05.05.008 :: 这就是我的十届。
I koped this from Jiamin's blog. Thanks Xuchang for the wonderful video. Makes me cry. :(

28.04.008 :: 我疯你。
昨天是十一届执委的就职典礼。
这意味着十届的结束、十届的短暂、十届的终结。
没错，我叫我自己不要这么去想，因为我知道十届的legend一定会继续活下去，但是内心的空虚却使我无法呼吸。
十届其实早已不只是十届，它已经变成了一个家庭、一个避风港、一个能让我找到归属感的地方。
这就是十届的魔力，十届的精彩。
相信在未来的礼拜天里，我都会觉得少了点什么，多了一点什么。
少了一点原有的欢笑、少了一点原有的疯狂、少了一点原有的繁忙。
多的是那一点点的怀念、那一点点的空虚、那一点点的惦记。
十届所给的是我无法形容的。所以，我祈祷十届的传奇会是永恒不灭的。
谢谢你，十届。
我疯你，十届。

26.04.008 :: This is my life.
I just cleaned up my crazy-ass dirty room.
I had candy wrappers everywhere and pieces of paper flying around. I am glad I felt motivated enough to clear up everything and on top of that, I actually changed my bedsheets. I TEH HAPPY!
Okay so now I am lying on my CLEAN AND GOOD-SMELLING bed, doing this blog entry for you.
Anyway I went back to SPH today for 11 jie's investiture rehearsal. I MISS MY SHI JIE SO MUCH!!
Hopefully everything goes well tomorrow. :)
And to that someone who tagged this on my board:

(:: Glad to see that you're blogging again. (: You don't know me, and neither do I actually know you. But, reading your blog motivates me to continue to have faith. Thanks. :D"
You are welcome and I appreciate your comments. It's stuff like these that keep me going. :) Love!
Alright nights world!

Have you ever wondered, how many mistakes like this do we have to make in our life-time?

20.04.008 :: Four dollars and negative fifty cents.
This morning I felt random.
I went to the vending machine and purchased a can of guava juice.
Never really liked it, but I do miss its taste.
Tonight I learnt about the stories behind each and every cranberry.
And why nothing is actually something that simply doesn't exist...

17.04.008 :: The Quiet World.
In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
the government has decided to allot
each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.
When the phone rings, I put it
to my ear without saying hello.
In the restaurant I point
at chicken noodle soup. I am
adjusting well to the new way.
Late at night, I call my long
distance lover and proudly say
I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.
When she doesn’t respond, I know
she’s used up all her words
so I slowly whisper I love you,
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.

15.04.008 :: I can see the world through your eyes.
Something that made me tear:

14.04.008 :: Live every second like it was my last one.
From now onwards, I shall try to blog as often as I can. :)
Don't know why but my blogivation is back. Which is great, considering the fact that I really enjoying penning my thoughts down. :D
Anyway I always wanted to say this but I never had a chance:
ALL IPOD USERS PLEASE GO GET A GOOD PAIR OF EARPHONES AND DO NOT USE THE ORIGINAL IPOD EARPHONES WHICH SUCK!
Yes, I mean it. I mean it saddens me whenever I see new and beautiful (and expensive, of course) iPod classics with stupid iPod earphones. It's like eating a lobster meal in a garbage truck; going for a LV event in FBTs; and whatever stupid examples you can think of. HELLO, you spent $400+ buying that sexy iPod and yet you let yourself down by using such lousy and crappy earphones? Like wow. Totally insane! Just invest $45 on some average Creative or $60 on a pair of durable Sony earphones. It's worth the investment. Really. Good music don't come with lousy earphones. Trust me.
Oh, Liz and I had a crazy time trying to "dance" through the rain this afternoon. It has been a long while since I last walked in the rain. I miss that feeling so much.
Okay that's all I have for today. I shall go do my art. :)
PS: Hikki's new album, "Heart Station" is a great buy. :D
PPS: I AM GOING TO WORK ON MY NEW LAYOUT SOON SO PLEASE STAY TUNED!
PPPS: Tell the world I am blogging again! :D

13.04.008 :: Unshakable.
Life concert '08 was fantastic.
I will make it a point to go back every year for Life. The experience is too amazing for anyone to miss.
Anyway as a Christian, I know how the faith of one is constantly being challenged by things that we cannot control.
This morning, I don't know why, but an atheist video popped up on youtube. I watched it and it affected me so much. One, I don't know why people would make such videos to destroy the faiths of many. Two, I was appalled at how much I actual thought about the content when I know that i should be faithful and strong. I should not be doubtful when it comes to God's love for us. But the sad thing is that I actually wanted answers. I wanted answers to questions I already know why. I just can't explain why such thoughts are actually running through my mind.
It didn't help much when I actually watched 1/3 of the movie, "Jesus Camp", this morning. It sort of like portrays Christians as immoral people who exploit and brainwash children. It's saddening and I stopped the movie half-way. I didn't know what was God's message to me. Why did He want me to see all these?
And then the song "You are God alone" shuffled up from iTunes.
You are not a god
Created by human hands
You are not a god
Dependant on any mortal man
You are not a god
In need of anything we can give
By Your plan, that's just the way it is
You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
Your are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are the only God
Whose power none can contend
You are the only God
Whose name and praise will never end
You are the only God
Who's worthy of everything we can give
You are God
And that's just the way it is
Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That’s what You are
Many of the times the atheist challenge the faith of us, the believers. They ask questions like "How can you believe in what the Bible says when there are so many anti-scientic claims? Why do your God let people suffer when He is supposed to be all good and holy? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why can't your God heal everyone who is sick so that our world would be a better place? Why doesn't your God answer your prayers immediately?"
Yes, all of your questions make sense. But you know what? I've got questions for you as well.
Why don't you use science to explain to me why is it that the components of blood give blood a red and not pink colour? Why don't you use science to explain to me why we have 2 ears instead of 4? Why don't you use science to explain why do we have an appendix when we can live fine without it? Who made such things happen? Who decides upon such facts? Why don't you explain these to me?
And just like how you can't explain such things, I can't explain why God allows bad things to happen to good people. Just like how you can reply "'Cause that's just the way it is" to the questions I've posed above, I can tell you the same thing. That's just the way it is. Yeah, it's true. But I do believe in one thing, and that is, God has plans for each and everyone of us. He may let you suffer so that you can be strong; He may make you poor so that you can learn how to treasure whatever you have; He may take your loved ones away so that you can learn not to take things for granted. He has a plan for each and everyone of you. I may not know what yours is, but He knows each by name, and He knows each by heart, and hence He has a plan for you.
You know I have always been puzzled with what God really wants me to do. How does He want me to reach out to the pre-believers? I guess I found my answer today. I can reach out to people on my blog and today, I just learnt one way on how God answers questions. :)
God bless. :)

18.03.008 :: 靠近。
走在人挤人的走道我问了自已
没有爱情的人是否会长命
那些电影常常让人感觉甜蜜
但是我不相信
坐在没有人的角落我又问自已
究竟应该继续还是该放弃
没有人能了解我现在的心情
想看你想躲你难以决定
每当我想靠近你总会装冷静
眼看你的表情仿佛已经说明
我只想要证明我们这段爱情
也许在你眼里它只是个游戏
我只想要靠近也很想要抱紧
会想到那过去和现在新的你
我还想要参与你的生活点滴
只要你肯相信
我一定会陪你走下去
能不能够让我再说我爱你
还是你已不想听
能不能够把你彻底的忘记
我是真的搞不清

28.02.008 :: I almost died.
Okay I know I suck. I haven't updated in like 193 years. After seeing curses thrown at me on my tagboard, I have finally decided to revive my once-so-glorious blog.
I had like 2 papers today. GP and C-lit. Did pretty okayly (yes fine no such word but I bu care, since I haven't blogged for like 351 years I have the rights to make as many mistakes as I want)... C-lit was great 'cause I actually managed to use most of the things I've studied. Quite satisfied (like for once)...
I don't know what to update you guys on... Basically my life is just feng nv nowadays. Too many things happening and I am too lazy to list down everything. If you wanna know you can visit my private blog, which doesn't exist right now and probably never will 'cause as I have said, I am just too lazy.
Okay this post sucks. Bye world.
PS: KBOX TMR! :D :D
22:48
29.01.008 :: 9 days.
Everyday there are like 5000 things I want to blog about but I am just too lazy.
Does anyone know how to make someone less lazy? Or like whether there's like such a thing as stop-the-laziness pills. I will buy like 5 boxes.
Many, many things happened and today I shall highlight some of them.
...
.....
.......
Okay which is NO highlight 'cause I forgot everything! THIS IS THE SUCK! AHHHHHH!
Oh, "The Mist"! Yeah I wanted to blog about "The Mist"...
Basically I wouldn't call this show a failure, though the acting was so pathetic it made Wayne and I really, really sad.
The story was nicely crafted and the CG was above average. Wasn't as impressive as "Cloverfield", duh. Hahahaha...
And gosh I hate the way how Stephen King / the movie director portrayed that Christian / Catholic woman in the movie. It scared me and in a way, pissed me off. It seemed like as though all Christians are retarded psychos... SO SAD!
YES, the ending. I don't know what is the reason for having such a (#*31!(10$@! ending but I guess it served its purpose to piss the entire threater off.
Okay enough of the bashing before people like Ed kills me. HAHAHA!
Alright so that's about it. That's all I'm gonna blog about today. YAY!
PS: Visit Javier's blog if you want to find out about the SJI campfire. :)

20.01.008 :: Glorified.
Glorfied, with spirits awakened... and the faith of many renewed.
I guess Worship Under the Stars had served its purpose, which is to minister to whoever that attended the event that day. It was an awesome time of worship and praise. God reigns! :)
Somehow after the event, I felt this suddenly emptiness that was mixed with a sense of relief. Relieved that months of hardwork paid off and that everything went smoothly, but empty at the fact that something that I had always been looking forward to is over.
I will miss the practices we had and everything the band had went through together. To Helsa, Vignette, Josh, Isaac, Teck Jin, Ethel, Eliza, Liz and Eugene: You guys did a great job and it has been great fun worshiping with you guys. WUTS is an experience I will never forget. :)
Just wanna thank CF, my comm, the Madams, Aunty Ros, MRC, and everyone who attended the event on that day. Without you people, WUTS would not have been possible. And of course, much love to all my friends who came to support the event! (From A to Z) Anna, Gabriel, Javier, June, Li Xue, Lucas, Phoenix, Tania and YY! LOVE! :)
Leading WUTS with my friends was truly an unforgettable experience. 18/01/08 is a day I will remember for a lifetime. Praise HIM! :)
Met up with Javier and Wayne to mug yesterday but clearly we failed 'cause we ended up eating and talking. BOOHOO.
Phi came joining us after Wayne left. The three of us watched "Cloverfield" at AMK hub together. AND GOSH, IT-WAS-FANTASTIC.
This film is now officially my favourite movie of all-time. Hahaha...
Well, I have always been a great fan of movies with such a theme. Monsters, cities destroyed, people escaping. Yep. Like "The Host", like "Independence Day", and like "War of the Worlds"... But this one, it is just so different and unique.
No proper direction, no music, no nothing. This movie was shot entirely from a video-cam's point of view. This is the only movie I've seen that was directed in such a manner... Okay, maybe "Blair Witch Project" as well...
I don't want to talk much about the movie but I think everyone should go to the theaters to watch it. It is an amazing production that you shouldn't miss. Never in my life have I enjoyed a movie so much. Trust me, it's good. :)
After the movie, Javier left for Chinatown. Phi and I went to this weird place to have steamboat for dinner. WE ATE LIKE SOME PIG HUMANS! But it was really fun. :D YUM YUM!
Okay it's getting late and I am super tired! TOOOOOOOMOOORRROOOWWW: CHURCH IN THE MORNING AND ZAOBAO IN THE AFTERNOON! WAHHH!
Nights world. :)

15.01.008 :: Worship Under the Stars.
I AM STILL ALIVE PEOPLE! :D
Sorry for the lack of updates, school is killing me! AHH!
Have been reading alot recently for some unidentified reasons. Finished two books in 2 weeks. "Fever" by Robin Cook and "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom.
"Tuesdays with Morrie" is one of the most inspirational stories I have ever read. Mitch Albom is indeed very talented. Can't wait to get my hands on "For one more day."
Okay actually the main purpose of today's post is to advertise for WUTS (Worship Under The Stars)! :D
It's gonna be held in ACJC, this friday, at 6:30pm. The band spent weeks rehearsing and stuff, and we will make sure you have a great time of worship UNDER THE STARS! :) Pray for a clear sky and NO NO NO NO rain. :)
Be there yeah? Drag your OG mates or classmates along! It is okay to come even if you are not Christian. Come and experience a great night with us! :)
Okay I am done with that. :)
I totally miss my jiemeis, our meeting last Sunday was too damn short. Got to go out more often. Hope to see you peeps this friday! :)
Alright I got to run, bye world!
PS: Yang Zong Wei's new album is totally awesome.

06.01.008 :: Depart.
It didn't felt like this long.
Slowly, this agony seeps into my veins and it's hard to find anything that can ease the pain.
I tell myself a hundred times that it's going to be alright and everything will be fine soon. I am going to believe that this is going to happen.
Leaving wasn't an easy decision to make. But I want to, and it will happen.
I still worry about you, and I do think about our past. The days we spent together, and those days of sweet melancholy.
Maybe this turning point was made at the right time.
Maybe it is meant to be this way.
Maybe... that's how fate wants us to be.
Maybe... that's love.
take care love.
02.01.008 :: 2008?!
BEIJING 2008!!! YAY!
HAHA okay you know it's hard choosing a nice blog song for new year, 'cause all that comes to my mind are stupid Chinese new year songs. DONG DONG DONG QIANG!
Okay retarded things aside, I just wanna wish everyone a really blessed and happy new year. It's 2008! A new year. How time flies! :D
I had alot of fun this last week. Sorry for the lack of entries, I am too tired to blog most of the time.
Went out with Javier, June and Phoenix on the 27th! We went to Partyworld again, after trying to "study"... Hahaha... JAVIER AND PHI ARE JUST SUPER DRAMA DAO BAO when they sing. Hahaha it's HILARIOUS! Anyway Zac came along as well. It was really fun. :D
The next day, Javier, June, Phoenix (the 3 of them, yet again... hahaha), WAYNE and I went for a movie together. We watched "The Warlords." Frankly speaking I think it's better than I expected. But I don't understand why is Jet Li so FAT?! He is like some zhu nan! SIAO! I was shocked when I saw his obesity.
I had a short "Worship Under the Stars" practice on Sunday afternoon. Really sorry to my comm for not being able to make it for the party that night. I had to go for my Zaobao chalet. PAISEH! :D
Speaking of which, I had alot of fun in the chalet. It was held @ the same place as my 206 chalet. Thanks to Mincong for organising! :D Great to see all my Zaobao friends again, after like so long...
Okay basically that is all I have to say. I apologise for not posting up photographs lately, I am just TOO BUSY (or lazy) to do so. But nevertheless, I still love you guys! YAY!
Time to sleep. FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL TOMORROW!
June and I are gonna welcome Lixue to ACJC! HAHAHA!
NIGHTS WORLD! :)
PS: I shall end off today's post with my favourite video of 2007: Xiao Jing Teng's "Shi Jie Wei Yi De Ni"... I think I contributed 900,000 of its 1,000,000 views.

25.12.007 :: When Christmas comes to town...
Yes, WG's back to Singapore! :)
These few days had been really wild and stuff. Got to meet up and catch up with some of my closest friends.
Had a drinking party @ Anna's house with Anna, Charlotte, Connie, Gabriel, Javier and June. Was a great night.
Spent my Christmas eve at Party World with Arthur, June, Li Xue, Lucas, Wayne and YY. Orchard was crazily packed. Stayed up to talk with June and Lucas for the entire morning. I just got home and the time is 7+ already. Hahaha... Need to catch up with sleep, still have to attend the Christmas service later.
Merry Christmas!

18.12.007 :: Pillows and forgotten.
Last night I made a man
out of pillows and forgotten
fragments of clothes
we’d pushed into my drawers.
I held my pillow-man’s hand
and made sure he wasn’t too warm
because it is summer;
I’m on the second floor;
and that was always your
biggest complaint.
This morning I tried to shower
but would turn off the water and run
like a soapy dog, complete with
loyal tail wagging, to the door
thinking you’d come knocking.
You hadn’t.
Tomorrow will taste like
the food of a week ago
and I’ll wear sunglasses,
which, if you know me,
(and you do)
will seem out of context
and like a little girl
playing dress up.
I know there are supposed to be
thunderstorms, perfect
radio love songs, movies with Meg
Ryan and wondering when we’ll meet
again,
but God
doesn't budge on the details.

14.12.007 :: 成长的过程.
It seems like as though it is only when something happens, you feel inspired to write stuff that you would have never imagined you would ever write. This took me 15 minutes.
从一个人呱呱坠地的那天开始，他就不曾停过成长。日复一 日，年复一年，人生的日子就一天一天的这么过去。乐观的 人会告诉你成长是种无比的精彩，而悲观的人却会跟你说成 长是个痛苦的煎熬。
从以前那个天真无暇的小孩到往后体弱多病的老人，我们证 实的是“时间不留人”的这个道理，而跟随着时间脚步一起 走过的不只是岁月，陪伴着的其实是人类的改变。
以前那个会无条件爱你的小男孩可能已经不再存在，因为当 一个看到了这人世上的丑陋，他的心灵也会跟着脆弱，心中 的爱河也会因为这心灵上的空洞而早有一天会随着时间而慢 慢耗干。这是一种悲哀，是成长过程中最逼真的一种写实。
成长过程的滋味，我相信每个走过来的人都会有不同的体会 。有的事情是大人是无法了解的，应为他们老是以为自己了 解，以为自己走过，所以明白。但事实真是如此吗？难道你 以为自己的某些决定真的是最好的吗？难道你以为自己的孩 子真的什么都不懂吗？你是否真的有想过孩子心理到底想的 是些什么？你是否有考虑过在他的生命中什么才是最主要的 ？你是否。。。真地了解他？知道他喜欢什么颜色，喜欢吃 什么，上网时会做些什么，心里面到底想这些什么吗？你是 否有尝试过去了解？
很多时候在成长的过程中，我们都会因各种各样的约束而把 自己的翅膀捆绑起来。很多话埋在心里会不敢说，说了怕后 悔，说了怕会伤害到别人。有时大人不讲道理的时候，其实 自己只能选择沉默。成长的过程让很多人领悟到了沉默的力 量。这种力量来自于一种无奈，一种清醒，一种悔恨。但有 的人说沉默才是罪魁祸首，因为事情总会因为一个人的沉默 而无法得到结果。不幸的是，在我们孤独的都市里，已经有 千千万万个人选择了沉默，来掩饰心中无比的痛苦。
步入18岁，以后的日子还会很长。是否问过自己：有没有 人设法去了解过你心中的心愿，梦想与对未来的憧憬？或许 只有你真正相信的人才能使你打开心房。
你知道吗，也许这就是成长的过程。。。
the time doesn't matter this time
11.12.007 :: 2008.
I do this every year, which is to make plans for the upcoming year.
Well, the sad thing is that whenever I look back at my life, I realise that I always fail to meet most of the expectations I set for myself. Like for example, to exercise more, drink less sweet crap and stuff like that. I still do things that I am not supposed to do.
OKAY so this time, I am not going to name it "Things I must do for 2008" or "Goals for 2008" or whatever other dumb name. I am simply gonna call it the "I-should-be-doing-these-things-but-if-I-don't-want-to-then-it's-just-too-bad-'cause-I-shuang" list.
Here it goes:
1) Drink less Coke (I realised I've been drinking alot of Coke for several undiscovered reasons. I stopped it drinking for years. This is bad, I should drink like less of it...)
2) Do not use the internet so much
3) Read more
4) DO ALL YOUR HOMEWORK AND DON'T EVER COPY (Okay although this is clearly impossible, I shall try)
5) Exercise more
6) DON'T BE SO LAZY!!!! (Well I realised that I cannot NOT be lazy 'cause that's how I'm like *blame the genes*. My definition of not being lazy is actually to take up jobs more willingly? Like I should actually grasp all job opportunities, MAKE THE DAMN BLOGSKINS and don't ever tell the other party I don't have time... to make the money -.-)
7) Spend wisely. SAVE MONEY! (I should really stop spending every cent of my monthly allowance)
8) Don't sleep on the bus unless I'm extremely tired (It takes me 1 hour to get home from ACJC, but thank God I only have to take one bus. But I realised that I can make use of the time to do much more constructive things than to just sleep and miss my bus stop -.-)
9) Take more photographs
10) Build up readership for my blog (I am going to start a brand new kind of layout and blog differently. I guess I am going to try a different approach next year but you guys have to wait. I started planning for this project already. I am also gonna buy my own domain if I can... Well we shall see...)
11) This is the most important one I guess. Live by the words of the Lord and shine for Him. :) *This is a MUST-DO of course! :D*
Hahaha okay that's all. I shall go watch TV now. YAY!
Nights world.
22:35
09.12.007 :: Time.
I guess this is the time of the year, whereby all the PAE students are getting really nervous. Hahaha...
Okay maybe only those who want to get into a particular JC.
Well I could still remember how nervous I was, both during PAE and JAE.
The ironic thing is that I knew I would have made it to my first choice with my score, but that "butterfly in the stomach" feeling never failed to make me feel uneasy.
And you know when you log in to that scary PAE website early in the morning, you tell yourself you got to accept whatever you see. Right after entering your IC # and pressing next or go or log in or whatever shit, you will close your eyes. HAHAHAHA, well, at least I did.
After you see what you (may not) want to see, you will quickly open up your MSN to ask where your other friends got posted to or turn on your phone to call / sms or scream at your parents or all of the above.
Hahaha trust me it will happen. :)
Well just like in any other situation, there will be joy as well as sadness. Some will be happy and some will be... not so happy. But hey, this is when you show love and concern to your friends. Encourage those who didn't get posted to their desired choices. You can ask them to appeal, or try to get in during their JAE. There are many things you can say to make them feel better. :)
Hahaha okay I think I am starting to talk nonsense now.
Nevertheless, I just want to wish all PAE students the best of luck for this Thursday's posting.
Jiayou and never stop praying.
God has a plan for each and everyone of us. He will show you the right path eventually. :)
PS: I had 2 really great talks with Wayne and Phi this week. Thanks pals! :)

08.12.007 :: Mémoires.
这里的景色像你 变化莫测
这样的午后 我坐在九份的马路边
这里的空气 很新鲜
这里的感觉 很特别
仰望这片天空
扬起我对你的思念
每次来到这里的感触都很不一样。
来来往往，看到的东西虽然千篇一律，但是人不断地在改变。
有的人长高了，有的人变瘦了，
有的人富有了，有的人失业了，
有的人挥霍着，有的人挣扎着，
有的人幸福了，有的人孤独了。
这里的人反复都是在重复着昨日的脚步，但茅盾的是他们并没有向后看，并没有考量自己是否已失去，已得到。
开罐啤酒，坐在电视面前吃那早已冷掉了的晚餐。他是个孤独的人。
孤独到他很想表达点什么，孤独到它只能用抽烟来掩饰，孤独到他无法再去为自己疗伤。
在这个城市里，有很多像他这样孤独的人。
而他们的孤独，又有谁能去体谅？

02.12.007 :: George Carlin.
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember: spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember: say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember: give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember: say 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember: hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

19.11.007 :: Snow.
It snowed today.
I was having lunch with Qi Te @ Pizzahut, and then suddenly someone went "SNOW! SNOW!"
We both looked back. Snowflakes everywhere.
The beginning of winter. :)
Saw a really nice jacket from Esprit. It's 400RMB, which is rougly 80SGD.
Oh yah, I have been looking for handphones.
There are many good phones around, can't really decide which to buy. Basically I don't need a phone that has really good mp3 functions 'cause I have a 80GB iPod Classic. I am just looking for an user-friendly phone that has good camera functions. Black would be nice. A good design is definitely very important as well.
1) k850i. + 5 megapixel camera with Xenon Flash, black. - I've never used a SE phone before.
2) N95. + 5 megapixel camera, NOKIA! - No Xenon Flash, most expensive of all.
3) LG Prada. + Super sexy touch screen phone, nice design, BLACK. - Only 2 megapixel camera.
4) LG Viewty. + 5 megapixel camera with Xenon Flash, touch screen phone, great design, BLACK. - I think it's not out in China yet.
5) N73 + Least expensive, 3 megapixel camera, Nokia, BLACK. - Old phone.
Can't decide. :(
Mum said she can buy me anything. I got to make the right choice. Oh well...
Okie I shall go watch "Prison Break" now. :D
Nights world!

18.11.007 :: Refrigerator.
Hello my friend! (:
It felt like forever. I do miss my blog so very much. Hahaha...
China is really, really cold. -20 is not something that many can
tahan.
Shanghai was great, and the journey was, I would say, rather eventful. By saying that, I mean bad. Okay I have to say that I did have alot of fun eating those delicious (and famous) Xiao Long Baos, together with visiting the Oriental Pearl Towel (which I've visited before when I was in Sec 3), but the entire handphone incident totally ruined my mood. And nope, I am NOT going to blog about it 'cause it is just so stupid and dumb. Yep, so go figure. Anyway I really wanna thank Qi Te for all the help and stuff. It's great travelling with you pal! :D
Mum got me a new N76 and I totally dislike this phone. The phone is as big as my palm. Like wow. I might as well carry a fax machine with me or something.
So yep, I need a new phone. Can't decide between k850i and N95. :( Both Javier and Helsa told me to get k850i. Can someone offer me some other suggestions?
And yes, I am on facebook, probably the most complicated and difficult-to-use thing ever. There's SO MUCH TO DO. And it's all so messy. But I guess I have more than enough time to play around with all that stuff. wang.guan | gmail.com
I finished watching Season 1 of "Heroes" in just 2 days. LOL I am teh pro sia~ Go download / buy DVD / whatever shit, for "Heroes" is simply fantastic. Highly recommended. :D HAHAHA I LOVE HIRO!
Going to rollerblade tomorrow. Gotcha sleep early.
I MISS SINGAPORE!
PS: I need to do up all my crappy homework. And I just realised how busy 2008 is gonna be for me. 1030140194
MAJOR CF events + Fun-o-rama + A' levels. SIAO! Still don't know about my H3 yet. BLEAH!
xoxo,
WG.
PPS: I will blog about my 206 chalet and Shanghai trip ASAP.
23:22

05.11.007 :: Knowing myself for 18 years.
18 years.
04.11.1989. 9 o'clock.
18 years ago I arrived at this strange world.
Learnt to speak, learnt to walk, learnt to learn, learnt to discover, learnt to love, learnt to lie, learnt to sin, learnt to hide, learnt to live.
My life became a learning process, with new elements intruding into it everyday.
I learnt about how much I love the rain.
I learnt about how much I hate bittergourd.
I learnt about how impatient I can get.
I learnt about how lazy I am sometimes.
I learnt about how important my friends are to me.
I learnt about how to treasure my friends more.
I learnt that money can't buy everything.
I learnt that the world is nothing but a materialistic wasteland.
I learnt about how easy it is to make me jealous.
I learnt about how much motivation can do to somebody.
I learnt how to cry.
I learnt how to stand up after each and every failure.
I learnt how to keep secrets.
I learnt about how important "faith" is to me.
I learnt how to love.
I learnt how to love the one who loves me.
You know, time waits for no one. This life started 18 years ago, and it has never stopped.
Hope. Lost. Despair. Curious. Overwhelmed. Excited. Nervous. Confused. Delighted.
Each and every emotion feels so familiar to me now.
And now something new comes into the picture: Responsibility.
Turning 18 isn't like any other birthdays. 18 is special, 18 opened up many doors for me.
I can legally buy alcoholic drinks.
I can walk into a M-18 movie without having to hide around.
I can learn how to drive.
There are so many things I can do now that I am 18.
But responsibillities. 18. Adult hood.
Time for me to take responsibilites and make proper decisions for myself.
At the dinner table just now, my Dad said that he isn't going to care about me anymore jokingly, and that I must officially start to live my own life now.
You know at that moment of time, I felt so happy. I felt that I am really an adult now.
But after awhile, another emotion took over. This uncertainty. This uneasy feeling. This feeling of not knowing what to expect.
This feeling that tells me from now onwards, I am on my own.
I must learn to take up responsibilities myself.
I must learn to tackle problems on my own.
I must learn to admit to all the mistakes I've made.
I am now my own.
But then if I look back, I have never been alone. My friends and family have moulded and made me into the person I am today.

Now finally time to blog about what I have been doing for the past few days. :D Before I start, I shall post up some photos taken on our OP day!
OP was great and we had some great fun. Still waiting for Kai and Grace's photos. AHHH!!
Stayed over at Javier's house on the 1st. Then Wayne's on the 2nd.
Javier actually helped me to cut my hair, which was retardedly long. Hahahaha... But I think he did a great job. YAY!
And Wayne's PSP looks really cool. I should try to steal it away from him one day. :D
Great time I had with these 2 of my great pals.
Stayed over @ Tania's house on the 3rd. We had steamboat! Some of these photos are still in my phone, I will upload once I am ready.
Basically we went shopping for steamboat ingredients and we had a jiemei steamboat session. It was super fun. Hahaha...
Now for as the 4th November 2007, WHICH IS MY BIRTHDAY, we went to the... SINGAPORE ZOO!
Hahaha first Sentosa, and now Zoo. We are like some freaking tourist. As usual, we had some great fun. I took pictures with my favourite animal, LION! FREAKING HAPPY! HAHAHA!
This, is my 18th birthday. (:
to be continued...
02:37
01.11.007 :: Evaporate.
Time for me to vanish for a few days. When I come back I will have LOADS to blog about.
Now I am going off for days of non-stop fun. :)
Take care pals. GET OUT AND HAVE SOME FUN!!
PS: 3 more days to my Birthday! :O
---
At this moment, there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, that war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world. 6 billion souls. And sometimes,
all you need is one.
10:35
30.10.007 :: OP!
AHHHHHHHHHHHH it's OP in a few hour's time. I SHOULD BE SLEEPING!
Okay random photos. HAHAHA!

PW rehearsal.
For now, bed. :)
01:09
27.10.007 :: Taking off.
Today was a blast. Hahaha...
I met up with all the skinner sluts after like so long! LOL!
Racwhore blogged about it so if you wanna read, click
here!
WHERE = Wang Guan, Huiwen, Eric, Rachel, Ebi
Hahaha so lame.
I realised how much I miss these pals of mine. Rachel's whoreness, Eric's fatness, Huiwen's retardedness and Ebi's lesbianness. LOL!
I was supposed to go there to "help" them with their O' levels crap. Which is totally bullsai 'cause we ended up eating and talking and camwhoring and wasting time. Hahaha Racwhore's friend is super sad 'cause we keep talking and he couldn't do no shit. Hahaha...
AND ERIC HAS TO TO JIAN FEI! GOSH! Eric you are tooooooooo fat, and this is a warning to you. Your fats will accumulate and you will just die of fats overload on your 100kg body. Stop eating all the brownies and ribs and pasta and all that fatty sai. YOU MUST LONG FOR A CHIN!
LOL! Eric you know I love you. :D Fat or... fat.
OKAY THAT'S ALL FOR TODAY! Will blog later. Now I need to GB. HAHA!
PS: FIGHTING YIJUN! :)
1 week to my b'dae!
23:06
24.10.007 :: Finally.
3 more days to official school holidays! :D Woot!
Finished up the OP video. Done with OP slides. Now all we need is to rehearse, rehearse and rehearse. :)
GO AC049!
By the way there's gonna be morning worship today, tomorrow and on Friday. Do come and join us at the bleachers!
And oh yes, Friday's CF is gonna be very special. Come join us! :D
Oh and I planned out my schedule for the holidays and it-is-pure-craziness. I realised that it is fully packed till the day I actually leave Singapore. Totally insane. I still need to complete all my retarded GP and art homework. AHHHHH!!
Okay I have to really try to do as much as possible in the next few days. :)
Okay the time is 01:56. I shall go sleep now. There is still one last dry run for PW tomorrow. JIAYOU! :D
PS: Can anyone tell me how to change from F chord to G chord very quickly on the guitar? I don't know how to do the bar version. The open version is just so freaking slow! Hahaha... Oh well...
01:57
22.10.007 :: I hope you know.
I need prayers!
1) That I get my H3 Econs.
2) That I can change the date of my return flight.
:D
GONNA POST SOME PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WERE TAKEN YESTERDAY AND THEN I SHALL GO TO SLEEP!
01:57
21.10.007 :: Running water.
Woot! It's going to be 5 in the morning soon. Hahaha... Just finished a book and several rounds of gunbound with Javier and Wayne. :D
Met up with them (Lucas as well) at about 8. We hanged around at the arcade and played pool after that. Wayne is totally lousy and I totally just owned first round. HAHAHA! I shall not say that Javier is pro 'cause I believe he is just tyco (sounds familiar? :D)... Besides I won Lucas who won Javier, which means ME > Lucas > Javier. So yep, Javier is not pro at all. :)
But still, just wanna thank these brothers for the countless nights of gunbound madness. Hahaha... It has been the nth year we are playing gunbound together. As childish as it may be, we are still enjoying it. :D
And I just realised that our class chalet has been shifted to 7-9th of November. That means I can fly back to Singapore later. Damn I need to change the date for my return flight. BLEAH! I don't know how much I've got to pay but I really hope it's not gonna be alot. :(
Oh by the way "Resident Evil" was super fantastic, and I don't care what you think about it 'cause I loved every bit of it. :)
Okay, now to the main thing.
Like what I do every year before my birthday arrives, I am gonna create a wishlist for all my friends to see. :P And here goes (warning: I have a very expensive taste):
1) New brown + orange crumpler (bigger sized ones)... Though I love the one that Anne gave to me last year, I realised I need a bigger bag. So yep. :D
2) iPod. Okay I don't really care what kind. But my current 4GB iPod mini (that can only last me for 3 hours) is simply too pathetic. I need a new one that has at least 16GB of space. iPod touch 16GB looks nice. And so do the new iPod classic 80GB. :D I don't mind old iPod videos as well. Hahaha I guess I am thinking too much, who can actually buy an iPod for me. -.-
3) Shirts (www.threadless.com!) / jackets / cardigans. I WEAR SIZE L! :D
4) Shoes! Size: 10 / 43.
5) A new bag. Of any sort.
6) Candies! Loads and loads of them.
7) DIY stuff! I keep all the things that my friends DIY! Like Eric's bottle thingy is still in my room! HAHA!
8)
Anything GREEN TEA!
9) Anything ORANGE! Or anything you think that I would like. :P
10) Colour pencils. Yeah, for real. :D
11) I will add on when I have the time to think. :)
OKIE GTG SEE YAH!
16:51
15.10.007 :: Woot!
Hate being sick. Hahaha...
Stayed at home to watch Korean drama all day long.
You know some Korean serials are just so slow and draggy, they make me wanna drop a bomb somewhere.
Like for example, "Autumn Tale", or Autumn in My Heart / A Tale of Autumn / Endless Love (so many retarded titles just for 1 show), or simply 《秋天的童话》.
The first three episodes were great. Basically I was crying like some 40-year-old aunty from the start.
BUT when it came to the fourth episode, everything just starts to get boring.
From the fourth episode onwards, I just want to sleep. I try so hard to understand what each character is feeling and try to make sense of why they just keep crying and crying and crying when I don't even see how it's sad. It makes me angry to see how stupid some characters are. There were some scenes that were SOOO boring and slow that I just wish some random explosion took place and kills all the casts inside. IT'S JUST SO BORING! Walk on the beach, cry. Walk in the forest, cry. Sit on the car, cry. Go home, cry. Eat, cry. Go toilet, cry. Shit, cry. EVERYTHING JUST CRY! Totally dumb! I also want to cry.
I think
Song Seung Heon cannot act. He's so stone in the show. I just want to shoot him with a gun everytime I see him attempt to act sad and cry. IT'S SO FAKE OH PLEASE!
And I bet you guys did not know this but
Song Hye Gyo is only 25 YEARS OLD?!!! Yep. I thought she's 35 or something. Can you imagine she acted in Autumn in My Heart / A Tale of Autumn / Endless Love / Autumn Tale when she was only 18? It's crazy. She is super talented!
And super pretty as well! I cannot wait for "Full House 2"... :D
And oh, it's raining outside. :)
How I love rain.
Okie back to sleep. Nights world.
xoxo,
WG.

09.10.007 :: Set yourself free.
I guess most of you have seen the infamous video of Miss South Carolina. Yes we all know that she was talking some nonsensical shit. Wow, what news.
But hey, here are some rather interesting videos you cannot miss:
LOL hilarious.
And this, just L-O-L:
Okay stupid stuff aside, I've got a couple of designing projects to work on. Need to rush. Bleah.
Probably gonna get back results soon. Need to make some decisions soon as well. AHH!
Anyway I really need my own domain le. Bizhat was down for 2 whole days. Totally insane. I need my
www.li0nheart.com! Hahaha... Maybe I'll get Rachel to host me first. I really don't want my blog to be down for so many days again.
And oh I am in the midst of planning for a secret project with a couple of my friends. I really hope it's gonna be successful. It's gonna be so amazing if it really suceeds. Got to see what happens I guess. You guys will be informed soon. All you have to do is to check back. :)
Okay dinner time. Ciao~
20:26
The past few days with my jiemeis have been a blast. :D
Wednesday
Lulu, Tania, YY and I met up at Vivo. Had my last 2 papers on that day, which were Maths and C-lit. Totally the worst day of all. But seeing them made me forget about all my worries. It was rather difficult to look for a decent restaurant to dine in that night... considering the fact that we took
ONLY 1 hour to look for a place to eat at when Vivo is so freaking huge. The Crystal Jade incident is just freaking hilarious, but I am not planning to blog about it 'cause it's just super embarrassing. HAHA! Just remember NEVER to dine @ the Crystal Jade restaurant in Vivo unless you are there with your super rich boy/girlfriend. Yep. :)
We settled dinner @ this Chinese restaurant that serves great food. Went to the Vivo playground to luan play after that. Got home all sweaty and stuff. But it was some great fun. :)
The day ended off with a nice cup of cooling green tea frappuccino.
Thursday
Went to Cine to play pool with jiemeis. Arthur had his last paper on Thursday so he could join us. After pool, we went for a movie. AND ONCE AGAIN, we took 1 bloody hour to just decide on what to watch. HAHA totally retarded. And can you believe it, we couldn't even make a decision between "Balls of Fury" and "Nanny Diaries." The thing is that we had to choose between 2 sucky shows that are both not worth watching. Hahaha... We picked "Balls of Fury" in the end.
Looking at the poster, you can rougly gauge how much the movie is gonna suck. From left: A retarded fat kid, Maggie Q with a Ruhua hairstyle, a Mr.Bean lookalike who is trying to act like as if he is James Bond, a dude trying to pose like Xu Chun Mei, a sexually confused person, and a huge ang-moh vampire.
This show is as lame and as stupid as its poster and tagline.
If you have money to waste, go watch it.
Saturday
The 5 of us met up in Kbox. Haven't k-ed in ages. We had some awesome fun but the sad thing is that we are always asked to leave when we are super high. Bleah.
Sunday :: YY's birthday!
I guess nobody expected rain on this day.
Went to TPY stadium to run with YY. We ran like 4 rounds and it felt great. Haven't exercised for ages. Went for a swam after that. Feels great to be active again. :D
Oh I passed YY's birthday present to her and she seemed happy. :D
As you can see, I rasterbated our photograph. Well I guess my work is nothing as compared to
this, the world's biggest rasterbation ever. Pretty impressive, isn't it? :)
Okay back to the topic.
So we went to Sentosa together. The heavy rain actually stopped when we arrived at the beach. God's blessing. :)
Okay some photographs before I continue:
As you can see we went into the water to play. Siloso beach was rather empty that day, surprisingly. We actually swam to some retarded island from Siloso. Hahahaha... It felt like some "Survivor" shit and we did lots of silly stuff there. We were in the waters for more than 2 hours I think. The 5 of us watched the sunset together and it was a truly magnificent experience. :)
We did the skyride thing before we left Sentosa. It wasn't exactly very scary, considering the fact that we could see the entire Singapore on the top. Singapore is beautiful at night, and it was really enjoyable.
The luge thing was just crazy. Hahaha... Lulu was FREAKING SLOW, we had to wait for like 10 minutes before he finally arrived at the end. Hahaha hilarious. The whole ride downslope was super fast and if you are not careful enough you may just die from it. Seriously. Hahaha... I don't know how many people have died from the skyride and luge combination but I'm guessing lots.
The day ended off with a dinner @ Vivo.
Monday :: Arthur's birthday!
I was so tired last night that upon reaching home, I fell asleep... with the lights on. I placed my phone outside my room to charge, and I did not set my alarm clock or anything. I slept for 12 whole hours with my phone completely out of reach. When I went to check it this morning, I saw like 10+ new messages and 7 missed calls. Oh wow I knew something is wrong. YY thought that I went missing, or that I got kidnapped or something. :O I instantly texted all my jiemeis to explain what happened and gave YY a call. Hahaha morning drama!
But from this I saw how much my friends care. Sorry for making you guys worry. Thanks for showing concern and I promise I won't go "missing" again. :)
Met up with YY in the afternoon @ TPY stadium. We talked for awhile and headed to TPY central for a quick dinner. I hope you're alright baby.
Okay so basically that's all I have to say. I haven't blogged so much for ages. Hahaha... Feels great to be talking to my readers again. I miss you people. :)
It's getting late. Time for some crunchyroll. :)
xoxo,
WG.
PS: I invented a new word: Nvtarded. It's a combination of "nv" (female) and "retarded"... nvtarded. :)

06.10.007 :: Come away with me.
Time now is 04:38.
Gonna meet jie meis in 8 hours. I still need my sleep. Bleah.
Anyway I just completed my new layout! :D I just wanna thank
AnnetteSkye for the beautiful photo on top. Her photographs are amazing.
Super contented with it. Will be back to blog ASAP.
MORE OUTINGS TOMORROW! I really need to sleep. Hahaha...
Kbox with jie meis! Woot!
