If I Kissed You- Corrinne May

If I kissed you
Would fireworks fly
Woud angels sing with lollipops
Would dinosaurs cry
Would babies all gurgle in laughter and surprise
If I kissed you

If I kissed you
What would Michaelangelo say
Would he still have sculpted David
Would we be immortalized in clay
Would the poets write of love like ours
Would John Donne have his say
If I kissed you

You could be one in a million
You could be the one for me
But l guess I'll never know if I never try
I guess I'll just have to grab you in my arms and kiss you

If I kissed you
Would you lose track of time
Would you feel a surge of happiness
Running up your spine
Would you run naked in the street
with a tattoo of my name on your behind
If I kissed you
Oh, if I kissed you
Yeah, if I kissed you

Event with CIP points!! : CDC/CCC Polytechnic and ITE Scholarship & Bursary Award Presentation Ceremony And Jurong Lake Run 2011 Appreciation Lunch


This morning, I was dragged awake by my father at 7am!!! Why is that so? Well, actually, I was told by my mother that I will be going to follow my father in dragon-boating every Sunday. Having this ‘command’ so undeniably given, what choice do I regarding this matter? As it is, I have no choice but to be in touch with the bitterly chilly Kallang river every Sunday morning!
However, what that surprised me was yet to come, as instead of asking me to prepare my items for getting wet and cold early in the morning, I was told to dressed up nicely and here, I was confused!! Why the need for such when I am going to be wet already? This was where my father explained to me, that the event arranged by Taman Jurong GRC was to be early today, as well as celebrating my father’s 53rd birthday! However, there was no time to be lost as the event was set to start at 11am and we must be there by 10am to meet up with the River Valley High Year 5 and 6 dragon-boaters, who were helping along for the event as volunteers for CIP points.
Rushing to the MRT station, we travelled from Hougang MRT station down the North East Line, all the way to Outram Park Station, where we switched to the East West Line all the way up to Lakeside Station. As it is, we have travelled ALL the way to the other side of Singapore, passing by the humongous Singapore Polytechnic, the newly established Clementi Mall and the giant IMM! What a long ride it was! I thought I was going to get car sick already from all that riding! Even so, we STILL have to take a bus from the Lakeside Station!!
The Taman Jurong GRC has seriously a great distance from Hougang!! 240 was the bus we have to take, and seeing how experienced my father is at this trip to Taman Jurong GRC, because he could pick specific MRT doors to exit and to enter accurately that would save the most time, I felt sorry for him as he travelled to Jurong each day, a long gruesome distance is was and still is, waking up at 5am in the morning to prepare to boil the water for the day’s use and to prepare for work, from which he returns home at approximately 6 to 7pm, sometimes even 10 or 11pm when he has a meeting after work.
After about 5 to 6 bus stops, we got down and crossed the road to our destination at last: Taman Jurong GRC!! A good 2 hours it was, just getting here!! As it was not going to get any early anyway, we rushed to the building where the celebration of the Nation’s 46th birthday lay evident all over the place, and prepared for the event. Registration as volunteer was done, for without it I would not be awarded the CIP hours I would be clocking later on in the day, and roles were quickly issued to everybody.
I was given the role as an usher for the people involved in the event, and along with some of my father’s River Valley guys, we went to take a look at the venue of which the event would be held: the hall. It was then that I saw what event it was exactly-- CDC/CCC Polytechnic and ITE Scholarship & Bursary Award Presentation Ceremony And Jurong Lake Run 2011 Appreciation Lunch!! The Guest-of-Honour was Advisor to Jurong GRC Grassroots Organisation: Mr Tharman Shanguratnam, Deputy Prime Minster & Minster for Finance and Minster for Manpower!! There were a total of about 180 people receiving the awards and as an usher, I will have to show them to their seats according to the number they were given, for their seating must tally with the seating arrangement that was set up specifically for this event.
By 11.15am, things were almost sorted out, until an announcement came to say that the Minster have finally arrived, being SUCH an early bird… Maybe I should not have said that but the event was set to start at 11am… But anyway, we were all glad as this meant the event could finally get started as this here was what everyone was here for, to receive the award given by the country for the hard work they placed in their studies and to get on with all the delicious food that was being prepared all this while. All the effort placed for this event is paying off as things are going well and finally, after the last name was announced and the last award was given out, IT IS TIME TO EAT!!
There were fruits like bananas, longan, lychees, balaku (I am not really sure how it is named but this was what my mother told me….) ,  drinks like chendol, food like po pia, roti prate, satays, laksa, cai tao quay and curry puffs, well basically it is still quite a spread for any famished people right there right now, AND OFF I GO!!
2 rounds later, I got food for my father, who was still up to his neck with things he needed to do, and I went off to spam the fruits!! Later, as I was enjoying my chendol, the Minister spoke again, as this was Part Two of the day’s event, the Jurong Lake Appreciation Lunch. He spoke about the Jurong Lake Run that was newly launched this year as the very first major running event in the West of Singapore, about how successful it went, and sadly, about how the challenges that was set for the runners were too little and that the run is going to get longer and bigger as an event next year. 5km as a fun run is actually still acceptable, as it was neither too short nor too long, but to increase it!! Well, that does not sounds too good although I will still try to participate in it next year… Maybe…
After all the things for the event was done, I had to wait for my father, and heard things about the planning for the upcoming North East Run and many other things, which were mainly complains about the inadequate ways things were being handled. Things dragged to 3 or 4pm before we could finally set off to home. Oh ya!! Forgot to mention, the River Valley guys chipped in for a birthday present for my father: a waterproof phone pouch thingy that could be hung around the neck while dragon-boating!! They sung a birthday song for him too!! Well this ended well and I got my CIP hours clocked and recorded!! All that have started well should end well, and it did!! And hence, I thus end my post for now!!

A Real Ethereal Encounter... Where it all Started.. Encounter!!

The event, I could only make it after work, for the manager made us choose between one another, who to take the leave and who to stay and work. This was a freaking bastard move, to make us 自相残杀!!! It was no wonder the members of the alumni left, one after another, for this manager is really too much as when she scolds you for a tiny mistake, it will be as if you made them lose a couple of hundreds of dollars and make sure you will have no place to hide. Thus, I offered to work in my colleague's stead.

By the time I have arrived, the event was already going to the tonning part, and so I finished the food as I was famished. There, I met and made two new friends, and was talking crap throughout until they suggested going to a certain haunted house in the area where we are now, Pasir Ris. This particular haunted house was more widely known as the Red House, because of the roof color or something as I did not really get much of a look in the dark then.

We walked there with the guiding of my colleagues' friends, as he had been there in the day numerous times before. While walking, he whipped out a Canon DSLR camera and I realized that this suggestion had been planned long before I came. When we first reached the site, a strange cold shiver ran down my spine, and my hair stood from my legs straight up my head!!! I have never felt that in my life before, ever!! I thought the hair on my head were all standing already!!! A bat flew past a huge open field to us, then into the Red House itself, and the tree by the chained gates suddenly dropped a small branch almost on my colleagues' friend, the guy holding on to the DSLR camera trying to get a shot of some light he saw by the camera.

Things were getting scarier and scarier by the moment, and waves of the hair-standing shiver were running up and down my spine, raising my hair from every pore over and over again. I looked at the time. It was 4.08am. Suddenly, that guy ran away fast, holding on to his ears tightly, without looking where he was running, and was running deeper into the Red House area. This creeped us out more than ever, and so we got no choice but to chase after him and get the whole lot of us out of this area as soon as possible.

When I got to him, he was mumbling about hearing sounds asking him to get out. Without much being said, for the waves of shivers really got to me, all of us ran straight out of the area back into familiar surroundings. There, after a while, he finally settled down to tell us what he saw. He was taking pictures when he thought he saw a female figure. He lowered the DSLR only to see nothing but a stone statue in place where he thought he saw the female figure. Then, the voices started. Calling him to get out over and over again, and this was when he covered his ears and ran.

We never spoke much about this after that, all of us waiting for the day to break before moving. With this done, we went to eat Macdonalds for breakfast before each of us head home to sleep, and the following noon I have work still, and was already tired out to the max by this event that happened, and thus we parted at the MRT station and headed back.

This thus concludes my Ethereal Encounter, and from this, I hope that it would be a lesson to all. NEVER DISTURB THE ETHEREAL BEINGS!! YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU WILL END UP AS!!!!

A Real Ethereal Encounter... The Starting Point.. OFF TO WORK!!

For about slightly more than 4 months since November 2010, I have been working almost everyday, slugging my guts out for the money to buy myself a laptop and some new clothes in preparation for my new year in a polytechnic. Yeah, these things have already come to pass, for, the things as mentioned, well I go them already, and got awesome new best friends, Michelle and Joel, but that is after I have officially entered into a polytechnic and into a course for Biomedical Engineering, where the stress levels now is almost as gruesome as when I was working... BLAH BLAH BLAH OMG I AM RAMBLING ALL OVER AGAIN!!

NOW, BACK TO THE MAIN POINT!!! This post is describing some things in the days where I was working, and soon, you will be able to find out about what is the Ethereal Encounter...

Now, to be posting up the name of the restaurant would not be so nice, and might even get me into trouble, so let us leave it at that. Up to the point now, it would have been pretty obvious that I worked as a waiter, firstly in one of the outlets near my home. I worked as a part-timer, and thus I was only called a few meager times when help was needed. I thought it sucked as I would not be able to earn what I needed and so, I worked as a part-timer at a hotel too, booking the dates to work when the outlet does not need me. Now, hotel working hours are truly the 'no day no night' type, as one of the guys there told me he had been on a 19 hours shift!! Can you imagine that? That is just crazy but the longest shift I had was 12 hours which is still damn long, I guess.

Finally, a new shopping mall opened, and with it, came my chance to work more at less gruesome hours than at the hotel!! Delayed by the hotel shift, I came to the newly open outlet at the third day it opened. This was the period known as the 'soft opening', to let people know of the restaurant and all that it will eventually offer so as to attract more customers to come. Those days were pretty tough too, for I started work at 8 in the morning and ended up late at night, 10 or 11 plus!! All that ordering, serving, clearing, accounting and cleaning up, it was back-breaking work and I had no choice but to adapt, fast!!

As the time goes on, the waiting staffs that does not work in the kitchen became friends with me and till the time that some people have to depart to start their school life already, I started the alumni of our working group!! Urged to lead the group and get an event up as soon as possible, planning for a barbecue was done after some time. Shopping list, equipment needed, food needed, all were prepared BUT!! 

This is a very sad BUT, as by some awful coincidence, the selected date was a very busy day for a lot of them, and things were paid for beforehand already... With what remains of the people that were going to the barbecue still, my colleagues asked their friends to come along to share cost, and to make it more interesting, it evolved into a barbecue cum tonning event.

This part will be further continued in the next post, A Real Ethereal Encounter... Where it all Started.. Encounter!!...

Creepy Encounter... AT HOME!! THE LAST!!!

FINALLY!! CASE SOLVED!!! For all that troubles and mystery that haunted me for 3 weeks, this Creepy Encounter 'trilogy' had finally come to an end... Let me tell you why!!

Cause/Root of trouble: My lil brother!!

Reason: Alarm was set with that particular song in my dad's phone without my knowledge of the song being sent to my dad's phone in the first place

What that makes this worst: After my lil brother knew that the song sort of freaked people out, he decided to never reveal it for the fun of it

How this came to be solved: My father came to me for some problems with his phone, as he never once took time to explore his phone or read the usuage manual, and then!! AHAH!! I SAW IT!! THE ALARM!! THIS ******* SONG WAS THE ALARM AT THIS ******* TIME!! My lil brother smiled the 'HEHEHE' smile... and there it is, the smile of confession!!

This is just some of the reason why lil brothers are always termed as an irritant, however, he is still my lil brother, and no matter how much of an extreme irritant he is, this is the fact that will never change! Yea, this concludes the end of this Creepy Encounter... AT HOME!! 'trilogy'!! Nothing to do with the supernaturals and those unknown Hidden Ancient Ones behind the mysterious Veil that naught should thus know of.... NOTHING AT ALL!! WOO HOOOOO WOO HOOO WOOO OOO OOO, NOTHING AT ALL! TOMORROW I'LL WAKE UP, DO SOME P90X... ... blah blah blah sorry I'm rambling but yea, this is the end of Creepy Encounter!! NO MORE!!
