Nothing ever happens the same way twice.
"She's a meanie beanie." - Lil, Rugrats
My fault. So many things. My fault. Even this. My fault, not yours. Sorry. Tired.
Hmm, last Sunday was Louise's birthday celebration. It was fun. Went to Marina Square. At first we tried to get a seat at Marina Mandarin Hotel's Aquamarine for buffet, but apparently they were fully booked. Nobody wants to entertain a bunch of kids in polo-tee yeah? Haha. So we went to Yuki-yaki instead, some Jap buffet place. It was kinda like Seoul Garden, except more spluttery. Louise and I kept getting spluttered on. Marilyn was scared to even cook. Haha. Then Eunice kena even though she wasn't doing anything. Super hilarious. Yeah, after so much beef, we went to have DIY ice-cream. A really interesting experience, making our own ice-cream. Spam all sorts of toppings, and everyone tried to spike my drink. Zzz. Haha. Yeah, Louise treated us. So nice of her, despite all the financial complaints we were making. Thanks yeah? =)
Thursday, spent the entire evening with SFG filming the stuff for our prototype. Had a lot of laughs. Quite cool, I think. Jason made an additional paper prototype. Good la, but I think it kinda defeats the purpose if there's no number-crunching. After all, that's what prototypes are for. Sold my Bamboo Fun the next day for $150. Gave $100 to my parents without them knowing. Hehe. Ponned boardgame duty.
Yesterday was Saturday. Went to help Shirin with her psalm. On the way there saw Jiayee. She's like prettier now. Haha. What she's doing in Hougang, I dunnoe la. Lol. Spent 1.5 hours with Shirin, helping her get the tune and words and stuff. I'm not a very good teacher, but she's a really good student. She got most of the stuff I tried to teach her. End of the day, I asked her if she wanted to do today's psalm, and she said yes.
So today, she did the psalm. I'm proud of her. Like, 1.5 hours of practice for someone who is relatively new to the choir, and the entire world was against her. The sound system cocked up, and the microphones were haywire. Not to mention she didn't have a proper teacher. But she still kept singing without any grave sore-thumb mistakes. Don't care what other people say. I think she did good.
Now, I'm just really tired. Waiting for TJ to send me his floorplan. Dammit.
*It hurts. But it's a good kind of hurt, I guess...*

We choose to detach ourselves from the world, or force ourselves back into society.
"If a man speaks in a forest, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?" - T-shirt
To Every Girl, I Remember
I remember
It was late January
So many new, pretty faces
I was intrigued
I remember
It was late May
Friendship broke down
I was frustrated
I remember
It was late November
Someone was leaving
I was disheartened
I remember
It was late March
Forgetting was difficult
I was struggling
I remember
It was early October
My first real date
I was happy
I remember
It was early November
We held each other in our arms
I was loved
I remember
It was early April
Betrayal was rife in the air
I was angry
I remember
It was early May
Someone's heart was breaking
I was sympathetic
I remember
When the present catches up
And the future seems too near
Run to the past
I was contented
I was not

The largest creatures are easily brought down by the smallest organisms.
"My grandfather was the first wheel!" - Jetfire, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Last day of the hols. Kinda bittersweet. It's been a crazily hectic week. Let's start from Thursday.
Went with Cleon for the free movie screening of Transformers 2 by SAF. There was a talk before the movie screening, which sucked. Damn boring. Movie was awesome though. 2 and a half hours of pure awesomeness. The Transformers definitely had more personality, and this movie is much funnier than the first one. Haha. After the movie screening, went for meeting and got a free copy of Exsteel. The game is fun but the lag is shitty.
Friday night, went to City Hall, YMS together with Bryan and Laoren to watch Selene's concert. It was by the AJ Alumni Choir. Darn cool. Everything was kept friendly, cuz the place itself wasn't that high-class. So it's like, the conductor will apologize in advance for anything that 'goes wrong' or whatever. They sang Nobody by Wondergirls. Like 0.0 la. Haha. Then they sang it again for encore. Entertaining la. And they could definitely sing man. Worth the $12. Haha. Attending their concert sorta made me feel quite disappointed as well. Sorta reminded how my attempts to start a pseudo-alumni choir epic failed. Lol. And Laoren likes toilets. Hahahah.
Yesterday was Saturday. WHOO! Went for Mascot Parade. Quite reluctant to go in the morning, and everything was kinda sian until Wesley put on his costume. Awesome la. He was this jap chef guy with a giant head. Fahmi and I had to hold up his head as he paraded around the outside of Ngee An City. Haha. Damn fun damn fun. Everyone wanted to take photos with him. And these twin little girls ran up to him and HUGGED him. So cute la! Hahaha.
We slacked/gave out brochures/slacked for a while until the actual parade started. Escorted Wesley (costumed) to the Atrium or something. Then after that, all the mascots gathered, and we began to march towards Ngee An City again. Stopped somewhere for a photoshoot. Played with all the mascots. Haha. Barney was dancing with Terminator la. So coool. Also played with the Library Dino. Bloody bloody adorable. Tapped its nose, pulled its tail etc. Then it tried to hit me, so Fahmi and I whacked its stomach. Then the dino's escort gave me a weird look, and later I realised the dino was actually a GIRL. HAHA!
Damn sad that I didn't get to talk to the escort more. She's cute. If I had more time with her I would have tried to get her MSN or her number or something. But we sorta got separated. Sigh, feel sad talking about her. x( Aww...
Nothing much today. Mass, practise, breakfast, go home. Tested Xavier, Brian's friend. But he wasn't keen on being tested. Lawl. Oh well.
Yup. All's well that ends well I guess. It's been a...eventful 3 weeks. Good holiday. Not much rest though.
Happy start of school!! =D Please taggggg.

Because what is man but a copy, made in likeness, but not in perfection?
"Prepare to accept wedded bliss, or EAT HOT PLASMA!" - Mandie, Fairly Oddparents
Is it wrong to do something good and expect something good in return? Is it wrong to expect more than just people being grateful for the help rendered them? Cuz right now, it seems to be.
Went to school today to return audio stuff. Had Subway for lunch. Talked cock with Cleon, then went to the library to borrow comics. Couldn't find the book Mom wanted. Came home. Mom, Sandy and Brian went to watch Transformers 2. I tried to find someone to watch with me tomorrow. Had free tickets. Most people not free. Of those who were free, not one fucking person was interested. Oh well.
Made two mistakes today. Very big ones.
Sucks.
*I'm sorry...*

Fathers are God's way of showing us that Mothers are not alone.
"Thanks. I am handsome." - Brian
Happy Father's Day!
Watched this really creepy show yesterday. Perfume: the Story of a Murderer. About this guy with superhuman sense of smell, who kills women to collect their scents. Eventually he creates the 'ultimate perfume' and uses it to escape death. And life. It was truly horrific, but not in the gory way. Damn disturbing show. Haha.
Anyways, went for Bass outing yesterday with Uncle Sam, Bryan, Jason, Brian and Ignatius. Not bad. Went to Lau Pa Sat. Kena cheated by the Malay man. Haha. Anyway, food wasn't that satisfactory. Nothing beats Kovan's stingray. Nothing beats Chomp Chomp's BBQ chicken. But ok la. Nice to get out. Talked about choir stuff. Mostly Jason talking. But yeah.
Today, woke up late. Almost couldn't make it for mass. Woke up at 6.54am. Reached the church at 7.12am. PRO-ness la seriously. Never get scolding or whatever la, since Brian and I are usually early. Hehe. Sermon was frickin' funny. Had a super short prac then went opposite the church to try the not-so-vegetarian prata. Prata was okay. Curry sucked. Haha. Wasn't the fish curry kind. There was this baby who was uber cute. Kept smiling at me. Awwwww... Then went to celebrate Father's Day at some chinese restaurant. They had super nice durian puffs. Whoo.
Haha. Suppertime. Toodles~

Intelligence is not marked by numbers or letters, but by how far the mind is willing to go to achieve unattainable answers.
"The heart dies a slow death..." - Sayuri, Memoirs of a Geisha
If only I could say. Hmm.
Went to watch Ghosts of Girlfriends Past yesterday with Bryan, Jason, Louise and Marilyn. Quite funny. Not hilariously funny. But it was a good movie. Haha. Had lunch at Manhattan Fish Market. The teriyaki salmon was not bad. A tad salty and...well, fish isn't really my thing. Nearly died finishing it. Haha. And the frickin' lights. I almost went blind can. Anyway, heard some of Jason's NS stories, then we headed to Build a Bear. Did some retarded stuff there. Funny sia. Yeah, then walk-walk a bit and went home.
Having problems with plot. Can't decide which direction to take for one of my stories. Lol. Still need to do up my HTI blog. Sighs. Becoming a chore. I used to like HTI man. Now it's like...sian. Same thing over and over.
I think I'm getting used to feeling confused. After 18 long years. Lol. Half the time we spend not knowing. Okay, more than half the time. And the other less than half we spend trying to figure out what we don't know. But I'm beginning to actually enjoy the confusion. It's interesting when you find out more about yourself, about your outlook on life. People usually don't bother, and those who bother criticise those who do not. I still believe ignorance is bliss, though Laoren once told me that the truth will always remain the truth, no matter how much you deny, ignore or heck-care about it. Truth is truth. So sometimes being ignorant about something doesn't really change the facts. Which is why I prefer to think.
Lol. Well, I think I'm more intelligent than her. No, I am more intelligent than her. I've never believed that grades (particularly those of secondary education) are the true measure of one's intellect. It's just how hard you study, how diligent you are, like Jason said. I don't really care if others get 6 points or 5 points or -2 points. For me, it doesn't mean they are smarter or wiser. It's just about competitiveness, not intelligence. The best fighter does not always win the battle. Similarly, the underdog does not always have to be the weakest. I know who the truly intelligent people are. And I know she isn't one of them. Oops.
Oh well. Way too much ranting. Lawl.
