29thJanuary2009 - Happybirthday Wei Long

Met up with the PokeGang at 1.pm for lunch. We had a theme that day. POWER RANGERS!

Wei Long - pink ranger
Hansen - blue ranger
See Yuan - black ranger
Aven - white ranger
Darrin - yellow ranger
Wee Yong - green ranger
Zhen Ning - x'tra ranger
Kai Siang - red ranger

Anyway, we had Sushi Ten for lunch. The ramen is a scam. Seriously. Hansen burst into laughter after sampling my ramen. Poor Hansen had to carry his obnoxiously heavy PS2 around.

Aven, Wei Long, Zhen Ning and I went straight to Wei Long's house first to 'set up' the place (actually to slack) while See Yuan and Hansen waited for the rest to arrive. "We'll be a lil late" is a very common phrase smsed to us that day.

The evil slurpee machine died on us.

When everybody finally arrived, we had games. The first game was pictionary and i can't believe my drawing lost to Zhen Ning's. Anyway, that's not the point. Some of us were told to draw things like Charmander or Mr Kamal.

The second game was the number game. Initially it was quite easy. Until Wei Long started to add more numbers at the same time.

The third game was to place the orange between our heads and transfer it to the table on the other side; and on the first round Brandon was sabo'ed to do it with Gwee Jie while Sin Yee and I were sabo'ed. But we won though haha. The dumb part was when Grace Hong and Hui Ling tried it with their butt and got the orange squashed. lol.

The fourth game was the sweets transporting game. We had to use spoons, forks or knives to transfer sweets from one end to the other. The girls played well. The guys just messed around lol. We started to foul play like mad. Haha.

The last game was the "Know Wei Long" game. Wei Long started to ask questions about himself. LOl. Questions such as "Who do i think is the greatest a%$hole (hansen)?" and "Who do i like to suan most(aven)?" Very retarded. lol.

While waiting for the pizza, we had free-&-easy.

Then, Darrin, Aven, Wei Long, Hansen and i started to play a RPG card game called Munchking. Quite fun. Haha. Curse! Level up! Spam monsters! haha. Cleric! :D

So sad we had to abort the great and well planned "Wedding Game". :( lol.
Wei Long <3 Gwee Jie
Cake was nice haha.
Company was nice too. :)
I think i'll really miss everyone in 4D1. Some more some less. But. Meow.
Wei Long you better keep the birthday card i made for you. One and only of its kind. =P.

And it's only at this point of time that we bonded so much. Only when we were finally going to part.

"Kai Siang, you go JC le we will hardly meet liao."

It is when Wei Long said that, did i realise that, we were all really going to part; for good.
A sinking feeling rose up from my feet. It crunches at my heart. Sighs.

On the bus 98 home, while i was alone on the bus, i started to burst out in tears. Four years just flew past just like that. I took for granted what i once had. Sighs. And now, there's only 2 days left. Technically for me, it's only one day, which is sunday.

But, i didn't regret anything. All the best in wherever you guys are headed towards to. :) I believe that you'll succeed in anything you do.

And thus arrives the chapter of the end of the beginning

And it was finally taken,
for the once it was forsaken.

Oh man...

I messed up my hairstyle. Gosh. Nevermind.

The timing.

The right thing in the wrong time is the wrong thing.

How could i forget?

Darn.

4D1'08 2009 chalet

It was awesome. Really. I didn't regret going for it despite reaching at about 9.pm.

Went for Ken's 21st birthday party from 5.pm to 7.30pm. Of course i didn't regret going. It was very fun too. :) His mum cooked lots of sumptuous delights and delicacies. Hurray! Food! Eugene was emo'ing in front of Ken's corner before he finally lost it. Armed with a helmet and the full serviceman uniform, Eugene just lost it. I hope you like the T-shirt! Happy Birthday Ken! (Pics soon!)

4D1 chalet was awesome. Atleast for the second part of the day (wasn't able to tell about the first half). The first thing i did when i reached the chalet was bathe before spamming arcade with the rest. Almost completed Silent Hill with Sin Yee but we ran out of credits. Should've topped up more. Ha. And See Yuan and Nicholas seemed to belong to the same organisation which requires people to wear light pink shirts with black long pants. The game which is about throwing balls at the screen was very fun too! We got 20 tickets from it! Yay! haha, okay. Hansen, Julian and I spammed about 20 dollars on the sweets machine with the objective of getting the biscuit out of the machine in mind. But due to many, and seriously many such as dropping at the right spot yet shifted to the top of the pile and when it finally drops to the second level it somersaults and travelled to the top of the pile again, unprecedented circumstances, we failed horribly in that.

Look at the colossus amount of sweets that we captured. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

Back at the chalet, we watched SAW V. Halfway throughout the show, Ying Ting and Annabel appeared to be missing. All the chaleters were mobilised from the chalet and went to look for them. (they didn't bring their handphones and were late because Yahuan was tricked into going to the wrong place because perhaps Yu Zheng and Pearl wanted to xcoughxspendmoretimetogetherxcoughx.)

We had many night walks. lol.

Then from about 3am onwards, we just spammed indoor games. Wei Long is really the master of games. He knows a lot of games. At about 6am, all of us went for breakfirst at macdonalds.(which was unfortunately closed from 12am to 6am on this specific tuesday.)

By second day, dou liao. Everything that we do we can't do with full concentration. Arcade and pooled while some of us left first. Had breakfirst at Subway. Wei Long, Hansen and I sat away from the rest because Wei Long was lazy to move.

"It's like catching pokemon, you have to weaken it first then maybe do stun spore...etc," said Hansen. LOL. And pokemon became the main theme for our conversations for the rest of the journey home.

Current pokemon available -

Caterpie, Metapod, Caterpod (failure to devolve back and hence a mutation) Psyduck, Articuno[with it's all powerful ice beam] (Mewtwo), Zapdos (Mew), Jynx (LOL), Beedrill (LOL again), Evee, Ditto (who transformed into Nidoqueen and was left like that due to many trainers lack of the Siliscope), Hitmonlee.

Nevermind, moving on to the Johto region soon. Real soon. It's like goodbye to Kanto region soon. Real soon.

(Pics soon, again!)

P.S: Brock, do damage the pokemon next time before attempting to throw a pokeball. Stun spore won't be quite enough for a lengendary pokemon.

SunnY

Oi,
Whaaat~
Bu Yaooooo,
DoTsSs...
Go away~!

Stop trying.

You don't have to kiss every frog to know which one is a prince.

Time is slipping by...

I've yet to submit my JAE application via the internet; and really it's very tedious and obfuscating with questions like "which school should i go to?" at the back of my mind.

Anyway, this is a short summary of what i've done in the past few days:

13th January - Tuesday (2 days ago)

I had my luncheon with Sin Yee at pasta mania. Thanks for the treat! Slacked at Zhen Ning's house for a little while before meeting up with Brandon, Cheong Khi, Hansen, Nicholas wee and Yan Jing at Commonwealth's Mrt Station. Headed for school with them and had a really good talk with the teachers there.

Played basketball at the sheltered in-doors court there. Also caught up with some of my NPCC juniors before having a try at the school's piano; which was quite an interesting experience.

Before night falls, Brandon, Hansen, Nicholas, Zhen Ning and I went to have our dinner at Mr. Prata. The 'emo meal' and 'burger EX' was really retarded. World domination through an 'emo' fastfood restaurant.

Sweets from Sin Yee for my cough and sore throat. Sanks!

14th January - Wednesday (Yesterday)

Woke up at 1:13pm (WOOTS). Simply put, the plans i had for my day was pretty well in the bin. Didn't turn up for the NJC visiting with Brandon and the rest. Sorry guys!
Had my lunch, gymed, swam and played the piano.

After much consideration, going to the new Kallang shopping center was lesser of an evil than eating at the foodcourt in Vivocity; afterall, it's a new shopping center.

The new Kallang park mall (or whatever it's name may be) is a rather immaculated shopping center (i must say); only that it's such a pity that it's situated in a rather desserted area. Sin Yee and I were like sympathising with all the shops because of the lack of customers there.


15th - January (Today)

Laziness got the better of me. I couldn't bother myself to do anything about appealing into RJC. I didn't know why. I was just so, very lazy. Thoughts of doubts kept creeping into my mind. "Aiya, also won't get in one, why bother?". Sighs. Anyway, if that's truly my calling, opportunities above opportunies will inundate in within the next few days or weeks.

Darrin, Kian seng, See Yuan, Wei Long, Zhen Ning and I went for swimming today. All of us, except for See Yuan who was late, were scammed by the evil swimming complex. It was closed today. RAH. So, we decided to make do with the swimming pool at my house. It was, unexpectedly, very fun though. I jumped into the pool and realised that nobody had goggles on except for Kian Seng and I. The 2 KS. HAHA. So, i started to 'attack' the other guys. And soon, those horrible words which i feared pierce through my ears. "ALL ATTACK KAI SIANG!!! GRAB HIS GOGGLES!!!". I ran. However, the water resistance was too high. Struggling, i shove them off one by one. Soon enough, i was entangled by their vile arms and Zhen Ning managed to steal my goggles; which i stole back almost immediately xD.

Kian Seng and i formed an unlikely alliance. Afterall, we were the only ones bestowed with the ultimate power to resist the evils and devastations of the impact that comes from the highly chlorinated hydro-oxgenated crown of mass - the splashing of swimming pool water.

Rain drops came falling and we had to retreat back to my safe haven called home.

Spammed PS3 and went to have dinner with Kian Seng, See Yuan and Wei Long at a nearby hawker center/ coffeeshop.

Yay. My days have been filled with laughter and joy. :).

Giving thanks to the Almighty One.

Why?

Because it could've been worse. So thank God and be content. That is the path He wants you to take.

No cake?

Caught Bedtime Stories with Sin Yee on wednesday before joining Hansen and the rest at his house for the impromptu makeshift 4D1 chalet; which lasts from wednesday to friday. Didn't really do much for the first day and wasn't able to stayover because i had to help my dad in the morning; i had to relief one of the staffs who wasn't able to report to work.

Handrolls.

With Sin Yee at some Jap place.

OLIO! another branch of the coolest eatery called OLIO!OLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOOO

KAILIFE! what a cool shop xlolx

Brandon & Shao Kai!

Initially, i was very reluctant to help out at my dad's shop. Firstly, it was my birthday. Secondly, it was in the morning. But, well, God says that i have to honour my father and my mother; so, I still went to help out in the end. Turns out, it's actually a blessing in disguise! It seems that following God's word would really bring liberation and blessings! After work, just before i left, one of the employees there and my aunt, who was requested to relief my dad from 1pm to5pm so that he could celebrate with me, gave me 20 dollars and 50 dollars respectively. WOots. Okay.

Commonwealth.

At about 1.30pm, my parents fetched me to celebrate at IMM's Hoshi. I ate like some pig. (lol, catpigger) Meoink. Ate really a lot. Just the three of us, my dad, mum and myself, fetched a bill of a hundred and twenty dollars! Meoink. Thanks to Dad and Mum. :). They even gave me another hundred dollars to spend! Meoink.

Ebi Tempura!

Sashimi Assortion!

Dad & Mum.

California Hand Rolls!

Joined Hansen and the rest again at about 7.30p.m. This time, there were more people; only that half of us were not staying over. Sighs. We went to clementi for dinner at some Kopitiam. Hansen treated me dinner! Sanks mate! Oh, before we left for dinner, the 4D1ners gave me a rather *violent* surprise, or so according to Hansen, which *obviously knocked me off my shoes due to the perfect coordinations*. Sanks guys! I got this very cool red bag from Nicholas, Yan Jing and Zhen Ning. There's even a card inside! :). Friends for 4 years now. Sanks guys! My first bag that's not from my parents. And most of all, it's red! I also received a very awesome black shirt from Sin Yee! At first, i thought it was just another shirt. Then, only when i'm at home, did i realise that it is really a very very cool and nice shirt! I think she spent quite awhile thinking of what to buy. She still pretend no time buy present. lol. SANKS GUYS! :D

THE BAG! with the WRAP!

THE RED BAG! with NO WRAP!

Shirt from Sin Yee!

"What can wash away your sins?"

"Nothing but the Blood of Jesus."

Dan Dan Drinking! (DDD)

Due to some technical difficulties with the audio system of the television, we couldn't watch any movies. Then, some (or most) of the guys started to drink. Then, those who didn't want to drink sought refuge in another room which is air-conditioned! and full of beds. HA. I drank ribena from a bottle which looks very similar to those of beer bottles only that it's significantly smaller. Hansen joined the guys but drank water instead. lol. You should've seen how red wei long's and zhen ning's faces were. Basically all who drank were very red. AND OH, CHEONG KHI IS NOW A GUY!!!

I'm still proud to say i've yet to touch any alcohol meow.Oink.Meoink. Yea hehehe.

We played Indian poker. And the forfeit is to say a truth. Amongst Brandon, Cheong Khi, Sin Yee, Darrin, Tricia, Quan Mei and I, only Darrin didn't get his chance at forfeiting. Sian. Then, we started to listen to music and waste our lives away. lol.

Can't believe that i'm already seventeen. Heh. Naturally, i ought to be more mature and all etc. But, my actions in the past few days have been of the contrary.

I slept awhile at about 4.30a.m.

Ordered Mac at about 4.45 a.m.

Aven said that we look like a bunch of drug addicts.

Aven, the drug lord.

DRUG ADDICTS!

Overall it was quite fun.

G.O.D

All i know is to pray and trust in You now.
Whether it is just a test or it is Your will,
is for You to choose.
Once again i lift up everything to You,
as i rejoice over the day i'm created,
i remember the grace You so selflessly poured unto me.
As i cherish every magical moment of the present You presented to me,
the future i will keep in mind always.
Always.

Love,
Kai Siang.

Clique Chalet 2009

I'm back people! (was the first thing i said when i reached the chalet.) =]

Anyway, chalet this time round was a lot more relaxing and it was really quite fun. Heh. Money shortage every now and then for me though. But i thank God for wonderful friends who are willing to lend me money. =)

This time round, our chalet as usual being a 3D2N one at Costa Sands Pasir Ris, we have Kian Seng, Wei Yang, Zhen Ning, Jie Run, Nicholas, Yong Liang, Bryan and I around; though Jie Run left on the second day.

On the first day, we watched the "Deuce Gigolo". Something i learnt from the movie is to cherish what you have. Cherish the present. But at the same time, keeping the future in mind. BBQ was great and i must recommend a very good BBQ-er; Mr Seow Kian Seng. The beef and chicken fillet were really great! I should ask of my maid to add honey to the chicken fillet next time! :D.
And i saw Eileen!=) Cause i noticed a group of HC students there; someone was wearing a I<3HC shirt.

I played with the marsh mellow that i had. I didn't know that it could be so stretchy and nice to pull and to play with after it has been cooked. lol.

Arcade was quite fun. Amen. Nicholas and i trashed a few people there in Initial D. There was this guy who looked like Ahmad(or so according to Yong Liang) who kept wanting to challenge me. Despite having boost one, he still lost to me. Poor guy, used a stock car against my fully modified AE86. I feel for you. ha!. I spent like only 2 dollars on initial D (which is 1 dollar because of the 100% top up nebo voucher) and played 6 rounds! Wee. BUT, I WASTED 28 DOLLARS ON THE STUPID MACHINE. TWENTY EIGHT YOU KNOW?! T-W-E-N-T-Y E-I-G-H-T-T-T-T!!! And i got nothing in return. Though Bryan spent a lil more than me, atleast he had a Pooh soft toy! Seriously, those machines are money suckers and are highly addictive; even Kian Seng also got hooked onto it and spend nine dollars!

Movie was seven pounds. Epitome of tedium for most part of it until the unprecedented twist came slamming in at the end. 7 pounds. Literally. Don't wanna spoil the movie for you. Anyway, i'll give it a 7.7/10! :D. A1 standard okay.

During the movie, i sat between Bryan and Kian Seng. And so i kept stealing Bryan's popcorn.

Bryan:" You understand the movie anot?"
Kai Siang(gives a very stern and serious look as if in disgust): "No."
(and we both started to laugh like mad.)
Kai Siang:"I'm just waiting for the movie to end."
Bryan:"HAHAHA SAME!"

We went back to the chalet and we slept while some of us went drinking. And im still proud to say i don't drink! :D. It's cool okay haha.

On the second day, we had mac for breakfast! I had hotcakes! :). After breakfast we went back to the chalet to watch Wall-e. Quite a cool show ya know. After Wall-e we went for a light lunch because we wanted to eat something more expensive and heavier for dinner. i bought Ban Mian! :D and Barley!. But the auntie cheated me and gave me Lemon Barley! Meow~. More arcade after lunch. This time, i spent less than the first day. Had to control myself. On the first day, i already spent like 21 dollars on the machine. Albeit having the knowledge that the machine is nothing but a scam, i thought to myself and somehow managed to deceive myself into wasting another 7 dollars in a vain attempt of winning something. Oink!!! Okay, went back to the chalet and played "Bluff"(a very cool dice game that Kian Seng taught us all). Then, after Nich and Zhen ning returned from White Sands, we set off for Tampinese Mall. DAng dang dang DANG.

Okay, we had pasta mania in the end. All because there wasn't any other Jap restaurants but Ajisen which seriously is anothe average food centre which sells overpriced yet mediocre food. So, we aimed for Pastamania and i bought Creamy Chicken pasta; i didn't know that we could upsize the serving of the pasta itself! I thought upsizing is only for the drink and the garlic bread. And it's just 2.20 to upsize! Meow!. Okay, i had ICE LEMON TEA TOO.:D. Zhen Ning and i just kept spamming cheese! As in the powdery one.

We went back to the chalet after dinner and rented 2 movies; "Covenant" and "Hancock".
Watched little Nyonya(which was against my will T.T) and some funny channel U show followed by some English Lesson show at 11pm Okto. I think my hp is really siao. Always no bat. Just one SMS and the battery level can fall from 74% to 10%. Wait 5 minutes and it zooms back to 57%. And i think my phone value gonna 'dou' very soon.

"Hancock" is a very cool movie okay.

Went to sleep after that but woke up at the most crucial and exhilerating part of Covenant. The final battle. Haha. "I... will you my... power." *eyes turn black and BOOM* haha.

Went to sleep. Woke up at 9am++ again. Took a few more groups shots and left the chalet. Pics soon k!.

That's all folks! :D enjoyed myself thoroughly!. 1 chalet down 2 more to go! Seize the opportunities and function in the present!

Happy Birthday!.. in advance =)

Sermon today was about moving on. This is like the 4th or 5th time i heard a sermon about moving on. Forget past failures and mistakes, learn from them and improve! Yeah!(or you can learn from others' mistakes too)

Today, we finally had our long awaited covenant signing!

So cool can. Karyn gave a short lil speech.

Then, all of us declared allegiance to the covenant and signed it!
The affixation of the covenant was carried out at Swensons! I had 'golden rush' (it's a food there; pretty sweet).

Okay, i tell you all something very retarded.

After about an hour, the waitress brought an ice cream with a candle on it. Then i was thinking "lol who so pro want to eat some more?" Then, everybody started to sing happy birthday. Then, i started singing too; looking around to see who's the birthday boy or girl. I felt something was wrong. Why was everyone looking at me. Only after singing the third line of the Birthday song did i realise that it was for me. So sweet can. Cell group; love ya guys! :D Sanks for the ice cream birthday with a candle thing. I think i shouldn't tell anybody when's my birthday. Don't waste your money on me :). It's already a blessing to have a loving family, a caring cell group and so many wonderful friends; and of course, an almighty and eternally powerful God.

I'm happy. =).

But, i really can't believe that i'm turning 17 soon.

I've yet to do many things that any 16-years-old would probably have done.

Drinking, kissing, BGR, tonning outdoors and many alike. But, then again, i am not of this world anymore. So, i shall follow my God instead. Anyway, this is what the world, or the system, tells teenagers nowadays. Sensual pleasure etc took priority over emotional development. God, save the world please.

Hey, is that a mail for me?

Hey! I've got mail! =D. Okay, what's inside?Hmm...
It's the first time i received a mail from a non-organisation.

Hmm, this looks like, a very beautifully crafted hand-made card built with lots of love and sweetness.

Hey! It's my very first hand-made New Year Card!
Thank you Sin Yee! =D


Carrot Cake! I had carrot cake today! And barley too!

More pics on the ice cream i had today soon. Pics are with Gracia. =D

Okay, that's all for today! :D

MayHui's BBQ

Yesterday, was cool. Pretty cool.

I checked my mail and viola! I received a very nicely and pulchritudinously hand-made New Year Card. It even had a self-composed poem attached to it! And that's my only new year card for this year. But, there's no strength in numbers. Quality over quantity. Sweet enough. :)

Went for MayHui's BBQ party. Hansen and gang pang sehed me.

And Nich has high fever. Jie Run is not feeling well too.

I shall pray for them. :)

" Dear God, i pray for Nicholas and Jie Run. Lord, i pray that You heal them both. I pray for complete healing to come upon them. Lord, i pray for Your power to come upon them and take away all the illness and pain. Lord, I also want to pray for You to bless them and the people around me to be happy. Lord, i pray for a blissful year for all my oikos. Lord, i pray that if anyone is under the hold of emotional pain and agony, Lord i pray that You take them away too. Lord, i pray for You to reach Your hands,Your mighty hands, to all my unsaved friends and i pray for them to experience life in a much different way; to the fullest. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen!"

Seen many familiar faces again. Oh, the nostalgy.

Ha, i can proudly declare that ZI'm Zthe Zonly Zone who didn't touch alcohol yesterday! :D. Okay, maybe there may be others who didn't too but I highly doubt so! HA.

Marsh Mellow~

Somehow, Bryan's face wasn't as red on the pic. You should've seen him. So drunk. Ha. Then, i forgot who it was but either Ho Wei Yang, Eugene, Yu Zheng or Kok Ti, when Bryan was playing Mah Jong, shouted "Bryan! You're drunk and you're gambling!". ha. His face was crimson red. Literally. I just don't know why the on the picture his complextion isn't that reddish.

Sin Yee! I think she was drunk too. She couldn't count or discern properly! xD

After the BBQ, i went to find my family for supper! The tou fu was super good! haha.

Okay, that's all folks!

I pray that all of us do well for our major examinations. :)

HAVE A BLESSED 2009! :D

2.0.0.9

Happy New Year everyone! Pull your ear!

I thank God for a wonderful 2008 and a will-be-wonderful 2009.

I wanted to end 2008 with a bang; and i did. yea hehehe.

Once i was going to 2008, but now i've left; for 2009.

Went to buy CNY clothes with Nich and Sin Yee today.:)

Sin Yee bought a pair of brown Kappa shoes and i bought a red long sleeved shirt with i've been searching for like forever. Nich didn't buy anything though.

We went to disturb Ruby at central point.

I'm very tired now. haha.

God's word is really a lamp unto my feet. :)
