WHO MOST HANDSOME? HAHA.

WENDY. EDWARD. JAMES. ERICK. IRENE. AMY.

ME. IRENE. GEORGE. 

 I remembered how I used to complain about myself not being able to blend in GEnRe to now acting as president guiding my juniors. I think it's also them that made me see that there is more towards just being an IG. This is also why I decided to not give- at least I mustn't disappoint them as a leader.

Don't disappoint me for the up-coming performance alright?!

I know it's tiring to have to keep practicing till really late, but persevere!

Let's all work hard together and put up a good 45 mins performance!

In the end, my question is: Then who understands me the best?

#SortingOutThoughts

SILLY ME.

I have this flaw of walking out of someone's life just because of one silly wrong-doing or mistake.

I will even forget about the memories we once shared, however good it was.

And after that, I will kind of regret it.

I am trying really hard to overcome this flaw of mine.

Don't want to lose another friend just because of this silly excuse- "you have done something wrong."

A real friendship just like a pen and an eraser.

And yes, I will take as many "shot as I can to capture the best moments".

201012.

I decided not to work on one of the Saturday in October since I have event on. 

It really is good to be able to spent time doing things you like to do and hanging out with people whom enjoy your company over a meal and catch up. I kind of miss how I used to have my Saturdays free and going to church and play with TDY before youth service compared to the rush hours at work.

Those were really the days of my life.

Of course, since I wasn't working, I did planned some activities to keep me going!

I went out with Esther and Annicia to catch a movie, Sinister at Vivo.

And as usual Esther is forever late.

Anyways, we also headed for lunch before that at some Japanese outlet.

And I try this pan-cake kind of thing.

Actually, it wasn't that bad.

As for the movie Sinister, it was a turn-off.

The story line progressed too slowly and its more towards solving the mystery kind of show.

But I really applaud Annicia for watching horror show with Esther and I, since she don't usually watch it.

Well, good thing Belven and Zhi Cao didn't come along.

Anyways, thanks for the company!

Looking forward to our next hang out together again, after Esther's O levels I guess.

After that, I headed to White Dog Cafe to find the BKK gang.

I had Carbonara because I don't like tomato based food.

Then I order Ice-lemon tea together with this durian pastry.

Overall, it wasn't that bad an experience.

Then I went to pick Tracy up from Harborfront bus interchange.

But in the end, I ended up meeting her at Circle Line MRT.

And Ariel went top pick up HL- to replace Kieren who cannot make it.

And finally we headed to USS for the Halloween event!

It my first time going for this event. My first impression was that THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE! Everyone is queuing up to enter Sentosa. Of course the queuing didn't just end there. The queue for the haunted house and rides was also crazily long! And in the end, we separated. Terence and Tracy was together roaming to other places. Well I was with Ariel, HL and also Maryanne, CM queuing for the Transformer Ride. But the ride wasn't that bad, other than it being too short. Then we went to the haunted house and queue another 1 hours for a 5 minutes of thrill. Not bad.

Of course, time pass really fast when I am having fun, another Saturday just ended like that. Soon after 12 midnight, most of the rides were closed, so we met at the entrance of the Transformer ride area. I was so down to the point even the scare-actors who tried to scare me was ignored by me, too bad. And Esther told me because I watched the horror movie with her- warm-up for Halloween. Since I wasn't in good mood, on top of that, the gang looked all quite happy and so I left faster because I didn't want to affect them. I know I made some of them were worried, on the other hand, some probably didn't want to care. 

Then again, maybe I was lonely since I was the "odd-one out" due to circumstances. Besides, what are the odds of me enjoying this event with the rain and all..? While walking back home, I did some reflecting. I kind of not understood why I felt like that- shouldn't I be happy after everything? Why am I in a bad mood? Throughout the journey walking back, I was drowned with thoughts. I concluded that I need to stop being so childish and control my emotions a little more. 

 I have created this invisible wall between myself and them. After removing this "wall", things might not be the same anymore. It just like the story of the boy who nailed nails into the wall, even after removing the nails, there will be scars. In this case, the scar would probably be myself not talking to them anymore. Looks like I have landed myself in another ugly position. If I know things will turn out this way, will I still walk the same path I took before? I am not quite sure as of now. Maybe I am just thinking too much, simple things like this with a bit of thoughts here and there complicated everything. Sigh...however dear October, thanks for all the disappointments I have been through in this month. Don't you think you are being a little too unfair to me?

The saddest kind of sad, is the sad that tries not to be sad. You know when Sad tries to bite its lip and not cry and go, “No, I’m happy for you”? That’s when it’s really sad. - John Mayer”

Why must things turn out like that?

18th October 2012

Today is the official day that marks my 18 years of living on Earth. 

Although it was my birthday, it felt as though it was just like any other day- plain, normal and simple. 

But, I really appreciate the effort that my beloved friends put in to make my feel special on this special day.

Although I wasn't surprised...

I would still wanted thank you guys!

Ariel. Maryanne. Tracy. Bi Yun. Jia Yi. Terence. Chia Ming.

The cake to the presents!

And also, thanks to all that contributed to the presents.

Thanks to me GEnReans juniors who sing the birthday song so loud in TRCC too.

I was told to make a wish today while blowing the cake. To be honestly, I didn't wish for anything. It's not that my life is so prefect that I had nothing to wished for, its just, I don't know. I did present my requests to God like what Uncle Johnathan told me, "If God is the true God, He better prove that He is there, living. No point for us to believe in second-hand religion right?" But, sad to say, it didn't happen. Sigh, looks like I will figuring things out myself again huh?

Anyways, I went for scholarship talk today. I know, spending my special day for a scholarship is nuts, but I need it so I am prepare to take it. During the talk, I was thinking how it would change my life because not only will I have to serve bonds, I will also have to intern there. And I was just thinking back at what some of my friends said to me "Let's choose the same intern company..". Not only that, serving the bond would also mean I will not be able to further my studies, is it a good or bad thing to just hold a diploma? There is just so many things to consider. Up till now, October 2012 wasn't really nice to me- its just problems after problems after problems. I want to go by the beach and shout it all out. Maybe I shall do that one day..

I have been telling myself everything will be worth it, just persevere.

It's not easy..but just persevere.

Something might come out of it.

I will let time do the job again.

A CHILD-LIKE FAITH IS WHAT I NEED..

18-10-2012, just another normal day.

A SURPRISE INDEED.

As usual, we meet up again before the semester starts again. This time we when for a Dim Sum buffet at YUM CHA! Good thing is that its freaking near my house- Chinatown only. So next time, I can bring my friends there to chill and eat good food. And I saw one of the singer "Chen Wei Lian"! So happy to be able to see him face to face, if only I took a photo with him. Anyways, I had a good time catching up with them.

I also want to thank them for a surprise birthday cake for me! Its really quite unexpected because its still quite awhile before my birthday. I really appreciate all of your efforts especially the fact that someone took note that I like cheese cake, damn touched, and of course the presents~! It fits me perfectly  thanks guys. 

DEVELOPED A SPECIAL LOVE TOWARDS THIS~!

After we were all deciding what to do next. And it kind of made the situation slightly sour because we couldn't decide on where to go- especially what movie to watch. And Tessa reminded me to not be selfish and take a step back. Kind of was reflecting on what she said- was I really too selfish? Anyways, we then headed to K BOX IN THE END TO SING OUT HEARTS OUT~!

We were inside this place singing till 10 plus.

Of course, none of us were in the mood for school the next day though.

Anyways, thanks for the company~! <3

I hope this bond we share will continue.

GEnRe BBQ~!

I think this post is quite belated. But nonetheless, I'll blog it because its part of my life.

You know, I have always dragged myself to IG because I could have been somewhere else doing something more meaningful- like going home to rest or even hang out with friends. There is this saying that goes "the grass is always greener on the other side". And yes, I am always stuck in this situation. It just hit me suddenly that probably I didn't make the best of what I have? That's why I feel that its not fulfilling enough. Come to think again, I have really learnt lots of things from this IG- from reading simple notes to finger playing the guitar and to even overcoming stage fright. And I kind of really thank the people that I have met- despite disagreements and all, GEnRe did go through lots of ups and downs. And at the end of the day, I think it all ties down to one thing- bond. We are all bonded by one common thing which is classical guitar. I really hope the next batch of committees will do a far better job then my batch.

Anyways I decided to organise this BQQ to chill everyone down before our performance- of course other than chilling, I hope they get to know one another better too.  And yes, as a event manager, I failed terribly in budgeting. Kind of over spent by quite a fare bit and so I top-up the amount from my own pocket. Anyways, it's rather fulfilling to take a short break and do something against normal routines.

MARSH MELLOWS~!

THANKS FOR THE SPEAKER IRENE!

Thanks Irene for booking the BBQ pit.

Thank to all who have attended the BBQ.

Thanks for helping out with the pit Daryl.

LASTLY, THANKS GOD FOR THE LOVELY WEATHER AND PROVISION! :)

I may not have headed to where I intended, but I think I have ended at where I should be.

HOMIES?!

Yet another week of my holidays have passed. And one more week, I will be back to my life as a student in RP. Actually, I am quite excited for the next semester- surely I will get to know more friends and forge new friendships, and also not forgetting the business modules that I will taking which I heard it's quite tough. Challenge accepted, bring it on!

Anyways, poor me. I was sick since the BKK trip. Too heaty till my phlegm got blood, which made me worried a lot that I might die. Damn funny. But thanks for all who really cared for me. It made me feel really loved~

LE MEDICATION.

Mid-Autumn Festival just ended yesterday! Normally, I would probably be playing with some candles and lighting up the whole playground and after that, collect some wax and keep it as mementos. Quite childish I know, but it always never fails to bring out the festive atmosphere, maybe its the people.

But however, this year I spent my time with my friends in town instead. After church, I went site visiting with the event committee for the up-coming community event by MKFC. Well, I was really quite amazed at how the idea are so wild, like not feasible- planning 40 games- meaning need 20 stalls worth of manpower and not to mention its in the "1 minute to win it" concept. But on the other hand, it makes things interesting if we manage to pull through. So now I will be squeezing my brain juice to think of creative games to challenge the one minute. Need all the experience I can get from planning events man.

Anyways, I am working on this book now with the youth leadership.

It's about discipleship.

But I cannot imagine myself mentoring others.

Just saying.

Then I went to watch the movie TED at Marina Square with Maryanne and Terence. I damn scare cannot enter because I'm not 18 yet- at least not till 17 days later! Anyways, I think the movie damn funny although a lot of crude words are being use, some sex scenes and the main character always drugging away with the teddy bear. But, I think the content really funny, was laughing throughout the movie. This Terence even said I lost my virginity in watching porn due to TED. But he is really scare of horror movies, I think Maryanne also.

Then after that, we went bowling and CM joined us. The only thing I remembered would Maryanne teaming with me against Terence and CM. Unexpectedly, WE WON THEM! Okay, have to say we lucky also. I managed to strike two time consecutively. Maryanne also strike once. So in the end, sorry brothers, YOU GUYS LOST!

Then Ariel joined us and we went to MakanSutra to dinner. My first time there though. Not all the food were as good as I though it would be. But it was complimented with the people I dine with! Really had a good time laughing at one another. After that, we went for dessert at some pastry outlet- Ariel and Maryanne works there. And we played monopoly deal as we eat.

And finally, we went for pool at SCAPE. This Terence is surprising good at it. Again, I teamed up with Maryanne. Got thrashed quite badly though. Anyways, was pretty sure Ariel and Maryanne never really pool-ed before. There is always the "first times" experience, huh? Had a good time with them~

MY FAVORITE PHOTO <3

Looking forward to our next time hanging out together! My first Halloween at USS on 20-10-2012.

Then, I left to Annicia's house because Esther was looking for me. Less did I expect that they need my presence to choose present for a guy only. Haha, anyways, thanks to Esther being indecisive, I left Annicia's house at around 3 in the morning. Goshhh..But I managed to complete the game "Solomen's Magic", damn happy~ And also, we watch the movie Dawn of the Dead. This Annicia as usual, watched the movie on ear-piece mode. Like that where got kick? But there were really gross scenes in the movie. Anyways, this Esther, as usual, always think of weird food to cook. That time was chocolate fried rice, yesterday was strawberry udon. And she forced me to drink banana milk and eat this alcoholic chocolate which tasted really bad altogether.

October is my favorite month!

Hope it will be good to me.

Till then~

Motivation is very important huh?
