Hi everyone! (:

Long time no blog huh? well...its been only about a few days.

Recently i went to Changi airport with my BFY friends to see off another BFY memeber, Huey Yee, to Thailad to meet up with her parents over there. She's a fellow singer-in-training and will be gone for a month. So can't wait for her to come back together with everyone else from their hols for BFY december youth camp!

Sadly though, there's also another person in BFY who left a bit earlier and she's Minn hwei. I kinda like felt sad for her cos we sent off Huey yee when she's just leaving for a month when Minn hwei was leaving s'pore until next year. :/

Haiz... but its over now. Just have to wait till she comes back (:

I just came back yesterday from a sleepover at BFY over the weekend. Watched "The Last Samurai" and "UP" together with everyone. The shows were nice, especially the former. Furthermore i talked with my buddies at the rooftop until it was 4am in the morning before turning it for the night. Even before that some of us already went to the nearby indian shop to have some "teh si bing" and prata. xD

All in all it was a good time (:

Wish i could have stayed there longer though. I kinda like these kind of sleepovers and don't really like the regimented style of camps. :X I wish camps could be more free-and-easy.

Just to end off... i have been thinking about whether "nice guys finish last"

Is it true?

hmm....

Hi guys.

Sorry for not blogging much. Been busy preparing for my A level Project Work Oral presentation which is this monday. I've also been busy with my Vietnam trip, and tomorrow i'm gonna go to Bukit Timah Hill for another round of hiking. This time, with a 7kg pack instead of a 5kg pack fom last time.

The JC pace has slowed down since my Promo's ended. I used to be rushing for my project work for the past couple of weeks but now all i need to do is talk infront of a few teachers, stay back as audience till afternoon and that's it. (:

Life seems to go a little slower, and now i've got more time for my Red Cross stuff and also my Buddhist Fellowship Youth events too. I'm gonna be in charge for next year's BF Youth Valentine's day celebration! So i'm gonna need to settle the music performances first! I'm going to perform too. So the song playing now? yeah... that's what i'm thinking of singing. Brings back memories. :/

I'm in a mini-crisis now. No i'm not emoing... its just something that's bothering me for the past few days. For the past few days i've realised that since i stopped studying, i can't find anything i can hope, protect and fight for.

The feeling's so strange, yet familiar. Like there's some kind of missing link inside me. And the fact that its been raining for the past few days, it just makes everything all moodier.

Feels like walking in the rain...

"Walking in the rain" - By A1

Sitting by the window
Singing songs of love
Wishing you were here because the memory's not enough

Wear my mask in silence
Pretending i'm alright
If you could see then you would be here standing by myside

It may be hard to believe
but girl you're the only one i need
It may be hard along the way
Its this feeling i get when blue skies turn to grey

Feels like i'm walking in the rain
I find myself trying to wash away the pain
Cos i need you to give me some shelter
Cos i'm fading away
And baby, i'm walking in the rain

Every single hour
of every single day
I need to cry my eyes so dry, i cry my tears away

Can't help but remember
How you made me feel
You dressed my soul and made me whole
You made my life complete

It may be hard to believe
but girl you're the only one i need
it may be hard along the way
its this feeling i get when blue skies turn to grey

Feels like i'm walking in the rain
I find myself trying to wash away the pain
Cos i need you to give me some shelter
Cos i'm fading away
And baby, i'm walking in the rain

Of all we've said and done,
remains the memories of day when life was fun
And now that you are gone,
i sit alone to watch the setting of the sun

Feels like i'm walking in the rain
i find myself trying to wash away the pain
cos i need you to give me some shelter
cos i'm fading away
and baby i'm walking in the rain

I said baby... i'm walking in the rain...

What a difference a day makes...

Today was JC1 commendation day. Officially the last day of school for everyone and a period of transistion from students in J1 going to J2. But it actually isn't really the last day. We still have to come back to school periodically for PW and next monday is my A level chinese exam.

There's just something out of place: I'm not going to J2.

like everyone whom i have told and those who have seen my blog, you guys should know by now that i'm gonna retain first and drop out later if necessary.

Sometimes i'm not sure if i should be feeling sucky or happy for not being able to promote. Today i was aware of all this, but i felt somewhat indifferent about everything. Damn... feels like commendation day to me is a day to congratulate myself for retaining and still giving me a chance to go poly. :/

Let me just sum up briefly my year long stint here in SRJC. I used to think that the people in JC are guys and gals who are study kings/queens. Now i know that they're actually just like you and me. Its just the system that requires and forces them to do so.

The people i've met so far, they've been the greatest bunch of JC lads i've met in my life. My whole perception of JC students have changed. SRJC isn't bad, it has a great student body and culture. Even the principal is great! He's charismatic, objective and damn knows how to do cartwheels.

I've learnt that life isn't as enjoyable as it can be. I still have to study the best as i can, even in poly. If i want to get my parents blessings, i have to show them i can study hard regardless of being in JC or poly.

Frankly, i've hoped that i can get a girl in JC. However time constraints just force me to NOT do that. For the year, i've learnt to recognise crushes and infatuations. And seriously, in the end i just find that i'd prefer to just be friends. It sucks... but i just gotta live with it. Probably i'm just a friendly, down the street, medic next door that everyone can be friends with. Nothing more.

When you're in JC, time flies too even if you're suffering and not having fun. Cos its always a rush rush rush lifestyle here in SRJC. Holidays are turned into study breaks and there doesn't seem to be any time to enjoy yourself in little pleasures. hell... i can't even do a 10 minute meditation after i wake up or before i sleep. >.<

I've always been attending BFYouth for as many sundays as i can. The group system is actually working and its more fun to be there now (: love my groupmates and i'll be joining them for the BFY december camp from 3 to 6 december before flying off to vietnam the next day.

My overseas trip group people (also from SRJC) they are the best mates i can ever meet. We're the most bonded, enthu and noisiest group out of the rest. probably because we never knew each other from the start and there were no cliques to stop us from communicating openly. I love my group (:

Well that's it for now. If i have more reflections i'll write them next post.

"What a difference a day made" - By Jamie Cullum

What a difference a day made
twenty four little hours
bought the sun and the flowers
where there used to be rain

my yesterday was blue, dear
today i'm a part of you, dear
My lonely night are through, dear
sinc you said you were mine

Oh, what a difference a day made
there's a rainbow before me
skies above can't be stormy
since that moment of bliss
that thrilling kiss

Its heaven when you find romance on you menu
What a difference a day made
and that difference is you...

The inconvenient truth...

Today my parents came to school and talked to my Form teacher, co-form teacher and school counsellor. Talk about 6 party talks... :/

We finally reached a conclusion and a deal: I retain and take J1 for the next few months next year. See how my perfromance goes, and after my poly application has been confirmed, then think about it one last time before dropping out.

This way, i have more time to think over things and see if there's any inkling of hope that i'll stay in SRJC rather than leave the place.

I fought hard for myself so i can go to poly. In the end, this is the farthest i can reach. Its only a matter of time before i make my final decision...

Damn.... its really not easy to be me...

"Superman" - By Five for Fighting

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird…
I’m more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me.

I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd…
but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed

I may be disturbed…
but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it’s not easy to be me.

Up, up and away…
away from me
Well it’s all right…
You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy…or anything…

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
inside of me ......
inside of me ...
yeah inside of me...
inside of me

I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
I’m only a man looking for a dream
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
It’s not easy...
It’s not easy to be... me...
