so i shall not dwell further and make myself more miserable. let's look ahead.
and so i wanna try to get dark-skinned, again, because i am reaching the threshold of fair-skinned-ness.
we were walking the escalators towards gv at the 6th floor when we saw 2 osim back massaging chairs at the 3rd floor. ok so lip yong and raymond went to have a try and they thought that it was really painful. then they went up to the 4th floor and had another go. i have retarded friends...
hmmm so then we went to watch STARDUST at gv. it's a really interesting movie about medieval witchcraft and there was a flying ship with traders capturing lightning to sell. how cool is that?! even though i thought that the ending was REALLY lame, well there were alot of funny moments and it's still a good movie to catch.
my family went to simpang rengam, somewhere in johor, on saturday because we were supposed to attend a concert dinner that he had organised for his singing group and fellow villagers. HAHA. it's quite a grand event actually cuz i think we had 99 tables of guests. ok la it was held in a school hall but still alot of ppl turned up for the event, and i was our table photographer for the night. :)
my niece alicia having fun. well i took hundreds of pics but i think only this one turned out good. haha
oh man my propnex course starts tml!!! needs to revise.
wanted to try out d40x while on the way to joshua's place yester...but the battery just went flat on me! wahh i think i will have to get backups soon if not it could mean disaster.
oh in service today was quite lame. really. had sop on bubble threats, talk by dr money and deeparaya celebrations (oh the epitome of boredom and lameness combined). but i guess the only nice part of the day was our little excursion to kerbau rd's chapati shop.
OK the chapati's not nice at all... haha but i really enjoyed my team mate's company, cuz i must cherish every moment with them since i am going to ord soon. argh. oh there is a new sc junkai. another new kid on the block. that's fast i had to wait 9 months for chuan's replacement but mine came even before i left. hahah lucky peter. ahaha we all thought that junkai loves skating cuz he wears skater shoes and really baggy jeans. teenagers nowadays ar...
oh cropping is fun. i think i will go to the extent of over-cropping. that's not good. stop me please.
anton and chan have been telling me to get a tripod and remote control for taking long exposure shots and night shots. oh man. that means more money to be spent. argh i guess i just have to figure out the basics first.
P S A M. they sound intimidating.
jianhao's got his camera! yep it's a nikon d40x. wheeee now i can starve for the next two months. need to get a nicer case though. probably i will when i go to taipei. HEHEEE so many things to look forward to. heeeheee. alright i shall go play with my darling camera. :D
hahahahhah just came back from josh's house and learnt a new song (home by chris daughtry) and polished up 2 old songs (jay chou's qing tian and bread's if) wheee. basically home and qing tian have the same chords just that the progression is different. will practise more yah!
oh my propnex course is coming up. am very excited about it. and i am going to ord soon. wheeee.
what a day!
oh everything went rather smoothly, other than a car fire that shane managed to put out with a working fire extinguisher, ...and this one.
there were several calls received on a lady who was sorta on a hacking spree, carrying her chopper and pair of scissors around cutting potted plants and hacking wooden doors. so when we arrived we saw this middle aged woman who was REALLY REALLY MENTALLY UNSOUND holding her weapons up high on both hands and walking towards us in a very mechanical manner (think zombies), and shouting 'i m god' and whatnots in chinese. yah nothing really makes sense except that we had to keep moving back and a distance away from her, making sure that no other residents were near her at the same time. some of the residents got really curious by looking out of their metal gates. i believe among those some of them really had suicidal tendencies.
ok so she was walking towards us proclaiming that she is god and we were retreating, partly to buy time waiting for our tl to come with his taser (f.y.i. it's an electric gun that sends really friendly electric pulses through your body :) ) i was then instructed by ramli to go to the ground floor to make sure that no one was near to get hit by any fallen objects. and then i saw tl rushing to scene. but he was one floor below the others and i guess he didn't have the slightest idea where their exact location was. i shouted for him and he seemed to have gotten the location out of nowhere. ok that's good. so i started dashing up the stairs so as not to miss a glimpse of someone getting tassed at. (how exciting!) oh well i was a tad too late as tl had already fired a shot at her, and she was already lying face down, albeit still struggling to wriggle out of this nasty situation. so sedek gave her another current. well she was really strong despite her small size and continued struggling then.
ok at this point tl spotted some of us SCs standing behind him looking on at all the excitment and drama and not really working as we should be. (well we should be pinning her to the floor by then). haha so kenna scolded. peter seemed to be rather shocked by what was happening (crazy woman chasing us with choppers, then kenna tassed.) yah and he looked really stony/stern, which i couldn't really differentiate. haha ok la in the end we managed to pin her down with nadiah pulling the needles out from her body in a very kan-chiong manner.
ya it was a job well done i guess. one less insane woman walking down the streets for all of us. :D
edwin just told me that tonight's his last tour. WTH i still have 5 more tours to go. ok it's different. i work in a busier estate as compared to his so i had to take more leaves. BLEAH.
we were sorta fooling around during carolling prac earlier on cuz there were less than 10 of us present. well we ended early and went to whampoa market opposite sandy's house. ooo the food there was fantastic. i had nasi lemak and satay and fried oyster omelette. oh man all of them were good. i had sugarcane with lemon for the first time in my life and i promised myself that i will never get a sugarcane drink without lemon in the future. :D
oh karaoke session yesterday with npc guys was great. the company was good yah. before that we had beef kway teow and fried chicken ("L"'s recommendation) which taste really good. yah i think it was the first time i was on the brink of getting really drunk, cuz the heineken really tastes like water, so i just kept pouring myself more and gulping all of it down. wheee.
was playing table tennis and badminton with yy and samuel this afternoon and i finally realised how alcohol can impede brain activity. which sucks.
oh here is the poster for bentan's 'remember me'
i just named a few of my pimples that have sprouted all over my face. two of them were famous amos and kfc. burh. think famous amos just burst 10 minutes ago. HAHA.
did lotsa readings on hdb regulations today. i am feeling kinda groggy from the reading sessions in a semi-lit room.
anyway just in case you guys didn't know yet, i have signed up for a real estate course at propnex and am currently an aspiring 20 years old real estate agent.
whee.
so...
ok some constructive work i have done in the past few days
went to bras basah with josh on wed to get a guitar with a black guitar bag. the sales assistant at the shop where i bought the guitar tried to sell me a disgustinglg gay blue bag, so i decided to bump around some more and finally got a black one. yay i am still learning qing tian and can't find guitar tabs that are easy enough for me. :(
had team dinner yest and saw a lot of the former scs who have already ord-ed. hahha ate a lot and then we went to the hari raya bazaar to take a look. it was mu first time in a malay bazaar and it was an eye opener. the baju kurongs for the ladies are really exquisite. shall get one for my girlfriend soon.
and i finished reading harry potter and the deathly hallows. FINALLY. now i know who died. nobody can threaten me with spoilers anymore! :D
there's a dim sum session at ecp tml afternoon with chorale peeps. yay. hunger hunger hunger hunger.
haven't touched photoshop for ages. just managed to finish bentan's movie poster. still wondering which one is nicer. hmmm.
yay had a great day today.
went for guitar lessons at joshua's house. MUAHAHAHAHA all the girls are going to be mesmerised by me!! :D
went to vivo to shop with peter. hahaha bought a grey shirt at gap. whee
went to amk hub to have dinner with my family at soup restaurant. been such a long time since i really enjoyed dinner. hahaha family bonding rocks :D and my niece alicia is getting prettier. her eyes can talk.
alright alright jianhao it's time to think and plan ur life...
ok i was talking to chan about what to do in the future, so i came out with a outline about what to do in my life in the near future
i was tourist for a day when i went to shenton way yesterday. so many tall buildings! however on my way to city hall via the esplanade from shenton way i had to pass by the singapore river, and i must say that it was actually quite smelly still. we need to have more green-ing projects.
for those of u who have forgotten how i look like,
presenting to u mr tourist boy. it was so bright i had to squint even when i look down.
it has gotten rather chilly nowadays, which is good actually. i suspect all the bus drivers turned the bus air conditioning temperatures to 16 deg celcius. it was brrr-cold. and i didn't have any jacket or extra clothing to cover my shivering body.
talk about feeling cold in singapore! what if it snows in the lion city?
i am not ready for the big world out there...
the comp took so bloody long to startup. :(
ANYWAY i was at macritchie area earlier in the morning attending to some case which i believe is either housebreak-in, over-suspicions or X-FILES. haha yah i got bitten on 4 spots over both arms the moment i stepped outside the house. when i was in the house, i caught one mosquito landed stealthily onto my right arm and my left hand instinctively slapped on it. blood just sorta oozed out of it's big fat abdomen. HOWEVER, the scary thing is that it's legs have WHITE lines, similar to those of an aedes mosquito. the bad thing is i might have already caught the dengue virus, the good thing is that i am still going strong and feeling alive. YAY shall see what happens tomorrow.
arGH itchy.
Some of the things i did:
1. queued up for donuts at donut factory
the queue took me an hour plus and i had donuts for dinner. people keep saying i suffered from sugar rush that night all through the following day
2. asian voice symposium with vc and vjc choir (carmina burana). had a really rushy afternoon trying to find ties. thank god gabriel went to borrow some from our vj juniors. thanks.
3. dinner at lao beijing at novena square. the sweet and sour fish and prawns and brocolli were really good. I like the duck meat wrapped in egg rolls too.
4. went for pre-ord medical checkup at old tracom and managed to meet up with the other cheeseburgers. went to j8 to eat with yee teck and edwin in the morning, and to orchard with daryl and kenneth in the evening.
5. managed to do the itinery for taipei trip at the end of the year. YES i am going to taipei. need anything from there just tell me.
i think bound as one is the 'in' word now for vc.
yah had a wonderful time during in song concert. thanks to all vc people for making it a really special night. yah it was my first in song and i guess i was really nervous throughout the concert. afraid of so many things like the awfully difficult-to-remember lyrics, weird note intervals for certain songs and the choreography. i was holding on to the chopsticks with my life and was very scared that they would just slip out of my hands. i guess i have chopstick phobia now.
oh was it the lightbulb or was it a ballon that burst?
