My Mum - A Parsimonious Person

Hell, my mum just scolded me for drinking a bottle of mineral water at home... What kind of thing is that?! I mean, ain't bottles of water for people to drink? So what's the problem about me drinking water like other people? 'Bottled water is for you to drink outside', my ass! As if there's a problem drink it 'inside'.

Back from HK, Demoralized

Well, i guess im back. Had a few days in school for an SJAB camp, went through complete madness, hellish trainings and MEDs (Mass Evacuation Drills, which is basically about waking up in the middle of the night and running around the school to find people to save), and here i am back home, all alone. It's a real mess here, my clothes strewn all over the floor, discarded trash and all. I bet my room stinks as well.
Anyway, i gotta apologize to all my friends, especially Ryan, who waited for me to visit them back in DBS. Sorry. I just couldn't find the time to see you guys off for the exams, and when i did manage to spare some time to do so, i found out that i had to get back to Singapore early, in fact, much earlier. Real sorry, and i promise that i'll see you guys a couple months later.

Hellish Holiday

Though i thought i could really enjoy this mid-year holiday, i am proved wrong. Assignments upon heaps of assignments i have to complete are not even half completed, projects are not even touched upon. And i still gotta fret about whether my group mates did their part or not... So i just get to say that the holiday ended up unprecedented. I still haven't had the time to go to DBS, but i should be able to free up tomorrow and find a time to do it. Hopefully.

Maplestory Indulgence

Just started playing maplestory again... And was completely stumped by the new features and events. The same applies to Hong Kong. Even though I wasn't in HK for barely 3 months, there were ginormous differences between how HK used to look like and how it is now. Or it could have probably been my problem only though- just by looking at my homeland in a different perspective and viewpoint gives me a varied impression.
But several things still remained the same. My friends were still there to phone me up, my home was still pretty much as messy as before and my room still a 'war-torn' place. Gives me a sense of familiarity, which i extremely welcomed.

Life Riddles

The day has finally arrived. Yeah! The past two days passed at a snail's pace... Anyway, while I was contemplating on what to do once i returned HK, I received a email from one of my best friends, whose identity i shall not reveal. But the main thing is that he had a dilemma- His mum was about to lose his job. And to add on to it, his dad isn't with him anymore. It's a catastrophe for him to know that his mum is about to lose her job, and he was really dispirited when he wrote the email to me.
I didn't really know what to say to him, I could not think of any words of consolation. It was, after all, the first time for me to have to condole someone in such a situation. So i just wrote up a email, trying my best not to sound funny.
Life is really a thing which we humans could not manipulate so that it would move the way we wish it to. It frequently devastates you, leaving you distraught and hysterical; it rarely gives you pleasure. But the irony is, we cannot not have it. It's something everyone struggles to preserve, and protect. So while those of us who are enjoying our lives, let's think of others who are in Catch-22, those who are handicapped, those who are less fortunate than us. Let's reminisce the days we enjoyed, and face up to the challenges hurtling towards us.

SJAB Slackers

Ever since joining SJAB (St. Johns Ambulance Brigade), there's one thing i've noticed- Those guys are complete SLACKERS. They even admitted it themselves! But anyway, once they get down to work, they can be serious enough, at least to complete whatever they were assigned to do.
A couple of things which are kind of interesting in SJAB is that they would teach us on the application of First Aid and foot drills (even though it's kind of tedious and all, but anyway...). What is most depressing once i joined SJAB is to know that i'm on the same rank as the sec 1s! Hell! Imagine training with people two years younger than you... And i got influenced by the 'slack' atmosphere. So here i am, a fresh SJAB slacker.

Second Blog in my life

Well, this is around the second time i've tried using blogs, basically because I have never understood the use of doing it... But I suppose it's some sort of activity to pass off time, so here I am. Just got through my mid-year examinations and my brain is just hanging on a thread of consciousness, so please bear with me if I blabber or something. Doing OK in Singapore, gotten acclimated to the humid, sweltering hot environment here, getting along well with school (at least i think so) and my classmates, so i suppose i'm a 'true' Singaporean citizen right now. One thing which I've noted over here is that there are Singaporeans who really despise Hong Kong people, though i haven't figured out why they did so and when they started doing so. But anyway, thanks to my not-so-hongkong accent, i get to just pass off as a 'normal' person and not get ostracized. And yes, one more thing, is that i'll be back in HK this Sunday (please refer to the blog date), so i'll probably meet up with a couple of friends. Mmmm... Wonder if they would like to go for movies?
