About Me

Amicably shy. ^^ Whatever that meant. I'm from Singapore, sunny equatorial island by the sea, in South East Asia. Er...I suppose I'm more of the introverted type. I don't even speak a lot amongst friends, but on the other hand, I feel the need to talk non-stop if I'm with a (really) close friend. Fortunately or not, my introverted-ness doesn't extend to my online journal, so you'll find me crapping a lot here. I love writing. :)

comfort music

Posted by yuch at 12:41 AM on August 21, 2005.

Now and then I like listening to music with no real point. Slow, soothing stuff, (ballads, is that what they call it? i don't think so actually) pianos, guitars, strings. Comfort music.

It's weird how you can be in a very neutral mood. Like no particular feeling. With some comfort music, finding you have absolutely nothing to do, just sitting in front of the computer screen. (I have lots and lots and lots of shows to watch but I just don't get down to them. Very draining, all the arty films. On my sanity.)

Oh give me some purpose in my life. I could start a religion, I guess.

"ton"

Posted by yuch at 09:34 AM on July 15, 2005.

I'm not too sure about the spelling (if there actually is one), but it's basically  teen-speak here (anywhere else? i dunno) for "staying up the whole night".

It' damn cool to have a friend that'll come sing ktv with you the whole night, on a moment's notice. (not mine, a friend's) Damn cool.

Anyway, we tried 6 hours straight of singing, and i was groggy after midnight so I think I sounded like I was gagging.

There were *supposed* to be more people (it's all abt having more people and screaming the place down, isn't it?), but in the end grown-up boys in army are more sensible so they don't stay up overnight any longer. sigh. yes, unlike me and my ktv kaki, of course.

problem is that i'm not the totally wild party type so i don't go out with those friends who're that type. i don't go clubbing. but i like going to watch midnight shows, and i like ktv-ing no matter the time of the day. it's funny that most people are on either extreme (party and non-party), and i'm stuck somewhere in the middle with no one to go out with. i can like name three people (let's not include 65ers since they're amenable to practically everything, heh) in my usual social circle who'll go out with me in the middle of the night. that's like weird, man. i may need to expand said social circle and start clubbing, that way i can find more people to do stuff with me at 3am in the morning.

In any case coke light is the way to go. for some very strange reason i think the coke/pepsi actually prevented a sore throat.

soothing. oh well the next time i'm not available in the day (i.e. i'm sleeping) it's because i wasn't home the last night, ****ers.

To XX

Posted by yuch at 01:03 PM on July 11, 2005.

To two friends of mine, whom I've not stayed in touch as I should:

I realised that I've seriously undervalued your idealistic, pure and honest views of friendships. (I hope army hasn't changed that) In fact, when has it been since I've known a person who'd give me a poster just because I mentioned I liked a certain character in the show? Up to now, never. I've met a lot more selfish people, people who never consider others at all before themselves, people who are just plain assholes. All the more to contrast that with you.

I've had to apologise for this many times, and to many people, that I'm simply not reachable. As in, that I'm quiet and all, so I don't talk much with people. I'm afraid that after all, I'm not a very interesting person. I don't suppose our interests coincide much, which is perhaps a reason why I'm not easily drawn deeply into a very good friendship. But absence of mutual interests have and should never get in the way of recognising a good friend - it's just that I don't know how to actually reciprocate.

At the end of the day, it's the seemingly small things that you never forget, trite as it might have seemed to you. I know a good guy when I see one (and especially when he gives me cookies, haha).

Eh, all that sounded seriously gay, but at the end of the day I'm sorry, really sorry that this is the only way I can tell you guys that while it lasted, it was really nice. And I hope there'll be more to come.

There's not much good people left in this world, I realise.

suggestion form

Posted by yuch at 03:23 AM on July 3, 2005.

I am damn sure that you can generate useful suggestions by forcing people to come up them (there's actually a...quota), to which they come up with stupid, lame dumbass ones like inventing lightsabers to cut costs. There were quite a few people who suggested getting rid of this whole "petition us for suggestions" scheme, but surprisingly they got rejected. Probably because it makes people (as in those who're in charge of this novel new idea) look busy and thus deserve their pay more. The people who actually come up with useful ideas are those that would have done it anyway, with or without the whole suggestions-scheme thing.

Maybe Sim Wong Hoo should try the same thing to beat Apple. I'm sure there're be a gem or two in a million suggestion forms, just that he'd probably need the power of a conscript army to do something as remotely stupid as that.

the gallery

Posted by yuch at 01:43 AM on January 15, 2005.

Mmm...long time since I penned a tabulas entry. tabulas has this new look! cool! If you're using the yuch.webhop.net link you realise you're redirected here because livejournal is down. Freak. Even LJ goes down these days (not that I really fault them...really.)

The main reason for this post is because tabulas gives me a gallery while lj does not, (update: and yes, because LJ is down). I'm hoping negimaki approves me application for it's free hosted wp ang gallery. It totally rocks, what they offer.











Visited ahs today because des was saying the scouts were cute. aha, we even did a trestle race which had us all breathless (pretty damn tiring for pieces of wood). Played (very little) soccer with some juniors and surprisingly found them lousier than me. heheh.

We later went to 85 to eat, spent 15 minutes arguing where to go, then wound up at jay's house because he wanted to play world of warcraft. That game looks addictive, man. Maybe I'll try after ORD. But expensive...Sigh.

Following that we had yet another debate on what we were going to do (sans jay because he was glued to the comp), namely watch a movie at tm, watch a movie at jay's place, or go to des's place because he has a problem with his comp and wants me to troubleshoot. In the end we did none of those and went over to princess in the hopes of catching a late night kung fu hustle. Unfortunately the only show showing at midnight was the ancient "shall we dance?". Yes, not even any RA shows for those old men show at midnight (surprisingly).

So we ended up eating, again, at the mac downstairs, before I caught the second last bus home.
