Hahaha, Lifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is great!
I can't wait for the 3 weeks backpacking trip to Aussie next May.
I think I pretty much got my 2011 New Year resolution figured out :P

And yes I recently accomplished my Third 2010's resolution
" I wanna fly to Phuket with my budds!"

What an epic trip...
Definitely a trip that everyone will still remember many many years down the road.
Here are 2 pictures and 3 video parts of the trip, enjoy!

Video Parts:

To end things offfffffffffff
here's a picture of me skydiving in Cairns 7 months later :D
hahahaha, byeeeee!

I'm back again :)

Been so long since I wrote on this dead space.
This shows how long it has been since the last time I actually sat down and did a proper reflection.
I think from now on I'll prolly write more,
before I start losing myself.

I think most of us will agree that

"who we are today as a person
is because of what happen yesterday"

The past indeed defines a man.

But never blame people who judge you because
commoners will never experience and understand what you went through.

And from today onwards
I promise myself
that I will try to change.

Just gotta find back that drive I had when I was 16!
peace out people.

Cab Uncle

2010-06-03T09:12:00.001-07:00

I was in the cab on my way home
when the Uncle suddenly turn off the music and he asked me this:

"Boss, you all friends ah? Finish NS already?
Uncle find it very weird, last time me and my friends all very close.
Then after everyone get married already, all like go different ways.
Even got gathering also can't talk much, cannot be like last time already.
Why ah Boss, why? Uncle really cannot understand..
You remember what Uncle ask you today,
next time when you get married already then you will understand what Uncle say."

To be honest at this exact moment
I already know exactly how he is feeling.

What a cutely-confused cab Uncle I met today.
"Maybe next time when you get married Uncle also not around on Earth already."
That's his final farewell words before I got off.
How cute :)

2010-05-14T15:33:00.000-07:00

I really really miss my Camera,
Regret selling it away ;'-(

It started off as a random idea 3 years ago.
I saw like a couple of bulky cameras for sale in shop at Causeway
then god-knows why I decided to save up everyday and even had to beg the last $400 from my parents anddddd woah-lah, I finally got my first DSLR!

You know it's true that when you save up for something yourself,
you'll tend to treasure that item more.

I guess I have to be very determine from now onwards,
*Save up for my 7D and a freaking-long-over-due car license.*

And lately this thing has been on my mind for awhile now.
Why the fuck am I so shy?!
Why.. why.. why..
WHYYYYY

18 more days to braces!

You know actually blogs aren't the best form of medium to pen your thoughts.
That's a reason why a diary or a private blog is a must have :D hehheh.

Of cause like everyone else I caught both Iron Man and Ip Man 2.
And it's comfirmed, please don't argue :P IPMAN 2 is definitely way better!
(I like how modest Donnie Yen potrayed Ip Man in the film)

and yeah life is good when you have goals.
till then people.

before that,
I have a question for everyone.

If you have a another chance to relive your life again,
and you are only given only an opportunity to change one thing or event.
What would you change?

Gusti said: alot of things dood, alot of things.

LOL! BYEBYE!

Sometimes when I have the time I like to
read through ol' chat logs,
good ol' text messages
and flip through ol' photo albums.

Half-remembered
Drunken nights
The sun stayed up like a diamond in the sky

I woke up - where have you been?
I know I'm bored and my blood is pretty thin
But some nights I swear
There was magic in the air

James May from Top Gear got a ride onboard an U-2 Spy plane.

Watched this 2 videos before work today
and indeed the guy from Top Gear was a lucky chap.

I hope someone out there sees this and will know that
"I AM WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR A RIDE LIKE THAT!"

He said this right after the ride:

"Wow.. It's amazing.
It's not like you imagine,
It's not like being twice as high as an airliner.

It's like being in a complete different sphere of human activities.

And you forget about the helmet, the oxygen and everything.
You just see this..
It's just incredible.

If everyone can do that once,
it'll completely change the face of Global politics, Religion, Education
Everything."

Ciao.

2010-03-16T07:35:00.000-07:00

To love once is enough
Because doing it a second time is pointless
Almost baseless.

AND I HATE THE DREAM I HAD LAST NIGHT.
sigh

You guys can prolly see I have almost jiro pictures in all my latest post
so here's one,
Yesss.. we bought the same teeshirt and pants hahaha!

This is already the third time I actually learnt something from a young boy.
My younger cousin Jeffrey asked me this like really randomly on one of the family gathering.

"Eh, Louis kor kor I ask you ah.
Your father's life or your life more important?"

I had a "brain freeze" for a few seconds
and my thoughts were all over the place.
Deep down I know I was totally own by that simple question.

Instead I asked him back the same question,
"So Jeffrey, which is more important to you?"

He said this.
"Of cause my Papa one la stupid!
Without my Papa's life, where will got my life.

If you choose your life, you very selfish leh!"

wow...

*My other younger cousin argued,
"No! My life more important.
Who will carry on the Chen family's name without my life?"*

2010-03-09T08:07:00.000-08:00

sorry fo the lack of updates
cause i've been real busy fufilling my new year resolution lately.

my 7D plan is somewhat on hold, my funds are running like real low now because of all the partying, arghhh..
This is not the type of life I once wanted but Hey, I'm learning hahaha!

Just a few moments ago I was reflecting because of something that happened today.
And there's this one thing I remember I did 3 years which I regret ALOT.
I can't and don't think I ever will say what I did, but aiya nvm!
At least it's still a confession, I feel much better now..

Sometimes in life you'll be cruelly judge by a single action you made
and from then on you realise there's no way of turning back to reverse that action.

If I have only one wish,
I want everyone around me to be happy.
peace.

Yet another lesson learnt on my way to work.
Why do little kids always ask the simplest yet valuable question?

I was sandwiched between a bunch of shallow secondary school kids who think they own the world and an innocent bunch of primary school boys.

One of the little boys said this to his other three friends, "Why must I always alight alone? Can all of you accompany me for one round and let me alight first?"
I can't really make out what his friend's reply was, but from the look on the little boy's face it was obviously a nono.

It took me awhile to observe and I asked myself this,
"At the end of our Journey in Life, don't we all alight alone too?"

If that LRT ride reflects that little boy's life,
I hope he will learn that friends he made along the way will not be able to accompany him in the end.

Be brave and face your deepest fear.
Loneliness is only temporary;
it's only about you getting use to a foreign feeling you thought you hate.

Loneliness gives Man both time and the opportunity to spend time alone,
Ponder.

and Happy Lunar New Year peeps!
CIAO :D

Everybody Hurts

2010-02-09T07:19:00.000-08:00

When the day is long and the night,
the night is yours alone.
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

R.E.M

Lucky I got my little sketch book for company during work.
Ciao!

interchange

2010-02-03T20:02:00.000-08:00

A few days ago at the interchange while I was on my way to work in the morning I overheard a mom telling her son this, "Everyone just want to go to somewhere else."

"Interchange, Somewhere else".
These two words are indeed thought provoking. Humans are never contented with whatever they have in their hands.

Everyone have their own perception of interchanges and I will say it's something that all of us cannot avoid; we all have our very own medium to get us somewhere in life.
Afterall we are all here just to enjoy our short stay on Mother Earth while we wait for our turn to the afterlife.

The little boy might not be of age to understand the truth of the matter.
But for the words of wisdom,
Thank you "Mom", it was a great lesson.

Karma

2010-01-30T09:14:00.000-08:00

Autumn days may fade away
But memories will always stay the same

I guess what ever that is happening right now is part of the karma payment plan.
I use to read the causes and effects when I was really young,
honestly because the book was heavily illustrated and it was kind of special?

Took me almost two decades to realise it actually exist.
Just like how ripples are formed when a stone is dropped into a calm and still water,
an infinite energy created.

I shouldn't have mess with the karma police,
why didn't I understand this part of radiohead's song earlier?
"this is what you get
this is what you get
this is what you get when you mess with us."

Anyway this was what I was up to lately,
take care and pyepye.

2010-01-25T07:37:00.000-08:00

I rather have a decent conversation with a total stranger.

Decisions

2010-01-21T07:27:00.000-08:00

There comes a point in everyone's life when you'll have to make big decisions.
Decisions that will cause a major change in your current life.

After embarking on something new, you'll be left all alone to face a brand new world.
You will wonder, what fresh stuffs will you be experiencing in this next journey of your life?
Will it be another fruitful lesson learnt in time?
Or will it be a blast instead, way better than you already had before.

So here I am at the crossroad once again,
questioning myself what I really want for myself in the coming years.
Should I stop being a dreamer and start being a doer who doesn't reflect?

I don't know man, I honestly don't..

Whatever it is I feel that everything we do must be of a good purpose.
Not the type of purpose which people normally misinterpreted as self-gain.

That aside!
I'm like hooked on Taiwan serials now. Didn't know it was that entertaining, bwahahaha not as cheena as I thought it was leh, seriously. I got myself a new Idol also :P WILL WATCH MORE!
And I realise it's been a while since I post pictures up, I think I'm getting old and feel that sometimes good old words are still a better form of expression.

Well Well Well, Seeya!

it's not a question but a lesson learnt in time
for what it is worth, it was worth all the while..

Silence young one

2010-01-13T08:15:00.000-08:00

"I took uh, 42 years to write
and about 4 minutes to sing"

There's a yearning undefined
People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess

The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness..

There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down and hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside.

Don't be angry with people who are different
I learn that acceptance is noble
a feeling so great, it is indescribable

And I'm pretty much stressed out over FYP lately!
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp! No more EMPRO in my life please.......

2010-01-09T10:02:00.001-08:00

Time of the year again

2009-12-30T08:55:00.001-08:00

Time to review all my new year resolutions I wrote last year,

2008:
"Academic - I'll do my best for my Year 3 and get both my FYP and PP over and done with.
DB - Try my best to get into the main team.
Family - Spend more time with the people that always love me unconditionally.
Personal - Control my bad temper and learn to appreciate everyone.
Finance - Wait till I have like 10k before I start spending! (unrealistic hahahaha :P)"

Seems like I managed to accomplish most of them
except for my Bad Temper and Savings (I only got like 100 bucks left in bank now ;S) ahahaha.

So yeah, I conclude that 2008 is fruitful!

But this time for the coming 2010 I only have 1 resolution.
It's ganna be a secret cause it is something personal anddddd I thought it'll be more practical to have just 1 so I can focus on it better.
But if you wanna add "Enjoy life as much as I can" on the resolution list then yes! It'll be two.

Ehhh no wait, make it THREE! I wanna fly to Phuket with my budds!
Recently I got so inspired by this fine young lady I chanced upon on facebook.
Her profile pictures are full of her traveling around everywhere.
I wanna travel, I wanna see the world!

kbai! Happy holidays peeps,
and stay safe!

Hands Remember

2009-12-22T09:46:00.000-08:00

"Do you remember,
what things looked like when you were young?
The voice of an old friend,
or the notes to your first song?

Lately I've been feeling like the day has come.
You'll walk up to me and erase my memory.
Can't wait to feel brand new,
I cant wait to meet you again,
friend..

I think I must have known you in another life.
I think our rocking chairs used to rock together
all night.."

Chalet

2009-11-29T06:48:00.000-08:00

Lolol sorry for the past 2 days if I haven't been myself.
Don't know why I caught the emonemobug, but I'm fine now.

Just had a family chalet over the long weekend and I was really hoping that I could recharge myself from this break but in the end I fell sick instead -_- hahaha, goodness.
Been a long time since I spend time with my relatives, I remember last time all of us will meet up almost every weekend for gatherings. They still do now but I can't join them as often due to trainings and work.

That's why I'm in such a dilemma considering if I should continue paddling next year ARGHH!
I realised there's more things in life and I've been really selfish for this past 3 years.

That aside,
my brother, Derek and I accompanied Alvin to GAINT to shop for our BBQ on day 2.
LMAO it's the first time I actually shop for so much groceries, like about 3 trolleys full?!
I had fun honestly, shopping for food together with my cousins and brother is all I want to ask for in life :) Although the last night was kinda screwed up because of the dumb fever and flu. I still ENJOYED MYSELF! ALOT! Ciao peeps.

I'm proud to be in this team

2009-11-22T06:09:00.000-08:00

Sorry if you think that this post is emotional or gay I don't really care.

I really want to let it all out and partly because I'm listening to friends forever, the song we sang together under the bridge for our very first set yesterday.

Other people often question or even mock at us.
Why the hell are we putting so much effort in a sport for? Why are you sacrificing so much? Are you crazy, why do you wake up so early during weekends?
And a few of us even went to the extreme and put too much priorities on the sport so much so that they neglect their studies.

But we should never blame these people who question us,
because none of them can feel what we experienced, the adrenaline rush when you're racing down seat by seat chasing other boats who are ahead. After late night training you still drag yourself to school the very next day. The hell day when the captains try their level best to break that big ego you brought in when you first join the team. Never can they feel all of this.

And the most memorable one I had so far, the part when we said glory is FOREVER.
I teared at the word "forever" there's nothing to be shy about. Because this is the first time I can hear from everyone's voice how much they really want it. I can tell from how tightly you guys gripped each other and that fire burning in each of your eyes.

I'm sorry that this year's Regatta have to end this way. But I've totally no regrets.
I told some of you this, we might lose the medals but we gained something much more valuable.
A simple and pure word, Bond or some of you may call it friendship.

I finally feel the pain of being a year 4.
That is I have to see people from my very first batch leave in front of my eyes yet I can't do anything about it.
If there's anything I can keep, I want time to stay after the debrief when we're all happily throwing the year threes high up in the air. I will never forget everyone of them.

I know most of you will be lost after today's race although we know our next goal is POLITE.
But from today till then it's going to be a long and tough journey. Let's try to keep as close to our promise as possible and train as hard as we can without complains.

Lastly I want to thank the people who came down who support us.
Good to see people like andreuw, nich, firdaus, kia, louis lee, faris, ky and alvin.

This year my regatta ended in a loop, I ran with nich on the side supporting RP all the way till the finishing buoy like how I did during my year 1 days. I remember that time I was running with my camera snapping pictures.
Good times good times.

I'm proud to be in this team.
goodnight.

Let the poets cry themselves to sleep

2009-11-16T20:25:00.000-08:00

When the telephone was a tin can on a string
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me
You said you weren't afraid to die

The end of paralysis, I was a statuette
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed
The sound of loneliness makes me happier

And I never thought this life was possible
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for

brighteyes

Pee pee pee

2009-11-15T06:08:00.000-08:00

Finally met up with my relatives after so many weeks of trainings
and I'm so happy to see everyone there including Kevin.

Grrrrr and recently for the past 2 weeks my grades are dropping!
Must get back all my A's.
So many stuffs coming up,
Regatta, Batam trip and the one I'm looking forward to, a family chalet in 2 weeks time!! Woohoo :)

And to the guys teammmmmmmmmmm,
I thank all of youuuuuuuuuuuuu veryvery much
for making the UOB night such a memorable one. Although the laopasat satays abit not worth it la. But still I really appreciate and enjoyed every second of it.

Once again from the bottom of my heart, "thank you!"
6 more days guys 6 more days.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do.

It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone..

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

Yet another classic word beauty
byeeeee

By your side

2009-10-31T09:01:00.000-07:00

I had breakfast with my dad before training today.
I can't remember what we were talking about and he said this
"Louis, I think that you're very inferior."

Can't help but to agree..

I realise all these while whenever I'm put in a tough situation,
I always have zero confidence in myself.
I barely trust myself but instead allow all my negative thoughts to influence me.
I always doubt myself.

thinking too much is not good at all afterall..
please don't fight these hands that are holding you,
my hands are holding you.

Life is so short you know

2009-10-26T06:46:00.000-07:00

I was on the train today and I observed this particular fella for quite some time.
He got his earphones plugged in, eyes shut and he was leaning against the glass panel.
From his expression, I can clearly tell that
he is either in deep thoughts or he is praying for something.

Then I closed my eyes and I prayed too.
I pray to no god, I prayed:
"To whoever he is praying too, please let his wish come through"

Because he looks so sincere.

Only 27 days more and everything will be over.
I really really really hope I won't get boot out during this period.
I wanna fight together with my niggas.

Alrighty till then fellas, goodnight.

and i hope you find a perfect place
where skies are are beautiful all of the time,
it's all that matters pretty pretty.

I'm a loser!

2009-10-18T04:23:00.000-07:00

You'll always hear people telling you if you set a goal and work hard for it,
you'll definitely get what you want. But I don't think its true at all.

Sometime some stuffs are seriously beyond your capability.
No matter how hard you try, you just won't get it. There will always be problems that pop out along the way to bring you down. When I mean always, it always happen.

That's my life,
God-knows-why.

Bye.

Not trying to be pessimistic but realistic instead.
Words of wisdom oh words of wisdom.

I'm back home after a long long day.
Went over to help Alvin paint his new house after work.
Hahaha but when I got there, almost 3/4 of the house was already painted by the uncles ;P

Up to nothing much lately,
I'm praying really hard for both my seat in the boat and FYP RESULTS (AHHH!).

I'll leave you guys with some screenshots of veryveryvery old pictures from my uncle's video, ciao!! ;]

prolly 20 billion years ago?

it's funny how from simple things; the best things begin :)

what a wonderful world

2009-08-28T10:00:00.000-07:00

I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and you.
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white.
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night.
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

2009-08-26T06:07:00.001-07:00

and only i can see
what it means to be
sitting here in silence on my own

2009-08-21T23:25:00.000-07:00

People need someone to follow
because they can't accept that God is inside and not outside.
You're your own savior and only you can get to Enlightenment.
Believe in yourself because you are God, you must discover this to be truly at peace.

When the student is ready, the teacher will come.

Some youtube comments are just mind blowing,
This totally explained how I felt all this while, wow..

2009-08-20T10:02:00.000-07:00

My heart it skips a beat when I behold.
The light that's shining through your eyes of gold.
From heavenly blood you seem to spring,
from heavenly waters you can drink.

I'll meet you on a day that never ends
I'll greet you in a way that heaven meant.
You lay me down gently on the leaves
You cover me over in my sleep.

I never did say that I wish I could,
I never could pray because it's just no good.
I hope you don't break my heart of stone,
I don't wanna scream out loud and wake up on my own.

And as I close my eyes and when the sky turns red,
I realise just what you are.

You're an idler's dream and you're singing “shangri la..”
Shangri la, Shangri la, Shangri la~

Nightmares

2009-08-20T07:57:00.000-07:00

Rest assure, everything will be over soon.

No more dreams no more pain.
"Maybe one day we’ll wake up and realise that this will all just be a dream."

"Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?"

I believe Lucinda in Knowing wished she knew a little lesser.
Afterall, ignorance is bliss.
ciao, training!

last 2 lessons :(

2009-08-11T08:37:00.000-07:00

I spared some time exploring and revisiting my past,
the trails I once walked are still so fresh in my mind.

We had so much to catch up cause it's already been like 2 years since I last saw them.
Good times man, good times. We sould do it again real soon.

Sleep, training, ciao.
delilah i can promise you
that by the time that we get through
the world will never ever be the same.

2009-08-03T07:20:00.000-07:00

i'm a nerd, yay!

2009-07-30T09:00:00.000-07:00

as my guitar gently weeps,

Smells like autumn, smells like leaves;
you don't know that you'll rust and not belong so much
and then get left alone.
Glassy eyes and wooden teeth, the engine rusted in deep deep sleep.
It waits, and it waits, to awake.

2009-07-27T08:33:00.001-07:00

a soundtrack off "spirited away".
I remember I skipped school to watch it in the library.
I would love to hear it liveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

the thinker

2009-07-23T00:27:00.000-07:00

One day after school I was watching Night In the Muesuem 2 in the library,
there was this part where the statue of "the thinker" came to life.

I was inspired so I decided to draw it in paint and of cause edited it in ps.
byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee UT.

we lost our lines

2009-07-21T21:19:00.000-07:00

When I move to my new flat I was very happy
but when I worked out that the whispering voices I can hear when I put my head under water in the bath belong to dead people I wasn't happy any longer.
Particularly because I realise that everytime I put my head under the water when I had a bath
the voices were slightly louder than the time before.

I tried not putting my head under the water when I had a bath
but every fucking time curiousity got the better of me.
And I had to try it just for a second just to check
and of cause even half a second if that sort of thing would bother anyone

I keep asking the landlord to put a shower in,
but he says things like
"What do you want to shower for? That's a lovely old bath, that's an antique that is.
Look at it, it's Victorian, you pay top dollars for one of those in the reclaimation yard"

Hah..it's alright for him.
He hasn't got fucking dead people talking to him everytime he washes his hair

"sm"

I despise myself too

2009-07-19T03:02:00.001-07:00

Surviving sunday.

Everything that is happening around me is very distracting.
I know the root of problem but I'm still stuck.

So nowadays I rarely think about the right stuffs.

Give me back my piece of mind,
I wanna start thinking again!
I don't wanna loose my juice.

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Saturday, May 20, 2006 wow so long ago since the ROM,
and yesterday they finally had an official wedding at Marina Mandarin.
Very happy for the both of them and may their marriage be a smooth sailing one.

Not in a mood for words, here are some pics I took over the 2 days.

2009-07-05T05:17:00.000-07:00

I’m still in the midst of understanding.

I feel so cold, calm and relax now :)
Not like how worked up I was in the afternoon, punching almost everthing.
Thank you for the weather!

SIWF POLITE & SDBF 09 came and passed
better enjoy now before training resumes, ahaha.

So many stuffs coming up, bbq's next week and not forgetting Alvin and Debbie's Wedding!
I just got done with their wedding video, come to think about it
it has been really long since they've been together.
That is what pictures can do to you;
they bring you back in time and let the good ol' scene replay in your mind as you watch the slideshow roll.

I can't wait for friday!!

Last friday gooti and I went to kinokuniya and I saw this meaningful line
in a very small yet thick book full of quotes.
This one is really nice it says:
"real pleasure is not the opposite of pain, it is the absence of it."

2009-06-30T09:07:00.000-07:00

never thought it'll end up this way
never did it once cross my mind for the entire year.

i just did the most unimaginable action i never thought i would.
if god only grant me one wish in my entire life,

"i wish i can go back to those carefree and simple times"

that very first question;
tom jerry or me.

You'll be remembered

2009-06-23T17:37:00.000-07:00

Rest in peace Gong Gong,
you'll be in a much better place now.

I remember years back when I was in primary school
I brought chinese chess over to your place and we played together.

to the team:
sorry if I really cannot make it down to polite or sdbf.
I'll try my level best to rush down in time if I can after the cremation.
Do yourself proud boys; make sure all those sacrifices are worth it.

2009-06-23T09:05:00.000-07:00

we're all born happy.
we're all born simple and pure.

Happy birthday to myself.
Thank you everyone who wished me, I really appreciate it! :)
This time I'll be a bit thick skin and ask the team for a birthday present,
all I ask for is that all of us will give our best this coming Fri, Sat and Sun.
And I also have a simple wish that is for my grandfather to be able to enjoy peace.

Life's great when I have a new direction,
like that part of my life when I finally got used to shifting over to Punggol from Tampines.
After awhile I realise how relaxing and beautiful Punggol is.

"it takes shit to make bliss"

Nostalgia

2009-06-13T08:31:00.000-07:00

Lol I'm really really really bored so I decided to do a post.

We're like talking about our primary school days at subway.
Some of our stories are really very hilarious.

I remember last time when I was around primary 6
I'll cover the top of my study table over with my pikachu blanket (i'm still using that now) and my brother and sister will also do the same.
We'll stay under the desk under the blankets for the entire day doing nothing all the way from morning till my parents come home. I don't know how I actually did that, lol!

I'll always play soccer with my brother at home and most of the time we never fail to break my mom's "fa cai mao" or something on the altar, hahaha then we'll be like so nervous and dread the moment
when the clocks strikes 5.30, my parents will come home = we gg.

There's this time when I actually bungee-jumped off the top my double decker bed.
I tied my legs together with the same pikachu blanket and my brother and sister were at the top (supposedly they will support the weight incase anything goes wrong).
When I jumped the next thing I saw was the edge of the other bed below and of cause.. I hit my head, hahahahaha! We had a hard time coming up with a lie.

There's this period of time I'll lie to my Mom I have projects after school.
Of cause it was a lie, my class mate and I will run to the pond behind my school. We'll jump into the pond as it was only below knee level and start feeding the fishes.

I'll be so dam piss if someone calls when I'm playing runescape.
That time we're still using 56K dailup yo! Modem with that weird dial tone, lmao.
Everytime someone calls my entire game will disconnect.

My sister and I will sleep with my maid in the master room.
I remember this particular night I couldn't sleep we stayed up singing F4 songs.
Yes F4, ahhahaha!

After school my sister and I will watch banana in pajamas on kids central while we eat corn porridge my maid cooked.

The times we beg our maid not to tell our parents about all the naughty stuffs we did.
One day she suddenly told my dad,
Sir what is "knnbcb fuck you and kaninah?"
My dad said, "Why?"
She replied, "louis, joanne and colin always use that on me."
LOLOLOLOL OWNING, yes I got caned of cause.

louis is getting old.
sigh.

anyway, watch this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Woy_n3aivkI&feature=related
if you have the time.
it's a real nice love story I watched quite awhile ago.
I recently rewatched it and it still warms my heart.
It'll be in Thai but fraid not there's subtitle.

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeya!

dear louis

2009-06-11T09:32:00.000-07:00

let today's hunger serve as a reminder
never ever to be disrespectful ever again.

you must be a better person.
i mean it.

Weird dream

2009-06-08T07:45:00.000-07:00

Recently I had this weirdest dream of my entire life.

I got sent to prison for god knows why
and I was being escorted into this big big room.
All around me are Malays leaning against the wall checking me out.
I walked up to one and twisted his finger until he begged me to stop.
Out of a sudden all of them became dota heroes,
then I jumped out of the window and swam across a river LOL?!?!
I walked into a cafe and saw this man drinking coffee and I asked him
"Hey hello, do you want to buy a treant protector?"<- A dota hero.

My god, my dreams are seriously getting weirder and weirder!

Anyway SIWF, POLITE and SDBF is coming up,
now it's finally my turn to earn myself a medal together with the team!
lolol below are some random screen shots over at jaffir's place
we went on msn and start webcamming with random people
showing them the "wave of fuck" ahahaha.
seeu!

Handphone Pictures!

2009-06-07T08:07:00.000-07:00

I think it's been years since I last took pictures with my handphone.
So here are some shots I took over the weekend and of cause I did alot of crazy editing.
Taking pictures with a lousy 2 megapixels handphone
really bring back fond memories of my secondary school days.

"I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons,
finally content with a past I regret.
There comes a time in everyone's life
when all you can see are the years passing by
and I have made up my mind that those days are gone"

Sleeeeeeep!

A door is an opportunity

2009-05-29T10:02:00.000-07:00

Here are some random shots that I took for a school module and the last one out of pure boredom!

And also I'm like so envious of Gusti's new 5D.
Oh god how I wish I was just a little bit richer :P
pyepye.

dreamy

2009-05-19T07:19:00.000-07:00

"and a new day will dawn, for those who stand long"
- stairways to heaven.

Sometimes I ask myself is a perfect life all about goal settings?
I doubt so because I don't feel perfect at all after achieving one of my many resolutions.
The "lose gain lose gain" cycle that life adopts is unfair.

Sometimes I ask myself is it wrong to expect?
I do not want to live under expectations anymore.

"hehehe" that dreamy voice in my head mocked at me again.

FLICKR

2009-05-13T23:15:00.001-07:00

http://www.flickr.com/photos/louiseechen/
Decided to try out flickr,
There for more pictures! bye.

Punggol again and again

2009-05-10T06:02:00.000-07:00

After training, I wanted to go around alone shooting on "loneliness"
but half way through my 965 ride Gusti called me up and wanna tag along cause he was going for church at 6 somewhere in Sengkang.
Derek came along too, that's what my niggas are for!! Ahahaha.

Only got 1 shot that fits the theme I intended to have today.
Upload the rest later!
Happy mother's day mama.

2009-05-07T23:25:00.000-07:00

i'll throw this rock far far away.

2009-04-29T07:40:00.000-07:00

derek says:
but i still wanna hear her voice
hear her talk non stop
bring her to watch fireworks
do things tgt
ask her to come and watch my competition
hold her hands
hug her
smell her hair
call me when she feel like scolding people
bring her to mount faber
hendenson wave
genting
cruise
call me when she's bullied
go for star gazing
eat her food when she cant finish
cook and bake for her
strum guitar and sing for her
by her side when she's sick
lie down on the bed with her
woke up and saw her beside me
someone to nag and scold me
send her home everytime
go fly kite at any national park
cycle
blading
swimming
movie
and last but not least bring her to esplanade and chill
thats her fav place

that is derek for you.
that is hope for you.

so many things left undone..
i know it sucks when no words
can explain this feeling of emptiness inside you.
you're not alone.

capturing the feelings that most of us just miss

2009-04-22T06:50:00.000-07:00

I was bored so I went out alone again taking pictures,
this time walking in the opposite direction.

the pictures pretty much sum up my now "colorless" life :P

ciao.

and fyp is a borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre.

2009-04-18T09:43:00.000-07:00

my heart still warms
when ever i think bout the times
we had last time
you know this warm feeling
you get
when you remember and think bout good stuffs

Childish with a capital C, tsk tsk.

Around Punggol

2009-04-17T07:35:00.000-07:00

Enjoy the pictures,

I went out alone in the evening today taking pictures
surviving on a half-life battery + a faulty knob.
Brought along my ipod and a calm mind :D

2009-04-13T08:11:00.000-07:00

I don't always read books till the veryvery last page. The most I go on nightfall was like 3/4 way through and I was already way pass the due date.

I've just finish "The 5 people you meet in heaven" till the verrry last page and I think I'm going to re-read it again, this is my type of story.
The type of story I can sit down and really read through it word for word, relating it to my life.

I know I know, you guys will sure say, " Wha lao Eh, so long ago already this book, now then read."

You see the point is not about who had read it first.
It's not about when you read it.
It's really about understanding and relating all the different values you had picked up during the process into your daily lives.

If you haven't read the book,
Here's some extracts I would like to share.

"Lost love is still love, It takes a different form, that's all.
When those senses weaken, another heightens.
Memory. Memory becomes your partner.
You nature it, you hold it. You dance with it."

"Forgive, Forgive.
Do you remember the lightness you felt when you first arrived in heaven?
Eddie did. Where is my pain?
That's because no one is born with anger. And when we die,
the soul is freed of it."
Holding anger is a poison.
It eats you from inside.
We think that by hating it's a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us.
But hatred is a curved blade.
And the harm we do, we do to ourselves"

see you :)

Haha I came back from work and saw my Sis on webcam with Phoebe.

and

Russell introduced to me fmylife.com
these are 2 of their many top fmls, I find it very hilarious.
go check out the rest! (supposedly to be real life accounts la)

1)Today, I heard my sister masturbating in her room.
I took the dog around the block to get out of the house,
and I came back to see her leaving her room... my electric toothbrush in her hand. FML

2)Today, my boss called me into his office
to show me the web site of a potential business partner.
When he began to type 'Virginia' into google,
it auto-completed his search with his recent search for 'virgin boy assholes'.
I have to go on business trip with him tomorrow. I'm a young guy. FML

hahahah, byebye!
so why won't you kill me, so i die happy!

Genting Trip 01 to 04 April 2009

2009-04-07T07:25:00.000-07:00

Wokay I'm back in Singapore, sorry for the late update :P

Actually I wanted to do a very detailed update on the happenings as we noted down most of the memorable events in a small little journal. But sorry ah I'm really really lazy after all the pictures and video editing hahaha!

The bus ride there was really fast, to me at least. I think because I like pig ah sleep all the way.
Kwoky and I star gaze in the bus for quite awhile.
Seriously it's been a long long time since I've seen so much stars.
There're like fire flies following us, lol.

We went down to KL on the very first day and I got myself a new pair of adidas shorts and singlet. Then we headed back to Genting where we had our dinner and booked in.

We spend the entire of day 2 in the theme park and the night at safari disco.
Here are some pics, the rest can be found in my facebook album!
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/album.php?aid=116429&id=750531141

I really wanna take this chance to thank all of you.
The entire bunch who make this trip so memorable!
Remember to save up!! We're either going kayaking at Phuket or M'sia again!
seeeeeeeya, muacks.

2009-04-01T01:04:00.000-07:00

There's a new world somewhere
they call The Promised Land
And I'll be there someday

2009-03-30T05:42:00.000-07:00

2 more days to heaven!
I can't wait :)

2009-03-24T05:30:00.000-07:00

Most old uncles I saw at the park have both their hands behind their back.
All of their faces are usually constipated, in deep thoughts.

What's all this virtual reality about? They wondered.
Why have I been suffered.

little did they know.. little did they know..

There are many stuffs I regretted doing.
There are many stuffs I regret not doing.
There are times I wish I can tell you everything,
Everything that could change everything.

Sigh

the "used"

2009-03-15T06:40:00.001-07:00

that's it i want a change,
it sucks when people don't appreciate.

2009-03-10T08:41:00.000-07:00

"Clearly I am a passerby but I'll find a place to stay,
I'll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins."

2009-03-05T07:36:00.000-08:00

Just think of the trees; they let the birds perch and fly,
with no intention to call them when they come
and no longing for their return when they fly away.
If people's hearts can be like the trees, they will not be off the Way.

"to a mind that is still, the entire universe surrenders."

hah, wow..

Pulau Ubin

2009-03-04T06:43:00.000-08:00

I realised recently I've been busy typing confessions so much so that I actually neglected my dear blog, hahahaha.

Not long ago the team went to PulauUbin for cycling. It's been a longlong time since I've been there.
I remembered the last time I went there, I was only like primary 2 or something.
My dad told me, "bu yao pa, trust wo, hold tight tight won't fall one".
That time I was sitting on the "kid's seat" infront of him between his hairy arms.
The next thing I know was already on the muddy ground, lmao!

Everything was fine till hockmeng fell down, honestly I was abit affected ah.
His face leh, tsk tsk.
But nevertheless this trip's still a success!

and before I forget, Happy belated birthday to Andreuw and Christine!

I'll leave you guys with the pictures. Ciao!

For the past few weeks we went:

2. Holland V
3. Pool + chill + lepak
and many more lol.

Just got back from Ehub. Lol dam embarassing! I fell down while attempting my first shot at the pins, I was too "focus" that I accidently stepped into the restricted slippery boundary, HarHarHar.

can't wait for pulau ubin

Every year my dad will write his words of widsom on the back of my angbao.
I find this year's quote very meaninful.
"Chi - ren suo zhi bu neng
De - ren suo zhi bu neng"

Obviously I don't undersand what that bunch of chim chinese words meant la,
so I got him to explain. He says it meant that
"if I can endure what other people can't endure
I will gain what other people can't gain."

Happy chinese new yearrrrrrrrrrrr.

Reunion dinner

Too bad Alvin can't be here in Singapore to have the reunion dinner with us.
Seeeeeeeee you in 2 weeks!

The Chinese will "sou ye" on CNY so that their parents will live to a ripe old age.
