MY HIDDEN CHAPTER

Recently, my friends in poly decided to go for a shopping spree at Bangkok. And somehow, my Dad suggested me to go and find my Mum since she’s there too, why not? I told my friends that my Mum might be able to help with the accommodations- and so I am left with the task.


FEAR?!
Leaving the task aside, in my heart, I was kind of excited because I may have the chance to be able to see her after so many years. Honestly, I really do miss her. Despite her leaving me since my primary school days, I could still vividly remember she facial features. Of course, I can still remember her disciplining me when I am naughty, guiding me by my homework every night, attending my meet-the-parents session, cooking food for me when I am hungry and many, many more things. I can also remember how I used to hate her salted vegetable soup; even up till now, I still have the fear of drinking it although it’s not her cooking. Those were really the days that I felt so much love, where I really think I am being cared for- having someone to keep telling you to do this and that is actually not that bad huh?

As a son, I really do hate her a little here and there for leaving me to face this world alone. “Fighting those battles” which I shouldn’t be facing right then and shouldering responsibilities shouldn’t be bore by me. Come to think of it, how did I even pull through these few years?! Anyways, I hated all those adults then, always thinking their action for us “is the best” and hence just do it without asking us; hence I always challenge them. From then on, my relationship with my Dad hasn’t been smooth- we always quarrel because of differing point of view. But who is to say “I got the correct solution to life?” I am doing it probably because I want the best for him too. Another hidden reason might be because I am afraid I will lose myself if I lose him. I have to admit, my dad might not be the best father, but I know he went through many thoughts too before making his choices too. But I really ought to thank my teacher for changing my perception to where I am now- working as hard as possible for myself too.

STRONG?!
I also did ask myself what I am working hard for last time. I still remember I was so happy to have passed my PSLE and am going to secondary school into express stream- but I couldn’t have anyone to share my joy with. My Dad was too busy with work, my siblings were too young, and my Mum is not there. Even for now, I clinched the Academics Award for my diploma, but none is coming to the ceremony. Sometimes, this is how lonely I feel. But I also thank God for all the good friends that He have surrounded me with- we fought together, study together, stand united together and also spent quality time with one another. If without for my school friends, I might probably also not be me too. They did helped shaped who I am, how I behave and how I would react. But, I was again left alone because of some issues during my secondary school. I apologized, but it didn’t worked out- so I slowly disappeared for the clique. But I don’t think I will forget the bookmark made by JiaMin- together forever never apart, maybe in distance by never at heart.

OUR FRIENDSHIP BANDS.
GEnRe's!
Ever since my parent divorced, I got a lot more independent and am more discipline to do things automatically. I have also picked up many things along the way, which includes cooking, washing clothes, taking care of my siblings and many more. That’s because I don’t want my siblings to feel the full extent of what I went through, although I know I didn’t do it very well…I might not express it, but they really mean a lot to me! It’s really ironic right- how I care for them so much but unwilling to express it.


Anyways, thanks to this trip, I kind of reflected on my life again. Although I still cannot get over some of the facts, life still goes on right? Not going to expect much difference, but I hope I get to see my Mum and catch with her a little. I am very sure I will still miss her once in a while, pray for her and holding back my tears when she calls- but it will not change the fact that I am your son and you are my mum, right? I hope you are doing fine…

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
  
Bon Voyage for this BKK trip! J

BLACK & WHITE

Finally found the time to update this blog a little. As usual, I am always busy writing the story of my life, trying to beautify it with memories and thinking of what I be doing next. Of course in the process, I realized, in anything that we do, there is bound to be challenges faced. Some give up, others hang on and the rest just live with it and not care. But life still goes on, right?


This really encouraged me a lot during my really down times. Come to think of it, I am able to stand where I am now because of the many "black keys" that created music. Of course, I learnt how to enjoy times when I go through the little "white keys" of my life and cherish those moments more! Because I know, it will not last.


I was finally able to try this again! Ain't the name & logo of this beancurd unique? It always spurs up some thoughts when I see old couples still being so romantic to each other. Just saying.

Anyways, for the main thing of this blog post- my polymates! Not long ago, we celebrated my old friend's birthday! His name is Terence. He was my primary school friend- I still remember us joining Track and Field together; going to his house to do homework together. Anyways, because we were in different secondary schools, we lost contact? But, surprisingly, he is in my class this semester! And coincidentally, he birthday was last week. Of course, as a class, we didn't miss the chance to "make his day".

Although, as a class we only knew one another for awhile, I must really say this birthday thing was quite fun. Of course, I must really thank Chia Meng- for passing me the birthday card to get SOH people to write on it. It is through that, that I wanted to do something big. Well, not forgetting Tracy who spent lots of effort making the video just for that moment worth 2 minutes. Of course, last but not least, all my classmates! They were the ones who brought it all together for him. 

HAPPY 18 TERENCE! :)

This Terence almost cry when we executed the plan- feel touched right? Anyways, I am really glad to "know" him again. It is really a joy to have him around.

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY BROTHER! :)

To celebrate his big day, we when to buffet town and eat. 
I believe we all had the feeling that we cannot explain; perhaps a bond?
Till then!
