Crony.

Dinner with my closest friends on Thursday was something i'll remember for a very long time to come. What better way to spend quality time than over a plate of food, animatedly conversing away. I'm pretty sure the people sitting at tables around us were busy looking over their shoulders with disapproving looks on their faces. If the food was good, the company was unbelievable. From poking fun at Weimin's distinct lack of common sense to laughing at me when i slipped while walking on the pavement, we had an absolute blast. 

I pray we will be together forever, and i mean every word i say. I need friends like them at my wedding, after seeing so many best friends of more than 10 years attending each others weddings. All my confidants, people with which i tell my story and my secrets(very little though, heh). 

Here's to best friends, brothers and sisters!

(wanted to yaaaaaaaam seng, but nvm..)

The jury have decided, they hereby find the defendant guilty and sentence him to play Squash for the remainder of his years in Temasek Polytechnic. Okay maybe that was a tad too much, just felt like writing that out to create a "John Grisham" atmosphere. Squash isn't exactly a CCA in TP right now because they decided to close shop due to the lack of trophies during the last academic year. But i'm still gonna' join anyway, i need something to keep my body "fit" during my years there. Who cares if i won't get any CCA points or whatever, screw that shit Weimin. 

Got assignments due next Monday and Tuesday, so more than ample time to complete whatever needs doing. Christian Lee please do not procrastinate any further, you will only damage your health and possibly be the first student in TP history to make Alphy lose his temper. Must hand in assignments on time, must not ask for extensions okay.

It's alright, i understand. I just don't want the past to wreck our lives. Again.

Batman.

Ah, so boring so boring. Poly life is nothing like secondary school life, maybe because it's only the beginning of the year. But it's like, i see new faces everywhere i go and yet again, i see so many familiar ones too. No repetitions like when i wore uniform to school, walked through the gate before 7.15am and sang the stupid national anthem, which by the way is utter nonsense. Even the American pledge is so much more interesting, goes something like "i pledge allegiance to the united states of america, and to the public for which is stands" so on and so forth. I learn new things everyday in TP, like for example today i learnt where classroom 03-10/D is located, hidden in a secret chamber behind an almost invisible door only visible by Design students in possession of an ancient matric card gifted to them during DOC, heh. 

So, i shaved my hair yesterday and my Mum went "Who are you ah, why have you taken over my son? I liked him better when he had long hair and obeyed me". I still have long hair kay Ma, just that it's only in the center of my head and waxed towards the direction of Heaven(which by the way doesn't exist). Can hear Joyna scolding me already, "He's real okay, you just don't know..". 

I'm only updating because Zengting inquired today whether i updated on blogger or on Livejournal. The answer would be pretty obvious, i think.. Nah Zengting, you get to read something now kay? Aye Jingyuan can you ask your friend to speed up with his shower, i've finished writing this and he still isn't done yet? DotA waits for no one. 

Alright done,

Why so serious?

Slugs.

Ideation class on character design were so boring, my classmate sitting behind me had to call my handphone just to wake me up. And when i turned around to look at her, she had that why-the-hell-are-you-sleeping look on her face. C'mon, Alphy isn't exactly gonna' rip my hair off for sleeping during his class. Aren't we allowed to like ignore our lecturers and just sleep in class when we're poly students? Good thing is i don't have school for the next three days including Monday, i didn't have class today either. But by the time i hand in my character, it has to be fully fledged along with my journal on how it came to be. 

Don't we all love lifts, it saves to much time and energy compared to taking the stairs. I think i'm gonna' put on alot of weight in TP. Actually, it's just 1 flight of stairs to reach class since Design Entrance is technically on the 2nd level and canteen is like all the way doooown there. Donuts are nice, ribena is nice! Yet to eat in school because during breaks, the canteen area is literally flooded with students from every school. Too bad ah, design got the best tehpeng ah, chicken cutlet, design got the best tehpeng ah, nasi padang. Digressing away from the tehpeng cheer, i shall go take shower now. It's so humid that it's my third time today. 

I don't know why i'm even posting here when i've made up my mind to make the transition to Livejournal. Find my new link if you can, it's really.. gross(claims Zengting).

Slacker.

School has finally commenced and i'm thrilled, well a little bit. Ideation classes are kinda' boring, if not for Alphy at the helm we'd all be dead by now. The starting of school means less blogging, also partly because i'm too lazy and laid back to bother about entertaining readers online(if any). My first block is pretty much slack, classes from 3-6pm everyday. Only from 3 week onwards will i have 2 subjects per week. So it's pretty much slacking in class, followed by dinner with my friends and so on. Life doesn't get any better than this. But this is only the beginning, Design students in TP are reputed to be the busiest of all the schools thanks to the assignments and what not. So yea, that's about it for now. Wonder how my friends are holding up..

Gotta' get ready for class now, starts at 3pm. 

Bye, :B

Camp X!

Time to break the long line of one-word-title posts, for Design i will.

There is no school in Singapore like Temasek Polytechnic, let alone Design School. Which school makes you hang a key around the neck of a ghost in a pitch black toilet with ghouls banging on the locked cubicle doors? Which school was in the Top Three spots of all but one of the Dragonboat races despite being the second smallest in TP? Which school designed the most magnificent and awe-inspiring flags in TP that were waved proudly in the faces of all the other schools? 

Which school won the "Best Spirited" trophy?

Like many other events, i cannot possibly even begin to put down in words how great it felt to be part of Design School. I'm pretty sure only Designers from TP would understand what this post is really all about? Right after the Water Parade in Design School, my friend said to me that everything was madness. I asked him a solitary question, which other school in the world does this? He was speechless, a dog-ear grin spread high and wide across his wet face because he knew the answer. No other school does this, and many Designers would back my claim. This is a post to all Designers from TP, Camp X! Designers, on strike?

De-De-De-Design!

Greece.

I make my way through the local fish market, shoes soaked with salt water and fish grime. I cringe my face as the distinct smell of seafood tingles my senses, a mixture of rotting fish and sea water. The outspoken fishermen with their hoarse voices and coarse skin holler incoherently, each wildly advertising their catch. Here amongst the frenzied commotion, i notice only the silent. The ranting of each individual person forming pulses of sound, pounding hard on my ears.

The cobalt sky streaks across the background like a painting of unprecedented qualities, the perfect background for a picnic by the sea. The seagulls drift all around, wings caught in the updraft of warm wind. Screeching for their mates, they claw at each other like they're birds of prey counterparts. The roar of the ocean appeals to me the most, keeping within her the infinite numbers of wildlife to a depth i cannot comprehend. Stars glitter like blood diamonds harvested to the east, the light finally reaching me after milleniums of travel. The wind caresses my skin like a feline nuzzling up against me. Lying with the village behind me, i lay my burdens to the wind and just.. let go.
