I want an exciting life
A life stretched to its fullest potential
Used to what it was created to achieve
God has a destiny for me
I believe communication is the key to successful relationships
And relationships is the key to life
Without love, all this will be impossible
I value a friend above performance
My close friends must be people who are committed to progress
They must have a proven character
They are people of integrity
They must be people with Big dreams and actions just as big
HAHA

why is it like a dark hole once again? deep and dark. where's the light?
What is life? what is acceptance? what is friendship? what fills that emptiness? what brings satisfaction? fulfillment?
so many questions and yet none of them fully describes the situation.
I guess God is what I hang on to. goes beyond my intelligence, because He created me. it's like hanging on to nothing, yet something is there that holds on to you. beyond understanding, yet so powerful and so real.

I got this in my email just today, and i find it very true from a guy's point of view. You've seen many times from the Girl's side, now here's one from the guys. GIRLS, its for you to read, and be successful in your rlns. Guys too. haha.
Guy's point of view
This is very cute!
And even written by a guy!
You might agree with it, but
when it actually happens 99% of girls don't realize it 'til it is too late
and that guy who did it is so frustrated that he has moved on to someone who will take notice.
From a guys point of view:
We don't care if you talk to other guys.
We don't care if you're friends with other guys.
But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off.
It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there.
We don't care if a guy calls you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned. Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. that it can't wait till he morning.
Also, when we tell you you're pretty/beautiful/gorgeous/cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it.
Don't tell us we're wrong.We'll stop trying to convince you.
The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence.
Yeah, you can quote me.
Don't be mad when we hold the door open.
Take Advantage of the mood im in.
LET US PAY FOR YOU! DON'T 'FEEL BAD'
We enjoy doing it.
It's expected.
Smile and say 'thank you.'
Kiss us when no one's watching.
If you kiss us when you know somebody's looking, we'll be more impressed.
You don't have to get dressed up for us.
If we're going out with you in the first place, you don't have to feel the
need to wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own.
We like you for WHO you are and not WHAT you are.
Honestly, i think a girl looks more beautiful when she's just in her pj's.
Or my t-shirt and boxers, not all dolled up.
Don't take everything we say seriously.
Sarcasm is a beautiful thing.
See the beauty in it.
Don't get angry easily.
Stop using magazines/media as your bible.
Don't talk about how hott Morris Chesnutt, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us.
It's boring, and we don't care.
You have girlfriends for that.
Whatever happened to the word 'handsome'/'beautiful'.
I'd be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with 'Hey handsome!' instead of 'Hey baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy' or whatever else you can think of.
On the other hand im not sayin i wouldn't like it either.
Girls: I cannot stress this enough: IF YOU AREN'T BEING TREATED RIGHT BY A GUY, DON'T WAIT FOR HIM TO CHANGE.> DITCH HIS SORRY DISGRACE-TO-THE-MALE-POPULATION ASS, AND FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL TREAT YOU WITH UTTER RESPECT
Someone who will honor your morals.
Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest.
Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes.
Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel.
Someone who will stop what theyre doing just to look you in the eyes....and say 'i love you' ..........AND ACTUALLY MEAN IT!
*****Give the nice guys a chance*****
Holdin Hands- Girls : If you want to hold his hand, gently bump into it a couple of times. Guys : Grab it if it happens more than once.
Cuddling- Girls : When you want to cuddle with him, tell him you're cold. Guys : Automatically move closer to her.
Movies- Girls : During a movie, if he puts his arm around you, tilt your head on his shoulder Guys : Lift her chin up and kiss her.
Loving each other- Guys : When she tells you she loves you, look deep into her eyes, give her a peck on the lips, and tell her you love her too... And mean it.
Laying below the stars- Girls : When you're both laying under the stars, put your head on his chest and close your eyes as you listen to his steady heart beat Guys : Whisper in her ear and link your hands with hers. Now make a wish about something you would like to happen Between you and your crush....
guys: no grabbing!!!
LOL!! I like how this ends.

well, i wanted to blog to post abit of my sorrows, but its fine, i'll leave them to someone else to listen.
i was cleaning up my drums for it's tri-monthly cleanup, and decided i should just also change all the skins on my toms which i bought long time ago. it should sound great when i tune it up tomorrow. and the gunk coming off it, it's cool. looking shiny once again. as usual after ever cleanup. haha.
and another thing. we were going to harvey norman at funan to purchase a sony camera for my dad's business use, and ended up we bought something else additional. another example of great sales people. imagine. dad ended up buying a 3k HD tv. and it's a HUGE one. not as huge as the one in my room though. because i use a LCD..... projector. HAHAA. and adding also a HD player, and some cable that cost 180bucks, and a wall mount. so in all it's about 4k spent in 1 night. oh well.
And so, I am left with, 1 acoustic guitar, 1 classical guitar, 1 electrical guitar with amp and effects, 1 bass guitar with amp, and 1 drumset, and 1 electronic keyboard, all IN MY ROOM. not to mention the litte besson cornet that i bought sometime ago. what a room. and i need to USE THEM. I have almost all the equipment enough for a band. yet i'm the only one playing them. who wants to come over and jam? anybody? comeon...
and yes too, i havent been going to church. chc that is, i dont know why. maybe it's just too irritating. all that busy-ness, and stuff. sometimes i just wish i could be just friends and enjoy with them all, they're such great people to have fun with. but it's like a trip switch. the moment it goes beyond a certain voltage, it trips and stops temporally. meanwhile, i'll be still with them anyhow. but leaving time for me to rest, and relax awhile first. have some time to be at peace, think through things, enjoy, have fun, and take a complete holiday. so i'll see.
i'm free everybody! no more exams, no more nothing! lets go hang out! go chill out! explore the world! (or maybe singapore first) lets go do some sports! sea sports! ah! i can take my powerboat licence! finally!
and get my long hair nicely cut. now that my hair is long, what style can i try! it's seldom that i have long hair to try styling with. but maybe i will just shave it all off. no no. not yet. keep it long first. keep it long David. cut it nicely. style it nicely. haha.
goodnight

THIS is old news, 2005. BUT still I find it fascinating! Maybe i shall give it a try. haha!!
The McDonalds Weight Loss Program Filed in archive what the...? by rob on July 18, 2005
Diet and McDonalds aren't two words you hear together very often, but one woman is changing that.
A US woman claims to have lost 33 pounds by eating nothing but McDonald's for 90 days.
Merab Morgan, of Henderson, North Carolina, began her diet because she found the Super Size Me film insulting.
In the documentary, film maker Morgan Spurlock put on 25lbs after eating excusively at McDonald's for just one month.
Ms Morgan, 35, memorised the calories in almost every menu item, and limits herself to 1,400 calories a day, reports the Detroit Free Press.
"It's kind of like the poor man's diet," said Morgan, who has tried Weight Watchers and Atkins but failed because of the time and money those plans required. Maybe she will become the next wave of McDonalds advertising, like Jared did for Subway.
Today i went with a friend to purchase a guitar. one that truely is remarkable. so is the price. but we managed an almost 1.9k discount bargain because it was second hand.
So that sparked off my curiousity about my own taylor guitar, and i started to investigate. after many hours, I finally found out the exact date my guitar was crafted. so now i can properly celebrate it's birthday. haha. okay. it was the 7th guitar made on 21 Feb 1996.
so it's gonna be 12 yrs old in 8 days time! and 7 is such a perfect number! haha.
also, it has a Sitka Spruce top, and Mahogany Side and back.
It's a 1996 Taylor 410! or in present terms, a Taylor 510 without the CE. haha.
But i read that back then it was only less than USD 1000, but that was in 1992. so with inflation today, the price should roughly be the same as it is now in the 510 model.
But it's just an estimate. the current selling price on the net is around USD1000, so about SGD 1.4k. hmm. not too bad, i bought it for SGD 1.2k at least 5 years ago.
oh man, i realise i have so many things i can blog about after going throught the pictures in my handphone!
it's picture time again!
It was the last week of school, and Sili started getting sentimental about things. So much so that she wanted to take the slowest lift in the school, spanning only 2 floors, in a transparent casing. So when they got stuck midway several times, everybody was looking at them. haha. it took us 10mins for that flight of stairs normally that would only take 15seconds. so i thought it was worth a picture.
Look at this milo packet! it's puny!
Who's that couple in the picture? haha
Isn't this view nice? romantic? haha. what a sight right..
even the clubhouse looks stylo!
And so, the final run of the project for Marketing Research. We printed it out. look at Seng.
The last page of the whole set? 1230.
That's Weishu and group presenting the Sales management project. Also the last lesson for that module.
Elkan Ho! mom and dad feeding? hahaha.
Steamboat heroes! they prepared everything!
look at all the food! yummy
That's my cymbal. i took a pic while i was still considering whether or not to buy it. but then i got it few minutes later. haha!
And a pitiful car wreck. it's a Lamborghini Murceliago. but well, the newer one's out anyway. so might as well get rid of the old one. haha.

finally i have something interesting to blog about. At the carpark near my apartment block, i found these fresh tracks on a pretty steep slope up next to another block. that made me curious about what happened.
So, i went to investigate on my way back home lastnight. I happened to have my camera along with me, and managed to get a picture. By looking at the steps, you can roughly guage how high and steep the slope is.
From my investigations, it appeared that there were no fragments of the car and paint left behind at the scene. but i did find a chrysler minivan nearby with the bumper smashed and somehow tells me it was that car. The driver must have either been new or unlicensed, and speeding in the carpark. and just before turning the corner, which was a bilndspot, the driver didnt have time to stop, and instead hit the curb, bounced upward, and landed while hitting the pole, causing the car, which had it's wheels possibly turning right, but quickly straightened when the driver saw the incomming car. and so the far was probably flying to the right, thus after hitting the pole, bounced toward the right, but by that time, the driver must have tried to correct the wheel, so he went up the slope pretty straight. there was no sign of accelerating or braking at all, the tracks would have been deeper. because there was a sideway skidmark of the right tyre to the line where the car started it's uphill climb.
And near the top, the skidmarks suddenly turn left. the railing was observed to have been tilted, so the right side of the car must have hit the railing, causing it to both stop and veer to the left, then the brakes must have been applied, where the darker skidmarks appear to be going downwards, in another angle.
i measured the width of the tracks to be around 1.8 to 2 meters, and appears to be that it was a car because of the weight at the front where the engine is. I should have taken a picture of the car. maybe i will later, if it's still there.
Maybe his shoe got stuck on the accelerator pedal, or he was angry. i wonder..
