Singapore Arts Festival @ CCK...

I confess... I'm no art person... Seriously!!! Give me any song sung by any artist (excluding those operas of course) or artwork or flim or play or drama... And I'll just listen/ watch till it's over before commenting tt 'It's not bad...'

Perhaps I'm just trying to give some politically correct answers... Or I just don't know how to truly appreciate the arts... Oh wow... Now we're @ some [GP] topic now huh???

Anyway... There's this performance [K@smos] an adward winning show by [Puja!], an arts troupe from [Spain]... The performance is 'not bad' (I'm @ it again)... The performance took place @ the open field outside [Lot 1] and this is no ordinary performance, mind you... It's a gravity-defying performance where the performers were performing in mid-air...

It's a 1 hr performance and the finale's awesome... Nope... None of the 8 performers jumped 30m - 40m... There's a fireworks display... YES!!! A fireworks display @ [CCK]!!! Right in font of my very eyes!!! I've never witness a fireworks display up close and personal before in my 18 yrs of life and this is my virgin experience...

Though the performances were breath-taking, I don't understand what it means... You can say I'm an arts retard/ idiot... Even after I SMS-ed [Dar] and he told me tt he actually spoke to the performers, I found out tt it's abt life... Heke... Still can't see the link... LOL... Really can't appreciate Arts...

Oh well... Guess I'm really dense... Oh and did I mention tt I'm blind??? Nope I didn't...

I saw [LY] today... Not before my sis practically pointed @ her right in the face before I realised tt it's [LY]... Gosh!!! She's like only 75cm away from me and I can't see her... Zzz... Maybe because I'm seeing but not looking??? I'm preoccupied with the soccer thingy @ [Lot 1], so I didn't see who's walking past... LOL... I'm like used to my sis as my eyes le...

Which proves to be a very, VERY bad thing... Because I was so damn @#%^ blind tt I didn't see him tagging along with [LY]!!! The chance of seeing him again was right in front of me... And I stupidly missed it!!! Guess lady-luck doesn't really stick to you like glue...

I feel like there's a big $100 bill pasted on my specs... So freaking devastated abt tt... I shall try to de-stress now... Here's the fireworks tt I took from my [Nokkia 7260]... Pardon the poor quality... The phone can't zoom and for the love of GOD, it's a camera phone, not some high-quality video cam... So quit complaining and be thankful tt you could actually see some fireworks tt you've actually missed...

CMPB... AGAIN?!

Wahahaha!!! I'm blogging once more... It's a good way to de-stress okay?! If you're seriously unhappy with tt... It's your problem... File a lawsuit if you want, I don't care...

I was back @ [CMPB], the place which I vow never to step into agin for as long as I live... Finally!!! I've gotten my PES[T] status!!!

I was there early (expected)... But the doctor was on time... Zzz... Hence when they got my pupils dilated for the subsequent eye tests, I waited... And waited... AND WAITED... Till it's 1400 hrs!!! Waited for like 30 mins!!!WTH!!! The doc called me in and had a look @ my retina... The usual test where they shine a torch of high intensity directly into my eye just to see the insides... I don't think tt doc did a lot of those shining cause he only shone the light into my right eye for a very long time... As a result, when he's done with the test, my right eye's shocked from the light... My eye felt as though they're wearing shades... It's a weird feeling... 1 eye no shade, the other with shades... WEIRD...

Doc then went on to see my reports and initially he told me tt the reports are sufficient to mark me as a PES C... Upon hearing tt... I totally freak out!!! I seriously DO NOT want to do any vocational training...

However, the doc continued to state tt unless he has the updated reports on my eye condition, he can't give me an E... When I thought tt all hope is lost till I obtain the updated info, I suddenly realised tt they did have the updated reports!!! I pointed it to the doc and this is what he said...

'Okay, find... I'll give you an E...'

Woot!!! I was like mentally screaming happily, rejoicing... Satisfied with my PES(T) result and from ogling @ all those hunks @ [CMPB], I decided to head over to [Tiong Bahru Plaza] to pamper myself with some high quality ice-cream... Yummy [Venezia]!!! *Laughs*

Hohoho... I'm so easy to be pleased... I just need hunks, good luck and good news... Tt's all... Now if only I have a bf... Then I'll definately be @ cloud nine... .. No, scratch it... I'll be @ cloud infinity... LOL!!!

Thoughts...

Yes, I'm back again... I should be studying but the computer is just too enticing, let alone the mushroom icon... @ least I managed to pry muself away from the mushroom world and blog...

So what if I'm totally in love with the mushroom icon??? Sue me!!!

Anyway, now tt I'm not putting on a facade, walking around as a magician, killing monsters, let me type down my thoughts and whatever I feel like pouring out to the website tt's currently staring @ me from a LCD panel...

I was in sch today... For [Phy] consultation... It was sort of compulsory... It was a little helpful cause I didn't do much revision for [Phy] and have almost nth to consult the teacher... @ least I did the paper tt she gave us and tt gave me something to consult... Oh and plus the [Common Test] papers as well... LOL... I'm freaking out over the fact tt I've got nth to consult while the rest are freaking out because they have TOO MANY THINGS to consult... How weird can I get???

The lesson's finally over, after lunch tt is... The class ordered pizza but surprisingly, I didn't eat (hence I didn't pay)... Instead, I went out to buy some waffles... Tt's so much cheaper lor... Can you imagine??? 2 slices of pizza for $6?! And the pizza's not the the stuffed crust type!!! For just an additional $1, I could have a small 4 slices of pizza, 1 soup of the day and 1 coke... Tt's why it's so not worth the deal to eat in sch with the rest of the class... Furthermore, 2 slices is not enough for a glutton like me... Don't admire me for being able to stay slim... I'm NOT SLIM!!! The amt of hidden fats hidden beneath the clothes is scary... And the fats are stores @ the most unwelcomed places of my body... *sigh*

Headed to [Yellow] to look for my engagement ring (ya, right) and I'm shocked tt a simple ring can cost anywhere from $12++ to $20++!!! But do I give a damn??? Nope... I don't... In the end, I settled for a sliver $15.90 ring, with my name engraved on it + a sliver cloth to maintain my ring... The final cost??? A whooping $20.90... Now this is a shock to all... [~LeiLa~] actually bear to part with his $20 for a simple ring!!! As a matter of fact, as long as I like it... The cost is insignificant to me... And this is scaring me... I think this incident is even more frightening than the previous one... Where I bought a bag for $108...

Now let's skip to the future first before going to the present... Tml.. I'll be going to [CMPB] once more to have my eyes checked... If anyone ask me how I make my way to the toilet in my house in the middle of the night again, I'll swear I'll answer either of these options...

1. 'I use my legs, obviously...'
2. 'I teleport there like [NightCrawler] from [X-Men]'
3. 'I turn on the lights, duh...'
4. 'Tt's my house you're talking abt... What do you think?!'

3 out of 4 options all have sarcasm... Guess when it comes to anything with regards to this 4 letter word ARMY, I'm Mr. Sarcastic or Mr. PMS... LOL... Now, what if the doctor as to keep my orignal copy of my med. documents??? This is how I'll reply...

'No can't take them... I pay for tt documents...' And if he thinks tt the documents are fake... 'Of course I pay for the documents... I don't think [SNEC] will actually print such a document like tt straight off the counter and give it to me FOC...'

I don't think I'll get to use tt cause I really think tt the guys there have much more intelligence... I'll give them more credit than they deserve 1st... This'll give me the opportunity to condemn them on my next entry if they make some dumb remarks... *sinister laugh*

Anyway, here's a little story telling... To kill time...

.
.
.
.
.

I was lv. 48 and very happy as I could finally get to [Ludibrium] and enjoy the fun of playing with toys!!!

But do I want to play with toys??? No~... I simply cannot resist the allure of seeing ghostly clocks... After all, I'm a cleric and it's my duty to eliminate evil!!! I'm suddenly @ lv. 49 already...

I close my eyes and said a prayer for them...

Before using my holy magic to excocise them from the face of this world... But more just keep appearing!!!

Spent, I headed to some warped dimension to have a rest before continuing my duties to protect the world from those evil!!!

Fragments Of Memories...

You must be thanking the deities tt I'm not complaining abt [CMPB] again... Since it's over, I'll just let it pass... It's useless bringing up what I detest the most over and over again... Tt'll make me 1 very unhappy & crappy person... Ya... So I'll let my nostalgic self take over...

I was @ [Swensen's] the day before with [Sis] and [Mum]... Not having lunch there... We've just won ourselves a $10 discount coupond so we've decided to have some desserts there... Ain't it obvious tt we're gonna eat ice-cream??? Yummy...

Ordered 1 serving of fries for everyone to share, [Mum] had the soup of the day, [Sis] shared the waffle ice-cream with [Mum] and I had 3 scoops of ice-cream all to myself!!! *Evil laughter*... I'm so greedy... After all, I do have a knack for sweet stuff...

I ordered a [Double Berry] - strawberry ice cream with layers of blueberry topping and peach chunks complement ol' fashioned vanilla ice cream (I just cut & paste the description from the menu)... It's not tt delicious cause the topping isn't all tt sweet... The fries was nice though... ^_^

As I was eating my dessert, I was thinking abt how starting eating such ice-cream... The person who introduced me to the ice-cream... I was thinking abt [YS] and the time went we went to [Swensen's] after watching [Twin's Effect II] @ [JP]... You should be amazed by my memory... Still capable of remembering the details even though it has been 2 yrs...

I remembered tt she played a prank on my and I dumbly fell for it... Dumb me... Blame me for being naive... She told me tt if you add chilli and tomato sauce together, it's actually an exothermic reaction, i.e heat will be evolved... Not believing, she added the 2 sauce together and I placed my hand over the mixture... PIAK!!! The next thing I know, my hand's smeared with the mixture... @ least she had a nice time playing the trick on me... And I didn't feel mad...

I had an enjoyable time... And it was fun while it lasted, before she told me some rather unplesant news... Tt she and him are attached... Nice huh... It's like some atomic bomb just came smashing straight into my being... Btw, I'm still recovering from the radiation tt's being emmited from the blast...

Tt aside, 8 days have passed since [YH] left for her hols in [China]... And this is weird... Normally, it doesn't really matter where she is cause we won't be meeting up... She's in poly and I'm in JC... We hardly have the time to chat... Yet when she's on her hols, I've this emptyness feeling once in a while... Probably cause I've no one to chat with on the phone, no one to SMS to when I'm bored, no tags from her on my tag board... The feeling's just different... I think tt's the result of having too much time on your hand and not wanting to study...

*Sigh* I shall not ponder any more abt any issues or else I'll think more abt the pass... Here's more food-for-thought...

If I'm to advertise my hunt for a BF...
L >> BF tt's caring, protective, sensitive to my feelings, doesn't despise the handicapped, hug-able, good-looking, always have a listening ear, do have a sense of hunour, can start a conversation... If I have more wants, I'll add them... Tt's all for now...

Tt's demanding right??? Now let's see what I have to offer...
S >> Guy tt's 40% feminine, afraid of virtually all kinda insects, likes to be hugged, isn't all tt good looking, a little lame, doesn't like shopping, likes mapling, sucks @ DOTA, partially blind, need security, very emotional... Ya... Tt's abt it... Think I'll find a partner???

CMPB Revisited...

A little background info before we proceed...

PES A - Fit for all operational vocations
PES B - Fit for most operational vocations
PES C - Fit for some operational and service vocations
PES D - Temporary unfit and pending further medical review
PES E - Fir for sedentary deployment
PES F - Unfit for any form of service

Yupz... You should have a rough idea what is the issue @ hand here... To those not having a clue to what I'm writing, I'm talking abt the medical grades tt guys are being pasted with once their med check-up's done... Btw, we not talking abt just a grade... Somehow, the boys take big pride on what letter they're being associated with... Figures...

I'm kicking up a big fuss here cause I've nth better to do now and I don't wanna watch TV... If you can't stand me whining, then go search for some other manly blogs... Yes, my other half has offically taken over (for now tt is)... Congrates!!!

Back to the point... I was @ tt wretched CMPB and I overheard a guy (not my type cause he's to sporty and he look anti-gay) bragging to his friend tt he's [PES A]... His friends are PES B, not tt it'll make much difference... Hey, an 'A' is always regarded as top, you know, THE BEST...

Thank goodness I do not know him and neither is he my friend (I'll never associate with those kinda guys... I'll never click with them...) or else I'll be the laughing stock in their gang cause I'm currently being associated with a 'D', not tt I mind or give a damn abt it...

Frankly speaking, when it comes to sports, I'm not stressed up on failing since I'm never good @ any sports and never will be cause I never will want to... Imagine all those sweat!!! Ewww!!! Talking abt major detoxification... I'm not against detox... But when guys do the sweating thing, they douse themselves in so much deodorant, they could've empty the whole can in just a spray... What's worse, the diffusion of those deodorant particales gags me... So hate those guys...

I've lamented enough... I'll stop complaining abt tt day... Wow... It's just a day and I've so much negativity to talk abt... Imagine the disdain I habour on [NS]... Anyway... I feel like I'm suffering from a kinda split-personality disorder... 1 side of me is the one who's only thinking abt playing, studying and dislikeing sports... The other side of me is the side tt's thinking abt guys and disliking sports... I'm trying to strike a balance here but the gay side of me is getting more powerful by the day... The urge to find a bf is getting harder and harder to resist... The thought of asking a guy for his hp no. keeping popping into my mind like some kinda idiotic pop-ad...

Guess I should seek out [Professor X] and get him to do the mind thingy, tossing the gay side of me to the back of my mind and be unlocked only when I'm being consumed by a flood... Or I could control tt side of myself till I'm done with my [NS]... Tt's 3 yrs we're talking abt and I might just go bonkers... ^_^

CMPB...

The accused waited nervously in his seat, fidgeting every other second as beads of sweat started to form on his forehead... Murmurs could be heard from the jury's direction... This is it, thought the accused, they're going to announce their decision... Anytime now...

True enough, a representative of the jury submited the decision to the judge and the judge took a look @ the decision and smiled... The accused was hyperventilating now... He knew he's doomed... The consequence of being framed for murder is the death penalty... The accused shut his eyes and waited for the judge to announce the verdict... It's either guilty or not guilty, thought the accused (fei hua!!!)... Just make it quick gawdamnit!!!

'The jury has yet to come to a decision and the trial will be postpone to the following week,' boomed the voice from above... The accused did a double-take... He hadn't heard wrongly has he??? He's safe, yet not totally safe, for now... There was a hint of a smile as he was lead back to his cell admist the chaos tt the witnesses are creating upon hearing the annoucement, condemning the jury...

The above scenerio is the emotional roller-coaster tt I've been through today... I was apprehensive when I was on my way towards the [Central Manpower Base] (CMPB)... You can say tt the apprehension was so strong tt I'm on the verge of breaking down in public like some lunatic... Thankfully I didn't or else I wouldn't be typing this anyway... You might be wondering why would I be afraid as it's just a medical screening... Ya... It is JUST a medical screening which I'VE NEVER BEEN TO before... This is my 1st time and since when did 1st time DIDN'T carry the connotation of afraid??? You're afraid when you enter K1, afraid when you go to a new sch and start your 1st day there... Now don't tell me you've never been through tt phase as tt'll be a load of bull... Yes, I'm digressing...

Back to the pt... I'm afraid as yes, it's my 1st time and the root of the fear is the thought of stripping... After all, it is a full-body check-up and the last time I came across tt word, taking off your clothes is a must... So pior to today, I actually tried to talk myself into loving my body... But when I'm abt to accept tt my body isn't tt worst off as compared to any ordinary guy tt you can simply pick off from the street, the Demon Of Fear just have to visit me and insert images of a crowded CMPB, where everyone is snickering @ me... So tt's where my major freaking out came abt... Welcome to my insecure life...

Ya... I finally arrived @ CMPB @ abt 0930 hrs (my appointment's @ 1000 hrs), talk abt being early... And I actually chanced upon [Gen]!!! Surprise!!! So both of us entered building together and I've noticed something... The soldiers there lack hospitality... So maybe it's a place where you research for upgrades on defenses... But knowing tt there'll be visitors, couldn't they show some hospitality??? Like put a smile on your face and don't buzz us off with a wave of your finger for instance... How impolite... Tt's -10 on a scale of 0 to 10 on the hospitality scale...

Uh huh... [Gen] & I finally made our way into CMPB and we just followed instructions on where to go, what to do, stuff like tt... And I tell you... Those ppl there sure have a bad impression of almost everyone, fancy treating everyone of us like convicts... We're still studying or have just completed our studies... We're still the pure and innocent teenagers mind you, even though we're 18... Hey, in my context, 18 = teenager on the road to maturity...

Back to the pt... In CMPB, we have our photos taken first, with us wearing some kinda cadet-like shirt... Guess tt's for our identification when we surrender our IC as we enter NS... Then we register for the med check-up...

Med check-up... Stage 1's to test our hearing, not much of a problem there cause I'm not exactly deaf, though sometimes I appear to be... Stage 2's the eye check-up and this is the 'climax'... I shall devote a paragraph solely for this...

The examiners consist of 3 guys and a gal and only the gal give good vibes... The rest of the guys are cold towards us or doesn't even notice our ([Gen], me and some other guy whom I've never met... Probably from poly, rides a bike and is rather hot...) exsistance...

'Do you have any medical problems tt you would like to report???' The gal asked in a very polite tone... See??? Good vibes... The guys are just slacking anyway... Tsk...

I raised my hands and passed them all the documents tt I have... Guy #1 looked @ it and exclaimed, 'RP!!! Tt's a rare one...'

@ this pt of time, Guy #2 turns around and there's a look of EXCITEMENT (can you believe it?!) on his face... 'Wah!!! Surely must be those wanna escape NS one lor (bull's eye)... But RP!!! Tt's serious... 1st time seeing this case leh...' Then more talking b/w gal, Guy #1 & #2... Can't be bothered to listen anyway... Guy #2 looked @ my documents and turned to me and asked, with EXCITEMENT still plastered on his face, so can you see the outline of your bed w/o the lights???

'No... I can't even see a thing...' (DUH!!! Tt's why it's stated tt I have night blindness right?!)

'Then how can you go to the toilet @ night???'

With irritation, I replied curtly, 'I feel my way to the toilet...' (If you can't see, the next thing is to either on the lights or feel your way through... After all, IT IS MY HOUSE...) Actually, I should've replied tt I used my legs and walk to the toilet (obvious right?!)...

So what's the fuss??? For starters, when you encounter a person with a problem tt you've never even heard of, the reponse should be of CONCERN, NOT EXCITEMENT... They're acting like they've seen their idol or something, and are dying for a signature... Sheesh!!! Idiotic!!! I so feel like slapping their faces... Is not being able to see @ night such a good thing??? Is having my eye problem so interesting?! NO IT IS NOT!!! It's not when you keeping bumping into small kids and knocking them down and they cry, or you bump into ppl as they cut your path, or when you kick a chair tt's in the middle of the classroom, or when you smash your face into a tree trunk @ night, or when you fall into a drain in broad daylight or have someone to be your 3rd pair of eyes (I already have 2 pairs of eyes)... It's not interesting, not fun... Unless you are some sadistic psycho tt think tt being in pain is fun... *shivers*

There, pressure gone and I shall continue the check-up... Stage 3's urine and blood test (officer not friendly as well), Stage 4's dental, Stage 5's X-ray (officer quite friendly) and this is where you have to take off your top... So it's nice having to see some nice bods and not nice when the eyes are on my fair-yet-tainted-by-red-blotches skin... Oh and did I mention tt it's air-conditioned???

Stage 6's the body check-up... We're supposed to strip to our shorts only and do whatever tt tehy tell us to do... I can't get any more insecure than tt... Staring @ all those nice bods + nice face = almost let my gay half take over... I manage to control, thankfully... The last part of Stage 6's the consultation with some doc and he's one tt'll ask you take off everything, be in the buff... He'll ask you to cough and inspects you... Don't know what's it abt... Then he'll fire off a string of questions tt goes something like, have you taken drugs... esctasy... having tattoes... ketamine, being homosexual... ... I only manage to catch those words and the answer tt came outta my mouth is a simple 'no'... Once tt's done, I'm to proceed to Stage 7, where they'll ask you to sit in front (duh) of a com and do answer some qus...

The qus ranges from simple algebra, calculations, number sequences to Physics concept, memory work, analytical skills, imagination to your personal perferences... LOL... Wonder how they'll respond to my personal prefrences answers... Tt section gives 2 choices per qus and it goes something like...

1. I would like to try sky-diving...
2. I would never try to jump out of an airplane with or w/o a parachute...

So for tt qus which option do you think I'll choose??? It's obvious right??? Ya, and the respond's the same for every other of those similar qus...

.

Wow... Can you believe it, tt's the whole of my med check-up and tt lasted for a shocking 5 hrs!!! Thank gawd it's over... Wait, no... It's not... I have to return there on 22/06 to have my eyes checked... ARGHH!!!

NS, NS, NS, NS, NS!!!

'Eat faster, if not, how are you going to survive NS???'
'You should eat vegetables, if not, how can you survive NS???'
'I think you do more pumping... So as to prepare yourself for NS...'
'You're even afraid of an ant??? How can you survive NS?!'
'Shawn, you should train now because additional 3 mths is hell...'

The list goes on... Seriously, can't my life be 'NS-free' for a week?! No, scratch tt, make tt a mth... Zzz... I'm so stressed out by all those NS talk... All those nagging and advice tt I should perpare myself... Haven't they figure it out tt I'm turning both my deaf ears to all those incessant nagging??? *Sigh* Is it just me or is the world getting stupid???

Gee... All I want to say is tt can't those ppl shut up for once and stop reminding me of the impending doom tt I'm abt to witness first-hand?! *Exsperated* *Pause* Oh, wait, the world is getting more retarded!!! Let me explain... I'm supposed to head over to [CMPB] for my NS medical checkup... And the ppl there changed the building name w/o reflecting it on the brochures tt they issue out!!! So how on [Mother Nature] can normal civilains locate the place?! Sheesh!!! Is it just me thinking tt NS erase the part of your brain tt's responsible for common sense??? After all, the men are programmed to follow orders, not ponder over it... *More thinking*

.
.
.
.

Oh gawd!!! This is my worse nightmare!!! In abt a yr's time, I'm going to be transformed into the type of guys tt I so destest!!! I'm so not going to thinking abt the other traits tt I'll be influenced into having... *Seriously grossed out*

And did I mention tt the HQ sent me a mail reminding me of my check-up on [Monday] yesterday??? I didn't... And did I tell you tt they sent me another SMS to remind me of the same old thing??? I didn't... But I did now and here's my conclusion: Either they think tt I'm a person having short term memory (which fortunately I'm not, unlike someone else) or they have too much time on their hands... No matter which case, I would like to thank them for their concern and reminder but it's so not necessary... Pls don't spoil my day, no matter what time it is!!! It's the hols now, I'm trying to relax and not thinking abt work and NS and here you are slapping me back into reality... Thanks a lot... *scarcasm*

I'm so totally pissed off tt I can throw a bitch-fit...

Inspired By [FearLess]...

Frankly speaking... Which girl or guy will fall for me??? As in, will be crushing on me??? Ya, some might say tt there'll be tt 'special one'... Yet in my own opinion, I doubt so... With the fats being stored @ the most unwanted place on my body, thunder tights, bowling pin figure, tell me, who would fancy tt??? Whoever say tt the abovementioned is appealing should have their eyes checked @ SNEC... Or be certified blind...

In other words, I'm saying tt if I were to be ranked on the attractive scale, I'll probably be placed on the 'Absolute Zero' position... If tt explaination isn't enough to convince you of me being worty for tt position... Try this... I'm seriously a product tt [Mother Earth] so desperately wants to get rid off... Who will be in the right mind will want to fall for the guy who doesn't reciporate your feelings??? And who can be so hopelessly afraid as to give a person a call?! Sheesh!!! Such a total failure... No wonder I deserve only to hide behind tons of curtains and to expect of the impossible... What an idiot I am...

So be so appalled by what was written... I'm only trying to remind myself tt I should get on with life, concentrate on the impending exams and not let my lack of relationship affact me... Ya, of all the time to let tt insignificant problem affect me the most, it just have to be @ such a time... Wonder what else is [Fate] is planning to throw @ me... Hmmm... Suddenly I realised tt I'm a big contradiction on my own... Have you ever noticed tt despite me being desperate for a relationship, I'm, in fact, not ready for one??? LOL... Welcome to my demented world...

*Takes deep breath*... Guess I'm getting more fascinated by the style of writing by the writer of the series [FearLess]... Before I sign off for this nonsensical post, here's a food for thought... It's believed tt the hairs on the human body is to keep us warm... But of all the places to have an abundance of it, why must it always be @ places where we'll have our clothes on over those areas??? Yes, cringe all you want... But do ponder abt it... I'm signing off now...

SNEC...

Headed to [Singapore National Eye Centre] (SNEC) for my eye checkup... It's an annual affair, so no need to be too concern or anything...

I was expecting the usual procedures, where they check my peripheral vision, eye pressure & sight... Yet they didn't do all of tt... Instead, they checked my eye pressure & sight only... Funny huh, doing tt 2 things have to drag for like 2 hrs... Yet when you visit any specs shop, you could get the above mentioned done in like an hour... Well, SNEC's the best in [S'pore] after all and it's crowded in there...

When it's consultation time with the doc, she checked my retina once again and repeated her speech regarding my eye condition us once again like she did the year before and the year before tt... It's the usual, you know, tt my side vision is narrowing and I should eat more fruits, veggies and exercise more so tt I can obtain more antioxidants to slow down the degradation process... Moreover, it's after all still not advisable for me to have high dosage of Vitamin A and whatever they'll prescribe to me cause those will affect my liver *gulp*...

My point??? It's the usual routine... Yet I hate the part when I have to dilate my pupils... I become far-sighted as everything nearer than 30 cm from my eyes instantly becomes a blur and I feel like a flare has exploded right in front of me... The surrounding has it's brightness adjusted to the max, it's freaking bright... Not a good experience... Thank goodness tt only lasts for 2 hrs max...

My eye condition got me thinking... Since the doctor has already given me the death-sentance, tt I'll be downgraded when I'm serving NS (yes, I'm destined to do NS after all), doing those 9 to 5 kinda jobs, I guess I better stop wishing tt my eye sight worsen... Such negativity, you muse... Yet my mindset before this is to try to skip NS @ all cost... Now I figure tt I better make my life as meaningful before all is lost... Better study hard, get into exam mood, stop obsessing abt relationships, etc...

Noticed tt I used 'obsessing' for the relationship probs tt I'm facing (I'm not in a relationship and tt itself is a prob)... This is because I'll never stop worrying abt tt... Face it... Which sane human would not care abt relationships @ any pt in life??? So as I was saying, I should stop obsessing and move on... It's ironic but this thought actually flashed through my mind... Tt the reason I don't wanna go blind so fast is because I wanna see him... Okay, [YH], you can seriously slap me... [Cass] and [SH] too... I think you can use a sledgehammer and hit me to oblivation...

Now this brings me to yet another pt... Tt I'm currently unable to move on because I still have hope... Now is hope a good or bad thing??? Some may insist tt it's good because when there's hope, there'll be miracles... Like when disaster stikes, you'll hope tt you and all your love ones are safe and sound... Now this kinda hope is overtly good... Yet when you hope for things tt will never be yours in your entire life, hope morphs into some hideous monster tt's out to devour you... It becomes twisted and foul, an entity tt you will wish to stangle and kill and escape from it's grasp as soon as possible... Now you do know why it comes from [Pandora's Box]...

P.S: I'm not so great to actually potray hope like this... I actually got my inspiration from the book [Fearless]... It's a good book, with a little humour, good phrases and an unique way of writing... ^_^

Pot Luck!!!

It's not an every day thingy tt such events can be organised... Everyone must be free, we must be prepared to bring food and who's bring what... All these were settled within a wk and it's decided tt we'll be having the pot luck @ [Dar]'s... This is our [June] outing activity as well as to celebrate XP's b-day!!! Haha... She's finally 17... Yay!!!

Anyway, here're the much anticipated pics tt you've been looking forward to... I'll put the pics first before crapping more... LOL...

These are the before and after decorating the cake... Don't think tt just because it's plain-looking, it won't be nice... Looks can be deciving... Tt cake's fantastic!!! I've never tasted such decilious homemade cheesecakes before!!! Way to go [YQ]!!!

The pot luck started with the cake followed by the food... The food's too much though as almost everyone bought 1 dish... There's curry, green bean soup, bee hoon, agar agar, salad, the cake, chips, drinks and tons of baby chicken wings... I think tt's enough for like 30 ppl or so... We even bought a can of [Tiger Beer] and used tt to play 'zong ji mi mah'... Haha, opps!!! Uh, this's just b/w me and whoever's reading this... Don't disclose it!!! Oh and [YH], pardon me if my han yu's wrong okay...!!! Furthermore, look @ us eating like there's no tml!!!

Individual pics of almost everyone... Now where's [Darrell] & [Yuling]???

There they are!!! It's so hard to take a photo of them!!! They keep evading my camera... Haha, but don't you know tt I'm go @ taking photos on the sly??? LOL...

Well, tt's abt it... My verdict??? This gathering isn't tt exciting as compared to the rest... A little lack of excitement... Probably due to our limitations... We can't play the planned H2O bombs due to the security guards...

He didn't turn up as expected... But could he @ least have the decency to reply to my SMSes?! @ least give me an indication of your decision since I'm the one asking him... And no I'm not angry @ him... Okay, maybe so I am... But the anger will not last over 24 hrs... He just has this effect on me...

Lastly, I wanna thanks [XP] for the wonderful [Angel] poster as well as those [X-Men 3] 4R cards!!! I'm so gonna scan them and use them as my display pic on [MSN]!!!

The Hols' Finally Here!!!

It's not tt the workload's lesser now tt the hols are finally here... In fact, the workload just seems to have doubled... Reckon the education system's thinking is this: Since it's the hols, the students will have more time to do their revision, catch up on what they're lagging behind... Sheesh!!! Have they ever been kids before?!

So to hell with the sch stuff... It's the hols and I'll just blog abt the fun stuff... Let's start with [Sun], [28/05]... I met up with [SM] and we headed to [SunTec] via bus 700... Guess he's really right after all... It is faster... I think the journey's only abt 45 mins or so??? Once there, we took the lift to the 3rd floor, where the cinema is... While we were walking there, [SM] was complaining abt how high the 3rd floor is and it's not literally the 3rd floor, more like the 6th floor or something, considering tt the celling's all so high... Once we bought the ticket already, we ventured to find lunch and we settled down on [Pastamania], my recommendation... The pasta's not very nice... Not tt it's horrible or anything... It's just tt the sauce's a wee bit too sour... Maybe it's only tt branch but I think I'll eat pizza the next time...

Once the lunch's over, we went back to the 3rd floor where the arcade is and we spent some time and money there... [SM] played [Marvel VS Capcom 2] again and he dominated tt game yet another time... I guess he's has reached god-like status in tt game le... Even when another player challenged him, [SM] totally trashed the challenger lor... And I don't think the challenger's a noob... I mean, no one in their right mind will challenge another unless they think tt they're worthy first right??? Make sense much???

Once it's abt time, we headed to watch [X-Men 3]!!! The movie rocks when it comes to the special effects... But in the character development niche, it's poorly done... To cite an example, what happened to [Mystique] afte she confessed to the cops??? Did she get jailed or something for the atrocities tt she had committed??? What abt the [Kitty], [Iceman] and [Rogue]??? How did the triangle relationship end??? What abt [Pyro] after being hit on the head hard with ice??? Questions aside, I would wanna say tt [Jean] rocks!!! [Phoenix]'s relly powerful!!! Tt's 1 awesome power tt I would like to possess and be in control of it... Sheesh!!! I don't wanna end up like some possessed being when the full potential is unleashed... And neither do I wanna go psycho as well...

Once the credits ended and we viewed the short 'coda' tt majority of the ppl missed, we headed to the [World Book Fair]... Our main aim's [Celestial Zone] as usual... But we took a walk and viewed every exhibition anyway... I even tried the popcorns!!! It's really been a very, very long time since I've had them... If tt's not enough, I even went back down to get some [Gelato] ice-cream before going back to the 4th floor to collect the purchases tt we've made... I bought a [Celestial Zone] poster ($10) and [SM] bought tt plus keychains off all the characters in the comic!!! All the versions!!! Serious pics, Q version and even the latest [Celestial Zone 21]!!! A whooping $61 in total!!! Such a true fan of [TCZ]!!!

Fast forward to today, I headed to [Causeway Point] alone to watch [The da Vinci's Code]... You might think tt it's very pathetic... But this is in fact the 2nd time I'm watching a movie by myself... It's no big deal... Face it... When you're engrossed in a movie, I don't think you'll notice who's beside you anyway...

My verdict for the movie??? It's not exactly tt bad like what majority's saying... So they cut short how the cryptex's solved... And there's a lot of talking... But how can you expect them to reply the past??? The only way they can show the past back is to narrate them... We can't be so demanding and expect the impossible... Oh and I find [Silas] mesmerising... W/o the self-mutilation of ocurse... Such nice eyes and such fair skin!!! OMG!!!

Hmmm... I guess tt's abt it le... Unhappy things should be kept here and should be forgotten... Don't wanna talk abt it anyway... ^_^
