this is the day where all of us are waiting for. well, not everyone, but we still do know that we have to end this phase of life at some point. even though tears are not seen on stage or anywhere around the convention centre, i'm pretty sure that some of us do know that we may not be seeing each other again. there is a mixture of sadness and, of course, gladness. having spent 3 wonderful years in this school and it is indeed the best times in my life, for now.
i put on my gown and went to my seat. slowly, memories start to melt into my conscience and pretty much made a clear image of the past. sweet memories, some call them. i giggled at myself, not knowing there's so many people in my course, as i start to remember my first crush in poly when i saw her walk up the stage to collect her diploma.
the graduation procession ended and i headed back to my ex-classroom. the nostalgic space that surrounds me churns out an appreciation for the lecturers who nurtured me till the end of my diploma course. and of coz, not forgetting the 2 TSOs who assisted my group's struggle in our project work. both of them are like friends than just academic staff.
went out with jay and kinet for dinner in town and kinda made jay emo. ha. ended the day with a freaking long train ride, accompanying kinet to sembawang thn to jurong east. in the train, we were flipping through the ece mag, and we kinda picked the pretty girls and i told them about my first crush. while looking into the picture with all the ece academic staff, i start to recall my lecturers from year 1 and 2. these memories are pretty faint and i'm sure i can't remember some of their names clearly too, but i do remember what they did and i will always give thanks to their efforts.
I would like to thank my peers for this exciting and fun journey in NP and my parents who have been supporting me. Thank God for all the encouragement, wisdom, support and courage. I love you girls/guys.

morning blues...
went into ivy's blog, and got freaked out. not coz her blog's graphics are to horror like, but the music just shook my quiet being. it's like some chanting and i was thinking, "what! ghost?! where?! where's the chanting?!"
being the morning, i looked around my desk and found out it's ivy's blog. arh...
today on ST Home, Msia is banning foreign cars to fill their petrol tanks in kiosks that are within a 50km radius relative to the Sg-Msia border. on the surface, it's pretty bad for the sg cars coz malaysia's petrol is so much cheaper and the ban kinda shut the tap of an essential source for petrol towards them. reason for the ban, they don't wanna share the RM 40 billion subsidy on petrol to foreign cars. i thought, "well, it's pretty reasonable. since it's your money, you can do anything with in." however, the kiosks owners cried out. being up to 90% of their business, especially the kiosks that substantially near for sg cars to enter msia and top-up, depended on sg cars. well, save the money for locals, but locals lost business. haha. nice move.

weird dream...
i had a weird dream yesterday. not really that hentai kind, just weird.
i dreamt that i was going to some mrt station with kian and binny, but ended up in some mrt station that looked like yio chu kang and than i kinda called kinet. dunno why i called kinet, but i called kinet. but kinet nv answer my call, instead, someone from alpha answered. thn i say hui jia with her group of friends just after a bath. thn i woke up.
eh brain, can come out with something that has a relation to something or not? like dream of running or jogging along east coast park and thn do some pull-ups. or play badminton with a grp of friends. something like that would be nice.
i managed to complete a song yesterday night and realised it took me around an hour plus. the time just flew and i was pretty absorbed over it. well, ns is coming and i'm pretty excited over it, also kinda depress over it. my mom has been saying it like ns is hell, so it influenced me abit.
i guess i should actually read up on how to play stocks eh, to waste some time away.

i'm alittled worried on how will our songs turn out during the performance coz we kinda only perfected it last minute. ha. punk man! ok, alittle punk won't hurt. i can't believe how slip shot i am, just finishing 2 songs in like 4 days and one of them i finished it on the rehearsal day itself. i was thinking of a 4th, with just me playing and maybe a love song. arh, i hate writing love songs, it's so boring and from a fat man like me, i've got 0 experience in this kind of matters. boo...
ns is edging nearer and the time where i'm going to leave people is also pretty soon. sigh, i'm going to miss my guitar for 2 weeks man. i love my guitar. and i'm going to get a new one soon after i got enough cash to get a JAP Strat. i'm going japanese...

can't thought of a title...
it's a pretty good day yesterday, being with the guys and playing more songs and indirectly killing them. man... i wanna exercise. but it's so hot and there's still a rehearsal later on. i've got one more song to complete and i've got to type it out later on. well, simple song and kinda a change of pace in a genre, all the weird pop stuff, or maybe just the christian reflections.
probably the only thing that i realise is that the only situation that i dare to say, "i love you" is to my guitar. arh... like that how to get girlfriend sia, edmund. it'll be like... "ゆき（ギータの名前） 愛してるぞ" something like that. ha.
ok, you reader will probably thing you should actually give up reading this blog coz this fool just kept going about his guitar. well, maybe. ha.

guitar...
jo came over today. i was thinking of how to teach him guitar and i thought that i should actually teach him the more theory kind of approach. not really very very theory, but to start off from knowing the notes rather thn knowing the chord patterns, which what most guitar guides will prefer.
there's so many things to learn on the guitar but i'm just so reluctant to pickup, like memorising my frets. without knowing them, i'm still quite lost in changing keys in solos. pretty cool at how richie blackmore does. santana is the way man... santana...

fun day...
went to darren's place today to do up phoebe's card and nua at his pool. my hands are all wrinkled. his place changed alot man, another new home theatre and another new dining table. wah.
in the pool, i was kinda worrying about something. well, not about getting a girlfriend, it's about nurturing my kids next time. well, it's very very far, but i'll still be there one day. will i be prepared? beating our child seems to be a rare practice nowadays, and seeking alternatives bring up a child. it's pretty difficult man. say if i've got a daughter, i was thinking will i accept her character and her image statement. say my daughter bought a set of bikini or a piece of exotic under garment, how well i react to it. hardly any asian parent wants their child to bear too much skin in the public, so letting this thought go is pretty difficult. getting a guy will be much simpler i guess. well, i think for my wife, getting a girl will be much simpler. hahaha.
i'm not sure about how my dad feels nowadays. he's like a loner man. after work, come home with dinner for my bro and i, thn head out alone to de-stress. i don't see him talking much to his friends and maybe he's a family guy. i wonder how he feel about me drinking beer. at least he let it go, and just told me to watch my alcohol consumption, which is pretty minimal. what if i smoke?
jo's coming over tml for his 1st guitar lesson, shall cook something for lunch. i'm getting broke. ha.

simpler blogskin...
i thought that it might be good to be simpler. ha. not exactly new though. well, the previous one kinda contradicts my image. i'm just a plain little boy going to be sent into the renown slave camp in a nearly island this coming june.
well, i'll not be seeing alot of people and definitely meeting new buddies. will be goodbye to some of you, especially the ones i met in school, the not so close ones that is. i can't wait for the moment after the 2 years. will it be nus? or ntu? i'm pretty flexible though, but i do prefer nus, which still has no reply to my application. i'm quite sad about it, just hope that they don't send in a rejection letter.
bumped today off and i'm in a middle of a new song. well, quite mushy really, and i'm attempting a 6/8 signature. so i met up with alot of challenges. booted my short sentences coz it's too draggy and now i'm thinking about the longer sentences. i gave a mushy title, Reason to Love. hahaha. well, not a mushy theme though. it's a song about this child left home due to some differences between the life she wants to pursue, which was thought by her dad as too far fetched, and her dad's idea of her future. her dad kinda fought with her about it, so she resorted to leaving home. so her dad felt really sad about her leaving him and the family and came into his senses that he should just welcome her home and not blame her even if she succeeded or failed to achieve what she wants. well, this song is in the perspective of the dad, not the girl.
still have a long way to go for this song, so probably an acoustic set, with zw singing. hahahaha.

risotto... yay...
i didnt expect my dad to arrive home early. oh well, it's till pretty difficult to have a conversation with him. not that we're both quarreling, it's just both of us have this similar character. loners. haha.
i was trying to think of a set of lyrics, with a melody that is pretty wavy kind. not too stuck up with the current level of theory i know. well, i guess i have to go visit yubin sometime to learn what he learnt about minor major and stuff, so i can add some flare in my songs. recently, i found out that the major 4th can be changed into a minor to lead a song back to the major root. it's pretty interesting and i'm actually abusing it now. ha. oh well, the minor 7ths are pretty interesting too.
yesterday, had the 1st rehearsal for the mp song, kinda forced kinet to puke out a solo. haha. everyone's doing fine, have to be tighter and i'm alittle lost too. so maybe coming saturday? rehearse again? haha... i hope so, it's pretty fun doing this song.
tml will be a new day. no work, but got workout. lets go ed...

super hyper voltex milk
milk + corn flakes = one of my favourite breakfast combinations.
it's over, no more pharmacy assistant, no more patients thinking that we a doctors, no more drugs and bye bye to some nice people i met in the pharmacy. the 2 months with them was probably the most exciting job i had, trying to beat the clock and entertaining patients' requests. sometimes, it does feel good after you've done something for the patient but it kinda sucks when the patient tried to think his/her way and not listening to you.
i hated the home delivery. personally, i feel that why can't people just follow procedures or agree to the conditions that is written on the home delivery option paper? it's written 3 working days, and they kinda left this condition out.
another thing is, why do patients approach us if they want to change their prescription? it's weird. why don't they contact their doctors. maybe, the doctors are weird too. hahaha.
something random...

pizza phobia...
caught this thing this afternoon. didnt report to work this morning due to constipation and it really sucks. ha. when my bro came home this late afternoon, i was pretty well so i decided to give my bro a treat, since i rarely do that. i was thinking of ordering mcdonalds but noticed that i had it last night and i have 50 bucks in my wallet, so why not pizza?
i hadn't tried canadian for some time since i kinda patronise sarpinos, but well, wont hurt trying rite? so i asked my bro to order 2 regular 10" pizzas, beef bacon cheeseburger and smoked salmon. i kinda heard his conversation and realised he missed the "regular" word, so after he ended his conversation with 62410241, i double checked with him if he ordered regular and mentioned the word "regular". he said, "yes."
but it turned out... no... 2 large 14" pizzas at the door step and i went, "shit man, how are both of us going to finish such stuff?" well, since that pizza dude made a trip down, i wouldn't want to send him back again, not knowing whether is canadian's or my bro's fault.
this is hell. i ate more thn a 14" pizza and i was bloated. i actually got sick for pizza now and the smoked salmon was awful. no more pizza till maybe after or during my bmt. argh...
