LET IT ROCK!!!

2009-03-08T01:10:00.008+08:00

This week's song, is Kevin Rudolf's catchy genre-crossing song, Let It Rock, featuring Lil' Wayne. Awesome song. It's one day late, I know. But whatever. xD Lyrics are below. ^_^

I see your dirty face
Hide behind your collar
What is done in vain
Truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God
To justify the way you live a lie, live a lie, live a lie
And you take your time
And you do your crime
Well you made your bed
I'm in mine

Because when I arrive
I bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
What this is, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock

Now the son's disgraced
He, who knew his father
When he cursed his name
Turned, and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart
So he stuck his middle finger
To the world
To the world
To the world
And you take your time
And you stand in line
Well you'll get what's yours
I got mine

Because when I arrive
I bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
What this is, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock

Yeeeeeaaaaah!
Wayne's world
Planet Rock
Panties drop
And the top
And she gonna rock 'til the camera stops
And I sing about angels like Angela
(Rock)
And Pamela
(Rock)
And Samantha
(Rock)
And Amanda
And Tamara

Im in here up like betch what's up
Mechanic, me, I can fix you up
I can lick you up
I can lick you down
Shorty we can go wherever just pick a town
And the jewelry is louder than an an engine sound
Big as rocks like on the ground
Dirty like socks that's on the ground

Because when I arrive
I bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
What this is, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock

Just Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock

I'm back like I forgot somethin'
I'm somethin
Rulin' rock rubbin' rap runnin'
Miles like I'm trying to get a flat stomach
Like Wayne the personal trainer
My aim is perfect I'll bang ya
Period, Like the remainda

I wish I could be
As cool as you
And I wish I could say
The things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie
No not this time

Alright, I went to Jon's house on Thursday, never gone over in a long time. Played Street Fighter IV and Fifa 09 there. Jon invited quite a few of the other guys over as well. Had a blast. Jon and I teamed up for Fifa 09, played against Zuhairi and Louis. We were Liverpool, of course, they were Manchester United and we kicked their asses. Played three matches, we won the first, they won the second, we drew for the last one, went to penalties...and let's just say that they suck at penalties. Thrashed them there. We also had a Street Fighter IV tournament, among the six of us. Louis beat Jon for first place, and I clinched third after beating Zuhairi. We also learnt how to play poker. And we bet with sweets. Candy. Which Jon kindly provided as he had a lot and no one was eating them. xD I also borrowed Jon's Tales of Vesperia when I left. Been playing it the past couple of days.

On Friday, I went out in the evening to watch a movie at the Cathay Cineleisure with Darryl and Jon. We watched Role Models. DAMN FUNNY! xD Good movie. ^_^ After the movie, we bought drinks from the 7-11 or Cheers at Orchard Cineleisure, then we walked around Orchard for a bit as we drank and chatted. Yep, my first alcoholic drink in my entire life! xD Went to Centrepoint for a short while, so that Darryl could buy some stuff from Guardian and also desposit some money. Then we went home by MRT. Jon took a picture of our mostly empty bottles in Guardian. xD From left: my Hooch Blackcurrant drink, Jon's Bacardi Lime, and Darryl's Q Raspberry Vodka. (Which tastes like cough medicine. Word of warning: Don't waste your money on it unless you like the taste of cough medicine.) And below is another picture I took at home, after the bottle was cleaned. Jon seemed to have gotten drunk, but he did help Darryl finish his vodka, since Darryl wasn't a fan of cough medicine, so that might explain it. He kept insisting that he was merely high, but was also very sleepy. I still think you were drunk, Jon. xD

The rest of February...

2009-02-28T23:01:00.010+08:00

Right...let's see...yesterday was my birthday! And today's Sheila's birthday! So happy birthday to her! And 4 days ago, it was Angeline's birthday, so she's 18 just like me too! Hooray for Pisces! xD

In other news, I got into the Academic Roll of Honour for the second time in a row. I don't feel anything though. Odd. A little happy, I suppose. No more than that though.

Well, let's see...for the rest of February since my last post, I went to Angeline's poolside birthday barbeque at Emerald Park, a condo estate. Had a great time there. We actually didn't eat that much. We were playing games most of the time. And Angeline kept telling us to eat more. xD Above is a picture of Angeline's birthday cake. It's a Monopoly board! Complete with Chance and Community Chest and playing pieces! xD And below is one of our group pictures at the BBQ. I just can't get why Marcus won't smile. In fact, none of the other guys are smiling, save Shaun and I. All of the girls are smiling though.

Then on the 25th, I got my hair cut at Jean Yip at Tampines Mall, so I look different from the picture above now. My hair's much shorter right now.

The next day, on the 26th, I went out with Sheila, Hakim and Marcus. We met at Clarke Quay MRT, and for once, I was the latest to arrive. -.-" Anyway, after we met up, we walked over to the Coffee Club at Clarke Quay for lunch, I ordered the PiriPiri Chicken, and I wanted to take a picture of it, but then forgot. By the time I remembered...I was halfway though the dish. Oh well. It was expensive. More expensive than I had anticipated. Oh well. Never mind. At least the food was good. I ordered a Vanilla Ice Mocha to go with it. Not bad. Just...expensive. -.-" Won't be eating there for quite some time. xD

After lunch, we walked out to see that it was raining, lol. We went over to Liang Court, just next door, and while Sheila had a small umbrella, Hakim, Marcus and I chose to get wet and ran across to Liang Court. Much faster than taking repeated trips with the umbrella. When the three of us were back under shelter, we decided to dry off in the aircon in Liang Court, forgetting that the aircon, while taking moisture from our bodies and clothing, also made us feel cold. xD Then Sheila felt cold too, because the cold weather coupled with the aircon and the fact that she was wearing shorts, meant her legs were exposed to the cold. So we were all cold, regardless of who got wet. xD Anyway, we sang our lungs out for 4 hours at the Party World KTV at Liang Court. FUN! :D I paid for the entire session by myself, but it was worth it. ^_^

By the time we got out, we walked over to Marina Square to watch a movie, 'The Pink Panther 2'. It was pretty good. ^_^ Quite funny. It was at 6:45. While waiting for the movie to start, we went to the arcade next door for a short while, and everyone played something except for me. xD I just watched, and kept track of the time. After the movie, we went to McDonald's for dinner. The other three ate, I didn't, since I was broke by then, especially after lunch and paying for the KTV and movie. I had 35 cents in my wallet. xD

After dinner at the McDonald's at Marina Square, we walked over to the Esplanade Rooftop Garden and chatted there for a while, until we left at about 10:50. Sheila and I also exchanged gifts there, since the outing was in celebration of my birthday, and Sheila's birthday. I gave Hakim and Marcus small gifts too. While Sheila, Marcus and Hakim gave me one combined gift, they didn't get Sheila anything. Nor did we get any cake, but I don't mind. ^_^ All in all, a fun time. And W24M are doing an outing on 3rd March, this Tuesday! ^_^ Looking forward to that. ^_^ Oh, and no pictures of the outing on the 26th, cos Sheila's camera was spoiled, I don't have a camera, Hakim has no camera, and Marcus forgot to bring his. xD

One final thing, my new song on my blog is 期待爱 by JJ 林俊杰, very nice song. Won't provide you with the lyrics right now, will add them later. xD

Cheers,

Shaun

True friend test!

2009-02-13T00:13:00.002+08:00

You may have noticed the new true friend test on my blog. Go try it out, and see how well you know me! :D

It's 20 questions long, some easy, some hard. Some are tricky, some look like the answer is obvious, but I wouldn't be too sure if I were you. ^_^

Looking forward to see you guys on the scoreboard! xD

TAG! You're it! xD

2009-02-12T22:23:00.000+08:00

A quiz I'm doing because Sheila tagged me. ^_^

1.Who's the person who tagged you?
Sheila!

2.Relationship between you and him/her?
Former classmate and good friend. (:

3. 5 impresions of him/her?
1. Rather shy, slightly lacking in confidence.
2. Soft spoken. Very much so. xD
3. Pretty (:
4. Friendly.
5. Sweet~ :D

4.if he/she become your enemy you will?
Nah. That'll never happen. So no need to answer this.

5.what will you say to the person you like very much?
A lot. None of which I will say here. xD

6.A characteristic i like about myself?
My strength of will and determination.

7.A characteristic i hate about myself?
My arrogance? I sometimes come off as arrogant, without meaning to do so. That, coupled with my tendency to correct others, is off-putting to others. I know that, and am trying to change that.

8.For the person whom u hate, u say?
I don't hate anyone. It's a feeling I dislike, and thus avoid. If I did hate or intensely dislike a person though, I'd just avoid contact and refuse to speak to the person. No reason to invite arguments and after all, we’d just keep saying hurtful stuff to each other.

9. What do u feel abt urself?
I'm a mystery to myself sometimes, let alone to other people. Some people think they know me well, that may be true, because sometimes others see thins that you don't. I'll be doing up something to test how well my friends know me soon. ^_^

10. Your crush?
I'm gonna presume this question is asking about what I feel about my crush or something. Can't answer this. Don't have a crush right now.

CNY and the past couple of weeks!

2009-02-12T21:58:00.006+08:00

Okay, so this is late. Very late. I’m sowwee. ):

Okay, anyway, more than two weeks’ worth of stuff to write about, but this is gonna be short anyway! xD Because I’m lazy and busy! xD

Okay, so CNY has come and gone. I got money from hongbaos. Won money from gambling. And spent money won from gambling and gotten from hongbaos. On CNY Eve, several relatives came over, we ate a steamboat dinner. Then I tried to stay awake for as long as possible. It’s a Chinese tradition. You don’t sleep or at least, stay awake for as long as possible on CNY Eve, to wish your parents longevity. I lasted until about 5:30am, and then fell asleep. On the sofa. Was watching TV to keep myself awake. It was mostly boring stuff. I woke up a couple of hours later, because my parents told me to sleep in my room, on my bed, and not on the sofa. So I went in, fell upon the bed, and went back to Sleepyland. xD

So next day, almost all of my relatives came over to my place, because my house is where the family gathers, since my grandma lives with me. This is when I start collecting my red packets and start gambling. Of course, on the first day of CNY, we eat vegetarian. On the second day, ate steamboat, again. For lunch, this time. Dinner was at a Chinese cuisine restaurant. The food was quite good. ^_^ And of course, throughout the course of CNY, I ate yusheng a lot.

On the third day of CNY, I went shopping with all the cash fattening my wallet! xD Got some new clothes. ^_^

On the fourth day, Sheila, Hakim and Marcus came all the way from the west to visit my house in Tampines! For once, they did the travelling. xD I met them at Tampines Mall/Tampines MRT station, then we ate lunch at KFC. I did a quick bit of shopping, and then we went to my place via bus service 81. We had to run to get to the bus, lol. Over at my place, we hung out for a while, played a little on my Xbox 360, then they left. Ate dinner with Hakim and Marcus at McDonald’s, since Sheila had to go off first.

On the fifth day, it was my turn to do the travelling; because I was gonna visit Sheila and Marcus. Went by MRT all the way to Bukit Batok, where Marcus lives. We ate lunch at Pastamania. Then we walked to Marcus’ place. We played Bingo (which Sheila won) and Blackjack (which I won the most) and ‘All In’(we didn’t play money for this). Sheila ended up winning the most, and I think I won a bit. And Marcus lost money. Hakim couldn’t gamble. xD

After some time, we left to go to Sheila’s house, in Boon Lay. Took a bus there. Once we reached there, we played bridge, watched Mythbusters. And saw the purplest room I have ever seen in my life. xD We took a few pictures at her place, but forgot to take at my place and Marcus' place. Ate dinner at Jurong Point’s KFC with Marcus and Hakim, as Sheila went to a steamboat dinner at her friend’s place.

Over the rest of the weeks, I went on many shopping trips, gone to RP twice to hang out with Hakim and Marcus. And just yesterday, went out with some of E36K. Waited an hour at City Hall MRT for everyone, then we went to Marina Square to play bowling. I love bowling. ^_^ We played two games. Sykes won the first game; I scored the highest for the second game. ^_^

Then we went to Suntec to hang for a while, since we were waiting for more members of the class to join us for dinner. This was at Suntec City’s Pastamania. Once dinner was done, we walked over to Millenia Walk for a short while, then we went to the Esplanade and went to the Rooftop Terrace and hung out for a while there, and finally we went home by MRT at about 9:30. No pictures of us together, while we took some, I haven’t gotten them yet. I do have some pictures of the curious architecture of Millenia Walk though.

Yesterday was Jon’s birthday, and though I’ve already wished him happy birthday multiple times, I’m gonna wish him happy birthday again! xD

Song of the Week: Crush

2009-02-08T23:19:00.004+08:00

This is a day late, and my blog post for CNY is now 8 days late. I know. I need to start finding a way to make myself update regularly. -.-" Anyways, this week's Song of the Week, is one that's been invading the airwaves at a rapid pace. You most likely have heard it elsewhere. It's David Archuleta's Crush. A very nice song. The fact that it is so popular right now says it all for me. Go take a listen, if for some reason, you haven't heard it yet. Lyrics are below. And I'll work on getting the CNY post up ASAP. ^_^

Lyrics:

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush

'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends?
Is there more, is there more?
See it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last
Last forever, forever

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
This crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Song of the Week: If Tomorrow Never Comes

2009-01-31T12:08:00.002+08:00

My second song of the week is this gem by Ronan Keating, If Tomorrow Never Comes. A quiet love song that's very meaningful. Very nice. Go take a listen. ^_^ I'll be putting up a post on my Chinese New Year experiences this year later. ^_^

Lyrics:

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart?

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way
To show her every day
That she's my only one

And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

Song of the Week: Forever!

2009-01-28T00:33:00.004+08:00

I'm starting something I'm calling the Song of the Week! Every Saturday, the song on my blog will change, unless I'm abroad or something, and can't change it. The song could be old, or it could be new, English, Chinese, and occasionally, Japanese, but regardless, it will be a song that I like and would recommend to all readers of my blog. ^_^

So let's start off with my first Song of the Week! Forever! By Chris Brown! It's a totally awesome song, and definately one of my top ten favourite songs ever. It's a very catchy and upbeat electro-dance pop song, but it's also a love song. Chris Brown manages to make this love song very easy to dance to. The music video's not much, but the song is, as I've said, totally awesome. So go ahead, press the play button and have a listen! ^_^ Lyrics of the song are below. Quite a bit of work to copy them and paste them, then format them. -.-" But whatever. It's alright. ^_^

Hey (eh)

Forever (forever)
Ever ever ever

We're so high off the ground
Sending for an angel to bring me your heart

Welcome! First post!

2009-01-23T22:37:00.012+08:00

Hey people! My first post on my new blog here on blogger! ^_^ I might update both this blog and my Windows Live Space one. At the very least though, I'll update this one, since Windows Live Space doesn't seem too popular, oddly enough. This blog will have some new stuff the previous blog didn't have! I'm not gonna spend too much time yakking away here. On to the real content!

Well, to start off this first post, I was helping out with Project R.I.C.E on the 17 and the 18th this month. Represented the RCHN, or Red Cross Humanitarian Network. It was a great success. Our target was 30,000kg of rice. We got 40,750 kg. Awesome.

17th involved collecting rice from households. We went door to door collecting. We got some guys from RI's NCC to help us. Yes, Raffles Institution. They were doing it for CIP, if I'm not mistaken. Exhausting, thank god for their help. We made very good progress, and towards the end, we spent a lot of time playing bridge with the NCC boys from RI. xD Oh yeah, Eetheng and Sheila were there too. We met at Hougang MRT, then walked over to Punggol CC. Angeline was supposed to come, but had to see to something, I'm not sure what, lol. Anyway, she came the next day. The three of us who did come got an event T-shirt, which I am now, quite fond of wearing for some unknown reason. xD

Yeah, Eetheng and Sheila resting, during one of our breaks. Eetheng dozed off. xD They're wearing the event T-shirt. And Sheila was complaining the whole time, because she was wearing another T-shirt under the event T-shirt. XD Oh, and the RI NCC boys called Sheila an old auntie. xD Well, they called all three of us old, but also called Sheila an auntie. xD

On the 18th, Angeline joined us, as we finished packing the rice, then went to distribute it to various households in Hougang. When we were done, we had a lunch break at Hougang Mall's Long John Silver. Then it was back to Punggol CC, where we boarded the pickup truck that brings the volunteers all around. This time, our destination was Tampines! I couldn't stop laughing once I realised how close to my house our distribution area was. Less than 5 minutes walk away.

I took this picture when I was leaving. The others were taking the pickup back to Punggol CC, but since my house was so near, I just walked home. I actually wanted to take a photo with the entire of Division 2, which was basically the team of volunteers I was in. I forgot. -.-" Four of them are in the photo above. (from left, Eetheng, Sheila, Angeline, Lirong (I got her name from Sheila)) I took the photo when they were unprepared, so they weren't looking at the camera. The photo's missing Ruzaini, our Divison's IC. It was really a very fun and meaningful experience, even if it was very tiring. Those two days were exhausting. More pictures can be found on Sheila's blog. None of which include me, because I didn't need to take the lorry ride back to Punggol CC. Bit sad, but no matter.

One thing I noticed though. Not all of the needy beneficaries were 'needy'. One supposedly needy household we delivered rice to, had a plasma tv. -.-" Not their fault though, they didn't sign up. Almost all of the households did not know that they would be receiving rice. And I noticed that quite often, those households which donated the most rice, often seemed like they were the ones who needed the rice instead. We all felt bad collecting the rice sometimes. One household I remember, had a living room completely bare, except for a few blankets in one corner. That household gave quite a bit of rice. It felt like we were taking rice from the poor and giving to the rich sometimes. Of course, that's not to say that the beneficaries did not deserve the rice, many did, there were just some exceptions. Still, very meaningful, I'm glad I joined Project R.I.C.E, and it was time well spent. Being able to help makes me happy. ^_^

I took this picture at Woodlands Interchange while waiting for 168 to come. Was returning home from school. I like blue skies. So pretty. ^_^ Very scenic and pretty, don't you think? ^_^
