Tonight the sunset means so much
The one thing that you know you'll never touch
Like the feeling, the real thing
I reach out for that sweet dream
But somehow the darkness wakes me up
I've felt this emptiness before
But all the times that I've been broken
I still run right back for more
You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You'd think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike the match
You're bound to feel the flame
You think that I'd learn the cost of love
Paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Yeah, well it turns out, I haven't learned a thing
Sometimes I think I'm better off
To turn out the lights and close up shop
And give up the longing, believing in belonging
Just hold down my head and take the loss
You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You'd think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike the match
You're bound to feel the flame
You'd think that I'd learn the cost of love
Paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Yeah, well it turns out, I haven't learned a thing
Yeah... I've not learned a thing... I've not...

Okay. Update on these two days.
First day. SMAE FOP. Lol. Reached school at 8am. Got into the Convention Center. Nothing much until 11am, except trying to keep myself awake. Had tea break, then listen to a talk on LIFE. LIFE. What a BIG word. Really must manage my finances le. I dun have as much money as I have now. Spend too much le... Lol... Erm. After the talk, we had lunch. Free, of course. Lol... Then met with my Personal Tutor and class. 20 guys, plus one girl. That's DARE/FT/1A/05. Lol... Know some names here and there. Fionia, or "Jigglypuff", or simply "Puffy", is our helper. Classmates are pretty friendly, and we had quite some stuff to talk about. Received our Flag Day kit. We were supposed to wear a black SP tee with this year's Flag Day's logo printed at the back. Free, of course, again. Is SP so rich? We get free buffets, good food at $10 for 4 days... Now tee-shirt. 3rd one somemore... LOL.... Then visited SPGG. SP Graduate's Guild. Lol... Quite cool la.. Membership fee is $200. Lol... No point joining?! There's Moberly! Lol... Then went home myself. Mass-added my classmates, and created a Facebook group for my class. Lol... Still no people de... Haha...
Second day. FLAG DAY! Supposed to report at 7.30am. Guess what? I woke up at 7.25am. Rushed down to Raffles Place and made 1A/05wait for me for half an hour. Ooops! So... Started off with the collection with my group, which ended with me pairing Yihong, and Jun Hao with Edmond. So walked around aimlessly and finally got to a spot and start collecting the donations. It was a pretty cool experience. First time sia! Lol... Then after a long wait, it was lunch. Was supposed to be at Burger King, but ended up at mac cos BK was FULL. So... Helped to sort out with the messy orders, and confirmed them. $159.55 for 22 meals. Lol... Mdm Keh treated us! Lol... Then after lunch was supposed to continue collecting, but most of our class decided to just, go home, get changed, and prepare for the night. Lol. So, head back home, dropped my bag, tidied myself, and returned to SP. Classroom was locked when I reached, so went to Moberly and joined the guys. Watch them play Guitar Hero then return to class. Counted our individual tins. I collected $44.40. Not bad la... Haha... Best in class was Izzuan, $73.75 (I think), so Mdm Keh topped up $50 for his collection as promised. Then each of us chipped in a bit, and made our class total collection to hit $1000! Haha... So, was tasked to recount the collected cash. My group counted the $1-coins. There were 262 of them. Damn shiok to count. Took some pictures of the stack of coins. Lol... Damn shuang! Haha...
Went back Moberly with Yi Hong, Edmond, Jun Hao, Michael and Joel (I think). Played a bit of pool and Band Hero... Lol... Played Drums all the time, cos I got the hang of it. Led the guys to Concourse for the Freshmen Orientation Party. Had a quick buffet dinner (Free again) and went into to the main hall. It looked more like a concert lor... Plus the band playing was... *squeeakk* *eeeeeeeeeeeee* OMG. Our ears couldn't stand it, so we went back Moberly and booked 2 more hours of Band Hero. Played an hour of Dota with them while waiting. I'm tempted to go back to Dota, but, I shall resist the temptation. Dota will hinder my plans in SP... Lol... Then Band Hero for an hour. Lol... Drums! Lol... Then Guitar Hero. Got 94% for What I've Done vocals. Yeah! Lol.. Then Michael played Eye of the Tiger on guitar, difficulty: Hard. And he managed to survive sia. Lol... So I follow suit and upped my diffculty level from Easy to Medium. Managed to pass! Haha... Had lots of fun with the guys, then went home. Lol... Was on the train with Jun Hao and Edmond. Talked about "vegetables" (inside joke), then hear them blabber about Dota. Lol... Just stood there and listen. Haha... Reached home, and I'm here. Okay. I'm tired from whole day of fun and activites. Cya peeps! I'm so gonna enjoy my life in SP!
PS: I'm so gonna join SMAE and probably SPSU. Leon is going to break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly! (quoted from Kaihong)

This is one day late, but....
I"M BACK FROM SMAE CAMP!
Ultimate fun for 4 days and 3 nights. Theme was Japanese environment. KamiYaki!!! Lol... Pictures are on facebook so go check it out yourself. Lazy to post them here. The best thing of the camp was the food. $10 for bloody awesome food and games. Lol... Now, going on to the details. I think I mixed up the itinerary abit.
First day, went to SP in a relaxed mood. Handed in my documents for Scholarship. Gathered at auditorium, and played ice-breaker games with random groups of people. Got to know some names. Then was split into the planned groups. More ice-breaker games then bunked. Thought of our group name. Kami-nabei. "Kami" meant "us" in Malay, "nabei" meant "hotpot" in Japanese. But when we went shouting "NABEI, NABEI", the OC wanted us to rename our group. Sounds vulgar you see. Renamed ourselves Kami-yaki, Us-Barbecue. Lol... Had lunch. It was damn nice. Rice with some meat and veg, yummy! Then more ice-breaker games. Had station games. And treasure hunt! Then learned cheers after dinner. Then slept. One of our GLs, or 'parents' was bullied by us. We called her 'Nutella', cos it rhymes with her alias name Stella, and we also had a Nutella clap! Haha...
Second day. Breakfast was bread with Skippy and NUTELLA. Like wtf. We didn't believe when Nutella told us we were having Nutella for breakfast. Lol... Had wet games under a hot weather. Didn't really get wet. One of the OCs got held down, and got a water bomb right in his groin. Aww... But the highlight was the Night Walk. But had to wait from 12am to 4am. LOL. Slept on the benches in Food Court #? (Around School of Business). Got bitten all over by ants, i think. But it was worth the wait. Didn't get scared actually, but I screamed when my partner screamed. Lol... End up I led the way. There was this part they had criss-crossed ramps between two buildings, damn nice architecture. LOL. Saw two "ghosts" by the side. At first they didn't scream, but one asked us to find her father, we 'huh-ed', then the other jumped at us and screamed. Damn freaking loud. Everyone was complaining about her shouting. One of my groupmates actually knelt down and was begging her to not shout so loud. 0.o After that we went thru some indoor corridors. Aircon-ed. Quite dark, then we tot they'll surprise us when we walk thru the door, in the end nothing. Lol. Then reach some damn cool open area. Got this coffin in the middle. Then I heard someone "Hi..." with a low tone, so I "hi" back. Then went down the stairs and he popped out, missed a step and scratched my heel. Zzzz... Read some scroll then head on. Walk through the dark outdoors with only light sticks illuminating the corridors. Supposed to have people scaring us, but we saw them moving away, guess they were going on break? Lol... Best and Funniest part was the Lecture Room. Completely dark when we led into the storeroom. The station master even told us that they were hearing stuffs not by them, which I believe was fake la... So, I went in first with my partner pulling my shirt, in complete darkness, so I felt my way in. Was suppose to go diagonally right into the room, and bow thrice, and pray for a smooth journey in SP. So did what I was told. Felt my way with the walls. I presume the room was freaking small. Then I tot I hit a pillar after moving a bout a metre in. So with a joking tone, I said, "Shit, pillar liao. Okay, so be it. *Bow* One time, *Bow* Two time, *Bow* Three time, okay, move back..." I swear I heard someone giggle when I was saying that. Then the door banged rapidly, obviously someone did it. The station master wanted us to get out immediately. So I slowly got back by the same walls again. My partner kinda freaked out, so he was shouting "Code Red, Code Red" (emergency signal when someone cannot take it), but I told him to follow me, felt the door knob and stepped out, with my partner still repeating "Code Red". Lol... Quite sian to pair up with a Scaredy Cat, not from my group de. 0.o.. So returned to our bunks, slept immediately cos it was like, 5am.
Third day, woke up at 10.30am. Had more wet games. This time, it was hell lot more better, and wetter. Started off with a race in the field. Tied our feet together. We had a lot of cohesion so we passed immediately. Then ran to EEE block, at least half a kilometre away. Passed ping-pong balls with spoons in our mouths. First again. Ran to some canteen, this time blow ping-pong balls on cups of water. Third to move out. Then ran to basketball court. Need to look for mentos in a plate of flour. Third to move out. Had memory game in Auditorium. Third again. Then back to EEE block. This time we had to transfer a bottle of water with our mouths across to a empty bottle. Have to use our saliva if not enough. Damn gross.. But passed, third again. Then street-soccer court, kena painted LEON on my cheeks. Lol. Then head to the field, last, and exhausted. Last station, and the best. SLIDE! So turned 30 rounds on the spot then, chiong towards a soccer goal with canvas on the floor, with water and soap. Slide into the goal! Haha... Damn fun. Had multiple tries, ending the race. Washed up and got into our camp tee! Had dinner and a bit of cheering. Then we had our Shim Night. Dressed up our brave volunteer. He looks absolutely like a girl, except for the armpit hair. Hahaha. So the groups presented their shims, but the OCs' shims were more epic. Definitely look like girl. Totally owned ours la. Lol. Kinda freaked out, cos the shims had to do all sorts of obscene actions, and it was damn gay... Then we cleaned up and partied! Gathered in a small room and had dance music. I didn't really dance until the end. Felt weird actually. So, the party ended after 2-3 hours. Slept immediately.
Fourth day, woke up at 10.30am and packed. Had final group shots before going back. Learnt the names of the OCs. Stella is actually Beanice. Pichu is Suria. Had a "Beanice Clap" for our informal shot, currently my facebook display pic!
Kamiyaki with Beanice Clap!
Haha... Break camp and head home, sick. Slept after unpacking my clothes. 7 hours, then woke up at 11pm. Surf net, added people from my camp on Facebook. Then slept for another 11 hours at 2am. Down with blocked nose, sore throat, headache, body aches.
So.... Woke up at 1pm today. Head of to SP after browsing the web. Saw pics of the camp coming up, but lazy to tag. Collected my student concession pass.
Admin card, concession pass, and wallet!
Had lunch at Food Court. I must say that the Iced Coffee is AWESOME! Had two cups. Met Kenneth, my primary school friend. He's in some IT course. Good to see him... =D Went Tampines to hunt for my over-dued water bottle. End up shopping.
Challenger: SonicGear speakers -------------- $15.90 USB Travel Adapter -------------- $16.90 Nokia USB Charger --------------- $9.90
Sportslink: Water Bottle -------------------- $26.00
Total --------------------------- $77.80
Omg.... I'm spending too much. Lol... Okay. Some overdue pictures.

Okay. Had a fun day with ZH, KH, SY and Corinne! Went to Orchard Cineleisure for Clash of the Titans in 3D! Lol... Actually, that was my first time watching a movie in 3D, from what I can recall. The 3D experience was rather nice, something new! Haha... But the movie isn't really great. Slightly disappointed. Story plot is so-so... Had a couple of gruesome fights though, like the battle against the giant scorpions. I kinda freaked out a little. But these fights always end very fast. The fight with the scorpions was ended by some magical creatures that controlled those scorpions. The movie ended kinda abruptly when the Kraken just collapse after being turned into stone. Okay. Enough of the movie. After the movie head down to Queensway Shopping Center as planned. Bought my shoe bag and sleeping bag! Yeah! Then head to Ikea. Pasta with Meatballs. Damn long never eat le. Then we sat around and chatted. Talked about random stuffs. Mostly talked about the funny stuffs that happened during our Sec 2 China Trips. Then talked abit bout school. LOL. Then had a walk around Ikea. Lazed around on those comfy sofas. Bought a Table Rack and a cool Storage Box. Then head home. KH sat down at one corner of the MRT train, and dozed off. Corinne took pictures of it! Haha... It's on facebook! Lol... Counted my total expenditure of the day, excluding transport
Lunch at KFC ------------- $7.70
Ticket ------------------------ $11.00
Padlock -------------------- $2.50

That's a lot sia... Lol.. Reached home, and cleaned my room. Table is now very tidy and my laptop is flanked by the stuffs I just bought. Swept and mopped my floor 3 times each. There's A LOT of dust la! Lol... I must try to maintain my room's cleanliness! Now I'm enjoying Adam Lambert's and Daughtry's albums. Lol... Daughtry is better than Adam Lambert! Lol. Maybe it suits me more la.
SMAE Camp is coming! THURSDAY! I've been looking forward to it for like, one whole month?! Lol... Erm... Kinda prepared my clothes le. All nicely folded and neatly placed in my drawer. I'm just waiting for Wednesday night to camp and I'll pack everything in! Lol... I WANT MY CAMP NOW! 0.o
Okay, shall end off with a song. Can't get the music video here cos embedding is disabled. Meanwhile, I'll get my microwave my hotdog bun!
I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.
Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.
The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love remains true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.
So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.
Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.

Ahhhh.... Just ONE more day! And I'll have a long break from work! Wheee... But these two days were freaking hectic. Worked to the maximum hours possible without OT. Lol... Erm. Attempted to run MDS myself on Friday, but failed terribly. I forgot the condiments on my first order. Like, wtf?! Then got damn stressed when three orders came in at one shot. Was pulled out and thrown back into the kitchen after one hour. Lol. Just realize that I get real fast after doing a bit of MDS, like, when doing the burger and counting money. Sian sia.... Hope I can be fast everytime. Lol...
Currently playing Supreme Commander 2! Rather fun. Got some basic unit strategies to go with. Like, making use of the factories' shields to position turrets, building multiple research centers to build experimentals, making use of long range capabilities. They got some awesome experimentals, Like the Fatboy long-range ground-to-ground heavy tank. Lol.... Keeps me playing for hours lor... Haha. Okay ba... Need to end off. Got a even more hectic day ahead! Cya! Will end of with a song that I've been listen in my store.

Just want to say that I've already tried my best. Since you want it this way, so be it. I can't do anything else. You've won me over and over again. I can't do anything else. I can't say anything either. How about, "Thank you, see you again?!" I hope not. You've hurt me over and over again, and you'll never realize how much pain I've been through...

APRIL FOOL'S!
Lol... This year one isn't fun for me at all.. I completely forgot until I reached home from work. Well. Only prank received was from the online game I'm obsessed about.
BATTLEMASTER!
So, Tom, the programmer and the creator of the game gave me rather good scare.
I freaked out a little when I saw this. Went to mIRC to check with my fellow game mates.. So, their advice was to complain to the patent office. So I clicked the link:
GOTCHA
WOW.... So, was still able to get back into the game...
RELIEVED!
Lol.... Thanks a lot lor...
