Yer remembered, not forgotten

And now the question turns to why,
We all say with a heavy sigh,
Why did you have to go,
No one will ever know.

It takes time to get over things.

Something to remember

My dearest bro,
I'm sorry you won't see him grow,
I know yer dreams,
Now not achievable by any means.

I'm so sorry that you had to go,
We're all right now feeling low,
But as times passes we'll remember you for who you are,
You who reside above not so far.

Thank you for everything.
It just hurts to know that today is father's day and you never got to celebrate it even once. But know that he loves you and I'll make sure he remembers and knows who you are. Its a silent promise that I h\made to myself while you were still around and now that yer gone its my mission to achieve it and to make sure that I fulfill it.

In memory of a friend

You will always be remembered.

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself tryna stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me when I feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Hallowe'en with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once in a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
Anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find you have somethin' to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For while you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you'll can sing it...

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...

Thank you for who you are. God bless.

One Year

06|06|06
My blog is one year old today. =)) Haha, 1 year on and more than 365 posts already. I must be mad or something to blog so much eh? Yer probably wondering what the hell is wrong with me... I can't blame you. Lol. lets leave it at life is complicated and I used to like writing. Okay, so maybe I still do, but not for, nevermind... Those who know me know what I am talking about. No offence to anyone, no hard feelings aight?! I am so totally crapping now.

Today is Coldplay day. What can I do...? Its day 2 of holiday week 1 and, hmmmm, running out of things to do. I wish DMA would come online so we can do our assignment. But Mr. Loh said that there's something wrong with the system. Heh. Come on, let's get CONB over with people. Getting back to Coldplay.... Their songs are rather nice, I like the alternative music of theirs.

But their songs can be rather saddish. Heh. I have a knack for creating new words eh? Can that be counted as creativity? Why do I always go so off tangent??? Anyway, Coldplay. Trouble is a nice song. Get it if you can. And a BIG THANK YOU to Cawo for showing me this song. Its slow, the vocals are great and the music superb. You can close yer eyes, listen and feel moved. Its music like this that reminds me of those scenes in movies where the character is sitting on a bus, starring out at the scenery and feeling emo about the stuff that they've just left behind them. Hahahaha.

Its also songs like these that make me feel like going away on a long trip somewhere. Which brings me to the question... Why am I hoarding my money in the bank? What's the purpose of that. I seem to have lost sight of that purpose... And I'm trying to figure out what to do with it... Yeah, travel maybe. I dunno. That whole travel thing is very up-in-the-air. I was just talking about this with Mesh the other day. Should I treat my friends? Travel? Cruise? What to do with it, I dunno. Maybe I shouldn't be thinking about this now even.... Some people would kill me when they find out how much money I have stashed away.

But yeah, what do you do with money??? Heck, I don't even know what I want, let alone have money that can be spent... Someone give me some idea.

As you can see, today seems like a rather mad day eh? And no, I have not taken cough medicine nor drugs nor alcohol. Its just that my thoughts are a whole jumble of stuff today. Bah. =P

Holidays are supposed to be fun

But, they're so bleah... I went out with Jo and Alvin tonight and we ate dinner together. But what else have I got to do? Nothing much if you'd ask me. I don't want to go to that Bukit Tinggi whatever it is but I am forced to since my family wants a holiday and doesn't give a damn if I want to go to that boring hell hole or not and says I am not part of the family anymore and I don't do things for them and I don't participate or whatever the hell.... Fine, just say I don't appreciate anyone and get it and over and done with. What the hell?

I don't mind just going to KL and staying in gran's house but no. We MUST go somewhere and do things as a family. Then why the heck did you jetset to Aussie last year and leave me behind if you want to spend time together as a family. I don't get the logic here. It don't make sense. What is said and what is done are always two very different things. Why is it that during holidays there's always this row? I know, I'm being unrealistic now typing this but every once in awhile we need an outlet like this.

My holidays are pathetic. I don't do much, I stay home and use my allowance to pay my transport and my phone bills, nothing gets saved and it all gets USED. I'm not even allowed the com 24 hours. Only like from the moment yer up till 11pm. Oh what the hell.... The holidays are not fun. I'd rather be back in school. Yet I know I need this break to get away from all this competitiveness and whatsoeverness even if there is no such word. Ok. Fine. So what to do next? Blame the country? Why are you too small? Why is there nothing fun to do?

And then? Blame the friends? Why is it so hard to organise a get-together? Why do the timings conflict? Why do you tell me yer free on these days, only to tell me I want to reserve this day for packing and I have to see if I am free on this day. Bah. As you can see, I am not in a good mood at the moment. Let me go watch TV till late in the night. May the holidays go by as quickly as possible for me while it drags on for others to enjoy. I don't like holidays, neither do I hate them. Its a love-hate relationship. Goodnight.

ARTStravanganza

Okay, another whirlwind entry on updating about the days. My life is busy eh?

Thursday. IHRP (Ih-reap), DMA, LSC. I handed in DMA, nice. LSC was hillarious as usual. Some presentations during IHRP were nice and cute (the one with Mr. Muthu). Anyway, Mozzie's group, dunno what the heck they were presenting on really. No reference to case studies whatsoever. And with a voice like the Mozzie-voice, how could we hear an explanation?

Went out with Phyllis and Shawn later, after LSC finished. Nice hair cuts guys! =) And many thanks again for waiting for me to arrive after class. Went to watch my first NC16 movie! Yeehaw! You guessed it, Da Vinci. I can see why the Catholic church is against the movie after watching it. It IS rather blasphemous. We had a good conversation about the movie afterward, about why its purely fiction and not fact. It caaried on to today, Friday, when I talked to Carol about it.

If there was a gospel of Philip and a gospel of Mary Magadlene, why don't we all have gospels since it is our own interpretation of God? Get the logic? But I will not devel into the arguments on the Da Vinci code at the moment. Its fiction get it, movie, hollywood. Digressing already eh?

We stopped by Subway on the way out of Cine. Shawn bougth 3 brownies, meaning for each of us to have one. Unfortunately, I didn't know he did that for us and bought one for myself. Goodness, tell me next time dude. I really appreciate the thought though. Camwhored at Somerset awhile before Shawn left for the NEL route while Phyllis and I continued to green line.

Friday. I skipped DMA today since I had finished my CA and handed it in last lesson. I skipped a lesson! Attendance count...
FW - 100%
CONB - 100%
MMR - 100%
OM - 100%
DMA - 1 lesson skipped
LSC - 100%
IHRP - 100%
HFTV - 100%

Not bad. Went out with Jo and Alvin today. Ate laksa, then went to Coffee Bean at Holland Village. We had an ice blended Belgium chocolate coffee. Then we went to Swensen's to eat ice-cream. Alvin & I settled for the unlimited scoops of ice-cream with the main course. Falvours? Mocha almond, Sticky Chewy Chocolate, Chocolate Malt. Yummy! I loved the Chocolate Malt.

Slept at the main library, went to wait for Yessie to arrive before going to ARTStravaganza. Ghim Moh's one and only concert in its entire history. For a first time? I give the school a standing ovation. High marks for effort definitely. At the end, found Da Jie and spent some time with her and Yessie. Pity Ah Pa and Ah Ma were not there.

Met Willie again after so long. And Chin Weng (thanks for helping take photos) and Zhi Xiang and Kenneth and a whole host of others. Cam whored with the teachers and had some time to chat with them. I wanted to chat more but they're busy with Guest(s) of Honour and logistical stuff. So, teacher hunting. Let's see how well I did at my quest.

1) Ms Lynne Chin
2) Mr Chelva Rajah
3) Mrs Chow Bee Lian
4) Mrs Leong Yam Hoon
5) Mr Roy Chua
6) Mr Tan Tiong Chuan
7) Mr Chew Yiu Chee
8) Mrs Farahain Aidil
9) Mr Abdul Aziz
10) Mrs Yong Laik Check

I'd say quest succeeded. Only 2 teachers whom I did not get to take a photo with or of.
