But Tonight We Dance

Thanks to the Part Ds for making my 16th Birthday memoriable. And also those who wished me.
And thanks to Daniel who was our photographer for the day.

So lunch was at Seoul Garden where we had to wait an hour for our tables due to some dumb ass tourist from a certain country who behaved like hooligans and didn’t stick to their booking of 11am to 2pm.

So anyway the bill came up to around $400 bucks, so to make it worth it we spammed prawns and ice cream. =D

Once the meal was settled, we made our way to The Arena @ Clark Quey area where Imran, Herny and Khairul were gonna perform for the Singapore Band Challenge that night.

Up the 90 Steps: (which was agonizing due to the amt of food we ate)

So anyway the gig was fucking awesome, with good music and good company the whole night.

The night was awesome, once again.

And Perpeptual Flame got into the finals, so that means they’ll be winning an awesome load of prizes and shit. Time to freeload off Imran and Khairul I guess. & if they win, they’ll win a $10,000 recording contract, which is omgwtfbbq.

Be sure to catch them in the finals man.

Thanks everyone who were with me.
It’s something worth remembering.

We Were, Best of Friends

Just looked through the Passing Out Parade vids and pictures. Damn, miss everyone man. For all that we’ve been through.

Anyway, today’s morning punishment was an eye-opener for me. It hit me real hard. What Ms Yap and Mr Tan Kee Hoe said this morning was really true. Looking back, I kinda regretted my decision to come late during RHD. Although I still came, but facts are facts I missed the all too important talk.

So what if I’m from the top few classes. It doesn’t mean shit if you’re character sucks.
So yep. I apologize to all those who sacrificed their time last Wednesday. Esp to Ms Yap and Mr Koh.

But it’s all true isn’t it. We should all value integrity.
Wise Words of Ms Yap:

“If I told the truth and admitted my mistake, yes, I’d be able to sleep very well that night.
But if I had lied and hid this and that, well, there’s gonna be something eating my heart up tonight.”

Don’t hate the school or teachers. They’ve done loads for us and it’s for our own good. If they don’t teach us, no one would. Don’t lie to them, or be rude to them.

One day we’re all gonna look back at our very actions and we wouldn’t wanna question ourselves, right.

Epic Fail

It’s the final five weeks to prelims, then the intense revisions and then the dreaded Os. Well, it ain’t all that bad actually.

I’ve drafted my life for the next 3 decades or so already. It involves:

Winning at the TK Donation Drive 1st Place, win $6,888.
Save $4000, spend $1500 on a new HD TV for my room and hopefully a Siberian Husky puppy. Use remaining $388 on a shopping spreeee and keep the last thousand in my wallet for endless Starbucks Coffee.

I shall enroll in Temasek Poly, engineering or tourism. I shall cycle to school everyday (15 min from my house) at 10.30am, return home by 7pm each day.

Win a scholarship to Australia where I can further my studies, enjoy life in Australia, drop my Singapore Citizenship so I don’t have to go for NS. Then I shall come back after 5-6 years, find my wife, ______, who would be around 24, 25 years old. Migrate to Australia, settle down in the suburban areas of Sydney. Open a steakhouse and get Liyana to be my manager. And at the same time, I shall manage a 6-Star Hotel where I would be earning in excess of $15,000 a month.

I will earn my first million by age of 36 years old, retire by 45.
Oh, I shall have 2 children too. A guy and a girl who I shall name Josh and Hayley.

By 50, I shall drive a have a driver to drive me from my backyard swimming pool to the living room in my Ferrari, across the large 2km garden surrounding my mansion.

My children, around the ages of 16-19 will already be studying in a top University in Melbourne and on their way to be as successful as their father.

See, I do have a dream.
Will it come true? xD

We Were Strangers, Starting Out On an Adventure

This is a tribute to THE best platoon ever. 2005 we were strangeres knowing nothing, but along the years we forged bonds, bonds so close that no one else would understand.
And though the joy and the pain, we rose and brought glory to TK Ncc Sea, by winning the Best Unit Competition 2007, and winning the SEACOM three years straight.
For everything we’ve been though, thanks guys.

HAHA. THANKS GUYS! =D

All Good Things Come To An End

Three and a half years has come to an end.
For all the hard times we’ve been through, we had our share of good times as well. I’m probably gonna miss all of you so damn much. May our friendship last though the years, that’s all I hope for.
Pictures will be uploaded in another post cause someone else has em’.

Dream

I was asked, on countless occasions, what do you want to be when you grow up. I had a perfect vision of what I wanna be in mind, but I HAD to give the answer that was definitely more plausible.

“Tourism Industry or Engineering.”
Yeah.

But honestly, my ambition?
Be a pilot. Travel the world. See new things. Endless learning. But if I say I wanna be a pilot, not everyone’s gonna take you seriously.

How about my dream? Dreams are big things.
A professional kayaker/canoer. Represent Singapore in the Olympics. Or travel the world, doing new things across rivers, lakes or whatever. Adventure.

But please. This is Singapore I guess. No one’s gonna take you seriously if you say something like that if you’re not in the Singapore Sports School.
And you’ll just end up being preached on how that isn’t a REAL job or career.

So much for dreaming big.

I Hope You Dance

Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean takin’ chances, but they’re worth takin’
Loving might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
Dance.

As I Lay Here

Yeah, like Wanfong, I’m pretty bummed over Germany’s loss.

That morning was spent at Simpang with Nick, Cheeyang, Sheep, Terence and Mr Anwar and gang. It was funny though, Wanfong and I were both in Germany T-Shirts and there were a hell lot of Spain supporters there.

Anyway 1-0 to Spain, thanks to Torres, which is all Lehmann’s fault IMO.

Cabbed to Cheeyang’s awesome house which has awesome things with awesome people. Left at around 7am, and I saw TK people on the way to school. Ah so I went home and ended up going to school and arriving only in the midst of Chinese lessons.

Alright I heard shocking news from Jasper this morning about someone and this Sunday is our last last last last final last kayaking training.
