had been sick fer practically a week or so. fever on and off, throat pain every now and then. and the worst is tat my gastric is coming back again. which i tink is greatly due to my irregular hours meal consumption habit. cant help it actually, im studying in KFC but i cant eat the food down there cos im sick! so there, i had to wait until i finished my studying before i go home to eat my dinner. currently my voice sounds like some idiot and i feel like a dying pig seriously.
:(
my gastric worked up during my first lesson. the pain was so terrible tat i felt as if im dying. throughout the lesson, my face looked pretty dead. yes, totally dead in fact. aint got any mood fer anything then. finally it ended and we moved on to the lecture. by then, the pain was killing me. messaged bro kangming and winnie and complaint. and then at last, some form of help came. my bro kangming was so kind i tell you. he actually went ahead to buy me a sandwich and passed it to me outside my lecture hall. yes bro, your kindness and care is greatly appreciated by your meimei. hahaz. and thanks to all who showed your concern towards me. am feeling beta now and hopefully the gastric wun come back again.

Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things
you want to do.

I Dream
In my mind
I can climb
All the mountains that surround me
My spirits there, where eagles dare to fly
In my heart
There s a spark
That can light the world around me
An open door, where I am sure dreams are
It doesn t matter if I win
Or the colour of my skin
Cause the race is all about
Believing in yourself
Chorus 1:
And I dream
I can run
Like the wind
And be strong
When my heart just wants to give in
I dream
I can be
The hero that's in me
When I dream, I dream
If there s a time
In your life
When the odds are so against you
There s no defeat, if all you keep is pride
First or last
Slow or fast
There s a dignity that makes you
Keep driving on, when world s have come apart
It doesn t matter rich or poor
Or the things you ve done before
Cause the race is all about
Believing in yourself
Chorus 2:
And I dream
I can run
Like the wind
And be strong
When my heart just wants to give in
I dream
I can be
The hero that s in me
When I dream, I dream
I dream
Of a moment
That forever will be golden
When the torch is passed
Only dreams will last
That are shared by everyone
And I dream
I can run
Like the wind
And be strong
When my heart just wants to give in
I dream
I can be
The hero that s in me
When I dream, I dream

am done with 3 of my common tests. now there's two more difficult papers to go. business law and quantitative analysis. they're gonna be frigging tough fer me as one means alot of memorising work and the other worst, i've not been understanding wat the heck it's about since the very first day (rebecca's been helping me on QA. thks very much woman!). sigh. and hopefully my tiny brain will allow me to squeeze watever's needed in it. am praying hard already.
anyway, new year's round the corner. hmm tat sounds like sth worth looking forward to but yet not so either. contradicting yeah. yes, i can get alot of angbaos which means i'll have a beta cashflow but then im too busy to tidy up my room or whatsoever. ok, i admit. im actually lazy to do all tat. yep.

when your smiles clear all worries of mine

let us jus be still for one minute today.
and comtemplate on the worst natural disaster in our living memory.
the Dec 26th Tsunami.
we werent taking warnings all so seriously until it was all too late
how many a times had we been told to take warnings for serious and yet we all chucked them all as rubbish saying
"it wun happen to me..." it's such a disturbing fact tat practically no one takes warning seriously. be it important or not. and the result of us not heeding warnings, the loss of more lives. yes, we lost much more tat it shld've been. if only we had heed the warnings and get ourselves prepared, things wouldnt be so bad and more lives would've been saved.
if only...
fragility of life. the ugly of mother nature.
we are so used to taking things for granted in life. so much so tat the fact tat
'life is fragile' didnt come to light until tis tsunami disaster. contrary, it takes less than an effort from mother nature's disaster to break life. jux a huge wave over you will do. and then next, you're gone. how scary.
rem how we used to worship mother nature for all tat she has done, the beautiful beaches mountains forests, the coolest nicest weather. yet now, we are all bearing grudges towards her, for bringing on the tsunami; for destroying the peace we had; for taking away thousands of innocent lives and breaking up countless families; and lastly for taking away all the happiness tat should've been.
the power of love
they say love serves as the greatest motivation of all. thus, the power of love cannot be underestimated. now tell me, wat makes you wana dive into the messy waters when you're on somewhere safe from harm? answer is, your loved ones. you dont even needa think twice about it. you jux go ahead and dive in. and your mind is simply filled with thoughts on how to save them. and nothing else. or say you were at somewhere yet near the patong beach when you saw the tidal waves crashing in from afar. one's natural reaction is to run. yes, to run away from it, as far as possible. but then wat makes you turn back after a few steps of running? answer is again, your loved ones.
for them, you can run all the way back to the beach jux to call out to them and get them out of the danger before the killer waves strike. you did all these knowing the high risk of being buried together with them under the waves. yes, love is selfless. and tis is true love.
the beauty of humanity.
they could've jux fled. yes, away from all the mess and be home safely. yet, they chose to act otherwise. they stayed on and volunteered their help, to the many victims of the tsunami.
they gave up their comfort for hope. and their time for lives. in tis one-to-one exchange, they bargained for the best outcome with watever they had. doctors sacrificing their slp and time to save more lives; volunteers abandoning their holidays and plans to go in search for more survivors of the killer waves. all these together with the risks of being washed away by the tidal waves if it decides to come back again.
everyone there acted selflessly, for the sake of everybody. "never mind if i was injured during the process, i saved one life, and tats wat matters most."
true spirit of humanity.
went newton circus with kangming, charlene, marcus, joseph, louis, kaiwei and carolyn. yummy yummy yum yum trip! :)
the outing started the wrong way cos most of them were frigging late and all. and plus the rain made the event even more sour. but then well, the mood changes pretty fast and everything was well again. kangming charlene marcus carolyn and me went ahead first to
'book tables' and then the rest joined us awhile later. anyway, the guys were all late so as punishment, they'll pay fer the food.
cheers! haha. brillant idea yeah. we ordered
chilli crabs, extra large stingyray, 'kang kong' vege, extra large plate of carrot cake and ten bbq chicken wings! woohoo! and then of course the sugar cane juice too lah! actually our plan was to spilt into two tables, but then in the end we decided to
s.q.u.e.e.z.e all of us,
EIGHT PPLE CONSISTING OF 3 GIRLS AND 5 GUYS! into one pathetic table with only 6 seats available.
omg! u can imagine tat yeah. and how the bbq seafood stall boss thought and commented on our weird decision. machiam there full house and we couldnt find another table! haha. anyhow, it was fun and all to sit together and eat. left the place arnd eight plus and went over to ang mo kio fer pool.
didnt went straight to pool centre with them cos i needa meet eugenia meimei at her void deck first to get back my cousin's video tape. met her, talk fer awhile and then joseph joined us sometime later. chatted till ten plus before we finally decided to go back to the pool centre to join the rest. played till near midnight and then we went separate ways home. kangming joseph and kaiwei sent me to bus stop and chatted awhile before they left.
reached home safely at 1230am.
;)
sometimes you just dont understand me at all

but then being the usual me, i chose not to bring out my umbrella. how clever of me.
HAHA. too bad wrong decision here woman. the rain was alright at first. but then as i was halfway thru my journey to the mrt station, it suddenly poured. bloody asshole. and the 'clever' me got caught in the rain.
:( so im kinda drenched by the rain and i took the train as if im in some kinda fridge.
-brrr

life is fragile. yes we understood tat before and even more now after the heart-wrenching tsunami incident. the heartless waves came and simply took away thousands of innocent lives.
from the waters, to the beaches, to the resorts and even as far as the villages, they showed no mercy all the way. hotels resorts heavily destroyed, villages reduced to mere ruins and affected areas were some flooded so seriously tat pple had to cling on to lamp posts or climb onto rooftops for survival. the once and maybe still popular tourist destinations were instantly downgraded to states of desolation. pple scrambled with fear and fled for their lives when the alarm sounds, devasted cries heard everywhere, thousands of bodies found here and there. some bloated and some even went beyond recognition. rescuers and medics taking every minute ever so seriously, hoping for every chance to find survivors, or at the least find the bodies of the victims. families of victims and lost persons on the islands looking uptight every moment, wasting no time in searching for their loved ones, no matter live or dead.
everybody are hanging on to the same hope, tat is, to see their loved ones again.
everything tat happens was a
tradegy. a
disaster. nobody expected all tis. and even if some were to be alert enough to expect the killer waves, not all could successfully outrun them. thousands of innocent lives taken, regardless of the different nationalities and backgrounds. but still, all was not gone, there are rays of hope. the mast searches conducted since the very first day of the tsunami have found survivors up till tis day and they include fellow singaporeans. though the chances of finding more survivors faded as days passed by, nobody there is giving up any hope. everyone is trying and giving their best and all to find more survivors, despite the existing risk of being sent into the same situation as the victims if the killer waves comes all over again.
these pple truly deserved our utmost respect.
so, tat marked the ending of our year 2004. and hopefully the new year 2005 would bring us light and the world peace tat we've always hoped for.
2004 may meant some wonderful memories for some, but then as far as we are concern, whenever we recalled tis tsunami incident, i believe, melancholy will set in for every and every one of us.

went countdown at esplanade with joseph, winnie, carolyn, zhiting, wenya, two frens of wenya and kangming and his company of 7 guys. saw steph and comapny. well, actually not much of a celebration though cos of the tsunami incident. you can feel the sadness tat filled the air. no words of expressions or more needed, everybody jux understood. a slient wish of everybody was tat the new year 2005 will be a better year and disasters be kept faraway. now, let us all pray hard for the victims of the tsunami incident and may the rescuers find more survivors and the waves stop taking innocent lives.
