fire Fire FIre FIRe FIRE!

YO pPLE!

it's the mid autumn festival! well, the actual day was yesterday, 25th sept, which is also Edvwin's, Li Wen's and Ren Jie's birthday. happy birthday to them!

then the mid autumn festival celebrations started for me on Sunday le. ok, let's go thru it in chronological order.

Saturday:

well. as you guys may or may not know, i was kinda pissed by the events during practice. but then i only got to know yesterday that there was another frustrating event. CLIQUE !19 WENT TO k-BOX WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME!! ROAR(like what Kaii Xin would do). haiz, after complaining numerous times yesterday, i am ok today, cause i know that i can't go cause got work. but then they left me out. haiz.

Sunday:

went to work for my dad on Sunday, then worked til 5pm and left to meet 4F'06 peeps for the first mid autumn celebrations afger rushing home to get tony's porno(giggles). hearing from ruo han on Saturday night, it was supposed to be a lantern burning session at sembawang park de. however, at around 6pm on that day, there was a last minute change of plans. A BARBECUE!

so the adrenaline flow started. BBQ means food and then i went to buy the stuff at cold storage. bought the marinated chicken, some sort of bread,2 bottle of tea, white bread, plates, utensils and the highlight of the day was..(drums roll).. 1 bottle of sparkling juice and 1 bottle of 6% alcohol content peach drink. well, the whole purchase cost me a big part of my allowance but then for me, the money was well spent for a BBQ with my friends.

while i bought some of the stuff, the other party (mei fong, elvina ah yi, ruo han, marc, Charmaine and tony) bought the other stuff. the bought the charcoal, wire gauze, butter, frozen food to fry at Lionel's house, lots of candles and mor\e importantly the fully utilized BBQ tools consisting of a tong, spatula, butter brush and a fork, all wooden handled, at only $1 for the set. damn cool sia.

meeting them was kinda old school for me, like going back to secondary school, those times we would devote a lot into chalet and outings. haha. then the fire started and the chicken tasted not bad. approaching 9pm, we opened the sparkling juice and alcohol. well, the latter tasted a little mild and less flavourful than the sparkling juice.

after drinking, Lionel made some comments. 1) "ONg LAi, you should go study at shatec and learn how to cook."[but it was only because the chicken was easy to cook.the chicken was pre-marinated and i just grilled it.] 2)"ONg LAi, you seem to have slimmed down" [wait wait, heard the third comment first] 3)"must be the effects of the alcohol". oh well, now i know he gets drunk over 6%. -.-

after the food was consumed, it was candles and sparkles time and mei fong was the SM-ing tony after ruo han provoking mei fong!! and ruo han was trying to built his rocket which didn't succeed i think. the rest was playing with the sparkles and contaminating the food. anyway it was fun, but more fun when they tried to create the bonfire.

we set the can over the leftover charcoal and started melting th candles and so and so until the wax is hot enough. then it was the spitting time, our spit was not strong enough so the bottles of tea came into the picture. as commented by the butt face, i can piss with my mouth(if you get what i mean). then the fire started burning strongly and the whistling sparkles was added to the fire and attracted the nearby residents.

on the threat of being arrested by the police because of the bonfire, we pack up and left after a cold water bomb fight. brrr.

oh ya, i said good bye to Mervin in a special manner, sry if i did touch the stuff i didn't want to touch. it is so as you struggled. haha.

Tuesday.

at 5.30pm, i just rmbed that there was an clique outing to sembawang park. so i smsed sarah to confirm it. well she sound pissed but not so really and told me they was meeting at 6pm. well, i knew i was gg to be late and called pui yee and so puiyee, me and charis met at puiyee's house and met up with the clique. tried to set up the bon fire but i reckon the fuel not strong enough. so just created alot of smelly smoke. then we played with the candles and sparkles til 10 plus before going home. tired already. and mao had to play the song 'ai wo hai shi ta' by tao tse.

so that's about the mid autumn festival celebrations.

got to set serious with studying and research papers and such.

i am writing in such details only to rmb that all these happened.

sry if you find it un-friendly to read.

ONg LAi

well, have you treated me as a friend seriously, rather than a tool? my self proclaimed friend.

mentally exhastion

Yo PPLe!


first and foremost. A very Big Thank You to Ruo Han and Tony for the games and songs respectively.

secondly, i shall let Ruo Han do the ZingO Weekly while i do my own PLC of some sort.

slept late yesterday at 1 am plus to do my online assignments based on simple calculus. should just let us do the test in class instead. anyway, CCHY today is less filed with pple as all the CCAs have been temporary suspended due to the exams.

ZingO have an slight revival of man power today, the "haven come in a long time" pple includes Neo, Charmaine, Da Jun Wen, Da Vincent"hah-chufuck" (sry lar, keep sneezing today). however the last two names didn't appear for practice but for a meeting that i gladly skipped before i let my sarcasm loose from my mentally exhausted mind to my mouth into words.

oh not forgetting to mention, Sia Seh Seh, the newly bought Zingo member who is in my possession and greatly missed by Ruo Han.

waiting for 2 more weeks or so. for teck wee, Edvwin, Zi Ming and the Fu Hua drummers to join back the group from their temporary leave to mug for their O levels. must jia you hor these pple.

oops, turing Singlish.

Today's practice is generally ok, the score and performers for the Oriental Lunch conference is set and ready to go. On top of that, Tony's and supposedly my score is making some progression. well, it was supposedly partially my score as a result of the actions i spent time to think and seems to impress tony only. however, i do not and will not acknowledge that it is even partially my score because i "can't even play the actions [i] compose, noob ar, OUT!". well that explains everything for those who actually can relate to what i am referring to. well. i am NooB am i. for those who are kinda lost, never mind me.

it is depressing to know that even how much you do, without intellectual, you will always be despise.

even i do that. so it is a fact.

ONg LAi

mentally exhaustion rather than physically.

voidness

YO pPLE!

feeling much much better and the digestive system's engineers are back from their holidays. yea, that's good news for them.

then i got waste some time and money at bugis's arcade alongside with ruo han, chunn ann and tony. well, the place is kinda of big and the temperature is ok in there. i played percussion freak and a guitar game, which i forgotten the name le.

anyway, i am super lousy at percussion freak cause of the inborn intellectual of mine. but then the guitar game, i think i can train a bit. HAH.



then after that went to bugis to walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk and walk. walk from bugis junction to bugis street and vice verse vice verse vice verse. ok, plainly, we wandered around bugis to do window shopping.

this strenuous activity apparently worn chun ann out and he started on a series of amusing acts that the other three of us brought it up from time to time during the shopping for entertainment i guess. one example is " SIA SEH SEH" which is the name of my newly bought 30cm manikin(it is a 'he' ok.) the SEH SEH is supposed to be 77th Street and the 77th is pronounced as SEH SEH by chun ann. and one amazing thing!! chun ann can predict prices of the goods in bugis quite well i must say. ruo han and tony can vouch for that.

whoots! but then he made another blunder by scamming me with a 40% sale in one of the shops that sells quality semi formal wear. it was a disappointing scam. i mean when we checked the prices, one shirt is $30 to $50 plus, if the 40% discount is on then it would mean the shirt will be on sale at $10 to $30 plus. BUT THE PRICE IS ALREADY DISCOUNTED. although the price is very much cheaper le, but then we still didn't buy any of the shirts.



thinking back now, it was a big error. well, i went to bugis with shopping feelings brewing from yesterday. then i came back empty handed. void feelings. haiz. think of it as saving money ba. left with not much in the bank already anyway. haha.


ok lar
got to go finish my online assignment.


Yu Jun


still lost who is xiiaoBENDAN, sounds familiar. and i tagged in the cbox?? must be a prank. HAH.

undigested oils

Yo PPLE!

due to the slimming diet, my digestive system is really distorted and slowed down i suppose.

other then rejecting all the food i ate after slight movements like walking and taking a bus, the system is really slow that the food that gets pass the stomach comes very much later and the food is not digested properly.

hearing from Chun Ann, Ruo Han and tony who have their motion as oils, i 'enjoyed' the same experience with a one day delay. the idea of holding "The Prom2016" at the private club is really off since they serve indigestible oils.

EEE

and i am feeling much better already, the appetite is coming back.

and the mental stress from the proflie of shi xiong is relieved.

was having an intelligent conversation with Julie over the topic a moment ago

from 'sometimes.. people act nice when the time comes and u need their help'

to later ' pple acting real nice until you approach them for help, they turn into grouchy pple or make it sound as if they go all the way out to help(positively and negatively)'

and finally 'understanding women in society: the working world ;women. they claim we do not understand them. but do they want to be understood?'

well, it might just turn out to be my research topic i think. haha

and julie, here's my essay i want you and others to read.. haha..

Mature with a childish smile

“Laughter is by definition healthy”, Doris Lessing, female author, once quoted. Well, it makes sense does it not? Laughter is associated with the pink health and when in poor health, a frown, is at the opposing end of laughter. You see smiles more on children’s faces while frowns on adults’ are more frequent. Judging from the expressions on the two parties, it seems that adults are not enjoying life as much as children are. Hence, adults should laugh more similarly to children to enjoy life more, to experience true health, and that is being emotionally, physically and spiritually sound.

According to a report by William Fry, M.D., professor of psychiatry at Stanford University Medical School and expert on health and laughter, a kindergarten student laughs 300 times a day on average. Yet, an adult just laughs only 17 times a day on average. After reading this fact, you might think that children are naive, gullible and ignorant and so they do not know the burdens of adulthood and issues of society, and further more they are sheltered by their parents. However, there is not much of a difference between the environments of the kindergarten kid and the working adult, there are many similarities. Kindergarten children have to face the stresses of school even at such a young and innocent age. They have to face a number of different classmates, and have to listen to their teachers and follow a set of strict rules that really contradicts their behavior of being kids of wreaking fun and havoc. Adults, on the other hand, need to work and they face the complicated challenges of dealing with colleagues at work, impressing and performing for their bosses and abiding by all those protocol and the works rules and regulation. In view of this, what then is the different factor that allows children to return home smiling and telling parents how much they have enjoyed their day even if their day was an ordinary one? Why is it so that adults come home with sulking faces, as if their souls were sucked out of them? The answer is “Laughter”!

Laughter might not be able to cure cancer and other currently incurable diseases or illness directly but it would definitely create a happier atmosphere that allows you to cope with the situation. Laughter has several positive effects on our bodies. Psychologist and doctors concur that laughter can increase our will to live and boost our immune system. It is proven that prolong negative feelings can cause diseases, associated with high blood pressure, strokes, arthritis, and ulcers. These are the diseases adults tend to face. Children on the other hand, are commonly down with fever, cold or other common illnesses, or family hereditary illness, like AIDS and diabetes, often different from the adults’. This certainly shows that laughter can improve the well- being of people and also prevent illnesses.
The average child is better at learning about things happening around them then the normal adults. Psychologists also agree that one reason behind this is that laughter also enhances our learning by stimulating our brains, easing muscle tension and psychological stress, keeping the brain alert and retaining more information. A case study once showed that children from dysfunctional families do not laugh as much as normal kids do, due to the problems they face at home. The case study also showed that they are slow in learning mind and they end up being less well off not only in studies but also in physical and emotional health. The empirical evidence showed that children from dysfunctional families fared much lower and few of them manage to earn a university education.

Laughter also has an effect on our relations with people. Let us re-examine the comparison of the children and the adults; adults have been very careful with their interaction with other people because if they throw their tempers on the people around them, it is often that the other party will bear grudges and the friendship or partnership is over. Even the two parties are matured, the relation will not be able to mend itself to the original state. In contrast, children are very loose with their words and attitude to their peers mainly because of the little effect of their words and actions on the peers. Although it seem childish for children to quarrel and “don’t friend you” each another over an insignificant acts, we must admire their ability to forgive and forget the insignificant incident and befriend each another again the next day, as if that the “don’t friend you” never happened. Laughter has the ability to dissolve tension, stress, anxiety, irritation, anger, grief, and depression and releases pent up emotions. Without the influences of the negative feelings being bottled up in our body, interaction between people will be less restricted and hence more effective to affiliate and connect with others.

Not forgetting to mention, laughter helps to accept the unavoidable and handles the bumps on the rocky roads like powerful shock absorbers of a car. In tough times, laughter is able to ease the tension of the situation and simultaneously with the effects of laughter on our bodies, it would be easier to stay calm and think of a solution. Unknowingly and often overseen, children are able to achieve this without realizing, for example, when being scolded by the teacher, a child will react by pushing the blame to another person. Although the reaction is not advisable and morally inappropriate, the method to handle the situation is correct, thinking of a way out rather than crying which might anger the teacher more. Adults, on the other hand, face problems and take the problem too seriously and tend to drive themselves or others up the wall. Laughter can help in our relations and methods of solving problems and without it would bring about the strain of being angry with another person or the consequences of the problem being left unsolved and perhaps erupt more problems then present already.

Some say that laughter is not the ultimate answer to illnesses and it is not all good. However, such a pessimistic view of life is rather cynical. Carmina, poet, once said that “A day without laughter is a day wasted.” Therefore we should strive to enjoy our life since we only live it once. Laughter may not completely physically cure but it allows the person to cope and research on laughter is positive that it can alleviate the problem.

Adults should learn from the young the ‘art of laughing’ as it helps them to live happier in their stressful work life and they will be more effective in their work. Getting through events in life alongside with laughter to a certain extend would be beneficial to the souls, as laughter absorbs the negative impacts of life and enable us to live more fulfilling lives, understanding what the psalmist said when they said that “you can see the face of God in the face of an innocent child”.

Yu Jun,

hope you enjoyed reading, and for me, off to sleep and dream for ideas for research paper.

slimming life

Yo PPLe!

As a result of a mug of spoilt milk (i think) on Friday morning i started on my diet to slim down.

my stomach seems to be halved cause i can't even finish a bowl of porridge.

the taste of hydration salt is terrifying to me and i think that crushes the appetite for other fluids and food.

so the whole body feels weak with a 3 day slimming life of low food intake and if the food intake is excessive, my gullet will send the food out from the mouth.

on top of that, assignments are on hand and the brain is not really working well.

that's the reason you see me blogging here to get the writing engine started and hope i can finish the profile on shi xiong by today.

yea.

and yesterday, went to Sentosa to perform at a club named "one degree 15".

it's a private club with interior and exterior designs looking very 'class' and obviously very much better than the food they serve.

well, i just can't eat more of the tough fish and chicken after one serving, with my food rejecting stomach (i don't want to puke there and destroy the image of ZingO,which i think i did to Jane). my skill of sarcasm is getting better that i dun realise it at times.

and to think that i was suggesting to tony and ruo han that we hold "The Prom 2016" there. we dropped that idea completely after tasting the food.

HAH

and oh ya, welcoming Marc on his quest to join ZingO. well, he came for practice yesterday and it is said to be the start of his 'probation period'. hope he can do it.

Yu Jun

new skin, hope you like it.
looks kind of feminine, but wat i like abt is it's tint of class to it.

yo pple!

life is getting back on track for me,

i am doing my school work and sort of draining out myself.

and falling into the same situation of being a loner in no group nor clique in SIM right now. used to it. nvm.

erm, in the midst of lots of quizzes and essays to write so won't be blogging as often as in the past.

YJ
so it ends.

ok then.

it once again boils down to communication breakdown.

what a conincidence.

nth

yo pple.

actually, i dun have anything to blog abt. even lazy to upload photos taken over the last week til now.

erm.. then you might be asking why am i blogging. well the answer is that i am a little depressed now. i got 3 quiz to study tmrw and i am now slacking. hah! the perfect receipe for failing to get good results. it is so saddening to see myself in a fat body slacking time off, not doing 'proper' activities to improve the pathetic GPA of 3.5 out of 4! KEEP THIS UP AND YOU WILL NOT BE ON THE DEAN'S LIST NEXT SEMESTER! i will nee to get 3.7 to make the average 3.6,the minimun requirement to be on the dean list.

arr. enough of self-mocking, self-reprimanding, self-motivation.

anyway. happy birthday to kuku. sry i didn't turn up for your birthday celebrations. i wasn't really unable but more of relucant to do so. perhaps it is was too sudden for me. well, i was on my way to school or gg home when chun ann (who sees me like everynow and then) informed me last min. plus the lack of present and having class (class to me is impt and if the cost of pon-ing class ever turns into a oppurnity cost, the reason to pon is very huge and means alot to me you see.)

so like that lar..

bb!

ahah, gg to see anime le. then go sleep.

my life is so wrong.

yu jun

YO PPLE!

it's the weekend le.

time for my weekly blog/website recommendation.

http://unisimmath.sim.edu.sg/index.html

it's a website that you can play with mathematics.

change the variables and you change the graphs.

recommended for pple who dun understand and hate maths.

you can learn gradient and y-intercept just like that.

right now very tired. today got clique outing. but then low energy so next time then post pics ba.

new OST, hope you like. abit too short thou. all 30 seconds. lucky got tony in helping me get the OSt.. HAHA.. THANK YOU TONY FOOK HIU TUNG!!


movie 'Hairspray OST' sample.



NIght!!

ta ma de!

well,

i need to vent my frustrations now. or else, i can't go bath, can't fall asleep and can't decide if i am gg to pon tmrw's practice, i mean today's practice.

well, as a gesture of couresty and friendship (even if asked to go home first), i got all the others to wait for our president[who is pretty much 'gay', emo and self egoistic(very)] at CCHY before heading home and what do you get when you in return for waiting for your beloved president who 'just so happens to be emo at that moment'? A scolding.

it's not fair, is it?

you act aloof in the midst of jokes and laughter( which you may be very much used to from the same pple who has been alongside for soon-to-be 5 years). then if we are too jovial to fit your mood of emo-ness, tell us lar. it's not like we won't shut up if we need the mood to be serious. then wat happens is that we carry on and you got enough of the laughter that contradicts with your emo-ness. and you blow up!

all i am saying is I AM VERY MUCH PISSED!!!

should have drank more just now. then the alcohol effects won't wear off quickly and the pissed feelings comes straight to your brain and heart right now.

maybe if i was drunk i will be irrational and go beat up chun ann. HAH

ok lar getting late.

gg to bath. and shall post the pictures and more info abt teacher's day for this shi_t_y day next time.

Tired and Pissed

YJ

i saw you today, nice hair cut and you should just come and pass me the wrong design shirt yourself. you are the one who is escaping.
