enjoying a solo ride..

I've just been too lazy, too busy and too tired to come up with any new entries. And I apologise to all my loyal fans for my absence.

Want to wish Daryl a happy belated birthday and bro, you have 5 more years before the big THREE-O, good luck! The guys and I were at Midsummer Night Breeze at Pasir Ris Park the night before his birthday and played silly games which i totally sucked at. I really have no idea how all these games work, I guess it's only for students with nothing better to do to come up with things like that! We went down all the way to Balestier for Bah Kut Teh at the restaurant with walls filled of pictures of the owner and various stars. So I offered myself to the owner, hey, it's not everyday he get to take a picture with Mr. Anything!

midsummer night breeze..

Went to Uncle Vincent's place for dinner. It had been ages since we last met him and the rest, so we suspected that something might happened, that's why we were invited for dinner. Things like Charmaine(his daughter) getting pregnant! haha! but that was the day where all 4 of our bikes were parked together. Check it out!

clockwise frm left, dad's, mum's, bro's, mine!

Watched the latest installment of the Harry Potter movies with Ivy, SL, Tammi and Shuang, my proj group mates for this term. I was practically drag by them as i have absolutely no interest at all!! but it kinda triggered something after the movie, making me feel like reading the book or continuing catching the next 2 in the series. And before entering the cinema, i had to take a picture with my brother, Barthelomeuw.

Bart and I

I'm actually starting to enjoy climbing all over again. Went climbing this morning at NUS with Shaun and manage to complete a couple of routes. I feel as though the feeling is coming back to me but i guess i still need to build up on the strength department. met new people as well, Khai, a NUS friend of Sheryl and Shaun. and after climbing, i try to do my part for the society by visiting the red cross home. the patients there never fail to pull at my heart strings. it really made me ask why are we earning so much money when they are there needing our help? it really shows no meaning of money at all. i feel as though i'm always pulled back to reality after visiting the home, plant my feet back on the ground, to ensure that there's more to life. had a fruitful shopping trip after that with shaun. a cheap pull and bear tee, a pair of cufflinks from river island and FINALLY, my pair of oakleys. i got myself a pair of canteen, rust is the colour. a little brownish with brown lens.

another arty farty pic of sheryl climbing, shaun looking, and khai peeping on the right..

i look like venom wif me on the wall and my tongue sticking out..

cufflinks, tee, and oaks

The Fab 4 returns

the fab 4 returns. we finally climbed together after so long. and my fingers cun move, all thanks to weeli who went, "come on jeryd, u still haf strength in ur hands, u're not shag!" and so i had to continue climbing. :/ again, the pics gonna speak for itself.

jap climbing, weeli belaying, shaun watching. nice?

jap on the wall

me struggling up.

SHAUN FELL! :D

weeli, the only time he's graceful..

official models of chrome.

finally all the chromes unite.

weeli returning the favour? haha!

Random

this is basically a very random post. just wanted to post a pic of our chromes yet again because our dear Shaun complained that his wasnt in the picture. So wat i did was to do some lousy cropping and added his in. pardon my editing skills.

still on the topic of shaun, so as all of us noe, there's this 10 point scale that we used to rate *ahem* and this was wat i told him (i just think tats it was so gd i haf to share wif everybody here). God has his own 10 point scale too but he has to split it among looks and character. So pretty girls don't really have very good characters and not so pretty girls do actually have better characters than them. Gd huh? :)

so heres the pic of the additional chrome. say thank you jeryd, shaun.

Dinner, Farewell, Climb

ok as u can see frm the order of the title, i had a fantastic dinner on sunday nite wif angeline, a farewell dinner for persis on monday @ waraku, and climbed today wif jap n weeli. now, becos of the last activity, i cun type properly and my fingers cun move as freely as they wan to be. so this is the last sentence of this entry n i shall let the pics speak for itself.

Dinner, Farewell, Climb

Luging & Jazzing

headed down to sentosa wif ceci, tammi, ken and yongbin, a bunch of my classmates in the evening for some chilling by the beach. we went to this place called Jazz by the Beach which has bands performing every sat night and today happened to be the thomson jazz band. i believe u guys might have heard or read abt them. overall the place was ok with short tables being laid out on a piece of grass patch and us sitting on beach mats. finger food was normal but drinks selection were limited. the music was gd tho.

before jazzing, we went luging. i know im backdate but this is the first time im doing it and i did it twice! thanx to ceci for that~ :) we did it in the dark and it was quite interesting when u dun brake at all! the ski lift was a little scary when the conversation during the ride is abt how the system might fail us and how we might fall!

but nonetheless i had a great time wif me initially not having any programs at all. here are the pics, pardon the lighting, my phone has no flash.

ken, ceci, tammi n yb posing b4 heading up the ski-lift

yb posing for a nice view.

with our powers combine, here comes CAPTAIN LUGE!!

the live jazz act..

Nostalgia

had a couple nostalgic moments today. met up with shaun and weeli for a short climb at ClimbAsia. I didnt even pack my stuff but just headed down there after my driving test. Now, i'm so damn disappointed in myself for failing the test but den again, i'm never lucky to pass for the first time~

so with no equipment, i wore my jeans to climb. was laughed at due to me not being able to stretch, by a ger! but thats not the point. i missed climbing with them. the camaraderie that we haf, the rapport and the goofballs we are, surely missed them alot. but it was a torture for me since i havent been climbing and now my fingers, forearms are so sore tat typing this entry seems a chore! others might tink we're gays for this, but all of us have the same bag, a Chrome. As seen on Heroes Episode 19. Haha!

here, see this, mine, shaun's and weeli's. a symbol of the close bond we haf.

met up with junyang n charles after class for a drink. i didnt even know there was an Ice Cold Beer at SMU, thought there's only one at Emerald Hill. But we met there and had a drink or two. I drank all of half a bottle of San Miguel Light. Haha! I was riding u see. anyway had fun chatting and making fun of each other. great to catch up wif old friends like them, especially more than a decade old friendship.

so here we are at Ice Cold Beer, me, Junyang n Charles.

Boycott and Bears

hung out wif shaun after my last paper with every intention of having some retail therapy. and guess wat, we went home empty handed, $20 poorer each over an unjustified meal and very very sore legs.

so shaun had the craves for Kenny Rogers at marina square so tinking tat a quarter chicken meal is only abt $10++, we went into restaurant shocked n surprised. first, we were shown to our seat wif a menu presented in front of us. straight away my first reaction was, "10% service charge". and our next finding was tat they raised the prices for everything on the menu by a couple of bucks. none was worst then the next thing we encountered, they no longer serve ice water and all beverages has to be bought! we tell ourselves, it's ok, the food is gd, a couple more bucks' not a problem, till they serve the food. take a look for urself......


either the chickens they bought are malnutrition or quarters are redefined differently at Kenny Rogers. so at the end of the day, both shaun and i came to a common consensus that we are NEVER gonna go back for any meals. how can tat puny piece of chicken fill us up?? to make it worse, it was 7% GST already!

unsatisfied shaun.

so after tat terrible, unsatisfying meal, we walked arnd suntec and came across this interesting store. it's full of bears and the best part is tat u gotta DIY the bear urself. first u get a bear wif no fillings inside, den u gotta buy the fillings for the bear as well as the dressing for it. they haf a wide range of costumes and accessories that ranges frm a mexican style outfit to american football uniform. and as usual, shaun noticed the unobvious, he was saying tat the place lack a pretty sales girl to attract the guys inside the store so that the guys would in turn get sumthing for their gf. -_-"

the unstuffed stuffed toy.

shaun being mesmerised by cotton.

and this is me in 40 years time.

.....while this would be my wife in 40 years time.

Nothing Lasts Forever
Maroon 5

It is so easy to see
Dysfunction between you and me
We must free up these tired souls
Before the sadness kills us both

I tried and tried to let you know
I love you but I'm letting go
It may not last but I don't know
Just don't know

If you don't know
Then you can't care
And you show up
But you're not there
But I'm waiting
And you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

A bed that's warm with memories
Can heal us temporarily
The misbehaving only makes
The ditch between us so damn deep

Built a wall around my heart
I’ll never let it fall apart
But strangely I wish secretly
It would fall down while I'm asleep

If you don't know
Then you can't care
And you show up
But you're not there
But I'm waiting
And you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you, babe

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

Tough we have not hit the ground
It doesn't mean we're not still falling,
Oh I want so bad to pick you up
But you're still too reluctant to accept my help
What a shame, I hope you find somewhere to place the blame
But until then the fact remains

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes you so hard to stay
Nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way
