Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard (played by Patrick Stewart) - Star Trek: Generations

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

Carl Jung

I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

Helen Keller

However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

Henry David Thoreau

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.

Leo Buscaglia

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain

There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy and a tragedy.

Mark Twain

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

Maria Robinson

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

Robert Frost

RAHHH!

since e beginning of the week there's been HUMUNGOUS piles of sight bills piling up for me to do. like on monday night i accumulated 24 to be brought over to tuesday, and then tuesday 32 (me and mrs chua had FIFTY in total) and today 28. WAH LAO.

i've been accumulating arnd 2hrs of OT every day. then tmr and friday mrs chua not around to help me shoulder other things like second mail, telex, mailing, special team and what nots etc, i'm going crazy! today mrschua advised me to just send out all my bills and ignore other things. haha.

saw MK for a few times when i went up to 10th floor to deliver LOIs for processing in CBD2. i'm awaiting for the day that i would drop by CBD1. heheh. his hair is quite flat these days but he's still far from 林启元 okay. xP and monday came a newbie which i think he look kinda rugged and nice i suppose. i was sitting beside him today as we're keying in things into the system when e girl whose table is on his right started talking to him. and i overheard him saying sth like no i'm attached. wooooot .

anyways looking forward to friday and saturday! how time flies when you're working hard! (: was telling some people that i'm already looking forward to as far as december! like i've started planning for tons of things! :DDDD

sometimes i do think i have a much larger streak of optimism than normal people. like now i should be panicking about no calls from nus or ntu for appeal interviews, which i do panick once in a while and i keep my phone with me during work. and you know what? i've pretty much planned out how my life would be in the next few months, be it i get into any uni or not (at this rate i'm doubting but i reckon i should be optimistic and stay hopeful)

although it's only june now, i would say 2008 is one of my most memorable years in my life. in fact, i would say it's the most memorable year so far. i took up so many projects, fell down along the way and got myself up again, started working for the first time, getting my first paycheck, starting to live a more independent life (in the money sense) and having a clear aim for my life currently.

i'm not a very sociable person and i tend to stay with people that i'm familiar with, so it's a good thing i still have those friends around. and the friendships that i've made and deepened in the past six months. let's keep them going! (:

and starting to work from scratch in my beloved alma mater. though the recent camp was something that i've not expected, but it's a start and first step out for us and the seniors nonetheless. with constancy and purpose! :D quite shiok that 9 generations turned up for the campfire! i'm very proud of myself that i managed to get one from the generation that always MIA, ie e 1988 batch. :D (and my thighs are still aching from the 100bitboots that me and rachel did on e 2nd day afternoon)

was telling yy yesterday on msn about my new eyecandy. he works in the same dept i'm in (MK is still my eyecandy but i seldom see him now. sigh) but the thing is that he can only be admired from afar. basically he aint that goodlooking (MK is definitely better looking than him) and he's like a mix of yuanwei (my malaysian brainy cousin) and loh zhiwen.

i started noticing him back in my compliance days when i hafta deliver e kyc forms to sylvia at 2nd floor (that's where i am now) for her stamp. not the looks part but the metrosexual part, cuz he was wearing those kinda pointy leather shoes and pastel colours for his top and bottom sometimes. and i thought he was a temp until yuanting clarified with me he aint. then i went to 2nd floor to work. havent start talking to him yet but i reckon he's nice.

felt positive about him on the day when e weighing machine beside a computer for printing dhl labels started beeping like crazy and i was helpless and then he came over and pressed zero for a long time until it stopped beeping. i was quite surprised/stunned. hehe.

the thing about e export department is that there's ALOT of male temps (unlike e kyc project where we had 4 guys and 4 girls just nice), so there's pretty much a variation of guys i would see over there. like another metrosexual guy who wore e acs sweater today (last friday he wore animal print jacket) and he looked like a weasel when he grins; a guy whom i initially cant decide whether he's a guy or girl until today; a guy who looked like some goody-two shoes; and some normal guys like weemeng (whom i'm taking over) but he wears a small button for his left ear today. what an eclectic mix.

i believe my stint in export dept would be more fruitful than e one in compliance, cuz i'm learning more real life things. kyc is just keying in info about the clients, which is quite unrealistic cuz any mistakes can be undone with a click of the mouse. at export we are handling real money (in terms of bills) and any mistakes might result in a loss. btw i overheard in a conversation of weemeng and another guy that btmu is the biggest bank in japan. and yet they have a shortage of permanent staff.

i'm finally having a sjab-less weekend, with me not going ndp tmr. i planned to sleep in but i'm going to see my grandparents off to hongkong and i hafta wake up at 6 (even worse than normal days). then at night gonna meet up with 0622. i'm feeling quite mixed about meeting up with this bunch of people because i havent been talking to them for ages and i suppose i would feel out of place. but well i shall make an effort to go meet them. i can always leave early. :D then sunday is waking up early again for driving lesson. =x

anyways. i'm quite happy now. heeeee. was telling ck and jl on sunday that i'm not looking for any potential bfs (they kept jio-ing me to find one) because currently i can't imagine myself settling down and stay committed with any of the guys i'm hanging out with or potentially have interest in. (ie my eyecandies) when i do feel that way towards a guy, then i guess that's when i would start to commit. otherwise all those random feelings i have would be crushes/infatuations/confusion.

ZOMG!

dunno why i just feel like using this term. :D

i'm such a spendthrift! ytd bought the set of super old manga that i've been eyeing since a few months ago and today i bought CRUMPLER! super shiok i tell you.

work was mundane as usual. ho. (ytd swung by compliance and did some catching up with sheryl cuz caren was on e phone. OOOHHH. how i miss those times) stayed back later cuz helping clarrick to do his LC stuff. (weemeng and mrschua was saying i'm helping the guy who is among the few that work the latest. ha) then walked over to national library to return books where i saw zhirong but he didnt recognize me! (he looked in my direction)

then walked over to suntec to see e pc show. 3rd floor and 4th floor were super crowded cann! i see until i damn sian. thankfully apple is on 6th floor, which was comparatively more deserted. ipod classic 80gb is still 388bucks, but with free silicone case, screen protector and capdase usb power adaptor. was quite tempted but i think i would opt for 10% discount since i might get it at 350bucks leh.

then walked over to raffles city to look at the crumpler bags. jianlin rushed over after hearing got the bag that he want (e fux deluxe). but there got no discount for citibank cards and we found out that the crumpler shop at paragon got the bag and so we went over (paragon outlet got discount for citibank). we managed to get our respective bags after much trouble but it's really worth it.

i'm damn happy now okay. :DD ros call me 拜金女 but i dun care because to me 钱是可以赚回来的, but such discounts are hard to come by okay. like how i told my aunt and uncle when i was in london: money is not an issue as long as you're okay with it. it's just about how to handle my parents. ha. and i still got dslite and ipod. think i'll secure my ipod first. ds can wait while i scrimp and save. ho.

has been doing alot of thinking these few days (especially since i'm stoning while working) and i've made up my decision regarding certain matters. this time i'll do my best to see them all through.

need to wake up like 7hrs later. goodnight! (:

edited:

i've actually stayed up the whole night reading the manga and not feel tired until i started heading for hq. so to count i'm like awake for more than 40hours liao. zomg. and i kept dozing off while sitting in e shelter at marina bay. e sun is damn hot i tell you. was kinda glad i can stay under shelter so that i wun have uneven tan. but i missed the times of stoning at the parade ground while waiting for the 45-60mins to pass by.

met up with shiyun zhikai dean weide zhiwen congshun for movie and i snuck a kfc meal up and e drink kinda leaked. so sorry shiyun. =x watched The Happening and i would recommend to those who don't watch gory movies (like me) please don't watch. i would say e starting was messy and for a while i don't understand what the story is about. and e moral of the movie only came by until e very end. was a bit sian diao by the movie cuz me and shiyun was practically closing our eyes for half the time. =x

okay i really need to sleep cuz i'm driving a car later and i predict a long day ahead. =x

hasn't been updating. too lazy to update (last week) or too busy to update. ha.

anyway last week went to 2 camps. first to ftpss's corps camp to help out in campcraft and teambuilding activities. going to that camp reminded me of my cadet days. AWWWW. i miss anderson.

next is otc camp, which gave me aching muscles and joints even till today. and lotsa mozzie bites which only start to itch after the camp. there was some difference in this year's camp as compared to 06, though e programs devised by innotrek is pretty much the same. i was pretty amazed that i can run up and down so much during the routemarch and during the 2nd day pt, when i cant even hit 5km when i run on my own.

i'll probably start running soon, but that's after my toenails drop out first. EWWWW. chuiyee says that it's because my shoes not big enough. sians.

but nonetheless, had lotsa fun with the wacky bunch of instructors and learnt more about each other, just like what hweepeng says. now i cant wait for the year-end activity! was telling qingjun for at least a few times about how excited i am during our last convo.

anyway. i went back to btmu to work again. now i'm in export dept (previously known as part of trade finance), handing bills. think i'm taking over the temp, weemeng, who is leaving next week. today went up to 10f with him and i met up with familiar colleagues. :D and while waiting for the guys to go for lunch (today's kenny's last day), was looking at one direction when MK appeared walking towards my direction and then past me. for a moment i didn't register him as MK but as someone else in btmu who has some sort of resemblance to him. it was until later then it struck me and yuanting + grace hehe-ed along.

i'm like super itching to buy lotsa things now. like dslite, crumpler and ipod. jianlin got discounts for crumpler and ipod so i'm going to get them slightly cheaper! :D if anyone has any lobangs for secondhand dslite please tell me! i want the red-black dslite!

p.s. i'm super in love with sodagreen (苏打绿) and JS lately. go listen to their songs! (:

JS - 逆风飞行

等不到明天 前方是极北的永夜
我只能感觉冷冷风雪
生命的残缺 我们曾经在爱里体会一些
重新出发之前 再一次痛快的体验

逆着风飞过地平线 我仿佛看见了昨天
曾经沮丧怀疑 终点是否会忽然晴空一片
逆着风飞越这世界 爱像是无尽的冒险
相信我会看见 曙光绽放在蔚蓝的海面

或许是疲倦 或之前的估计太过冷冽
我失足深陷 如今坠跌
总在最边缘 你握着我的手那样坚决
带我冲破考验 相信真爱永不会灭

逆着风飞过地平线 我仿佛看见了昨天
曾经沮丧怀疑 终点是否会忽然晴空一片
逆着风飞越这世界 爱像是无尽的冒险
相信我会看见 曙光绽放在蔚蓝的海面

想对昨天 说声再见
我要转身 飞向明天
像勇敢的战士 凝望着落日山颠
真诚壮烈

逆着风飞过地平线 我仿佛看见了昨天
曾经沮丧怀疑 终点是否会忽然晴空一片
逆着风飞越这世界 爱像是无尽的冒险
相信我会看见 曙光绽放在蔚蓝的海面

我们总会看见 传说的天堂
其实不遥远
