Thursday, July 27, 2006 To my disgust, 1 second costs $100.. Never mind, I should have one more chance at glory.. In other news, the ants in my room have committed a heinous act. They've invaded my Oreo O's, and that is a blatant declaration of war! It's time to bring out the heavy artillery. I shall teach them to fear my room, and ME! Tired.. Monday, July 24, 2006 Another interesting article from xL's blog. Teaches us not to be complacent on our blogs -- it is, after all, on the public domain. Anyone can read what we write. And we wouldn't know they've read it. Today, was all about enjoyment. I enjoyed waking up at 5am, when the whole world was still quiet. I enjoyed fixing my own breakfast. I enjoyed catching a snooze on the bus and on the train. I especially enjoyed getting my train ride for free :D! I enjoyed the company of the SMRT chaps, even if we never meet again, or forget that we've ever met. I enjoyed E's company, as well. I enjoyed the scenery at Little Guilin, the cool breeze that blew throughout the day, the tranquility of the place. I enjoyed watching the teams play the challenges. I enjoyed their enthusiasm, their energy. I enjoyed their attempts at poetry, though sometimes painful and usually very funny. I was sitting at the edge of the park, where I had a nice view of a long stretch of road leading to Bukit Gombak MRT. A team of 3 pretty girls spotted me from far and started running towards me excitedly. As they neared I waved at them, and they waved happily back at me, as though they were delighted to see me. Nobody's ever bothered to even act that delighted at the sight of me, so I really, really enjoyed that. You made my day, girls! :) I enjoyed the staff room at Gombak MRT. I enjoyed the snatches of sleep I grabbed there. I enjoyed the talk on the train with M and E, quite a lot. I enjoyed looking at pretty girls throughout the day :P. I enjoyed my ramen. I enjoyed eating alone, and having a relaxed meal, so relaxed I could afford to sit there after finishing my ramen and sip water and look at more pretty girls :P. I enjoyed sitting at the Merlion, I enjoyed the breeze there and there were pretty girls to look at :). I enjoyed the hall councillors' company, I enjoyed the lightning display in the sky, and what I could see of the fountain display, as well. I enjoyed the night walk, enjoyed having 1 girl tug at my shirt sleeve throughout the walk, enjoyed having 2 girls tug at my shirt sleeves. I enjoyed having a nice hot bath at home, enjoyed watching tv with my mom, enjoyed a nice cup of ice cold Coca Cola (with a pinch of salt), enjoyed typing this entry. And soon, I'm going to enjoy a nice, good sleep (hopefully dreamless). All in all, a good day. :) 接下来我将有感而发，请不要在意。 爱了，所以伤了。 伤了，所以痛了。 痛了，所以怕了。 怕了，所以逃了。 逃了，所以静了。 静了，所以思了。 思了，所以悟了。 悟了，所以不再痴了。 不再痴了，便能再爱了。 Friday, July 21, 2006 Here's the article I told Windz about.. lifted from xL's blog. Thanks xL! Been going out so much that I'm feeling rather burnt. Holidays are almost over and I never had any chance to get some real rest, my mind's always been bothered by one thing or another (or, more frequently, by lots of things at once). Really really want to spend a few days at home getting bored, then getting bored of getting bored. Somewhere along the way I lost part of myself, replaced it with something that is now valueless, and now I have to find back what I once was, because then I was stronger and more resilient and better equipped for life ahead. Should have blogged yesterday, when my mood was sky-high. Somedays things just keep going right one after another and my mood just keeps going from high to higher. Yesterday was one of those rare days. To a friend in the States: Hang in there. Just keep taking small steps in the right direction. And don't ever let yourself slip backwards. And eventually you'll be fine. Call me anytime you need someone to talk to. Got stuff to do, might blog more later. Saturday, July 15, 2006 Every time I visit TXP's blog..

It's been quite a while since this happened. Last night's dreams were finally pleasant, I had a good sleep and I woke up in a good mood. I also managed to sleep past 10am for the first time this week. So, finally got some good things to blog about. :) My parents said last night during dinner that I have a blessed life. I thought about it and agreed. So they told me that I should treasure what I have. And I asked, how to treasure what I have? Beyond being thankful, beyond doing what I'm doing now? They were stumped. I jokingly asked, what, you want me to do big stuff? Invent the cure for cancer? And they said that would be nice! But, for me, what I want from life are actually pretty simple. I want to get the basics right, most importantly of all. I want to be a good husband, I want to be a good father, I want to be a filial son, I want to be a good elder brother, I want to be a good friend. If, along the way, I can save half of mankind and leave my name for posterity, that's icing on the cake. Will be busy busy busy all the way till school opens, and then beyond!

I think I'll be lucky to get a silver this time, though I'll still be gunning bravely for gold. 梦，终究只是梦，睡醒后便消失无踪。梦里的悲欢离合，泪水，笑容，痛苦，甜蜜，也应该随之而逝。 Today I found out that, some dreams are scary only after you wake up from them. 10+ years down the road, and Animaniacs is still as funny. Thanks KT for passing me a copy! Another busy day today, datelines looming, so it's back to work for me. Tuesday, July 04, 2006 KTV for 2 days in a row! Monday's got poor LY sabo-ed into a scandal, today's saw a little debate about birthdays and years of life. I still haven't managed to sing all the songs I want to sing, though.. Haha. Windz and JQ are back!! Yay now almost all my best buddies are back in SG.. It's time to meet and meet and meet and meet and meet before I get busy. And before everyone flies back again. This contributes greatly to my bubbly mood today. Which was almost threatened by the multi-hit combo I was dealt last night. I woke up at least 4 times from scary dreams, which totally wrecked whatever sleep I managed to get. Here's what I can recollect of them: There was this hazy one where I was being chased by lots of people with guns, and I was getting shot at and running, then I woke up when I was cornered. Pretty normal fare. Then a vivid one: I was walking along a corridor in some school. Then this girl came up to me and held my hand. I was amused, but didn't say anything, and we continued down the corridor, hand in hand. We came upon this row of lockers, and she opened one of them and put our joined hands inside. Then she let go of my hand, motioned for me to leave it in the locker, and went off. A short distance in front of the lockers, she stopped in front of this guy and said the only thing in the dream, "Will you be my boyfriend?" The guy took up her hand and they carried on down the corridor hand in hand, leaving me with my right hand in a locker and looking stupid. Then I woke up. WTF. Another vivid one: I was sitting beside this field with a bunch of people. There were 2 harvesters working the field, and in the middle was an orange tree with gigantic oranges. People on the harvesters were plucking oranges half their size and putting them into huge baskets on the harvesters. Suddenly this huge caterpillar was crawling in my direction. It kept crawling towards me and I stood up, a little apprehensive. Then, as it reached me, it turned into a baby crocodile and swallowed my right hand. I tried to free myself but it just kept wriggling about and swallowing my arm inch by inch. I managed to grab its tail but somehow I knew that I couldn't escape no matter how I tried. It was halfway up to my elbow when I woke up. And gave up trying to sleep any longer. Like, WTF?? My mum said that if I have nightmares I must talk about them during mealtimes, it'll prevent the nightmare from becoming reality. Something about eating the nightmare up, which was quite amusing. Wanted to blog more but spent so much time chatting on MSN that I pretty much forgot what I wanted to blog. Anyway looking forward to dinner tomorrow, when the 5 of us gather together again after so long. Also need to raise my force shield to full power for tomorrow! Please no more nightmares tonight for me, surely I've fulfilled the quota for the month already. Monday, July 03, 2006 BB Mak - Ghost Of You And Me What am I supposed to do With all these blues Haunting me, everywhere, no matter what I do Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow I cant let go When will the night be over I didn't mean to fall in love with you And baby there's a name for what you put me through It isn't love, it's robbery I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me Seen a lot of broken hearts go sailing by Phantom ships, lost at sea And one of them is mine Raising my glass, I sing a toast to the midnight sky I wonder why The stars don't seem to guide me I didn't mean to fall in love with you And baby there's a name for what you put me through It isn't love, it's robbery I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me The ghost of you and me When will it set me free I hear the voices call Following footsteps down the hall Trying to save what's left of my heart and soul Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow I can't let go When will this night be over I didn't mean to fall in love with you And baby there's a name for what you put me through It isn't love, it's robbery I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me I didn't mean to fall in love with you And baby there's a name for what you put me through It isn't love, it's robbery I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me Sunday, July 02, 2006 Read this on my granddaughter's blog.. As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. Saturday, July 01, 2006 "You are a waste of good balls." - Catalina, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Some people become real bastards when they're behind their computer. They seem to forget that behind other personas and avatars are humans too. They do things they'd never do if their face was exposed. It's sad that they infest everything. Looks like I'll be playing DOD a lot less. SoC Camp is over! All in all it was a great experience. Being a councillor is not an easy task, and I hope my performance was up to par. Next up, Sheares Orientation! Meanwhile it is rush rush rush to meet DWT deadlines. Time flashes by much too fast as the date nears, and manpower is such a big headache. Good friends are hard to find, and even harder to find are friends to whom I can be perfectly honest, more honest than I am to myself, even! It is a pity the circumstances are as they are. I have said before, I can be hard on myself and on others if I think it is necessary. Therefore if, paradoxically, I have to do some convincing, then so be it. I... will leave no room for doubt. |
