'and kieng wee is like some manly hunk o'meat.'
Added stuff in my wishlist. Yeah, i'm an materialistic guy. (: However you spell that.
I seem to be a litttle late though, seeing that it's after christmas.
ow ow ow. sweat plus eyes.
I just finished a toprock session at home and phew am i sweating! I danced to about 3 genie songs, the step up song like 6 or 7 times with weird toprock variations. It's strangely calming though.
And after that I'm sweating so much that they can actually get into my eyes. If you know me you'll know how difficult that happens. (:
How I Got Past My Parents Who Screamed When I Attempted Toprock The Last Time.
one word. Shoulder-Freeze. (well it technically IS one word. =D )
Then after they got over the initial heart attack everything seems tame in comparison.
okay then. Don't worry about me. I'll survive talentime!
-----------------------
I'm addicted to grooving to music. Was walking with fancy footwork all the way home with genie songs playing. If people were staring, aiya. Don't care. (:
Talentime All The Way!!

----------
Okay! If you guys didn't know, I'm in MOOR HOUSE TALENTIME!!!!
And we'll be doing some type of dance + skit. It's pretty cool, with quite a few first-time choreographers chipping in to the dances.
ANY MOOR HOUSE PEOPLE INTERESTED PLEASE JOIN ASAP.
Newfound interest in breaking! bwahaha. But still working on freezes instead.
And... I found a really really good spot in church to practice! I'll probably start rushing there everytime church's over. haha. I'll include a pic of it. It's a nice open space that's absolutely private and with a mirrored section of the wall.
Okay then. Good luck to everyone for the new year. (:

Just a short post, before i chiong my homework.
I cut my hair yesterday! Now I'll huddle at home as long as humanly possible till my hair grows back.
ANNDDDD
Genie is called ...
Trac Van Huyen !
Quite cool huh.
ANDD As requested, majorly camwhore pics from my holidays. Oh wait. I looked ugly in most of em, so here's less camwhore pics than i expected. (: I went on the Singapore Flyer! Quite cool. But super expensive la. I wish i managed to stay on for 6 hours or something, like what happened.. yesterday, right? i don't read newspapers everyday. It's seriously very very high. Hey look you can see Shears bridge! I think that's the bridge anyway. Camwhore! And no i wasn't trying to do that cutesy bimbo pose many girls do on their profile pictures. just to show the height of the flyer. Er. This is in Batam! One of a series of three bridges with great views. This's taken from the bridge as well. The wind was fantastic throughout the whole trip in batam. I guess because it's an island. Sea breeze 24hr. We walked on the beach at sunset. Then ate crab for the whole of the first day. haha. OKAY! NOW TIME TO PUT ON MY HEADPHONES AND MY GENIE PLAYLIST AND BE DEAD TO THE WORLD UNTIL I FINISH MY WORK. Bye. (:

I just read Francis's blog, and he wanted to reflect on how he has grown and stuff by looking at his post one year ago and comparing it with the current post.
Well, on December 20 last year, I attempted to include some sembalance of a format into my blogposts, because at that time my posts were seriously obscenely long. I don't know how i managed to cram so many things into my usual computer-usage time last year, but whatever it is, this year my posts have been noticeably shorter.
Last year, (wow, it seems like such a long time ago) i just got over what was my first major crush. Guess that at that time I was acting like a frustrated lovesick teenager over a girl who didn't even know me well. Seems like a pretty common problem among boys, i found out.
This year, i guess things.. progressed differently. I see the start of a healthy social life on the horizon, one that isn't limited to boys only. I've made female friends, and that's a start.
Studies wise, i'm not improving. I know my grades are important, i know that i need to start my holiday homework, i know that I should either revise my work or study in advance.
But I don't. Some things don't change without extensive force. I need to fail badly to get the wake up call i need, but i hope it won't come to that.
I've learnt many things i never thought I would try. Beatboxing, dance, man. I didn't know what I missed out as a child. In fact, I'm already quite regretful that i didn't try harder to enter a sports cca. I would have had better core fitness then.
I think that I did mature as a teenager, that I understand my parents more and get along with others. I have a slightly better fashion sense now too, i think. Or maybe that's just my ego speaking.
Next year?
Who knows? I'mma gonna procrastinate and leave my resoulutions to New Year, where they belong.

This, my dear friends, is.... the Vietnam OIP PICTURE POST!!!
*cue prerecorded clapping*
For the rest, check here.
http://s254.photobucket.com/albums/hh83/trojanpony/OIP%20Vietanm%20NTT/
VIETNAM! We arrived frankly nervous, but hey. For me it's the first time stepping on airport runway. Cool huh.
Auto was the first friend we made on the trip. Pretty helpful thing. But sadly we didn't keep in contact. FOOD! Not much different throughout the trip. Except for the toufu parts. Ah well. Peanuts were a real lifesaver there. FIRDAUS! My buddy on the trip. Met him just before OIP. Amazing how two weeks can totally change strangers into friends. Ah. Feel like laughing everytime I remember this. Who the heck's so retarded to bring the same hoodie on the trip. Idiot sia. Oh wait. That was me. Just that I'm a bad clothes model so.. Random leg kiapping thingy! Really fun. And we were asking each other 'Shall we dance?' in that nice movie style. Bballing! I didn't play, but took the chance to be more familar with my handphone camera's speed. Lesson Obs. The interesting part was never at the front of the class. (: Uh. The food got quite irritating after a while, so we were sending subliminal messages to the chefs. Really subtle huh. Oh. And tingwei did manage to wish for beef! haha. SOS village. If the kids weren't so cute i'll be more symphathatic. (sp?) THIS is what I mean. Dancing! I put quite a lot of effort into learning, and i guess it paid off. I got a rose from some person in the audience while we were all on stage, but it was so bright i couldn't see who. And she didn't contact me after that so I didn't properly say thanks.... THANK YOU WHOEVER YOU ARE. Jack and Me! Uh oh now his fanclub's gonna kill me. Wriggly Kid and Fir. She's really really really cute. And eats like a freakin hippo. Ha Long bay gave us time to sort out our thoughts, really let us think about what we were doing, while basking in the natural beauty of the place. I baiscally sat on the bow of the ship and looked like I was emoing the whole trip. Or Tukying. This trip has been really eventful for me. We forged new relationships... We discovered another side to ourselves... We became exceedingly random... We improved at jumpshots... We (or rather, I) was finally popular for once...  I have no idea what to put under this picture. But let's just repeat the thing about learning a lot then.  We discovered a new set of goals, rules for living and behavior, and aspirations to work towards to.... (That was bullcrap and even I can tell. ) And I bought new shoes. Well. That's it! Anything more, see the top of the page for the photobucket url.

Hi guys. Just a brief update on my life, for whoever's interested. If any.
Firstly, I've figured out what homework to do during the hols. (:
I think i'll start sometime next week.
Hmm. Oh. I went out yesterday, 15th. I don't really want to say what I did but i feel super disappointed in myself. Ohwells. Just another thing to be sad about i guess.
Then we have my current attempt to dance.
Hmm. Flares, I somehow deproved. Following which i got really disheartened and kinda stopped.
On the other hand, I'm really training my arms by practicing freezes all the time. My stomach's all red now and my guts feel funny but whatever. lols.
And handstands! I'm like against a wall fifteen minutes a day. Not at one go though. Or i'll look like an overripe strawberry.
I guess that's my life so far.
Going on holiday on Thursday! hahs.
I'm following up this post with some oip pictures. Plus a link to my photobucket with the rest of the pictures. If I can upload all 453 of em up...

Wednesday, December 10, 2008
Well, if you guys don't see me in school in January, chances are I'll either be in the hospital, or in jail for attempted suicide.
Why?
Hmm. I just spent 1.5 hours flinging myself all over my living room floor, in a futile effort to fufill the promise i made to myself in Vietnam, which is to learn either flare OR windmill by the end of the holidays.
I think i lost a couple inches around my hips though, due to them caving inwards whenever i landed on them.
And my shoulders are red. like two frigging neon bulbs sticking out of my upper back. I can walk topless on the road with an ambulance siren blasting from my phone and cars will give way.
Ah well. I'll grab some lunch and go back to practicing.
It's quite cool though, i can do a nice random freeze i made up. It's like a pushup, but your feet are off the floor.
Stupid talentime.

[sufyan] needs a yoghurt fix says:
lol or you could talk about life in general
[sufyan] needs a yoghurt fix says:
and make it sound like
[sufyan] needs a yoghurt fix says:
you're some deep thinker
---------------------
You know, I was thinking about life.
In general.
I was thinking... Would life be better off described as a bowl of assorted cereal?
I mean, see, here we are, floating around in the unknown (milk), sometimes brushing past other cereal, sometimes sticking to each other for a much longer time. Some of us are almonds, some of us are oats, some of us are rasins, some of us are Honey Stars, some are Flintstone Figurine Flakes (those poor people) and the list goes on.
After a while, we tend to mess up the stuff we float around in, (global warming), then when our time comes we stubbornly refuse to go (especially that damn muesli cereal which is bloody hard to chew), and even after we die we be extra and use the imba fibre content to make you shit buckets.
Well, i can't see any parallels with life in the last part but whatever.
Oh ho ho. Don't get me started on life as a box of laundry detergent.
Tune in next time for another insight into the insightful mind of Mr. Random! hahas.

I'm going out more frequently now. Guess that yay! I'm finally becoming a teenager!
I went out with Siti some time ago, to watch Winx Club.
Yes, boys, you heard right. Winx Club, babeh. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but on the other hand I did have low expectations for it. One thing that really irks me is the weird porportions these cartoons have. like... how freakin skinny are they man! And their legs are like 3 quarters their height. And don't get me started on the eyes.
But hey. it wasn't THAT bad.
Then I went out with baby and friends! (:
I still have my vaugely moronic grin plastered on my face.
5th December. The day that I can die happy. (:
Oh.
I think it's damn cute when a girl leans on a guy's shoulder. (:
4:59 PM
Ah well. After dragging my feet for ages and ages, I finally sat down and resolved to write my blog entry for OIP.
Crap, I'm already forgetting what happened on what day, but I still have the general idea in my mind. Better write it down before i forget entirely.
And to think that at the start, I was apprehensive about going on a 14-day trip without parents. It’s the longest time I spent out of Singapore, plus I wouldn’t have naggy reminders from my parents to do stuff, which means that I would have to be more independent than I usually am. Yes, I’ll admit it… I’m a guai mummy’s boy, forever forgetting my stuff, leaving them behind and letting my parents clear up my mess.
But enough about that. In the end, I did sign up for OIP (obviously) and hey! I was posted to Vietnam! I was hoping for either Korea or Vietnam, seeing that I have never been to these places before. I looked forward to going for the Vietnam trip, amidst seniors saying that they… got a lot of contacts there, know what I mean?
So, Preparations! We prepared on mainly performances, such as the super-addictive High School Musical dance, and because of that I ventured into breakdancing, and developed an interest in it. Now, I just want to work on toprock and attempt to learn Flare/windmill, hopefully before holidays end. We spent a lot of time together rehearsing, and our OIP group bonded quite well during this period, at least for those who turned up for rehearsals.
Why do I get the feeling that this will be a pretty long post?
Hrm. I shall continue.
OIP!
Well, I packed 2 days before I left. HAH. Pro huh. I was early! I remember we left in the afternoon, so I continued to practice my dance routine at home in the morning. Then legs ached from all the slamming on the floor after doing handstands.
Left for airport! I really love my parents, taking half-day leave so that they both could see me to the airport. And mum dapaoed Breadtalk! So nice. But I was super-full so I ate half and let my dad eat the rest. (:
Reached the airport! Met Firdaus there. He’s my buddy for the entire trip, so I’ll be mentioning him a lot later. Took some pictures with my cool new cool blue Cybershot THAT I JUST GOT THE DAY BEFORE I LEFT HRMPH.
Checked in the plane! A handful of parents showed up to say their bye-byes. *cough tingwei cough* And we met the TV group as well! We took the same plane, but that was it. At the airport, I could see that many of them were quite excited to go too. Fine, fine, I admit I was pretty happy about the thought of going to a mixed school for the first time in 8 years.
Left! When we were about to board the xray thingiy detected a scissor in my pencilcase in my hand carry luggage. Irritating luh, considering that I didn’t even know it was there. Had to throw it away. And it was a nice scissor! ):
Reached VN. The air there was abit hazy, definitely dirtier than singapore’s. The whole place smelled like a busy expressway. There was the smell of exhaust and coal, not so much that it was unbearable, rather a more subtle ‘eh, something’s cooking!’ kind of thing. Either it faded off, or we all got used to it after the first day, because it didn’t seem that invasive after that.
Ming met us at the airport, I think. At then I was not sure of anything… I only remember that apparently we got flowers, and a student and teacher from NTT came to meet us. Sorry that we were so cold to you at the start.
Oh, to get used to the air we opened the windows of the bus headed to our guest house, and since the bus was going fast, the wind was just a blast! (Rhyme yay!) And basically took ugly pics of eyes tearing and hair in weird styles due to the wind. All pics will be posted up later.
Anyway, when we reached the guest house, I got my roommates, Chen Wei, Ben Goh, and Firdaus. I’m quite happy to have them as roommates, I can open up to them easily and plus it helps that I more or less knew Chen Wei and Ben before starting the trip.
Anyway, First Day!
I was like OMG it’s a mixed school!!!!
Heh. Got to know the hosts. They are REALLY REALLY REALLY SUPER FRIENDLY. I really liked how many of them were being very outspoken, to encourage us to come out of our shells. It worked, because I was already quite.. urhm. Ice-broken? by the second day.
It was my birthday too, and this was definitely one of my better birthdays. I mean.. class ob! The Vietnamese students were definitely very excited to meet us, and I wish we could do the same when they visit us. Sadly, we don’t.
OKAY. This is so getting out of hand. I’m gonna stop at 1k words. That’s 130 more words.
Thus, I shall summarise.
Class Observation
---------------------
OH MAN. THEY ARE SO SO SO SO SO SO SO NICE.
Seriously. They make you feel like celebs. The teacher also drops proper lessons to play games and involve you in the class. Makes you feel really sad when all the Vietnamese do in RI is stone in our classes. Our teachers have too tight schedules to follow, I guess. No time for fun and games.
Oh, and their standards are lower too. (: Like, according to Firdaus’ friend, “Omg they actually LIKE you there!”
I got a lot of contacts, and met a lot of fun and interesting people in their lessons. Their lessons are in essence like Singapore’s, but they sometimes play games like drawing or just random stuff. A few students told me they have games usually, not just to entertain us RI boys on our short trip over there.
One person who left a strong impression on me from the class obs was Phuong, who was just so nice. She gave me a present and a note even though I only said at most 10 words to her before that?
Oh and Hoang Nam too, though I didn’t talk much to him. After all he’s a guy and I wanted to make the most of my time to recover my deprived childhood of single-sex schools, so I didn’t talk to him a lot. However, he was really friendly and caring, and when I was posted to his class for camping I neglected him quite a bit, and for that I’m very sorry.
Ohoh and Hai Yen as well, who was really nice to me and exchanged notes and stuff in class, and also gave me a nice gift (though i have no idea where to put it.) And the imba-long note. Haha. It's people like you that give me a warm fuzzy feeling when i think back to my OIP trip.
There's a whole lot of people I haven't thanked yet, but you get the idea.
1.1k words. Oh wells. I’ll just finish off asap.
Host Family
------------
Duanh (that’s how you spell it right?) and family were just immensely hospitable. They smiled whenever they saw us, the parents were practically forcing food at us, and oh. The kid.
‘Don’t wriggle so much.’ Classsiccc.
Urhm. Yeah.
AND WHY IS HE VEGETARIAN. TT
Nah. just joking. You made me like veggies more! Thanks in advance for saving my cardiovascular system.
I really thank him and the two huongs who always brought us out to fun places, they were just so super hospitable and nice and looked for places where we could be entertained. They’re really cute too, the three of them.
Oh oh and I bought skate shoes! But because I was stupid and bought a shoe with cloth sides and I didn’t do my ollies properly the side of my left shoe is abit torn. Ah well. Let’s just call it style. For now I’ll practice with normal shoes until I get the jump right.
-------------------------
VISITS N' STUFF
Sword Lake, Temple of Lit.
Urhm, not much comments here. It was normal, i guess. Only thing that stood out from the trip was the oh so super super cute kids walking in one line.
Hope Centre
I was really touched here. I cried for the first time in a long long time. Well, 2 tears to be exact. It's just kind of sad, ya know? And the athmosphere was just so bleak, with all the Vietnamese crying and the RI boys tukying around. Plus there's the...
oh shit i forgot.
Yeah. I think 40+ year old person with the mental capability of a 3 year old. She kenaed some nerve gas or something during a war. And to think all of the people there are just so happy so see us when all we brought were sweets. Makes you think, really.
SOS Village.
This is like a whole giant place for orphans, which is very organised. I was not part of any main team who interacted with the kids there, so i can't say that I was touched. I know that i zaosiaed like crazyyy for the performance though. like 3-4 seconds of supersonic zaosiaing during Happy Birthday.
HA LONG BAY
------------
This place is be-au-ti-ful. It's like.. just incredible. I sat at the front of the boat just watching the scenery, while the rest played cards inside. I don't know why, but i was a little ticked off at how they didn't appreciate the beauty of nature and chose their cards over this. Anyway, this really gave me much-needed time to think and reflect on my whole purpose of coming to Vietnam in the first place. It came a little late though, so at the start of the trip i was more than a little... overexcited? yeah.
Host Students
-----------------------
I love you guys, all of you. Really.
Yes I cut it short. (:

PICTURES LATER!
