Well, Im pretty much convinced to go for the New Media course at NUS, its very close to the one I was considering at NTU... thank God for all His Blessings!

I guess sometimes, we shouldnt try to force everything around us to conform...and instead just...go with the flow... We can witness this within nature itself...

Alrighty thats about it for today...unless of course I decide to spam more later on.

Well, time is passing me by...

every so quickly.

so fast.

And well, its time to go back to school. Gotta submit forms and all that soon. I wonder what its gonna be like. I still have certain bits of some forms undone. =/

Well, I might not be taking philosophy after all... Im thinking of communications and new media...seems like my kinda thing. But we'll see how it goes I guess.

If you could listen to what Im hearing now, you'd be hearing "Members Only" from the RahXephon OST 1....funky song hehe.....

Anyhow, just came back from driving, *doh* is all I gotta say. After having no practice whatsoever for 2months I've realised that my driving is worse than a rusty robot in a trash compactor. My car seemed to want to bob up and down uncontrollably for most of the lesson. Normally, I dont mind this...but it got so bad today that not only was my instructor complaining, I could feel it too! =P

Thank goodness I have 2 more revisions to go for. Haha

Bye!

Life is funny.

Sometimes things really don't turn out the way you want. They turn out much better. Sometimes worse.
I went down to the Straits Times 160th anniversary draw today haha.. met some people I knew.. as expected we didnt win anything but it was fun I guess haha...kudos to whoever won!

I've been reflecting on the future. What I want. It seems possible...I guess...its simple enough...



What does the future hold...I wonder.

DEAD tired, Im just waiting for my hair to dry then Im gonna knock out. Phew what a day!

Yay! Learnt how to play mahjong at last! Only thing is..we played/talked so much that we didnt sleep...so Im in a kind of daze at the moment. Geeze sleep pattern all crazy now...in anycase tried Killer 7 as well.. must say its very original..very stylish and very cool...gotta get me that game.......

Well, thats about it. tata.

One must never live with regrets.

We do not forget, we remember and learn. But we must not regret. Regret holds us back, is a feeling that ties us down.
So easy to say. So hard to follow.


But we must all try.


As I post this I have a headache, so I'm talking funny. I figure its cause I tried to sleep on a mattress... I think I've gotten used to sleeping on hard surfaces to the point where soft stuff makes me hurt haha...time to bust out the old tatami mat again...

Wow, my youngest bro is now in Hong Kong, probably enjoying himself haha... damn I've been talking about visiting here and there during my break but I haven't budged an inch. Sheesh...perhaps another time. Slacking around at home is fun.

I've been trying to pick up coin magic, but its infuriatingly hard...cards are way easier.

In anycase,I just hope the week ahead brings about more activity. Im feeling restless haha..

Speaking about leaving, one of my choir mates just left...so aye, its always sad to see someone leave...but ah well...cest la vie eh... (I hope I spelt that right lol)

Man, was just listening to Melodies of life...the lyrics for both the English and Japanese version are nice...sadly beautiful...

I liked it anyhow.

"...So far and away, see the bird as it flies by
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky
I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings..."

Hmmm from the looks of things its not gonna be a very busy weekend.
Ah, my younger bro is going to Hong Kong as well..I hope he takes care. Sigh, when you watch your younger siblings grow, its hard to acknowledge that they actually are growing up. But ah well.

Ah..how the days just seem to speed by...

Almost time to start yet another new phase of life...I guess it would be fun to actually DO something for a change. Then again, change is always a little scary - you'll never know what will really happen. But I'm looking forward to it. It would be nice to meet new people, to learn and do work (yeah right..)

Just a little reflection for today I guess:

I think in general, we take many things for granted. I'm not innocent either. I guess its good to sit down quietly everyday to count our blessings. Sure, life will throw stones and rocks at you, but hey, it happens to everyone. As corny as it sounds, some of those rocks could be real gems... if life gives you lemons, you make lemonade right?

Ok thats enough.

Oh yeah, was just having a go at the Sims 2...interesting little game, and no where near as dry as Sim Farm or Sim City (yes the original one). Imagine if life was that simple...nah...that would be kinda boring. Oh yeah, there are some movies you might wanna check out though: go to www.thestrangerhood.com its movies made using the Sims2...and I think they did a pretty good job...the sims arent as predictable as human controled players in halo..(www.redvsblue.com)

Ok enough for today (really). Cheers!

Woohoo...just went to buy some new clothes... I've not done that in a longggg while haha...and yeah they are lighter colours this time too lol

Was a real long walk too..so I guess that counts as SOME exercise (I hope) :)

Ever stop and literally smelt the roses? Its nice. Being able to sit down and do nothing but stare into the sky. Nature and life itself is such a wonderful gift, but I guess at times we forget to slow down and take things easy. There's always so much to do, which is something we probably will not be able to escape. We need to accept things sometimes. But I feel that it's always good to stop, look and enjoy our surroundings once in a while.

Try it.

It's refreshing :)

It's the miracle of life.

Ha..I always get post happy when i do something new. After that I'll stop posting for weeks on end again.

Anyhow, just dug up lots of oldies...80's music is nice actually..even managed to find my old favourite: Wang Chungs Let's Go

Been a nice week basically...an old friend came back from overseas to visit us. Had very nice siao long bao...tasty stuff man. Oh and yes, I need to buy new clothes..ha... I've not gone for clothes shopping for months, actually if we didnt go to Australia for a holiday recently, it might have been years. Yes..I need less black, more colour...

Actually without having school for so many months, things have gotten rather boring. I kinda miss the interaction with people... then again the peace of being at home is blissful too...I can finally take things slow after two and half hectic years in the military.

Speaking of which, I was just talking to an old camp mate yesterday. After talking, I realised how much freedom I've gained. Yet, living in the army was an experience in itself, it has helped me to appreciate more things, and realise how much more fortunate I am...I used to type a sort of blog thing in camp on my desktop (which I did update periodically - unlike this blog...oh wait, maybe thats why I never blogged..haha) and thinking back on it, I realised I took many things for granted before going in the army. Life is much sweeter now, small accomplishments feel grander. I hope I don't lose this appreciation for things once I go back to school.

You know, I've probably related this a million times to my family, but I still remember the first day. I guess no one really forgets. One minute you're as free as a bird and the next you're suddenly in the army. Heck it happened so fast that I couldnt really get over the fact that I was actually IN the army...haha..

Well I guess its all over now...but everything I think of it, it makes me feel so appreciative of things...

Right I've said enough to put you to sleep I guess. So till next time.

OK completely overhauled the blog. It has some semblence of order now.

About the links, I basically lifted them all from SCC haha...(except wayne)

YAY
