last thoughts of 2004
say, this year went by pretty fast didn't it?
me, i'm still stuck in vague memories of waking up at 6.15 am, rubbing my eyes disbelieving clock feeling quite inclined to smash it into a thousand pieces...yeah, sweet memories indeed. ;P
well, it wasn't that bad was it?
no it wasn't. the priceless experience of insulting people behind their backs along with my fellow accomplice(ehehe..you know who you are) more than compensated for the early rise n shine!(next year waking at 6am...so...sob...)

Life in Singapore???
Dear friends, well, as you all know, I am in Singapore now with Joleen. Both of us have accepted the ASEAN scholarship and now staying in Oldham Hall (a wonderful place). In fact, we are in the same room and same school too (anglo chinese junior college). The school will start on 3 Jan 2005, that means we are going to study within a few days (pity us). Anyway, we sometimes sneak out (like the word 'sneak', sounds good) to Orchard Road to watch the Christmas deco, and we feel like as if we are in Bukit Bintang. Back to hostel... the room is not small, quite comfortable, and there are kinds of rooms - 4 or 6 people per room. By the way, for those who don't know where Yi-Teng is, well, she is here with us but different room. So, for those who wanna post up something sensitive, please think twice... She will be going Anderson JC (Junior College). Well, that's something for now, I will update life in Singapore later. Happy New Year!!!( Pity us, we have to celebrate New Year's Eve in Sg)
What Lies In The Future
As I went to different colleges to search for directions of where to go next, i sat in front of the counselors and realised i have no idea what i want. I wanted friends to be with, but no one was there; I wanted to do courses that has something in relation to my ambition (which happens to be a doctor. If u didn't know, hit yourself on the head), but I then realised my future path would be one of frustration and uncertainties. (Medical in M'sia cost a bomb. Mind U. It's like "no money no talk") As the year comes to an end, I haven't made up my mind yet whether to go for the first intake or second intake or even worse...Form 6 *horror* So as for now, I would be in KL until 1st jan. Then I would go into isolation in the familiar area of sitiawan, which is not bad. Just that i would lack tv, radio, computer, online, piano and friends. Gosh, how am I to survive?! I would be there for a month for my driving lessons. *sigh* So if anyone wants to keep in touch, please sms me on this number:012-2608197.

The True meaning of Christmas...
Heyz, juz tort it would be good to share this with whoever's reading this blog. Well, i did not write it though, i accidently bumped someone else's blog so i kinda copied it n correct some typos. It's really meaningful, especially for people who do not know the true meaning of Christmas. I found out the true meaning of Christmas some time ago...have you?
p/s, if u have time, do download that little song at the end...it's really a beautiful song. It's by Avalon and the title is "we are the reason". Niwayz, to all who are reading this, have a Blessed Christmas and a Fruitful New Year. God bless.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
anyway, christmas is coming RRRRight up. like so many people around me are so busy with parties and stuff like that. People are stressed out, worried and bustling around all over the place. Me, however, i'm just like, chilling out. I just did my last christmas shopping just now, at IMM. But on the more important side, people, STOP. Slow down a bit. Think about what the season's all about. Yeah i mean you have gifts and parties and musicals and stuff. But just remember the TRUE reason, the core. the crux of Christmas. CHRISTmas. This baby Jesus wasn't all happily born into the world. He was born to die, ironically. The reason why He was sent down was YOU. yes, YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU and me. *pokes violently at reader's stomach* because you and I did bad things, there as no way hosay God was gonna let you into heaven, because you're not holy like God. If God let un-holy people into heaven, it wouldn't be heaven. so. why is there hell? why on earth did God make a place like hell if He loved people? because without hell, there'd be no justice. you can't let everybody into heaven because of their own merit, there's no way ANYBODY would be able to get in there then, right? So. God had no choice, but to send somebody PERFECT. somebody who had never ever sinned in his entire life, to die for you and me, to take our punishment. But that's not it. you're not saved yet. you're still going to hell. UNLESS, you BELIEVE in Jesus Christ, and you TURN AWAY from all the evil in your life. So do me, and yourself a favour. Say a prayer. Tell God you're terribly sorry. Tell God you believe in Jesus.
Hmmm. after my little sermon, lemme just leave you with a song, that kinda sums it up.
Avalon - We Are The Reason
As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
But we never realised
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by we learnt more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
Because of love, all because of love
And we are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
I've finally found a reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that i do, every word that i say
I'll be giving my all just for Him
For Him
And we are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
to a world that was lost, He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
He is my reason to live.
毕业。。。
毕业了，真不知该说些什么。人海茫茫，也不知何时才能再相见。第一次在这儿留字，不想说得太多。是沉默是金，还是无言以对？
Check out this Pangkor panorama from my room! I love doing panos =).
a girl, a guy and a sea urchin
Yi-Teng and Chun Seng with the sea urchin that oozes slime.Yuck 
In loving remembrance of Yi-Teng, who has left us...for NS.Heaven forbid, I sound so morbid.Heres to Yi-teng, for showing us a completely different side of her that i didnt knew existed eg.swimming and Alexander.I had the privilege to go kayaking with her.Have fun in NS and build up some muscles!BTW, if anyone happens to have my white FCUK shirt in their possesion, please inform me.I might have left it in Pangkor.Anyway, it was an enjoyable trip and thanks for all the great memories.Cheers.
The final pic of the S1 peeps... boohoo, so sad. Really. If I've got too much time I might post more photos. Ditto if I get Streamyx *maniacal grin* I'm one step closer to getting it already, my mom has actually Signed Up for it, though it's not been Confirmed since I only got my phone line reassigned to my new house today (yes, I've moved at last!!)
Greetings from the land down under...
Hellow ppl...Guess most of you had a great time at class trip? Well, do share your experience ya...
Niwayz, I'm right here in my brother's room using his laptop while he's in uni =P. It's about 08:33am M'sian time but it's about 11.33am here in australia...Hhehehe...flew to Hong Kong and from HK flew to Australia. Talking bout almost 12 hours in a plane. Well, got down at HK International Airport then quickly rushed to catch the connecting flight to Australia. Well, it was WAY WAY WAY boring man.I had a selection of Shark Tales, Princess Diaries 2 and Home Alone, along with cartoons and some other chinese / cantonese movies.
Well, didn't have much to do (i fininshed watching princess diaries and shark tales on the first flight, so i wuz left with 8 hours of boredom on the way to australia). Man, i tell you, sitting in a plane for 8 whole hours just ain't fun, especially when u only have games like reversi to play and a limited selection of movies.
Well, gotta sign off here...Will be leavin me bro's house in a while to go to me resort...Probably won't have internet access till i go back to KL so cya when i come back on the 20th Dec...that's if i see ya...ahahah...Kangaroos, anyone? Or u prefer koala bears?
Annoucement !!!

5S1 - A thing of a past
Heya ppl, it's me again!
Well, seriously, now 5S1 is officially a thing of the past. It's gonna be really hard for us 5S1 2004 to ever ever get together as a class again...i mean it's gonna be really difficult to get everyone to come for any gathering. Everyone will be busy with their own agendas, pursuing our own goals in life.
Not to sound mean, but I'm sure many of the friendships formed will slowly die away with time. We'll all be making new friends in college / uni and we tend to neglect our secondary school friends. Well, it's up to us to keep the flame of friendship burning. After some time, I can't help but forget many of my friends (not that i want to but it's just gonna happen that way). So in future if i ever seem alien to you, please forgive me. Remind me who you are k...
Well, as all of us goof around during our last 'year end holiday', hope that we'll be able to be refreshed again and all the best in life ya...Hope that in future, we'll be able to come together again and start babbling bout anything n everything under the sun. *well, some of u heard me suggestion today....how bout we all come together one day and talk nonsense, whoever hoo start tokin bout something that makes sense will be kicked out of the house.....not too bad for a suggestion rite???*
5S1 memoirs
(the title sounded so corny... but that's not the main point.) Came back from school today then i realised that high school has really came to an end. Woah, five years, gone.Then i started thinking what have i done other than study. Have i made people laugh? Or cry? Would I be remembered? Would i remember anyone?
Then i realised that each of you have made a significant difference in my life. thank you for just being there, two years or even more. relationships like this take time to grow. appreciate it lots. right now, it is just indescribable. thanks for the two years of memory, good and bad. they all play a part in my life.
"aim for the sky, cause if you fail, you will still be among the stars"
p/s thanks tp for this invite.
Thank you for the gift of you
It's all over =D.
SPM, 5S1... It's hard to believe time flies so fast.
Frankly, I'm speechless. There's nothing to say, really.
I'm just glad for all the good times, and am really looking forward to the class trip.
Last thing I want to say, thanks to everyone for making Form 4/5 such memorable years. Here's to hoping that this blog will keep us together for at least some years still.
Remember, you can post in Chinese! Now, time to send the rest of the invites out. Just point me in the right direction and you'll get your invite.
Cheers, people.
