On our "visit" to Chatuchak market in Bangkok, we walked and walked and walked and stumbled onto a section where there were a few stores selling puppies of various breeds and sizes. Here's a video clip of 2 puppies we video-ed: SO CUTE RIGHT?! heh. I still have another clip of 2 BULLDOG puppies! After seeing them, we're seriously considering getting another bulldog next time:)

Ok, if I was learning how to play the guitar, or knew how to play the guitar, I would try out this song, although I think I'll probably have to work on my guitar day and night for many days in a row before I can actually master this song. So this song, "Cannonball" by Damien Rice, is old. Honestly, I first heard this song when I watched the Korean drama serial "Spring Waltz" and was so taken by the song. Last night I was just listening to it on the soundtrack again and I decided that I must share this song! Lyrics are below:) there’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth there’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt it’s still a little hard to say what's going on there’s still a little bit of your ghost your witness there’s still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed you step a little closer each day so close that i can’t say what's going on stones taught me to fly love taught me to lie life, it taught me to die so it's not ha...

I'm feeling HIGH! :) I've survived a marathon comprising of Math tuition from 4-6.30 and Econs tuition from 7.30-9.45 with a break in between for traveling and dinner. I thought I'd be sleepy and zoned-out but, NOPE, I'm actually happy. Something's wrong with me... Oh. If you haven't realized, I'm back from Bangkok! ;) It was an enjoyable trip even though I spent Sunday evening in pain because I was having a slight case of food poisoning and a really bad backache. So I was aching in the front and back. I couldn't stomach much of my potato-soup-from-Tony-Roma's dinner and I couldn't go to the night market with my sister and father. Shuckeroos. My stomach's much better now and after spending most of Sunday night in bed, my backache wasn't such an annoying bugger anymore. Thank GOD! Ok, I need to go put in a little bit more studying now. I feel happy, and this feeling is becoming rather sinful.

Here are a few photos I poached from Jien's blog after she's scanned in these photos from her polaroid camera:

This is a "music video" I put together as a farewell gift for the One-Thirders so that they'll have something to play and look at whenever they recall any One-Third memories. There are photos from JC1 and from here, you can really see the great differences in our looks and styles then and now. I just want to give personal messages to my fellow One-Thirders now, even though I have sooo much I want to tell them, I don't know where to start. I think I'll just give them one-sentence messages: Daniel . There may not be many photos in the video with you included but you're very much a part of us, not someone that may be perceived by others to be the odd one out just because you're the only guy in our clique. Jien . You have really brought about change in me, the liberal-ness, I believe? ;) Tina . I thank God for a neighbour like you... don't move anytime soon please. Bella . You can keep looking at yourself in any mirror or reflective surfaces you pass by wi...

Venue: Ida's Restaurant :) Haha no lah , One-Third came over to my house to have the steamboat, with Joanne providing the stove and all. I said the venue's "Ida's Restaurant" because my maid, Ida, the wondrous cook of the house, prepared chicken satay and kebabs for us to grill. She also acceded to my request for oatmeal prawns and her d-e-e-licious cinnamon apple pie. SO. Here's a whole BARRAGE OF PHOTOS! The One-Thirders (minus Daniel and Sheryl because they were still on their way) gave a warm welcome to my dad when he returned home from work, as if it was a guest they were welcoming to THEIR house when it's actually the other way around... Julie was the Prawn-Peeler of the night while Joanne was the Candid-Shot i/c! In another role allocation, Jien was a reaaaallly efficient Ice-Cream Scooper. Eventually, we had to say our reluctant goodbyes, having a mini hugging session, which was preceded by a photo-taking session with Jien's polaroid camera [Wi...

I put on my tie this morning for the last time as a school-going child because today was the day of our Farewell Assembly. I will never need to wake up at 6am, be fetched to school by 6.50am in my dad's car and will never have to start a day of lessons with Assembly at the track or CC from 7.20am. I've been doing this for the past 12 years. While, according to Jien, we've all been wearing a uniform for 15 years of our lives, counting our Kindergarten education. How am I going to get used to this big change? Well, somehow I have to. So we began the day with photos... The J2 teachers sang a song entitled "Love Changes Everything". It gave me goosebumps and brought a few tears to my eyes, while Tina was VERY touched. After Farewell Assembly had ended, we proceeded to LT3 to meet Mr Lee for our last ever Civics lesson with him. He settled all the admin matters and then rushed off for another meeting, I think, but of course, we took a class photo first. Then the phot...
