Music That Can Cure Your Heart
For those who have not bought the latest stefanie sun ablum titled “同名專輯” I am going to introduce 2 songs to you in the album which I find it to be very catchy and entertaining to the ear. Both songs are the same, yet not the same. In case you are wondering what am I talking about..I am saying that both are songs that are about relationship yet one is sad while the other is happy go lucky type. And the title of the songs are” 祝你开心” and “我也很想他” respectively. I liked both the songs greatly but however due to laziness and perhaps ignorance I can’t provide you the “music” for your ears, only the lyrics for your eyes. Go download, buy or whatsoever.. You shall not regret..Cause I don’t tell lies “wink”祝你開心
每年就這天最特別 祝你開心 十年
雖然蠟燭是老一點 可是開心 十年
還想和你再手牽手 走過開心 十年
現在 就在燭光 臉靠臉
OH 親愛的請別驚訝 時空變換一樣愛你
祝你開心 十年
OH 親愛的請別哭泣 點燃回憶吹熄傷心
祝你開心 十年
多麼幸運彼此遇見
柴米油鹽才最可貴 呼呼
我也很想他
那时我们总有好多话 什么事都可以讲
我的爱情比你早 却一直放在心上
后来你们之间的变化 我不想再多说话
经过了相遇和挣扎 我还是无法将他放下
那是多久后的事了 有一天你突然问我
在那个时候 是否也爱着他
我也很想他 我们都一样
在他的身上 曾找到翅膀
只是那时的他 是因为你他开始飞翔
我也很想他 在某个地方
我少了尴尬 你少了肩膀
而夏天还是那么短 思念却很长
还记得 那年我们三个许下的愿望
星星骗了我们 我们却因此上了一课
成长必修的学分
我们都一样

Fight Club
Sometimes when I have nothing to do..sometimes when I am frustrated..sometimes when things goes wrong..I just need an avenue to vent off my bountiful energy that has been storing in my body for ages. Since watching Seoul Raider staring Tony Leung and his eye-catching martial arts movement and Million Dollar Baby with Hillary Swank slick hand and feet movement..I am seriously considering buying a punching bag and hanging it in my room. Before you think I am a violent-prone psycho who loves beating people up hold on please.. I am not! A punching bag to me is just another Love-Hate matter. It is just another source to expand my hyper-energy, apart from the usual stuff I do such as running and playing sports. So anyone has any lobang for a punching bag?
She may not be a A-list Star..She may not be landing big-profile role but I just like her whenever i saw her on TV..and her name is Kristy Yang

Weekly Update
Time for my weekly update again peeps..Did my SOC test this week. Attained a timing of 8 mins 51 secs. Definitely an improvement from the last SOC test I have taken during SISPEC, where I attained a timing of 9 mins 28 secs. Rite I know it is not a fast timing but hey what matter most is I improved after so many of those torturous session of SOC day after day. Thinking back, I can only say though we suffered like hell in those days, the effort did pay off. You definitely reap what you sow and the only thing I can rewarded myself after the test is only a bowl of Luo Mee.
Had a mild ankle sprain while playing sports and games during Thursday. Scored a goal from a volley while playing on the field but was driven away by those navy people. Shifted our playing field to the street soccer court where I sprained my ankle while trying to whack the ball towards goal. The ironic thing is; I whacked the ball with all my might but it was such a weak shot that the goalkeeper saved it without battling an eyelid! What the FCUK!
Some people commented that I seldom smiled now compared to the past and I look fierce without a hint of friendliness. Not to worry, I am still the same old me who is always ready to give my widest grin to anyone who is willing to accept. It’s just that as one grows older, one get tired easily by the whole loads of burden that seems to pile on you without any relief.

The Story Of Wallets
when You don't have it, you long for itwhen you have it you don't cherish it
when you lose it, you yearn for it
Someone said... "Wallets are a lot like girls. You really have to take good care of, because if you won't, something might happen"...
I know what he means. I just lost a wallet, and I just lost a girl. You know, it's the exact same thing. One day, you just realize it's gone. You try to look for it everywhere, even going back to the places where you could have lost it. You think, and you think hard, only to come upon a grim realization: it's really gone.
Of course, you can hold on to some hope. After all, there have been some very, very lucky (blessed?) people who get it back. Perhaps you could become one of those people. You sit home and you hope that someone would call, and that you would get it back. But then, some time passes, and you realize that it's still gone, and you realize that it's time to let go. The first few days, you turn to your friends for support. Some tell you you'll be ok, some tell you that it was your fault and that you should have been more careful, and some tell you about their own experiences. They give you all sorts of advice, none you haven't heard before. You then go out to find a new wallet, only to realize that you don't really want a new one. You want the old one that you lost. No, you don't want all these better-looking wallets, you want yours, because of how comfortable it is, because of all the cards and pictures and other stuff in it. You go out and carry on without a wallet, keeping your money in your pocket instead. You throw away stuff that you would have held on to if you had your old wallet. And then, finally, you find a new wallet you like and settle in. You then start filling your new wallet, little by little. It still doesn't feel as comfortable as the old one, but it's getting there.
Then you start putting in cards and pictures and other important stuff in the wallet. Soon enough, there's as much stuff in your new wallet as the old one. And then, after some time, you feel as comfortable with your new wallet. And then you realize that you've almost forgotten you ever had your old wallet. Sure, you still remember most of the stuff you lost on that wallet. But then again, you don't remember the feeling of hurt that you felt when you lost it. That's because that wallet you lost is no longer your wallet. You're no longer holding on. This new
wallet you're holding, it has all the important cards and pictures and stuff that you need. This is your wallet.
And this time, you tell yourself, you're never losing this one.

Million Dollar Baby
Just watch the Million Dollar Baby yesterday. It was a good show but the ending was a little bit draggy and the actor Clint Eastwood spoke with a deep accent which I couldn’t really understand well. The show was exciting yet thought-provoking. Sometimes when the illness was causing you so much angst, pain and you know you have zero chances of recovery perhaps; death might be the best way out. But what if the euthanasia were to be performed by the person who watches you grow along the way, who was always there for you, who will always love you? It was a tough decision to make but the actor made it. I did not watch the other Oscar nominated movie but nevertheless I must say Million Dollar Baby is a good movie.I Miss The Rain
If you all have been noticing..i usually update my blog once a week and it’s only during the weekend when I do that. And when I update my blog, I usually dump all my thoughts in my blog at 1 go. So kindly understand I am not that bo liao to have so much thoughts. I got more important thing to be concerned about. Read on.

Life Is Beautiful...
This is not written by me for i don't have the talent to do so..I found it on the website by sheer coincidence. After reading the whole thing I think I have found the answer to the many question I've been asking myself for the past few months.In short, I feel I 've been enlightened for while i attempted in my previous blog entries to explained certain things I have done but nothing beat the explanations that provide in the passage" I had to admit I AM IMPRESSED by whoever who wrote this. Thank you so much. The passage is quite long and if you have the patience and time to read this, i can promised you will not regret it ( ok if you regret I owe u a meal k? but if you are impressed you owe me 1 how about it?)Here It goes:
Sometimes, in our relentless efforts to find the person we love, we fail to recognize and appreciate the people who love us.
We miss out on so many beautiful things and simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns.
Go for the Lady deeds and not for the Lady of words for you will find rewarding happiness not with the Lady you love but the Lady who loves you more.
The best lovers are those who are capable of loving from a distance, far enough to allow the other person to grow, but never too far to feel the love deep within your being.
To let go of someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving, it only means that you allow that person to find his own happiness without expecting him to come back.
Letting go is not just setting the other person free, but it is also setting yourself free from all bitterness, hatred, and anger that keep in your heart.
Do not let the bitterness rare away your strength and weaken your faith, and never allow pain to dishearten you, but rather let you grow with wisdom in bearing it.
You may found peace in just loving someone from a distance not expecting anything in return.But be careful, for this can sustain life but can never give enough room for us to grow.
We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past but real peace and happiness come only with open acceptance of what reality is today.
There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find ourselves getting so intensely attracted to that person.This feeling soon become a part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions.
The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing more for us than just a friendship.
We start our desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for ourselves.
You don't have to forget someone you love.What you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself.
Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone more deserving.
Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well.
Always remember that if you lose someone today,it means that someone better is coming tomorrow.If you lose love that doesn't mean that you failed in love.
Cry, if you have to, but make it sure that the tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left with you.
Let go of yesterday and love will find its wayback to you.
And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime. Learn from it...words of wisdom doesn't come easy.."Life is Beautiful...

A Cock Story For The Rooster Year
My sister told me about this story which happened many many years ago.There was this national quiz competition where all the primary school in Singapore sent their smartest and brainiest students to participate. And so the competition was held live in the studio where it was telecasted for all the population in Singapore to see.
There was this little boy who was from XXX primary school who was called up from his seat to answer a question. The presenter(imagine it is Cheryl Fox) asked the young boy:” Can you answer me what is the female version of a cock?”(In this case it is another term for a rooster)
The young boy hesitated as he did not know the answer. He fumbled, grimaced, hmm and haw until he finally exclaimed:” The female version of a cock is a Charlie Brown! (Of course you know what I mean don’t you?) The whole audience and the presenter was absolutely stunned for 1 minute while the young boy, obvious to his surrounding waited impatiently to know whether he answered the question correctly. Finally the presenter returned to her sense and informed the audiences they will have a 1 minute commercial break to sort up the awkward situation.
I don’t what happened to the young boy in the end but I’m sure he is destined for great thing in future provided he didn’t end up on the wrong path.

Greeting to All!
Greeting to All!Finally the year of rooster has finally arrived! The signs look promising for the Rats in the year of rooster (will described in greater details) I hereby take this opportunity to extend my warmest greeting to all my friends.
To my parents: I wished them good health and yi shi shun li. May them stopped bickering every now be more rational and gentle to each other.
To my army friends: Good job! We managed to survive for 1 month already. 2 more months to go! Things may get tougher in futurr but at least we have each other for company.
To those who are studying cum overseas studies (you know who I am referring to): Wish everyone a smooth-sailing journey in their studies. Be disciplined. Work hard play hard! There is always a time for everything.
To those who are single: Not to worry. Haha God is fair. Your special one will come sooner or later.. Be it 1 month 1 year or 10 years! To those who have nothing to do on Valentine day, fret not. My fate is worse than yours. I’ll be spending it in camp with my crazy buddies. Have fun while the sun shines!
To those who are attached: wishing all couples happiness,zhao shen gui zi, nian nian you yu (no shot gun please) Give and take. Treasured what you have. Pride means nothing compared to companionship.
As for me, according to the horoscope, this is a good year for the Rats. May encountered tao hua yun and smooth-sailing year provided if we aren’t too arrogant and remain humble. Have to control my spending while having fun at the same time.Hope my health will improve. Sometimes I feel I am a 21 yrs old living in a 40 yrs old body with aches all over my body.
Happy and Prosperous New Year to Everyone!

My Last Book-In Trip
On my last book in, as usual I took a train from Choa Chu Kang to Tanah Merah. As I attended a function during the afternoon, I was generally feeling shagged and super sianz about the fact I am going to book in. To pass time, I listened to my mp3 player and read a book by Goh Sin Tub. But as the train travelled to around city hall area, my eyes were dropping and my mp3 was playing “An Jing” by Jay Chou只剩下钢琴陪我谈了一天 睡着的大提琴 安静的旧旧的..
我想你已表现的非常明白 我懂我也知道 你没有舍不得
At this point of time, I KO. Somehow I don’t know what happen but an image very familiar appeared right in front of me. Across the seat where I am facing seated the person whom I was trying to let go! As usual she looked very petite and pretty, just like an ice-queen whose icy stare can froze and kills a person. (Just kidding.. she wasn’t that powerful). Of course I was damn surprised and stunned to see her so I shook myself really hard. At this point of time some of you might be wondering whether it is really her. The answer is No. (So anti-climax) It is actually my mind playing a trick on me. I guessed I had a dream while I was asleep. Somehow I felt this experience is actually quite scary, not a good feeling as I would have expected.
你要我说多难堪 我根本不想分开 为什么还要我用微笑来带过
我没有这种天份 包容你也接受他 不用担心的太多 我会一直好好过
and so the song continued to play..while I continued my ride to book into camp.
OK i admitted at this point I said in my previous blog I need to let go YET right now I am wondering where is She? Haha yes as all of you can see, I am contradicting myself. Perhaps the situation has reversed. Instead of me "disppearing" from her life, it seems she has "disappeared" from my life without any hints and traces.I have an overwhelming desire to know what is she doing right now and no matter what, I do hope she is well.
SOC On Eve of Chinese New Year
On The eve of Chinese New Year, I guessed we (CDS trainee) are the ONLY unit in the whole of SAF to conduct SOC training on the eve of Chinese New Year. Wat The Fcuk@!The Old Man must be too excited Chinese New Year is approaching and he gave instructions for us to complete 3 rounds of SOC. Can you believe it? Luckily the sergeants didn’t; pushed us too much and we managed to completed the whole run. But nevertheless, I was Shagged! As always, I didn’t really give my all and “conserve some energy” and that prevented me from seeing GOD on New Year eve.

A Funny Joke
2 people died. They went to the gate of heaven.1 of them is a priest, the other is a new york cab driver. Saint Peter stopped them at the gate of heaven and asked them to introduced themselves and so both the deceased spoke about their profession.Saint Peter to Cab Driver: " What do you work as?"
Cab Driver: " I drived people around New York City."
Saint Peter begun to browse through the driver records and congrats him.
Saint Peter: " Congrats cab driver you are allow through the gate of heaven. I shall also give you a wand and a new robe with free dining vouchers!"
So off the cab driver into heaven.
Saint Peter begun to interview the priest.
Saint Peter to Priest: " What do you work as?"
Feeling honoured and proud of his profession, he reply: " I served the Lord with all my heart."
Saint Peter begun to browse through the priest records and congrats him.
Saint Peter: " Congrats priest you are allow through the gate of heaven."
The priest was astonished . He served the Lord throughout his life but whereas the cab driver were entertained with so many freebies, he has none.
Feeling cheated he asked Saint Peter:" why does the cab driver entitled to so many priviledges while I have none?"
Saint Peter replyed with a straight face : " When the driver drove his cab, his passengers prayed. When you preached, your congregation slept. Now you tell me who serve the Lord better?"
get the joke?
The Withdrawal Symptoms
As what I usually suspect, the withdrawal symptoms appeared again. I will start thinking of her, wondering how is she doing for the past 1 week, whether she is fine, alive and well..all the usual stuffs. It’s just like undergoing cold turkey..a die-hard habit which has been with you for so long. You got nothing to do and your mind start wandering before you can react in time to control the urge. For this time, I’m determined to stick to my promise though I must admit the temptation might be too much for me to resist haha..haiz what to do? If I don’t start to distance away, I guess I will never have the courage and guts to move on. Arggg I guess I need to cross the hurdles slowly step by step one by one..It definitely reminded me of the first time I did my SOC!Saturday, February 05, 2005
The Meaning of Letting Go
After 6 Months of anguish, disappointment, despairs, jealousy, short-lived happiness, frustration, uncertainty, rashness, it finally dawned on me 1 fine night when I can’t sleep in my bunk the meaning of letting go. Everyone told me to let go, everyone said forget about it everyone said go search for a new tree the forest is so damn big but I still hang on. There is always this illusion, there is always this small hope things will change, things will become better. I still don’t get it when the main performer said: The performance has end please go home.”It was during that night something jolted in my brain. Something clicked and it all makes sense finally. My understanding of Letting Go means: “yes we are friend and keep it that way and nothing else.. Full Stop Finished Kaput.” I guessed my mind was so smitten with her in the past I lost all rational to understand the true meaning of the word “Letting Go”. Somehow I still can’t get the hang of living as a single by myself but November Oscar I will not purposely look for a girl just to accompany me during weekends. That’s too selfish too much a fcuking jerk) As I look around me the majority of fellow bunkmates which are still single ( It’s is not surprising because we are serving the nation…) I figure if they don’t let the issue bother them at all, I can do the same. hey we are human also and we do talk about relationship OK. It’s a matter of putting things into perspective. I decided to stop wallowing myself in self pity and take it like man. To do that, I started with some basic steps: removing things which don’t need my attention and don’t belong to me anymore. Dump all excesses baggage out of the window instead of carrying them around with me. If Someday our paths cross, I hope you be able to remember the goods times we once shared, not the ugly and immature things I've done.
End of Story, right now I have to go find more things to dump..haha
CDS Night
Friday 4th of Feb was our CDS Night. We were put up a short series of performance to entertain the audience. One of the highlights of the show was a performance by the privates. With their guitars and harmonica, they put up and excellent and memorable performance which manage to capture the audience attention. They sang a song which they composed by themselves. It was a “Blue” not “Pop” but “Blue” as they called it. Anyway I was pretty impressed by the last piece they played “Rumba” if I did not spelt it wrongly “LIVE” Everyone was tapping their feet along when they sang it. Of course it’s no wonder they won the first prize for best performance. Congrats to them. As what is always known, Musicians are always the most popular and welcome among the group. We had a little fun though the food they provided was not exactly very nice. In the end we had to go eat supper ourselves to fill up our empty stomach.events over this week
This week is the starting on hell week. The course start of full swing let me brief you on the things I did this week ( Warning: read only if you are interested )Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday : Learning about weapons same old stuff except for the MG it is damn heavy and my hand was trembling after holding it for 1 mins.
Wednesday: Man Utd beat Arsenal 4-2 somemore it’s arsenal at home. Being a Man Utd fan I was obviously very pleased with the result though I suspected someone would be damn pissed off by it. But for some reasons or another, I decided not to gloat and “suan” that person for Man Utd victory.
Thursday: Communication stuffs etc preparation for CDS night
Friday: CDS Night
For the first time in my life as a trainee, there is SOC conducted almost everyday! Fortunately or unfortunately I only managed to attend 2 out of 4 sessions and a squadron run due to medical appt and physio treatment for my knee.
As for my knee, I am very pleased to note that I am able to run without any pain after 2 months of lay-off. It was a fantastic feeling and I definitely hope my knee will be able to withstand the tough training ahead. Somehow though, there is still this phobia of running too much because I’m very much afraid one fine day my knee would suddenly give way and that’s the end. We see how things goes till then.
The Uses Of Vugalrities
1 of my resolution for this year 2005 is to cut down on my use of vulgarities but it seems after some time there is still no improvement . Everyday without fail whether morning afternoon or night my mouth will automatically spilt out vulgarities..Whether if I am chatting, joking, laming around with my fellow bunkmates. A typical day would normally consists on Fcuking hell..Charlie Brown and many many more. It’s not that I didn’t try to cut down but it’s quite difficult to do so when people all around you, fellow trainees, instructors spew out fcuk every now and then till your ear is numb to it.Some of the primary reasons I spewed vulgarities is because it is an effective avenue to let out the frustration you encountered in your course of training. You can let it all out in your bunk cursing and swearing without causing a single cent! Another reason which I suspected is the type of image I want to portray to my fellow trainee. I don’t believe in behaving like a good boy or gentlemen in the army. Sometimes you need to act tough and mean to ensure that no one would purposely climb over your head and make things tough for you. In a way this is also a mean to protect myself. As my sergeant once said: “If you don’t take care of yourself, nobody will take care of you.” Of course I try to keep my mouth clean during the weekends but sometimes habits do die hard especially when you use it so often.
Of course my all-time favorite would be: “Don’t show me your Charlie Brown face again !”
