Time, But A Curve In Space
Okay my apologies. I did not prepare any year end entry.So i’m just gonna do this on the spot.
 
I definitely can’t say that 2009 has been a great year.Heck,i can’t even say it’s been a normal year.It’s been really really really depressing from March til now.It’s been crazy,a wreck,and all messed up,right to the final hours of the year.Throughout the year i was searching for answers for my existence.I found out that i was invisible almost everytime,i found out how selfish i can be.But yet,i found out friends who are true to me.I shall dedicate a paragraph to them each later.
 
The main highlight for this year,despite the shallow hills of happiness and the deep deep valleys of depression,has to be my friends.I know i keep talking about friendships for the past year or so,but it’s only this year that i realise how important they really are.I have to admit i was preaching with an empty heart during the previous years.But know,i can say all this sincerely,for despite my depression and the coldness of my heart,i still felt warm sincere love.
 
Many a times i felt really lost,lonely,cold in this world.I know people try to help once in awhile,but i can tell they just want to help for the sake of helping.If i say,’No thank you’,they’ll just gladly go away.But i have to say a huge thank you to the friends who really stick by me at all times.I wrote in all of your notes already for xmas.
 
Angie Bong,ever since you left for long periods of time last September (if i can recall,haha),the neighbourhood has been really really quiet.There was no longer a bubbly lively girl living next to me who would call me out randomly and go Icekimo randomly as well.Well i guess it’s true that absence makes the heart grow fonder eh.I always feel glad whenever you return,even if it’s only for 10days.Thanks for listening to me and my problems and all.Even though you can’t be physically here for me all the time,i appreciate all your kind words and all.Thanks.
 
There WERE days that really made me feel better,and i really treasure those days til the end of my life.It’s mostly the days where i have heart to heart talks with friends.Geri especially.Our talk in March was really a turning point in my life.It was during Good Friday.Even with people like Julian,Isabel,Angie amongst a few more.These conversations really lifted me up a little.
 
Gabriel Quek,i know you’re really busy with NS and the shifting to CCK and all,but you’re someone who stays true to friendships.We all have our own problems and i really appreciate it,even when you just simply attempt to understand my problems.Like i said,we just have to be more optimistic about life and stuff.If we keep viewing things with a cloud above our heads,we will never go far.I can really tell you’re sincere about this friendship and wanting to bond even more.Well i really hope we can get to know each other too in the near future.Though we rarely talk these days,you’re someone i really treasure.
 
There were other people who changed my life as well,whether they knew it or not.And ironically these are not friends whom i’ve only met this year,but friends whom i’ve known for at least a year,and they really come in to help me.You can call them unexpected friends,i call them God’s blessing.The thing is,sometimes we are so caught up in the moment,we just focus on the few friends that center our lives during that moments that we forget all the other friends around us and the friendship drifts.Talk to them again,and you never know,sometimes these friends really stick by you no matter what.It’s quite insane,but it’s really touching.
 
Cassandra Kaitlin Tang Wankit.Kite flying was really fun,Quite retarded,but stupidly fun.Anyway,while Geri was always the one standing by me,you were the first person to actually help me.It was during March,remember?I was working at MOE,you were working somewhere in the south at a boring office job.I think your life changed quite a bit too right,comparing March til now.But anyway,we just suddenly got so close this year.And thanks!Thanks for the pie that night too,unfortunately the leftovers which i dumped in the fridge got mouldy after a few weeks and i had to throw it away.So yea,thanks again Mum! 😀
 
One siginificant event this year,i must say,is the recording of my demo.8 songs,4 guest vocalists,it was really something new and refreshing.I thoroughly enjoyed myself and all.It’s actually the only good thing this year that i will carry on to the following year,2010.Really awesome stuffs.
 
Chun Ming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Haha i’m talking to you on msn right now as i’m typing this.Hmm,i know we’ve been close since year2 already,but i really want to thank you for pushing me,whether i fail or not.I’ve lost interest in architecture already and will probably do something else in uni.But still,thanks for all the motivation,inspiration and all.I know last year’s new year’s eve was a heartbreak day for you and all,so i hope this year will be a great great one though you’re simply hiding at home yea!Do know that no matter what happens in the future for both of us,we’ll always keep in contact.Thanks for the tshirt from Australia.It matched the beanie i told you about.Haha.Help me send my Christmas and New Year regards to Kristal.
 
There are so so so many more other people,and thanks.Thanks Marianne Chan,i certainly have not forgotten you.Thanks Andrew Lau,your words on the xmas card are strong and they really touched me.Thanks Brandon Mak,Claire,Christine Tan and Keat Ling for being so supportive and all in school!Thanks Dorothy my cookie,for always being so optimistic and always cheering me up,whether you know it or not.I’m the cookie!Thanks Julian,for the friendship.Thanks Isabel,for keeping in touch.Thanks Christine Leow,for the Sherlock Holmes movie today and the day out shopping for headphones and all.Damn fun.Thanks Nicole Siew!Thanks for everything.Thanks Regina Grace,i remembered last year’s new years eve we were on msn having a rather sombre conversation,hope this coming year will be bright for you!!!!So many more to thank.Just thanks everyone.
 
Thanks Geraldine Seah Xiu Qing.All has been said already.There is no need for more words here,don’t you think?:D Let’s just stay true to this friendship.
 
I will be a happier person next year.
I will be more selfless next year.
I will love more freely next year.
I will live next year.
 
An hour left!May everyone have a great coming new year okay?May the Lord bless you and keep you.
 
2009 has been shitty,down the dustbin you go!I won’t exactly embrace 2010,but i hope for change,not the Obama kind of change,just nice change.
 
Toodles guys! 😀

2-1

2-1
It was certainly a hard fought victory,but the match certainly showed Chelsea’s perseverance as a team.A goal down just after 4 minutes,they really fought hard and deserved the turnaround at the 70something minute.I really hope they will go back to winning ways real soon.It’s been a Dreary December month for them.Onto Inter Milan now.Abit scared for that match.
 
Photos from Nat’s party!Toodles.

Just How Much It Means
Sometimes i receive gifts and just go ‘okay……’ especially when the giver gets a little hyped up over that gift.Sometimes my expectations for gifts are too high i feel.But i have to understand that while it may not mean as much to me,it means a lot to the other party,and i just have to appreciate his/her efforts to get me that gift.It is after all,representative how much important we are to each other,the fact that we receive gifts instead of nothing at all.You never know,you may go hunting for what you think is the best gift for a friend,but it may not be much to the other party.So yea,i think i over-hyped myself this Christmas.The best gifts i had are not the ones that cost the most or what,but the very sincere notes and the very sincere company i had with my best of friends,the whole bunch of them.Thanks for the notes.Thanks Andrew.Thanks Geri.Thanks to my other note writers.
 
Dear cat vacuum cleaner,how are you?I hope Geri has been using you well.Oh yea,your name is Mao Mao.I picked you out of many options i was considering as a gift for Geri.You are so cute.Quite nifty too!Hope all’s well for you in Geri’s room.
 
Dear ducky,has Nicole been playing with you?She says you are as happy as ever,i hope you really are,cos i know you can’t change your expression.But you too are so darn cute,i actually wanted to keep you for myself.I’ll see you again at camp next year!
 
Dear table lamp,i hope you are of good use to Luke.You’re the kind of gift he will appreciate and i hope i am right. 😀
 
Dear turtle,where have you gone?Why aren’t you at Crystal’s home?Don’t worry,i will find you one day!
 
I hope my other gifts are doing just fine.
 
15
31st of December is Natalie’s 15th birthday,so she celebrated her birthday early by having a party at her place yesterday.A group of Fuellers as well as her school mates dropped by.The crowd was fun,the games were fun and i never knew i was so good at charades.Heh!When the majority of the crowd left,we too settled down into random conversaions and i’m glad i got to know a few of my friends better.There was also a party at Alex’s place last night.While i wasn’t invited,i knew that i would have a better time at Nat’s anyway.Going there might confuse my heart.Nat’s really fun and easy to talk to.Ah well.The pasta there was good there.Drool guys,DROOOOL!!!!I was the last to leave at midnight,i kinda got chased out haha.Bumped into Angie on the way back.What a nice way to end the day.Will have some pictures up soon.
 
There was also a party the previous night at Geri’s.But…….yea.Nvm.It wasn’t bad,but i wished i could talk to someone more in person rather than via warm fuzzys and xmas notes.
 
Treasure your friends.Toodles.

Merry Christmas 2009!

I think my best gifts were from Andrew and Julian.Andrew gave me a beanie.Julian frikcin gave me a set of 6string bass strings.THANKS SO MUCH!I shall go Yamaha one day as either Simon or Samuel to change strings for me.Heh heh.
 
Looking at last year’s xmas and this year’s xmas,it’s really funny to see us one year and ago and now.Really sweet feeling as well.I really love choir.I think best note goes to Andrew.Thanks man.

The Night Is Cursed

The Night Is Cursed
I’m very angry with myself.Why do i always get pissed off when i’m with the choir at night?It pisses me off that i bought something for you and i feel angry cos of you though it really isn’t your fault but mine.
 
Girls.I hate girls.I don’t get them.Well,most of them.But then again i don’t get guys too,so i’m pretty much screwed.Should become a priest.Ah,but Stacie really made me feel better last night though.She’s quite a priceless friend to have lah.
 
Tomorrow’s gonna be final carolling engagement,might do some christmas shopping after that as well.
 
I try really hard to be a good friend,especially to some people.Maybe i’m trying too hard.I know i’m very selfish and all and i’m trying to change that.So what could be useful is a little bit of optimism.Thanks.

In Coffee City We Borrowed Heaven
I know i’m not the most important person,nor the person whom you look at often,nor that reassuring friend of yours,nor that special friend that makes you a little happy inside.But that’s what you are to me,and i shall keep feeling so,for it makes me happy.
 
It’s been ages since i’ve blogged just about everyday.But seriously,i’m in love with The Corrs all over again!Say a temporary goodbye to Dream Theater,Diablo Swing Orchestra,Theatre of Tragedy,The Gathering,Tristania,The Proclaimers and Yellowcard.The Corrs is gonna rule my ears for quite awhile.Normally these pop rock bands just sound damn nice on their cds but fail to impress live.This band however is even more impressive live.The energy,charisma and how they go with the music and lyrics is just fantastic!In terms of sibling bands,they beat Eisley flat.
 
Andrea Corr’s a great frontwoman of the band.The energy and all is amazing.Her tin whistle lines are very catchy and it gels with the violins super well too.Ah yes,violins.Sharon Corr to me is the best Corr!As a backup vocalist she gives off a really warm vibe.Never too showy for her violin lines as well.Jim is great with the crowd too.And Caroline to me is a really good base of the band.I remembered listening to The Corrs when i was a little kid and i’m still loving them now a the age of 19.The backup band is amazing too.Maybe it’s the irish feel they give out haha.Appeals to me.
 
CLASS PARTY LATER! 😀

New Set Of Vocalists

New Set Of Vocalists
Good morning people.
 
I have finally recruited all the vocalists i need for my new set of Passion’s Grace’s songs.It was quite tough choosing them.I only wanted 4 vocalists recurring in all the songs instead of having them loosely all over the set,like previously.So yea.Well i initially wanted Crystal to be back on this album,but i think she’s quite busy.I’m hoping to jam with her again anyway,so yea,didn’t choose her in the end.Which is ironic,cos i started off this project meant for only my vocals and abit of hers here and there,not one with so many vocalists.Now she isn’t even part of the masterplan already LOL.
 
So anyway,i don’t wanna tell you all the vocalist’s names yet.The only greatest news is that i got Nicole Siew to be the sop! 😀
 
Yea,ANYWAY!
 
Today is gonna be start of carolling rush.2 engagements today.Rawr.I don’t know,i like carolling and all.But sometimes it can get a little tiring and sian.It gets mundane lah.I know basses change members now and then,but still,for me,it’s getting a little too repetitive.I don’t know.I love it yet i am sick of it.So yea,that’s gonna be today.I did not do anything at all yesterday other than doing work at home.It sucks,there’s still schoolwork to be done amidst this carolling blitz.Graaaa.Anyway,I met Crystal for dinner last night at Meng’s before going church to get stuff and guess what?The parish office now has a glass door.Quite cool right?But,but.it doesn’t go very well.Uncle Vivian also mentioned things which made sense about why the previous wooden door was better.But then again,change happens.We all got to get used to it.
 
Ahhhhhh…..everytime i think of schoolwork i get depressed.

Paper Fan

Paper Fan
Dear Halmm,i’m leaving choir.
 
Nah just kidding lol.Not yet.I left my paper fan somewhere!So Halmm,if you see it lying in your bag,can return it to me when you see me on Wednesday?Thanks!I miss it a lot.
 
I realized i’m someone who enjoys one-on-one more.I love it when i just hang out with one person alone.The whole bondness and intimacy is really forged.I suck when i’m with a mass of friends,even when they are mostly my close friends.I just don’t know how to deal with such a thing well.That’s my weakness.I tend to just shy away.It isn’t anyone’s fault.It’s just how everyone is different,that’s all.But i really appreciate it how people try to lower themselves to my level.I temendously appreciate it.Like i said,to all my great friends,all your little actions have not gone un-noticed at all.I see them.I appreciate them.I love you guys.It’s just sometimes i can’t express myself properly.
 
Anyway,here are some photos from the camp.
 
Best friend.
Zen
Even froggy pays attention with me.
Got watermelon?
Hi Denise! 😀
Blowing milk competition with Desmond.
Don’t forget the lyrics starring Crystal and I! 😀 This was a walkover man.
I have absolutely no clue what they’re doing here.
The difference in size between Andrew and Zen is EPIC.
The lovely girls.
The guys.Proud of the basses especially.
Thanks for the photos,Nicole.Thanks for the friendship too.Thanks for always being there for me and all always.I’m also looking forward to March. 🙂 See you soon!

Different

Different
I feel different,
 
Everything feels different.
 
Choir camp’s over,it was good.Quite a success i guess,but i don’t know,some people are just different.Am i just trying too hard?I grew closer to some,some i grew closer again.Every camp is supposed to be something that bonds us,yet i don’t quite feel it as strongly this year.I’m not saying i did not,i did feel it.But it’s the people that i’m already close to,or the people that already know me this much,that just act so distant.I hate cliques.
 
Thanks for all the warm fuzzies.Thanks Geri,Nicole,Desmond and JiamJiam.They really made my day.
 
Welcome back Rachel!
 
I really don’t know where i can fit in school work.Shit.
 
Toodles.
