ThOrNs N rOsEs..

Life's full of thorns and roses..

So how abt some more flowers n less pricks?

TwInKle..

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark,—
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

FrEsHiE nO mOrE..

It's finally over.. The days of yonder..

It's been a real hectic month of july.. Camps after camps after camps..

Army.. Business.. Hall..

Now tt it's over, time to start work i guess..

Though the feeling still stays for another year.. Will still be looking forward to next year's foc.. and all those fun times to come..

Hehe.. Freshie no more, but once a freshie, always a freshie..

To all my dearest freshies, gambatte for the coming year!

eVeNtFuL..

Eventful..

Juz.. eventful..

I mean, it's juz not ur normal day of activities.. Everyone of it had a different connotation, and i mean really different..

We all live n stay in this small island of Singapore, but the events and experiences tt we have are like heaven and earth apart..

same same, but different.. haha really wanted to type tt..

gosh.. how happening can u get..

guess i'm used to it since army days, with all the diff walks of ppl.. hmm..

n i have to say, a job well-done.. though the journey is still long.. some may nvr reach the end, but do remember the comrades tt once thread the same path as u..

believe..

rAnDoM..

Was juz thinking tt it's getting a bit quiet here recently, while other "neighbours" are so full of their lives and inner thoughts.. hey, i'm juz simple ok?

or maybe juz lazy and boring haha..

to think tt i used to blabber non-stop.. each day was almost half a page long.. my gosh..

less words, more actions?

actually for this place to last for so long it's quite miraculous.. haven't really heard of anyone who's been blogging for tt long hehe..

anyway the gates of hell beckons once again.. kinda having mixed feelings.. training will be tough as usual, but it'll prob shield me from the harsh cruel world outside.. humans are juz fickle.. they'll always think the grass is greener on the other side.. even though i dun think many ppl step on grss nowadays..

den it's camps.. and camps.. and camps.. its high time to psych up once again i guess.. enthusiasm doesn't last, flames of passion needs to be rekindled.. so think i need some encouragement..

believe in it..

tRaNsItIoN..

busy..

really busy..

and i can't even remember wat i'm busy with..

sian..

when will life ever be the same again?

time.. money.. sleep..

i miss u guys so, so much..

WhIrLdWiNd..

guess tt's it..

14 pts.. haha..

seems like they really dun wan ppl in the west to enjoy hall life at all..

sheesh.. adults.. they juz think in their shoes instead of putting themselvs in others.. why? cannot fit in ar? tell me, i get one from thailand for u..

nvm.. not gonna let it affect the mood for the day.. as like sometime ago back in thailand hehe..

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it's somehow.. different..

more.. soothing.. more comfortable..

is this it?

one does wonder when will the ache stop.. hmmm..

CoNnEcTed!!!

Finally!!!

Laptop's finally up and running.. Been like a month plus? Sheesh.. so many things gone, so many things left hanging.. I guess it's one big karma.. Nvm guess it's juz a bad period..

Photos all gone.. Tt's gotta be one of the biggest impact i guess.. Plus all the oldies tt i spent hours downloading.. Hmm.. sorry guys, Japan and Thai trip gotta wait a little hehe..

Everything's so unsettled now.. Neither here nor there.. Moving things back to home ain't such an easy task with another brother moving back at the same time.. Headache for my mum i guess.. Big headache.. So much more food to prepare at the very least hehe..

Plus the internet connection.. Only get to blog these coz bro's finally done with the cable.. Think we need a router soon.. or now in fact..

Missing you..

Thinking of you..

Are you doing the same thing as well?

ExAmS..

Hey to all of u unfortunate souls out there like me..

Good luck in ur exams! Know it's gonna be tough, but the sun will always shine after the rain hehe..

FeElInGs..

A word to describe it all:

Exhilaration..

A place?

Hmm, prob the top of the world is still not high enuff..

This..

is..

it..

Hehe..

ChAmPiOnS!!!

Wat a day..

Wat a gift..

Champions.. Cheerobics 2007..

Enuff said..

MiSfOrtuNe..

Haha juz another random post..

Let's see..

Knocked on the head..

Kicked above the groin..

Abrasion at the butt..

Scratched at the back..

Think tt kinda sums up the training for me hehe..

ReCoGnItIoN..

I'm juz a normal person after all..

Living in this world.. With this world.. With all the other ppl..

Recognition.. Fame.. Is it all tt important?

My feelings say no.. but my heart's inclined otherwise..

I guess ppl would wan their hard work to be recognized.. Tt is, at least someone appreciates the effort put in, even though they may have not expected anything in return in the first place.. But is there truely anyone who can achieve tt? Is there really any incentive in doing sth tt ppl would not even appreciate?

Congrats to those who have done tt, i'm really proud of u.. Coz i'm a failure in tt department i guess.. Though i'm still striving to get out of the mentality as well..

Do for a passion, do for urself.. Anything else is but a bonus..

There's bound to be someone out there who sees it.. n someday, juz someday..

GoLd!!!

Haha a bit late in the updating, but better late den nvr..

N YES WE GOT THE FIRST SPORTS GOLD OF THE YEAR!!! Victory's extremely sweet after a bad showing at the last IHG.. Plus the fact tt we took out the bananas in the finals with a convincing scoreline of 3 - 1.. IVP keeper and all couldn't match the newly revived spirit of the maroon army man.. Luck's finally changing yeah!

Well, most of the event's finally over..

...CNY dinner, which saw quite a few seniors come back to relive the days in hall, plus a bit of jam-n-hop session, as usual.. Well guess the most interestin thing was to see how ppl act diff under the influence of alcohol.. Hehe the nite of the long-tongue superwoman..

...Nite cycling, well, was fun and disastrous at the same time.. hmm guess it's mostly due to the strong brakes of the rented bikes which sent many exp cyclist flying, yes flying.. worse of was a broken arm and well, a smashed cornetto, but it was really a great scene for the cameras hehe..

...Kayaking turned out to be a trip back for me as we sailed against the tide to Hendon.. The weather was threatening so didn't really get very far after tt, but many still became pretty cooked under the hot sun initially.. Sore arms, tanned skins, but all in all a great day topped up by Changi V's Nasi Lemak! Haha..

Hmm nothing much to look forward to le, except for Cheerobics at the end of this month.. After tt, well it's time to hit the books..

Till den..

LuCkY!!!

Hmm juz came back from Megafest.. Pretty tired after all the preparations n sales of the sausages.. Not to mention the carrying of ppl to the dunk pool n also struggling to get out of the dunking situation.. But it was really worthwhile to be able to see so many familiar faces congregating at the carpark, both seniors n juniors alike.. hehe won a 80bg harddrive as well, though it act belongs to another person who passed me his/her ticket but i kinda forgot who.. Serious!

Some updates from the past.. Nothing really very interesting after HO opening ended, except for the celebration BBQ down at 47.. hehe think we had a record number of photos taken there.. n think it probably marked the start of the meals tt the girls can finally consume without any worries abt their weight haha..



N project superstar came early!! Haha got to perform at Indoor Stadium to support Diya, n a free show came with it, n not forgetting the 2 free bottles of Hoyu hairdye wahaha.. Shuang!



But fun's prob over soon.. Workload's starting to pile up, n tutor's not very pleased with our lack of reading.. hehe time to pull up some socks.. though i think it's kinda hard now tt ankle socks' the norm haha..

MiA..

Juz wanna give some credit to the logo team who spent many a night to come up with the super zai design but sadly couldn't see the light of the day due to time constraints.. Hehe..

RaNdOm BaRkInGs..

Guess this is the time when u juz feel like putting some feelings down, n den move on for a long time b4 coming back to review wat u've put down previously.. as i mentioned, random barkings hehe..

Been like a month since the last update, but life still hasn't really changed much act.. There're still games left to be played, events to be planned.. Well, now there's the addition of tutorials to do n lectures to attend.. sian.. guess it's all part n parcel of growing up.. juz wondering why some ppl can get all the time to go out n chill.. prob coz i'm weird..

Been feeling things tt i've nvr really felt b4.. The revelation of the real society? the innate feelings of man presenting its full weight upon me.. nvm, i may be shy, but i can be super at times hehe.. juz dun go beyond the limit..

com's coming in 2 days' time.. really wan everything to be smooth sailing.. but guess tt's going to be everyone's wish anyway.. after tt will prob go back to our daily routine, but there's still more install for me.. haiz.. think i really need to give myself a break haha.. break a leg man!!!

let bygones be bygones.. it's a brand new yr.. learn from the past, fight for the future, live the present to the fullest!!!

LoNeLy ChRiStMaS...

Back in hall.. Training..

Slept almost all of eve.. N eve's eve.. totally burnout..

Now down with flu..

Sigh..

Wat a Christmas..

Wat a holiday..

N to all the lonely souls out there.. Knowest tt you're not alone.. Well in ur loneliness tt is..

It's not easy.. To be me..

HoLiDaYs...

Not much of it anyway..

Really, where has all the time gone to? Seems like exams period was a more relaxing time as compared to now..

Sports, games, more sports and more games.. Not to mention canvassing as well..

And eating n sleeping n travelling n trying to get the clothes n shoes dry for next day's use..

My gosh.. Wat a way to spend ur hols.. N u wonder why u're so busy..

Maybe it's time to give the spirit n body a good rest.. After all, kage bunshin is juz a make up technique..

I'm juz a normal boy.. Can something good juz come out of all this? At least i'll feel tt all the efforts are worthwhile..

Boys will be boys..

ToO bUsY fOr A fReN...

One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.

Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.

It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.

That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.

On Monday she gave each student his or her list.

Before long, the entire class was smiling.

"Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much." were most of the comments.

No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose.

The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on. Several years later, one of the students was killed in Vietnam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student.

She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature. The church was packed with his friends.

One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin.

The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin.

As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her.

"Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked. She nodded: "yes." Then he said: "Mark talked about you a lot."

After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.

"We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."

Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times.

The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him.

"Thank you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it."

All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home."

Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album."

"I have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary."

Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her purse and showed her frazzled list to the group. "I carry this with me at all times, " Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: "I think we all saved our lists."

That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.

The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.

So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important.

Tell them, before it is too late...
