Once in a while we spend time evaluating ourselves, our lives and our acquaintances.
When u start doing that too frequently, u know ur life isn't fulfilling the needs of ur spirit.

I am sick.
Down with fever. Actually i've been feeling sick since friday night. I am perpetually thirsty and warm. And i've been staying up late at night, chatting randomly till like 1 or 2 am and waking up at 9 plus 10 the following day. Which is not enuf sleep for me. My family used to call me the "8.30 boy" in primary school cos if i didm't sleep at 8.30, i will become the grumpiest person to have ever walked the earth (either meiling or christine is holding the record now. *weak smile*) And i think i've stuck with the habit of sleeping early all the way till NS came along, cos i always book in at the very last minute and only sleep bout 12 plus.
Okay, i digressed. anyway, i'm better now, took some panadol and lotsa water (i think i went to the loo 15 times since last night 7pm). A bit worried cos there's parade nxt tues and thurs. (fyi, i think i got mi fever fm mi last rehearsal cos the sun was UNBEARABLY SCORCHING. i am toasted. So tanned that kaiyun walked past me without recognising who i was when i was with shanmian yesterday --> until jiabin (skinny) told her. LOL~ haha i'm laffing over my "(skinny)" , sorry boon. Hoping i do recover cos i ACTUALLY enjoy the parade rehearsals (everything beats slacking at the office --> besides outfield that is (and guard duty))

Thai express has pretty impressive tom yam. but i must say the Tub Tim Grob is beaten hands down by the one at Thanying.
And the service at the Thai express outlet at Citilink is absolutely embarrassing.
Imagine:
ME : Sorry, can i add another order. One Tub Tim Grob pls. (trying my best to get it right)
Waiter: (stretching out a bit) sorry sir?
ME : A Tub Tim Grob.
Waiter: Tub..?
ME : (thot i got it wrong, embarrassed but coolly) I'm sorry if i can't get it right, the *hesitates* TARB TIM GROB?
Waiter : (hurriedly) Okay sir.
(5 minutes later)
ANOTHER waiter : I'm sorry sir, can i know what ur additional order is?
ME : (slightly fedup) A TUB. TIM. GROB.
THIS WAITER : I'm sorry sir, we're NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE THAI NAMES , CAN U TELL ME IN ENGLISH?
ME : (horrified and pissed) (rolling my eyes and giving OSM the W-T-H look) The RED RUBY.
THIS WAITER : Sorry sir, so it's the red ruby. (running away)
Wah lel, hello. Not knowing what the thai names of the food are is diu lian but admitting it is CLEARLY poor service and training.
But the Mango salad and tom yam is really quite power packed. esp the tom yam, small bowl of clear (yes! clear! rare right?) soup but charged with flavour, quite a taste bud opener. mian and i almost died fm the spicy combination (both had loads of green chilli and chilli padi) but we were happy. ( i think i'm starting to realise where else i could have gotten my fever from.. :P )

I'm about to embark on penning my first (actually second if i included my really amateurish piece i did in sec.3) "long novel" (i dunno wat its called in English, cause in chinese there is Duan Pian (short), Zhong Pian (middle) , Chang Pian (long) Xiao Shuo (novels) ).
I think i need to get a good chinese software. (zzy: think need to borrow fm u again) Bookout nights will cease to be mundane and oh-so-boring anymore!
I'm an "impulse" person. ( i dun say impulsive person cos i think there's a very slight difference in the definitions. like i'm NOT rash.) So i probably wun be writing any skeletal storyboard for it. Just going to write as much as i can ( i haven't even decided on how many characters i should have yet ) then type it out, work on it and rewrite it a few times. It will be a major project. Wish me luck! i really hope u guys will want to read it when it's done. But i KNOW chinese novels jus dun sell. demmit. >:(

Wow, i just realised our next album already has 17 songs! And still got 2-3 more to go. :) :) :) after bout ... 1 and 1/4 years. Lau has lots to say bout our efficiency but heck, u guys should see recording sessions WITH her around. Flat. And Lazy.
Then probably can start working on CD production. Really really want the kind of lyrics they have in albums sold in shops. U know? the kind dat can be folded and then slotted in to the cd? Dunno who can print such stuff. And we haven't even decided on the Album Title.

Dele will be back next Thursday! for 3 months! haha happy . altho she's pretty resentful but heck la.
meiling should be back the monday after the nxt.
And erm lau should be leaving on ?????????? . LOL~

Why does everyone say my British-India-wanna be, slightly pinkish-greenish-yellowish stripey yoga , wide-collared, short sleeved shirt looks GAY?
I realli dun think it does. It's slightly metrosexual only WAT. i think ppl are jus saying that by preset standards. "Cos MOST people will say that" Urg, people have such weak and flimsy opinions nowadays, they say stuff without thinking. how boring.
And my family is pillared by NORMALITIES and SOCIAL STANDARDS.
Dad : Wah, wat a hiao2 shirt! (vain and loud)
Bro : It's cool. Yes. But gay too.
Mom : It looks (timidly...) a little feminine.
But i LIKE it. I'm so not a person who will change mi dressing cos of negative comments. Oh wait, but hmm, actually looking 'gay' isn't necessarily negative actually...
And jj is the worse. Says it looks LOK KOK. (lok kok leong wor...)
HELLO. He's wearing some cheapo ,buy 1 get 10 free plain white, lousy quality T-shirt and dare to comment on my $40 RE- Shirt? PUI. *chuckles*

haha jj really wants to meet lihui. this is quite hilarious.
and he keeps giving the oddest variations for her name.
Like he asked me last week :
" Hey is Yihui gonna come along ? "
then at e end of that day :
" Wah lel, next time u better bring Ji Hui (chance) along ! "
And yesterday he told me :
" Oi, i haven't met Yihua (or some crap like dat) yet lei... "
haha xiao si ren le. He's super dumb. There isn't anithing romantic going on. Trust me on that. Jus him realli bored.

i'm meeting jj once every week liao (much earlier than our plan of starting nxt year). Hmm. It's become REALLY frequent. Not like i'm complaining or anithing. But i'm starting to dread having to go off to shanghai (i haven't heard fm MOE for so long, i dun even know if i AM going ANYWHERE ). I think i'll really miss him. We sound like a gay couple. Yes. But no we're not. But i think most ppl (esp. guys , esp. e TYPICALLY GUY guys) can't understand what's it like having a REAL best friend. (haha to lauren) He's prob the best thing that happened to me , besides, Sun moulin, pineapple cheesecake, Tori Amos , Tao Zi and my family. And we're so over the stage of mutual distrust, living up to expectations and conscious maintenance : like how u brush ur teeth in the morning and how shitty u feel when u dun ( doesn't apply to mi stinky brother tho ). And there has been a giant leap in our friendship recently (who could have imagined that there could be room for advancement? ) which we both made possible by taking things positively (esp. on mi part). hey, i'm starting to make this sound like a personal letter. shld stop. be4 i get all sick and mushy. and the bai chi will probably get all swell-headed with my bare-all-post.

yay! jiabin u're back. we watched potter without u (sorrie!) u shld have been there, JSZ was a total embarrassment. Kept making weird comments like how the ballooned auntie shld take xanda, shouting out "EXPECTO PETRANUM" from time to time, making weird "OMG" expressions when Hermione started doing slightly bimbotic stuff like throwing her hair ard, scolding the new Dumbledore and chanting "Peter Pelanini (or watever e rat's name was) " in "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper" tongue-twisting fashion. Oh meet up 1 day lei, u can tell us ALL bout ur trip and i WILL collect my presents. (oh i realised i shld be seeing u nxt sat)

I REALLY want to sing in a lounge, a bar or a min ge can ting.
I know i'm not brilliant but i am pretty sure i'm not NOT up to it. Any1 got kang tow, pls tell me.
I am really excited by the thought of being a teacher by day and working as a singer by night. I will be so cool.
( jus why is mum yelping outside? hmm must be quite an exciting show. )
I think i'm disgustingly spoilt. I actually made my mom do a body scrub for my back dat day while i was using e pc. disgusting. She had to wet it with a towel, den scrub den wipe clean with a towel. While i jus sat there. I'm REALLY disgusting.
I can only behave like dat with my mom. Actually my dad too, he realli dotes on me. I can make him scratch my back even when he absolutely HATES to. And i make him enjoy it somemore cos he'll be laughing when he just puts his hand in a clawing pose stationary while i move my body. (sorta like the how did 100 morons paint a ship? question. Answer: 99 move the ship while 1 holds the brush) And i am always overwhelmed when they all fuss over me when i'm sick. Like how mom would come over to their bed (i'm sleeping on it), put her hand on my forehead, then walk away quietly and tell my dad in that calm yet fussing-over-me manner : " Fa Shao (fever) " and my dad would come in and do the exact same thing and go out and tell her : " Chi Panadol. "
They are the pillars of my life. But it's jus unbelievable how i can love 2 people who really dun understand me.
(there, mom jus walked in and said " Bo Yi (hainanese for ah yi), Ni hai bu yao shui jiao ar? ( aren't u going to sleep ?) my my, it's almost touching how people can actually centre their lives on some1 else. i'm almost impatient to try how dat feels. )

i had a dream dat day in camp. The most beautiful dream i ever had. I had a son! A nice looking angmoh mixed chinese kid, bout 2 years old who was so cute. I was so happy in my dream. I taught him how to eat and play and pee even! I really really want to have a kid. Sigh. Stupid campmate turned on the lights and woke me up. shithead.

There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with Lauren and Paul.
Cos we were supposed to go have lunch at good ol' thanying today and then record at paul's house? but i was so sick i had to call it off? (when zhengyi calls off outings, esp. RECORDING sessions, u know it was pretty bad. ) Then Lauren called me TWICE already.
and the conversation was sorta like :
" Hey zhengyi, how r u doing? feeling better? (yes, thanks) Wat ARE u doing at home? (resting..) Oh paul really misses u, he wishes u are here and spent the last half hour complaining that u aren't here. (yes yes i'm SURE lau) Really! (okay really.. u must be doing sth to him. ) I'm not!*laugh laugh laugh* ( lau, stop doing watever u r doing to paul ) I'm not! (paul, wat is she doing to u? ) He's not doing anything to me.. oh wait, i mean, i'm not doing anything to him! *laugh laugh* okay bye bye! (u guys are crazy, wat's wrong wif u? ) U're SUCH a loser! Staying at home... *laughs madly* (i'm sick. shouldn't there be more sympathy) *laughs* okay okay BYE!! "
LOSER? hello, when did the world stop feeling sorry for poor sick ppl?

my brother is realli silly. he just walked in and asked me :
" hey where's the teapot we got for dad ? "
" in the cupboard lo. "
" okay..."
Then while getting his stuff, he keeps singing in this cutey voice : "i'm a little teapot short and stout.." (which was exactly wat jj sang when i told him i was getting a teapot for my dad, WAT is up with these ppl? )
my brother is such a doofus at times, 1.87 and 100 kg doofus. singing 'i'm a little teapot' . gosh, my family is so weird sometimes.
