wat a lovely lovely chalet. i think it's damn cool that we have this yearly thing going on for 6th Council.

looks like the past 2 years have realli realli been hectic eh? especially the girls ah, uni and all. it's so nice to see them happy and relieved for now since it's the hols. thank god we took photos, cos before we know, sch begins in aug!!

it does take a bit of effort to maintain good frenship and im glad to say that it's been 4 yrs knowing these bunch of ppl and thats cool. think 4 yrs is pretty long in Singapore. Time flies, but 4 yrs is definitely a looong time. and im glad that after 4 yrs, the chemistry still kinda remains. we mature, yes...but comfort is still there. feels really gd.

and yes, queries and doubts about uni were patched yesterday. thankfully. thanks to Yixin and Laiyan. *muacks to both* now im looking forward to start of school even more. and i learnt the truth about the shitload of subjects looming in the dark. goodness. it's crazy!! it's a shitload of breadth and depth. but hey, that's not gonna curb my excitement for sch.

education's a privelege that i'll forever treasure and cherish, and in time to come, i hope i'll be able to contribute back to society in some ways. haven't thought about it yet, and am probably not ready but it will happen. i guess now's good to strt thinking about a bottom-top approach to change. it's magical when someone takes the phrase "be the change you want to see in life" into action and take it to a whole new level of actually doing. and yea, i can see that happening here. =) tho not a huge level, but hey, wat realli matters is affecting change to the ppl around you that you love. even if it means onli ur grp of frens or family. if it means a lot, then it's an effort worth mentioning and applauding.

my 2 cents. just my opinion. healthy commentary is welcome. =)
this is inspired by the commentary I had with Alvin and Yixin at 230am in the morning. it was a much needed discussion. =)

so yea, take care yo.
Cheers!

am very super relieved now that the NTU matric package has arrived. couple of days ago in fact. i've done the first few steps, now just gotta wait few more months to matriculate, and alakazam, will be able to print out my timetable soon.

i guess for now, the coolest part is getting my own @ntu.edu.sg webmail. call me naive or childish la, but it realli is kinda cool. ahhah. so yeap, a while more and off to study for me. =)

went to pc show today. sis sent me a brochure. states that pacific city selling Macbook white for 1088!!! that's a pretty damn good deal. the specs looks like the latest but i got a damn good feeling they were clearing old stock, but wat the heck, it was still one hell of a deal. went down with sooo much hope, end up, all units snapped. grrr.

oh well, think i'll just get one at education pricing soon. yes i noe many softwares are not exactly compatible with mac, but hey, i've resigned to that fact, willing to make the change. wooyea!!

check out this space soon, i'll post more cool vids.

still want to save up for a macbook. i have my eyes on the white polycarbonate macbook. dun realli like the unibody aluminium one tho. so must save. haha

i'd like to end this post with a story. you've prolly heard of this story many times. but hey, deserves a spot on my blog. so pls read and enjoy, cos i believe it's pretty much true for some of us, myself too.

Rocks and Sand

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in
front of him. When class began, wordlessly he picked up a large
empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks
about 2" in diameter.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them
into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course,
rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The students laughed. The professor picked up a box of sand and
poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is
your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your
partner, your health, your children - anything that is so important
to you that if it were lost, you would be nearly destroyed.

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your
house, your car.

"The sand is everything else. The small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the
pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend
all your energy and time on the small stuff, you will never have
room for the things that are important to you.

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your
partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean
the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal.

today's quite an impactful day for me. flashbacks of that fateful day lingered in my mind.

i truly felt for those 'strong' kids. i admire their courage for sharing because i wouldn't be able to pluck up that amount of courage. even now, i still conceal that part of my life from people around me.

did my best to control my emotions and tears, to hide 'em from the kids. but i guess, kids being kids, they can detect the true energy you are emitting, even tho u put on a tough front.

i guess the most encouraging moment today was when one of the kids asked if i was alright and suggested that i wrote an appreciation letter for my parents too. i felt kinda embarrassed, but at the same time it was realli quite encouraging. quite heartening to see a 12-year old that mature, cut above the rest.

having being around kids for 3 events in a row has made me very very fond of them. made me realise that i need to add colour to my life, especially the way i speak.

so yeap, today's been great, in fact better than yesterday for me. tomorrow will be a better day and that my fever will be gone. heh.

cheers!

yesterday was such an awesome day. It's been so long since i met mukas and gobblers. well, glad to know that everyone's feeling good.

feels so good to be around people that you care for. frens who are honest, genuine and upfront. such a rarity. really glad to have 'em part of my life. time kinda stops when im around them.

cant help but blog after such a wonderful gathering, cos they're worth being raised on a pedestal. yeap, love 'em deep deep yo!

cheers!
