Nice Song... by this Singaporean by the name of Olivia Ong. Heard about her?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEoEyHNhXmc&feature=related
You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Then mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Guess I 'fall in love' with this song.

Are we really proud of the sliver ?
In the same night, same moment where our National women's table tennis team won the long-awaited sliver medal in the team event, our neighbouring Malaysia also ended their 12 year wait by clinching sliver too, courtesy of their very own World no.2 shuttler Lee Chong Wei in Badminton's men singles. But the difference is, while Lee Chong Wei is a locally-born Malaysian who grew up in Perak, the members of our sliver-winning team are China-born Singaporeans.
Well, I am glad that Singapore finally clinched a sliver in the Beijing Olympics after such 48 years of wait, but for some of my friends whom I know, they are not joyful about this national glory. The reasons are obvious.
"Not proud of it when they are foreign talents..."
"This is not a Singapore team."
etc... etc...
But shouldn't we appreciate these paddlers and other non-local born athletes for bringing glory to their adopted nation?...at least they worked and fought hard to win medals for the country, putting Singapore into the World map of sports. Furthermore think about it... How many local athletes will have such will and determination like them? How many local athletes are willing to commit themselves to train full-time and dedicated themselves to the sports whole-day long just to bring glory for Singapore? Already National Service in Singapore is getting easier year after year, yet there are still people who are complaining over silly little matters, even to the extent of calling up their mums...(Just like O.)
I am not criticising my own people for not working as hard as these foreign talents. There are do some local athletes who are training full-time and working as hard as them...just that we should really appreciate these foreign-born athletes who bring victories for the country, and not labelling them as "foreign-talents". And I can say there are foreign-born athletes who are looking more like Singaporeans, rather than nationals of where they born. Sportsman/woman such as Tao Li, who recently finished 5th in Swimming... I can tell she does more have a Singapore-speaking accent based on what I have seen on TV.
While these foreign-talents will continue to bring more glories to their adopted country in the years to come, I also hope that our local-born athletes, most notably of the national sailing team, can bring victories that can send Singapore to the world stage.
By then hopefully, those who do have a bad opinion about "Foreign-Talent Scheme", will not be saying words like, "Not proud of it".

Busy Saturday
Yesterday was such a busy day as I rotated myself around the east side of Singapore... Tampines and Pasir Ris to be exact... But nevertheless, though it looks struggling to move around throughout the whole day, and just some few hours the night before due to a manjong session, the day was fun and fulfilling.
Meanwhile, I really enjoyed the KTV and BBQ session with c5 mates... guess I will surely miss them after months of NDP training... more rounds of gatherings k ? Manjong, KTV, BBQ, chalet...etc......

Eating session...
Taking pictures with Lee Peng, Sijin, Shirui, Winnie and Sherlyn...
Our Cooking Team...
One last pic before we go...(Not in picture, Perry, Winnie & Sherlyn)
While just now, our TEAM Singapore finally ended their waiting game -- an Olympic medal at last !!! The 48 years of wait's finally over. While the Women's table tennis team was whitewashed by the dominant China Team in the final, it was a nail-bitting experience to see them play a 3 and 1/2 hour long semi final cruncher against South Korea. But in the end, we made it through and a medal at last... a sliver eventually.
Tomorrow is Monday...a brand new week especially after those celebrations'mood. I shall work much harder for my studies, the remaining NS months and of course, the upcoming Chapter Friendship Meeting...
More victories and good good fortune in the future... :D

NDP 2008
At the holding area before we go...
What is David doing ?At the same time when our national swimmer Tao Li broke the Asian Record in the 100m Butterfly heats in the Olympics (Though that record was broken again in the next heats, Tao broke it again and thus into the final, the first Singaporean to do soo !!!),
What a performance for NDP 2008 !
And I truly enjoy those times with c5 Peeps... Keep in contact ok ?

Olympics and NDP...
080808... Opening of the Beijing Olympics Games
To be true, I will be ultimately and extremely disappointed if my beloved country, Singapore, fails to bring back a medal home this time around. Perhaps most of the Singaporeans are like me, have seen enough of the nation's underachievements at this once-every-4-year Worldwide sports event. (Just like how I have seen enough of the failures of one particular aspect of my life...)
48 years of hurt is enough... We have made tremendous breakthrough in SEA Games, Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games in recent years, why not the Olympics? Meanwhile this current contingent of TEAM Singapore is perhaps the best in years, with table tennis having the best chances (So what if the Women's team faces tricky opponents in the group stage?), as well as perhaps, badminton, sailing and even shooting... I sincerely hope that TEAM Singapore can finally end those years of hurt, and I really wanna see the word S-I-N-G-A-P-O-R-E finally appears on the Medal Tally Table at the end of the games. SHINE FOR SINGAPORE!
090808...National Day Parade
After 4 months of burning Saturdays (Do I see those days burning? Nope...I really enjoy them!), Wednesday or Thursday, the actual day is here. Well, the devilish function of sanshoshima(3 Obstacles & 4 Devils) may have led me to some stage of emoness, tiredness, disappointments... this time around I must not led myself back to pessimism again. Alright these days, I may have seen myself being less happier than before, but this must come to an end !!! I just wanna truly enjoy the day tomorrow and after tomorrow, prepare myself for post-NDP commitments and future plans.
Let's rebuild my confidence from now on... enough of my emoness. No one will like a person who is OVER emo. Meanwhile, I really enjoy those trainings for the past 4 months, making more new friends and building stronger bonds with the older ones(All those makan sessions with ITAC peeps...etc), while I made a breakthrough in inviting my friend, Perry, in joining NDP. In future, I shall invite more friends in joining this annual event...
Just like TEAM Singapore, Group c5 and the rest of SSA participants shall SHINE for Singapore tomorrow too!

背影
Still Emoing... I am just being helpless... being ignorant...fullstop
三公分阳光 三公分空气
堵在眼前像一面玻璃
挡住了你表情 剩下只有脚印
he……
一直向前走 走不完距离
一直向后退不出回忆
很高兴有心事帮我困住自己
你头发上淡淡青草香气
变成了风才能和我相遇
你的目光蒸发成云
再下成雨我才能够靠近
感谢我不可以住进你的眼睛
所以才能拥抱你的背影
有再多的遗憾用来牢牢记住
不完美的所有美丽
感谢我不可以拥抱你的背影
所以才能变成你的背影
躲在安静角落不用你回头看
不用珍惜
我怀里所有温暖的空气
变成风也不敢和你相遇
我的心事蒸发成云
再下成雨却舍不得淋湿你
躲在安静角落如果你回头看
不用在意
三公分阳光 三公分空气
堵在眼前像一面玻璃
挡住了你表情 剩下只有脚印
he……
一直向前走 走不完距离
一直向后退不出回忆
很高兴有心事帮我困住自己
你头发上淡淡青草香气
变成了风才能和我相遇
你的目光蒸发成云
再下成雨我才能够靠近
感谢我不可以住进你的眼睛
所以才能拥抱你的背影
有再多的遗憾用来牢牢记住
不完美的所有美丽
感谢我不可以拥抱你的背影
所以才能变成你的背影
躲在安静角落不用你回头看
不用珍惜
我怀里所有温暖的空气
变成风也不敢和你相遇
我的心事蒸发成云
再下成雨却舍不得淋湿你
躲在安静角落如果你回头看
不用在意

爱不在 (By Melody)
When Love is (always) not around... Though I may look fine, but sometimes I am just getting tired.
一个人偶尔感到寂寞再所难免...
坐在这角落 心里很多话想说
我和你的错 就是舍不得放手
深爱你的我 早就应该让你自由
知道我以后 需要一直往前走
也许是越在乎 越会彼此的伤害
这样的爱情 又算是什么
爱不在 应该让自己从回忆中离开
爱不在 我们都已不存在彼此未来
有时候 对爱有太深太多依赖
好像你失去在这世界 还能够
孤单的自由
是曾经有的梦 现在只剩一场空
心里好多疑问 你忘了你的承诺
笑我自己没有用 眼泪无言的流下来
知道还是要面对 这段感情的伤痛
是因为越在乎 给彼此伤害更多
有了距离以后 看到不同的你和我
爱不在 慢慢让自己从回忆中离开
爱不在 我们都已不存在彼此未来
有时候 对你还是会有关怀
可是心里已经太明白 不是爱
不是爱
爱不在 应该让自己从回忆中离开
爱不在 我们都已不存在彼此未来
有时候 不管对爱有多少的依赖
就算再不愿意再伤心 我明白
我们只能放手

I should be happy
After getting the SGT rank and the pay rise, I should be happy... At least I have achieved yet another resolution for the year... but I am just feeling EMO... and it's not about the increasing responsibility in my NS as a Sergeant, though I will still have to work hard in the breakthrough to be like ONE.
The (Continuous) lack of lovelife, the lack of fate of finding the right person in my life... I don't know why I have been worried about my lovelife when a man should have worked hard to be a capable person and thus-love-will-come...
Perhaps I am 22 now(Soon to be 22.5 years old when NDP comes) and yet I never have a chance of having a relationship...
Perhaps I have gone through 10 years of hurt... the hurt of loving someone but not being loved the other way around... the hurt of having friendships with the particular person ruined... the hurt of not having the good fortune to find the right person while the others do...the hurt of having such a bad bad "LOVE" karma...
Perhaps the sense of loneliness at times...
I am not barking of not having a relationship and I am not being a desperado... Just that sometimes being single (for such a long period) can feel soo dreadful and the sense of emptiness at times. Once again, what I can do is to continue to work hard in my life, polish hard in my life and good fortune to come to find the right person to appear...
NDP's ending soon... and it seems that "lonely,boring" weekends will be back once it's over... I hope not. There are other things to do... such as playing football with Bendemeer lads, such as going for gakkai activities... such as putting more time on studies...such as doing some catching ups with friends... I just wanna create values in my daily life afterall...
and NOT let the sense of emptiness and my bad love history bothers me.
