+ TheNextChapter - 333Degree

I've just completed another chapter. This is a start of a new chapter and I'm looking forward to it. The main character remains the same, but most probably there'll be few new characters added while some old characters begin to slowly fade away. Will see how the story develops from here. C:

This day has finally arrived.....I've got my 333Degree.

All I was looking for was these 2 words with my half-opened eyes in the morning...............................................And I found it. C;

+ National Achievers' Congress 2005

How many of you have heard of the NAC? Neither have I. I was lucky to get the ticket to attend this seminar at the expo on thursday and friday. It had quite good seats and it's expensive. People bought it a year before during the NAC where the price was about $150, whereas if you try to get it after the seminar, the price is jacked up. How about that??

I did learn quite a bit from the 2 day seminar. Mostly on business and inspirational talks which would come in handy later on in life. I'll share with you more on it probably in the next few days and hopefully you'll be able to learn from it as well. Have been in a learning mood the past 2 weeks at least. More likely it's due to the thought and believe of being able to unleash the potential in me and likewise, i feel it's the same for the rest of you too. All of us have this potential inside us, wanting to come out. Some of us might not know it yet, but it's there! What we need to do is to bring it out by changing our belief system! Not going to carry on, otherwise i won't stop. Do leave me a comment or two. =)

+ Crossroads

Let me recapture what happened on the last skidmark. It was a happening saturday for me besides just the paintball. There was also a gathering for 7 of us for dim sum at goodwoodpark hotel. I was glad these few guys made it, least it goes to show that they bother to catch up with one another since army daze. Then came the night when we saw how cruel penalty shootout can be to a team that played so well, amazingly well to a one-sided FA Cup Final at Cardiff. Much could be said about the numerous chances that they've missed, and so maybe, and so probably didn't deserve to win.

Crossroads. Been to interviews, read the Recruit, check out companies online. I'm at the crossroad. I see numerous paths which i could take. I could see myself taking one of these paths and maybe still have the energy to make it back to the same spot a yr or 2 from now. And be right back where i started and try again. But only this time round, i've a better idea of where i'll be heading to. All i know for sure is that this is definitely the period of learning. To learn as much as i can, to know what i'm good at, what i'm not, where my interest lie, what i want in life, how far i would go to get it. So which path have you decided to take? See you at the crossroads ;)

+ "Cover Me! Cover Me!!"

"Cover Me! Cover Me!" I shouted as I dashed for the ammo box in the middle of the field. Crouching low, I could see the orange bullets homing in on me. Some coming in fiercely from my left, others coming in on my right. I grabbed the handle,turned and headed back to base. "Tak!" I felt a shot on my lower left back and I knew I was dead...."DAM/\/!"

Welcome to a morning game of paintball. First attempt at it and it was Fantastic, but I can't say the same for the price though. With 2000 paintballs to share among 11 of us, it lasts only more than an hour. It's like the old times in army, fatigue sets in quickly after a few minutes of desperate shooting and dodging, and dashing for cover. Some are more conservative with their shots, few were trigger happy. Maybe that explains why it's suppose to last 2 hrs but not. Well, it was fun still. Meanwhile, I hope the small bruises heal quickly. I didn't have much ;)

+ SomethingToBoggleYourMind

I'm reading this book and here's the first page.

"Any one who has a common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as the bodily eye; and he who remembers this when he sees any one whose vision is perplexed and weak, will not be too ready to laugh; he will first ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter life, and is unable to see because unaccustomed to the dark, or having turned from darkness to the day is dazzled by excess of light. And he will count the one happy in his condition and state of being, and he will pity the other; or, if he have a mind to laugh at he soul which comes from below into the light, there will be more reason in this than in the laugh which greets him who returns from above out of the light into the den."

Anyway, talking about long sentences. Could yours have been much longer? Or does yours make more sense than this. Tell me...:)

+ I Saw (MovingOut,GoingHome)

It's been a few days. Have been travelling to and fro, packing and bringing stuff home from hall. As i packed, i looked through the diaries i had with me for the last few sems. I saw the little gifts, notes or cards of well wishes from friends. I saw the tickets, cards, brochures and small items from the various hall activites. I saw the medals won from IBG and IHG competitions. I saw the collection of committee tees and jerseys. I saw the different textbooks i've bought. I saw some old photos taken. All these brought back wonderful memories, it brought a smile to my face. :) I'm quite happy to leave this place. I've done all that i could, i've enjoyed all that i could, i've embraced all that i could. No regrets, no looking back. Looking forward to a new chapter in my life. What's the world out there to offer me. Somehow, i think i would be disappointed. But again, maybe it should be what do I've to offer to this world. Now, that makes totally different feeling all together! Will see how it goes from here. I'll try to put more pics in future posts, don't have the digicam with me for the next month, but i'll try. ........I saw.....................

+ TributeToMa

MA! That's how I call the most wonderful woman on earth. Used to be 'mummy' when i was younger, but somehow it changed over the years and it became just one syllable. Looking back at the 20 odd years that she's been taking of the whole family, it makes you wonder where she summons all the strength and energy to do so. Besides work, there's the house to take care of and on top of that, the squabbles that happen at home between her LOVEly children. Heh. Her son wasn't easy to handle, but she has her waYs *whacks*. Now that she has seen him through 16 years of schOol, it's time for him to show some gratitUte in return. Here's lilies for MA!
