Audisiac of the moment: Jay Z's Kingdom Come

Just when they thought it was all over
I put the whole world on my back in broad shoudlers the ball hover
Who you know took over tracks like that
Guess what New York New York me baaacccccckkkkk.... ;)

To whoever's bothering to read.. so i'll bother back.
Nothing much to rant. Juz clear my mental space if ya'll know wat m sayin'
Exams were a joke, which goes well with the whole NUS theme anyway so no jack-in-the-boxes there. Am spending the rest of the week trying to get the Feds off my back. Give a brother space to breathe man... hell wrong witchu.. Barely a week after I burn my semester's notes, u come knocking on the door abt reservist...

Missed Flow @ MOS completely thanx to a well timed paper the next morning.. Heard it went well.. well herez a blurr ass clip of wat went down.. thnx to youtube's rules of compression..

Surprise of the nite being Wilson not shattering both his kneecaps landing on them from a height twice his... Buck.. haha.

Aight Aight.. as Daniel Milton said, Krump = random swinging of arms and strategic stomping of feet..of course he was juz kidding. And i aint gonna argue with a good fren, particularly one who happens to be a trained fighter and veteran of King of the Cage. But I encourage anyone who thinks itz all that.. holla, and we'll see who's got the street grimey in em over us.

Nothin' on tv except the Asian Games. I din know comedies lasted more than 3hrs.. Oh and if u go to the papers and look at China's medal haul, juz add 2 to it from Singapore's tally. Feeble attempt at buying success.. Havent u no idea that the whole world is laughing at u.. Meantime, the Chinese are so dominant i wun be surprised if they cough up some kinda super athelete who is a power lifter and can double up as a floor gymnast.. and can compete both in the male and female category... coz seriously u wun be able to tell the difference.

Speaking of which...someone pls tell me who is that retarded chicken singing the Games anthem?! Dickwart cant even pronounce his words.. Go crawl back into the hole from whence u came u tiny piece of turd! I din know they implemented weekend release programs for the mentally underpriviledged.. of which im sure plenty of the committee that hired that prick are residents of too..

Juz rename "Team Singapore" "Team Shandong" will u.. hilarious stuff..

No wonder those actually born here are lining up to get the hell outta here. Im no exception. The most i'll stay on for is for my masters, and after that, i'll kiss this place goodbye for good, prolly go set up another branch of the iLLers in Australia or something. I'd rather be eaten alive by a mutant cannivorous Kangarilla than suffer the humliation of having foreign clients ask me if we are like Hong Kong and will be returned to China soon.

Dun ask me man.. im black and proud of it...dun ya'll be trippin' over the fact that i speak chinese. It was my mum's idea and secondly, the only reason i studied it is so that i can rip off a rich oriental mogul, kick him in the nads and actually understand what he's howling about.

Trippin'...

Thank God im perpectually plugged into my iPod.. at least i can listen to Jay Z 'stead of some Jay Chou monkey banter which some people cant resist but blare over their handphones. Get a brain. Duck rice sellers bounce to that shit. Not me, so if u see a player like me decked who obviously was born with grills on his gums, i suggest u save urself and your dynastic ancestory the embarrasement and turn it off... coz no one's impressed with ur sweet and sour chicken-ass taste.

Yawn.. be leavin' for a couple of getaways soon. After which is back to pack for the shifting of the crib.. well i aint exactly gonna be callin' it my crib. A brother's gotta roll in style u know wat m sayin'. Aint no way ima be in that place long anw.. yeah its tight and all.. but im the generation grown' up on MTV Cribs, and i aint gonn' settle for less.. u heard? so this is how i see it, 5 years on and i'll be sippin' Chandon on one of em villas on a private island off Dubai, goin' to do the wkend shoppin' by yacht and having a fountain of crude oil spouting from the middle of my dining area..

Aight aight, thizzle prolly last u guys another 6mths or so till im back again. If u see me on the streets, holla.

Shout-outs to all the neglected during my academic hiatus. the iLL fam.. the Audisiacs, the genetic fam, the old GESS troopers, and the missus of course.. luv's out.

Star or Idol... u tell me...

2006-08-17T16:09:00.000+08:00

So check it... I'm gonna take on the mountain of a task to stop u critters from wasting your cents on sms for a local monkey in a suit.. make that 8 monkeys..(or watever number is left in that cesspool of a local talent freakshow..) and post clips of the REAL performances out there...from the reality show that kicks ass and shows us where the great singers are all at.. I'll stop there and let the music do the walkin'..coz u've heard the rest...Holla!

An older song from Ryan. Makes u wanna throw boulders of that cracker-ass copycat from Boyzone for his gay version.. For those of u wanting to hear his earlier work, he was from a band called Stage. Check it.

Another belter from the man... i luv this song.. My dad used to play it in the car when we were all lil tykes... made my hair to hear this one...

This one's from Lukas..juz coz i think hez more hardcore than Tommy Lee.. haha.. plus i dig the way hez always full of surprises... even tho he looks like a skunk..lol

Last but not least Dilana..specially for her biggest fan..if u are looking at this u know who u are.. ;) Dilana Dilana..wat can i say.. u kick ass and show some men how it should be done...and make Patrice look like a complete idiot.. not that she/he wasnt one to start with..

Ai im done... Peace to all those i bother smiling to... Holla!

Get Krump or get Dunked...

2006-08-07T18:01:00.000+08:00

SwaYin' Fili Stylez' I Krump

I hate this time of year... National Day... a time of that one ultimate crappy tune that plays over and over.... and over again... Last year, it was only barely bearable coz Wuss was in the vdo and shit... But this year, with that scrawny over-expressive hoe belting out a song that she pretends iz hard to sing... thats juz way overboard... and itz in the same league as that disgusto Christina "Im' a Hooker in a Corner" Aguilera... why dun u people juz die...

I almost envy Pete that hez leaving for Vancouver and wun haf to put up with this shit... we'll all hang tight till u get back homie... that is if Wil doesnt screw up the iLLers that bad...

But life goes on, circling around nothing but CORS, the time where me and a small group of faithful comrades wish we were handed plastic forks so we could stab everyone of those bastards who have the cheek and audacity to bid like 2000pts for a module. You lollipops better run b4 i get buck, word up, retract ur bid and go get stuffed with ur imaginary blow-up girlfrend Mindy... u lifeless pricks. Where do u get so many points anwwayz? Late night booty calls with the Profz? Get outta here... Faggots...

Anw i aint over- trippin' ... u take the "im gonna bid all my points and get my module" approach.. im employing the "look scary and intimidate the FASS office staff fags"... I'll see u assholes at lecture.

Someone pls conduct a pre-meditated assault n put me in a calculated coma so that i'll wake up after August 9th...

Hold up... i change my mind.. make that after Singapore Idiot is over! Cracker-ass crackers... sing like a bloated frog and haf brainless teens scream like rape victims juz coz u haf enuf teeth to flash a half-decent smile... I used to pity the contestants... now i pity the "fans".. pathetic...im sure all ur un-dying support propelled Tuafik all the way to being the face of 7-11... hilarious..

And i wonder why they wun show Rockstar Supernova... where the judges know wat they are talking about... and where they at least haf talent to judge.. where else would u get comments like "that was juz cheap, in 20years of rock and roll, i never had to put myself thru that"... and the list goes on... if u dun dig wat im driving at, then take a look urself...

Still thinkin' nah....

Juz in case u dun get the msg...

Still think Singapore Idiot, or even American Idol is the bomb? then u r a class-A dud..i dun need to watch an episode to make a comparison. My mum does that by blaring the program on the hall telly, where i hear nothing but an hour of flat singing.. Get outta here. save ur cents... unless of course u dig crap, in which case get in touch, coz my toilet door is always open and the lid is always up...

Peace to all those keepin' it real... and of course to the missus, for actually listening to my disgruntled take-outs on a daily basis... i luv u juz coz u boycotted Singapore Idiot for me... now datz wat i call sweet..

2006-07-18T19:43:00.000+08:00

I promise i'll clean my room before you get back...honest...i'll even do the dishes out of goodwill...

SwAyIn': Jigga Man and Beyonce's Deja Vu

Oh lord this is hilarious... therez this fat rubbish bag of a woman on Oprah weeping her guts out on how she ate coz her family din tell her everyday taht they loved her...

Boo hoo hoo... But i wished my dad would bother to look at me...

Boo hoo hoo... My siblings are all thin...and im not... (u dun say..)..

Boo hoo hoo... my only solace was the silver fridge... (so much for that silver lining)..

WHY DUN U JUZ SHUT UR FACE AND ADMIT U LUV FOOD! AND YOU ARE ONLY WEEPING COZ U ARENT AS THIN AS KIERA KNIGHTLEY..SO GET OFF YOUR DAD'S BACK... hez right to call u a fat tub of lard, not to mention he cant possibly hug u coz u are the width of a tractor...

Oh how i love Oprah.. A puffy woman who puffs her hair as big as she can to give the optical illusion of balance...and procedes to dish out advice on going on a diet to improve one's mental well-being... good try... And not to mention the audience on crack who scream and shrill at exclusive footage of Oprah's pet roach... intelligent lot... one word.. one word...CRACK COCAINE!!! itz a helluva drug.

The telly is juz a box of laughs.. even the non-comedies... look no further than Singapore "Idol"... fo real... last i caught glimpse, they kicked off this fugly looking simian.. but im tellin' ya... thats far from the end i feel...Long i do for the day they eliminate all 12 coz someone will wake up and realise, "good god, these guys are a serving of shyte with poop-sauce, I've heard highland men on dope who churn out better melodies"...

Thank the heavens for Rockstar Supernova...

Anyhow, im juz stone bored...i've been doing nothing but clean my room, disinfect my room, dust my room....oh did i mention clean my room...

Aight, im done..short, insulting and crude... juz the way i like it.. this entry was meant more to serve as an indicator to the missus that i am indeed at home and not up to anything cheeky... yet...

If im in the mood, i'll post a couple of overdue shots from the Star Wars exhibition for the diehard... Laterz.

So much for Michael Bollock...

2006-07-05T12:21:00.000+08:00

SwaYn' Saliva's I Walk Alone

Still rejoicing after the Azzuri destruction of the Germans... Finally, no more seeing Lama Lahm, that bugger looks like a 6 year old.. And Michael Bollocks too... I never got wat the big deal with him was... hez drop dead ugly, like most other Germans like say..hmm... Lehmann, Neuville, Barowski, SWINEschtiegar, (they hardly haf eyes, and like they've got a mouthfull of unshelled walnuts) and he was a world cup flop like the unfortunate Ronaldinho. How much of a man can u be when ur first name "Michael", is actually pronounced "Michelle"... hahaha.. i keed u not... ask any German.. juz stand at a distance.. coz the way they speak, u wun want to be washing phlegm out of ur hair for a week..

So the German sausages are out... couldnt be happier.. no more Podolski too.. that disfigured teenager...and their over-enthu coach.. I aint no Azzuri fan, but they deserved it. PLayed brilliant. So wat was all that about the fortress that was Dortmund? It was breached like butter... if not for the goal frame, u fools would haf been humiliated even worse... but then again, how much more sadistic can the Italians get... taking ur world cup dreams and crushing it 2mins b4 the end in front of a shitload of ur countrymen... It was sweet bliss watching all yall weeping like bitches after the whistle.. At least they improved from last time round's exit at the finals... i'd rather go out at the first round than haf to actually walk past the World Cup Trophy on the platform knowing u aint gonna get to touch it...

Frankly, i dun care who wins now... Ok maybe not France.. they dun deserve it any more than the Italians.. And not to mention a certain Portugal team that i adore thx to a certain Luis Figo...

So all in all, a good WC...stupid English are out too... another orgasmic image, watching Boogham weep like a whore after a long night. Really, i cant stand the English.. Cocky fools who cant back it up... "We will unleash Rooney..we will unleash ths and that, we will show our true form..blah blah blah..." SHOVE IT!!! How u ever expect to win anything relying on a human rat named Crotch. Not to mention u pin everything on a not-match-fit Rooney. I luv Rooney, but grow up will ya, hez 20, he was on the back of a major injury..wat did u expect from him?! And where was ur fabled Gerrard and Lampah?? they were NOTHING when they wree supposed to be the leaders, since that bra-wearing Slackham was as useful as a barbershop beside a guillotine...

As u may have realised by now, i dun really like the English. But i will say i felt for the likes of Joe Cole and Ashley Cole, even tho i cant stand the smell of a Gooner and an Abrahamovician... I applaud skill and heart when i see it..

Poor Argentina tho... was expecting great things from them... U Pecker-head Peckerman... thats wat u get for taking off Riquelme (speaking of which, i recently invested a fortune in geting meeself adidas's predator absolados, the ones Riquelme dons, after i broke 2, yes TWO pairs of boots within a space of hmm...say...15mins?!?!)... the dude was the only thing in midfield gng for u, u senile old bag!

So i'll close on the WC update by stating i hope Portugal win... I've been behind them even when they couldnt qualify for the last 2 WCs.. ok i admit i supported the Brazilians those times, but only coz they played great footie and they were a joy to watch, but if there is a team i feel im behind, itz got to be Scolari's men... altho i know their chances are extremely slim... im happy to see them get this far, and more impt, dumping out the English!! the feeling was better than lifting the trophy for me!

But the best part of the end of the World Cup is that all the women out there will stop pretending they know sump'... really... it pisses me off big time.. Yes i will admit there are a few of u..i repeat, a FEW as in alrdy near-extinct, who know their stuff... but for the love of God and all things holy, pls juz stick to ur shopping.... PLEASE!! I'll even pay u to go shop and shut up in front of the telly... I have about had it with the "oh Beckhan is so good". Excuse me, he is married to a fellow prostitute, and cries and pukes and does everything but play football. And dun get me started on Owen... Owen WHO? oh u mean that sick dog who pushes the ball and runs after it? Aka the eternally hopeless one? And dear lord, enuf about Bollock... we all know the only thing he can kick is a fuss... he looks like a martian, so dun use that as an excuse to say he looks mysterious... he looks mysteriously disfigured if u ask me...

Bimbotic Ah Lian with the intellectual capacity of a walnut: "Oh but he's got a wonderful face..."

Yours Truly: " Yeah, i look at his face and i wonder..."

WOMEN... zip it. we all know u memorize facts from newspaper reports the following day and juz relay them, i've heard u, like the vocal correspondent from Soccernet... It aint cool...

WOMEN....

W. O. M. E. N...

Aite enuf...

So the missus has found work... good on her, great for me! hahah... now i haf all the time in the world to bum arnd! Nah juz kidding...do miss u loads, but i aint cryin over it! lol! Juz spending the days catching up with the sick squad... which reminds me, Puunz, i owe u a shelling for cancelling on me and Sara... u bastard..

Oh and there was Superman Returns...lets juz say i've caught it more than a couple of times... all thats left is a trip to IMAX.. brilliant... i dun care wat others say, Routh is a dead ringer for Reeve from certain angles. But i will admit no one, and i mean NO ONE will ever play Supes better.. Christopher Reeve IS Superman. BUt other than that, the movie was, in CK language, swell! Spacey was dead-on for Luthor...the guy was flawless in delivery. Singer did an amazing job paying tribute to the original.. Movie of the year for me so far... by a long way. Cant blame me too, i waited 17 long years for it, and yes, i sobbed in fear when i heard all those years back they were casting Nic Cage (i still duno who was thinking wat)... So yes, now we can all wait for the next 2 instalments.. and with Singer on-board, i dun see a change from the winning formula..

Wat else wat else... oh yeah, caught the Spidey 3 teaser. looks awesome.. thx to Tatum for the heads up or i wld haf known much later.. could haf done better with the symbiote costume tho... as in staying true to the one we r more familiar with in the books... but who's complaining really...

Nxt up, Pirates and Davey Jone's locker! haha..cant wait!

Till then, i shall continue on my vacation from the band and from the iLLers.. this booty nneds more snoozy... i'll leave u guys with trailer if u havnt caught it yet... Shout-outs to the family of friends, to the missus of course, work hard and dun slack off juz coz ur best fren is there too..i can arrange to get her "removed"... haha... Peace!

Bored out of my skull....

2006-06-25T18:25:00.000+08:00

SwayIn' Run DMC's Jam Master Jay. Respect.

So yo, if ur intuitive mind has alredy picked up by now, the frequency of post is in direct relation with the fact that I've maintained my status as the world's sickest bastard during "flu-n-infection-come-get-me-month"... trippin'...

Anw the boredom got so intense i decided to do a lil re-deco as u can see... Black, gold and white.. pimpin'!! Nah, reason being they are the colours of the lengendary Muhammad Ali... so i decided to fly like a butterfly sting like a bee..Dig?

Anyway, being sick often leaves me pissed.. so i'll use the excuse to unload. Now as of late, I've been doing stints with the band, as well as providing a recognisable face at events with the iLLers. So it came as no surprise that at the latest In Your Face iLLers party, this guy i know by mere human features hobbles up to me and pops the question: Arent u the vocalist of that rock band that played at PS? So what brings u here? *PS, i was in my usual get-up, hence his admirable intellect led him to the possible conclusions that a) I had to be rich enough to deck myself out. b) That I enjoy posing as a Hip-hopper tho im a rocker in disguise, just so i fit in with the crowd....*

.......

Maggot, has it occured to u that there is a term in Longman's and supported by Websters... something along the lines of...hmm... say... multi-talented? haha..yeah thats me, good ol' shameless bastard.. So quit looking at me as if i m some gender-confused monkey, u jive turkey. Fine, i'll give in as much as to say i enjoy and do both equally...

DVD collection: OzzFest beside Rize and Battlezone.

CD collection: Metallica's Black Album beside Jay-Z's Black Album.

Wadrobe: PhatFarm get-ups beside Killswitch Engage and Slayer concert tees...

So there you go, i enjoy both, im a walking mash-up. i DO both. We jam, HEAVILY, with the band, we cover A7x, Deftones, Alter, blah blah blah and yes, i can scream like a bitch on crack. (vidoes will be put up soon as testament...hahah)

Then theres the iLLers... i aint haf to say no more... the shit we throw burns all in our path. The haters, the biters, everything.. We started this war... Wilson, Peter, myself (tho i do admit having to do both took me out of the game somewhat)... but try me, instead of trying to figure out which side of the fence im on... If it really bugs u that much, battle me, try to out-pop me, Or maybe lets have a game on who rocks harder... Bitches! Im Rick James! Im cold as ice! haha..

But seriously...c'mon... i'll back this mouth of mine 24/7. I dun just say stuff is thrash unless i can back that shit up. Thats how it goes down. You wanna front on sump', then prepare to defend it. If I say Sg Idol are majority hoes and slutty boys who provide little more than vocal anal floss, then I'll be more than happy to put u in ur place..

You tell me u joined Fu*kamania coz itz the greatest Hip Hop comp of all time. And that dressing up in Ho uniforms makes u ghetto fly.. please, do us all a favour and douse urself in lighter fluid. I rmb saying it was crap, nvr gonna go back on it. Am i saying the iLLers are bigger than Fu*kamania? Damn rite! Fo sho! So big that we can afford of turning down the luxury of JUDGING the damn thing...

There, said it. I dun give 2 shots how that sounded. Im not saying we are the best. i'll never say that. But i AM saying that we'd whoop the asses of many out there who claim to be the best. I aint as naive as to hate on everyone doing wat they wanna do. But i will say this, that hip hop in SG will forever juz be a trend as long as we've got pple who think they're the shit, dress the part but who move like a private part... someone who goes "yo, dawg", and turns around talking in hokkien mixed with mispronounced english... And i will say that SG hip hop will never truly be hip hop, not when u can bring urselves to call Taiwanese bubblegum pop "hiphop"... And not when u go to an event like In Your Face and scream your "wo men yong yuen zhi chi ni"s... Piss Off... There are plenty of channels that screen nothing but fair, skinny gay men with a head full of rebonded elephant anal hair and shaped eyebrows... itz all there, go wallow in it, but pls discontinue the false pretense, coz the only good impersonation u guys do are that of people without a brain...

And to those who actually haf sump' to offer, that lil small local community.. this is God's word... Dun hate. For real, quit hating. I've had enuf. If u were anywhere else in the world, ur momma would be recieving ur head in a K-Mart paper bag the next day. You dun come up after a battle and rant and rave about challenging another cat juz coz u hate his guts.. U "challenge" him coz u respect him. You challenge him coz u wanna do a 10min joust with him to show the audience wat hip hop is all about.. not about who is better. Coz both of u are part of the same flow. Goodness, i dun know how many times i've had to say this.. So as far as In Your Face went, to a certain fool named Felix, word is ur "weapon of choice" is as small as ur brain, my advice, grow up... in as many ways as possible. You're as pretty as my left ass cheek on a rainy day. And juz so u know, off the record, BFC whooped ur ass in DxO, 23rd June 2006...Over and over and over and over again.. Handle that fag!

Aite im done. Juz in case u're done with the Unholy Confessions vid, i'll throw in an outtakes vdo by the iLLers..itz nothing heavy on ill moves, but Wil did a fine job on editting so i juz thought i'd share it and give that fool some street cred. hahaha. U wanna catch the rest juz hit "illers" on youtube. Final word out the usuals, the band family, the iLLers crew.. Rmb, we started as one, one groove, lets keep it such. Pete, big up on In Your Face. Adidas here we come! To the GESS family. And of course to the missus. Thx juz coz...

Peace.

Shit dat keeps me gng when the crap virus strikes...Njoi

SwayN' Killswitch Engage's This Fire Burns

No itz not anybody in particular im cravin'... but more like a period in life I often long for... I'll front... I'm not cut out for the dramatic shit in life... I hate it... Itz for people who get upset about the decreasing population of ants... who go into depression juz to enact the dictionary entry... I cant be bothered...

In other words, whenever a problem crops up, i flare. I go into a rage. Why? Not coz i enjoy being angry (ok maybe a lil...), but more coz i juz wanna find the fastest possible way to ignore/avoid drama..even if it is the expense of hurting the other party... i do it juz so i can get over it. I dun wanna deal with it. Itz childish dilemma to me. In fact, it seems to me these days that i consider alot of shit petty. My solution, "i'll make u so pissed with me u dun feel like talking no more OR i think up a good excuse to hide in the pits of Mordor juz so i can save my breath for a rainy day". Period. I dun give in. Much..NOt to anyone. It sucks i know, i should be a sensitive human being, but the problem seems to envelope in itself, to the point of self sustainence. Instead of feeling like i should do something, i'll just be angry for being angry...and im angry at being angry for feeling angry. Makes sense? Bottomline: Anger+Me = Sugar-coated candy-floss...

Back to wat this was supposed to be about... I cant stand the demands of a complicated life. If there was one point in my life that I truly miss, and that i wish my everydays were like, then it would have to be Sec 2. Fo Sho! Soccer, Puunz, Wuss, and Clinton's antics about everything that breathed. Nothing more. Simple fellas like myself who i engaged with for hours on end. And when the mental sweat drained, bring on the footie!! God i miss those days! Give us a pingpong ball and a vacant toilet cubicle, and bam! Like Energizer bunnies we'd go on and on... U'd play one game while already thinking about the next... THAT IS LIFE! U had ur best mates about u, the ball at ur feet. Girls were pussy.. I mean that in a non pornographic way of course. Girls to us did not exist beyond the fact that they were nothing but trouble. The theory still proudly lingers on till today. The only problems that fazed us were having to wait too long for our turn at the court or having to figure out illegal ways to bring down Munster (this huge mountain of an Indian dood who saw it as a fashion statement to wear shorts and his uniform top).. Good lord i still get nightmares about his white-as-ass teeth...

So yeah, i miss all that.. the all boys class, the having not a care in the world. No financial issues.. (me and wilson used to scrap for food on recess leftovers just becoz it seemed ghetto), Puunz and me on our daily walks along GH. (We actually sought subconcious comfort in seeing sickly people). Clinton's humour..(we actually made fun of people to feel good about ourselves, a complimentary package that worked with the GH excursions).. hahaha...

I look at that and i look at present... i think we whore oursevles too much to the fact that we are grown up and hence have the insatiable desire to complicate matters so they seem more adult for us to deal with.. And to make it more bearable, we refer occasionally to the "good ol' times", our tribute to ourselves to say that i had my day, so now itz time to suffer... like yours truly is doing now... im a sad piece of shit and i admit it! pah! Like i said, maybe im just hotwired to lead a mudane, chinese sitcom/drama-free existence.

So like everything that has to serve a purpose, i suppose this is a toast to the people who made that phase of life possible. U guys know who u are. And another is to put my hands up, effect the best "im stone cold guilty" look and apologise if i've ever inflicted mortal wound and hurt upon ur apple-soft skin. It wasnt intent..Juz din feel like dealin' with it...

So slap me... BBBbbbbYYYYAaaaaaaTTTTTttttCCCccHHHHHhhh!! Hahah...

And to round off the weekend, a round of Scrabble, where i hit my first "Bingo Double"... *homeless* and *splinter*... im such a dork... hyuk hyuk hyuk...

2006-06-05T22:53:00.000+08:00

Our crib for the weekend... not exactly pimped out... but it held toegther...

2006-06-05T22:49:00.000+08:00

The aptly named Chicken Island... looks more like a Turkey to me...

2006-06-05T22:48:00.000+08:00

The water before we took the plunge..

2006-06-05T22:47:00.000+08:00

Water after gf jumped in... 3000 fish about to die of horrible food poisoning...

2006-06-05T22:45:00.000+08:00

And from the other side of the boat...

2006-06-05T22:44:00.000+08:00

Swimming in the sea and actually know where u were going is a genuinely new expirience...

2006-06-05T22:41:00.000+08:00

Sentosa Sunset Bay eat dust...

2006-06-05T22:39:00.000+08:00

2006-06-05T22:37:00.000+08:00

At some seafood joint with bro...and yes we were that thirsty....

2006-06-05T22:36:00.000+08:00

The view from the pool... not bad... (ignore the someone doing vertical crunches in foreground...it wasnt my idea...)

In A Nut (Sea) Shell....

Swayin': Alter Bridge's Open Your Eyes... (coz itz the next song the band is gonna cover and i need to let it stick in my head...-_-)

Yea so tis one is gonna be quick... coz im pooped (get it hun?) beyond belief, and only so the woman can show off pics to her mum while I take next to forever to get the photos done... so im juz gonna throw a few random ones we took...

The trip was aite... some sea stuff in that big giant watery thing, some shopping, some Muay Thai...alot of "somes", nothing in excess..which is good... coz i hate shopping... i detest bargaining... face it... u are already getting it cheap ass..and it aint even real... i'd rather pay 30 Baht more (thats a friggin' dollar) than stand there an extra 30mins trying to make light conversation with someone who would gore u with a tuk tuk with glee rather than earn that extra 45 local dollars...

Which is why Muay Thai takes the cake.. they hurt you and ask questions later... hence all shopkeepers should be Muay Thai exponents.. so when pesky tourist like us (mostly women hustling for 40cents less, they'd get their cellulite-padded behinds whooped... at the end of the day, the men get to move on faster... everyone is either happy or in a coma...)

And everyone stop asking me wat i got... i got darker is wat i got... a lil more and i'll be giving Wesley Snipes a run for his money as the blackest black man on the face of the earth...

Aite thats that... random photos as above...

Again, Audisiacs perform on sat during lunch at the Esplanade... hove ur butt into view if u are around... holla for details... i'll be spreading the word soon... nothing apocalyptic... juz a 30min, 6 song set... any more and i mite evaporate in the scorching heat...

iLLers tix for In Your Face are available from me... shout out if u need em'..

As for the rest... keep in touch if u wanna stay in touch... i aint making no booty calls...

Peace.

SwAyn'... Our Lady Peace' Somewhere Out There...

Ok.. Str8 up, this one’s up becoz the missus demanded it... yes...that earthly being i see the most cant get enuf out of me verbally so i haf to summarize as much of wat i said to her as possible... and the rest of u jive turkeys can juz tag along 4 the ride...so yes...

Life's a bore... EXACTLY the way i like it...no social dilemmas, no “oh but what will my people think of me?” time divided btw the band, the girl and the bed...with the occasional dose of a pansy wuss...simple, hassle free, plus I get to sleep till 2 in the afternoon on most days… Been fairly good news the past month...Barca couldnt haf dealt a more fatal wound to the Gooners... i think they would rather haf lost 6-0 then go down the way they did.. but they got wat they deserved... And without doubt so did the Catalans... they play footie the way United used to... which is why i'm seriously considering jumping the bandwagon..no pt watching EPL..itz Chelski's cup again.. with Bollock and Sheva joinin'.. the rest are screwed..including the Gooners... so Campbell.. i urge u, leave while u can... off to Fenerbache with u... doesnt make the Arsenal backline any more stunning stallions of men, but wat the heck, juz admit u haf been sleeping with Wenger too...

And there was Taylor Hicks... the one person who showed us that it IS about singing.. and not looking like a calculative camera whore.. Itz good she wants to become like Julia Roberts.. coz i hate her juz as much... aite fine u look fine... but it stops there... u, that mop-haired Brenna and that child prostitute Paris can go form the AlleyCat Scraps or smt... yes.,.. that would be nice.. Anwz, gotta dig the soul man.. the woman will attest to me professing my unwavering adulation for the man from the very time he belted out A Change is Gonna Come... brilliant... SOUL PATROL!!

Which reminds me...homies, if u haf a life, dun bother watching the local edition... watz all the talk i hear about those who are walking jokes and those who made it to the final 28? Fellow humans, THEY ARE ALL JOKES...thank God i renounced my citizenship long ago, so the shame doesnt really affect me when i hear things like "rave reviews" and "Nong Nong Ago(?!?!)" being mentioned in the same sentence? Dun nobody come tell me or ask if I know some "hunk" from NUS in the show.. I've seen 0.87seconds of the dickwart on TV Mobile, and it was enuf to scar me for 4 lifetimes... *my eyes!!! my eyes!! I've been blinded!!!* the retard looks like the spawn of a mutant grasshopper who got desperate and decided to haf a go at a lobster... how can u squirm over someTHING that squirms juz the same... u should be ashamed of yourselves...if i had enuf hands i'd slap u myself... coz why? Coz im Rick James bitches! Cold Blooded!!! *at this point if u are going huh, i dun give a damn, but if u do, go watch Dave Chapelle and get back to me*.

Wat else wat else... oh yeah, heading for a lil beach getaway over the wkend...will put up some pics if i'm in the mood or threatened at butter-knife point...Seriously... women sometimes...it dun get more real than this one: Nelson Mandela spent 27 brutal years in prison, took everything they threw at him, got beat down, never once backed. 27 years... He got home, barely lasted 6 months b4 getting a divorce. Devastating effects of the female race personified… Fellaz!! I feel you...but u see... men can never win... sure we may dominate the world, but when it comes to the home, when it comes to ur own women, we aint stand a chance... A woman, now she aint never gonna lose an argument... coz face it, men can never win arguements... and why? coz men haf the need to make sense....but that dun ever hold back a woman..she could be critisizing herself and still make it sound like your fault... damn..

Sorry i digress... *glances arnd nervously for an incoming heel*

Results came out a couple of dayz ago.. i survived yet again.. (strikes off another life-line). remind me never to take mods which are BOTH soci AND history modules... and those classified lvl 3,000, but revealed at the end of the term that it was supposed to be a lvl 45,000...wat was i thinking... i juz hope i dun spot Puunz digging me a grave the next time i go visiting... i guess we're even in some sordid way after how u pulled me thru the oriental excitement of the Qing Dynasty.... we could haf gone to the 3rd floor of the science library for that...

Speaking of Puunz, havnt seen that rodent in awhile... if u are readin' this, holla! U bitch! Hope ICS iznt tying u down... datz Bav's job! hahah... i keed i keed... i'll try to be down for the camp thing... provided my band practices allow it...

Which leads me to the next bulletin.. (notice how i cunningly weave my train of thot into a flowing ensemble called paragraphs?). As i was saying... the band.. we'll be doing a 30min showcase at the Esplanade on the weekend of June 10... details’ll made available to those interested in loud and lyrical music... E.O.A is no more.. and the Audisiacs have taken over..

Also on the topic of events, the iLLers.. (yes us the Sg masters of Krump) are holding In Your Face at DXO on June 23rd... tix at $18... more details atwww.the-illers.com/inyourface. In short, hip-hop battles galore.. Cash str8 up, we doing it abandoned warehouse style.. so if u think u haf the heat, bring it.... And at this point, i would like to stress we are looking for homies keepin' it R.E.A.L... and NOT folks from NUS Hall Dance Troops..(aka circus troops, I’ve seen u act all high and mighty when u cant even pop if your life depended on it)..etc.. we're not looking for spasmanoid females who regulate pole dance platforms and podiums... reality check... You cant dance...u belong with trance-induced, malnurished ah bengs in their $15 Zoo Yorks and fake-ass New Era lids..the only difference is while they keep pointing in the direction which the emperor used to urinate, u trashbags “dance” pointing to ur “rack” when u got more junk inside ur head than in ur trunk..Go re-think your life, enroll in year long counseling wateva... we're talking Krumpers and Clowns... Harlem, Brooklyn, K-Town the windy city.. Master Cephas, Hidden and the whole pte. ltd laying it down, pick it up if u can..*if u dun know who/wat we are, check this shit out.. http://www.moblog.com.sg/group/blog.asp?gid=19B212DD-6656-4684-8A81-9922A55FA406&tid=AE0EE059-9076-4C57-9C73-0617BD8FDED2 Holla for tix...

Aite...i'm done hating. If you belong to a group mentioned above, go ahead and seeth..like u scare me.. For the rest of youz, the dudes and dudettes i dig, the old GESS crew holding it down.. keep alive.. to the Puunz, your plight is understandable.. lolz! Wuss, i know u arent workin' late nites as u claim.. u bastard... holla... Pete, keep pimpin'.. The band... loads of love..keep doing wat we doin'..coz we luvin' it... Last but not the least, to the royalty that rules my dark, black heart, even more luv nonetheless... u happy now?!

Peace to all I smile to...

2006-02-25T23:57:00.000+08:00

SwaYin" to Kanye West's My Way Home feat Common

Anywayz, the only reason im bothering to come up with somethingz coz the girlfren coerced me into this brilliant idea that i come online juz to "chat" with her... ends up i haf to wait a full friggin' 5 mins b4 i get a decent reply (yes.. stranger things haf happened in this world..Dick Cheney decided to get trigger-happy one moist morning... nothing's perfect)..

And yet, i haf little choice but to communicate online... yes yes... *Triumph accent*.. all together now.. ONLINE...

Enuf on that... i wanna bust a few shout outs to a special bunch... the fellas who made em'selves available for the 13th Feb fiasco...U know who u are.. i juz thot i'd holla at ya'll one more time.. CLinton, Puunz, Wuss, Pete, Sab, Nurul, Shah, Bav, Shivani, Sid, Memz, Vijen, Ayam, Tahira, Puvan...and of course the mastermind the Missus... I know i've called u all bastards countless times for the iPod Nano... and i'll continue calling ya'll bastards... But u my homies... and u know we down.. so if ever yo ass is being chased by a frothing Chihuahua or u r in distressed by something of the same fearsome magnitude, know that i haf yo back aite? And again, thank you.

And yes, i shall deflect any verbal abuse by also stating that i loved the presents made/ bought by the gf... very nice.. yes... I shall treasure them as much as i treasure my blemish-covered rear end...

Been up to nothingz of latez... Alternating between chillin' at home and putting up with whiny requests... Skoolz a real formality this time round... no sense of urgency whatsoever... but so be it.. i'm juz gonna bank in on the excuse that im burnt out...

Will spend the rest of the time waiting for the good movies to come out... Am waiting for Wolf Creek.. and not to mention, X3 and Superman...

Oh and i will state something for the record... i know some of u mite not agree with me on this... but seriously.. some of u Liverpool fans are pathetic... u seriously are.... forfunately not any one i know. And so u know, tho im a Red Devil, i haf unbelievable respect for the Liverpool team... but for a section of u to actually haf the nuts to beseige an ambulance carrying an injured warrior is beyond me... really.. U guyz brought not only shame to your fat yellow-toothed mommas and drunken poppas, but also to the name of Liverpool Football Club... Please show the same intergrity as your players have... No one tried to rock the van carrying Cisse.. may u all be fathers of one-legged, wobble-bottomed kids with the mental capacity of a crowbar... that way u can maintain the family tradition. Cheers mates!

Ok... now that i made at least one relavant point... itz time to head to the bed and await the next brainwave of mine. Peace!

Swayin' to: Avenged Sevenfold's Unholy Confessions

Im so bored at home that i figured i'd kill time by scribbling down pages of my uneventful life... yes...itz the long weekend and i've been stuck at home the past 3 days, grown a beard so thick that only my eyes, nose and mouth stick out (for censorship purposes, no pics will be uploaded). The missus is away being notti as usual, with leaves me and my heavy metal... juz the way i like it...

For those of u who dun know me by now, i hate going out. Seriously... i loathe clubbing, cant stand shopping, despise town...the list goes on... lets juz put it that i hate commitments... (commitments to the gf n a foot-full of bros is fine, but social gatherings sometimes make me sick)

So i guess God works in mysterious ways... hitting me with the infection and fever at precisely the moment where the long CNY weekend begins... Dun get me wrong, IM LOVIN' IT!

U see, my room seems to be the only place where i can shut myself from the outside cesspool of noise...even in my own house, my brothers are watching Kung Fu Hustle on AXN.. (tho i haf to say the movie tickled me, even despite the lack of an intelligent plot) and being bedridden the past few days has made me believe again that there is a higher power watching over me...

So it has been.. for the last couple of days, bliss, for i've not heard things from stuffy fleamarkets like : 1 LOLLA 1 LOLLA..LAI... 1 LOLLA 1 LOLLA...

I tell u, it makes me cringe... to see some 40 year old lout with a combined total of 3 teeth shouting at the top of his voice... a gentle reminder dickwart, if u cant articulate- DONT!

these guys are hilarious... u could be standing right beside them, and they'd still scream as if the louder they are, the higher their chances of reclaiming their testicles.. Well word for u asswipes: I LAWYER 1 LAYWER LAI I LAYWER 1 LAYWER... coz thatz wat u'll be needing once i sue your ass for decimating the beautiful english language!

Can a man get some civilised peace around here damn...

Now dun be hatin' on me juz yet, i aint implying anything... my gal'z a chinese... make that a HARDCORE one... The kind of person who thinks she the incarnate of the Heavenly Goddess of the Fiery Moon and Golden Pagoda Longkang...she'd beat me to a lotus bun.. so yeah... i still luv her to bits...

So in effect, all im saying is that i hate noise... Black Sabbath is da bomb..NIN rocks. but Oprah Winfrey drives me nuts... may all her botox consume her face till she drowns in her own slimey fluids... God u'd hope her huge hair would juz come to life and smother her...

But i doubt that would ever happen... not as long as shez got the support of half a dozen American women who love listening to the plight of others so that they can feel better about their own lives and come there hoping to get free stuff... That, my friend, is NOISE...all the shrills, no thrills..

Where are the days of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air?! what does a brother haf to do to get some good entertainment around here. some black comedy..where be that Rush Hour 3? Jackie?! u there dawg?! Where u at?! go hook up with Tucker.. one more time brother pleeasee.. sheesh... juz that day Tatum tried sending me the Blue Collar Comedy tour sequel... but behold the stability of MSN, i couldnt rcv it...couldnt even send him a msg... and this was after i had watched Chapelle for like the 14th time...

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF LIL JOHN... WHAAATTtttttt!!!

On a more positive note, Singaporeans are finally starting to develop some taste... 6 outta 10 said they enjoyed American Dad.. which is a start... a few more milleniums and they mite juz start to understand Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy or Chapelle...again, Russell Peters is a start, but u guyz should quit using his lines... im like damn... i hear Ah Beng fools trying to imitate his chinese accent.. only thing is, they dun realise they ALREADY speak like that... word of advice... get back into school... please... take out those ear-studs, trade them for pencils (im sure u can fill a pencilcase), ur Nike dunks are way 90s... itz RBK now posers! so go giddem.. quit wasting ur money at 77th Street buying things 77,000 other people already haf.. and enuf of the sharing ur cigs with ur gfs...u dun know how comical u fellas look..how many of ur sticks do u wan her sucking on?! . and start making ur life worth it... please... *sheds a tear*

Aight... i shall continue enjoying the serenity of my lil crib... shout outz to Papz, Wuss (u be gng places homie!) and Tatum( i-owe-u-a-present-i-know-thong).. dun be hatin' aight?

And of course to the missus... missing u loads... Holla!!

PS > for ya'll fools who haf been calling me on my cell with no success, juz drop me a text ai? coz my mobile's wack.. doesnt register incoming calls at times till i manually check the Call register and discover an Easter surprise...

SwAyIn To: Nelly's Fly Away

Itz been a torrid month left behind... least of which the blasted exams are finally over.. And to mark the occasion, my mp3 decides to terminate itself willingly, leaving me having to source for a new one (not to mention better one... i wonder if all my silent prayers for it to crap out actually worked...)

An emotional month.. the passing of Latino Heat... the departure of Keano... The passing of a great man named George Best...

I remember chasing after thai workers during my heydays at CCU going VIVA LA RAZA! haha.. and sure it would send goosebumps up my spine at the Old Trafford faithful chants of "There's only one Keano...". Not to mention my uncles go on and on about one of the greatest talents in the world, who lived up to his namesake...whose black and white videos still occupy a sizeable portion of my video clip collection... The guy who makes Giggs look like one of our Young Lions National team wingers... -_-.. like i say, in the SEA games, they werent the Underdogs... they were just Dogs...

Great men fall... but their legacy lives on forever. What we do in life, echoes in eternity. They still sing songs of Keano and Best. They made people believe in a many great things.. They will never forget them.

And the exams... pffft...

To hell with watever i get. I dedicated each paper to each of the 3.. the other 2 were too horribly done so i just dedicated it to my incompetence... hah!

Alot gng on this dec... holiday cheers the last of my priorites... Therez the gigs at Orchard that me and the band need to sort out... therez the wedding of my cousin's that needs entertainment (ie me)... all enuf to drain me and my vocal chords for the jolly month... bummer...

Muz not forget to neglect the darling... shez been by my side always... itz empty when i dun haf her around... in fact i sit here hoping she DOESNT pop up at my door holding up her pasta delight squealing "surprise"... i luv her to bits... but coming all the way from Toa Payoh to serve a meal makes me wince a lil... Right now im fine with my frozen can of sausages...

Oh yeah, b4 i forget, iLLers are hosting an event this saturday at 2pm at Cineleisure... Hip Hop Battle, ghetto style.. so bring da heat.. i'll be there 4 abit b4 trotting over to bust a couple of rhymes with the band at Far East i think...

Word up to my dawg Wuss.. whose livin' it up in the sunny army island... haha... Oh and special holla to my bro.. Puunz!! FINALLY!!! lolz!! I thot i could finally put ur non-existent love life in a museum! Thank God u pulled one out in the nick of time... to think Ayam just got out of her "attachment" and u got urself into one! Treat her right aight! And congratz my brother from another mother! =)

Mumz over Down Under getting her share of the hiking and stuff... wun see her for the month coz shez heading New Zealand with dad soon after... Travel freaks! So i'll be King at Lakepoint for just over a fortnight.. as good as it gets im afraid...

Shout outs to all the slimeballs and dustbags whom i havnt seen in ages... The usual suspects... Tatum, Wuss, Prak..

And of course, tons of love and sweet nothings to the missus... luv ya!

SwAyiN tO: The Beatles' Twist and Shout

This place aint been moving in quite abit.my bad... im tired of putting the fingers to the keys... as if essays havnt made made me do enuf of that.... pffttt... so i'll keep it short... mite be my last entry for a long time to come.

itz nuthin' but skool and more skool... aint no skool like old skool... and to think some lard bucket with cerebral dysfunction actually had the cheek to put a warped CA Test a day after Hari Raya... u feeble-minded cretin... i wanna see u put a test the day after Chinese New Year... seriously... i dun understand some of u twerps out there... havnt u developed brains enuf to comprehend that some of us might actually not have the time to study for ur sordid test... or did the renaissance juz happen to others... dumb prick..

moving away from people wetter than a haddock's bathing costume..

Band has been silent... the lads are studying too...

Woman has been acting up as usual now and then... makes me wanna sometimes hurl myself out of the window... but i cant coz apparently i love her...

So instead, i amuse myself by taking swipes at her mentally disadvantged childhood frens (taking into account that she mite still be gng thru childhood as we speak)... yes... if u are reading and u happen to fit the bill, im talking about all of u...u steaming piles of horse manure... the ones without a shred of testicular fortitude... and who haf yet to be weened off mummy's breastmilk.. the ones who go crying like a bitch when they are the subject of childish office politics... the one who cant get laid and is contemplating suicide along with his cow-web covered virginity and the potential erectile malfunction... or the giant lark who takes a module for an entire sem and still doesnt know wats going on... or the 4 (make that 3) who cant tell a priest from a serial rapist.. or those who go into an epileptic fit when she cant get the hostel she wants.. and ends up frothing at the mouth like a deranged daxon in itz latter years... i cant wait to see wat happens to u when u go grocery shopping u utter git...

see...i just cant help myself... hahah..i keed i keed..... NOT!!!!

anw, shout out to all ya'll playas out there who i aint got no beef with... hang tight wherever u are... the world IS a shitty place... but we've come this far so it'll be an absolute bugger if we throw it in now...

Much love to the missus... ya'll check out the-illers.com to see wats been up with the crew yeah... till then.. may the Gods keep the wolves in the hills, and the women in our beds... peace.

Running a temperature so bad i feel like i've juz hit by a freight-train.. and my head's as heavy as one of em' Dim Sum Dollies... make that 3-ton-lorries..

Cant explain got an itch on my brain. Lately my whole is to maintain, regain control of my mainframe. My bloods boiling itz bleeding out propane. My train of thoughts more like a runaway train. Im in a fast car driving in a fast lane. In the rain and i might juz hydroplane...

How appropriate..

anwz, forgive the incoherent ramblings of a beached whale with head rush that measures-in decently on the richter scale..

Juz a few shout outs to begin with...

RESPECT.. u are the player that always seems to be there.. hope the monday shift thing wasnt too much of a killer.. if anything, do dance with glee knowing that u haf permanently scarred Bounce..now she'll think twice on "gracing" my occasions.. haha..

Last but certainly not least, to my girl, thnx dearling for always taking care of me and pulling my ears and keeping me off the things that severely shorten my life (basically all the things i like).. wat will i ever do without u hun! Itz coz of u i sometimes feel priviledged when im down with the sickness... u are the angel that can do no wrong...Loads of love from the Lakeside camp...

School's back up and im thriving on it surprisingly.. yeah sure there is plenty to be done.. but nothing this t-14 hyperdrive cant stomach.. nothing that will faze me.. tho the usual Arts eeydeeyots piss me off ever so often, i lost count of the number of fags i pushed to the ground under the pretence that i tripped and fell into ur back... get the msg and stop blocking the walkways with ur "hi itz been so long i havnt seen u in ages, u lost weight, heard u lost ur virginity to a tap-dancing gazelle.." Science losers are equally migraine-inducing.. i swear u fools make my skin crawl.. stop looking at me like im something divine.. or i swear i'll bitch-slap u back to the Ming Dynasty...sod off...

Oh and pple looking for stand up comedy, Forum is holding Jam and Hop, the largest collection of pre-puberty bengs with mascara pretending to be high on weed, and singing like they just found out their mums were actually men... drop the fake accents... i've heard fluid hokkien backstage afterwards.. u disgust me... yes...straddle those Fender Stratocasters and pretend to be "feeling the music"...Keep ur hair in a mop to cover ur hideous features.. I juz saw u guys the other day selling flags along the streets, begging like the sluts u are.. but i guess the high-pitch shrilling during Rag Day kinda prepped u huh?

NUS...

The largest body of insecure adolescent teens who have yet to grow up.. there are tribes in the Amazonian rainforest as yet untouched by civilisation who haf developed more convincing personalities than u.. of course those pple i bother to smile at are ommited from the above acusation.. and of course the small but dominant Gan Eng Seng crew.. hahah... yes, we got this far... there is a God..

Aight aight.. i better hit the sack before those delusions of a Mr.T haircut come to fruitation...

Craving for another trip down to Ritz for dinner.. This time im hogging the grilled lobster.. =P

Apologies for shelling the student population.. they arent as good as i make them out to be... may half of u die young and get run over by brimming cement mixers which are too heavy to run OVER u, so u juz get trapped in the front tyre and get dragged along the highway to a bloody pulp along the skin-exfoliating asphalt... Saves on having a funeral later too.. there'll only be a spoonful of u left to cremate...

Peace.

SwAyIn' To Robbie Williams' Eternity..

Well, in many ways, this is the tag team partner of my bro Prak's latest entry over in his yard... kinda got a lil sentimental after reading his post... haha... im serious... so yeah... herez one to the golden years...

Gan Eng Seng was as good as it could get... how good? well i used to be so comfortable i'd walka round school without my shoes... most of the time it was drying out from playing soccer in the rain... wat started out as going all the way to chinatown day in day out in pursuit of a decent education became just about the best days of my life... and Prak was there every step of the way with me in it... i remember the exploits of the "All Blacks", all finely tuned like it was some back alley mafia organisation... (yes, maybe it was the racism that Prak mentioned)...hahaha... but we engaged occasionally in mortal combat with the other punks in the name of sport... and tho we never really came out on top, we liked it all the same...

Guess that pretty much sums up sec skool life...

wasnt exactly in the best of classes... but the buddies i had around were class... Prak, Faiz to a certain extent, with his zest for the foolish adventures... and the "All Blacks Sports and Recreational Association" - Lutfi, Ahmad Faiz, Mohd Faiz, Irsadi, Prak and myself... of coruse occassionally we had mometary imports during the course of play like Bear and Co... lolz!

Yes i know wat i just said doesnt make sense.. im not gonna bother to explain coz those who were there know... =)

Sec 3 and 4 rocked especially hard... esp during History lessons... i mean... that brought the term "rock" to a whole new level... hahah... so many times i thought i was gonna die laffing up in there... and when i finally find it in me to stop, one look at Puunz, and i'll erupt again... and that would be independent on what Faiz would do next... Accounts lessons were a cheeky affair... most of the times we'd be trying to hopelessly flirt with Mrs Palan.. (note the MRS..we din care)... Faiz was always trying to get fresh, Prak would be flashing toothy grins and smirks while yours truly, bringing up the rear in the seating arrangement of the gruesome threesome, would just sit back and soak it all in... haha

Dun get me started on Maths and Mr Soh (aka Darth Sidious).. but for once in my life, i loved maths... i knew what was going on and i rarely did things other than the textbook suggested... we'll leave my mathematical history as that... from then on it was all down hill... (yeah i aint afraid to say it... im the only living human who can boast getting F9 4 consecutive times for the A Levels... and im darn proud of myself!)

It shows that even in adversity, i made something of myself... lolz!

Soccer was a blast not to mention... started out side by side in defence with Prak... after which i found myself graduating to the forward postions while the bastard stayed where he was... Puunz, rmb our goal count? hahah... mighty impressive for 2 defensive players... we used to be at each other's necks with it... rubbing it in whenever we poached one... the worst was when i would be the one in goal and u'd gleefully score... sonuvabic! ahhh... so it was...Cole and Yorke... no guesses who was Cole... the Human Rat himself.. the only arse zipping about at 90 mins coz he spent the other 89 laying in ambush on the goal line... the only difference being that THIS Cole would more often than not, be on the defensive goal line.. as the forced into action goal-tneder of the team...lolz! Of course there was a period we contemplated putting Ahmad there instead... but a few threats from him to do the Scorpion kick clearance made us question the sanity of doing such...

And of course at the end of everyday, there was still alot to look forward... Puunz and me would normally take the long walk in the searing heat together... behind SGH... towards Outram... where we would yak about the day's events, reconfirm that Faiz was a fool (both A. and M. Faiz)... lolz! and that we were lucky that we din get on the bad side of Munster...(actually, any side would haf been a disaster..the least prettiest being the backside)... and juz harping on the fact that we long for the day that we get laid...

And occasionally, the fool would take the train with me all the way to Jurong East altho his stop was AMK... need i say more... the foundations of Timon and Pumba run deep my man... they run deep... =)

I guess we've come along way since... CJ and PJ respectively... hate the pple there.. at the end of every day finding solace that we were going thru the same battles, altho on different grounds.. and we'd still discuss war tactics...lolz! Life has indeed thrown us different balls...Both Puunz and I.. but on many levels, there is no one who knows me better... no one who completes my sentences for me, no one who reads me like a book.. no one who laffs with me at a joke that hasnt even been told...And something tells me that itz something that will always be there.. Men who have been thru it all together. Men who have had the sweetest of victories, and who have tasted the bitterness arguments..That which made men outta boys... We'll always be a force to be reckoned with.. and u know, in every way, till this day, i dun see 2 guys who are in NUS... i see two guys who were in Gan Eng Seng... =)

And of course who can forget a certain stump who would one day resemble a checker board... and another maniacal T-Rex (no relation to the one in Prak's blog)... but those are stories for other times... =)

Peace...

SwAyIn' To Matchbox Twenty's 3AM acoustic piano...

Wat a bummer of a day....itz the smack of the afternoon... juz got back from gym... and itz raining on and off... had to postpone the trip to go check out my latest target (yes,... the one in the pic below)... juz spruced up the house too.. and sucked my room dry of dust... it better stay that way for the better half of the week... maybe i shall stay home and haf a Rush Hour movie marathon... haha... the missus is out shopping with momma... so hat'll mean i'll haf the whole day to maself... on another day, i wold haf gathered all my players (where ma thugs at?! )haha... but the princess would haf my ear twisted off... so i shall instead pass the time playing scrabble with myself...

ah... Scrabble... now that brings back memories... goddamn... im staring at the score slip for the time Prak and me engaged in an epic battle... the score ended 343 to 346 in his favour! rmb that bro?! haha... shyte... it was a duel to the death.. and i can rmb in recent history ever hafing posted such a score... =)

See how i digress..

yeah so anw, a couple of nitez back was Insomnia... it was kinda nostalgic for me...i gotta say... coz i actually went last year too... with Puunz, Memz and Ali P... but this time round was there to show support as well as share Bouncing resposnibilites with Timon.. haha... i haf to admit. the band that played that nite was solid... tho i din understand a word they sputtered... the energy was there for all to see... and they really engaged the crowd... which was really stoked... was hugely impressed from the last time round where we were reduced to taking digs at the monkey prancing on stage trying to make something of himself.. even had time to catch Hari (a fellow GESS bloke i havnt seen for a long time.. with em cornrows and all now)...

But the only disappointment i guess was that the bouncer i was chatting with said they would be playing Raggae hip hop from 3-4.. which i was waiting for but never came... oh well... never really liked clubbing anyway... wats the point of getting high and feeling mighty when u cant even keep a lid on urself... that watz with the pretence to be really good and get up on the pole when u cant dance for shit and end up looking like a slug getting shock treatments... For the record, Singaporean women cant dance to save themselves... no wonder i see em foreigners smirking to themselves when they look at the local shorties fake orgasmic looks on their faces and squrim about the podium... guess they muz feel that makes them really sexy... word: i've seen sexier things the last time i checked the soles of my shoes...

Skoolz in pretty soon...wish for once that the entire Arts fac will juz grow up and stop being so full of themselves... esp the bitches... i've seen bulldozers in short skirts and advarks in tube tops... sluts...wake up... u wanna make a foolish mockery of urelves, do it in the privacy of the four walls of ur room... and even then, dun wonder why if the paint starts to flake after awhile... u make me wanna hurl...

forgive my language... im in a good mood... u should stick arnd to see when i get foul...

Had a solid jamming session with the band...guys, loved it when we hit Enter Sandman... i've never felt more liberated doing vocals... ahahah... and the rest was good too... Corazon was tight... and so was Anxiety... lets juz clean up the sound a lil and we'll be ready to rock on the 7th ai!! Mad love to ya'll... Za and Nurul, hope u ladies get ur voices back by then... =)

CORS is getting on my nerves as always... to all those nerds logged in 24 hours... herez a spolier for u... YOU WILL DIE ALONE.... and u can take ur imaginary other halves with u...

Juz heard that a smurfs movie is gonna be released soon to mark the anniversary of the cartoon... goodbye Powerpuff, hello communist-undertone cartoons!! Stalin lives!

Just another word to the folks at NKF, go hump a whale... there are poor pple out there so poor that they are forced to have children merely to provide a cheap alternative to turkey at Christmas, and there u are embezzling money given outta goodwill..and to that fool who is at the center of it all, hear this straight from satan's bottom, u are the most over-rated human being since Judas Iscariot won the AD31 Best Disciple Competetion...im so excited to see wat the future holds for thou...may u be indecently assaulted by nine foreign sailors...and haf ur testicles removed with a blunt instrument resembling some kind of gardening tool...

Ok...enuf of the pointless personal attacks...

To the missus, im sorry for my recent spat of violent tendacies and explosive temper..i shall repent...=P . love u lots...

To Puunz, im still awaiting ur debrief report on Operation R2....

Im outta here...

2005-07-20T20:32:00.000+08:00

Allow me to take a moment out of my busy life to weep in public about my current inabililty to purchase this gem that u see above... u see... although i have more than adequate financial resources to capture this prize, But alas, the shackles of an unknown force has been thrust upon me...

Itz beeN aWhiLe...

SwAyIn' To: Run DMC's Walk This Way!! Ol Skool baby!!!! haha

Straight up, i've been way too busy and lazy to pen sump' down... anw everythinz been right aight for the best part of the month... been spending plenty in Helm's Deep...or at least thats wat i call my room now... see yall... i juz painted my crib with the missus... and basically did some heavy renovation... so yeah... itz all dark, gloomy and lifeles... just tha way i like it! yeah! haha... well itz a cool supes blue now... even got my classic SW trilogy posters up... spent another bomb on those... but they look ghetto fabulous on my walls..

Been occupied with the band stuff as well.. haha... prepping for our gig on 7 August... all u b-ballers out there, dun forget, Downtown East> Sunday.. Be there. We'll be jamming all day long too... more details are on The iLlers webby, so holla!

Man i need a break... and itz cool coz me and the missus will be spending a day or 2 over at Sentosa... high time for quailty time...

oh yeah, sidetrack for a lil movie review: Fantastic 4... well... not exactly batman standard.. but it was aight... THere was a fair bit of comic relief in there...which was ok.. Need i say, Alba was da bomb!! ahaha... and it was twice the fun with her in Sin City... that movie is really a breath of fresh air... may it make way for more of itz kind, and at the same time, bump out wack flicks like shit from Hilary Duff.. i mean seriously, which bunch of toadsuckers would haf a family name like DUFF?! it means literally useless... well...at least shez living up to her namesake... i cant stand the biatch... and dun even get me started on J.Lo... that horse belongs in the stables..

Anyway, itz been movie after movie all week long.. finally got down to watching Any Given Sunday. Thx puunz, that was one heck of a movie... lolz! that huge bastard with the face paint who threw the croc into the shower room was hilarious!!

Oh and Head of State was on HBO yesterday... i juz rolled on the floor when Bernie Mac came on and slapped the taste out of everyone... "YOU DUN UNDERSTAND, I AINT SCARED OF U MUTHAF*cKaz"... hahah... But Be Cool din turn out to be as nice... cept for good ol' Cedric the Entertainer... and his homeboy Andre 3000... those fools were nonsence... oh yeah and Vince Vaugh too... pretending to be all ghetto..

Oh and check this... Slipknot's in town... Goddamn.. i gotta go fish out my ol tee of the them! trust me, their concert is gonna be subdued... wat with all the censors hovering close by like a pack of vultures... bollocks... itz the one reason why we'll never see bands like Rage Against the Machine and Avenged 7fold arnd... all we'll get stuck with is Hilart Duff, One Night Only, World Tour... thats like staring at a PSLE Maths paper and going "get the F*ck out".... Or better yet, hold a get-together concert starring all the fags and hoes from Project Superstar. The show pussy-whipped losers go to showcase their "talents", and equally semi-retarded teenage girls with their braces and acne, stay home and vote the worst ones in... That will be nice... yah...

Give me the German men's synchornised swim team practice sessions live on ESPN anytime...

Puunz, hope u are doing fine... thnx again for the heads-up yesterday. I know i can always count on u to keep it real with me...

And for all my players out there, somewhere, be good aight. To me fellow NUS fools, saddle up boys, itz gonna be another long hard road outta hell.. haha... to those who've thrown down the saddle, Celia and co, go get a job! =P And to yall who cant stand me, and who cant stomach it, well I'ma show you what, you gon' feel my rush. You don't feel it, then it must be too real to touch. Peal the dutch, I'm about to tear shit up. Goosebumps yea, I'ma make your hair sit up. Yea sit up, I'ma tell you who I be. I'ma make you hate me, cause you ain't me.

Peace.

ALL HAIL THE GHETTO BLASTER...

2005-06-28T01:34:00.000+08:00

SwAyIn' To Fat Joe's Lean Back

Yeah for all yall who aint got a clue wat that is, a ghetto Blaster is wat old skool crews used to use when they hit the corners to break... or wat deejays in the 70s use to carry arnd on their shoulders, wat with em' cassttes and all... Man... if only i could get myself one of em' boom boxes... trouble is i've been more or less one myself these past couple of days... =P

Been really running me gap off at hi- octane levels. I haf to admit i've been in a rather foul mood as of late... and my poor baby has had to feel the brunt of it... i duno wassup... juz that as of late, i love to hate.. The slightest thing wld send me into a berserker rampage... most of the time it'd be overkill, but yeah... thats been me... seeking and destroying... i feel like Tatum! lolz!

I guess the whole issue of "i owe it to them" really ticked me off. For those who dun get wat im sayin', too bad cuz i aint gonna explain. In a nutshell, i feel that to hell with watever promises u made in the past to whoever. Bottomline is u dun owe anyone shit... if u dun wanna do it, juz fess up and move on with it. NO point biting down and hoping to do a gd job of it. For me itz straight forward, aint no one gonna haf ur back but urself. PERIOD. Aint no one gonna send u a coupon to redeem ur lost grades at the end of the sem. Aint no homie gonna bake u no cookie. U do wat u WANT to do... the word "HAVE" does not exist coz firstly, those pple aint shit to be worried about.. take care of the things most impt to u.

Was chillin' with Wuss that day, and he said it all too well. A certain someone we know... Devotes her life to saving pple in Cambodia, Africa, lifeforms on Neptune yada yada. A peach of a humanitarian. But doesnt give a shit about wat happens in her own backyard. Never looks out for her own family. So wat does that amount to? Bollocks... BUt it aint my place to say watz right and wat aint. Itz juz sad when we try so much to do alot for those far away from us, at the expense of those close by.

For those who think im whining between the lines, u got it bad. I aint one to slobber over life. Life has never been a popularity contest. I never mused about who my real frenz were. Never will. I know, have known the past decade who my real frenz were. My brothers. WHo i'll never forsake. SO there there. haha.

BUt i will go as far as to say i havnt been the nicest of "other halves" to the missus. Im really sorry dear. But im sure by now i made it clear where i stand. Im not an anger-driven lunatic. But trust me, if anyone even harbours attempts to make u do their dirty work, u'll see me shred them molecule by molecule. Im the last person to stand arnd and do nuthin'. You know that im capable of raising hell if i want to. And believe me, the pple arnd u are pushing my buttons.. *devilish smirk*

aight. While im waiting to crack a few Science CLub skulls, i'll amuse myself over the fact that life has been rather good. Spent the last few days with the whigger in red. Homie's got a new pup to look out for now. Juz make sure Bronco aint gonna hump the living daylights out of her.. haha... went bowling too. Going again tmrw.

Gotta find time for a certain slut i call Baracus (u know who u are)!! Bastard! too caught up with ur scandals isit? Dun forget, i was the headman of hearsay... haha... whilst u were the Baron of Bean Spilling... we gotta hook up at least once nigger! keep ur line free... IM COMIN' TO GETCHA *Rambo accent*. It wun be long before word carries news of u deflowering the janitor at the YH toilet... lolz!

I can pretty much say that for the time being, the iLLers are more or less at a standstill for me. I wanna take a break from all the dancing (altho a shitload of shows are coming in) and focus back on the band. Went over to Shah's that day and we worked on refining our first single. I have to say im really proud of where itz heading. In terms of music arrangement and all, i think we've managed to create a new flavour which still bears tints of out own individual flare. And i will say taht not every song will be as straighforward as this one. Juz that as our first single, it really defines us. And that whould be the way it is. Rock On! hah... next up, shall try sump' heavier. I always wanted to go back to the very core of rock. Forget the Avrils and the Seethers for a bit... and remember the Diamondheads and the Saxons.. the grandfathers of rock and metal... lolz! Imagine the big hairs and the tight leather pants! Wicked! haha.

Aight aight.. got plenty of shyte to shovel. For yall who needs work on ur nails, the missus' bro is opening a manicure/pedicure shop (dun ask) at Far East on Friday. So holla and swing by if u can. Peace!

it WaZ a Gr8 2 Wkz... But I muZ FLy....

SwWaYiN To: Dru Hill and Ja Rule's You Are Everything

No mo wakin' up at 7 durin the break bia! the 2 weeks are over and the bird muz once again fly... * a tear in either eye*. I gotta say it was fun while it lasted... tho it was back to the graveyard hours and stake-outs which could bore a hippo... it was nice hanging with Gan, Joe and Co. Even got a bruised rib and an aching body for my troubles and struggles...heh..And they did everything to make me feel as if i never left. Mad props to u guyz, and Meng, thx for the strong letter of reccomendation for that promotion.. hahah... dun think by putting me a rank higher means im gonna come back next time and do even more work... haha... i keed i keed...

Well a busy 2 wks no less..tho i feel quite bad that i missed my bro Wuss's 22nd.. as well as Celia's...gal, my bad..i'll catch up withya soon ai..u haf my word... was the missus' 21st as well... hope i did enuf tho... was kinda tight arnd the schedule and all... esp with me having to be nearby home in case of some poorly timed 24-hours recall stand-by crap... one of the things they shld juz leave the reservists outta... coz it juz aint rite... we served our time. Period. Anw, aint gonna harp on that. Bottomline is i made the best of wat i could, and at least we had a good time nonetheless, not exactly a pimpin' good time, but swell... ai shorty? =)

Momma juz got back from istanbul as well... 2 wks alone there... we were afraid she'd join the local terrorist network or sump', but shez back in one piece... came back with lotsa stuff... for my baby gal, even for HER mom... but aint got squat for me... *apparently i was too fussy in previous encounters*... hahaha... the least u cld do was bring me one of em' Turkish bong pipes... or wateva the heck itz called.. trippin.. yeah yeah..

Hollad it up with Wuss last nite over the phone...been a long time since i laffed my weasly black guts out... Fool was goin on and on about some freak-ass superhero called the Human Ant, whose special talent was digging a hole in the ground and hiding everytime danger came near... lolz! yada yada... and i cracked till i was rolling on the floor... Missed the nigger... wat with him planning his own movie franchise, having enough whacked women on his payroll to last him 10 sequels with one in each... haha...

Prak challenged me to a 2.4 race on the same nite... that guy is losing it... lolz! actually placing 30 on the table for the winner... but i aint gonna call him crazy coz i was the cracker-jack who actually accepted it. Well i can put aside the 30 to hand over to him... itz as good as gone... i may haf pulled a better IPPT timing, that that dun mean shyte when u are running circles arnd a mundane track, with his black ass breathing down ur crack... trust me, i've felt it... it'll make Vietnam veterans cringe... so 4th July it is... guess momma better start printing money for real if i take up dares at this rate.

The lady's goin' for her camp nxt week... cant say im all too thrilled.. knowing how dense and utterly senseless science pple can be... there is a reason they haf to rely on a calculator to bring in the grades... and it din help when one of em 90-degree-angled gorblocs actually made my princess stand alone in an alley... NIgger, i dun care who u is, ima crack ur skull open and have the contents for breakfast (tho i doubt there'll be much to make a meal of)... one more time u pull a stunt as brainless as that, i swear i'll put u in ICU for the nxt 3 years MININMUM... trippin... coz when it comes to violence and bloody brutality, i am the president, i am the emperor and im the king. Mess with my woman one more time and u gonna go front row on my massacre extravaganza...

Aight... im cool...fo now...

Gotta meet up with em hommes soon... u know u guys are... await my call aight... haha... go catch a movie or sump'... been seeing a shyteload of good movies lately... Batman was the bomb... i think Christian Bale more than atoned for the sins of George Clowny...and Michael Caine was superb... By far the best Batman flick in a long time...up there with the ones Keaton did... Madagascar was another stopper... i was laughing like a fool! it had everything... too bad it was kinda on the short side.. Ben Stiller and Chris Rock were class... and there was of course Cedric the Entertainer and that other cracker-ass indian sounding raccoon thing which reminded me of Russell Peters... hahaha... a blast... go catch it...

Tmrw's Fathers' Day... Big Up to the Papa Bear! The Mac Daddy of the Empire! Luv ya loads!

SWayiN' to ThE BeAt oF: Rage Against The Machine's Guerilla Radio

The night before was a night of finals... some swayed my way, others didnt... First up, BIG Shout out to all u Liverpool die-hards out there... Brilliant stuff.. coming from a Devil, I give u guys all the respect u deserve. Truly a night to remember in Istanbul. To those who waited the full 21 years to witness last nite, i would say it was all worth it. Brings us back to the time of the wobbly-legged Grobbelar in goal. Yesterday nite was more than just about football.. it was putting to rest the rust and reclaiming the number one prize in Europe. And who better to do it than the original Kings of Europe. Ferguson once conceded that his first aim at United was to mould another Liverpool of Europe. Mad Props to all u Scousers who were chanting "we're gonna win 4-3". Dreams can come true... right dear? =P

Came on the back of The Ceasar's Palace Grand Finale of the Contender... Sergio "The Latin Snake" Mora. Convincing pummeling of the Pride of Providence. But all i can say is that altho i had Manfredo's back, the better fighter of the night won, no one should take that away from him. Not to mention Alfonso beat the daylights out of Jesse, and watching his rather masculine looking wife squirm and haf her face resemble a 1876 tombstone. I swear, at times, i thot they were focusing on Sly, until i notice the rather dis-similar hair-do... lolz!

Well no real surprises that Britney won Idol. Something about Americans and their love for anything blonde and a big haired. Better a singer she mite be (but i haf to admit on occasions, i thot i was catching a Discovery Channel Special on Horses Pregnancy), she is hardly the performer. Hardly moves arnd stage for fear her implants might shift. To me, Bo might not have won, but he didnt need it anyway. Here was someone who carried the audience on his shoulder with every performance.. Who shined as he shouted. Who made my hair stand. MY hair stand. The last time i rmb that happening was when Marilyn Manson started reciting sonnets... Anw, bottomline, Bo rocks, his will be the first ever Idol album i pay money for, and Carrie can go join Ruben singing about his dreams... for they will remain just that... wouldnt hurt if she ballooned to his size too... Aight aight i keed i keed. Congrats Carrie. U won. But the title of Idol doesnt mean anything. It din mean that it made Taufik any more of a man than it did making Arnie a pansy in Kindergarten Cop...

Ok...the temperature has dropped a notch...

Big up for my cuz...dude is finally getting engaged this saturday. Here is the man, who i used to stay and grow up with, who, when i was 2, started me on Duran Duran, Culture Club, Michael Jackson and basically kick-started my passion for music. Bro, i know u already got ur engagment present at Istanbul, but i think we all know that the best present is the one who is gonna be standing at the other side. Happy for Felicia and you... and truly, You'll Never Walk Alone... heh... =)

Trying to find the time for my next Revenge of the Sith viewing... but hardly finding the time for it.. With E.O.A practice picking up, i haf yet to finalise the lyrics for our gig in July.. Itz gonne be massive and i'm gonna haf to really step up my game...

Was telling my Baby K that i am seriously considering shelving iLLers as far as dancing is concerned. I haf totally no interest in joining no useless comps like Funka. Wat does Funka do anyway? i havnt seen any of the winners like those WaterBabes in the dance circle anywhere. Comps dun mean squat. Not to me, not to Wil and the rest. So i certainly dun haf the slightest incliantion to wanna haf to prove that i can hold mine together on stage. Im more myself on stage than i am off it.. thats all u need to know. So yeah, on that note, just thot i'd put the music of the band b4 the dance. MCing and all, im down anytime. No rehersals required. 5 mins b4 we are dued on-stage, just tell me wat to do. I dun believe in scripts anw.

Plenty on my plate, time is always the enemy. Just hope reservist doesnt throw me off the rockers too much u dig... im not hoping to foil terrorists, nor bring balance to the Force... simple and sweet, knock off on time when im supposed to... no questions asked. i've rcvd my awards for playing supercop more than enuf... now i'd juz rather be Sean Connery in Indy and go "Junior!".. hahaha...

*Yawnz*...raining yet again, and here i am trying to drown out the neighbour's KTV music with a docile blend of Chingy, Fabulous, Youngbloodz and Twista..and yeah..u guessed it...CRUNK!!! Now how do u like it when i drop em' beats that hot... hahah... REMIX!!! =P

Peace!

The Circle is now complete....

Swayin' tO ThE BeAt Of: John William's Battle of the Heroes

Firstly, all u Star Wars fans out there who are reading, fret not, there are no spoilers... hah... i mean... seriously... i think we all roughly know the story... itz the details which make the movie one of the best i have ever seen.... And boy was i blown away! From the opening to the final credit. my eyes never left the screen.. well ok maybe a couple of times to glance to look at my own princess... Episode 3 was definitely worth every day of the 3 year wait.... i was speechless... and till i go for the 2nd of many screenings, i shall juz wait in agony...

The acting was flawless. Obi-Wan could not have been played better. Anakin's betrayal to the dark side could not have been told better. The music score could never have been written better. The script could not haf been drafted better. For the cast of the movie, your names will go beside those of Carrie Fisher, the legendary Sir Alec Guiness, Mark Hamill, the one and only Harrison Ford, David Prowse and countless others. You truly have kept the Star Wars flag flying high... If only i could describe the feeling when they played Duel of the Fates during the fight scene... *jaw drops to floor*

No generation to come should ever be deprieved of the chance to watch such a spectacle!

*gasp*

OK... i shall try to move on to other things...

Great news for all the true blue rockers out there... Bo Bice is in the final 2 of Idol! I know itz a cheesy show... and i never really bothered about the previous seasons... but this season, Bo has really caught me... i mean... performing that Badlands number.. it made my hair stand... that power resonating in his voice, balanced beautifully with that composure and assurance of pressence... amazing... he is so much more than a singer and a performer. Sure the Vonz can sing... but she is just a singing machine... nothing more.. Carrie is ok... but i think neither is anywhere close to Bo. He sings effortlessly. and tells u a story of his life as he goes along... phenomenal... if he doesnt win, it will confirm my worst fears that Americans have no idea wat they are doing... here is a person who is the symbol of what the country is about... so do the right thing... i implore u!!

Episode 3 rocks to the bone!! What a way to go!!! and the best part is Lucas is thinking of spinning off a mini series!!! *gushes* imagine watching new eps of SW every week!! Mind-blowing!!!

Ok i digressed again... back to stuff... reservist happening on 30th May... 2 weeks back at J... afterwhich will really be a busy spell... Shorty'll be having ICS camp, followed by Science camp... prolly wun see her for like an entire fortnight or so... just great... well... all the more reason i should spend more time with her b4 i go in... and anyway, after her blasted Science camp is over, im gonna demand that we take a short vacation away from all this nonsense... itz crazy the amount of things she has to do... well, i suppose i'll use all that free time i'll have to make a quick buck or 2 so that our weekend getaway is gonna be an even bigger blast. And im gonna leave the hps behind. Its just gonna be the 2 of us... no science club freaks, no no one! So listen up ya'll who are planning to get to her, unless u wanna see me back in the dark side, i suggest u stay the hell away! hahah...

Im outta here... oh btw, just in case u guys dun know yet... REVENGE OF THE SITH IS THE BOMB!!!!!

WATCH IT, YOU MUST!! -Yoda

I laughed, even teared a lil... and the goosebumps on me was enough to lift the sleeves off my skin... BRILLIANT!!! Stang i wanna watch it again!!!

RiSe LorD VaDeR!!!

SwaYin" to The BeAt of: BEP's Anxiety

been a long day... so i juz thot i'd let one fly, itz been awhile too... guess i've been kinda tied down... in every possible sense of the word... hahah... i keed i keed...

Well juz got back from a so-called long overdued "family day"... was kinda nice tho... morning i had to scamper over to Shah's for a quick practice for the gig in July... was juz finalising the playlist and going thru the motions... now i know why rappers dun hit the hood till itz way past dinner time... howz a nigga gonna rap with the sun shining in his eyes?! hahah... in other words, i was rustier than a 13th century battle armour. couldnt get a beat in time, cldnt bust a rhyme in tune... i need help... i blame the academics i say!!! Blasphemous books i say!!!

Moving along...

Headed to Dempsey for lunch afterwards... my parent's old haunt, as well as the witness to many of dad's uncontrolled, alcohol-fuelled one-sided debates with his reflection. Food was good, tho the toilets kinda spoiled the mood at midpoint... But it was all made up for with the insults i was dishing out to momma... seemed like the old lady was slightly off-form... man i miss em' days where we'd have a verbal joust (to which mostly i wld end up head hung low, lips quivering)... hahah... Good times i will never forget...=)

Dropped off later to watch Kingdom of Heaven.. Brilliant movie!! One of the better ones I have seen in recent times. The musical score, as of most Ridley movies, left me with goosebumps! solid story, juz like the rest of the guys told me... Orlando, gotta give him props for the role he played... the bugger knows wat he is doing... Thoroughly enjoyed it! Speaking of movies, the movie to eclipse all movies is 3 days away!!! DO WHAT MUST BE DONE - Palpatine. Man i cant wait no more!!! i have been watching re-runs of the trailer every day for 2 months since Prak first sent it to me!! NOOOOooooo.... but its finally within sight! I can smell Corcuscant from here!! Again, im gonna have to shower my baby with kisses and lots more for getting the tix for the earliest possible showtime available... Dear, i really duno wat to do to u... i thot i was insane... but u just take the cake, and i love u every second for it! And dun worry, i aint gonna turn to the dark side... heh... and even if i did, rest assure that i'd pull through when im needed the most... (prefably not anywhere near a Death Star powercore... lolz)

Still cant get the gross scenes of the Exorcist outta my head... I know i bought the vcd in hopes of watching it again... but i never got to taking it out... not until that fateful friday, where my princess came over and said, in a sweet and melodious voice, "Hey lets watch Exorcist. Why? Scared ah?". That was it. 15 mins later, it was grooving to the eerie sounds which reminded me all too well of the times i used to squirm as a young impressionable boy. That thick green puke. That look upon that hideous face that reminded me so much of an angry mum i used to have. Of course shez still arn... juz that she aint that angry now... Ahahaha.. so yeap... had to endure the sickening sights and sounds from wat used to be a very comfortable bed for me... now more affectionately known as the crib of creeps... golly i wonder when the telly is gonna switch on by itself and intro me to that ghastly face i haf grown so fond off over the weekend... IT BURNS IT BURNS!!! lolz!

Been an eventful week. Back to training with the iLLers, occupying myself with tons of things, putting aside a lil time for getting back in shape.. bring back out em' size 28s! lolz! actually i coudl be bothered too much... i already know that the 2 upcoming weeks of reservist will pretty much drain me of every ounce of fat, not to mention the vibrancy and vitality, leaving me a lifeless shell of my former self.... aight im over-doing it... but u get the drift... basically leave me zombie like...

Ah well, take it in the stride i suppose... Juz hope i manage to get back my 9-5 shift.... oh, and for those who are wondering wat kind of sissy cop works 9-5, i meant 9pm-5am shift... where all the fun and action is! then at least i can still carry on my normal life during the day, caped crusader by night.... WHHHaaaattttt!!!! U HeeaaaarrrDDDD?!!!! WWhhhhaaatTTT!!!

Peace...

SwAyiN' To tHe GrOOvE oF: Usher and Monica's Slow Jam

Man this song never sounded better... April has brought March to an end...an eventful March i mite add... taking the seing over to exam time...the period to hammer home those readings never touched, those notes never understood, those tutorials never done... time to get down and dirty... time ta start trippin'....

I wun rub on what ima do to prep myself... i think a tad too many has been said, but never gotten to... so ima juz leave it as that...do watcha gotta do, and let everything else slide for abit...

Im juz glad the storm is over...bring on the hurricane...

Itz been a testing month... to al yall who haf been in company, couple of shout-outs... juz to letcha know u playas still in my game...

To Prak, Bro, itz been tough on us all... we've been thru the worst toegther, and emerged to tell the story...itz got to the point where the shit we share gets freaky to the point of telepathy...lolz! itz been a blazin' decade being ur comrade.... rocky as the path behind might seem, these feet haf walked it all... we've suffered cuts and bruises like no other... and it always warms me to look up and see ya there to give me that smile which says "im right here"... u the bomb, and will always be... WE RIDE TOGETHER, WE DIE TOGETHER, BAD BOYS FOR LIFE... =)

To Wuss, Dawg, u continue to stun us all, u goin' places...so keep up the kick-arse...bring in da noise and bring down the house.. God knows we've shared the same sinking ship long enuf... but it was and always will be a pleasure to go down with u and the other 2... So keep doin watcha doin', keep that Crunk volume on max and take life by the neck as u always do! What!!!! U heard!!! WHAtttt!!!! hahah.. Pisss!

To the t-72, the man who knows not how to tremble, who laughs in the face of death, and drops ice cubes down the vest of fear...hahha... u will always be the unblemished hull that keeps us all in check... the rock of the clan... i smile back on the days we used to terrorise the helpless... good times.... and good times to come... thanks for everything... thanks for picking me up all those times where even i cldnt feel my downward spiral... Mad respect to u bro....

To my Princess, the one who makes me savour every breath i take... u came into the fray, picked me up and told me to soar... I never thot i'd be lucky enuf to find someone like u.. in a seabed full of thorns and perils unknown, u took me in ur amrs and showed me how a life can be beautiful in all its simplicity. Thanks for taking me along on the journey. U haf no idea how much i love u dear... for all that u are, all that u are not... and all that u will be... when im with you, my mind is not my own...=)

To the old hag who somehow finds it easy to love me, u will forever be a fat sack of mouldy mushrooms in my eyes, but in my heart, u're the most beautiful woman alive (of course now u share that title with my KaiKai...) hahah... u never seem to run out of energy, nor the love and care that u give so effortlessly. U showed me wat love can do, and to trust in it to light our darkest hour. U will continue to remain my inspiration, and my source of strength. I am who i am today becoz of u and that bear u call a husband... rest assured fables will be told to generations to come... about the mum that became a frend, and the frend that became my everything.

Word out to Peter and the Crew, never fail to take on hardships that come our way... everything we do in life will come back to us in some form or another. The iLLers is more than a crew, and we haf to believe that... itz a sanctuary where we can fly. A big crunk shout out to Pete Hustler, the man with the Plan, u are disgustingly phenomenal... im lost for words.. u brought the iLLers on ur back and took us to where we are today... Respect pimp-daddy! keep on pimpin' baller!

Aight... make that the first ever entry that has gone all jello on the sides... my players make me who i am... never let there be any doubt abt it... life is watever u make it out to be... u cld be living in a cardboard box with the one u love and feel like the luckiest man in the world... how do i know that? coz rite now, i m the luckiest man on Earth... for as long as i please... =) Peace yall...

SoMe PeOpLe Want it aLL, But I DuN wANt NotHinG aT aLL, If i AinT GoT U...

SwaYing To ThE BEat oF: Alicia Keys and Usher's If I Ain't Got You

Chilling about in skl now...itz been a long week academically...but somehow, it seems that the juz fly by in other aspects... itz been so long since i felt this way, that for a moment, i had to spend the mornings staring at the bathroom mirror asking myself if this was really happening... surely not.. i mean...for real?? I dun mean ta be hating... but this sort of thing avoids me like the plague... life had been, till now, too perfectly horrible i was actually getting used to it....

Now all i wanna do is get to school... i wanna jam it on hard for all my papers, and i wanna make smt out of a sem that has till date been slowly but steadily slipping out of my hands.... it has always been under control...but it could haf been better... it always can be better... and now i think that it can't get any better than this... not this...=)

Lights seem brighter, the dimness doesnt get me down. I go to sleep knowing the purpose of tmrw... the feet are light, they drive forward without effort. Even more terrifying, i actually bother to wake up early and with a jump..Momma's saying i lost it completely... grinning and walking arnd the house like a man with nothing to live for.... ON contrary...i haf everything to live for... and i havnt lost anything... i gained...The heart beats loud and strong... ready for the next challenge...come what may....

She is so beautiful....

i really hope the sem continues upward from here... im gonna do all i can to make it happen... The iLLers are going so many places itz scary....i duno how many times i haf said this...but seriously, its doing so well that i haf often thot abt quitting skl to do it full time... a weekend packed with 3 big-ass shows one after another... thats juz madness... itz insane... in every good way possible to imagine... Already this weekend im forgoing something like $400, and it'll only take like 20 mins of my time... talk about reasonable rates...

Ah well...i aint gonna let it get me down...at this point, i dun think anything can.... But one thing i gotta keep in check, gotta keep the Empress Dowager appeased...she knows smt is up... she can feel it when im up to smt... hahaha... anw it high time i spent some time with the folks... they still mean everything to me... oh yah...and my pesky bros too... they can tag along if they want..

So yeah...im a happy thug for once... i dun need to wear no ice to bling no more.. shez there beside me to shine for me... and i'll be there to hold her hand... So yeah, Nozzy Nozzzferatu juz went sunshine... =)

She is so beautiful...

Whatt!!! well, when shyte like this goes down, there aint no point yapping on and on abt wat happened...and frankly speaking im too lazy... hahah...all i can say is that we did our thang, and we gonna get paid good for it.

SwAyIn' to ThE BeAt oF: Corey and Lil Romeo's Hush Lil Lady

Still tryin' ta get back my...colour... after 2 days straight out in the blistering sun.. but it was worth it...great kick off to tha week with the ICS crew over at Sentosa...had loads of fun with the guys...appreciation outta each and everyone of them for a phat time.. burnt like 4 hours at the beach with them... so i cant really complain can i? esp when there was this one that really really caught me off-guard... well.. i cant say much now..for fear of attracting rumour vultures..and also coz i dun really know her well but im praying that tha'll change..but lets juz say im starting to like pink... U heard?!?!! =P

Also got wind of the video of our sunday gig... and to be honest it turned out better than i had initially thot... thing was that while we were doing our thang, i cldnt hear shyte coz the amps were all maxed out and there were none that actually faced us...which meant all i cld sync with were the drums...of which the bass drum pedal snapped halfway thru our set... so basically i was flying blind... turned out that the sound was quite full...guess all those jamming sessions kinda paid off in the end... managed to hold the vocals together in such extreme weather conditions... itz looking good...

Just learnt from Peter that the Singtel show on friday is confirmed... which means more practice... darn...juz when i thot i cld take a break from all this and get some work done.. but hell, the money is too good to pass... and besides, itz juz a 5 min set...no biggie... we'll prolly juz pull out a freestyle/battle routine and be over with it... the only worry is that the place will be swarming with Taufik and Sly fans... coz hell no, i've seen em looney armies armed with fan pin badges and hand drawn banners..

well on to stuff which doesnt really make the skin tingle..will haf to find the time to sit down with momma and work on Ling's proposal...dun really wanna leave that gem hanging too long... another project to add to my growing list... oh groovy...

which reminds me...i hafta go hunt for a display case for my newly accquired, highly valuable lightsaber... hahah. yeah u heard rite..cant stand the sight of such a valuable item lying arnd without a case to house it...it deserves better treatment than me honestly... im talking King Koil pocketed spring lining, shatter-proof, flame resistant glass with reinforced frame. If one of em' nukes went off, she'd be the only thing left standing...well that as well as Prak's do... lolz!

well...was hoping it'd be one of em weeks where this dawg just gonna hang and holla from his yard... but say it aint so...coz therez plenty of barking to be done... so as always... make love, not war... and if the beat alright, she gona dance all nite..so express urself... u heard?!?!

Beach bums for the wkndz....

"dude, i just got hit by this knarly wave dude, and it like totally bummed me out dude..." *spaced out australian surfer high on hand-processed weed accent*

itz gonna be a holiday week fool of...my bad...full of essay assignments beckoning me like street side hoes... and i seriously need to get down on it... for the sheer fact that after the term re-opens, i'll haf plenty of meat on my plate to deal with...

For one, there'll be the recording of our cd... thats gonna be like a major thing for us... itz always gonna be starting out small for the band... but wat a way to start if we can do it by featuring on a cd alongside artiste like Too Phat... now thats phat my man.. i mean.. i'll come straight out, Too Phat aint that tight...but we gotta be realistic... going regional on a small scale is def the way up to go... so we're gonna take it on... i've already finalised the lyrics for out featured single... sorta Jay-Zish feel to it... will try ta bring in the rock element fo sure... coz we r a numetal band and thats gotta show...plus i haf this renewed inclination for screaming ever since my satanic version of Creed's What If today... hahah... rawk on! EoA is goin' places... and im glad to be on board... itz a blessing to do vocals for a bunch of pple i haf come to call my second family...

Oh not to forget the other second family that i have...

On that note, apologies to ya'll for the cancellation of class today...we juz had so much shyte to do...so we din want u guys to come down and get short-changed...but then again u guys aint even paying nothing! hahaha...i keed i keed... im sure u know Master Shifu Wilson and me always give it 110% everytime... thats the only way u are gonna make it in dance... pushing urself to the limit and then telling urself that aint the limit...

ai ai... a final, but most impt word out to all my ballers.... for all u numbnuts who actually had the cheek and the nerve to share the cost and get me a $1000+ bday gift, u guys are insane!!! i had no clue Wilson cld find so many of u mindless yobs!! wtf!! u guys grow money or wat... coz if u are, i want in! but seriously... u guys are insane... the cake and all was smt i cld stomach... and it was more than enuf... u pple had to take it a step further din cha? huh? din cha? well... know this... payback's a bitch! but seriously... thx u guys so so much.. u can rest assure ima protect that thinfg with my life...hahah...

So yeah...mad love and respect to all who made it possible... in no order of merit here: Wilson, Queeny, Jini, Clinton, Prak, Pete, Shah, Zaridah, Zhenhao... and all u other countless ones who chipped in... im guessing here coz Pete refuses to let me in on this.. but here goes: Lovynn, Hamzah, Azi, Mel, Angel...im sure there are more... but i just cant get all of u in here...

So irregardless, mad love to all my players...ima get emo here for once...

To my 4 Horsemen, the vintage crew that i haf kept toegther with for close to 9 years now... Clinton, Wilson, Prak and myself... u guys are all that i am...not to forget my dearest Yew Tee Beauty Queeny, u're a speacial one too... and u know it...

To my iLLers family, u guys are always gonna be part of who i am... so Pete, Lov, Ham, Azi, much love and respect out to ya...lets keep at it...one crew, one groove... thats all it is baby...

To my EoA family, taking performing to a whole new level... tis year has been an experience... u guys are the fuel for the fire... Shah, Zaridah, Sab, Nurul, Wilson and Xiong..true blue rocks of rockers...

SwaYiN' To Da BeAt Of: Jin's Senorita

Been a shit-long time since i got down ta doin' this thang...been kinda bee to the zee...life aint as mapped out as it used to...with clusterf*ckz always round the curb waitin' ta mess with u... but itz awite... coz i got my homies packed up with me... always ready for battle... so ima pay homage to my posse... word out to the 4 Horsemen... yeah...The G.E.S.S Old Guard...every cat has gotta haf his back covered... in case some other cats try ta smoke ya... hahah... Prak, u know wat im yakking abt.. rmb Shaft? =P

So yeah...To Wilson The ShowStoppa, To Prak the unholy, purity-preaching warrior from the abyss andto the T-72 himself, Clinton, thx for hafing my back all these years... Itz been a long ride, but a fun one with u players around! You guys are my brothers from other mothers...=P

Projects are beginning to pour in... but i think so far i've got the crosshairs more or less locked in.. still lazing abt here and there tho... shyte... things with the iLLers has slowed down ever since the 3G launch... in fact i juz missed the press conference today.... but Peter went down so I hope we snagged something outta it... and more imptly get paid for the dungball we had to go thru for the filming... the smell of the green bill can cover any stench...you heard!!!!

Well as that one settles, the action with the band starts kicking off....jamming again this sat...and im still burning my cells trying ta figure how we are gonna lug Wilson's turntables without causing too much of an uproar... itz quite a hassle dragging the monsters all the way to Yishun and back again week in week out... but once we hook it up, and the session kicks into over-drive, then all is forgotten... haha...speaking of which..i still haf yet to finalise the lyrics to my rhymes... darn... need inspiration and pronto... very soon when recording starts, im gonna be doing a Fisticuffs impro... assured to make the album go double uranium...

Work has begun too on the grp's video...done no doubt by wilson and his crew of DMD fanatics... word out to em' for lending in a hand on this... hope it turns out well.... Meanwhile my homie Wilson is off to attachment at MediaCorp and im running over to his crib on short-notice to do voice-overs for "Gan Cheong Kin"... how i haf stooped so low i will never b able to comprehend... but the day i hear my voice on TV Mobile is the day i know i've lost it for real....

which reminds me...i've been spending way too much time in front of the TV... sometimes the stuff on the telly is juz pure phat... like that day Peter and I were catching MTV's Lil Jon speacial... that shit was tight... and not to mention staying up late into the nites to watch United destroy Arsenal and watch that sick-shit Clusterf*ck Ashley Cole dive like a bitch... *shakes head* Silvest shld haf headbutted him too on his way out...and not to mention that sissyboy Reyes pretending to have testicular fortitude by tackling...in the end he just looked ridiculous.. lolz! "I WUN BE PUSHED AROUND LIKE I WAS THE LAST TIME"... yeah but of course...this time u'll be SHOVED around and haf ur nuts handed back to u at the end of the match.. Wat a going-away prezzie for my cuz who is leaving back for Aussie tmr... told ya u shld never bet against the Gooners losing at home! highBURY...ASHburton... u guys juz love giving urself names that seem to indicate rot and decay duncha? hahah...nah...juz takin' the mickey outta u Arse fans out there.. u know i love them... =) i keed i keed...

Ai ai...enuf of the attacks, ima get back to by back-breaking tasks and leave yall to ur own devices...to all those whose forefathers arrived from up North centuries ago, haf a blast of a New Year.. and to all those other shamless ones feeding off the complimentry holiday, give urselves a deserved pat on the back... Peace!

SwAyiN' To tHe BeAt oF: Metallica's Fade to Black

Cant really rmb much that happened the past week... muz be all em' headstands... resulting in short-term memory or smt... the last i recall was friday where i actually had the nerve to haul myself to school just to play soccer... turned out to be a complete disaster coz i was firing blanks all evening long... and i think my recent mood juz totally transferred onto the playing surface... stray passes... weak shots, poor touches.. the whole package of absurdity... the only thing outta it all was laffing at the blokes and hanging out a lil with Prak...smt i havnt been doing recently... but it was good.. cant say it was a waste when u sweat it all out and ache at the end of the day... a good ache of course...

A Sunday to top all Sundays....damn i should haf more of this... barrelled outta bed at like 8.... yeah 8...not 7.57, not 8.03...but 8...went down to Yishun to meet up with the rest of the band for jamming as well as preparing for our onslaught on thursday... lets just say i have never sung the way i sang.... lets recap the songs that we did...Broken by Seether, Bring Me to Life...What If by Creed.. yup... pretty much... no wonder I cld pull it off...pretty much related to all the tunes we pulled...whihc was nice of course... only thing is i din really keep it under control... so the throat is feeling the brunt of the torture that i put it through...which is fine... as long as i dun end up sounding like Tyson after a dental checkup...

From there i rushed down to Raffles where the trial classes were goin down...gotta say i was impressed by the turn out... Wilson had already finished with his class so it was a bummer i cldnt assist...most of the students were young gals... with the exception of Clinton, the bloke came down to add some spice to the atmosphere, and that he certainly did... along with his adorable cat... man it was soft to the touch... but then again the shedding was getting a lil too much for the nasal sensitivity... but it was all fun... my cuz came down as well to lend some muscle... was nice to see him afer a long time as well... Thx for coming down for that lil while bro... always is nice chilling out with ya...=)

Day before was spent at Ramakrishna Mission doing voluntary work with the ICS pple... that was a real blast... we had soccer with the kids... altho i cldnt really enjoy that much wat with the swollen toe and all... Had a ball with the games that followed tho... Up the irons to my bro Prak for calling me along.. but man i tell ya those kiddos were no joke... they must haf been brought up in the ghetto or sump' coz the blows that they landed were ruthless... no doubt future thugs of our society... hahaha... i keed i keed....

Oh well... tmrw is another long day at school... somehow im dreading it all... havnt been getting down to any of the readings yet... which is scary considering the fact that i intend to build up on whatever i achieved last sem... so yeah...better switch my lights on or as the Jigga Man would say "bounce on the double, put the pedal to the floor." whhhaaatttttt!!!!

The week will fortunately end for me on tuesday...with iLLers practice to sum it up, before i start intensive practice for thursday's auditions... really hope i can bring it one more time... all i haf to do is think negative and let it come through in my vocals... hahaha... thats the only way anyone can ever get me to scream like Chester... i can do it... juz that i gotta be in the zone... u know wattam sayin'? Haaaeeeeyyyyyyy!!!!

well..watever really... Dirt off my Shoulders... feel free to check out the gruesome pics of Sunday's classes on our iLLers MoBlog site:

http://www.moblog.com.sg/group/home.asp?gid=19B212DD-6656-4684-8A81-9922A55FA406

So till then, peace yall... and remember wat Marshall Mathers once said, u only haf one shot...

SwAyIn To ThE BeAt oF: Twista's Overnight Celebrity

And here i was yapping and yakking abt how dance is gonna be the death of me soon... before u know it, wa-la! im getting involved with E.O.A and their upcoming gigs... (anyway juz for the record E.O.A is a Nu-metal/rock band with my bro Shah and Za in it...)...Basically i'll play vocals since i aint shot on anything else... that aint the point... practice sessions are twice a week... on top of iLLers practice...

Digress: Stuff at the iLL camp havnt been exactly smooth...cracks haf always been...and itz seriously rocking the foundation quite a way... juz came back from the Singtel vdo shoot... went ok... will be getting our fat cheque soon i hope... hope we all turn out fine in front of the lense... that aside shit is really piling on me... will hope it gets resolved soon... at the end of the day i juz wanna do ma thing, get my geez up and holla back when im needed... simple as that...

so yeah... that aside, im doing the whole band thing coz itz a passion that wun die... moved on from the lovey ballads and trying smt that i've yet to break my head on...busting a rhyme or two... juz hope im up to the band's level of play... which is high... the last gig was enuf to convince me this shit is phat... and itz gonna take more than shoddy vocalising... i'll need to guzzle boiling tea to destroy my vocals enuf to carry off tunes that involve screeching like a hyeena giving birth to an elephant cub...go imagine...

Gonna spend the next few days lost in writing the lyrics, as well as ease some of the tension of recent events...im not one to moan out loud... walls aint sound-proof... hahah

Gotta get down to reading too... mods arent exactly light this sem... shitload of pouring over text involved... tmrw is soccer time at NUS...but i haf a feeling i gotta give it a miss again to take care of personal shyte...Damn i forgot when was the last time i actually kicked arnd a ball and said to myself how the guys i play with can win the Tiger Cup without batting an eyelid... oh and while im on the topic, winning the Tiger Cup dun mean shit so dun go arnd thinking ima feel proud of u guys... i'd rather play 7th choice keeper for Uganda then for the national team... go smoke yourselves...

got the sudden urge to take on the entire extended LOTR triology rite here rite now... which will mean i'll be done at arnd 3pm tmrw... hahaha...anything to see Saruman whimpering like a bee-yatch and dying the way he did... pfft...

Word out to all yall interested in just making ur pressence felt...Sunday, 2pm, Raffles Place Coffee CLub (right outside Raffles MRT), Free Trial Classes conducted by the iLLers... bring ur homies with ya... no strings attached...

SwAyIn' To The BeAT of CrEEd's What If

OK first up, hearts out to those who lost in recent events... Life is precious... and sometimes we gotta be reminded of that u dig?

itz been a busy and sapping couple of days post-xmas... having probs with CORS din help matters at all... wel at least i can take heart in that smt we pulled off on 30 Dec. Location: JJC Graduation Nite. Hightlight: Eye On Ayeesha blowing the crowd to smitherins! It truly was a day to rmb... never did i expect JC kids to bounce to beats... but they did... and in full force at that... much love out to my sisters Za and Nurul, and my brothers Sabri and the great Shah lastly but not least. And of course the frontman of Unforgiven Theorem who lent us his vocals... much respect. We rawked the house and razed it to the ground! uh-huh!!!!

Another reason to cheer, nabbed myself the gold and a much-needed $400... was planning to juz skip the test altogether coz i din haf time to train up for it... but decided to follow Ling's advice and juz hit it on pure adrenalin, and suffer later... 3 days on i'm still suffering... and it dun help when i still haf to put up with the agony of Wilson's breaking training... that shit aint for the weak-hearted... for real... glad to know Jini is joining the crew as well... we need more crazy-ass maniacs willing to sacrifice mind, body and soul for perfection... esp the body... hah... painful days ahead comrades... i can smell it in the air....

Dance wise we are still taking on shows...Singtel 3G launch happening real soon. Next week they'll be sending the vdo crew down to do our MTV... we gotta make it happen... following that is the Hip Hop Convention with Hata... he needs the iLLers down... so we'll be doing that as well...itz gonna be bz... and here i was telling myself ima slack next week.... NOT!!! Best part is to come... for the And1 show they're trying ta get the entire And1 crew down...Wicked!! and following close behind is the Hip Hop Convention...where they are hoping to get Jin down... oohhh..if that Ruff Ryder comes down, itz gonna be the bomb....been watching that Chinaman since Freestyle Friday... and he tight.... WAAATtttt!!!

so now...itz 2 to the double O to the 5...juz like that... spent the eve with Ling, Wilson and Gin... now come to think of it, thats an unlikely foursome... i mean... ai shall stop there... those who know the combi, i'll leave it to yall... but it was aight... spend the nite watching movies and videos...in fact i juz got back and i aint remember the last time i slept... But itz cool... Wilo is always the man..Gin is aight.. and Ling will always my Boo... so no matter how simple it was, i wldnt want it any other way...

Heard from sources that they want me in for Funkamania on the 8th... but im like no can do... one is i never had a thing for comps... period... Funka may be happening... but that aint the point...hope the iLLers dun take it wrongly...Lov and Co... Gin kept asking and i felt really bad for declining... but thats juz the way it is... i'm with Wilson on this one... why join Funkamania when we can/should be judging it? Anw having said that, congrats to the rest of the crew for winning the J8 Battle... and runners-up for the Far-east Dance shit... commendable performance...

Speaking of dance, those of ya'll interested in keepin' abreast with The iLLers, pls sign up with MoBlog, part of our kind sponsors Singtel for the event...weblink is www.moblog.com.sg .Juz sign up and join the iLLers group aight! Do it fo yo man!! Aii!! U'll recieve the latest updates on the gropu, schedules of performances, everything u wanna kno and more... and itz free! so do it... DO IT.... DO IT....

Last but not least, my resolution for 2005, since everyone is always asking me and everyone is all about resolutions....herez mine... short and sweet.... to stay alive.... and Prak, i know urs is to stay alive long enuf to get laid! hahaha..... PEAce Out PeopLe!!!!

2004-12-27T21:15:00.000+08:00

really nice pic if i say so myself...altho pay no attention to the mini crackhead in the centre... he was on weed twice his weight... Bugger actually made it to 90% of the photos taken that nite... 2 career options spring to mind- The Human Backdrop or a C-list Porn Star in years to come... *shudders*

SwAyin' To ThE BeAt oF: Lil John's Dirty South Soldier

itz been a thuggin' couple of days... xmas followed by Prak's bday... haf to admit i enjoyed myself...and i din really spend much juice on much... so as economical as the days were, i suppose the company more than whooped ass...Love out to my players Prak and my cuz Shiraz for making the time... and of course Willy Yang...my Ghetto Superstar and my soul sistas, Ling and Gollie..

Week started on wednesday, Ling and Gollie came over to entertain me since the folks were out of town...had a solid time at the pool and jacuzzi... hahah...was fun...later ordered in pizza and enjoyed Main Hoon Na... was a gd movie... and it had us all in knots...=) Thursday they came down again. This time we hit the badminton court...never laffed so hard in my life... with Gollie screaming like both the Williams sisters put toegther... all i can say was there was plenty of smoke but no fire..haha...great way to spend xmas eve...

awhile later Prak showed up, and The Show shortly after.. hahah...had a gd time... watching Sabrina while i went abt cooking them some shit... hope it was awite... trippin'..had a feeling the macaroni was a tad burnt... but credit to them for keeping it in their stomachs for the longest time... haha

Went to Rouge with the girls after that coz Gollie had a dancing assignment with Hamzah, which in all honesy doesnt sound too secure so Ling and myself thot it'd be safer if we were arnd to keep things in check...haha..turned out ok... our dearest Jini became $200 for shaking her butt for an hour, we got in free and had free drinks all nite... music was questionable tho... but i aint complaining... company all but made up for it... hahah...battled Hamzah till his pants tore and that was kick-ass.. juz had to do smt when they played Billie Jean on their retro rounds... =P

yesterday was ayt Prak's... HAPPY 21st BRo!!! Hope u like the presents...stayed over to watch the Untied match... was aight...Food was good... Thx puunz! oh...my bad... make that a 21 year old puunz! lolz!

tmrw i gotta drag myself for some Nokia Print Ad shoot in the morning... crap why do the studios all gotta be so darn far?! Oxley Road AGAIN!! Feel like giving it a miss... tho the money is gonna be really worth it if i snag it... shit man...oh well.. see if i can wake up for starters... then after that will be heading home for a run and a swim with the sisters... good excuse to get off my sordid arse and do something...

wed and thursday i gotta liase for the soundcheck at JJC... really not in the mood to do the Grad nite gig... but promised mum... so heck it... i'll play high, announce that im on crack and start abusing the P on the mic... they wan a slammin' kick-off, im gonna give them exactly that... whHHATTTTtttt!!!

Muznt forget to settle the module shit as well... and next week muz plan the GESS old guard annual meeting as suggested by Titus... hahah... so Prak, Wil, Faiz, juz a head's up.... ai ai... ima get some sleep... only managed like a genetalic 2 hour nap at Praks in the past 3 days.... Shout out to Yang..hope ur project went ok... my bad i couldnt help u with the soundtrack for the video... the timing was juz awful... hope u understand my man from another land... peace out..

SwayiN' to tHe BeAt oF: Robbie Williams' Better Man

First up, kudos to the crew for pulling off a successful performance at the Singtel Hip Hop Jam at Funan the past 2 days... i can confidently say we nailed it 110%... and if itz anything to go by, the organisers were so impressed they asked us to do their G3 gig next month... only 2 words...

well...a glance at the near future...we're packed with shows...which means coming up with more choreo... man...we practically haf a show every week... this week alone we did like 4.... i mean... the money is unbelievable... i'll be a millionaire at this rate...but the thot of skl coming in and all... mite prove too much to juggle... gotta think it out alil and not be swayed by the bling bling we'll be jeezing...so will unfortunately haf to be selective on the projects we take up...

Finally completed our last show at Paragon...i duno wat to make out of the whole thing... in many ways pissed at myself coz i never do the things i told myself i would...always find myself holding back...God only knows...i think the next time we go perform, im gonna bring my own music list... which of course will include things that Lovynn and Hamzah will never fathom- Lil Jon and the YinG YanG Twinz!!!

Welll enuf of wat ifs...if anything, im heartened by the fact that at lesat my people came down to watch...Celia...thx again...luv ya! and of course, my man from a foreign land, the Vietcom guerilla warrior himself, the El Capitano...more commonly known as Thang (Clinton)...hhahaha,... thnx so much dawg!! juz the idea of u sniggering at me was enuf to make me wanna go up and do smt crazy!! =P shout-outs too to my nigga Prak recuperating at home.... take care man... dun make me come over there and beat u into shape... real waste u din come down...but itz aight... ur health is more impt... i shall live to pound u into the ground another day...

Coz no way m i gonna join Funkamania without Wilson in the iLLers...nor Desire, nor Bounce or watever comp that comes up...i juz wanna relax, do a couple of shows, take my geez and enjoy the occasional serenity...

Will b looking forward to "guest rap" on Shah's new song tho... heh...i've stopped composing for the longest time...but i suppose i'll haf to come up with something for their title track tho.... since itz a love song i guess obscenities are a no-no... hahah...interesting days ahead... Peace out...

Announcement 2: I do not plan to cast it up coz that would mean being out for at least a month.

Announcement 3: Even if i did haf to, it would be a waste of money...money which i dun really wanna fish out due to my own personal blunders...

Announcement 4: i will not be performing tdy...but i'll force myself to make a comeback next weekend....

Announcement 5: Wanna say a big thank you to Celia for coming down all the way to watch.. really sweet of u and i appreciate it so much....*hugz* and yes...u'll get ur windbreaker the next time we get clothes from our sponsors...=D

well...hitting the keyboard is pretty much the only thing i can do comfortably now.. cant even sleep coz i might roll over and end up screaming in pain... trippin'... i mean like y shld it haf to happen now...yday was so much fun...the crowd outside Paragon was tight... they were playing along to every tunes we hit... and we cld haf gone on and on for sure... 1 hour wasnt gonna cut it...

Nvm we din haf anything prepared at all...and that we were juz monkeying arnd...think i monkeyed too much and ended up in this state...and now im suffering from the exact same injury that put Wilson in hospital and out of commision for a month... all i can do is sit back now and wait to see wat happens...

Many thx to all the pple who came down..even those who din stay like Angel.. hahah... feel free to come down anytime over the nxt fri and sat from 7-8pm outside Paragon...and Celia Celia... ahaha.. i haf let u down (hangs head in despair)...hehehe...so sorry...had i known u were coming down i wld haf planned smt special... =P nvm...lunch treat on me k? or u can come over anytime and watch OC episodes then i'll whip up some crap to munch on...=)

Damn it! and to think later i wun be able to do shit...already John and Gin wun be down... so which means we cant hit the Mountbatten walks... so God knows wat we are gonna do... maybe Peter and i will beatbox or smt... hhahah...or ask Hamzah to do wild stuff as usual and scare away the little kids...as long as i aint watching i dun mind!!

On the brighter side, we managed to get clothes sponsorship for the nxt 2 performances... mainly by Lee Jeans... altho it aint exactly Hip Hop gear, i dun really care...we juz got ourselves more than $200 worth of clothes each...including this phat denim jacket i picked out...the tee was cool too... and the jeans was aight...and the best is yet to come... AND 1 and World of Sports baby!! Yeeaaahhhh!!!! Im talking free browse-thrus and grabbing anything we like b4 every performance we do... THATS THE SHIT!!! Peter u the man!!

ai ai...time to go soak my blasted thumb in a bucket of ice...tho i know that aint gonna do shit... it at least numbs me for that while longer... peace yall...

Woodstock is in the house..

SwAyiN' To ThE BeAt Of: Busta Rhymes' Here We Go Again

Ai ai people, listen up...watever u do, dun spend dough watching Saw on a wkend! thnkfully i d/led the movie...so i din burn much...but it was one of those really "oh yea i saw that b4" kinda flicks....well shit, it was full o' gore... but that was aight..nothing i havnt seen b4... but the storyline was alil irritating...hahah.. den again itz a personal opinion...so shoot...

One movie u gotta catch tho is The Incredibles! Kick ass! hahah...the characters are all sweet man! My dearest Prak is now hooked on to Frozone! hahaha..Cool ass dude.. and the villains are juz purely humour!! Underminer! Bomb Voyage!! lolz! u gotta catch that shit man... went to watch it with Prak and The Yew Tee Beauty and we were laffing so hard the pple in arnd us were kinda annoyed... hahah...but it was really worth the moolah..in fact, i can be walking arnd my house now, n i'll suddenly burst out laughing.. IM INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE! Waaatttttt!!!

Ok..music nxt... Me Against Myself is the best album i've bought in a long time... itz really REALLY good!!! but downside, itz got heavy ass copyright protection...so i cant even rip it with iTunes... and my Hi-Fi cant play it...keeps displaying an error msg... trippin'... =S and when i play it on my com, therez even an included player in the disc...which means there are no individual track files... i was like woah...but all worth it...really tight shit...cldnt find a single track online...and now i know why...go get the album all u RnB fans out there... this guy is something..

Spent the evening breaking at NYP with Wil and Peter....Ling thankfully took my advise and stayed home to recover...hope she got the sleep she needed...will see u tmrw yah dearie... gotta start working on our walks for the nxt 2 wkends...Wilson was like asking me to juz 2 impromtu sets... man...never really attempted to... but i guess since he says my clowning arnd will pass, i'll juz do it...wat the heck...i mean...juz C-walk here, side-glide there...do a couple of 6-steps and end it with a shoulder freeze...and if im daring enuf try a semi-air flair (which is actually a complete air-flair but only falling with a thump on my black ass!)

And check this...i finally did some heavy shearing on my mane...and im tellin' ya, i took the whole thing... the salon chair disappeared under my falling hair...i swear my head never felt lighter! haha...well...at lesat now i dun haf hair tickling my shoulders... and no longer can i pull my fringe to my chin..(which btw is a good thing...the world seems a brighter place)..lets see wat i can do with the limited material on my crown now...maybe highlight the tips? colour reccomendations? wine red? Cobalt blue fading to magenta? i'll sleep on it for now...*yawnz*

tmrw ima head out to my bro's place in the morn to watch Shaft... im tellin ya, i watched 10 mins of that crap and i was rolling on the floor...not only does the nigga look like Prak, he goes arnd cursing and swearing like no tmrw...and he screws everything in sight.. lolz! And his motto is getting laid...how more sordid can it get!?!?

ai..im off to dig up some caps to cover my newly accquired, inadequate head...Peace yall!

I keed i keed!!

Was watching Bad Boys II 2 days in a row...my stupid bro went to record it, and we watches it during every meal...heh...Marcus and Mike really remind me of myself and Prak...=) one the "caught-in-2 minds family man" Prak/Marcus, and the "I cant wait to die or get run over by a freight-train" Me/Mike... hahaha... everyone wants to be like Mike...dun hate the players, hate the game... sweet..love their motto..WE RIDE TOGETHER, WE DIE TOGETHER, BAD BOYS FOR LIFE...

Hah...Dad juz gave me $50 to tide me over while i wait for my cash to roll in...coz i dun wanna touch my reserves as yet...think im gonna run out tmrw and grab that Jay Sean album... hooked to his latest "Stolen"... the vdo rawks too...go check it out homies! U wun b disappointed...

Mum juz called back from Aussie...apparently shez hafing quite a ball...finsinhed with the farm stay and all...nxt shez off to Sydney to hook up with my cousin...then itz back here on the 10th... and 8 days later, the moment i haf been waiting for, when the whole house vacates for a week!! Phat!!! *feels for the horns on my head*

Finally decided to cut my freaking mop of a hair-do....itz either that or i get my corn-rows done.. but im thinking maintainence costs for the latter...so i'll juz hook up with Wilson's stylist over the nxt week and sees wat happens...it'll help breaking with a shorter do... enuf of getting my do in my mouth and all over the place...

SwayInG tO d BeAt Of: Stevie Wonder's Superstious

Juz thot i'd unwind a lil after the recent spate of mugging... been cramping my brain with stuff and acting all geeky the past week... somehow i still feel im gonna screw up the sem in style... but then again, i'll juz dust myself off and make a comeback nxt sem... hahaha... i always haf a way of leaving it till the last min to do my thang... looks like this time round i wun be so lucky...

Was supposed to read up Soci from now till 5 (am mind u)... but i was thinking heck it lar...i've done my stuff for SEAs, eLang and ICM already..left with a lil of soci and a shitload to cover for Lit...ah well...spent the whole of last nite till 6 covering the bulk of it... i would say this sem has been fun...getting back into the groove of looking at proper sentences...as well as handing in gravied up smoke-filled essays and hoping for the best... hahah... life couldnt be sweeter...

Enuf on the work...m really looking forward to 25 Nov...for one itz the last day of my papers... and my cuz is coming back from Aussie on the nite itself...so we're planning to go paint the town red one more time with my other cuz'z at ChinaBar... hah...itz been too long...missed the bloke... the only Arsenal fan i respect coz he knows wat he's talking about and actually respects the game... will be waiting to get the ususal banter goin'... U're gonna be in for some stick!

Holidays are already looking jammed pack...Nov 26 and 27 we'll be doing this freestyle breaking thing at CityLink...then soon after is the NUS Dance thing...so gotta get the cheo running right after the papers.... then on the 16th Dec is my parent's anni thing at Sullivans...high time i started thinking of the shit that we are gonna throw in... contacting Shah and the Band to see if they can lend their musical talents... will be banking on the Yew Tee Beauty and her sis for back-up as well... then itz Graduation Nite at JJC on Dec 30....another gig to plan and all... man... Dec is gonna be nothing but singing, dancing, and singing somemore!!! Hopefully we get at least some $$ outta it... im broke as hell.... will be looking to hook up with Wil and maybe do a couple of shows...if in fact Hatta wires us as promised... still waiting for the pay for the Istana thing...grrr... they never fail to delay that...oh and then there is Impressario at NTU....$3000 up for grabs...the only way im gonna win is if Ling decides to back me up on that duet and split the winnings 90-10 in my favour... lolz! im shameless i know! BUt itz a sure win way! the darling sounds exactly like Alicia Keys...they cant possibly give her a runner's up spot... i'll juz slither along for the ride, like the serpent i am...=P

i haf a feeling the nxt time i do a stock check, itz gonna be 2005...so many things to do, so lil time...thinking of getting back to singing... i've resigned myself to the fact that i'll never be able to do another Chester after that one nite...so i'll retire as a band frontman/groupie and juz stick to soapy/cheesy ballads...hahah...98 Degrees anyone?

Momma is starting to get all watery in the eyes...shez leaving for Aussie nxt tuesday... im gonna miss her...but only becoz the rest of the family is gonna be here, so her absence will be felt everytime i smell my dad's infamous meat curry on the grill...Noooo....y cant he understand that i HATE mutton!! -_-...Sushi and snails any day...so yeh...will miss the Dowager...

But come 18 Dec, when the whole family goes on holiday without me, aahahah...that is when the fun and festivities will begin!! i've got it all rigged...the fortnight of fornication is upon us! Bring out the pot and lets get accquainted! The house will be mine, and ima turn it into Hotel 08-61!

ai ai... dats way in the works still..gotta concerntrate on the battle at hand... *rmb the scene where Maximus picks up a handfull of the earth's soil?* ima get down and dirty... well at least starting tmrw... will promise meself to wake up early and drag my sorry carcass to skool to study... Peace Out!
