there's like a invisible wall between us. i can see you, but i can't feel you. i can be as close to you, but i can't reach you. no matter how hard i try, it was to no avail. you can feel my existence, but can't feel my heart. so all i could do was to look at you behind the mirror. we live in different worlds, so even though there are connections, they're disconnected and encrypted. so all i could do was to watch you behind the mirror. but if i can see the smile on your face, probably i'll juz walk away without you knowing.
Lines ever more unclear I'm not sure I'm even here The more I look the more I think that I'm Starting to disappear
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball Save us all, tell me life is beautiful Mirror, mirror on the wall Oh, crystal ball, hear my song I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong So put me where I belong
I don't where I am And I don't really care I look myself in the eye There's noone there I fall upon the earth I call upon the air But all I get is the same old vacant stare
it's gonna be a long night.

v for vendetta.
i don't think i can ever find a movie as nice as it.
watched it for the third time today. and went to search for some of its classic lines. i love them.
this is wad v said when he first appeared.
"Viola! In view a humble vaudivillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victimand villain by the vestitutes of fate. This visage, no mere vinear vanity isa vestige of the vox populi now vacant, vanished. However, this valorousvisitation of a bygone fixation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquishthese venal and and vidilant vermin vanguarding vice and vouch saving theviolently vicious and voracious violation of vorasure... The only verdict isvengance, a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value andvoracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.Verrily this viciousuage of verbage veers most verbose, so let me simply addthat it's my very good honor to meet you, and you may call me 'V' "
-VI VERI VENIVERSUM VIVUS VICI this is in latin, which meant "By the power of Truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe"
-Artists used lies to tell the truth, while politicians used them to cover the truth up.
-I dare do all that may become a man. Who dares do more is none
-The time has come for me to meet my Maker, and to repay him in kind for all that he s done.
-People shouldn’t be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
-Beneath this mask there is more than flesh.Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr.Creedy,and ideas are bulletproof.
aren't them sexy.

another lovely friday night.
woke up at around 10+ today cos i slept at 3 am the previous day. lol. met wg and his 3 other frens at bishan to catch "the host". ok i think it sucks. firstly, tell me wad kinda movie it was supposed to be? scary show? funny show? i can't seem to see the main idea the movie was trying to convey. if you were to say that it's a scary show, it's not scary at all. if you were to say that it was a commedy, it wasn't that funny either. all i saw was a substandardly animated monster running around on the street. the director tried to add in elements of humour, but failed to send the message through. zzz. sucks.
oh ya the banquet wasn't that good too. the music wasn't fantastic at all, the story line wasn't planned properly, the acting was lousy. probably the characters' costumes and the setting of the movie were the only things that appealed to me.
had dinner at the food function at J8. haven't been there for quite some time alady. wg and i was talking and one of his frens asked me if i was a local. i said no. afterwards, yy asked me if i was from CHINA. zzz. sinagporeans usually misunderstood ppl who speak chinese with foreign accent for china ppl....well i don't blame them. but...i juz don like it when ppl think that i'm from china. lol. don't u guys know where's taiwan?!
took a long bus ride home. i love lengthy night bus rides. i can find a comfy seat at the righthand back of the bus and have a good nap. i'll usually take off my spects at times like this. the light spots on the street seem to turn into luminous circular objects. heh i dno how to describe. but i love the scene. indulging in my mp3 music and looking at the world passing by. and i nv fail to realise how beautiful sinagpore is at night. fullerton hotel, explanade, the business towers at raffles place. everything seems so mesmerizing. yeah i love it.
two more days before the final battle starts. enjoy.

" i'll always be there for you"
then who's gonna be there for them?
i've been thinking, thinking about lotsa stuffs. probably it's my post exam emptiness.
imagine you're a super nice fren to everyone. you're always so positive, so optimistic. ppl always turn to you when they have problems. you can't bare to say "no" when they turn to you. in the end, you're the one who suffers the most. because you're so nice that everyone look for help from you. they confess to you, pour out their unhappiness. and you take in all of them. so who's gonna be there for you? you can solve everyone's problems, except your own ones.
you have to put up a strong image in front of your frens, as they expect you to be the best. you put up a smile even when you're in pain. you keep all your troubles to yourself, cos noone can help you.
well. i guess it's juz isn't easy to be a nice person. but it's worthwhile.

wow.
prelims are over. doesn't feel like it though. i've been going to the library to study consecutively for about 3 weeks (ok lah except one day..) the amount of things to study is really overwhelming. moreover, even though you might have completed studying chemistry a month ago, you'll forget about 30% of the things to study a month later. so it makes it really difficult to completely finish the whole syllabus. you'll have to study, revise, study revise again and again.
now it's all over. i'll have a break this weekend. the next exam is the determinant. it's about a month away, so i guess if i continue this pace till O levels, my results shall be satisfactory. hope that i can get like below 15 for my prelims? heh. play hard for the moment everyone!!!
this is the result of having too much stress. acupuncture. it's not as pain as you think lah.
the foam is so thick that the stirer can stand...
summer peach tea freeze!! my fav.
ok i'm going to meet my long-time-no-see-favourite-tutor-cum-best-fren now. bb!!

for a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin , real life. But, there was always some obsacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinnished business, time still to be served or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you share it with someone special, someone special enough to spend your time with. Make the most of your time. Don’t waste too much of your time studying, working, or stressing about something that seems important. Do what you want to do to be happy but also do what you can to make the people you care about happy.
Remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you take your last test, until you finnish school, until you go back to school, until you have the perfect body, the perfect car, or whatever other perfect thing you desire.
Stop waiting until the weekend, when you can party or let loose, until summer, spring, fall or winter, until you find the right person and get married, until you die, until your born again, to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don’t need the money, Sing like no one's hearing and dance like no one’s watching. Love like you have never been hurt, and live like it's the last day of your life.

relationships are really priceless. be it with the opposite sex, friends, or family.
when i was young, my mom once told me that your genuine friends, are usually the once you knew from young. i totally believe in this, but not saying that the friends you make when you get older are hypocritical or wad. friends you knew from young will definitely knew wad kind of person you are. and they share memories with you. by the time you get to work in society, everything are no longer so simple. none of your friends now will judge you because of your background, your parents' jobs, the mark in front of your car (wow if u happen to have one). the relationship isn't built on a basis of benefits or interests. your friends now are juz your good friends. but after your left the campus, after you no longer wear your uniform, the word friend is spelt differently.
genuine friendships do not need to be voiced. it's unspoken consensus. even though they always insult you and mock at you, you know they nv mean it seriously. they're ppl who will wake up in the middle of the night to have a night walk with you; ppl who'll pon sch together with you juz because you say so; ppl who'll take the blame for you even though he has not done anything; ppl who will do all sorts of crazy stuffs you've nv imagined before with you; ppl who can confort you when you're down, and guide you when you're lost; ppl who you cry, laugh, and siao with; ppl who you don't need to worry if they still concern about you, because you know, they're always there.
treasure your friends. in the future, they're the ppl whom are going to drive the same type of ar as you, live in the same type of house, have similar values and interests. they're the only ones whom give you a sense of belonging, and feel not alone in this sophisticated world. you'll realise in the further run that, money can be earned again if they're lost, but friendships can't be built again if they're gone.
please remember, wad you lose now isn't only a friendship, but a period of youth, a continuation of trust, which you would rather have your friends pangsehing you a hundred times than losing it.
and i wish i had one

i was at cine eating lunch with wg and anne yesterday, and i went up to sambawang to preorder my jay chou album. as we were walking along the second story, we passed by a gift shop which is juz deside the lift area. and it was playing songs which i have nv before, and it sounded like jay chou's voice. so i went into to have a clearer sound. and yes, they are songs from jay's new album. i was extremely angry as not only did they illegally downloaded jay chou's new album when it HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN PUBILISHED OFFICIALLY, they are playing it out loud in the public!! damn.
so after some discussion with wg and anne, i decided to take some actions. i went up to the ah beng-look-alike-stall-keeper and told straight into his face that wad he was doing was illegal. and being the CHAIRMAN OF ONE OF THE UNKNOWN JAY CHOU FAN CLUB IN SINGAPORE, i felt obligatory to ask him to stop playing the album. and i said if he wasn't going to stop, i would call the cops and sue him. he looks darn shocked after i talked to him. and started stammering that he would remove the music immediately.
yes. go preorder jay chou's album now and stop asking your friend to send you the songs. effing unappreciative bastards.
