14 Feb. I remember those days in college when all of us marked that day as a frenship day. Perhaps that was something common amongst the people in singlehood. There is of coz nothing wrong with singlehood as it gives us more concentration during our A levels. Talking about singlehood. Lim teh used to tell me that she will wan to stay single as long as possible. The recent events in her life seem to brought her to realise the difficulty in maintaining that statement she made earlier. It's nice to see a good pal immersing herself in the early stages of, perhaps "love"? Not sure whether to call that a love as of yet. But at her age, i would love to see the blossoming of her chemistry with turtle.
Nothing is of confirmation as of yet. It is real stagnant for the both of them. And i can't interfere with much of the stuff involving the both of them, as i have interferred enough from advices.
Frenship day.. V-day...colleagues are preparing to book some places to spend with their endearing ones, and no harm listening to them too. Actually i dun care lar...if i wan to get myself a date....i would have done it long time ago, not juz on V-day right?
Something juz popped on my mind....will turtle ask Limteh out on V-day? If yes...isn't it obvious and clearer now what his intentions were?
This coming week i am only back camp on monday...the rest of the week i am on leave! I am so happy....Wed got appt at skin center....and i am very happy to see the sand flies' bites' wounds getting better.... :)

The thing about having a big social circle is that you need to sit down and sort some of priorities associated with it. Having many frens of my age from secondary sch, their 21st birthday is coming....cynthia...esp is next saturday...
Now if i tell u something from my heart, i tell u now, that i am not interested in going for her party... Xiaoting still ok, but for weni and cynithia i dunno why i seem unlikely to attend their party. Perhaps u will say, "weini come for ur party u know.."
Oh well....
Anyway, life is like this wat. You cannot afford to commit to all kinds of things that draw ur attention. They are bound to have times when u will have to set aside the feelings of others, in order to put other priorities on top. I am not a millionaire to gratify other's longing for happiness..i am not that "wei da".
When i heard that zixian might wan to organise chalet..i was quite stunned...coz he doesn't appear to be someone who wants to organise one...may be i am juz stigmatizing him. :p
Oh well.... today's a sunday, and i dun feel like going out coz of my hands. Vainpot? May be...but my mum keep saying that it's a bit unsightly..hahaha.

Can love ever be simple? Yesterday lim teh was frustrated and confused over whether she should confront turtle about the direction that they were heading to. Hmmm i seriously find that these 2 ppl are irritating!
Aiyo, since when did infatutation or love become so foggy and the line drawn so between them so thin? Infatutation and love are meant to be 2 different entity. You can't stay at a crush forever, and there muz be some progress before love comes intot the picture.
Turtle had been someone quite spiritually strong, as he had learnt from painful mistakes in the past. He now never communicates well enough with Limteh to let her know wat he is thinking in his mind of a commando.
LIke what limteh have said, they have been meeting quite often recently, and she wants to know where they are heading, and not juz aimlessly carry on meeting each other. She feels that it's an one-sided love on her part, which i begggged to differ lor. From the way turtle converse and relate to her, i can tell that he is interested in her too. The problem is, how to carry on this in an as Godly manner as possible?
Like i have said...they are irritating...never have i come across a "couple" as complicated as them......why can't he juz tell her everything....and why can't she juz tell him everything too?
nvm.

Juz back from bugis with my parents and little brother. We went to a crowded hawker center to eat pig's organs soup and wild boar meat hehe. It was delectatious...yummy. We always like to come this particular stall to eat coz it is my family's all-time favourite.
After that we went to try myriad kinds of nuts from the stalls thronging with ppl after ppl. Not long after that, we went to the bugis village which now had now newly revamped into a clothes,bags,shoes and accesssories' heaven. HOwever, i feel that the stores aplenty are catered to girl than guys lor, though there are still quite a few guys' apparrel. I bought a shirt for myself, at 16...down from 18..quite a good bargain.
Oh well i came upon this birkenstock sandals (obviously fake), but my mum bought it for me..which i think it looks alright lar...dun care whether its fake or real lar. Cheap and nice, Pee pee, qi qi...(hokkien).
My brother bought from the same stall the sandals a week ago too...and now i bought another different colour one. He bought a white one and mine a dark brown one. I guess it is the best of both worlds, since we often exchange shoes and clothes to wear.
Juz now i was watching the mtv (wai po) of jay chou and i think it is seriously quite a heart warming mtv...juz that there are some hidden agenda inside...about jay lamenting why he never got an award from the previous mtv award ceremony(i think). The "Ge Qian" is another nice mtv...
I always like mtv that carries a story forward to the audiences. Mtv nowadays doesn't juz convey the melodious voice of the artistes and the beautiful scenes, but also drama scenes with conversation. The conversation in between the songs bring some reality to the songs.

I remember a day in the forest during my field camp when my colleagues was playing his guitars...singing some chinese songs which i dun recognise and then he was imagining himself opening an concert...and while he was singing the song, he stop, clap his hands above his head and said, "Da jia yi qi lai, shou ju qi lai!".....it was really funny to see him do that do those rubber trees while the rest of us juz stared at him.
My fren's camera got some funny effects, one of which was to add a tint of blue to the whole pic. It was in the morning when we took the pic in our saf jackets...Ended up the pic looked like we were filming for winter sonata...believe it or not.....
Almost everyday while the recruits were having their administrative time to rest, we instructors will go to the beach area to fish...and we even caught a groupa....cool huh...and i actually pronounced it as "groo PA" when my fren said it is "groo ber " lar...and of coz i said..."ok..."....

Juz back from suntec, see a doc. Told him wat my Medical officer in tekong gave me and he was like "half smiling half sneering" away, telling me that the hydrocortisone and chlorophenylamine were of not much effect to my blistered skin. I told him i scratched alot in the night which caused alot of lesions on the skins. He said he gave him a heavier dosage of a cream and some anti-itch pills, followed by lastly an anti-allergy medication(pills).
Listening to Jay chou live cd now....very cool man, including all the mtvs of his latest album....nice man....
Love his Qing Tian..lovely love song.
Now i shall talk abit about my field camp. For that 5 days...that particular field camp site was like a "sand flies hell". All my fellow instructors and recruits were all bitten by that small little sand flies(or black flies). After being bitten, i didn't dared to apply the SAF repellent on to my skin, afraid that heavily concentrated repellent might infect my skin. In the end i resort to shaking them off my hands, neck and occasionally head. They were really very small and before u realise it, u feel an itchiness followed by a mild pain. Then next come the swatting of ur hands on that sand fly which more often died as a result. This encounter with sand flies really spoil alot of my happy times or last time in the field. It was the first time i had a field camp site so close to the beach u know. It was kind of interesting though. Throughout that 5 days, never was a single drop of rain shedded from the sky. As a result, the day (noon esp) was freaking hot, while the night(around 2-6am) was freezing cold...
I slept on a bench which was shorter than the length of my body for the 5 days. In the middle of the nights, i would wake up to swatting flies or to the neck and back aches from the hard surface that i was sleeping on.
On the third days, all the instructors had a barbecue to celebrate the last field camp for most of us who are going to ord soon. The newly posted instructors prepared everything... and it was kinda fun...esp when it comes to initiation time. INITIATION, as it suggests, is a welcoming ceremony for new instrutors. We either made them drink beers, or go into some awkward situations, answering questions, shout at him, punish him....utimately followed by shaking of hands to welcome him into kilo coy.
At the end of the barbecue we had a small little cake for january babies, including myself, though it was really belated....
Oh ya..can u imagine that my camp site was the same place where the guardmen was being dunked inside the water which resulted in his death. Spooky huh? dun worry, no haunted experience to share.
Anyway my encik actually got a tv and dvd player into the field! It was powered by a generator...and all of us in the night watched the new episode of Desperate Housewives. It was a pretty ...to be frank an drama series with some hiliarious and yet erotic scenes. Hmmm pretty curious why they allowed the broadcast of a show like this and not sex and the city. I like sex and the city coz of sarah jessica parker unique character in the show. Though the cons to these shows are that they encourage promiscuity...but that aside, the social issues and the way frenships are treasured are pretty heart warming to be noteworthy.
Juz hope that my hands can get healed way before chinese new year.....

I went for a 5 day field camp and i am back with so many sand fly bites on my poor hands...
Now they looked freaking deformed lor haha.
Oh well i am going to see a specialist soon...so i shan't talk much about my field camp as of now. All i can say is that it's a mixture of both suffering and exhilirating elements within the 5 days.
Yesterday duuno what had happened to those servers....all the sites that i wan to go all can't be acessed which led me to believe that my pc was down. Here i am typing away...trying to recall what to write.
My fren told me about this good clinic in suntec and i am going in about 15 min later. Going to log off for now.

Zixian wans to go New Zealand for a hike. And he asked. I was ???
He didn't even find out the budget...how on earth can he be so indomitably eager to go there? Hmmm though it is such a dream to be able to go there and visualise that moutainous ridges and evergreen pastures with the horizon stretching to eternity. Movies from LOTR , as well King Arthur flood by mind with scenes of celestial entity.
It is such a wonder that places out of this island can be so captivating and the plentitude of that beauty is so consuming that i really wish i could one day juz get out of this stifling community of inconsiderate, ignorant, sycophants......and juz immersed myself in those beautiful natural beings.
Frens said that i am inert, that i should take the initiative to know more gals, be them strangers or from frens. It is not the fact that i am resigning to fate.. What is fate when destiny is carved out by the Lord Almighty? I guess, inert isn't that right a word to use here.
Occasional coincidental acquaintance with a gal from friends is fine with me. Does guys always have to take the initiative? Does gals i know always have to be that irritating? What happen to those demure, sophiscated gals? I am not saying that gals should be "docile" or even "volatile". I believe they should juz react approriately at approriate times....
Why do some gals take joy in toying with ppl's feelings? Have we reached an age when roles are switching? That gals take the roles of cassanovas? That guys have to go to the point of drooling over sexy, bewitching gals? Skin-deep versus inner sanctified beauty? which one will you go for?
I never deny that i am one of those who at times fall into the traps of superficiality, that i do look out, and stare at the pretty faces that sashayed on the orchard streets. Appreciating beauty is what i am doing, and not the obsession with beauty.
If only gals out there can think likewise, that they can look beyond build, look beyond appearances, beyond profiles, too really look that someone from inside.

I am now reading this book called prayer for rain by Dennis Lehane, the same author to the Mystic River, from that motion picture by Sean Penn.
The new sprite storm(super lemoned flavour) never take the locals by storm. On my way back orchard mrt yesterday, there was this huge crowd, i inclusive taking a can of sprite storm. After sipping it, i realise the drink really sucks....its so sour.... can sun pls come out to take this storm away...
Saw this newspaper cutting on "budget hostels' blues: too many beds", in a transparent file on my brother's floor. Hmmm he wan to stay in hostel meh? for wat?
My brother once told me he wanted to study overseas....but i hardly think that could ever be materialised.....
Zixian asked me whether i am working and studying at the same time. I was like??? how to ? Angelina further affirmed my reaction by saying its impossible to cope, esp in engineering....
They mentioned why i always like to talk about linda linda linda.... but the thing is my only connection, or knowledge of wat is going on in nus is via linda. Is there anything wrong.??
Oh well..talking about that siao ja bo...she told me she got this lump in her shoulder which was excruciating when her mum tried to touch it. Considering the suspicious high platelet-count in her, she was worried that that lump could be a blood clot.... If a clot..can get into a "lump" i think that something is wrong....but if its not a lump..then wat...is could onlybe left with another 2 possible causes. Either it's a callus(least likely) or a ball of cancerous cells.
I implored her to go see a doc, when she actually sees no urgency at all..ugh...oh well juz hope that her dad will bring her to a doc soon. Shouldn't have mentioned bringing her to see a doc...only to be rebuked by the fact her dad is around haha. :P
ANyway nothing should be on the worse side....i haven been praying for sometime...yet i dun wish to pray juz coz i wan God to make her safe..sounds so pragmatic....

Juz back from town...and i was with zixian and angelina....
As usual we were walking around, looking for possible gift ideas for weini, xiaoting, and the both of them, zixian and angel...
Oh well i dun like to look for hints...you might as well tell me what you want.
Walk and walk....from plaza sing we walk till wheelock place, browsing my time away at the borders.
Angelina was telling me when i wan to pierce my ears... I can't imagine you really take what i have said casually. I remembered that i told her once that i might be piercing my ears quite some time ago. Actually i am not that eager to go pierce lar....esp if i am really going to do relief teaching in schools....
Dying my hair is of coz the last thing that i will ever do to my hair. I like my black hair... :)
Hmmm saw this boook of called "useless information"...with the litany of funny facts that i actually dunno or i actually found them ridiculous. For eg, try rubbing a slice of onion on the sole of your feet and after a while u can taste the onion in your mouth!
I was like..????? are u serious? The book also told me that Alanis morisette had a twin sister, as well as Vin Diesel...
Today is another day i waste away walking around gawking at stuff or clothes to buy for my CNY....
Zixian asked me how much i had saved from my 2 years..i said 1000....and he was appalled...
Hai....somehow i know it is all my fault....that i can only save like this... and i doubt i can survive thru my uni life...peacefully.....ughhhh

Woah next week will be my last field camp in tekong....gona bring my digi cam along, to take some pics with my colleagues.
Hope that the wild boars will come out and take with me too :)
Hai...now i am thinking of getting some new clothes for the upcoming CNY and i seriously had no idea how to go about choosing. Some of those that i came upon are way too ex for me to afford...some of which are not worth it.
Yesterday i had a terrible dream. Dreamt that someone wan to go Japan with me...and then when we reached there he/she(can't remember) left me there alone. When i called the person, he said this is an exposure for me...i was very confused. I stayed in this hotel(haunted) and shared room with 2 couples. I slept while the 2 couples with having moments of intimacy. I went out, to look for another hotel. While looking i lost my way back. I was at a place with a alot of students...they were having some big buffet feast...on every floor. The students brought me back that hotel....and there suddenly i saw my little brother with me...and both of us saw a ghost in the lift....after that i dunno what happened.
What a haphazard dream.....

I watched Elektra today! A splendid movie with excellent moves and hot plot. Jennifer garner was so hot in the movie. Her role though intimidating, yet hides a merciful and kind traits from within.
I like the plot very much, as well as the kind of special skills the villains have..especially that tattooed guy and the kiss-of-death gal.
I would love the movie to be a bit longer though...
Donning that red suit of hers, Elektra looks so sexy! :) Actually i am now looking forward to Xmen 3 leh...come fast leh....

I finished reading the "life of Pi" when i was at the range. Like wat lim teh said, the ending was really thought-provoking. The part when Pi told of the 2 different stories to his interviewers and the kind of responses he elicited from them was indeed an interesting ending to the whole novel.
Some parts of the novel is really gross lor. Esp the eating of turtles, and even parts of human. I can never imagine that coz i haven reached that brink of hunger before death yet.
Life in Singapore is so comfortable. I always take what i have for granted. It is time for me to count all my blessings....one by one....not now of coz.
Juz now i was watching the mtv music awards 2004. Alicia keys was performing..together with Stevie wonders. :)
Oh ya...christina together with nelly in some hot salsa dances....
YES...yellowcard ocean avenue won something...but i can't remember what award....jet also won something.
Another boring day. GUess later i am going to watch elektra with my frens.

I went insane yesterday. Left home at 2030, to reach tamp mall around 2100 to catch Phantom of the Opera at 2135. Alone.
Fancy them putting me on a seat sandwiched by 2 couples snuggling together. The guy on my right keep asking his gal fren to shut up and juz watched the movie.
It was a lovely movie...but too bad singing was so so. The phantom was the only one i think the singing can make it. The Christine singing not powerful enough.
As usual, the ever popular tunes, music of the night, think of me,all i ask of you....enchanting and bewitching melodius tunes.
I guess to put an opera into a movie makes so much easier for audiences to understand. Of course, the play had more expensive tickets.
Glad i manage to catch it, coz i think it is going to close soon. Ah, not to forget the "masquerade"....quite a catchy tune.
Hmmm at various times the Christine can't reach higher notes and she used lower notes to replace, not impromptu of coz.
Overall i enjoyed watched the movie. Hmmm sometimes i wonder why all the guys who played the Phantom always have to sing that "way" of voice. Like those ppl in constipation like that. I guess they wan to accentuate his misery and plight....
Christine is so chio and white like snow :)

Its really spirit-wrenching to have 2 of ur saturdays burnt in a row. Its never uplifting to see ur fellow comrades book out while u are at the guard room guarding that island...
Yesterday was another boring duty, barely catching much sleep. However much to an irony, i am always invigorated whenever i reached home...or should i say once i stepped out of the island.
My colleagues called me SK2, Sleep KIng2. THe 1 was a colleague of mine who had already orded. Oh well, as the name suggests, I llike to sleep in camp. I guesss sometimes there is really nothing exciting that i could look forward to except for a dip or a run or gyming.
Having this current batch as my last batch of recruits, i seriously had no much of any intention to put in too much effort into training them. The ORD syndrome has slowly effected into my being. I am now juz a sarge, doing my job with minimal expectations.
All i could see was myself holding on to my pink IC, and to that futuristic 5 months of part-time job or mere enjoyment.
Later going with lim teh to town...juz coz she wan to use my safra card -_-"" , anyway hope that i wun fall asleep....i am sure i am capable not to slumber away.

Hmmm juz came back from town, bought a book worth 37.75 from kino for my brother, 100 recipes by jamie oliver, and i hope he likes it.
I actually went down to paragon, metro, then the biotherm counter to look at the products for men. I think perhaps they cater more for the masculine needs in the masculine skin. oh well...
Anyway luckily there were people around too, and i feel less awkward. I bought this facial wash and blemish treatment cream, all for 80 bucks, and i all need to pay is 20 coz i got 60 dollar voucher! :)
The gal at the counter asks me if i wan to join the biotherm club which was free if u purhcase any 2 products. It gets renewed only if you spend 600 dollars worth of products in a year. That i can't be bothered, since the membership is only for a year, then let it expires in a year lor. :p

I suddenly remember one heated incident yesterday while I was in the cookhouse performing my COS ( Company Orderly Sergeant duty). There were a lot of newly enlisted recruits, some of whom haven even cut their hair. I really feel like going there to grab their dyed hair by bundles and drag them out of the cookhouse. Nvm.
Anyway these recruits need to used their 11B (saf id card) to scan one some machine to make sure they have consumed their meals.
"Sergeant, why cannot scan?" A recruit popped that question.
I walked to his side, take a look at his card, look at how he scanned the card....
" Oi recruit, you think ur picture on the card got barcode ah?" I asked incredibly.
After which he finally turn the card over to scan the barcode. Unbelievably, he was a jc student...ahhhh
As i was supervising them to queue properly for the food, ensuring the smooth traffic within the cookhouse....
" Erm, excuse me , excuse me, erm excuse me ah.., excuse...." I saw an idiot waving his hand here and there, excusing himself here and there, with an irritable SNOBBISH voice.
" OI! I have my rank, and i am a sergeant, i am not a waiter in a restaurant for you to call upon..!"
" Soli Soli!" he said repentantly. Nvm i forgive him.
It was the same guy after a while later, who munch a pear and walk in the center row, past the instructors' dining table walking like he is a "chao ah beng".... I walked to him and told him off, warning him not to walk there, and not to walk while munching a fruit.
I can't be bothered to find out which coy he comes from...it will be too evil of me. :P

I am thinking of some gifts for my second brother. It is his 20th birthday on the 14th of jan. Actually i was thinking of getting him some book from Jamie Oliver, which i am quite sure he will like since he is into those culinary thingy due to his course in poly.
Sometimes i find that compared to the past, my relationship with my brother had been fairly better. At least now we talk more about our views on movies, music,clothes,books....etc. He is the person whom i am not scared of to show the things that i have bought outside. Sometimes i am juz worried that when i do that people around me may juz get turn off...you know... oh well at least i can be myself whenever i am at home :)
For example my new discman, my presents, my gift for dad..etc. Most of the time when it comes to our parents' birthday we will discuss what kinds of things to share the cost to buy. Sometimes we share the sentiments over my little brother's progress in his studies which most of the times exasperate us.
My brother shares the same genes as me. He is also another vainpot....and his style for clothes obviously differ from mine... -___-
Sometimes i wish i was back in secondary school when we actully work together in our cca, when he was actually my "direct" junior... it was more fun back then.

Time flies and i am already past 21. Juz come back from the stupid weekend duty and i muz say it is a slack yet boring weekend duty. Teo Chee Hsean's son had enlisted in HAWK coy, and i feel terrible for my specs in hawk.
In the my one year plus in bmtc as an instructor, sometimes i like to make comments like, "oi recruit, you think your father owns the army is it?"
However, if that question is ever directed to teo chee hsean's son, his reply will be,
"Yes sergeant, my father owns the army...."
Hmmm how should I react then? Haha.
My buddy in jaguar also have 2 "white horses" in his company, ANyway a white horse is a metaphor for a person whose parents are influential and "deserve" special attention from the instructors. Jaguar coy has 2 recruits at the moment whom one is a General's son, while the other an influential business man's son. Oh well, business man's son...? Hmm deserve special attention? Kiss my a** !
Anyway these 2 guys were arranged to be buddies. In the army you will have one designated buddy whom you are suppose to account ur whereabouts to.
Ken(in jaguar) was telling me whether they should try to test the SAF system by giving these white horses low scores and see where they are beingposted to after their bmt phase. Is it really that foolproof?

Today i go out with a ex-recruit who has the same birth date as me! This is the first time i do that.....
We went to watch the ocean's twelve...and i muz say it was quite a hilarious show actually...in comparison to the the ocean's eleven
I personally like the part when Julia Roberts acted as herself in the movie...it was freaking funny.. :)
NOw i am back at home....going to book in later...:)
Actually before i meet my recruit i was walking around taka and paragon...and it was great to hang around in town on weekdays where the crowd is minimal. I can leisurely take my time to walk and walk.
Wanted to get some briefs when i realise that section got 3 or 4 gals over there...making me so uncomfortable to look around.....in the end.. i juz walk away haha.
I remember once when i went to the town in the morning...around 9 plus.... it was quite an experience to see the staff of Isetan, Metro standing at their counter, a few at the entrance, at attention ready to greet anybody who walk past them. Apparently they have to stand there and greet people, for around ten minutes before they could go back to do their work respectively. When i walked in, it was as if i am some VIP haha.... some dream fufilment thingy :P
HHMMM how come metro doesn't have a good sports shoes or sandals section? Be it paragon or century square...i had a hard time trying to find the section when actually in the end i give up trying...

Actually was thinking of watching tv away to spend the last moments before i turn 21. As usual messages were sent to me...well wishes...
I was watching this documentary on channel newsasia, entitled, I'm special, but I'm ok.
As i am pondering the reasons behind spending my birthday walking in town in solitude, there are people out there who can't even enjoy some of the simple pleasures i deem important in life.
I spend the last few moments of my 20 looking at disabled youths who had juz learnt how to use the computer at the most rudimentary stage, how they use touch screen to tell people what they wan due to their speech defects...etc.
My heart really goes out to those people had been in the clutches of the tsunamis. It was indeed unbelievable, that the death tolls can reach so high to challenge any kind of genocide or massarce in the history of mankind.
It was reported that according to stipulation, half the dealth toll could be that of children.
Despite the hiccups behind the initial reactions from various countries, it is heart-warming to see the enthusiasm behind the relieft efforts coming from our own singaporeans.
I muz say that when a bikini was donated, and the reporter took it to tell people to stop donating things that are of no value to these now impoverished children. Oh well it was quite hilarious actually, to see the reporter doing that. Bikini....high.. my sadistic colleagues were saying that probably the donater wanted some more people to go surfing or sunbathing to encourage more tourists to come. Make absolutely no sense huh?
It is heart-wrenching, to see pictures of corpses on the bulletin board in thailand,indonesia..etc. It muz be quite a moment, for the family of these victims....
I guess nobody can escape even when the earth shrugs....

It is never easy to play host.... it is never easy to have so many guests at ur house. I am constantly worrying whether my frens will enjoy the food, whether they will be too bored.
I was literally standing the whole day, hardly anytime to eat and sit down to relax. I was pretty glad to see mrs sim and her family, hopefully they wasn't scared by the massive crowd.
Was very touched by wen,es,and lin's card. Though it was meant to be laugh at(the pictures), but i guess i muz give them the credit for the effort behind all these cut and pasting job.
I am greatful for Ken too. He had been such a good buddy, as he was the photographer of the day, helping me to take all the pics from a professional point of view.
There had been high appraisals from frens over my mum's cooking, and most of them had thought that the food can be catered from outside. I told my mum about it who seems pretty happy to hear that.
HALO, yes i know i am the "scrawniest" among my frens, and i looked like the smallest in the whole family. I dun need anybody's reminders. :P :P
My mum is so quick to emphasise how small i am in comparison to my frens to all my relatives......sian
ANyway i dun care lar :P
I am so excited to receive so many things that i have always wanted to have...cologne, jacket,shirts, bags...all kinds of stuff.
After the whole thing, i went out with my 4a frens, went fish and co to eat....and guess wat i got my KELLY CLARKSON cd!! :)
Really thanks to kagome for listening to wat i got to say regarding some issues i had in the family of the aftermath of the whole bash...
She reminded me one thing though, birthday boy should stay happy. Come to think of it, not many ppl had the chance to host something like that, and i should be thankful of that.
Oh well....21 already huh....hmmmm........

So she said what's the problem babyWhat's the problem I don't know Well maybe I'm in love (love) Think about it every timeI think about itCan't stop thinking 'bout it
How much longer will it take to cure thisJust to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love) Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love
Come on, come on Turn a little fasterCome on, come on The world will follow afterCome on, come on Cause everybody's after love
So I said I'm a snowball running Running down into the spring that's coming all this love Melting under blue skies Belting out sunlight Shimmering love
Well baby I surrender To the strawberry ice creamNever ever end of all this loveWell I didn't mean to do it But there's no escaping your love
These lines of lightning Mean we're never alone, Never alone, no, no
Come on, Come onMove a little closer Come on, Come onI want to hear you whisperCome on, Come on Settle down inside my love
Come on, come on Jump a little higherCome on, come onIf you feel a little lighterCome on, come on We were onceUpon a time in love
We're accidentally in love Accidentally in love (x7)
Accidentally
I'm In Love, I'm in Love, I'm in Love, I'm in Love, I'm in Love, I'm in Love,Accidentally (X 2)
Come on, come onSpin a little tighterCome on, come on And the world's a little brighterCome on, come on Just get yourself inside her
Love ...I'm in love
