It's different now

How many times must I lie to show you the truth?
Not many ppl know this, but I still can't say this out.
It's hard to talk, coz I don't want to make anymore mistakes.

If anything happens,

I HAVE my reasons.

And I'll pray for the best.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh! Happy Puasa-ing to the Muslim pplS. =]

Oh.. Speedy Gonzales.

Fast eh?
So fast, that we didn't have the chance to make things proper.
I wonder.

Anw, Friday was... fulfilling.
Always wanted to play soccer with the teachers of VS.
And I finally did, with a goal in my hand when i left.
HAHA. xD
The final score for the Student Orgs and Teachers was 2-2 btw.

After prayers, went to TM to have lunch.
Had Swensens for the first time in my life.
Ok ah. But i prefer Banquet. =P

And FAWWAZ! thnx for giving me the creative zen-stone mp3!
Really appreciate it, Deeply.
Deeply.

A week back, my dad and I was at a clinic, when this tall and big-sized
Indian man approached us with a wide smile. So wide that it sent chills running down my
spine. He took out a piece of journal and tore a piece of paper out.
Then, he began talking about luck and how unfortunate my family is.
And he can change my luck and fortune, etc blablabla.

He crushed a small piece of paper, began asking us to choose sum numbers and
spoke abt how this numbers affect my life. Then he asked for the crushed paper and say that
'that' paper can predict the future blablabla.

And I SAW him exchange the crushed paper with another crushed paper.

And he gave my dad the other crushed paper, trying to convince us that he had predicted the
numbers that we chose earlier. (confusing? I know) After the fortune stuffs all that,
he opened up his journal and said to my father,

"$10."

Dad: "If not?"

Him: "You put first then I tell you. It's for your own good."

Then my dad refused and talked abt the fact the Islam doesn't believe in this fortune telling
and stuffs. But, the indian man still wanted the $10. A lot of shit talking and stuff la.
Coz my dad wanted him to scram off, he gave $2.

As the man departed, I said

"Thnx for the magic show. David Copperfield teach you right? No wonder."

I think he heard me. Hahaha.

Noob Con-Man.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moral of the story:

Show your clean intentions first, and others will sympathize you.

Hahahaa.

d.o.t.s.

=(

Exco 06/07 farewell

Victory.

The body's victory is often the soul's tremendous loss.
The soul's victory is always the body's amazing progress.
Victory usually means temporary peace.
But peace is eternity's victory.

When there's Victory, success accompanies you wherever you go.

But this "feeling" is just something that defines and differentiate humans.
It's your choice.



For me, I think Victory is not on my side for Term 3. =[
Studies screwed. Dang. On the other hand, I've learnt a lot during this term.
And I'll definitely put knowledge and experience into good use in the future.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GREAT! today i wasted like 1 hour. Coz I overslept in the bus. And missed my stop
completely. But weirdly, I rmbred waking up and just watch my stop pass by, and then
sleep again. Loser. =S


And I've learnt sumthing abt leadership. It can't be taught.
More importantly, leadership can't be judged by words alone.

If sum1 behaves rudely, promoting bad influences, destroying the school's name,
shouting in bus, BASICALLY disobeying his morals,

and,

he tells you : "Cmon! I'll lead you towards Victory!"

Would you listen to him?


Right.





So what if you're an appointment holder but your behavior doesn't speak for your words?

Selfish beings.

i!iDANG!i!

YES! DANG!!!
man. as i expected it to be.

(before CA)

"MAN.. CA2. When it's done I'm free, finally."

(2day)

"Shit."
"Oh man."
&
"Yes, Sir"


Man. man. man. I hate work.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
and is there really 7 ppl that looks like you?
if there is..

Is there really 7 ppl whose character and way of mind similar to yours?

=]
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh wells. Certain part of life sucks. But it'll only make the next moment brighter.

what can i say.. :)

What can I say..

Today's a SUNNY, HOT, but WINDY day.
And i love it!

Today SS is okokok la.
Must depend on my AEP as Humans d =P


Well, what can I say..
It gets kinda irritating when ppl think you're not what you are right?

:]

Medium of the Memory

If you only knew.

Your memories, your past.
They are the ones that created who you are now.
And thinking abt those times, they will make you ponder and reflect abt who you really are.
For me, my memories are the ones that'll make me smile.
For me, my memories too, are my weaknesses.. possibly.

----------------------
(sidetrack)
Do you guys know that I hate the modern world that we're living in now?
Selfishness, Corruption, Greed. They are all close friends of the 'modern world'
I define the modern world as from "2002 onwards"
Man.. Man.. man.. (don't digress)
----------------------

There are a lot of factors that made me wana go back to the past again. (Time Machines!!)
Hu doesn't? Anyone? You?
Partly due to 'life sucks now', & other than that, my life now is super mundane.
Why? When I was young, my whole family, (whole as in aunts, cousins, etc), always had time to have fun together.
Played around, joked, laughed. Went to holidays together, had fun at my village together..etc.
But now? Not a single bit. I've not tasted true holidays or family bonding after the year 2002.
Why? I can't expose my personal stories on the world wide web can I? xP


Memories. They are captured when they are significant.
And when there are mediums facilitating to capture them.
Not in terms of photos and vids of your (holidays or stuffs for eg.).
It's more towards the atmosphere and the feelings/emotions that you'll get
when you experience that particular medium.

For me, it's songs and videos (for eg, cartoons, shows).
When I listen to a song or watch a show, and on that period of time,
I'm feeling an atmosphere of something that can't be replaced by words...
Snap. It's captured there.

Ever wondered why I prefer old songs and not the current/latest ones?
xD
Now you know.

And today, I browsed through these mediums again. Wow.
I nearly teared watching / hearing them.
Looking and enjoying back at what you originally did is not childish FYI.
It's just appreciating the unfolding nature of a beautiful life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a very simple example.

Definitions

Can you really define who you really are?

Frankly speaking, I don't really like to go with the textbook.
and I HATE those who tries to follow the wrong textbook.

Anyone may think that he/she/they are correct and what they do isn't wrong.
But that's partly pure selfishness.

I pity those who can't judge which is bad, good, or which is just a little too much.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh yah Victorians. You realized sumting's missing and long gone?
It's our fault. We, all of us, have to revive it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

U know, I've been sleeping at lyk 2am nowadays.
And a few days back, I reached home at 7pm. 1/2 an hr later, I was asleep.
Guess what time I woke up? 4.30am. Screwed. =[

Sleep early!

Determination

If only everything was right at the starting point.
If only I can turn back time.
If only ppl can understand me, why I'm feeling this way.
If only.....
Hey dude. Stop dreaming. You immature freak.

You know, I've long lost my determination and hunger to strive for success.
Success - in terms of studies of course.

During my Sec1 days, I rarely nid to touch my textbooks at home.
All i do is play, and play, and play. Ps2, soccer, ps2, table tennis, badminton, fishing etc.
And its like every single week. I didn't fail to not do these stuffs everyday. xD
And it's a wonder for me to get 4th in level in sec1. I wonder how and why.
(really not trying to boast here.)(don get me wrong.)(really.)

But now. I realized that its kinda dumb not to study and revise. Now, I've been like going home
late. Thnx to the addictive, homely, conducive school that I'm in xD.
For what? It's for me to know and for you to find out.

=S

Which somehow brings me to AEP. Installation ART!! :)
Gah. It's fun though. And i got this brillllliant idea for social and religious tension in a country.
It will be placed at the 6 1/2 floor. (at the surau there)
So for the Muslim boys who happen to find sumting weird there, pls don tear it down or play with it. I'll tell you guys what isit abt after the submission date is over.

Umm... Physics homework! Yah ok. BB.


UPDATE!!!

*BAng Bang Bang* goes my head.
One headache meal coming up in 7.6789232 mins.

Speech Day 2008

Thank you to all who had played a part in gracing this prestigious event.
Especially to those who had been spending their last 2-3 months, practicing,
and giving their all out for this day. Victoria School has to be proud of her sons
for keeping her flag unfurled.

As quoted by Mr Low Eng Teong, our principal,
"There are no reserves nor substitutes. Every1 has to play their part"
Yes indeed. Definitely.

We can't just focus on our individual studies alone. Guide them.
We can't just separate ourselves into grps, classes, CCAs, race or religion. Be united, as one.
We can't just hide our different keys to success. Share them.
We can't just mind our own path while the others are in the wrong road. Lead them.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.
~John Donne

So, play your part as every piece helps in solving a puzzle.

If you guys are free to view a small part of the speech day, feel free to drop by my Flickr acc.
And if you're pasting it on your respective blogs, a little credit won't take so much effort rite?

Thanks.

Valuables - They must be valued as time is a linear river of continuous currents. xD

My PITCH team; consisting of Me, Aidil, Jonathan, Adam and Keith, presented
our campaign ideas to the judges at NGEE ANN poly yesterday.

Altho we lost (and were told that we nearly got into the finals),
I swear that we've enjoyed this comp. It's not abt winning nor losing, its abt what you gain from it.
For the past 2 weeks, we have been staying back almost everyday till 8.30pm and worked our
a** off for this comp. There's even a night when we held a sleepover in school, jz for this comp.
Hehh.

Precious knowledge, skills and experience were learnt thru this comp. Not only mentally,
but emotionally as well.

And this factor really made my 2 weeks fruitful. I've always been a keen learner in how life works - from social cohesion, perception and how every single action defines us.
You know what, you guys shud really try it too.

All you have to do is to take a step back, and think abt it.

;D
