It's only 2-day old. (:

My first instrument, an electric guitar.
Well, not exactly my first though.
I remembered having an organ (music) or something before, other than a recorder lah.
My Sis and I have also tried the harmonica even!
We were crazy over music then I think. Haha.
She really loves music and art.
I'm second. (:

Since she sold the last instrument she had, an acoustic/classical guitar, I had to get my own to keep me company when I'm free at home.
It has been raining so it's just me and my guitar now at home on a lazy Sunday. (:
My fingers are feeling it now, the pain on the tips. Haha.

I think I'm feeling a lil' bit better then yesterday.
I keep having headaches and it's constant one, for days already.
Now that I'm feeling better, I'm craving for chocolates, any kind!
I'm resisting my temptations real bad cos I can't be eating those yet. Hur.

And now, the one and only TV at home is spoiled. Great.
No telly for us till I-don't-know when! How sad! ):
Oh wells, maybe it's time to pay for a new set. Bahhh.

I'm hungry again.
This has been constant too for today.
I think my appetite is back, bit by bit. (:
Yays for now.

I really hope I get well soon...

P.S. My guitar needs a name...

The weather is crazy. Hot and cold, mostly hot.
I'm glad that moolahs are in. I was living with single digit. Ha.
But I'm still not well. Crap...
I'll be seeing the Co. doctor on Wednesday to check anyways.
I really miss cycling, one activity which I intended to do monthly. ):
Anyways, will be laying my hands on a new toy soon, I hope. (:
That's something to accompany and cheer this sickly soul here up.

I left my HDD in office with pics and songs. Bahhh.
I've taken leave for yesterday till Monday, and still have no concrete plans.
I wanna go out but I know my head will kill me soon after.
Not exactly killing kill, it's just not good.
I had just done area-cleaning for Happy boy, and done mine last night.
Everyday since last Monday I have been twittering about my 'sickness'. Hur.
Cos I really was and am feeling unwell from time to time.
Not exactly the best time to be unwell since it's my first leave taken for this year!

There seems to be more and more good bands coming to S'pore.
The moolah is the biggie. Problem.
I'm still hoping that I can go to the...

SINGAPORE ARTS FESTIVAL 2009
Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy
Asian Premiere
(USA/Singapore)

...which was sold out long ago. But I'm still hoping to get the tix.
At least for just that one more concert for the year or so.

It's was very warm a while ago.
Now, the rain is going to fall.
Not good, when we're waiting for a cooler hour but it's gonna be a wet one.

I think writing many one-liner is fun.
So much for killing time till I can get out there.

Have a lovely weekend everyone for now. (:

http://picasaweb.google.com/ahger27


Yeaps, I've tried my best once again on those overdue photos.
I still have 2 more sets of photos from the other 2 photogs for the day at Hort Park.
I don't think I'll be uploading those unless I have the time to and anyway, it's like overloading pictures of flowers and more flowers!
The sun was out that afternoon and we all managed some pretty good shots.
I'm too lazy to caption all of the above.
Let's just say we all had a good time, walking, talking, sweating, laughing, etc. (:

The music fest was all good, drowned myself in the songs they played.
It was my first time attending MOSAIC though they've been around for a few years now.
It's an annual 10-day-ish event.
I shall wait for next years if I don't miss the date that is. (:

I can't wait for my long weekend to arrive this Friday till next Monday.
Although I don't really have a concrete plan on how to spend it, I'm just beaming for that much needed break that I deserve out of the 18 days of AL.
My Sis is asking me to join her at Fitness First for a gym session next Monday. Haha.
I'll go if I have no plans and shall celebrate her birthday as well.
She came home just now. (:

Anyway, I've napped in the afternoon after I came home from 1-ish to 5-ish.
I feel the pain on those nodes on my neck even more each time I woke up.
I can't really turn my head although the pain is not very very painful kind of pain, but it'll hurt and that feeling is not good. ):

I guess I have suppressed myself from falling ill too much that my lymphatic system cannot take it anymore and become inflamed. Sigh.
I only can hope that it goes away after medications.
I'll be seeing the doctor again next week.
I just hope that it's not too serious and gonna have to bear with the pain for a while now. ):
Oh, how I dread being ill, the meds, the pain...

NEXT UP, would be pictures from COLDPLAY Concert!
And it won't be until I have the time to select the clearer ones out.
I felt so close to them and I just can't get enough.
As long as you've made it there to watch, you didn't lose out on anything I say. (:

Goodnight for now!


@ 11:54 PM




It has been a week++ since my last update.
I've been wanting to but was either too busy with work and going out for events or just too tired by the time I get back home.
The past week was one hectic one I think.

Monday - Dinner
Tuesday - Running
Wednesday - Dinner with Josel
Thursday Dinner + MOSAIC Music Festival (Day 7)
Friday - Guitar shops + Dinner @ New York New York with teammates
Saturday - Slept most of the time and out for a while
Sunday - Temple + Dinner + MOSAIC Music Festival (Last day)

The performance I caught were all quite good.
First was by The Goodfellas, and I didn't even know they were performing until I was told!
They still put up a good performance although one member was away.
On the last day of the music festival, we've caught The Condors Band (Jap) + Andre Harihandoyo and Sonic People (Indon) and they were pretty good as well since I've never heard of them, and now I know. Hehe.
I'll definitely look out for MOSAIC event again next year. (:
I love bands who really enjoy themselves while putting up a show, and of cos a good one.

AND, COLDPLAY Viva La Vida Tour last night was AWFULLY AWESOME !!!
I took like 500+ pics (some of another band), and a few long videos of them!
My camera when flat and out of memory just when they came back up for an encore of the song I've been waiting for! BAHHHHHH!
Anyway, it's all between the ears, all's good, great. (:
I have accumulated so many photos over a week of events that I've been to, I don't even know where to start and it's gonna be quite a chore to collage them and post!

I'll take my time.
I've been feeling unwell since Saturday night.
My lymph nodes are swollen for some reason on the left side of my neck.
I've been to the company's doctor yesterday.
I went back to work and took MC for today and came home in the afternoon to rest.
If I knew the work that needs my attention to won't be in today, I really won't have forced myself to go to work cos I'm feeling much pain. Sigh.
I hope it's nothing serious and one of my bosses is scaring me.
Not helping. Haha. Oh wells...

Yes, I'll take my time.
I've had a hectic week.
I need to slow down.
And maybe go M.I.A.?
Haha.

I need my holidays.
Fly/sail away.
Ancient place.
Lazy place.
Perhaps.

Dinner at Whisk Cafe Lounge with Laopos, 14th March (:


It's a slow Sunday and I didn't manage to wake up as early as I would like to.
Anyways, I did my Sunday run and took 20 minutes to complete 3.5km.
I seldom bother to run this fast but I decided to this time round. Ha.
Maybe I'm feeling the guilt from eating too much and not exercising. Lol.

I'm a little too lazy to collage those 300+ pics I have from yesterday man.
I'll do it when I'm free-er, though I'm pretty free right now. Haha.
I feel like I'm stuck at home and I'm glad that the thunderstorm is out for now.
I'll be heading out to get something in town, and maybe catch a movie or something.

This month is looooooonnnnnnng, with 31 days.
It's another pretty broke month with bills to foot and necessities to buy.
Everything I'm using is running out!
BAHHHHHHHHHH.

My humble income is not enough to have much to save every month.
What will happen should there be a pay cut? I don't know man.
I have already cut down on a lot of unnecessary expenses.
Guess this is what happens when you get no more allowances from parents.
I shall tahan! I'll be independent! (:

And I lost my favourite black cap that I got from Agnes b. and was damn sad!
So I managed to find them with 2 left in their storeroom.
I'm happier to find the same one, but it's just not the same.
I have attachments toward most of the stuff I own, that's why.
Oh wells. It's a pity and I gotta waste my money just like that in a long time.
I shan't complain. (:

Somebody's actions/words are kinda getting on my nerves.
I'm damn good alone man and I don't need someone as shallow as you to think that having to own a car can do miracles man.
I speak of feelings, not dollars/even cheesy pickup lines.
I rather be taking public transport or pay you to take your car.
Sheesh.

Anyways, I have better things to occupy my mind then be bothered.
And for now, I seriously need to list out a to-do list for all those little little things which needs my attention, like literally.
I better go prepare to head out before the sky turns dark again.
I wish my Sundays can do better then this. LOL.
I'll figure something out. (:

Mich & CJ's Wedding Dinner @ Inter-Continental Hotel, 7th March.



@ 10:45 PM


Wednesday, March 11, 2009

I've been keeping myself real busy at work, with work of cos.
I like it when I get the momentum all set for work cos only then I feel super productive.
Work is all good, busy, but I have no complains.
At times like this, I embrace the busy-ness.
It makes me feel more practical then letting the time passes me by meaninglessly.
Cheers to work! (:

On the other hand, ah ger is feeling jaded outta the 70% of time spent working.
I haven't been sleeping enough, or even well. (And I'm still not sleeping YET. BAHHH.)
I guess I'm just trying to find an outlet/me-time at random hours like this.
Even that, I'm still surviving okay I guess.

I've skipped Sunday run, and even Tuesday's (yesterday).
I need to start exercising more regularly again or my immune system will slack.
I miss my monthly cycling session and it shall be on my agenda this/next week.

Anyways, am finding myself at a crossroad again in my head.
I guess it's nothing out of the ordinary cos it happens so often and to everyone.
It happens when you're/have walked out of one path and trying to find a new one.
I feel like I'm at a loss, I don't know where to go.
I'm afraid of all the uncertainties cos I'm not even sure where I'm/might go myself.
The last thing I wish is to make another fall/mistake/whatever that's gonna suck.
Then again, I don't even have a clue myself and I wish I have.

It's not that I'm afraid to make mistakes cos I know I'll learn eventually, fast or slow.
But knowing how I might regret at the end of the day is what I wish to avoid.
And after saying so much, I feel like everything will fall back to square one.
I just get that feeling I don't know why, or I choose not to know why unconsciously maybe?
It's not always bright and clear, my vision gets blurred once in a while and I can't see.

I think I'm ranting off track, and round and round.
Prolly only my buddy knows what I'm talking about (if our telepathy still works).
I don't know. Yea. I DON'T KNOW.

I wish I can be more selfish at many a time.
I wish I can just lose myself and care less.
I wish I can worry about nothing and enjoy life/youth in any ways.
Sometimes.
Just a thought, or maybe.

Now, I feel like deleting all that I've ranted.
It makes me feel so lame, again I don't know why.
They be eating my brain cells if I just ignore.
Maybe that's why people say ignorance is bliss.
I choose not to ignore and I can't ignore lah.
Oh wells. Haha.

Yes, yes, I won't worry my life away man.

I will find a way.
I might fall.
But I will get up, ultimately.
It all can't be help and also can't be so bad all the time.
I know.

Now, I sound like I'm trying a bit hard to convince myself.
But hell yeah, I've gotta do what I've gotta do.
This will pass.

Goodnight world/universe now.
Thanks for hanging around for my rant.

The things we do after lunch @ work instead of taking a short nap...

It's Guitar Hero World Touring! Woot!

I work better with the guitar than drums lah.
But I like to play the drums too. Lol.
If only, if only I have a PS3/X360. Haha.

Good-Monday-night!
Hello Tuesday in less than half an hour! :)

The wedding dinner I had yesterday was alright.
Maybe I've been to quite a few already and it all seems pretty much the same, maybe with a few new gist here and there like special door gifts/presentation. Yup.
Overall, it was just another dinner , the 2nd one which I didn't drink much. Haha.
F&N Orange FTW. LOL.

And I wore my purple dress, something different from the usual, body-hugging ones. :)

That was before I headed out, and late again, for dinner. Haha.
I was late cos I spent time taking pictures and gotta take a cab down. HUR.
But I decided to clip my fringe up in the end, so I'll update with more pics taken at dinner when I get them from other cameras first. Yeaps.

I've slept for almost 12 hours and didn't plan to go for my usual Sunday run.
I'm feeling real lazy of late. Oh wells.
I was feeling sick-ish through the week though so I've bought some Vitamin C tabs and popped a few panadols when the weather ain't of any help either. Hur.

Now, Sunday seems short again.
How will another Sunday end...
Oh wells.

Enjoy it while it last. (:

Here's the update of photos we took at Jason Mraz's oh-so-awesome/great/best concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium last Thurdays night. (:

Before the concert starts, we all want a pic when the lights are still on.

I love J.Mraz! Haha.

All ready for the awesome concert. (:

He's a very good and impressive singer-songwriter-musician.
The performance that night? Simply AWESOME!

"OH MY GOD JASON MRAZ WAS FUCKING AWWWWESSSOMMMMEEEE! im sooooo glad i got the most expensive seat. he's super talented and natural when he sings, fansextic when he does live and HE IS OH SO CHARMING WOO! absolutely NO voice-breakings AT ALL. THUMBS ALL UP!! :)"
- Quoted from Clara

Need I say more? (:
That girl got the most expensive tix lah. Best.

All the photos taken with my T100 can be viewed at:
http://picasaweb.google.com/ahger27/050309JASONMRAZConcert#
And I have 2 videos of "You and I Both" and "A Beautiful Mess" but I can't upload them.
The pics aren't very clear but it's good enough for me. (:

And we have our second team dinner/outing+movie yesterday after work. (:
We caught My Bloody Valentine 3D at The Cathay after dinner.
It's all 3D, yes, bloody and 3D. What the hell. Haha.

It was mini dinner and beer at Paulaner Brauhaus, Millenia Walk, with 2 other colleagues.

The team at dinner and in the cinema with that 3D specs.


It was another good team outing. (:

And for now, I should get going with the preparation for tonight's dinner.
It's another rainy day and I hope it won't be too heavy later.
I'm feeling so lazy to get out. Haha. Oh wells.

It's an eventful week I must say.
I need my me-time!


@ 4:03 PM




We've bought concert tix to OASIS Live in Singapor ! WOOT!
It's free standing one. Haha.

I guess I'll be lazing around at home and be out for a wedding dinner in the evening at Inter-Cont Hotel at Bugis Junction.
My tummy is throwing tantrums again, feeling weird. Hur.

I'm actually up to check for the ticket sales, and my tummy helped to wake me up too. Bahhh.
Good early Saturday morning!

JASON MRAZ WAS AWESOME-O !


I'll update with more photos(blur ones) when I'm free. :)
The concert was great, best.
And it was my first-time going for a concert. Woot!
I'm mesmerized by his live performance, way better than his recordings I think.

And I love it when he sang this last night...

Hey Mr. Curiosity
Is it true what they've been saying about you
Are you killing me?
You took care of the cat already
And for those who think it's heavy
Is it the truth
Or is it only gossip
Call it mystery or anything
Just as long as you'd call me
I sent the message on did you get it when I left it
See this catastrophic event
It wasn't meant to mean no harm
But to think there's nothing wrong is a problem

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
Love is a mystery
Mr. Curious...

Come back to me
Mr. waiting ever patient can't you see
That I'm the same the way you left me
In a hurry to spell check me
And I'm underlined already in envy green
And pencil red
And I've forgotten what you've said
Will you stop working for the dead and return
Mr. Curious well I need some inspiration
It's my birthday and I cannot find no cause for celebration
The scenario is grave but I'll be braver when you save me
From this situation laden with hearsay

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
And love is a mystery
Mr. Curiosity
Be Mr. Please
Do come and find me, oh
Find, find me, find me

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
Trying not to ask why
Cause love is a mystery
Mr. Curiosity
Be Mr. Please
Do come and find me

Love is blinding when the timing's never right
Oh who am I to beg for difference
Finding love in just an instant
Well I dont mind, at least I've tried
And I tried, I tried...

Mr. Curiosity - Jason Mraz


I totally drowned myself in it.
And of cos, in many of my other favourites too.
I'm glad that I was there. (:

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.


A personality quiz:
http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Since I have some time, so I took it.
I used to do this a lot back in secondary school days.
I've started my first blog like, way back when I was in lower secondary?
Yea, just some of the random things I do with internet at that time. Ha.
Both my laopos have done this quiz thingy, so why not, just to kill some time.

Maybe I can find a few more interesting one to do.
The generated answers do reflect some truths. Hehe.
They're for me to know and for you to find out how much they telly. Lol.
Try them yourself for some findings. :)
