watch the dark knight...... stellar movie and heath ledgers portrayal of the joker is worth the $8 already....

fucked up the cinema location because i forgot to inform the guys that we change plans... thankfully samuel heckled the people at the ticket counter to change our tickets to a later timing.... thanks dude....

i usually hate paying for movies, but this one was worth it.....

speed racer was worth the $8 too, but only because im a fan boy....

todays psych test was fucked, but no point moping over it.... im going to have a nice shot of burbon in my batman glass to make myself feel better.... playing DJ tiesto's traffic at full blast is helpful too....


days till bangkok: 20

ok biopsych module is horribly fucked... samuel had to sacrifice his quiz today and it was still damn bloody hard....

this song by postal service is really good, the lyrics explain everything that people experience post-breakup, both the dumper and dumpee....



this isant the original video, sound quality on the original was horrible.....


Nothing Better
Postal Service

Will someone please call a surgeon
Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
That your're deserting for better company?
I can't accept that it's over...
I will block the door like a goalie tending the net
In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

So just say how to make it right
And i swear i'll do my best to comply

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

I feel must interject here you're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself
With these revisions and gaps in history
So let me help you remember.
I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I've prepared a lecture on why i have to leave

So please back away and let me go
I can't my darling i love you so...

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
Don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future
Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

I admit that i have made mistakes and i swear
I'll never wrong you again
You've got a lure i can't deny,
But you've had your chance so say goodbye
Say goodbye

7 in the morning, just finished reading a chapter in biopsych... its like fucking reading french!!






drinking at chevrons is always a good idea, so thanks to samuel and jo for booking the chalet....

the poison was as such:
a bottle of rum
1/2 a bottle of absout kurant
1/2 a bottle of tequila (that taste of wood)
1/3 a bottle of martell

shared among 8 people...


the order of craziness went like this:
studying and doing biopsych quiz together
dinner
drinking while playing dice
drinking while playing cards
proclaiming MANPOWER!
having a MANPOWER impostor (samuel)
having jocelyn join MANPOWER!
people deflecting sides while playing cards (MANPOWER vs MANPOWER impostor vs the girls vs the white guy)
allah is with me
singing with samuel
samuel having his underwear torn
throwing sameul upstairs to sleep
drinking straight from the bottle of rum
spin the bottle (i dont want to get into details but it shall live in infamy)
me wrestling with preston, and him kicking my ass
me getting my boxers torn by my brother
trying to sleep
dancing with samuel to mambo music (rick astley)
finishing the tequila with samuel while watching army daze
the migration of people from downstairs to upstairs and vice versa
crashing sometime around 4
waking up with a massive hangover

indeed it was a crazy night.... but super fun... thanks for all the drunken memories....

Sunday, June 29, 2008

im having one of those nights where i dont want to sleep.... the night/morning is really serene, the weather is cool, and looking out the window is pretty much as good as it gets....

bunch of things on my mind....

1) the SIM party.... if we can keep doing events of that caliber, we would be set.... money is good, its something my bro and i love doing and its exciting as hell....

2) what a good day of skating it was today.... you really dont know when good days like these come by and when they do, they remind you why you love skating.... i always wonder if its possible to teach and make skateboarding into a curriculum, like the ppl at sp have done.... its days like these that make me say its not possible to do so.... skateboarding is like a bird, you cant put it in a cage with rules and time lines... some of the best parts of it cant be taught, you just have to go and do it... no one can tell you how fun it is to bomb hills or spend hours working on tricks, you just have to do it for yourself.... skateboarding is not for everyone, some people try it and fine its not their thing... thats perfectly fine, but for the people who do stay on and keep at it, build friendships on it, and share the experience with others, there really isant any way to describe how magical it is....

3) the great presents i got for my birthday from my friends at school.... 2 books, 2 jazz cds and a bottle of martell.... doesnt get much better than that....

4) people in a foreign land i would like to meet some day......
100 posts....... funny how i used to hate ppl who kept blogs.... now look at me....

one hell of a drinking session at my place last night with the guys.... sometimes it feels good to drink till you black out.....

meeting with the sim ppl to discuss the party.... looks good and fun, but the costing definitely has me concerned..... hope we get the job....

great day of skating with sam 1 and sam 2 today.... at first we thought it was going to be shitty cos it was drizzling and thought the day was going to be full of flat land.... skating some drain cover at a basket ball court, then the nice curbs..... dinner and intimate conversations about politics, singaporean society and world event....

here is where the night got rad.... playing sames of shove variations, and finally playing strip manual competitions.... imagine 3 sweaty guys skating under the void deck in their socks and boxers.... with new era caps....

here are the photos to prove it:




skating today reminds me why ive stuck with it for 6 years.... sometimes it doesnt matter if your skating some shitty spot and it just rained, whats important is that your with good friends and this love for skating has brought you guys together.... at times we can have the best spots but the vibe can suck, so its really the people that make the session so amazing.... even if you dont do anything amazing that day, so what?? i didnt do anything memorable today but i played a longest manual competition game with my friends that ended up with us being naked.... for me that is enough for a good day of skate.... i dont regularly post up pictures unless it was a meaningful event, and this day of skate was one of them....

good day, except for the hang over....

and to all my friends who got me gifts for my birthday, thanks loads....

at the request of gabi's i shall talk about the newspaper article i appeared in.... i took the newspaper and was typing it in my room, when i realized i could just link the article from my blog.... i suck at typing....


ok fuck i just realised you have to subscribe to view their articles...... FUCK!!!

ok here we go again:

The Straits Times, 19th June 2008, Front Page

ANderson junior college student kenneth tham scored 2 a's and a b in his a levels and had his heart set on studying psychology.
he was offered a place at the singapore management university but instead chose a private course- the state university of new york at buffalo programme run by the singapore institiurte of management.
the priveate education route meant a quicker, more direct path to realising his dream of becoming a clinical psychologist.
he explained:"i can get a basic degree and masters in 4 years through the private school route. the smu degree would have taken me 4 years, after which i woul have to spend another 1 to 2 years on a masters course.
studying in australia aor the united states would have been too costly for his widowed mother and older sister to afford. 3 years at SIM would cost close to 60k. the additional one-year masters programme would cost another 30k.
the 22 YO is now in his second year after scoring a perfect GPA of 4 in his first year. he hopes to graduate with honours.


ok thats all the article said about me.... sorry for the horrible spelling and grammar, i hate reading off stuff and typing....

and forget abt the photo, i look like hell in it.... probably because i was drinking the night before, and they forgot to inform me about the timings for the photoshoot.....
