All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very
Mad World
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very
Mad World
Mad World
Enlarging your world
Mad World.

its been a while aside from my previous entry about the motorcycle ride I had in the parking lot
somehow each of us have sunk into our own little black hole, and i honestly can’t tell who’s having it worst off or better off
we’re pretty much on the same boat or in the same hole
at least one more of us is leaving SG for a good extended period of time
for the rest of us, what the future holds remain unknown
i’m not the most optimistic guy around
but after being around for the past 2 years, i know what attitude needs to be uphold in order for me to continue catching up with the spinning world
it never stops, so you can’t too
small word of advice, embrace change if you aren’t happy with what you are now
i’ve shrunk in size, moved to Punggol, grown a few more white hairs, finished 2 semesters at school and worked 4 months with the best brother in the world
1 thing i’ve learned from BMX and Jessica, is that when you keep pushing the envelop, you don’t go off the edge, the envelop just gets bigger
so here i m, still surviving
and i’ve now got 3 modules this semester, making it 3 weekday nights in school and catching much less sleep and tv
what doesnt kill you makes you stronger – heard that a million times
i bet you have too
anyways i lost my train of thought cos i left my desk for a bit there
but i remembered that i wanted to wish Liang the best of luck for his practicum – perk up bro, the future is for our taking!

I jus stole a ride on my IT guy’s 1000cc bike around the parking lot of where I work. The feeling – simply exhilarating. Though I prolly never went above 50 and not higher than 3rd gear. But this was my first experience with a big cc bike.
The damp evening air in hair, my crumpler snugly up against the small of my back as it rests on the pillion seat and the little bumps of the Tarmac reverberating through the suspension into my limbs. The feeling of freedom while being in control, and power at the flick of my wrist.
It was a ride that lasted less than 2 minutes, but it must have been the happiest 2 minutes I’ve had in a while. The only worry I had was crashing my friends bike.
Was never a fan of choppers or harleys – still not, but I guess this ride changed my opinion a little.
Nothing gets me going and remind me that I’m still alive like a good ride on a 2-wheeler.

I wouldn’t have the balls to sail the english channel alone now, let alone at 13.
It’s the kinda life i’ve always aspired to have
At 24, i still have a long way to go before i come close
So what do i do?

I’ve had a long day. Or rather, a 2 or 3 months
I’ve been at work and at school today
I’m running a course at the moment, planning for 5, with 1 starting next week.
And not to mention at exhibition that I’m coordinating on my own.
But i can’t sleep.
I sit here in my chair thinking of all the issues that have gnawing at the back of brain
and sitting on top of my chest for a while now.
And of people in general. Nasty people, selfish people, disrespectful people, ungrateful people etc etc.
But lessons teaches us that, for every action that we make or take that brings no value or doesn’t solve any problems, is really a waste of time.
So i’m really jus wastin my time in this chair.
But so what, not everything is logical.

As I watch my friends advance ahead in life,
I wonder where I’m headed
As I listened to my brothers talk about their national service lives tonight
I wonder what I missed out on, not being fit for combat duty
and I swear I’ve been a war junkie all my life
I can sit and I can watch and I can wonder
but if I don’t get off my ass and handle the current situation like a true mature sensible adult
then my journey slows down to a halt
Though I have to admit
I need to stop focusing on just where I want to be
but also how I want to get there
There are so many situations where you can’t jus turn and walk away
when you hit a dead end
Being cheerful and optimistic don’t solve every problem
but I guess it helps when you need to think of your next exit plan
and if you don’t try, you would never know
10 years on, I feel like I’m 14 again
this would sound great, until you know what it was like to be 14 for me -
lost, confused and full of angst.
Yes, it’s scary
But what do you do?
Jessica taught me 2 very important lessons:
1. to suck it up
2. to deal with it
I’m as far as where I am today because I never forgot those painful lessons
and now, more than ever, I need to keep these 2 phrases in mind
nobody said it was easy,
no one ever said it would be so hard
pls bear with my complaining and whining for now
I vow to step out this stronger than ever
