我只能不端的奔跑。我不能,也不敢停顿下来。因为一旦拍子慢下,回忆就会出现在我脑海里。I never allow a chance to idle. I exhaust myself so i don't have to toss and turn in bed when night falls. I can't stop or rest abit because if i do, i don't know where to find the strength to stand up again. 我也只不过是脆弱的人类。I'm only human afterall. 请不要怪我。

the pain gain game
Saturday, September 18, 2010

I read a story somewhere in the library while working. There was an incident where a bunch of student chefs enter a competition. This competition was hosted in such a way that the contestants have to run and grab the ingredients when the time starts.

The contestants were all very young and still learning how to work under stress. An accident happened where a knife was stabbed into one of the contestant's thigh. Her mentor chef bandaged her and sent her back into the competition even though she was in alot of pain and bleeding.

Was the mentor wrong to send her back to the game? Most would argue that he's insane and inhumane to ask her to continue.

But look at it from the mentor's point of view. How about all her hard work put into preparing for the competition. She has only got this one chance. True, some might say she is young and still has many other competitions ahead she can take part in. But one thing for sure, this competition is going to the one that she will regret forever if she chose not to go back into the kitchen. She will have a "what could have been" moment in her life.

We learn in army that pain is temporary and glory is forever. Forget about the latter, but is pain really temporary? If she choose to continue, she will risk further complications. Since she is already stab with the knife and there's gonna be a scar anyway. So whats the difference? since there is going to be a scar anyway.

The question, is the gain, if any, worth the pain?

Yesterday, went drinking and had this relevation. that im going to abstain from alcohol for quite some time. I actually ordered 2 cokes. LOL :) you know, one of those moments that you just suddenly decide on something and you know its going to work out. :) Good bye alcohol :D

2 years for the Gah-men - part 1
Wednesday, September 15, 2010


B to the M to the T

Its not about what we leave behind but what we gain ahead. Well, all mother son in singapore has to go through this shitty 2 years wearing green and enduring vulgarities. I went in with an open mind and zero expectations. I think at that time, i was like come what may, i book out in one piece can already. Turns out, my platoon is made up of nice chrisitian sergeants that doesnt believe in physical punishment. They just kept making us feel guilty. hahaah And thats where i picked up the soft skills and counselling.

Taken with the approved camera from my OC, ahem... this is the skit that bonded us all. :D I still remember the song, I found it from my brother's Mp3. We started with nothing~~~ Now we have something~~~~ we proved them all~~~ they ~~~ were ~~~ wrong~~~~

Costumes courteasy of chad and museum.. LOL.. that time still haven set up yet.

I LOVE MY JAGUAR PLATOON 4~~~!!!!

Words could not describe how touched i was when i saw them :) you see, Amy was so supportive she cut her hair like helmet. LOL


My bestie pal Khai, AKA AYU ANDRIKA! i still dunno what that means till today. LOL.. We rocked our bunk.

Most of the time, its true what you are given and you have to suck thumb. But seriously, its up to us to mould it into what we want to see :D Its about bringing the best out of everyone because everyone has a unique strength to contribute.

And we all parted ways; OCS, SISPEC, Units.

Then to SISPEC charlie where i understood what is living hell.

a memorable day
Saturday, September 11, 2010

I still recall that morning Huiyee told the clique that the world trade center had collapsed. We were all still in uniform, and all we cared about: copying homework, and O'levels. Then last year, when 3 of t.u.b. went to New York, we visited the damaged site. Construction of a beautiful memorial site was going on; water fountains, marble slabs, almost like ancient roman temple.

Some citizens feel that no one should remind and even worse, glorify the pain by spending the tax-payers money to build a huge cemetery.

Bad memories and traumatic experiences, are we suppose to completely forget them and move on, or should we appreciate the lesson learnt and build a memoral space in our hearts?

and so it goes
Wednesday, September 8, 2010










Gek Teng came up with a random thought which i find it quite meaningful:

People always say you never know what you have until you lose it, but the fact is you always know what you have, you just thought you would never lose it


These few days were spent in town clearing my head. Im so glad im not the type that goes clubbing or do harmful things to themselves to grief. Also don't see a point to show people how happy you can be. Its just silly... posting clubbing photos on facebook; what are you trying to prove? or who are you trying to prove to? Running away only to realise its that person in the mirror you are escaping from. People around you can give you the fuel but only you can drive. Its your vehicle, don't let it stay on the road for too long. LOL. I rather sip my tea, listen to jazz and contemplate life.

Borders. Ion. 313. Strip. EWF. Coffee Club. Kinokuniya. Starbucks. lotsa love, jazz, and tea.

When one door closes, go kick it open. Because even if the door is broken, at least now air can pass, and you can breathe.

the display
Monday, September 6, 2010


Sunday I was helping out at the shoe shop.

So, for no apparant reason, a number of customers tried on the display piece, liked it but when told, thats the only piece left, they rather not have it. Cuz they felt that it has already been tried on by others. The initial reply was always "huh?.... really?... and -whines-.. " There is nothing wrong with the display but most of them would try to find fault in it just because its no longer fresh in box.

I am curious about the feelings these people have after they decide to purchase the display. Do they feel lucky that at least they managed to get the last piece? Or do their sub-conscious mind keep reminding them about the shoes' age and when it hurts their feet and they put the blame on the fact that it was the display? For me, there was this pair of really cool adidas red and blue campus sneakers i found while shopping with bei, i was so happy that the last pair was my size.

There is nothing wrong with the display but its the customer's expectation of the shoe to feel brand new. Shouldn't the customer be glad that she doesn't have to deal with the rough biting feeling of a new shoe?

Oprah Winfrey said: "you can have everything but just not all at the same time" I guess she really made some sense.

梁靜茹-可惜不是你
Sunday, September 5, 2010



Amy, now we share a favourite song

Because you just have face up to it and believe in truth, truth that you will be happy

I'm glad that at least, everything, the good times and the not so good were mutual; and all was honest and real even till the very end. And thats all that matter. :)

可是我不曾後悔
在最美的時候
為你改變一切

可是我不曾後悔
在最美的時候
為你放棄一切

wisdom words
Saturday, September 4, 2010

To love and lost is better than have not loved at all.

Having a closure is important. Whether too early or not? What is meant to be will be, and whats yours will ultimately belong. But a closure moves us on to another phase of life. I realise time is needed to nuture a relationship. Time, not measured bu the number of days being in it but rather the moments spent together with one another. They do not need to be physically together but mentally. If you think of that person and the other half is thinking about you, then you are spending it together. As the saying goes, life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but the number of breaths taken away.

Love really requires alot of patience, understanding and commitment. I'm glad though not born with these virtues, i'm working on them.

gratitude entry 001
Friday, September 3, 2010

I have decided to start this gratitude entry thing to remind me of the things that made my day and be thankful for all that i have. :D

Today, my day was made at 1030.

When Amanda told me,

"HEY HEY!! You know what?! I show your facebook profile to my cousins and they say you are OO SOO CUTE!!

Her cousin are 16.

LOL.

Don't get so worked up~ Its just me

CLICK?

Have you been asked what supernatural ability you want to have when you were younger? I was once so determined that i wanted to fly. But now if you were to ask me this question again. Maybe I would wish to have control over time.

Wouldn't it be great to have control over time? You can keep your youth, keep yourself disease free and have a good quality of life. Most importantly, you wouldn't never again buy an iphone 2 months before the release of a new model. -_-

Wouldn't it be great to slow down the good times so you can savor it? Would anyone refuse to fast forward the hurtful things in our life? Having stating all the advantages of being able to 'click, do you reckon there would be cons to that?

Well, having second chances is one thing. But having a 20th chance, how would you treat that thing or issue? When you can re-take countless of driving tests, A levels, without having to wait, would you still treasure that opportunity? The fact is most of us won't. Sounds sad? Well, that's human nature for you. :)

If you don't experience pain, you won't know how to measure pleasure. People who have experienced lost, be it a family member or a dear friend would come to realise that there are rarely second chances in life. That it is impossible to 'click' back time to hug that person or just to tell her/him how much you love and miss her/him. Pain, makes us stronger and prepare us for what lies ahead.

Think deeper, would you still appreciate life if you can restart, fast forward or slow down? Put differently, would you want to live life without appreciation for it?

Do you want to click? I guess I won't want to. DUH! We are who we are because of all the ups and downs; every laugh line and every scar makes us, US! I won't trade that for anything in the world :)

MEN-YA KAIKO RAMEN

ION ORCHARD #B4-52/53

Tel: +65 6509 8150

Opening Hours --- Mon–Sun: 11am – 10pm


Okay, the above 2 pictures i coped from internet. I only had my 50mm lens this time so couldnt really take those 35mm lens type of normal pictures. But anyways, this ramen shop is new i guess since its in ION and ION is new.

I had the pork and chicken ramen. I tried both the red miso and the white miso. ITS AWESOME. I MUST MUST try the king crab ramen before i leave for aussie next year.

PORK AND CHICKEN RAMEN (RED MISO)

PORK AND CHICKEN RAMEN (WHITE MISO)
4/5 stars **** for both

Pardon for the photos this time round, i haven been shooting anything lately. Well, i really want to give full marks for this store because not only the ramen is SUPERB! but the service is DAMN GOOD. plus! theres is free flow of cold original japanese green tea!! Like from real tea leaves kind i think.

The chicken breast meat is seasoned just about right and has abit of alcohol taste which is good. The meat is tender yet not powdery, flavourful yet not too strong.

The pork is bacon-like, also perfectly seasoned, there's no wild boar smell nor is it too strong a taste. The soup could be atad too salty or strong for some people if they have red miso. Overall the soup suits my tastebuds so much i can feel them dancing when i drank it. hahahah

If you prefer something lighter, you can go for soy sauce or white miso which still has the rich flavour but not that thick. I ordered tamago and hokkaido corn as well. Total bill added up to a 40+++ for 2 persons. Well, thanks to a certain pig for the treat. :D may you win more mahjong.....hmmm...I could eat ramen forever... yummy.....

AOI
Wednesday, September 1, 2010

"Aoi", in japanese means blue, which is my favourite colour. Come to think of it, as much as I like the alternative stuffs, my favourite colour is one that spreads across the entire planet. Im feeling Aoi today but the right kind of blue, the peaceful, settling kind.

In about 5 months time, i will be embarking on this adventure. To a foreign place where the test of my independence really comes in. My family always tells me that i will miss them , treasure them more, and realise their importance when i'm there. The truth is that, despite my age, i do think i have been through enough to know that kinship, friendship, relationships are very important to me. They have made their way through above my priority of work and being successful in life. I always complain that my nephews are so noisy but when they weren't here, the silence just feels weird and i would rather my floor be full of stickers than the smell of kiwi kleen.

Its a common saying that meaningful relationships and family are important and above all, but how many people truly understand that until something is gone?

The thought of going to a new place, having meet new people, new life, new everything excites me. Then suddenly, the existing present start to creep into my heart and tell me, "hey, remember us ok? remember that we love you and we want to be part of your future; we want not because it is exciting, but because we are already part of you unknowingly."

People around me would ask like, hey! you very free hor! so much time to go out with friends. Well, i have no pressing matters on hand now and i am 'free'. But hey! when things get busy, i will still make time for you, you and especially you! because time is like a woman's cleavage, if you squeeze hard enough, there will be some. :) :) I'm just glad i took less than average time to realise how important human relations are.
