awright. what a night. first off, the dream theater concert! it was da bomb man.

drummer mike portnoy showed he had it man. he made drumming seem so bloody easy. with his various antics of standing up drumming, drumming with one hand and scratching his head or waving about his other hand and stick, or throwing and doing hat tricks with his drumming stick, or throwing sticks into the audience to grab, he was the show to watch, not to mention his insane drumming.

the effects with which keyboardist jordon rudess could achieve his various instruments was way cool. from pipe organ to piano to electric guitar, he sounded as if he was really playing all those instruments at once. freaky shit.

so that was the concert yeah, it rocked the house, head-banging and all. after that took cab down to club at pavillion, where mishap and circumstance forced us to change venue to chinablack. had fun, danced and joked around with tappy, soph, rach, ben, sean and chris. ok stuff la, though went home feeling a lil down. but hey, it's chinese new year man, gong xi fa cai? hong bao na lai? heh.


happy lunar new year everyone.

some things never change, not even for the better. sucks yeah.

well. days go by. and i'm not accomplishing anything. not doing any sports (running don't count). not even practicing guitar for the moment. and what did i just do? i just entered into pido's team for a dota competiton. heh, i feel even more useless now.


passed a conflagaration burning at a dump on the way home. i love the way the flame roars and licks the darkness around it. it's almost like a beast you know? straining to gobble everything up in flames. but there's something, hypnotic about the huge blaze...


i guess i can finally say this huh. i deleted all messages from my phone. new year, new start. whatever good that was inside my phone has passed anyway, no point clinging unto the past. easier said than done.


and i left my pokemon with gughan. smart, now nothing to do except starcraft and psp. shit. feel like shit.

hAPPY nEW yEAR people!


alright man. new year. i don't really feel any different, i spent the night at home doing midnight prayers while all my friends were outside partying away. sigh, sucks eh? BUT. started it on a good note i guess, after prayers i swindled my dad out of 20 bucks playing blackjack. which was good. lol.


met sanjay and tze wei and his classmate for a jamming session today. it was fun! haha we play quite well, only some rhythm synchronisation problems initially and the fact that tze and i totally. cannot. sing. we're on the lookout for a singer! come talk to any of us if you're interested k? don't worry about the playing aspect, we're pros. *grin* just need a good voice to supplement.

and after that at night, went for some dota on the spur of the moment. tze and his classmate vs me and sanjay. haha raped ass! i randomed lion, heh heh. those of you who know what heroes i use, you know what to expect. later, we 4 joined up to play a 5 v 5 against pubs. haha, it was a tough fight, but my lycan prevailed. end score 28-9. 1 heart, 3 bashers 1 power treads and 1 mask of madness. so tonight ruled too!

thanks to all those who bothered to sms me happy new year! jean simon krishnan sophie man yun cheryl ravi. love you guys, good luck in whatever you decide to dabble in this year.


it's been a hellavu JC life, and 2005 as well. let's see, failed most major exams, barely got through council. 3 crushes. 2 expeditions. 1 overseas community service trip. i'm glad that the As are over... but i'm afraid for the mess i made out of it. i'll miss the corridors of the school. mass pe. the school events. doing sai kang. organising elaborate plans of attack to wassup people. getting wassuped myself. painting banners. running. soccer. hanging around in school. obsessions with dota. the high school drama that is. the soap opera that is part of my life. the good teachers. the bad ones. the copying across classes. the information stolen about tests from other classes who already took it earlier in the day. the good friends. the enemies. the forgotten ones. the politics, both in class and council. the crazy stuff we did. orientation. rockafella. night study. when we don't really study at all, but talk dota, talk incessantly, and look out for hot chicks. macdonalds study sessions, which weren't really study sessions at all but preludes to LAN. the stupid chicken little dragostea din tei playing in the background every 5 mins. learning how to network. learning how to interact with girls, after 4 years in monk school. the bright blue uniform that was my spezial one that made me look enlightened by above in a sea of dull blue. the horror and nervousness when you find out you're supposed to do the school pledge during morning assembly, in front of 1600 plus students. (i never screwed it up once! haha, unlike miah: "we the citizens of singapore pledge ourselves at all times..." and gughan "pledge ourselves as one united kingdom")


yes, those memories, and more. it's been a rollercoaster ride up and down. and my close friends will know. lemme take the opportunity to thank you, for being there and staying by my side despite idiosyncrises, despite tantrums, despite depression, and despite craziness. keep in touch, and may 2006 bring another same interesting year.
