I look up as I walk
So that the tears won't fall
Remembering those those spring days
But I am all alone tonight
I look up as I walk
Counting the stars with tearful eyes
Remembering those summer days
But I am all alone tonight
Happiness lies beyond the clouds
Happiness lies up above the sky
I look up as I walk
So that the tears won't fall
Though the tears well up as I walk
For tonight I'm all alone tonight
Remembering those autumn days
But I am all alone tonight
Sadness lies in the shadow of the stars
Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon
I look up as I walk
So that the tears won't fall
Though the tears well up as I walk
For tonight I'm all alone

Teething problems
Its a hard line to walk. To get the grades, to enjoy hall life, to have fun this 4 years. I'll do my best.
Just feeling f***ing irritated. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Going forward without going back
I really hate it when i want to do something, but i cant because i don't know enough.
For example, planning a timetable with a missing module.
Buying textbooks without knowing what to look out for.
On the bright side, i saw this earlier this month. And its time to SHARE!!!
Now thats MY IDOL.

Orientation
Compiled from notes from the time i didnt have internet access (curses!)
300706- 2245hrs
Have just settled into the hall, with the third wave of moving over and done with. Now im just lacking a few things here and there to settle this room as my home away from home. Sheesh. I didn’t want to, but I brought a lot of stuff over. Good thing my brother was here to help me move over.
The rooms more or less to my liking, with only one thing that really irks me. I STILL can’t connect to the internet. Apparently that will have to wait until my matriculation. DAMN. Somehow, I feel very lonely. Quiet. Like there’s something missing. I think I’ve become an internet junkie. Hooked onto the sweet taste of the gravel of the information superhighway. On the bright side, I’ve still got my music!
Waiting for Tim to move in too. Now Huili, me and tim are in the same block. What are the chances? Haha. I guess Huili did have great pulling power. I wonder if hall life is right for me. See if the activities suit me lah. If it’s all sports and games……. Well. We can see where that goes.
Damn this chair is low. Typing feels uncomfortable at this table. Writing as well. The table is a wee bit too high, the chair a wee bit too low… Maybe I can get used to it. Maybe not.
Went for jamming earlier. Sean, Keong, KH. Spent a lot of time waiting…… But it was fun. Just thrashing around, working our ways to the songs. Need more practice on all sides. Haha. Damn I need to practice too. I might bring my guitar over to hall, but see how. As it is, there isn’t much space to put it.
Somehow I think I missed the pizza and movie night. Couldn’t find it. *chuckle* Maybe it finished early. But I cant seem to bring myself to believe that. At least I managed to unpack to my liking. I need to find the kitchenette or pantry around here. The only communal facility I found was the toilets and the washing area. Apparently washing clothes is free, but drying will cost. That’s not too bad lah. Sun drying usually works.
Somebody please give me an internet connection soon. Im starting to suffer from withdrawal. Aaaaaargh.
010806- 0045hrs
Spent half the day at a useless Engin tea session. I mean, what the fuck man. We’re already in the engineering faculty, spare us the recommendations and details that make the degree soooooo good in the eyes of the world. The elaboration on the different disciplines was ok, but the only real takeaway was the usage of the CORS. And apparently that will be covered in the hall as well. So I pretty much wasted half a day when I could be playing my arse off doing stupid things and acting stupid. (Not my usual acting stupid, but stupid in a garang and enthusiastic way). Bah.
On the bright side, the people here are nice. They’re friendly and are easy to talk to. No problem interacting with the seniors, they’re more than happy to jabber off. Haha. My OG seems to be half foreign. Well, that’s interesting. Not much interaction between though, due to the inability to decipher their accents. Ah well. There’s always time to learn. At least I found a few people doing the same course. Haha. The engin tea session held a lot of meetings with old friends (mostly acquaintances) … Sec Sch, JC, BMT, OCS, unit…… Amazing. I didn’t know I knew that many people.
Orientation… Well. Cheering? Yeah. Mass dance? Yeah. Mass games? Yeah. But most importantly, theres the spirit. Its almost tangible. The pride of the group, the pride of the hall… Its warm. Friendly. And welcomes us with open arms. Those who choose to stay that is.
The Rag is AMAZING. There are no words I can use to describe it. The scope is astounding, the design is visionary, and the execution? To mention it as done with painful precision and tender loving care would demean it. The Rag is the embodiment of the TH spirit, the vigour of its residents, the energy of its tenants, the boldness to strive above and beyond its limits, transcending the boundaries of conventional wisdom. I now understand what it means to the TH-ians. What it means to be TH. It is to have pride in what we do, and to do our best, striving not for greater glory for yourself, but for the hall.
Heck, its what army was always meant to be. Above self, beyond others.
For hall and country.
020806- 0120hrs
On groups, in bonding. Dance en masse. The solemnity of the hall cheer. Ideas are like balls. The mood intensifier of good music.
Second day. I must say it was much more interesting than the first. Although the OG seemed half dead (I.E half gone.) I strongly believe the guys in my OG are ninjas. They seem to disappear when they’re not needed. Which leaves me to look lost and lonely and walk around. Haha. Well at least the OGLs are still there to talk to.
I seriously ponder my inability to talk rubbish. I’m not a chatterbox by habit. But the silence seems to press in so. Grasping at random threads of conversation seems to be so irritating to me. Maybe its because I don’t do it well. Haha. Laconic by nature, I am.
The mass dance was… disjointed. It felt very strange. Well im not one to really comment, not being a professional on the subject. But it did get a little psychomotor out there. Yeah. Maybe its just me and the few others who are having problems. But hey, since it’s a mass dance, nobody’s going to notice one person. That’s the beauty of strength in numbers.
The OGLs presented their hall cheer. I was struck by their solemnity. It was… beautiful. United in the voices, their actions… Any cult would be proud to have them as their cheer squad. A church congregation couldn’t have spoken with such conviction. Their actions were defined to military precision. I guess that’s because the guys WERE from the army. What a surprise. It was rousing, definitely.
Its always amazing what happens when you bounce ideas off other people. I hope the skit for starry starry night will be a success.
We had a great game in the evening, gladiator. Catapult warfare and running around tied to each other. I don’t know about you, but running from projectiles always gets my adrenaline going. The thrumming music from pirates of the Caribbean helped quite a bit. Its like cannons. Yeah.
Long day. Night out.
020806- 1347hrs
Taking a break before lunch. Had a fantastic series of games earlier. Some were quite disgusting, involving vegetables and fruits… Some were rehashes of normal games… All were fun. It was heartening to see that the OG is getting more involved. Together we managed to win the free-for-all game involving all the groups. Wonderful. Now just make sure that most of the OG people are around all the time…… and it would be perfect.
It is true. Lose your dignity and just go crazy. It does makes things more fun. Its even better when everyone does it. For God’s sake man, this is an orientation. Its not like looking stupid for 2 weeks will scar your life forever. Open up… Open up…
030806- 0310hrs
Supper again. I swear. That place is definitely not going to be the be all and end all for supper… its so… limited? What the hell. Theres only so much you can eat there. There’s gotta be someplace better. And I will find it.
Did my stint as the IC today. Heard a few funny comments. “You look like a Maori.” “Did anyone ever tell you that you look Pilipino?” “Are you pure Chinese?”And the all time bestseller, “Are you a second year student?”
There’s more and more international people in the group. Gotta take a few photos later on. French, Canadian, and an ABJ. Yup, that’s right. American born Japanese. Photos coming later.
I see why TH doesn’t have a fright night. The last game we played was scary enough. Following a walking, jerky character and imitating its movements… Man. Im wondering what happens if we find out we were following the WRONG character… Now that’s right out of a horror movie. I think we all had fun. Personally I find that’s more important than who won or lost. I’m wondering if that’s the wrong statement to voice when staying in a hall where winning seems to bring so much pride to the residents. Something to ponder over days to come.
I’ll have to say the games are interesting. And the situations and scenarios devised are ingenious. Looking forward to more.
Matriculating tomorrow. Finally some internet access? Yes please. *Booming evil laughter* HOHOHO…
060806- 0300hrs
Somewhat confused. Maybe im looking at the wrong signals. Whatever lah. Lets not think too much about it.
Past 2 days were quite fun. The night games were interesting and increased in complexity and scale. I’m impressed by the results of the effort they put into doing the games. It is a long long way to go for an orientation. But impressive nonetheless. Leaving out details of the game to maintain the surprise for future people who come in. Ya they all do that. The level of secrecy is amazing too.

Well orientation is over. The welcoming ceremony WAS touching. Moving to tears even. Some call it a hostel, we call it home.

Now i know how Huili can just disappear from our lives for 2 years, just like that.
Hall life is fantastic so far. Well, maybe its just the orientation. Im considering if a 4 year option is worthwhile. Lets see how the studies go...
Its nice to feel passionate about something.

Ramble, ramble, toil and travel...
Hmmm. No specific topic.
The weather is cranky. Either its cool, raining like crazy, or its hot.
I was watching that 70s show the entire week. Up to season 7. I think theres no point after that, the lead character jumped ship. The shows pretty much "jumped the shark". Now looking forward to the next half of South Park season 10 and Family Guy season 5. Coming out end of this year!
Lindsey Lohan guest starred in an episode of 70s show. Ya shes hot.
I was watching the last few minutes of Ms Singapore Universe. Jade Seah is hotter!
But she does bear a striking resemblance to a certain TCS actress...... yeah we all know. Fiona Xie. Was watching the new sitcom Maggi and Me. Its got a pretty lame name, a rather over-done premise, and it JUST happens to be a show about ghosts starting on the first day of the 7th month. Wow. What a coincidence.
But hey, its got Fiona Xie running around in a wedding dress! Now thats what i call entertainment.
Speaking of which, maggi mee was what i had for breakfast/lunch today. Woke late after a great night at Zouk. Mambo Revival- Playlist coming soon!
Alright, now im done here. Time to go read a friends blog- recommended by my other friends to melt my brains. Since i have no use for them right now... might as well go in for the works.

Disgusted.
Singapore Idol MY ASS. Singapore laughingstock more like it. I was watching the performances of the contestants. They disgust me.
First thing first, don't bother to come and try if you don't have a good singing voice. Some of them do. MOST of them DON'T. Fine. Those with the good singing voices, all right and good for you all. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't try the onstage antics. Running around and shaking while singing is so demeaning. Let Britney Spears or Jennifer Lopez sell albums that way. If you look normal like the rest of us, for gods sake, its a singing contest, not a booty shaking contest. PUT SOME SOUL INTO YOUR SOUND.
Aaaaaargh.

Paradise Lost
At night when i sleep, i close my eyes...
and the world appears through a blue tempered lens... Floating in a blue neverwhere... life in a silent film, broken by the steady flow of bubbles escaping my breathing regulator...
I lie suspended, face down, taking in the breathless expanse of corals that stretch as far as the eyes can see... schools of fishes of every colour and stripe darting, floating, gliding between the corals, playing little fish games, exploring little fish worlds, living the marine life...
Silently we float, the aliens, befinned and suited up, observing, and moving on... Out in the distance, a shape moves. Slowly you distinguish a turtle, its shell seperating from the dulled colours among the rock, majestically moving at an emperors place. The old man of the sea, his strokes distinguished and dignified, he takes his time and glides about his domain at his leisure. I watch with interest, and perhaps a little awe. His shape, so clumsy and bulbous above water, now seemed to soar with every stroke of his little legs.
Suddenly, unconsciously, my mouth clenches tight onto the regulator. I awake with a start. Sunlight streams through the gaps of the windows. All is silent besides the hissing of the air-conditioner in the little hut i call home for the 5 days i spent in Aur. It was just a dream, i think. But until now, even after leaving the island... My mind feels like its on a boat, rocking with invisible waves. When i close my eyes, imaginary worlds float before my sight, teasing, enticing, drawing me into its cool sweet embrace.
Somedays we capture what we want from the sea.
Somedays, the sea captures us.

Germany VS Italy
I have an interesting idea. We should have a Oscar Award ceremony for footballers. Celebrating the best actors in the league. Points of contention can be "Best innocent look", "best 'Hey, who said thats a foul?'", "best face screwed up in pain", "Friendliest face before match, most offensive after"....... ooh the list goes on and on.
Germany vs Italy deserves a special recommendation. This is the best match i've seen so far. Even Angela Merkel is watching! Play is fast and furious, both sides evenly matched. I predict penalties. Its already extra time, first half, and no goals yet. Probably none to come. This has got to be the match with the most number of acrobatics i have ever seen. Rolling, flying...... the players are throwing themselves against the ball...

Typing this while ENGLAND plays a horrible match
Honestly, beyond Beckham and his posse of good lookers, noone is going to bother to support England. Their playing style sucks. I can't for the life of me believe that people actually support how England plays. Im sitting here during the England-Portugal match typing this. There are 13 guys in this room. 4 are watching the game. 6 are playing munchkins. 2 are typing randomly on their laptops. (myself included) my brother is just looking bored. I now remember why i found soccer boring.
But this wasn't always so. For me, soccer watching is a once-every-four-year event. Yup, thats just the world cup. As my friend yannie, unofficially known as "Jesus" says- "thats the closest we're ever gonna get to world war." Honestly, as the second world cup im watching.... its not fantastic.
I supported Argentina. Why? i played their (virtual) team in Winning 11 on the Xbox. And i like their jersey colours. Besides that? do i give a rats ass? No...... Do i care? No...... But they play well. Their loss to Germany was just a fluke...... aaargh. Horrible. I was the sole argentinian supporter in a room full of Germany supporters... good thing my best friend didnt throw me out. haha.
Anyway, last friday was the last day at work for a few of my colleagues. Temps that is. We took a goodbye photo. After a little photoshop editing, here it is:
Well, not that i want to say this: GOOOOOOOO PORTUGAL!
thats all for tonight. Thank you folks!
