Sun kissed

Canoe polo wasn't too bad. If not for the unforgiving sun.

Election is tomorrow. Good luck to all.

And when the moon was full

The rain these 2 days makes it super duper nice to sleep. And it doesn't help when you are not getting enough sleep.

Mid autumn festival was just over. No thank you to all the fancy moon cakes with all those delicious and different fillings. Be it those ice skin or traditional. No thank you very much. It just doesn't appeal to me.

The highlight of the week was when I saw that family at the open area near my place. The parents brought the 2 little ones out for a night of lantern fun! Haha it was really cute to see the 2 young kids walking around with their traditional lanterns. And since that area was a little dark, it was a stark contrast with the surrounding

It really brought back my own memories of the past mid autumn festivals when I was younger. It all seems so familiar yet I know it won't come back to me. Not in the near future at least.

Bleahs...


Dinner's just arrived. Ciaos.





*You can always retake your exams. But life, you only have 1 shot at it. *

<("")>

Initially when That Thing You Do seems so significant to me. You can Say Anything to me because you can be sure that I will Always be listening.

After awhile it is never about the Endless Rain anymore for I know you are not so cruel to Crucify My Love for you. We exist in A Love Before Time and you were Born To Be My Baby.

If you would allow me to Stay just a little bit longer, just so you don't have to see me leaving you.

It is All About Lovin' You Everyday for you know I'll Be There For You

But after awhile we realised that life is never a Bed of Roses and perhaps we should have lived our lives in a Blaze of Glory.

And when I sing you the Last Song, I know it is time for This Ain't A Love Song.

Thank You For Loving Me, once.

It's been some time

You Are the Index Finger

You are ambitious, driven, and capable. You aren't afraid to take responsibility for your actions - or place the blame on whoever deserves it. You are honest, free thinking, and objective. You see things in your own way - and you aren't afraid to let everyone know about it. You get along well with: The Thumb Stay away from: The Ring Finger

What Finger Are You?

What Your Soul Really Looks Like

You are a warm hearted and open minded person. It's easy for you to forgive and forget. You are a very grounded, responsible, and realistic person. People may not want to hear the truth from you, but they're going to get it. You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you. Your near future is likely to be filled with great successes and accomplishments. You just need to figure out how to get there. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.

Inside the Room of Your Soul

OK I did this before last time. But still. Remains the same I guess.

You Are a Log Ride

You prefer to live a fairly calm, relaxed life... with a few surprises thrown in. You don't tend to get yourself worked up easily. You can roll with what life throws at you. In relationships, you are steady and solid. You maintain a pretty broad perspective on what's going on. That's not to say you can't get swept away. You're emotions run as deep as anyone else's. Your life seems like it has been remarkably easy so far. But that's due to how you manage it. You never stretch yourself too thinly, and you think out your decisions carefully. Taking the time to enjoy each day is important to you, and you don't let your emotions rule you. You stay the course and do what's right... knowing it will all work out in the end. At your best, you are tolerant and understanding of other people's quirks. You take "go with the flow" to the extreme. Even if you don't like where you're going. At your worst, you repress your feelings and end up being a little tightly wound. You definitely have some explosive emotions that occasionally come to the surface!

What Carnival Ride Are You?

When you offer help to others, do you stop and think about if...

You are in need of help somewhere in your life also?

Chill

Sitting in Coffee Bean, having a sandwich and an White Chocolate Ice Blended, reading my book, listening on my iPod and typing away on my laptop is seriously one good day.

The bad thing is that the power point beside me is too low for me to plug my charger into, and my battery is running flat soon. So got to go soon.


I m halfway done with my book. Though it sounds intimidating, but it really is a very casual read, The Economic Naturalist. I know it sounds like the many similar books out there, The Undercoved Economist, Freakonomics and stuff. But it is different. I guess. And it is because I have not finish the other 2 books, which are sitting comfortably at home inside the shelf.

Looking back in time

I walked home from Bishan J8 today after dinner. Along the way, I passed by both my now defunct primary school, and my kindergarten.

Looking at the sign on the door to my kindergarten, it reads, "Ednoland, Classroom of the future." It might sounds cheesy to some now, but that was how they marketed the place then. And 16 years later now, the signboard still looks unchanged. I still remember it was this non air conditioned place in K1. And slowly it began to change, as with everything else.

As the number of people I got to know increased, the memories of the older ones began to fade. I am sorry if you did not make a significant impact in my life back then, you are probably forgotten now. And those good friends that I had back then, we are most likely separated and distant now. Friends who have been through the 2 years, and another 6 years of primary school. 8 years of friendship. Disappeared like that. Perhaps we were all young then and we did not know the value of it. Still looking back at it, it is 8 years. And 8 years is half the time I am looking back now.

There is just so much memories. All the days of playing table tennis whenever we have time, games of rounders, the most amazing game in my opinion, which we came up with. Going for classes, be it make up lessons or higher Chinese class, all sweaty and stuff. We had our fair share of fun. And remember all the celebrations for Teachers' Day that we used to have? Decorating the class, drawing on the blackboard, yes blackboard with all the dusty chalks! Damn old school right? The cakes that we would buy for the class, and most of the time unable to finish it. It was always that few people who made such things possible. And thanks to YC's mum, I will always get to have a free McMuffin breakfast once every week. Shall not explain why, it just happened. Haha. Pretty blessed to have met her somewhere in my life. She is an amazing lady who is perpetually nice to everybody. I haven't seen her in like forever, though sometimes my mum bumps into her and they chatted a bit. I hope she is doing fine. :)

And who can forget going back during the holidays to help Mrs Ng? Helping her with all her AV stuff in the AVA room, and of course she always took us out for lunch after that. And sometimes we would pop by her place before she sent us home. She is really an amazing teacher. Quite a pity and an unset that she had to retire because of her health problems.

I walked the exact same route that I used to take back home. Back in the days where an Extra Value Meal was really extra value at $4+, we had our fair share of laughters and shit stirring, yes you heard me right, when we made our way home after a fun filled day in school, that few of us. 1st April 1992 was a special day. It wasn't just April Fool's Day. :)

The days of being innocent and carefree have already past us by. And as we grow up and learnt how to prioritise, we begin to understand why some things are not featured anymore. And one of those might be this. I am not sad that we did not really keep in contact after 1991, or even 1997. What I thought was that phase had ended, and it is time to move onto another platform.

I always believe there is a plan for everyone of us, a master plan of events. If we are bound to cross paths again, we definitely will. So till then, all the best to everyone in the class of 1997. You have not been forgotten, just that we are now all busy with our own stuff. When the time comes for us to meet once again, I am sure we will. Somewhere, somewhat, somehow.



Craps I must be shit bored to go and recall all these. Time to hit the sack. Nites

Moment of madness

It never fails to amaze me, no matter how many times I've seen it.

The way that people only hog that few 'popular door' at the train stations while behind other doors, there are ample of space.

Besides.

RunAbout was shag. I know it is too late to say anything but, underestimating your enemy is something that you should never have done. Haha. Was expecting a better run from myself. Oh wells. :)

And I have no idea why this song is playing so often on my iTunes and iPod.


Evanescence - Bring Me to Life

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

All of this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Back and drained

I am sure school is sucking the very life out of everyone now.

Bleahs... At least there is night bike this sat to look forward to.

But, diving is fun~! Whee.. A cheaper alternative to my my sky diving. So I just gotta make do with it first.

Anyway, Dayang dive trip photos are up on my Facebook account. Quite lazy to upload here. Blogger is kinda laggy when it comes to photos and pictures. So yups.




Can someone tell me all these things that I am going through is normal?

Blood donation drive on Wed. Collected my bike too. And gotten some barang barang..

Pocket big hole.. :(

Excel

Love hate relationship with it.

Bleahs..

With power comes..

The physical embodiment of decisive action based upon knowledge and aimed squarely at specific goals.

While firmly set in the material world, he none-the-less has a powerful spiritual connection as well.

His knowledge, wisdom and skill are all encompassing.

He is complete.

His power as a creator is unmatched on our earthly plane.

He is self-aware and unafraid to act.

His enormous strength gives him the freedom to act as he chooses.

However, responsibility comes with that freedom.

Because he is not bound to the restraints of others, he must choose how to act.

The question that always lies before him is should he act morally, or forsake ethics for personal gain?








If you have the power like him, what will you do?

Colorgenics

At this time you are feeling 'uptight' and you are urgently in need of rest and relaxation; but perhaps even more than that you need to overcome that feeling that you have been 'hard done by' and treated with a complete lack of consideration. Maybe you have, but whatever may have been the cause of your inherent anxiety, you regard the situation as intolerable. Your are, however, sufficiently competent to turn that situation around - you have overcome similar problems in the past, and really this one isn't too different.

At this time you 'need to be needed' and again you 'need to need'. You have had this feeling for some time now and you are looking for someone who could share a close bond in an atmosphere of shared intimacy. You have the belief that with the right person you could conquer the world.

The way things are, you feel that you are stuck in a rut and there is not much you can do about it. You feel frustrated and inhibited but if you can find a way to let yourself go, you may find that things aren't quite so bad as perhaps you thought they were. One consolation is that since you are an extremely emotional individual, with the right person you may be able to release some of that frustration and tension with some mutual tender loving care.

All of the stress and strains resulting from disappointment have led to agitation and anxiety. You have been going out of your way to make a good impression, but you have reservations as to the likelihood of succeeding. You feel that you have a right to accomplish all that you set your mind on but you have become helpless and distressed when circumstances have gone against you. The idea of failure is most upsetting and this can even mean utter dejection. You see yourself as a scapegoat and you feel everyone in your sphere of influence has tried to take undue advantage of you. You are trying to convince yourself that your failure to achieve standing and recognition is not of your making but indeed of those around you.

Since in the recent past all of your hopes and aspirations have been denied you, you are now convinced that the future will hold nothing but anxiety so therefore 'why bother?' You would love to get away from it all, to escape from the trials and tribulations of this mundane existence and fall into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, which will protect you from the lack of appreciation and give you the chance to start afresh.



I dont know how much u believe it, but it is rather true for me now.

Love me tender..

Love me tender, love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.

Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfill.
For my darlin', I love you,
And I always will.

Love me tender, love me long,
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part

Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfill.
For my darlin', I love you,
And I always will.

Love me tender, love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.

When at last my dreams come true,
Darling, this I know:
Happiness will follow you,
Everywhere you go.

Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfill.
For my darlin', I love you, 
And I always will.

Desperado why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late



This might be closer to heart. But it does not feature figuratively.
