Another Week has gone away

Finally back from Pre-U Sem.
It has been a a tough, stressful and tiring week.
There are many who wished they won't ever experience it again.
I choose to think positive. The whole thing was SUPER-DUPER-ULTRA-MEGA FUN!!

Even though my Seminar Group wasn't the loudest over there, but I felt that they has their fun and the Pre-U Sem had carved something unforgettable in their hearts.
Words cannot express MY unforgettable experience of waking up at 4plus for morning briefing, going hyper during the day with my participants even though they were tired, singing in the bath with all my level 3 mates, slacking at each others room where we'll end up dozing off, catching a grasshopper and causing a din in our hall.
And many many more other stories I can tell.

Well, all I have to say was that the stay in NTU was worth it.
Firstly, thanks to all the teachers who were concerned, caring and took care of us when we were in need.
Thanks to my Level 3 mates, for turning sleeping hours into late night parties. Thanks to my bunk mate Jeremy, for making the stay fun and doing lame stuff together.[you'll see a video later ^^]
Thanks to my cluster A1, for the long debriefs and the talks we had.
But most of all, thanks to my SG, for making Pre-U Seminar an unforgettable one.

Photos I took during Pre U Sem. Photos go in chronological order from the earliest took to the latest. The first few days weren't much of picture taking sessions, there are a few though. It's a pity many other photos were not stored in my phone.

The grasshopper we caught. Hope it's doing well in the bushes. My SG!! Funny people, really! Chew stoning before entering the auditorium for OC. Jem and I crapping around in the toilet.

Sandcastle challenge was on the fourth day.
Cool guys in RED. The casino sandcastle my SG built. [it's an ace of diamonds and a dice] A sports hall. Seminar Group 3~!!

The last day was great, even though we were all dozing off.
Kathleen!! It was great knowing her as a SGL since last year. Grace, who has more than 2 dimples. I always ask bernice if she's alright because she's so fragile!! Shenna!! Hope to see you in school often k? Xin Yi, I have her MI badge. [btw, she was tip-toeing and I was squatting]

This is my SG's Home-Made Music Video.


And the moment many would take home from Pre-U Sem. Enjoy!


I missed Pre-U Seminar and I hope many others did too. And I hope to see my SG around Singapore too, even though we're all from different schools.

Nothing was meant..

It's been hectic and busy but I managed to get a com.
Found this song, it kinda reminded me of stuff.

A Lonely September - Plain White T's

You reign victorious.

I am so blessed that tomorrow's a holiday.
I need a full day of rest to recharge myself for school.


Emotions are....
A weird thing which humans have.
Do emotions determine our characters?
Or is it due to specific personalities which stir up the emotions in us?
Many might agree that our character traits that cause certain emotions in us to occur in certain situations.
Yes, yes, it's true.
But is it necessarily a good thing?
Fortunate for us, we are made in His image.
We are blessed with emotions.
A privilege, an advantage, an upper-hand, an honour.
It makes people beautiful.
However, is feeling sad, angry, doubtful, upset, weary the beauty of human beings?

Everyone experiences it, even me.
Sometimes, it becomes too excruciating and tormenting that we can't control it.
It eats us inside out and cause us to break down.
It steals away our soul and burns away the remainders.
But with Him, nothing is impossible.
He is the first I confide in, the first I seek for, the first I turn to if I have any problems.
He hears me out and gives me advice to make things better.
He gives me hope for a brighter future.
He's a father who listens to my problems.
=)



I know SLO has been tiring so far and has made many complain.
Even I was moaning when we were ordered to climb up and down the campus.
But, I tend to look at the bright side of things.
Especially when Jem and I were going hyper when things seemed down.
Kept singing songs and doing lame stuff.
Well, the food was free and the company was just awesome. =)

Well, last but definitely not the least.

You'll miss me when I'm gone.

It has been a tough week.
Juggling time for as long as I can imagine.


What do people do to counter stress?

Here are some tips:
1.Exercise
2.Listening to music
3.Hanging out with friends
4.Sleep
5.Eat

Specific methods or mediums to destress differ from a person to another, and it may change as the person gets older.
Furthermore, different kinds of stress require very different means of tackling them.


However, as my GP tutor puts it, his opinion on anti-stress is simple despite the complexity of it all.

"The best way to counter stress is to study."

This paradox was running through my head for the whole GP lesson, and I realised that that statement could be true, to a certain extent of course.

For some, especially those in MJC, are stressed due to the fact that examinations are nearing and they have yet to study to their fullest potential.
Hence, the way to counter this stress is to study and satisfy their hunger of knowing every single detail in the lecture notes.

Of course, I would rather let you think and evaulate it instead of telling what is my FULL point of view on the statement.
It's more fun to find out the meaning of stuff yourselves.




Well, it's complicated, I understand.
It's not good turning around to another, and say what you shouldn't.
And when turning back, don't put a fake smile.
I missed the sincerity and kindness.
I missed the old you.
What happened?
I hope things turn out for the better.
I really do.
I'm perplexed at the way things are now.
Come back.
Come back to who you were before.

The shadow of the day

A photo which brings backs memories.


NTU recce was great, even though we ended off super late, it was fruitful for me.
Well, not really just the recce itself, but the bonding of the SLOs.
Today was a good day.


Funny things guys do when they're bored.

Happy Student Liaison Officers.


Shagged after a day's work.



Well, a few days ago I tried to compose a song with Georgia.
I managed to squeeze out a verse and a chorus, will post the vid soon.
It's called "My Runaway Bride".
Here goes:

It is justified?
How I vindicate your love.
It is fine for me?
If I have to feel your pain.
But it's you, you're the one who drags me to the ground.
The only one who kills me inside out.

And now, all I wanna say is sorry,
You were always there through the night.
Oblivious to consequences,
I took the risk and now I pay the price.
Come back to me my runaway bride.

*smiles*

Hole in my heart..

Empty, empty, empty....

Once in awhile, I will get weird feelings in my stomach.
It's kind of strange.

It's like I'm missing something for the day, like I'm set out to accomplish something, but I return home feeling dissatisfied and unfulfilled.
Well, it may be the mundane schedule of school which is burning the time I have into bits and pieces of scraps.


Well, looking on the bright side, MOTHERS DAY is coming!! And I've bought this cute pair of slippers for my Mom. =DD




And besides that, I have plans to get into the mood of composing songs. It's been awhile since I've written anything, but most of the time I give up even before the chorus. Well, I hope it'll turn out good.

With two of my wives gone, I'm left with Georgia and Bunny(the oldie) to make music.
Aloy took Zenabi away and it's not gonna be soon before he returns it back to me. And John kidnapped Valencia and broke 3 of her strings. LOL.
Gonna have a good time with Georgia later. =)

Pooh bears.

This was so long ago, but I just wanted to upload it.
Will be waiting for the day I'm gonna do it again.
It's been so long since I stepped into a shop with crane machines.





Jaz: "Oh my God, I used to think this one cheat money one lorr.." =))

I would walk on water

Time passes so fast.
It's already May.
Seconds ticking away incessantly.
Minutes go by like seconds,
Hours like minutes.
Days are never-lasting.
Weeks make you want more.
Months say goodbye the minute they step in.
Life is short.

I gotta utilise my time wisely.
And prioritise my hours, and if I have to, even down to the minutes.

Thursday's sleepover was a blast.
Despite Daniel, HinKai and Dom nodding off to sleep at the coffeeshop, the soccer match was fulfilling.
Only Brian, uncle Foo and I were on the brink to wonderland, but survived.

Chelsea 3 - Liverpool 1

Being one of the FEW Chelsea supporters felt like a knife was being pointed at my throat.
I didn't dare jump and yell when the first goal was made.
And I felt intimidated when almost 99% of the uncles went berserk the minute Liverpool managed an equaliser.
Mahjonged and Slacked at my house.
Barely had sufficient energy to study the next day.



I don't know why, but the song "Lips of an Angel" keeps playing in my head.

"Honey why're you calling me so late?"
Yes yes, it goes on saying, "well, my girl's in the next room, somehow I wished she was you. I guessed we never really moved on"
Alright, this is the part where things get weird.
"It's really good to hear your voice, saying my name it sounds so sweet...and I never wanna say goodbye, but girl you make it hard to be faithful, with the lips of an angel"

It's not that I like the song. Well, it's not bad.
But it's so twisted, if you get what I mean.
QUESTION: "Why is the relationship so unmeaningful?" The first word in the song (honey) already makes me ponder about how unfaithful the guy is to BOTH girls.
It ain't good getting another girlfriend if you still love your ex.

Besides that, having the lips of an angel makes the guy unfaithful??
Hmmmm, I don't really get the literature behind that statement, I gotta get someone to explain it to me one day.
But all in all, the song somehow makes the guy look like the villain, the one at fault, the one making the mistakes, the heart-breaker.
Still, it seems theoretically wrong to label him the bad guy.



Sigh, I even wonder if the band have put in thought in the lyrics they write.
Sometimes you don't sense the heartfelt lyrics in today's songs.
It's like they write songs for the sake of writing to get famous.
Or may be they're just too emo.
Nasty.
