still alive

its been a long while. anyway so many things have happened lately but i just dont have the time to go through everything. the point being, hey at least i'm still alive and rather well.


If trouble is a friend, i've got plenty haha. okay lenka has knocked me off my staple playlist of kpop beats and emo chinese melodies.

annoyed

i never thought i'll have to do this to release all the pent up stress.

i like to keep myself busy because i really hate wasting time. i try to multi-task, to the extent that it is way beyond average human level. i understand some people were inquisitive enough to stake out sam's fs and ask questions like "eh is prin so poor he has to work at cineleisure?"

I love money. It drives me to do things. But I really enjoy what I'm currently doing now, so much more than the aspect of money. And come on, its a fashion boutique, and i get to exercise my creative juices while I'm at it. nothing against fast food chains cos its an honest living, but look my boss pays me a lot more than that.

anyway, back to why i love money so much. this is a topic im confronting for the first time
1) I like to buy my gf nice, expensive presents (cameras, airtickets, branded stuff, etc)
2) I need to pay for my lifestyle cos my mom's not holding herself accountable for any of that shit
3) I feel insecure without money, i like to hoard it to the extent that I make myself feel broke. if you get what i mean
4) I tend to be ridiculously generous at times, but still someone has to settle the tab. (Except for my core clique, cos we all suscribe to the notion of "tab-sharing" <3)
5) I love getting things done, from scratch. Building things up and along the process, it gives me money.

but this mentality, this cash-fuelled driving force has to change soon. real soon i'd say. in lieu of my upcoming industry. *come on, do you think the government increment's much of a motivator? It has to be passion and satisfaction from now on.

Digressing, I still remember filling up my C.V for MOE and how many douchebags my age can lay claim to having tried out so many industries before? I started out working in molly malones as a server/bartender. and because i pretty much liked that lifestyle back then, i was poached to be an events-manager at the now-defunct dining bar at raffles place (defunct not by my hands, but my previous boss sold the business and made a tidy sum, following which the entire building had to be demolished) I've dabbled in property as well, waking up early to attend showflat duties, bringing people around in and out of sentosa, marketing W-residences, and one project near Zouk, centennial suites i think. I've hosted numerous events under Freemansland, the first place i learnt about ownership, sense of belonging and responsibility. got burnt, but oh well thats all part of life. The list non-exhaustive, but can the normal detractor hovering about on social media beat that?

summarizing my life-experience in short, i'm not like WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH  but I deem it more respectable than couch-potatoes whose primary source of income stems from their parents. . And my mom is sibei 'giam-siap' with me, if i might add.

I have an impeccable ability in social-butterflying, making friends, but ... keeping them by my side is a different thing altogether. Quoting jon, "Brah, its easy to misunderstand you, but its damn hard to hate you" *hes not a girl, duh.

i really love the people around me now. at least silly relational matters of the heart will never destroy our closely-knitted friendships.


oh and i heard about how rumours spread about this one incident in year 1 (yes thats how long ago it was) during Dr Rahil's lesson. that she stepped on my shoes and i loudly exclaimed "excuse me those are ferragamos"

Look, nitwits. 

1) Dr Rahil is not one to be trifled with and anyone with a brain will not respond in such a manner to her. I probably would, to the perpetuators of this rubbish rumour since you stepping on my shoes would surely cause me such an intense body-wrecking, innard-tearing pain

2) In actuality, she merely commented, "nice brown shoes Prinya" and i responded with a wide, charismatic grin, inserting "yes mdm, its ferragamos"

De-bunked. I'm too busy this year this semester to even bother anymore. And i don't even bother dressing up anymore because in school, course materials, a laptop and a nice face as an accessory are more than sufficient. (Pls don't wallow in self-pity, just pray life is kinder to you the next time round)

good Lord, let this be the last time i actually try to explain my actions and intentions.

crazy schedules

okay work is officially piling up. school - work - friends' work

anyway heres a belated happy bday shout-out to Gavin Goh and Eric Lim. pictures will be out (once again, cos the camera is not in my hands) sorry for the pangseh-ing, gav. make it up to you another time.

i can't wait for everything to fall in place nicely, now that the fredericsai website is up, though with some border glitches, etc.

next step?  :) lets start bringing the business out of cineleisure. i'll like to believe that everyone around me is able to contribute in one way or another. *Hint Hint Joshie.




work aside, i came across this really disturbing incident via facebook. heres the link
http://joshuaongys.com/2012/09/abuse-case-facebook-calven-chik-foo-keong-hits-amanda-fong-kim-yen/

okay to summarize it, basically a man abused his pregnant wife to the tune of bruises all over and possibly injuring the 2 month old fetus in her belly. thats sad. but whats sadder is how the entire saga degenerates into a vicious online episode. and i used to think that public airing of dirty linen was almost exclusively a western culture. if not for social media, i suppose many matters like these would have been underground.


btw, sam's having a flea this saturday at scape. do come down and support!

phoenix rising from ashes

wow its been such a turbulent and chaotic week. now that i've managed to catch my breath, here's some quick updates.

First up, thank you everyone for your support and concern. (You know who you are) Personal emotional issues have been officially 'put to rest'. I love her, thats all that matters. * Gulps. It wasn't your usual kind of drama and the storyline, is pretty sad actually.

occasion being the boys clearing the SIM-UOLs.  

                                                     my gang nam style friend, Adrian  

                                       Tom (left)   Jon (Right) *Congrats first class honours!

my jc buddy, justin. 

and all of them going corporate while leaving ad and i to face the torments of schooling. just wanna get it over and done with ahhhh!

Major thanks to those who turned up for the Frederic Sai launch event last thursday. Pictures will be out soon! It was really very draining having to deal with all those last minute logistics, getting screamed at by a very fussy boss (okay la he's nice so forgiven) and finally 1-man-showship of waitering, serving, and pr-ing. but my takeaway from that one event was tremendous. the experience was worthwhile.

i stayed up all night to finish preparing for a presentation tmrw and along the way i cleared like truckloads of irritating readings and mini-assignments plus i've officially started on term papers.


btw i got to meet some regional and local bloggers recently over some work collaborations like Yutakis, Eric Lim, Sophie Willocq, etc. hell yea, they're friendly people with no airs about them despite being rather famous and popular.


okay. time to go to school

And so I left with a heavy heart. Luggage aplenty. This relationship was wonderful, but sometimes if you love someone you have to leave her. Before you become a burden. I love you. I swear I do.

And so I left with a heavy heart. Luggage aplenty. This relationship was wonderful, but sometimes if you love someone you have to leave her. Before you become a burden. I love you. I swear I do.

the end

'cause all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

i suppose this is the most meaningful song i've ever used, to remember a person. that it'll be you turning out this way certainly took me by surprise. its time to ditch all the alter-egos, and revert to the original self-bashing one.

i'm sure you'll find solace soon enough. go on, fan the flames, but as it will and eventually must, die off. go forth and find happiness, i sincerely wish you all the best.

because alcohol weakens my resolve, i will never turn to it again to tide through unhappy moments. my head hurts like crazy.

alright, good old studies and work first.


God, where do i go from here?

feeling sick like . . . nobody's business

wednesday is officially the most detested and ridiculous day of this new semester. fancy making my way down just for 1 stupid lesson from 830 to 930. but the saving grace is that this module is actually rather interesting considering my love for ancient chinese/japanese origins. in case you're in the dark about this, i'm a hardcore sangoku fan. BUT BUT BUT spare me all that talk of a particular race of people originating from a Sun goddess, especially when i don't even subscribe to the christian notion of humans descending from adam and eve. no disrespect intended but to me, humans and human efforts > intervention of any god.

and just to add, i've been puking a bit lately, maybe its my stomach subconsciously resisting the intake of rubbish food whatsoever. but i'm actually praying for the reoccurrence of my kidney stones saga to bring about a 10kg weight loss.



a few more hours to fluffy. *fast forwards






somehow i dont know why i never thought of performing this for hall events. there's zilch opportunities for it now and oh well lets just enjoy it original.

technically my first day of school

i'm so not used to this. waking up real early to travel half the island's distance just to get to school. it seems as if 3 months just passed by without biding farewell. 

apparently i'm supposed to send in an audition clip for this _________ thingy introduced by a good friend. and that if it takes off i can finally move on in my life. but then again that isn't quite exactly what i want now.

what i really want now is to get my ass back home tucked in bed and with the aircon at full blast. 

i'm a defeated man once again. what wrong did i commit by choosing to walk the path of silence? 

我终于知道内疚

this song is perfect for emo-ing, not that I have any reason to do so currently. been on my replay for several times already and never fails to make my hair stand.

teach me how to blog cos i lost it all

and finally the rest of my buddies from SIM are thoroughly done with all their examinations. except jon if he accepts the l.s.e offer for his masters.

and 4 of them gave me a mega-surprise, with a ticket to taiwan to celebrate my 24th. wow. i'm quite speechless but fluffy didn't appreciate that though. so i'll be going off on the 14th of june till the 19th. and then . . . . . .

feels like i'm being chased back into the forest. good night forest friends.

Love

Picked this up from a book. That men need to be physically loved before they can commence on emotional love, whereas it's the complete opposite for women. Do you agree?

The wholesale fashion market is so big. But I only found one men's wear that's worthy of importing from. Haha I want a career switch to be a part time merchandiser!

Sadly the cramps have hit fluffballz and she's lying in bed now trying to battle it off. :(

Bangkok is so ....

Beautifully messy. Managed to get a sim card here fr 300baht and it comes with unlimited Internet for a week.

It is so hot here thank god I'm really dressing down like madness. Need to wake up early for some tour thingy tnrw but it's gonna be a waste of time though. And for dinner, we headed to baiyoke sky tower, some restaurant on the 81st floor, ate out in the open and wah the view was sick. But if you look downwards it's really freaky. I almost threw up when fluffy suggested they should provide bungee jumping activities . Ewwwwww


And just one more thing. Work is getting crazier and sometimes I feel as though I'm being marked down, but oh wells work is about doing what you're paid to do, nothing more nothing less. Doesn't pay to be enthusiastic when people take what you're doing to be shit.

Somehow the airport inspires me. Just figured a marketing strategy. Will share it when I'm back. Vacation with Fluffball finally. I'm settled once again, guess alcohol really eats the sorrow away along with the pent up hulkness building in me.

just kill me

the boys keep me sane. i have stopped being a social butterfly, party animal, late night owl, etc. All i really want is to spend 7 days a week with you, but out of the 7 days, at least 1/3 of a day, A DAY with them.is it too much to ask for? i'm so frustrated and stressed out by everything in life now, although academically everything seems to be working out fine. i'm just gonna freaking walk till my legs give way. thats HOW SCREWED UP MY HEAD IS NOW.

i miss the dawg

Great night

Joshie's a wonderful person to turn to when you need multiply-varied and if I might add, colourful perspectives to face certain relationship conundrums. The key is to be able to recognize The things, people, goals in life that you prize, and perhaps by ranking them empirically. Certainly resonates with what ad was telling me about his business ethics studies, looking at the overall happiness / utilitarianism theory when you're caught in a dilemma. Everyone has different locks, but this key is surely a master key to them all.


And wangzai milk's a great way to kick start a great morning. Gonna start stocking this. Le shit is the bomb.

Hope sales will be better today so that the big bad wolf stops huffing an puffing at my door. But that's cool, I'm titanium after all

Famished

I'm so hungry cos I skipped dinner. And I couldn't really perform today, don't know if it's the crowd or if my style's being cramped. Heck it's pay day soon and I'll be off to Bangkok on Tuesday with fluffballz. Time to recharge!

saturdays

i dont really like the new blogger interface. but heck. its an awesome saturday morning after we woke up early to walk wolfie.caught up with my niece and nephew. and the dog still remembers me. =))))))))) i'll update again laters when pictures are up. a few more days to BKK woooohooo!

Final paper

Let's just say I didn't really make full use of the 4-5 days barrier to prepare. But life's too short for regrets. Just gonna pray my fluid writing pulls me through this otherwise 'content' based paper.

1 down

On 2nd thoughts it wasn't that bad after all. But it felt like I studied a whole chunk for nothing ballz.

FYI I left the hall early cos I wrote too fast till my palm's aching like madness. The last time I left out of desperation and futility was in year one, and the quitting has stopped since then.

And I just got back sim's paper. I have a funny affinity with Bs this semester, at least I'm not seeing any Cs or Ds yet *Choyyyy

I'm screwed

Not like this is the first time, but I'm screwed all over again. And it isn't gonna be the last time either. But.. How do you expect anyone to really memorize an entire book full of strange language acquisition concepts? Apart from a few grammatical errors I picked up from the book, some stuff in it were just fundamentally wrong. In my opinion at least. Cantonese is a dialect where it's written form is the same as mandarin, pronunciation is different.

The innatist, behaviorist and interactionist concepts are so strange because, all the research done and claims made are hypotheses. I have a feeling that to do well for this paper, it's gonna involve good old smoking through. Cept that you gotta smoke in the "right" direction.

Okay it's the complete opposite situation this time round though cos I'm dying to have a go at my hist papers.

Fluffy is coming over for GG5 laters, I really can't wait to see her and hug her. Arghhhh max

Dry your tears with love

its like however hard i try to introduce permutations into my blog entries, its increasingly reflecting my personal life and thoughts rather than how i envisioned it to be like.

by the way, i woke up in cold sweat cos my dream revolved around fluffball leaving me. it was so real oh gosh. and here i'm at ecp starbucks with neil and chua, trying to salvage whatever information i can gather from a very boring book. its exams tmrw but yea i'm not really feeling nervous though. no really.

exams

2 more days to the start of it. but i strongly believe what is fueling me through this, apart from the sinful macs breakfast, is the BKK getaway with fluffy like almost right after exams. adrian (smu) finishes his papers on the 24th. yours truly, 25th. And the rest of our beloved folks from SIM, one month later ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! okay push on!

i love you fluffy i really do,

if you can open my chest and see my heart,

you'll find that it really beats for you.

melt me all over again and again

anyway this is the OST for a richie ren and sammi cheng movie, Summer Holiday which i chanced upon on channel 50 miotv while trying to get through the last few chapters. can you imagine how we'll be like when we are old? I dunno but I'm sure we'll be travelling around the world, wrinkly hands upon each other's <3

i want the cat

fluffy and i are so in love with this cat that we actually go to his fb page so many times just to look at the cat album. the owner got nothing much to look at you see. HA HA HA HA HA.

meet tommy, fred's persian cat that he has left in thailand. what for?! and there's some picture of tommy somewhere, with his fur shaved and him looking absolutely pissed off. alright in future when we have our own place, an orange persian cat with very "dulan" features is a must have. <3



this song is so old school, and yes i'm way happier than i used to be. almost foolishly but just saying, that i will ever be.

What a night

Funny how a night progressed till like this, but I'm just glad I got my friends to cover my ass. Jon and Ad, machiam like ally and aj. Mink's crew was very professional ystd, kudos to them. But your female "manager" leaves much to be desired, for fcking trying to instigate a fight. Glad my friends didn't have to bail me out, and the most 怨望 award goes to ad who got punched for nothing. Thankfully my other self didn't get the better of me, or I might actually be behind a lock-up today.

This is pretty random but I have a gf who can take all my shit, and still look me in the eye telling me she loves me.well guess what, I love you very much too.

Finally

I'm a slacker, procrastinator wearing my aviators but I'm certainly no researcher. With the stupid research paper out of the way, I'm ready to go full swing for my exams next week. But as of now, time for some much needed fluffy time!

Ignored. Great.

At least there's Totoro on tv

havnt slept since . . .

thinking back, many thanks to those who ever left me to die, so that i might learn a lesson or two. that i did. and sorry to those who were there 24/7, for your efforts rarely paid off. but its always appreciated, even if my mouth doesn't speak it, my heart does.

no i'm not venturing into the 'what-ifs' and 'what-nots' now. glad to be in my shoes now actually, did i mention i steered clear of trouble this semester? glad that the people around me don't have much expectations of each other so its a lot easier and natural getting along.

Ooo someone just tried to hack my accounts lol!

Anyway trip's confirmed! Can't wait for exams to be over. This time I'm heading to bangkok with fluffy. It's a place of many memories for me, coming across a cobra at home and watching my mom throw pots and pans at it, no literally, when I was a small boy. Those days when my smelly pillow was still in a yellow casing before it evolved to what it is today.

I'm gonna try this holiday without a single wee bit of clubbing involved. Let's see how this goes.

One more assignment

I'm gonna get some good rest tonight. Cause I need to finish up the last research paper for this semester by this week. Suddenly my other term paper looks like shit but I don't really care anymore. My eyes are so heavy, my soul feels like its drifting from my body.

Anyway if you have time you ought to grab a copy of the new paper today before noon sports edition. Look at the last page and laugh at the silly fans who dissed us Singaporeans. Might I add, Malaysia is like god knows how many positions away from us in the international corruption gauge thingy. And its an unspoken trait in a majority of them to be racist. LOL. But it's okay cos it reflects others in a more positive light. At least the others don't do nothing all day and wait for government handouts. Notice the ob markers I'm taking great pains to avoid.

Bersih 3.0? Bull shit 3.0.

Great Day suddenly

just when i stepped out of her office earlier before tutorial (i wanted to confront death earlier cos it was hay-wiring my psyche) i was dreading receiving my termpaper. she was very annoyed by my sloppiness in the paper (and yes she wanted to see me about my term paper), with consistent errors in my citations etc. i asked her if i failed it and she didnt want to say anything cos all the papers were down in the tutorial room. she asked me some questions about my health and yea dismissed me after that for tutorial.

at the beginning it was really scary because she was like )&*^^&(*%^(%&(^%*( this batch of term papers are not good. Average grade is a C and some of you even got Ds. Moderations will depend on the final grade given, and in consideration of tutorial participation (of which i should get a full) and so with that i was expecting a D. cos previously i asked her if i even got a C or i failed, judging from the immense displeasure on her face in her office. but but but but but but

trolled to the max. i thought i jizzed in my pants when i saw a B+. But to be honest before she hauled me in I was expecting an A. but all thanks to the disabling of words spell check, the errors pissed her off and she gave me a B+. OMG *Jumps for joy. all the various "good intro, good effort, good closure, etc" didnt seem real.

okay back to reality and to stop gushing over the shocker. i have another term paper to finish by today and i'm sure i can get an A+ for this.

Liverpool why your season not reviving like mine?

Bad day

Although its a good thing that El Classico is still very much possible in the CL, here's a few reasons why it's gonna be a horrid day for me.

1) I have to see Dr Rahil after tutorial today and I hope it's not about the term paper. Anything else but that please. I have been a good boy, if you look at my history, one thing for sure is that assignment wasn't last minute as in last minute. -radin gave me like from 12-3 to complete my term paper. Certainly wasnt proud of it but I did it.

2) I'm so beat, yes and so is everyone. Just as you're gonna snigger, " my problem right?" then get out of my blog lol. cos "my problem, right?"

3) fluffy has gone home. But it might not entirely be a bad thing cos I need to submit another assignment by 12pm tmrw. Don't we wish it's post exams?

4) some American man sitting next to me giving a rather loud critique of erm possibly a student's language acquisition and development. Oh farang.

5) I don't think I can go for a hair cut anytime soon. This hairstyle is so heavy argh.

Funny stomach

2 more days to Indian essay submission. And all I really wanna do now is crash at home to an extreme adorable ensemble of gf and pillow an bed and blankets

prinya will touch no drop of alcohol from now on.

we so sticky like glutinous rice ballz

with ah drain at smu and yes, i finally got some assignments done. haha its a really conducive place. and now i'm tryna scam some of the ballers into coming down. okay i'm missing fluffball once again. its always like this, everytime we part i feel so out of sorts and cranky.

neil is coming to find us for dinner. which brings me to an interesting discovery thats really quite fun and funny to use.

for those of you who always don't know where to eat, or want to grab a simple beer at any where but don't know where, just head to

http://www.wherethefuckshouldigotoeat.com

the interface is easy to use but it can still be improved though. thanks to felicia for sharing this on facebook. Its so dumbed down that even I.T virgins should not have much difficulty accessing this. this is not limited to singapore, you can even try typing guangzhou china they will recommend places to eat/drink LOL!

i'm so inclined to bitch about work frustrations but then again embedded gender power structures predisposed me to a helpless, vulnerable position leaving my bits to the vultures for the taking.

looking for the streak of blue in this vulture's head

LIVERPOOL PLS DONT LOSE TO NEWCASTLE TONIGHT. andy caroll, its time for you to shine. you're playing against your old team. prove your worth.

this is so wrong from head to toe. apple was since 1976. and blackberry (er who gives a shit about RIM?)

lets not talk about the league positions. but liverpool has scored no more than 1 goal in 11 of their last 20 away-matches. lose this tonight im officially crossing over to the blue side, not in merseyside.(who gives a shit about everton?)

Breakfast

We decided to head to Spruce at tanglin Phoenix Park instead. Hope the big brekkie tastes good. I'm like having a major hangover all thanks to the
Ballers who spiked my beer.

It's like the first time I'm having a western brekkie meal, cos I don't have a thing for poached eggs and the sorts.

Okay I rate it like 5/10. The big brekkie I had was so-so. Even I can whip up something like this. No more breakfast meals like this for me!

Sian

The rain is so . . .

Okay I'm not looking forward to getting hauled in next week by rahil(cross fingers) I'm too lengzai to fail this assignment so come on woohoo!

I'm so hungry now argh!

Great night

3 jugs, 4 guys, 1 hour (+-) of fun @ smu's pub. It certainly felt as if we have all grown up, talking about grown up topics, adult boundaries of relationships. I really enjoyed it.

But luckily fluffy did a "find my iPhone" ring on me, if not I confirm cannot make it to sch.

Haha Fred is back, and he's gained like 7kg. Which is pretty healthy but I like to annoy him by suggesting a name change to fat sai. Lol!

Okay they are gonna release an assignment later that has to be completed by today. I hope I don't forget to do it, cos I'm overwhelmed with the prospects of seeing fluffy later that everything else is secondary.

One more Korean song to add, it's quite an ah lian beat, but it's catchy so heck. Check out T-ara's lovey dovey

Racism?

Not saying that racism is not a cause for concern, but sometimes we tend to give it too much attention to the extent that it's rather subjective definition blurs the main picture we should be looking at.

I for one, am against racism. But I'm even more against the destruction of a youngster's future over silly comments made within the confinements of a personal tweet space. It's already difficult to make your mark in Singapore, and having the stigma of being a racist to your name certainly amplifies that.

And since I'm doing a module on India, which is really a fascinating country that I hope to visit one day- Mumbai and Hyderabad specifically. I thought I might just wanna chip in my 2 cents worth on this. Let's face it, racism will always exist, even in the intricate system of a long existing caste system. Look at the differences between the Brahmans and the untouchables (not because they are invincible, but because literally nobody wants to touch them). The caste system is divided into 5 levels, within each level exists 100s or 1000s of different groups. It doesn't require a well read/educated person to get my point. You want to abolish racism? You have to start it from your roots. Abolish the caste system then. Hang on a minute, it's supposedly abolished officially :)

And I just got corrected by my lecturer, the untouchables are not even considered as part of the caste system. Yeap. Quit the comparisons, hating, anger and yea we might just successfully reduce the extent of racism- mainstream or underground

Barely soldiering on

When fluffy dug up my old tweets and hauled me in for questioning, unexpectedly it brought up an old school tune to my head which I'm hittin on replay now as I drag my unwilling feet to school. For those of you who still remember The Ataris, they have a wonderful song entitled "San Dimas high school football rocks".

Well, been to Disneyland, went on all the rides (almost) and didn't have to wait in line. True story. Such a nostalgic feeling from the good ol secondary school days.

Anyways congratulations Johnny boy on your acceptance to LSE for your masters! I can't wait to see you boys haha!

Alright next song, mr saxobeat!

End of the day

I hate lessons that end at 630 pm. Wow fantastic baby.

Post Weekends + Mondays with Fluffy

okay everyone's like raving about their "Fantastic Baby" mv but i'm really more inclined towards this. This gives me a kinda mike posner feel though.

Been so busy lately I didn't have any time to do a proper update. But first up i'll like to reiterate that i didn't spoil the vacuum plug-head and that i kept it properly. grrrrr don't assume that i knew it was spoilt and i didn't notify you. grrrrr. okay enough rant-ed.

i'll like to apologize to Jek for not turning up at the party, i'll buy you dinner and drinks another time to make up for it yeap! sorry sorry! And once again, happy birthday!

tuesday is the new sunday, and we hate it so much because we have to part(gross right). But this weekend is gonna be quite interesting again, partly because i'm almost done with my assignments its just the irritating lingering bits i need to deal with. I finally submitted my hardcopy of the presentation. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Breakfast @ Prive (fluffy finally gets it because i really don't have a thing for western-centric breakfast)

And for trish's bday celebrations @ MBS. but before that we need to rush and get her birthday present =x. And lets see if we can get joshie out because hes invited as well. This time we gotta make sure we really take some pictures because this blog is starting to get too wordy. BORING.

i highly doubt we'll be going for any after-party (refer to the pact made about not clubbing) but but but i'm pretty sure we'll have a great time.

And here's another mv, its a 2008 release by taeyang, thats like 4 years ago?!. but the dance is so slick and to quote a stranger on youtube, its probably where chris brown got his moves from ha ha ha. And the song is so catchy dont know why i missed it for so many years, but lets see, 4 years ago i think i was just entering ns so i had no time for youtube. I think he's sponsored by Chromehearts (a brand fluffy introduced me to), its really hard for asian males to pull it off without looking like an ah-beng (street gangster)

From fluffball's formspring apparently someone commented that he/she thought i was rather serious/cool based on pictures, but am actually rather localized upon reading my blog. you shouldn't be expecting anything foreign from me despite the thai background because i'm really Singaporean through and through apart from when I speak, my accent when i speak mandarin gives me away. no i don't speak like a thai/singaporean, but its asian nevertheless.

this reminds me of when we first met actually, at zouk, was really darn high on _____ and fluff actually thought i was damn quiet and cool. (if we're stangers, cool-yes, quiet-no, my close friends can attest to my social idiotism) On the very next date, she was overwhelmed though.

its week 12 now. exams are really nearing. 18,19,20,25th april. but after that we'll be going away for a couple of days, land of a 1000 smiles. i can't wait. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

The Notion of Regret

aren't we allowed to make mistakes in life? i've had blunders after blunders after blunders but i think im still turning out fine. hate it when my past, attempts to play catch up, if my reputation precedes me as a don juan, so be it. can't help it if ever in a certain point of time in your life, i've fallen for anyone or vice versa. its the notion of reciprocation, it takes two hands to clap for every issue out there. can't help it if i ever were an eager beaver filled with love, out there in this world, so desperate to love and be loved in return. for me, it was completely possible to fall in love and out of it easily, given seconds, minutes, hours, days and that i could never be on my own. (but i've tried and well its about partitioning my school and social life)

concurrently,

i've the hottest girl i can ever snag. and that does not imply her being a trophy gf or something. its just an isolate physically-inclined comment that i have been dying to spew out. and i don't want to even talk about all her other virtues because that will make everyone else fall deeply in love with her. i'm selfish by nature you see. but watch out, the whine-o-meter is 20/10 in an enclosed room but thankfully in public its almost non-existant haha. i love you fluffy bear, stop picking at the bits of salmon stuck between my teeth.

gotta brace myself for an influx of wedding invites, cos it seems many people in my social circle are getting hitched. I wonder when it'll be my turn.

its monday again and i've since stopped rooting for liverpool. at least until they take dalglish off and start doing something serious. besides losing seriously.

I love you fluffy

Monstrously hungry

Hungry

And so that translates into an impromptu lunch buffet at holiday inn, windows on the park, with fluffy. Its at kramat lane, just got to walk along alleybar that area to get there eventually.

Okay finally. er but without pictures cos we always forget to take them. anyways damage was about $68+- for both of us, kudos to a promotion for major credit cards. 1 for 1 deal. not sure about the dinner though.

The selection of food was quite limited, say around 10-15 odd dishes to choose from. But thankfully the taste wasnt as bad as what some people put on hungrygowhere. i suppose their lunch offerings are different daily but basically what i had was like ... (supposed international buffet but it felt more like asian delights or something)

Seafood

1) Sashimi

2) Prawns

3) Mussel Salad

4) Hong Kong style fried crispy prawns

They had sushi but yea i'm rather skeptical of buffet sushi-s so i gave it a miss.

Asian cuisine

1) Pineapple fried rice

2) Stir-fried beef or something like that

3) Some vegetables

4) Winter melon soup (yummy which i had like 5-6 servings)

5) This crusted thingy where you stuff like popiah filling into with eggs, grounded peanuts, etc

The salad bar was like shit though.

I was really quite hungry, so the food tasted pretty good. wrapped it up with the usual fondue and ice cream combi and i walked out a happy boy. The service was erratic, and inconsistent. Occasionally the staff will clear your plates but there was an instance when i managed to stack it up to like 4 plates they still did not clear it until i prompted them.

Verdict: Go for it only when there's the 1 for 1 promotion if you wanna grab lunch there. Ambience was only so-so.

i'm not a perfectionist and thats quite okay

can't stand asians who are so into portraying themselves as very americanized. come on, embrace your race and culture. that might make you a much easier person to get along with, directed in particular to a certain _______.

i couldn't bring myself to post anything the past few days because i'm really struggling with full body cramps, walking around like a bai kar (hokkien dialect for handicap) in school. i'm struggling with assignments and thats really killing me. weekends are my only source of solace now, when i'm able to free up some time to spend with fluff, friends, and some time of my own when i solo in the shop.

Weekends with fluffy

Okay I'm officially suaku. I didn't know that there's an app for mobile blogging !

unsurprisingly tired

i'm feeling so much healthier. though the otherwise relaxing game was rather marred by rude pinoys(who act as if they own the whole court, and tmd they played like shite), i managed to cut quite alot of calories by just running around with the ball.

i'll be quite busy tmrw, but hey guess who's staying over? I hope she brings chou chou though. i miss them both. :X

i hope rahil gives me a B- at least for my paper cos past few days since the submission i've been freaking out. like really freaking out cos i guess i didn't really abide by the parameters and guidelines set. In short, I DIDNT ANSWER THE QUESTION. OMG.

time to lose the fats

those were the days, i could run up and down a basketball court effortlessly. those days are gone. long gone actually. stamina to gyrate at clubs does not equate to real stamina for sports. but okay, my whole body is aching now which is a good sign i suppose. i can still play pretty okay but its nowhere near my secondary school trolling standards. the half court shots and rubbish. my lungs like want to burst when i attempted a simple lay up (cutting across opponents while at it of course)

what a joke. but lets see if i can keep this up and if all those scientific studies should have any truth in them, my attention span and energy should improve. which is what i need for this final burst to the semestral exams.

I MISS YOU FLUFFY. IM SO TIRED I WANNA DIE

why you so like that?

not funny its 1 goal now. gerrard for once i dont love you.

okay fine i love the hat-trick. finally some good showing by the KOP. but thats not enough to repay us faithfuls for all the faith, support and dollarbills put on you.

i look forward to you guys clinching the FA cup and the 4th placing, and finally apologizing to your 9023865423098691 fans out there, at the end of the season.

arsenal to crack and crumble along the way, next match they're playing an everton side looking forward to bounce back with a win. moyes my $ is on you.

okay time to go for my tutorial with a windy cramping stomach.

i need a doc...tor and a whole lot of MC-s

its been a real hectic few days. assignments and all. zomg. though round 1 is over, it was enough to wipe out the life in me. anyway some updates.

Couple bookmarks that baby made, apparently she's always wailing and i'm always stressed out. but thats not the case haha.

one of the items from H&M for $59.90, well its not bad but thankfully its colourful tones are rather subdued by dull colours so it doesnt turn out thaaaaat gay.

wanted to post this up so long ago. but this is one of the reasons for the currently studious me. its different when you carry a proper bag to school, fits a mac lappie+charger, pencil case, 2-3 books (medium size), my cologne and a slim water bottle, nicely. THANKS BABY, its the most practical and life-changing present i've ever received.

another practical gift from gavin, as mentioned in a previous previous post, with my name engraved on the side. i feel like spiderman already.

another piece from Fred's shop. about $69 or so, checkered shirts are so cliche but hey this one's nice but too bad my sizing's out so none for me!

what a cutie. took this a few weeks ago when i came across it with baby. and i actually fed it milk which it greedily lapped up. havn't seen it ever since and i hope its in good hands!

some korean restaurant at Jurong Point Lv 2, just next to Pepper Lunch. Damage was about $11 plus and i really wanted to eat pepperlunch but the queue was horrendous so yea hoped into this seemingly korean restaurant with a korean signboard

it was a let down and by no means, korean. Dr Rahil advocates questioning the source and everything else before leaping into taking a stand, making a choice and well that mantra is so damn true here. Because of this restaurant, in future whichever 'specialty' cuisine place i step into, i will make it a point to 1) Checkout the staffing (i have absolutely no problem with pinoys serving me, great service in fact) 2) Try to peep into the kitchen (cos the head chef of this place appeared to be some random malay dude ( this is superficial but hey, i'm sure i'll enjoy nasi lemak prepared by a malay chef over a korean chef any day)

Although its not that expensive, but do factor in the fact that i was so HUNGRY, the food tasted like shit, when everythings supposed to be tasty when youre hungry. Its like giving a man who's expecting to drink sprite, a glass of cold water instead. okay enough about that.

i'm not into taking like you know, random shots of strangers. but this guy(one in the middle) really made me want to KILL him. not taking him out of context, this chinese man actually said aloud: "I didn't get an opportunity to serve NS"(in mandarin), and with that kind of voice and a smug look. that statement's fine actually but its the tone and the smug look. and yes, in case you were wondering, he's a foreign-trash.

I'm not entirely complaining about foreign talent because I do know many of them who 1)employ locals, 2)"help" the economy grow, 3) Dress well, 4) Very chin-chai and not too bothered or fussy about things, 5) Are well-mannered. But these friends are a minority of the foreign-imports. Its this kind of FT-s that we want and need. I wonder how stringent is the immigration dept.

By the way liverpool and everton match is on-going, first half @ 27 mins currently 0-0 which is good because i placed my money on Total goals - 0 there pay out is 1:8 ha ha ha.

Liverpool's attacking is non-existent and they'll be hard pressed to even get a goal cos suarez, carroll and gerrard are shit, you cant expect skrtel (a defender) to keep saving the day. I don't even bother to analyze everton because, well there's only 1 team in Liverpool. true story!

fluffy

i can't wait to see my fluffy,
i'm almost done with work and schoolwork.
i can't wait to see my fluffy,
she sets my world on fire.
I'm hungry, cold and tired,
from this world of unjust and
double standards.
yet the focus on a single thought,
is unwavering, undivided.
i can't wait to see my fluffy,
she sets my mind inspired.

i wonder if she can't wait to see me too?

retail therapy

okay before everyone gets excited and think i struck the big sweep or something, this receipt belongs to one of my friends who works for SPH, urban paper(da weekly fashion paper), Rohai if you know him. I spent like 1/10 of that and i wanna peng* already.

anyways i finally did some much needed shopping, my wardrobe's getting too plain you see. the best time to shop is really in the morning. so after sending fluffy off to sch, i headed to H&M and got myself a couple of tees, shirt boxers and socks, basically essentials. but the tee is so awesome, the shirt is so gay (pics will be up soon), and damage was ... ... ... okay la, H&M stuff is starting to look betterrr and although many (like me) always kaopeh* that it is so mainstream and mass-market, but when i shop i just become genre-blind, with my value-4-$ goggles on and just pick what looks good on me. (pretty hard to find something that doesnt, if i might add) hur hur! BUT let me clarify, not trying to say anything but i wont be caught dead in 77th street stuff, NO FEAR, Ed Hardy, yea you know that kind cos it doesn't suit me. (contradicting whatever i said earlier about looking good in almost everything)

besides, its really not hard to find nice stuff @ H&M and they got basics too, so i was like picking things up and when it came to the bill, i was like @@!!! (lucky i dont drink so much anymore, $ put to better use)


then i decided to go over to pescado's, which is the shop next to fred's to look at their stuff. i gota pair of shoes there and finally, finally finally, the chain-like thingy for my keys (after spoiling the a-x and g-star one) damage was ...

i decided against getting the brown blazer @ fred's because, i really have too many blazers and jackets that i dont even wear. there's this g2000 faux leather one that i havnt even worn, impulse buy cos it was so cheap, like a 2 years ago.


i like to change my style every once a while lest my gf finds me boring. and the thought of that deals me a severe mental blow. like come on, anyone of you readers ever been through the situation when your partner wants you to tone down your lifestyle, but months later end up complaining that youre too monotonous and readable? Happens to my friends all the time though, lifestyle, fashion, etc. life is rather simple for me now(its like how many times i must say right?), but if there's one thing you should know, fluffy I'm full of surprises =) en mutation continuelle


okay i really need to go chiong my assignments now. i cant wait for tuesday when i can finally breatheeeee. zzzzzzzzzz. OH BTW, if anyone's looking for a part-time job in town, cineleisure, do let me know yea. send your details to prinyablackdiamond@gmail.com and i'll get back to you asap. we're hiring! and non-smokers please, cos the management here baulks/frowns at a model of an employee who constantly closes the shop for his/her smoke breaks.

Terminology-

*peng (faint in hokkien)

*Kaopeh (literally translation Quarrel with One's father, but essentially to make a big hoohah, a hokkien dialect word)

i'm not okay

you know whats harder than transcribing a heavily accented speech? transcribing a child's one. its that particular accent that makes it hard to pick up. and its killing me now. seems like the extra time allocated actually works against my advantage. i wanna strangle myself for not interviewing my niece argh. but nevermind now that its all said and done.

i really have to finish alot of assignments by tonight and its like i'm always procrastinating, getting myself in a comfortable neither here nor there position. argh i need sleep! i had to make my way back to school all the way from home today, and i was so tired that i didnt even bother to wax my hair. oh okay, a new low, i didnt even bother to wear contacts out. i have to last for a few more hours zomg.

and by the way...

i miss you sammy. i'll give almost anything just to crash at your place now. but now that chouchou's with you, i guess that sums up all the material things that mean anything to me, is with you.

F U, E

Sibei tulan. I hate it when people make insidious comments without considering the potential effects it might have on their intended and unintended audience.

For one, you are questioning our choice of lifestyle.

Whats it to you or anyone if we so decide to retire our partying lifestyle for weekends of cosying and cuddling?

Whats it to you if we love to see each other so much?

Whats it to you if i don't and will never get bored of it?

Its gonna be something to you if i actually have to get down to doing something about it.

I don't do anonymous calls, i like to state my name and purpose at the start of every call i make. Thats because my balls aren't confined to the soccer field, much unlike your sacrosanct and naive fuddly duddley. Why don't you concentrate your efforts on him, so that the day whereby you can pounce on him actually comes true.

I'm sorry if I know too many people. This might sound funny, but its possible to know too many people. I'm sorry if its the converse for you. and so, does it really matter who I know or don't? Quit talking about our lives and start building on yours. TMD.

with a face only a mother could love

oh and because i know too many people, guess what? your fuddley duddley was dumped because he was over-possessive and mentally pre-mature. Look, who cares right?

and now i'm actually here giving the ntu global lounge a shot. i wont be caught dead here if not for my ear phones cos this place tops the list of Unproductive Places to Study. Its so noisy, but i'll have to make do since my room is actually off the list.

What irritates me is when i see people hogging up tables with attached chargers and then putting their heads down to sleep.

anyways many thanks to gavjr who dropped by with jake yesterday night. though i was severely distracted by the beer, and didn't get to accomplish as much work as i had wished, I enjoyed and appreciated your presence. Thanks for the ultra cool lighter with my name engraved, you can bet that i wont ever lose it.

closet skeletons

okay i found a few other videos. this time its a chinese song and its pretty screwed up lol. cos i forgot where to start and mao(the pianist) was taking it too serious. was pretty nervous though because i suppose the alcohol effect was wearing off. and i can't believe how fat i was omg! once again.

on a losing streak but Y.N.W.A

If i could dedicate a song to this beloved club that i've been supporting since primary school days, it'll be 'Tearin up my heart".

"its tearing up my heart when i bet against you, but when i bet on you i feel it too. And no matter what i do i feel the pain . . . with or against you. "

come on your remaining fixtures (May excluded), aren't exactly that difficult. Newcastle, Everton and Aston Villa might give you a run for your money. but if you could even struggle to contain Brighton in the F.A cup arghhhh.

and i should have stuck to the golden rule of never betting on something you know nuts about. I dabbled with the La Liga, but of course after looking into some details, like Barcelona missing Messi due to suspension and Real Madrid drawing 1-1 with cska moskow previously. So i just played the first half and the results were going my way ... ...

and even on the BPL side when man-u was still drawing with tottenham,

and iniesta had to score. rooney had to score. cristiano had to score. good grief. TMD

After i'm done with exams, i'm gonna really sit down and start analyzing stats and stats and stats of a few core teams. Frequency of scoring, average timing, condition of key players, past 5-10 match outcomes, etc just to eke out a more accurate prediction just for a 1st half match. given the flippancies of this industry, staking it out on a full 90 mins + additional time is really quite stupid.

this photo's from jnthn, but i guess it'll apply to me as well this week. i'm not stepping anywhere near a singapore pools outlet. unless i happen to win the sweep this wed. (though its quite impossible), but if i do, i'm gonna drop everything for that day and head down to selegie pomo and collect the cheque.

okay back to lecture now. and i miss fluffy so much. =(

OMG DR VAISH I LOVE YOU. god answered my prayers cos i'm like running out of time for my research paper and she has so kindly extended it to next week. With God's grace I will not boggle it up now. Seems like this week is going better than expected. woohooo!

back to reality

Happy Birthday May!

okay zouk was smashing fun ystd. the funniest thing is, cos i arranged with adrian on what i was gonna wear, i didnt expect joshie to turn up in the exact same shirt. can you imagine the awkward moment of silence when we saw each other?

Couple 1

Couple 2

Couple 3

Bday girl soliciting kisses from the girls

Couple 4

Drunk man

just because her birthday only

jon and adrian

omg LOL just kill us pls, by the way, its a pink frame shirt from Frederic Sai, Lv 3 Cineleisure. Currently there's a 30% off promo for this classic piece, ori: $125 current: $80-ish (too lazy to take the calculator out now)

kill me

may, rachel, belinda, felicia

kenny, neil, adrian, fel (looking stoic)

does it look like the meme?

i finally tried the 'kiss of death', some cocktail that adrian and jon were always raving about and i have to say its not bad. i woke up really blur, but you have to consider the influence of the other types of alcohol. OH BTW does anyone have the problem of looking bloated when you drink? I look so bloated the pictures not doing me justice, they are not an accurate representation of me.

with that party out of the way, i wont be partying much (if any) already. i need to catch up on school work so badly. and i havnt even started on my research paper.

at least i woke up early and made it to woodlands library where i did my project work with forst and nad. bumped into a couple of schmates there as well. okay back to doing my work!
