Fly Away!

Today is the DAY!!

Finally I'm leaving for Rockhampton today! It's been really long since I've been overseas! Really looking forward to it! In any case, don't think you won't hear from me cause I'm in Australia!

I have my Lappie with me! So I'd be constantly uploading photos from Australia on a regular basis!

So LOOK OUT!

Loof and Haircut!

In another four more days, I'll be flying off to Australia le! I'm really very excited about the upcoming trip! Totally can't wait!

In any case, before I fly off, met up with Ed and Jie last Saturday as per normal. Haha.. It's like becoming a part of my weekly schedule, but it's always great to meet up with the guys! Went to this new pub, like FINALLY! We moved away from Archipelago for once!
Not that I have anything against our favourite hangout..

Welcome to LOOF!

This is the menu that there provided, really interesting and very cute concept!

The main reason I wanted to go was cause the day before, me and the MDC guys wanted to head down but it was packed! So I went down with my pals on the folowing day!
Not forgetting to mention, they've got ASAHI from the TAP!!

I love ASAHI!

I really like how the entire place was designed. Situated on the 3rd floor of Odeon Towers, it has a great view of Raffles City and Raffles Boulevard! With both indoor and outdoor seating, customers can choose to either enjoy the cool of the night, or simply relax in the air-conditioned indoors. With a inhouse DJ playing some down tempo electronic, it really brings out the the feel that Loof wants to provide it's customers with.

A picture of where I sat!

Below are some of the specialities that I tried!

The Loof Life
(Hmmm.. I can't really taste the alcohol...)

The Tom Yum
(O.O Spicy.. and it really tastes like Tom Yum ice-blended!)

In any case, I'd be back for more once I'm back from Australia! They've got some really good promotions on their website, so here you go!

Oh and on Sunday, I finally got my Haircut @ Chapter 2!!
Mummy tagged along too and got her's snipped, really short now..

Here's the aftermath..

I really LOVE my new haircut! So easy to style, and it feels so me! =)

I just can't stop Cam-Whoring now.. Bleah..

On the bus! Wahahahaha

Okay.. I better stop posting photos of myself..
There should most probably be one last post before I depart on Sunday! Till then!

Photos!!!

Loads of photos to upload today! Stories to tell!!

Went Bowling the other day at Kallang Bowl located in Leisure Park!!
It's my 2nd time there, and FIRST time bowling!!

Leisure Park @ Kallang!

I waited for like 2 hrs before bowling, so we went to Old Airport Road for supper.. No photos on that cause we're all to hungry! Didn't get a chance to take pictures of the food and they were all GONE!!!

Back to the bowling alley and start bowling!

A picture of Kallang Bowl!

We bowled till like 2 plus.. and I was dead tired.. Yawnz.. Almost knocked out at the alley!

Tired, tired..

Just last Wednesday, had a last minute show at Amara Sanctuary in Sentosa! Took quite a no. of photos there! ~Woot~

An external view of the building that we're held in! NICE!!

Then something terrible arose, we had no dinner provided, so we had to go around the island to hunt for food!!!

Let the hunt begin!
We were given directions to Subway in Imbiah Lookout!
SUBWAY!!

Hunger really got the better of us.. We started doing weird stuff...

DHARNI!! What are you trying to do?!

Finally, after loads of coaxing, he finally got out of that position.. Whew..

SUBWAY!! FINALLY!!

After munching, it's time to go sight-seeing!

That's the Tiger Sky Tower!!
I wanna take a ride too!! But expensive woah..

A view of the tower from the bottom!

It's almost about time to head back to our holding room and await the event to start!!

That's the guys! Jerrold, Dharni, Jeremy, Matt, Viknesh!

Back to our holding room, after getting changed, it's time for my own self Cam-whoring time!


I just LOVE to take photos in front of the mirror! Keke..

Just a glimpse of the room and how messy it was! I promise it'll be clean once we're gone! Bleah!

Messy, messy, messy!

Last Friday was Nic's concert @ YMS! Quite a no. of us went down to support him!
After which, we went to Chijmes for a chill out session of our own! Ended up in Harry's cause the initial place that we planned to go, Loof, was full!

Group photo time!!

Eh? Kenny! Get over here! Let's get the waitress to help us take a photo!

That's more like it! I like this photo!!
From Top row, left: Kenny, Jeremy, Zee, Bryan, Lester
From Bottom row, left: Jun Kai(My under-study!), Me, Dennis!

That's all for now!

Speechless..

Today is the first day I'm using a notepad to write out what I wanna say..

Since yesterday night, my throat's been hurting real bad and darn painful. I wish for the pain to go away. So today at work, to prevent my voice from really going, I had to no choice but to start writing.

But thankfully after loads of care for the day, I'm talking once again and hopefully nothing goes wrong for tomorrow's performance.



Less than 2 weeks more to Rockhampton, I need to be in tip-top condition!!

20081018

I finally found a chance to SWIM and TAN le!

Thanks Jas and Mike for accompanying me!


Quite a no. of stuff took place this week! A very, very busy week for me!
It's been really tiring, but it's REWARDING as well!


Had vetting in camp on wed, met Jovan for dinner after that at Dempsey!
I can't take photos in camp so NO PHOTOS on vetting, but we did a nice job! Cheers!

I was at the Barracks Cafe in House at Dempsey for dinner! ]
Really POSH place but really YUMMY FOOD as well!
Must really go try people! Here's the webbie!

On Thursday night, we went out to celebrate J.Ho's birthday @ Mind's Cafe!!

Happy 20th Jer!

It's been real long since I played board games at Mind's Cafe, really had a fun time there! Though we only managed to play 2 games, Who's the Boss and Quelf!

That's Vik as our waiter serving us our DESSERT as he tries really hard to complete his task in Quelf!

In an attempt to take photos, this is kinda what I got..

Have a look for yourself!

Birthday boy kana sabo by NIC!!!

Then after the guys went to watch Max Payne the Movie..
It's indeed a pain in the arse.. Change the name to Max Payne the documentary would be more suitable!
I'm thankful I ain't there.. Bleah..


Today was the LAST day of performance for the week.. Really tiring cause I just performed the day before, a night show, and the following day have to wake up for a morning show at some ULU location!

Welcome to HORT PARK!
I had no idea such a place existed! Plus with Nincompoops in my company that spelled HORT as HOT, it really didn't make any sense to me at first.

But the place was really quite nice..

That' all for now, I shall go and prep for my bowling session!! Sa-yo-na-ra!

阿妹!!!

Finally,
阿妹
is back in Singapore!!
I didn't manage to catch her the last time! I finally DID!!

Here are some pics I took at Indoor.. Sh.... Not suppose to de.. Bleah
Picture of the stage! 1, 2, 3, 4-sided lo!!


Shot when she's on stage! Super nice right!

And the 2 美女 who went with me to the concert!

Yen ling & Pei Xian!

Really enjoyed myself last night!

All her songs touched me though we could tell that she ain't feeling too well, but still, it was great!

Update Alas!

Sorry people, I'm like doing a summary blogging every month now. Really busy for the past month that's why no time to upload photos and BLOG!!

Let's see some photos first, shall we?

Sending a kiss to her!!

Me, Fang, Mar!!

My number ^n attempt to take a picture of everyone!! =(


Yummy dessert!

This is all I have for now, for more updates, do stay tuned!!

Just some updates.. Not whinings!

It's been a really busy week for me, having to perform 6 times this week is quite a killer, but to the artiste from MDC, you guys rock man! 2 shows everyday, crazy people man! Dope shit!

Tomorrow I'd be heading to Tekong loh, back to where it all began, where I first started serving my national service, but this time, things are different cause I'll be back there as a performer, no longer a recruit! But I'm gonna be performing for 4 days straight, man, that's really tiring. But I'm sure it's gonna be real fun! Then I've got the upcoming auditions to look forward to! I need to find my under-study!

Oh, forgot to mention that VE went to Orchard the other day for our first purchasing and researching for new costumes and our desperate hunt for 8 identical belts below $20! It's a brand new experience all in all, and really fun to hang out with the guys in Orchard!

雨，不停落下来..

已经下了大半天了，未曾停过。哗啦哗啦，不停地下。

总觉得，这场雨似乎跟我的心情相似，就如老天与我一同哭泣，诉说出我的心声。如今，我的心也依旧一滴一滴不停的哭泣，血不停地流出。那未愈合的伤口逐渐扩大，血也不停地跟着雨水落下。原因，我自己最清楚，也最了解，但是我不想说，也不想透露的。

雨，谢谢你，为我哭泣。是时候，该长大了。不要再过于依赖任何人。

Quis

Back from jamming, and seriously man, I miss these guys! Haven't met up for a really long time, and it feels real good to be back again! We're all looking forward to more Gigs in the upcoming months! It's always good to have more exposure and stuff like these.

I always remember how I introduced the band name during street fest..

MC: So how did the name Quis come about.
Me: Well, erm... That you've got to ask Wesley, our drummer.. He kinda dreamt of the name Quis and yeah, there you have it, Quis. (Crowd and everyone laughs, Wes just shrugs..)
MC: Okay, so Wesley sleeps, had a dream of the name Quis and the band gets named Quis?
Me: Yeah, that's about it. (Laughs)

Haha, sorry Wes, not trying to suan you man! Just reminiscence of the past!

The band's doing great now too, we've been expanding our repertoire and moving on to more genres! Now that's an achievement.

Jammed at Boon's as usual and bumped into Kunio and 异世界 at the studio too! Jammed with the guys and David drove us to a new Botak Jones outlet opposite Serangoon Stadium. I had no idea there is a new outlet there man. Great food, except they didn't have any options for the side dishes today. Really looking forward to potato salad though.

Any case, all the best to you guys doing AHM tomorrow. I shall run with you all in erm, my dreams? Ooooopz... Jam real soon!

酒...

酒后的我，感觉上更清醒，好像重获新生一般。

酒，是能麻醉神经，让人暂时忘了生活中的不愉快，让人有种得到解脱的感觉。昨晚，我醉了...

好久好久没有喝得那么尽兴，喝得没顾虑，没有任何的牵挂。在舞池中狂舞，挥洒自我，让我整个人都放松了。喝到不行了就到马桶，把一切的不愉快给全都吐出来，然后再按下按钮，把一切的伤心，泪水，统统给冲走。虽然是件痛苦的事，但只要过去了，就能得到解脱。我一边吐，眼泪也从眼角像倾盆大雨，落下了。

伤已渐渐的愈合，忽然发现，我其实也因此放弃了许多。从中，断了几段有可能发芽的友情，也尽量将自己跟外界隔离。当梦醒时，一切显得有些许不值得，但一切以过去，也成定局。

还记得，我第一次喝酒喝得烂醉，是在去年的十一二月，原因也相当接近。看来，我真是喜欢虐待自己，才能让自己从梦中苏醒。

是该醒来了，不能再沉醉于梦境里...

疼傻人

最近，爱上了这首叫《疼傻人》的新歌。这是新戏《十二莲花》中的片尾曲，由Project SuperStar二届的女亚军，杨佳盈所演唱。歌词的含义非浅，但非常动人。当中，我最爱的就是副歌中的一句，〈老天若只疼傻人，你为何不在身旁〉。小寒真不愧是本地杰出的填词人，为许多好歌写出首首搭配的天衣无缝的歌词。现在，我还在密集搜索这首歌的完整歌词，因为，小弟我听不出完整版的歌词，真是不好意思。但我会尽快将歌词上传到部落格跟大家分享。在这片刻置于，就请大家多多支持本地制作，序《881》之后，陈子谦导演的另一巨作《十二莲花》。阵容强大，首首动听的歌曲，还有本地小天后孙燕姿客串，你怎能不看呢？

十一点半的约定

我累了，真的累了。十一点半的约定，让我坐立难安，分分秒秒都盯着时钟一分一秒地过去，只希望它尽快到来。我很想持续地相信，相信总有一天，我能得常所愿，但那一天似乎一分一秒地从我身边慢慢溜走。

人是自私的，我也不例外，什么都想占为既有。生命中有些东西是不能与其他人分享的。我像是个被宠坏的小孩，只要认定这东西是我的，就不准任何人从我身边把它夺走。我，就是那么自私。

好想发泄，好想大声呐喊，好想把一切的一切都说出来，让心中的困惑能解开。但这是不可能的... 我也太天真了。

情...

人，这一生，往往逃不出情这个字。

我，也不例外...



切记，逃避是解决不了问题的...

Loads to unload...

Almost been a month since I blogged le, loads happened but ain't gonna talk about it here.
Yeah..

Upcoming week gonna be super busy and all, National Day Final Preview and the actual Day on 9th August, National Day Observance Ceremony at MINDEF, Istana Open House, National Day Appreciation Dinner... And so many more.. I'm a busy and easily stressed up kid... Yeah

These days, I've been thinking a lot, and I really mean a hell lot. About every single thing in life, from work, to family, to relationship and to how I actually view life. How much my views differ from others and how much we all think alike.

Yes, reading till this point, you'd found out already, it's gonna be a naggy post, but I don't care, just read on if you want to, and if you don't well, it's your choice, not mine.

I feel that many a times, we are not professional at all, as performers. Just a simple instruction to move on stage, people make a hell lot of noise. LIKE HELLO!! You are a performer, you are suppose to look good when you perform. Regardless what you are performing, you must be professional and do what you're told to. There's no such thing as my form of art is superior to others. They are artists so they should be doing this kind of shit. We are all performers for your information so just shut up and do your job.

Next, be thankful for everything in life, I am. After thinking loads these days, I'm thankful for all I have, especially my vocation in army. I'm in a place where many dream to be, and I'm from guards, a combat unit, I know how it feels to move from hell up to heaven. So be thankful and stop complaining and asking for more and slacking off. I'm also really thankful for my friends who are always there to lend me a listening ear. They are always there for me as my safety net, breaking my fall. Thanks guys, especially Mindy and Edwin.

Lastly, I wonder why some people are never truthful. There are some stuff that should be told even if the other party did not ask about.

To all the July Babies, Garrett, Wei Fang, Hui Ting, Gregory, Jeremy x 2, Nicholas, Reef...
Happy Bdae!

I'd be taking photos on this upcoming Saturday for the NDP Preview.. So look out for the photos!

A very packed month indeed...

Just did up my current month schedule and ~faint~, this is a seriously hectic and chaotic month for me... Rehearsals, back to back with it comes shows as well as prep for upcoming month's NDOC '08, no idea what's that but shld be some huge event...

Feels kinda crappy though, but still, I'd prefer to do work rather than none, and with the Band's repertoire increasing rapidly, there's loads more work to be done, and I'm gonna go down to the driving centre this thurs to get my lessons planned out, as well as taking out my guitar and practising my old songs again! Loads of work but, it's full of fun, fun and more fun!

Some recent updates would be, oh yeah, met up with the gang 2 fridays ago, Yuan couldm't make it cause down with fever, Jie had something on and Han was doing OT... So it's just, Ed, Mindy, Nana and myself! The crazy four! LOLX... Went to kinda celebrate me getting into mass comm, went to eat ramen and play pool! Havent played for ages, skills all rusty le!

The Corona Gal... Geeky...

Gal Power!

Teaching in process...

The aftermath...

Oh and here are a few photos I took from NDP, not too bad right! Just did the first NE show last weekend, quite fun though, with like 27000 people sitting right in front of you! The only sad truth is that besides the parade commander and the host, everything else is all recorded on a track...

~Disappointing~

Full view of the audience!

Nice Heart you've got there!

Met up with some of the class the other day to celebrate a 美女's Birthday!

Ms Lim Wei Fang, you're 20 loh!!!

It was a 5 girls and 1 guy outing, cause I'm the one who could book out from army! Really had a blast that day and it was real nice to meet them! Photos coming right up!

How could we do without a group photo!

Birthday girl with rocker!

Dawn, Fangz and Myself! I do look tall... Kekekeke...

Side note, been bumping into quite a no. of Secondary school classmates, hahaha, Zoe and WeiTing, Mei Ling and Emma! Hahaa... The world is getting smaller by the minute!
