My soul resonates with the music.
As I stepped into Singapore Conference Hall, I can't help but to recollect the memories many years back then. It's 2 am now and my brain is really tired from the long day out but I felt really happy today. I couldn't describe the feeling but coming together with the band people makes me feel really warm. As I was immersed in the music, I began thinking about my life back in NJ. I recalled the first time I stepped into the band room and how Mr Ho wrote my chinese name on the white board. haha. anyway, it's the 10th year since I know quiny & the 6th since I know jh and all.
I am thankful to this group of friends who stayed with me through thick and thin and I certainly do value these people very much. Realized that I haven't made much friends in NTU and that is really quite sad. Alright! it's time for bed. good night guys!

Simplicity is bliss
I almost forgot how simplicity can make one happier with life. Been busy meeting up with everyone and I haven't quite found the time for myself, not yet.
yesterday was a bad day for me but I am glad that it's over. Went to brainwaves for the last time and it struck me that I have taught there for 1 year! Even though the pay is pretty pathetic considering the amount of effort you need to put in, I guessed that I have seen the other side of life. These kids are just so different from the premium school kids. Sometimes, I felt that I am learning from them more than they are learning from me. o well, everything has an end I guess.
next up, I met twl, wx, moses & phoebe for dinner tonight. The meet ups with them never fail to make me take a step back in life and appreciate what life has given me. If one ever asks me what's the greatest thing that NTU has given me for the past 3 years, I could proudly proclaim that it is these friendships that I have made and witnessed that made a difference to my life. Staring blankly at Moses & Phoebe really makes understand that material aspects of living is always secondary in life. They are always there look out for each other and every small little gesture that they make always illustrate how they are caring for each other at every single moment. Indeed, I am always awed by their attitude towards life and selfless nature. I am glad to have met them.
Maybe it's time to reflect on the type of life I desire.
