starry eyed monster

Hello.

I am a starry eyed moster who loves the song starry eyed fish. Don’t be confused one is a look the other is a song. After my exam on Friday, it would mark the end of three years in Temasek Polytechnic.

I am extremely elated that I passed my practical today. It may be coincidence or not that everytime I wear my favourite red starry boxers and wear a number 5 tag, I pass my practical. Haha

I must stop skipping meals and eat regularly.

I will mug very hard for my last paper because its my last exam until like University?

I’m typing on behalf of Mr starry eyed monster.

Good day ya’ll

xoxo

I want to

This lent, i want to…

  • fast from getting angry
  • fast from being too quick to judge others
  • fast from being impatient
  • fast from being cynical
  • fast from spending money unnecesarily

People move faster when they are alone; a yes and a no.

valentine

Thank you for your box of wonderful innets. It sure feelsl like its my birthday.

We had this really nice dinner at this really nice place. The thing is, i cant tell u where because it is sacred. Maybe u could ask me if u really wanted to find out.

We went to shaw lido to catch psily and though the theatre was really huge, it was very very noisy and irritating because people just wont shut up before a movie.

I am broke. I hate spending money. I hate desserts. People dont really understand what i want.

Hello holy season.

Its becoming especially hard not to do things that are wrong. Temptations are all over the place. First pnw event for 2008 coming up. Exciting!

Oh dear, now it suddenly occurs to me that there cant possibly be much serving this year thanks to the army. Some say that going to ns doesnt mean u cant do normal stuff altogether, its just a matter of sacrificing. I’ll look into that.

Its the end of the semester. One more exam to go before i say goodbye to my school with too many “benefits”. Goodbye free gym membership.

I need a job. Somebody help me out?

Drummer boy seeks hot wife

I’m a dashing young man seeking a hot and beautiful wife who can bake and willing to stick with me whether the creme brule falls or not. Who’s aroma of flour and sugar will greet my every day and whose chocolate cake will leave me weak in my knees. I will provide you everything you need. From a world class oven to the finest ingredients. I love to travel the world to see the sites. It would be nice if you could bring me the world on a plate. I enjoy savouring desserts of all sorts. Cakes in particular. Loves music and the drums. I’m sure we could work in rhythm of your mixer to my groovy grooves.

Only scrumptious apple crumbles are to call xxx-xxx-xxx

wine and dancing, mindless prancing

Hello. Yesterday was the first time ever that we hosted new year celebrations at our home.

So for once the house was full of people and the huge sitting space we have, fully utilized. I gather everyone had a alot alot of fun since they stayed for like almost 6 hours, leaving only at midnight. I, Joshua Tan, opened up my room, computer throne and my drums to the kids. So unlike me i know..

Anyway, its been a long time since i’ve spoken to my aunties, uncles and cousins so the time spent entertaining them and shelving my work aside was definitely worth it. This means my saturday and sunday will have to be spent finishing up whatever i have undone.

Haha. meet my godbrother Kyran. Who surprisingly finds the drums which by the way is almost a few times his size, interesting. He was constantly amusing himself by hitting whatever his baby arms could reach.

Hello.

Happy Year of the Rat.
(I’m a dragon in case you are wondering.)

Its a sunny yellow banana day. Good food makes me happy. Ice cream from ice cream chefs is like a cherry to top it all off nicely.  I love eating ba kwa and collecting ang paos. Don’t you?

Tomorrow is going to be a really interesting day. I’m going to pretend to be invisible. Hohoho. I miss my iPod. I lent it to some girl who hasn’t returned it to me.

Deadlines to meet. If I don’t meet them, I’m dead. No kidding.

Its a week to that silly day called Valentine’s Day. Seriously, whats the big hoo-ha about it? I will never know.

can i just say

my mum rocks!

She knows I cant get up on time, so she leaves the my room light on to irritate me till I get up.

She knows I cant do without my morning coffee, so she always stocks up before it finishes.

She knows I wont make my own breakfast, so she makes some even when she has to rush to work early.

how far, how fast, how long

I spent 9 hours in school today even when i didnt have school.

My program bugs are so sick the teacher gave up on me the moment the minute arm hit 6 and his brain shat down.

What a way to spend a friday.

So they say there is a limit to pop/rock/funk.

without borders

Heya’ll!

Switchfoot concert was great!

They played the Oh!Gravity album and some of their older but more famous hits as well.

Ok so the lead wasn’t as ugly as he looked on youtube la. Hahaha. Also, bet you didn’t know that one of their members is from Manilla. He was playing percussion, guitar and effects on the keyboard. Asian talent ok!

Turns out that switchfoot attracts a more mature crowd. And of course, part of the new Singaporean youth-hood culture includes having the tendency to “try” and mosh to anything loud and fast, off beat or not.

Or perhaps it was due to the opening acts by the fire fight and west grand boulevard. Then again, there wasnt that much energy imo. Opening acts are meant to warm up the crowd, not get them into the wrong mood no? Still, many opportunities for me to unleash my built up violence tendencies over the months, healthy or not. ha!

Cabbed for supper at 85 with betris and gen and had the usual. Cabbed home as well. Talkative uncle was 3 lanes away from my expressway exit and so i had to put up with him as he missed it and went for an extra long journey home. Thankfully, he didnt charge me extra for the happycabride.

I didnt buy no souvenir tee because they shrink after awhile and… I couldnt afford it. :p

Project submission on Monday and another the following Monday. {rubs hands together, deep breath}

holalo.
