Believe me I care
Even though I bring about despair
Days turn into nights
Reflecting upon the wrongs
Vain attempts to make them right
Apology is all I can give
Accept it from me please

...Lo aNd BeHoLd...
One night ago, I was praying that this day would never come but with God's grace it came and everything just went uphill. In the afternoon, I had a hearty chat with a good friend who triggered me into thinking about my priorities in life.
In the evening, I went out with Takeshi and Kevin for dinner at a Japanese restaurant called Hana Hana. I am really in no position to judge the food there because I didn't like most of the things I ate there. But I guess even the world's top notch Japanese restaurant couldn't please me with the same delicacies.
After dinner, I took a cab down to the airport to meet Bong, JieRen and Constance for dinner as well as to send Peng Yu off. It was great to see all of them again. Peng Yu (my coursemate and BMTAC buddy), Zu Rong (fellow cross-campus runner) and Dao Jie (my singing partner and fellow Ah Beng). I cannot believe that time has moved so fast and brought all of the 12 regulars into different facets of life. However, once a coursemate, always a brother in arms.... Salute**
Today I saw many a couple. During dinner, Takeshi and Kevin were talking about girlfriends. It triggered me to think that I've met and liked many girls in life and vice-versa. I wonder where is my true other half who will see me through thick and thin. Who will offer me a listening ear when I'm down. Whom I'll love more than I love myself. Wonder what she looks like? Wonder what she sounds like? Wonder where is this enigma.... :)

I went for the my Office's BBQ today and as expected it totally refreshed my mind. I was once again reminded what a wonderful place the office was with all the great people. I enjoyed setting up the fire and cooking togather with the rest as Ma'am Janny fanned my back--- so nice of her... :) Later on we played cards and I had some very intellectual conversations with some of the officers there, something that I've been subconsciously yearning to do for a very long time. At the end of the BBQ I was presented with a copy of my hard work when I was in the office on attachment, the RSAF 40th Anniversary Book. It was a moment of pride as I glanced at the very articles that I wrote. Salute to each and everyone of you...
I am going to be tutoring Ma'am Janny's son from next week. Really looking forward to that. My opportunity to do what I like to do, sculpt young minds. I believe people may have the smarts and talent to teach, but it is not within everyone's capacity to inspire and motivate one to learn , to excel. Many a tutor provide the fish but they never manage to teach the student the methodology of fishing. We fail to instill into our young that learning is a fun life long process that allows us to harness and exploit all the wonders of the physical realm and not just a tool that enables us to pass exams.
On the note of friendship, I want to comment that people reap what they sow. If you are nice to others and devote yourself into the friendship naturally people would look upon you as a friend. That said, it is not always as easy.

IPPT with Larry and Ma'am Janny didn't materialise due to the rain so I decided to head back to hall where I spent the most stressful 6 hours of this smester trying to come up with a SEP plan. I eventually did manage to come up with one though I think it is not very robust. Guess I'll have sweet-talk the interviewer.
Spent the afternoon with Ashwin as we went for lunch and practiced some tunes in his room. I then went to the Nokia Service Centre in Suntec to collect my phone that was sent for servicing. After spending about an hour at home I decided to come back to hall to study. Decided to drag Ashwin along with me and here I am now, at the Arts Canteen mugging with him.
Going to have lunch with JieRen tomorrow and dinner in the evening with Ash and the AFIMC gang. Really miss all of them. AND....... THANK YOU WYNNE for being so nice too me. Pretty girl with a pretty character to match... :)

After thorough contemplation, I have decided to manifest my life over the past few days in words. I believe that despite all that happens God will be there by our side to guide us and see us through thick and thin. This post is not for people to pity me, but rather it is for individuals to understand that everyone in the world has thier own set of calamities, of tribulations and it should be in the interest of us, fellow homo sapiens to lighten this burden for one another, at least from my perception point.
My grandmother who literally brought me up, who take care of me more than my mother who had to work hard because my father was not in Singapore is now in the last few days of her life. I'm keeping strong knowing that she'll be going to a better place and pray that she'll be around long enough for me to visit in December.
My mother, has just been diagnosed with something that I choose not to disclose here. This will cause her an operation that will render her immobile for a period of time. Praying that the operation goes well and she is back to normal as before. All the money in the world cannot buy you someone who loves you.
I had a tiff with someone that I didn't realise I had subconsciously become so close too. I only felt the impact and pain of the possible severance of such a bond when the person got distanced from me, through sickness and through my sticky attitude and possessiveness. I couldn't eat, drink or study for two whole days with little sleep. Am still trying to recover.
I must thank all my friends who despite not knowing what was wrong with me and what was on my mind decided to stand by me. Thank you Waifu, Jieren, Ashwin, Wynne, Aini, Patrick, Gwen, Larry and Qihao for caring for me and feeling worried. Its times like this that allow you to evaluate who your true friends are.
Let this post serve as a reminder for all that sorrow is a facet of everyone's life. It is how, we, as individuals disperse the sorrow within us and serve as the strength of others.

...Lo aNd BeHoLd...
Pee-ing Togather.. :)This week was treacherously long as compared to any other week. I had 3 whole nights without sleep. However, I knew it would all come to pass soon and it did. Amen.
Sometimes people have this tendency of treating people who are close to them way worst than they treat their aquaintances. I guess they already have the assurance that the people who are close to them will never leave. Yet sometimes it is the other person who is almost always overly critical and nitty-gritty. Guess every relationship is formed on the basis of understanding and the acceptance of everything good and bad that comes along with it.
Friday was a good day full of weird meals. In the morning I had breakfast with Jelvin. On the menu, 1 sausage bun and a cup of tea. During lab, Gwen bought me a tuna sandwich that served as lunch. At 3pm I went to the YIH clinic with brother Kevin. At about 4.30pm he bought me Shushi after which I went for my Japanese lesson. After lesson I met up with Ashwin. We went for a run around from TH to Science. After the run, we spent about an hour in his room, me singing songs and him playing the guitar.
JieRen came over to KE7 to pick me up at 9pm after which we met Bong for dinner. Since it was quite late and many restaurants were closed, we headed down to Lau Pasat for dinner. After dinner we went to watch My Best Friend's Girl. JieRen's idea. Dunnoe what he was trying to hint... :)
Anyways, the movie is really unsuitable for the young with nude and sexual scenes every now and then. The brand of comedy was funny in a sexually sick kind of way. Yet as always there was an underlying message which I'll leave to everyone else to decipher. I'll personally give the movie 3 stars out of 5 stars.
After the movie, Jieren drove me back to hall. I spent half the night trying to clear up some homework after which I chatted with Wynne for a period of time. Poor girl, victim of Insomia.... :)
I've come to terms with the fact that different people trigger different sides of an individual. For example, wit Jelvin or Patrick, my spiritual self is triggered. With JieRen and Bong I tend to become more matured and righteous. With Halim, I just behave like a clown. With Gwen, I behave like an intellectual scientist. Ashwin brings out the innocent and musical side in me. Different facets of the whole character of an individual.

Sometimes, I think that there is no one person around who fully understands the depth of my thoughts. No one understands that there is some part of me in everything I say, in everything I do. I have learnt to love selflessly. I wonder what it feels like to be loved selflessly by anyone at all.
Nothings greater than the rush that comes with your embrace
In this world of loneliness I see your face
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy
My hearts crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
Oh you cut me open

I just had a most motivating and intellectual talk with Jelvin. I guess you cannot the vanguish turmoil within you if you do not talk to someone. On the other end, understanding other people's lives and their trials and tribulations also serves as a reality check for you. Sadly, not everyone is capable of conversing to such depth whilst demonstrating thorough understanding of the topic.
My level head just asked me to find a senior date from my block to bring to the hall dinner next week. I'm going to paste a paper on the seniors' doors saying ' Single and Availavble Bachelor, up for grabs....' Like that is really ever going to happen.
Mugging for my final test tomorrow. I really really want to reiterate that I am grateful for the talk with Jelvin. I have never been so clear in my thoughts this semester. Thanks bro... :)
Going for dinner with Jie Ren and Bong tomorrow. Boys' night out. I am going to go CRAZY!!!! and dance on the streets after a freaking hectic week. The company is just nice too. Too bad porn-surfing caused Caleb to have sore eyes hindering him from joining us....

Human beings always have this tendency of going all out for people whom mean alot to you despite you being insignificant to them vis-a-vis neglecting others who care for you to a much greater extent.
Just went for a run and did my sets of chin-ups. The KE7 people must think I'm some form of an intruder. I should randomly walk into rooms and start saying Hi...!!!... School is starting to get very interesting. I love my physics buddies. Even though we don't see each other as often, they always have this warm welcoming feeling towards me.
The BBQ with my Japanese friends last night was fun as expected. The was alot of food that was left though. Sad. Takeshi, Satoke, Ruriko, Yumi and Yuki are all very nice people. Friendliness is really a virtue.
On certain days when I am free I like to take a step back and look at the world from a third person's perspective, even upon myself. Many a time I do not really like what I observe. Yet, sometimes you get so habitually deep into something that it may prove futile to change or abolish. Yet sometimes, you treat that 'habit' to be wrong because you look upon it from the wrong perspective. Patience and understanding here, are virtues once again that I will try to uphold at all costs.

Looks like sporting season is entering my life once again.
Soccer training is getting more and more interesting. Will be getting my jersey soon. Am supposed to go for a game today at 4pm but will not go. Racing against time to get my lab report done. Will be exposed to an open tournament somewhere in October. Hopefully I know some moves by then.
Training for atheletics and road relay with my hall team starts on Monday. Can't wait to meet new people in hall because I haven't had the chance to meet anyone yet. Still in search of my gym cum running buddy. Contemplating if I should go for the Standard Chartered Marathon with JieRen. Guess I'll register soon anyway.
The tennis coach called me to tell me that he has a slot reserved for 2 already. But I think I'm going to forsake it this semester. Priority lies in studies.
Need to get my phone fixed as well. Too soft. Or maybe my hearing has deteriorated.
Ok, back to doing my report. Hajimemashoo ..... :)

...Lo aNd BeHoLd...
Someone very close to me told me yesterday that I have recently harvested a sense of negativity which is not my usual self. I have always been Mr Positive. I guess everyone needs a reminder every now and then when life starts to move at a faster, more taxing pace.
On a side note, my bro and my other close friend also questioned me, why is it that you are so stressed. Everyone else in your module cohort is probably as stressed as you? The answer to that is that I missed a major basic module in semester 1 last year which is largely required in two of my modules this semester. Hence, I have to work twice as hard as everyone to figure out the lessons and lecture notes. Language also adds on significantly to the load.
However, I'm more focussed and directed now. There is no point in feeling distraught, disjointed over what you think may be the outcome. Give it your very best. At the end of the day, there should be no room for any 'what ifs.'

The first thing in the morning, I duck under my table to pull the plug of the printer and while straightening my body, I knock the back my head at the ledge of the table. Now there's blood on the table and my t-shirt.
After meeting QianWen, B.K. and Ash in Temasek Hall last night I jogged back to hall. Then I began my mugging with Patrick and Jelvin only to sleep at 4am.
Someone you care about and someone who cares about you in return will never pose a burden to you even if you see him or her for everyday of your life. Some bonds or relationships are much more deep than one could imagine. Many a time people fail to realise what they have until they are on the verge of losing it. But of course, if the bond was strong in the first place, the chance of losing it or the fear of it being diluted by time and distance would be negligible.

Its 3am and I haven slept for the past 24 hours. Yet I feel refreshed because of the support of my bro, my friends and other people around me. Was very touched when Jelvin and Patrick msn-ed me and msg-ed me respectively to check how I was. Aini and Gwen also contacted me saying 'Jia You'. Of course, Halim, my best buddy since JC also gave his strand of encouraging words. Larry, Bong and Jie Ren all gave me some motivation by signalling that they are there for me.
Huimin on the other hand bought me a box of chocolates from Australia. My favourite thing in the whole wide world.
Everyone must understand that any and every calamity that comes upon us is a test of our patience, our resilience and our persistence. With such good people around me, I bet this values will eventually take life in me. Hopefully....

Last night I went out for supper with Kevin. Ended up drinking more than one can of beer that tasted disgusting. Yet it felt somewhat good. Guess everything feels heavenly when people are stressed and have academically, socially and emotionally oscillating minds, just like me. What's more I was in the good company of a brother. So beer like piss didn't pose as a problem. Sad to say the night life in Singapore as my eyes perceived last night was void of pretty ladies. Sad. Amazingly, I felt all topsy turvy after the beer even though it wasn't alot. I could think rationally but couldn't really walk in a straight line. I guess that's what you get for eating half a mooncake for breakfast, half for lunch and not eating dinner altogather.

Guess everything feels heavenly when people are stressed and have academically, socially and emotionally oscillating minds, just like me. What's more I was in the good company of a brother. So beer like piss didn't pose as a problem. Sad to say the night life in Singapore as my eyes perceived last night was void of pretty ladies. Sad. Amazingly, I felt all topsy turvy after the beer even though it wasn't alot. I could think rationally but couldn't really walk in a straight line. I guess that's what you get for eating half a mooncake for breakfast, half for lunch and not eating dinner altogather.

Walking to KE7 from Temasek Hall was very troubling last night with my heavy bag and aching shin. But the cool breeze made it feel much better.
Slept at 4 last night trying to finish my tutorial. Woke up at 8 this morning to travel to arts and submit my assignment. In a frenzy, I forgot to put on my belt again and sprained my ankle while climbing the stairs. Now i'm limping Loke.
Intensive experimentation from 11am to 12pm. Physics tutorial from 12pm to 1pm. More intensive experimentation from 1pm to 3pm. Physics Viva- Where you get questioned and grilled by the lecturers from 3pm to 5pm. Finally, Japanese tutorial, Katakana Quiz from 5pm to 6pm.
Jie Ren asked me out to Wallas, still contemplating. But I think I'll miss it. Way too much to study. Any wrong move will send me tumbling down. If only I could get some rest..... :(

ThOrOuGh ThUrsDaY/ tHe BesT oF tHe BeSt
...Lo aNd BeHoLd...
Japanese is really a very hectic module with the vast number of tests. All the physics modules in year two are also much tougher. I'm still trying as much as I can. If I could just get enough sleep for one day then all my thoughts would be cleared.
Today, one of the most important people in my life bought me mooncakes. I love mooncakes. Though I was at a lost of words at that point in time and was unable to express my gratitude, the person knows how much that gesture meant to me.
Everyone has a family (most people), everyone can find friends, many people can find their other half in the opposite sex but many a time people fail to find the one true person that truly understands them and knows their every gesture, their every intention, their every mood.
From the bottom of my heart, Salute to my brother.... **

FiRsT DaY iN KE7 / SuRPriSe ApPeaRanCe
...Lo aNd BeHoLd...
I woke up early yesterday morning to mug for my Japanese vocabulary test. After mugging, I went to check into King Edward 7 Hall. Yes, it is true. I was once a Temasekian but now I'm a member of the KE7 family. All that said, hall X or hall Y, we are still one NUS.
I went Harbourfront in the evening to buy some hall necessities. Spent the rest of my time cleaning the new room. It wasn't very dirty to start with, but I cleaned it all the same.
I was pleasantly surprised by Kevin who came to see if I had properly settled in and needed help with anything at all. He's certainly the manifestation of an ideal brother in a person.
Salute bro... ***
Now, that all these pending issues have been settled, its time for me to get down to business. Study..!! Or was it club...?!! Come on, remain focussed.... Study..!! ...er Club...?? ..... Study + Club = Scrub
