jus 202 days... haha haha hahahahaha
this week looks to be quite okay, no outfield or stuff.. but time to train up on my lousy fitness... anyway last week was energy sapping at best, outfield, camou, ops orders, attacks, and all... its fun but at thesame time rather tiring...but its over and its satisfying so. had a long chat with shiwei earlier, generally chatted abt all nothings and some somethings... :P
oh yah.. finally committed myself to buy a new phone, ii'm officially leaving the Nokia camp n transfering to Samsung!! bought the e-600c, quite a sleek phone and nicely packed into a palm. quite handy and stylish at the same time (too bad they dun come up with black colour versions of it, bound to be an instant hit... at least with me) but i'm not going to throw away my trusted 6510, no, not yet. haha 3 n half yrs of faithful service to me, that is a very very long time for a phone in this age of the 2-month-1-new-handphone-model culture of today. gonna use it when i'm outfield n chionging in the fields. Think i'll only "retire" it when i ORD too :) haha ...202...
burnt a hole in my bank book buying the new handphone, think i need to od some calculations... 600bucks meants i must cut down spending by 300 for the next 2 month to "cover up" the cost. hmmm... considering i draw out about 50-150 per week, i need to cut back by another $100 other than not drawing out any money for the next 2 months,,,, hmmm meaning this $100 must somehow magically appear??? hmm... gonna be tough,,,
oh yeah, jus finished reading the Da Vinci Code a very riveting story and think its the only few books that kept me glues to its pages continuously for the past 3 days. haha bought it for 1 month, but finished it in 3 simple days...gonna want to read it a couple more times. meanwhile shiwei wanna borrow the book... hmmm... at a price?? bleah... hey anyway its real good reading, so will recommend it to friends...
speaking of friends,, had a discussion today about best friends that faded out over time, its kinda sad frankly, that sense of being unable to help the situation that has already developed can easily paralyse anybody. we hv different friends in different phases of our lives, this i once heard somewhere. having said that though, NOT all friends are gatherings/congregations of convenience. But ittrue that its really hard to have somebody that experienced similar episodes in life throughout our childhood/teenage years. so there may come a time that our best friends gradually fade into the background while we take root in another environment, another situation that are drastically dissimilar to that of our best friends.. then another stranger comes in and takes root in our heart as another reliable pillar of support or another companion in the journey down life... we have many many friends in our lives, a bunch of them gains a deeper place in our heart as good friends, and a rarer privilleged few gains entry to our inner self as confidantes, as close buddies, "abang abang"s, zhi ji, and best friends.
When we step into anther phase of our lives, when our best friends fade off to a different directon in life and when we must move on in a new envronment, we do not give up on those ties, those beautiful memories, those precious frames in our own cinema. those are the memories, the fuel that powers the engines of the machine that consantly keeps the friendship alive and burning. it takes more than jsut 2 to clap, it takes 2 willing and trying to clap resoundingly, and if i know that all my friends still remembers me and those times that i've the honour of sharing with them, and that i'm not forgotten, i'm very thankful to all and eveyrthing.
never been much of an eloquent guy, only found my voice like over the past 2 yrs... took me 5 yrs to change, and till now, i'm stll finding ghim song. i have only my friends and family to thank for helping me along the way. its never an easy journey, i'm searching.

shi wei, dorlisa, andy, jin hui, beng chuan, gabriel, serina, issac, yuan wei, chin ser and njc for those de-stressing and unforgettable times mugging in the grey uniform, on the grey desks and in the fortress for having an exclusive chance during those 2 yrs to be able to call you all my good friends.
Thank you kaiyuan, clement, ben soh, han wei, wei qi, gabriel, kang fei, ao zhi, wei bin, shi hao, liang han, kelvin, all my OCS buddies, and my bmtc guys, they all helped me develop the warmer self in me over a short course of 12 months.
Thank you to all that are still in contact and made an effort to stay in touch with me, and whom i also makes effort to keep in touch with too. thank you. thank you to the deepest of my heart.
Its a real pity that many i have lost touch with, but at the same time, i'm thankful that i'm still in contact with, its really hard to express but really privilleged to know you all. when asked to name my best friend, i can't say a definite one, but i have a few in mind that i will call instinctively and woul dlike to share good news, and bad times with. i jus hope that i am also in these few ppl's lists too.
Its a privillege to be let into somebody's lives.
haha seem like i'm making my last speech... nah, it shan't be the last post or blog. but there are times that you feel you need to say things out, or else it may well be too late. so there it goes, my tribute to all that made my life more fulfilling, more enriched and more happy.
With friends like these, who needs vitamins :P (hahah kinda irrelevant i guess to some hahaha bleah...)
202....
