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...
Wednesday, November 12, 2003
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.
