Merryxx Christmasxx!

Heyx peoplex ii'm shox happyx cox iit'x chrismasxxxx! ii'm shox influencedxx byx a juniorx resulting iiin thiisx!

Ok anyway, it was christmas on Tuesday and only until today i have the time to update. That's because of AHCB's Pot Luck X'mas Party 07 held yesterday. It was such a great event, and unexpectedly, it also turned out to be above average, with many unexpected ppl who turned up too! But there was a minor little hiccups here and there, making it only 'above average' and not EXCELLENT! Given that it was the first-time-held event and it's already 'above average', guys, work hard for the next one: 2nd anniversary celebration!!!

A simple credit (A final credit will be posted onto the website soon):

I would like to thank everybody who attended the event last night because without your participation program execution couldn't be done and simply, the event wouldn't have had gone through so well. Thank you for your support! And of course our fellow people in the organising committees - everything well through well and things wouldn't have turned out in the way we wanted without YOU, because i've got only one pair of hands and a set of brains. Thank you Daniel, Daphne, Sylvia, Fang Qing, Yong Ren, Weng Kin, Weida, and Yong Ren for all the efforts put in during the past three months of planning. And i also know that you've committed your time out of your busy schedule as much as all of us did simply because all we wanted was a success for this event.

Thank you for your support! Your support has returned us the energy lapsed during the planning period and we are now wordless because everything you gave was priceless!

THANK YOU!

It's past midnight and today is already 30 December 2007. Tomorrow will be the last day of 2007 and a series of thoughts went through my mind just now: What have I significantly done in the year; what's done aside - what's achieved from what's done? Undoubtly I've put in loads of efforts in AHCB and until today i look back and i scratched on my scalp: what's achieved? What I've done is that I've created a platform for people to bond and persue further musically and from it I would say it's a hobby greatly done. A round of applause for myself; but in reality the great result will not reflect on any of my certificates except for another degree of addition to my life's experience. And though a round of applause was given for myself, it's for myself but sadly by myself. If at any time anything were to collapse and most probably what i could achieve can only be a pat on my back, and a simple word of gratitude by a credible person, and that's the end of everything. It'd be a sad ending.

Thoughts were thought; I've decided to rest assure other people to hold on the baton while I work hard not anymore in AHCB but at my studies. I've got most of what I needed and wanted, be it any experience or material, though not anyone can be satisfied by things with/beside 'em. It's now time for something that has been at the backgroud to emerge when it's supposed to be held on the foreground. Work will begin 1 Jan 2008 and all I wish is for happiness, peace, and prosperity in every aspect of life, work, and relationships. It's my new year wish for myself and everybody. Another wish, though not really a wish and can be done, is that I WANT TO SPEND MORE TIME with my family. I haven't had dinner at home consecutively for already two months. I've submerged in this very demanding schedule and workloads (in other word - busy) locomoting every available moment, 24/7. Though i've tried to provide sometime for leisure purposes, I didn't really enjoyed moments even for myself. I missed Sentosa beaches because i haven't been there for half a year; I haven't been to Kbox similarly for the same period of time. Same goes to any other activities. 2008 I want to go fishing with dad; go shopping with mum; and hav a great feast with sis. Neglection is the word. My eyes are half covered (that means one eye is forcefully covered) on issue of love life because simply, I can't commit not because I don't want to but I don't even have time for myself and my dear family. Nonetheless I know I'm being responsible because I know I won't have the chance to neglect one more person who thus would not be able enjoy the relationship just because of my negligence. I didn't want to and I don't want to. I'm freed from it for close to three years already and though I know it's time, it's however never the time.

A lot of negligence has occured and is also occuring. I thus wrote this song 'Dear Friends' during my journey on the train. Hope you enjoy understanding the lyrics (quite self-explainatory though) and of course, the music [NOW PLAYING]. I've long for my VERY OWN music composition and few weeks ago, I've successfully completed it with pride. Please pardon the hiccups in my piano solo because rightfully and truthfully I've not attended any formal piano lessons in question. So you may wish to shut this browser should you feel it's a ear-sore or anything of damage to your hearings.

Here's some humour amid the sadness:

A woman worries until she gets a husband
A man never worries until he gets a wife
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can ever spend
A successful woman is one who can find such man

Work At Seven

I've gone wild, these few weeks - super busy lah. Juggling between work, projects, revision, x'mas party, ahcb pot luck gathering (heaviest), i'm just loaded with too much stuff. But tis' the season to be jolly - juggling can be fun too. finished with this, start with that. its just about connections between all activities, my skills, whether how well can I do the connections, if not juggled well i'll be mentally disconnected. hahahaha

nonetheless life's been good anyway. experienced things not done or seen before. firstly, yep, the increase juggling load, as mentioned.

Second. it was at last friday's x'mas party. I was the games IC and is required to do the emceeing. it was alright, everything just went through with the flow. during the event, i was surprised in question that all the audience got so interested when i started the games. Cool. and what more we enjoyed the time together with the great game!. After the event, a few people even gave good comments on it! Though not much preparations were put into it due to TEP, it was anyway a better than expected outcome. My apology for those who thought the same as i do. I just didn't want it either.

Third, yesterday. It was a catering day, and me and weida went out to 26 Mt pleasant drive, a bungalow on the peak of, yea, 'Mount Pleasant'. Not a mountain I hope you do know, singapore doesnt hav mountains!! It was indeed pleasant; it was my dream house.

The rich's shelter; layman's paradize

one private pool, two maids, unlimited oxygen

A super welcoming entrance

arranged by ng zhenyu!

End result - buffet spread for 40pax! $50 per head.

It started off in peace, in tranquil. noises and stuff were absorbed naturally by the earth. comfort is the word. needless to say everything's fresh, including my soul.

It ended off, however, in shattered peace. cos' the drunk got drunk, the swimmers went naked. The drunk who went swimming became the drunk swimmers who later literally shattered all our champagne glasses; because they were unconscious. The innitially clean swimming pool now got polluted with red wines and cigarette butts, pancakes, and stuff. The clean air was covered with smoke. Sigh... Here's something: the drinkers the smokers and stuff ought to know something by hard - the smokers ought to know the effects they are causing to everyone; the drinkers ought to know how great the inconveniences can be to others when unconscious. In this case, the angmohs broke tray of glasses and (snap!), off they went without knowing that others were clearing for their aftermath.

Went back only at 1am. super late. but there's no regret because that was my first time going into such house. =))))) Big big smile!

And today, i went to attend A Team's BBQ @ east coast! Again, (Fourth), and don't you mock, that's considerable my first time to east coast park, BY MYSELF. The last time I been there was more than 15 years ago, brought by my parents of course. So this' yet another things not previously done before. Had some nice food, known some more friends, and went back home by bus 196. took from marine parade to Commonweath MRT took me about 1hr. It was a long journey, but I'm happy. Anyway that's what i used to love; joyride on buses. not dismissing this interest cum hobby anytime sooner too.

I continued my journey by MRT. And something happened......

I didn't want it. I guess he didn't too. And for the sake of public embarrassment, i didn't reject with force. It was nightime, it was dark, but in broad artificial daylight; eyes all about. I felt uncertain, but I made a great decision and shot a photo; you shall judge...

Dear Friends

Dear Friends (Now Playing)

I remember the days
Not long ago
When the joys, the laughters we all shared
My desireness to speak
Together we stood
True boredoms; nullified

I remember the days;
Not long ago, yet far away.
We stood on the hill, on the peak
It feels so distance, yet seems so near
It is visible, yet invisible

Chorus:
It’s sad
It’s awful
It’s awkward
Somehow one day
It goes to you
For it comes around, and goes around
Dear friends, I wish you well

It is as though winter time
As though tonnes of snow flakes
Have fallen down on my head
But in reality – The Sun is bright
The irony; becomes reality.

I remember the days
Not long ago
When the joys, the laughters we all shared
My desireness to speak
Together we stood
True boredoms; nullified

I remember the days;
Not long ago, yet far away.
We stood on the hill, on the peak
It feels so distance, yet seems so near
It is visible, yet invisible

I had a blissful, beginning
We had a common, time of yore
Together, we strived the best of all
We stood the long, test of time

Whenever the time, whatever the clime
It’s all over
It’s all over…

The Law of Garbage Truck

How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive colleague ruin yourday? Unless you're a robot, you are bound to blow your top off. However,the mark of a sucessful person is how quickly he or she can get back his or her focus on what's important.

Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of fustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. If they happen to dump it on you,don't take it personally.You just smile, wave, wish them well, and moved on. You'll be happier ifyou did that rather than fight them. So this was it: 'The Law of the Garbage Truck'. I started thinking, how often do I let garbage trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the street? It was that day I said, 'I'm not going to doit anymore.' I see garbage trucks everywhere and everyday. I see the load they're carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And I don't make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on. Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting.

Good parents know they have to welcome their kids home from school with hugs and kisses. Teachers and parents know that they have to be fully present and at their best for the people they care about.The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks takeover their day. What about you? What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by? Here's my bet. You'll be happier.So...love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe that every thing happens for a reason. If you get a chance, TAKE IT!If it changes your life, LET IT! Nobody said it would be easy...They just promised it would be WORTH IT Cheers!

'Life is short. Enjoy the journey.'
