Booze night out~~~

Awoken by the heat...
freaking the room is getting hotter, cant even sleep properly nowadays....
Last night has been totally fun... although its suppose to be a B block seniors supper, but it turned out to be a major supper for almost all the happening seniors in Eusoff. It was much anticipated as we spent the entire afternoon buying the food and preparing the food. the food prepared were mouth-watering... seriously. There are stingrays, sotongs, beef and pork, chicken wings, oyster dip, burgers, prawns, sausages, tons of cheese. It hardly gets any better than that...

Confrontation took place before that, the current batch of freshies look promising... thats "gladdening". Graduated seniors all came back to support the event, Saw Jerraine, she look more womanly and prettier, sighhh... the confrontation was followed by a 5km run around campus. I guess that made the BBQ supper even better as everyone was hungry and thirsty after that.

I guess i know what Kristian meant when he says that the B block bond is the strongest when the people really mixed around and enjoy themselves and talk cock and sing song. We got an in-house bartender in Felix, the drinks he mixed were very nice of course, not like those diluted ones you find in the pubs. I had a waterfall by myself and burnt my hair. (Priceless! for anything else, there is mastercard!) Practically every block is represented, it was a cool chill out session. More will come i guess. Things are getting better yet. The male freshies are very on and enthusiastic, not a lot of handsome chaps, but they more than enough made it up with their enthusiasm. Females are not bad too, some pretty ones here and there, none are super outstanding but the average on the whole's been eye-pleasing. I think Caroline is pretty cute thou, and she is from the woman soccer national team. Hopefully, the formal dinner next week, she can dine with me... tts not impossible... i guess...

End of Orientation for hall, next week, arts orientation. I still got 2 more modules to bid for... hope i get them, otherwise i will be in deep deep shit...

Back in Eusoff

Finally, back in hall...
much awaited... much anticipated...
Moving to B4 has been totally fun so far... a game of mahjong on the first night back.
Outdoor activities the next morning... which has been totally fun and shackening...
plus some controversies which started before anything else begins...
its too long to elaborate here... If you know it, and i know it... i guess thats good enough...

Guess being a senior really feels kinda different... makes u feel like u are much closer to everyone else... with a year of friendshi[ behind us already... its the anticipation of more things to come... Things will get better and better still i believe... The only regret is not to know people who has already graduated better...

The local freshies seems to be rather on and love hall quite a bit... let's hope they carry on from here...

J.K. Rowling

She is a genious, isn't she...?
from the verge of bankruptcy to multi-millionaire.
All for coming up with a series of books of "The Boy who lived", "The Chosen one" who studied in Hogwats, captivated the entire world, all over and changed her life eversince.

Harry Potter's latest book was out on the 16th July, but i only finished reading it last night. Slow by manys' standard but i had other things to do. But i am sure that my feelings when i finished the book is no less similar to all the others before me.... saddened by the fact that Dumbledore had died... Through her ingenious ways of developing the characters in the book, I am sure that the entire Harry Potter readers population were as affected as me, not ONE less. I am totally immersed in the book... like TOTALLY... I still remembered vividly when Joey first told me about the book, how skeptical and scornful I was, towards THAT book, when i saw people of my age, guys and girls all reading it. But after i watched the movie, it was a lesser depiction of what the book is, seriously, but it did enough to draw my attention to start buying the book and reading it... and i never regretted since.

There is nothing more that i can wish for but the continuation of the book each time i picked it up... I could feel the characters walking and feeling in my mind, like the entire story being played into real life. I think i read the entire series so far, no less than 5 times, cover to cover... but i just can't get enough of it. Honestly, i don't wish that it will stop at Book 7. I had wished that it will just continue forever and ever...

People start feeling with all the characters in the book itself, the elation, the anxiety, the desperate-ness, the despondant, the tears, the laughter, the frustration and everything else that it offers... I was sad when Sirius died, it felt worse last night when Dumbledore fell... It just spoilt my entire night when i finish the book... felt that i could never be happy again (like the dementors are around)... i had no mood for anything else...

Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.

'Severus ... please ...'

Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore.

'Avada Kedavra!'

I teared......

A very meaningful blog by my friend - Wenfang

Four people you will meet in life...

Life is the process of finding love; every person will need to find four people in their life.

First person is you,

Second person is the one you love most,

Third person is the one who love you most,

And the fourth is the one you spend the rest of your life with.

In life, firstly you will meet with the one you love most, and learn how love feels. Because you know how love feels, so you can find the person who loves you most.

When you have experienced the feeling of loving others and being loved, you will then know what it is you need most. Then you will find the person who is most suitable for you, to be able to spend the rest of your life with.

Sadly, in real life, these three people are usually not the same person. The one you love most doesn't love you. The one, who love you most, is never the one you love most. And the one you spend your life with, is never the one you love most or the one who love you most. He is just the person who happens to be at the right place at the right time.

Which person are you in other people's life?

No person will purposely have a change of heart.

At the point in time when he loves you, he really loves you. But when he doesn't love you anymore, he really doesn't love you anymore. When he loves you, he can't pretend that he doesn't. Same goes, when he loves you no more, there's no way he can pretend he loves you. When a person doesn't love you and wants to leave you. You must ask yourself if you still love him, If you also don't love him anymore, do not keep him just to save your pride.

If you still love him, you should wish him happiness, and hope that he will be with the one he loves most, not stop him from it. If you stop him from finding true happiness with the one he loves, it shows you already don't love him, And if you don't love him, what rights do you have to blame him for a change of heart?

Love is not possessive, If you like the moon, you can't just take it down and put it in your basin, But the moonlight still shines upon you. In other words, when you love a person, you can use another method of possessing the person. Let him become a permanent memory in you life. If you really love a person, you must love him for what he is. Love him for his good points, and the bad, You can't wish for him to become like what you like him to be just because you love him.

If he can't change to become what you like him to be, you don't love him anymore. When you really love a person, you cannot find a reason why you love him, You only know that no matter when and where, good mood or bad mood, you will wish to have this person be with you. Real love is when two people can go through the toughest problems without asking for promises or listing criterias.

In a relationship, you have to put in effort and give in at times, not always be on the receiving end.

Being away from each other is a type of test, If the relationship isn't strong, then you can only admit defeat. Real love will never become hate.

When two people are in love, They love to ask each other to swear, to make promises. Why do they ask each other to swear and promise? Because they don't trust each other, they don't trust their lover. These swear and promises are useless; Till the sky falls, till the ocean dry, my love for you will never change! We all know that the sky will never fall; the ocean will never dry, Even if it does happen, are we still alive by then?

Be careful when making promises; don't make promises that you cannot keep. Swear by things that can never happen, because it can never happen, so no harm just saying it casually. Remember, swearing by things that can never happen are the most touching!! In a relationship, what you say is one thing, but what you do is another; The one saying, doesn't believe; the one listening, also doesn't believe.

Moving Home

Got my key today... thanks to Xilin..
moved some of my stuff back... but spend quite a bit of time cleaning up my room till its fit for human inhabitation... though it looks clean at first glance... but dust and dirt appears as i cleaned it up...

feels good to be moving back... really... but i guess my parents will miss me... will miss staying at home... but staying in hall is a different kind of fun i guess... thats why hall life is so appealing

But this time... having made up my mind not to do honours... i know what i am gunning for... Gonna try to get a Degree with merit and minor in Business or Technopreneurship... that would mean i gotta score at least 3.2 in my final cap... that should be managable if i put in more heart when its time to study. Of course there will be the usual dose of sports but this time round i am not forsaking my business. Everything is going to tick alright and i will balance my time this time round.

Daming now stays directly opposite me... i can spy on his hanky panky anytime now... haha... on my side there is roger, weifeng and kristian... and opposite side is daming, barney and patrick. kinda cool... think we will have fun together... The room need some touching up and i need to move in the remainder of my stuff... I have a feeling that i keep forgetting things... Will someone tell me what izzit?

Fragility of Mankind

Today, we played a soccer match against NTU Hall 6. This match certainly left a deep impression on me as it will not be remembered as a match which we won. Neither was it made significant that Jit Tong was playing as guest player for Hall 6 team. But the most glaring incidents which left a deep imprint in my memory are the injuries which happened during the match. Reminding me of the fragility of human.

The first misfortunate accident was that Lee Bart was rammed in the face by a zhiwei's clearance... Without any warning... he was left clutching at his right eye as the nose support of his spectacles poke through his eye lips and the spectacles were dangling from the eye itself. How freaky can that be... the match was halted and Lee Bart was rushed to the clinic for consultation. Second half started without him and 2/3 thru into the half, yizhou received a through pass and he tried to round the keeper and score. Score he did but the goalkeeper was rolling on the floor with blood splattered all over his face. First glance, we thought it was his ears that got smashed but it turned out to be his lips... think he knocked against yizhou's knees and the top half of the lips splited 4 ways... blood was gushing... freaking scary.... Later, yizhou's knee was discovered to be suffering from a deep cut also by the teeth...think the teeth bit into his flesh and he couldn't walk properly after that as the wound bled non-stop too...

Too bizzare... we called off the match... freaky day with freaky accidents... An innocent soccer game made the rest of us witnessed the fragility of mankind.. how easily we can get hurt and injured... and by our own inventions as well... Guess it made people feel bad but yet at the same time... some relief that the injured party is not ourself... The poor goalkeeper, i think he is going to need stitching and gonna be scarred for life...

This match today reminded me of the 9/11 incident and the recent London bombing... Why don't people treasure lives...

My future

It seems to me that i know what i wanted to do in the future already...
When someone ask me what i wanna do or achieve... i can jus rattle on and on... about my plans and my goals and dreams...
I think its good to think and plan ahead.
At least i know where i am going and what matters now is how to get there...
I think i am in a much better position than most people out there... who are "headless chicken" as they call it in army terms... dunno what they want in life and dunno how to get to what they want.

Its not their fault really, its just that they never really think of what they wanted and the pathetic state of Singapore Education merely teaches people how to survive... not how to LIVE your life...
There is a world of difference if u can sit down and think about it seriously...

Not saying that i am an expert or what... but i think i experienced a lot for my age... from fantastic results since young to having a broken family to starting to think of my own future and planning my route... of course there are a lot more details in between... but it is my story...

Ask me my plans for the future if u wanna know more... maybe, i will be glad to share...

JC Guys gathering

Past few days since i got back has been hectic. Back on sat morning... but i was too tired that i slept thru the whole day till its time for Wenmei's Bday party at East Coast Coasta Sands... met up with my 99s22 class people but not much of them thou, as usual, you would say. Only SHOCK Chin, Wo Hen Mei, Zhenz, Clarence and his bro Alex. And at the last part... met xinyi too.. when Zhenz went to pick her up from town.. ages since i saw any of them... seriously...

Overslept for the mcc course yesterday... too freaking shack... was so late that i decided to go for Danlin's farewell cum Birthday party... Glad to see her enjoying herself... She was so upset about it initially when quite a few people from our OG could not turn up.. she cried... but it seems like she got over it, afterall she is quite sentimental. Din know she actually like marketing... haha... anyway... 2 groups of friends were invited for yesterday, Eusoff and Arts. Leonard's gf, Shiqi is quite pretty, think she is one of the councillors last year if i rem correctly, saw Aaron and his famed fiancee. Eusoff, i think she invited a few friends whom she is closer to... like Jingting, Michelle, Cheryl, Nana, Weifeng and Randy... good to see them after so long... but will be seeing them soon everyday... haha...

Rushed back to Mcc course and in the evening, met up with Huaijie, Huazai, OCM, Bear, Jiehan and the lost son - Yanjie for dinner at NYDC Suntec... Long time since i saw any of them... had a lot of fun crapping and teasing those who are attached... laughed till cramped... seriously... such an enjoyable session... should meet up soon guys... Angie and Jiehan together still amazed me today. The most surprising one should be Huazai... he actually kissed his gf first before asking her to be his gf... Surprising for someone as quiet as he is... haha... pointer to take note? Bear is leaving for mission trip today... suppose he is at Thailand already... We stayed till NYDC closes... the staff must have been quite pissed with us cos at the end, they were all waiting for us to leave... haha...

Hong Kong ~~ Pearl of the Orient~~!!

Hey, its been a while since i blogged... to be exact... its the same period when i was away in HK...
It was such an enjoyable trip... Summer HK is kinda different from Winter HK i guess.... the weather speaks for itself and the items that are on sale there are a great disparity... Vivian, Karen and Me purposely planned the trip to coincide with their Tourism promotion and Summer Sale... Guess we din regret...

DAY ONE

Took a damn early cab to Hougang to pick up Vivian to go to the airport together... her bf tagged along too... having stayed over the prev night... Karen arrived much later with her mum... den we went for breakfast... They say i am auntie-killer.... think its turning out to be true... Karen's mum and I click quite well... When its time to leave, we happily trooped in and off we go... our first foray together and my long-awaited 2nd trip to HK... a place which i considered potentially my second home.

Reached HK at 11 plus am and we set off to check in at our hotel. The first comedy struck when the driver mixed up and send us to the wrong hotel... How Bizzare!!! But nonetheless, we settled in at our cosy little room at Dorsett Seaview... It was actually pathetic and a total disappointment when the 3 of us opened the door and see how small the room is... sigh sigh sigh... But we wasted no time is settling down and trooped out to the streets for our first local lunch... and SHOPPING starts!!! Around our hotel area and familiarizing ourselves. Our Hotel is in between Jordan and Yau Ma Tei, along the famous Nathan Road ("Shopping Paradise of HK"). We covered most of the area without really exploring the inner streets... where at every turn and corner... there is bound to be something exciting... how cool... compared to the Sad Singapore Story. Worst thing happened, our camera spoiled... luckily i manage to catch hold of Justin and dude!! He was damn nice to lend us his camera... totally grateful man!!! At night, we were off to Mongkok and Ladies' Street. Such a terrible place... made me bought a really nice bag but i had to sign for it due to the lack of cash... and i knew that was coming... once i signed, it wun stop... blasted!! Tired and Weary, we trooped back to our hotel... with lots of bag but not welcoming the idea of the pathetic bedroom...

DAY TWO

It was the city tour that brought us up early at 6. Dressed and ready to go... forgetting the previous day's weariness... we made our way to TIM SUM breakfast... (who could have missed that when coming to HK) Then it was Victoria Peak that we are going first. As usual, the scenary is breathtaking... no matter how many times u seen it. Took plenty of pictures there... and we are off to Repulse Bay - the most beautiful beach in HK. The temples and different Gods' statues. The tallest Guanyin Statue in HK, a pity that i forget to pray... cos they say Goddess of Mercy can hear us if we pray there... but i prayed to the 4-faced Buddha (the one where Chan Ho Nam prayed to in Young and Dangerous) and walked the Bridge of Longevity and got a set of lucky number (2245) and asked Karen's mum to buy 4D for me... Aberdeen is next, a visit to the people who stayed on water and finally a cantonese lunch at Tsim Sha Tsui before we took MTR over to HK Island, Causeway Bay (Home of Chan Ho Nam... haha..) but limited time forbade us to go to Central, Wan Chai and Lan Kwai Fong. We din even manage to go up to Peninsula Hotel... sigh sigh sigh... den we went to Mongkok, Fa Yuen St for more shopping... and got lost... oh well... but nonetheless... we found each other and made our way back... concluding our day.

DAY THREE

We woke up early again on the third day with big plans... We are gonna visit the Big Buddha... I brought along the famous pendant that i bought on the prev day to pray to the Big Buddha... The scenary held us dumbstruck... even Vivian who initially din wanna go, found it reluctant to leave after that... The amazing thing is that we were in the midst of clouds most of the time...due to changes in weather... which is pretty amazing.. cos it was sunny one moment... but rainy the very next... good thing is that we manage to take our photos... thou missing out on some of the scenary is disappointing but the trip was never regretted even though it took us 2 hours to get up to the mountain. After that, Kowloon Tong was next... there was a plan to visit Kung Tung for all the sports brand factory outlet... but it was foiled by the Espirit mega sale that we came across at Tung Chung... haii... dunno whether its good or bad oso... but will make a mental note to go there (Kung Tung) the next time. At night, we made our way to Avenue of Stars (Xing Guang Da Dao) where all the famous celebs will have their handprints fortified on the streets... and of course the Symphony of Lights. the most exciting was the pickpocket incident where someone was nabbed for pickpocketing... the worst thing was that the pickpocket was probably targetting me next as he was standing next to me, but upon shouts... the plain clothes policemen suddenly pop out from nowhere to nab him... catching me by a terrible surprise... almost caused me to fall into the sea... After that fateful incident... we went to temple street to pick up some cheap stuff... I bought a few ornaments which i like very much... its really cool.. guess i will put it in hall next time. That ended our eventful day.

DAY FOUR

We woke up the latest today... 10am.. den of course our last min shopping... ard Tsim Sha Tsui area... We had congee and you tiao for breakfast... typical HK style... kinda cool... the funny thing about this trip is that we tasted a lot of local food.... not because we wanted to.. but rather that we are suffering from a severe lack of cash... the last day is always the saddest... it wasnt long before evening approaches and we have to go home...

Made our way to the airport.. and took the plane home... with Vivian and Karen feeling sad and already planning our next trip there... with much enthusiasm of course. It was sad to see the plane leave the City of Lights as it slowly turn into a small dot which drifted away further and further... With the plane flying above the clouds... all the stars were shining brighter than ever seen before... Being a stars and constellations lover, i swear that it was the most stars and constellations that i seen in my life tonight... The amazing thing is that the stars are so bright that it shines down upon the clouds that is floating below the plane and causing reflections... There u see little brights dots of yellow and silver... Lo and Behold... its such a rarity... pity the camera cannot take the rare view... but i was staring at it for as long as I could... before i drifted off into dreamland...

(this is a highly summarised version, i am too tired to type out the details... really looking forward to seeing the photos... and i think its time to invest in a digital camera to call my own...)

PS. its really not easy to go shopping with Vivian and Karen... though i think i am a damn good shopper and BF-to-be for any shoppaholic... but the fact that they wanna visit every single shop and go to every place that is nice and interesting makes it kinda impossible... which probably explains why i visited a great deal less of places this time... but the total exploration of Tsim Sha Tsui and the visit of Big Buddha more than made up for it... not forgetting the pickpocket drama as well... but it was totally fun as well... There could be something that can cap the icing on the cake... i will be looking out for 2245... ;)

Shacked out...

Haven't played soccer for a damn long time... today was the first field match in a long while...
Boy! i was glad to turn up... most of the team were there... save for new faces like Yewjin and Yejie (an old friend)... We whacked Shaowei's team silly.... 8 - 0... a maddening 4-goal blitz in each half...
Like what yibo says, me and him changed the game. We were dominating but cant score... but when we enter the pitch with like 8 mins left in the first half... we scored 4 immediately... leaving the opponents shell-shocked... much of the goals are attributed to my hard running i believe... No one defence can take my hard running style yet... but its damn shack i tell you... Second was the same... opponents were tired... and we are just starting... suddenly in the middle of the half.... we whacked them with 4 again... i could have gotten onto the scoresheet myself... had a volley saved, a certain goal tt was mine until the defender poked it past his keeper and a chip tt went just over... Its a goal drought man... i haven scored for the team for a long time... i must change that soon... Oh yah, this is Royston's last match for us... he is going to Silicon Valley for NOC exchange... damn cool rite... Wun see him for a year... he became much more resolved and biz-minded as compared to last time...

Still feeling the backaches from the match... must be never warmup properly... or i am getting old...

I will be flying off tmr morning... to HK... with Karen and Vivian... guess it will be a fun trip with these 2 mad girls... haha... but they are shopaholic man... looks like i will be in for a bad time... I got a couple of things on my shopping list... but i guess i gotta prioritise... the things i want are not exactly cheap... few pairs of shoes, a bag, HP, Oakley and digital cam... I think i gotta work harder at making money... Good to see the team with synergy now... Gives me the added incentive to help them even more...

I am still packing my stuff... keep thinking i left something out... damn it... just dunno wat it is...

I think i will miss Singapore... esp my Xiao Ben Ben...

Agony of Missing somebody

I am not going to get a chance to meet her this week... she is busy with her work.... so busy until she fell ill and dun even have time to recover... *heart pain*

but i talked to her a great deal lesser this week... dunno is because she is busy or i am busy or i dun dare to talk to her as much... but its the so near yet so far feeling that makes it all the more frustrating... i like her yet i am not allowed to... its so painful... Not that i don't wanna care for her.... but i am afraid that i might not be able to pull myself out of it....

I am begining to seriously wonder if she feel anything for me... even just that little bit... but she said she never go and think about it... She and her bf seems to be getting better... I am beginning to feel like a third party... but i am not wrong to like someone i like... Love has always been like that... but i know... if i am her bf... i will not like it if someone else likes her... I'm caught in the middle... i dunno what to do...

She said she says she will meet me after i come back... that will be 2 weeks later... I am so not used to it... its too long... i can't help but wish i can see her now... I have a surprise for her...
