Be fortunate to be busy...

so many things to do, so little time. need to apply for all the nus thingys, need to read up on the modules to be taken, need to go for driving lessons, need to go for tuition, need to work...

barely have time to myself these days, barely have time to rest, think about stuff, make decisions. which might not be a bad thing coz thinking too much means most likely it'll remain as thinking and not physically putting it in place.

so now i just do and think less. =)

take one step at a time, and everything should come into place.

RANDOM: received a msg from my JC2 student yesterday evening. at about 5.30, immediately after his physics mid-year exam. the contents: 'I made progress! Can complete more than half the paper. Thanks for your clear and concise notes! They were very well-written. Hope I can get at least a C for the mid-years. Thanks for everything!'

feels good to be appreciated. the difference between teaching tuition and working at iras =X

黑裙子 - 张芸京

作词：林文炫 作曲：胡彦斌

天边的那朵云要去哪里流浪
如果有答案要记得跟我讲
谁的爱 放在假日的市场
讨价还价拍卖着它的重量

穿着白色西装的紫乌鸦
站在那里不停地鼓掌
就要下雨 你的自尊要逃向何方
是男是女 随便你要怎么想

只为他穿过一次的黑裙子
深深锁在记忆的墙
写好的遗言 也要用力唱
祭拜我们为了爱的疯狂

只为他穿过一次的黑裙子
还在风中荡
黑指甲 短头发 有些话 不用讲
为爱 我就是这样

祭拜我们为了爱的疯狂

只为他穿过一次的黑裙子
还在风中荡
黑指甲 短头发 有些话 不用讲
为爱...

like this song...cool falsettos!alot more adlib can be added, but it would be less sincere. 张芸京's voice isn't fantastic, just that it sounds manly and feminine at the same time. just about suit this song =P.

Twins, with different character.

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.

Kahlil Gibran

i think i know where i must go and the path i must take.

eliminate doubt, and have faith, confidence and most importantly, perseverance.

take it away

interesting gathering =)

went for 4D gathering yesterday evening. saw alot of friends that i hadn't seen in a long long long time. like 4.5 yrs? although most of us went VJ after VS, but didn't really have the opportunity to talk to them after graduation.

talked alot, ate alot, laughed alot. it's amazing the way people change as time goes by. those happy-go-lucky ones have matured, those quiet reserved ones have become more outspoken and engaging in conversation. even the mugger(s) have broken through their cocoons!

but of course there are some things that DON'T change. the brilliant physicists remain brilliant (one ASTAR and one DSTA scholar from our class sias!), the lame have sharpened their skills and become LAMER. lol.

good luck in your studies, my friends! cya guys in sch! and take care, especially those going overseas =P.

anyway, evil plans ahead at work. jio-ing people to leave together on 17th. hehe =P.

even if all else fails, i can still trust my trusty legs!

this was the scene at city hall when i went home after meeting up with nic.

WTFH.

apparently some problem with the train in front so no trains can enter city hall. looking at the insane crowd at the wretched mrt station, i bolted out of city hall and walked to bugis mrt to take a bus.

yea. WALKED to bugis mrt. about 2 kilcs away. LOL.

at least i know now that even if there's some problem with public transport, i can still WALK to my destination. Or at the very least find another alternative, faster route that doesn't involve squeezing with 100 strangers in one freaking mrt carriage.

All hail The Legs!

Work was seriously unbearable today. had this irrepressible urge to sleep, especially after lunch which was an unbelievable 11am. for the first time in 8 months it's at 11am! but couldn't sleep due to a potent combination of non-stop calls and lina finding me for a rebounded referral. somemore no buddy = no fun and jokes and the inevitable ranting after calls = TOTAL SIAN-NESS for the whole 9 hours.

can i re-employ the part time comedian? =X

A Simple Farewell

how sad...within 3 working days, 4 TCOs have left.

feel so old now. like when they joined i was around. and now when they resign i'm still around=.= but oh well we have to move on sooner or later, just happen that they leave earlier than me =X

keep in touch, my friends! and cya guys soon! =D

Each blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life, its strength; and so is man rooted to the land from which he draws his faith together with his life.

Joseph Conrad

I remember...will you?

He who lives without dreams lives without a purpose in life. He lives... but soul-less and disillusioned. No dream is too far. Dreams and notions of grandeur are what drive us and keep us going. As long as you dare to dream... nothing is impossible.

My Wishlist:

1. Get into Dean's List and stay there.
2. Obtain a scholarship in a field that I'm interested in.
3. Further my singing dreams (recording a single?) =D

I believe in myself.

as the pool of temp staff continues to dwindle, the office gets colder and colder, the laughter that used to reverberate around the temp staff corner gets softer and softer with every passing day, the less familiar faces i see everyday, the more depressed i get.

miss the days that we would talk too loudly and get shushed by the permstaff. miss the days that we would rant about unreasonable taxpayers. miss the days when we would discuss about everything under the sun. miss all the gatherings we had to celebrate someone's birthday.

i guess we all have to look ahead while keeping these memories permanently locked in our minds, remembering the fact that we made so many friends, shared so many common memories, had so much fun together.

i won't forget, and i hope nobody does.

hmm. so maybe i am not the loner i thought i was.

theng and daryl likened leaving the organisation to ORD. but there's one huge difference. when i ORDed i didn't have a single bit of nostalgia or sadness at leaving. but here...is a whole new different feeling. at least there isn't anything called 'extras' meted out here, nor fat smoking CSMs shouting at you to get a particular job done (and recently I received a letter from MINDEF warning me to report any overseas trips to them or else... =X typical of SAF). compared to army, this is literally an earthly place. not heaven yet (I define heaven as a place where you can get paid for doing nothing), but hey, it's a place for human stay.

the party has got to end at some point, and it seems like it is about to end. but i'm sure we can continue this party, sometime, somewhere, some place, later in the future.

all the best my friends. until the next party =)

超人---五月天

词：阿信　曲：冠佑/阿信

世界如果被残酷攻击
只要给我一个电话亭
把内裤当外衣
如果你能够开心
展开披风 带你飞行

谁赐予我这一身 无助的能力
神也不能阻挡 你想离开的心

为什麼拯救地球 是那麼容易
为什麼束手无策啊 我和你的爱情
为什麼我能飞天 也能够遁地
为什麼我却没办法 长驱直入 你的心

曾经你赞美我手臂 逛街多能提
日日夜夜贴身 保护你
最凶狠的怪兽 也不能与我为敌
那为何害怕你的泪滴

我给了我这一幕 难堪的结局
谁要这样超人 连自己也救不起

为什麼拯救地球 是那麼容易
为什麼束手无策啊 我和你的爱情
为什麼我能飞天 也能够遁地
为什麼我却没办法 长驱直入 你的心

为什麼拯救地球 是那麼容易
为什麼束手无策啊 我和你的爱情
为什麼拯救地球 终於完美结局
为什麼 我只能够
眼看著爱燃烧成 灰烬...

世界如果被残酷攻击
谁来接手我的超能力...

totally love this song! although it is actually very sad =P.
the story of a hero who can save so many others, but can't save himself. he despairs, but life must go on, he must trudge forward, he must carry on his sacred work...

but is he happy?

因为...你的背影 是我最美丽的所有...

因为---范玮琪

因为想一个人 而寂寞
因为爱一个人 而温柔
因为有一个梦 而执着
因为等一个人 而折磨
因为想一个人 而解脱
因为爱一个人 而宽容
因为有一个梦 而放纵
因为等一个人 而漂泊

因为想一个人 而寂寞
因为爱一个人 而温柔
像夜的朦拢
你的深情难懂
我的世界因为你而不同

因为想一个人 而解脱
因为爱一个人 而宽容
像风的自由
你的深情难留
你的背影

是我最美丽的所有...

a good song can lift my mood extremely fast.=)
heard a contestant on xing guang sing this song last night. found it kinda familiar and went to find it. love the lyrics...very meaningful...

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.
