live the day like it's the last day of your life.
Thursday, July 30, 2009
for some reason, i tried living the day like it's the last day you have on this world.
and i must say, the world is a beautiful place.
we may be confined in a small island called singapore, with qualms about many things - the government, public transport, healthcare...but one cannot deny, that singapore, like many parts of the world, has a hidden charm. as i walk along the streets, observe how people move from one place to another, i realise that there's this silent beauty staring at everyone, waiting to be discovered.
yes, the world is a beautiful place. too good to be true.
世界那么大
欲望少一点 快乐就多一点
因为你更有空间看见
原本就在你身边
属于你的美好
sometimes, it's good to slow down the pace of life, and look at life and the world in a different persepctive.
and i realise, despite all the problems i faced, i had a good life so far. to those who knew me, and made a difference to my life, thank you.
may my life ahead be a better and more enriching one.

back to gedong
Sunday, July 26, 2009
yes, i'm posted back to gedong...quoting my warrant in SI, i'm only a NSF, so just go back and follow instructions. I really wonder what's in store for me there...
another fruitful weekend. met my bmt mates and caught a movie. Public Enemy isn't that bad, I just didn't like the ending. Was cool catching up with them, although I'm the most unlucky amongst them...no choice, LL suck thumb ba.
as i was teaching gp, i realised many issues are not as simple as they seem. the challenge now is to simplify them so that a normal student can comprehend, yet not over-simplify them to such an extent that the complexity of the issue is compromised...i hope i'm doing a decent job.
i guess i learn alot by teaching them. there are still alot of things for me to learn and appreciate...my few months in ns has given me the opportunity to see different types of people...i guess that's the gift of serving 2 years. but don't think it's proportionate though...
wells, it's back to camp tomorrow. the old faces...best of luck...

another update.
wally has been talking alot on achieving his goals in life. he has great ambitions, which is great. as we discuss about such things, i ponder about what kind of a person i will become in the future. what things will i have achieved, say 10 years down the road. what kind of friends i will mix around with.
i've always believed in doing the things which i want to do. but there are obstacles in life. even right now, i face people who really suck. i cannot imagine what kind of people i will face in the future. i don't know.
sometimes, i wonder if it's right to plan so far ahead. we need to live in the present, and enjoy every moment that we have. for you never know when will things make an abrupt turn...but whatever i want to do now is under the control of my friends. i have...no control. sigh...
i should quit thinking and go to sleep.

this part is specially for my good friend, justin.
yes, i've read your post. no, i don't think you are crazy, i think you're perfectly right in many many things. in fact, sometimes i think i learn alot from you.
there's something about myself that...i think i want you to know. it's probably worse than whatever that is stated in your post. contact me when you free, like during your term break and stuff. then we can talk...i will be waiting. =)

another week...
Sunday, July 19, 2009
friday was one of the lousiest day i had in my ns life thus far; everybody was pissed at one another. guard duty, the radio exercise which is coming up, the screwed up regular who got angry because he was f-ed by someone of a higher rank...and the story goes on.
now that it's finally over, everyone is happy. and there's only one more week to end of course, which makes everyone anxious and excited. i hope i get some 8-5 job instead of going back to gedong; air force will be great i suppose. then again, chances are slim...i can only pray.
wanted to watch harry potter yesterday, but relatives came over. it's a rare event really, so harry potter has to wait.
within half a year, my stylist got promoted to a creative stylist, means i have to fork out 10bucks more everytime i cut my hair. ah well, personalised service eh?
things are slowly beginning to work out...and i hope everything will be fine soon. i shall remain optimistic. =)

date with myself

let's see...did quite a couple of things this weekend. watched ice age 3 on friday night, went for bp opera earlier this afternoon. both are worth the catch, so no regrets.
yea, i miss bp.
it's another 2 more weeks to the end of my course, really can't wait for it to be over. hope next week will be a smooth sailing one, my good old course sgt isn't around, and some regular is taking over. zzz. i'm fine without nights out, but not confinement...
sometimes i really wonder what kind of a person am i, what i'm worthy of...probably not even a reply? i don't know.
whatever man...not in the mood to care already.
friends, just what are they?

what if
Friday, July 03, 2009
what if everything that you once believed in, turns out to be fiction?
what if everything that you thought was false, turns out to be true?
what if you realise that you have been running away from reality?
what if you realise that you have been deceiving yourself for the longest time ever?
life is full of 'what ifs'. the list can go on and on...sometimes, it's really better to let things come to you, and not bother too much.
let things be, my friend, let things be.
