25 August 08, the day I finally had closure to one year of longing... when everything just seemed right. Today we went to IMM, a place we went before close to one year ago. At that time, she was renting a room near there, and I was an officer cadet. Today, she's here for summer break, and I'm a commissioned officer. We had Ichiban Sushi then, Pepper Lunch today, and IMM hasn't changed much since then, but we have. She likes coffee buns from Roti Mum, and I still like my Shih Lin XXL Chicken Cutlet, looks like some things just don't change. Tired of IMM, we took 97 down to the Esplanade, where we also went once a year ago. Back then we were just looking for a place to sit and chat and look at each other. Today it's the same thing. Some things just don't change. The couch we sat on last year still stays there, waiting for the same couple to find it again, having conversations that makes no sense to the rest of the world save the two of us. This time we actually went to the terrace roof, a place not known to us then, but only rediscovering it now. We only need to look harder next time... Dinner, we went to Lau Pa Sat. BBQ stingray, satay, xiao jie lan, sugarcane juice, items of Asian flavour that you craved so much since ur coming to Singapore. Back then, these were just simple fare available to you whenever u wanted. Now, they've become dishes that you can only taste once in a blue moon. How things have changed.... Thank you. Thank you for watching for fireworks with me on 23rd August 08. Thank you for spending time with me at the amphitheatre at VivoCity on 24th August 08. Thank you for the dinner on the 25th August 08. Thank you for giving me all the hugs I needed. Thank you for caring for me. Thank you for telling me not to cry. Thank you for telling me you still love me. Thank you. For all I need, is just those 3 words, and that, would have made my wait, all worthwhile. For you, I will live well. Till then.... and forever. dreamt at 8/25/2008 10:09:00 PM, 0 comments Today is the Saturday that I've been waiting for! Someone is right here in Singapore, and that makes it reaaaalllyy special! Just came back fromSingle Tank Battle Course Field Camp. This batch of cadets has shown more potential than the previous did. At least they are a little more hardworking, and understand things better when we explain to them. I wonder if it is truly due to the fact that they are from JC, and the previous batch from poly. I have never believed in the education system making a difference, but somehow the facts laid out proves otherwise. Perhaps it is all down to the enviroment in which people learn, and grow up in, shaping different mentalities and personalities. There are the bright among those who may not be labelled elite, and those among the upper echelons that made their way there merely by sailing. Judgement, I guess is just something that shouldn't be left to individuals, because personal opinions are always biased to a certain extent. Let's just hope that we can all clear our vision, our hearts and minds, and then make a decision. Singapore, I wish you the very best in your future. You have made it this far with sterling results. There may be mistakes and errors to rectify in the system, but among the unglamorous points critics love to pick out, there is an underlying grace and beauty in Singaporeans. A sense of unity, unspoken, but present. It may not tend to be obvious, because we prefer not to talk about it. But it is there, and hopefully with future generations it will not be lost, along with the people who worked so hard together to make this little red dot blip so brightly on the map. dreamt at 8/23/2008 12:03:00 PM, 0 comments I wonder if it's because of the fact that I don't understand the language, that is why the song never fails to tug at my heart, because it's not just merely listening and understanding the lyrics as with other songs, but you learn to hear the emotions, the feeling in the song. Communication can truly be carried out through various forms even without language... Bought reebok running shoes today, for AHM, but don't think I have the chance to season those new shoes. Oh well, just run on Sunday, if things happen, things happen. Gave my fish tank a little makeover too, bought 2 otocinclus (dwarf suckermouth catfish), and 5 harlequin rasboras. Comparing those 5 new ones from the 2 I bought 2 years ago, they're so tiny! Looks like fish do grow haha, and I thought they always stayed at the same size. Shrimps stay in my tank still, happy as always, having their mini conference and gatherings around algae wafers. Now the otos in my tank zip around looking for algae patches to graze on. Hopefully they last long, they're the most sensitive of the lot. As for the rasboras, I'm sure they'll have fun with the 2 biggies, if they don't get nipped too often, that is. Ah.... the 23rd is coming, looking forward to it ^^ dreamt at 8/17/2008 06:31:00 PM, 0 comments 啊。。。天天想， 夜夜也想。。。 真是神奇。 最近因为一位稀客的探访， 让我整个人都开心了起来。 所谓有朋自远方来， 不亦乐乎！ 当然， 看见其他的老朋友也让我开心， 但再次见到她， 更是爽。 还以为我们之间出现了什么问题呢， 让事情发生得如此突然。 但一回来， 谈过之后， 我一切的烦恼都消失了。 虽然还是不想继续， 可是， 我依然照我当初所说的， 一定会保持承诺。别说我因等待而傻， 我也管不了这么多了， 人生短短几十年， 又何须这么烦恼呢？ 哈哈， 除了你，从来没有一个能让我如此自在，轻松， 快乐， 充实。 你也让我深深的体会到淳淳的，美妙的爱。荣仔在此深深地向你道谢！ 你跟我说你付出太多，才让我觉得是忽略了你。也许是我待人处事没那么棒，所以才让你觉得我没去珍惜这份感情。其实现在说了也是马后炮，白说。无论是朋友还是什么关系，你对我的意义，无人能代替。 嘻！多么希望我们俩都不用长大！ dreamt at 8/14/2008 07:51:00 PM, 0 comments Complains, things need to be changed... They say things are made fair here. In my opinion, I beg to differ. Everyone has the freedom of speech, but who listens? Oly a certain special class gets to have their opinion heard. Perhaps our opinions are heard, but acted on? I don't think so. Why then does a special class of people get their opinions heard? Just because of some casual talk over coffee, some concerns have been raised, and a wave spreads down from above, far and wide across the ranks of the numerous people who make things work. For years and years, we make improvements in our system. People who pass through our system commission with pride, with a sense of satisfaction as they know that they have gone through arduous training not for nothing, but for that special day and event when heavy responsibility shall officially be placed on their young shoulders. But why then have recent generations changed? They want thinking, but in my opinion, in the military, thinking too much doesnt do you any good. Think about how to get the job done, and not about why you have to do the job. That level has been settled by higher authority. Execute without question. That is the way things work, if you don't like it, get out. Of course, since it's conscription, there has to be concessions made for the militia, and thus the welfare that is demanded by and given to these young men. I look back to the times when our fathers served, and can only be awed by the tremendou determination which lasted them through those tough times. That is what made the men of Singapore so strong today.... Looking at the system today... will we last then? We'll see, shall we? dreamt at 8/09/2008 09:24:00 PM, 0 comments You're the strawberry, I'll be soya, SOY JOYFUL together! That's a pretty cute ad. It's quite interesting to see a strawberry and soya bean couple give birth to a fruit bar! The creators nowadays must be getting a lil bored nowadays haha.... Of late, I've been listening to songs with heavier beats, prolly cos of one particular ride in my friend's car, with the modded sound system and all, the beat sounded really good, just makes u wanna move along ^^ someday i'm gonna get something like that too, but it'll be quite awhile before i got the cash to get things going haha... ORD's coming, even thought it's still some months away, I'm nearer to it than ever before, and someday I'm gonna be finally free! So many things that I want to do in the 8 months before school starts - holidays, work, play, driving license, boating license.... and many more exciting things! If only they found like new oil reserves, then air fares will fall, and I'll be able to go to the States much more comfortably! Why the States? Some reasons... mainly because of someone, and also because of the fact that I won't have that much of free time to go somewhere so far away once school starts, so might as well make the most of it when I'm still free. =D Studies, gotta apply for Economics and Aerospace Engineering. Still considering scholarships, with my grades, it would somehow be unjustified if I didn't try to get one. Hmmmm but scholarship = bond, and I don't know what I want to do yet =/ gotta think, but so many things to do that all interest me to some degree. 2009 is gonna be busy, exciting, and most of all... lovely. dreamt at 8/09/2008 10:43:00 AM, 0 comments |
