Let me introduce some people that i've met this year and became really good friends of mine. It's kind of like a tribute to 2007 for giving me these great people to love and cherish hopefully all my life. This is in no particular order.
1. Alan and his family.
Alan is my cathecism class teacher but after discovering that he was my neighbor, he became much more than just that. He was like a good friend and mentor to my siblings and I, helping out whenever he could. His family is also a group of very nice people and I tutored the eldest daughter (pri 1) for a couple of months before her exams. Alan has helped make my confirmation camp something really really special and for that and everything else that he has done, thank you and God bless.
2. Holly Matthews.
My neighbor and good family friend. Holly is funny, nice and has a good taste of music. She's my sister's bestie and is my good friend. Though she is young, she is very mature and sensible. She is also a bit hot-tempered at times though I can stand it. Its all part of her as a person. Besides, I can stand any type of nonsense! =P If I were to form a band, she would be my first choice for say... keyboards or alternate vocals or something.
3. ALisa
She is my stepmums, good friend's daughter who lives overseas all the way in italy. She is a really sweet friend and if she were here now, she'd be my best friend. In terms of conversation, we ARE best friends. I look foward to talking to her on msn everyday and she knows of every song ive ever written. As in EVER. I would trust her with my life if I could though I dont think she would like the pressure. Being trusted someones life is huge responsibility haha. I really want to thank her for being there for me all this while. Thank you for helping me through everything.
4. Sophie
Sophie is a very sweet thoughtful girl that I met in march this year. She is very easy to get along with and is a very good friend, willing to open up to you if you oepn up to her first. That was how we got to be good friends anyway. I respect her alot because i know that shes got my back and ive got hers as well. 24/7. Just hope she knows it. She isnt afraid to be herself. Even I sometimes have problems with that. She is now one of m best friends i have and i hope she stays the way she is.
5. MC
MC is Alisa's best friend. The more outgoing one if you might. Very fun to be around and easy to talk to. She is honest and she is also quite innocent. I can trust her very well and she trusts me as well. She's really cool and funny/random sometimes. Thats what makes MC so enjoyable i suppose! I hope that she remains who she is and i just want to let her know that... she can have everything she wants cause thats what she said to me.
6. Yontangg Syusuke
AKA YunTing is my official non-bilogically related sister. We met in the zhongsan trip and she is really really nice. What i like about her is that once again, she isn't afraid to be herself and she has a unique flair about her that makes the world a little happier. She and I can talk alot though we do have quite a few differences which just makes it even better. I hope that she continues to be herself and that she will love herself more. =P
7. Catherine
I met catherine in the confirmation camp this year. She may seem very quiet but she is one of the coolest people ive met in a long time. Catherine is a real friend like the rest of those on this list. A friend who wants the best for you and wont be afraid to tell you what is best even if it wouldnt exactly be good news. I want to thank her for being herself, a real good friend.
8. Farhan
Farhan sits beside me in class at school. Besides being trustworthy, he is also very mature and disciplined. He is very knowledgable and easy to be with. A really good friend who travels the academic journey with me as we venture forth into unknown trigonometric functions and biological terms. =P He is a very nice and gentle person. Not common in guys our age. Hes that kind of friend you would want to keep for a very long time. Thanks man for everything.
9. Gabriel, Jacinta and Remus
These guys just have to be the coolest people. I really thank God for letting our paths cross because these people are really good-hearted and at the same time, great friends to have.
10. Steph, Joan and Cassandra.
The trio make good friends and respectable people later in life. Nothing much to say here just really happy that i met these people. They are fun to be around and do know how to stir up something uknowingly. Three very very interesting and fairly distinct personalities.
These people are some people i really really cherish and hope to keep them forever as friends though it may sound a bit selfish. Some people i have decided not to mention not bcause they arent worth mentioning but because if i did, the list wouldnt end. =P. So far it has been an enjoyable year with its fair share of sorrows and joys. Hope you too had a wonderful year and all the best for next year i suppose!
Cheers, Markyc

Late December train ride.
The second half of december was going to be more of an emotional roller coaster than anything I expected it to be. The past 2 weeks of my life could be compared to riding on a horse. Bumpy (sore bums and all) but enjoyable. Sometimes, i didnt know wether to smile or frown. To be sad or happy. So much so that I did feel sad and happy at the same time on a few occasions.
Before i go on, i would like to say... MERRY CHRISTMAS!
On the 20th of december, i met up with andy, my 2 new sisters (yunting and yunying), plus a few other zhongsan people for a christmas party. We had BiWen to be santa with jackets as his potbelly which was too tempting to resist rubbing =P. Met a couple more cool people there. On that day i remember being really happy and high. Played a few christmas carols on the guitar as well. We relived the zhongsan trip by singing "country road" again and i'm sure everyone enjoyed it. It was a lunch function by the way. I drew a horse for the gift exchange and it ended up in huiwen's hands. I think she liked it. =P I got a 50 piece puzzle which i have yet to fix and everyone else got other stuff. Popular choice of gift, chocolates. Cheap and nice.
The next day was a long and hectic day full of ups and downs. It was the day of the bbq. Gabriel, Catherine, Ryan and Alan came by in the late morning to help set up the stuff. Ryan came by with 60 chicken wings, Gabriel and I went to the bbq wholesale centre in siglap to get some bbq stuff, Catherine came by with potatoes and Alan came by because he was a neighbor and my cathecism teacher. =P Mum was out and the siblings were a their friends place, leaving me in charge of the house. Gabriel and Alan later went to get lunch and a few more bbq items such as tongs. Cat and I stayed back to wash highly unsuccessful potatoes. Most of the time we were just lazing about. When the guys came, it was already around 4 o'clock. Sent them out for a scavenger hunt. Cat and I had set up the scavenger hunt before the party so we were the supervisors. Got thrown in the pool, threatened for my life, posed in sexy photos etc. As usual, Steph was running about, the same way she was during the hunt in confirmation camp.
When it was time to bbq, the clouds above were indescisive. They came and went and so did the rain. In the end we had our bbq with alans gas stove. He brought it over to the foyer and then did the rain come down. Apparently, I didnt lock the house down before i went. Later in the day i would loose my wallet as well. This made mum really upset and almost prevented me from going to midnight mass on christmas eve. I think everyone enjoyed the party. Am really thankful to god for prompting me to make that descision to switch classes. It must have been one of my best descisions ever. I mean the people ive met in this class are really great people. So diverse in beautiful personalities.
Last night, the same group of people attended the midnight mass. It was a great mass. Not very beautiful like the one in confirmation camp but still a great mass. Probably because of the company i had. Cat was there, Jerome, Joel, Joan,Gable, Joan's other friend, Ryan and Christine, and Stephanie. All dressed formally (except for Ryan) ready to celebrate the lord's birthday. It was one of those nights where i just wanted to sit back and reflect before the mass. I have done so many things, heard so many conversations before, I needed time to reflect on myself. I hitched a ride back with Catherine along with Gable and Shao Meng. Dancing through catchy hymms and developing a lump in my throat a while before can be very taxing. When I got home, Mum and Nick were still awake. I opened a few of my presents as well...
I do not think that any of these presents could really fill me for now. It was all cool and really really great. I mean a pair of really good earphones, an xbox360(from mum to the family), A few good books and a few great shirts, A real diary book from holly and a few others. All this was really good but I think something wasn't quite there yet. I couldnt put my finger on it. Maybe I would'nt.
Already a Late December. Everything in full flow, everything going pretty much in the right direction. I wanted this christmas to be memorable and special. Maybe it was maybe it was'nt. Everything I have right now, is everything a late december should be like. Almost there. Imagine youself on a train. Looking out the window, trees and scenery move past you so quickly in blurred vision. The last few kiometers of the ride, you see familiar sights. Sights you have seen before. Sights you have never noticed to be so beautiful yet so normal. Come late december and you are packing your bags ready to leave the carriage. You look back through the window. All the people in your life wait outside awaiting your return from the journey you have taken this year, hoping that you are still the person you were a year ago. You hope that someone you met on the journey stays to accompany you in the future. In the years to come. And you come to love this person. To me, thats what a late december should be like. The end of a long train ride
Before i go on, i would like to say... MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Knot (china day 2)
I cannot remember much about what happened in day 2 of the zhong san trip. I do remember going the house of Sun Zhong San that day. We took the bus there and Tim the tour guide started talking again. I cant remember what we were doing i think we were talking at the back of the bus and not listening to tim for that trip so much so that the adults in the back were telling us to lower our volume. We reached the house and they apparently preserved the whole village. Of course there was a larger building that acts as a museum for everything. We took a tour of Sun Zhong San's house when he was in Zhong San itself. He's quite a complicated person really. Plus the chinese really like honolulu huh?
There was this statue of an old man, a young girl and a boy who was supposed to be the young ZhongSan. The girl was perched on the oldman's leg. At first it was alright. Then at one angle, ms chairwoman pointed out that it looked obscene. Everyone in the group was so shocked and suprised that she said it because it DID look obscene. I mean, if it was from Andy or something its excusable but from Aunty Jenny??? Whoa... She must really be young at heart huh?
We took a few photos before leaving the place. If I'm not mistaken, we went to another old place. It was pretty cool like something out of a chinese drama serial of princesses and concubines and princes the like. There was a magic show where i was asked to volunteer. The magician was very funny. This short, round chinese bloke which bounced to the background music. He also called me "shuai ge" or sumth like that. Made everyone think i had red underwear as well. =P Then there was this other guy who could change mask faster than you could say "Carrotop!". Another guy could pour tea like a pro. He had a really long spout and performed wushu-like moves all for the sake of pouring tea.
I cant remember if it was that day but i went shopping with marcus koufu. Bought a pair of converse shoes and S&K Jeans which were really nice. We were supposed to go to our old place place somewhere but i chose not to so after dinner, Yun Ting, Yun Ying, Xiao Du etc. and I went shopping and i got my very first BEANIE! Also got a pair of sunglasses and marcus koufu thought that I was trying to imitate "Rain" Haha.
After practicing one last time for the performance, we went back to our bunks and retired for the night. Relations with others are like knots. When we meet other people, our strings cross each other, waiting to be tied. Sometimes, the string doesnt get entangled at all and moves on but sometimes, we will knot on each other. Thus the first simple knot comes in place. Much like meeting other people. We get to know each other and at once, the first knot is tied. As the knot grows stronger, we get to know each other better and start to be with each other more. Sometimes time will test the knot. By fire and water or whatever. If the string is strong, it wont burn but melt into each other. Thats when the string is almost inseperable. Unless we cut it ourselves. Stay away from all sorts of communication. But when we cut it, we would have lost that bit of our string which was tied to the other person's one thus losing part of ourselves in the process. Maybe some strings wont cross at all until we take a turn in our life. Ready to tie the knot?

China day 1 (no reflections)
I have just come back from China. It was a very very long and eventful trip that got more eventful and fun as the days in Zhong San passed. A bit of background on Zhong San. Zhong San lies to the south of GuangZhou and is about 2 hours bus ride from GuangZhou, HongKong or Macau. It was initially not known as ZhongSan until it was renamed in honour of Sun Zhong San who was a strong political figure that formed modern china. It is divided into 24 or so different townships and is well known (well not so much) for its chrysantemum flowers and all sorts of other things. It has a population of about 1.4 million, and 80,000 or something more overseas (including my family).
I woke up at around 430 on the day of the flight and reached the airport at around 6ish. Took a ride on the skytrain to T1 because mum parked at T2 =P. At the airport I met the ZhongSan people. My other youthful people such as Andy, Kenneth, Michelle were there as well to take the flight. It was on China Southern. Small plane, average entertainment system (one movie for all), basic ecnomy seats. Played Cards and watched the movie on the plane. It was a chinese movie about this woman who was poor and landed a job as a nurse to some really good policeman who is suffering from lung cancer. apparently the policeman wronged a person long before and that person was suffering a heart disease. The policeman arrested him still. So the story is about redemption and forgiveness, to be able to forgive yourself so that others can forgive you.
When we reached, we met up with YunYin and YunTing, aged 12 and 15. The 2 are sisters and by the end of the trip, they would be my "sisters" as well =P. Got our baggage and went out. China air in Guangzhou isnt AS bad as say... shanghai but the visual range is still around 6 miles. Beyond that is all grey. After a 10 corse meal, we went to the Chrysanthemum festival place. Apparently, it happens once every 7 years or so. I have never seen so many flower arangements in my whole life. There was this huge wall covered in flowers depicting 9 dragons. Then there was this pagoda on top of a hill far off in the distance. The streets were lined with food shops and small little crafting shops. Marcus Koufu and I waited at the sidewalk for about 30 minutes waiting for the others to finish buying their little carved keychains which costs 1 yuan each (20 cents!). It didnt appeal to me though.
The sun sets really early there. it was about 7 when it was totally dark. The sun always set in an orange tone due to the pollution in the air. We made our way for dinner at some steamboat place nearby. I never realised my chinese was THAT bad! I felt really bad about myself cos i had to ask YunTing what Tim (tourgide) was saying most of the time! I got better by the end though. Well I'm gonna put more effort into my chinese next year. Its much more useful than Amaths in my choice of career. At the seafood place, YunTing and I borrowed 500yuan each for shopping during the trip. It was all we ever needed =P. We talked with each other and got to know each other better. Michelle's mum said that Andy liked YunYing who looked like a korean actress when she put on her hairband and pink sweater top thing. Whatever you call it.
We got back to the hotel. FuHua Hotel. Got a room with Marcus Koufu where he gave me a shirt that said "iPood". =P. We then practiced our songs in Andy's room particuarly country road. All in all it was a good day. The Knots of friendship between the group strengthened and we got more comfortable with each other. Thus was the end of the 1st day.

Rockface
The past week was boring. Only towards the weekend did it get interesting. Days spent having tuition and finishing the Emaths syllabus, playing the guitar, xbox and computer. Burning the midnight oil (not really) doing stuff to the blog and talking to people on msn. Also practicing "country road" for the China trip. I think Uncle Marcus is a bit too serious about it. He came over the other day with my acoustic fixed but he looked a bit tired as well. I think he's just been tired recently so thats why he's been a bit grumpy and not like himself.
Steph left for China yesterday morning for a long holiday. Called her up to wish her off. Sophie also left for Egypt the day before. So many people leaving for overseas this week. I'll be in China the whole of next week though. Coming back on friday and I'm going to spend the day blogging about it! What's more I'm thinking of writing a song there.
Today I officially joined genesis youth ministry. Got my bike fixed at uncle teck's place before that, had a drink with my dad and some of his friends, went home, ate lunch at VariNice, got changed at rushed to church. Was slightly late but Genesis is really cool. Jaslyn and gabriel were there and are the "senior ministers" of Genesis. Filled out a short form, talked a bit and got to know the Genesis people who are really cool! This time it was only Joan, Gericho, Gable, Rachel, Elizabeth and I as the new batch. Steph, Jac, Catherine and a few others are also joining but were unable to attend the meeting. After that, we went for mass. Joan, Jaslyn and I. Jerome joined us some time later. The rest of the genesis people went to get some katong laksa.
After mass, i called home but they told me to make my own way home so I stayed back for a while. We talked in the cathecists room and i am NOT going to elaborate on it. Let's just say that I was crucified in there. I made my way home soon after. Catching the bus 28 going back to bedok resevoir.
Perhaps this lesson has been repeated loads and loads of times but... We cannot really tell wether anything is a bad thing or a good thing. Climbing a rockface may seem like tough work but that sense of achievement when we reach the top is monumental. We should not be afraid when faced with a problem. If we fear it, when will we ever learn? Every step up that rockface that we face everyday is tiring but it will only get us closer to our goal. The top. When we fall, we would "know how to pick ourselves up" as quoted from batman begins. Imagine if halfway up that rockface, we give up. Would'nt it be a real pity? So close to reaching the top and then, we fail to spur ourself on past the different steps. This reflection has been repeated many times so it shouldnt be anything new.

Surreal Photography part 2
At Zhong San I met a couple of cool people i will be going to China with. Its a small group of like 6 but we are gonna be like VIPs. Greeted by the government etc. So much said, i still cannot pass my chinese. Hovering around 40ish. Still can speak tho everyone says its like Ang Moh learn Chinese kind of thing. ANYWAY on the 14th, in china, there will be this performance thing going on and ive got to get my acoustic guitar fixed. Its quite banged up now. Have to play "country road" =P then everyone will like sing or whatever. Its gonna feel really lame cos we are youth singing oldies and "chan mali chan". Then again thats what you get when you have a week to prepare for it and half the grp will be in hong kong from thursday onwards.
Every photograph we take stops time for that moment. To some it will be just smiles and poses. Beyond those teeth and happy eyes, is a moment frozen in paper. What we thought in that moment. What went through our mind, why were we smiling like that? Who is that girl in the brown shirt? Am I really hugging her? In that moment of flash and action, a whole story can be found. This is what makes it so unbelievable. In one moment, we are the subject. In another, we are looking at ourselves, recounting the minutes counting down to that flicker and flash. I suppose that's the magic of photography. Everything is captured. Thoughts, words, love, hope, emotion, time. Sometimes we will look back not at a piece of paper but at a window to the past. This happened at that exact time. No changing it. All our faces glued in still motion.
Try looking at a photograph. Try exploring it. Look out of the window of that piece of printed paper and find the story that resides outside.

Surreal Photography part 1
This weekend was quite busy and full for me. Until now that is. Last night we had to do canteen duty. Before that was xmas gathering meeting. Since only Jacintha, Sarah and Alan were present at the meeting, we decided to go get some Chng Tng at bedok food court. Got to know Jac who's a really nice person. Then we went back to Alans place and watched Knocked Up before heading to church at 7 for canteen duty. Met Joan and Cassandra there who eerily laughed as I greeted them. Then Steph came, talking on the phone. I was busy carrying Jacs balloon octopus btw. It had a large blue head and red tentacles. =P
Its amazing how girls can talk for so long and non-stop. Sure some teachers say guys in school talk alot as well but as i stood there, with a blue and red octopus in my hand, Joan, Steph, and Cassandra chitted and chatted. And chitted again. Even Gabriel was a bit astonished. So we went into the kitchen. Quite a number of people were there including Remus and JP. We defrosted, washed and then marinated chickens. Actually the marinating part was done by Steph and all but i did a bit of the rest. Joan could make it in life as a cake designer or something seeing how she arranged the chickens so neatly that Gabs commented that they were ready for urban warfare. We also washed and peeled some vegetables, ate dinner, dirtied clothes, and talked before we were done. Then we had a meeting on what to do today. Ended up staying there till about 10ish b4 the 3 girls left. Steph went back to bedok res, Cass took a bus back to tampines and Joan and I took 24 back to Tanah Merah. We talked. Then at the bustop, it took 40 mins for bus 14 to come. Ended up reaching home at 1110.
Woke up at about 6 today. Got changed and made my way to church. Was super early. The aunty who was supposed to open up the place for us wasnt even there yet so Gabriel, Brandon, JP, Eman, and a few others hung out. When the aunty finally came, we went in and started setting up the stuff. I set up the kueh lopez and soon became the kueh lopez man. Steph and Cass came at arnd 8. Helped me out by selling siew mai and Fishballs. Made a calculation mistake that 3 siew mais costed 2.40 but it actually costs 1.80. Gabriel then gave Steph permission to pinch me the number of cents i went off by. Then i cant remember, but she got the chance to pinch me 30 times. It was really fun tho. Tried to oil Stephs face, bought chin chow, took a few phots, sold a few dozen kueh lopez's, and it was 930. Time for me to go meet PoPo at kembangan to go to ZHONG SAN WUI GUAN.

Flashback
Today is the 30th of November. 2007. Something has happened in my family just recently that I will not share here. Then again, i will be grateful for it because in the long run, it will bring happiness if all goes well. The week has been pretty boring except for this piece of news that i recieved just at dinner. Monday was spent at the park, Tuesday was spent thinking about monday, Wednesday was spent dreaming, Thursday was spent tuitioning, and today was spent pretty much on everything. 8.30 in the evening and there are 2 things on my mind. My family and a few special friends of mine.
I'm starting to think more about others since Con3 camp. I set myself a goal in life. To make others feel happy. Feel peace and love. That was why i wanted to become a film director. Since many people watch films to pass the time, hang out, I shall make films for people. Hopefully providing some sense of insight, happiness and love for my viewers. If that does'nt work, I would try my luck in the music business with whatever band i may have. I pain when i think about the pains others are going through. During sharings in the camp, I did keep a few trivial problems to myself because I realise that my problems are nothing compared to what my friends had.
A quick look back on my life. I had my first crush when I was 11 years old. A young age for a boy. I cant remember her face now. Let alone what she is doing for the time being. It was a leadership camp. The first I have ever attended. I remember claiming best camper award for that camp. It did feel good. Then, I fell out of the crush. It was a year before i felt again. PSLE was on it's way and i had just rejoined the faith. She was in cathecism class and was also the most beautiful girl i have ever met IMO. She's changed though. Not the same anymore. I remember NOT studying for PSLE, having my first fight, having my best friends go against me, had little faith, geeky and basically no life when i was 12.
Sec 1 came alot of new things. New school, new responsibilities, new girl in my life, new friends, new house, new cricketing skills. New everything. I cut my initially long hair short and has been since then. I was still crap in chinese and we were all very naive back then. We could take over the world in our dreams. That is if my dreams werent filled with a girl i had a huge crush on for the rest of the year. I met her in Con1 camp. Honestly, I dont really want to talk about it.
Sec 2. What a year. besides getting straight As for doing close to minimum (homework), I also adopted a new attitude. I was going to break out of my borders. I soon became a guy no one would have recognised. No longer shy, no longer geeky, no more late nights fantasising about things that would never happen. I made my best friends in this year. John, Lisa, and a few others to mention. I drew back and kicked hard at life. Turns out it worked. Also increased my spiritual life here. LOM was soaring for me and alot of other things were going well. Though i admit, i DID have another crush here.
Sec 3. This year. I have mixed feelings about this year. Firstly, studies were a bummer. Besides increasing study pace by 100x which really isnt much, i still only managed to scrape through triple science and double maths. Whats the point of studying this stuff anyway? I'm not gonna be a computer guy or a biologist at any rate. I wished i took literature. It felt so much better doing that. Then again, this year was a great year in the social and spiritual circles of my life. My best friends, half of them i realised were girls. I was a peer leader, and I became a cathecist in church. A lot happened so far this year. Too much to account for. Maybe one day i wiil write a whole post on this year. All in all, I feel good now if a bit emotionally tired.
There are so many things I have to be thankful for. A wonderful family, A wonderful group of friends who i can rely on, fantastic days in my life, love, peace. As i look back on the shore, I see how many footsteps have been made. Each pair side by side. The number of people that have joined me in this magnificent journey. I can only hope that when i look to my side, they will all be there. Wearing smiles on their faces. Each with their own journey to make. And I know not all will be here when the time comes for their journey to take them somewhere else. So all i can do, is to treasure them now. Treasure the footsteps left behind before the tide washes it all away.
For all whom have influenced me, thank you. You make the difference that means so much to me. Thank you. Grazie.

Lifetime (part 2)
We went cycling yesterday. I cycled all the way from home. Went pass bedok camp, took the dodgy underpass after cycling 1km eastbound, went all the way to macdonalds only to find that i'm the first one there. Christine and Grace came next followed by Ryan and Jerome, then Joel, Catherine, Gericho, Gable, Eugene, Uncle Gabriel and last but not least, Cassandra, Steph, and Joan. It rained and gabriel was a walking mop. Which had jus mopped up the rain so a walking mop isnt a good thing. Made a lake in macs. The rain easedoff once the 3 girls came so we went off cycling. Was cycling aufully close to Steph half the time. So i decided to play and swerve left and right. Made her nervous =P It eventually knocked her off her bike. I was cycling not doing anything, tho a bit close, then she crashed into my side. Fell on her side, her bike was all over her. Felt bad after that. We were at bedok jetty b4 that. Just talking. It was a very talkative cycling session. Told her abt my parents' divorce and all that. She took to it pretty well i think.
Cassandra looked very nervous on the bike. I mean she wasnt like wearing that gleaming smile she always had. Stopped at lagoon for a quick drink b4 bringing the bikes back. Grace couldnt ride so she had a double bike with gabriel, who later swapped with jerome for his own bike to chase after Eugene, whom i beat 3 times in 3 different races. =P Then we went bowling. I didnt join in cos it was already 420. Steph left followed by gable. Then I left at 430. Joan accused me of leaving early cos steph wasnt there anymore. grrr.
I suppose life is like a long cycling trip. When we first start off, we are so unconfident in whatever we do with the bike. So we need help from others. After a while we get a bit more confident and explore new ways to cycle. Once in a while we will meet new partners willing to journey with us. Some for long, some for short, some for the rest of the trip. Like life when we make friends. Some will be easily forgotten yet some will remain in our hearts forever. Sometimes these friends may be a nuiscance and try to play with you, knocking you off ur bike. Then they will turn around and attend to your wounds. Some wounds will not be healed, some will but in the end, it wil be a learning experience so that we dont make the same mistake again. When we meet that special companion in our journey, We would want to spend the rest of the time with that person and do whatever it takes to make that person happy. We can also teach him or her how to ride better and probably ask him or her to become a cycling partner. When that person does, you know you will never be alone in life.
The scenery and the people we meet is just one representation of what life can be like. Taking the path less taken will bring us places we would have never seen and meet people many would never have met. We take rests to cool down and have a chat. Sometimes the chat is special to that person and you would have gained a follower. When u reach the destination, look back on the cycling trip. Has it been worth your while? Have you chronicled a moment that would come only once in a lifetime.

Lifetime (part 1)
I had con3 camp about a week ago. I went there expecting to meet new people and have fun, i ended up in touch with GOD. It was at CAYC. again. Nothing much new except that the adoration room looked really nice. On the first day, we had a skit in which so many consequences would occur. GOD was a girl as well. =P ANYWAY, after the skit, we had camp food lunch i think. What came after was the journey thing. kinda like a scavenger hunt but for instances of GOD. Steph must be the only girl who has the ability to be MORE spontaneous than I am. First hugging me on stage, the running all over the place talking in chinese to random ppl asking for their photo to complete our game. We had a few sharings but the details will remain undisclosed because some of it might be sensitive subjects to others. Steph left on the 2nd night tho. After the last sharing. Then there were footprints. Like a huge sharing session where i cried. I think i cried for those who cried in the sharings. I once said that I had the inablilty to cry for others but in the end, i did. For 3 ppl who had the courage to cry in front of strangers. I really felt for them. Honest. When u are right beside a person when they cry, u can feel their pain. I could. It formed a lump in my throat. After that, I fully devoted myself to GOD and to my aim in life to make people feel happy.
The days following the camp were good. I talked to group members like joan, got to know them better. I had tuition for 4 days and thomas gave me a crap study schedule which i dont think i will, CAN, follow. Then Alan came to me asking me to form a committee for a christmas party on the 21st of dec. So i called all he IKEA members back to my place and we had a meeting on saturday. Sarah Liew and Joel De Cruz was there as well. So we had our meeting and I got ino a fit of laughter again after so long. After the meeting on the function room, we went to my place and 10 ppl, crampedup in my room, talked. I remember where most of them sat. Steph and Joan were nearest the door, Cat and Gericho were sitting by the cupboard, Gabriel was almost under my table, Keown was on my bedside with joel and a few others. Then we had dinner at the hawker centre where Steph joan, keown and I gobbled up a pizza and a few satay sticks. We made our way to church for youth mass soon after. I kept suddenly stopping in front of the 2 girls so steph tried to push me into the drain =P
Met Steph's dad that night. She offerend a ride back to dad's place cos i had no idea how to get back via the church. How nice of her.
Since this post is getting long,i will publish part 2 later today.

Arrows - Lyrics
This is a song that I had in my head a couple of months already. It's basically about being there for loved ones. The first line, represents the action of asking for help. Like arrows being fired into the sky and its wielder having faith that it wil hit it's target. This shows that we will fly for as long as it takes to "see your smile" because to me, that was my target. If my speakers were'nt busted, I'd gladly record it for you but for now, it's just between a few ppl who have heard it already. Funny thing is, they didnt know. haha
So whatever interpretation you have for my song, I hope you can relate to it as it did to me. Of course it has to relate to me its my song =P. Enjoy!
Verse
Shoot me straight into the sky
Let me join the falling stars
Soaring slowly through the clouds
Cities flying past
Chorus
On and On…..Through the Sun
Across horizons… Till im done
Verse
Feathers Floating in angry skies
Arrows, Flying across the seas
Got the apple on my head
Gliding past the fields
Chorus
Ill be carrying on… I will run
On and on… through the Sun
Flying on… for you love
Across horizons… Till im done.
Bridge
You know what’s my target
Don’t you know what’s my target
I pray that the sun shines in you eyes
I just want to see your smile…
So whatever interpretation you have for my song, I hope you can relate to it as it did to me. Of course it has to relate to me its my song =P. Enjoy!

Searchlight
Today i travelled halfway round Singapore to help thomas, my tennis coach cum tutor, in a small tennis tournament. I was to be ballkid co-ordinator and basically, a helping hand. So it was just a quadrangular round robin tournament and the inactive players and a few other people were to be the ballkids. Ive had minimal ballkid training when they were seacrching for some for the Austailian Open back in 2006. I didnt make it though but I still remember a bit. It was fun. Earned me $20 too. This $20 was used to top-up my EZlink and donated the other 10 to the drug abuse thing. Just came back actually.
Halloween is also on the way. I will find it very hard to get home now since the whole entrance is blocked off by purple glow-in-the-dark "cobwebs" bought from toys-r-us. I wonder how that ties in with me being the phantom of the opera though... haha. Other things happening are the PLTC next week and... well nothing much else. The school robbed us off 1 week of school holiday, making us come back for remedial classes and having to sit for an Amaths retest... damn.
Earlier today I was on the MRT and I saw something quite... thought-provoking. There was this reasonably young chinese family stuck in the crowded car with a pram and a baby with an older child about 3 years old. The baby in the pram was making quite a lot of noise and there were mixed reactions from the crowd. Some of the older people wanted the baby to shut up by the expression on their faces. Some purposely looked in that "tch" manner. Majority of the train tried to keep their cool. Some of the youth had that "awwwww" expression on their faces too. But that wasnt the point.
Now the family was quite a happy family and the dad was trying to keep the baby silent, giving both children a biscuit in a wrapper. the Mum was on the seat and seeing her husband trying to take care of her 2 offspring, held out her hand for the older child. This is the part. The young one probably thought that her mother wanted the biscuit but Mum just wanted her alone.
Sometimes we spend so much time searching for something to help another person feel happier, feel better. We spend so much time on it that sometimes, we forget what we are really doing. The drug guy did ask for a donation but probably, what he really needed was probably, just my attention. The donation might have been a plus. Its like we're carrying these huge searchlights, looking for something but that something, might just be what we already have, what we already can do. What some people really want, is us. Not our money. I learnt that giving, is not being generous in gifts and money, but to be generous in our heart. What we really need, is already here with us to give. So, I turn off my searchlight.

Unspoken Words of Joy
Halloween is coming up soon. Farhan's coming over but i still cant tell whether i should be Phantom of the Opera or Zorro. Phantom is clasier but zorro is cooler... plus Holly bought me the phantom thing already so i dont wanna dissapoint her. Then again I also have a Zorro hat... I think i'll be Phantom. "the shortest Phantom the world has ever seen" =P
I went out with Sophie yesterday. We initially wanted to watch "balls of fury" at suntec but it wasnt sowing anymore and marina had it at 1125. We met at 11 i think and went to eat "pepper lunch". Pretty cool they give it to you on a hot plate and it sort of cooks itself. Original. However, we did not finish our lunch quickly enough so no balls of fury for us. In the end we just watched the shortest but one of the most original movies ever, Mr. Woodcock. It's pretty cool and i wont spoil it for you. It was an... empty cinema except for an indian family with restless children. Then on the way back, i was on the 2nd level of a double-decker bus and there was this couple sitting on the other side of the back seat from me who were like making out and all that. It's still nothing compared to what Farhan saw though...
So i went home, played my guitar hapilly for a while and suddenly, BOOM! my temperature skyrocketed. I checked with Sophie if it had anything to do with pepper lunch but she was fine. So the next hypothesis was that my sore-throat had become a throat infection. Then I started sniffing and sneezing like nobody's business. SO i got a really bad runny nose and a throat infection. Didnt go to school today. Fever is more or less gone though. A few relapses but it was fine. Stayed at home the whole day today. Never even stepped out. The most i got was sticking my head out of the window.
That was about one of the only interesting things that happened these past few days i suppose. Unless you count cathecism but that was'nt very eventfull. Well Sarah (the P1 kid im teaching) is having her exams this thursday. Im quite worried for her though. Never thought I'd be but I am. Then again she's only P1 there isnt much to be worried about.
Have you ever had the feeling when you just wanted to hug someone or do something really nice for somebody but you didnt know how or didnt dare? So we just kept our mouths quiet and somehow the message gets across? Sometimes even the most quiet people can read out to you an essay of what he or she is feeling just by an action or by saying a few simple words. Maybe thats the reason why some people can be so quiet at times. It's a bit like a telepathic ability we all have. Unspoken words of joy that we speak not by tongue but by action. We can be so happy but wont know how to show.

The Aftermath of the End is Another Beginning...
I got my results back today. Not very good though some subjects, 2 actually, i was quite proud of myself. 1, chinese. I broke my streak. Instead of getting 20+ like I did for the rest of this year, I got 42. Which is a significant improvement. Whats more, i got 24 for my oral which is better than most. So im proud of that too. Another subject I really liked was E maths where I got 80.2 marks. The highest in class was like 97-ish...
What I could'nt understand was why I did so badly for A maths and Physics. These are the only 2 papers I actually studied for yet, I only got 60 for Physics and my chinese beat my A maths... Physics was... well it was a disaster there was like one whole page or so where i got all wrong, and yet i didnt manage to finish the paper. A maths was... well its just full of crap. I got like one mark here, one mark there and it was all because of carelessness. Thomas (tutor) said that its ok that it happened. Wakes me up to study even more. So now , all I have to do is study 3 hrs a day next year, and pay loads of attention in class.
Other subjects include stuff like Bio (56), Chemistry (62), Combined Humanities (48). Comb Hum was another crap one but i dont have many regrets. SS had a wierd strict marker. 67-ish for EL. This has to be my worst compo ever. 22. Besides that, I think its time I got my act together and started working especially on A maths and Comb Hum. Physics will come naturally, I just tripped.
Sarah, the p1 kid im tutoring, is having her exams next week. Have to go there tomorow at 330 to 5. Quite a lot to put on a P1 kid but I suppose shes not very good in maths and comprehension. Her composition is on standard with others considering she's only 7. She's getting better in Maths though. Her EL is ok she just need to know how to infer.
For the past few days we've been playing soccer in the black hole. Abel, Dan, and.. Jin Jun or whatever is "Chuck" and the rest, including me, are the Acorns! Apparently, Abel says im a really good goalie but its hard to be goalie cos there isnt much space to run and the goal is huge anyway. I like playing on the field. Can dive. Michael, my brother, and Joshua are gonna try out for SSS cricket team so I have to train them some time soon if they wanna get anywhere.
Right now, quite a number of my friends are going through significant times in their lives. People like John and Lisa. Maybe Holly's also going thorugh i dont know but she was quite emo today. Sophies doing fine I hope. A lot of things happening this end of the year. Alot of beginnings and endings, here and there. Then again, I suppose that we should'nt be too scared of the ending of anything in our lives because after an end, is a beginning of another thing. It may be good or bad but we can never really tell can we? Perhaps like an earthquake, after an earthquake, there is a chance for people to renew their lives. Or maybe when our hopes are crushed when we break up with somebody, perhaps someone else you might have better chemistry with will be there with you and who knows?

Wordless Radio
Well the exams are finally over. A maths was a killer, Physics was really hard and im not exceptionally good in Chemistry either though I thought it was ok. Bio was easy but ill most probably only get like 60 or so out of it. Besides that the reat were OK. There's no school tomorow and i intially wanted to go out but nevermind. SO instead, Ill be going out on Sunday. That will be after the results and all that. I really pity all those people who mugged so much but did badly. Its like eating crabs. Work so hard and get very little.
I went for some forest adventure thing on Saturday in bedok resevoir. Quite impressive actually. 2hr long course and its worth it. Yoou should go. Its a bit inward though so you have to look out for it. Dad lent me his old camera too so ill most probably be using it some time soon. Which reminds me...
Dad is starting his cycling trip round Malaysia to Celebrate the good stuff up there. You can keep up with him in his Blog "Celebrate Malaysia" which is already a link. I wonder how many people actually went there so far... But guys please do support him. Just go to the blog and read up. Im sure it wont kill to spare a wee bit of your time.
Sometimes the emotions we feel can be very unexplainable. Its like a song without lyrics. You know how the song goes but the lyrics cant be fit in. Like a classical song. Sometimes we feel like screaming out loud what we feel but we dont know how to say it. Maybe the loudest people are really actually shy on the inside but they want to hide it so they try to be something theyre not. Thats how i feel i think. Like a wordless radio. Willing to be so loud when i can only be so soft. Well im hoping the lyrics for "Arrows" will be finished soon.

Take 2, Genesis
Today is the day just before the exams. Tommorow is chemistry and geography so i definately am not looking forward to it. However, If the exams are to ever end, it would have to start first right? Its like starting a relationship with someone. We work so hard at it but in the end, half of them fail. Quite Ironic isnt it. What we want to last long doesnt but what we feel wont last takes a lifetime to end. I suppose everything has their beginings and endings. Maybe in the future things will last longer.
Ok yesterday was a wierd day. In the evening, Mum, Nick and I went to China Square (I think thats what its called) and we watched one of the best rugby games ever. England vs Australia. We met up with uncle Vib and met a few of his friends. At Bisous there was a Bollywood gang function crap thing that hindered us from getting our beloved rugby game on the big screen. Furthermore, there were soccer junkies and all that gay crap watching football. Man U vs Wigan. Man U won 4-0 by the way fortunately. We're further up now. ANYWAY, so while tearing through bangers and mash, the big shadow himself (uncle Vib) took a stroll to look for other places and came across kazbar.
So we sat, I had a chandy and we were talking. And then we were talking about how the people there were all connected. See there was this other guy, who apparently played rugby with uncle vib before in england. Then they lost contact for a really long time until they met in a bar in SINGAPORE. What a coincidence apparently the other guy was ordering a drink and uncle Vib immediately recognized him. But the oher guy wasnt sure because.... well uncle Vib got REALLY big since their teens. The other guy recognized the voice but it was "coming out of this huge thing"...
So England beat Austrailia but New Zealand was beaten. I dont know wether to rejoice or weep. I really loved New Zealand but i really wanted Austrailia to be out too. But now since both New Zealand and Wales are out, I suppose I just have to go with the St. George's Cross. Englands playing France next. And Fiji and S.A. er... now. So the end of the trip for NZ but... We'll be back mates.... we'll be back...
I wonder what people think about relationships. Many say that its love etc. blahblahblah but end up breaking up in like 5 months. For some special people they are really Sincere to stay true and continue on the journey they began. At this age i think, Its hard to tell between love and infatuation. Are we REALLY in love? Of course we MAY be but will we ever know? Perhaps we will only know when the time comes. For me... that time Might have come I don't know yet for sure.

Deep Breath Before the Plunge
Exams are coming up in like 3 days and here i am "de-stressing". Apparently, St Pats starts exams a week later than other schools. Sophie's exam is almost done, Temasek Sec and Chai Chee are also having exams cos the bus passes them everyday and i dont see them much. Then again I suppose that just gives us more time to prepare for the exam.
Been studying more than I ever have in my whole life recently. Just did a physics MCQ part after doing an Emaths paper AFTER school. Ok fine i took a long break in the middle trying. Ok heres the course of the meal...
on friday we have appetizers : Chinese Paper baked with compre and compo.
for second appetizer its.....: Chemistry Soup with a dash of molar quantities.
Then comes the main course...: Medium rare Emaths paper 1 steak with AMaths-agetti with a genoerous helping of fried geographical features. Comes free with a serving of Social Studies with leafy bio greens.
At last, Dessert ............: Physics flavoured Ice-Cream with Emaths Paper 2 sprinkles.
Kinda hard to digest huh? But thats life i suppose. Full of plunges and deep breaths. Now that the exams are so close, teachers are laying off on the teaching bit. Letting us "revise" So things in school have relaxed a bit. Its not like every thursday is killer day anymore. Next week it will be though. Amaths and Bio on the same day. That really sux. There are plenty of Plunges I think im going to take this month. Or at least this holiday. Im gonna have my first live performance, Im gonna go to china and speak chinese all day to chinese people, Im gonna go for a confirmation camp for 3 days which has very unpredictable consequences and the list goes on....
Well i suppose if life doesnt have its plunges into water, we will never know whats down there right? We will never know what really lies on the seabed of our spirits. So heres to a "deep breath" *toast!* Its like running a race. If we dont run, we might never know wether we will get 1st. Or like writing a song. U'll never know if its good until u play it to others. Or maybe ur first love even. You'll never be with her if u dont do anything about it.
So put on ur diving gear and lets get plunging!

A Lazy Susan turns one round.
I just had my english exam recently. It was really a dejavu kind of thing. The Composition had that one word thing that i explained in a very chim way. It was on stress and on the spot, i made up a fable. There was once a scientist and a painter. The king of the country asked the scientist to create something for him so the scientist tried everything to make it great but failed misserably and created something he didnt even know what it did. Then there was a painter. He was no one big but one day, he decided to paint something. So he drew the country as an apple in the pupil of the eye. The king saw this and immediately fell in love with the painting. The moral of the story is, sometimes, stress comes because we rue the activity and are pressured to suceed so much that we miss focus on what we are really doing.
Oral exams were a little different. I think i sort of failed for my picture conversation cos it was... well its really stupid. It was a group of people in a HDB carpark staring into blank space, all looking very dazed. And the question was, what do you think they are looking at... I was like.. wtf?? ok i didnt say that but i felt like it.
Before the exam on thurday there was exam mass. Conducting the choir is a real challenge when 2 of them have no confidence in ur conducting and u have guitarists and an organist under your beat... which i still have to work on. It was good fun though. After that, JJ, steven and I were jamming on a guitar and doing all sorts of crap and stuff. For PLTC, Im worried for Nicholas because he's not the strongest drummer and im afraid that he would screw up even though i know i shouldnt. So we are resticted to simple drumming songs to play. So steven suggested that instead of playing all the songs as a band, we can do our own solos. Then Zack had his missconfidence in our leadership qualities but i dont listen to him anymore. I think hes just making excuses to get things done his way so... yea.
Earlier today we had combined cat class. Quite a few people didnt turn up that day including Christopher Tee and others left earlier. John was there though and so was Mitch. What made me have flashbacks was when Kimberly came. Ok i dont like her anymore. She's like 2 yrs history already. Still she looked very good today. I suddenly remembered what it was like to be infatuated and i thought about the days in sec 1 when i was geeky and afraid of girls at that point. Somehow it made me think about the wonders God has done. I mean I ahve changed so much since sec1. So much till some people like Charles cant accept the change. I was sitting with Mitch and Jerome and Yeti. Just like the old times. Now, since so much has changed, I dont think i will ever have that feeling anymore. Maybe i did once earlier this year. Sometime in March but it wasnt the same. Maybe it was better. For now, I plan to lay low for a while. Just see where the Lazy Susan turns to again. And when the chance comes, take my chopsticks and lash out at the food.

How to Stop a Nuclear Leak
This is the 1st post am I correct? so... yea. I just thought a blog will help me keep my mind off things and keep things in check too. Just for fun cos my old blog is alr quite dead and since im sec3, there'll be much more to write abt.
So today is the 25th of september. 2 more days to Exam mass. I have a feeling that some of the choir guys have a grudge against me or something. I know im not the best conductor but im trying right? Well I really think im falling behind in things. Im supposed to be choir master and i havent really gotten things done yet. And i think Mr Ng is blind too. This morning i walked pass him twice and he never acknowledged me. I also think hes pissed at me for not being on task but whatcha want me to do when exams are like 2 weeks away and the teachers dont really give much a care abt revision anyway.
Yea Ms Teo is alr on Binomial even though its not tested, Ms Chen is being... Ms Chen and Mrs Ong is like... well she can be nice sometimes, but usually shes quite anal and irritating. English is this friday and im really... nervous for my oral exam. We havent had english oral in a really long time and i really dont like the idea of having to describe a picture to someone. Feels very unatural. Oh then theres letter writing... Oh damn thats a killer. Imagine if exam papers were like transformers and suddenly jumped up at you as it folded itself into a lean mean killing machine.
Im gonna watch the Bee Movie with Sophie and a few others after exams. And Abel still owes me 100 bucks and a movie ticket in that stupid bet he took abt not getting the PLTC form. Poor abel. He wants to bring me out after exams gold class. well ill let him do what he wants really. =P Lisa's on a plan and John's thinking a lot. Sophie and gang might just be going crazy on exams but hey, So am I.
Lol the nuclear leak gets bigger as megan has been diagnosed with a low white blood cell count. So basically, if u study bio, u should know what WBCs do. Yea my sisters really... sick sort of. I mean she isnt vomiting or anything which is good. Last night I had a really bad gastric. I woke up at lie 130 rubbing my tummy thinking itll go away and half having a dream abt elements like fire and all that. after a while, I got up andgot that rubbing thing. then i took sintacid. And for a while it was fine then i threw up my dinner. It was most probably from that spoilt mooncake mum brought home that night. cept that i didnt know it was spoilt. O well.
So that was MY nuclear leak. So rule 1, dont ever trust mooncakes more than 4 days old. Rule 2, sintacid works. Rule 3, Dont think too much. You might just go crazy over girls or exams and all that. and then eat >4 day old mooncake and get gastric problems.
I wonder how everyone is doing right now. I hope Sophie doesnt go crazy like Jfm did the other day. And I hope john and lisa's plan works, whatever they may be. And I hope i dont get gastric tonight. I actually prayed during reccess over chicken rice that it wont give me gastric problems. Cos it did look pretty oily. Anyway Im working on the next new song, Arrows. My blog sub head is one of the lines. Well some will know who its about really. Well guys, whichever way u wanna stop a nuclear leak, make sure it stops.
~Cheers~
