Craig David - Don't Love You No More.

For all the days that I’ve known you baby
I can’t figure out the reason why lately
You’ve been acting so cold (didn’t you say)
If there’s a problem we should work it out
So why you giving me the cold shoulder now
like you don’t want to talk to me girl (tell me)
okay I know I got pissed off again
I made you mad and said the wrong things
but why you making this thing drag on so long (I wanna know)
I’m sick and tired of this silly game
don’t think that I’m the only one here to blame
it’s not me who’s been going round ignoring calls

That’s when you sms-ed and said to me
I don’t care babe who’s right or wrong
I just don’t love you no more

Rain outside my window pouring down
what now, you’re gone, my fault, I’m sorry
feeling like a fool cos I let you down
now it’s not too late to turn it around
I’m sorry for the tears I’ve made you cry
Don't make this time really goodbye
Please don't go and say
"I just don’t love you no more"

I know that I’ve made a few mistakes
but never thought things would turn out this way
doesn’t make sense to me now that you’re gone (I see it all so clearly)
me at the door with you in a state
giving my reasons but as you look away
I can see a tear roll down your face

That’s when you turned and said to me
I don’t care babe who’s right or wrong
I just don’t love you no more

Rain outside my window pouring down
what now, you’re gone, my fault, I’m sorry
feeling like a fool cos I let you down
now it’s too late to turn it around
I’m sorry for the tears I’ve made you cry
I guess this time it really is goodbye
you made it clear when you said
I just don’t love you no more
Those simple words hit so hard
they turned my whole world upside down
girl you caught me completely off guard
at the time you said to me
"I just don’t love you no more"

Royal Closure.

2006-02-02T17:14:00.000+08:00

I'm moving from this blog.

Too much invested emotions here, I really can't handle it.

Will post my new avenue for writings in my next post.
Feelings for you are still fresh.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing has/will change that.

At least for me.

Hear from me soon, people. Chill.

Royal Closing.

2006-02-02T09:04:00.000+08:00

YES!

Did closing for Cocoon yesterday. Quite sastified with earning my own keep, even though it was a measly amount. Worked only from 6pm til 10.. all alone. Bah, not goin into the specifics on why I did not ask people down... it's just f*cked up. Trying to scrimp and save to go to KL, which by the look of things, might end up compromised; like all the usual plans. So I seriously am not looking forward to any bloody fun now. (unless I have the tickets in hand ^^)

Royal Ends.

2006-02-01T14:58:00.000+08:00

Love, 24 hours at a time.
Don't look too far into the future.
We all know shit happens.
Just don't know when it will.
Who's to say how my wedding will be?
Or where it would be held?
The palm trees by the coastline,
Quaint silk decor.
Mere illusions, nothing more.
To promise forever, thats the job of prophets.
I only have here and now.
My love, 24 hours at a time.

Royal Dong-Dong Qiang!

2006-01-31T11:25:00.000+08:00

Dong Dong Qiang!

This year's Chinese New Year has been rather exciting! Firstly, the reunion dinner at Swissotel was a brand new experience. Mum got tired of sloggin over the stove, so we made reservations for mum, aunt, cousin, monster and me. Sounds awesome doesn't it?

Imagine international buffet, chic hotel, top-rated customer service and can I stress buffet again?.. Then I forgot.. I'm in Singapore. You know.. Singaporeans? KIASU-ISM? It was a horrible time trying to queue for food when aunties were pressing their plates against your back; inching you to move on; WHEN the person in-front of you was taking his sweet-uncle time to choose which chicken bits he wanted or not. Very pissed. Not to mentioned the confined buffet area which was impossible to house the hundred odd diners. I have no tolerance for Singaporean behaviour. BLEH.

WARNING : This entry has nothing within to warrant a smile to anyone. It has been written on the spur of the moment and all offensive materials will be not accounted for. Why? Cos you read it at your own risk.

Somehow, I find myself sad. But I can be sadder. Why does everything to be one huge disappointment? Has it been self-inflicted? When you expect a lot.. does the disappointment come harder? I appreciate effort, even a slight hint of its existence is good. But when somehow, it seems none has been shown, or worst, decisions made just because "i don't feel like it"... I hate it A LOT. Aha! Then again, who cares? No. I cannot go on thinking someone cares. No one cares about me more than myself. No one can take my shit more than myself. I know I'm happy. But I can be happier.

Royal Geisha

2006-01-24T22:50:00.000+08:00

Memoirs of a Geisha.

Watch it. Even if you have to pay an arm and leg for it. This movie is a theatrically awesome, if there's even such a term, heh. Simply put, the cinematography of this movie is brilliant! Character development was not complicated and I could esthablish a connection with Momo (Gong Li) in the show.. Me think she's HOT. Even hotter than Sayuri (Zhang Zi Yi), I conclude. I give it a generous 9/10 for it! Especially since it has humor/romance/violence all rolled into a perfect 2 hours, plus minus...

Royal Chalet

2006-01-10T21:00:00.000+08:00

Alright, not that anyone cares. (But they should, cos I'm important dammit.):
Ashbaby and I are, for a fact, very much together. Yes yes, there were a few arguments, but we are together. Everything's fine now, pheww. However, the arguments has caused the lack of photos for Christmas and New Year's Eve. BUT. BUT. BUT!...

We took this photo at her friend's 21st birthday chalet!
I think it's awesome.
So tada!

That is all for my 3rd proper post of 2006!
(Now be nice and tag dammit! =D)

Aerosmith- I Don't Want to Miss A Thing.

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing,
Watch you smile while you are sleeping,
While you're far away and dreaming,
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender,
I could stay lost in this moment forever,
When every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure,

I don't wanna close my eyes,
I don't wanna fall asleep,
Cause I'd miss you babe,
And I don't wanna miss a thing,
Cause even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream would never do,I'd still miss you babe,
And I don't wanna miss a thing.

Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating,
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming,
Wondering if it's me you're seeing,
And then I kiss your eyes,
And thank God we're together,
I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever,
Forever and ever.

And I don't wanna miss one smile,
I don't wanna miss one kiss,
I just wanna be with you,
Right here with you, just like this,
Well I just wanna hold you close,
And feel your heart so close to mine,
And just stay here in this moment,
For all the rest of time

For someone who looks like him... he sure knows how to write a beautiful love song. <3 steven tyler and his daughter

Royal BAN ON AEROSOL SPRAYS

2006-01-01T21:38:00.000+08:00

http://new.petitiononline.com/aerosol/petition.html

Above is the link to an online petition for the banning of aerosol sprays. It has been noted that these products have been used by some men to take advantage of Singaporean girls who want to have fun during festive seasons; which we really should not ignore as a problem!

if your special someone has been hurt in the past, would'nt you sign it too?

Royal New Year.

2006-01-01T15:32:00.000+08:00

YAY! It's 2006!

You know it's the new year when you require at least 2 weeks before you can write "2006" with alteration on application forms/foolscap. That's probably the only difference in a new year because everything else is the same. Same people you know. Relationship problems don't just erase themselves just because "it's a new year". Then again, the fact that there's another 365 days to fix it, I'm sure there will be a resolution somewhere for everyone of us. We just have to work at it; even if it means giving it up.

Spent New Year's Eve at church. Well... at least til 10pm. Then after much and I really mean MUCH deliberation, decided to go to Xie Jun and Pauline's party at Far East Square. I remember last year's party was at Harbourfront and a cosy pub. But this year... ohhh myy! Fluid Bar and Kitchen. Freaking happening can? There was a dance floor! That's enough to warrant a huge grin =D Party go-ers there were bopping to the music too~! Perfection. I always believe that a party should be about dancing; sitting and sipping all night just isn't my style please! Dancing allows you to go crazy without looking crazy cos everyone else is doing it. Awesome two hour long solid dancing! The DJ killed the beat with some alternative tracks la.. Eeyur.

Janet and a few friends wanted to head down to Ministry of Sound.. but upon arriving, the queue and the cover charge was a huge turn-off. Got to see many many Lambos and Ferraris at the private carpark though. MoS looks kinda happening from reports and external experience.. Would definitely want to go there someday ahem*ashley*ahem.

4am. Home. Concussed.
Good enough of a New Year. /nods profusely

Royal Bummer.

2005-12-30T00:23:00.000+08:00

Pop goes the bubble.

Mmm, studied in school today. I'd say it was fruitful. Met a new buddy, name's John. If I'd describe him in three words it would be "Full of crap". Then again, it's awesome. We understand each other's jokes. We both can handle racism yippie!

Someone's not feeling well. And fell asleep. Thank goodness I found out she's asleep. Or else my whole night I'll be sitting here waiting like a dumbarse. So goodnight to you! Hope ya feel better tommorrow! I'm sure you will! There's nothing sleep can't cure... maybe besides an overdose of sleep.. mmmm... whatevers.

Royal Someone

2005-12-27T22:47:00.000+08:00

I can't keep it down. I'm seeing someone.

I've developed a crowd phobia ever since this Christmas. The multitude in Orchard is really sianz-fying. Imagine having to shove and push around under our tropical weather. Blehs. Utterly disgusted. So for all those going to town to count-down to the new year, HAVEFUN! Enjoy being squirted by "foreign talents" and yourself or your girl five-fingered all over! Take heed and avoid la!

Watched Narnia with someone yesterday.
Wasn't too horrible a movie la. It's like a cha pa lang of many movies into one. Don't you agree? Can you not see the resemblence of "Series of Unfortunate Events", "Lion King", "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" in Narnia? But still... it was enjoyable. Someone cried when Aslan sacrificed himself. I wonder why people can be emotionally touched when a talking lion dies for another person... but when they hear of Jesus coming from Heaven to be tortured and hung on the cross, they can be so indifferent..

Royal Bubble

2005-12-25T23:19:00.000+08:00

I'm in a happy bubble now.

It doesnt take much to put me in this mood!

Royal Gaze.

2005-12-24T16:39:00.000+08:00

the blankness of your gaze. -charles

a month ago
we got together for the first time.
it was pure euphoria.
never felt so much fire,
perhaps never will ever.
you took my life by storm.
became my centre piece.
i never thought i'd see the blankness of your gaze.

remember the embraces.
the tightly sealed kisses.
don't forget the words i said,
that evening at somerset.
i did not mean to lie.
to let you go. i did try.
i failed horribly at that.
i never thought i'd see the blankness of your gaze.

so i call.
once. and twice.
thrice to hear the dial tone.
you will grow tired of my incesssent whines.
i know that because i've been abandoned
wish it was that easy to put up a front.
or perhaps i just "don't want".
i now see the blankness of your gaze.

so what if you were the one.
words in lines don't mean nothing.
if i stood, if i sat.
if i took the next step...
i would be thinking of you and your warm hugs.
it would remind me of suntec.
stupid that it's become this.
i only see the blankness of your gaze.

Royal Christmas Eve.

But who knows? They're all away.

My imitation of postsecret.blogspot.com

I can sit here all day, staring at you.

Royal Someday.

2005-12-22T10:57:00.000+08:00

Someday we'll know - New Radicals
90 miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving
I don't know why
So many questions
I need an answer
Two years later you're still on my mind
Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart
Who holds the stars up in the sky
Is true love just once in a lifetime
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?

(chorus)
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you

Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the 97th time..... tonight

(chorus)
(yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Someday we'll know
Why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you

I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash in the sea
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren't you here with me....tonight

Royal Kiss and Tell.

2005-12-22T00:58:00.000+08:00

Tell me why we intertwined our fingers even though we're just friends? We're so bloody meant for each other despite our differences! Don't try to explain why you can't express your love. Just love for the moment, Ashley. Allow me to be your special someone, it means so much yet nothing at the same time, but it is sufficient to keep me smiling. Are you worth it all?

For sure.

Without a doubt.

2005-12-22T00:57:00.000+08:00

WROTE A BLOODY POST BUT IT GOT WIPED BY BLOGGER!

Thanks a million you twat of a Internet!

Royal Hungup.

2005-12-18T15:07:00.000+08:00

Happy post!
I mean, for the past few post with Ashbaby, it's all smiles and sweet nothings huh? I guess it's about time it all changed. Encountering bumps in the relationship as soon as we hit the first month. I hate bumps.

By theory, no one would care if I blogged and whined.
But I'm too darn tired of rules now. I'm waiting for her call.. cos I admit, I screwed up bad last night, pissed her off and... yea, reaping the harvest of my transgression. Immatured mindset, seriously, I have enough of myself. I think life has been a great joke to me thus far.. I've never really worked hard for anything and as each of my dreams get snuffed out, I just watch as new hopes whizz pass me. I'm not an achiever. Unlike her.. I've not been exposed to the grown up world.. and thus... we think differently.

Which is good?

Sometimes.

But I hold her back. I'm like an anchor that disapproves of her voyage into the great unknown. Funny how I realise it, but make no progress in letting go. In the process, I invoke negative thoughts and that leads to uttering the wrong words. Why can I admit my flaws.. yet do nothing to change them? Is it because I'm human; weak and useless by my own strength? I need divine intervention to enlighten me? God? Perhaps backslidding so long has made me... invisible on His radar.. Has He forsaken me to struggle on my own, so that I realise failure is all that awaits when I walk this life alone?

Relationships are pure extremes. Either pure euphoria or pure agony.

Royal Month.

2005-12-17T22:58:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time.. Nothing much really to update.

Workplace romance?

Was helping out at Cocoon with Ashbaby on the 16th. Free labour and all, but we had loads of fun! Played many rounds of Uno with this primary 4 kiddo.. she's VERY talkative but interesting at the same time. However, we all agree she has too strong a character for society... but she'll learn it on her own, through some way... that's how we all learn don't we?

Royal Unification.

2005-12-11T20:54:00.000+08:00

Nothing's been up!

Except the birth of a newborn!

"Wha?! So quick?!"
If that's what you're thinking then check this out.

Royal Zathura.

2005-12-07T21:31:00.000+08:00

Zathura sucked.

It's just like Jumanji-in-outer-space movie. Firstly, the game's plot revolving around a board game ... well.. kinda got me bored. Pun intended. The script was so cliche! And although it was under the fantasy genre, the plot really got out of point too. I hate movies where elements just anyhow don't make sense, directors have the responsibility to make sure audiences understand the basic background before confusin us with nonsensical computer generated crap.

Bah. Should have watched Saw 2 instead. >.<

Anyhooos. Met Ashbaby for the first time since she's been back from Hong Kong!

Picked up a prize from the Greenwave event at Goodwood Park in the morning. The prize was presented by Dr Vivian Balakrishnan himself, ooo. He's quite a awe-inspiring speaker. He gives me hope in the future of Singapore's government.

Curbed my calamari craving at FarEast Plaza! I nearly gave up hope on ever eating GOOD CALAMARI after Constant Cravings closed down. But "British Chippy" at Level One makes relatively sastifying deep fried squid too =) 4.15 for 18 pieces. GO AND GET YOUR'S!

Royal Sensation.

2005-12-03T21:40:00.000+08:00

I don't wanna lose my sense of touch.
Cos then I can't feel my fingers through your hair.

I dont' wanna lose my sense of sight.
Cos then I can't behold your face in the morn.

I don't wanna lose my sense of taste.
Cos then I can't enjoy your bubblegum tongue.

I don't wanna lose my sense of smell.
Cos then I can't bask in your DKNY.

I don't wana lose my sense of hearing.
Cos then I can't smile when you call me "dear".

I don't wanna lose you.
Cos then my senses would make no sense.

Ashbaby's been gone for more than 24 hours. Hong Kong seems so far away but in fact, they have the exact timezone as us. Wierd. Thank God she has access to a phone, albeit her sister's. I'm fighting the temptation to flood the inbox with nonsensical messages... Just 2 more days. i'll survive.. =D

Royal Farewell.

2005-12-02T00:35:00.000+08:00

My baby's gonna be gone for 4 days 3 nights.

Stolen by the dim sums and shopping of Hong Kong!

How dare they!
I WANT MY ASHLEY BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Royal Pastamaniacs.

2005-11-29T22:55:00.000+08:00

WE ARE BACK TOGETHER.

Sorry for the rollercoasting status. After 1 day of being apart, of advice seeking, of "Here By Me", of soul searching.. We're back at it again. There's so much "friends" can't do. Clean your filthy minds and no, I don't mean "that"... Friends don't share the physical bond that goes beyond words.. It's complex, just go think about it.

Made cheesecake last night, without Ashbaby knowing.. then brought it to her this morning. Had to get moving early before the heat of day melts my cheesecake of love. Surprised her with a call summoning her down to meet me, at her bus-stop... Ashbaby counter surprised by taking 1 hour to wash up just to come down. >.<>
Easy and fun to make! We added beef balls into the mix and it turned out quite good a substitution for Swedish meatballs!

ANYHOOS! :

At Ikea. Only thing cuter than the monster is her. OKAY!?

Le Pasta of Ashbaby.

1) Ashbaby does not condone the killing of cattle for food!

2) "Cos they're so freaking cute!" she says.

3) "Then again... anything cute that stands in my way becomes..."

Royal Spree.

2005-11-28T01:54:00.000+08:00

I'm on spree. An outburst of energy!

I'm not just gonna let someone go,
Just cos she said so.
It's about time to test the limits,
Being apart might just do it.

I trust ya with all my heart,
So go ahead and adventure.
Clubs , bikinis and boy pals..
I promise not to give ya a session of "question and answer".

I questioned you. I questioned us.
I question me. I lost your trust.
This time apart might mend or break.
As you enjoy, don't forget what's at stake.

As the Korean dramas still go on,
I wouldnt be expecting anymore calls.
But use me as your last resort,
I'll still be here to break your falls.

Royal Clear Up.

2005-11-28T01:19:00.000+08:00

So we decided to take a break.

TAKE A BREAK. Not simply br ea k.

Ashley thinks we're bullet-training too fast towards the future. So yesh, we're now back to friends. I'm not changing the link or my Friendster status, cos face it guys... It's not OVER. I remember a once tantalising Christina Aguilera singing "If it's your's it'll come back to you.." Apply this now and leave it to God. Leave it all to Him who made it happen from the very beginning. This entire event has been wonderful. You've been wonderful.

Royal Dead Line.

2005-11-28T00:58:00.000+08:00

So the story went , 10 days.

Royal Growing Up.

2005-11-24T19:24:00.000+08:00

Decided against initial disbeliefs and applied to sign-on under the Navy.

In recent plight of financial crisis in the family. I guess it's not an option to run around, spending months job-less after National Service. It's do or die for me. Seriously, though, I understand that everything happens for a reason. If this is the way God wants me to suddenly mature up, I guess it's no point being whiny and being pessimistic.

And so, under such series of unfortunate events, I can feel myself growing up.. the glitter and appeal of games and fun are suddenly becoming dimmer. Unlike the vice-like grip World of Warcraft used to have on me... I begin to feel a sort of release.. who knows? I might even drop the game soon.

Been really moody in school these past days,with the future being excitingly scary.

Through all these, I count my biggest blessing in finding the one person who places her love in me. I can say that what I'm about to embark on is partly because of her.. because of our future. Know what will totally suck? ; If she came back next November and find that I am assigned to sail to somewhere for months... It horrifies me, deeply. Will you still be around Aiway?

Whatever comes, I pray that I'll be given strength to overcome.

Looking forward to the Bangkok trip next year though.
Wanna come? Apply with a tag or sms to me =)
Currently looking at 10th - 14th Feb. (Friday to Tuesday)

Royal Esplanade Outing.

2005-11-21T21:40:00.000+08:00

Ashbaby was supposed to go for the interview at 3pm. But upon calling the agency up, they required her to stay til 10 pm, which was in my opinion, a load of bullcrap. So she called to tell them of her refusal to turn up... so when they realised she's someone special to me, they crapped their pants and immediately rescheduled another time for her to turn up tommorrow at 9am. I, as the ever benevolent one, forgave their ignorance and brushed this matter aside.

OH YEA RIGHT!
hahaha.

Surprised Ashbaby with a Green Day cd when she went to the toilet. Was at Sembawang music and saw her holding on the CD with such puppy-eyed facial expressions... so what to do? a) To go over my budget and let my gastric juices eat my own stomach lining for the next week or b) just buy my Ashbaby the CD?

So DUH, of course choice "a".

Since Ashbaby dint go to work, we decided to head to Esplanade for sight seeing. Singapore doesn't have much easily accessible venues of romantic value >.< took a few photos at the open air "roof-top" of the Durian. Thank God for fine weather. Proceeded to shelf-shopping at Carrefor.

Meet Ashley, my Bliss-Machine.

Royal Princess!

2005-11-18T22:57:00.000+08:00

1 year 3 months and many days since my last relationship ended.

What better way to celebrate it than to get into another! I woke up yesterday morning and thought to myself.. "Wow. I've got a girlfriend now." It was damn surreal. There were a multitude of uncertainty and fear, but today.. somehow, it all dissipated into thin air! I'm in love for sure. No shadow of a doubt about it. Not just in love, but in love with Ashbaby.

We were in Orchard today.

Remember this was our first date as a couple.
First thoughts include, "Hands holding... how sia..." "Sweet talking... how sia..."
Then suddenly it all fell into place. Like the last piece of a jigsaw, everything fell into place. It was amazing I tell ya! I've learnt so much from my previous relationships and now I'm applying what works and what doesnt. Being with someone as mature as Ashbaby helps a lot too! I've no worry for her to burst out into childish trantrum, no fear for her to feel jealous as I take a peek around (she frequently pointed out chiobus to me!)... and best of all; no fear of feeling unloved cos she's automatic with the huggles, awww...

I hope you guys arent sick yet.

It rained while we were at Far East Plaza. Found ourselves staring down at people scuttle around in the harsh weather from the 2nd level. Talked about the future, our plans, ungrateful uncles, family and then Grace tapped me from behind and exclaimed "Caught you!". Not like we were engaged in any illegal activity laa~

Keep being who you are. Keep doing what you do.
Cos I'm loving every second of this.

Royal Discovery!

2005-11-15T23:05:00.000+08:00

Yet again I'm out with Aiway.

This time we met at Bugis, yes again. Showed her the sling bag from Muji so that she can keep her eyes opened for them while she's in Hong Kong. Ahhhh, is anyone else envious of Aiway's travel spree? If not... then I must have not included that she's goin to Thailand next Feb too! And when she's finally sick of Asia, Aiway will go back to Australia to continue her studies. Blah!

So at Bugis Street, showed her the "new" section with the air-con and whatnot. Turns out she's been there already. So much for my enthusiastic desire to update her. =(

Then we took an escalator up to this level which was an empty room. Budden (but then), the walls were g r a f f i t i-ed! Macham walking into the secret garden, hahahaaa.. Not many know of the secret hangout, we were there for like 10 minutes before another bunch of curious things came up.

Lao Fu Zhi also made an appearance on the walls!

And so Aiway returns from the Down Under.

Straight into the Singapore humidity that she has kindly forgotten. Complaining every step of the way in Orchard. Not before trimming her eyebrows at Bugis of course.. heh, I must say, the beautician really did a awesome job with Aiway's brows. From normal to semi-glam. With a few brushes and a few shaving, she collects $13.. is that easy peasy money or what?!

Met Danny and Evon at Far East Plaza for the official start of our shopping.

Eyed a metallic chained watch with colourful graphics on the second floor which I fell insanely in love it. I'll get it on Tuesday, when my second installment of pocket money ka-chings its way into my account. Probably get a tee from Bugis street too.. and who knows... trim my eyebrows? o.O

Oh the horror, what have you done to me Aiway!!

Anyways, town was flooded with foreign workers today. From the Lucky Plaza area to Paragon. They cluttered on benches and open spaces. I've not been to town on a Sunday enough to get used to that sight; felt uncomfortable with so many of them in a collective location. It's just a perfect ingredient for trouble in my opinion. Nothing racist la~ just an opinion.

Continued spending money at Heerens, well.. the girls did anyway. We dudes just chilled as they hopped from shop to shop. Only shop that caught my attention was "Flowers in the Attic". Read a review about that shop in Lime mag two months ago. Lurve the layout of the shop to da core! Colour co-ordination was oozing style too! I'm so obsessed with the "perfect shopping experience" and "Flowers in the Attic" managed to provide that. Even though they were selling ladies' wear & apparel exclusively.

Dinner at Newton was close to a nightmare.

We arrived at the old Newton Food Centre and it was closed. As in enveloped all around with contruction barriers. We all thought they were STILL closed for renovations. Plans were already made to move to somewhere else to makan. But we held strong, fought hard against growling bellies and emerged wiser by finding the stalls still opened, housed at a TEMPORARY food centre. (Actually, we overlooked a banner that blatantly said "NEWTON FOOD TEMPORARY CENTRE NOW OPENED".)

Some people eat to live. Some live to eat. But we ate to puke. So much food for 4 of us. Walking almost killed us right after dinner. But something about the new food centre I dislike.. the hawkers were trying to "la(1) ke(4)" or badly phrased, "pull customers". It's plain irritating to have to repeat "No"... and to repeat it with a smile was bloody #$%#$^ harder.

So endeth the day with much cheer!

Aiway with a dilemma.. "They should make a sign to make people make up their minds faster!"

Upon close inspection ...

We will hug, cuddle then kiss.
But will you love me at the end of this?

Royal Teenhood.

2005-11-04T20:23:00.000+08:00

The Teenage Textbook is by far the most accomplished Singaporean production I've set eyes on. And the marvel of it all? It's a 7 year old movie, based on a book I remembered reading when I was WAY before a teenager. The script is, although based hugely on the book, sophisticatedly hilarious at times... and enlightening at others. The acting was a tad shaky... given the newbie cast at that time. Nevertheless, the point of "being a teenager was never easy" was brought home very well.. From the self-deluded fat/rich boy who thinks girls worship him... to the couple who assumed either had no interest in the other til the end of the movie. In short, EVERY Singaporean pre-teen/teen/past-teen/adult/old folkie should rent the movie now.

Royal Cheescake!

2005-10-30T22:04:00.000+08:00

Mmm, my new template and I'm back with more nonsense than ever before! How timely that my first entry should coincide with the restarting of a new semester; which I loathe so much! My holidays were plain and stupid. Besides learning a new skill (more of that in a while...), the holidays were wasted by school and the darn final year project! WOE IS ME! Only comfort I take is the fact that many are gonna take their O level exams soon. I shall relish in the torment of them! Muahahaha! TEAR OUT YOUR HAIR IN DESPAIR!

Anyways, I now proudly proclaim my ability to make cheesecakes! Yes, the once elusive calorie bomb... now I harness the skill to create them! All thanks to a certain person which I shall not name here... cos she firmly believes I should pay $15.10 for the 2 hour lesson. >.< The cheesecake was absolutely delicious if I might add... The opinion is shared by my mummy and my cousin! So.. girls who are secretly attracted to guy who can make cheesecake, LOOK NO FURTHER. /flex

I'm declaring a blog hiatus.
No more updates from me til I can fix up a new skin.

If I were to update anymore, it would be purely superficial and ALL ABOUT ME. I have a crowd to entertain, so therefore, to regather more creative juices...

This was Charles' blog. and shall always be.
Til later guys, blog on!

Royal Ending

2005-10-10T07:45:00.000+08:00

Gonna meet Zhiyong soon for a crazy morning jog.

Being released is a good closure. Finally tied up some loose ends with straight-forward truths. FUCK YEA! What bottled heart surprises... screw them! Like Maia Lee sings;

"A punching bag is what you need right now...
I can see myself get over you,
I can feel myself again!
I know I can make it through anything,
Cos I don't need you!"

F U C K Y E A !

*stares at the cream cake on my desk*

For your information, I'm entitled to 2 more of those creeeaaam cakes, just cos I actually jogged this week. Not once but twice! Muahaha, looks like Wala Wala was a wake up call for me. So, on two occasions, Monday and Wednesday, Zhiyong and Alex accompanied me to run rounds around Ngee Ann's infamous blue track. THE ONLY BLUE TRACK IN SINGAPORE. Why not purple or green? Or even PINK!

Petition time!
For all Ngee Ann and non-Ngee Ann people aka THE NOTHAPPENING people;
Sign up if you want our track to be pink!

Royal Unfittingness.

2005-09-30T18:19:00.000+08:00

You know the feeling when you try on an outfit for the upcoming evening of hanging out... then you realise it doesn't fit right? Either your thighs look like tree trunks or the collar makes your neck look short. So you try on another outfit and while pulling the pants up, "Oh no, they shrunk!" ... or have they? "Nevermind" you think to yourself.. By the time you're exhausted, you've basically tried on every combination from your wardrobe and nothing is working for you!

Shaking your head.. letting a hefty sigh.. you return to the very first outfit.

Sounds familiar?
Damn it, dressing up for Wala Wala has made me realise I've grown out of the usual clothes.
Time to buy new clothes?

NOPE!.
Time to get running shoes.. and shed some TUMMYTHIGHLOVEHANDLE fats.

Royal Special

2005-09-27T20:55:00.000+08:00

Ever wonder why people stare out of the windows while answering calls on the train? Or just suddenly flipping to another side, even though we still can hear them anyway? I catch myself doing that too sometimes, as if I can magically teleport into my own little haven just by talking to the reflection in the window.. Strange things people do.

And when girlfriends are picking a fight with their boys... it's always so obvious. The guy would be glancing from side to side, top to bottom.. but never straight at the flaring female. But as they say, the best defense is a good offense, even more so in that situation man! Just stare deep into her eyes.. listen to whatever she has to jabber about (and just let it through the other side).. proceed to slowly placing a finger on her lips.. and just gently proclaim; "You're a bitch, but I love you anyway".

Royal Spree.

2005-09-26T21:53:00.000+08:00

Inspiration comes and goes like a fleeting shower in spring.
But what matters are the fauna that bloom from that moment in time.

2005-09-26T16:35:00.000+08:00

If you can hear the muxic playing in the background, then you're listening to Marty Casey's ; "Trees". Yes that's the original version. Hope you can see the similarity in our lyrics.

I wanna go clubbing.

Aiway hurry up back here you silly Malaysian who flown to Australia from Singapore! I so don't care... when you get back, I'm gonna hual your ass from Gotham Penthouse to Momo then to China Black. Muahaha.. in short you're gonna be a "club hopper" with me! Or a "cluper".. or a "hopber"...

Female dog! UGH. Refrain from vulagrities here.
I'm so bloody agitated by someone, because of something that happened sometime back.
But I cannot say it here because I'm very mysterious and secretive. Like James Bond, only that I'm Charles.. and without the entourage of whores.

2005-09-25T19:04:00.000+08:00

I have decided to put Xiaxue's link at the side for easy access. But before anyone accuses me of liking that vulgar vixen, I'd like to declare my absolute neutrality towards her blogging style and fashion sense. I mean, you can never be a complete blogger until you have visited the most over-rated blog of Singaporean origins yea?

Anyhoos. It's my holidays! Though I have to go back to school everyday.
Though I have to stay til afternoon everyday...
Though I can only take 5 days leave over 6 weeks ...
Though I must report in at 9 am...

It's still my holidays. However sucky it sounds and really is.
Bleh!

2005-09-18T21:15:00.000+08:00

I'm bent. I'm broken.

No, that's not lyrics to a new song.. It's how I'm feeling now, after a session of soccer. A FULL 90 MINUTE of it. Played at Ngee Ann's field with Zhi Yong's church people. GOSH. It was a youth team versus the adults. Walkover? I wished... the adults played a very good game against us... lots of physical interaction. Moreover, they arent afraid to go for the ball... even to extent of shoulder barging and hard knocks.

My darn soccer boots gave up on me too.. Both soles decided to peel off and I played in the muddy field with half a boots and socks. Not good at all.. The condition of the field was horrendous due to the morning to early-afternoon showers.

I'm glad to have made a sliding tackle!
It's the milestone for every defender to slide into the opponent's path and steal the ball away. I'm so proud of my team too! Second half we were down 2-1... then we scored one to equalise.. and proceeded to score the winning goal! Zhiyong even scored 2 goals!

Okie.. I guess most of you girls are probably dozing off after that whole bunch of soccer talk?

I guess to entertain you girls.. I'd start talking about VERY handsome dudes I saw at soccer?

Yes yes?
Ahaha. dream on. :P

Royal Heatwave!

2005-09-11T22:06:00.000+08:00

My air-con's down.

I hate it when my air-con's busted. I'm so used to being pampered by that luxury that I become SUPER agitated in humid conditions. I'll probably be the worst bunkmate in National service. Perhaps the real reason why I'm so edgy is cos I have no idea WHY my air-con is so inconsistent in operation. Somedays it's mighty fine... and days like now.. It's worst than a hand-held battery operated fan. THAT's how lousy it is :(

Royal Trees.

2005-09-07T22:08:00.000+08:00

Trees by Charles (adapted heavily from a song performed somewhere)

Can't imagine life without you,
Waking up from these nightmares...
Alone.

Don't want to laugh without you,
When the world's playing a joke...
On me.

I can imagine a world...
But it can never be perfect,
Unless I've got you.

[Chorus]
Cos it's you and me
Up in the trees,
And we'll live like that forever baby,
We'll live like that forever baby....
And it's you and me
Up in the skies,
No one can change our love, no matter,
No one can change our love, no matter what...

I don't know why...
I can't live without you.

/unfinished.

Once again looking for someone to fabricate a way to make this a possible song.
Any takers?

2005-09-01T00:05:00.000+08:00

Two-timer by Charles
Baby, I gotta admit I'm a two-timer.
But not in a bastard way...
It's just that my actions,
They differ from what I say.

Two-timing hurts.
Trust me... it hurts me more.
To pretend I don't give a shit;
When obviously it's you I adore.

How I wish you were the infidel,
At least that'll bring a smile to my face.
Cos "I've gotten over you long ago",
Means "My heart holds you in a special place"...

It seems I'm never happy.
But how can I ever be ?
When you are so distant ?
So out-of-reach for me.

LIME magazine has a funkay shoe design competition!

The problem is... my personal assistant is busy with a new set of projects. So busy that she can't help me paint the shoes... The world knows my painting sucks; therefore to take on the actual painting will immediately disqualify from the competition ): But nonetheless, I AM gonna register for it... and we'll see where it goes from there. Wish me luck kids~

Royal Extra Pay!

2005-08-30T23:46:00.000+08:00

I will be working this coming Saturday at Cocoon!

Ru Jiao can't be around so Janet has asked me to fill in for her... for one WHOLE day. I'd be there from opening til closing at 11.30pm! I wonder if I can take it.. 11 hours of work seems to be quite scary isnt it? I reckon weekends are always very busy, thus the need for a second person in the shop...

So whoever is free this Saturday, come drop by at Cocoon! Second level of Cineleisure, can't miss it cos the management tortures everyone by making them walk an entire round behind Pastamania just to get to level 3. Note: I can't give special discounts cos I'm not exactly a full-time worker there :(

Royal Green Monsters!

2005-08-26T22:32:00.000+08:00

A lovely ride on the bus. Reliable Singapore transport system at its best! The double decker buses are my favourite cos my childhood was mostly spend at the front of the upper deck, imagining I was the driver, steering and swerving along. Recently, a similar enjoyment was ruined horribly by a bunch of schoolgirls. Who are they? I prefer not to name them out directly...

But a small hint : Their uniforms look to be contaminated by green fungal growth and the ties on the uniform take no skill to put on.

So yea, on 174 heading to town with Junhong last Wednesday. It was all quietness, engaged in our talk and girls and studies. Suddenly, this bunch of girls from the above mentioned school boarded. Them usually dormant schoolgirls yapped all the from door, up to the upper deck and plopped not far behind us. It's almost like a peek into the future I tell you! 3 and more female together and it's no holds barred.

It all started with one girl talking loudly, the others commented even louder... Then they moved on to silly topics and events that WE did not need to know. Along the lines of "the other time some guy lifted up my skirt and I wasnt wearing shorts.." It's darn hard to avoid eavesdropping. I can feel the entire deck of people fall into a state of disgust. But please? Does studying in a girl school make you entitled to talk in public as if EVERYWHERE was the ladies' toilet? If I wanted crude discussion of girls and everything feminine, I'd watch "The Vagina Monolouges", thank you.

Royal Downtime.

2005-08-23T22:54:00.000+08:00

WISP is finally over. Today's final class of World Issues from a Singapore's Prospective ended with much drama. Lawrence, as usual gave us a lot to think about as the lecture ended for the last time. His last few words also urged me on to fulfill my dream and to move out of Singapore to find work. Yes, call me a "quitter" , Mr Goh.. but the I'm sure thousands of underpaid foreigners are waiting to take over my citizenship. Giving much thought about it, I don't mind being a second-class citizen in another country, to work long hours and get paid minimum in their relative terms. Work hard and save up for 4-5 years, come back to sunny ol'Singapura and be rich~ Why not? I'm convinced that I can adapt easily to circumstances... I'm just waiting for that one chance and I'll pounce on it and who knows?

Plumber in England?
Construction worker in Australia?
Bartender in Costa Rica?

I'm not gonna fight for jobs in Singapore with you degree holders, diploma holders and what-have-you... See ya all in 5 years baby~

Royal Pussycat

2005-08-23T01:37:00.000+08:00

Being a cat lover, it shouldnt be surprising that I find myself in love with the Pussycat Dolls! Nope they are NOT a series of dolls. Neither are they anything feline. They happen to be a group of six girls, or should I add, six veryvery nice-looking girls. What's interesting about this bunch of eye-candy is that fact that they have only 1 lead singer. If you listen to their first single, "Don't cha", you'd only hear one voice. It was rather misleading at first... perhaps strength in numbers has taken on another meaning? Anyhoos, check them out.

Finale!

WE HAVE DONE IT.
Our video has topped the charts in over 25 countries and nominated for almost every category of accolation, especially "BEST DIRECTOR", right Junhong?. I'm so glad it's finally over and it's so rewarding when you hear people clapping even before the video is over. Now to bask in the glory of sastisfaction.

I'll post the link when it's up.

Today, I played the drums for the very first time. Went to Zhiyong's church after school and there "she" was. Spread out beautifully. Waiting to get drummed. My motor-functions are officially retarded; can't manage to pick up the simplest of rhythms. But after an hour of nerve-wrecking screw-ups, I can play a few cycles! YIPPIES! Goes something like "1, 2, snare, 4, bass, 6, snare, 8..." As you can see. I'm a very happy person.

Royal Filming.

2005-08-14T11:28:00.000+08:00

TODAY'S FILMING DAY!

Okay, so it might not be a Mediacorp quality film... but we've planned quite far ahead for this project. So many details we have considered. I really hope all the talk would go into action this very day! A few glitches along the way and many more to come, that's what I anticipate. Skipped church for today to make sure I have time for preparation. *crosses fingers*

Excited but fearful.

Let's pray that our director, aka Junhong will guide us according to his foresight. Haha, as we all know, Junhong has rather wild imagination and this is time for it to ALL come into play. We still need more extras on set at this point of time... but no one's responding to the call of duty! Nevermind, a step at a time. Did I menton deadline is this coming Tuesday? Muahaha, SCREWED, WE ARE.

Anyone who's reading this; know that I do not appreciate your sweaty back resting on my knuckles. Unless you're my girlfriend, please do not ever ever ever rest any part of your body on my hand. BAH! Do you guys understand my irritation?

Typical scenario: MRT. Plenty of space around to stand. Seats always full so forget about it. Suddenly this person gets on at a random station. Looks around, can't find seat.. then proceeds to lean his/her ENTIRE body on the pole which I'm holding on to. Like WTH! What am I suppose to hold then? Your ahlian-nish ponytail? Cannot ever understand why such behaviour abound. Unless you look like Imogen Bailey, do not attempt to rest on the pole, EVER.

Royal Irritation?

2005-08-07T19:56:00.000+08:00

Thought of the day : Is it easier to love the enemy or hate a lover?

What a refreshing weekend! To be released of a memory is such a REFRESHING emotion. I'll call this.. refreshion. Turning 19, I've decided to let her go totally. It's so obvious who SHE is, so don't go "HUHH. WHO?" I'd personally run my entire history with her over thr phone with you and make you die of boredom. Seriously! So now what's next in my life?... No need to rush into maturing I guess.. Pointless to hurry up the aging process by suddenly pretending to take life seriously. Pointless to see all the ugliness of the world and go into acute depression. :)

Royal Whee-la-la-ness.

2005-08-03T17:16:00.000+08:00

Thought of the day : which is worst ? not knowing or not remembering?

Had my birthday celebrations yesterday at Marina south. Seems like a pilgramage for me every year. Buffet was deliciously crazy with my mates! Zhiyong and Alex managed to come even though they lost their way in SINGAPORE roads. Says alot about drivers, I mean, driving eh ? Hahaaa. The normal gang were there too, Danny;Evon;Junhong;Xiajun. Special guest appearance included Cheryl "Can We Go Yet?" Lim.

After dinner traveled to Bugis cos someone wanted to get her bag SO SO SO badly. I would normally cringe at the thought of walking into Bugis Street, with all the pushing around in that alley way. However, they opened a new section with air-con and all on the second level. Mostly girlie stuff... but I guess: To get the bees, you have to be where the honey is~ Hahahaaaa..

A special thanks to the people who remembered yesterday.
I know I dao-ed some of your sms-es, by the time I checked my mobile after dinner, it was inappropiate to reply? I truly truly appreciate the simplest of wishes. :)

Royal Birthday.

2005-08-01T14:30:00.000+08:00

And as the birthday finally approaches, no signs of a royal procession is materialized.
Going to Marina to eat buffet tommorrow with friends.
I'm not at all... happy? Wierd as it sounds, I think the hype has died over the weeks. When I was younger, my birthday would have meant a new toy, new book or something plain simple but "new". But nothing seems to meet my expectations. I don't even know what I really want! It's depressing really...

Eating pizza hanging out with mates.
Sounds so fun! Sounds so... in-the-past.
I'm making no sense, but if you don't have anything to gimme on my birthday, at least gimme this right to sulk.

Royal Bugs.

2005-07-27T20:35:00.000+08:00

Watched "Bug Me Not" on Monday with Cheryl. I guess from now, movie treats shall be my trademark bday gift to mua friends. But PLEASE don't all come after me for movies ah? Worst still, don't offer me movie treats in return on the 2nd of August hor! Somehow, everyone has a problem with me pronouncing "BUG ME NOT"... On two occasions they heard me say "Punk Me Not" and "F*(k Me Not" respectively. Which reminds me... I can't become a DJ because of my voice quality. *HUGE SIGHS* How in the world am I gonna improve a voice quality ? =/

coochie coochie?
coochie coo ?

So for the review of the show;
Watch it on a 7 dollar day. It's not worth anymore. If I were a any stricter, I would say DON'T watch it at the cinema at ALL. It's neither romantic nor sci-fi. It's basically a brain cell killing movie which leaves you mentally retarded after the credits start rolling. The lead actress, quite chio ( but a bit airport lehhh ). AND AND AND! The computer generated graphic was faker than MJ's nose. However, the adorable bugs and spastic script did tickle my funny bones a few times.

Final verdict : 3.5/10

screaming for you through whispers.

I just figured out that my blog would be more interesting or more widely-read if it contained contents of everything except my life. Perhaps because since I'm a nobody it the public eye, my life doesn't matter at all. Who wants to strain their eyes to read about my common tests or my secret crush? They would rather get myopia from watching TV or downloaded movies. I'm not complanining either... I rather have a private little haven then a wide-open shared space. At least like this I know who really cares about my life. I'm glad to even have people care; besides my mum of course.

Oh gosh, this is turning too melodramatic.

Royal Almost

2005-07-21T13:04:00.000+08:00

extracted from Almost -Bowling For Soup

You kept me guessin' and now I'm destined

To spend my time missing you

I almost wish you would've loved me too

Here I go, thinking 'bout all the things I could've done

I'm gonna need a forklift, cause all the baggage weighs a tonI know we've had our problems, I can't remember one

I almost forgot to say something else

And if I can't fit it in, I'll keep it all to myself

I almost wrote a song about you today

But I tore it all up and then I threw it away

And I almost had you

But I guess that doesn't cut it

Almost had you

And I didn't even know it

You kept me guessin' and now I'm destined

To spend my time missing you

And I almost had you

I almost wish you would've loved me too

Royal Distance

2005-07-20T22:32:00.000+08:00

Can distance really bring us closer?

How do you strike a balance between speaking out and looking like a total twit; or keep quiet and fade out of memory? I love these kinda extremes.

Royal Lalaness.

2005-07-18T00:08:00.001+08:00

I love being a lala.

Can all of you stop having birthdays in the same month?!
Haha, this goes out to you people who had birthdays just passed in July. I hate you. Haha, just kidding. Went out with Xinyie last week to watch "Be With You", to celebrate her belated bday. Nice jap sappy movie. I would truly call this a "movie" cos it seriously was moving. But then again, it made me feel like shit after it ended. I envy that guy so much ! To see someone being in love and being loved back so furiously really made me feel like shit. Yes, perhaps its the quiet nights or the lonely bus rides... I wanna be someone's special.

And on Friday, joined XiaJun, Pauline and Janet for dinner. I wouldnt call it a bday celebration, just a gathering at Swenson's , Holland V branch. Wheet! They had unlimited scoops of ice-cream at just $1 with any pasta or main course! Yummm. After dinner we were supposed to go Walawala... BUT BUT BUT! The place was packed to the brim, like sardines in a luncheon meat can! Dint even bother to queue, just cabbed down to Lot 1's Kbox instead. (jealous or not Sarah ? :P ) All those people sang cheena songs, like what laa... I can't understand or read most of it... Sang some songs since I went along anyway, not to terrorise the people in the room okay?! English songs mind you.. but I did sing this cheena song about "fairy tales and wings and angels".. stupid. absolutely stupid. But fun~ :))

And since Cheryl's bday is like... NOW! its 12.23 am now! SO.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHER, CHERLY, CHERYL! Muahaha, now you're 18, please grow up. I know it's hard to change from spoilt brat to supreme angel, you can always try. Happy Birthday nonetheless!

Royal Pinkish Delight.

2005-07-12T17:55:00.000+08:00

Pink is the new black/blue/green/yellow/white/purple/whatever other colour!
Cos Charles says so.

Went out with Alexandra last evening for dinner. Was LAN-ing at Dhoby for a short period of time before making my way down to Tanjong Pagar. Was wearing her all-time favourite colour, but she refuse to admit it. But behind all the cursing and swearing, I know she likes pink! hahahaa..

Ate dinner at Swenson's. Not exactly dinner, unless you count Earthquake a meal. The eight scopes of pure choco delight bowls you over with every bite! I mean...

Frosted Chocolate Malt
Sticky Chewy Chocolate
Thin Mint
Chocolate Peanut Buttercup
Cookies 'N' Cream
Yummy Raisin
Mocha Almond Fudge
Butterscotch

*drools*

Thanks for the treat jiejie!
For the treat, I was made her toyboy for the evening, not that I'm complaining, was too high from the sugar-rush. But it was all fun and laughter~ Alex and moi practically grew up together. I remember cos she was SUCHA a bully when we were younger. ah, the fun ol' days.

"This is a spoon, S-P-O-O-N"..

(Yes, now we know how smart you are Alex. *claps*)

Royal Beer Joke.

2005-07-06T18:04:00.000+08:00

BEER WILL MAKE MEN BECOME WOMEN.

Was listening to the radio and this news became rather disturbing. Although I'm not a big fan of beer, I'm sure this piece of news will dishearten many fellow men. It is true, beer will turn you into women, not over the long run! Even a few pints can instantly make you a woman! To prove this logic, scientist gave 100 men 10 pints of beer each. All of them showed the same results after the 10th pint, SADNESS!

1) They started not making sense when talking.
2) They argue over nothing.
3) They lose the ability to drive.
4) They refuse to apologise even when obviously at fault.

So think twice before your next sip!

I shall take this time while WoW servers are down on maintenance to update my blog. It's pretty dead as you can see, only reason why I don't wanna delete it yet is cos that's just stupid. But enough of stupid things. How's life?

The slackest semester ever! The few hours in school pass too quick for comfort, before we know it, common test might be coming soon! Wait a sec... IT IS COMING IN TWO WEEKS. Blah , see? Next week's study break, which spells great disaster. Who actually studies in the study week?! Well sure, we get together... spread the lecture notes everywhere... sit around... talk and joke and end up? Asking for girls' numbers. Hahaa, those were the better days of our lives.

Royal Drift.

2005-06-29T07:22:00.000+08:00

Ah, early morning blog.
The early bird gets the worm.
But who the heck would want a worm for breakfast? Should probably change it into something like, "The early bird gets the bacon/ham/scrambled eggs." Obviously hungry at the time of this post. Alright, lemme rush thru this post so I can get to school an hour late.

Watched Initial D with my friends yesterday. The storyline differed from the anime by quite a lot. Unless you're a die-hard ID anime fan, you'd probably enjoy the humor and awesome drive scenes. At least the cars in the show don't look at all CGed. The girl's a bit of a letdown though; Anne Suzuki looks too... doe-eyed. I prefer girls with smaller eyes, the sultry glare made perfect! :)

Sunflower Seeds - Charles.

I realise how much I've lost,
Each time you dodge my stare.
How do you keep up such nonchalance,
How do you act like you don't care?

Kisses are wasted,
Hugs gone down the drain...
Missed those long-lost moments,
When I replaced "princess" with your name.

Remember how our fingers fit?
Or how our lips interlock for marathons?
The way you squirm away,
When I wet your nose with my tongue?

I'm messed up now,
Lost in a whirl of confusion.
How I could screw such a love up,
To overlook your beauty and not your flaws.

A knight will come your way soon,
With overwhelming charisma and ivory steed
As he picks you up into the horizon,
I'd be watching, munching on these sunflower seeds.

Safe in a Crazy World -Corrinne May
I try to smile my tears away,
I try to keep my cool.
Oh but one more door gets in my way
I feel like such a fool
Trampled and bitter,
My heart just wants to bleed and stop believing in me.

It feels like nothing is for certain
and that nothing comes for free
When they're lowering the curtain to the theatre of my dreams
I stumble and i crumble and I'm sinking to my knees for you
You cradle me

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength to believe in me again

Noise keeps chasing me
No matter where I go
Oh and life likes pretending that it's on a TV show
When it's hard to tell what's real
From what the world just wants to preach
You are the voice I seek

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength to believe in me again

'cause when I'm wrapped up in your arms
Nothing else can touch me
What a wonderful way to recharge
I feel like I can breathe again

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength to believe in me again

I wanna keep you flying,
I wanna keep you smiling,
I'll keep you safe in this crazy world.
I'd understand you,
Embrace your fragility,
I'd keep you safe in this crazy world.
And in my arms, you'll find the strength to believe in yourself again.

Royal Smiths.

2005-06-21T21:43:00.000+08:00

Watched "Mr and Mrs Smith" with Ashley yesterday.

I smell an award for that show. Nice fight scenes. When you put the two of the best looking people in Hollywood into one movie, it's inevitable that I'll rate it 4/5. Thought of watching "A Lot Like Love" too, but the earliest show was at 945pm, kinda out of the question! But we were so tempted! So so so tempted! It looks like a rom-comedy to me, but can Aston play the role?.. I've always insist that only Adam Sandler can be a romantic clown. We'll see (:

Also, I theorised that girls like smilies. :) (:
"I like to smiley smiley,
You like to smiley smiley...
WE LIKE TO..... SMILEY!"

Also bought Corrinne May's CD! Wheets, my first original album. Erh, not exactly but first one I've enjoy thoroughly! I fell asleep to her last night and woke up this morning to her songs too! Nope, it's getting sickening either!

Corrinne May's One Night Only in Singapore!
10th August, Wednesday.
7.30pm (1hr30mins, no intermission!)
Esplanade Concert Hall.
$23 for students.

Okie, this free advertisement for her comes only because if two reasons,

1) Esplanade's my fav place for good music. That was where I found hope in local musicians. Witnessed my first live performance there; under nocturnal constellations with her. I'm very sure with good company, 10th August will actually be a night to remember! So don't mop around kids! If you're feeling pathetic and despondent, look forward to Corrinne May!

2) She's a promising, not exactly young talent that makes me proud of being a Singaporean! At least when the whiteskins ask me what Singapore has to offer, I don't have to say Sly, urgh. Or , Taufik double urgh.

Save Me - Corrinne May

I drift, I burn, I fly
When you sing lullabies
I'm helpless, I'm yearning
I'm like the putty in your hands

I laugh, I dream, I cry
When you take me on a roller coaster ride
You see me through and through
You see just who i am
Just take my hand and
Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven Knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting for you

I had a dream that i
was falling from the sky
At 90 miles an hour
I was bound to crash and die
But out of nowhere you came and rescued me
There must be some grace in the touch of your face
I'm so happy that I've found you
I'm no longer afraid

Oh ' cause you
Save me from this place
Heaven knows i'm falling
For you my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting

Before i met you
Life was slow-mo
So slow-mo
I thought i had it figured out
But you came and turned my whole world upside down

Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows you've come to
Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven Knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting for you
Waiting for you

/wipes the dust from my blog

Woah, can someone pass me a duster? This blog's been so stagnant it's gonna collect mozzie eggs soon. I'm surprised you're even looking at this update. You're probably a rare specimen of boredom to even come here. Not even I get that bored. Hahaa.. thanks for coming anyways, enjoy your stay, but do mind the cobwebs. Try to resist your urge to clean them away, I find them rather adorable. :P

Been exploring World Of Warcraft for the last week now.
Love it, explains my absence.

So, by popular demand, I'm updating!
"Update!"

Alright, I've done my best to entertain you. It's up to you now to tag.

Here's an account of 10 minutes of Friendster surfing...

"Ohh, nice profile."
click.
Pictures load up...
click x12 to see all her photos.
/thinks to self
"Nice photoshop edited photos, the girl's so cute.. bla blaa"
click
Goes back to main page.
Read entire profile again.
"SHE TYPES IN ACCURATE ENGLISH!"
Scrolls down.
"1st account, 2nd account, 3rd account......"
-.-
/closes page

When everything starts out to be too perfect, it probably is. I mean, how can some one like her ever have time to chat on MSN with someone like me? Perhaps, it's not just HER only.. I've "closed" a few girls off just because of lousy use of language (lar leh lorh keke euu mii lorx), too many accounts and my all time NO-NO; City Havester.

How I wish sometimes I was blind. That way, my judgement of people would be based on the sincerity in their voice and not that fake facade they adorn to mislead. Or perhaps I see, but am blind. Yikes, I'm so yoda-ish today, better back off now.. :))

Royal Exclaimation.

2005-05-30T14:59:00.000+08:00

Talk about female equality.

When girls spot some hunk, they can happily skip home and blog about their sighting of a rare species of man. Followed by number of times she has seen him. Detailed by what he was doing, with whom and where. Comments can also vary from his choice of clothes, colour of hair, style, eyes, shoes, etc etc. It might even reach a point where the blog entry starts to becomes fanatical and sounds more like a mad scientist's lab report on a world changing discovery. I might be exagerrating but I can imagine such examples.

I digress.
Back to the point, female equality.

When we ( as in heterosexual guys) appreciate beauty and decide to pen in down on internet databanks, we immediately get shot down with cynical remarks. Most often than not from girls.
Do we look at beauty in a different light?
Are our eyes meant to NOT look?
Are our brains meant to NOT evaluate?

I believe that physical beauty can be appreciated without sexual connotations.

Sometimes, even the casual-est of dressing can spark my sweet "eye" to savour the candy at hand. Just a few moments ago, this girl in cargo trousers and plain purple shirt stood out among the crowd with her flawless complexion, devoid of any foundationeyelinerlipstickcrap. Her effortless attempt to look chic yet not skanky appealed to me.

But no...
I did not have any fantasies of sticking my tongue into her mouth or rolling in the mud under a heavy downpour. I merely held her in high esteem. Therefore, I challenge anyone who has NEVER looked upon the opposite sex with such admiration to cast the first insult. The difference between me and you would be simple.

I dare to blog it.

Royal She Wasnt.

2005-05-30T00:26:00.000+08:00

She wasn't what I wanted, what I thought no.
She wouldn't even return my calls.
She never made me feel like I was special.
Like I was special, cuz I was special.

Sunday ends yet another week of torture.
Monday spoils the week.
Tuesday shows sign of improvement.
Wednesday proves you're wrong.
Thursday decapitates your ego.
Friday offers false release.
Saturday offers you illusional retreat.

Slip away,
Quietly you go, again.
Into the light,
Where I cannot follow.
Leave me behind,
Leave me bare and hollow.

Fly away,
Quickly you go, again
Far beyond my reach,
Where I cannot follow.
Leave me here,
Will you come back tommorrow?

After last night's Champion's League match, I'm left worn out. Dint imagine the match to go into extra time and end in another penalty shootout. What a waste. AC Milan deserved the match. But Liverpool's comeback was remarkable, totally crushed AC's spirit for the second half. But yes, why am I speaking of soccer? It bores everyone, especially girls. But I might be wrong eh, Alexandra? Someone predicted Liverpool's victory and now I hate to be wrong! *scowls*

Chelsea has the Premier League title.
Arsenal has the FA Cup.
Liverpool has the Champion's League.
Manchester United, is pure disappointment. BLAH!

Skipped the whole day of school today, partly out of childish protest to the Liverpool win. But mostly cos I'm a defecting student looking for motivation to study. This last year's modules will play a huge role in my career as Mech Engineer... but somehow, I'm not revitalised after the long holidays... on the contrary, I seem to be tired everyday. My bio-clock needs some tweaking.

I need some kick in the arse,
yea, that's what I truly need.

The following is obviously thought through intelligently by a girl with too much "thought time". Just accept the fact! No one's perfect, not you not him! But some assholes deserved to be rejected back to the "Singles' Factory".

1. The nice men are ugly.

2. The handsome men are not nice.

3. The handsome and nice men are gay.

4. The handsome, nice and heterosexual men aremarried.

5. The men who are not so handsome, but are nicemen, have no money.

6. The men who are not so handsome, but are nicemen with money think we are only after theirmoney.

7. The handsome men without money are after ourmoney.

8. The handsome men, who are not so nice andsomewhat heterosexual, don't think we arebeautiful enough.

9. The men who think we are beautiful, that areheterosexual, somewhat nice and have

money,are cowards.

10. The men who are somewhat handsome,somewhat nice and have some money and thankGod are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKETHE FIRST MOVE!!!!

11. The men who never make the firstmove, automatically lose interest in us when wetake the initiative.

NOW, WHO THE HELL UNDERSTANDS MEN?

"Men are like a fine wine.They all start out like grapes, andit's our job to stomp on them and keepthem in the dark until they mature into somethingyou'd like to have dinner with."
