Changes

I need Makeover.

My fashion expired 2 years ago and I am still sticking to it mainly cuz I am not a wealthy man neither is my father. I just went to take a look a shoes in Queensway shopping centre and how exposed I was to the term "Retail price".

A street boots at 55 when it cost 99 at usual shopping outlets, what a deal not to be missed. I still can't get a deal for my converse whites though. Oh yea, I forgot about my jogging shoes, that can come later.

A list of things-to-do really kept me going and resuming me to my positiveness.

Why so serious Jem?

yea...tell that to the emo sitting at the corner residing at the edge of the stairway.

At least I am picking myself up, of course, with the help of Crusade.

Oh just a thought, Birthday Wishes to Priscilla! *smiley face*

Subcom Camp

Well...I'm finally back from camp...and I was too tired to even post...In fact, I'm still tired now...and I can't get my positive emotions back.

I must say that the time in camp really took my mind off things. Well at least I had fun while it lasted.

Well, back to school life, all the lessons and stuff, I like this block for its all about Video...I shall be at ease.

Nothing can explain why I am feeling like this right now...all that suits me now is just a lil song...that keeps playing in my head all day long.

It will pass...I hope...

I'm not emo...am I?

Sudden realisation

Well...I've been good recently. Some things are still left unchanged though, my lack of sleep, my daily routines, my meals, etc.

If I haven't keep track of time, I wouldn't have realised that its been half a year and I am already year 2, at least now I am feeling it. Seems like I need to keep up or I'll fall out.

Weird it may seem, but I just realised a lot today with me doing self reflection on my way home. The theme summed up "Its now or never".

Many things come and go and I always think that I am too slow and fail to notice even when I am aware. The things is that, I always doubt my gifting.

Its never too late.

So well, I figured that I should apply this in all aspects of my life, anywhere, anytime. Otherwise, I would again repeat the same mistakes, when all is too late.

As for work-based development wise, I decided to start doing some doodles and software exploration. I am not gonna sit there and play games, not as much.

As for the other aspects, well, I would just have to start learning and accepting.

Oh well, that's a lot of promises for a night, I should get back to doing my assignment

Did I mention that its due tomorrow?

Last Straw

Heres a quick defination of Priority found in Dictionary.com...

pri·or·i·ty

n. pl. pri·or·i·ties

Precedence, especially established by order of importance or urgency.
1. An established right to precedence.
2. An authoritative rating that establishes such precedence.
A preceding or coming earlier in time.
Something afforded or deserving prior attention.

Yes...If thats too difficult how about my defination?

"Do what is of greater importance first!"

Ye know...even as I have said this many times, some people just don't get it. You think you're gonna get far with skills and knowledge of a certain software?

YOU THOUGHT WRONG!

You can't even get your priotities right, nevermind if you are not interested at all in doing those "unrelated" modules, don't pull your freaking group members down!

Yes I am Angry!

So what if you can do fancy stuff when you are always late, no apologises for your tardiness, shows no interest in projects, belittle modules of "least importance", do not bother to make time to help your group members, procastinate work and to top it off, don't even bother at all!

I may be nice but ye crossed the line man...Patience is eradicated from my senses when it comes down to this.

This is the last straw & you're gonna reap what you sow if no further actions of repentance is initiated. Don't blame me bro, blame yourself.

When I say its cool, its means the cold side of me. Go figure.

Wait & See if you even bother to be early tomorrow.

Forgive me if I am wrong...I don't think I am.

Words of Wisdom

My Dad told me something important today...He got a job offer for me at some high class retail shop...Nice pay..Problem is...I am not interested at all.

Well...I was pretty hesitant on taking that offer...I wanted to take a break in my holidays...and besides...I've got Poly Forum which I don't even know when.

I can say that my expression just now would have totally shooed my Dad off my back...BUT, He was patient enough to convince me, which weren't really convincing.

However, he told me something that I've forgotten ever since I got busy.

"Don't confine yourself in a circle. Explore!
Get out of that small fish tank, take on the river, then the sea.
The Sky is your limit." - Dad

Basically he said that all in Chinese and I just summarised it so it's somewhere along that line. Oh he didn't say the Sky part, I just thought that it would fit in.

I love Philosophy myself and I thought that it was really a great lesson to be learned. I am proud to have a him as a Dad and this ain't no corny stuff, if you even know what I mean.

If I recall correctly, I remembered telling saying like this to Greg today too, He wasn't as receptive though. Looks like I have to practise what I preach.

Seems like I might wanna go take on the river after all, anyone interested?*

Thanks Dad.

Applicable for design students only for our holidays falls on those days*

Audio Fun

I had Fun in audio today cuz we were supposed to cover for the song "If I let you go" by Westlife. It was, is and still will be the most emotional song I have ever heard.

Sometimes I find myself in between the lines of the lyrics.

We had lots of takes...yea...

-I tired to sing the higher pitch

-Jake did the Shane part

-Raj decided to add in his Indian accent

-Greg was just...trying to be funny...

-Wendy was the sound coordinator

Well...in the end, we sang another original proper one...with no funny stuff inside cuz there were lots of spectators. It kinda made me feel shy...and I think i couldn't hit the pitch partly cuz of that...or is it that I just cant hit it from the start...

Oh yea...I am finally back into Crusade...haven seen them in awhile...

I should work on my conversation skills...It's making me look bad.

Ok...I gotta sleep...nite

Youth Sunday Success

Omg(literally)...The CCF Youth Sunday event was a....SUCCESS! =)

I am really thankful to God for helping us pull through the tough times of practice...despite the fatigue, the discouragements and all(I really mean it)...We made it...!

Good Job to you all guys!

It is just the begining...

In time to come, Im sure we will all be better and more experienced in the art of Worship...and not just Music itself...

Theres too many to thanks thus I shall no mention names...U know it.

And yes...I am so tired now...just came back from a good nights jog. It gets harder as I age. I thought that I could shed some pounds(Im lean though) and keep myself refreshed for the nights work.

Seems like I made myself even more worn out, it worked the last time...maybe I jogged a little too long. ._.

Oh yea...Thanks be to Wei Jie for the great BBQ...It was fun while it lasted.

Man...I gotta start making my moves or I'll never get things right.

Dinner with Old Timers

Well...I had a great dinner today with my buddy and Jade(d)...I must say...its been too long since I even spoke to them...They made my day today. =)

We settled at PS. Cafe to Eat and stuff and good God the food prices were sky high...I wouldn't even dare to order the side dishes...let alone the main course. The place was great though, as in the design and layout, even the service is beyond comprehension.

Ye noe...I felt really pretty astonished when Buddy said she would treat me to it and kinda felt guilty too...cuz shes always treating me...so one day when I make it big, I am so gonna bring them out for a feast!

Throughout the whole night, we were so entertained with each other that i think it made the other diners feel like they've got little source of entertainment...Lets just say that we made merry and it lasted the night.

Oh right....Jade made me a very nice impromptu card...The thought of making it is already greatly appreciated. =)

Haha...The funny thing is that Jade actually printed the map out to locate the cafe....we ended up asking passer-bys for help in the end...So much for maps...haha....

I'm really thankful to have great friends like them, they would always be there for me...regardless of anything...

Well...Jades got the pictures for the night so I can't upload them till she sends it to me...well...its up to imagination for now...

This sounds a lil cliche but...Buddies for life gals! =)
