Hello world. Its been a crazy month or so of break from school. Pretty downright crazy considering i only had 19 posts the whole of last year and yet this month alone i had enough content for more than 10. And what are we but only half way through June?
And like the day that passes from one to the next, so do some friends. An old day passes, a new day arrives. Sometimes they take their time to land at your doorstep. And like the dusk that takes its time to fade into morning dawn, you take your time to open them up, get to know them better. Other times however they fall straight into your lap from nowhere like a great big christmas present that has come too early. And you find yourself taken by surprise at how familiar they seem, and yet so new, and just how much you suddenly can't stand to be without them. And when you are, you can't think about anything else but when you're gonna see them again.
They always say that the best presents come in the smallest packages. I say that the best friends are found in the most unlikely of situations, for there is, afterall, really no better prize than one thats a surprise.
But as with all new beginnings, one can't help but wonder how long your shiny little bubble will last. Seasons come and seasons go. And if one thing's for certain on this stage, it'ld be that change will always come around, knock knock knocking on your dressing room door.
So don't pop the champagne just yet little ones. Brace yourselves and stay on the nice list. Hold on tight and don't let go. Sink your teeth in if you must. Santa may have been in a giving mood this year, but when his mind is cleared of leftover eggnog and whiskey from christmas past, he'll come to collect his tidings if he sees you on the naughty list.
Btw Santa, if you're reading, I want a bulldog for christmas this year.
Just like the seasons, people have the ability to change. Sometimes it takes what's broken becoming whole again. Sometimes, it takes opening up to new people and letting them in. It doesnt happen very often, but when it does... it's almost always right.
You fought your way up to the wall But you havent gone past at all While gazing with tear filled eyes You just cant help but ask why If trying hard is what it takes Then why does it feel like a mistake? The world has taken its side You just wanna run away and hide
Its tough Theres no one to turn to I hear screaming inside you Feels like hells all youve been through Hells all youve been through
Hold on Dont stop your breathing I see your dreams and I feel them too Hold on Dont lose your faith I know you cant break Im hoping and praying for you
All your peace seems far away But you know there comes a day When everythings so bright All the darkness you feel subsides And in the rising of the sun You can finally say its done The world will take your side And your heart will start to shine
I will Be holding on to you There is nothing you cant do I will try to be strong Will try to be strong so
Hold on Dont stop your breathing I see your dreams and I feel them too Hold on Dont lose your faith I know you cant break Im hoping and praying for you
Ill never let go of you Ill never let go of you Ill never let go of you, of you
Hold on Dont stop your breathing I see your dreams and I feel them too Hold on Dont lose your faith I know you cant break Im hoping and waiting for you
Someone whose smile, makes me feel I've been holding back
And now there's nothing I can't do."
A house OGL & AOGL dinner last night at holland v Crystal Jade! Steamboat and XIAO LONG BAO buffet!!!! Do you hear that do you hear that??........ AWESOMENESS.
My table which consisted of me, dudley, kris, samuel, ashton and jasmine had 23 longs of xlb ourselves. Not including the heaps of steamboat we also ordered, and probably gallons of barley we drank. I think the waitresses thought we were crazy. Either that or we haven't eaten for a week. To think they were worried at first that we'ld waste food when they saw our order slip, pestering us to read the "Save our Planet" notice.
Dud's ecstasy. Or should i say better than ecstasy.
My ah tiong and AOGL who cant figure out the chinese menu.
Steamboat steamboat. House i/c's tongue is friken long. She can almost lick her elbow. Serious.
Dud has eyes only for his curvy, smooth, juicy and well sculpted xiao long baos. I think he ate a good 10 long by himself. Thats 50 xlb dud. Monster.
My ever calm and sedate AOGL who looks like this even when everyone is rolling all over the floor laughing and disturbing Crystal Jade peace.
Kris our official prawn peeler.
The spicy soup base was a killer man. 4 out of 6 choking casualties. Jasmine kept drinking it whilst at the same time complaining that it was damn spicy and then scoops more and drinks more. No wonder the face become like that lol.
Though i was worried at first how the night might turn out since i don't really know the A house ppl, considering that i'm an 'anti-social' in school, it was really fun. hahah. The best has got to be the OG names
Ah Tiong
Ah Neh
Ah Bang
Ang Moh &
AHHthers (Others)
NICE RIGHT! ahahahhaahahahahahhaah
or maybe use all the OGL's names:
Ah Kiong
Ah Tiong
Ah Chiong
Ah Teck
& then Dud's OG Ah Kow.
Teck: "Hello freshie ah. Your house is called Ariel. Your OG is Ah Kow. and this.... Ah Teck."
LOL. wth man. We're retarded, shit.
Good luck freshies. Are you guys prepared?
One of my favourite MVs ever.
I'm walking on sunshine :) Are you? Mmmuack world!
I can't sleep. This friken sucks. And I've been trying to figure out the name of this song playing now 0n my headphones for ages. Crap what is it. Where's he when i need him. Lousy fella CANNNNNNN.
I realise that i've been an emo kid for far too long on this space. Banking too much comfort in the assumption that not many people actually do know this blog exists, i just shoot my mouth off. Haha. Nonetheless i shall try not to wear my heart on my sleeve too much like Ben says i do.
Met Ben & Felle today for lunch and tea at Food for Thought and later Illuma. One long HTHT session, which i noticed was mostly about me. Haha sorry guys for having to put up with my crap. And since i cant upload the photos on facebook, which are very nice by the way, due to certain... reasons, i shall do it here!
Food for Thought.
Awesome place, awesome food, even better company.
ILLUMA, Tea Dot
and the 4 storey escalator.
Thanks to Ben who has alot of makan lobangs!! yummy!
Its always nice to know you will always have that few friends who will never judge and always be there for you. Even though sometimes you forget them, or treat them like shit, or refuse to chat with them *coughs* on msn, or reply their *coughs* smses.
How many friends do we know will be with us till forever? How many friends will you stand up for till the end of time? Rach will work harder at being a better friend, especially those who matter most. Hils... Shu.. I miss you guys!! Kor Wes, Xiao Di and Mei... I'll always been here if you need me. You all know the hotline.
1800-SUPER-COOL-RACH.
Yea, how can i end without being at least a tad emo right? hahaha. Muacks to my loves. Sweet dreams dears.
Finding myself in the most unlikely situation, listening to a radio station, pondering over what it means to be a friend. That's what friends are for they say... what are friends for truly?
How many hurting souls are out there today? How many do we have the power to heal, to reach out and touch, and yet walk away so easily from. Who have u helped today? When was the last time you thanked those you are grateful for? The world would be a much happier place if we could all sit back for awhile, drop our work, unplug our ipods and listened to the people around us.
It makes me sad when i find someone hurting like that. All the more when it is hidden behind a front stronger than the fortifications i've built around myself, making it one truly spectacularly crazy ass facade. The more i find out, the more i feel the pain seeping through my screen.
But i know that the boy of ages past still believes that there is good. He really does. And so i will get him out, my little boy hiding under his covers... and show him that the world isn't that bad a place. Even if it means one tedious step at a time.
We can change this world one person at a time. For if each one of us tries, who can stop us?
I pray you have happy dreams my sad boy. For tommorrow will be a better day.
My cousin composed this song. Currently the no.1 on Music charts in China. I never thought i would say this but.. im proud of him. Jia you kor kor justin.

Pre Camp was a blast though 'A' house was small manpower wise. Muscles are aching at their full blown level now 24 hours after. new friends made. Thanks to my OG for an awesome time. we are so awesome. A for awesome. A - R - T - S * clap clap*
Here's the derivative gang that went to watch monsters vs aliens in 3D yesterday.
hahah. my advice is don't watch a full length movie in 3D. the novelty wears off real quickly and before you know it you take of the, albeit cool looking, 3D specs and are watching the movie as a series of blurry double images.
Kinda wish i knew what's the right thing to do. Maybe i should shut up and just leave it alone already. maybe i should.
