Sometimes, people just don't treasure the way they used to.
Sometimes, people just forget who are they themselves.
Sometimes, people just forget to appreciate the things around them.
Sometimes, people just don't know what's good for them.
Sometimes, people just think everyone else owes them something.
Sometimes, you just don't feel like people are your friends.

Time
"Time and tide waits for no man"
Ever heard of that quote before? True enough. Sometimes time is our friend, sometimes it turns on you and become your enemy. But sometimes its a matter of how you perceive it that makes it friend or foe. There are also circumstances whereby you wish time was faster, but there are times when you want it to pass slowly. When you are studying, you wish time will pass faster so that you'll reach holidays soon. But when you're having exams, you wish it passed slower so that you have more time to think and write your answers.
Ok, enough of all the bullshit talk.
For now, I just want time to tell me the truth.
About how I feel towards you and you towards me.
How I wish time will pass faster till the next time I see you.
And slower whenever I'm with you.

Children
Since my younger days, I've been thinking about children. The kind of kids I want to have when I grow up. The number of kids I want to have. How'd they be brought up. And all that sort of things. People can tell me, you are still young, find a girlfriend first before thinking about such things. But I don't see what's wrong with planning how I want my future to be like. Just FYI, I don't really like kids. Or rather, I don't like naughty and noisy kids.
Last time, I wanted to be authoritative over my children. Like they need to be disciplined and all. But over the years, I realise that its not only one way to make your kids behave themselves. There are many ways and the more you control them, the more they will rebel. I still want them to be disicplined, but I guess I will use another approach rather than scold or beat them all the time.
Today, I encountered two instances whereby children came into the picture in just a mere one hour. The first one was when a mother was explaining to her two daughters about the many "why" questions her daughter asked. She was very patient in explaining things to her and the words that she say are a little bit too difficult for her daughter's age to understand. But I think its good because it makes her daughter grow up faster and more mature. She even taught moral education to her daughter by saying its selfish for people to put chairs infront of their landed property to "chop" the parking space. She also scolded her youngest daughter for being too noisy but she did it in such a loving manner. Worth learning from.
Another instance was when the children of the shop owner near my house was being naughty by running all about. The son didn't want to listen to the mother and went against her will. The daughter was rude to me when she said "excuse me" in a You-Owe-Me-Something tone. Turn off by seeing such things happen. Definitely do NOT want to bring up my kids to be in that manner.
Of course, both parents have to play a part in bringing up children. One of the parent has to be the angel, the other has to be the devil if they want to balance out the kids. This, I shall leave it to your future spouse and you to decide.
Happy Lunar New Year to one and all!

HAPPY TWENTY FIRST BIRTHDAY EDWIN CHAN!!!
Today, marks the day when I turn 21 years old!
Although I did not celebrate much for this year's birthday.
I think its just feels like any other day.
But that's okay, because I feel contented that so many people wished me.
Which is actually all that I need really.
I don't bother counting all my wishes.
Most of them came from Facebook.
Probably because there's a reminder to tell them its my birthday.
I'm just really glad that certain people do actually remember them.
And they came personally either through calls, SMS or on MSN.
Cheers to all those out there who made the effort to wish me!
And I do hope all my wishes come true =)

The Eyecandy Story
Initially I wanted to blog about this story.
But I deleted the whole post because I don't know what to type.
Anyway, here goes my story... ... ...
Chapter 1
I met her when I randomly visited this bar/restaurant with a couple of my friends off Upp Serangoon Road. Well, I didn't exactly meet her yet, but I took notice of the new staff who was working there. She really caught my attention at first sight. I did mention to a few of my friends about her, and they mostly agreed that she was good looking. But I didn't look too much into wanting to get to know her, since (if you know me well enough) I am not as courageous.
Chapter 2
So life went on and I didn't really went to think too much about this girl. Other things in life took precede over a girl whom I know probably won't enter my life. However, later on when I went back there after a long period of time, taking a new friend there to try their food, and I realised that the girl I once saw months ago was still working there. Afterwhich, I asked my friend (who wasn't within my age group) to advise me on what if I wanted to know that waitress over there. Speaking out of experience and knowledge on her part, she told me to go there more often, make my presence felt, make her notice me, and slowly start to get to know her. She suggested going there alone for a drink or two, and slowly when the waitress starts to recognise me, strike up a conversation with her. I took that advice...
Chapter 3
Coincidentally, on the eve of Christmas Day, I was upset due to obtaining knowledge about some issues. In the end, I decided to get a drink at that particular bar and took the opportunity to see that girl. To my surprise, she was indeed working that evening. After serving me a couple of drinks, she approached me and asked why I was alone on Christmas eve. After saying because I was upset, she sent her regards and wished me Merry Christmas. At that instant, my heart melted on the spot, like as if the candle wax melted and got rooted to the ground.
Chapter 4
Following that evening on Christmas Day, I went there again on New Year's Eve with some of my friends. Whilst in the midst of deciding where to go, I suggested yet again that particular restaurant, to not only take that opportunity to see my eyecandy, but also because my friends went there before and wanted to try their food again. The moment we reached our destination, guess who appeared? Throughout asking the formalities of "table for how many?", "smoking or non-smoking", she was maintaining eye contact with me! That really triggered my estatic heart. Following that, she asked "Oh, so you are not alone today". That question really started the whole ball rolling. However, due to the fact that I'm afraid of being embarrassed infront of my friends, I decided not to move forward on that very day.
Chapter 5
My estatic heart kept telling me to go back there and visit her week after week. And so, that weekend after New Year, I decided to pay her another visit. This time, with just one, male, friend. On that day, I managed to get her name, school, and also a very (in my eyes) funny question. I asked her whether she would be working on the 21st of January. She questioned if it was an event held at the restaurant, and went on guessing that it was my birthday. When I acknowledged, she went on asking if she needed to buy me a present. That totally cupid-ed my heart that evening.
Chapter 6
This week was no different. I went to that restaurant once again and this time round, I took the step further. I asked her two very sensitive questions: Age and contact number. She gave me the first answer, but later went on telling me to come again on the 21st if I wanted to know the answer to my second question. I have absolutely no clue to what she meant by "you come again on Friday", pertaining to my second question. When I asked about the present she suggested, she gave a cute little smile and said "don't know". I dare not piece the puzzle together in case of false estatic hope. I don't want to need a Cardic ressuccitation any time soon. Well, maybe on the 21st when she surprises me with something, or MANY things. =D
Till the next time my life continues to unravel what lies ahead... ...
I shall end at Chapter 6.
Oh, and if you REALLY know me well enough.
You should know my stories always don't have a conclusion.

Nostalgia? Maybe Not
I don't know why. But whenever I see those posts on Facebook. Posts about NPCC, them talking about what they feel, about how awesome the parade or their trainings are, pictures of them, I don't seem like I miss those times at all. Maybe just a little bit, but its just very minute. Other than that, I'm like: oh, this again, boring. Likewise for the pictures taken at the floating platform. BMTC's 2nd Graduation Parade held. I don't miss anything about that, maybe just the people in army.
Maybe I've moved on.
The passion died.
I no longer feel for the past.

Ups and Downs
If there's no appreciation, go bang wall and die.
If there's no respect, go flush yourself down the toilet bowl.
Can't be bothered, and shall not bother.
Be happy, Edwin!
On another note, my eyecandy's name is "T....."
HAHAHA.
Hawt!
Bye.
Add on//
Some times I wonder why I care so much.
Why do I bother so much about what happens.
I'm no longer in there.
Neither do the people in there appreciates me anymore.
I dare say I've achieved something there.
Were you any better?
If not, why did you put me down when you weren't even close.
Since you labelled me, I'll label you too.
Maybe R is right.
Times have changed.
People change with time.
The generation has changed.
They don't see how we see it last time.
There's no ending to this.
But I shall put an end to it.
Soon.

Two Zero One One
The start of the new year was spent with Rafael and some new girls I just met. Hahaha. Anyways, all was good yet not so good. Was quite upset over some issues that happened the year before, but forget it, let bygones be bygones. Its a new year so why fret over things that have pass right?
On the bright side, I got to know new friends. And I saw my eye candy. And she recognises me hahahaha. And the new people I just met said she's good looking/hot. Hahaha. Awesomeness. Except that they made it too obvious that I was looking at her.
Happy New Year everybody!
Don't wish to say too much.
Just do what you think is right.
Be happy, and....
Don't break the law!
