[[Graduation Day]]

Holy shit!!!

Damn...I juz typed quite a long entry and this stupid blogger says my blog can't be found~!!

Oh my god...and I can't even retrieve it. Since when did blogger become so inefficient?

So...now what? I can't really really every thing that I wrote juz now. Sighx...

I guess I'll juz do a summary. And as the title suggests, yes, I'm going to talk about Graduation Day.

Pardon me for being 2 days late. But I've been pretty busy of late. Yes...the same old excuse. But hey, at least I've found time to type in an entry.

And when I do, this blogger has to let me down.

Back to my topic, isn't everyone glad that we have all graduated? After 3 years of very hard work (yes...as if), we've finally gotten that coverted (yeah right) diploma. And so, as we took our turn to step onto the stage and enjoy our momentarily spot of limelight, we descend down the stage and out of the 3 years we were to remember as our poly life with a bang.

I think I really miss almost every single moment of these 3 years. There were joys, pains, frustrations...every single feeling you could think of. And everyone of those moments, those landmarks, were meant for me to carry for the rest of my life.

Especially the times when we guys would juz sit down and chill out. It is may be a very simple and casual thing, but it feels so great to be updated with each other's ongoings. Everything is fuss and stress-free. And it never cost that much money.

So, I'm really looking forward to Adam's birthday celebration. It is another chance for everyone to gather and talk about anything and everything. No doubt after that the next chance for everyone to meet up would be pretty distant, that's why I know I had to go and would certainly enjoy myself.

And I hope the guys would feel the same way too. I know they would.

And yeah...I know I haven't been updating this blog so often. Don't blame me!! Cos sometimes I really can't think of what to say. There's really nothing very interesting happening in my life right now. Dead serious!!

So, till the next time. Byez~!!

[[Phantom of the Road]]

I've got my vehicle~!!

Yes~!! My very own vehicle~!!

Ok...maybe a bike is not so impressive, but at least I'm paying it on my own. One always take more pride in the things they work hard rather than things that are...erm...god sent.

It may not be a brand new bike, it may not be in the very best condition. Heck...it's not even the best bike around and it's a blue Phantom!! But I still love it~!!

Well...because it's mine.

Anyway, it was the first time I rode on the expressway juz now. Have to admit that it feels kinda dangerous when you see that the vehicles around you all seem so much bigger in size. And man...riding at 100km/h with the wind blowing into you certainly feels cold...and somewhat painful.

So...I guess I'll not ride so fast. One is for safety, the other is not to torture myself with the cold. Haha...but the feeling of speed really is great. But you need a life to enjoy it, isn't that so? =)

Juz praying that it won't rain tomorrow. If not, there won't be anyway I'll be able to ride to work. And it's gonna be a real long ride. Somehow, that feels like it's gonna be much more tiring than taking public transport.

But who cares? At least I don't have to squeeze with so many people now. Well...that is provided the weather is not too harsh to ride.

No more worries about transport home when I go out late~!! Hehz...that is really one huge perk when you have a vehicle. Sorry to the cabbies out there. *bleahz*

Oh yeah...almost forget to thank my good friend, Yao Teck. For accompanying me down to pick up my bike. It really feels much better to have a friend ride back along with you, especially the first time riding on your own bike, not to mention travelling on the expressway during peak hours. Thanks man~!!

Alrighty...I guess that's about it. Hope to have more experiences to talk about in future. Till then, take care everyone~!! *sMiLeZ*

[[Thoughts...]]

Time for another weekly update of this blog.

Actually intended to post something last night, but when I logged in my mind juz went totally blank. It's like there is something to say but nothing to say at the same time. Ok...that sounds like a load of rubbish.

But yeah...probably there are things to talk about but I don't know how to pen it down. Surprising for someone who always claims that he expresses himself so much better with written than spoken words.

So tempted to talk and bitch about stuff at work, but I juz find it simply wrong to talk about any employer in public. Anyway, I have less than 2 months left at work. It will be over pretty soon. Can't say that I can't wait to leave the place, because I've met some wonderful people there and would sorely miss them when it's my turn wear the camo no. 4.

But work is still, nonetheless, really stressful. It juz builds up in your mind, your body, your soul. And relieving yourself of it seems like a really tough thing to do.

Growing up really kinda sucks. It's a little hard to adapt to a situation where, suddenly, you seem to be responsible to yourself. Such a contrast when you think back to the time while you were only 14 or 15 and can't wait to break free from your parents and do whatever you wish.

Now that the responsibility is lifted off your parents' shoulders and transferred to your own, some find it hard to get used to it. I'm still dependent on my parents for a lot of matters, but suddenly the feeling is I'm in charge of my own life. Things like when your parents stop asking you where you are going, why you hung out with your friends till the wee hours in the morning...

Like a flash of lightning, it happens so quickly. It may seem like they don't bother anymore, but truth be told is that they trust you are old enough to be your own supervisor. And though most of the times you enjoy the freedom of not feeling obliged to answer to them, there are also times when you wish they would be slightly more concerned with what and how you are doing.

I'm not berating about the manner in which I was brought up, because I thought my parents couldn't have done a much better job. However, if there was one thing I ever wish to change, it is that I would have hoped they would be more open-minded and be able to talk to me like a friend. And I believe I would still uphold my respect for them as parents even though the relationship becomes much more lik e what I have with my friends.

I was told recently that I wouldn't know how much you are willing to go for someone until the day when you come across the person who you feel is really the right one for you. This after I commented that it is pure dumbness of someone to consider suicide when his/her relationship with their desired better half did not work out.

Felt so much to, at that point of time, give my friend a piece of my mind about her comments. I can't say that I'm 100% certain, but at least I feel pretty sure that I had come across that situation in my life. I know how far I can go for that certain someone, but surely, suicide is definitely not rationale at all. So what if it works once? Will it work twice? What's the point of getting someone back through blackmail?

For sure, I can't say my methods are right. I mean, to each his own. But I juz feel that if you really love someone and you are meant to be, you can never avoid it no matter how far and fast you try to run away. If you are not meant to be, why don't juz offer that person your blessings and move on? You need not forget the person, not even the feelings you once had for him/her. Keep it as a positive memory to last you through your whole life and you might live happier.

What's the point of feeling sad all the time? It's not gonna change anything, isn't it? Better off to spend the time feeling sad to search for happiness, ain't it so?

Oh gosh...that's a long entry I had juz typed. See, once my fingers started ramming the keyboard it seems so tough to stop. All right, I'm juz gonna reserve whatever else I have left for another entry, lest I find that I have nothing to update in the next week again.

Till the next time, take care everyone~!

It's not fate that I believe in, it's destiny.

[[***Drumrolls***]]

And now.........................

Staring into your eyes......................

Weighing at 132 pounds..........................

As of 4th July 2005........................

He is the holder of not one...........................

But TWO.......................

TWO..........................

TWO licences....................

The Class 3 and Class 2B...................

He is.........................

He is none other..................

Than...................

ME~!! ME~!! ME~!!

Muahahahaha...juz wanna make a nuisance of myself. Why? Because I passed my bike test today~!!!

Hohohohoho...what a genius~!!

Lolx...I'm juz kidding man. Juz feel happy that I've finally passed my bike test. No need to waste anymore money on it~!!

Guess what's the next thing I'm gonna do?

That is anybody's guess. Hehz...

Jealous of me? Nahz...don't be. It's only two licences. Anyone can do it if they want to. It's only a matter of time...

And money. Yes...what else...

Nothing so great about two licences though. The only good thing I see from it is it allows me the chance to get my own transport sooner than expected and allows flexibility.

So...I'm gonna wait one more year...and then...

And then...

Super 4, HERE I COME~!!!

[[Initial D~!!]]

Juz came back from watching Initial D. Acutally, I went to slack with Evon (whom I watched the movie with) for quite some time before coming back.

The show was GREAT~!! I love the cars, I love the racing~!! Man...it is so damn cool~!!

Almost didn't manage to catch the show actually, because it was a pretty last minute decision. Checked the listings at around 4+ and saw there's a 7:10pm show at Jurong Point. So I rushed down and reached at like 7:05pm to get the tickets. I don't know whether it is a blessing, but for the first time, I appreciated the fact that Golden Village always start their movies late.

This is the second movie I've watched this week, the earlier one being War of the Worlds. Pretty disappoting in the story line, but the effects were superb. What else can you expect from Steven Spielberg?

Fantastic 4 is coming up soon, and that is another must watch. Movies, movies, movies. There isn't really much to do in Singapore. Maybe that's why watching movies is like a favourite pastime for so many people here.

After so much pumping action for 110 minutes, I almost forgot that my bike test is tomorrow. Third attempt already, and it still seems like I might not be able to pass. Sighx...this country is really stringent in passing any forms of motorists. The least they can do if they don't want so many motorists on the roads is to not raise the price of the bloody transport services here.

Bloody hell...I don't see the frequency of buses or trains increasing, not to mention the comfort of taking public transport. And yet the prices seem to increase almost every year!! Where is the basis of increasing the costs?

This is what happens when you have a monopoly. You increase prices, people rant and rave but still have no choice but to patronise you. And the corporations keep laughing their way to the banks. It doesn't help that this country is too small for competition in this area.

Juz received a message from her thanking me for everything I gave during the last 3 years. Gotta admit it feels pretty strange that she messaged something like that out of the blue, probably having some problems with her boyfriend. But who am I to ask what happened?

Perhpas it's much better to juz leave it as it is, in case I make life miserable for everyone again. Sometimes it's best not to change anything when things are going okay. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. How true...

So...tomorrow's gonna be a long, long day. Bike test in the morning, and work from 2pm to 12am. Such a sad, sad life...adulthood really sucks.

And that concludes what seems like a weekly entry. Will try to update more often, that is if I have more things to talk about. So until then, take care everyone. *sMiLeZ*
