Maybe god has been kind to me this week after an emotional week. A nice friend accompanied me for the whole friday. Saturday's play by ex-ACJC peeps was good. my first play attendance and i really enjoyed it. It felt good to meet up with Russell, Brandon, Sebastian, Matthew, Diong, Clement, Rod and Jonathon after so long. After which , i went to watch a Thai movie titled ALONE with a female friend who has the most wonderful looking eyelashes. It's a horror movie but it wasnt as horrifying as i expected it to be.

The weather's been good. Good for me to sort out my thinking.

To my parents, who will never read this. It aint easy on me. Yes, im lazy and maybe not disciplined enough to sit down and study. But have you guys ever felt that i'm totally not interested in +-X/ , physics at all. At least, when i know it will be hard => But today, to them, i promise that the rest of my 3 months that i will dedicate the time to them. Next year, i will do what i want. I think it's the best of both worlds. i do what they want me to do this year and next year, i do what i really want. (pray hard, that they will be supportive)
Gonna congratulate my siblings, whom i have looked upon my entire life cause they are smart, play hard and have a great life. They've graduated. My brother's heading to UOB to work and my sister's gonna do her marketing in Renault.
House going through some major revamp. The second floor's pretty empty with the sofa gone, a new desktop and a new fridge. My room's in a mess without my study table and soon to come, my bunk bed's gonna go. I like changes. that's what makes me happy i guess.

I realised, maybe it's time i take the time to really understand myself than to try to please others, or understand others. I like changes, prolly that's what i havent realised. This character in me is causing alot of misunderstandings and making me not have what i want.

to my friends, enjoy this lovely sunday.

Graveyard

2007-07-21T18:37:00.000+08:00

Went to Zouk with seniors last night. Supposed to be a softball outing but only 5 of us plus 2 other friends went. NOW, im having rashes. =( I thought damn, since when am i allergic to Beer cause i drank beer only. Well, if you guys dont know, im allergic to vodka and gin like my brother and now im guessing, more stuffs but definitely not beer.

It's sad i got low alcohol tolerance. BUT i found out, it was the drink that i had 2 mouths from Kenny, senior's friends. OMG.

Graveyard's ingredient.

- 1 - 1/2 package orange liqueur (cointreau, grand marnier...)

- 1 - 1/2 package stout

- 1 - 1/2 package high proof rum

- 1 - 1/2 package vodka

- 1 - 1/2 package gin

- 1 - 1/2 package tequila

- 1 - 1/2 package whisky (whiskey,bourbon...)

- 1 - 1/2 package beer (lager)

They might not be the same but they should be working about the same ingredients. gosh. btw, stout is smelly. The drink is called GRAVEYARD fyi. Now i know. And now you know.

Will update pictures sooon enough. =]

http://www.teamjsa.blogspot.com/

Bringing grandma home from the Rehab Centre St. Lukes on saturday tho she hasnt full recovered. Sunday, im gonna watch sister play softball again. =]

An old man says he complained only once in his all life.
His feet were bare and he had no money to buy shoes.

He saw a happy man with no feet. He never complained again.

2007-07-14T23:48:00.001+08:00

Went for a jog. Picture speaks a thousand words. I think, i need to run more often now. Darn YUI. making me so health conscious now. =(

Now i know why people jog. It basically keeps your mind really clear and you can think properly. Sadly, i lack the mental determination to push myself.

Food for thoughts.

I think i just hate monotonous in any aspect
probably why i always need new things, new environment and maybe, new challenges
which is somehow, i can see why am i doing certain things now

Nights.

P/s.: To my c-buddy, here's me leaving a Happy 18th birthday to you. Cant catch ya online, pretty wasted, but 7 mins to you're 18 years and a day old.

14July2007

2007-07-14T17:24:00.000+08:00

Howdy. I'm back after a loooong while.

Shall update you guys with my life i guess.

Currently in the army as Technician. Taking a course in Yishun Chom Pang Camp learning a new vehicle. After that, will be posted back to Ayer Rajar Camp as an instructor.
Still trying to study harder for my A's.
Need to cut down on going out and stay at home more.

Anyway, went to queensway with Han Loon and Wei Sheng yesterday. Man, i just spent. Bought a VANS slip-ons (loafers) from Ltd. Ed and a pair of new Adidas Tennis shoes. And i wore them almost immediately.

My VANS loafers.

My Tennis Shoes - Adidas.
After buying stuffs, hitched a ride back from mom and sent the guys home. Changed up and went to pick you yi and her friend (my new friend) Clare from Vivocity. We went to chill at Starbucks. Man, they are really health conscious. Drinking LIGHT (Bitter COFFEE). I tried the mango passionfruit. 3/5.
About 12.15am, we got chased out. KUDOS.

Then i sent you yi and clare back to yui's place. For the first time, i saw yui's place after being friends for 2 years odd. It's simple and nice. Unlike my house. CLUTTERED.

Reached home at 2am. Shagged out. Woke up at 6.30 and went to yui's place for tennis. Oh man, Clare was soundly asleep and we went only at 9 and placed for half hour. Clare had something on and went for breakfast at Bkt Timah Market. I love that place totally.

Shall meet up with them again, for Parkway Parade. Exploration to the Eaaaaaaast.

Looking forward for tomorrow. Softball alumni training and Harry Potter.

Peace.

Barber

2007-03-16T09:51:00.000+08:00

Does this light seem familiar? just that it looks brand new.
Before i booked in on wednesday night, i brought my grandpa to the hair dresser. It used to be my gramps sending me to the barber when i was young till i succumbed to the temptations of the modern hairdressers.

The old feeling came to me. The dedication of the old school barber, with their dilligent work from cutting the hair, shaving and finally, helping my gramp clean his facial hair and then nostril hair and giving him a nice hot towel over his face. This kinda level of comfort is definitely higher than those at the modern barbers. Maybe, it should be a fusion of the two.

Over and Out.

Finally back.

2007-03-14T06:52:00.000+08:00

Sorry to have disappeared for ages. Many things have happened ever since i enlisted. And learnt so many things in life too. The army is really an life changing experience.

Anyway, i passed my IPPT and got gold for SBJ, Sit Up, Shuttle Run but Silver for 2.4km (Like i havent ran for 4 years!) and only 6 chin ups. So overall, i couldnt get a silver. But, my old injury haunts me and caused me many disturbances. So the only choice i had, was to be recommended for non combat vocation. there goes my dreams of going Command School.

As of now, what lies ahead is me taking my A'Levels again as private candidate and praying hard that i can get a 9-5pm job which can allow me to study at night.

Will update soon with pictures from Passing out parade soon. Still have to plan an outing for my platoon and i got guard duty later tonight. how dumb.

Daeric - Cant wait for the Bintan Trip next Wednesday to Friday.

Army.

2006-12-14T17:37:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow, 15th decemeber at 2.30pm i will be going into the army. I'm having very strong mixed feelings now. I didnt expect it to come soon. So many things left unfulfilled, so many things i want to do and so little accomplished. Festive seasons coming and i feel i will be missing out all the fun. 2 years, long or short, i've no idea but im just gonna do what i can.

To Core Crew - WS and Huai hui, it's ok you guys are not coming to the farewell dinner later. And thanks the rest who came. I appreciate, you guys have always been there for me.

To Jie - Ever since kor left, i felt that i got really close to you. Perhaps cause i've grown up. Thanks for putting up with my nonsense and i believe in this 2 years, i will change. I hope that everything will be solved soon for you ok? I really do. Just make wise decisions.

To Tim - Look after my jie for me. =) And jia you! you got my support.

To Kor - I REALLY wishing to see you back soon, too back i cant fulfil my promise of picking you up from the airport when ya come back from NY.

To Xiu Wen - Thanks a million bunch for helping me thru my A's. you have no idea how much you have helped me but it's exceeding what you coulda done. Bless you with kor.

To 05s32 - See ya all in prom looking pretty, hot and sexay. Guys - dont dress better than me! =p

To the rest who i havent mentioned - i just wish we all can keep in contact ya? If i have offended anyone, be it if i know it or not, i just wish that you will not bear any grudges.

2006-12-11T23:53:00.000+08:00

Randomness..

As the day draws nearer, daeric doesnt wish to think so much. 15th december 15th december.
Went around to get my army stuff today, got so stressed over getting a pair of plastic frame specs and finally found a good deal at a neighbourhood area. Sweet.

I admit, maybe im not fit to be the game. I guess, it goes like that. When you meet someone whose of higher level and you cant play the game, you just lose. But it's all might as well.

Anyway, going to try to get myself outfitted in my prom stuff. Pray hard that i can get something to work out =\ I just dont wanna buy a normal coat cause i will prolly wear it once. Since it's JJ, maybe i can just anyhow whack.

Just came back from skating, thanks twinny. When im free, let's go shopping ya. I feel much better now. Definitely. Vent all my stress, sian-ness, low-ness and etc. met keynes after that to collect my platypus and went for a drink at shell. Short but i think, i just feel glad i have people like him around.

Australia Trip

2006-12-08T16:10:00.000+08:00

Finally back from Australia. Wee. It's a eye opening, fun and kudos to the trip! Well, this trip consisted of my sister, my mom and me only. The first time the three of us went for a trip. The Aussies are really friendly, nice and i like the culture there. pretty much that i told mom and sister that i wanna migrate if i ever have a chance! haha.

Some EXPENSIVE facts of life =D
1) 4 double A batteries will set you back about 10-12 Aussies Dollars
2) A bottle of 500ml Coke costs you 3 Aussies Dollars.
3) The cheapest food there is Fast food at 5 aussie dollars (just the food itself, no combo, no set!)

For those who didnt know, On most of the days, most cities in Australia and Perth included will stop operating at 6pm! Well, meaning the shopping malls and stuff will all just BOOM. close. And let me tell you, they are very very punctual on closing their shops.

Well, am just gonna let the pictures do the talking!

All the food first! *drool*puke* haha.

The Aussie's version of Burger King.

From the bottom (clockwise) Rump Steak, Lasagne and Seafood combo. Interestingly, they serve only Tomato Sauce with all their food. UNLESS requested.

Their red and delicious STRAWBERRIES! Red and BIG and juicy and rather cheap. haha. I placed them in champagne glasses and served them to mom and sister. =]

We just had to pose for the strawberries. =D

One of the best lunch we had. outside a small cafe, with nice sausages, burgers and the nice wind chilling us when we sat outside. Like mom says " The sausage is HUGE "

One of our best dinner and the cheaper-est. It was at a corner japanese food restaurant. The udon was ok but the beef was really not bad! They had this cool pager that will beep and flash and vibrate when its your turn to collect your food!

From here onwards, it's gonna be pictures from anywhere, anyway!

The train rides there aint cheap man. 3.20 per pax and it;s like a 30 mins ride from a town to another. Perth to Fremantle (Port city) Hmmm, the cab i have no idea as we didnt take any cause they had free shuttle bus all around Perth. They are the Blue, Red and Yellow Cat. haha.

The next series of pictures are from King's Park & Botanic Garden. They have this really cool thing called the Eternal flame. It never stops burning. The 4 sticks you will see represents the 4 army sectors.

Cool stuff huh? =]

One of the favourite place, it was a toilet break plus taking a look at the beach. Imagine the hot sun on you but at the same time, the cool wind brushing against you. I'm telling you, this is one of the best spot to be in man.

Next, we went to the "Zoo". Heh, i wont considered it being a zoo cause it was a snappy trip. First, the really really cute KOALA!

Then the Hoppy hipsy jumpy Kangaroooos..

The above picture, aint it cute with the kangaroos butt facing you? haha. But the reason i took the photo was because of Miss Brazil. heh. She was all alone on the trip, sat beside my mom and she's from Brazil!

Ciaos, on our way out from the Zoo. =D I just love the road signs. i think i bought a total of like many many road signs as souvenirs and gifts.

Then we travelled to the Pinaccles. It was a very interesting place but all we cared was for more pictures!

Finally, i have reached this part, omg omg omg. I'm telling you, this is the coolest place in the entire trip. It's the 4WD and the Sandboarding activity man. Im telling you, it's really cool. I cant describe it but with pictures.

eh. this is someone else driving their SUV. hahas. We were on the bus. The bus is something that you wont see in Singapore. A 4WD bus. Something interesting, do you know that Australia bred Camels to sell to the Arabians? =D

Sand boarding my way down. I went all the way. Mom got stuck, Sister's first attempt was bad and her second attempt, so crashed into mom. haha. It was really fun. But the climb up was tedious man. totally.

Well, the second last day, we didnt have much to take cause it was shopping shopping and more shopping.

The last day!!! We went on a cruise with Golden Sun Cruise. it was a boring ride but i enjoyed the cruise. I want to own a Yacht!

They've got lovely clouds.

Oh, i forgot to add this section. We went to the Swan Bells near the cruise. it's not bad, but we didnt wanna pay to get to see what's it about but just some nice shots i want to share. Family photo, sister and i being spastic. =D

Well, that's about all. Just kinda dreading as the day draws nearer to 15th december. Time seems to be running out. I just wish, i had the chance to accomplish something in my heart.

2006-11-29T18:22:00.000+08:00

Stayed home today. Wow, my room been in a big big mess personally. And it does feel good thrashing away 2 years of bad memories into a black hole. (the rubbish bag)!

Here are some pictures after tidying up my room.

Spent like an hour trying to piece of the black and white curtain at my bachelor's pad. Hah. The place with my sofa (behind the light) and the tv.
There, hope you can see better now.
This is my studying table, finally i cleared the area proper so i can study better. Oops? do i need the space now? HAH. Love those baseball keychains up on the top left.
This is the other half of my study table. With a display shelf and my 9 holes stash.
If you can notice from the above picture, there is this thing below the fan and on top of the window. It's actually a skate board that i bought long ago when i wanted to learn but didnt learn much. Printed a picture that wrote: My Room, My Rules.
Lastly, my Southpark collection since.. primary 6? =) Placed them proper and allowed Kenny to wear some clothes. Heh. The yellow belt is those kinda, strap to strap your books together? The cap is the cap that i just bought recently with a Adidas sunglass. Cool eh.

Man, yesterday, i felt that i was the luckiest person. Hope this luck continues.

Army Daze

2006-11-27T11:13:00.000+08:00

Army Daze-d

Finally, a long deserved break on a nice start on a monday. =)

Suddenly this morning, when i woke up, the first thing that came to my mind was Army. Sheesh, i dont know. I'm excited but im a lil sad that im going in 1 month earlier on 15th December. It's just because i guess that majority of my friends (cliques esp) are going in later. How much that sucks. I just want to have fun. Been playing 2 weeks non stop, finally a break today made me think so much, but it's really nice having a break.

Heading off to Australia Perth on Saturday midnight. There are just some people whom i really wish to head out with and stuff. Let's hope i can plan something. I miss playing softball, prolly join my sister on thursday to her training. I miss so much stuff, there are alot of stuffs which i havent tried yet.

Finally, should i go ahead and try or i shouldnt hust because im gonna go into the army and it might seem nice now but later on, it might be a hard situation to handle? THINK derek. Think.

2006-11-25T10:47:00.000+08:00

Yeah =] Finally passed my driving. Went for Supper with Kenneth, Bernard, Chun Jie and Zach that night. Then second night, i went out supper with Hui shan. It was nice finally meeting up someone even tho ya been just smiling.

Caught Jame's Bond Casino Royale. I think it's rather nice. Didnt expect much so i guess it turned out better than i expected. I will give it 3.5-4 Kudos outta 5. Went ot watch it with grace. Oh, she tried applying for Max Brener, hope it works for her even tho the pay sucks. 4 per hour and 1 month later, might be 5.

Sent Mom & Maid to the market this morning, then i proceeded to send mom to Harbor Front. She's going on a short holiday with her collegues and ex-coll. Heh. Came back, and did a lil surprise for someone. Sweet. =D Hope it works. Drove to JJ, but the damn general office is closed.

Well, im excited that im meeting up alot of secondary school friends tonight. Gonna go for Imperial Kitchen i heard. SWEET.

Nothing much. Just been going out everyday and it's tiring.

Something i wanna rant about -

There's this company called NTI asking people to buy lots and be their member like "shareholders". I mean the deal is nice, with like free cashflow every month. I bet there are people who have asked or are gonna ask ya to join. I went there last night, scammed by a friend to go without telling me im gonna hear all these. Well, i just ponder why such a major project like setting up a wireless city in Taiwan Capital (Tai Chung) will ask investors like students and etc to invest in instead of major investors. Plus, i donno. Just have my doubts.

2006-11-21T21:40:00.000+08:00

Amazing huh. Went out shopping with Kenneth, Zach, Bernard, Zong Wei & Zhi Yao. Kenneth wanted to buy Boardshorts, Zach wanted to go Pull & Bear. For me, i just wanted to chill out in town after a long while. Back home early to rest for tomorrow's test. Sheesh. a lil excited. I MUST DO IT. Amazingly, i met Ashley at the bus stop. Hella coincidental. Well, bought a pair of berms with Kenneth ( who didnt buy his boardshorts in the end ) and a Quiksilver cap. I think it's really nice yet simple. 50 Bucks!

Anyway, will update tomorrow. Hope for good news huh. Cant wait to go for dinner with the guys on Saturday.

ECP

2006-11-19T15:38:00.000+08:00

Here are the pictures for the previous entry about the BBQ at my place. Cheerios.

Happening Saturday...

Went to East Coast park with my JC classmates again! haha. Everyone met at different places and the time was a lil delayed here and there of course. But then, when we arrived at ECP. it was hella fun when everyone started to blade except our couple in the class who cycled. Well, i think my class are a bunch of cool peeps where even tho not everyone knew how to blade, they started learning. Anyway peeps, there is this skate park at ECP right? The blading shop beside is hella expensive. facing the shop and skate park, turn left and you will find a reasonable skate shop. Well, if you are not the pros kinda of course.

Well, noticed im not wearing my specs? I was wearing contacts for the first time. OMG. having small eyes really suck. and the big head makes it look worse. haha. but i guess it takes time to get used to it and STICKING it to your eyes.

Anyway, the blading session came to a early conclusion when jesslyn injured herself and we had to send her to the hospital. I'm just glad she is recuperating now and i hope that she can go for her holidays.

To Jesslyn: Dont worry, you wont be missing out any fun. We will still ask ya out. HAHA. =) You will be treated like a real sick patient la. Just think of all the TLC we will give you. SHIOK RIGHT. you so nua and lazy one. =D

The end of smoking days.

2006-11-17T12:11:00.000+08:00

The End of Smoking Days.

Woah, 2 weeks of sleepless nights. A'Levels, i dont bear much hope but i just hope that i can get at least a triple Cs. Maths was a lil screwed up for paper 2 Stats. Physics - the first time that i think i can do some physics. HELLA YEAH! Wasnt that great but at least, i think it's really my virgin time doing physics in JJC. Econs - i have no idea.

Anyway, intriguing title? Well, i smoked through my entire A' Levels. Yeah. I'm glad it has all ended.

Well, after the last paper on Wednesday at 5pm. The guys went for Sakura at the building beside California fitness building. Well well, it's way better than the one at Science centre! Then folowed by, we went to Cine to play lan. GOSH, it has been like years since i have played lan. It was fun. Kenneth bernard and i had to chase the last 174 back to our area. gosh.

Yesterday, i invited the entire class to BBQ at my place. Anyway, jeannie was complaing 10 bucks was a lil expensive. i'm so sorry! but it's like, i bought food for 20 people, cost was 140bucks. so each was supposed to be 7 bucks. But only 14 excluding Ms Yew came. Anyway, it was fun, some of them played mahjong, some of us played card, some BBQ and chatted away. Some guys can really drink.

HAH. Anyway, we learnt a new game! THE 24 GAME. have a deck of cards, split all the cards into 4 sets. Then each round, everyone will flip open a card. (4 person per deck of card). Then when all the cards are out, you have to find ways to make the card to add/divide/X/divide into 24. Pictures are 10. Ace is 1 10 or 11. the rest follows.

For example - the four cards coming out is A 6 9 Picture. So - Picture + 9 + 6 - A = 24. You can divide, multiply too. Well, there are alot of combinations and there are non working combination. The last player who cant form out, will get all the 4 cards. OH YA! you can scam and say you know and tap the table. =)) It was fun - all thanks to our MATHS teacher who taught us this. haha.

I will upload some photos when i get them from Joce later!

Went to JJ to play tennis with Sze Hong, Zong Wei, Ms Yew. Just came back from having lunch with the guys. Well, i owed Ms Yew one since i was supposed to play with her yesterday. HAH.

Gonna head to cut my hair, Oakley HQ and ICA to renew my passport.

Yeah! i'm gonna go Perth Australia with only Mom and Sis since my brother's in NY and dad's busy with work. 2nd dec. Just before i get enlisted on 15th dec!

Cant wait to meet the ladies and guys out tomorrow to go ECP to blade and cycle. Then gonna head out to watch soccer and chill with the guys. Sunday will be helping keynes with something at Lot One i think. Then monday and tuesday i got driving lessons but i gonna meet the guys out to shop i think. haha. Wednesday im gonna have my driving test. I MUST PASS. no time =( Army. haha. Then friday im gonna go clubbing with sis i hope!

Core Crew + Coffee Bean + Candy Empire + Über Burger = Perfecto.

2006-10-23T00:17:00.000+08:00

Celebrating his manhood.

Core Crew + Coffee Bean + Candy Empire + Über Burger = Perfecto.

We went to Über Burger located at Millenia walk. Damn man, honestly i feel that the meat in every burger is worth it. Maybe one day, when i am rich, i will go and try their $101 burger. Wangyu style (something like that). After that, we proceeded to coffee bean where i had my nice cup of double shot cappu. =] Great day ENDING knowing that you have the best friends who knows you the best. OH. The candy empire was great, at least the dark choc with mint i bought was nice. hah. There's one at vivocity btw.

Anyone, yes, it's the birthday boy Keynes birthday today but we celebrated it yesterday. Core Crew turned up. Mmm. it's been a long while since we all met up.

Last Day of JJ Life

2006-10-13T13:48:00.000+08:00

Aaah. Finally, the studying days at ~~Jurong Junior College~~ has ended. Aint i glad. I mean, the 1 & half years i spend there, i seriously felt i couldve achieved much more in terms of socially, academically and my upbringing and my teenage years.

Here's a review of my past 1 and half years of my life i spend inside this school. Hopefully, i can get the spur in me to work hard for my A's since i have no other choice now.

The first few days of school, Orientation Group 7 (OG 7)

The peeps who i spend most of my time in JJC - My dearest 05s32

To be continued.. below. =]

Last day of JJ life #2

2006-10-13T13:21:00.000+08:00

From top to bottom:

Class photo with Ms Yew stuck in the centre!

The 05s32 HUNKS and *cough*

Individual Pictures with the following peeps:

Jinmison, Sharon, Zach, Jesslyn (Left photo), Meihong (Right photo), Isaac, You yi (Left photo), Jeannie (Right Photo), Kenneth

Sorry if i didnt take a picture with everyone on you on my phone. =(

These are the dearest people who have made my life wonderful. Thanks to everyone of you, i think my life in JJ isnt that bad afterall. Despite the hardly hear-able speech from Mr Koh & Ms yew pushing us to the front of the queue, you guys *duh! and girls* have colored up my life. Let the begones be forgotten and 05s32 was formed in JJC but no matter how much i dislike the college, you guys are one bunch of fellows that i will rmb. Kudos to the teachers who have educated me inside except for some (haha, i dare you guys to name it on my tagboard man!).

================================================================

Particular people i will love to thank.

My Triple Js: Thanks alot for hearing me talk about girls stuff with you all and particular people inside that i can confide in about relationship stuff.

The other group of girls: Sorry that i dont talk to you all much but i enjoy having your presence in class and sometimes, i do smile to you ladies right!

Sze Hong: Thanks for always aiding me in my work. I really appreciate your patience with me.

The rest of the guys: THANKS. IM GLAD WE DONT EXIST IN CLIQUES. =]

Let's study hard now, and do well for our A's and let's go have fun after that. Holidays! Outta the small island. Outings! Grad Night! anyone? =]

Last day of JJ life #3

2006-10-13T13:00:00.000+08:00

Finally, the people who made my days in JJ the most enjoyable. MY SOFTBALL MATES. i'm sorry that we aint that close or bonded BUT i will never ever forget the countless days of sweating & fun that i have with you guys. It's never easy for us to come thus far and trust me, i still remember those days deep inside my heart.

Even tho the ~~lousy JC~~ has closed down Softball BECAUSE we are not producing results (dont they ever consider why) and stuff, TEAM VIPERS will always exist. They may not have left a mark in JJ but i bet they have on many people's heart.

To Coach MC, im glad you were featured in Sports Mag Singapore cause you well deserved it and you have taught me many stuffs apart from just Softball. hereby, i wish that your business will thrive and we will meet again.

Stacey - Thanks bud. For being there for me, concerning me and many more.

To my seniors - THANKS. you know it means more than just a word thanks from me but i dont know how to say how i appreciate your help.

The 4 J1s - havent kept myself up dated about how you are progressing but thanks for having faith and the interest in Softball.

VIPERS. - Always remaining as the best team i ever played in.

===============================================

For the other people i have met in JJ.

Grace - Thanks for believing that platonic friendships do exist.

Ashley - Thanks for making me think that i regret being born 1 year later. HAH. Stay wild and motivated to break away from the JJ culture.

Thanks all for your patience in scrolling down. Hope you have enjoyed. Leave a tag for me yeah. To lemme know you have been here.

With love and gratitude,

Derek [a.k.a 69 Daeric]

Finding it hard to understand.

2006-10-12T11:19:00.000+08:00

Well, this entry is just to make things clear about the ongoings man. For people in core crew, and my other friends, i bet all of you know that for the past few weeks, lotsa been going on about me and this girl who is attached.

Last night, she came to me and told me she will never like me and stuff. I mean, i seriously feel good that she told me that. For the past night, i been talking to my friends and asking if i am doing the right things. Jessica and Suyu has actually said stuffs that made alot of sense to me. Even my sister knows what has been going on.

I mean, at least now a direction is clear. No more intepretation of signals. No more worries. I'M GLAD from the bottom of my heart man. Well, maybe i read it wrong when we went out together, when we chat almost everynight and webcam and stuff. But yeah man, NO MORE SUCH STUFFS =]

To joel: No offence to you too dude, my blessings.

A'levels now.

Core Crew

2006-10-11T19:57:00.000+08:00

Core Crew of Seriously Speaking Language School (S.S.L.S)Haven seen this two in AGES. finally met up with jessica (left) yesterday during dinner with the rest of the core crew guys. Man, she's got prettier! facial complexion has improved tons. Interested party, please contact me. HAH. Huai hui, hope to see you soon man. Cheerios.

Extract from Jessica's Blog - Core Crew Member -

The Way We Were.
The good ol' days.

Where the 7 of us stayed up all night on that sticky leather sofa, sat at a coffeeshop for 5 hours and such, talking. Just talking.

Buttered prawns and breakdancing at Marina.
Doing our ridiculous "ke ke ke" rap on the MRT.
Singing "Leaving on a Jet Plane" at the airport.
Cleaning the driveway after the barberque.
Little Pony and Care Bear routines.
YMCA dance at prom.
Doodling on napkins at Billy Bombers.
Kungfu Chaos marathons.

"The way we were."

Jess: c'mon, you're only 18 karma, karma.

Derek: maybe it's fucking time huh.

Jess: Yes it's about fucking time.

The simple convo last night has set me thinking alot.

2006-10-10T09:54:00.000+08:00

~~Happy Sweet 16th~~ - The special someone
Made a pair of shoes for her. Her birthday is tomorrow but just felt like updating it today. Met her after her tuition yesterday and went to Sakae for dinner since she said that she was wearing like crap. The fabric paint aint cheap man, have so much leftovers tho *Anyone who wants a shoe painted, can just pass me a shoes, a design or something*

It's been a wholesome 3 years that i have known her. Regrets? at this point of time, no way. However, we've lost and got back in contact and finally, 2 months ago, i can say that i have really grown to like her pretty much. Seriously, i have no idea if it's worth waiting for her because of some reasons but deep inside me, i just cant seem to find someone better.

"Anyway, to that special someone, i wish you a very very sweet 16th birthday. Have lotsa CHOCS and fun next year with your bananas and everyone else (including me *inno*) Trust me that this path im taking is not easy, but i think all these are worthwhile despite of all the peeps around me telling me to move on, give up and stuffs man."

The box, the shredded paper, the pair of shoes, painted! & the baby breathes, i hope you like the entire package and the nights that i have done doing it for you.

With <3 Love,
Idiot of all Idiots

This feels good.

2006-10-09T21:52:00.000+08:00

1. I will never let you walk home alone too.
2. I will wake up early on sunday, even before you.
3. I will ...

Dogs are men's best friends

2006-10-08T12:52:00.000+08:00

Dogs are Men's best friends.
I miss Chloe. I want another golden retriever in my life again. Shall name it Chloe Jr. maybe.
Taken from my brother's room.
Entitled: Extraneous me.

I may not be the best, but i will give you my best.

Dad's Birthday

2006-10-07T20:42:00.000+08:00

Just came back from celebrating Dad's birthday. Simple things in life that can make people really happy huh. My dad, insisted that he wanna go and eat BBQ Stingray, Sotong and stuff. So my sister and i brought him out to eat those instead of going to eat our initial plans of Sharks' Fin or Crystal Jade. Was all dressed up, then i had to change out. ha.

How things are being fated in life?
Take for example, my dad wanted my mom to park at the road side but mom, being someone who doesnt scrimp on such stuffs, decided to go into the carpark. Then when we sat down, gosh. the "UNCLE" came and waited by the roadside. The sight was funny. there was this guy who shouted "Lai Liao, Lai Liao (Come already Come already) and people started leavin their tables to drive their vehicle away. Uncle was nice tho, just waited for them to clear [Sis say he prolly has hit his QUOTA]. *Grins*

Are you an Anchor or Buoy in life?

An Anchor - Someone who is out to settle down, find the perfect one and stay committed.

Buoy - Someone who is prolly out to have fun, and will float away with the waves and hardly can stay committed or realised, that the up & coming one isnt gonna "long term".

I guess, what my sister say is right. It's time to seek out for someone who you want to spend you life with. Take these factors into considerations: Both parties' background & Family? *ALOT OF FACTORS WITHIN THIS* How life will be after being together? and many more.

Keynes: Life is fair. Derek: Life is not fair. Keynes: Something must be lacking. Derek: I think humans can nv be satisfied.

2006-10-06T20:45:00.000+08:00

Went to watch World trade center today. I will say a disappointment to me but on the overall, i will say it's a fantastic show. =] Portray the determined spirits of the heroes of United States. Watched with a great companion, and get to know her better. Cheerios? =]

Today's Lunar Latern festival (correct me! i donno the real term). I think the PSI tomorrow is gonna shoot up badly. Went to the gym, and came out seeing all the kids play. GOSH. Those were the days huh? Playing with FIRE. i mean FIRE. but seeing the hazey atmosphere is kinda turn off man.

Anyway, jsut wanna say i love my paternal GRAMPS. they rock. =]

Nth much

2006-10-02T12:32:00.000+08:00

Results are what i expected.
Played tennis for 3 days. Nice feeling.
Nothing much to blog. Will update soon. =]

Tribute to chloe

2006-09-28T17:35:00.000+08:00

This is chloe, when she just arrived at my place. I miss her, we gave her away just because mom didnt want to take the risk of her biting us. She had bit my maid and my mom on 3 incidences till much later, my maid admitted that she had aggravated her. This is a tribute to chloe, a golden retriever that made my life to be filled with so much joy and pain and experience the pain of departing to a new level.

Look at the tear stain, just how young she was when she came in, only 3 months old!

Just remember those day that she hated to shower till she enjoyed playing with water. Poor chloe, always so terrified of the hairdryer!

My brother and chloe at sentosa. I didnt go, but i bet chloe had hella time. It was her first and last time there with us. She went to the Dogrun at WCP for a few times tho.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aavxBGsj6ew

To view a video on chloe chewing a bone.

Draw this in class today. Picture 1, a guy sitting at a coconut tree watching the sunset where a couple enjoys the boatride. Picture 2, the couple alights from the boat. Picture 2, The guy is confused if he should remain sitting or start to leave. His heart is more inclined to sit.

The Dance Floor

2006-09-26T18:02:00.000+08:00

Can you believe it? The Dance floor gonna be upped a tempo with Flying Dutchmen, Glenn Ong hosting the stage and Jade Seah Co-hosting (My Favourite Ms Singapore Constestant!) GOSH. This is way too cool, must catch the first episode man! =] I bet she will wanna watch the episode too cause she loves the hosts man.

Doodling in class rawks. -Thanks you yi for your marker. =p

aiwujiwu

2006-09-24T16:34:00.000+08:00

THIS is dedicated to a very special friend of mine who does not know how to spell the han yu pin yin of this chinese idiom. It's called Ai Wu Ji Wu not ZI. hahahahas. Cheerios!

Meaning of this idiom = Direct translation means you must love the house and the crows around. It just means that when you love this person, you must love the person around her too. =)

Thanks Weisheng

2006-09-22T19:46:00.000+08:00

This is derek's story-telling day.

One day, there was this Stickman who went to a shop and wanted to buy something. Nevertheless, did he knew that he will see the most hated sign on the door.

It says, we're closed. He tried banging on the door so hard, so so hard but the door never budged. He heard a voice in his head telling him " stop banging on the door, sometimes it work, sometimes it doesnt. "
he left the shop, feeling dismayed. He thought about it. The decision is in his hands. He never know when will this shop be open. This shop sells what he wants, but there are also other shop that sells it. They may be differentiated in someways, but again, it might even suit him better.

Met the guys last night. I'm glad i did. We were in my brother's room and we talked a little. then we had prata when my sister bought supper for us. =] Then we were in my living hall and we started talking for let's say about an hour downstairs.

Went badminton with some of my JC friends this morning, then i went tennis and swimming with the guys. Came back and i felt super tired.

I made one step wrong and do i deserve all these? Maybe i do. Indeed i do. definitely i do. It's tormenting me. It's making me feel really bad inside.

Another shop anyone?
- if the shop wants you, it will ask you to come back again one day.

after prelims

2006-09-21T23:03:00.000+08:00

I'm glad i didnt study for econs. MCQ was like, alright. DRQ and Case study, i think even if i studied, it wont have helped much. Hmmms, finally prelims are over. Went to play a lil soccer, then went to JP to have lunch with the guys. seperated from them when they went to Watch Singapore dreamings but they say that it was a lil disappointing as reviews were rather good. went home to change and went to Marina Square for my haircut appointment at Chapter 2. Worth the money personally. Met grace, went for dinner at Han's. I GOTTA COMPLAIN. the attitude of the stuff at Han's sucks. The one at Marina. I wonder why. They serve smoothie in a plastic cup. HAH. come on, smoothie in plastic cup, ya will be thinking, gosh. DONT ever dine there. The previous Han's was better.

Watched Miami vice. You'll understand why it's NC-16 and we were asked to checked for our IC. haha. Must be grace, who looks like a kid. Anyway, i will say it's a movie that's not totally about action-packed. SO yeah, do consider watching. Personally, a little draggy. A good start, a good ending, the storyline wasnt that great man. =]

Chaos. Gonna wait for the core crew guys to come to my place. hope no much instigation nor investigation will occur. haha. Wish me luck. Will update tomorrow again! another day of fun i hope.

Right here waiting

2006-09-20T13:19:00.000+08:00

Recently, i have no idea what i should blog about. Prelims ending on thursday. Well, for me, it ended on Monday. Heh.

Like they say, a picture depicts a thousand words.

Right now, what can i do? Nothing. Have just to wait and see. Most importantly, she's a happy girl aint it peeps? It has been 2 whole years.

If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
& yet, you're the best I ever had

2006-09-17T19:52:00.000+08:00

Well, in a month's time. It's gonna be her call. Her call to decide on my happiness or my sadness. In a month's time, i will want to make her the happiest girl on tha special day. Nothing matters more than that. I have one month to save up, and get everything prepared.

My new found friend taught me, to look things outside the box. My new found friend, is a wonderful friend. Somehow i feel, even if things fail, my new found friend will still be a great friend. =)

What my new found friend says is gonna be so true. Everytime, i see her coming online, i will just brighten up no matter what. That's why i know, i'm so certain, that she's the one.

sundays and prelims

2006-09-17T10:27:00.000+08:00

I HATE SUNDAYS AND I HATE PRELIMS.

anyway, found a new friend ytd. What she said is damn true, we are living in a live that all we do is think about ourselves and for others which we think we want it to happen. We never take a min, or she says, 5 mins aside to just look at things outside the box and what will happen. Penny for a thought?

2006-09-16T16:27:00.000+08:00

Untitled - A title to be found.

Never i knew that this was not the first or second time
Did Heaven just played a joke on me?
I found it in the most unexpected time of my life

Realise that the best was always in the radius of my scope

I thought was plain lonely, that you seem so right
Will-ingness to sacrifice my utopia for you
Fall-ing even deeper into the embracement as day goes by
For you, i'm willing to be a friend, a foe or stranger

You will come to realised, when the time is right, how much i like you.

Dedicated to that special someone.

Sakae

2006-09-16T09:52:00.000+08:00

Went to town yesterday, picked her up from her tuition place
then we walked over to Wheelock for Sakae Sushi. Food wasn't great
but company was great. At least, i satisfied my craving. After dinner,
went down to Borders to walk around, and i got her cousin crayons and
coloring pencil in a really cute tube container.

Cheers. Recently, blogging been quite hard. Must be selective of what i write.

Anyway, enjoy your weekends ahead peeps.

2006-09-11T13:26:00.000+08:00

Today's September 11. Hmmms, just doing this as a minor tribute to the heroes who died valiantly to help rescue those who were ailing for their aid. I watched the documentary last week on Arts Central and it deeply touched my heart as people who did not cared about their own safety existed. They did it just for the sake of saving more lives. The Firefighters, military personnels at the pentagon and etc. Just wanna say - i respect the brave warriors who did not allow themselves to die on Flight Plane XX (i forgotten) as they decided that they must stop the plane before the plane hits its next target. They attacked the cockpit and fortunately, the plane stopped at a deserted area. Peace. However, they all died. Cheerios to them for their spirit and to the many lives they have save. World Peace.

G;luck for prelims

2006-09-10T22:35:00.000+08:00

Just something i doodled when i was studying.

Just wanna say good luck to everyone for your Prelims/Exams.
Specially to Felicia, Joyce, Jeannie and 05s32 & Keynes =)) Good luck man.

To be honest - this is only prelims - yes it's a good guage IF YOU STUDY. if you dont, just try studying now like me and try to get the momentum going for the A's. Anyone need studying partner? holler to me. =D

2006-09-09T14:57:00.000+08:00

Just changed the Song from Oasis' Champagne Supernova to Counting Crows' Accidentally in love. For those who know me, this song holds a very special meaning. Yeaps, anyway, just realised that the Music Video is uber cute. Take sometime to just listen and look at the video. Cheers. (Located below my tagboard).

Failure

2006-09-07T15:58:00.000+08:00

Sighs. Expectations too high? Too high hopes? What did it all ended up - i failed my driving test. Yes, i failed. I thought i could make it. But what now, i failed. Just disappointed. Aint giving up the hope of driving my brother back from the Airport. Just that, all my plans of having able to drive a car is now gone.

Just wanna say - i wanna thank everyone for your encouragement =) Especially fel. Oh ya, Ashley too!

This is gonna be my utmost personal entry ever

2006-09-05T17:35:00.000+08:00

This is gonna be my utmost personal entry ever. I know it's gonna receive alot of comments and stuff but i just felt like writing it.

I've reached this stage of life that i started realizing alot of stuff. I couldnt sleep just now. I wanted to nap after coming back from studying in NTU.

My education - Studying for let's say, 2 years in Nursery & 2 years in Kindergarden + 6 years in Primary School + 4 years in Secondary school + Going to 2 years in JC. How many years have that been. That's almost 16 years out of my 18 years of life. WOAH. Brother's in NTU doing Accounting now, while my Sister's in NTU doing business now. My parents' wish. For all 3 kids to be in University - sighs - to be honest, i feel a little stress on me for doing well in my studies.

What if i have started studying long ago. Can i keep this momentum going?

Prelims in less than a week - and i drew up a prelim study schedule and i have even started studying the most for any one exam i take. Can i pass all my prelims subjects? Can i do at least an Average B for my Exams? Well, it shall be seen.

alright, the most controversial part of my life - relationships.

Friendship - It's simple, just wanna say i'm thankful for having Core Crew by my side after leaving Secondary school and to everyone out there - trust me, if you're in secondary school - you oughta find your besties here. Or at least, you will enjoy the most here.

Love life - I just wanna say, i thank you for making a big impact in my life. Making me realised how important it is to actually have more than fun in a relationship. It totally changed my life, to this day, i just can't seem to find someone who can replace you or at least, someone whom i have successfully be with. Been talking to felicia and xiu wen a couple of times about this, i mean i understand what the say but there's this thing in me that i feel that has been missing for the past 2 years. I just wanna complete it. It's been a whole 2 years, i'm ready to take on something and "settle down" (what core crew will laugh about). What am i to do? What's wrong with me? Who can truly understand me? What do i lack? I hope i got an answer to all these and maybe i can feel much better.

I hate those lonely nights where you start thinking how fun it used to be studying, how motivated you are to go to school, how nice everything used to be and you just want it back.

2006-09-04T12:34:00.000+08:00

Went to the gym again this morning. I think going to the gym revitalises oneself and also help to keep you more alert. Think i might start doing the routine and try to juggle it into my school days also.

Anyway, not doing much posting this week, gonna be super busy mugging and preparing for my driving. =) Cheers. Can't wait for brother to be back. So much post-summer sales now that bro got some stuffs for me. Daaarn. ahhahas.

I will get some flowers and balloons for you. hahahas. just a thing btwn a friend & me.

Oh ya, anyway, changed the song to Champange SuperNova by Oasis. Enjoy.

6 more days to prelims!

2006-09-03T09:04:00.000+08:00

I can tell my lil cousin yesterday night that she was the only one that can uphold the wishes of her parents and that will be her to graduate from secondary school into Poly. However, how come it doesnt come into my mind that my parents wishes to see my get into University. She was consulting me about what she can do for her english, trust me, her english doesnt sucks, she just lacks practice. that's what i told her.

"And again, i ponder why i can ask her to practice and etc. but what am i doing? I'm procrastinating again and again. Never do i realised how much hope those paper bears the wishes of those around me, my brother, sister, parents and even the teachers who think that i can do it. Most importantly, my own future. Damn derek. Start doing something."

7 More Days to Prelims.

--------------------------------------------------

2006-09-02T14:07:00.000+08:00

"What a great way to start Saturday Morning," i thought to myself.

This my brother while he was backpacking in United States before his exchange starts. Well, do miss him but not that much anymore since we can webcam and chat cause he's back in school to prepare for his new term.

I envy him but again, he motivates me to think that i can do the same things in life cause he always say i can. Thanks kor (linked ya anyway).

Well, ah ma, gong gong and my god-ma (kuku) came over to my place for lunch but prior we that, we chatted with my bro online using MSN webcam. It's nice at least it gives the old people assurance that bro is doing just great and that my brother can also see that they are fine (you know, about their health issues). He's probably sleeping now. Think he's gonna go shopping tomorrow and i hope he can get what i want at least =D wahahahas.

My reflections since my brother has left...

well, the first obvious thing that i have felt is that i've grown much closer to my sister. Yeaps, it's a great sign. We laugh and we talked crap nowadays more often. hmmms, the biggest impact i guess is that i realised how important i have to do ok (well) in my studies to actually fulfil my parents wish for all 3 of their child to get into University (that leaves me dangling alone now). Definitely the house seems to be a lil quieter without my brother crapping and xiu wen coming over at times. I also know the importance of prioritising things and learning that we gotta look deeper into things many a times that we fail to. "bo chup" is the word that will reasonance in my mind when i think of such situations. it's not exactly heck care. it's just taking things easy.

9 Days more to PRELIMS

Start of Prelims

2006-09-01T20:48:00.000+08:00

10 MORE DAYS TO PRELIMS

Well, today went alright i guess for a start of "muggin" for prelims.

1100- 1200 = Showered and procrastinated
1200- 1400 = NOT BAD! i completed Production (with procrastinations of course) & a lil of Cost.

Woah, bro sent back a postcard from the states while he was backpacking. So sweet of him. We miss him but i hope he's homesick isnt that bad sinec we can web cam nowadays. Everyone's gonna be over at my placeto webcam with him tomorrow. hahs.

Then i went driving (7th sept coming sooooon), and met Grace *thanks for the company* for dinner at JP Bento Box. The Pork served with the Jap rice sucks. seriously. it's TOUGH to chew or even seperate the meat. Feel so artificial. back at home, gonna start studying again soon.

Teachers Day

2006-08-31T18:18:00.000+08:00

it's teachers' day today..

Jurong Junior College

From my Civics teacher (Clockwise) Ms Yew *Maths*, Mr Sin *Physics*, Mr Seah *Economics* & Ms Ling *General Paper*
Anyway, my class great but we are always those sort who heck care stuffs. So in the end when everyone went up to give their teachers stuffs, all of us just sat still. omg =\ So i pulled the class rep, Abel along with me and we ran over to the market place. He went to buy a cake while i went to buy a bouquet of sunflower for her and 5 stalks of Sunflowers for the rest of the teacher. Well, teachers. Can you imagine me being one? =p

Fuhua Secondary School

After the celebration, we (Guo ting, Derek Ong, Bernard, Kenneth & i!) and man, the celebration had ended but the crowd were still there. the students went back to visit all their teachers. The staff room was crowded and at about noon, all the teachers started to leave to the restaurant to have their teachers' day lunch =) Then after that, went to the hall to play soccer, man, that feel, makes me feel the good time of secondary school life.

Ms Hoe, who taught me maths for less than a year during sec 1 and art for 2 years. Can you imagine that me being an Art Rep? lols.

Mrs Chia, who taught me chinese and always making me feel appreciated and spurs me on each time i see her. Like my other mother.

My senior & i whom i met her when i went for a haircut a few weeks back!

Anyway, changed my blogskin. Kinda designed it on my own. i know it's kinda big but then again, lazy to keep editing. Just changed the picture and the scrolls. That's about all. Cheers. Comments? I know it aint that great but at least my blog now being more personal to me.

11 more days to Prelims.

Mommy's birthday

2006-08-27T21:03:00.000+08:00

"Well, been let's say, 2 weeks since i have updated? Well, nothing special lately just that i have been going to my aunt's place every weekend, fixing the comp and visiting my niece, Darn, she's a bundle of joy."

Things have changed pretty much, something i feel that has changed in my life within me and i can say, i feel much more closer to my family now. Be it my cousins, aunts and my family itself. At least now, i feel the real importance of them. My dad and mom are super worried that i cant get into University. 2 weeks to prelims, less than 3 months to A levels. Time to buck up , like seriously but i tried and tried but i just procrastinate. Shucks.

Bugis Intercontinental Hotel

Well, let's get back on the track about today's event. Went to my uncle's place to watch soccer last night, im glad i have stopped betting after the world cup after giving my promise to my brother. Shouldnt let it affect my studies and i think that betting is really bad.

Came back home, had pizza and went to Intercontinental Hotel for Buffet. 200+ bucks for 4 people. OMG. And seriously, the food considered for a 5 star hotel is seriously, normal or even bad? Service was not bad, if you like seafood (unlike me) you might enjoy it better. Atmosphere not too bad too.

Came back home, sung a birthday song for Mommy. Ending off here, gonna try to study a lil. Toodles!

To my dear brother, Daniel

2006-08-14T13:19:00.000+08:00

This entry is entirely dedicated to my brother whose away in New York or should i say, on the away to New York. I would say that my brother is my closest kin amongst my family member. Since young, my brother and i were left since birth to stay with my Paternal granny and my aunt.

He's always been a role model to me, his decisions has so much influence on whatever i do. I just simply, look up to him. Kor, i rmb when i was young, i scratched your back with a pencil but ya didnt blame me for it. He has always been the big brother who has been looking after me even tho there are times when he will simply just make use of me. bleahs but i know deep inside, he cares. I felt oppressed before, i was lost for words during a quarrel with my parents but my brother was the one who dared stood up for me. I couldnt express how much gratitude i felt towards my brother, and how much that had made an impact in my life.

Couldnt really sleep last night, woke up thinking of how he will settle down for the next 4 months. I just hope i can see him logging on soon, just to hear that he will be fine. He's gonna be my additional motivation to study for my Prelims, A' Levels and even pass my driving test on the first attempt so i can pick him up when he's back.

Waiting for your return from New York - 28th december 2006.
Enjoy your backpacking trip in the states before your school term starts there

With love,
Daeric.

Team France
From Cityhall to Sheares bridge. Gosh. We arrived 1 and half hours earlier and omg, it was already crowded. The waiting time was filled with lots of laughter, han loon, wu feng and keynes and was colored with an accident on the road. just behind us. hehs. Damn tired now. Gonnna just upload a few photos that i took just now, and maybe if i can, upload a video to Utube later aight.

Notice the fireworks that were dancing away on the water, that's the cool part man.

Worried for my brother

2006-08-11T18:48:00.000+08:00

Heard of the recent UK and US Terror plan being foiled? The disruptions it has caused, no liquid related objects, plastic bags and etc. I'm getting worried for my brother, he's leaving for New York in 2 days time and i really hope that the situation will improve further so at least, his going there will be of lesser hassle for him. Once again, i guess this will make my entire family more worried for him when he's there. I just pray, that my brother will have a safe trip there, and come back safely for New year.

Nothing much to say, sorry, am just tired =(

Fel & i

2006-08-09T22:21:00.000+08:00

A note to a special friend:
How amazing how friendships are formed? Perhaps only Felicia and i can understand after such a traumatic experience for her huh but aint we glad how things are now? Thanks for being such a great friend, and i hope it will still be the same for the years to come and hey! thanks for your company again. haha.

After core crew guys left, i went home to rot to discover a lonely girl who was at home rotting and didnt had much to do - and that was ... Fel! =) So we decided we should meet up to go for dinner and we went to holland V. hehs. It was horribly fun. Hey fel, i calculated how many times we tried to take the Man and Woman picture, a wholesome 25 times! wahaha.

Went to Subway for a sub and omg, the service there was crap, the aircon there was somehow spoilt? Turkey (neh neh) was what she ordered. hehs.

Subway makes her fat!

And trust me, no matter how crappy or boring the place can be, it can still be fun. *lololol*

Then we proceeded to GeláreGeláreGeláreGeláre (no idea where i got the word Gelato but wth.) where the hungry girl had a waffle with vanilla ice cream! yummy yumm yummmm.. And then we took a funny picture, she suggested it! *inno*

And just check out how patriotic she is. White and Maroon finger nails! Happy national Day Singapore! I ordered a Berry United Smoothie. lols. VERY UNITED. it aint that bad.

And indeed, it tasted nice. =]

Signing off,

Daeric.

Baby Regina

2006-08-06T16:53:00.000+08:00

Weird huh - keep posting about Baby Regina. =) She's a bundle of joy to the family each time she's around. Power of da baby!

Just came back not long ago from my god-ma's (grandma, auntie) condo. HMMMM. family tradition has to be carried on huh? We were praying for the 7th month festival once again. Well, at least i feel it brings the family together so we can meet up. That's great aint it.

My brother's leaving for New York in about 2 weeks time. I can't help it but think that i will miss him. 4 months aint long but again, it's kinda weird not having him around? I couldnt sleep last night, i flipped over and over again on my bed that i woke up at about 5+ and just turned on the radio and lied on the floor till i slept. I rmb when i was just a kid, my brother shifted back to my mom's place when he was primary six.. that will be when im p1 or p2. I cried endlessly. I guess even tho my bro and i dont really talk much but hmmm, i've always looked up upon him as an elder brother. seriously, like an ELDER brother who i have no regrets having. I will miss you "Kor". Can't wait for the christmas to come, he will be back on 27th..

P.S: There will always be a present under the tree for him.

Gonna nap a lil and going out for "farewell" dinner in advance for my brother.

Can't sleep.

2006-08-06T05:55:00.000+08:00

it's 5.51am. couldnt sleep. woke up earlier but forced myself to sleep. Slumbered for a lil' and woke up again. No idea what's wrong. Had tennis with the guys, and managed to sleep at about 1am last night. Idling..

2006-08-05T13:15:00.000+08:00

Dear diary,

My SD card crashed on me again. Aint i glad i uploaded most pics to my blog. how sad! Yesterday's dinner with the guys were not too bad - just that my ulcer hurts too much to be enjoying the food. We ate sting ray and fried rice! (i ate plain rice tho) Didnt have much appetite after going to the gym. Here's a picture of the sting ray

For people interested to try this, hmmm, i give it a normal rating but the guys say it's nice - blame it on my pooooor taste buds. It's opposite HuaYi secondary and their business is rather good.

Hmmmms. came back at night, and designed a badge for one of my leaders. Just wanna share, cause i donno what to add in here.

Oh yeah, check all of you out later. Gonna rest a lil, then do some homework and finally, im gonna go tennis with the guys. Peace.

Time for me to whine. IM so frustrated and almost went nuts.

School finished at 1pm (thanks Ms Ling for early dismissal) then we had to stay till 2.15 for our GP common test. Beat that. The paper lasted till 5.53pm. GOSH.
Worst of all - the second paper - the compre one was horrible. I was so tired and frustrated that i doodled it thru and scribbled. Time to top from the bottom. CHeers. Anyone with me?

Breath of new life

2006-07-30T21:33:00.000+08:00

Just felt like giving my blog a new breath of life. =) Core Crew just seems to be so different now. Sighs. BUT I still love and care for each and everyone of them but somehow it's hard to show.

Lemme just update my life for the past few days when my parents werent in town. Let's see..

Friday

A decent class outing i guess. 5 people from class didnt go? Successfully organised by me i guess. Just that a pity some had to go early. We had trouble looking for a place to accomodate everyone of us and we queued up for about 45mins. I just feel my class is more bonded now. Im glad it is or else JC will be just softball softball and softball. Now it's gonna be Softball and 05s32 =)

Saturday

Went to town with Grace (thanks for the company!) to buy some art stuffs and watch Lake house and we even had Fish&Co. for dinner. =] I had NY Fish & Chips and a glass of Passionade. Damn i cant take Alcohol. It's a cocktail but im having rashes after drinking it =(

I'm say " This movie is a MUST watch " and im giving it 4/5 stars. Things get a lil confusing at the start and at the end but i think it's a niec show and a must watch. So couples, HAN LOON, and people, you guys should catch this peeps~!

Bought white paint for shoes and painted my entire old pair of dunks to make it all white. Well, it used to be blue with white base and a yellow TICK. Now it's all whites and some simple blings blings. Well... here's the best part:

Cheers! -6-9- on the left and right respectively. hehes. Just felt that i wanna a pair of plain shoes that i can fit almost any outfit and i thought, something simple would be a white pair.

Sunday (today!)

Did nothing much. woke up - went to meet my cousins and went over to my cousin's place to look at my cousin's baby. OH GOSH. how adorable. Regina =] Here's a pic of her!

Taken sometime back tho..

Well - parents are back. Daeric signing out now.

2006-03-22T18:46:00.000+08:00

Coach had a talk with us. I realised, the importance of having competition in life, even in your own team. Or else, we do take things for granted. A'Div in a weeks' time. Not much time left to play Softball, it's only 1 and half month for me to play and after that studies time. WHY is softball so under-recognised in Singapore? Why people who had train 4 years for the sports can feel that they need a change from it while after training 1 year+ for it, i feel that i wish i had more time to train myself, or even go back in time to learn softball. *Softball isn't a game for what you people call, SISSY, SPORTS-REJECTS just because not alot of people join. It's just that you guys have no courage to try it out. It's not a test of your strength, it's not a test of your wit but it's a test of both. A test of REAL TEAM PLAY than what you call team play when your "brother" always stand by your side." GIVE ME A BREAK and stop criticising softball, it isnt a sports that you can master cause there's no stop to play this game. I SWEAR i'm deeply fustrated with the opinion of people have of Softball in JJC or in Singapore.

The Picture
The picture i always doodle when im bored. I decided to use this picture to thrash out how i really feel deep inside. I feel all confused, the picture says it. My life is like made up of so many different kinda things, like the picture where there is no ONLY one kinda painting method used on it.

My studies, im really lagging behind badly, with no motivation to study, to do my work but just try to study for my tests.

Softball - My team's attitude has indeed changed but i still feel something isnt right. I hope tomorrow, will be a day that it can all be proved right. Maybe it's time for me to step up to be more prominent.

Seeking for the right one in life on many attempts, things like Woah, she looks like the kinda girl i want, but we dont click well. On the other hand, this girl is fine looking but not of my dream kind, but we click well. I donno if im being too hastey, i donno what im thinking about BGR, even tho i say i should put it aside, it just bothers me time to time after my last relationship which i deeply regretted. I m hastey. I admit. But again, i just want that special something from a special someone. ( i bet many of you will just say, hahahas, that's just so Derek.)

I'm off to shower, nap a lil before i wake up to study for my maths test tomorrow. Take care peeps. Thanks for letting me know you care cause you are reading now. (=

the story of the fish trawlers in Core Crew Life

Why the fish trawler story? Why is it all over my nick, my DP and now even the blog i have just created? This was how the fish trawler came about, on the eve on my birthday, while we sat at Starbucks @ Holland V for a bond together session once again. It taught me many things in life and again, lemme think of what im actually doing.

We started off talking about how Wufeng had landed into his sweet 17 year old relationship with his dear girlfriend. Then slowly, someone mentioned that in core crew, the 5 guys are actually all very different. Why so? For me, im like the fish trawler, catching all the fishes in the sea and slowly filtering them, to see what i really like (what i call, the whack and grab tactic). Trying out as i just go along and i totally agree on how negative this is like, getting to know different girls and just trying to "settle down" badly. Maybe that's just me. As for the rest, they were questioned if they were a fish trawler, or do they use Fishing rods (the slow but appreciated method) or spear (ONE HIT KO!) method, or the releasing the net (1. BIG BIG net or 2. The crab net). Han Loon Claims he uses the Fishing Rod + Spear tactic. As for me, i actually have to confess here, i use the MANY MANY spears tactics, just grab a bunch and throw. I will try to change, to the fishing rod method, waiting for the right oneto catch for now. I really pray hard, that my 18 years old resolution will work out.

Ending this post, i would like to apologise to everyone who has a negative image of me, i know it might not be accepted in many of your eyes but once again, i hope that you all understand that we each have a different believes in our lifes and we just want to achieve nothing but finding the right one to settle down.
