  • Yay Yay! Went to ACS barker yesterday evening. The Place looked soooo cool. It was just so awwsome to be there. The best thing is, it brought back so many fond memories. Me, Paul and Jerry were just chatting about the past, how we'd play around or whatever! Pity though. What you're seeing is the Shaw Pool. Used to be at the top of ACS barker.. but now it's near the Multi Story Car-Park. we're actually in a restaurant now. Having Thai dinner too! hahaha...



    And here's something else! The front view of the clock tower. In the past, we use to hang our around here while waiting for our buses or parents. Now it has become so cool. I just can't believe it. We've only explored the outer parts of the school though. Next week we're sure to come by again! Right? Hmmm Jaslyn u wanna come along? hahaha.


    And So another episode of "Reuben's Story" Had ended
    To Mark the end of a wonderful day,
    I received a phone call from someone very far away.
    It was by far...
    One of the nicest moments of my life.
    Thanks for the phone call yeah?
    I really felt invigorated and pleased to hear from you.
    Good night to me,
    Good Morning Rinoa Heartily.

  • "Who is this Whacko? What is he trying to do?"


    There is an absolutely reasonable explanation for this.
    This morning at Sentosa.. my unit had an anniversary function.
    My friend was taking a picture of me until...
    I saw an Iguana on my right.
    And with great speed and agility..
    I faced my opponent in an offensive stance.


    Now the Question is... Did i do this on purpose?



    "Before the Iguana came along Reuben was looking out to sea"


    It was a great saturday!
    For the first time,
     i think i would have enjoyed the activities they planned for us... but as I was instructed not to take part in games
    I had to avoid getting myself thrown around, running or having fun.
    None the less
    I wandered off to a corner, to admire the sea breeze
    Which explains why my hair was zoomed back like elvis.
    So you see sometimes finding serenity beats having fun



    "First he looked up, then he looked up, so I looked up"


    I like this picture. It looks cool. Everyone's looking up, when... there's absolutely nothing interesting in the sky. Ugh, well that's how my day was this morning. It's been great tho. Many pple chatted with moi, seeing old friends.. I feel soooo beachy to come next week. hehe...Maybe i'll drag me friends along too.


    Hmmm, Just now I met Jaslyn! hahaha she looked so cute.
    In fact, we were just wondering why we look so familiar i think. Anyway, your name has been cleared. hahaha.. such a pleasant surprise to catch her in orchard. We were actually on our way to ACS barker's Thai restaurant set up by Old boys. Gosh the Crab Tang Hoon noodles are SUPERB! Go try guys! and the school brought back sooo many fond memories. Have the pictures taken! But... My camera ran out of batt. Charging it now.. haha..


    "And so i shall return to my Bed
    To cure my aches and weary body
    A webcam i have bought from Challenger today
    that shall be used and tested tmw
    Another day has ended just like that
    Only to bring another new day at another time."


    Due to Popular demand, i shall keep Blue Fields as my song until i can upload "The Successor - Final Fantasy VIII performed by Reuben Wong"

  • "I walked slowly but intently to the gates..
    Shadowed with doubt, and unwiliingness.
    There my blade shimmered
    Ready for whatever challenges that shall newly arise.
    Yet just ready to defend myself from the forces of Darkness."


    "I passed it and went forth with Valour and Despair.
    There I heard people's voices, with a warmness and soft tone..
    "Welcome Back Reuben! How are u Doing Reuben? Fine Reuben?"
    So Many Voices
    Yet the combined sound they made, made me feel glad."


    "In the deepths of this place
    Challenges & Battles fought against me.
    Tough, saddenning and perhaps Despairing...
    Then I switched on my Handphone to connect to ICQ"


    "and"


    "I smiled and smiled and smiled till the day ended "


    Going to sentosa tmw for my Unit's Anniversary thingie. Hmmm, too bad i can't go play beach volleyball or whatever because of my knee. Oh well, but i'm going to the Restaurant at ACS barker tmw with Paul and Jerry! Anyone wants to come and join moi? hahaha Think i shall go bring me digi cam too... and wait till pay day to BUY a new digi cam. Think i shall go BUY a webcam tmw too, after seeing Yolanda's one. Hmmm me bad. Like to BUY. Mwahahah

    My dear "Rinoa Heartily" 


    Haha I'm sure you know who you are!
    It's finally that time of the year again,
    where you have grown one year older.
    I'd make it more special for you if I could,
    but you're so far away.
    This would be the least I could do for you.
    Thus I'll dedicate this blog today solely to you


    It's been such an honour to know you.
    All this could not have happened if it were not a miracle.
    None the less, God gave me an Angel that I shall never let go.
    It's been only a few days, yet it seems like weeks.
    And throughout this time
    All i ever wanted was to know,
    was to know that you're smiling and having it good.
    Know that I shall give you my support in your times of need
    And I will be praying for you.
    There is no promise I can make that can prove itself...
    Thus let Time show you,
    That I shall always be there for you.


    And so for now all i can offer you is this blog
    That shall reveal your birthday presents!
    I've already given one present which is the Song I made
    Hope it'll stay in your heart wherever you go,
    And may it be a reminder that there's someone called Reuben.
    Remember i said your other present was related to the "Star"?
    Here it is, It's quite simple but It holds dear meaning and intention.
    I will be waiting for you to collect them ya?



    This is a Pendant.
    Just like a star It symbolises the Light...
    And how you illuminate so much pureness and enchantment to me.
    It doesn't cost much
    But I hope you'll like it



    And Here's the other Gift!
    A Compiled CD of my Piano pieces and more importantly
    The Song "Kuresuteina no temu"
    As for the "Live Version".. When you get back I'll sing for you


    I hope that this 18th Birthday shall be of special rememberance
    May all your wishes come true and may God Bless you abundantly
    I'm sure that as you grow
    Better things shall come your way.
    Because whatever you had lost,
    God shall return 7 times greater! Amen?


    Here's a Piano piece I played for you to sing along to.
    Do wait for the music to load ya?
    Enjoy the music...


    Kuresuteina no Temu (Birthday Piano Edition)


    "A Part of you just strikes me,
    Like I've never felt before.
    It makes me feel so rich & selfless
    When I see you more...


    Do you know?
    I unknowingly Miss you.
    How I pray,
    That God Will Guide your Way..


    Trust me I am here for you
    When you ever need me to.
    I'll pray for you all of my days,
    Even if you'd walk away.
    You're more than just a girl to me,
    You're a star that shines so Bright and Free
    I promise I will not forget,
    This Angel Sent To Me."

  • Hello Hello! 4 days left before my beloved MC's gone. And looking forward to tomorrow too for various reasons. Just upgraded my Xanga to premium. Kinda like it i guess... $2.00 US a month doesn't sound that bad anyway. hahaha


    I've gotta get 2 things. A webcam and a new digital camera. The one i have now's a Fuji. The older models i guess. It's got such a slow shutter speed... Been eyeing the Optio



    Wow. It looks nice here.. Think it's a good buy. $699. And with it, it'll fit snuggly into me pocket, reading for photo shooting anytime anywhere! Where's pentax... they should get me as they're endorser.


    Well, gotta go do some house work now. My mum's been saying I don't help out around the house. What rubbish! If she's known the great things I had done she'd say different.


     Anyway, i added a new module column on the bottom left hand side. Had to learn HTML definations because of that side module. Quite interesting tho.. all the funny symbols and meanings in html. Anyway, the modeule has data about me.. and about my daily songs too. Study it well think each module's 5 points. Accumulate them to get your basic degree in "Reubenology" - A recognised degree worldwide. Just say you're a "Reubenster Scholar" and pple will marvel in awe. hehe.. enjoy

  • SORRY! SUMIMASEN!



    Gosh, it's been a pretty long time since i've updated my blog. And Most pple would think it's because of Friendster. Well actually it's not entirely it.


    I've been given A lot of Work to do while at home. Primarily typing. Back in camp, they've been preparing for an Inspection, and it's up to moi, Administrator Reuben Wong to help. Thus, i've been tasked an estimated 5000 account cards to be settled. Yup, so sincerest apologies to all my audiences...


    However it's in these past few days that I've been really happy and all. Being on MC is one thing, And remembering the fact that I'm in NS isn't a very great thing. But recently it's been swell. I composed a new song! I thought i'd never had that kind of inspiration since my last relationship didn't work out. But things took a turn for a change. Can't describe it... Just Enchanting. It's been a long time since I've felt so energized and ready. Ready for what? Not sure... But the feeling's awesome


    Also managed to record 4 of my piano pieces onto my com. Finally managed to pull it off. You know how sometimes u do something and just lack the form? It used to be very common when i tried to record stuff. But last night, I was on form! Played well without significant mistakes or fatique. haha, so I jammed away at my piano, emmeresed in the Musical World.


    Been feeling Soooo Pleased these days.. so here's this cute song. "Mog's Theme" - from Final Fantay VI. Quite queer but pleasantly cute i guess. heh...

September 25, 2003

  • Gosh, i've been neglecting this bloggy because of Friendster. But none the less actually i've been rather busy chatting with a friend for hours! She's really nice. Knowing her better seems like a whole new adventure or some sorts. Well, glad that our friendship's cool =) I've begun taking more fancy to cinnamon rolls... haha


    Jerry was pressing me to buy Dragonball Z Budokai on the Ps2. Actually i bought it quite long ago..  but was really into it. haha Here are some pictures for dear old Jerry to see. Waiting for u to challenge moi Jer. Mwahahaha.. feel my wrath



    Check out tis Matrix style action..



    And finally some major devastating attacks!



    Wow... I wish i could be a super hero too and save the world from evil. Mwahaha


    My knee's still painful these days. I don't quite understand why. Thought it was well enough already, but just yesterday i had a horrible time struggling to keep the clothing when i started raining. Oh well, think i've gotta pray about it too. Have many things to pray about though... about my path before me and about my "Rinoa Heartily." I feel she's near me now.. yet to far. Something tells me i'm in for a good time soon.


    Well today's theme song is... "Battle Theme" - from Final Fantasy VII. It depicts my mood now... haha energetic, fierce and passionate.

September 24, 2003

  • This morning, the most unexpected result of an email made way for a start to a beautiful friendship with an extraordinary person. It's interesting how it feels rather natural. haha well you know who you are right? It was u who taught me that dunking Oreos into milk makes them taste great! Anyway, it was really splendid knowing you. Had much fun and a good time.. even though we're miles away!


    Pity though that she's in another place and her timeline's 12 hours behind us. Maybe it's special because she mirrors much of myself? Or maybe it's simply because she's just special. None the less, through conversation it reminded me that There's a higher power at work everywhere i go. Be it at home or in camp, God's watching over me, carefully laying my path so dearly for me, slowly revealing a wonderfully perfect plan of my life. And in this part of my life, He revealed this girl


    The other half of the day was spent playing the piano. Shucks i got Soooo carried away when i touch that. First it begins with simple warm ups and before l know it, i'm playing concertos or something. Well i've entered a new realm of music. I call it the art of control. Being able to control the loudness, depth and sharpness of a single note is a skill in itself. I mastered that today.. made me move and sway. That's something i never experienced before. It made me entire into an entirely different world! Words can't explain it, but none the less, I finished the last song smiling.

September 22, 2003

  • Well today's been a good morning i think I received a nice email from someone (hehe u know who u are). Wasn't able to come online to blog or whatever recently, because My mum Maxed her powers and changed into "Rage!" form. She's been temperamental these days. Sometimes i feel bad quarrelling with her over little things, but i guess there are times i have to give and take.


    Tonight I'm going to go for my japanese Lesson! Finally able to walk a little after so long. It's about timet too. Missed quite a bit of jap. Can't seem to understand the notes my friends gave me. Felt rather stressed about it last night though. Was deperately trying to understand but but... Sighz.



    Koala's been complaining that i don't put up pics... i'm shy what. hahaha... here's me racking me brains because of Jap. Ugh


    Today's theme song is "Marle's theme" from the RPG game Chrono Trigger. A Princess who ran away from her kingdom to seek thrills and adventure...
