vitagen and ribena //part 2//

okay so here is part 2. as with all dreams, i magically appeared in my house. my family was here, except for my sis, since she's on her mission. BTW she's doing super good :) tonsa progress!!

so there was this gathering under the void deck against the 6.9million problem here. White Paper as many would call it. there was like a "party(?)" going on at the carpark between my block and the neighbouring block.

*im not tooo knowledgeable about local events, so pardon me if some statements are not correct*

so people were performing for who knows why, but they were all locals. or at least they seemed to be. malays, chinese, indians, sorry no eurasians ah. at least i didnt see them ah. maybe they sleeping at home. lol. anyway. we all went downstairs to watch, and since there were chairs, we each grabbed a seat for ourselves. then came this martial artist. oh btw, kor and i we wearing some ridiculous-looking chinese outfit. it was screaming "IM A CHINESE" anywhere you looked. the design was just like that. lol.

then so this guy started to exhibit slow soft shadow-boxing. something not very impressive ah, until i started to think about it. anyway, he had a lot of control. after like 1-2minutes, a group of 4 people wearing white-pink chinese tuxes or whatever you call them. im too lazy to google!! so they approached that shadow-boxing and started to push him around. bad on my part, i started to snigger a bit.

like seriously, 4 fellas picking a fight on one guy. childish or not sia. anyway. in a short moment, he took all four of them down. that moment, i started laughing. i always like to see the end result of a fight where the aggressor drops onto the floor.

NEVER START FIGHTS OKAY PEOPLE. END FIGHTS, DONT START THEM.

then more of the chinese dudes started coming in, trying to down that one man. thrusting back kicks, roundhouse kicks that slam the opponent's face to the ground, sweeps, punches to the stomach, dude this guy was becoming my idol. as the opponents continued to pile in, soon he was overwhelmed and fell to the ground. i wasnt shocked. one person, no matter how good he is, most likely would fall when he is overwhelmed. not many can handle large crowds. not me, at least, definitely. so i smiled, and walked to the crowd, while beckoning my brother to join me as well as i glanced back at where my family was seated. then the moment i reached the crowd, i saw the chinese dudes high5-ing that idol of mine.

DANGIT IT WAS A SKIT.

my smile of glee turned into a ridiculous smile of embarrassment. walking back to my seat, i saw that my brother never left his chair at all. so he knew that it was a skit and never told me.

that brother ah. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.

end of part 2 of my dream. i woke up feeling so warm. the fan in the room wasnt on. when i remember turning it on during the night -.- kesian ah.

vitagen and ribena //part 1//

OKAY first time writing a post on the laptop. i expect the paragraphing to be better than the previous posts. lol.

okay so i had 2 dreams last night!! the first was kinda funny, the second was kinda retarded but chill lol.

first one
i was in a multi-level building. vaguely seemed to be like 40-60stories high above ground. a large conference hall (like the one used for General Conference for the LDS Church) was at the bottom of the building, which was like 20 floors below ground level. however it was no ordinary conference hall. why? i'll explain later.

my partner and i plus this other dude picked up a total of 5 snakes from another team who were already in the building. i held 2, my partner held 2, and the guy that we picked up (i dont know his name, so lets just call him vitagen hahhahaa) held 1. the snakes that i was holding were really short. they seemed young, judging from the body length, but they were FAT. so. i didnt bother to actually ask for the age. the longer of the 2, which was maybe 40cm, was on my left hand, the other, (this one had a prominent head, and an in-proportionate body length) on my right. we had to take the snakes that we were handling down to the conference hall in one of the basement levels. my partner (i also dont know his name so lets just call him ribena) called for the lift, and in we went.

and while we were going down to the basement conference hall, vitagen was asking about the facility. so ribena talked about this and that, and then some time later we arrived at the floor that we needed to get off.
during this time, the snake on my left was swinging itself around my arm, and the snake on the right was just chillin. lol.

soon, we arrived at the desired floor somewhere underground, and then we got off the lift. it was a loooooooooooooooooooong walkway that stretched to our left and right. in front, but more to the left upon exiting the lift, were two doors (one of course further away than the other). and so vitagen was asking "wait so how many of them are in that room?" i was thinking like //dude firstly, its not a room, and second, be ready to be surprised//. hahahhahaa. feeling impressed with myself or who knows what, i opened the door closer to us and then dropped the snakes that i was holding into the "room".

*DISCLAIMER: DO NOT DROP SNAKES IF YOU EVER HOLD ONE. ITS NOT NICE. and who knows, maybe the snake will get angry and hate you forever. so dont drop a snake!! or throw it!! its not a baby!!*


-this is the part where it sort of links to a dream that i had quite some time back-

 without even glancing, an image flashed into my mind. an image where a few hundred thousand snakes were all slithering across the conference hall, of which all the chairs and furniture had been removed long before. its a WEIRD snake holding facility where there are no enclosures for the snakes to be held in. the only enclosure was the building itself and the "conference hall". yeah in case you didnt know, THAT IS WEIRD. its a crazy big enclosure which no organisation would build. EVER. i know because its SUPER EXPENSIVE and it would never turn into a zoo. no profit anywhere.

so after the dropped the two snakes that i was holding, vitagen was so shocked he exclaimed in surprise. he was like "oh mama" or something like that. they in turn placed the snakes that they (ribena and vitagen) were holding (i dont remember this part clearly) into the conference hall then we left for the lift.

while walking, somehow we started talking about how in case this building stops working because of an electrical fault, how long would it take for anybody on the lowest floor to reach the ground level. they started talking about oxygen levels and blahblahblah, all of which of course wasnt relevant. its only 20floors man. just walk up!! anyway. they (somehow) reached a conclusion that it would take a person 10hours to get to the ground floor. i was like //WHAT THE HECK YOU TAKE 10HOURS TO CLIMB 20FLOORS??? WHO ON EARTH TAKES SO LONG?!??!?! EVEN A BABY CRAWLS FASTER THAN YOU SIA//

so yeah. thats the end of part 1 of my dream. lol. is it long...?

ohoh i know. i'll post part 2 in another post.

-notitle-

Well. Last night was pretty interesting. Stake choir, and then i had my flute piece....kind messy on that one. Still needa practice more. BUT ITS MUCH BETTER NOW. i downloaded the vocal ver with instruments...think ive got the timing right already. But needa thank ying er and shuan for helping me out so much.

Then i spent an hour at night talking to mom about marriage lol. Supposed to be sleeping but i was on the phone then she caught me. I asked her a question thats been on my mind for quite some time already so it turned out well. Learned a lot of stuff last night :)

EXAM TODAY WAS KINDA GOOD. Last paper on wedneaday, then itp starts on the coming week. Attached to nus. Wonder what ima do...

poetry. poverty.

im afraid of the things that i dont know that im even afraid of.
certainly uncertain, and permanently temporal.

seems like as if i dont care about myself enough.
seems like i dont care about myself enough.
seems like i dont care about myself.
seems like i care about myself.
seems like.

how can you help someone be happy when you're not happy yourself?
how do you ease a worried mind with trembling hands?

Sometimes.

Sometimes, i wish that it were true.
Sometimes, im glad it wasnt true.
Sometimes, i just wanna jump out to space, away from all this.
Sometimes, i just wanna have wings.
Sometimes, i wish i had more freedom.
Sometimes, i wish i could quit school.
Sometimes, i wish there were no worries.
Sometimes, i wish there was more peace and harmony.
Sometimes, i wish it were you.

But sometimes, im just glad im alive.

i cant help it.

i cant help but to do some advertisement for myself.
some of you, or many of you, know that i take pictures for events in singapore. concerts, mainly.
and recently, Miss A, the first group that i covered, came back again on the 16th of Feb. just 3 days ago.
and i covered it *unofficially*. but here are the pictures anyway!!

hehe!!
:3

jumbly.

its like as if something is missing.
something big.
its like an impending tsunami, a looming hurricane, both seconds away.
but i just cant place it.

anyway. today was a great day at the beginning. woke up at 7.30am, went to school, went up to class, only to realise that class is cancelled. then went to spectrum to mug, ended up watching running man episode 17. i know, im lagging really badly. tried to squeeze in one practice paper for that china man's Biomedical Instrumentation module. failed terribly. then went up to T1543 to mug with the others from class. then tio chase out cuz got class. then went to T1555 or dunno what room lah. the last CAD room in along the corridor. then went down to spectrum again to see harlem shake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z59QR3LfGY). but i left school already by the time they started.

it was planned to start at 1230hrs, i left at 1300hrs. i had that feeling that they'd start only at 1330hrs. and guessed right. the dude called SGkid on twitter confirmed it for me. he/she's from SP. so yeah. dunno which year. not gonna find out either.

so i left early, at 1300hrs, met claire at dover mrt then went out for lunch at astons. steady sia. eat until wanna die. lol. no instagram only hahahhahaa!!

then come home super tired, dunno why. finished up the suzy episode and then by that time was already closing in on 1800hrs, so i left for institute with kor. had lohei after that. eat until wanna die again. went home, then here i am.

but i still feel horrible. not the 'sick' kind of physical horrible, but its mentally horrible. its like 'as if i know that ima die soon' kind of horrible. not fun at all sia.

stupid of me to stay up till now. its 0149hrs now. wanna but hair tomorrow then get ready for sunday since its sunday duh. then go for interview or dunno what thing with pres lai. scared sia.

losing yourself is scary.

Give people like me a chance.

Soooooo. I participated in a bid for an iPod Nano 16GB. Cheap of me? Yes. But who cares, i dont spend money like as if i had a lot of it. Not that i do, anyway.

Im still considering whether i should stop bidding or not. AND YES AS IM TYPING THIS THE BUDDING IS STILL ON HAHHAHAHA. 1.5mins left before closure...so, i have my reasons to continue or not

CONTINUE BIDDING
I get an ipod, of course...
Its brand new

Lol okay at the very last second, it jump up to 14minutes before closure. I shall explain further later.

-cont
Its something is optimised for music. I dont really care for video.
It wouls be my first time winning something from a bid.
My very first apple product bought with my own money.
Cuz i dont shop often.

STOP BIDDING
i miiiiiight be getting an iPod Touch. 32GB for $150. Its second hand. But its not confirmed yet.
I've bought second hand stuff before and im cool with it. Its called saving money.
Im gettibg tired.
Online bidding is STRESSFUL.
Because of super kiasu (imo) people who set their autobidders
ON and never leave lobang for people like me.

And this is where i explain what autobidding is.
Its really simple. You set the autobid ON, and the computer bids FOR YOU at the last few moments. How often does it bid? Well, as long as it is within your set constraints. So its like a conversation:
ME: OI COMPUTER.
PC:  yes?
ME: within this price range ah (input price range), help me bid hor. If that bugger bid also right, you bid one more time. And keep doing that until the system tells you to stop. Boleh?
PC: yes.

Sounds normal? Yes? Thats because you havent heard the full story.

Bidding requires tokens, which can only be gotten by purchasing them from the website. NOT FACEBOOK TOKENS AH. so you buy the tokens on the website. Each bid consumes a token. Autobids use a token per bid. So theres been a few people who use autobidding on this sale. They set their autobid range sooooo wide, that whenever the bid is closing, the computer helps them to bid. Thata exactly the problem. With a wide range of constraints (meaning that as long as the price of the item is within your quoted range, your autobidder will bid for you), their autobidder bids like as if theres no tomorrow.

With so many bids, a lot of tokens will be consumed in the process. And if you recall, tokens can only be purchased. So i was wondering, if they can spend so much money on tokens, why not buy the product itself? And give other consumers (such as myself, among the many others) to win something from the bidding?

I dont know, i just find it kind of selfish. Bidding is risky business. And its stressful too. For me, at least.

So yeah. In case you didnt know, i DID buy tokens, after much deliberation. I bought 25 for $18.75. My heart sank when i pressed the "Confirm purchase" button. And it continued to sink every time i clicked on the "BID" button.

No i didnt use up all the 25 tokens. I used like 6 of them. If you do thr nath, each token is 75¢. Multiply that by 6, i've spent $4.50 while bidding.

To cut the whole story short, im on my bed now writing this post. I stopped bidding.

And my heart sank once again when i closed the bidding window.

Goodnight, and Happy Valentine's Day to me, and you.

I wish i couldnt think.

During the SPSMAE LEAPS Foundation 2012 camp, we learned about the 7 Habits of successful teenagers. One of which was to "begin with the end in mind". Somehow, this Habit has stuck with me the most in my mind, though it never really works out.

Maybe its because im afraid of it.afraid that id be manipulating my mind, toying with it. Being a person who thinks a tad more than the average, its probably a bit more worrisome than many other things, due to the fact that i always imagine up how certain events would unfold. So, if i begin with many many endings in mind, id probably go crazy.

Which i already might be.

But nonetheless!! Things will be as they should be when they are to be. Its something that cant be denied nor opposed.

Anyway. Combined Sacrament with the Toa Payoh ward today, and i was kinda surprised. I expected so many more people. But oh well, i was kinda nervous, since i blessed the Sacrament with Ivan with soooooooo many people around. Quite a number of people came late too....

Flow

Well, life is sure tough.
Especially when youre trying so hard to be someone better each day.

Tough times dont last, tough people do.

This week has been a crazy one for me. Now that its pretty much over, i'll just be looking forward to the coming week i guess. I'd do all my 2D drawings again for db, along with the other stuff in my TTD list.

Anyway. Its kinda late right now, im quite awake, cant sleep, so i decided to post this up. My head's just too tired to do n#ㅎ

My bad, that was this morning. Like, 1am or so.

I AM FULLY AWAKE NOW!! Hahahh. Anyway, today's been a weird day. Like really weird. Nothing weird happened, but it just feels weird. Did some school work in the morning, chilled till now, and then im tryna get back to work now.

No school on monday through wednesday, ending late on thursday, then friday ends at 12pm. After, is it the exam period already? Probably. I dont wanna count. It makes me worried. Im just not the smart smart kinda person, as much as i wanna be.

ANYWAY. Its kinda hard to fix some stuff in my blog. Like...the header right, theres WAYYY too much space between the top and the bottom. So. Yucks. Cant be bothered to check out if i can fix it or not.

I'll be posting from my phone, so expect some typos.

Life sure is hard, and growing up too. But this too, shall pass, as everything else before this has.

It is the natural tendency of all life and events to carry on.

But theres just so much on my mind.

Genesis.

So.
First post.
Its been years since i've had something called a blog. Back when i was in primary school. So its been at least 5-6years i guess.

Anyway, i was concerned about how the blog woukd turn out,  especially the background, so i didnt many any entries. Plus ive been super busy this week. Exams and tests. Horrible stuff.  Never likes them one bit.

Anyway i dont know how often i am gonna update this thingy. Depends on how much happens in my life i guess. And how much i think. Anywaym exam tomorrow. Theory and lab test. I think almost half of my class is so dead for the theory paper.

After all, we went to seoul garden for lunch using the class budget. Faster gimme back my money leyh.

Anyway. I cant wait for tomorrow to end. I would have so much more time on my hands.

Stake choir practice on sunday, mon-wed no school, thurs half day i guess. Friday too. And them im seeing you on thursday and sunday. Not tbis subday but thr next one, cuz this week cny week mah. So no choir.

Plus they should tell me if im playing the flute for whatever scores they need help with.

Okay. Goodnight.
