I opened my eyes, last night, and saw you in the low light
Walking by the bay, on the shore
Staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore
You happened to look, and see, the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground

I went to Malaysia like, 2 days ago. On the 28th?

I realised how a trouble white cards can be.

Because of the officer not returning my white card, I have to walk all the way back into the customs with my aunt, and get the card back from him.

He changed his seats, so we had to walk like, up and down the customs lane twice to search for him. Lucky there wasn't alot of cars around.

Faggot man. When we got out of the customs it started to drizzle.

Psh, too pissed now that I remember it again.

There's definitely more people AND more fun this time round.

Firstly, the entire gang is out! Plus, J, M and E.

That makes up to 12 people!

After the painful settling of X'mas presents (:D), we went to Bugis!

We went to MacD, and SH met some online gamers. A couple in fact, XT and KH. I was there too. HAHAHA. They don't know who I am, but I know WHO they are NOW. -evil-

Then, we went to buy MX a birthday cake at Breadtalk. We were so bored waiting from her that we went from standing outside Breadtalk to squatting outside Breadtalk to sitting outside Breadtalk.

When we're milling around waiting for MX to turn up, we saw an old lady trying to get on the escalator with help from her sons? Apparently after she got on, she didn't stand properly enough and she fell backward. :o

I was so shaken man, so did SH and the rest. Oh-em-gee. Lucky she didn't appear to be hurt.

YH started randoming sometime before that and started to hold my hand the way couples hold their hands. -cough- (I don't blog chronologically, I blog as events come to mind. :D)

SH and QL started too. It was quite fun, cos we started sauntering around Bugis holding hands like that. Ho ho ho.

Due to the lack of movies at Bugis, we went to Orchard's Cathay Cineplex. (: We even cut the cake and sang a birthday song to her at the cineplex! It was fun! We went to watch Ip Man. BUT.

BUT!

The show was stopped like, half an hour later due to technical glitches. ): They compensated us with complimentary passes. Dang.

That's when we started the Orchard escapade. We walked all over Orchard somewhat aimlessely. No thanks to Cathay for spoiling our movie, our day and our schedule!

YH, SH and I started walking in a weird fashion. Linking arms, we formed a roadblock.

Efficent one at that too!

According to QL, walking at the back with MX, we were -inserts quote from her blog-

The 3 betches -Lumi, Mich & Ahya- kept sauntering from one corner of the path to another, right infront of me and Xuans. -throws invisible darts- ;x They are faster than MRT, speedier than taxi. Liews, judging by the speed of their ability to walk from one corner to another, I've only several conclusions.

1. They have superb navigation skills that are comparable to those of the elite sailors!
2. They can't walk in a straight line.
3. They travel at the speed of a normal person times two. Short-lived.


Whoa. I orignially wanted to kope the blurry pictures of the 3 of us from her. But I am too lazy. Sorry o-O

Orchard Cathay's Cineplex! You are the ONE responsible for ruining our day! The FIRST EVER 38Kias MOVIE OUTINGGG! ):
Friday, December 26, 2008

YAY, IT'S THE 26th today. And there's a 38Kia outing scheduled.

Oh my gawd, I hope they won't get anything for me. Cos I never get anything for them. Cos I don't celebrate Christmas AND I am BROKE. )':

Oh blardy blardy.

Somebody save me. Vin got me a present too.

When I saw her message, I was going.

AHHHHHHH WHAT THE FISH HEAD. HOWWWWWWW. )':

I've never been so depressed about receiving presents/ gifts before.

Oh em gee. How. How, how?!

I went out with my Dad yesterday to visit some relatives and to pass them back some stuff.

On the way to BKE, there's this split in the lane. Go straight and you end up in Kranji, make a left turn and you end up on BKE.

There's this absolutely mad taxi driver, with air for brains, (or something similar) did this very daring manouvre.

This nearly resulted in an accident. Mind you, it was raining rather heavily and it was quite dark. If not for my Dad braking in time, the mad Taxi would have smacked right into the driver's side of our car.

The taxi apparently went the wrong way, and wanted to turn on to BKE instead. But it overshot, and did a turn, blind to our car's presence behind him.

Infuriating thing is when, even when Dad honked at him, he still continued his turn! He nearly scratched our car. (Damn him if he did that, I waxed the whole bloody car MYSELF before the accident. Just hours before! My hardwork and the car!)

The ABS was making weird grinding noises at the time.

Even as the taxi went away, I took note of the licence plate.

What I was angry about, was not that my Dad's car would be scratched, or whatever.

It was about traffic safety. And the taxi's reckless behaviour, resulting in dangerous driving. He could have killed someone who was driving faster than my Dad. Especially if the person had no intention in stopping at all and was thinking he could simply drive faster and escape the crunch.

In the circumstances, if he made a mistake, he should have driven up the road. Around one or two traffic lights more up the road, he would have been able to make a safe, legal U-turn and travel all the way back to BKE. But he did not.

The guy obviously had poor sight, and the rain and the dark night wasn't helping him much. Even though he has no passengers onboard, he should not have attempted such a dangerous move.

When my Dad drove past him, I saw a bespectacled uncle leaning forward on his steering wheel.

Seriously man. Drive safely, or you end up losing more than what you bargained for.

Dad was joking about how he saw this taxi pwning itself this morning on his way to Jurong.

Taxis nowadays.

...

I went to watch Twilight, and sort of forgot to mention it here.

I am not exactly a die-hard fan of handsome guy saves pretty girl plot, but I must compliment Edward Cullen. The CGI effects are a little bit weird, at least to me anyways.

Edward is very very suave when he fought to save Bella.

Oh em gee. How I hope such things happen in real life.

And yes, SY. Edward is quite the gorgeous hunk. ;D

I went for a haircut cos my hair's getting unruly.

My fringe is poking into my eyes when the wind blows sometimes. Thus, that makes me want to cut it into tiny pieces. o.o

Ok, was kidding. I went for a haircut and when I finally put on my spectacles, I got a bloody shock.

My hair looked as though it was cut like a bob.

It was only when the hairdresser went to comb it properly then I was reminded that I needed to breathe.

Hahas, all the long bits were at the back :D

Gahs. I can't wait for the 2nd 38Kias outing.
Saturday, December 20, 2008

VIN TOLD ME, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH "INNOCENT" AS A MIDDLE NAME.

WHY OH WHY! D:


I AM SUCH A BLOODY NOOB. -coughs-
Friday, December 19, 2008

We had a 38Kias outing the day before, and sad to say that some didn't make it. Like, YH, and MX.

I couldn't go when they met up in the morning, because I was busy (I have to work), so I went later in the day instead. When I reached Bugis it was already around 3pm. So the sweet girls, not wanting me to waste $16 on 3hours of K-ing, asked me to go lan instead.

Hahs. And so I did. :D

It was quite fun, they came out around 5.30. And sad to say, Pearlina and QL has to go already. What the hell. I just met them and they have to go. ):

WC ran away too. o.o

So in the end, it was like, SH, Gibson, JL and me left.

SH, along with QL, was telling me how wonderful JL sings. Boy am I surprised. Anyways, we went for dinner at the foodcourt. I miss Singapore's food. Kind of. Japan didn't have "normal" food, at least to me. After that, SH bought a bag at Bugis Street. Now I feel like I want to buy another too. :O

We actually wanted to play pool at Bugis. But I can't remember where it is, and even though I called up Edwin for directions, I was still blur. So we all decided the next best thing was to go home. Hee.

We went to CWP when we reached Woodlands, and we walked around. :O

It was sweet for SH and JL to walk me home. Really appreciated it. Even though it was still early. ;D

We were like crapping the whole day, and even though I was with them for only a couple of hours, I really enjoyed it. And I must say, SH is a really easy going girl. Very fun to be around with.

I'm back from Japan, all you pretty things :D

During the trip, really alot of things happened, and when I have time and when I'm done with the report and all, I'd do something "surprising".

Which is quite lame actually. To post pictures of Japan!

And

I Y THE 38KIAS.

Hurhur. Will be put up and taken down whenever I feel like it.

Friday, December 5, 2008

I will be flying off to Japan on Sunday, the 7th.

Bon Voyage to myself, and the whole RSS team. :D
Tuesday, December 2, 2008

I was uber bored. Not Auditioning cos not much fun people online.

Not ProMSing cos Vin is away and Teh's dead. The rest are not smega-ers and never will be as fun. /;

So I blog hopped, and sat there for like, almost an hour thinking what was SY's url. Brain-dead-ed!

Anyways, went to XY and Ju's. Ju had a cute blogskin! Kawaii neh. :D Then, I went to do some BlogThings Quizzes as shown on her blog.

You Are a Good Friend Because You're Supportive
You are almost like a life coach for your best friends.
You give them help when they need it... but you also know when to give them a push.

People tend to rely on you for moral support and advice.
You've probably always been mature for your age, so this is a role that's you're comfortable with.

A friend like you is one of the rarest kinds.
You are both a good mentor and companion.

Your friends need you most when: They are confused or worried

You really can't be friends with: Someone who only wants to complain

Your friendship quote: "The only way to have a friend is to be one."
http://www.blogthings.com/whatmakesyouagoodfriendquiz/">What Makes You a Good Friend?


Oooh. Aaah. I don't do that often. Only back when it was SY. And yes, I hate complain kings/ queens who do NOTHING, ZILCH about their current situation.

You Are Very Happy
Your life is totally together, and you enjoy every day.
And you don't need a quiz to tell you that!
You know how to find pleasure in the little things...
And even when life isn't so great, you have a good sense of perspective.
http://blogthings.com/howhappyareyoureallyquiz/">How Happy Are You, Really?


True. I am soooo happy :D Thank life.

You Are 76% Peaceful
You are a very peaceful person. All is good in your world, no matter what's going on.
Occasionally you let your problems get to you, but you generally remain upbeat.
Your inner strength is inspirational - much more so than you may realize.
http://blogthings.com/howpeacefulareyouquiz/">How Peaceful Are You?


That's a surprise. I have inner strength :O

Your Life is 74% Perfect
Your life is pretty darn perfect. You don't have much to complain about.
Of course, your life is occasionally less than perfect. But you're usually too happy to notice.
http://blogthings.com/howperfectisyourlifequiz/">How Perfect is Your Life?


This source supports the happy theory! :D Hee.

Your Life is Better Than 70% of All People
You really have things pretty good - so stop a minute and appreciate how great your life is.
You likely have a cheery outlook, supportive friends, and plenty to keep you happily busy.
You are usually content - and with good reason. You have a lot to be happy about.
So when things don't go well, remember that you have it better than most people!
http://blogthings.com/howdoesyourlifecomparequiz/">How Does Your Life Compare?


WOO WEE!

You Are Monday
Like this day of the week, you are ruled by the moon.
More than anything, you are flexible.

You are moody and impressionable. You are easily influenced by the world around you.
And while you can be temperamental, you eventually adjust.

While Mondays tend to be the hardest day for people, you don't mind getting back to regular life.
You're the one waking up early and making the coffee while everyone else complains.
http://blogthings.com/whatdayoftheweekareyouquiz/">What Day of the Week Are You?


No comments. Being a day is just ... weird.

You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament
Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace.
You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions.
You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and collected.

It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional.
You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others.
While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well.

At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything.
You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams.
You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment.
http://blogthings.com/whattempermentareyouquiz/">What Temperament Are You?


Maybe I should work off that dependant thing soon. ): Its showing in those tests for the past few years. I wasn't like that before. :O

You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.
http://blogthings.com/howboyishorgirlishareyouquiz/">How Boyish or Girlish Are You?


TRUE TRUE TRUE.

You Are 56% Interesting
You are a fairly interesting person. Many people find you to be intriguing.
You have a dynamic, adventurous life... a life that others envy.

You are genuinely interested in and open to the world.
You love making new friends, and you're always up for an unusual experience.

Like everyone else, you can get a bit boring from time to time. That's normal.
But unlike everyone else, you can pull yourself out of a rut. You don't stay boring for long.
http://blogthings.com/areyouboringorinterestingquiz/">Are You Boring or Interesting?


Yeah yeah yeah~ Yeah yeah yeah~ (Sings the start of Duffy's Mercy)

You Are Somewhat Approachable
You are a fairly friendly person, and you're definitely not scaring people away.
You do tend to have your guard up strangers, and rightfully so.

How approachable you are depends on who is trying to approach you.
You're friendly to people who seem harmless and nice. But you also know how to give creepy people the cold shoulder!
http://blogthings.com/areyouapproachablequiz/">Are You Approachable?


TAKE THAT, FREAKS!

You Are a Log Ride
You prefer to live a fairly calm, relaxed life... with a few surprises thrown in.
You don't tend to get yourself worked up easily. You can roll with what life throws at you.
In relationships, you are steady and solid. You maintain a pretty broad perspective on what's going on.
That's not to say you can't get swept away. You're emotions run as deep as anyone else's.

Your life seems like it has been remarkably easy so far. But that's due to how you manage it.
You never stretch yourself too thinly, and you think out your decisions carefully.
Taking the time to enjoy each day is important to you, and you don't let your emotions rule you.
You stay the course and do what's right... knowing it will all work out in the end.

At your best, you are tolerant and understanding of other people's quirks.
You take "go with the flow" to the extreme. Even if you don't like where you're going.
At your worst, you repress your feelings and end up being a little tightly wound.
You definitely have some explosive emotions that occasionally come to the surface!
http://blogthings.com/whatcarnivalrideareyouquiz/">What Carnival Ride Are You?


What is a logride? Is that the one with water? D:

You are an Atheist
When it comes to religion, you're a non-believer (simple as that).
You prefer to think about what's known and proven.
You don't need religion to solve life's problems.
Instead, you tend to work things out with logic and philosophy.
What's" Your Religious Philosophy?


Its a long story. I used to believe. Before it happened. Nevermind, it's just life, and perhaps that was what was meant to be.

I'm getting bored now, going off to bed. :D
