life and death

the past week has been a series of ups and downs in general. Pre-u sem was a blast!! i mean like we all said, it's probably the most impactful camp we've been to. i never remembered OBS, sec 3 camp, and all the other leadership camps to be like pre-u sem is, seriously. the whole programme was also engaging. and though most PDs were boring, Prof Mahbubani's one was interesting ttm! seriously, he and the other two gave very insightful comments and advice. not forgetting sentosa, HIGHLIGHT!! wahahha. siamese soccer, geocaching, RAFTBUILDING WTF!!!! photos are all up on mathew's, fung mei's brenda's and navina's facebook! jonathan leong, navina, ana, yvonne, mathew, brenda, fazillah, benjamin, jonathan lao gong, fung mei, mei xuan, lihui, mila, norman, tim, glendon, jing yong, yiting, charles and gillian! you guys were and ARE amazing! omg, YEH-RI FTW. LOL. okay fine.

so the next one is very depressing, the passing of my dearest grand father, Toh Kuah. considering he stayed with us for so many years, and i'm doing this in his ex-room, it's vveryy, dejecting to say the least. but we all think he went and left satisfied, and if that's so, we all happy for you ah gong. i'm trying to work on something for him, so i'll get it out asap. we all miss you AH GONG!

life is full of surprises as i said, didnt i?

what la

how's the going! okay anyway, i'm elated yet disheartened by many things lately. it's like life has it's way of making you feel the best and the worst. not bad huh? grand dad's in a pretty bad shape, and everyone's praying for him. there was a sunday where everyone thought he was almost there already, and it was sad yet really great to see everyone back there together. it's not that often to get the full strength you know.

so anyway, pre-u sem's next week, and i still dont really know what to expect. but i guess that's the whole fun part about what we live for huh. little surprises and unexpected twists. perfect i say! oh and finally 0705 had a proper wacky crazy time last night. it's just so typical of us to do that pose, it's soooooooooooooooooo temptingggg............

you all will know when i get the photos. till then!

mummmy and wei!

Mum's birthday was the week before last and my bro-da's was a few days ago. i'm quite happy with how things went for both days. hahah, and oh! since my mum doesnt read my blog, i intend to get her a waffle maker, she's been pretty crazy over waffles with ice cream lately, so why not right!

After numerous conversations with yun hui on how religion is like and the possible reasons why they actually divide, i've come to realise that religions that i'm aware of, are technically good and pure.

It's the followers and worshippers that cause these religions to be flawed, by means of misinterpretations of teachings and the relentless abuse of religious authority. Additionally, matters are made worse by extremists who are blinded and brainwashed by the misinterpreted religious information and go to the extent of declaring holy war? Is there a war that's holy? Is there really a God who will teach and condone terror-inflicting activities and acknowledge the widespread of blood shed as a solution to peace and harmonious spiritual living?

will someone please tell me? lol

WINGS(: - 25/04/2009


"here's your cert. " oh okay, bye. HAHAHA

skylark 81

skylark 85, coolest fighter yo!

skylark 98

155 BFC. monastery course as yun hui says!

i havent really done a writeup on my whole flying journey so far, not that i'm lazy(okay partially), but more because i find it very.......... hard to start. not hard in terms of difficulty, but more emotionally. i'm not SOFT hor! but yeah. soon, i promise.

so yeah last saturday was our official wings ceremony, with the guest of honour being the same old same old, associate professor koo tsai khee. it really felt good seeing all 31 of us getting plastered with our wings. and YUN HUI'S SPEECH WAS GOOD!!!! BRAVO ZULU INDEED(:

so i'm glad i went to thank those who played major roles in my flying training, namely: instructor goh chye lee, instructor ng chee tat, and OM willie chow. really these mentors have been helpful, and they're really passionate in imparting the knowledge they have to students like us. i think THAT'S the difference between a TEACHER and a MENTOR.

check it out

i'm really short of mins and seconds at the moment, so this will do.



for now. HAHHA

school

technically 6 more months of lessons, andddddddd....................... yeah. erm yeah. how? yeah. who? yeah. when? yeah. what? yeah. ROARRRRRR.

SO as i was saying, this weekend has been a weekend of birthday celebrations. dad's was yesterday, awesome seafood. and rrrrrregine's bbq was on just now. UBER fun. ha. proof that kids can be childishly fun. engaging yet nonchalantly mentally invigorating. we've now got our own tv series, own band, jamming sessions, kids programme with many more to come. HAHA.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING? they can be more fun AND matured than humas my age. shocking no?

and so here it goes again. CHEERS to the moments we've had and the moments yet to come (:

FOOD

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
i'm starting to appreciate every non work moment i have with myself, family, friends, food, computer, home, and everything else non work related. i guess being so engrossed in sitting down reaps it's own genre of rewards. thanks but no thank you if i may.

shawn has just enlisted and brandon is next followed by boon hong. then it'll be jun cong, yong qin, jacky who will be sporting new hairdos. and it'll be just a few of us left. sweeeeet. NOT.

woooo. i.am.freaking.tired. period.

oh i almost forgot,

JIE WEI! seeeeeeeeee

f1 is back

Brawn GP

this is one new hell of a team to watch. working on a new car in just 6 weeks, and churning out a car that took two drivers with shitty cars last season to the top 2 spots in the melbourne grand prix is really stunning. totally invigorating for the sport plagued by scandals.

how much money have you guys spent on shopping in the past 2 years? i dont even dare to take out the calculator.

friends?

ima straight homosexual. what say you?

i'm terribly saddened that i only found out about oasis' dig out your soul tour gig only yesterday. really. it's on sunday, indoor stadium, and it starts at 2000hours. i'm fucking mourning. on the other hand, dinner yesterday was really shit loads of fun. 18 people raiding holland v's crystlal jade. hahah DANIEL WAS erm......... well you know. hahaha. hilarious shit really. i think everyone had like 20 baskets of xiao long bao? and the stupid damn mushrooms that yijie ordered were soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo BOOM! okay i'm not making sense here but at least i think i am inside my head full of pink ponies, mach 2 aircrafts, rainbows, turning on finals, little fairies and throttle levers.

yes, i think i'm cool.
