The FinaL Lap to a Chapter

2012. A brand new year, has come. The crossover is but the typicaL repetition of 365 days, and reminiscent the events that happened in the previous year.


2011. A year of the past. Nothing more than memories. A LargeLy tedious year with Lots of commitments to work and studies on one hand, sweet moments, too, on the other!


A finaL sprint to the end of another chapter promises a fresh new beginning in the Life of the owner.. a moment that's been a Long time coming. TiL then, enjoy Living Life as it shouLd!


In Love, we trust. In Love, sometimes we hurt. But in Love, we find the invisibLe wings that have been the pivot of support through aLL times.


That is why, I cherish You.. thank you, for being everything that I wasn't. For aLL that you gave, you deserve my dedication to our very future! =)

Dream A LittLe

I aLways wanted to feeL free; as I was when I chose to serve my army in Taiwan for a year. That was to be the best part of my Life.

Now, as we aLL grow oLder, we tend to forget what Life is about.. to Laugh, and to Live and Love aLL the stuff we Loved doing.

I didn't forget.. but Like everyone eLse, with commitments apLenty.. choice is niL.

The Boy

He is weLL. In fact, very weLL. Except the part where Life has entered another phrase, and this Boy is no Longer as naive and young as He used to be.

The Boy wiLL be back with more updates once a whiLe.. in the meantime, stay happy and Live Life the way it shouLd be!

A Process

They say this is what I have to do, and so here I am, trying to get the books into my head. Eight months have Lapsed since I embarked on further education, but somehow, I stiLL detest the process. Is this what I want to do? Or what I have to do?

As a simpLe man, my Life was happy .. I get to save money, I get to traveL, I get to meet peopLe. Why, in the first pLace, do I change this? If I couLd turn everything back again, I wouLd have stayed. That said, the past one year since the change effected has not been wasted. Good peopLe in the new workpLace, nice cLassmates, a very supportive girLfriend and foLks.

SeriousLy aLL ingredients are in for me to pursue that paper everyone thinks is a necessity as much as I beg to differ. Let me try, but I stiLL yearn for my freedom to roam.

Life's simpLy too short to waste.

A Lesson

A few days back I had attended cLass for my bacheLor program. Its the fifth week aLready and this semester has gone somewhat pretty swiftLy.

Mr. JAP (John AruL PauL) is our Lecturer for this moduLe, Advanced Human Resource Management. As usuaL, the man, in his sixties, with his common formaL wear and specs, is giving an utmost specific Lesson. He never misses a point or another as he aLways repeats himseLf.

The evening cLass was the usuaL. He covered his topics, and he went through the muLtipLe-choice questions, fLashing them on the projector, going around asking the students for answers. On each question, he had stated at the end of the question where in the textbook the answer couLd be found. It was my turn to answer, and so I read the question, referred to the page and started to Look for the answer, as the whoLe cLass did concurrentLy.

I gave an answer, then he paused Looking at me, and said, "why did you go through the whoLe page when I have aLready given you the answer.." Then, the whoLe cLass reaLised that at the end of the question, after the reference page was a LittLe aLphabet 'a'.

Mr. JAP added, "many a time, we aLL don't see what is right in front of us, and then spend so much effort Looking for it..." His statement might not have been heard by many as cLearLy, but I did.

Sometimes, or most of the time (according to Mr. JAP), we keep working hard for things we beLieve are things that we want, but at the end of the day, the most important things that we reaLLy want, are just right there, yet we do not see it.

This Lesson, is priceLess, at Least, to me.

The Journey

And so we aLways hear, that what matters is not the destination but the journey that brings us to it. WeLL, this can onLy be true.

We are aLL doing what we beLieve is for a better tomorrow .. that paper, cLimbing thae corporate Ladder, saving up for marriage, housing, buiLd a famiLy, retirement and the List goes on. No, we wiLL not know when and where the finaL destination wiLL be, but everyone keeps moving aLong.

Of course, just Like what we study in the marketing cLasses of the Product Life cycLe - Introduction, Growth, Maturity, DecLine .. Life has its own cycLe as weLL - Birth, Age, Sickness, Death. Everything that has a beginning, has an end, though, it might just sound pessimistic to some. However, if you have Learnt to accept reaLity, Life wiLL very much be easier, and probabLy happier.

Our journeys in Life are aLL unique, and very much infLuenced by the existence of every other thing eLse. Anyone that appears in your Life, pLays a roLe in shaping your future, aLthough the impact might not be there to be seen. I am happy, aLL the time, whenever I think of the peopLe around me that answers my hierachy of needs, the most important, being my mother, of whom, as my Life moves on, the roLe wiLL be passed on to that SpeciaL someone.

I cant thank destiny and Cupid more than enough, for shooting the arrow of Love right into me, onto DeL .. She is simpLy one word to describe - unique. ObviousLy, Love is bLind and peopLe in Love choose to onLy see the good things, but isnt that better? We shouLd aLways try to see things in the positive Light, for nothing is perfect.

On the eve of VaLentine's, as I am writing this, my girLfriend is working her sLeeves off since a month ago for this heartLands Chingay event. I hope, everything goes weLL for her and she deserves a good break thereafter.

On another personaL note, gratitude is something which I feLt Lacking in the urban LifestyLe as ours. We are taking the good for granted, and often, onLy focusing on what goes wrong. It shouLdnt be. This cuLture has to change.

As the Chinese ceLebrates Lunar New Year, Let us hope the rabbit year wiLL be bountifuL for aLL. I wish you aLL the best, and as Singapore's very own "Mother Theresa" said at the Chingay which I was present Last night, "Love ALL" .. and Love we shouLd, beginning with the peopLe that matters most.

The End of 2010 - Into the year of the Unknown

As I age, I bLog Less. With time, the emergence of the many sociaL mediums such as Facebook and Twitter, coupLed with the voLatiLity of the current worLd where aLmost everything changes every singLe day, bLogging sure has taken a step back.

The good thing is I have not given it up.. at Least, the commitment of one post per month is certain. The sad thing is, its reaLLy difficuLt to spare time, sit down, reLax and manage my thoughts to put down in this space. SureLy, renown bLoggers can onLy be femaLes as we cannot deny the fact that sex does seLL.

As usuaL, many things have come fast and furious .. I have gone for my knee op which went pretty smooth, but have to keep my fingers crossed that I can get back to soccer once again as no one knows if it wiLL heaL normaLLy.

Back to schooL now for a brand new semester, hopefuLLy time can be better managed now that I am taking onLy two moduLes, and that work can cut me some sLack. Otherwise changes have to come in pLace for a baLance.

Right now though, for myseLf, the new year can be said to be unpredictabLe. But personaL goaLs have been set aside; studies .. voLunteering at the Community CLub .. my reLationship with DeL .. going back to footbaLL .. getting a big fat bonus in JuLy, and hopefuLLy by the end it, I can Look back and say, this has been a pretty good year afteraLL!

Have a great year ahead, peopLe.

Twenty-Fifth of December

This date is not simpLy a date with Santa CLaus and his seven reindeers, but another magicaL ceLebration of one vitaL aspect of Life - L.O.V.E.

UnknowningLy, I have been together with this speciaL girL for seven months aLready. As we aLways put it, the amount of time does not necessary depict the deepness of how two person feeL for each other. SadLy not aLL reLationships end in a fairytaLe .. an oLd friend just ended one of seven years due to infLuence from the externaL environment.

For me though, for as far as we both can, I'm sure we can keep it going strong and sweet.

For the rest of you out there though, have a merry Xmas and may the presents come Loading up and get your Boxing Day busy!

Seasons greetings, one and aLL.

Time for a Xmassy Affair
Merry Christmas, have fun, Love, Laughter and Lots of Joy!

Here We Go .. Into The Month of the Year

FinaLLy a breather from aLL the studies for a whiLe, I wouLd think that going into the best month of the year wiLL definiteLy bring about more joy than ever!

Its been Long since I can reaLLy take time to sit down and organise thoughts. It used be so damn easy, but then, Life cannot aLways be at the same stage and we aLways move on.

I wish I couLd share the many good things that have happened now, however, time does not permit as its time to hit the sack and say good night.

Stay tuned for more updates!

The WaLk

Today. It was drizzLing, a LittLe heavy, but Less than a shower. I had just enjoyed my haircut at the neighbourhood saLoon and went home to take a short bath before I head to find my Love who had to work through the Saturday aLone.

In Life, every singLe day is a Learning process. It has been ages since I Last wrote, and write I must, I toLd myseLf as sharing is itseLf a reference for others. But where do I begin, and how do I end? Sometimes, the writing just didnt happen, and that, in the Last few years, has seen the posts in this bLog dwindLe.

I took a smaLL broLLy, enough to cover two heads and Left home. Home, with three occupants Dad, Mum and sis, has pretty much been the same, except for the eLdest son being away for most of the time due to commitments to work, and studies, and buiLding a speciaL reLationship with a speciaL girL. No doubt the fondness of the famiLiarity is very much no different, at this phrase in Life, I can onLy spend that much time at home.

As I waLked through the rain weLL covered by the broLLy, each step I took against the rippLes that hit the ground, I Looked back through the many, many events that have occured over the past few months. I am gLad to be Living Life to my fuLLest, however, I cannot say the same for achievements .. which are but few.

Of course, I am happy with Life, but there are somewhat stiLL Lots of things to do, to see, and to to heLp make the worLd much better than just improving my own Life. I do not need to hide, or create a positive image here for anyone to see, its just whats from the heart.

When opportunities arise, anybody can make someone eLse's Life much better just by doing a LittLe bit more. For exampLe, giving a doLLar to a hunchback eLderLy seLLing tissue packs, and this couLd mean haLf a meaL to her .. but its just another cup of coffee for you and I.

Let us do what we can, if we want, to heLp peopLe who are not as Lucky. For every bit of good you do, you have definiteLy Left a great impact to the person you have heLped.

For myseLf, in time to come when my "chores" are done, or when the chance comes, I wouLd, give back to the worLd what the worLd has given me.

Cheers, and enjoy the finaL months of 2010.

5


On this day, five months ago, I'm gLad I found Her. For the Love, Laughter and Life She brought unto me, as I beLieved its aLL been deepLy feLt within, beyond words.

.. as for the question about the smeLL Like the first day and the Light that never goes out .. it cannot be anyone eLse but You.

Not Long, but its a good start nonetheLess, and this is one thing that cannot be measured by quantity but quaLity. Happy 5th, my dearest.


There is a Light that never goes out ..
.. and there is a constant that doesn't change.

Breathing Hard

Work and studies, the two activities that take up pretty much of my time apart from spending a good weekend with Love, in and out, Less those that I have to rush projects and assignments.

As time goes by, sometimes I get jaded, other times, I find confidence through good cLassmates and of course, Her.

I'm not sure if I can see studies through, for it sure is starting to take a toLL on my heaLth as I get unweLL easiLy these days, signs of a Low naturaL body resistence against bugs. However, I'm just appreciating the fact that despite the changes that took pLace, many things in my Life are stiLL somewhat intact.

If She decides to stand by me through, I wiLL not Let Her down, and fuLfiL the job a responsibLe man has to do.

I Love Her, its true.

Going Easy & Not

ALbeit aLL the good things that are happening and have happened, the writer is somewhat stiLL not convinced that whatever he is doing now, might have a major impact on the future of his. They caLL this the mid-20s crisis where changes seem to come constantLy where you never know what happens next.

No doubt he has a pLan, but this pLan seems to be just what everyone eLse around is doing .. to get the paper and grab a higher pay job, which sounds Like what Tom, Dick and Harry are aLL working on. But no, Jon does not want to foLLow the norm, even though it sounds stupid. One Life is aLL you have got, and you just have to do something you reaLLy Love doing, or that shouLd not be caLLed Life.

If the current environment is going to change the way he Lives Life, probabLy, he wiLL just forgo everything and chase something he aLways thought was fuLfiLing .. one, to answer the needs of the needy and two, seek to understand the true meaning of seLf-actuaLisation.

On the other hand, he has been reaLLy gratefuL that somehow, in this Life, he found true Love. And for that Love of his, he wiLL decide his Life properLy and do his best to not Let her down.

The future can be said to be uncertain even as we pLan for it, there is LittLe doubt about that. But that doesnt mean we shouLd stop here, or simpLy foLLow the norm. Think it through, and decide how best your Life shouLd be Lived and Leave no regrets.


P.S You are, just the way You are .. and thats why I Love You.

A Minute

Its been a whiLe since I sat down and pen down my thoughts for the past few weeks, or months rather.

With about four hours to go before I pLay brother to Kenneth's Big Day, I suppose I wouLd just spend a minute on a bLog that is pretty much forgotten.

Embarking on part time studies since September came into the frame is something that has changed the way I Live my Life, and in turn affected the peopLe around me as a resuLt. I am stiLL very thankfuL that I have an understanding partner who choose to aLways stand by me, despite myseLf occassionaLLy being negative about how the way some things have gone.

PeopLe say that we onLy know what we have got untiL its gone, but I beg to differ. I do treasure and appreciate every LittLe thing that my Love has done every singLe day, despite Her being LabeLLed by me as a "hopeLess un-romantic", She is aLL I ever wanted.

I wish, and hope that everything can go as good as they are, smooth and head for the much better.

Peace out.

Change

These months, Life has been wonderfuL thus far; I have found a stabLe job, am in a happy reLationship, my famiLy are supportive of whatever choices I made and I get to catch up with the peeps once a whiLe at their matches now that I am not abLe to pLay.

But come September, there wiLL be a sLight addition to my LifestyLe - studies.

It wouLd LiteraLLy change the way I manage my time now and deep down, I do hope that despite that being priority, the more important things in my Life are here to stay.

As a Laid back simpLeton, I seriousLy hate changes, but for the better, we need to adjust and adapt.

Things can onLy be good, and better.


P.S to the gf,
Even as the roads do not aLways seem smooth,
You chose to traveL it with Me.
Thanks for your consistent support, Love, and confidence.

SpeciaL Something

When Times Change

I remembered myseLf as one who Loved reading fiction so much that every book I read, I got fascinated and start to write a Lot as weLL. No doubt, reading had given me a creative fLair that I somewhat seem to have Lost, with time.

As the enthusiastic reader ages and get busier, with Less time, he has since stopped reading books. Writing is now reduced Like an endangered specie on the brink of extinction.

That shouLd not happen, for reading is a joy, and gives one much pLeasure and at times, bring him to a worLd of fantasy, away from the crueLty of reaLity.

Maybe, he shouLd just start hoLding a book once again.
