I am speechless

The Singaporean teacher arrested in Bangkok for allegedly trying to buy sex with underage boys over the Internet, has been identified as a lecturer from TP.

The school yesterday confirmed queries from the ST that Darwis Rianto Lim is a staff member and that he had been arrested for "alleged involvement in a sex-related offence".

He has been suspended from duties with immediate effect. "As the matter is in the hands of the Thai police, the polytechnic has no further comments," its spokesman added.

Does the term 为人师表 still stand in the world today?

Shing Fui-On

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Yes, that's the name of the supporting actor in Thunderbolt that I have been looking for! After searching high and low, i finally found out he's called Shing Fui-On! Then just minutes later, Yeow Ann told me i should have just asked him...

-_-"

But anyway! I wanted to put this up becos i think this actor has really been a contribution to the HK film society. If you watch HK movies, i am sure u musstttt have seen him before! Yet, many people dun even noe his real name (including myself!)

We probably recognise his face but it will be like "orhh.. the baddy in Jackie Chan's movies.." well, i hope he's more well-known in HK than in Singapore, but as far as i see, most posters dun have his name on it =(

Such is the fate of supporting actors. Without them, the show cun go on. Yet, they r often not neglected because everyone's attention is on the big leads!

Anyway u can click on this to find out more about him! =)

Goodnite

I think if it's not Singapore, I will not dare to walk out of my hse alone at 12 midnite to get dinner/supper.

I ate Teochew porridge, with salty meat & salty vege. Only the barley wasn't salty.

I walked back alone, then went 2 practice guitar in my sis's rm until i was tired.

i just realised when some people leave ur life, suddenli, u seem to have so much more free time 2 think & do alot of things.

I wonder if it's the same for him.

1st time playinG!

Today was the first time i played guitar for YF, was actually quite nervous even though i have practiced the song before. It was Rejoice in the Lord always which was pretty easy cos it had only had 2 chords.

I was pretty nervous initially but after a while, i felt more calm..

then i played How great thou art with spencer together which we only practiced before the session. i was really surprised i cld play it! i think God really had a part to play in this. I really feel he is guiding my fingers 2 strum the notes, the transitions & to keep up with the timing.

it's strange but i cldnt do it when i first came in touch with guitar almost 5 years back.. and within a few weeks, i have improved leaps & bounds. Maybe God really wants me to replace Irving since he has gone to NS and there r some sats where Spencer might have to work as well.

Besides, it has always been a dream 2 be able to play. tanks to all who have been encouraging me. even though i am still quite "lan" i will try to practice hard on it~~

music of the nite

Isn't it strange how some songs connect us with those certain moments in our lives?

For example, u will recall listening to this song when u were 16, when you were taking your exams or just simply because this song meant something 2 ya.

& i realised it's usually the sad songs tat leave a greater impact on you, yah?

but as i listen to an old song, it brings on greater meaning. It shows how i have grown over the years and how time really flies at times!

I guess it's time 2 sleep and stop being melacholic.. ha ha ha.

Fond memories

it's 1313 hr and i am alone in the maclab. waiting for the ij mei mei men to come & learn from us how to use imovie.

hur hur hur..

they look so cute. just lookin at 'em decked in their blue pinafores brings back fond memories of my 10 years in two different IJs. yes.. i was in nunnery for a decade.

primary sch was CHIJ Ponggol where huge spiders crawled on glass noticeboards & roofs that leaked when it rained. When there were thunderstorms, the school looked haunted. well, according to 99.9% of the students, the school is haunted. ya rite, maybe they were refering to the teachers or somthing.

but now CHIJ Ponggol is called CHIJ Our Lady of Nativity. which is such a large name they call it CHIJ (OLN). the last i went, it had a big big big compound that if u play catching, u will regret being the catcher.

The school looks more spacious, brighter & prettier. But the nostalgic 80s feel is gone.. :(

Then my teenage years were spent in CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls which is more of a top school than a convent. tats wad i always feel. it was another 4 years of the blue pinafore except that students competed among themselves who had the lowerest belt & shortest haircut.

& did u noe that for my sec 4 prom nite tat was held in school, every gal had to wear white! now talk about 400 white souls floating arnd in the school hall. ha ha ha

oh yes i was one of them. wearing hideous makeup & a sleeveless white POA dress. ha ha ha

Up in the nite

It's 4.54am and well i just helped my friend with a short video clip for her presentation tmr..actually its only in a few hrs.

yes... i noe it sounds crazy but i have to help my best friend rite? aniwae, meiwen did even more work than me with da photos. great job babe!

The layout of this blog has changed cos i think the more i look at my previous one, it loooks more & more childish. I also decided tat tagboards r quite unneeded and probably comments will be a better choice for ppl 2 leave their thoughts on my entries.

its 5am & my hunger pangs r annoying me n it doesnt help tat i ate a 10 course dinner just hrs before this. probably post up the pix some other day..

i think i shld get some sleep. it's such a nice & cool nite...
