Thank You Lord

1) For sending great friends like Wendy, Sam, and Mel to encourage me with humour, jokes, or just their words, during this stressful period.
2) For helping me to finish my essay with time to spare, and the confidence to boot when writing.
3) For this great day.
4) For life, air, water: neccessities not to be taken for granted.

Thank You, Lord.

You know you need sleep when…

You know you need sleep when…

1. you wrote the number for this first point as “2.”.

2. you spell “political” as “policital”. (I did it again while typing the correct spelling out.)

3. you can’t find your phone that’s right in front of you.

4. you forget decisions you made 2 minutes ago, and ask yourself the same questions.

5. work comes in.

6. more work comes in.

7. you realise that the amount of work that comes in is inversely proportional to the amount of sleep you’ll get, but only after you’re halfway through the work.
In other words, taking w to be the amount of work, and s hrs. to be amount of sleep,

s = 1/w.

8. you can think up of stupid equations like the one above in point number 7, but can’t seem to find enough substance for your written paper.

9. your posts are super spaced-out, because you can’t read posts that are close together.

10. you find yourself thinking “I should just sleep”.

I should just sleep.

Photoblog?

This place is fast becoming a photo-blog, especially since I have not much of time to actually write my posts out.

I’ll post all the 24th Nov event photos together, as a blog post. Meanwhile…

Block 333.

My friend, Melody.

The chapel, before the movie marathon starts.

Getsomephotos.

Hello, I decided to be a blogger and update my blog.

Being the kind of person that doesn’t really like to blog about day to day activities, I’ll post some interesting photos. Let the pictures speak.

Just Another.

Back for another update. This is what’s been on my mind lately.

1. Burger King price hikes.
The burger’s the same, the fries and drink smaller, the service (at least, my cashier) slower, and the price higher. What’s going on? At $6.40 per meal, with a smaller drink and fries compared to the previous size, it’s looking quite absurd. I wonder what’s going on.

2. Musical Chalet
It was something I was looking forward to, that is, till I found out about the dates. Proposed date 1 was still feasible, as I could sort of rush down after school. Proposed date 2 was worse. I had school the next day at 8.

Well, we’ll see how things work out.

3. Photography
I’ve been having quite a fair bit of fun with my new toy. For some of what my new toy can do, please do visit

and have a look at the first page. All the photos till the one titled “Lightspeed” are new.

That’s it for now. I’m gonna go catch some winks.

Numeric Index Method Of Blogging.

The Numeric Index Method Of Blogging (NIMOB) is a easy, no-fuss, logical, numeric way of blogging. It’s easy on the writer and (hopefully) the reader. Enjoy.

1. Quizzes.
I figured, with all the quizzes going on around, it was only a matter of time before I would be volunteered (read ‘kena arrow’) to do one. Lo and behold, tonight I had one. Just for the record, Jan made me do it.

One. Think of 15 short bits of interesting stuff about yourself. And they’ve gotta be true.
Two. Come up with 5 false statements regarding yourself, but for fun’s sake keep them in the threshold of believability.
Three. Jumble them all up together and list them in any order.
Four. Post them on your blog and let people guess which the five false ones are!
Five. Get 5 others to do the same.
1. I am a drummer.
2. I love apples (both IT and fruit).
3. I enjoy playing soccer.
4. I enjoy photography.
5. I love listening to all kinds of music.
6. My best friend was born in a manger.
7. I started learning the drums in late Primary 6, from a classmate.
8. I have 2 camera bodies and 2 lenses, of which both cameras are made by Canon, but only one lens is made by Canon.
9. Janice made me do this quiz.
10. I am currently taking a Diploma in Film, Sound, and Video in NYP.
11. I own a 4th Generation iPod 20GB.
12. I could have been watching Criminal Minds, but I ended up working, and eventually doing this quiz.
13. My most-used phrase on MSN is “haha okay”.
14. I do not own a video camera.
15. I bought Dashboard’s new album, “Dusk and Summer”. I did not rip or download it.
16. I am in front of my Mac doing this now (wah piang, giveaway lor.)
17. I have school tomorrow (Wednesday).
18. I watch an average of 3 films per week in school.
19. I am serving in CAMY (Creative Arts Ministry for Youth).
20. I am a Canongrapher.

five people to do this too:
Feng Yuan.
Jumana.
Wendy.
Hannah.
Sam.

okay, the five false statements are
5. Not all kinds. I dislike Techno.
7. I started learning drums late Secondary 1 from a classmate.
10. I take a Diploma in FSV in NP, not NYP.
13. That’s not my phrase. It’s someone else’s
18. I watch an average of 2 films, not 3.

2. Photography
Do check out my updated photos on Flickr. I haven’t updated awhile so I decided to add some new photos. Enjoy.

3. There is no number three for today.
Good day, or night, or whatever.

The road is now a sudden sea.

Updates, they are essential to existence of my blog. Without updates, my blog would cease to perform its sole purpose: to display updates of my life.

1. I finally bought Dusk And Summer
Finally! A cheap(er) Dashboard Confessional album. A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar was thoroughly overpriced. At $15.95 for Dusk And Summer, it’s a real bargain. The songs are good. They sound more mature. I feel it’s a good buy.

2. The musical blog has finally stabilised.
After a few days of tweaking, adding pages and customising the sidebar, it’s finally looking the finished product I envisioned. Although somewhat dull(er) and more boring than the more happening Blogger skins, this design is designed (no pun intended) to be clean, simple and neat. Hopefully when the posts start coming in, it won’t look so bare.

For those who are still clueless, the musical blog is located here.

3. There comes a time when…
There comes a time, when a learning experience swiftly and uglily morphs into a tormenting, torturous journey. Sure, it’s fine and dandy to let your son learn about saving money, and the value of the same, but don’t you think it’s a little steep? I mean, I am trying all I can, finding freelance wedding shoots and saving and scrimping what I don’t spend every week, and yet, it’s taking (freaking) AGES.

A.
G.
E.
S.
(Read many months, and possibly years.) Even the saving is starting to make me a little sick.

4. It’s November 5th!
Remember, remember, the fifth of november.
The gunpowder treason and plot.

5. (I nearly typed “5th” instead.) I was never good at goodbyes.
There are so many things wrong with the word “goodbye”. It’s really no good saying “goodbye” because to part, in most instances, is essentially not a good thing. Why then, is the “good” present in the word “goodbye”?

Perhaps it is a condensed word, combining “good luck” with “bye bye”. Even if it isn’t so, I’d rather it be this way, then it mean any other thing. Just a random thought that came to me today.

6. I’ve been thinking about this lately.
First train of thought: You don’t know/appreciate what you have till you lose it.
Second train of thought: Why does the above occur?

The first train of thought is quite true, not in every case, but often enough to notice. The problem is not with the former but the latter train of thought. Why on earth does it happen? Does it take that serious a wake-up call to learn to appreciate? What would the purpose of such a wake-up call be, if you already lose that thing/person?

My point of view is this: if you lose a person/thing and only then, learn to love and appreciate the person/thing, then there is no point in the above happening. Let’s say for example you have an iPod. You take for granted it’ll be there at your bedside in the morning when you wake up, and in your bag when you travel to and from work/school. One day, you lose it in school. Only then do you realise how important the iPod was to you. Isn’t it too late? Even if you do realise, is there any bringing it back? No, there isn’t.

I say all this because a friend, who I was once closer to, is no longer as close to me as this individual used to be. Only now do I realise the value of this friend, but it’s too late. Too late.

“You’re calling too late
Too late to be gracious
You do not warrant long goodbyes
You’re calling too late
You’re calling too late
You’re calling too late…”
