it's the year of the dog... man's best friend. so ya, everything about it should be good. 'economic growth' as said by prime minister lee hsien loong. hopefully, my results in MJC will also be as good. oh ya. i'm here to specially tell the good news. my sister's pregnant! hahaha... first few weeks only though. my sister & brother-in-law found out today. exciting huh... i'm going to be an uncle soon. sigh... so old! next time have to baby-sit and stuff like that. but who cares, i'm going to have a niece or nephew. cool! i'm sitting here, unable to contain my growing jubilation. can't wait to see my elder sister later and hug her! so ya... not going out till night cos everyone's coming to my place. spent last afternoon clearing my room. so now it's quite clean, although i would love a bigger room (move into a terrace house or something like that). something like pearlene's (i think it's unattainable). in this way, i can have my friends all in one room and we can have loads of fun. anyway.. just came here to wish everyone before i get busy entertaining. i will probably leave all my tutorials to the last minute. maybe tuesday. once again... HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR! manddaw

today's band was as usual tiring. miss sia very lame lor. she joke joke joke. played phantom of the opera... maybe playing it for MJC band concert this year. besides my seniors of whom i fear so much, i like my batch of clarinetists. yanhan, hannah, bryan... komarco says that being a conductor would be the best... but i want to just play the clarinet while keeping a low profile. i don't want to be an SL anymore... sucks being one. u either get a stupid section like the one i had in tk band where all the girls don't listen.. and u end up pulling ur hair out over a section that does not unite. oh the agony of it. my seniors are so strict... only some are fun to talk to. marlina, charity, yosua... i miss my previous seniors... jiayan, zhihan, wileen, huisian, shazana etc. if only shaz and wileen were in band... sigh. i'm going to CCAB tmr to see the band. so ya... have to go sleep early... nite for now. manddaw

SARGAS RULES! my birthday celebration was a blast. all thanks to andrew and the rest of the people. i totally enjoyed myself. though i was soaked wet with water bombs and dunked into the pool by edric, but ya, being with all of u there made my birthday go so well. the surprise barbeque party was such a success man! thanks a lot andrew, jeff, audrey, jianxin, heidi and the others for just being there. i wish i could celebrate it with my godbrothers though. if i could get all my godbrothers to attend my party, that would be my greatest wish. but i dun think that will be possible... i miss my godbrothers... sigh. oh well, trying to upload pictures of my birthday party but it seems i can't at the moment. so ya... bear with me... u can go to andrew's blog to see the full details... i must say it was the best planned birthday surprise party ever held for me. how nice of all of u to do it for me... love ya peeps. will do this more another time... till then, ciao. manddaw

shall just go thru briefly... had a talk by miss lai (tk's former principal) who talked about the school values and stuff. rather nice to have miss lai as my principal rather than *cough cough*. whatever... i was sorted into sargas 5 (scorpians) which had about equal number of boys as girls. fortunately, i had junhao & byron in the same group as me. they somehow relieved the tension. whatever it is... sargas rocks! had ice breaker games which somehow was fun but at the same time, stupid! husband & wife, catching. then we had choir auditions for guys and the three of us (byron, junhao & me) along with another guy got selected. it was lame lah... the instructor played chords and we had to sing it. anyway... when i went thru the second round of auditions, i told the teacher i was in DSA and she was like... wanna join choir still? and i said... no, sorry... no time. so she was like... okay lor... u dun have to be here. had recess after that... we had a mass dance item... mambo no. 5. it was nice on the whole. would love to learn ricky martin's 'Livin' La Vida Loda' really nice dance item. the counsellers did it for us, along with the OGLs. tmr there is school again and i dun feel like going cos... my birthday mah! Happy Birthday to ME! ok fine... marco said i shld go. cannot pon lor. sigh... i wanna pon! there is more dance tmr, along with learning the school song and more cheers. oh well, i guess i have to go to school. so ya... after the whole orientation ended, went back to tk to collect my good progress award cheque from mr foo (administration manager). nice person... the ONLY DECENT PERSON IN THE GENERAL OFFICE! haha... met up with miss lim, miss wang, mrs goh, mr tan mdm nora and mrs poon. talked a bit and saw more MJians come back. danial, haikal, nasiruddin, jiamin etc. danial and haikal bought the new PE tee and shorts. should i follow ron and say 'bloody hell'? haha... the new tee and shorts are way cool. tee shirt is something like MJC except the sides are in green. shorts now black... more presentable! not like the green ones... so ugly! what is the principal's problem? after we go then make drastic changes to the school system... i so jealous! anyway... not going to bother already. have to start exercising! fat already... sigh. zukai, better exercise with me! i shall stop eating so much... pls remind me! thanks... uploaded some pics taken on new year's day...  cousins always  marcus & me... church musicians... he plays the drums & i the clarinet  fireworks at the esplanade... happy new year'o6. manddaw

just came back from ben quek's chalet at safra changi where the four of us spent some time. well, it was mostly about adrian & louisa. there was no other people who could make it though. called audrey but she had something on with her primary school friends. upon reaching the place, we went bowling where i lost to ben quek twice. sigh... and especially by a close margin. for the first round, he scored 100 while i got 99. sigh... the second round he scored 147 while i got 143. sad right! oh well, it was fun though. they then went to the arcade where adrian & ben quek played games like time crisis etc. after that, went back to the chalet and played tai tee (is that how you spell it?) louisa helped me through cos i forgot how to play after such a long time. hopefully, i remember it now. cheryl had her barbeque yesterday with some of her friends. saw kenneth yee's younger sister. somehow, she does not seem like him at all. faces look so different... just like ben quek & cheryl. ben's father then sent us to the city at around 9 plus where we walked around looking for presents for ben's parents' wedding anniversary. eventually, we got two cards for them. i helped pick them out... it was nice lah huh! walked from marina square to the esplanade where there was so many people waiting to see the fireworks and do the countdown. i think we walked quite a lot yesterday as we made our way from marina square to the esplanade, to suntec city and then to marina mandarin. stood at some cafe area and had a great view of the fireworks. it was quite long... more than 10 mins worth of fireworks display. shall not elaborate what happened here lah... it was a private business between adrian & louisa and i shall keep it to myself. we then walked away from the esplanade trying to get a cab. however, there were no cabs around as all were either occupied, on call or the drivers were changing shift. so ya, the four of us walked along nicholl highway till beach road. there we found a cab which drove us to the chalet at changi. on the way there, wished many people. andrew too... he called me at around 1 plus. i miss him so much... where are you!??!?! hurry come back k! came back and played more tai tee with them, after which i just started to doze off. sigh... not a new year i expected to happen. it was fun, no doubt, being with adrian & louisa & ben quek, but i had to come back early today cos i have church soon. leaving soon lah... anyway, i saw the relationship which adrian & louisa shared. it was sweet lah... i somehow think they're made for each other. she's better for him than the previous one. they were SO SO SO sweet. holding hands in mob of people. he opening doors for her (expected lah huh). it made me think of the times when adrian was always confiding his probs with me (his lousy brother), but have finally found his partner. so ya, i'm not getting emo now so don't worry lah. i just miss all my godbrothers and godsisters. come to think of it, they are the ones that sustain me through the 'O' levels when i'm down. however, everyone just drifts away from each other. oh well, i guess it's all fated lah! i shall thank God for whatever thing that happens. notice i stop calling him kor much now... cos i dun think i need to. he's so in love to even bother about the stupid brother here. to adrian & louisa... all the best in your new relationship in 2oo6. i think i shall end it off here for now... going to church soon. shall blog more next time. till then, ciao! manddaw
