It always feels like this before a book-in, no matter where I go. Like there's never enough time. Like I'm all alone here, wallowing. Will I continue feeling this way one year down the road? Will I ever get used to the concept that my life outside is oh so limited? I keep staring at the clock, incessantly wondering what I should do so as to not let the fleeting time go to waste.What do you do

Quick post before I sleep.Currently in SCS. Life there's been good so far, but it's only the first week. Training's gonna get tougher, but they say Echo's welfare coy. Haha. Quite weird to hear the words 'lepak', 'chillax' and 'relax' used so many times in one day, especially in the army.Met up with AMEX (lol) a few times over the past couple of weeks. It's heartening to see the bond that has

On Attend C. Food poisoning, possibly due to cookhouse. Spent most of Christmas with diarrhea, abdominal pain and vomiting. Feeling tired, a little sleepy. To be expected I suspose, since it's almost midnight.This year has been eventful, tough and good. NS changed a lot for me, in both good and bad ways. Now POP is in sight. I didn't wish to take status for these last two weeks, but well, shit

Hey, it's been a while. How've you been? Busy lately?That's what I should be saying, instead of staring at your contact on MSN, afraid I'd get something like 'Sorry, busy now, some other time...' in response.Old friends. I don't know why I have the sudden urge to talk to you. You just came into my mind during mass yesterday, when I felt the Spirit move within me, almost bringing me to tears. I

Sandy has left for China. The house seems quieter without her, not in a good way. She possesses a spark that lights up the whole house, even when she's whining or sitting there watching TV. Haha. Guess what I'm trying to say is that I miss my little sister.In other news, I'm on Attend C and currently at home, 'resting'. It's kinda funny actually. We were ordered to report sick for our cough to

2011-10-07T07:22:00.000-07:00

This thought struck me. It's not that I've never noticed. Maybe I have, and just pushed it aside. I have a Blogger account, a Wordpress account, a Tumblr account and a Facebook page for my Tumblr. I think this translates to a severe craving for attention. To be read, to be seen, to be heard.Why do we do the things we do? Success has always been, to me, about getting noticed. Has always been about

Well, I can't blog about NS life, so I'll just say I'm back and I'm still alive. Life's been okay so far. Commanders are quite nice. Super tanned now.Feeling weak and tired now. Air in Tekong is super fresh. Once I got back to Pasir Ris, my nose began to act up. Sian. Oh well. Mom says my complexion is better now. Yay.I should probably sleep soon. Whole body feels sore. Hope I don't fall sick ><

2011-09-04T08:52:00.000-07:00

Thank God for today. It has been, to say the least, a really full day today. Mass, badminton, mahjong, then BBQ. No time for even an afternoon snooze. Haha. Mass today was amazing. It really felt like the mass itself was meant specially for me. It just gave me so much affirmation, like God was saying 'Go for it. It will work out.' Reconciliation, desperation, unity. Everything just hit home.

2011-08-30T10:00:00.000-07:00

The date looms ever closer. In slightly more than a week, I'll be going in. Selene was asking me if I'm ready. Honestly, I don't know how to be ready. Got a lot of advice from various people, things ranging from pray every day to forgoing all manner of logic. I'm really thankful for all the tips, folks. Truly. But I guess NS is something best experienced, not talked about. So...here goes nothing!

2011-08-17T09:51:00.000-07:00

Half-based on a true story. I wish the ending was part of that half, but life doesn't always work out like the storybooks, do they? Nonetheless, enjoy :) Sheets of Glass by Daryl Bong I saw her from the corner of my eye, as I was walking past the restaurant at the mall. There she was, engrossed in a conversation with someone I didn't recognise, and there we were, separated by a sheet of glass.

It's been a while. Pretty busy the past week. Going out a lot. Time is quickly dwindling away, leaving me with little more than a week before the drudgery which is National Service begins. Went to Ikea today, then home, followed by a wake. I was thinking once again about how the Chinese take it upon themselves to turn every occassion into an opportunity for a party. It's kinda cool actually.

We hurt so easily and without thinking. Very often, we do it without even realising what we've done. Hurting comes so naturally. It's almost as if we were created to do it.But we all know that's not true, that while we are created with the capacity to hurt, we were also created with the capactiy--and purpose--to love. It's a hard fact to swallow, because the human brain doesn't like anything it

2011-07-26T08:47:00.000-07:00

Been reading a lot of bad crap about Iron Man 2 recently, even though the movie was released like a year ago. Most people say it's not a proper movie and that it didn't have a proper plot. I thought the 2nd movie revealed a lot more about Tony Stark as the man behind the suit, and was more true to the character than the first. Plus it had more of a plot than all three Twilight movies combined.

2011-07-22T04:33:00.001-07:00

I'm very blessed to have received affirmation so many times over the course of my 20 years of life. I will always remember one incident in an old folks' home, where this elderly woman told me I played beautifully after a group of us Catholic kids performed for them. I know she was senile, and probably didn't process half of what I was doing, but I'll never forget that smile on her face, how she

2011-07-18T08:34:00.000-07:00

Hmm. Okay, so the past few days, something bad happened. I slipped up yet again, and now what seemed like a much-needed change has turned out to be just another short-lived break. I need prayers, and a lot of strength.I was thinking yesterday night. It's seriously so easy to say 'No' to the devil. But it's even easier to say 'Yes', and that scares me.Now I just feel buried under iniquity. I don't

God is good. I wanna share something that happened just about an hour plus ago. Thought about putting this on the STAC blog, but I think the content's not really appropriate.This might sound really dumb, but I've been dying to watch the Avengers cartoon for some time, but for one reason or another, I keep missing the show.

Find myself coming to blog more and more often.Had lunch with my grandaunt and her granddaughter today. I don't know her name, but she's such a sweetie pie. Haha. Primary 1 this year I think. Super cute and filled with energy. We went to this place where all the staff spoke my grandma's dialect, so naturally, she spoke up a storm with them. Not that language has ever been a barrier for her.Went

One of the many changes STAC has sparked in me. I thank God that there's something to look forward to every week, whether I was in poly or even now, just slacking and doing nothing.Went for Amplify's Welcome

Perhaps I'm overthinking things, as I usually do. But I feel like there's a rift that's been growing between us, and as my heart asks why, my head does not like the conclusions I'm jumping to.You were once a bright light to me, someone to be groomed and taught, someone who would see the world the way I saw it. Saw, because I no longer see it the same way anymore. Maybe that's why. Or maybe you've

Angry.At times like this, I miss my fellow fanboys (Cleon and Adam mainly), because I can't go up to anyone from Haising or STAC and go, "Some asshole called Thor a B-list superhero."

There is nothing unthinkable that passes through a man's mind, only what is labeled acceptable, and what is not. "Except Wolverine. I'm his appointed swinger." - Spider-Man I've come to the point I've always feared. The point that I used to tell myself, in my immaturity, would never come to pass. Uncertainty. Doubt.

We had our STAC Amazing Food Trail 2010 yesterday, and I personally had lots of fun. My phone's battery was leaking, so I had to borrow Uncle Sam's for the rest of the day.

Life is a race worth running when you know what awaits you on the other side of the track."And in the end, what reward did you get? I think I know. A family." - Tenenbaum, BioshockWow. Finally finished Bioshock. Last boss was kinda shitty. But still, the ending cutscene was rather touching. A little too fast though. I think it didnt give the player enough time to truly absorb everything. Great

Happy the child who does not see the true face of the world."Public transportation is for jerks and lesbians!" - Homer Simpson, The Simpsons Won't you let me in?It's been really happening recently.

The wrongdoer seeks forgiveness, while the fallen seeks redemption."You looney loofat!" - Mr. Krabbs, Spongebob SquarepantsAnother week more, and ITP will officially be over. Am I looking forward to school? Hmm, not really. I don't like change, and I've grown complacently accustomed to 'working' life at ARICC. But oh well.

It is not the rites or rituals that make up the religion, but the followers and their faith."This is so much wrong thing. Like matches with its box." - Ris LowWas quite disappointed today when it didn't rain. My once-a-year miracle didn't take place. Oh well. I guess God wants me to focus on what's truly important.It was bloody warm today, in contrast to the usual rainy Good Fridays in the past.

Won't you wait? Would it be selfish of me to ask it of you? But even if I asked, you would not listen. This is one of the signs of your growth.How much I miss you.

All things come to an end, but all ends must also have beginnings."Don't ever think. Remember that, kids." - Ellen DegeneresSaw this girl on the train a few days back, after dinner at Chilis (will elaborate more on dinner later). Super cute. She was listening to her iPod and mouthing the lyrics to some song I could not recognise. The funniest part was, she was dancing on the spot. Not outright

Unlike reality, fiction never dies, but goes on forever as long as man dares to dream."Every Villain is Lemons. Also known as EVIL!" - Realistic Fish Head, SpongeBob SquarePantsI'm feeling bad. Because I was venting my frustrations on the people I love. My own perspectives are so warped right now, I can't even see straight. My skewered sight is slowly failing.Looking back at my life, I realise

Growth is often the most painful part of being alive."Then we ask Bryan to take out his boxe(r)s..." - LouiseSo tired. Its later, but I can't sleep. Not yet anyways. Will be letting Cleon down. Torque is a stupid engine, and the entire 3DLDS module this sem is retarded. We're not learning anything viable from the lectures, and everything else is self-taught through painfully tedious experimenting

One who looks up is one who dares to dream."Tony Stark is in Singapore. He's on his way now." - Reed Richards, Last Planet StandingThings are looking up. Been reading a lot of comics. Brubaker's Daredevil is awesome stuff. Really dark, true-to-life. And most of all, bad-ass. Funny how much one can learn from comics. Was reading Spider-man as well. Life can be so meaningless without enemies, or

If nothing has been done, how can we ever step back to admire anything?"I need to take some samples..." - Grace, AvatarAvatar is frickin' epic. I strongly encourage everyone who has ever watched a movie to catch it. It's not just CGI and shit. There's actual acting and it's literally a whole new world down there. My goodness it's so damn amazing I can't stop talking and thinking about it O.O!!!!
