My First Birthday Present 2008
Welcome back to another excruciatingly boring episode of "Yang's Life". Today, I shall talk about really mundane stuff, that is, talking about one day of my life. For all you readers out there, YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE!!! -clears throat- All right, if this entry does not drive you away, I seriously need to know what will.
-copies LJZ's format in telling a day of his life on his blog-
2.30am
Reached home from cousin's bachelor party; I had two vodkas, one with lime and another with cranberry. Note: Hooters and Brewerkz are my favourite hangouts if I go Clarke Quay.
3.00am
Took a bath.
3.30am
Sound asleep.
8.00am
Jumped out of bed, brushed teeth, washed face, changed and left for work.
9.00am
Loiter outside the office because lost office keys. Thank goodness Director came shortly.
1.15pm
Finally got off work! -curses and swears at some dumb bell of a business partner-
1.45pm
Reached Bugis Junction and met Yi Bing with twin sister. Note: She slimmed down quite a bit. Warning: Anyone else thinking about slimming down, please spare a thought for me. Everytime someone slims down, their phats get transferred to me. -glares-
2.30pm
Anonymous Angel (AA) arrived at Bugis. AA nauseated me by saying his goodbyes and telling me he is going home. (-.-)" Anyway, we went to Bras Basah Complex to find art stuff for my "white container" also known as (a.k.a.) my dream home. Then went to Karl Heng to PR. AA learnt a few gossip. -mutters- All in all, we went to Sagacity (pronounced as sir-gair-city, not sir-gah-city...I do not care! I am right!), Art Friend and Popular. Did not get anything but that is fine; getting it another day.
4.30pm
Went to McDonald's for takeaway; AA had a hot fudge sundae and I had large iced lemon tea. Walked to City Hall in the rain; AA insisted I share his umbrella even after I told him it spoils my image to use an umbrella. Eh...in short, it has something to do with my reputation and phats! Reached City Hall's interior and got fascinated by the waterfall message. Eh...in short, I will describe it to you should you want to know further details. Met a primary/secondary school mate of mine; she was on her way to work. Anyway, destination was Singapore Flyer so the plan was to walk through City Link Mall and pop out from Esplanade. Lo and behold, got to where Hallmark is and from that point onwards it was jam packed all the way to near New York New York. I hate human crowds! No air~! I held onto his bag's strap as much as I could and managed to get out of that terrible experience.
5.30pm
Finally got to Singapore Flyer and exchanged for tickets. Initally, we planned to take it another day but there were so many restrictions that we had no choice but to take it today. Note: Not to fear, I can go up on the wheel as many times as I can afford to; I simply love it! Took a lot of pictures on mobile phone because neither of us brought a camera, not that I had one but AA did and he did not bring it because he did not expect to take the ride today. To me, the ride was MAGNIFICENT!!! I want to go for the ride again and again! We were smiling, waving and taking pictures back and forth with another young boy in the capsule before ours. After he got off, we saw him and asked him if he was waiting for us and guess what! The girl with him is someone I know! I cannot remember her name but she is playing the sheng for Keat Hong Chinese Orchestra and it is her birthday! Anyway, I bought the picture that was taken at the Singapore Flyer and going to do something with it. It is a secret because AA will be reading this too.
6.30pm
Took a bus to Plaza Singapura and had our dinner at Sakae Sushi. Initially, I wanted to pay it all or at least split the bill but AA got hold of the bill first and paid SGD50; I paid another SGD13. It was a good meal and the highlight was the way he spoke in Malaysian accent! I laughed till I teared.
8.10pm
Went to Spotlight to look for more art materials; enroute we stopped at Crocs at my request. Note: I will be getting a new pair of Crocs in October. After Spotlight, we went to Yamaha. Nope, I still cannot find the pick Jieyin wants. Note: Still searching for the SGD10 pick; very tempted to buy a lot to amount it to SGD10.
9.10pm
Went to Ben & Jerry's at The Cathay. I paid for it because AA paid for dinner. We had a chocolatey awesome time!
10.30pm
We took the train home.
12.00mn
I reached home.
I had a very memorable 9.5 hours. Thank you, AA, for this wonderful birthday present. -hugs-
Right then, I expect no one to come to my blog ever again after this entry, so do not let me find out that you, yes you, have even dropped by my main page! -glares through slitty eyes-
Ciao, pimples!
2.10am
Blogging completed.

Making History
Dear all, time certainly flies by and golly, what in the world are you guys still doing here? Tagging on my board even after I posed threats and warnings repeatedly to get you fleas out of my skin! Well, you guys made me turn to insults to reduce readership. If this does not work, I will post up my bikini pictures. *coughs-if-i-know-how-to-post-pictures-on-blogs-coughs*
So so so, I have received threats and complaints about my "not-so-far-and-apart" entries. So for those weirdos who are still reading my blog, I hope this is a nightmare instead of a treat. [I almost spelt "threat" instead of "treat" (-.-)"]
I am terribly sorry that I do not share enough with you pimples but I am here right now so hear me out. -pauses-
Ha! You have been tricked! You were supposed to go away after I said, "hear me out." All right, enough lame stuff and on to the main topic.
I am just done watching the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympics held in Beijing, People's Republic of China. Several thoughts crossed my mind when I was watching it.
(1) This is the first time I am even bothered to watch the opening ceremony of Olympics. I tried it once in 1996 when they were celebrating the centennial of Olympics but dozed off while watching for a few minutes. This time I managed to stay up throughout the four tedious hours. Cheered for countries I liked including Singapore, of course. I have always known I am patriotic and been very proud of the fact that I am of Chinese descent.
(2) Olympics seems like a commercial tactic for countries hosting it. Some countries might have animosity feelings towards another but everyone seems happy when they are there. [Hold your thoughts, more coming up]
*pauses regular blogging*
Side note: I must not jump ahead of others. I will learn to listen till the end before I speak.
*resumes regular blogging*
(3) With all the happy faces amongst the seas of audience and sports personnel, you know enmity between countries really belongs with the government. The people and soldiers are the ones who always suffers from silly decisions and propaganda from the government. When I watched Olympics, it is as the current motto fits: One world, one dream. No one killed anyone. This is how the world should be: One family. Sure we have our disagreements but you do not kill your sister or brother who crossed your path. I mean, most of us will not, I do not speak for everyone. Guess that means, some world leaders just behave like the psychotic siblings who kill when crossed by another. I know it is not always as simple as being crossed; there is oppression, injustice, corruption, discrimination and many other differences that turn people into such. Whatever it is, I feel very sad when I think of such detriments.
So anyway, back to about making history as my title states. It just hit me that we are living in what our future will call history. I think it is so cool. Even after ten years, people are going to go like, "hey, remember that on 8th August 2008 when Beijing was host for Olympics?" And, I will go like, "yeah, I watched it." I find the concept so awesome. I was part of something great. In a way, anyway.
All right, all the above was written on 9th August 2008 and it is not erm...10th August 2008. Bwahaha! I slept, played, ate and forgot to complete it. Trying to think of something erm...awesome to wrap up this entry. Here goes:
Pimples, we live only once as our current selves. I always run through the NPCO list on my MSN, both online and offline. I read all your display names and personal messages. Some have very heartbreaking words, others anger, philosophical, joyful and so on. I find this list so amazing. I feel so many things just by scanning through it and then work on stuff according to the needs of my different babies. Curses to those who have foreign languages on their display names and personal messages. Yes, I am talking about the Japanese and Korean words! You know who you are. -glares- And do not bring out about the pimple who used French because at least I can use Fish to translate.
Anyway, to return to earth here. I will be going back to NPCO starting on 26th August 2008. I know my readership consists of many year threes and a couple of alumni so this message is going to you pimples. I will try to rekindle the kind of love that existed in NPCO. I love NPCO because of all of you. Even with you gone, I will survive these dark hours and rebuild the fire with sheer willpower. Do not think I use the word "love" too loosely for each time I utter love, it is for a different kind of love. Therefore, everytime I say it. believe in it. For I truly, love thee. -brushes a couple of teardrops away from eyeballs-
"Take me as I am."
Recommended song: "Leave Out All the Rest" - Minutes to Midnight album - Linkin' Park
All right, enough BS to last you a lifetime.
Ciao, pimples!
P.S.: I love You. *hug & kiss*
