OKAY~~!!!

I've changed my blog skin, just to brighten things up...no more emo black for me (even though I must admit that the rainbow was kind of hard to part with)!!! But this skin seems more emo, right? I mean, look at the words! Well, don't blame me, I kind of like the tree and the guy with the guitar (by the way, the words are actually lyrics from a song "Remembering You".)

I've been thinking a lot lately, must have been because I'm tired. I realized I've been to proactive in finding the "Mrs Right", but hey, who'd ever love a geek like me?

Precisely because...never mind, I'm just thinking too much =\

Moving on, TOG is printing their jerseys tomorrow, I'm tagging along though my jersey would be different, honestly if I sent Monday Soccer Boys into Youth Cup we would've won the entire thing hands down, not saying that they're lousy, but the fact that we Monday Soccer Boys know how to foul legally (contradictory?).

If we ever win that Youth Cup it'd be half a miracle.

Okay...people say my posts have been very emo...so maybe it's the blog skin that's causing it, SO...I'm going to CHANGE IT!!! (since my daughter has been pressing me to change)

I'm gonna need some votes, who is going to vote that I should change it?

And oh by the way, today was the mid-point presentation for my FYP. It didn't go that bad, because it seemed that the world stopped and everyone listened to me, although I spent a ridiculousy 5 minutes on two slides (which meant the rest of my four team mates had to share another 5 minutes on another 5 slides). Apologies are in order!

And next week is my holiday, but I'm going to be very busy with my FYP, so people, call me out less often!

So yeah...I've been busy with FYP lately...thinking about it...trying to predict the future about it...but hey, unless I have the gift of prophesy I shouldn't do anything about it right?

I watched Wayne's World and Wayne's World 2 over the week on HBO Hits, not bad you know...haha.

I went out with my daughter today, a very good outing, since was buying stuff for a...certain someone, and you can be assured that it isn't a would-be girlfriend. But whatever it is, she's in for a big surprise! =D

I've been blogging less often, because I've been tired, very very tired lately, so yeah.

I'm not quitting blogging, I'm saying this because I know I haven't been blogging for sometime. LOL.

Tonight is finally and finally and again FINALLY soccer, I haven't been to soccer for like, YEARS and now is my chance to pick up my form. School so far hasn't been that great, I just look forward to days where I can just sleep and sleep and sleep.

Yeap, sleep is getting more and more important to me now because when I sleep, I imagine better. And the fact that I've got more than 2 scripts to write is giving my imagination far more importance than ever.

So people who think that my imagination isn't something that is worthwhile just 'cause I'm a childish brat, please think twice, imagination is what is making all of us insane and well...I'm contradicting myself, aren't I?

STA (School of Technology of the Arts, under RP) started a website forum where you can post whatever you have to gain constructive feedback from facilitators and students. It is a private channel, and everyone puts up photos they have taken from past years.

I asked if I could put up stories, the answer was a positive, "anything you have" he said. I put up a story, and no one wants to read it.

This is how society has turned, people.

No one wants to read words anymore, "too boring".

But I don't have a choice, do I? Even only the facilitators and administrators want to see pictures, not anything else.

But what the hell, I decided not to post there anymore, waste of time since no one wants to read it anyway.

But other than that, I'm thinking that Code Geass Season Two would be better.

And on top of that, Gary's asking me to appear on his sister's birthday as MARIO!!!

Hello,

I realised some of my blog posts are really quite EMO, but to clear the smoke...no I'm not. I'm just remembering good times so that my future would not seem so bleak. After all, I did really love her a lot. If you guys knew what I'd do for her and what I did for her, you'd know.

But life isn't always about that isn't it? Life isn't a destination, but rather a journey on which we are all together in, and we all walk the same path. Death, on the other hand, is a destination, and is the end for every journey no matter what road you take.

Life sometimes throws you lotsa things to bring you down, but it does that because it wants you to become stronger in every way. Just like how a mother and father would want their children to become strong men and women. This world is meant to prepare us for the next, in the eternal life.

I have to admit, moving on isn't easy, of course. Some of you know it's hard to get out of a vicious circle that'll bring you back to square one yet again. I'm incredibly saddened by people who get caught in it and yet I myself am caught in that circle.

Thanks for the memories.

Aha, not long after the 151st...is the 152nd!

I'll be heading off to school later for a meeting...FYP meeting, I felt lazy to go at first in the morning but what the hell...just go and finish up the work. Unless something urgent crops up...

Oh, and I went to Ben and Jerry's for free ice cream! Went with Yahui, lined up for at least TWO hours just for TWO cones, Chocolate Macadamia and Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Not bad actually, after all, the ice cream costs FIVE dollars if bought.

And DOT, I'm still holding on to your Korea present and I can't give it to anyone else 'cause IT'S GOT YOUR NAME ON IT!

Aha, a new blog post after a good old video. I always loved that video, brings me joy everytime I watch it now.

Second day of school has been a good day, first day wasn't so bad. I spy with my little eyes a few nice guys and girls, hopefully the coming days would be better.

FYP meeting tomorrow, I kinda don't like FYP now, the passion's gone because it's so screwed up, not because of the team but because of the topic the school set for us. Not that I hate it, but I think I can do better in other areas.

But as always, we all just have to tahan our way through eh?

And oh yeah, finally soccer after three weeks!

A little updates...

SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW!!!

Yes, it sucks. But I kinda miss school, so...no worries eh?

Just watched TAKEN (starring Liam Neeson), it is a great movie to watch, it exceptionally moved me because well, I have two daughters and let's just keep it at that...

I won't blog so much, doesn't mean I'm quitting blogging. I'm just praying that my classes will be nice people with no backstabbing S.O.Bs.

So, yay.

Now seriously, I think I'm being an irritating fart to others.

You know, it's those times, where the person says it's all right, but you know something's terribly terribly wrong, and you know it's not the person saying that he/she is busy.

Maybe I'm sensitive, or it's just something all guys go through. But I can't help it, because as a matter of fact, I'm being irritated by the fact that people are finding me irritating. I know there's something wrong with me somewhere, but I just can't put my finger on it.

I so want to help, to be a good friend but it seems what's stopping me is not the other party, but myself.

And yeah, surely I'm wasting half my time at TOG, 'cause well, I'll never do what I love in there, ever. But what the hell, let me run my course first.

When life throws you lemons? Well, let it keep throwing lemons at you and after everything is done, throw it back and laugh.

Awright! Time for some of life's updates!

I've been stuck on Facebook, to the point that I'm doing more than 10 quizzes in 30 minutes! Shocking, isn't it?

And yes yes, I saw a girl at Church yesterday! Her name's Nicole, RCIY (so non-Catholic, on the way to baptism), probably around 18 years old and Brother Terence describes her as "not a holy person, but (I quote) has faith stronger than anyone." Heh heh, hint hint. It's hard to find a girl like that now.

Oh right, GUYS! There is "The Fallen Ones" play coming up on 9th April 2009, from 9.30pm to 11pm! Don't miss this chance to view the Passion through the eyes of two very important people in the Passion!

Alright, I have to admit, ever since Therese invited me to Facebook, I've been there ever since.

One of the fun things in there is that "Magic 8 Ball" thing, where they ask random stuff about your friends. So me, Shaz and Alex were on the laptop, answering random questions like "Do you think Therese Grosse would ever bungee jump to impress friends?" or even things like "Have you ever had a crush on Dehui Chua?"...like what the hell man.

I may have to do some school work later, damn damn damn. So for now it's play time!

I'm sick, btw.

And yes, I still love my ex-girlfriend.

I thought for a while before writing this, but no one should get any wrong ideas, haha...

I love...

the way both my daughters actually show care to me
when people talk to me about their problems, and I actually help them with it
many people, but only faithful to one
World Wrestling Entertainment, because after all, it IS entertainment
sitting at home, alone, thinking
solitude, to sum up the previous sentence
playing soccer, especially when I'm not ill or have nothing to do
old movies and old songs
laughing at every minor joke, but not really the major big ones
PAP
lying that I love PAP XD
movies that have tragic endings
TOG
my ex-girlfriend, yes I still love her

In short I love many things, but only a selective few would be in my life and reciprocate it.

Not that I'm complaining... =]

Alright, I haven't been updating my blog about my life for a long time now.

I realize I've been getting emo over trivial, minor things and also realized that this shouldn't be the case. Even if there was a nuclear fallout tomorrow, life still has to go on, the only difference is whether we move forward with happiness or look back in shame.

Of course, I'd say if my current situation was a disaster to me, what justice would it do to the many people who struggle for survival during WW2?

Besides, being in a situation like me isn't so bad, I get to think a lot about a lot of things and peace and calmness just floods into my soul. I find myself having too much time for too little things and in control of certain important situations, not to mention I don't worry about anything at all now XD

I wonder if any of you have felt this way before?

I'll be picking myself up soon, very soon, and make sure I'll stay that way.

Today there was a Jammerz Arena meeting...and from the looks of it, I don't think I can stay in there anymore. A couple of reasons why:

1) They want to cater more to what the audience in RP wants, and seeing the majority of people in RP liking Rock, Punk and even Metal, there isn't much hope for Jazz now, is there?

2) They want to kick out the "weakest link", the miniority, and guess who's the only saxophone player in there?

These are the reasons, there are more though, I can't remember what they are...

Anyway, I see my self going solo now, perhaps I'm not meant to be in a band...there really is no place for a saxophonist in Singapore except Wind Symphony and Symphonic bands...

Alright...I realized I haven't been updating much about my life...so here goes:

1) Rehearsal on Monday, missed soccer and DAMN IT!
2) Meeting Jared at Raiders @ AMK at around 9am...anybody wants to DoTA can join me there! But it's not on the house...
3) Went cycling with my daughter last Thursday, I should've brought a camera to show what we did...the bicycle chain was loose, then I had to fix it and got my hands all black. After that went to eat at KFC...
4) Holy Week is coming...will be posting an article about it soon enough...heehee
5) If some of you haven't realized yet...YES I'M F***ING SINGLE AGAIN! DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT ISSUES IN RELATION TO IT! (until I feel fine)
6) Borrowed Armaggeddon 2008 (WWE) from Alvin, but the stupid DVD player keeps on hanging...
7) Passion Play...is going to be a disaster thanks to Father Peter...

Fake smile vs Real smile


It's a hard thing to do when you're trying to discern a fake smile from a real one, and it's quite a skill to know which is which. It could become important to know the difference when you're out with your spouse or with your friends, and know when they are genuinely tickled by your joke or just want to make you feel good.

Fake smiles
- Lack full expression
Meaning that the smile is less likely to be symmetrical, or that there is an absence of the crinking of facial muscles
- Can remain there for an unusally long time
Real smiles last not more than an approximate five seconds, while fake smiles can last approximately 20 seconds


Real smiles
- Uses zygomatic muscles of the cheek and the eye
The muscles near the cheek and the eye constrict, causing a crease and forming something like a crow's feet on the face
- Muscles around the mouth are also affected
The muscles around the mouth curve in an upward manner

Real smiles are also automatically brought forth by the person, not thought about first. When you are happy, endorphins are released into your brain, and this causes you to smile. In truth, one uses at least 5 pairs of muscles to smile, and sometimes as much as 53.

The real (or "open" smile) is known as the Duchenne smile, because these facts were found by a guy named Guillaume Duchenne, while the fake smile is known as the "Pan American" smile.

What about people who are born with a smile on their face? Will we never be able to see if they are genuinely happy or not? We can, look around the corners of the eyes when they laugh or smile, if they crinkle, it's a real smile.

130th Movement

Haven't been updating on my life so much, so here's a little information on what's been going on.

I've just downloaded Pan's Labyrinth, and am going to watch it soon, very soon. I've watched the introduction part, but had to stop when Ofelia entered the labyrinth, the best is yet to come.

I've also downloaded Lost in Translation, and am waiting for Amelie! to finish downloading as well. A lot of foreign movies are really worth watching, as what I've seen with these few movies.

As to what is happening with TOG, well, all I can say is that it's been quite stressful, really. Hard to explain, since you guys aren't in TOG. But it's a good thing, because it keeps me working and my blood running, otherwise I'll be fat and a couch potato in a month.

My hair is still growing, but not that long enough to trim yet, I miss my hair =[

127th Movement

My saxophone playing is improving bit by bit, and I'm having another one-on-one session with Master Chia this coming Tuesday...

Now it's time to rethink about what I really want in life, last year I had thought of doing freelance scriptwriting and selling my works to different companies, get enough cash and eventually cough up a good movie or two in a span of ten years.

But now, I really want a family, and that family isn't going to be able to survive if I do not have a basic job that keeps a stable income. Whatever I want just contradicts with whatever I need.

And then, to add on to my troubles, there's FYP and the occasional "stab-in-the-face" and other stuff that pull you down. I'm working on them one by one and slowly but surely I'm getting across them. Nothing in life is impossible, especially when you have two lovely god-daughters as your source of motivation.

Sometimes I look up into the sky, and hope for a chance to do something worthwhile, because from what I see here in my life, nothing is making my life more meaningful, not even Church. Perhaps it's my fault for not being able enough to undertake certain things, or it could be that God has chosen me to play the backstage all my life, if that is so, I won't give a complaint or two.

Alright, enough of my ranting, hopefully these few days would prove happier for me.

Okay...I haven't been blogging much because of Christmas parties and DYNASTY WARRIORS SIX!!!

And this stupid blogger wouldn't upload my Korean photos...so you guys just have to ask for it manually... =D

Yesterday was yet another TOG's monthly performance...went well...handled lights and fixed the wings of the stage, finished it up with sai kang work. This is what you get when you miss three rehearsals because you're away in Korea...

I just hope I won't miss the next one....

Today is TOG outing...these three days I've been seeing a lot of TOG...not that I'm complaining...

Nasrin and Serena are asking me to meet up for the FYP...I will have to contact them soon...
