You get up and straighten your tie; you walk up to her and pour her a drink.

offer her a ride, and then say, "By the way, I'm very rich "Will you marry me?"

Blessing

Have you ever wonder what exactly is blessing? What does blessing really comprised of? Definitely the meaning of blessing varies from person to person. For instance, to someone who is very poor but filled with loves from others may envy a rich man who is very lonely, and even considered that as a blessing, whereas the rich one will think in another way. Someone without a hand will always consider those who only have a hand as a blessing because they have the opportunity to touch and feel with their hands, and even use them in writing. However those who have one hand only will always view themselves as unfortunate because they are always comparing themselves with the fortunate ones with both hands without thinking of those who do not have upper limbs. For those with both hands will view having fine and soft fingers as a blessing. Innate greediness in Man causes us to be unappreciated and not contented towards what we own, thus resulting in one’s unhappiness. Will Man stop to be greedy? I doubt so. Not try to be pessimistic, but the impact of the materialistic world have indeed cause Man to forget about the beauty of contentment. Isn't it true? Man hardly will be contented about their achievements. They will also try by all means to get themselves to great heights but the question is: Where is the highest point in one's life? No one know. In another words, they will never realize whether they have hit the peak or not.

When was the last time you feel contented or appreciate for what others had done for you? Have you show your appreciation to that person? It's a blessing to have someone in your life who is willing to lend a helping hand to you regardless whether they are only by-passers to you. Pls don't take them for grant. By saying a small little 'thank you' with SINCERITY can really brighten up one's day and allowing one to know that his help is being appreciated.

Journey

It's a long long journey
Till I know where I'm supposed to be
It's a long long journey
And I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you

Many days I've spent
Drifting on through empty shores
Wondering what's my purpose
Wondering how to make me strong
I know I will falter
I know I will cry
I know you'll be standing by my side
It's a long long journey
And I need to be close to you

Sometimes it feels no one understands
I don't even know why I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul
Will you break down these walls and pull me through

Cause It's a long long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on calvary
Beneath those stormy skies
When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feel like everything is out to make me lose control

Cause It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you to you

4/4 class gathering

juz came back frm my sec class gathering... at first i was quite worried coz afraid tat they will start teasing mi but it seem like ,y worries were redundant'.. kinda quite getting a bit high upon seeing some of them, coz i haven been seeing them for ard 1 1/2 yr...kinda interesting to hear the 'news' abt them and see their changes especially the guys.. like CBL becomes less crappy n quite.. i think he's getting more mature n predictable, steve slim down quite a lot but still quite fair after all, guanhao oso slim down but become fairer (did he go n bleach himself?? strange din the sun do the tanning for him?).... wat abt mi??
 
 
almost every1 was late for the gathering(ha. i think is the style of 44 lahz.. yeah..ha) then we went KTV (seems like i had been gg to tat particular KTV at orchard recently, but the songs had been updated again ha)n i finally found n 5566 song that fully fit into my vocal range (not too low ha ha)..
 
 it was a new experience gg to ktv with diff bunch of ppl... like today i din really had the chance to choose the songs tt i wanna sing, coz the moment i  got hold of the controller, Koh had really choosen 60 over songs liao (of course he got help the rest to select songs, but he choosen the majority)... actually i was quite piss of with him esp when he ignored my request for my songs n was unwilling to look for mi.. (hey i'm still a ger ok?!) so most of the time i was singing others' songs.. but he was veri funny too as the songs that he chose esp those sang by the ger, wasn't for himself to sing exactly. in fact he wan us to sing the songs... "specially dedicated for us to sing" but he din really realise that wat he wan dun really fit to wat we wan...haiz.. the guys oso veri paiseh to sing in front of us, esp CBL who is so afraid to gg off tune. though they noe how to sing the song, but they refused to sing using the mic in front of us (r we tt scary? i hope not) after all my hong pian, i finally get Hao to sing(yeah!!) n not forgetting Neo too.. but too bad, i wasn't able to force yao to sing... kinda sympathize them for spending their precious time to listen our "sha ji-ing"( ha) vocal..
 
aniway it's a fun experience to be with them again.. hope tt our nxt meeting will not be another 2 yr later.. ha ha

5566

hey.. wonder whether any1 of u have watch the NKF charity show for the children medical fund... even though i'm a fan of 5566, but i feel that the organiser is veri biased. can't they think of other participating artistes... i understand 5566 can help them to roll in more $$ for the children and is considered a veri impt icon in S'pore. but try to recall , over the past charity shows is there any artistes who need a special video clip to intro them...No!! there isn't any..
i just feel that it's not fair to the others who dun haf such privileges..

excluding wat i have mentioned earlier on, in fact i was quite high while watching their performance (i try veri hard to suppress it) even though they were lip-synching when sing [Easy come Easy Go]..
BUT.. they sang their new single live... {yeah} they really sing it live as they haf change some of the lyrics and this song is supposingly sang by all the artistes frm Jungiery which includes K1, RnB, Cyndi... n if u paid attention to it at the beginning, u will realise that Xiezhi wasn't in time to sing the 1st few words of the 1st line n Renfu's voice suddenly went softer when he tried to manipulate his mic...

actually not i wanna complained again.. i seriously think that Xu Mengzhe shld try to be more daring in his singing.. when he was singing his lines, u can hardly hear him.. n somemore lack of feelings...
n y muz Mr cao do the rounding up while 5566 was still singing... i hardly can hear his singing...(sob, sob)Nvm.. looking at the brighter side... i'll be hearing it on 8Aug again.. seems like i will b seeing them in a mth time n they shld b coming again in Sept for the [S'pore Greatest Hits award]...

wow they seems to be veri busy lehz..
Upoming schedule of 5566
ard 23-25 Jul gg to Beijing for MTV Awards
8 Aug coming to S'pore for concert at the bay
28 Aug Taipei Concert cum Renfu's Bdae
Oct/Nov filming a new drama series cum releasing a soundtrack
Jan 2005 release of the 3rd Album

meanwhile they still need to do the filming for their variety shows and gg forautograph sessions fo their concert and Mengzhe n Shaowei still busy filming their drama.

As a fan..i can ONLY give them my blessing
hope that everything will go smoothly n they will be in a pink health

Ten If and One But

Cloudy day...

i always thought that i've changed thru the past 1 1/2yr since graduated frm Jc. at least i shld be more hardy than before.. but reality proved mi wrong. i will nv be like others who can treat things lightly. hiccups in life really have a great impact in my life...
it hasn't been a gd day fro mi since tis morning..
1) woke up late for lesson
2) feeling so inadequate in lessons
3) mood is seriously affected by some responses frm XX

I always thought that i can ignore my feelings and treat things as per normal. but can i? i doubt so... to others i always someone who have a lot of self-confidence and is happy-go-lucky person. but is that the real mi? I want to be strong and add more colors in my life, but can i?

Moooo

todae the weather was so fantastic... rainy and cloudy(tat's my fav weather).. how nice it will be if i had a chance to laze in my beloved bed with my Pooh Bear pillow...too bad tis morning the lesson started at 810am.{haiz tat's reality}
Despite of the cooling weather, I was quite awake for the entire day (yeah i din dozed off during lessons) however I started daydreaming in my land of fantasy when Dr Param lost mi while he was speeding to finish the lectures on time. haiz.. Stupid leh. y can't i be more attentive..[*yuck*]...can someone help...
actually hor, i do consider today as a pretty gd day coz finally after a long long wait.. there is a switch in class rep.. yeah, finally i am not responsible for anything liao(hooray)[*muack*]. and this is y today i have the mood to do something to my blog (notice any changes.. nope?? i added my frenz' links, it was taught by audrey)!!

how i wish the nite will last longer, so that i will have more time to construct my blog n somemore i am so relunctant to go for the class at 8 tmr morning...(HB's lab session, doing palpation in swimsuit,eeeeeeeee)
haiz REALITY!!

crazy...

arh........... having a blog can be so mafan especially when i have forgotten all my HTML commands....driving mi crazy soon.. i shall stop the construction today.. will try to finish it up when i am free....
can any kind soul help mi doin it. yucks...

It's My 1st Time..

Yoz finally have my own blog liao after thinking for such a looong loong time...(really veri long..)definitely it will not be toooo personal but an outlet for mi to utter RuBBISH!!...I really need to grumble in order to distress... or else sooner or later i will be gg to the chalet near my place. instead of counselling others, i will be counselled by other psycharists...

Actually setting a blog really can be a big head event.. juz by thinking the title itself.. i still need my buddy zhenhao's help.. n yingbuff's advice.. but end up i decided to give it a crappy name which is not even found in the dictionary(heck CARE lah!!).
