# Listening to: .hack//Liminality - Tasogare no Umi-
I watched the Incredibles with Hongwei, Royston and Yah Fong yesterday. It was hilarious. XD Well, the standard of Disney movies are picking up again. That's great. =) I used to be quite disappointed with Disney movies at one point of time, cos it was not up to standards in terms of plot and artwork compared to their earlier works like Cinderella, Aladdin, Lion King, etc. Well, they should focus entirely on CG from now on. ^^
I was late yesterday, cos I went for a haircut before meeting them. Dad commented my hair looked like a Chinese labour worker's (I wasn't the one who said it! ^^;;) and therefore, I desperately needed a haircut. Initially, we agreed to meet at 12.30 pm, but I reached there at 12.45, being the usual late me. However, what was shocking is that Yah Fong was the first to reach! Best part was, the late me was second! OMFG! I'm usually the last, but hey, I've met my match yet again. XD
We went to check out the timeslots and realised that the tickets were selling fast, meaning only the lousy seats (aka first few rows) were left and we decided to watch at a later timing: 4 pm. The next 3.5 hours were spent as follows:
1 hour - window shopping, arcade (hongwei is good at Para Para)
2.5 hours - rotting at Cafe Cartel, Yah Fong's territory
The 3 of us were continuously chatting about Maple Story, leaving poor Yah Fong out, and we bullied her into taking the bread for us, placing orders, taking drinks, etc. :lol: The beef pasta was not bad, just that the portion was somehow pathetic. ^^;;
Went for the movie and we were debating to buy sweet or salted popcorn. Yah Fong and I preferred sweetened popcorn while Royston and Hongwei wanted salted. We gave up and bought mixed. It was funny to see us fighting to eat the sweet and salted popcorn in the theatre. Royston tried drinking using all 4 straws and ended up...well...*censored* There was a kid seated beside me who got terrified and ran off! :lol: But he came back shortly after.
God, Mayday was having a autograph session at Plaza Singapura as well. Lucky! XD We stood there after the movie and watched for a while. I might buy their new album afterall. ^^
It was quite an enjoyable day, considering it's been a while since I watched a movie in a group.
Anyway, to the Mohawks! You guys were a wonderful bunch. ^^ Remember what you've learned through this camp ah. And to those whom I've poured out my experiences and thoughts about life as GL etc etc. (yes, that's you, Royston, Hongwei, Peiying, Suraj, Yi Chao, Jason, Pei Ying, Pam, Felicia, SC, E Ping, and a few of those I accidentally missed out. ^^;;) Remember what I've said and told you guys, ya? Upon reading several GLs' blogs, I'm really glad to be remembered as Lao De, and that I've impacted your life as a GL. I'll be back to see you guys during FOC, so I wanna see you guys still around, alright? Don't quit halfway through this race, cos FOC is just a few steps ahead. Work not for yourself, but for the greater good. Remember what I've said during the second night of camp, that we are all one family, and that a leader is one that leads, and be led. Put aside the differences, and bond using your similarities: for FOC.
Well...eh...hmmm...erm...you guys can do it, cos you've got excellent SGLs and AGLs guiding you along. How do I know? Cos they were the ones that made FOC successful, not me.
*sigh* I wanna be a GL all over again.

# Listening to: TWO-MIX - Last Impression-
Finally back from St. John Island. *phew* It was a long, tiring and fun camp. I thought FOC was tiring, but I met my match. XD
Had a mahjong the night before the camp with Terry, Cabin and Junjie. Played till about 11 pm then Cabin and Junjie stayed over at my place. I slept at about 4.30 am that night. Couldn't sleep.
Next morning, went to meet Yah Fong, who live about 2 streets from me, then went to Harbour Front together. Chatted and talked a lot of crap with Cabin, and it seemed entertaining to the rest (namely Royston, SC, E Ping and Yah Fong) whom we met along the way there. Lameness had overtaken us that early and it lasted throughout the entire camp.
After meeting up with the rest of the SGLs and GLs, we left for St. John's Island. It was a long 1 hour journey ahead, and we were all sweating by then. The moment we reached St John's Island, we headed for the bunk, and waited for Kim Tee to come with the keys. After the doors were opened, Qingfeng, Junjie and I chiong inside, counted the plates, bowls and stuff and began cooking. No time to waste at all, even for resting. *sigh* So we had to cook fried rice for 50+ people, which is equivalent to about 5 kg of rice. Imagine the amount we had to fry. -_- Qingfeng, Terry and I took turns to fry and we had todo QC on all the products. Junjie tried frying rice for the first time that day. :lol:
Immediately after lunch, we had to proceed with dinner preparation. See? No time to rest at all. :lol: Qingfeng and I washed the kitchen floors, did preparations with dinner and boiled water. Hectic day, I tell you. After dinner, I helped Cherina and Zhihui with night games. Thankfully our station was near the bunk, or else I would have died. If you head over to Zhi's blog, you'll see pics of me lying down, dying. XD Then 3 of us chit chatted until our first group came.
Later that night, Qingfeng and I stayed up to marinate the chicken for the BBQ, as well as attending the camp comm meeting that night. The rest of the night was then dedicated to boiling water and preparing for breakfast. Then, Qingfeng and I decided that we shall prepare everything at one shot, and then sleep till 11 tomorrow and prepare for lunch. Heh. So then, we slept at about 6 am, and woke up at 11 am. Jingpei and Kim Tee came personally to wake us up and splashed water at my face even. -_-ll
Finally, on the second day, I get to go out of the bunk area. Led the Mohawks on a treasure hunt around the island. It's fun to see the youngsters having fun and pulling each other along the way. ^^ Then, before we went for the last clue, I made them memorise the history of St. John's Island. :lol: Before that, I made them count the no. of benches along the coastline and when they returned, I ask them how many green rubbish bins were there. They stood there, stunned. XD
Later that night, we had BBQ. Sadly, I didn't get to eat the stuff. Kudos to the girls who helped cook the food and served the GLs. ^^ It was a long and tiring night and then, Mahathir suggeste star gazing. The sky was amazingly clear that night.
Each year when I go St. John's Island, I would enjoy going to the beaches at night to star gaze or head over to the jetty to look at fishes. Then I brought several of the 'kids' on an educational trip to do these. Jessie said something to me, which I didn't know how to react. She said 'Eugene, I realised tonight that you are so knowledgable.' Diaoz~ You mean most of the time, I'm not? :lol:
Started preparing for breakfast later on. Qingfeng was sick the night before, so I didn't want to wake him up. Thankfullu, Fei, Pamela, Zhihui, KC and Guan Rong helped me throughout the night, along with 7 other GLs, who sacrificed their sleep with me. Heh thanks guys.
Didn't sleep all night, and we began packing up. Before leaving the island, we offered offerings and prayed, in case we offended anything there. Better be safe than never.
It was a tiring camp, indeed. I've had fun times but it was super tiring for the helpers. Don't you guys agree? Heh. Once I reached home at 3.30 pm, I slept till 4 am, woke up for a while, then slept again at 5 am and woke up at 1 pm just now. Almost 24 hrs!! OMFG!

# Listening to: Midori no Hibi - Chiisana Tegami-
it's scary how a simple feeling like 'like' can turn into 'dislike', 'love' into 'hate' and vice versa. it's scary to see 180 degrees changes and friends turning into complete strangers. I wonder, where did they all go: the past events, things that we've done for them, and they've done for us, the understanding between 2 parties.
Strange, isn't it? Hmm? Being alive is as complex as it gets. Once, I really hated politics. No, I'm not against the government. It's like the politics of inter-personal relationships. I hated how everyone beated about the bush about their thoughts, and that they can't be honest with me even if it's my fault. But now, I realised, politics are part and parcel of life. You can't run away from them, you can't hide from them. I was, afterall, living in a world of my own.
Now, I can reaffirm myself that yes, life is indeed complex. I have lost friends, and I wouldn't care if they weren't important people to me. Yes, to me, my friends are important, those that I really value as friends. Why? Cos they are friends, damn it. My sister told me, that I value friends more than my own family. Haha...I see some truth in these words at last.
And Fei, I really didn't find those comments in the log funny, even though it was jokingly. I'm sorry for being a jerk in your eyes, and I'm terribly sorry for whatever-that-has-pissed-you-off-since-God-knows-when. And I don't even know ifyou read my blog for leisure, or in anticipation of me wallowing in self-pity.
A question to all you guys and winner gets no prize: Is being anxious = guilty conscience? Well, isn't it equivalent to this: Does all black birds = crow? No, but all crows = black birds. I need to bugger off from everyone's lives, lest I be labelled as an official jerk. No wait, maybe I already am being labelled as one. Hmmm...
Excuse my language, but I feel terribly fucked up now. Why? Cos I feel wronged. By who? Friends.
I. need. a. direction. Life is like a drama, yes it is. So here I am, all broken from the hurts that people have hauled from all directions. Glad to see me like this? I'm glad you are. A satisfied customer, another dumbass hurt. Excellent. Most splendid.
I am a bloody paranoid fool that's super sensitive. Sue me.
Oh, did I mention I finally got a computer chair? Grey in colour, and it's dirtying my walls. It's worthy to rejoice. I call her, Linda. (For those of you who didn't get it, it's extracted from Scary Movie 3.)
Why can't I just be a simpler me.

# Listening to: Tales of Phantasia - Yume wa Owaranai-
I finally got Shining Force III Scenario 3! *joy* Thanks to the guys at Saturn Torrents. Now, back to more RPG action with Synbios, Medion and Julian! XD
I've been playing a lot of games lately, it seems. Borrowed Yi Tian Tu Long Ji from Wei Liang, which is nice but it's real time action, when I thought it's turn-based. That'd mean adequate graphics and not much special effects. *sigh* And I've decided to finally continue my Maple Story character. ^^ Just got Diablo 2 as well, and I feel I have a lot of games to play, but very little time. Heh.
Going for a job interview on Tuesday, thanks to Cherie's recommendations. Thanks!
I'm thinking of joining NaNoWriMo but I still owe the guys at Dreamers my RP posts (especially James and Sel ^^;;) so till i've finished with my Vanz/Syia sidestory, I probably won't be starting on NaNoWriMo (whoever thought of this term didn't go through CATS class -_-lll)
James, Sel: I am halfway through my post! Hmmm...ok 1/4. 4K so far...I will break your record, James! Kat's record is just too much for me. ^^;;

# Listening to: To Heart Remember My Memories - Daisuki Da Yo-
Hmm...suddenly felt the true behind a phrase, which I've learned a couple of years back. "If you don't tell them the truth, someone will tell them a lie." How true.
Therefore, I urge all those who wishes to know what exactly happened between so and so and me, feel free to come up to me and ask, rather than believing in hear-say.
Received quite a surprising news last night. I thought I was the only one, but hey, she did it too. :lol: Actually kinda expected, since the guy actually came down to meet her. But was surprised it was him. Hmmm...life is full of surprises afterall.
