blog blog
i shall !

hahas .

why am i getting lazier and lazier
online ?
gosh i should really delete those games sometimes .

anyway , update (:

_______________

yesterday was our long awaited day out (:
and long awaited due to the busy
stressed
tight
time constraining
schedule we've been having
recently .

and after recovering from our
not-so-smooth period
and deciding that we still stand really strong
and firm like twin mountains ,
for each other (:

she came to my house yesterday (:
well deserved break we had !

we promised each other that the the first part of the day
was her accompanying me ,
and later in the will be me accompanying her.
but !
we ended up just simply ,
accompanying each other (:
just like how we always do hhees .

we made EGG-SANDWICH ,
together !
hahas , chef + assitance .
and it taste greater than ever (:
well , it actually
taste better and better
everytime we make it together :P

because our special ingredient ,
is always there (:

we watched time traveller's wife over breakfast .
the movie was awesome ! thanks for the recommendation (:
it has so much meaning in it ,
with rather peculiar and sensitive
ideas in it but it is driven
by many simple and important things .

hehes . watching movies together
does make movies nicer !
oh well ,
doing anything together with her makes
anything nicer (:

lirong then proceeded to watch her webcast lecture
while i loiter around the room reading
reader's digest and an obsolete version
of men's health .
hahahs , we shared and chatted about any topics
we can pick up from anything .
we're so full of ideas hehes .

and then we shared (:
we shared so many things .
things we treasure
and things that holds both of us together
through so many and so much (:

thanks for holding on , to each other !

_______________

AMK Hub was the prime choice for lunch
(apart from lingzhi LOL )
cus we miss yong tau foo ,
and basically eating it together with each other .
and her complaining that i always
finish her favorite
sweet-sauced-soaked-thick-yellow-noodles-thats-always-used-for-yong-tau-foo

it IS nice . and at first it looked like ALOT
so i couldnt help eating so much of it hahahs !

and today i learnt whats her favorite
staple food too (:

headed off to buy
KOI Bubble tea after which .

honestly , i didnt expect much
from a famous bubble tea stall hahas .
as in , i thought , how nice could bubble tea get ?

wait till you try KOI !
hahas . its insane nice hhhes .
taste like you can drink thousands of cups
and still not get sick of the same flavour .
and then theres like dozens of flavours !

hahas . yet another great
recommendation for FOOD
by lirong (:

we sucked and sucked the drink non stop
and even decided to go for another cup
but yeah , its heaty !

_______________

headed to suntec city after lunch hahas .
and we camwhored abit while resting our legs !

we really have alot of unglams hehhes .

walked around suntec city !
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
much things to see hehhes .

come to think about it ,
we actually visited suntec city quite a number of times !

hahhas .
(:

we laughed till our cheeks ache
as we continuously tease and taunt (:
havent been so natural and boundary less with her (:
our bond is getting thicker and thicker .
closer and closer to each other we draw :D

_______________

had LOVING HUT
for dinner when we decided both our legs and stomach
is ready for dinner .
pics will come soon ! its taking quite awhile to load .
we had meepok , which was abit too spicy to both our opinions .
kept us sweating hahas . spice covered the original taste
of the meepok abit too much .

exchanged my rice with that , hahas .
rather my tongue hurts than hers :D

highlight ! claypot with tofu !
omg the sauce is awesommmmmeeee .
with mixed veggies and mock meat inside .
hahahs perfect combination with rice and even meepok !

they were nice enough to give us two bowls of soup hahas .
we talked , laughed , shared (:
and burped !

bought her a new Little miss shirt , and she paid
for the other !
little miss neat and little miss happy .

its really very her hahas .
tell me next time you wear your little miss happy yeah !
*hints hints*
hahahas we know (:

IKEA DAYY !!

2009-06-15T08:34:00.007+08:00

9th of June !
hehes .

Li Rong needed to browse and consider some
Furniture catalogue , cus she needs to refurbish her room (:

so where else , but IKEA ? :D

IKEA TAMPINES !
hahas .

we've been wanting sooooo badly to visit ikea for ages .
everytime we pass by on the bus we'll like ,
STARE at the massive blue/yellow building .

hahas .
here comes the chance !

its soooooooo
cool inside ikea .
the format of the shop ,
the decorations ,
the design ,
basically just the entire idea of the "sales of furniture"

is just so , cool !
and comfy !
everything !

hahas .
bet you can even come here WITHOUT the mindset
of getting any furniture in the first place ,
and still enjoy walking around .

we ARE excited (:

trust me , the map looks small (:
but its reallllllly huge inside !

somehow its like a mini little maze ,
with doors connected to a new section everywhere !
maybe its just me .
i get confused easily when it gets colourful :P

making use of the mirrors "on-sale" .
we're really , just trying it out to see if its clear !

hehes . explaning to me on "where to go next"

this is first area we visited .
they have these little "rooms"
where everything is designed , formatted ,
and place nicely for your consideration if you're
building your own little room .

its really comfy !
and they're soooooo many rooms for you to just ,
enter , and "hang around" . just for you to feeeeeel the
ambience .
and it says make yourself at home !
which means you can do anything with the furniture !
play with it , sit on it , lie on it .
hahahas :D

_______________

im short .
i admit .
muahahahha .

these cupboards are mean to me .
they're build tooooo high
cant even "lock" it when i swing it upwards .
but hehe , its nice !

its customisable anyway !
oh yeah .
ikea things are actually CUSTOMISABLE .
alot of things there can be .
you can remove a door , install a new sliding one ,
flip one , fold one .
put new racks . everything !

and the price , is actually ,
in MOST cases , quite reasonable .

_______________

lunch !
yupps .

they had this vegetarian tomato pasta on display .
sad thing though , it has onion !

we asked if theres anything else ,
and fortunately these this vegetarian fried rice on sale
that day (:
its reaaaaaaaally nice !
we KINDA tasted onion though .

this is their cashier format .
really fresh yeah !

and ahhhhhh .
free flow coffee and tea for just $1.50 !
free flow sugar too :P

hehs :D

lirong brought two real nice home made burger too .
haahs . it was a full and fulfulling lunch :D
of course after a long walk .
and we're prepared to walk much more yeah !

_______________

went on walking after that hehes .
happy and full (:

lirong's on a lookout for her own shorter and nicer bed !

and both of us getting excited and fascinated by our favourite ,
and well-priced cupboards !
the one lirong's holding has this "metal gate" thingy !
it actually slides and folds in nicely like a garage gate .
i love it !

taking the mirror to the test again ! :D

ikea mirrors are certified - clear !

_______________

even the sunset was heartwarming (:
i bought a 2 piece box set , for organising the messy stuff
in my study room hhahas . ought to (:

_______________

hahas went to tampines one ( awesome ! )
for dinner and shopping !

hehes .

and headed home happy (:

what a day hehes .

deeeeep down and up ,
i really really really enjoyed shopping with lirong !
hahahs so fun and its always "on-the-go" , new exciting stuff
just keeps coming in !

hahaas .

POC !

2009-06-13T12:56:00.006+08:00

hahas i really really havent blogged ,
in hmm .

QUITE AWHILE .

lol !

_______________

POC-ed on 8th June 2009 .

hahas . our OC's really good ,
he fought for 1 day POC earlier for us .
knowing that one day will probably be spent doing
eat - sleep - repeat .

we cleaned our bunks , and had stand-by-beds ,
for so called the last time in BMT .

honestly , the last check isnt really precise or on the dot !

their main aim was to make sure ,
the next batch , can come in , and rest comfortably ,
clean and cosily .
and of course , give the parents a good impression when they visit the bunks
on the first day .

the last day in bunk was really memorable .
other than anticipating and waiting pointlessly for bookout time .
catching up , reminiscing , reliving all the moments in bmt .
splashing each other with water which i refuse to take part :P
still trying to figure out how to fold a smart no.4 sleeve nicely .
finding the owner of the missing lonely sock lying on the ground
(which turns out to me mine) hehe .

all beautiful moments in each of our lives .
which i doubt any of us will forget .

and yay !
we all completed BMT !

_______________

post bmt celebration was simple but reallllly nice .

lirong came all the way to help us take pics ,
of us in uniform (:
really really appreciate it !
once in a lifetime !
hahas ! she must be really proud to be the photographer then :D
glad she does .
thanks for all the awesome pics ! (:

we headed to swensens at tampines mall after that .
guess we all deserved it , massive orders were taken ,
large burgers , fries , steaks .

but we had a simple banana sizzling pan and fried mushroom ,
and a cup of malted thingy with cookies and cream ice cream !
things lirong and i both love alot ! (:

but guess what we found in the fried mushroom |:
a piece of boneeeeee .

we realised the fry the mushrooms
with all the non vegetarian dishes too .

well at least we had our order canceled .
and realised that we cant eat the fried mushrooms anymore ..

oh well .
we still have sizzling pans to indulge in !

_______________

shopped around tampines mall and tampines one after eating .
hhehes . in uniform !
it was pretty fun though :P

but the stares and awkward moments when i accidentally hit someone
or something on the shelves !
haha !

_______________

things we do for each other ,
and things we make each other do ,

is really quite miraculous and heartwarming .
sometimes it may be simple as you think it may be ,
but its the simple things we're willing to do for each other ,
and the heart and effort place behind it ,
that really ,
really ,

matters (:

im very glad we both appreciate it .

(:

have to get back to practising !

NS was pretty decent ,
a really good experience for all of us .

i just returned from weekend guard duty
and my legs hurts .

haha !
but its really really memorable for us i reckon .
not for the pains and sweat ,
not for the draggingly long prowling road we have to take .
but for our responsibilities and duty we have to serve .

and hahas .
of course , walking on road with just your buddy and yourself .
sometimes quiet , sometimes chatty .
sometimes sharing things we wont really share openly .

haha . come to think of it , its really worth the day's effort .

hahas :D
but but but .
just this once hehe .

its hard to say .

the only thing i can promise is
i'll do my best to not do anything that'll lead to that ,
and when something requires us to face it together ,
i will .

but i made a mistake today .

a big , a small , a variable mistake .
but i cant neglect it .

i dont want to .
if not handled with care , i might lose grip of it ,
without realising it .

ouch .
taking things for granted starts out small ,
but comes out big ,
if not tackled .

i got to fix this one early .

install a little "alarm" within me ,
that goes off whenever i forget something i should not forget .

yeaps .
installed .
never again .

and im sorry |:

about that particular ONE accessory out of like
500 accessories available .

great .
i have lots to learn .

_______________

went out to shop
for new year clothes
with li rong and joyce on Sunday .

hahhas .
we ended up walking around
bugis for hours ,
doing nothing but trying on cloths ,
and bought nothing .

it was really
really
really crowded .

hahaah .
was really fun shopping with them .

_______________

ended up going to takashimaya on tuesday , or yesterday .
with alex .

armed proudly with a $100 voucher ,
my hopes of getting lots of things in taka ,
got totally shattered .

EVERYTHING
is so
EXPENSIVE
there .

ended up getting a wallet and a few
singlets instead .

sigh .
i actually blatantly and painfully FORGOT
that im not suppose to buy a leather wallet .

no killing , remember ?

and i realised it so late .

now i'll have to carry this guilt around .
i promise i'll take good care of it .

today i learnt ,
from the skin doctor .

the perfect definition of
physical pain .

i broke my wrist before ,
twice .
i had countless times of insane
muscle pulls while gyming .
getting tackled , tao pok , speared
on the Rugby pitch .

but yet today on that comfy little cushioned bed ,
i finally knew the true definition of pain .

under the wrath of a little sharp needle ,
a pair of delicate fingers of the doctor's ,
with the help of my sensitive skin ,
and no anesthetic .

PAIN .

_______________

hmm say ,
i spent these few days with some
mixed feelings bahs .

a dice of
sour ,
ache ,
anticipation ,
sore .

a spick and spat of
warmth ,
happiness ,
joy .

garnish it with some
exasperation ,
confusion .

but yet , moments of clarity .

dont worry ,
im not emo-ing .

how ironic though .

went out with the fo tang people
to marina barrage for countdown .

thanks to li rong for inviting ,
had a great time .

while the ladies had their girls talk ,
johnny and i ended up talking about bodybuilding supplements .

really crowded there , but we managed to get a decent spot
on the bridge .

we annoyingly missed the actual digit countdown ,
and we stepped into 2009 without knowing it .

fireworks were really good though .

we took a reaaallllllly comfy $2 chartered bus to tampines for
early supper , but ended up at a 24/7 vegetarian stall in ang mo kio
cus the tampines one's closed .

the mee pok's was spicy but good heh . i'll have no idea how
to go back there next time though .

shared a cab home with li rong after that .

i'll like to apologise to anyone and everyone

i offended , and my state of frenzy .

seriously

im really sorry .

_______________

well about the oath to quit drinking ?

it was utterly shattered yesterday .

no wonder grandpa said i should never drink .

grandpa really knows .

i am really really scared of myself .

and i definitely wouldn't want it to affect any of my friends .

im going to quit drinking NOW ,

with no conditions tied .

no excuses of self proclaimed necessity for drinking .

no self proclaimed occasional and situational drinking .

i shall never drink ever . EVER

its now on the same line as my vegetarianism .

_______________

class barbecue was enjoyable ,

and yeah , im glad alot of people turned up .

for the moments i was sober i actually had fun .

and i believe everyone else did .

just returned from Astrogazer event .

turn out was actually ,

surprisingly decent .

we had a good spread of children , young adults and parents

attending the observation .

and the weather , was superb .

clear skies throughout .

and thanks to SHAAAAA for coming down and helping out (:

random shots when we were waiting for the people to come :

Outfield

my primary observing scope now , switched for mobility

and quality .

the peeps who helped out through the entire event . thanks a ton !

(as usual , you have to click on the following pictures for the best effects)

shot i took yesterday when the night was clear .

close up of the Orion Constellation . 20sec exposure .

shot i took after the event . Wide view of Orion , Taurus , and Pleiades .

15secs exposure .

still no answer from recruit express .

which means no job .

im calling up another agent , heard its much more efficient .

if this goes on ,

i'll probably volunteer at the Zoo or SPCA or something .

its about finding something purposeful to do .

and of course ,

who minds a little cash incentive ?

ups and downs , actually just downs .

moving on actually requires something to move on to .

competition's over , pretty glad it is .

i didnt get into the finals ,
but all i know is that i played to my own satisfaction .

i did panicked a bit when i played my first note in the hall ,
becuase ive never heard my notes with such clarity before for a long time .

though anyway , it wasnt really my intention
to join the competition anyway .

but still
it was one heck of a learning journey for me .

till my enlistment in april at least ,

im pretty much unbounded by anything .

what's it like to be free ?

i pulled my forearm muscles .

and it hurts reeaaaaaaal bad , among other things that hurts .

but this pain is pretty overwhelmingly insane .

_______________

tried out with my ccd imager yesterday morning ,
had to wake up 2 hours early to catch it by my window .

this was what i got
thats 14 individual pictures ,
jigsawed into 1 big mosaic .

and this is barely even 1/3 of the moon .

it was taken in bright daylight ,
had to render it B/W due to contrast differences .

i have another 32 frames moon picture
which is a pain to frame it up into 1 mosaic .

but up till now ,
im still pretty satisfied with what my new imager
is churning out .

_______________

and hahahh ,
ive been getting alot of
seriously ?!
what !
omg !

yeah im done drinking .
SERIOUSLY lol .

lets just say ,

its personal .

_______________

other than that ,
these days at home waiting for the lit paper

is rather eventless .

spending alot of time staring into thin air ,
stoning .

or well , staring into the computer screen but .
it still gets boring after a while .

i announce that ..

2008-11-16T21:36:00.003+08:00

i officially quit drinking .

i mean yeah , for sure .
for those who know me how much i loved to drink

for real .

i heard that my grandpa
said , when i was really young , that i shouldnt drink next time .

im respecting that .

i shall thus announce that
i will not abuse my free authority to drink anytime i want ,
and will only drink on occasions which i deem ,
drinking is necessary .

seriously .

_______________

i dont know , just felt like saying that out loud .

hah .

its seriously getting rottingly bored at home .

the fact that , LIT on friday , is something
you cant really study too much for ,
and something
you cant really study too early for .

is annoying .

its like one part of me screaming
"ey , STUDY . LAST PAPER"

and the other part screaming (obviously louder)
"HAHAH still got so long , and you cant really study lit !"

_______________

recent days of slight freedom ,
got me thinking .

about older stuff , things .

i dont want to dwell on it but
when something with such massive stop-thinking-about-anything-else power ,
namely the major exam , is now mostly over .

somehow it just naturally swells back into my mind .
like it finally reached the front line of thinking ,
after queuing up for so long ever since
i decided to dump it to the back of my mind .

make a conclusion ?
perhaps im just afraid .

_______________

gonna camp out the evening for something in the sky
thats worth taking by my window

friday .
i couldnt wait to fix my scope .

i daringly asked my mum to allow me to use my own cash

yes my own , those i earned last year slogging off as a teacher .

after a heated debate with her ,
i was finally granted access to my bank account .

_______________

slinging my scope on my shoulders ,
i headed down to science center to get my scope fixed .

but first things first , cash .

i wandered into Jurong POSB bank and for the first time ,
queued up in a bank .

security guard kept staring at me .
clearly my scope in my black Nike bag fitted into the grid of
"suspicious object"

i applied for a few cards , updated a some details left
unscathed ever since the creation of my account ,
and THAT was really long ago .

_______________

i purchased a few vital accessories to further
my journey in astrophotography .

a 32mm eyepiece .

to add to my collection of
a 40mm eyepiece .

along with a set of
three vibration suppression pads to
reduce mount vibration for precise photography .

and finally
a CCD solar system imager

thats equipped with
a painfully sensitive CCD chip .

_______________

phew , that was a long photojournal of my purchases .

here are the results of today's session ,
armed with new eyepieces and V. suppression pads .

im back .

_______________

cant wait to use the ccd imager ,
i need the moon by my window , cus it needs to be hooked up
to my PC .

for now ,
im off to sleep .

everyone's rejoicing .
today marked either the last paper ,
or second last paper for many .

clearly i am the unfortunate latter ,
who have to wait 8 more days to declare absolute freedom .

lit urgh .

8 days a lil too long to study lit anyway .

_______________

at least we have the class outing and class chalet to look forward too .

and my numerous photo outings when im geared up .

and my trip to most possibly new zealand .

my long break before national service .

re-pick up air-rifling .

pick up e-guitar .

finally practice/make
music
without
worries .

liberty , freedom .

_______________

notice i didnt mention gaming .

somehow gaming's getting a lil too overshadowed by all
these things i wanna do above .

but be sure i will game , and i do hope those promises by peeps
to join me in game will be kept .

but heck .

planting my butt in front of the computer and game
isnt the way to spend 5 months .

LIT .

2008-11-09T21:06:00.002+08:00

been mugging lit for the day .

not doing me much good
since theres so much to remember .
to learn .
to absorb .
to comprehend .
to understand .

and its turning me slightly wonky too .

_______________

four papers left ,

Lit , CSE , International History , Lit .

realise that its ALL writing subjects .
if i count , thats 13 essays more .

THIRTEEN .
thats more then 10,000 words .

phew .

and i thought i survived alot .

this week's gonna be packed and tough .

prepare for more wonkiness from my side .

_______________

somehow this A's doesnt feel a wee bit long .
i cleared 5 papers , 4 more to go .

ive been through more than half of it , and through my
most hated subjects .

i ought to buck up , this massive week
will pass quick .

and somehow the three hours per paper
doesn't feel as long as the prelims or any other exams .
maybe its because we are all writing for a better sake ,
and squeezing everything possible we learned in two years
on that piece of paper .

im contradicting myself .
1st sign of wonkiness .

dazed .

2008-11-08T11:01:00.012+08:00

had my maths statistics paper yesterday .

and i just learned statistics 1 day before the paper .

yes , the ENTIRE statistics syllabus ,
thanks to Ms Seah .

it was actually pretty decent , the statistics part .
i could actually DO statistics with confidence for the first time .

and as usual ,
he first section was a turnoff .

_______________

i got extremely fortunate and lucky yesterday night (or today morning) ,
my half-hopeful trip downstairs
turned out to be the most rewarding session .

i caught NEBULAS .
you heard me , yes , nebulas .

but clearly i did not have the equipments ( and skills ) to capture
similarly beautiful images on the books .

but dang , i caught nebulas .

first up , the Pleiades Star Cluster .

here it goes ( im will accompany a untagged photo with a tagged one from now on ,
just for a clearer view without lines and arrows obstructing ) :
click on them for a much clearer view .

Pleiades Star Cluster

Pleiades Star Cluster Closeup

Pleiades Star Cluster, perhaps the most famous nebula in the sky , is also one of the most distinguishable . Also known as the Seven Sisters (Greek mythology), and Subaru to the Japanese (uhmm yes , Subaru car company actually adopted the Pleiades as its car logo)

(thanks to Zane for pointing out its not a nebula , and a star cluster instead)

hmms ,

it may look like just a patch of stars in these pictures (even a patch of stars are amazing) , in actual fact , with the equipments and skills , it'll look like this : thats a comet on the right , and Pleiades on the left .

Up next :

Orion Nebula
Orion Nebula in the Orion Hunter Constellation .
the brightest and most identifiable nebula in the sky .
nuff' said .

upclose (credits to Remus from Singastro):
_______________

phew , im still dazed from yesterday's expedidtion .
i saw too many things , though my scope is uncollimated .

jawdropping .

_______________

Lit on monday .
i better start hitting the books .

and for real , Lit needs ALOT of brushing up .
which means hitting LOTS of books .

urgh .

2008-11-04T20:32:00.005+08:00

sigh .

maths wasnt good .

i heard a few "i lost alot of marks !" , "this sucks" , "GG" .
and a handful of "okay luhs" .

for me it didnt went that well ,
but i can say i did and tried my best as promised ,
squeezing and lemonading every braincell i could onto the maths script .

lets see how it goes .

_______________

heard H1 was terrible too .

makes me wonder ,
(along with the complaints from GP , unexpected History questions)

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS YEAR'S A'S ?

hmms .

and i thought our batch's the surprisingly good one .
with previous benchmark breakers at the PSLE and O's .

but hey .
maybe im wrong , maybe im just stuck in this little space with a few others .
others might be doing
WELL .

_______________

finally ,
after considering that my maths starts at 2pm today ,
i took a breather and took a trip not far downstairs to take a few pics .

no zooming , no nothing , just with a plain camera ,
with my scope as a mount .
(clearly because my scope is baaaaaaaadly out of alignment)

i finally learnt how to take longer exposures of 8 seconds !
NIGHT MODE

dumb enough .

anyway here it goes :

Part of the famous Constellation Sagittarius in the sky ,
undetectable with naked eyes under the pollution and terrible moonshine .
only visible after exposure shots :D
(click on it to see individual stars and names)

Jupiter , Moon , Venus lined up . (top to bottom)
very clear night yesterday .
(that thing on the left's the head of my scope)

tonight's skies kinda suck though .

_______________

time passes pretty fast with the
exams going on .

good thing .

stomach's grinding again ,
need to head to the toilet .

GP .

2008-11-03T19:11:00.003+08:00

GP was gross .

gross .

eww .

but hmms .

i tried my best , i did myself justice .

wasnt THAT bad ,
i made a decent effort , but its just gross .

_______________
im not going to expect too much
from maths tomorrow , just going to go in
and try my best , do my best .

dont wanna let anyone down , 'specially ms seah .

and myself .

_______________

2 days of exams down ,
6 more to go .

heys it isnt that bad .
its going by pretty quick .

its good when you have the post-exams madness to look forward to .

_______________

im feeling sick already though .

cough , throat , flu . common illnesses .
just feel slightly drowsy .

PLUS the painful tooth .

bad deal ,
bad timing .

_______________

looks familiar ?
perhaps like the Moon ?

nahhhhhh .

thats Mercury , the closest planet to the Sun .
(certainly not taken by me . Credits to MESSENGER Spacecraft)

amazingly its not the hottest planet in the System .
Venus win's hands down on this one , winning a whopping 66 °C at 466 °C .
despite being twice as far to the Sun as Mercury .

im starting to drill maths .
