John Mayer - Say

John Mayer wrote the song Say for the movie The Bucket List featuring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson.
Blue-collar mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) and billionaire hospital magnate Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) meet for the first time in the hospital after both have been diagnosed with cancer. They become friends as they undergo their respective treatments.

Both are diagnosed with a year or less to live. Carter begins writing a "bucket list," or things to do before "he kicks the bucket." After hearing he has less than a year to live, Carter wads it up and tosses it on the floor. Matthew comes in the next morning and picks it up with other things that are on the floor. Cole finds it among the items and reads it. Cole pushes Carter (by suggesting he add things like seeing the world, sky diving, "fun things," etc.), and promises to finance the trip, as he is very wealthy. Despite the protests of his wife, Virginia (Beverly Todd), Carter eagerly agrees.

So thats basically the gist of the movie. Its suppose to be a very touching movie. John Mayer said he cried after watching it. haha.

So here's the song off the movie.

The Boston Celtics Are Your 2007-2008 NBA Champions

Well Boston has done it again and I don't know what to say. There's not a single player on this team that you can hate (unless you're a Lakers fan) and you couldn't even really root against them (unless you're Jemele Hill). Screw all the particulars and stats....the Celtics put up 131 points (131!) and KG is certifiable. Let's get into the video....

Celtics final (02)

Just a great way for arguably three of the best players to never win a title, to take solidify their greatness in the league. And oh yes...you're certified KG...but who the hell cares? Be as crazy as you want to be tonight. Congrats again Boston and be careful tonight....there's a full moon out there. Oh and what I said earlier about hating all of you.....you booed Stu Scott, so we're cool!

Update: Here's Garnett's post game press conference complete with a question from Scoop Jackson!

Celtics Raise Banner 17

When Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were traded to the Celtics, I didn't believe it. My 2 favourite players would be joining forces as one along with Paul Pierce to become the unstoppable big 3.

It started when my uncle bought me a Ray Allen jersey. He became my favorite player. And then I saw Garnett. The sheer determination to bring his team to the finals. He was my inspiration.
Having being a 12 time all-star and not having ever won a championship, it had to be time. 12 years he waited before he finally lifted the trophy. The emotions swept through me. I was happy for him. This was the reason i like Garnett. He never gave up his dream. I supported him for 8 years. And he never came close to winning it. I stuck by him and now i feel great. There is no word to describe it.

The Celtics deserved it. Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, James Posey, Eddie House. All of you guys own all. After coming back in game 4 from a 24pt deficit to win the game 97-91, showed me that impossible is nothing and that when i'm down at times, i will think of you guys and never give up no matter the circumstances. And here are the top 5 plays from that match!



Next on my list, Ray Allen Celtics Jersey! haha

Green Day Ramones Tribute & Solomon Being Thrown Into Pool

Operation Clean Sweep

Started : 1149 hours
End: 1413 hours

Operation Clean sweep

Lolx. Cleared my table and filed all my work! Took me 2h+. Quite happy now that i've gotten all the work filed and my desk cleard. It was a rigorous 5 step process involving 1. Breaking down the pile. 2. sorting the stuff. 3. Filing the work 4. Getting rid of the thrash 5. Organize.


Step 1 : Break down

Step 2 : Sort The Stuff

Step 4: Taking Out The Thrash

Step 5 : Organize to make nice!

Finally: The end result

you can actually compare the diff. Lolx now i can start with the hw.
Sigh. I don't feel like doing it anymore after doing that filing and organizing. Sigh. The irony.

Now To Get Started

Oh wait, how the hell am I suppose to get started with this pile of crap on my desk??
It all started when it was after exams. I just piled all my textbooks and revision crap onto my desk.
Now its time to get started on the homework and, wait, there's no space to do it!


Its quite screwed up really. Now i just need a way to organize these things.

Worry Rock

Ever since the start of the year, In this new class a lot of things have been happening to me. So much friendship problems, one after the other.

I was making new friends. And my old friends, best friends thought i was spending too little time with them. I tried to fix it but i couldn't. Here's a song that will describe the situation now.

Another sentimental argument and bitter love.
Fucked without a kiss again and dragged it through the mud.
Yelling at brick walls and punching windows made of stone.
The worry rock has turned to dust and fallen on our pride.

A knocked down dragged out fight.
Fat lips and open wounds.
Another wasted night and no one will take the fall.

Where do we go from here?
And what did you do with the directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road.


But being, in my heart, still me best friends I placed them first before me. I was there for everyone of them when they had problems. Does that make it seem like i'm not their best friend? I've tried so much to fix all these problems. I make it a point to talk to them on the phone, go out with them, have lunch with them. But it never seemed to work. They can't accept the fact that in a friendship proccess, to build a new friendship takes time. So obviously making new friends take time and effort. and making this friendship strong takes even more time. So that's what i've been doing now. and i've been neglecting them. But as i said, i was still there for them when they needed me. Once this friendship proccess is done, then i can spend more time with them again. To me, they are still my best friends and when they are down i feel the same way too.

I just don't know the best way to fix this problem. I can't seem to fit everyone in the picture.
This song says everything i would do for my best friends. Even if i hate them at some point :


"Poprocks & Coke"

Wherever you go
You know I’ll be there
If you go far,
You know I’ll be there
I’ll go anywhere,
So I’ll see you there
You place the name
You know I’ll be there
You name the time
You know I’ll be there
I’ll go anywhere
So I’ll see you there

I don’t care if you don’t mind
I’ll be there not far behind
I will dare
Keep in mind
I’ll be there for you

Where there’s truth
You know I’ll be there
Amongst the lies
You know I’ll be there
I’ll go anywhere
So I’ll see you there

I don’t care if you don’t mind
I’ll be there not far behind
I will dare
Keep in mind
I’ll be there for you

If you should fall
You know I’ll be there
To catch the call
You know I’ll be there
I’ll go anywhere
So I’ll see you there

I don’t care if you don’t mind
I’ll be there not far behind
I will dare
Keep in mind
I don’t care
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you

I mean that in everyway possible. I have no idea at all. at all in my fucking idiotic head how to fix this problem.

Back From The Past, To The Present

For some reason, after reading back all the old posts, and remembering all the memories from the past, I've decided to start blogging again, and this time with an actual purpose; to write down notable things in my life, and to look back on them years on and laugh about it. Not for anyone but myself.

I'm gonna pick up from where I left off.

My birthday, although almost 2 weeks ago, was really interesting. Invited 18 people from my school. Although I didn't ask for any presents, the turnover was good. We played Foosball, and just hanged, played Xbox, chatted. Hoped everyone had fun... Here's what I got :

• A Kevin Garnett Jersey
• A Chelsea Jersey
• A Rubik's Cube and a Weird Pen Holder
• Command & Conquer III : Kane's Wrath
• A Razor Death Adder Mouse
• A Book
• A Skinny Tie that resembles the one Green Day has.
• AND THE BEST OF ALL, A 8.1 MP Olympus Waterproof and Shockproof cam from my parents! hahahaha.
  

Here are the pictures :











Meanwhile,

had some friend troubles recently, about me making new friends in my new class, and neglecting my best friends. Well all this was kinda total bullshit, cause they(my best friends) saw it the wrong way. Anyways, talked to Dilip and Josiah individually and sorted my differences with them, one more to do though, Claudie, but he is gonna be hard, since he is always so secretive about things. If he is so secretive about things how can I ever trust him? Thats the whole point here.

Liking my new class a lot. Think its got a good mix of people. Easy to talk to them, fun and friendly and most of them, helpful. Exams nearing again, this time its a gauge of my performance so far. 2 weeks left.

Targets :

English A1
Chinese C5-B4
Combined Humans A2-A1
Chemistry A1
Biology A1
Physics A1
A Maths A1
E Maths A!

Have to be confident about it. Although I need to buck up on Physics and Bio and A Maths and E Maths. Ran in the Track and Field Meet, inter class relays, came in 4th. wish they gave medals for 4th haha. Really need to start studying already, then can slack awhile during the hols. So far
Everyday has been a drag, its been School, Study, Sleep. the 3 dreaded S's Everyday coming back quite late, around 4-5pm.


Anyway, had Chem extra lessons today, was kinda slack, then after that went lunch with Solomon and Satya. Then it rained. Went home abit drenched...haha. The n slacked, did some work, and watched tv and played computer, then posting (now).

till next time,
So glad to be back. All this for the future.

Jason Mraz, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things

Withdrawal Symptons and OBS

Facing withdrawal symptoms. Miss OBS!!! It was so fun. Came back yesterday.

Ok let's go through what we did.

64 of us in our group. Split into 4 smaller groups. We were made of St. Andrew's and Fuchun Sec. 32 each. Each sub group had 16. I was in Shackleton.

1st day we prepared for our trek into some forest areas of Pulau Ubin.

Each of us got those really huge camping backpacks. So it weighed like really heavy. And we had ponchos (which btw, was really heavy cuz it was really long and huge) then we had to carry our tents with us. Each group were also given rations, we had to live off those for the 5 days. Eating dry food in the morning and afternoon and only cooked food in the night. Each grp were given 4 20 litre cans of water and each person was given 2, 2litre bottles. So we had to carry 80 kg of water with us.


So we set off. Trekked for around 1 hr, and pitch tents at around 5pm. it was quite dark by then and there was no electricity or toilets(kinda cool). So no lights or buildings in sight. And we had to cook rice for dinner! but guess what, we burnt it and it tasted like crap. I actually spitted out after eating it. We also ate canned sausages. But the rice was like crap, so i ate bread. And we didnt bathe that day too!!! haha nice. And the toilets was actually no toilets. You dig a hole and plant your bombs and cover it back! haha.

On 2nd day we unpitched and left for a proper camp site. It had buildings in the area, it was camp site 1, it looked like a hotel. So we were there for our high elements activity. I was the fastest up the inverse tower, 1 min and 40 secs up the 5 story thing.

then we had kayaking training. learnt all the different kinds of maneuvers. And how to rescue a capsized boat.

Then at night we pitched tents and went for our SEA EXPEDITION briefing! yea man, that was why i came to OBS! we had a sea expedition. From Ubin to Sembawang. man it was far. took us 10 hrs to get there. And the best part of it, we hit a terrible storm halfway there. visibility was reduced to 1m. It was a good relief from the sweltering heat and the sun beating down on our necks. But it was so cold. Everyone was shivering. and the rain pelted down on our backs. It was really really heavy. So we rafted all 32 kayaks together side by side and held on to the instructors boat which was anchored. so we held on while bailing water out of our kayaks. Damn freaking FUN!!!!!!!

then we arrvied at sembawang. All wet, pitched tents, took a shower and slept. then we kayaked back to ubin the next day. So i'm freaking tan! hahaha. So that was all the fun parts of the camp!

And on the last day i performed a song on the guitar for the group. Called Good Riddance(time of your life). First ever performance in front of more than 2 ppl. hahah man it felt good.

this is how the song goes

Its by Green Day.



So now i'm really behind school. but miss OBS so much!
got 5 tests next week so i'm screwed.

The One With Lan, And Other Shenanigans

Yesterday was damn fun. What a way to end the term. After school, was in a dilemma, couldn't decide where to go. 3 options, go with arvind, dilip, josiah, matthew for movie. Or go with Solomon and gang to Lan. In the process, convinced Edwin, Eddy, Satya, Bryan to go lan with Solomon. Met up with them at Parklane. Was surprised to see at least half my class there...haha. it was Me, Edwin, Satya, Eddy, Bryan against, Solo, Cheng En, Mervin, Andre, Chin yan. Was damn fun. then more ppl from the class came, played with them. Then slowly everyone left. We played for like 4hrs ++. haha. longest lan ever.

Results...aahhh.
Chem- A1
Physics - A1
Biology - A1
Chinese - E8
English - B3
Maths - B4
Combined Humans - C5

Maths paper was acutally quite easy, was really really ultra effing careless...sigh. Can't make the same mistakes again.

The other day did a really weird game during Personal Effectiveness(which is actually just a chim word for extra classes). Anyway, played this game where everybody had to hold each others hands to form a circle. and there would be 5 hoola hoops scattered around the circle, in between 2 hands. They had to move the hoops to the next guy without letting of the hand. And if you happpen to have 2 hoops on one hand at the same time, u had to wear this chicken hat during the rest of the lesson. haha. Edwin and Soloman and Shaun had to wear...lol. Soloman was damn shy after that.

Looking for a much bigger bag, seeing that theres just too much books to cram into a 14litre bag.
2moro going to the airshow with my cousin and my dad.

Can't wait for inter class hand ball haha.
Can't wait for Rock Band 360 release.
