Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart~

nice line~ what a great way to describe - eclipse... =)


So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your jobs a joke, you're broke,
your love life's D.O.A~ (Dead On Arrival - death on way to hospital)

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
And it hasn't been
your day,
your week,
your month,
or even your year~

but..

I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...

cute song haha~

If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say~

No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies aren't blue
No matter what the end is
My life began with you~

I know this love's forever,
That's all that matters now,
No Matter What

Love Stephen's voice, pity that brilliant singers prospered too early...
and now we're left with just music...

woah cool~!!

You'll never know how far you can go until you have gone too far~

I had gone far enough as a volunteer role, should tone down le haha =)sometimes I wonder what's wrong for a volunteer wanting to know more so that they can make constructive suggestions rather than just to accept the changes made. I believe a volunteer as wholehearted as me is rare thus nothing wrong for me to know staff-only stuffs, this is the way a cooperation can prosper, by everyone going for the extra mile.

But oh well, I left a month anyway, better just enjoy my time before hell (probably) arrives, "You'll never know how far you can go until you went too far" quoted by samy rajoo and kaiyu shixiong, both in eng and chinese, I guess I reached my limit haha =)anyway not a staff, why bother so much?

Leadership is NOT the ability to influence others to do something they are NOT COMMITTED to, but rather, to NUTURE a CULTURE that MOTIVATES and even EXCITES individuals to do what is required for the benefit of all...

Practical Wisdom is the blending of Moral Will and Moral Skill.

Moral Will: the will to do the right thing
Moral Skill: figure out what doing right means

spoke by TED speaker Barry Schwartz, quoted from Aristotle

三十輻共一轂，當其無，有車之用。

埏埴以為器，當其無，有器之用。

鑿戶牖以為室，當其無，有室之用。

Thirty spokes on a wheel, usefulness lies on its holes.

Shape clay into vessel, usefulness lies on its space.

Cut doors and windows for a room, usefulness lies on the gap.

当其无之用 = the thing that is not there is the usefulness of it.

Creative projects that you may have been working on for a while could prove especially ego boosting, Cancer. You're doing a great job. A change of employment and increase in income may be in the works. If you don't feel passionate about what you're doing, expect the chance to become involved in an enterprise that you do feel strongly about. New ideas and opportunities could change your life.

Spooky or what, I just checked this a minute ago, and indeed its true since I supposed to win $290 today, though i discounted alot and treat them for a $50 bucks meal in the end. Today was the first time I won such huge amount of money, though didnt even receive more than 40% of it, still it was fun and thrilling haha.

CNY was rather fun, in sg that is haha, in indo all I did was to sightseeing houses haha, since houses there are more luxurious than those here by at least ten fold =).

On 5th feb, the moment I stepped back, I invited wlwx over to have a feast and taste my handpicked $80 cake, then have a dinner, sort of a small gathering, pity sin5 was absent.

On 6th feb we went to hotel royale for lion dance performance, dang I didnt knew being the lion tail is so tough! haha, after that felt like an old man getting back aches.

On 8th feb, after my childcare we went to MBS to visit 6th uncle, and had a swim with there with tai and jomkwan, and had the first supper with both our mums.

On 11 feb we had a small bds bai nian consist of kayjin, boonyang, jazreel cheo, cheuck, angus, tai and bryan, to my house and kayjin's house, we ended at katong laksa for dinner. Joke of the day was when I was the narrator of polar bear, then it was morning time and jazreel asked: no one died?, and i replied: Oh, jazreel died.... Oh we had fun playing blind mice at kayjin house too haha, felt so young then haha

On 12 feb we had wuxuan bai nian, my highest record of houses, mine, sin5, tai, shixiong, johann, wanyan, jiece zhujiao, kaiyue shijie (counted as half since she was not at home) and jiaolian, we had bbq dinner at jiaolian house like last year. For me I visited joel's house as well as bbtc too since I was suppose to help out in the pop excel cny funfair =) We lohei at sx house. I would say it was a hectic but fun and enjoyable and undisappointing bai nian unlike last year. We had fun 'disco-ing' while bbq-ing, playing with jiaolian's kid, piano and watching soccer match for the first time, I gained knowledge of wine too~

Along the trip we had lots of jokes too, but kindda forgot most of them, well it was all the way laughing, it was really fun =) oh yea, we caught the last train from senkang to outram, and the last train from outram to eunos, cool~! and then jo tai and sin5 sleptover at my house, we developed a risk-like warkings deal game and tried 5 packets of instant noodles haha~

祝大家~

天天 pretty,

时时 happy,

分分 healthy,

秒秒 lucky,

永不 lonely,

多多 money!

兔年快乐！愿你我他都兔然发财~！

Few more days till my return to sg. Been bored in Indo, except for the shopping part, the rest was rather crap, until today where I went to waterbom with darryl tan.

About the shopping part, I bought 10 shirts, 4 pants at 200 bucks, mix of cheap and luxurious shirt, first time went on such shopping frenzy haha. Usually I would just buy a set (shirt+pants) a year like what i do for the past 8 years, but this time I broke record haha.

Waterbom part was fun too, it was almost deserted, thus we kindda had the whole place to ourselves, and yea it's definitely better than www in sg in terms of thrill and size of the theme park. Feels young again haha =)

Then, there is none other activities but sitting in the car =( feel like a cages bird being dragged around like mr bean's teddy, just making some noises along the way and groom myself. I know why the caged bird sings now....

Indo is confirmed not a suitable place for me, firstly is my rusty indo bahasa, secondly the constant need of car for transport, thirdly 3 families under one roof, fourthly no freedom of expenses, fifthly naggy grandmother that cant talk back coz she's rather old so no heart to do so. However she treats my dad like a patient instead of a son, and never puts her mind at ease about dad despite being over 50, and kept 'blaming us' and 'reminding us' for anything and everything.

Oh puncak was suppose to be good, but i had nothing to talk with yi zhang gong, thus no point me wasting time sitting outside watching news since its taiwan news, not dramas like last few years that i could at least discuss the drama with them. Then grandma nagged again for being in the room always, or just at the ktv room until meal times. Sigh, my family is too mindful about many things to the point of being petty. A small meal at friend's house, a sleepover, borrowing or lending items, these are trivial to me but like apocalypse for them!

Other than these, it's peaceful in indo, too peaceful that i got bored, since im someone who is almost out 24/7... social butterfly, look at me, i dare say my social circle is bigger than my dad's family combined. Sometimes, little things dont be too petty, trivial tings dont take it too seriously, mind your words but crack a joke once in a while, gift and receive, treat and be treated, these are social rules....

Miss the child care haha, somehow I just love kids, but not too young (coz their cries are ears-piercing, and their attitudes are irritating), probably p5-sec3...

Well, chatted alot about success with dad, I dont know what my future holds, but I'm sure I wont 饿死街头~! I really hope my social circle could bring me somewhere, and hope that they can benefit from me be it directly or indirectly for example from my friend to other friend.

Btw sx wanted to revive the bcc back to the thriving days. I really hope weide zijian bryan, cheuck, bowei, the few newcomers, and maybe ex-trainees like eyxun, and perhaps kids in childcare can help him achieve that goal... but I lazy be sx, firstly lazy, secondly unfair to johann and sheng hui, even tai fong, prefer being the slacker haha =) but i do hope besides wushu, be teach a lil of chinese culture and chinese language too =) I remember sx asked us what a particular chinese term means, haha that time still quite shy didnt say the answer, so do most of them, only one of a ex-trainee answered, i forgot who haha. At least improve sg chiinese standard abit, a seashell at a time counts~

CNY coming, for this upcoming year, que sera sera, just hope for all the best, to me, my education, my family, wuxuan, my friends, and to all souls in the world~!

Anyway, I can still continue in childcare, my good intentions are not ignored, haha 人行善，福虽未到，祸已远离；人行恶，祸虽未到，福已远离
