| A New Song ~ Memory of my Heart"Another world, another time...
Trees wither and the world fades away.
Left with no one but you to hold by, our smiles and laughter takes our troubles away.
It felt right, with not a care in the world.
Alas, it could not be...
Yet the moments me had, and the dreams that had faded.
"I'll keep you near...
In the Memory of My Heart" "
~ Reuben's coded thoughts.

Not because I need to update you the viewer...
but because I want to remember those precious moments I had over such a long time.

| What may I or can I do?"Confronted, shocked and realization of reality.
One should feel nothing but I felt something.
I feel I enjoy I dream and wonder,
how things might have been different with this one Flower.
The very things I hoped, had come true.
The things I wanted there they were.
But alas while the flower remains near, I can never touch.
Only because it can never be mine."
~Reuben's coded thoughts~

| 21,000 views? Never noticed! "A flower drops from the orange sky.Torn and broken I restore it gently.I feed on her petals and fall into a dream,
one that is pleasant new and afresh.
One that will never come true and only stay a Dream."~Reuben's coded thoughts~
Do people still read this? 21,000+ views and I wonder why. A blog... it used to become a diary a place to write things I hope to remem ber. And more often than not I try to perfect how it should turn out. Ironically at the end of compiling all the pictures and thoughts, I realize it's too much and become too lazy to post my trademark mega long entries. Thus maybe I should start afresh. Put pictures only when I really want to. Only when they have strong meaning or are worth remembering. Or maybe if they had a secret meaning that no one but myself would understand. Ah yes ~ I think I could do this. My first ultra simple blog entry that would explain the state of things, and the memories that go along with it. A few words, a simple pi cture and perhaps an emoticon should suffice.  
Many post-its, rubik's cubes, notes of encouragement, duel pack strategies   Long haired Reuben, battered busy but STM-ingly interested.   A house. Our home. Time slows down when things work too fast. .......... Ended up putting more photos than I intended to post. I had the impression that just ONE single photo per post would suffice. I'll strive to update more, and post less pictures next time. Meanwhile in other things that are worth noting.. Squatters will be built at Serangoon Gardens! What the I attended Formula 1 and caught on with the know-hows! Played the Piano for Brandon's wedding! Met AMKMC old people! General Relativity is horrible! Army deferment for next Feb's 17 day in camp training REJECTED twice, even though I'm a full time student! ~End~

| A day of fun and laughter "I listen to the stories that spanned 13 years of difference,and for each person that narrates a new world emerges.As if by magic, I've traveled with them and back...to the many places and experiences that each of them shared.Almost like a journey long and tedious,I return to the reality of this mundane four walled room."~Reuben's thoughts~
It was awesome just to meet up with the old AMKMC people. It's just so amazing seeing how each one of the friends we know grown... The strange thing is that after 13 years everyone still looks the same. Young, recognizable and retaining each of their special character traits. While some of them may have a different hairstyle, longer or shorter hair... As we spoke and shared everything else is pretty much, well the same! The interesting thing though is how each of us has gone through different experiences. Joshua went through his NSF like as a medic, and that motivated him to do Life Sciences. Josiah took a module in Business IT about law, and went on to pursue Law ever since. Dorcas enjoyed her coffee girl days became a teacher and dreads marking her student's English work. Lydia studied in Perth, works in a huge c hurch and absolutely enjoys her life there. Jocelyn got a job with a production firm and makes m usic videos and video ads in the region. And the story ends with the closure of Swensens in Plaza Singapura. At 11pm, we "adjourned."Other than live stories memor ies flocked and returned. They even reminded me of Oswald bringing a mattress to the P6 Church Camp, and even reminded me calling Jeremiah " Mucus Boy." Even Joshua remembered our " secret sharing sessions," and Jocelyn and Dorcas would remember the secret crushe s of their friends. Basically the times may change and the seasons may pass,but the memories we hold dear can never fade away that easily.
Every year I would join the World Cyber Games Singapore Qualifiers. The only time I was ever serious in my e-sports was back in 2005. It was that era where Counterstrike: Source was chosen over Counterstrike 1.6, but since then it had reverted back to CS1.6. So since I've never installed 1.6 since 2005, every year I would join WCG for one purpose alone. To get my WCG Shirt and Player Tag.  Even my team name was "Playing for Free Shirts"Well this year's shirt was different. In previous years the shirts were black, cotton and at one point had horrible design. This time round, it was either the designer was a Chelsea fan or he just liked blue collars. All in all it was a dry fit shirt that was white and simple - definitely a fresh new look. So that's my 2008 WCG Shirt and Tag! Guess now I have every year's shirts except for 2007 and for good reason... the shirt looked so bad I gave it away. Other than playing we had the chance to watch a stage match. And for the first time in a long time, they had GOOD commentators! I had that gotfrag feeling the moment they spoke... They reported very accurately and kept everyone on the edge of their seats. It was really a different and good take on the event. Really hope they would keep having commentators in the future years.  CS1.6 Team WWF "Walking without Fear" up against...  CS1.6 Team "BallisticX," the result? A whooping 16-0 to WWF. The main stage with the commentators in the centre.Cybergaming in Singapore has a long way to go. And my team XTC still has a longer way to go in terms of standards. While many of us love the competitive nature of the game, few are willing to go the extra mile to promote Esports in Singapore. What the future holds is certainly uncertain, yet what it holds depends on the choices and effort we make. While no one will have the power to do everything,Everyone of us has the power to do something.
