Guess what? I'm alive! So sorry to disappoint all those who must have wished me incapable to apologise in advance. Sorta got better on Boxing Day, but still got a pretty nasty cough going. It hasn't been made any better with newcastle taking only 2 points from a possible 9 but i suppose you football-illiterate folks have no idea how that feels.
Anyway, a Merry belated Christmas to you all. I reckon there are several ways you can celebrate Christ's birth. 1) Over turkey with your family.
2) Over candelight with your lover.
3) Over a box of tissues with yourself.
4) Over the phone listening to someone distorting carols.
of course, i only experienced number 4 last night so technically its not right.
By the way, i like to apologise for my failure (once again) to give out any presents. This is due mainly to the facts that i have no money and that there is also absolutely nothing to buy on top of Genting Highlands. Naturally, the trip itself was worth more than anything and this is the part where i start to get a little sentimental.
The EBchoir has been part of my life for the last four years and people always ask why the sec 4s have to continue going for choir this december. The answer is perhaps unimaginable to you all, but it is simply because we enjoy going for it. Well, most of us anyway. Over the last 4 years, we have come to develop a bond among us, almost unbreakable that non-choir folk will never understand. That is why, when hector or jian yang says, "i don't understand why you still have to go for choir", i want to say, "of course you don't".
There are memories that we all will never forget, friends that we may never see again. From Hawaii to Genting, these forever will be special moments for us. I don’t cry easily, but there was a point when I did tear a bit when we sang that song. No kidding. Oh well, goodbyes are always hard and our farewell party I think will be especially hard. Anyhow, good luck guys, even though I might be seeing you all pretty often next year.
For all those who now hold the future in their hands, Ding Jie, Zhizhong, Wee Seng, Ming Long, Gen Rong, Daniel, and to all others that we have come to love so much.
Also to all the members of the sec 4 batch, if I don’t see you again, take care Gabriel, Jasper, Ben Tan, Chee Hang, Luke, Mark Lam, Divian, Joshua, Ben Chua, Jun Yang, Aaron, Jianhao, Jonathan Tiong, Adrain, Stanley, Fabian, Lip Yong, Clement, Terence Chee with apologies to anyone I might’ve forgot.
God Bless You All.

Haha. Okay, if you thought last night's post was a litle bit aggressive, i apologise. In fact, i am rather humoured that i am so often linked to whatever girl i know. Sigh, the price of being a celebrity.
Indeed, i must say that the post by shizhen was so incredibly good. He told me that he took 3 hrs to write it and i think its one of the best comic articles i have ever read. This of course, not including the one he wrote in english class about john woo keng pang. That, was sick.
Also seems as though joey has launched into a series of posts about, what's it, relationships and charm and whatever rubbish. I would like to congratulate him a bit but it'd be best if he did not mention me as good-looking. *blush*
THOSE kind of relantionships, dear friends, spell the end of a friendship. There is no better catalyst to killing a friendship with a girl, then to ask her to go out with you. This of course, since it is most unlikely that you'll have any long term relationship with the person you're going out with now. However, if you are, i suggest you treat her, (or him, if you're one of my female fans) as well as you can for as long as it lasts. That's right, all the way to next week.

It's most unlike me to blog so late at night, but recent rumours i think have gone a bit too far, and if this was unarrested, would be very bad indeed.
There is absolutely nothing between me and cheryl lee. Zero, zip, kosong, ling. Just because i ask her along for a recording and praise her does not mean i fancy her in any way. It has come to my attention that wong shizhen has rather insanely published an incredible, almost ludicrous post. Had it just been that one incident with him, i would've been very amused. BUT, it seems like there have been rumours spreading within my own beloved choir. (Glares at persons)
I hope this post has beyond all doubt ended speculation about my inevident love life. Yes, no cheryl, joanne, natasha or whatever. I'm still laughing, but be warned, i might not be for long...

Had a concert on sunday at sfx and i thought i screwed up my hosting big time. Well, at least the church choir folks were okay with the job done. Speaking of which, they're probably back from their 3-day retreat now and i apologise once again for my absence but i'm sure i wasn't missed much...
Chrsitmas is drawing near so just in case i don't blog until then, merry christmas and be sure to check your presents cause you're probably right if you hadn't been expecting a present from me.. Maybe i'll be nice and give certain people some you know.. Nah, just kidding..
Oh and by the way, a big thank you to the 'legendary' cheryl lee for brightening up our day with your awesome voice.. and by the way number two, there's nothing going on between me and anyone over december so you might as well stop speculating..
