DOLCE VITA : THE SWEET LIFE

01/01/2012 2011 was a year i cannot describe. A year that has became a platform to so many things. A year I started off counting down in a bar. A year where I learnt to work and earn and communicate heartily with customers. A year where I went back to my hometown after 10 years, and very unfilial, as it was for a funeral. A year where I see my biological dad after 10 years, and tore down the protective walls I built over the years. A year where we spent CNY so differently because of the family politics that divided them all. A year where I got my driving license after a double test. :) A year where I had an unofficially unofficial status. A year where I enrolled into St. Michael's Institution as a sixth former. A year where I ironically joined the prefectorial board. A year where I was a candidate for the top six exco members. A year where I had an unofficially official status. A year where I had a short-lived officially official status. A year where I learnt that things can just d...

01/01/2012 It just occured to me, I dont get to see people I want to see this two recent newyear's eve. Oh well. And HAPPY 26TH BIRTHDAY TO SMY SELF-ACCLAIMED HUBBY SUNGMIN OPPA. OR 27TH CUS IN KOREA IT'S PLUS ONE. SAENGILCHUKAHAE NAEGA JJINJA NEOMU SARANGHAE! ♥ -was going through his pictures; i could always never get myself to choose one. so i'll just be done with my wishes literally. And of course; STPM #1; everything else #2. Including all these ridiculous things going on in me . Sigh. I wont let it happen. I wont. I trust myself enough. :) p/s: Dont make bullcrap resolutions; make your word your world. period.

(06/11/2011) The first thing Choo told me when she briefed me for this camp a few days back was; "OK, first, bring alot alot alot alot alot of dry food." *jawdropstotheground* thehell? Started our journey at around 9.30am with all 10 of us, except for Chiang who couldnt make it last-minute. holding the 'au naturel' mosquito repelling plant. Drove all the way there and meet up with Pastor Jack before entering the settlement. Gees, we were wishing we had a Pajero like him. I mean cmon, pity Shassi's white Viva Elite. (Was in josh's car, a Sunny!) It went through much ups and downs (pun intended) after the tar road ended outside the settlement. As if dirt road was not bad enough, there were massive potholes and what, stone covered roads in the middle of the journey. Phewwww. Took us an half an hour till we reach the spot to cross the bridge (If you Googled, you'll know how scary it looks.) and half an hour more to reach the midd...

(24/11/2011) Mr Palan said something that goes roughly like this; "I dont hope for all of you to change after what i said, but i only hope for 10% of all of you guys here to really get and practice what we've learned today. And 10% is only 7 out of 74 of you all here." It was actually, heart breaking. To know how some actually thought that LTC was, in fact, a pure waste of time. And all this and all that. Sigh. But then i remembered what Mr. Palan said. And i thought to myself, Why focus on that 1% or 10% of them who didnt appreciate LTC, instead of the huge 99% or 90% prefects who had a great time, and actually comprehended the message behind LTC? Whatever it was, at least i knew those who really cared for this big, big family and actually is part of the family, and even some coming from the ones i least expected. In fact, i began to realise, the board is actually a tiny replica of how the corporations of the outside world is. How there will always b...

(23/11/2011) LTC. it wasnt the best, it wasnt perfect, it had flaws, it had mistakes, it has its share of ups and downs, but i still thank God that there was definitely an outcome. DAY 1. getting screwed by the end of the day wasnt the best thing that could happen, especially when it is something that concerns our responsibility and credibility. getting the screwing in a way that wasnt so like-able or acceptable by everyone is making things even worser. and FINALLY getting the screwing when the problem has been there all the while, i actually think that well, yeah, at least it's being brought up, although in such a way. but it has to, like sooner or later. and it finally did. and heck, my first breakdown for prefectorial board. sighs. Day 2. pretty tensed up when the Big Boss is around. but yeah, just chill down and absorb what today's speaker, Mr. Palan, has to say. The moment he said, "Begin with an end in mind", im like "HEY!". ...

(01/11/2011) Left my Halloween post at an "unfinished" status. i forgot what i else i was gonna write. it's okay. it's just the same for every other posts, when the mind gets so active at night and starts constructing line after line, when the frustration, the hyperness gets hijacked and bubbled wayyyy up, AND i dont type it in my draft, i just forget everything the next day. It's good in a way i guess, you dont keep the vengeance or the grudge or whatever thats bugging you overnight. Nice. period.

(01/11/2011) When they say that we know whats best for ourselves, they werent kidding. When a menopausal woman comes into conflict with a pms lady, the former will keep talking shiz and the latter will either talk back, or she'll walk away while mimicking the other's talking-shiz-mode face. *and lots of rolled eyes thrown in, no doubt. Females. *shrugs. Best not to ignite them atm, fellas. period.
