Psalm 23

May 26, 2007

26th May 2007
D-day for me and the other students in NUS
To get our 2nd semester results
Waited the whole day
Waited so patiently
Like how I was patiently waiting
For the right girl to come into my life
Nearly 3 years ago
The only difference was that now I am
Still waiting for the right girl
As the former was rejected
By my dear parents
And me,
no matter how painful and hard
Had to let go of her
Being jealous of her now is the worst feeling I have now

Anyway
Back to my results
5.01 pm I switched on my computer
Clicking on streamyx to connect to the net
Opening firefox window
Typing in my username and password
My heart stopped half a second,
Maybe a second
What I saw was lots of bees and birds
and only an ant without a leg
Disappointed that I was
I was hoping a colony of ants swarming my account
Alas it could not be
Nevertheless I thank you Lord
For everything that you gave me

My hopes and dreams
Lord you see it and help me
Now and so forth
Until my 4th year

~Ivan~

Another late post. This one supposed to be posted 2 days ago hehehe

Yup, I took Dina and Ying Qian for a joyride to Damansara Jaya. It happened after Chooi Syn, Dina, Rui Hoong, Ying Qian and me went to Midvalley just for fun. Dina and Rui Hoong had stopped by Klang to eat Bak Kut Teh(Dina was dying to have it until she starved dinner the day before and breakfast :p)

Anyway, at about 5.30, after packing Dina's stuff into a box, I drove toward the exit and to my horror, it directed me straight to the Federal Highway towards Klang. I told both of them that I will make a u-turn at the bridge near UM so that Dina can catch a taxi to the airport.....and me bitten once still not shy took the wrong turn again to Kerinchi Link, which took the 3 of us to Damansara Jaya and Damansara Utama. After a good 30 minutes, finally I saw a u-turn and took it, hoping that it will lead us back to the Federal Highway. I guess Dina was a bit too scared of me that she said it would be safer for her to take a taxi from any petrol station to KLIA. Stopped at the nearest Shell and a taxi was waiting there for her. Phew it was a sigh of relief from her and from us in the car.

So, it was me and Ying Qian to find our way back to Subang...Took another wrong turn and it took me to Jalan Maarof...with some desperate thinking I jes followed the signboard towards Petaling Jaya, since it is the nearest to Subang. Well after going to alien places, finally we reached UM zzzzz and found the Federal Highway....all together, it took me nearly an hour to find my way back to the Federal Highway. I guess I don't have enough practice in KL to drive there yet hehe...sorry Ying Qian and Dina for the infamous incident and also thank you for your patience hehe...next time I will be more careful...

This post should have been up 2 days ago but my computer sucked so i onli had today to post this. Happened on Friday...my first game with my dad in the stadium with the veterans(retired men who have nothing better to do). I was hitting the ball comfortably only that my stamina was in the dumps.

Anyway, this veteran whom I was playing against decided to give me a sprinting exercise and dropped shot the ball near to the net. Me being the younger one compared to my partner sprinted for the ball la. I did not manage to get the ball over to the net but i slipped...and my racquet hit the net, rebounded back directly towards my forehead. I didn't see it coming and the next second I was on the ground in a state of shock. After about half a second, I got up, wanting to continue the game. It was then only I felt something warm flowing down my nose. I looked down and to my horror, blood was flowing like a waterfall down my nose. And to make it worse all the veterans were crowding around me. Man I thought I busted a nerve or something, and my dad was especially worried. After wiping off the blood I realised it was only a small cut, and a visit to the doctor confirmed that I didn't need to stitch the wound.

Now, my forehead is healing, but for the first 2 days, I really looked like a gangster, with the plaster on my forehead(when I can upload the photos I will show you all)

Haha..next time must be more careful...if not when got scar then kenot get nice girlfriend...hehehe Well gotta go work out the muscles...till next time =)

Haha...Heyz everyone!!my first post from home...I won't be posting alot from home because my internet is freaking slow haha...neways...first shocking news...I SPIKED MY HAIR!! (to those lamers out there it has nothing to do with volleyball :p)

Yup, I took Jonas' advice and opted for the new style. I'm sorry I can't load the photos now, but when I can I will okay =) So here is the story on me journey to the hairstylist and all the looks i got haha

1 pm...decided to go to Klang Parade for my haircut. Mom wanted to come along to 'make sure' I don't get an 'ah beng' look haha. After scouting about 3 places, I picked APT (some academy la) and went for teh professional cut. Throughout the 20 minute process, I was just closing my eyes and crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. When the hairstylist said "Done!!' I opened my eyes, put on my specs and was stunned for nearly 5 seconds. I look so so different haha..after 15 years of having the same hairstyle, I finnally changed it :D

Me mom was a bit stunned too but in the end it was just the process of getting familiarised with my new look. I think I look much better too without the irritating fringe always blowing the direction of the wind haha

Heheh watch out people for the new me!! =)

Ahh...after CTW paper, me, Fung Hong, Dina and Victor decided we will go out the whole day, well not exactly the whole day but until late night. =)
First stop was Sim Lim because Dina wanted to buy mp3 player. Walked practically the whole of Sim Lim before she found her baby in the shape of the K3 by Samsung. I had to say that it was a beauty, slim, light and classy. I think it can rival ipod hehe. So it goes that they were having some promotion and she gets an additional bag, player sock and screen protector. The catch is that we have to make our way to Funan IT mall to redeem the free gifts. So off we went, with the change of plan to Funan instead.
At first we were nearly lost our way because I forgot the way to go there. hehe good thing I remembered that there was a church somewhere nearby and the kind shop assistant drew the map for us. I think we spent a good 3 hours there at the 6th floor playing the games that we on promotion (Dina got hooked to this Feeding Frenzy game that was meant for kids :p) as well as toying around with the speakers that we for display. Man I tell you some speakers were super cool and the sound quality was superb =) Wanting to get one already next semester haha
Next up was choosing the right place for dinner. Me and Victor wanted to go Pastamania while Fung Hong wanted Carl's Junior. After much bickering, the big brothers gave way to little nigga and headed to Suntec for Carl's Junior. Another full stomach and more antics from us in the restaurant, acting like cute people and making stupid faces ;D I had the guacamole...massive burger that made me finish my food last haha..Victor as usual did not finish his food and Fung Hong happily gobbled his share of beef fries haha
Being full and satisfied, the family of 4 decided to take a stroll to The Esplanade. Under the drizzling rain the 4 hobos sat along the Singapore river, looking at the CBD and just crapping about life, songs, love, dll(dan lain-lain). Took lots of photos too!!!From 'anak-anak sials' to nigga style haha and we sang lots of songs can you believe it?Karaoke in the middle of the night at The Esplanade haha
Last stop was the bus stop waiting for bus 10. That was the worst, in terms of taking photos and posing. I will let the photos tell their tale. There will be more i promise, after i get my digital camera batteries charged =)

In the bus on the way home

Model for the K3 :p

Had a long, well to me it was long, with my distant friend the night before my CTW paper. I agree that I have no say to what content she writes on her blog, just that sometimes the attachment reappears and all I want is for her to come back to me and everything be merry and cheery again. Alas, a higher destiny has prevented me from having what i wish for. Learning to let go, is what I bad at. It seems so very easy for her to just tell me to let go and forget the past. For a person who was 'forced' to breakup, it will take a bit longer darling.
I'm sorry if I've been bugging you for the past days although. I should have known better that you have so many other things to juggle and your world does not revolve around me. 1st class to keep up, friends to hang out with, tennis club stuff to handle, becoming a nurse for people, CF matters. Man, who am I to complain that I don't get enough attention. I am so far away stuck in Singapore, now with nothing to do after my exams, having all the time in the world to think about the nitty stuff.
I don't want to get jealous okay when you say that a brother is one who is there to 'take care, protect and find "shelter" '. You are the experienced one, so I'm in no position to question your stand. What does a guy staying all his life with his parents have more, in terms of experience, compared to a person who has been away from home for nearly all her life, being able to experience the real world. I will try my damn best to let go of everything and be a good friend to you.
I do treat you as my special friend and I will continue to. All the unanswered messages I won't take it to heart and I will be happy just to be able to talk to you when I call. Well, you have the best in life and amid all the ko-ko's that you have I'm sure that one day you will find your prince charming and I will more than happy for you. I believe when that happens, I can tell you face to face that I'm happy for you and not feel anything inside, just joy and happiness.
I thank you for everything that you have done for me. I will still be here if you need any, just a phone call or a message. Yeah =) All the best for your exams and I really hope you read this and yeah it will be a bonus if i can see you sometime during this 3 months. =)
~To priscilla who will always be a part of me~

Hmm..me first post since 6th of April haha....actually i have one more paper tomorrow but I'm just too lazy to study for it. It's Critical Thinking lor criticism is so innate in us, the core characteristic of man =) Well for the past 4 days I have been consistently watching a movie a day, eat out at least once(like duh cause the canteen does not provide lunch), play lots of dota and laze around freely haha.
Went to Fish and Co with Dina, Jonas and Victor last night. It was a super super satisfying meal, more satisfying than cartel =) I had to choose between having swordfish collar or sambal fish...my heart was with sambal fish but Dina somehow made me change my mind so swordfish collar it was. An added bonus, tertiary students get free drinks!! weee and it was the last day of the promotion :D chose kola tonic cause the name sounded cool :p Anyway, I had to wait a little longer for mine for some unknown reason. Maybe its because the had to saw off its 'sword' :p But the wait was well rewarded...the platter was massive, too bad I didn't have pictures of it. I think 2 people can share a portion of it. And little did I know that swordfish had such a big collar!! After I finished, I was so stuffed until I couldn't walk properly haha.
After dinner the 4 of us randomly walked around Orchard Road, basking in the shopping aura which has eluded us for the past 3 months or so. Ahhh its been so long since we walked there and man there were changes...Scotts was demolished for some apartment and so was the orchard mrt station park. At about 9.30, we left Orchard and headed back home to our 'lovely' hostel via taxi....ahh how I could stay longer there and further regenerate my shopping aura to get rid of this study aura haha
Just this last wishlist that I crave......I want the Wilson N-6 ONE!!!! hehehe
Going off for lunch already....will be hearing more from me =) Enjoy Labour Day =)
