no idea why the previous post so white. font got problem.

heal, it takes time

dun reli have time for anything right now. but cant reli study anyways. so might as well kill some time here. bloody music player doesnt work in the uk. cant do anything abt it. some stupid copyright laws do not allow it to be played. so i reverted back to the old way. just embed some song in the background. this one is called

Legendary - Lou Barlow

I know I wanted more than you could give to me
I know there'll come a day I understand
until then I'll be trying to solve a mystery
wonder why I couldn't make you stay

Smiling through denial, my specialty
I thought that was a good thing for awhile
You gave me all your secrets, were you testing me?
How could I do anything but smile?

Reenact your legendary tragedy
Do to me what has been done to you
Is that the only point to all this misery
Is there any reason I should cry?

Heal, it takes time
And you gave me all you had
I know in time I will believe
That I loved you, did you love me?

Heal, it takes time
And you gave me all you had
I know in time I will believe
That I loved you, you loved me
You loved me.

this dude was from dinosaur jr last time. old man already. exams less than 2 weeks away. no where near prepared for it. i'm so dead. quite a few ppl asked me why i'm so emo right now. well, just do listen to the song. its pretty self explanatory.

on the bright side, sky diving rocks. it is pretty amazing. for a guy who is super scared of heights, sky diving is not bad at all. i rmb i was dying on the way up eiffel tower. but this is no kick. probably too high already dun feel anything. i'm going all the way to get the full license. gonna cost a lot of money, but in the long run it'll be quite worth it. since jumps will be dirt cheap for me with the license. i recommend it anyone who wants to do something thrilling. and come on, i'm sure u all have sky diving somewhere on ur bucket list. so jus grow a pair and go do it. u wun regret it.

return tickets to singapore booked. 31st may. cant wait =)

slow dancing in a burning room

its been a long long long time since i last logged in here. wonder if anyone even visits here anymore lol. stupid uk copyright shit doesnt allow me to use the playlist thing i installed on this webpage. if not i'll actually update more. i'm into making mixtapes now. and i'm currently on my 4th one. basically you listen to it. you know how i've been for the past month in slightly more than an hour's time.

it has been an emotional rollercoaster for me in the past couple of months. now the ride is over, for good. the tracks have straightened out. and its time to stop living in a delusion and face the truth. sometimes you just gonna leave it to fate. if it throws you lemons, make lemonade. if it throws you a whole pile of shit. better have some soap and hot water ready.

一眨眼2 months have passed. london is getting colder and the weather more miserable. but i'm getting closer with frens here and getting to know them better. its kinda like army. when u are confined with a small group of people, u tend to get close and gum together extremely fast.

there are way to much happenings for me to list everything. suitting up as an angel for the boat party. eating some brilliant roast duck at goldmine. eating si chuan food. eating jap food. playing touch rug at nottingham. getting picked up by gay muscle man at club neon. neighbour getting piss drunk during a party. eating the best nectarines in my life. meeting and catching up with a very old fren of mine. etc etc

london is fun

end

london baby

i've been staring at the same page on my econs textbook for like 2 hours so i decided to take some time out. cant bloody study for nuts.

its been 3 weeks in london, and despite the unlucky happenings, it has been a blast.

food in london is absolutely horrible. and bloody expensive. what the hell is going on man. with french and italian influence nearby, the food still like shit. miss singapore food man. lasksa...... i miss katong laksa. sian.....

anyways some major happenings in london. a couple of weeks ago i went on a pub crawl with the ucl econs and finance society. its a drinking trip along the circle line. so we hop onto the the tube, drop at every station, get to the nearest bar, and go for a drink at every single bar. it was fun until we reached kings college pub. after around 4 pints of beer and 9 shots i was pretty high. for some reasons i smashed my head into the corner of a metal comment box and ended up busting my head. i was rushed to the hospital where i waited for around 2 hours to see the man nurse. he took my bloody pressure and told me i'm not dying. he also said he's not sure if i need stitches. all he knew was that its bleeding so it probably needs something. and he said need to wait for around another 2 hours to see the doc. NHS ftw... lol....

met up with gerbs jenhan jilyn at london. very fun night. feels good to have close frens around. gives you this sense of assurance. that there will be someone who will take care of u jus in case u need it.

i've been drinking too much in london. 1/3 of my total expenses is spent on alcohol. the drinks are not cheap here. a pint goes for at least a couple of quids. good ones go up to 3 plus pounds. sick shit. during the 99p nights u only get to drink calsberg, probably the worst beer in the world.

despite paying a shit load for my hall, i'm very happy with everything. the hall mates are nice, the food is decent, and i stay damn bloody near sch. all lectures are within 5min walking distance from my room. there was one day i overslp, i got a call, and i reached the stats building within 10min. nice.

shall go back to my econs book. i love studying =)

yea right...

end

it never stops

sian gonna say life is kinda fking pai mia.

as u know i brought my guitar to uk. the trip was kinda rough for the guitar. i wanted to bring it on board to the plane. however, some dude at the boarding gate at the plane did not allow me to bring it onto the plane and asked me to hand it to the ground crew who will handle it for me. i specifically told them it was an expensive guitar and asked them to handle it carefully. it was also labelled as fragile. guess wad. when the guitar came out on the other side, i could tell the trip was not nice for the guitar.

the guitar bag was dirty. and the guitar suffered some very heavy weight being rested onto it. the guitar went out of tune very badly, which means a very heavy weight has been pressed onto the strings. the pick ups were pressed into the body of the guitar. and the strings were distorted. wad the fk is wrong with the changi crew/sia man..... why is the service to fked up. i cant understand why these ppl are so screwed up. fking low class workers. getting on my nerves. which part of bloody fragile do they not understand.

bloody lower life forms....

end

bye guys

some new songs on the blog. been hearing the canton song hai kuo tian kong for a long time now. but always cant find time to get it. finally after hearing a malay singing it at timbre (he did a damn good job i must say). i decided that i have to get it. so here it is. sharing the love.

i heard from a lot of frens that they damn emo before they leave. but i dun seem to be feeling anything. not even now. it feels the same as if i'm going on a week long holiday trip. except i unplugged my xbox. and gonna unplug my comp too. maybe i'll emo in uk. but not yet.

lush allure uk bound wadever its called...

after a busy week of prep. lush is finally over. got to know a bunch of fun ppl from the event. despite dreading the event, it turned out to be reli reli fun. the only sad thing is that my mosh pit backed out and all the ucl ppl who sabotaged me never go =x

and for once i actually hear something good coming out of gerbert's mouth. whoa. cant believe he actually complimented someone. and ghin hoe got seriously drunk. maybe its the hot chicks from his school that makes him high. talking random stuff. doing random stuff. losing *cough* random stuff.

the after party at phuture was insanely bad. crowd was so bad and i hardly know the music due to my outdated hip hop music library. i spent most of the time at the coffee shop and left way early. zouk is getting from bad to worse.

well. 2 weeks left to london.

crysis revisited

jus got my comp back from the repair shop. my old graphics card was fried under the heavy usage. so i got a new one. with better cooling system and better memory. upgraded from 512mb of gddr3 vram to a whopping 1gb of gddr5 memory. that is around a gazillion times faster than the old one. and with new lighting and shader systems, i'm sure crysis will look brilliant on my comp. on my old card the game ran on medium high settings at a playable frame rate of around 40 fps. now i'm doing 50+ fps on everything set to high. i tried to max out everything but it jus drop to a slide show, totally unplayable when the screen gets filled up. so here it is. witness crysis on high settings.

end

just when you though you were pai mia enough...

it hits you in the gut again. low and hard this time too. too low...

went for ucl fresher's camp. met quite a few interesting ppl. felt that the group is another step up from rj. all the scholars and intellectual ppl. entire chalet overflowing with brain juice. even at a ucl fresher's camp. imagine something like... princeton or yale fresher camp..

but anyways had a great time until the end of 2nd. where my greatest fear came true. some of the ucl guys were talking abt nominating me for uk bound pageant. i thought it was nonsense as it was pretty bullshit and come on the ladies will never vote me. there are so many way better looking guys around.

but for some reason during the camp, i still kena. seriously man. i dun understand. the only reason that can explain that is.... THE LADIES THINK I'M HOT TOO.....

ok enough bullshit. seriously man. this sucks. i have always wanted to be a low profile dude at college. get my first class. then f off. now everyone is gonna think i'm a retard. and i'm gonna let all the ucl ppl down cos obviously i cant win anything. come on.... body beautiful? yea right. if there is a bone beautiful contest. i might jus win. there is no way i win anything if i take this seriously. the only way is if i take it not seriously. its gonna be a huge gamble which i am willing to take. nothing to lose anyways.

so if you wanna see the man himself like what jenhan says.... sat zouk... 730 i think not sure. see you there.... feel free to make a banner...

end

pai mia jus never ends

got my macbook a couple of days ago. its not exactly the best thing on earth. first i cant bloody sell the i touch that came along lol. so if anyone wants an i touch. can get from me. then jus as i got my macbook, my desktop crashed.... again yea... had to send it for repair and replace the bloody graphics card which costs 190. not like i'm gonna enjoy it much since i'll be going overseas in less than a month's time. so as i began to use my macbook more. i discovered a terrible problem with my macbook. the stupid space keys is freaking noisy. its like chalk on whiteboard. the kind of screeching sound that jus drive you nuts. yea it feels like that. so i decided to sent it for repair. before that i had buffet with jenhan and ghin hoe and jilyn. i wanted to go wheellock to the service centre but jenhan wanted to stay. so when we finally went to wheellock. the service centre was closed. less than 10min ago. pai mia to extreme.

but anyways. the macbook is pretty good lah. even thou the user interface takes some getting use to. eg there is no more ctl+c to copy then ctl+v to paste. but its pretty intuitive. and there is auto spell check. which means when i'm typing this right now. half my text is underlined red cos of all my spelling errors and i simply refuse to correct them lol. i bought the macbook so that i wun be playing computer games in uk. however, there is something much cooler. the garage band application. its so freaking cool. it can help u create and mix music. damn easy to use. if u are using piano or acoustic guitar u can jus play and the macbook's build in mic will detect the music and translate into the comp for u. u can tune instruments that way too. way easy. the best part is you can plug in ur electric guitar and have even more fun with it as compared to just the amp. you can mix effects and even record your own songs. awesome. i can so see where half my uni time is gonna to be spent on.

since all the guys are leaving soon. we should get together and have a couple of games of mahjong or poker. no chance already. lol haha. actually i jus wanna play lol. but still. take the hint and get together to play!!

speaking of leaving. situ's absence in singapore can be felt the day after he left. there is no more random convos happening on msn with classmates. no more tech/comp-go-to guy. no more geek who can actually understand my tech talk. and the lousy bassist to my rock band/guitar hero. there seems to be no one jioing the guys to go clubbing. and one less person to share that bloody bottle of whiskey. doubt ghin hoe can survive his so-called 375ml of alcohol tolerance.

been practicing some real guitar for the past few days due to the lack of a computer. and its reli boring. all i'm practicing is pentatonic scale and two octave major scales in multiple positions. its boring and tough. sigh. still newbie stage. but soon i'll be nailing the free bird solo.

i collected my visa last week and i got to say. the people working at vfs uk has left a very decent impression despite the previous pai mia encounter with them. they are very nice, and get things done without complaining even if it means more work for them. so i sincerely apologise for the bad things i've said as i've been proven wrong thanks to the ppl working at vfs uk. kudos going out to all those ppl working there. oh and the security guard like my shirt lol.

through out the process of typing this shit. i've grown 37 wrinkles due to the extreme stress from the noisy space key and i need to end before i smash my macboook up.

confessions of a shopaholic

oh dear. i jus spend another bomb on a big item. this time, its a gibson sg. wanted to go check out fender mia strats at the swee lee sale. ended up buying a gibson. i need to stop buying things on impluse. =(

end

pro means pro

enough with all the thrash talking. pro means pro. all i need to pass driving is 1 test. this is not an end to the pai mia streak because this is something that is within my control. pro means pro.

pai mia is something that u cant control. like how ppl can screw up ur visa. like how ppl can screw up ur health check up. even if u are shit pro. u cant help it.

pro means pro. nuff said.

end

it jus keeps coming

i simply cannot believe how fked up my life is. this whole going to uni thing is getting on my fking nerves.

rewind a month back and i was doing my medical check up with ida's corporate clinic. the clinic is called K N Chin & Associates at suntec tower 3. pls DO NOT go to this clinic at any cost. doctor and nurse are all pretty screwed up. i told the doctor i need the chest x ray for immigration. he said okay. and when i went to the x ray clinic, they tell me the doc wrote that no film is needed. wth. i called up the clinic and the nurse insists that i do not need the x ray. i called up a couple other scholars. all of them had the x ray. i called up clinic again. nurse again said x ray not needed. ida never pay them for that. i asked the nurse to check the scholars files and provided names. within 1/100 of a second she replied me and said no. none of them had x rays. fking retard. i decided that she's not worth my time going down and owning her fking retarded ass.

then was the college hall shit.

then was the visa app. on all of my documents. it stated that i'm studying in uk for 3 yrs. until june 2012. and somehow my fking visa is only valid until 2010. while others are until 2012. wtf.... see. this is what happens when u have the stupid visa done in malaysia. there are loads of fking rules to simplify the job for them. for example, those ppl over at KL do not understand what it means for a scholarship to cover all cost. they wanna see exact figures. they do not how to add 3 yrs to a course start date. they need to see start and end. and still.... with all these help, even a 3 yr old could have approved the visa with no difficulties. theses ppl can still get it wrong. wtf.....

its these lower life forms working for other higher order beings which wastes people's time. i could have spend this time completing another level on bionic commando on my xbox or watching another episode of how i met ur mother. sometimes i feel that the Nazis were a pretty smart bunch. they realise that lower life forms are of no use to society and killing them was probably the best thing to do. why do u leave them screwing things up. esp with impt things like medical check ups, overseas accomodations, and visa applications. they should be left to be done by at least medium intelligence monkeys. they can peel bananas more efficiently than most humans. not me of course cos i learnt how to peel it like a monkey a couple weeks ago. like wad our dear grand master senior minister mentor of the prime minister of singapore lky said a few yrs ago on newspaper. uni grad need to have kids with uni grad. dun corrupt the higher order beings genes.

end

china

finally got back from my trip to visit my grand dad. at first i was kinda dreading the trip cos its a village and there is no plumbing which means no shower, no toilets. but once i got there time jus seemed to fly past and 10 days passed as swift as 2 days. in fact, that was a shop that provided showers.

after watching tonnes of top gear, i'm pretty into driving. and driving along the mountain roads in china is really a joy. despite the really badly maintained concrete roads (they were dirt tracks a few years ago), it was fantastic. the scenery, fresh air, the sun, and occasional smell of cow/horse dung along the road. heaven. next time back, its gonna be a no-plane/train and all driving trip. gonna rent a real good off roader like a land rover have a hell of a driving experience.

at my grand dad's village, things are changing. dirt tracks gave way to concrete roads. horses and cows are replaced by tractors. women cook with LPG stoves instead of the traditional fire wood. ppl are getting computers, bikes, big cable tvs, high heels, and make up. the ppl in the village may be loving it. but i feel kinda sad that the good old stuff are gone. i used to really really dig the village stuff. like the whole out field kinda thing. a very nice change to city life. no internet, no wadever blah blah. but now things are changing so fast in the villages in china nowadays. i feel kinda sad.

i went to the LAN shop (the only one) in the village. saw addicted kids playing CS (still... and not even the steam version, imagine how old). owned them even with my skills for a couple of rounds. considering how much time they spend playing CS, the china dudes are seriously shit and computer games. so many ppl addicted to gaming and we dun see them even getting close to beating the koreans. anyways. i was thinking i might as well use some of the time there to get back on my facebook poker since i lost 3m a couple of hours before i flew. and guess wad, facebook is banned in china. for wadever reasons i dun give a shit. blogspot is banned too. so is livejournal and all foreign blog sites. wth is going on in china.

i was having a chat with my cousin. he said that there are more than 200k paid in the world. 2/3 are from china. wadever airport road, wad random bridge all must pay to use. i jokingly said that the other 1/3 is in singapore. be it ECP or CTE ofrAYE or CBD all must pay. lol.

i had a tonnes of peaches in china. everyday just eat peach... and watermelons cos they are so damn cheap. if you have eaten fruits in america, or china, or most places that grow fruits locally, u would know that fruits (and vegetables) in singapore are crap. totally tasteless cardboard rubbish.

beer is dirt cheap in china. the village i was in. even more so. beers are going for 2 rmb per bottle (610ml). that goes to less than 50 cents per bottle. more than 10 times cheaper than singapore. thus ppl in china drink beer like water. and its probably cleaner too.

if smoking increases your chances of lung cancer by 5times. going to china increases the chances of me getting lung cancer by around 3.5 times. every freaking person smokes in china. omg. no wonder you dun see the sun in beijing. cos of all the cigarette smoke. the most efficient way to carry out genocide in china is to destroy all the cigarette factories.

oh and one more thing. the chinese is insanely nationalistic. or maybe its just one of my cousins. cos he thinks that china is the most powerful country militarily in the world. talking to him abt world politics is like talking to mao ze dong or something. he insists that china can destroy japan, taiwan, south east asia, north korea all at once with the press of a button. and US will not do anything cos china is too powerful. right.......... apparently he does not know abt the US destroyers in japan with the latest ageis anti air/missle defence system. but then again. doubt anyone outside the military knows that either.

anyways. the trip was no where near as bad as i thought it might be. so 10 days, 50 bottles of beer and 800 2nd hand cigarettes later, i'm back at this tiny humid little island, in front of the computer and writing this post.

end

further pai mia

jus got my ucl accomodation last night. kena college hall. the best hall around. like staying in hotel. however, it costs 200 quid a week!! and on the application form i put my max budget is 165 quid.... nice... i tot the english ccould count. damn sian... need to appeal for a cheaper room/hall now. or else i'll be left less than 200 pounds from my monthly allowance.

end

finally...

http://www.playlist.com/

this is one of the best websites since youtube for me. similar to haoting, this website has an absolutely insane huge music archive and almost any song you can think of. it has a built in player and playlist. downloads good quality music at fast speeds off the net and plays in the browser itself. it also generates a code for you to easily put onto any of your webpage be it your blog or facebook profile. brilliant. finding this website has brought me as much joy as getting a kiss from anne hathaway. random.

anyways. for those who really like the songs i've been putting up here. there is a way to get them. go to control panel. then internet options. go to browsing history. settings. view files. then you should get to the temp internet files folder. arrange the files by file type. then you'll find the mp3 files that are downloaded by the player onto your comp for playing inside there. they are not named so you jus scroll to see when are they accessed. picked the most recent one and that should probably be it =)

anyways. since the player is so easy to use. i decided to load it with some of the best from the king of pop. i dun reli like all the big hoo ha over his death. to a true fan of MJ, he never dies. he simply lives forever in our heart. in the form of beautiful music. in the form of beautiful dance. in the form of an ugly nose.

end

new song

this is another one of my fav michael jackson songs.

this one is called who's loving you. i can't find a better version on line so this is 64kbps. one of the best vocal performances by michael jackson. jus shows much vocal range he had when he was a kid. brilliant cover of a song originally by the miracles. enjoy.

end
