Food.
May 31, 2008
finally had my barbeque stingray after returning for 1 week.
and this 1 week has been packed with loads of stuff. fortunately next week is a breather.
meeting today was a success. but i have been loaded with the heavyweight of emcee-ing. haha, hope to make a good job out of it. and marc treated us to pizza (: went around (c) the central after that for desserts with the rest of the people. wanted to go for azabu sabo, but chose kopitiam instead. azabu sabo does bring back a lot of fond memories. (: kopitiam does have a nice view of clarke quay.
had to miss enviro briefing. hope enviro will be a success though.

no mood for homework.

Bus.
May 30, 2008
sitting on a bus is sometimes such a philosophical experience. on a side note, waiting for 852 is a chore.
imagine a bus. divide it into half along the pathway. one side with the driver the other that has all the doors. the two doors are the only means of grabbing chances and opportunities. the windows, equivalent to the limited chances of going out. you can only see them passing by.
the people on the left side (facing front) are a group of people. they get up and down the bus easily, then those who are near the window. they walk up and down with ease. they do not need to care about missing anything, because they can alight and board easily.
on the other hand, people on the other side have to wait for those near the doors to alight first, before they can. perhaps that’s why the emergency exit always built on the right side of the bus. it’s always the last door to be used, or to put it in other words, a replacement.
the passengers are all under the control of the bus driver. he can choose not to open or close the doors, he can determine your life and death, basically he can control you. and we just have to be under his control, at his whims and fancies. and if he is pissed at you, that’s it, you’re gone. and if he likes you, you can alight and board anytime you want, how many times you want. he can wait for you all his life like it is no one’s business. while the rest of the people, sits and waits.
you go up the bus. you stand in the middle. if fate is shining brightly, you will be granted a seat on the left. if not, it’s either the right, unless you’re caught standing in the middle. either you’re on the way. or you’re forever stuck there.
to answer my junior’s question on why some people don’t appreciate the luxury of having a car to fetch them back most or all of the time, it’s because they have been seating on the left side of the bus all the time. they can board or anytime they wish to and that’s why they have that mentality.
this is just a random thought i had on the bus. pardon my english though, only one assumption was made, that is, it takes a lot of effort and luck for the passengers on the right to get to the left.

People.
May 28, 2008
some people are
nice. bad. pretty. ugly. handsome. petty. friendly. cheerful. gloomy. ignorant. indifferent. bitchy. and the list goes on.
i guess in life, you meet everyone of different facets, at least one person which meets one adjective that can be found in the dictionary. perhaps there are some people you love, some people you hate to the core, some people who are totally irritating, or some that is so bitchy.
i guess this is society. sometimes i just feel like putting on an alter ego when i meet some people. be someone else. but, isnt that a little too fake. what you do sometimes may not be appreciated or even cared by some people. so what’s the point of doing if the other person doesnt care?

Friends.
May 27, 2008
perhaps beijing has helped me to understand more about the people I’ve met and the people I’ve never met. never once has a trip helped me to understand the true essence of friendship.
before the trip i did. after the trip i did.
you might have known someone for 2 or more years, but you actually do not know him. you might have known somebody for the trip only, but you have known him for your entire life.
perhaps friendship is what i treasure alot. at least you know that someone will help you make decisions, share the joy with, divide the sadness with, go through everything with.
that explains why I keep my cool most of the time even though a friend pisses me off. i hate to end a friendship with a stalemate, that is to end up not knowing what to do or say the next time you meet him / her.
that i think will also answer yeo’s question he asked me in beijing. i would not dare to do the other.
友情昙花一现,凋谢后不可以挽回,只能像辛勤的园丁,默默地耕耘着,保护这朵花。

Travel.
May 26, 2008
to live is to travel. and it is my aim to globetrot.
im so inspired by what i see during my last trip to Beijing. and it is the feeling of able to roam around the world freely that is the true essence of living. having seen Samantha Brown walking down the streets of everywhere, perhaps, it is my aim to have a lifelist of where i want to go before i die. Perhaps, i should complete it faster lest something happens to me.
i am fortunate to traverse 3 continents at this age. but i seek to explore the other 4, that is if antartica allows. i was spurred on by school, allowing me to go places that I never thought I will. and perhaps, it has been a fruitful opportunity.
i want to go on a backpacking trip at the end of this year, something in my budget at least. and i hope i can fulfill it.

Back.
May 25, 2008
Im BACK.
And before I blog about everything, here’s a song I wrote. Everything will be well. Return later.
亲爱的那非长久好景
词:Poh
曲:张韶涵“亲爱的那不是爱情”
北京的闪烁珠宝再数也数不清
有我们在的地方就欢笑听不尽
紫禁城老舍茶馆还有长城慕田峪
喜欢到处血拼购物不停
二附中同学友善课程非常有趣
三帆的学生和老师和蔼又可亲
日子像翻滚轮盘在咱心里转不停
我们都在这里留下足迹
在这里生活有好坏事情
但亲爱的那非长久好景
生活中犹如旋转的风铃
再怎么快乐也只会成回忆
许多的凄惨参伴着光明
但亲爱的那非长久好景
旅途中难免都会有破镜
这三十天过得尽兴
七位老师陪咱讲课唱歌做不停
让我们在这儿给他们全行个礼
咱们在宿舍睡觉厕所芳香传千里
我们都发过烧咳嗽生病
