back.~

hi all. i am back from malaysia. the previous 2 days was a great experience for me. and i would love to share it with all. it all happened like this. danial sms-ed me telling me he has a job lobang. i am suppose to 'work' for his uncle's company for a project. the job is to take care (facilitate) kids from an international school for their camp to Fraser's hill. i had no idea how to handle the kids initally. they are grade 6 kids and they live a lifestyle completely different from ours. they are mostly from a relatively well-off family background. their parents are people like diplomats from other countries or hold high poisitions in MNCs located in Kuala Lumpur. they are mostly whites with a couple of other asians from countries such as taiwan. when i first met them inside the class. i was suprised by some of their really really long hair. (the boys) they were really cool people with a whole bunch of attitude inside them. though they are going to be away for only 3 days. they carried luggages like they are going to be away for 3 weeks.
anyway. they are from Mont Kiara International School. so. ultimately. my job is to lead this bunch of ten kids. they were a great company. 10 kids from 8 different countries. i had kids from argentina. u.s.a. sweden. u.k. philipines. korea.... i cant really remember the other two. they were from different cultures. though they are only 12 years old. some had really stayed in many different countries. following their parents around the globe.
k. there are basically 6 groups of kids led by various trainers. and its agreed that my group wasnt really co-operative among themselves for the various activities. so. i tried my best to talk to them trying to talk the idea of team work into them ultimately. and i am glad they managed to work as a team eventually by themselves. they were supposed to build a structure based on the theme of love . peace. and nature. and they came up with a really fantastic piece of work. i am really proud of them. and i loved them alot. i will miss you guys. hope to see them again next year.
anyway. that was the kid's part. the trainers ourselves had a great time too.! we are.

Sue- our camp chief. she was great. briefing us. trusting us. and teaching us loads of stuff. she is going on a training thing to be a fire-woman. and i want to wise her good luck for this.

Taufik. (not the singapore idol)- haha. taufik. it would be much duller without him. he taught the kids a couple of songs. one of them goes. water-melon. water-melon. banana. banana. rasins. rasins. rambutan. rambutan. haha. damn funny.

Danial and Eileen.- Danial is Eileen's boyfriend. Eileen is Danial's girlfriend.

Nat.- Nat is my classmate.

so sorry. to the 3 of them. cause i cant really think of anything to write for the 3 of them. my mind is filled with jasmine's incident.

Jasmine.- the ultimate event person.

1. brought everything she could think of for the trip. contact lenses solution. underwear. socks. everything. so. we got on the coach happily and was about to leave for KL. while filling up the white form. she finally remembered she forgot something.

her passport. yay....!!!! its still at home. a-men.

2. one of the activity was to bring the kids in for a night walk in the forest. so. the team of us had to wacky the trail before the activity naturally.
jasmine entered the trail together with us bravely at her own risk. she must have really regretted it. cause the rough trail proved abit too much for her. she was scared of riding down the slope cause she had bad experiences before. jasmine ended up breaking the rules.
why.? cause she took left a great deal of tears in the forest. and took back a really bad experience. poor jasmine. anyway. blur jasmine had other incidents but i am going to spare her this time.
i am going to miss you guys.

miss the fun we all.
miss the fear we shared.
miss the songs we sang.
miss the talks we had.
miss the games we played.

i love you guys all.!
anyway. most importantly. i think i want to thank boss. (danial's uncle) for his generosity and guidance. and also Danial for giving me this chance. thanks.!

away.~

there is this great piece by andy timmons. the title is 'cry for you'. its a damn touching piece. i feel like crying when i listen to it. though i got no-one to cry for. well. maybe. i will cry for myself.

anyway. i will be setting off for Kuala Lumpur (KL just sounds wierd) tomorrow. i will be working there. haha. i am on a 'overseas working trip'. k. thanks to danial. i got this chance. i will be working as a facilitator looking after kids from a international school. it will be sort of a 2 days 1 night camp and ireally look forward to it. so. i will be away from tomorrow till maybe friday. hope everything will be sweet and fine.!

not bad. the feeling of spending money you earn by yourself is really good. but. i dont seem to be saving much money. think i am spending a little too much. actually. i am not. think i am just spending the necessary. but. the value of money is really subjective. thinking about the fact that i will be slogging for the rest of my life for money.

really piss me off.!!!!

k. i am going to be 300 bucks richer by the end of this week. i am happy.

Improvisation

Improvisation.

this word has been the magic word to me for the year 2005. every single day. i carry my guitar and i try to solve the mystery. crack the code of this big magic word. but. i have failed miserably. to improvise is to basically create fresh music based on a set of resources.- musical scales.

this is really super- duber pure 'cheem' stuff. i get headaches trying to improvise. and i get pissed off with myself. but. i firmly believe that i will break the ice one day and improvise like a pro. yea. improvisation is like cycling. you know it. you know it. you dont know it. you fucking dont know it. but. i am sure improvisation wouldnt dawn on me suddenly one fine day. i got to do something about it.!

i love the guitar. i think its amazing how music of such great variety can be created from this six string instrument. jazz. blues. rock. classical. metal. you name it. the guitar play it. to me. one of the greatest thing to ever watch is to watch guitar- great play. these people have got frightening control of the instrument.

Steve Vai.
Steve Vai is my number one guitar idol. mr YX introduced me to mr Vai. and i must say. even not as a guitarist. Steve has got something for everyone of us to learn from in his character. he play with passion. emotion. he is crazy on the guitar. he goes crazy on the whammy bar. he takes off his shirt. he play with his tongue. he seem like he enjoying every single minute on stage. but. the most important thing is he is known for being the mr nice guy. he treats his fan well. he cherish what he is doing. the most amazing thing i really adore about him is he keeps bees in his backyard. he would harvest the honey and auction it and every cent would go to charity. i think steve vai is great. like what YX said.

'Steve Vai is a living legend...'.

no doubt steve vai is a living legend. he is something like jimi hendrix. i salute steve vai.!

Andy Timmons.
i love his improvisation. and more importantly. he plays with great intensity. though he is not as famous. i think he is absolutely great. all the way.~

k. these two are my guitar idols. steve vai particularly.

http://www.vai.com/News/tourdates.html

this is the link of steve vai's tour dates. i think its absoultely crazy. its mad. no wonder he can play so well. but. first. i am going to learn the art of improvisation. i am sure i will succed. i will.!

i will start improvising soon.~!

i am on my way.

yucks. how can some people be so freaking rich.? i was surfing the net just now and came across this article. Forbes has once again come up with their list of the richest american. i am sure it aint suprising. bill gates is once again at the top of the list. his net worth is 51 billion.

frankly. i dont really understand this number. what are the stuff that comes along with this number.? i wonder. anyway. there is this interesting billionaire to note. his name is James Leprino. who built a $1.3 billion fortune supplying cheese to pizza joints Little Caesars and Papa John's. (forbes. 2005) wah... supply cheese also can earn so much. seriously. i think money is out there. its just waiting for someone to earn them.

yea. actually. i think i want to be a businesman next time. or at least be my own boss. this is pretty much different from the course i am doing now. and i understand how some of my friends think its contridicting. and say maybe i am lost or i could have made a better choice. thinking back. i really made a difficult choice last march. it was really difficult to decide whether to stay in JC or to try the polytechnic style of education.

its been one semester and i would say. i wouldnt say for sure whether my choice to join mass comm was the best choice. because i dont know what could i have experienced if i stayed on in CJ. or even move on to other JCs. i could have achieve somethings with the guitar club. i could have developed deeper friendships with 1T04. many thing could have happen. but one thing is for sure. i would be slogging now instead of blogging. cause promos is next week.

i dont consider myself a 'lost' person in mass comm. because. i am sure. mass comm is the best course available and more importantly. suited for me. i may not know what i really want to do in the future yet. i may do radio. production. or whatever shit. i am exploring. searching. but. i know mass comm is certainly the course for me. i define 'lost' as those people wondering if they could have been better somewhere els. where-ever they may be now.

i know of some JC friends whom are already considering to quit JC and join a poly next year. i am not the kind of person that is going to say. 'no. you shouldnt waste one year. you should carry on. and slog. you will make it.'

Bullshit.

the 'O' level course is one where you can have absolutely zero interest in whatever shit you are doing. you just make yourself study and i think everyone is going to make it pretty much. but. i think the 'A' level course is an entire different story altogether. i think one really need a certain level of determination and intelligence to do the course well. if not. i think i believe one would be better in polytechnic. i have a couple of friends whom quit JC and joined polytechnic. and. i dare say they are all doing really well now. i dont think they wasted one year. looking at it from another point of view. they may in fact have saved one year. cause they its possible they do shit for their 'A' levels.

well. i think it doesnt matter long we have been on the wrong track. the most important thing is. one ust have the courage to think. analyse. decide. and carry on with life.

if only i have 3 thumbs...

i watched Cinderella Man yesterday. i loved it. i think its a very good movie.

what is a good movie.?

in my opinion. a good movie is one which makes myself walk out of the cinema feeling as a better person. but. the length of this feeling varies. a comedy can make me a happier person thus a better person when i walk out of the cinema. for maybe 1 hour.? or 10 minutes.? however. the greatest of all movies makes me a better person for life.

i understand the message of the movie. i learnt a lesson. i benefit from it for life. its a 3 thumbs-up great movie. if only i have 3 thumbs to flash. hm..

****************************************

i think the JC people are having their promos in less than one week.? good luck guys.!

i am Tok JiaJie.

ever wondered how much you understand yourself.? ever wondered who is the person on earth that understands you the best.? seriously. sometimes. i really think i understand very much of myself. i think my mum understands me best. she always claim to know what business i want to do when i go to the toilet. i wonder....

i remember at the very end of my primary school days. almost everyone in my class kept something like a 'friendship dairy'. we would pass our very own around the class and get classmates to fill in content for us. shit like.

'friends 4-ever'.
'roses are red....
are blue... blah~ blah~'

appear all around in the dairy. the lamest of all. we would write in stuff like our favourites thing. whatever favourite you can think of. you put it down. for example.

oouch...

there is a chinese saying that goes.

"水火无情"

there is also another one that goes.

"欺山莫欺水"

these two proverbs basically refer to the power of the water. the first one means the element of fire and water are both mercy-less.
the second proverb means one can always bully(take advantage) the greatest mountain but. never ever the water.

i think throughout history. many culture has experienced the power of the water element. in fact the list of chinese proverbs implying the sheer power of the water element goes on and on. so. i think people that like to push the limit when playing in water are simply risking death.

when i went to work on saturday. i was suprised to find so many police around there were even navy divers in action. to complete the picture. worried family members staring blankly at the sea. it turned out that a 14 year old malay had drowned in the sea. and the whatever authority are trying their best to search for the lost body. i heard that he was fishing or wadever. anyway. i dont think its important what he was doing as he is already dead.

the search was still on when i went for work the next day on sunday. it was around 6.30pm that they finally managed to find the body. after being soaked in the sea for 2 days. i think the state of the body must be. er. bad. i believe its like bread soaked in water. and the fish certainly would feed on the body. the ironic thing is its the mid autumn festival yesterday.

thousand of years ago. one chinese poet also drowned and people were searching for his body. to prevent the fish from eating his body. people threw dumplings into the water to feed the fish. they simply assumed that the dumplings they made were much tastier than the flesh of the deceased....

er.. WaIt.... i think that is the dumpling festival. another one. whatever. i mean they could have applied the same theory. anyway. the message i am trying to bring across today is. dont push the limit and try your luck. no one ever predict an accident to happen.

~off for brunch.

She.... He.... We....

wow. the last 3 days were .hm. i wouldnt say its great or what. but. i enjoyed myself.

it turned out that my cousin wasnt infected by dengue. but. some (dont know what jap virus). i got no idea. the doctor got no idea too. thus they did 7 blood test happily on my little cousin. quite poor thing. i myself dread the idea of having a blood test. i hate to go the the hospital. its so cold and lonely there. its so different from the hospital scenes we see on drama series. on a happier note. my cousin is discharged and as lively as ever now. went to visit him again at home that day. and everything is good.
yea. i met ah toon that day while visiting his brother. she is so beautiful and cute.! but. she just wont pose for pictures. (this explains my hand) she is now talking to us. and doing all the cute stuff a 3 year old does. no amount of words can express my love for ah toon. seeing her just brighten up my day. my week. my whole life. if only she is my real sister.

went out with 3 other guys in class yesterday. first. i met mr Joel at Bugis. i came across this machines at the arcades while waiting for him. OMG.! they had prizes like mini ipod. PSP. nokia phones. waiting for people to win. and i could hear these cool gadgets talking to me. (i am not kidding)

they said. 'come and get me. Please..'.

so. i had to try my luck. i played the game. it goes like this. the lighting will go running at lighting speed. and i are suppose to punch the button to stop the running light. i think its quite typical for a arcade kinda game. so. the light will stop either on a positive number or a negative number. and you need to accumulate 5 points to win. damn easy right.?

well. i spent 12 bucks excercising my fingers and brain. (i really focused on the running lights) and mr Joel spent 2 bucks too. and we ended up with a er... happy experience...

i dont really understand why some people like to go the the arcade. its super noisy. the people there give you unfriendly looks. and the lights are so glaring. here. you see this game machine. its called guitar freak. true. anyone must be a freak to play this game. come on man. get a life and buy yourself a real guitar. its reaaalllyyy uncool playing with this. loser.

Mr Joel: 'haha. i rocked the pool table yesterday.! you loser. what can you do to me.?' (captions by JJ)

what the hell.! i lost ALL the games i played yesterday against mr Joel and mr Lucas. i am really not happy about it at all. i insists to say i lost to luck. haha. no la. everyone is good and cool.~!

we went to watch the cave afterwards. haiz. boring.~~ it was sssooo typical. i felt i didnt bring anything out of it at all. should have watched another movie or at least spend the 7 bucks on 7 chances banging on an PSP at the arcade machine. damn it.

it was night time soon. and 4 guys spent 3 hours talking at this stretch of the marina area. talking. crapping. sharing. drinking. chilling. of course. i wouldnt agree with 100% of the content we talked about. and its only through this kind of session that we dont each other better. one thing about poly education is that you really meet all kind of people. and i think every individual in my class is unique. special. great to know you guys.! (i mean the girls also when i say 'you guys'.)

i think mr Lu misunderstood what i said yesterday. haiz. cant stand it. i think i am the biggest loser in class. considering we are students of mass communication. cause what i say always get distorted by the receiving end. shit. i need to mprove on my comunication. (no offence to anyone)

i got to say this. its good to aim high in life. but. as a 18 year old. lets know where to set our limits. 10K may be nothing to a copywriter. 20K may be nothing. 30K may be peanuts. but. you need to come up with best idea. with the vast improvement in technology. everyone is churning out idea everyday. and all these ideas are shared through the various channel of communication. so. a good idea. that results in a award winning advertisment may earn you 20K. as a freelancer. that is like. Wow. but. how frequently are you going to come up with a idea that is worth 20K or 10K or 5K. everyday.? everyweek.? every month.? or it only comes once in a lifetime.? in front of the top copywriter in the world. that maybe came up with the idea. how many thousands of ideas are rejected behind the scenes.? arent these people copywriter too.? there is no best in the creative industry. everyone is creative to a certain extent. but. it takes alot alot more other factors (that may not be linked to creativity) to contribute to a 'best' copywriter. and there is no 'best' anway.

k. actually. i am bullshitting. cause i know nothing about copywriter. but. the message i a trying to put across is. if one is thinking of earning 25K per month in future. there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. but. aint the aim alittle too high. after all. reality is always cruel. hm. i dont know if i have put it across correctly. but. no offence to anyone. esp. mr Lucas. we are all cool.~!

you guys all cool.~! and all the beautiful girls of the class. lets have a outing really soon. k.? lets arrange it on the class blog. hope to see all soon.

k. take care all.!

mr lonely.....

lonely. i am so lonely.... i am so lonely....

its the second week of the holiday and i am starting to feel alittle bit bored. i am itching for a game of pool soo badly. its been more than a week since i last played. hope i will get to play with the cool people this wednesday.

all T108er's. pool this wed anyone.? think some of the guys wanna watch Cave. anyone.?

i downloaded a series of great blues excercises yesterday. think i need to play with someone. i dont think i ever improve alot playing alone. and it gets pretty boring sometimes even though i love the guitar alot. i cant wait for the 'A' levels to finish. than i can play guitar with yongxin and all other guitar club people.

its raining now. hope it will end soon....

rain=water.
water may accumulate somewhere to become stagnant water.
and stagnant water provides breeeding ground for mosquitoes....

how freaky is the dengue thing. i already got 2 family members hospitalized after being bitten by dengue mosquitoes. one is my auntie and another is ah toon's brother. luckily ah toon wasnt bitten. k. i also pity his brother. but. i think he got thicker skin.

how time flies. i remember buying ah toon a barney latern (which i believe is overpriced. but. she like it....) last year for the mid-autumn festival. and it been a year already. think i will get to see ah toon soon when my uncle get married later this month. i am going to take loads of pictures of her.

i think both my auntie and my cousin are fine already. hope all the mosquitoes die after being fogged by those choking chemical gas.

the time is 7pm plus now. meaning my mum would be watching this korean drama series. i think people are really interested in korean drama now. its no wonder. cause i think their culture are really different from us and its really interesting to watch. they are really very polite people. and i think they are a bunch of highly discipined people.

k. hope i will lead everyday to the max.!

crazy

someone is crazy. came to my blog to make fun of my counter yesterday. nothing to do ar.?

@#$%^%#.......

i woke up early in the morning at 7am to go to the Central ManPower Base to defer for National Service. it was a waste of my precious sleep time totally. the whole thing took less than 1 minute. just a few click of the mouse and i was told its done. that place has got tight security man... soldiers patroling with real guns everywhere. i was soo ssooo tempted to fish out my phone to snap some pictures of the place. (they had old cannon and kinda stuff on display) but. i didnt dare to. though they didnt say its not allowed but i figured i better dont try anything funny at this kind of place. who knows a bullet may pierce my heart from behind without warning while i am taking the pictures. or get detain for fear that i am collecting information for terrorists.

***************************
i swear long john silver's breakfast is the most unheathy breakfast i can ever get. the toast is soaking oily. i felt sick for the whole day after having it this morning. yucks.~!

***************************

War is Peace.?

i was watching 'We Were Soldiers' yesterday. i would have cried if my family werent around. the part when the lead actress went round the neighbourhood giving out telegram to other housewifes of their husband's death simply triggered me.

its a great movie. everyone should watch it. i remember first watching a scene of this movie many years back. i was standing out best denki when they played it. it was already the last part of the movie. the scene when mel gibson lead his men to make the final 'dash' against the viet tongs. and just at the crucial second the choppers arrived to fire at all the viets and every communist died. i was like standing in front of the TV with my jaws dropping...

its really one great movie.

bloody yankees are really good at making people see their side of the story. and maybe play-around with the facts and make themselves seem pity-ful. one cant say what they produced is based on distorted information. but. its more like being selective in the protraying and manipulating the audience. they are really really good at it. its always them.....

the HeRo....
and also the ViCtiM....

but. fuck the yankess. they are the root of all evil....

i studied history during my first three months in CJC and learned abit anout the viet war. the yankess were ruthless. they were desperate....

today. the yankess can storm into iraq in search of weapons of mass destruction. e.g. chemical weapon. but. they used it against the viet congs just 40 years ago. because the communists hid undergound. they used a chemical weapon named 'methyl orange' (something like that) to burn the whole piece of earth they suspect the enemies are hiding at. because the communists 'enemies' wore common-man clothings. they would kill anyone they suspect to be a viet tong. even in actual fact one may really be just a peasant.

damn those yankess....

'We Were Soldiers'

- most of the movie was set at LZ x-ray. the war was protrayed to be fighted in a selected war zone. with no civilians involved. in actual fact. the yankess combed alots of peasants villages and killed alot of innocents.

- at the end of the movie. the leader of the viet was not captured. even after the line was broken through. could this have happened in reality.? i bet those yankess would film the whole process of the capture of the leader and protray it to the world like the 'evil is finally caught' and the 'hero triumphed'...... what bullshit..... like what Mr Saddam got....

the viet war was a war of ideology. so much lives were lost. just because of the thinking of a group of people. what the hell.? but. whats happened is happened..... hopefully. we can learn from history.

P E A C E - T O - T H E- W O R L D.~!

....National Service.....

sianze. i got to go make a trip back to school later just to print a deferment letter. yea. i was called up by the Ministry of Defence some time ago to report for my medical checkup and fitness test....

i was like 'huh.?' why am i called up for National Service soon when i am on my way to become a media professional. well.... it turned out that CJ didnt do a deferment for me after i quit and the poly side also.... i dont know. its quite confusing who does the deferment for you. i am not sure if its the school or if i am supposed to go defer myself online or they have records in the MOE.

so. after checking all things out. i am going to the Central Manpower Base tomorrow to register for NS and do a proper deferment. o.k. no medical and fitness test required apparently. actually. i will have to go through it sooner or later anyway.

so. i will be enlisted in maybe 2 1/2 years time. actually. i dont really like the idea of serving NS. as i think it really pulls me back 2 years. but. there is nothing to complain about. as every generation of men has went through it since independent. think i am going to learn a couple of stuff inside anyway.

BMT= Become-Man-Training.

i have a secret desire inside me to fight in a war. to 'chiong' at the frontline and bang off whoever shit i am required to. i wont hesistate. cause i am in a war. and i believe its going to be for a good cause. to protect my home and love ones. (think i am one of the victim of national day propoganda)

BUT..... that is my secret desire... my true desire is P E A C E. i know it sounds super spardstic. but. i hope there will be so much peace in the world. there will be no need for national service. thus. i can carry on with my life like the girls.... but. i know its impossible. cause all humans all selfish. and peace would never be achieved with selfish people existing.

k. enough of stupid logic. i feel like playing a game of pool now. but. its really difficult to find people to play with me. the JC people are all busy with their school work. and my classmates....
we all live so super-far-away from each other. i got no idea how we can meet up for pool..... maybe i should just play alone.

'' everywhere we go.... people want to know....
who we are.... where we come from.....
so we tell them.... we are from.....
mighty mighty...
Waylo, waylo, waylo, waylo, waylo, waylo................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

cause life is beautiful.......~

i am quite suprised indeed to find out that there were 58 counts on my blog yesterday.

well. maybe taking off the counts contributing by myself. think i still get a comfortable 50 counts visting my blog yesterday. i seriously wonder who are those visiting my blog....

is it 50 different people.?

**********************************************
life is beautiful... this morning is wonderful.

i woke up at 10am today. woo.... i had enough sleep and i felt great. went out with mum and sis for breakfast later. i realised something while walking along the corridor to the lift just now. i didnt know that the view is actually quite nice when i looked across. well. i walk along the same corridoor everyday. but. i didnt seem to notice it. maybe i was feeling more relaxed today. i noticed.

life is beautiful. beauty is all around us. its really up to us to appericate it.

say cheese.....

i haven been posting pictures. but. i certainly didnt stop snapping pictures everyday.

i am going to be a good boyfriend for the next two months and invest lots of time into my relationship. this is my new girlfriend. it electricifies me. woohoo. the first picture of my complete electric set. an Ibanez guitar and a Marshall amplifier. complete with steve vai's signature. woohoo. this is damn cool~

but. i play electric guitar like shit now. really got to train up. i am going to play my classical and my electric 3 hours each everyday. at least i hope.... =)

this mini guitar is a gift by guitar club for thanking me rendering them the help this for the PAC's opening. actually. i should be the one thanking them for giving me the chance to perform with them. too bad i cannot play this....

i think i am so lucky to be able to play the guitar. to be able to persue my passion. cause there are people in singapore whom are going through really difficult lifes. and i really feel sorry for them. i took this picture outside the toilet. this old auntie is munching on a bread at one corner just outside the toilet. i think its damn sad for her.... i felt like giving her 2 bucks to buy kopi. but. i didnt have loose change with me at that time. i hope i will not lead such a life after i am old....

this old uncle is certainly luckier. he seem to be educated as he is reading a chinese book that seem really difficult to understand. the characters are so small....! maybe he love to read. i love to play the guitar. i hope i will still be playing when i reach this age.

bad grammar.? i aint sure.... someone 'enlighten' me.....

i had to wear formal attire for yesterday's speech presentation. i think i look really bad. but. its not my fault. its the shirt.... anyway. i got two person serving me here. whahahaha....! (shit. i look super spardstic)

cool~ a bunch of 20+ for us cat high ex 4-4 er's turned up at newton's circle on thursday to celebrate teacher's day with miss seah. the pictures taken sucks cause the background street lights were way too bright. i felt bad for leaving selene in the library to do the proposal essay. but. there is just no way i can miss this. i miss cat high days....

the ultimate aim for this holiday is to be happy. i hope i can be happy everyday. my life wouldnt be the same without you. thank you all for being in my life. for colouring up my life....

my family...
my T108 fellow classmates...
my guitar club dears...
my cat high gentlemens...

everyone... thanks alot..

keep on rocking free world........~

free. i am so glad yesterday was finally over. yesterday marked the end of my first semester in ngee ann polytechnic as a mass comm student. today is the start of a 2 months holiday. woohoo.

i just read through the class people's blog. and.... i got no idea what to say... well. maybe this.

man are from mars.
women are from venus.
but........ we have come together to live in earth.
so. shouldnt we try to understand each other more.?

i think everyone is taking things personally to a certain extent.
everyone was tired from the workload we had to face last week.
but. after one whole semester of interaction and communication. i conclude something.

everyone in class is a nice person. (YES. EveryOne.) there might be some characteristic we dont like about someone. even myself. i know some people just cannot stand part of me.

But. this is JJ. you gotta accept it.
but. everyone is a nice person. being friend with someone is to accept all of him/her.
there have been some (its minimum) unhappiness between some members of the class.
but. i am sure its normal. its bound to happen when people work in group.

now that the holidays are here. i look forward to the school starting again. i look forward to working with my classmates again. you guys are great.

i love you all.!
