in life & death

Photobucket


Life is frail. Treasure every moment, love, and never hold back.. For there will always be regret but you'll want to look back knowing at least you’ve done something right.

I shall not disclose my friend's name as I believe he would want some privacy but what I can say is that he recently lost his dad to cancer. This is the first close friend I have known who has actually lost someone so close and dear. It wass disheartening just to read his latest blog entry. Simple words never seem to be able to strike a force so strongly in me. I cannot imagine the pain and sorrow he must be enduring now. Reading it alone also reminded me very much of my late grandma and grandpa.. and it seems to be the case that people regret (or realise how significant a person’s life is to theirs) only after losing something important in their lives.

To my dear friend, I am no man of experience when it comes to life and death but as the quote by Carl Sandburg goes, ‘our lives are like a candle in the wind’.. please don’t be daunted by the memories.. no matter what you must continue to stay strong and keep walking forward. Don’t ever think about putting any blame on yourself. What you need now is some good rest. And remember that everyone’s here for you.. your family your friends..

Ps. If you’re reading this and you ever need to talk don’t hesitate to call me ok? Please Take Care!! Hope you’ll be as strong as the nickname I’ve 'granted' you since we first met. I think you know what I mean :)

Who can help me?

I think i have a stress management problem. A terrible one. To me, being able to cope with stress is one thing but being able to channel it off, dissipate and dissolve it is another. In which case i'm awful at both & i believe close friends of mine would surely agree.. I always take things in too seriously without even knowing. I want things perfect and my fastidious nature never fails to take over. My face becomes all oily, my pimples pop, i sleep bad, i get easily irritated & basically go crazy. This isn't good for my health and neither is it good for the people i hold dear around me. Yet i painstakingly take the tow of mentally torturing myself to chase absurd targets which i often set for myself - and not always achieve; only causing a new cycle of guilt while inducing more stress to what i am already expriencing

I hate the pressure. I really really need to learn to relax but i simply don't know how. I thought hanging out with friends was the solution. It was. but only temporal. ultimately the guilt (of time wasted) will kick in and that sucks. These days i can't even play a game or watch a movie without feeling some level of guilt

sigh.... I think i take every bit of life too seriously, i tend to know too much and think too deeply into things i should not. Sometimes simplicity might really be bliss. I need to lay back, learn life isn't all about what the world surrounding us made us percieve it to be and to take things easy. But can i really afford to do that in this challenging society we live in today?

one day this will drive me to insanity. You just pray u're not around me when that happens.

scaredy cat


i never knew i was this timid. Or maybe not?

Always thought i was quite the man. Never scared of the dark, drunkards & hooligans. Perhaps the only thing i'm afraid of are girls? haha nah. not even that can shake me

No really. Ben & I were chilling at Joon Meng's place today and then we started about life in Tekong; quite expected when there's only 3 guys, running out of topic and our ice cream supply. So Ben told us the story of the infamous Thursday Organ Play. It’s about how this poor guy that loitered off his platoon for a leak and later got lost only to be found with his guts splattered out all over (thus the name Organ Play) a few days later. Of cos the story ain’t that simple and short. But apparently it was due to this loose story and incident that in NS no night activities are ever held on Thursdays!! Cool & freaky huh!

after one or two more scary encounters Joon Meng shared about his outfield trip, I started feeling groggy with chills running down my spine. Then i went ‘omg how Ben how! going to tekong soon leh. dieeee’  ahaha

dammit i must sound like a girl now :X  How embarrassing. But dun worry it was a lot less dramatic then the exaggerated example I gave above ;)


LOL. So yeaaa Joon Meng went on to give me some tips like never look back when ur name is called, never step on dark black spots in the forest. & if u see a bear, climb up the tree as fast as possible and throw rocks at it. ok the last one i'm lying. his advice was just climb up the tree and call for help. Haha. ohoh and he also said i better learn a particular Buddhist chant. Apparently it works wonders. Doesn't matter which religious you believe in, he said. haha guess I’ll have to pay a visit to a temple armed with a recorder soon :|

So there you have it. The story of how I realise I’m not quite the man I hoped I was but instead a very normal human being indeed .. or perhaps a scaredy cat at worst haha! - given the right circumstances and when told by the right person of course! WAHAHA

my small talks

i've been late for school practically every single day ever since school begun 2 weeks ago. OMG. bad bad.  must learn how to stop lazing around in bed!! haha

i've also been dropping my phone lately. The last fall it took was about 6 feet off the ground - while i was in the toilet. haha! I'm just glad it missed the unforgiving whirlpool of the toilet bowl by mere inches. xD  everything came apart but miraculously i was still able to turn it on.. it's behaving a little weird when making calls though :X  argh. have to be more careful with my poor phone. 

oh & i finally found the belt i've been looking for since i first saw it on a fashion magazine ages ago!! haha! well ok it's not exactly the same. just a look alike :|  but who cares lah right! so long as they look the same wahaha!  


Hmmm mother's day is coming..  apparently i'm in a cold war with my mum.. over a week now i think? it was due to some small quarrel we had. but she's still my mum. i've got her something.  i hope she likes it. 

School work is starting to pile up and i'm starting to feel the stress and pressure kicking in. I'll get more busy as the weeks come by. and that sucks. Because i'll have lesser time to chill with friends or even have any for myself. but oh well, it's the last semester. Shall see what i can do. huhu~

my little birthday

I can’t really describe what happened today.. it when by so quickly but I am plenty grateful. And simple words cannot express my gratitude. Sure it was simple; it didn’t even come exactly as a surprise. Neither was it a celebration nor a party with familiar faces. Yet it doesn’t matter. It was nice. Really nice. The concept of having ‘strangers’ encircling you, singing you your birthday song. Haha. Thanks Regina, Pamela, Teresa, Yong Kuang, Shili and everyone else (I msged Pamela asking for the names of the ppl involved but she has yet to reply back haha. I will include them in once I know! sorry!) 

So yea. there it was, Short. Simple. Yet very very sweet.

Nothing beats having friends that do care! =)


Got the names! Plenty of thanks to Jane, Guo Wei & Marvin! heh =)
