The irony of Life

There is alot i wanna type but time is a limiting factor ... I know its 10pm on a friday night and I've no plans the following morning ... But lap top died on me ... so don't expect me online much =\ Of coz I'm not totally beyond reach, handphone is still available ... Haiz ~ Lappy do come home soon =(
A little prayer for the little problems recently ...

Dear lord ...
Your humble serf kneels before you again ...
only to seek that you intervene into his insignificant life ...
To heal this time not wounds of his own ...
Nor solve matters that concerns him direct ...
But to spread thy healing wings over the people around him ...
I know your powers are limitless and your mercy boderless ...
Unlike the many humans that tread this sicken earth ...
Hence I throw myself before only to ask that you heal our unworthy souls once more ...
In Jesus' Most Merciful Name ... I pray for friends in need ...
Amen ~

Note: As much as I believe our lord is almightly and all knowledgable ... I fear the many made in his likeness fails to inherit his character ... And many more who studies his ways to reach this point fails to move in the right directions for their eyes are far too much clouded by words and perceptions ... many lose sight of the truth of character ...

CryoTherapy

Went to NSC yesterday for wart removal ... my family GP recommended a laser removal ... But NSC's consultant Dr.Chong decided that its more advisible to put me on cryotherapy ... Wondering if Laser would had been a better option ... hmmm ... *wonders*

OH well anywayz ... Not sure abt them warts ... BUT I know I was getting freezed to the core of my feet with liquid nitrogen -_-" and one would think thats the end of the torment at least till nxt treatment scheduled 2 weeks from now ... BUT NO ~ bloody blisters are formed ... did some read up on the net ... and realised that its part of the treatment -_-" ... Anywayz got them punctured today at my GP's ... Think I'll do my own puncturing nxt time ... cost me $24 to puncture 2 blisters and get a tube of cream ... sheez ...

Well enough abt the torments =
Heres a little surprize i picked up while reading up on blisters ... some adventurers came up with a 6 dice game of BLISTERS ... named affectionately after the empire residing on both his feet haha ~ Anywayz interesting game ... Inspiring too think I'll have Quayzard suggested to somebody and start selling too *winkz*

What is Quayzard ? Its something that came to me in my dreams interesting game ... hmm ... Wanna know more come to me ... The name ? well it came with the dream too so don't ask ... Been having quite a few dejavu with dreams and reality ... Think i'm prophetic ? hahaha
Simon The Visionary ! sounds cool ehz ? *mindless laughter*

Went for a moive with Ariel last nite ~ Brothers Grim ... Interesting show ... complilation or maybe more of adaptations of quite a number of european fairytales all came together in a tale of swindlers turned heros ... where seeing is believing and believing is the key to sucess ~ HaHa ~ They should empoly me to slogan their movie =)

Well supposed to be in sch working on FYP but them bloody blisters are still in my way ~ Hopefully I'll regain my mobility soon

The New Chapter

Ah yes ~ Finally we come to the end of this seemingly long semester ... 7 weeks of academics never felt longer ... Been a frantic ... heavy semester that made absolutely no sense to me ... turbulance levels never hit greater heights on the meters of problems and troubles ... Enduring it was definately no breeze of wind ... I guess one word sums it all ... "Katrina"
Haha a little exaggerated but yea ~ u get the idea =)
Well glad that this chapter is coming to an end ... the "holidays" hopefully bring a better semester ahead ... FYP & training would occupy most of the holiday period ... My plans ? None out of school work ... But hoping to spend sometime catch up with old friends ... repair those rusty bridges and those erroding with time ... feel quite guilty for not keeping in touch with old friends ... But this semester has taught me that we build bridges not to leave them to rot ... Picking up the big mess after the storm is another thing to be done =)
Oh yes ! camps ... time for simon to go back to the participant level and enjoy camps while i still have the chance ... the feel of NS is creeping in on me ... and I'm not liking it ... I love my country I'd die for its people if I must ... But I'm just never keen on military discipline =(
So people ... If you're free OR you've a camp I can come to ... do let me know =)

Heres another msg : IF YOU'RE READING THIS BEFORE TUESDAY 20th OF SEPTEMBER AND YOU WERE PREVIOUSLY FROM MAYFLOWER .... DO CALL ME WITH REGARDS TO A REUNION DINNER CUM XJ & DAP'S FAREWELL ...

At Peace With Myself ~

Past few days had been good =) Peaceful ... Quiet ... Not many emotional outburst ...
Save the mental torment of studying ... I guess its been the best days this semester !
Had a nice fruitful talk with deyang a few nites back ... though it was a short conversation ... but my dear friend has always been a great mentor who gives great counsel ... You know what ? I think you're right bro ! I feel so much better now ...
PDC is seems to be stuck ... God Bless Us ? hahaha
Anywayz 3 papers down and two more to go ! Getting there people ... Push it !

Sunday at long last ~

Well well ~ Tanglin Friendly was yesterday and ngee ann went home with all the gold throphies !!! =) *cheers to NPF*
Sabre Teams bagged a Gold for both Men's and Ladies' events ... A Silver as well ~
Foil Teams brought home the another 2 Golds for Ngee Ann ...
A Day to celebrate indeed ... 5 teams and 5 top throphies ! Although we were fencing only Tanglin Secondary ... Sounds like bullying kids ... But trust me we have no more fencing experience than they do =P
Pesta Sukan would give us a better national standing and our teams managed to bring home 2 Silvers from the Sabre events ~ So based on that I suppose we aren't really bad either =)

I think I've a soft spot for people in need ... friend, foe or otherwise ... wonder if that is all good ... makes me a bad soldier =(

I should be studying ~

Hmm ... blogging agian ? Damn I must be feeling really off ~ -_-" Well ... with knowledge that some unpleasent people may have access to my blog ... I'm still gonna just pour my heart out =\ Like why the fuck would i care yar ?
Mmm ... Mrs.Tang u don't know how right you are ... Stress ... Strains and Implications ... I'm dying ... Year 3 is really a phrase u wanna get out of "faster faster" (as dr.zaman would say) ... Hai~ I really should pull myself together and get my life back on track ...
I can cry out to God for a million times ... pour out to everyone I see ... but its not gonna help sitting ard whinning and praying for miracles ~
Deyang where are u ? I need your ever reassuring words ... This brother of mine is always there to put me back on track ... to give me the right advice at the right time ... to help me sort out my thoughts when i've sank far deep below ... but like all people we meet ... our paths will diverage ... =(
Ben ? Ben ? Are u anywhere near ? Yet another name that sooths the heart with words and a tide slap to wake up one's idea ...
Simon is a bad guy ... Seeks people only when in need ... Simon has weak character ... cannot accomodate excessive people in his life ... cannot handle his own emotions ...
This post WILL soon be deleted ... I hope ... ha ~ For my enemies enjoy ... For my friends ... I'm sorry you guys have to see this ...

Am I The Healer Or The Killer ?

If u guys remember the post I once made regarding how some people can pour every bit of love they have into someone's life and yet the other party simply doesn't notice and may even be only pouring love elsewhere ?
I guess all of a sudden I feel guilty ... Life has been an emotional roller coaster for me ... Alot stuff been happening ... I feel neglected ... I feel lost ... I'm in pain ... But in this process of self pity I've become what i hate the most (self-centered, ignorant, unreasonable, childish) ... I'm so focus on getting one person's attention ... I failed to realise that there are those who are giving me attention and waiting for me to respond ... =( I'm sorry people ... Simon has not been the guy you all know ... Amongst all ... I wanna publicly apologise to xj who has always been there for me just that i never really showed appreciation nor did i responded well to her =(
Thankz xj ~
Emotions surely has taken its toll this time around ... find my academic performance dropping, my physical performance dropping, my abilities to communicate to entertain ... everything ... What is wrong with me ? It has never came to this point before ... gotta pull myself together =\ Come on Simon ~ Time to get back on track ...
Staff and student was a diaster with me not being on top form ... =( I'm sorry edmund and huiting ... sorry Ayu , Hardi and Shu Juan ... But then again I think its just my high expectations ... met a few peeps ... appears we've made quite an impact =)
Well ... I have mentioned in previous post abt this bugger who walked into my life and intended to make his problem mine ? Guess he must be the evil I must remove ... YET I feel sorry for him ... I feel that If I'm to seriously take actions against him ... then he might not be able to take it ... BUT ... Its hard to choose between killing yourself and someone else ... liddat how ? someone tell me please ? God's choice is clear ... self sacrifice ... but I'm not God ... so how ?
*looks into the heavens* Shine me thy guiding light ?

Funny Story ?

If you've been reading this blog u know that there is nothing to look forward to ... It catalogs only the worse parts of my life rarely anything good happens to me =( Everything good is probably because of everything bad that has happened ? HaHaHa
As usual ... Just dropping by to let my emotions out ... Been having a tough time with a close friend ... Infact been having tough times with 2 close friends ...
Bevan does seem to be anywhere in sight or within my reach anymore ... Where is my brother ? Will he be back ? What does it mean to abandon your friend apologise and never to return ? I'm waiting Bro ... If U're reading ... please contact me soon ? I never could hold anything against U for more than a day ... Come home to me Bro ... I'm waiting ...
U think with such a blow I'd be dead ? I thought so too ... But thanks to many friends ard me ... Whether or not they know of the case ... I remain sane ... Then again ... You nv expect 2 blows in the same semester ... would ya ? Well thats my life ...
Relationship between me and Jess has never been worse ... Especially at such a weak time ... What one needs is not another close friend to walk out on you ... I can't help but having many thoughts ...
Well at least things are seemingly becoming better for us ... with the talking and a little heart to heart we've come to an understanding ... BUT sometimes ... being the good guy isn't easy ...
Times are getting diffucult ... Mrs.Tang was right ... Year 3 is a trying year where relationships strains, faith fades, emotions runs wild ... Will to go on is under threat ... Everything is too fragile for big moves ...
This is the time I think a close friend is of utmost importance ... Someone you can talk to ... Someone you can trust to always be there when you look ...
So year 2s be prepared ~ Build Strong BONDS ... Keep your close friends close ...
Where do i stand ? I stand victim to someone else's incapacity to maintain his own clique, to keep his friends and someone who innocently or otherwise decided its alright to walk into someone else's life and take their friends as his own during such trying times ...
OF CAUSE ... he is an INNOCENT guy ... he is a NICE guy ... just needs a friend ... so who am I to say he is in the wrong ? I can only blame myself that my heart cannot capacitate and accomodate people ... Silly Simple Issue ... OF CAUSE IT IS ... Silly am I ... Simple is the situation ... Issue here is ... So some people walks into my life and makes himself comfortable ... because his is ruined ... So heres the million dollar question ? AM I TO WALK INTO AND RUIN SOMEONE ELSE's LIFE ?
OF cause plenty of people will know who I'm refering to ... But it is NOT good to wrong INNOCENT ... PITIFUL ... NICE guys who just needs a friend ... So I rather WRONG myself ... after all ... I'm quite sure I'm not INNOCENT ... not PITIFUL and not a NICE guy ... nope not all ... BAH ~ !

Life ... how VERY wonderful ...

Hello ~ wondering why I'm blogging at such an hour ? me too ... Should be doing reports that are due tml ... but dumb me decided to visit a number of blogs and sank deep into feeling sorry for myself again ... so I just HAD to find an outlet before i continue ...
I really don't understand where I've gone wrong ... sometimes I think i do ... but then again ... when i sit to think ... I'm not really that wrong ... so whats wrong ? HA ... I wished I knew ...

Heres a something that has been huanting me badly for quite awhile ...
If u love someone u're better off letting her do what she wants ... BUT what if when u do ... it'll only hurt u ? This is called self sacrifice ... Or after awhile I think I'm plain dumb ... BUT at least I remain a nice guy ...
So heres my new strategy in appoarch of getting myself a gf ... Find a nice gal ... whack within 3 dates ... Sounds crazy ? Beats waiting ard for 2 years knowing u'll get nothing in the whole mix ... If U want advice ... being too nice to people means being too bad to yourself ... where there is ying there is yang ... where there is good there is evil ... where there is balance everything is good ... when balance is tilt ... then one man's gain is the other's loss ... Chew on that ~ Believe it !

Well on the bright side (though given I'm supposed to do work not that good but appreciated) ~ got dragged out in the afternoons by team venturejuana ... Attendance was lack of Edmund Lim (Logistic & Entertainment Specialist) & Casper (Programs, Finance & Adventure Consultant). Present were Ayu (Safety and Programs Consultant), Ariel(Secretary & Entertainments Specialist) & Brian "The Boss" (need i say more?) .... Attempted to catch the fireworks ... not very successful ... Had a good dinner at carl jr. and an absolutely wonderful time at Mind's Cafe (Boss got cheated into getting membership) so ... I guess we'll be back there more often =p

Basic Communications With Your Soul ~

Good Afternoon ~ I'm sitting in office doing nothing once again ... so heres a little update and some thoughts i had of recent ... rememeber its all my opinions ... enjoy ~
Life I guess is never an easy road ... closing to 2mths 1 wk of attachment with CMM has given light to many misconceptions and previous believes for me (with regards to life ... society ... laboratories and people)
I guess working is never meant to be something fun ... but as the saying goes " how much fun you have depends very much on how much fun you want to have "...
In the reseach environment, fun is not a tangible value (then again ... since when was it tangible) ... So I guess passion is the key to sustaining the will to come to work and go through the same crap everyday =) However passion isn't something that comes at will ... which brings me to ponder if I will eventually go into the line of research ... Will Dr.Simon Soh become a dream that never becomes reality ? only time will tell ...
To me the research life meant exciting discoveries and endless mind boggling puzzles to be sloved with people working together to make it all happen in an intensive environment with uncountable array of chemicals ... Well the fact is ... I'm not all that wrong ... arrays of chemical yes ... just not really in use all the time ... intensive environment ... er ... not really ... people working together ... perhaps just a few ... in fact looking on the bright side lab isn't all that serious a place to be ... yet the endless repetition of the same protocol isn't exactly what i was looking for ...
Well enough abt labs and work ... i guess not many out there (even biologist in trg) may end up working in labs ... so moving on ...
In the course of time between now and when i first left sch for attachment ... I've come to realise that some habits that one may assume people grow out of may actually linger late into their lives if not attended to ... people in their 20s with no social skill .... people reaching their 30s with no goal in life ... people in their 30s with a general distaste for life & people ... I don't know ... maybe somewhere in there life they lost sight of their goals ... maybe somewhere along the path they forgot that their roots ... or maybe ... just maybe they sank into depression and gave up but no one ever came along to pick them up ...
In my opinion these people really need some help ... nothing too special ... perhaps from family ... a friend that cares ... if not there is always God ...
I can go blabber on and on ... for the rest of the day ... but from 11 20 in the morning ... I've been trying to post this entry till now ... which is abt 11 20 at nite ... so I shall type more another day ... For now my friends =) More for all to ponder on ...

Quote of the day:
"When in high spirits ... Seize the day ~ live it for what it is worth ... Yet keep in sight thy goal and forget not thy roots ...
When downcast by moods ... Dispair not & live for the better tomorrow ~For the goal is nearer with each passing moment ~ Take comfort that from thy roots strength is free to be drawn ... "

The Friendly Community ~

Well today has been interesting ... Went out for a walk ard town with shahid and henry ~ Very very fruitful day indeed ... Got myself a new polo tee but still no berms/pants ...
But ~ First we met a really old friend koon mean (jun min) - president of MFSC when I was in sec 1 ... Then met Terry and Zhi Hui (wonder if they're dating) ... Then there is KaiXiang and later met Wei Ming (my NCO when i was in sec 1) ... followed by Veronica (old friend from CISCO) ... Finally ... there met Casper ~ haha how many people can u meet in a day !!!
Well ~ after we concluded that we had enough walking for a day we retired to karim - the usual chill out mama shop for teh tarik and chup chai ~ haha like thats a new idea yar ? healthier choice of finger food ~
Damn boring post rite ? HaHa ... I guess I shouldn't really be sad and disappointed with my life ... given the amt of friends i have ... But ~ being only human I'll want more ...
Ever noticed that the one who is always there for people don't really have that many people who is always there for him when he is in need ? I guess if u're the one always there for someone or everyone u'd probably notice haha ~ I'm not complaining that there isn't enough people ard for me ... neither am i saying that I'm such a nice guy that I'm always ard for people ... but just wondering why people can become so devoted to give to certain people but not others and yet those on the receiving end may be more interested in pouring their love and their concerns elsewhere ? For someone else ?
The most conventional answer : Humans are objective and goal oriented creatures (yes everyone ... like it or not) ... We're designed in such that we will do what we deem beneficial to ourselves. Its a matter of how one defines beneficial ... It may not be a bad thing ... yet it can be a terrible thing ...
The true answer ? There is none ... For that only God knows ... What we can do is to ask ourselves ... the 5 wives and 1 husband technique ... Why? Where? When? What? Who? How ? ... I think this is the one technique MOE has decided everyone should know and I had nothing to argue abt ... it works for everyone for alot of things ... well just a little thought to chew on ~

Updated at long last =P

Well Well ~ either been freaking bz or freaking bored ... Here are some highlights of my life in the past month or so ...
Yet another retreat with shahid ... clayton but this time without joel instead we've got henry ... Ubin is massively changing rapidly ... I do hope the goverment will not destroy this small island paradise that gives the slightest of kumpung life left in singapore .... It holds many memories for many people ... The old ... the young ... couples ... friends ... cadets ... adventurers ... kumpungers ... Alot ... Well the trip was no lost met some TAS people in trg not really very friendly but i guess they're just in trg ... Met some guys from a SFC ( Singapore Flying College) ... now they were very friendly ! asked for cigarettes -_-" Well Well ... cept a little trouble from some dogs apart from that we had fun =)
LSCT Freshmen Orientation Camp =) Once again living the high life of a GL ? haha Not exactly ... as an SGL at camp ... We've became more of a support and advice committee rather than taking up the challenge running and executing in the lime lights ... Don't get me wrong ... it has it fun part ... and we're still running and executing the camp just at a different level and outside the limelights most of the time ... Not I mind ... but it would had been nicer if i've got to know some of the freshies =\ But nonetheless I wasn't really in the top of mood myself ... and i did get to know a couple of the GLs better so no reason complains i guess ...
Apart from that got to know some of the AGLs and even some of my fellow SGLs better ... Went for a little trip overnight at palawan beach completed with our very own campfire ! Haven't had any kinda campfire since ... maybe the ubin retreat with joel ... Had our small adventure of a night walk ... not very exciting ... but I guess everyone is just tired ...
I guess that sums up the happier times ... Work is getting routine ... I've been out alot ... but somehow a certain part of me is just empty ... unfilled out ... lack of a little something ... I don't know what is wrong with me ... Been searching myself for awhile ... looking for a reason of my being ... thinking abt problems left unsolved for ages ... I've found some answers and more questions wonder if this whole idea is worth it ... Been freaking moody and i've no one to talk to ... simply becoz there is nothing i can say ! arghz ~

Finding the Balance : Work & Life ~

Juggling time is perhaps the one skill that is most emphasized but least mastered of arts throughout one's school life as a student ~ How often does one hear the phrase "You have to learn to juggle your time for school work, CCA and yourself" ?
Often have I heard and read from comments of teachers on students, so and so has good time management juggling both academics and CCA ... That alone seems good enough for the teachers/mentors of schools ... Yet ~ how often do we neglect the fact that Balance is not just work ~ There is also Life to worry abt ~ afterall Life is what we're living ... work is what we do to sustain it based on society requirements ...
Being on attachment one learns that in an enviroment of work there are limitations social life ~ People pays you to work for a certain number of hours a week and that is something you're compelled to do ~ Unlike school ... you don't get to just sit ard and listen ~ At work one has to think more often than one receives instructions ... Another difference is ~ the learning process very experiential based ~
I think I might had side tracked too much ~ back to the topic ... the working life has much limitations to social life ~ Very often ~ social life is highly compromised for those who makes no efforts to maintain it ~ Then again ... it is very tiring to juggle between the two to reach the Balance ... For myself ... it has very much been a chore and I'm only experiencing working life on a minimal level ~ God help me ~ Gotta learn to adapt to it ~ Adding to that there are emotional attachments to friends that one takes very much granted in school ... the day to day people you see ... you play with ... you laugh with ... One just don't see them often anymore ~
=) Alot of getting used to after a little reflection on a week's work ~
Till nxt time ~ I leave one and all to ponder over the theme of Balance of Work and Life ~

Call Me DrosophilaMan~

Hello People ~
Day 3 starting to settle into CMM ~ Getting to know more new people and those I already know are getting friendlier ( don't get me wrong ~ they are already friendly people ~ Just getting more familiar thats all... )
Been working with flies since day 1 ... Being someone who never liked anything more than 4 legs I guess this is a BIG thing ~ Working 3 days with flies ... larvae and pupae ~ This week is generally selection for breeding and taking care of those pesky lil' things ~ Next week I'll be going on a KILLING spree as we move into the disection and screening phase ~
Got my temp card ~ so NO MORE PINK LANYARD ~
Tml shall go ard biopolis and enjoy a little stroll ard =) EXPLORATION ~
Btw a little note on today's title ~ the flies i'm working with are Drosophila Flies (or more commonly known as the fruit flies ~ you can find them lingering ard your bunch of ripe bananas and garbage bags) ... so the rest I'll leave it to your imaginations =p

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
