Life is a game of waiting.. Waiting for the right ride to take us off to the sunset

Bangkok!! Here I come!! Though I wish that I am coming with a healthy body. But for some stupid curse or something, I am down with flu. Darn. Before every trip, something stupid will happen. Previously was the coup. Now is the flu. (Rhyme right? Ha) Taken some medication and hope that it will help. Don't wanna end up there sleeping and fighting the flu bug.

Friends. Try not to call me unless necessary k? The auto roam plan I am having should be quite expensive. Me need the dough for my driving test in Nov. Anyway, I hope to have fun at this trip. The last time I went for an overseas trip was in 2004(excluding day trip to JB). That was with the SAF. So this show how pathetic I am.

Will try to post pictures when I am back. Funny thing is that the haze choose to make a disappearance the moment I am able to leave for Bangkok. Ha.

Working as I am typing this now. Ya. Working on a public holiday. Yeh!!
Anyway, part of it is my fault ba. Not really been efficient recently and this write-up is way overdue. It's close to completion so here I am, taking a mini break for my mind.

Writing at times seems so therapeutic for me. You just type whatever that comes to your mind and not have to worry how you should say it out. I am someone who hates to talk. I just find that writing is a better way for me to express myself. That's why the ICQ was a great tool back then when I got a gf. I can say things that I want to without worrying how I should say it. That's why you will hardly catch me chatting on the phone. Well, of course there were occasion when I did chat on the phone for long hours but these seem to be a distant memory now.

Last weekend was spent on Dota again. So was yesterday. Eve of a holiday. Ha. But it was fun. Sort of a bonding session for us guys ba. Anyway, I will be leaving for Thailand on Thursday morning. So it will be quite sometime for us to play again. Next week is for me to concentrate on my driving lesson. Like what I had stated previously, I really wish to pass. ;)

Read up on the news on the man who flung himself to the train recently. Reading that article make my heart break. For all the progress our country had achieved, there are still families out there struggling to make a living. The final gesture of giving $10 to his family for chicken rice was really touching. I had seen teens that had splurge money on branded goods, clubbing and all things that they deemed as fun. And yet, we have a family here who is grateful for having chicken rice for dinner.

I think more help should be in place for families like them. Though it was good that the public had came out with donations for his family but we should be looking ahead. We need to prevent further incidents like this from happening again. Cast a wider security net. Poverty can never be erased off the face of the earth. But death from it is something that can be prevented. How can we expect the poor to read the news and know that there is assistance from their MPs or town councils? We need to reach out to them. My heart goes out to these families. I hope that this incident will be a wakeup call to the relevant departments on how we can reach out to them and also to S'poreans. Realize that there are people out there who are struggling to make a living and though you might think that you are in a shit hole now, there are tons of people worse than you. Take it on your chin. Life goes on.

Well, need to go back to my write-up now. I am still hoping to catch Panic Room. :)

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

It's just a moment
This time will pass

Dota. Frozen Throne. War Craft. Whatever you called it, this is the reason for not updating my blog for a long time. To be honest, I kinda forgot that I had a blog. First played this game on last Thurs with Melinda, Stanley, James and Vincent. Boy, it was fun. Been a long time since I had so much fun. Seems like I was transported back to my carefree poly days, where school is just a session of Lan game and fun with friends.

Ended up playing Dota on Fri, Sat, Mon and today. 5 times in less than a week. I think I am addicted. Ha. Anyway, drop me a message if you are a Dota player. The more, the merrier. Our hangout is at Bugis Junction. Central and cheap. At $2 per hour, it's half of what I would spend if I went to a ktv pub. Speaking of Ktv pub, it had been ages since I went to one. Kinda amazed on how I could manage to pay for that much amount of drinking back then. Ha.

Anyway, work had been busy. Busy busy busy. Not complaining but I sense a big catch coming up soon. If I manage to catch that fish, I am confident of starting my SIM course before next April. That is if I manage to clear my driving licence. Taking the test in less than 3 weeks. I really hope I can. The money spent on driving lessons (Heart break everytime I pay) and time can be put to better use. Maybe more Dota training? Haha..

天空灰的像哭过
离开你以后
并没有更自由
酸酸的空气
守住我们的距离
一幕醉心的结局
像呼吸般无法停息

抽屉泛黄的日记
找到了回忆
那笑容是傻气
你我的过去
被深深真的忘记
缺氧过后的爱情
存心的眼泪是多余

我知道你我都没有错
只是忘了怎么退后
信誓旦旦给的承诺
全被时间扑了空

我知道门都没有错
只是放手会比较好过
最美的爱情会一定带去

我知道我们都没有错
只是放手会比较好过
最美的爱情回忆里带去(待续)

(相信你我还会有开始
只因我们都没有错)

Time really flies. It's Oct now and soon, 2006 will be behind us. I think time is never enough when you are getting older. Somehow, you wish that the pace of life will just slow down for you to catch your breath and take stock of all that's happening around you. Seems like people in Singapore can't have this privilege. Life in this little beautiful island is a series of deadlines and targets to be met. Hoping that my upcoming trip to Thailand can at least let me catch my breath back.

Had my first clubbing experience in quite a while on Fri night. The location was Gotham Penthouse and though the crowd was not what I had expected, I had fun nonetheless. Been quite a long time since I had mindless fun. Think this is what I need to unwind at times.

22 years old is an awkward age. You are neither a youth anymore nor a fully fledged adult. It is like learning to walk all over again. People will be expecting more from you and of course, you will also be expecting more from yourself. No more childlike behaviour and having to start behaving like an adult. Dealing with serious issues such as your career and the course of your life. Well, everyone had to go through this stage. I am sure that you will come out the better of it. Happiness is not that hard to grasp. I am sure you will figure it out.

Caught World Trade Centre on Sat night (Due to the constant haggling of Guowei). Been a long long time since I caught a midnight movie. I am really thankful for the gang for suiting to my needs and catching the show at Tampines Mall. The haze was irritating both my nose and eyes. I was seriously thinking about staying at home for the whole weekend. Well, at least I was out for a while. Today was simply spent rotting at home the whole day.

World Trade Centre is a movie preaching the greatness of love. Not one scene in the movie was directed at the cruelness and stupidity of the terrorist. The movie focuses on the two men trapped inside the rubble. Images of their loved ones flashed through the minds of these two men. These images were the key factor that kept them alive.

If you had been following the news, you will know that the problem of terrorism is still very real. Hatred still filled the minds of these terrorist. For reason that is beyond my mind. When you are on your deathbed or in trouble, the first thing that come to your mind won't be the one you hate or dislike. It will be your loved ones. People such as your family, spouse or close friends. People who gave you the will to live on. To endure all these pain and cross all these obstacles in front of you. Love had always made us stronger. Love had always keep us sane through all these troubled times.

I am praying for World Peace. If it don't happen in my generation, at least make it a reality for the next generation. No more mindless killings or violence. I am absolutely sure that different religions can co exist in this planet. For those 2749 innocent lifes that were lost on 11 Sept 2001, I hope that all these talks of world peace will not be just hot air.

Well, just came back from my driving lesson. My test is coming soon in Nov and I really hope to pass it. This means that I will be spending a lot of time and $$ on my driving lessons. Anyone who is interested in helping me reach my goal can kindly treat me to lunch and dinner. ;) At $66 per lesson to go into that bloody circuit, I will be dead broke come end of the month.

First of all, got to say a big thank you to Rixin. Thanks for waiting close to an hour for me at Tampines Mall. I was glad to have someone company as I absolutely hate going to that place alone.

The smile I saw on the girl face was unforgettable. Standing in front of her were two guys (Rixin & me) who looked dead broke and yet ordered 12 boxes of mooncakes from her.I think I had absolutely helped her hit her sales quota for the day. Well, 11 boxes are for my clients and future prospect and 1 is for my mum. Was thinking of not buying for her as she is suffering from high blood pressure but my heart gave in in the end. I know she will like it. Hope that I am not causing her any harm in any way.

Went to a ktv session on Fri night. Well, the probability of me striking toto is higher than Ms Adlin asking me out for ktv. See, Sat was her 26th birthday (Haha. I gave ur age away. :P) and she suddenly had the idea of celebrating it in a ktv. How can I reject someone who had been helping me all along and being there for me when I was absolutely feeling like shit? Had a great time singing and kudos should be given to her group of female buddies who managed to create a birthday cake using chocolate mud cake bought from a 7-11. Being a group of guys (Stanley, Guowei, Hee & me), we had absolutely forgot about the need for a birthday cake. Well, at least we got her her favourite watch from Swatch.

To Adlin: 26 already hor. U are a gal not a guy like us. Find someone who is true to you and love you more than you love him to settle down k? You had been through enough shit in your love life and I wish the best for you. I really don't mind giving you a big hongbao for your wedding k?? :)

Speaking of wedding. Attended another wedding solemnisation ceremony on Sat morning. This time round it's Peifen who is finally settling down. I felt happy for her as Kelvin is a guy who has my total respect. To be honest, at times I wish that I have the same maturity and patience like him. I have a tendency to shoot myself in the foot at times and all this boil down to my immaturity and impatience. I wish that the both of you will stay in love for as long as the sea touches the sand. To meet each other is fate. To be together as husband & wife require more than that. It require patience and total commitment from both sides.

I am sure that if given a chance to choose between being a millionaire and having someone whom you love and willing to stick with you through thick and thin together, the choice is obvious. I am glad that the both of you have found that someone who is worth more than anything that being a millionaire can afford.
