Here I am again. Alone in the library. Sheesh.

Top Few Songs In My Playlist.
1. Britney Spears- Toxic (Bloody shite. The MTV is hot!!! )
2. Britney Spears- Me against the music
3. Ruben Studdard- Superstar
4. Norah Jones- Come away with me
5. Kelly Clarkson- Before Your Love
6. Kelly Clarkson- You make me feel like a natural woman
7. Beyonce- Baby boy


Hee. Pretty pathetic amount of songs, but what the heck. I just can't think of others right now.
I suppose you can see from my list of songs that bands don't really feature much in my musical influences.

Funny. I'm supposed to be posting in the FQ forum right now. What the hell then, am I doing here?

I guess I could always answer my question in the earlier posting. Where the hell has Melvyn gone?

I think he's still there. Just that sometimes, he gets so tired of being Melvyn, everything just goes into hibernation. He doesn't feel like doing anything that so classically typifies him as being Melvyn. He doesn't feel like entertaining anyone.

Seriously, it's taxing on the mind. Perhaps now you guys know why I'm silent sometimes. It's not that I'm hungry or tired or sleepy or anything.

It's because Melvyn is tired of himself.

Which Royalty Are You? Find out! By Nishi.

Okay, apparently there's nothing wrong with the tagboard after all. Like Yay. Don't have to waste my time trying to fix it.

It's been 3 days now. Since murder game has started. Audience rate seems to have gone down. Oh wait. Maybe it maintained at a certain amount of people.

There's been a lot of behind the scenes stress. Problems with the VCD, mis-communications... people getting pissed off, tempers flaring. Thankfully, most of it had nothing to do with the actors. It was mainly on the part of the production, directors all that. Haha, so not so bad for us actors.

It's been enjoyable acting. It's also been terribly exhausting. Anyone has any idea how taxing it can get playing someone that's totally NOT you, remembering lines that have to be said in a certain way that brings out the character. Then one must entirely change the way one walks, the way one thinks. At the end of it all, sometimes I wonder:

where the hell has Melvyn gone?

Haha. The tagboard is down. i promise to fix it asap. Which isn't now of course.

Hee, MURDER GAME IS IN IT'S 2nd DAY!!! Yay! I'm so excited! After so many long weeks of tiring rehearsal after rehearsal, I finally can show the audience what we've been labouring at. I must say that acting in front of a curious crowd is really difficult. You have to pretend that they're not there, that all you see are the fellow actors.

But it's so fun. On asking daphnie and sinthu, they said that it was really good! To the both of you(if you ever read this): I really appreciate the fact that you guys found it a great show. It made my day!!!

Yay. I've gone all mad now. Just look at the colour you're reading off right now. It's a freaking bright yellow!!!!

BEAUTIFUL AIN'T IT??

LOL!!!! Relax. I'd probably change the colours. Just as soon as I finish pissing everyone off.

=) Sue Me.

I'm good man, tell me I'M GOOD!!!!! Just a few minutes of tinkering and ta-dah!!! I've revamped the whole template and included a whole new TAGBOARD.

Lol. Pardon me. I like to bask in the little things I succeed in. There's so little else in my life unfortunately.

There now. All the visitors to my humble little abode. Yeah right. What Abode. Fine. To me humble little webby... You now have the perfect little tagboard with which to apply your posts to. How sweet of me. =)

Aiight. Just a few more hours and murder game here I come. Tee hee hee it is not. I'm actually quite nervous. So nervous that I'd shit in my pants. Lol. Of course not. I'm just nervous. Nervous enough to have me little butterflies flyin' around in me tummy, but not nervous that it's really that visible to others.

In fact, Nadira says I never look nervous. Gee, I must have facial features of stone I guess. LoL.

I wonder if I'll screw up? I wonder if the others will screw up. Most importantly of all, will there be anyone watching later?

That's the most important question of all. All the greatest acting in the world will come to naught if there's like no one there to watch the acting. Like duh.

Ah. It's 2.26am in the morning. Perfect time for blogging. Rrright.

Gee, I'm hungry. I know most of you people who know me would probably go like, "what's new melvyn??" but hey, just allow me to say that I'm hungry? Doesn't really help I know, but whut the hell anyway? LoL...

Let's see, what happened today? Oh yeah. I went to Miss Lim Poh Bee's House!! For some CNY thingy. Boy, her house is nice! Almost couldn't find it though. There it was right under our noses. Or rather behind it. We were all facing the even numbered houses, when there the house was, an odd numbered house standing right there behind us. And it didn't even make a noise to alert us to its presence. How inconsiderate.

Then after that, I left with Daphnie to go to Shao Jun's house. Haha, we had a steamboat dinner there, with Kish, Darren and Shao himself. Lionel, Na, Bel, Kit, Jing Chong, KT & Shadows came later (what's new?? *rolls eyes*). Gee, that was one whopping dinner. The cold evening breeze was blowing, and that made the steamboat all the more delicious, since it would keep us warm! Haha, it sure was fun eating all the food, rushing from each other, fighting to steal the food the other person cooked. Wahaha, it brought out the greediness in every human. Wahaha!

Ooh, after that, we gambled!! Haha, unfortunately, I lost me close to $10 though. Pretty bad luck I guess. Then we played Indian Poker. For those in the dark in this game, I shall thus endeavour to enlighten thine mind.

INDIAN POKER
Essentially a simple game. It is played with one deck of cards, with each player holding up one card against his forehead. As such, only the other players can see your card. There should be one cup, and with it jugs of drinks. The drinks can range from egg yolks to alchohol, depending on your fancy. Each player takes a turn to pour an amount of drink he deems sufficient for the "Loser" to drink.

How then does one define the "Loser"?
Simple. Just choose. The highest card holder, or the lowest for that matter, shall be defined the loser. Of course, one is not restricted to that. It could be the 4th highest person or 3rd lowest person. It's all up to the ones playing the game.

There, understand it now? Such a simple game right? Pretty fun too. Today we used alchohol, so everyone of course wanted to be the loser, us being illegal drinkers and all. LoL.
Unfortunately, someone brought in the idea of mixed up drinks, so Kit and Shao's brother went to mix up drinks. They came back with 2 exotic concoctions. Egg yolks, condensed milk, sugar, salt just to name a few ingredients. Thank God I didn't get to drink it.

Stuff like this should happen more often. It's too rare that anyone gets to have fun in Singapore anymore.

Grr. Can't put a bloody tagboard on this moon template thingy. Darn. I gotta get me a new one. People who actually read my blog, you better get your last glimpses of this moon thingy. Cos like an eclipse, it ain't coming back for a loooonnng time.

Gee, after watching American Idol, you realise that there is more to America than just good acting, and glamourous lives.

you realise that America, is really NOT a good place to live in. The people there are all so full of themselves! I mean, their ego, is bigger than a HDB flat. And it's probably harder to break than one too. They go in singing like crap, and after being told that they are singing like crap, they say the judges don't know what they're losing out on.

How self-centred is that? And it's not just one person who's like that. It's entire platoons of Americans living in America who are like that.

America the Beautiful? America the Ego-Ful more like.

I hear incest in the air!! Haha. It's Chinese New Year!! The time where you go around Singapore to visit the relatives you probably won't see for the rest of the year!! AND guess what? I found me 2 hot cousins!!

Of course I'm not going to marry them.

Of course I'm going to make friends with them.

Unfortunately, they're 20+. Damn. Oh wait, I mean, well. Damn. Never mind.

I realise that someday, the people whom I mention in my posts are probably going to be reading all that I've posted about them. And here is what I have to say. I need a disclaimer.

Haha, there's definitely more then just that lah.

what i post, is a representation of what i felt at the time of posting. In no way should anyone ever assume that I continue to feel the same way. Feelings, thoughts and emotions change, and just because what you're reading is a bunch of insults doesn't mean i continuously feel the same way.

so please, if you, the reader are completely offended by what i have to say or have said, come and find me and ask me about it. Better yet, if you find my words offensive, then don't read lah.

Yawn...

Right now I'm in class, or rather, in the lab, typing and typing away at the class forum. Gee, like we're sitting right next to each other in the lab but noo we must talk to each other online.

Of course, it's a lot more quieter than talking since all we're really doing is just typing and typing away.

I think I've got a really nice teacher for my LSM though. I mean, her name is Jane Marie Ng, and from first glance at her, you'd think she's some super psycho bitch who simply loves eating teenagers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But then, when she really starts teaching you, you realise that she's actually quite the nice person, with that tinge of sarcasm that so marks the difference from a mediocre teacher and a great one.

Of course, I could be totally wrong, since I've only attended one tutorial under her. But then, this is what the first impression gives me, and I thikn my first impression isn't too far off from the mark. =)

Insensitivity lurks in the soul of the human heart. No matter how hard one may try, it still comes out at the most unfortunate of times. And I'm not just talking about how a guy wants sex when the girlfriend's best friend has died or something like that.

I just stood watching this girl, Tammy bitch at Kay, who, by the way, is another girl.

See, I'm in this Murder Game, which essentially is a play about this group of people who die, with the killer being someone amongst them. Kinda like Scream.

But anyway, Kay's the director, and today, she decided to embark on some publicising for the whole show. Tammy, is a member of the publicity committee.

So, when Tammy came back from lunch today, she saw Kay in the midst of her publicising stunt. She went up to Kay with a smile, and then she went "Wow, how nice of you Kay, first you interfere with the scriptwriting, and then now you are diong the publicity as well. Why don't you take over as overall head, and then we can all quit and sit back and watch you do everything?"

What was the point of all that? I mean, Kay was just trying to be helpful. I do not think that she deserved verbal abuse like that. Naturally Kay stomped off in anger. Thankfully, she didn't lash out at Tammy, or things would have turned ugly.

Talk about diplomacy I guess.

Jeez!! I just realised something!

I have the exact same template as DHANYA!!!! Talk about great minds thinking alike huh? LOL...

I think I made mine first though. Oh wait. I'm not sure... Ah what the hell. I believe that I should go and change it, as soon as I actually find the mood to. Which will be forever.

See, I'm now about to dispense some advice that all the world would do well to consider and adhere to.

Never drink 4 cans of coffee at one go.

It will completely ruin your body clock. Oh yeah. I'm one heckuva living example right here. It's 1212 in the morning, I've not slept for 17 hours, and here I sit, wide awake. =X

'Tis an un-fun affair.

Current Fave Music In All The World

1. Don't Know Why... Norah Jones
2. Come Away With Me... Norah Jones
3. Turn Me On... Norah Jones


This is all a phase, or so I tell myself. Everything is all about Norah Jones. I guess it's the kind of songs she's singing. It's soothing. And I really need some soothing these days, what with all the wunnerful timetable and all.

*Yawn*

Shucks, it's 2.54pm, and here I am, blogging away in the school library. What on Earth am I doing there? I should be at home, I should be lying down on the bed, I should be bloody fast asleep.

Of course, life is ALWAYS unfair.

The first day of tutorials and lectures has just passed. Gee, I've got the best starting anyone could ever have. Talk about monday blues! Sheesh, I start at 8 bloody am in the morning, and what do I get? I get a teacher who speaks at like 10 words per minute. Coupled with that deep voice of his, he nearly hypnotised the whole class into sleeping forever. I mean, what were the timetable planners thinking, giving us a teacher who speaks so slowly and monotonously for lessons at 8 in the morning??

Of course, I didn't get the best of classmates either. There's Daph, and that's always good. The rest of class...well, let's just say that I'll need time to get used to them huh?

I've got Xuan <== Talkative devil of the world. Apart from that, I've got Michelle, who's like this cute hottie girl thing. The rest of class, pretty much forgettable people lah.

Time will tell if we're all like a good class or something I guess.

It's happened. Finally. Of course, I'm a little overdue in saying all that of course. Oh yeah, for those who aren't in the know... I broke up with my girlfriend.

Jerk! That's what I hear when people find out. Well, not everyone says that of course, but some did. But am I really being a jerk? Of course, when you look at it from the point of view of the girl, I'm definitely a jerk. Fancy being dumped just because I lost interest in her?

Nobody sees the other side, or it could just be me trying to justify myself. I think it's the latter. Anyway, it's the part where I broke up because I knew that dragging it on further would serve no purpose, but only to cause more hurt as she gets further entwined in the relationship. Nip the problem in the bud, I say.

Of course, to the casual observer, it's also a case of extreme bad timing. First day of school, and the poor girl gets a bomb like that dropped in her lap. How sweet of me.

But hey, you know what? I think she had it coming. All that whining, all that problems that come a'runnin to me. I mean, dear girl, do you REALLY have that many darned problems? Or are ya just blowing things up for some melodrama?

Of course, it's terribly insensitive of me to say all that, but hey, I'm not known for sensitivity aren't I? Otherwise I'd be some Doctor Love on some talkshow or something. <== Notice how I rip that right off the TV show, that had Rui En in it. What was the title again? Can't recall. Damn.

Love isn't as wonderful once it's over.

SCHOOL'S ABOUT TO START!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, in just a few hours time, I'm gonna join the rest of TP in going to school. I'm excited. Why? Cos I'm finally getting a life. Of course, it's not much, but it IS definitely better than languishing at home doing nothing but using the computer.

Even neopets got boring after a while. I hope the rest of the neopet population doesn't strike me dead for saying that. *shudders*

An Exposition(whatever that means) on the greatest website in the world.

Childish. Pointless. Boring. These are but a few of the words that critics use to describe the greatest website in the world. But is it really childish, pointless and boring?

Perhaps you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Neopets. Lights of acknowledgement go pop in your head? Of course. It's one of the most popular virtual world website in existence. 67,206,386 members as of 3rd January 2004. That's 20 times the population of Sunny Singapore. And it's in its 6th year of existence! That's an average of a million new members a year.

Of course, I'm not just going to go on and on about statistical figures. Such things tend to turn minds off and induce a sudden great drowsiness in people. I wonder why? But I digress. What is it that drew so many people, young and old, to this website? The bright colours? Surely not...there are colour blind people who joined. The cutesy pictures? Wouldn't that turn adults off then?

To me, I think it's the ingenuity of the whole site. It mirrors the real world, yet retains about it a certain fantasy that separates it from Planet Earth. The real world? Just take a look. There are:

a) Stock markets
b) Items found on Earth
c) Wars...Titanic Battles if you will.

This is of course, not an exhaustive list. But then, even Saddam would do well to notice Neopets. I mean, what better way than to draw people to your flag under the guise of kiddy games don't you think?

Or perhaps he could learn a few lessons about human nature. Just a few months ago, there was a war organised by the creators of the website. Users could choose to be good or evil. Many of course...chose evil. There's always something about being evil that draws crowds. Naturally, the evil side prevailed in the beginning. Yet, as the war dragged on, the side of light, of goodness, starting edging up on the dark side. Suddenly, people were deserting evil in droves. In the end, good triumphed over evil.

Lesson to learn: People will always go to the superior side. Apparently good ol' Saddam didn't think of that did he?

Of course, there is always the fantasy side of Neopets. Fairies, strange worlds... Pets with names that don't make sense. Like a deer like neopet called Ixi. Pets with names that make sense.

Neopets also appeal to the potential pet owner! With a few simple clicks of a mouse, you've suddenly got yourself a pet. You can play games, open a shop to sell things, even create a totally useless and un-used Neohome for it. Then, when you get bored of it, you can leave it to starve for years, and it won't die. It'd just be dying. Then, when it's pathetic look finally irritates you, you can just dump it in the Neopound for a measly sum of 250np. Amazing isn't it?

At the end of the day, it's definitely your own personal opinion of it. My opinion? Don't take it too seriously... just treat it as an alternate reality.

Top Few Things I'm Looking Forward To This New Year

1) A Life.
2) Finding ways to get one.
3) Pissing people on the train off.
4) Gambling. Legally.
5) Getting Drunk.
6) Getting a hangover.
7) Getting hell from parents when they find out. =)

Hello to myself! Here's to official post number one!! Whatever. Oh yeah, and Happy New Year!!!

I got started on this for one reason. No, not to glorify myself on the Internet. It's because Dhanya told me to. Ha!

It's New Year's Day. And I'm sitting at home typing this out. Fact number 1: Evidence I've got no life. Fact number 2: I'm dead bored. Lol.

I should make a new year resolution: Get a Life.
Funny thing is, I don't know how to go about doing it! Ah..perhaps another resolution might help: Learn How to Get a Life.

It's getting pretty late. 1229 says the computer clock. No wonder. Ah. Great surprise.

I'll stop right here. Self-glorification has worn out its novelty.
