The weekend visit and partying gave a fresh breath to all the negativity.
The brooding is still there but seeing the bright smiling faces around me definitely lifted my mood.
So... People think bryan is the party boy. Every weekend hitting the clubs etc.
Hate to burst your bubble peeps. you obviously do not know me well at all.
Sorry, I treasure my liver and it so helps that i hate the taste of alcohol. Albeit Baileys. Now thats what i call sweet tasting alcohol.
Yes pictures say it all on facebook don't they?
Pictures are from the max 2 clubbing outings I have in a month.
I dont do a very good job of convincing people right?
Do I need to?
Justin Jap farewell
Justin Jap has flown off to the US to settle some stuff for the new semester which starts Jan 3 for him. He will be back in December before flying off again.
Decided to grab him early or else when he is back, that is when the whole world will want a piece of him. Considering my school stuff is sucha bitch, earlier definitely is better
kenny with justin
Rey's no comments obviously do not work. PUH LEASE.
The club was slightly boring so instead we were at the side entertaining ourselves. haha. Real entertainment. Thanks to the people who did. It was truly educational.lol
1 2 3.... 180 degrees. Britney's tunes are just so addictive. heck the innuendos.
Kyan's 19++++ birthday
Happy Birthday Kyan!
Glad that my birthday venue became yours as well. One of the best places ever in my opinion.
With Kyan
With Xuefang
With Matt
The cake... er... i think if jeanette sees this, she will scream.lol
my slice. errrr.
matt giving what xf calls the sultry look.BWAHAHA. The tv screen showing that thriller looks like a ghost at the window lah
The little kid engrossed with my DS.ha
Halloween clubbing
Yes, I went as myself. Though if you are sharp enough, the little things are quite obvious as to who I 'dressed up' as. haha. *High pitched wailing*
Subtlety... subtlety.
Who was also a bitch. Like come on 'girl', you already sound like that, please dont really prove that in your actions., you are obviously not that thick around the bum. If not for a friend, I would have so socked u there and then.. I am very sure your bullimic figure will not need any bruises.
And if it is not apparent enough,
I. DON'T. LIKE. YOU.
Since the first time you parked your ugly persona next to me
*O that felt so good*
All in the spirit of halloween people! Only I just decide to lambast you while doing this entry.
Thanks charles. enjoyed myself loads
With edric. Just one of the many i cannot recognise under all tht make up.. Gosh
with andre
with wei and aaron. They won best group costume!
with jason and jeric
with henry and jerry
Proof: Charles does eat fastfood. Which makes us all feel even more like chopped liver if he still looks like that after all that food!
'Photoshoot' for Team Synergy
We needed to take a few pics for the conference coming up.
I am slightly burned out by school and its times like this which brings my spirits back up.
So loving priss's new cam. This function automatically erases loads of flaws. lol.. saves lots of time in photoshop.haha
The movie 'My Sister's Keeper' in my opinion, best movie of the year. Hands down. (I rarely write about movies as there is so much material out there!)
Direction: Amazing. The storyboard kept going back and forth but it did not seem confusing but instead wanted the audience to know more.
Acting: Abigail Breslin portrayed the Anna so well!
Other movies might have the loud bangs and bright lights but this one touched the hearts of everyone deeply. You could actually hear the sniffling in the theatres.
I am happy that they did not follow the book because I might not have been able to take it. No I take that back...
I would not have been able to take it at all.
I would have just gone depressed if I saw what happened in the book, portrayed on screen. And the same questions I had when I first read the book, coming back to haunt me.
*Those who want to know the book's ending can go read it. I rather you read than wiki it.*
I was still wondering whether I should post this, but you know what?
I should.
--------------------------------------
Love that extends beyond all measure or understanding.
But why didn't I/could not cry?
The floodgates were ready to open anytime. And the pangs of seeing the hurt of a family torn asunder by so much pain were real and drumming against my emotions.
I have the answer: Fear.
Fear of the most basic human emotion.
Tears which many can turn on when something touches them.
Tears which show we are made of flesh and not the steely apparations everyone sees.
I am too scared. I do not want to start and not stop.
I hate to feel and see the tears flowing down my face, pouring, flowing...
You all must be wondering, why does Bryan stand by this product so much? Is it because he is very close to Charles Ng the person behind this all? Or is he getting paid for this?
The answer is: Yes I am close to Charles but that does not warrant me to post on something which I deem not effective.
And no I am not getting paid for this.
The best reason I can give you is. BECAUSE IT AMAZINGLY WORKS!
I was one of the lucky few to be given a sample when it was launched.
PERFECT TIMING! I could test this product!Had a humungous zit which I had just squeezed a few hours ago and now there was a huge dark pigmentation mark on my right cheekbone.
I applied it every night even though it said twice a day as I wanted to see just how effective it was. The dark pigmentation lightened considerably after 2 weeks!!!
Friends who saw it were goggle-eyed and said for a pigmentation mark that big, it will take months!
*And that is when the dosage was halved! Imagine if I had used it day and night?
My complexion also became smoother that even my triathlon training mates noticed!
I AM IN LOVE WITH CLEARIFY!
The sample had lasted me 5 weeks! After squeezing the last drops of the sample I was given, I was caught up with school that I never found the time to order my very own 'Clearify'.
Bryan is a happy boy because he knows his skin is in good hands with Clearify!
Well, all that is different now as in the mail came my very own, newly purchased 'Clearify' by Skin Basique.
Clearify also comes with clear instructions on application and uses environmentally friendly materials for their packaging.
$65. Which i think is reasonable. So many 'good' skin care products are so much more expensive but not half as effective.
Why? Because Charles uses the highest grade of ingredients possible and all natural!
Not only are they of the highest grade? He did not stinch on how much is put inside.
Commercial products might say they have the same ingredients but I dare say not many have that high a percentage compared to Clearify,
Thus, making Clearify more effective that those you see on the counters
Orders are sent directly to your home and there are 3 modes of payment
1)DBS/POSB Fund Transfer
2)DBS/POSB Internet Funds Transfer
3)PayPal Credit Card Payments
You can be assured that the product works. However, for those with highly sensitive skin, test a little on a tiny part of your face to see whether there is any negative reactions.
A tiny known fact why I endorse Charles's new product? He was the one who cured me of my acne. Those who saw me during pubescent years know that my acne was out of control and it seem nothing would work after a few months!
After seeing hundreds with many worse conditions then mine, Charles has seen most of it
Through Charles's products, I was cured and never had huge breakouts ever again. Even under extreme stress! BEAT THAT!
Peeps with oily, bumpy, blemished and pimply skin? Take the first step and experience the results yourselves!
My dear rey held his birthday recently and it was a blast! had so much fun!
His birthday was 13 October while the party was held on 17 October.
Most of the pictures and videos can be found on Rey's blog, knock yourself out!
And my outfit was so damn scandalous! haha.. was a few inches too short so everyone saw my ck underwear.LOL! Someone even said I was trying to steal the spotlight from him. hahaha
as you can see why. I totally did nt expect to show tht much cleavage.lol
Looked shagged out alrdy so the earlier pics look better. but this is the only pic of myself! HAHA.. Looking at it now, i din look tht bad lah! HAHA
Thanks to everyone who turned up and made his birthday a blast!
If i did not drag him out for his birthday, he wud have spent it in sch or nua-ing at home. WHICH IS A MAJOR NO-NO!
It doesnt matter if u r turning 25 or 35, something special must be done!
Brought him for dinner at 'The Wine Company', at evans road. Recommended by adrian.
The food was good but what blew us away was the dessert! I was expecting to pay like 80 and above for dinner but it only came out to be 50 plus..
the birthday boy
our food. yumps!
Happy Birthday!
Presenting our favourite dish. the lava cake.. nothing special from here rite?lol
ooooooooo! it tasted heavenly i tell u!

The dinner rocked
Interesting fountain sculpture
My presents to rey
I have been searching for this particular carebear for more than a year alrdy!
Everytime i saw a mini toons or action city or some figurine store, would go inand dig for it. Can you believe that out of the whole collection, this was the only one which they failed to bring in?
finally found it at a store in plaza sing. AND IT WAS THE LAST ONE!
Happy Birthday once again! and thanks for being there for my highs and lows...Would have burst a long time ago if you were not the 'peneseive' around for me to unload..
*refer to harry potter what is peneseive*
Busy busy week for me. And the weather choose to shine and shower at totally the wrong times. I WANT MY R&R to be able to go on for the next 6 weeks!
Sorry I havent been blogging for sucha long time... school and personal life has been realy busy..
Life at school is definitely back into full swing... Actually chiong-ed an essay till the early hours of the morning. But i think there is something wrong with me.
Why do i say i feel weird?
BECAUSE FROM START TO END, I DID NOT PANIC OR FREAK OUT!
All there was a certain numbness! emptiness... NOTHING!
Told a few friends and here are a few replies:
Friend 1:(Ever the positive one) u knw what to expect of such assignments so u dun find any kick!
Friend 2: U have reached ZEN! (-_-III)
Friend 3: Why o why are u not panicking! Im wetting my pants lah!
I guess i prefer this feeling but it is quite worrying. Like totally on anaesthesia
And when i was done, i was like 'O....? Im done?' *faints!* so nonchalent! What happened!!

Local reality singing contest shock exit? I think not.
Twitter and facebook are excellent channels of information which lets me get the feel of whats happening locally and around the world. *Ris low credit card fraud anyone?*
2 of the websites i am constantly on nowadays
However, seeing more also means you get to see stuff u might rather not see or want to hear for there is nothing beneficial!
Without twitter or facebook, i would not be hearing people complaining sooooo much about how a certain contestant was booted off a local reality singing contest last night..
Lets be real here (gosh, so simon) bad and disappointing performance, *click* you are out. It does not matter if you are known to have a huge amount of talent prior if you screw up the performance to the public.
Whats worse, our beloved judges totally did not harp on these aspects.. haiz haiz haiz...
Try impressing him. So far at the idol shows, those tht have shocked him are fantasia, carrieunderwoord leonalewis and susan boyle. lol
There have been bigger travesties when jeassea from the first season of the show got voted off in the first week. and even when her performance was so good... Imagine the howls of protests throughout Singapore when that happened. Even my mum called me to deliver the news!
Sorry, bad performance, out you go.
Of course, we must be sympathetic here, because we know tht there are some who screwed up even worse but got in thru because tween fans going gaga... and nt in a neorotic avant garde sort of way but the cutesey way when you see zac efron seeing his heart out on the HSM series. that type of gaga..
VS
All I am saying is, shock should be reserved for good performances and not being appreciated by being sent home.
'Pity' should be the word used when a talented person was sent home because of a disappointing performance.
End of story.

Tommorrow is justin jap's first top 13 performance. cant wait to watch it though as usual i am worried abt the song choice. He is gng to sing kris allen's version of heartless. well all we can hope for is the best!
Heres a short snippet of what to expect for the show tmr
And here are a few clips i found floating around cyber space. haha
(floating in front of yur face more likely due to facebook.lol)

Lets make it happen again! Wow us again with your vocals!
You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep Cuz they fill the open air And leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude, but I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cuz everything is never as it seems
Cuz I get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they try to teach me how to dance A foxtrot above my head A sock hop beneath my bed A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)
I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack (Please take me away from here) Cuz I feel like such an insomniac (Please take me away from here) Why do I tire of counting sheep? (Please take me away from here) When I'm far to tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell) But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre Cuz I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
YAY!! Justin is in the top 12! well, technically, top 13 now..heh Watching the reactions by the judges, I really am confused by their comments and decisions. when dick was asked what he feels about justin gng into the top 12, he said ' we the judges pick talent... ..... ....' and so forth...
But there is one very impt part missing. Didnt u choose justin to be part of the top 24 because you think he has talent?...i mean. come on...
Well, now theres no excuse he doesnt have enuf coverage. The coming weeks will be filled with them!
And no apologies for lambasting your twitter, facebook and phones with messages for me to vote for him..LOL.. i have unlimited sms anyway. lol. singtel really does provide.. haha
Credits to Hisham
Top 12 dude! further then u realise! Show ken tht u really want this! and no more doubts of being there anymore!!

_________________________________
Recently, the Sunday Times wrote an article defending and giving sympathy towards Ris Low, ms spore world 2009. I wun be uploading the video here as I think many of you have seen it.
After reading the article, I could not stomach it and decided to write an email to the sunday times. Doubt it will be published so here is what i wrote.
Dear editor,
Your article on Miss Singapore World 2009, Ris Low is the weakest the newspaper has come up with since I started reading the Sunday Times in my primary school days. Many points put forward can hardly be justified!
Bad English means bad English. There is no going around it. I could not believe my eyes when even head honchos like the chairman of the Speak Good English campaign can defend her and the video.
There is a difference, no matter how subtle, between Singlish and her spoken English. Singlish is where Singaporeans mish mash different languages, typical of the races in Singapore in both structure and grammer. Our dear Ris Low here has instead tried to sound more "westernised", albeit to a terrible effect. A perfect example can be seen from Mdm Juanita Melson who was the voice many Singaporeans hear when traveling on our MRT trains and stations for many years. "We are Singaporeans and we do not need an accent!"
Following comments from the events director of ERM World Marketing, I am aghast to hear that the Miss World contest is a beauty contest where beauty is most important. I am sure many people are with me when I say that such contests consist of so many more things than just beauty. Contestants answers and thought pattern are equally important during the Q&A sessions which ultimately decides the winner. One of the sponsors, Mr Kelvin Koh, gave reasons like "youth" and "lack of experience" in public speaking. I think this is ridiculous and a very weak reason for the catastrophe we have seen from the video. Youth and lack of experience do not account towards speaking well. You can be jittery due to the lack of experience in public speaking, but that should not hinder the proper use of the language. I also think that the teacher who mentioned that she is a representative of our language abilities is outrageous! It is not mentioned which school she is teaching at but most Singaporeans do speak well when an effort is made! I feel a personal disappointment and a big insult to those teaching when a teacher with a defeatist attitude gives such "hope" to those students around her.
In all, I have always seen the Straits Times and Sunday Times as one of the many tools used to upkeep and improve the standard of English besides keeping Singaporeans informed about world and local events. Good language is something that the newspaper stand for. Publishing a sympathy piece on the issue for Ris Low IS NOT GOING TO WORK!
Best Regards Bryan Wong
Well, the semester is looking up...Just keep settling my work the way i always do and i shd be fine...
I will have another 1 week break in a week's time. ha.. will find time to club abit before 10 weeks of pure mind boggling school work! hee
Before i leave, heres extra footage from the new moon movie coming out in nov! Cant wait!
Promo time peeps! - Justin Jap for Singapore idol 2009
Time for some promotion.. hahaha.. dun worry, i doubt i will go into what vtay does. This is strictly for the love of friends and the passion for writing...
I dun get enuf hits on this blog anyway.Which is fine by me! Haha... maybe the idea of someone whom u dun knw at all, reading yur blog still disturbs me... but o well..
There wun be pictures of me this time. This entry is solely dedicated to a friend. And i am gng to be thick skinned and say: 'I may not appear in any pictures but this entry is nonethless still able to entertain!!'
Lets bring up one of Singapore idol 2009, in my opinion, one of the strongest contestants. my friend...
Justin Jap!!
Remember i posted up the video of this 'friend' in the top 24 of this year's singapore idol? well, I can finally reveal it!!
Considering that many say that this season. there are many strong female contenders, it is reassuring to know that the guys have it in my friend justin. Yeah, some may say this is a biased entry.
Well, it cant be tht biased when the clips prove themselves.
Song he sang for the auditions where he queued in the hot sun. Im sure u guys remember the trailer where we went 'down by the seeeaaaa yeah'.. hahahaha
This was the video which made me believe tht justin had a talent in music!
Impressed? haha
I have watched all the male contestants of the top 24 and I am sure many of u will agree with me. go to http://idol.mediacorptv.sg/recaps.htm and find justin jap's performance which got him into the top 24
Compare the other male contestants and in terms vocally, I am sure justin will definitely impress.
It is a tad heartening tht the first 4 episodes of idol, he had accumulated only 20 secs of screen time...
The roadshow for group 2 will be on at lot 1 mall.. Yes its freaking far! Here are his 3 choices:
My personal favourite is his rendition of 'broken strings' by james morrison and nelly furtado. However, any other song choices, just give a shout out ya!
Lets hope tht he wun be voted out because no one knows him. Hear the voice ppl, then decide!
I agree tht there r some contestants who are better in the looks department. But giving a heartfelt performance, and bringing a fresh spritz of personality, justin blows the competition away!
_____________________________________________
Remember to catch Justin's performance on Singapore idol, September 9, 8 pm on Channel 5!
