in the air.

Love. Gifts. Delicacies. Church. Dressed up. Carols. Bells. Red. Green. Tree. Candy cane.

Just some of the many things you associate with Christmas. This Christmas, I feel a lil funny. For starts, I'm extremely broke this year (thanks to the many birthdays of late) and maybe because 2005 has successfully been shit-tier than the previous one. I can see myself feeling sad, down, miserable (insert various emotions) whilst everyone else around me is basking in the pure joy of gift-opening, love and what not.

I dread the day, Dec 25th because I know that my skyhigh expectations for the season will only lead to major disappointments. I hate feeling alone and unloved. Sure, I have friends and family that love me but there's just something different about sharing Christmas with that special someone. Oh well, I'm thankful.

So, Santa, I promise to behave this Christmas... now, could you grant me those wishes? Hehe..

Oops, I've been neglecting this blog of mine. Ok, since April has linked me, I shall spend some time to do up this blog nicely.

I promise!!

Meanwhile, I just got home from DAVID TAO'S CONCERT! And I am in love with him, omg, he's damn talented!! And super charming. It's amazing man! My seat was super good lah, first row, so near to him and I swore he saw my gang cause we were the only ones who STOOD UP AND DANCED while the rest of the audience was pretty much dead. He loved us cause he kept pointing at us.

And, thru the help of connections, WE GOT BACKSTAGE AND ATTENDED THE PRESS CONFERENCE CUM AFTER PARTY! HEHEHE.

My (not so) virgin entry

Hello there one and all,

For those of you who are at this page because I gave you the URL, good for you. That would probably mean I love you.

For those of you who got here by chance (like real!) or by snooping around, sod off. Seriously. You might not be able to take the content, the honesty, the comments and what not.

I've stopped updating my previous blog primarily because like I said, my life has/had ended there and then. It's a new me now, and what better way to celebrate that than by starting a new blog? A little overdue, I know. Can you blame me? With the start of the new semester, I barely have time for myself.

I won't be blogging much tonight because I have other pressing matters to attend to. (Read: FINDING AN OUTFIT FOR ZOUK TMR!) That's right, if nothing goes wrong, we're going to Mambo! I love Mambo, we, the Funseekers, have such a happening life. Yeah, right.

I kinda like sch this semester cause it seems alot more hands on but then again, that just means that the workload is alot more heavy and difficult. It's only Week 2. Good lord, save me. I'm so glad I have April to stick it out with me. Had a great talk with her today over smoke break @ reservoir that extended for way too long.

Alright, why does my throat hurt again? I just recovered from a freaking throat infection!!!
