In a very few short hours time, Mr Brandon "Random" Ong will be Recruit Ong. I will be entering army later today and this could possibly be my last post for a long time. As mention I don't think many people read my blog but I'm grateful to those who did.
The blog has kinda been my travelog or a diary and ya despite sleepless night scratching heads on completing entries, it's been fun.
Last couple of days met up with my poly buddies and friends. Great to have known them all and great to know there is always them beside you. So many people to thanks and pictures to put up but no time no time.. hah.. haven change handphone! haha..
So yup.. take care everybody and see ya when i come back! Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too!
Perhaps its cause I had so much fun over the past few days, I woke up today dreading that its 3 days left till my army enlistment. Blah! Today’s post will be pretty lengthly as I combine stuff I had over the past few days. Events are from latest till oldest.
This weekend was so soo.. much better then the previous one. Firstly it was packed with activities and most importantly I had fun! Yay!
ZoukOut 2007 23,000 people attended ZoukOut this year and it was simply fantastic! With world-class Djs such as Armin Van Buuren (World No1 Dj) and Carl Cox (Godfather of UK Techno) hitting the decks at the main arena. Its was really the best clubbing experience I had ever.
Enjoy myself most at the Mambo Jambo Section of ZoukOut. It was so cool la!! My uncle and aunty were also enjoying themselves with the hits of the 80s. After Mambo Jambo ended, we walked around a bit before heading back to the hotel. They had a room at the Siloso Resort, really nice place right next to the beach (and ZoukOut/CafeDelMar) and the rooms were really big.
I then went back in again to soak up more of the music at the festival.

Really happy too as the trip to Sentosa and ZoukOut actually, I cleared 3 to-dos on my 10 Things to do before NS. Namely: to visit sentosa, to go clubbing and to try out something exciting. Read this post for more info.
The day started out okay, slept till the late morning and basically just got ready myself for the day upcoming. Went to Joyce 21st bdae party at her house in the afternoon, Happy Birthday again to you! so sorry I couldn't stay till you cut your cake. I had to rush off for a performance at tampines. Was involved in a youth dance item, we were doing "We're All In This Together" for AMK Zone Friendship Meeting.
Friday 7 Dec
Organised a steamboat session for my ndp07 mates, will attandance wasn't really good as many of them had things on and couldn't make it. Either way the 6 of us (weitong,mingkiat,kailiang,zoey,angela&me) had fun la.. I could have eaten more actually ha..
Those who missed my item check out the video below.
For those who didn't know, i was also inside this year's NDP 07 'There's no place I rather be'mtv. Haha.. try spotting the purple shirt me at the end of the scene. I also performed 'Will You' during SP National Day Observation Ceremony.
Thursday 6 Dec
1 week before army! Arranged to down with jesmine and tyng feng to bugis area to eat and chill out. We first ate at cafe le caire which serves really good middle eastern and arabic food. My third time there already lol.. Nasir introduce this nice place the last time when we went for section outing.
jesmine-fish kebabs, tyng feng-rice with sharwama, me-beef steak wrap
After dinner we head over from arab street to bali lane(which is just next to each other) to Blu Jaz Bar & Cafe. Really nice place with very eccentric furnitures. The music in the Blu Jaz was also really nice, and both level has completely different mood to it. A definate must go if you like Jazz or Chill out Pubs. From what I know, there's live jazz music on the weekend..
Tuesday 4 Dec
I Baked Cookies!
Haha.. chocolate chip and double chocolate. It turn out pretty well except that they were pretty soft after coming out of the oven and mum had to baked them again.
I maybe dreading army now but hmm.. I guess I am more or less ready already, until then.. I'm gonna enjoy myself! ha.. its been a very long post and I kinda also think no one knows about the blog as well.. if you read all the way here goodonya! Thanks in advance also if you enjoy it.
You'd know that your weekend was going to be bad when you had to work early the whole day on a bright sunny saturday morning. To top that on you see shitty people and hear unnecessary comments from them that really shows how shallow the world is.
Saturday 1 Dec Had to be down at the National Museum of Singapore to set up booth for ARC, its was for Creative24 an event organised by the CreativeCommunitySG. Its basically an 24 hours event where the various comunnity projects of CCS get to show their works and network. Despite the buzz it created, the event was not very successful. Most of the visitors to the museum didn't had an idea what was going on. It was so bad that VA had to cancel our songwriting workshop as no one turn up. Despite my efforts to pull people to the event no one seem interested, the organiser weren't the least helpful as well.
Our last performance was also to an empty crowd.. oh remember what i said about unnecessary comments? Well I had mine delivered loudly over the Sound System in the middle of a performance, "Brandon! You Suck!!" Miss? I know you are pretty good with the mic and your from NgeeAnn Mass Com but.. aint you just rude. You see, there was absolutely no one there and my event was up next. And in a bid to try and catch some attention, I went on stage to make an announcement. She obviously knew she could do it better but simply watch me made a fool of myself before snatching the mic back to herself. After which she made the statement during a very painful rendition of L.O.V.E.
After the day I was left wondering, why din I say yes to the 4 day IT Show job at Expo which wouldn't put me thru these much hard work and humiliation. Lucky for doreen who stayed back and help me carry everything to the taxi.
Sunday 2 Dec Blured from the series of events the day before, I just couldn't function properly. My family had to repeat everything they said to me twice and I was a big road hazard in the car. My PSP dropped, and I scream at my little cousin for it, I scream at myself for not taking care of it.. zzz It was my Second Last Sunday before army and I was stucked at home. Could have gone to the last day of Sitex to buy mp3 or memory, could have also gone to Takashimaya to see if she was there but no.. i was at home.
The weekend was really the worst I had in a long time.. : Lets hope the week ahead gets better!
Note This: I'm here to stay in the music, arts and entertainment scene, be sure that what ever future gigs or events I am involved I will do my best and not give it to undeserving people.
