There is always
There is always
A little truth behind every "just kidding"
A little knowledge behind every "I don't know"
A little worry behind every "I don't care"
And a little pain behind every "It's okay"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I wish I could write down all my favourite excerpts from this book
but then it'll probably be too long for anyone to even feel like reading them
So I'm choosing the one that I am guilty of the most and share it
For your reading pleasure..

A little girl came home from school with a drawing she'd made in class. She danced into the kitchen, where her mother was preparing dinner.
"Mom, guess what?" she squealed, waving the drawing.
Her mother never looked up.
"What?" she said, tending to the pots.
"Guess what?" the child repeated, waving the drawing.
"What?" the mother said, tending to the plates.
"Mom, you're not listening."
"Sweetie, yes I am."
"Mom," the child said, "you're not listening with your eyes."
Now start wallowing in guilt and shame all of you! I know i did...

Went to watch this today @ vivo before NJD training...
Incite Mill...
Some psychological killer/suspense/mystery movie that the Nihon-jin always love to make.
Not too bad.. plot was so so and predictable though the mysteries weren't..
But overall it was entertaining enough for a weekend movie getaway..
After that zoomed down together to Ayer Rajar CC with YY and ZR for training.
2nd time at a Sunday class. The first time I went, the only black belt was JM. So i guess it felt like a normal thursday class to me back then. But today when there were so many other black belts present, it definately felt different.. hmmm.. how do I put it.. the blacks were as noisy as always, LOL! But training was more.. focused? Or I should say I spent more time actually training than waiting for someone else to finish their kick or be corrected..
Ended training with very weak knees coz of all the Yoyatsu-s I did..
Went out after training to meet YY's cousin.. then we all went for dinner at west coast..
The scenery crazy girl then wanted to go chill again.. so yeah.. ended up initially @ jurong hill.. but apparantly it wasn't enough to satisfy her insantiable appetite for high places, so we zoomed off again and ended up @ Mt faber!!!
Hmm.. everyone's getting busy..
Let's hope things will start picking up faster for me too..
Some other things that I wish to post and talk about..
But atlas... blog censorship has to be imposed.. too many eyes watching this space...
So yea.. I'll stop here ^.^
Should be enough to satisfy the appetitites of all you readers out there =b

There it is! It is confirmed!
My throat is now officially gone!
Woke up wincing from the pain after coughing abruptly in my sleep
It hurts like crazy now whenever I swallow or talk..
Like a sharp knife being put through it each time..
Guess it's my fault for not taking care of it properly ever since my fever started..
From this moment forth, no more fries, no more fried stuff, no more heaty food, no more going to sleep beyond, erms.. 5am? and more WATER.. like MORE more.. until I recover!
In other news..
My sleeping timings are getting more irregular than abnormal..
That probably attributed to me falling sick too..
Fundings are in the final stages of being approved, though the requested changes to the proposal were rather major..
Bro's bike broke down again -.-"
NJD chalet's over.. rather disappointed with certain things that caused me to miss the Official Launch of CAC Alumni, but I guess it's understandable why they did that.. no more organising for a while though..
My neighbour's dog, whom we once helped take care of for a few days while they went on holiday, passed on a few days back...
It always hurts me to see pets die.. feels to me like you lose a part of your live forever...
I'm never gonna hear his playful barks whenever we walk home from the lift anymore..
Just like how I'm probably never gonna hear your voice in my life anymore..
I'll probably never ever understand fully why you you had to do all those things..
The one action that ignited all these unhappiness and disagreements that lead to this painchilling stalemate...
And yes, you're right when you said you are qian bian..
To leave such a deep imprint in my life..
And then disappear so suddenly and completely leaving nothing but photos and memories..
Smiling doesn't mean that I've forgotten
Laughing doesn't mean that I'm happy
They just serve to hide whatever void that's left behind
Plagiarised, improved and returned..
Alrights, I'm gonna stop here because I don't wanna start getting emo so early in the day
(only figuratively, because it's actually already 3:30pm right now)
그댈 보면 얼굴이 빨개지고
그댈 보면 가슴이 두근두근
아이처럼 수줍게 말하고
Her lips, her lips, i could kiss them all day if sh'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates it but it drives me crazy
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while

I don't know..
Sometimes I just feel that words mean so much more when they are sung..
Like how sails are to the wind
And how a car is to an engine
Maybe that's why I write songs
To give meaning to what I want to say
Because words simply ain't enough
Maybe it could have been better
Maybe I could have been better
Doesn't really matter now..
Aunt's coming back from the US tmr..
To stay with grandma coz of her condition..
Still contemplating whether to go to the airport in the morning coz dad asked..
So worried that he'll end up in Terminal 1 instead of 3 -.-"
And this music player's seriously troublesome..
Coz i still have to upload the stupid vid onto youtube >.<
As always, pardon the singing
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The last gift from me to you..
Come to think of it, it's the first time i'm writing a song to someone..
Just so you know, I hate the way things are now
But then again, I believe you already know
INFALLIBLY
You said you weren’t ready
Your heart still wanderin’ blindly
The times I made you cry alone silently
Filled you with grief
You said, one day maybe
That if we were meant to be
Fate would surely see
That we would be what we used to be
She’ll hear your pleas
Oh baby, baby, baby
The things you did especially for me I know
I drive you crazy crazy crazy
My lazy dazey ways you had to put up with while you’re with me
I’m sorry, my baby for tearing up your dreams
I failed you miserably
I wasn’t there you see
When you needed me to be, infallibly
The times that I did poorly
Stopped you from ever sleeping soundly
You’re trying hard to hold the tears that flow endlessly,
As you think of me
Let me be, you shouted feebly
Through the phone, as you hung up on me
You lost the will to make me see
As you made me believe, my baby
You had given up on me
I wished that we were crazy
Mad enough to be so unfazed my baby
I had wanted us to be
So much more than that which we used to be
Infallibly

Meow, woof, croak!
Ok. I am guessing that the influx of animal sounds on the tagboard is an indication that this place needs a little bit of activity.
*Sidenote: I seriously think this is the best K-On song yet! *
Back to other stuff.. Today was wierd, frustrating, pissy, exhausting, fun, entertaining and indifferent all in one.. A melange of emotions in one whole package.. freaking phone stalker!
NJD kinda made my day hanging out with the bunch of peeps. training was interesting and painful as usual.. had some Hari Raya Special Package for warm up today -.-" Aching all over now.. and of course there was the usual crapping dinner after training..
Finally started working on the flash codings..Made some headway these few days, but then I soon got stuck again. bahhh! That's always the problem with learning something from scratch yourself.. Just like I did with the guitar..
Hopefully i'll be able to churn out the needed stuff in time for the proposal presentation next week bah..
I know I promised pictures.. but i'm really in no mood for uploading.. hahaha!
Missed soccer last week because of some work I had to finish, and I was too tired after finishing that I fell asleep straight away! Wanted so badly to go. hais..
Tennis next week with Junming.. havent played in a looooooooooooooooooooong time.. I'll probably get trashed by a 14 year old. LMAO!
Okays.. that's enough for today i guess.. maybe on another day when I am feeling more wordy ^.^

Best Week EVER!!!
Okay.. this week was nothing but fun, fun, fun, fun, fun and MORE FUN!!!!
I had 2 steamboats and 1 lunch cook off!!!! Frikkin fattening manz...
In contrast, next week's gonna be exercise week!!!
Finally playing soccer again on friday with the 21SA guys!!
Just came back from sending Yuann Shan off from the airport with the Cyrus people..
Had a steamboat dinner at her house before going over to the airport tgt with her family..
You seriously CANNOT STOP laughing with this bunch of people..
My stomach muscles have been hurting ever since the njd training on thurs, and I think that because of these 2 days with the cyrus madmen, my muscles cannot recover properly and in time for the next training. In fact, I think the aching got WORSE!!! ROAR!!!
But it was fun!!! hahahaha!!!
I guess there isn't just one way to be happy..
Gotta start on work already.. Lotsa stuff piled up over the weekends.. fighting!!!
Photos coming up soon!!!! ^.^

Okay, shall do a little cleaning up here by clearing the dust and posting a little update about the past few weeks since the start of August...
Had wanted to post pictures initially, but halfway through sorting them out, i realised there were just too many of these past 3 weeks to squeeze into 1 post so I shall post them another time.. maybe =b
Somehow it feels like I have flipped to a brand new chapter of my life starting the 1st of this month, kinda made official after returning from the short holiday to Batam with a bunch of friends I've made in the GD course.. something like a graduation trip now that the course is officially over..
My thoughts on the course? If you ask me, it feels like whatever knowledge I've picked up.. the technical skills, the tools, the internship experience, the opportunities.. they don't count for much when compared to this bunch of crazy-assed, like minded friends that I've got to know in this one year.
And it's ultimately these bonds i formed with them, that I feel are the greatest, and dare i say it, only assests I've truly gained in this year. I sure am gonna miss the times I've spent with them. The late nights, AND the early mornings in the shitcold-crazy lab. The painful (for our wallets.. or mine at least.. haha!) trips to nihon mura. The DOTA matches. The pantry lunches. The complain sessions about bosses, horrible english speaking teachers, lame jokes and so much more. Thanks for everything that you guys have shared with and given me although many of you probably won't read this ^.^
Next up, after coming back from the holiday, was to WORRY (what's new) about what's going to be. Job offers coming in, didn't tempt me enough. They weren't.. how should i put it, what I wanted to do? I mean, if I were to take those offers up, I might as well have stuck with an engineering job back then rights? After all, wasn't that the reason why I dumped my degree to go into another field in the first place? To do something i actually want to do.
So yea, decided to try for the startup with JY. Risky, yes.. but what is the point in living a life doing something you can't find a meaning in? After all, I'm still YOUNG rights??? Relatively at least ^.^
I figured I probably shouldn't start thinking about pursuing crazy stuff like this only after slogging half my life away in a small cubicle in a corner of some cramped up office doing some simple unimpactful and unimportant programming codes rights?
The other thing that had been plentiful and bountiful for these past weeks, were birthdays!!!! OMG there are like so many!! Didn't even know I had that many 89 friends!!! But it was fun catching up and mixing around with people again. Made a few new friends here and there, caught up with some others. Saw faces I haven't seen in a loooooong time.
The next buncha people I've been seeing really often are the people from ninjado!!!! Another bunch of fun and interesting people to be with. Kinda like a miniature family by itself the way everyone compliments each other. I guess it's always fun to meet new people.. To learn about them. To learn from them. People from all walks of life. And i'm still learning new things by the day! Like Alice's extreme fear for cockroaches! Didn't tell her that she kinda have the same fear as me though =b
Of course the training's a whole thing altogether. The warm ups are still painful like crazy though I'm slooooowly getting used to it. Push-ups with my kunckles are still... something else... something... I have to work on more? lol!
Anyone knows how to magically grow more meat on your knuckles? >.<
Seeing everyone getting their new belts makes me feel happy for them. After all they have been working hard for it.. Kinda can't wait for my grading in FOUR LOOOOOOOONG months time.. oh mannn, I'm gonna be a white belt for 5 months! Roar!
The family's much closer now.. though it still feels britle. like temporary? But I guess spending time DOES make a difference. Guilty as charged..
Zoomed down to cine with the crazy brother at 4am to watch airbender 2 weeks back. Something I probably wouldn't have done in the past.
I knew that he would watch movies alone from time to time, but I never bothered offering to watch with him even though I would still be awake at those crazy timings in the morning. Until now..
I guess Starcraft 2 did help a little too. After all it was somthing that we did together..
Well, all I can say is that sometimes, things happen for a reason. And more often than not, you do not see the reasons until much later.. I guess if my life had been what it was a few months back, I probably would not have been able to have found the time to do all the above mentioned things. Not that my life back then wasn't good, or that I wasn't happy, but i guess there should always be a balance? And my life back then definately wasn't balanced. So yea, I like the way things are right now i guess? And I like that we are talking and going out every once in a while again =)
Alrights.. Until the next update! (Hopefully with pictures from Batam, the parties and the gatherings!)
And hopefully the talks go well tmr.
And i can't wait for k-box in the evening with Miss Kee, Miss Yam and Mr Wong.
And the steamboat at my place on wednesday with the IDGT peeps!
And ninja-do training on thursday.
And the cook off on saturday with Cyrus!!!
WTHS! I didn't know i was this packed for the week!
BZBZBZ!!!
Please let me fall asleep! =(
Had wanted to post pictures initially, but halfway through sorting them out, i realised there were just too many of these past 3 weeks to squeeze into 1 post so I shall post them another time.. maybe =b
Somehow it feels like I have flipped to a brand new chapter of my life starting the 1st of this month, kinda made official after returning from the short holiday to Batam with a bunch of friends I've made in the GD course.. something like a graduation trip now that the course is officially over..
My thoughts on the course? If you ask me, it feels like whatever knowledge I've picked up.. the technical skills, the tools, the internship experience, the opportunities.. they don't count for much when compared to this bunch of crazy-assed, like minded friends that I've got to know in this one year.
And it's ultimately these bonds i formed with them, that I feel are the greatest, and dare i say it, only assests I've truly gained in this year. I sure am gonna miss the times I've spent with them. The late nights, AND the early mornings in the shitcold-crazy lab. The painful (for our wallets.. or mine at least.. haha!) trips to nihon mura. The DOTA matches. The pantry lunches. The complain sessions about bosses, horrible english speaking teachers, lame jokes and so much more. Thanks for everything that you guys have shared with and given me although many of you probably won't read this ^.^
Next up, after coming back from the holiday, was to WORRY (what's new) about what's going to be. Job offers coming in, didn't tempt me enough. They weren't.. how should i put it, what I wanted to do? I mean, if I were to take those offers up, I might as well have stuck with an engineering job back then rights? After all, wasn't that the reason why I dumped my degree to go into another field in the first place? To do something i actually want to do.
So yea, decided to try for the startup with JY. Risky, yes.. but what is the point in living a life doing something you can't find a meaning in? After all, I'm still YOUNG rights??? Relatively at least ^.^
I figured I probably shouldn't start thinking about pursuing crazy stuff like this only after slogging half my life away in a small cubicle in a corner of some cramped up office doing some simple unimpactful and unimportant programming codes rights?
The other thing that had been plentiful and bountiful for these past weeks, were birthdays!!!! OMG there are like so many!! Didn't even know I had that many 89 friends!!! But it was fun catching up and mixing around with people again. Made a few new friends here and there, caught up with some others. Saw faces I haven't seen in a loooooong time.
The next buncha people I've been seeing really often are the people from ninjado!!!! Another bunch of fun and interesting people to be with. Kinda like a miniature family by itself the way everyone compliments each other. I guess it's always fun to meet new people.. To learn about them. To learn from them. People from all walks of life. And i'm still learning new things by the day! Like Alice's extreme fear for cockroaches! Didn't tell her that she kinda have the same fear as me though =b
Of course the training's a whole thing altogether. The warm ups are still painful like crazy though I'm slooooowly getting used to it. Push-ups with my kunckles are still... something else... something... I have to work on more? lol!
Anyone knows how to magically grow more meat on your knuckles? >.<
Seeing everyone getting their new belts makes me feel happy for them. After all they have been working hard for it.. Kinda can't wait for my grading in FOUR LOOOOOOOONG months time.. oh mannn, I'm gonna be a white belt for 5 months! Roar!
The family's much closer now.. though it still feels britle. like temporary? But I guess spending time DOES make a difference. Guilty as charged..
Zoomed down to cine with the crazy brother at 4am to watch airbender 2 weeks back. Something I probably wouldn't have done in the past.
I knew that he would watch movies alone from time to time, but I never bothered offering to watch with him even though I would still be awake at those crazy timings in the morning. Until now..
I guess Starcraft 2 did help a little too. After all it was somthing that we did together..
