RECEIVED MY PINK IC TODAY!!!
I tremble while preparing myself to go camp in the morning. Finally this day has arrived. Was looking forward to this day for the past 2 years. Its not an easy journey and not really meaningful, but i saw and learnt a few things along the way. I saw how passion is really important to workers, without it employees will all be inefficient and lack of drive to do well.
I really wanna thank all people who walked this through with me. My family, especially my dad who without fail see me off to tekong every week for the first 2 months and being so eversupportive. I guess he is the only one in the family who truly knows whats happening inside. I hope i will be like this to my son in the future. thanks dad. To my great grandma, who i first looked for when returning home from book out during tekong days. guess she is real happy to see me go through this stage of life. and of course, my baby. Without her my mental sufferings of being in camp will have nowhere to be expressed. she stuck with me through all these and said positive comments that affected my thinking. thank u baby. and to all my friends thank u all for lighting up my dull life. without u guys' laughter i think i will be damn depressed to suffer this 2 years of crap.
These 2 years i have lost a lot. Whenever my friends are out having fun and i cannot attend i always felt that its my lost. Its my youth and i should be out there, especially when i have nothing to do in camp. it just doesnt make any sense.
of course there will be positive things that happened this 2 years. i am lucky to be able to visit aussie. its not really a tour package but at least i am able to experience it when i am sensible and know what i like. met friends that i can relate to and who knows, might be helpful to me in the future. Hope we will remain in contact.
Tomorrow starts a new beginning. something that i can find value in and will really develop myself further. Hope everything turns out well and my life goes on now.

Happy Birthday To Me

Sooo now that I'm 21...
wow i'm already 21! 21 marks the start of adulthood, but i will not forget who in all these years helped me to be a better guy. all the laughter and life lessons that i experienced. from primary school with the gang of boys chasing little girls around in school and playing soccer with almost anything that can be kicked to secondary school with my school mates and simei basketball court days. from my hectic but so enjoyable jc life to my wat-the-heck army days. so many people had came and go. just let u all know, if anyone is reading which i really doubt so, that i really appreciate everything that all of u have done for me and time spent hanging out. its been a smooth journey i would say, cos looking back everything seems a little easier. for those who remained contact with me till today i hope that we can be in contact for a very long time to come. for those who i had offended i'm truly sorry and i would never hurt anyone deliberately, not in the past, not in the future. i'm looking forward to future chapters of life and hope that it will be smooth sailing too.
life ain't easy, but this makes living much more worth it
and of course, 21 years ago, my mum suffered pain to bring me into this world, brought me up into who i am now. not that i had already achieved anything great yet but at least my parents brought me up well. thank you family for nurturing me, protecting me, understanding me and let me live my life with lots of trust that i will take care of myself. i will not abuse this kind of freedom and will be a good boy haha.
And to a special someone who has been my best friend, my family and my life teacher. Great Grandma I will never forget anything that you had thought me and all the virtues of your personality. All the sacrifices you made so that you can take care of my family. You are truly a selfless, perfect woman. I hope that in the future I can be as good a Grandpa, talking to my grandson till he falls asleep and wake up the next day with everything taken care of. I really appreciate you being a part of my life and me. Thank you, a lot. We all are missing you.

My Great Grandma
Sunday, October 14, 2007
I have a great grandma living in Simei ever since my family moved in. She was so noble and took care of all of my siblings and I unconditionally. She even gave up her job to take care of us 24/7. Every morning she will be the first to wake up, and filll the house with warmth. When we woke up, she will be worrying about our meals more than we do. She is always thinking of our well being all the time. She was so kind and sweet. The day before yesterday, I went back to Simei for the first time since a month ago. It was her birthday just few days ago, but I only knew it when my grandma told me, which was a day after her birthday. Once I stepped into the house, I looked for her immediately. It was so long since I last stepped into the house looking for her. We always thought that she is too busy-body when she asked repeated questions that we teenagers do not like. We often neglect her. The moment I saw her, I grabbed her hand and wished her happy birthday for maybe the 90th time, deep from my heart. I wanted to give her a kiss, but I became a traditional asian. So I saw her ever glowing smile and she humble-ly said it was over and there is no need for that, although from her smile I can see that she was over the moon, that people still remember her birthday. When I took a closer look at her face, I can see that she is ageing, week by week, and anything may happen to an elderly who no longer have much strength to walk and have to travel by wheelchair. My heart felt the pain. I want to let her know that I loved her and am very thankful for all the things that she had done not only for me, but for the whole family, past-present-future. I have nothing for her birthday,but if she understands english and know how to use the internet, I will show this entry to her, and let her know that she is still very loved by the family. All the childhood memories that she gave me, I will never forget. I want to be filial to her and make her happy in her last parts of her life. I want her to attend my graduation, marriage, and take care of my children. I want her to be loved. Great Grandma, we love you.
