Stayed over at Chan's hse plus dotAed abit too. Quite a cosy place and his family members are frenly too. Ran the saucony passion run with Chan after that. Pics will be up soon. Clocked a personal best timing i think but still quite slow due to the lack of sleep the night before. Watched Angels and Demons and yeah it was as good a movie as pple claimed it to be. Saw quite a scary scene midway through the movie becos someone fainted in the theatre. 4 pple hurried and carried him out of the theatre and probably dialled the ambulance's hotline. Was very very tired after that but still continued for a game of dotA at Chan's hse. Ate St louis pork ribs, very good yet super fattening! lucky these few weeks will up the intensity of gym and running sessions during lunchtime and after work. Gotta get myself into the acceptable weight range. Haha. Looking forward to mizuno run and army half marathon and the excitement installed for me during the races.

Let not the things of this world sway me until I have completed the race.

Life's pretty good today especially after all the auditing crap. Slept for 1.5 hours after lunch on the sofa and woke up with leg cramps. In addition, ytd's additional gym session cause me to sustain some chest pain. But MO reassured me that it was nothing after doing and ECG. Probably some muscle strain. Hopefully will be out in action for sunday's passion run! Quite looking forward to it except the fact that I will have to wake up super super early. Miss bball alot since i have not touched it for a decent 1 week. Praying for someone to call me out for a competitive bball game that doesn't clash with my weekend scheldule! Anyway the other module at MDIS is also very interested. Lecturer was rather humorous and active despite his rather old age of 62. Guess education is still the thing for me. Must fully utilized every single sec in my NS days.

Friends that last are what matters most, the rest can wait.

This has been a really crazy and busy week for me. Rushing around like a mad person, doing all the typings, carryings and filing. Driving me insane! Lessons today was quite engaging and interesting. Lecturer spoke about public relations and how to argue your way through the situation and handling crises professionally. Didn't regret choosing this mass comm course although I was the youngest in the class!!! Travelling is a big issue for me though. I think in my NS life I spent 40 percent of the total time on travelling. No wonder nothing productive is ever accomplished, with the exception of some maybe. Haha.

Anyway movies anyone? (Bernard here's ur chance) HAHA

The most difficult thing to do is to tell the truth, yet it is the most courageous thing that you can do.

Life is getting more and more busy back in camp. Having something to look forward to be it mid-day or end of work somehow serves as a better driving force for work to end faster. For now, I have been gyming almost every noon during lunchbreaks. Hopefully will do something else instead of gyming everyday so that life will be more colourful. ( Not that gym is really boring, it's quite relaxing for me actually ) Starting lessons this wednesday. Will change a different persona from then onwards. Shall be a mugger instead of an idler. School may be a boring word for many but definitely not to me. Used to dread school alot but when something is taken away from u, u will tend to cherish it more. Therefore, I'm so gonna cherish this education given to me. :)

NJ cultural concert tmrw! Pray that it better be good. Otherwise an occasional hanging out with juniors ain't a bad thing too. Jia you to all those performing!

Life is as good as you perceive it to be.

Life is like running a marathon. But will it be a journey in which only the sound of my footsteps will be heard, or will it be a journey whereby many footsteps will be running alongside with me?

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

When life slaps you hard on your face, find means to fend off the next blow.

How i wish i can sleep through all my troubles and let them disappear by itself.

Today is a real bad day! :(:( At least watching good bball matches and eating good food makes me happy. Praying that someone or something will add colours to my mundane lifestyle at least for now.



It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.

Tonight

I remember the times we spent together
on those drives
We had a million questions
all about our lives
and when we got to New York
everything felt right
I wish you were here with me
tonight

I remember the days we spent together
were not enough
and it used to feel like dreamin'
except we always woke up
Never thought not having you
here now would hurt so much

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
and know the stars are
holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight

I remember the time you told me about when you were eight
And all those things you said that night that just couldn't wait
I remember the car you were last seen in
and the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
and stayed out way too late
I remember the time you SAT AND told me about your Jesus
and how not to look back even if no one believes us
When it hurt so bad sometimes
not having you here...

I sing,
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
and know the stars are
holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight

I sing,
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
and know the stars are
holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight

When life gives you lemon, you will pray silently for someone to turn it into lemonade.

Will your footsteps be the one following me, encouraging me, spurring me on in this game of life?

Happy Mother's Day to all mother's worldwide. And to my own mum as well. Thank you for bringing me into earth and allowing me to experience what is love and what it means to enjoy family warmth. Home is where the heart belongs. Let's appreciate our mums in this very special day. Don't wait for a funeral to pay a compliment. You may not make it in time.

I'll wait, even if it means for eternity.

The girls lost their last match in the quarter finals to VJ. But it's not grief or sadness but instead it is elation. Because it wasn't through an individual's effort that brought them thus far, but through the combination of everyone's skills and contributions that made NJ team such a formidable team. Never giving up even till the last second has always been the mantra of every single NJ basketballers. Yeah, that's right. We rather die trying than to die without trying. If you do not make an effort in acheiving something that u desire because you believe that u do not possess the ability to, you are totally wrong. Because in everyone of us, we have a hidden talent that is revealed through adversity. As the wise man says, Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it. In order to be stronger, we have to work harder. It's quite sad to think that your 2 years spent training in this school will end with such a mini momentary bang. Cherish your years in NJC, Cherish ur frens and mostly imptly cherish the passion of basketball.

From day 1 of NJC, I grew from a utter hatred to the school, to a grudging acceptance and lastly to a fond liking to the school. Indeed JC does not encompass the studying factor solely because what we learn through our notes will not carry us through the rest of our lives. But it is the virtues and the attributes obtained and acquired through the rigorous and regimental education in JC that will follow us when we have graduated. Till now, I'm still proud to be a part of NJC. Proud to be!

What was hard to bear is sweet to remember

If you want something that badly, you have to practise hard and make it yours. You can't just sit down and expect the world's accolades to be conferred upon you. If you really want to win, show me that you really want to win. Finally, it is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow. What beholds your tomorrow lies in today's hard work. The question in life is not whether you get knocked down. You will. The question is, are you ready to get back up... And fight for what you believe in?

Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

Basketball girls lost by a small margin of 2 points despite the lack of players. Everyone fought well and gave their all in the match. Really proud of them. I'm proud to be an NJ basketballer. It's not the points of the match that matters but the very fact that we are playing alongside with one another and enjoying the game of basketball. Not a game where the glory goes to a single individual but a game that everyone has a piece of the puzzle in order to manifest the glory.

Basketball is my past, my present and my future.

Watch X men on labour day. It was a pretty good movie although it was considerably short. Was rather amazed by the entire effects and the story of how wolverine originated. But all good things will come to an end. (sorry for the spoiler) But Wolverine lost his memories after that. What if one day, we grow senile and forget about everything that we have been through and who we have been through together with. It's a rather frightening sad fact of life. This is why people rather remain in their teens. Just like I do. But time never seems to stop ticking.

Live life without regrets or it will come back and haunt you.
