Talking Cock with Matt Damon

Ok about the blogthings... alot of things there about me i have to disagree... I am definitely weirder than 40% weird come on man... Eh Joanna tell them please... And not 40% girl lor... Maybe 30% la. i must admit i am rather in touch with my sensitive side nowadays. I disagree with Yogi Nakayama, cos it just doesn't sound right. Me = yogi? i dont think so. I disagree with Free Range Ponys. Hello Free Range Ponys? I feel more like a Kentucky F***ed Chicken. I don't think i'm a fantasy lover as well... Doesn't quite sound like me.

I do like MasterFlyDynamite though. Though i would prefer to be associated with Auusssshhhtin Paowwerssshh. Toit loik a toiger. Ronaldo Peixe... So-so. I'm sure i died in childbirth. Lazy is right. Dancer is dubious. Nahele Meka. Maybe. Lol shining wizard, damn right my weakness is tummy rubs!! *Winkz at Meiyin--Best tummy rubber in the world* Shape shifter... Yeah.

So i was about to blog when i got home today but then server was down, so i milled around blogthings. Then played smash a little. Then went out for dinner to meet Grace Soumi and Yihan. Well guess what happened. They were at the corner of 12th St and 5th Ave cos they heard that Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie were filiming there. So i bought myself a blue9burger and went in search of them. Oh yeah NYC is starting to get cold, i love my windstopper so much.

Sure enough, there were huge trailers lining the sides of the small street, so i walked on and on until i saw Yihan and Cliff, shivering in the cold. Looking at old studebakers or whatever cars those were, we kinda figured they should be filming there. Sensing that there was a crowd outside the largest trailer (DUH) we went there in wait of Mr Damon. Grace and Soumi were packing books to bring to Soumi's cos her roomie was getting laid, and thats when the trailer door opened, when they were far far away. Nice group of young fellas (mostly girls) waiting outside the trailer, but there was a fair share of guys too. I guess for me Cliff and Yihan it was rather a "ooh theres a star lets go see" kinda thing, cos its not everyday u get to see Hollywood actors right? Sadly heard that Angelina Jolie had wrapped shooting, some fellas saw Brad and Angelina shopping somewhere. And then we were just waiting and then the trailer door opened.

Cheh, Crew members only la... but they kept going in and out. Then finally one went in and said "We're ready" and they pushed the crowd back. So... We called Grace but they were still on the way back, and then the door opened.



Screams screams shouts. Well its was rather amusing to see so many people rushing forward to try to shake his hand, whilst me yihan and cliff were holding our camera and fones to try to catch paparazzi-esque shots. So i got one. Then again it might have made more sense to shake his hand or something cos u can get pictures from anywhere. But, naturally Grace and Soumi bu4 gan1 yuen4 la so we waited in the cold for more time.


(waiting for him to come out)
im putting this on for authenticity


(thats the set)

And then after waiting, (he was filming in the building) whilst everyone waited at the front door, he slipped out throught the front entrance, whilst some of us caught his back profile. DAMN! so we went off toward his trailer and waited outside. Until he came out again. This time the cameras were ready. I took a picture right at the door, then ran to the back of the line so i could possibly get a handshake and make all his fans jealous.




There we go. In full view. I got a handshake and asked him how're u doing (so silly right), Soumi got to tell him : " You're so hot!" and he gave her a 'LOOK'. Haha and she was on cloud 9 after that.

So much for talking with him... But couldn't u tell that i was gonna talk cock?
Talking cock with Matt Damon (as the subject). Lol.

I am a peon

Work work work work work work work!
I am a peon i work all day i work all night.
today is brenen's birthday
but my day so far damn sway

2 fire drills in the morning
thrown out in the blistering wind.
everybody nonstop cursing
a brave soul wrapped in a towel waiting to go back in.

a pencil case blown away by my temper.
an essay coccooned in my brain
gone is the new $80 calculator
and spanish could drive me insane

i need 28 hours a day
to get by without going crazy
brenen rarely sleeps past 12
my average time is around 3

i miss the hugs and kisses from home
i miss the reliability of singapore fones
i miss the food the faces the places
i miss everything except the hazes.

so ends my lousy poem
that i am writing alone
to shed the city gloom
to think warm thoughts of home.

Work, Work

12:49am
This is my first blog entry where I blog from Word and save it to post because I don’t have internet access. I’m in the study room at the basement of the building live in, Third Ave North Residences. Oh by the way u can see where I live by going to Google maps, and clicking on satellite images. Kinda cool really, but scary too, the extent of the zoom u can check out. So why am I on this entry? Well I’ve just completed Middle Eastern readings on Islam as well as a one page response. Damn I thought I finished a lot of work until I just realized that I’ve only tackled one subject. Well one at a time I suppose.

Work left
18 Econs stats questions
6 Pages of Spanish homework including a diary entry in Spanish
2 Essays, one of which is writing a letter and the other a 6 page essay with no theme (make ur own, based on past assignments)

Well it’s a good thing that the 2 essays and the stats questions are not due on Monday. The essays are due on Tuesday, the questions in October. I’ll take some time but I gotta be sure I do it by this weekend.

Speaking of weekend, I’ll be doing something exciting. I won’t say anything till I’ve done it, hopefully with pictures to accompany the post. Had a show and tell today at the coffeehouse below my building, with free ice-cream sponsored by my Resident Assistant (RA). Well actually sponsored by the Residential Hall Council. So Nick (from 12th floor) played drums, Andrew (12th) played keyboard and sang this song empty hole. Brenen played the harmonica (well he IS from Kentucky). I did the airborne routine… Which was pretty silly, but got the undivided attention of everyone. Not too bad, considering I thought I needed confidence before presenting that Gunther dance to whoever, and so now I only need to work on the eye contact. I do hope writing class helps me accomplish that too cos when I talk, I tend to rush a little and then my face flushes red hot (for some reason I know not). And not too bad considering I haven’t forgotten the drills. So if we go to war and I get recalled at least I remember what I’ve learnt. Isn’t that weird?! I’m from Holland!

Ok lets see if I can get more work done. Sighz no me gusta hablo y estudio español.

Gunther

Yesterday i caught a performance by Claire Yeo at the Juilliard School in New York. Prodigious. As i listened to her play and watched her tiny fingers dance across the 150,000 dollar piano, i thought to myself "I've just realised that i've wasted 21 years of my life. I'll bet however that its not easy being labelled a prodigy. Kinda weird considering u're just 13 and people all over keep pointing their fingers at you when u're at a restaurant and whispering dark shady secrets. Or people that stop by and ask for your autograph. Thats not a normal childhood i say, having to go to school in the day, music school after that, and practice 3 hours after that, besides balancing normal school work. That sucks if u ask me, but it really is admirable.

So whos Gunther? Some swede that rocked the charts with his hit single, The Ding Dong Song (you touch my tra la la) And its really funny, cos you figure that when u've got enough shots down, you will wanna dance to the beat of the song cos it's not bad (Except that the thought of him will just make u wanna stop dancing cos its so funny.) And the sleaze in it helps too. And its one of those songs that stick in your head, so... I was singing it every now and then. Like spontaneously say "Ooooh... You touch my tra la la... Mmmmm My ding ding dong..." And i came up with actions for that. (when i figure out how to post video clips i'll put it online) And then Grace suggested that that was the kind of thing that Hodge would like.. Like make that next year's mass dance or something like that. So I began to think about refining the actions and stuff. Of course, i couldnt get past the first 10 seconds without breaking out in laughter. So. I must admit i was inspired by Napoleon Dynamite (see the trailer), and thought hey if he could dance so could i. Haha its like Goldmember too... That kinda freaky dicky dutch bastard can dance... So, whatever. Its stuck for now because i've got work to do.

Oh by the way Napoleon dynamite is considered by many to be an American gem of a movie, but i didn't think it was good la. Probably American culture that punishes losers and laughs at them. If u like watching losers do their thing, watch the movie. If you don't think the first 20 minutes is worth your time, don't bother to finish the movie.












Kinfoong the happy llama .................... to Sleazy Gunther Powers!

And i've got so much work to do its amazing. Catch up soon, thanks for the posts. Keep posting please!

Kinfoong

P.S Zhangyi was right i do look like a llama.

Sian

That's a foto taken of me outside Elmer Bobst Library in NYC. Huge library but i haven't been inside yet. Had to post it so that i could link it into my blogger profile. Stupid siah, this kinda thing i also dunno how to do. Anyway....

So i finished my 28 pages of Spanish lab and 4 pages of Spanish workbook assigned on monday, and studied for the test today. Quite evil if u ask me. But the test was ok. And now i've got an essay to do before i go to bed. I hate writing class. Its 2 times a week and one essay as homework after every lesson. I think i'm losing steam... Disappointed with my own results. Even though the teacher always writes "good" at the end of the piece. I keep feeling that my standard is not good enough. Like compared to all the zai zai essays in the GP bulletin and model essays and stuff. My shit is nowhere.

Just feeling kinda out of sorts now. Even though everything is great and life couldn't be much more exciting at the moment, I just feel this feeling of dread creeping over me. Like i don't want to do anything anymore. Not dota, not smash brothers, not chat, not anything. I thot maybe i could blog it out of my chest but its not quite working. Its like that same feeling I get every September. Maybe school related, but everytime the end of the year draws near my mood tends to become very subdued and measured. Not quite the silly old me. I dare say that the first month here has been great cos i found the old happy silly me for awhile... (Thankz dudes in NY) and that was good.

Maybe i could attribute this horrible mood to the topic of my essays. We were supposed to find a picture to talk about. So i chose "the Scream" by Edvard Munch. First we had to write a descriptive essay. Then we had to create some connection between ourselves and the picture. And then in another way. And then link some text to the ideas in the last few essays. And now im supposed to write a letter to a sympathetic friend and tell him/her what im planning to do and how im feeling. And then i will have to piece everything together for a prizewinning essay! Doesn't help my mood much, considering thats more writing done than GP in sch, and that upon investigating the scream and related topics, i started delving into death, depression and terror, helplessness etc. And that's not the healthiest thing to be talking about for weeks. But i must say Dickinson and Plath got my respect.

Soz

I was ready to watch Goodfellas with my homies using me laptop. We bought a S-video cable so we could plug it into the tv instead of having to watch from my 15-inch screen. And guess what. For some reason or other my cd drive has become corrupted. Something wrong with the driver it says. And the problem is that its a plug and play driver. Which means the drivers for that arent on the internet. So how am i gonna fix that shit? looks like essay tonight and repair shop tomorrow. I gotta check out my warranty status too. So much for Goodfellas.

I cooked pasta today. Folks said it was quite nice so was feeling pleased. But after that just didn't feel right and so... My day's gone downhill from then.

Ok checking to see if Bren won. It's past 12 now. He's gone to check it out. I feel bad. I'm supposed to be his campaign commando but somehow i can't feel our paths crossing in the right way. I haven't done much at all and for that i feel shitty. Esp knowing i might have made the difference (if he doesn't win). Then again i hope he does win. Then he won't be sleepin so early all the time. Oh 2 nights ago i slept before he did (for the first time ever).

So i'm still generally feeling out of sorts. So i visit the love actually website, and just peep around. Too few pictures of Keira Knightley i must say, but then it just brought me back into the movie and all the situations. I took the quiz and guess what? I was "A HOPELESS ROMANTIC". Exactly what i thought i was back in sec2. 7 long years have passed and yet some things don't change.

Oh its kinda late. Time to force myself to work. To infinity and beyond!
And keira is such a babe.

And i wish i could walk the beach every day.

Sadly,
mine.

Late nights and hot eyes

DAmn its 3:32 am now and im not even done with homework. Still got readings to plow through. Anyway yeah i started working late and so i pay for my lack of discipline. I can speak a few sentences in spanish, but even that thats not going to be enough for the test on wednesday. Pretty gay if you ask me, having a test after 2 weeks of class that includes listening comprehension. Even chinese wasn't that bad... And i've got a short essay to write in Spanish before i go to bed. About 100 words. I don't think i know 100 spanish words. Lets see how i get by this shit.



Keira Knightley is so freaking hot!! I'm glad Maheep thinks so too, cos i do respect his opinions on such matters. Haha the best part is even without the boobs, she's still so damn hot. Doesn't that make her... So... Wow. Yep can't wait for her new movie to come on screen, Domino. Just heard that the real person she's acting, Domino Harvey, just died this week. Eerie. But she's still so damn hot.



Absolutely gorgeous ain't she? I tried to call huishan minutes ago but she was occupied. So i'll spend some time talking about my number 2. Heh.

Busyness

Just some images in my life that not everyone has seen... Thats me on my comissioning day. 030404. It rained out so i was commissioned not on the parade square but in the canteen. We were the first batch/only batch ever to experience such poor luck, because other batches had their parades carry on in the rain, and their parents and girlfriends and buddies ran into the rain with them.

I've been busy, that's why not blogging much. Once again, poor time management has crept up and is threatening to do me in again. I can't let this happen to me again. On thursday i said i would finish my work by friday so that i could enjoy the weekend. On friday i said i still have Saturday. Its sunday evening and i havent touched my work without falling asleep. = NOT GOOD. Im not letting my parents pay money for my education only to squander this opportunity that i should learn to cherish more. I'm really grateful for this chance, even though i dreaded coming so much, because i'm learning something everyday and my mind is being challenged everyday (unlike in the army). And so, i will push myself to be more disciplined.

Speaking of discipline, I haven't visited the gym in a week. And from that i learn more about myself. I don't like doing things alone... I feel very connected to the people around me, and i'm glad they enjoy my company. However i gotta start learning to do things for myself again. I watched Dermott Mulroney on "the wedding date" last night and... woah this guy is pretty amazing. And guess what? Some friends saw him at times square this afternoon. Damn. He's handsome enough for me to want to take a picture with him too... Let the girls swoon over the picture haha (even if its not me).

Speaking of Celebrity spottings, people spotted by friends or friend's friends:
Dermott Mulroney
Mike Myers
Matt Damon
David Duchovny's sister
Richard Gere
One of the Olsen Twins
Marat Safin

I think there must be more but i don't pay that much attention to these things. Marat Safin was right in front of me but i didn't recognise him. Grace and Soumi were shrieking quietly and looking at him "is it him is it him?!??! yes its him yes its him! Safin!! ahjhhhasdhahhhhh!??!?!" and then he went into a cab. Wasted camera opp if u ask me. And i would have preferred to come across Sharapova. Duh.

So back to business. i mean busyness. Yup so i've got the week's homework on my shoulders, do be completed tonight. Thank god my class is late, at 1100, so i have some morning time, but then i do have a spanish test coming up on wednesday. 2 weeks of one language and i have a listening test. The spanish teachers are sadist if u ask me. Looks like it might hurt my GPA.

My econs statistics is going well. Still can remember vaguely P(Z) and the normal graph. But over here they solve probs with a superb graphic calculator. It costs 80 USD but it shortens the time needed to solve these normal problems by about 8 to 10 times. Just press [Normalcdf(w,x,y,z) where w is lower limit, x is upper limit, y is mean, and z is standard deviation, and u get the percentage. Brilliant huh. And theres an [invNorm] function as well. Screw the table and P(Z). But i do feel empowered knowing the basis of the function.

I won't join the biathlon team yet. I think i'll join beginner swimming first since they learn freestyle here first. And i can't freestyle more than 50M. So. Of course i think they could trans me to intermediate if they think im good enough. But lets take it easy first. Then we'll see how it goes.

Oh and btw Lidome thanks for my present in 2001, remember the playboy t-shirt? that day i wore it to school, 5 people (4 girls and a guy) said "nice shirt!" and that made my day. Yup missed u guys and kailing's birthday. Thanks for the watch im wearing it everyday, to meiyin and sang thanks for the book, i'm hardly sweating here =). Reading abit each day, soon i'm not going to sweat anymore. Ok its time i started work. Thanks guys for posting on my tag. It means alot to me if u guys post even if i haven't updated. Love you all.



To the mountains, anyone?

ok will write more. am trying to cook beef beehoon soup tonight. lets see how it goes.

kinfoong

some more fotos

That's angelo here my last suitmate. He was having a bad week, but he's a real charmer. Glad to see him around more nowadays, he was absent for half a week.



And this is the remains of the food from the restaurant nearby. Meat cakes and salsa...



And lastly the crayon wall project started by brenan my roommate. its growing nicely. send him a drawing too?




ok thats all for now.

2nd day of school

Just got this foto from Melvyn my DS. Recently got his MSN... and these fotos from thailand training. Miss those days.

And this is my living room :


There's Emilee Maheep Sara and Mattie in my living room. Maheep's my suit mate, and the 3 girls are from the room down the hallway on the same floor. They visit pretty often.. For boggle or cards or gamecube... Its the community living that makes the money u spend in a dorm worth it. The pictures on the wall are actually crayon drawings. Cos our walls were so dull and we couldn't paint them, so brenen got the idea of sending out crayons and construction paper to everyone in the building to contribue a picture to our crayon collage. And so it grows. I added some pictures to it recently but its not up.

My other suitmate is Angelo. My mistake, i thought he was hispanic from his name, but hey what do i know. He's of italian descent and loves the Goodfellas. I haven't got his picture yet it'll be up sometime.

First day of school and got notice of a TEST for mid eastern cultures happening next week. After that, wrote an essay in class and received another essay for homework. Bollocks man.

Second day of school and i attend my first ever Spanish class. I think it's gonna be a nightmare. Y tu mama tambien. Just kidding =) I did want to take jap but then it was squeezed full, so i took spanish instead. Considering that Spanish is one of the 5 most commonly/widely spoken languages in the world, and i already know english and chinese... Maybe next jap and then hindi. My friend Grace (RJ junior) can speak Korean Japanese Chinese Hokkien English. Like cunning East Asian linguist man. I gotta be more like Shiming the master debater. (ref. Goldmember) So i spent this morning going to chinatown with auntie cheng, got a mini tour of chinatown. Its a heck lot larger than the san fran one, and more smelly. When i went again after Spanish to get stuff for cooking i got misoriented and couldn't quite remember where the malaysian supermarket was. I need to get my hands on that mai fun. But i got earphones from the dollar store, as well as a strainer, chopsticks, doorstops, and 64 crayons + construction paper. Must ask auntie cheng again.

Then i spent the rest of the day trying to figure out spanish cos the work is due tomorrow, and the teacher is not going to conduct the lesson in english. I do hope that she would conduct it in Chinese then, or else its gonna be a huge waste of time for me. I stood there trying to figure out what she was saying today, and by the time i figured the first sentence the class was over. So much for Beginner Spanish 1. I'm gonna do it... I hope. What will the third day bring?!

I'll bet its more homework.

New York New York!

Hey EVERYBODY! Heh i see my webcounter running and i feel happy haha but not much time to blog... So many things happening here i haven't even called home much. But hey doens't mean i dont think of u guys or miss you guys at all. I really appreciate things much more now... Simple things, complicated things. Theres alot to be thankful about...

Thank everyone who sent me off... I really appreciate it... I'm sorry didnt have that much time to talk and stuff... And forgot to take photos... But i still love u guys and am missing all of you. Will take more pictures of NY and show u guys when i get back. I really appreciate it... Including those who would have made it if not for school. =)

I thought alot about what i was leaving behind when i got onto that plane. I thought about my life, my family, my friends, my girl... my expectations, my dreams, my aspirations... And i hoped that i wasnt making a wrong choice leaving all that i love. Even if just for 3-4 years. I don't regret that one bit though. NYC is really a place of ideals, even for the poor, everybody gets a chance to dream big. Dreams as big as the city, dreams that inspire even the most simple person.

I feel liberated by the city that never sleeps. It just feels so different... So fresh and new. Its like breathing fresh air after holding your breath for an hour... There's so much to look forward to and so much to see, so much to learn and so much to be. Knowing new people and languages and cultures and stuff. Oh and i got back into chess, cos i can't dota (lousy periodically laggy connection). Its time i got up from never realising my potential in academics. I think almost every report card i've had since primary 3 had "Kin Foong is capable of better results". So i do hope to aim high this time... Try to get into the dean's list. Be a leader in what i believe in. Start a chess club if i have to. Be a man. Do the right thing. (lol)

Hey here's a picture of my room mate. His name is Brennen Blair, and i think he's damn cool even though he supports Bush. Ok i'm not quite sure Kerry should hold office either but... He's a really sociable and nice guy.



And a picture from my aunt's apartment at 6am



And a picture from Coney Island, with some peeps i've been hanging out with



So its the 5th today as i write this part 2 now... but its the 6th in singapore! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY Daddy-o hope u're eating nice cake and stuff...

Yup lost train. I think i'll start a new post

Miss you guys in Singapore

And myself looking significantly happier than when i left
