Take one step back to make two steps ahead.

I guess we humans, being warm-blooded animals, will have feeling for the past and take a look back. Well, I know a lot of people will be blogging (or had already in some cases of my friends LOL!) about the year of 2007 before a new year arrive. I am also following suit too, to reflect and take a look back at all the things that I had done this year.

End of year 1. Like finally, and off to work work and more work. Haha, money never seems to be enough then. Then came bAoc'07. Though I didn't went for most of the preparations, I guessed the 3days of events really did make me grow attached to the Gusto Yamataikoku family. All the cam-whorings, jokes and teasing of one another. All the new friends found. All the cheeky cheers that we had. Feli-meli being the best SB for the group. Man, it's been long since we had gathered, ever since the frisbee periods, we hadn't really met up for quite a while. Some are oversea having attachments, some are busy with school works. Haha, hope all the best for them in the new year!

With the splitting up of TB11 in year 2, all of us went into different classes. Call it a blessing in disguise, although I went into a class with the worst timetable imaginable, I was in the same class again with Sooxian, Henry, MingJie and Sherwin. "Mini Tb11" like what others called us, this small group really did bond us closer. We studied together, we ate together, we went into toilet together, we slept together... alright getting a little bit cheeky here. Yea I really appreciate the times that we cared for and protect one another. And the formation of the DWWs with me being in an even higher position. Haha! Well, being the outgoing and sociable person I am, I also made new friends in the new class. What left the deepest impression would be Iok Khai. Smart ass fellow with an attitude no one like. But I somehow do appreciate his friendship. All the talking cocks and hangout at our haunt really did made me think twice about him, in a positive way =) And I need to thank him too, for the souvenir all the way from Mexico. I also made friends with the others, like that aunty which belongs to MJ the 2nd (no offence dude!) and the others.

Then came along attachment. I think I am one of the luckiest in the clique, being attached together with 27 other schoolmates at IRAS Call Center. Seriously, the lessons there maybe boring, but we do find our own entertainment. Then all hell broke loose when we were sent to work. Haha, I should be lucky enough to be located right in the middle of everyone, thus being able to interact with everyone. With my evil twin terror Xi Yao back facing me, "eh wah x2" Shidahbeck beside him and the ever bubbly small sulky squirrel Yi Ye beside him, and Crystal Poh the joker beside me, with Jolene Koh my bitching mate beside me, and mischevious Ben, fake Malaysian Wei Sheng, Wheelpower president Edward, "Mayi monsoe" Keng Nguan, "Lepak sup rokok" khaki Fiza, "forever hungry" Jeslyn, Ze Jia, Hong Ting and the others really did made my attachment days enjoyable. All the stupid jokes, pranks and "Punk'd!", not forgetting all the memorable and Hall of Fame calls we had, and the funny "soups" that always never fails to make us laugh while guiding us. I thank all of you for all the fun! =D

Then the ultimate, unimaginable formation of TB02. Anyone in NP who has to select class will know how tough it is to get into the same class with your cliques. Let alone us, all 12 of us squeezed into it. Most of us from TB11, with addition of Karen, Shermain and Kevin. Formidable tactics and strategy. LOL! Alright back to business. Yea it is fun to be with this bunch of people. All the manual jokes, celebrations, staying overs, gossips, song composing, house visits, and much more really did make us bond closer. Some of us had even matured much from attachment, and some of us had found new love, be it in person or hobbies. And I would like to express my utmost gratitude to you all, for understanding me when I was in deep stress, for all the concerns that you all showered on me. This is one of the best reason why I hanged on, and why I'm loving school! =D

Now for the second reason. BA Society. Seriously, I never thought my life would change that much. With the schedule that I have; preparations, booth duties, trial runs, camps, events. Boy am I busy or what? But like what my saying goes, "One big family", I guess the company that we have is what drives us to work harder. Guess we pretty much see the fruits of our labour, with the biggest and juiciest yet to come. Being a leader and leading by example will be something I never thought I would do. Haha. Guess it's the job and friends made that allow me to enjoy in what I'm doing, thus motivating me to do more. Now BA Society is like a direct substitution for my part-time job in year 1, with some of my friends complaining that I spent too much time in it. Well I think it perhaps all goes down to my commitment and responsibilities that I should have known and bear when I first join, and the promises that I made so some. Haha, and I think I learnt a lot from BA Society, exposing me to all sorts of things outside curriculum, and literally when I'm on stage as the emcee for Talento Tiempo. And all the other friends made during the camps and events. =D

Okay I think that should be all for NP stuffs. Yes RV now it's your turn. Most of my friends from the class of 2004 has changed a lot. All the guys have shaved their heads and joined in the ranks of the Botak Boys. Guess NS really separates the boys from men. I can see a lot of them maturing from there, and being more responsible in their actions. Well, the class of 2005 which just graduated from JCs will soon join the Botak Boys club. Haha. I happen to well, look through some of the photos through the Internet medium of Friendsters and blogs and I somehow couldn't even recognise some of my friends. Most had became prettier and better looking after ditching the white nurse uniform. So the saying is true, that when RV girls shed off their uniforms they will be like a ugly duckling which turned into a beautiful swan. Haha. It's been long since i visit the campus, missing people which turned a point in my life positively, and missing those people who believed in me. People like Ms Ek, Mrs Look, Ms Teo, Chen Quan Loong lao shi(happy marriage eh!), Xie Lao Shi (okay I think she retired), Lim Kim Choo lao shi and many other. And my dearest Ah Hua Jie! Hehe.. anyone wants to go back with me??

2007 also made it a year where I fulfilled my dreams. My baby sitting right behind me at the cost of $1k. Fanatastic buy! Finally a drum set in my home. Woohoo! And a new mp3 player which I recently bought, much to the envy of many =x Haha okay be modest MingJun! And finally registering for driving license. But there's still one dream which had yet to be fulfill though: my tattoo. Haha.

This year has also seen a dramatic change in my family. Grandpa got ill suddenly and was hospitalised, making all of us worried. I could still remember that day when my mum called me halfway through KPT's lesson, crying on the phone telling me that my grandpa was sent to the hospital. How I rushed out of class after lesson ended, and ignoring Wee Kok on the way out (oops). How much my heart pains when I see him with all the tubes and the words that came out of his mouth, and how I tried to fight back my tears but failed. Oh god please bless my grandpa with good health for the coming years! And how my grandma suddenly had to put a bandage over her knee to keep herself warm. Well I suppose that's life, and it has to go on. The younger ones grow up, the middle-aged grows old, and the old ones grow weak. But still, seeing the smile during joyous occasions do make me feel blessed to be in the family. My dad and mum are still in the pink of health, and my sis is doing well in her job, being the assistant manager within a few months. She's in Bago City now doing her annual volunteering works, and I hope that she will return home safely! =D Haha, I think most of you will be shocked at how much I blogged about this part cause I seldom speak about my family.

2007. What a year. Learning much more that I expected, excelling in things that I never imagined. All the ups and downs of the emotional rollercoaster, all the politics around everywhere, all the new friends found. Let all hope that 2008 will be a greater year, with all of us working harder, playing even harder! Stay happy and positive all! And please, pray for world peace. Signing off with well wishes for the new year! Happy new year and a happy 2008! =D

wonder women.

I don't know why I just have a sudden urge to blog. Hah. Anyway let me wish RODNEY a happy birthday! Stay happy dude and continue to rock on. =D

Alright so nowadays will be projects chionging day. Rushing for 4 projects which deadlines are all next week. I can't wait for next fri to come seriously. By then all the projects should be submitted or more or less done, and 4f gathering. Come quick!

And suddenly I feel that women in my house are seriously wonder women. My mum, being a butcher is tough enough. Wthe hen I used to work in the market in her, I couldn't imagine how she can always find the strength to crush the bones of the pigs, cutting them into pieces. And then again looking after me, and tolerate my nonsense. Haha, wonder mum.

Now my sister. I just saw her volunteering video not long ago. Was touched. Seriously touched. The kids at Bago City, Philippines are seriously more pathetic and in need of help than most of the kids here. It is amazing, how I appreciate her work to the society even though I am not the recipients. Although we used to bicker (even till now we sometime do..), I am proud to have her as my sister. Now I understand why she find so much joy in doing it. Maybe one year when I am free I can go do oversea volunteering works with her. Haha.

All right, I think I better stop here. Let me wish all a Happy New Year in advance first. And our 小胃公主 a happy 18th on new year eve! =D

feed the world.

Never had I thought sending email is tough enough, especially when there are thousand plus recipients. Haha.

So had thanksgiving dinner with my classmate just now. Kinda cool of us to have such a Singaporean dinner of zi char to celebrate x'mas. Amazingly but we enjoyed the meals with joy and laughter.

And sister pu is now in Bago City. Hopefully all is well there and that she remember to buy present back for me. Hah, actually a lot of my secondary school friends should be going abroad to buy gifts for me after their A's.

You know sometime when something seems to be a love-hate affair to you? You're in such a dilemma, in a state of confusion to even think properly. This feeling sucks totally, and I'm sure people around me will feel the same way too. Oh well, all I can say is beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Wow I came to realise what a random post this is. Maybe just to blog about my thoughts and feeling these few days. Too many running through my precious brain, overflowing. Haha okay before I end this entry, shall share with you one of my favorite x'mas song. (I know it's over but this song just rock down the house totally!). Enjoy!

shagged..............

BAMP! is finally over. 3 days of fun and excitement, 3 days of work leads to total shaggy-ness. LOL! And thanks to everyone who cheered us on, like what the motto goes, "Your Enthusiasm, Our Motivation". Heh, shall upload some photos when i get them.

Speaking of Society, I realised I haven't blog my thank-you entry to them for my birthday. I know it's a little too late but here goes...

Alright I guess that should be all who wished me. Heh alright I think I shall take a short nap for now. Slept for 12hours after BAMP! straight, which made me overslept for work today. Have fun and happy holidays people!

fun! =D

Woohoo! I'm don't know what has got into me but I am feeling this adrenaline rush in me! This the season to be jolly~~

Alright, so went to stay over at 小胃公主 with the rest of the class on monday. Haha fun throughout, with all the jokes and stupid comments made. Night bicycle ride with Ming Jie and Ah Boy, from Keat Hong to CCK park to Teck Whye to Bbdc (speaking of which, I should go for my BTT soon -.-") to Rod's house to Ah Boy's house to Sooxian's house to Hillview to railway track to Bukit Panjang to Teck Whye (again!) then back to Keat Hong. Lol and my butt still hurts a little bit =/ Yea then had our own miniature sports day and short mahjong session before ending it with a quite, sensitive and mature discussion session. Hah! Yea more get together soon!

So Ah Boy is now with Thai 妹 sawadeekup-ing, with Ming Jie following later. Haha, X'mas is coming and so is the celebrations! Yes Rod and Hui'er? Heh..

"Booking in" for BAMP! later, better sleep awhile now if not I doubt I can rest well with fear of free mint facial! Rock on people!

who needs a break?

Phew finally the torturous common test is over! It had been putting the pressure on my mental side, with my evil side procrastinating to study. No high hopes for results =/ But anyway holidays are here so time to cheer! As always, I am very optimistic and happy go lucky. HAHA!

Okay brief recap. After paper on Friday hit the down for our "post-CT celebration" with my class. Watched a kid movie which I slept like 95% through out the movie. So much so for the magical touches of toys and rating from newspaper. Heh. Then had a family gathering today. My ah gong's birthday dinner. Sumptuous meal, and good entertainment watching Star Awards '07 on the large projection by the restaurant. Yeap, it's been a while since I get to meet my folks, so I was rather pissed everything ended so fast and early. -.-" Nvm I think there will be a sequel tmr, steamboat at my grandma's house! Woohoo I'm gonna defy the positive point of my previous entry.

So holidays are here, and I have 3 projects to rush and works to cover and a camp in the coming weekend. Holiday? Lol how ironic. But getting excited about the camp coming up! Woots! Oh ya and I gotta meet my sec sch friends real soon, before some of them join in the Botak Gang. Yea 4F people if you all are reading this, please date me out real soon yea? I'm beginning to reminisce the secondary school laughters. =)

(#*$&@)(#*$@#@(*&^

Never had I felt so despair before. I think that the aftermath of my lack in discipline and over-confidence. Oh for f**k sake FOCUS PLEASE MINGJUN! *slap myself upside down*

Alright, BLaw owned me today. Totally. I just don't know why I don't have the drive or motivation to study. This is completely different from why I wanted to enter poly. The positive feeling is gone. Or maybe I just seek the thrill of last minute work.

Anyway, you people don't need to console or worry for me. Life has it's up and down, but my down is only a short period. I guess that this down is just like, the opposite effect to my celebrations and high time lately. But I'm still very happy, that recently, a lot of people said that I had slimed down. Woohoo! Happy. =)


*I just need somewhere to vent my feelings!*

final teenage celebration

So touched. So loved. So happy.

Yea so yesterday was my birthday. I must really thank all who remember it, and wish me in one way or another. Felt so loved, really appreciate it.

The American life.

I think my bio clock is spoilt. Sleeping at the wrong hour and doing works at unearthly hour. I feel as if I am a hunter in the night, being so ever active at night and dead in the day. Hopefully this is only a temporary effect from the hectic schedule I had because I don't think I can afford to live this lifestyle during the common test period. Speaking of which, I should or rather, I must get to my books real soon because I really don't understand a single thing taught this semester.

Haha, so finally Talento-Tiempo is over. I feel that it is quite a good job well done by all. Thanks to the project heads, my co-host emcee, the helpers, the participants, and audience and my ever so enthusiastic supporters despite the fact that I was not even competing in any category. Yeap can see that we did not really prepare ourselves well but we pulled it through anyhow. A splendid and memorable night I must say. =D

After the show, packing up and debrief, had dinner around 0130. Like a bit of the early for dinner already but was too hungry then. Haha, then some of the guys just came my house to stay overnight, a cheaper alternative than cabbing back to individual home. All their msn nick was, "@mj's house. FEELING!". I think I can foresee more of these to come around March. Haha..

And FMGT project is finally O-V-E-R! Woohoo~! Another load off my mind and back. It was all right I guess, expecting some satisfactory grade. Time to concentrate on the common test!
