Singaporeans, what can u say that is really a national treasure that every Singaporean can be proud of and can have pride in it?...
is it being kiasu?... (nope to ungracious)
its SINGLISH for goodness sake...
SINGLISH is something that can't be found in any english textbook nor tought in any language class, yet every singaporean seem as familiar with it as almost like twitching of the eye...
passed down to us from our forefathers, Singlish can really bond together all people of all races, bestowing racial harmony... word like la, leh, lor, eh, ah, makan, chiat pa buay are understandable by every singaporean regardless of race...
everybody loves using SINGLISH, no matter what race you are, even tourist who been here in singapore for a short period of time are able to pick some SINGLISH, I ever talk to a caucasian guy and he replied me a sentence with a pinch of Singlish in it...
when you go to the market, you would probably see the vocab of SINGLISH in action, like an aunty bargaining with a butcher, "ah chek ah, give me cheaper price la!"
so put your SINGLISH to good use and don't lose it, if not a vital part of Singapore's culture and heritage will be lost forever...
so happy using your command of SINGLISH, the singapore slang...
=)
well this goes out to a group of people whom I think I used to be very close to, whom I regard as my part of my extended family...
well I got nothing else to do, nowhere to go, no friends to hang out with, no commitments to attend to...
I'm out of it, I'm not in, I'm not close to them anymore, I suddenly feel one arm-length away... It's like I'm in a world of my own right now...
is it because that I've changed?, is it my own wrongdoings that cause me to be like that?...
I feel I dont deserve such an awkward treatment, show me that u care for me. that u guys are indeed my siblings...
I feel so insecure right now...
I know that I have done some things that aren't righteous in the past, but I'm not prefect either, I would like to apologise if I have done anybody wrong, but things have changed...
it seems like they don't want me anymore, like I'm not a part of them anymore...
I havent fought with them nor quarrell nor argue nor piss them off, but things arent the same...
they are so near but yet they seems so far away...
I feel like I'm crashing and burning out...

people are a funny bunch of creatures...
I remember back then when I was still schooling, thinking "man I wanna get out of this school as soon as possible, needing not to wear this dumb uniform and having to be bounded by all this lame school rules set by such country bumkin athourities adjourning the trends or whats 'in' as outlandish..."
come to think about it, school started 2 days ago and I'm still in bed at 7.30am, so blissful for me eh?...
well I dont think so, I feel like something missing in my life right now and thats school...
having to walk pass the gates of Montfort School every schooling day for the past 11 years (1995-2005)... observing the ever changing landscape, from 4 stories to 6 stories...
many of my 1st occured in this instituition, the 1st swear words I hurled at others, fights to teach bullies a lessons, learning to play the recorder during music lessons, getting all dirty in a game of soccer among all the boys, learning virues like respect, peace, care, a good social etiqute, getting all toughten up to face the outside world and many more...
seeing many teachers coming and going ever so often, some great teachers for us to turn to and consult with, some bad teachers too whose passion aint to nuture their students but to abuse, insult and not helping their student when in need... I will remember them all, Miss Cherly Loh, Mr Andy Loh, Mr Edmund James, Mrs Leong, Mdm Suriani, Miss Yap (for punishing me ever so often but still a great teacher =D) and so on...
then came graduation night, both things that came into my mind were oh shit and hell yeah, to think hell yeah cos school out soon and oh shit as my days of being a student here are numbered...
now how I wish I could go back to school to have fun with all the guys in there... RECESS, SCHOOL DISMISS words I loved to hear years back... Ironic right?...
well to all of you guys still in school, enjoy it like today is the last day of school, time and tide waits for no man... one chance one opprotunity, use it dont lose it!...
the lyrics really hit me, even though I got no one to call Baby, but nonetheless if you see it from another angle, you can also reflect this song on someone close to you, (Buddy, bestie, loved ones, someone you would cherish as a friend etc...)
sometimes you dont wanna use and exploit someone dear to you, you dont wanna cry over the wrong-doings your friends have done to you blah blah blah...
HERE IT GOES THE LYRICS OF THE SONG
Now I don't wanna lose you, but I don't wanna use you just to have somebody by my side And I don't wanna hate you I don't wanna take you But I don't wanna be the one to cry That don't really matter to anyone, anymore But like a fool I keep losing my place And I keep seeing you walk through that door
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much And its sad when you know its your heart you can't trust There's a reason why people don't stay where they are Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Now I could never change you and I don't wanna blame you Baby you don't have to take the faultYes I may have hurt you But I did not desert you Maybe I just wanna have it all It makes a sound like thunder It makes me feel like rain And like a fool who will never see the truth I keep thinking something's gonna change
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much And its sad when you know its your heart you can't trust There's a reason why people don't stay where they are Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
And there's no way home when it's late at night and you're all alone Are there things that you wanted to say Do you feel me beside you in your bed there beside you where I used to lay
And there's a Danger in loving somebody too much And it's sad when you know its your heart they can't touch. There's a reason why people don't stay who they are Baby sometimes love just ain't enough. Baby sometimes love-it just ain't enough...ohh, No. No.

yesterday evening, decided to cycle down to Punggol end, on my way there, I bumped into my sec 1&2 classmate...
had a talk to do some catching up, he changed alot since I last saw him, very humble, not at all arrogant and he's freaking pumped up with all the muscles...
bumping into him brought me into some self-reflection as I continued cycling down to Punggol end...
man, times have changed, but yet I seem to be in a world of my own constantly...

recently I've been quite down with alot of things on my mind, friendships, family, myself blah blah blah... I was probably down also because I lost my wallet yesterday with all the stuffs like IC, $100 of cash and some things of semtimental value...
I was so distraught that at one point of time, I could feel the tears rolling up in my eyes, but the tears won't flow out and it was just like rolling in my eyes...
the feeling of wanting to cry but yet something was holding back my tears from flowing out...
but I gotta thank the people who I managed to talk to who cheered me up, thanks also to "agony aunt" too for providing me a listening ear...
