JamesChang. A person when laughs, will sound as if a million hens clucking in joy for laying eggs. A person that is also at times unpredictable and random. On occasions can be so dull that you might catch a cold, yet could be so wild that you might end up with a fever. So stay tuned, and prepare for a rollercoaster ride. Cause life is full of ups and downs.

Cameraman - Jeff
By the looks of the photos you can deduce out that I am insanely bored waiting in the car for others to arrive..regretted that I arrived so early. Anyhow.. Jeff arrived earlier.. and still got him to accompany me :D
Then later in the evening .. had an almost private karaoke session with KokLun and MeiYee...thx to the Enrollment Day organizers tht permitted us to use their 'Mini Karaoke Set'.
Mini Karaoke

Later at night went back to see my Scout Juniors making their final preparation for their competition tomoro. Had to say.. they really gone all out this time.. sacrificing their holidays, trips, fun .. all for a common purpose.. to Achieve A Reasonable Result. Its been 6 years(if i remembered correctly) since my troop participated in a competition.. and this will be the break from the bondage.. A new start.. All the best to them.
Hardcore practice and drilling
Of all ages and minds, gathered at the same moment, with a common goal and reason

Also, manage to read "New Moon" the other day. Thanks PuiYeeng for lending me the book. Started reading it and was quite mesmerized by it.. its like watching the movie again .. lol and I am clearly picturing it as I reading it through. Manage to keep up the momentum till page 55 where my eyes started to scream.. yeah .. so thats as far as I can go..
500++ pages..lucky i dint vowed to fin this book

P/s: Over taxing my body.. I think I really need some rest.
P/s/s: Recently been experiencing sudden mood swings as well.. probably due to tiredness

Ordinary, but amazing

Feel like sharing this song(its on my music player,lyrics below). Been listening this song over and over again to cool of my thoughts from all the hustle and bustle that my mind are experiencing lately. In a dilemma now. I may not show but my thoughts are running wild with fire and its like I am fighting within inside me. My conscious&common sense against my desires... Ohhh what misery..and .. one side is overpowering the other.. without much of a fight.
OrdinaryPeople - John Legend
Verse1

Girl im in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love

It seems like we argue everyday
Bridge
I know i misbehaved

And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow
Chorus
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

Verse2
This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll

It gets more confusing everyday

Sometimes it's heaven sent

Then we head back to hell again
We kiss then we make up on the way
Bridge2
I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances

We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay
Verse3
Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave, maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
We never know baby youuuu and I
Fantastic lyrics with simple piano sound as the backdrop with a lil inconsistent rhyming having that calm beautiful yet melancholic bittersweet feeling.. personal opinion :P
Went down to KamparKtar yesterday night for a joint event with the college's music club. It was a trial run for the real-deal which is held during Christmas 8pm-10pm. Pictures followed.
Kampar, a silent sleepy town :P

New Moon

Went to watch New Moon yesterday with afew childhood friends. Well, gotta say.. It is understandable New Moon is not every person's cup of tea but it certainly do appeal to me :P . Anyhow, was abit bogged down at the New Moon's climax.. where the actions and excitements are abit consistent throughout the show.. making some people feel bored and it came down with an abrupt ending ..leaving many question marks. Probably it is a marketing strategy to urge the masses to go read the book O.O . As for that, I might really go read the book... well it all depends .. me and thick books arent really good friends >.< .


Then went to visit my Juniors preparation for their competition. Well, finally after 6 years my Troup has decided to wake up from the slumber and go take on the world!! All the best to all them!! :) Ohh also toyed with one of their props XD
TA-DA!!! BIG FISTS!!!

3 weeks to go before I enter into a new year. Thus another chapter is gonna close whilst a new one starts. Still, gonna start finish up all the goals I set up for myself. I have much to do. Oh.. and Christmas is coming people .. feeling christmassy yet?
Jason's puppet

Not forsaking as well , I am already off my safety zone.. Less than a year till IT comes. This time around I vow that I will be well prepared.

~Coming Soon~

Putting my dreams aside, I am striving after goals
It's time that I am being driven by motivation
Instead of inconsistent passions
I will wait till my dreams turn into something I could believe in.


P/s/: Been ranting craps alot lately cause holidays gave me time and space to think.. = =|| rest assured everything will be normal in time.

Usst-ians day

Okay, so my whole day for Wednesday is spent with UssT-ians. :)
went Jusco K-box with them and Sing/Scream/Jump/Dance/Make weird moves/Make voice never thought existed/Group Scream/E-mail Dance/Getting lost while 'trying' to get back to the room frm toilet, almost la/Loosing my voice then laugh at the person beside me cause its the same thing/More Screaming/Singing a 10minutes song/Sing Cantonese song too :P

Pictures followed. took very few and its not of decent quality because I was only equipped with my K800i with vry limited memory.
NaiMa and Yi Ling
(He sang songSSSS to her okay :P)
After that went for Steambot. Really was a Fantastic day today :)
and, time flies when ur enjoying it, this is proven true.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dipping my head into cold water,
Its time I wake up
Its time I realize
Its time for me to be sober.

That I have real goals to achieve
Instead of mindless dreams
That I should be Motivated
Instead of being Passionate

In truth,
I favored dreams above goals
I excel at being passionate
than motivated

Pulling the plug,
Shutting it down once and for all
Or momentarily?
Can I? Could I? Should I?

Will the 3rd time be the charm?
Yet I've sworn, 3rd will be my last.
Whats left of me is too little to be consumed over again
Yet I have so much to go after.

Still, The crossroads
that once forced me, is around the corner
Fear, Doubt, Disbelief
Its hard to choose between the two

The clock strike12
The alarm ranged mercilessly
Showing time is moving on
And my time is to limited for decision making


I never had a dream come true,
As it is too far and wide to reached
It will be utter insanity
If I would embark, to achieve it.


Yet, voices told me to go all out
yet, conscious urged me to pursue
Yet, common sense depicts crash and burn
I Don't want to live through hell all over again

Indecisive,
fighting for a lost cause is nvr easy
turning the tide requires divine intervention
A dilemma indeed? Or is it a decision made?

Pangkor Prt.2

To be honest. I don't know where to start my ranting of the Usst camp. Well, let's start from the very top. It was a hot Friday afternoon where I was officially involved by this 10 words."James, You incharge of food la, since you are Scout" My instant reaction? is exactly like the guy on the right below this pic
Yeah, I am a scout.. but I have vry little or almost no experience at all of what I am going to venture in. To me, it is really uncharted waters. And should I say that I am really lucky to have such a great team...ahahahaha. Seriously they helped out alot.. ALOT!! Thx for pulling your weight people and to one or two, many thx for over pulling it.. ;)
Cooking Team

Still remember the 1st day of the camp where we have to carry 79236472672374283TONS of equipments from Ipoh to Pangkor.. its really back breaking labour. And I was utterly worn out with the driving around in Ipoh to buy some remaining stuffs for the camp a couple of days before camp.. so I practically slept as soon as I sat on the bus.

Then, after reaching and settling our stuff, it came to treasure hunt. I was shocked that the campers manage to pass by it so quickly. Moving on, we then had cooking competition. This was one of the highlights of this camp. Looking at them cooking sure is fun. Some have no experience at all..and I still remember one team when they are cooking their soup.. they stuff in all their ingredients even before the water is boiled!! Still, some teams are indeed creative and manage to even dish out a curry chicken...which is one of my favorite dish...xD

Then, at midnight I had my night watch duty. I was woke up at 4am.. and in zombie mode, drooling, I patrolled the school compound with 3 people. I remembered vry little as my body is moving , but my mind is practically shut downed. Little did I know, others have so many encounters with the 'Kawan' . Well, probably we were to blur to realize anything going on.. lol.

Later at dawn, even before we see the sunlight, we started to make sandwiches for the campers. Working in the dark we have to rely on torch lights, thanks alot for helping out people, or at least keep us from being bored :D . Another memorable experience indeed.. LOL. Then, later on is our the Event of the day, Amazing Race. Not much to be said for the event as I am only incharge of 1 station.. which is also related to food =_____________= .

Well, 3 days 2 nights.. to be honest, I felt its too short. I remember waking up the next day after coming back from camp and i felt awkward cause somehow I miss this camp. I've just briefly say a few things about this camp.. cause there is too much to be written down. For more stories, visit TerWei, Xinyi, Catherine's blog. Afew pictures followed, Others is on FB.
