:: tea break ::

Nothing beats a nice tea break. Like the one i have now.. At bakerzin UE square, having dessert tapas and a pot of strawberry tea. Relaxing. But the Macbook beside means there's job to be done.. Orh..

:: . ::

When the sentence gets too long,
use the full stop.

:: squeeze me dry ::

the series of camps is drying me out
really
be it just being a programmer cum senior attached in hall camp
(for onli 2 days till date)
or be it as a fake freshie cum siao on group leader..

i'm badly deprived of sleep
looking tanned (or should i say chao tah)
sleepy and unstable
sunken face
but constantly trying to look good..

the weather this week is amazingly hot
just the opposite of last week

today i'm suppose to be playing paintball and dragon boating and going on amazing race
and shi zi lu kou vers 2.01 with the people in Taser
but i'm so tired
i've decided to do something else less taxing but more dreaded
that is so settle the stuffs that have been piling up
my family stuffs, business stuffs, education stuffs, financial stuffs, drama stuffs..

i've been running around more
albeit alone and more freedom
but i met some people around and they all seem to be so relaxed
while i look at a completely diminished stress ball..

its alright..
just some time more to go
it will all be over and i can enjoy my school life
drained off all these extra activities
and concentrate on my studies..

:: 一切完美 ::

a really nice and meaningful song
which is really well liked these days
Perfect Cut was a nice show
no matter if you think it was a pun/spin off from nip/tuck
or it was a real life "mock-cumentary"
even if just a simple reflection of the realities and situation
the show and song is a hit!

我知道我变漂亮了 -
《一切完美》主题曲
詞/曲：石欣卉
製作：陳達偉

过去的批评嘲讽 Let it go Let it go
过去的轻蔑冷落 Let it go Let it go
有些人口不饶人 却忘了瞧瞧自己
又有什么资格

时刻都善良待人 Let’s move on Let’s move on
时刻都做好本分 Let’s move on Let’s move on
有些人心思浅薄 绝不是宽容
自暴自弃的理由

也许 确实也受过言语打击
也许 因此而失去了自信心
但千万别将勇气深锁在阴影里
我们又不会妨碍这世界（的）美丽

我知道我变漂亮了
我知道我被注意了
曾难过 失落
微笑一下就过
外在的美貌容易戳破
内在的美好细水长流

我知道我变漂亮了
我知道我也豁达了
不自卑 不埋怨
就算还差一点点
用内涵弥补一切缺陷
内在的美 迷住每个人的眼

----------------------------------------

another perfect acting i would like to comment on
is that of Heath Ledger (aka Mr Brokeback)
and his great performance of Joker in the batman movie
The Dark Knight
although i haven't watched it yet
but i am waiting with much anticipation
knowing that it will be a good show..

(unfortunately he isn't around anymore to listen to these rave reviews
and see the nods to commend on his performance.)

:: Thyra Rocks! part 2 ::

To continue the fun...

day 2:
day 2 started off with another mass dance practice
then we headed to the rugby field at SRC for war games
the challenge was to have fun with water bombs
and build a little "camp base" wrapped with toilet rolls
and protect it during the fight
ensuring that it won't be wet..
however
all the teams failed miserably
but had loads of fun with the water bombs
be it filled with water
or "teh-c", water with mud.. eww..

the afternoon had us gunned off for a day of amazing race around singapore
got the chance to climb up to the top
as we reached the new park connectors in the west
flew kites at west coast park
walked through the henderson waves
view sight from mount faber park
play games at vivo city
enjoy good food at Chinatown and its neghbouring vicinities
then head down to settler's cafe
and ending with a visit to the Singapore Flyer.
after that
we headed for a night of chalet stay at Sentosa
which was really a BAD experience
because the room was ridiculously small
and was suppose to fit 20 people
many ended up sleeping by the benches around
on the floor
or at the poolside... PPLM (poor planning low morale)

Day 3:
we were at Sentosa already
so beach games was the highlight naturally
waking up to rain
we were worried
and prayed for the rain to clear
nonetheless
the rain cleared in time for a fun morning of beach games
it ended with a telematch where the people had to save a "princess" on a little offshore island

we told them that they will get dirty still later at night
so they washed up a little
and we were headed back to NTU
where we will be staying for 2 nights

that night
the couples were paired up for SP initiation
and it was fun going around to disturb the couples
especially the guys and gals who were from Thyra
eavesdropping on their conversation
making funny sounds to disturb them
and taking care of their welfare
they underwent the dirty initiation games
with chilli and flour and eggs
and got a nice treat with their SP of a bowl of warm green bean soup..
the night ended late
getting to sleep only after 4am
and most importantly
they had to bathe clean before going to bed..

day 4:
a relatively simple day
with day games in the morning being cancelled
mass dance practise took over
and the people got prepared for
the ultimate takan session
in the afternoon..

after the boys and girls got dressed up and prepared
we brought them to different place
and it was the guys turn to go search for their SP..
they were "treated" to different experience
at each room
and the seniors had fun playing with them..
doing stuffs like jumping around
stripping
singing
dancing
and getting all embarassed and sweaty
before winning the hands of their ladies
for a romantic night out at Pariss International for a fantastic dinner

the night was fun filled with good food..
scallops
sashimi
oysters
sharks fin soup
delicious cheesecake
and fun games to fill the room with warmth, romance and laughter..

the night came to an end with a night of fun and drinks at DXO
where all the boys and girls went wild
snapping photos
and dancing to the hippest new tunes to the like of pussycat dolls and madonna
and retro hits like YMCA and loads of mambo tunes
fun! fun! fun!

day 5:
the camp was near the end
in the morning
all prepared for the finale night
having rehearsals and all
awaiting for a blast at night

afternoon
we played the finale game of Cluedo
real life computer war game style fantasy game
fighting the evil villains
and getting clues to save the princess
the game wasn;t completed
unfortunately
due to a lack of time..

then all were gathered for the finale night at Hall 3 function hall
and the GLs were dressed up (cross dress) for a night of "urban pageant"
fun and laughter filled the function room
and was pushed to the climax when my team performed
we put up a nice little skit based on the theme of "Desperado"

the camp ended
with the presentation of awards
Thyra received Best Perseverence

when it came down to best male freshie
everyone cheered for someone who was really proud and loud
but fortunately
the judges had eyes
and it was awarded to the most deserving guy
Kuan Wee (Trent) of Thyra!
yeah.. i'm so proud of my freshie..
look forward to meeting all of you real soon

all thyra-ians
remember to go for the welcome tea
and join in CAC activities next year okay?
hope to be part of the fun at CAC FOC again next year..

till then..

Castovia Rocks!
Thyra rocks!!!

:: Thyra Rocks! ::

after 5.5 days of fun, its finally come to an end.
a whole year of hard work and anticipation
finally draws to a close
as we look forward to more participation
and excitement in the following year
when school starts again!

NTU CAC FOC kicked off to a fun start
i've yet to upload some photos i've taken
will do so asap!

but here's a round up of the activities and my feelings

Day 0:
first day had me reporting back to CAC room last sunday
was excited and all
then
being a "fake freshie"
i had to go seperate from my team of group leaders (gls)
and be part of the action
pretending to mix around like a freshman
arriving at boon lay mrt
joining the crew for fun
and talking and making new friends
it was a tough job using my fake name (i was called Willie, it took some time to get used to)
and had to learn the people's names fast
as we played some ice breaker games and cheers
it was superbly pathetic for me
because i'm a loud guy and wanted to teach them cheers and games
but had to be reserved so as not to be exposed!
night games followed and ran around to play
it was a good oppotunity for bonding, i felt, being a fake freshie
i was more close to them.
then we round up with painting of our Thyra banner!
sleep was only gained at 4am...

day 1:
monday started and tireness began to set in
kicking off with a mass dance pratice.
following that, tour de ntu
i had to take part in the various games
however
i was injured once again
my previous back injury returned to haunt me
but the journey to the clinic for medical review was a good opportunity for me to recover my
senior stand
as i went with 2 of my friends
and could finally talk without hindance.
pool games in the afternoon had to be cancelled unfortunately due to rain.
evening came
and fright night continued.
i was a fkae freshie
but didn't walk through the fright as we did not have adequate time..
(fright night is time consuming)
back in the function room while we changed and waited for the other groups to return
i was back in my super enthu mood
because later tt night
i would be reinstated
and needn't act as a freshie anymore!
after the camp com told all about the fake freshie..
they all started to look stunt and had to guess who it was
after several tries
i decided to just exposed myself and return to being Isaac!
haha.. all in the name of fun,. people
its not easy being a fake freshie you know!

i would continue my story later..coz i'm tired typing things.. haha..

to be continued..

Thyra @ Castovia..
the civilisation lives on!

:: NDP08 part 5 ::

I'm back at the Marina bay floating platform today. And to welcome me, SFI has decided to prepare a wholesome meal of western that i so miss since my ns days.. Wow.. Black pepper roasted quarter chicken with a generous resting of boiled potatoes, corn on cob and toasted bun.. I'm impressed.. Simple n delicious. Too bad i'm on a non carbo diet.. So i can't have the potatoes. It looks deliciou.. Hmm.. Temptation.. SFI scores this time around..

:: tired? ::

we got sporty today

as a group of my army friends went to play badminton..
i admit
i suck at sports
but at least
i've the courage to start having more contact with sports
simple ones though
at this age..

but all efforts seem to go to waste
when we went cafe cartel for lunch
and helped ourselves to endless helpings of bread..
evil!

i then proceeded to have my hair cut
so i went far east to look for Zen
i asked him if i could do the china-doll staight cut look
he said my hair was "pong pong" in front
and will flare up
so he cut a asymmetric short kempt style for me..



thereafter
i tried my luck going tangs to look for weizhi
which coincidentally
was on shift
(he was suppose to leave at 4.30, but stayed on a little longer.. so.. haha.. yuan fen!)
and we chatted a while
and thereafter proceeded to SMU
coz he was meeting his gf there

i became "dian deng pao"
eating my first Subway cold cut trio salad
which is amazingly good
for 6 bucks
you get a pretty decent portion of veges, ham, and dressings..

he offered to accompany me to walk to esplanade
where i was catching Happy Robin
on the way
we chatted on several stuffs
on the word "atas" and "wasting"
which seems like the hit word these days

i must admit
that in recent months
I've grown to develop the liking once again for the exquisite
the expansive
its not like i'm dying to reach the upper class of society
because i sincerely think i would be unable to
but..
being able to think of yourself seems self-satisfying
so let me live in my own world

while wc said tt he is constantly feeling tired
since the first semester school started
i think other than the fact that we are older
is the fact that university life is vastly different
and coping and managing is a big hoo-haa
putting it in the corrct place and leading an enriched life is not easy
but if well accomplished
you will lead the most fruitful period of your life.

i am still trying to arrange my lifestyle
and there are many factors and faces to it..
i need the time to slowly piece it together
and i need to do it fast
for one, this is a rat race
for another
i've not much time left

moving on
i went to catch Happy Robin
a music sharing session
where ex-TCS actor, star search finalist
currently Jia 88.3 DJ
cum accomplished stage actor (Chang & Eng, Asian Boys Volume 2 and 3)
Robin Goh performs a Jazz gig @ esplanade theatre studio
tonight marks the first night of a four nite shows

the short one hour show
had Robin chatting about life and love
and singing several hits and some special classics
(he did a jazz version of Singapura and yue liang dai biao wo de xin)
and bravely stood out as the guy with a great pink heart
and exposed some little ditty dirty decrets
(such as loving Men, big and strong, and falling for guys
who just meet the minimum legal age (if there is such in Singapore.. pun..))

i can't agree more to his believe on love
that PLU love lives are often dreamt of and wished to be so perfect
but more often than not
turns out to be just.......

well
surprise
dearie willie appeared outside the theatre waiting for me before the show
yes, he bought a tix without my knowledge
so we enjoyed the concert together
just when i thought i would be lonely.. well well..
such little surprise makes life interesting
spicing up our little lovey dovey relationship..:)

to willie:
yup.. nex week will be our 5th month together
people might think as grown ups
why are we still concern about the little months
but deep down
we understand that for people like us
each month count is special in its own little way
like an achievement
a great task accomplished!
i'll be in orientation camp next week
so we shall have our little celebration after that
will miss you loads when i dun see you
for a whole whole week.. orh...
still..
i love you..

:: do- mo- ::

Reliving the days when we first saw this cute clay figurine coming out from an egg.. Domo is a rare gem on tv shorts actually. It looks scary, but inside, its an innocent, cute, adventurous, fun, ignorant thing that we still dunno came from where? Domo..

:: healthy living ::

isaac is fat
and he knows it
even with regular runs in the parks
and several 5 and 10k runs in the past few weekends
and regular swims and fitness sessions at the gym
he is still not losing weight
instead
increasing at a steady rate..
that is BAD!

so with consultation from wil
and the decision made
plus a little will power n determination
isaac will start from yesterday
to adopt a whole new eating habit
which will hopefully see him revive the "post-BMT" look
at least for a start

so the minimum carbohydrate goes into each meal
and much more vegetables
a little meat n fish
and just adequate amount of oil

cut soft drinks to maximum a can a week
and rely solely on plain water
eat in moderation
reduce intakes of salt n other sauces
natural spices works best

double the training for running and swimming
and weights training at a regular interval

anybody keen to help isaac
or to join isaac?

:: big brother sense ::

everytime we meet new people
or when he run into old friend
he will introduce me bravely as his partner

but when we run into my friend
i would say he is my friend..

he is like a big brother to me
his friends thoroughly agree with me
our 10 year age gap
does nothing to improve the situation

he is more intelligent
diligent
creative
motivated
understanding

he is like a role model to me
90% of the time when we are really sitting down to talk
he is always the one passing on his big brother sense to me..
like he always does to his little brother (not me, his real brother)

so nonetheless
sometimes i will think to myself
why am i so "glue-ed" to him
is it because i take him as the "kor kor" i never had
or is it really love

well
time has come to tell
that this is normal in a relationship
because he has undergone so much
he knows what is best for me
and in fact
that would be a good thing.

loving him is a bliss
the happiness, the many things that come along
you get to experience a better, more well-rounded life
i am really happy.

that's just me
i would prefer someone more mature to teach me things
because life is a lesson in itself
dear.. thanks for being a teacher to me as well..

at least
i know that i'm more suited to being the person being led
than being a leader in relationship.

suddenly thinking of the days..
when i was dating people who always look up to me.. tts so not me..
to the girls who seem to wait for something to happen..
tts just not my cup of tea..
this is, i know..

enjoyment. bliss. of being willie's pampered little darling..

:: 天才与白痴 ::

it took us a long while
to know that in a relationship
there must be one party who is willing
to be the idiot
to dwelve into LOVE..
and enjoy whatever the other party throws at him
be it good or bad..
two mutually consensus people
one will be 白痴
the other will act as the 天才.

dearie n i take turn
in tricking one another with our little ways
to show our affections for one another
so called opposite ends attract..
but we are more like super random magnets
changing polarity at different times

there will be sometime where he is the big brother to be
but at others i take the leading role
because we don't persistantly be the one in power
that's probably why we can last
from the start till now..

we rarely quarrel
more often than not either party will give in, in less than an hour
we make up quite fast
and life goes on as usual thereafter
he sometimes makes the decision
sometimes, the choice is mine

people see us as one, gradually
but deep down
we know we are two seperate entities
and the reason we can be seen as one by others
is because we have so many empty voids in our lives
that the other can fill in (hopefully) seamlessly
maybe this is called
天衣无缝

:: hot hot ::

i've got a migraine
a fever
a sore throat
ON A SATURDAY MORNING!

hate it to the max..
couldn't go for NDP NE show 2 today
dreaded
still can't watch my 5 minutes of black knights acrobatic display
and 3 minutes of fire works
hopefully today's show is a failure and everyone gotta slog it out with irritable guest.. haha
so evil of me..
anyway
i'm like rotting my day away because i'm sick and i can't do anything except eat medicine and watch boring tv shows..
saturday no good shows like price is right, wheel of fortune or ellen show one lo..
only got my Doraemon at 930.. which i missed cause i was still aching and moaning while sleeping..
although being at marina bay viewing gallery in white n red is not a very easy job and
not too comfortable
but it beats staying and dying slowly at home!

super suay isaac..

thanks willie for taking care of me this dreadful morning..
hope to get well soon...
like..
by today afternoon!

:: The Perfect Cut . Episode 2 review ::

in the second episode of this 13 parter
it took a look at something i quite interested in doing.. and in fact, did a little.. haha
LIPOSUCTION..

yes.. i did it for my chin area so as to not aggravate my double chin
now i'm trying hard for it not to return.. lol

as for the show today
we saw zheng wanling in a very loud character as Emily Tan.
she consulted Kelly for view on how to look better.
although Kelly advised her to look to Sky for gym trainings
she turned to dr lollipop instead (its Dr Bobby Low, played by Dick Su)
after two failed consultations
she went home disheartened
only to get reprimanded by her younger brother Alex
who dislikes her loud character (in this case, it leaves her single partially due to her being loud AND an holding a "scary" job of being a mortician.)
Alex brought up the different negative side effects and possible after effects of liposuction.

personally
i am suffering from a slight after effect of liposuction currently
my lower chin, towards the left,
constantly feels numb, and when pressed against,
has a painful sensation.

yup..

but if i got the money,
well
i would still consider to go for liposuction..
I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT..
someone please save me
any personal trainers reading my blog willing to help me for free? haha..

(oh ya, if Julian Hee can be my personal trainer, i promise to lose all my weight within a month.. but then again, i might wana take longer so i can see him more often.. swoons..)

i find the three siblings very unique and special
they are all "beauticians" in their own ways
a "fake" beautician
a "body" beautician
a "deadman" beautician..

looking for more drama tomorrow..

(no review on thrid episode tmr, as i'll be watching Tizzy Bac's concert at Esplanade tmr..
so sad..)

:: this is Tara ::

No, not the amazing race asia, but a delicious pizza from Spizza for friends. TARA contains tomato, parmasan cheese, bacon, mushrooms and an egg. Sorry for showing you such a picture, i only remembered about telling my frIends about this when i finished half of it.. So yup.. This is my favourite pizza flavour from Spizza.. I love quinto too.. Yeah.. Oh ya, must mention that Spizza's pizzas are roasted in traditional spit fire wooden ovens.. Yeah.. Think of the chamber.. Thus the pizzas all taste delicious and packs a flavourful punch.. Friends, anyone keen to share a Spizza with me?

:: The Perfect Cut . Episode 1 review ::

being a fan of Julian Hee AND Thomas Ong
I am more than glad to be able to a (hopefully) periodic episode review

In the debut episode of the brand new channel U's show Perfect Cut
we see a trio of people who can definitely make you look good
we have local top aesthetician Alex Tan (played by Thomas Ong)
friend and listener, clinical psychiatrist Kelly Lim (Michelle Chia)
and hunky, cute, ever fabulous darling of mine,
Julian Hee (as Sky Tan, the buffed up personal trainer).

they come into contact with a problem couple who is psychotically unstable
Yoyo (constance song) is a married woman who is emotionally affected by her husband sam (bernard tan) who doesn't seem to be interested in her, thus she begins to let her imagination run wild, thinking that sam likes women with large breasts.
she gives up the long term psychological consultations, and looks for Alex instead for a brest enhancement surgery.

however, sam is actually more interested in Julian Hee.

as the story unfolds, we see the complication between the five of them.

the show reaches a climax when my darling Sky announced to Sam that he is not gay
(yah, like i believe..). then sam's job is disconnected.. while Yoyo rushes to do yet another surgery.

and then, someone called Alex to tell him someone is dead..

on all, i seriously think the drama is really intense. it was on the whole a tight show, and really reflected the society's veiwpoints on the topic in a positive light.
the surgery scenes was quite gross, especially since i was having my dinner. eeeww...

the actors acting were above average. i must give credit to Julian Hee for giving the
Beach.Ball.Babes (channel 8's 9pm drama)
girls a run for their money.
he revealed his tanned and toned body in many scenes, and looks FANTASTIC.
its a real pity tha this might be his very last show with the station..
(i sincerely hope they will have a vcd or dvd collection of the show,
for me to swoon over him.. lol)
credits also go to Constance Song for yet another courageous performance.

in my opinion: heart is more important. breast size doesn't really matter. viewing for pleasure.
but i believe that if i were to date Fiona Xie, i would feel very insecure..
(and yes, Yoyo, Sam likes people with big chests, but must be muscular.. haha.. Julian has quite formidable chest siah..)

:: happy days ::

I realise not working for money makes me much happier!
really!

i've been involved in a whole load of volunteering work in the past week
though i slog it all out under hot sun,
or immense pressure
and meeting easily irritable people
but my life is felt being so much more nourished..

i guess working as a volunteer
you look forward to the little good stuffs you gain at the end of it
with the experience being priceless!
you will feel tt you are a better breed of human being
and at least you are not working simply for money and not being happy.

you get to meet new friends.
and find a new meaning to life
and share experiences and life with different assortment of people.

so for the Arts Fest festival maze friends i've made under the heat at Raffles City
thank you for the experience

to the people i've known better at The Giving Place opening
thank you for the experience

my group R2 and all others i know through NDP Bay Ambassador
thank you for the experience and looking forward to more fun days ahead!

the young friends i've made at Osim Singapore Triathlon
race pack packing and expo day 1
thanks for the experience and looking to work with some of you again
on the race this weekend

constantly on the look out for new volunteering opportunities
and learn along the way
enjoy and have fun..

*1 key to the joy of volunteering..
because you are not a paid staff
they can't scold you for fault
and even if u put aeroplane..
but tts not very good la.. *
