and so marks the end of year 2 ~ year 3 here we come ~

Well ~ been at the airport all day ~ sent Jess off ~
I suppose through the many semesters and close friendship we shared between us ~ I've grown a fond dependence on her as well as her presence in my life so much so I can't help but feel lost and empty knowing that she'll be away from me for 3 1/2 mths ~ Nice of her to leave me a little something to talk to in her absence ~ Xiao Huang the caterpillar ~ Missing ya already girl ~ drop me a msg soon ~
Spent the rest of my day with hUi and Brian and Ed ~ Went around city hall ~ dinning chilling ~ crapping ~ Spent quite some time working on the FOC project ~ classified information I'm not at liberty to discuss yet =p

Well ~ Departure of OIAP students is Today ~

Well Well ~ past midnite already ~ haha ~ can't slp coz of the really late and heavy dinner with bevan ~ a little belated birthday cum farewell dinner with my best friend ~ Guess we hadn't got the chance to really sit down and enjoy ourselves much for the past 2 years ~
Today ~ or rather yesterday FINALLY got that chance and today he leaves the country by noon ~ sadly i won't be able to see him off ... sorry bro ~ but do take care ... I wanna say I'm gonna miss you ~ but i've been missing u lots since we entered poly ~ SO SORRY ... time has not been on either of our sides and opportunities to meet are scarse ... Glad to know from our conversation today that u've kept urself updated abt my life ~ Thanks for your concerns =) Don't worry too much for me ~ I know U know me best ... keep me in check but Trust in my opinions =) I'm a foolish lover ~ But I'm also a sensible man ~ Enjoy your trip ! I'll be looking forward to our semester together again !
Alot more people leaving today ~ All the best people ~ some i'm closer to others i'm not as close... whichever the case I bid all a safe and fruitful experience over at ur individual attached institutes =) bon voyage ~

As the saying goes : "Absence makes the heart grows fonder"
Words of the heart : "Stay with me my love ~ Just a moment longer ~ For I want to Preserve this moment in my memories for till you return ~ I'm gonna miss you ~"

And Peace Returns To Sector 2.2 ~ At least for now ...

Standing over the cliff ~ Lord FoX and all Allied Forces stands tall ~ Watching the setting sun ~
The last stronghold in sector 2.2 has secumbed to our forces ~ Few insignificant rebels remains lingering ard the outskirts of the sector but all forces have stood down and today we feast over our victory !

Concluding the story ~ Today marks the last of the finals ~ AMB proved to be predictable yet challenge was posted in form of a few distinctive questions which escaped prediction =)
Finally after much anticipation I had my day out with Jess *cheers* yet it seems like heavens will not grant me a simple day without interruptions *grumbles* either way i did manage to get a few hours of time alone with her ... fruitful for her though ~ Given that she bothered to squeeze time in that tight schedule for me i guess i can't complain but i would still had preferred a movie and a walk by the bay =Either way ~ thanks ger =)

OH ~ Dad came home with plenty of that Armstrong Cancer Foundation Yellow LiveStrong Band ~ HaHa been meaning to make a donation and get the band =) He claims that he has quite a few with him so anyone interested ? Let me know I'll try to get U one =)

Tomorrow is all planned out ~ gonna siam novices ~ get my well deserved rest ... spend some time with my best friend for his belated birthday and pre OIAP dinner ~

Many disturbing thoughts are huanting me ~ wonder what i should do ~ harmless remarks ~ simple advice ~ even personal thoughts i share ~ I'm compelled to be sensitive to how others feel ~ friends or foes ~ What happened to human rights ? What happened to Justice ? God ! Help me ! Bestow upon me the knowledge to break the armour of irony !

Counting down ~

Muhahaha ~ Feeling much better now ~ and preperations today proved more or less fruitful =)
I'm sitting in the living room waiting for dinner now ~ shall resume the last push for the paper tml ~ No mood really last paper ~ been tired and all ~ BUT nonetheless anticipating tml !
Tomorrow will be a good day ~ Finally some rest and Finally that long due movie ... dinner and long walk ~
Heres praying for a beautiful tomorrow ~ full recovery and a successful paper =D Indeed Our Lord Is Worth Praise ! Alleluya ~

Heres a side note for people wondering why i gave up my appeal from my last post and removing it ~ I admit I may be slightly harsh with that last sentance but correct me if i'm wrong but 1) I'm already non specific to whom i'm mentioning 2) I gave a valid and reasonable explaination for my actions 3) Forgive me if it is wrong to even state nicely how i feel !
Well whatever it is it HAS BEEN REMOVED ~ I will extend my tolerance once more ... Don't Push Me ~

Conquest ~ Sector 2.2 ~ The FINAL BATTLE

Direct 22hr march from Fort IMM Lord FoX's forces pulls through with the claiming of Port AQUA ~ But even as our hero rest and prepares for the final battle~ His forces grows tired ~ weary ~ wounded ~ weapons and resources depletes with little reinforcements from the conquered cities ...
Physical and Mentally worn out ~ Down with illness ~ How does one pull through ? Faith ~ Persistence ~

Not really in the crapping mood but yar ~ the story today describes it all ~ From IMM to AQUA ... relief comes knowing that friday brings the final paper ~ AMB is the least of my fears but with no preparations made till now and your mental motivations drawn low with illness and no strong papers to back up those As ~ One can only drag himself towards the last praying for the best ~ Yet once more i shall hold true to my slogan "I Will Pull Through~ I Always Do~"

Still Burning ~

12 hours into the onslaught of the the fever ~ I'm alive but still feverish ~ visited a family doc that i'ven been to since i was 13 ? HaHa well ... apart from looking more aunty ~ dear dr.lee still remains freaking chatty ~ wonder how she survives with minimal patients and an average consultant time of 20 - 30 mins ~
According to grandma ~ dr.lee grew up in this region since the kampung days ~ studied here ~ fell in love and got married here ~ and to date serving this region as a general practioner ~ Some people spend most of their lives never to move from their hometown for long and always finding themselves back at thier homeland...
Well enough abt the doc ~ now more abt me ~ according to her ~ i'm down with something really bad ~ I'm on Antibiotics till friday ~ so i guess that means gonna take me awhile to recover :(
Say wonder if they've a guiness world record for most consecutive illness in 3 mths ~
Thats all the update for now ~

Burn ! ~ Burn ! ~

First ~ attempted to write a nice nice blog with pix yesterday but with a click of the dumb back button from the preview page lost my hour's hardwork -_-"
Attempt another day excuse me ~
Well ~ today was definately cold ~ been freezing all day ... at least to me ~ been picking up a mild temp since last nite ... but with panadol i thought i would be fine ~ but apparently it confrimed that its not working with the burning heat of 39.3 just moments before :(
I don't know what more to say ~ Bottled up heat of anger ? stress ? i don't know ~ whatever it is GOD help me ! You're the divine healer yar ? heavenly father ~ U know what i need best ~ quick dose of internal flames ~ both physical and emotional ... Grant me assurance ... Grant me peace ... Grant me quick relieve (no puns intended) ...
Looking on the brightside breakfast with jess was good =9 portaguese tart ! (Now thats a mouth watering treat i hadn't had for awhile ~ hardly seen even ~ *hee*hee*hix*
Well ~ thats the last of my strength tonite ~ again i lag behind in my revision ~ haiz ~ GOD ! SAVE ME !!!

Heavenly father in thy throne of heaven ~
Mighty healer of bodies and souls ~
Ur child beckons~ in wails and in pain ~
Heal my most unworthy wounds ~
Let the heat burn the Hell out from within Thy child ~
Yet grant me relief from this enduring heat ~
For I seek more than just salvation~
Please~ My LORD ~
Please ~

Amen~

Note: Funny how I seek the LORD the most only when i find myself in trouble ~ Most Unworthy times ~ Weakest form~ Doesn't that make me a loser ? a whimp ? Who cowers for cover and shelther only when i'm in need ? Reflection indeed is needed ~

Conquest Of Sem 2.2 ! The Fellowship ~

The time has come again for our heroes to move on to the battlefield ~ The time of reckoning is NOW ~ Sector 2.2 will no longer be kept from Us ... 3days of intensive training & preparation ~
Moments before the breeching of Fort MST II ... Lord FoX takes his place before his troops facing his worse fears ... drawing a slow, deep breath, taking comfort knowing that the fellowship has prepared him and shall be mounting this assualt with him as he draws his blade and signals for the attack~
The battle was long and it was definately not easy ... but with only one goal in mind our hero charges through the battlefield slaying the enemy one by one ~ Trying his best to keep to every strategy and move from his last 3days of training ...
Finally ~ 4pm ... Our hero emerges alive with the fellowship ... Victorious ~ Fort MST II has been claimed ... But in the feasting and the rejoicing in the sunset ... our heroes knows that there are still 3 Forts to be claimed in this sector ~ before peace may be returned to Sector 2.2 ...

Well .... thats my lousy excuse for an attempt of a short story to cover what has happened in the past 4 days ... with kitty ~ Jeremy and our notes ~ perhaps that is much like what is to happen in the 6-7 days to come = Nothing to be happy about but thats all a bundled deal with school studies and certifications .... (not to mention living in a meritocratic society)
Apart from school don't have much of a life this week and nxt due to the exam period ~ Met up with Hid and Clay (Rubbery & Jelloman respectively) for our usual chill out this evening ~ Our dear Rubbery is still finding means and ways to get to this sweet non-"mina" malay girl we met abt a mth back at penisular ~ Apparently coincidence isn't happening again for them ~ But persistent he remains nonetheless ~ keep it up bro ~ Spent most of the night talking about how to go abt starting a little business ~ many ideas came up but most rejected for some reason or the other ~ been at this for quite while ... All started with "That Chill Out Place/Spot" --- a little dream cafe where we can spend time with old friend chilling out ~ and providing the youths of this stressed out nation with a place to do the same =) of coz for a reasonable fee ~
Well many a times we make accquaintances ... and definately some friends ... these people come and go as our lives goes on ~ But how often do we make friends ... close friends who remains close and get closer with us as we each go on with our individual lives ? The answer ... not many in this busy practical society ... everyone is mainly there for a purpose and when that purpose expires ... the friendship fades ... That is not much of a friendship then issit ? =) I'm glad to say that I've found in those above mentioned and a several others a friendship that does not exist for a purpose with a shelf-life ... And everyone can have such friends ... its a matter of making the effort to maintain and nature the friendship with people ard us =)

OB AGM once again ~

Today marks the one year mark of yet another of those great dissapointment that I've accumulated ... Its Outwards Bounder's AGM ... Exactly a year ago ... I was THAT confident that I would had made the 11th comm. And that today would had been a day I would be in tears and swelling with the experience that NPOB has to offer. Of coz all that did not happen ...
However through the year, I've learnt much ... I've learnt that things don't always turn out the way you want them to ... It doesn't matter how many people think that its gonna turn out that way ... If it ain't meant to turn out that way It simply ain't gonna turn out that way ... HaHa
Well, Today was a gathering worth attending ... meeting batchmates ... seeing alumnis ... looking at new faces of the new batches after us ... Suddenly ... I feel that OB may had taught me much ... indeed many friendship were forged ... many lessons learnt ... much has happened in a short 1 year with the bounders .... much applied to the year that follows ... YET ... the feeling of never having to set foot abroad on an OB course still huants me and strikes me deep ... Not making it to serve as a comm. member well ... after pioneering and chairing NAFPA co-ordinators and serving a year in the treasury of NP Fencing ... well club leadership is not what i truely can commit to ... I'm an advisor not the commited leader ...
That aside ... one may think its a trival matter ... but when our dearest murphy's law comes into play ... even the greatest of men may fall ... Disappointments don't come alone ...
Looking on the bright side once more ... I find myself climbing the school gates crossing into SIM territories and over the gates of SIM which I damaged while trying to scale -_-" Was pretty fun not considering the damage done to the gates and myself ...
Thoughts are running all over the place right abt now ... excuse the disorganised entry ... I shall stop my ranting for now =) Dreamland awaits ... perhaps with a dream as sweet as the night before ...

And So ...

Well well well ... took me long enough to recover this blog to a presentable state ! HA !
To start off ~ The passing semester has had it ups and downs as of every part of my life ~ Nothing ever seems to stay smooth long enough for me to enjoy it throughly =) Oh well ~ as legends has it ~ Life was never meant to be easy !
Been doing the soul searching thing agian ~ Learnt quite abit of new stuff ... special thanks to jing for helping me think over some matters and to "Five People You Meet In Heaven" ... Still in the mids of searching but I'll have to leave it aside till end of the exams ... Project week just ended abt a week or so ago ~ everything seems to be passing at march 1 speed as far as the semester goes ... Took my pract papers today ... Anyone taking Aqua selection I'm sorry but its the WRONG choice ~ Fun but be ready to compromise on the scores ...
Well ~ Looking forward to after the exams ... But at the same time there is nothing much to look forward to ~ Jess, Bevan and the OIAP students will be flying off on the 3rd april ~ exams ends on 1st april ! 5th marks the start of IAP ! So get what i mean ? =)
All is NOT lost though ... Got a trip to JB with Shahid & Clay ~ another Retreat to Ubin ~ Retreat to Tioman with Brian & "The Chapalan Gang" ~ FOC trial camp ~ FOC camp ~ Fencing Camp and perhaps a trip to Sentosa ~ Sounds pretty exciting eh ~ hope they actually HAPPEN ! =X

Happy Birthday To Me ! =P

Hello ~ well to anyone who actually has been keeping to my blog post ... i'm sorry ar ... lazy to blog ar ... sometimes don't know what to say ~ anywayz take this chance to update ~ :P

18th Jan 2005 ! I've turned 19 ! haha 2 years to 21 ! ~ 1 year to 20 ... 1 year to army -__- ~
Once upon a time ~ there was this girl that came to me asking "Simon ~ will u forget me when we graduate ?" Back then ~ my thoughts were "Silly girl ~ i'm not even in the same school as you why will I forget u ?" Now ~ i understand what she means as i feel like asking someone the very same question ~ haha ironic isn't it ? Speaking of which ~ It so happens I always end up liking gals with alot of problems ... and not getting to keep them =x

Anyone can tell me why someone who sees so much in u once that everyday she looks to u for comfort can end up hating u so much that she cannot bring herself to converse with u properly? Likewise how issit someone can believe in something so much that even though she likes u she is willing to give up that liking just to comply to the standards of that soceity?

Rite ~ sad things aside ~ Birthday was fun :P celebrated my birthday on Sunday with Bevan Clayton and Shahid as well as my cousin and family ! Pizza ~ Fruits and Cake ~ simple but satisfying ~ Got a nice pencil case from the guys which i filled out the following day ~
Tuesday was great too as i spent the day with Jess and Hui on a day out celebrating my bday as well as shopping for new year clothes ~ Finally got to try the famous crystal jade xiao long pao and la mien ~ mmmmmm ~ SUPER NICE ~ The gals surprized me with a gift of clothes and belt haha Thankz gals :D

Lots of bday messages and personal greetings from friends :P Thankz guys and gals ~ Think the celebration carries on this friday with team venturejuana and saturday as unlimited celebrates clayton's & the other jan babies bdays as well as a simple house warming at bevan's =D
A word on the quote of the day ~ Went out for another of those chill out sessions with clayton and shahid near my place ~ which reminds me that we met carol (a senior for mayflower) ... shes gotten so much slimer and prettier haha :P hardly recognise her ~ OKie ~ back to the word on my quote of the day ~ Hid was sharing abt mental barriers and enviromental upbringing effects on a person's success ... if u're frequently put down you won't go far in life ~ where as if you're in an encourgaing enviroment u tend to go further ~ for example niel armstrong's mother said "remember to come down in time for dinner!" in response to him climbing up a tree when he was young. Whereas our mums probably says "come down this instance!Do u want to get hurt?" ... This can very much result in the difference of your answers to the following question:
"Do U think U'll Ever Own A Lumbogene in this LifeTime ?"
Most people will say no because They don't dream big ~

As u can see simple things as that can affect how we think ~ and hence ~ enviroment plays an important part in how we act ~ be it in what we believe in and how much risk we're willing to take ~ So people learn to breech that mental barrier !

Think about it NO ONE is a LOSER ~ because the moment u're concieved you're a winner ... U are THE ONE sperm cell of the millions of sperm cells that devoid of all adversities emerged the FIRST not only to reach the egg but also the ONLY that penetrated it and merged with it to become of U ... Hence, EVERYBODY regardless of race, language or religion (because all these means nothing to a sperm cell) IS BORN A WINNER ~

Quote of the day : "Mental Barriers takes U out of SuCCESS ~ Breech that barrier and Put U Back into SUCCESS !"

The ReUnIoN

Come to think about life ... friends are people you can never do without ... friends are not just people to have fun with ... They are not just memories ... They are not just passing phases ... Friends are much much more than that ... They all walk into our lives at different points in time ... and eventually they have to leave us as they move on ... To me ... When it boils down to true friends its not about how long they stay physically in our lives ... but how long they stay emotionally attached to us within our hearts and theirs'.
From a boy who had been brought up to honour promises and trust .... But never to trust 100% ... With little friends around myself for the period of pre school to primary school ... I've grown to become one who is willing to trust people, one who values friendship and one who has a desire to befriend the world.
Met up with my secondary school friends for a BBQ gathering and then meeting some for a retreat to ubin for a night. I wasn't satisfied that i do not deny ... I would had wished to see more of them and also to see more of my other friends who didn't make it ... But it is this short time of dedicated reunion ... short period of coming back together ... that makes me realise these are the friends you know will always be there when you seek them ... these are the people who had seen you through thick and thin ... sad and happy ... dumb and dumber times ... Such created that 1 unique bonding that with each of them ... it doesn't matter what you do ... basically any time spent together are great times !

Reloaded

Hello People~
This whole apologising about my taking forever to update blogs are getting a little too frequent ;p Anywayz ... Well Exams are over ... Holidays are well into its primetime ... Awaiting for results now ... Fencing camp and a couple of chalets had made their mark ... What remains would be SALT course and if it even holds up Venturejuana.
This project is all ready to fire off with a blazing start ... Just lacks 1 major component ... Participants ... Bloody secondary schools have no honour , ask for slots and ends up none of them complies and even worse some just simply withdraw ... haiz .... God Bless the project ... I only fear for the worse ... sigh ....
Plenty on my mind these days ...
converted on the 1st of october ... been attending services at trinity christian center ... Got to know quite alot of people and things ... wonder if i've made the right choice ... everyone there is so devoted ... Me ? I'm just not the devoted sorta guy ... not in case of a religion that is ...
Venturejuana in distress ... the commitee is holding up alright but as much as each of us keep a smile through out meeting we all know deep down inside it hurts to see our project fail ... If only we can find the 26 participants by friday ... If only ...
Maths is coming up again nxt sem ... wonder how well i'll hold up against that ...
I've assume role of president for Ngee Ann's NAPFA Society ... but great powers comes with great responsibilities ... now i know what that means ... alot of work to be done ... alot of decisions to be made ... alot of people to please ... alot of everything i shouldn't had taken too lightly ...
Oh yar ... just to side track something nice had happened met my "daughter" at church yesterday ... pretty surprized but haha always good to see familiar faces yar :P
Back to my woes ... Fencing Novices are coming up ... i know i should be spending time training but well sometimes just feel too lazy ... arghz ... hate myself ... MUST train !!!
Still fed up with the whole get a girlfriend thing ... Don't know what to do abt it now ... Sat down to think abt it the other day ... Decided i won't have a relationship which isn't gonna last ... But still i find myself being very nice to her ... *shrugs* wonder if she even bothers ...
Joyce is coming back =) Thats something to look forward to ... haven't seen her for say ... a year or so now ... wonder how much shes changed ... had a nice chat over the phone the other day ... sounded every bit like her ... =) Feeling pretty bad for some things i did ... Should try to surpress my emotions more ...
Guess i'm the freaking emotional kinda guy ... I can hold emotions pretty well ... but i guesss as much as i can ... my emotions are just sometimes too strong for me to hold down ...
Hmm looking forward to SALT ... hoping Gunang Panti will give me a good chance to retreat to nature and hopefully in its course rejuvanate me !
Gonna see Ivan and Kenny off to South Africa today ... so wanted to go for that course ... but money has proven yet again to be a root problem ... I'm not poor ... but i'm not rich .... I suppose like my day say ... this is the worse position to be in ... No ones gonna take pity on you ... Yet envy is gonna be on ur mind all the time coz you haven't suffered enough to understand what is truely being poor ...

Anywayz recee ended up starting 3 hrs behind time ... we set off from Jurong Entertainment Complex to Jurong Green CC where we had some ice cream settled plans for the area and headed off to Bukit Timah ...
Bukit Timah was an interesting hike ... Been awhile since any of us did hiking ... Nxt stop ARC at Camp David ... Then was the long ride down to Fort Canning (which we missed a stop) and our final stop before campsite ... Sunplaza Park (not at sembawang but at tampines) ... That was a long stop ... took us forever before we decided on the games at that stop ... Then of coz my favourite part ... Dinner (Which cut into supper) at changi village ! Had everything nice on our table and we sorta shared everthing :P so hehe ! Had meeting till 3 after dinner ... Became buffet for mosquitoes till 8 after that ... and breakfast at changi village ...
Finally was off to ubin !
Week after was basically study study study ... gotta go !

National Day !

Today is the 9th of August 2004 ... 39th years since the independance of Singapore as a Republic ! To greater prosperity , peace and harmony ! Singapore I give my best wishes !
*Salutes to Singapore Flag*
*Nation Anthem Plays*
The day has been fine ... woke up bright and early ... had garlic bread for breakfast ... followed by watching plenty of TV shows till early afternoons =p
Went out to chill with shahid for the rest of the day ... Wanted to go to the gym but it was closed so we went to watch mean girls (good show ! But the others in the threatre just couldn't appreciate the subtle jokes and deliberate puns ... Singaporeans ... *shakes head*) . Then we did some window shopping ... Went to his house after that and watched NDP and the fireworks display from his place ... Its was splendid but not as spectacular as the fireworks i watched the day before =p After which we sat down and watched Singapore Idol and that was definately a good laugh ! All sorts of weird people went for auditions , nerds to flashers to people with big ego and attitude problems to shy unaudiable and even emotional ... Singaporeans never cease to amaze me ... (or perhaps amuse is a better word) Btw ... I'm 100% Singapore made too but just that some Singaporeans ... or rather most ... are just like that ...
Hanged around his place and chatted with his family for awhile after the show while playing connect 4 with him till abt 10 30 before i decided it was time to go home ...
That very much concluded the day for me =)
Time to go to bed ...

Happy National Day Singapore !

Okie had a great day ... Spent the morning chilling out ... Simple breakfast ? lunch ? brunch ? I don't know ... Anywayz basically a simple meal with jess at delifrance ... Had a nice conversation while we were at it ... =)
Later went to the library for about an hour while waiting for time to past ... Read a really interesting book entitled "Biorythms-A step by step guide" ... It was on the 3 major rythms that governed the performance of the person in a typical day ... The 23-day-cycle physical rythm which governs the physical performance of a person ... The 26-day-cycle emotional rythm which governs the social and mood aspect of a person ... The 33-day-cycle intelligence rythm which governs the mental performance of the person ... Shall try it out and see how well it works :P
Met jess again after that and headed down to city hall to meet the class for the fireworks display ... Everyone was late with exception of chippy and amy ;p ... Sorry u 2
Amazingly ... Most of the class turned up for the event ... And even more amazingly we all managed to squeeze through to the same spot before the fireworks display ended ... haha ... heaven smiles upon us this day !


"When you believe ... Miracles can happen"---Theorem of Le FoX


Well thats so much for actions of the day ... Now for the thoughts of the day ... Had been trying to avoid thinking about some stuff for awhile now ... Hoping that i would be able to be contented with simply being friends with her ... Apparently, it doesn't work out ... Questions i keep asking myself "How much do i really like her ? Is she really worth all the effort ? Is the feeling mutual ? Does she like me ? Does she know I still like her ? Do i even stand any chance ..." Maybe i should just give up ... lest i end up with another joyce ... a love that due to my persistance not only lost but blocked my existance out of her life ... Somebody tell me what i can do ... "The ONLY Real Mistake is the one you Learned NOTHING from" Maybe just maybe ... i should really learn from that last mistake ... before it becomes A REAL MISTAKE I will regret making ... After all "like does not equate with love" Yet ... I know i will regret giving up now ... "A journey of a thousand mile starts with a single step" ... I need to know if this is ever meant to be ...
