I came across this awesome duo. I never knew Chris Brown's "No Air" could be so explosive. LOVE IT!
Ohmygosh, my Livejournal is pathetic la. Thankfully my REAL life is much more exciting.
I'm awesome at bowling now; "Awesome" is a reference to how my bowling was before recently. I'm still no Remy Ong though, but seriously, how can bowling be considered a sport when its like indoors, air-conditioned and so damn relaxing? Hm, it's more like a hobby la.. under the category of collecting stamps like that... Every week, the CRABs (Charles, Rachel, Adam and Benjamin) meet up for a game of bowling and laugh our heads off at Rachel mostly. Every week, the CRABs also try to catch a movie, the best so far being Made of Honour (just because Michelle Monaghan is absolutely gorgeous). Every week, the CRABs head down to St James, sort of, to think of ways and means to get Rachel drinking more than just mixers.
As you can see, it's been routine for me. And I like it. Relaxing, no stress... And before I know it, I'd be 40 years old, with no girlfriend and then I'll start to panic. But that's a long way more to go =D for now, I'll just stick to CRABs and lardidahz everything else.

Marie Digby. Don't you think she's so adorable bopping up and down while playing the piano? She's got the girlish charm that even my Mum would approve of. On top of that, the heart and soul she put into performing the song is so hot. I have a serious soft spot for chicks who have an attitude. Not the DAO kinda attitude, the "i-know-what-want-and-i'm-gonna-get-it" kinda attitude. Anyways, the lyrics for the song is very relateable. I'm stupid for her too.
Wait.
Or am I just stupid, full-stop? Haha...
Ever wonder if she started playing on a $100 e-Bay keyboard? ^^
Rumaged through my old stack of CDs and came across this collection of black CDRs. Had no idea where it came from at first but after popping one of them into my PC and out came Chinese choruses, I was suddenly overwhelmed at my discovery. I came around to remember where and who it came from. Most of the songs are melancholic, with love as it's main theme. I still have no idea what the songs are about. I can't catch the lyrics. I don't care either. Because I'm still waiting for that special Chinese girl who will spend time listening to them with me; on a lazy Saturday afternoon, translating the songs verse by verse to something I can "feel" with my heart and not just my ears.
But that time will have to wait. Because she's pre-occupied.
I want to tell her how much it would mean if she'd just translate 1 song for me.
I want to cuddle under blankets falling asleep as the tracks hum from my PC.
I want to know who she is.
Going to meet Xinyie now. Piano piano piano. Happybirthday sweets! Haha, just in case you never hear me say.

Sung to the tune of "Happy Birthday"
Happy V-day to me!
Since I got no lady,
No need to spend my money
On expensive jewellery~
I know, it's damn lame. What to do? I need to do something to occupy my time out at sea~
Bangkok next Wednesday! Can't wait! I've been resisting so many shopping sprees here. My hands are itchy and my wallet is full.. Can the shopkeepers in Thailand contain my wrath?! Muahahahah.
I wish I got this as a V-day gift.... It would have meant that she has exquisite taste in clothing. =))

Confused la. I know I shouldnt even be feeling this way but my heart is like a butterfly ya know? Always fluttering. I'm so easy to exploit at this moment now... No, it's not love. No, it's not love. NO IT'S NOT LOVE. You'd think if I said it much enough, I'll actually believe it? Hrm.
Ordered a box of contact lens! I'm falling into the path of vanity. Next up will be eyebag remover. And finish it up with eyelid surgery! Woots! I blame Hollywood. Everyone's blaming Hollywood. But I mean, Hollywood gave us really awesome stuff if you think about it... There's Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Linday Lohan... why, aren't these the perfect role models to NOT follow? In some conspiracy theory, I might assume that Hollywood's using reverse psychology to educate us! If only more people realised it and stop putting the blame on Akon.
I'm so random today.
I wonder what butterflies taste like. o.O

First official post for the year!
Sailing later in the night. A cruise to nowhere as I would like to put it. Sea state is not expected to be good, I'm quite excited actually! I have not experience rolling seas so far, so this would be a great chance to put myself to the challenge. Anyways, my ship will be going to yard soon, which means 3 months of relaxation for all of us! Already planning to go Thailand twice within this long-deserved break. Going there without mummy, MUAHHAHA. Means no "credit limit"! Means going there empty handed and coming back packed to the brim! Means a lot of happy friends waiting back in Singapore!
I feel compelled to list out my New Year Resolutions, so at the end of 08, I can laugh at myself. Hopefully achieve a couple... but heck! Who actually does keep resolutions? (:

So, in no order of importance, here goes!
1) Curse and swear less.
2) Learn how to Melbourne Shuffle.
3) Go to Thai Disco less (Yes, Cheryl >.<)
4) Put my St. James membership to good use.
5) Shed some pounds and stay at 75 kg!
6) Save enough money to go to Japan in 2009.
7) Get my driving license for goodness' sake.
8) FIND A GIRLFRIEND WHO WON'T RUN AWAY BEFORE 12 MONTHS. hahahaaaaa... sad but true.

Love's not easy.
It starts with an infactuation.
Blooms into affection.
Mixes well with a tinge of lust.
And grows steadily into an obsession.
But one wrong move can kill it.
Two wrong steps can smother it.
And in your case;
Three days was all it took,
To make me see it was not worth it.
Love's not easy.
It ends with resounding deflation.
Drops to the ground like an empty balloon.
Wakes me up from my silly dreams.
Makes me realize I'm better off ... alone.

Hectic weeks to come. Sail and sail and sail and sail... I'm constantly reminded that now, I'm working FULL-time and having fun PART-time, unlike my poly days. This change of lifestyle is kinda difficult to adapt to... especially now when I've finally got my financial independance. I've always wanted a princess to pamper; materially and emotionally. So now, I shall just adopt Amelia's words of advice and pamper my loved ones instead. Like, getting them bubble tea or occasioanally haul home a bag of Famous Amos.
At least I know, they appreciate me.
Is that so hard in a relationship? Sometimes, I wonder is love that "lovey-dovey" feeling when everything's smooth? Or is love the ability to be "lovey-dovey" when everything else is fuckedup?

You know how it feels to have girls come up to you every other minute to take your handphone number or get grins from cheeky female passer-bys?
Well.. I don't either. But that's besides the point.
Yes, Charles is still alive. Thailand was damn fun. It was a real eye-opener. I'm totally addicted to the a-go-go bars now. Thank goodness there's Golden Mile Complex. =) Gotta hit that Thai disco soon. Spent like 800 dollars on this trip.. nearly half of which went to my phone bill. For your information, each sms costs 79 cents and calls are pretty darn expensive too.. Totally wrecked when I recieved my bill. It was divine intervention that I took a look at it before my mum; I don't intend to be orphaned so soon. =D If given a choice between Pattaya and Bangkok, I'll really choose Bangkok. Yes, I admit boozing and having girls (real ones) for company is tempting. But my desire is to shop like mad and Pattaya just does not fulfill that!
More sailing to come in the month of October. Every week. At least 2 days a week. For 4 weeks. Pui. We're all like hamsters running on a wheel. Running endlessly with no end in sight. Being still the most junior onboard means I'm easily the stress ball that everyone needs. But what to do... every ship has its own style. Where some ships practise equality among ranks, mine just takes hierachy as a method to work. I can't complain much, except choose whether to reciprocate my "squeezes" as a stress ball unto my next junior. It's like deciding to become a Jedi or a Sith! Without the lightsabers....
Been such on such a freaking long blog hiatus, I realised. I swear, it's not that I don't wanna blog, but everytime I lay my arse on the computer chair and log into livejournal, something suddenly pops up. Sounds like I'm looking for an excuse; but believe it or not, that's your dai ji =p.
Was anchored outside Marina Bay on National Day, just out of sight from the lights, camera and action. And while everyone leisurely made their way there in the late afternoon... and sashayed their butts home after the parade; we, the vigilant front line had to crack our eyes open at 4am on the 9th of August, to sail into position and wait. And when Mr President probably reached home and already enjoyed a nice tub bathe, we were still on alert. Only consolation I feel is the experience of appreciating the fireworks display with my crew of 40 plus men, going all "OOOOOHHHH.... WHAAAAAAAA...." at the almost repetitive showcase. Yes, if you did not taste the sarcasm in my last sentence, you should go snot wasabi; I'm serious.
Promoted to the rank of 3rd Sgt as of last week! Been waiting damn long for this day. I'm finally a "specialist". Not some lowly bottom-of-the-food-chain cannon fodder anymore! On top of that, there's the monthly pay increment and getting to sew my new rank onto every peice of uniform, but I only give a shit on the former... More pay equals more Brandy Apricot+7-UP at MoS. Speaking of which, is extremely addictive. Tasted as sweet as my first kiss.
Sailing again on the 3rd of September til perhaps the 15th; location CONFIDENTIAL (Thailand lar). Damn clueless what this trip has to offer, don't even know how much currency to change. People are already asking me to get them clothes; like HELLO?! Thailand what kind of country to you ar, fashion capitol of the world is it? They have lots of other merchandise worth bringing back too! Like that pork floss biscuit... durian pulp roll... AIDS... No, just kidding on that last bit of detail. I'm not planning to visit the prostitutes in Thailand. You'll never what they might be hiding under their pants, ie: (an extra reproductive organ). Yuck.
Hate being single. Every where I go now, I notice these loveydovey couples. On the MRT, girl seats down, guy opts to stand and they even have to hold hands like that. Or, guy and girl stuck to each other like Siamese freaks, leaning on the glass panel often engaged in PDL. Please la, for goodness sake, or at least my sake, cut the crap. Life's already bitch and mine's worst with one. =X
Feeling patriotic; Dick Lee is my new idol. The dude's 51 years old and he doesnt look a day older than 30. I'm pretty sure something fishy is going on. Watch these videos at your own risk. Not for people who crap their pants while guffawing too hard...

Now I'm home. After 4 days at sea, I've learnt that I'm too dependent on MSN and SMS. It was like a technological cold turkey for me out at sea. My fingers itched for the keyboard and keypad. I'm officially diagnosed with serious addiction to technology. Got me wondering, am I the only one who's got this problem? Do you think you'll have a hard time adjusting if the computer you embrace so dear every day gets seperated from you.. what will you be reduced to? Yea, to those with the luxury of being on land, you still can go out, does'nt matter where, just out. Think about being onboard ship and out in the middle of the South China Sea. Where do you think I can go? o.O
Birthday chalet is tommorrow. I think it's really too last minute. A lot of people can't seem to make it. Disappointed a little, but it's alright. To those who can make it, I'll try to make it happening.

Sailing tommorrow, early in the morning. This sailing however is gonna be an enjoyable experience! I'm looking forward to my birthday celebrations during the weekends and having all my friends gather together for a night of RnB and alchohol! Please clear your damn schedules! It's once in a lifetime event! AND THIS IS FOR REAL! I'm ready to hit 21. I'm ready to be an adult and excercise my rights of adulthood! Becoming less childish is optional, however. =)
Just a quick post here I guess, I'm not dead.

Met Cheryl for some sinfully delightful chocolates at Mohd Sultan area. We were in luck that night, immediately got seats inside and avoided queuing up. The warm customer service, the endorphines and the ambience really made up a perfect pre-party hangout place. Okay, so the chocolates weren't cheap; 50+ bucks for 4 people... But it was worth it, well, I'm not saying a weekly visit but at least once a month would suffice. The selection here is moderate, enough to keep you wanting. Makes me drool all over again just picturing the rows of cakes, eclairs and other related sweeties behind the glass counter... Mmmmm...
Changed from Zouk to MoS because my Zoukies are a bunch of pang seh kias. Bleh. James messaged me last minture and since I was in the mood to party; I just went to MoS, disregarding the lousy experiences I've had there. However, the night turned out awesome. Met new people and danced with a bunch of new dudes and dudettes. Made friends with a fellow Thai dude; complicated story there. But a less complicated story would be of a certain Korean babe. Heh, striked a conversation with her Indon friend and her while waiting for my drinks. Apparently she's damn well travelled and looks set to settle in Singapore. Hmm, will there be a continuation to that? I've got no idea. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for sure.
DON'T JINX ME!

I'm so glad I've quit my "addiction". It's never healthy to be in half-love. About fucking time I woke up. =)
So, this week's been really LONG. Stayed in from Sunday til now. Got news I'll be sailing on my birthday, on National Day and the whole of a week in July. Wow, so.. that probably goes my plan for a chalet.. My 21st birthday, spent sailing with a crew of men. Awesome. Anyways, it's never about how the situation turns out... it's how I turn out during the situation. I'll be making the best out of anything and come out smiling no matter what.
I was probably your 2nd choice. A cushion if anything went wrong.
Going to the Balcony later with Cheryl. That sua ku girl better not order orange juice only. Batch boys going to Zouk later... I'mma going back to camp tommorrow morning. So how will my morning turn out? I've got no freaking idea. One thing's for sure though.. It can't possibly be as fucked up as you.

Closure.
I have to remember Alicia's, Amelia's and Derek's words of advice.
Duty on Sunday, wheee.. I'm supposed to be tested next week. Wish me luck, seriously... First to get tested; which means no one to get tips from. So, it's up to me to set the benchmark, CANNOT FAIL AR! Lots of money is at stake here.. heh. My motivation. Money.
My 21st is coming really soon. I have no idea if I can celebrate it in advance or not... Might have to settle for a late celebration. It's probably gonna be a chalet. I want to go into adulthood with a blast! So, if the people I invite cannot meet a certain "quota", I'll just go club the night away with a few buds. I want my 21st birthday to be filled with lots of laughter, alchohol and RnB music.
Watched "Die Hard 4.0" today. Wha, action from the start all the way until the end. Worth every cent of my money. Seriously. I cannot ask for a better action flick than Die Hard. Bruce Willis is still very much fit for the role of Detective John MacClane, regardless of what other people might say. His witty script and invincible action moves really make his character stand out from regular dick flicks. If you're a huge fan of car chases, shoot-outs, martial arts, ingenius manipulation of physics and funny one-liners, Die Hard 4.0 is a definite MUST-WATCH.

Back from sailing.
Bleh. No fun and games when you're sailing with the Singapore Navy, I can assure you. It's downright tiring. Rest times are never secure because there are sudden exercises that forces everyone to go back on to duty, no matter even if you've already done duty for the past 6 hours. -.- In the 48 hours of sailing, the longest time I got to rest in between was no more than 4 hours. =( Ohwell, I don't have the right to complain I guess. Everyone's literally on the same boat.
My only comfort is...
Wait...
there's no such thing...
