Live and Let Die.
Everyone's reminiscing about how year 2006 treated them.
I'm so not gonna do that. You can read my archived entries if you wish.
I'll just say that year 2006 was one of the best years of my life. I met so many awesome people.
I'm going to now, extend my thanks, appreciation etc etc to these very special people who have touched my life in their own special way either for the first time, or a couple of times already.
[Not in order of rank]
Holden, THE dog
Obviously, you won't be reading this but I just want to let people know how special you are to me. You're probably the only boy that I have never gotten mad at all. I love you so much and you'll never ever get replaced by any other dog in my heart. I love you so much.
My lil family in school. Agnes, Ain, Alvin, Fariz and Syamira.
Second year together! Woohoo... I'll never forget the times we spent together. First day of orientation, how WeiShan pushed Agnes with us and said that "She belongs with our group." Haha... Good move there. We've been through rather tough times individually but we helped each other out eventually. Tests, projects and exams... I wouldn't have done it if you guys didn't give those last min help to me. Thank you thank you thank you!!! I love you!!! Mwah mwah mwah!
My Papsy, eXe
It's a huge miracle how I met you. I'll say this again, I've never really commented on a band's myspace profile and I guess it's the "your mtv is going to be released on same day as my birthday" and maybe due to the fact that I was desperately bored and that's why I left a comment. I'm hella glad that I did. If not I probably wouldn't have learnt so much more than I can from you. You've always wanted the best for me and you never once not showed your care, concern and love for me. You've seen me at my highest and when I'm all awful and low but you never stopped caring. Thank you Papsy! I can never ever thank you enough! I love youuu!!!
My Moppy, Jachin
You've been such an inspiration to me. I wanna be just like you Moppy! Hahahaha... Ok ok, you're a great guy! Pillow fight in the studios are fun! Haha... And Moppy, thank you for being there to listen to me rant and rant. Thank you for being so encouraging in my drumming and my designing although your skills and work are like, a couple of a million times better than mine. Thank you for being hyper with me! And for making me laugh! I love you like how kids love candy!
Hantu! a.k.a. Ghost a.k.a. Kevin a.k.a. Seah! a.k.a. Shi Guang
If only I took literature in Secondary 3... Damn the school. Haha... Hantu, you've noticed when I'm rather down although I don't really show it when I'm at the studios. I love the times when we would go to Outram Park for dinner either after jamming or when no more work is left in the studios. You've listened to me ramble on and on and you've shared some of your stories with me too! Thank you! I love your dog and yes, I love you too!!! You're cute la ok?
My doctormixxyloolahahahahahaSSSS, doc
You ah, next week next week until next year already! MUTTON CHOP! MUTTON CHOP!!! Mixxy Mixxy, you're a quiet guy but I still have fun hanging around you. You say I'm a gift from Heaven, I say you praise me. Thank you for being there for me when I'm super pissed off and when I'm sad. Sure I'll take a chill pill! Haha... I wish I can help you more so that you won't get stressed too much! doctormixxyloolahahahahhahaSSSSSS thank you for being such a nice person to a small kid like me. Thank you for your love and I love you!!!
Roman, the only person I have not come up with a nickname for.
I still remember the first time we met. You were standing outside of eXe's house while I was deep inside, on the couch watching TV. Got to know you better bit by bit and I must say, you're hilarious. Still remember that time during Jachin's birthday party? When you did the rockstar thing? I caught it on video! Haha... Then there's the charity gig where you dressed up like a ancient medival soldier. Haha... You're very knowedgable when it comes to music and it's history and I've learnt so much just by listening. Love you Roman! You make me laugh!
My Homegirl, Kamal
DUDE!!! This year has been like, a HUGE rollercoaster ride for us even though it's just our first year knowing each other!!! Our ups and downs! Oh man... I can't believe it's only been one year! It seems like 5 years already! How we've grown so close to trust each other with our secrets. Our phone conversation can go on forever if not for sleep! Hahaha... Thank you for being there for me when I'm really down and out. For lending me your shoulder to cry on. For the brutal and sweet truth. For telling me that I can do it and for backing me up with your support. Thank you so much! I love you Kamal!!!
Heeedarrryatttt a.k.a. Hidayat
Holla! You another one, rollercoaster ride also. Haha... We've grown pretty close to eh eh? With all the gigs we've attented together. Or should I say, you accompanied me to. I hate you but I love you more at the same time. Haha... You've been super patient with me, and you've been supporting me with whatever I do, asking me not to give up. Thank you for attending to my requests even though it's at the last minute, and not complaining. You're a great great friend. Thank you!!!
My Munchkin, Darren
Thank you for re-introducing me to Guns N' Roses and Motley Crue. Now I'm hooked onto Slash and Tommy Lee. Thank you for being there for me when I'm down and pissed off. Thank you for also playing along with me when I'm full of nonsense. Should be easy for you la, cos you're full of nonsense yourself. Hahaha... Thank you for sharing your experiences with me whenever I needed support and encouragement. I love youuu Munchkinnnn.
Sighfool, a.k.a. Saiful
Shut up shut up... Basket... Your scarsm... It makes me laugh. I can never study when you're around cos of all the stupid things you do, like trying to draw a portrait of me, and showing me a picture of a donkey in the end. Haha... Thanks man, you've been one gentleman. *COUGH* I love you for that.
My Favourite Boys, Nicky and Yew King
You guys are like my big brother. From Camp Eagles all the way till now, although we haven't been talking much. I want to thank you for the times we had during the OGL period. Nicky, thank you for the fun truth or dare sessions. Yew King, thank you for the comforting. I love you two boys so much and I miss not seeing you guys on a regular basis now. Thank you both for lending me your arms to hold when we walk.
My Emo boys, Hairul and Firdaus
Thank you for all the help you've given me, for all the laughter you brought to me. I can never seem to get angry at you both much. Props boys. You guys are damn creative and artistic and I seriously admire you for that! Thank you for making me smile and chuckle and laugh till I can't laugh anymore. Thank you for letting me tease you, you guys know it's all fun! I loveeee you two alotttt!!!!! Ok Go!
Mervyneo! a.k.a. Mervyn
You've been such an awesome person. Your ability to stay focused, unbiased and your ability to foresee things. You and your sixth sense. Thank you for being like a brother to me. You're so cute la. *Pinches Mervyn's cheeks* Hehe... Thank you for your good advice and your support. And and... Thank you for being there when I'm super emo. If you ever need an Emo Manager, don't forget me ok? I love youuuu Mervyn!!!!
My BigLil Sister, Colleen
Hyperactive girl with insomia and a straw! RUN!!! Haha... We met through MySpace through Youth Gone Wild! and it's been fun! You're a funny girl and you make me laugh oh so much. Here's to many more laughters! I love you little girl!
The Renegades, Caylynn, Kellie, Maryse, Skylar, Sailesh, Ary, Ain, Darren, Hidayat, Saiful, Kamal, Firdaus, Hairul
You guys have been such great people to hang out with! It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know you guys and working with you all. I love all of you! Here's to many more outings in the future with the new Renegades! Cheers!
To everyone who is reading this. If you have been involved in my life one way or another, I would like to thank you for the good and even the bad times. I can never ask for a better experience up till now.

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home
Just an urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So by me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
Rags to riches
Or so they say
You gotta
Keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
You know it's, it's all a gamble
When it's just a game
You treat it like a capitol crime
Everybody' doin' their time
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The surgoen general say's it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette
But I can't see
Tell me who you're gonna believe
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
Capitain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester
With a broken heart
He said turn me around
And take me back to the start
I must be losing my mind
"Are you blind?!"
I've seen it all a million times
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to go
I want to know
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to see
Oh, look at me
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down
Oh yeah
Beat me down
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to see
Oh, look at me
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to see
Boy, I'm gonna be mean
Oh, oh take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to go
I want to know
Oh, won't you please take me hooooooome
Baby

Without you, there'd be no me.
I'm sad. Cos you're sad. And that makes me sad cos you're sad.
Ok lemme rephrase. I'm sad cos you're not the person I am used to talking to at the moment.

Stupid internet.
Met Chermaine for dinner. We went to NYDC to eat. Had this dish called "Tears In Heaven" while Chermaine had "The Meatball That Ate Manhattan". Talked about lots of stuff. From her work to my gig to boys etc.
Oh and she probably saw about 5 or more people on the street that she knows. Haha...
Will upload the pictures when I get them.
The internet has been such a bitch.

Do a jiggle.
Went to Penisula with Saiful and Hidayat today. Got myself a Guns N' Roses shirt and something else hehe...
After much window shopping, we headed to Swee Lee. Bought myself some soft squid thing and a popiah at Old Chang Kee's and shared a big gulp with Saiful and Hidayat.
Looked around Swee Lee, messed around and stuff. Then we headed to Art's Friend cos I wanted to look for frames to do sometihng. Messed around with the stuff again.
Then we headed to a couple of Guitar shops before heading to Bugis for dinner.
Saiful started scratching the coupon and sending the number as instructed. He's hoping that if he wins the car, he can sell it away and get a bass guitar with the money. Haha...
Went window shopping around Bugis around dinner. Saw Ridzman at the opposite side of the road and yelled, "Ridzman!" as we were passing each other. Haha... He saw me I think and stretched his hands up to wave. I had to jump a little... Heh...
Was looking for a hairband. Tried on loads of caps, weird hairbands that Saiful and Hidayat passed me. Not forgetting some jackets etc.
Oh, and I got Holden a new toy!
Home sweet home for us after much walking around.
------------------------------------------
It was long ago
Seems like a dream
The day I sucked the air
From a bottle of whipped cream
And I got real high
And things got real slow
And I started talking like this
What's going on?
I don't know
And then I sold my car
For a Greatful Dead ticket
My dad yelled at me
And he grounded me
And he said i was a dick
It was the worst day of my life
And I'll never forget
But the very next day
I was doing bong hits
In the back of my friend's chevy
So don't tell me
We're winning the war on drugs
Cause drugs are like a bog ol' can of ree
And you're all little bugs
And don't tell me
To not get high
Cause I'm as low as i can get
Without kissing your ass
And blowing you at the same time
Man, don't tell me about love and peace
Or that the Joneses have a handgun
Pointed at me
Don't tell me to just say no
I'm an addict, I say don't let me go
Whatever happened to sex drugs n' rock n' roll?
Now we just have AIDS crack and techno
So they busted me
So I say "fuck them up"
For selling dope
And I went to jail
And I wasn't forgiven
Like that little fucker who shot the pope
And he said i had the right to remain silent
And they couldn't explain
But I didn't resist
And I was invited
Cause all I ever wanted was the right to remain
And they questioned me
Yeah, they asked me "why?"
And I said "fuck off"
I want the rest to be shot
For selling pot
It's just my little way of saying "high"
Now my record's all fucked up
Now two times a week
They make me piss in a cup
Well what I want to do
Is piss down their throats
Man, don't tell me about love and peace
Or that the Joneses have a handgun
Pointed at me
Don't tell me to just say no
I'm an addict, I say don't let me go
Whatever happened to sex drugs n' rock n' roll?
Now we just have AIDS crack and techno
Okay, here's the sensitive part
They told me
It's time to change
Cause our parents had
Hendrix, Janice and Jim
But what about
River Phoenix and Curt Cobain
And they told me
To praise the lord
But I've been waiting for so long
For him to call me back
I think I'm gonna go pray
At Betty Ford
And they told me
That life was fair
But I can't smoke a plant that was made by God
But i can kill my wife if I'm a football player
And they told me
They told me to just ignore
But I'd rather smoke crack
Outta Nancy Reagan's skull
While gettin' a blowjob
From Tiffer Goarn
Man, don't tell me about love and peace
Or that the Joneses have a handgun
Pointed at me
Don't tell me to just say no
i'm an addict, i say don't let me go
Whatever happened to sex drugs n' rock n' roll?
Now we just have AIDS crack and techno

Rather fruitful day today for me I reckon. I got most of what I wanted to do for the gig settled, sent out emails, answered emails, "spammed" on myspace, and worked on a lil of the market place report.
Yay!
