Weekend Crush
What a packed weekend it had been. I had a rather freaking retarded Saturday morning(Don't ask me why...) and the usual gathering at GameScore in the afternoon. I was surprised about how many people were already there. Some were running around the place for refuge from the packed shop and some were going head-to-head with ther PSP and DS games. As usual, the majority had to wait for Valentine and he came along with Sky. Sky seems to have gravity-defying hair all for a sudden... o.O
My mind was busy even though I was lazing around with my gaming friends. Till to an extent, I wasn't aware what was going on around me. I was going over what happened during the morning. Personal note: "Don't worry...it's just a sudden surge of things to do for the night later." And I think I surprised everyone with my dress code that day. Well, I must remember to pack some normal clothes along next time... ^^
We had stingray for dinner. The portions seemed to have dwindled and Cheng Yuan ordered a fish for himself as usual. Then we went to Liang Court as JL and Wenlong needed to pick up their magazines. Home...sweet...home...
I almost ended up crushing my handphone on Sunday morning. I have told my friend
NOT to call me through my handphone as he's in Japan right now and my bills ain't cheap neither. Chatting with him on Skype was a much cheaper alternative. In the afternoon, I realised it was time for some Xbox games and it was pretty not touched for a while.
Then it was time to join them for Eugene's birthday outing at Ju Ju Hokkaido. Turned out that he had a sudden increase of his own personal friends for the outing, thus the rest of us went to Edo Sushi for a cheaper alternative as there were not enough seats. There, I did the greatest mistake in my life. Erm...I...ordered...Sukiyaki....and didn't...realise...it...was...beef... -_-"
OMG!!! I HAVE SINNED!!! I ATE BEEF!!!Well, the actual fact is that my religion doesn't restrict me in eating but I avoided the meat under that impression that I can't take beef. I really felt very uneasy after finishing it. Another thing is that Sukiyaki is
shoyu based and I didn't like it. Too salty for me. After dinner, we went to Plaza Singapura for some arcade fun. I enjoyed playing Taiko No Taitsujin 5 with Kane and JL was busy with his Wangan Maximum Tune 2. At the last minute, I decided not to send Valentine off at the airport due to the majority's protests. But the gang and me still sent him our regards.
Bon voyage and take care, Valentine! See you around in 3 weeks!Labels: Life

Ouch!
Well, I spent about almost half an hour typing and spellcheck this entry...due to an injured right arm and wrist. Today, I had the sudden urge to go to the nearest park and learnt to rollerblade. Seriously, I was using my experience on ice-skating on it and it seems to be totally different. I had a bad fall. I landed on my right side and my right arm got bruised and scratched. I think I hitted my right wrist against the railing too.
Something wonderful happened today luckily. It would soon set course a series of events or benefits for me. Finally, it's getting back on course. But there's still some cleaning up to be done.
The weekends are coming. A birthday outing on Sun. The usuals on Sat. A meeting later. Oh, not to mention the league on Sat.
Cool, this just came in. A letter from Margaret. A friend of mine in Indonesia. Seems like she's getting married(Ouch...) and I sent her my best wishes. I remembered that she told me about angels in the past and once claimed she saw a set of wings behind me in her daze. Looked like the dream I had. Well, she's Christian, believes in angels and even thought I was one. Maybe those strange things that happened to me in school. Whatever... ^^

Busted!
It was quite a hectic Sunday for me. I forgot to take my "brunch" and went to GameScore. JL and Thomas were there, both playing Phantom Kingdom and Digital Devil Saga respectively. Well, it turned out my trip was infutile as Thomas wanted my game save for Onimusha 3 and I only have the Japanese version. ^^" Talked to JL for a while then was on the way to China Square.
Along the way to Funan, Valentine asked me to join him for a trip to China Square. For those who are into collectibles and vintage toys, China Square has become the next "The Arcade @ Clarke Quay". Most of the shops that were in Clarke Quay moved over there. Well, Valentine was looking for the Full Metal Alchemist Chimakore Collection 2 and Bleach Chimakore Collection. We went to the Goober Toys stall and found the FMA gashapons while the Bleach gashapons were out of stock. Then Valentine decided to go to La Tendo(-_-") to try his luck there. There, he got what he wanted and bought 3 sets pf gashapons. The La tendo staffs were having high tea...well munching Rotiboy breads(Erm...the whole shop full of coffee scent...). We had the infamous Fried Wanton Mee for dinner there and talked about matters happening around the community. Well, I didn't know that Sky was actually his cousin's friend. I had always thought that they got to know each other in secondary school.
Next, we went to Takashimaya as Valentine needed to get his windbreaker for the trip to Australia. Well, we were attached to the Men Bazaar that was in Basement 2. Damn, it was also the last day and we wished we knew about it earlier. Valentine went on a shopping spree and got himself 4 U2's long-sleeved shirts and a Timberland jacket. He spent a while trying and asking for my opinions. I also got myself a cheap long-sleeved shirt($9!). Then we went to Level 4 to look at his windbreaker. He got himself a full set of New Balance windbreaker and pants. But here's the embarrasing part, his cards were declined as he busted his account balance by buying the shirts below. Luckily, the staffs were kind enough to keep the items for him till he goes back today to pick them up. We were shocked over what happened. I always thought he has a "bottomless" bank account...LOL... :P
Back at home, I was tired and had a headache. After popping in a Panadol tablet, I went to sleep. A boring ending to this entry right? LOL! (^^,)>>

Dreams...
I have always wondered why do we have dreams or even nightmares. Well, I can say I don't have nightmares much but just strange dreams. Dreams that have totally no relations to me at all. The funny thing about dreams is that you wouldn't be able to remember what happened much. People say that dreams can foretell what's going to happen in the future or just an memory flashback that went abnormal. Some even say that dreams are the mirrors of reality...in other words, what you dreamt could be the reverse of what happened in real life.
This dream I had last night was like the usual strange dreams I had but tends to be more..."realistic" and I could remember what happened. It started out of me in total darkness. There was not a single trace of light at all. I couldn't see what was ahead of me but I walked around in that darkness. Then I sensed of a familiar aura behind me.(
Yes....my "6th sense" acting up in a dream...) I started to turn back but before I could see what's behind me, I lost all feelings with the ground. Yup....
FREEFALL......For a strange reason, I wasn't terrified over what just happened. It's more like...I was anticipating it to happen. I just kept falling and it seemed there was no end. Then I suddenly stretched out my right arm as though I was reaching out for something in the total darkness. A dot of light started to appear in the far distance. Then it grew bigger and bigger. As I get closer to the light, I could see an array of some unknown letters around the circle of light. I passed through the circle and what happened next still amazes me now.
The first thing that crossed my mind was that whether I was in Heaven. Clouds. And for a even strange reason, I wasn't falling at all but floating. I suddenly realised that I was dreaming as what happened to me so far was incredible. I even tried to force myself awake. But nothing was working. Now I started to feel a bit terrified. Clouds were around me and I didn't know what to do. Then I had the weird idea of trying to "swim" around. Moved a bit. It didn't take me for long till I got tired. My mind was thinking "Move...move..." then miraculously I moved. I stopped the moment I realised I was moving. So this was the gist here. Mindpower.
Just like Peter Pan, I started to fly around the clouds. I think I did a couple of stunts here and there. Then I decided to dive straight down to see what was below the clouds. I saw land and a massive river. I landed near the river and saw an shiny structure that looked like a castle in the distant. The river looked crystal clear from the distant and I decided to take a closer look. I realised I was also different as well. The reflection in the river showed a much fitter and darker me. And behind me was a set of pure white wings. I was sort of an angel. I was blinking my eyes at the sight then I heard someone calling out behind me.
"Huh? You're back already?"It was a female voice. I started to turn and I blinked my eyes. The moment I opened my eyes, I was awake. I looked at my ceiling for a while. Thinking that it was one of my strange dreams, I went back to sleep. I rested my arm over my stomach and it felt different. Kinda like thinner and had couple of humps on it.
The moment I woke up, I looked at myself in the mirror. Nothing different. Still the same old me. Well, it seems like a imaginary story I cooked up but then it was real. What could this dream mean?

This is my blog
It has been quite a while since I started blogging about my life. Wordpress was cool but it seems to lack the creativity element which I was looking for. Thankfully, my choice for Blogger is still the right choice.
"Blogs are sacred...""A blog is a blog afterall. You write for the sake of writing your feelings and sentiments, not joining some competition like the world's hottest blog etc..."I have heard of these words from those near me. Well...the reason I have started blogging is to basically express my opinions and emotions over an individual or an event in my daily life. For example, someone had written in his own blog in the past about his friends' neglection on him and wishes that his friends would know about how he felt. There is a high chance that such comments will be misunderstood. I always believe that in life, you can deceive others around you but you can't deceive yourself. I can just simply write a thousand words in an exercise book and keep it in my drawer. But in that way, I'm not being frank to myself or being fair to the individual, the event or even myself.
Yet, no one's perfect. Anyone can err. I can have a wrong opinion or simply misunderstand. Am I going to carry that wrong impression of an individual for the rest of my life? Am I going to feel uneasy all the while? People might think why I must bother so much. But then how will you feel when others are writing nonsense about you? Why the anger? Talking about this, I will like to express my sincere apologies to all those who had been offended by my actions and words.
I am sorry.Now talking about the cheerful stuffs, I'm surprised that there are royal fans who don't fail to visit my blog almost everyday and even 6am in the morning. Well, please do leave your opinions and comments.
P.S: I know my comments are down but please try and use the tagboard or contact me personally. ^^Labels: Life

The Balance
It was quite a surprise for me today. I got a call from my friends to go out for a chat. Well, I supposed it's the usual pool-dinner thing. It was a surprise to see a hell lot of them. Actually, a couple of my friends just recently got their driving licenses and they were celebrating. We updated each other on our lives and had dinner.
Well, they did showed concern about the fix I got into recently. Some gave pretty biased opinions, some were quite rash
(Erm...AhSiaKia...) and some gave some enlightening advices. Thanks to those who offered to settle for me but I don't want to make use of them to achieve what I want. I have to thank them for letting me feel at ease. It's quite pleasant that my personal friends still stand by me. Well, that doesn't mean the rest don't.
I have to confess that my mind was pretty messed up these week as Qing Ming was coming. I did stupid things and shit happened. Oh well, looks like it's time.

Turbulence
Today's a pretty upsetting day for me. Other than the unwanted dispute going on, I was faced with the event I dread annually. Well, Qing Ming is here. Time to visit mom.
Time really passes. So fast that I thought I saw her pass away yesterday. It has been 6 years since I swore never to step into the General Hospital. Every year, I never fail to end up drowning myself in tears.
In the past, I took her for granted and demanded freedom which the other children were entitled. I actually thought of her being an unreasonable figure in the family.
Why can I join them for basketball? Why can't I go out and play? Why...why... These thoughts were on my mind then. Being the only son, she have to protect me from the dangers of the outside world.
Seriously, I feel pretty messed up now. I hope I will be fine the next day.

Sing, Sing, Sing
Yesterday, I made my first debut at K-Box. The place's pretty cool and the customer service standard is similar to the ones in Japan. What's more surprising is that Gabriel is working at the Cineleisure branch. He's wearing contacts now. Well my friends have quite an amusing experience with him. For me, I had the experience of overworking my throat. Tired... I also met a friend from secondary school with his girlfriend. He was a fit person then but still is except he has a round tummy. He really looks like a gourd. Seriously, he looks fit except that tummy....
But my appearance there wasn't as expected. Or in fact it was unwanted by someone. Personally, I will love a challenge occasionally. I met up with one of them. Luckily, he was indeed a friend. Although he was told to lie to me, he didn't. He told me what was happening. He was very matured for a 22 year old.
Sometimes, people tend to make foolish mistakes. In order not to disappoint one, you will tend to disappoint another. Actually, I wouldn't have taken this into heart but due to someone's poor way of dealing this incident, it was a need. For this case, I hope it was really to prevent any more bad blood.
