A story of a fish and corn.

Once upon a time... there is a fish who named him self frog, for no particular reason. Maybe he wanted to be some thing else he was not.

The fish met a corn. On a holiday trip. They started to talk. Then they talked. And they talked. After the holiday trip... they came back home. Then they talked too. More talk.

Soon, the fish found out that he has feelings for the corn. Because it's yellow, green, with lots of corn kernels, filled with Vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, iron and dietary fibers. Its not that the fish liked eating the corn though, it just thought the corn was nice , with so much good substances and yea, the fish fell in love with the corn.

The fish decided that, yes, he'll make the corn his mate. Thus, he went into deep thoughts with his pea brain, on how to woo the corn. With his pea brain, the fish went out with the corn. He did what his pea brain told him to do and yea, he was a happy fish. That night after eating some of its own species at a very nice restaurant, the cannibal fish sent the corn home. Of course, they talked on the way back too.

As they are crossing the road, suddenly a ray of light shone on the fish. "Frog the fish... Do you hear me?" a voiced bellowed. "What!? Whose that... come out~ "Shrieked the fish..." Don't ask , I'm not supposed to show myself any where so don't bother too.. Any what ... hold her hand ... with this power I'm sending over to you, you'll have enough courage ..." the voice loomed ..." What the F." before the fish can even finish his sentence... He held the corn on her petal...

Thus they walked fin in petal... to her home. The fish was so high, that time; he thought he could be deep fried anytime. After the corn knocks her head on the fish's gills and the fish put some fish slime on some of the corn kernel the fish jump back into its little pond. Which seemed like an ocean to him.

The fish was happy.

"Did you know that fries contain hydrogenated vegetable oil?" The corn said, on a day out together with the fish. "What's that?"he fish asked munching his fries." Its one of the worst fats as they contain toxic Trans fatty acid .Fat molecules chemically altered. Which wreak havoc in our bodies. They contribute to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, MS, and many other health problems" "O_O really.... -_^" as the fish turned his munches into nibbles... "Yes...~trust me"

One fine day, the fish was sitting around with his fish mates... and they were just doing fish talking around.

"What!? You did every thing so fast?"Yelled fish mate 1

"I don't know, it's like some one up there told me to" explained the fish

"You think you're a marlin or something? You're just a Gold fish for good ness sake..." said fish mate 2

"Well, actually ... I don't know....."Mumbled the fish...

Days past by so quickly ... Like they say, time flies when you're having fun and feeling happy and all; It sure does for the fish. Every day the fish went back to his little pond feeling so happy, doing somersaults out of the water. He almost drowned himself.

The fish was looking forward to see the corn again every time he doesn't see her. They'll talk ... and talk and talk... how ever ... some things happened... and, the corn started not to talk to the fish that much any more...The fish started swimming slowly every time he ain't talking that much with the corn. He was worried .He starts to think about all sort of things that might happened... what if some one made her into cream of corn soup, what if some one decides to put her in high energy bars ... what if she turn pop corns! The fish was disturbed... quite disturbed...

He asked her...if there is anything wrong... she told him, these words ..." I think there are barriers in between us , something restricting me from talking to you, most probably because we went into some thing without knowing what's for us both. I guess, it'll be better if we were to start afresh and get to know each other more... "

"You're being too nice to me..."

The fish tried to get her back. He did stupid stunts, and he prayed to god to show up and give him a sign again. When god didn't show up, the fish curse him with all the curses his pea brain could come out with. Thus, god showed up. He was pissed...by the fish doings and he pissed on him. Then god decided that he was not satisfied enough , he decided to fart and blow wind on the fish ... It was a thunderstorm, the fish was drenched in rain water...not that he didn't want to be wet , but he'd prefer to be wet with pond water instead. He knew that he was helpless already by then...

He was going to say this..." But I love you, and I just want to be with you. Like what we've been doing... barriers can be moved ... we're going to learn about each other as we move on together... that's if..."

He couldn't bring himself to say those words. He knew that some how, the corn was determined by this. From the way she talks, that yea... things may have long been gone even before he realized...he respected her and her decision...

"I thought that this is the best of us, we will be hurt even more in the future if we continue any more."

The fish has a pea brain; he didn't understand a lot of things. He didn't know why it happened, how is it going to affect him, what comes next , where to go from here...So the fish went back to his little pond and started swimming on its own... Fishes don't cry ... they can't shed tear... they just swim and swim.... in those little circles in their lives...

Life is like a box of chocolates... you'll never know what you'll get

Ever been marvelled by the fact that life is so unpredictable. Things that you think won't happen... just happen with you totally oblivious of it.

This fact , embraces so many emotions following by it. Bringing grimace to faces , mourning for the lost of something.. most likely something precious. On how so suddenly , it just go away . Like ripping this piece of flesh from your gut deep within.. leaving you in this melancholic agony , desperately attempting to break you down.

Well, don't get me wrong. Its not all about bad things happening.. it could bring about blithe and starry eyes. Like how things seemed to fall into one big piece... one way or another ... to your liking. Miracles , they called it... thats why we hold on to hope.. they say.

Ironic ain't it ? How the devil or angel it can be.

Sweet or bitter it is... we'ld have to decide how to take it any way .Pulling ur hair over it? Indulging in the sinfully sweet treat? Cry over it ? laugh over it?Well, what ever ways be thank ful of the people.. or person around you thats concern about you . They are the finest balms for the wounds you get from the ripped gut... or the ppl you'ld definitely like to talk to about the wonders of your life. Well, i think i'm thank ful ..

Right, you guys might be thinking why i'm suddenly into all these shet... I don't know why , i couldn't find an explaination to account for , but , i'ld like to reccomend you guys to go watch forrest gump. Its a nice show. Stupidly inspirational.

The Jab

I'm taking a thyroid jab tml YAY~~~~~~ SO FUN~~~ .....



not.




So this is where the thyroid gland is , and this is what is going into my body . I don't understand why i need a thyroid jab to work at sakae.. I read that thyroid is about what growth hormones thing.Why the hell i need growth hormones...

I"M GROWN ENOUGH~~~




I don't want to look like him man..Seriously...

I'm grown enough and i love the way i look now... Zzz , can't imagine what i'll mutate to after the jab. Maybe something like this...

NO!!!!!!!! i don't want to look gay......


Seriously, after a few looks , dont you GUYS think he is gay. Ay, side trackked.





Yes master~thanks for reminding me that the jab cost 20.90 bucks


Sigh, maybe i'm just being paranoid. Its just a jab wat. Its just a needle they poke into ur skin , into ur veins , and leave a hole there only wat. They will just inject something and hope the needle don't break only wat. Even if its breaks, it'ld just flow along with the blood stream only wat. Even if it does, the doctors might be able to locate it and stop it wat.. even if they don't , it'ld just reach the heart only wat. If they really don't before it enters the pulmonary system i'll just die only WAT~... Zzz

K, i'm not petrified.. just alittle shy of the needle. Any wat, i can't belive i'm paying 20.90 for something which doesn't even make me go high~ ...Well, for the end of the day, its still worth it T_T ...

Responsibility, filial piety, love and jokes

So , its a sunday today. Well, this sunday, is one of those sunday that had too many events happening in one day. So much that its too much for my weak little heart to take it...

Breakfast with dad and mum, something rare nowadays... not the most enjoyable though.

I saw how gramps had difficulty getting some one to bring him to the hospital. I almost wanted to gave up sentosa trip to follow him to the hospital. I dunno why his other sons and daughters couldn't bring him to the hospital when they drive big cars and have big money. Mum was almost jumping into fits already . How ever , when i visited gramps just now at the hospital.. he can still joke about how pretty the nurses there are with me.. So , i guess he'll be fine.. just alittle sad about how insignificant he can be ..

Sentosa is getting boring i think.Volleyball is not the same today, u get super poser ppl around. I'm also one big poser but , honestly i didnt like the matches much today. Ay , went off from sentosa early. Hmm, maybe its the ppl we are with ??? Thats why its like.. getting plain. I know siloso is not just about this only.Its about so many things else, perharps its just another SO thing too.

Vivo city is damn big with plenty of weird ppl in it. Don't belive? Go take a look .

We saw pauline on the way. The news she told us is terribly shocking. So shocking , that me and jx decided we shouldn't talk much. Else >_<....

Just received news from tw that i had to get a jab to vaccinate myself to work at sakae. Damn, the person who created needles is dumb.

Any wat, after much observations from today and before ... to the person whom it might concern,which i doubt would still be reading this... I think u've changed.. dramatically. So much... that its too much. Things were so much better and fun before. I didnt know how it turned so ugly that i would love to hate and hate to love... so... Zzz , please if You are reading this take a good hard look at what u've become. Ps, if u think that i'm refering to you, you are wrong, the person is just some one who will know that i'm talking about him or her. HOw ever , if u are having doubts u can come talk to me.

I'm a very approachable guy, i don't love every one , but i'm a very approachable guy.. =D world peace. I don't like gay banglas though.

No matter how ugly one is...she will be prettiest in the eyes of the person that loves her with all his heart...

This is so rare, i'm actually blogging two times in day.. O_o

Went hucking with patrick just now. HUCKING... is not some gay stuff. Its just riding and jumping here and there..

Ay, thanks to pat's much coaching and all... i finally conquered 3 steps of stairs. Woots, shuang.
And he was kind enough to video it for me..

Catched up with him here and there.. We were saying what if one of our pri school mates were to see us..The emo kid guy... i wonder how he is doing man.. most prolly still emoing around..

Arms all cramped up from all the hucking.....

Speaking of emo... hur hur.. am feeling emo now... reason being... i don't know why.. trust me~... Abit guilty too... reason being..i don't know why... trust me~ .. and maybe paranoid....

ZZz, tell me please...

So pwnned..

Right , yesterday i took a bus and i got caught by the uncle for using my bro's Ez link card.. REJOICE . Lol. But ay, so fun ... After so long ... its quite an achievement.=D

Ken kwan's class now..Zzz , gay tutorer. Other then the fact that he is gay.. i think he is pretty nice leh.I'm STRAIGHT. He said that i look so much better with my long hair. XD ,like woots, thats like the last thing i'll hear coming outta the mouth on a lecturer. Well, the fact that he still shrieks like a woman still makes me freak out though.Womanly man. Period.

Been quite broke recently , thanks to Tw ,i've got an applicable job as a waiter at sakae. Sushi mambo jumbo man.

Had this man to boy conversation with an insurance agent yesterday. The session was quite interesting , as he told me about his life as an agent , the crictism , the fun, the passion and the pride . He told me how he enjoy being his own boss when he worked as an insurance agent, which i think is pretty cool. Self given work schedule, self given breaks , self given holidays , self given targets to meet. Woots.

Right , Singapore is getting too small huh. No where else to go.. Zzz. Any suggestions guys?I thought vivo city is cool though.

Zzz, and its the 28... remember...

My mum..

Just came back home... 12:25...dinner had been waiting for me since don't know when.

I creeped into mum's room, she knew i was there but she just kept quiet. Took a quick bath and proceed to the kitchen to eat the dinner i promised my mum that i'll eat. Cabbage with roast pork, chinese sausage with egg and pickles and 5 spice chicken. They were all our , me my sis and my bro, favourite dishes.

Its been quite long since i ate my mum's cooking, and i especially missed this specialties she made, but nevertheless , i sense this melancholy as i scooped my meal.

I'm seriously afraid now... that i'll lose her... my mum. What she told me yesterday really had me thinking. Though i dindt really show it much , i'm seriously bombed by all the out comes which may occur tml .This fear ..... of losing sth precious..

She has always been a good mother . In fact, she is the best. I guess the only person who will still wake up at 6 am every day to make sure we be punctual to school after being totured by our numberous troubles we make would be my mum. The only person that would sacrifice her lunch just to get my brother's execise book to him before lessons start would be my mum. The only person that would throw all dignity away for my sis would be my mum. The only person that would share my sorrows, woes and misfortunes and let me have my happiness on my own would only be my mum.In fact , i think the only person who will make me cry now when i eat the dishes she make , would only be my mum...

I don't know how these tears start to well up and i don't know what i'm talking about,but i'm really afraid now... that she'll leave me..

I hope i'll be able to say these following words...

I love you mum...

Ladies night...

Went for super star musical with club gang ... apprantly, we were coerced.. btu over all, the performances was quite good. The music, was rather good especiallys on a few vocal expats. The skit was well written with a tinge of melo dramatism...whats more , even the president was there.

Right after that chionged down to dxo to meet jan and her gang, crystal, dk, han huei and xavier, woots i'm good . On the way there , the haze was so horrible that i couldn't see singtel building from like less then a kilometer away. How ever , i don't know why i am surrounded by this over whelming sweet talk , coming from the person beside me i don't know who, and i don't know who he is talking to ...It was so sweet that i think its worse then diabetic.

Clubbing is fun...when u don't look like a looney on the dance floor, which i always do... Zzz bad dance moves. Zzz , the dancers there are really good though , especially when u encounter an over sized blotch of fat which couldn't help jumping around in attempt of dominating the dance floor , at the expense of knocking at people like a pin ball.A softer and much succullent one that is.

It was ladies night yesterday thus drinks were free for the ladies . So , lol the guys kinda took advantage of the two ladies and got we self some free drinks too. Eventually we were drinking alcohol like drinking water. Right, i'll start my quest to quit drinking again. Starting from tml!

Irene told me a few stuffs just now on the net, hmm. Kinda made me ponder abit. Maybe i should do like what she said instead ... right.... sigh, weather damn hazy.........

The power of love..

One would think that the power of love is something which is so great...... so powerful.. so magnificent that it is far beyond any magnitude of definition...










All i can say is ... you guys are so pwned.... the power of love........ is an album with 17 tracks.







So powerful.O_o

I've forgotten who what where when, remembering only you me there then.

Right , one of those zombie auto pilot days today.

Couldn't slept a wink ever since the grass hopper cross breeded with cockroach insect the size of my wallet came hopping by the room. Not that i'm petrified or sth i just wish that it would hop with more ease and consideration. I can feel it on my hand for a moment .

Zzz and there goes , 5 hours straight i can't slept a wink . Mind flooded with senseless thoughts , clouding the will to sleep too.

Lessons today were quite dry . Esp the first lessons.Pitchy and spastic tutorer. Followed by another as always pitchy and spastic lectuere. Gg.

Was tickled pink by mr brown's pod cast though, especially on this particular episode on maids in singapore. "So, does my maid come with gurantee?" adapted from Mr brown show..

Alicia finally agreed with my questions to be posted to the principle wit regards to the size of the club and the rat problem. Of course , language and phrasing wise got to take note while asking the holy one.Another thing to add, Alicia actually complemented our club, news from daryl . Its so unexpected to hear her sing praises for us , when the fact that she would not reprimand us on any nitty gritty would be rare enough.The world changed , woots, now 3 out of 5 ppl in the world from 60% of the world population.Serious.

I drop dead on my couch the moment my face kissed it . Too shagged. I woke up at 7 by noises in the kitchen and had this weird sense of dejavu. I looked at the mechanical clock above me , 7:10 SHUTS , i'm late for school. I jumpped out of the sofa and rush to wash up while asking my mum why didnt she wake me up earlier .. then she came to me and told me... " son, its P.m now..not a.m . " -_-

My bio clock is seriously messed up.

Collision.

Right, sorry guys for the not updating. I'm back. But to king kong peeps.. i'm sorry... i can't and won't post on our trip back at redang any more. Unluckily, i lost my external hard disk and all my pictures ,videos, work and club stuffs in it. I'm still dreading over it, though i'm not supposed to .

Cca week had been quite hectic for every one. Thanks guys ~! For rotting at the booth every day during the drive. We over did our expectations but it was all good. Least we got what we aimed for. RIght, its still down to events , proposals and Alicia Zee so.. woots, all the best for Sp cyclists.

Had fish and co with King kong peeps the day before.

I think the staffs there just wish they were dead with us around. XD

Woots.. the ambience , the service , the live band and most importantly the people simple rocked. Though i had a hard time fighting with my sword fish, i couldn't get enough of soaking in the atmosphere of the tribe again. Especially when adrian went up the stage and sing.

That man is fearlessly mad.

Watched john tucker with gold fish(G.F , one way or another XD) . Chick flick huh. Not bad one , suitable for gals , and guys who likes to exercise alittle out of the box imagination ,literally.Right, no pics for the movie .

Starting of school had always sucked for me. Although i get all the cancelled lessons and all,like today. When i only got to know of a cancelled tutorial after sitting in the class room, and this is not the first time somethign like this happened. Not to mention 8 am classes almost every day. Which i so hate .

Geoffery from unicyclists came again. Hai, old stuffs about merging and all. Its like ,wth this thing had been dragging ever since dunno how many generations of presidents ago. I wish i could end it here . With them going their way , and we going our way . Cycling with one wheel and two wheel... we've just too much difference to co exist man.

Pedal power ppl called again. Regarding yet another event. Zzz, they never give up at encouraging youth to cycle for pedal power.How ever , ay its still a long way even before they can have their own professional batch of cyclist . The other day mr stephen called me again about engaging a coach to coach. I was like.. u mean there is a team to coach? hur hur


Any way, life has been pretty good now and then. Despite all the complains i've just wrote.Especially this few days. Some thing very very special happened to our Jc . Woots. and yeap, i'm lovin it.I don't know why.XD

someone told me to help him blog bout his life.. cuz he's one lazy person.. so here goes, jc.. ur post:

J.C's life.


muahahah.. =p

Redang islands

The night was cold, the air con was spouting cold air in a mono tone above my head. The engine of the bus buzz through out the night as i embark on my trip to terrangue to catch the ferry to go to redang. I had mixed emotions as i watched the bus driver recklessly drive in the midst of the darkness of malaysian road. Why won't he keep his head lights brighter. I turn to kenneth,my bunk mate,tribe mate , president of choir club," eh kenneth, see the uncle perform stunt" as the driver over took 3 tankers on a single lane road.

Sleeping then wasn't something we intended to do as the members from king kong tribe chatted away at our little corner . The occassional pit stops brought about excitement in the bus , as this meant toilet breaks, snacks, and the must have chewing gums.

I was browsing through the mart at a stop some where and noticed that price of things had risen quite significantly. I guess the people living there must be cursing us "tourist"for the price rise.

We finally reach terrangue jetty after 9 hours of bus ride. It was not that uncomfortable like i expected and i managed to get a few winks of sleep.Break fast was light with the energy bars they handed to us and a cup of tea. After a group picture and some chilling sessions with the tribe we were set off to take the boat to redang.

I almost had sea sick on board the cruise, Zzz, the effects of the pills wearing off. Any wat, I really got turned on as i saw how blue the blue sea was and the waves that slapped against little foundations around our destination.

Upon reaching the island, we were greeted by crystal clear waters and white sands of the magnificent beach. The waves and batik looking buildings promised me a holiday which would be much enjoyed.

After much registerations and paper work we finally chked in to our allocated room. I shared room with Adrian (aka king kong ) , Alex and kenneth.


Woots. After dropping the barang barang we proceeded to the restaurant for the buffet lunch waiting for us.After which was the programmes that the organising committee had planned for us.

The trip

A few months back , ernest and i were envying how kenny spent his time at phuket with the clear waters and fine beaches. We made it a point to go there during september holidays . Due to tight schedules and -_- budget.. we didnt manage to make it to phuket . How ever , we went to another place which i think should be far better off then phuket. The redang islands.

If u guys have no idea where that is.... don't ask me...i only know its in malaysia.

Well, we were there to attend the leader ship training camp " leaders of tommorow" organised by the staff from Saa.Its a camp where leaders from different clubs in sp converge in groups,and shared a common experience and fate in the camp. Now , what the organisers want might be for us to remember the lessons learnt during the camp... but i just couldn't do that.... the experience i had was just too over whelming, it over came the lessons i've learnt there.

We were all organised into different groups(tribes) during the pre event work shop on the 13th. I'm in tribe 4, which was later named as king kong tribe. 15 leaders in a group, 11 gentlemen and 4 ladies. God knows then what is there to unfold for us during the camp for the next few days.

Don't crash.

One fine day, we went to cycle , some one fell and we gotta call the ambulance.-_-

Right, had one of our events organised by yet another sub committee. Woots, so proud of the bunch of them who put in tremendous work in the paper works and adminstrations. Zzz... but..

Right , if ppl were to pay alittle more attention to what i've always stress on every ride.... things will not have to happen this way.

So this few cyclists... they over take the lead man for the day.... They were going down this very steep slope.... and there is a blind corner furthur ahead. Since its a blind spot, the car turning infront can't really see the cyclists until they are very near. So, they did met and one of them crashed while trying to avoid the car and the other swerve into the curb inorder to avoid the guy infornt who crashed. Zzz, then he flew and knocked into poles of a post . The first pole hit his head , which luckily was covered by a helmet. The second one , unluckily hit his right cheek whcih caused a dislocation of jaw , and a cracked cheek bone. Ouch.

The ambulance was called and the boy was sent to Nuh. Zzzz...

He is fine now, but ay, things like this can be prevented. Felt quite guilty then... but thinking about it alittle relived my guilt.

Lesson learnt... always pay attention to the safety briefing at start of the ride.Zzz

any wat what u guys think of this design below.For t shirt.

Don't forget

Ay, miraculously... i woke up early today. Scourge through the kitchen for break fast.. Cookie crips again, i've been having that for like the past week. Zzzz .

Then i watched an episode of opprah. Nah, i'm no fan of hers , just that cna is airing some lame shet interview.

Today's episode of opprah was doing a special shoot on the footages of hurricane katrina's aftermath. Ay, before i watch the show i thought that hurricane katrina was the one that hit indonesia and thailand all those. Well, its something that happened at missipi and new orleands. The cities of united states.



Pff, the interviews and shootings on that particular episode is really heart breaking. Zzz, better not talk about how their officials are handling the situation there.Which is obviously not efficient nor effectively aiding.

I saw how the families are struggling with survival in desperation. How they squeeze in quaters no larger then perharps ur own hall . The food that they had to made do with. Pitiful. Well, i couldn't help much but say this silent prayer for them and for their love ones which passed on .. or still couldn't be found... -_^its been 6 mths.



I felt blessed after watching that episode... Begin to appreciate things alittle. Eating my cookie crisp... ain't such a bad thing after all.

Don't belong.

Sinned as a vagrant i am.
Lying admist the vagabonds ,
with no where to long.

Walks of life pass me by ,
different ppl come with the tide.

Hearing sorrows ,
that can't adjourn.
Lying the frowns,
with these legs i stand firm.

writing this shet ,
i don't know why.
Perharps its a spurt
of melancholy.

Sinned as a vagrant i am.
Let me be sinned
and punish the way i deed.

Don't frown

Right, am having one of those healthy life style kinda day today.

8 hours of sleep, 30 mins jogging, 2 hours books reading, 1 hour grocery shopping, 2 hours cooking.. hapiness.... timeless....

I took chicken cooking to a newer level for myself today.



Ingredients used:

One whole chicken.
1 Red casicum
1 Yellow casicum
Tomatos
Sauce X

Methodology.
First, mix every thing.
Second Put every thing onto chicken.
Third Preheat oven to temperature to cook chicken.
Fourth Put in chicken.
Fifth Serve

See baking chicken is so easy, i just did it in 5 simple steps. Now , if Jc can do it, you can too~!

-_-

been reading this book i've lent from ernest.

Happiness now - andrew matthews.


The book talks about taking positive perspectives to every day life. With the little jokes and stories , the author writes to show how one's life can be so much better by following the little philosophies in the book. It is indeed a nice book to read , with illustrations that yet , bring more humour.

"You don't find happiness in the absence of problems. You find happiness in spite of problems!" quoted from the book it self.
