I wish I hadn't been there...
I wish I hadn't been there...To see what I saw...
To feel what I felt...
Maybe I shouldn't be there.
But it is not my choice.
What is meant to happen will happen.
Awaiting the New Year
Awaiting the New Year2007 is reaching its finishing line. Ready to take over this never ending time relay is 2008, a year which will be coming real soon. 2007 has been a relatively busy year for me. It is also a challenging year where I faced obstacles that I have to solve myself.
Jan- Feb 07 was my free-est time. Nothing beats the carefree feeling of awaiting ORD, having cleared all the neccessary nitty-gritty details needed to 'graduate' from Army. This 2 years indeed made me realised a lot of things, made new buddies, learn many lessons and also times of wellness and turbulence.
CNY 2007 was much better than CNY 2006 or the very reason that I can style myself for this joyous occasion. Festive mood was apparent and I thoroughly enjoyed myself during this period.
21st Birthday was something memorable. Grams was admitted to the hospital during this period so my birthday party was cancelled. Who will have the mood at all to celebrate when someone dear is in the hospital. She was discharged soon after and it was truly a relief for everyone.
Working part-time for 5 months was a new experience. Knowing my new bunch of colleagues and gaining new insights into the working world was an eye-opener. It was tiring but definitely worth the effort!
Getting into Kent Ridge Hall was one best thing that happened. I immersed myself in Drama, something I really loved. Going through the orientation, I made a few buddies and great friends. Though the injury i sustained during the orientation still hurts. Life in hall was busy, tiring, hectic and cap-down-puller, but the fulfilment I got was immense. Being the cast, director, scriptwriter made me try on different roles and through all these, increase my passion for drama.
Geographical Society was FUN. Since all of us are geog-lovers, this common bond bring us together and we worked well with each other. just wanna say - ALL THE WAY!
Life in NUS was not as easy as I thought. It was more competitive but also more interesting. (If you all get what I mean)
Leading my CIP team to Cambodia with Wenjian is something truly unforgettable. Chun Kit came down with CP and this was a terrible shock for both of us. It was different since he was always part of the planning team. Every night, we will give briefing to our members, settle the financial stuff (it is bad for me). Would like to thanks WenJian for all his help during this trip. Christmas overseas was real cool. Praboo came down with a Santa Suit and we have a party on our last night.
Results was released on 26th. I was happy with my grades and will try to maintain this (or improve - though I dont think can :().
Awaiting 2008, Awaiting hope and a new journey!
Something Interesting
Something Interesting"Hello, I know this may sound a bit sudden, but can i have your contact number please? A friend of mine wants to know"
Wow! I was totally rooted to my position. She then turn back and following her direction, I saw someone looking away.
'Please give can? Please she really wants to know'
Hmmm... I was waiting for my bus anyway but DECLINED.
I don't really know whether I did the right thing a not. It feels bad not to give, but the fact is i dont know the person at all.

希望 = 失望
希望 = 失望十二月五日，旁晚七点正，当 DR POW 吩咐在 MPSH 考场的学生们停笔的时候，我在国大的第一学期正式挂上一个完美的句号。考试前的准备，烦恼，惆怅，担心都自然的渐渐消失，而换来一股自由自在的感觉。虽然感觉不比 A-LEVELS 来得那么强烈，但那种开心却是一样的。
在这个暑假的期间，我将和 WENJIAN 及 CHUNKIT 及带领一般学生去 CAMBODIA 当义工。6 个月的准备，180 天的辛苦，数百个钟头的策划终于会在13 号当天开始。希望在 CAMBODIA 的那 15 天，我们会获益不浅，学习许多的珍贵的道理，走上一个难忘的旅程。
有了希望，勇语追求毕竟是我做人的原则，道理。但我忽略了当希望越高，失望就越大。我踏上一个我觉得有希望的路，但最终的结果不是我所想要的。失败的打击就比如被刀割，在流血，在流泪。滋味是痛苦的，伤心的。我尝试去接受，也希望在这个暑假后可以重新找回自己，开始一个全新的旅途，一个干净的道路。
结局是苦的，但换来的却也十分珍贵。一样珍贵的物品，我都会珍惜。
好多好多的记忆，好美好美的时间，全部都终结在一封信里。甜蜜的虽难求，但得到的却一样如此名贵。
希望她幸福，希望我快乐。
Memories Flooding In
Memories Flooding In
It has been sometime since that particular incident. It was a memorable, pleasant and happy period of time (though there is a certain timeframe where everything just go haywire), overall, this piece of jigsaw in my life will not go away. It is just too deeply embedded in my heart and mind.
I thought I have forgotten about it. No. It came back and I cannot help but recall back the period. How I wish, that particular time frame will always be there. When I look at the 'past', everything is so perfect and I hope it will continue, but I knew it will end one day. Unless 'it' changes. I never hope that day will come but I just wish that it don't end. The first encounter was so memorable and lasting. It will always be.
Exams are ending and I am left with my last paper. So much to do after the exams. I hope I can be brave and even though I may be sad, I hope everything still goes well.
Jonathan, please do it! YES YOU CAN!
