Blessed Christmas!

Blessed christmas to all my readers!
Life's been really cool and slow for me for the past few days after expedition, THUS NO UPDATES!
Unless you wanna hear me blog about be staying in bed about 12 plus in the afternoon,(CUZ THE WEATHER IS SO DARN GOOD FOR SLEEPING! CATH YOU'LL AGREE!) then you've caught me speechless. All righty then. best get back to my reports. 2 reports BY TMR!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A MERRY NEW YEAR GUYS!
(or is it the other way round? hm.)

Expedition Stage 5

The ONLY picture taken during expedition. 45km around Singapore.(or so ryan claims) Sunday was fun, hiking in the rain.

Stuck in the rain while waiting for the boys WAAAYYYYY behind us.

Hai. Still dont have the guts.

When was the last time i spent my entire day with mum? Cant remember. but i did spend the at plaza singapura with mummy. Mummy bought herself a handheld massager gizmo for her aching muscles and joints. Apparently the place she bought that gizmo was having a roadshow of sorts and was in the middle of the place, so after she made the purchase, the entire staff shouted something together and clapped. Damn paiseh lah. hui qi was working nearby at perlini's silver and she probably noticed how anxious i was to get away from that place. Had sakae teppanyaki after that with mum. they were really liberal with their garlic, making everything so darn bitter. Daniel Lim was seated direct opposite me though. Didnt see him until he called me.
Daniel:"eh jon, where are you?"
Jon:" Ah? Plaza sing lor. Having dinner with mother"
Daniel:"Oh... ordering dinner now ar?"
Jon:"*Busy trying to listen to the manager explain something on the menu and conversing with daniel at the same time* errr... ya... eh? how you know?"
Daniel:" Look in front of you"
Jon:"Huh? What thing?"
Daniel:" In front of you lah stupid"
Thats when i saw him. Having dinner with his girlfriend.

Then we went carrefour to shop around. When my mum was stll in holland, i told my mum to buy lots of cheese, specifically a type called BRIE. Apparrently cheese i dirt cheap over there. Cheese there cost €1.20 per slice, which is about say 300 grams which comes at about $2.40 sing dollars. Carrefour is selling at $8.30 per 100 grams!. And i'm eating through them like nobody's business. cheese, beer and fruit juices there cost less than water over there. DAMN.

Hm. Think i better stop here. Have cell and a 30km hike in front of me tmr. night guys.

Day 31

Ah... Home alone day 31. Well guys, looks like Jonny has managed to survive 31 days home alone. that wasnt too bad was it? Well, there goes all my freedom tmr at 0610 hrs. Thats when mum's plane touches down.

Argh. Quantitative analysis tmr.

obviously not studying

MISSES~

In the midst of my studying... im really starting to miss sri lanka. All we did were to just dig holes, play with the kids, and enjoy each other's company. And the stars. yeap. the pretty stars.
Here's some long awaited pictures!Misses~

And who says i cant cook?

Damn well yes i can. To prove, here's what i whipped up for dinner.

Its lamb cubes marinated in red wine and rosemary on a bed of veggie. YUM!
Washing up is a pain though.

(o.O)

EEEAAARRRGGGHHH.
I gotta study.
G.P.A 2.5
Think i'll take Ben up on his advice can crash in school, since no one expects me home. Yeah. I do just that.

RUNNING TMR!

HUFF PUFF

okay. Give me some time. After my MSTs alright? After you get back.
For some reason that i'm too busy or too tired. Thats when i will be sure of it.
I WILL make the move.

Almost. Almost.

The day has come.
I have mixed feelings about it.
If i dont do it, nothing will change. Things will stay they way it is. I kepp something, i lose something.
If i do it, i things will happen in two ways. I lose both things, or i will gain one, but lose the other.

So what will it be?

Machiam like holiday like that.

Ah. Had quite a fantastic time with the sleepover last night. Enjoyed the run with yi ting that afternoon and met ryan afters for sushi. Heaven man. Pure bliss. And the shoes feels GOOD... Ryan, Yi Ting and i caught up abit over sushi(while the norm is over coffee but since Yi Ting and i hated coffee, we went for the next best thing all of us enjoyed most). Headed back to my place to watch the bonus items given in the premier package of the Red Alert 3 game. Watched a movie before i hit the sack while Yi Ting played his game the night away.

Went to Bowen the next day. I could say i partly wasted my time there listening to the Principal talking aboutthe alumni and stuff. But i did see Pau Boon for the first time in almost a year! left for home after that while the rest went to catch a movie.

Met up with maggie later at about 3.45pm to attend the class BBQ with the funds given by the school. Got lost around Singapore with maggie at the wheel though. HAHA. Everything was just like a normal BBQ except that we had our very own "camp fire" i built with fire starters and burning charcoals. Took some pictures=). Thought they were really nice...






Anyway, on the way back on 132, i saw first ex-gf. I got a shock of my life and got off a few stops short of my destination. Didn't know why, but just wanted to get out as quickly as possible. Yeah. Thanks lilian for your care and concern=)

Man. I sound really monotone in this post. Till next time then, while i catch some Zs.

Investments~

AH~ Bell Yeo! If you're reading this, i've got news for you! Your brother Jonathan has finally set foot into Queensway Shopping mall! Yes! HE DID! And he bought himself a pair of running shoes!

And, Ryan Lee. Buddy. I'm really sorry. Though knowing you HATE ADIDAS so very much, i bought another pair of adidas shoes. Yep. Sorry buddy. But i know you dont really care, do you?

Yi ting! Thanks for agreeing to be my running buddy man! So looking forward to tmr lah.(Surprisingly). WOOT! Sleepover man! Wanna get ryan too? Okay. I sound Damn Gay now.

Anyways. This is my brand new pair of shoes! And in my favorite colours too! Blue and white! A size 11.5 Adidias deflect 2 running shoes! YAY! cost me quite abit though. But thinking of it as a investment for a fitter, healthier, leaner Jonny. AH. Well worth it. I keep thinking mummy is going to kill me though. But you really cant blame me mum. You cant expect me to keep training in my Adidas panthers. Its not meant to be used for such an activity. I'm just going to destroy it. Thus a nessessity of a proper pair of running shoes.
And there you have it! My new pair of shoes=)



Ain't they pretty?
Okay now. Time for tuitorials.

RUN FAT BOY. RUN!

Ah...
i think i got bitten by the running bug. Was actually looking forward to today's training. I was surprised myself cuz i HATED running in the past. Now i even bought myself a pair of running shorts for training. Even going furthur as to thinking of buying a proper pair of runnning shoes. I think if i continue to train in my adidas panthers, its going to give out sooner than i think. BUT WE DIDNT RUN TODAY CUZ OF THE RAIN AND MEETING! ARGH.
Life after Discovery camp has really been a drag. I cant seem to wake up for my morning classes. Damn tired all the time. Falling asleep in lectures too. I CANT CONTINUE DOING THIS! G.P.A 2.6 THIS SEM! Which reminds me. I better get started on my Financial Management tutorial soon.

Anyway, this student dialoge thing is seriously annoying me. Sometimes i really wonder whether the people in SB has brains or not. HELLO?!?!?! its been only 4 weeks and how the hell should know whether your lecturer's slide are good/bad, or whether the tutorial notes are useful? AND AND! I dont give a bloody damn if the director wants to meet the class reps? i dont wanna be a class rep. No way im giving up my friday evening to talk to the damn director. I dont want to be the frigging class rep. Im not even supposed to be the class rep. Im supposed to be just the class treasurer. Not that i wanted to be one in the first place.

I DONT WANNA BE THE CLASS REPRESENTATIVE!
asshole

Hai. looking at the days ahead. there's really nothing much im looking forward to, ever since discovery camp. Looks like i've really gave my life to Primers liao.

HMMM. Bowen Boys Brigade Teacher-in-charge messaged me the other day.
"Hey jon, sat 9am u free? P(refering to principal)wants to meet alumni who's still contributing to bowen."

Two things came to my mind.
1. Recognition. quite unlikely.
2. Propaganda.

Well, well soon see on sat. I hope its going to be a drill parade. i miss being back in uniform and shouting at people.=)

Oh well. class tmr. 10am.
WEEKEND SOON!


And soon i will make my move. the question is, should i or should i not?...

Loneliness is always looking for a friend

Home alone. Day 6. Miss being back at camp already. Being the Deputy camp commandant was fun.=) Didnt take many pictures though. Think i shall go bathe first before i update.

WHY DO I EVEN FRIGGING BOTHER

Alone at home. Day 2.

OSLT Sri Lanka '08

Man. I've never felt more at home with these bunch of people. Never have i regretted joining this team. I love this team man. WHOOSH!

Yesterday was afterglow and, i'm pretty sad that it was all over already. I really gonna miss the times spent together. Not that we wont meet up again. But as a team working together that is.

Afterglow was F-A-N-TASTIC! Stumbled a few time but, its was wonderful! i dont have many pictures now but, i love these the most!

Presenting to you, the Emcees for the night!
Damn, do we look good=)



Speaking of home, yeah, i'm pretty much home alone now. HAHA. HAVOC! WHOOSH BABY!
Mum and kid bro is heading over to the Netherlands to see my dad. Off for a month. So yeah. Lonely Jonny=)

Semester 2, Week1.

its only week 1 and i'm SO TIRED. Both physically and mentally. I miss sri lanka. I miss after a long day of work, after our reflections, the entire team could lie down on the canvas sheet and just gaze at the stars till we doze off.(Speaking of which, where on earth is that canvas sheet?)

Anyway, its been really a long drawn out week. Maybe its just that i've not adjusted back to the rigors of school. Right now i'm really feeling tired. Both physically and mentally. My mind is just blank and have no real motivationto push me to do anything at all. Right now i'm just doing things that have to be done. Thats all.

I think the best thing that could happen to me right now, is that someone(obviously a girl) would as me out and just sit down with her and just sit there, looking at the sky, just like back in Sri Lanka. Nice. Quiet. Peaceful. Assuring. Calm.
Yeap. Thats what i would love to have. I dont think i'm really a alone person. I kinda like doing things with someone. For company. Hmmm. That would be nice.

Feeling drained~

Thanks Sister!

I'm tired, cuz you've been running through my mind all day~

Hey guys~
I know you guys are still waiting for my update on my trip to japan and sri lanka... BUT I'M NOT GOING TO BLOG ABOUT THEM AT ALL! Its not that i'm selfish, its just wayyyyy too long and i dont want t spend too uch time typing it out. But if you're DYING to know, just give me a call, and ill be more than happy to tell you about my experiences. But as a consolation, i'll be posting up SOME pictures up

Anyway,school's starting in a couple of days AND I SERIOUSLY HATE/DISLAKE/LOATHE(delete any option) my timetable. Its so terrible! I end at 5 everyday with the exception of wednesday.

My last week of hols have been pretty relaxed, just a few meetings here and there, teaching my brother for his EOYs and puking tons of blood while in the process of doing so. Laser Quest-ed today! Its pretty much like paintball but you're shooting lasers instead of paintballs. Had lots and lots of fun killing the exco today. We perspired buckets too after all the crazy running and screaming. "Killed" so many people still my trigger finger's blistered now. OW.

In two days now i've travelled alone from woodlands back home. The ride takes about half an hour at the back of a bus, giving me a chance to just start thinking about stuff. Pondering on questions poised to me. Contentment. How would one define it? Is it good to be contented? Or Bad? What do i want in life? What do i want in future? Every time i think about these and a few other stuff i feel very hollow...

[some voice in Jonathan's head]
-Hey Jon, you've been single for almost half a year now. What's it like?
Me- Free? Lonely at times but, free?
-What do you miss most then?
Me- The feeling at being loved?
-Ah, then go get a girlfriend then.
Me- are you nuts? girlfriends grow on trees issit? just pluck them from the trees ar?
-Yeah? why not? its just whether you're picking from the right tree or not.
Me-Thanks for the advice man*sarcarstically*

I dont know. This just popped out of my head. I've been hurt thrice already. But i'm better now. Guess i'm happier with my gff's. HAHA!

~you've been running through my mind all day long~

Back!

Hey guys! The post is a little late, but who cares? HaHa.. Anyway, i'm just waiting for the pictures to come in before i can post it up! till then, just a week more to school! And my time table sucks! tell you more next time!

Sri Lanka!

I think i just did the un-imaginable. I managed to pack 10 days worth of stuff into my backpack. not bad eh?
Anyways, will be back on the 4th of oct, so yeah! see you then!

Misses Being Back In Uniform
