Went out with my secondary school buddies yesterday( Andrew, Calvin, Darren..Bert had SU camp to help out with) They hung out at my place and played Guitar Hero world tour...darren was playing lead guitar 1st before he switched to the mike and started singin'Watching them was super hilarious..=)
The game actually registers your pitch as you sing! cool huh?
After that we went to Holland V after many detours..for our dinner
We went to NYDC, its my first time there..the food prices were like woah( think if my wallet was alive it'll be screaming in 3 languages for me to stop ordering and get out of there )....was kinda on budget haha.. so I ordered Tears In Heaven..its spaghetti with bacon strips in it..yum!
Place we went to..
Quite a small portion..but it was yummy. The high pricing is a put off though( $15+ )..when I first saw the portion I went =.=....looked at Andrew and said..its really Tears In Heaven...the tears are coming from my wallet.Anywayz Mervyn is on his way back from Vietnam tomorrow..gonna welcome him back..
Grace( Yi jie's friend ) posted the video of me climbing the palm on facebook..I was like..OMG!! upon closer inspection of myself in that video, I realized one thing...I look damn retarted climbing that palm...( though I won't admit it anywhere outside this blog but yeah..haha)Went for Karate training today..I got to do goju sparring today after a long time(close distance sparring) I missed how fun it was. I met a fellow SNSD Fan on the bus today! woots! My mom called my phone and after my convo, This girl came and said " Hi, sorry to bother you but was that SNSD's Gee? "ME: er..yup( kinda freaked out )
Her: Oh my god, do you have the full song with you? Me: ya, you want it?
Her: yes,thank youWhile transferring the song we talk about SNSD and stuff( but mostly SNSD ), her name was Ling or li..something I couldn't really hear her and I was too embarrassed to ask her twice.
She's from CJC year 2 this year..Apparently Tae yeon's her Fav in the group, we laugh at how the members of SNSD would be during their live shows and their habits as well as their personality.Transferred Kissing you to her tooWas about to get "Way To Go" from her however it was her stop at Thomson plaza so we said our byez and that was it. Dang it!
Oh well at least I've met another SNSD fan! woots! SNSD fighting!!
Adidas Sundown Marathon is drawing closer..it'll be a gauge of whether I'll take part in the North Face challenge this year.that's all for tonight!

Back with one medal which I got from sunday's competition..got a bronze for kata haha.
( Happiness ) 
I read an article a few days back saying a hawker at newton food centre overcharged a couple of tourist. $238 for 8 or was it 6..big prawns.
I was like omg!! Major Rip Off!!
Luckily the hawker was given a 3months ban..but in my opinion that hawker should have been kicked out of newton food centre for being their dishonesty.
It really gives a big bad impression of our country..can't believe those people! Mervyn is off to Vietnam!!( lucky punk ) go scout for your stuff but please don't get conned or ripped off..haha better bring us back a gift!Singapore's Women Everest Team just arrived in Kathmandu a few days ago..good luck to them! hope they do our country proud!!They really are inspirational...aside from their regular jobs they set aside family and training time.They've summit many mountains like Cho Oyu and now attempt to scale the tallest mountain Mount Everest!For those of you who think scaling a mountain is a walk in the park..it really isn't.I've been playing with Adobe Fireworks and Photoshop these two days haha
created some gif files and edited a few photos.heres some of them
( got this from soshified forums ) Tae yeon is soo funny!!
(heres one from soshi forums, soo young being dragged away! ) cuteness!
Soo Young!
yup they're all SNSD pics for now..kinda experimenting..haha!Their smiles never fail to put one on my face. =)been pondering about some stuff lately...I've come to realise some stuff too...Anyway...Think I'll be quite busy this year..nike human race, new balance real run, salomon X-trail, North face. Have no idea if I should join as a runner or volunteer. I'll ask Jia hui if she's going to any of these when I get the chance.tomorrow's another day=)

Back from training...its pouring madly out there!
Mom cooked pasta! yay+happiness! ( Its been awhile since I ate mom's cooked pasta )
The past few days were really really hectic!! Was preparing showcases,structures and campfires for sports camp!
Some highlights
Carrying the platform of the structure(the thing which the campers get on for photo taking) with 6 people from the blue track to the Admin field was a killer!!
Clarissa, Mervyn, Vanessa, Sidiq, Yi Jie and me was task with this high level job!!
That Coconut Berry platform was insanely heavy!! It's so deceptively light when you look at it but when we carried it..I was like O_O!!!!!!!!
Luckily Mervyn managed to engage the help of a lorry driver to transport the platform to the Admin field halfway through the process! Woots!
We were all cursing and swearing at the platform haha. 
Campfire preparation
While preparing to build the campfire structure the sky wasn't so auspicious..threaten with streaks lightning and beats of thunder I had thought all our efforts of preparing for campfire night would be fruitless!
Lucky for us the weather held up and clearer skies soon followed.
We went on to build our campfire structure only to discover that there was insufficient material for the structure.
We fanned out to look for materials and gathered a whole bunch of supplies. This time we had more people Aliyyah, Bing Hua, Marcus, Matthew, Michelle joined us. ( zaireel came as well )
Together we made a great campfire! 
Bing hua..where are you placing the torch at??
Fire boyz
Check our fire!
After campfire it was home sweet home courtesy of Zaireel!
Thanks for the ride!!
Good Luck for your 9 mountains trip!Still waiting for atc...hope x-ventures have slots so I can join it with her.Going for a karate competition tomorrow..will be doing kata instead of kumite.
well hope I'll do well.
Anyway I surfed the web and came across this video and liked the song!
Its by wonder girls "미안한 마음" The movie is nada sou sou
Its a lil unclear so I'll post a clearer version without subs...
Surfed some more and stumbled on SNSD's Way To Go!!!
enjoy~
Yay! SNSD!
Soo young-Sunny-Yuri-Tae yeon-Tiffany-Seo Hyun-Yoona-Jessica-Hyo Yeon!
Yayness!Yi Jie will probably give that disgusted look when she sees this but hey, its like her with her Super junior! haha!

Just finished the showcase structure for sports camp this morning...dead tired.. Anyway today we completed about 50% of the Structure for the sports camp campfire night. My brother found this pic from the web.. Made me go....O.O; Have been trying to identify all the members of super junior..kinda difficult because they have like 13 members! Yi jie has been playing this song like crazy..its kinda catchy.
I really really dislike spars...
Went to Charmaine's cousin's performance on sunday...she was the guest vocalist.
Here's a vid of her singing unfaithful enjoy~
Yi jie is doing the reverse, she's trying to identify all the members of SNSD..which is so much easier!! they only have 9 members!
Its from Super junior.

Today was Sentosa outing with some of my buddies from TAS! (Bruno, Bing Hua, Clarissa, Darren, Matthew, Mervyn and Yi Jie)Had to withdraw from my bank account ( discovered that there was surplus cash inside! happiness + yayness ) sad that I had to withdraw it=(Haven't went to replace my Ez-link card...I'll do it on monday.Supposed to meet at 10am..ended up late because I missed the train.Went to siloso beach settled our stuff there..after that went to look for frisbee at island life shop.It cost us $5.00!!!! Its a lousy frisbee too..decided to head to 7-11 @ Palawan beach to look for another one.Found one..way better quality..cheaper too $2.90 =(So if you wanna get a frisbee in sentosa...get it from 7-11 at palawan beach..Grr...island life, felt soo cheated.Went back to join the rest and played for awhile..
Sentosa here we come!
In the water! 
In the Sun!
Bruno being draged into the water!At one point of time Darren buried my slippers....Matthew found one of them but couldn't find the other...we dug and check quite a huge area too.The life guard found us so interesting that every second he would glance in our direction( we really looked like we were looking for treasure )We resorted to many methods..using gut instinct, using our legs to feel for it, digging for it even using Yi Jie's method which is my fav..sand angel!Not surprising none of it worked. When all seem lost Yi Jie screamed! and she held up my lost slipper in triumph!( woots )Thank you Yi Jie! I owe you one.Thanks guys for helping me to find that darn slipper.After which we went back to vivocity for late lunch at Carl's junior...
Yay! Carl's Junior! Its been awhile!
If only my burger was that big...
Yi Jie looks happy with her purchase!
My meal!
Happy Faces in Happy Places!After Carl's Junior we window shopped in vivocity killing time then went to Ben and Jerry'sfor Ice-cream before going home.P.S...please don't keep calling bruno..you-know-what...its ok if its just a lil teasing but after awhile it gets offensive.SENSITIVITY people.I'm kinda dissapointed now because I think my trek to Tahan is probably cancelled, due to time constraints and lack of training...really sad...was looking forward to itanyway..Adidas Sundown maraton is coming up!I have been training for it..84km..think I'm going to run to death..been running from my house to macritchie reservoir to Ngee Ann Poly and back...took me roughly 3++hrs...still got a long way to go...I'm thinking of forming a team with X-ventures for NTU ATC haha! 4 men team woots!Going to apply for a part-time job at Ad 21! timing is quite flexible the boss and pay is good + its a chance for me to get to know more adventure driven ppl!! also equipment knowledge.well another day has past..tomorrow is another day.~ryuta~

I'm sure some of us have one point of their life lost a bus card, EZ-link card, phone etc.. losing mine made me realise how dependent I am on these devices.I had to spend $3.oo just to commute to school and back today...didn't really feel the pinch when I had concession pass ouch!Anyway I'm replacing my card on monday and getting my passport size photo tmr after the outing.Walking the path to the bus stop opposite King Albert Park made me remember some of my memories this past 2 yearsfrom when I was just a freshmen
to meeting my new class G03
to when I was lead by others as a member in TAS
to when I was the one who led others
I really had fun during those times...and I'll miss them. However! the present isn't that bad either...as I move on I create new memories that I'll come to cherish!Headed home and watched I shouldn't be alive and Survivor on TV.Surfed the net for some SNSD vid and came across some interesting and funny ones.heres one of SNSD's MV titled "kissing you"enjoy~ryuta~

Well today was quite an uneventful day...grounded myself at home because I don't wanna travel without my ez-link card...took the time to sort out my room when I woke up.Found out that one of the IRs in Singapore plans to buy whale sharks to be place in their aquarium.....
Just take a look at how huge this fish can grow...I mean I don't think it's wise to keep a whale shark in captivity..it's chances of surviving is quite low no matter how much care or how big and well equipped your state of the art aquarium is, there is nothing compared to the riches of the ocean.It is just plain greed for money that fuels their delusions of grandeur...I feel sad for the sharks that are bought if the decision is allowed to stand.Such majestic creatures aren't meant to be caged!Surfed the net and found the registration page for NTU Adventure Trail Challengeit looks fun!
I enjoyed my last Adventure race...so I was thinking of signing up for this.
I wanted to tell her about it..but I don't know if I should...I mean I don't wanna confuse her as it is but...I can't help but feel helpless. I want to join this race with her I really do..but I think if I ask her she might feel pressured..its the same when I want to talk to her...I just don't know what to do...
Hopefully it all turns out wellGoing to replace my ez-link card tomorow -_-) hope it doesn't cost too much....~ryuta~

Went clubbing last night with Charmaine, Rebecca and Calvin. We went to zouk(yayness) only had a few drinks though..we mostly just hung around, chat and took a few pictures (shall upload them when I get them from Rebecca, went to hit the dance floor after that( I must admit I'm not much of a dancer but who cares? its just for fun!)=)
Saw a few...guys who...had more female hormones than male.(funny)=)
Charmaine and Rebecca kept using them to disturb me, those two had so much fun doing that while I was afriad of what to do if one of them heard us =(
To make things worse I wore a white colour shirt which glowed blue in the lighting..like some beacon or something=(
spoke with Charmaine about the usual stuff haha ( fun! )
Seeing how high some people were was really interesting.(Laughed at some people ) We left around 1+ after seeing Rebecca off..and decided to walk from Zouk to Dhoby Ghaut in search of pool.
Had a rest at Great World City for some maggi on the way.
We later found out the shop was closed at Dhoby Ghaut..so we decided to walk a lil' more to SMU for our rest. Can't believe we walked all the way.( I was dead tired and hungry )
Chat with Charmaine and Calvin for awhile before walking to the mrt station to take the 1st train
As I neared the gate(the place where u tap you ez-link in the mrt station)..I reach for my ez-link card...and realised...it was gone!!
my face was -_-) to O_O)
noooo!!!!!
I walked back to SMU but couldn't find it....guess I must have dopped it somewhere else...sadz..gonna spend money again! ohh ez-link why? why did you drop out of my pocket...( sob =( )
Was supposed to go kayaking with John today too!!!! If it wasn't for my lost Ez-link card!!!!!( so sorry John) I was soo looking forward to kayaking too!!!! Argh!!!!
Now without any ez-link is so troublesome -_-) ..haiz
Anyway...Here's a SNSD video to make this entry a lil more cheerful..its one of my favs
its title 'GEE' some of you may have watched it already mwhahahahaha!

Yesterday..woke up with a heavy heart..because of last night.
Went back to school yesterday to assist in painting clubhouse.Mervyn, Matthew, Bruno, Marcus and Clarissa. Yi Jie helped a lil too but had to settle some stuff so she left early with Jason.Jason if you're reading this, stop constantly disturbing poor Yi Jie or you'll bound to be slapped one day.Anyway today's plan was to paint the clubhouse cool blue...took us some time to clean and clear up the clubhouse. Here are some before pics
Woohoo cleaning up!
Painting
Happy painter
Dirty Fan? no problem!
Our guys will take care of it
And its sparkling clean!!Introducing the newly arranged clubhouse!
Doesn't it look cozy?
Heh Heh! Club house Com!
The Clubhouse cabinet is over here!
Check out our clean fan
Clubhouse Clean up Crew (Mervyn, Matthew, Clarissa, Marcus and Bruno)These guys are damn cool, stayed until 9...woah talk about determination.I left half way like about 530pm to go for Floorball practice..it's been awhilebut I still love it! =DSent her a long sms with my reply coz I couldn't get through to her, could feel my heart beat and hand shaking when I was calling her.After practice went to shower...haha its been awhile since I showered at the sports complex.When I was about done...I picked up my phone and the next thing I knew, her name appeared on my caller ID..I was like OMG!I ran out half naked and I was smiling while took the call.(People around must have thought I was crazy)I'm really happy we talked.
I'll walk on slowly ahead first...while I wait for you to catch upWent out to eat dinner with the clubhouse clean-up crew after that was home sweet home.Too tired to blog last night...fell asleep after talking to Charmaine( that girl...always loves to tease me...)tomorrow's another day=)~ryuta~

Smiles and TearsWent bag shopping with mervyn, matthew and michelle today. Went to Campus Corner, Adventure 21, Outdoor life and National Geographic.Went to campus 1st, had to J-walk under the rain >.<...Matthew was considering to get the compressible baja bag( the one with the quick release air valve ). I've just discovered today that Michelle likes red...nono..maybe like is an understatement..Michelle LOVES red to death.Seriously..that girl has issues with the colour red....but what really stunned me was what she said..Me:"Whats your budget?"Michelle:"No budget"Me:".......!"That stunned me..like for 2 whole seconds....I wish I had the cash to allow me to say that=(.went to Adventure 21 after that...got back my 65L mammut Traverse back!(woots).Loaned it to Richard for the annapuna trek in nepal.Chat with Gordon for awhile and saw the trek photos..one word..BEAUTIFUL...I really missed the Trek in Nepal.Then I saw at the corner of my eye..Michelle and Matthew carrying Mammut bags...was like O.OAnd they were gong to buy it on the spot...so different from me when I bought mine...needed to come back to Adventure 21 a few times before deciding to purchase my Mammut.Initially Michelle wanted to get a maroon coloured one which looks damn good! but the system isn't that suited for her. She then picked up another Mammut bag..this time its a blue one.After much contemplation Michelle FINALLY decided to get a blue Mammut silvestre 60L(after she said she didn't like blue last night on msn) and Matthew a black Mammut Arete 65L.Both bought their bag then..Rich Kids.Mervyn bought a Tatonka raincover....Before leaving I asked Gordon whether there were vacancies for part-timmers...he said he'll check it out..hope i can get to work there XD...asked him about Island Peak too...I so wanna go there.Now 5 people have a Mammut bag...hahaha..can make a Mammut stempede.heres the pic of 3 Mammut supporters + the camera man(Mervyn) thats 4.
(Me. Matthew, Michelle and our Mammuts)
Nat Geo ish cool!
guess what I bought?Went to Nat Geo to buy an outer shell..love it!
its damn cool! Shall post it here another day...After that I went to Ikea to meet Bruno, Yi jie and Marcus along with Matthew at alexandra road. Went to scout for some clubhouse stuff then dinner. Yi Jie asked if she replied me yet..I said nope and asked if I should call her...she said yes...that girl.( Charmaine told me about the same thing )well when I got home on this cold starless night..I received my answer...she msned me a link to her answer.I sort of got the idea of what she's trying to say and I totally understand her..but I guess I consider that as a rejection for now...till further notice.I haven't reply her yet coz i wanna say it to her rather than msn her..I'm just that sort of person..I guess I'll leave it for tomorrow.(feelings are locked up inside me, it's causing me pain in my chest as slient cries are made accompanied by a stream of tears)>>details tmr.
Went sentosa today with my buddies from NPFloorball, it was fun...played volleyball soccer, basketball. Think I got a tan...I almost lost my New Balance shirt though...was taking a photo when I turned back I saw my supposely drying shirt missing! I was like O_O; no way...
Cursed my luck but luckily I found the IDIOTS who took the shirt in the toilets...ask them if they mistakingly took the shirt( they were camping next to us ). Turn out they did...didn't even bother going back to our spot to return me my shirt..Had to walk quite a distance half-naked...( jeez.. )
Been playing with this lil' thing called the rubik's cube..trying to solve all of its faces( Can only do one now though)
(Thanks andrew for teaching me how to solve this thing the rite way)
Ever had that feeling...where even though you have so much friends and family that care for you but you still feel you're all alone?
I have decided long ago that no matter what the outcome..I'll continue walking
Even if I have to walk alone.(Its been awhile since I heard from you..All I want you to know is that the things I said to you then are from the botom of my heart)
