while pple get involved into getting the 5Cs in life, namely, cash, car, credit card, condo and membership of country club, they din know that they are stepping into a world of 4Ds... Despression, Death, Disease and Debts..
was having HRM(human resource management) lecture that day and like what he always do.. the lecturer will start the lesson off with some emo/meaningful thingy.. and he showed this to us.. do ignore the last slide!
and i do agree..old age is like a bank account..you withdraw in later life what you have deposited along the way... and looking back.. tho my life is far from bring termed as extraordinary... it is not tt boring tho..
on another note.. sometimes i really think tt sporeans are really inconsiderate! out of the 2 weeks tt i took train to sch with my right foot wrapped.. only one day an auntie offered me her seat (beside her are two young pple busy playing with their psp).. i guess maybe i should look more fraile or i shd just faint infront of them..seriously my foot shd have recovered much earlier if there are more considerate pple ard...
and finally i can feel that sch has already started.. gonna start lab this sun..yes.. back to the 0800 to 2000 per day life... plus design proj starting.. i hope i can make some constructive contributions.. dun really like to free-ride..
the final sem has started... yet feeling abit weird cos i dun feel much diff from hols... think can't get used to the 1 lect per day sys... as compared to past sems... it was really a norm to go sch at 0930 and end at 1930... we hardly get out of sch when the sky is still bright... yeaps.. but i guess this is shortlived cos all the projects haven start yet... n i can't do my fyp due to my injury... oh wellz.. shall pia watever part of report first..
and.. to announce here abt my big plan... in order not to be saddened by anymore injuries in the future... i shall.. step into the vball court only after I've lost 10kg of my weight! haha.. sounds ambitious but i hope i can stay determined..to prevent any disappointments.. but still.. sometimes find it hard to concentrate on wk when im hungry.. oh no.. i hope i dun give in so soon! n hope tt soon u all will see a slimmer prettier fang.. heh
school is finally starting for me tml.. aft the self proclaim holidays for the pass 3 days due to my injury.. can't really believe that its the last sem for me in uni.. time sure flies.. soon in a few mths time i will say good bye to all the lectures.. the laughter with frens and the torture we've been thru.. i guess i shd really enjoy this sem.. b4 i start to miss anything... omg its the first time tt i am actually motivated to go back to sch.. wonder how's everyone aft 1 mth?
was supposed to update on the things but was too tired or sian to type anything.. oh wellz... from the last post can tell tt im not in qt a good mood for the past week... sick of injuring myself everytime and the whole cycle jus repeats themselves... like when i start to build back wat i could do in vball.. ill defnitely injure myself.. and i have to rest for 1 or 2 mths and then everything starts from zero again... then when i stop.. my weight will start to gain and it will be harder for me to build back anything... maybe the one up there wants to tell me something.. ahhh.. i duno... oh wellz.. this post is supposed to highlight on the new year...mood totally dampened by my leg.. the only good thing tt i tot of was tt luckily we din managed to book the chalets at ubin.. if we did.. n i missed this.. i definitely cry seriously...
this year is slightly different from the past years... tho we, ning joel ken jc will meet up for countdown each year... this year's countdown means something more different.. it marks the 10th year tt we've known each other... its definitely not easy for us to stay tgt aft 10 years.. we each have our own new frens.. our own programmes.. from the similar us.. dunman high.. to the not-so similar us.. ning in poly while the rest of us in jc.. n joel in tj while im in hc while cheng cheng n ken in vj.. until the totally diff us pursueing our diff interests in uni... cheng cheng in archi.. ning in biz..ken n joel in acct while im in chem eng... new pple come into our lives and such.. we change.. everything ard us changes...but despite all these changes.. the love we have for each other as frens have nv changed... i am really fortunate to have known these peeps..(not forgeting the some other good frens that i've made over the years... im really fortunate in this)
ok so the meetup started off with cheng cheng's preparation of the carrot cake with the help from his fren! since it is supposed to be kept as a secret.. he came over to my hse the day before to store and do some last min touch up.. so here goes
putting the raisins on top
tada! here's the cake but not very sure why is it rotated this way
cheng cheng keeping the cake
and i've decided to do something nice for them.. i guess.. its true tt when ur mood isn't good.. watever tt u did are not nice too.. hahaha.. so guilty.. cos i think the most cui one was ning's one.. sry ger... while.. the best one is joel's one which i did last...
ning's.. forgot to take pic of the interior of the cover.. it was our foto tgt.. somehow i felt that the back of the cd cover was qt nice.. haha...
then it was cheng's cheng's one... n i manage to make the back part stick to the theme of green! heh
then it was ken's one...
and the one which i tot was the best one.. is this! maybe its blue.. not very sure.. but felt tt the tiles were arranged/chosen appropriately.. and this design was really impromptu cos the idea of the black ring in the middle was only established after the second row was done...
then its the actual day.. ning brought her bf which i shall not mention his name due to some complications... the wait was quite long cos joel is preparing some food beforehand at his place(something abt joel which i do not know wat to say abt him.. haha..always does not mean what he wanna say.. initially he was commenting tt the food preparation was a big n he does not want any hassle.. yet now.. he is doing most of the cooking).. okayz.. so here are our dinner! added with my fav winter special pizza.. hahaz
then at midnite.. cheng cheng took out the cake tt was baked to celebrate our frenship! on the very first sec of 2009 we blew the candle tgt.. haha.. i quite like this foto tho.. the one with all of us blowing the candle then it was the struggle with my mini tiny mj.. hahhaa... it was qt a bad nite for me too... din win any sets throughout the whole round... and we took abt 6+ hr to clear 1 round.. hahha... cos.. amg them me n ning are the most pro one.. omg.. hahhaa.. tt was how bad the std is..
aft the long torturous session of mj we then switched to monopoly.. which i tot we will get sian diao by it after 1 aft... but we din! instead i guess all of us are hooked by it and it lasted for another 4 hrs.. haha.. im really surpirsed tt monopoly can last so long...but still my luck was oso suey for it.. either in jail or stepping at other pple's property.. not even given a chance to buy more property.. and worst still.. i was the first to step into joel's parklane with a hotel.. how ex was tt la... left with only 5 bucks aft selling my assets to him... and then.. the stayover ended aft ken n ning's bf woke up...
alrights.. wellz.. personally i think i din enjoy myself tt much like last year's new year celebration... i guess it was due to my leg... nt very sure why oso la... din felt much for this coming year... new year 08 i was hoping tt 08 will be a better year.. oh wellz.. it din.. so i shan't hope for anything in 09... compared to tt long list of new year resolution i had last time.. i can say this year i have nothing in tt list at all... my only wish is tt the loved ones around me (grandma.. parents.. cousins.. frens.. those who care abt me)will still be around me healthily and happily as usual... i hope that the one up there will make my small little wish come true..for me myself i really don't hope for other things already doubt tt i can find back the old cheerful self again or soon i think..
while paying up at the sinseh and on the trip back hm on cab.. tears kept rolling down.. somehow.. i failed to keep my tears back this time(i've nv cried in front of anyone, not even in front of my mom, before since 03 outside hwa chong hall the day after we lost our national finals cos tt was our last hope in a sch tournament to make it to finals).. it was really embarassing cos everyone was staring at me..even my mom asked me why i cried.. silence was my reply because even me myself do not know exact reason.. is it one reason or is it a combination of reasons? is it something which i can't do now in the short run or is it something which i think i've already lost forever?
the moment i hear the crack at my foot at nus court.. i noe these will happen
