The desire to excel. The passion to dedicate. The determination to see it through.

Gun-of-the-Day

Spent the evening playing at home. Heh. We cooked dinner and played with my potato gun for the first time. LOL. Interesting. The next gun I wanna get is that NERF gun. HMM.. Or maybe just a part of the collection from Caesar's. Or maybe... ... ...

P.S. The Inner Game of Tennis by W. Timothy Gallwey is a good read. He wrote several other books based on similar principles!

Bittersweet Symphony

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I've never prayed,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here with my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

(Well have you ever been down?)
(I can't change, I can't change...)
(Ooooohhhhh...)

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
You know I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no

(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(Been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)(Lalalalalalaaaaaaaa...)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)
(Have you ever been down?)
(Have you ever been down?)
(Have you ever been down?)

Gathering-of-the-Day

Filipino Cuisine!

Spent the day clearing my room! Started with academic material then cleared the clothes! Still not done yet! Thank you Mr Ho!

In the evening, headed to Stewhaus at Cactus to eat. It's a great place to chill but it closes at 10pm! The oxtail stew is good as well as the mushroom soup! Gathering of Cathechism classmates. Gosh, it's been damn long! Haven't seen some of them since I was in secondary school/JC! Damn full. Headed to Jln Kayu for drinks with froth after that!

Soaking-of-the-Day

Went swimming in the morning! First time swimming at Seng Kang! Anyway, they have an indoor pool as well! So for those who are scared of the sun, this one's great! There's slides too! Adults can play as well.. I wanted to play but felt to lame going alone so just swam and swam! I WANNA PLAY! I wanna go Wild Wild Wet! Ok. There's a lot of things I wanna do. Anyway, I dropped by Compasspoint a while and walked around the Food Fair. Then headed back on my bike in the big big rain! Soaked right through!

Headed to Indoor Stadium for some AYG thingy. Hmm, to our surprise, we got a full concert from Sun Yan Zi! Nice! First time attending a concert like that at the indoor stadium!

Someone once asked, are you gonna try your best or are you gonna do your best? Then again, when you have done your best, how do you know it's your best? And if your best was only so much, could you accept it? Are you supposed to accept it or strive to be better? Strive to be the first or nothing. Whose way is that? God's way or man's? If your best ranked you the last among men, should you be satisfied? Why is there this longing and desire to aim higher? To achieve greater heights? Are we striving for what is right? I am confused. What then does determination really mean? Does it mean that you are constantly unsatisfied with your current standing? Or does it mean that you have not reached your maximum potential? That brings us back to the question once again, what is your maximum potential? Well, one thing's for sure, this world hasn't realized my potential.

The world waits to be convinced...
yet nothing is truly gained from that.


完美的一天

Biking-of-the-Day

Finally headed for bike lessons! The last lesson was half a year ago! Gosh. Anyway, I cleared two stages today (both first attempts)! That was amazing! I thought I'd fail cos haven't touched a bike for some time. Didn't want to waste money though so I read up and recalled stuff before the lesson and I managed to clear the stages!! Nice!

Trained in the afternoon again. Phiten really werkz!!

Ceremony-of-the-Day

It's Commencement Day! Off to a stressful start as I was thinking about what to say for the Live interview so left home a bit late! Only got to know the interview questions a couple of minutes before hand and got taken by surprise when the host asked me about shooting when we were LIVE. He didn't mention he was going to ask about that! I thought I was only going to talk about food! Haha. Oh well!
Anyway, President S. R. Nathan was the chancellor for today's ceremony so he handed us our scrolls! First time shaking the president's hand. Haha. Ok, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was there as well! He was there as a parent. So quite cool. Security appeared quite slack though. Hmm. Anyway, headed over to FST for more food and photos!
Hand In My Pocket by Alanis Morissette

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
And what it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

Place-of-the-Day

Had lunch with FST peeps at Toa Payoh hawker! Niceee! Check it out HERE.
Went to Marina Barrage for the first time! Gosh, the routes there are so complex. Anyway, it's a nice water place where people can fly kites and picnic! Crowded though! Oh, and it has big fish (about a foot long)..! I saw total of 3 fish! Big Grace's friend was our photographer for the day! We were walking around in our gowns and we had a mini pinic! The highlights were a HUGE brownie and Island Creamery ice cream!
P.S. There's an Island Creamery outlet at Great World City apart from the one at Serene Centre.
Later on, met HY for dinner (Kenny Rogers) and we played more UFO games again. Won some Little Devil which isn't so little, and some tiny stuff (2 x Tigger; 1 x Piglet; 1 x Hello Kitty). We're abstaining from it for next couple of months. It's been limited to a once a year affair! We have no space for the little (and no-so-little) guys! I got a new Phiten! Old one wore its magic off. Haha. Thank you Mr Ho for the mini surprise! It's time to start training again!!!
