karma.

Welcome to the final post of 2013.

Seems like a little... late right? it's already nearing the end of the first month of 2014.
But I won't be able to end this post in peace if I don't do a conclusion post. Like how I always do. However, 2013 had been a year where too much happened, and... I don't think I will have enough time to savour all these beautiful moments and condense them into a post. It'll be too much.

So basically i'm going to go month by month, indicating the few highlights...
Also, I'm too lazy to dig photographs from my hard disk... so make do with the lower quality.

Before I start, I realized I had no concrete new year resolutions. It was always "Be yourself and do what you think what you will do". Much ego.

1. January
spent the first day... drinking red wine. high life.
i started work on around the 2nd week of January at Siemens Medical Instruments.
well, and let's not forget the job hunting progress.
Basically there was lots of meeting up with old friends
there was even a class gathering, to meet the people i haven't seen for like 3 years.

2. February
Picked up the hobby of playing with jigsaw puzzles, after office hours with my fellow OL /laopo, still tonnes of meet up with important people in my life. 
and how CNY was being celebrated (goes on for 15 days plz) last year, with new additions to the family. virgin attempt at timbre, and also valentine day date, 4buyaolian awesome class gathering, and more kbox. <333 also, i'm just gonna ignore what happened at my workplace, and lump them under the same category. but in between work meals (rush off to meet szenee) and everything else makes it memorable. also met up with le lanjiao , and bitches and

3. March 
A LEVELS RESULTS COLLECTION. which was like the first shit that happened in the month of march. expensive karaoke session at ksuites which follows after a bad day. Many open days. more meetups and HTHTs, lots of fun, love and laughter. i had a life.  and a haircut. getting publicly shamed by ex-classmate which i pretended not to recognize. also the every year MUST-GO, NUSCO concert,

4. April
And how i became a shopaholic shortly after employment. I think I had all the money in the world. also had a minor car accident which was not compensated for by this bitchy uncle who was using his phone while driving. FUCK. and the police station. and also prawning <3333
and then comes my favourite part (9 days) of April, available in part I and part II. 
i'm fucking grateful for the opportunity to play with kids and experience Songkran in the most local way EVER, where we traveled around, splashing water at most everything (except babies and monks). it made me felt so alive again. also, tonnes of good food, and sweating, and just sleeping at the kampong listening to cocks. that was also the last time i saw my grandmother.

5. May
undoubtedly my favourite part of 2013.
details available here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

and the best part of these blog posts is that it was done during my office hours (also, out of my office hours, if you know what i mean). don't worry, i multitasked and still finished my work before the others did. I don't even want to read the posts in full details because I'm afraid I'll cry (tears of joy). but this line probably will do all the summing up:

2013年的5月;

我們度過了幸福難忘的十天。

besides that, did my first beauty blog post!

6. June

and went on this rampage on fulfilling all my childhood fantasies, such as becoming a dj (i try) and working part time at a cosmetic store. i learnt so much within a short period of time. and albeit it was tiring and just fucking demanding, i'm glad i placed myself through the test of one month. (like, not leaving my post before the contracted period) 

and of course june is my birthday month, where i got a haircut and had food at JB for the day (despite the haze). shopaholic part II btw. those things aside, still had my catching up moments, brave through the haze.

7. July

well, XYZ outings, and meetups are just part and parcel of life.  i started to accumulate so much backlong (too much life, no time to blog),  i begin to do macro-blogging. things worth mentioning are all the titles of the post, well. pre-school life begun, and notable moments include freshmen camps (CAC & Camp Vision) and virgin clubbing trip. and i stopped blogging for a good 3 months. met the first few friends in uni. actually janice is considered the first friend i made in NUS. new bonds are forged, new friends are made, new experiences are felt and new memories form. #nostalgia 

i am getting old.

8. August

still on the topic of macro-blogging, and you can find wts happened in august here. 

it only gets from bad to worse as school begins and everything happened. orientation week, clubbing intensive, integrating into bizad itself, tonnes of (external) examinations, flagging, falling sick, more zouks, first day of school, new cliques, more ccas. #schoollife.

9. September

meanwhile, september happened. 

more xyz outings, going back to places I would have avoided for the rest of my life, outings with camp OGs, goddess shan <3, making more new friends hui<3, meetings, meetings, meetings, getting scammed into boot camp, out of comfort zone, more clubbing, food, food, sidewalk.

10. October

more meetups, going out with new friends, first nusco con, more sidewalk, meetings, meetings, presentations, work, frustration, usual things happen. just refer to this post for just about EVERYTHING. the thing about why i'm not reminiscing so much from this point onward was because of the backlog syndrome i was telling you about. 

11. November

Basically I squeezed two months into the same blog post. never again. (lies)

it was the examination month and was really quite hectic. but i'm glad it's over. I'm never looking back.

to add on to the finals stress, there was also events to head, dramas to act, and 7 days of confinement. November was horrible in retrospect.

12. December

Which all the made December so sweet. "Rid Devils, Lose Angels" - says Irene. 

so much happiness packed within 31 days I can't even believe it happened.

the sponsored trip to Japan + China happened: part 1 part 2 part 3

ok i mean like, it was partly torturous but WHO CARES IT WAS FREE.

and then there's the last month of 2013, split into one and two.

-------------

i apologize for the poor color coordination of this post.

& once again i'd like to thank everyone who played a role (minor or major) in my life in 2013. 

nice meeting most of you <3 and always great to have those few who played a constant in my life.

thanks for everything.

You can find me at chyisus.blogspot.com (2014), albeit nothing is up there yet as of now.

scrambled eggs

ok seriously i'm overdue on 2013. didn't even manage to do my conclusion and retrospect post.
I KNOW NO ONE IS READING BUT STILL.

THE FUCK DID I DO IN DECEMBER??!!

OK I STOPPED AT 11TH DECEMBER? GAME ON.

1. Freddie's Birthday Party [11th December]

You can find the details of the birthday party here.
https://www.facebook.com/events/455001594606177/?ref_dashboard_filter=calendar

Basically freddie and his two other friends joined together and hosted this birthday cum post exams party. I swear their theme is fucking adorable - doge!! say much wow?

anyway, for keepsake's purpose, i'm just gonna copy and paste what they posted on the fb page

"Wah sian I hate finals"
"GG DIE FML"
"Arghhhh i dont understand how the marginal cost of a monopoly can be more than the marginal revenue of a monopolistic competition when they differentiate their product and have high barriers to entry" (dont quote this)

Arent you sick of finals?
Arent you tired of languishing in the war against lecture notes?
Arent you dreading studying for things that you will forget and then never use ever again?

Here's an opportunity to help you forget better!

On 11/12/13, three of us, Bolong, Freddie and Lester will be celebrating our belated birthdays (18th November in case yall forgot bitches) and the end of the era of terror being the finals and we would like to exclusively invite you to join us in this resplendent celebration.

So, here's what you can do:
1. Buy us a gift (well, if you insist) or
2. Share a bottle, like, 3 to 1 (yeah?) or
3. You can live with being a jew and try to skip out on both.
We'd absolutely understand. Because, we're friends, right?

Hopefully with that we'd have enough booze to drown our sorrows, have a wild time, and then get wasted enough we can think of starting the next sem altogether anew!

So on a serious note, there will be good music, good booze and good company, so come down to celebrate our birthdays and the end of sem with us because YOUR PRESENCE IS THE BEST PRESENT TO US.

Cake will be served at <b>10pm</b>, followed by <b>champagne</b>, and that's when we'll get things started ;)

FUCKING FUNNY LOLOLOL.
ok the awkward thing is that i didn't take ANY photos with the birthday boys (i only know freddie anyway)...

and we actually had to go ALL THE WAY TO CHANGI for their birthday chalet. win.

ft e-sean, jolie and huish

will this do?

basically the whole night i was like drinking different types of alcohol. even had bartender (mr fucheng LOL) and had other mini dramas here and there. 

the before party drama was my favourite. 

wanted to go sex shop but everyone couldn't qualify and also i waited for everyone else for like 1.5 hours WHY WAS I SO PUNCTUAL.

and the highlight of the party was...

the red solo cups.

http://www.12redcups.com/

no i'm not shitting you. it's true. everyone was getting sexcited over the party cups.

anyway, there were people from other two schools too (NTU and SMU). even saw someone familiar there. oh well. 

night was well spent, watching drunk pageants, stalking cute girl with suspicious lupsup guy, HTHT circle of trust, watching Freddie clear up people's vomit, getting complained because we were too loud, having a very nice guy called John who drove us out into the road to get a cab. <3

2. First UNI-Y EXCO Meeting + Secret Santa [23rd December]

this was an 8 hours long meeting. 

dying inside.

introducing the IA department! (minus huilin because she couldn't make it)

sitting in a circle and acting serious... discussing workplan

we were supposed to turn up in christmas colors (red and green) BUT SOME PEOPLE THEY JUST SPOIL MARKET LOR OK CAN.

we even played secret santa... budget was $10, i got my elf daiso goods (consists of playing cards, a recorder, a pink mask and a canvas holder)... basically it was a sack of playfulness. [junxiang guessed it correctly]

on the other hand, i received a pair of socks from my secret santa, wonjae.

afterwards... don't tell you what i did :P

but omg i fell down the stairs

I recovered quickly but it fucking hurts. have to act like it doesn't hurt in order for it not to be.

3. XMAS EVE PARTY [24 December]

thank you very much to xinling and fam for inviting our fam over for the xmas party! <3

#dyedhair

6. IKEA & VIVO [28 December]

Food, food and more food!!!

7. GOODBYE BAKKUTTEH [29 December]

Fucking disappointing. My favourite family food (which means we patron there often) suffered a FUCKING GREAT DIP IN QUALITY. 

it was so fucking disgusting/unpalatable.

like you could taste sand inside the pork intestines. like it was grainy and crunchy. and it had this fucking sour taste. the youtiao was soggy, and omg i can't go on.

to me it's still acceptable if it's no longer "that delicious", but instead of being "sub standard", it became like FUCKING DISGUSTING. i cannot emphasize how FOUL it tasted.

goodbye ng ah sio bakkuteh.

i feel like crying. ):

8. NBC SECRET SANTA + SIKKEK + SINGING [30 December]

i think we ate for 2.5 hours. nonstop. too much.

i want to cry. YB the foodie thought these oranges were lemons and thought it was to be squeeze onto the meat.... ... i can't.

HOW TO EAT FOOD

HOW TO EAT FOOD 2

later it was SECRET SANTA TIME!

hahaha my secret santa was zihui <3 she got me a ladybug notebook. sorry for the part where i commented my secret santa has insect fetish LOL.

and my elf was CHETWINCUTIEPIE. i know you love the pan i got for you. first step in becoming a good tamed husband <3

NBC MAIN COMM 2014! (posing with our sweet sweet gifts)

9. PAGE 365 [31 December]

I don't even know how to begin.

My dad woke me up at around 4.30am in the morning? or was it 5?

"Your grandma passed away"

So begin the plans of flying back to thailand to be present at the wake and burying and the ceremonies. 

Details in another blog post.

So all my countdown plans were disrupted.

Despite, still went out to ice skate and had dinner. 

My mom went to play majong too.

I guess we need distractions here and there. But seeing your mother cry is what i'll put at the top in the list of "Worst Feelings Ever". Especially since the last time i saw my mom cry was like 9 years ago, where my grandpa passed away.

</3

And this post will come to an abrupt end.

Like how most lives did.

;Kace

supreme.

and here comes my second last post of 2013 December. (decided to split into two parts because i'm lazy like that )

I have totally no shit idea what the fuck happened in the few weeks when i wasn't in japan/china.

Just kidding.
I do.
I just cannot blog about it.
Because it's classified information.
And I may have to go to jail if I reveal it.

#jklawtf

As usual, i'll just post photographs, do captions, and mention random stuff I remember.

1. ZOUK [1st December]

as usual the clubbing photo qualities are fucking shitty hahaha 

first time i clubbed with other people, after the formation of the clubber gang.
Actually is just irene's cac clubber group adopted me <3

anyway. was really despo to go club on 1st december, like the first time after final ends.

at first was quite shy to go, but ok la know some of the people there.

mother of zouk (theo) jioed me there anyway... but she disappeared ):

oh well.

lots of bizad people there... omg these people damn party.

and most of them stayed at the west side.... #lastwarning

but like that share cab very convenient!

2. NBC 1st MEETING! [2nd December]

so the following morning our boss (chetwin) and a few of us who went clubbing last night met in BCR for our first ever NBC meeting.

too damn funny.

we were like damn cui.

and saw jj on the way to school, and he went into bcr to do his stuff, and he declared that "wah this room (nbc people) all clubbers"

well, we have leon. can't deny. oh and we have russy. and chetwin. can't deny. :P

the meeting ended quite on time. (BECAUSE WE HAVE A FKING LOVELY PD <3 CHETCHET) and we went to utown to eat lunch // bond!

that's it lo.

3. CATCHING FIRE [5th December] 

whole day date with laopo! khee pangsehed us and watched hunger games with someone else despite our pact to watch it together T_T

as usual, i'm never too punctual.

ailing bought krispy kreme for me <3 not like i didn't pay. 

because her iphone is gone. REMEMBER WHY? 

anyway the movie was good and all. then we also walked around town and stuff. dinner time was when i finally satisfied the craving for AYAM PENYAT

i think this chicken was.. hers

smile sweet sweet worh.

smashed chicken is mine!

and that concludes our day date...

moving on to night (group) date!

4. SIDEWALK APPRECIATION - COWBOY THEMED. [5th December]

we had a cowboy theme for the party lo.

bohemian dresses or denim or stuff.

the party was at anna's function room. blossomvale, if i'm not wrong.

can't even remember what they're doing.

not funky underwears, but like elemets to add zest to our cowboy outfits.

happy happy

leeyin damn cute hahaha <3 in front of the wanted wall.

is this called a pinata again? SERIOUSLY THIS IS MADE OF CUPBOARD THAT IS INDESTRUCTIBLE. the process of whacking it blindfolded was too damn funny.

we had to play charades / role playing. me and jess were doing sth about this coybow falling in love with a girl.

omg i freaking love zixin's performance that night... HER PICKUP LINES ARE ONE OF A KIND!!! (ok not really but to be able to think ON THE SPOT and ewww all of us... she deserves an award)

i think we were having fun hahaha. i remembered laughing quite hard that night

random photograph taken!

me and my laopo! i was busy snapchatting

and our favourite photo!

'

cheesy zixin hahaha. loving how many familiar rv people you can see?

all went berserk.

was really quite a fun sem serving with you guys (ESPECIALLY MARKETING PLZ)

my favourite couple from sidewalk (guy-guy)

they should just get married la serious. the laus <3

and they made each and everyone of us cupcakes! (with our initials on it)

K!

received our certificates! #youngsters 

also the handover process! the new comm! <3

most positive attitude and most spontaneous award! 

wanted to go drinking after the event (i swear yuning they all heavy drinkers), but was quite scared that we'll miss the last bus....

so i pulled out hahahah!

anyway was damn tired also.

5. CHAO CLUBBER @ ZOUK [6th December]

one of the most repulsive clubbing experience...

anyway had to take care of amanda </3 she had a drink too many. 

not convenient to reveal too much details i think, it's her story! but it was still damn fun during the high phrase. 

so sorry for being the loudest nuisance group around the hobo bridge.

but it's really damn comfortable clubbing with this group of people!

mother of zouk <3 and her friend... i suppose... erm father of zouk?

other memorable (but still mentionable) moments include this young guy (19) we saw outside the club, laughing and talking at us while we took care of tacobellz. he was high.

then a kind stranger gave us a bottle of (unopened) water. and many gave suggestions on how to take care of her. also a group of strangers offered us free alcohol (no la not drugged don't think so much)

6. Hunger Run! [8th December]

jioed by Rachel, and organized by her group of church friends! had a lot of biz people there... made new friends and had a day of fun!

but.. sadly it was raining damn heavily. but since we were prepared to get into the water in the first place.. oh well, we carried out the games in the rain.

had to wait damn long to take this photo because we needed to wait for the globe.

slightly blurry but i think our group name is called X

chara! new friend made <3 

hahahaha we quite gum LOL -blow kisses-

our group without one guy (omg can't really remember his name, but he's joining nusbiz next year!)

oh ya haven't introduce what's hunger run. uh, basically they starve you and make you run.

not true.

it's a hybrid of hunger games and running man, as you can(not) see. 

however the irony was that, the first station our group played involved tonnes of food. like we're suppose to complete the food items in the shortest amount of time.

saw danial again, and he and his law friends really last warning. like won't lose one.

danial even swallowed egg shells in a bid to win. 

they won.

but i give it to them. 

i didn't know that egg shells is edible.

and yup, all the member sin our group!

random snapchat while we're almost disbanding.

however, the really shitty thing happened.

because we were suppose to tear off the name tags off the velcro (they painstakingly handsewn all the velcro onto the tshirts!!), the game got a little violent.

so basically this group sneaked up on us when the guys went washroom.

they attacked us, and we tried to fight back. but they were fucking rough.

this guy started to protect the girl, and he pushed me across, and i fell and slide across the wet, rough ground ): and went into the rain.

usually normal human beings will pause the game and ask if you're alright and help you up right? not them. 

they continued attacking.

i was damn fucking pissed off!!!! i mean, DO YOU HAVE TO RESORT TO THIS? 

THIS IS JUST A FREAKING GAME!!!

so while i went to jail (i didn't really, i just went to hide somewhere, and later helped another girl who's hair got stuck on the velcro, just like chara), while my members vowed(exaggerated) revenge for me.

i was injured, just btw

so at the end of the game, we have to claim the name tags back from people who tore it off.

i was so pissed off with the guy, (because i don't think his apology will be sincere anyway) i just grabbed the tag and went back. i don't even know how he looks like. don't wanna taint my eyes.

but other than that, it was still a fun event! glad i went, and thanks rachel for the jio <3

7. KBOX WITH BRA LIKE FINALLY [9th December] 

finally went kbox, after like 10 thousand years with bra.

good thing about going with her is that, you can exploit her and sing korean songs together

well our rendition of wrecking ball with SHIT PHOTO QUALITY.

the photo quality is so bad i'm so sorry.

but ya, also did a mini catching up at pizza hut before we went to sing k at old place.

8. K SUITES WITH JAN [10th December]

finally met up with jan after like donkey years! (ever since a month before the finals kicked in, where i had to pangseh her from my group project)

jioed to go k suites at bugis+!

coco ichibanya

she ate grass ):

smile with food. 

didn't sing for say very long, but the room ambiance was good as usual.

just that i don't like the wireless mic... the quality is compromised. and their rooms ain't soundproof.

#glam #no

top of the world

iphone 5 quality also... aiya. 

and finally bought this thing that had been on my mind since FOREVER ( i meant year 6 )

also got ourselves some prata dog... it's so damn good I think i'll just go get one everytime i shop at bugis street. omg the cheese and hotdoge and prata <333 wow. much deli. so juice. quite crisp.

great day chilling and just sharing things with jan.

ok that's it guess this is part 1... part 2 is where i do the events which occur after my trip.
