someone asked this question on Yahoo! Answers.

i got mad at my Vista PC and threw it across the room into the wall then i kicked it what parts will i need?
i turn it on and it smells strange and go's beep. then i have to press the power button again same thing!
ARGHHHHHH!!!!
useing XP right now.

best answer given:

First you'll need anger management classes. Then if you have any money left buy a new PC because it'll probably cost more to repair than to buy a new one once you add in labor costs.
You might need some drywall to fix the hole in your wall though.

Hi,this is your friendly,trying-to-be-noticed administrator.
Unfortunately,YOUTUBE videos are NOT TO BE put up on this blog because it jams the page up like nobody's business and business has to run all day.AND because this is such a popular blog read by like 3 people(Alvyn,Kelvin and Alvyn) everyday we cannot afford the increasing retardation in the loading of a million other items such as "Women of the Year" and most recently, "Live From Shunfu Road : A Mahjong Session".

If you still insist on putting up Youtube stuff,you will be severely dealt....
Er,actually,er we can't do anything.

We're pretty much NATO.

But until then,Xiaxue's nose is still ugly and Michelle WongYuMin is her biggest fangirl,second only to Xiaxue herself.

P.S please take this entry seriously,Carly Simon or otherwise.

Live from Shunfu Road

04A1A Mahjong session

First round

After losing in the first round of mahjong, Kelv says "ALVERINA SUCKS!" while Raymond tries to persuade Kelv to go to his company's office at Clark Quay in the hope that this potential customer will help to recoup his losses. In the meantime, Shane the victor sits smugly in his chair...

On to the second round..

Ray is still trying to get Kelv to go out tomorrow for like the 35128866th time today. And even promises to treat him to lunch!
In a remarkably fast round, Shane wins once again. Guess Ray is too busy persuading Kelv while the latter is too busy rebuffing his attempts. Weikee the final player is looking kinda busy with the toy bear on his laps.

Third round now.

Ray tells me to get a life because i'm watching youtube, but seriously youtube has got to be one of THE inventions of the century.
Ryan comes in and tells shane "shane, go and eat oyster". OK he didn't say oyster literally but i have no idea how to spell the name of the oyster dish, yea you guys know which one. Ah fried oysters!
Shane wins yet again... This is getting very predictable.

Fourth round

Before starting the round we allow ourselves a little daydreaming, thinking about our future london trip in 2008 and how we'll just camp in hyde park if we're too poor to afford hotel rooms.
Raymond's flirting with some girl over the phone, no wonder he's been losing. Kelv on the other hand has gone crazy. He's got a paper bag over his head and with that, he hopes to beat Shane. Talk about desperation!
And the winner of the fourth round is you know who.

Fifth round

Daniel tells us he's not coming. We bemoan how army doesn't allow us access to youtube! At the same time, kelv is compared to xiaxue! How flattering! It seems like the conversation now is about anything but mahjong. The game fizzles out in the middle of the game and our attention turns to what to have for dinner. Expect to have an answer in one hour's time!

As we prepare to leave for dinner, ray is still asking kelv to go out tomorrow... Well good bye and good night!

Hey everyone, i thought i'd do a roll down of the hits and misses in the music industry in 2006. As you all probably know, this will be a very biased list and anyone who doesn't like it can just go and marry Britney.

SURPRISE OF THE YEAR: Justin Timberlake. Who knew the yuppie kid from the mickey mouse club could come out from his fag boyband phase to emerge as one of the most insane dancers of his generation. His new album is also surprisingly (like duh) good, with sexyback and my love already making waves everywhere. Just one question, how many of you actually thought a different meaning of 'sexyback' before you all actually looked at the lyrics or heard it like 93849389 times over and over again.

DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE YEAR: Snow Patrol. In their last album, Final Straw, they were simply awesome. 'Run' was a classic, an instant hit. Then, everything went going down. Not that 'Eyes Open' was bad, in fact, it was quite good actually...then Singapore Idol spolit it. 'Chasing Cars' became the anthem of practically every event, every romantic scene, every advertisment, everywhere! My friends, beware commercialism, it doth mock the meat it feeds on. Commericialism destroys. Look at Coldplay and you'll see. Jimmy Eat World escaped it and went back to obscurity, and hey, they're better than ever now with 'Futures'. Moral of the story: don't do it for the money.

WHO TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2007: Well firstly, Muse is coming to Singapore and they're terrific! Check out 'Starlight' and 'Time is running out' by them, it will certainly be worth your time. Wish i could go to their concert though, it's simply too expensive, unless anyone (Alvyn?) wants to sponsor me. Ok next, my friends, check out New Found Glory and their new album 'Coming Home'. With great tracks like 'Too good to be' and 'Hold my hand', the album's soon to be a classic in the indie world. Check out Daphne Loves Derby too. They're a realtively unknown band but hey their music's right up there with the big boys. Of course i'd rather the name of the band be 'Kate Beckinsale Loves Shane'. Finally, Anberlin gonna be the biggest thing that will hit you in the face in 2007. Possibly one of the best bands in the scene now, alongside Taking Back Sunday, Anberlin's gonna be big, mark my words, BIG.

I'M SO TIRED OF THEM: Throw out Black Eyed Peas. Enough of them already! My Chemical Romance is highly overrated.They're just a band for Indie wannabes in Singapore to say, "hey i know MCR so i'm cool and emo and indie and all and pop and err..is pop considered indie? does radio play indie stuff...actually i know nuts about indie and i'm just trying to pose here." And as shocking as this might sound, Paris Hilton and singing...erm...it ain't nicole and paris.

THE CLASSICS: Inject yourselves with a dose of Taking Back Sunday, a mixture of Dashboard Confessional and Death Cab For Cutie, one pill of Dishwalla, a concortion of The WHO and ACDC and finally a brew of Hawthorne Heights, Motion City Soundtrack, Our Lady Peace and Lifehouse.

ok i hope this was quite a comprehensive report about 2006 and the upcoming 2007!
but hey wait...aren't we forgetting something??! oh yes! it's Alvyn's beloved Keane!!! ok yes guys, please do check them out. plus, they have a higher chance of coming to singapore than any of the mentioned bands save Muse. ok cheers!

WOMEN OF THE YEAR

Few possess that elusive quality of classy allure that makes a perfect Bond girl, but Eva Green has it in spades, injecting a fierce independence and sharp wit that makes her portrayal a cut above the rest.

There's not a star in heaven that she can't reach, after Vanessa Hudgens starred in the surprise hit High School Musical and released an album V.

She's been busy this year, appearing in no less than 3 high profile movies, but Scarlett Johansson still found time to be the Sexiest Woman Alive 2006.

Camilla Belle has the charisma and looks to make a movie like When A Stranger Calls at least watchable. 'Nuff said.

What can we say? This potent combo of intellect and beauty that is Natalie Portman is enough to make even the anarchist V weak in his knees. Her place as a woman of the highest calibre is cemented as far as we are concerned.

MEN OF THE YEAR

After slicing his way through X-Men 3, conjuring spectacular tricks in The Prestige and charming the socks off Scarlett Johansson in Scoop, Hugh Jackman shows no signs of slowing down, with his own Wolverine franchise in the advance stages of development.

3-time FIFA World Player of the Year Zinedine Zidane ended his illustrious career on a high note at the 2006 World Cup, playing an inspiring role in his team's advancement to the finals, clinching the Golden Ball to be the Most Outstanding Player, while delivering a well-placed headbutt to Materazzi for defamatory insults, now that's a man's man if ever there was one.

Daniel Craig got the last laugh as he reinvigorated a venerated franchise and established himself firmly as the definitive James Bond with the grittiest and most credible portrayal of the legendary character yet.

Despite being without a batsuit, Christian Bale continues to shine in his role in Christopher Nolan's period magician thriller The Prestige, and the upcoming Harsh Times with Eva Longoria.

He's toiled through the pits the past year, but Jude Law has managed to return seemingly undiminished in The Holiday, Breaking And Entering, and Wong Kar Wai's My Blueberry Nights, not to mention being appointed as the new face of British luxurious motorities brand Dunhill.

GUEST BLOGGER: MICHELLE

hello everyone! yay i'm blogging here for old times sake. can't believe a year has past. so much has happened!

i think everyone should do a proper update on his/her year!
ALL OF YOU SHOULD DO TOO!!!!!!

okay my first half of the year was working at iras. easy job, average pay, good times. i realised that a very important factor in a job is the LOCATION. peak hour crowds on public transport is quite a killer, especially on a rainy day! okay fast forward. then i started school. terrible. not looking forward to going back at all. sigh.
but this year has been really fun for me, i don't know why. maybe not really fun, but uh.. enjoyable.

oooookay too busy watching youtube now! michelle out!

hey guys!
i'm blogging from camp.
well as you can see from my blog...i'm having the monday blues
being back in camp in almost a month kinda takes time getting used to.
i had a one week break the last week, and it so totally kicked ass!
i was able to do CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!!! though not a lot.
and it's like i was so soaked in the christmas atmosphere....which i was so drained off last year with the enlistment and all.
i wanna go town again!! the decorations are brilliant! (although some of you might not think so, but hey, i don't get out very often ...at least not during the weekdays so like even a speck of confetti is like a parade to me).
anyway, can we please go christmas shopping soon?!???!?
then i can tell you guys (mainly alvyn and whoever has money....like raymond who has like $5000 in his bank account which he hid from us all these years) what i want for my presents....note the 'S'.

here are 10, no make that 11, things none of us know this time last week
disclaimer: i did not make any of these up.

1. The age of consent in Northern Ireland is 17, as opposed to 16 in the rest of the UK.
2. A digital radio uses between 12 and 20 times the energy that an analogue radio does.
3. The phrase "dead reckoning" means navigating traditionally, by charts and compass.
4. George Bush is the first president since Jimmy Carter not to subscribe to the Guardian Weekly (he's partial to ESQUIRE, really...ok kidding)
5. Male African golden web orb spiders have two penises, both of which drop off during sex. (OUCH!)
6. There are 6.5m sets of fingerprints on file in the UK. (why so few??)
7. About 60% of drivers stopped by police do not give their true identity. (how clever)
8. Heroin addicts commit on average 432 offences a year, according to Chief Constable Howard Roberts.
9. Iceland's population is about the same as that of Doncaster.
10. Michael Jackson watches I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

11. Michael also loves James Bond movies, despite the fact that they are rife with violence and adult sex. Usually Michael prefers cartoons or Disney fare. But he didn't go for the English premiere of Casino Royale because he was 'too nervous' to be near the Queen. So the onetime King of Pop asked the Bond production company to lend him a tape, allowing him to enjoy the latest Bond flick in the privacy of his hotel suite with diet coke n popcorns for company. There were no queens around to make him nervous then.

This is a police sign in Beijing.

Well, in case the words are too small, i'll type it out here.

When you have a meal in a restaurant, don't put your bag and clothes beside your foot, behind your body or hang the bag on the chair. Please ask the waitress use the something to cover your
bag and cloth, it will be more safe. And you can also put everything in your eyesight. It can prevent anything from stealing.

When you go shopping, please pay attention to the people who close to you, please take care of your bag carefully by yourself. Or put everything in your eyesight.

When you have a walk, don't put your mobile phone, camera,wallet and some precious things in your bag, or put your bag in front of your body at the same time. Don't put your bag under your arm and put the bag behind your body.

If you find something lost or be stolen, please call the policeman in time.

I swear every single word is true haha.

2006-11-14T21:48:00.000+08:00

Me: I'm going Beijing this week.

Shane: Oh yeah, remember to get me something. Like one of Mao's hats... or one of his many concubines.

Me: I think you're better off with a Singaporean girl

Shane: Why?

Me: Are you sure you'll be able to understand her??

Shane: Oh yea hahaha

Yup, so i'm off to Beijing tomorrow for the week. Drop me a message if you guys want like fake pradas, gucci, LV, the works haha. I could even do a roast duck if customs get lenient(but seriously, do i look like i'm about to drag a roast duck all the way home??)

So till next time, please show some signs that this blog is still being read!

2)outside the club he couldn't stand properly, all the while saying he wasn't drunk
3)he says he'll get up from the seat only to lie down
4)he lets kelvin treat us supper
5)he lets shane pay for cab fare
6)he pays for us everything else....no wait..

Time for another update before the blog becomes seriously outdated!

DXO is a really weird club. You get all kinds of people there. Lians, bengs, aunties, some totally unhot ang mohs who can't handle MOS, you name it, they've got it. Talk about an identity crisis man. And if they aren't having shitty music like that time at the RJ afterparty, then they've got DJs who can't get the crowd going despite spinning some good songs. Oh well.....

And did i mention that drinks are way overpriced there??

Funny moment at DXO last night

Shane: So what do you guys want to drink?

Me: Vodka lime?

Yong Cheng: Vodka lime?!? That's such a kiddy drink man

Shane: Ok, so what do you want?

Yong Cheng: Bourbon Coke

And of course, what's a clubbing night without THAT debate about whether i'm drunk or not haha. So i just got to say, you will know when i'm drunk when i start to strip and dance on the bar top. Otherwise, i'm never drunk! Never have been!

Oh and a note to that band Addiction playing last night at DXO to which i'm addicted to now, pun fully intended, i just had to do that- take your music somewhere else, some place where people can really appreciate you guys cos you're all fantastic. But please please don't cover any of Paris Hilton's songs anymore. That's a sure way of not getting that record label.

So anyway, clubbing aside, I got the bargain buy of the year yesterday! After two years, i've finally found the STAND UP SPEAK UP wristband! Yeah, that passe wristband of anti racism fame from the year 2004 whatever. But i got it at only........ 5 bucks! While others got theirs at 50 bucks! Hahaha take that, Ebay!

My parish priest made the boldest statement of his career this morning.

Priest: Communism did not start with Karl Marx. In fact, it actually started with Jesus Christ 2000 years ago.

Hmmmm

Food for thought this Sunday morning...

Anyway this has been a totally random, chunky paralious entry about nothingness- in short, an update for the sake of updating.
Enjoy your Sunday!

Hello folks! I'm too lazy to send out mass text messages again so i'm just going to say what i have to say regarding Saturday's outing here.

It'll be great if everyone brought along a little something for everyone to eat or else we'll go hungrrry!! You know, like a little potluck kinda thing. So hopefully you guys can bring along something.

Meeting time is at 12 noon at habourfront so please try not to be late, though it's hard hahaha.

Ok that's all i have to say actually. Please please please do turn up and just let your hair down this Saturday! See you guys real soon!

2006-09-14T22:23:00.000+08:00

Bond...James Bond
yes peeps! the MI6 superagent is back this november in grand style with Casino Royale!

a little background knowledge first.
Casino Royale is of course the first published novel of the series by Bond creator Ian Fleming. apparently when fleming was himself an agent of the naval intelligence division during WWII, he made a trip to Estoril Casino (which had a number of spies present) en route to the US. the book basically came out of his fantasies of beating German agents at games of poker and bacarrat ha!

ok so what's the story about you ask? actually it's about a villain named Le Chiffre, who manages the operational funds of SMERSH, a russian counter-spy bureau. he's in pretty deep shit for losing SMERSH's money in some lousy investments so he's out to win back some cash by playing card games at Casino Royale.
Enter James Bond, who's just got his 00- rank and the license to kill by assasinating 1) a japanese cipher expert and 2) a norwegian double agent. and besides being the best women-player in the service, bond is also known to be Her Majesty's best gambler, and off he was sent to play some cards with Le Chiffre, in the hopes of beating him so that his mounting debts will provoke SMERSH into getting rid of him for good.
in this endeavour bond is aided by felix leiter of the CIA, who provides some extra funds in case bond's down on his luck, and vesper lynd as the requisite beautiful assistant. turns out miss lynd is a russian double agent who's out to make sure bond doesn't make it out of Casino Royale alive. indeed bond was eventually beaten by le chiffre and got his balls hit pretty bad (literally!) vesper commits suicide in the end and bond is happy to report to his superiors,
'The bitch is dead now.'

ok so i don't know how faithful the new movie is going to be towards the book but it looks reeeeally promising. daniel craig is a fresh and unexpected choice to take on the mantle of the superspy although from whichever angle he just doesn't look like bond (more like vladimir putin) to me. one thing's for sure, the guy's got acting chops in spades (no pun intended). anyway, in case you have no idea who he is, here's his pretty pic:

here's a couple of smashing posters for the film before i end off this overlong post!

2006-09-13T21:03:00.000+08:00

According to The Sun, the ultimate booze hangover cure "involves a pizza base, tomato paste, McDonald's fries and burgers and a healthy serving of cheese and bacon."

Now can you just stop for a minute and think how it'll look....... Pizza Hut meets MacDonalds! As if the pizzas from Pizza Hut weren't awful enough, we've got to throw in burgers from dear old Macs as well. Gross!!

I say give me a good cup of tea anytime to cure that hangover or the ever reliable panadol.

And also from The Sun, Chelsea star Michael Ballack has been quoted as saying that London's too expensive! And this coming from a guy who earns 130,000 pounds a week!

Well if it's too expensive for this guy, then you know shane, we better scrap that plan of going back London. I mean if 130,000 is not enough, our miserable few hundred dollars per month is definitely not going to cut it hahaha.

Alrite, it's back to camp, where i'll spend yet another day reading the papers five times over, taking fifteen toilet breaks and willing time to move faster. Bye!

Hello boys and girls! It's been a while since we got a non youtube post so i decided to break the trend and get on with good old words. How's everyone doing?? Birthday shoutouts to Emily and Michelle who celebrated their birthdays this past week! Don't forget about us as you start university life! It sounds brilliant at any rate, starting university and all. Studying again! Studying! Oh how i miss the books! Not meaning to sound like an absolute bookworm here, but what won't i give to hit the books once more.

But.... I'm actually having quite an ok time in army for once. Medic training is pretty enjoyable apart from the constantly PMSing sergeants and the IVs which are injections we have to administer on one another every week. Seriously my arm looks like that of a drug addict now.. Otherwise it's all good and hopefully things will continue to be well.

So people, update update update! About your life, about school, about army(err.. on second thought, forget that. I know all about the other guys army lives haha), about anything at all. We need a class outing soon!

imagine christian bale as james bond!! last youtube post, promise

2006-07-30T11:00:00.000+08:00

another youtube treasure, haha

2006-07-27T13:59:00.000+08:00

hey guys,this is my first time updating here in 334543454 years.

-cue for confetti and loud band music-

but its quite pathetic really,because i forgot the login username(dig that!) and the password(double dig that!forgetting the password is like forgetting the person who taught us _co__m_cs,our favourite dude hahahaha) initially.

So anyway,onto the main reason why i am even here.

GUYS,remember everybody's favourite military song,PURPLE LIGHT?Well i always found it so familiar,like i've heard it somewhere before(i mean i always knew the song was adapted but never knew from where),especially the lines,"with my rifle and my body and me..."

And last night,while on YOUTUBE(oh my god we need to stop advertising them,its so annoying,i am annoying myself too),i found this:

Oh by the way that's Dean Martin(the guy lying down looking drunk),in his Bing Crosby styled voice,which has influenced the way i sing too(but who the heck cares and i should stop talking myself).I love Dean Martin!! Isn't this version so much so much better? I have no idea if this is the original either,but if it is its really kickass larhh

I really ought to stop being a loser,surfing YouTube all day long!

2006-07-21T20:06:00.000+08:00

great great stuff, watch it!!

2006-07-12T01:04:00.000+08:00

GREETINGS!

Sometimes I really forget that I can actually blog here. This space is wasted on soccer lah, just post the results lor. Finals: ITALYYY!! All the hype about it and staying up late to watch is making me excited even I cant understand it! Suddenly everyone around me uses football lingo."Sia lah! That midfielder feinted!!","Huh! What happen!" People are forever asking me these days if Im staying up to watch, and I found out all kinds of reasons why they're watching. mmm. I've finally started to realise how important soccer is - how it creates wonderful social opportunities

4 common reasons (other than the really common reasons)..
from different people

1) Opportunity to spend time with soccer crazed boyfriend
2) Opportunity to start a conversation with a guy, even it's about soccer
3) Opportunity to sms a girl and ask her if she's watching too
4) Opportunity to sit with girlfriend on couch for the duration of match

These are real reasons ok. Perhaps it'll give you all some ideas in future. You know hor, I got flamed for taking soccer so trivially and missing the spirit of it all by making sweeping generalisations. [Oh I was tempted to get the country themed Converse tees. I like the Brasil one.]

While World Cup mania is still rife, does anybody want Miniature Soccer Balls? They're quite pretty and nicely made. It's one for 6 bucks, and two for 10. I have 1 to give away though. Tell me if you want ok?

On Germany progressing to the semis ( I think). By one of my friend who recently bought soccer shoes for herself:

"but lehmann was good, kahn was sporting to give his rival a nice pat, frings was everywhere, podolski threatened. hell, even odonkor looked more like a footballer than a sprinter. and of cos, dear ballack was classy and played thru pain. SIGH. they held argentina to a 1-1 draw so dont come and tell me that germany's not good enough. true, peckerman(poor professor.. i like him actually..alongside scolari, he's gotta be one of my favourite coaches) substituted riquelme for cambiasso without a really good explanation; and the first choice goalie abonddanzieri was injured midway thru the 2nd half..but u gotta give it to the germs for playing like a unit. only gripe? i think lahm's gotta learn that he has to track back to defend and not leave it to the 2 merts to cover his skinny white ass."

I am completely clueless what shes talking about. To the less soccer literate people, you get what I mean about soccer lingo yes? Wah.. and the names too.

(Our class blog is getting dusty.. Ahh chooo!)

you know, i think i can say for most guys in a1a that army just makes you depressed.. i know it's all about serving the nation and all that shit, but no matter how nice this country's treated us for the past 18 years doesn't mean they can just throw us in a shithole for 2 years! u know, i just calculated, and i have only about 560 days before my ns stint is over...FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY DAYS!!!! and then, i'm sure daniel is cursing abt it too, they put us to work on NDP, on saturdays! gosh, what's the big deal abt a freaking parade?!?! let those who want to celebrate the nation's birthday work on the parade themselves lah! so girls, when u do watch the parade on tv next month, do remember it was done grudgingly by a group of poor sods who got their weekends robbed by the government.. haha ok i'm so sorry for ranting here, and i know being depressed isn't going to be good for the skin and all.....so on a brighter note, superman returns was a really enjoyable 2 and a half hrs of escapist entertainment. the music, the opening blue flying credits, the awesome rescues, miss lois lane :D haha ok i can already feel the seconds of my preciousss weekend ticking away, cya people!

Happy 200th posts! Great, i'm so glad we can start another century of posts without some morons coming to insult us unlike the last time.

Anyway, i'm sure everyone knows the big big event happening tomorrow in Berlin. It's the World Cup final where Italy takes on France! It's going to be such a good match you guys all have to watch. So let me give you a little foretaste of what is to come.

It's going to be inspirational french captain Zinedine Zidane pitting his skills against Italy's playmaker Andrea Pirlo. Italian captain Fabio Cannavaro will be doing his best to contain Thierry Henry, Lillian Thuram will have his hands full with Francesco Totti while Patrick Viera and Gennaro Gattuso will do battle in the middle of the pitch.

I should imagine that to the non football fans, the paragraph above might as well have been written in Krytonite(is that what superman and his family speaks back home in Krypton?). Yet, when Italy takes on France in the World Cup final for the right to be world champions in the footballing world, it transcends mere football and goes right into the culture of the French and Italian. You can imagine tomorrow's battle to be likened to:

1. The Souffle versus the Tiramisu for World's best dessert
2. Champ Elysees versus Via Condotti for World's most famous shopping street
3. The Seine versus the Tiber River for the World's most famous river
4. Minestrone versus French garlic soup for the World's yummiest soup
5. Pizza against the French baguette for World's best dough
6. Monica Bellucci versus Laetitia Casta for World's hottest woman
7. St Peter's Basilica versus the Notre Dame for World's grandest church

....and so on and so forth. Yeah you get the idea hopefully.

My prediction? I think Zidane will lead the French to victory against the Italians. Watch this space!

POST 200!!!

Actually that's quite pathetic considering that this blog actually boasts ownership by 12 people... Yawns.

So anyway, I shall celebrate my posting the 200th post by telling an interesting and anazing story bound to make you tear your hair out in anguish. Its comes in three parts.

Part 1 is scaryyyyy, like horror movie scary, so watch out! Part 2 is, instead, funny! Well we all need a little comedy now and then. And part three is sad... Like Shane sad. Like Shane emo. Get it?

Alrite here goes:

Part 1: Once upon a time, there was a zombie. (OOO now wasn't THAT scary? I mean, a ZOMBIE! Wow that's freaking scary lah.)

Part 2: The zombie was jumping around when it tripped and fell. (HAHAHA like is that funny or what?)

Part 3: The zombie took serious injuries from the fall... and eventually died... (Awww now isn't that sad... Never mind the fact that its a zombie. Its still died... Shane are you crying?)

OK that's the end of the brilliant trilogy. I call it "The Chronicles of the Zombie who Jumped and Died". I don't really want to sound conceited, but this trilogy just hit the top of the New York Times bestseller list. Honestly.

Haha bullshits aside, I congratulate Alvyn and Kelvin for their postings. You'll be glad to be anywhere except at Khatib Camp.

By the way, do i get a prize for posting this? Like, its the 200th post and all so.... OK! Alvyn I'll see you at LORRY'S next week.

Ciao.

Hey guys, end of block leave! Yes that sucks big time. It's been a super fun week and i must say that the Jamie Cullum concert was definitely the highlight. He was SOOOOOOOO good and for those of you who missed it, you must be kicking yourselves! I'm sure Kelv will back me up on this one.

Well keep this blog going. We're only 2 posts away from 200! Whoever wants that milestone and honour of doing the 200th post, act fast! Till next time, take care people.

Hi guys! I'm feeling bored at the moment, so please let me entertain myself and you guys with some random posts.

Firstly... Latest from the World Cup

Spain 4 Ukraine 0

What a shame for Ukraine, but full credit to Spain

Germany vs Poland- A little bit of history being replayed on the football field...

With the same result.. Germany 1 Poland 0

This is a wall in my house that is temporarily playing host to this large results chart which is updated everyday with the latest world cup scores.

This is what i had for lunch today- Tagliatelle with pancetta, thyme, basil and parmesan chesse.

It's a lovely meal that takes only ten minutes to prepare, so give it a shot too!

I can't wait for the jamie cullum gig later! It's going to be fantastic. Wherever you guys are, hope things are going great. Till next time!

The Holy Grail coveted by all countries...

A global spectacle four years in the making...

1 day 06 hours 57 minutes to...

FIFA WORLD CUP GERMANY 2006!

If you guys still aren't aware that the World Cup is happening tomorrow in Germany, where on Earth have you been??? I thought it'll be criminal not to mention the World Cup on this blog seeing that it's arguably the biggest sporting event ever, hence this entry. So without further ado...

Top Teams to watch out for

1. Brazil

With the dazzling array of star talent at their disposal, reigning champions Brazil are definitely the team to beat in the competition. The likes of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Adriano are regarded as demi gods in the world of football for their skill with the ball and rightly so. Expect them to entertain all the way to the final.

2. England

This has got to be Becks and Co's year. After suffering the heartbreak of crashing out in the last two major tournaments, the English are determined to lift the World Cup this time around. Much will rest on the shoulders of star striker Wayne Rooney who's battling to be fit to take part in the competition, but even without the teen prodigy, England can call upon the likes of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, David "Golden Balls" Beckham and Rio Ferdinand to deliver the goods. This is the strongest England team for years and is it any coincidence that this year will be exactly 40 years to the time England last won the World Cup? Time will tell.

3. Argentina

Brazil's arch rivals Argentina have a point to prove to their doubters, especially after their dismal showing at the last World Cup. With young talents like Leo Messi and Carlos Tevez spearheading their bid for glory, they could yet clinch the world title this year after impressing in the qualifiers. Anyway, a team of Argentina's quality can never be written off.

4. France

Though many don't think the French will get far this time round, i firmly believe that they have a great chance. While much attention is centred upon young players like Rooney, Theirry Henry is arguably the best player going into the World Cup. The Arsenal skipper has the ability to drag his country all the way to the final if he plays with the same passion and zest as he does for Arsenal. And let's not forget Zinedine Zidane, one of the best players ever to grace the football stage. Into the twilight of his career, there might just be enough energy left in him to inspire his country to victory.

5. Holland

The Dutch go into the competition with a formidable record in the qualifiers and a team built around proven players and young hungry players. With a deadly striker in Ruud Van Nistelrooy and tricky wingers like Arjen Robben, the Dutch are the dark horses to win the World Cup in my opinion.

Well folks, that's the lowdown on the top teams to watch out for this world cup. I can't seem to load up pictures at the moment, so just enjoy the chunky paragraphs till Friendster allows me to post up pictures at a later date. In the meantime, stay happy!

POP!!!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, just in case you missed ray's post, i have successfully completed BMT! Today was officially my last day in Tekong as a recruit and now, i'm all set to for my block leave happening today till next week.

So let's talk about what DID happen to me during the course of my BMT training.

1. Survived a 7 days field camp that was hell to say the least.
2. Scored a respectable 25 shots out of 32 for live firing.
3. Endured a gruelling 24km route march.

AND.....

4. Graduated unscathed from Viper Company, one of the toughest companies in BMTC School 2!

Anyway, now that i'm alive and still kicking after BMT, you guys can be sure that i'll be looking to post here as often as i can.

Half the year gone and i'm pretty certain everyone must be getting very excited with the onset of June because it's WORLD CUP month!!! YAY!

2006-06-04T22:22:00.000+08:00

BLOGGING TIME~~~!

So congratulations to Alvyn and Kelvin for completing the gruelling Basic Military Training! Whatever comes next won't matter coz you're now three months down, and mony more to come until ORD! Woohoo!

I think u need to give your thanks now for so many things that did not happen to you during BMT. Like these:

1. Kena charged by unruly commanders ; bye bye to uni!
2. Got possessed! Woooooo~~~ Rmb to bring the Tentera Singapura crest with you wherever you go!
3. Malfunctioning grenade which explodes in your face even without throwing! Now that would be a pretty sight.
4. Got lost in Tekong during field camp and route marches! I don't think a jungle navigational course during recruit times is advisable...
5. Died in live firing due to losers who point the gun at you and say "Eh how come my weapon can't put to safe mode ah?"

And of course there are the less enjoyable parts of things which also did not happen to you:
1. Movies did not hapen.
2. Towning did not happen.
3. LANning did not happen.
4. Good food did not happen.
5. And a pass in IPPT did not happen!

Woot.

Isn't army great?

Ray the Bay-onet. HAHAHA.

2006-05-27T00:28:00.000+08:00

There's something about listening to Christmas songs that brightens up your day and seemingly sends you into another magical world where you can forget all worries and anxieties. Trust me, it's a nice day and the prefect weather to listen to Christmas songs, so do it if you happen to read this entry now at like 3.30pm this sunday afternoon on Mothers Day. Two of my favourite Christmas songs have got to be White Christmas and Do They Know It's Christmas Time At All.

We're only 10 entries more away from our 200th post on this blog! That's something to cheer about!

One more month to the end of BMT for Kelv and myself! After that, let's hope that we never have to set foot in Tekong EVER again! So anyway a little bit about my army life which is coming along nicely.. (shoot yourself if you believed that last bit)

I've finished all outfield activities and this is really very important because it has serious profound implications on my life. What it means is that:

1) No more groping in the dark trying to pack my bag.

2) No more squeezing generic-tasting disgusting little bits of yucky prepacked, processed food out of green packets for lunch and dinner.

3) No more cohabiting with insects and bugs such as centipedes, gigantic red ants, mosquitoes, flies etc.

4) No more having to lie flat on my belly in thorny bushes with a god knows how heavy field pack on my back and a rifle.

5) No more smearing camo cream on my face or having to go several days without bathing!

So you see, life can go back to normal, or as close to normal as it gets in army, with the end of field camp and outfield activities. Yays to that.

Important Notice!

Hey guys! We'll be looking to plan a CLASS CHALET later this year during the December period. Yes, i know it's only May, but if we don't start thinking the chalet early, it won't ever come true. So just take note people that there should be a chalet coming up at the end of the year, most probably on a weekend and hopefully, by notifying you guys early, we'll have a healthy turn out. Watch this space!

Hey guys! It's been a while since i blogged solo here. After two weeks of confinement, one of which was spent in the jungles of tekong surrounded by mud, dirt and insects of all shapes and sizes, it's a massive relief to be back home. Allow me to daydream a little in this blog entry today.......

5 movies I want to watch

2. Chilling out at a hot spring spa resort in Japan where there are warm tatami beds, fragrant green tea and a relaxing spa session followed by a dinner with the freshest sashimi.

3. Lounging at a cafe along the streets of Barcelona, basking in the warm catalan sun, enjoying tapas.

4. Going skiing in Switzerland where temperatures are minus zero degree celsius and snow is falling gently onto the ground

5. Conspiring to escape PE lesson in the morning, assuming it's not a public holiday tomorrow.

The person I want to meet most at the moment

Jose Mourinho- So that i can congratulate him on having won the EPL title yet again and finding out just how he intends to stop United next season from taking back the championship.

Trivia of the Day

While I was at Hougang Mall yesterday, I spotted our beloved Econs teacher with his family taking a stroll about the mall too. Quite honestly, i have no idea why in the world would he want to come to Hougang Mall seeing that it's probably one of the worst mall in the country. Perhaps it holds some economic interest for him..... Hmmmmm....

Ok, before i continue with this senseless ramblings, i better stop. Feel free to adopt this template and let us all know what are the five things you want to do at the moment or what are the five places you want to be at right now. Bye!

hey people, remember the excerpt from a johnny depp interview i posted last year? well im not sure if any of u liked it but here's another one! and no worries, it's not depp again, this time it's bale, christian bale. yes, that bloke who's putting on his herb-mint facial mask u see below in the ego entry. here's an excerpt from an E! online interview in 2000--around the time when American Psycho is opening in theatres--in which he tackles sex, underwear, and horse manure...

so, how does it feel to be most downloaded man on the internet? how does it feel to be adored like that?
is that true? i didn't know this. it always feels really remote from my own life--if everyone really knew what a jerk i am in real life, i wouldn't be so adored in the slightest. i consider it very flattering, but i don't dwell on it too much.

are you an avid reader?
i love w. somerset maugham. i also had an obsession with 'Watership Down' when i was younger--i read it, like, eight times in a row. i don't know why. i've always been a real animal lover, and it was all about rabbits, so i found it really fascinating.

how difficult are sex scenes with cameras and people right in front of you?
it's bizzare, but if you're an actor, there have to be times when you're ready to step up to the plate and make a fool of yourself and possibly embarrass yourself. but i find that with sex scenes, they always become quite funny and the opposite of sexy. a movie set is really not an intimate place at all. everyone knows you're going to be taking your clothes off, so it's surprising how easy it becomes. there's more nervousness before--the sort of anticipation--as opposed to when you're actually doing it.

how does your wife feel about such sex scenes?
she thinks they're great--hilarious, even. her favourite scene is me running naked, covered in blood, down a corridor with a chainsaw in my hand. she doesn't really understand why everyone finds it so controversial.

what is your favourite time of the day?
that would be nighttime. for fun? i love sleeping. i'm a very lazy person. i love doing nothing. i just love to sleep.

tell me something you don't want other people to know about you.
why would i tell you that? i'm not a personality, i'm an actor. i shouldn't do that, and i've no desire to, anyway.

what day-to-day simple little things make you smile?
i guess the same as everybody else: eating, drinking and sleeping.

tell us something you havent mentioned in another interview.
i'll tell you nothing scandalous! i used to play on a rugby team. interesting, huh? i'm sure i've never said that before since i don't play sports now on a regular basis. i've a dirt bike, i run--away from people. i'd like to play more football--er, soccer. (bale is english, not american)

is there any difference between a gay love scene and a straight one?
well, yeah, because he was behind me. you know, position. it's just basic biology.

have you had any encounters that you can share with the fans?
i had a strange meeting with someone when i was younger. i was sitting with some friends in a cafe. a couple of girls sat down with us, and one of them told us she was dating christian bale, which was sort of bizzare. and my friends were saying things like, 'oh, wow, he must be horrible! i'd hate to be him!' then i said, 'you idiot, that's me!' and she sort of ran from the coffeeshop.

do you have sexy underwear?
right now--at the moment? sexiness is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? i havent bought any sexy underwear. some people may find it sexy, even though i don't intend to buy them for that. why am i talking about what underwear i wear?!

if you had to live on a remote island, what else would u take besides your wife?
horseshit! haha! i love the smell of it.

what are the best things about being an actor? and the worst?
the best is working with other talented people; the worst is working with really untalented people. oh, and being asked questions about what underwear you wear!

what's the worst advice you've ever received?
well, maybe it shows i'm not a good listener, because i can't think of any good or bad advice. it's quite possibly yours--that i should get used to being asked about my underwear!

2006-04-16T15:30:00.000+08:00

K now. Considering how this blog has been polluted by Alvyn and Weikee's moronic posts, I have decided to come up with something to save it. Of course, the rest of the post starting from the end of this paragraph will not be original as I have not the time to watch Star Wars that many times. Or read movie reviews, by the way. Cuz I'm not Weikee!! Haha. Here goes.

Guess who said that??

Top ten lines from the Empire Strikes Back.
1. I must've hit it pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that, huh kid?
2. Possible he came in through the south entrance.
3. Hurry up, Golden Rod...
4. But now we must eat. Come good food, Come!
5. That's ok, I'd like to keep it on manual control for a while.
6. There's an awful lot of moisture in here.
7. Control, control... You must learn control!!!
8. Size matters not... Judge me by my size, do you?
9. I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me!
10. Would it help if I got out and pushed?

Alright! Now that was more interesting than the male ego, wasn't it? Here's more!

Top Ten Lines from don't know which Star Wars.
1. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.
2. Curse my metal body. I wasn't fast enough!
3. Look at the size of that thing!!
4. Sorry about the mess...
5. You CAME in that thing? You're braver than I thought!
6. Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?
7. You've got something jammed in here real good.
8. Put that thing away before you get us all killed!!
9. Luke, at that speed, do you think you'll be able to pull out in time?
10. Get on top of it!

THE END...

Hey guys! We're Back!

Yeah we know it's been a while, but hey you know what they say about absence making the heart grow fonder and how it's better to be late than never. So as promised, today we're talking about the MALE EGO!

The Male Ego is best described in this picture you see here with Jude Law in this Oh-My-God-Why-Do-I-Look-Like-Inhumane-Perfection-Personified pose.

Male Ego fact 1
All guys have an ego, big or small!
If a guy says he doesn't have an ego, kick him in the arse because he's lying!

Why guys need an ego

1. To dominate girls (norman we know you're giving us the thumbs up here)

2. Suppress feminism (make that two thumbs up now)

Basically these two points are interlinked. If guys do not upkeep their ego and allow girls to trample over them, they will end up looking like this.

Now who in the right frame of mind will want to look like that?? And trust us, girls will trample over you because feminism is very much on the rise. So only by oppressing the girls will you save yourself from transforming into this eyesore.

3. Give meaning to our life.

With an ego, life is worth the living because it's like our inner self and when we feed it, nurture it, make it feel good, we'll feel good and life will be good. The food we eat will taste awesome, the air we breathe will smell fresh, we'll walk every step with a little spring. Ahhh life is good with the ego.

Male Ego Fact 2
The Backstreet Boys do NOT enhance the Male Ego with their sappy love songs about needing girls! It reeks of allowing girls to dominate us guys!

Enhancing the Male Ego

When it comes to enhancing the Male Ego, just remember one thing. It's all about ME, ME and no one else but ME. So with that in mind...

1. Make yourself look good.
Shower daily, mask your face at least three times a week

Learn the art of chilling and when you do all of the abovementioned, you'll end up looking great like Christian Bale here.

When you look good, you'll feel good and the Male Ego will increase!

2. Enjoy the finer things in life
Eat well

Dress well

and last by not least, mix with the right crowd

Alvyn: I really wonder why we need an ego sometimes...
Wei Kee: Oh man!! How can you ask this sort of a question??? How on earth can you dominate girls without an ego?!?!
Alvyn: Erm ok.... So it's important to have an ego. And thanks to this great entry, i know how to build up the Male Ego now. Thing is...
Wei Kee: Yea?
Alvyn: I need a picture of the ultimate male egoness.
Wei Kee: Ahhh well, this is it. Swaggering off into the night with two hot chicks. Nothing else beats it!

UP NEXT: what you guys have been waiting for!!! ---> ALVYN-WEIKEE joint entry on..........THE MALE EGOOOO

2006-04-09T22:32:00.000+08:00

ok i shall blog, and i'm going to talk about one of my two passions in life aside from star wars, and that's......BATMAN!!! yes guys, i'm suddenly into batman again for some reason and i just feel like rambling on about it right now.. so as far as i'm concerned, only 3 of the 5 existing batman films are worth mentioning, that are Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992), and Batman Begins (2005). Batman Forever (1995) and Batman and Robin (1997) both suck 16 flavours of ass and nearly killed the franchise until Begins rescued it last year.

so which is the best batman film? or rather, which is my favourite? it's a difficult dilemma, and a nearly impossible task. that's like asking me who's the prettiest among monica bellucci, natalie portman and camilla belle. each of them brings a different flavour to the table, see?

let's start with Batman. what i like about this film is the fact that it's revolutionary, yea you read that right, it's downright unimaginably creative and overturns the conventional notion that comic books are kiddie stuff. this film made comic book movies something to be taken seriously and not as juvenile trash. you guys might find it hard to figure out just how influential this film was, but it basically transformed everyone's mindset about the idea of Batman from his campy roots since the 1960s tv serials. it's safe to say that without 'Batman', there wouldn't be X-Men, Spiderman, or any other respectable and critically lauded comic book movies which we currently are enjoying. ok crap, i've harped on too much already, need to move on...

ok so Batman Returns...it's a weird and bizzare film to say the least. it's got the same director, the same lead actor, the same composer, but the whole feel of the film is just different from the first one, different, but not necessarily worse. it has another sort of appeal from that of Batman. first of all, the tone is almost nightmarish, extremely dark and brooding and depressing, and 90% of the film is set at night. the characters are highly psychological disturbed creatures and it's not a kid-friendly film, with plenty of violence and sexual innuendos. but it's precisely due to the darkness gothic nature of the film that i like this film. i find that this sort of atmosphere fits the notion of the 'Dark Knight' perfectly. it's certainly not a feel-good film, and not the typical summer blockbuster crowd-pleaser. it feels more like a comic-book ART film, with complex characterisations and subtle art designs which reflects batman's psychology. ok, the whole bleak vibe of the film just did it for me, so ok, on to the last one..

Batman Begins is a whole other sort of beast. it's a 180 degrees turn from the style of the above two batman films. whereas Batman and Batman Returns are extremely stylised films with superbly distinctive art direction under the visionary eye of Tim Burton, Begins tend to be more down to earth and sticking strictly to realism. it's almost devoid of any trace of being a comic book movie and more of a dramatic character study of a guy called Batman, why and how he became the hero. it sounds mundane, but in practice, the film works wonders. it's fascinating to see how batman acquires his training and prowess, his wonderful toys and gadgets, and his true motive to don the cape and cowl. and this time, the greatest appeal of this film lies in the fact that it focuses 100% on batman, with the villains taking a back seat instead of the vice versa scenario in the first two films.

ok so with that, i think Batman succeeds as a terrifically styled action-packed movie that made audiences worldwide understand the real batman, the dark and vengeful vigilante. Batman Returns improves upon the style and deepens the atmosphere, which are very important aspects of a batman movie to me personally. finally, begins triumphs as the first movie to truly care about the development of batman as a plausible character from start to finish, and that's the most wonderful tribute a movie can make to a comic-book-originated character. yea..so i love them all!

2006-04-09T19:49:00.000+08:00

Ok seeing that this blog is almost dying from Alvyn's incessant blogging, I have decided to save it by blogging myself!! Muahaha and blogging at a time when Alvyn's probably on the fast craft back to Tekong now...

Ok. that's all I suppose. Nothing much to blog about other than norman and weikee simply own the tagboard and that daniel, shane and the girls and simply missing from the blog.

Ok cool stuff.

Kneel, 04A1A blog, and rise again, newly dubbed as the Alvyn. Norman, Raymond, and Weikee Blog.

The end... T_T

2006-04-02T00:27:00.000+08:00

I guess i speak for most, if not all, the guys when i say that i'm having probably the shittest moment of my life right now. Two days of freedom every week for is simply not enough to do all the things i want to do and even then, it isn't entirely freedom in that sense because i'm constantly weighted down by the knowledge that all too soon, the weekends will end and then it's back to the island. It's hard to have fun when you have that at the back of your mind.

It isn't possible to capture my feelings about this life in words because no amount of words will be able to adequately express all that i feel. You got to live it to know just how bad it can be. Of course there are some funny moments, but they don't last.

Ok why am i blogging about this? I have no idea myself, but i guess the blog could do with some self pity and not just all cheery entries all the time. Oh but don't get me wrong. It's not like i can't handle it, just that i don't really like it.

Hopefully we'll be able to have a class outing in the near future. Well, till next week then and please blog thank you!

2006-03-24T20:43:00.000+08:00

Hi guys! Right, this is my second post in a day but i figure it's ok because i wouldn't be able to blog for long periods in the week. So anyhow, i realised that so far on the blog, we have done many TV programme reviews and the occasional movie review, but we still haven't done a single restaurant/food review! Can't believe we've forgotten such an important aspect of our lives!

Don't worry i'm not going to do a review of the food we get in Tekong because frankly it's not worth my time or effort and if i wanted to, i could probably summarise the quality of the food we get there in one word. No, rather, i want to tell you guys about this lovely japanese restaurant kelv and i went to the night before we got our As results back.

Feeling pretty adventurous that night, we decided to stay clear of the restaurants along mainstream Orchard Road and venture somewhere we've never been before. Boy am i glad we did because it was a gamble that paid off handsomely as we found a gem of a restaurant along Cuppage Road. Located on the second floor of one of the many shophouses there, Tamaya Dining Bar is the place to go if you're sick of the usual Japanese cuisine like teppanyaki or yakitori or tempura.

The moment we stepped into the place, any doubts we might have had about it were banished because of the number of japanese people who were dining there; a sign that the place is authentically japanese and serves good japanese food.

Forget about gigantic sized servings here because at Tamaya, the emphasis is on the quality and presentation of the food rather than the quantity. The menu is extensive and varies between authentically japanese food and fusion japanese. Portions are deliberately kept small so as to encourage sharing and to allow customers to sample as many of the dishes as possible.

Naturally we were very much intrigued by the fusion japanese food they had on offer and if not for kelv's insistence, i would have ordered the charcoal broiled paper! Imagine that! But no we didn't have it in the end haha. Instead we settled for ordering several dishes to share.

The fried cheese we started with was pretty well done and tastefully presented with slices of apple by the side. The rice balls with salmon had a distinct japanese feel to it- bland on its own until you eat them with the accompanying pickles. We also had charcoal broiled chicken skin which was done to a crispy finish as well as deep fried chicken, quail eggs and vegetables. The Hamburg steak sounded really interesting but sadly it failed to impress because it tasted more like beef patties in the end.

The both of us unanimously agreed that the best dish of the night was the charcoal broiled foie gras. Served on a bed of rocket leaves, the dish oozed chic quality just by the look of it. We could taste the charcoal on the foie gras, much like how barbequed food taste like, and quite literally it melted in our mouths leaving behind a sweet lingering aftertaste. It was so good we could have walked out of the restaurant right then, contented and utterly satisfied with the meal.

Prices are reasonable, ranging between 4 dollars to 15 dollars per dish. All in all, it was a very nice meal and i highly recommend Tamaya Dining Bar for those who want to try something different.

Well, i certainly don't mind becoming a food/entertainment journalist in future. It was fun writing this review and i'll love to read more reviews about anything. Till next time!

Hi guys and girls! I'm finally back after two long weeks on that god forsaken island! For all the guys who have been through BMT, i'm sure they'll agree with me that Tekong is the worst place to be in Singapore without a shadow of doubt. It's been a rough two weeks for me and Kelv, but the good news is we're still alive!

And yet when i checked the blog last night, i nearly collapsed from shock because i discovered that nobody has updated for over two weeks! Norman has done a great video for the class and i believe you guys can watch it on the blog or if not, he'll send it to anyone who wants one.

So anyhow, now that i'm out for three days or so, hopefully we can kickstart the blog again. Just blog about anything under the sun, that'll be fine.

alvyn

2006-03-23T21:44:00.000+08:00

Hey guys, here's a quick tribute to 04a1a. Please enjoy. (I recommend just pausing the video and then waiting for it to load completely. It's worth a watch.)

By the way, this is a welcome back video for Alvyn and Kelvin too.

2006-03-08T23:58:00.000+08:00

Well guys, this is it. I can hear Madame Tekong calling to me now and she's saying "Recruit Ng, get your arse over here, i'm going to torture you now! Muahahha! I've got my pull up bars and jungles waiting for you, not to mention my sadistic sergeants who just can't wait to knock you down at the slightest offence, my fantastic canteen food which will make jamie oliver go berserk, my oh so 'clean' toilets which will make the dirtiest toilet in China seem like heaven. And guess what? We've only scratched the surface of life in Tekong!"

Yeah well, sorry to disappoint lady, but i'm going to kick your arse!(yea rite.......)

But seriously, i hope things aren't too bad there and that i'll get out alive in two weeks time. Till then, have fun people and take care! Keep this blog cool!

alvyn

2006-03-06T03:23:00.000+08:00

HEY KIDS
i'll be changing the whole look of this place soon.
We need to keep things interesting here or this avenue of communication will die down.
And good job to all of you for doing so well for the A's!

See you on Wednesday!Be there or....you'll die.(not be squared or what crap)

2006-03-01T22:20:00.000+08:00

Of the CT's performance in the A levels, i have only this to say : it was so midyears and prelims all over again, just that the grades generally moved up a few notches. Thus, i daresay and i don't care if some people from some other classes disagree, but i think our class has got to be the fill-in-the-blanks( Just a hint: its two words and the first word starts with the letter B) in college!

So well done dudes! And please, please keep in touch!

alvyn

2006-02-28T12:52:00.000+08:00

Boys and girls! We are about 24 hours from the release of the A level results! After that, the end of junior college education as we know it will surely be upon us. Well, i'm feeling less jittery now and i hope everyone's cool too. Looking forward to seeing you guys tomorrow!

-alvyn

2006-02-26T01:12:00.000+08:00

hey guys!!! did you read the papers today? A levels results coming out on Wednesday!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!! do you feel panicked? worried? i'm sure that the butterflies will start fluttering around when you hear this news. my recommendation to destress: chocolate!!!! why is it that no one ever seems to give any chocolate. *grumbles*

how is everyone's life going? busy, tiring? i recently read in a magazine article that an effective way to lose weight is to add pepper to a glass of tomato juice and drink it. can you imagine that?! i think it would taste pretty awful, and i wonder who in their right mind would want to drink it. what good would pepper do? that is so weird!

well, see you guys on wednesday, 2pm, at nyjc. don't be late (as if!) and all the best! :)

2006-02-23T15:42:00.000+08:00

Hi guys! Still no news about the results and its starting to get to me. Oh well, we'll just have to wait and i'm quite sure we'll get it next week latest.

Anyway, I came across this piece of absurd news the other day. Apparently in Taiwan, a bakery came up with this ingenious idea of printing the initials LV on a bread and it has gone down a storm with the locals. These people are so brand conscious to the extent that they're willing to buy anything that might have a hint of connection to branded goods. I mean, it's not even a real LV bread, it's just the initials! Either these people love branded stuff so much or they're just desperate to say that they use, or in this case, eat branded stuff. I can't imagine though...

Tom: Hey, what did you have for breakfast today?
Dick: Oh a piece of LV bread, you know, like Louis Vuitton

If people are really that brand conscious, then i think i'll go to all the big brands and buy a franchise to sell bread and pastries using their names. So expect Gucci sandwiches, Prada pralines, Givenchy cupcakes, Dunhill scones, Polo muffins, Louis Vuitton cossiants, Valentino cookies etc. And to top it all off, i'll open my shop in Paragon. Now, how's that for an entrepreneurial brainwave!

HEY GUYS WASSSSUPPP PIES! gee its been a long time since i've been here and i think the blog is on its way to a sloowww silent death! hyak! ooh anyway i'm back with some tv goss. seriously, my tv addiction is starting to get a little out-of-control. i watch a minimum of 3 hours a day. think that's little? oh well maybe but i never used to watch so much! its like when i'm out, some crave food, some crave clubbing, i crave certain tv shows.

mary: omg i crave sushi!
jane: omg i crave zouk!
mich: omg i crave desperate housewives!

hmm anyway i wanted to get a blog where i can give my tv reviews and do that thesmokinggun thing. but i figured when i get a blog, i'll start the whole damn whining thing like "someone is so irritating and should get a life" where i won't state who that someone is and be a bitch without balls (hmm hey..) or i'll write a whole entry cursing something/someone and regret it a few months down the road. so oh well. YOU GUYS are lucky and in for a treat here! hur hur.

back to tv - its getting out of hand! so i started reading. i recently bought this book 'The Devil Wears Prada' and its complete trash! fashionista bull. goodness its a waste of my eyeball time! so its back to tv!

the run of The Practice is over. sob sob. i've been watching it ever since i was in sec 3!!!! my very first serious drama. its one of the best shows i've ever watched. hell its one of the only intellectual shows i watch. very gripping, complex characters and damn right about human nature. but it's over. so its bye lindsey, bobby, ellenor, eugene, ALAN (ooh-la-la), jaime, tara.. its been a nice ride.

as you guys know (but don't care), season 2 of laguna beach has ended. so there goes the practice and laguna beach.. what do i watch now? i have watched every episode of Friends, swore off Smallville and Gilmore Girls for having the same damn plot every week and really can't stand local shows (omg has anyone caught Police and Thief.. it borders on pathetic-hilarious but serioussllyy.. its really bad) so here are some hot new shows that i have discovered, or re-discovered.

1. The Nanny.

i remember walking past the tv when i was younger and this jewish-looking woman with a terrible voice really captivated me. i never understood the jokes when i was young, but now i really get it! its on channel 17. there are many repeats for this show throughout the weekday. personally, i watch the 12.15 one. its really reaaally hilarious. here's an excerpt..

fran's mum: ugh these rock cakes taste like cork!
fran: MA! you're eating the coaster!

hahaha they have really funny conversations. zipzap its fast and funny. also, check out the very hot Maxwell Sheffield, the broadway producer. the guy who hires a nanny although in his house "two out of three kids are eligible for voting". the very proper butler has really cute one-liners. a must watch. the 90's version of I Love Lucy.

2. Jamie's Italy

great food in the streets and hillsides of italy. none of the glamour stuff going on, but really down to the nittygritty basic elements of food. olive oil, garlic, herbs.. gee what more can a girl ask for? jamie loooovvesss fish and so do i! he does fish real good. not like i actually taste it, but you know. an added bonus: the scenery and awesome lifestyle in italy. its so unlike anything i've seen before. channel 16. don't really know when.

fish stuffed with herbs.

grilled tuna.

creams. for desert.

awww getting hungry.

3. Fashion Avenue

i see a post down there talking about it. gosh this show is awesome. jodie kidd is not like hot-hot and neither is she eloquent, but the shopping is so freaaakiinngg goooooood. gosh the numerous vintage shops they go to are seriously vintage! not like the "vintage" shops you see in singapore. trash. and they shop at high end places like duh. my favourites would be what i see in D&G (i'm starting to really fall in love with this brand's designs), versace (awesome awesome!), etro (looking good!) and of course everything on madison avenue. vintage thrills. channel 16 on sundays. its a repeat i think. don't know the actual one.

4. AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL!!

i'm really into this shit-ass show now. its addictive. its one of the shows i crave when i'm drinking water, walking home or sleeping. I LOVE LISA! she's so cool and crazy ahhh she is simply the bomb, people.

LISA!!!

she's ebulliently charming. just have to watch it. kim is not bad too, something about her that is kinda appealing.
okay i'm tired now bye!

2006-02-18T18:17:00.000+08:00

This is for Michelle.This parody is dammmnnnnnn funny hahahhaha

ok bye

Pes C training sounds good, Alvyn? Too bad for you though, you're in Pes A!! Haha. So here's a prelude of your time-table for weeks to come. I'm not going to follow Norman's format, cuz our time-table is F***ing flexible and anything can take place at any time of the day. So I'll just highlight some of the interesting trainings you're going to have.

PHYSICAL TRAINING
1. IPPT skills training - Rather obvious. You train to pass your IPPT which is a NAPFA silver btw. Includes chin-up regimes, duck walks, tuck jumps, push-ups etc.
2. 30:60 - Infamous. You sprint for 30 seconds and jog for 60 seconds, for several cycles, which increases as time goes on. This will gradually evolve into 60:120. you get the idea.
3. Ability Group Run(AGR) - After your IPPT Categorisation Test, you'll be split into groups based on your 2.4 timing. You will then run with those within your ability range. Always shags you out.
4. Combat Physical Training 1(CPT 1) - Includes ten excercises which are supposed to make you combat fit. Note: Physically fit does not equal to combat fit. AKA Bullshit. The exercises have interesting names like Windmill, Bend-leg-body-twist, Push-ups, Squat Benders, Forward Lunge etc, so that you don't get bored.
5. Combat Physical Training 2(CPT 2) -Another bullshit. Basically you just shag yourself out with huge repetitions of push-ups and sit-ups.

Did i miss anything out, shane and daniel?

TECHNICAL TRAINING
1. Foot drill - Marching around under the hot sun. What more can I say? Turn left, turn right, turn left again, now turn backwards etc etc. Cool. Now all the enemy needs to do is to throw one grenade and all of us die.
2. Arms drill - Foot drill with your rifle. The end.
3. Basic Close Combat Training(BCCT) - A lesson where you learn how to fight at close range. Basically a rojak of all different martial arts which the SAF created. Now all we need to do is to wait for the enemy to run out of bullets and come look for us in our hiding spot.
4. Individual Marksmanship Training(IMT) - The coolest training around. Literally. They bring you to this huge air-conditioned complex where you shoot a fake rifle at a computer screen. Must pass this in order to shoot real bullets at the live range.
5. M16S1 Technical Handling - You have to learn how to strip and assemble your rifle within one minute each. Not too difficult. And then you have to load a full magazine of 30 rounds in 50 seconds. This is harder. Then you wrap it all up with the different drills you need to perform if your rifle jams or whatever. In a war, if your weapon jams up, just lie on the floor and pretend to be dead.

Too many things to type, not enough time... Shane or Daniel can continue this if they like. Anyway hope you enjoy all of it Alvyn. I know I did.

Ray =)

In a continuation of my randomness today, as i was cooking my dinner just now, i realised that one of the most humiliating acts a cook can possibly endure is that of people not finishing the food you've prepared for them. It totally destroys the cook's self-esteem and personally, i would perceive it as an insult; a low blow of sorts.

I'm saying this not because people has rejected my food, but because of an incident at the coffeeshop outside college(don't ask why i was there for those who don't know, which is like everyone except kelvin). So anyhow, i didn't finish the mee pok i ordered because it was really awful and as the uncle came to clear the bowl, he was like "Eh why don't you finish the last two fishballs" and i muttered something incoherent along the lines of "i've got no appetite" which was partly true.

Though i didn't think much of it then, but in hindsight, i realised something in the tone of the uncle, as he said those words to me, conveyed a sense of sadness and rejection, and right now, i feel so bad because he must have been feeling quite upset that i didn't like his food or something.

So I'm truly sorry Uncle, if you're reading this somehow, but i didn't mean to insult you! Though i must say in all fairness, the mee pok was really rubbish, its only saving grace coming from the fact that it was only 2 bucks haha.

Next time guys, don't reject food openly unless its really bad and you can't stand the chef or something. Oh, but please don't eat the mee pok near school unless you're dying of hunger. Eat the roti prata or chicken rice if you must.

Hey guys, it's three more weeks to my enlistment!!!!!! Three more weeks before i can no longer strut around town, eat nice food, enjoy the comforts of my home, surf the net blah blah blah! The mere thought of it depresses me!

But you guys don't really care right haha(oh wait, kelvin does, because if i'm enlisting, it means he will similarly be enlisting too), so anyway, i just had to blog for the sake of blogging.
For all of five seconds, i swear i forgot the username and had to think hard( the first time in a while) to recall it. Nowadays i only use my brain to think about where to go to have fun, where to eat, where to shop, what to buy(basically all the brainless, hardly intellectually stimulating activities) etc etc.

And, not meaning to sound like some naggy old grandmother, but i'll love to read some of your entries instead of reading my own rants half the time.

By the way, i just have to say to weiks and norman that i love the sound of that pes C training. Give me some of that please!!! Keep the entries coming babies!

Ok that's the end of a totally meaningless blog entry. Till next time!

2006-02-12T14:44:00.000+08:00

3 more weeks to the end of BMT!!! CAN'T WAIT!!! For the past 3 weeks i've been living a very different sort of life from the time before i enlisted, those already enlisted will understand haha. ok let me give u an account of a typical day of a PES C recruit:

0530 wakes up, wash up and fill up water bottle
0545 water parade, during which we must shout out the SAF 7 core values of loyalty to country, leadership, discipline, professionalism, fighting spirit, ethics and care for soldiers, before we proceed to drink up half the bottle. march to the cookhouse for breakfast
0630 area cleaning, clean the bunk, platoon office etc.
0700 draw arms, during which the platoon of 35-40 will line up in a single file and rush to collect our rifles and sign a file all within 3 minutes. after that we will check our rifles to ensure there is no bullet in it
0715 wipe our oily rifles and lock them in the cupboard
0730 physical training, usually some workouts or running round the track
0800 - 1145 various activities depending on the training schedules, including lectures, drills, stand by area/bed (meaning the sergeants and officers will come round and inspect the bunks, corridors, staircase and toilet, or the arrangement of the items inside the cupboards and cabinets), practical lessons etc etc.
1145 march to cookhouse for lunch
1230 - 1730 various activities again ala morning, including route marches, more lessons, tests and etc.
1730 march to cookhouse for dinner
1800 some miscellaneous activities, generally less strenuous than the rest of the day
2000 send in arms, during which we'll check clear our rifles again to make sure there is no bullets in the rifle before sending in our rifles, again within 3 minutes
2030 RO (routine orders) during which the officer will inform us of the time to wake up, the time to fall in for breakfast, some recruit matters if any, etc etc. before RO there'll be water parade again where again we go through the same repetition of shouting the SAF 7 core values before drinking up half the bottle.
2100 generally the beginning of admin time, during which ur free to do anything u want such as showering, washing up, laundry, calling ur loved ones etc etc.
2230 lights out, time to get in bed, officers and sergeants will sometimes walk around to check and make sure no one is anywhere but in their own beds.

doesn't sound too hard eh? haha yea, pes C training is quite a few notches less tough than what the pes A/B goes through. but that doesn't make army life any less monotonous and dull and uncomfortable and whatever. ok i'm gonna sleep and book in again tonight, sianzzz

2006-02-07T20:17:00.000+08:00

For those needing a good read...

I highly recommend Tom Hodgkinson's How To Be Idle. Yup, that's right, how to be idle! At last! A book teaching you how to chill! Read this book and your perceptions on some of the everyday activities we do will change forever! The style of writing is highly amusing and witty. The ultimate must-have for anyone wishing to live to the ripe old age of 80. Banish all thoughts of work and learn how to be idle right now!

For those needing a good listen...

This is simply one of the best CD i've gotten thus far this year. Yellowcard's high energy rock returns in their second album and Lights and Sounds is arguably better than Ocean Avenue. While still singing about would-be and broken relationships primarily, the lyrics have improved tremendously, so much so that they tug at your heartstrings and it's almost impossible not to feel for the songs. Any band that has a violinist is definitely fantastic. Get this album right now because it's just so good!

Kaiser Chiefs' Employment oozes creative class! Everything about this album makes you feel excited from its packaging to the songs themselves. It's not hard to see why the Kaiser Chiefs has been hailed as one of the most exciting breakthrough bands from Britian because their music is unique, as you'll be able to tell once you've heard their hits such as "Everyday I love you less and less" and " I predict a riot"; i can't even begin to describe it, that's how special they are. Singing with typical british wit, the Kaiser Chiefs is definitely one of the bands to watch out for in the future.

For those seeking new interesting TV programmes...

If you've been suffering from Laguna Beach hangover(which is probably like no one save Mich), listen up because this new TV programme on Channel 16 Travel and Living will blow you away! It's called Fashion Avenue and airs every Thursday at 9pm. Hosted by supermodel Jodie Kidd, this show is all about SHOPPING!

Right, i'm sure you girls are getting all excited now(how can you not?!?), so let me just say that it's an awesome show. Basically, every week they'll present one famous shopping avenue in the world and Jodie Kidd will go shopping there with a certain amount of money! So like last week, she was in London and Paris and oh man, it was fantastic looking at all the shopping. Like she says "this is the show that has everything a woman wants" and i can't agree more. Be sure to catch it; its so good you'll regret if you don't haha.

Ok that's it from me for now. Have fun people!

Hi guys! Happy new year! Hopefully, this new year break has gone well for you all. Mine has been routine as usual, just a lot of sitting at home waiting for people to come, eating many heavy meals, snacking a lot, playing some games, slacking, chilling etc.
It was awesome meeting up with most of the guys over the new year and i think we should do that more often. You know, like catch a movie or something like that. And the girls too. Yea, so like a class outing. Oh and shane, it was great shopping with you again haha.
Anyway, i think we'll be getting our A level results back this month, so i guess we'll be seeing each other real soon.

hey guys,
haven't posted here in a long time.
anyway, firstly, happy chinese new year!!! by reading th8is post, you automatically have to transfer 10% of your ang pow earnings to me the next time you see me.
moving away from extreme lameness, here are some updates on my life in the army.
well, speaking honestly, things are begining to look up. field camp in all truthfulness was actually really fun and enjoyable, certainly one of the more memorable experiences.
next week i have sit test so that means i'll be confined another weekend, so that suks. anyhow, BMT is gonna be over soon, in about a months time. yea it's quite sad leaving all my new found friends, haha yea then there'll be another phase of adjustment period. what do i get out of this? more guy friends, which brings my pathetic guy:girl friend ratio to 3827592735875873875:1.
oh yea, forgot to tell you guys who haven't been to field camp yet. if you get either pontay chicken or cabbage rice as your combat rations, just throw them away.

I came across this really hilarious story in the newspaper the other day and it's so funny i couldn't stop thinking about it haha.

In the wake of the extreme cold temperatures that have swept across Europe, a 7 year old boy in Germany decided to find out how cold minus eleven degrees celsius was by licking a frozen lamp post. His tongue was frozen into place as a result and the Red Cross had to be called in to rescue him, which they did by thawing his tongue with hot water.

This kid either had too much time or he's that desperate for an icepop. But it tickled my funny bone, so cheers!

2006-01-23T22:49:00.000+08:00

And then there were two....................
as Wei Kee and Norman leaves the mainland for the beautiful sunny resort fondly known as Pulau Tekong. So if there's a war now, Kelv and I will be running for safety with the girls while the other five dudes cover our backs. Oh man, how sissy is that?? I feel like a wimp now, but whatever, since our turns will come really soon too.

2006-01-17T00:11:00.001+08:00

hey peeps, i've been reading 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis and it's a seriously hilarious piece of literature. its narrator is patrick bateman, a wall street banker by day and a serial killer by night. this is a satire on the consumerist spirit of the 1980s and the extremely soulless and hollow sense of humanity that pervaded the era. yea so as i said, it's a really funny book (to me at least) and i thought i'd like, show some extracts in an attempt to save the blog from dying. yea... ok.

scott starts telling me about his new compact disc player...
'it's Aiwa,' scott's saying. 'you've got to hear it. the sound' - he pauses, closes his eyes in ecstacy, chewing on corn bread - 'is fantastic.'
'well you know, scottie, the Aiwa is okay.' oh holy shit, dream on, scot-tie, i'm thinking. 'but Sansui is really top of the line.' i pause, then add, 'i should know, i own one.'
'but i thought Aiwa was top of the line.' scott looks worried but not yet upset enough to please me.
'no way, scott,' i say. 'does Aiwa have digital remote control?'
'yeah,' he says.
'computer controls?'
'uh-huh.' what a complete and total dufus.
'does the system come with a turntable that has a metacrylate and brass platter?'
'yes,' the bastard lies!
'does your system have an....Accophase T-106 tuner?' i ask him.
'sure,' he says, shrugging.
'are you sure?' i say. 'think carefully.'
'yeah. i think so,' he says, but his hand shakes as it reaches for more of the corn bread.
'what kind of speakers?'
'well, Duntech wood,' he answers too quickly.
'so solly, dude. you've got to have the Infinity IRS V speakers,' i say. 'or - '
'wait a minute,' he interrupts. 'V speakers? i've never heard of V speakers.'
'see, that's what i mean,' i say. 'if you don't have the Vs, you might as well be listening to a goddamn Walkman.'
'what's the bass response on those speakers?' he asks suspiciously.
'an ultralow fifteen hertz,' i purr, enunciating each word.
that shuts him up for a minute. i sit back, satisfied at having stumped scott, but too quickly he regains his composure and says, 'anyway' - trying to act blissfully uncaring that he owns a cheap, shitty stereo - 'we bought the new Phil Collins today. you should hear how great 'Groovy Kind of Love' sounds on it.'

i find myself crouched in the doorway of what used to be Carly Simon's, a very hot J. Akail restaurant that closed last fall, and leaping out at a passing japanese delivery boy, i knock him off his bicycle and drag him into the doorway, his legs tangled somehow in the Schwinn he was riding which works to my advantage since when i slit his throat - easily, effortlessly - the spasmodic kicking that usually accompanies this routine is blocked by the bike, which he still manages to lift five, six times while he's choking on his own hot blood. i open the cartons of japanese food and dump their contents over him, but to my surprise instead of sushi and teriyaki and hand rolls and soba noodles, chicken with cashew nuts falls all over his gasping bloodied face and beef chow mein and shrimp fried rice and moo shu pork splatter onto his heaving chest, and this irritating setback - accidentally killing the wrong type of Asian - moves me to check where this order was going - Sally Rubinstein - and with my Mont Blanc pen to write i'm gonna get you too...bitch on the back of it, then place the order over the dead kid's face and shrug apologetically, mumbling 'uh, sorry' and recall that The Patty Winters Show this morning was about Teenage Girls Who Trade Sex For Crack.

hahaha ok this is getting kind of long. i'll stop here then.

2006-01-17T00:11:00.000+08:00

Hello people!!! Wei Kee and I are back to bring you all yet another one of our ever so interesting joint entries! This time, we're here to entertain you guys with a round up of some of our favourite TABLOID TALES! So brace yourselves!

Tabloid Tale #1 : White Noise makes some noise at Golden Globe 2006!
- The movie White Noise, starring Michael Keaton won big at the Golden Globe awards last night clinching the best movie of the year, seeing off the challenges of the likes of History of Violence. When stopped by this reporter, a visibly shellshocked Mr. Keaton expressed his delight that the movie had won and added that any movie that had him in it stood a great chance of being successful hits. Looks like we now know why Batman and Robin didn't do so well at the box office...

Tabloid Tale #2: "I quit!" says Mourinho... and you won't believe why!
-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has sensationally quit the football club despite leading the team to a commanding 16 point lead at the top of the English Premier League and it all boils down to the fact that he can no longer stand English food! He said " I am the Special One, but when i have to eat fish and chips all day, i don't feel special. No, i cannot stand it anymore. I have to move back to Portugal where they boil the fish instead of frying it all the time." Awww, we say poor Jose is probably just homesick.

Tabloid Tale #3: Luna Lovegood found!

- After a nation wide search, the character of Luna Lovegood has been cast and in a shocking turn of events, producers have decided to cast a virtual unknown from Singapore for the role and what's more, he's a guy! Yes, Luna Lovegood will be played by a Sinagporean male by the name of Tan Wei Kee!!! What clinched the role for Mr. Tan was the letter he wrote to the producers and we're proud to present an exclusive extract of this letter.
"well i no i am a boy but you no what ever.I really want this beacuse i got good makeing voices.And i love emma watson i would love to meet here she is my life i cant think about eney thing eles but her.Plzz let me in and tell them i can where a wig or get a guy part plzz its bin my dream to meet here since like 5 years ago!" Well he's got his wish, so watch out for Luna, because 'she's' coming to a screen near you!

Tabloid Tale #4: A's Catastrophe!

- Singaporean students who took their A Level Examinations in 2005 will be devastated(or relieved) to hear that ULCAS has misplaced an entire box full of A level scripts! While the exact details are sketchy, it is believed that the papers misplaced included scripts from the Economics paper and Biology paper. "I've no idea where the papers went to," says Mrs Neville, chief marker for the A level exams. " Perhaps George the doorman took them for rags and had them thrown away, that dork!"

Right guys, hope you enjoyed these tales! Presenting to you another masterpiece from the duo of alvyn and wei kee! Anyway, take care dudes, and don't forget that the release of the As results will be right after the new year break, so goodbye and good luck!

Letting your maid go on holiday while you're on a break yourself is a terribly bad idea, especially since that means you've got to stay home and accompany your grandma. So in light of the scenario described above, my days have been reduced to center upon several activities.

Activity 1
- Household chores! Which means mopping and sweeping the floor, washing the dishes, making my own bed (see, i can actually do these stuff) and cooking my own lunch!

Activity 2
- Taking long, and i really mean long, showers

Activity 3
-Talking to myself and my toys! Yup, in my desperate need to hold conversations, i have resorted to soliloquays (no evil iago plans here though don't worry) and uttering rubbish to my toys who must be getting really sick of me now.

Activity 4
- Using the computer which has to be the greatest invention of all times without which i'll be unable to surf the Internet or play CM or watch DVDs or listen to music or.... you get the idea

Activity 5
- Playing sports indoor. By this, i mean pitting my E grade tennis skills against the wall in anticipation of my date with a certain Roger Federer later this month in the Australian Open Final and practising my considerably better soccer skills in preparation for World Cup Germany 2006 with Rooney and co.

Activity 6
- Tuning into MTV and singing along to the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Lindsay Lohan, Backstreet Boys, Kanye West and basically every other artist who has a video on MTV. In fact, i'm quite surprised that my neighbours haven't called up the police yet, but then, i guess they're either quite deaf, can't be bothered or my singing's really that good in which case, why haven't they come asking for autographs???

OK, i can see the word L-O-S-E-R forming in your mouths now, so i better shut up.
Conclusion: I need to get a life, or as Norman likes to say, get a job!

-Chicken Little the not so little chicken

2006-01-05T01:52:00.000+08:00

SEE YOU RAYMOND! ALL THE BEST!!!

Maybe you can hook up with the other two dudes in there and campaign for a better life in army! Say Hi to them for me too!

And we definitely need more girls blogging and tagging! Or else, this blog will turn gay. So Angela, Emily, Karen, Michelle, Simin! BLOG! TAG!

2006-01-02T01:18:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year people!!! So to kickstart the new year and as the very first entry of 2006, i can't think of a better way than to post up some really really really great pictures of a really really really (her beauty has left me short of words) pretty girl!

ANNA POPPLEWELL! Get stuck in!

Hallo people! Tan Weikee and Alvyn Ng are back to bring you more entertaining entries! After the stunning success of our previous joint entry on prom outfits, we're here today and over the next two days to bring you:

A TRIBUTE TO 2005 -THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE

So how this is how it's going to be. We'll be reviewing the very best of everything that's happened in 2005 from movies to sporting moments and our very own review of the college year as seen from our class point of view. So to get started, we have...

TOP 5 Movies of 2005

5.The Aviator
4.Hotel Rwanda
3.The Island
2. Star Wars Episode Three-Revenge of the Sith
1. Batman Begins

4.Gwen Stefani

4.Bradd Pitt
3. Ewan McGregor
2. Jude Law

2. Manchester United's victory over Chelsea in the EPL

Top 5 most thought provoking/inspiring/moving events of 2005

5. Iraq conducting their own elections
4. Hurricane Katrina
3. Tsunami relief efforts

Right people, hope you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for our review on the good, the bad and the ugly sides of college life tomorrow. That's up next on Alvyn and Weikee's TRIBUTE TO 2005!

2005-12-27T12:11:00.000+08:00

Hello people! Now that Christmas is over, the NEW YEAR is coming around the corner and so, with that in mind, the dynamic duo of Kelvin Ong and Alvyn Ng have come up with a new idea of a class outing, so listen up!

Basically, this isn't really a class outing per se, but its more like an invitation to the rest of the class to join some of us who have already decided to go to the Ministry of Sound to countdown and usher in the New Year with some good old clubbing and dancing. It'll be on the 31st of December(duh) and if anyone's interested, you can always just contact kelv or I or just leave a tag here to indicate you want to go, so that we can pass more details to you.

It'll be great fun and if you have any apprehensions of clubbing or something to that extent, don't, because there's nothing to worry about. Alrite, you have about four days to think about it, so start considering and hope to hear from you guys soon!

-alvyn

2005-12-25T15:45:00.000+08:00

Merry X'mas!
(The first of many Christmases to be celebrated on this blog i hope)

2005-12-23T22:43:00.000+08:00

We welcome back into our fold our brave and gallant and handsome and all sacrificing and heroic and tenacious and determined and tanned and.. erm you get the idea, ARMY KIDS! Yayness Anus! Welcome back to civilisation and the land of bountiful girls!

So anyway, lunch on Boxing Day is all set and more details to follow soon. In the meantime, continue to contribute to the Singapore Economy by shopping more! Last minute shopping is such a bitch, but strangely, it's exhilarating. All that long queues and packed bodies... Gosh.

Oh and here's a joke for you guys just to usher in Christmas.

What did Adam say on Christmas?

It's Christmas, Eve

If it's lame... well, its from BBC.

-alvyn

2005-12-22T15:52:00.000+08:00

Alright people!!!
Important annoucement ahead.

So important you need to stop whatever you are doing right now,for example,Weikee please stop wanking off to pictures of Jude Law and that Malena actress,Alvyn please cease your I-AM-CATHOLIC-SO-I-DUN-WANK-AND-I-AM-HOLIER-THAN-THOU attitude,Raymond stop the maple-storying,Michelle stop talking to yourself,Norman and Emily get your eyes away form Naruto and yes Simin,we are all glad you are back from your trip and er,yea welcome home!

Welcome home to myself too.I'm finally back.(CUE for Eminem's "Without Me" to be played.Lyrics go by the everlasting lines "Guess who's back,back again,KELVIN's back,tell a friend")

Alright,before i steer off course into narcissism forever more,let me now tell you what i am here for apart from annoucing my reappearance or comeback or whatever you losers like to call it.

I am here,really,for 04A1A's CHRISTMAS celebration 2005!!!!! -confetti thrown into air by ardent fans-
So,woohoo to that!!

Alright.This is a bit rushed,but Alvyn and i don't really care so you have the follwing options to choose from.

For those who prefer the eve of Christmas which is the 24th...

Option (A) => Dine outside in one of those fancy,flash-in-the-pans(?),vavavoom restaurants,which will then be followed by a late night movie to count the secs and mins down to Christmas. Only at 12,can we then exchange our christmas gifts.

Option (B) => Alvyn will whip us a meal and we all congregate in his house.Like option (A),we will then proceed to town for a late night movie,exchanging our presents only when the clock strikes 12.

Editor's comments:I know most of you are cursing above your breath now about the exorbitance and extravagance of option(A) but think about it,Alvyn's cooking sucks....Would you rather sit through a dinner with horrible,shitty,pretentious Salmon Linguine on your table while you put on a fake smile to show your appreciation or would you rather eat out where the food might not be free but yet tasty and sumptous?Furthermore,it couldn't really be all that expensive with Alvyn(Cue for DBS cash online's theme song to come in) around.

For those who prefer the day of Christmas itself,the 25th...

Option (A) => See the above.

Option (B) => See above also.

So basically,you guys get the gist.Difference between the two is,merely,in date.

Alright,before i go,just want to say,CHOOSE WISELY.Eat free and freely,but with low quality(ok sorry to Alvyn,JOKE LARHHH) OR eat slightly more expensive food,delicious and,err...ok larh..just more delicious.

As to Michelle's quiz,this is my altered version.
5 reasons why Kelvin rocks and Michelle doesn't.1)Kelvin has brains.Michelle doesn't.
2)Kelvin likes BeeBee.Michelle only liked it after Kelvin introduced it to her,LOSERR,POSERR.
3)Kelvin has creativity,Michelle doesn't,beginning every entry with "GUYS" and then coming with lame excuse for her lack of creativity by claiming it being her "signature".
4)Because Kelvin is not Michelle.
5)Because Michelle is Michelle.

Have a great day and make a decision by like...tomorrow latest!
