Eventful Saturday with kids & new friends with good unplugged music!
Today was spent at the gym and invigilating at a mensa testing event@smu. For your info im in the ex-co of mensa@smu. Besides doing the routine gym set (school), I had to rush back by 3 pm and get myself organized for the Kids reading class at 4 pm (Tanjong Pagar CC). Everytime when the class commences, the kids put a smile on my face. Eventhough theyre sometimes annoying. Only a few ;)
Tonight is my first time at Dempsey road, as my goodie pal, Jillo is playing with the resident band at Oosh (Kc and Noor). It was a thrill to catch up with my old gal pal and her pals. I even asked my other close gal pal down with her friends. It was a nice evening with good friends. I really like it if the night puts a smile on the audience face. It makes me happy.
I was actually having good conversations with my gal pals friends, but the weird thing was when we parted our ways; they were heading to mohd.sultan and both us, guys, were heading for supper at Henderson road, when their car pulled up besides us and my gal pal asked us how old were both of us..
I calmly replied our respective ages, and apparently they wagered on the fact that we were as young as my gal pal (presumably 23)..so I hope to get to know both of my pals friends, cos they seem really nice and open ;) Cheers to them!
In case you are wondering, I celebrated my birthday a week ago, with a family and friends gathering over at my place. It was indeed memorable as my new and old poly mates were down to make merry over the scrumptious food spread (prepared by dearest mummy and aunties), the night came to highlight when it was the singing of the bdae song, led by Joshua (cousin) on the guitar ;) whom by the way is teaching me some basic chords ;)
Though the night ended young, I will always cherish the memories and many wishes from my close pals and those far away in the states and Europe. I love you guys a lot!

Lessons from the past year and awakening in 2008
Bonjourno! Its beginning of the new year, lots of things to accomplish. Some of which will be revealed soon. Now its time to summaries the trials and tribulations of 2007; most of it was really an eye-opener especially when I spent my summer at a regional bank. Made friends and enemies haha..
My studies were alright and about the sports bit; I hadn’t improved much tactically in the past year. Had fun training sessions with the Czech and Israel coaches but still i really hope to improve within the next few years to compete in the Laos game. Wish me luck!
Other than that, I was kinda pissed with whats happening in the world; besides political elections, frequent college shootings, terrorists threats and even the GST hike, has anyone noticed that the weather in Singapore has been haphazard? I sometimes wonder what the guys at the meteorological station is doing! Im just pissed with the fact that the government is not doing anything concrete to tackle or address the issue of global warming! Of late what we know of is the recent debate and common consensus of the US and China to the Climate Change summit in Bali few months ago, I still find it hard and even agree with the General secretary of the United Nations that more needs to be done after the agreements on cutting down on emissions. But are we listening? Maybe Obama is ;)
Towards the end of the year, I ushered the new year with a good friend and a new friend from Italy. Caught the ever awesome fireworks at the Marina Bay area (together with the other 150,000) and scrumptious dim-sum at Lau Pa Sat. Thereafter we headed to Club Street later to hang out.
For 2008, im looking forward to more commitments to studying and that elusive 3.2 mark ;) Aside from that key competitions for the year include the nationals, Japan c’ships and ASEAN university games (AUG) at the end of the year. I haven’t put this in writing but I have been thinking of putting aside my community commitments with Peoples Association and my community centre this year. Time management aside I guess some people I know of do not really appreciate the time I put into the past events or initiatives. But really I couldn’t give a shit, im just glad that I made a difference and showed enthusiasm wasn’t. I remained optimistic throughout 2007 eventhough I wasn’t selected for SEA games (Korat), my coaches never gave up on me and encouraged me to pursue my dreams of becoming the best that I can be.
New year goals ahead of 2008, well I can say I gota get back to my skating. The last time i hit the ice rink was ages ago with my Indonesian pal, Robby (whose residing in New Zealand ever since O’ levels)..Waddup Rob! I just gota sharpen my blades and hit the newly completed rink at Kallang Leisure Park. Yes guys..its finally ready. See you there soon!
Sports to take up in 2008;
-Wake boarding
-Absailing certification
-Capoiera
So you see why im anticipating this year ahead, these are the main 3 sports that I was considering since 2006. Its non-time consuming and achievable, since I’m so busy. But ultimately do expect me to be glued to my tv set and laptop when the Olympics hits us all. Im supporting both team USA and Singapore. Somewhere deep down I really think we might get a medal in table tennis and sailing. Pride for the nation man!
Dreaded Monday is tomorrow, what will I be expecting? Well im starting school and looking forward to who are my classmates. From what I’ve heard the Prof. is an acclaimed individual and well liked by students. Lets hope so.
Lets end of with a quote by me..
..life is like a tabla, no matter how hard you hit it, it will make sounds that will soothe the beast in you.
