881

Alright. I know I am slow to catc 881 only now. but hey, or the third time in 24 years the whole family watched a movie in the cinemas together! I am extremely happy that both the two old ones enjoyed the movie. as usual they were amused by the hokkien script. haha. and so was I.

Anyway 881 is definitely the best excuse to bring your parents out for movies. (If you haven't been doing so in your last 10 years.) the reason being they will be able to relate to it. in more ways than one. though royston didnt exactly represent the entire generation of the baby boomers living in Singapore. but it sure did show the hokkien community. The Tee Gong (sky god) was one of the things in 881 that was extremely close to what is and was happening in hokkien families. Maybe cos royston himself is a tan, a hokkien. thats why so much of the movie is hokkien oriented. well maybe Jae should do a cantonese version of the heartlanders.

anyway back to the movie. the cuts that royston used were amazingly nostalgic to his last number ,, "15". the anthems that were spewed by mindee and yann yann sounded like the ah beng anthems of 15 as well. but nontheless it was entertaining.

although I was at the 3rd row from the front, it is still an enjoyable movie. Best movie to bring your baby boomers friends to.

humbling

on the train back yesterday, I met one of my recruits.
I managed to remember his surname.... 'Chok". Amazed by how i was able to remember.
anyway we were talking about the past and now. and suddenly he said something which i seem to have left to the back of my head in my life. my mantra. He said, "I still remember what you said last time to us. Don't ever let anyone say that you are F*^K up." Because you are not and you can be able to prove them wrong. this totally humbleed me that What I used to do to touch lives and all has been lost somewhere amidst my pursuit of other things.

Wake up call. time to bring things back. even for people like you.
"Don't EVER let anyone one say that you are fugged up" Never.
jaes wicked world...

Paul Van Dyk @ Zouk 1st September 2006

marvelliciously-stupendous-kickass-wicked night with World's Number 1 DJ.

For those of you out there who missed it... oh well. lets just say you haven't tried something which gives esctasy... as Kae puts it... but is legal.

Its been 3 times since he came and I missed his gigs. I can safely say, I will not miss anymore of his gigs again.

God it blew me away. Being consumed by music. For yesterday night I was one of those that got a little wet with sweat from dancing haha.!

But hell yea. it was a great time with KJ, Kai and Jamie. god.

PVD was so progressive it was almost orgasmic. holding back the bass till it was time to release the tunes. god. MINDBLOWING!

look around

I look around me again to see the faces I saw for the past 3 years. the jae-ded-ness in their eyes. people not talking to people that they were once familiar with at a point in their academic lives. it further saddens me to how a society can be this fake and yet thrive. wicked isnt it? maybe one of the readers here can enlighten me... for i am jae-ded. is this considered fake then? or is it just a sign of people getting too wary of others? preventing themselves from getting their egos hurt?

Mark's class is making me worry about my past entries about some specific people. maybe its time to delete them? haha. SIM.

in closing..... an beginning

as this chapter closes. wickedness surrounds. things that are left untold have surfaced to light and has undone what has been tigthened for so long.

happy for he is not as he is jae-ded. sad for he is neither as he is numb. ditched the piece he did not for he has given up.

feather it is for now till the next torrent comes.

wicked times shrouds as the inevitable period approaches. but light shall prevail with the fellowship that is formed.

...

I wonder how fake can things get. how mindfucked can i get. nightmares even. god. help me end this.



anyway loof was great. all thanks to danny. we even had the 'I "heart" FYP' badge.



i was thinking about all the cliques in school. and i wonder why there seemed to be so much differences between everyone. i mean all of us are in our early 20s already. and its not like we have not seen enough movies or experiences with other people. WHY AREN'T PEOPLE TALKING TO PEOPLE? even after 3 years of education and after seeing everyone else in school for the past 3 years.



yes there is bad blood between some people. but why the silence even when there is no bad blood? why am i not talking to stanley in school? why is almost everyone not talking to samantha in school? and even nathan. I cant help but think that the school is filled with alot of ego pple. Not that they are bad people, you know. being egotistical doesnt mean u are a mean person. like i myself admit that i have an ego. and maybe thats the reason why i dont talk to some people. oh well. i promise to be better from now on. hope you will too.



schools going to be challenging this sem. too all you fellow mates. strive on. and we all know... we love FYP!! :P

1st day of sch

i wld say its bad.
had to meet after 4 months. silence is deafening.

SG again

I am beginning to feel the toll of flying too much. that means i am not suited to be an air steward. haha.

well well. now i finally know my roots that i am based in Guangzhou and that my grand father's relatives have already dissappered from this world. i feel more rooted.

the next would be the trip back to taiwan to take a look at my mum's side of the equation.

life takes a stand still as we take it in to enjoy the times when we chill. its not too bad. but slacking too long and not doing shit IS shit. so i've gotta start moving my ass around more.

do unto others what they do to you? feel what they feel.

once again... ... rantings

well well. its been a long time. now i am back in singapore, but tomorrow i am going back to Guangzhou with my dad to search for our relatives. haha. well well. its going to be yet another trip to middle kingdom.

reading my previous posts.... i realise angst is such a stupid feeling that anyone shouldbe feeling. but hey, if we never did felt angsty then.... we wouldnt know how sweet happiness is. right!?

like if we never felt pain... we wouldnt know how good being pain free feels ... right? haha. yeap.
or like if we never had diarrhea we wouldnt appreciate normal bowel movements. as discussed with whye. haha. :)

oh. i love singapore.

Erase by Concave Scream

Sitting there watching the sun goes down

Think of u by my side

Asking myself

To die after time

Is there nothing

I can' do right

*I don't know what's best to say

It always end it the same way

I don't know if I've been okay

Please forgive me if I can fly

All these faces

Faces Passing by

It's about to say goodbye

*

** I'm not what used to be

I am lost in reality

I had enough of killing time

Now I run towards the unknown

I can't help but wonder

About all the things I leave behind

So dry your tears tonight

Baby please don't ask me why

local band concave scream. nice emo sad song. listen to it everytime. peeps go and have a listen to support singapore's local band. they're wicked.

Everybody Is Someone

Lifehouse - Everybody is someone

stumbling I fall away it's hard to make a change
easy to be who you are when no one knows your name
walking past the lonely walls with eyes as cold as stone
climb inside the emptiness it's safe when you're alone

don't be alarmed
don't be afraid of what you are
just look around
everybody is someone
everybody is someone

all this time you lived alone without a memory
built your life upon the ground that sinks beneath your feet
step outside the misery for once you feel alive
second chances only come around once in a life

don't be alarmed
don't be afraid of what you are
just turn aroundeverybody is someone
everybody is someonedon't be alarmed
don't be afraid of what you are
just turn around
everybody is someone
everybody is someone

don't be alarmed
don't be afraid of what you are
just look around
everybody is someone
everybody is someone


Ultimate respect song for people around. some people just don't have this.

BS

I am giving up.

hope is a good word.

but now its not. ship pal. na nuen michotso. na himduru juke. no don care.

hope the call goes well.

China Part X

This is the mole man by the roadside that left me a 3 yuan scar on my left wrist. haha. i tried to remove another for 5 yuan at a more decent beauty shop and it cleared with no scars. never trust roadside stores in china. lucky i never did the removal immediatel for my mole on my face. phew.
I just tot it was really funny to see a guy in the office with his head in the ceiling. reminds me of that jim carrey movie. bruce almighty. haha.

I had cow's throat for steamboat and cow stomach too. god cow throat has no taste, it was really crunchy and its yellow. in chinese it is called 黄喉。 well maybe cos i took a bite and flushed it down with coke. haha. it was huang guo and annie's birthday.

There was a company employment drive a few weeks back and 2000 people came to apply for jobs with the company it was crazy. I was doing english oral assessment for more than 120 people. it was so bloody tiring. and the worst part was. none were of worthy mention. it was so so so tiring. god. From here you could see how much chinese people wanna work for this company. god. i guess it really is a prestigious company to the locals.

I was eatin dinner about a few weeks back and there was this extremely cute baby. babies here seem to have pink chubby cheeks. most of them do at least. hehe. kawaii.
