| How's spring over there? |
| 03.29.04 (9:14 am) [edit] |
Hey people!!!
I miss you all so so so much... Today is the start of spring quarter at UCSB yeah? Heard from Cheryl that you guys have loads of fun!!! How I wish I am back there partying with you guys.. Hee. Life's so fun then. OK, it isn't that bad here in Singapore either except for the erratic weather. But parties at States are so much more fun. My holz is coming yet I am feeling so troubled coz Singapore is too small.. there isn't much to see here. I wish I am back in States, then we can go Hawaii, or New York!! I haven't been there yet.

Jess's pastor shared it with her and she shared it with me
[i][b]"Urgent things are not important
Important things are not urgent"[/b][/i]
Took me some time to really understand its significance.
In fact I am trying to...
I guess most of the time we have the impression that if something is urgent, it is important. And everything else cease to matter. And we rush like crazy just to accomplish it. Yet when it is finally done, you dun really have any "wow" feeling that you have accomplished the so called "important" stuff. Only at the finishing end, do we realise that isn't that important afterall.Yet precious time is wasted.
If something is really that important, then it will remain important. Why rush? Why not savour every moment of getting close to it?
Jess taught me something today: Good things r meant to be waited upon. And I am going to savour every moment of getting close to it. It's the journey and not the destination that matters.

Feelings and emotions will dominate today as never before. You may be surprised at the depth of feeling you have for the little things in life, but this only indicates the strength of your character.

| Can it be unrequited love? |
| 03.28.04 (8:40 am) [edit] |
Fate has a funny way of putting people together and then pulling them apart for a reason that may remain unknown till the end of time.
I used to ask myself why ain't my love story like the ones I read in fairytales where the prince and princess live happily ever after?
Then someone reminded me that I ain't living in a fairytale. This is the [i]real[/i] world and things in the [i]real[/i] world ain't a bed of roses. I took it with a pinch of salt and waited patiently for the special someone to come by.
That special someone came by and lifted me up so high into cloud 9, making everything seems so right. I fell in love so fast and so deep only to realise that no one may be there to catch me when I fall.
Sad I may be... but something tells me that it is worth the fall. I am willing to wait. I know you need time. But pls give me a sign... however subtle it may be, but at least a sign to let me know that I am not falling for nothing.

| Who are you to judge wat only time can tell? |

I'm exceptionally artistic!
Find your soul type at kelly.moranweb.com.
Fair enough. Perhaps they haven't. But now that you know, you must become one with your inner self.
[b]
Virtues:[/b] You look for immense creativity and individuality in people, including yourself. You're not happy with anything less than brilliant, and you focus on being expressive. You value energy, liveliness, and upbeat personalities, but you're not supportive of moodiness when you yourself can be unreliably moody. Seeking activity, you like the bustle of business but need the secluded atmosphere of a studio or private corner.
[b]
Aspirations:[/b] You feel the need to express your talents, whether it be through writing, drawing, singing, dancing, composing, performing, or photographing. While you strive to ever improve your work, you want to display it as soon as possible when your impatience kicks in. You want to be a prodigy but you might not have the means right at your fingertips. Trust me, do NOT move to New York to do it. Yeesh!
[b]
Quirks:[/b] Conformists bother you because of their lack of individuality. You're often late or unreliable. You're showy and refuse to share the spotlight. You only tell little white lies. You worm your way into the hearts of others, but be careful; some people despise the show-offs.
[b]Factors:[/b] Surround yourself with activity and you'll always have material to work with. Involve friends and family in your projects so they don't feel like envious outsiders.
[b]Future:[/b] Show business or not, you'll settle down happily if you're among those who appreciate your natural talents and desire to perform. Don't stay in one place too long, and don't be too hasty in defining your relationships. Who are you to judge what only time will tell?

[b]Me: [/b]boring
[b]Quirkii: [/b]huh
[b]Quirkii: [/b]life can't be exciting everyday ok
I BEG TO DIFFER... :wink:
Many of my friends have questioned me on my msn nick "Life is too exciting to be bored" Usual qns: "You sure a not?" "What exciting things have u been doing dude?" or "I wish I am living your life then..." And my usual reply: "You bet!"
Indeed, life is too exciting to get bored. You dun have to the President of the United States to have an exciting life. You don't have to be a superstar to live an exciting life. You can be Tom, Dick or Harry AND still have an exciting life.
Personally, I think my life is exciting coz
1. I dun know what it will unleashes onto me the next minute, the next hour, the next day, the next month, the next yr ... you get what I mean.
2. I choose to believe that I am made to do great things and each day, I am closer to being so.
3. I enjoy the simple things in life: satisfaction from watching cartoons on Sunday mornings, bliss from having morning breakfasts with my family, fun from hanging out with frens, amazed by how songs can touch my heart, touched by the comfort of my pillow and bed, intrigued by the serendity of the night, memerised by the beauty of the stars, fascinated by the love stories in the movies.
4. I live in other people's happiness. To bank all your happiness from your own is a limitation. But when you build your happiness on others', you multipled your happiness thousand folds.
5. Last but not least, there is simply NOTHING to lose from this life!
I guess I proven my point, Stella. :wink:

Totally captivating...
[b]A very touching story...[/b]
[i]A Forever Kind of Love By Christy M. Martin[/i]
One of our favorite patients had been in and out of our small, rural hospital several times, and all of us on med-surg had grown quite attached to her and her husband.
In spite of terminal cancer and resulting pain, she never failed to give us a smile or a hug. Whenever her husband came to visit, she glowed. He was a nice man, very polite and as friendly as his wife. I had grown
quite attached to them and was always glad to care for her.
I admired their _expression of love. Daily, he brought her fresh flowers and a smile, then sat by her bed as they held hands and talked quietly. When the pain was too much and she cried or became confused, he hugged her gently in his arms and whispered until she rested. He spent every available moment at her bedside, giving her small sips of water and stroking her brow. Every night, before he left for home, he closed the
door so they could spend time alone together. When he was gone, we'd find her sleeping peacefully with a smile on her lips.
On this night, however, things were different. As soon as I entered report, the day nurses informed us she had steadily taken a turn for the worse and wouldn't make it through the night. Although I was sad, I knew
that this was for the best. At least my friend wouldn't be in pain anylonger.
I left report and checked on her first. When I entered the room, she aroused and smiled weakly, but her breathing was labored and I could tell it wouldn't be long. Her husband sat beside her, smiling, too, and said,
"My Love is finally going to get her reward."
Tears came to my eyes, so I asked if they needed anything and left quickly. I offered care and comfort throughout the evening, and at about midnight she passed away with her husband still holding her hand. I
consoled him and with tears running down his cheeks he said, "May I please be alone with her for awhile?" I hugged him and closed the door behind me.
I stood outside the room, blotting my tears and missing my friend and her smile. And I could feel the pain of her husband in my own heart. Suddenly from the room came the most beautiful male voice I have ever heard
singing. It was almost haunting the way it floated through the halls. All of the other nurses stepped out into the hallways to listen as he sang "Beautiful Brown Eyes" at the top of his lungs.
When the tune faded, the door opened and he called to me. He looked me in the eyes then hugged me saying, "I sang that song to her every night from
the first day we met. Normally I close the door and keep my voice down so as not to disturb the other patients. But I had to make sure she heard me tonight as she was on her way to heaven. She had to know that she will
always be my forever love. Please apologize to anyone I bothered. I just don't know how I will make it without her, but I will continue to sing to her every night. Do you think she will hear me?"
I nodded my head "yes," unable to stop my tears. He hugged me again, kissed my cheek, and thanked me for being their nurse and friend. He thanked the other nurses, then turned and walked down the hall, his
back hunched, whistling the song softly as he went.
As I watched him leave I prayed that I, too, would someday know that kind of forever love.
*Beautiful*

| 03.24.04 (4:52 am) [edit] |
I had a horrible day. I left my laptop together with all my accessories and CISCO Wireless Network card in Bus 198 and apparently, I never see it again. I panic. I rush like crazy to Boon Lay Terminal hoping that some kind soul will drop the bag off. I daren't even call my dad or mum to ask for help. They would have kill me for sure. I think I had enough for the day. Dun deserve another scolding... :cry:
When I got to the bus terminal, the lady told me non- chalantly that no one drop off anything in the control. My heart sank. That's it. No hope. I nearly cried. I lingered for a while at the station, hoping that someone may come by and hand me the laptop. Give me back my bag at least. My fave S.E.N.S CD was inside...
I haven't felt so lost for a long long time. I really din know what to do. I guess it was all shown on my face. A kind soul actually walked to me and ask me if she can help. Why can't there by more kind souls like her around?
My buddy knew abt it as I was suppose to meet her to do my 06 project. Later some of my frens called and Luyee even offered to lend me her spare lappie. Stella actually called OSA and a few police stations to check on any lost laptop bag. KC wanted to rush down to BL Terminal to check for me. And my lil sis was so nice to lend me her desktop to do my project. I was realli realli touched. Thanks guys!
Before I wallow in more sorrow, I got this sms:
"Get upset...But after you upset, must get up and start doing your projects and everything again... Ok?"
Thank you for your sms. It means a lot to me.
Good or bad, I really don't know. But one thing for sure, I am blessed with great frens!

| When will 3rd April come? |
| 03.23.04 (9:45 am) [edit] |
This is gonna bore all of u but I need to vent...
I can't wait for 3rd April to come .... seriously . These few days I have been feeling pretty stressed up and all ruffled up by the projects that are going to be due real soon. Things keep changing. Appointments keep shifting and sometimes I am just not in the mood to study or do anything. Simply distracted and totally lost focus. Exams are around the corner and I haven't really revised. Great. :shock:
Started out with 5 projects: Database SQL & Website, Islam field trip reports, Islam 20pg research paper, Operating Systems Coding Assignment, IS Term Paper.
Cleared 2 (Database, field trip report), still got 3 more!!! Trying to pia all 3 simultaneously and hopefully by 2nd Apr, I will be done. I need a break. A getaway. Somewhere far enough for me to escape from work and enjoy my time with a special someone.
When will 3rd April come? *faintz*

| 03.22.04 (8:06 am) [edit] |
It's been a long and winding journey
But I'm finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces and walking
Back into the light
Into the sunset of the glory
Where my heart and future lies
There's nothing like that feeling
When I look into Your eyes
My dreams came true
When I found you,
I found You, my miracle
[b]If u could see what I see
That you're the answer to my prayers
If you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know it would be clear
that angels brought me here[/b]
[b]Standing here before you
Feels like I've been born again
Every breath is your love
Every heart beat speaks you're name[/b]
My dreams came true
Right here in front of You
My miracle
If u could see what I see
That you're the answer to my prayers
If you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know it would be clear
that angels brought me here
Brought me here to be with You
I'll be forever grateful
Forever faithful
My dreams came true
When I found You
My miracle
If u could see wat I see
You're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know, it would be clear
That angels brought me here

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
For the morning sun in all it’s glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
And somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine
And it’s yours and it’s mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine
And it’s yours and it’s mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one
And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you

Ease my troubles that’s what you do

| "Do I know you?" |
| 03.19.04 (2:29 am) [edit] |
Great. When your tutor asks you this question in the middle of the semester, something is veri wrong. I accompanied Ahmed to his consulation class for 2106 (Operating Systems) without knowing that his tutor, Calvin is also my tutor!!! Then when I walked him, he asked "Do I know you?"
I gave him my name and then he returned me the "should-have-known-it-is- you" face. Calvin curiously asked about my disappearance from his class and I told him as a matter of fact that I have been oversleeping thru his class. 9am in the morning - Monday somemore. Sigh.
Eve of exams is always a horror for me. I realise that there is sooo much to study. Looking at the past yr questions onli make it even more demoralising. Why am I complaining anyway? I should have known it right from the start. Darn! :(

| Good or Bad hard to say? |
| 03.18.04 (4:38 am) [edit] |
Once upon a time, there was a king. The king liked one of his followers very much because he was very wise and always gave very useful advice. Therefore the king took him along wherever he went. One day, the king was bitten by a dog, the finger was injured and the
wound was getting worse. He asked the follower if that was a bad sign. The follower said, Good or bad, hard to say'. In the end, the finger of the king was too bad that had to be cut.
The king asked the follower again if that was a bad sign. Again, the follower gave the same answer, 'Good or bad, hard to say'. The king became very angry and sent the follower to prison.
One day, the king went hunting in the jungle. He got excited when he was on the chase of a deer. Deeper and deeper he went inside the jungle.In the end he found himself lost in the jungle. To make thing worse, he
got captured by the native people lived inside the jungle.
They wanted to sacrifice him to their god. But when they noticed that the king had one finger short, they released him immediately as he was not a perfect man anymore and not suitable for sacrifice. The king managed to get back to his palace after all. And he finally understood
the follower's wise quote, 'Good or bad, hard to say'. If he hadn't lost one finger,he could have been killed by the native people.
He ordered to release the follower, and apologized to him.But to the king amaze, the follower was not mad at him at all. Instead, the follower said, 'It wasn't a bad thing that you locked me up.'
Why? Because if the king hadn't locked the follower up, he would have brought the follower along to the jungle. If the native found that the king was not suitable, they would have used the follower. Again, the
quote 'Good or bad, hard to say' stands.
The moral of the story:
Everything that happens in this world, there is no absolute good or bad. Sometimes good things turned out to be bad things eventually, while bad things become a gain.
Whatever good things that happen to you, enjoy it, but don't have to hold too tight to it, treat it as a surprise in your life. Whatever bad things that happen to you, don't have to feel too sad or despair, in the end, it might not be a total bad thing after all.
If one can understand this, he or she will find life much easier.

| My choice - Fall in love! |
| 03.16.04 (7:31 am) [edit] |
[i]"When infatuation ends, it's your choice to choose to fall in love, or out of love."[/i]
Got this from someone... How true.
I guess there comes a point of time when I ask myself whether I am destined to love someone and be loved in return. Often, sweet times doesn't last, or at least that's what I used to think. Some people call that the honeymoon period which probably last for a month or two mabbe. Then after that, things just don't seem as pretty as before. You dun feel your heart missing a beat anyone. You don't feel any butterflies in your stomach... I start to panic and convince myself that it was all just infatuation.
Yet I did not know that infatuation is all part of the love package. I din know that this is where love begins and infatuation ends. I was given a once in a lifetime opportunity to choose to fall in love yet I choose otherwise. There I am, back in the road again...
But now, new hope awaits. This time, I chose to fall in love...

| I can't wait... |
| 03.12.04 (7:39 am) [edit] |
Oh man, I can't wait for 13 Mar to be over! Excitement, nervousness, empathy, exhaustion, relief... Mixed feelings basically. Feb/Mar has been really hectic for me and my SCC mates. When I was describing my experience to the student helpers today, I used three words to wrap up:"ROLLER COASTER RIDE" Spot on!
Progress has been very steady for Open House. This yr, our approach was simple yet professional. Really proud of the team. Can still remember that most of the team were only student helpers during last yr's Open House. That time I was only the Supervising Director. Now they are doing such a great job. Really hope tomorrow will run veri smoothly. =)
As for myself, I have sorta of straighten things out. Even if I dun get into NOC, I will not despair. I will move on and continue to seek doors of opportunities. I just found out that NUS Dive Club offer very cheap scuba diving courses and getaways. $320 for everything!! So much cheaper. And I get to bring two non-NUS students along with the same bargain. Probably I can go scuba earlier...
Alrightey, gotta hit the sack. Have fun guys!

| Have you notice how blue the sky is? |
| 03.11.04 (7:28 am) [edit] |
Din realise it until I looked up the sky this afternoon. So blue. Not a single cloud to be seen. I miss the sky so much... its omnipresence, its vastness, its simplicity. The sky knows it all. At one end, she sees people in poverty. Yet from another, she sees people splurging their weath. While over our side of the world, people are living very normal lives, the other side wreak havoc and chaos. How
ironic.
Feeling very listless these days. I withdrew from the internship in Ministry of Home Affairs as it clashed with a production in NU(studios) I promised KC first that I will keep my June free to act. So I have to abide to it. Feeling a bit sad coz it was a great opportunity but there are times where you got to learn to let go. Now is probably the time.
And.. my good buddies like Jiahui have been selected to go for NOC (NUS Overseas College). I applied with Jia, hoping that we can go to Bio Valley together. I am really happy for her. But I feel a bit disappointed with myself. My application is still pending. The committee wants to send me but my s/u has capped and it is against the school's policy to send students with s/u capped to go. They are willing to fight for me..but will I get to go ultimately? I really don't know.
[u]Email from Meng Li (Manager for NOC):[/u]
[i]Hi Eric,
Base on my understanding, you should have been selected and an email will be sending out to you soon. Please be patience and wait for our response.
Is ok for you to write to me, and I am glad to be able of assistance. Do not be too worry about any other thing. You take care and I see you in the presentation.
Cheers,
Meng Li[/i]

| Where am I heading? |
| 03.10.04 (8:30 am) [edit] |
Hectic day. I was so dazed in the morning when I stumbled into the OS Lab. Jia and DT were already in the lab coding. Thanks to the gals, we managed to complete ex1 and even got EXCELLENT for that ex. Now left with ex2 to debug - duh! Not forgetting Database Project due on Mon, 3251 due the following week. My Islam thesis ... Ok, screw the work!
And I recieve one shocking news today which got me thinking. "Where am I heading?" KC was hospitalised becoz of appendix inflammation. Shocking becoz I never expect a fren whom I just saw a day ago lying on the hospital bed, with a drip, totally weakened by all the medicine. I nearly broke into tears...
We started chatting and I suddenly realise that life is very very short. Most of the time, we are so preoccupied with pursuing our dreams and our careers. We just keep pushing forward, neglecting the more valuable things in life like your true friends, your family, the real reason for being alive in this world. Only when something drastic like getting hospitalised happens, we will then be jolted out of the rat race and awoken from your senseless pursuit. But to many, the realisation may be too late.
Nevertheless, today was a day of revelation. I realise that I am no different from the rest. I have been in the race for a long long time. It is time I start rethinking the value and make sure I dun forsake my frens and family.
Meanwhile... I planning for a retreat - a scuba diving retreat with a friend. Can't wait!
