thanks to celine, i learned of the bus 851 which goes straight back home. surprised she remembered where i live. anyway taking that bus brought me back a lot of memories, well its cause i was sleeping on it yesterday and watching as it go today.
there comes clarke quay. the little secret nightout with vanessa. kinda funny as i think back, but .. hmms kinda sweet what happened. and at there was also a venos outing, where xiuzhen and janice was eating bah kuh teh in secret while waiting for the rest to come out.
then .. bugis. loads of things happened there. one of which is the day after clubbing, i went there with vanessa and her friends to get supplies, designers tsk. then .. last christmas eve i ate there with cheston they all. met fion by chance at illuma and bought a mokona there too. zetten outing where i first ate the sketches restaurant. that little date with jinye whom i accompany for a day cause she was sad. well in short, bugis holds quite a lot of memories.
then it went pass kk hospital too. i stayed there for almost a week due to dangue fever, peiqi visited me every single day and stayed till the evening, even though its school week, meaning she came after school. kerensa visited me too, at night, like right after pq left, she came in with nathaniel, her brother. oh and before that, pq dragged me to the doctor. hahahah!
then lastly the bus went pass yio chu kang. suddenly thought of that ultra violent freshie of mine who tortures me with her abusive 'pad on the back' . hahahahahah! why would i miss that idiot .. =.=" well actually, over time she has become gentler. dumb freshie trying hard to be demure.
so many memories. i was thinking of them as if i was gonna get in an accident and have the rear of the bus crushed off by an incoming truck and i flew off into the open only to be hit by a flying tire and die. hahahah final destination !

heh heh i met celine today ! she wanted to buy subway and ... eh ?! so shocked to see a familiar face there at the store. andand congratulations! thats the first discount i gave. 40% discount ! seriously, wow. it made the foot-long with a meal cost less than 7.
theres a reason why i diddnt publicize where i work, its cause i dont want people to come and ask me for discounts. its "i give discount as and when i like it, to him or her whom i choose" (:

ouch. burnt hands with lots of cuts. jeez.
anyway on saturday there was this rather pretty girl who was studying at th store, she seemed very very very familiar. she has been at the store atleast twice, but i keep having this feeling that ive met her somewhere else before. blah anyway, on sunday there was this quite pretty girl too, who keeps smiling at me, hahahah! anyway somehow i find her figure very nice, kinda matches her face and all.
so why am i talking about all these crap ? cause i just remembered how my manager tease me =.= at closing time the pretty girl(first mentioned) was still studying there, with 2 friends who came later. so the manager said "gareth go tell your girlfriends that we're closing already" ... eh ? hahahah ! apparently i was the only guy outside, the other guy was doing the cleanup inside.
its kinda fun, all the sandwiches i make aint really perfect, as in really perfect, except the one i make for myself (: its art ! ate it anyway, so tasteless. cause im not feeling well, until i find that coke isnt sweet enough. omg ? hahahah.
thanks to that dream i had 2 days back, ive been stuck with that particular person in my mind. jeez ! oh and, mechwarrior is soooooo addictive !

been busy. work, birthdays, some fun. and more work, more birthdays.
anyway, thursday, the day before ethan's birthday. i had my exam and .. dont think it went so well. realized that i made a big mistake on the interpretation of one question, together with another question which i may have wrote the answer wrongly, and 3 other questions which i have no clue on how to do. crap, that's all i can say.
on this day i bought this Mokona ! it was cheaper, due to a 50% sale !
then the next day, ethan's birthday. mark and i went to get a haircut, before meeting up with ethan then going to seoul garden to have dinner. really weird to have short hair, the stylist made it like some Korean(according to ethan's description) hairstyle. but when i try ti style it myself, it wasnt anywhere near as good .. jeez!
food ! omg ate till so full !!
then anyway it was 2 days of work, and monday, its Gwen's birthday celebration ! her birthday actually falls on the 26th but celebrated on the 21st since its her 21st birthday. she booked a chalet @ aloha loyang for one day. had a catered buffet dinner there too. anyway mark and i ate kfc before going over, was just too hungry. and he bought the gift at Whitesands.
when gwen got dragged into the room
things happen, im just so unlucky to get so many forfeits. but anyway quite fun, though very very tiring.
"evil murderer" Gwen ! well we were playing the card game Murderer.
and heres gwen talking to cross while i took the pictures.
anyway, seems very nicely prepared, with a big cake too ! i wonder why its a key, maybe its ... the key to freedom ? since age of 21 is legal freedom age in singapore.
now aint that nice ?
blurry..
gwen was being photoed like a celebrity. well its her big celebration ! 21st (:
and heres the lead girl passing out the cake.
my slice, it taste nice (: chocolate !
i shall pass her the card and the present some other day i guess. Gwenda(mix of Gwen and Panda) grew up (:
other notes.
*mark and ethan's friend looks very much like that girl i met at amara. shocked me totally. *females, please dont wear a bra thats larger than what fits you, especially when wearing something like a tank top. *that girl i saw on the train, had really pretty eyes. bit lack in figure, she looks way younger. but till now i still remember that look. *please dont climb across beds just to sit at the other end, especially when wearing a dress. *i really miss apple. called her just now and she tried her best to entertain me, trying to keep attention but shes actually at work. sorry to bother! *Happy Birthday Jee Hui ! (: *it seems jinye's birthday is coming too. *oh and yes, Happy Birthday Eugene! *right now, a lot of things are in a mess. *recently i dont know why im feeling so tired and stuff. even with light work. *i found out that my co-worker at Subway is actually Jolene&Liyan's(classmates) friend. *i cant remember many things, too much happened in too little time with no blogging. *oh and a zetten outing is finally coming, i wonder whos going, and i wonder if i could make it. *seriously broke. *my phone is dying ! like seriously, dying. well not too bad, functional but slowing down. *i broke my earpiece. i have no clue how many earpieces/headphones ive broken ! its seemingly countless! *confusion still remains in my heart.

jeez. what kind of person would suddenly come and bug me at 4am ? none other than the troublesome jinye. like. troublesome.
from the first time ive known her till now, she has always been .. troublesome (: spending so much time listening to all her complaints and stuff. back then she talks about the guy she likes in class, who bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla. then later on she got a boyfriend. then okay a moment of silence. and after they broke up, its like i have to reply like a hundred sms a day ? jeez~
so, now in poly, she still complains here and there. her assignments bla bla bla. coming to bug me when shes bored and stuff. whenever i see her msn conversation box, first thought : jeez whats up this time. hahahahah! sometimes its troublesome to be a good friend to that girl. seriously. but .. the usual saying : "you know how to find me when you need me." (:
and again, recently ive been thinking about a specific person. since yesterday when i went to the job interview with mark, ive been thinking of that person, who i've spend so much time with at work. somehow, i miss her a LOT =X

wow its been so long since i last visited here, so long that my browser logged me out from blogger.
but .. anyways theres this movie, Brave Story. heard of it loads of time, seen many related pictures, but until moments ago then i finally watched it. its a really nice movie !!!
This boy, who stumbled upon a strange kid in school, things happen, his family life went bad, and from that mysterious kid, he learns that destiny can be changed, an unrestricted wish could be cast if he travels to this other world. And there, his journey began.
i find the ending rather sad but yet nice, sad as in what happened, nice also as in what happened but bit later on.
most of all, i really like the song (: been listening to it for ages. its quite meaningful in the lyrics too, well, translated that is.
heres a video with the song in it. the images are part of the movie.
and heres the lyrics (:
in any case, let's go on painting our awkward dreams in any case, our awkward dreams of bright, joyful love "no need to put on airs, you're more like you when you aren't pretentious" the harder we toil the more our fruitless journey seems like the progress of a grade-schooler, hands and feet aflailing but that's fine too, isn't it, what it means to live surely, to be laughed at is exactly what I intended
deep, deep in my heart is the hidden, true me flesh and blood of 36.5 degrees celsius, unembellished, come now, we don't stop but we're still pretending to be strong, still putting up barriers, still battling pain
When in pain, I wish we were able to confess that it hurts we are but weaklings pretending to be tough to pretend that I'm all right when I'm lonely is to protect my self that threatens to crumble I'm sure I'm not the only one, that embraces these feelings that have no destination, this loneliness that has no whereabouts
Uncaring for the pains of others yet growing uncertain with regards to myself disliking people, thinking that I'm the only one who's unfortunate at things I'm not granted I only sigh, cry like a three-year-old infant sitting waiting for this thing called love I shan't lose to the reflection of asphalt, I thought, watching those who walk by their own feet if there are feet that you can move if there are places where you want to go let's walk there with these very feet
there are nights when I thought, we might not be able to reclaim our true smiles, but, supported by the warmth of those who are dear to us, I had thought that I'd like to try believing once more
When in pain, I wish we were able to confess that it hurts we are but weaklings pretending to be tough to pretend that I'm all right when I'm lonely is to protect my self that threatens to crumble, however mistakes, scars, days when the way darkens, days of childish tear-stained faces, these things will be the proof of my existence in any case, from now on, with more, much more resolution than anyone else, let's carry on painting our awkward dreams put away our excuses, puff out our chests with pride, let's carry on singing songs of the people we call ourselves
