Updates
this blogskin is entitled, "chapter three"
because its my third masterpiece (not including the ugly ones).
and why "back 2 basics"?
seriously, i have got no idea.. but the
first thing that comes into my mind when
i see the black, white and grey shades
(used in the blogskin), is "back to basics".
so i've added and got rid of various
applications in this blogskin and i'll
try to update it whenever i feel like it.

helo people, haven't been blogging much recently because i'm rather busy with some stuff and am a "LITTLE" bit lazy (quoted, wenn) haha. furthermore, i don't wanna bore you all with dull entries. so i'll just try to summarise the interesting bits and pieces =)
started my monday with a lunch with my parents, cousins and relatives. and for some reason, i seem to have fallen into a clumsy spell. everything i did was elephant-liked =/ (for example, tripping a couple of times, even at home, spilling my cousin's cup of tea, etc.) anyway, after which, we went to various places like mustafa and queensway to get some stuff.
have you realise how singapore is getting warmer and scorch-ier every single day? yup, so beacuse of that i'm always either with my cap or sunglasses 80% of the time i'm out. as for the t-shirts, since my parents went to fila to shop for some stuff, i pestered them to get me something too haha
and here's an interesting sight in mustafa..
Fee Fi Fo Fum!
the box of cornflakes is really HUGE! i've never seen such a huge box of cornflakes before ._. placed kirouchi beside it so that you can gauge the size of the box.
as for tuesday, i didn't manage to do much because i was suffering from diarrhoea the entire day. (my ass was practically burning from all the discharge =x) so that's one of the reason why i was rather pissed with you, queena, when you kept asking me to do small minor stuff that you could do it by yourself..
putting that aside, i learnt something from watching korean shows again!
tadah~
yup, i learnt how to make this out of curiosity and boredom. this is the towel that the koreans place over their heads when they go to suanas. it's rather useful keeping my hair away when i'm washing my face, etc., since my hairband broke.
everyone's busy these few days.. amos, kelvin and clarence are already in the army, wency, queena and gin are busy with school, riah is working and my poly friends who ain't in army yet are saving money for a thailand trip which my mum forbade me to go. so since i've got absolutely nothing interesting to blog about, i've decided to tell you all about the story of the Regulars!
everything started before Juibilance Day, 14th January 2005. then, bmcb was still under the baton of Refat. and although some of you might hate me for saying this, but without him, we would never have band exchanges with bands under Ms Doreen Tan, met Clarence or even have a concert (which was my first and last). if i may, i will say that he is one of the random people who were involved in the creation of Regulars, or at least helped in a way or another. and since my oldest blog have got only entries after Jubilance, i'll try my best to recall how Regulars was formed...
Jubilance Collage!
the pioneers of the group only consist of 3 people from what i can recall - clarence, queena and wency. Regulars was also known as DumbZ at that time, because we will never fail to do crazy stuff which is known to be really stupid. that's also when i appeared in the scene.
Dumb - Wency Dumber - Queena Dumbest - Clarence Dumbestest - Me haha memories seem to be gushing through my brain now
and i realise something, i was a really lousy writer then whahaha.. anyway, back to the story..
highlight.. 18th January 2005 - Meeting with the Alumni Band at Tiong Bahru "I made a discovery today. I realised that it's very enjoyable for 6 people to share 1 cup of drink... LOL..."
haha, somehow the sharing part seems so vivid to me. yup, thats the time when we had a misunderstanding and hated the alumnus. just so if you're wondering, the 6 people ain't the regulars - can't remember who was there as only wency, queena and my name was mentioned. hmm, i realised that we used to have lots of phone/msn conversations with each other and also gone to each other's houses quite often to rot in the past.. and i seem to be jinxed whenever i'm out with riah in every single entry lol.
highlight.. 21st January 2005 - Cycling and Blading at East Coast (Clarence, Kelvin, Queena, Wency and Me) "Best Screamer of the Day - Queena Best Dancer of the Day - Clarence Most Amount of Falls Award - Wency ~ Bonus Award ~ Most Jia Lard Faller Award - Clarence *Applause, applause*
21th January 2005 - Nominated for the Fun & Funniest Day Award =D"
and yes, queena used to scream a lot when she was younger =p
quote.. 26th January 2005 "Today, the Regulars - Wency, Clarence, Queena, Kelvin, Amos and me, went to Jurong East Entertainment [JEE] to Ice-Skate..."
this was the first mentioning of the word Regulars, soo i'm assuming that that's the day that Regulars was formed =)
highlight.. 5th May 2005 - DotA with Amos and Kelvin "Me, Kel and Mao, played dotA. And this time it sure was enjoyable for us, as someone challenged us to a game of dotA, 3 0n 3. At first, I was kinda like don't like the idea at all, but both of them manage to coax me to play the game and so we played. Haha, and I sure was glad that we did, as we kick as*, and it's like so fun lor =D I have got the most frags [First time I got "Beyond GodLike", with a Moon Rider], and Mao have got the highest score."
those were the good old days.. no stress, no worries, just pure enjoyment and entertainment.
quote.. 22nd April 2005 - Random Post on Friends "RegularZ will always be RegularZ - Wency - Yee Gin - Queena - Amos - Clarence - Kelvin"
and although gin has been mentioned a few times hanging out with the group, the entry on 22nd April 2005 was the first time that her name appeared stating that she's inside already, so i guess this marks the day gin joins the regulars =)
quote.. 3rd September 2005 "Met the RegularZ Galz for dinner after my class in taka... After that I went to Ikea with Riah to have supple (i think i meant to type supper)."
and then the addition of the last member, riah~ so, we continued to stay together till now.. so i guess Regulars is already 3 years old! haha although some of us have known each other for more than 7 years.
anyway, lets stop the story-telling and talk about the members of the Regulars individually..
Name: Amos Nickname: Bitch (alternate: ultraman) Nickname Derivation: Hmm actually, i don't really remember why i gave him that nickname. Maybe because we are the "gay couple" in the group who does crazy stuff to each other when taking pictures.
Name: Caleb Nickname: The Delinquent One (alternate: monkey) Nickname Derivation: Let's see.. I'm boring, obnoxious, lazy super lazy.. need me to say more?
Name: Clarence Nickname: Alcoholic Nickname Derivation: He is the heavy drinker of the group and is also responsible for giving me my first drunken experience. Never sit next to him (whether it's front, left, back or right) when you're in a pub ._. *nods heads*
Name: Gin Nickname: Auntie Nickname Derivation: There were a couple of times when she dressed up auntie-ly, hence her nickname. And although that only happened a few times, the image of her being an auntie is already permanently installed in our minds lol
Name: Kelvin Nickname: Momo Nickname Derivation: He once called himself Momo (which means peach in japanese), so since then i've always known him as that. As for how he got that nickname for himself, i've got absolutely no idea.
Name: Queena Nickname: M.o.B (i.e. Mother of Bitch) Nickname Derivation: Isn't this self-explanatory? haha, for those who really have got no idea, let me give you a hint - Amos is her son. If you still don't get it, look at his nickname. And if you are really wols and still can't figure out why, you should just go and face a wall and start banging your head against it.
Name: Riah Nickname: Babe Nickname Derivation: We used to be really close and will act as if we were married to each other, though we both know that that will never happen haha. She's the only one in the group whom i can confide all my tiny little secrets that are kept inside me and is ever-ready to comfort me with her words whenever i needed them. She is the one-in-a-million true friend that you can find in the whole universe, i guess =)
Name: Wency Nickname: Nerd Nickname Derivation: She's not really a nerd, but since she's not as smart as i am (according to an iq test =p) but is the only one among us who's eligible for Junior Collage, she'll always be a nerd in my eyes haha. Furthermore, she proclaimed herself as being hardworking, so someone who isn't super smart yet works very hard in school.. *images nerds studying in school*
haha and so they lived "happily ever after" ._.
the family portrait (credits to queena for the nice editting)
haha i think i should stop reminiscing about the past..
the blog has undergone more transformation and will be reaching the final stage of its metamorphosis soon! before i state any of the updates, i would like to say that someone actually asked me for the html codes of my current blog because he wants to do a similar version for his blog shop. haha thank you! i'm honored that someone actually appreciates my blogskin =D
soo, here is the list of updates: - modification on tagboard - added a link to my home page - updated profile page
i've just realise that the tagboard is actually not bugged, but beacuse my tagboard is so long (compared to the ones in my previous blogskins), it reaches the word limit (per post) in less than 2 lines. therefore, i've reduced the typing area to just 1 line =)
the 2nd update would be on this picture. added a mouseover effect, and added a link on it which will bring you back to my homepage. just in case you're really blur and don't know where you've seen this picture before, it's the left most picture at the top of the screen.
last but not least, the profile page, which is half way done, is up and running!
smaller version of the profile collage
if you're gonna puke over that, go ahead and grab a basket and puke. blame it on my narccissist-ness, but i've got no intention of changing the pictures, so either live with it or don't ever bother clicking on the link to the profile page. will try to finish updating it asap.
just had my breakfast and it was terrific - peanut porridge, fried noodles and a cup of milo. actually i prefer the fried bee hoon compared to the noodles, but it was sold out at the time that i went and buy it.
who said that nice breakfasts can't be simple
please ignore the lousy photography because the food was really.. mmm, delicious! btw, these are bought from a famous shop located in chinatown and it only sells porridge, fried bee hoon and fried noodles =)
anyway, today's entry is all about food i guess haha cause the next segment that i'm gonna blog about, is my lunch with gin yesterday. was agonising on whether i should meet up with her, because i was feeling really lazy and had a really huge pimple on my nose =x but the thought of eating my maid's cooking for lunch made me zoomed out of the house lol..
seafood ramen, cha shu ramen, fried tofu & californian maki~
yup, we went to ajisan ramen for lunch at tiong bahru. wanted to try something new which was cheap, since we didnt have much cash with us. the food there isn't really appealing, but it wasn't that bad either and $13 per pax for a bowl of ramen, a side dish and a drink was quite reasonable. so i guess, if you're really broke and wanna eat japanese cuisines, you can try this restaurant =) ohh and here's the highlight of the day - because we didn't really mix the wasabi and the soya sauce properly, when gin dipped the californian maki into the sauce, i guess a few bits of the wasabi got stucked onto it and when she placed it her mouth, hahaha you should've seen her face.. she look really cute when she's red lol
and if you guys remembered, i once said that i wanted a new hobby right? haha i'm thinking of obtaining some cuininary skills, becauce you never know when you'll need it haha. just hope that i don't die of food poisoning due to eating.. my own.. food ._.
anyway, i hope that you've enjoyed today's gastronomical experience here at thedelinquentone.blogspot =)
Featured Reality/Variety Show We Got Married (Korean)
the couples (from left to right) CrownJ, InYoung, Alex, ShinAe, HwiJae, YeoJeong, Solbi, Andy, HwangBo, HyunJoong
this show pairs up celebrities randomly and they are suppose to potray themselves as real life couples. fortnightly, they will be given a mission - for example, organise a house warming party, which they will have to accomplish. in between scenes of their dates, there will be interviews with the participants being asked with questions like what they feel about their partner and what they like or dislike about him/her. the interviews and the actual date together as a couple are all prefilmed as the participants and MCs watch it together.
so that's basically how the show works. ohh and it all started out with 4 couples, and then 2 pairs - 1 pair decided to stop their relationship (HyunDon & Saori - not shown in group picture), and the other stopped for a while because of business plans and had a reunion after a few episodes. (Alex & ShinAe - their separation brought me to tears) and at that time when the 2 pairs got off the show, 2 more pairs were introduced into the show - HwiJae & YeoJeong (who's now "divorced") and HyunJoong & HwangBo which makes up the 5 couples that can be seen in the picture.
Caleb's Favourite Couple Ranking.. 1 - Andy & Solbi and HyunJoong & HwangBo 3 - Alex & ShinAe and CrownJ & InYoung 5 - HwiJae & YeoJeong and HyunDon & Saori (The last 2 couples are already out of the show)
SO THIS IS A MUST WATCH!!! seriously, you will not regret watching it =)
note: this show isn't complete and is still on-going and just for your info, the couples are not officially married. they are only "married couples" when doing the show. what happens off-stage is entirely up to them =p
and this is the song that made me weep when Alex & ShinAe separated - 화분 by Alex

Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do (Korean Movie) when i first saw the title of this movie, i thought that its gonna be about bands and music. but my guess was only half right, because its about music, but more of the singing and rock band kinda music and not the symphonic ones. the story of this movie is about a love triangle and how true love prevails. this movie is actually quite touching and it made me teared up a little when friends of the main character tried to force him to recall his memories (which he lost due to an accident).
note: in case you're wondering, there's isnt any typo error, its "Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do" =)

Ichigo 100% (Japanese Anime) if i'm not mistaken, ichigo actually means strawberry in japanese, and this anime revolves around girls wearing strawberry panties. typical anime storyline where the male character attracts many girls but couldn't decide on who he really liked. so basically, this anime is about his life and how he decides on who he really want to be steady with, though it doesn't really have an ending to his choice. (this anime is kinda like school days, just that this anime doesn't have a bloody ending)
warning: this anime contains explicit scenes which might be offending to some people.

hmm, i think that one of the reasons why i'm totally in love with korean dramas and movies is because of the storyline! its always about romance and intertwined relationships which is totally my favourite genre haha and if you're wondering where the rating for winter sonata is, it will be posted in my next set of ratings only because im still searching for websites to watch the last 2 episodes which the uploader got rid of in mysoju.com!
Please note that the following stuff that i'm gonna blog about might be a SPOILER to the drama, "Winter Sonata". Hence, you may want to skip this post if you are watching or intend to watch the drama.
*** SPOILER ALERT ***
if you've ever watched this drama, you will know that there were actually speculation that jong-sang and yu-jin are actually half-blood related. (meaning they were thought to have the same father, but i think they are not related in the end. btw, im still downloading the last two episodes hence i don't really know the ending yet.) so the question that i had in mind when i watch that part was..
Qn: are half-siblings or step-siblings able to get married legally? (note: half-siblings are blood related while step-siblings ain't)
so before i actually reveal the answer that i found, here's another intersting thing that i read about while researching on that topic..
Quote.. "Up until recently, in certain Asian cultures, it was forbidden to marry those with the same surname regardless of relations. These clan marriages were considered incestuous... because having the same surname was considered as having the same ancestor."
hmm, i wonder what would've happened if i told my parents that my girlfriend has the same surname as me lol
anyway, the answer to the question is..
Quote.. "All states prohibit a person from marrying a sibling, half-sibling, parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, child, grandchild, great-grandchild, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew. Some states have additional prohibitions."
woopee~ just watched the latest episode of "We Got Married" and i can't wait for the next one haha. if you're curious about what "We Got Married" is, just watch out for my next set of ratings which will be posted real soon! (after i'm done with watching "Winter Sonata")
anyway, that's not the main thing that i wanted to blog about. the purpose of this entry is dedicated to the following video which i stumbled onto, in kok keong's blog.
Christian the Lion "love knows no limits <3"
i found this video really touching and interesting, so i've decided to share it with you guys =)
7.13am, Wednesday 23rd July 2008 - this marks the time and date of my delightful experience by my tiny balcony
anyway, i've wrote a short descriptive passage about it, so i hope that you guys will like it!
"the orange beams of the sun reflected a nice colour on the greenery as a slight delicate breeze puffed around my body. however, that gust of wind started to gain more strength and then decided to introduce foreign dark clouds into the surrounding. before long, the entire sky started to paint a gloomy piece and the sun was no longer in sight. a subtle pitter-patter then started to enter the scene with drizzles accompanying it. the clouds then started brewing a sad concoction which led themselves to tears.."
ok i really don't give a damn to any gramatic errors whatsoever, cause my english ain't that good to start off with. but i just felt like typing this out and so i did =)
this was taken right before it rained, so it aint that nice.. if you find the photos ugly, just live with it. after all it's my blog lol
although i'm not a good writer nor photographer, hope you guys will enjoy this post as much as i do..
note to self: never buy kellogg's classic cornflakes again because it's not filling! (1 box = 4-5 bowls, 1 meal = 2 bowls, 1 box = 2 servings) now i remember why i stopped buying this cereal.
the new blog link banner is up! so for those who actually use my banner, link me up with this new one, arigatou.
hmm, this actually took me more time than i expected cause ive added and got rid of the same stuffs for like zillions of time haha. was gonna add another image into it, but decided to get rid of it because it looks really odd. this actually looks like some blog shop link =p
hi guys, i know i haven't been blogging for quite some time, but that's because im making this blogskin. (which took me only a few hours) anyway, do you like this blogskin? i find it more elegant and mature, compared to the other skins that ive created and since it's a new blogskin, ive decided to get rid of my past entries and have an entire new blog! however, if your interested in the older post, (which i doubt any of you will be, unless you're crazy about my life..) you can always click on the links, "memories de prologue" (my very first blog) or "memories de interval" (which is my 2nd bloggy).
ok so thats the introduction for my first entry, and i feel kinda excited now somehow =/ anyway, do you guys remember in my last blog entry in my later blog, me mentioning about packing and transferring my old wardrobe into my current wardrobe? if you don't or wanna have a recap of that, visit memories de interval.
anyway, heres some pictures of my packing journey~
im not trying to boast or do anything of that sort, but isnt it so neat? i think it's even neater than my previous wardrobe =x
after packing my stuff for a longSUPER LONG time, im now really in love with it. ohh, and i really didnt know that ive got actually quite a number of clothes, just that ive got a bad habit of not wearing the older ones =x and i finally found the bed frame useful! haha use them to hang all my used bottoms =p and that picture with the hoody? (please ignore my messy look) i think i bought it during my higher primary - lower secondary days, but i've yet to wear it out. (not even once! but it's super thick and warm. think i'll bring it with my if i ever go to any cold countries)
ok, so that's all for packing. now lets move ahead to last saturday where i went to have dinner with wenn at abc market.
bitter gourd juice (mixed with apple) actually taste quite nice ._.
the food weren't fantastic, but i really enjoyed that day. somehow, when we went to buy some groceries after eating, i just couldn't stop my lame and cold jokes haha i seem to be high without liquor =x
so that's it for my very first entry in this blog =)

About Him..
he is not your typical guy who's fascinated over men chasing over a lousy spotted ball. (he doesn't even do sports,
unless you count building "castles of lego" in the air as one) hmm, his passion lies in music, arts and design,
though he doesn't really excel much in those areas and is probably what you'll call a SNAG - sensitive new age
guy a.k.a. someone whom you will call a sentimental narcissistic bastard who weeps over stuff like a tragic romance drama/movie
or a good romance novel. apart from those, he's rather introverted, especially when he's around people whom
he's not familiar with. soo, don't ever depend on him taking the first step if you wanna know him better =)
His Phrase..
"Dreaming alone does not help you achieve anything.."
