today was a tiring day.. went shopping for the Bolly, Curry, Sari event with Alan Ong and Wendy(Cedric's sister).. and the place we went, LITTLE INDIA!! kinda smell.. but to be honest, that place is filled with cheap stuff.. and GOOD FOOD!! went around to find nice and cheap punjabi(if that's the way to spell it) we went from Mustafa Centre to the Tekka Market to some shop that sells them.. for like 3 hours, walking and talking.. and guess what? i got a very nice one.. but the price was a bit high.. $62.. but it's really nice.. so ya.. then after that, we went to eat at The Banana Restaurant Apollo.. their curry fish was like super nice can! and very spicy too.. and we continue talking.. about who's going to get married soon.. haha.. some topic to talk about.. but i got to know some of the marriages coming up.. marriages are happy occasions..
oh ya.. the dance that i have to dance for the MV played during that event.. was like cool and easy to dance.. kinda enjoyed dancing.. so ya.. tomorrow will be the rehearsal.. so hope it's fun tomorrow..
this is first video of me telling a story to 3 LITTLE kids.. haha.. kinda stupid.. but it became crappy and fun.. made a lot of noise in the library..
sorry for the long break from blogging.. kinda busy with lots of stuff.. i shall start with Crossroad..
that night.. the Final match of TLS(The Loan Sharks) Vs NBA(Neighbourhood Basketball Amateurs)
it was like a stressful night for me, as it was the first time for me to be like acting on the stage with so many lines in my hands.. the worse thing was that, during the rehearsal, i couldn't get into the mood that i'm supposed to be in.. the angry, ah beng kind.. i was panicing, praying and hoping that i don't screw things up for everybody.. so as the time to act draws nearer, i felt even more worse.. everyone was like very excited.. as for me, excited, yes.. but screwing things up is bigger.. so the time came to act.. after worship, the first video started.. everything seems to be in place.. scene by scene went.. my lines in my head.. so i acted.. for the first time, i didn't feel that nervous as usual.. in the past, whenever i went up to the stage, i would be super nervous.. but this time, no.. so acted as usual.. as what Calvin Pang, one of the NBA actors, said,"that ah long role suits Ethan.." in the beginning, i felt insulted.. but to think of it again on that stage and now, ya, it really suits me quite well.. given to my past background, the anger and stuff like that.. to the last scene of the skit, it was the scene of me, Kobe, and Ah Niu(if you have catch the trailers, you will know who are they), i jsut blasted into them and the mike.. and the feedback that i had from the audience was that i was like really loud, and that they never see me so loud before.. well.. i'm Ah long.. haha.. so ya.. after the skit, all of us were like relieved that everything has ended.. and that no more rehearsals(actually, we have only like 3 rehearsals..) and remembering of lines..
the next day, after the Crossroad event, was the Community outreach.. i went instead of working on that day.. never had the mood to work on Saturdays.. to think of it, in the 5 weeks at my school's training hotel, hmmmm.. i think i went only for 2 Saturdays.. so ya.. that speaks everything..
things at the training hotel was not smooth.. as in.. been scolded for no good reason.. and that lasted for like 1 week? i just hope it will end as soon as possible..(actually this is the LAST WEEK working there)HAHA!!
the coming event, Curry, Bolly, Sari(or in any other sequence), is next in the calender.. and guess what? I'M ONE OF THE DANCERS!! when i heard that i'm going to the main cast for the dance, i was like"..........(stunned)" i told Nic that i'm willing to dance and making a fool out of myself.. but i never knew to this extend.. OH MY GOODNESS!! MAIN CAST!!! ARGH! but i will accept it, just for the fun of it and to dance everything away!! SHOOOO!! Saturday they are going to get the costumes for it, but i can't go.. it will be my last day at the stupid training hotel.. so ya..
Time to Countdown to freedom from WORK!!
as from today, 26 March 2008..
3 MORE DAYS!! JIA YOU!!
Dear Diary
found the OST for The Leap Years..
and i find that these songs are nice!!
Love Song For Number 1
Corrinne May
In the twinkling stars that dance like fireflies
In the blushing fruit that hangs upon the vine
In the face of a baby as he forms his first smile
I see you
In the whisper of the wind’s soft lullaby
In the laughter and the roar of the rushing tide
In the song of the sparrow as he takes his first flight
I hear you
Why do you hide among the nameless and forgotten
Why do you walk along these long forsaken roads
Calling to me in the hungry and the homeless
Calling me to water your thirst
So I’ll give you my heart and my song
In a world where so much is right but so much is wrong
Your love is my beginning and I know it won’t be too long
Till I see you
Why do you hide among the nameless and forgotten
Why do you walk along these long forsaken roads
Calling to me in the hungry and the homeless
Calling me to water your thirst
So I’ll give you my heart and my song
In a world where so much is right but so much is wrong
Your love is my beginning and I know it won’t be too long
Till I see you
I hear you
I love you

Scars(Stronger For Life)
Corrinne May
I just want to run
Just want to hide away
Close my eyes to your gaze
Just want to leave
Don't want to hear them say
"You're no good at this"
When the world swirls with naysayers
Broken wings and torn pages
The road ahead
Drowning in my tears
Break me open
Tear me down
Into pieces
Broken crumbs
On the ground
You can mould and shape me
In your image
Breathe your life
You know I need it
Scars make us stronger for life
Losing myself
Gaining it back again
Forging strength from weakness
All that I am
All that I'm meant to be
Melting in your hand
Let the world swirl with naysayers
Pickled hearts and sour faces
What is real is what I cannot see
Break me open
Tear me down
Into pieces
Broken crumbs
On the ground
You can mould and shape me
In your image
Breathe your life
You know I need it
Scars make us stronger for life
Cut away
All within me
That won't bear fruit
Cut away
All within me
Cut away
All within me
That won't bear fruit
Cut away
All within me
Break me open
Tear me down
Into pieces
Broken crumbs
On the ground
You can mould and shape me
In your image
Breathe your life
You know I need it
Scars make us stronger
Scars make us stronger for life

The Birthday Song
Corrinne May
Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way
To say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be
Happy birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul
You've known to grow a little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder of the child within your eyes
Happy birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
It's such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hope you will like them..
as much as i do..
lost..
that's how i feel..
the light that's with me..
suddenly gone..
the sky is dark again..
this time..
without stars..
without moon..
having the sky now..
it's just meaningless..
the night is quiet..
just like the past..
but now..
i'm not used to it..
the night suddenly became cold..
without any warmth..
even a blanket..
will not do the job..
the heart's still beating..
beating to live..
but without meaning..
walking in the park..
singing of the crickets..
sounds the night..
no silence..
only silence in heart..
Cry Me A River
Justin Timberlake
You were my sun
You were my earth
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance
And made other plans
But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no
You don't have to say, what you did,
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it
You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me, all alone
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me, on the phone
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn
To cry, cry me a river
Cry me a river-er
Cry me a river
Cry me a river-er, yea yea
I know that they say
That somethings are better left unsaid
It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
(Don't act like you don't know it)
All of these things people told me
Keep messing with my head
(Messing with my head)
You should've picked honesty
Then you may not have blown it
(Yea..)
You don't have to say, what you did,
(Don't have to say, what you did)
I already know, I found out from him
(I already know, uh)
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
(No chance, you and me)
And don't it make you sad about it
You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me, all alone
(All alone)
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me, on the phone
(When you call me on the phone)
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
(I'm not like them baby)
Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn
(It's your turn)
To cry, cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river-er
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river-er, yea yea
Oh
(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh
(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh
(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh
(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be... leaving
You don't have to say, what you did,
(Don't have to say, what you did)
I already know, I found out from him
(I already know, uh)
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
(No chance, you and me)
And don't it make you sad about it
Cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river-er
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river
(You can go on and just)
Cry me a river-er, yea yea
Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river-er
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Cause I've already cried)
Cry me a river-er, yea yea
(Ain't gonna cry no more, yea-yea)
Cry me a river
Cry me a river, oh
Cry me a river, oh
Cry me a river, oh
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Dear Dairy..
i'm going to promote Region A's Special event..
Crossroads
in life, there will be a lot of crossroads.. desicions to be made.. which is good? turn left? turn right? go straight? or just stay where you are? difficult choices to be made..
come join us for a night of drama, fun, games, and food..
on the 14th March 2008, 7.30 pm at Evangel Family Church..
let me know if you're coming!!
for your information..
i will be acting.. haha..
so come support!!
i feel so lonely now..
it just sunk my heart..
a large part of me is gone..
Dear Dairy..
went for a swim just now.. and guess what? i almost drown just now.. it was like out of the sudden, water went into my goggles, and then i started to struggle.. in the process, i drank a lot of water.. very scary.. in the end, i managed to get to the side of the side of the swimming pool..
Dear Diary..
today went for filming for the Region A special event, Crossroad.. it was slighty dizzling in Yishun.. but had to carry on with the filming.. playing as a bad guy in the video can!! haha.. that's so me.. haha.. but there's still room for improvement.. legs are numb and tired.. but it was fun..
doing a review of me:
during the days in army, training was tough.. commanders are demanding.. but the whole group of us sticked together as like the tv show, Band Of Brothers.. always helping each other, encouraged each other at the same time.. joking around and stuff.. never did we say give up.. nor did we say leaving anyone behind.. and at the same time, i found you.. the precious one.. who will always stay in my heart.. those were the days..
days after the army, they have been good.. especially with you around.. school's okay, with problems here and there.. didn't get angry that much, compared with the days in the army.. but in turn, sad face and emoness.. which are not good.. so have changed ever since.. now happier and cheerful.. but more problems surfaced.. but now.. no more thinking of them anymore!! such a waste of time and energy!! haha.. these are the days!!
