If I could be where you are (Saturday, February 28, 2009 / 12:10 am)
I've no idea why but really nice emo songs just keep popping into my iTunes continuously.
Where are you this moment Only in my dreams You're missing, but you're always a heartbeat from me.
I'm lost now without you. I don't know where you are. I keep watching, I keep hoping, but time keeps us apart.
Winter lies before me, Now you're so far away In the darkness of my dreaming The light of you will stay
If I could be close beside you, If I could be where you are, If I could reach out and touch you, And bring you back home.
High - Lighthouse Family ( / 12:02 am)
When you're close to tears remember Some day itll all be over One day were gonna get so high And though its darker than december Whats ahead is a different colour One day were gonna get so high
Dont you think its time you started Doing what we always wanted One day were gonna get so high cause even the impossible is easy When we got each other One day were gonna get so high
And at The end of the day Well remember the days We were close to the edge And well wonder how we made it through And at The end of the day Well remember the way We stayed so close to till the end Well remember it was me and you
Castle in Germany (Thursday, February 19, 2009 / 1:04 am)
This is absolutely BREATHTAKING. I want to go to Germany too! When'd it be, I wonder.
Sigh.
I hate pre-presentation moods, especially when my presentation is 830 am tomorrow morning. I hate early mornings.
On a brighter note, I'll be in dreamland in 24 hours time to dream about BKK! Woo:D
Swim Fan (Wednesday, February 18, 2009 / 5:23 pm)
Just came back from a swim. I was rejuvenated initially and was all ready to start work until I decided to take out a cotton bud to clear the water in my ears. It wasn't that bad initially, like only a bit of water was stuck in my left ear. TO MY HORROR, after digging and digging (ok sounds gross) my left ear is TOTALLY BLOCKED now! ):
So I got really bored and started to do this quiz. I think i did this a few years ago, but when i redo it now, the results are quite different!
Here it goes.
Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.
I found this song in my iTunes. I used to like this song very much, together with O town's All or Nothing. Okay, let me go check if I have that too.
...
I have it too! Wonderful Jukebox I have over here. Great. Anyway, this song brings back nice primary school memories.. or was it secondary? Haha, but it's good. Go download it from iTunes (hahaha) if you don't.
Last Flight Out - Plus one
I'm so scared that you will see All the weakness inside of me I'm so scared of letting go That the pain I've hid will show
I know you want to hear me speak But I'm afraid that if I start to I'll never stop
I'm afraid that You will leave As my secrets Have been revealed In my dreams You'll always stay Every breathing moment from now
I cannot hold back The truth no more I let you wait too long Although it's hard and scares me so A life without you scares me more
I want you to know You belong in my life I love the hope I see in your eyes For you I would fly At least I would try For you I'll take The last flight out

The above is shown on their website, islandreefjob.com. It's fantabulous! No wonder, 18,000 applicants all over the world have already applied! Haha I wished I was brave enough to apply as well, but the job seems really enticing. I want to visit the Great Barrier Reef one day, probably during December to visit fatty's sister's convocation. Haha soon, I'll be communicating to the girl at down under via my blog again!
Anyway, here's an interesting portrait of me. I wished I look like that though. My facial features are much bigger here.
Entertainment Tonight (Tuesday, February 17, 2009 / 8:26 pm)
Hey there! If you're bored and randomly blog hopping, fret not! You've arrived at the right place to take your mind off this calm, boring, peaceful world of yours.
Firstly, let's have a good laugh!
This is so funny that you'll end up rolling and laughing on the floor and you'll start youtubing for more videos. But seriously, the two best videos are here. No point youtubing for them lol. And if you havent clicked the play button, I seriously think you should.
After something so hilarious, it's time for something slightly morbid. I enjoyed it pretty much and I'm sure you would too:D
Hahaha a weird friend of mine, also known as Hubert Cumberdale, sent this link to me. Why are people so morbid sometimes?
WOOORRRKKKKK): ( / 8:03 pm)
Her voice has echoed in my mind
I count the days till she is mine
I Can't tell my friends coz they will laugh
I love a member of the staff
And I fought my way to front of class
To get the best view of her ass
I dropped a pencil on the floor
She bends down and shows me more
That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
You can call me crazy
But I know that she craves me
That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
Girlfriends, I've had plenty
But none like Miss McKenzie
That's what I go to school for
That's what I go to school for
So she may be thirty-three
But that doesn't bother me
Her boyfriend's working out of town
I find a reason to go round
I climb a tree outside her home
To make sure that she's alone
I see her in her underwear
I can't help but stop and stare
Everyone that you teach all day
But you're looking at me in a different way
I guess, that's why
My marks are getting so high
I can see those tell-tale signs
Telling me that I was on your mind
I can see that you wanted more
When you told me that I'm what you go to school for
I'm what you go to school for

I wished thats why I go to school for. Was just randomly listening to my itunes and this song suddenly inspired me to start blogging.
Let's talk about my iTunes first. I've got some music from desmond and jam and together with that little pile of music I used to have in my harddisk, my iTunes is fit for listening for 21.6days! How amazing. Close to 35gb of songs, this is way more than any amount of songs I used to have. So I concluded that it was still a good thing that my hard disk crashed.
Anyway, OB was a total waste of time. Only 5% of everything I studied came out for the test which featured this really boring paragraph about Yahoo! Damn. I was anticipating something interesting, like what came out for the sem1 paper. What a disappointment!
And yes, back to the topic of schoool. I hate procrastinating about my work, but.. the thought of having to complete accounting project, marketing project and OB project and OB written report and AND the stats test is really driving me nuts. ALL THESE BY THE END OF RECESS WEEK? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I cant even take a breather when I return from BKK. Sigh! Last sem seemed so much more slow paced and relaxing.
Alright, with that, I should be off to complete the tutorials for this week.
School's driving me nuts, really soon.

On a side note, I've been updating my english-german dictionary. Learning a new german word everyday! Let's hope I'm capable of speaking a wee bit of german before taking up the elective:D iGoogle rocks.
New Year (Monday, February 16, 2009 / 1:52 am)
Some of the photos taken during New Year that I've yet to upload! Finally a family photo!:D
And the only decent photo I took before windsurfing. Sigh, I've used the wrong techniques to windsurf that day and now my back's aching!
I'm feeling more and more unproductive recently. My mind was barely concentrating on OB today as I attempted to read four chapters of it. Oh no! What's happening to me?):
I'm an Introvert! (Friday, February 13, 2009 / 2:00 am)
The Cool Specs. (Wednesday, February 11, 2009 / 9:57 pm)
I got a new pair of specs! Doubt anyone except my roomie (who's studiously mugging econs behind me right now) and my family saw me with it! So here's a sneak preview! Haha. I like the picture of the 4 of us with the cap. Makes us all look like icecream/krispykreme vendors:D
Inland Tsunami (Tuesday, February 10, 2009 / 5:32 pm)
The world is becoming so increasingly connected that I was just reading about the wildfires that devastated Down Under with a few clicks of the mouse. It then dawned upon me that you could actually be celebrating joyous occasions here in Singapore, whereas the Aussies affected by the wildfires could actually be screaming for help as they attempt to escape from their cars but fail to do so as the door handles were just too hot for their bare flesh. Hell and its fury have been on a rampage in Victoria, killing hundreds and turning villages into ash and cinders. Juxtaposing the lives of a Singaporean (like any of us) and that of an Aussie is simply bewildering. Here in Singapore, students like myself procrastinate about our workload all day long; get uptight about coming tests and exams and feel like we have no life at all. Ironically, those in Down Under do worry about having no life at all as well. I guess that's what happen when you're living in a country awash with natural disasters. So, stop grumbling about that pile of tutorials and projects that you have at the back of your mind and start enjoying your life. This is your life, now live!
That being said, I now proceed to the next part of my entry. I can't believe that I'm going to windsurf this Saturday. I've been really timid about sports that are more inclined towards the extreme side like windsurfing, surfing, diving and stuff. However, if I still hold back and worry about trying out new experiences, that's not a life worth living for right! So, let windsurfing be the first of many firsts to come (I hope)! Lol.
Ah, time flies. It's time to head back to work. A couple more days to recess week! We can do this!:D
Don't let the sun go down on me (Saturday, February 07, 2009 / 11:45 am)
Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
----
Indeed, the sun is going down on me.
For the past two days, that's how I've been feeling. Literally and metaphorically. Let's start with the former. I was working at Sentosa yesterday from 8-5pm or so, and now I've got a healthy red glow on me, or maybe.. symptoms of sunburnt are starting to show. Well, anyway, I just feel a little lost and aimless these days. Sigh, guess I shan't dwell on that. The more I type, the more emotional I get.
I wonder if sentimentality's a trait of the Sagittarians. If so, I rather be a Scorpio, lol. Ah, incoherent entries or rather entry before I get my life back on track. A part of me went down memory lane ever since I discovered that my 9 month old toshiba crashed 2 days ago. I didn't save my data into my hard disk. Yep, stupid I know. So please remember to save yours if you've wonderful memories kept in your hard disk.
That said, I guess you guys will not see me online for the next few days or so till I send my toshiba to eight flags in school and get it repaired which I estimate will take another week or so. Maybe a break from the cyber world is good for the time being. Ah, I'm kind of helpless or so. The songs that I've painstakingly added into my computer are gone again. When I just thought that my songs collection were slowly starting to build up. Thank goodness I have a iPod travel charger. Life without the Internet is bad enough; life without music is unbearable.
Okay, farewell cyber friends!
I shall go for a swim now, and pray that I do not get sunburnt.
Take A Bow (Sunday, February 01, 2009 / 11:13 am)
Haha. If you've listened to Rihanna's Take A Bow prior to this video, you'll find neyo's version quite amazing:D
