The best way to entertain old folks is to listen to them, right. It works when I was waiting for the girls under my block, an old man came over and start talking to me in dialect. So, just listen and yea, it keeps him accompanied.
Went off to Orchard with Jennifer & Carina, and had lunch at some food court near Centerpoint before heading to our main destination, KBOX! I kept singing Cyndi’s songs, and barely a few english ones. Jennifer sings songs by Rainie really well, and songs that require voices similar to that. A little soft but really a wow! to Carina & I. Carina ain’t bad either, for a moment when F.I.R song was being played, I thought the voice is from the karaoke set but in fact, its from Carina! Gawd, then I had to pull up my socks to match up to them. I think I’m still better with English songs, somehow.
When it got really cold, I asked Carina if she wanna change seat cause the place I’m sitting is that not cold. She saw through my intentions - I want the corner seat as it’s more comfortable, so she refused and ya-da. She didn’t realized I recorded her singing down =) So from, 2PM - 7PM, we were singing really loud (except for Jennifer) until we finally persuaded Carina to leave (she couldn’t bear to stop).
We went to take neoprints, and saw sayang & wengling there. I was quite surprised, I mean, very surprised. We spent a great deal of time just decorating the neoprints. My first time taking with the two of them,and my 4th using a neoprint machine.
Dinner was at the Japaneses restaurant outside KBOX, I ate until I felt like vomiting. I just can’t resist the temptation of grabbing sushi from the revolving thing, but the Eel rice kinda sucks. Carina was trying really hard to escape my camera, yet was tricked when I used the secondary camera. So we were ready to go home after all these, taking the bus 7 home. On the bus, Carina told me there was this group of people who kept talking about my school and stuffs, but I didn’t hear anything! Even Jennifer heard them and said that one of them mentioned “the young dancer go off already” when we were gonna alight, so he probably knows me or something.
Things I should have heard, I never do. Things that I don’t wanna hear, they always get to me. Grr. We walked Jennifer to the bridge across her block before I sent the little girl, Carina home. I’m all tired out now, there’s still school tomorrow but it was much of a really enjoyable day! Wee~
I wonder if there’s anyone who anticipates new blogskins from me. Well, at least it makes me feel that thus creating more blogskins is worthwhile. Be there lots or none, here is a teaser for my next skin. It’s a sequel to my 20th skin, and here’s a story about it.
“Perhaps we have all anticipated the worst to come, a predictable last scene where life is still going on without you. Love doesn’t make the world go round, it just makes the ride worthwhile. And then we just want to let our loved ones know that, we are somebody, not just a voice or a dress we’re wearing. But the question is, how.”
Like I always said, all skins are made based on my current emotion at the point of creating it. So, yea, both personal and work. A form of expressing myself. The title of this skin is quoted from one of my favorite love songs, “Eyes on Me” by Faye Wong which was the theme song of Final Fantasy 8.
Perhaps if I put a little more effort into it, things could have been better, we can at least cease this silence between us. But right now, it makes me feel that the effort I have ever put has all gone to waste, so why that extra effort …?
It was really a long day, and a long night with a short sleep. I kept waking up in the middle of the night, partially due to Sianglin’s SMS at 2AM (?!) and Taufik’s in the early morning. So it was Humanities remedial, PoA remedial, and then additional mathematics before the parent-meeting session. While having dinner, Ze Yi spotted this ’special’ person. Exercising before meal, wow, health-conscious. Ze Yi should really learn from him!
My mum couldn’t agree more with me saying that our principal ain’t suitable for giving speeches when she heard him on her own during the talk this evening. Horribly acceptably, I was playing with my handphone the entire time.
When remarks from parents and teachers collide, it means death for the student. The first thing Miss Lim told my mum was that, I need more rest because I have commited too much to dance. And then the same old remarks I heard for years, from both Miss Lim and Mrs. Lim. “Damien is capable of doing better but he tends to slacken down during classes blah-blah~.” I know, okay, I know how much I can achieve. But apparently, there’s a primary distraction and I bet most of my friends know what is it. It has been bugging me ever since start of May, someone help me.
I thought I’d be a dead meat since I’m on the ’serious-case’ lane, meeting the form teacher! With a sight of relief, this was what I obtained:
Class Position: 10/44
Level Position: 12/113
I’ll have to improve a lot the next time I get my results! I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it~ without you.

IF you ask me the following questions, be prepared for a negative answer:
“Can teach me how to make a blogskin?”
“Can make a blogskin for me?”
“How do you install the fonts?”
You know why I will either not answer or give a negative answer?
In regards to “Can teach me how to make a blogskin?”, I don’t really see how I can teach. From basic photoshopping to basic HTML coding, and then to Blogger tags and making them work, I definitely won’t give the time to such things. Please, there is much more out there I can do than just making the computer my entire lift.
And to the question: “Can make a blogskin for me?”, I think I’m quite sick of replying anymore. It has never been a yes, just ask around. Reason being, as I have said before, making skins is just my interest and not occupation. If I feel like making skins, I will make. If I don’t, I won’t.
“How do you install the fonts?”, there is such a thing as google, alright? It takes barely a minute. I understand that doing so may make me look rude, but come on, if time is on my side, then I will give it to you. But I have priorities, I can’t compromise things for strangers if there are more important stuffs on the queue list.
I’m sorry and hope you guys understand. I’m gonna release another skin, but probably after May since I’m just halfway through with it and there’s Chinese O’ Level tomorrow.
Guess things are still fine without you, I guess, I hope. If only you were a stranger that I can just disengage easily …
