i need to buy time. apparently, getting the post out is taking longer than expected.
so meanwhile, here are 2 things you can read/stare at.
SECONDLY, you can tag about my “do you have a problem?” face 
oh and, remember i posted some random photo? it’s actually cheesecake
I’LL BE BACK SOON!

stuck! in a traffic jam
when you’re onboard a bus that is stuck in a traffic jam on the expressway, what do you think i’ll do?
a) scream
b) get off the bus and run
c) take photos with my phone
common sense would tell you i would do answer c, RIGHT?
massive jam to clementi
i should have heeded my gut feeling by getting off the bus and transferring to another bus. but noooo, i had to stay on the bus…
and when the system says MASSIVE, it really means MASSIVE
since i had time on my hand, i was really hoping to take a photo of my dream car: the mazda rx-8. sadly, it didn’t come
but this car came! (no idea what car it is though)
the closest thing to the mazda rx-8 that drove past me
this picture has a really nice caption imo
life of a singaporean at 9AM: stuck in a jam
since no mazda rx-8 drove by, i starting snapping photos of vans and buses (my alternative dream vehicles if i can’t get the mazda rx-8 )
if all else fails, i’ll get this
if it still doesn’t work out, i’ll resort to this
or this

stages of boredom (the pictures above happened when boredom was at stage 1)
stage 2: snapping photos of roads and road signs
road sign
and finally: stage 3
wondering why roads aren’t smooth
congratulations to xtc for its excellent performance at wcg
i would like to congratulate xtreme chaotix and it’s members for its excellent performance at the recent Asian and Singapore World Cyber Games!
they performed so well that their dota team clinched THIRD at the Asian World Cyber Games, which earned them a news paper feature!
(extracted from xtc.sg)
congratulations!!
it’s been a while since i last had a proper post here. (i did a mini check at my calendar and realised i’ve been logging an average of 1 post a week!)
nonetheless, here’s a summary of what’s been happening (well…some of it) over the past week.
- ambassador training and bonding camp
- dinner at kanesh’s house
- someday by nickelback
ambassador training and bonding camp
group 4 rocks!
the ambassadors training and bonding (tnb) camp recently ended and i’ve only got to say this: everyone there rocks!
when i stepped into camp with only 3 hours of sleep the day before, i knew it was going to be a challenge for me to be sociable and talk people i don’t know.
to cut the long story short, i’m proud to say that i’ve forged new friendships and made many new friends.
one of them was matthew. don’t be deceived by his innocent looks! on the outside, he’s nice. on the inside, he’s gay and scary
put these 2 together and you won’t be able to stop laughing
with the lack of sleep comes to lack of “processing power” than my brain can possibly output. i can clearly recall moments of me being slow. i can clearly remember when we were tasked to write a question that we couldn’t answer, i went ahead and write the opposite: a stupid question that could be answered.
what do i mean? well, when everyone wrote questions like, “how do i be happy?” or “how to manage time?”, my idiotic brain told my hands to write, “have you gone drinking, smoked a cigarette or watched an M18 movie below the legal age of 18 before?”
i also recall another idiotic moment during the personalized tour segment. when violet (the evil group leader) started to pretend she was feeling feverish. also immediately, my brain interpreted her to be thirsty and not otherwise. (you can imagine the embarrassment i went through)
nonetheless, regardless of all these stupid and idiotic moments, i had a blast. and i hope my teammates did too.
part of my group reading and solving a clue given to us
one regret that i had was the laziness and the lack of intention to write notes for my teammates. i feel awfully guilty when i received a ton of notes from people.
many of these notes touched me. it did make me feel guilty for not writing something for them. i wished i did something about it.
ah yes, how could i forget the person who persuaded me into dpa and ambassadors
dinner at kanesh’s house
dinner at kanesh’s house was the one reason why i felt sleepy during camp.
i was under this impression that i was going there for dinner and dinner only. afterwards, i would go home and have a good night’s rest in lieu of camp. but i thought wrong.
i was persuaded and sweet-talked into staying over at kanesh’s house. consequently, we slept late and woke up early.
describing this “bed” as comfortable would be an understatement
enough complaining and whining and the lack of sleep, the food that kanesh’s family put together was awesome!
even though it was a simple dinner, kanesh had done a lot to make it a nice evening for all of us. this includes the setting!

it indeed was an awesome and interesting experience. can’t wait to have something similar again
thoughts
someday by nickelback
don’t ask me about my obsession about nickelback. they rock and that’s all that matters.
apart from ‘gotta be somebody’ and ‘far away’, 2 of my many favourite songs, part of the lyrics of the song “someday” (although old) hit me.
here’s part of the song that hit me, hard.
Someday, somehow
I’m gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you’re wondering when
(You’re the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
I’m gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you’re wondering when
Well I’d hope that since we’re here anyway
That we could end up saying
Things we’ve always needed to say
So we could end up staying
Now the story’s played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let’s rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothing’s wrong, just as long as
You know that someday I will
a teaser note
to close this long post, i thought it would be nice to tease you about the next post.
i’ll be letting my thoughts and rant out. what is it about? well, you just have to wait. but don’t worry, it’ll come soon!
until then!
one of life’s lessons: chill and relax! »« Blogging in school!
school has been terrifying so far. i haven’t been able to do the things that i had intended to. the 2-week holidays are finally here, but i’ve got so many things to do in so little time.
my first week of the holiday is officially burnt thanks to camp. nonetheless, here’s the list of things that i wanna accomplish during the 2-week (technically 1) holiday.
don’t laugh!
- gym with karl!!! (YES, BELIEVE IT OR NOT)
- buy a tv
- lunch with andrew
- go overnight cycling
- go escape theme park
- go-kart!
- write a proposal
- play taitee with richmond and gang
- podcast episode 6
- go shopping with dhinesh
- write a 10-page report on why we should eat healthy
- celebrate karl’s birthday
- eat a happy meal at mcdonalds (and give the toy to junde)
- play badminton
and ultimately, the most important thing that anyone can ever do
- catch up with sleep
i’ll be back soon!
This got me thinking.
Here’s the chorus of If today was your last day by Nickelback.
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you’re dreamin’ of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
hmm…
EDIT: here’s a sneaky to tomorrow’s post.
concept art!
