Wheeeeee....... Had a great weekend........
Met up with Elaine for the service and got to know yet another Serene...... Bahhhh...... Its like the 29,234,823 Serene Ive got to know or something........ Kekekekke......... Chilled the entire afternoon together bumming at Starbucks and aimless walking........ Due to Elaine, we couldnt really watch X-Men...... Wanna catch something in PictureHouse but the time against us with a vengence........

Afterwhich, Elaine and myself splitted up from Serene as she went piggy visiting and we went to NJC's choir concert over at ACS B to support Nat........ Bahhhh....... We felt really outta place in the auditorium as the audiences made up mainly from the NJ students and TKGS students....... Sigh~~~ Im some old freak.......

Anyway Cantabile XX kinda cool......

Cantabile:

Etymology
Borrowed from Italian cantabile meaning "singable, capable of singing", derived from "cantare", meaning "to sing."

Adverb
cantabile
(music): An indication that denotes that the piece should be played in a singing matter, as if the piece were vocalized. Singingly.

Cantabile; the name of the concert...... The choir from NJ really good...... Not that Ive seen alot of choir performances....... But my raw ears seems to proclaim the music of the night good food for the soul....... Its good..... Really good at least for me........ I especially like Essassa, Janger and Pasigin........

Im kinda pro pacific region kinda folk songs....... Japanese, Indonesian and Philipines folksongs....... Its really cool....... The folksongs' tune more upbeat and gave me a sense of "Might"...... Janger especially....... Coupled with the dance, it seems like the warriors are giving themselves a dance to beef their mental states to prep them with the slaying tomorrow......

Main purpose there was to support Nat for her alumni performance....... Gave my moral support to Tim, Lucas and Shaoru as well....... We tried to get Nat some honey sticks but we couldnt find them anywhere in Cine....... Bahhh........

Went to chill at Liquid Kitchen after the concert....... Its nice...... Great company...... Cranky kinda peepz there........ Lol...... Had a great time with them....... Hailed a cab back and slept till dawn.........

Church Camp in T -3 Days....... Wheeeeee........

Writing this entry in a tipsy kinda prose........ 3 bottles of wine and some cans of Kilkenny to boot........ Its 3.02am and I just got back from a day of chilling out with some of my best friends I ever known in SMU........

The Fab Five of course......

Had a Mahjong session with LN, Edmund and Anna after my uneventful stint in the camp.......... Afterwhich we ate dinner at Crystal Jade when Jiahui came........... Yummy food hur hur.........

Went Timbre to chill and had a little too much to drink for everyone.......... Normally I would be the most sober of them all but I still felt a droning feeling tonight........ It was a great time spent with them and a catch up session on whatever life has install for them.........

This entry is especially dedicated to my Bro; LN..........

Hell, I dont even know whether you read my blog but all I wanna say is that I will always be there for ya yeah........ A drinking partner, a confidente, a pal........... You can always come to us or me when in neeed....... You will be darn sure that we will always be there for ya.......... :)

I know you will get through this difficult phase......... Just chill and things will get better........ :)

Cheerios peepz.........
Hope you have a great weekend...........

Completed "Absolute Power"........... Not the best of endings......... Rather straightforward........ Though its still quite a good read I would comment..........

7.5/10.........

Completed "Blink" as well........ One helluva book........ Its almost like attending MPW classes once again with all the interesting experiments........ Im already salivating for "Tipping Point" as many had told me that the predecessor is much better........ Cool with a capital 'C'........ Go get "Blink" if you are interested in social phycology........... Gives you a good idea of how your unconscious mind works and its very readable......... Blink blink..........

8.5/10..........

The link below is also an experiment mentioned in "Blink"......

I have started on "Velocity" by Dean Koontz........ My first book by Koontz........ He have got rave reviews and Im drawn to that........ His works belong to my genre and Ive decided to check him out....... Will update once I got more of him...........

I realise that I feel alot for my books......... I almost feel elated when my books collection grows....... I actually miss them when they are not in my shelf.......... Like my "Da Vinci Code" with Keith, "Deception Point" and "Digital Fotress" with Herman, "The Rule Of Four" with Chloe......... Its been out for a while and it just signals to me that I will need to request for its return.........

Its like collecting stamps or figurines......... Lol......... Admittedly, Im posessive of my books......... Lol...... Its quite difficult for me to part with them to anyone.......... However the trust in my friends still supercedes the queasy feeling within......... :>

There was once when I actually squirmed when I saw my mum packing my books......... Lol....... Stopped her and commanded her to pack it back on my shelf........ Lol....... Its my babies hur hur........

Cool beans........ Now Ive got three pals who are really good with a skill; Photography........ Wei Siong, Alvin and Zhiqin....... Im really impressed with them........ The photos cum the editting work wonders......... Its freaking cool....... Will paste the link to Zhiqin's gallery........ Take a look at it........ :)

Blogging in the dark........... Everyone deep in their sleep already......... Typing in the dark always seems like treading in uncharted waters.......... You never know where you landed up........

Life pretty mundane but Im not complaining....... Stress free life where work stops after 5....... But Im still pretty much a school person....... Rushing assignments and projects even till the wee hours still begets joy and laughter.........

The thought of bumming away this summer always appeal to me whenever I know that Im gonna drag my arse out of bed every morning in which I rise earlier than the sun....... Hahaha...... Lucky me theres always time for napping in camp......... :P

So all in all the equilibrium of sleeping hours still maintain pretty much the same as peepz who are bumming this summer........

Some updates on "Absolute Power"....... Luther died....... Gosh...... The book jacket imprinted him on it and he die 3/4 through the plot....... I thought he will be the hero to pit against Alan Richmond........ He seems the ideal guy....... But I guess David Baldacci wont use him as he cant be romantically link to anyone and the romance aspect of the novel will come undone........ Lol....... Reaching the last leg of this book before I moved on to "Blink".......

Alright, alright....... I know Im pretty slow to even start reading "Blink" now........ But better than never........ Will critique "Absolute Power" when Im done....... :P

Im kinda hooked to DOTA recently....... But its really fun....... Hook seems rather mild in my case....... Its pretty much between Addictive and Compulsive.......... Lol...... But if I dont play now, I wont get to play when school kicks in once again in August....... So its justified hur hur.........

This entry kinda like blabbering gibberish.......... :P
But im in the mood for nonsense........ Kekeke....... :P
Ciaoz peepz....... Got a boat to catch in a few hours time.........

Yesterday was quite nice........ Had a great dinner with the Ambassadors....... The turnout wasnt that great but it was cosy........ Thanks Reuben for the lift....... :)

I have just barely enlisted and my ORD mood is already here....... Its bad........ Theres some situation in camp......... Certain things I could not fathom what this new guy thinking about....... Just kinda dislike his way of speaking and working......... Bahhhh........

Laze around the entire day........ Sleeping it through......... To compensate what I missed yesterday.........

"Absolute Power" came to a standstill........ Haven been reading as much which come as a surprise because of the amount of leisure time I have........ Bahhhh.......

Two major applications on the way......... Really really really wish,hope and pray that I got both........ One in which Im confident of and the other not that so.......

Back again......... Wheeeeeee........
Life been rather good........

As stated on my previous entry, I shall give some update on my Army life now....... Posted to CCO Office as an Administrative Spec........ Felt rather sore at first when I didnt get the Instructor posting I yearn for....... Until I knew what I was in for.........

Theres work only in the morning and the late afternoon when theres some units booking in and out........ In between, Im prolly gaming, napping, chatting or eating.......... And I get to book out everyday which suits me fine as I need to clear my school admin matters in the evening.......

Army life has never been so fine........ :P

Just came back from the Ambassador Retreat at NACLI........ Its a really beautiful place........ Will photo blogged once I lay my hands on them....... Got to know some other Ambassadors really well...... I prolly got along best with Reuben, Lynette, Elle, Jiamin, Wen Yun, Naresh and several others....... I think the peepz in the corp are some of the most impressive and prolific students in SMU....... Anyway, the retreat had been great....... Its fun as well........ The only drawback was the lack of sleep........

"Absolute Power" kinda nice...... Halfway through......... Think the action gonna start really soon........

Gonna play some DOTA games before tucking in for bed......... Cheerios.......
