The One With The Les Paul

My mum bought us a new guitar on Sunday. Epiphone Les Paul Standard, costs around $1200
I also have a football table at home now. Brought it back from Perth.







School

School seems to be moving very quickly, and homework is starting to pile up. School ends at 3pm, By the time i'm back home its 4.20. Its like there is no time to just stop thinking and rest. I have gotta do work work work. I'm starting to hate it. However the new friends i've made have made life easier, slipping in a few jokes, and conversations into my life. I'm getting a bit nervous. I keep thinking i'm lagging behind in my subjects. I'm not sure...am I? I think i've gotta get into a more serious tone, and start paying attention in class.

My younger bro is gonna learn drums, which would be so cool! I can't wait for the weekend, i seriously need to recheck myself, and get my heading right. (*sigh*)

The One After

Sec 3 camp was 4 days ago, was 3 days 2 nights. Can't say it was excellent. But did enjoy myself. Haha loved the nature rumble, walked throught mud rivers up to neck deep. Enjoyed sleeping in the tents, lol very different experience. And Josiah was freakishly scared of insects, he brought baygon. WTF? haha. I hate school. Have so much to get used to. Why must i be in RKS Adams. Ends at 3pm leh. Everyday 'cept friday. So much pressure to perform well. This year have to do pull ups...haha. oh and by the way, i got gold for last year's napfa. haha. This year gonna be harder with the pull ups. have to get 7 for A, i can only do 4. on friday we gonna help out for the sec 1 orientation camp. haha hope its fun.

I guess thats all for now. took me awhile didnt it.

The One With The New Year

It seems to come by so fast. Its the start of the new year, and before you know it, its the end of the year. Sigh, haha Sec 3 this year. Sort of looking forward and at the same time not looking forward to it. Haha. i just came back from perth a few days ago.
Here are some pictures.





Thats all for today. Happy New Year To All And to all a good night...

The One With The 2nd Trip To Perth

Ok, I haven't been posting lately, been practicing golf lately. Going to leave tomorrow for perth again. This time with my family to play golf and go fishing and do other stuff. The holidays really seem to zoom past so fast.

I got a new computer yesterday. Really Ultra Powerful computer. Its got a Quad Core processor instead of a dual core.

And i got my Xbox 360 racing wheel. I can't wait for Rock Band to come out in Singapore.

I'll post more during and after the trip. So that's basically an update. I have yet to watch golden compass and national treasure.

Ok gotta pack my bag. coming back on the 28th.

The One With The Last Day of Immortality

Ok, so i'm leaving Seattle tomorrow. Which is kinda sad. I wish I could stay longer! haha.
So it snowed outside the house yesterday. Had a lil snowball fight. I also got more pictures.





Yea take a look at those.

The One With The Newer Photos

Ok I decided to try this new feature out, its like a slide show thingy.
Quite cool. Ok in the newer photos, saw snow, went up Grouse Mountain in Vancouver Canada, saw the Canucks game, u all know im a canucks fan rite? ok u dun know nvm.
And theres Bill Gate's house, its by the lake, a wooden log house...freaking big. all the houses there are like few million.









And these are the older one on the slide show.

The One With The Photos

This was at the Sec 4 Grad Nite, my teacher ask me and Dilip to help do some stuff,
and we got CIP hrs. So yea.
And just an update, I got into 3SA, which was my course of choice, although i wish my best friends could join me, i mean 2 of them are in 3SB which sucks.

And these are the photos from the last 2 days.
We went to this museum of flight, really cool. almost all the planes there were real planes which were donated or too old to fly. Many of the WWI and WWII planes were there. Remember they were REAL planes. and some of the commercial planes in the 1960s. Really uber coool.
Best part was I went up an ACTUAL REAL LIFE Concorde!!! That was cool. haha. And The 1st Air Force 1 Plane. Really cool. U could go up the actual cabin and all.
Check them out at the photo album.

Zong Zhen & Zong Yu Seattle Trip Nov 07

The One With The First Day

So turns out the flight had in flight entertainment. i'm at my uncle's house now. When we landed my uncle brought us to the first starbucks in the world. Then had breakfast. It was awesome. Bacon and Eggs and Toast. Turns out today was the NFL match of the year. Seattle Seahawks Versus the Chicago Bears. Both teams are at the top. So tickets were like 150 bucks each. So we just watched it at home. Seattle won! I also got this guitar software that teaches you how to play from the basics to the hard stuff. It costs 250 USD. But its the best self tutorial software in the market. Not much pictures yet. That would be all for today then.

thats the first Starbucks!

The One With Acca Dacca

I'm gonna be leaving soon, this Sunday. And i'm gonna be back on the 5th. I'll post pictures and more on my blog, when i'm in the US.

The One After So Long II

Ok, i guess I'm gonna have to keep posting.
Recently have been bowling with my friends a lot...well not a lot really, 2 times, and come Monday it will be the 3rd.
Monday have to submit option form for the course of my choice.
Gonna get my 360 on monday!! I can't wait!

Leaving for Seattle, USA on the 18th Nov, coming back on the 5 Dec, gonna catch some NBA games and NHL games and go shop for stuff that you can't get here. And perhaps I'll get a gun!

And in late December, will be spending Christmas in Perth. My mum and dad gonna get me a laptop and a new music and video player!

It feels weird now, that next year 2C is gone, i mean the atmosphere and the feeling there was just great, like it was meant to be, and now we have to change classes. A few of my good friends are probably not gonna be in the same class as me, namely, Dilip, Haziq, Vignesh. WHY!? God Why!?!? I have to be thankful that i did well, Arvind, Zul, Josiah, Zeke, Claudie, Eddy, Andrew, Adam we are all gonna be in the same class next year.
So i'm dedicating this song to all those who cannot be in the same class next year.

"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

The One After So Long

Its been weeks since I actually posted, not counting the one with that stupid picture.
I got my results, and i'm glad to say, i got ALL As! and 1 C6 which is obviously chinese.
I've been pretty bored and doing nothing. I just went bowling at Marina Square with my friends...
and this post is so short again.

The One Where It Gets Boring

Sigh, Exams are over, shld be a good thing, but i'm so effing bored!!!

Just some pics of the day after the exam...

The One With The Meng Yang Game

Alright, so i decided to remove the 2 games after some reflecting.
Its wrong to do that. Even though he may be what some ppl like to call, hypocrites and racists.
So anyway, I have decided to create a new game. This time its on Bryan Chong! Yep!
I know that its wrong. But its fun! haha. So i'll post it soon!

The One Where We've Come So Far

Its almost time, 2 weeks is all thats left. We've come so far, and this is it. My revision hasn't increased yet. I'm still at 16%. Can you believe that???Anyways, I'm gonna release the next game...lol. And here's another joke for all those who have been studying to destress abit!

The Shiny-Walled Box Thingie
An Amish boy and his father were visiting a nearby mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny silver walls that moved apart and back together again by themselves.

The lad asked, "What is this, father?"

The father, having never seen an elevator, responded, "I have no idea what it is."

While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched as small circles lit up above the walls.

The walls opened up again and a beautiful twenty-four-year-old woman stepped out.

The father looked at his son anxiously and said, "Go get your mother."

I liked that one! Okay I guess that's all for today though.

The One With The New Game

Ok, I created a new game. Introducing...(drum roll) The new mengyang game!

THE GAME HAS BEEN REMOVED DUE TO ISSUES WITH MY.



Also, yesterday Josiah passed me some pics of the SGCC.
Check them out!

Just 1. The other's weren't too good.

Yesterday, was at a club with my cousin's playing pool and fooling around!
And a lil' bit of beer. lol. haha.
I suck at playing pool trust me.(or am that great?) lol.

That's the top of my bro's face. lol.

The One With The Introverts/Extroverts Tests

This post is a response to J.O.S's post dated : Thursday 13th September 2007, Titled :

Introvert/Extrovert – The Accuracy of the Online Personality Tests

Well, personally, I think that these tests do provide some form of understanding of yourself, up to a certain point. Some of these test really do prove your EQ. The test questions, vary differently, for EQ tests, such as Introverts and Extroverts ones, the questions ask if you spend time at home more, love to hang out etc.

J.O.S said : "So if I were to take the online personality quiz and if I were to turn out to be a complete extrovert because I love going out as compared to staying at home, but I like to be reserved and be quiet when I'm out with friends, even though I like going with them, does that make me an extrovert or an introvert?"

If you do take such tests like these, you would notice they ask questions of the same kind repeatedly, such as "If you are not at home, what would you be doing?" and "When you are out with friends, do you____?" The repetition of questions will "double check" your responses so as to come up with more accurate findings.

Personally, my conclusion to these online tests, is that, these tests are just a rough guide on how to improve your personality etc.'

If you want to take such tests,visit this site, it's one of the popular one's offering many varied tests.

I'm really looking forward to getting comments on these topics..
Seems to me that it really doesn't draw much attention...lol.

The One With The Musical Instruments

Today was different, went to bryan's house after chinese remedial. Had to complete some science project shit. We had to construct a musical instrument. So we came up with this percussion set thing. Made of beer bottles, yea! But we had to drink them...no kidding...haha bryan's mum allow sia...lol...dun worry we shared a bottle...the other 3 bottles, bryan's mum said cannot so she poured it out and put it in another bottle.

So, did some guess and check thingy to guess the water level needed to make the "carlsberg advertisment song" Success!!! lol...and we have some percussion set, its some empty plastic containers, covered with balloon like material..so it reflects the sound...like an amp.

After we finished, played WRC on the ps2...and left.

So that was the end of that part of that day.

Now I'm at home and under some stress.
Have a science test tomorrow. And i have a compo thats overdue.
So i'm gonna start soon.

But lets get on with a topic of discussion...although i got not many readers...oh wtf.

What do you think of body piercings?
Any part of your body. I always wanted one on my ear. Lol. But maybe later, as in like in 3 years. I think that there's nothing wrong though. But i do hate those people who pierce their tongue and lips and everywhere. Like kinda overdoing it!?

Yea so post a comment on it. Tell me what you think!

And now for another joke!

What's on your back?

Three men are traveling in the Amazon, a German, an American, and a Mexican, and they get captured by some Amazons. The head of the tribe says to the German, "What do you want on your back for your whipping?"

The German responds, "I will take oil!" So they put oil on his back, and a large Amazon whips him ten times. When he is finished the German has these huge welts on his back, and he can hardly move.

The Amazons haul the German away, and say to the Mexican, "What do you want on your back?"

"I will take nothing!" says the Mexican, and he stands there straight and takes his ten lashings without a single flinch.

"What will you take on your back?" the Amazons ask the American.

He responds, "I'll take the Mexican."

The One With The Change

So it's the 12.
We are still deciding although almost reaching an agreement, who shall get what and the $500.
I just realized, that Josiah has started posting again! Rejoice? Well, maybe. Cause I usually read people's blogs when I come home from skl to hear what's going on in people's lives. Although I see Jos everyday, his blog tells interesting, funny stories on his life at home and the thoughts going on in his mind.

This post is a response to Josiah's post dated Aug 13 2007,

After reading his post, hmm... I decided, why not post stories ON life and ABOUT life, y'know?
It might benefit us in some way, well hopefully :P

From today on, my posts will have ( i hope i can do this though :P)
interesting stories on affairs happening now, or just an update on my life.
So, (if i can carry this on) expect longer more interesting posts. :)

I'm thinking on changing the template of this blog.
Maybe a nicer colour or something.

Zong Zhen would like to thank himself for being accepted into the Infocomm Ambassadors Club,
A club where people like me represent the school in Events and also, something like Student Leaders kind of thing.

Had to go for interviews and this and that. So yea, congrats to Zong.

Thinking of posting the countdown to exams on the sidebar,
and Jos, you may "cope" the timer if you want. Just get the code.

I was thinking of putting Inspirational Quotes or just Quotes on Life at the bottom of each post.
I'm gonna try it out!

My Brain Is Set On Overdrive!

Here's a joke, just for the record:

This guy went into a restaurant and ordered his meal. When the waitress came out with his soup, he noticed that she had her thumb stuck into it. This upset him, but he let it go. She then brought out his chili, and again her thumb was in the food. He let it go again. When she brought out his hot fudge sundae, her thumb was in the fudge and this was too much for him.

"Goddammit," said the man, "get your damn thumb out of my food!'

"Well, I injured it a while ago and the doctor said I should keep it warm."

"Why don't you just shove it up your ass?" the man said angrily.

"That's what I do when I'm in the kitchen."

So thats all for today i guess.

I cannot feel happier. Well if we did get gold then yea hell yea would have felt happier...
Me, Josiah , Claudie, Dilip participated in a Singapore Game Creation Competition during the sept hols. We won the most popular game award. $500+ Xbox 360 + 2 games.
How shld we split the money. No one knows how much i want the 360...haha been beggin my mum for it since last year. But now i earned it. So we have to still decide how to split the money...


This was us before we presented the game to the judges.
The guy behind us was very involved in the production of the
game....thank you Damien! You rock!

We had to create a warcraft 3 mod. Download it and try it.
You need warcraft 3 to play it though.
Download it!
