Farewell BBQ (30 Oct 04)
Did i ever say i have no life??? Well, i take it back!!! Haha cos i had the most wonderful time of my life today, with my fav T106ers!
Haha well, met up with Fiona around 645pm at hougang mrt, and we went around hougang mall just to get some stuff like marshmallows and salsa. YEAH RIGHT SALSA lol..was told they had to delay me til after 7pm or sumthin like that so that they can prepare. So sweet rite? Ahhh i really appreciate all this guys...yup, and while i walked up the stairs to the BBQ pit later on, they made a nice lil poster which said 'We Will Miss You Jonathan". I mean, WOW how sweet is that? Okay i know Ian did it but yea i really appreciate it. Then at the BBQ there was Yihan, Nadiah, Maria, Syed, Ming and Shawn, Kesh and Charlie, and Fiona of course, and we just ate lotsa good food like sting ray, sotong, prawns, fish BALLS, SAUSAGES, chicken wings and roasted marshmallows. Sweet! And then there was even a nice chocolate cake with "Jon Rock Balls" creamed on it. Haiz..someone's grammar needs work lol. The cake tasted fantastic by the way. And then later on they decided to take a 'walk' by the pool. Not a bad effort, but they successfully dunked me in the pool. Man! I nearly got Ian down too but haiyah he kept on wailing about his handphone in his pocket so ah whatever. Good thing Ming advised me to bring a change of clothes.
Also received a nice BIG card from T106 and another one from Mabel, Zixin and Jenny. THANK YOU oh so VERY much guys!! I'm touched really. No not by Calvin. By you guys!! You guys rawk!!! (Calvin if u read this, pls excuse the lil joke). I will never forget this night and you guys as well. This definately won't be the last time we meet. I will definately return to NP to see u guys sometime. And keep in touch always k? Yup..lub u all. *Big Hug*.

i'm sucha bummer
MAN! i'm really such a bummer! Well, in the blogging world anyways. Everyone's doing their blogs all nicely and updating them, but i just don't feel motivated to do it up or even update it. Bleah..holidays are kinda boring. Well, at least there are little things to look forward to, like the BBQ at ming's later, or this coming sunday in church.
Well, life is good and pleasant to say the least. No major disputes at the moment, and relationships are quite okay. Yeah. Hmmm..what else to say? My brain is rusty already!! Can't think so well after such a long time of not studying. Kinda miss the schooling days, the early monday mornings and the long breaks, and of course, YOU guys! Haha..looking forward to seeing u guys at the BBQ! Yep, so till then, see ya!

these words
Threw some chords together, the combination D-E-F
Its who I am, its what I do, and I was gonna lay it down for you
I tried to focus my attention, but I feel so A-D-D
I need some help, some inspiration, but its not coming easily
Tryin to find the magic,
Tryin to write a classic,
Dontcha know, dontcha know, dontcha know?
Wastebin full of paper,
clever rhymes- see ya later
These words are my own, from my heart flow,
I love you, i love you, i love you, i love you,
There's no other way to better say
I love you, i love you
Read some Byron, Shelley and Keates,
recited it over a hip-hop beat
I'm havin trouble sayin what i mean,
with dead poets and a drum machine
You know i had some studio time booked,
but i couldnt find the killer hook,
now you're gonna raise the bar right up,
nothin i write is ever good enough
I'm gettin off my stage
the curtains pull away
No hyper bowl to hide behind
My naked soul expose
I love you I love you, thats all i got to say
cant think of a better way, and thats all i got to say
I love you, is that ok?

cycling trip
this morning at 1am i snug out of my house, hopped onto my bike and cycled from my place at ulu pandan all the way to changi airport. when i got there it was already 5am. first, i set out towards the direction of orchard road, followed by around the esplanade area. then i found my way up the pavement of he benjamin sheares bridge, before getting down near meyer road in katong, and travelling from one end of east coast park to the other, before finding myself next to the runway of changi airport! mission accomplished! man i was so tired, and i had a great time watching the planes take off and landing. i even managed to catch the singapore airlines A345 from Los Angeles landing and a northwest airlines cargo plane take off-not something you see everyday because they always land at that hour. it was really quite a treat!
reached home at around 6am. my parents found out and i didn't really get a lecture. instead my dad told me to call him next time if i wanted to do it so that he could join me. as for my mom, she was all like concern for my safety and my heart condition and all so yeah. but i'm thankful for it. so. anyone up for a midnite cycling trip?? =)

lazy me
These past few days have been dead boring. i'll find myself either sleeping till 11am or i'll be online chatting aimlessly. in a way, i dun quite like holidays a lot. i mean, sure there are lots of things to do, but look at the crappy weather!!! even if i want to hop on my bike and cycle also cannot cos the weather sucks! i really dislike rainy weather, but i guess God has to water His plants rite? so oh well, i'll just have to try to make the best out of the situation.
yesterday i went to the national heart centre for a heart examination before enlisting for NS. didn't expect the procedure to be so fast; all they did was an ECG and then a consultation with the doc and that was it. i was expecting a treadmill test or something but no it didn't happen. oh wells. finished earlier than expected so i thought i'd explore the hospital. thought of visiting the morgue but it was not open to visitors. i mean, i do enjoy the occasional thrill. took a bus home after that. then it rained heavily so i stayed in till around 4 plus before heading down to bugis to meet andrew and angel. hunted for david's bday gift for couple of hours then headed down to costa sands. bbq and all was alrite. didn't eat that much as with all bbqs i attend. after that me dad picked me home.
out.

T106 ilu
Dear T106Little did i know that after handing up a blue form for Mass Communications in NP, my life would change forever.
On 27th June 2004, i attended the MCM orientation, and saw that i had been allocated to group T106. Blur, i entered LT 26 and was told to sit near the back of the LT, where i sat in front of a few girls (Charmaine, Keshia) and next to a guy (Ian). As the day went on, i came to know that T106 would be the class that i am to spend my four months in Ngee Ann, and after four months, here's what i can conclude. T106 is full of interesting people, like Nadiah who is always so open and funny, Evelyn who laughed at the Day Day mineral water we got on orientation day and quite a rocker, Serene who laughs and screams, Ian who married an apple, Yihan whose nerdy appearence is a deception, Calvin who is really 'one of a kind', Sue with the attitude, Maria the fairy princess (with Yihan), Fiona the funky brain, Charmaine the pink lady, Keshia who's really really nice and sincere, Benita who's loud and funny, Syed and his ewok, Ming who really has got the radio voice, Anne, Jenny, Mabel, Zixin, Valerie and Eugene who are really really REALLY nice people as well. WOW.
Today marks the last official day that i see you all in school. I'm so glad to have met you all, as you all have left footprints on my life, and i will certainly hold on to memories of you guys and ngee ann. I will definately come back to see you guys after i leave and we can always hang out some more out of school. Just want to wish you all the very best for the next semester, as well as the two years to come in mass comm. And though i will no longer be with you in school, my heart goes out to you. Love u guys!!! =)

smells!!!
rushed my flash assignment today. not going to comment anything about it; i'll let the results speak for themselves whether good or bad.
anyway, went out to buy some stuff today with angel. so sad that the rest couldn't join us. met joyce by coincidence at buona vista mrt but she couldn't join us as she was late for some function in school. on our way there, we entered an mrt train which smelt like someone had pee-ed on the floor. disgusting smell. then we made our way first to sasa at wisma where the smell of perfume hit us hard on the nose. looked around and bought nothing as usual and left the shop, only to be hit in the nose by the strong smell of famous amos cookies. headed for dinner at taka when we walked past a giorgio armani showcase and they were giving out sample cards. the smell of quality perfume once again hit our noses. went to KFC for dinner, where we smelled the smell of deep fried oil-filled chicken. after that, we headed down to the big area in ngee ann city where they always have cars on display. this time it was korean automaker kia. we went round to all the cars like the cerato, carnival, etc. and took a deep whiff of the lovely new car smell which i really like. after that aromatic experience, it was off to lucky plaza where we smelled and smelled and finally settled on the perfume of choice. will reveal which one later. after that we headed back to wisma via the underpass and once again took more sample cards from the giorgio armani showcase. i fell in love with the armani white pour homme and am secretly wishing someone would buy it for me. went into hallmark where we spent quite some time staring at wrapping materials. i decided to conveniently leave my armani classic sample card there just to get rid of it, and we ended up leaving and buying nothing. we left for the model shop nearby to lust over the diecast metal. then we left and decided to go for some coffee at coffeeclub and though we didn't drink coffee in the end, we did smell the great aroma of quality coffee. i had a rambutan freeze and angel had a summer tea freeze, an ice-blended tea with hints of lemon juice. we then got news that jerry had finally been kicked out of sg idol (about time), and then headed back to hallmark. the people there must be thinking, 'those two again, i'll bet they won't actually buy anything'. We did. wrapping paper. and yea, i took back my armani classic card to smell smell before throwing it away again.
shopping done. had a call from rachel and we talked all the way till i reached my doorstep. i love her loads.
so that was my day summarised in a few paragraphs. PEOPLE!! don't take your nose for granted! smell anything and everything and appreciate it no matter how good or now bad!!! =p

Flash!
Ohkay, was currently using Flash 5 on my laptop, but came to school yesterday to get Flash MX as well as all the other Macromedia stuff installed as well. Was extremely tired that day, cos i slept around 4am the night before..or rather on the same day, cos i was up drawing my animals for my Flash assignment. Quite a tedious task i must say, but i guess i did enjoy doing it. Now i think i'm a bit behind schedule cos my Flash isn't halfway done yet, and i still haven't started studying for Prinmark this monday. Oh yah, many thanks to Fiona for telling me it's this Monday and not next week Friday. =)

fort canning
Fort Canning Park is simply beautiful. Today (Fri) felt like some school holiday back in the secondary school days. The sun always seems to shine brighter then. Didn't manage to finish radio assignment by 11am, so bopian, one day late. bleah. what a cruel world. Anyway, around 5pm, we left NP for carrefour at PS, bought lotsa stuff like canned tuna, bread, drinks and even a choc cake! (which we didn't finish). Then we walked to fort canning park..but first we walked thru park mall to look at those beautiful designer furniture as well as to pee pee. Once that was done, we walked this really lovely underpass to fort canning. It looked like some rustic forbidden castle tunnel of some sort; one that Batman would probably use too lol. Walked up many flights of steps only to find out we walked the wrong way, so we had to go down and walk a different way, interrupting a couple's lovey-dovey moment. We finally reached a nice spot right in front of the main building, where our only source of light was from some nearby fountain with a lion's head. (scary). Nadiah was half the time scared of getting caught until one of us told her we were in the public area and not the country club. We ate and talked, ate and talked; many bats flying above our heads, and hoping they wouldn't drop their guano on us. Then we decided to play some music from nad's laptop and danced around like mad freaks. Then when we were tired, we had a nice long chat, and even confessed our likes and dislikes about each other. It was a real intimate moment, but at the end of it, we just wanted to hug each other. We took lotsa photos in funny funny poses. Then Fiona lost her earring! But miracle of the day, Yihan found it! I mean, it was really like looking for a needle in a haystack. Her earring was small and flat, smaller than a fingernail, and WOW, it was found!
All in all, i had a fantastic time with you guys. I hope that we can do it again, and that more people can join us too! =)
Woke up at 12:20pm the next day.

anxious, but GOD answers prayers
hey guys. guess these next few weeks are going to be busy again. so what's new?
i'll tell you what's new. over a month and a half ago, i don't know if nadiah still remembers this, but she asked me what that strange lump on my neck was. at that time, i really just thought nothing of it. but today after my bath, i looked in the mirror and noticed that that lump was bigger than before. of course i got really worried and anxious and i really couldn't concentrate on my writcom. i looked up all the internet websites about lumps in necks and got the impression i was gonna get a cancer and die. but don't know why, at that moment, Angel called cos she noticed my stress moments ago and i told her about the strange lump. she told me that tumors were soft and squishy so that was a bit of a relief. she then advised me to tell my parents about it. i did. first i went to my mom who was already asleep. i woke her up and told her about it, and she told me that it was probably my lymph node swelling due to some past illness. she prayed for me and told me to pray about it too, and see a doc the next day. then i went to tell my dad who was strumming on his guitar to don moen's music, and he told me that it was my lymph node swelling due to heatiness, not enough water and all, and that it was nothing serious; just needed some antibiotics. you know what? I'M SO RELIEVED! i mean, for a moment there i thought it was the beginning of my war against cancer but i mean, God is good. He answers prayers! I know it wasn't anything serious to start with, but really, He is good and He comforts me. Thank You Lord.
To
Angelthank you for your prayers and concern. i appreciate it!
To
Rachhi couldn't reach you when i needed you most. when will u get your phone back?
And to my church and school friends and all those who i know reading this:
if ever i have to go, i just want you to know that from the bottom of my heart, life was worth living because of you. THANK YOU. (Big hug)

at-Tension
BOYBANDS. What is it about them that make girls go crazy?? Okay, since i'm not allowed to mention any names, i will hold me tongue.
Anyway, today was an extremely great experience being part of the crew of a professional concert. I was assigned to stand near the door and collect tickets. After collecting the tickets, direct them to get their bags checked for recording devices. I also got to do a bit of bag checking! Haha..NEVER touch their bags. Simply ask them to open it, take a peek inside and then let them go if you don't find anything suspicious. I also managed to catch the concert. Err. Okay lah. Truthfully, they were ordinary. They can sing, but you can hear the slight out-of-tune note occasionally. But well, alrite la, they got the dance moves. And then when the crowd got a bit crazy, we had to restrain and hold them back. MAN! Crazy ah..and then i was sitting on the steps for a while, when one of the guy came up the stairs to greet the crowd. As usual, the girls went all mad and when the guy came standing over me (i was seated), he was like right above me and with all the hands right above my head, i just looked up and said 'hi' to him. And then he looked at me, smiled and said hi back. LOLx!!! I just wanted to LUFF man!! WAhaha..i mean k lah they're really a nice bunch of people la.
At the end of the show, we got to go backstage to take group photo with them. We were each given a goody bag with a poster and all sorts of things. I got a Kylie poster ;) which everyone was fighting for. I held my tongue and silently left the room without letting anyone know i've got it. MUAHAhahaha!
Sue, Eve, Serene and i then went to Al-Ameen for some dinner before playing an hour of pool. We had fun, rite girlies?? Hahaha..
On the way back home on the bus, i saw my dad's car driving by my bus. I was expecting a call from Rachel then so yeah..wouldn't want daddy to hear the conversation would i?
Well, that's basically my day. Of course in the morning i did go to the lib to study here and there. Was kinda distracted, but at least we managed to update one another about happenings and all. Also did an EQ test and got real LOW. (u happy now?!) I got 118, whereas Ming got like..hundred 30 plus...bleah whatever..lol

Then got up at 0830am..was a little late for Radio workshop but nvm, attendance wasn't taken if i'm not wrong. Anyway, webgraph was fun today. Learning Flash MX. A bit complicated. I hope i grasp the idea of how it works soon. Oh yah. I got an A+ for photoshop dreamweaver test!!!! YAY-NESS!!! praise God!! Yep. My group skipped prinmark to finish up our report. I hope we get a good grade. I put in a lot of effort leh..better be good. And then went home..watched sg idol. DISAPPOINTING. How on earth did JERRY ONG get in and JESSEA get out?!! Something is obviously WRONG here. I'll leave the commenting to you guys, but i personally have my disappointments. This is really unfair. It's not even as if he CAN sing, cos he CAN'T!!! Angry.
