Time flies really really fast

One month has passed. GOSH. Thats fast. Everything seems to be alright. Except for a few problems with my 'friend'. I can't be bothered giving him another chance. It's just how he is. I doubt he's gonna change. Well, he's got a horrible attitude, really pessimistic. Disgustingly, outrageously, bad breath. He complains and complains..... it's always @#&* you and $@%& me and whatever else. Anywayyyy..... I had flag day today and it was totally fun. It's so cool just interacting for a reason with strangers. If i didn't have the tin can, there would be little interaction. Kinda funny to think the only thing preventing me from talking to tourists or whoever is a tin can. mmmmmmmmmmmm. And yesss, my music stuff is definitely not in a standstill. I'm in the church worship team for vocals now which is really cool. School music stuff is moving fast too. I'm playing the acoustic, electric and singing now. Good good good exposure. Thinking of picking up the piano very soon. It's a wonderful instrument. I can play the piano by ear so thats a start. O levels in 8 months! Wheee..splat.

2010! NO WAY!

It is 2010. I don't believe ittt! The year passed by so fast. And years past by faster and faster! Oh dear and before I know it, I'd be a grandfather :O So, for 2010 I have O levels, O levels and O levels. Hmph...... 2009 has been an awesome year. Yes, there has been some blood and tears, but more fun and laughter. I will make 2010 the best year of my entire life. 2009 was very, very, very good to me. I just thought I'd share some life guidelines I follow. These things will continue to guide me with whatever comes at me in 2010. 1. Events mean opportunities. 2. No matter how bad something may seem, there is always a good side to it. 3. Sometimes to win, you have to flee. 4. Be true to yourself, that way you can trust and rely on yourself. 5. All bad things that happen lead to a big good thing.

Boo

Boo me. 3 months of posting nothing. Sorry guys. Forgot I had this blog haha. Exams were good. November was plain boring. All I did was sleep, play around with instruments, a bit of xbox and recording. I've been slowly writing songs. It's not exactly a fast process. After awhile you lose your creativity and need to just relax and wait for the inspiration come back to you. I make sure I write songs from the heart. Stuff people can relate to and think oh yeah that's true. Oh and my lung is all good now. No diving for the rest of my life or my lung will go kaboom/splat. Yeah like it literally could blow up. That sounds so cool yet scary. Hmph. So December arrives. It's going to be a gonna a good month. Family and Love is what I need now.

I was supposed to go to melbourne but uhhh I stayed and studied. Yes I studied. One good big month of happiness and then next year begins with O LEVELS. Say whutttt! Oh boy. Well anyway, I have a new guitar. It's so so so so gooood. It costs 1600 bucks. Yeap, thats a hell lot of cash. I like sharing songs. I have 7454 songs as of today. Don't ask me how I got it. I also attained a Macbook. My dad bought it but never used it. Sooooo, good for me then.

Spontaneous. Thats what the doctor said about my Pneumothorax. So first of all, what the heck is Pneumothorax??? Well i'm not gonna fill this entire post about what this is. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumothorax to find out. And I've got this weird Heimlich Chest Drain Valve in me. Thing is, how did all this happen? Let me start from the beginning. It was the 7th of August, last Friday. The band guys and I were preparing for the NDP concert. It was 6.30am. I was just sitting down messing around with the instruments. Shortly after that, I felt somethin wrong, I thought it was heartburn so i went downstairs to get a drink. That entire journey to the canteen and back was an agonising 3 minutes. By the time, i got back into the school hall. The chest pain was at it's peak. I sat down in a nearby chair trying my best not to moan and groan in pain. Let me explain how painful it was. 10 being the i'm gonna die kinda pain and 1 being not pain at all. On that scale of one to 10. It was a 8.5. Any worse and i'd be unconscious. Well, i was brought down to the sickbay. There I was on the sickbay chair, with tears running down my face. I thought i had a heart attack or worse. "I'm almost dead." I was breathless and mind over matter thinking just wouldn't do any good. Teachers were crowding around the sickbay. Within 15 minutes the ambulance came. I was brought to CGH. Changi General Hospital. By then the pain had gone to a 7.5. They did checks and x-rays. I was there for a good 6 hours. The doc told me I seemed quite normal. But, she was wrong. She came back after that saying I suffered a Pneumothorax. My lung leaked basically. Air escaped into a cavity, pressing my lungs. So I had to have a small op. I was brought to some room with old people screaming, making weird noises. So before the op started, a good 6 nurses were there. Okay here is the part i have to say was the most pleasent. So while the main doc was cutting me up, putting that pipe thing in my chest. I was making jokes. Every 5 seconds or so, the nurses were laughing. :D That definitely helped me out to get through the day. Oh and I wasn't making jokes because they were drop dead gorgeous or anything like that, so don't go about getting ideas. So after that not much happened. So back to the present. It's my 6th day since it happened. The pain ain't that bad now. But.... a new problemo came about. If that hole in my lung doesn't heal by tomorrow, I'll have surgery. Keyhole surgery. They are gonna put a small probe in my chest and seal this and that. Goodness gracious me. I don't want surgery.

Gosh...It's been a month!

Hey guys! Whoa, it's been awhile since i've wrote anything. Well for the month of july is been pretty sweet. Right after the holidays ended i had one extra week of holidays which was basically meant to be quarantine period. No way was i gonna stay at home for a week doin nothin. So I went out with my cousins. Hahaha. Quarantine, yeah right. So a week after that they left. Back to normal life after that. Immedietly when i went back to school, i realised i had almost 5 concerts to do with my band. DANG. From that moment onwards, i've been real busy. Band stuff is awesome but tiring. I went to the hillsongs united concert just last saturday. It was mega duper sweet. Photos are on my facebook profile. Oh Oh and I found the first major internationally recognised donut shop at the Ion@Orchard. DUNKIN' DONUTS. Well i gotta get back to preparing stuff for concerts. I'll write soon, no one month gaps between posts this time.

Hmmmm

Hey guys!
I'm back from Bali. Nice, sweet place. Awesome resort, nice waves, volcanic beach. It's your perfect tropical paradise. Well i enjoyed it tons. The shopping however was pretty disappointing. Good good food but Indonesian food has lots of nuts annndd i'm allergic to nuts so i had to be extra careful. Oh oh, i have one extra week of school holidays. That's because, the ministry of health set up this policy that any student that arrives in Singapore after the 22nd has to be quarantined for 7 days after he/she lands. Sooooo thats very good for me. My cousins are here for my grandparent's diamond(60 years of marriage) anniversary . It's like a huge family reunion. It all works out for me. One extra week of holidays is just perfect. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

It's halfway gone

Hey fellas,
So far, life has been okay. Like okay okay. On friday, which was about 6 days ago i had my wisdom tooth operation. Well, the dentist injected two shots of anaesthetic into my gums with a sharp pain. So 5 minutes later, i was poking my cheek and feeling nothing. Such a funny feeling hehe. Okay so, i went to the infamous chair and sat down. So the dentist took a drill and bzzztt. Well much more than bzzzt, i don't know how to type the other sounds out. Basically, it was loud and high-pitched. So halfway into the op, when it was supposed to have been ending by then, the drill went sccchhkkk! Okay, i suck at typing sounds. It sounded like it jammed. Then, blood splashed upwards. Don't worry, just little bits of blood. He told me, uh, this looks deeper than we thought, nevermind Jonathan, it'll be out soon. Yeah right. So he drilled and pulled like 9 times before the silly bugger came out. Oh and the anaesthetic wore off when he was stitching the wound up. So let's see why this mishap happened. The stupid x-rays were taken 10 months ago. OF COURSE the tooth would have grown. Sheesshh.
