I just came back from the Maroon 5 concert at the Indoor Stadium, and I can describe Maroon 5 in 3 words-
DAMN FUCKING GOOD.
It was my first concert ever and I must say it was worth every penny of the 150 I paid. Thank god I came, I think I really would've regretted it if I didn't. The atmosphere was fantastic and Adam Levine's voice was so soulful. I went with my cousin and my brother. I think I saw this girl who used to be from taonan, not very sure though. Think her name is Joy, I recognized her mum. Anyway back to the concert, I think it was really well done, they paced it excellently. Started off with Harder to Breathe, then Makes Me Wonder. Then a few more songs which i'm quite ashamed to admit i dont know the titles, Sunday Morning, Won't Go Home Without You and This Love, wrapped up by Wake Up Call and She Will Be Loved.
When they started playing Won't Go Home Without You ah, I really really went crazy. They are really that good live, so much so that I don't think listening to the CD does them justice. They are without a doubt one of the best bands to watch live. Lots of working adults and angmohs went, i really have never seen so many angmohs gathered in one place in Singapore before, all the adults and teenagers and kids.
I don't think i'm gonna forget this experience, probably will be etched into my memory forever.
Maroon 5 really, really fucking rocks.

I haven't been blogging for a long, long time, haven't I? I'm just no good at keeping diaries at all. Oh well.
I've been feeling rather bad lately. Sometimes I wish I could keep track of ALL my friends' lives. Is it inevitable that as time goes by, people drift apart? I don't think so. I think it's up to us to bother to keep track of the lives of our friends. They only way I know how? Reading blogs. But not everyone has blogs. And not everyone who has one updates every day. Hehe.
And I think I haven't been bothering for a long, long time.
So many people I haven't spoken to for quite a while already.
So, I'm sorry people, I shall do my best to keep better track of your lives.

I was looking through some of the photos i have in the com right now and I think it's pretty amazing that it's been so many years since we've graduated from secondary school. Okay, it's been only 3 years, but all those memories seem like they were yesterday. I can still clearly remember where we sat in class, the havoc we wreaked during A Maths class, how pissed Mrs Lim would get at Darren and I...
Another thing that's struck me is how much we've grown. From immature, playful classmates, we've grown into young adults who's thinking and views have changed. It's quite heartwarming that we still meet up so often. I think it's really wonderful. I look forward to seeing all those familiar faces, talking rubbish or discussing serious stuff. (though i'm quite sure we feel that no one's changed at all since we know each other pretty well)
One good example would be the kembangan football people. We've been playing regularly since what, sec 4? We've moved from kembangan to aljunied and even to serangoon once. But we still make an effort to meet every week, and it's something i really look forward to at the end of every week. Same goes for those gatherings we always plan with the class. I'm quite happy that so far most 4f gatherings usually have about 20 people or more, thereabouts. It's good. It makes me happy, and everyone seems to enjoy themselves during these gatherings.
I never realized how much we've all missed being in the same class and the same school, i've always thought it was just me.
I know i used to say i really hated my secondary school but well, i guess i was wrong. I love it because if it wasn't for manjusri, i wouldn't have met all these people that i would probably trade my life for in an instant.

Apologies for the long absence, i've not been feeling well lately, so i've neglected the blog a bit.
Much things to tell. A few weeks ago there was a 4F gathering (okay sort of), made up of most of the guys and most of the 2f girls. At raymond's house, quite fun. Bbq was quite a last minute decision as well, ivan suddenly thought of it one day after me him ray and darren went to watch movie (or was it play lan?) Anyway, I must say that the bbq was superbly done by ivan, darren and raymond. After the bbq we went up to raymond's house. Again, we searched thru ray's comp to find his porn stash (and of course, we found it. LOL)
Then the following saturday after the week we had the bbq, was meihui's birthday celebration. We went for dinner at Billy Bombers at Heeren, it was very filling, though i think the rack of lamb wasn't as good as wengchi said. Plenty of photos taken,after that we went drinking at the Kandi Bar. I swore at the beginning there were at least 3 people who said they weren't drinking, end up everyone drank.
Opened up a bottle of Macallan, bout 17 pple share, each person only got like 1 or 2 glasses. Sian.
And after that, apparently I've been having one late night too many, so I am currently sick. I felt terrible last week, could barely get any sleep. Doctor said something was wrong with my nose, which almost led to a throat infection and i had loads of phlegm stuck in my throat that refused to be coughed out.
2nd week on medication already, i'm popping 5 pills one serving, so a total of 15 pills a day. lol. How wonderful.
Chalet soon, looking very forward to it.
I hope i really get well soon, been coughing like some old man.

I realize there's a lot of things i don't tell my mum.
A lot of stuff she says... some of her ideologies are quite flawed. I also realize there's quite a lot i don't know about my siblings as well. As in, i have no clue what's going on in their personal life. I don't pry, but shouldn't older siblings usually know what's going on in the lives of their younger siblings?
Okay, allow me to illustrate one of my mum's hilarious ideas.
According to her, the reason why kids find boyfriends/girlfriends during their teenage years is because their parents don't love them enough, don't give them enough attention. That's why they want to find someone who does that. While it may not be too far off from the truth, she fails to realize that this is a phase all kids go through when growing up. It's a phase, and it helps you grow. I mean, so what if she came from a conservative family where relationships were off-limits? Times change.
Parents should stop making kids live out their lives the way the parents always wanted to but couldn't.
