it's a blog eat blog world

Degeneration

My energy for blogging has wanned a fair bit...

I still owe you guys the finishing entries for Bangkok (which i can't bring myself to do anymore), a preview of my specs (on my face) and proper entertainment...

It's been a looong time since i put up a blogbuster, one that requires readers to leave their brains at the door and just bring along their sense of humour...

My last brainless but entertaining blogbuster was put up on October last year. I must say, i was quite happy to garner many positive tags from it...

I like to be praised... Who doesn't? And since i blog to entertain, and not for my own personal diarial purposes, being praised means being appreciated...

Call me silly, but sometimes, i wish to have as many people reading my blog as the various blogerities out there like Xiaxue, mrbrown and Kenny Sia... I have a standard list of people's blogs i read, and i always read said 3 blogs after i have read all my friend's...

As they say, keep the best for last...

I think i might go on a haitus once again, to recharge and hopefully, to get back my humour and enthusiasm for blogging...

I'm sure i won't be too badly missed...

That said, i wanna wish everyone out there a very






and may all your wishes (of more hongbao money, to win at gambling etc) come true!

Ohoh... And before i forget, here's a shout out to Joshua! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE!!!

Let me quote...

America's Next Top Model:

"When you feel strong, you're braver, gutsier and more secure. When you feel confident and strong, you might reveal something that you ordinarily wouldn't."

That was the lines they had to say in an ad for underarm deodorant.

Had an sms out of the blue from Weibin today. He was around my area and wanted to meet me. I wasn't really in the mood to go anywhere so i asked him to come over my place instead.


I used to call him Bindasami... Now he's Bindavinci...

This was taken more than a year ago, when i was piaing for A levels at Bedok library... And he was wearing the same shirt today... Coincidence? Or that he just doesn't have many shirts?

It was rather awkward for me at first, cos we've not met for more than a year already and i didn't know how to act in front of him, but the feeling was fast replaced by that of familiarity...

As he said so himself after he left, "...you are so polite at first... Very unlike you..."

...

So he means that i'm normally impolite la...

On the Idol front, i've already told Sergeant not to mention my Singapore Idol thingy to the enciks already... I shall just quietly go join, and if i make progress, i'll tell the higher management then...

Otherwise, i'll just go back to my quiet existence and continue opening the gates of hell to whoever wants to sell their soul...

Good night.

Memoirs of a good show.



Memoirs of a Geisha was surprisingly good for me... Very satisfying, despite all of the negative reviews...

Everyone should just go watch it and decide for themselves la...


A true geisha can stop a man with one look...

With fakeness dripping off my fangs...

Dear Sir,

Re: Participation in Singapore Idol

I am writing to inform you of my participation in Singapore Idol 2006. I seek both your approval and support in this event.

I hope to bring positive publicity to both AFAB and RSAF in the process of my pursuit. I promise to only refer to RSAF in a positive light whenever possible.

I understand that if I appear on television, I would be representing AFAB to the masses and I would seek to be a positive role model for future NSFs.

I hope to have your fullest support in this endeavour.

That is all I have to say.

Your obedient soldier,
LCP Goh Junyi

*pukes*

This is so not by choice.

For a preview of my spects, click here...

Randomness spewing from my brain.

I have so many things to say/rant about that i'm feeling oh so confused... Sometimes i suspect my brain is really just grey shit cos i can't seem to grasp on one thought. Everything is just flitting about in my head right now.

FUCK!

Ok... I feel a little bit better now...

-----------

Guess what i found on my table when i got home from camp today?


My first thought was that it was from KW. He's the only person i know that loves giving cards.

My second, stupider, thought was that it was a X'mas card. (Yes, i know there's only 12 days of X'mas...)

Excitedly, i ripped the envelope open...


As soon as i saw the red card inside, my third and stupidest thought was...

Is someone i know getting married?!?!

I know, i know... I'm quite dumb... But i have grey shit for brains remember?


It was a CNY card! Of course!

At this point, i was thinking who would be so bo liao to send me a CNY card... I mean, it's me leh! No one sends cards to me one... I'm only worth a sms... (Why do i have such a strong urge to say "an sms"?)


It was from Boony aka Boonkian aka Wenjian! Nice penmanship! (The brand of a fan in my camp is "Booney", i think of you whenever i see the fan.)

Thank you you! Xie xie ni! I've received X'mas cards and birthday cards...


Now, i have my very first CNY card!

That was in the morning...

In the afternoon, i met up with my cousin (who is freaking going to ORD) and ah ma (paternal grandma) for lunch. It's her birthday today! Everyone say happy birthday to my ah ma...

Too bad i didn't take any photos. I actually brought a camera, but i felt weird taking it out, so it remained in my pocket throughout the meal...

I wanted to bring them to the Crystal Jade Golden Palace in Paragon for dim sum, but she complained that it was too far, so we settled for the Crystal Jade Kitchen at Causeway Point instead...

It was supposed to be our treat, but she paid for the meal in the end. Guess how much was the bill man... We had frog's leg porridge, stir fried seafood noodles, broccoli with scallops, steamed pork buns, 3 different kinds of roasted meat and the ultimate, a bowl of heavenly shark's fin soup each!

At this point, being the geographer that i am, i must warn you guys out there about the dangers of consuming shark's fin to the dwindling shark population.

"The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says over 100 million sharks, skates and rays are killed every year. We figure that's just half the total, because another half is unreported. This total threatens sharks because they reproduce slowly, more like mammals than fish. Some sharks only have 1-2 pups every other year, and they may take nine or more years to mature."
- sources from some website.

So yes, everyone should STOP EATING SHARK'S FIN RIGHT NOW...


But i still eat...

I know i know!

I know a way to get people to stop eating shark's fin!

You take an ordinary plate...


This is an ordinary plate...

Now you slap on some slogans and pictures of sharks being murdered...

Ta-da!


Presenting, the anti-shark's-fin-eating plate!

This will stop, or at least reduce, the amount of shark's fin being consumed.

How, you ask?

Simple!


People will just take a look at the plate and get mega turned off by the pictures on it and thus abstain from ordering shark's fin soup!

I'm so smart... *pats myself on the back*

I should go patent my idea to the UN, then they will mass produce MY plates and sell it to the World! Actually, sell it to China and i'll be rich already...

Oh please, i know it won't work... I got my idea from cigarette boxes and how they put up pictures of lungs blackened by tar or brains with blood clots, all in the futile bid to reduce cigarette consumption. Like that cannot, the gahmen just increase tax. And increase. And increase. Like got use... People still buy... My campmates all keep complaining that they've got no money but every couple of days, they come with new boxes of cigs...

I'm deviating like crazy... Back to the meal...

The bill totalled to $200.93.

*blink*

Freaking hell! My cousin thought we were gonna treat and with every order, his eyes widened a little... In the end, my ah ma paid... Abit bad la, her birthday and she's treating us, but what to do, she's a rich woman...

---------------

Sidetracking, this is my horoscope for today...

Imitating someone else is not going to get you anywhere. You can appreciate the person's methods and admire his style, but in the end, you need to develop your own voice. Figure out what that is.

Hmmmm... Very significant...

Oh, my whole camp knows i'm gonna join Singapore Idol... Even the Enciks... I'm so grossed out... If i dun get through, i'm gonna be so embarrassed...

I'm starting to get a little turned off with the whole shebang already... Mabs please save me! Are you still going with?

----------------

There's some other shit that i had wanted to blog about, and it concerns the camp and how it's run...

I suspect things will get better when one of us takes over from the Jade Emperor and his sidekick, but that day seems to be in the land of far faraway...

Oh whatev. I shall just let shit stay where it belongs.

In the toilet bowl.

Bangkok 2005 Part 3: A day without a theme.



Went down to Chinatown for lunch and a bit of shopping...


It was crowded, to say the least... People were packed like sardines and there were times where everyone came to a complete standstill.

We walked down tonnes of narrow passages until we couldn't take it anymore... Went back to our hotel to freshen up before heading out to the town area.

We didn't know what to do... So we...


... bought tickets to catch a late-night screening of Aeon Flux. Each tickets cost about S$5, which was what the show was worth anyway...

But before that, we had dinner at some fusion restaurant. As in really fusion. There was Thai food, Italian food, Jap food and Chinese food.


Don and Dion, the other two i went on the trip with.

Don paid for the meal (and many other meals), and when he pays, he likes to do something he affectionately calls OVERKILL. That's a result of too much Final Fantasy for you.


Look at the food grow! And that's only my side of the table...


Ahhhhhhum...


We couldn't stand straight for an hour after that...


Author's note: Really sorry for the prolonged drought in Bangkok updates, but i haven't had the chance to really sit down and blog much. There'll be around 2 to 3 more parts of the trip, and after that, i'll do like a compilation for it, so be patient!

Guys, i'm serious...

You all have to watch this. It's freaking funny crap man!

Watch it on YouTube or just click on the above image to play.

Expensive Accessory

I've just gotten myself new spectacles, and into deep shit.

My dad told me to get a $200 plus pair. Screw that.

I times two-ed that amount.

In Loving Memory



Time of death, sometime between 3am and 8am today.



Crushed by some fucker in camp. It's bent so outta shape that the lady from Nanyang Optical couldn't do anything about it.

I attempted to put it on...



Cannot! (I like this "comic strip" thingy! I actually took each photo individually, and it turned out to have such a cool continuity to it that i just slotted them together...)

Sob! I've been wearing this pair since i was in year 1 and i quite liked it. Some people have said it made me look like those slutty secretaries, while others have said it made me look like channel 8 news reporters.

新传媒记者, 吴峻逸, 报导.

Anyway, now i'm wearing the sickeningly cheapo BMT black plastic frame spects, with hooks behind the ears and all. I HATE IT! The degree is a tad higher than the spoilt pair and it's making me abit dizzy. Plus my eyelashes are brushing the lenses everytime i blink!



Look at my thick and lush eyelashes...



Doesn't it remind you of a certain Sesame Street character?



Look at the eyelashes! They're literally lashing the lenses! Very irritating. Now i know how Imran feels (inside joke for the VS people).

I remember during BMT, we had to constantly put camou cream all over our faces, and we had to do it fast, so we just squeezed out the cream onto our hands, rubbed them together and just slapped it on our faces. So it was inevitable that the camou got everywhere (actually, it's a requirement). Even the lashes had camou, sorta like green mascara. Because i was wearing the cheapo plastic specs, i remember having to constantly wipe them cos the specs was too close to my face and there were "lash" marks administered by my lashes lashing the lenses.

URGH!



Once i looked like a civillian (well, sorta)...

Now, i look like an Army personnel...



Freedom? What's that?


May i find new spectacles soon... I can't live with this look.

Bangkok 2005 Part 2b: After Chatuchat

I'm gonna go subject myself to voluntary molestation by an older women.


The horror!


Actually, we were going for a foot massage.


Our smiles belie the apprehension underneathe...


Our feet were rinsed in warm water and left to dry...


The lau jiao woman swooped down on my feet like a vulture going in for the kill.


She kneeded...


And squeezed...


And i squirmed and giggled...

All in all, it was an ok experience... Not really WOW!, but not really bleah also...

I spotted something that looked out of place in that foot massage place...


What's a perm hair thing doing there???

Maybe got promotion, "Heat up your head while we rub down your feet!" Buy 1 get 1 free, buy 2 get 2 free, buy many get many free!



Author's note: Yes, i know i know, it's gonna be close to a month since my trip, and i have yet to totally finish blogging about it... Bad Junyi! Maybe i should just give up on blogging about the trip... No one is interested anyway... Can anyone prove me wrong? Does anyone look forward to my Bangkok entries? Tag on the tagboard to let me know ok?

And i have to give another shout out to Jianwei, who made me miss singing in a choir... Actually, all he did was to send me choir songs... Haha...

People have been saying that i don't blog as much as they would like me too...

Therefore, i should try to blog more frequently...

NAH...

New Year Tradition

Everywhere i go, people have been telling me, "Oh, i read my entry on New Year last year and i was doing/having (insert interesting activities)!"

Then i went back to my own entry on New Year last year and what was i doing? Oh, i was at home, cos i was "...sian of going out so much, bored of going clubbing, squeezing with the crowd, getting drunk and dancing. Most importantly, I'm DAMN LAZY to go out..."

And i was also looking for a job around that time. KW do u remember going for the stupid auditions with me? Haha...

Back to the topic, i was feeling grossed out cos i stayed at home on New Year for both this year and last year, so i thought to myself, "Ok, maybe 2003 i did something interesting..."

Apparently not.

I didn't even blog about New Year. The closest i got was blogging on the 30th and the next entry was dated 6th already.

I guess i'm just not big on festivities...

Oh! Oh! I was browsing my past entries and i found this fun quiz that i posted last year! It's the pornstar/pony one, remember? I tried it again and i got 7/12!

Go try it and tell me what you got!

I've done it!

Register for Singapore Idol that is... My mum made puking noises when she found out...

If you dunno how it feels like to register for this, think University admissions. Where they ask you questions and you're supposed to answer by typing stuff into the box provided... Stress la... My answers were all so retarded, but i couldn't be bothered to think much...

And contrary to what a few people have said, registration is completely free! So go register NOW and join me and Mabel for the idol experience!

Lol, machiam advertising liddat, scarly later i dun go...

Oh! And a happy new year to everyone who's reading!
