Woohoo.. yup yupz… passed my ippt today.. =)
Ya, mild training do helps... mild cos I didn’t really undergo those intensive runs 3 times per week, rain or shine type of training…. Think I only manage to run 7 to 8 times ever since I failed my last ippt abt a month ago.

Been promising mum to stay at home for dinner these few days.. cos been staying out for dinner for the past few days n I’m flying off…kinda feel bad not able to spend more time at home. So I’ve decided to be a 乖 son n stay at home tmr(thurs). Hee..

Went to eski bar and NAB(New asia bar) with the funky but gossipy GLs on tues… guess we had ourselves pretty well updated with ‘info’ from ‘all ard’ after all the drinks n smoothies n coffee sia… haha…

Eski bar was fun, but the music there is too loud, that makes it not a good place for talks, u’ll have to raise ur voice to be heard…hmmm… maybe that’s where sign language comes in useful… addition lesson learn: if u want to take photos with the bar logo, remember to take them b4 u go in. cos the digi cam lense will fog after u come out of the bar. The resulting images will just be blurry patches.

Next stop, NAB, the place looks nice(the deco, lightings, sceneries) from outside(looking from grd floor) and from inside. However, the music just sucks once u’ve gotten into the bar, there’s no dance floor n most prob the comfy seats are taken up. So stay there if u manage to get good seats as the view is breathtaking. Otherwise, just make ur way to the exit ba.. haha

Well, it’s a countdown to my flight to Beijing from now… the actual timing of my flight will be 120am, 7th of july, thurs. But most prob I’ll be reaching the airport ard 10 plus 11, 6th of july, wed. In the meantime, I shall spend more time at home…

Home
Been staying at home, rotting, for the past 2 days, including this moment when i'm typing this entry... haha.. been thinking and tallying up the list of things to bring to bj. hope there's nothing that i've missed out. haven't packed my luggage though. might be doing some last minute shopping next week ba.

There's a few things still nagging at me:

1. IPPT(gonna take it next wed, hope to get it once and for all)
2. Clementi centre(transition period, hope kp will be able to cope well)
3. still thinking.... haha

Sing till the dawn
Singing has never been my forte, but I loved singing. It allows me to relate better to the songs I like. It’s been a while since I went to ktv. The last time was just after the exams. Guess 1 month or so is just nice for a break in between each ktv session. For a novice singer like me, frequent visits to ktv within a short period of time tend to kill my interest in singing. Cos there are always these few songs that will repeat themselves for every session. They tend to sound boring after sometime… haha

Well, the ktv session last nite was superb. Wow.. 7hrs straight…. Hmm.. one of the longest ktv session I have.. hee
Had fun with the bunch of GLs… =)
Guess it’s sometimes dull with me ard…=P… hope the other GLs were not bored by me while walking on the long journey from cine to outram…. Haha..

Till the next time we meet up, take care my friends. =)

Congratulations cl, you are...




Cowboy Caleb of cowboycaleb.liquidblade.com


You are smart, loyal and sensitive. You are also very caring towards other people and you help them out whenever you can. You are very passionate about your line of work. You fight for your beliefs and if someone doesn't agree with you, you argue your point of view across in a very convincing yet diplomatic manner. For that, you earn respect.



Which Singaporean Blogger Are You?

Nothing much...
The following views are just some thoughts invoke by some situation i've came across for the past few weeks. Dun ask me what's has happened or what is happening, just some thoughts... =)

I detest/bu si huan/loathe pple who judges others by their cover/behaviour at a certain point in time. Who has the right to say that one is unlady like/ungentlemanly like/vulgar(whatever vocab u can find to describe actions not fitting into common practises, one's values/perception, scenes from movies.. whatever...) when he/she/they doesn't even try to understand the situation?

Guess it's easy to misunderstand other's intention in acting out the way they do at some point in time. Be it to clarify things, to argue for a cause, to fight for equality, to try to slack, to seek opinions...etc

Arguments/complains/fights normally happen when different parties see different viewpoints to the issue. I believe that it's unfair for the other party when one side comes to any conclusion for the argument just by his/her/their own perception.(ie, i think the other person is trying to slack, i think he/she is very demanding/unreasonable, i think..)... Hey, what u 'think' might not be what he/she/they is/are trying to convey most of the time. It just shows the lack of EQ on ones' part. Why not open one's mouth to ask,"May i know what are u/u all are trying to convey?" or maybe a simple "Can u elaborate further what are u trying to say or do?" Isn't this an easier way to clarify or make things clearer before any personal comments or decisions are made?

It's very human to make personal judgement on many matters. I do so in one way or another many times. Well, bet it's unfair to the other party/parties concern and to myself too. Cos i didn't even give myself or them a chance to understand what actually going on.

So i have been reminding myself to be more self aware of certain conflicts and do take a step back n try to see what's is actually happening...hmmm.... ya, i have been trying to.. haha..

有梦有朋友

夜将来临心 灵暗淡时光
那一盏灯最早为你点亮
当黎明时分回首长夜漫漫
那一颗星坚持陪你一晚
在难免有风有雨人生长路上
因为你我会变得更坚强
梦想在左手 朋友是右手
未来才会变得有看头 软弱的时候
我不会低头 多么幸运和你一起
走明天的天空 因为有梦有朋友
心灵的翅膀才能飞得久
有梦有朋友 有汗有笑有泪滴
都会是一生温暖的回忆
有笑有泪滴 将是我们温暖的回忆

It's time to let go...
Well, it has been a another yr in ntu and in RSPHI. Time flies n while the time is still 'flying', guess we'll have to let go of some things while retaining the good memories, or whatever it may seems to be a good memory.

Just handed over the baton of centrehead to my juniors. A typical election today with 'expected' results.. oops..no hints of 'behind the door' job, but it's all fair n square. Gonna tidy up my HI documents n pass it on to the next batch le. Hope that they will be able to cope with the mounting expectations of being CHs for clementi centre..

As for tots of going to yr 3, well, gonna fly off to beijing soon, think will be missing my family, friends, maybe the canteens, tutorial rooms n lecture theaters... for the latter, maybe for a short while i guess... haha

Gona treasure the times spent in HI, ntu... things will more or less change after my gip trip, be it thinking, r/s, style of working etc etc...
But i will still be me after all....

So in the mean time, i'll looking forward to living another way of life and hope to come back a better person.
