Pasca - Holiday

Nothing better compared to have holiday with family and relatives (mom's side) at KL.

7 Dec - Followed Aunt Nancy go KL. Aunt Nancy let me drive when we enter North-South highway. The sensation of driving after more than half a year never even touch the steering of car is just indescribable. (and also, driving at 140KM is just syok. Hope I didn't scare Aunt Nancy... haha)

8 Dec -
NS, Li Teng - Meet up with National Service friend, Li Teng, at KL Sentral at 11am-1.20pm. It's been 4 years since NS at Betong. Been trying to meet her when go over to KL few years back, but always failed due to improper planning, my fault of course - didn't check schedule with parents. Anyway, its so exciting to meet up with her. We recalled the NsNutz Gang during NS, all the activities, events... ah, I can't remember most of the events already. Regret I didn't take the initiative to contact more people to get photos from them. Just envy after seeing all the nostalgic photos that Li Teng has.
KLCC - Went KLCC to meet up with mommy, siblings, and cousins. They went PC-Fair at KLCC. But when the time I reach there, they've already done shopping and looking around at the PC Fair. Anyway, we stopped at McD for lunch. Then walked around Suria. I bought a soft toy for XY. Ah, at first I wanted to grab the bunny, but Qihao says the other donno-what is better. So, I couldn't make the decision. I put both soft toys on the shelve just above the piles of soft toys to compare. Then I walked away to discuss with my brother, but when I went back, I saw another guy grabbed the bunny instead of the donno-what, and he went straight to the counter to pay! I was 'traumatized'... Ah regret that I didn't trust my instinct. Its a good lesson though.
Gathering - All the relatives gathered at 五姨's house around 8pm. Its a gathering for my Qihao, who is going Germany in January.

9 Dec - Drove back to JB! Weeee... depart from KL around 12 and reach JB around 2.40pm. Fast leh? Hehe. Anyway, the fun part is that after send Stephanie to Church, Aunt Nancy bring me to City Square for shopping. (Gosh, I think I've started enjoying shopping le...) She bought a Levis jeans for me. Ah, this is another expensive gift from her. Cost >RM200... swt...
Then I go shopping on my own. I bought 2 pairs of shoes (Nike and Adidas shoe) and a tie.
I think its ok lar, consider that I didn't buy any cloths for myself throughout the whole year in Singapore. Anyway, very satisfied!
At night, Aunt Nancy bring me, Steph, and 2 of her colleagues to Korean Restaurant for dinner and then we went Danga Bay for walk. Quite a nice place - Danga bay. Just that according to Aunt Nancy, the 'area can be better' developed. We stopped at the 民歌餐厅 (open air) to have drinks. The teenagers that was singing on the stage them was superb! I like their vocals and guitar skills. Anyway, I asked them to sing 离歌 by 信乐团 =p. Suddenly thought of that song, so just pass the notes up to them =p. But, good lar, the guy sang quite nicely.

10 Dec - Followed Aunt Nancy back to Singapore. Ah, couldn't bring the whole PC set back with me. Left the CPU and Speakers at Uncle Stephen's parent's house. Tomorrow Aunt Nancy will bring down for me, i guess? haha.

Nitez! Tired.

Ah, I'm suppose to do the review of CMS for infotech... ended up blogging... Tomorrow must chiong out the review... But tomorrow stage crew starts... ah... haha.

Year2 Sem1

My NUS Year 2 Sem 1 has officially ended. Before this I was very looking forward to the end of exam, but after last paper yesterday, after watching 23 episodes of Heros straight, now suddenly feels very empty somehow, feels like everything just ended, the whole 'season' just ended.

Holiday is like a new Chapter, a new Season. Got a lot of plans to accomplish during this Season. Need to sit down properly to organize and materialize them.

がんばるよね！

Life is short

Life is short,
Break the rules,
Forgive quickly,
Kiss slowly,
Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile.

tick tock, tick tock

Ah, don't know why these few days have the feeling of time going extremely slow... Its not like I've finished studying, but just can't put my head straight at the piles of books and notes in front of me.

Its quite amusing sometimes to read other people's blog, especially those who have blog-ed for a long time. How people changed as time passes by, events that happened...

I realized that didn't take much photos or blog about my life lately... just don't have the 'enthusiasm' to blog long-long post... no time? No lar, just lazy to post... But I do keep track of things that happened, in short and simple notes, to remind myself how things used to be and to boost my confident on my interpersonal relationship. (I'm quite forgetful... and I do judge people by my past encounter with them... rarrww!)

Exam, Exam, Faster over

So many things that I wanted to do during the coming holiday.

1. Programming
2. Web design
3. Stage Crew
4. Badminton
5. Computer Hardware
...

Yosh, just push for another while more, just another few more days.

아자아자 파이팅!

Materializing Imagination

The great successful men of the world have used their imaginations. They think ahead and create their mental picture, and then go to work materializing that picture in all its details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this bit and that bit, but steadily building, steadily building.

- Robert Collier

Very well, this will be my inspiration for RAG.

Jeff Dunham

Finally, Finals

시작... 1/5

This Semester suppose to be one a great Semester. I don't have much commitments throughout the Semester (except active in IBG... which I...). But don't know why it ended up with projects, presentation, dragged and drained my time until the week before reading week...

I've slowly reduced the activities each Semester... but the outcome still unbearable. I've come to a conclusion, I'm just not the same person I know in the past... I just cannot multitasking...

One 'down'... 4 more to go... I need to concentrate to pull as much as possible for my cui-ed CS2301. And for CS2105, I must try my best not to 'waste' my A+ Project marks...

Ah, so much things to do, yet so little time... I want to sleep, can't survive with such little sleeping time...

School Marching Band

After watching the video in the previous post, suddenly thought of school band of my school last time. Hmm... couldn't find any of their performance video... but this is similar - secondary school band competition.

SMK Sultanah Asma, Alor Star

Check this out. Amazing!
Can't imagine how much effort they've put in to perform this.

Emo-ness

You'll never know when you will be emo about little things... things that not suppose to bug you at that point of time

周杰伦 - 阳光宅男

周杰伦 - 阳光宅男
作词：方文山　作曲：周杰伦
钥匙挂腰带皮夹插后面口袋　
黑框的眼镜有几千度来海边穿西装裤
他不在乎我却想哭　
有点无助他的样子像刚出土的文物

他烤肉竟然会自带水壶　
写信时用浆糊　
走起路一不注意就撞树
我不想输　就算辛苦　
我也要等我也不能让你再走寻常路

我决定插手你的人生　
当你的时尚顾问　别说你不能

让我们乘着阳光　
海上冲浪　吸引她目光
不要怕露出胸膛　
流一点汗　你成了型男
让我们乘着阳光　
看着远方　别当路人甲
让美女缺氧　
靠在你肩膀　
我微笑在你旁边撑伞
喔对了对女生用心疼　
约会要等　讲笑话不能闷　
别太冷　像我一样就刚好
对爱的人　接吻要深　
拥抱要真　
来电显示给个甜蜜的昵称

穿着要个性　
这只是刚刚入门　
接下来你还要会弹琴会写歌会双截棍
头脑清楚　不能迷糊　
我要将你彻底改造基因重组大变身

周杰伦 - 青花瓷

素眉勾勒秋千话北风龙转丹
屏层鸟绘的牡丹一如你梳妆
黯然腾香透过窗心事我了然
宣纸上皱边直尺各一半
油色渲染侍女图因为被私藏
而你嫣然的一笑如含苞待放
你的美一缕飘散
去到我去不了的地方
天正在等烟雨 而我在等你
炊烟袅袅升起 隔江千万里
在平地书刻你房间上的飘影
就当我为遇见你伏笔
天正在等烟雨 而我在等你
月色被打捞起 掩盖了结局
如传世的青花瓷在独自美丽
你眼的笑意

色白花青的景已跃然于碗底
临摹宋体落款时却惦记着你
你隐藏在药效里一千年的秘密
急溪里犹如羞花沾落地
林外芭蕉 惹咒语 梦幻的铜绿
而我如我那江南小镇的等你
在泼墨山水画里
你从墨色深处被隐去
天正在等烟雨 而我在等你
炊烟袅袅升起 隔江千万里
在平地书刻你房间上的飘影
就当我为遇见你伏笔
天正在等烟雨 而我在等你
月色被打捞起 掩盖了结局
如传世的青花瓷在独自美丽
你眼的笑意

天正在等烟雨 而我在等你
炊烟袅袅升起 隔江千万里
在平地书刻你房间上的飘影
就当我为遇见你伏笔
天正在等烟雨 而我在等你
月色被打捞起 掩盖了结局
如传世的青花瓷在独自美丽

周杰伦 - 最长的电影
作词：周杰伦　作曲：周杰伦
我们的开始　
是很长的电影
放映了三年　
我票都还留着
冰上的芭蕾　
脑海中还在旋转
望着你　慢慢忘记你
朦胧的时间　
我们溜了多远
冰刀划的　
圈起了谁改变
如果再重来　
会不会稍嫌狼狈
爱是不是不开口才珍贵

再给我两分钟　
让我把记忆结成冰
别融化了眼泪　
你妆都花了要我怎么记得
记得你叫我忘了吧　
记得你叫我忘了吧
你说你会哭　
不是因为在乎

周杰伦 - 我不配
作词：方文山　作曲：周杰伦
这街上太拥挤　
太多人有秘密　
玻璃上有雾气在被隐藏起过去
你脸上的情绪　
在还原那场雨　
这巷弄太过弯曲走不回故事里

这日子不再绿　
又斑驳了几句　
剩下搬空回忆的我在大房子里
电影院的座椅　
隔遥远的距离　
感情没有对手戏你跟自己下棋

还来不及仔仔细细写下你的关于
描述我如何爱你　
你却微笑的离我而去

这感觉　已经不对　
我努力在挽回
一些些应该体贴的感觉我没给
你嘟嘴许的愿望很卑微在妥协
是我忽略　你不过要人陪

这感觉已经不对　
我最后才了解
一页页不忍翻阅的情节你好累
你默背为我掉过几次泪多憔悴
而我心碎你受罪你的美我不配

哪里有彩虹告诉我
能不能把我的愿望还给我
为什么天这么安静
所有的云都跑到我这里

有没有口罩一个给我
释怀说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药
也是我现在正服下的毒药

看不见你的笑 我怎么睡得着
你的声音这么近我却抱不到
没有地球太阳还是会绕
没有理由我也能自己走

你要离开 我知道很简单
你说依赖 是我们的阻碍
就算放开 但能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白

Working with/without brain

件件工作反映自我

We must take pride in whatever we do. We must put in full effort and think carefully before doing anything.

This is what I lack of... I didn't put in 100% in everything I do...

Its quite sad sometimes, although you've put in a lot of effort, but the result is just not there. I have no idea whether its because of lack of experience? or is it just simply because you do things without using brain...

Phone Camera fixed

Miracles do happen. Accidentally dropped my phone yesterday and apparently the 'thing' that blockd my camera lense got shacked off.
Photo spree again! =)

Give and Take

sometimes we have to give and take...

Easy to say. The process of decision making will cause us headache most of the time... everything seems important and its hard to decide which to let...

label

Hmm, I think I should start a new label for my post - "Emo" - to see how many times I emo throughout the year, or throughout my whole life (if I'm going to blog until I'm old...)... haha

simple life

All I want is...

just to live simply....

But why is it so hard?

geri16

Photocomm

Yeah, will be covering Culture Night later - this will be my first photocomm duty!

Why waste your time

Why waste your time?
When nobody cares?
And nobody looks back,
but only you.

geri16

Can't possibly recall how many times I've reminded my self to be positive, cheerful, don't care what others think of me, look ahead and never look back...

Just can't understand why I behave like little girl - easily upset, easily depressed, easily emo, easily mood swing, easily jealous, easily frustrated over small things...

I've notes and reminders pasted in front of my table, wrote down in my planner, posted in my diary... still I can't practice 'em in real life...

I'll WASTE MY time stoning, rolling on bed, oversleep, looking at people, admiring people who are successful in their life, youtube-ing emo MVs, listen to classical emo songs...

I've changed... sometimes I can't even recognize myself.

-----------

Okay, binghan! Enough emo-ing... get back to work!

Shoulder

Went Far East with YC and XY. XY went there to buy dress for her Chingay dinner the coming Friday. We went there around 1300.

Shopped until 1900.


On our way back in bus, XY sat beside me because the seat beside YC was dirty. After a while, both of them dozed off because too tired. and... XY leaned and slept on my shoulder along the way...

this is the first time a girl leaned and slept on my shoulder...

距离

有一天一個有智慧的教授問他的學生以下的問題："為什麼人生氣時說話用喊的?"

所有的學生都想了很久，其中有一個學生說： 因為我們喪失了"冷靜"，所以我們會用喊的.

"但是為什麼別人就在你旁邊而已，你還是用喊的， 難道不能小聲的說嗎?為什麼總是要用喊的?"教授又問. 幾乎所有的學生都七嘴八舌的說了一堆， 但是沒有一個答案是讓教授滿意的.

最後教授解釋說： "當兩個人在生氣的時候，心的距離是很遠的， 而為了掩蓋當中的距離使對方能夠聽見，於是必須用喊的， 但是在喊的同時人會更生氣，更生氣距離就更遠，距離更遠就又要喊更大聲........"

教授接著繼續說:"而當兩個人在相戀時會怎麼樣呢? 情況剛好相反，不但不會用喊的， 而且說話都很輕聲細語，為什麼? 因為他們的心很接近，心與心之間幾乎沒有距離， 所以相戀中的兩個人通常是耳語式的說話， 但是心中的愛因而更深，到後來根本不需要言語， 只用眼神就可以傳情，而那時心與心之間早已經沒有所謂的距離了.....

最後教授做了一個結論: "當兩個人爭吵時，不要讓心的距離變遠， 更不要說些讓心距離更遠的話，自然的過了幾天， 等要心的距離已經比較沒有那麼遠時，再好好的說吧!!"

When women earn more

These are 2 interesting article at MSN - situations where women earn more than men.

http://msn.match.com/msn/article.aspx?articleid=8785&TrackingID=516311&BannerID=544657&menuid=6&gt1=10486

http://msn.match.com/msn/article.aspx?articleid=7706&TrackingID=516311&BannerID=544657&menuid=6&gt1=10486

There aren't many girls who will fall for guys who earn less than them. Girls like guys who are more dominant than them, guys who has more potential in earning more money than them. Thats what one of my friend said last time.

Hmm, the girl in the second article sure is rare to find nowadays. Hah.

Rocking chair

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but doesn't get you anywhere

principles

Hmm, quite disappointed with myself. I always easily change, or rather... forget the principles that I've set for myself after sometime.

I MUST follow the principles that I've started to list in my diary from now on!

Must die-die follow what I've listed! I'll not change my principles no matter what people say anymore!

三个笑容

心灵成长故事：三个笑容


请问，你富有吗？

有一个家财万贯的富翁快死了，死神来接他走，他问死神:「我死后会上天堂还是地狱？」

死神跟他说：「地狱。」

富翁很不服气，他说：「怎么会是地狱呢？我捐钱盖了好几座教堂，还捐很多钱给教会，怎么会是下地狱，我不服气！」

「你不服气吗？那好，我给你一周的时间，如果你可以收集到三个真心笑容，我就让你上天堂。」

富翁很得意，他心想，要三个真心笑容还不简单？

死神走后，富翁想了一下，要得到真心笑容，就从自己结发四十年的老婆开始，会比较容易一点。

于是富翁就花了很多钱买了一条钻石项链，这是他老婆以前就很想要的，然后送给他老婆。

老婆见到钻石项链很惊喜，也笑的很开心，但是死神却告诉富翁，这根本就不是真心笑容！

富翁感到很奇怪，于是他又加把劲，送了老婆房子，车子，钻戒，所有女人想要的东西他都买了，奇怪的是，老婆虽然高兴，却都不符合真心笑容的条件。

就这样过了三天，富翁越来越慌张，因为时间只有七天，他却连一个老婆真心笑容都得不到。

直到第四天早上，富翁起的很早，他想到自己快要死了，也没什么东西给老婆，烦恼中他不自觉的走到厨房，拿起平底锅，打了两个蛋，烤了土司，开始作早餐。

他老婆起床，看到富翁在做早餐，大吃一惊，因为他们明明有很多佣人，富翁根本不用自己作早餐啊。

富翁把早餐端上桌，老婆吃了一口，突然眼眶泛红，然后笑了起来，「亲爱的，你还记得我们刚开始创业的时候，没有钱，你都会作早餐，我们就是吃这样的简单早餐喔。」

这时候，富翁突然发现，老婆的笑容好美，一早起来的她虽然没有化妆，笑容却美的让人心动。

富翁突然明白，这几年来他从来没有好好陪过他的妻子，都忘记她真正开心的模样了。

于是，富翁得到了第一个真心笑容。接着富翁回到公司，他决定要把第二个真心笑容，交付给跟他一个非常信任的部属，于是富翁把部属叫了过来，对他说：「我决定要升你的官，让你当副总裁，然后给你股票和奖金！」

部属非常惊喜，脸上堆欣，对富翁连连感谢，可是，富翁却发现那部属的笑容还不是真心的笑容。

富翁后来又开了很多优渥的条件，给了更多的奖金和股票，可是部属虽然高兴，富翁还是没看到他的真心笑容。

时间又过了三天，直到第七天的早上，富翁把部属叫了过来，递给部属一张假单还有五张机票。

「你为我卖命这么久，我才发现没有让你好好的放假陪家人，我给你一个月的长假，这是五张到夏威夷机票，带你的老婆和孩子一起去玩吧！」

部属先是吃惊，然后脸上严肃的表情慢慢变了，变得柔和而温暖，一个笑容在他了脸上绽放开，那是很轻松很轻松的笑，浅浅的微笑，但是让人一看就觉得很舒服。

「是啊，我真的好久好久没有跟孩子去玩了，他们都快认不得这个老爸了！」

★富翁松了一口气，原来这才是部属真心想要的，这是第二个真心笑容。

可是好不容易得到第二个真心笑容，时间却已经剩下不到一天了。

富翁想了想，觉得时间已经来不及了，无论是老婆或是部属，都花去他太多时间了，看样子，他注定要下地狱了。

想到要下地狱，富翁有点难过，他决定脱下西装到外头走走，对日理万机的富翁来说，这样一个人四处闲晃的经验，几乎是不可能的！

平常他出门一定是坐高级的奔驰车，身边一堆保镖，手边总是有着处理不完的公文，真的没什么机会一个人在台北街头慢慢走。

富翁想说，反正再过几个小时，他就要被死神抓去地狱了，所以他也不想挣扎了，只是在路上悠闲的走着。

走着走着，富翁突然看到了一个小女孩蹲在路边哭，而周围的路人却没有人愿意伸出援手帮助她。

富翁想说，反正我也没多少时间好活了，就帮帮小女孩好了。

于是，富翁把小女孩带去警局，做了记录，等小女孩的父母亲来接她，在等待的这段时间，

富翁一直看着时间，他心里是有点焦急的，因为离死神来接他的时间越来越近了，而他却只能枯坐在警局中。

后来富翁就一直陪着小女孩，直到小女孩的父母终于赶来，三个人哭了起来，抱成一团，

富翁看着这一幕，突然感到一阵打从心里升起的温暖，啊！原来单纯的帮助别人，是这么美好的一件事啊！

然后，他看到了死神出现在警察局。

富翁叹了一口气，知道自己要被抓去地狱了。

他伸出双手，准备让死神铐上手铐。

可是，死神却意外的摇了摇头，「你不是要跟我去地狱，你可以上天堂了。」

富翁睁大眼睛，他不懂。

「第三个真心笑容。」死神拿出了一面镜子，放在富翁的面前「其实老早就出现了。」

富翁看着镜子中的自己，原本严肃绷紧的表情，竟然整个松开了，一双残酷的眼睛变得像小孩般清澈，最重要的是，他的嘴角竟然不知不觉微微上扬着，彷佛不是一个掌握大权的总裁，而是一个亲切慈祥的老人。

★「原来，第三个真心笑容是我自己....」说着说着，富翁露出了笑容，这次，是一个真心的笑容。

guy

十歲以前， 他什麼都不懂，就不說了...
十三、四歲的時候， 開始對女孩有好感，但是那時
候他離女孩遠遠的，並且以討厭女孩自居，生怕被
同伴嘲笑。

十五歲的時候，聽到大人們說某某男人好花，把女
朋友甩了，女孩自殺了。
他覺得這人真狠毒，自己將來一定要做個癡情的男
人，一定要一生只愛一個人。

十六歲的時候，他喜歡上了一個女孩，但是他不敢
和她說。
仍然和往常一樣，臟兮兮的在灰土飛揚的操場上踢
球。
只在女孩走出校門的時候，躲在二層的窗戶上看她
的背影，他覺得她一定是個天使。

十七歲的時候，有個女孩喜歡上了他，但是他離她
很遠，心裏面只有自己那個女孩，他覺得看別的女
孩都是對她的不忠。

十八歲的時候，看了一個MTV，感動得想哭； 他
想，如果自己的女孩失去了雙眼，他一定會像男主
角會毫不猶豫的把自己的眼睛給她，讓她能看到光
明。

十九歲的時候，高考了。
終於和自己暗戀的女孩分別，坐火車去學校的時
候，感覺自己離她越來越遠，心像被掏空了一樣。
還在想自己一定不會忘記她，等到自己成功以後一
定要去找她。

二十歲的時候，聽到有人講黃色笑話，覺得這人真
可恥。

二十一歲的時候，她的回信中告訴他，自己有了男
朋友。
他為此偷偷的哭了一個晚上。

二十二歲的時候，他向一個女孩表白，女孩說：
「你是個好人，可是我還小。」他想，我的確是個
好人，然後他說：「沒關係，我可以等妳。」
心想，我不會像那些花心的人一樣，三年五年我也
能等。

二十三歲的時候，聽說自己還小的女孩跟一個帥哥
戀愛了。
他很納悶，長大原來可以這樣快。

二十四歲的時候， 他又向一個女孩表白，女孩說：
「你是個好人，可是我並不適合你。」
他納悶很久，我是好人，妳怎麼還不適合我呢？

二十五歲的時候，他又追求一個女孩，女孩接受了
他。他開始很幸福的為未來拼搏，他想，一時的開
心只是暫時的，只有努力拼搏，他和她才能有快樂
的未來，但是，半年以後，女孩和他分手了，只是
因為另外一個男孩會說讓她開心的話。
女孩說：「你是個好人，是我對不起你。」
至此，他似乎明白了問題所在－－他是個好人！

二十六歲的時候，他開始墮落。打扮得時尚而酷，
而且漸漸的學習著討好女孩的話。
不久，他有了個女朋友，雖然他對她也很好，可
是，他心裏知道，自己並不愛。

二十七歲的時候， 他和女孩分手了。
他對女孩說：「妳是個好女孩，是我對不起妳。」

二十八歲的時候，他嘗試了一夜情，發現別人能做
的，自己也一樣。

二十九歲的時候，他學會了講黃色笑話，並且以看
旁邊的女孩子臉紅為樂趣。

三十歲的時候，他忽然發現自己變得很有能力追求
到女孩，但是卻沒有了愛的能力。

其實每個男孩，本來都是想做一個感情專一的好男
人的。

其實每個男人，本來看女孩子都是看臉而不是身
材。

其實每個男人，本來都是不會講黃色笑話的。

其實每個男孩，本來都是渴望愛一個人直到永遠
的。

只是，沒有任何女孩愛這樣的男孩，她們覺得這樣
的男孩太幼稚，太古板，沒有情趣。

於是男孩開始改變，變成女孩喜歡的那種 嘴角掛著
壞壞。

開始學會說甜言蜜語而不是心裏想說的話。

開始學會假裝關心，學會給女孩送小飾物討好她，
學會如何追求，如何把握愛情。

或者看破紅塵，遊戲情場，成為女人厭恨的那種男
人。

他們可以很容易俘獲女孩子的心，但是他們也會在
黑的夜裏叼著煙流淚。

心裏有愛的時候，沒有女孩；有了女孩，卻永遠沒
有了愛的感覺！

當男人聽到女人抱怨世上沒有一個好男人時候，他
們不會再去努力做個好男人，只是微笑著擦肩而過

3rd Priciple found

After quite some time, finally found another principle to add into my "10 Principles of Life".

cute yet with meanings

A Block song

All thru the day and late in the night time
You'll hear "A Block dinner!"
The voices of the block comm never fails to cry

Inter-block games come and all the supporters
will cheer, "A Block huat arr!"
Wining or losing, we will shout,
"Who's the best block? A Block!"

Chorus:
Here we stand, together as we always have,
Proud to be here singing, this song which
brings great meanings,
There's no where else I choose to be.

We re part of, this loving A Block family,
Sharing tears and laughter, we always have
each other, A Block spirit fills thru me,
We are family!!! (last part only)

So here we're together, care for each other
as one "BIG Family", no matter what happens,
We will stay hand in hand

Repeat Chorus

being a leader

being a leader means finding the way ahead and leading with a vision

being a leader means understanding others

being a leader means making right decisions for the good of the people even if they are unpopular

being a leader means having the magnanimity to forgive

being a leader means defining experiences positively for others

being a leader means giving others the confidence to lead.

being a leader means believing in your goals till the very end.

- Siah Kheng Guan

From now on, this will be my 'guide'.

I've always admire skg's determination, leadership, and... stubbornness =)

Peanut butter and condensed milk toast

XY went Tongshui, Thomson Road, with SC. Birthday gathering I think.

She msged me and ask me if I want anything from there. Of course I replied 'anything' as I have no idea what they have there. Never been there before.

In the end, she bought me Peanut Butter and Condensed Milk Toast. Its on her.

Hmm, 'pretty' nice. Especially for those things that come from those you care for.

Call

Went Orchard yesterday. Somehow, just don't feel contented although the whole day although I'm suppose to be happy - Shopping, Pastamania, Movie - what a ideal weekend.

Just before movie, mom called. We talked for quite some time. Just feel glad to hear her voice, don't know why... feeling just somehow became lighter after that... maybe because I miss her? home-sick? I think I'm the kind of person who still tie to mother's apron's string...

People always say guys should be emotionally strong, physically strong... Just feel that I'm not, emotionally strong? definitely not; physically strong? Just push me, and I'll fall...

Never mind, I'll just have to 'pretend' that I am!

Funeral

A funeral is a material form of the proof that someone lived their life to the fullest.

Mr. Robinson's Driving School

Haha. Quite a comedy.

simple and sweet

Simple music can make u sing,
Simple hug can make u feel better,
simple things can make u happy,
Simple smile will shine your way.

Sweet words are easy to say,
Sweet things are easy 2 buy,
But sweet people are difficult to find.

Life ends when U stop dreaming,
Hope ends when U stop believing,
Love ends when U stop caring,
Friendship ends when U stop sharing.
So share this with whom ever U consider
a friend.
To love without condition,
talk without intention,
To give without reason,
And to care without expectation
is the heart of a truefriend...

Need motivation

For the entire week, my body feels very weak. Not sure whether is it I overloaded myself with too many things, or just mentally tired...

Suddenly feel like taking up post, those 'higher' post in Production and RAG. Feel like since I'm going to do it, why not give it a 'try', do it MY WAY and push it to the best that I can!

But a bit worry that my best (for leadership aspect) is just not the best what this year's Production or even RAG can be. Maybe there are 'potential' people out there whose Resource Management skills are better. Just don't want to let things fall apart this year, not again...

Before this, what is in my mind all the time is that, if I become just normal engineer, at least I can guarantee that I will do my best to make sure task done in my definition of 'perfect' way, at least I will push it as far as I could, I will redo, redo, and redo until things become perfect.



My priority for this year.

1. Academic
2. RAG
3. Infotech
4. Production
...
10. IHG



Hold yourself, binghan!
Yeah, must be more seh in front of everyone!

知足

歌手：五月天 专辑：知足
词曲:阿信


怎么去拥有一道彩虹
怎么去拥抱一夏天的风
天上的星星笑地上的人
总是不能懂不能知道足够
如果我爱上你的笑容
要怎么收藏要怎么拥有
如果你快乐不是为我
会不会放手其实才是拥有
当一阵风吹来风筝飞上天空
为了你而祈祷而祝福而感动
终于你身影消失在人海尽头
才发现笑着哭最痛
那天你和我那个山丘
那样的唱着那一年的歌
那样的回忆那么足够
足够我天天都品尝着寂寞
才发现笑着哭最痛wo…
如果你快乐再不是为我
知足的快乐叫我忍受心痛

我不是爱过就算的人

歌手：苏永康 专辑：爱一个人好难

点不燃你心中那盏灯
就在大风的夜我等了又等
悬空的心总在星光中翻滚
坠落一杯满满情真
忘不了梦里轻轻一吻
就在热闹的街我向前狂奔
期盼的眼终于溢出了泪痕
装满一碗浓浓情深

我不是一个爱过就算的人
爱过的每一刹那都是我永恒
哪怕风愈吹愈冷
哪怕爱情有伤痕
你还是我最思念的人

我不是一个爱过就算的人
只希望有个诚恳无悔的过程
哪怕你永远不能
就算我孤注一生
也不介意在你眼眸里自焚

美丽的误会

歌手：郑秀文 专辑：美丽的误会
曲:徐伟贤词:林夕

那时候听爱如潮水
想象着万一我们不是一对
你和我谁会在深夜里孤独的买醉
这一晚我一个人睡
防备着那于事无补的伤悲
还有很多工作只能面对不能憔悴
我为我的坚强而骄傲
却为这段情感到惭愧
我只能够承认失去了你都无所谓
我听的歌爱的人说的话是不是美丽的误会
我不能为你不顾一切的崩溃
除非这样子能保证把你挽回
我牵的手伤的心流的泪是不是浪漫的误会
是爱得太伤还是伤得太累
难道你还不配让我的心碎
这一晚听爱如潮水
数算着为感情而吃过的亏
搞不懂麻木是不是我学到的智慧
那时候我们都很累
还以为分手之后总有机会
让我们说后悔为了失恋为所欲为
在爱情的面前我宁愿卑微

随心

刚刚才了解有时候我们只要跟着自己心中想要做的事。虽然看/听起来会有点儿奇怪，但是总会有人跟自己一样，一样会做那些事情。

所以不必再顾虑自己在别人眼中会是怎样，只要能安抚自己的心就够了。

误会

你一次次让我零距离地接近你，又一次次地让我回忆起自己心上的疤痕。。。我真怕自己会误会你的想法啊。。。

经典

总觉得光良品冠的歌无论听了多少次，都是那么好听，那么容易的流露出自己心中说不出的感慨。。。

真是自己永远的经典。。。

怕

很怕历史会再重演。。。很怕自己会再次绊到自己的脚，还拼命狼狈地挣扎，最后还是摔了一跤，倒了下去，爬不起来。。。

还是自私点，让自己摔得帅一点儿，别再那么狼狈。。。

对了就是这样。。。

sense of belonging

I like to give my leaders space to express themselves in whatever way they want. By doing so, they will be able to share the goals and visions set for the team, feel as part of the team and have sense of belonging in things they do.

- Rizal

知足

怎麼去擁有 一道彩虹?怎麼去擁抱 一夏天的風?天上的星星 笑地上的人,總是不能懂 ,不能覺得足夠

Quote

in the end, when you're tired and going to die, there's always the question of whether it's worth it. and i guess you have to find the answer within yourself

so yaloh. it'll be harder for people who just feel that they have to complete it for the sake of finishing it la

乱

好不容易平静下来的思绪现在又再次被扰乱了起来。。。

怎么办呢？


只希望自己不要再痴痴呆呆地重蹈复测。。。

Personality

There are 2 type people in this world.

- The type that likes in control of everything in their life.

- The type that likes to enjoy the flow of life.



I think I'm the 'lazy' type who likes to enjoy rather than shape everything according to my way.

Task - Break into small pieces

The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then staring on the first one.

- Mark Twain

Name

Thinking of giving myself a name....

Sean suggested: Jasper

Esther suggested: Paul

Sean suggested another one: Jerad

Hmm, any suggestion?

just some thoughts

Feel proud to have all the Kent Ridgeans behind to support us until RAG Day itself.

Feel proud to have the JCRCs to fight for us to have the canvas to be laid out.

Feel proud to have all the ex-raggers ganjiong for us when our final mechanism, plane moving forward, is being executed.

Feel proud to have seniors shed tears for our presentation.

Feel proud to have Master there with us all the time for the entire RAG Day.

Wah, feel proud to be a Kent Ridgean!


*thought*
This year's experience is more definitely more enriching than previous year. RAG Day 0708 is a fragment of memory that I will never forget. Although we didn't win anything, but for me, to be able to see the whole Hall as one unit on RAG Day itself, everything is worth it.

Quotes from RAG Day 0708

13 Aug 07, 04:16

skg: team dynamics influences the float. the finished product shows it all. yet, the proudest moment of rag is not in winning awards- it's in realising your dream of making your float come alive in the way you wanted it to be. and having the entire hall behind you. i hope you and ur raggers had that feeling. : )

Quotes from RAG Day 0708

11 Aug 07, 21:55

yanjie: thank you raggers - when the plane got together to fly, it was the first time I shed a tear for KR. Thank you very very much for the great show. It is a float we are all proud of to be from KR.

Cry

I cried not because KR didn't win anything this year. Compare to KE, we are nothing. KE deserve to cry more actually. We did our best already, our best for this year.

I cried because this year everything was so messy. Maybe because first time to Padang.

I cried because I was very touched. This year involved so many Kent Ridgeans. The first time I really feel the Hall united as ONE, KR.

Anyway, very grateful to all the helpers (and JCRCs) who helped to make the show possible this year. Can't imagine what will happen without their help. (Feel bad to see all the girls carrying those heavy platforms...)

The Day

This is it, the Day where our hard work for the past 3 months will be displayed to the public.

RAG Day 0708, here KR Flight comes! Glide into the presentation area of Padang!

further

FOWC and FLAG has already brought KR Orientation 07/08 to its climax.

Its all left RAG, RAG 07/08 to bring it up further more. Just a little bit more.


things-to-do:
1. Rest well
2. Push all the way till RAG Day after wake up!
3. Enjoy myself to the MAX during RAG Day!
?. Leave the float for Chingay =p
?. Skip Monday lecture cause too shacked out =p

unlikely to sleep

With the packed schedule to complete the float, its very unlikely I'll be able to get even a nap until 12th August, which is after NUS RAG Day.

Stupid NUSSU still want us to go for meeting now.

*thought*
a bit sad because the most people thought I gave up on the float already when they saw my post before this.

I DIDN'T give up on the float, OK!

4 more days!

I must chiong for the coming 4 days!

Almost finish!

Can finish one!

KR Flight!

Dark side

Can possibly imagine how strong the force of Dark Side is.
Still remember this little girl said that she don't like people who smoke, people who speak vulgar, people who slack. But now, I find that she only mix with those kind of people, even to the extend that she group with them when they c.y. (chou yan) - Indirectly inhale second hand smoke!

I don't mind if she always stick around with them, c.y. or what ever, but if she slack together with them... I got nothing to say. Can't be saved I guess.




Sometimes I just don't understand what is in girl's mind. Most of them too sensitive and very small-gas.

the rocks on shoulder

People always say winning is not important in everything that we are doing. But sometimes, when there are a lot of effort and supports given to us from those around us, losing can never a word in our dictionary. Just imagine the amount of budget that was given to us, the amount of help that was lend to us, how can we possibly not pushing ourselves to the limit and not letting them down?

Anyway, I've made a promise to myself, I will not feel bad anymore. I need to grab myself together and fully prepared for the coming battle next year. To amend the lost this time.

Yeah, I can see that there are pretty less hope as things goes on now. But that doesn't mean that I've give up completely this time. The show must go on, just that it will not be a perfect show for everyone. A not-up-to-standard show on the 11th.

Sorry.

10 More Days

Just 10 more days left.


Why can't you (you all) be more proactive?

...

Now, watching past year's KR RAG floats is the hardest thing for me. Tears will just flow down automatically every time. Same goes to dancer's performance. The dances and stuns will not mean anything if the float itself doesn't give any impact to the audiences.

Illuminati... is the most sensitive word to me now...

just sigh

16 days left. Yet still got a lot of things haven't finish. Wonder this year will be another Illuminati year or not... most probably...

RAG can never associate with HAVE-FUN. Still remember last year when the KRONOS raggers ask me what do I want in RAG, enjoy-and-have-fun or to-win? I answered: "both"... They gave me a funny looking face. Now, I kind of know why they gave me THAT face. Sometimes, I find that people will start/tend to slack off if you include "have-fun" as one of your goal. I mean you can't really scold them for not pushing VERY HARD! (Maybe they did push hard, but its just not ENOUGH, not there yet!)

The suppose to be very hardworking, very chiong, very enthu, people that I know somehow doesn't show the attitude anymore. They just don't commit as much as I thought they would. Maybe because of my own wrong perception. I have no idea why things become like this. Influences? Chain reaction?

Tired. Feel like slacking thru the rest of the day... Maybe not, pick up as much as I could. Learn from mistakes, my own mistakes which as countless... Perhaps perfect it next time? next year?

can we possibly put up anything that the residents of hall can be proud of? ... in such a short time?

... sigh...

updates [RAG]

Sigh, almost RAG Day already, but still have a lot of things to do. A lot of structures still need to be claded and touch-up after that. Still completing the little-bit-of-here-and-there structure for these few days.

Mass production for this year is a bit slow also. Most of the cladding materials are like insufficient all the time. We, engineers need to sit down whole day to produce the complicated cladding pieces. Can't depend on most RAG helpers. Most of their product need to be QC-ed. The worse thing is that the cladding pieces cannot be salvaged cause they are completely OFF!


WHY

Today just before we 收工, chingi accidentally cut her finger with the rattan cutter. I think she was shocked by the incident also. She was a like laughing and joking with us (those who still at RAG area) while watching the blood dripped off from her hand. At first, she said loudly that lichin is going to scold her for making the tatami dirty with "red paint". Weliam and I thought she was just joking, or should I say fooling around, as both of us are very tired and exhausted from whole day work. But after a while, we noticed that the "paint" keep on dripping from her hand. Then only we realize that she cut her finger. Jamie and I rushed to Recrea Room to get first aid kit to treat her wound. After a while, julian came. He was stunned by the incident also. We asked julian to continue treat chingi's wound since he is the only person with clean hand (he just bathed). Haih, the thing that I don't understand is that, keep on asking her wan't to go hospital or not, while chingi replied "no, don't need lar..." Another thing, ju removed the bandage on her hand and look at the wound, and try to describe the depth of the cut to chingi, while she keep on saying she don't want to look at it.
Haih, your girlfriend leh... just bring her to hospital if you think theres a need - to prevent infection. Or... just apply a bit of pressure on the wound with bandage, and apply iodine on the wound after the bleeding slowed down. WHY still look at the wound to see and try-to-describe-the-wound? STOP THE BLEEDING AND DISINFECT THE WOUND LAR!

Attractiveness

Kind of realize exactly what quality/personality my ideal girl should have.

Note to self

Enough of fooling/wondering around for the past few days. 5 days in exact. Stuck with the extension, with slow progress.

Tomorrow I must plan before continue to do the extension! Make myself more organized!

What

During OP Comm meeting last night, Kheng Guan told us what "NUS RAG and Flag Day" is, or suppose to be when it was first lunched. RAG and Flag Day is the day where floats will parade down the street and RAGgers (probably) will stand beside the float to collect donations from the public. The float itself serves as a thanks giving symbol to the public.

But for now, RAG and Flag Day, or should I just say RAG Day, is more about competition. Competition to win the 9 awards during RAG Day itself and ultimately, to win the Chancellor Shield. Its not about thanking the public for donating to Flag. In short, RAG Day has lost its original purpose.

Other halls, like SH, EH, put RAG as the driving platform during orientation. As for KR, FWOC is the primary comm. RAG simply just serves as the part of orientation, the climax of orientation.

Then, he mentioned about Chancellor Shield. Chancellor Shield not suppose to be
Not to cheat myself, for me, Chancellor Shield is The Reward. The Reward for everyone's hard work for the past 3 months. And Chingay also!

遗憾

Brandon also mentioned about the time he cried when they lost on RAG Day few years back. Everyone hugged each other and cried after the whole event. They even cried they meet each other when going down to dining hall to eat after that.

The picture of crying and losing on RAG Day itself straight away pooped up in my mind. Seriously, I am very scared of that image. I really don't know how will I react to it IF it really happen. Too scared to think about it. It will definitely become 心中的一个遗憾.

Slept quite little the few days. 3-5 hours everyday. Very tired, but at the same time, can't really sleep soundly. Snooze off a while the day before yesterday while whelding. I can't believe it also, how am I possibly snooze off while the blazing flare sparks off intensively in front of me. Yesterday, snooze off in the 'body part' of float. Argh, Christina and Esther saw me apparently, and laughed as me... so embarrassed.

less than 1 month to RAG Day...

everything still like never ending...

how to go RAG Day like this?

really really scar.....ed





feel myself like crybaby... don't know why...

Lost

Haih, tired and lost... what should I do...

Weekend break

Last Friday, Saturday, Sunday are break for all the comm members of RAG.

周杰伦 - 不能说的秘密

不能说的秘密


冷咖啡离开了杯垫
我忍住的情绪在很后面

拼命想挽回的从前
在我脸上依旧清晰可见

最美的不是下雨天
是曾与你躲过雨的屋檐 oh
回忆的画面
在荡着秋千梦开始不甜

你说把爱渐渐放下会走更远
或许命运的签只让我们遇见
只让我们相恋这一季的秋天
飘落后才发现这幸福的碎片
要我怎么捡

I want to post photo!

Haih, a bit sien when cannot post the photo of the float structure on blog. Took the photos of the float and statics structure which we are building just now. Very satisfied with the structure we built so far. Still got long way to completion though.

Hoong Soon says they going to buy tin cans next week. Yeah! Got free carbonated drinks to drink! Can drink Pepsi, Coke, 100 Plus.... like water!

Anyway, today finish work quite early. We (Float Engineers) stop about 1 hour early than usual.

Focus

There are just too much unsolved problems. Five weeks had past, we are still in building process. And this week, we are progressing very slowly. Every structure and mechanism doesn’t seem as easy as we thought. We faced a lot of unforeseen circumstances.
Not everyone in the team is enthusiastic about building and presenting the best float, float that represent Kent Ridge Hall. Some people always MIA half-way, sleeping or work with the just-wake-up face. Sad.
I’m not sure whether my theories correct or not, not VERY confident. I’ll just state out my opinion after picture out the whole structure in my mind. Sometimes, I feel uncomfortable when people just agree with me after I state out my opinion. Don’t know whether they really think my idea is OKAY or they just agree simply because I’m at higher position than them. POWER can be not THAT good at times.
Just want to present the best float during NUS RAG Day. Just hope can maintain the momentum and win again this year. Just want the best for the whole team. Just don’t want to lose.
Wonder how other halls doing. Great? Bet everyone pushing hard for their float also.
I must reorganize myself! This is just not me!

shut

Just some random thoughts.

Should I really care about those things or people who don't really care about me? Just feel tired to think of them.

Yeah, I'm not that noble as I think I am. Just human, normal human, with vengeance type of mindset.

Am I too sensitive to things that happened around me? Don't really trust six sense, but just feel like most of the some time things just turned out as I expected, sensed.
.................

Just want everything to be as simple as possible...

update - Target

Quite happy just now while doing RAG. Wingken and Weliam bet on the possibility of us to finish our target by morning. Wingken confidently says we can finish the structure in time. Hmm, in the end, Wingken lost. We couldnt finish it in time >.< So I guess tomorrow Wingken will change his surname to GOH Wingken, instead of YAU, while Weliam saved his coins from can drinks.

Glad that there are new things happened everyday. Before this, I always thought that days in RAG will be more or less the same everyday. Everyday do welding, cutting, grinding, cladding, testing... but it turned out that RAG is quite fun actually. Get to know different people with different personality (but last year's RAGgers have more variety of personality than this year for sure).

The most fun part RAG period is supper time. When everyone sit down, relax, eat and most important - chit-chat, or I prefer to call it gossip. Haha, everyday got different things to gossip about - Who-love-who, who-hate-who, who-argued-with-who... but of course the topic-targets are those RAG members. Quite fun, to relax a bit, laugh at others, and maybe own self, and to strengthen the bonding between RAGGERs.

PHOTOSHOOT

Took our photo yesterday afternoon. Nothing much to talk about. Just normal Committee-photo and the "KR RAG" letters formed by people.

updates [RAG]

Reached room around 6am just now. Damn shag lar... start work around 1300 and end at 0600. Cool. My brain stopped working around 5am. Just do all the grinding and welding without using brain... swt...

going to sleep now. Sien, no time to do some revision for Jap. Sleeping time also not enough, for me lar...

But glad that we are progressing slowly and steadily, with a bit behind schedule...

21st Birthday

Today its my 21st birthday.

Today, doing RAG and a bit frustrated about the quality of the work we worked so far. Everything seems to like "China-quality". Feel like telling the engineers to redo their work, but feel that shouldn't order them around too much, since they also put in a lot of effort in doing those. I'm not a very very perfectionist person. I keep on telling myself, "its okay, after cladding, everything will look nice". Not sure whether its true or not.

The whole day, I keep on asking myself, "Why am I so easily feel frustrated today? nothing really frust me that much before this. Is it because of my birthday is coming?"

I don't know what am I thinking that time. Am I hoping to hear people discussing about my birthday-is-coming?

Birthday

Around 12.10, We Liam came over to RAG area and asked me to discuss/confirm the design of the float with him. I've been running, or should I say walking from RAG area to Recre Room for quite a number of times to get the drawings, and delegate to the engineers to do.

When we entered Recre Room, the lights were half lighted. I didnt think much about it as I was still a bit frust over Weliam's idea to change the dimension of the float again... I didnt notice the cake, Chocolate Cake which is on the table. I walked to Weliam's table. That time, I heard the rest which is in the room discussing about why bringing me at the wrong time. I stunned, question mark came out of my mind. Then, I remembered that its my birthday already, 10 minutes pass 12. Then I realize Brian was in Recre room. (I think he is here to help sing birthday song for me, or is it coincidence that he came to discuss stuff? Haha, I dont know.) Then, I notice the cake which is on the table... I'm surprised. Really.

Funny.

Haha, actually they still havnt finish preparing, I think. I was brought into the room a bit early. Funny. After that, they asked the rest of the engineers from RAG Area to Recre Room. I was forced to go out from the room and come in again, and pretend that I didnt know about the 'party'.

When I went out from the room, Kheng Guan came, and wanted to enter the room. But they closed the door and still 'preparing' inside. I guess its because its abit noisy, so they cant hear Kheng Guan's call. And by the time they opened the door, and shouted "Happy Birthday"... Kheng Guan stunned. Perhaps all of them also stunned.

Haha.

Kheng Guan turned to me and wish me Happy Birthday. Then he tried to ask Eric for short talk. But I think the room was still noisy, and Eric couldnt hear him. Haha...
In the end, Kheng Guan gave up and went upstairs for meeting. ^^
Super Funny...

They opened the door once more. This time, I walked inside, try to pretend that I'm very surprised. They sang Birthday Song as I walked in. Then I made my birthday wishes. 3 Wishes. Can't mention it out, or else it will not come true, thats what Grandma says.

Then I cut the cake. Then they ask me to choose a girl to "share the chocolate piece on the cake". But paisei lar... In the end, I chose Sean! Wah, he was traumatized completely... Haha. We didnt "kiss" cause he was so paisei. I'm very "sporting" ok. I 主动 ask him to bite the chocolate piece from my mouth. Haha. Funny.
Then, they passed me the Birthday Card - A bear-bear card. We shared the cakes.
Thats all.

Very funny birthday. Very special 21st Birthday. People say u must do something extraordinary on your 21st birthday. But I think this is very special and very "realistic" birthday. Never feel so special and definitely will never have the chance to experience this kind of funny birthday again. Glad to celebrate my 21st birthday with RAGGERS 07/08.

handphone

This year is the first time I celebrated my birthday without handphone since I got a handphone in Sec 5. Bet my friends sent me birthday wishes, especially ZeGanG. But, so sorry, I cant get those messages since my handphone still under repair...
Really appreciate if you all sent birthday wishes to me. Will reply once my phone is fixed...

Guess mom also sent me birthday wishes, sms I mean. Received her message from msn too when I got back from RAG around 2. Think I'm still very tied to mom's apron string. Miss her. And also from my brother and sister too. Vince is the only one who was still online when I come back form RAG. Haha. Glad that got ppl to chat to when I came back, or else, think I'll be very dissapointed lor... haha =p as if =p. Chatted for a while before I decided to go bath and sleep. Yeah, I'm totally stinks when chatting with him. =p

Its really a wonderful birthday. The most memorable 21st birthday!

Put yourself in other's shoe

Everytime I walk, in every step I take, I can feel my unsteady body, it makes me feel weak, I feel humiliated and miserable not being able to do what everyone else is capable of doing. Is that something you can't understand unless you experience it? Even if you can't feel what that person is feeling, I want you to at least try to think in my point of view.
But I think that's hard to do.
Even for me, I only first realized this after it happened to me.

Characteristic

I look up to people with strong personality traits, because I myself have nothing special.
I'm attracted to the idea of each individuals putting out their own unique characateristics.
Maybe even in the world that we live in, our uniqueness and talents are used to make the most out of life, like the movie "007."
The world is in need of people with strong character traits.
However, characteristics only belong to you, so it's not something you shove and give away to others.

I don't care if I'm stupid, I just want a healthy body.

1リットルの涙 看后感

人生

人生道路并不是我们想象中那么平坦。认为自己的人生很平淡的人反而应该庆幸才对。
很多时候，我们需要做出选择，不是对自己的自私选择。说起来很容易，但并不是每个人在面对困扰时，能真正把它展现和应用。人往往会做出觉得对他人最适当，最安慰的选择，但事实上却是安慰自己的自私选择。每个人都有能力为自己做出选择，如果我们凭着自己的思想去替他人作决定，无论再好的决定，都是自私的决定，有为自己利益着想的决定。让他人自己完完全全地为自己做选择，没有遗憾的选择吧！
将来我一定会让自己的孩子做自己的主人，从小一步一步地为自己的人生铺上道路。而我，会成为只是在他背后的一根柱子。


虚伪

人要活得坦荡，能挺胸，直望着别人眼神表达自己的想法。如果觉得高兴，就大声笑出来；如果觉得麻烦，就大声说出来；如果觉得失落，就大声哭出来。不觉得隐瞒自己的feeling很痛苦，难受吗？不觉得在说了“不会麻烦，没什么的”之后觉得很被连累的feeling很难受吗？
最讨厌不把事实说清楚，隐瞒事实的人，包括自己虚伪的一面！


成长

真的有点可怜自己。已经21岁了，但是思想还是那么幼稚，一点都不成熟。比起《1リットルの涙》的作者--木藤亜也，自己纯粹只是“侥幸”能活在这世上，但并不了解生存真正的意义的一个小东西。可悲。

ignoring me?

Why you ignoring me? Talking to you, but you never give any respond. I don't think my idea got problem what. Is it because you die-die want to use your own idea, or you spotted flaws with my idea but don't want to let me know?

Hate people like you who keeps silent, keep ideas to yourself and don't share with other people. (almost, but still not kiasu in this case).

Youth

Just thought of something... I've missed out quite a lot of things during the supposed youth period.

To me, Hall Life is like a second chance for me to make my youth life MORE complete, MORE memorable....

一定！

RAG

RAG 07/08 Finally started.

Today, everyone gathered and enjoy some ice-breaking games.

好奇

有时候总觉得自己很幼稚‘很“慢"，做什么事情都是慢半拍。。。自己真的那么纯真吗？我不觉得咯，只是沟通方面”有进步的空间“。。。或许有点”笨“吧。。。=.='

有时候很想知道别人喜欢我哪一点。。。想知道别人不喜欢我哪一点。。。是否主动联络喜欢自己的人是对还是”臭性(teochew)“。。。或许是很没教养吧，明明对她没感觉，但还主动联络她？！？。。。但，想知道对方到底看好自己哪一点，想了解对方多一点。。。haih,还是静静吧！说不定自己在幻想罢了（不”popular"的人都会幻想吧！ =P），人家只是一时冲动，现在已转移目标，转移到更好的目标。。。是的！静静最好！

多一事不如少一事。。。这是我的原则。。。

对了，今天从电视节目学（不知是对还是错）了一样道理：把关怀放在心里，让别人去感受它，总有一天觉他们会发觉到的！

Pop! Goes My Heart

Pop! Goes My Heart by Hugh Grant
Soundtrack of Music and Lyrics Movie by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore

[VERSE 1]
I never thought that I could be so satisfied,
Everytime that I look in your angel eyes.
A shock inside me that words just can’t describe,
And there’s no explaining.
There’s something in the way you move, I can’t deny,
Every word from your lips is a lullaby.
A twist of fate makes life worth while,
You are gold and silver.

[CHORUS]
I said I wasn’t gonna lose my head, but then
POP! Goes my heart.
I wasn’t gonna fall in love again, but then
POP! Goes my heart.
And I just can’t let you go,
I can’t lose this feeling.

[VERSE 2]
These precious moments, we have so few,
Let us go far away, where there’s nothing to do but play.
You show to me that my destiny’s with you,
And there’s no explaining.
Lets fly so high, will you come with me tonight?
In your dress, I confess, you’re the source of light.
The way you shine in the starry skies,
You are gold and silver.

[CHORUS] Repeat x2
(after first repeat there is is an interupt of lyrics shown below)

A twist of fate makes life worth while,
You are gold and silver.

(second chorus repeat excludes “I can’t lose this feeling.”)

familiar?

Saw the list of 名句 from my brother after one Semester in upper secondary, try to guess which teacher he quoted from:

1. All the things in the lab are mine. If you want to use it, ask me first, ok~?

2. After you came inside the lab, you take your chair, sit down, and keep your mouth shut, ok~?

3. That is why I say you all bodoh. You don't think by yourself.

4. Be careful when you deal with me, ok~?

5. If you want to take, go to the stairs there. *point at the stair just outside lab*. Stand there until the bell ring. You don't bother me, I don't bother you. You happy, I happy, ok~?

6. I don't give face one. Even if you are my friend, class monitor, or whatever. I will also punish you. ok~?

7. Line up before you enter the lab. Is that what you call a line?

8. You come to lab, line up and wait for me to come, ok~?

9. Did I call you to come in?

10. The thing I teach you here is based on my experience. My notes is better than any revision books.

11. You come inside lab. You keep your mouth shut. I want discipline ! Without discipline, forget about studies, ok~?

12. If you don't like me/If you want to talk so much, I can help you get a transfer form to Batu Lintang, or Sungai Maong?

Hehe, for those who spent their upper secondary school time in GRSS, especially science stream, should be very familiar with the quotes above. ;)

I wonder why teachers always say the same thing every year. haha. Its like their script =p

They seems to be very hostile to students, but once you know them, especially if you are going for competition or tuition under them, you will know how friendly they are ;)

Hate those reckless drivers

REALLY REALLY HATE those drivers near my area. The like to speed, ignore red light, and most important: RACING!

Driving back from ZeGanG (guys) gathering at Sharing Planet yesterday night. At the traffic light before MJC round-about, two cars race pass through. Unfortunately one of the car was blocked by the car in front of me, and he couldn't overtake. As a result, he stucked with us (the rest of the cars) at the traffic light.

As soon as the light turned green, he tried to accelerate, but the car in front of him wasn't going any faster. I was just behind him. As the round about there, he suddenly break and U-turned! CHEE-BYE! I was just behind him and he break like that! Luckily I manage to break in time! Really shocked!

IF I couldn't break in time and crash into his car, the first thing I will do is to grab any weapon-potential in car and whack him on the spot!!! Just what the hack is he thinking! (opps, sorry for being so aggressive... haha...)

Saw the news in paper this morning about the accident at the newly-built BDC fly-over. Its not even a day after the fly-over officially launched on 10th. This shows how people drive in Kuching...

Singaporean friends always ask me whether Malaysian drivers drive safely or not... haih, its just very hard to give any comment. The only thing I can reply is: depends on which area you are in... sad...

Back at Kuching

Kuching

Back at home! Took the flight AK5708 from Senai at 1640. Good, very impressed with AirAsia nowadays. They are very punctual. While I can see one of the flight of MAS was delayed when I was waiting for my flight at airport.
Ohya, saw Heng Kiang at airport. He was in the same flight as me! Hmm, what can I say, he become more lasap! Haha! Never shave his beard! =p But still the same Heng Kiang. suan-ed him during the whole journey. =p

Short Break

Well, this will be another short break at home again. Going back Singapore on 17th (shuai's birthday!) afternoon, 1455. Wah, need to really prepare myself for the coming 2 1/2 months of RAG.

License

"Thanks" to NUS Comp Centre, now I cannot download all the anime like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece through torrent (not sure about direct download yet though).

Two of my friends got fined S$200 (by NUS) for downloading Inuyasha and Code Geass. Before this, it was okay to downlaod anime until last month when Odex sent letters to NUS Comp Centre. From what I know, Comp Centre only fine those who downloads Movies and Softwares.

Need to be extra careful when torrent-ing anime from now on. Have to check whether the anime is licensed or not before downloading... or... use other clever method ;)

There are 3 anime licensing company i know so far:
- Odex
- Bluemax
- Innoform Media

With Odex being the main "threat", because most of the popular anime were licensed by them. The others are not so bad. Bluemax licensed Naruto, while Innoform licensed MOSTLY those anime which aren't very popular, and children cartoon. However, Karas, Apple Seed, Ghost In The Shell, Steamboy, are licensed by Innoform, if not mistaken (Luckily I already have copy of them).

So sad. But worry not, I got my own method to get anime!

Year 1

Year 1 officially over

Time flies. Matriculation is just like yesterday only.

Think its time for me to close the old book and start another one. A new book with ups and downs in it, just a plain and simple book. Hopefully this new book can last...


Holiday

I never like holiday since secondary school...

Singapore 'tour'

Simlin Square

Went Simlin Square with Haoxiang, Kim and Samuel today! Kim bought the 500GB My Book from Western Digital! Well, Haoxiang planned to buy at first, but unfortunately Comp Centre sent him 'the letter', the $200 letter, that day, which wipe out completely his plan to buy the $265 WD My Book... how sad. Well I guess Comp Centre is desperately need source of income nowadays... because Zhiwei also got the same email from them too!

WD My Book (box - front)

WD My Book (box - back)
We eat there before walking around in Simlin


Botak Jones, Clementi

Went Botak Jones, at Clementi with Chingi, Haoxiang, Ian, Jospeh, Kenny, Melissa and Xiaohwee. Well, I ordered Fish n' Chips, but only later I find out that the [meat] set is better, taste better than fish n' chips at least. Overall, the food there is quite nice, you can tell by the number of people queuing up for order. Just that I'm a bit suei, cause the fries I got are a bit over fried, the taste completely off, with some weird taste. It turn off my appetite, luckily I only eat it after I finish the fish.

The menu at the counter

The clock just outside the food court

Design?

food court overview. Botak Jones is at the right most.

Menu

Should have ordered this...

Nothing much, just the fork and spoon.


Spent
Fishball ramen, Simlin Square - $3
Fish n' Chips, Clementi - $6
Bubble Tea, Clementi - $1

Win A Date With Tad Hamilton (2004)

Just finished watching this movie in lounge just now. Well, I know its a bit outdated to watch this year 2004 movie now... =p

Anyway, I enjoy the movie very much ;) its very comical, and sweet! Although the plot of the whole movie is very predictable, but I think it still has its own message there, for me.

Well, nice movie! ;)

More to go, since Joseph leaves his DVD collections with me, in my room, for the coming holiday! Yeah!

Freeman

Last paper ended!

Holiday officially begin!

What should I do during the coming break?

- Watch one piece (300 episodes!)
- watch movies: Mr Bean, Spiderman3 [out soon], 300
- play games: DotA (sien leh)
- GO around Singapore, explore the place which I still very not familiar with after 1 year here.
- Update the music in my music directory
- Jogging, build up for coming IBG

- and most important... CHIONG rag! :)







while waiting for the exam result out... really put in a lot of effort this sem... Hope all the hardwork I spent will not fail my expectation... :(

cute!

后感

随众

偶尔跟一跟并不是什么不好的事。什么事都得经历过才能了解透彻；没经验，怎么说，都是逊了点儿。

我觉得凡事开始都得跟一跟别人，看看大家怎么做，怎么想。怎么说，每个人都不是愚痴的。他们那么做肯定另有原因；他们跟，肯定是因为那人/东西有它的好处。

以人为本，怎样我们都不会吃亏。等到自己的翅膀硬了，思想成熟了，那时才开始“有自己的主见”还不迟。相反的，如果刚开始就坚持自己，固执，执着。。。那到了最后恐怕弄巧反拙，无可救药。。。

跟，但万勿盲目地跟。。。

Stephen Hawking

World-famous physicist Stephen Hawking experienced eight rounds of weightlessness during a better-than-expected airplane flight that he saw as the first step toward a trip in space.

"It was amazing," Hawking told reporters afterward, using his well-known computerized voice. "The zero-G part was wonderful, and the high-G part was no problem. I could have gone on and on.

"Space, here I come."
