good old days

the good old times were packed
the good old times were filled with warmth
times of sorrow
times of excitement
sounds of laughter
sounds of crying
tears of disappointment
tears of joy
moments of uncertainty
moments of magic

someone shouts "snap out of it!"

huh?
oh well...guess i must have snoozed off somehow
back to mugging then

~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~

dun hate the present just because it is not the past
it doesn't have to be this way
dun dread the present just because you yearn for the past
understand that priorities has to be set
dun find fault in the present because you think the past is perfect
no use comparing when the future is unknown yet
dun give up on the future because the present is not to your liking
future is as rosy as you want it to be

it does not have to end like this
this is a tough time
where everyone must realise
that everyone's focus is different
how it continues depend on us

stay strong
weather throughthe storm
we will emerge more mature
and the good old days will be back
maybe even better

~ dedicated to everyone in the 29th ~

tired

think i need a break soon...mugging until siao liao...everyday just do work and do work and do work again! but think this has affected not just me but everyone as well...this is the last lap liao...everyone is giving their all and effort to this...using all their time for studies...jia you everyone! =) dun forget to have a good stretch or laugh once in a while! =p

friday went to play some games with zhemin, likoon, paul, huifen, shuyun, sophia, wanling, shuyun, fenniu, ninghan and mingjuan...wanted to play badminton one...but j1s were having afternoon pe...so were chased away by lee kai sim...then set up table tennis table to play...the table really really cannot make it big time lor! had so much problem setting up the net also...but have a good game...very very exhausted by the end of the day...the rest really not left without me lar! bleahz! =p

maf coming...hoping that the 30th will do fine...then us as 29th will take some time off from mugging to come back down to enjoy a fun-filled night together...hehez...think everyone is quite stressed over mugging or other stuff at hand...seeing less of each other...a bit sadded...but hard to get everyone down for somethings as studies are their priorities now...never mind...once studies are over...can start planning for oac activites for 29th and we can get back to our fun and exciting self! hehez...

oh yar...was mugging outside the library today...saw suhan and yujin rehearsing outside the tahan room...then i played a trick on yujin...msged him that i can see him...then he cannot find me keep on asking where i am...then i just keep msging what i saw from the top...think he could have looked one round around the school and a little freaked out by someone that is there but he can see? (hint: this is the lunar month for?)...hahaz...but the song i heard the tune was nice...the high notes...then saw them going to sleep on the bench...guess they must have really been very very exhausted...*pat pat*...all the best guys!

boing!

hehez...today ran in my new shoes! went to buy the shoes yesterday...asics gt-2090...my old pair of addidas supernova wear until my heels hurt alot...no choice but to buy a new pair...very good run today...very bouncy the new shoes! maybe it is the "new toilet syndrome"...but who cares...new shoes are new shoes...it is blue and white in colour...quite okay looking...but my feet looks smaller in this pair of shoes...hehez...nice nice! =P

fireworks (ii)

today went to watch the fireworks display again with hui fen, tze hwee, wanling, li koon, zhe min, yu jin, ben, jing wen, ming juan, sophia, shuyun, fenniu, peigeok, san mei and ryan(somewhere ard there...=P).

met with the rest 1 hour earlier than last week...but the crowd was even greater than that of last week! FLOODED! the crowd is simply crazy lor! best...had a tough time walking to esplanade among the sea of people...sadly the roof terrace of the esplanade was closed...so we went back to the bridge there to watch...walked along the road and then at the middle of the bridge...climbed across the railing back to the pavement where there is some place for us to stand...it was about 710 then...had to rot 1h 20min there...ah...luckily got some space to lean on the railing...as the sky darkens, took out my camera and took a photo of esplanade...think it is very nice...

after a while...could hear the host doing intro from the speakers at the merlion park...then...*boom*...everything started...this week's fireworks are much nicer than last week's...but i think there is too much smoke lingering around...blocking the view for the fireworks...but still managed to take a few nice shots...hehez...

after everything ended...we climbed the railings back onto the road...by then i think the traffic police have closed off that part of the bridge liao...people was walking in all the three loanes on the road! very un-singapore like! it is like at night liao and got people like this...haha...the entire area was filled with people! soon cars started to honk and the people siam...and this was only at the bridge only...tried to walk to mac near boat quay...there was a long long long long long humna snake walking there also!

mac was filled with people...so was burger king...waited and waited for the food...heard from yujin that we waited over 40 mins...phone din have any reception there...but can imagine my mum furiously trying to dial thru...waiting to question me why i still not back yet...no choice but to leave koon and zm after they came out...but dun want to stay out too late...hahaz...but overall, it was a very nice show today! =)

fragility of life

a fleeting encounter
a deep impression left
.
.
a sudden impact
a fragile dream shattered
.
.
a blink of an eye
a candle of life extinguished
.
.
a moment of grief
an eternal goodbye made
.
.
goodbye...forever...

fireworks

today went to watch fireworks with oac...the crowded was just amazing lar...really people mountain people sea! cant believe how packed the entire area was!

met at city hall...but it was just as packed as ever...the human traffic coming out never seem to stop...after waiting for all the people to come...we proceeded to make our way to the esplanade...walked along the bridge...picked a spot...and realised that tze hwee's brother was there with his gf...so qiao! i think he was really |||o when he found out that we were just behind him...hahaz...

after waiting a while after 8.00pm, it started...thre fireworks were breath-taking...amazing...awesome...fantastic...spectacular...and simply beautiful! think some of the people are inspired to go down to view the fireworks again next sun by the singapore team...hehez...after the display...it rained...right timing...then we all walked to lau pa sat for some food...then left to go home...

must really thank tze hwee for organising such a wonderful outing...very nice! hehez...thanx again!

homecoming carnival

after the long long wait...the homecoming carnival is finally here! was eating breakfast with zw, sy, ben and nini at serene centre when it rained quite heavily...ran all the way to the bus stop beside the police centre and took a bus to reach school in time...the opening ceremony was quite duh lar...in the audi...but no choice lar...the weather not cooperating...sighz...

the concert was quite nice...wushu...chinese dance...mad...the salsa dance was quite hot...haha...then the carnival began...sold one ticket to grace...still had another 3 more set so go...met junhong, jinxing and henry...tried selling to them...but to no avail...

went to eat some things...macho nachos! pizza! and went to the haunted house...quite okay lar...i was not scared lar...but the girls were screaming behind me...trying to scare the ghost i suppose...hahaz...spent the rest of the money...but think one of the fav moments should be the dunking of likoon! my class guys kidnapped his shoes and carried him spread eagle to the dunking pool...as he was climbing the platform, he somehow unlatched the mechanism and fell into the pool himself! muahahaz...damn funny...after that we all lined up to try dunking him...zm came close...hitting the metal rod twice...but not hard enough...but eventually...likoon got dunked after the target was hit...hahaz...everyone cheered...but then...a large crowd have gathered both on the field and at the wings to watch likoon get dunked...hahaz...

went to the ST scholarship fair at suntec...think it was a waste of time lar...10 stalls only...after that...walked around a bit and went for dinner after that...end of a tiring day...hehez...
