::Taurusification::

I was just mentioning...in fact, complaining to a good guy fren of mine about another guy.
Effectively, i was complaning to a Taurus about another fellow Taurus, whom i have an unusual love-hate connections with.
What a startling find.
I was about to get taurusified.

Im getting to know this taurus better thru another taurus...the way a typical taurus works, behind those weird, complex, toxicated, complicated, strange, attitude, dun-give-a-damn, cocky, one-of-a-kind tissues, membranes, blood, cells, whatever in their head. I was even glad to know that my taurus ain't the ONLY rare find in the world...there is another someone who is suffering the fate as me. So im not the only "lucky" one on earth. hahahha~ sorry mokie... perhaps ur girl and i would make great pals?? kekeke...

But anyway, i was alarmed at how these 2 tauruses shared similar behaviour and thinking...and i thought one is just bad enough...why are there two of them or even MORE!? hahhaha~ however, i'm still glad that i have someone to talk to regarding that weird creature in my museum. at least, they seem to read each other's mind. and i can benefit from it? hahaha~ show me some taurus in you, mokie. i bet i can take it....or perhaps i should learn a few tricks from ur girl? or let me know the secrets to a taurus? ahhahaha~ with an aries spirit in me, i dun believe i can't overcome this. or was it a velviie spirit in an aries? heh! im just as stubborn as those bulls! both has horns, dun they?

before i left, he whispered a "good luck"....makes me wonder if that's a blessing or a warning...coming from a true blue taurus himself.

::Project FirstLighters::


Finally... i got to meet my fellow crazy FirstLighters after quite some time! Had a good time eating and catching up with one another.... and...erm....of coz not forgetting our infamous photo-taking!!!
Lotsa memories during those days in Kampong Cham, Cambodia flooded my mind...The days that we spent living under one kampong hut still remains vividly in my mind. How we spent half a year in Singapore preparing for the expedition...building the connection and bond that we still have as of today. And then how we spent our days in the olden style...no electricity...no taps...no proper toilet....but lotsa fun, sweat and meaningful experiences.

i can still remember how we cooked for 30pax under the red hot sun...how we washed the veggies, prepared the dishes using charcoal... And then how we washed the dishes using minimal water as we did not have enough water! And then how we do our laundry..... hahaha..manual dry cleaners some more...kekkeke! of coz not forgetting our core duties! to build the classroom! well..what can i say? i understood how to build the walls now!!! how to mix the cement...layer it with bricks....and then furnish it with paint...what a process!!

All these sacrifices are nothing in order to build better lives for people who are truely in need. The kids there are so adorable...and innocent and some with big aspirations! I wonder how are they doing now...Makara, Sai Ha and Thu Na...those little things that they did...touched and warmed my heart. Hope they are doing well...

and till now...whenever i look up and see the stars hanging in the dark sky..... it always remind me of the same sky i saw in Kampong Cham.....except...there were lotsa of shooting stars. unforgetable memories....

:: my convocation :: 9th July 2005


on the 9th July, i attended my convocation in NUS UCC. Finally...after 3 years of slogging...no wait...after 20 over years of studying....i finally graduated not just from uni but from all schools!! As i was sitting down watching the my fellow mates up the stage, streams of past memories flowed back...the fun, the laughter, the sweat, the anger, the frustration, the helplessness.....everything.... just seemed to happen only yesterday.
A mixture of happiness and sadness i felt. Stepping into aother stage of my life makes me feel excited and motivated...dreaming of my future, painting the pictures just the way i want it. Yet... leaving the good'ol memories seems to be rather painful.

i guess...life goes on....take care my fellow mates..... those slogging days in the darn NUS...shall never forget....
*peace*
