A little more about myself ...

Posted by Greybar at 08:29 AM on March 5, 2004 as a stickied post.

Im a very mysterious kind of guy ... Most ppl dont even know the real me and i kind of like it that way.Sorta gives me an advantage.

I usually have my own say on anything and everything ranging from "that gals hairdo" to "he/her view of how they shld live out their lives".

I try my best to be optimistic , friendly!

And i think im naturally humourous under the right circumstances/situation.

I might be 17 years of age but i DO know that i have gained more then just 17 years experience on life. I personally think that i know more about life here on earth then a 50 year old adult would have gained in his/her entire life.

Im a very determined kind of guy , if i aim for something i would go my all out to get it done! But theres a downside to it too... cuz when im uninterested in a particular job ( and given a choice ) I go all out to avoid or "destroy" it. And i'll be rather despondent if i have NO choice but to do it.

When im despondent , I can be exceptionally a loner and thats that. I try not to get into this mood by being positive.

Hmm, I am also quite self-motivated, have some measure of self-control and i always try to tolerate certain irritating friends!

And incase you are wondering ... i am rather social yet anti-social as well ... i have a little of both.

Furthermore, because im smally-built I dont exactly believe the crap that "Size Does Matter" because it just doesnt!

I have changed my mindset and attitude lately ... i used to think that life was miserable and it was nothing but "Birth , Study , Work , Death" but now i make it a point to note that LIFE is the best thing god has given to us mammels!... If u dont believe in God or whatsoever you can go on moaning about why life is soo unfair because theres fairness in this world but it is just not everywhere.
Also, i was once very hot-tempered even the most trival matter would cause a fight... but now i have realised that nothing in this world or in my lifetime is worth fighting for anyway. ( And besides, I have exercised lots of self-control and tolerance lately.)

I will add more once i have discovered more about myself. Besides theres this lingering feeling that i did miss out a few more points about myself .. but i just cant grasp it! I know soo much about life yet know soo little of myself ... maybe i myself dont even know the real me!

Too much of a Glutton =_=

Posted by Greybar at 10:39 PM on May 6, 2004.

well , went out today with a fren to watch a movie ... we watched Beautiful Boxer ... sad yet such a true story.

woke up early at 9 am today ... met up with my fren b4 stopping by at Nativity Church to meet Father Fred ( a priest ) ... such a nice person .. gave me a very good first impression of him ... anyone .. my fren wanted to enquire whether Father Fred needed his handphone to be serviced cuz it is kinda spoilt ( if so we could help him service it at Orchard nokia shop )... but since it was working quite well when we came there was no need to ... not to mention Father Fred even offered to give us a ride to Hougang MRT station so we could go down to Dohby Ghaut ( argh! seemed to have forgotten how to spell ) and then to orchard ...

Once at orchard we lunched at Coffee Bean ...i had Tomato with herb linguine and Ice Mocha whilst my fren had a similar tuna pasta with a Raspberry drink.

Finished our lunch after much chit chat at ard 2 pm and we walked down to Lido cinema for our movie ...

Once our movie was done .. we travelled to Tampines Mall to have our dinner at the Food Court ... and later rushed down for Eucharist Preparations at Holy Trinity Church at ard 7pm ... Euch prep finished soon at 8 pm and later went out for supper with 2 other of my community members .... it was kinda a light supper ... ate rojak and some kinda soup and other delights ...

So yea ... now im a Zombie with a full stomach ... quite a tiring day today ... Zzz sleepy now ...

Comment please

Back to my old ways

Posted by Greybar at 11:30 PM on May 2, 2004.

Urgh ... im back to my old ways of playing computers games for long periods of time again ZzZz ... but im glad it is not really that "hardcore" ... haha

I still remeber the times i used to play MMORPGs like Renewal and Ragnarok Online for 6-12 hours striaght ... wow major damage to the eyes. But i have since given up MMORPGs ( well for now ) ... right now GunBound has been my main choice of game ... reason simply because it isnt too addictive as MMORPGs like Ragnarok Online can be and that means ... lesser time on the PC yea ...

And to add on to my unhealthy lifestyle .. i have stopped swimming for quite some time now ... all because of the one particular incident ... well ... i'll just share it here ...

Once i went for my usual late morning swim at XXX swimming complex ... and as i just finish some laps and was taking a rest at the side of the pool ... through the sides of my eyes i caught this dude looking lustfully at me O_o ... i stood my ground but this time i took note of every single movement this guy made ... ( incase he tried to do any thing to me eg. molest me ) ... this dude was rather new ... i could tell that since i have been swimming 3 times a week and for quick a few months now , therefore i knew all the regulars who went there for their morning swim .. and this dude was someone i had not seen before !

Then he made his move ... he inched closer and closer to me ... * my hands clenched * ( sorta my natural reaction b4 i punched someone in the face ) ...and just when he moved dierectly next to me ... i turn my head sharply to look directly at him ... OMG ... he gave me a grin =_= ... and we started talking...

the conversation went as such ...

Guy: HI !
Me : hi ...

Guy: Did u play basketball with me before? ... i sort of remeber you
Me: No ... the last time i played basketball was when i was in primary school

Guy: Oh ... so what are u doing now?
Me: Waiting for poly ...

Guy: Wow ... good good ... the best time to relax ... so how often do u come here to swim?
Me: 3 times a week

Guy: Monday , wednesday and friday right?
Me: Yea ... so anyway what do u do?

Guy : Erm office work
Me: u dont have work now?

Guy: Eh i work weekends sorta those funfair events type .. so im pretty free on weekdays ...
Me: icic ... u come here often? ( i already knew the answer just wanted to keep the conversation going )

Guy: Nope
Me: Oh .. i see u are quite a sports man ... what sports u do?

Guy: Basketball , and blah blah blah ... so.. where do u usually hang out
Me: at no particular place ...

Guy: You go to clubs or anything? maybe we can meet for a game of pool or bowlling sometime
Me: urgh ... ok ... ( i dun mean it actually wahahaha )

Guy: hey wanna exhange HP no. so next time u want someone to accompany u to swim u can call me ... i sometimes get bored swimming alone
Me: Alright

Guy: my number is *********** yours?
Me: *i gave a false set of numbers* there u go !

Guy: Great , ok so when are u leaving?
Me: Once im tired and can no longer swim

Guy: ok ... im going off now *stays in the pool looking at me *
Me: ok bb * swims off for another lap b4 he says anything else*

*warning this conversation is only 90% accurate i cant remeber every single word that was said during that entire period and i may have left some parts out *

Im not used to total strangers just chatting me up like he did ... too friendly? ... was the " do u play basketball " qns just a hugh ploy to get a conversation going with me?

And why during the entire conversation and even when i first caught him staring at me did i feel he was somewhat homosexual?

He had this fake smile on his face ... ... i still cant get over the feeling that he was indeed gay =_= and he was trying to chat me up for god knows what!

Ok so thats it ... i decided to take a long break from swimming for NOW! ... just so i dun bump into that dude at the swimming complex again ...

Comment please

Full of unexpected twist and fun.

Posted by Greybar at 11:05 AM on April 22, 2004.

Well , since i was too tired to put this entry yesterday. I guess i would write it in now ^^.

Yea, well yesterday i met a friend over at his house and left my guitar there ( for later use ) ... afterthat we took the MRT down to Doby G. and then took another Train down to Orchard. Dropped by Cathay Cineplex Orchard and booked our movie tickets ...

Well, we decided actually on Walking tall but on realising that there were only soo few ppl watching it .. my friend had doubts on whether it was really a good show ha! ... then this ang mo just came to the other counter beside us and I overheard him say "One ticket for Zatoichi please" ... *i turned ard and told my friend* " Lets take Zatoichi and so we did .. its a japanese film but with english subtitles.

Okay so we took our tickets and left ( the time was 3pm on the dot then) ... My friend told me the show was at 4.10 pm ... *he gave me the tickets to keep* and i said that the show was 5.10pm not 4.10pm ... ( okay so nvm .. we were hungery ... we decided to eat lunch first then later check if it was 4.10 or 5.10pm )


We walked to ... a shopping mall somewhere and i was stucked deciding between eating lunch at Sakai Sushi or at Marche. But anyways we soon settled on Marche. Over at Marche we had soft shelled deep fried crab , fried kalamari , stripped potatoes and 2 cheese knuckle sausages with black pepper gravy. Yummy.

But here is the twist ! ... just as we had already ordered our lunch and were about to dig in ... My friend asked me .. " So the movie is at 4.10pm right ... " .. therefore to proof him wrong ( that the time was 5.10pm and not 4.10pm) i took out the tickets from my pocket to show him the time ... =_= and for goodness sake the ticket stated the time of our movie at 3.00 PM!!!! ... shocker O_O ... we couldnt believe that both of us were so "cock eye" to miss the time thinking that it was 4.10pm and 5.10pm respectively =_= ... so nvm the time was 3.15 pm already ... we had already missed 15 minutes of the show ... sooo we were pondering ... and yea heck care .. decided to eat our lunch first b4 deciding what to do with our movie tickets ... =( ...

after eating for 45 min ... nearing 4 pm ... my friend came out with this ridiculous idea that he could maybe change the ticket for a 3pm show to a 5.30pm show =_= ... ok sooo as i tot it was pretty ridiculous i decided to let him do the talking ( as he always do ) ... and meanwhile to avoid embarassing myself i told him i did be hiding in the toilet! ... (i means what happens if .. the person at the counter says OUT LOUD .. so u missed ur show eh? sorry no refund and cant change ... =_= .. there were sooo many ppl queuing that it would be utter embrassment) therefore my friend would be right for the job as he is rather thicked skinned ... or so he claims.

Fine .. i let him give it a shot ... so i stay a distance from him ( pretending i nv knew that person ) as he was at the counter talking to male staff....... my friend told me he plans to say this " Excuse me .. one of ur female staff gave me a 3.00pm show ... but how am i suppose to watch a 3pm show?! " ... i dunno what actually went on there but... my friend came back smiling with tickets for a 5.30pm show =_= ... sooo the ridiculous idea was indeed a brilliant one afterall.

the time was 4pm + now .. had nearly an hour b4 the show .. so my friend decided to go get his Rolex watch repaired ( The watch was passed down to him by his father ) ... ok sooo my friend was hoping the repair would only cost $200 + but.. the greedy Rolex person reared her evil side .. and said " Ur watch is spoilt cuz of water entering it .. ur crystal needs to be replaced , bascially we need to do a overhual on your watch ur here is spoilt *points* .. ur here is spoilt *points again * ... and *while looking at her pay check* she says " It will cost u $901 ! " ... *smiles like how those sales ppl do when they have secured a good deal*.

Seeing that $901 is no small sum my friend tried to ask if whether some parts could remain ... and just repair those really dmged parts ... the answer was no ... on the pretext that 1 damaged part would allow water to seep in spoiling the watch again ..and he would have to pay more to repair it again. Ok so nvm .... his watch would be left with the rolex company for 2 weeks as they do repairs on it...* his father would be feeling the pitch * well or so he told me.

Wow .. anyway after that ... we rushed off to catch the movie ... Zatoichi! ... it is bascially a blood and gore movie mixed with humour ... the show is about Samurais , Japanese gangs , Geishas ( female and a male transverstite of the Naruto family ..self proclaimed assasins ) , Ninjas , gang fights ( samurai style ) .... therefore the movie was all about .. hack slash .. hack slash ... all die kind of thing .. this show is totally gruesome yet ... hilarious! ... everyone was laughing throughtout the entire screening of the show .... what i like best is the Samarai style fightings that occurs .. wow .. there was this blind masseur ( a skilled swordsman at that ) and a skilled Samurai hired as a bodyguard for the Ginzo gang. the story went as the 2 Geishas trys to kill Mr Ogi ( one of those assasins of the Kinochiwa gang that murdered their family 10 years ago) ... and so on ... i dun wanna tell u guys the whole story ...

My rating for the show would be 5 out of 5 yay!... simply the best!

okay the show ended at ard 7.30 pm .. my friend and i had Word of God ( 8 pm ) to attend to over at Holy Trinity ... so we sorta took a cab down to his house grabbed our guitars and well ... got a "car ride" down to Holy Trinity ... the time was 8.15 pm .. by then ... ( hmm the WoG started late as usual so we didnt miss anything )

WoG ended at about 9.30pm ... I went down to the coffeeshop opposite with some of my other catholic buddied and had supper =X ... yea i had my chicken chop as usual ...

End of the day .. reached home at about 11.30 pm ... *yawn* ... bathed and slept ...

Something amiss...

Posted by Greybar at 09:47 PM on April 16, 2004.

Yea... today was my matriculation day ... travelled to Ngee Ann Polytechnic for my registeration ... the bus ride there was almost an hour long ... but its okay ...
can sleep! haha

Once there , met up with a friend for lunch at one of its canteen... had lemon chicken ... no shit ... the serving was soo small ... ( i mean how did i know i was to order upsize or something ... for chickenrice! ) heck nvm...

when on to join the queue at the convention centre ... submitted various forms ...breezed through the CCA booths ( why? cuz im only looking forward to the CCA feista ... the CCA booths weren't too lively for me to even bother looking ... furthermore the CCA i wand was not even there )

Heh, not to mention .. i was caught up at the sports camp section ... there was this nice lady briefing me on why i shld join the sports camp ... u know .i really wanted to join so that i could meet some ppl before poly term begins ... but the sports activities she introduced to me ... just werent interesting enough for me ... haiz. Dragon boat this .. canoeing that and hockey! ... well this were the only activities 2 recruiters of the sports camp could tell me ... the rest of the activities they referred to as " other fun stuff!" and they didnt want to tell me on the pretext that it'll spoil the fun! ... ZzZz ... it just made me think that the camp only consist of that 3 sports! ... sooo i kindly excused myself ... hmm this is the reason why i said something;s amiss in my title.

Okay sooo ... done with all this .. i went down to take a look at the computers they had for sale below ( still at the convention centre) the 2 competing companies trying to sell us students laptops were Toshiba and IBM ... Toshiba claims up to 70% of NP students buy their laptops .. im unable to verify that =_= ... besides it was not hard to tell why Toshiba was the fave... afterall in my opinion they were offering some of the best laptops with hard to resist prices ... im eyeing the 3,147,000 dollars Satellite M30 fitted with NiVidia GeForce grahpics card , 1.6 GHz , 60 MB HDD , wireless technology and a cool moniter!

Too bad i couldnt place a order on direct purchased .. reason being i forgot to bring $200 as direct deposit =_= ... sigh... so that means i'll be coming down tml to place my order ..*reminds myself to bring $200*. On the bright i think my father will be driving me heh ... so saves the trouble of travelling for an hour + on bus .
