You are Form 0, Phoenix: The Eternal.
"And The Phoenix's cycle had reached
zenith, so he consumed himself in fire. He
emerged from his own ashes, to be forever
immortal."
Some examples of the Phoenix Form are Quetzalcoatl
(Aztec), Shiva (Indian), and Ra-Atum
(Egyptian).
The Phoenix is associated with the concept of life,
the number 0, and the element of fire.
His sign is the eclipsed sun.
As a member of Form 0, you are a determined
individual. You tend to keep your sense of
optomism, even through tough times and have a
positive outlook on most situations. You have
a way of looking at going through life as a
journey that you can constantly learn from.
Phoenixes are the best friends to have because
they cheer people up easily.
Which Mythological Form Are You?

Alright.. im gonna get that Dream theater cd. By hook or by crook. (no not by stealing..although it sounds good.. nah jk.. =P) Six degrees of inner turbulance. 40 bucks. So that means if i save 2 bucks a day.. i can get it in 20 days! Math good eh?
nothing much to say lately.. just waiting for holidays to come. training has gotten tougher. But i cant say yet... cos im still coughing and sniffling.
'the threat of execution is greater than the execution of threat'
-some quote from POD

Lagi best. Leon Leon... you are so deprived. :P haha.. so desperate to watch that movie troy. You almost managed to convice me to go sia..
ok lets see. Today Leon, Seb, Elliot, Kenneth and me went for sort of like a x-country outing. So long havent gone out with you guys. So.. we went to Cine. But that silly seb was stoning at home and made us wait for him. Bah. So we sat outside cine (along those metal railings) Yep. 4 acsi guys sitting there. Stoning. Talking about muds. Talking about where to go next. Wanted to watch Troy... but tix sold out so we settled with Van Helsing instead. NOt bad. Entertaining. Noisy. Very noisy. And all the girls in the cinema were screaming whenever some monster popped out. (which unfortunately happened to be every 5 secs) After that we went to some food centre to eat dinner. I kept pestering leon to pay me the money he owes me until hes quite pissed now i think =p.
Then leon kept insisting that we have a movie marathon and watch another movie. Kenneth and seb so spoilt sport. They left. :( Leaving elliot, abdullah and me. It was around 8 already. Too bad plaza sing ran out of tix for troy too. Determined as ever... the poor leon decided to walk back to lido to watch TROY. But i didnt. THey are probably watching now, costhe movie started at 8.45.. provided that even got tickets. 3 hours. Hmmm... 12 midnight? yea.

Dream theater
The Glass Prison
[I. REFLECTION]
Cunning, Baffling, Powerful
Been beaten to a pulp
Vigorous, Irresistable
Sick and tired and laid low
Dominating, Invincible
Black-out, loss of control
Overwhelming, Unquenchable
I'm powerless, have to let go
I can't escape it
It leaves me frail and worn
Can no longer take it
Senses tattered and torn
Hopeless surrender
Obsession's got me beat
Losing the will to live
Admitting complete defeat
Fatal Descent
Spinning around
I've gone too far
To turn back round
Desperate attempt
Stop the progression
At any length
Lift this obsession
Crawling to my glass prison
A place where no one knows
My secret lonely world begins
So much safer here
A place where I can go
To forget about my daily sins
Life here in my glass prison
A place I once called home
Fall in nocturnal bliss again
Chasing a long lost friend
I no longer can control
Just waiting for this hopelessness to end
[II. RESTORATION]
Run - fast from the wreckage of the past
A shattered glass prison wall behind me
Fight - past walking through the ashes
A distant oasis before me
Cry - desperate crawling on my knees
Begging God to please stop the insanity
Help me - I'm trying to believe
Stop wallowing in my own self pity
"We've been waiting for you my friend
The writing's been on the wall
All it takes is a little faith
You know you're the same as us all"
Help me - I can't break out this prison all alone
Save me - I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
Heal me - I can't restore my sanity alone
Enter the door
Desperate
Fighting no more
Help me restore
To my sanity
At this temple of hope
I need to learn
Teach me how
Sorrow to burn
Help me return
To humanity
I'll be fearless and thorough
To enter this temple of hope
Believe
Transcend the pain
Living the life
Humility
Opened my eyes
This new odyssey
Of rigorous honesty
Serenity
I never knew
Soundness of mind
Helped me to find
Courage to change
All the things that I can
"We'll help you perform this miracle
But you must set your past free
You dug the hole, but you can't bury your sole
Open your mind and you'll see"
Help me - I can't break out this prison all alone
Save me - I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
Heal me - I can't restore my sanity alone
[III. REVELATION]
Way off in the distance I saw a door
I tried to open
I tried forcing with all of my will and still
The door wouldn't open
[replaced with "but" in this line]
Unable to trust in my faith
I turned and walked away
I looked around, felt a chill in the air
Took my will and turned it over
The glass prison which once held me is now gone
["now" is not heard in this line]
A long lost fortress
Armed only with liberty
And the key of my willingness
Fell down on my knees and prayed
"Thy will be done"
I turned around, saw a light shining through
The door was wide open

WHat is this world coming to? Life has gotten pretty interesting for me these past few days.. hmmm. OK. heres the weird part. I just got onto the bus home today.. and at the clementi interchange bus stop... 3 girls from.. i dunno what school. boarded. I looked at them and then just continued playing puzzle bubble. They chat and chat in mandarin and english.. ( yea you know what im talking about.. mostly chinese) Then one of them says 'hey' about twice. i turned. She asks me for my handphone number. I was like... what the fuk? Is this a dream? Never have i encountered such a loud girl before... certainly not asking for my number in the bus!! so.. i just played along. I said no.
Thoughts of this afternoons PC talk on sex were running through my mind. Mr Chirnside was talking about how to handle relationships.. etc.. wait.. we are not at that the correct age yet. Is this a weird conicidence or what? So.. anyway.. i said no. Then they asked my whether they were scaring me. I said no. I was just totally freaked out. Not scared. So they continued chatting among themselves. Then she asks me again.. 'what school am i in' in chinese. I smiled to be polite and said 'acsi'. Immediately they reacted as if i had said some super wise words or something. I shrugged and asked 'what?' THey said 'soo good!' Then another one asks for my age. I said sec 3. Again they burst out excitedly chatting among themselves. Then she asks me for my handphone number again. I shook my head. She said dont bluff i can see ur handphone. I replied saying that wasnt a handphone. Obviously she didnt believe.
So.. in the end. I smiled at them again. And pressed the bell cos it was my stop. I said 'bye' and waved at them. They said 'bye' and waved back. So i got off. Totally stunned by what just happened. Maybe i should have said more stuff. i dunno. But certainly it was an interesting experience. Very.

A day of firsts. Today was great man. Totally. I learnt to play my first tune on the guitar which sounded pretty decent =D, well... not all that decent since 'stairway to heaven' is satanic and all that. ha.. my first song on the guitar.. a satanic one whoopsies. Went to Marcus' house today with Marcus and Marcus. Since we dont have mid years =P
IT WAS DAMN FUN!! First he taught me how to play the guitar.. and now im addicted to it. Then Marcus lim came after he went home to change up first(two of them live very close). That was when all the mayhem began. Total madness. That part will remain confidential. iM still shaking from the trauma of it all. We wrecked Marcus' house =p Threw chairs around.. Slammed the drums... etc etc.
Totally awesome man.
