Upon reaching September,
I am quite pleased that I found a new place to stay.
And it is at Bukit Batok.
Though, it's a bit far. But I ain't the choice.
All thanks to Regina, Zm's friend.

Get to meet NAFA's friends and caught BAYBEATs live at Esplanade.

Due to teacher's day,I draw a scenery for my teacher
and I got a favourite giant oatmeal raisin
cookie which is ridiculously as huge as my palm
and I manage to bite half of it!

Unbelievable

A simple sketching of my thought

Under the lukewarm sun accompanied by hustling clouds,
you can see a control bridge which at the middle near the seashore,
as if it stands as a lighthouse which guards the place throughout the day.
The sound of the calm waves is so gentle and beautiful as they are climbing up the shore neatly.

Such natural breath of salty air, has caused much appreciation
for the two young girls,
who are plodding and playing near the seashore.

The beauty and order of nature,
is what we hardly see in urban society.

Let's take a deep breath
and
gaze your surrounding places, people, features, etc.
Close your eyes,
and think only about the important thing that you need to do
At this point of life,
when the ride is getting grumpier,
you may face the risk of burning out.
Missing out the planning
and
you may lose your direction further.

I admit that I am loss as well sometimes.
I just feel that I have fallen into the big crack.
And
it is so hard to climb out from that pit.
dark and gloomy.
I couldn't open my eyes though my eyes are opened.
and
I am afraid it is gonna be a very long long time
before I could truly see the sun.

Timbre Fest

"Music is so melodious as it creates different sort of emotion in your heart"

Renee, Rick Steele, 53A, Ublues, Soulfellas were there to perform at UCC in my campus.
Of all the bands, I prefer 53A the most.

Only one- yellowcard, Miserly-paramore, yellow-coldplay, I don't love you, Chemical Romance

"What time is it?"
"It's Beer time"

“Life is very short and there's no time, for fussing and fighting my friend. I have always thought that it's a crime, so I will ask you once again: try to see it my way, only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong. While you see it your way, there's a chance that we might fall apart before too long. We can work it out.” The Beattles

Fever week

Dear Diary, I am struck with sore throat, headache, flu and cough since Friday. And I was amazed that I could still wake up at 8 am to attend the lecture given my condition. My lesson ended by 10 and so I was given the time for idling until my cell group at night.

To my surprise, many people didn't attend the meeting that night due to medical and events purposes. I was glad that I could make it there.

Sometimes, I wonder if our CG meeting is just a time for gathering and listen to the sermon and perhaps attending for the sake of fulfilling self-accountability and satisfying attendance record.

I am quite saddened that most of us tend to take it as a routine rather than seeking the original purpose of the meeting. CG meeting should be a gathering where people should be cheerful, comfortable and making use of the gift of fellowshipping among Christian families.

In fact for myself, I am struggling with these areas. I wonder how amazing it is gonna be if all of us could gather as a family rather than maintaining the fellowshipping at superficial level.

Zm and I were suppose to attend the service together this morning. But My sore throat exacerbated when I woke up. Probably, I didn't have a good night rest as I kept coughing non-stop. And I never know the voracious midget who slept beside me, occupied so much of my bed space.:p

The weather is unfavorable as we soaked ourselves in the rain during our journey to national library so as to catch up with our school work. Anyway, I apologized for being not taking good care of my health and caused so much inconvenience. Haha.

Cheers to Fred Perry!

20082008!

Let's look at the date today!
It's 20/08/2008
It happened only once a year.
See how the day goes.

Isn't he adorable?

Model student of the year.

Hagen was too shy in front of the shot, and I had difficulties in coaching him to smile

A rare fizzy drinks from him
His academic likewise is on par and perhaps even better than me 9 years ago when I was doing my PSLE.

Sometimes I feel that he is growing up at a tremendous rate as he has learned the art of drinking.

Another surprise was that I have a complimentary pass to California fitness for 2weeks as my dear brother applied for the membership. Hopefully, he could make the best use of the facs.

I tried driving his company pick-up truck from the coffeeshop to the carpark below my place. And I didn't expect the truck is so patience and disobedient and it stalled twice.

The path to Clark Quay

Hitting the entertainment centre seemed to be our past time favourites.
Reminiscing about the past when we were so young and innocent.
Having KFC for dinner was truly extraordinary for people who hardly have fast food.

The treat of Mochis from Midget Bro Zm garnished our appetites completely.

Chocolate Vanilla and Mango Mochis

Setting out towards Clemenceau...

This queer structure of the building which belongs to Chicago University caught our attention.

I got a shock out of my life when a black figure pulled out the heavy door and peeked at us out of the sudden. And somebody couldn't help laughing at me.

How amazing it was when we had reached Clark Quay in just one wink.
Miraculously, we were not exhausted at all after walking for several miles.
The fun, the joy, the woes, the ideas, the beliefs, matters of life.
Thanks for being there Bro.
You extend both of your hands while I am drowning.
You lend me your blanket while I am sleeping and how i wish you have no portion for the blanket at all. Haha.
People says nothing last forever. But God's words and wonderful plan remain in us so long as we don't give up.

It was the third time of this year that Hong An bumped into us.
A memory to be remembered for this shot by the river side.

Biking Time

Post National Day activities. You wouldn't expect that we went cycling when school was starting the next day.

Every journey comes with a single step

Sometimes money cannot buy happiness and laughter

If you would ask me what is the precious gift, I would choose 'Time' as it is the precious gift to me. It is so hard to ask for a time even from your best friends as they are busy with their own life. Sometimes, even when the time is provided, it is not spend qualitatively.

Memory and time often fly like a dust if you don't grab and capture the moment

It is quite sad that every good thing has to come to an end. "Flames to dust, Lovers to friends", Nelly Furtado. But this is life, we have to face the fact and reality.

"Push yourself again and again until the final buzzer sounds" quotes by legendary player Larry Bird (Boston Celtics). He is truly a remarkable player. One of the few whites who made an impact in black American NBA games.

We had our tea break in O Leary. Bestie Aaron threw us a great treat for the day. And we hope he would do that more often. Hehe!

It's amazing to witness the creativity of human who is created by God.

Second hand serenade

This song was written by John Vesely. It was dedicated to serenade his wife firstly, followed by the rest of the world who would be serenaded after listening to this song. Therefore, he comes up with the name 'Second Hand Serenade' band.

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Ohhhh

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
'Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

Roller Coaster

Dear Diary,
It has been so long since the last time i update my blog. So many things had happened over the past few weeks. The slides of life events are so compact as they flash past before my eyes. Some people say that if you never take a deep breath and pause the momentum of life, you will fail to capture the beauty and thrill of the events. But life is like a roller coaster. It will not be exciting if you pause the ride halfway. Full of up and down is the nature of life. Otherwise, life is not that challenging to remain on. Problems come and go. It depends on how you see them and handle them. God is unchanging, seek him and he will definitely help you. Let's enjoy the ride
