In Words:

this past week has been weird....like seriously weird.

hmmm, how can you walk away from a fight unscathered and like never has every happened between? but then, both parties can don't acknowledge its existence and just well....walk away and continue to function on.

it's not like i want to pursue the matter because it's really just a misunderstanding on my part and there's really nothing much to it. but the fact that you can still talk to me amazes me....you really do treat me as a friend....and i'm everyday-grateful for that.

In Song:

the past week band practice has been not bad...as from an s.c, i've just recently talked to my friend in *JC....hahahaha and i'm grateful to be in YJC

personally, as a band member, i'm really glad that everything is finally coming into place. we've cleared the dirty dishes and finally sat down to do something and prevent everything that might bring us down the same dirty path.

i'm not an avid fan for screw-ups, and i'm sure you're not one too. but like what ms luo said, changes (as kindly as she have put it) is inevitable and we'll just have to work our way around it. yeah.....i agree, there's no point being rigid.

but yet again, don't let this be an excuse for those who are tempted to take shortcuts.

In Poetry:

that day during c.i.p, i really enjoyed myself with 222.....they say be careful what you wish for - indeed, i wished for a class like 222 and i got them...along with the lameness and laughter, in e.x.c.e.s.s.

but then nat said to us, jialiang, xinyi and me on the train that she love us (or something like that, can't really recall) and for a moment, my petty mind was frozen. so few people say such things anymore...and like the lyrics in chasing cars: those 3 words are said not enough.

i can't really reply because you know, frozen.

right now, i've thawed and i'ld like to say.

I love you too....and i'm everyday grateful for the joy and comfort you've brought me. although i'm not really accustomed to saying things...but i hope my actions and deeds can be felt through your heart.

to xinyi: for all the times you smsed me and said how much you'll be there for all of us...everytime it rang true in my heart and i want you to know that even though i don't reply (kris also feels guilty sometimes), but your msg always got through...and sometimes it's so hard to reply you since everything that i would have replied, will never do justice to your msg.

In Picture:

Ever wondered how much assumptions and stereotypes we make everyday?

today while talking to a friend, i realised alot of things. firstly, i'm proud to be a yjcian and for everything that our band has worked for,

i'm proud to be given the opportunity to cambodia and really, nearly, experience the lives of the cambodian folk to live there. How many times we say," We are going to live how they live" and everytime, we never wonder how close we came to practice what we preach. we may "live the cambodia life" with air-con and transport to everywhere and never realised how priviledge we still are even though we're "living the cambodia" life.

don't be ignorant....the world doesn't stop to appease you. you're not good just because you're from somewhere good.(get my drift)don't use the "brand" of somewhere good, to crave it unto yourselves.

In Soul:

the 20-ish undergraduate

the 30-ish junior accountant

the 40-ish manager

the 50-ish editor

the 60-ish artist

the 7o-ish grandmother

the 80-ish veteran

the 90-ish resident

.....what do they see that we don't see?

so many times, the way they work, they talk and their attitude bring a sense of anticipation to me.

what is it like to be "grown-up"...is it to be more aware of our world? then what, in the broader sense of the word, is to be more aware?

i can't wait to grow up and do something for the society, you may think me mad....sure, but there's this burning need suddenly, to set up schools for smart, yet underpriviledged kids to study.

i strongly believe a good school is supposed to maximize a studen'ts potential.

a government subisided school is supposed to maximize a student's potential without the burden of cost isn't it? (since it is a merit good :P)

are we truly doing that? then why do i hear isolated cases of students who are unable to do what they're passionate in because of cost?

right now, in the spur of a moment, i realised that i'm in a good school....because here is where i'm allowed to acheive to my maximum potential because that is what is happening. if we are given room to grow as a person - to learn life skills and knowledge that will aid us, not govern us, for the future, then wouldn't you say that you're in the right place?

who cares about the points you get when in the long run, you can get all the "points" in life....who cares if you're one-level up when eventually, we're all running the same rabbit race.

No one is sincerely different when it comes to indentity.....but everyone is different when it comes to your attitude towards what you believe is truly called Life.
