Month of Ramadan
a friend of mine posted this article 'What Ramadan Teaches Us' on Facebook some time ago. an insightful piece of writing to allow all races to understand what the month of Ramadan is about, beyond abstention from food and drink.
Congrats to my cousin and cousin-in-law who got married on Saturday. Stay loving and happy always! :D

:D
saw this poster in school today. very true indeed. today turned out much better, better than i had expected. :D
smile, it's a beautiful life
things often don't turn out the way you want them to be. the more you hope for and yet they don't happen, the more disappointed you will be.
Though I am having an awesome time going through my 2 weeks of school experience, some minor things which i realised yesterday left me feeling sad and disappointed. there's still time to change, to make things better and i know i will make it at the end of the day. dont give up and keep smiling, it's a beautiful life.

save my world
Lyrics:
Save my World, Save my World
Save my World, Save my World
Save my World, Save my World
As far as you can see
On the land and out to sea
There's something very wrong
And it's time to change
We're going to need (we're going to need)
A helping hand (a helping hand)
We need to save this world
We hope that you can understand
Save my World, Save my World
Save my World, Save my World
We're going to have to clean
Every hill and every stream
If we don't change our ways
It will be too late
Don't make a mess (don't make a mess)
Don't be selfish (don't be selfish)
We need to save our world
For us, the birds and bees and fish
Save my World, Save my World
Save my World, Save my World
Save my World (come on and), Save my World (why won't you)
Save my World (will you please), Save my World (you've got
to)
Save my World (come on and), Save my World (why won't you)
Save my World (will you please), Save my World today!

Title: Tur Yang…
English Title: Do You Still…?
Album: Human
Year: 2011
Chun yang bpen kon tee ruk tur moht jai
I’m still the man who loves you wholeheartedly
Chun yang dai dtae kid teung tur reuay pai
I still can only think of you constantly
Chun yang doo roop taai tee rao chit glai yoo took wan
I still look at our pictures of when we were close everyday
Chun yang ror koi hai tur nan glap mah
I’m still waiting for you to come back
Chun yang gaa bpa-dti-tin took keun wan
I still cross off each day on the calendar
Pror kam dieow ra-ya taang tee mah kwaang gan rao wai
Because one word stood in our way and kept us apart
*Dai dtae kid laaw gor song-sai
I can only think and then wonder
Yoo trong nan tur bpen yaang rai gor mai roo
I have no idea how you’re doing over there
Faak pleng nee hai pai taam tur doo
I’ll send over this song to ask you
Yahk ja roo nai kwarm bpen pai
I want to know what’s going on
**Tur yang kid teung chun took nahtee yoo reu plao
Do you still think of me every single minute?
Tur yang jam reuang rao nai wan waan dai reu mai
Do you still recall yesterday’s memories?
Tur yang mee jai hai chun kon diow
Are you still faithful to only me?
Yang ror chun kae kon diow
Still waiting for only me?
Tur yang kong bpen meuan derm yoo chai mai
You’re still the same person as before, right?
Chuay bauk hai roo tee
Please let me know
Chun glua krai tum hai tur nan plian pai
I’m afraid someone is going to change you
Chun glua sing tee mai nae naun maak maai
I’m afraid of so many uncertain things
Chun glua kam wah sia jai
I’m afraid of regret
Tur ror chun dai chai mai
You can wait for me, right?
Repeat * / **
***Tur yang kid teung chun took waylah yoo reu plao
Do you still think of me all the time?
Tur yang doo roop rao bai derm derm yoo reu mai
Do you still look at our old photographs?
Tur yang mee jai hai chun kon diow

good reads
finished reading the travel memoir 'Eat Pray Love' by Elizabeth Gilbert. frankly speaking, i dont really get the first part (Italy) of the book. found it a little dry and boring. things got better when i reached the second (India) and third (Indonesia) part. gained some insights along the way and thought about what were written. googled some of the characters/information i came across (ketut liyer, wayan nuriyashi, novica...). a good read overall.
'...you cannot see your reflection in running water, only in still water.'
'In our real lives, we are constantly hopping around to adjust ourselves around discomfort - physical, emotional and psychological - in order to evade the reality of grief and nuisance. ...grief and nuisance are inevitable in this life, but if you can plant yourself in stillness long enough, you will, in time, experience the truth that everything (both uncomfortable and lovely) does eventually pass.'
'This is what rituals are for. We do spiritual ceremonies as human beings in order to create a safe resting place for our most complicated feelings of joy or trauma, so that we don't have to haul those feelings around with us forever, weighing us down.'
the next book to read:

4d3n spent at pratunam in bangkok. much planning and research have been done prior to the trip, finding out places to do our shopping, figuring out the routes to take and coming out with our itinerary. however, we didnt manage to visit all the places we have planned to since there was not enough time. but still, this bkk trip was awesome. i'm grateful to ah may of p2 boutique hotel whom has provided us with advices and recommendations of several places we should visit (eg. x2 wanton mee...). she even helped us to 'secure' a cab to chatuchak market after several failed attempts to get one willing to take us there. thank you to the 4 other awesome people for the fun and laugther these few days in bkk. i'm sure we'll be going back again soon and probably this time we shall stay on longer, doing things we have missed out for this trip.

The Lucky One
it has been some time since i last read a book. decided to get myself a novel after a session of badminton on thursday. bought 'The Lucky One' by Nicholas Sparks, which is now a movie being screened in the cinemas. i had read 2 or 3 other books by him previously and found that his books are enjoyable and easy to read.
spent my awesome friday and saturday relaxing on the sofa, indulging in the good book while listening to nice songs being played on the radio. this seems to have some therapeutic effects, countering the frustrations/anxieties we face in busy and fast-paced lifestyle that we are leading. now that i have finished reading it, i guess i'd need to hunt for more books to keep me companied for the looong holiday!

Outward Bound Singapore
5 days of fun and laughter on the small island of pulau ubin. similar to any other camps, we did outdoor activities such as the high elements, kayaking, trekking, field cooking and many others. however, the only difference was that we played two different roles throughout the course, not only as a participant but also as a teacher. Different theories were taught and I gained a lot during these 5 days, especially technical matters such as doing RAMs or expedition planning. More specifically, i know more about outdoor education and its importance in developing the character and potential of an individual. noting down several new insights gained throughout the camp, i hope i can still remember them by the time i am out in the school teaching PE or engaging in outdoor education. on the last day of the camp, there was an activity where all of us will proceed from station to station reflecting on what we had done and gained from the past 4 days. one particular station requires us to think about values that are important to you in your personal and work life. this was something refreshing for me, reminding myself about the values which i believe will guide me to be a better person, a better teacher in the near future.
i like:
1) the way we always have reflections after each activities and everyone gets a chance to share what's on their mind, linking it to our daily life or even applying it to our working life when we are in schools.
2) the fact that our instructors (Gek Fong and Iskandar) are always well-prepared, engaging (putting in effort to make boring lectures into interesting ones) and confident in facilitating the activities conducted.
3) everyone in my watch (Dhana Balan). thank you for helping each other out and making this experience a memorable one.

a letter and a gift from 'YY fan club' :D
Here's a quote i came across from the book 'Manual of the Warrior of Light' by Paulo Coelho during the camp:
A warrior of light shares his world
A warrior of light shares his world with the people he loves.
He tries to encourage them to do the things they would like to do but for which they lack the courage; at such times, the Enemy appears holding two wooden signs in his hand.
On one sign is written: 'Think about yourself. Keep all the blessings for yourself, otherwise you'll end up losing everything.'
On the other sign, he reads: 'Who do you think you are, helping other people? Can't you see your own faults?'
A warrior knows that he has faults. But he knows too that he cannot do his growing alone and thus distance himself from his companions.
Therefore, he throws the two signs to the floor, even if he thinks they may contain a grain of truth. The signs crumble into dust, and the warrior continues to encourage those nearest him.

Music Of The Night - Sarah Brightman
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before
Softly, deftly music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness that you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Only then can you belong to me
Floating, falling sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before
Softly, deftly music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness that you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Only then can you belong to me
Floating, falling sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

The Invisible Workforce Behind This City
This video reminds me of a post i wrote previously.
Working Hard (posted on Wednesday, 28 September 2011)
9:33pm
i went for a run. saw these 3 bangladeshi workers painting the bus-stop.
10:27pm
i was on my way home from the run. the 3 bangladeshi workers still working hard painting the bus-stop. some thoughts went through my mind. often, we like to make fun of these bangladeshi workers because they are employed to do jobs which probably not many singaporeans would want to. they sometimes work in the wee hours when everyone is sleeping soundly as well. let's imagine that these bangladeshi workers arent around for a week, how would our lives be? honestly, we ought to thank them and recognise their effort in contributing to our society.

two zero one one
it's the last day of 2011. looking back at the past 1 year, there was a transition of the different phases in life, from completing the 22 months of national service to starting my tertiary education. a soldier back to a student again. I'm glad that i was able to make it through to the local uni. there're also several groups of people and friends whom i met throughout the year. staff & kids from the carecorner ssc, pess orientation group mates, GESL group mates, pess classmates and many others. without them, i doubt that my 2011 will be as fun and exciting as what i have experienced so far. at the same time, not forgetting about the old friends who have been there all along, we have known each other for another year and definitely there're many more years ahead for our friendship to continue to blossom.
2011 has been an awesome year and i'm content with what i have during this period, be it little or be it much. thank you to everyone who have been part of my life in 2011 and we shall have a great 2012 ahead together! :D

the funniest video in 2011 which never fails to make me laugh
And I won’t let go, if you wait for me
Whenever - Black Eyed Peas
Love, through the tree, past the sky
Beyond the northern lights
You will see my delight
Reflecting in your eyes
And I won't let go, if you wait for me
whenever, whatever
And then you, select the destination
whenever, whatever
I'll go
whenever, wherever
I'll go
I want, I want, I wanna love forever, love forever, baby
Whenever, wherever, you wanna go one day
To do whatever, do whatever, baby
Whenever, wherever, forever together
I fell asleep, don't know why you let me come alive
You and me, we collide, ignite the starry fire
And you warm me up and you wait for it
whenever, whatever
And you wake me up and you wait for it
whenever, whatever
I wanna go
whenever, wherever
I wanna go
I want, I want, I wanna love forever, love forever, baby
Wherever, wherever you wanna go one day
Do whatever, do whatever, baby
Wherever, wherever, forever together
Whenever, whatever, whatever, whatever
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever
I love you forever and ever and always I love you
Whenever you need me, I'll be there right by you
Whenever you call me, I'm there when you call
Whenever you're falling, I'm there when you fall
Wherever you're going, I'll be right there showing
Our love's always growing and growing and growing
I know that you know it, there's no need for guessing
When I am requested I'm there with no questions
As I'll go, wherever, whenever
If ever you need me I'll be here forever
Love, through the tree, past the sky
Beyond the northern lights
You will see my delight
Reflecting in your eyes
And I won't let go, if you wait for me
whenever, whatever
And then you, select the destination
whenever, whatever
I'll go
whenever, wherever
I'll go
I want, I want, I wanna love forever, love forever, baby
Whenever, wherever, you wanna go one day
To do whatever, do whatever, baby
Whenever, wherever, forever together
I fell asleep, don't know why you let me come alive
You and me, we collide, ignite the starry fire
And you warm me up and you wait for it
whenever, whatever
And you wake me up and you wait for it
whenever, whatever
I wanna go
whenever, wherever
I wanna go
I want, I want, I wanna love forever, love forever, baby
Wherever, wherever you wanna go one day
Do whatever, do whatever, baby
Wherever, wherever, forever together
Whenever, whatever, whatever, whatever
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever
I love you forever and ever and always I love you
Whenever you need me, I'll be there right by you
Whenever you call me, I'm there when you call
Whenever you're falling, I'm there when you fall
Wherever you're going, I'll be right there showing
Our love's always growing and growing and growing
I know that you know it, there's no need for guessing
When I am requested I'm there with no questions
As I'll go, wherever, whenever
If ever you need me I'll be here forever

The turtle moves slowly and is happy with his pace of life
we are rushing through life, arent we? i was observing how everyone walks the other day at dhoby ghaut mrt station and noticed that most of the people were walking rather fast as though they were rushing to somewhere. i believe at times, we have to slow down our pace of life and appreciate what's around us. the things we have and the people who are always there for us when we need help. the busy and hectic life we are leading now often numb our senses, making us oblivious to things happening around us. sometimes, we just got to know how to feel, not only about ourselves, but also to feel for others as well.
How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?

You Are The Apple Of My Eye
好想告诉你，你永远是我心中的沈佳宜
那些年 - 胡夏
又回到最初的起点
记忆中你青涩的脸
我们终于来到了这一天
桌垫下的老照片
无数回忆连结
今天男孩要赴女孩最后的约
又回到最初的起点
呆呆地站在镜子前
笨拙系上红色领带的结
将头发梳成大人模样
穿上一身帅气西装
等会儿见你一定比想像美
好想再回到那些年的时光
回到教室座位前后 故意讨你温柔的骂
黑板上排列组合 你舍得解开吗
谁与谁坐他又爱着她
那些年错过的大雨
那些年错过的爱情
好想拥抱你 拥抱错过的勇气
曾经想征服全世界
到最后回首才发现
这世界滴滴点点全部都是你
那些年错过的大雨
那些年错过的爱情
好想告诉你 告诉你我没有忘记
那天晚上满天星星
平行时空下的约定
再一次相遇我会紧紧抱着你
紧紧抱着你

times are hard
"trying to make it work but man these times are hard"
the past 2, 3 weeks were the hardest times i have been through for this semester. exam, quiz, class test, assignment and essay all at one go. i have been staying in hall over the weekend to finish up my assignment and to study for exams. i'm relieved that the hectic period is already over. final term exam's taking place this week and next week. 2 papers down and 2 more to go.
it's a sad thing that sometimes, results/grades don't reflect how much effort you have put in to study and learn what you need to. that's life and it's never fair. but still, i'll just do my best and whatever i can. hopefully everything will turn out fine.

Welcome Home - Radical Face
there's something special about this song that makes me want to listen to it over and over again. i just keep on replaying it.
Welcome Home - Radical Face (video)
Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun
And the days blur into one
And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done
Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass
Was never much but we've made the most
Welcome home
Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names but most do not
If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lost
Peel the scars from off my back
I don't need them anymore
You can throw them out or keep them in your mason jars
I've come home
All my nightmares escaped my head
Bar the door, please don't let them in
You were never supposed to leave
Now my head's splitting at the seams
And I don't know if I can

For The First Time - The Script
She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar
And we don't know how
How we got in to this mad situation
Only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
She needs me now but I can't seem to find a time
I've got a new job now on the unemployment line,
And we don't know how
How we got into this mess is it gods test
Someone help us cause we're doing our best
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
She's in line at the door
With her head held high
While I just lost my job but
Didn't lose my pride
But we both know how
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts
When you pick yourself up
You get kicked to the dirt
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Doing things we haven't for a while
A while yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying thing we haven't for a while
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting, for the first time
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

working hard
9:33pm
i went for a run. saw these 3 bangladeshi workers painting the bus-stop.
10:27pm
i was on my way home from the run. the 3 bangladeshi workers still working hard painting the bus-stop. some thoughts went through my mind. often, we like to make fun of these bangladeshi workers because they are employed to do jobs which probably not many singaporeans would want to. they sometimes work in the wee hours when everyone is sleeping soundly as well. let's imagine that these bangladeshi workers arent around for a week, how would our lives be? honestly, we ought to thank them and recognise their effort in contributing to our society.
seeing the 3 bangladeshi workers working hard at this hour, i felt a little guilty since i have been slacking at times when i should be studying hard. let this be a lesson learnt and serves as a reminder for me to work hard as well.
tomorrow is the start of PSLE. i wish the children from carecorner and yishun student service centre (SHG) all the best. i know all of you have spent a lot of time preparing for this exam. give it your best and i'm sure everything will go smoothly! 加油!

City Of Blinding Lights - U2
City Of Blinding Lights - U2
The more you see, the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now
Neon heart day-glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see
I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time...time...time...time...time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The more you know, the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel
luckily
The more you see, the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now
Neon heart day-glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see
I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time...time...time...time...time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The more you know, the less you feel
