this mystical performance occuring downstairs near my house enticed me enough to stop in my footstep to watch.malay music, bells and drums, with ppl riding on wooden horses, trainers holding whips, and charcoal smokes, with dances resembling imitation of snake and dunno what...Similar to the chinese "tiao dang" , the riders seem to be possessed by horse spirits and behave in a weird manner. Tried to google it but found no info, guess i should ask some malay fwens. anyways, quite dangerous when the riders come into onlookers and bang into some of them. Watched for awhile, then head back home.
oh yeah, b4 tat was at lunch-dinner with zicheng and zhengxiang @ westmall. sweat drenched me while i was eating, felt very hot...weird. Had coffee beans, and a little chat, b4 i took his bike home. Ha...fatty acquired a bad habit..
time to finance manage. Recent outputs is larger than input...gotta do some soulsearching, haha.

Days pass by like weeks.....only the 5th day of work and i feel the boredom. No choice....money is essential.the very 1st tkd lesson i went to since 2 years. loving it, nothing much changed, haha except new faces here and there. i wish kok and quan were there, those were the days...nostalgic.
learned something from steven neo today. he said something very true bout the market now. Managerial positions starts off low pay, but more positions are available for promotion. Engineering kicks off with a good start, but eventually youll hit the top fast and get stuck there. Top pay for engineers are also lower compared to higher positions in managerial role. Great thing i took chem eng. , my fwens all say the demand for engineers is always there and i hope they're right. Considering my future career, i guess ill take up part time business courses after i graduate, so one day, i become the first engineer that overthrow my CEO. LOl....

Nothing beats cycling from jurong to harbourfront and back in the sunday nite, eating the wonderful cheese prata on the way, with 2 dudes like rabnick and wanweh. Enjoy the catching ups by the shore, as we reminisce of the old times. The stillness of the night seem to make time stopped, but occasional gust of cold breeze by the sea and gushing waters on the rocks reminded us that time and tide wait no men."10 years later, lets meet up and cycle like we did today" will we?
We bid goodbye, proceed home, and as i did, what wanwei said was actually as good as an inspiration for me.
As i lie down and stared at the ceiling instead of falling asleep, lacking sleep for work the next day dosent seem to bother me much. As i know, ive gained something of utmost value tonight. a fwenship that rekindled like fire, thanks to the sparks. A piece of emotional satisfaction, the wonderful memories of time spent under the stars on this particular nite.
Of course...i went to work zombiefied the next day....greatful that i pass my final theory with ease....lucky my sanity still last me thru. Price to pay, haha.

2007 was a good year. Had my share of fun in my green uniform, and now im into the civilian world back again.lifes been great for 1 whole year, generally. the many ups and downs are kindda expected, but what dosen kill me made me stronger. Great new friends came along my way, eventful happenings that changed my perception in life, inspirations that kept my motivated and going.
sadly, goodbyes are common. and so i say it to my army, which memories i hold dearly of the times we spent going out in the fields, and playing back in camp. in a transitional stage, i see changes in myself as well as my friends around me. often than not, the old times seem to attract me more than now. nostalgic.
2008 is a challenging year. Leaving the NS, entering the workforce, going into the university, deciding my path in my life.....its gonna be eventful. Having a bad memory, I hope to keep this blog going, to record of the happenings this year. Publicity is not needed, my uninteresting life has no attractions and seeks no attention.
