身边

坐在你的
身边是种满足的体验
看你看的画面,过你过的时间
天也晴了花也开了微风也沉醉
虽然你不说话,却也早已万语千言

分分秒秒显得清澈又珍贵
只有你才能给我这种感觉
不管心多疲倦,梦想还有多远
有你陪伴一切都无所谓

我要陪你擦拭每个昨天
相片日记书签,有暖意慢慢浮现
我要用默默的体贴,让你睁开双眼
看见昨夜梦想都实现

我也愿意帮你打扫房间
把身体好好锻炼,好让你觉得安全
让你记得我的优点
无论任何时间,对我非常想念
非常想念


我也愿意帮你打扫房间
把牌技好好演练,陪你母亲打八圈
为你写下盈泪诗篇,感觉就像触电
才会对我想念
非常想念


我也愿意帮你打扫房间
帮你的爸爸戒烟,帮你兄弟姐妹买早点
让你时刻觉得很炫,生活过得很休闲
对我非常想念
非常想念

learning through life's potholes

Wednesday, July 23, 2008
wow, this week's been hectic meeting people and finishing up things i'm supposed to do. last saturday Oyster had their potluck down outside clubroom, and nearly everybody turned up! it's quite heartening to see everyone settle down and talk crap, both Naga and Oyster. I suppose its' been one year already, and I'm glad Naga's my OG when I first stepped into NUS! Hahaa..can't imagine how life would have been without these buddies to tide the rough times out with me...for that i'm really grateful!

And now, Oyster's here as my group of cute freshies. Yeap, there's no comparison between Hydra and Oyster, cause it'll be comparing apples and oranges. However, Oyster's still my very first OG worth of freshies, and for that, I can only hope they stay as bonded together as Naga had throughout the entire school term!

That aside, the whole week's been spent running to badminton gatherings with JC classmates, and Hydra councillors, then off to dinner appointments with the gang down at cineleisure. Hectic, really, and I haven't really had much time for a proper breather this entire week. Had MC meeting on the night of Leo's and Felicia's birthday, so I missed out on the dinner celebrations! Rarrrh...worst of all, the MC brought DURIANS and walnut CHEESECAKE for the meeting. talk about a double-whammy on the noggin. it was all i could do to keep from gagging in the tutorial room all the way until the meeting ended! >__<

Anyways, spent the entire day out helping Oweek with the money collection at Cityhall Starbucks again. Wrote out over 100+ receipts for guys, and I swear I'd never want to see another sausage for the rest of the week. We closed shop at 5pm, which was around that time when khengsoon called me if I was interested in Chris Daughtry's concert. o__O

Okay, first things first, I've never heard a single song of his, and neither do I profess to be his fan. But hey, a free ticket's a free ticket! Too bad wenhao was still napping when we called him, else it'll be another bachelor's night out. So happened that weihui had 22 free tickets since she worked at singtel and there were spares, so she called her friends out, and their friends called their friends out, and it was one huge gang of networking to be done. Of course, antisocial me just hid one corner with khengsoon.

Okay, perhaps interacted abit with those ppl we knew. Michelle Goh and her gang of friends from arts were around, though I can't remember their names, except for one 1.73m Cheryl and a Seok Lin. Shiyao frm engin was around too, and it was probably the first time I've spoken to him properly even though "properly" wouldn't constitute shouting into each other's ear at a club/pub/concert! Nevertheless, I still think the pre-daughtry bands were way better, or at the very least, I enjoyed their songs better than his!

Finally, on a side note, i'd just want to say again that if I knew you liked him, I'd probably gotten tickets for you too..

oh well. back to Friends.

life so far...its' been good. maybe that's why i haven't been blogging much. the impetus to complain ain't around, even the label tag "emo" doesn't really stick as hard. i've gotten my hair dyed again, cut a respectable looking hairstyle, joined 6 camps so far, and things have been great going out with my fellow buddies for nearly all of these camps.

the previous month has been hectic..and probably loads of things have been changing from the recent past. interesting news coming from chewy and robin about the ex, the forging of new friendships with the freshies coming in, and the strengthening of old bonds with khengsoon, kinloong, wenhao, and all of the others from the past. life's just been cruising along, and i don't want the next obstacle to knock me down as badly as before.

life's great. maybe something did stick in after all the internship talks.

even with how new things keep on popping up, there's always something to look forward to, to pick up the paces, to chisel away at. time to keep the momentum moving..its rag and oweek from now on, before life truly ends as the 30th. it's been one helluva ride...

omg, i'm back again! :)

hahaa..just came back from tham's house. we cooked roast chicken, miso soup, and loads of other stuff for dinner! and the best thing is...it tasted REALLY good! in fact, the dinner was fantastic for the money we paid...next time i'm gonna try that out myself..=]

ANYWAYS, i just came back from CAC camp, and I really enjoyed myself out there...more than I ever imagined myself to in fact! Maybe its cause I don't need to be fulfilling key duties out at CAC, just being a councillor for the entire camp was so liberating! Spent all my time with my cutest batch of freshies who never ceased to amaze me with their craziness..and hung out with all the cool people from Engin who came down as crashies! Hahaha...let's hope this account of the camp will be more entertaining than before!

CAC Camp Day 0
This night was spent on administrative matters. Of course, it was also the night when Euro 08 Final was broadcast to the world on Starhub Preview Channel. Being trapped in school, we proceeded down to FongSeng to buy our supplies for the game *a.k.a beer and food*, had our dinner at the chinese restaurant *bloody damned mala noodles had me going till day2*, and camped overnight at engin clubroom. Tony, KS, Kenneth, Wenhao and me set up the laptops with our giant speaker ready for the game to be streamed online, but the streaming was seriously choppy, and we promptly fell asleep with my beer 3/4 unfinished. Ohwell. Time for camp!

CAC Camp Day 1
I can still remember KinLoong telling me that he managed to get the 2 girls we ticked off from our Engin Camp Open House list. Yup, those 2 that me and Yiuyan talked to and promptly descended into low morale cause they said they weren't coming. Wahahaha...by a turn of fate and sweet talking by KL, they appeared first just when we were having breakfast at Arts Canteen! Hurrah! Peifen joined us as well, but left with KS, Tony and Sara to crash someone's lecture *not to forget to help him fulfil his mission of the day* I was left in the shoes of Samuel from previous year, playing the exact same games to break the ice. Thankfully, these freshies are bred n' trained to be playing in camps...I think I learnt more games from them than they from me!!
these girls just know where to pose for the camera!hydra guys - still playing og games when blindfolded!

We ended the night with Mysterious Journey, lobbing starch down at the freshies till they became paranoid of any councillor. Notably, Xuelin n' Yuanting went hysterical once the starch came pouring down their hands; they just called out "Jiaomao/Xiongmao!!" until they found each other, and started running in circles till they reached the edge of the field. Priceless! I'm pretty sure they have homing devices linked on them or something..and it was such a chore trying to get them join back the OG when they were running like headless chickens half a field away, that I had to shepherd them back by only revealing my presence in the opposite direction so as to scare them in the right way >__< Day 2 Today was Wargames, Cluedo, SP, and Movie Night! We woke up early to move down to SRC that day..conveniently skipping lunch to style our hair and started the day camwhoring even during our no-holds-barred wargames. Quite funny to see the entire OG freeze in its tracks just to pose for a picture when all hell breaks loose around them. Rather uneventful other than the fostering of camwhoreness in Hydra, I'll add. Cluedo was when the Hydra Councillors Team 2 took over, as KS, Wenhao, and a whole bunch of us concussed from the lack of sleep. We did attempt to watch Euro, remember? Most of us retired back to the men's bunk for a game of Bang!, with George being the top frag and Peifen being the most easily fragged *seriously....5 bangs in the first turn?* Poor girl can't even last 3 rounds in the game, opting to go suicide than anything else. Leo the Renegade turned Outlaw the last second as he shot the Sheriff till he was left with 1 health, earning the MCP Award. *Most Cock Player, if you're wondering* It was then when SP was about to proceed. The entire Team 1 was mobilized for the Movie Night Station, and Team 2 promptly took over. Peifen left for rag practice, but was happily conscripted into service with Khai when she returned. Leo and Greg and Yiwei continued taking unglam videos of our freshies as we decorated our station with various effects. Oooo. The night truly began. The first half had me walking up and down the tunnel to our station in Engineering, while engaging each pair of freshies in conversation, fake-complaining about all the logistics to be carried upstairs. Quite a few managed to see through the act, but the faces of those who really thought they were going to shift some boxes...memorable! *evil laughter* YUANTING! all thanks to that you've become my favourite lovable freshie le!!! Its really self-imploding when you're suppressing laughter while trying to sound evil and scary! I'm gonna miss ya when you move out to NTU! :'( *at time of writing, something interesting is going on with regard to person we're talkin about* Day 3 Okay, day3 was relax. We went down to Bukit Timah and after that, Cineleisure for our external hunt. Unfortunately, we kind of gave up halfway and proceeded with our own OG activities - playing pool, playing Team Fortress 2, and Nintendo Wii!!! It was quite enjoyable though antisocial, but heck, who cares :P on the way back we were telling cold jokes until the main group alighted at buona vista, while I returned home to get my camera. Relaxing night, I guess; the OG spent the night away teaching everyone their mass dance, so us councillors had little to do. The nasi lemak at fongseng rocked when topped off with Asahi beer!!

-----------------Was supposed to continue and end off the recount a few days after, but now its almost a week after CAC camp, and i'm bloody tired. let's just end this and move on :P

There's a Hole in my

Sidewalk
I
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost...I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

II
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in. Its a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault. I get out immediately.

IV
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

V
I walk down another street.
