two years

fatbro and me are two years apart. considering we travel the similar education journey, except the schools we go to, we encounter each stage of life so far on a gap of two years.

today, he POP from Tekong and i was there to celebrate the moment as well. i have been through that two years ago. i have been through BMT two years ago. i felt how he felt on the Marina Bay floating platform two years ago. nonetheless, those weren't the main point.

my main point is.. two years. man, two damn years.

somehow or rather it felt so surreal. i am not sure if this feeling signals the fact that i'm old or time flies be it you are enjoying it all the time or not. i could not believe i was the one who POP two years ago. main reasoning being so much things and events happened between the time i POP two years ago to today. let's see.. had a failed relationship, had a shin splint injury for two long months, two surgeries to rid my wisdom teeth, getting my Class 3 driving license, meeting awesome people from 39 SCE of Seletar Camp, struggling to get a space in a local university.. and the list goes on and on and on and on until the sun stops to burn.

yeah, i just really can't bring myself to believe that two years gone by just like that. wonder if this feeling is a good or bad feeling.

these days

i looked through my past blog posts yesterday and i realised that i have been talking about many specific things for many posts now. have not really update you all abut what's happening in my daily post-NS pre-NUS life. well, so here i am updating you all.

probably mentioned before, i am looking forward to tomorrow's Monday morning for one reason.. season 4 of "Game Of Thrones" will be available online. been waiting for an odd one year or so for this show to come back on. really can't wait for it. this is actually like an English version of "San Guo Yan Yi" just with more lust and gore i guess.

next, i have a new student couple of weeks back with the worst result i've seen so far among the ones i teach. don't get me wrong, i am just really worried for him and really really want to put in my best to push those marks up for his PSLE in September this year. he has a lot of basic concepts and knowledge missed out.. so it feels like i have to teach those stuff from P1 to P6 in like half a year. glad for the patience i have and the love to help. minor self-praise there.

regarding NUS life, i have been rejected by a scholarship program but still crossing my fingers on some application. as for hostel, i have yet to read up and decide exactly where should i choose to live. NUS is 90 minutes of public transport journey from my doorstep.. with taxi maybe 40 minutes. still, too long.. i really want to stay in the hostel there.. at least the trip to my school building is just about 15-20 minutes.

alright.. that's all for now.. i'm a football fan of Arsenal and Real Madrid. and now an Arsenal match is one the way.. haha.

talk shows

it all started from secondary school i would say. i was introduced to a stand-up comedian who i known as Russell Peters. well some of you might have heard of or know him. he is well-known for his ever racist and sexist jokes. pretty loud and daring comedian too.. not for those innocent minds who cannot take sick jokes. if you need an image of him, here he is..

then i moved on to hunt for real good stand-up comedian. i followed Ray William Johnson on YouTube and from there i found another one who is known as Fluffy.. or his real name, Gabriel Iglesias. he prefer fat jokes and is really good at changing his voice to imitate anyone he has in mind. his jokes aren't sick but still as good and as funny. here is his chubby figure..

so two main stand-up comedians that i really follow and like since secondary school and then somehow in on way or another, i moved on to see and get interested into talk shows. now, through YouTube, i am entertained almost on a daily basis by Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Ellen. the next three pictures are of them in the same order.

soon i realised, on top of getting entertained, i too get to know what's happening around the world in a more fun way. okay, yes news from the internet let me know too but through talk shows like these, they are different. you get to see what are the various views and parodies and jokes made from the news and what not. another bonus would be occasionally viewing your idols, be they are singers or what not, on the shows just talking.. random talking to the hosts. so yeah, can be really interesting.

these talk shows are what bring me through the mundane weekday routines of my real life from army to now and in the future. if you have yet to watch a stand-up comedy or an entertainment talk show, i suggest you should try. really mood lightening.
