Guess what?

Linkin Park won the International Artist Award of Asia on MTV Asia Awards 2008.

Hurrahhh

For the past few wks, i've caught paranomal activity (fucking gd), 2012, couples retreat, new moon, and a christmas carol 3D (a total waste of time).

Paranormal Activity's worth mentioning cos' it's not the typical horror flick tt u'd anticipate. Thumbs up.

Finally got my 1st A+ of my university stint. I know.. i'm equally dumbfounded.. and.. it's for a module that I'd initially wanted to give up studying cos' we had to study the whole textbook in addition to our professor's slides - Marketing Research. Hope i'll do well for the rest of my papers too!

Just had a meeting with the smu tennis exco members and i'm honored to be bestowed with the "Vice-Captain" title while still undertaking the duties of a marketing director when the term starts. Yeah double duties.. I'm not sure whether i'm up to it but i guess i'll do my best. Thanks for the opportunity!

Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, London (22 Nov - 29 Nov 2009)

This tournament features a stellar lineup of 8 top-performing tennis stars vying for the ultimate championship trophy. I just can't wait.

The weather's so fucking unpredictable nowadays.. It was hell sunny this morning and it's pouring as if the entire Singapore's on fire now. I really really hope the weather's gonna be fine tmr morning during training cos' i've been waiting the whole week for this!

I'm holding my annual xmas party at my place on the 23rd of Dec but this time it's for my SMU friends. Bring along a gift for the gift exchange yeah!


Took me qt sometime to do up this poster.. but it was rather enjoyable. At least it takes me away from my books for awhile.

2009 Paris ATP Masters 1000

He brought the house down.

1st it was sending the car back only when my movie was supposed to start, and i was 20mins late for the movie; but tts not even the highlight. I'd to go earlier to get the tickets for my friends cos I was the one who'd made the booking and cos of this, they were late for the movie as well.

Then, it was bringing a bunch of fucking loser friends back on sunday night till the wee hrs of monday and creating so much clamor that I cldn't slp and had to miss my morning class today. I was supposed to wake up at 630 and needed to study for a test tmr after my morning class so sufficient sleep was paramount. And seriously, who in the right frame of mind would bring barbarians back on sunday night and hang out till late when you yourself have got a morning class the next day and when everyone else living under the same roof has work or classes? You must be a fucking retard or just plain stupid or both.

How fucked up can you get? I'm just this close to losing it; step on my toes again and i'll make u pay. Mark my words fucker.

Got a new racket through my coach for $259 - Wilson K Six One Team. It's heavier, provides more power, and has a greater stability upon contact with the ball. Can't wait for training tmr after a week of tests (3 to be exact), reports, and presentations.











Night Safari was a blast. The trail of horror was fun and you could hear ludicrously ear-splitting shrieks from spooked-out visitors along the way. What's night safari without halloween... it's certainly worth a visit once a year!

Caught Defending the Caveman @ the Singapore Repertory Theatre on sat. I wouldn't say that it was bad but neither was it worth the $35 bucks I'd paid for it cos the jokes were entertaining but it was a solo comedy with a fairly plain stage set.

I'm going ballistic over the tons of exams, reports, presentations, and tests these few weeks.

On a side note, I'm catching phobia 2 tmr!

Fuck projects la

Phobia 2 has been received with raving reviews and i'm gonna watch it next wk! Horror has always been my favorite genre for movies. yeah

Went to swensen's@Ion with K after my training ytd for their ice-cream & dessert buffet. The ice-cream was pleasing to the palate but the cakes weren't. Oh and they have great waffles too. Celebrated jac's bdae at nite @ Chin Lee restaurant (some place in the east) and bowling at E-hub after that. Supper at simpang wasn't that great cos' the beef in my fried beef kway teow tasted like dog meat or sth.

Caught Accident just now before K went for her F1 modelling stint @ swissotel stamford. I don't normally catch Chinese movies but we wanted to catch a movie and decided to choose between 2 movies that we've never heard of - Accident & Whiteout. We went with Accident cos' it sounded like a horror/thriller flick but it turned out to be a somewhat boring Chinese show zzzz.

I wanna watch ATP Malaysian Open eh who wants to go to KL with me. The final match will be on the 4th of October (Sunday) and many top players will be there! Robin Soderling, Fernando Verdasco, Nikolay Davydenko, Gael Monfils, and Lleyton Hewit will all be there to display their stellar groundstrokes!

Went to butter with chung, david and zhaoming on fri and i had a lil too much vodka raspberry. Yeah i puked for the 3rd time this month. I'm fucking gonna abstain from alcohol for at least a month to keep my liver healthy. So if you're a friend please stop me from drinking the next time. Thanks

Caught the ugly truth @ vivo ytd with Kelly and it's a definite must-watch romantic comedy. Katherine Heigl's just so fucking hilarious. Went to sentosa to catch songs of the sea and den back to vivo for dinner @ marche with yvonne and jason. After that yvonne had to go support her friends perform a striptease @ Taboo as a forfeit and we just followed. It was seriously an eye-opener but it was boring like fuck cos the music was like an amalgam of house+trance+techno and there were only 2 tables for ppl to sit and drink so we left after abt an hour there to my place to hangout.

Had a game of tennis this morning and my relatives will be over ltr for a potluck dinner party. And yes, Sentosa with the usuals tmr but it's not confirmed yet as of now.

I'm so fucking tired. Happy hari raya pusa/haji to everyone.

US Open 2009 Men's Singles Champion - Juan Martin del Potro defeated 5-time champion and world no.1 Roger Federer in 5 sets.

US Open 2009 Women's Singles Champion - Kim Clijsters defeated world no.9 Caroline Wozniacki in straight sets.


It has been an incredible Grand Slam with multiple upsets and great drama. This had to be the best Grand Slam for the year.

The usuals celebrated my bdae on sat nite. Thanks to nicole for planning!

It's funny how we managed to juggle 8 or 9 subjects when we were young and not complain; while we can barely cope with 4 to 5 as the years creep up on us slowly, but surely. Instead of inheriting greater wisdom, we're actually acquiring lesser knowledge than before; and our goals in life have dwindled to a single aspiration - work (juxtaposed with play). What else is out there besides living on a fixed income and donating your soul to the cauldron of politics? When we get on in years, our pliant minds will be succumbed to the gimmicks of crooks and swindlers; our eyes will get weary from boredom; we will be plagued by innumerable variants of illnesses; we will be unable to control our bowels; we will have a proclivity to throw tantrums; etc etc.

By growing old, we're not aging per se; we're becoming more childlike, becoming younger.

Aren't we then uncannily similar to Benjamin Button? Or are we not?

Kelly :)

Finally caught Final Destination 3D; and the storyline's still the same as FD 1,2, & 3. Damn boring.. but at least it's still much better than Thirst. Thirst is like....... what the fuck.

Finally a proper update. Been so busy lately.

Met up with ivy, swee, and jeremy last thurs to celebrate my bdae. Went to cross keys for dinner.


Had dinner with my family on Friday @ Pan Pacific Hotel. Met my cousins at Timbre @Arts House for drinks and music thereafter.





Met up with shereen, yvonne, jason, tianle, melanie, and kelly on sat. Yvonne and Shereen planned a day's worth of activities and the nicest thing was tt it was an all-expense-paid day's worth of activities (ranging from bowling, arcade, movies, etc etc)! It's not very nice of me to just plainly accept it but they just kept rejecting my efforts of paying. Dinner was supp to be at some Jap restaurant but i thought that Mariner's Corner would be a better place for a group gathering so I brought them there. They wanted to surprise me with a cake at the jap restaurant but they had to lug it to the new destination instead. Haha. After tt, they came over to my place for drinking and mahjong and what nots.

It was a day filled with fun and laughter, and it was really my most memorable bdae celebration ever. I always thought that the length of a friendship determines the strength of it but clearly enough, I was wrong. It wasn't the activities; but rather, the company that dictated the intensity of exhilaration experienced that particular day.

And yes, I certainly can't forget how much i'd vomited that eventful day.

Had to wear this "Birthday Boy" badge the whole day and I must say tt it'd garnered lotsa unnecessary attention!


Will be celebrating with the usuals this fri and my bmt mates on sat.

Tt aside, I've got 2 tests and a report due next week. what the fuck, seriously.

My sincere thanks to everyone for the well wishes!

US Open 2009 commences tmr!

Met up with yvonne, shereen, tianle, jason, and melanie on sat to catch UP 3D and I must say that even though i've not been an advocate of cartoons or animations, this is one of the few animations to watch. Their 3D effects aren't exceptional so the usual cinematic experience should suffice.

Went to essential brew for dinner thereafter and then it was my place for mahjong. Damn, I've never made any earnings from mahjong sessions in the past and as of sat, this proposition still stands. In fact, I had to incur a deficit of $3.70. i know it's not alot but it's cos we were playing with a base capital of $12; so if we were to play big, i'd probably lose the car or sth. Oh well. I suck at mj.


Federer clinched the championship trophy in Cincinnati yesterday at the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters after defeating 4th seed, Novak Djokovic in straight sets. It was his 4th ATP World Tour title of the year and 8th win against Djokovic.

And so my marketing efforts had paid off. Just take a look at the registration list and you'll know.. there were around 90 people who came down to our tennis booth to register.

On a side note, I was involved in a minor accident along holland road today. I accidentally hit the rear of an old toyota cos the driver (an old man) didn't dare to drive out of the filter lane due to a menacing oncoming bus. Upon seeing the bus, he started accelerating but decided to brake after a few secs. And so, seeing that he had decided to go ahead and beat the bus to it, I released my brakes and kept my eyes focused on the bus, trying to beat the bus too. But that was when I bumped the ass of his toyota. Seriously old man, pump up your guts. You put our gender to shame.

Ok it wasn't a big deal cos both our cars'd only incurred a minor dent that aren't visible from afar; but i had to compensate him cos' by law i was the one who'd hit him from behind. Fucking hell.

Spent the whole of last nite and this morning rushing the artwork for 2 tennis emailers; to be sent out to everyone in smu in time for Friday's CCA Day - Vivace 2009. Looks like my photoshop skills aren't too bad afterall.

I'll be stationed at the tennis booth from 10am -1pm on Fri so if you're interested in joining do drop by. However, we'll be holding trials to determine if you have what it takes to join the team. Anyhow, just sign up alright.

The new world number 2 dethroned Nadal from the spot after winning the Rogers Masters in Montreal, Canada defeating Juan Martin Del Portro in 3 sets. He currently holds 9,250 points just 1,790 points shy from the world number 1, Roger Federer.

Hurray Murray.

Family Tea Party.

Food. Cousins. Family. Sweet.
