My 17th Birthday!

~xX~12 September~Xx~
A very special day.
Anyone wants to guess?
Bleh, nobodies here anyway so I'll just engage on a 1 on 1 rant to myself.
Cause I feel like it.
It was my birthday!
Whoooo.
My mum has always told me that birthdays are important.
As such, no matter what, I insist on celebrating all birthdays of my friends.
And also to the point of wishing those who I am not very close with.
Some hate me, some love me.
Take your pick,
if its the first choice I'm not bothered about it.
Ok, thats a lie, cause I regret that we cant be friends.
Maybe next time huh?
And to those who love me (or like me),
I'd like to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.
Cause it really means alot to me.
Whether you guys read this tomorrow...
a month later....
a year later.....
a decade later...
or never get to read this at all.
Just know that it means alot to me.
Well enough of the sorry introduction.
I was kinda pissed on my birthday for some reasons too.
Partially cause I have a father who doesn't give a damn.
Here is a good example.
My dad knows all of his sons hobbies.....
That is except mine.
So one day at lunch....
Dad: "Hey Daniel."
Me: "?"
Dad: "I heard you collect stamps from your mum."
Me:"....*thinks for a moment and curses him to eternal damnation* No dad... I collect cards."
Dad:"Oh is it?"
*End of conversation*
Nice one dad, _l_ you.
Well, It's not this im Irked about,
It's the fact that he doesn't even know my birthday.
And when my mum told him it was my birthday the first thing that came out of his mouth.
"Oh, i have no money."
FUCK YOU AND YOUR MONEY.
I don't need your money, I just need you to know that I exist.
After that please fuck off, the door is across the living room on the left, Keys on the side.
And a little dissapointed too as some of my closer friends also didn't know it was my birthday.
Well I don't blame them, I may celebrate others birthdays,
But i keep silent on mine.
I always tell myself its the thought that counts.
But somehow these thoughts don't make me any happier.
Well, thats about all for the dissapointing part of that day.
Moving on,
I had an awesome time that day and the night before.
The night before was supper at Bedok 85 with the guys.
Even Sherman joined us that day cause it was Xj's last meal before being confined in the army.
We had a good meal as usual and as we walked to the bus stop.
The clock struck 12.
And the guys congrajulated me.
I was one year older, Hurrah.
Hmmmm I got one year older, Doesn't sound like something to celebrate though lols.
But yea, celebrate we shall nonetheless XD
Anyways, the night was prety happening for me.
I recieved 1342 smsed from the guys that night.
Bunch of assclowns.
Although it was hell deleting and counting them,
I really had fun.
Like i said its the thought. =D
I finally finished the job at 6 a.m in the morning.
I recieved smses all the way till 2a.m in the morning.
lols
And also, My facebook wall had 60+ wishes from friends.
Compared to the past 3 years i had that account.
Its practically thrice to four times the amount I used to recieve.
Which made me pretty happy. =D
And later that day (my birthday),
Due to the late late late night i had trying to delete all my messages.
I woke up late to meet Jeremy to go for the mecha art exhibition at West Coast Plaza.
Well, since I was feeling important that day.
I decided to take a cab down.
Worst mistake of my life.
Ever.
Seriously.
I paid a whooping $**** (Not telling youuu) for that ride.
My wallet practically went from overwieght to serverly underweight.
Oh well, it was my birthday anyways.
Yeap I finally got there to meet jeremy.
Saw the pitifull exhibitions.
And went there just to laugh at some idiots singing there.
But I met some singer called Chiroru Hosino there.
Jeremy's friend and an aspiring singer.
I Got her to autograph my token that had a singer on it that day.
Quite fitting i suppose =O
Well, so it wasn't a total waste.
Anyways after that we went to meet up with the rest at Down Town East.
We played at the arcade for awhile before proceeding to eat a late lunch *in my case*.
We decided to try out something new that day and ate at a noodle house there.
The noodles weren't bad and while I was ordering my meal *as usual I took a year to choose*
The uncle overheard that it was my birthday and decided to treat me to a meal!
I was seriously surprised.
I guess thats the goodwill of humans for you as well as birthday luck!
*I won a local tourny on my birthday the previous year*
Hurrah for birthday luck!
And well, the meal that day tasted really nice.
Probably because I was enjoying myself. >=3
After dinner, I went up to the arcade for a game treat from Aki and took pictures with Xj...
Before he lost his hair to the singapore government that is lols.
And with that I headed back home for dinner with my family.
When I went back home.
I got pissed again.
My mum told me to be back before 8 for dinner.
But when i reached home, only me and my mum was at home.
No one else was there.
Thanks alot to my wonderfull family members.
My father had dragged my younger brothers along to play badminton.
And my older brother went out to do whatever he usually does.
I don't know.
So i rotted at home for 2 hours before they came back.
And the only thing to note was the cake I had after dinner.
My meal with my family wasn't that enjoyable..
Due to some factors....
And feeling a little tired out i went to rest.
I had to be there to send off Xj the next day after all.
Haaaa....... That was how i celebrated my birthday.
As for birthday presents...
I recieved two that day o.o
One was from my buddy qing wen!
He gave me his Leo howl that day.
That made me really happy as it was a card that had saved me one too many times.
I really liked that card. Thanks buddy! XD

Well, the other present was from Sherman and the dudes from PRDC.
I said Sherman in particular cause this was definately his idea.
I got a Pack of 12 condoms.
At first I was like, wow, Sherms actually got something for me?
Cool.
Thats what I thought before opening the trademark Sherman newspaper wrappings.
After i opened it, Well my reaction was a mix of laughing and swearing.
Lols, that of course made my day.
=D
I plan to keep it untill I am old.
Then when I look at that present.
I will really have something to think back and laugh about.
Although its useless for me now dude, I thank you for that priceless moment.
And also I'll like to think that there is a secret hidden meaning behind the condoms.
Ys got a pack of 3 on his birthday!
I got a pack of 12 on mine!
O.O
I want to think that I'm like 4 times more important than Ys this way!
LOL
TAKE THAT YS! *Throws a water filled codom at Ys*
Just kidding though XD
Haha
Well yeap, thats whats happened on my birthday this year.
Pretty interesting no doubt.
I'll always remember this birthday.
Cause it is definately one to remember.
Thanks alot once againg guys.
You made my day.
This is Daniel,
Signing Off!
Ciiiaozzz!

Xj's Farewell chalet - Hosted by QQ!

~xX~ 25 August ~Xx~
Xiang Jie's Farewell Chalet, Eddy/Bradley's birthday celebration.
Ah, When was the last time I have enjoyed a chalet?
Well, Personally this would be the first chalet that I really geniunely enjoyed.
From the crowd, to the stuff we did-
It was really a memoriable event.
Though the plans looked good on paper.
Stuff like that doesn't come to life from the paper.
It's the people that make it happen.
And as usual, as for all barbeques that i have attended.
The group worked our asses off like slaves.
I don't know how it would feel to slack off and par-tae....
And though I do complain, I won't deny that i enjoy cooking for people.
Because it brings a smile to their faces.
But, a little recognition, consideration and sympathy should be present.....
So here, I'll acknowledge two important people that deserve it:
Terence, The host and planner for the chalet.
Ye Siang, Who cooked most of the food in the earlier part of the night and started the fires.
Of course, I'd love recognition too, but ultimately, the one who should recognise my efforts the most should be myself. If others recognise my efforts that would be a bonus though. ;D
Well, here is an account of what happened! :P
Oh yea! By the way, is it fate or destiny?
The chalet room we got was the same as the one that Bryan had chose to hold his birthday chalet in!
Interesting....
Day 1
For most part of the day, it was preparation for the barbeque the next day.
PRDC, some peeps from Akatsuki and some dudes from the Jubeat Clique came.
We had a fun time just socialising, playing cards and being idiots.
Speaking of being idiots..... Terence, A.K.A QQ, was a pain in the ass when it came to sleeping.
Sidetracking from QQ abit......
The plan was to divide the two rooms in the chalet between PRDC and Akatsuki.
Not cause we are social bastards.
But because of space constraint =O.
Now...
On to Mr.Terence Teng/QQ.....
That Turban wearing Cheese Pie.....
The situation is as such....
Me, Xiang Jie, QQ and Ye siang were pretty tired from preparation stuff...
Hence we decided to take breaks and stuff in the room.
The only bed that was available was a large King/Queen sized bed.
So bo bian, it could only accomodate 4 people at one go without getting too squeezy.
And without much choice, we all got onto the bed to rest.
Thats when we realised we had made a big mistake....
We were on a bed with Terence....
That gay piece of *****************
He started touching us and making wierd sounds.
Well, basically it was just to disturb us.
But which straight guy likes to get touched by another guy...
Especially near the privates,
Hence we commenced an assault on Terence!
BEAT ONLY!!!!
After the first wave, we were tired so decided to call a truce and Terence toned down for abit.
But he soon resumed his Idiocy when Jeremy came.
Jeremy subbed for Xj on the bed as Xj went to play cards with akatsuki outside.
And jeremy got raped by Terence.
Quite the scene, with both of them grabbing each other's balls...
Definately disturbing, but hey-
If jeremy was getting raped, that would leave me and Ys in peace!
Lolol soon he disturbed me and Ys again and with some strategic planning,
I managed to secure a place on the edge of the bed far from terence's grasp for a brief period of time.
But he is as persistant as a rock is hard and he soon came after me.
And me and jeremy decided to hide in the cupboard to sleep.
Best Place EVARRRR! XD
Woke up later to buy stuff and sort out some matters.
And due to having no space at the chalet at night, Me, Aki and Qw didn't sleep.
And we decided to play a really fun board game called dominion!
I was like a freaking zombie while playing the game @.@
But surprisingly I didn't do half bad!
I guess I do have a certain talent for strategy games! =O
Just a wild guess though!
Went to sleep at 7 in the freaking morning!
Yeap, that was probably the more interesting part of day 1 of the chalet! XD
Oh oh oh! We also prepared the water bombs that day =D
Preparations for ninja mission were up!
Day 2.
Woke up at 1 later that day ( I slept at 7A.M in the morning. that same day)
PRDC had been invited by Xj over to his house for lunch.
Reason was erm..... well to be honest it was in Chinese so i didn't catch most of it.
Thanks for the meal Xj! The curry was nice! XD
And well, after that it was the steady anticipation for the later part of the day....
The day of the Barbeque and the day of the big birthday bash. =D
Well the barbeque is like all others,
We have the hard workers and the slackers and the people who give the moral support.
It was an Ok-Ok BBQ and didn't end up eating alot.
Definately not worth my money.... but oh well,
It was for the sake of the fun and stuff so yea.
I went a little hungry.
What to do, what to do, toodle-dee-loop-de-loop.
Oh well the anticipation for what would happen next spurred me on.
Oh right, a whole lot of people turned up that night!
From the Jubeaters to the rest of Akatsuki and even the peeps working at the cs arcade!
It was quite the big scale thing!
But enough of that lets fast forward to the main attraction!
The Birthday bash for eddy and bradley.
As well as the all time favourite Bing Jun and his comrade arthur.
Water bombs, eggs, flour and other random stuff galore!
It was the Vietnam war all over again.
We totally dominated them with projectiles!
I was trying not to get hit but well, Nick threw a egg at Arthur....
But he had the accuracy of a blind man and he threw it at me instead and it hit me in the head.
Ouch... Egg to the head is pain!!! D;
And it cracked... Which meant that my hair had egg yolk...
Ewwwwwww
But anyways following that i didn't get hit any more and as i said...
WE DOMINATED EDDY/BING JUN/BRADLEY/ARTHUR!
LOL
Eddy walked back to the chalet like a snowman.
Even big shots like Sebastian (Ah long) were not spared!
In the crossfire, many other souls were damaged,
Including Ye Siang, Terence, Joel and a whole lot more (Can't remember! ><)
I wanted so much to nail Eugene with a water bomb,
But he pleaded with me not to and yea, I didn't.
Damn really was looking forward to throwing that at him.
But my kindness was rewarded!
Later on, Nick decide to throw a water bomb at my direction,
And i dodged that with such speed, precision and grace! (LARGELY EXAGGERATED!)
And I nailed him back in the head with the Flour-Water bomb that was meant for Eugene!
So at that point we were even and to my surprise Nick showed me the thumbs up for the shot!
I scored a total of six head shots that day, which is pretty good! XD
I love head shots!
Well, we all left tired back to the chalet (and also a big mess back there whoops),
And went one by one to clean up.
After getting all clean and stuff, I followed Kai to Macs to get an apple pie to eat while he bought
nuggets for the dudes! Thx Kai! =D
Stayed up late again to play dominion with Aki and Qw again.
And I managed to win quite a number of times which really surprised me!
Next, I played my spell-striker OTK deck with Akatsuki and manged to Otk Bing Jun with dimension wall! EPIC WIN!
Ancient Holy Wyvern <>
Lololol!
The fun for the night didn't stop there!
We had our dear Bing Jun pull some Epic stunts in the room!
He did get a sound beating for that from Terence and the rest though! XD
*INSTANT R-R-R-R-REPLAY*
Bing Jun enters the room while the others are trying to sleep.
*Akatsuki was crashing in the room too cause Marcus decided to puke in their room*
He then proceeds to disturb the whole group by shouting "GOOD MORNING SINGAPORE!"
then he goes over to Terence and starts annoying him and playing with his hair.
Terence then goes medieval on Bj!
*C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!*
He also grabs Bing Jun's Balls and forces him to apologise.
But Bing Jun doesn't go down without a fight.
Multiple attempts to get him into submission failed.
when asked "WHO GUAI LAN HUH???" by Terence while in the fearsome Ball-grab technique,
He still manages to hold off and answer "WO GUAI LAN!"
Which caused Terence to squeeze harder = GG for Bj!
He soon gave up and stumbled out the room in defeat, leaving a quote behind.
"Today you win"
And after that, everyone thought that peace had come back and they tried to sleep after the lights went out, BJ came back in and said :
"Another Day"
Well, I'm not sure if this has that much of an impact on the you readers, but...
Trust me It was really funny!
I Don't know how the heck he comes up with stuff like that all the time!
After that, it was round two of WWE, Hell in a cell match 1 v All.
I think we can guess who the 1 is lolol.
I was sitting outside with Sebastian & Aki the whole time and I laughed so hard.
After all that i was really tired and hence i decided to go to sleep.
But due to the fact that Akatuski had come inside our room to sleep,
There was an even bigger space constraint than before with 11 people already in the room.
I spent the night in my favourite spot of course so I wasn't really bothered much.
I slept in the wardrobe with a pillow!
BEST PLACE EVAR!
Day 3!
As fun as it was, it had come to an end and we had to book out.
Hmmm, that sounds like the army except for the part about fun lololol.
Well we left to book out the chalet and return the key.
And we decided to eat breakfast at the coffee & toast house at DTE.
I ate the Nasi Lemak and it was pretty good ^T^
My body was begging for sleep!
I guess all of our bodies demanded sleep.
After all what is a chalet without the late nights?
It is the same as a barbeque...
WHAT IS A BARBEQUE WITHOUT THE STOMACH ACHES???
So We decided to go home to rest for awhile first before meeting up later.
But, I was so tired that i slept till 10P.M
And yup i missed meeting the guys later on and as they stayed up the whole time.
While i was awake, they all had been K.O-ed!
Lots of laughs for me! lolol
Okies, That was pretty long, but it is what happened.
I really enjoyed myself, and i would really love to have another chalet some other time!
I really wish time would stop at moments like these.
Instead of dragging me in chains down the bottom of the sea.
I hate the cold despair that life throws at me sometimes.
Well, I guess that's life.
A roller coaster ride, with no seat belts.
Why the absence of seat belts?
Because if you lose something, you can never get it back.
In this case, your life.
So bottom line, always treasure what memories you hold dear.
But most importantly, don't wait for them to become memories!
Cherish the here and now.
For tomorrow is a mystery, the past is a memory and the present is a defining moment.
Okies, Daniel the awesome!

Natsu Matsuri 2010!

~xX~ 21st August ~Xx~


NATSU MATSURI!!!!


After a month long wait, It finally came!

I was looking forward to this outing with PRDC for several reasons!

#1- Candied Apples!

#2- Yukatas!

#3- New Experience!

And Last but definately NOT least!

For the Fun of it of course!

Haha, Long had it been since I was brain washed by Japanese Cartoons or Anime as we call them into viewing events around us in much greater (sometimes worse) Light than normal. One such event was the Japanese Summer Festivals. I alwats believed that these festivals were what I saw in the Animes i watched and I had always wanted to attend one for the feel of it At least once in my life, before I close my eyes and fall into eternal slumber.

And Yea an overview of the whole event summed up would be that It was a very enriching experience!

The sights, the smell and the atmosphere, everything was just like a real Festival!

Though it was rather small scale, I believe that it was really good!

This being my first time at such an event, I have no way to tell if this was anything like the festivals in Japan, but hey, it was fun and I enjoyed it so with a contented smile on my face, I have no complaints... Okay maybe a few.... but i definately don't regret it!

Our party to Natsu Matsuri consisted of the Couple - Lawrence & Shermaine, Jeremy, Ryan, Xiang Jie, Ye Siang, Qing Wen, Sherman & Jolene (Sherm's GF), Terence and Eugene. We met some familier faces there like Eric, Wei Kang, Ah Eng & Ron.

Well Let me attempt to breakdown the order of the event.

Firstly, came the Godly wait to buy the tickets.

We waited a whooping 4 hours to get in to the place!!!

4 HOURS!!!! I SAT TILL MY BUTT DIED!

We Had Camped there since 1p.m for the tickets as Jeremy had warned us about a long Queue.

Well, he was right. Lol

Since Jeremy already had 2 tickets, He and I decided to perform some Ninja skill 101 to get the tickets for the dudes faster. Apparently we could only help with the meager Yukata Problem. With over 400 Pre-event tickets already sold and distributed, and the number of Yukatas falling way below 400 we had no choice but to utilise the ancient art of sneakiness as directed by Daniel in order to try to secure the Yukatas. Unfortunately, try as we might there just wasn't enough time to put my genius plot into act and as some of us were not present then, we only managed to secure 4 yukatas which were worn by Me, Ye Siang, Sherman and Jolene.

I regret i couldn't do more but yet again, i tried my best so i hope that it will count. Gomen!

After the Yukatas, Jeremy helped my pull some strings and got me a Candied Apple!

Ok here is the best thing about the festival.

The Candied Apple.

Well, for those who are curious about the taste......

Imagine a Lollipop... That tastes like cotton candy.... With a delicious apple encased within!

Haha but it wasn't the taste that made it special for me.

Nope, It was the fact that my candied Apple Had stayed with me for 5 hours and had lasted me through the whole event.

At first I was like whaaaat? $5 for a candied apple?

Well i Didn't have much of a choice since even if i died i wanted to try one..

So yea there went $5.

But after that i realised that it was pretty worth it!

It was my companion, my toy and my snack...

Thinking about it now makes me feel sad T_T

It was like a comrade to me.

Now at least it is safe to say that it has become one with my soul haha!

But yes, I really liked that particular candied apple as it was my first.

And definately the most memorable one I'll ever have in my life.

First Impressions are always important haha!

Well, next up some random stuff!

Jeremy Kept going MIA to buy beer!

Japanese Ice cream tastes pretty nice! (That's what i say about all Ice Cream!)

Green Tea without Sugar tastes..... like green tea without sugar? LOL

Met up with sec sch buddies Edgar, Kenji and some other guy (forgot your name! T_T sorriee!)

Watched a really Bori--- *COUGH* I mean interesting performance *COUGH COUGH*.

Prayed to the gods to not let it rain!

Sat in the middle of a huge mat with many others to soak up the atmosphere of the event.

Gazed at clouds!

Did stupid stuff (Like Duh, I wouldn't be Daniel if I didn't do these)

Found a Yukata for Shermaine, which she bought along with Lawrence.

And yea... that is about it...

Or is it....?

Haha Wait wait there is one more interesting thing that happened!

It was after the event...

As usual, PRDC is a pretty laid back goup of dudes and dudettes XD

So we decided to chillax and wait for the throngs of people to leave first before taking our leave.

And by some stroke of luck, the management gave us many many water balloon thingalings to bring home! But of course, we didn't bring many home.

Instead, we Used them to beat each other with and threw them all arond the place!

Let me tell you, It has really been such a long time since i really had so much fun!

Hahaha, even now, as i look back at what happened...

It brings a smile to my face.

A really big smile haha =D


Well, that was really a day well spent!

And even now, I will vote any time any day in favour of going again!
Haha, well that would be it for my Experience at Natsu Matsuri!

Now to move on to something a little emo and stuff =(




Haha in all my life, I have always been rather the boring type of guy.

Not really going out, never venturing, never seeking new sights.

I never dreamed that one day I would be doing something like this!

Haha, much has changed since 4 year years back.

Now that i recall, These past 4 years have probably been the best 4 years of my life.

Haha.... Don't know why I'm saying such things but yeah, I just feel like i need to say it...

Or I'll never get the chance to...

Yeaps, I've met many people and I have definately grown as an individual...

And I hope that what my future holds in store for me will continue to bring more interesting and exciting chapters to the book entitled "My Life Story".


Well, enough of that part for now,

Its really late now and im still awake....

Just felt that i had to at least do this before sleeping so yeap here it is!

Well, My eyes are drooping now so I'll finish up the other posts tommorrow!

This is Daniel here,

Wishing everyone out there a very good night!

Peace out!

Daniel, Signing Off!
