"Everything that has a Beginning.. Has an End"

Dumbfounded. Shocked. Saddened.
These were the feelings I felt today because of sooo many things.
It's odd how everything came at one shot.

Firstly, I woke up in the morning to discover that I lost my precious Ring.
I clearly remember putting it in my pocket when I brushed my teeth before going to sleep.
And on the next morning, I recalled the Ring, and reached to feel for it.
It was gone
It holds much meaning to me.
It's Rinoa Heartily's Ring. I mean the FF VIII one.
I was meant to wear it until there's someone I can give it to.
Yet till now, I wonder where it had run off to.

Secondly, my Saturday Night Special had been called off!
Well kind of I guess. Had a little surprise for Nicole but oh well
Thankfully, the 2 tickets to the Matrix Revolutions was not a waste.
For I have someone great to accompany me to it.
And yes, I'll be watching it with my brudas on friday too.
Rather disappointed though, but at least there's still monday I think.

Then the Final Straw.
Nevermind if I may not be able to take the sat off
Nevermind if I may have misplaced my Ring.
Nevermind if my outing with Nic was postponed.
What's worse is that I saw my Name appear on the Batallion Routine Order.

FFI FOR MODIFIED BMT RECOURSE (261203)

I was like
or more simply... #%$%&^%^*)@^$&)????!!!!!

Wierd
My PES Status isn't finalised.
I just had a knee operation.
And they send me for a recourse?
Tomorrow they shall feel the full wrath of my prowess
My questions, logic and reasoning shall be undefeated.
Then we shall see,
If the recourse will continue as follows.

Grrrr... hear me Roar.

I thought I'd be mobilised but.. I was wrong. Ugh
In the end I spent the day studying for Japanese.
Which wasn't that bad haha
So here's another sample of "Pure Dream"
Maybe You can sing along to it ya?

So let me.. Dream this Song I sing
To smile to the Joy you bring
To Walk you until the end,
I'd do anything..

For you I'll stand by your side today
For each and every other Day..
I'll never Leave you nor Forget,
Why I feel This way

Anyway, I'll update the blog soon ya? Will be having overnight duty tmw. Ugh

Oh Gosh, I have No time to update my Blog for this weekend!
I've got mobilisation this weekend, meaning I've gotta burn my sunday in camp
Anyway here's a SAMPLE of the new song i made/composed called

"Pure Dream"

Jaslyn: How's your erm thing going?
Melvin: Hey I'll sms you soon ya?

Yesterday I was getting ready to go to Marche to have a birthday celebration with Jezlin at Hereen.. when suddenly a surge of inspiration came! It had been building up these days, perhaps of the many things that had happened just recently. None the less I took up my guitar and started singing and penning down my lyrics! I shall name it...

"Pure Dream"

And well so we had a great time of sharing and eating.
Oh i love the Rosti.. was lining up and decided to take a pic.
haha.. I just love it. Though i've been eating it everytime, it's still so nice!
Perhaps one thing about myself is,
When I find something perfect, I'll never get bored of it.

Please Pay no Attention to the text on my shirt.
I decided to wear that because it suits the Jacket!
Anyway My dearest friends would really know what kind of a person i am.
Comprehension requires no explanation.
Well here's me and Jezlin. The birthday girl!
Always there for me, and my friend for 2.5 years.
Hope you liked the Mugu Pillow me and my bruda got ya! Happy 18th Birthday!

Well that's all Folks!
I've gotta go study for my Japanese.
And to everyone who had been listening to my troubles..
Thanks for everything.
I've been feeling much better lately

Christina: So i'll call in the extras to dance and sing with us at the airport k? haha
Nicole: Remember to keep that sat free for moi k?
Karen: You're supposed to Sms me right?
Paul and Jerry: Remember our Friday thing ya? I'll try to reserve the tickets
Jaslyn: Don't feel depressed k? Study well and Ace the A levels!
Eleanor: How's our grandma doing? Must update me ya?

I must fade away.
Perhaps from then, when joy began filling my days.
I may have dreamed too hopefully
Or Maybe I was just being silly.
The Choices we make gives the path we take.
Yet my Path had been hidden, when can I wake?
To see my dream, come true for me.
Maybe somethings just ain't meant to be.

What I hoped to be changed from is to was.
May go nowhere, I may have lost.
Confused I am, yet still stubbornly sure
That my part to Play is far from Over.
Perhaps to her it means nothing much.
But a word from her, can break my heart.
Where has my will to Fight had gone?
The wait for revelation, the promise I sworn.

I will stand now not with my own Strength
But with the Strength of God, and his healing Hand
If I can't change the course i make.
God will give me a new path to take.
My perfect princess she is there for me.
One day I may get to see,
My princess waiting looking for me
She's the ring I wear, Rinoa Heartily.

I must fade away.
For now not for sure but from this day.
There are answers I seek, And prayers to make.
To recover my courage and to reforge my Blade.
I do not see this as defeat
But of enlightenment and of magnificent feat
To show to world that I shall stand.
For my princess until the Very End!

- Fade Away by Reuben Wong

I call this poem i wrote Fade away, because that's all i can think of doing now. It's so difficult to understand how some things turned out. Makes me wonder If i should have said those things I said. Would things be different had I not gone so far? Or would it be better if I'd do otherwise? I don't regret what has happened, but i just wonder if there's an answer to all this. It's tough on me, yet I like it. Because i see a ray of light in the future that holds, because of her this one girl i know. Ugh...

Thus, I shall fade away. I'll be taking more time to myself to reflect on certain things. May not come online often too... It's time I start to think things through and seek God's word in this. For only He can answer to my problems

Take care people.. God Bless all of you

"It has been a wonderful Saturday Of Fun
For a past legend had been awaken
Once broken now reforged
The Fellowship of the Triple Axis Awakens!"

It has been very rare since the 2 of my Best friends went out together
Wait that sounds gay.
What I mean is, after many series of events,
it's very difficult to hang out together in town or whatever.
We'd used to do so many crazy things!
Well yesterday was a mini celebration for my Bruda Paul.
And It was great fun! Fun with simple company, laughter and joy

Man, we were strutting down Orchard Road after Dinner at Marche's and..
We saw a promotion for the DBS Black Card.
"Apply now and stand to win a Ferrari!"
Man, I want the Ferrari more than the silly Black Card!
Most People prefer other sports cars, but This Ferrari represents my style.
It ain't too low, and it's curvy and sleek. Not too techy and simple.
Gosh, I'd pick Black or or Cobalt for my colour!
Speaking of which.. i'm gonna aim to qualify for the Ultima Card from citibank.
Only 1000 are INVITED to sign up for it!
Those who qualify must earn more than$320,000 per annum!

And soon we got to Paragorn to meet Jerry.
The pic above is the new section of it.
Didn't know it had been renovated recently or whatever..
I can't seem to keep up with the news lately.
None the less, It's got more fashion shops here!
For the rich and Classy indeed. haha

As soon when we turned to the old section..
We stumbled upon the Versace Exhibition! It's so cool!
I don't know why, but i have this thing for Jackets.
The type that ain't too long & stops at ur waist?
Maybe I'm just wierd. haha or just very Me
Anyway, I had a great time admiring every piece on display.
Wish they were like 60% cheaper
May have bought some stuff if they were. haha

So we popped by to 7-eleven cause we were meeting Jerry there.
It was the first 7-11 i know that has a waiting area.
Like a desk for you to have a quick snack or something?
So Paul and I just stood there and yacked away about CG and Movies
I was telling him about the making of the Matrix Reloaded.
hahaha, I think i got a little too over enthusiastic but it was fun
We spotted the cool new Pepsi Drink too!
Had to buy it to check it out.
It's like totally black? And it taste like a mix of 100 plus and pepsi.
The colours more red too. Wierd.. haha

And so the 3 of us decided to catch a movie at 9.50
They wanted to watch some silly action flick.
But i recommended Matchstick Men. I'd prefer Artsy deeper films anytime!
It's more Cool and fun to think about the film rather than admire and the special effects
So while waiting for the movie to start, we went over to the Lips cafe at cineleisure
That's Jerry on the left and Paul on the right. heh
Where we just chatted and had cakes, ice cream and drinks.
I would have shown the picture of the Earthquake Cake I had..
but I was emmersed in the deep taste of satifaction. haha

That's me on the left, Jerry in the centre and Paul.

And so before the movie we took a picture!
To remind ourselves that in the end no matter what our friendship will not break.
It has been great having 2 good friends for almost 9 years.
The memories we had and the experience we shared..
Are too good to be forgotten.

P.S (The guy who helped us didn't give any signal! I didn't smile properly! haha)

Hello people! My sincerest apologies for not updating for soo long. I guarantee u a proper update tmw ya? I have had many great experiences this week! Was so busy that time passes soooo quickly too. I wish I had more time tho. Have sooo many things to do. Study, Record Songs, go for auditions.. not to mention celebrating my bruda Paul's Birthday!

"In the Meantime, enjoy Eyes on Me on the piano performed by moi "

"Darling so Share with me...
Your love if you have enough.
Your Tears if you're holding back...
Or pain if that's what it is."

"Shall I be the one for you?
Who pinches you softly but sure.
If frown is shown then,
I will know that you are no dreamer."

taken from FINAL FANTASY VIII

It's been so long since i've written here.
Partly because I've been busy with work and everything. The army's been giving me alot of headaches. Made me work overtime daily and even on a sunday morning.
Thankfully, I had some time to relax by meeting up with friends and even meeting up with "Koala." hahah But she's one great girl. Sentimentally sweet and lovely.

We had a great time chatting and all.
Learnt a fair bit of things from her. But more importantly, i enjoyed her company.
"Thanks you bouncy girl!" hahaha.. I feel a need for gummy beary juice now. heh.

Finally got my new digital camera too!

"I think these shirts are cool. hahaha..."
I mean they're very funny to look at! I wonder if there'll be anyone who'd wear it around town. heh.

And here's where I had my dinner! Edo sushi! Actually, i came here because Paul dragged me. Ugh... I had sushi for lunch and now this for dinner?
Well we had a good time chatting about girl issues.
Sometimes it's sad to hear other pple distressed over girl things.
But what happens when I become the victim? Who shall be my councillor?
The answer is up there.. and the word of God.
It always perks me up and brings me hope.

"I wonder if Rinoa's reading any of this.
Well all I can do is await her return and put my trust in the Lord.
May I have a dance with you Rinoa heartily?
May I finally have that Final Fantasy?"

"May I? Should I? Would you have this Dance with me?"

I've taken this from a Comic I created not long ago. It fully depicts what I'm feeling now.. So take your time to appreciate it

"I thought I could..."

"But Before i knew it...
She struck me first.
My Blade of Zeal and Passion had thus Broke"

"I became afraid..."

"And Thus I fell. I was defeated. I had lost.
I didn't feel like waiting anymore
I didn't feel like Fighting anymore."

"Yet A new hope had risen when Someone gave me a new Blade
She taught me to be stronger and to look on the Brigther Side of things
And God spoke to me giving me new strength and hope..."

"She implanted this word to me - Yuki
And God whispered two words to me..."

"He said, "Trust Me""

And so I shall press on for the sake of Myself and for God.
Sometimes we fall whenever something bad happens.
But I think God's plan for us is always great.
The way he works is a mystery..
But we must all learn to place our complete Trust in Him.

Thanks Jaslyn, the Girl who gave me a new "Blade"
You really enlightened me with your opinion. It gave me new Hope.
Not false hope, but real hope.
 It taught me that even till the end, It's worth it.
Thus I shall fight and will not stop.
Because we never know how things may be.
Who can say? Only Time will tell.
Till then I place my trust in him, and will continue to wear The Ring.
