The Retrocession

This week is happening enough. Russian Elementary Course ended with an interesting dinner at Zeffir. At Dunlop Street. I wonder why I didn't take pictures of the place, but the traffic conditions were bad. Anyway it's my first time trying Russian food. Potatoes, lotsa meat, but no chilli. It's always fun to try new things, but it's not my cup of tea hahaha. BUT THEY'VE GOT AWESOME SOUP. The next time I come I will try all their soups! And then we have ADIDAS SUNDOWN! Talking about chionging, it was a disappointing results comparedto last year's. I realised ever since I ORDed I have became a weakling. :( Wasting time doing stupid things I guess. It turned out that I spent my time camwhoring while running. Much to the annoyance of the other runners I guess? HAHAHAHA. It is indeed fun running in such large events. During our IPPT and NAPFA even though no one is tekan-ing us there will always be this innate mon...

昨天，一位许久不见的同班同学突然打电话来。 一阵寒暄问暖后，他问晚上有没有空一起吃饭。 他说现在有做些生意，很久没有跟老朋友联络，很是挂念。 自己已经听出了一点端倪，但是还是给了他那个 Benefit of Doubt 。 茶余饭后，他就开始推销自己的 事业 了。 我有一点expected，所以也就听进去了，反正自己到最后一定不会买账。 我，毕竟，是有原则的。 或者也可以归类为stubborn啦。 他就说道：“小时候很多人都梦想有大房子，很有势咧！”“很多人都梦想有辆跑车，很有势咧！”“大家梦寐以求的工作，就是翘脚慢活却又能赚大钱！”“你要用一辆mercedes追美眉，还是用一辆哦普普通通的Nissan Sunny？” 幹，我从小就知道勤俭是种美德（虽然存了20年也没有多少，哈哈哈）。 我也真的没有这种爱慕虚荣的心态。 Being Attention-seeking is one thing, Vanity is another. [29/12/11: Oh, now got this new concept... The boss will personally come down to "guide" and "nurture" 10~30 new talents but this is only limited period of time... It's a great opportunity not to be missed! 老板亲自指导喔 ……！ I don't really care if your boss 指导 or not. In fact he should, since all you guys are rolling money in for him. He is the greatest 金主, who doesn't need to do much and wait for money to be generated based on commissions...] 没有钱，我的确无法过活。 但是，用 金钱 跟 爱好 相比，我宁可选择 爱好 。 当然啦，它的前提context是我得有一点点钱。But then again, Ar...

Sometimes, I wonder why I have friends like that. Or is it Marists all like that?

I'm sorry if I am in a hurry and never said Hi. Sometimes too tired lah huh. I wonder why sometimes people so scared to hold responsibilities. What's wrong with holding something responsible when you know that this particular issue can be resolved/done. 最后我誓言，凡是值得我做的事，我愿心怀喜悦，达至完美。

  咲い た咲いた 星の破片が 月の裏側で泣いていた 気付かぬうちに 隠れてた兎もまた弧描く 咲いて咲いて 月にお願い 穏やかな影に薄化粧 知らず知らず えいやと投げた 蕾は行方知れず 咲いて咲いた 風に揺られて 穏やかな坂は薄化粧 下駄鳴らして 口笛合わせ 凛として はんなりの 心     Today went back to Maris Stella, because it’s Open House. Maris Stella is damn awesome now, Band 3!!! And the infrastructure is getting so much better. I am so proud to be a Marist.     And I need my brother to read more Chinese books. HOW?!?!?!  

Nun menghijau gunung ladang dan rimba Langit nan tinggi bertambah birunya Deru angin turut sama berlagu Semuanya bagaikan turut gembira Just went for a Hari Raya Dinner "Seloka Lebaran". Random Malay songs that I haven't been hearing for quite some time. I still remember, it was quite a feat to see myself surrounded by Muslims who were waiting for Iftar in the foodcourt, while the radio was tuned to wait for the prayer call hahaha. Long long time ago, when we still stayed in that ulu-ulu kampung in Negeri Sembilan... Haha nostalgia. Esok akan pergi JB dengan DJL and Henry William. YAY.

Just watched A Christmas Carol with KS and Jianda. Haven’t seen them for a LONG LONG TIME, especially Jianda so pathetic go and take China Studies……….. Why must we be so stupid to be stepping stones? The show was so touching towards the end. Well it’s a good ending right? God bless us, and bless everyone! I am gonna watch this movie again, it would be much better in 3D =) Anyone wanna come? Boredom to the max. Life sucks totally now. I HATE THIS. So much better if I were dead, then can play with the ghosts in hell. ARGH it sucks being alone at home now.

“Hi boy, your Sec 3 results doesn’t really seem convincing…. at all. Why do we have to accept you into our course?” “Because I have a very strong interest and it has always been around my life… And I really want to create something entirely new for our nation and communities.” So this kid was accepted into Singapore Polytechnic, School of the Built Environment. But then, his mother made him reject the offer instead, due to various VERY FORESEEN circumstances. So, this dumb kid ended up in a school “prestigious” school known as National Junior College. See, people in SP got LIFE one, ok. Stuck in a school where everybody is mugging and it’s awkward not to mug, what kind of life experience do you expect to gain from this? In ancient China those studious people study so hard just to attend the Imperial Examinations. What is their syllabus? 八股文。Fixed format with fixed content. Just memorise and regurgitate. Of course we do see successful scholars who are useful to the nation, ...
