moment in time...

just had this moment that was so perfect, a picture can't do it justice, words can never describe how it feels and speech becomes incoherent when explaining it. will treasure that moment which stopped time and made everyone disappear. birdy hearts u~ :)


this was where we first met not knowing that we were to be singing together with our mutual friend. you noticed me and me likewise to you, is it just fate? whatever it was, i'm glad it brought us together and i know it'll last for a very very long time...

and this is me with 2 of my favourites in life, bunny and harley..

so that was the conversation wif weeli i had during lunch time. can somebody please tell the aliens to return the real weeli? he has been asking me IT questions!! weeli, asking me computer related questions! it's like asking george bush wat's world peace or asking Bill Gates the secret to the iPod~ he's screwing wif my head. but he asked me an IT related question last night that he really didnt know and tat gave me an ego boost(to quote a certain bunny). i'm savouring the moment still. HAHA! take tat fin!

i wabbit u..

Special

Special seems ordinary beside you,
I can't believe all these are coming true.
Special feelings I have I can't deny,
lifting me up all the way to the sky.
A thousand and one emotions came flooding into me,
but I know this isn't something dreamy.
A thousand and two emotions come gushing into you,
all these just feel so new.
You and I are just meant to be,
we are special, can't you see?
God brought us here together,
in which we remain, forever.

the bird and the bunny.. :)

all play and no work...

yes i shldn't be doing tat but i have been and i hope i can catch up on whatever that needs to be done.

went for our long awaited KTV session with the usual gang of jas, ed and jane. and as usual we sang till we lost our voice with me and edwin forming a 2 men Bon Jovi screaming to Living on A Prayer. some snippets to follow.

the rest minus me..

n i got a bankai-ed by jane.. what does a microphone zanpaktou do?


and this is long time coming. I should had caught it when it first opened in cinemas here. What I'm talking about? It's The Simpsons! Finally got to watch it just now with jane and guess what, we sat in The Simpsons' couch! I look like an idiot trying to pose as though i just dropped from the sky like Homer does. It was a freaking funny movie, we practically laughed throughout the movie and i believe jane lost her sleepiness as soon as the movie started. :) spider pig, spider pig, does whatever a spider pig can~

jane simpson with her family..

me looking silly..

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

had lunch wif jasmin today at china square central. she has been working arnd the area for quite sum time now before commencing on her masters, and we tot it'll be nice to haf lunch together. at abt 10 in the morn, she MSNed me saying tat she's craving for pasta. so we scoured the net for any possible eateries (cos restaurants here are juz way over our budget)arnd the area but there were none. in the end, we settled for china square food court wif sum fish soup. the food didnt disappoint and the company couldnt be any better with us toking abt the clique and of course how archipelago sux!

on the way back, i passed by this pushcart wif a guy selling BRAND NEW books, fiction, non-fiction, self-help books for juz $10. yes, $10! i couldnt resist and went to browse wat's available. i was really spoilt for choice, shld i get Guanxi, Stephen king or mitch albom? so this was wat i got instead......



yes, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. i noe, it's a fairly old book but i haven read it yet and have always wanted to so i was presented wif the perfect opportunity. :)



PS: Benoit is dead as all of u noe by now but apparently he killed his family members due to an argument wif his wife over him spending more time at home wif his mentally-disabled son. First of all, as naz said, i dun approve of stuff like tat but i believe he hadbeen frustrated over this situation for a very long time. raising a kid is not easy, moreover a mentally-disabled one. to add salt to injury, his job required him to be away for more than 3/4 of the year but it puts more than juz bread on the table hence he's still doing it, and damn well at that. so this event would never take away the man he is and the image i haf of him. i had the privilege of meeting him once and he came across to be a sincere man even tho he was jet lagged and meeting thousands of pple. RIP Chris, a legend always.

salsa & prata

ok we all noe that salsa and prata doesnt go together and originate frm totally different places. but sad to say, these 2 go hand in hand for now.

i had my first salsa lesson yest and my oh my, i had so much fun im looking forward to the next lesson and checking when's the next available slot, not waiting for another wk! first of all, THANK YOU liz for bringing me and sheryl there.. we would definitely be lost without you. :) u noe the world is a small place and u meet frens even in foreign countries, i haf to say singapore is really a dot on the world. lemme do sum explanation b4 i start, liz introduced sheryl to join the class wif me as my dance partner, so i went wif her. at the studio, i met another sheryl(yes, same spelling), unexpectedly because she nv did mention tat she was interested during conversations me n shaun had abt salsa. now comes the bad news, i met mr ho zhonghuan (army guys shld noe him, infamous for pcc in bunk), a guy i wun want to meet even tho we're are the only 2 left on earth! so now, the coincidence cycle doesnt end here, my dance partner sheryl, shares the same surname as me and the instructor is called jared too! wonderful huh~ small small singapore... but nonetheless, 123, 567, 123, 567. :)

here comes the prata section, the number of times i've been to RK house at serangoon garden these past few weeks is more than the number of times i've had prata last month. im not sick of the prata there (cos it's one of the nicest arnd the area) but it's really unhealthy. now now, jeryd is not being a health freak here, nor being a colin, but im juz concern due to me not doing as much exercises as b4 and sooner or later, i mite juz be as fat as my dad!! nono.. shall not let tat happen.. oh, fyi, tats the place where they played the "no pork" trick on the waiter.. haha!

here's my supper khaki for today, my classmate jacquelin, after intensive revision for our upcoming paper.. (she's gonna hate me for this.. :D)



and here's me wif my crooked face at the same old place..

this seems all too strange with me staring at Blogger's interface and typing a new entry on this stale old blog. How old is this blog, i cant really remember but it sure had been revived more than it should have. Deja vu. But here we go again, this time round, different content, different perspective and different me, for sure.

Now, I guess I'm stepping into this new stage in my life where I'm back living for myself. But then again, I'm at an age where whatever i do would reflect on the near future or even further ahead. So it's kinda not the ideal stage I would hope to be. Look at the picture above and that's what i want to do and where i want to go. A clear pristine beach to jump around with no worries and forget all physical and emotional attachments that reality deals me with. However this might not happen anytime soon due to all the commitments I wish i could throw away. But i cant, i have to think about my future.

been hanging around with my friends alot recently and i value them more now. They stuck by me no matter what and brought me through every hurdle they can lug me through. Thanks Guys! Here we are having dinner at Waraku, nice udon and not pricey too!



i just realised I'm like a frog that's stuck in a well. Where have i travelled? mostly in southeast asia and not more than 2 hours flight away. My longest was to Hongkong recently and now i want to travel more, to places further and most importantly, with different cultures to experience. If possible, I want to head on down to Perth to carry on my course. The time spent there all alone is priceless and i guarantee that i would find out some new stuff about myself. Money is always a factor for that, we shall see.

wake me up when september ends...

it's been ages... and i realised i start my post wif that same phrase all the time.. haha~ anyway yeah, been really busy.. my life was like on a roller coaster ride, the worst u can find, and lugging a laptop to complete ur work while going thru the ride.. it was haywire man.. esp in the month of september.. really wanted to be sing the greenday song, and inform everybody juz to wake me up when september ends... :P

tat month was terrible.. not only do i have my projects due and my exams looming, i haf personal problems to deal wif and of cos the usual work stress... not to mention that i screw my exams up terribly..(luckily i manage to get a credit, tho i was hoping for a dist. damn~) how relief i felt when it act ended and october came.. hopin that the tide would change and finally, some luck~ but life doesnt serve u on a silver platter ya? october aint the best either.. a new term, a new beginning? doubt so.. same probs come haunting me over n over again.. cun even tink straight and concentrate.. now all im praying for is sumthing to show me the light to sort all these issue out man..

how do u define devotion and how do u allocate time for the diff committments in life? i gotta admit im slicing my time a little bit too thinly but i believe a guy gotta do wat a guy gotta do.. he needs a qualification, he needs a career to support his family.. so of cos, this is the number 1 priority.. his lover is impt as well, one of his priorities but seriously speaking, she cun be his everything, forsaking wat's impt(as above)... no, im not being materialistic here and talking abt having more money, having as much as possible.. but having a respectable, stable and comfortable income to feed the family.. and to achieve this, i haf to work hard now to get the qualification for the opportunity in future for tat kind of career.. i might be tinking too far, too wide, but it's wat i really want...

devotion, how do u define that? by giving all ur time to tat special someone, every min in a day, days in a week, weeks in a month, months in a year?? i dun tink so.. quality is more impt than quality.. and altho time spent is much lesser, at least noe tat the time was well spent.. fidelity, how do u define having an adultery or how do u determine whether ur partner has cheated on u... is looking at the other gender considered cheating? is meeting up wif classmates for proj cheating? is toking to them cheating? i guess to each his/her own, they would haf their own definations, one man's meat is another man's poison... but i believe in total devotion when in a relationship, if not y be in one?? rite?? so yeah, im still upholding it.. :)

now to my frens, those who are overseas.. one in scotland, another in washigton and a few down under(perth, melbourne, adelaide :P).. i juz wanna ensure u guys are not forgotten and u guys are always the topic of the discussion.. dun feel left out down there, dun feel tat u're no longer a part of the clique.. cos once together, always together man.. like the musketeers.. :)


one for the guys...

a pill hard to swallow...

disappointment is a hard pill to swallow.. maybe i set too high a standard for myself, or maybe i din prepare well enuff.. either way, i haf to swallow it and it's not easy... i really wanted to do well in this, cos maybe i tot this was my forte.. wat im only gd at.. which is to talk~ but i failed myself terribly.. i was practically dumbfounded when questions were shot at me frm every corner.. when my plan din execute as per expected... i guess everybody could tell frm my look tat i was lost.. and the best part was i dug my own grave deeper wif every answer given... on the other hand, im lucky that this holds a really low percentage to the overall grade.. but nonetheless, i failed myself.. n tats the most impt test..

speaking of hard to swallow.. thats wat pam's gonna go thru for the next few days.. she got her 2 wisdom teeth extracted and as usual, no hard food, no hot or cold stuff till it heals.. poor her.. her threshold of pain is so low, i wonder how she's gonna take it at nite.. but i believe she can make these few days.. :)

spidey lego!

hey guys, tot this mite be interesting.. got it frm naz's blog.. n i totally concur wif him on lego.. i used to haf a huge tub of lego bricks of all shapes n sizes.. coming up wif crazy ideas n notions of my very own city and vehicles.. sigh, those were the days..

anyway this video is very well done i muz say IF the creator actually build it all one by one n not digital animation.. :P
