[the cow love story]

Once upon a time, in a far far away forest, there was a tree.
Under the tree, there was a snail.
A snail was dead.

So i'll stop writing about the snail.



Today, there lives a beautiful cow living on a vast green meadow.
She is Susan. She is from a land called Australieare.

She does not eat fruit, just like Don.


BUT.


One day, she ate orange and mangosteen.
After a long time of integration and binomial theorem, she has come up with this conclusion:

Susan prefers to eat orange rather than mangosteen

SUDDENLY.

there were lightning EVERYWHERE, strong winds, rain, tornadoes

and BAM.

Susan becomes an orange-spotted purple cow.
Her meadow became the HMV store.

She exclaimed: "kdahglk kjlkj a 214354 * 547&^$*($((*&%*????"

wait a minute, let me check up the cow dictionary.


tah dah. I think this is what Susan said: "Oh. I love Josh Groban!!!!"





OKAY. me too. I love Josh Groban too.






THe next second, the HMV store became the meadow again.
And Susan sang the Ricola song.

A rabbit called Charlotte happily hopped towards Susan the purple cow. And asked: "Hey! Why are you purple?"
Susan answered: "Because I'm not green"
Susan asked Charlotte: "Why are you a rabbit?"
Charlotte answered: "Because I have long ears?"
and they both sang the Itsy Bitsy Spider song.

remember the snake that was already dead in my other love stories?
ok.
It's STILL dead. after all of this has happened.

anyway. those are the words on its tombstone:

R.I.P
here lies Snakie.
who used to wear a twig by the way.
Snakie's last words: "Please buy Don's funorama coupons"
"I won't bite you. I'm a nice snake."

Really. I'm just telling the truth.

SUDDENLY.
Harry Potter flew in the meadow.
Mario walked into the meadow.
Paris Hilton crawled into the meadow.
And Britney Spears yelled "Hello everyone!!!"

REALLY.


Kenneth passed Don the choir schedule today.
And you know what? We both drink milk.

Susan the purple cow is tired.
So she slept.



BUT THAT'S really NOT the cow love story I want to tell you about.

here is the real cow love story:

Cow A loves Cow B, giving birth to cow 1, 2, 3 and four.
after sometimes, there are a lot of cows.


and that's how we get milk.






and hamburgers. T.T

[CRISIS]

i need to write.

i need to blog.

but i don't know what to write about!!!!!



drop me a tag. sms me. email me. whatever.
suggest me what i should write about.



I NEED INSPIRATION

[the past]

I just came across this blog by my classmate just now.

And this is what he/she wrote about me:



"
Oh, Come Out From Hiding Behind That Blanket [Apr. 2nd, 2007|08:44 pm]
[ Mood | worried ]

So today I realise that behind all the smiles, laughters, excuses of being tired etc, everyone's really just unhappy deep inside. I saw what obviously were self-inflicted cuts on my classmate's arm today but I didn't dare ask about them. It's worrying because he/she is awfully quiet and keeps to himself/herself most of the time. Biggest irony: [censored] yanked my arm and had a hard look at it because he swore he saw scars on it just that day..He's been looking in the wrong direction
"



hmm, so people noticed huh, i should have worn my jacket.

the last time i did such a thing is the day they release the promos results.

I just hope my scars will disappear before I fly home on 2Nov, or i'll be dead meat.




I'm so so stupid and pathetic.

[sudden realization]

for O-Level, Bio was the hardest, chem is so easy.

but for A-Level, Bio is the easiest, chem is so hard.

[politics]

i hate politics.

but i saw a cute bird yesterday.

so i went to take a shower.

then I ate chicken.




and I still dont love politics


hah.



======
this is my classmate, he is a very nice and interesting person

and i'm sorry for posting this XD, put this made me laugh, after a very long time of not-laughing

[pls don't pull me down my good friend]

i've trusted in you a lot lately.

i DID try to study, but i gave in to my depression.

I DID TRY.

to understand ME more.



pls don't pull me down.
i've trusted in you.

and i will continue too.


Pls dont give up on me!

Pray for my com pls, for its quick recovery before tuesday T.T



Jennifer, stay with me, pull yourself together!

(Jennifer is my laptop. and also my wife ^.^)

[i finally can be a happy boy] - a one-year reflection

actually, now i am free of all bonds.

i'm not a slave to my scholarship and all the expectations that come with it anymore.


No more "but you are a scholar, how can your grades be like this?"


I'm a foreign student now.

I know there will be a lot of stress when my juniors come to ACJC and ask what happen, and I will have to bear with the fact that they will be spreading the news about me not being a scholar anymore. There will be a lot of gossip behind my back, speculating what went wrong and all that jazz.

But hey, I think as from friday, 26/10/2007, i'll be another Don.
I will accept all that gossip.
I have survived all the madness of this year and as a foreign student, a J2, a SC4 member, a soon-to-be choir senior , I feel like I have been given a second chance to fight my depression.
I think 2007 is the second worst year in my life so far, but hey, in adversity, one finds his strengths and his true friends.

Since the JAE, I have been trusting in the wrong person for support. I thought we were in the same situation, so he would understand. But i'm proven wrong. Furthermore, I don't really have an open heart to accept those who reached out to me, and hence I just plunged to the depth of lethargy and sad thoughts. a result of being alone.

After all, I think i can have quite a clear picture of who i can turn to in times of need: children of god, ppl of genuine characters and personalities, and who regards me as their friend.

The journey in ACJC, in cca, in relationships and academic work is super rocky and weird this year. I don't study as someone who knows his work thoroughly, or rather, I study as a person who has no clear idea of what he is doing. At first, it was really hard to cope as people look at the fact that I'm a scholar and expect too much. And when I get low grades, i always carry a big shame as I cannot do as well as other scholars.

Well, as a foreign student, I'll start building up myself again.

In CCA, there were times I don't really know what is going on, sometimes I loved it really much, and there were times I just want to quit. I could not comprehend why were things must be that way. However, what a teacher told me the other day struck me "After two years here, you will look back and understand why we did it that way!"

Actually, I think they all have a purpose and a vision for everything. Maybe right now, I don't know the picture they have envisioned for the CCA, so I keep having negative thoughts about it. But who knows! CCA has actually taught me a lot, whether good or bad, it has made me grow no matter what. And one thing I must say, I've learnt that the arts in singapore is really suffocated, the SYF award is not about how good you are, or how much you put your heart in it, but HOW MUCH YOU FOLLOW THE RULES.

That is one thing I can't stand about Singapore.
Everything is so structured and planned and devised and mapped out, to an extend that everyone is basing his life on rules. It's really SUFFOCATING.
Well, when in Rome do as the Romans do, i'll have to just live with it and accept it.
Vietnam has her own problems too.

Back to CCA. I have met some really unique people in choir. In my entire life, though not long =], I've crossed paths with friends with very special personalities and mindset and passion. It's really fulfilling to talk to those friends. Sometimes I get super irritated by them, but somehow, I managed to squeeze their names in my list of "People Don will never get mad with".

Ha ha. Yah. I ACTUALLY mapped out that list in my brain. 3 names are inside it.

I've learnt too, that it's really good to be a close friend of someone you admire =] It's way way much better than the boyfriend - girlfriend thing, which I don't think I'm old enough for. I love it when I can be a good friend with the person I admire.

She is a really cheerful girl =]

About teachers, I have learnt one thing only on the last day of school. I've been thinking teachers are trying to breath down my neck. But what mdm Tham told me on friday morning really struck me "Don! Don't say sorry and look away! I'm not even accusing you! We are not breathing down your neck!"
So basically, I've been scared of teachers for the wrong reasons. They just wanted to help me.
Still, my PW tutor is so scary for the last few sessions. He has the gift of making people feel humiliated and stressed.

now comes the part about ACJC. Well, i neither hate nor love it. But a lot of my friends prefer their first three months college. Well, good thing Singapore is abolishing that really ridiculous PAE. I mean, during that time, relationships are blossoming, ties are becoming stronger, emotions are being rippened, and BAM, O level results come out, friends scatter all over. People form cliques in their new school, people feel bitter, people long for their old school, scholars turn sad and go back to their country...

Well, give it a try. I think there are nice teachers here, interesting and unique friends, THE PIG AND CHICK stall, iced-milo bottle for 1 dollar, A LOT OF funds to help students financially, CIP oppotunities, ARTS WEEK, PERFORMANCES - AEWF, RITMOS ACUSTICOS, KRONOS, RESTLESS, BAND, WESTSIDE STORY BANGBANG ARABIAN NIGHTS, sexy LT 4, smelly viewing gallery, sexy pools, super smelly and expensive gym, sexy dance studio, and there used to be a sauna in the toilet too =p
ha ha. well, due to those above, acjc is not so bad for me.

about FAITH. well, right now, I don't think I am a christian anymore. But sometimes, when something good happens to me, I uttered "Thank God!" When I eat something, I say grace. Well, I really have no idea who else can i be thankful to. Really.

Though I think God has unfair and twisted plan plan for me, I think I'm still a survivor in that plan of His. What about those tsunami victims? what about those inside the Twin Towers when the two planes crashed? I'm still alive. I must fight.

I am too negative. I think badly about everything that has to do with me.
Well, that must change too.

Well, a lot of people told me to change my mindset, sylvie and josh are among them.

ha ha. thank you.




and whoa. you must be a really good friend of mine to read until here [^.^]

[my J1 results]

hi everyone.
i'm quite exhausted today.
So i'm going to give you what you come to this blog for.

my results:
econs h1 - E
GP - D
bio - E
chem - U
math - U

I'm advanced, yah.

Thank you for those who support me all the way.

And those who don't, please dont relish at the fact that I lost my scholarship. I know you hate me but look at it, I never hurt anyone intentionally except myself. So please don't hurt me either!

Have a nice day everyone. Smile always =]


P.S.: I need a room to stay next year. If anyone of you know about such a place, pls sms me at 81516673, i'll be so so grateful.

[another love story]

it's been a long time since I posted a normal entry. Lately, all my entries have been so depressing and morbid, driving all my wonderful friends away, making people scared of dropping me a tag. Well, I'm writing another love story today.

---------------------------

ANOTHER LOVE STORY
by Don

There was a bird.
His name was Ken.
There is another bird.
Her name was Neth.

They married. On a tree. A coconut tree.

And have A LOT OF KIDS,
3 actually.
The first kid is called A.
The second kid is called B.
The third kid is called C.

One day, the whole family flew to Japan for the holiday.
A asked B: "Where is Japan?"
B then asked C: "Where is Japan?"
C asked A: "Where is Japan?"

and they went on and on.

Suddenly, A decided to asked C: "Where is Japan?"
C then asked B: "Where is Japan?"
B then asked A: ""Where is Japan?"

after a while. B suddenly asked A: "Where is C?"
taken aback, A suddenly asked C: "Where is C?"
C told the other two: "Where am I?"

ok.

Ken won two bird-grammy awards for the best male artist category in two consecutive years, but not because of his singing, but because his wife is Neth.

Neth won two oscars for her leading roles in Titanic and the new horror movie "Oh-my-gosh-i-actually-have-a-shoe".

She won the two oscars because:
. in Titanic: she nearly did not die
. in Oh-my-gosh-i-actually-have-a-shoe: she has a glass shoe; a very nice, transparent, handcrafted, crystal shoe, and she got "A" for her project work.

ok.

So, the whole family flew to Japan. They spent time flying around Mount Fuji. And Ken and Neth bang into each other.

And.
















Mount Fuji, an ex-volcanoe, erupted. O.O


This is how Ken and Neth's eyes looked like at the scene:
. at first they looked like this: -.-
. when fuji erupted they looked like this: o.o
. then slowly changed to this: O.O

that basically means they are SURPRISED.

So Ken told Neth and ABC: "Let's fly back home!"
So they flew back home.


On their way back they met Charlotte, a rabbit, who was also a fire-fighter.
She managed to extinguish mount Fuji.
After that, she yelled "I want to get a Fujitsu"


BUT.



She went to buy a Dell.

Don't ask me why.
It just happened.



BUT WELL. This love story is not about them AT ALL.
ok. let me lead you step by step to the love story.

Under the coconut tree which Ken and Neth got married, a malay Panda was eating Satay.
The satay tasted really good. It was cooked by Ashley - a bobobolulu.
Satay is bbq meat on a stick.
and the Panda is called JJ.

suddenly JJ exclaimed: "Gosh. Why am i under a coconut tree? Where is my bamboo?"
and then he went to Japan.
He bought a Sony Cybershot.


however, it's not about the love story yet.
well. talking about malaysia. Don likes this malaysian song named Bukan Cinta Biasa, which is translated as "Not Ordinary Love".
JJ the panda translated it for him.













what is Don?

Don is a mystical bird.
He had two eyes
and a nose.


WOW. SO INTERESTING.

anyway, he has many good friends such as (in order of appearance in this episode)
. Ken the grammy winner
. Charlotte the firefighter
. the happy panda JJ who ate satay

Don has another malaysian good buddy, a crane.
That crane is called Joshua, or Josh for short.
Well, with a hundred Josh-es, one wish will be granted.
Cos one josh = one crane.
hah.


Hmm. Don's favorite artist is another Josh, surname Groban.
Don thinks Josh Groban is VERY sexy, esp his voice.
Don hates Groban's hair though.


Don the mystical bird received an email last week. He got this drawing:

It's drawn by Sharyl.
Sharyl is an Angelfish.



Well, Don was mistaken as a goldfish by a bird called Nicole.
Don is not sure what kind of animal Nicole is.
Well, Nicole has another two friends: Muriel and Yan.
The three of them are altos.


anyway, those are not the love story yet.
Well, the true love story begins here. Scroll down to find out more.























There was a cat.













There was dog.













The cat loved the dog.













And they went to a house. Exclaiming "Oh OH Oh"




and dropped dead out of no reason.
THE ENd.






there, my another-love-story.

[noel]

mom and dad must love me very much.
they are selling the house to pay for my studies next year.

dad said: "retaining is ok. good to have your basics again."

and i can't be home this christmas.

T.T

[model student]

[stepping out]

CHAPTER 1: DON'S WEDDING

good news:

my macbook is fixed.
yay.
they replaced the logicboard for me (i have no idea what this is, maybe it's equivalent to mainboard in pc)
anyway, since the "logicboard" is replaced, i decided that my laptop is no longer a guy.

It's a girl now, i call her Jennifer.
I went to Borders at wheelock place for our wedding.
Well, i went the CD section, stand in front of a Wedding music CD.
"i agree to take thee in sickness and in health"

Then BAM, we are married.
So, Jennifer is my wife now.
yay.

---------------------
CHAPTER 2: UNIFEM

Choir rehearsal after a very long time.
Very fulfilling I must say.
Worked with mrs Tay on two new songs, one indian and one chinese.
Love the indian song, and the "oh yi oh yi" part of the chinese piece.
Haha. cos that part is easier.
But the rest of that song makes me feel too cheena.
I like its ending though. Cute.

Those songs are part of our repertoire for an oncoming performance for a UNIFEM function.
Being so stupid and dumb in a marverlously awesome way, I have NO IDEA what UNIFEM is, though the name is superbly familiar.

This is what i've found about UNIFEM - United Nations Development Fund for Women

The United Nations Development Fund for Women, commonly known as UNIFEM, provides financial and technical assistance to innovative programmes and strategies that promote women’s human rights, political participation and economic security. Since 1976 it has supported women’s empowerment and gender equality through its programme offices and links with women’s organizations in the major regions of the world. Its work on gender responsive budgets began in 1996 in Southern Africa and has expanded to include East Africa, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central America and the Andean region. It has worked to increase awareness throughout the UN system of gender responsive budgets as a tool to strengthen economic governance in all countries.

Well, the interesting fact is NICOLE KIDMAN is the goodwill ambassador.
She is great in Moulin Rouge and countless other movies.

Official website of UNIFEM: http://www.unifem.org
I'm really glad that I'm part of this upcoming performance, I really am.

---------------------
CHAPTER 3: BIO AND CHEM

I failed the theory paper of both Chem and Bio.
Well, I'm keeping my finger crossed that my CA will help me to pass those two subjects.
I have a lot of hope for Bio, and no hope for Chem.

Chem teacher made everyone feel even more stressed.
Bio teacher did the reverse: Calmed everyone down.

Thank God!

2 H2 and 1H1 pass, it seems so impossible now.

-----------------
CHAPTER 4: CHRISTINA AGUILERA AND STEPPING OUT

Since her cd "back to basics", I fancy Christina Aguilera.
She has turned more classy, more tamed, more mature.
Her taste in music is also better, or rather it caters more to my taste of music.
Her "back to basics" video clips are also awesome, classy, and has a good storyline.


Well, that is a photo of Tony Betnett and her perfoming at the Emmy Awards.

They sang "Stepping out", an upbeat, jazzy and sexy song.
Here is the clip from the performance:



I like her voice, it's strong but somehow very subtle.

Another clip of the same song at another performance - even more classy:


---------------

[tenors outing]

from left: joey, ken, darren, dan, and jack

tenors outing is cool,
and cold, cos i did not bring my sweater =p

i'll blog about the outing when i have time.

for now, i'll just post photos from the outing.
here they are:










yours truly,
don

P.S. the names are retarded, i know. LOL =p

[a post at 4 am]

Writing this post at 4 am.

I haven't been able to get a stable internet connection as I'm using my old iMac, which does not support wireless connection. So I'm making use of every second it can be connected to the internet. My old iMac is really slow, it takes 5 times to sign in to msn successfully, and blogging is a such a tedious task on this cranky computer. Anyway, I still love it because its graphics and audio is awesome, not to mention its unique design.

I'll start with Chem spa on tuesday.

Chem spa was my best paper for promos, I think I can get full marks for it. Sadly, that won't even pull my other papers to a pass.
Anyway, the class outing was quite fun.This time we still don't have the full strength, but the number of ppl who turned up was not bad at all.
I privately hoped that everyone would come, as that was probably my last outing with sc4, due to the following reasons:
1. I will lose my scholarship
2. I might be retained
3. I do not have enough money to continue my study here
4. I am quite sure that I've failed the promos
5. I'm in a dead end, I can neither go back to vietnam nor continue my study here.
Anyway, it's just impossible that everyone in the class would give the class a chance.
I know my class is not that ON, but I don't think it's too much to sacrifice one afternoon for the class.
Nevermind, that can only happen in a perfect world, a world where I am a happy boi.

Some photos from the outing:

our combined "effort" of swallowing raw fish X)

Haha. You might be wondering why there is a thorn among the roses. Well, my class have 5 guys: Nickool, Kaijie, Calvin and Klein, and of course, me.
.Kaijie did not come as he was dying "to study" !?!?,
.Nickool had some other gathering,
.Calvin and Klein were still eating sushi when we took this photo.
So there I was, wearing pants, when the others wore skirts.

Our lunch venue was sakae sushi @ wheelock place, and right opposite the sushi restaurant is a "The body shop" outlet. My PW group's groundbreaker is AnitaRoddick, who founded "The Body Shop". So, that was why we took this photo together:
After that, we proceeded to Kinokunia.
And after a while, I bid farewell.


And I did not want to go back to the hostel.
I wanted to go to somewhere quiet.
SO, I went to Botanic Garden.
And harvested photos.
Here are some of them:

1. THE BIRDS:

isn't nature just lovely, look at how peaceful they are

This pigeon refused to fly with its friends unless I took its photo:

another poseur:

Obviously, birds love me.

2. ANOTHER KIND OF BIRDS:

This swan couple is quite adorable, don't you think so:

3. THE OTHER PHOTOS:







OKAY, that should be all from the Botanic garden.



STILL, I did not want to go home. I went to esplanade to see whether any show was on.
There was a display along the walkway of the esplanade underpass.
It was really cute:

Well, there was only a free performance by the SAF band at the concourse.
The clarinet quartet was good. There was a brass quintet too, but they were too boring for me.
Here is a photo of the quartet:

-----------------
Since last week, I've watched 2 operas, 1 ballet, 1 musical.
The musical and the ballet amazed me.
The musical is Notre Dame de Paris. It's stunning. The actors and actresses are really awesome, the audio quality of the DVD is top-notch. Totally amazing. Esmeralda (played by helena segara) is beautiful and her delivery of the character is perfect. The hunchback guy is darn good. It's moving, really.
The ballet is Nutcraker, well, the set, the costume, the choreography and the dancers: WOW.
The operas I watched are not up to my expectations. One is just quite ok, the other one is super lengthy and boring, it's called Capricio, a german opera.



Ok. That's all. I've been feeling really down lately. There is seriously nothing fun to blog about. So if you find my blog boring. I don't know how can I improve it and my state of being.

Help me?
God help me?
Does he even hear?

Nevermind!

help me please

[so cute]

i love baby blues =]

[test things]

OK , right now. I'm supposed to do maths, but that only makes me want blood to drip all over me.

So. I do the test things. Here are my results:

You Are 32% Weirdo

You're a little weird, but you'd be even weirder if you didn't have a few quirks. You are just strange enough to know it, but nobody else seems to notice your weirdness. That's because, deep down, everyone is a little freaky!

Are You A Weirdo?

obviously, i'm a wierdo. haha.

You Are 40% Emo

You're definitely not emo, but you do understand emo people a little. You are introspective, but not to the point of driving yourself crazy.

Are You Emo?

only 40% emo? everyone thinks i'm damn emo! this test is wrong

You Should Be a Painter

You have the vision, patience, and skill to bring your unique visions to canvas. And you're even tempered enough not to cut your ear off in the process!

What Sort of Artist Should You Be?

yup. i want to be an artist, or a singer.

Your Personality Profile

You are sexy, powerful, and bold. You're full of passion and energy... Sometimes this passion has a dark side. You feel most alive when you're seducing someone. You never fail to get someone's attention. Quick minded, you're also quick to lose your temper!

The World's Shortest Personality Test

haha. you judge this.

Today is another tenor's birthday. Heath's birthday.

A story to tell.

Well I have a story to tell.

It goes like this:

once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess, a handsome prince, a quite old king, a slightly younger queen.

One day, the queen died of hear attack.
The king was so sad that he started to eat sugar. Lots and lots of sugar.
Then he had diabetes.
But that time, diabetes = death. So he died.
but of a heart attack, not diabetes.

The princess felt really sad. She cried. But she cheered up when her friend called her to prom.
She met the prince there.

And they both died.

and I don't know why.

The end.




there. my story.

Hey don, do go read 2 corinthians 4:8-9, 16-18. Keep going for promos! When the going gets tough, rem tt nth is too big for Jesus, for He has overcome the world (Jn 16:33). When u feel weak and unable, know tt God said His power can only be made perfect in weakness (2cor 12:9-10), n tt He will choose the weak to shame the strong (1cor 1: 27-29). Jesus loves u! Jiayou brother! I'm keeping u in prayer.- helsa -
