(today, i ending work early)
1.
the familiar spiked hair,
the same body posture,
the cannot be mistaken height...
i bump into him!
my LEP teacher - ng how wee.
once again, all those memories were brought back
those chinese literature lessons,
those consultation before A level,
those 新诗，现代小说，茶馆...
oh i missed them!!! !!!
recalling every bits and pieces of those times,
i will never forget
-how he explain every stanza of the poem in great detail,
-making every character in the play come to life,
like he was 老舍 the second.
-the way he challenged our thinking to think out of
what was given in the textbook,
to search for more indepth themes that
the author was trying to bring out.
-he definitely taught us more than those
i really want to attend his chinese literature lesson again!
I WANT!!!
2.
i thought it was my illusion or my pure imagination...
after so many years, since the last time we said good bye,
(about 3 years plus), we actually bump into each other
again, in the same train carriage,
what probability is that?
nice to meet you after so long.
hope you continue to do fine!
take care

craZe
ever since the time i started working,
8.45am to 5.45pm, getting a hour lunch break,
in the what seems not-so-exciting building,
sitted by middle road... ...
i realised... ...
i could do many things during the 1 hr.
walking bugis village and bugis junction,
has become a 'favourite' past time...
any food that cost less than $3 will perk me up,
any clothes that could be bought at
nothing more than $10 will catch my attention,
any accessory that is priced at $5 will attract me.
(money doesnt come by easy! i seem broke all the time)
working is definitely NO FUN.
staring at the computer screen from 9-12, 1-6,
results in life-less eyes.
food and tea are the essentials to keep me awake
through all the what seems endless typing.
the magical words -
LUNCH TIME,
OK THANKS,
(big SMILE from the manager)
all inject ENERGY into me
because they = TIME TO GO HOME!
the most important thing i realised about myself:
my maintenance fee is NOT cheap
(i always thought i was *cries*)
MONEY isnt easy to come by,
to my daddy and mummy,
thanks for all that was spent on me!
i will work hard...
and ... ... (i guess you know what)
DADDY MUMMY I LOVE YOU!!!

once,twice
if you can do it once,
there is no reason why
you cannot do it this time round.
and i will be left here
stupidly waiting for the same outcome?

FRIDGE
i miss her lame jokes SO BADLY!!!!
i missed those times back in nanyang
where boring breaks were killed with her lame jokes,
where waits for each A level paper to begin
was spiced with those laughter.
i want those times to come back!!!
she once said, 'if i dont know which uni i want to go,
i'll follow where you go! share the same hostel!!'
will things come true this way?
it will be cool, she's a great room mate to have!
to this special gift from God
(HE really answered both our prayers
for we both asked for the same gift)
i hope you are coping well with the job that you are doing now.
may all your aspirations and wishes come true.
dont forget the many little promises we made together!
may you continue to grow strong in HIS words.
may our friendship blossom in HIS love!
3 cheers to our friendship!

2008
what will you unfold into?
anxiety will fill this year as i await for the release of the 2007 A level results.
i'm not sure what awaits me at the end of this seems to be very long break.
may it be something that is worth the effort that i have put in these 2 years.
may it glorify the Lord that has taken care and guided me through
all those big and small exams that i feared too much
not to have cleared them and repeat another year.
but before i wonder what this year will bring to me,
i'll sing praises to the ALMIGHTY one for HE has his ways for me,
though i may not understand them at times
and questioned too quickly to see the beauty and wisdom
that HE has put into planning my life.
i thank-you for all that you've done for me,
may i continue to grow in your
everlasting words, love, blessings, grace, and wisdom.
this year, will also unfold another new chapter of my life.
Nanyang is over, but i will still miss it too dearly,
from the building, to your mesmorising night beauty,
to the principal who left a great impression, and accepted what the youths thought,
to the caring passionate teachers, the lessons they spent nights preparing,
to all those special you(s) that have brought laughter and tears to me.
all have left beautiful footprints in my memory that i'll never forget.
tomorrow i'll experience something that i've missed
because i had no privilege of holding any leadership post
that forfeited my chance of any job attachment.
for this hard to come by chance, i'll work hard,
I will PROVE IT!
make a wish, make a wish,
may i be blessed with the university and the course that is suitable for me.
my brains too, please dont get too rusty before school reopens some time later.
to my friends out there,
be it those that i've not seen you for a long time or talk to for the past years,
i hope that this year, whatever friendship that was neglected,
will find its foundations again.
stay in touch!
since 2007 is over,
i shall learn to put it behind, and look forward to a new start.
the pains, the tears, the laughter, the smiles, the sweet and sour that you brought,
i'll keep in my memory, and let all be carved on stone,
so that in happy times, i'll know how to treasure them,
and in trying times, i'll know how to smile (;
-2008-
may you be filled with
WISDOM,
MATURITY,
GRACE,
COMPASSION,
& LOVE
