  • “So many things happening around me,
    Some of them too fast and untimely for me to appreciate,
    Others leaving me tensed and anxious.
    These years had passed as I looked back,
    And my my what wonderful memories I hold in me”

    Joanne told me to go watch Kelly at Superstar.
    Cailing and Joanne told me to go next time, i couldn’t.
    Then Kelly told me she reserved 2 VIP tickets for me at the grand finals.
    And in the end, I’m not able to go…
    How come these competitions are always at such untimely instances?
    In any case, this girl…
    Once my teacher, then my friend, later my love interest,
    and finally now Singapore’s Superstar.
    Wonder how far she can far she can fly….


    The 2 superstars.

    Now I can earn part time money

     from asking Kelly to sign autographs for me to sell.

    There was a time I thought that way,
     finding an answer to the questions i posed to myself…
    “Why do I make the songs that I sing?”
    Perhaps I just wanted to be better, and maybe the best…
    Then why is it I lost my drive to sing again at showcases or recordings?
    Is it because I didnt want the attention as a singer?
    The answer is a resounding yes. And of course I dont want my privacy invaded.
    But more importantly, the songs I made are special because they are secret.
    The module I’m taking, PC 1327 says that Music is actually all about performing.
    That the listener is the person who is the objective.
    Thankfully, for me I am the one enjoying the song when I sing or play,
    because each time I sang, I see this beautiful movie of my life experience in my mind.
    And something as beautiful as that, should never lose its meaning

    But
    recently I’ve been singing again, sometimes I feel like I’m on the
    stage, but I’m merely in the KTV room with friends of my dear. But
    gradually I realized what’s more important.. that is to sing to who you
    meant the song is for. Don’t think it’s the same singing a song for my
    dear, and singing it again at KTV. But not singing consistently has
    left me rusty… I can hear the
    mistakes I used to always make. My vocal control has weakened…I think
    the passion to sing will burn once more, but maybe it’ll be for a
    different reason…And that is to simply, be better than I can ever
    be… to reach my limit and to make the songs I once made.. Perfect.
    Darn I’ve gotta get my guitar to my room in PGP asap… I think I feel
    alot of lost songs coming back to me! Going to make the effort to
    remake my songs for the sake of myself and to those I promised!


    YEAR II SEMESTER I : The Beginning of a new Era

    The National University of Singapore.
    The place where scholars abound where studious students are at,
    and in this BIG BIG collection of geniuses,
    There lies one guy that defies all odds…
    Spending his time watching Initial D, organising his clan and trying to catch up with work.
    Damn la. Being a Year II Student is no joke.
    Especially when I’m introduced to the world of Quantum leaps and probabilities,
    in a world where the subject i once hated, Chemistry, is related to Biophysics,
    In a world where you spend 2 weeks on ONE Lab experiment,
    And that’s exactly where you realize that all the apparatus is faulty.
    You survived the first year of Physics Reuben, now try to survive again.


    The pains of using a small Circuit connector board

    The Gang: Wei Keong, Frankie, Zhihao, Mark..
    Junyi and Andrielle was doing the Mechanics expt.

    Doesnt really help when our lecturers zooooooooom.
    Mathematical Methods became Quantumly Fuzzy when he starts to speed.
    Kinda liked his step by step introduction into equationas..
    but he has a bad habit of zoooming 1 whole lecture into 10 mins.
    Told my senior Dr. Li Baowen’s my lectuere.
    The honour’s student replied, ” Good luck. Couln’t understand a thing. I flunked”
    The same guy who i regarded as a “shen” flunkced this module.
    I sense a disturbance in the force. ugh..


    My dear, the Beauty my Bunny

    It’s been how long now? Almost a year!
    And soon I’ll be initiating “Project R”
    Have loads of things that I’ve gotta settle…
    But with the load of stuff I’ve got, hope I can pull it off.
    My mum’s been telling my about getting married and stuff,
    And her mum’s been saying its great that she doesnt have to worry about my dear now.
    The talk about marriage brings nostalgia.
    Once upon a time I thought of marrying my ex gf…
    but in the end things didn’t really turn out well…
    The strange thing is this relationship feels… different.
    Different in a good way, in a way that I know what the outcome will be.
    And it shall be good. Such that there’s no need to rush anything,
    And everything shall unfold itself in due time.
    Finally i can see what God’s doing…


    a balloon for my dear.

    Lasted less than a day cause her rabbit bit it.

    and she loves to drag me to the Supermarket to shop.

    Well I’m sure the days ahead will be great.
    Wonder what I’ll be doing later.
    Wait I know the answer…
    Without my PS2, Guitar & TV in my hostel room in PGP,
    There’s only one thing I can do.
    Do my QM tutorial, MM tutorial, read the SOM book and research on RC-circuits
    Well there IS something I can look forward though.

    NUS iPLAY. My NUS Dream Team will be competiting tomorrow.
    My goal, to win the prizes, and show no mercy to the other NUS Teams.
    Speaking of which, I also wrote an article for Aspire, the E publication for NUS.
    Must remember this link for my keepsake.
    http://www.nussu.org/zine5/?a=470
    And so, I shall rest and with my Viper, Barracuda and Senheisser,
    The NUS Dream Team, [N]dT shall frag all and win all.
