It's been yet a while since I last blogged. Many things have been happening and I guess this would be a good time to make a record of them.

Let's begin with life now. It ain't exactly a bed of roses, neither is it as bad as I'd always pictured it in the past. Feels like I've cheated myself of those moments back then when I could have been looking forward to this with a more positive mentality than the gloomy one I took which REALLY sucked out the happiness then like a dementor. So far, so good. Nothing beyond my limits yet but I guess the overseas phase will be a good litmus test of my current soldierly level.

As it always has been, bonds are broken, mended and forged. For some, you have to let time scrape away the foil above the shiny surface to reveal what's truly beneath. I'm thankful to have buddies who are true around, especially during this period of time. Guess this is one of the good yields that tough times bring about. (:

After transforming into a little green man, I feel like my brain's stopped functioning as well as it used to intellectually. It must be the "All brawn and no brains" feature of these 2 years. Time to get things going!

Meeting up with FRIENDS tomorrow. It's gonna be a BLAST! ((:

Couple of songs that tugged at my heartstrings. ((:

WHAT HURTS THE MOST - RASCAL FLATTS

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do
Ooohhh....

No Surprise - Daughtry

I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder, I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrappin' this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

Chorus
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever, just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say

Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God knows we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no,
As no surprise

If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this
It's easier to see the reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
(stayed till today)
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

After all that's happened during the past week, I can't help but feel like something's wrong.

I wonder if it's because of idling my brain for too long or some other unknown reason. Feeling kinda detached and dry. And I can't put away the feeling of being somewhat like Charlie Gordon in Flowers For Algernon where his IQ skydives. Kinda worrying but i hope it's just a temporary phase. Things are just so normal... It feels like I'm just existing rather than living.

And no, I'm not depressed.

What happened to everyone?

BANG!

Just returned from playing Bang! with the youth at dessertbowl. Awesome place for slacking and talking cock. The dessert served were all pretty unique and they tasted great too. Before we knew it, our bowls were all cleaned out.

I used to lament how time just passed when we're enjoying ourselves and how superficial good times can be. Now, all i wanna do is capture these fantastic moments and appreciate them for happening. No longer will there be a foreboding vaccuum of boring dread in the midst of having fun.

I feel like i've grown, even a little bit.

Should i call it a half success or failure?

It was something we planned way in advance, yet there were the regular latecomers. Plans only came to fruition very much later. We still had a night to remember. Poor recruit was in no state to drink and the others were all taking smoke breaks in intervals. Most memorable thing was our pornman. He was fine throughout the drinking until he puked 4 times in total at the end.

It was hilarious. He let off one volley at RK and we could see how pissed off the indian waiters there were la!

Maybe we should have gatherings of another kind in future.

On a sidenote, congrats to all the J3s who received their slips today. It's only a stepping stone to enter your desired uni course and nothing more. Don't let it affect you too much.

Fabulous 20th birthday celebration, thanks to everyone who was involved and MOST of all, to KY! ((:

Getting to meet everyone together in a single gathering was truly nostalgic but it just feels as if we've all aged, becoming 老鸟 already. While we've all gone our ways, it's really heartwarming to meet up again. Food was good and everyone was sporting. What more can i ask for?

Thanks to BABY, W.I.S, FRIENDS and the YOUTH. HEHS. Truly a memorable celebration with the unglamness and all. Really brings a SMILE to my face as i replay the whole thing in my mind.

Great food, delicious food, sweeeet cake and lovable company....

Not gonna let the dementors take it all away.
