Auld Lang Syne...

What better time to include a blog entry, than the end of the year... Yes.. the last day of the year... ha ha ha...

Anyway, think gonna end the year on a good note afterall (note: it's good note.. not best note or high note..) Remember the 4 things that screwed up in 2004 for me? Ha ha... 2 just got better... God has not forgotten us.. and He never will...

1) Made peace with my dad... finally... happened when I was just abt to go back to camp when he made his move of acceptance of my apology by passing me the car keys... car aside... guess with this ordeal, it showed the both of us how much we matter to each other.. for all the years Dad, I love ya...

2) My platoon gave me a fond and memorable farewell... was grabbed by a couple of my guys to be 'lap-danced' by some dancer employed for entertainment during our Bn Annivesary Dinner... was followed by a 'taing' toast by some of them and it ended with the whole platoon saluting me back at the coyline... To anyone from Pl 5, thanks for all the good and bad times we shared during this whole year.. thanks for all the fond memories along the way, as well as the lessons we taught each other... sorry for the times when I failed to be whom you all wanted me to be... just want all of you to know that you guys have given me a fond, memorable and enriching PC tour, any PC would have wanted... do continue to keep the morale high.. and the coy flag flying high... all the best for 2005.. esp ATEC... Redcon 1 shouldn't be a prob for you guys in Stage 1.. thrive to excel in Stage 2, even though it's in Singapore... Thru' Thick & Thin Dudes!!!

Well... last post for the year perhaps, as I'm heading off for some good times with my long time buddies (yeah, no girls.. sad right?)

For the other 2 screwed up incidents.. just hope 2005 brings new hope for me... and for her... like I said.. as long as you are genuinely happy...

Auld Lang Syne my friends and God Bless for the new year!

Life's too short... 'Walk On... Leave it behind..'

Walk On
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring...
And love is not the easy thing....
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on, walk on
What you got they can’t steal it
No they can’t even feel it
Walk on, walk on...
Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
Can’t sell it, can’t buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Home… hard to know what it is if you’ve never had one
Home… I can’t say where it is but I know I'm going home
That's where the hurt is

I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme…

How to not get your ass kicked by the police...

Was reading my bro's blog and he's going to come out with 101 tricks to siam road block or to breeze thru them...

Here's my version, lifted off Chris Rock's show:

1) Obey the Law (don't drink and drive.. ha ha..)

2) Use common sense (don't freaking have a half drank bottle of Tiger in ur cup holder)

3) Stop immediately (you can't outwin a TP with sirens on and chasing you.. at least not in Singapore)

4) Turn that shit off (you won't want a TP to question u on top of his voice with your 'Punk Rock' being blasted thru your car stereo

5) Be polite (don't question the TP 'What the F*** you want?'

6) Shut the Fuck up... esp when u are travelling with a friend that can't shut up..

7) Get a white friend aka travel with a 'hongkie'.. not a 'brother'... ha ha..

8) Don't ride with a mad woman... speaks for itself...

Don't Drink and Drive... Drive when you have stopped drinking...

Seasons Greetings...

Procrastination...

Came before a damn crude quote which I dun really mind sharing here for those with an open mind.. rated M-18.. 'Procrastination is just like Masturbation... In the end, you are just screwing yourself' ha ha ha... Funny why I started to talk abt procrastination eh? Cos I'm... and am doing...

It's like D minus 12 days to Christmas eve... and I'm still not done with my shopping.. or shld I put it that I have not even started... S***... wonder whether will be able to squeeze time off as well, since I'm gonna be busy conducting lessons the next 2 weeks... only left 1 weekend to do last minute (not literally) shopping...

Anyway, the only shopping I have done so far might just be the purchase of my brand new Mit Lancer... ha ha.. had a talk with my dad and he's settling it for me... just have to come out with the downpayment.. aiming to clear at least 10 grand of it plus with the scrapping of my dad's car.. should be left with slightly less than 30 grand to settle with monthly installments... keeping my fingers crossed to get it before CNY next year... =)

Well, for those following my re-born romance as per hyped up since last weekend.. nothing much happened, really... just went out for meal and shopping.. but never really do much, not even talking abt us as well.. it all seems so... erhm.. friendly.. ha ha... maybe we just need time lah... what's more, she's been hanging out for drinks with friends lately, so definitely would be able to meet up with more guys... more choices... what am I to her? sigh... don't really wanna 'force' myself to being a spare as well... keeping my options open as well.. but.. what options?? ha ha ha...

Just came upon this song again lately... it's in a Jap movie (abt rescue divers) that's apparently quite good as well... Umizaru...

Open Arms - Journey

Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay.

Talk abt dejavu man... JQMM? ha ha ha.. better not man... gonna into serious work and serious shopping this next 2 weeks man...

10) Be more organised and less forgetful... shit, signs of getting old...

Akan Datang.. more is on its way...

Counting down to the end of the year or the start of the new year..

So... 2004 is coming to an end.. What have you done so far? What have you achieved? What have you gained? What have you lost? What have you to regret? Most importantly, what/where/how/who do you see yourself in 1 year's time, 2 years' time... 5 years' time? At 24.. at with an estimated 80 yrs old expectancy... I have 'wasted' more than 1/4 of my life.. another 1/4 would be spent in my old age... this next 20 yrs would be like the 'Time' of my life perhaps... Funny thing is I have been asking my best buddies this question.. but I can't seem to be able to answer it myself... My life just seemed so routine.. so mundane... every next day seems so aimless, objectiveless, pointless... it seems like what I have built up over the past 11 months are crumbling over... it seems all were not worthwhile... 'I want to run.. I want to hide.. I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside...' Suggestions anyone? Let's see if I can make a difference within the next 26 days... perhaps 2005 would be the turning point in my life.... perhaps perhaps....

Later...
