Recently, one of my friends said that ive become more matured. To me, there wasn't so much of a compliment, because so much that i wanted to change for the better, i feel that im still as childish as ever. i realised that there are alot of problems scattered across my life, until it has become a mine field. And probably because of this constant effort to avoid the dangerous spots, treading across this mine field simply tires me out.
Maybi that's the reason why ive been feeling so restless and tired no matter how much i tried to rest, hoping to feel more refreshed. If i have to live up to the expectation of being a matured 21, i guess i should start by clearing the mines.

倔强 (by MayDay)
当 我和世界不一样 那就让我不一样
坚持对我来说 就是以刚克刚我 如果对自己不行 如果对自己说谎
即使别人原谅 我也不能原谅
最美的愿望 一定最疯狂
我就是我自己的神 在我活的地方
我和我最后的倔强 握紧双手绝对不放
下一站是不是天堂 就算失望不能绝望
我和我骄傲的倔强 我在风中大声的唱
这一次为自己疯狂 就这一次 我和我的倔强
(就这一次 让我大声唱啦啦啦...)
对 爱我的人别紧张 我的固执很善良
我的手越肮髒 眼神越是发光
你 不在乎我的过往 看到了我的翅膀
你说过被火烧过才能出现凤凰
逆风的方向 更适合飞翔
我不怕千万人阻挡 只怕自己投降
Stop what you are doing. Turn up the volume. N'joi. This song is dedicated to the unhappy people around me^^* Life is a roller coaster. njoi the ride.*jia you. *

absence of a decent soul.
dead for quite some time.
shut my mind from the rest of the world.
finding meaningless words that rhyme.
words that speak of an emotion, worse than
when one is comsumed by boredom,
the existence of nothingness probably
is the cause of this weird syndrome.
physics lecture this morning was sho boring, i was simply bored to tears... seriously i yawned till tears came to my eyes... slept in lt 5 this morning, then slept for an hour after lunch at oilver cove, den another hour of sleep at the student lounge before sectionals... someone pls slap me.
"All snarks are farks.
Some zarks are snarks.
Can we conclude that some zarks are farks?"..... .. .... .. wtf.
im seriously need to polish up my reasoning skills.

5 years or even more.
supposed to meet the rest at 330 today at E Coast mac for the skating thing. i was an hr late, couldn't find them, couldn't contact ocs and haiping. it might have been a wasted trip if i didn't run into another group of familiar faces. at first i didn't quite notice this group of people staring at me until shihan, gave that stunned look, and blurt out,"zhicheng?!?!..." ... omg, it was shihan! and a bunch of other commonwealthians.. it me as well bcos i've always wondered where she went after grad. it felt abit weird bcos today i talked to some commonwealthians whom i never spoken to before in my entire 4 zhi-bi4/zhi-bei years in css, but the feeling i got today was so... qing1 qie4... and i was looking at yi ching at eye level! (tho she's still shorter than me without the blades) 5 years, or even more, considering we were sec 1-2 classmates. ha, how time flies, and it felt like nothing much changed.
oh ya, i realised that my club mates changed the venue to esplanade. last min decision i suppose. watever la...
i feel that trips to East Coast are getting more and more meaningless.

met up jieren & john for dinner at jp, ended up toking kok and hogging the table at mos burger for 3 hrs.. it helped to dissipate abit of that uncomfortable feeling. They said that og normally don't last more that one and a half years. i don't wish the believe that.
Some time alone tml i guess. Then school.

had a swim w john this morn at ntu's swimming pool, managed to sneak in. den slept on the mrt all the way, before meetin my friends for k.~~~
k at first i wanted to take Science of Music, then i realised the minimum bidding point jumped from 1 to 343 in just one morning, kk highly demanded module, expected, so give up...
then i considered jap, 5 hrs of tutorials plus 2 hrs of lec, i think initially i overestimated myself and expected myself to be able to handle that high level of commitment, but on second thought, give up...
then i considered taking Gene & Society, then i realised that BioE students are not allow to choose that mod. den i considered Physical Qns from Everyday life, recommeded by xy, the i found out that it's not for Engin students..

Somehow i couldn't. for some reasons they just seemed to be realli connected to each other. Also the reason why, initially i was abit reluctant to blog about what im thankful for in the preceding year and my new year resolutions for 2007. Then i've been blog-hopping and i thought it wasn't really nice to let this transition quietly go by. so here i am with my thank-you speech. sort of.
first to my css gang. Really sorry that i couldn't join you guys for countdown which i felt was really impt to me, cos it marked another yr of friendship. When kl asked why did i pao qi ni men, ha, i knew it was meant to be a joke. But it stuck me. Jus to let u guys noe, wo bu hui pao qi ni men de. you are the lao-peng-yous whom i can fall upon, and give me this feeling that even if the whole world abandons me, i still have u guys. kk i noe it's abit mushy, but i dun do this often so bear with it ^^*
nx, is to my army friends. though now we go on separate ways, the tough times, on and off the field, will not be forgotten. Thanks for accompanying me through this 2 yr-plus process of growing up.
finally, my dear gaia. To be frank i was really really reluctant to join O wk, given my anti-social attitude. But you guys proved that it wasn't a mistake and probably the best decision i've ever made. uni life, though tough, you guys made it really enjoyable and meaningful for me. What can i do without you guys? ha, once again (i noe you guys like to say this)... Gaia, you rock!
new resolutions never work for me, but if i had to come up with one, i guess i'd have only one on my list:1.1.07
at the airport. a realli unique christmas tree covered with LED lightings.
Cute Ticket. ha Peter Pan xia^^* got the magical feel le mahz?
oh this shop offers tattoing services as well, the temporary kind.
the slot machines (dunno what call it) are all super kawaii one.
this isnt a real statue, it's a real person! The couple at Orchard Rd with the struggling dove have a really long way to go to be as pro as this lady.. haha she always disturb tourist who wished to take photo with her.
A street just outside the themepark...
Mac in Japan. Even the fastfood looks different from that back home.
the entrance beckons.

Oh it was the Hello Kitty's bday celebration, some sort of parade... she celebrates a couple of times in a day, must be really old ba, haha... it looked like nus's Rag & Flag.. Oh it's their 5th anniversary as well..
simulator ride! with spiderman speaking jap... so hilarious.. but it was one of the more exciting ones...oh we took the Shrek 4D simulator ride which some of you guys might have heard it before.. the donkey sneezes and you feel actually water being sprayed onto you, you can actually feel something brush your legs when the "spiders" appear, stuf lik tt.. oh ya. shreks noes jap, do does the gingerbread man... imagine elmo saying " komichiwa.."
Oh there's this Waterworld stunt show. it was spectacular, didn't really snap any photos for tt one, but i realise that a couple of people uploaded the whole show on youtube, you shd take a look.. all the explosives and the acrobatic stuntmen.. den der's Jaw's, boat ride & fake sharks... the lady driving the boat was rather cute, especially when she was shooting the fake sharks with a fake shotgun...
waiting for food... zhen4 zhong1 ramen for lunch... mmmm....
plastic food... appetizing plastic food.Somewhere in the vicinty, there's this cao kawaii de Takoyaki (octupus ball) museum!! came across this keychain with spiderman holding to a Takoyaki on a stick... then there's another shop selling kaleidescopes of all shape and sizes.. despite the language barrier, the lady was desperatedly trying to tell us not to touch the displays (everythin was super ex), but we still go woa~ woa~ woa~
ha, this was really happenin. all the smoke wasn't part of any act.. but we all kapo so tried to take a video of it.
mmm... what to drink?...
chistmas lightings... mm cant remember the name of this street..
another one.
dinner was at Shabu-Shabu... reminds me of the song.. nice hot steamboat. Stay over at Ramada hotel.. they are really thoughtful. there was 2 pillows, each with a different textured side, hard, soft, with-beads kind.. oh and in the bathrm, they have a heater behind the mirror so that the rectanglar section of the mirror in front of the basin doesn't become foggy after your bath.. and, ya the toilet seat is heated... with a bulit-in washlet.
oh over here, it gets dark as early as 4.30 pm.
breakfast was at...

um.. abit vulgar for a restaurant's name. haha but my appetite was still der.
Todaiji Temple. Situated in the deer park. Why was it called the deer park? cos of the many deers that were allowed to roam freely. Oh, they bow the way Japs do, mm... either they were trained to do so or simply, their heads were heavy...
i guess the photo couldnt effective capture the grandeur of the temple. but trust me, it was huge.
oh there, one of em.
another favourite spot for tourist to take pix.oh in this temple there's a small hole in this huge pillar, and it is believed that one 'll become smarter if he managed to crawl through. haha, true or not, my results nx sem will tell ^^*
nah, this isn't holy water. it's a different version of a water cooler. pure water, all natural. you can actually find a couple of these at every temple here in Japan.
sweet ^^*
kimono fashion show. at this place where we had our lunch. ha we all agreed that the red one was the best. After lunch, we headed for Kyoto.
Upslope. upslope. upslope. from the tour guide, "i know there are alot of shops around. Please don't get distracted and follow me." impossible. they attract us like bees to honey.
Another temple. The thing bout this temple was that people come here to ask everything bout love. oh that little rock was called the "Love Stone". This rock is called the "Love-fortune-telling" stone. If you walk safety from this stone to the other with ur eyes closed. if once, your wish will be granted soon. If you can't, it'll be long before your love is realised...." um...didn't wanna risk.
wishes written on wooden boards..
bro. bro. me. bro.
another family pix.
yuan.
another pix. the place was huge. and they are trying to get people to norminate this temple to be one of the 7 Wonders of the World. um.. isn't there 7 already? or 8? *shrug* ... maybi the man made one.
oops. up till this pt, i realised tt the pix are abit jumbled up. cos kind of consolidated them from 3 different cams. this this was lunch again. tempura.
notice the flower printed on the white lantern? 16 petals represent the emperor.
bullet train! according to bro, not the fastest tho. wanna get a feel?...haha felt so stupid as we stood in a row trying to get a video of it. missed a couple of time when my cam didn't load fast enough.

Maribara station ---> Gifu-Hashima station. Another stupid thing was that we alighted the tour bus to take the train to next station where we would wait for our tour bus to catch up with us. Miraculously, we din have to wait for more 5 min. hm... think it was due to the waiting time.
on xiao qiang.
...
infrastructure in singapore.. with neon lighting.
