I am so into YOU

Love, without the fear of losing?

2009-05-06T12:56:00.000-07:00

Just watched "Love of Siam", a thai film about 2 boys whose love for each other goes beyond brotherly love. Now, there was a part where the main actor said that his greatest fear is loneliness. Because, when you don't have someone, you feel so lonely. But yet even when you have someone, the fear of losing him/her, makes you feel lonely as well.

He went on to say, can you love someone, without the fear of losing him/her?

Can you?

Sinema @ Old School

2009-05-03T09:40:00.000-07:00

Was introduced to this fantastic place by my brother John and went there on Sat afternoon. It was also surprising to see Kate there.

Now, introducing Sinema @ Old School. It's a cinema that shows local films ONLY. Now many of you might think "Jack Neo", but I beg you to read on.

It is a cosy place to showcase our country's own film and a channel to inspire young people like us to broadcast our films. I may not be a film maker (I leave this to my dear frens from New Media and etc,) but John and I are big supporters of the local scene

The film that I watched was 'Lucky 7', a film made by 7 different producers who each produced 10 - 12 min of film. Each film maker continues the next segment having only watch the last min of what the previous film maker made.

A daring move i would say. And, if you were to patronise this place, please, do not go with the expectation of a Jerry Bruckheimer or Tsui Hark movie, but rather, go with an open mind to have a taste of nice local flavour.

Will go there again.

Old Customs vs New Blood

2009-04-20T20:05:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to rant about a few things

Change of AWARE leadership

AWARE ( Association of Women And Research ) has a new President and Exco on March 28. This move prompted fury of critics, not from the public, but from old and veteran members.

It seems like these veterans are not receptive to changes and are looking to have a vote of No-Confidence next month.

AWARE is a non profitable voluntary group. Not a listed company. Not even a SME. Its purpose is to serve the calls of woman in Singapore. But yet, I feel, the whole leadership change has been a victim of internal politics and ,of cos, media exaggeration.

Every reign will have an end. The old guard's time have ended. Why not give the fresh blood a chance? Why give them so much trouble? It was known that the new President even risked her job with DBS to take up this role. Why more must she do to convince the old guard? And why make her job so difficult?

It goes the same for any organization. Every President sort of faces problems, managing the present and old members of the organization. I really empathize with Ms Lau as she tries to convince the veterans. Are we too caught up with old traditions or even stupid customs to listen to the older ones just because they have "been there done that?" I feel this incident certainly reflects the behavior of our society, that it is still not willing to let young fresh blood take the front.

Sad.

Aware chief answers critics

Ironic

2009-04-08T09:54:00.001-07:00

It is ironic that I was just talking about not letting the things I have to do stop me from loving someone.

Had quite a handful to do tonight actually but had an opportunity to spend quality time with baby and I chose it. I was glad to have baby watch movie and shop with me. Really enjoyed her company a lot, although she was too caught up smsing at times.

Watched the movie "Confessions of a shopaholic"

There's quite a lot to take away from this show, especially on managing one's finance, friendship and love. 3 stars out of 5 for me. Worth the watch on a weekday!

A few shows that are coming up interests me a lot, especially Knowing and Friday the 13th. It does not help that exams is just round the corner.

"Never let something to be done be more important than someone to be loved."

2009-04-08T02:31:00.000-07:00

As I am now waiting for baby to finish her project, I begin to ponder over the things my bro says.

My bro is a great man. Everyday he strives to make someone smile or happy. That is his objective in life. Unlike most of us, who chases after the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

"Never let something to be done be more important than someone to be loved."

Everyday, there is so much work to be done, be it work or school. How many of us are guilty of spending more time burying our heads in the piles of files or notes?

Is academic excellence or career satisfaction so much more intriguing than your loved ones?

How about taking a break from your books and pens and have a small talk with someone close to you. Your mum, your bf/gf, your siblings or even your pet dog.

Work is work. But nothing is greater than the love of mankind.

Go on, hug the person you love now.

2009-04-01T13:27:00.000-07:00

2009-03-30T22:21:00.000-07:00

Was thinking about what happened yesterday on the road and suddenly everything just blanked....

The next thing I know, I am fast approaching a kerb near NUH

My heart in my mouth as i braked hard

Fish tailed

But remained in control

There's a price to pay for my carelessness.

A long scratch on the bottom left of my fairing, destroying the word Yamaha

Perhaps a good reminder for me.

2009-03-30T09:27:00.001-07:00

I just hope you'll be happy everyday.

2009-01-18T14:23:00.000-08:00

6.23am. Here I am, sipping my coffee and waking up to the morning express....

5 more months and I will be graduating and looking for a job. The bleak market and the slow economy will make it tough. Real tough. Job hunting starts in February for me. Starting from the career fair...

Time passes real quickly. Weekends are what I look forward to each time Monday starts. It's really not easy for a couple when one is studying and the other, working. But like what FD says, making a relationship works requires hard work. And the more you work at it, the better it gets. I begin to find myself enjoying the reading times in the evening and the morning breeze. Soon, the internship will end, but the waiting and the breakfast never cease.

Chinese New Year is coming. I never really felt the excitement of CNY all through my 23 years of my life. But I enjoyed the shopping for clothes this year as I never have the habit of buying clothes for myself. Pampered myself with a TopShop shirt.

And the Morning Express is still my favourite in the morning. Totally random. haha.

Go Glenn!

"we will fight to the death" link

These are words coming out from the mouths of the patriotic Thais' who have taken control of 2 major airports in Bangkok.

Rash? Maybe.

Crazy? Absolutely not.

The Thais have great affection for their country and for their King.

So much so they can leave everything and protest against their government.

In an interview a few months back, a teacher was demostrating in Bangkok when the reporter asked her about her job.

"My job is not important. My country is most important now."

A simple sentence. But yet it can put Singaporeans to shame.

It is really heart warming to see how much the Thais can do for their country.

Can we do the same for our country here?

Will we fight to our death for this country that has provided so much stability and security for us?

When crisis comes, will you put on that uniform of yours and draw weapons ready for battle?

I will. How about you.

2008-11-28T18:08:00.000-08:00

Why.

Why her?

I can't help but be in the shoes of Mr Puhaindran, whose wife, Lo Hwei Yen, was taken hostage in Mumbai and subsequently killed.

Wrong place, wrong time?

Maybe.

28 years old. Lawyer. Just married in June.

Life had just began for Ms Lo. But yet, on a one night trip to Mumbai.

Just one night.

Tragedy struck.

I am lucky to have my loved ones around me everyday.

My parents, siblings, grandpa, friends, Bro and of cos, Char.

But I can't help but be affected by our country's loss of a promising talent.

What is the world coming to.

S'pore hostage killed

2008-11-27T07:44:00.000-08:00

Finished 3 papers.

Can't wait for the days that we had planned for.

Char bought for me a new bottle.

Can't wait to blog about it when I got the pic for her.

For now, I'm looking forward to Tues 7pm.

Salted Popcorn.....HERE I COME!

You listened when I need someone to talk to.

You understand when things got tough for me.

You 往前走 with me regardless of what had happened.

You are part of my life now.

Thanks for believing in me.

Woke up with a weird feeling.

An "oh my god" feeling.

A sweet and sour feeling.

A feeling of wanting to see her.

Wanting to hear from her.

Wanting to be with her.

The world seems so beautiful and I am sure it will be from now on.

Drifting away again.......

2008-11-19T18:51:00.000-08:00

21hrs. I will always remember this 21hrs.

From the moment I picked you up.

Enjoying the sun along CTE.

Braving the rain.

Making you the co-owner.

Walking and talking.

Stopped by Prudentials staffs.

Having our long awaited satay.

Braving the rain again.

Laugh about oh my god queen.

Seeing you feeling pressured.

Bringing a tired Charlyn home.

All in 21hrs.

This is, was, and always will be a wonderful day in my life. 19th Nov.

2008-11-18T18:22:00.000-08:00

Wake up. Wake her up too.

Eat my breakfast. Thinking of what's she having.

Reading my notes. Wondering how is she memorizing hers.

Ride my bike. Thinking of "rainy day".

Teach tuition. Imagining how much she wanted to see me teach.

See my whiteboard. Half of it are her stuffs.

Study hard. Cos she loves to see me do maths.

Sleep. Ending the day with our end of day call.

This is life.

หงเวย์คิดถึงฉัร์ลิ่นขณะที่ผมลาเธอ...

2008-11-17T23:30:00.001-08:00

Nowadays, I wake up every morning with a meaning. A purpose. A motivation.

The sky so blue. The clouds so nice. The sun so bright. Everything is really worth living for now.

Reminding myself..of the things I promise myself..Never to make the same mistake and never to go down that road again.

Never.
