saw this when i was snooping around on facebook: Liena's blog hmmm.. wondering what's up with e recent popping up of blogs from my friends.. now even zhen xi has one.. anyway back to e topic, saw tt Qin Jia and May Poh were also at liena's 21st.. tt's like omg! -.- i guess tt just show how much they have changed since i last saw in pri school..

yo hohoho... finally got around to posting... now slacking at home, enjoying the heater... i hate monday man... get to go uni 8-5... haha... anyway, not much time left b4 the i go to bed... think it will take a bit more time b4 i post my next msg...

Happy 5th birthday!!! oops looks like i am a little late...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kudos to Songluck who has been maintaining the survival of this blog, hahaha keep it up!

Happy 5th Birthday to my Bloggie!!!

273 Microsoft Word pages, 83 977 words, 1 template change, drop of chatbox and hits counter, reuse of mouse clock, 5 years of blogging..

ok.. so this is probably one of the rare occasions where my sticky post gets displaced during school term.. also one where i start on a new post before e previous one gets finished.. anyway, quite busy at e moment.. studying.. -.- so watch out for this space on e mini celebratation activities tt's coming up for this special event.. lol..

so one of e things tt i've had in store was to resurrect my other blog.. ok.. i hear e *gasp!* haha.. wouldn't be surprising tt no one remembered it.. e intention of e blog however has been changed slightly.. it'll be used as a personal dream log, where i'll be noting down e various dreams, lucid and non-lucid, tt i have.. due to e sensitivities of my dream contents and my personal preferences, i have opted to keep this second blog strictly a personnal affair..

nevertheless, e usual dream posts on this blog will still continue.. e 2nd blog will incorporate more technical terms, have dedicated links to lucid dream resources and in general, provide a greater level of detail on e dream contents.. it'll also serve as a base for me to research more scientifically into e study of dream control and provide the resources tt i neeed for a personal project tt i have had in e pipeline for a while now..

update 1: created a 3rd blog for testing purposes and in preparation for my HP320 project..

update 2: i've tentatively decided to open up my dream log blog, albeit to a certain extent.. if e trend of e current dreams are anything to go by, a rather significant portion of my dreams will remain as drafts in my dashboard for personal viewing.. anyway, i've yet to open up tt blog, so to say, as i plan to do so only after i've transferred e dream related posts here over.. and afterwhich i will start on logging my dreams..

found this from jumping around the lucid dreaming groups in facebook.. i think e lucid dreamers out there are really quite passionate abt e subject and well, lucid dreaming has even been featured on some TV channels..

Lucid Dreaming on Fox 5

really fishy.. haha.. 1st it was qq.. den yw.. and now sw.. wonder y e sudden interest in setting up blogs.. just hope tt they not e spur of e moment, doesn't last a year kind..

this august has been quite an exciting one.. there was my sis's b'dae.. den e start of school (well erm.. i guess tt's exciting too..).. olympics followed soon after.. and e very next day was national day.. not too long later in e month, it'll be a special day for this very place itself.. e day tt marks 5 years of blogging.. will perhaps will do a simple write up when e day gets closer..

e main topic for this post actually has to do with e national day tt recently passed by and e meeting up with lei^3, yichao, chuan seng and mel.. cs was grumbling on having to stay in singapore and mel and yichao agreed tt they didn't want to stay in singapore and wanted to leave for greener pastures.. heh.. is it really greener on e other side? tt's a question tt i've wondered abt for a couple of times..

so PA's over.. and school's already in e 1st week.. been bumping around during e 2 weeks break after e internship.. haha.. tt was before i caught on to facebook.. finally.. -.- anyway like i said earlier, such social networks really are eye openers for me at times.. to see how my fellow friends have changed over the years.. hopefully for e better.. lol..

many of e their looks have changed quite some bit.. esp e girls.. good to know that all of them are still doing well.. esp for those whom i have no prior contact via msn or friendster..

e interns had organised a karoke session during e last week of e internship and it was actually a much better experience than i thought.. well at least they were not shy abt singing in front of 10 other ppl.. and their singing were quite good too.. and erm quite unexpectedly, someone said my singing of 你怎麼捨得我難過 together with benjamin (yeah e one from my marketing class) was actually quite nice.. lolol.. tt's a first for me.. anyway i think i sing better w/o e karoke.. maybe it's cos i dun stick to e pace of e songs v well.. haha..

have been listening to a couple of youtube vids lately.. in particular those by 鄧麗君.. realised tt she can actually sing in quite a number of different languages such as jap, chinese, english and bahasa melayu.. and she sings them well too.. her english songs are so-so if u were to compare her with e original singers.. but i found tt her cover of I've Never Been to Me to be quite good..

anyway, i've been trying to learn to sing 3 of her more popular jap songs like 空港, つぐない / 偿还 and 愛人.. e latter is particularly e easiest to sing amongst e 3 and yup, trying to sing without looking at e romanji.. haha.. and tt's even though like i've yet to really master Only Human - K and Konayuki - Remioromen ..

and oh ya.. had actually forgotten abt e vid in e post below.. lol.. a really nice song too.. great vocals by a young kid.. there's actually quite a few good children singers out there.. or talents.. such as Yoo Ye-eun who paired up with Connie Talbot (of e Britain's Got Talent fame) for e song You Raise Me Up..

Tell Me Why by Declan Galbraith



In my dreams, Children sing
A song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue, the fields are green
And laughter is the language of the world
Then I wake and all I see is a world full of people in need

Tell me why,(why) does it have to be like this
Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed
Tell me why, (why) cause I don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why

Every day, I ask myself
what will I have to do to be a man
Do I have, to stand and fight
To prove to everybody who I am
Is that what my life is for?
To waste in a world full of war

Tell me why, (why) does it have to be like this
Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed
Tell me why,(why) cause I don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why (Tell me why)
Tell me why (Tell me why)
Tell me why (Tell me why)
Just tell me why (why, why, why)

Tell me why, (why) does it have to be like this
Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed
Tell me why, (why) cause I don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why (Why why, does the tigers run?)
Tell me why (Why why, do we shoot the gun?)
Tell me why (Why why, do we never learn?)
Can someone tell us why we let the forests burn

(why why do we say we can?) tell me why
(why why is it still the same?) tell me why
(why why do we talk and run?) tell me why
can someone tell us why we let the ocean die

(why why do we always say?) tell me why
(why why do we pass the blame?) tell me why
(why why does it never rain?)
can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends

(why why do we always say?) tell me why
(why why do we pass the blame?) tell me why
(why why does it never rain?)
can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends

why why?
