That's right. Now people don't even use msn anymore. It's very sad. I've had precious moments with msn..
First of all, I must thank msn for teaching me how to type fast and sensibly. It's a very important skill that I think many people still have problems with. For instance, a noob guy can type a whole lot of shit and no one can understand what-talking-him. How did I manage to type fast? Hmm.. I needed to close deals fast in maplestory, so I had to type fast to convince the other party. I was very excited while I was on msn because interacting through messenger was a rather new concept for me then. So as we chatted, my excitement made me want to type faster, just like how one flourishes in sports during heated moments.
Now I don't see people online, and even if they do, they don't reply. Sigh..

WHOOOOOAAAA WHAT A BUSY WEEK INDEED!
Clarence's xmas party!
The carousel! At scott's hotel! It was very expensive $_$ my very first 50bucks buffet. The tiger prawn was nice! And that was my first time seeing a chocolate fountain! The choc was too sweet for me, but nvm, the combination of strawberry and pineapple with chocolate was the newzpaperz man.
the boys are back
goal!! need to practise saying that more often to be able to clique with my fellow uncles in the coffee shop..
Then dance central! Dancing is very fun. Watching people dance is more enjoyable actually HAHAHAHA! dearest zuokun made me laugh nonstop. I think dancing videos are like wine: it gets better with age! Shall review it 1 year later..
Then tianfong clar yongchee ray let us taste their awesome cake. Ah.. nice. But I'm very lazy to learn how to make.
xmas gift exchange! got a nice lego notebook from raymond hahaha. yay!
Clarence's a very nice host. Thanks to him, vball lives.

Last christmas, I gave you my heart. The very next day, ..
Boon's house party LOL!
I think we all learnt our lesson. LOL! half of the turkey here was uneaten. The stuffing was not stuffed before heating the turkey up. The sauce wasn't enough. Our stomachs weren't that big. So many problems! Poor choonboon had turkey meat for 3 meals x 2 days.
Too tired to immerse in the christmas mood..
-----
Maybe monday is a good day to rest! NO! Driving + tuition combo. V tiring. This combo happened again on the first day of 2012 and prevented me from taking a full nap T.T
I think I had 10 driving lessons already. I can drive le wheee! Some drivers just honked me cos I was slow.. please honk me only when u are driving a manual car like me. Bully me sia :( luckily my instructor helped me "eat" that guy. I must learn how to "eat" drivers. A tiger doesn't need to kill, but it needs to learn how to kill just in case it loses its reign.
-----
Then on Tuesday, it's megazip!
sorry swusan :( I hate to give up one of the co-founders for megazip, but that's the only way.. icecream kk? Well it was an experience for me, I shall no longer jio so many people. I wanted to express how frustrating it had been forcing people to prioritise this, but I guess it's better to just forget the details.
Despite the tough coordination, megazip was pretty fun! Positive response from 26th and 27th! Though we didn't get to experience that amazingly arduous climbmax 3rd level on the same day, I think we all shared a common problem in overcoming one of the elements then! Overall a very good once in a lifetime experience haha. Free fall was a shiok experience, because I'll never want to jump down from any height without a harness! But only for the first few split seconds -.- Rock-climbing! My favourite! I think my body is more or less naturally inclined towards climbing because even before climbing it, I knew I could easily overcome it. Such a breeze! hao lian a bit HAHA. Ahhhs, I really wanna climb again!
-----
After that was 01chalet.
一起长大的约定
那样清晰打过勾的我相信
说好要一起旅行
是你如今唯一坚持的任性
.

而我已经分不清
It was a promise made 2 years ago. But as time flies, its significance eroded..
Some how people have this idea that the majority will be there, so it's just "me" who will have special arrangements. In fact, everyone has this special arrangement. In the end only a couple few turned up. It's the same as punctuality. "oh I'm late cos I missed my bus", "oh I'm late cos I helped a grandma cross the road"... Everyone has his own problem, so where is the majority? I think kaisheng experienced it worse for one of his outings.
1st day: So when we reached, that asshole guard went to chaokeng for more than 30mins and he put a "out for patrol" on the door and dao my calls. Really asshole. Made me worry bout checking-in for nothing.
That's not all. That room was full of hairs. One might have thought that it used to be a hair salon. Thanks to jane's warning, me and kokli were well prepared. Oh and there were only qp kokli and me then. We started our army style of tidying up the place. No, I think we were even more thorough than in army. We used cloths and mopped the floor twice, cleaned and scrubbed the toilet and rubbish bin, picked up most of the hair, wiped the sofa table chairs, but we couldn't do anything to the bedsheet. To reward our efforts, we ordered domino's and shared. It's quite shiok actually . Not long after, ants came in from the outside again and I had to mop for a bit more before finally deciding that my efforts are fruitless. Actually how clean was the chalet at coasta sands previously? I forgot. But we didn't seem to bother so much then, and the floor was brown tiled, so dirt wasn't visible.
No the ordeal is not over yet. Then came an sms saying yf was coming over soon. That's mr.muscle and miss bodilicious coming over our humble unit filled with people who aren't really close with them! O_O Yup it was a hard time trying to make them interested. My teases on muscles seemed negative to them I don't know why.
2nd day: We went to buy bbq stuff, met up with some other 01, then went back to prepare food. Then we went to 吹海风 by the seawall, my favourite activity by the sea. If only the wind can make my hair more 帅，I'd go there everyday haha.
The trip back to white sands made us walk through the nostalgic lane, where we had to form up every sunday and board the bus and ferry to tekong. :'(
Are you enlisting? are you kidding me? LOL!
To be honest, even now, I will wake up and be shocked that I have ord-ed. After a frigging 1year 10months!?
Soon, it's night, and the bbq commenced.
intimidating aren't they? if u know what I mean. haha.
One of the best bbq :) easy to cook!
Then, 该走的都走，该留的也都留了。
How big is the difference? Let's analyse. muscles was supposed to stay, but left. red was supposed to leave, but stayed. Spiderman was supposed to defeat green goblin, but went shopping with maryjane. Batman was supposed to lim kopi with ahgao, but went to pull off that smirk on joker's face. Yup.
After that we played some drinking games, but sadly I wasn't able to drink a lot cos my stomach wasn't really occupied, so I was worried for my 肝爹。But poor jianyu..
must have a lot to drink. bangthebus!
I realised that I don't really like alcohol unless it's for forfeit, and I can't really tong late night sessions. I'm not a party animal after all.
All the way until morning. We went to 吹海风 again but brrr, it was so damn cold. Then I pondered about my goals in life, but still couldn't get an answer. I thought of some instances in the past when I could only scream upon reminiscence.
There were many times when I wanted to spice things up, but the opposing forces were too resistive. There was a boy who liked clara but he didn't want to trouble himself worrying about possible results of his actions in wooing her. So he chose stoning. How boring his life must have been.. 01 is a group that really likes to do nothing and talk, so perhaps activities next time should be more geared towards talking.
-----
So I tried being the wet blanket of the group with the "I don't want to spend so much money", and it was really a stupid feeling. I'm not saying we should just throw away our money when we go for outings, but not to the extent that you can spend 5k on a box of rolex tissue paper yet not 15bucks on a meal? Different people really have different priorities, it's ok, my bad.
What do I see in the 4 bfs? Balls. Yup that's the thing that is apparent. You can't be too muscular cos ppl will say it's disgusting. You can't be too tanned cos ppl will say you are like a banglah. You can't be too smart cos ppl will feel inferior and be speechless in front of you. You can't be too good cos ppl will think you are mr.good and you treat everyone else equally good. You can't be too sociable cos ppl will think you are just doing your routine interaction. You can't be too steady for any outing cos ppl will think you like to spend money.
In fact, the value of guys can be measured only to a small extent. A perfect guy with the above qualities might not have a gf because of the above. So, those qualities are important, but they are not everything. You need chemistry and balls. Chemistry is something that can be nurtured in time, but best if it's natural. But balls can definitely be learned. Time to have balls.
The thing is that love isn't something that allows you to reap what you sow. So when you are ready to use the balls you have acquired to woo the girl you really like, here comes some movie/drama and said something like "if you love her, you don't need to possess her". 讲真的leh. Like that let's just fall in love but be singles lor.
-----
The next day, there was a wedding dinner for dunno-who-relative at St.Regis. It was disastrous. My bros and I went up the stage to help him yumseng, then he asked, "who are they? nvr see them before leh?" and smile smile smile. @#$%#$^@ help u shout still complain. 去吃报纸啦你。
Anyway the food was nice, so ok luh, go there eat lor. High class.
only 7 course. Getting fewer and fewer by the day huh?
-----
Went to pageone warehouse sale and bought a $5 book. Cool. Shall find some time to read a book. The thickest book I've ever read is Harry Potter. Pathetic huh? Not studious enough.
Then dad's birthday dinner at chui xiang kitchen 醉香小厨.
chui and zui. whhh...?
-----
On new year's eve, there was an archery outing. Mega fail. Movie again. I think next time I'll just pon archery outings like ghimsiang.
Should be a very funny and interesting movie. But it's too fast-paced for me, especially when I was so lethargic from chalet..
Looks like I've got to download this movie and re-watch.
01 xmas countdown. Went to lele pot for steamboat. Why are fried mantous in the menu for steamboat? But nice haha. So was the cheese fries1 And the prawn! Oh god. Prawns. I love prawns. And I've eaten lots of prawns this week :D No photos here, so to help me reminisce, people going were huimin qingping jasmine louis bryan choonboon ghimsiang kaisheng jianyu kokli me, and a next-2-doors swusan.
After that we went outside mac to "countdown". Horrible, no place to fit us. I was really tired from chalet also, so we just talked and talked and talked.
Then we started setting our new year resolutions..
2011 resolutions:
1. 15 pull-ups by 2011 [DONE]
2. sbj 260 by 2011 [272 PLEASE]
3. 100% punctuality [sadly, no. but now i've got a watch. a man with a watch will NEVER be late again]
4. new shoes! [OBTAINED]
5. new bag! [BOUGHT]
6. less thinking, more actions [I definitely did more action this year]
7. keep in contact with friends [archery, 01, vball, army but not 05. stupid guard duties -.-]
8. run 2.4km in less than 10mins [ 9:38 GOLD :D]
9. try haagen dazs :D [YES! But I forgot when, need to reread my blog again]
10. learn how to play i'm yours using a guitar! and perform [I learned how to play the chords, but didn't perform!]
Okay, 7/10. Quite decent. I'm so happy that I've set so many goals and achieved so many in 2011, especially the gold in ippt.
Despite having achieved these, 2011 was not a smooth-sailing year for me. you naive kid. 2012 will be better!
MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTION:
1. maintain fitness by doing at least 2 x 120 pushups a week, and run at least once a week!
2. find a job soon
3. get a decent grade in uni (i think it's 4.0?)
4. be more spontaneous and take more initiatives
5. try keeping long hair (i don't know why people will link to the guns and roses style zzz)
6. start reading books
7. get class 3 license
Seems boring, but who knows? ^^
I was glad when jasmine said girls do take some initiatives. Looks like my theory of mutualism was correct.
-----
Played enough after I ORD. I'm ready for the next phase of my life. Every now and then, I'll think of my army days, my nokia 1202, my sai gang periods, my lame style with topless guys, and smile...

散在地上撕落的岁月
又一天又一年没感觉
伤痕在心田 滚烫的蔓延
-林俊杰 無盡的思念-
like a small kid to whom has been promised a theme park outing, I couldn't sleep
