Can't.. stop.. thinking...... about....
Monday, January 31, 2005
Wonder why I chose to blog rather than do my EL1101 tutorial due at 9am tomorrow.. or go and sleep coz I need to wake up at 7 to go to school...
I can't stop thinking about her since Saturday.. The cookie-baking morning just threw me into a whole new realm of infatuation.. and I thought I was contented with a one-sided thing.. self-entertainment.. but I realise I want so much more..... Like I would have the urge heart shaped cookies after she left.. couldn't resist smsing her when the special cookies were successful..
At least we baked the brownies together. awwww
But it's confirmed. She's attached. No eve I didn't ask her.. got gabriel to ask her good friend. Yah I know i'm useless.. but I really didn't know how to react if she said "yes, she is."

When I was younger I was asked what my girlfriend will be like.. and I said she must be able to do crazy things like me.. and so we can do crazy things together. I've found these girls.. but why am I blindly pursuing the feeling.. the 感觉 which i feel so strongly?
Maf Brothers were lamenting about our singlehood too.. and quek did suggest the craziest situation of all: But dun lose hope brothers haha if all else fails just try to look for a whole bunch of 8 girls who do dumb stuff too...
Think I ought to hit the bed... so much for tutorials..
I wonder what helping out at the bazaar will be like. At least I get to see her again...

Was too busy/sleepy/lazy to blog earlier...
Saturday, January 29, 2005
Taking a leaf out of Toad's blogging techniques I've decided to try subheading my eventful blog...
Ex. KINGKONG
I so wanted to type this right after the meeting as I had a 2 hour break.. but I decided to but time to more productive use and study Computing instead.
So the tasked fell on me to gather the rest of the AOCC (Armour Officer Cadet Course for the benefit of the lucky non-military).. though most didn't want to skip lecture.. those from NTU couldn't make it.. those working were stuck at their desks.. those overseas didn't managed to catch the flight back.. about 10+ people turned up at Munchie Monkey for the mini-gathering.. There's something about gatherings like this.. where you've seen people you haven't seen for very long and you cant find a common topic straightaway and end up either talking about our cadet days again or about our individual different army lives after commissioning.. It's not the type of close friends buddy-type gathering but more of hey-what-have-you-been-doing-nowadays type of catching up. Talked a lot to Chen Jianwen especially (coz he came over to my room 1st before going over to MM) and his ever dramatic life in business.. how pageant has changed him.. how business girls bitch.. his gf.. our aspirations.. blah blah...
So MAJ Victor came about 1/2 hour later.. still the same.. tall.. intimidating (less though coz he was smiling more).. FYI MAJ Victor or as we fondly address by his callsign Mike-one-nine was this tyrannical sadistic Course Commander of our who would make us do 188 counts of 8 jumping jacks in 20 minutes with SBO and rifle (if you think it's easy go do it yourself!) just because we didn't fire off all the GPMG rounds in Wallaby.. the guy who would make us prep the M113 (an armoured vehicle) for operation in 10 mins and tear it down in 5 mins over and over again.. the guy who made my platoon do log-PT jst because we were doing our battle course to slowly.. the guy who kicked sand into one of my coursemates face while in pumping position which caused him to Out of Course.. the legendary 'A' OC from 46SAR that tore off a 2SG's rank just because he lost his way.. who smashed a man's mess tin with a 10-pound hammer just because it was not 'up to standard'.....
And this man was so incredibly friendly during the gathering that we couldn't get used to it. He's doing his Masters now.. will be in NUS for 1.5 years.. and started asking how we all have been doing after commissioning... as a friend. Chattering.. joking.. laughing.. it kinda felt like this was his true self.. and not the tyrant he was just 2 years back.
Though memories still flash back.. as we were talking about live firing in Wallaby..... My memories of live firing there were traumatic because I was so stressed to fire off all my rounds especially for the big weapons on the vehicle becuase they were to hard to fire... And when I asked myself why was I so scared? I stole a glance at that friendly man beside me.... it was because of him.
So I guess we'll see more of him around. But I would still prefer to keep the image of the monsterous MAJ Victor rather than this good ol' Victor Lee. Coz he is what binds our course together...
MH's Grandmother's Funeral
MH was my driver in unit.. problematic he was.. always getting himself into trouble which I had to save him.. had a lousy temper which he curbed after millions of talks with me... which i fought for his stay-out because his grandmother was his only kin.. Did a house visit on him once.. That was why I felt particularly the need to go to his grandmother's funeral now that she had passed away from stroke. Well.. now MH's alone in this world.
Guess he was surprised to see me there.. talked to him and caught up with him.. more mature now.. more mallow.. guess it's for the good. 4 more months to ORD well... to him he feels that he can't get out.. but somehow I feel that he coming out will only throw him into the unsheltered brutal world. All these I didnt' say though... Hope he can soar with his aspirations.
Ch.E.S.S Special Projects
Never did I think I would be so involved in Ch.E.S.S (Chemical and Environmental Engineering Students' Society not some stupid chess club). Did the bash poster for Adrian until late into the night.. went to buy stuff for baking after lessons together.. and tomorrow they will be coming over to bake cookies. Haa so exciting.. guess who's coming over again?
What else will I be doing? I'd be mending the booth for the bazaar.. I'll be selling tickets for the bash.. I'll be selling flowers hopefully on V-Day itself.. and I'm contemplating doing a flash for the bash advertisement.. like what i did for ChrisCo...
Funkamania Finals
Music-Sheares was the team I went down to support.. but turned out that all other contestants were SO MUCH BETTER! Sorry to say but I particularly liked the KR one who were so creative with their props and their costumes and steps and all.. and the Little White Riding Hood team with Junqiang and Jiexiao was amazing too.. totally awesome.. like how they can jump in and out of their formation and still retain the pyramid shape.. the 'fight scene' in the dance.. SMU's dance team turned out to be quite spectacular too surprisingly...
Though the winners were unexpected.. but it was truely a treat for the night.. moreover it's free! Sometimes I was thinking if I can dance like that.. but everyone has their limitations I guess.. Haa that sounds like a lousy excuse for my laziness.. ok I admit if I trained super hard I'll transform from this short-fat-inflexible Chio to the stillshort-fit-flexible-breakdancer Chio.. but well.. I guess the easy way out would still be the former. Haa
Anyway.. cheers to the Sheares team. You've done the Hall proud.
So the week has passed.. with minimal tutorials done and even a more miserable amout of revision and studying. here comes 4th week.. and time to start mugging hard boy.. holidays are way over. Someone tell me how I can overcome this huge inertia?
Class 95's songs at night are really heavenly....

Technology Sucks
Friday, January 28, 2005
Upon careful calculation I put my clothes in the washing machine at 8.. which shuold finish washing by 10 and I can put in the dryer and let it cook till 11.30 so I can hang them out for further baking by noon when the sun is fresh before leaving for my lessons at 1.
Bah but the stupid machine was stuck and the door refused to open. So I had to wash 1 more round damnit. Just dumped the clothes into the dryer at 1230.
There goes the vitamin D from the sun on my clothes.
Damn I sould like a bloody housewife. But I just had to lament this somewhere.
Hope it rains.

Wasted my day away
Thursday, January 27, 2005
I ought to be shot for not resisting the temptation to blog. I haven't blogged for soooooo long.
Alternate Wednesdays are my free days.. and I just wasted one of them today! Slept at 5 the previous night working on Adrian's posters... maybe it explained why I plonked back to bed straight after breakfast... And there the morning was gone.
I still managed to drag myself outta bed for Adrian's meeting (all the way at engin!) What a crazily unproductive meeting which lasted till 4+! Maybe we were all talking cock and worrying about useless stuff.. But the meeting wasn't that bad after all.. I mean haha.. Saturday the whole gang will be coming to my block to bake cookies (xy included yoohoo) so it means Friday I'd be going down with the girls to buy the ingredients.. Selling flowers and balloons on V-Day itself..? hmm... surprisingly Adrian's crazy idea of selling excess flowers on Orchard Road was quite well received.. haha so technically I'm spending V-Day with her! But well.. it's just technically. *sigh*
How can I afford to be so siao-on about my faculty.. hmm come to think of it I have no more commitments in Sheares.. for now.
And Adrian managed to get xy to be OGL for my OG in the next Chem Eng FWC. Guess who the other OGL is?
Me.
Ah cheap thrill right? Chio wake up.. Objective taken.
So with much inertia I plugged out the set of computing notes from deep beneath my folder and started flipping through them.. and I'm just starting to look at Lecture 2. Arrrggghh.. it's the 3rd week into school someone give me the momentum to start studying seriously!
Meeting MAJ Victor and the rest of AOCC at Munchie Monkeys in the afternoon. Yep the Ops Order I posted in the blog was part of the rubbish stuff I was doing earlier in the day.. when time could be put to more productive use. Nevertheless.. still excited about the mini-gathering later.
Back to boobs.. books.

Sunday, January 23, 2005
I didn't blog because I didn't know what to say.. or what I want to say.
Unhappy things happened at home. Maybe that's why I like staying in hall. I don't like to be controlled.. nagged.. what you call it. Call me an escapist?
It's 3am and I'm not sleepy. But there's nothing to do. So I guess it's time to hit the bed.
Read through all my livejournal blogs again. It's so nice to go back in time.

Handball guys please WIN!
Wednesday, January 19, 2005
I can't post this in any forum for fear any intruders will read.. so I guess my blog should be quite safe..
I was reading KR's forum on IHG and can't help but realise how childish and admandment some posts were.. especially after the legendary handball girls match where they played crudely rough and the 'threatening' of the referee which resulted in one of their male players suspended from the entire IHG..
And in a flurry of incinerating words SH were suddenly "sore-losers", "unsportsmanship", "hypocrites". *puke blood*.
But it's a forum. You can write whatever you want.. twist the facts in any way you want.. entertain youselves.. irk everyone else.
So Friday will be the showdown between KR and SH handball guys. Quote Chye "要不是他们找到外面的 referee 我看没有 IVP 的人敢 referee 这场球赛...很可能会打架lor.." I didn't believe him until I read the forums myself.
So handball guys please win. I will turn up for sure. If not for the support.. for the fight. (haha)

Crazy 22
Tuesday, January 18, 2005
What a birthday.. what a birthday.. This is definitely the craziest birthday I ever had in 22 years. So crazy I don't know whether to feel angry or happy.
The first stunt came when I returned back to hall after lessons (with Linian) only to find the whole hall spammed with posters of a hairy, "hot, sexy and virile" Chio.. of course the Happy Birthday Chio was there. In the initial moment of freaking out and paisehness I almost wanted to rip all the posters down.. but then again.. I suddenly thought.. MAF Brothers had struck! Haha.. so I decided to leave the posters alone and hurried to hide in my room.
And yes it was Tat's creation.. caught him with the incriminating evidence in Toad's room. Didn't dare to have dinner at first.. but Tat, Seng, Toad wanted me to.. and yes I entered the Comm Hall with absolute reluctance albeit cheers from the diners as I scooped my rice...
I knew there was more coming. No cake.
So amidst block supper I was put into a garbage can and dragged all the way to Block C level 8 to be ponded.. shampooed and whatever else happened next will remain a secret between the MAF Brothers. Haha.. though it was a traumatic experience.. everyone got their fair share of what I got.. bwahahaaha..
So that was all. I went back to block.. no food left. And made the terrible mistake of going to bathe.. thinking it was the end of the day.
It was an attack by the guys... again watever happened shall remain a modest secret and yes it was 10 times more traumatic than what happened in Block C. Guys can go crazy sometimes.. though I wonder what the thrill was in making me do all those things.. For a moment I thought.. hey it's my birthday.. why am I being tortured at your pleasure?
By a stroke of luck (and with my wonderful neighbour KayPing's help) I somehow turned the tables. At that moment it was Chio against the rest of the world. I stood my ground in insisting that I don't do what I don't want to. Standing firm helps.. and reaching a compromise and trying not to be that much of a spoilsport (being pissed as I was at that time though) I just completed what they wanted and got the key to my room.
Seeing the decorated room appeased me almost straightaway. And I was reminded that they were celebrating my birthday. Birthday songs, cut cake blah blah.. the traditional stuff. Well in whatever way it could be.. the motive was to initiate me into the 22nd year of my life.. And with so many seniors and juniors taking part in this.. and the fact that they had started planning quite long ago.. thanks so much for all the effort in making this day such such such a memorable one.
Went over to Chye's room for the cake cutting session (oh yes we didn't do it earlier...) and we removed all the posters before going to FongSeng for supper. Ah at peace again.
Topsy turvey.. ups and downs.. mixed emotions. Happy Birthday Chio.

Pleasant Surprise
Monday, January 17, 2005
I was preempting all sorts of punks and stunts that could happen when I go back to hall later in the day.. though I really want to be surprised, I was after all the mastermind behind Wenlee's, Suzanne's, Xiangying's, Yiling's, Gabriel's and Mark's ponding and shampooing session.. so I have to be... on guard. And MaFBrothers denying planning anything after Yaohui's attempt to keep Lixiang quiet heightened my spideysenses too..
Never did I expect them to appear outside my house. Cheers to Jingwen, Suzanne, Mark, Gabe, Shyuan, Felicat, Francis, SuKiang, Kaisiang, KayPing and William for the very very pleasant (and most importantly of all clean) surprise.. though I sinfully went for fries at FongSeng after that.. oh wat the hell. I'm 22!
So as I adjourn to my bed I prepare myself to what I hope to be an exciting day ahead.. as Bong's MSN nick states.. 'BONG~~~to chio: u can run, but u can't hide!!! muahahaha'
放马过来吧!
Thanks to all early wishes. Happy Birthday Chio!

Revamped
Sunday, January 16, 2005
And so I changed the layout of my blog.. as what I had wanted to do for so long.. the garfield blog was too dark.. wanted something brighter.
Though this skin is uncomfortably girly.. (blogskins categorised it under masculine...) I guess it's a little getting used to. Anyhow anyway there's no qualms about my sexuality haa..
Shout out if you can't stand this skin. And provide me an alternative.

Drama
Friday, January 14, 2005
Daniel Ong was saying "不懂有没有缘看到 Jasmine?" and he saw her indeed during MnO lecture.. or so was what Gabe told me....
After Maths lecture.. was pondering whether to support soccer.. but was turned off by the fact that I had to go alone. So I took the offer of going with Francis and Gabe (by car) after his sepak captains meeting.
On the way to SRC for the sepak meeting, met Beidi who was going for work in Munchie Monkeys. 5 bucks an hour. Not bad. Maybe I will wanna work there soon.
TH and already led SH 3-1. 17 mins left. No point going. Went to YIH study lounge to sleep while I waited.
Lalalala.. so Gabe came and the match was already over anyway. 3-1 it was. And so we decided to head back to hall.
And guess who we saw on the way out of YIH?
"Thought you drove home?"
"No lah, I'm meeting my friend for dinner..."
"What friend?" I wanted to ask but I didn't have the guts to. After all it was a Friday. Army guys book out on friday nowadays.
And after exchanging goodbyes some guy was singing with the guitar at the entrance of YIH. It was truely excellent singing. And how apt the lyrics were...

Tired Tired Tired.. for 2 days already.
Yesterday.. free day (no Computing lab).. went to swim in the morning and yes the sun was FANTASTIC.. strange phenomenon for this time of the year but I'm not complaining haa.. then it was lunch, sleep then road relay training. Cheered for Sheares Basketball which they trashed Raffles Hall and it was the first time I experienced the Sea of Orange feel.. In HwaChong we cheered because we had to cheer.. or had to lead the cheers.. but now I somehow felt that we had to win.. and because I'm not leading the cheers and the cheering crowd is compact and sort of united.. the feeling is just so different.. Of course cheering with the MaFBrothers gang makes it all the more fun..
And I fell asleep while loading Hall Opening photos.. too shacked out. (I really wanted to blog last nite)
Hit the pool again today. Chem Eng Principle lecture from 4-6 which turned out to be one of the lousiest lectures ever.. Being incredibly soft (someone tell him to hold the mic when he's talking instead of clipping it onto his collar), it doesn't help that he doesn't know how to use the LASER POINTER! As in he was explaining "So the catalyst goes in here (swings his laser pointer)... and they are regenerated here (swings his laser pointer again)" But he doesn't realise that there's no red dot on the screen!! And so the whole LT was squinting their eyes trying to find exactly which "here" he's ranting about all day. Someone tell him to press the little button on the laser pointer to shoot the laser.
Anyway I had the crazy idea of the Chem Engineers from SHeares Hall to wear the bright Orange IHG T-shirt to lecture and jiooed Summer, Ryan they all.. and they did! haha.. quite AA.. no it was VERY AA because we were late for lecture some more. So it did create quite an impact when 7 of us bright orange peeps strolled into the LT to join Yiling and Yingying (who were also in bright orange). Wanxin told me it's more interesting watching us stroll in than listening to lecture haa..
Squash, Handball and Basketball semis tonight. Went to see Jianfa and Yanling play for squash then proceeded on to Basketball. Well, Jianfa and Yanling won their games but overall Squash got kicked out of the semis. Handball girls lost to TH which I kinda regretted watching the match after Chye kept on raving about Weiling mesmerising the whole court.
Basketball semis it was.. and we TRASHED Eusoff! Thought it would be a tough fight but it turned out so much in our favour.. even Tat said "Eusoff 有这样烂 ah?" and Weijie said "Sheares Basketball 有这样厉害 meh?" I suppose they are. Victory is sweet. Good luck for their final showdown with THem once more..
The day was over.. or so I thought.. until Chye came up with the crazy idea of doing 100 push-ups. And crazily we did.. found an obscure corner in the hall and 4 of us started doing 100 push-ups. Now that I think about it.. it's quite dumb. Haha.. but that again.. it's always like us to do stupid things out of the blue. (I still have the flabby bye-bye arms though. Yeah I just checked.)
I'm going to sleep soon.. so darn tired. Something is wrong with me these few days.. People prick me off easily.. strangely especially to closer friends. Though I'm trying very hard not to show anything.. maybe it's just the start of school causing hormonal imbalance.. maybe it's too many streneous activities in a day.. maybe i'm too poor.. maybe I'm too fat...
Seriously. My stomach is growling now and I only have $50 in my POSB (just because my father transferred $90 to buy textbooks.) Think the way out is to hit the bed.
Donations anyone?

Everything that happened today...
Wednesday, January 12, 2005
Gosh gosh gosh I haven't blogged since New Year!
Too busy.. but so many things have happened.. Actually the 2 major events Chrisco and Hall Opening are finally over.. regret not blogging about them soon after the event but was either too tired or too busy.. or too low-morale becuase of bidding slips.. I'll fill in the blanks soon.. (changing the date of entry to earlier than this entry of course).. Coz I wanna read back my blogs next time and remember all these wonderful memories...
So back to the present.. And the 2nd day of school just ended. I cleaned up my room.. (vacummed, mopped, wiped...).. Rearranged the furniture (actually it's only shifting the bedhead to the window).. Reconnected all my gadgets.. Hung up all the decorations (mainly Hall Opening stuff.. repositioned the sign 'Chio' outside my door.. my Knights of Valour poster..).. and most importantly I hung up a whiteboard in my room! Haa Think it's quite a nice Important-Urgent matrix I used to have in my office.. hope it gets my life in order.
Woke up sick though. Wonder why. Runny nose the whole day.. which strangely cured itself by afternoon. And yes.. 2nd day of lessons.. in which i cockedly didn't bring my notebook so couldn't copy notes at all..
Finally got all the stuff from my brother so I can photostat for Wenxu.. Been procrastinating on that for so long.. and it's time I become a good tutor and seriously pull up her 'O'-Level grades...
So it was tuition from 7.30 to 9.30.. and I figured out my way to Cocco Latte (with lotsa lotsa help from passers-by) and arrived there at 11pm.. Took my drink and tried to dance. Music sucked.. everyone was off.. and I reluctantly left at midnight. Refused to eat (against my New Year Resolution) so went straight back to hall.
And so I wasted another $10 buying the bash ticket.. a rather precious amount now that I have less than $50 left. Yes I've already sinfully started to tap into my reserve account. EMILY ARE YOU READING THIS?? I WANT MY $300++ BUCKS BACK!

Happy New Year 2005!
Saturday, January 01, 2005
I just got home from countdown.. actually it was not much of a countdown.. by the time we rushed from Burger King @ Millenia Walk to Esplanade (in an alarming 7 minutes!) they just finished counting. The counting was so soft.. probably observing silence for the Tsunami victims I guess... Then we went to eat.. coz toad was hungry (again.. like he ate at the Suntec Food Court and at BK and he's hungry again) But he's not fat.. so he has all the reasons to eat haha (bimbo chio talking here) So it's 2005 already.. and my new year resolutions shall be:
- I will not be late for appointments anymore (except lectures.. when it's useless to be early.. and xy's always late also haa..)
- I will raise my cap to a decent mid-4 value.
- I will be 65 kg by the end of the year.. quite reasonable I think.. means losing 0.5kg a month haa.
Anyway I visited Zhuanquan today.. who's suffering from cancer. For those who doesn't know.. Zhuanquan is a Chinese High band junior of mine who's 20 years old and realised he's got cancer in August. He's undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy now.. hair's half gone.. but he looks fine. I always thought that we're all too young to have cancer knocking on our doors.. but well.. And he doesn't have a family history of cancer as well.. How unpredictable can life be? And how fragile it is too...
So it was a major gathering for friends I haven't seen for a long long time.. Jiehao from my batch.. Zhuanquan and Yanhui.. who were 1 year junior.. Julian and Kanxing.. who were 2 years junior.. and Kok Wee, HongGuan and Gerald..1 year junior from Euphonium and Percussion respectively. It was like being forced back in time.. all of them look the same just that they are enlarged (taller.. probably only me grew fatter). Jiehao and I were saying that we totally lost contact with our seniors while the juniors still bother to remember us.. this group of guys was the exact group when we were in command last time (Sec3 days..).. Days of sectionals every wednesday and main band every Friday.. days of the smelly band room beside the field and the brand new Music Practice Hall.. days when I was student conductor.. days of new instruments.. days of SYF Central Judging where we got Gold once again..
We made it a point to visit ZQ once a month.. yeah which means a monthly gathering as well. How sweet.
I'm officially a poor man. I have $35 bucks in my bank account. Think EZLink is going to take away $20 soon.
Class 95 is playing such nice songs ar night. Oh gosh it's going to be morning soon!
