the boy from the other door.

Oh, the holidays have been alright, but not all that exciting or it being placed to very good use. moreover, my laptop has a key problem, both my 'shift' keys arent working and my graphics has been down to grade one. so excuse the absence of question marks, exclamation marks, capitol letters and stuff, hell i even had to copy and paste the 'at' symbol from word doc to sign in to my email and others.
results are out and it's not all that well and improved - the gpa remained the same from year 2 sem 1, there were improvements i saw however, one reason i can think of to explain the static gpa is that i had one less module in sem 2 to sem 1 therefore, though the improvements it was 1 module less. not so proud and it troubles me sometimes to think that year 3 is on its way and modules will probably be tougher, class might or might not be ideal same goes for facilitators and my fyp team is not very responsive at all. to add on, my laziness isnt helping either. i just wanna enjoy my last long poly hols yet i have all these at the back of my mind. man, all this growing up with more worries and responsibilties.
well jan 09' was good enough, feb just keeps going fast with events after events. ever since christmas, all events moved as if in a day had less than 24 hrs. birthdays, celebrations, new years, month anniversaries, valentines and planned outings with family and friends. all i could do is savour and cherish those times and for others to come. most of my feb days have been home, i have totally facebook enough each day, repetition of songs which i enjoy and now can sing/rap some word for word from all my boredom and free time. work has been postponded from a month to a few more weeks before i can really begin, cash has been a tight issue and really thanks to my mum, dad and baby to place in enough/share. though sometimes it's only just enough, it still gets me through some days being okay giving up doing some activities.
happy birthday people of the month, shuping, dalvin, ainsley and freeman.


one of the many meets up after her internship, more or less every other day to accompany her for dinner and catch ups.



the family sundays came back after a while. sentosa cove and others. cove's the dream crib for now, breath taking and imagine having to own not only a fancy resisdence there but a yatch, one degree 15 membership and a whole lot more.


there was a lack or no photos at freeman's so we had our own after his 21st party at springbloom, it was good to see freely all happy and his bday speech was actually pretty touching and with his style of funniness, it was all good.


the thursday night chill out with baby along, it was a pretty good one with lotsa looking back and some new stories of our own to baby from the all boys school days.


yoga lin, an invite by baby from nebo's private event. he's a pretty young and upcoming singer out there in asia i am guessing.


valentine's. trying not to fall into the over ratted name of the day, we had a pleasant picnic. she had her fyp meeting in the morning so i guess it wasnt all lovely in the morning part for her. before our picnic we actually ended ourselves at burger king for 'fire meets desire' promo for valentines giving out a perfume which has a seductive scent with a hint of flamming grill burgers which came along with the purchase of a couple meal. added something new to having lock lips in front of their cameras and live video but we left early before we could be interviewed. all to help my sis valentines gift to her bf. lastly, this perfume item cost us80 to 90 dollars. boyfriends smelling like burgers make their girlfriends hungry for food not them, humm...


valentines night at the night safari, nice experience and great time and that was about it for valentines 09. glad to have it planned hand in hand with baby and she being my valentine just made the day more meaningful though love should always in air we breathe all days. love you hard and with all my heart baby girl. hope you enjoyed yourself, love the suprises and cherish the moments with me - your valentine.

Y to the Z node.


































Surprisingly the Lunar New Year carried on for more than just the usual 1st and 2nd day. It was pretty much a little rest on the 3rd where I was suppose to take my parents out for a movie but I ended up being lazy and it was all day Dvd and Laptop work.
4th day, it was finally time for baby's return from Msia. Right back and she didnt miss her bed or home more than she had miss me, thus she being sweet requested to see me as soon for the night, joining my fellas and I for dinner, game of table soccer, pool and good rounds of Blackjack. Prior all that, the day was spent walking many kilometers with Dalvin shopping in town, he spent loads just for his Bday, something I will take months to consider or even so not consider at all. Ha.
5th day was a steamboat invite over at baby's, 2nd time there this time with her whole imediate family and a cousin, mandarin speaking FYI, goodness. It was good dinner and time though, thank you uncle and aunty so to you of course, lover girl. Blackjack was the addiction for days, played along with her bro and cousin and left for a late night movie.
6th day - Youth Vineyard's 4th Year Anni. Great gathering, pleasant catchups, tasteful food, a little time in reflection and praise, bundles of laughter in the midst and a whole new level of fun in blackjack. There was the Mahjong gang and Blackjacks. Me being in the Blackjacks, it was all morning action, being Catholics yet joking around with luck and good positions to win, Gambling in the Dargon's Den but out came an Ox, Marvin might have been the cause of a little change of luck. From switching places to shuffling the deck at specific number of times oh and shouting "Huat ar!" seems to be the name of the game instead of "21!" Happy 4th Year it was. Praise God, we suprised, remain the cool community and proved many wrong.
7th day where some chinese says it's known as everyones' Bday, my parents planned on a good simple dinner with thier childern's lovers invited thus, sister's boy and Sin Yee came to join in, so did my sis boy's brother too. Thanks much to my mum for the generous idea and for really making the effort in events like these playing alongside my dad too. Earlier in the afternoon, had a more than a decade friend made family friend, visit, while baby was over at my place too. Joined the interesting coversations after mine with baby, the uncle spoke stories of spirits, how God comes into bodies and evil doing likewise, knowing that in a new house one may be living in the storeroom and such. Even mentioned eeri stuff about teli-tub-bis(dont remember how to spell that "kids' show) walking around opening drawings, eating downstairs while people were fast asleep, owners threw these toys away but the next day it returned at its original place. Right now, at 3am I can feel my hair stand just blogging about it.
So the new week arrives, quickly 2 weeks of my holidays went by.
The 2nd wasnt packed as much as the 1st but I will blog on that alittle later.
Right now, I find the time to blog congrats to baby for achieving her internship with EPCOS. Out of at least 150 students in her course alone, 3 was given this opportunity with the company. I feel for her when it comes to being nervous, thinking about the whole 1o weeks of holidays gone with working about more than 8hrs during weekdays and such. However, realisticly it will make an impact to her resume besides the usual events and work that she has accumulated over years so far. The experience and encountering what others cannot for now or wont in future is priceless. Despite the shortcoming of having to make extra time needed off to keep up with her fast and hardcore FYP team and faci, it's still killing 2 big birds with one stone. Love, you got to know that it's will turn out good and I know you can handle it better than you think. Though I could only be your ears, shoulders and your advisor/manager in certain areas, I hope that will keep you strong and go through each day getting more and more use to and it will be 10 weeks of good experience alongside responsibility, management and shaping you up for the future! Congrats, love you will do good.

Why search the prefect



































A few pics will be up but all have been on Facebook. To be a little faster and systematic this is most of my Jan 09'.
Many chill out days with baby, a photoshoot with her for my school's magazine, theme about Love. Skipping of school for other plans and rest. Out with family and once together with my sister's bf and others.

10th - Mark's place for his 21st.

My Birthday - 18th Jan
Day 1 of it - Family to Malaysia, JB took the MRT, Bus and the Railway(KMT) it was a surprise by my family. Tricked me to wake up at 7am, took me to the Gardens market for Breakfast, asked me to take along my bag and taadaa we are going to Malaysia, did not see how it will be much of my day as my sis will be the one enjoying all the shopping alongside my mum haha. But it was pretty much all good. Good affordable food, got a pair of limted Nike Air Jordans and tops, tried the train for the 1st time, overall the adventure was good. Oh and by the time we arrived back home, along the way down the lane, midnight strike happy birthday to me was while I was walking back home, how odd or funny was that and for the record it is the 1st time is many years I'm out on my birthday at 12midnight. The usual celebration came, cut the cake, made a wish and opened the presents oh as if it was Christmas. Thank you, Mum, Dad and Sis for making it all good. The effort was better I must say usually it's just lunch or dinner. Haha. Love you'all. Special thanks to my mum and sis for the idea. To my dad and mum for the pair of shoes. Great stuff.

Day 2 (actual day) - Full day out with love. Despite sleeping late my alarm clock happen to do its job real well, maybe I was looking forward in many ways with baby aye. Got up about 6plus to attend 7am mass and my mum came along with me, thanks for always being there! Thereafter, it was already time to head off to meet her, Volvo Ocean Race was what we needed to catch early as they planned to head off by 10am, got there on time and it was really nice and something real new to see there, 1st time by Singapore and is already in the list probably by SSC to host it here. Great place Sentosa Cove. Was able to be a little more proud of Singapore because of the awesome plan by baby, which allowed me to complete what Sentosa had installed for many years and finally I am taken to it. Took,visited,climbed, enjoyed,experienced, learnt and what not for all the stops we made.

Sky Tower
Merlion
Moonlight/Luge and Skyride
Underwater World
Dolphine Lagoon
Insect Kingdom
Song of the Sea
More than 12hrs out in the sun, moving around, taking lotsa photos and so on wasnt all that easy after many hours caused me a bad headache and runny nose during the night pains me to spoil the plan! Pls no more of this headaches for me man, argh. Sorry my love, but I have to say lucky it was till the end of all the places we went so that it wasnt much of any waste. At the last hour of my birthday itself I returned home only to cherish everything that was done for me. I recieved a card from YV too when I arrived back thank you all so much. I must say I am alittle disappointed you guys werent part of it more so it was a Sunday and I could remember NYNY for Mark and I too last year. Though, I was busy or if there was a plan in the first place but thanks much for all those wishes which came in non stop from you members of Yv. Belated!? Haha. Hints.

Thanks to all for the many wishes be it by SMS, FB wall and msg, all the other modes and personal wishes, thank you.

Big huge thanks to family and my love Sinyee.
Thank you love, the plan, effort, presents oh they are good/useful stuff! The thought the amount of time off you took before the day itself and on the day itself where you always place that smile on my face, nose running, head spinning but the smile still on because of you my sweetheart lover girl. Even forced yourself for the Insect kingdom really appreciated, all in the name of what I enjoy and like. Big hugs and sincere kisses. My mum too must have thought you done well for bringing her boy out for the whole day enjoying which made me skip school the next day recovering for sleep! Winks.



Now to all other friends for the Jan babies. Happy birthday to Mitch, Aud, Sheryl, Mark, Bowen, Lydia, Xiu Qi and Daryl.

Ended Year 2 - 23rd Jan

24th @ Timbre with the boys and my girl for the belated celebration of my birthday and the coming for Daryl's. Good'o time and gather the army talk between the guys who hasnt entered and so on. Thanks baby for following and blending in with my list of the closer guy friends. So when with all your pretty lady friends huh? Oops. Timbre wasnt all that good, the service greeted me oddly and it seems to have some security issues either than that band was 3 stars and food was 3.5 out of 5.
CNY 25th - Reunion, 26th and 27th - Visits. Had a long visit at each house which cut the other visits down which mean less people met and less Ang Bao and also meant more munching of goodies when the boredom kicks in, skinny me but poor fatty tummy. Good gathers, some bad politics and readings of people and from people but damn that and remain positive. 27th, glad that my uncle is fine from his operation, family friend and to Sarah's. Good time catching up pretty much just with Sarah and Jared but good and many rounds of blackjack with the rest, Earned some and shared some, haha not many will agree with the shared part though haha and an invisible uncle Eddie.

So what's next? A few Bday Parties, Valentines, family trip to Hong Kong and that's about it for now, I hope to have more though. Being busy can be less tiring than just slacking. 24 series is still the addiction, 3 more seasons to go, do the math.


"Sometimes we seem to see hate more than love as we have that haunting confusion between both."
The leader in obivious ways but he is scared and humbled away when the truth arise one day. He fed the rich and abandon the poor, he taught the blind to walk and he helped the lame to see. Nothing more than it seems, as how contradicing life can be. To seek that path still in search to be enlighten by our very ownself and to forget knowing the rest.

About Me

Singapore, Serangoon Gardens.
I wouldnt say I'm that much of a simple guy who lives down the street with little motives running through his head, cause that wouldnt be me neither would it be that simple. Like most and all others, a man who transits between his faith, hopes and downs back to reality where either or neither both be found. If I was to state me as simple, then it places my aims to the test. Defying the oughts of nothing but the simple truth, sad and drown, torn yet driven to find out why and the reason he was brought here in aid to comprehend his fingerprints and the complex map as if a form of hardcore tattoo arcoss his palm printed; he urges his story to unfold, crushes the young chapters but alike an innocent kid, places it under his pillow. What will you do if you came back to life and held the object and subject who killed you? To meet and yet be part of the director of this enticing thriller yet dramatic plot of my life.
