You know how sometimes you can just go and download some songs like they are any other songs.
you won't realise the meaning and how nice it really is unless you open up yourself to it when you listen.
today, i was on the bus with my ipod. then this song came on and simply took my soul away.
Enjoy guys... =)
Apologise
by: Timbaland ft Onerepublic
I’m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I’m hearing what you say
But I just can’t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait...
You tell me that you’re sorry
Didn’t think I’d turn around and say..
That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I’d take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
(But that's nothing new)
Yeah yeah
I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue
And you say
Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I’m afraid
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
Woahooo woah
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah yeah
I said it’s too late to apologize, a yeah
I’m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground...

Sleep on it
We, humans, can get over confident of yourself. you thought you can do it.. but it turns out you can't. you just can't fool yourself or deceive everyone around you. sometimes you will realise all that time used to prepare and build your fort is just pure useless. if it is going to get you, it will get you. it just knows its ways to.
sleep on it. just sleep on it, divert all your focus away from this troubling thought. Go for a run, go for a swim, go to work, go out with your friends, go for class.
but from experience, no matter how much you numb yourself, it just comes right back in that single second when your mind is idle.
Love can do this to you.
*sometimes you just wish for a shoulder to be there for you.. sometimes..*

Cars & Driving License!
Ever since i turned 18, i've been thinking of getting my license! yet it's only till now (20 years old) that i'm going for my first TP (Traffic Police Driving Test). i guess we just have to postpone some plans ya? haha
Woo.. scary.. my TP is this coming Friday.. 17th at 1545 (so if you happen to be or know any reckless drivers around Bukit Batok, CCK, Teck Whye & Jurong area, please ask them to avoid driving out between 1545 to 1700 ok? thanks!).
A lot of people asked me whether i can pass on my first attempt. i don't really know how to answer them. haha because it really depends. my instructor told me there are 5 elements to consider in the whole test which are driving skills, courtesy, luck, weather and the testor himself. i guess my driving skills are ok (given the fact i have not bump into any car SO FAR.. haha)and i am definitely courteous! so.. out of 5, i can only control 2 elements! so tell me the odds.. it really depends man. but.. you can wish me luck! i need lots of that!
I made my dad to promise to lend me his car this weekend if i pass ( of course he has to orientate me first and his car is rather huge compare to the one i am learning in!) . seriously, i kind of have a phobia driving his car (Toyota Picnic: see below). Esp during turning and steering. haha! well well.. guess that's always insurance (touch wood)!!
Toyota Picnic.. his is light blue though
of course, like every other typical guy, i will fantasize on the cars i will own in the future (maybe 5 or 6 years down the road). nevertheless, there is short term,mid term and long term goals.
Short term means something small and sporty which leads me to the Suzuki Swift Sports. It is not exactly very fuel economic because practical consumption is about 9-10km per litre (from my many hear-says and read up). But i like its chic and sport design. Its bright yellow attracts me the most, like a little spit fire. cost about $62k at current COE prices. Quick survey of the car tells me the backseat is rather small but still able to house 3 mid size adults.
Overall View
Chic eh? =)
Driver's 'cockpit' and dashboard
Stylish and Sporty red and black combi..
Mid term target. Just thinking bout the next car makes me excited. This is a rather new model which is imported from Europe. So far i've not seen one on the road yet. Its design is perfected from many generations of ascendants.
The Honda Civic Type R (shortnamed CTR) is one hot hatchback automobile. Its three door design and sleek streamline somehow makes it look like a bullet wheezing past all vehicles on the road. Bearing the badge with an 'H' with a deep red background, it proves itself to be one of the hottest and newest kid in the Japanese sports car arena.
Overview..
Backview..pay attn to the exhaust. they're streamlined in and not sticking out in an ugly way
Side profile..
Driver's cockpit and dashboard (Spore version will be on the Right side)
Cool seats eh.. i just love the combination of red and black.
~WAKE UP~.. pass TP first!!
wish me luck k!

Family Day 290707
Family day was great! in case you don't know, i (along with Zihao) are volunteers with the Singapore Children Society (SCS). we are involved in a program call Sunbeam friends which we go down to the centre in Redhill to interact and teach the kids there certain important values and also help organise outing/activites for them.
SO....we were given the task of organising this family day for the kids and their family. we started planning around june (if i didn't remember wrongly!) and trust me, it was a lot of hard work put in! there are 5 of us in the planning committee! Chai Ling (events ic), Sabrina (logistics ic), Kenneth (team coordinators ic), Zihao (games ic) and me (the main event ic)! they were a great team to work with and i really look forward to working with them again. as we are all working adults, we have to sacrifice our leisure time for the planning and discussion. but as we all said, it's worthwhile as long as the families enjoyed it!
alright, let me bring you through the Family day.
we assembled at Redhill around 815. zihao and his team was already there. the families poured in at 830. the stores were asssembled and groups organised by around 845. we hop onto the bus and off we go to the beautiful Botanic Gardens!
well, everything must start with a warm up right. so zihao, who was the games ic, exhibit his 'inborn' talent of cheering and led the family into ' warm up exercise'!
With the help of our beloved Wenhui!
the kids are starting to sweat it out! and enjoying in the meanwhile!
alright, that marks the ending of warm-up and the start of the main event
warm-up was great and from the face of the families, i can predict that they are going to enjoy this fun and exciting day! following on is our 1st games which we named "Disappearing Island". simply (i guess a lot of us played it before), there is a mat which the groups will have to stand on and it will get smaller and smaller. therefore along the way, teams who CANNOT get everyone to stand on the mat will be eliminated until only 1 winner is left!
Weili ain't going to make things easy for this group!!
Renjie kept his cool!!
Smile!! No matter how 'tight' the situation is!
We have a WINNER!!
sidenote: he is super cute ain't he??
Alright! of course, we do give them a break after every game (though at that time, the sky looks threatening!!) 2nd game is Aqua Shoes. basically there is a starting and endling line. and his team member will have a cup with a hole underneath tied to his feet with a rubber band. so he/she would have to balance the cup with water and walk towards a bucket about 6 metres away and without using his/her hands, pour the water into the bucket! or.. did i mention that there is a hole at the bottom of the cup? *evil grin*
our station ics are briefing the families. there!! those two in green lo. Fion & Yongjia!
Yongjia preparing for a demonstration of the game!
off we go~!!
Wenhui: "i don't get it.. u can definitely move faster than that!!"
we have Fareez showing off soccer skills and using it in the game
Chao Rui: "come on, squeeze somemore. can one!1"
the judges are trying to find the winner..
well, thanks to zihao for not doing his "no rain dance". it starts to drizzle and of course, as planned as part of wet weather, we moved to the nearby shelters. YET, the spirit was not dampened as we start playing games and shouting cheers louder than before!
hold hands and play the hula hoops!
what a nice shot of jiewen trapped in hoops.. =p
take a break now so as to gear up for what's coming up!!
Boon Wei and his mickey mouse hat!ps:he can really drive u mad!
Finally, the sky cleared and the rain stopped! the sun was out again and Sunbeam is ready to get on with the activities. our original plan was to play 2 additional field games. however we have to abolish it because of the time constraint and the muddy condition of the field. well, the most exciting part of the day, the Amazing Race starts with 5 teams playing 6 stations. the first one to reach the end point (which is also the start point) will be the champion for amazing race!
Rachel: "come on, faster!! cross the line"
enjoy the atmosphere of winning!
it's the spirit that counts! not the prize not the positions!
all in all, the family day was a great success. i really want to thank everyone who is involved or indirectly contributed to this wonderful day

haha
thirdly.. i'm a volunteer with Children Society (Sunbeam Programme). basically every saturday, we will go down to the centre at Bukit Merah to have a fun filled and educational session with the kids (usually about 20, though max is 40). it may mean nothing much, just 2 - 3 hours a week. but they (and us volunteers) learn a lot of things.
o ya! i'm in the committee which will organise a family day for about 100 (parents and children) on 29th July. which means, i gotta go work on the proposal now!!
will be back with updates soon =)

long break is over
woohoo. about 9 days of break since last friday! it was real good. anyway i took off so as to study for my exams at mdis.it can be consider a good break too i guess =)
well, two modules down and boy, it sure ain't easy. Human Resource Management (HRM) and Marketing Management (MM). HRM was ok but MM is real hard. use real life examples in the questions and expect us to know about it!! haha. if you diligently scrutinize everyday's newspaper, you might stand a chance. but it's over! just hope at least a B-. expecting at least a B+ for HRM (afterall i did well in the assignment ok!)
next two modules will be Operations and Supply Management and Business Economics. there goes my mon and thurs! class will start on 7th may. so i am still relax for a while before mugging.
people always say it is not easy to handle work and study part time. i finally realise it after these few months. it's like you have to work 8 to 5 and then rush for classes at 7 to 10 at night. it's super tiring and also the fact that you have to read up constantly, not only the given text but external ones like newspaper and newsweek, economics. wish me luck people!
well, i hope i can say all i did for the long off was study but no. haha. sleep till very late and slack around before starting. watch tv, chill here and chill there.
went gym 2 times (build those muscles!)
i guess i will sign out now. got work tomorrow.it's back to being a NSF. ORD soon pls

For my best buddy and his love!
On 25th September 2005, a guy and a girl got together as a couple.
Rated: Corny content below. Please bear with it!
The guy was and still is my best friend since our JC days. During our JC days, we did a lot of stupid things together. We also did what i believe, was what both of us would reckon as one of our greatest achievements in life so far. That is setting up Saint Sports Club together from scratch (with Teresa and Meiling too). I've seen all sides of him (trust me, i hate the naked side!haha. joking!) and it's really memorable to recall times when he's happy, sad, overjoyed, troubled and uncertain.
One thing i was proud of about him is that he finally found a beacon he was searching for after a long time of internal struggling. That is finding of his love whom is also one of my good friend.
She is also someone who has been through a lot. I've seen her go through a lot of difficult days before she became what she is today. Although on the outside, she is still the same bubbly cheerful person. i know that throughout the period that i've know her, she has mature a lot in terms of thinking and behaviour. and i'm truly proud of her.
to Zihao and Weijie,
i'm really happy for the both of u and it has not been a easy road since the beginning. and i believe you two can continue this journey together and don't forget your promise, i'll be the best man on your wedding!
Happy 18th month!
