Don't take things for granted
Don't take things for granted,
The things you like might not always ben with you.
Don't take things for granted,
The car you drive might not always be working well.
Don't take things for granted,
The sunny days might not always last.
Don't take things for granted,
Your parents might not always be there to nag at you.
Don't take things for granted,
The comfort of home and peace might not always be there for you.
Don't take things for granted,
The person you love might not always be single for you.
Don't take things for granted,
The ice cream you holding might simply just melt away.
Don't take things for granted...
I learnt it the hard way.

First day of the New Chinese Year.
Yeah, today's chu yi. First day of the chinese lunar new year. So by the chinese traditions of i don't know when, most chinese families would go door to door visiting their relatives today. Mostly their parents and siblings. Friends usually come later, not the 1st day. Alrights, so my family wasn't any different or special too, i went to my grandma's house at Queensway. Come to think of it, i only go once a year or so. How unfilial you may think i am but then again, my parents don't go there often too. Only ocassionly my dad went down to pass some money on and stuff you see. Thus, it's like that. We only have this gathering thing every once a year at chinese new year, thus, treasure it while i still can. =)
It has really been awhile seens i really look up at the night sky for stars. Today seem to have an extremely clear sky. Even though it was kinda bright, but i still manage to spot a few. Ah, how time flies. Really.
Tired.
Felt the night breeze today after having supper with yt again. 2 days in a row for now. It was cooling and mind refreshing. Something that i find healthy in a certain way, at least for me. But the late nights are bad I admit. *grins*. My parents are trying hard to stop me. =) I shall be a good boy and sleep soon I guess. (Even though it's already like 1:30am now)
Yeah, my mum and dad are still engross in their China New Year celebration programme on the tv, something that will never miss every year without fail. Also listening to them debating who's from Singapore and who's not. ( As in those performers, there are some singaporeans invited to perform apparently)
Today was kinda great. But the year seem quick to pass...
No matter how lonely in time we may be, there are always the stars above as looking down. It's just that we might not see them, but they always see us. =)

Vulnerable
Ever wonder what if one day, just somehow and someday, the thing, person, object etc. you have so much belief and faith in suddenly stands on no longer.(not religiously ya.) Some things you do or you believe in starts to decline in you. It starts to lose the position in you. One of your vital energy that had always kept you going cause you have something left to believe in suddenly seem so different to you. You feel lost. You're actually not as great in whatever you do or think or is, than what you might not see yourself as. Not as smart, not as good, not as rich, not as cool, so on...
Will you feel lost? Weak? Powerless? Sad? Destroyed? Fading off? Vulnerable?....

Endless Waltz
Results for 'O's are going to be out real soon, maybe like 2 weeks time or so. Chinese New Year is drawing ever close and near. People had long ago decorated everywhere possible with beaming red items and stuff all over. Life's still busy in JC with Fun-O-Rama and band concert up the belt now. Lessons have gone into full with tutorials introduced this week. This seems ever long and never end...endless...
Oh wells, i guess most ppl have their own troubles now and busy with their own stuff. Nothing much really. Just that have quite a few things on hand now you see. But alrites, it's still do-able. Nothing too stressful for now. Yeah, for now.
2ml suppose to be CNY celebrations and after that we are suppose to watch the play of Thurandot at LT4 2ml. yeah. after that i really have no idea where to go or what-so-ever. depends. see how things goes, might join my class or sth after that if they are still around that is. hehs.
Life goes on anyways...even though it seem endless sometimes i suppose...
how random...

How much control do you have over happiness?
Honestly, how much control do we have? just answer to yourself quietly.
So that way, you won't lie. You won't fight. Just ask yourself,
When was the last time you were angry?
When was the last time you were sad?
When was the last time you feel left out or sad?
When was the last time you were disappointed?
Sometimes things that can make you happy, simply is not within your control. Things that you know you yourself cannot do it. As it may lead to many other complications and misunderstanding. It's not worth creating so much trouble at the expense of others simply for your own happiness i suppose? =)

A rest day gone.
Today's suppose to be my only rest day from school but it seem to end so fast...
Really, very fast.
And i'm still tired. haha. Br's at my house now watching soccer... Liverpool VS Man U. I am being mean now in my room. haha. No la, cause i need to do some stuff. Thus, here. Then since i'm here. Might as well blog abit. Yes, i do try to make an effort to blog as consistantly as possible. Although some days i really cannot come online or whatever stuff. Yeah. i also don't know if anyone cares if someone blog one day less anyways.
Feel rather tired now. Since it's nearing one and considering the fact that i have school tomorrow. I have no idea what's tomorrow's time table going to be like since i'm not in school on friday. Hopefully my time table ends early everyday ! haha. But i don't like those zero periods where we must wait till like 430 for class contacts. can't go home early. *sigh*
hopefully PE tomorrow will be a normal one. lessons don be too heavy also. am i asking too much? haha i think so. What a dumb ass i'm.
don't you sometimes feel that blogging is pointless? whats really the point of blogging? it's not an open avenue you see. It's on the net, anyone can sue you for whatever you write... Why don't people just keep a diary. Or is it suppose to be fun for others to read about you and your daily life? ... isn't that abit bian tai... pardon me. Shallow martin.

Stop asking, i don't have the answer... or more like i don't wish to
Mmm, finally, it's the day where i reach home where the sky still has sunlight on. Hehs, but then again, i shall not complain too much. There are worst.
Alrights, i got my posting of class. Dear Martin here is currently in the class of 1AA2 consisting of only one of my OG groupies. But then again i guess it should be really ok. =) It's always good to know more peeps yeah ? hehs.
Oh, ya, i got the fun-o-rama tixs, so anyone who's interested or wana buy or whatever. Please sms me or drop me a message somewhere somehow ya? They are at $10 each with many many other discount coupons and stuff for numerous shops. So on and ya... enough of that what-so-ever.
There's this particular question. That sometimes people will ask you in casual conversation, especially amongs people who do not know you as well last time or never really go into that topic. I always feel extremely reluctant to give any answer cause i simply do not know how to. If anyone has any idea of the question i'm asking. Fine, good for you but i doubt anyone or mostly knows. If you don't don bug me about it. It's just sometimes certain question for certain people are just more, sensitive? Or should I say, it's one of those that i'll tend to want to escape and advoid. Dwelling is bad for health you know. *grins*
Sometimes it's really strange how far can one button away be ya? =)

As time goes on...
As time goes on, people ages.
As time goes on, things changes.
As time goes on, habits altered.
As time goes on, rain and shine come and go.
As time goes on, people move on.
As time goes on, friendship made and lost.
As time goes on, love created and faded.
As time goes on, things are remembered and forgotten.
As time goes on, progresses are made.
As time goes on, opportunity came and gone.
As time goes on...
We never know...
So just smile on and live life.
Sometimes we can't control everything we want.
We won't know everything we want to nor get things we really want.
So why ponder so much always? =)

Back after short com break..
Yes, had been busy in school and stuff this week. Intro lectures and so on. Also with band pracs and meetings and stuff. So on and on and on. Today's a Saturday meaning that i had band as usual and stuff. Meaning i need to wake up early. *sigh*
Alrights, Recently just ended the long week of intro lectures and stuff. So meaning also that my OG days are numered. Had an outing with them at Marche on friday night after my little visit back to secondary school and stuff. It was kinda fun. =) I must admit at the end of the day my OG's kinda fun la. No doubt. Guess people will miss the times we had. So leave it as that for my little OG.
Then there was like numerous boring and interesting lectures here and there. Days of trying to hide from teachers, er... hehs. Okaes, a random thought. Think i should cut my hair. It's getting irritating especially at the end of the day. Makes me look like someone that just escaped from the mental institute or something.
Today was kinda okae. After band went to holland to eat dinner with my section and nabi. Then met a few others at crystal jade till like, er, 1045? yeah. Phew. Then took a train home and somehow i bump into mother! As in not my mother but mother! Elisabeth i mean. So went home with her. Not her house, she stays near you see. Yeah. Then met peier to pass her some stuff. At like 11? Actually i'm kinda guilty la. Make her come out so late. =X Oops. IF your reading sorry. *Grins*. And thanks by the way, how nice. =)
Ok, so i'm off tomorrow. No school no nothing. I think tomorrow won't be enough for a break but at least i get one. I know there are others who are like totally drown. Always be thankful and do not expect too much. And i always believe nothing much in this world really ends off nicely and be the so-called beautiful endings. Even good things might not have a good ending. Right? same to me...

It's cold
I'm sure by now everyone noticed the non-stop raining season in Singapore. I wonder if we are going to be flooded soon considering the fact that WE are surrounded by all water. -.- hehs. When your stonning infront of your com, stupid things as such comes to my tiny little watery brain. (I'm sure many would agree with that sentence.)
Alrights, there's nothing much today i suppose. Had school, which ended early today. But had sectionals which ended around 5. So not much of a diff. Still reach home in time for dinner though! =D Er, actually i set the dinner time so i'm always in time. Cause dinner's only me. *GRins* Na, i'm used to that for quite some time already i guess. They say it's bad for health, but i think it's kinda good at times to have your own time. *Silent Brain Reading Session*
Sectionals was alright. Dinner was kinda bad. Tasted bad and was kinda small in portion. No, it's not that i am really a pig but really, it's damn small! No kidding! That reminds me that we have band tomorrow too. Combine though, but then again i think in JC doesn't really matter, still won't go home early at the end of the day.
Hmm, i'm still very cold. The weather. Is it me or is the weather really very cold these days. Makes me wonder. Really, especially hands and legs. BRRRR. Rain Rain Rain... Look at the rain drops falling down slowly... It's nice only if your at home. Good to sleep what!!!

An early today.
Wonder why? yeah, i'm STILL tired. DAmn, wonder why. Another stupid long day. Waked up early today again. Only had sunday to rest which didn't really turn out as a rest. Still slept late in the end and have to wake up early today. I'm now so tempted to sleep like now? my eyes are simply shutting and i don't really have a choice. But sleeping now seem so wasteful as i do not have much days left where i can simply sleep very late. But then again...
Yes, had school today as the introductory lectures began. It was kinda ok at first but it got boring and sleepy as in goes on. They are all the same!!! What's the point?... It's just like instead of Maths they change it to Physics or Chemistry and goes through all the syllabus and stuff. Whatever. They kept making JC life seem like hell. Why bother, i don't get it. For some stupid paper that might not even ensure a good life. Dumb. Who am i to comment on that as i myself is also doing it. Yes, dumb me.
When Queensway to get some stuff with darren, gary and bize later that day. Saw sherri-ann, jeraldine and hui zhen there. Buying stuff too. Very nice meh there? =s *wonders*. Thought of taking 198 back but was tired and the trip's long. So MRT instead. At least tomorrow's a holiday. Means i can sleep well tomorrow. But gary wants breakfast... NO! I REFUSE. Don't deprive me of my sleep. *GRINS*. sleeping is important and nice but it's kinda waste of time. hehs. if you get me that is. I know minghua don't agree, fine.
It's ok, Os will be out soon i suppose. Then As will soon be around the corner. Life sometimes move seemingly fast don't you agree. Somethings cannot be missed, Do it now or else it will never happen. Don't dwell behind too much i suppose, no one's gonna blame you at the end of the day when you die.

Extremes
Sometimes when you hope for a sign or something would happen as an indication for some things and when it happened, it may not really be great or good. It may simply just lead to result of the extreme ends. Something that will leave in confuse in the middle wondering what's really the answer. But sometimes on your part, you may do something unknowingly which leads you others. How do you amend it then? Pain. *sigh*
Anyways. HA, orientation's OVER. O-V-E-N, er, sorry, R. O-V-E-R. Ended with mud all over for most. Smart Martin manage to escape that terrible smelly ending. Actually no, cause my OG did dancing-.- (why smelly? cause there's dung in the mud, sorry for those who rolled happily in it.)
That brings us to the fact that lectures gona start soon. Argh, and nvm, i heard the release of Os is coming early this year. Meaning that we will all start school early... Wonder if it's good or bad. hehs.
Then came sat, where i had band prac. Was kinda ok, seems that most J1s still went and NOT look tired!?!?! Maybe i am too burnt. As in not physically. Shall not dwell into that, people who know will know. If you wanna know, then know me, don't ask me.
My days are starting to be in repetitive mode again. What can i say. Many things i used to do or love doing could not be done somehow anymore. Saddening. I'm afraid of losing. But then i'm confuse. The week seemed long and so many had happened. I'm afraid. Maybe plus alittle sad. Tired? perheps. I need to recharge myself. Not by holidays. I don't know how. I need... .... how?...

ACJC orientation: Day 1 till now
Alrights, had been away lately due to ACJC orientation that ends 6 everyday. Kinda tiring you see. Games, rallies, screams, runs, walks, dances( ??? ) etc. The day's long i guess, even though the activities are kinda ok. I still have 2 more days to go from now. And i think the last day gona end like damn late? *faints*.
Games were usually dirty, flying papaya, raining starch all over. Poor mum's gona wash my clothes... =X hehs. i m a bad boy.
Been tired lately(Yes! i remembered the "d" in tired.BE PROUD), cause i refuse to sleep cause i still haven't finish reading my book. Argh. READ READ READ, Thus, my blog entries are getting shorter and rushing through even faster. More or less days are the same for now till friday. However still have quite abit of unsettled business. Worries on, but alrights i hope...

Rush rush rush...
Ok, 1stly, i just came back from Chinatown. A last minute plan to meet my parents up there for dinner. Was suppose to get something also but didn't. Couldn't really find what i wanted. But the sales assistant was kinda cute though. *Grins*. hehs, but no la, shes way off too old. JK -.-ha, she was just helpful, thats all.
See, i am so bored till an extend that i'm even typing this down, i must be mad. Anyways, from the title, you can tell that i'm actually rushing through this entry cause it's getting late and there's school for me tomorrow. Ah, means i have to wake up at around like 0530???!!! *sigh* back to the normal go-to-school-and-wake-up-early-and-sleep-not-so-late routine. That's my life people. Now you know what i like black and white. Not it actually.
Okaes, in case your wondering where were I before that, i was at Westmall coffee bean. Nothing much. Where was i before that? I was at home. Where was i before that? I was on my bed... Alrights, enough.
SCHOOL....

New Year...2006, 365 days more to 2007
Today's 1/1/2006. Gone were the days of good old 2005. Went for fireworking viewing yesterday night at esplanade. The fireworks were wonderful. Beautiful. As they go off one by one, kinda reminds me of the end of the 2005. That tiny sense of sadness that lingers around in you yeah?
Was with gary,darren and yingtong yesterday. Walked around, went marina bay for dinner. Witness a few steamboat going on fire. Kinda cool. I know la, i abit mountain tortoise, never eat there before. LAUGH! go on! i'm fine. hehs.
Alrights, SO after fireworks and everything, the MASS of people at marina was terrible. HUGE crowd. So we decided to take a bus (NR5) home. We boarded at 1230,
jam
jam
jam
...
finally i reach home around 3? lol. yeah, a damn long ride, most people on it were falling asleep even standing.(luckily we got seats)
So with the new year now, reminds me of school is going to start like another day more? Tomorrow's last day of Holidays. ARGH. hehs. Means no more late nights and no more late mornings. *sad*. It's ok, i shall be less pig and sleep less. Will be fine, i suppose.
Off to read my book again.Thats kinda the reason why i blogged early today on 1/1/06 =)
