Love is an attitude, love is a prayer,
For a soul in sorrow, a heart in despair;
Love is good will for the gain of another,
Love suffers long with the fault of a brother

Random quotes from random people
Sorry nicole I didn't meant to plagerise your copyrighted ideology. Please don't sue me!!!!
Well, after reading our friend Joshua's entry I guess it also came to me to question the existance of my blog. Are they really for my thoughts? but that'll characterise this blog into a blog merely utilised for idle chatter and self-indulgence, I would be better off writing in a diary or journal instead. So? for the noble idea of intellectual discussion and rationalisation of today's society? Man you're talking to someone who hardly reads the news paper.
So, what's my stand? I guess my blog should be for the pleasure of everyone, for the writer me and the readers too. *smiles* Well, if you're happy then I'm happy too...it brings great joy bringing joy to others. Think I should do some voulnteering social work during the holidays. So here you go, some wacky quotes I dug up.

Interesting Characters of TJC
Actually wanted the title to read interesting characters in my life but I guessed it was kinda too much for one entry, even with this current title I find it quite overwhelming to detail everyone down cos everyone's unique and interesting in their own ways. So please excuse me if I miss out a name or two, its not easy being me..ok.. *walks off in a bimbotic strut*
Oh ya before anything else happen, just to let everyone know that I'd be enlisted aka doomsday on the 13th of April, friday (Oh bummer...just my luck, if you still don't know, go figure). So yea bring along those pom poms and a cheerleading team to pasir ris interchange at 8am to send me off to my funeral (touch your head). Thanks guys you all are the best.
In no order of merit or favor, even though some attain more favor than others , I present to you the participants:
- Amanda: Oh yes, 1st one to come to mind, partly because we just finished chatting when I wrote this. My fellow xiao mei-in-christ..Yea while I'm the da jie, kinda tired playing female roles..Well the determination to write this entry came from her, to prove that blog isn't 'self-indulgence' nor 'idle chatter'. See..i'm dedicating this entry to all the interesting characters of TJC *grin*
- Joshua Chow: The legendary Aizen taicho, this man is a man of mystery, of wits and of great intelligence. Legends has it that his intellect rivals that of the demi-god Zhong Shan the unstoppable. It takes skills to unencrypt the complexity of his mind. But beneath the coolio hairstyle and funky glasses is an avid soccer fan who can crap with you like there's no tomorrow. Favorite line: " tio owned"
- Amelia Chia: TJ's very own basketball captain, and one of the nicest friend I have. Something unique about her is her very intriguing voice. Last year, her high pitched squeals of joy never fail to wake me up during morning meeting and her bubbly, jovial character warm the hearts of people around her. Well this year she's been having soar throats lately, in the morning we're now greeted with a manly 'hello'.
- Amelia Tan: No, not the sister of the basketball captain even though some nutcase would mistaken that fact. One thing unique about her is her smile; well her smile isn't really a 1000 megawatt smile but a smile that makes all other smiles shortcircuit. One word, captivating. I still remember the times we used to exchange glances as we pass by each other, you'd get one of the friendliest smile you'd ever get that is both comforting yet enegetic. Her speech too, lingers an aussie accent.
- Aisyha: Ah yes...the secrets vault where everyone's deepest darkest secrets lie within. Really don't know why but apparently everyone tells our dear Aisyha their secret love life, crushes and all. So if you wanna find out who your secret admirer is just simply buy her coffee and wait for her to slip her tongue.
- Nicole: No guys, I know you were hoping it was Nicole kidman but no, this Nicole here is my poking /zapping your waist buddy or "our moms are just great cooks" club founder. Anyway this dumpling here is a great friend and a very unique individual; she possesses the gift of encouragement, one of the gift bestowed upon by the holy spirit which is usually often neglected or overlooked but impacts mightily. It prevented me from entering depression that is.
- Alvin: Oh boy, I have utter mixed feelings for this guy. Sometimes, he's quite a joy to talk to as he can crap and crap and crap and talk about games and stuff which are VERY enjoyable. But other times I just feel like strangling him because he's so blunt and hits it where it hurts. Oh bummer. Still praying for you.
- Dawn(not the basketball capt guy): Don't let her disabilities fool you dudes, this girl pacts a punch! Besides ranking amongst the tops in my friendly people list, she's one of the truest friend one would ever have. I can even sense her sincerity through msn. A real joy to talk to, she's just so humble and easy going, we could talk just about anything under the sun. Watch out for her sense of humor, its uniquely dawn.
- Amorn: Ah yes, why would I forget about amorn? TJ's resident zoo keeper with his funky giraffe backpack (I swear those spots made me thought it was a cow). An avid fan of animes and nude drawings, amorn never fails to surprise you by doing some things out of the ordinary, like sleeping under a tree in the marquee or coming to school with multicoloured dyed hair with one patch of colour everywhere. Sometimes one wonder if he had lost his mind but his fervent arguments proved otherwise.
- Benjamin: Benji!! or like I'd call him, ben ben!! haha..benjamin's your typical not so average china man, not because he's an ultra conservative person but his chinese is like the best; you'd consider it twice then if u see him in his casual clothes, punk hairstyle, jeans, shirt over T-shirt double and choker. Woah man he could pass off as a breakdancer dude. Man check out his cool moves. Whazzzuuuupppp!!!
- Victor aka crocofly: My fellow gaming kakee, the one that have dragged me into the bottomless pit of gaming. Man game addiction stinks. Nevertheless, he's one heck of a character. The impression I get of him is, fearless. He knows no weakness nor Achilles heel, the brave soul who scales mountains and shoot you down on battlefield 1942. Yet he's a man of mystery and secrets.
- Timothy Tan: Ironically, one of the longest friend I ever had though I might add not one of the closest. This chap and I had been in the same school for a whooping 12 years. Musically gifted is insufficient to describe him. The most happy-go-lucky character I've ever met and he just takes things as it comes. No wonder he's such a hit among the female admirers. Thanks to his small built, he's one of the most agile guy in TJC.
- Joseph Tay: Well you all have guessed it, my cousin aka Darth jojo or simply mojo jojo. The living legend who possess the courage to challenge the physics teachers to believe that F=P/A. Genius. He and I had a history that dates way back, back to the time where the two of us utterly enjoyed and never grew tired of the game 'bomberman 3', to present date where we share the same school. Cousins forever.
- Priya: Don't be fooled by her gorgeously big eyes or her long naturally curled locks of hair, she's a mexican red chilli pepper in disguise. Insult her and you'll never hear the end of it, her determination to trample you flat onto the floor till you have zero dignity left is so great it's inhuman. Nevertheless, she's a princess, a loud one I might add; if she doesn't get her way, you're in trouble...big time, if she does gets her way, you'd be in trouble anyway. That's priya twari for you.
- Gabriel Choong: This guy's really interesting. Science Council's primers vice-pres and 'the king', however, he always fail to mention and sets us wondering, "king to where?" One thing about gabriel is that he possesses an accent that is literally out of this world, a combination of australian american english and singlish, the result..is potent. All in all gabriel gives to all an impression of sophistication.. Nooooo...it must be the accent.
- Miss Tiew: I hear sniggerings, and I take it we all agree man, that miss tiew is like The Interesting character of tjc. Never before have I seen someone who could change her mood in a blink of an eye (from dead serious to goofy like) and also have this very 'jaw dropping' sense of humor. And who'd ever forget TOGA(temasek outrageous group activities). Remember we played 'catching'? Turned out to be more like fishing afterwards.
Of course, there are many more interesting characters in tj whom i'd like to share about but due to the lack of time, brain power, space and not to mention boredom factor, my quest thus ends here.
And the winner of tonight's Most interesting character of TJC is.....*drum roll*
ME because blogging is nothing more than "idle chatter" and "self indulgence"
Goodnight
