fav FRENS
was watching reruns of FRIENDS on cable tv last nite... and they were showing the 2nd (or 3rd) season... cant remember and it was then thay i realised that they were showing my FAVOURITE episode... i remember 1st watching it back in JC like 6-7 years ago? and seeing it last nite made me tear just like it did the 1st time i saw it...
basically, the part of the episode which i'm talking about is towards the end of the show, when the whole gang is sitting ard the sofa, watching this tape which was a video shoot of rachel's and monica's prom nite... rachel 1st appeared with her big nose and then fat monica appears out of the kitchen... and later we get a shot of ross with his curly hair n moustache... and if u follow FRIENDS, you will know that ross had this crush on rachel ever since like.. forever
so anyway, turns out that monica's date arrived later in the evening but rachel's didn't... so ross' mom n dad encouraged ross to take her to the prom instead... initially reluctant, ross then proceeded to change into his dad's tuxedo... when he came out, he was smartly dressed but nervous abt taking the girl of his dreams to the prom... he took a moment to calm himself down and told himself "be cool, just be cool"... he then took this bunch of flowers from a nearby vase and started to walk down the stairs to meet rachel...
but... as he was 1/2 way down the stairs... it turns out that rachel's date did turn up afterall... and so the 4 of them (monica, rachel n their dates) rushed pass ross and went out the front door... the video cam then turned to ross.. who had a real disappointed look on his face... following which ross' dad asks for the video cam to be turned off.. and thats the end of the clip...
real sad... because to me i guess i can relate to that.. the loser guy liking the gal of his dreams and he ends up doing something sweet but silly, only to end up being disappointed... so maybe that's why it seems to affect me double whenever i see this kind of scences on tv or movies...
but at least for the FRIENDS episode it had a good ending, because after seeing the tape, rachel was real touched and she walked up to ross and gave his this really passionate kiss on the lips...
but of cos that's just a tv show, with a good ending... and life doesn't always have good endings.. well at least not in my case at the moment...
*this is dedicated to all the silly guys out there with a gal they like but they can't be with, hope u all have ur happy endings*

3hrs in the k
chin guan n weiliang stayed over at my place last nite.. and we actually caught up with our army fren jason... spent the evening drinking kopi and exchanging army stories abt our experiences in our different units after we all parted ways in BMT...
jason, like me, held an admin job in army... and after hearing abt how he dealt with politics and other troubles made me re-confirm that PR skills are really impt in army and later on when i start to work... it's much easier to get things done when u know the right ppl and u are able to prove urself...
we then spend the time from midnite to 3am ktving at kbox... and chin guan was able to display his wide vocal range n prowess, which made me even more sure abt why i chose him to sing for my non-college band which is still un-named...
it's really fun to have cg n wl over for a sleep over... when we just spend time together... but i'm just wondering when will this all come to an end... there isn't a limit to the legal age for sleep overs... but we are all now... and i don't really forsee us doing this when we are like 50+... imagine ur dad (or grand-dad) going over to his fren's place for a sleep over to play videogames n hang out... but i guess i will just have to take all this time we spend together and treasure it even more...

yes yes i puked
went to escape theme park yesterday... was kinda apprehensive becos had this feeling that i would puke after going on the rides... and boy was i right...
just sat the go kart thingy... and then this ride which had u lying with ur tummy down and it goes round n round.. and that's when it started... became intensely dizzy and threw up a few times...
the scientific explanation for this motion sickness is actually due to the smallest bone in ur body... which can be found in ur inner ear.. so when wat u see and when the motion that the bone detects doesnt coincide... ur brain gets mixed signals and thats when the trouble starts... not everyone is affected by it... but ppl like me who are more sensitive abt this kind of thing do...
guess i'm just made a sensitive guy... more sensitive sense of smell, hearing and even though i'm short sighted, tend to be pretty observant... also more emotionally sensitive but of cos thats a another story altogether

one hit wonders
was watching channel v ard 5am+ many days ago... and they actually had a special program dedicated to one hit wonders... one hit wonders were actually defined as "artistes/bands who only have one hit that made it to the top 40 chart... and subsequent singles either nvr had the same success as their previous hit... or they just fade away"
examples? well one which i miss hearing for a while was "what's up" by the 4 non-blondes... remember hearing it when i was in sec sch.. didnt really like it then.. but its many year absence.. it was fondly missed.. another classic was "no rain" by blind melon...
i was trying to come up with a theory... that "the best songs are songs which came from one hit wonders"... but i soon realised that that wasnt necessarily true... for every one hit wonder hit u like.. u prob can come up with another fav which has been from a band enjoying success for years or even decades...
just compare vanilla ice with enimem.. white rappers.. but 2 very different success stories...
so anyway... this is just a small tribute to the one hit wonders who had songs which had short lived success in the music industry...
