3 Months Break!

So!!!

I've got more than 3 solid months of holidays from this moment up to August...

Or more specifically, 10th August 2009.

...

And I really have to keep myself occupied.

I mean...

Really occupied.

I can't lead myself astray...

I can't let myself rot into oblivion...

So I really need to find something meaningful to do...

...

...

...

And so, here's some major things I'm going to do:

1) CIDP Week
Of course. Can't run from this one. Realistically speaking though, my 3 months break starts right after this.

...

2) The Time Machine
During a certain day on May, I will travel back in time through a time machine, back to the past, back to August 2008. I will travel back to the past to complete something that ought to be completed 10 months ago, and take back $500 some guy owes me.

...

3) Learn Something
Or at least, start learning it. Thanks to all those people who encourage me to do this. To complete it before the break is over is kinda unrealistic. Hopefully, I can finish it by the end of the year if I keep up on it consistently.

...

4) Complete my "100" and "200"
Some may know what it is, but I'll reveal it officially once I accomplish it. I should have completed this like ages ago, but I kept giving up halfway due to one reason or the other. I'm currently only like 30% there... ... But I'm sure I can complete it before the long break is over.

...

Really need to take care of myself... I look like I just rise from the grave. Even have to go see a "specialist"... think this is the most serious case in a while. It's recovering fast though, so I'm really glad.

:)

And of course, just enjoy and recharge~

Go out and catch up with old friends, play the video games that I've been dying to get my hands on, watch those dramas/movies that I'm interested to see... etc etc...

And also need to do some spring cleaning around the house, organize some of those messy things lying around, fixed some of the broken gadgets... Ha.

And... Hmm... I don't know, maybe start getting myself acquittance with 3D Studio Max again, and start modeling some huge castle? (In preparation for the next semester module)

Haha...

The first 2 affair alone would last me till "Mid June" or something... so that's just like 6 - 7 weeks left le...

I'm sure I can pull myself through this ...

Leon's Farewell

This is written as 2 separate posts combined.

25th April 2009



First, dinner at Cafe Iguana (Some Mexican Cuisine Restaurant)...

Quite a lot of in attendance, including some rare guests whom I haven't seen in ages. Some for nearly a year I think.

Wei Qi, Joo San, Charleston... Think I haven't seen them since the ORD Dinner in June 2008. And Jonathan of course... think he take the chance to come back during some long Holiday Season.

Oh, and I guess I can consider Yun Zhen a rare guest too. But then again, he just appeared to say Hi... O_o

...

Other than that, it's just the usual gang of people...

Main topic mostly resolves around a very sad case about a certain course-mate back in our "Basic Dog Handler Course" days... crazy case that shocked everyone.

I think this is the first time that someone I know get into trouble of such scale...

...

I think Wei Qi should be glad that he came to PDF with us... and not be posted to some other "ulu" place alone. Otherwise, it's hard to say where he'll be right now... LOL.

...

Anyway... basically just lots of catching up with one another on old times. I don't like the food though. These kind of exotic food just doesn't suits me. Haha.

Half of the group went home after that, while our batch guys and Leon went for a little "tour around Singapore"... hunting for some place to sit down...

O_O

Anyway, eventually went to some placed call "Grapevine"...

...

Basically just chit-chat some more, more "good-old times", and some supper before we went home...



27th April 2009

This is the actual sending off.

Once again, even more people I haven't seen for quite some time, namely Edwin & Wei Hao. Maybe SK.

O_O

...

Ha... seems like lot of my friends are leaving the country.

Unlike Dominic, it's not actually known if Leon will be coming back to Singapore...

So it's probably going to be quite a long time before we'll get too see him again.

All Da Best~



A Farewell Salute!

Even If The Whole World Abandon Me...

有一天, 我在想, 我到底, 算是个什么东西

...

还是我, 会不会, 根本就不算东西


...

This in my opinion is Mayday's best "fast song" ever...

...

And I don't know if it's a coincidence,

But it actually harness the essence of the 3 quotes I made in the previous post.

[Yeah, just look at the lyrics and you'll notice slight variations of all the quotes]

...

...

...

It doesn't matter if the coin you just tossed landed on head or tails.

It doesn't matter on if it's raining or if it's shining.

Or any other external factors.

...

Cause all of it doesn't matter.

Cause at the end of the day,

Whether you want to do something or not...

...

The decision lies with yourself.




手上有一个硬币, 反面就决定放弃, 嗝屁
但是啊在我心底, 却完完全全不想放弃
就算是整个世界把我抛弃
而至少快乐伤心我自己决定
所以我说就让他去
我知道潮落之后一定有潮起

有什么了不起

Reflections On 4 Unfortunate Events

Finally the exams are over...

I can free my mind of all the academic troubles.

...

This might not seem like an appropriate time to do an "emo" post to dampen my mood, but it's actually the best time.

Get it out of the way, and start writing about the happier things in life.

Haha.

...

...

So...

...

In the past 4 months, I'm very "lucky" to have four very unfortunate events consecutively happening in my life.

...

Yeah, so technically it's like one of the downtimes of my life.

Some of it has been resolved; Some is "just there"; Some... ... I really don't know.

It's really been 1 hell of a ride...

...

...

...

Haiz... let's do some reflections, OK?

...

At the same time, I can introduce to everyone 3 extremely good quotes I've learnt.

...



1. Moment Of Folly (一失足成千古恨)

OK Lah, 千古 is kinda exaggerated.

But this is one of the dumbest mistake I made very early this year, and I really hated myself for it.

If I was thinking more clearly, If I was more experienced... I wouldn't have commited such an elementary mistake.

So, with a click of a button and a swap, I sealed my fate for the next 3 months...

I only saw the immediate benefit and didn't think about the consequences. I thought I got myself a great bargain, but what I got was hell.

And I paid dearly for this mistake, one that last for 3 long agonizing months.

So the moral of the story is:

Look before you jump.

...

...

Luckily, through strong determination and an undying spirit, I managed to recover from this mistake, possibly with the results being better than I initially thought possible.

I tried and tried, and many times I really feel like giving up. But I guess somehow I manage to persevere through it.

It was a very bad experience, but also one that I learned a lot from.

I guess you can call it a "Painful Lesson".

You just have to keep trying, and never give up till the end.

...

And I quote,

"The only time you can't afford to fail is the last time you try." - Charles Kettering




2. A Farce (一场闹剧)

The second one came as a huge shocked to me.

Yeap.

HUGEEEEEEEEE SHOCK.

...

...

...

But it wasn't really that big of a deal.

Basically, it's a small issue, blown out of proportion by some "super idol" (aka "super idle") people.

...

...

Yep.

Looking back at it now, that is exactly what it is.

Ha.

...

...

Thankfully,

I did what I did.

Not more.

Not less.

And (hopefully have) put an end to this nonsense.

...

...

And so I quote,

"Life is 10% about what happens to you and 90% of how you deal with it." - Charles R. Swindoll




3. Like Stranger (形同陌路)

...

...

The 3rd issue is what pains me the most...

...

Yes.

It brought me more pain than almost everything I can think of in the past four months.

I've seriously lost count of how many sleepless nights, headaches, and "emo-days" it has caused me...

...

I've done so much, so much.

I offered my help whenever I can. I shared whatever I can share, and I did whatever within my capability.

...

So much time together.

So many happy moments...

...

...

But so what?

It doesn't matter.

Because... because I realized...

I realized that all of it can be obliterated.

All of it can be written off, wiped out from history, just like that.

Instantly.

Without me even knowing anything.

Without me even having a chance to react.

Without even giving me a chance to do anything at all.

...

And the reason?

...

The funny thing is, I don't even know the reason.

HAHA.

How HUMILIATING.

...

...

...

I don't feel like explaining myself.

I don't feel the need to, because I honestly haven't done anything worthy of such treatment.

Why should I act like I'm the one to blame? Or I'm the one at fault?

And I can't believe the things I've heard.

Haha.

It's like totally contradictory to what I think it is.

...

...

I cherish every single one of my friendship.

...

Every single one.

...

Every one.

But tell me.

Tell me how can I cherish one that the other party doesn't care?

How can I cherish one in which I'm totally insignificant?

How can I go on to cherish one that after giving so much, what I got in return was just plain harsh, uncaring and sarcastic treatment?

...

Everytime, I am left with a feeling of loneliness.

...

...

...

I am just 1 person. ONE PERSON.

Do you think it is easier for the world to outcast one person, or one person to outcast the world?

...

...

...

Haiz...

...

...

I'm not going to go on anymore.

I've already lost count of how many entries I've written on this thing, and every single one is just sadder than the previous.

And I'm really tired of this.

This will be the last post on this.

Cause I don't want to be tortured by this anymore.

...

...

...

If things have to turn out this way, then SO BE IT.

...

...

And my final quote,

"You can’t make anybody feel the way you’d like them to. If they do, it’s wonderful. And if they don’t, you move on." - Nicole Trager, Kyle XY
