a lagg in time.

i remember there was a time when Friday was my designated "day of slack". this could mean 1) I just not do any work and chat with friends or watch tv, or 2) I do the pieces of work that I want to do, regardless of priority. today, since I've had a murderous 3 weeks, i decide for it to be the former. here i am.

I just finished watching Michael Buble's DVD "Caught in the Act" (that thing has been sitting there for weeks!) and I must say, he is my idol. He is so comfortable on stage and he is funny, and he cares about his audience. I think sometimes he edges arrogance, but i say it's massive confidence. if i could perform half as well as him I would be happy. haha, I was constantly thinking of RS and SI while watching it.

speaking of SI, and this is directed to you Lionel, I think Mathilda is good. I think she can sing, and if anyone of you cannot accept that, then I think your taste in music should go down into the bowl. I agree with Lionel that yes, she has a disadvantage in the competition and might not go far, but I don't like the fact that he thinks she should leave because she doesn't look as good as some of the other contestants! i was thinking of ranting about this. it's a sad world when you realize that looks become a big part of today's society. but as much as i wish to believe that whatever's inside is what counts, I have to admit that if you look good, you have things easier.

a few days back I felt rather alone. not sure why, but it was after soccer. when I was leaving, i suddenly felt a surge of "whole-world-daoing-me-ness" that wasn't fun to say the least. people who came along to see me changing and reading on the floor behind my desk would remember. i've shifted cliques, i must say. from the Aaron+Victor+Yu Jun(+more recently, Rainer+VicQ+Brian+Xian Jie) clique, to the... what? where am I now? ok now i know i hang out alot with people like Ming Quan, Jason, JK (with whom my disagreement has been now well known), Mark maybe... And the people sitting around me. But where am I? I don't have any really close friends in this class. and when you have people that totally clash with you like Lionel (for his ego and worldly view on the world) and VicW (for his terribly... un-subtextual personality)... It's hard. I fall back on my other friends for that reason.

here's my new bio teacher, for all to see. he was reported chatting with Liang Jie's (a.k.a. LL Cool J (lame)) brother, who coincidentally was our PE teacher.

haha kidding. but you should see the resemblance. the hair the face the voice.

That's the bio teacher, Mr. Matthew Chuah on the far left (i don't know the rest, but i think the guy on the far right is called Jianhong. then there's a Koh Tai Wee or something.):















Graduated/enrolled in RJ in 2002 i think, and has been through NS. SLT2 if I'm not wrong. Here's him on the right for a change:















That guy is i think his best bud (in camp at least, and to the guy at least). Well, I know more than one person that think he's hot. And i think he would find it really funny.
