last monday at about 1.30pm
my cellphone rang
it was my mum
she told me that my uncle got warded into the hospital
initially i thought it was nothing big of a problem
as he has been going in and out of the hospital often
due to his asthma illness

it was different this time round
my mum informed me that he fainted while he was at work
his heart stopped for 30mins before it was revived
but he slipped into a comma

at that instant
my heart drop
a gusty feeling swept across
deep inside i was already grieving

i rushed down to TTSH
only to see my aunts, uncles and cousin there
their faces washed in tears

there in the ICU ward
i see my uncle laying motionless on the bed
tubes and needed running through his body
his life supported by the beeping machines

the doctor informed us that his chances of survival is slim
even if he recovers
probably his body will probably lose its ability to function well
as his brain is severely damaged due to the lack of oxygen

my heart sank further
when that news was revealed
i prayed to God
hoping for a miracle
yet somehow i knew it was his time to go

uncle was the head of our family
a great fighter he was
he has triumph over death one time
he fought hard this time
his will power kept him going
till it was 12.54am

soaked in tears
i bidded our parting words

thank you uncle for being such a great uncle
always there to render your help and assistance
being there for my family and i
when dark storm clouded our sky
i love you uncle
and you'll be dearly missed
thank you again
for the 18 years of wonderful memories
i love you

some people would say..
why give up the forest for a rose

if i were to answer that..
i would say..
the value of the rose is beyond that of the forest
something you cannot comprehend

what is that forest without this rose

was reading yesterday's the newpaper
came across an interesting article that caught my attention
http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/printfriendly/0,4139,109430,00.html

the content of the article was about a fizzy fountain
fizzy fountain..?
what's that you may wonder
here it is

looks like a fountain doesn't it
here's the cache
the fountain you're seeing is actually bottles of exploding cokes

exploding cokes?
yes that's right
you read it
exploding COKE

so a dying question must be bugging your mind now
how do those Coke bottles explode into those geyser
shooting several metres into the air
you might not believe it but..
the chemical formula for this artistic phenomenon is achieve by adding..
Diet Coke + Mentos Sweets

there's a scientific research and study about this
got it from the website itself
so here you go to answer to quench that question of exploding cola

The Reason Behind It
These chemists are saying that the primary cause is physical, not chemical. Their explanation: nucleation sites. If you have a liquid that is supersaturated with gas (like soda, which is pumped full of carbon dioxide), a nucleation site is a place where the gas is able to form bubbles. Nucleation sites can be scratches on a surface or specks of dust – anywhere that you have a high surface area in a very small volume. That's where bubbles can form.Mentos seem to be loaded with nucleation sites. In other words, there are so many microscopic nooks and crannies on the surface of a Mento that an incredible number of bubbles will form when you drop it in a bottle of soda. Since the Mentos are also heavy enough to sink, they react with the soda all the way to the bottom. The escaping bubbles quickly turn into a raging foam, and the pressure builds dramatically. Before you know it, you've got a big geyser happening!

coutesy of http://www.eepybird.com/

there's a video of this exploding cola fountain
and i reckon you to watch it
fun and interesting to watch
shall upload it in this entry
enjoy the visual delight !

cool huh
shall experiment it myself sometime soon
till then
adidos !

a snile that delights this soul

2006-07-02T23:45:00.000+08:00

you know..
people say the english invented the game
and the brazilians perfected the game

well..
when i first came across that catchy line
thought it kindda make sense

but now..
it doesnt really matter does it
both the england and brazil teams are outta the world cup

what's going on ?

pondered the value of me in you

2006-06-30T10:21:00.000+08:00

been like decades since i last inserted an entry
i wonder what to type here
aint havin the inspiration to write anything lately
so i guess that somehow explains this entry-less blog

anyway, just wanna put some stuffs across here
you know, some people would just come up to you
or post comments
telling you how boring your blog it and all that -ve stuffs etc.

personally, i dont really bother about such comments
not that im trying to be mean or anything
but if you analyse the basic aspects and function of a blog
it's used to pen down your personal thoughts or events that happened in your life

did ya catch anything
the key word there is the word Personal
Personal is defined:
Concerning a particular person and his or her private business, interests, or activities
coutesy of dictionary.com

well if you did not
basically what im trying to say here is
keep all those -ve comments to yourself
just let the blogger type whatever stuffs they want into their own blog
with the exception that they're not going against the law e.g defamation

so keep that 5cents comment to yourself
what may seem boring in your eyes
might just be a special memorial entry to the blogger
eat the humble pie and read
or just punch in the Alt+F4 key to end your misery of reading the entry
you can also save probably 5mins of your precious life in the process

before i end
this entry is not targeted at anyone
any similarity is purely coincidental

cya !

3mins more before the soccer match starts
Brazil vs Australia

it's father's day today so happy father's day dad
hope ya like the t-shirt i picked for ya
thanks for being such a great dad
you're the man

had a great bball session this morning
took pictures for the t-shirt design today
anyway.. here are some pics..
not everyone came though.. so only managed to take a few pics

the court

eugene vs yuanlong

weiren with his lay up
flying

yuan long vs weiren
ball stolen

that's me
shoot !

we were supposed to take pictures
but ended up playing around with the camera
taking short video clips instead
yuanlong got addicted with filming himself that he actually took 5 videos of him
that's excluding the COUNTLESS number of NG takes that he misses while going for the layup
plain old vain

he got so enthu about taking clips of himself
that he repeatedly retake clips after clips
what's more.. it's the same move after the same move after the same move
weiren will pass the ball to him
then he'll go for the windmill layup
i'll be standing behind to catch any loose passing ball

well.. so weiren and i decided to prank him
weiren passed the ball
and i sneaked up behind, steal the ball away from him and went for the layup
hilarous clip.. clip of the day
shall post it right after this entry
aint really sure how to post it..
but yea.. i'll try

2006-06-18T05:46:00.000+08:00

it's like 0545hrs right now
haven't rest nor took a nap
reason being i don't have a place to sleep
bro got his friends over to watch the world cup
they end up staying over
occupying the entire room
i end up doing pretty much nothing in the living room
xcept watchin' tv which is pretty much boring too

anyway..
take this opportunity to wish ya a happy bdae' bro
well.. you're 2 years older than me
been a great elder brother despite the quarrels and arguements
but you're always there for me giving me advices to deal with issues in life
thanks alot yea

meetin' the buddies for a bball session in like 3+ hours time
gonna take pictures for the design of the t-shirt
in-charge of coming out the design and everything
thought of an idea
koping the adidas jose+10 concept
the join my team design
pirated adidas.. but 100% creativity

spent most of my time this week playing sports
went running, swimming, basketball and miraculosly.. soccer
yes.. soccer.. you didnt catch the wrong thing
met up with the spydra peeps to play on thursday
managed to score 2 goals..
must be a miracle

soccer is a great sport
but i'll still stick to bball
no offence..
but i delight in ballin'
though..
i prefer watchin' soccer than bball on tv
bless england

talking about bballin'
been quite bad at it lately
my left leg is in pain this week
scrapped my knee
got a cut on my heel & toe
got a blister between my toes
the old injury on the knee started to ache a lil

couldnt jump properly
resulting a lost in balance while shooting
miss most of the attempted shots

to make up for that..

tried my best to create opportunity & chances under the basket for my team mates

though under basket play aint my niche area

screened the opponents

opening up the lanes for team mates to drive a layup or kick in the jumpers

concentrated more on assisting

never give up till the last second aye

well.. sports aside..

lately.. the inner person inside feels weird

feeling that there's an emptiness within

appears as if there's a hollow or a void inside

feel incompleted somehow..

asked myself what could be missing

reviewed my life.. and life has been kind to me

everything seems to be in place

family, friends, finances, needs, studies

but even after all that thinking..

it felt as if the soul longs for something

dont really understand why it's reacting in such a way

it kept me pondering

shall end my post here

gonna fix myself some breakfast before the game

so adios world

you make my grey sky blue

2006-06-11T08:47:00.000+08:00

it's 0840hrs now
just crawled outta my bed
gettin ready to bball
only to find out that it's drizzling AGAIN
pushed back the bball session to 0930
so found myself some time to blog

alrites.. it's been awhile since i last dropped a post
due to the mid-semester tests and beating the project deadlines
it's all over now aye..
and the holidays are here !
cheers

gee.. i wonder what to blog about..
cause there's been so much things on my mind lately
some are just general issues..
while some are just so personal that i keep 'em inside me

hmm.. shall pen down my holidays plans here
it's a 2 weeks+ long holiday
intend to run & swim every late morning
time to regain back some fitness
also planning to try out some new sports
bouldering, rock climbing, kayaking (2 star)

also planned a town outing with the buddies
time to shop for stuffs
got quite a long wish list
new shirts, jeans, shoe, BASKETBALL and an acoustic guitar

well.. wanna take this holiday break to improve on one particular area
yea.. it's the musical aspects
gonna spend more time on my guitar..
to be able to play the guitar is one of my goals for 2006
but beyond that.. i desire to excel further
maybe one day i'll become a pro guitarist
hah who knows.. never give up till the last second
just gotta keep trying

yet to continue working on the second piece of song
every piece of song that i compose..
is inspired by things that happen around me..
friends.. family.. people..
and it has a story to it

this second piece of song
is inspired by a few friends who are experiencing the hardship of a breakup
a song designed to encourage them to walk out of this valley of darkness
and move on for the better

the story of this song is about this girl
who really loved this guy till the point..
he's her every thing
then one day..
he just walked out of her life..
feeling lost.. confused.. and broken..
she was left there reminiscing of the past memories

it's an emo song
if you're feeling sad.. just cry it out
it's better than to bottle up everything up inside
and feel more miserable
let it all out and feel better

it's still incompleted
but here you go..

Reminiscing

Let it go
Let it fade
Let it sway away
I don't know what else to say

You held my heart
And these feelings of mine
Then you walked away from my life

You left me here devastated
Thinking of our past
The times we spent together
Flashes through my mind

What happened to those promises
Those you made to me
Claiming that you'll be by my side
When darkness fills my sky

Let it go
Let it fade
Let it sway away
I don't know what else to say

that's all for now folks
it's yet to be refined
cya soon
bball time !

0930hrs

you made me think

2006-05-30T17:51:00.000+08:00

Gosh..
Finally completed the HRM project
It is done !

Reached school at 9am today
Met up with my project groupmates & rehearsed our skit outside LT21
It was kindda embarrasing cause people who walked passed gave a glare like
"What are these people doing??"

Nevertheless.. My group had lotsa fun
Played around with the props we brought
Managed to include a few comical scenes that spiced up the performance
Our tuitor was relatively impressed and delighted with our presentation
And we also received positive feedbacks from our classmates about it

So I guess..
After all that hardwork & effort we put in..
The struggles and numerous problems we encountered along the way..
It was all worth it.. Right mates?
Cheers for our project group
You guys.. or should I say girls were simly awesome

The combination selection results were also released today
I managed to get into the combination of my choice
Human Resource Management & Finance
Feeling relieved & elated about it
Can't wait for the next semester to commence now

Kiwi got into corporate communications & human resource
Bea got into tourism & marketing
Sharon got into human resource & tourism
Aileen got into banking & finance
Kry is appealing into corporate communications & human resource

Well.. It seems like the peeps of 1B17 are gonna be seperated again
However.. I'm glad that they all managed to get into the combination of their liking
Though none of them chose the same combination as me..
But.. I know and I know it's gonna be a good class next semester!
I even know who my project groupmates to-be are
One word to describe them.. Fantastic
It's gonna be a great semester
Woohoo

Ain't feeling that well today
The sniffing evolved into a slight sore throat and cough
Feeling a lil cold and feverish too
Shall go catch some rest

Oh yea.. before I end this entry..
Wanna intro this song to all of ya
Rather catchy and cheerful song
Sugar We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy

Cya !

you're extraordinary

2006-05-27T00:23:00.000+08:00

Mum got discharged from hospital today
Went into her bedroom as soon as I stepped into the house
Her pale expression reveals her weakened condition
Yet she still managed a wide smile of hers welcoming me
I asked if she was in pain..
Although she denied.. I knew it hurts
At that moment.. I rather it was me to take the pain than her
It hurts seeing her in pain

Sat by mum's side accompanying her
Gave her the brownies and candy I bought today
It instantly brought a smile onto her face

Served mum with a warm glass of water & helped her out with her medication
Lied beside accompanying her
Watched some tv shows together
And then I got to share with mum about my life
What's going on in school..
The thoughts that is in my mind..
How I feel and many other stuffs

Felt like a young boy again
To be filled with her motherly love and warm
It felt so good to be in the presence of mum
Mum held my hands as she listened attentively to the things I shared
She too shared her life experience and gave me many advices on the various topics
Accompanied her till she fell asleep
Tucked her to bed and exited quietly

Mum played a great role in my development throughout all these years
She shares with me on how to grow into a better person
How to treat others better and stuffs
Times like this are cherished moments to me
Knowing that my mum won't be around forever in my life
Cause me to treasure and cherish her even more

I pray that you'll get well soon mum
It great spending time with you

2006-05-25T23:12:00.000+08:00

How I wished I were blind
Or rather.. lost my vision for that few seconds at that moment
But no.. I was able to see..
Or rather.. I saw..
At that instance.. waves of knives just swept in
Piercing so deeply in
It aches from the core of my soul
It aches so much it felt as if it's bleeding..
It is so real that I can feel the pain from inside

2006-05-24T22:48:00.000+08:00

2006-05-23T17:22:00.000+08:00

im so dead tired and restless today
burned the mid-night oil last night trying rush the HR project
was in the midst of doing the recruitment part then i fell asleep
woke up real early this morning and tried to continue from where i left off
only managed to catch a few hours of rest

headed to school for the HR tutorial
only to find myself more lost when i approach my tuitor for assistance
she aint that helpful at all throughout this project
the faitgue coupled with the stress of beating the project deadline just worn me out more

nevertheless
good things occured that brightened this gloomy day of mine
though i was physically and mentally drained
your cheerfulness chased them away
it felt just great and all..

gonna catch a short break for now
then it's time for project again

2006-05-21T00:52:00.000+08:00

if only time allow
if only situation permit
if only i know what to do
if only i know how to react
if only i know what to say
guess i'll never know what's at the end of the tunnel
till i walked through it.

2006-05-20T23:27:00.000+08:00

never in my life
have i came across such a random day
yes.. you read it.. random day

this random day started off..
random event #1 (morning)
mum instructed me to stay at home till late afternoon
cause she called up the air-con maintainence service people to come over
the air-con been kindda faulty lately
roaring like a car engine
and emitting more heat than cooling the room

random event #2 (afternoon)
couldn't do much stuffs at home
didn't have the drive to touch the various projects & tutorials
wanted a break from all that
laid on the bed while listening to various music
kindda enjoy moments like that
all alone.. relaxing.. thinking through.. re-collecting myself..
then out of nowhere..
all 4 of my aunts came over to my place
not 1, not 2, not 3 but all 4
randomness

random event #3 (evening)
headed down to town to meet the buddies
random-est stuffs happened
yancong actually agreed to join us..
plus.. for the first time..
FIRST TIME
he brought his girlfriend along
HIS GIRLFRIEND !

alrights.. i know you must be thinking.. what's the big deal
okay.. the deal is this.. we all came from 10 long years of boys school...
which means.. when we go out as a clique.. it's all guys..
and even lets say someone has a girlfriend.. it's impossible to even see who is she
and today.. we get the first chance to meet the re-knowned jiajia
hold your horses.. there's more to come..
weiren brought his girlfriend too !

yes.. in only one day.. we met 2 of our buddies's girlfriend
and i must say.. its a new kind of experience within this clique
rights.. the bachelors, jon, justin, adrian and me walked infront
kindda strange to walk behind those 2 couples

went to plaza to hunt for da vinci code movie ticket..
sold out
went to the new cathay to hunt for da vinci code movie ticket..
sold out
so there goes Plan A of watching movie

Plan B
have dinner and play pool
was about to proceed then..
we randomnly went to cine..
there.. weiren bought a basketball (sponsored by his dad)
then we headed off to play basketball
gosh.. more randomness
suppose towning outing.. turn out basketball

alrites
that roughly sums up this random day
by this random post
by this random user
cya

2006-05-16T23:03:00.000+08:00

sometimes.. i'm just amazed over my own blur-ness
for instance this morning
was suppose to be in school by 0930 to discuss about the HR project AGAIN
left my house and headed for the bus stop
it's usually like a 5mins walk
quite a distance away from my place

upon reaching the bus stop
i felt for the pocket at the back of my pants
and the wallet wasn't there
so i walked all the way back
another 5mins

went into the room, living room, kitchen and dining area
couldn't seem to find it
but i remember placing it on the side desk of mine before sleeping the day before
don't ask me why..
instincts prompted me to search for the wallet in my bag
and it was there !
another 5mins gone

left the house and headed for the bus stop
another 5mins
gosh.. summing up the time spent..
that's 20mins !

fortunately the goddess of bus is kind to me today
traffic was smooth as silk
managed to reach school at 1000
and i wasn't the last one to reach
thank God

the HR project is giving me a headache
problem based learning
feels like driving around without a sense of direction
keep bumping into problems
(i guess that's why it's PROBLEM based learning)
and the tuitor ain't that helpful at all
the only thing she succeeded is to cause us to feel more lost
but anyway.. i still think it's kindda fun
ironic aye..?

attended the elective talk today..
it's time to settle down and think what elective to enroll myself into at 2.2
it seems that Human Resource and Coporate Communication caught my attention
personally i think both the electives compliment one another
and it also takes on a more interactive learning approach
something outta the box

just something random i felt like posting
tried to change the strings of my guitar
and i think i did a pretty bad job in it..
it's producing rather strange sounds..
gonna ask someone to help me out with it
so.. no guitar to practice for the moment
got a new tune in my head though
kindda excited to figure out the chords
and the lyrics.. managed to get the chorus done

guess i'll end my post here !

heard some stuffs today
wished i had left my ears at home
are these stuffs i heard truth or fiction
it made me think quite a lil
who am i to make judgement of you
when this is just a one-sided story of you

2006-05-13T01:51:00.000+08:00

deep and meaningless ?

NO !

2006-05-12T14:43:00.000+08:00

it's vesak day today
sitting back & relaxing
got a chance to give myself a break from everything

was lying on the bed
listening to this song "What's Going On" by the various MTV artists
really smooth and slick song
makes ya relax

as i was listening to the song
it goes what's going.. what's going on..
then i wandered deep into my thoughts..

guess what weiren said was right
just gotta be myself..
aint gotta mimick anyone..
there's no need to impress anyone..
be original.. be myself

reflecting upon it
i felt a dead knot untied in the messed up mind of mine
felt a lot better

alrites world
be ready to face me
originally uniquely me !

2006-05-12T05:22:00.000+08:00

it's 0520 in the morning now..
and my eyes are wide open

kindda strange day today..
it started out pretty alrite
infact.. i thought it was great

however..
after lunch.. i wonder what struck me
felt down and lousy all of a sudden
carrying this mood through jap and social class till i reach home

don't really think that it's mood swing..
cause i dont any past records of it
maybe it's some stuffs..
and i think i got an idea what is it..
aint wanna disclose it

anyway...
feeling much better now
was practising the guitar..
and doing some thinking at the same time..
gradually felt better :)

oh yea
i've just composed a song
spent 3 hours doing it
first time composing
wrote the lyrics
and even got the rhythm & chords all done up !
*grins*

not doing any self-serving bias
but i think it sounds really nice
wish i could play it for someone to listen

alrites singapore
going over to my uncle's place in yishun for a mother's day bbq celebration later
so incase i dont see you
good morning
good afternoon
and
good night !

2006-05-12T01:59:00.000+08:00

headed over to town with lindee, rachel & roddrick yesterday
on our journey there
i managed to find some interesting facts:

lindee
also known as sammi the roti prata seller
sells cheese prata with mushroom at the price of $2.50
is also the elder sister of the rat
but she's a chinchila
yet she's also the mango

roddrick
also known as rat, balaa & shennen
is married to rachel
however is caught having an affair with mini mouse
on the verge of having a divorce with rachel
still hanging in there
is the younger brother of lindee aka sammi
found to have a scandal with jianhong

rachel
also known as rachel balaa rat shennen po
she has a slightly longer name as she is married to roddrick
therefore fusing his name into hers
the po literally means wife in mandarin
makes sense now?
is found having affair with jian hong
on the verge of having a divorce with roddrick
still hanging in there

yups
i got to be the narrator of the day
it was really fun
in charged of depicting the scenes of the episode in this drama series
we have a good script here
it's only a matter of time before mediacorp contact us !

went around town hunting for presents for mother's day
browse around the shops and stalls
can't seem to find a suitable gift for mum
but lindee did
she spotted this perfume and intends to get it
but she spoilt her name nose in the process
new theory: perfume spoils your nose

headed over to yoshinoya for dinner
and kiwi finally arrived
apparently he waited 45mins for the bus
man.. that's a long wait for a bus
great to have kiwi around
adds in more fun and laughter

walked a lil while more and headed home

really enjoyed the day out in town today
apart from the buddies
been a quite awhile since i had a geniune fun and laughter
a simple sentence..
but it really does meant alot

goodnight world
hello dreamland !

2006-05-08T01:09:00.000+08:00

woohoo.. don't ya just love sundays ?
well.. i do

the morning kick off with great good old game of bball
sprawling outta my bed at 0830 in the morning
might sound lazy here but..
come on ! it's a sunday and waking up this early is no joke
dragging my body to the toliet to wash up
and off i am to the bball court near my place totally refreshed

met up with jon & weiren the good old buddies
and surprisingly.. for the first time in awhile.. emphasizing on the first time here..
i was the last to reach the court
alrites.. it was a pleasant surprise because.. jon who lives in bishan and weiren who lives kindda a distance from the court got there before me
and me, who live just 2 blocks away from the court got there last..

only the 3 of us playing today because
the following peeps pang seh:
mr een yuan long
mr adrian cheung
mr tan yan cong
mr eugene tan
and
mr korean hunk, kwok seong hoon (apparently he has a valid reason: japanese exams on monday)

nevertheless.. it was a great session of bballin'
played a match with some china peeps..
and won them without much difficulty

following that was 1 vs 1 practice among the 3 of us
and yes.. im quite bad in 1 vs 1 situation
dribbling past opponents just aint my cup of tea
and with the close up defence from the opponent
just a matter of time before..
well.. jon dominated the under-basket region
overall winner in 1vs1 scenarios

ballin' with the old buddies just re-ignite my passion for ballin'
felt comfortable playing with them all
there's this synergy when we play as a team
the teamwork
knowing one other's strength and weakness
bringing out the strengths & potential of one another
and covering up for the weak spots of the team mates
it's a team game
Together Everyone Achieve More

heading over to the nearby marketplace for lunch
with the reconmendations of weiren
we settled our lunch with a sumptuous meal of nasi lemak
after living around the area for 13 years
never knew a good stall like that existed there

initially we thought of ordering a variety of food
but the nasi lemak got us all stuffed up
been awhile since we settled down for a good chat
and it proved to be a good one
got to catch up and update myself about them
and man.. plenty of interesting stuffs has been happening to them in over there in JC
anyway, due to the privacy of the issues
it cannot be disclosed here
else their female fanclubs will come chasing after me with their parangs
opps
did i just spilled the beans about their fanclubs ?
kidding

a day out with the good old buddies made me miss those days in our secondary school
all the fun and crazy stuffs we did
ballin', towning, pool, watching nba matches, chalet, mugging
most importanly.. the genuine friendship that we've forged over the years
something that i've come to treasure

moving on..
the new semester has just began 2 weeks ago
found myself separated from all my classmates
placed in a whole new class and environment
and it's beginning to rub it in..
the feeling of loneliness
while everyone scrambles off to find their cliques after lectures and tutorials
im left standing there in the midst of all the crowd
feeling a lil uncomfortable about it
well.. just hope that i'll be able to blend in well with the new classmates !

also went for the second guitar lesson
and it was kindda great and fun
no pressure while learning in the class
everyone is kindda at the same level..
so it aint that bad when you make mistakes here and there yea?

realized that i aint that tempo-less nor tone-deaf afterall
well.. maybe it's a potential not realized yet?
shall work on that..
since im not any music prodigy nor genius
challenged myself to become a genius of hardwork in this unexplored and uncharted territory of music in my life
gambatte desu

i guess that sums it up for a day
wonderful day it has been
cheers !

beauty in the eyes of the beholder

one of my goals this year is to learn how to play the guitar
and now it seems possible

another thing is my bro is coming back from switzerland on thursday morning
he said he'll get me something from switzerland

29 March 2003
a date that i'll most probably never forget in my life

strange how it has been almost 3 years since back then
strange how this date flash across my mind at this moment
strange how i could still vividly remember the details of that day
strange how my life changed after that date
strange how our life once so close now so far
strange how the paths we trend on now differs completely
strange why am i typing all these after such a long time since then

remember remember 29th March of my calendar

2006-03-24T04:28:00.000+08:00

4.30am right now
just finish watching Internal Affairs III
also known as Wu Jian Dao
borrowed the DVD from Jeremy earlier today

yes yes yes
i know i'm outdated
the show was screened decades or centuries ago
and here i am watching it for the very first time
but hey
good movies have no measures of age
and right here and now
i stamp my good quality movie award on this film

the story is amazingly simple
yet twist of events and cliff hangers leave you grabbing onto your seat
enticipating what's about to happen next
EMO rating of this movie is pretty alrite
prolly cause i'm a male gender
aint gonna get move to tears that easily
but the story did done its part in touching my heart

i feel especially for the character Andy Lau played in
although he was the bad guy
all he wants was to simply turn over a new leaf
but the saying goes "no crimes are left unpunished"
he desperately tried to run away from the crimes he committed
but there's no hidding from the arms of justice
if he had turn himself in right from the start
things wouldn't have ended this badly

moral of the story:
"BE A MAN
DO THE RIGHT THING"
-Russel Peters-

it's 2am in the morning right now
for the past consecutive days
i've been sleeping at 7am in the morning and waking up 10am in the same morning
wonder why i'm experiencing such sleeping disorder

there's so much things bottled up in my mind
all jumbled up like an indian rojak
it's a mess up there
realized i posses a weird thinking mentality

having my long awaited holidays
can't wait till it ends

prefer solitude
yet i don't like being and feeling alone like now

telling myself to try and strive harder the next semester
keep dwelling and sulking at the GPA

wished for a chalet and should be in spydra chalet now
wanna stay at home

wanna go jogging, basketball, swimming and badminton
don't wish to do anything

sharks
i need to do something about me

2006-03-14T18:37:00.000+08:00

been awhile since i post an entry
so here we go

results came out and it aint up to my expectations
did moderately alrite.. improved from last semester
but still a long way to go till i hit my target of 3.5
nevertheless, i'll keep working hard
and even if i never reach this goal of mine
i can pat myself on my back and remind myself that least i've gave it a shot

pattra is back from thailand for a short period of 4 days
only get to meet him yesterday for dinner over at suntec
and i so proud to have a friend like him
top student in the university over there in thailand
keep going my friend
shine !

talking to pattra made me realize so many things
i see him as an inspiration to keep me going further in my studies, career and the list goes on..
he challenged me not to be afraid to fight for what i believe in
and most importantly, the ability to see and fulfill a dream that everyone has

sad to say.. he left home for thailand today
i was there to send him off at terminal 1
could sense that he left singapore with much reluctance
especially when everyone is so caught up so their own life..
i was the only friend there to wish him bon voyage

i guess if i were him, i would definitely felt the same
after losing in contact with your dear friends over a period of time
all you wish is to have a good time of reunion with them
yet this wish seem to be deprived as they are caught up with their own stuffs
busy till they couldn't even spare a time off for a short fellowship
do i have the capacity to accept such harsh reality..?
i guess not..

i haven't mentioned the fact that the hearts of some friend grew frightening cold
once heart to heart friends who were your sworn best friends
now as of the distance where you don't get to meet one another face to face that often
the relationship as friends is no longer present?
is that what a friendship is meant to be?
seeing one another = friendship?
not seeing one another = no friendship?
personally, i do not consider such people as friends
they are more of an acquaintance

if you ever asked me how do i define a friend
i would tell you this
sincerity
the word speaks for itself
how much are you willing to sacrifice for your friend
are you willing to go the extra mile for your friend
giving all you've got for your friend

yes, this is what i regard as a true friend
before you call me a friend
think briefly of what i've said
embrace my theology of friendship
do you have what it takes to be a true friend to others?

2006-03-09T22:21:00.000+08:00

rumour has it that the results will be out on saturday
which means that those who applied the sms service to receive their results will get it tomorrow
and i happened to be one of those who applied for that service

i'm confess that i'm feelin' a lil nervous and panicky
but my re-assurance arrived when i recalled of what pastor kong said
"do your best and let God do the rest."

i did tried my best for this semester's paper
although i reckon' that i could've done much better
but i'm trusting someone who have an extraordinary plans for me
that i can be at my best
amen & amen

Quote from Final Fantasy X :
"If we should get separated.. Just whistle.. I'll come running... I promise.."

a random thought of the day,
i think girls look nice with a pony tail

2006-02-26T18:35:00.000+08:00

the final paper on thursday marked the end of a school semester
hence announcing the arrival of the much anticipated school holiday
i am no longer a freshie !

an overall update of the exam:

1st paper - business statistics
an overall dissapointment for me
i was overwhelmed with nervousness and was unable to think properly
which proved to be a fatal one
lost many marks in the process

2nd paper - managing business system
well.. what to say.. business students are business students afterall
we aint meant to take IT modules
tried my best for this paper
but i'm not pinning any fantastic results for this

3rd paper - business accouting 2
finished the paper in one hour
i found it pretty manageble
potential A

4th paper - microeconomics
after the upset for macroeconomics
i was determined to do well for microeconomics
effort paid off
potential A

5th paper - organizational behaviour
never in my life have i been able to remember so much stuffs
infact i was able to memorize the whole book
prayers do make miracles
don't be afraid, just believe
i made a prayer and He answered it
potential A

-End-

2006-02-20T23:04:00.000+08:00

kiss goodbye to my A for business statistics
thanks to a genius like me
writting all the wrong things
freaking out during the test
all the studying go down the drain
i'm hoping for a borderline B
that will make my day
please do not fail or give me a D

TRYING to understand what is this module Managing Business System
i catch nothing about it
so do 90% of the other peeps
practically screwed for the paper tomorrow

hopefully the remainding 3 papers are As
to push the GPA up

i need a miracle badly

2006-02-18T01:33:00.000+08:00

sipping a cup of nice warm coffee
reading my microeconomics notes
penning down personal notes
trying to make sense of all those graphs
yet to start on that stack of managing business system notes

2006-02-15T16:10:00.000+08:00

2006-02-09T01:39:00.000+08:00

i was one step away from taking the back door

one move before throwing in the towel

one decision before making a reckless choice

but my leader was there for me

to guide me away from the strayed path

pushing me back up to where i am suppose to be

clearing my grey clouds

renewing my faith

the return of the prodigal son

2006-02-05T02:01:00.000+08:00

my world is collapsing and falling apart

i'm losing people who are dear and close to me

my family & buddies

slowly and surely i've drifted away from them

i wish i could wind time back to the good old days...
