Hmmm...time flies..I remember last year ard tomolo we were at Elly's place stayed over to celebrate her birthdae. And I was suffering from compulsive sneezing(my own term)
becoz of her doggie's fur. Always happens. Ate breakfast at one of e food courts at Orchard i remember i ate Sheng Mian..dont noe why i remember tt. I only seemed like yesterdae. Maybe its becoz New Year's eve like Christmas were always spent with someone special.
It was 4 years ago(doesnt seem tt faraway). Spent e nite at East Coast together. Of course there were other pple. Pple we left them n played n chatted. Juz e two of us. Up n down e coast. Laughing, chatting giggling, tokking nonsense n doing silly stuff..
These memories something I treasure. Guess these kinda of experiences will nv come again. Went back with lotsa sand in my jeans, some pple like to kick sand at me. That time was e pager craze..page here page there. Haha..
They will nv come again becoz everyone is being so caught up with time. Things to do..can u be with someone n not worry abt things to do or to come??. I worry abt things to come alot. E next weeks til e end of March will be jam packed with missions, outfields n combat fitness training. Something I really dread. I can smell it..its tt near. Its like e year end exams u hate it. It's merciless..but u noe once ya thru e holidaes are near. Same for me. Forgive me if I dont pay attention when ya talking or keep looking at my watch. Every weekend is very precious for me esp. now, got things to do, things to see to..
Watched Under e Tuscan Sun todae. It was a not bad movie. Set in Italy, e scenery from e movie really made me wanna be there. The old architecture, e fields of flowers n e warm orange sunrays tt bounce off e old walls of e small town. Hahaha..e sunlight in Singapore aint tt gentle. I realised e place I really wanna stay was there. Hmmm...beside e sea n e short storey flat roof houses stacking up e hill. Always seen it but didnt noe where it was. It was where "Marcello" stayed..3 hours from Rome..Hmm...some of e actors had lovely blue eyes..
Anyway I realised yesterdae tt my bro's film roll slr camera, is a wide angle len camera. Whoa!!!...So cool. I can like take pictures of e sea or horizon n not really be afraid of not getting e whole picture in view. N e black dot on e len seems to be invisible in e printout so i guess his camera is good to go...good!!!Well it has aperuture range of 2 to 27 n shutter 1/1000 to 30s cool ritez..Anyway e pictures turned out ok but 11 were too bad to be developed e rest were ok. Now I got more confidence in kodak..Haha..
But my mount ophir pictures were horrible. E pics lacked e detail n e blue wasnt as rich...arrgh..most of them were pictures of clouds covering e blue sky..was so disappointed. Next time I m not gonna go to fujifilm to do stuff. Anyway if there are anymore portraits worthy of a portfolio I will go to those in town. E best in town...better show some standard..aarrgghh!!..Imagine someone ruins e best pictures u ever taken, u will sorta feel e way I do..

Stay
Lisa Loeb
You say I only hear what I want to
You say I talk so all the time so
And I thought what I felt was simple
And I thought that I don’t belong
And now that I am leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong
’Cause I missed you
Yeah yeah, I missed you
You say I only hear what I want to
I don’t listen hard, don’t pay attention to the the distance that you’re running
To anyone, anywhere
I don’t understand if you really care
I’m only hearing negative: no no no no
So I turn the radio on, I turn the radio up
And this woman was singing my song:
Lover’s in love and the other’s run away
Lover is crying ’cause the other won’t stay
Some of us hover when weep for the other who was
Dying since the day they were born
Well, well, this is not that
I think that I’m throwing, but I’m thrown
And I thought I’d live forever, but now I’m not so sure
You try to tell me that I’m clever
But that won’t take me anyhow, or anywhere with you
You said that I was naive and I thought that I was strong
I thought, “Hey I can leave, I can leave”
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, ’cause I missed you
Yeah, I missed you
You said, “You caught me ’cause you want me and one day you’ll let me go
You try to give away a keeper, or keep me
’Cause you know you’re just scared to lose”
And you say,
“…Stay”
You say I only hear what I want to
Finally, dont feel that uneasy telling people tt my cameras' $1.1k but got scolded today by my bro. He said 1.1k is too much for a 2nd hand camera. My argument was tt I used e canon G5 which I wanted was not as good n very complicated to use. But still haizz...made me think abt whether its worth it or not. I still think its worth it. I like e design n e ease of use n e very vibrant colours it produces. Watever. Hey I only paid my fren 200 bucks I haven paid e full amount so..hehe~
Oh ya saw this girl in flowery berms at e train station on e first day. She like us was lost didnt noe have to go thru e immigration stuff..I wanted to chat with her dont noe why but didnt lahzz...She looked like a backpacker..muz be flowery berms..haha...okok..sweet dreams..Feels good to be at home.
To Mt Ophir n back
Hmm...wat a great trip it was tho I'm physically aching everywhere...Thighs, calf, shoulder, neck all hurt.
25th Night
4 hours train trip down to Segamat. We were all chit chatting on e train almost all e way. Had a minor diaheorra on e train muz be the dinner. Luckily they sold those stomach pills on e train took e whole satchet n I was ok. Upon arriving at Segamat at ard 12 midnight we ate supper at e stall outside e train station. We wanted to head down e foot of e mt ovia cab but e cab uncle got attitude dont wanna reduce e price to 30 initially 40..So instead we slept on e bus terminal on its 2nd level which was a hawker centre. Felt like a poor beggar when nowhere to sleep. Anyway e place was quite clean. But there was this guy who would shout "Bak!!" all nite. WE couldnt really get to sleep. In e morning that guy asked us for cigarettes n some money we refused. He was quite irritating. He introduced himself as a ex-teacher. Haiz poor thing dont noe wat happened to him.
26th
We headed downstair n almost immediately we got a cab. The uncle was quite good. He brought us to a place to eat den down to e mt. He agreed to pick us up e next day 1330. So we began our climb. We registered. Den waited 1 hour for e ranger to check us in n stuff. We read e descriptions b4 tt. 64th highest mountain in Malaysia but 6th most difficult n most climbed. E first part was 532 steps. We tot tt was hard tt we tot wrong. E climb got gradually harder n harder. We stopped at e waterfalls there. To play ard, take photos and wash up. We were in high spirits. Tho e climb was difficult some parts muddy n dangerous. There was no safety, like once u fall off something, tt's it. Checkpt 1 to 5 was quite ok lahz. The worst parts were cehckpts 5 to 8. Wahzz..all e almost vertical climbing. The tree roots were like almost vertical have to climb up n there was 3 or 4 slippery rock surfaces to climb using wet n slippery ropes tt evertone uses. There was one in particular super high n it was on e side of e mt so u can see like a trees below. We were supposed to campsite but decided to camp on e summit. Nicer mahzz.. Finally we reached e summit. There were clouds all over. U will feel on top of the world. U can see very far n e cloubs go on forever. It was beautiful. But hard to take pictures becoz of e cold n the clouds always covering e things u wanna take. E clouds there moved very fast. We ptitched our tents after a while of exploring n slacking. Well. Camping on e summit was a bad idea for tt night. Coz it was like gonna rain dense rain clouds covering us. WE were freezing cold. Cooked our dinner in e cold. Hmm..i brought e least food only 5 snicker bars..well Jeremy's worst he didnt bring anything helpful. Hehe Anyway e tent we pitched e one I, Kelvin n Jeremy slept in, e fly cover kept coming off, n e winds so strong we couldnt get to sleep. We had this fear of being swept away. E other tent haha...my ex pl sgt didnt not pin e pegs down n haha..it almost flew off luckily Jeremy was quick enough to grab it. By 8 plus we went to rest. Wanted to lok at e stars but it was too cloudy n too windy. I went over to the other tent to chit chat. we lamented on our sad love lifes n suan Mark's dad coz he's a professional liar. He's e world famous geomancer haha....We laughed at how one of e other pl sgt asked for his service n had to pay e market rate even tho he was in charge of mark's pl in camp. It was like shoving money into mark's wallet haha...Went back to rest after tt. Couldnt sleep at all. Kept checkig if e fly cover came off. Or tt e zip we open becoz of e wind being too strong...Scary manzz..U n me against mother nature..2am our sgt. tot of a good idea change location to abit farther down at least e wind wasnt too strong there.
Daybreak.
Had a hard time waking Jeremy, we packed shop n eat breakfast shivering. The wind was just too cold. Had maggi mee n uncle toby's n some mocha..oh mocha was last night. Anyway it was very cold lahz. I took off my windbreaker to start moving on but put it bac k on e enxt momnet. WE walked to checkpt 7 b4 removing our windbreakers. E journey down was alot easier. We were almost running at e easier slopes. Abit late for e cab already. Going down those steep slopes were scary esp. when u dont noe how to climb down. coz e footing isnt as steady as climbing up. Ur weight's going down..Climbing down back to e 532steps I fell down at e steps. Too slippery..almost whacked my head against e railing luckily my bag protected me..We reached e foot of the mountain. Took a shower snacked a bit n talked abt our experiences. It was a very great trip even tho it was very cold n tiring...Esp when climbing up. U get really tired n out of breath n looking up u see so much more..wahzz..dao bi..E cab brought us back to e train station had lunch at e same place we slept. Funny thing all e stores sell e same thing..Took e train back to woodlands. Didnt wanna take down to tanjong pagar another 45 mins trip. No way. We shared a cab from woodlands home...
Home sweet home...wee!!!!! Tired..
Maybe I would wanna do it again maybe not.

Cant wait to go to Mt Ophir but its aches to noe we are moving off on Christmas evening. Christmas to me, no matter spent with firend or loved ones has always had a special place in my heart. Its not like my frens i am going eith are a bore..But haizz..dont noe how to explain..
To pretend tt everything is ok
That nothing ever happened
I cant
I smile and try to hide e pain
But my heart aches each time we meet.
To watch love just slip through my fingers
The way fine sand does
No matter how much I try
I ask myself what did I do wrong
But I dont want to hear it
Dont want to guess
Dont want to know
I am tired, spare me the heartaches
Guess its no one's fault
Just my wishful thinking.
Love Alone
No one would love me
If they knew all the things I hide
My words fall to the floor
As tears drip through the telephone line
And the hands I've seen raised to the sky
Not waving but drowning all this time
I'll try to build the ark that they need
To float to you upon the crystal sea
Give me your hand to hold
'Cause I can't stand to love alone
And love alone is not enough to hold us up
We've got to touch your robe
So swing your robe down low
Swing your robe down low
The prince of despair's been beaten
But the loser still fights
Death's on a long leash
Stealing my friends to the night
And everyone cries for the innocent
You say to love the guilty, too
And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness
So I'm working tearing back the roof
And the pain of the world is a burden and it's my cross to bear
And I stumble under all the weight
I know you're Simon standing there
And I know you're standing there

They have been married for two years. He loves
literature and often posts his work on the net, but nobody ever
reads them. He is also into photography and he handle their wedding
photos. He loves her very much. Like wise with her. She has a quick
temperand always bullies him. He is a gentleman and always gives
in to her.
Today, she's being wilful again.
Her : "Why can't you be the photographer for my
friend's wedding?
She promised she'd pay."
Him : "I don't have time that day."
Her :"Humph!"
Him : "Huh?"
Her : "Don't have time? Write less of those
novels, and you will have all the time you need."
Him : "I... someone will definitely recognize
my work some day."
Her : "Humph! I don't care, you'll have to do it
for her.! "
Him : "No."
Her : "Just this once?"
Him : "No."
Negotiation's broken. So, she gave the final
warning: "Give me a Yes within three days, or else..."
First day. She "withheld" the kitchen,
bathroom, computer, refrigerator, television, hi-fi...
Except the double bed, to show her "benevolence".
Of course, she has to sleep on it too. He
didn't mind, as he still has some cash in his pockets.
Second day. She conducted a raid and removed
everything from his pockets and warned, "Seek any external help,
and you bear the consequences."
He's nervous now. That night, on the bed, he
begs for mercy, hoping that she'll end this state. She doesn't give a
damn. No way am I giving in, whatever he says. Until he agrees.
Third day. Night. On the Bed. He's lying on the
bed, looking to one side. She's lying on the bed, looking to the
other side.
Him : "We need to talk."
Her : "Unless it's about the wedding, forget
it."
Him : "It's something very important."
She remains silent.
Him :"Let's get a divorce."
She did not believe her ears.
Him : "I got to know a girl."
She's totally angry, and wanted to hit him. But
she held it down, wanting to let him finish. But her eyes already
felt wet. He took a photo out from his chest. Probably from his
undershirt pocket, that's the only place she didn't go through
yesterday. How careless.
Him : "She's a nice girl."
Her tears fell.
Him : "She has a good personality too."
She's heartbroken because he puts a photo of
some other girl close to his heart.
Him : "She says that she'll support me fully in
my pursue for literature after we got married."
She's very jealous because she said the same
thing in the past.
Him : "She loves me truly. "
She wishes to sit up and scream at him "Don't I?"
Him : "So, I think she won't force me to do
something that I don't want to do."
She's thinking, but the rage won't subside.
Him : "Want to take a look at the photo I took
for her?"
Her : ".....!"
He brings the photo before her eyes. She's in a
total rage, hits his
hand away and leaves a burning slap on his
face.
He sighs. She cries.
He puts the photo back to his pocket. She pulls
her hand back under the blanket.
He turns off the light, and sleeps. She turns
on the light, and sits up.
He's asleep. She lost sleep. She regrets
treating him the way she treated him.
She cried again, and thought about a lot of
things. She wants to wake him up.
She wants to have a intimate talk
with him. She doesn't want to push him anymore.
She stares at his chest. She wants to see
how the girl looks.
She slips the photo out. She wanted to cry and
she wanted to laugh.
It's a nicely taken photo of herself. A photo
he took for her. She bends down, and kissed him on his cheek.
He smiled. He was just pretending to be asleep.
"You learn to love, not by finding a perfect
person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."
Hmm...sweet story i read from togoparts forums...=)
In e hands of the expert she went. "Wat happened to her? U built it up urself?" I looked away shyly without answering. With patient n gentle touches he started to fix up the problem....Well he wasnt so gentle with his words but den arent they all e same...=)
I am convinced. I should get the experts to help me with my bicycle even if it costs some money. At least e adjustments they make, make the difference. Me one lost idiot trying to fix e prob compared to their years of experiences. I pale in comparsion. Leaving the bike shop I felt challenged to takin up a job as a bike mechanic again. Help e kids on 2 wheels with their darlings n see them smile. =)
But i noe its not a good plan, cant survive. Well...for now i will e patient with my bicycle n slowly fix it..
Completely spooked...
Watched a video on e company com. I juz happened to pass by. Everyone was curious abt e video clip coz it had like a very weird title. An e video. A man pinning another man on e ground with his foot.. E victim screaming n struggling. E man takes out a dagger. Pierces straight thru e neck n den up n down b4 finally cutting his head off. Iwas totally disgusted!! How could someone ever d/l something like tt??. No one in e coyline has this kinda violent tots. At least i think. ut e bigger picture how could someone do this to his fellow man n think its funny n circulate rd e net. Juz thinking of it juz scares me...watching a real man die in front of ur face....dont think its fake looks so real...eekss..cant bear thinking. How to feel safe living amongst perverse people with violent tenacies. N thieves ard, my frens got their money stloen last night. When they were all asleep, e theif took their money from their unlocked cupboards. I tot we reached a stage we can trust each other with our stuff. We are back to sq one again. Wonder who's tt thief, hope its not one of us...

Hmmm..remember last last week I had an off day. I went out for lunch with my mum den to clementi big bookshop. My mum mentioned tt I would pester her to read Jack n e Beanstalk to me over n over again. Over n over again. Many many times more than a thousand times she said. Funny how i had no recognition of that. I only remember asking her to tell me stories b4 bed. She would tell me of her childhood. Miss those days. Those days little worried me..As long as Mummy or Daddy was ard everything was going to be fine.
I thank God for my parents. They may not be perfect. But they r wonderful. =)

This song has serenaded my whole company ever since coming back from Thailand. E thais brain washed us, this song was played almost all day in e cookhouse.
Kit Teung Chun Mai Wae-Laa Tee Ter- Taxi (translated)
Verse
Do you miss me when we don't meet?
Do you miss me when you are lonely?
Do you miss me when there is no one to argue with?
When you got out somewhere with no shoulder to cling to. Who do you miss?
Everytime it thundered loudly, you would jump on my lap
I feel bad that I was cheered up and amused by that
I know I'm no good. I'm not warm like that.
This time it thundered, I didnt see you. Who do you miss?
Chorus
Hey when we are far away for a long time. I'm not sure, but we may forget each other
Could you please answer me that you miss me
You don't have to be sweet. I just want to ask you.
Can you answer me? Answer me first, that you miss me
Just like I miss you and wait for you to return
Verse
Because I miss you everyday. From the moment I wake up in the morning
I turn to look at the picture of us on the head of the bed
The radio continuously plays songs that you loved to listen to time and time again
Though I dont like the songs I listen to them because I miss you
Chorus
Hey when we are far away for a long time. I'm not sure, but we may forget each other
Could you please answer me that you miss me
You don't have to be sweet. I just want to ask you.
Can you answer me? Answer me first, that you miss me
Just like I miss you and wait for you to return
Chorus
Hey when we are far away for a long time. I'm not sure, but we may forget each other
Could you please answer me that you miss me
You don't have to be sweet. I just want to ask you.
Can you answer me? Answer me first, that you miss me
Just like I miss you and wait for you to return
Hmm...miss me??..hehe~ ok gonna fix my com to e best of my ability...nitezz..

Last night I was super pissed. After our anniversary dinner we had to stay back to do stores until like 11 plus. I was supposed to meet up with Vince after the dinner but cannot. Have to take a cab back midnight surcharge. Why did they make up book in early juz to tidy e area n not do e stores. We can multi-task wat. We dont have single tacked minds. Its e 2nd time already this week. Wednesdae also made stay back so late had to take a cab back. 10 each person on both occasions. My pocket's been burnt already.
Why cant they do this earlier. Everything so last minute. I noe e commanders got cars but u are forgetting ur men who need to get home n dont have a vehicle especially those who live on e e other side of e country.

Where's e love -Black eyed peas
What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how a n**** works and operates
N**, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our own direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive to lovers bound
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Don't Speak -No Doubt
You and me
We used to be together
Everyday toghether always
I really feel
I losing my best friend
I can't believe this could be the end
It looks as thought you're letting go
And if it's real, well I don't want to know
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Dont tell me because it hurts
Don't speak
Iknow what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me because it hurts
Our memories
They can inviting
But some are altogether frightening
As we die both you and I
With my head in my hands I sit and cry
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
It's all ending, I gotta stop pretending who we are
You and me
I can see us dying..are we??
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Dont tell me because it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
This song always pops out, when i am feeling really down, heartbroken. I hum e tune...with my head in my hands i sit and cry.
Hmm..its getting late..nitezz...dont worry. My eyes arent red not tonight...
Friday's e Anniversay dinner for my unit. We got a song we have to learn. Its quite nice.; Juz e guy tts singing it isnt. Anyway tt was on cd so i dont really noe who's gonna sing...Here it goes...
I am, i do
Pressing thru the mire and mud into the jungle depths we trudge
Armed with sharp ears n eagle eyes, and stiletto to defy
While others ar home lie in rest duty summons us to test
A test of courage skill amd might, blood to rage and power to fight
Let me bear the wings upon my chest and be worthy of my flag
In all I am and all I do, unto our home I will be true
For you my country let me stand to keep the peace with my own hands
Teach me to serve and guard and love
For the honour and glory of our beloved land
Sailing through the sea and skies, airborne rangers brave the fight
Fighting by day or night, we'll jump from any height
Red berets set to win us own goal with the iron sacrifice of body and soul
To bear in silence while we bleed for the other's greatest need.
Nice song ritez??. Makes me proud of wat i am. I remember clear when I got my vocation assignment.I was to report at Hendon camp for some tests. I was really worried. Cdo...crazy..wat if they were all crazy with blodshot eyes. I used to sscareed of pple with those eyes. Asked my parents they were all quite worried but my bro told me to take it as a challenge. If u drop out halfway its ok. At least u tried, if u got e beret after e training u achieved something. Thinking over, I decided to give it a try. I really had no achievements in my life den major ones i mean. This will make e difference i told myself. On tt day, the interview. What do think if u were to be a cdo??.
Me: It would be a challenge. Not everyone gets to be one.
I dont noe if my OC den e interviewer was impressed but i got in. Haha..n guess what all my platoonmates said no they dont wanna be....haha..unlucky suckers...
To wear e red beret is some very special..very special. =)
"Silver wings upon my chest
Show them tt we're the best"...
Of course its not only my own effort. =)
Got some nice songs from No Doubt's new album been listening to it all week. Gonna get bored of it soon if i dont stop listening. Anyway suprised i m back on a Wed nite?? Coz we got off dae hehe. E taxi back costed a bomb. Been a fun week. Got a chance to try a biathlon todae. It was cool, but e running back quite painful esp. e start of running back both my calfs felt like cramping. But it was fun lahz...watching e inter coy soccer n rugby..my coy is really e true blue sports coy can play n win or at least get e top few in e competition. =) Well Done!! Yaaa...hehe~
Running- No Doubt
Run, running all the time
Running to the future
With you right by my side
Me, I'm the one you chose
Out of all the people
You wanted me the most
And I'm so sorry that I've fallen
Help me up, let's keep on running
Don't let me fall out of love
Running, running, as fast as we can
Do you think we'll make it?
We're running, keep holding my hand
So we don't get separated
Running as fast as we can
I really hope we make it
We're running as fast as we can
I really hope we make it
We're running, keep holding my hand
So we don't get separated
The future...
well e chorus repeats a few times more
hmm...days pass like a flash. I really dont noe wat to think or say. All I want to do is let God have His way.

Saturday, November 29, 2003
Juz came back from Thailand. A trip i will remember for life. Fatter already from all e coke n ice cream. Its very cheap there. 17baht for a cornetto tts like 60cents. Worse is e snack shop is juz next to our bunk so convenient. Didnt add in much of our training. So it seems like a holidae but its not. =)
Brief outline:
Night b4 setting out- We sneaked out to Zouk for a mambo session. We wasted e night shaking but werent wasted. Ate prata at Simbang Bedok b4 heading back. Money minded tenants only waiting for ur n bugging us to pay for e pratas. They were slow in service n irritating. Woke up at 6 flew over.
Day 1- Woke up uncomfortable thirsty n tired. By e way we flew by military plane. Didnt write much dont really remember wat happened. Guess we settled down n waited for e next day.
" Goondos using mosquito nets". Tts wat i tot when we all we setting up e nets. Coz obvious e Thais dont use them.
Day 2- Parade- Fell asleep again. Dont noe why i always do. Visited e Thai army musuem n understand their history. VEry impressive. If ur museum is small u should see our heritage display its not even half e size.
Everyone's talking abt e canteen owner's daughter. We called her Rosemary. Didnt see anything special abt her. Think its her eyes. New discovery Clifford's mom is a thai so we got an interpretor. No one knew at least not me n my platoon.
Went to e gym at night n practised my tkd n muay thai i learnt there. Den power-run ard e track. Its scary running round e track with no lights. U cant see wats ahead.
Day 3- Was training e whole day. At night we were admiring e stars. Jiaming den showed us his Astronomy club knowledge. Didnt noe he was in e club n was e president.
Day 4- To draw e curtains is to close or open e curtains??.
Sunday. Tour to Lopburi Town.
Stopped at e aids hospice there. Its a budhist funded one. Went into e terminal stage wards where all e patients were dying soon. All skinny. Sculptures made of bone resin outside with scary images of pple suffering n crying out for help. A musuem filled with dried dead bodies all of e patients who willingly give their corpses to be used for educating e public abt e threats of aids. A sad reminder tt there is so much more to e world than my eyes can see.
Den we headed for Lopburi town. Walked aimlessly coz my grp left me. They didnt check back. Walked ard wif Kuek n Liow. Nothing much to see. Played with e modes on Kuek's camera. SOLARISE IS E BEST. E image focused is blurred at e edges so cool. Met p with another group with a lead..e Godpa. Clifford's grp. Took a cab down to Big C. Its like their Carreforre
Day 5- Jungle Survival Training.
Taught by this senior. Ate fried bugs. Leaves. Bamboo steamed rice. Fruits of a diff. kind. Found out abt diff water sources. Display of e diff snakes of thailand. Whoaz. There were e normal pest snakes. To cobras to even e king cobra. I have nv seen a cobra b4. It looks like a normal snake but once flared e shape comes out. Snakes cant see under left rght only in front of them. I used to love snakes when i was a kid. Had this book abt them tt i always flip thru again n again.
Lunch was to be cooked by us. We took e stuff but after a while e thais took over. They were very skilled in it. Lunch was delicious but juz too much had to try n finish everything.
On ourt way back passed a plantation full of blossoming sunflowers. Super beautiful. It was very near our dropzone. E riggers got sunflowers from one of e soldiers. So sweet. Anyway e tonners in thailand rule e road. Juz horn n e slower vehicle will get out of e way n they travel at super fast speeds. not like singapore only 50km/h. Slow.
" Love me Love me
Say that u love me
Fool me Fool me
Go on n fool me. "
Seldom hear anything english.
Imm Leow- full already.
Day 6- Jump
Blue skies beautiful scenery but i really couldnt be bothered worried abt e landing phobia from my last jump where i injured myself. Landing very far from e pick up point.
Quite cool. N sweet, past e sunflowers again. Now i noe why Karene like sunflowers so much. E thai CO quote: Welcome to e Royal Thai Airborne Family wahzz...felt so great.
Day 7- Demo
Mad scitentist did alot of special things. U can nv ever do without any officier or in charge intervening n saying its too dangerous. There anything goes. As long as no one gets injured.
Trip to Big C: got to noe this thai soldier. Pakin who resembles e guy in e gods muz be crazy. N has a high pitch voice too. His obession with going to Big C..." Big C big C"
Tot e thai soldiers were going to bring us ard but haiz only a few. Nv really get a chance to really interact with them. Nothing much watched e band outside perform. Walked ard. Sit in Black Canyon Coffee n rot. Rot..Black Canyon's alot cheaper here.
Sianz lost my shampoo n shower foam, left it in e bathroom.
Hmmm....nv write much already coz my pen was running out of ink n its mostly training. N i was as usual sleeping during e lectures.
Col 4:6 " Let ur conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so tt u may know how to answer everyone"
Was thinking wat to join in Uni. Wat cca...
"Since u died with Christ to e basic principles of this world, why ,as though u stll belong to to it, do u submit ti its rules? Do not handle, do not taste! Do not touch!"
Col 2:20-21
Went down to e flea market.:
So big n interesting. Food, shirts, clothing, hardware tools, bike spare parts, weaponry, puppies even. They even were selling a cross bow n even scopes for sniper rifles. Bought a t-shirt too small. N a checked one which i like alot. Wanted to buy Karene a red cross t-shirt. Writes a universal sign n a print red cross in e middle. Too bad only got male size. Dont tink she can fit. Hmm...Dont buy medium there. Its too small. Seriously. too too small. Waste money.
Free day spent planning for e outfield. Commander level none of my business.
Paul's longing, to see e Thessalonians:
" For what is our hope, our joy, or e crown in which we weill glory in e presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not u? Indeed u are our glory n joy."
1 Thess 2:18-20
1 Thess 4:3-8
" It is God's will tt u should be sanctified: tt u should avoid sexual immorality; tt each of u should learn to control his own body in a way tt is holy n honourable, not in passionate lust like e heathen, who do not know God; n tt is this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told u n warned u. For God did not call us to be impure but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction dos not reject man but God, who gives u his Holy Spirit. "
1 Thess 5:16
" Be joyful; pray continually; give thanks inm all circumstances, for this is God's will for u in Christ Jesus. Do not put out e Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to e good. Avoid every kind of evil."
=) to be continued...quite tired...
Session 2
Nv write much, writing from memory. N also missed out on adding e training coz its not right to disclose...
I will go down with this ship
I wont put my hand up n surrender
There will be no white flag upon my door
Im in love
Always will be
Sunflower Cairnval-
Went to visit e carnival on e its last dae. Quite interesting like a pasar malaam. But nothing much all selling e same thing. Got very little things of sunflower. Mostly food n clothes, I walked abt e carnival 3 times coz i didnt wanna go for a massage n e bus will only come at 2300 wich was like 5 hours of walking.
Closing Ceremony: Parade.
Den played soccer, i went to do stores coz i dont like playing soccer. E stakes were beer. By e time i went there. Many of them had drank alot already. Had to finish up some of e bottles to save e others. Den we changed headed to e cookhouse for farewell party. It was really a party. With a live band. The thais were drinking alot n inviting us to join them. Good drinkers they all. I accepted some but left for e dance floor to escape e drinking. Danced alot n ate alot to try to keep sane. At e dancefloor one of e older soldiers was asking us to finish up bourbon coke. Drank n played our hearts out. Many things happened tt nite. E casuality rate increased from 0 to 3...haha..
Next day tour ard Lopburi town
Spent e whole afternoon exploring e town. Found many back allies with flea markets n a hidden market selling all sorts of stuff plus a big bike shop there..They were selling a singapore jersey very nice but i didnt buy no point. Walked ard. Went into May n Mild a coffee house. Chatted with e owner. A pretty ger in her early 20s. May was her name we all assumed. Of course Ivan was head over heels over her.
Dinner at a restaurant OC's treat.
Got live band. Pestered them to play hotel california n winds of change. They only played hotel california. E guitarist really impressive us with his guitar licks n solos. He even was soloing n tapping n talking to e waitress at e same time soo cool..Anyway e dinner was ok lahzz.. E place was exotic but full of mosquitoes. N outside was a murky pool we all tot was empty juz a decor but we were wrong There were fish in there. Very big onez..they resembled seacows but had flat faces n stripes on the back near their tails. Dont noe wat they were but they were creepy nv wanna be in e same waters as them wateva they are.
After e dinner we headed to The Bank e nightclub there. A live band again but this time we were bored. E performers were quite irritating.
Next day Bangkok!.
Went shpping at MBK our first stop we spent alot of time there. Vewry very big. Then Siam Discovery Centre n Siam Center. Wat can i say. Shop lorzz...nothing much.
Haizz...now i m back at home. I miss e times there. Life is so carefree there. People so real, true. N e gers quite pretty. Hehe~
I hope i will nv forget these daes. Wonder wat to send over for xmas we should
after all they were great hosts...

Suddenly interested in bmx riding. Tink i giving up hope on doing street on a mountain bike. Feel its so bulky like my body frame so big n hard to whip ard. Haven achieved much besides pogo n a little tackstands. E bmx having a small frame size ncompared to my body size. Its alot easier to flick n to jump ard. My interest for cycling doesnt come from tour de france or e tiring circuit training up n down bt hill thought they are all very inspiring to me. It was X-games tt got me interested in cycling. With its flatland bmx n street bmx competitions. E big air..e cool grinds n stalls n tricks. E flatland tricks tt really amazed me. Tts also why i like inline skating coz of aggressive inline..also showed in e x-games. N who can ever forget skateboarding. Tony Hawks was at his prime at tt time. Remember he did a 960degree tailgrab to beat e record if i am not wrong. Haha..excuses excuses. Nothing comes without practice. They can do it with their bmx i can attempt to on my bicycle. Well, maybe after a few years..advised my cycling karkey not to get another bicycle. Not worth it. One is enough. No one is usually satified with wat they have. =)
My next investment a pair of gloves..haha..n better brakes.

Last night my fren asked me a very question which puzzled me n also upset me. He asked me why in e Bible e pple then werent allowed to animals with split hoofs n some other stuff but now there seems to be no such restrictions n y e Sabbath dae is on a sundae when it should be on a Saturday coz then Sundae is e start of a new week??. His question was tt Christians nowadays are not living accord to e Word..or wat it seems. It wasnt said so politely. Anyway i was shocked coz he's a Christian juz tt he dont go to church frequently. I could only quote him from Acts God told Peter's vision of God instructing him to kill n eat chapter 10 but tt was to show tt e Gentiles were unclean n tt he should spread e gospel to them. I smsed Yahui n she gave me a possible reason was tt being Gentiles we arent bounded by e Law. like e guys dont have to be circumised. Coz whether Gentile or Jew e most important is not e laws but lving e Lord. I paraphrase again..i explained tt on our calendar Sunday's e 7th dae so its e Sabbath dae. But Sundae's e first dae in e Jewish calendar. He asked then are we comromising to e way of e world. (paraphrased). In my 20 years of existence, except in my adolescent years, i have always had issues with e Bible especially e old testament but i didnt really ask pple coz i usually cant form up wat i really wanna ask. Answers were slowly revealed after sticking to church all these years. But they haven been fully answered. I dont remember e questions. But like wat Pastor Loon says u believe in a pack of lies??. Some of these issues are packs of lies. We juz cant see it, i see why pple pray for discernment. I thank God for good frens like Vincent n Pee tt really kept me in church when i really felt like leaving. I always ask myslef if i m giving up on our friendship? Tt year i didnt leave..
Well as we were watching tv e pple ard den started asking similar questions, but it werent as serious as this. Vivan Hsu den appearred on Tv si zi loo koh..e discussion changed to love n gfs. Wat would do if ur gf was a pornstar..aa promicious when younger..all tt..its a ego thing, tts wat i felt. Love is not self-seeking..well, as long as she changes..=)
Haunted by my fren's question i tossed in bed trying to recall wat i have learnt all these years. I couldnt remember much.
Joshua 1:8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

Madamesoille(cant remember how to spell)- Miss

hmm..cant remember e book's back in camp..haha..free french lessons found in in e ps bunk n noone wanted it. Quite interesting but very hard to learn especially since its so similar to english but pronounced differently. E pronouniations are many exceptions..cheem..
Got an off dae tomolo. Dont noe wat to do. Got nothing to do todae. Juz lazing ard..Writing my blog..filling up some quiz or questionaires on friendster. Wat to do?? Where to go??.. I dont noe...E roads are wet, dont feel like cycling. REad...hmmm...i got some books to read...

Went out wif my brother!!!
I went out with my bro!! E first time in years!! This afternoon after reaching home, he told me he wanted cut his hair. I went to e salon with him as I need to cut my hair too coz of the thailand trip dont wanna trap too much heat but mostly coz RSM has been pressing us to. Anyway we hopped into his car waited outside e salon for half an hour, b4 e hairdresser came to serve us. We chatted a little, i brought home e tot Uni life is fun why waste my last years of study becoz of money n reject hostel life??
I wanted to cut spiked hair style. Watching my hair fall n get shorter n shorter isnt too fun. Well for ur info, its my first time going to a barber besides e one in my camp. U ask her cut wat style she wont understand seems e same to her hehe~. Anyway ya my mum usually cuts my hair. E hairdresser did a good job but it was hard figuring out wat he was trying to do until he finishes. Some wat like a piece of art.
After tt we headed e Far East as my bro wanted to get a crumpler bag. Seedy 3 e model..so cool black in colour. He used my Get a Life card added 8 bucks to my credit. Need 3 more dollars n i will draw even with e cost of e card. Anyone need to get anything from 77 street??.
Shopped ard n changed money for my thailand trip.
After tt we headed to Clementi to buy game n he bought a neverwinter nights expansion set. after tt we went home to pick up our parents for dinner at Soup Restaurant. My mum's birthdae dinner. Soup Restaurant's food is terrific. Like wat my bro says common but delicious. It is very very hao ci.
My mum wanted to get a shaver for stitch so went to e pet shop. We took some time looking at e doggies they had there. They had boston terrier, border collie, corgi, papillion chihuahua, silky terrier, lazy jack russell, cocker spaniel n a super fluffy pomerian. Left empty handed as there werent enough choices. Tt sums up my day todae. Didnt go for cell or rockclimbing coz i didnt wanna feel anymore cramped up e way i felt tis week when everything juz suddenly comes flying our way. =)
Riding back on a taxi with Joseph n ziJun n Ronson. I suddenly remembered how my guitar "Jasmine" came in my life. One fateful Chinese New Year, my brother after doing lotsa research decided to buy a Takamine Jasmine from Davis guitar i tink. After collecting e guitar, he went down to my cousin's house for family reunion. Left e guitar with me as he hurried to join my elder cousins. He told me to leave it somewhere. I left it leaning against e wall n went off doing my stuff. It dropped on e floor n e neck was broken into two i wasnt aware. Until after e whole thing, my bro realised it was broken when he took it out. He was heartbroken n very angry at me but he didnt scold me. I could see e fury in his eyes. My uncle conpensated him but giving him money to buy a new one. He bought exactly e same one. Bro was okno major money losses. After playing for a few years he gave up playing guitar n now puts alot of energy on soccer. E guitar is now in my room. Rusting n rotting. Hehe~ Lotsa scratches on e pick area coz of kor kor. Alot of others becoz of me, I usually put it on a stand beside my bed n in e morning i accidentally kick it or knock it off while sleeping. But I like this guitar. So nice polished black, with jasmine on its machine head n clear crisp sounds from its sound hole. It beats any Yamaha hands down. N wats best it looks like e guitar Bon Jovi brings for his concerts. Its juz a different model same brand. =)
Juz took my basic theory again...yesterdae. Got 4 mistakes already tink I m gonna fail again. I hope not, but i feel alot more confident of passing then e previous. My frens gave me lotsa advice. Each gave alot of advice n tips while i was studying in bunk. My mind was divided learning french from a coursebook i found in e office with cd n basic theory. Wahzz...french very hard to learn...really very difficult.

Leaving on e 13th for Thailand. Feel like so much I haven done yet. But den again I am going going for 2 weeks. Juz hope our very extra OC wont make us do double jobs like he always does. E best thing is i can skip ippt for 2 weeks more. Dont have e drive to train or e determination to cross e finishline faster den anyone. Feel I have proven myself dont have to try so hard. But if I dont i have to run a zillion times until i can. I can i used to. I used to love running now i hate it to e core. Pple change.
Some things never change, Some things do. -Matrix
Haven riden my bike for weeks now. Its rusting. My chain keeps getting sucked. Help!!! Hmmm. Yesterdae went to Seng Chu Heng. Guess who i saw. Yan!! Yan used to e mechanic from dirtwerks. I used to patron tt shop alot. Den he went to help out at e bike shop outside church. Remember e bike i rode n posted its pics on my blog tts his. Chatted for a while, poor thing from holland have to travel to tampines. Tink he's a aprentice coz they made him paint e backgate.
Haizz...Asked mum whether i could learn bike license for e umpteen time. She said no again. I had nothing to say against her. She asked me if I wanted to torture her by making her worry abt me. The way my brother made her when he got his bike. Haizzz..Dont wanna make her worry abt me. But using a bike is very practical at our age. N also i been wanting to ride a scrambler for ages. =(
Basic theory on fridae. Been reading it thru alot of times. But still not too confident abt passing. Hope i do. Really.

Not in e mood to do anything.
Juz now was trying to practise my trials riding gave up within 20 mins. Was trying to jump from one end of e court to e other. Still not jump far n dont have e stamina to jump repeatly. Wat's worse is e bike is now very heavy coz i changed to a heavier handlebars n tires. More control but less snappy. Haizz.. How to jump up stair when i cant even get e basics ritez? Tot i was going somewhere, feel like i starting from square 1 again. Dont have e heart to practise, need inspiration.
I have a jump on mondae.
Combat jump. Jump with my pack n sbo. Very heavy. Tts not wat i am afraid of, I am afraid of landing wrongly. The last time I jumped i landed on my butt, coz my knees gave in n i fell sideways. Tink i didnt lock my kneees tight enough. Scared of looking out of e jump door. N tinking I cant control what happens next besides looking out for each other n trying to land properly. Unlike our 1st few jumps, we were not afraid but u grow more n more afraid when u dont practise jumping for a long time n when slowly ur fren's stories of how they got injuried seep slowly into ur brain. U tink gosh! i may die there. Break a hand or leg. E perils of jump abound from twists to collisions to bad landings. Maybe I should close my eyes lock my knees tight n land. Tt way i wont reach for e ground n risk a toe injury n probably can land properly. Wish me luck!!. Can feel abit of how terminally ill pple may feel when e doc diagnosed them with e diease. I haven done many things, i am not done, not so soon...not so soon.

Haha get to sit in e car. E sentry guard rifle salute, OC salute me..can inspect e parade n haha ask them questions to make them breakout in cold cold sweat.
Todae was e welcome. As i watched from block i could see why e RSM insisted on us instead of our juniors. Their drills were so sharp n so precise n they all looked so tall n hansone whoaz..Drool. Wet sideways as my ex csm n Ps would say. Make me wet. Hahaha...Good job!!!
All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why
[Chorus]
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me
I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind
[Chorus]
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
[Chorus]
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell
Dont mind me i m juz a little unwell...a little unwell fool..=)
Kissing a Fool
You are far,
When I could have been your star,
You listened to people,
Who scared you to death, and from my heart,
Strange that you were strong enough,
To even make a start,
But you'll never find
Peace of mind,
Til you listen to your heart,
People,
You can never change the way they feel,
Better let them do jus twhat they will,
For they will,
If you let them,
Steal your heart from you,
People,
Will always make a lover feel a fool,
But you knew I loved you,
We could have shown them all,
We should have seen love through,
Fooled me with the tears in your eyes,
Covered me with kisses and lies,
So goodbye,
But please don't take my heart,
You are far,
I'm never gonna be your star,
I'll pick up the pieces
And mend my heart,
Maybe I'll be strong enough,
I don't know where to start,
But I'll never find
Peace of mind,
While I listen to my heart,
People,
You can never change the way they feel,
Better let them do just what they will,
For they will,
If you let them,
Steal your heart,
And people,
Will always make a lover feel a fool,
But you knew I loved you,
We could have shown them all,
But remember this,
Every other kiss,
That you ever give
Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man,
One you really can surrender with,
I will wait for you,
Like I always do,
There's something there,
That can't compare with any other,
You are far,
When I could have been your star,
You listened to people,
Who scared you to death, and from my heart,
Strange that I was wrong enough,
To think you'd love me too.
I guess you were kissing a fool,
You must have been kissing a fool

Memories from a distant past.
If i tell u e truth
Will we be the same?
My heart is itching to noe e answer
My feelings are unstable
Coz my heart is fluttering
The dream of u & me
fade away when reality seeps in
I rub my sleepy eyes
Ur image becomes nothing
more than a distant memory
Falling in love is great
But e feelling of helplessness
when tt e fire is dying
is heart wrenching
E feeling tt Love doesnt reward or reassure isnt
My heart in turmoil
Such are e battles i fight each dae...
=)
Had a great dae. Tiring tho. Haven been sleeping for e past few daes.
Deepa-vince n pee stayed over. Slept on e sofa uncomfortable.
Sat-stayed over at cousin's place playing winning 11.

HAHA..tts me!!. Primary 5 or 6. Dont remember getting black belt. I tink it was for graduation or something. I always failed my black blet grading. Yes, I learnt tkd when young. But i dont like to fight, n it didnt help me much in confrontations but it did keep me healthy n very light-feeted. Now i feel like a tonne.
Clumsy n big...

Itchy n runny nose. My doggie has been running round n round on my bed. I didnt notice she shred so many fur until i see the fur stuck to the mattress. Wahzz. Now i have a runny nose n itchy nose bridge. Haizz..cant seem to get rid of e itch. How i am going sleep on e same bed (she sleeps on e end of bed). How?? Will surely wake up sneezing..My doggie demands alot of attention. I was reading a book on aquarium fish in front of my dad's fish tank. Staring at e beautiful tetras n not so beautiful but very well taken care of Discuses..Stitch(my dog) den put its head on the book, n i couldn shift its head coz its neck was very stiff. Its very strong u see, very muscular. Den I said shoo..go away!. It sat beside me n used its paws to tap my thigh n lick my hand. Hai yozz..Cant read or do anything in peace on e floor when its ard.
Hmmm i realisd i can play songs alot better in e key of F. I was feeling very low tis afternoon I guess coz i was very very bored. I picked up e guitar n went to e smokers corner( e abandoned one along e corridor) n strarted strumming. I was playing Kid rock. Den I tot of one song Purify my heart. N i tried playing it in F. I could with little difficulty. Den after tt song i connect other songs to it. N actually play e song without noeing e chords usually i have to read e chords n play.. but i did i did I DID!!!!...I noe i not very pro like Jeremy who has a ability to listen n play almost without even noeing e song. But i am happy with juz tt. I noe how the sounds of a scale work together. hehe~
I m on e outside
I m looking in
I can see thru U
See ur true colours
In side ure ugly
ugly like me
I can see thru U
See e real U -Outside by Staind
I can't remember the last time we kissed goodbye
All our I love you's were just not enough to survive
Something your eyes never told me
But it's only now to plain to see
Million disguise when you hold me
and I'm free
Chorus:
There's a light in your eyes where I used to see
There's a pain in your hearth where I used to be
Was I wrong to assume that you were waiting for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
Bridge:
Shoud I keep on waiting
Or does Love keep on fading away
Fading away..
e other lyrics i have no idea but i have been singing this to me since yesterdae.
this is e last chorus rather sad one
There's a light in my eyes
Its too bright to see
And a pain in my heart
Where u used to be
Coz I was wrong to assume u were waiting for me
There's a light in ur eyes
Did u leave them like burning for me.-Blessid Union of Souls Light in ur eyes

yea..Changed my handlebar liaozz..Point racing. A whole 28.5 $45 of course could have gotten Azonic pdw for $60 but mah fan have to go HL or TEF. I bought it at dirt werks cycle. They decided not to collapse their business. Gotta sell off all e 2nd hand parts n import stuff in. Hope they import some very rare brand. Then it will be super cool. A distributor near church hehe~ i will give support hehe~ but i pauper anyway also cannot spend so much.
Realised all my testimonials in friendster show tt i am bike siao..I protest!!!. I am not bike siao..=( really!!.. i milded down alot. Tis e a sport for e rich not paupers.
A hundred days have made me older Since the last time that I saw your
pretty face,
A thousand lies have made me colder, And I don't think I can look at this
the same
An all the miles that separate,
They Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face
CHORUS:
I'm here without you baby, But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby, But you're still with me in my dreams,
And tonight, there's only you and me yeah.
The miles just keep rollin', As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated, But I hope that it gets better as we go
hooh yeah yeah.
CHORUS
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love,
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done.
It gets hard but it won't take, away, my love, woah oh Woah wo-oh
CHORUS
- 3 doors down Here without U
In love with this song.
It really describes wat i am feeling now.

Went cycling with West Bikee yesterdae. Finally, these guys are great!!..All with e same interest..freeride..tho i am juz quite new to tis. I like hehe~. Quite fun went ard Jurong looking for drops n stairs n bunny hopping here n there...They were crazy to clear a 3 storey high stairs at NTU. With e rest of us chickens watched in fear. Hey i had to go for excursion on e next dae k. Quite fun..esp watching Ben wheelie expertly down str roads. Watch Andy n Jonathan wheelie upslope downslope..do stoppies. N Archie doing crazy stuffs.
Todae.
Went to BT for hiking with children for a home. Very fun walking up e steep slopes of BT no ranks were involved our OC became a kid. There was this little ger who sticked with me.. Her name was Jinru. On introducing ourselves we realised we have seen each other b4. I tink she went for the children's dae party. Talking n helped her all e way up e hill n passing checkpoints. In our conversations i fixed a small part of the jigsaw puzzle. She had been put in e home on e 10th, her birthdae n has been trying to adapt to the home but the others are not helping her feel welcomed alone with not many pple to talk with. Being botak many of my coymates tot she was a he. But she already told me in e beginning. Feel really sorry abt how she is being treated n probably misunderstood. Can see e cold angry stares from her frens. Y do they do this. Anyway when she is still smiley n giggly, reminds of someone. Someone i been missing alot lately. This someone made me rethink my goals my dreams n wat i wanna do with my life. Every night i thank the Lord for that someone. Someone very important in my life.

Hmmm...my fave song now.
Fruits of e Spirit
Gal 5:22-23 says: "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness n self control."
Notice tt love is e first fruit mentioned. That's because love is the key to all e other fruit if the Spirit.
Donald Grey Barnhouse observed, " Love is the key. Joy is love singing. Peace is love resting. Long-suffering(patience) is love enduring. Kindness is love's touch, Goodness is love's character. Faithfulness is love's habit. Gentleness is love's self-righteousness. Self-control is love holding the reins."
hehe =) cool ritezz..=PpPp
Lurve lurve lurve...
Hmmm...dont noe if this blogger is spoilt i cannot see my blog but can see other pple's one..
After watching Romeo n Juliet on tv e other day, i picked up my 3 shakespeare tragedies book n started reading R n J again..its in my bunk.
In a moment she realised tt the dark haired young man was beside her. He toucched her hand, then apologised earnestly.
'My lips stand ready like 2 blushing pilgrims, to smooth away my rough touch with a kiss, ' he said.
Juliet: Good pilgrim, u do wrong ur hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands tt pilgrims' hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmer's kiss
Young man: Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
Juliet:Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer
Young man: O! then dear saint, let lips do wat hands do; They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
Juliet: Saint do not move, though grant for prayer's sake
Young man: Then move not, while my prayers' effect I take
Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged. (kiss)
Hehe~ got alot time on my hands...doing cos duty...

Had e weirdest dream todae. I dreamt my dog was a female ger. Some tcs actress n when i asked it to give a cute face, it will give one super adoreable one. Haha...haha..really..The strangest thing is i remember e dream, i hardly remember wat i drean abt.
Now my bags are packed
Im ready to go
I am standing outside ya door...
Help!!! I dont feel like going back to e monotoneous life in e camp!!. 3daes of freedom made me too comfortable n used to living at home i dont feel like going back. Anyway my 1mths plus of tennis attachment felt so much like i ord-ed already haha. Can u imagine no more guardduty, falling in, nitez off, restictions, n mostly freedom!!..Cant wait.
First dae of power todae. Played indian poker with e forfeit as a mug of sparkling snake water or water chosen by the participants. It was quite fun esp. when Qiuque got e forfeit hehe~..Den i follwed by a session on Hard work by Uncle Fu-man. It was on facing difficulties..n facing up to them. Den we broke for discussions my group had Derek n Sam n Nat n me.. we were quite clueless abt wat to discuss as it was quite hard to explain our experiences at work...esp. since i have nv had tt experience b4. sam ended up asking me alot abt guitar n where to pick up lessons n so on. Hmmm...nvm..1st time ya..=)
After tt Zr, Dan, Vince n me hanged out at Orchard, ate beef noodles from Scotts suprisingly easy to eat coz e last time i tried when i was young i complain e sauce was too thick. Den we aimless walked ard Fareast tt area. It was quite boring, Zr was complaining Shuhui's absence makes it boring n tt if e next few Sundaes like tt, can die haha...
I also felt so..haha...=0
Gotta go..Updates next sat...
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
"Yeah sure, what is it?"
"Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.
"If you must know, I make $20 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.
Looking up, he said, "Daddy may please borrow $10?"
The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work long hard hour's everyday and don't have time for such childish behavior."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. May be there was something he really needed to buy with that $10, and he really didn't ask for money very often.
The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep, son?" he asked
"No Daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on your earlier," said the man.
"It's been a long day, and I took out my aggravation on you.
Here's that $10 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling,
Oh, thank you Daddy!" he yelled.
Then reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy and hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
"Papa"
Haha..a slip of tngue by Nick haha.... Elly's gone. Nick handled his emotins quite well but he told me it was quite painful. I empathize with him could see his eyes redden at e departure hall. Hey she will be back in 2 mths!!. Two more months wont feel a thing one. ehhzz..tink he will get used to it.
Been tinking alot esp. on e bus or train but somehow forgot.
Tink its got something to do with WW2 e attrocities e Japs committed. Been reading "Rape of Nanking" E descriptions of how e japanese killed e chinese n used dead ple as practice targets really grossed me out. Been wondering how would e younger generation feel abt it esp e japanese...will they be ashamed, indifferent??..hmm...cannot really read e book for long some of e sharings were juz too evil too scary, to even tink they were human...
Borrowed 4 books from e lib.
Rape of Nanking
Mere Christianity
Readings from Wuthering Heights
only reading one rape of nanking...

Strong Recommend:
Infernal Affairs 2.
Super cool show. The plot twist n turns n can leave u wanting more. Fully understand e term e plot thickens now. It really does..But wat really hit me was in many occasions in e show the characters sae they have reached a pt of no return. Some things we do can leave us at e dead end, or a blows up e bridge we juz crossed. Well..Shwan Yue n Edison acted quite well...
Juz Sent Shuhui off at e airport.
Byezz Shuu. Pls pls take care yaself n dont save n scrape so much tt u give urself no joy or shortchange yaself.
Guard ur heart. Something Uncle Fu-man taught me on e bus. E world so fast. If u dont stop n think abt ur life u see urself spend time on things tt have no meaning in e end. Set ur priorities rite.
Proverbs 4
23" Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life. "
words Yahui gave to me, i still keep tis verse deep in my heart.
Shuhui, Dont let anything destroy ur spirit. =)
dont noe when ya gonna read this but ya...I pray for e best for ya..

F.W.N.R
(fridae westside nite ride)
8.05pm. Pacing ard e house. "Should i or should i not go??. I dont noe anyone there." ASk my dad for an option n he said i should try. Time den 8.16pm..okok little intro. fwnr is a ride wher e all e pple in e west gather to ride together. They usually meet at Adam Rd n their dist travelled is at least like 50km 0r more..
8.15pm. Had 45min to rush to Adam to meet them. Usuallly it takes me 50 to reach chuch so i told e guy i will be late n off i went i cycled really fast. Clocked like 25km/h ave. tts super fast. Anyway i arrived there like ten mins early. Went to buy a 1.5 l mineral water coz i didnt bring any. Shook hands when everyone.
When i arrived there were like 6 plus pple. Wahzz. All had very nice, pretty bikes. But wat caught my eye was e Santa Cruz HECKLER in e midst of all e other bikes. WAhzz..2.5 or 6 inch tires. I tot this guy wont be able to catch up. It was great, they were super frenly.
Have to seen group of pple cycling on e road with their blikies on???.
I did. N was part of it. Was super cool to like see e lights flashing. Like some christmas celebration. Haha. From Farrer we headed down to Holland V den to West Coast Highway to Pasir Panjang to Tuas. 50km.
Objective: Tuas
Travelling down west coast highway was ok but at Tuas wahzz..tts e real killer. There were many super long roads n e pple like to cycle fast i was like left behind. =*( so inferior ah pengs beat me hehe~ but ya they all quite old at least 30 plus. Only like 4 young adults out of like 15. Anyway ya e others joined us at West Coast there.
Tot e ride will end fast. Past industrial factories n all tot i was in Tuas but i was wrong. Wahzzz...dont noe tuas so long onezz. Alot of long roads n upslopes. So where near reaching e end I almost cannot take it liaozz...thighs feeling very weak n hands hurt.
Tuas got so many str. N super long road i tink they can land many planes there. It can be an emergency runaway.
30 years old n married wif a newborn
No i didnt try to pick up an auntie. Remember i mention e SANTA CRUS HECKLER??. Well e owners turns out to be a really frenly person n can chat lot of stuff coz he also into freeriding. But i was shocked when he told me his age along e road. 30 married with a newborn n intro freeriding. He's not ur regular vulgular n hardcore rider. But a cultured n composed one. Anyway his rig also quite amazing Heckler with Manitou Sherman n Sun RIms-Single Track with 2.6 no for ur normal road riding but he did very well catching up n also keeping pace. Dont noe wat's his secret n all e other's secret, cycle so long still not much signs of fatigue.
Mobil station
We stopped there. That was like our second break. Time to interact. I chose Poser.(hecl\kler guy) n this guy callled Jian Sheng. I realised we are all into freeriding but they two not so hardcore, me a bit more but juz no guts to do so n that i haven learnt e tricks of e trade. Hey!! Getting there soon k?? Some more time. N i tried Poser's bike at e first break n tried again on e second. E sus was like 'swosh" so plush even e rear shock...swosh so cool. But heavy lahz but not as heavy Yan's bike..e pics in my last week's entry. Anyway riding his bike was like changing from a horse to a bull. His profile was so much bigger. Handlebar wider by 3.5 inches. e frame so big n fat, E rims so wide. Very diff feel from mine.
All e best in ur freeride endeavour!!!.
Game over
I left e group so after e break. But not after long roads n long roads n long roads again.
Reached Jln Buroh turned in to pandan looop was a quite found my way back home.
Teban gardens to Jurong Town rd to Jurong EAst to Jurng West.
I muz say those uncles are really very very fast. Who impressed me most in Jeremy e organiser whoazz..his stamina tink quite good..can cycle n turn back to check on e rest n then keep up i dont tnoe how.Yawn...tired. Nitez.
FRame chck in case frame breaks:
Got money- Santa Cruz HECKLER(me dream for quite sime time)
Not much money- Identit Dr Jerkyll, on-one gimp
No money-Da Bomb cr8
