You were happy once....... with me.
These couple of days has been unusually solemn and cold. Ever since my off day last Thursday, i realised i've been keeping to myself. Emptiness, loneliness or whatsoever it is, i'm not sure of myself either. Perhaps it could be the fact that my enlistment is just round the corner, but it's never something i would be bothered by it. Nevertheless, one thing for sure, is that, i'm starting to think again...
.
.
.
6 years ago, i never knew what's right, what's good, or even what I wanted. Hooking myself on the phone everyday, dialing the same number again and again. Studies has never been my precedence because the only thing i had in mind and ever want to do, is simply to hear a voice over and over again. A voice that's so ever sweet and innocent, it became a drug to me.
Without realising, the drug was strong and addictive. So strong so addictive, you got into it too. Everything seems perfect and everlasting, with not a slightest hint, that it's just a bubble, simply a fragile vapor, waiting to burst off.
Losing crave for the drug, i simply let myself go. I never thought that i'll lose it forever. Even when the odds are all stacked against me, i never gave the slightest attention to it. The day i heard the same voice again, the same voice which accompanied me for months, that's when i realised it seems likes such fun, until i lose what i've won.
I saw your pretty smile, your familiar voice and a guy. The guy, whom i used to picture myself to be by your side, was simply a dream. When the dream's over, the guy was never to be. It's someone else. I've only myself to blame and kill, for which i hanged myself high and up, for which i never appreciated you and for which i knew i never deserve you.
Even the day i saw you again, you could only smile and nod with your arms round the guy next to you, and all that i could, was simply, smile too. I'll never be able to change what's been and gone...
5 years ago, the word 'love' came to me. The countless calls, the countless waiting, the countless joy, the countless arguments, the countless me and you, all the countless time spent, was spread out for a very long, long 3 years. Though i tried to be a better man, i've failed times and times. I never thanked for what you've have been and done. As i thought i could thank you for that but i'll never get a chance.
The tears i saw and wiped away from you, was enough to sentence me at least 3 death penalties. I knew i'm never a perfect one for you, simply too naive hoping to be one. The day i bid you goodbye, was the day i want you to be full of joy.
The promises i made and the sorrows i gave, i wish i could take them all away. But you and i know, the joy and fun was simply part of it. It gave us some place to go and hide, and i'll thank you for that...
2 days back, when i'm walking home after a day's of work, in the midst of my deep thoughts, i glazed up the sky and the round full moon greeted me yet again. Probably it's the 15th day of the current lunar month, and with that, it brought me back 14 months.
14 months ago, it is the same full moon which accompanied me for quite some occasions. I used to look straight up the moon whenever i'm walking back home during that period of time. Somehow the moon acts as a guiding light for me, and at the same time, i will tell myself, the one i wish to be be my side was never to be, but i'm glad cause i knew i was never alone.
The long journey home back then was ever cold and dark. Loneliness and sadness were the only 2 who joined me throughout the long long path. On days, when i asked myself what am i doing, and what i really want, i looked at the moon and i'll be greeted with a smile, a ever cold white smile, which never fail to fade off.
Back then, i was trying to be someone, and that i forget who i really am. Searching for something i thought i lost, thus every time i try to make a difference, but i end up doing more harm. The day i paused, stopped and realised that even when it's tough to be myself, it's not to be someone else, you asked me why.
A why which i couldn't even explain myself. For which you know, you have hurt me deep, and for what i've ever done for you, you know that probably there's no one, no one else, ever in this world, who could have done it, just for you...
4 months ago, for weeks and months i'll be sleeping all day, staying up all night. I'll be writing stories, computing analogies, gaming all night, just to pass my time. I never knew where i'm heading and what to do with all my time.
You showed me what i could do with my time, spent my birthday with me and shared with me your past. You brought me the fun and joys with the numerous nights. On sleepless nights, i knew where i can head to and spend some wonderful quality time. On lonely days, you gave me stuff to view and watch.
I shared my knowledge in exchange for a better ties. I did stuff i told myself never to do so. I hate myself at times but I never knew i'll fall so deep. One day, i decided to gave up all these, for which i knew letting go is the only option for me. I'll thank you for this, and we will never stop moving forward, even if one day, we have to go our separate ways...
Prior to these backtracking of my past, i've got 2 notes to share:
1. Will you give up hearing or sight if you have to?
Short fact about senses; when one passed away, sight is the first to go off, and hearing's the last.
I'll forfeit sight if i have to. No particular reason. Probably i prefer see no evil than hear no evil.
2. Given a chance to turn back the time, which part of your life will you change?
I'll do the extreme; turn back to the time i wasn't born. No particular reason yet again, probably the ugly mankind sets me this thinking.
Alright, give some thoughts to these 2 whenever you're free for some thinking.
Till then.
May Angels Lead You In

There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god couldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.

Hold on
Been some time since i last posted a blog. Finally got my day off, after working 9 days straight in a row. A couple of stuff has happened since the whole of last week, and they are things mainly related to work.
First and foremost, my first in-charge, aka the sarap(rubbish in Malay) Don has been transferred to Levi's Tampines(LTM), Men's Store. The pillar of all lame and dirty jokes is not longer seen luking around at Levi's Plaza Singapura(LPS).
As a result, our second in-charge, Mel will be the only senior and in-charge around in LPS. And that spells trouble. Trouble for which we are gonna get tempers thrown at us for nothing, countless of re-folding of jeans and tops to be done, and no-nonsense working attitude to be display at all times.
The 2 days before the official hand-over of the store to my second-in-charge, she was throwing her temper all around. Of cos, i wasn't spare the rod. Was reprimanded for nothing, and at some point of time, i felt like i'm being treated unfairly. Come to think again, i'm just a part-timer yet i'm working way off my job scope and schedule.
The whole of last month, my working hours are 217hours. As a part-timer, i just have to clock 22hours per week, which means 88hours per month. Even as a full-timer, they just have to do 44hours per week, and anything after 176hours for the month is consider over-time work.
Of cos, i did it at my own will. But the point i wish to stress was that, they should appreciate the fact that i'm helping them out alot with my schedule as they are really short of staff. Instead of dedicating tasks to me in a more reasonable and fair way, i was reprimanded for nothing and asked to do things that are way beyond my job scope.
My colleague Desmond was telling me, just do whatever a $5/hour job should do, will be enough. "Work smart not work hard." But even he could see that my second in-charge likes to dedicate the tasks to me, even though Desmond could be just 2 steps away from her, but she would call for me when i'm miles apart from her.
Put aside all these small unhappiness i faced with my work, i must admit i have learnt alot in retail line. Prior to working at Levi's, i haven't had any experience in retail, thus this 2 month stint has be rather intriguing experience for me. 2 more weeks to go and i'll end my working spell at Levi's.
For my last week of relaxation before my enlistment day, i haven't really decide what and how to spend it. Probably i need to do some packing for my stuff and get whatever i need to for my 2 weeks confinement. Time really flies. Seems like only yesterday when i was still hanging around net, gaming and downloading animations to watch. Now, it's already mid-August.
I used to say, "your shadow and time" is the best of pals who will never leave you. Time has definitely show it's worth. It's something which will stay with you, yet never able to feel it's with you. Cos even now, as you read this, the previous second is gone and you're already into the next second of time.
To whoever out there, hold on, and may the force be with you.
Till then, Rock on!
Hold On
Jet
You tried so hard to be someone
That you forget who you are
You tried to fill some emptiness
Till all you had spilled over
Now everything's so far away
That you don't know
Where you are
You are
When all that you wanted
And all that you have
Don't seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to belong to
When it's hard to be yourself
It's not to be someone else
Still everything's so far away
That you forget where you are
You are
When all that you wanted
And all that you have
Don't seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
Hold on (x8)
When all that you wanted
And all that you have
Don't seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to belong to

Everytime
Simple Plan
It was 3am when you woke me up
And we jumped in the car and drove as far as we could go
Just to get away
We talked about our lives
Until the sun came up
And now I'm thinking about
How I wish I could go back
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
And everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
You left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
All I need is one more day with you
When the car broke down
We just kept walking along
Till we hit this town
There was nothing there at all
But that was all okay
We spent all our money on stupid things
But if I looked back now, I'd probably give it all away
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
My life's been in disarray
All I want is one more day
All I need is one more day with you
Now I'm sitting here, like we used to do
I think about my life and how now there's nothing I won't do
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right (Everything feels right)
Everytime I hear your name
Everytime I feel the same
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
You walked away
Just one more day
It's all I need, just one more day with you
Simple Plan

Words can't say what love can do..
Been working and working for the past 1 month and so now. Everyday i'll either get up at 9am for my morning shift or 11am if i'm doing afternoon shift. On days when i blogged, it's probably like today whereby i'm on afternoon shift thus i try to make use of some of my time to post some thoughts. Work has taken most of my time and there are couple of things i'm missing out alot. And that's to play and to think.
Today is the 7th of August and it marks the last month of my time before i head in Tekong to serve the nation. I'll be continuing my job at Levi's till the end of August, spend some time with my family and hopefully some friends before the start of my monk days. Throughout this period of work at Levi's, i've learnt quite alot of stuff. May it be work related things or not, the explosure to more human interactions has definitely taught me alot.
I guess that's what all humans do in life. We learn to be a better man with the things we see but of cos, not all are like that. Some are leaders, some are followers, it's just a matter of which side you fall on.
For me, it's pretty simple. Just take my work as an example, whenever i face a nasty customer, chances is that i'll get irritated and i'll tend to show kinda bad attitude towards them, just like most of you guys reading. Not to say all salesperson are like me, cos i know some have real good patience. After the particular customer has left, that's when the learning part comes. Everytime i get nasty customers, at the end of the day, i'll ask myself, will i do what he/she did when i'm a customer myself?
If my answer is a, "probably i might just be like that", i think to be fair to him/her, i just have to accept it and then practise the more polite and considerate behaviour when i'm a customer myself next time. And of cos, i'll try to show more patience when i'm serving them. This is bits and pieces of what i've learnt during my work. To see, to hear, to interact, is to be better man.
Yesterday night i spend some time reminiscing back the years. 2 weeks back when i attended my graduation ceremony, i felt that my 3 years in NYP is a complete stranger to me. Part of the reason was that, there's really nothing in the campus that's worth having a second look at it. Of cos, i've contributing nothing back to the school as well, and probably that's why i felt zero cohesion to NYP.
Attending lectures and tutorials faithfully during my first 2 years, slacking off my time during my last year, doing projects and projects for 3 years, doing shitty compilations for all the projects, making friends and foes and at the end of the day, just to get a piece of paper.
No doubt i'm a merit holder, whereby some of my friends will look at me with eyes of envy, and of cos, it has help me to be able to get a place in NUS. But till now, i still believe what we been taught and learnt in school isn't 100% measured by grades. Just because Singapore is a practical society just like anywhere in this dog-eat-dog cruel world, whereby education level counts every bit, we just have to be competitive on our grades. Fighting till our last breath trying to get a place in University, hoping to be a degree holder, so as to at least be able to find a better job.
There's this saying; "Never judge a book by its cover". Ain't we judge by how colorful our certificates were? Of cos, those CCAs and testimonials during attachments to companies, play a part too, but it's not difficult to see, grades took 70-80% off the total percentage for which how good you are, whether you're up to a job or just a seat in University.
Morale of the story, life is so short yet we have to spend 20 years of life studying just to survive in this world.
Learning is not compulsory... neither is survival.

I went through my emails, gunbounds pictures and some sites last night and i had a short smile at the end of it. Gunbound is another thing which has kept me occupied since the start of 2005. Make friends through guild, and had some outings as well. Funny as it sounds or seems to be, everyone started off as virtual friends and probably it's because of that, we are less skeptical towards each other? We will be nice to each and everyone, and at some point of time, i felt they are closer than my friends made in real life. But of cos, there's always a limit and difference between friends and friends made through net.
I've already left the guild for some reasons, but it's strictly personal reasons with no offence in mind. The days i had in Gunbound can never ever be exchanged for anything in this world. I may sound emotional or what, but just imagine online almost 10 hours per day just gaming with a friend day in day out, i believe it is more than just a habit.
Haven't been playing for weeks now, especially after the start of my work, and friends i used to play with till wee hours are also no longer active. Everyone has his/her own life, and it's only natural that everyone see things differently with different perspectives. Every banquet has its own ending. Time is the only deciding factor. Just want to say a big "Dank u" to the one who has been playing with me for the countless hours of fun. Things will never be the same again..
"Learn to forget the tough times, but never forget what it has taught you."
Gotta run for work now. Took me an hour just to type this post. Anyway, shall leave you guys with the song "I'll be there for you" by Bon Jovi.
I may not be the one you miss or love, but when there's no one out there, i'll be there for you.
Till then.
I'll Be There For You
Bon Jovi
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love it's suicide
You say you're cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we're had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
[Solo]
And I wan't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for

I may not be the one you miss or love, but when there's no one out there, i'll be there for you.
Till then.
I'll Be There For You
Bon Jovi
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love it's suicide
You say you're cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we're had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
[Solo]
And I wan't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for

Psychologist?
1) I often think about what makes people do what they do.
2) I like reading about new findings that scientists have discovered doing behavioral research.
3) I am often skeptical when someone tries to persuade me about behavioral claims, unless there is evidence to back up the claim.
4) I like the prospect of measuring behavior and doing statistics to determine meaningful differences.
5) I can usually come up with multiple explanations to account for behavior.
6) I could come up with ideas to research to help explain behaviors I am curious about.
7) I am often approached by others who want me to listen to their problems and share my ideas about what to do.
8) I don't get especially frustrated if I can't get answers to my questions.
9) I am usually careful with details.
10) I enjoy writing and speaking about things I am learning.
11) I like to solve puzzles.
12) I feel comfortable that psychology can provide me with an education that will lead to a good job.
Got these 12 short true/false quiz from Crystal's blog. As i was reading them, i was pretty taken back. Reason? Any guy out there who knows me well enough, will definitely be able to answer for me all the above questions.
Question 1-12, they are all true for me. I almost felt the questions were all catered for me to give nothing but a big nod to them. Perhaps question 12 is the only skeptical question for me to give a complete agreement to it.
So, Crystal, am i kinda equipped to do Psychology in that sense?
Last note about the 20% storewide Levi's discount this weekends, most of the popular wash of the men's and ladies bottoms are not for discount. All 501's for men's and ladies, most 577, selected 593 599, tops, belts are available for the 20% discount. Probably 501 are the ones to look out for.
Fingers crossed for that during the weekends, there won't be much inconsiderate customers messing up the bottoms stacked neatly on the shelves. Probably impossible to have zero customers like that, just hope it's cut to the bare minimal.
Till then.

Just got back home after a chill-out with my colleagues. It's a night probably i'll remember for life. After hanging out with our gal colleague and the famous talk of all the topics, the fox gal, over at McCafe, the 2 other guy popped the idea of party down China Black. Money was the only hindrance for me and Desmond, so Don suggested to drop down Devil's Bar since he's member and drinks on him! BUT, Desmond and i are only 20. Speaking about 1985.. What a cold blanket.
Newton circus and Breeko were the 2 other suggestions they had in mind. We finally settled for Newton and after some silly walks, we decided to hail a cab down. Not forgetting a rude taxi-driver who was literally shouting at us as Don and Desmond were walking towards his unoccupied cab. He was standing a distance away from his cab, and i think he's probably waiting for some other people. But his unexpected shout was kinda rude and since his cab has the light on, signaling for hire, i think we were in no wrong for a start. Where has the courtesy gone to?
Nevertheless, we got to Newton around 12+ and we started chatting as we down our glasses. And it's a long chat which stretches till 4am. Don, the pastor for the night told us some true stories about himself and all his life experiences. They are definitely off the shelves and they are stuff you can't buy, you can't study or self-learn. A topic worth sharing over here:
"Nothing in this world is perfect."
True or false?
My arguement was that "perfect" this word itself is too broad to be define. To one, he/she may just be contented easily, thus his/her "perfect" is simple. On the other hand, to another person, "perfect" is more than just the surface of things.
There are few other topics we discussed, and many of which are enriching. Probably too long and complex for me to type them all here. Just some quick notes:
1) Don't predict things that will come, instead, anticipate what you will and have to do.
2) Never be a quitter; finishing a race is more important than the position you get.
3) Clear conscience moulds the best of you.
4) Entering a war with no plans in mind is as good as suicide.
5) Never too much to have Plan A-Z in mind.
6) If things are coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
7) Constant struggles keep you more competitive and determine in life.
Lastly before i leave for some rest, Levi's will be having 20% discount storewide on this weekends. Not sure what are the items on discount yet. Shall update again. If you guys are interested, do drop by Levi's Plaza Singapura and i'll be glad to serve you. Zero commisions or anything for me, but just hope you guys get to enjoy the rare discounts given by Levi's.
Till then, Rock on!
