Saturday Night Partying

2005-12-20T22:34:00.000+08:00

Saturday (17th of Dec):

Reggie has invited me to his 19th birthday party at Grilla resto-bar around rockwell. I was so psyched about it cuz it would be my first party this month. First party cuz my friends (who are now in university) were having their finals. Reggie told me that the party starts at 8pm.
So there was I, arrived at Grilla at exactly 8:00 pm. Of course I was on time cuz I've learnt a lot of lessons in Singapore, and my friends in Singapore kept on nagging me whenever I was late. So, I tried my best to be punctual, and I succeeded! Well, nothing to be joyful about. When I arrived, only the birthday celebrant and his girlfriend were around! He was shocked to see me very early! (In the Philippines, being on time means being early). He had to prepare for the party so he left me with his girlfriend to chat. After 30 mins, 3 guys arrived whom I havent met before. They were Reggie's friends in his University. My friends here in the Philippines have scattered because they went to different universities. So I continued chatting with the celebrant's girlfriend for 30 mins more. At around 9:00 pm, people started to fill the place up. Reggie had rented the whole of the first floor of Grilla and there was a buffet! I asked him why he didnt rent the 2nd floor instead, and he said that someone already rented it and someone even rented the parking lot and filled it with tables! There were literally 3 parties in one place! One by one, my friends came. They didnt know that I was back because I didnt contacted them when I returned. I felt that I had to settle my family and relative matters first, so that I wont be distracted by my friends and complicate the schedule, and at the same time I didnt want to disturb them with their finals. So when my friends saw me in the party, they were surprised and very excited! We gave each other a combination of handshake and a kind of high-five. My friends were like "Hey! When did you come back?? Why the hell you didnt call me!". All my friends said almost the same thing, and I had to repeatedly explain to them one by one my reason. I explained when we were eating the buffet, and at the same time, we were drinking this Philippine-made cocktail called Weng-Weng. Its pink in colour and tastes a bit sweet with a little hint of sourness. I liked it and I drank half the pitcher! It didnt hit me cuz the alcohol content is less than beer. There were several tables. One filled with Girls from Poveda, another filled with girls from ICA, one filled with guys and girls from different schools, and ours filled with guys from Xavier. There's this close friend of mine named Paul Tuazon. He's half Spanish, half american, half filipino, half chinese. Man, thats insane! What kind of a person if half everything?! But anyway, he's a hearthrob, and a moron! He loves to fool around with girls, and the wierd part is, girls also love him! Something's wrong there. But anyway, he's still my friend. We talked about my life in Singapore and he kept on asking hows my sex life, do i have a girl there, do I fool around a lot there, and stuffs like that. And then the birthday celebrant came to our table, holding a glass of ice tea saying "Hey guys, if you want anything, just order it. Everything's on me! Even the drinks!". And thats when the real party started! The first drink that i ordered was an Arctic Strawberry Vodka on the rocks. On the rocks means that its served in a low glass with ice. Paul recommended me that drink cuz I told him that I know very little about alcohols. Of course I liked it and got 2 more after finishing that glass! I still wasnt tipsy at that time cuz I was eating my food at the same time. If i eat while Im drinking, the alcohol wont hit that hard. And then, slowly, our table had lesser guys and more girls. My friends, including Paul, were going around the 1st floor like a butterfly, flirting and chatting with girls. He's very popular. Almost all the girls there knows him and he knows them too! I really envy him. So there I was, sitting on our table, chatting to my friends that got left behind. And then Paul noticed that I was getting bored, so he asked me to follow him and he started introducing me to all the girls he know! He was like "Pat, I'd like you to meet an important friend who studies in Singapore. Pat this is Jonas, and Jonas, this is Pat." Most of the time, I'd only receive Hi's and chat abit and then byes. And they will go to their own friends. But Paul didnt give up, neither did I, so we continued hovering around meeting new girls. I met more or less 10 girls and they were all very gorgeous! Oh my God, its been a long time since I've seen hot chicks! Most of them are half spanish, some are half american, some are even half Italian! And then I got hooked up with a girl. She's not as pretty as the others, but at least she's talkative. But by that time, I've drunk a 2 Goldslaggers on the rocks, 1 Scotch black on the rocks, and a bottle of San Miguel Light beer. I purposely ordered the expensive drinks cuz I know that the was one of the only time I'd get to drink expensive drinks for free! But everytime I order, I'd make sure that Reggie knows to pay respect for him. So I was very tipsy by that. Almost on the brink of getting drunk. But I could still stand properly, walk almost properly, and talk almost properly. And yeah, I chatted with this girl that Paul Introduced. Her name is Pat and we chatted for a long time. Well, it wasnt that long, but longer than the other girls. We were talking on the top of our voices because the music was very loud! She knew that I was already tipsy. I asked her what school is she from. And then after a while, I asked her again and she said "Didnt you asked that already?" Then I'd say "Oh yeah, hehe, I'm sorry cuz Im a bit tipsy.". Then I told her that a bottle of beer in Singapore is S$12, which is about 500 pesos, and here in the Philippines costs me only 40 pesos, which is only S$1.50! She was shocked, but i told her that twice, and of course, she wasnt shocked anymore on the second time. She decided to give me a glass of water because she knew that I was already tipsy. After that, She had to go so we ended our conversation, but before she left, I asked for her number. And then after that, I continued hanging out with the other girls that I just met. There was this american girl asked me "Are you stoned?". I thought to myself, what the hell is "stoned?". So I just replied with a simple no. Then I talked to another girl cuz I've just realized that I just ended our converstion with a simple no! Damn, bad move there! I should have asked her what "stoned" means. But I learnt from my mistakes and I got better in socializing. I chatted with several girls, but all of them are with their other friends, so I couldnt just ask for their number. At around 1 am, Reggie's rental of the 1st floor was over, and so was the party. Most of the people there left after that because they have their own cars. Well, the consequence for driving your own car is you're not allowed to get tipsy. But I planned to get tipsy, probably even get drunk. So I just called my dad and asked him to pick me up. After around 20 mins, my dad arrived. Not only him, but including my mom, my sisters, my brother, and my cousins! They saw me tipsy and it was ok with my parents! They even asked me what liquors did I drank! And then when they saw me with my unstable stance, they just laughed and my cousins were teasing me. We went to a pizza house and ate pizza. After that we went home and I slept very very well!
All of this partying is just fooling around and nothing serious about it. We filipinos love to fool around and enjoy life! This is another chapter of my life, since the previous chapter in Singapore ended sadly, but gave me lots of very good memories. As this chapter starts, I will never forget the memories from the previous chapter.

Without You

2005-12-12T18:33:00.000+08:00

Without You by Charlie Wilson

It feels like a lifetime, a thousand days have passed by

Since I held you close to me

If I could see that smile from my friend

I know that I could live again

I need you here with me

Heaven knows what to say

Even though for right now you’re so far away

I hope and I pray

Somewhere in your heart I’ll always stay

Girl, lately my sun doesn’t shine without you

Never noticed what it feels like to be without you

Feels like I took my last step and my last breath in my life ending

Had to say just what I was feeling, girl

‘Cause my sun doesn’t shine, sun doesn’t shine without you

This is more for me than for you

Girl, I finally see there’s no substitute

For what we have

Do you know how much I love you

Heaven knows what to say

Even though for right now you’re so far away

Gonna tell you and show you

Do whatever I can do to get back to you

Girl, lately my sun doesn’t shine without you

Never noticed what it feels like to be without you

Feels like I took my last step and my last breath in my life ending

Had to say just what I was feeling, girl

‘Cause my sun doesn’t shine, sun doesn’t shine

without you

A Fun and Amazing Week

2005-12-10T10:41:00.000+08:00

It has been more than a week since i left and as soon as i arrived, i was very busy. The first thing that i did was to unpack and arrange all our stuffs! We have a lot of stuffs from spore and it was very tiring! It took us 2.5 days before we could arrange everything! From furnitures to appliances to cloths! It was very chaotic! And then few days later, we went to Lago de Oro, Batangas to go wakeboarding. It was a 3 hr ride from my house in Manila. My ride was great! i learnt a new trick! i can do a power slide! It looks complicated but its very simple and its a cool move! And then the next day, my dad brought us to learn golf. He hired a professional coach and taught us. It was quite difficult but the coach said that i am the fastest student who learned. Probably because of my tennis skills. My dad said that most of tennis players can easily learn golf because the twisting of the body and the arm swings are almost similar. among the 5 of us (me, my bro, 2 sis, and my mom), i was the fastest learner. I find it fun, but not as fun as wakeboarding.. Its fun especially when u hit the sweet spot and my ball will fly very high and very far! But it doesnt pump my adrenaline, so i dont find it super fun.. For me, an activity that is fun for me should be able to pump my adrenal glands and secrete adrenaline! I read in the bio textbook that continual secretion of adrenaline hormones can lead to heart problems in the future.. But i dont care! as long as im having fun, i'll just say "The heck with the future! Everyone dies anyway!" haha! Ok, enough of this bullshit! My hands are full of blisters now.. On the palm is from wakeboarding and on my fingers is golf. Its extremely painful! But i dont care!
Yesterday, we went to Lago de Oro again to wakeboard.. But this time, my dad asked me to drive. He said that he wanted me to learn how to drive in expressways and highways. Just by hearing the word expressway scared me! But anyway, i have the guts so i did it. I drove for an average speed of 90 kmh for 3 hours non stop! It was not so difficult because i didnt have to squeez the car in between traffics. The highways had no traffic, so attention and alertness is a must because anything can happen in 1 second of day dreaming! So we arrived at lago de oro and i met this familiar looking pro korean wakeboarder. He saw my sticker on my board that says "2005 HSBC Wakeboard competition Singapore". And he pointed at it and said that he competed there. Thats why he's familiar! And yesterday i focused more on my jumps. I used the ramps often until my fins got wore out! My fins!!!! But anyways, as long as i learn, i dont care if my board wrecks. Oh and the Philip Solven (Champion in the HSBC competition in 2004 and 2005) is fading! I dont know what to do with it anymore! Damn! We wakeboarded for 6 hrs with an hour break every 3 hrs! Thats extensive, but its very cheap! I think its only S$50 per person for 6 hrs! After i wakeboarded, we went home late at night cuz we hanged out at my cousin's place in tagaytay highlands. My cousin has a house there and its a 2 hr ride from my house. It was very cold and foggy, but my dad said that Canada is 10 times colder there! Oh my God! I'll freeze to death! On our way home, my dad brought us to a pub and i drank San Miguel Light (my Favourite beer) with him, my bro and my cousin. Man, i really missed San Miguel! And then we went home. I told my dad that i couldnt drive anymore cuz i was really tired so he drove! Imagine, 6 hrs of wakeboarding! When we arrived home, i fell flat on my bed. Didnt even bothered to brush my teeth of take a bath! haha!
I havent gone out with my friends here though cuz they are very busy with there university life. They are having there finals next week so i didnt disturb them. For the mean time, i'll just hang out with my relatives and go wakeboarding or train golf.. I wanted to train for tennis again, but my racket is still on the way here! (It was shipped from spore).
Oh yeah, there was a 3 day straight shopping spree! We would leave the house in the morning and go went back home ar 10 pm! We literally shopped till i dropped! We bought everything, pants, jackets, underwears, socks, tshirt, jogging pants, long sleeves shirt, shoes! Everything is for Canada! I have lots of very thick jackets now! Oh my God! i wonder if i'll ever use it. Then i bought an original addidas soccer shoes for walking (the one without spikes) for only S$40! Its very cheap because were having a Christmas sale. The shoes are red in colour and its very difficult to match it with my shirt. But i like it anyway.
Oh and the week that i arrived in the Philippines, i very good thing happened to me. Sharon emailed me from taiwan! It was her first time sending me a simple message since 2 yrs ago! When i read it, i wanted to shout for joy and jump around my room! Just imagine, a simple message can make my day. What more if its a long and sincere message! Oh my God, i'll get a heart attack!
Well, this week is fun and tiring. I wonder what surprises lie ahead of my days here.

Sorrowful Farewell

2005-12-06T23:58:00.000+08:00

Wednesday (30th of Nov):

Early morning, still dawn, my dad woke me up to do some last minute checks on iour luggages. The day came. The day that i had to leave Singapore and fly back to Philippines, and not going back to Singapore for a very long time. So i checked everything, from my room, to my toilet, to the living room. Everythings ok: empty. Then at the last minute before the taxi arrived, i looked back inside, mesmerized by the fact that i wont be seeing the unit anymore.
I arrived at the taxi at around 8.30 am. To my shock, my brother's friends are already there! And as time went by, more of them came! Chin Yong and Jun Jie were the first ones who arrived at 9.00am. Chin Yong was so intrigued by the fact that my brother's friends were populating the place, whereas there was only the 3 of us. So he started calling the others and asked them to hurry up. But to his despair, they were late by an hour! They arrived at 10.00 am! But it was ok with me, cuz i accept it as my karma for being late everytime theres an outing.
By 10.30, we were complete.. there were 16 of us, but it was still a definite lose to my brother because he had around 40 of his friends. But i dont care, as long as my friends were there, no external affairs could interupt my state of mind. I treated them in burger king with the cheapest burger in the menu (Of course there were 16 of them!).
When the clock hit 11.00, my dad started calling me telling me to go back to the departure area cuz he didnt want any delays or problems, so i complied to him. We dashed back to the area and regrouped there. My mom was recording us over our handycam and i introduced each and everyone of them to the cam, including there nicknames and etc. And then my friends started giving me the gifts. I could still hold back my tears back then cuz i dont usually cry infront of many people. But i was in the brink of crying, just a little bit more and i couldnt take it anymore. I held this ball the class gave me as a gift with signatures and messages written on it. It touched me a lot that i bit my lips to prevent myself from sheding tears. And then, Shierly started to say "Do u remember the first time we talked?" And at that point, it reached the edge. The pain crossed my treshold and then i cried a tear. Shierly continued to speak and then i cried a river of tears! I could see my bestfriend's, Kok Chuang, face. It made me even wept more. I couldnt take it anymore, and although i hated people see me cry, i just ignored that fact and sobbed infront of them. Besides, they are my friends and they have the right to see me cry. My dad suddenly called me from behind, telling me to go in the departure area. I quickly hugged anyone i saw, but when i hugged Kok Chuang, i hugged him the tightest and the longest. I didnt want to let him go. But then, i had to cuz i still havent hugged the others. I hugged Shierly and again, i didnt want to let her go. And i hugged netty and Jun Jie and anyone i found. But to my unfortunate, my dad was getting impatient so i didnt get to hug some of them.
While queing in the immigration, I saw them behind the glass door, waving at me. Some had teary eyes and that made me cry even more. Often, i would look back and waive at them looking at there faces for the last time. It was so hurtful and it filled my heart with sorrows and despairs. And then, i boarded the plane with sadness in my heart.

Prom: A Night to Remember

2005-12-01T15:27:00.000+08:00

Friday (25th of Nov):

The night which all of us has been waiting for. The night where all of us had planned, prepared and executed. The reason on why i painstakingly starved myself, overcoming several temptations and lost 3kg! The night which everyone would remember... Our very own, class prom.

But before the night itself, we (the prom committee) had planned everything, from top to bottom, from activities, to attires, to food and drinks. Part of the presentation was the band: Audition Rejects. We practised at Victor's house, and I'd like to give Victor my big appreciation for being the accomodation of our jamming practice. For 3 days before the prom, me, joel, shierly and don went to Vic's house to practice. We'd practice for at least 6 hours a day! At first, everything was terribly messy. There was no coordination among the instrumentalists, and we didnt know where to start. Daniel had no idea about bass guitar so we were like in grade 1! We decided to play barbie girl (punk version) first cuz it'll be our first song for our performance. I thought it was easy since the song was less than 2 mins, but i was wrong! The song was just less than 2 mins because it was very fast! My tempo and joel's tempo couldnt coordinate. I was too fast but trying to slow down, but he was normal, but trying to increase the tempo, in the end, our tempo really couldnt meet. So what i did was to tell joel to maintain his normal tempo and let me adjust to him. We managed to fix our tempo on day 2, but at the same time, we were about to complete Leaving on a jet plane (punk version). And was starting on Ultimate. Everything went as schedule and not much pressure was in us. But it wasnt the pressure, sure we had sufficient time, but the work is just a lot! 3 songs may sound easy but learning how to play it in a band is like hell! There was always this time where at least one of us would make a mistake and the standard proceedure was to repeat that part, but since we were fed up already, we would just ignore it and carry on. Shierly had no mic during our practice so she would shout/sing on the top of her lungs just so the instrumentalists could here her voice and know where we were. Some point in day 2, she strained her voice. As a result, the instrumentalists would sing along as well so that none of us would get lost.
Other than the band, i still needed to manage a lot of things. I volunteered myself to check on the hotel with Natalia cuz i wanna learn more stuffs. Before the band practice, i met natalia on one of the 3 days and checked the hotel out again. We asked the person in charge of the ballroom questions and inquired about the sound and light systems. And then, we were informed that they wouldn't provide any light system so as soon as the both of us finished with the hotel, we immediately went to Lucky Plaza to search for a shop that sells disco lights. We found one but the stuffs there are too expensive. Furthermore, if we'd buy those stuffs, we would only use it once and it wont be worth it. In the end, we decided to buy just one. The one with the flashy stuff. After that i headed to Vic's house to jam. The hotel management also informed us that only people above 18 can book a hotel room... So here i am again, taking advantage of my beautiful age!
The day came, friday, 25th of Nov. In the morning, we went to Vic's house again to do some last minute reahersals. We polished everything for all the songs and after that, we went straight to Carlton Hotel. Don's parents help in transporting the instruments, but i held on to my guitar because the SUV was full. I entered the hotel with the guitar on my back, and i really felt like a rock star! I was so cool! We booked for the day time room so that we could prepare ourselves. Then, one by one, my classmates came. I went down the ballroom to set up our stuffs and do sound checks t0 blend our sounds properly. When everything was done, I went up to the room to groom myself. Everyone in the room was very busy fixing their hairs, suiting up, and looking at themselves in the mirror! It was so hectic! And then the moment came. I went to the girl's room and fetched my partner. Netty was stunning! She wore a black dress and she was hot! I ushered her to the ballroom and we stayed outside the esplanade room to take pictures. Although hot, we still endured the outdoor temperature because photo taking sessions are always important to our class. After that, we went in and sat on the round tables. Samantha and Victor were the MC's and they entertained us, and then some of the girls made their performance by singing. But my most anticipated part was of course, the band! When the MC's announced that we were the next to perform, i was still eating my sushi! I went up the stage chewing the sushi in my mouth! And then as i was about to plug my amplifier to the electric plug, i realized that i left the adaptor in the room. I told Shierly about it and she said something like: "Er.. this idiot left the adaptor in the room! In the mean time, Netty, Samantha and I are gonna sing a song to you." I dashed to our room and got the stupid adaptor. When i returned, they were still not done singing, so i installed the adaptor and waited for them to finish. When they were done, we positioned our stance on stage and were ready to rock! Joel made his queue and then awesome sounds from our guitars boomed across the room! We sang barbie girl and i was so hyper on stage! After the song, me and joel were reluctant to exit the stage! He was still playing some beats and i was till palm muting my guitar! And then after that, the girls performed again. They sang a chinese song. After them, it was my turn. Joel and I made a number. I played the accoustic guitar and sang Tears in Heaven, while Joel played the drums. For the first try, i sang quite smoothly, but the very low temperature of the room made my fingers stiff. And then, terror came.. My fingers hardened and then i cocked up. I missed a note and then i stopped singing. Joel looked at me puzzled. I said over the mic: "Err.. sorry, take two, NG!" Then everyone laughed! The second try, it was a bit better, but i feel that i still sucked! I was better during practice than in my performance, but i think i messed up because i was nervous. After that, Audition Rejects performed again. Leaving on a jet plane and Ultimate. Again, i was very high on stage and i started jumping around! After the Ultimate, the class requested for an encore, so we performed again! I feel very extatic becuase i really felt that we rocked! And it was my first performance to be very successful!
After the band, the dance floor opened and the boys and girls partnered themselves. We danced several slow songs. I danced with Netty for a while and then we changed partners. I danced with Net, Nat, Gwen, Hsiu Ya, Samantha. I think i missed out someone. After that came the fast song. We set up the flashy light system and the formal ballroom transformed into a nightclub! After that, we watched a video clip made by Wei Rong and it was brilliant! The video clip was so great that some of us cried! After that, we made our way to our room. Nat and I went to 7-11 to buy some alcohol, and headed back. I drank a lot and i got drunk! My weakness when im drunk is that i keep on drinking and drinking till i drop dead! I passed out and slept even though the room was very chaotic.

Falling in Love to Saturday

2005-11-21T20:56:00.000+08:00

Saturday (Nov 19):

One of my most anticipated days after O's. Before i went out, i groomed as best as i could, fixed my hair to the smallest detail, cementing my stray hairs. I was well shaved, smelt the smell of soap, and sprayed with davidoff coolwater.. Not noticing the time.. and then i realized that i was late..... again.. so i quickly dashed to City Hall mrt. Ashley waited for me in there for 30 mins cuz i was late for 30 mins! Damn i hate myself! I couldn't manage my time properly. When i saw her, she looked gorgeous! She even gave me a Christmas gift, and i feel like an asshole.. I was late, and i didnt have anything for her! Then we went to esplanade to find a cafe or a restaurant, but couldnt find any.. So we went further and reached the merlion statue and fullerton and still couldnt find any descent and affordable restaurant.. But since fullerton was just infront of us, we decided to check fullerton out, since i havent been there before, and i had planned to eat dessert there in the chocolate buffet. We asked around and found out that the place was fully booked! And so my planned failed and i didnt have any plan B or any back up plan.. Letting me feel more of an asshole! But thanks to Ashley, she knows lots of places on where to eat. She brought me to Holland Village, where there lies a stretch of road full of restaurants. I was mesmerized by the place, but even more mesmerized by the fact that Ashley knows so much! Holland Village is very far from the east and i kept on wondering how she knew all those places! We ate at Crystal Jade Kitchen and ordered Tim Sum. She was the one who took care of our orders cuz i didnt know what food was nice and the waitress was speaking in Chinese! While Ash and the waitress was talking, i could only understand 50% of what they were saying.. And that's how lousy my chinese is!
After that, we went to Orchard Road and planned to go to Hard Rock Cafe. But we changed our minds and went window shopping in Paragon, Takashimaya, etc. I thought Ash was going to meet her friends at around 9.30, so i contacted netty to go to clarke quay with me. But when Ash asked where I'd go after she leaves, i told her about me and netty, and to my surprise, Ash wanted to go either! I was so happy that our night didnt end as early as 9.30.
We met netty, samantha and Shu lin in clarke quay, and we decided to go to Attica, just to see what its like inside.. But as soon as we walked towards the door, the macho and tall bouncer confronted us and asked my age. He said while his hands on his waste: "How old are you?". Then I said that i was 18, and he said with a very masculine voice: "You need to be 25 to be able to go in here." They were very strict, and i think it'll be impossible for me to get in even without the girls and even with a beard! So i just said ok, and turned back, a bit of embarrassed.. So we decided to go to Boat quay instead cuz the pubs there are desperate to have customers cuz every pub goers go to clarke quay. We went to this Tikki bar and ordered our drinks. I thought everything's gonna be fine, but the guy there asked for our I.C.. I was worried that the same thing will happen, so i tried to look into the guys eyes, to make a gesture to give us a chance, and since the manager was behind him, i could just tell him to give us a chance. He looked at our I.C.s giving this impression that he was deciding whether to tell the manager or not.. In the end, he let us in. But when the girls went in, he whispered to me: "Err.. actually, 3 of ur friends are below 18". then i whispered while tapping his shoulders: "Can lah, we'll be here for a short time only. We'll leave soon." Then he beckond that everything's ok and it was cool. So i thank him like he was my friend.
So we got in.. I ordered a pine of tiger beer (since there was no other beers available for pines) and the girls ordered cocktails.. The music was loud.. The same amplitude that i was hoping for our class' prom. People were smoking and the place was very small.. But the worse part was that the music sucked! They were playing this old style techno.. the ones like para para sakura and stuffs.. Some Ah Lian girls were dancing like shit! They were very disgusting especially the part when the song says something like "...my shining star..." Then at the same time, those girls would look up and pretend that there was stars above them, shinning brightly! I enjoyed watching them, not because they look good or hot, but because it was so hilarious! Samantha was also hilarious because as the drinks were served, sam tasted it and then broke into a disgusted expression! She quickly brought out her water bottle and drank water to take the taste out! After that, sam couldnt stand the smoke and the music so Ash accompanied her to go out and take a walk. Shulin, netty and i stayed there for a while, and when we've decided to leave, i quickly drank their left overs. and left.. When we arrived at the raffles mrt station, we took photos and Ash and netty's cheeks were red, and i was a bit tipsy, but still could walk properly and still fair-skinned! And then we went home, tired and satisfied. Ash met her friends in city hall mrt. It was a great day! and it was one of the best since prelims era.

Last day in hell

2005-11-21T20:25:00.000+08:00

Finally!!! 'O' level exams are over! And im here busy as hell! So many things happened for the past few days especially since the last day of our Chemistry paper.

Friday (Nov 18):

The chem paper was relatively easy, especially paper 1 which i finish for only 30 mins. Im just hoping that with that speed, my accuracy wont be affected. We ended the paper at aroung 6 pm and i had to go home with haste because Netty has already reserved tables for us in Rice Table in Somerset at 8.. But i was still at home at around 7.00.. So yeah, as usual, i was late again.. typical of me..
Rice table is an indonesian food and Shierly and the indon gang introduced me to the foods! Shierly was teaching me the name of this food with potato.. She said bergerdel, but i'd forget the name within 10 mins. I'll ask her the name again every now and then, but still, i failed to memorize the name.. So what i did was i just pronounced bergerdel as burger-del.. That way i could remember it, even till now!
After we ate, we discussed and solved problems regarding the prom. And then went to Cineleisure to check out some movies. Unfortunately, the cinema was fully booked so we just went bowling somewhere in orchard. I scored very high scores that time and i taught Kok Chuang how to bowl. Then we went home at around 1 am, via taxi with samantha and netty.. We planned to drop samantha and netty first since samantha's house is nearer and netty is sleeping over to sam's house. But, a very hilarious thing happened.. Sam got lost! she couldnt find her own house and we went round and round bedok. The taxi fare kept on topping and topping as we circled the area. Finally, she found her house and i went home. The taxi fare was $23!

Numbered days

2005-10-30T17:49:00.000+08:00

Exactly 31 days left for my departure to Philippines, and i dont understand how i feel. I feel excited, looking forward to go home again, and yet, i have this painful feeling to leave.. Painful that everything's happening all over again, just the same as last time before i left Philippines and took my first step to Singapore's soil. Painful that i'll lose something, something that is very dear to me. That something is friends. My friends here in singapore are one of the most special things in my life. My classmates in sec 3 and 4, the longest classmates i've ever had. I only spent a year for my classmates in the Philippines in my first year high school, but here in singapore, i spent 2 years.
Well, my days are numbered. I packed 3/4 of my stuffs.. My room, the living room, my sisters' room, the master bedroom, all look bare and dull. The cupboards, tables, drawers are all packed in boxes, my wardrobe are reduce to 3/4, my books have no place to sit but on the floor, my precious wakeboard packed in a box, which is which is equipped with a shock proof system (newspapers), able to withstand rough handling during the shipment. I wonder what will happen to this unit once were gone? I wonder what will happen to me once Im gone? Everything is unpredictable, my future is like a deep dark trench which no one is unable to see nor guess what lies beneath.

2 Days of Coolness

2005-10-24T14:20:00.000+08:00

Hey! Its been a while since i posted some words here.. And now, i have tons of things to write, i dont even know where to start! And now, since my thoughts are inorganised, somewhere in the middle of this post, i'll have a mental block and i'll forget everything! Lemme start by recounting the things happened last friday, 21st of October.

Friday:
Hmm.. graduation day.. When i first thought of the word graduation, i thought of grand ceremony with tons of decorations and expensive set ups of tables and chairs, with photographers here and there and teachers dressed like they are attending the oscars award, and parents overly decorated with jewelries, pearls, diamonds, gold, clad in thousand dollar plus dress and suits, and graduating students clothed with sleek suits and shiny leather shoes. But, i guess my imagination was rather excessively vivid. That kind of stuff only happens in the Philippines, and i guess im now in Singapore, my expectations should tone down a big notch, since socialiaty isn't a trend in this place. Nonetheless, i still attended the graduation ceremony. It was not what i expected, but its alright since im now in a different place. After the graduation ceremony, we headed to orchard road to find us (the big battalion of 4E) a restaurant big enough to accomodate us. We hopped from mall to mall, searching for THE restaurant, but unfortunately, we couldnt find any. Every restaurant was packed! Well, its quite inevitable since we were in orchard on friday night! After a decade of scouring, we gave up and decided to order and eat pizza in Natalia's condomenium. We went there by public transpo (unlike last time when we rode a taxi) and when we reached, everyone was very very hungry. The pizza arrived around 20 mins later and we devoured the poor little italian pie! We also ravaged over the pitiful chicken legs.. Those people are barbarous! Well, ok, im guilty, i was one of them, and i ate 5 slices of pizzas and 6 pieces of chicken legs! After that, we took tons of photos and went home exhausted.

Sunday:
The day of the HSBC Wakeboard Worldcup Competition. The venue: Bedok Reservoir... Just across my house!!! Damn im so lucky! At around 12 noon, i went down with my sisters and my dad and my board. While i was strolling down the road towards the reservoir, i carried my board proudly, awared that the passers-by are eyeing at me (well, ok, maybe not at me alone.. both at my board and me! They are not just looking at my board!). My sisters were laughing because almost everyone, including the people in theis cars, were looking at me! I feel so high! When we reached the reservoir, we settled at a spot. My dad circled the place around without us, and when he returned, he carried with him handfuls of freebies from HSBC and oakley- posters and stickers and other stuffs. We stood at a spot that seems like a walk way for the pro-stars to walk in and out of their tent. Suddenly, Jeff Weatherall, 2003, 2005 world champion from New Zealand, walked by. I wasn't sure if it was him because i was used to seeing him from afar, so i softly said "Jeff, Jeff" and when he looked at me, then i was sure that it was really him. I asked him if i could have his autograph and brought my board on top of the railings. He signed it and my sister took pictures of us. 30 mins later, Another wakeboarder walked by. Daniel Watkins, an australian who is the best decorated rider winning tons of awards from competition, was walking towards me wearing his pink board shorts. I called his name, this time confident because I've seen him in the net and wakeboard magazines. Again, he signed my board and took photos. After about an hour, another one came. 16 yr old Philip Solven from america, 1st place in the HSBC Wakeboard worldcup competition in 2004. Again, he signed my board and took pictures. He said "Thats a cool board you have there!" Then i said "Haha, its an old board." Wow! He likes my board! Im so flattered! haha!
We watched the competition from 12 noon to 6 pm.. 6 hours under the unforgiving sun! No wonder the pros looked like barbecued lobsters! Well, me either.. i was turning into one. At the end, they announced the winners of the competition. 1st Place is Philip Solven (Again); 2nd place is Jeff Weatherall; 3rd Place is Dan Knot (British rider).. Unfortunately, Daniel Watkins is in the 4th place because his board cracked after doing a big trick in between the run. He needed to change his board within 3 mins, or else he will be disqualified. He made the 3 mins limit but in the middle of his run, his bindings (boots attached to the board) went loose, and decided to call it off. I was disappointed of course cuz he's one of my favourite riders.
When i went home, my face was red and my arms are now two-toned. My upper arm is white and my lower arm is red. But the torture of the sun was worth it because in return, i had the very rare autographs and pics. Its an unforgettable moment for me.

Freaky Friday

2005-09-24T18:53:00.000+08:00

Last two days ago, I had one of the busiest, funniest, most awesome, happiest, saddest, most depressing, and all of the positive and negative adjectives that i can find in my Oxford Dictionary. I'm gonna recount what had happened to me for the past 2 days.

Thursday (22nd of September)
I already have gotten back most of my prelims result and its very bad. I felt really dissapointed not to my paper, but to myself, because deep down in my heart, i know that its all my fault. Deep down there, i know that i didnt do my best. Deep down there, i know that i didnt give all that i got. I dont know whether to feel good that the prelims are over, or to feel depressed that i got low marks for my prelims. I guess it is just logical to feel very, very bad about it and not to celebrate, but i guess im not a logical person. Yeah, i celebrated like there's no tomorrow for one whole week! Although i passed all the subjects, i still need high and impressive results for me to be accepted in Canada's university. I feel really guilty because my parents had done everything for me to go in the university and all she asks is impressive grades.. Grades, the only thing that i needed to have just to complete the objective.. The only thing that can make my parents happy.. The only thing missing for me to go into university.. The only thing that i needed.. And i couldnt have it. I guess that im destined to fail. Destined to be unsuccessful in life. But that's no fact. After this week of fun, i'll give it all i've got to score as much A's as i could. I'll study day and night if i have to. I know i can do it. Now i have this pull factor, because i fell in the first try.. This is a threat in my life and i wont let it happen again. I guess for everything that i do, i need to go down before i can go up.. As for Newton's 3rd law: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." and in the movie Batman Begins: "Why do we fall? So that we will learn to stand back up again." I hope these two quotations apply to me.

My Preliminary results:
English - C5
Combine Humanities - C5
Elementary Math - A2
Additional Math - C6
Biology - B3
Chemistry - C5
Physics - B4

Im very shocked for my english, cuz i usually get B3's or even A2! Same goes for E. math and A. math cuz i usually get A1's for that! (not that im bragging).

Anyway, enough of this despondent recount. I'll now recall about the fun and happy part..
Thursday.. After school, Daniel, Weirong, Kok Chuang, Hsiu Ya, Samuel and i went to Fair price to purchase the materials we needed for the barbeque in my condomenium. We spent $80 for that. Then late afternoon, i went to Sheng Shiong to buy the chicken wings and other food stuffs. At night, my siblings and i prepared the food. My bro and sis made the pork and beef spaghetti, Spaghetti alla carbonara, Macaroni Salad, and i made the Jelly. We also marinated the Chicken wings. It was fun and tiring.

Friday (24th of September)
The day of the Barbeque. After school, i immediately headed home to do some last minute preparations. I asked samuel to buy additional stuffs for the spaghetti. As time went by, more and more people arrived. And that Shierly the menace! She said while in school that she wasnt going because she needed to study and other crap. And yeah, she was bluffing all the way! She came to my house saying, "are u surprise to see me?" and "Are you happy that i came?". Well, i gotta admit i guess i did feel very happy. At around 4 pm, Samuel, Chin Yong Jun Jie and me palyed basketball till 5. Chin Yong and I was hot and kept on scoring! Then the Chinese girls came and i got pressured because i needed to manage lotsa people. They want to go here, they want to go there, they want to go to the toilet, and so on and so forth. I was so stressed especially when 6 pm came and more people came and i had to bring the food down and start the fire and keep everyone patient and entertained and..... Now i know how tough it is to organise a barbeque party! When i brought the Spaghetti down, no one minded it because it was covered with aluminium foil. no one saw what was inside, so they continued chatting. But when i removed the foil, everyone drooled and gathered around the table.. Everyone quickly took a plate and tackled one another just to get a taste of the food! Lots of them said the spag was great except for the Carbonara because my brother accidentally spilled the milk while mixing it. The chicken wings was also a fiasco because the marinate solution was too concentrated, resulting the chicken to be very salty. I also forgot about the macaroni salad because i was saving it for dessert. When half of the people went home, then i remembered to display it.. Some people didnt like it because it was sweet. I like sweet stuffs, and for me, the salad wasnt that sweet. But for them, it was! At around 9 pm, we played tennis. No one knows how to play so the ball literally flew anywhere! Even over the fence! Then Natalia, Joel and Victor came at around 9.30, but the Spaghetti was already consumed. So they were forced to eat the salty chicken wings. Im terribly sorry for that Joel, Nat and Vic! Then at around 10 pm, before the chinese girls went home, we took our class photo beside the pool. I asked for the help of my condo's security guard. So the number was cut in half.. There were less people, so as the level of fun. Me and Netty decided to drink the big bottle of Carlsberg. We thought that no one would want to drink it because it has a bitter taste, but we were wrong! everyone wanted a cup of it, but a bottle wasnt enough. In the end, everyone had an almost equal share of the beer (1/4 cup each). Natalia asked me to make a speech before we drank, so i did. I dont know if i touched them, but my speech made me touch myself! (not literally!) . After that, we cleaned up and went in my house. Then Net and Chin Yong played Samuel's playstation 2 and Net kicked Chin Yong's ass! Chin Yong, YOU SUCK! Haha! Then as the night went on, more people left. Joel and Jun Jie went home at around 1.30 am! Daniel, Kok Chuang and Samuel slept over at my place and watched The omen.. The ending sucks! And that's it, the end of yesterday.

I'd like to use this last paragraph to thank several people for making this barbeque possible. First and foremost, I'd like to thank my siblings for giving a big help preparing the food, without complaining. Secondly, i'd like to thank Kok Chuang, Wei Rong, Daniel, Hsiu Ya and Samuel for helping me buy the things in Fairprice, especially samuel, who volunteered to help me buy and pay for the additional ingredients which cost $35. Daniel and Kok Chuang and wei rong for helping me organise the bbq and managing my financial expenses. I also wanted to thank ChinYong for buying additional drinks and Natalia for lending me the bbq equipments. To Netty for helping me get Nat's bbq stuff which i borrowed, which i forgot to take home from school. To KC, Dan, Wei rong, Chin Yong, Jun Jie, and the other girls and guys who helped me bring down the food form my house. To Shierly for keeping the fun to a constant level, and to the rest that i forgot to mention, for helping me with this BBQ party (So sorry if i forgot u). But my biggest appreciation is to the people who came. Without u all, this bbq wouldnt have been successful and fun. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you guys for your support and assistance! I am really really greatful for having awesome friends like you!

Two Tipsy People

2005-09-19T00:19:00.000+08:00

Yeah! Sunday... I hate sundays! i cant sleep late.. But today's another crazy day with netty and few of my classmates.
Let me start when the time i woke up. I checked my phone and got a message from Shierly. She was inviting me to go watch a movie, The Cave, with the others. I accepted the invitation and went there. But i heard from my sis that her friends commented that the movie sucks, so i suggested to watch A sound of thunder instead.. They agreed and me, samantha, shierly and Hsiu ya watched the movie. In the end, in my personal opinion, the movie sucks! The story is good but the graphics are horrible! I felt guilty that i changed the plan.. I was so embarrassed towards them! But at least i wasnt late today.. Well, actually, the meeting time was at 12, but i arrived at 12.45.. but it was ok, cuz they ate brunch, while i ate mine at home. So i think being late today isnt counted!
After the movie we went to Hsiu ya's house to hang out. We met netty on the bus, which we were supposed to meet in Hsiu ya's house. What a coincidence! The others sat on their seats without noticing netty.. only i spotted her in an instance! Then i boasted that my eyes are like scanners that can search the place very fast.. I can also see through objects! I acquired this special gift when i went to this nuclear power plant in france. There was an accident, a radioactive mist sprayed to into my eyes. I was blind for a month, and after that, i could see! Clearer than ever, if u know what i mean! Ok, enough of this bullshit!
So we're in Hsiu ya's house and stayed there for a while. Samantha and Shierly were planning to go to orchard and watch another movie! I didnt want to spend my money cuz i was running out of cash.. So netty and i decided to stay in Hsiu ya's house. After a while, we decided to play billiards in Parkway and we did. We also invited Kok chuang and wei rong to play with us. After that, we bought dinnerin KFC to be eaten in Hsiu ya's house.. We also bought 2 cans of Carlsberg and a bottle of Tequila. So we ate in Hsiu ya's house and drank.. netty and i got a bit tipsy and she kept on laughing and laughing.. I think the beer had a hit on her that it made her high! Her face turned pinkish and her eyes turned watery as well! She was so funny, especially when she kept on saying "actually im not drunk, im just tipsy, and i can still walk". She kept on saying that for like 10 times! Now i think she was more than a bit tipsy! After that, we headed home.
I should be sleeping now since i got tipsy, but decided to write this blog down.. But im sure that I'll sleep tightly tonight because of the beer.

Days of Peaceful Nights

2005-09-17T23:54:00.000+08:00

Finally, at long last, prelims has ended! The pressured and stressed days are over! Im so exhilerated, and looking forward to the following carefree days ahead! Even before and during the prelims, a handfull of us were already planning for our activities after the week in hell. One of our plan was to meet at eunos mrt station at 1 pm on friday (Last day), and proceed to Jurong east and go Ice skating.

Well, the day of the last day of prelims, we had our additional mathematics paper 2 test.. It was much easier than paper 1, and in my opinion, its easier than elementary mathematics paper 2! That was unusual.. After the test, the guys and i played basketball. The court was wet, so i didnt had my A-game along with me.. But still, i did some crazy-but-cool stunts of mine. After that, i went home and played computer. Time must have gone out of my mind while playing and i ended at around 12.45.. I panicked and felt already dead, considering that i had not bathed yet. So i took 30 mins grooming myself and left the house at around 1.15.. i knew that i was dead. I arrived at eunos mrt at around 1.45... When the girls saw me, they had tiger-looks in their eyes, and i felt really small.. They were like, "You know what time i got here?" and "You must pay for our ice skating fees" and "We've waited for 45 mins!".. Well, i felt sorry for them and myself.. felt sorry for myself cuz i was being bombarded by them! But it was in a joking manner, which is what they always do to me. So we arrived in the ice-skating place and skated for 2 hrs. more than half of us couldnt skate so i spent more than half of my time teaching them, especially samantha. But its fine, i love teaching people, especially see them improve because of me.. I cant explain the feeling, but its more meaningfull that orgasm! So i witnessed samantha shine bit by bit, like watching your own kid learning how to walk. Well, there was this one time when she fell because i was disturbed.. I was concentrating on her balance when Shierly called my and tried to tell me something. I shifted my attention to her and suddenly, i heard a loud thump. I looked back to Sam and saw her sitting on the ice! I think her fall was hard, judging by the loudnest and solidness of her fall. When samantha was resting, i tried doing the sudden break on ice by moving my skates perpendicular to the direction of where im going.. And guess what, i fell 5 or 6 times because of trying to do that stupid stunt!
After the skating, we ate at swensens and planned secretly on Wei Rong's surprise celebration (It was his birthday the following day). So we executed our plan and celebrated in Wei Rong's HDB's parking lot. We were very noisy and that one of the neighbors shouted something to us. But we didnt care. I mean, what the f*ck do we care, its not our neighborhood! hahaha! Im so mean, ain't I? But anyways, After that we went home, totally exhausted from the test and fun activities we had. I fell flat on the bed when i got home. (But of course, i still took a bath.. Cant sleep with out taking one.._

Today (Saturday), I organised a movie marathon in my house. Since my parents are gone for a month, i took advantage of their absence and do the things i've been wanting. Shierly came here first at around 10 am. The 2 of us watched The Godfather part 1 and 2 (my favourite movie). She really really really liked the movie! Then the guys came. At that time, i havent showered and brushed my teeth (10am is too early for me to wake up), so hearing of them walking towards my house, made me bathe. We watched American Pie and "educated" my very innocent classmates. They didnt understand most of the terms used in the movie like "getting laid" and other kinky terms, so i "guided" and "translated" those kinky words, into a mix of scientific and proper english from. I think they are more "educated", but i dont think they will get naughty, cuz everytime there was a nude scene, they would cover their eyes with pillows. Im not sure wether they are acting that they're not looking and peep, or really refuse to watch. I can say, they are absolutely different from my friends back in the Philippines! We also wacthed SWAT and Omen. I think some of the people their thought that the activity was boring, so i think its a bit of a fiasco. I personally also think that it was boring.. Well, im still looking forward to the days ahead.. days full of fun and stress-relieving activities, to soothe our over-intelligent brains! Damn im too modest! It doesnt suit me already!

Insane Night

2005-09-07T10:51:00.000+08:00

Its another day of our september holidays, or should i say study week, and guess what, i've not been studying my heart out!! I'm really ded! D-E-D, ded!!! My mom's in the Philippines, no one's here to discipline me, and im here, Ego-filled-crazy-guy on the loose! for the past few days, i just couldnt get the momentum to study intensively, and by the fact that the prelims are less than a week away, its so predictable that my head will be chopped off..

Last night, netty and i went pubbing (a great relief that i wasnt the only one who's crazy). We went to clark quay to go bar-hopping. We found this pub called 1nitestand, and i thought that that place was kinky! so i was so ecstatic to go in and check the place out. but before we entered, an A4 size note was poted on the entrance saying "minimum age for males:23 ; minimum age for females: 21" we stopped right there in front and was apprehensive to enter. But still, my devilry won over my fears and asked netty to hook her arms with mine so that we'll look like a couple. and add to that, i was wearing a long sleeves buttoned shirt folded up, and leather shoes. That'll make them convince that we're above minimum age! So we went in, observed the atmosphere, and tried to find a seat. The live band was awesome! their good! Suddenly, a waitress approached us. I was ready to make excuses that we're foreigners and we didnt have an I.C. and all those craps. but it turned out that she was suggesting us to sit in a corner on a leather couch. She probably have thought that we were really couples! In order not to blow our cover, i agreed and sat there. She asked for our drinks and i ordered a bottle of Carlseberg. Netty didnt want to drink cuz she had an empty stomach. After half an hour or more, we left the place. Few steps after the exit, a fat, big, scary and gigantic bouncer from that pub approached us. I was like "uh-oh, we're in trouble!" Again, i was ready to make excuses. Again, it turned out that he was advertising their ladies-night on thursday. He said that it isnt actually a ladies night cuz there are no free flow of drinks, its just free flow for the first 4 drinks! He also gave netty his business card and asked us to call him if we'd bring some friends and he'll reserve some seats for us.. aww thats sweet! and i gave a very comforting sigh of relief when we walked away.. Its so ironic that we were supposed to be prohibited in that place, but it turned out that we were invited to go again! so we walked to the mrt station, and to our misfortune, we missed the last train and needed to take a taxi home. Yep, we took a taxi and went home.. i reached home at 1 in the morning and slept.

This morning, i feel so guilty that after writing this 2nd post, i'll go straight to my room to study and catching my momentum. Damn, that was a crazy night especially when it was just days before prelims!

My First Time (Not Sex)

Hey there! this is my very first blog.. I know that i'll suck in this, so please do forgive me. I need to give credit to Samantha for helping me think of a blog address.. we've tried "jonasthemonster", "jonathictheory", "jonasthegay", "jonastration", etc.. and they all sucked, especially jonastration which Sam said that it sounds like menstruation! that'll be a major no-no for my blog add! Finally, we're left with jonastrology and jonastricity. jonastricity sounds cooler cause it has something to do with physics.. although i really suck in physics, i kinda like the terms related in that subject. terms such as nuclear fussion and latent heat of vaporisation! woooo thats deep man! Oh well, i'll start with what happened today.

My mom woke me up at 6 in the morning because she was leaving for Philippines. Her plan was to go to the Philippines and meet my dad there, spend 5 days and leave again for Canada. Her purpose is to inquire informations about the education system there and look around for houses for sale.
So, i woke up with dreary eyes and took a bath. The water was too damn cold for me to adjust! We went to the airport by taxi and ate our breakfast in burger king. we sat there discussing the things we should do while she's gone for 2 hrs!
When we were saying our good-byes, my mom shed a tear or two. My heart went soft as we parted but at the same time, my devious thoughts were also conquering.. i was sad and happy at the same time.. happy that im FREE! i can do almost whatever i want! now im planning for my barbeque at my condomenium. I just hope that my concentration towards my studies wont be distracted, especially when my mom's away, and no one's here to control my ego. Im trying my best to have discipline and to be mature enough to take care of my siblings at the same time! what a burden! but i cant do anything cuz im the eldest.

My day has not finished yet as im writing this blog in the morning.. What a bad timing to write a blog! but since its my first one, i'll give it an exception.
