First-Aid for the heart

Day 13-16-Scotland, Glasgow and Edinburgh

2010-04-01T18:17:00.000-07:00

Scotland, without doubt, is where i bummed around the most. Slept late, woke up late, bummed around in the hotel room, surfed the net. Ryan? He had piping classes to keep him occupied.

now i'm stuck in Edinburgh Airport. Cuz we missed the flight back to amsterdam. not the flight itself actually, but the checkin time, which was very annoying. Now we have to wait 12hours for the next flight back. Sian.

Day 12-United Kingdom,Conventry

2010-03-29T12:41:00.000-07:00

This is where I get my first taste of British hospitality. Which was awesome really.

Conventry is nothing like London at all. Except its still very cold. We took it easy for this day. with Ryan's two cousins taking us to the car museum. Apparently conventry used to be a huge car manufacturing complex. Now with the Japanese and other countries taking a monopoly of the market, its no surprise that the factories were shut down for cheaper labour. After that, we headed to the Cathedral that offered the bird's eye view of the City. Didnt do much after that. Just headed back home. For some reason, ryan and I were really really tired. At dinner though, I had the most fantastic meal i had since Amsterdam. Chicken casserol(obviously spelt wrongly but i cant be bothered), and puddings! Typical British dinner i guess. IT WAS FABULOUS! YUM YUM. Too bad i didnt take any pictures.

Anyway, my mum wants me to stay like a week more in Europe. To help her do some paper work. Damn.

Day 11- United Kingdom- Coventry

2010-03-27T16:45:00.000-07:00

Our Day started early due to the fact that we had to check out at 1000. We did just that at about 0940-ish. Anyway, since our train was only leaving at 1343, was did some last min sightseeing. So we headed over to see, very quickly now, Trafalgar Square, No. 10 Downing Street(where the british prime minister is), the Big Ben and the London Eye (Singapore flyer equivalent). We the rushed back to our hostel to grab our bags to catch the train. We did have to run for it. Just over an hour, we were at Conventry, where Ryan has family. Its a very very nice place, very very quiet compared to London. We hung around a little, chatted with the family, walked through town to have some curry with reminded me of Mdm Kours restaurant. You will realise that I'm typing shorter and shorter sentences. Well, the reason's simple. Jonny tired. Ryan's tired too. He's snoring like a molested zebra or something like that as I type this. I guess travelling around is taking a toll on us.

Day 10- United Kingdom-London

2010-03-27T16:44:00.001-07:00

London, as I imagined, would be a gloomy, cold, wet and unfriendly place. Well, London was in fact a very very pretty nice city to be in! There were quite a few noticeable changes in the environment we were in. And the biggest change of all? WE COULD READ ALL THE SIGNS AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE ANNOUNCEMENTS BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS IN ENGLISH! Absolute bliss. It was just like being back in a familiar environment again! But the place is damn cold. BRRRR. We took a 10 pound tour around London. Ore of the Old parts of London cause we missed the complete one in the morning due to the fact that we were on the train from Paris. I like London. London nice. Paris not so nice. Dunno why. Oh well. Tomorrow were headed to Coventry where Ryan has family there. No much to say left, so I’ll just the pictures do the talking. However, you’ll realise that I’m taking lesser and lesser pictures. Well, laziness is part of the reason, but the main reason is because the place is so cold that I’m very reluctant to take my hand out of the pockets because its so cold!

Day 9- French Republic, Paris

2010-03-27T16:19:00.001-07:00

We decided to take it easy for our last day in France so that we would not be too exhausted for our journey to London the next day. So we decided to just visit a few attractions before calling it a day. Got off to a slow start that day, looking for the catacombs. Ryan wanted to see it. I was rather reluctant though. The sound of it sort of creeps me out. Anyway, we got lost trying to find the place. Secretly, I was rather pleased that we couldn't find the place, but we eventually found it. As it turned out, we walked past it several times without realising it because the entrance wasn't very obvious. Well, nothing much about the place, except that the place used to be a quarry until it was abandoned. then the french authorities realised,:"Hey! pre-dug graves!" SO they decided to exhume all the graves and relocate the bones over there so that the city could expand. We basically, the entire trip was spent on going down the stairs into the catacombs, walking through the tunnels, looking at stacks upon stacks of bones and the going up again. 83 steps I remembered. After that, Ryan sort of made it up too me by going to the muesee de armee, or army museum which he somehow knew that I was absolutely enjoy myself, which I did! He got bored though. But then, the place closed early, so I didnt get to finish looking at everything.=( Once we left the museum, it started to rain heavily, so we decided to head back to the hostel to slack. Then dinner afters. That wrapped up our French tour. London next!

Day 8- French Republic- Paris

2010-03-24T16:19:00.000-07:00

Well, I'm into the second week of my European trip, and i must say I'm starting to miss home. Either that or I'm bored of Ryan. Hmmm.

Day 2 in Paris!I must say my opinion of it has changed. Somewhat. Paris is a very very very old city with loads of old history around. Amazing. Gives a very rustic feel. Perhaps this is the reason why it has the romance factor in it. We went on a free guided walking tour which we tipped the guide 20€. Hmmm. But she was pretty good though. Then after the tour we headed straight for the Effiel tower and CLIMBED it even though they had lifts. Travelling on the cheap apparently. Then we headed for the supposively famous Lourve museum. Not a very smart idea seeing that we're dead tired after the climb and museums would mean plenty of walking around. Headed back to the hostel after deciding that we're too tired to do anything else. I won't post any pictures up here not because I've not taken any, but because the Internet here is USELESS! My lappy is struggling to connect as i type this post. Oh well. Maybe London.

Day 7- French Republic- Paris

2010-03-23T13:36:00.000-07:00

Bonjour! Paris is a 3hr 50min train ride from Amsterdam. You know, after a day of walking around Paris aimlessly, I must say that I preferred Amsterdam. Still, its only the first day, so I'll reserve my judgement till later. Ryan enjoyed himself immensively though. All the pretty French girls he saw. I did seem to notice any. Maybe i do prefer asian girls. HAHA. Didnt take many pictures today, and wont upload any cuz the wireless here is quite crappy. heh. Maybe when i'm back in amsterdam or something.

Starting to miss home now....

Day 6- The Kingdom of the Netherlands- Reigerbos

2010-03-22T14:38:00.001-07:00

*In Hongkong Accent*

Today no picture. We bummed around the entire day, going out only to get food. And more food. Well, to put it nicely, we were resting for our trip to Paris the next day. Wouldn't want to get ourselves worned out.

Well, I'm not sure if i can get wireless in Paris, London and scotland. You'll know when you see a new update. So, i'll see you lot in 8 days time!

Day 5- The Kingdom of the Netherlands- Keukenhof

2010-03-21T15:22:00.000-07:00

The theme this year was- "From Russia with love". Sounds very James Bond-ish. Film festival? Nah. We went to a flower "theme park". Very Pretty very pretty. But we sort of came too early though. Not all the flowers were in full bloom yet. Imagine if all of them were to be... WOW. Nothing much to say here. Just pictures. Loads of them!

YAY! BIG WHOOP!

2010-03-21T14:40:00.000-07:00

After a day at Keukenhof which i would blog about later, i got a fairly pleasant surprise.

Day 4- The Kingdom of the Netherlands- Den Haag

2010-03-20T15:00:00.000-07:00

If you didn't know, although Amsterdam is the capital of Netherlands, the Queen does not reside in the capital. Rather, Den Haag is the residence of the Queen. Very much unlike the British where the Queen stays at the Buckingham palace in London and the President stays at the White House at Washington D.C. Hmmm. So off to Den Haag we went!

Set off a little late cuz we slept in. Heh. We went to this "theme park" in Den Haag called Maruodam. Its not really a theme park. Its actually a miniature city of the more important places in the Netherlands. I had memories of this place about 10 years ago. Beautiful place. the pcitures say it all. I didnt put up all the pictures i took. IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER!

Pretty plastic Flowers. My first attempt at perspective photography.

After a couple of hours at the miniature city, we headed off to the all famous (i think) scheveningen beach. It rained kinda hard right after we left the miniature city, so when we arrived at the beach, it was really really cold and because of the fact that we were right next to the sea, the wind was really cold and strong. We had fun though. Enjoyed the sights, getting very windswept as you can see.

Beautiful eh? This is made by God.

Anyway, i dont usually talk about my journeys to and from the various attractions cuz they are usually boring with nothing to talk about. BUT! this one back from Den Haag was terrible. We were sitting on the train next to this young dutch couple. Then this young punk was jabbering away non stop that it was so damn irritating. Like :"hgvkjhwvkehjvwkjvhb,sdvjvb,jbvjbvk"(okay. i cant speak dutch, but you get what i mean) of the entire trip which was about an hour long. I felt like slapping him or something. But then, he was about 2 times my size so i thought better not mess with him. Irritating ass. Spoil my image of the nice dutch people.

Day 3-The Kingdom of the Netherlands, Amsterdam

2010-03-20T14:42:00.000-07:00

When we woke up this morning, the first thing that came to our minds was:" Damn, today's weather is shit."

Pretty much. it was all wet and gloomy. and cold. so we decided to bum around at home. Well, not really.

We did a little shopping at the supermarket just downstairs.

After more bumming around, we went to daddy's restaurant at chinatown to have dinner.

Then we went to the red light district which the travel guides said that was a must see. so we did! anyway, it was just round the corner, so why the hell not? We didn't do anything okay. All for the experience!

Not many pictures of the district though. Photography is not allowed. Or the pimps would throw the camera into the canal with you along.

Day 2-The Kingdom of the Netherlands, Volendam

2010-03-19T02:46:00.000-07:00

Hmmm. so what's the weather like here in the Netherlands? Simply put, its like constantly being in an airconditioned room with the aircon blowing straight at your face at high speed constantly. BRRRR.

So here we go. adventures of ryan and jonny in netherlands part 2.

This morning my daddy took off to bring me to some ministry to resgister some stuff with i had on idea what i was doing there. weird. After that, we had another herring fish together. This puny fish which somes with pickles and onions cost like €2.50. THATS S$5! But it tastes oh so damn good! Whee.

After that, we went back home to pick Ryan up who was still sleeping his ass off. Then we set off to the postcard picture pretty town of Volendam. Words cannot describe how pretty this town is, but pictures can! but still, my photographic skill cannot do this town justice, so if you want the real stuff, come down yourself!

Did the usual touristy things: Pictures, food, trying out the local stuff. Yupps. This place almost killed me though. You'll find out why...

Ryan having a bad start to his morning.

Daddy met his friend...

Possibly my favourite stall. HERRING!

This is where my daddy works. Nice cozy place

Yes buddy... this bus.

VOLENDAM!!!!

Look MA! ANG MO GIRLFRIEND!

OOOOO... SEAFOOD...

The following few shows the lady trying to put the costume on him...

"Jump Jump Jump

Then the actual picture taking.

HELLO! IM A FISHER MAN!

Hello ducky!

And here's my dad poking into other people houses. Zhe ge hua hen mei!

Hello Seafood! This would later cause me loads of trouble though.

Seafood by the sea!

Errrrrrr...

Fields... Endless fields... while we're on the bus back to Amsterdam.

Ryan:"oh. HAHA."

Ouch. they put me on a drip. LONGGGGGGG needle. The only picture i could take before my camera died. damn. Good thing I bought travel Insurance though. Apparently the seafood i ate at Volendam caused this to happen. Hives, swelling face and asthma. Wheeze wheeze wheeze. You know, Ryan's an ass. When i was just starting to wheeze and stuff, all ryan could say was :" oh damn. now i have to listen to you wheeze to sleep."

I'm better now. Dont worry.=)

The Kingdom of the Netherlands- Day 1

2010-03-17T12:04:00.000-07:00

Hello there! I sort of made a promise to myself to make an entry for everyday whenever possible. So here we go. Hope this lasts!

You'll realise most of the pictures are of ryan... well... mainly because i'm behind the camera?

Flight CX 716, Singapore to Hong kong.

2 hour transit. Got wireless and talked to a few people on msn. Got a meal at Burgerking to share!

And in all these cases Ryan refused to pose for any pictures. "I refuse to pose for any pictures until we get to europe." okay lor.

After that comes the painful part. 12 hour flight. CX 721, Hong Kong to Amsterdam.

Once we boarded, we sort of slept straight away. For about 8 hours. Fitful one. Woke up every 15 to 20 mins, then movied away the last 4 hours. Got held up at customs for awhile. Ryan cant pronounce daddy's place for shit. Had to step in. Daddy was waiting for us! His flat mate had a car to bring us home.

We went out right after we got to daddy's place. sort of couldn't wait to see the sights. The following pictures would explain itself.

In the car...

Train station...

Trouble with the machine... though it works the same damn way as in Singapore.

Arrived at Centraal Station, then wandered around amsterdam from there. Visited museums and other stuff. Walked alot. Aching legs.

I realised that you should view the pictures from bottom to top from here onwards. terrible formatting. heh.

Netherlands, Belgium, France, England and Scotland. Watch Out!

2010-03-15T18:29:00.002-07:00

Though not literally, this was the only song i could think of now. Bye!

UH OH. MAJOR BUMMER.

2010-03-06T07:06:00.000-08:00

I just received news that I'M NOT FRIGGING ALLOWED TO BRING MY LAPTOP TO EUROPE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I'VE GRADUATED!

2010-02-25T07:44:00.000-08:00

Wow. 3 years just like that. its been. wow. F-A-N-TASTIC. Unbelievable.

Poly has been so wonderful. I haven't known such freedom, joy, enjoyment, pain, terror, busyness, stress, tiredness and whole loads of other emotions. It made secondary school like child's play. wait. it WAS child's play. I can tell you i've never regretted my decision to join a poly (not that i had a choice anyway). I'm glad i made the decision to appeal for SP instead of staying at NYP though i never would have known what could have had happened there. But given my friend's experience, not very positive stories.

There are a few i would like to thank for my three years in poly.

My mum- for nagging at me to appeal for SP

Alvin Tan- For dragging me to SP Primers. Without you, i would have had such joy

SP Primers- For all the fun, joy, skills,kinship and people i could have never met and placed them in my heart.

My project clique- For always enduring my tardiness in work and tolerating my nonsense and stuff like that.

My lecturers- For imparting their knowledge of course

God- For everything.

And of course those who have played a part of my life. No matter how big or how small. you know who you are. and you're appreciated.

Hey Apple!

Not that i'm complaining.

2010-02-01T16:14:00.000-08:00

I've been meaning to type this out for awhile now.

Its funny, really, to look back about a month ago, that how something you've so desperately want, you said all those things, and now nothing is being done. Its becoming abit of a joke really. And I just simply cannot comprehend it. What are you trying to say? To show? To prove?

Wake Up Call

2010-01-16T09:39:00.000-08:00

Well... I'm really sorry guys. I guess I better buck up my ideas. Today sure was one hell of a wake up call. I promise I promise.

MOUSEHUNT!

2010-01-01T08:10:00.000-08:00

How do you know when someone is addicted to a game?

Well, I don't know, but I'm sure I am. Heh. The signs? Here are a few.

1. I carry my laptop around to check on my progress.

2. I stay up till 3, 4 AM just for the game.

3. When I meet with some people, its the only thing we talk about.

4. When i talk to some of my friends, I constantly check my laptop.

5. I have a dedicated web browser for it.

6. Its the first thing I check when I switch on my laptop.

7. Even as I am typing this post, I am still checking it.

8. And the worse of all? I have to resort to begging my friends to lend me virtual Gold to purchase in game items. (some would know)

Well, at least my principles still stands. I refuse to pay actual money to buy virtual Gold. Cheers Philip Phua.

Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS! This blog is getting a little dusty eh? Well, this post is a first step!

IN-BAR

2009-12-22T07:11:00.001-08:00

This is classic. I couldn't stop laughing.

THANK YOU OH SO MUCH!

2009-12-11T07:07:00.001-08:00

Well. This week i've been on the receiving end of many many things, and i would love to mention them.

Firstly, MY DRIVING LICENSE FINALLY ARRIVED! BIG WHOOP! Yay.

Secondly, my laptop finally arrived! it is simply B-E-A utiful.

Thirdly, a F-A-N-tastic treat by BESTIE LILIAN! Wonderful meal at Kuishing Bo! *BURP*

Fourthly, she actually let me drive her very big, very nice, very comfy toyota premio home from suntec!

Lilian. Honestly, I think you're the only one in this world would have so much faith in me to actually let me drive your precious car. Third time on the road to boot. You're the best. Thats why you're JONNY'S BEST FRIEND! Haha. Of course you're not my best friend because of the car. That would be very materialistic of me. And you know that you're my best friend for many many other reasons. Anyhow, after my long break from blogging, i shall dedicate this post to you! (After much nagging of course)

Well. My final term break. I got a weekend job. Thats all. Dont know what to do with it. ASK ME OUT!

Roughed Out!

2009-09-16T20:27:00.000-07:00

hey guys! sorry that i haven been really updating. 2 reasons.
1. I'm lazy.
2. My lappy's down. fried motherboard and graphic card.
I'm stuck with my desktop which is constantly pissing me off.
Anyway. the general routine now is just rotting and going where ever i'm needed. thats pretty much what i'm doing now. oh. and here's another video i made with primers!

NOBODY NOBODY BUT YOU!

Better versions are at my facebook!

a little video i made with primers=)

Learning to drive is just like learning bagpiping.

2009-08-12T08:30:00.000-07:00

Well. NDP's over. im actually missing them already. although its just barely 3 DAYS! sigh.
I feel so overwhelmed now. and my brain's feeling a little mush.
You know what i wish and pray for? that my group, my lovely crimson, my crazy C4 would stay together until they all graduate. that they would never forget each and everyone. what i want, and im sure the leaders of the group would not want the love poured out to them to be wasted.
I thank God for NDP. really. if not for NDP, i seriously doubt that crimson would even be like what it is now. but the question is, would it last? I believe it would. and i pray to my Almighty God that they will.

Infactuation or love? time will tell.

National day parade journey

2009-08-10T01:10:00.000-07:00

Taken from Juliana Lee's blog, my fellow Team leader. What she wrote was somehow exactly how i felt towards each and everyone in my group. plus my addition to her. Thanks Juli=)

And so ends the NDP journey.For the past( I dont know how many) weeks,saturdays were spent with this lovely bunch of people.
They have really made it all worthwhile,the hot sun,the running about,the not so good food
the past few weeks with them have been really a heartwarming experience.Like angels,they have the kindest hearts and the most sincere smiles.I miss you guys,I really do and I really thank God for letting me meet each and everyone of you.

Ben Lee,with the subtle sense of humour,sporting nature(accompanies us on our silly ventures) and also stopping us if we actually make stupid decisions
Huili,who's an inspiration,with a contagious laughter and kick ass girl power.
Hezong,with a secret ability to shoot and suan ppl and always gives off the very benevolent aura.
Jonny! the very daddy-ish and loudspeaker in the group,takes care of everyone,24 hour entertainer
Shujun mummy! the vry jumpy one with a very bubbly enthusiasm and also laughs very easily <3
Ronald,the one with the very small eyes and says a lot of bullshit funny stuff and my platform partner!
Ivan,who has the heart of an angel,gullible,innocent and very sweet.
Samson Hsu,the one whines a lot,looks like an ah beng but actually qte guai,and outwardly humsup.brings a whole bundle of joy to the group.the one that gets whacked very often.
Maggie,with a very sweet smile,the most caring heart ,with a contagious concern for the ppl around her.
Liying,the sweetest little girl,very pretty inwardly and outwardly
Teckyi,secretly very enthusiastic,can do a lot of silly and cute actions,makes all of us smile uncontrollably.
Chongboon,the shy boy,looks blur but actually act blur only.haha cute cute.
Nazreen and Nisha,the ones that gets mixed up quite often intitally but are special in their very own ways yet bringing so much happiness to the group.(it's a sunny yellow banana day)
Jiawei,the very very high person,a bit siao-char bor kind(haha),brings up the enthusiasm of the grp by a few notches and willing to give w/o expecting any returns.
Xiang Xiang,looks blur also,sometimes dont understan what he's saying but his actions are one of a kind amusing and brings so much joy to us.
Mardy,the dancer,the wild girl and the very enthu abt everything one.
Yunting,the female version of samson,very amusing,very sweet and does a lot of funny funny stuff.
Juliana, the very opposite of Jonny. loves each and every one of the group in her secret little ways. And every little thing she does, it always speaks volumes. And worthy of every Team leader, one who makes her team leader look good.

Strangers when we first began,now we're Crimson-ians :)

Napping in an airconditioned room in the high noon with clear windows is probably one of the best feelings in the world.

2009-07-21T08:34:00.003-07:00

Well. with facebook, blogging doesnt seem like a good way to tell people about my life anymore. Not much to tell anyway. Too busy and lazy. Go seee my facebook if you want. mostly stuff regarding NDP. thats probably the less mundane things im doing right now.

2009-07-07T07:13:00.000-07:00

and who says good laughs dont come easy?

2009-07-05T05:11:00.003-07:00

if you want to say it, just say it. stop beating about the bush.

2009-06-16T19:47:00.000-07:00

there are moments. moments that you should say something. but yet nothing comes out of your mouth. despite your mind screaming at you to say something. and when that moment passes and never comes back, you scream at yourself, put yourself through agony, on how stupid you have been. fantasizing on how it things would have turned out if you said it.sigh.

Anyway.i've got a driving test in 5 hours. so i'm kinda like flipping through something i've not touched since secondary four. a driving "ten year series" book. typical Singaporean.
These few days have been good. GOOD. i get to sleep in. i've been telling some around me. this is my first real break in 21 weeks. so i deserve it.=)

Yesterday, jie ying was having this conversation with me, saying that i've been busy, too busy for friends. to come to think of it. yeah. really. i have been. take yi ting and stanven for example. they've been trying to meet up with me since like 3 weeks ago, but yet i've been busy or ocuppied with stuff(which is essentially the same thing), thinking that its alright cuz i just thought that yi ting just finished his army and just wanted to catch up and have a meal with us. never did i think that they wanted a birthday meal with me! they even bought me a gift!(which i'm happily playing with it now) sigh. and me intellectual sister? since when did we have a real lenghty conversation? sigh. i need to get some stuffs right. Bear with me alright? ill contact some of you real soon.=)

38.8 degrees celcius

2009-05-31T09:04:00.000-07:00

is the temperature Jonathan took at about 7pm in the train on the 30th of may 2009. given the swine flu thing going around now, he should be in a cell in a hospital. BUT NOOOOOO. Instead of giving himself up to the authorities, he continues to run amok in Singapore Polytechnic, spending the last nine hours sitting in business school doing is final year phase 1 presentation for the next day. However, he has promised only to faint and succumb to his illness only after his presentation. so pray, its only the common one, not the piggy one, that he has contracted.

Oh, btw, He just turn 19 this month, spending his birthday with crimson, Srilanka, Spprimers and DBA/FT/3A/07, though it was just a cream puff=)

Happy birthday buddy=)

2009-05-02T05:13:00.000-07:00

Life's abit like jellybeans.

In moments of sweetness,

you can't stop having more,

but once you run out,

you're left with the sour ones.

And when the sour one runs out too,

then you're left with the ones that taste horrid.

happy birthday mum!

2009-04-23T07:16:00.000-07:00

Mr. Popular

SIGHHHHHHHHHHH~
2 more weeks.

Make this a short one since i'm still in the office.

Anyway, over the course of 5 weeks in the office world, i have come to a conclusion;

Customer service officers are the most popular/hated people on the face of the earth. Period. No contest.

Reasons why i think we're popular?
1. Our phones literally ring their heads off, countless people DYING to speak to us.
2. People willing-ly give us their phone numbers and addresses while some die TRYING to get phone numbers in pubs/bars.
3. Desperate people leave their numbers in our voicemail, begging us to get back to them.
4. In some cases, people actually come all the way to our office in changi just to talk to us.
5. People call us as early as 8 am in the morning.

And reasons why i think we're the most hated?
1. Complete strangers calls and scolds us for things we sold to them of which they broke it themselves.
2. ...
(actually, i can only think of one reason. But i think thats bad enough already i mean. you dont ever have people calling you up everyday just to scold you, do you?)

Jonathan Yu- Customer service officer.
Damn am i "POPULAR"
Yup. thats about it. Speaking of voicemail, it think i have to retrieve some now.
G'day!

To love someone is to let him/her to be happy. ALWAYS.

2009-03-29T05:46:00.000-07:00

WOW. Long long time seems i've blogged. well, there's really nothing much worth nothing for the past four weeks of my teeny weeny corner of the universe. Other than some BB events and a class BBQ yesterday, really nothing much. Other than work of course.

Its gettinga little boring, and for the first time in my life,

I CAN'T WAIT FOR SCHOOL TO START!!

my soul is dying.

Everyday in my six by six cubicle, ARGH.

Six days a week. 0830-1700.

well, thats all i have to say about my past four weeks.yeah i know. pathetic ain't it?

Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.

EMOTIONS RUNNING

2009-03-22T22:05:00.000-07:00

Everytime i see, i ask myself,why do you even bother? Why do yuo keep going back? You'll only end up hurting yourself again and again and again.

Maybe i'm just kaypo or what. but then again, i just wanna know how she is doing, i mean, after all we've been through. Argh shit. why am i even typing this.

naerntbansrtnntrsbntsbmyri.ra.euduytsrssbtjrkubkisyklsrtkkkkbthjatejsn6jsjrbhofbsb

And that empty feeling that comes along with it.

2009-03-07T06:29:00.000-08:00

Handphone died on me again. DAMN. I need an ice cream.

Week 1 of ITP is over. 6 more weeks to go. 6 LONG LONG WEEKS.
my collegues and supervisor are nice people, willing to teach me lots of stuff, but te reason i picked logistics over Human resource was too really just to get out of a 6 by 6 cubicle. life in an office really really sucks man.

Sigh.

In the midst of my finals.

2009-02-17T19:38:00.000-08:00

Quite a few people have asked me to blog. So i shall blog about 5 things in chronological order.

1. News Shoes!

HELLO NEW SHOES! Goodyear Street 2. Bought it at Plaza Sing.

Im never letting you out of my sight.

2.Valentine's Day

Nope. No date. Quit asking. Cell in the morning, studies at the airport. Met my dearest close friend for dinner afters. That count as a valentine?

3. Retrenched even before starting work

I initially got posted to this huge company called international aerospace tubes-asia p/l dealing with SIA. But yesterday my liaison officer message me say no need to go find him cuz he thinks i have been re-assigned a new one, ask me go check my SAS. Apparently it was blank, so i asked him whether that was normal. Replied saying that wasnt, and will check for me. After exam he got back to me, saying that the company withdrew from ITP. So no company for me. Haiz. Waiting for a new one lor. No attachment, No graduation.

4. Bells ringing!(Not you, my dear intellectual sister =) )

All the bells went went off last night for some reason. All the lifts were down, and there was an angry mob outside the guard house. From what i could see was that there were quite a few guards inside, Hunkered down. Losers. Security here sucks man. First my brother's slippers, then my shoes, now this. DOWN WITH THE SECURITY GUARDS!

MY BELOVED WHITE ADIDAS PANTHER SHOES GOT STOLEN!

dammit. getting ready for pfp test in school and when i was looking for it... IT WAS FREAKING GONE! And i live in a condominium lah. all the "security features" my ass. I never lost anything when i lived in the HDB. It has either got to be my block's residences, the cleaners or the guards.

I know times are bad now lah, but why my adidas shoes? WHY?????

put up posters though.

Come back to papa my dear shoe...

hmm.

2009-02-05T07:02:00.000-08:00

As much as i hope and wish and want it to happen... the possibility seems so so small. Would i be given a chance? Would i have a chance?

But today i saw a light at the end of the tunnel.

SPP Reunion dinner.

2009-02-02T07:04:00.000-08:00

Anyway, For those who know that i fell into a Long kang and injured my right leg? Its much musch better now. But now its my left knee. Cant bend it and climbs stair much now... since my 20 KM run last wed. OUCH.

Kiled two crabs just now for dinner. Gonna have nightmares tonight man. Someone suggested not sleeping. Good idea huh?

Week of pain.

2009-01-24T08:39:00.000-08:00

Thinking of whether i should ask, ask what i thought i could 3 years ago. Until things changed. Until people made first moves. But now we're back to square one, except much older.

i think i need ice cream.

Blessed Christmas!

2008-12-25T00:15:00.001-08:00

Blessed christmas to all my readers!

(or is it the other way round? hm.)

Expedition Stage 5

2008-12-15T07:41:00.000-08:00

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.

2008-12-12T07:33:00.000-08:00

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

2008-12-02T05:40:00.000-08:00

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

2008-11-29T09:05:00.000-08:00

MISSES~

2008-11-28T08:43:00.001-08:00

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?

2008-11-25T06:37:00.001-08:00

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)

2008-11-25T06:34:00.000-08:00

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

2008-11-24T08:43:00.001-08:00

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.

2008-11-16T08:40:00.000-08:00

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.

2008-11-15T08:58:00.000-08:00

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.
12 Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall

Investments~

2008-11-13T06:07:00.000-08:00

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!

2008-11-12T07:33:00.000-08:00

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

2008-11-09T04:52:00.000-08:00

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

2008-11-05T06:44:00.000-08:00

Alone at home. Day 2.

OSLT Sri Lanka '08

2008-11-02T08:43:00.001-08:00

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.

2008-10-17T05:44:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-10-12T02:14:00.000-07:00

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

2008-10-09T09:20:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-10-06T09:40:00.000-07:00

How would i know?
But no matter what choice i make,
i will definately lose it.
No.

A Week In JAPAN!

2008-09-08T08:11:00.000-07:00

Moshi Moshi!
A week has passed in Japan and i'm SEROIUSLY missing Singapore!
Anyway, i've been to parts of metropolitian Tokyo and to Disneysea with my little cousin.
But I shant say much, and let the pictures do the talking instead!
Enjoy!

Greetings from Japan!

2008-09-01T04:06:00.000-07:00

MOSHI MOSHI!

After 7 hours by plane, 2 hours by airport-city express and an hour on the public trains, i'm finally here in my aunt's house! im about an hour ahead of you guys, so yeap! AH HAS.

Anyways, the only thing interesting enough on my way here is that. My luggage was lost.

LOST?

Yeap. You got it right.

Then how? Fourteen days without fresh underwear leh!

Like that lor. What can i do?

No lahs. Haha. Apparently the airport guys loaded my luggage on the plane going to Chicago via Hong Kong. Flight number UA805. And my flight was Washington DC via Tokyo. Flight number UA804. Hence the muck up. Dont worry, the Japs over here said that if my luggage dont get here my midnight, they'll compensate me a hundred US dollars. HMMM. I'm actually hoping that they would deliver it late! AHAHA. Then i'll be a hundred dollars richer. Whoo~ not bad eh? Hmmm. Okay okay. My aunt's calling me for dinner le. update you guys more later on alright?

UP UP AND AWAY!

EXAMS!

2008-08-08T09:44:00.000-07:00

Ahhh~ Just finished watching the opening ceremony of the olympic games. Pretty awesome i mustsay myself, especially the final torch lighting part. BUT i not here to talk about that! NO WAY!

Right now im just sitting on my bed blogging away.

NO PICTURES FOR WED! HOW COME? Cuz i was too darn far away. I was the flag bearer on the chool's National Day Observation Ceremony and my place was where the cresent and the stars are. The far left corner. UH HUH. And And! Sorry that i didnt stick around to chat or support the team. I had my Financial and Management accounting test at 3.15 and i was already twenty minutes late. AND the test was back at Business school while the ceremony was at admin block. Imagine running in my uniform. H.O.T HOT! But i went back to support PRIMERS for poly 50. Easily fitted into the role as medic, MASSAGING cramped thighs and the like. Apparently Wei Qiang want to learn to be a medic cuz he got jealous that the female runners let me massage their thighs! haha... naughty pervert qiang... HAHA!

Anyway, went 'shopping' with Shi jun didi, Peijin meimei and jun yu today. went thru city hall, suntec and marina square, ate long johns, played a little arcade and they got their pencil boxes from mini toons. yeah. Nothing like a time out wth some friends. yeah okay okay.i really have to start studying soon. NATIONAL CAMP! ARCHERY INSTRUCTOR JON!

2008-07-28T21:21:00.000-07:00

you know. i just read kay hwa's email-ed testimonial, and the first thing, or rather, a few things that came to my mind, was that life can be a fragile and that, just be appreciative of the people around me. So today onward, i'm going to give everyone i know a hug.=)
Kinda like reminded me of a video i once saw on the mcdonals tv. a guy standing with a huge FREE HUGS placard.

HUG HUG EVERONE!~

My title for this post is exactly how i feel right now. But they will be explained in another post another day. Anyway, my sole purpose here today is just to upload some photos.

Anyway...

Dont you ever feel that sometimes, the relationships now in life, especially now in our hormone fueled phase of life, can sometimes be the very best, and also the very worse.

In everything there will always be an optimum and the bottom. And once you reached the optimum, when you move on to the next phase, dont you sometimes feel that you have lost something with that person? that you act differently even without knowing? And knowing these, you're so afraid to move on with others because you know one day, it will happen again?

I'm happpy now. Tired but happy. With people arund me that are so fun loving and easy to relate to. What more can a poly student ask for? But sometimes i wonder. What kind of friends are they? Are they just CCA friends? normal friends?or friends that genuinely care for you? i would really love all of them to be in the last category.

Dont you just hate HIM/HER
Dont you just love HIM/HER

GRUMBLE~

I think i found my power-up mushroom

Time check-8:19 P.M.

I've been running on adrenaline and coca cola since 6 A.M. yesterday.
38 continueous hours of no sleep. God knows why i'm still blogging.
But i'm pretty excited about it! HAHA.
Straight after night cycling, even after changing into my uniform, i was still contemplating on whether to go for band competition.
Guess i made the right choice! I GOT SECOND IN OPEN CATEGORY! I TRASHED THE OFFICERS FROM 12TH COY! WHAHAHAHA! DOWN WITH Anglo Chinese School!
Still, was pretty grumpy through the entire competition due to the lack of sleep. And the heat and humidity. Worse. Wait 4 hours for a 4 min performance cuz registration was at 8 A.M. and my turn was at 11:56. Still, it was all worth it!
YAY. Now i just want to go and sleep. NIGHTS!

BUSY BUSY BUSY!

2008-06-16T20:17:00.000-07:00

Guess my 18th year of my life is going to be the most eventful so far.
looking at my itiniery for the next half of the year, i'm going to have 3 overseas trips and 4 camps. One to japan for holiday, another for the overseas humanitarian trip and one more to jarkata,indonesia for the Jarkata highland gathering. And for the camps, RIO Camp at Ubin, Discovery Camp,guessing that it will be at BBGB campsite, Church Junior camp and considering whether to go for Church senior camp. And to top all these off i still have school work, BB31, Singapore Pipe Band, Singapore Polytechnic Bagpipers, Archery and piano. Good thing i dont have a girlfriend anymore. It would be an added strain. Not that i mind but, yeah. I would feel good to be loved and support in a way.

I dont know how many people know this, but i love camps. I really do. For some reason i feel very relieved. Myself. Happy. Free from the constrains rom the world. Like all my problems are gone.

And now i'm really worried. every time i seek consent to go for camp, mum always putsme through hell to sign the damn paper."WHY GO FOR CAMP? FOR WHAT? WASTE TIME ONLY.IS THERE A NEED?" Well. yeah. It makes me happy. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY=)

Speaking of which, i gotta study liao. Prove to my mum that i can still do well despite all these commitments!

AND GUYS! PLEASE DO START STUDYING! YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL THAT ALL OF YOU ARE SUPER GENIUSES THAT DO NOT NEED TO STUDY!

2008-06-13T09:16:00.000-07:00

I cant resist.
i just have to say.
Something is just not right.Not there.

Missing.

Alright. Back to Fundamentals of electronic Business.

2008-06-12T08:50:00.000-07:00

Holidays! HAHAHA!

the week after POC has just fantastic! Partly due to the fact that it was my birthday on monday. Its just completely made my week. Words just cant describe how i felt there and then. Thanks guys.

Anyway throughout the week, i found myself always with the primers people. I really felt like we were one family. We chilled in our room, cam-whored like siao, played games, settling primers awards. I've never felt like this or been through all these before. 18th birthday is just sweeet!

today after staying in the primers room tryig to clear the awards for primers awards, i was going to go home for dinner with pei jin and shi jun. But we met benjamin(year 3),jie ying(freshie) and andy(freshie).ended up being persuaded by them to follow them to walk walk at plaza sing. though it was still early, so we agreed.

Pei jin and i had to go home for dinner, so we watched the rest have dinner. then walked around PS and the cathay, learning jeffery miaowing and laughing like siao. had ben&jerry, got pokemon game from shijun etc. etc.. you get the idea.
got back at 9 plus, still haven had dinner, but not hungry at all... anyway, the week was just fantastic!

Tmr there's parade! i'm gonna shoot again! yay! haha! achery!

Anyway, here are some pictures for you to enjoy=)

I give up. Blogger's being a bitch. next time ba.

UP UP AND AWAY!
