return

2005-10-15T23:28:00.000+08:00

and so it is... almost a year in exile and i'm back doing something i never expected myself to be doing again. and that's blog. but it's been a while, and i currently am in a situation that i feel i do my feelings no justice. such is the state of disrepair my blog is in, such is the emptiness of it, and i dont expect anyone to even notice this. but i believe this is required, a right of passage,

Internship

2004-12-11T17:41:00.000+08:00

If one thought 2 weeks, 14 days, 336 hours, 20160 mins or 1209600 seconds is long... i would beg to differ. Such was the speed of which my internship flew by, it was almost a blur... yesterday marked the end of a very brief journey for me, but it was not without reward. I've learnt so much from my stay there... more about myself... even in the most funny and relaxed of circumstances, to the

Internship at ISEAS

2004-12-09T14:34:00.000+08:00

i can't believe i never ever blogged about this internship... i think i will blog a LOT tomorrow on the whole issue. i just was thinking about the talk i attended on monday. a group of USA congressmen came and they were introduced to ISEAS and Singapore, and we just sat along and listened. There came a part that the issue was Singapore as compared to other ASEAN countries and it was saddening to

and so it ended..... 7000 delirious and raving fans packing the Singapore Indoor stadium to witness entertainment history in the making for our little island.... In the left corner, coming out on a Yellow Chevrolet Convertible.... the ultra-hip... sultry voiced King of R&B... Taufik Batisah.... In the right corner... coming out in a harley davidson troupe of motorbikes... the cool and ultra funky

finally back to the realm of blogging. OP done and now in full swing towards O team and training. after friday, chinese will too be a part of paper 2 history. good good. the aching reality that i had to face when i read the news yesterday was that a body which the authorities believed to be huang na's was found. the girl, which looked so innocent and pleasant, was taken from the world

OHANA!

2004-10-22T22:36:00.000+08:00

it's over.... unbelieveable... as manu put it so aptly... "i can believe it... 5 months of planning and it's all over".. and rightly so... and so it did... so much planning finally came to a resounding climax and summation today with open house. the boards littered with pictures of glorious sportsmen clutching their gold, the goodie bags splashed with colourful paints, the hawaiian guy and girl

Back at last

2004-10-19T10:46:00.000+08:00

After an eternity in the land of doom and destruction, known affectionally, and perhaps intellectually, as the promotional examinations, i've finally decided to return to blogging... it's been a torrid few weeks for me... i think i really did very badly for the promos... got back maths, and it's one of the subjects i really put effort in, and what did i get? a D... D -_-... haiz. and dayna chia

Friends

2004-09-13T23:05:00.000+08:00

well.. it's ended... after 10 long years of bringing joy to the faces of people all around the world, friends finally came to a close tonight... with a rather bitter-sweet ending. soppy as it may be... it was still rather sweet to me.. the sort of fairy tale ending. disappointing to those who believe a better resolution would be one that if Rachel had actually gone. but she didn't and i guess

2004-09-12T22:59:00.000+08:00

haiz... it's over... hols over. must say most of the hols were spent slacking... but the fact that some work was done approaching the end signals a distant hope that i will be amply prepared for promos... or i'm doomed to absolute failure... haiz... how to get S paper like that? i had my share of fun... and studies must begin again. i hope i can do well this year man... heh... anyhow... it's been

work is piling up on my door.... hope i can get it done.... but i guess i must write some of my feelings first. yesterday marked the end of the Athens 2004 olympics... 2 weeks of gruelling competition finally came to a climatic close under the night sky... where the ancient greek games were held. Medals were won, upsets were created, victory was sweet and records bit the greek dust as athletes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!!! yes one can clearly see that the patriotic blood in me is well and truly stirring. it's been a good weekend, except that i fell sick on saturday for a while, but i'm good now. the weekend was eventful, but it's saddening that the the long break is coming to a close, and work is back on the cards. today we turn 39. yet another chapter of our illustrious life begins,

i honestly don't blame you for this... as kay hian said, such things cant be predicted, but i can be prevented... i didn't do my part... i trusted too easily, too readily... to that person.... if this was unintentional it's ok... people make mistakes... if it was intentional, as your form of payback or revenge, so be it... you win, you did well, you struck me square in the jaw.... and i hope you

well... i think my blog is becoming a book review website... just finished reading another modern classic, The Alchemist by the master of faith and inspiration, Paulo Coelho. Well, it's really a book too good for words.... it teaches many things but ultimately it teaches us to fulfill our destinies.... if we keep quiet and think clearly for once in this hectic world, we might see what we actually

just finished reading that book... a little book of memories... so powerful... yet so simple, a book anyone can read, and still relate to with an almost unexplainable ease, no matter how old they are. Just how enchantingly the book touches on the simple matters of life, putting it in such a beautiful perspective, yet highlighting points that we just don't realise in life. How often have we

Fable Ending

2004-07-05T05:38:00.000+08:00

and so it ends, after 3 weeks of gruelling competition, not to mention the lethargy endowed upon us people of singapore thru severe lack of sleep, the euro 2004 competition finally drew to a climatic end this morning(singapore time), and with it, one of the the greatest crusades of modern day football ended with the sweet sweet taste of victory for the Greeks. Once again, it was golden boy

almost 2 days have gone, and the euphoria certainly hasnt died down. it's been a terrific week for RJ sports, with the tennis guys and hockey girls clinching silver, and the the ruggers, tennis girls, hockey guys and badminton guys and girls winning back the gold for the college. yesterday, the happy ruggers decided against school and we headed off early to go out. went LANning with joel tan,

IMMORTALITY

2004-05-26T20:07:00.000+08:00

it was fate. fate... as 15 individuals stepped onto the police academy turf, despite rain, that they knew, deep deep down inside, that nothing in the world could stopped them from their destiny. Nothing. Fate, that despite all the hard smashing, and justin just missing the try line by centimetres, all the sustained pressure, that daniel slotted in a kick to put AC 3-0 up. It was fate, that pravin

tomorrow... the summation of over a year of waiting and months of hardwork will finally be put to the final fore when RJC squares off against their arch rivals on the rugby field... ACJC. Although things havent been going really well for me in the rugby team and though i'm not in the team, i feel equally nervous and i would love to watch Raffles wrestle the 2nd of the three triple crown of rugby

"others will invite or reject you, depending on the respect that you have for their personal space. That is why the happy-go-lucky person who slaps everyone he meets or continually touches people during a conversation is secretly disliked by everyone" hmmm... bena has a really valid point there... maybe that's contrary to what josephians might think... but private space must be respected....

heartwarming moment

2004-04-27T23:34:00.000+08:00

as we were heading home in my dad's car, just barely 50m from our block's carpark, i noticed a cat sitting in the middle of the road. as we got nearer, it wasnt fazed or scared away by the glaring headlights of the vehicle, more than that, it actually bravely stood it's ground. feeling rather ticked off, i quipped, "what the hell is the cat doing in the middle of the road?!" finally, i noticed a

Vox Stellarum - Music Of The Spheres

2004-04-26T23:03:00.000+08:00

Wow. One word to describe Vox Stellarum. Just Plain wOw. amazing and breathtaking. Even a self-confessed music nut like me thoroughly enjoyed myself. All the pieces were a perfect harmony of fast and melodious music, that soothed the mind and invigorated the spirit. Kept the audience at the edge of their very seats, begging for more. And just when you thought that no musical piece composed by an

yawn... just did my SEA essay. Soccer's on now... seems unstoppable arsenal are on their way to the title. congrats arsenal fans! but my beloved red devils will be back! haha. anyhow... dance nite on friday was good, but somehow being so far up of the UCC gave me the view of the whole scene and it looked messy to me. though i think that's usually the case, that's why the stall seats are better.

i just heard this song on charlene's webby. it's not only beautiful and melodious by me, it's also very meaningful. it gets you thinking. on how you must treasure every part of your life. for once it's gone, you can never ever have it back. and that thought is always very underrated and often put behind our mind. 100 years by Five for Fighting I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between 10 and 20 And

Food for thought

2004-04-20T22:17:00.000+08:00

i guess Marcus made his point clear to me, and my services won't be required this year for RJ rugby. Not that it came as an enormous shock to me and all, considering my disastrous performances during training, the overall high standard of play in RJ, all that top class talent from the likes of people from the monstrous Jun ren to the unstoppable Alvin Tan, and coupled by this really f***** up

Thanks for writing all those letters to us yihan! well, i promised not to say wat happened but i do have thoughts on it... in life, things arent always what they seem, the facade created by our other selves shield a longing, passion or anger inside us. only we truly know what is in us. and so, all i

in the end.... the hols have gone. back to school tml. i've been relaxing away and done nothing much. besides training and the usual going-outs the hols have been all about lazing at home. realised homework is still not done, assignments are still not completed. and i'm going to school tml with half my work undone and running the risk of starting the term on a very bad foot. but what to do...

There and back again

2004-01-30T22:00:00.000+08:00

Almost been a week that i've been to this seemingly desolate and deserted place... and within this short 7 days, too many things have happened, too many thoughts to control, and i too lack the literary ability to put these whirlwind of thoughts into a written piece. As expected, i guess everyone would have guessed by now that inherent source of these ton of feelings is undoubtedly from RJC. dont

Well, firstly, must update on sch. i have got to know all my teachers, some are wonderful, and some are 'wonderful'. but my classmates are nice people and it's great being in the class i'm in.

Admist all the pre-school jitters, today was nothing short of a great day. reached RJ at ard 7 and after grouping around with the SJI guys i went up to the hall and met my group members for the orientation. My grp is Amethyz and we belong to Kasegon, one of the 2 sparring factions in the land of Jaxoras. Governed by science, the people of Kasegon rely on technology to help wage the war against

2004-01-01T02:11:00.000+08:00

2004 is here... 2003 gone... and here i am... way past my bed time, typing cos i know that this sudden rush of inspiration would otherwise depart from my mind should i slp now. the sudden rush of inspiration that comes with a whirlwind of emotions. celebrating the new year with 6H'99 was a decision that i know i will NEVER regret so long as i should live. as the clock struck 12am everyone was

End Of Year 2003

2003-12-31T17:08:00.000+08:00

2003. It has come. and gone. Now it's time to usher in the new year. For some of us, 2003 has been a time of joy, fun, discovery and happiness. For some, it has been miserable, boring and painful. The year has been tough on us, and on the world with so many things happening. But now, it's all in the past. because all that matters is that what is done is done. i know for some, u are still reeling

But i guess this trip is going to be a time for me to reflect, and learn new things, and hopefully i can get some answers to the questions in me. i'm goin to miss a hell lotta things, like

A walk to remember

2003-11-30T14:53:00.000+08:00

i just finished watching a walk to remember for the 8th time... it's a such a wonderful show.... and it's full of hidden meaning... but above all it shows the wonders of love. Love really can do miracles. the movie shows how love transcends all boundaries, how it defies logic and comprehension, how it conquers all. The sacred love 2 shared changed a person from a rotten brat to a great person, it

End of the world Cup

2003-11-22T20:46:00.000+08:00

The Rugby World Cup 2003 ended in dramatic fashion in what was the most exciting final international test rugby has ever witnessed. It probably caused the hearts of millions around the world to jump out of their mouths. the culprits of such a hideous act? Australia, the defending Champions, and England, who believed that their time had finally come. From the first minute, the match threatened to

now that the Os are over... i suddenly start thinking abt life again. so many things have happened over the last few months in the world and here in our little Dot of a country. i've seen the joy of the human spirit and i have smelt the stench that is moral decay. the turning of backs to friends, the backstabbing and the utterly unforgiveable act of betrayal. my friend was toking to me abt a

Rugby World Cup 2003 received it's first major upset when favourites New Zealand All blacks crashed out at the semi finals to the unfashioned Australian wallabies.

probably the most emotional day of my life in Sji. the whole sec 4 community gathered in the hall today to reflect on 4 years... well spent or not in SJI. To look back on the memories and all the ups and downs that we've gone thru in this 4 year roller-coaster ride in SJI. Dreams and aspirations littered the 'galaxy' of the class of 2003 as we had the final official gathering in our SJI lives.
