big apple
almost all packed. yet somehow i don't feel ready to leave. the backpack feels too big yet too small. i feel excited yet apprehensive. sometimes i think, 'hey, i could be in singapore right now'. and i feel empty, and lonely. but...i really do want to explore NY and Boston. And i really do want to spend some time with yoek before she leaves. i don't know why i'm feeling this way. yep, i guess i won't be updating for a few days. too busy having fun i hope. =) anywez, leaving in an hour or so. everyone have fun wherever u are, whatever you're doing. it's summer!! write me.
miss u so, so much. see u soon hor. *sighz*

i hate computer games
not studying *wails*...i've been playing vampire boy for the last 15 minutes. and i'm already hooked! damn. been at level 6 for a while. Why is Mr. Fire be so angry and why does he want to burn me? why can't vampire boy be like spiderman and stick to walls instead. why are my fingers so retarded? whywhywhy? boohoo. more updates later.
--------
okay...finally reach level 10 (level 6 was too hard..boo). Better go stardee liaoz. now i'm really good at making a little blip on the screen jump on tiny little blocks, but i don't see how that will help in solving microelectronic circuits. *sighz* time for old-fashioned mugging. geez, i feel like a white lab mouse senselessly going through a maze over and over again.
------
liwen makes yummylicious bread pudding, and she just made a batch 2 days ago. i've been eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner...feel like eating some now, for supper. heehee. thanks, for keeping my tummy nice and stuffed. =)

what to do leh?
it's pretty scary huh? i always seem to complain how we're sucked into a relentless cycle that just goes on and on and on. Before you know it, it's the end of yet another semester. why does time seem to slip by so quickly? perhaps we are caught up in the humdrum of everyday life.. or maybe it's just that we tend to forget. it's incredibly, and a little scary how much we forget, and how hazy and fragmented our past becomes. Barely do i remember all the details of secondary school. It was a wonderful and eventful time. and it totally changed and shaped the person that i am today. it's a little sad to think that i'm barely scratching the surface recalling what memories i still have of life back then. and sadder yet is the thought that this fragmented memory is the closest i will ever be to reliving it. True, not being able to experience it again does give it a special and revered place in my heart...but still i hope one day, maybe at the moment of death, to experience life all over again, to watch the long stored-away secrets and memories reveal themselves for the first and last time.
on a lighter note, make the most of the summer holidays, and don't think about so much crap lah. Here's some suggestions as to what to do in Singapore: Our Country, Our Home. haha.. brainwashing is rather effective.

Blair Witch Project 3: hailstorm
hey all you poor people melting in sweltering 35 degree s'pore heat, it hailed today!! yoekie describes it as "ice rain"...yeah, it was really cool. like obese snow really. our reaction was spectacular. we jumped out from our seats, rushed outside to our balcony and stood in the hail (hey, it's not stupid okay). Who would have thought that we would see such precipitation in late May? freaky weather, but yay! we were shouting and screaming like little kids, and rushing in and out of our house like er...busy bees (i know i have an extremely limited vocabulary). and in the midst of all that pandemonium, we managed to record first-hand footage of this momentous occasion. and while dashing out of the house the tape was still running without our knowledge, adding to the excitement when we watched it later. the shouts and screams, the aimless shots of err..nothing much, the jerky technique...totally BWP...haha. =) not sold in stores. now available for a lowlow price of only $19.99. so call 1800-123-4567 now, and we'll throw in FREE heavy breathing for absolutely nothing!
okay..i am feeling very excited now after retelling this story. *breathe slowly* gotta go back to mugging liaoz. glad we shared that moment together. hard to find someone with the same sense of amazement and excitement over such acts of nature. i don't think it would have been half as fun without you around. so i'm reallyreally happy that we're living in the same house, and thanks fer always being so enthusiastic. yippee!

woohoos/booboos
things to be
happy about:
1. last night's candlelit fruit-eating, wine-drinking, word-yelling, picture-taking, hug-giving/receiving, photoframe-exchanging, guitar-playing, catch-upping(okay..i know it's degenerating) gathering at our house. hope u left with smiles on your faces, and memories to last a lifetime. many thanks to YK for the highlight.
2. today's lab BBQ. *drool* got to shoot some hoops too. hope i showed R a thing or two. maybe he won't be so mean to others then.
3. got a library card @ Richmond Public Library. borrowed NY guidebooks, yay! =)

2. hopped up paintball

3. mongolian spot bruise

Unhappy Farter's Day
Did you think i was pissed on saturday? to tell u the truth, i was. don't think that i was angry with u, and unhappy at the long roundabout we had to make. i was irritated instead, at the mysterious farter. *eerie music* Can u imagine how uncomfortable it was to have pungent fumes wafting by your nose in such a small enclosed space? to put it bluntly, it was damn smelly okay. And i don't know who it was. and what made me irritated was that the mysterious farter did not even have the common courtesy to open the freaking window and relieve us of some misery. No, i do not expect you (this is addressed to the farter, not u) to hold your farts until you explode, but yes, i would appreciate it if you'd allow some air in before we faint. thank you. I know how embarassing it can be to own up to it, and proudly proclaim "I FARTED" (even the word 'fart' sounds like it should be hidden away never to see the light of day), but c'mon, surely opening a window doesn't do any harm. It's not like the rest of us will hate you, i mean, we all have experienced the uncomfort of having to pass wind some time or another in the most unsuitable circumstances. man, thank god my window was down. hehe..sorry to show everyone the evil side of xiao, but buay tahan lah. OK, so remember, next time u sit in xiao's black honda accord, pleasepleaseplease:
1. Roll down window
2. Make conversation about it being hot
3. Fart (discreetly if you must)
4. Hold your breath
5. Roll down window even more
6. Apologize if you see everyone is choking and/or tearing (it's only polite)
7. Jump out of car
i would really appreciate it.

hmm..suddenly been writing so much. to think that some stuff on saturday got me thinking....and things just started spewing(eeks) out from then. and it's funny, coz what i originally wanted to write about on saturday, has somehow decided to retreat into the murky depths of i-dunno-where. =) life, so much to think about, yet so hard to retell. i'll get to it soon, maybe. or maybe not.

conversations by twilight
just wanted to let u know that i really do believe in you. I believe that u know what you're doing without compromising your dreams...and i admire you for that. Whatever you choose to do, i'm sure there's a reason for it, and whatever the outcome, i'm sure u'll gain something from it. sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose...but at least u can't say u didn't try. i'll be here for you, even when we're miles apart. And i'll think of you, with each brilliant sunset, and every yellow wildflower. =)
