my title. i want it.
life is like a oreo.
(ok. philosophy me dying to leap out from within.)this is gonna be long.
embrace urselves.
u have 2 hard layers n 1 soft spot, protected.
ppl might juz want to break them into 1/2.
ur fate- determined.
horizontally/ vertically?
horizontally: easy, but comes with sacrifices. who takes the one with the cream?
vertically: difficult, bits crumble off. but equal, fair share.
is this analogy good?
i bet it is. i got inspired by the oreo tin my sis actually got me.
i mean like.. u break things, unsightly, horribly, messily the outcome might not as be as the the process.
the battle of the sexes.
is the male species of a more dorminant figure? egoistic yet pathetic?
is the female species of a more demure figure? sensitive yet breakable?
words from here never makes sense.
i twist and turn
i twist and turn again.
till thy dust on the table gets misplaced-.
go infere. u might juz be right. hars.
euphemism (learnt it from gland. decided to accept his testimonials coz its too chim anyways.)
to be frank and as well, get u back on track,
i am feeling all the mixed feelings u can ever think of.
(excludes: ashamed, embarassed, pity) yea.-can't think of more at e moment.
u know what.
to be tied in a sitution is a blesssing
u can quote me on that.. like "to be tied in a sitution is a blesssing - Marian Poon"
seriously. i'f u think i'm angry, irritated, happy, sad, stupid, clever, high, low, afraid, nervous.... u're hoho-ly right. they come in different percentages though. see i'm still able and in a mood to crap.
i feel that the world should juz suffer suffer and suffer... if that's the key to appreciation and thanksgiving.
when u are so easily brittle. i q: "how to survive ar?"
TO BE OPEN HERE OK.
to be frank.
MSN Display Names
its becoming a one-line (read again, its not e word online) bloggin session. i'm serious. i, myself admit. ppl put all sorts.. to juz make known of how they are feeling. nicely put it,expressive. not nicely, attention seeking.
hey hey. i admit myself too k. in life, tell me who has nv attempted to seek attention.. (besides the baby--kiddish times)
look.
poon.marian.// - ? ROAR MARIAN ROAR
nice and neat isn't it?
no one said life was easy.
no one said life on earth is going to be easy.
so, what say u?
i hereby repeat myself, what say YOU?
seriously. this post ain't easy. i won't classify my situation as a problem. coz ever since blah blah blah.. smth for me to realise, a promlem lies within urself. plainly how u read it.thus, i can happily dsay that i am problem-fee until i fight with myself from within. agreeable?
so... back to the point.
this post is ain't easy.
here i am, trying to target at 2 ppl worlds apart. u can include more ppl if u want. (suddenly thought of the Jenga blocks... UNOstacko too colourful.. coz life ain't that colourful)
ok. its like unfolded. haha no, u did not read wrongly. using, post with deep meanings refer to ppl. up to u to decipher.
i recall ms mabel chia, SAJC Vice-principle... saying smth.. like "when i tap the girl's shoulder, immediately she said 'ok.. sorry ms chia', without even me telling her what's wrong"
-Sajc girls can testify this (taken from the discipline talk session with girls only.. the day i crashed in)
next point.
the heart.
boys VS girls.
issit scientifically proven that BOYS are stronger emmotionally? i believe that in all cases of expriments, there bound to have some exception.(like those graph with 'out' readings. forgot wads e term)
seriously. the whole new era is evolving. rapidly.till gays and butches are seen.
ahhaha. and again.. from ms mabel chia, "sometimes i even wonder to myself, the confuse confuses the confuse and now there's a big confusion" in the same context: genders loosing their identity.
horrifying
terrifying isn't it?
can't the world juz behave themselves and be gracious?
see i target 2 points and more.
haiz
God sent His Son to die on the cross.
how else more gracious can He get. He's already done like extreme and yet, as pathetic, disobedient, ungrateful humans, we've disappointed Him.
Come on man, make Him smile.
wanted to like typed out some lines of my current blog song.. but.. haha. all seems too significant.
Best Of You
Artist : Foo Fighters
I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you
Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess

Oh...
Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh...
Has someone taken your faith?

You trust, you must

super poon. haha!
today, i saved the day.
haha. and i am going to brag about it, publically, proudly. HAHAS.
okok. today was juz swimming with jas and then banner with char, eve and jas.. then we headed for dinner. haha. (ez day huh). haha. and i bought a pair of cool jeans.
we went to bugis. this cafe..its the $2 float one. hahaa. seriously. am v excitied to go there for the float. we ate there. cool lar.. $5 for dinner.. quite high class and its like pp81(if u didn't know.. its the potong pasire coffeeshop) kinda pricing. so yea. cool. like yu pian mi fen lar... and u get like spagettie. cool ar.
so after we ate, being usual hungry ppl, we got ourselfve choc. cake. its like whoa. heavenly lar. not too sweet not too honkhonk.. juz just nice.
then then.. this part comes...
a couple was finding the girl's diamond pendan. they were searching high and low.. then eve and i decided to go and save the day, seeing them searching so.. erm.. alot-ly. haha. so we got up of our chair and discussed on how to... erm.. approach them. haha.
then.. ppl ard (the shop owners, basically), suggested to use dustpan. no way am i gg to sweep Bugis Level 2 in my SA PE shirt. haha. so yea. the gentleman, being the boyfriend took up the dustpan... while the 2 ladies cotinue searching. poor thing. she was wearing a skirt and low cut top. haha..
so happily, 10 mins passed. meanwhile, our choc cake was mealting happily away.. we had supporters k.. aahah. char and jas.
in our minds.. we're thinking.. hahaha
- like in the show, 'just for laugghs'; we might be one of the victims.. haha.
- ok like amazing race kinda thing.. 'get 20 ppl to search for smth'
haha. all those crappy whacky ideas lar.
was fun.
LO AND BEHOLD I. i found it. ahahhahaa. it was at the corner. was walking walking.. then got myself cornered.. saw a metal piece nail like thing on the ground.. (found smth like that initially.. but was dismissed as a screw.).. stared at it...
embraced myself..
bent down...
hahhahaha. "I found it", proudly, i announced. ahha. char stood up to clap. ahhaha. the shop owners were like wah.. hahahahah.
felt so so so.. achieved
then happily n thankfully, they thanked us.. and we went back to our cafe and eat our choc cake.
haha. fun huh!
should have done some bet.. like whoever finds it..get the pendan or smth.
haha
these few days.. its been char, jas eve and i. haha. hilarious lar. seriously. i can't image gg out with kc friends. coz kc friends are so so home-ly-ish. like if me and sara go town or me and geraldyne.. it'll be wierd. ahha. not like wierd-wierd.. but we'll juz feel aimless. its best that kc friends and i get together, talk over food or smth. hahaa.
but seriously. theese few days.. 4 of us.. out out out man. haha. should make a grp shirt like "the poly awaits" or kinda thing.
but then again, as much as i want to be with my sa friends,... i would have ot go where my results takes me.
again. kinda regretted that i didn't band hard on sp's doors for biomed. science.. coz that's like nearer to psychology.. as compared to.. mechatronics. the goosebumps.
anyways. wilson's taking same course as me.. only that he's is in sp. so yea.
goonw miss my friends from sa gg on to sp. haha. sads huh.
welll. whole new chpt of my life unfolding itself. embrace lar. haha.
well. to end off..

Best Of You
Best Of You
Artist : Foo Fighters
I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you
Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Oh...
Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh...
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

night cycling!
whee. it was on a fri night...with church friends btw.
met in church at 9.15.. the do's and dont's coz its a grp of abt 25?.. a big grp.
grpings.. safety.. and most impty.. PRAYERS.
yea.
so we cycled around ecp from 1145-2am.. ate supper there.. and started out journy back to church which is at potong pasir..
quite fast. reached church at 3.25. the whole journey was really well monitored by the safety vehicle- Dennis and Adrian. with funny lightsticks sticking out.. ans Jasper who cycles up and down ensureing safety of drivers and all. haha.
all the time.. we're on pavements. yep. alot of traffic lights. one fear abt me is juz the sharp turns. hate those. haha. make me grip tighter.. i wore my gym gloves fearing that i'll blister my hands... so yea. thank God for those.
night cycling is shiok lar. the air nice. great time to fellowship.. importance of looking out... its like a must.. liked the whole experience. esp with 25 of us.
after that. in church. played e piano till morning.. so didn't slp excpet for a little break. and a 5min nap in the afternoon.
zobied.
till 3pm. haha. was games! ahha. we played freeze and melt yes. that game. aha was fun.. i actually ran, thinking that i'm too lazy to.. the 'freezers' won. they're a bunch of fast peeps. we also played Great wall of China. i'm bad at that. but was fun see thong, kenneth and zheng play. hahhahaah.
then yar. tired. went home, psycho myself to bathe b4 plooping on my bed n knoking out.
by then.. it was today! awesome sunday!
had probs waking up. hit my snooze clock 5 times.. total of 45mins waiting time. haha. luckily i set my alarm 1 hr earlier. hahahhaha. so i'm early for church! (: haha.
uber happy today can. seriously.
after service.. went to eat with alyssa, ryan. that and gang.. coz they're leving for America soon. pray for them. a great bunch. goona miss the whole family. their mum is also super nice. haha. then went out to hunt for my bag with char, eve and jas. haha. totaly. eve and jas were the ones ended up buying stuff. really fun bunch lar..
seeing them shop also very nice. haha.
then later.. bugis didn't have my hunted bag.. so went to tampinse.. coz sis say they had nice sg airlines bag there. found them. ahha. $30 bargained to $25! happy k. extra $$.. go bought a United live cd- United we stand. comes wif free note bk.. and a discounted price coz i'm a member owing to this aunty who sort of made me a member. haha.
really (: today. life was touched in almost every area.
today's msg is abt.. God's foolishness being wiser than ours. haha. Pastor said alot of funny stuff today. ahhaha. (:
hmmm.
this wk. kinda reflective for me. so much hustle n bustle. today.. Jasper led worship.. he shared abt this hectic wk.
looking back, i didn't realise that yea ar. this wk is hectic churchy wk. i'm enjoying every bit of it and yet.. not even realising that amt of time spent.
the boys had soccer camp on wed. so its an extra extra tiring day. ahha.
a general summary..
sun-tue.. creative-day camp prep + camp itself. 2 nites in church.
wed- sleep. collect bowling ball. then meet up with friend.
thurs- meeting.
fri- run. swim. cycle.
sat- games games games.
hahaa. active man. really happy happy happy. and u know wad. owe it to God's strength. i gues w/o it.. ahaha. man. dun wanna think abt it.
looking at 'new year resolutions 2006'.. haven been keepin up with some of them. one of the obvious one is the fire for God part.
i mean its like.. how often do we seek God out of obedience?
haha. honestly, this line suddenly pop out while i'm typping all these..
and honestly again.. smths, i seek God with i have 'the fire' for Him kinda thing. it shouldn't be. i've been taking things for granted.. smths even neglecting God's presneces. when my expectation is not met, i give excuses, owing to that urge to be comforted.
it shouldn't be.
this reminded me of daniel wong's prayer req on the prayer wall. "dear God, pls help us to full understand the meaning of taking up the cross and following Him"
he took us the cross. and to follow Him.. we still take for granted after all that He'd done, suffered and died.
ok. i'm not like doing some online preaching here.. but these are some urgent thoughts to all chirstians out there lar. bottom line: "what issit to follow Him?" its like... child-like-faith kinda q.. usually coming out from kids:
"did God created dinosaurs?"
"how do we knoe there's God?" "
why issit Jesus, a human?"
this kind of q.. smths.. ppl askk me. i feel guilty all over.. like unable to quote like how neale zheng and wong does. u know it.. but its the explaination part. u can't convince.
hahha.
okok. i've really kinda lost the focus of this post. but anyways. here's my 2cents and 5 bucks worth (ahah. owing to the retailer). keep prayg. He's not slow to prayer lar. juz in His time yea. in His time. (:
smth extract and not related.. made me think in their shoes and in the shoes od sportmen... from daryl chia's blog then from abel teo..
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.
You were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within you.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

alive.
i've decided to work hard.
to get back all my strength and press on full force.
like in wadeva i do. i promise to give my best. coz i think then i won't feel so sian.
seriously. friendster kinda rocks.
i mean its like sometimes.. when u feel lost or discouraged, go read ur testimonials. not narcissitic lar. it really lift ur spirits and help u get back runnning on track. same goes to blog archives.. as u read and read.. u realise that u're life is contanstly chaning. for me, the most outstanding change (besides the usage of language and proper paragraphings..) is the postiveness of a post.
haha. here's my 2 cents worth.
rarely that i blog in the mornings. gg for a mtng soon. tk yeas.
hope this post will give u solutions to whoever, whatever. (:

sajs creative camp 2006
whee.
sunday till today.. been in church. literaly camped there overnight, though it was a 2- DAY camp for the boys.
the kids we're dealing with is p2-p3. really cute bunch... but really really mischevious.
i've learnt alot. nonetheless its the gaining or experiences.. as well as little little pointers and reminders which seem to be distanting away from me. haha. its been long since i've been given such leadership task since the o levels.
all these kids. though its juz 2 days of 9hrs.. we were bonded. if they're older... would really want to probe into the little lives of theirs. imagine reading their blogs and all. 10 yrs down. these kids will be teenagers and all... and we are like whoaw. adults. hahha. well.. i'm waiting. its the photos and memoraries that i'm left with.
its one of the sajs camps that our church orgainses. and guess wad. i'm w/o any photo-taking gadgets (apart from my hp, which i dun really use to take photos). i've learnt alot juz from this. as a photographer, in a past, to really focus and experience the full camp as a camper is not easy. as in seriously. if u really want to have that so-called 'full experience', let go of that camera and quit thinking of taking nice memorable shots.
for me, these 2 days, i've been driven to that stage, with the loss of my ex-p700.
more of these 2 days camp.. i'm put into group 1. haha. love this group.. with my fellow leaders.. clarice, daniel and kevin. really can trust them in whatever lar.. like if i gotta see to smth urgent or impt.. i can juz leave the grp w/o worries. kinda different from school. and then.. my group.. WON! HARS. the point system thing. but seriously, from my sincere heart.. my grp really deserved it. coz they're really an obedient bunch. a concrete 'proof' would be the scrap bk.. they wrote down many points abt what they've learnt. (:
in general. the biggest thing, to me as a personal self that i've learnt. is perspective & experience.
once again. these 2 factors have struck me in terms of 'leading' or any event which involves unity with ppl coming from diff places.
its a challenge that is always there.. even u grow up up up.... its like.. u can explain stuff but its juz difficult to put into action.
anyways. enough of this camp thing. juz wanna give glory to God from protecting evy little child and ppl running the whole event. thank God also for the SJC ppl who came. really admire them for their courage.
i miss the sajc ppl.
i miss the bowling team.
come to think of it. between KL and creative camp... a tough choice for me.. but i guess it'll be the creative camp. touching lives is in a way.. somewhat given more priority.
juz pray for God's grace to allow us to keep in contact yea. dun wanna miss such great bunch.
there's so much things i want u guys out there to know. but abt lazy and tired to type so much as it involves alot of explaination, twitst and turns, lar dee dah..
if i create poem.... haha, maybe i will. ahha.
i'm like 16 already.
paths are taken.
lives are touched.
roads are woalked.
uptil today, i still have out-of-the-blue friends msging me. like today.. joel chan, my pri sch classmate who loves to bully me and taking photo of girls, msged me.
last 2 months. amy chan. long-lost friend, parted with alot of stuff.. wrote me an emaiL! haha. (love it when singapore's small huh).
whatever it is... i still have friends out there. i'm not driving to any point. juz wanna share this split second of sheer realisation and urgency.
touching lives.
i'm sure, everyone in their own ways have touched someone lives. u may or may not know it. but u have. that's a fact. ppl rmrbr it.. but u dun know. u do not need to know either.
hmmmm. then it comes to it.
BGR.
in this so called boy-girl relationship.. what's more important?
- deep, true, crazily sincerely in love despite so much differences which can cause much disagreements... OR.
- juz able to work well and hold no barriers but less 'feel' in that sense. (hmm. dun really know how to put the feeling part into proper explaination)
for me? HARS. ????
then again. i'm 16. what's the rush. what's the hurry.
to a point.. where i'm back to that man-who-needs-a-guy now. ppl like Joanne. *salute.
-
tangled strings,
broken wings.
twisted vines,
injured minds.
often we do say yes, we do understand,
but how often are we able to withstand?
application comes into that thought process,
but ultimately, what is the measure of one' success?
writing poems is like another route of escape.
meanings are hidden but yet raped.
in attempts to read in-between the lines,
there are high possibilities of commiting a seroious crime.
there's no flow in my current poem now.
poetic liscense will always gain that crown.
but seriously, it does defines something..
which might require some serious seaching.
enough of trying to redeem myself,
coz seriously, how many of u know thyself?
this is goonna be long.
might as well juz play a song.
tangled strings,
broken wings.
twisted vines,
injured minds.
the heart is weeping,
and the flesh is grasping.
the mind is won'ring
and the soul is singing.
what is the decision going to be based on?
do i really need to play that same old song?
decisions made seems to be final...
but have u thought that u might be in denial?
rejection. reception. reciepient.
exception. expectation. opponent.
i mean its like..
why why why?
"thou'st know no less but all"
even so, we crumble and fall.
so pro-ed in heading back to sqaure one.
man,.. it is never such gd fun.
i know its me and me, and, me.
but seriously. do u know me?
the life u carry, is easily shaken.
i'm so worried that the cause is me.
u may not know it.
but others around are aware of it.
man. this no longer shall be a gd decent poem.
for thy mind is juz filled with words,
like water under pressure,
dying to let them gash out and splash.
should i juz leave it.
haha. repeat- leave i-t?
tangled strings,
broken wings.
twisted vines,
injured minds.
the heart mourns,
the flesh grabbs.
the mind sinks,
the soul screams.
right decsions never seem good.
fall back.
fall back.
flat and hit the rock hard ground.
thy whoole being seems to be of my greatest concern.
sitting by the fence, watching pass every season.
words are surfacing,
dying to get out unscrambling.
we all know that 3 famous words.
its reduced to 2.
u know what i mean.
coz we're hot and sticky.
man it keeps coming back.
never would i want it slack.
there's so much things i want to say.
say it as black an white.
only.
one.
speech can never portray certain stuff.
its like a big fat hand cuff.
sometimes it is needed.
sometimes it is neglected.
that's life.
it's life.
whats life?
hard life.
are u reading in-between the lines?
if u are, suggest u'd better stop.
i'm not in denial,
and yes. that's final.
this would not qualify as poem.
coz really, its as hard as a phloem.
2 persons have e utmost right.
up to u to figure out.
on public blog? haha.
right. in ur sock.
-
ok. whatever. ahahaa. funny huh.
but serious;y i'm enjoying life now.. b4 poly starts. goona start chionging in sports wise. coz in poly.. no PE!! aahhaha. freak out. see how lar.
must be enthu.

more of these 2 days camp.. i'm put into group 1. haha. love this group.. with my fellow leaders.. clarice, daniel and kevin. really can trust them in whatever lar.. like if i gotta see to smth urgent or impt.. i can juz leave the grp w/o worries. kinda different from school. and then.. my group.. WON! HARS. the point system thing. but seriously, from my sincere heart.. my grp really deserved it. coz they're really an obedient bunch. a concrete 'proof' would be the scrap bk.. they wrote down many points abt what they've learnt. (:
in general. the biggest thing, to me as a personal self that i've learnt. is perspective & experience.
once again. these 2 factors have struck me in terms of 'leading' or any event which involves unity with ppl coming from diff places.
its a challenge that is always there.. even u grow up up up.... its like.. u can explain stuff but its juz difficult to put into action.
anyways. enough of this camp thing. juz wanna give glory to God from protecting evy little child and ppl running the whole event. thank God also for the SJC ppl who came. really admire them for their courage.
i miss the sajc ppl.
i miss the bowling team.
come to think of it. between KL and creative camp... a tough choice for me.. but i guess it'll be the creative camp. touching lives is in a way.. somewhat given more priority.
juz pray for God's grace to allow us to keep in contact yea. dun wanna miss such great bunch.
there's so much things i want u guys out there to know. but abt lazy and tired to type so much as it involves alot of explaination, twitst and turns, lar dee dah..
if i create poem.... haha, maybe i will. ahha.
i'm like 16 already.
paths are taken.
lives are touched.
roads are woalked.
uptil today, i still have out-of-the-blue friends msging me. like today.. joel chan, my pri sch classmate who loves to bully me and taking photo of girls, msged me.
last 2 months. amy chan. long-lost friend, parted with alot of stuff.. wrote me an emaiL! haha. (love it when singapore's small huh).
whatever it is... i still have friends out there. i'm not driving to any point. juz wanna share this split second of sheer realisation and urgency.
touching lives.
i'm sure, everyone in their own ways have touched someone lives. u may or may not know it. but u have. that's a fact. ppl rmrbr it.. but u dun know. u do not need to know either.
hmmmm. then it comes to it.
BGR.
in this so called boy-girl relationship.. what's more important?
- deep, true, crazily sincerely in love despite so much differences which can cause much disagreements... OR.
- juz able to work well and hold no barriers but less 'feel' in that sense. (hmm. dun really know how to put the feeling part into proper explaination)
for me? HARS. ????
then again. i'm 16. what's the rush. what's the hurry.
to a point.. where i'm back to that man-who-needs-a-guy now. ppl like Joanne. *salute.
-
tangled strings,
broken wings.
twisted vines,
injured minds.
often we do say yes, we do understand,
but how often are we able to withstand?
application comes into that thought process,
but ultimately, what is the measure of one' success?
writing poems is like another route of escape.
meanings are hidden but yet raped.
in attempts to read in-between the lines,
there are high possibilities of commiting a seroious crime.
there's no flow in my current poem now.
poetic liscense will always gain that crown.
but seriously, it does defines something..
which might require some serious seaching.
enough of trying to redeem myself,
coz seriously, how many of u know thyself?
this is goonna be long.
might as well juz play a song.
tangled strings,
broken wings.
twisted vines,
injured minds.
the heart is weeping,
and the flesh is grasping.
the mind is won'ring
and the soul is singing.
what is the decision going to be based on?
do i really need to play that same old song?
decisions made seems to be final...
but have u thought that u might be in denial?
rejection. reception. reciepient.
exception. expectation. opponent.
i mean its like..
why why why?
"thou'st know no less but all"
even so, we crumble and fall.
so pro-ed in heading back to sqaure one.
man,.. it is never such gd fun.
i know its me and me, and, me.
but seriously. do u know me?
the life u carry, is easily shaken.
i'm so worried that the cause is me.
u may not know it.
but others around are aware of it.
man. this no longer shall be a gd decent poem.
for thy mind is juz filled with words,
like water under pressure,
dying to let them gash out and splash.
should i juz leave it.
haha. repeat- leave i-t?
tangled strings,
broken wings.
twisted vines,
injured minds.
the heart mourns,
the flesh grabbs.
the mind sinks,
the soul screams.
right decsions never seem good.
fall back.
fall back.
flat and hit the rock hard ground.
thy whoole being seems to be of my greatest concern.
sitting by the fence, watching pass every season.
words are surfacing,
dying to get out unscrambling.
we all know that 3 famous words.
its reduced to 2.
u know what i mean.
coz we're hot and sticky.
man it keeps coming back.
never would i want it slack.
there's so much things i want to say.
say it as black an white.
only.
one.
speech can never portray certain stuff.
its like a big fat hand cuff.
sometimes it is needed.
sometimes it is neglected.
that's life.
it's life.
whats life?
hard life.
are u reading in-between the lines?
if u are, suggest u'd better stop.
i'm not in denial,
and yes. that's final.
this would not qualify as poem.
coz really, its as hard as a phloem.
2 persons have e utmost right.
up to u to figure out.
on public blog? haha.
right. in ur sock.
-
ok. whatever. ahahaa. funny huh.
but serious;y i'm enjoying life now.. b4 poly starts. goona start chionging in sports wise. coz in poly.. no PE!! aahhaha. freak out. see how lar.
must be enthu.

Final Challenge.
hahah. this was taken from Saints Fitness. (Yesterday)
personally, it was kinda like a final challenge to me. coz the whole day, was practically fitness. i wanted to go.. coz it'll be like my last time doing 'PE' as poly does not consist of PE, massively.
challenging for me coz basically, i wasn't at my full health.
haha.
so ytd.. went to tp in the mornign. juz to hand in my ic, and change my appeal. so my appeal now its.
SP: media and comm, Business Admin
TP: Mechatronics, Business Engineering
TP (DAE): Business/Logistics./Marketing...
if u'd ask me what i really want... i really do not do not do not know.
kinda wierd for me not to have a plan for my future.. but after really gg thorugh all this PAE,JAE,DSA,JPSAE,DAE,APPEAL.. u get really really ugh by the whoole thing when everything keeps saying no no no. u're already immuned to setbacks and declines.
i thank God. seriously. i've really learnt how to really juz rely and trust in His wisdom in planning. coz ultimately... u can't contral what u really want to get. u can only work hard for it, wait, and expect.
if i go into business related.. it'll be gd. in a way.. i can climb more steps and achieve much more in terms of area wise.. but i really gave a deep thought to myself. MECHATRONICS. anyone can go there.. L1R4 24 (the cut-off pt), and u're eligible. i've thought of aerospace engineering or aeronautical in sp.. both cut-offs are like 12,13?! so yar.. TP- mechatronics.. 2nd yr, and u're able to go aerospace.
why aerospace?
i like aeroplanes to a certain extent. and i'm a hands-on person.
in addition.. i can continue's my father's path.. and make gd use of the mighty thousands of equippments at home. (but i heard that SIA only recruit males for my dada's kinda job.. *cross-fingers)
on monday.. i went to sp from 8am-12pm with su and gang.. then went to tp from 1pm-5pm with char. thank God for her. if not i would have died. saw Sam and got to know Daniel lam. hahahah. super funny. he has the same tissue paper as Daniel Lum. hahah. anyways.. at aroun 5pm.. my temp was like 39.5 coz i carried round my theremomenter.. buay tahan so went home.
8am-5pm-banging on poly doors
okok. ANYWAYS.
back to final challenge.
i juz needed to train. wanted to crashed into OG10 coz seems to know more ppl there.. but coz OG 11 had less ppl.. coz joined them so that they won't have to suffer so much.
all in all... we were made to....
- make stretcher using bamboo poles to carry one person throughout the whole challenge. if 'the chosen one''s foot seen in contact with the ground, a penalty of 100 times of exercise of your choice is to be done.
- even when up the stairs. the 'chosen one' has to be carried, off the stretcher, by another person.. or people. (our grp was chun lei btw.. haha. poor thing)
- 1000 jumping jacks + vocals
- 1000 crunches + vocals
- 1000 push-ups + vocals
- 300 chin-ups (with support) + vocals
- climbing over the brick wall
- getting pass the monkey bar
- countless of runnign round the track, with the 'chosen one' on the stretcher
- up and down the gallery 2 times, (flights of stairs included), with the 'chosen one' on e stretcher
- survive on water and a 5kg tin of unbranded biscuits (with valuables taken away)
- plus many other obsticles which now seem like peanuts. hahaha..
btw. the exercises mentioned are to be done as a grp lar.. so 1 person did abt 30-40 times. haha. it was still a killer lar. but i was fun. really disappointed that i wasn't well to do the full thing.. i cannot do things tt deals with stamina.. coz did the stations stuff at the SAJS fitness and others, exculding the runnign and all. could juz do strength-stuff.
was fun. looking back. non did stretching. haha. hmmmmm...
after that. it was like 7.30pm already. i went to sa at abt 11am after gg to tp.. from 1-7 was FITNESS. ahha. i was dying by then. thank God for sara who took bus with me home. fever was comming back already. on the bus.. 39.2 haha. so ya. made it home.. plop on the sofa, napped, bathe, eat and slp.
and this morning.. very much wanted to go for my last mornign prayer in church, crash into sa, meet up with char and dennis.. but my body does not permits me to do so. fever was on and off, with body aches.
haha. so whole day. i'm at home. aimlessly watching tv, playing alittle guitar, pin up my coollection of badges, played with baby, cooked food, saw and drill bamboo poles.. and lie around. really eeeeeh. but thankfully enough, i'm perspiring and very much alive, with major cough and slight flu. hahaha.
% chances of dengue not v high.. coz my fever has been 'off' since 2pm. haha. (:
thank God for where i am now.
i'm gonna miss my friends.
come to think of it. i bring ppl together but leaves the grp.
take for eg.. the msh-cum-kc bowling grp... kc ppl gg to sajc. hahha. fun huh.
i'm goona live my life a whole new perspective, still the same purpose.. but a whole new aspect. i'm working on it, still. pls pray! thanks! (:

settling
things slowly settling in.
tmr will b gg to polys to bang on their doors.
if doors are shut, i'll go back kc.. as a private candidate. (:
thank u SAJC for providing me a wonderful and memorable january and february. I've learnt many things and i would wanna grow more. haha. in terms of spiritual and physical.
well. really glad that dark clouds are soon fading away.
thank God for last fri's chapel service.. and today's sermon. both had smeth similar.. and really. God spoke to me personally.
oh yea.. and i tried on Aunty alicern's $250 recorder.. and her $300+ xaphoon (portable saxaphone). hahaha. man. new goals! hahaha.
last nite. i dreamt abt mission trip. terror. some car excitment thing lar. haha. okok. pray that it doesn't happen.
been dreaming when i sleep. can't rmbr some of which. but i know that its smth to do with the Coming. hmms.
today watch final d 3. my 1st nc16 show. haha. super gory. first movie i found very erks. simple plot..but abit.. no point. should have some like meaning or punchline to it.
always.
this few weeks been really tough. i would say its a testing of my emmotional strength? and really. the importance of taking up the cross and following Jesus and waiting for directions in His plans, is really not easy.
pray for me still. thanks. this mornign had slight fever. on and off till now. after movie took a cab home. upper and lower back, thighs, shoulders are all aching. i doubt that its sports coz i didn't really exert myself of anything. with a little bit of sorethroat.
symptoms of dengue huh. haha. pray lar. now go check also no point.. cannot tell. 5 more days. pray tt i do not see rashes.
now come to think of it.
Do we only give praise to God when things are gg well or only when we feel like it?
i guess its smth most of us tend to over see it.
tmr will b gg to polys to bang on their doors.

slash and burn.
Somebody Else- Bleu
What if I was alright?
What if I wasn't wound so tight?
What if I had the balls to be bad?
Would you still look at me like that?
Would you be mad that I had held the old me back?
Why can't I be somebody else?
Somebody who isn't too cool to believe it's okay to be just me
Maybe I was too much
Maybe I'll take it down a notch
Maybe I'll have the guts to go mad
Maybe I'll mess me up real bad
Maybe I'll make you wish you had the old me back
Why can't I be somebody else?
Somebody who isn't too cool to believe it's okay to be just me
What if I can't remember who I'm trying to be?
Why can't I be somebody else?
Somebody who isn't too cool to believe it's okay to be just me
Just me...
man. this is painful.
how long can we endure.
what plans?
square 1. after all that.
i have kept that faith.
What if I was alright?
What if I wasn't wound so tight?
What if I had the balls to be bad?
Would you still look at me like that?
Would you be mad that I had held the old me back?
Why can't I be somebody else?
Somebody who isn't too cool to believe it's okay to be just me
Maybe I was too much
Maybe I'll take it down a notch
Maybe I'll have the guts to go mad
Maybe I'll mess me up real bad
Maybe I'll make you wish you had the old me back
Why can't I be somebody else?
Somebody who isn't too cool to believe it's okay to be just me
What if I can't remember who I'm trying to be?
Why can't I be somebody else?
Somebody who isn't too cool to believe it's okay to be just me
Just me...
man. this is painful.
how long can we endure.
what plans?
square 1. after all that.
i have kept that faith.

exciting.
my life is getting really exciting every moment of it.
today. posting results were out.. in sajc that is. only ONE com had the posting results. weiliang posted to SR, yong hui to TP, theresa to CJ n some to JJ and all. kinda wierd this time. 13 can't ensure u a place in sa.. instead.. in cj.. 14-16 go sr.. hmm. but most ppl are staying in sa.
as for me.
as i've said... exciting minute by minute.
i finally got hold of the sch's library com, surrounded by 20-30 odd ppl,
typed in my i/c no...
ahha. all the ppl around me got stunned..
coz mine wasn't like the posting results.. instead.. it was a paragraph of words.. to summarise..
if i wanna go poly, i need to apply again,.. coz all my choices are not successful .
right.
so now i cannot even enter poly.
on a slighter brighter side.. i HOPE that this is due to DSA or my attempt in JPSAE (which none has called me for interview).
ANYWAYS.. nevertheless, i'm goona apppeal appeall and appeal.. till i do smth i enjoy doing. if i really can't, i'll work, at the same time.. study.. and retake some subjects as a private candidate.
meanwhile... Pray
its been long since things are gg right. since dad left, which was end of 2003, nothing seem to go right. seriously. studies declined.. bowling downhill. eveyrthing lar. used to win this and that.. now not even near anywhere.
dun worry. i'm still fine.
coz i'm praying for a more definite answer as promised by MOE, on the 3rd march. by then, decisions have to be made. so yea. kinda whoa by this whole process.
kinda immmune to setbacks already. its like.. ok lor.. now poly cannot go.. think of plan C lor.
negatively, u can say that the drive is gone. positively, i'm juz being positive. neutrally, i'm immuned.
i'm juz disappointed why is my life like that. as in... why aren't i performing well., in different aspects.
everything is tangeld i should say. no chance of even getting close to it ot analyse and 'solve' the prob. i really have no clue nor idea.
yes yes. Jeremish 29: plans to prosper u, give u hope, not to harm u... but really. its really have to comprehend. no, i dun doubt verses.. juz find it impossible to comprehend.
to you.
haha. sorry to you lar k. really dun understand myself. dun understand these thoughts. trying to back them off.. but keeps coming back as wants. i want u to know, but at the same time, i don'y want u to know, yet. time can heal. i guess. solutions might be the root of the problem. its a testing of our faith. reliability. accountability. juz pray. i'm sure God's directions will see us thorugh for the best, be it if we like it or now, i'm sure its pleasing to God.
