wow. guess what date it is today. its the 28th of november. my last post was on 15th november. lets count. 28 - 15 = 13. yay! full marks for this question! ok that was crap.rite.. i havent posted for 13 days. thats a very long time. well i cant help it. been busy playing games i suppose. well not really. went for job interviews and product trainings and the like. not to touch on jobs here, what else i've been doing so far is painfully obvious. game and game and game. yup. so, shall i talk about my games? it would be the first time and i really don't like talking about games on my beautiful blog. okay. i shall not. the thing is, hardcore-ing a game is really crap. namely PKO. guess what? i'm sick of it again! most likely quitting it.. again unfortunately. well i quited last time due to similar reasons. ironic.. quit just to start playing it again some time later.
ok.. putting games aside, i've also been playing the piano. thats good. yes very good. keeps me away from the com. however, my left little finger is numbed and that really screws my effectiveness in landing accurately when it gets fast. doctor!! what the hell is wrong with my hand?! the song i'm playing now is 'Azurite ~for luster star deianeira~' well i've finished it, but of course perfect is somewhat impossible for the time being. well for one because of my finger, and another is obviously the lack of skill. but i think i'm doing pretty well for a person who never took piano lessons. this is the song i'm playing now
by the way thats not me. yeah and that guy is really cool right? i haven't touched the piano until i saw his videos. inspiration. yes thats it. now i'm waiting for his new piece to be put on the web. check this out. sounds awesome.
well that'll be all i guess. gotta stop being nocturnal temporarily for my job. gotta reach the other side of singapore at 10. should give you a rough idea what time i have to get up.
i think i'm dying soon..

yosha! got a job! but a temporary one, sadly. but no problem! its still a few hundred bucks to pocket! why not? first time working.. wonder how it'll be like. hope nothing screws up! and hope the part time job i applied accept my application. fingers X-ed!i've been thinking.. theres something that i read on the internet not too long ago. it says that 1% of all friendships last forever. so when people say the magical 'friends forever', they're actually lying. well unknowingly of course, nothing harmful. perhaps its true. before we left primary school, the four of us promised each other, friends forever. jian jie, ben tan, nicholas and me(note: not tan kin jon). after we graduated, we met up ever so frequently to play. but as time passed, nicholas began drifting away from us. then ben slowly followed. by the end of 2003, the four great friends were reduced to just two. we struggled to make this friendship as solid as we possibly can. long chats over the phone, smses, and still frequent meetings for games and meals. but as the major exams came on, our efforts began to grow thinner and thinner. phone conversations seized. meetings became very rare and we only sms-ed each other occasionally. and now, 2007 is coming to its end. five years ago, four friends promised each other to be friends forever. and now, two promises had been broken and the last promise is hanging by a very thin line. that sets me wondering, five years later, will all these current friendships still exist? or will it just fade away into memory.
as time passes and life goes on, many great people will come and go in our lives. fortunately, quite a number will become friends. but only such a small number will become so close that we can consider them a family. but as i said, as time passes, even these friendships will fade away and these people will leave. its just a matter of time. these bonds were never meant to last forever.. even if you give it all you have to maintain it, it will eventually fade away. but maybe, just maybe, some of us might be able to keep these bonds locked together for eternity. perhaps that would be the special 1%...
all we can do is pray, pray that these bonds can hold. pray that these promises will remain unbroken until death takes it apart. if not, then just pray that may it be in future that our paths may cross again...

its past midnight. i just got home not too long ago. well, i've been mistaken. heh. prom was a blast. looks like that 70 bucks didn't go to a waste after all. no regrets no regrets.whats so fun about prom? well, i had some opportunities to create some trouble with my buddies one last time.. yep, it was really precious.
also got to see some extraordinary transformations. sufri for instance, the hair.. wow looked like a plum version of ghost rider haha! some others like Aidil just wore simple. but come to think of it, i think my dressing was the most simple and crappy. should have borrowed my brother's blazer. damn it. everyone had nice outfits but i was just wearing a simple shirt and jeans. but seriously, some girls really looked horrible. all that makeup made them look as if they got punched before coming to prom.
some other people looked really nice. aaron was pretty cool. looked like a businessman literally.. haha. ah and jie min too. new glasses. and his coat was cool. laughed my ass off when he went up stage to dance. BEE HONG! Fang Yi also looked really nice. well.. pretty to be precise. *tsk* voted her for prom queen but not chosen. ouh well, too bad i guess. but seriously she looked really nice in the dress. samuel chin had a cool outfit too. nice chain.
food wasn't exactly what i expected. appetizers were small in amount and not so 'appetizing'. the prawns were good, so i heard.. but they all vanished before i had time to snag one of em'. sad. as the following dishes came it just got more and more dull. except for the chicken cutlets. that one was nice. but as usual quantity was low. and the dessert was.. revolting. mango pudding?? that tasted like mango flavored tofu with pineapples.
well, this grand night is over. a once in a lifetime experience. feel pretty sad. those people who created countless trouble with me, those people whom i really wished to know more and of course, those faces that my knuckles still yearn for. farewell then.. until the next lifetime.
all you people i'll never forget.

a bunch of others whom i have not mentioned. of course it'll be hard to erase such memories. unless i decide to go for a brain wash which i don't deny the fact that i might. XP

well its been donkey years since i posted. hmm.. about a week to be precise. so.. what have i been up to so far? lets see. got my hands on some new anime, dusted and played my piano, applied for a job. yea, basically nothing that required the spending of paper gold. that would be money of course.lets see. its 4:20 a.m. now. in approximately 14hours and 25 mins time, Prom will commence. now theres one thing i really didn't understand. and that is why exactly did i decide to attend this Prom thing. there's nothing particular about prom. just meeting the same ol' people that were all held together in that dreadful examination hall again. perhaps the only differences are that there will be no more white and gray clothings but more flamboyant outfits. and instead of writing to the hand's limit we'll be eating to the stomach's. that sets another question. why the fish did i pay 70 precious dollars just to go to some hotel to dine with a group of people of which 70% of them are strangers to me? i could have paid 5 bucks to eat in a sea of strangers! aah yes prom.
sleepless nights. what in the world causes this? overflowing thoughts? yup, sounds logical to me. what kind of thoughts you may ask.. hehe, for that, you'll have to pay cos its private.
i'm really looking forward to a job now. my wish list is getting uncomfortably long. well perhaps i could do with some of them excluded. first of all i would very much like an external hard drive. this 160gig of internal memory is literally overflowing with my precious anime. ooouuh, look at it oozing out. oh no, all that precious ooze! *licks it up* right. another item i would really like to get is an electric, full size keyboard. i'm nuts? indeed! an electric keyboard would be nice.. i can record all my pathetic attempts to transcribe songs and listen to them. how very nice. and besides my piano has a rather piercing pitch and i just can't play it un-muffled without those assholes downstairs screaming "TIAM LAH"
collection of O level results will be in January. boy i sure can't wait. what should i do? should i enroll PJC? how about VJC? better still! NJC! haha! get the idea? yes, from what i can predict after slacking through the Os, the opportunities for me are, shit. thats right. SHIT. i don't deny the fact that i'll be retaining for another wondrous year in TSS. so *tsk* girls please don't be too surprised if you see me again next year. heh, how disgusting of me. *slap* alright, another possibility is of course, ITE. well you can rule that one out cos my ass will never belong to ITE. next, arts school! Laselle? no animations.. out. NAFA? course sounds boring. out. SAE? 12,000 bucks for a diploma equivalent to toilet paper. in or out? beats me. and of course the last possibility, NS! thats right. Lock & Load! ouh man, i can't wait for the bright and sunny future that lie ahead of me! yea right...
the word FAILURE is stamped on my ass. wanna see it?
Wednesday, November 7, 2007 . 6:37 PM
last night i stayed up to watch anime. finally get to finish another anime. the anime is Busou Renkin. this ones superb. great anime. easily one of my favorites.i'm getting frustrated. i wonder why failure seem to be all around me. these hands.. good for nothing. play a segment in a piano piece a hundred times. somehow i just cant stop it from jumping to a wrong key on its own accord. strange. almost feels like something else is controlling it. and half of my left hand has been numb for 3 months now. the frustration is immense.
the O levels are over. so i guess i'm no longer a tanglinian anymore? secondary school life. the uniforms, the classrooms, recess, PE, and all those trouble i loved getting into. its all gonna fade away into memory. well. if i could i would never leave secondary school. all that hanging out after school will be just a thing in the past. all those people whom i still wanna see, walking around school. and perhaps some unfortunate souls whom i still long to beat up. i guess the next time i will ever get to experience this again is in my next life time. heres to secondary school life. see you in hell.
now that school is over, i really dont know what i should do. get a job? i should. the type of job would be another problem. see a doctor bout this wretched hand of mine? maybe. how bout taking piano lessons again? i really want to. but would i have the time? and the money? or should i try transcribing a piano piece myself? yea i should try. cant be that bad if its my own creation. lets see. i guess i'll try euphoric field.
depressing times.. everyone's happy and excited now that Os over. why am i feeling so depressed and frustrated? i really dont get it. well like i said, depressing times. solution? get booze! wait till i get my hands on some.. i'm gonna drink till i drop dead. drink till all this sorrows are drowned in a sea of alcohol.

War Of The Papers.A soldiers Diary.
this diary never ended. the soldier who wrote this during the war was killed in action on the last day of battle.
the last entry was on 06 - 11 - 07 at 0700 hours. it read:
this is it, we've come this far, and here we stand, on the grounds that separate us from home. this is the last fight. though the enemy is numerous, i'm sure we will pull through. there isn't much time now and i have to go equip myself up.
if i don't make it through this, i wish my girl at home will keep that promise we made when i left. a promise to leave her heart broken when i'm gone so that it will never be stolen.
YueHern
this was the last entry made when it was picked up by the soldiers who made it through the day. it was known later that, the war has been won.
the promise isn't original, i got it from a song. XP

Day 18
today we began the hunt for remaining troops of the big O. intel has it that there are three groups of rebels remaining scattered around the mainland. and we're going to hunt them down, one by one until we can be sure this war is definitely over.
we were air-lifted today from U.S.A to the old fortress on the island of Venice where the Soul Society, one of the rebel groups were garrisoned. it was magnificent. the fortress, with its elegant design and fearsome structure. it was really intimidating to stand before the might of the Venetian fortress. but on second thought, those garrisoned within weren't venetians at all. they were just simple footmen with indecent combat training. how hard could it possibly get?
we were to find that out as we closed in on the fortress. as we came into firing range, their leader voiced out. he demanded proper education for their women, and of course our retreat, or they would detonate the nuclear explosives rigged all around the fortress. so they were playing suicidal traps. well seemed like this time we were up against a group of morons. so we cracked up a simple plan. i was assigned a recon task along with a few others to go round the fortress unseen, and defuse this trap. the others would face them up front and fake a negotiation. it was perfectly executed. after the trap had been defused, we went in through the back while the rest stormed through the front. but we had to take care as there were civilians who weren't involved in the war.
it didnt take long before we took the fortress. as i said, such men with indecent training and horrible tacticians were simply too easy to defeat. they were more of terrorists than rebels. well their brains seem to be but their motives weren't.
tomorrow will be the last day of this war. the final hunt for the scattered rebels will begin at 0800 hours tomorrow and i wish it will be over and done with. this war has gone on too long. and i wish to return home as soon as possible. may the gods bless us that no men should lose their lives in this final battle.

day 17
on the 2nd of november, two days ago, we landed on the shores of U.S.A after a long journey back from the mainland. upon beaching, we were strickened by horror as we saw our comrades slaughtered in a mass graveyard. everything that lay north was death and blood. no one could imagine that, having been reduced by half, U.S.A still had so much power.
everyone had their fair share of fears. the men who stayed down at U.S.A when we left had bigger numbers than what we currently are now. and if they couldn't beat them, what chance had we? but still, we marched on, northward to the enemy's base.
at 0800 hours, we arrived at the enemy's doorstep. sure enough, there were men marching out to meet us. and thus began the final decisive battle of this war. they were quick on their feet and had magnificent evasive maneuvers. however, we figured that in order to defeat them, we had to make calculations to their movements. they were specialized in using sound as an offensive weapon. but once we drew out the formulae we were literally immune to their attacks.
they were defeated without much problem. its hard to believe why our comrades who battled them before could not have beaten them. a pity to have loss so many men to such an enemy. salutations for your bravery till the very end.
now that the three powers have been eliminated, the outcome of this war was obvious. what remains is to clear the remnants of the enemy. whatever that remains that may still oppose us. rebels mostly. tomorrow we will be to one of the islands just east of the mainland. reports say that there is a group of militia garrisoned in an abandoned fortress there. looks like all there is to this wretched war is the cleaning up. i've pulled through.

Day 14
the first day of a new month. it sure gave me a good feeling about pawning more heads at war.
i arose from my bunk at a horrible time today. missed the combat briefing regarding today's fight. well i could literally say i woke up just in time to rock and roll. and so we set off towards the eastern coast of this blasted continent. when we reached the battleground, i was rather shocked at the condition of that place. just a Forsaken & Neglected piece of land, with ruins all over the place. as we roamed around this rundown piece of land noises began echoing around us. noises that sounded familiarly like the beeping sounds of a microwave oven.
indeed there were reasons why these lands were so neglected. from the many ruins shapes began emerging. shapes that resemble that of a human but not human. humanoid as they are called i believe. as we got a clearer picture of this 'horde', we were utterly freaked out. they looked too much like human but were simply too white to be human. some were literally translucent. the weapons they wield however were exactly the ones we were using. then it hit me, perhaps these freaks WERE human? if so, what in the name of shit happened to them? a little too late for thoughts as the first shots were fired. ducking behind some of the ruins we fanned out, scattering ourselves so as to reduce target area. indeed we do know how to counter our own weapons. what kind of soldiers would we be if we didnt?
as the freaks of nature steadily advanced, we peppered them with a barrage of lead. but it seemed like bullets were of no significant effect on them. they were taking the bullets as if their whole body were made of kevlar. if ballistics wouldn't kill them, what would? then one of our men lobbed in a Little Pete. a phosphorus grenade which combusts upon impact causing a huge fireball. to our surprise, those humanoid creatures began to... melt? their bodies slowly turned into a sticky brown substance. so it looked as if the person who threw the Little Pete unknowingly gave us the answer to combat this zombie like creatures.
so the answer was simple. burn them. good thing we salvaged some flamethrowers from the bunker at China. and so we burned the whole horde of them. it really was just too simple. their mentality was a little distorted i guess. we later found out that those were humans. they were mutated somehow and manipulated to go against their own kind. sick propagandists.
we got word from headquarters that the fight back at U.S.A had been loss. we were ordered back there to finish up what is left of them. they must be a lot stronger than we anticipated. tomorrow will decide the flow of this whole war. once the three powers are eliminated, the war is likely to be over in our favor.
