to sum up the week.
1. thanks for the white wallet. thought it's more than 1 month late but better late then never i guess? it really looks like a limited edition and i think it's a really good choice.
sorry i haven't exactly been a good host you guys come by my house. and may there be more guitar hero sessions. i promise i will stop screaming and i will sing properly. if i know the lyrics to the song. :)
2. to kaifen. thanks for the top from US. it just comfirms that all my tops from US are all maroon red in colour! i know we took more than 1 sem to arrange for a meet up. the next one will come sooner since your birthday is just ard the corner. i hope.
3. merry xmas pple and have a gd year ahead.
to sum up the month.
1. i'm happy with my commitment to hall.
2. things could be better if everyone is around and all. cheerleading included.
3. i have no regrets. even if i asked to be subbed out of the last game. because i know i'm became a liability.
4. may next year be better.
to sum up the year.
1. misunderstanding. in IP MAN, the jap general and ip man himself are not very much different. in terms of character, huanity, principles and belief. the only thing that had made them different was the way they were brought up. what made their hatred grow started from a misunderstanding. like fromt the start. like kane and abel.
2. communication can solve the first issue. but it has to be a two way thing. An effort can and will be made by a single party. like the first move to know each other's name. the day one party loses interest on one side. it will be the beginning of the end. like i said before. if there is an interest on one side anything the other party do, you can feel the sincerity and any small thing will mean the world to the person. similiarily if the interest is one side. there is no point because every extra thing you do is taken for granted. even if you could travel to the end of the rainbow to bring back a pot of gold, collect sweet sparkling cooling dew from the underside of leaves, not even a heart of stone will be moved. the same could be said for communication. talking to a person who doesn't want to hear anything is as good as talking to the wall.
3. similiarity. everyone is similiar. to a certain extent. be it large or small. physical or intangible means. hazel brown eyes. beliefs. thinking.
4. difference. yet. as much as we could all be similiar. no 2 pple will ever be alike. we're like our own set of fingerprints. unique and all. and even when we look at our own images in the mirror, there is still this problem of chirality differenciating us. the object will never understand why his left will be the image's right because that's how things are and maybe that's how things should be.
5. timing is everything.
start studying earlier.
play harder.
check my results.
improve interpersonal relationship.
stick by my friends.
open up a little more.

Frivolous stuff (C'ntd)
22-12-08 12:13 AM
there are some things in life that are simple. but you can enjoy them.like finding your way through a neighbourhood from an mrt station to a block.
you may not know where the destination might be.
but it just adds on to the thrill of beign adventureous, discovery.
even if it merely was just a ten minutes walk with you. i enjoyed it alot.
just caught twilight.
i admit that thick eyebrowns are nice. along with deep set eyes.
but seriously is edward cullen that good looking?
i swear i heard every single female in the theatre swoon like in unison when he came onto the screen.
playing baseball in the rain.
it's like chasing lightning.
anything related to wet weather just look and feel good.
the things that one could do..after bitten by radioactive spiders or kryptonite..or simply being a vampire..is incredible..looking down on earth on a bed of clouds. gazing at stars or swinging from tree to tree..building to building..
but of coz they're fiction. i could settle for something less..like lying on an open field..looking at the starry night..or simple things in life..like a slow stroll in the neighbourhood. :)
Your scent is like a drug to me. It's like my own, personal brand of heroine.
At the initial part I could just really relate to edward. not knowing what bella is thinking. confused. treatment to bella and all. it's just so familiar.
anyway. don't be stupid. never ever use used bottle caps for contact lens storage.

I wanna see stars right now, na na.

All the stars are coming out tonight.
They're lighting up the sky tonight for you, for you.
All the stars are coming out tonight.
They're lighting up the sky tonight for you, for you.
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
I wanna see stars right now, na na.
All the stars are coming out tonight.
They're lighting up the sky tonight for you, for you.

when i broke free down the left flank. it was the kind of scene that i had been visualising all these time in my mind. a simple fake. cut it in. and a shot.
but it broke down when i let ou my flashy side and did 2 stepovers. end up giving back the advantage that i had gained and had to pass it back to defence. well at least possession was mantained. but the chance to get that equaliser was lost.
i kind of understand why gerrard can play well in club level. but never in england.
when the play revolves around you. you are made to look good.
when you're surrounded with stars. everything you do will only appear normal.
but when you're the star of a club. sometimes you wonder if the team shares the same desire and hunger as you do.
of course this wouldn't be a problem when you're in a bigger club. but of course that doesn't guarantee a place in the starting line up. you can of course train harder. be a better player. provided you haven't lose yourself in cars, women, and nightlife.
when we were given the lead. yes, given. we didn't appreciate it.
it was, but a matter of time before we were punished.
when we had to work for the win. we tried. but it was too little too late.
why do we always have to wait til we lose sth before we realise the value of its worth?
may things be different come tuesday.
when we dress in orange.
when i fight in 8.
there shouldn't be any disappointment.
for o-eight.
it's a sacred number.

Hot and Cold - Kate Perry
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah, you PMS like a bitch
I would know
And you always think
Always speak cryptically
I should know
That you're no good for me
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You, you don't really wanna stay, no
You, but you don't really wanna go, oh
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
We used to be just like twins, so in sync
The same energy now's a dead battery
Used to laugh 'bout nothing
Now you're plain boring
I should know
That you're not gonna change
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You, you don't really wanna stay, no
You, but you don't really wanna go, oh
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bipolar
Stuck on a rollercoaster
Can't get off this ride
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right

cheerleading
-stunt taken place during cheerleading-
meifang went high high high up into the sky. balancing on one leg like a flamingo. standing leg supported by max and dave; hands outstretched. unable to balance, she took a tumble.
Aaron: eh? I thought you could do this move the previous time?
MF: me? not me. it's her. -points to geraldine-
Aaron: oh..then how did you came down the previous time?
MF: eh..i fell down.
and then everyone else started laughing.
just thought it's funny.
hm. honestly. i will be sad if we don't send a team for cheerleading. i'm more for it than the mascot alone. but it's just i don't like the frequency ( 4 5 times a week). and the fact that it always starts so late at night. higher intensity less frequency sounds good though. and if i can stick to the same group every session. i promise i will be there every session.
it's a group thing anyway.

Dated 8th DEC (Delayed)
bees are attracted to flowers like how ants are attracted to you..
i think i have quite a good memoryl still knowing my way round the places that i have been to batam.
gift of touch rules all.
bones can be shattered. wounds may appear. but spirit can bring you anywhere.
bicycle.
sometimes we are so affected by the past. we are oblivious to the present. and the future is crushed.
perhaps. it would be better if.
we forget the past, enjoy the present, and live like there's no tomorrow.
sad when i see groups are no longer meeting up as they used to be. i look at my current group and i wonder when will this magical feeling last.
the fear of the unknown. fear will make it happen.
what will keep it stick would be the gifts of assurance. touch.

Remaining Agendas
there are stuff that i wanted to do before the start of holidays.
listed as hidden agenda.
right now i'm going public. since holidays are ending.
and circumstances have changed. in a way.
sentosa. botanical gardens. (just replaced it today)
esplanade walk.
home cooked food.
night cycling/ sing song.
ip man.
dinner with paternal side. (SOON!)
that'll be all for now..that's not the full list though.
it's nice to see that most of them has been cleared. with the right company and all.
a pity the last few would be somewhat different from what i had originally set it out to be.
if you have the same agendas to clear in your remaining days. you can look me up!

Frivolous stuff
there are some things in life that are simple. but you can enjoy them.
like a walk through a neighbourhood from an mrt station to a block.
you may not know where the destination might be.
but it just adds on to the thrill of beign adventureous, discovery.
even if it was a ten minutes walk. i enjoyed it alot.
just caught twilight.
i admit that thick eyebrowns are nice. along with deep set eyes.
but seriously is edward cullen that good looking?
i swear i heard every single female in the theatre swoon like in unison when he came onto the screen.
playing baseball in the rain.
it's like chasing lightning.
anything related to wet weather just look and feel good.
the things that one could do..after bitten by radioactive spiders or kryptonite..or simply being a vampire..is incredible..looking down on earth on a bed of clouds. gazing at stars or swinging from tree to tree..building to building..
but of coz they're fiction. i could settle for something less..like lying on an open field..looking at the starry night..or simple things in life..like a slow stroll in the neighbourhood. :)
Your scent is like a drug to me. It's like my own, personal brand of heroine.
At the initial part I could just really relate to edward. not knowing what bella is thinking. confused. treatment to bella and all. it's just so familiar.
anyway. don't be stupid. never ever use used bottle caps for contact lens storage.

After A While
.
After a while you learn the subtle difference
After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
.
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't mean security,
.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises
.
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open,
With the grace of a woman,
Not the grief of a child
.
And you learn to build all your roads on today,
Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
.
After awhile you learn that even sunshine
Burns if you get too much
.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
.
And you learn that you really can endure..
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth,
and you learn and learn...
.
With every good bye you learn.

IH and all.
1. it's not nice when i feel passionately about sth. but i can't be involved in it.
2. timing is everything.
3. i got a very bad sense of timing.
4. which is why i'm always late.
5. i don't like to play when i know i got no chance of winning a game.
6. when i play. when i put in my best. i'll settle for nth but a win.
7. i dislike the bitter taste of defeat.
8. even if i'm just a spectator from the sidelines.
9. disgust, remorse, sadness, pity, anger.
10. but everything will be alright. when the new season starts again.
i gave you an eight because that is out of the scale of 1 to 10.
eight is a special number that is of significance to me.
to you, there probably isn't any difference whether i'm back in hall on the past two days anyway.
i really hate cheerleading because it just ruins everything. i hate to do things that i have to be forced to. it simply removes the fun out of it. In case you're wondering why i can't simply walk away and all it's because there is a sense of responsibility and commitment. it's a complicated situation nevertheless.

happen to come one of my favourite scences in Love Act. thanks to SH for that.
shall post it below so that everybody can take a look.
At the same time, do catch Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging. I thought it was a pretty good flick. Catchy music and decent plot. Refreshing change. Chick flick and all. Good recommendation. :)

giving advice to someone is so much easier, than taking it in.
it allows you to see your situation from a broader picture.
and somehow everything just fits in.
it makes you understand others easily.
relate to their actions and gestures.
defend your friend because you know what the person is actually thinking or feeling.
i feel like a wise man now.
yet at the same time i feel like a fool.
but my goal is clear now. i know what i want.
with you i can take on anything. rule the world.
a pillar of strength i can't do without.
the holidays doesn't feel like holidays.
expectations fall short.
it's time to take a break.
we should have a crazy session to take our mind off hall stuff and all.
more spontaneity, like the first weeks of school.
i'm glad hq and my close friend feels the same way.
it's nice to hang around with like minded people.
you don't have to say much.
it's not that difficult to understand.

Ah lian bee hoon is probably the best place for supper around Boon Lay. Sorry to Nasi Lemak and Ah Fang's porridge. But my verdict is out.
Jellybeans rule over M&Ms(peanuts)
Fresh air is always good.
It improves blood circulation. To the body; mind.
Thanks for being there. If you ever need me. I will be there for you. Anywhere Anytime. 15mins. Code included of course. I don't want to make a wasted trip. :P
I feel sorry for what's going on in Thailand.
I'm relieved I hadn't planned a trip there.
But KL would be a good alternaltive.
one thing i want to do before i die is to have a feel of what's like to be going at 200km/hr.

done and over with
when you lose a game. it could be down to a few reason.
1. you let the team down.
it could be that you didn't mean it. being robbed of possession (as the last defender), turning around watching your opponent put the ball into the back of net. or simply you were there at the wrong place at the wrong time as you see the ball bounce off your shin into the net.
2. your team let you down.
you gave your all. your teammate(s) happens to be the culprit now. there's nothing much you can do since it's a team game. You're only as strong as the weakest link.
3. the opposition was simply too good.
outclassed. outmuscled. outplayed. put an primier league team against our national team and the only commenable thing would be the fighting spirit in us. that's about it.
4. lady luck wasn't on your side.
a cruel late goal didn't tell how much possession your team had in the game but just couldn't convert it into what really matter. how many shots you had but you just couldn't find the net.
i can't believe how right after i hear the words 'PEN'S DOWN. TIME'S UP!' i always have unrelated stuff on my mind. Okay. There's no two things that are totally unrelated cause they can always be linked but yea. I'm too lazy to explain.
Exam's over. This is probably the last thing I'm going to talk about exams.
26 entries in this month so far. I'm really got so much time. blogging and sleeping 8 hours average consistently every morning.
POST EXAMS ACTIVITIES UP NEXT! I'll try to ensure it is updated as frequently during this period of exams :):)

Done in an hour.
All modules should be like that.
It makes studying so much easier. and stress free.

it's refreshing to feel the raindrops on the skin once again.
a pity i couldn't stand longer and enjoy the moment.
it's okay. there'll be another day.
somehow the raindrops doesn't feel as pure and clean as it used to be.
to think that i had taken a shower before that.
it's okay. i'll shower later.
back from super supper :)
monkeying around, sleep, or study?
i'll start with the last option. and see where i end up.
14 more hours. it's starting to get into me. i can feel it. hocus pocus focus!

taiwan (II)
i like hall sixteen.
it feels like home.
i can walk around in nothing but my favourite mickey mouse boxers because the corridors are covered and i wouldn't be sued for indecent exposure.
there's 24 hrs heater service should i need to shower. but most of the time. er. i'll skip that.
the room temperature can be set so low i can just work optimally.
or rather sleep peacefully until it's lunch time.
sad to say. the air con is used to cool me down more than doing work because there is this stupid guy in the room that can't make everybody hold on to their sanity.
i feel sorry for deceiving the neighbours because in the midst of all the exam preparation, there seems to be a party going on in the room. but there's actually only two idiots in the room.
anyway i'm so glad WE ARE NOT ROOMIES because if we are, tomorrow's paper wouldn't be the only paper i'm going to fail.
is it too late to change my brithday wish? coz i definitely need more than divine intervention to get a decent grade! oh well. it's my final paper WHEEEE~!
tata. that's all. it's SUPPPPER TIME! ciao!

How to save a life; the man that can't be moved
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not...broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you...

How can I move on when I'm still in love with you...
this 21st really means a lot to me. thanks to facebook and hall life. i've had more well wishes this year alone than the previous 4 years combined. my facebook wall is flooded. i can't give a personal reply to everyone. i have to do it through a shout out. i seem familiar faces in hall and i got no idea how they know it's my birthday. but it's a nice feeling and all..
i'm going to break tradition. i won't be typing the wellwishes from sms-es here this time round.
no real reason.
it, too, makes me realise a lot of things.
1. my friends really mean a lot to me.
2. esp those that really play a part in some part of my life. it means a great deal.
3. i live for the moment.
4. i don't mind spending if everybody is enjoying themselves in an event.
5. even if that means i'm penniless; my future seems uncertain tomorrow because
6. i don't really worry about the future.
7. which may not exactly be a good thing.
8. since it can be seen as a form of procrastination.
9. and not exactly something to be proud of, esp to a girl when marriage is concerned.
10. but that's the way it is.
11. because i'm a sagi.
12. i'm happy go lucky.
13. i'm not too sure if i can be associated with words like flirtatious and casanova.
14. because i don't have the basic criteria to be one.
15. i miss the rain.
16. sometimes i like to be in crowds. but many a times. i feel restricted with people around.
17. maybe because i care too much what others think of me.
18. i can't handle my emotions well.
19. i end up doing stupid things. foolish. that hurts everybody. somebody. people. person that are of significance importance.
20. i want to be in love. I really do.
21. but i'm not sure if i am ready when the right person comes along.
if i could make a last wish. it would be to go back in time. 12hrs ago. 3 nights ago. back to 1 rochester. back to the bridge. where everything seems calm. water under the bridge.

Free Frag
You know the game CounterStrike?
Some like it.
Some do not.
Some would think that it is a violent game and it should be banned.
Some would claim it's not a game for the faint hearted.
Some would think that more gore would make it more enticing.
Some would skip meals refusing to budge, staying at the screen keeping it company.
Some would spend days thinking of strategies to outwit his enemies.
Some yearn to be the best player in the game, taking part in WCG.
Some find peace in it as it is a virtual game, relieving themselves in the trigger happy game.
Some turn it into reality, mimicking the action of the character by bringing a weapon into an institution and claiming innocent lives on site.
Anyway. my point is. it is like an exam.
it drives one insane. it makes some smile so much. it could be a torture. it isn't for the faint hearted. it makes one skip meals. it makes one sacrifice sleep. it could make you not much different from a zombie. it drives you crazy.
I'm on the terrorist team now.
And a few rounds have passed.
I'm not top frag.
But i got a few kills.
My team mates like me.
Not because I got the kills.
But I'm doing my job well now.
I'm a lamb.
My game plan is simple.
Take any route.
Deceive the enemy believe that we're advancing by that route.
Wait for the rest of my teammates to flank them by another route and ambush them.
Or plant the bomb.
Secure the team's objective.
My simple instruction.
Remain alive.
With every kill under my name.
I got more deaths.
My enemy love me even more.
I'm after all.
Fresh meat.
A noob.
Waiting to be slaughter.
A.
free.
frag.
It basically reflects my paper.
I go in gung ho. With enough knowledge and equipment to survive.
I put up a fight.
I wait. I kill. I wait. I wait. I wait.
The longer I wait. The worse it seems to get. With every page I flip. The more desperate I seem to get. What I'm taught is simple. Shoot on sight. In practice, it's totally another thing in getting my act together.
My course mates probably like me for what I'm doing now. I'm doing my job well. Helping them secure their A and A**. The prof probably likes me as much. I make their job so simple. Surely they couldn't find a simpler script to mark.
I guess. It all boils down to one word.
Passion. The love for a subject.
enthusiam. dedication. peserverance.
it encompasses it all.
I guess it pretty much applies to love as well..
PS: I'm fine. I'm really fine. I just had to put up this post because this came into my mind in the midst of my paper. If i don't put it up, it will really be a great injustice.
PPS: I'm sick of waiting for the days to tick my slowly to do a paper. Seriously and honestly. I want to take them down all at a time. it's a torture. MENTALLY!

w-a-i-t
is there a system that allows a sender to know whether the message has been sent to the inbox.
and if the person has read it? or has the message got lost in post somewhere. somehow.
the feeling of going to your postbox daily to greet the postman, when all you want to do is to see if there is a mail for you.
standing at the harbour all day long, looking out onto the horizon. knowing that there will be no ships berthing because of the heavy thunderstorm..
the feeling of waiting....forlornly..for that glimmer of hope..
i just can't wait for exams to be over.
and to go to places i want to go when i want to go with who i want to go.

to share
2 interesting entries that I came across...thought it would be good to share..
^ _ ^
^ _ ^
the first from a food blog.
And since we are on the topic about the difference between men and women, I would like to throw another spanner in the works by bringing up another point. With my limited experience in dealing with the opposite sex (I only ever had one girlfriend), I observe that there are 3 things (in general) women love that men can't really understand: 1. Diamonds 2. Flowers and 3. Chocolates.
Seriously, I really don't understand why a small rock would cause so much delight in women. That a small rock can set you back a few sets of Golf gear or a good Hi Fi system! The way I see it, $5000 can buy you quite a few bits of technology like an Xbox, a great big LCD screen and one of those new space age OTO chairs that vibrate and explodes into surround sound when you crash your virtual Nascar into a tree.... OR..... it could buy you a small little rock which sparkles.
Well, there is a Medical reason that might explain it. The ability to see the colours Red and Green reside on the X Chromosome. Women have two X chromosomes while men only have one. Sometimes the genes on the X chromosome may be faulty and since men only have a single X chromosome, they are unable to perceive the colours Red and Green. Women are protected because if one X chromosome is faulty, they have another one which most probably will be normal. Research has shown that because women have two X chromosome, some women can actually see a wider spectrum of colours! So, for some women, instead of seeing just seven colours of a rainbow, they can actually perceive 10 colours. That might explain why women value a diamond much more than men! It also explains why I always have to ask my wife whether my clothes match.
pretty amusing. the part about research. trying to explain why guys like anything but diamonds. but yea. i would agree with the 3 objects. i'm fine with them. like i know girls like them. i will probably get it for my gf, wife. thing is i just wouldn't know the purpose behind it. like yea. the thought behind it is sweet. romantic. but. crazy over it just seems a little overboard. i'm not that crazy over soccer? sleep. maybe. but i can go on without sleep!

the second from a friend's blog, part of a story.
To me, a guy and a girl are best friends only because at some point in time, there was interest on at least one side. And because things didn’t develop for some reason or another, they become best friends instead, and that stage is irreversible. Franken liking Anna was entirely plausible, even during school days. So that meant that Anna must have not reciprocated, and that was why they became best friends.
i couldn't agree more. beautifully summed up.
for the whole story,
he played a part in me starting up this blog.
mainly because i thought he writes well.
EXAM STRESS?
so..i guess it's easy to put the blame on what's happening around to just these two words alone.
for words..kind..unkind..gibberish..actions that you may be doing which you will never consider or foresee yourself to do when you're rational, or when you're under NO stress at all..but are your course of actions really under the influence of the words at all, or are you just making the words your scapegoat because it is easy to simply point your fingers at it? it could be that the pressure has gotten into you, slicing through your comfy cocoon to reach that soft vulnerable interior. or it could only make you brace yourself to be stronger, helping you reach a stage of oblivion that you do not care or want to know what's happening around you. either way, or any other effects of it..it's impossible to say that we are safe from the effects of it..because we humans, are emotional creatures after all.
for myself, i don't think the effects of exams are that significant on me. there are only 2 times when i'm stress. when i know things are no longer in my control. and when there's nothing i can do to change an outcome which i want to prevent. so if you were to translate it to exam terms. it basically means that i wouldn't be worried for a paper. until the last few hours when i know it's too little too late to do anything to know more stuff. that i'll be worried. and when i'm doing the paper and when i've tried all that i know and when nothing i can do can help gain me additional marks. then i'll have to resort to praying for a miracle. and that is a very horrible feeling. i like to know things are under my control and that means that i know that i'm doom for a quiz that's starting in 10 mins. i'll do all i can to prevent that from happening. whatever it takes. it's a competitive streak in me.
so a lot of things have been going on lately, especially with people stepping up a gear to prepare for examinations..everybody stopping sports and rec games..cheerleading included (thank god) and the focus has been on the papers with a big E. for myself, i wouldn't say i didn't study. but i wouldn't say i studied exactly as well. it's hard to when there's no guidelines no TYS to do no tutors to seek help from..things have to dependent on one's self. that's INdependence (COOL). a word which i'm never and shouldn't be associated with.
i wouldn't want to talk about the actions of others. so i'll just touch on mine. given a choice, i rather complete these papers back to back to back, and get it done and over with asap. the wait is long and there's nothing more i dislike than to wait. (i'm sorry i'm always late!) it wouldn't matter if i did badly, as long as i scrap through. but yea. point is. i should probably be studying. doing a proper job as a student. and not going for extended smoke breaks by playing computer games, table soccer, go for meals that take 2 hours, rest two days after i complete one paper.
opps i forgot the purpose of this entry already. so i'll just ramble and rant and bitch. anyway i'm home. will be back in hall tmr afternooon. in case you're wondering why am i so free, blogging at this hour and going to and fro from hall to home to hall is because i need to do so. need to tend to some minor stuff. like frivolous stuff. come friday :) this is bad because my focus is totally not on my studies at all MUAHAHA but yea can't wait to spread the love around. EXAMS can wait. i got the rest of my life to pass it (i'll be a loser. i don't care!) but i like living for the moment and if i don't do stuff. i might regret it should the opportunity be gone. to paraphase, somehow i am not too worried about the papers because they are the future, and i'm not thinking that far, for now. if i wake up tmr and find myself that i'm no longer part of this world. i'm fine with it because i know i've did everything i need to, and i didn't spend my last few days studying! yay! like i said i'm not focusing now on the right stuff but yea. i don't know i don't care. ROAR! the last thing i want to be known for should i pass on is not about the 5.0 that i achieved but i help sbd acheive that 4.5 ( 0.5 goes missing because i played table soccer and computer games with him/her). At least i touched the life of somebody. maybe i should save myself before i talk about others. but. i can't be bothered about that now. i know what i want to be if i fail to make the grade.
one more thing. i have already taken 1 paper. maths. basic maths. limits, differentiation, integration. well. that's one out of 6 papers that i would have to take. but hey that's not the point. i stepped into the hall UNSURE how things would be like because one, that's my first MAJOR paper in Uni, and two, because i wouldn't say i was fully prepared for it because i know there were things that i could do. like doing past year papers, and try redoing my tutorials from week 1 to 10. and attempt my tutorials for the remaining weeks. fact is. i was a little complacent. and i couldn't really be bothered by it. so i attempted all questions with 45mins to spare. attempted meaning read, thought, tried, (gave up). i counted my marks (as i always do to know how i did for the paper) and i could see that 30 marks are gone, undone. 20 marks are gibberish. and hopefully i don't make any mistakes for the remaining 50 marks (who am i kidding?!). you know the lat time i felt so unprepared for a paper was during my HCL paper. where i chose to seek divine intervention from a Playstation before the paper. and you know what happened after that. I'll pass this time round. but i'll probably not do well. oh well..you know..i'm worried not because exams are here. at my doorstep. rather, i'm worried that the doorbell is ringing and i'm too stuck on cable tv that i'm not moving. that is troubling. things will improve, second sem. i promise. consistency would be the key. like always.
for words..kind..unkind..gibberish..actions that you may be doing which you will never consider or foresee yourself to do when you're rational, or when you're under NO stress at all..but are your course of actions really under the influence of the words at all, or are you just making the words your scapegoat because it is easy to simply point your fingers at it? it could be that the pressure has gotten into you, slicing through your comfy cocoon to reach that soft vulnerable interior. or it could only make you brace yourself to be stronger, helping you reach a stage of oblivion that you do not care or want to know what's happening around you. either way, or any other effects of it..it's impossible to say that we are safe from the effects of it..because we humans, are emotional creatures after all.
for myself, i don't think the effects of exams are that significant on me. there are only 2 times when i'm stress. when i know things are no longer in my control. and when there's nothing i can do to change an outcome which i want to prevent. so if you were to translate it to exam terms. it basically means that i wouldn't be worried for a paper. until the last few hours when i know it's too little too late to do anything to know more stuff. that i'll be worried. and when i'm doing the paper and when i've tried all that i know and when nothing i can do can help gain me additional marks. then i'll have to resort to praying for a miracle. and that is a very horrible feeling. i like to know things are under my control and that means that i know that i'm doom for a quiz that's starting in 10 mins. i'll do all i can to prevent that from happening. whatever it takes. it's a competitive streak in me.
so a lot of things have been going on lately, especially with people stepping up a gear to prepare for examinations..everybody stopping sports and rec games..cheerleading included (thank god) and the focus has been on the papers with a big E. for myself, i wouldn't say i didn't study. but i wouldn't say i studied exactly as well. it's hard to when there's no guidelines no TYS to do no tutors to seek help from..things have to dependent on one's self. that's INdependence (COOL). a word which i'm never and shouldn't be associated with.
i wouldn't want to talk about the actions of others. so i'll just touch on mine. given a choice, i rather complete these papers back to back to back, and get it done and over with asap. the wait is long and there's nothing more i dislike than to wait.

A Simple Meal
i'm kind of sick of the food in hall.
i shouldn't be complaining about food, not when my plate is filled at every meal.
but i think sometimes,
it's always good to have a plain simple meal.
an egg, simple veg, and a meat (with sauce).
one where you could just prepare and cook on your own.
it's healthy. it's an outlet for frustration. it's provides time to bond. it's a way to express love.
i missed beating an egg. washing the veg. and the smell of garlic.
maybe it was a very long time ago since there was a home cooked meal.
most of it came from my grandma house anyway.
and it's been a while since i did cook. a decent meal. and not instant noodles.
i enjoyed the session today.
but i thought something or someone was missing.
like who the dish would be for.
hm. no hotels to own.
no kitchen to cook.
i will be stuck in a lab.
and stories are all that i can cook up.
naked chef no more.
yan can cook no more.
it's ironic how all the talk about food is making me a little hungry.
i'm thinking seafood. prawns and crab.
SINFUL. if not taxing on my pocket. =X

Self Discovery
have been speaking to a lot of people lately.
in fact no matter how stable a couple seems to be, one would be surprised, by what might actually be, otherwise.
and it isn't really a sweeping statement, because, that's what's happening around me.
I guess at the end of the day, what someone said really hit me hard. in uni, no relationships are permanent.
a smooth relationship probably wouldn't exist. yes, that i know.
but i would disagree.
because surely it can last those turbulent times if you want it to; friction when you see each other constantly; stress from exams; deadlines to meet.
isn't it more than just a short rollercoaster ride at a theme park, a road trip, or a plane trip from one end of the world to the other?
when a relationship reaches a plateau when the honeymoon period is over, nothing is left but a feeling of commitment towards each other and everything becomes mundane and boring.
a commitment. which is more than just riches, looks, and wit, a magical touch.
you tell me the happiness when you're with each other's company is gone. but will you ever be happy the new becomes the old and the old is forgotten.
i just hope you know what you're doing.
if you're prepare to play, then you should be prepared to get play. it's a dangerous game.
after all it's one that few can afford, or qualified to do so.
^ _ ^
it is the second time i've heard the same words from the same person.
the first was from a bitter experience.
the second was an encouragement, an advice.
^ _ ^
and i guess it's common for couples to have relationship problems.you can only get hurt from the words or actions of a person because that person means sth to you.

^_^
but sometimes u feel like a fool
because u try too hard for someone who doesnt reciprocate
I'm sorry i can't say anything helpful to you this time round. let me think about it. and i'll get back to you.
^ _ ^
you know the problem with me is.
i let my mood affect me so much
sometimes my actions are no longer ruled by my head.
i do things in anger.
i say hurtful things when i'm irritated.
i guess i don't notice it til it's too late.
then it will be too late to apologize.
and then i can only stop and stare.
^ _ ^
to me, to choose between the big picture and the small, finer details.
i will go for the latter.
because i believe that if the fine details are not taken care of then there isn't a big picture to talk about anymore.
so as long as there is one taking care of the big picture.
my job is simple, no matter how small or simple.
and that is to make sure nothing goes wrong.
even if you don't notice it.
it's alright.
as long as the big picture is in tact.
^ _ ^
on the same note, i don't like it when the attention is on me.
you can give me credit for my work, but i'll simple brush it away.
or make it sound like it doesn't matter.
i guess it may hurt the person.
but i wouldn't notice.
in the same way, i may do sth for a person.
but i may not voice it out.
because whoever gets the credit doesn't matter.
like i said,
i would rather make sure the break system of ten cars are fully functional,
then make sure the sales of the ten cars go well.
unambitious? maybe.
but i believe in a strong foundation.
even if that means i have ten cars i can't sell.
at least i know lives of the passengers are safe and accidents are prevented.
^ _ ^
sometimes i listen to the accounts of people's experience when they were younger.
and i envied them for it.
it's not things like being to new york or climbing mt fuji.
but more of stupid stuff like
emptying rubbish bins
disturbing pple in class
shooting rubber band at friends
playing stupid pranks
basically everything but following the rules
it will probable get me into trouble
or get expelled.
but there's only a chance at being young
and i will probably choose to remember all the stupid things that i had did when i'm older
than y= mx +c
i knew i always had a rebellious streak in me.
after all i did get into trouble as a class monitor
but seriously cat high is too guai
or my class at least
i think i was the top 3 menance in class.
but then again i am largely where i am today
because of my class in lower sec
which didn't led me astray.
^ _ ^
and maybe because of that i value my days now.
days of being single.
before settling down and being responsible.
right now, i value my weekends
and i wouldn't mind doing crazy things
even if that means forgoing my sleep
after all i'll have plenty of that in the coffin.
i will do anything but study on a weekend
but i guess it's always the company as well.
and in some way
even though the culture, scenary and people were way much better in Europe,
i think i had more fun in taiwan
from the numerous stupid things that were done in that single trip.
^ _ ^
after a 7hr sleep
and the hot shower that was still available.
i'm in hall. boo boo.
and i'll be doing ippt later.
dun fail me later.
i guess i'll go back to sleep.
just want to thank those that had been listening and sharing with me.
especially my roomie for attempting to wake me up for lessons.
and those who are constantly making sure i'm still sane.
i'll visit my grandparents this weekend.
find something stupid to do one more time.
before i turn the bend and go into the final sprint.
^ _ ^
for you, a thousand times over.

kid me not.
i dun think i can handle stress well.
i would behave like a kid.
and kids say the damnedest (and darndest) things.
but even as they say it.
there is so much innocence and sensitivity to it.
for that, i'm worse than a kid.

on the edge
i want to stand in the eye of the typhoon. try filling the whole hotel room with smoke. watch the demonstrators start a riot because of the increase in oil prices again.
i want to live my life on the edge.
and not count the days tick slowly away.
just woke up before the celtic and man utd kick off.
walked around with my stupid water bottle and watch the prelude to the match.
realise my stomach is churning, feel like puking.
i think i ate sth bad.

Language
A single letter.
I. Lonely.
U. Alone.
But the letter will be a lone, lonely figure by itself.
2 letters.
U, I. They would make up 'We'.
But it would be meaningless without a third connecting word.
Letters make up a word.
But no matter the length of the word, it will be difficult, but not unlikely, to fully express your thoughts.
Words make up a line of sentence.
But they would never make up a proper conversation.
Question? Yes. Reply Yes. But never a full conversation.
A couple of lines will form a paragraph.
Emotions could be conveyed. In the form of either hurt, or a source of happiness. But feelings will transcend that of those few lines.
Paragraphs will lead to viewpoints, discussions, suggestions.
Prose, poems, songs will follow.
They could stir feelings in you.
But it would never be as overwhelming, or be as magical, and it will die off. Slowly but surely.
It's said a pictures speaks a thousand words.
You could be mesmerized by it's beauty all day long. For it will be nothing but a blank canvas unless you could comprehend its absolute beauty and worth.
A motion picture, containing numerous pictures, speak volumes.
But for all the money spent on it. The beauty and the unsightly that you take it in. And all the highs and lows that it takes you through. Isn't it ironic then, when we are back to the single letter that will determine who it's audience ah? G, M18, R21.
to add on: grades are never a fair reflective of your progress. I could be getting good grades in my daily assignments but it wouldn't mean that I know my work if I have secondary sources of references for my work. Similarly for a person who has been practising hard all day long, and when it's not shown on the results slip. It could just be his unlucky day. At the end of the day, everything still boils down to hardwork and dilligence. :) Press on, Dig Deep, We'll be through it all.

Bigger heart to accept people around me.
Broader and mature mind to think for and take in the actions of people.
Smile to put on to brighten up the mood of the people ard me.
That will be all that I wish for.
Binded and Shackled. So much stacked upon. I can't breathe.
And exams have just to be around the corner to add to the mood.
Sometimes I would like to say more but it will be so weird.
I would like to think that things are the way they are because of circumstance.
I can only dance in the rain, if there is a downpour.
I'm fine is all I have to say now.
The time will come when everything will be revealed.
When exams are over.
When the poppers and fireworks can be heard in the background.

21 days away from my 21st.
but i haven't exactly got any concrete plans.
ippt and 3 meals to settle.
ideally..big breakfast, beach volleyball at sentosa, huge and heavenly dinner at a restaurant and going to a place to gaze at the stars at night.
Unfortunately this is probably going to be what's taking place. Defend myself at the stroke of midnight. Squeeze some formula into my head. Catch some rest. Last min revision. Defeat the physics paper. Enjoy my dinner :) Look at gore images in preparation for forensic science. Splendid. But i'll take it. I'll be happy with that. It's always the company that matters isn't it?
just thought of posting this up. taken exactly one year ago.
ORD LO!
there are some stuffs that I've been troubled of late.
and it's nice to be able to share it with a few others.
it's even nicer to know that they are actually pple who care.
really appreciate your advice.
and yes. one thing i do agree is that the problem lies with me.
got to know what is it that i want.
i got to be more focus orientated, do i not?
hopefully i'll know come 21 days later.

Troy: Loss? No..just a little confused.
Ms Darbus: Well..just follow your instincts..see where it takes you..reach deep and you'll find what you'll need.. something that you do not lack..and that's courage...
I don't always tell the truth..maybe because
1) there is damage control to be done.
2) a little entertainment isn't a bad thing.
3) you really get on to my nerves.
4) I have sth to hide from you.
What’s the point of life
If risk is just a board game
You roll the dice
But you’re just hoping that the rules change
What’s the point if you can’t bring yourself to say
Things you wanna say like
Dance with me tonight
(Music and Lyrics - Hugh Grant)

4) I have sth to hide from you.
What’s the point of life
If risk is just a board game
You roll the dice
But you’re just hoping that the rules change
What’s the point if you can’t bring yourself to say
Things you wanna say like
Dance with me tonight
(Music and Lyrics - Hugh Grant)

High School Musical 3
Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you (like you)
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do (way we do)
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
(High School Musical 3 - Can I have This Dance)
There were a few particular scenes that I really enjoyed.
The opening with the wildcats hyped up after the team talk with 16mins to go.
The picnic with pizza and strawberries coated with chocolate in Gabriella's room.
When Troy showed up 1053 miles away from home to pick up his date for prom.
The final scene, dance, musical and all. I can't believe I actually clapped during the show.
And lastly, the best of it all. The dance on the rooftop. It made me want to join them. Not 3 of us prancing around on the roof of course. But more of wanting to be like them. Enjoying the sunlight, the air, the company and the rain. I knew it was gonna rain. The thunder was kinda loud. But the rain was fake but I love it still.
I think rooftop scenes are awesome. Totally.
Jay's Secret, characters on the rooftop, background; sun setting in the Dan Shui landscape.
Step Up, Top of construction site. Sun setting in the background. Characters Nora practicing her piece, dancing and enjoying the skyline.
HSM3. Rooftop (+10). Flowers. Plenty of them (+8). Dance. Learning to waltz. (+10). Beautiful scenary around (+5). Dance perfected. (+15). Rumbling thunder but cast ignoring it (+5). Rain finally comes (+20). Refusal to leave, but to stay on. (Breathless)
When I was slowly taking it in, I had this overwhelming sensation to prance all over the cinema too. But my sister kept my sane. I am very captivated by it, and I can't stop thinking about the scene. Oh would you dance with me tonight...
And Zac Efron totally pulled off the double layer combi for top. Solid plain base shirt, covered with a chequered double breasted shirt. Christian did said that it would look good when we were in Jakarta, but I didn't buy it. Now I realised how potent it could be.
PS: Do catch HSM3 if you've yet to. I think it's a very different and refreshing show. Like all musicals do.

The Man Who Can't Be Moved - The Script
Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not...broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you...
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
Policeman says son you can't stay here,
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
People talk about the guy
Who's waiting on a girl...
Oohoohwoo
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world...
Hmmmm
and maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner...
Cos you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved...
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
[Repeat in background]
So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move.
-on a sidenote-
if she loses a leg, i would piggyback her.
if she needs a wheelchair, i would push her.
if she loses the ability to hold, i would feed her.
if she's in a coma, i would still clean her.
if she's blind, i would still take her around.
if she's deaf, i would text her.
if she loses her voice, pen and paper will work find for me.
if she's in pain, i would still be by her side.
for me i think the worse that could ever happen would be she losing her memory and not remembering who the person by her side is. that would be my greatest fear, and i wouldn't be sure if i would ever be strong to face it.

Love
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all even when his hands got arthritis, too. That's Love.
Rebecca - age 8
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny - age 7
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss."
Emily - age 8
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate."
Nikka - age 6
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
Cindy - age 8
"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age 6
"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine-age 5
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 7
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."
Karen - age 7
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
Jessica - age 8
And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
I really like the first answer. ALOT.
to
my family and loved ones;
FLS and cousins;
a maggot in bishan, raisin in thomson, cow in jurong, Jason and DW.
mates in NUS;
friends in Europe, Japan to Australia;
and lastly, the people who i see daily in hall, and thrice a week in sch. (i know it sounds wrong) :)

2.U.i.LIKE
it has been a crazy two weeks..particularly the past 4 nights..
i have had supper for the past four nights..
cause the company had been oh so right..
catching some sleep only when there is light..
finding it so difficult because it is so damn bright..
travelling almost 200km the last two nights..
zipping through almost every corner of the island like a fight..
and i do realise it's time to settle down and put things aside..
for exams are now in sight..
to prevent myself to be in a sorry plight..
preparations for the !@#$ must soon take flight..
back to the pen so full of might..
and the books i must hold them tight..
-so sad that this has to come to an end..can't wait for exams to quickly end-

like the moon..
always cold always icy..you would never associate warmth with it.
but when the night is darkest and no other sources of light are available..you know you could always count on it to be there to show you the way..
after every 10 steps..you realise the moon is always there at the corner of your eye..following you..
but in truth you are the one who is stationary..and the mobile moon orbiting around you..
when you first take a look at it..you thought it's the nicest thing you have actually seen for a while..
until you take a step back and realise that in the background..there are stars out there shining in the dark night sky.
the nicest way to look at it is through the reflection of the water surface..serene..tranquil..
but there are trying times when all you could manage are broken fragments of a beautiful sight..denied by turbulent waves or a strong wind..
it provides you with an additional companion when you're all alone in the night..in the shape of a shadow..
but when you're under shelter..away from the moon..hiding in the dark..your shadow leaves you..and you find yourself all alone..
a story is told generations upon generations that if you point at the moon..your ears will get cut..
but you'll always be unsure if there is truth in it because you wouldn't take the risk of pointing at it directly..not wanting to face the wrath of the myth..
you look through the astronomy text and you realise there are more than 1 moon in the universe..
but you can't seem to understand how other planets can have more than 1 moon in the orbit..
and just like almost every other thing..
it doesn't remain the same..the sight of it always ranging from a full circle to a crescent..
at times when you thought it will be there to accompany you for the night..
it's most likely to disappoint you by hiding behind the cover of the clouds..
it's just something ordinary..like how the sun is to us in the day..or how a fluorescent lamp is in the night..
but it's more than that for the tides of the sea are affected by the presence of it..
a simple sight..always taken for granted..to be there by your side..
would you ever realise how things could be a little different should it no longer exists?

Rainbow
just came across this poem...i think it's beautiful...
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They’re really saying I love you.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky

I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They’re really saying I love you.

Teen Abortion
okay. i'm not surprise by that statistic. mainly because i believe that adults are more sensible. more rational and they would tend to think about the consequences before committing an act. on the other hand, youths and teens..they are rebellious.. short tempered..hot blooded. so these factors and attributes will only mask their vision of knowing what's black and white, differentiating the right from the wrong. We can't exactly say that a pregnancy is a mistake because an act is a mistake only after we have regrets or remorse with the choices we chose with regards to that matter. A financial anyalyst may make an error of judgement; A hawker can also mixed orders up. And if adults make mistakes, it's only natural for the younger generation to err given the experience that they have and their spirit to want to know more about what is happening around them. The youth is always assocaited with the reckless, just as how the old is associated with being sensible. Of course, youths are also fearless, and the old, boring. It's this indominable spirit that sepearates the young and the old and how youths will only learn from mistakes before maturing into adults. Of course, I'm not saying that we should just plunge blindly into the unknown, hoping that someone will save and show us the way around, or to pick ourselves up after breaking every single bones that we have in our body, because that would be foolish. Instead, just as how we learn to cycle, and to swim, we should seek advice or have some knowledge on that subject. This would come in the form of education which I think is important. (That's the reason why we all have to attend schools isn't it?) It empowers them with the consequences of their actions; how it would make them think twice about doing it for fun when pictures of STD are shown to them, or how they will refrain from the idea of casual sex from testimonials of their predecessors, those who have made a mistake before. Education could come from different forms. It could be from the family, in school, social events, or even in churches. Like the maxim goes, it takes two hands to clap. The act of procreation is not any different. The power of peer pressure shouldn't be estimated, and by educating a larger mass of people, there is a higher chance of reaching out to a larger group and an individual's decision could be influenced by his enlighted peers. The other party might also have a say in the matter and with education, both parties will at least be sure of what they are heading for before making a decision. So I do think that education is important. Of course, not everything will be this simple because we humans are emotional creatures, and that will tend to complicate matters. That's another topic altogether, but in my opinon, the main problem would be how not to think about prevention, but more of deterrence, and education will help with the fastest way to reach out to the mass.
In 2006, there were 12, 000 abortion cases in Singapore. And more than 1, 300 or 10.8% were teens. Are you surprised by this percentage? Why or why not? Do you think educating youths to help them make informed decisions about contraceptions will help solve the problem?
I would like to touch more about religion and beliefs; how it would affecrt an indivual, and the later part about emotions but that will come at a later time ba. Anybody has any comments to add on?
