Well, I guess the image tells it all already. I sincerely apologise for this unsightly image but I think it could possibly sum up 2007 nicely.
Just like the image, time is always short this year. Rush here, rush there. It's just plain craziness. Lots of things done, lots undone. Favourite movie? Possibly Secret, StarDust or Pirates. Erm kinda random but it's almost 2am already, so pardon me. Yes, another excellent example of no time. I doubt I can find time to complete this last post of the year tomorrow before 12am, so got to force myself to keep away and finish this.
Anyway that's all for now. -.- Lame yes yes but tomorrow's post will be new year resolutions. Probably all the same for all JC2s in Singapore. HAHA! Perhaps I'll be back to update more on this if I have the inspiration. =)

iSHOP, therefore, iAM.
NO MAN IS AN ISLAND- Human beings do not thrive when isolated from others.
This Christmas hasn't exactly been rather eventful for me. Just boring usual stuff et cetera, you know. The only think that struck me was this whole mindless consumerism going on and on.
Let's bring up Darren's party for a start. Initially, the plan was to buy a gift for this gift exchange thingy. Last year, we had a Christmas party at Leanne's house if I didn't remember wrongly and we had this gift exchange thing going on too. I mean there's nothing bad about having a little fun and this surprise suspense kinda feeling for this festive season, but I found out that all the gifts that were passed around were... just mindless stuff.
Maybe I am just being a little sceptical here but with all these global warming and stuff, we really should think twice about buying somethings- 1. Whether your present will improve the life of the reciever. + 2. Whether your present harms the environment.
Alrights, maybe I am crapping but I believe there's some sense in this crap still. So people, next Christmas remember to buy something useful for your friends, and not buy stuff for the sake for buying. Furthermore, all this consumerism thing is almost defeating the purpose of Christmas. Yes, its about joy of giving but not too extreme please.
By the way, I'd like an iPhone. So, anyone wanna give me something, PLEASE, for the environment and Mother Earth, I say again- PLEASE, just give me an iPhone. =)

Sad Confessions.
Walking down the hallway of an old hotel and eavesdropping on sad confessions...
"Our clothes are scattered on the floor. We could not have done it more randomly. Once the pretence that we might not sleep together had evaporated, everything else followed with the grace of a runaway train. If she brought her own condoms, I was too much of a gentleman to let her offer them. But when I reached for my own, it suddenly occurred to me that the ease and system of it might appear a little too slick and too practiced."
Too slick. Too practiced.
Scattered clothes + Sad confessions.

Velocity NYP
Bad competition. VERY VERY bad. Honestly everything from the start was dam screwed. I only went cos I was rotting at home + Andrew's persuasion.
Screwness of all screwness, they really got screwed big time few minutes into the competition. This guy fell from the 2nd wall and hit the back of his head when he fell. I knew something bad would happen sooner or later. The crash mats were freaking high jumper mats which are like bouncy and NOT for climbing kind- People could easily sprain their ankle when they fall on such soft mats. Plus they are slippery AND small. So the guy just happily fell from around 4-5 metres backwards and hit his head. Saw the entire thing happened which was quite saddening. He hit his head, rolled his eyes and was like instantly in a daze and unconscious. Wished I could have done more to help but it seems pretty serious.
Ridiculous. Climb to a height of 5-6 metres with a crash mat that's covering 1 metres? -.- The committee is impossible man.
Anyways it just made me realise how fragile life was. The guy could have easily got paralysed or even died just to make that move. We always have to put safety as top priority and not do anything stupid. Rock climbing IS dangerous indeed- When proper safety procedures are NOT taken into considerations. Even Haroz had to like do stuff for them like cordon off the climbing areas.
Hope that guy is doing fine.
Quiting rockclimbing tomorrow. Life is far too precious to play with.
YAH RIGHT -.- HAHAHAHAHA
