my brain's working again!

woohoo, i've got all my plans sorted out.
9th month celebration will be off a simple one,
meal-venue will be spaghetti-too;
oh god, it's been long since the last time. three months ago, to be exact.
then we'll be off to the cinema? gonna catch four-bia.

four-bia; a spoonful of horror with a pinch of humour.
heard it's quite appealing and offers something new.
what more can you expect, four horror tales back-to-back.
sounds coooooool? but it's only available in shaw cinema.
so yeah, most probably heading to JEC, again..
LOLS.

then friday! weekly prayers at al-istighfar mosque over at pasir ris!
dearest would have to wait for me.
once the clock hits three, we would most likely be settled at hei sushi!
a revisit, hell yeah!
a return to meet my best friend, fried hotate! wooooohoooo!
HAHA.
man oh man, holidays holidays.
gotta make the best out of the nine days in between the end of dearest's examinations and the start of ramadhan. (: (: (:
dear, be excited! hehe.

saturday, maybe a hiatus?
cos i'll be heading down to my aunt's place for a gathering.
so-not looking forward to it. :(

but hey, hey! on monday, i'll be hitting the ground running once again!
maybe.. we'll have our sports day! hours of badminton, football and.. ping pong, maybe?
man, i can't help but wait. (:

for the rest of the days, a lot of other exciting activities will be in store!
the fish spa, sentosa and prawning!
hehehehehehe, i'm so high now.
can't wait for the coming week.

well for now, just a lil' concentration on my last remaining paper, the killer ENGMEC!
arrrrghhh, i have no confidence at all.
but too bad, life has got to go on.
and like i've always told dearest; to overcome your fears, you have to face it.
so here i am, preparing for that one final obstacle!
a carrot at the end of the race, baby!
a whole exciting week with dearest!
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

till then, i'll be off on a hiatus for awhile, i guess.
cos i see my life stagnating for the next few days. LOLS.
so yeah, wish me a million lucks for my final paper, people. (:
and god will bless you millions back. (:

goodie-nights!
till you read again.

loves to my dearest chua shilin;
million loves, indeed.

new chapter. (:

Allah gave me one final chance today,
a chance for me to repent and rectify my mistakes.
and i'm taking it with open arms, and i'm keen to make full use of it.

i'm down with gratefulness, today was an excellent start.
and i'm hoping it'll stay that way.
i feel refreshed, i feel anew.
it'll be a new beginning with dearest.

long gone all those days, and here i am,
on the ninth month of my relationship,
vowing to change my forgettable habits, disgusting lifestyle.

a different isham, dearest. HEHE.
i love you always. (:

the fourteenth!

woooooooooooohooooo, fourteenth's here again!
and yeappie! it's the ninth month!
seems kinda long, been through lots of rough times together.
but here we are, dear and me, still going strong. (:

one bad thing though, we aren't gonna celebrate today. :(
cos my examination kicks off tomorrow.
but it's okay, 21st august will be of total awesomeness!
though i'm still cracking my head hard, to find ideas.
LOLS.

and so that'll be all for this post.
blog again soon, i guess. get updated! (:

once again, happy ninth month, dearest!
may we continue this till the bitter end!
i love you so much, sweetheart! (:

national day!! pictures. :)

national day 2008 @ marina bay

the first picture i took, a view of the stage, from my seat.
that's the view, to my right.
the iconic singapore view, to my diagonal right.
the huge floodlight, and the lighting tower, to my diagonal left.
singapore flyer! to my diagonal south-west.
that cloud, that threat which dimmed a perfect occasion.
a scene, relatively similar to independence day film!
the celebration opener, jet-ski display!
cheerleaders on the spotlight, a number hail from NP.
the red lions, gracing through the dim skies.

the HOMEteam motorcycles circling the upper tier.
schools' uniform group marching up the stage.
military defences forming NDP 08!
water display greeting the darkening skies.
smoke; blame it on the fireworks.


wow, singapore. a wonderful island.
20 of the 37 lit-up fish-shaped air balloons.
fullerton and his taller company; the nightlife.
focus's on the skyscrapers.
towers in blackout mode. no lah, just a camera flash mistake.



the neon spotlights did wonders. here, orange.
here, beams of blue. with the automated-erected towers.
orange and purple. awesome!
i certainly like this one, pleases my eyes.
and finally, the best for the last. the finale!




showtime's over.
we were the only ones left in our section.
whoa, a beauty. i've loved water displays since young.
beams of water jetting towards the skies.
the final picture taken of the day, ndp 08. (:

away from the spotlight, dear and me enjoy the flashes!

credits to dear, all the trouble to capture it for me. (:
red lights unleashing its blinding power. sl looks hot in here.
man, i certainly look bad in photos. i'm growing cheeks!
this gotta be one of my best shot. (: love the trembles.

the flyer wants some focus too.
another trembling effect, unintentionally.
this one's a good one too, at least i look kinda good here.
pardon all the spoutings, that's the only way i'm not going to look chubby.
my fav photo of the day! i love dear to bits! (:

national day!!

man, oh man! i gotta swear, yesterday was the coolest shit ever!
it was NATIONAL DAY, people!
and i was one of the 27,000 witnessing the brilliance of the celebration!
the atmosphere was, whoaaaa, simply astounding!
and so much sweeter, that dearest was there sharing the moment with me. :)
it feels great, to be a single drop in a sea of crimson!


another perfect day began with a meet-up with dearest.
i was late like everytime; man, i'm always a procrastinator.
decided to meet up at 2 initially, but i was still minutes late even when the timing was changed to 2.30.

that's oh-so-'isham. LOLS
man hella, dear was the sexiest red-and-white yesterday. couldn't afford to take my eyes of her. HEHE.

so yeah, began our lenghty journey to marina in bus 97.
dear managed to revise a lil', and besides that, managed to capture pictures of our excited faces!
alighted at marina square, and wandered around, deciding what to have for lunch.
and yes, yes. we were back to pizza hut! it's been months since we had our last couple's delight.
come on, that's the most affordable meal for a special occasion like this.
meat galore for our regular pizza, along with cream of chicken, the six-piece spicy chicken and a glass of pepsi!
total bill was $35+. quite okay. and the funniest part, we couldn't get our card payment for the bill approved. so the lady had to repeat her dialling procedure time & time again. was pretty frightened, cos didn't have much cash with me. LOLS.
but it was all over within minutes. (:


and hey, hey! i had a pleasant surprise while i was engrossed in my pizza!
i had this guy staring through the wall for quite some time.
so i had glances at him, checking out who he was. and man, i even looked at him right in the eye for a few times. but i still couldn't get my recognising-mode right. LOLS.
and hell, it was my own long-time-never-see bestest buddy!
it was noel!
whoa sey, didn't know he's already into the game. he's attached now.
thought he was one who doesn't love, and don't get loved.
it was fabulous to see him again, he's changed pretty much.


okay, back to the topic. dearest and me had decided earlier to be by the stands at 4.45.
and so, had to rush our meal, which we did. everything was already running according to plan.
so we were dashing against the crowd, finding the exit. but...
the 'best' thing that could happen on a rather special day, occurred.
dearest, she broke her slippers. or rather, the strap got detached! LOLS.
what a time, what a time!
thoughts of reaching the stands on time suddenly diminished.
i was more concerned about dear; i know the embarassment she had to shoulder.
i've gone through the same exact scenario.
and i was as ridiculously desperate as dear to get a new pair of footwear.
chey, sounds like i'm picturing myself as a concerned boyfriend. HAHA.
come on, i was, and i am. (:


haha. joke of the day.
at the midst of our running-around-to-get-a-footwear, there was this bridal promoter who flashed a leaflet to me and asked, 'want to get married?'.
i was like laughing my heart out!
wth, dear and me certainly don't look like 20+, are we?
i mean, hey brother, get your customers right.
don't shoot at anyone. the couple behind us were also teenagers man, i can tell. LOLS.


after the huge hoohaa, dearest got a new pair of adorable pumps from Charles & Keith, again.
i have to say, she appeared more attractive with the new one. HEHE.
and then, off we go again! to the marina multi-purpose hall! (:


right from the ticketing entrance, i have to say the celebration was very well-organised.
the security was tight, and the ushers were jovial, greeting us throughout our whole stroll to the hall.
the walk was rather long, as the green sector were close to the other end of the gallery.
took our funpacks, and a copy of 8 days.
saw a number of familiar faces, namely my-long-lost-primary-schoolmate, nafisah; my NP futsal teammate, guan xiong; and my FOC camp leader, denise.

flights of stairs we had to climb, but i was okay with that.
was more worried about dearest, cos she had her new, tight pumps on, which caused her some pain.
got our seat, which promised a good view. the tag on my seat read: 63-67.


the performances were reasonably good. i couldn't clearly remember the sequence of the concert though. but it was good.
but hey. the red lions and the black knights stole the show man!
i come from the aerospace, and sure i was amazed, fascinated, captivated, mesmerized or whatever vocab that comes to your mind, when i was able to witness the acrobat planes in action! woohoo, fantastic!
man, the vertical loops, the heart shape.. i'm in love with planes! LOLS.


finale was superb, with hady and joi closing the celebration with this year's theme song,
SHINE FOR SINGAPORE! (:
performers invaded the platform, as the luminous, sparkly glitters of fireworks lit marina!
leaving thousands and thousands of people in awe, and leaving us in applause after minutes of display.


no, no. the celebration didn't end there.
post-parade party was up next, and it was CLUBBING time!
dj george, of st. james' power station was in the house!
with the speakers letting out pulses of beats, and the likes of apologise, when i grow up, don't stop the music rocking the night, dear and i decided to lepak the emptying gallery.

by the time my seiko watch showed 9.15, we were alr on our way exiting the hall.
walked down to the stretch of road graced by mr. president earlier, and was just metres away from the performing platform.
then came the hassle, finding our way to the nearest bus stop.
eventually took our bus at the suntec convention hall, and the trip back home seemed longer.
maybe cos we took a different bus service, and maybe cos i was suffering stomach aches that i was too yearning to reach home asap. LOLS.

our wonderful outing ended with our routinal nine-kisses, and a huge wave to MY ONE and ONLY singapore-flag-like sweetheart!
man, i love her so much!
and it's always lovely to bring her to special occasions.
her excitement and enthusiasm would always get me in the right mood.
another perfect outing, another remarkable piece of reminiscence into our memory. (:

next up, our 9th month celebration!
i'm still in a state of cracking-up-my-brain, clueless of where we'd be heading to spend our time.
but don't worry, dear. just know that it'll be a great one, like always. (:

i love you always, darling. (:

what, what?! NDP!

whoa. i haven't been blogging for so long!
the final post was like a week ago, and that was even an entry that dear posted for me.
she's damn smart, she broke into my blogger account.
naughty, naughty. LOLS.

okay, okay. everything aside.
chalet plans were a total failure.
but hey, at least we've got sth to cheer about right, dearest? hehe.

it'll be my first live NATIONAL DAY PARADE!
woohoo, damn high. damn excited!
and it'll be with dear, so much to make the occasion sweeter!
hehe.
one dilemma though, i'm lacking of ideas.
and also, lacking of clothes to wear there.
HAIS. nothing in my wardrobe matches.
but it's okay, 4 more days to crack my head.
so yeah, hoping it'll be one hell of a great day!
till then, take care everyone. (:

loves, dearest.
