To my fish tank friend
We are living our own lives nowIt’s not the end once again
Hope that for tomorrow
Again, I’ll get to see,
My fish tank friend
Your breathless charms
Melting my heart away
Your innocent stares
Your presence I can’t bare
You’re my fish tank friend… friend… friend… friend…
You’re my fish tank friend!
I decided to compose this no brainer song for fun. It kinda sounds like a nursery song though on guitar. hahahaha.... oh well enjoy!

The start of a new year
I started off this year with no defined new year's resolution. I started this year happy, yet uncertain about the future. I started this year with being stripped off all material possessions. However, i stand here today, being as optimistic as possible. It's quite a sad year. I dunno whether it's because i'm growing old, or just growing bored of fun.I sit here today, just pondering on how far will you go for happiness? How do you measure true happiness? By having someone you can turn to every second of the day, n yet give no missed calls? or by having the people you love around you? or by having all material possessions which will aid you to be on the move in this fast paced world? Will you be happy and contented just by the way you are now, or are you always power hungry to live better for the next day? Are you happy being accepted by the world, or hide all inhibitions before people mock you King of the Jews? The question is, how do you measure happiness?
This year feels very clouded i guess. I don't know. This year, i guess i will open up my eyes to the truth behind true friends and plastic friends. I have alot of friends, but how many of these friends are actually true? who will come to the rescue the moment you call them? who will know when to back off when you need your space? who will understand and accept all faults of you? From my judgement of my friends, i say i have none who will. There are the set of close friends, but i guess, they aren't considered the "best" kinds. Some, just use you, and claim they do not want any disputes when you get pissed, then wen u need them, they vanish, they are the last to come wen u need a open ear. So, have you ever considered, it's not really the quantity, but actually the quality, and i guess i got to work on that.
how many will turn up for your funeral without feeling guilty?

Kumar Shoot
The shoot with kumar was F-A-N-T-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!Staged looks like it is gonna look reasonably good. Without the help of people like Francesca, Nic, my parents, school friends and marcel, kumar, aunts, cousins, friendsm etc. I would not have been able to accomplish anything this good. We predicted that Kumar will be a prima donna and be bitchy throughout the shoot, but he was very professional and did not complain at all. He was funny and at many times, dropped a few funny comments which ended us rolling on the floor laughing instead of doing our work. hee hee... anyway, it was quite a disappointment to those who said that they would help and did not contact me wad-so-ever that they couldnt make it. Anyway, there was enough help from some of the freshies and the people who came. I swear, Nicholas has good camera skills. I can do photography, but not cinematography! hahah! Editing till Interim II which will take place on tues, the 20th. By the way things are going, we will probably have a gala premier of the end product.

FUCKED NEW YEAR
What beats a happy new year?A pathetic one!
I swear this year is the most pathetic one i've ever had. And i've tried my best to keep it as optimistic as i can but no... things just keep falling the way you do not want it to fall. So, by far, this year, i lost more than 200 bucks in my wallet, broke my ipod, and on top of that got grounded during my birthday. What a celebration? And this year, constantly fighting with people. What do you think? is it just me or is it the new year aura?
It was just yesterday, the 9th of Jan 09, I was at the TP open house. I was doing my recordings which I didn't feel was good enough for the show. Pam fell sick so she couldn't come for the shoot. My sis had to take over. My sis has a pretty good voice but she couldnt pull off a cabaret song. After the recordings, i went to the 3d room to check my emails then meet my sis who went to buy double sided tape to put up the posters. I left the 3d room, walked to level 1 where she was pasted some posters around, met her again, went to level 6 to put one more poster up, then realised my wallet was missing. Went all around school, retraced my steps but was to no avail. Went to the GO who said they did not find anything. Probably stolen by some teenage boy. Made a police report and tada, lost 300bucks, my ic, ezlink, driving license, mini toons membership card, world of sports membership card, matriculation card, etc. WOW! not to mention, i was fucking stressed that day.
Today, I went to ice cream chef with some of them, dropped them off, went home, came out of the car, tried to take down my guitar books and redbull and then, i dropped my ipod. It broke in half, and the wires inside broke into 2. another 500over bucks gone to the drain. All this in 2 days. FUCKFUCKFUCK!!! I told my father about it and told him to help me check the price of an ipod since he was at Mustafa. Then later i get a call from mom who scolds me and says no more going out with your friends. You are becoming more careless. My birthday is just in 2 days. I just thought this year was gonna be great. I guess it's cos i didn't think of a new year resolution. SHIT HAPPENS! I wished i was dead now. It's fricking annoying to see everything you actually NEED in life, just disappear like that. I guess, just carrying too many things to get something done fast is a sign to show that i can't handle it. I just need something... I just need to be strong... I just I wanna kill that motherfucker who took my wallet and didn't return... I just wished I could turn back time... But i guess, i would never have learnt if it did not happen. WAIT! Why be optimistic! Like fran said, "You're the worst director".
So to wrap this up, i accomplished loosing more than 800 bucks, getting grounded for my birthday, and still being sane. Or so i think...
Alex managed to have better control...

HAPPY NEW YEAR
The irony that the whole world celebrates a day together without knowing the history behind it. Everyone also celebrates a day, which they call the first day of the year, which was not "God-created", in the sense that God says the first of Jan is New Year's Day, go forth and party. So technically, this is when it came about...New Year's Day first came to be fixed in January 1, 153 BC, when the two Roman consuls, after whom - in the Roman calendar - years were named and numbered, began to be chosen on that date, for military reasons.
God
Thank you lord for the many blessings you have emcompassed unto me for the year 2008. You have been a friend, mentor and father towards me. You were always there during the darkest of hours and was always comforting me during the many tribulations throughout the year when i felt that no one was there for me. I make this prayer through Christ our lord, AMEN.
My Family
Thank you so much for supporting everything I do, for being the pillar stone of my dreams and the shoulder to lean on when I yearn for support. Though I may sometimes dwell into unchartered territories, or try stuff like smoking, drinking, etc. I am sorry and I know your unconditional love beats no limit like what Jesus has set Man to possess. You have given me the strength to understand that having a family is worth more than having friends as a family stays with you no matter what. Like the quote from Lilo and Stitch, Ohana means family, Family means no one is left behind or forgotten. Thank You.
Though you are often the root of my problems, you are always around when I need help for anything. Thank you for helping out for my FYP, Staged. I've seen you grow and mature alot in this past 5 years, and though I previously regret knowing you(as blatant as it may sound), I am proud to have you as a friend now.
Your fashion beats no policeman, or shall I say soldier, but your friendship and commitment beats the world. I've known you for long enough, but i still find it a joy to hang out with you and the crew during the weekends in RG or for a swim during the week. Be not afraid about trying to be who you want to be, a soldier, a commando, a president, you name it. Dreams get you so far, Confidence in Yourself gets you where you want.
I do know that you visit my blog pretty often, so here is what i wish to say, Thank you so much for all the fun times we had swimming, eating and even praying. All the fights we had are definitely worthwhile as it has made both you and I grow closer together. I wish our friendship will last till we grow really old so that i have someone to annoy when I'm bored. Never feel hurt that you can't hear and that your world is falling apart. Just keep your friends close and never will you be insecure about anything.
Tasia
You have been a great friend since the time i met you. We have had our fun times and sad times together. I really enjoy your company and I'm sure there will be many more years ahead for the both of us to stay as friends.
Leanne
Thanks Leanne for teaching me stuff on the piano and for always being so friendly towards. Though it has been fun annoying you on countless occasions, i know that you will always forgive me with the snap of your finger. Hope we will remain friends for a long long time.
Christopher
From a friend to a brother, i realised that we've grown much closer since the time we set foot into PLAY. no i mean, Georges, and the drinking escapade. ahhahaa... It was a really fun experience clubbing and pubbing with you and bitchin about you know who. ahaha... You were always there to listen to my crap and be a true friend. Thanks.
Anton Rozario
Since I'm gonna force you to visit my blog, I'm gonna write you something which will probably make your goosebumps pop. HAHA... Thanks for being a friend and lepak partner.
Laura P.
Yo! yo! neighbour. i know your every move. HAHA.. oh well thanks for being a friend to kacau, flirt with, annoy, oh i already said tt... hmmm... and being a friendly neighbourhood neighbour.
Andrea, Felicia, Catherine
To the Graguks, everytime i hang out with you, i feel less chinese. HAHA... the way we talk, walk, and do things, are like typical Eurasians. It's super fun and I'm sure we will hang out more often soon since Cat is back. hahaha! Thanks to ya'll for being such graguks.
School Friends
Hey guys, this includes the 3000 over of you that I know. I could not barely write to the 1000 of ya'll so this is the best way. Thanks for supporting me in all my endeavors, be it magic or even design. All your critics and lessons learnt from you were all put to no waste. This includes the friendship and bonds we share. It was really awesome spending the 2008 with ya'll. Though i will be out of the school in april, i'm sure i will continue to be there in spirit and will definitely come back to help for camps or projects if ya'll need. I don't mind acting. hahaha!
Ian, Phipps, Nick
The 3 musketeers and best buddies in my life. It has been an awesome experience hanging out with you for the countable times this year. hahaha! I mean, we ought to this more often, ice skating, dinner, drinking, clubbing, buying evil presents for each other(hint: Chucky). It was all worthwhile the 5 years of great brotherly bonding, and many more to come.
Alexander Kow
Luckily after those Thai's put that band around me, you vanished. 2008 was a time for learning, 2009 is a time for change. You are indeed an awesome irritant and love your evilness of pranking people like Francesca, Tasia and many others. It is good that 2 of my friends pissed u off so much that I took control. After all, i love control. See ya never again. To the worst of buddies, Alexander Kow. Thanks for nothing.
Denise Rachel
Hey babe!! We ought to hang out more often. Go clubbing, drinking, you name it. I love hanging out with you and I greatly appreciate the times in RG we had previously and during the pageant. Sheesha soon? haha... Thanks for being a great friend.
Averyl, Renee, Stacey
I guess it boils down to Charlie(me) and the 3 angels uh? hahaha.. Thanks so much for all the fun times we had this year. All the wacky moments and upset situations with both RG and the world. Though it's been 5 years knowing ya'll, it feels like eternity. I really enjoy your jokes and characters. Though ya'll still owe us a clubbing outing, we will be patient. HAHAHA... see ya.
Casts and Crew of STAGED
Thank you for your hardwork and dedication towards Staged. I am sure if we work harder together, we will pull off Staged as a musical which will open up the minds and hearts of viewers. And who knows? a lil more effort to make a dream into a reality. Special Thanks(apart from the names above): Carmen, Fiona, Ubin, A. Michelle, Marcel, Manuella, Diane, Jon, Warren, Kumar, Linda Seek, Joey Ng.(sorry if i missed any names out)
Thailand Trip(Yvonne, Mark, Wei Xiang, Tina, Jacen)
Thanks for your kind hospitality while working on set with you. Though there were it's ups and downs with language, I'm sure we all did learn something from one another. But all in all, the end product worked! Thanks.
Sarah De Souza & Vanessa Nunis
Not sure whether ya'll read my blog but i guess ya'll deserve this. Thanks for being the best childhood friends. From the silly incidents as a kid, to the naive move on boys at this current stage. Ya'll have always made me find something amusing about ya'll. Even when it comes to boyfriend problems, or going goo goo ga ga over actors like the guy from Twilight. HAHA...
Clubbing Partners(Angel, Lina, Roy, Cryst, Hakim, Issac)
Thanks for all our clubbing experiences and many more years of clubbing!
Nadine Thumboo
To the cuz who forced me to write something about her. HAHA... thanks for... hmmmm.... being my cousin i guess... n for leaving your shoes in my place.
Heart....
