4 months huh? Ha. Wondering what I've been doing anyway. Meanwhile, here's an acoustic version of Lady Gaga's Poker Face by Chris Daughtry - both are really talented musicians.

Many things around me, stuff that happened made me realise that I'm just so weak after all.

Seems like the '25 things about me' fad is going on in Facebook, so here's a challenge to myself if I can even write 25 unique things about myself!
1. I'm born a left-hander, but was forced by my mom to use my right hand. So that explains why my handwriting used to be so bad, that even my primary school form teacher had to comment about it in my report book!
2. My childhood ambition was to be a policeman. Must be too much TV and cartoon shows back then. I even joined the NPCC cos of it. Now, nah.
3. I lost 7kg in a week. Wanna be like me? Join the Green Men Organisation today!
4. I love to dream a lot. As in, I would be day-dreaming about customising new characters or stories based on shows I've watched or stories I've read. Let's take Bleach for example. I would day-dream by creating new characters and weapons, how they would look like, and what their abilities to be.
5. I listen to both English and Chinese songs, but not at the same time. I grew up listening to Chinese songs, then I switched to English songs from Primary school to JC, then switched back to Chinese during my army days. Now I'm in the midst of switching to English again.
6. My love for singing grew only when I entered university. I was in the school choir in primary school, but that's because I followed my sister in joining. My secondary school music teacher approached me once to join the choir, but I refused, in favour of NPCC. Ha.
7. I'm rather sensitive and highly pessimistic about myself. Most of the time I would feel that people are looking down on me, jeering at me, etc. Sometimes I take it with a pinch of salt, while at others I will be deeply affected by it, making me feel small and vulnerable.
8. I used to like the number 59. Never really understood why.
9. I got my 1st Poom in TKD when I was like 9 (15 yrs ago!!) and I stopped after that. So that means if anyone were to spar with me now, you'll kick my ass really bad.
10. My first time on stage was when I was Primary 5. It was an inter-class competition and we sang this song about an ice-cream cone. Duh.
11. I used to fear trying out new food when I was super young. I slowly got over most of it as I grew up. Thank God, or else you won't be seeing stuff like pizza, hot dogs and hamburgers in my diet. But the fear is not completely gone yet.
12. I have selective memory. I can remember details and stuff of others like birthdays, likes and dislikes for a long time, but I can't remember where I left my glasses or wallet a minute ago.
13. I'm an uber messy person. My family and colleagues would know. Maybe not my friends. =p
14. I love spicy food. Especially chilli padi. But most of the time my stomach can't take it.
15. I can live a day without my handphone. But I can't without my computer and the Internet. But I'm starting to be able to survive without them. =)
16. I like to play MMORPGs, but I don't have the patience for it.
17. I used to call myself Raymond, after a friend of my sis. I stopped after my primary school form teacher trained us to use our registered names (as stated in our BCs and NRICs).
18. Speaking of names, my Chinese name was already decided before my elder sis was even born. If she's born a guy, she would have gotten the name, and I would have been named differently. Probably my younger brother's name.
19. I lost $50 once at the ATM. I withdrew the money, took my card, and left without taking the money.
20. When I was young, my mom predicted that I would be shorter than my younger brother when we grow up. Guess she was wrong.
21. I spent a long long long time getting my driving license. My lesson appointment card was totally filled up. And they rejected my photo (that was used for my passport) for my license!
22. I thought I was safe on my 21st birthday, cos I was far away from Nanyang Lake. Guess I was wrong when they brought it to me. (Ok the water's not from there, but yah I guess you understand)
23. I hate looking at myself in photos. Which is why I don't really collect them.
24. I'm still afraid of cockroaches. Urgh.
25. My clothes used to reflect what my favourite colour is. Now I try to avoid buying tops of that colour anymore. But apparantly my apparels are still mostly that colour. =p

One thing about listening to the radio continuously for the whole day, every day, is that you keep listening to the same songs again and again and again and again. Oh well. At least they have this nice song on Class 95 now. =)

Somehow I was reminded of an old video I watched on Youtube when I heard the song "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia on the radio at work. And here it is!
It's hilarious isn't it? I totally loved the performance! This performer, Johan Lippowitz (real name David Armand, mimes out the lyrics of the song, but not exactly the actual word itself... Ha. Here's a more complete version, with a surprise.
Here's 2 vids (continuous) on a Britney Spears Medley, done by a guy inspired by Johann Lippowitz, and I think it's quite cool too!
LOL. I always felt that his movements are solid and his expressions priceless. Just one more by the man himself.
Happy Valentine's cum Friendship Day to all! =)

Back to school... for a while

It was my first time back to CF ever since the start of my IA. I have not been going back cos my work place is just toooooooooooo far from school! And most of the time I would be tired after work and would wanna go back home. But ever since the downs I have been going through this few weeks, I just felt the need to go back this morning (the idea just popped in my head as I was preparing to go to work. I had wanted to go back last week for the reunion dinner gathering, but I was summoned back home for lou hei.) So once I reached office, I messaged Jieying if I could get a lift on her car after work and yep she agreed to instantly.
And so as I said I went back to CF for the first time this year. And once again I remembered and felt for myself why I have been attending CF all these years in school - the fellowship among God-loving friends, it's incredible. It's something that I have not felt from the constant rushing-back-home-after-work-then-slack routine. Well at first I was still quite troubled inside me, but after a while I really felt at home! I thank God for such loving friends and for CF!
Too bad I won't have much chance to go back for CF for the rest of my IA period, but I will try to go back as much as I can. To make things better, Jieying even offered to give me a lift whenever I wanna go back (also as a way to remind the workaholic in her to stop for the day too she says. Ha!). Yep.. Thanks! All praises and thanks to our Almighty Lord again! =)

It seems like I neglected the blog again! Well, it's just that I'm very lazy to write any entry, and I can't really find interesting things to write about. Yes MY LIFE IS A BORE! Cos it's been work work work all day long! Except for this week though, due to the Chinese New Year holidays (wee!). All the way till Wednesday!
Oh yeah, by the way. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
I guess the most happening thing this month occured during this CNY weekend. We had a gathering at Andy's house last Friday night, where we played his Wii and card games all the way till the wee (no pun intended) hours of the morning. I even fell asleep while playing Guitar Heroes! And I was standing up!
CNY itself is as usual I guess. It's just a gathering at Grandma's in the morning after church service, the usual recycled-oranges-for-angbows 'ritual', popiah for lunch (it somehow became a tradition at Chia V that we'll always and only eat popiah at CNY only every year. Ha.), then everyone will rush off to visit their in-laws while my family will stay behind longer, lazing around. Somehow CNY has lost its 'feel' already. As my aunt mentioned, CNY doesn't feel like CNY anymore. It's not as special as it used to be already. Maybe cos as our generation edges slowly into adulthood, we care less and less about the gatherings and angbows, and a long-gone tradition of taking a 全家福 photo. I wonder, in the future when each and everyone in our generation has a family of our own, and when both grandpa and grandma goes back to the Lord, will we still hold such gatherings at Chia V?
Yep a good rest during this long weekend. 1 more day of holiday, and then it's work again. =/ Can't wait for the weekend to be here again.
P.S. Man. Somehow it sucks when you're celebrating the year of your own zodiac animal.
