H1N1 weeeeeek

2009-11-19T12:09:00.008+08:00

Diligently studying @ Pasccuci Cafe

Yong Jun's parent. YongJun was sleeping in the room that day. Too sick to wake up. Thank you T_T

SungChan's mom preparing food as usual! And we are watching the latest hit drama in Korea titled : I.R.I.S I think it will soon be in Singapore.

Adorable 14yr old SungChan. Treated him to ColdStone Icecream. We watched 2012 that day. It was awesome! He very respectful siol, first time see him he bowed 90degree to say hi and take everything from me with 2 hands and always saying thank you and sorrys. Most respectful kid i ever seen so far. hahahhaah

Last week has been a great week yet a bad week.
How should I put it? If you guys have read my facebook short msges you might know what I am talking about.

Last week was a fresh week. I stayed with a korea teen's family and I would say this family is really warmth to be with... Not that the rest is not, but because in this home I kinda spent more time together as a family. First night, I was grateful that I could talk to the father about army issues and comparing the armies between the 2 nations. That talk made me realised that Singapore's army is pale in comparison to what I am going to go through on the 12 Dec 2009.

SungChan(teen)'s mom taught me Korean dishes! hahah! It was so fun to learn from her. I could see that she's very excited about teaching me all that she knows! At the end of the day, I learned 6 dishes from her. hahaha!

I got to stay at SungChan's house most of the time because his sister SungAh got H1N1. I spent 4 days with her in the house but I am still very alive. I didnt feel like moving out because I thought it's not really considerate to move around when I am in contact with the infected but a TeenWorker got me out of the house and moved to another teen's house.

Last Sat night I moved and immediately the next morning on Sunday YongJun(teen) got a fever at 39degrees and vomited. Those were obvious symptoms of H1N1. I knew it was H1N1 and I just felt really bad. I thought to myself if I could be the one infecting him. I might not be sicked but I could still be carrying the virus though. Anyway, I just felt really sorry for his parents. They knew my situation at SungChan's house and yet welcomed me with great warmth. The first thing I said was my concern about my situation when I arrived at their house but they were so cool about it. But when I saw what happened on Sunday, I felt seriously indescribable. They told me that he might have caught the virus when he went out on Sat afternoon. but still.......... T_T

Well, what most amazing is that after spending 5 days with 2 H1N1 infected people, im still alive. haha

Anyway, I moved out again to stay with a single brother who stays by himself in a one room house. Really its just 1 room and its a house. He goes to work like 730 in the mornin and comes back only at night around 9. So I had been spending time with Campus brothers and sister, studying most of the time haha. I teach english and they will teach me korean in return. Great awesome time!

康湾岛之旅

2009-11-09T11:55:00.004+08:00

大家还好吧？
虽然这部落格似乎没什么人来，
但是也只有这里能让我摊开我的心声呀。

自从从釜山回来之后，我就在首尔逗留了几天
然后昨天去了康湾岛 2天。
起初是要去看雪的但是那天天空不做美，没下雪。
没有雪也没关系，我们往东上去了东海想看日出，
心里非常的兴奋与期待到三井半夜也睡不着。

带着兴奋的心情起床只见窗外乌云密布，
哗啦哗啦的下这雨太阳公公也这样的被模糊得云雾给遮盖了起来。

这是一些照片，其他的在我的facebook能看得到。

Approaching November

2009-11-03T23:55:00.009+08:00

Taehyun

This guy is Aunty Jin's nephew. looks like tingyu!

Finally am back from the little travel within South Korea.
It was really tiring after the trip. Moving around and taking long bus trips.
These 2 days have been resting around and just walked around window shopping.
Gotta start spending time with some brothers soon. Otherwise, it's just gonna be too bored!
These 2 days the whether has been really bad too. After the rain, the tempreture dropped to about -5 with the wind chill. It really freeze the hell outta me.

By the way, just some medical updates. Korea has been hit by the 2nd wave of influenza again. As far as I know, some 35 people has been infected with such virus. A teen from the Seoul Church unfortunately caught the virus and is now quarantined at home. Please pray for his speedy recovery please. Thanks. I think I gonna buy some mask soon too. I think to date, Singapore is still not much affected. Maybe after my return, I will smuggle the virus in too. hahahaha!

Nowadays, I have been wanting to spend time with the teens in Korea but they seem to be really busy with their school schedule. Everday they finish at about 3-4 and starts tuition to about 6 and have dinner and goes to the tuition center again till 10pm. How am I gonna make time in such a situation! Its really mad!! The hours they study is really scary. If you think you're studying too much, I tell you, please think twice. haha.

Alright, so much for now. If you have anything you would like to know, drop me a message. I will source it out for you! =D Till later, Bye~

韩国第４天 Korea Day 4

2009-10-21T23:12:00.003+08:00

大家好！又回来了！
今天温度一样的又下跌到１０度了。开始有点害怕了，不知道１１月是否会太冷了。
看怎么样办吧～
Hello! I am back!
As usual, the temperature is dropping like mad! It's 10 in the afternoon today.
I am not too sure if I wont turn iceberg by November. Feeling a little petrified here and there. It feels like the cold is penetrating into my jacket like little mini monsters trying to pry into the under layer of the jacket, tearing it apart just to reach my skin!

今天是我休息的一天，准备明天到南恰岛的郊外日！　
一大清早就有饺子做早餐，下午又有排骨烤鸭的ＢＢＱ　然后晚餐又牛肉汤。
我朋友的爸妈对我也真是太好了，简直像王的被伺候耶。太害羞了啦　真的感到很过于不去耶。我那小小包的肉干好像换不回这样好的对待。　妈啊～怎么办～
Today is a little rest day for me to prepare for tomorrow's road trip to Nami Island.
Early in the morning I had fried dumplings, BBQ ribs and roasted duck for lunch, and beef soup for dinner. Isn't it just too luxurious and sumptuous considering the fact that I even worried for my meals while prepare for this trip. It kinda turn out way better than I expected! Fred's parents is really showing too much hospitality to me! I am treated like a King, or rather, more like a king's life. I really feel bad for exchanging just a little bagua for this. MOM! HOW~~~

明天又要到那个岛去，一定花费不少。他们又没要我交费，真的是不行耶。　
Again, tomorrow I am gonna go to that island and I am definitely sure that it will also cost quite a bit even though it's only for a day. This really has to stop!

韩国的３天 Day 3 in Korea

2009-10-20T21:46:00.005+08:00

我知道我知道！要加点图片对不对？
我收到很多人的恢复关于这个问题。哈哈
但是我还是找不到card reader呀。
没有他的话，我无法把照片存入我的电脑啊。
会啦很快的。等等好吗？^^ 哌谢啦。
I know, I know! Pictures right?
I was told by many people to upload pictures.
But, I cant find the card read in Korea.
I can't upload the pictures without the card reader.
Well, I will try to do it asap.

好了，说说我今天做些什么吧~
但是首先我要说今天温度又下降了！13度也太冷了吧~ 呼呼！
今早11点就出门了。但是一出就逛到旁晚8点。
两只脚都走到要断了~.~
OKAY! Let's see where I went today.
Before that let me tell you the temperature for today.
The temperature has been decreasing even more. It's now 13degrees celsius!
Went out at 11 this morning and only came back at 8.
Almost broke my leg walking so much today. T_T

今天去了不少地方。到城市里兜了一下
去了南大门，东大门，cityhall, 等等。。。
逛了他们的市场，买了2条棉的长裤。
一件才5块。可以买啦。除了裤就没买什么了。
Went quite a lot of place today. Toured their town man!
Went to DongDaeMun, NamDaeMun, Cityhall, Insadong and etc.
Shopped at their night market and bought 2 track pants. haha
It's really cheap! Definitely worth the buy. 1 pair of track pants is only 5 dollars!
Other than that, I didn't get anything much though.

(这是我的晚餐）是一种糕用饭做成的。像新加坡的“饭糕”。
(This is my dinner) It's a rice cake similar to the one in Singapore that is pink in color. Just that the korean one doesnt have the rice in the inside. It's just sticks of chewy rice cakes.

哦，对了后天我会到南恰岛去。我朋友的父母会带我一同去住宿1晚。到那里，可以牌照啊和烧烤聊天。和家人酗酒享受在一起的温暖。
裴永俊在《天国的阶梯》其中的一个有名拍摄地点。
好啦就这样！！掰掰！
Oh, the following day I am gonna go Nami Island
Fred's parent is gonna bring me along for 1 night.
We can take lotsa pretty awesome pictures and BBQ!
Btw, that's also Bae Yong Jun's famous drama scene in Stairway to Heaven.
That's all for today! Cya!

在韩国的第2天 Korea 2nd day!

2009-10-19T23:08:00.003+08:00

今天到韩国的第2 天了。昨天太累了不小心就睡着了。
Today is the 2nd day in Korea. I was too tired and dozed off! haha

终于看到了！
街上一排排的树下着秋天的落叶，
真是罡！五颜六色的落叶真的是让我赞叹不已。
这就是秋天的美呀！
At last, I'm here to see it before my own eyes!
The rows of trees on the street with falling autumn leaves.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Is the word to express how beautiful it is. You got to see it yourself to understand how it truly feels! I could only stare in awe with my jaws dropped.
Autumn is really beautiful.

这里的天气也非常的干爽比起新加坡的天气真的是“不爽”。
但照我的观察看来啊，这里的温度好像在渐渐的往下掉哦。
现在晚上，不说室外的温度，家里就已经有大概摄氏23度左右。
室外的温度则是13度耶！但是下午的时候会升一点点啦哈哈。
The weather here is really dry and cool. Pale in comparison with the weather in Singapore.
Well, according to my observation, I believe the temperature will continue to decrease in no time. In the night, let alone the temperature outside, it about 23 degrees Celsius thereabout.
And the temperature outside is really as chilly as 13 degrees Celsius! But, in the afternoon, it's a little warmer though.

这几天都跟着朋友的父母到处去玩到都忘了拍些照给你们看看。
今天到了公共澡堂里，虽然不是我的第一次但是比起当初在台湾的还是有点不同。
男女个别有一个澡堂，里面有温泉之类的设备。那如果你泡好澡，
男女们都可以通到一个公用的另一个地方。在那里男女们都可再度碰面一起去吃，休息，用电脑，看电影，看电视，热气房(有盐），冰房等等。这些都是这澡堂的设备。
他们的房间有不同的温度，任你喜欢的调选。对身体的血液循环有益哦！
享受完后再回澡堂冲个凉就可以回家啦！
These few days, I have been following my friend's parent around the town and hardly got to take any pictures to show you guys. Sorry!
Today, I went to the public bath. Although it not my first time, but as compared to the one in Taiwan, it's a little different though. In terms of the facility because the one in Taiwan is a Hot Spring while as the one in Korea is slightly different. The one in Korea is call the "jjim ji bang" which mean "hot room". In there, you go in and change into nothing(naked) and go for your bath, jaccuzi or steam bath or whatever you want.(boy and girl separated). Then after that, you can proceed to this common area where you can meet the girls/boys and go get something to it, watch some movies, TV and the different rooms they provided with diverse temperature ranging from below 0 degrees to as high as 90+ degrees. It is good for health! You can spend your time in there reading comic or just chit-chat. Well, there are also space at room temperature where anyone can just lay there and watch tv or do whatever you want. After you have done with everything, you can go back to the public bath, wash up and go home! haha

明天我试着增添一些照片吧！
I will try to add some pictures tml after I buy a card reader.
p/s: the camera owner lent me her camera but forgot about the cable. haha

多5天！5 MORE DAYS!

2009-10-17T00:55:00.001+08:00

今天啊是倒数到韩国的最后5天。(这是几天前写的）
不知怎么的心情感到有点担心耶
因为我正在筹备到韩国的计划！
我在韩国总数的时间是四十五天
四十五天的时间算长吗？
但是目前我身上的钱好像有点欠缺的样子
不知道到底会不会不够钱生活。
心情有点担心却又兴奋。
到韩国的时候啊，我有好多好多的东西想尝试。
秋天的空气会是怎样的呢？
枯萎的树和草又是什么颜色的。
温度会冷得我鸡皮疙瘩吗？
我真的好忙哦！什么都好像都还没准备齐全！
哦，对了。在那四十五天的旅程里
我每天都会记载每一天的行程和增添美丽的照片！
拭目以待哦！

Today is the 5th day before my departure to Korea.（Iwrote this a few days ago)
Just kinda felt a little more worried after
I start on my itinerary for the trip.
In total, I will be staying in Korea for 45 days.
Is that considered a long trip?
I seem to have a shortage in my funds!
I wonder if I'd starve towards the end of my trip...
Well, it's a little of mixed feelings here and there.
Fear that I might starve yet excited about the things I am gonna experience.
There are sure things I must try when I touch down in Korea.
It just got me so excited with the thought of it.
How's the autumn breeze!
How autumn trees and leaves look like when they fall?
Will it be that unbearably cold?!
I should get going, it seems like everything is still not well-prepared.
Right! In these 45 days, I will be writing in entries about my journey!
Exciting pictures will also be added!
Stay tuned!

多5天！5 MORE DAYS!

im just feeling like i have so much to say, yet have none to be put into words. i get this feeling that im shoved aside, cornered right up against the wall, yet i feel so carefree.

i wonder why.

!苦

2008-08-04T20:56:00.002+08:00

当你看这篇网记时，日期应该与这篇网记已有了一段时间了吧。
这网记空荡荡的，几乎能感觉到一阵冷风往脸上打过来的感觉。
都没人，连鬼的影子都没有耶。真够瞎的。今天就来更新一下下吧。

在这几个月以来。
酸的事也够酸的啦，
苦的也苦得超可怜，
辣的闷得我快闷死，
甜的呢？一点都不甜。连半只蚂蚁都没有吧。

超无趣的。

这几个月以来的过事算多不多算少也不少。
但是终究苦口难言耶。
心底闷着好多好多的话想说却说不出口。
虽然脑袋里银幕似乎象在戏院般的播放，
但脑里的一幕一句都无法带笔的写下来。

感触良多的耶。

来来，我给你一个情景然后你想想。也许就能了解我的心情。

想象哦，你有个好朋友。一直都很要好噢。
其实，表面上大家都被骗了。以为他们很要好。
事实上，他们常常都因为一些事情很有自己的看法，
所以都闹不合。事情总是要有个包容与牵就吧。
那，你常常就是那个人。因为你很疼他。毕竟他也比你小，所以就委屈了。但是你都无所谓。
相处了很长的时间了。你自己以为这段友情因该达到了一个领域。
常常为了友情牺牲了不少时间和力气。待他都非常的好。就像待你清兄妹还清。
但是这朋友好像有点不知道有人对他好的感觉耶。很苦吧。
当问他觉得这友情是否有什么看法时，他都说不只道。似乎是第一次见面的感觉。
再问是否你是算他的好朋友之一时，他却想也不想的说好朋友要像“默默人“ 才是。
你心里一定感到很凉吧。奇怪的是，有时他却对你诉苦，有知己的感觉。
矛盾不堪吧。

以上都是自创的文章啦。
你们都被骗了！
不说了。掰。哈哈！

Prolly out in May.

The King's Dishes

2008-03-24T12:50:00.002+08:00

Korean dishes...
Below are pictures of some famous and pricey Korean cuisine.

#1: Olive
#2: Rice stuffed in pig's intestine and blood
#3: Chinese known as "san cheng rou" (三层肉-pork meat）
#4: RAW STING-RAY~~~~~

Well, the only one that tasted the most alien to my taste bud is definitely the raw sting-ray.
It doesnt taste at all like those you found in East Coast Park Hawker Centers that is grilled with a spread of sambal chille. Not only it's raw, the bone omits a peculiar taste of spiciness and ammonia choking sensation.

If you like Sashimi, you should take up this challenge and eat this...!!

你懂吗？

2008-03-22T16:27:00.002+08:00

人啊。。。

有误会也许是了解得不够；

有冲突也许是太坚持自己的意见。。。

用多听就可以化解误会；

那少说就可以避免冲突啦。。。

将心比心是一定要的啦。

A day with Kids...

2008-03-18T12:44:00.009+08:00

I was at IDA in Suntec City with the kids in a Children Workshop. Some kid are really mischievous and hyper-active. Some anti-social ones and of course he normal ones. Honestly, it was a fatiguing day. But looking at the smiles on their face at the end of the day, made it all worthwhile.

The first 5 pictures are members of my group.

我要快乐
就算受到伤害
也把它当作是微笑里的暗伤
无意间
点起一首自己最喜欢的歌曲
享受里面寂寞的味道
可是真正的味道却淡了
清清的旋律照亮着整个黑暗
喝下一小口酒
一丝丝的苦涩萦绕在心田
刺激着喉咙和味蕾
感到开始醉了
但却是那样的真实和从未有过的清醒
回忆的碎片像幻灯片
一张又一张
及其规律的重复
曾经的一幕幕在脑海回荡
现在又重演在眼前
让人分不清现实和虚幻
无所谓他们怎么说
就是坏孩子又怎样
管那么干嘛
只因为我们都是孤独寂寞的孩子
一本正经的孤独
只是里幸福有那么一公尺的距离这样而已
不远也不近
但足以阻隔一切
感觉时间在恍恍惚惚之间停滞不前
似乎进行着某种哀悼
是哀悼青春还是过去的曾经
思绪的碎片从此刻
慢慢开始完整成型
夏天的阳光是如此热烈
强烈的让人觉得晃眼
照射在翠绿的树叶上
树影斑驳了一地
颓废的歌
小小的梦
依旧执着的生命
手中的力量依然不曾消失
继续蔓延在掌心
我要快乐
哪怕是一个人我也要快乐的独舞
疯狂的乱舞
此时彼刻
然
仅此而已

IVAN VS JASON

2008-03-12T22:47:00.003+08:00

Hey! To our very supportive audiences who tunes in every day at home, this week in this episode of "The Survival Of The Fittest", we are bringing you 2 very renowned bowlers in town whom showed worthy and passed the gruelings rounds from the competition!!! Let's put our hands together to welcome "Ivan" and "Jason".

Without further delay, let's watch this fierce battle as it unveils... "TIC-TOC.. TIC-TOC..."

Well of course, at the end of the day, I won!!!!!

P/S: For the pass weeks, I've been looking for jobs but to zilch anyway. But been working sparsely though.

wooo wooo....

2008-03-03T00:33:00.003+08:00

Today was supposed to go support Anne for her Orchestra performance at 3 in Esplanade and Tracy for her dancing competition at 4 in Vivocity. But, in the end, I bombed both.

I was @ somewhere really faraway from both destination. Couldn't get back in time.

Well, at 8, I was supposed to have dinner with Jason at Hougang Mall but GimSiong called to offer us a ride to somewhere else to have prata together with WenMing, ChenLong and CheeHeng. Well, I'm really glad to say that I'm still intact. LOL.

After that, we went to this indoor fishing place to catch prawns.
After 1 whole hour, only 6 prawns were caught. But well, for first timers I think it's pretty much commendable. Had a whole lot of fun...

At about 12AM, Gim Siong drove us back to where we should go...

HIGHLIGHT:

My friends are finally old enough to drive me around.

NEW STAGE NAME!

2008-02-21T03:04:00.002+08:00

Got a character name for myself this afternoon with the koreans.
I was suppose to give them chinese tuition. But in the end... LOL

Well.. Wanted to change because "Lee Yi Won" in korean is " YI YI WON", which sounds really weird..... So decided to change...

Came up with a couple of names...

Lee Dong Wook
Lee Su Min
Lee Seung Jae
Lee Sin Dong
Lee ............

After further discussion... We came up with

Lee Dong Min
Lee Dong Jae ....

But everyone said that Lee Dong-Min sounds better.. soooo....

TADA! Lee Dong-Min =))

P/S: Actually while choosing this name, secretly, a hidden meaning is within it.....

Life's tough...

2008-02-18T20:43:00.002+08:00

"VILE poison from the depth of hell,
Belched forth from Satan's realm;
Most blasting curse that e'er befell
To mortal's earthly realm.

Sweet rosy youth with prospects bright,
With naught of fault to dread,
Have felt the hiss of Slander's tongue,
And down to ruin led.

Dark shades of sadness o'er them bring,
And dooms them to dismay;
Bright hopes and prospects from them wing
Their flight within a day.

Cursed the subtle, wiry fiend,
Whose prattling tongue destroys
The life, the happiness of one,
And all his friends annoys. "

__James A. DeMoss

~~Why am I the one?~~

Last day of school! YEY!

2008-02-17T01:42:00.006+08:00

Alas... This semester has come a an end...
Finally get to enjoy an almost 2 months worth of holiday...
As you have guessed, school isn't really something I'm pretty excited about...

But I am glad that the last day of school was quite an enjoyable one.
Though it's a full day with 1 nerve-wreaking studio production test and 1 loathsome group assignment. The pictures would have given it away... haha...

Featuring: Tracy, Ivan, Kelvin and Charmaine (based on the first picture. And also Auntie Jin on the following picture.) Also, my sister and me on the last picture.

Wow!~

JUMPER & THE 73 TAXIS

2008-02-15T02:29:00.006+08:00

Spent Valentine's Day watching "Jumper" with a few of my secondary school friends and church friends...
Basically, it's only a story about these "Jumpers" aka "Teleportors" trying to avoid a group of officers who kills Jumpers- the Paladins.

If you're the kind of person who loves strong meaningful storyline, forget about it. But for those who loves special effects, enjoy the show. Though the movie only lasted for 88mins, the graphics and special effects were really awesome! It leaves me feeling like teleporting home after the movie...

It's been hours after the movie. Took the HanBok(Korean Traditional Costume) from Jinsan's house at 10.30pm and left at 1.30am.

The amazing thing is that Tingyu and me decided to walk home. About 5 bus-stops distant. We wanted to spend time talking as we trod at a leisurely pace. Then..........

Silly us, we decided to count the taxis that pass by us and those that were within our reach to hire.

count....

count....

count....

Finally, we reached home and TADA!

WE MISSED A TOTAL OF 73 TAXIS.....

Happy Valentine's Day

"直到认识你之后

生活有了很多的不同

无论是开心的

生气的

喜欢的

难过的

我都珍惜

如果没有认识你的我

会是什么样子呢？

那似乎有着九十亿种的可能

我不知道－也猜不到

唯一有把握的是

我一定没有现在快乐

你⋯⋯让我完美”。

换个角度想想⋯⋯

也许你会看到一个一想不到的快乐。

"THIS IS THE PICTURE OF THE HALF MELTED BOWL"

Here, my parents are rattling on and on again...
But, this is also one of the few times that I felt stupid about myself too...

In the afternoon, I was steaming some BAOs using the rice cooker. And you know, becasue when the water in the pot boils, you can't just put your BAOs into the pot or just put it on the plate. So, stupidly, I used a smaller plastic bowl to lift up the plate and it melted halfway...

Amazingly, even after seeing the bowl half-melted, I still picked up the BAOs and started munching on it without thinking that the vapors actually still exist and might be contaminated...

Gosh..... I'M PLASTIC!

THE MEMORABLE PAST~

2008-02-12T19:53:00.001+08:00

It was just an ordinary afternoon break from the hectic schedule but randomly decided to flip through old albums so as to remind myself not to be too focus on what's coming but always be grateful to the people or even what had happened in the past whom/which helped me pass through those rough patches.

First up, to my parents...
Aren't they looking gorgeous there?
Can't remember my dad was that lean after looking at his big belly for 20 years.
To think that my mom is so loud and naggy now, this picture is a total LIE. haha

My mom is the one at the most right...
Look at her stylo hair and pose. LOL
Nice figure, mom.... MUAHAHAHA

Ah, this is one of my cousin whom I played with a lot since I was born.
He is like a big brother to me and would share his things with me.
But I dont know since when, we kinda lost contact and estranged.
Even when I go over his house on Chinese New Year, we seem as if we didnt know each other.

My primary 5 class photo. The very class that I treasure and enjoyed being with the most.
The last row, very unfortunately, was drenched by some liquid and became like this.
My best friend is the guy down at the last row counting 3rd from the right and i'm on the 5th.

Oh, and that's also about the time when I shift to Sengkang~

My Little Prince Charming with a bow tie... HAHA! ^^

해인 생일 축하 해 - Rachel Happy Birthday!

2008-02-12T01:57:00.000+08:00

HHAHA! This is me in a HanBok.
Taken yesterday... Just for fun...

Today, we celebrated both Haein and Rachel's birthday...
One turning 15 and another 16...
Happy that they grew a year older healthy and hope the best for their future endeavors.

It was really a great feast today.
A table spread with full of Korean food!
Thanks to the Korean mothers, we had our stomach satisfied for the day.

잘 먹에십니다...........

잘먹었습니다...............

2008-02-07T12:20:00.000+08:00

Don't you think this song you're hearing is just so nice?
Maybe only for boys. haha..
Here's the lyrics...

어찌합니까 어떻게할까요
감히제가 감히그녀를 사랑합니다
조용히 나조차 나조차도 모르게
잊은척 산다는건 살아도 죽은겁니다
세상의 비난도 미쳐보일 모습도 모두다 알지만
그게 두렵지만 사랑합니다
반복)어디에 있나요 제 얘기 정말 들리시나요
그럼 피흘리는 가엾은 제 사랑은 알고 계시나요
용서해주세요 벌하신다면 저 받을게요
허나 그녀만은 제게 그녀하나만 허락해주소서

wanted to romanized it. but, lazy..... haha

TROD THROUGH AN ADVENTUROUS STREET OF WOMEN~
GEYLANG STREET!!

My heart were really thumping hard while walking through these prostitutes. Just so scared that they might offer themselves. Didn't really dare to look right into their eyes but did glance through a few times. Honestly, some are hideous because they are old, but those who are younger, looks really pretty though.

Wanted to take more pictures but kinda felt sorry for them...
But below is a little video of them and 2 dogs. haha.

LASTLY MUSTAFA~ LOOK AT YOUR TIDINESS~ haha
Mustafa is just like any shopping malls that you see around you. But, are all managed by Indians. However, that aside, I think it's still okay to take a walk in there.

itinerary post

2008-01-27T21:59:00.000+08:00

Throughout the 100 over entries I have posted, I guess this must be my very first itinerary post. ^^ It is not really a bad thing to post what you do the whole day. But you know, when it comes to times when everyday is just some same routine work(like going to school), it gets kinda boring and eventually the blog dies. That was what happened to a few of my previous blogs over the past 5 years. For me, I just pick some stuff that caught my attention or even just the mood of the day.

Hands itchy, lemme post an itinerary post! haha^^

It was definitely another beautiful Sunday. Feeling all excited again to see the people in church. I'd never feel so excited from mondays - fridays.

Woke up at about 8am and saw a msg from Jin San saying that we're not meeting at Katib anymore. Kinda disappointed though. 1st, I Jin San's friend is not coming and 2nd, I couldn't meet David Jang. But the day before, I was getting all prepped up for my assignment, I slept late and did not wake up till about 945. I was late for church.

I felt kinda sorry that I didn't give David Jang morning calls. My bad... So hurriedly, I rushed down to church finding no seats to sit and in the end sat all by myself on the Mezzanine level @ about 1030. Really elated to see Yanti get baptized though. =))

After the service, headed down to Compasspoint then to Clarke Quay for lunch @ subway with Fiona, Elijah, Jinsan, Sangwoon, Tingyu, Aravin, Sonia, Erica, Ariel, Addis, Manfred, Kendou, Clarence and Siwen. It just so fulfilling to munch down subway bread. =)) Jinsan and I shared a foot-long Hearty Italian bread with Cold Cut Trio... DELECTABLE is the only word.... =D~~~~

Walk around Clarke Quay and went down to Takashimaya to buy Ken's Rubik Cube. SangWoon was so amazed by our love for each other. HAHA! He asked me if we just came over to accompany ken buy his RUBIK CUBE. He was like WHAO~ =D

After that, the mission of the day was completed. Got a place at burger king and slacked 3 till about 6 plus and headed home. Though it was tiring but being around with them was just great.

过去的往事只能回味

2008-01-24T04:24:00.000+08:00

恩。

你最近还好吗？有没有按时吃药？
头痛还常常发作吗？
或者是。。。你想起我了吗？

我知道我在问傻话。写着封信的同时，
我知道它是永远到不了你的手中的。

这几个月以来，
我每天偷偷的到课室外和你家徘徊。
只是希望能在我惭愧的情绪中，
能够不小心让我见到你一面。
我好像在做傻事，不是吗？

如果你还是以前的你，肯定要笑我像个小偷，
让后打我的头骂我是个大笨蛋了。

人啊！真是个习惯的动物，
从一开始的焦急、自责到后来知道你安然无恙，
我开始煎熬在见不到你的痛苦思念中－等待，
成了我生命中最重要的一件事。

等待，等著像你那么熟悉的面孔出现在我面前。
而如今，这几个月都过去了。
我竟然已经习惯了这种等待你的感觉。

我好害怕。
习惯了等待。是不是代表着终究要失去一切呢？

还记得你下课后，正在回家的路途中，
绊倒了, 我在也忍不住。
趁着你不留意的短暂空挡，
靠进看你。

坚强的你，连受伤的表情有如孩童一般的单纯。
而你望着我的眼神，却是如此的陌生和不解。
恐惧就像一头疯狂的野兽将我吞没。

你已经不再记得我了。
你疑惑的目光宣判了我的死刑。
你在惩罚我。一个人懦搦的退出了战场。
导致你遭受如此巨大的痛苦。

我好恨我自己，为什么要那么冲动。
如果没有那场意外，
现在的你，是不是依然每天背着书包，
打电话叫我别赖床然后等我一起去上课？

是我。
是我清手毁了我们幸福的未来。
我辜负了你的期待，所以，
老天爷要把你对我的爱统统收回去。

我们这一段不被祝福的爱情，竟然在如此模糊的情况下存在了几年。
却又在还来不及轰轰烈烈之前就结束了。

无论如何，我还是非常感谢
老天爷并没有就此夺走你。
你知道的，我愿意用我所有的一切来换取你的原谅，包括我们的爱情。
我相信，你也会为了我这么做。

多年以来，我们就是用这种方式默默看着对方，
不是吗？

恩，再见了。或许你将一辈子不再有我在你生命中，
但愿你的爱能像一张奉羽的翅膀，
戴着你展翅飞翔，在午夜梦徊飞到我身边。

元

P/S: 愿天下每个人，都能找到属于自己的羽毛，
乘着它，自由自在的飞翔。

Can anyone who sees this please answer it?

2008-01-23T01:19:00.000+08:00

URGENT!!!!

Email/MSN- Justme.zatt@gmail.com

Question:

Would you date someone who is not of your own culture? Why not? What things do you feel are difficult to overcome?

frigging busy like mad!

2008-01-23T00:42:00.000+08:00

3 more weeks to mark the end of semester.
Everyone must be pulling off their hair by the outrages amount of school work.

I am almost bald.

Believe me, it's always so frigging busy and stressful every semester's end. Everyone must be on their verge of self destruction. But guys, hang on there =D

To my classmates:
3 more weeks to go guys!!! FIGHT TO THE END! (but don't fight for the editing suite okay? ^^)

1 Group LIVE on AIR Radio, (next week)
1 individual LIVE on AIR Radio, (3rd week)
1 Cross cultural Communication project, (next week)
1 TV Studio Recording, (2nd week)
1 Green screen editing, (3rd week)
1 Broadcast performance News reading skills test! (2nd week)

After this, we're done!!

To Tingyu and Shawn,

Hey buddy, hang on there kay! Though I can't really share your burden, but I'll always be a phone call away. =D continue to pray and rely on Him for, you know what my favorite verse is! haha. After that, we can spend time and maybe we can get our little kakis to join us too.

Tingyu and SangWoon, Shawn and Elliot, David and Me.
We can bring them out someday to a movie or buffet. =D

But before all these, let's fight on.

To others whom I have not mentioned, don't worry, you're not forsaken.

Those who are working, studying in secondary, prepping up for Os/Ns, or anyother things.
Don't give up! Be determined to finish off what's given to you. Then, you'll see the beauty after all the works are done.

But I hope everyone can give your best in whatever you do, as much as possible. Not just hope alone... give it some expectations to strive for better too. Well, I guess there is not point in worrying too much anyway. You won't get to add any hour to your due time by just worrying more. You will just get streaks of white hair instead. So... give it your best shot and be on track with your plans. I bet everything will be just fine. =D

Character correction

2008-01-20T22:56:00.000+08:00

Can't help it but got to be a little discouraging to myself again. Perhaps this indirectly might act as some motivation to me too. But I am gonna put myself down again... I'd use to feel really upset about things I cant accomplish but nowadays it doesn't affect me as much I guess. Almost numbed. It's the matter of time. I got to face it sooner or later to the fact that I can't do it. haha.

No point being overly depressed about it, isn't it?

However, my view today will be a little different than usual.
Right now, I am sitting just at a bunch right beside Tingyu, Hamin, SangWoon, JinSan and Kendou who are now playing basketball. As usual, I don't play. But soon got bored just sitting around and watch.

As I sat there longer, I started to reflect. So, that's why I am writing down this little discovery I made about myself just a moment ago.

"Ivan, why are you not playing?"
"Ivan, why are you not good at it?" ... Then thinking a little deeper... I asked again...

"So Ivan, what do you think you're good at?" .... 10mins passed...

Things I listed are SPORTS... NAH~ ONLINE GAMES... NAH~ FASHION... NAH~ even something like studies... NAH~ Then I asked myself again....

"Why am I still living?" haha.. I smiled.
"What've you learnt for these past 20 years in your life?" haha. Felt a little ashamed but still forced a smiled.

I think, the bottom line is that I am not good at even 1 thing. Nothing I can speak of proudlt to say, "that's my forte!! You can't win me in that!!" I paused and gazed around again and there I see kendou sitting next to me, staring at me and asked...

"why do you looked so stressed?"

After all, I still do care what did I accomplished in life, isn't it? ^^ If not, why did I face says so.?

Well... What else can I still say? People would say I lack confidence. You know, sometimes it's not that I want to belittle myself or underestimate what my potentials are but really there's nothing that is really commendable. Used to feel sad, like I said. But it gets tiring. Now, I don't care about it anyway, I guess I just got to accept what God wants me to be. Then again, am I giving my best , is another debatable issue. haha. How complicated!!

Coming to think of it... I think I am still a little mean to post something like this about myself on a blog. Am I not right? haha. Maybe I should give a little more thought to it. Then, I'll update again to tell you what I am good at. Till then, say whatever you want or forever hold your peace. ^^

不孝子。

2008-01-17T10:53:00.000+08:00

今天，非常的不开心。
不知道是我不孝还是他们的不好。
口口身身的说到自己有多狼狈，但是却不顾别人的感受。

一大清早的就对我大呼大叫，明知道昨晚熬夜做功课
但却不当一回事的说我故意晚睡晚起。故意不去上课。
但事实上我真的没课。他们知道的。但是。。。。

为什么？！

功课已经是够多的了，我真的非常需要一股超大的推动力和自持
但是为什么他们终是不给我鼓励却在我受伤的心灵里撒盐？

他们物质上的爱我感受到了。
但是，心灵上的一点都没有。
他们都不知道这才是问题的所在。

终让我觉得我是孤单孤独的一个人。

This is for you....

2008-01-16T21:25:00.000+08:00

Song: How did you know - Gary

The boy wonders and thinks
and asked the lonely boy with another question

"who are you waiting for?"

the lonely boy could only answer with tears and little screams
but then he slowly started to speak

"she once really loved me, she once really cared for me, but in the end she left me with out saying why? at this lonely spot i sit. the place she said her good bye, and told me that she will return one day. If i can wait for her that long"

the boy didn't know what to say or do
this lonely boy was waiting
waiting for the girl he loves to once again return into his arms
time and days doesn't seem to matter to him
life or death wasn't on his mind
all he wanted to do was wait
for that girl to once again come back to him.

Then a boy came to him and said:

"stay strong to what you believe in, if you believe that she will return. I'm sure she will return back to you. stay strong"

so the boy blessed the lonely boy with his few words
and started walk again on his way home

whatever

2008-01-16T19:49:00.001+08:00

They never understand us.

They always think that we are responsible for it.
I agree too. But I know, I only can help to a certain extent.

They always take examples from those people who cant related to our situation.
They do redundant things to help. So, they thought they helped which in fact hasn't at all. They only think that after we help, then they can come in picture.

But I don't agree with that. Totally.

They always speak about how tired they are, how burdened they are and all sorts of problems they have.
But they always fail to realize that we have out set of problems as well...

We are only this old.

I understand that they are tired. But so are we.
We are together, as one(something they emphasize).
ButThey only think they are the only one who is tired. IRONY
How about us. Living under the same roof means we share the problem.
And, if they are tired because of that, so are we.

They never realized that.

I always try to speak on the behalf of the others.
But they always say, "grow up then talk to me."
It's like WT*. You think I don't understand?

I am not as naive as they thought I am.

They always refuse to exchange opinions.
They never try to look in our views.
They only look at how and what they want to look at.
often flooded by their own troubles.

I suggest...
Change an angle, you may find a way out.

When I asked when did you show love to us, they drew examples from all the events that happened over the pass decades of years saying how patient they have been and not scolding us for what happened.

This isn't what I meant! It's the little love and care everyday that counts.
They didn't know this helps.

One last thing... they always teach us lots of things that they experienced.
But, how could a teen understand that? It's just way beyond their understand because they have not pass through their phase of life! They always says that we don't think. But how can they expect a 15 year old girl think of such complex life theory?

of course, they didnt think of that too..

I don't care

2008-01-16T19:06:00.000+08:00

Till now,
life's as per normal.
Time keeps ticking away unknowingly.

The sky was crowded with black intimidating clouds.
What I could do was to stand in one corner and tremble.

Tremble not in fear but by the amount of uncertainties that I've met and waiting to come.
I pray that things will not go out of hand.

행복합니다. 진짜요.

왜왜왜 ???!!!

headachy new year

2008-01-01T19:43:00.000+08:00

It's a new year again.
Different mixture of feelings flooded once again.
wonder if it's a good or a bad start for this new year.

Gotten news that wasn't too much welcomed,
but rejecting someone in need wouldn't seem too nice.
At this junction, it doesn't seem like someone has stepped out of their comfy zone,
but rather vanishing just like that.

This moment of time, it somewhat doesn't seem too appropriate I guess.
A time when a serious upheaval of uncertainty is in a dire straits.
In need of some guidance yet finding yourself lost in nowhere.

What should be done, no one knows.
But something has to be done.
No matter what.

X'MAS HAPPINESS 행복해~

2007-12-26T03:09:00.000+08:00

Wow~ Is a word I would describe these few days of my life~

It's been tiring physically but yet refreshing in some way or another.
Now, I am not even very aware of what I'm typing...
I'm purely typing with feel to express the purest finest feeling within.
Typing just to let you know that....

I am happy, very contented and really satisfied.
Just so unbelievable...

Full of awe but not "awful", excuse me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS~

2007-12-11T00:45:00.000+08:00

By chance, I see Tarot cards again!!
Refer to my previous post I blogged just a few mins ago.
Aren't things just too coincidental?

The Hermit
The Hermit represents the need to distance yourself from the people and events in your life that are causing undue strain on your emotions. There are times in your life when seclusion and isolation are warranted. The Hermit is a card of discovery and enlightenment, which can only develop by spending time alone with your thoughts. Your energy will be depleted quickly in social situations.

grummppppyyyy

2007-12-11T00:32:00.000+08:00

Ivan is grumpy and irritable these days.
But he hid it.

what the world.

Cosmetic-ed face =D

2007-12-02T21:00:00.001+08:00

Yoyoyo~
Having a cosmetic class isn't that bad after all. HAHA
You learn how to hide your hideous scars away..

Just bought a concealer today for class and as the name of the product suggest, I suppose it should CONCEAL since it's a concealer. So, with the knowledge I obtained from the class, I'm putting it into good use. And it's shown BELOW!! Hope I did. (I really tried my best)

Actually, on the picture it looks good and it shows as if I got FAIRLY good complexion (to those who will scrutinize at it, I don't dare to say it's SUPER GOOD.) Anyway, as I was saying, it looks good on picture but in reality, there are still stupid holes! It's obvious!

And it actually made me look whiter.
Sorry if I hurt your eyes. I know it's kinda spastic, but good anyway I guess.

Click if you have the GUTS!

Hey... Do not feel bad. Do not feel sad.
I am not here to add on to what he has said.

You know.. No matter how over boarded you are;
no matter how bad your attitude was, he never shows but he feels.
He burst tonight.

I think what you done was really hurting. Honestly.
Perhaps, you were not conscious enough to realize it.
I do not condemn you for that yet I hope you won't make the same mistake again.

Reflect on those uncaring words.
He worked hard; he slogged his Saturdays and Sundays away.

For who? For what?
For us.

But what in return was to see people staying up late on the computer, not doing something beneficial nor meaningful but purely a waste of it. Apart from that, what he got was a string of uncaring and insensitive word from someone he love; someone he thought that was worth working hard for.

Just a simple question I always asked myself.
Did I ever make them happy?
It seems like the opposite.

I always imagine myself in their shoes and face heart-breaking moments like this.
(just like times when I say "please spear a thought for him." But you never answered me. And those were the times I felt really upset. )
But whenever I do that, I heart just ache. It aches so much that I just tear uncontrollably.

I may not be the best brother or the best person to tell you this.
But I really hope.............

Here's The Video~

My little Hoppy

2007-11-17T01:00:00.000+08:00

This little, or rather, a big fat grasshopper has been my new adopted pet. Well, looking at the time, it's 1.04A.M. It actually flew into my bedroom about this time last night/morning and it's exactly 12 hours now. Isn't it just cute?! haha. Whenever I look into his/her face(I'll find that out), it never failed to tickle my funny bone. Know why? Because it always gives me this donkey look on his/her face!

Let me laugh please, HWAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWA!!!

Okay, calm~ I seriously have no idea why is he/she giving me this look! But definitely, absolutely hilarious!!! Maybe he's asking me why didn't I let it go. You know, if you ever watch ed any insect movies like "Bug's Life", "Ant", "Ratatouille" or the latest "Bee Movie", you would realize that they(insects) actually talk, but in the movies it's always transmitted to some squeaky, whiny noise, rattling away in some corner trying to get attention. HA!

Well.. let's see how long will it live... I hope i'm not disrupting the ecosystem.
There will be a picture and a video with my little Hoppy munching away leaves~

eveil tarot card that shook me

2007-11-11T18:42:00.001+08:00

The Fool [11-11-2007]
The Fool desires to achieve great things in life, but does not always anticipate the hard work required. Full of curiosity and searching for answers, the Fool symbolizes a new beginning and endless optimism. He must be careful in the decisions he makes, as his lack of experience is often a hindrance. While others may avoid taking on insurmountable odds, The Fool will attempt to accomplish near impossible goals with almost reckless abandon.

Just browsing through my Facebook and got to see this Tarot card somewhere in my page by chance. Upon further reading, strings of thoughts just came flooding in.. Things and decisions that I made not long ago.. The plan that I planned was somewhat closely described to what the Tarot card says That has really made me ponder even harder and made me think twice, thrice and moreee........ It's my personal life plan, isn't it?... Ashii...

Speaking of life plan has hit me even harder now. It has led me to think about what Phua Hee had said during the sermon. Even Sharon questioned me something about that. When it comes for the time to exchange, will I be willing or disgruntled?

I don't know. Really..

Should I listen to it? Or should I not be daunted?
Till then, let's see what plans God has for me. =))

"I don't want to think about it anymore!!...
Fairy God-mother, save me from this adversity
It's just killing me softly... "

Me of late and present....

Have I grown fatter? Personally I feel... Yes... ^^
Was I really slim last time? People all said that. But I never once felt I was skinny before.
Even so, I still remember people saying that I am fat then. [what is going on....]
But people around me now said I am fat and as if I've grew like a 10000X more.

People who noticed:

Joycelin
Cynthia
Alan
Weilun
Shawn
Wang Bei
Fiona
Silvia
Si Hui
Shi Ming

Maybe there are more people who felt but didn't say..
know what? Whatever man. haha

Human nature?

2007-11-08T12:27:00.000+08:00

What a pleasurable sight to see 2 newly born baby safely "touch down" on earth...
It's just so nice to see an innocent, calm and drowsy baby trying to fiddle their little baby fingers with our gigantic fingers. Even when they regurgitate, it looks funny. How innocent can these little babies be!

As we grow up, we start to get bombarded by many different things; the good and the evil.
Good deeds just seem so bothersome and arduous to accomplish while the evil always looked fun easy and appealing to the eye. Maybe that's the nature of us, the homo sapiens.

And that leads me to think about what people normally would say...
"人的本性是善不是恶” which directly translate to mean "human's nature is kind and not evil"
If that's the case, then why do we get appeal to the bad and evil rather than the kind and good?

Then again, there are people who says that: "In every human, there's a dark side in everyone of us." Personally, I feel this saying is much accurate then the previous because I feel that in every human, there are good and bad. But, human like us, like Eve are constantly being tempted by the evil around us.

I feel so cheated again...
Anyway, I really pray that both Keira and Reanne will grow to be God's lovely princesses and will never fall into evil-disguised-goodness.

Forwarding education

2007-10-31T18:21:00.000+08:00

Just some tips on learning a new language... In case you might want to.
For 2 long dreadful months, apart from working with Upside Down Concepts, I have been diligently studying for a new language - Korean. Well, if you really want to learn a language, prepare these:

1. Look for dramas that will interest you.
2. Look for a singer/a band that suits your kind of music.
3. Research some learning notes on the internet if you have the time.
4. Read short passages or baby story books T.T
5. Take a notebook to jot down short simple words/phrases while doing the above.

Anyway, this method is not MOE certified to be reliable or any of that sort. It may or may not work for you, but for me, it certainly did add some vocabulary and knowledge into my tiny little brain.

(NOT RECOMMENDED)
For desperate people, avoid all other language. Just stare at that language whenever you're free. Listen to only (their) songs. Watch and hear only (their) language's dramas.
To the extreme?
Yes, to the very extreme end.

2 con:
My English pronunciation suffered.
You may not be able to relate much locally.

Super Junior

2007-10-24T20:54:00.001+08:00

These are some picture of Super Junior again!
I think I am slowly and unknowingly drawn to become their admirer already. Kinda inspired by them though. *Grrrrrrr*

Honestly, exploring into them is like exploring a whole new world. There seem to be no end to who they really are. On the surface they may be just a member of a group and many people may think that they must be the same. But they are kinda different. Each has different backgrounds and talents such as MCs, Radio DJs, Show Hosts and many other things.. I just can't stop learning from them!
(It sounds like my course of study anyway, hahaha! Maybe I can just pick up some skills from them. Woohooo~)

Many people may always agree that only people of similar character can associate with each other but I would beg to differ that after knowing them, each individual is special in their own way. The only thing that bonded them together is just the passion and love of being a "performer". (Just like our love for God that made us together.)

Only through tiring times, they learn to take care of one another and look out for one another. Eventually get to know one another even on a deeper level.

"Love your neighbor like yourself..." Everyone can be loving to one another! Therefore, I think I shall say "...this person i can't relate to..." lesser. HAHA.

What's true beauty?

2007-09-19T14:50:00.000+08:00

so... my friend was holding her newspaper and i saw dis article i 4gt wad title. it was something like "beauty is linked with good and bad traits" or something of that sort. Got interested i exchanged papers with him.

After reading, I found that this article is something i totally agree with. Because research shows that how beautiful a person is actually boils down to 1 simple thing: character. Its like there are some ppl you look at them, so pretty so suave. But if they appear to possess lousy character, they in-turn will seem "uglier" than the very 1st time you saw them no matter how well they retain their looks. Whereas a simple-looking person with good character will look more pleasing to the eyes as time passes even though outwardly he or she might have already aged or something. So you see, its really not appropriate to judge people solely by looks.

Then i was thinking, since beauty is something deep within, maybe i should focus more on how to be someone with good cool character instead of being concern with my looks all day when you know one fine day you will eventually turn old n wrinkly. But in reality, u will wanna gain acceptance from ppl.You don't wanna be judged ann looked upon as "ugly", "no style" those kinda things. we will always want to look good... sometimes i try to tell myself that goood looks are not everything but it doesnt help much with all the media and peer influences.

Talking about media influence, especially girls, always wanna pursue certain things that are unrealistic.(this statement was stated 3 years back when i was 15! I am only reposting it from my old blog!) like you see some stars, you start to think they have perfect complexion or beautiful hair, when in actual fact are not. In reality, a lot of these stars are no different from us. Just that we see them often on TV n they are packaged till we see them as "perfect".

I think you all got wad i am conveying cos im lazy to go on typing. so just stop here and allow you to think and reflect on it. =))

寂寞孤独的鬼魔头实在太恐怖了！！

2007-09-15T13:07:00.000+08:00

又是那么一天.
天空阴色绵绵，就像快要下雨了……
疲倦的双眼只能静静的看着灵活的双手不停的在键盘上打着打着……
这时候，连我机智的脑袋都不禁慌了起来。双手停顿了……

很迅速的，脑袋又启动了……

宁静的家里只能听着手指打着的嘀嗒嘀嗒声；
MSN里的警声；风扇旋卷的呼呼声
和电脑音箱嘟嘟的念着张震岳的RAP……

现在，我的心情就像黑色宇宙降临。
像被一个丑陋的魔鬼紧紧地掐着。
但是，尽管我怎么呐喊求救都没人能听见。
就这样，我也就愣在这里。

空虚的一天이원就被这名叫寂寞孤独的鬼魔头慢慢的，一口一口的吞没了。

好朋友“TETE"的秘密

2007-09-13T13:31:00.000+08:00

我就是喜欢逗你！呵呵！
我有一好朋友。至中学到今天的好朋友吧。
几乎每天都会一起上下学校；一起吃正餐；一起玩耍。
那，就让我介绍他给你认识认识吧！他就叫 “tete"

外表清秀，品格优良和言行温驯有礼的他常常都会被我们这群可恶一班玩皮小伙子逗着玩。
有时还把他弄得团团转，真是狼狈不堪耶。呵呵。
但是我们就是喜欢。没办法啊。哈哈。
可是别把看得太好欺负哦。有句话说： “老虎不发挥不代表他是一只可受欺的病猫。”
这句话说的是太好了。
偷偷告诉你喔。
他要是挥起他壮如泰山的手臂，我看你待在医院床上的时日十只手指恐怕都不够用呢。呵呵！

就说说昨晚吧。
可怜的我就被他夹这脖子拖着回家耶！
只能怪我知道了他的一个小秘密。呵呵⋯⋯⋯⋯
啊，至少在那么多年后有了一点成就。我真是为他高心耶。
那么的甜，那么的单纯。真是让人羡慕不宜啊。
但是对不起喔，这是不能泄漏的。万一我说了，他一定拿着杀猪刀追着我跑。
你要知道的话就直接问他好了。呵呵⋯⋯⋯⋯

就问他什么是他，

“不能说的秘密”

呵呵⋯⋯⋯⋯

My 2nd Shoot!

2007-09-05T14:59:00.000+08:00

If you've tagged, you would realize that what i'm gonna say now is kinda familiar.
Something that I didn't mention on the previous entry was about the EQUIPMENT.

Before I share about what I've learnt on the trip, allow me to say something pertaining to the equipment...
In my opinion, I think our school's equipment is kinda limited with just basic 3pt "red head" lightings, a monitor and a camera . It's time for some UPGRADE!
I actually asked a "Film, Sound & Video"(FSV) graduate who's working here and asked them about their familiarity with the equipment here(UpsideDownConcepts) and they told me that their school has even more than what's here.
Again, what they have here in UDC is easily 10X more than what my campus has. I understand that we are not "Film, Sound & Video" but I still think we should have "A BITTTT" more luh, at least. Perhaps we, mass commers, are more of communications student then all these technical based students. (I really struggle with the equipments they asked me to load the van when we're going for shoot. The list of names are just so alienated. sobsobT.T) Here are some pictures of the equipments in the storeroom still lingering around. I don't dare to unpack them... So, what you see is what I've got.

Cabin full of cams(left), boxes of different lighting equipments(right back)

If you think our sch camera is pricey, this is worse!
Cost price: S$30,000

Beside the black drawers, the black boxes leaning against it are the advance lightings call the "Kinoflo"

Just look at the wide variety of stands they have!

Now, let's talk a bit on the actual shoot. Hmm, 2nd time going out to shoot; this is was actually producing an advertisement for "No Signboard Seafood" restaurant located at the 3rd level of VivoCity. A bit more familiarized with the equipment they use now.(at least a few more now) It's bad shooting for restaurant! haha! You just can't help it to hold the lights or camera and not to start drooling when the director says "ACTION". The food is just too tempting for mouth. It feels like as if your mouth's going to snap off your face. REALLY!
Just you see! (look out for the madly gigantic legendary king crab! It costs madly-ly S$400!

At the end if you think I left the restaurant having those lobsters and king crab sliding down my digestive system, I tell you, they took it all back into the kitchen! T.T

My filming trip!

2007-08-31T20:22:00.001+08:00

"scene 1, take 1..."
"Cameras ready?"
"Cameras rolling..."
"and.... ACTION!"

yade yade yade~

"and.... CUT!"
"good take!" ........

All these phrases I heard have ranked the highest frequency for today!
It's tiring... But what made it all worthwhile was the experiences I earned and, all the cool stuffs you never would learn in it from the school! To be cooped up in a office from 9am-6.45pm, almost a 10 hr of office hour would be HELL! However, with filming as the main task is never the same... It's just sooo fun and enjoyable. Getting to meet with interesting talents(actors) and bumping into hilarious and awkward moments =D

No doubt, it's a long day at work, but I must say that it's definitely a long day wit not only work but fun and joy. Of course no such things like, having to raise your head each time feeling so devastated and disappointed and just to know that the clock has just past 10mins or to think of ways to rush to catch the MRT before 6 to avoid jostling with the crowd! just liike any other typical commuters would have thought of. HAHA!

Below are the pictures from today's filming......

2007-08-30T23:43:00.000+08:00

Pfffft!
It's now I call "officially the end of term!"
Finished my last terrible paper 4 days ago...

(So, what've I been doing for the past 4 days then?)

There, here's my little update on my "itinerary" for these past 4 wonderful days. =D\

This is the production house that I have been at for the past 4 days!
It's a 2 storey shop house located somewhere along some street in Farrer Park. It's this very old school English filming company feel and even the exterior of the building itself is painted dull milky paint with pinkish flowers embroidered on it.

It's cool and....
tomorrow is the day! I'm finally going out to shoot some stuff ! Exciteddd....... It's gonna be a long day tomorrow. So, see ya! xD

Kynaston! Happy birthday!

刚从电影院回来，很久不在电影院看电影了。
　　
追着去看《不能说的秘密》不是因为周杰伦，是因为桂伦镁，或是说就是因为蓝色大门。
　　
整部电影就是空间与时间关系的一个再创造，很感叹编剧的功力。
　　
我想如果一个能够去到未来的人一定不会快乐，轻易窥探时间的规律是可悲的。小雨就是，在第
一次看到小伦时，其实她并不知道只有看到第一眼的人才能看到她，所以她很努力的很坦然的面对那个时空。小伦呢，整个事情他都被蒙在谷里，他只是单纯的面对和解释他的爱情，不卑不亢。没人有错
，必须确定这一点。
　　
我觉得所有的意象也很透彻，之前小伦问：“你为什么弹这个曲子时那么快啊？”雨道：“因为我回去时就是要弹这么快啊”。四手联弹，舞会的个人舞蹈秀。这些都让那个事实显而易见的摆在了我们面前，所有的剧情是顺流而下的，中间有许多分支，可以逆流，逆流后令人感觉更加透彻。
　　
还有整个剧情的核心，Secret琴谱，用古琴，既定的旋律和节奏，弹快就回到过去，弹慢就去到未来。似乎一切都拥有它已定的规则。我们往往对其束手无策。小雨爱上未来的男孩很容易，回到过去后这种感情就不确定，不真实了。以一种既定的方式来获得的事物就一定不会长久永恒。所以悲剧就会发生，那个闭塞的 70年代，被认为是精神病是很卑劣的事情。小雨就是，当她告诉20年后小伦的父亲时，她是可以释怀的，毕竟她追求的是真实的生活。可一切的发展是出乎意料的。未来小伦无奈的几个月与小雨的精神崩溃期其实是一个相对时间里发生的，以至于后来小伦看到了小雨貌似是20年前所留下的修正液迹。当小伦将修正液用力点出心形图案时，小雨的死其实已经发生了。
　　
死，经常是结局，但小雨的死小伦是事后知道的，也就是说那是在20年后被小伦父亲说穿的。所以结局被滞后了。如果一个人知道怎么能够找到自己的真爱时，会奋不顾身，小伦没有奋不顾身，我觉得他是明白自己在做什么的，他努力让自己回到那个既定轨道上，既然所有都是已定的，那就要再次既定个新的，然后彻底改变这个规律，而不是轻易盲从，或轻易反驳。小伦在快要塌掉的琴房里开始了他的演奏，爆发着情绪开始他的救赎。
　　
当小伦看到小雨母亲真正释怀20年前的一刻时，一种微妙的缘分所牵扯到的，企及到的都是那么逼真，精致，加上小伦父亲的人物设定，人物与剧情还有核心内容完全浑然一体。还有镜头的剪辑点和画面的节奏感，周导都把握的恰到好处。小伦爸翻开琴谱页脚之前，小伦在快塌掉的房子里弹到最后几个音符，这个画面是最记忆犹新的，两个画面转换流畅，符合逻辑，如果小伦还没回到20加N年前时，父亲是能看到20年前小雨留下的名字，当他弹完曲子时，自然那个名字就会消失，因为这个时空的小伦消失了，小伦让父亲彻底知道了真相，坚贞的回到了过去。楼的倒塌声与之后学校的下课铃声声声相接，过去与现实，现实与未来，环环相扣，意味深长。
　　
这真是一部值得去电影院看的电影啊，很久没看到这样可以用心看的电影了。开始时觉得动机不纯，竟然因为桂纶镁。但当那个泛黄毕业照最后出现然后~最美不是下雨天~的片尾曲抨击视网膜和听小骨时。看电影就没有那最初的明确的目的了，也明白了导演纯真的表现，也理解了他要表达的情愫。那感觉很奇怪，也许仅仅是热爱吧。

YEY!

This term has finally come to an end!

Tomorrow is our church's (CCC) Swimming Carnival Day!
Took part in one of the events with Sang Woon. I don't know how it will turn out, but I will trust everything on God's hand tomorrow. insecure..

We must have the "Win, we praise God. Lose, we praise God." spirit! C'mon! =D

Coming along with all the swimming events, we will also be having a cheering competition!
The Teens Ministry has joined their forces with the awesome parents from the Parent Youth Integrated Ministry and we will dance/cheer along with the song "We're all in this together" from The High School Musical. (Way to go, main squat!)

(Natalie, 2007) suggests, "It's called The High School 1/2 Musical".

If you're wondering...
Yes, I'm in the main squat too. =D

I just pray everything will go well tomorrow. No bad stormy rainy weather!

(Anthony 2007) suggests, "It's not all about winning or losing. It's all about the love."

Ok! Whatever, turn in early!
We're all in this TOGETHER! !

LIP DUBBING!

2007-08-15T01:19:00.000+08:00

ALright!
It's once again a very busy and tiring week for me.
Rushing datelines and completing projects.
It's arduous but guess what?! This is the last week of school!

Thank God, I only have 2 papers. But still, there's one that I'm not really confident though.

Anyway...
Just 2 weeks ago, for tutorial class project, we've tried out some lip-dubbing!
We had fun and it was a really really hilarious process. I thought it was a really good 1st try.
Whatever it is, feel free to voice your comments after watching it. =D

Hmm.. Last week 4 Koreans came to our church and there was like this big hoo-ha. But, honestly, it was really awesome to have them around. At least something new is added to Teens, to perk up many of us in the Teens.

Well, one very interesting thing.
One of the two korean girls told me that I look REALLY (she emphasized) alike to someone, someone in this Korean band called the "Super Juniors".
And, she also told me that this person is call Shin Dong. So I did searched a bit for this mysterious ivan-looking person. AND................

TADAHHHH! I finally found it!
Loooook closer~ I asked my silblings and they too laughed at me! Without hesitation pointing to the right one. *faint*

Here are a few pictures... haha!

1 Luck 7 Suay Day

2007-07-25T23:48:00.000+08:00

What happened today!
Nothing seems to be working well.

Suay-ness no.1
I was at the bus stop at about 7.30am+ and I only was allowed to board the bus at 8.30am, mind you.

Anyway that's only after about 10 buses of bus no.27 pass by without stopping, then I decided to take bus no.89 as an alternative to avoid any jostling with the people alighting and boarding the bus.

I reached to transit to bus no.15

Suay-ness no.2
The frequency of bus no.15 is so much slower than bus no.27, anyway, 4 bus no.15 also passed by me without stopping.
It's 9am then.

Suay-ness no.3
Finally, one that's just a littttle crowded bus came.
Guess what?! My butt almost got clamped by the flipping doors!
(I know it's funny, but don't laugh!)
*burst the bubble*

Nevermind, I stepped down.
It's already 9.10am

Suay-ness no.4
Knowing that I am in chronic lateness, I took a cab with a friend and one stranger.
SUAY enough, the taxi driver took a longer route out. THANKS AH!

Suay-ness no.5
The taxi driver who caused me to be late and conned my money reached.
NOW! the stranger(TP student) who shared the cab with us paid only $1.75 for the $8.50 total fare and ran off in the speed of light. *shak head*

Suay-ness no.6
YEY! I finally reach the TP and I dashed toward "School of Business". But what?! The main clock shows 9.25am, 10 mins past the grace time and i missed my listening test for Japanese class.

Lucky-ness no.1
I saw Creston who's also late. So i told him that he missed almost half of the listening test and no use going. So with him, we went for our saviour, MC. Great time spent!

Suay-ness no.7
At last, it was my turn! I confess I lied to get the MC. I told the doctor I got a migraine.
The doctor went on with different methods to ensure that I am well all round.

And that's also when he told me that I was diagnosed with...................

One and only day

2007-07-23T00:13:00.001+08:00

This year's birthday is definitely one and the only special birthday.
And why?

Well, if you haven't already looked at the calendar for some time, you might not actually realize that my birthday fell on the 20 - July - 2007.

Take a closer look 0.0

20.07.2007

Anyway, being 19 is not quite a bad thing, at least not to the -ty/ties.
Instead of frowning over this stupid age thing why not fun your last year as a teen to the fullest?

Ivan, get mature when you're 20. So, if you still want to be childish, you've left with only 362 days left because it's 23.July today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IVAN!
Thank you thank you. =))

2007-07-19T23:35:00.001+08:00

I am very nervous and excited now!!

what a day

2007-07-15T20:24:00.001+08:00

I understand that some people can't read chinese words.
Can't read as in the computer doesn't support chinese character.

Hence, I have changed it into a image format.

"Stop the sarcasm, you know you're in the wrong." - Ivan

May I ask how old are you already?
Have your brain not completely developed yet? EQ? IQ?
How can anyone has the cheek to say this when they are downright wrong at the first place.
Please don't act like some immature teeny-bopper.
Please stop speaking puerilely that reflects the utmost disgrace to us.

Someone who comes back home and leave their clothes hanging everywhere, is NOT FIT TO TALK.
Someone who doesn't shower till wee hours, is NOT FIT TO TALK.
Someone who leaves his soiled plates till the ants come, is NOT FIT TO TALK.
Someone who lets the TV on and falls asleep, is NOT FIT TO TALK.
Someone who is so brazen is NOT FIT TO TALK!
(stop making mom shout at you every single day. Be responsible!)

So, just SHUT UP

Don't assume that you will get whatever you want with JUST A FINGER SNAP!
Don't expect everyone to be always ready and serve you with what you want.
Don't be surprised that you won't always get what you want.
Especially with the hideous character and attitude of yours.
Don't think that everyone is your MAMA.
Don't be impatient.

Quit being a big whiny baby.
You are no BOSS at home!

BOO! I just can't be bothered.

Lord, are you there?

2007-07-12T00:32:00.000+08:00

Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, help me stand.
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;
Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light.
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.

When my way grows drear, precious Lord, linger near.
When my life is almost gone;
Hear my cry, hear my call, hold my hand lest I fall.
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.

When the shadows appear, and the night draws near,
And the day is past and gone;
At the river I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand.
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.

All over the place~

2007-07-11T00:11:00.000+08:00

Taking a break from all the Japanese and back to English now.
It feels so much better to be reading English!
Okay. Well.. Tomorrow's going to have some Japanese test.
Learnt Japanese though. But it's kind of difficult to recall when things happen like a few years ago. Gosh~

Nevermind about that.

Let's move on....

Last Saturday, spent time with my awesome papa and mama. It's been a long time since I last spent time with them and just them.

ONLY THE TWO OF THEM!
[ok, i know you get it, just pardon me]

To fantasize about being the only child is back again~ Pardon me again.
I feel good in that outing with my parent, I want it to go on.
I just can't feel how bad will a only child be. Never able to fathom.
No matter how hard I try, only good things come and never the bad.

Ok, let's stop this fantasizing thingy.
GET REAL! [You have 1 bro and 1 sis!]

Maybe because whenever I go out with only my parents, they tend to buy more things for me without much hesitation. Not really just materialistically but rather emotionally. I feel like they concentrates more when I speak and it's mutual. Perhaps the love at that time is 200%! They are just somehow different as compared to when my siblings are around.

OH! They got me a phone. You know, I lost my phone!
So, anyway, who manages to endure my craps and is reading till this part of my entry, congratulations! You'll be added into my phonebook!

So, your instruction now is to SMS me and tell me your name!
My number remains =))

Oppps!

2007-07-05T00:05:00.000+08:00

This blog was left untouched for a week or so.
Do you know why?
In fact, it's kind of lame(not as in crippled)
Actually, I just hope that more people could see those pictures of the kids.

Nevermind about that.

This week has been great and to think that....
I once was lost, lost in a pitch dark dimension.
Lost in directions; lost in faith.

Then, I tried all directions and it all looked the same.
Discouraged, despaired, lethargic, exasperated, slothful and disheartened were the feelings.

But these feelings just unknowingly vanished within these few weeks.
In this dimension, it seems like I've found some faint footsteps.
Footsteps that seem to be leading me to somewhere.
Somewhere I don't even know.
Somewhere I can't even figure the periphery of this dimension.

But still, I have decided to pick up my courage and faith to venture out.

I know, it's the people in my life that paved the footstep.
A sign, a chance I am given that would prosper.
I believe.

KIDS!!

2007-06-23T02:38:00.000+08:00

Well, at last I can call them "kids!!!".
Common words used by teachers in school.
Did it ring any bells?

Today's my last day at work.
Last day meeting the children I've been teaching for 2 weeks.
I might be able to teach them in future, or maybe not.
So, let's see then.

The children are good at times and definitely devils at times.
They're like angels when they are good. So adorable, so cute.
But once they turn devil, HA! Climbing all over you like you're the tree.
There're still worse cases! Imagine it for yourself!

And if you're shaking your head with the most unbelievable imagination you can think of in your head right now, I urge you not to take up that job. You'll either land your bender in jail for committing murder or get your hands embrazing yourself in your arms for going bonkers.

Anyway, here are some pictures of the Angel'n'Devil.

Devil's devianct act! This is what I meant!
Almost broke my laptop into two!

Engrossed!

House of Kids!

House of Kids!

Deviant Act!

Jacky and me.

Fascinated by technology!

Some of the boys

Look at the times when they are Angels and times when they are Devils!
Bye boys and girls.
No more chocolate.
No more sweets.
No more Pocky.

It says it all.

2007-06-20T23:16:00.000+08:00

It is better for people to hate you for who you are then to have people to love you for who you're not.

Please lead and guide the lost sheep to the promised path you planned that propers.
I will promise to try my best and I am counting all on you. Thank You.

COOKING CLASS

2007-06-18T00:02:00.000+08:00

I am rejuvenated.
I am raging in fire
I am ready to COOK!

From these few days, I believe we've learnt an abundance of priceless knowledge.

As what Wee Keong preached a year ago, let's not just listen to what we've learnt and store it in our brains like how we shove our groceries we bought into the fridge.

Let's together turn on our blazing fire, heat up the wok and start putting all the "ingredients" that we have from the fridge into the wok and stir some dishes up.

Just throw whatever you've got in and have faith and trust in Him that you'll see a scrumptious dish and smell the aroma of His creation the moment when you remove the lid.

At the end of the day, whatever the result will be, praise God.

A date with the KL single's sister

2007-06-17T01:06:00.000+08:00

HA!
I guess the brothers are much more fortunate today.
Sisters are expected to report to church at 9.30am while the brothers will only need to be there by 3.30pm. That's not the point today but anyway, today's sermon was great. This sermon was meant to be for the brothers only but I think the topic isn't necessary surreptitious but rather beneficial that I share so that the sisters can learn it too. =D
(Also for the brothers and friends who wasn't there today)

Basically, there're 8 main points today and are shared equally by 2 country's leader- Malaysia and Indonesia.

1. 1st contact
2. acquaintance
3. to serve and go the extra mile
4. friendship
5. identification- be proud to identify yourself
6. clarification
7. exploration
8. bible study!

Today's date with Xiao Lin was awesome. She's a 3 year old christian.
Haven't really got a chance to encourage her much.
From thee start of the date till the end, she was mainly the one who encouraged me all the time.
What she had been through and all the tough times were 100x more than mine, I guess.
Her amazing life story taught me and made me realized that what I've been through was just a small little pebble that tripped me over.
The deep conviction in her was manifest by the way she encouraged.

Though her appearance may seem small and gentle
But the spirit and faith in her burns ferociously.

Tomorrow marks the end of SEA Conference 2007.
I pray that they continue to grow and always faithful!

Bye Japaneses
Bye Malaysians
Bye Americans
Bye Koreans
Bye Indonesians
Bye Mongolians
Bye all!

Love-Based Evangelism

2007-06-16T01:02:00.000+08:00

"I pray you be our eyes..... and watch us when we go....." (Song Title: The Prayer by Celine Dion and Josh Groban)

Oh my gosh! I was completely mesmerized by the voices of the sisters.
Great job, sisters! And teen sisters, you guys have been awesomee~

By the way, it's the second day of the SEA Conference.
Danish George preached about love-based evangelism today. Thought pretty much about it and I was pretty much impacted.
Of all the seeds that I have scattered, none of them seem to respond. It was a turning point for me today in regards to eevangelism. So many points made sense to me today.

I should perhaps just scatter as much seeds as possible, regardless of what soil I was given.
I should perhaps try harder and not compromise evangelism with any excuses.
I should perhaps do my best and rely everything on Him and trust in Him.
I should perhaps organize more evanglism hangouts too. (Amen teens?) WOOHOO!

Well, my blog marks the end of the day and anticipations for the wonderful tomorrow.
Today I made several new friends from KL campus and also heard a earful of increadible life storiesss..... It's simply supercalifragilisticexpialidociousss~
WOOT!

Tomorrow gonna be out on date with the KL teen sisters! Hope that it'll be an encouraging one.
So much for now!

OMG

2007-06-15T02:53:00.000+08:00

Beebee loves me.

I wonder why and dont know why.
But yeah. I only know that beebee loves me.
But hey people, it might just be some
infatuation that's all.
Don't take it too hard.

HA!

SEA Conference: Day 1

2007-06-15T02:22:00.000+08:00

Today is an arduous but yet a fulfilling good day. A day when once again being able to work with the fellow campus brothers and sisters in church. Today is also a BIG day! The official day for SEA Conference 2007. I went to church early in the morning at 10am filling full of excitement and anticipation. Wondering how the Straits Hall would look like, brimming with people all over the world. The thought of the magnificent scene just blew me away.

In the afternoon, we simply just got the registration counters to be ready and set up. With the presence of absolute spirit of teamwork, everything was fixed within 2-3hrs.
Awesome~

At about 3 we started watching Battle Royale. Yeah, I know, it’s a gruesome Japanese sadistic show. It’s a non-stop movie hit of blood splattering, head axing, neck slashing, crouch stabbing and gun shooting. Definitely not suitable for faint hearted!

At about 5pm, people worldwide started to trickle in and deposit their luggage. People were awesome. They were warm and loving. The immense amount of joy and the gleeful faces portrayed at the moment when they see each other could never be good enough to be described with words. Awesome~

Definitely, the sermon went well. The ambience of the entire singing worship was incredibly awe-inspiring.

As excited as I am today, I am also feeling as excited for tomorrow’s service and fellowship.

A bit of nervousness too because I am singing in the choir tomorrow!
Ultimately, to God be the glory!

my 12 and 13 of June

2007-06-15T02:20:00.000+08:00

12th and 13th was two full “kid’s day”.

On the 12th, we set out in the morning with childlike exuberance, sharing one ultimate goal and that is to brighten up their day in their “mini jail” – the childcare.
Well, of course with the awesome accompany made up by Uncle Steven, Didi Shawn, Jeanette and her two friends, Mei Hui and Douglas. We visited a total of two childcares that day. =D

In the 1st childcare, there was this interesting figure who immediately caught our eyes when we step into the room. There is this kid who you might think that he/she cross-dressed. He has this long hair and is very girl looking. Just imagine a mini Paul Two Hill.

In the midst of the game, some kid squabble arose. At that moment, he was feeling full of indignant and was frowning, sitting at one corner. Then, as a “big korkor” in the childcare, I initiated to talk to him. I started the topic by askinghim why does he have a hairstyle that’s so rocker-like? And also ask him whether if he liked that hairstyle.

He immediately shook his head and said that it was all his mom’s decision. He also told me that he hated his hair because the other kids in the childcare love to make fun of him by calling him a girl. Well, under my wings of love, everything went well and he started to smile and regained the spirit in him!

Thereafter, he just couldn’t stop babbling about MapleStory. He just went on and on with MapleStory and more MapleStory. How niceee~

As interesting as his hairstyle, this is a 5-year-old boy name Denzel.

On the 13th, only me and me alone, I went over the 2nd childcare. A childcare I also went on the 12th.

Side Track:
Ohh, before that I actually went to tutor a kid who name Delberi. It was in fact my very first session with him. But never mind, I just received a call today saying that they prefer a female tutor. Flare out man! FIRED

This is my own view please don’t be too critical.
I just feel that the kids there are extremely naughty, hyperactive, corrupted in the mind and corrupted in the mouth. I just think that this is something that’s not very positive about childcare centers. It only needs one to influence the rest of the kids in the center, which I feel that is an crucial problem faced by people all over the place.

What to do?

Quoting what John Louis (2007) preached in the SEA Conference sermon, he said that “there are certain things that we can controlled and there are also things that can’t be controlled.”

Cannot be controlled: BAD word of mouth by the kids
Can be controlled: Teach ‘em about it or look out and stop them on the spot.

I think that’s just so much control measure can aid.

But still, they are so adorable in their own ways.

Joycelin said: "朋友是拿来利用的"
So, when she says that "朋友是因该互相帮忙的"
Then, you know what it means luh~

HAHA! (Joycelin, this is for you)

WHY?

2007-06-07T13:01:00.000+08:00

Things just got worse I guess.
But what's coming can never be any better.

"Tsk"

Why do we have to worry so much?
When you see the birds in the air and the fishes in the sea
live so happily each and every day.
They get whatever they want and to them life is like as if
it has been paved out long ago.

Likewise, I believe my life has been paved the moment I was born.
And, I will be like the birds soaring high in the sky;
like the fishes fighting against the current,
looking out for the right path and grabbing hold of
each and every opportunity that is there for me.

ALL THE WAYYY!!!! woot~! =D

P/S: MONDAY WAS AN ANGRY DAY!

万物各有轨道
行星是绕着闪耀的恒星运行
从不更变
彗星
总以迅雷不及
掩耳之姿出现
产生意想不到的效应
行星恒星与彗星
三个人
各有宿命

单纯的情感爱情友情与青春
淡淡然地被记录下来
他压抑地爱着他
她坦然地爱他和他
他因为寂寞所以不能忍受失去她和他

好朋友有什么不能讲
爱不能讲
因为不知是单纯的友情
感情摊开来就会害怕失去

就这样
留下了青春的痕迹
深刻却又伤感
