If u happen to come across this entry, treat it as u didnt see it.
Eversince 18 Dec, my life has changed. 11 days after tat, i can say tt somehow although i don really know wat it is, somethings have changed. I am not sure if its for the better or worse cos i hav not decided yet but 1 thing i knw was tt this change could not be anymore unpleasant.
Over these 11 dayz, i hav learnt we should nv take wat we hav for granted. Treasure them cos u wont knw if its tml tat they will be gone n nv hesitate to say how much you love them cos ppl tend to forget.

WoRdS Of WiSdOm...
No One Can Go Back And Make A Brand New Start.
Anyone Can Start Now And Make A Brand New Ending.
God Did Not Promise Days Without Pain, Laughter Without Sorrow n Sun Without Rain But He Did Promise Strength For The Day, Comfort For The Tears n Light For E Way....
Remember The 5 Simple Rules To Be Happy:
1) Free Your Heart From Hatred.
2) Free Your Mind From Worries.
3) Live Simply.
4) Give More.
5) Expect Less.
It's Better To Lose Your Pride To E One You Love, Than To Lose E One You Love Because Of Pride.
We Spend Too Much Time Looking For The Right Person To Love Or Finding Fault With Those We Already Love, When Instead We Should Be Perfecting The Love We Give.
The Measure Of Love Is When You Love Without Measure. In Life There Are Very Rare Chances That You'll Meet The Person You Love And Loves U In Return. So Once You Have It, Don Ever Let It Go, The Chance May Never Come Your Way Again.
When Something Happens To You, Good Or Bad, Consider What It Means. There's A Purpose To Life's Events, To Teach You How To Laugh More Or Not To Cry Too Hard.
You Can't Make Someone Love You, All You Can Do Is be Someone Who Can Be Loved, The Rest Is Up To The Person To Realise Your Worth.

JaY ChOu...
This man, i'm sure he has touched many of our hearts with his music. Well so am i, but never as strong as now.
Was listening to his latest album, November's Chopin. In my class, David, Alex n probably Weixiong are enjoying this present album, spending effort in memoprising e lyrics. Ok laz, as they are abit bo liao, they compete in seeing who can master e most lyrics in e given time. But somehow, there is a reason why they chose this album n i only realised it a couple of hours ago.
Within some of e songs lies deep meanings tat most ppl often overlook. Shan Hu Hai, loosely translated - Coral Sea. A friend of mine was asked to listen to this particular song by her bf. As she's not really literate in chinese, i was asked to sort of translate. At tt point of time staring at e lyrics n listening hard to each word, i realised tt e song was really deep. Its meanings, tho not all i understood, was sad. Sometimes, despair n sadness is part part of life, part of e many things tat we hav to go thru n e only thing is how you climb back after each fall.
Sometimes we hav to slow down n even stop to see e surrounding, only then can we witness e beauty of life...

SuNdAy (pt 2/2)..
Reached Lavender station at 125pm, earlier than expected. I was feelin v gd cos its rare..=) Josh specially took e bus down to e station to meet me n bring me thr (was touched)..=) After e 10 min bus ride, we reached e church at 150pm. Gathered at e entrance with Josh's mum, grandma n 2 bros. After tt went up to e 2nd storey. Thr, saw many familiar faces frm yest's sports gathering. Thn, met Zuhui, e one who partnered me in e badminton doubles yest. =) So at e session, Josh n Zuhui were on my left n right respectively. Dr Hubert Spence was e speaker but thr was one difference frm e 3 day seminar thingy 2 weeks back, that is there will be a mandarin translator this time. Wow, i was dumbfounded. He's dam pro ehz, can jus translate after every sentence. I think if me i will pee in my pants le..Oh ya, btw hotdog in chinese is Re Gou..=) Sang several mandarin hymns; its e 1st time i realised tt thr was a chinese version to e bible too.
After e session, Zuhui had a chat with me abt christianity n abit of history. I am still abit blurr abt it as a whole. Give me some more time alrite..=)
At e start of e whole session in e bus, Josh was invitin me to an SSO concert at e Victoria Concert Hall as his bro was not going. Seein tt i hav got nth on later, i agreed but e only drawback was tt it cost 16 bucks; Josh, guess hav to be next month le..=)
So after the session, abt 10 of us took bus 197 to Cityhall. I was rather quiet watching e Star Awards on TV Mobile. After we got off e bus, a young lady frm e grp spoke to me; her name was Rachel. Wa dam pai seh, need a ger to start e conversation 1st. After abt 2 min of chat, we sort of splited n i chatted with Josh. At e entrance, Josh n i were hungry so went to e coffee house to grab a bite. A can of Coke cost 2 bucks, a sandwich cost 3 bucks, tats 1 buck for 1 slice of bread..Kaoz, daylight robbery ehz. And e worst thing is his attitude sucks, aiya WTH laz..
E concert was quite boring at e beginning. It was classical, followed by Jazz which was even worst. But towards e end, it changes to Christmas chorals, oh boy was it touching. Thr was 'Silent Nite' n other chorals n I was almost moved to tears..=) After tt was e singin part with songs 'Jingle Bell Rock', 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' n 'hark! E Herald Angels Sing'. But it was a pity there wasnt an encore..=(
At e exit, we hanged out for awhile deciding where to eat. Thr, another young lady intro herself to me. Her name was Edlewise, had to admit tt it was a nice name..=) Sucks eh, disgrace to men ahz need a lady to intro 1st. Made our way to Funan's foodcourt. Along e way chatted with another Joshua. I was surprised whn he told me he was in uni now, i mean he looked so young!! =) At e foodcourt, we arranged e tables so as to accomodate e approx 10 ppl. I would really like to join u guys for dinner but its a pity cos i've got dinner at home le. Next time alrite..?? =)
Before going home, dropby e minimart. Bought charcoal under grandma's request. Price went up frm $2.20 to $2.50. According to grandma, everything went up in price. Then also bought Zambuk for NiSe's bruise. Hope tt it will get better soon..=) Alrite guys, gotta go le..Cheers!! =)
PS : Hey Josh, thanks for today..Really enjoyed myself...=)

SuNdAy(pt 1/2)..
Ehz, this is supposed to be a day whr ppl look forward to, whr they can take a break frm e regular groolin weekdays. But for me, i felt abit lost; like thr's nth to do. In e past, whn i experienced this sort of feelin, i'll play game. 1 yr ago was C&C Generals. 6mths ago was NFS Underground 2. But now, i am not going to play com games le cos i don wanna get addicted again. Army is comin so i jus hope tt i don add another item to e long list of things tt i hav to let go.
2 days ago, had a pri sch gatherin at PS Swensens. As usual, e beginning were e icy part. Gers n guys were seperated n then we were further sectioned into Army, Poly n Uni. After dinner, we left e place at abt 8. Thn e usual things happen whn we hav a big grp (15 of us) - indecisiveness. We hang out in Dohby Ghaut station discussing where to go n finally decided to slack at EE Bing's void deck at 9 pm.
Reached Bishan at abt 930 n we walked to e Multi Purpose Hall. Startin, we were in small cliques talkin amongst themselves. I was sharing my life with Ben n his with me. Some how i felt tt ppl do change, for better or worst..=) Thn Zihao became e usual entertainer. We bought Big Gulp n joined 11 straws in series whn he tried to suck e coke up- ok la, quite entertaining..=)
Thr were moments of uncomfortable silence whn we couldnt figure out wat to do next. After chatting for an hour or so, we decided to play Indian poker, whr e 3 losers will do pushups. Ok laz, i did 15, along with Edwin n SinYee..=) Thn, was thirsty so some went to buy 1.5 litre Coke Light, Pepsi Twist n Sprite. We continued Indian Poker, gassy drink style. We would pour our bets in e Big Gulp cup n e smallest 3 will share e forfiet whr e smallest of e 3 will drink last so as to finish up wats left. On e round whn Eric went Berserk (he poured the cup to its brim), i lost, along with 2 others. Tho i was e biggest of e 3, i drink abt 1/3 laz. Fillin quite horrible le. Thn we played other games like Zhong Ji Mi Ma n e 3-n-7-multiple-clap game. In e end, i drank e most, abt 1 litre of warm gassy mixture frm 3 different beverage companies.
We shared ghostly encounters n sort of planned our next outin. For this outin, it was completely impromptu n e invitation was sent out only abt 2 weeks before but it sort of had e best attendance. Sometimes its these arrangements which makes it interesting..=) In e end we decided not to set e date n will see how things go..=) Left e place at abt 130am n shared cab with Zihao n Meishi. Reached home at abt 2. Bathe le but couldnt go to slp. I could feel as if i am abt to get diabetes, was feelin rather sick...And on top of tt, my pee smells weird. Sux manz. =
Yest, e Aleoca guy will be coming to collect my bike frm 10 to 12 so i had camp at NiSe's void deck. Planned to study but in e end read 2 chapters of God n e Atheism whn i started driftin away. At 1110am, e guy called me so i rushed up to bring my bike down. After tt, headed to sch for squash. Reached thr, was asked to train Pei Shan so i did lor. It turned out to be better thn i expected. =) After tt had 2-v-1 matches with NiSe n JoSh. At 130pm, we left sch. I went to tpy HDB hub with Peishan n Josh. At e destination, realised tt it was quite a big gatherin, abt 20 ppl. so we played badminton, squash n some tennis. Squash was cool, as in cool cos its air-conditioned..=) Played with Josh best-of-5 n lost. Sux manz. Thn played Badminton with some church friends, quite interestin ehz but i really need to learn how to smack..=)
Left at abt 530pm n i walked home. It was abt 20 min but it somehow seems longer due to my aching feet..=) Went home, get some money frm my piggy bank n went for a haircut. Reached back home at 645, bathe n had dinner. Was in e master-bedroom with 4th uncle, dad n bro talkin abt cars n watchin Mulan. Thn whn all e relatives left at abt 830, i slacked in front of e com.
Today, 2 to 4 will be at JoSh's church thn after tt will head home for dinner thn go back to Sgoon. A simple Sunday tt is...=)
