i'm neglecting my blog

sorry for the stagnation of my blog entries, been abit held up with life, family, schoolwork and maybe a bit of human nature to be lazy plus all those all-time popular excuses.

however since my sch work do require me to blog abt my communications life, you can take a look and comment on my wordpress blog.

Thank you.

Yu Jun/ ONg LAi

ouch.

Harlow!

gonna keep this post real short using point form.

• i strained my back due to a very ambitious aim of 12 times on(technically under) the 30kg barbell.
• i haven done my comms blog for this week, thinking of what to write, no inspiration due to the next post.
• ACCOUNTING MID-TERMS IS AT NIGHT TOMORROW NIGHT! afraid that the morning person me won't do well (on top of me being so blur with accounting).
• a few days back, Perry is named 'strawberry' by me!! start calling him that ya? and i found out he is sensible in a way or two. *wowwww*
• Chiong-ing UGC project tmr after the acctg mid-term. procrastinator yu jun hasn't done any research yet. -.-
• i'm sore, but then i can't be sorry for myself.
• you might be thinking, "wa, he has a mid-term tmr, at this time still dun sleep here to blog, seow one." --- well, i dunno why i had the sudden urge to blog as well, maybe i am emotionally(majority fear and anxiety) challenged. who knows?
• so gonna get some rest now.
• Night!

YuJun.

a translation of a Chinese quote from Danny Ho Kar Wai, "my love for you is meant for you to be the sole audience, not for others to regard it as a performance." oh well, so true.

school life rocks.

harlow pple!

in the midst of boring school life going abt, i'm here to share a video with you guys (and gals).


*credits to belson for the link

hmm, although school life is mundane and boring to a certain extend, it seem to especially entertaining today. well, i have the funny videos like the one above to entertain myself, and it is a distraction that i truly enjoy, while forgetting the pent-up and mixed feelings of NS. hmm, i would like to serve the country and enjoy the 2 years of hardship and enjoyment with a bunch of other strangers as a typical Singaporean, however, i realised today that there are certain things i can't let go now. (it sounds like i am dead and can't leave my family and loads of other 'important' stuff right now, hahas for that).

hmm, a few things i can't let go.

1) my studies: i'm kinda worried that my brain might turn even more retard after almost 2 years without touching the syllabus and books. on a brighter tone, my thinking will be more matured and one day get really really good grades. (as if that will happen -.- , i keep telling myself)

2) ZingO performances: well, there's like 3 major breakthrough performances this year, and if i get enlisted too early this year, then i might actually have to miss 2 of these performance. on top of the glory and sense of achievement that i might get from these performances, i actually have a more tangible motivation for the desire to perform at these performances. i want to do these major performances with my "drum cum scouts mates" A.K.A 12 zodiacs(actually 10 left in the performing crew). erm, i might be thinking too much and overestimating my existence in ZingO, but then i see it in a way that the performing crew is shorthanded and the substitutes(if there is) may not be so 'gumm'(on the same frequencies/easy to work with) compared to me. i want to perform for them, and perform for ZingO.

3) ZingO manpower,the time is not ripe yet: just heard from teck wee that Xjw and Djw will be out of NS in March and June next year. so i want to pull through this year so as long to pass YYSS, all the other duties to the right people to do the job, since most of us ZingO pple are near to maximum mobilisation, without teck we,, edvwin, and Zi Ming having to study yet.

yea, that's pretty much of me, looking myself in a light greater than it actually is, overestimating my self-worth. well, idols of the tribe. everyone does that at some points of their lives and this is one of mine.

ok, got to blog at my other blog that is part of the requirement of my Communication course.

till next time then.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Harlow!

haven been touching my blog for sometime, sorry abt that. when you are busy with the same few stuff that doesn't require you to use the computer cum Internet, you kinda forget that you have a laptop with good connection at home and you neglect your blog and so on so forth. but that won't happen for maybe until April. well, at least i think and hope i have time for both of my blogs, since i have to create a blog on wordpress for my new course, COM101's assignment, and that is to have a communication blog. well, i will come back to the communication blog again later.

from the last post, 5th Jan, til now, more or less 2 weeks, i have been doing 3 main activities; running as a form of exercise, working for my dad and lastly sleeping when i have the time. occasionally, i would go shopping for my new year clothes and maybe help out at a few (the third by tomorrow) CCA orientations at the various schools with festive drums. well, that's kinda boring but then i guess that's pretty much of my holidays. yea, so if you were interested with my holiday life, that's pretty much it.

today is the first day of school , well, i met with 3 of my lecturers and i can say they are pretty different from the previous lecturers, but then, who is completely in this world. out of the 3, 2 of them are from the States and for some weird reasons, maybe they practised hypnotism or really good at monotone speaking, the class environment was kinda like a graveyard with the only priest holding the ceremony, reading the names out from a list. on the perspective that i like quiet studying environment, i might survive the grave studying atmosphere after all. haha.

went to Vivo to get my CNY shopping done, now left with only the shoes. well, gonna get a cheap pair from the nearest BATA store or some lace like that. well, it's not me to get a pair of $100++ leather shoe that i am gg to crack it and soil it with dirt. maybe not now when my income is my allowance. hmm, i spent a lot already, hence, closing the shopping spreed soon.

ok, i'm pretty much tired with everything today, so sleep time. *haha, no school tmr, but then need to get started with my readings anyway. so tmr is gonna be running/working-out and reading day!!

Harlow!

this pic, is what happens when you and your sister start to play some childhood(childish) games. remember those bubbles you blow, from a tube, and it won't burst to touch, and you smash it into others face when you are done blowing? yea, that's more of less what is over my head!! for a moment, i felt like the bubble head.

anyway, my muscles are aching still from the weekend training, hopefully, i am maintain this training routine. try my best lar. Sat's training was the start of many things, it was the start of Jan, start of ZingO membership fee collection (you peeps, better bring the money on sat), start of attendance taking, start of Danny's ZingO path and the start of the 6 hour ZingO weekly training. hmm, great start for us heh? haha.

training was like, tough? long hours and physically and mentally demanding. but got to tell myself 4 words and it will be all okay sooner or later, "get used to it." this might be the best advice ever, or the worst. haha.

highlight of the day was the Japanese drum group that performed on the same stage with CCHY. woohoo, the spirit and aura of theirs truly stuns the audience. awesome job, just got to remember their impact on me the next time i go for any performance.

to end off this post, just wanna say that as a friend, being ranked after a gal feels lousy.either that, or i am just thinking too much, hoping too much. nvm that. it's most probably me, and i got to change.

ONg LAi

ps, happy birthday puiyee!

woohoo! new year!

harlow! (using a different opening to mark the new year.)

blogging on the 1st of JAN, which marks my blog's 1st birthday. haha, to think that Nas is 18th already and 2 more days till PY turns 18 years old as well. haha, amazing isn't it, pple call it growing up. poops, all the bubbles of memorable teenage years are gonna float away and then come life. but then there's the other extreme end of birthdays ,those who just turned 17th. well, live life to the fullest,cause time changes everything.

yesterday is the last day of the year 2007, and countdown at Zhen's place isn't really your roller-coaster ride kind of exciting but at least it felt warm. it was just a simple chit chat, playing cards (damn hong yew for winning 'dai dee' EIGHT rounds in a row, until kai xin stopped his lucky streak) and looking at the computer screen for the 10 sec countdown. noting here that Zhen got a fabulous room with the best sound system i ever heard. boopers, i'm kinda envious, next time go steal. haha. joking.

then i was reflecting on the 'special' new year eve. hmm, was questioning myself throughout the evening; why is it that we make such a fuss over this day and behave differently from how we would normally. enjoyment? or rather is it to run away from the 'serious' work we faced during the entire last year? to sum up this syndrome, can i call it festive mood? everyone is happy abt festive mood, i should, but then i only had one foot beyond the line separating normal and festive mood. hmm, maybe i need a pull from the other self,seeing how couples behave.HAH. from my cousin in law, "for two pple to be together is hard due to different upbringing. for two families to be together, that harder." ok, that was random.

this festive mood arise expectation, expecting your other half to ask you out, your friends to countdown with you, your expectation to see the fireworks while being squeezed as well as squeezing others and the expectation of not returning home so early, but you still did. who sets the time as late you think?

haha, great expectation for year 2008!! woohoo. off to work already.

bye bye.

ONg LAi

ps: i'm guessing this post sounds feminine right? whose the benchmark then? comments really disturbs.

ironic approach.

YO PPle!!

this is really ironic, cause you are seeing me posting after my previous post last night saying that "i will be getting busy(lazy)."

kns. *pls note, if you are not 3 years old and above or not ready for a sicky person complaining abt his life problem-cum-frustrations that cannot be changed/improved/altered, pls stop reading.

and today, waking up is another ironic approach by my mom and dad. erm, i went to sleep early to rest, to skip swimming with edvwin, belson and chun ann, and to get better hopefully, but they started rattling at me around 6am. wth. what happened to the "oh, you are sick, rest(sleep) well, and get well soon!" kinda of attitude you use to treat sick pple, especially me who is sick for one bloody week? oh, mom and dad didn't notice(as usual), fine then. *headache now, which is making me very quick tempered* And now i got to tend the shop, which is not really tough, air-conditioned environment, and fake smiling at all the customers(some are really up in your ass.) ouch, my head.

on top of the busy SUNDAY day, my beloved sister is not here currently, carrying out a workshop for the purposes of meeting one of her long-time-no-see volunteer tuition teacher and earn money when the shop(s) are shorthanded. wait a minute! the shop is always shorthanded, that's why most of my holidays revolve around this farm, that the shops are located, that pays for my school fees, my food, my bills and ensure i look like a normal person on the outside. hmm, can't complain abt this, but wondering why my mum and dad are maintain this low labour cost management style, family style. oops, i said it out already. grr.

on a side note, hend have to 'disturb' me now, just scolded him. ***k off!!! (kwx)

then CMPB smsed me to remind me that i haven completely NS registration.. oh my, it's so complex and tedious. more things added to my Headache. woa, now it has evolved to Splitting Headache. not good -.- i still got a few more section to fill up before 9 of Jan, ok, wishing myself good luck here. NS is not bad right? all the fun(and punishment) can get in the short 22 months with lots of presumably straight men (cause when you fill up the pre-enlistment form, under the medical section, they ask if you have any social problems, e.g. homosexuality) and do a lot of activities together, learn new stuff, live life like never before, blow up some earth and kill some target boards, become female-thirsty in the off balanced yin-yang environment and turn vulgar.

oh my, i rattle so much that my Splitting Headache is getting constant, the part of the graph that you see when all the reactants has reacted and reached maximum status. wondering if my nose will start flushing out bloody mucus again. but the good thing is that my cough is gone (pls dun come back for the next 6 months), my nose is cleared with little amount of fluids flowing out still, i want NEED sleep!

oh my, this time, it would be good for my sister to arrive at the shop and says she will take over my duties from now so i can go rest. -.- my big fat hope. and now there's a uncle in the shop, sitting within 1meter radius of me and speaking loudly over the phone and seriously, messing with my metal processes and making my blood throb harder.

*complains and complains*

and since i think i will be busy(really busy, not lazy) tmr, let's say something for next year.

year 2008!

self: starve your self at school, especially MegaBites food, cause the food does not worth the money, buy a bottle of 1.5L water from Ngee Ann's Cheers and survive on that. exercise more, get lean to attract more girls. enjoy better company. grow taller still. feed myself less.

other self: try to lower standards, try even harder to forget about the past, erase the moral values settled in since young, turn into a jerk/playboy and fall into love recklessly. basically, turn into a flirt, if i got the minimum requirements to do that.. haha, take this paragraph with a pinch of salt.

Studies: while starving self, study for a better grades. the quality of the grades now is sure gonna waste the school fees i am paying right now. make more smart friends, practice more if i have to, live no life, live school life while in school. study from 0700hrs to 1900hrs. pinch of sugar this time. but the truth is A-,B+,B,B,B- is really not good enough.

ZingO: dot dot dot. thinking thru Edvwin's words right. if true, then should all slow learners just pick up a piece of rock and hit themselves in the head until they are dead? even as someone not very religious,i would say that the supreme forces have created pple equally in my point of view, strengths and limitations are equally spread out, the only thing different is time, that's why we do not have the ability of manipulate time. all i wanna say is hang on there, whatever comes, take in in our strive and with a little self conscious, we will pull thru and become the best of best friends til we die. just have to pull things together. why, cause we are part of 不一样的 Boy Band. lol.
and i want more quality pple to join, not pple who just come and quit halfway, pple who can pull thru challenges with us. and want better works. simple wish, but enormous efforts needed to achieve.

for Singapore: pls increase the POSE bank interest rates of about 0.5% to match the very high inflation of abt 3.7% or 3.9% to ensure that your pple get adequate real money to live life properly and not by doing all other not as effective approaches like giving GST offset package to artificially stimulate the economy.it does not work, pple just spend the lump sum away on luxurious items and then cry and swear at the inflation. ok maybe it works to artificially stimulate the economy but it does not help with the inflation much.

for Asia: become a more powerful region than the UK. haha, first get rid of corruption.

for the US: sign the Kyoto Protocol!

for the world: greater efforts to save Earth and those huge magically powerful trees.

ok, me with 3 hours of blogging is getting restless in my sick state.

thanks for reading and thanks for the concern.

ONg LAi
limewire for Santa Vic today.

busy

yo pple,

keeping this real short before i go knock myself out to get soem more sleep.

the new year is coming soon, which means i will be getting more busy(lazy). so dun be surprised if i dun blog as much.. haha.

thank you.

YuJun.

merry X'mas

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

for the past week and especially the recent days, my life revolved around one word, tired.

been trying to run daily, go see performance, BBQ overnight, man, it has taken a toll on me. highest temperature today was 37.6 degree Celsius plus sneezed and coughed out bloody mucus. lethargic feelings all over. physically worn out.

however, all of the busy schedule was worth it. well, apparently the company compensated for the low physical-stability levels. lots of things happened, then lazy to go into the details right now, due to the block nose and sore throat. hmm, personally, just have to remember that i felt like it was the good old CCHY/CCHB days again. thanks to xjw.

rest is essential to repair my body.

ho ho ho ho..

ONg LAi

gg to change blogskin soon. after x'mas.

merry X'mas

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Mixed up feelnigs

yo pple,

keeping it short by point form.

• got my first NS letter, asking me to register with online.
• then after much trial and error, finally got it right.
• babies have an wonderful power, to make you forget the distressing impacts of the letter.
• then the living prove cum 17year old friends are not helping much with the hopes in getting a deferment.
• tried to get deferment, but then dunno how to carry on when ask "level of education?", there are no options that goes "Private degree".
• going to bombard Ann Sum, my much beloved (especially at this time) course administrator tmr morning,or afternoon.
• ok, off to watch anime.
• Hend, i hope you are right.
• And last but not least, Santa, i want 7 semesters deferment for this X'mas, if it's too hard, i am willing to get the deferment in instalments of 3 semester for annually. lol

YuJun/ONg LAi

the mixed (and pent) up feelings of embracing NS. "santa, i want deferment, pls"

not right.

yo pple, it's late already, so gonna keep it short.

today is an depressing day.. it started out well with a very enjoyable session of PT, but then the afternoon, after my evaluation in the evening, wasn't as great as i expected it would be.

after viewing "how to get a full body cramp" demonstration by wei ling, and saw the i-just-woke-up-and-live-life-without-me-first side of shi xiong, went to AMK hub for planned, much expected K-box session.

it seems that expectation is the cornerstone to great disappointment, then the cliche phrase comes to mind, the harder you climb, the harder you fall.

K-box is not as enjoyable as the previous session. haiz, not on form today, wo ke yi and wo huai nian de, is disastrous. omFg. what went wrong?

the company, because tony wasn't there? possible, since Janice feels that her singing is lousier than usual. or is it with the training in the morning?

enough of looking at external attributes, what abt internal attributes? my voice, getting worse? i feel that my vocal range is getting narrower, on top of that, it is harder to sing the more emotional songs.. hmm, hav i lost my touch?

in summary, money wasted by bad singing plus shame upon self.

then watch the movie, 'warlords' or something like that (sorry for the causal-ness, focused on the movie but not the title.)

it's a good show, worthy of it's 4.5 out of 5 rating. if you dun mind or even like abit gore, it's a great film. but felt so tired watching the show, very mentally stressful. and physically exhausted by the training in the morning.

*yawns*

tired already, sleep time.

yu jun.

on a side not, some new things i learnt from some pple.

ruo han has a new camera

tracy is close to que

wei ling is akin to a sea monkey in training but a shy cheeky monkey in the midst of
fun.
