[[ this is what i want to say. ]]

hi..

i know that the last few posts have been rather emo... but i just cant help it...
and thnks to those who actually left positive comments on the shout-box!
i really appreciate it...

well, i guess the reason for all this emo-ness (if there's such a word) is due to a mix of feelings..
ive been feeling down cus of certain things, happy cus of certain things, angry cus of certain things, so i really cannot comprehend it all at the same time..

but okay, this post will be on a much lighter note..
so, i went back to sch today, as in Ngee Ann.. it felt great...
cus it sure brought back good memories..
its been such a long time since ive been back.. and i was really glad i did..

the reason for going back?
we wanted to try out the graduation gowns first bfore ordering them online, but guess what?
i JUST only visited the website and the size that we wanted no more!
damn it.. those bloody bastards so fast book their gowns already!
and they only opened the bookings yst!!

but nvm so what ever.. hmm
okay, after trying out the gowns, went to lib, bought bubble tea.. yes of cus i had to buy peppermint smoothie with extra extra jelly! woots!
haha
my ultimate fav drink in np! (thnks to minh who intro-ed it to me!)
then we headed to midac, where we had a chat with the lecturer, "polar bear", and other tsos.. was nice talking to them..

then we went to ece office ask for testimonial, and i went to project room to visit eric and teo!
haha.. was nice seeing them.. after seeing them for almost everyday for one whole year, it was nice being back to visit them..
sat down talked to eric too..

so after that whole thing, we headed to canteen 1 to have our lunch.. zahra was to meet us there..
otw, i stopped to buy donuts...
then at the canteen, bought the bandung crispy chicken rice with extra chicken! woots! haha.. my fav!!! sooo long since ive had it! even when sch started last sem i only had it twice till today..
then went to buy the tako yaki balls! bought 4! haha
so ate and ate.. until damn damn full la..

but it was okay! cus it was only for one day! and since i may or may not be coming back anytime soon, it was worth it to eat my fav foods today! haha

after everything, zahra drove us to cw mrt station.. and me and jamal went to the chendol shop for dessert, bfore i left for chinatown to collect stock for some uber irritating customer can?!
keep smsing me and calling me asking for the stupid box today.. damn it sia..

anw today supposedly had plans but movie with the clique was cancelled.. and syaz wasnt too happy about it.. poor her..
i was looking forward to catching a movie cus it has been sometime since ive watched one.. but i guess its not happening anytime soon.. hahaha

i wanna do a sentosa day one wkend day! haha.. yay.. mayb ask my A2 guys out, very long nv see them also.. haha

kla, see, today's post is much much happier rite?
i pretty much put alot of thought into writing something happy for my readers, and readers i say as in the no more than 7 ppl who actually reads my blog... -_-!!

[[ this is what i want to say. ]]

i think ive got a problem..
i think im sort of addicted to the net.. as in the internet?
cus, even though im dead freaking tired after a long day of work, i still on my laptop, and connect to the world wide web..

i guess its just routine for me, since ive been doing it for the past 3 years..
if im not chatting on msn, which i dont do as much now, id be yahoo-ing, or wiki-ing or just reading paparazzi news about crazy celebs...
and yes, i still prefer yahoo to google.. i know google's h-u-g-e, but i dont know, yahoo's just for me.. haha.. yahoo.com is easier to type also..

my laptop is my friend, my confidante, my baby and my wifey..
yes, all that in one.. and i love every second i spend with her..

okay, on to the second thing i wanna get off my chest..
everyone knows that i love taking pictures - of friends and me, and stuff..
but, in a way, i h-a-t-e to look at those old pictures..
to reminisce at all the still memories of my yesteryears is painful..
its makes me sad to look at the smiling faces and crazy antics of us in every frame, and to know that its all nothing more than a memory...

if i could i would love to re-live that really awesome period of my life.. the time when my friends were always by my side and that we would share the laughter and joys and the jokes and the scoldings and all sorts..

the other day at the bbq, max (my supervisor), who is only 21, said that he no longer stay over during chalets anymore cus he's past that period of his life when staying over at chalets is fun..
and another guy, 23 years old, just now told me the same thing..
that they've passed that phase in their lives..

and im worried, cus i didnt get to have chalets or i didnt get the chance to have stayovers only till i was like in poly, where i had my first chalet with my poly mates..
and the thing is i do enjoy chalet stayovers! its a chance to bond with your friends who's there.. you know?!

and if them, being only 21/23, said that they've passed that phase.. i wonder what i would feel like when im 21 or older..
you know what im trying to say?

im already going into my 20s soon... but i still feel deprived of some things that teens supposed to do...
one main thing is that, unfortunately, ive never really had the courage to tell anyone that i like them...
mayb that's just me..
ive also never really played games, like almost every teen do...
ive never really been spoilt much by the rents, mayb tts the reason i stay rooted..
ive never had any awesome gadgets and gizmos to play around with..
omg, im really deprived..

and tts kinda sad.. cus i dont think itd be the same when im 23 or 25.. i wouldnt be able to be so carefree about these things anymore...

im going into ns soon, july to be precised.. but im still not content with my teenage years.. and as my colleague at work said, "you come out ns, already like man".. man as in you think differently, more matured and stuff..

boy, that's gonna suck for sure..

[[ this is what i want to say. ]]

okay, gx tagged me recently on her blog... in a post called "10 things about me" or more... so anw, im free now and im not yet slpy, so i thought might as well do it too.. lols

so i actually have got NOO idea what to write, mayb ill just follow the way gx wrote it.. haha
k so here we go...

1) I don't eat crabs, or id have angelina jolie's lips
To be exact, i only dont eat those live crabs, crab sticks are okay.. those like cooked whole, with shell and all, that's the problem..
i will get some allergic reaction, my lips will swell and my body will itch.. that last time i ate crabs i think was in primary 5 or 6? and ive not touched one since..

1.1) I dont eat murtabak and laksa
yes, besides not eating crabs, i dont eat murtabak and laksa.. i cant rmb the last time i ate laksa.. but for sure it was not any day in the past 8 years at least..

2) I'm quite good at memorising lyrics
I can listen to a song a few times, and somehow get the lyrics.. the more i listen the more "accurate" the words are.. haha.. and ive got a whole lyrics collection in my head.. =)

3) Throughout primary and secondary, i have the rep with teachers of being the noisy kid in class
yes, suprising or not, i was really talkative, still am.. but not as la.. hahaha.. everytime the report bk came back to me, teacher will write, "taufiq should pay attention more in class".. lols lar.. thnks alot ar..

4) I used to ONLY read the "what's on tv" column in the newspaper
yes, i had no life. my only form of joy was tv.. and i used to only read that page.. but now, ive learnt that world news and world happenings are important.. so i read everything... except for the malay newspaper.

4.1) I like to watch the news on tv
a'huh.. when i have nothing to do at home, ill just switch to channelnewsasia on tv and just watch the news.. a gd way to keep updated..

5) I listened to alot of malay songs when i was younger
yes, im ashamed... and embarrassed... but i have to admit, that i did listen to malay songs when i was younger (pri sch days)..
and not only did i listen, i lisstteenneedd man.. i knew alot of malay songs and all that..but all that changed when the wonderful world of english pop music came into my life.. =)

6) It is impossible to see me not listening to music or singing some music when im alone
the title speaks for itself.

7) Maths was my weakest sub in pri, sec, and is still my weakest even throughout poly
well what can i say.... typical.. im not good at maths, so hit me. -_-
my tutor didnt do a very good job i must say.. even jamal is better at teaching me maths..

8) I can be quite mean and sadistic to my friends
ive done every imaginable thing to my close friends in pri and sec sch.. in pri sch i played wrestling in class, and would jump from the bench at the back of the class onto my friend lying below ( and no they didnt die ).. of cus we faked it la..
then i fought with my friend over something that i cant rmb, pushed table and chair all that..
apart from that, in sec sch, ive thrown chairs and tables at my friends, esp jamal.. ive kicked them, hit them, whack the balls out of them (literally), towel slapped them, and i even burned jamal on the hand and thigh with a red hot metal tripod stand..

9) I am quite paranoid
Sometimes when im outside, and esp alone, i will feel very uncomfortable and paranoid cus i will think that everyone is looking at me.. and that everyone is talking about me.. then i would shut the world out by blasting the mp3 player..

10) I love to blog-hop my friends' blogs
as gx puts it, since everyone is real busy with their lives, work and sch, reading their blogs is a gd way to keep updated with the happenings of your friends..
its a little unfortunate that my clique friends dont blog often, even if they do i cant rmb their address, e.g nasriah..
but im still glad that the some others do.. and i hope that they continue to blog.. cus no matter when, i will eventually click on that link that shows your name, and i will read your updates.. and that will make me feel like we've never even parted.. =)

so ya, that's about 10 random things to know about me.

[[ this is what i want to say. ]]

i had relief teaching again on tues at KRSS.. i must say that i am getting a hang of this relief teaching thing...... so i thought.

cus on tues went i went, was one of the most horrible experiences ive ever had being in any class in my life..

there was this girl in the class i was relieving for, and i dont know what her problem was, and whether she was trying to be funny or wad.. but i really think she's not....

okay so here's the story, there was a small lizard in the class.. one girl saw it and like screaming already..

then the lizard running.. this crazy girl came up and picked it up with her bare hands - yes, PICKED it up..

if that wasnt bad enuff, she started toying with the poor thing.. then she did the most despicable thing, she pulled its tail off la.. poor thing sia...
sadistic woman..

okay so then she showed it around the class and everyone started screaming.. i was like talking a little louder, asking everyone to go seat and quiet.. but no one seem to bother listening..

then the crazy one went to the back of the class, and soon there was a gathering behind.. -_-!

so then u know, she used her fingernails to pry open the poor lizards' mouth!!

yeaaahh! OPEN its mouth.. then the lizard was i think in a state of shock.. cus it was moving crazily..

then the most sadistic thing ive ever seen.. the girl took a lighter...
hang the lizard by its "tail", and slowly burned it - alive.. i was already like wth mood sia..

as if i wasnt pissed enough that the class and her wasnt listening to me..

she came to me with the thing, tried to be really funny, and threw the dead lizard onto my shirt, somehow expecting me to scream.. and since i didnt, she picked it up again and threw it into my hair..

omg i felt like screaming the daylights out of her man..

but i kept my cool.. i picked up the thing and threw it out the window..

i was sooo damn pissed off i didnt even bother about touching the lizard!!

in the end she like somewhat apologise, with no sincerity whatsoever, and told me not to complain to other teachers or she will "kena"..

i only understood what she was saying nearing the end of class when the V-C handed me a log book of her behaviour to comment on.. i wanted to scribble alot of things but ended up saying "GOOD." ..

wtf right.. i told my friend, another relief., about it and she said how come i didnt scream..

i told her, if i scream, im afraid she'd piss in her pants or she'd be fucking mad at me for embarrassing her...

and i thought they were more civilized since they are older.. sec 5 lei, but behave like primary 1..

i still remember that i can shout really loud back in secondary sch.. and i have not lost that vocal "ability" yet.. just that i do not want to..

but if i have to go back to that class again, well they say, once bitten twice shy, i wouldnt be soo nice..

u know how nice i was, i even closed 2 eyes and let like half the class take out their psp and play... haiyah, sometimes, my kindness goes unappreciated..

okay, apart from that horrible horrible experience with that crazy girl...

i met up with MY awesome girls and dude as well on tuesday night..
we met up at Bugis, and had dinner at some halal chi restaurant.. food wasnt Michelin star standard, but decent..

after a hearty meal of errr Lor Mee or something, we headed to the apple struddle cafe and had strawberry and mango struddle..

both, were really good.. yuumm-O.

as if that wasnt filling enough, we just had to go starbucks to chill.. i had the new drink, something De Leche... its like caramel frap - but MORE awesomely sweet! haha.. its really really good la.. like a thicker and more tastier version of caramel frap..

and fyi yana, i WASNT flirting with the female staff! i was just being friendly and talking to them!

anw, that day was really fun la.. cus i finally got to see yana, syaz and muthu again.. everyone's been soo busy lately, everyone as in me, until we have no time to even go out for a simple meal ...

there was alot of big hugs to go around on tuesday..

when i reached and saw them, i gave yana a big hug, and a hug-lifter for syaz.. and we were holdin arms and hands as we walked...

ooh i miss my friends..

and we were extra touchy feely and quite crude (or dirty minded) with our jokes.. hahaha..

but we know that we dont mean it.. RIGHT guys..

well i hope you know.. haha

and oh syaz, i dont hit you on purpose, its always an accident.. lols..

okay, that's it then i guess, its almost 2 am now.. i hope KRSS calls me up later this morning.. aiya..

i wanna go relief cus i wanna earn moneyy!! haha

im setting my sights up for a psp, an mp3 and a game console in 1 device, more worth it if you think about it..

anw, over the past 4 years, the joy of using my laptop has been long-lived... there was nothing that brought me more happiness and joy than switching it on and..... ya...

err now, there's nothing to look forward to apart from reading the daily yahoo news.. lol!

its been like a companion to me and it has been really loyal to me since day one.. so i thank IBM for making such a wonderful machine for me..

super pathetic, but sadly..

[[ this is what i want to say. ]]

hey hey hey, what do you know... i finally felt what it felt like to be a relief teacher...

today morning, really early morning, an admin staff from kent ridge sec called me up.. i didnt know who it was cus i really didnt thought they'd call since its been 2 wks like that..
so i was quite mad at the constant ringing so early in the morning, 710am to be exact..

k, after i found out i was supposed to relief teach, i was frantic sia.. cus i didnt wanna be late, didnt wanna make a bad impression, and i was supposed to look for my O level cert and some other stuff somemore.. wahh..

i havent seen my cert in dono how many months.. and i couldnt find it, so had to make do with a paper copy.. the ones that they mailed to us one..
and i brought along a copy of my first sem poly result slip..

was really nervous sehhh.. hailed a cab cus it was already 745am when i got into the cab.. when i almost reaching i called zahra, asked her what to do and how to do it... wow.. i tell u, i was really really nervous man... but have to like pick up the courage to just walk into the place..
i was perspiring like crazy.. and i had NO tissue.. wah...

the classes i got today was okay.. the normal class, and the normal students with expected behaviours..
anw, from today i observed, and even in my days, in every class would have different "cliques" ..
the pretty girls of the class, the not so, the geeks, the sports guys, the reject, and the typical class "ah-lian" and "ah-beng"..

i mean, it was already like that since i was in secondary sch..
but going back to relief teach there was really an awesome flashback for me..
i was suddenly reminded of the FUN of secondary sch..
the crazy and care-free nature of the ppl..

but one thing's change.. the kids are RICHER nowadays..
i told them i will close one eye..
and they took out like those ex hps, pdas la.. all those things.. to sch.. yeah..
so pampered sia hh
that is the only thing that's changed..

on a lighter note, i wanna congratulate yana on working! yay! have fun at work girl.. =D

[[ this is what i want to say. ]]

hey all!
so, after about a 5 days hiatus, im finally writing in again.. well, i wouldnt sound as upset and pitiful as in the last post..

so okay, let's recap..
for the past few days, i worked here and there, but so far its been ard 6 days of sales drought; i havent got more than 2 sale in this few days of working.. that's bad news..

ok but in any case, i did manage to squeeze some time to meet sugnesh, jamal and eugene on one of the days... went for dinner at an Indian restaurant.. the food there was nice.. i wanna go again! haha..
its affordable too.. =)

but that day abit suay, cus we were sitting outside the restaurant when we saw a police car drive up and fining the car parked near us, then we all rushed to their cars and were abit angry to find that both their cars were fined! poor thing sia.. both cars somemore.. sad sia..

however, most recently was the recent friday's SD bbq at SAF yacht club - somewhere in the most ulu part of tanah merah..
it was IMPOSSIBLE to go there without vehicle.. super inaccessible lah..
stupid man..

so okay, i reached TM mrt ard late 4, met loewe, cheryl, cecilia and tiffany ard 5pm.. we waited at the taxi stand there.. okay nvm.. we thought it was gonna be fast..

song called us and told us that they were at city hall ard 5 like that..
then in the end, song, poonam and darren reached TM already the stupid shuttle bus still not there!
ppl were getting impatient and frustrated la. but nvm, wait a while more..
wait till the bus came at ard 6pm..
stupid right... shuttle bus so long wait ar.. how come the club so stupid didnt display the timing of the buses..

ok, thats not even the best part yet.. so we were taken to the SAFRA club (the address that was given by parry)..
walked into the place, found parry, joyce and max, and they told us it was the wrong place.. were supposed to go the the SAF yacht club, not the SAFRA club.

woots! happy sia... waited for bus one hr, took another like 20 mins on the bus and we were at the wrong place.. haha.. funny sia..
wasnt a joke, so we walked out while the girls went in parry's car...

outside took 2 cabs lol.. from there to the ACTUAL place another 10 bucks... cus of a stupid jam at a 2 lane road.. where a cab actually broke down in one of the lanes.. and the vehicles that pass through that area all those huge construction trucks.. so imagine.

so got there close to 8pm already.. how to leave early..
so nvm, went there, helped to cook a lil, helped to eat, quite a bit of food.. and the rest was laughter and madness.. haha

it was like Germany's OctoberFest there.. they were drinking soo much beer man.. ive never seen any of my friends alone drinking like more than 10 cans of beer in one night...
and not to mention the endless puffing..
but at least those guys didnt get drunk.. haha..

im telling you, literally, from the moment we started eating ard after 8pm all the way till 4 am, they were drinking.. loewe and song even said that even though drink soo much already feel like drinking somemore.. madness man.. haha

but nvm la.. was fun seeing ppl drink their brains out..
then the rest of them ard 12am like that went to swim in the pool..
the guard came 3 times to warn us that "no swimming after 12am".. they didnt listen to him at all the first couple times..
imagine, 17, 18, 19 yr olds playing catching in the pool and sliding on the pool slide.. haahha..
but was fun just watching everyone enjoying themselves.

oh ya, while they were showering in the girl's toilet, darren said that he saw "someone" threw a white towel over the cubicle.. but when he asked the girls if there was anyone else except for them, they said no, cus they went to shower ard 2 am like that.. and really i dont think anyone was using the toilet, cus even the 2 guys were showering inside..

that really freaked the girls out.. but we still somehow took a night walk at the yacht lot there..
scary.. cus was really late..

i think somewhere ard 3 or 4 am it rained like crazy.. and i looked out the window and see all the yachts at the docks swaying fiercely..
the girls, darren and me decided that we would leave earlier..so we called for a cab to fetch us to the mrt station..

took the first train to the airport, where me, darren, celia and cheryl had breakfast at coffee bean.. wasnt feelin so tired, but once i got on the train home, the dead tired feeling kicked in..couldnt open my eyes at all..

i like chalets and bbqs.. its really like bonding time for everyone who goes la.. esp when there's like 5 or 6 people squeezing into the bed and watching tv and talking.. that's a nice thing..

also during this bbq/chalet i got spent time with my colleagues, to know them outside of work.. they are really fun ppl la.. of cus i guess, since they are all ard my age also.. easier to talk with.. haha.. unfortunately daryl and chris couldnt join us, or it'd had been nicer to have everyone there..

i enjoyed the bbq and the company.. first time also like talking to the SD8 ppl..
but was the bonding with my SD2 ppl that mattered cus i will be working with them.. so i am contented.

p.s that guy whom we took pictures using his laptop with had better send me the pictures!!

and so my day didnt end there, i just came back from my aunt's place a couple hrs ago from a little get together for my cousin's bdae.. just some dinner, sorta..
im tired.. and i wanna slp.. haha

so i guess im ending this post here.. enjoy reading about the april-fest we had at SAF yacht club.. haha!

arrrggghhh!!
what the hell is going on at home man.. everything's soo screwed up la..
i feel soo fucked up...

i really think going to army sooner is better for me.. to run away from all this problems.. and i think i do want to go army sooner..
arrgghh! fck la.. why this kinda thing also can happen..

its fucking irritating me everyday.. i get more mad, and more sad, mad at the person, and sad that the situation's spiralling out of control...
urrgghH! why cant some people just be responsible adults.. fck man..
i just want to run away from home sometimes.. tts y im working - till very very late at night..

also, ive told jamal that there's no point persuing that "dream" anymore..
he was kinda giving me the "i told you so" talk.. well, he did try to help me, but i refused his kind help.. and the story ends up like this..
well, this isnt the fairytale ending i was hoping for..

first i lost hope at home..and now i lost hope in heart too..
ironic, mayb god's punishing me for the bad things ive done..

ya allah, do forgive me of the sins ive done, and help me turn all this mess around and shed some light in my life.. amin.

some people are really good actors..
so good i'd give them a grammy for it...
its truly amazing how some people are truly oblivious to their surroundings.. how they think that the whole world revolves around them..

on another note, i haven had much interaction with x... guess working is really taking a toll on every aspect of my life.. and esp my vie amour (hope that's right)..

cus the distance between us so damn deep...

anw, do you know, that i can type with my eyes closed.. oooohhh.. fascinating erh.. haha

oh and i learnt that, IF you were to EVER video urself singing at home, DONT give/leave your hp with anyone else! they might just send it to other ppl..

[[ this is what i want to say. ]]

hmmm, i must say i miss talking to the ppl in my clique..

i dont sms them.. and i hardly call them..

and i dont see them online.. esp syaz...

i haven seen syaz online some time already.. i wonder how she's doing..

yana leaves me sweet random msgs, so at least that's a form of communication..

i haven talked to kumar either, muthu, or jamal (much)..

and i haven talked to any of my A2 peeps.. only the other day junbin talked to me on msn.. really sweet la.. sudd ask me how i was..
then yst andrea also did the same.. haha

its this kinda random conversations that somehow makes my day u know..

makes me feel remembered.. makes me feel happy to know ppl are taking time off to talk to me.. =)

first off i wanna apologize for haven been calling/smsing/msning/talking much to anyone of late..ive been really busy with work...

i work mostly from 3-11pm or something and dont get the chance to call you guys.. and u know how forgetful i am..

i think im meeting up with zahra and the others at her place on sunday..

errr, ya, i know you're reading this and probably thinking, how come im taking off on sunday and i didnt tell you guys?? what a bastard.. buuuttt....

actually i didnt intend to take off, i told them to CONFIRM the day with everyone and make sure everyone can come, then ill take off..

i can take off, but if i take off just make sure everyone will be able to go out la.. cus otherwise i might waste the day, and instead of getting sales i do nth in the end.. im not trying to imply that my sales is more impt than my friends, but im in dire need of the money.. :S

ya, speaking about money, i got my pay last wk, a PATHETIC amount.. its really really little la.. cus starhub counts the no. of successful sales i got from 5-15 march.. then ended up being only 4 freaking sale.. one sale more or less 30 bucks.. work for one mth in the end got only like 140..

then being the filial son i am, had to give at least something to the rents.. and ended up with a meagre amount after topping up my ezlink card.. not even enough to last 1 wk..

was really disappointed la! cus i thought they'd pay us for the whole of march.. but in the end didnt.. i thought i could get enough to return some money i owe and mayb get a new phone.. stupid starhub just crushed my plans..

and i hope i will get the rest of the money from march soon... :S

okay, for the past 3 years, my hp contract has long been over.. but i didnt sign up for any new contracts or buy any new phones cus nth particular has caught my eye..

but till i saw the SE960i!! that's the ONLY phone that im willing to sign up for a 2 year contract to get...

but when i come to think about it.. should i get that phone.. or a psp... or mayb even an ipod?

my friend is selling away is 16g ipod touch, and he told me he can sell it to me at 520 like that cus im his friend.. but its 500+ lei.. errr abit heart pain la..

yana, i know u read my blog, what do you think girl ??

haha.. im really indecisive...

i dont want anything ridiculously ex though, cus u know how hard it is to part with your own money?? HAHA

kk, nuff said..

oh, i didnt blog about one fine satday when me and the colleagues went for a cycling trip to pulau ubin.. was one of the most, if not THE most, tiring day of my life sia..

cycled like mad dogs.. up and down hills and slopes.. the slopes were our favourite, but the hill was pure torture!

towards the end of the day, i got cramps on my thigh ( due to not stretching ), and at one point both thighs kena cramps...

i really wanted to cry sia.. was really in terrible pain, and i couldnt even stand... was like someone took a knife and stab me in both thighs and twist the knife around..

ill post some of the pics when i get the rest from prada... hopefully i rmb to ask him.. haha

anyhooos, im watching Titanic on some indon channel.. i think titanic is one of the most brilliant movies ever made!

its definitely the most romantic and sad movie ever..and the ending never fails to hit that spot in us..

i know it sounds crazy but, i always somehow think that titanic (the movie) is a true story told on the silver screen.. like every single detail..

and without fail i will go to wikipedia and check it out.. haha

my posts nv fail to disappoint, as in the length of it i mean.. cus i always end up writing a super long entry.. and i know its not easy for people to read...
tts y i adore the peeps who bother to read my entries.. =)

[[ this is what i want to say. ]]

okay, hey all...

firstly, thanks yana, for being so sweet and sending me such a sweet msg! i miss u too hons! i miss all u guys lar.. it really made my day... =))

secondly, this is random, but i really think this is the best season of American Idol, ever.

the amount of raw undiscovered talent is unbelievable.. with the best of the lot being David Archuleta, the guy with the husky-soul capturing-pure-honest voice. really good combination.. and the laid back crooner Jason Castro, and the rocker David Cook.. i think this year is the guys' year. for sure.

lastly, i just wanna post some random list..

in MY opinion, the some of the best love songs of all time are :

I Will Always Love You

Because You Love Me

Against All Odds

Angels

Un-break My Heart

Endless Love

those, in my opinions, are the love songs that is incomparable to anything out there now..

okay, so here is also my take/opinion on 3 of music's best. haha..

Mariah Carey - okay, i love mariah carey. mariah has the vocal prowess no doubt. that crisp vocals, that 5 octave range, that whistle register, are all the perfect ingredients to be a great singer, or diva. the only thing for me, is when mariah is actually singing in the high notes, its not her full vocals, most of the time, they are very airy and falsetto-like.. and sometimes its hard to see mariah giving full emotions to the songs she's singing cus she'll be busy with the technical aspects of her singing style.. and also, as the years past, i realise, esp now, that her voice cracks very often.. its not as perfect as it was 10 years ago, but hey, the woman has sold over 100 million albums, so who am i to disagree?

Whitney Houston - on the other hand, is The Voice. whitney is unmatched in the vibrato section. no one, and i mean no one, can do a vibrato like whitney can. and when whitney goes for the high notes, esp in her prime, its really powerful full vocals high notes. she's like a soprano, like a opera singer even. that powerful voice, awesome. but, having the same fate as mariah, whitney seems to struggle reaching those high notes.. and more so esp when she performs her mega hit "I Will Always Love You", and just gets it short of hitting the right note towards the end of the song.. i guess years of substance abuse did her awesome vocals harm.. but hey, there's still only one whitney.

Celine Dion - celine dion is on the same level as that of whitney. celine's vocals is really powerful, coming from that small frame of hers.. and her range is also incredible.. its also perfect most of the time.. and her live performances sounds as good as her albums, or even better. celine has maintained herself and her voice, and even after 4 years headlining at Caesar Palace's almost nightly shows, her voice still sounds great.. and its quite amazing to see her sing, cus sometimes she barely opens her mouth but still sounding great..

u have to give them credit where credit is due. i mean do u really think that they will alwwaayyss have their voices unchanged - after 20, 25 yrs singing their little hearts out..

and dont get me started on michael jackson. haha. =)

[[ this is what i want to say. ]]

ok, so this is a so called edited version of my last entry..

i really was dead freaking tired when i got home last night.. so tired that i fell aslp on the bus, and it took me on a round trip journey that took an extra 45 mins to get home.. wtf rite..
cus when i realised i missed my stop, was abit too late..

anw, i just wanna blog about how great an experience working at the exhibition was.. i mean, im new at this, and i was still able to do it, surprisingly..
but with the help of the other guys of cus..

the wkends were tiring i have to admit, waking up bright and early, 7.30am to be exact, cus we had to be at suntec bfore 9am..
then we'd start work at 10am till 10pm or thereafter..

but for me, the tiredness is only towards the end of the day, cus during the 12 hrs, ur kept on ur toes..
and ur mouth dries up real fast..
but that's the fun part, talking to ppl!
must say i enjoy talking to polite and considerate customers - and extremely not to those who really live up to the "customer is KING" policy..

however, the best part of the whole exhibition?
was that there were many, many really good looking girls there! (the starhub ppl also)
when i say really, some of them were really, really good lookin'.. haha!
all poly students somemore.. oohh.. hahaha

but u know how sometimes u find those really good looking girls, and somehow they think the world of themselves..
the ppl there werent..in fact, most of them were very polite..

and there's this particular one who helped me with some mobile invoices...
wow. =)
*biggg smile*

haha!

but on the whole i think the whole thing was fun.. i kinda sucked on the first half of the first day..
like wasnt sure of the things i was supposed to do and not do.. and had to keep asking.. but thank god cecilia and loewe were next to me to help! thnks dude and dudette!

oh, i think credits should also go to pei shi (i dont know how to spell her name), our "runner".. she really helped us alot la.. and wasnt complaining even for a second..
she was really easy to work with.. so shout out to u!

i hope that all the sales go through seh.. haha.. so that in 3 mths time can spend abit more.. yes, that's how long ill hav to wait to get paid for the wkend gig..

anw, i still haven get my pay for last mth.. i hope its coming soon.. i wanna get some stuff.. haiyah.. and i hope its sufficient..

poly is starting next wk, and everyone is prolly getting excited about it.. everyone, except for me.. i miss having that feeling of excitement, knowing that sch will start.. and we will meet friends and new lecturers and new jokes and laughter and all that..

its really hard to grasp lar, the reality that ive graduated.. even jamal just now mentioned on how he misses the joy of going to sch.. cus now, working takes alot out of us la..
everyday sure tired out one.. then we cant go out.. cant meet up..
that sucks..

anw, slowly but surely, im learning to forget. =S
i dont know if that's gd or bad..

im dead freakin tired and im bloggin.. im gonna do this short, will continue some other day...

SO, i just came back from the final day of the Starhub Exhibition at Suntec Convention... this past 2 days has been rather learning.. as in ive learned alot of new things and ive at least experienced the fun of doing an exhibition.. this is my first and last exhibition i think cus after june ill be going into ns mah, so i think this is the last lar..

the past 2 days ive also had the chance to work and know better the people that i sometimes see in the office.. i mean, i rather these guys are how they are during the fair..

anw, everyone was really nice, i always had problems like especially the mobile services, but they always managed to help me.. and its freakin busy i tell u..

the best part of the experience i think is sharing sales frontline with cool friends..
hmm, when i had nth to do ar.. id stare into spce..... im starting to type nonsense.. bye..
