so long time din update my blog edi (actualy it's very short considering the time lapse btw the post before n my latest post b4 this, but i hope to) ...coz seldom got the chance to use com...regret not bringing my own laptop. so i guess i ll skip the past 1 week n blog bout the recent days la..mb ll update them later..so the highlights of these few days would be the swim test for the lifeguard i guess.the 200 yards swim test is not that tough as i thought it would have been coz we can use breast stroke to swim the whole course and we r not timed. so we can relax n take our time. moreover the weather here is really wtf for us coz it's very windy n chilly. n they heated the water to around 84 F so most of us really take our time n stay inside the pool as long as we can. haha. everyone of us passed the test except 1. then here comes the deep guard test. firstly we have to grab a 10 lbs diving brick then after that we hav to hold on to the brick and tread water for 2 minutes. walao it's f***kin heavy man i hold onto it for around 30 seconds then i give up liao really cant take it le...

The 5 of us (Feeder King) taking picture with aaron before our "feeding pilgrimage" to new jersey.

The very famous “士林夜市”, one of the biggest "market" (i suppose?) in asia which always features in travel programme. As you all can see, it's crowded. The chicken cutlet here is quite big, crispy and the price is reasonable. I think it's worth trying. Not too bad.

The bicycle stand outside NTU (not the one at Singapore, but National Taiwan University). It's a norm there that almost everyone cycles. We all r stunned when we noticed how dense is their bicycle "parking lots". Don't know how they find their own bike. pretty tough, huh?

The bus which caries us from out transfer hotel-桃园大饭店to 桃园international airport. It's just the 5 of us on board of this comfortable bus. kinda waste... if i can board this type of bus back to kl from singapore...

Brushing my teeth at the airport there. Coz we juz had a "sumptuous" meal at the hotel there. They serve us a steak/fish&chip main course, while we can help ourselves to any of the salad bar there. As for dessert, we have fruits and Meiji ice-cream. Consider affluent huh? coz we never expect this kind of extravagance. Hav to enjoy it while we can, later while we're at NJ, we r like "foreign labours"(as quoted from my sis).

today read an article about edison chan's scandal and i think it's quite meaningful so jiu wan to post here lo. Happy reading.

"最近香港艺人的私人床照在网上流传的事件，其实可以帮助我们探讨某些人的心理共性。

　　其一就是对别人的隐私，尤其是名人隐私，具有强烈的好奇心：“反正已在网上流传，看一看没什么吧，好多人都看了呢，我也来看看他们的床照究竟如何”。

　　大家抱着类似的心态，纷纷捧场观看，结果造成了“集体偷窥”的状况。对于这回的淫照，好多网友遍寻不获，还捶胸顿足，四处打探呢！

　　其二，有些人，确切说是粉丝们，一个有趣的心理现象就是近乎掩耳盗铃的驼鸟政策。艺人偶像只不过是商业社会包装出来的产品，为了畅销需要，才把一些俊男美女打造出我们所看到的完美形象。

　　偶像，原本就不存在，举凡是人，便会存在这样那样的短处。既然如此，我们吃饭，偶像也会吃饭，我们吃醋，偶像也会。健康的成年人所需要的性生活，偶像当然也需要。

　　简单说，偶像就是外表好看，比普罗大众多些艺术天分的人。偏偏好些人视他们为不食人间烟火的王子、仙女，以为其样样皆美好，对他们的热爱崇拜比对自己的父母还多。而经纪公司从利益考量，推波助澜，借助媒体把他们塑造得尽善尽美，更加深了人们的误会。

　 　说实话，我有时挺同情这些艺人，普通人要做什么说什么都随意，可他们不成，好多话都得深思熟虑说出口，好多动作得排练无数遍才做出来，这容易么？好不容 易回到家，关起门来，显示一下真我的风采，拍一下情趣照，却被某个无名氏在修电脑时偷劫出来，弄得灰头土脸，里外不是人。

　　偶像其实也挺委屈：我只不过犯了个技术上的错误，没有及时销毁私人纪念照，让你们看了去，还便宜你们饱眼福呢！干吗对我不依不饶的，我又不是婚外恋，男未婚，女未嫁，爱干什么都是自己的事。

　　但也有人会理直气壮地说，作为艺人偶像，就必须得遵循正确的价值观，给社会大众树立一个正面的榜样，这是你们的责任。你可以换女朋友，但十几个未免太多，不可以少一点吗？这在普通人不成问题，但你是偶像。还有，婚前不宜有性行为，懂不懂？偶像当然也可以回应，我也没想给你们看，不是哪个混球暴露出来的吗？毁了我苦心孤诣建立起的完美形象，我才冤哪。

　　说到底，淫照事件对当事人来说，是相当遗憾的事，但对于社会大众来说，未尝不是是一件好事，它令我们反省自己对偶像的既定印象是否过于完美，过于苛求。

　　我们是否能以普通人的标准衡量艺人？如此一来，艺人可有个相对宽松的空间，可以较真实的面目面对大众，大众也能以客观而非盲目的眼光看待艺人，对他们的所做所为可以善意地批评，同时尊重他人隐私和权利。

　　这才是双赢，我们的社会，才称得上是一个成熟的社会。"

You Make Me Feel Brand New
Stylistics

My love,
I'll never find the words my love, to tell you how I feel my love.
Mere words, could not explain.

Precious love,
You held my life within your hands, created everything I am,
Taught me how to live again.

Only you,
Came when I needed a friend, believed in me through thick and thin,
This song is for you, filled with gratitude and love...

God bless you, you make me feel brand new,
For God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new,
I sing this song 'cause you, make me feel brand new.

My love,
Whenever I was insecure, you built me up and made me sure,
You gave my pride, back to me.

Precious friend,
With you I'll always have a friend, your someone who I can depend,
to walk a path that sometimes bends.

Without you,
Life has no meaning or rhyme, like notes to a song out of time,
How can I repay, you'll find heaven, faith and me...

God bless you, you make me feel brand new,
For God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new,
I sing this song for you.

Reviewing back 2006, quite a memorable year de. At least I’ve achieved some heights and found out something tat is more important than academics.

At the beginning of yr 2006, I was quite reluctant to go skol de coz all my frenz whom I really cared for had left chong hwa. At tat time everyday go skol oso dunno do wat and my life was in a mess. But, later I noe life still had to go on no matter how u wan it to be.

Yet, since there is no one to “encourage” me to do my hw and hand in them in time, so I seldom handed in my assignment in time and nearly become one of de “duo luo” gang. Haiz…Moreover, long jiet was at my left and yao zhong at my right so even no motivation to do hw. How can u expect me to pass up my work when both of my neighbours were much worse than me? (haha, LJ & YZ, sorry) I would like to thank those who sat around us (eg. Yuan mun, xiao yun, yen ting, li lian, lay sze…..) for lending me u all de work so tat I can pass up a week earlier than de “duo luo” gang. Thx so much!

Then, the Cheng Da Maths & Science Competition. To prepare for this com, we had to stay back at skol 3-4 days a week. Plus, we’d still got our own society. So, almost everyday oso have to stay back at skol, quite pity de…Everyday go back home oso very tired, bath, nap, dinner then study for 2-3 hours then have to go sleep edi, no time to do hw oso, haiz…( pai seh, another excuse for not doin hw)

When de com was around de corner, I was under huge pressure. I was afraid tat I couldn’t meet de skol’s expectations. Then, I phoned mun ee and poured out de difficulties I’d faced. She juz let me talk and sometimes would comfort me oso. After a few days she suddenly brought some sugar-cane juice and chicken soup cooked by her mum for me, something nutritious meant to boost my mind up. At first, I was shocked coz I’d never expected this to happen. Again, I noe tat I owed her once more. Sometimes, it’s really lucky to have a fantastic fren like her. U could not have expected more.

When de results of de com was announced, I was quite depressed de. Coz when u had worked so hard all the while, de outcome turned out to be like tat it’s quite disappointing de. At tat moment, pik hui was there to listen to my grumbles and comfort me. Her words really raised me up and gave me motivation to continue study for uec. Thx so much to u, marissa for sticking with me thru thick and thin. Although de results were not as wat I’d expected, yet I still found sth which was more important than de com, tat is friendship. Sometimes friendship can really raise u up to more than u can be.

Special thanks to:

(a) Yuan mun, xiao yun, yen ting, li lian, lay sze… for lending me ur hw to copy

(b) Yao zong, eric, long jiet, hong ping, yu cai, lee may…for bein wonderful frenz this yr

(c) Loong jiet’s mum for fetching me home when I’d to stay back

(d) Mun ee’s mum for cooking de delicious soup and bein so caring towards me

(e) Jo ean’s mum for fetching me home whenever I go out with jo ean they all

(f) 2006 6s1 classmates

Thank you so much to u all, u all r wonderful!

New year resolution: Hopefully, I can find a soul mate this yr or someone tat can

understand me

Sweet Memories-A Wonderful 17th Birthday

Today, I have the pleasure to celebrate my 17th birthday with two alluring, beautiful, beloved, tall… friends---Mun Ee and Hui Ling. Mun Ee bought a blueberry cake from the King’s Confectionery and it’s really nice (filled with the precious friendship btw us) Actually, no matter wat cake she’d bought it ll always be tasty and nice to me,really. We played poker at a restaurant (with a very cute slogan: 得空就来吹吹水) opposite Jusco, Kepong and Mun Ee never lose. It seems tat she is a pro whereas Hui Ling and I are just amateur, beaten by her so easily. Haiz…Frankly, I was very happy and touched tat there r still some frenz tat still rmb my bday and could spend time to celebrate with me. I’d never felt such happy for a long time, not even when I get my uec results, bcoz no matter how appealing ur result is, when there is no fren to share the joy with u, it means nothing. I really dunno how to smile happily so my smile might look like a forged one to u all (very sorry) but I appreciate it very much, really. I felt very happy and warm from the bottom of my heart to have celebrated my bday with u all and you’ll be in my heart always and forever. Once again, I wanna thank Mun Ee and Hui Ling heartily for this really happy birthday. U both ll be pretty, slim, tall, young, attractive, enchanting, pleasing…forever! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
What a wonderful and memorable 17th birthday!

5/12/2005, one of de most memorable day in my life. To others, this might be an ordinary nite but not to me. Tat nite, pik hui, jo ean, june, xin min, zi hui, yik cai, jia jie and me shopped together at komtar. I hated myself for kept grumbling tat de place was very boring and this might ruin de whole night. This might be de very last time we all can shop together in such a relaxing way. We juz chat and talk . Girls r busy buyin ear rings and other stuffs. June and guys r helping jia jie to choose a souvenir for his “friend”: Ryan (I think so). De atmosphere was warm and relaxing. I wished tat I would be able to travel back to time and go back to tat nite. I would appreciate de every precious second. Next year, we might not have time to spare together or each might have found new companions in college. For de first and mb de last time, I carried pik hui’s pink-colour handbag de whole nite. When mei ping knew this, she approached me and told me tat she would be very touched if a guy is willing to take her bag for her. So, those who intend to tackle her noe wat to do la. I’ll miss this nite forever. June kept drumming into our ears tat she would not be able to watch her favorite show: Lost. Being influenced by her I start following Lost too. Now, i wanna admit tat i'm so lost without pik hui&gang.....
