wow there are so many dance talents living in the halls. haha maybe i'm kind of overrating them, but wells many people who can dance on stage are place at a much higher dance value wrt myself so are worthy of praise. sherman got tickets (all were complimentary) from his pharm good friend so we went and mmm it was enjoyable. many good-looking people to see haha. many good-looking moves to watch. it's amazing that people my age or a few years older can choreograph entire dances and some were really artistic or entertaining! and we were given good seats!
yay it's so nice living at kuok - 5minutes and i'm back from a performance liao. it was pretty long. 19 dances, about 2hours excluding the intermission. and the flow of the whole show was really smooth. ohh i was kind of overwhelmed seeing so many well-dressed people. hmm there are so many good-looking people around!
oh ya Kai Yun and I went to PGP for lunch and we didn't want to wait for the bus coz we just missed one and on Public Holidays the shuttle bus comes once every half hour so we decided to walk there (from Kuok). Wah it turned out to be a mini adventure haha. coz we tried to take a shortcut by going behind S5 (Chemistry block) from the side of LT21. We climbed up the slope and found out that we couldn't go further up from there (it was too steep) and so we went down from the other side at the back and it turned out to be a dead end! There was a door but it was like never used. At the top on the other side was Level 1 of the Raffles Museum but since today's Good Friday I deduced that it's closed so we didn't try that route.
Then Kai Yun noted that the window of the Chem lab was open and there was someone inside so she suggested climbing up in there through the window. Omg. If not for her I won't have done such a thing. (coz I'm too paiseh to ask the person in the lab for permission.) But since she didn't want to go the same way back again I decided to support her suggestion. But there was a big plastic pipe that we had to use as a step up onto a ledge (over a metre off the ground) before stretching over another metre up to the bottom of the window.
Kai Yun went first and initially she was quite worried that the plastic pipe would give way under her weight. But okay la she's only a tiny bit heavier than me and I thought it should be able to support a weight like ours. So after some reassuring she went up. We were kind of opposite in that the part she found easy (getting up in through the window from the ledge) I had found difficult and even needed her to give me a pull from the inside (she being a dancer and me being an inflexible person) ; and the part she found intimidating (moving across the ledge about a metre after stepping on the plastic pipe to get to the opened part of the sliding window) I had found okay.
haha so that was our mini adventure. the person in the lab didn't really care about us at all. and it seemed like this kind of thing (having people climbing in thru the window) happened quite often to him that he didn't bother. haha I find it so hilarious. After we left the lab through the door (and I realised it was my CM1121 Organic Chem lab) Kai Yun told me that when she asked him for permission to get in (after she got onto the ledge) he said she could enter through the door. hahaa so funny! Like we are two silly people wanting to submit lab report but didn't know the existence of doors and so decided to enter the lab through the window from the back of the building. lol...
mmm at PGP we ordered from Astons Express. I've been to the Foodgle's Hub a few times but never tried that stall. This time I decided to try since it's quite a big portion I wanted to stuff myself with some nice food since we were going running in the evening. (but it turned out to be a bad decision coz our stomach got burning and so we walked back from Kent Ridge Park after running there). And wow it's really yummy! I had the Spicy Grilled Chicken Spaghetti that came with soup and garlic toast. Everything was so tasty! yayyy I like very tasty food :) and it was soooo filling. Worth the price ($5.70).
Kai Yun was wondering what's Pasta Salad so I was telling her about it and that the one at The Sandwich Shop where I worked before tasted very good. Astons' service staff overheard and said theirs was good too so I casually replied that we don't get to try it (or something like that - I can't remember my exact words). I wasn't even serious at all (I'm my full of crap self when hanging out with Kai Yun) but the service staff offered to let us try!
geez next time when I go there I would be so paiseh! :S oh well hope he doesn't remember!
oh ya about Kent Ridge Park. It's such a nice place - quiet, elevated, scenic view. Made me feel nice and peaceful I would have liked to hang around longer if not for lack of time and especially the mosquitoes! Ugh I'm such a frequent target for mosquitoes :( anyway when we were walking back I thought I would like to explore Singapore on foot. (But definitely not when it's hot la. hm Kai Yun suggested night cycling - maybe I can do it with CSS since Weicong had brought it up earlier this sem.) There are so many places I haven't seen. But then having good company is important. hmm hope I can go exploring during the coming three-month break. Apart from doing one special sem module and handling my 2CCAs and other usual stuffs.
Wahhh 12:02am liaoss. poof!
edited to add (9.29am): oh ya. and we strode back to kuok from the bus-stop opposite in heavy rain after our lunch coz Kaiyun couldn't run with her slippers and there was some reaction coming from the packed bus-stop of people who just got off the same shuttle bus as us. (I realised at night that they were going for the matinée session of Dance Uncensored. At that time I was telling Kaiyun that it was so weird suddenly so many people going back to Kuok/Raffles Hall. haha silly me).
I'm thankful for my mother, my family, my friends, you, and myself. Feelings are hard to put into words. But it doesn't mean they are not present.
yea, despite how much I see a need for self-improvement, I'm thankful for myself and all that has happened to me in the past 21 years. And I'm thankful to everyone close to me for making me feel this way.
I think I never really used that word, because I never really felt it (or more accurately - I never really recognised the feeling), but now I do. I love my mother, my family, my friends, you, and myself. And I'm thankful to you for bringing out this feeling in me. It got lost somewhere along the way when I was growing up, I think. Though I don't know how this happened. And I ended up never using the word since I don't lie.. Wells, I think it could be that my priorities were gotten wrong - I had placed work as utmost important. No longer so.
Finally now I see so much meaning in life (yea before this recognisation I never really saw meaning in life..)
ahh these thoughts come so slowly to me, it's already 933am. time to leave for badminton soon.. ohh yar, reminds me, I love to exercise too, and I love to eat. Wheeeee. So glad :)
The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings.
Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at work.
Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable.
A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the kitchen, with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other.
What began as a typical Saturday morning turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time.
Let me tell you about it.
I turned the volume up on my radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning talk show. I heard an older sounding chap with a golden voice. You know the kind, he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business himself.
He was talking about "a thousand marbles" to someone named "Tom".
I was intrigued and sat down to listen to what he had to say.
"Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you're busy with your job. I'm sure they pay you well but it's a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. Too bad you missed your daughter's dance recital."
He continued, "Let me tell you something Tom, something that has helped me keep a good perspective on my own priorities."
And that's when he began to explain his theory of a "thousand marbles."
"You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic.
The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years.
Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900 which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime."
"Now stick with me Tom, I'm getting to the important part.
It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail", he went on, "and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays.
"I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy. So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round-up 1000 marbles.
I took them home and put them inside of a large, clear plastic container right here in my workshop next to the radio. Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away."
I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life.
There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight.
Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast.
This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container.
I figure if I make it until next Saturday then God has blessed me with a little extra time to be with my loved ones......
"It was nice to talk to you Tom, I hope you spend more time with your loved ones, and I hope to meet you again someday. Have a good morning!"
You could have heard a pin drop when he finished.
Even the show's moderator didn't have anything to say for a few moments.
I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to do some work that morning, then go to the gym.
Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss.
"C'mon honey, I'm taking you and the kids to breakfast."
"What brought this on?" she asked with a smile.
"Oh, nothing special," I said.
"It has just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids. Hey, can we stop at a toy store while we're out? I need to buy some marbles."
"fenellaaaa think of something soon!" "youth is slipping awayyyyy"
quoting pam from our chat last night. she was telling me that "maybe u can stop beating yourself up about having a little less things to do man. instead try getting yourself to do something that u reallllly always wanted to do. cuz u know what they say--- we are only young once".
What is it that I really want to do? Mainly I know that I want to be happy. But I don't really know what I want to do.. Then I asked Pam what is it that she always wanted to do and she replied that if she had the money and time, she wants to continue learning jap. That's so nice. To have a simple wish that's quite fulfill-able. Tho of course the current issue is that she doesn't have both.
Before this I was complaining why don't I work as hard as jc and before and she said, "maybe u dont have to work as hard? have u ever thought about that?" which I found thought-provoking. Is that really the case? That maybe I don't have to work as hard? If so how much should I work?
Last quote "sometimes we give ourselves a hard time without realising that it's kinda... unnecessary". And I whined that it comes too naturally.. which was what led to the advice in the first para.
hmmm. a nagging issue now is studying. I think I need to tell myself that I want a first class honours degree before I would start studying as hard as I did for jc and before. BUT. I haven't convinced myself that I want first class honours.. Furthermore my grades for sem1 weren't even worthy enough for second upper... so if I want first I would really have to work hard from now on for the next 3+years.. and this studying issue is linked to everything else in my life! Due to opportunity costs of course..
Currently I keep doing things apart from studying.. Like now I have a test tomorrow which I'm unprepared yet yesterday evening/night I spent 2hours chatting with a Chinese friend to help him improve his spoken English. (This latest commitment I've only just taken up last week). I was also going around doing stuff for my CSS bazaar.. it's quite disappointing we have a team of 10 assigned to get vendors yet so far only 5 vendors have been signed and 3 were by me. I could actually find more but because of the progress of the others which seems to imply to me a lack of effort, I don't feel like trying harder. And furthermore people close to me come telling me that I should work less hard and give myself more priority.. wellss it's really easy for me to be made use of by others.. and problem is I am a willing party! (I like to help people whom I don't mind helping). arghh wo siao de.. keep giving myself internal conflicts..

Other Recommended Readings by Marc
The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin – Few books have had as significant an impact on the way society views the natural world and the genesis of humankind.
The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell – Gladwell looks at how a small idea, or product concept, can spread like a virus and spark global sociological changes. Specifically, he analyzes “the levels at which the momentum for change becomes unstoppable.”
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens – This is a tale that lingers on the topic of attaining and maintaining a disciplined heart as it relates to one’s emotional and moral life. Dickens states that we must learn to go against “the first mistaken impulse of the undisciplined heart.”
Lolita – This is the kind of book that blows your mind wide open to conflicting feelings of life, love and corruption… and at times makes you deeply question your own perceptions of each. The story is as devious as it is beautiful.
Getting Things Done by David Allen – The quintessential guide to organizing your life and getting things done. Nuff said.
How To Cook Everything by Mark Bittman – 900 pages of simple instructions on how to cook everything you could ever dream of eating. Pretty much the greatest cookbook ever written. Get through a few recipes each week, and you’ll be a master chef by the time you’re 30.
Honeymoon with My Brother by Franz Wisner – Franz Wisner had it all… a great job and a beautiful fiancée. Life was good. But then his fiancée dumped him days before their wedding, and his boss basically fired him. So he dragged his younger brother to Costa Rica for his already-scheduled honeymoon and they never turned back… around the world they went for two full years. This is a fun, heartfelt adventure story about life, relationships, and self discovery.
Self-note: Tip for my future business =D
give employees reasonably high pay to keep them- otherwise they are unlikely to stay loyal.
treat employees not according to how well they treat me but how conscientious they are at work

14Feb10: "New York, I Love You" w Mom (I loved it! a good couple movie with meaningful pointers to keep it going. but i think some stories could be more developed)
16Feb10: rewatched "The Pianist" (still find it good, tho i still feel first viewings are the best)
17Feb10: "Valentine's Day" w CHL n WB (laughed throughout - a feel-good movie; liked the fact that the various stories binded tog so well with the little surprises here and there, vs NY ILU in which each story was separate)
20Feb10: "赤壁二" w Addy, Karen, Sharon, SJ (should have watched the first one first cos i ended up not knowing who's who and what's happening and had to keep asking :/ and couldn't pay attn.. if not i think it should be a pretty good movie..)
4Mar10: "Alice in Wonderland 3D" w Mf (i found the 3D effects of this @ CCK Shaw SO much better than Avatar @ The Cathay =/ and the movie was much more enjoyable too! - cheered a sad me up :)) favourite quote - the Mad Hatter: “You used to be much muchier before. ... You have lost your muchness.”)

Letters to God (very simple Christian movie)
22Nov10: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" w Ame, Irene (they loved it. pretty good, i guess the main problem i had was that im not familiar with HP :X)
13Dec10: "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" w Sj (not bad, could follow the story unlike HP. like the meaningful teachings, too long - in a post)
2Mar11: "The King's Speech" w Ame (hilarious, inspirational, tho it doesn't impress me that much to understand why it's the Oscar winner)
Mar11: "10 Things I Hate About You" very funny. silly sweet high school romance. just right for having breaks in between doing homework
23May11: "Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides" w Wb Yl Ame Pg (pretty good - scenery, freakish parts, fighting scenes, dressing, humour, bits of Christianity like when the Spanish said "only God gives life")
6Jun11: "Xmen First Class" w Wb Ame Pg (i was very keen on watching it and it was really good! intellectual, makes sense, cool action, some humour)
9Jun11: "Legally Blonde 2" w Irene (seems like some dumb blonde movie but kind of meaningful too - speaking up for yourself and what you stand for)
17Jun11: "Something Borrowed" w Sandy Lisa (quite funny, somewhat meaningful wrt friendships. they didn't like the lack of sense for one part tho)
16Jul11: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" w Irene, Sweetee, Kw (not bad. i didn't understand some parts again but the humour and effects were pretty good)
Aug11 "Horrible Bosses" w Ma (she fell asleep! gosh. the movie was very crude i must say but there was the humour)
25Oct11: "The Three Musketeers" w H (i would rate it 3.5 for humour/intellectual language and 4 for action. it's by the same producer or director as Sherlock! but a bit less awesome albeit a good chill out movie)
5Nov11: "Real Steel" w Hl (action packed but not too hardcore for me. i liked that there was the father and son element and how the father eventually softened his heart and especially the part when charlie was having trouble telling max sth and max was so understanding saying "Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me." touching and demonstrates true fighting spirit)
12Dec11: "50/50" w L (adopting her words - a heavy topic put across in a lighthearted way, but not taking away d meaning. most of it was rather hollywood-ish trashiness but there were a couple of punch lines "u can't change ur parents, but u can change d way u respond to them.")
25Dec11: "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" w KY (ultimate action packed! super tense almost throughout the movie, and interesting Tom Cruise made it such that not everything happened smoothly - he would jump and misland and get all sorts of injuries..it's really the courage to jump without hesitation even though you are not sure you'll be alive after that. KY loved d movie and said she would watch it again!)
3Jan12: "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" w KY (i love mystery (: and the witty sarcastic dialogues. good level of excitement with the action. didn't understand some parts as usual. i like Holmes and Watson they depict such a true pair of buddies ;D)
23Jan12: "You are the Apple of My Eye" w mom (now i understand why guys like this movie so much - the anxiety of chasing after a girl and the acts schoolboys do to get the girl's attention and hopefully affection. the initial fluttering and the subsequent quarrelling)
22Mar12: "The Iron Lady" w KY (really love Thatcher's sharp words. inspiring and thought-provoking, tho i was still left uncertain of what to do with my life, the movie is definitely an encouraging one)
29Mar12: "Barney's Version" w SJ (a funny movie of a screwed up life of a man who had 3 wives, smoked and drank but very heartwarming at the same time, the relationships with the dad and the 3th wife - quotable quotes!)
27Apr12: "The Hunger Games" w Mom
4May12" "Avengers" w MF n PS (funny, action-packed)
7Jul12: "The Amazing Spiderman"
