haha goodness. i am totally and utterly bored with wordpress. it’s total lack of music embed functions is beginning to tick me off. so yes I shall fly off and find another blog site to create on.

probably xanga or blogdrive (won’t go back to blogger) and it’s up to you to figure out the URL good luck I’ll tell you when it’s up(: heh.

yes and I must admit there have been a fair share of memories on this blog too.

for better endings.

haha OMG. I have to say I was totally blown away by the queen concert last night. but first. recap of the past 2 days which have utterly exhausted me.

MONDAY

okay so went to school in the morning, my mum got pissed off with me cos I got into the car at 6.55. wtf. anyway, yeah. school as per normal. slept through a lesson I think:D heh. anyawy, yeah at 3 quickly ran out of school after frantically searching for tabs for Funeral of Hearts by HIM which we ended up not using in the end. hahaha. met ian, cabbed to bugis to jam. Our freaking vocalist backed out the day before the damn audition! like wtf. haha. anyway, we jammed an hour and a bit. oh yeah josh joined as our vocalist. unfortunately, he wasn’t too into the idea of singing Maroon 5. well yeah. we tried funeral of hearts, and we died. utterly. I mean wtf. so we carried on with Won’t go home without you by Maroon 5. jammed pretty well I must say, loads better than the other day. at about 4.45 derek josh and I stumbled around looking for a cab while ian went to meet leland. got back to school at 5.05. josh and I ran to the chapel (well not really we changed our shoes etc first) then went there. somehow servers managed to do a final run through 20 minutes before mass. I have to say I like the school cassocks. black(: haha. anyway, yeah. somehow rushed and got the thurible(incense thingy) before mass, ran and joined the procession. Mass went pretty well I must say considering we were so stupidly confused before the mass. burned my hand with the thurible while doing incensing. Mass started at 6, finished around 8. haha. after that hung around the hanoi booth, then went to watch the choir concert. hahaha.. aiyo, some people can’t even go recieve flowers from people, and even worse some people are so scary. haha(more like 1 person for each category) haha. anyway, after the choir concert ran up to the drama thing.(I was just helping to narrate one of the scenes) waited around. waited some more. stupid thing got pushed back 1 hour amazing right. and you know what was the funniest thing. for all I was waiting around, I went to use the toilet. then got held back by some people. haha and when I returned to my classroom, the whole freaking crowd was gathered outside my classroom(or scene) and I was liek OH SHIT. and inside all the actors were all like where’s ben teo! haha so I er. confidently? (stupidly more like) strode into the classroom and strode out with all the air of a ______(fill this in yourself) I have to say even though I did it impromptu it was pretty good:D haha. kudos to everyone who acted. after that hung around, walked round the stations, saw dr. underwood doing his elvis impersonation again:P haha. narrated once again, caught a ride from ian kwan home. got home at 11++ was so damn tired I fell asleep. which led to…

TUESDAY

Woke up late cos I was so tired. set my alarm for 6.15, I ended up waking up at 6.45. damn. ended up taking bus to school. heh. school went by normally, was pretty low(as in not high) for most of school. slept again( damn I should really stop sleeping through lessons, but I think I caught what I was supposed to so oh well) heh. anyway, after school ONCE AGAIN rushed to SJI for the auditions, I don’t believe we had to restart the damn song THRICE. hahaha oh well thanks josh for taking up vocalist on such notice. after that went back to school, then after chinese remedial(which I skipped cos of auditions) we went to Sai Ming’s house. played PS3 etcetc. er. yeah. quite retarded skate and shit. showered; gay shit in Sai Ming’s room. I WONDER WHY BRYAN AND SAI MING TOOK SO LONG TO COME DOWN FOR DINNER(: heh. after that we went to the Esplanade for Queen.

AND OMG. I SWEAR. that is singularly THE best concert i’ve gone to in my life. better than santana and the rest. I mean santana’s good and shit but yeah. okay fine I’ll say best musical(: the male and female leads have the best voices I’ve heard in a long time. does the late Mercury a lot of justice(: wonderful I have to say. but the storyline’s kinda twisted but who gives a damn. first time I’ve freaking seen the whole esplanade lift their hands and start swaying. haha. concert finished at 11, by the time I got home it was almost 12.

wonderful 2 days hasn’t it? haha. shit I’ve wasted a lot of time on this blog post. oh wells. I’ve been taking a trip down memory lane. (mainly through Lianne’s blog(: ) haha anyway, will post tidbits of the past in the next one. till next time!

Who wants to live Forever – Queen

Theres no time for us
Theres no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
From us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever….?

Theres no chance for us
Its all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

Who dares to love forever?
When love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today

Who waits forever anyway?

Interesting name for a band no? haha. today was spent shut up in a jamming studio somewhere in bugis trying desperately to perfect a song on our first jam session. (Won’t go home without you by Maroon 5 for the curious) hahaha. quite funny. Ian, Derek, Daniel and I. and I have to say I didn’t know Derek existed and hadn’t talked to daniel before today. hahaha. but it was pretty cool. Daniel’s vocals(poor fella, had to compete with 2 guitars and drums), Derek’s drums. and Ian’s insisted on playing rhythm. hahaha. Audition’s on Tuesday and we met up today naively expecting to be able to perfect it within 2 hours. haha I have to say it sounds a hell of a lot better than when we started but not good enough:/

haha retarded. okay I’ve not got much to say. I can’t believe it’s April. March just flew by. haha sigh! March 17 is a date I doubt I’ll ever be able to forget:/ sigh. but yes nvm:D I think looking at now and before the hols I’m much happier now(: for some reason. hahaha.

but yes JAMES. I officially can’t watch step up 2 without breaking down(in one way or another) tried to watch the final bit. goodness.

hello I am utterly stoned. I don’t know seems to be the most common phrase of today:/

and thus, once again. I DON’T KNOW how I’m feeling right now. such a freaking rollercoaster today you know. and I’m rather hating myself. I DON’T KNOW damnit sigh. and I have to say something’s really not helping right now I’m feeling so crappy and I JUST don’t know what to do anymore damnit.

Thanks to those who’re talking me through this though. helping loads:/ ~~F*CK.~~

for some reason I feel like I’m caught in suspension man:/ sigh I don’t know what to do anymore you know:/ I hope it’s not like what happened last time, I don’t wanna lose you. and I could type out a long paragraph of bull shit but I really think the sincerest words I can say are I don’t wanna lose you. and I know I’m not gonna be the one talking you through this, as much as I wish I was. but I hope that when you decide what to do. well I don’t know I can say what I want but yeah. I guess it’s right to say that I’ve been rushing this through and I know that’s my mistake. I hope you’ll give me a second chance:/ sigh. and I don’t know why this always seems to happen to me. well I don’t know. I don’t know whether to leave you alone, I don’t know whether to SMS you, to give you a call. and I know my call just now can’t have helped because today I’m such a wreck. but yes I mean everything I said to you just now. I wish we could all be living in a perfect world. I hate second guessing everything I hate it all. I really hope you’ll read this but yeah. sigh I hope everything’ll be okay.:/ ily<3

hahaha okay this is a rather over-due post but yeah I was busy yesterday. hahaha CAMP LASALLE was the BOMB. even though I had a group from hell. hahaha. okay fine they’re actually okay (when they get serious – which only happened once) hahaha.but it’s such a weird idea a leadership camp for PRIMARY school kids. hahah oh well it was fun(:

I was the main facil for FAITH(: my co facil was jon pong (haha thanks a lot – I made him do a fair bit of work(: ) and my attache was Ian Rezel. hahaha. so fun la my group thank goodness they were both people i know so it wasn’t too tough. hmm let’s see if I can remember my group members names:

Mohd. Ameen, Scott, Yong Ting, Celine, Stuart, Catharina, Dylan, Shannon, and er. SHIT I keep forgetting this one guy’s name. damnit I can picture his face but not him. okay i’ll fill that in later.. hehh.

anyway. yeah it was pretty fun I think the most meaningful takeaway is that F you see up there. it’s part of the group banner that the group made at the start of the camp. it’s like so meaningful cos every group member gets a piece of the banner, and takes it with them. sighh. lol. group photo when i get it!!

yeah camp was fun. ah well(: 10,000 BC tonight:D and Step Up 2 next week((:

I make so many mistakes everyday, and I hope this isn’t another mistake, it’s been a while but I hope that this’ll turn out okay.(:

now you’re gone, there’s an empty place in my heart.

energeticx — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 03:39:32 +0000

haha. back from legion camp. (well I didn’t go for the full thing just the first night when it was just QOAS) hahaha and holy shit it was fun.

before camp went with ian to go buy laces.:D hahaha my shoes now have very nice pink and purple laces (: haha. then went to meet the legion people at toa payoh. watched meet the spartans on ian’s phone while waiting. omg the movie is DAMN lame la. but it’s funny. (: heh. ate dinner at mac’s. then at like 8.15 we went back to school.

oh I should say that I didn’t think I’d be staying over. I thought i’d be gone by 9p.m. hahaha but they managed to persuade me at mac’s to stay. so I had like nothign in my bag. (as in no clothes no towel etc.) haha. just whatever I was wearing.

anyway, we went back to school and just hung around. had night contact. damn fun I swear. I got the BGR station. hahaha meaning I could come up with all sorts of shit situations and try and get them to console me. HAHA. that was kinda fun. went retarded with guitars and mini amps. yeah hung about the cenacle. then went for debrief in the LT. OH. we have invented a new game. it’s like handball. except you play it in a COMPLETELY DARK room with a glowstick(: it was just 4 of us and it was soo fun. like rolling around the floor and all that shit(: heh. ian dylan jared and i. and sam too later on. hahaha. then we went for supper at like 1 plus. ate whatever. then went for night reflection. a tad late I think.

anyway, night reflection etc finished at about 2.15. then we chionged the hockey pitch. hahaha. we brought the soccer ball and proceeded to play. damn funny. we were all so blur and shagged that we couldn’t see the ball. quite funny. and then they kicked the ball to the drain so many times. lol. irritating cos we couldn’t find the ball. oh well.hahaha

then at 4 we finalyl just gave up cos the ball went into the drain again. so we all just lay down in the middle of the damn hockey pitch and slept. hahaha. at like 5 someone woke up and was like “shit are we really sleeping on the hockey pitch” and it got too cold so we all moved up to the classroom where our bags were.

hahaha yes. then I left early. left at 9 and here i am. goodness so fun(:

You’re my sugar rush(:

your palms are sweaty, you’re suspended in the air 7m by naught but a rope and a prayer. You know how you’re gonna do it, but you don’t know if you can. this leap’s more than anything you’ve done before, the hold’s about a metre above your head. You can’t trust the unsteady hold you have right now. You’ve nothing but your arms, your legs, your brains and maybe the chalk that’s barely accessible. Wiping your hands accross your shirt you brace yourself and get ready for your death-defying leap of faith. Looking down you see the many holds you’ve come; it’s all led you here. A bead of sweat slowly trails down your face. Throwing everything to the wind, you push off with all your strength and your right hand instinctively reaches out. No, yes, you’ve nicked it. you’ve got a hold and you can now smear your way up the wall. Muttering a silent prayer, you move on. The final hold of this climb’s just another 2 metres above you. You can see it, how it leers at you. It’s not very big. barely enough for your fingers to wrap around. Pressing on, you swing from side to side and eventually, you’ve got it. Looking down, it’s been a long way. But the hours you seem to have experienced has been a mere 5 minutes. Suddenly the blood rushes away from your head and you hear applause from the gathered spectators. Wiping your hands, you look, ready for your next climb. As you’re lowered down, a sense of accomplishment and self-pride fills you; you’ve done it, you can rest and be ready for the next one. Your arms ache, but it’s nothing to the spike of emotion experienced during the climb.
