the sweetest couple ever / 2 weeks b4 i get on the bike

I love my job... seriously.

cos i get to know about ppl's life... and once u gain thier trust... they become more open towards you....tell you things which are close to thier heart.... end of it all... you feel proud of what you have been doing... makes you more inspired to reach out to the pppl around you... and more imptly make you happier to know that there are many beautiful ppl around

mark was my buddy in ADF. we did crazy things together in my 3 mths there

do pt at midnight... no joke you know... doing one thousand stairway crunches, 500 pushups and 100 pull ups every alternate nights

i had lots of fond memories thr. my rs with ADF did not end with my attachment... i went on to help out thier unit later on and made lots of close friends along the way... me and mark started the triathlon craze together

however after i was attached out for overseas cycling competitions....i kinda lost contact with him

we just msg each each other not long ago and met up for coffee.

i always love this guy for his honesty and wicked laughters and his caring personality

his love story is the kind which makes you think that true love does exist

have u seen a real extreme couple?

mark: only complete o'lvl jean(his gf): degree holder


thier love story is just like a typical met on the streets and just click....
then as usual...gals' parents object cos of status and jean's friends disapprove of the guy

but being mark... a typical endurance sports fella... went on to prove that he may not be a scholar or earn big bucks... but he will definitely be there for her when she needs him.

thats ultimately what a gal wants from a guy... a sense of security.

all these hearsay about how nice the gf is finally tug my heartstrings today.
so as i said earlier... i met mark and jean for lunch... i was skeptical at first as i thought she will be resilent towards me cos i am a financial consultant.

she gave me the chance and attention which i greatly appreciate

this is the first time i met a girl who took interest in wat i have got to say.

she gave me her frank opinion that ppl will do business with ppl who care and the person you are will ultimately draw ppl who have the same traits as you.

Well I did think over wat she said and realize its very true.


Anyway:

I got my first ever wedding invites

And I got a job offer at Bloomberg and Morgan Stanley Singapore… that is of cos… if I meet the grades in uni. I see the power of net working.

Gary told me to start thinking of where I wanna be in a few yrs time.

Ok… I decided… I gonna get a Bemeer by age of 27 hahaha

2 big clash that is a must watch:

Holland VS Portugal today!!!

C ronaldo... sara go watch! u sure drool over him one!

clash betw ruud and ronaldo...

i say half time will be 1-1...

before full time figo will be mark leaving an open space and ronaldo will strike one and rebound the goal post... ball trap by holland... cross one to Robben... robben will pass to ruud... he will pass one to van persie... van persie do a fake pass to ruud only to leave robben to do the finishing touch.

final score 2-1

spain VS France on tues.

face off betw torres, roaul....( bet reyes have not meet the mark,so will be on the bench... he was a great play maker against saudi) and henry, viera... mekelele...



then there is the england match... england shd create opportunities for lampard.... lampard shd continue to strike from long ranch....

3 tactics:

match up betw lennon and becks
becks always lose the ball... lennon always gets the ball back.
with lennon playing behind becks... becks can conc on crossing a high ball over to robocop.
possibility: with crouch inability to get to the ball in time... prob of scoin is 10%


work betw joe cole and frank lampard... the 2 chelsea players shd continue cause the opponent defence to suffer. lampard shd wear his chelsea boots today... and continue to shoot from long range.

rooney if he plays today... he shd relax on the pace as the opposing team has nth to lose and will try all means to take him down.

a good goal by him will definitely cause the eng crowd to go wild

then there is always steven to finish off the game at the 90th min.

still full of nonsense

joined the guards AHM team for run at east coast park today.

they are still the same after 1 yr of not seeing them

i don't understand
1) how 10 out of 15 runners can wear shades on a day when there is no sun

2) how 3 guys can be at different time the boy friend of a girl who i knew in JC

3) how i can wear my ASICS kayano shoes today after complaining to them last yr that i will nv wear this pair of shoes again

i am broke!!!

oh well was fun...
but too bad nv see ppl like rashidin and tiger... everyone is busy for national day!!

oh well at least i know one more GDS senior in NTU... LTA Danny!

k so my list of gds seniors(scholars) in NTU are

danny

eng soon

jason

nong tat

k if randy really finds a FB... i will crash danny's or nong tat's room.
all shit fails... i will go over to eng soon's house to stay.

cool!

my g-d... i miss army... i miss Guards!

moving on

talked a while with martin my sec sch senior in choir yest

after so many yrs he still has grudges against some of the choir ppl

i really don't know how to explain to him to leave the burden behind.

or maybe i simply forgotten all bout it already


the art of forgetting is easy... but it its leaves an unfilled impression in your life

why i said that?
just a few weeks back i was catching a movie at cine when i saw yan li(my jc choir junior) on the str.apparently she is now in amadeus (my alumni choir) and kinda begged me to go back to sing with them.

i called my sec sch choir teacher yest... actually was just to fix up a time on sat for me and martin to go down... but we started talking bout the past... one thing ms lau always remember was the politics we always had back then.

teachers don't like conductor.... teachers don't like students to like conductor.... students don't like teacher cos they are inflexible... i feel like laughing at all the mini issues which can cause a big 'hoo ha'.

yes politics are every where.
but its very interesting how politics are handled by ppl at diff level.



going back to the topic of going back to my sec sch choir this sat.
i really don't feel like going... cos i really don't know wat to say.

i hated the fat man for lots of reasons in JC.

i was nv his gay companion cos i always get turned off by him.me and him just can't sing the same tune

i remembered the first thing which i didn't disagree was his statement," a servant only serves one master."

i nv treated myself as a servant....i don't do things cos other ppl ask me to....
even in army... i was condemned in my mother unit-engineers cos i don't believe in following instructions which doesn't make sense to me
ironically... my determintaion to stick to my ideals make me an asset to Guards

and i think its very selfish to restrict a person to wat he can do. esp for boys of only 13-18 yrs old who have so much out there to see and learn.

another reason for me drifting away from the choral scene is the companionship in track
like i told ppl many times... i really wonder why is it that even though track is an individual sport... the friends we made thr still follow us till today.

hui li, sara, jins... lingli... ivor.... we just have so much to crap about when we meet.
even during gerald's 21st.... i just started molesting him like i always do even though i haven't met him for yrs.



even though i am moving on... i always wonder wat the rest are doing.
but one thing for sure... choir is not, nv my cup of tea

its just the way the oragnisation was at that time
during jc track,
coach chew always encourage us to learn more things when we are younger... learn more sports and skills in life... and captain ivor really show the way by walk the talk.

and now with schr_ders... the bonding really can't be explained...i feel attached like i nv used to
but of cos, i have to admit that we seldom see the whole team turn up for trg.... coach tiboo always say the day the whole team comes... the sun will rise from the west.
but our 'MO QI' on the field really makes the team a fun and exceptional one.
so it doesn't have to be a full showout of ppl... but when we go for trg... we make sure we contribute effort to the team


i just miss the team. i miss schr_ders

rooting for my one and only family far away

went back to camp today!!

as usual raymond was late late late!!!

oh well was fun la.... knowing wat everyone is fine.

saw maj ronnie yap- my boss/ team mate / F & B @ arty office.
has been a long time since i last saw him

still his funny vulgar self.... and a fun loving concerned 38 yr old heart inside

glad to know schr_ders working towards clinching national championship

too bad only JU and DAn has the chance... nv talk bout darrel.. but think he needs to start his service in army thats why

anyway guys i really really really miss you guys!!!!

my heart really swell when i saw vick and darrel on sat.

really really miss you!!

i wonder why too.

sometimes love just can't be explained



watched cars today with raymond and zhenghan
was fuN!
esp watching with the 2 greatest buds from army

i teared at end of show.
shucks... first time....
can't remember a time i cried during a movie
not to say a cartoon

but i guess its just sth i can relate to.
its just like a movie made for me

the character's trait is almost identical.

rookie.... breaking into the scene
same time inexperienced and cocky

everytime they show a crash my heart just jumped.
looks like i haven't gotten over the accident yet

this show is definitely the show which depicts the story of me and my bike

so i wonder... who is gonna be the one who will change my life altogether
make me live for someone else

who is gonna be my por'she



When you find yourself
In some far off place
And it causes you to rethink some things
You start to sense that slowly
You're becoming someone else
And then you find yourself

When you make new friends in a brand new town
And you start to think about settlin' down
The things the would have been lost on you
Are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself
Yeah that's when you find yourself

Where you go through life
So sure of where you�re headin'
And you wind up lost and it's
The best thing that could have happened
�Cause sometimes when you loss your way it's just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that�s when you find yourself

When you meet the one
That you've been waitin' for
And she's everything that you want and more
You look at her and you finally start to live for some one else
And then you find yourself
That�s when you find yourself

When we go through life
So sure of where we're headin'
And we wind up lost and it's
The best thing that could have happened
�Cause sometimes when you loss your way it's just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that's when you find yourself



i love schr_ders with all my heart, love and soul

the thing about money

i just hate the new trend of," no need study la... thr are other ways of getting rich" and the many short cut routes around

my brother recently just joined a NLM company.
not that he got no moeny. he got lots of money actually.
scholarship from PSA,job which brings starting pay of 3.8K, persoanl instructor at planet fitness.this job fetch him bout 2K and he works only like 4 hrs per week?

so like another salesman... he says the things about his products... put down products of other comapnies," no la.... magnet mattress don't work one, all bluff money."

yest i met up with someone who sells magnet matress part time.

so when he see that i am so young and starting out as a financial planner... he says," why not try my company... also commission based wat, its good to try many many things when you are young, don't waste your time"

6 mths back, i will have tell you," sorry my life evolve round cycling... i just doing a job to sustain my standard of living... not out to be rich."

but i took the beating today... letting him say me until i think i am just like a typical teenager wasting my prime life away clubbing, drinking, chilling out with friends

why?

someone told me recently that ppl see you as wat u are today, your past is of no interest to them.

you may be from RJ, top scorer there, top sportsman... lots of gf... but if today you will to be jobless, flirting ard, still depending on parents for money even when u are married
... in society pt of view... u are a failure living off your parents' riches.

during my army days, when my understudy show me a businesss plan he was in, i was turned off by the ppl thr cos of the words they say," young man, its time to make use of your time."

and mind you, these ppl are round my age, and are that kind who wasted thier teenag life away playing arcade... playing pool singing K BOX... and maybe wanking every other night

i remembered at that time... my blood boil.

1) i hate ppl to think they know me cos no one ever got to 50% of who i am

2) i wanted to say, hello little boy, there are many things i achieve which u can nv smell even when u reach 50


but question now is," so wat?"

so wat if i was a president of a choir from sec sch to jc.

so wat if i can do 2 CCA during Uni and still obtain satisfactory grades

so wat if the amry offer me a scholarship which i rejected

so wat if i obtained more awards and regconition in army than anybody at my age

so wat if i am multi talented

so wat if i progess from one who can't cycle properly to the top few cyclists in singapore

so wat if am able represent singapore?


So wat???
the world see you as who u are today... not wat u are yest.

you may work hard yesterday... but you don't work hard today...you are considered lacklustrd, slack...


you hold a degree... you may earn less than someone who just got 3 O'LVL passes.

simply cos of globalisation.
thr are many many areas which supercedes just a degree alone

an individual may strike a deal with someone who he is comfortable with
the someone does not need to be a rocket scientist.
he just need to have high EQ and ans the person's needs

so for those who are studying now, in my opinion, its good to love wat u are studying. nv study cos you think it will bring you a bright future.

i really admire doctors, lawyers and designers who study cos of the passion.

cos passion is sth which goes a long way.
the love for wat u do is sth money can't buy.

anyway i still cherish the things i did int the past
your past may not be interest to anybody... but it makes up who you are today.
the past is for me to keep heh =)

to a certain someone

i just thought of this phrase not long ago which made me think back bout all the stupid things we did last 2 mths

no money-> no honey-> no Food Breverages

a big shout out to sara!!!

the power of internet- maybe i am linked to amanda bynes hahah

today was quite fun

i love taking exams-no i am not an ah tiong... the crave for exam pressure just came recently.

i just love to see ppl mug b4 exam furiously.... while i read newspaper in front of them

this happeed during my lopen questions exam 2 weeks back

senario: everyone was mugging
me, reading bout roooney and walcot

gal: u not studying? give up already ah

me: ronaldino b4 match nv practise scoring one

gal: aiyah give up say give up la. wah lau must persevere

i just sniggle away... i really don't believe things can get into your head last min

the exam was 2 hrs... i finish in 1 hr... 1st person to hand up. the class started laughing cos apparently the class thought i really give up liao.

15 min later... my teacher announced," highest score in 7 yrs...

everyone's jaws dropped man. -the last time i felt that effect was the goal i scored from 1/2 way pitch during one of those bedok reservior match.

so i finish another paper today and went to visit sara at her JPW shop.

she supposedly pang sei me for her friend wei lian

hahhaa so i waited with her....

not bad la sara's energy lasted thru out the night... she conserve her energy very well today


SPAIN ROX!!!!

wow my prediction is gonna be true...
either spain or brazil.

i starting to love spain more cos of thier steady rythm

all the way from def to striking force. totally no flaws man.

fernando torre scored a beautiful 4th goal!
best world cup goal so far.
not just the goal instinct but the build up of passing b4 the strike

shiok man!!!

no need raul or my reyes to make me happy hahhahaa

12 of June.

brings back memory.

4 yrs back was a memory of a big heart ache.
love then hatrd then don't know don't know in just 12 days in china
quite remakable that me, her and her bf still keep in contact till today

a yr back was the day i felt the most blessed.
an angel finally entered my life.
everything i asked for... intellectual... sporty... independent... chirpy....
loves to eat....

oh well but too bad we knew each other at a time when she was bout to enter uni...
as usual met a guy... and i think till date... they are still happily together

i dreamt bout her the night b4....
quite strange la... cos it has been a long time since she last appeared in my dreams..
last time round i dreamt i was in rjc... and we were caught by a teacher for trying to get out of sch....
this time round i dreamt me and her were trying to elope from the country.

but the dream stopped when i enter malaysia custom...
i think cos too many black ppl... mind cannot paint a picture out of it. too dark

i couldn't do any studying yest...
just wanted to serenade someone.... make someone fall in love with me

i reach that step la
but the person turns out to be andrew.

no money no honey... for pride for glory

i am gonna sign on SOF....

its wat everyone is asking me to do

its sth i will have done if i was an orphan


but...


not.

ha! i wonder wat the trg warrant of this yr AHM team told them

or rather wat the HQ ppl say bout me

can't wait to meet this yr's team

total of 36 runners this yr

just round 12 seniors.... 6 ns men....the rest are new birds

had supper with mark and kel on tues...
was quite hilarious... seeing how they kick up thier nonsense again

mark is tempting me with his ironman competition!!

a 3.6km swim, 112 km cycle and 42km run...

k the only thing i can't do is swim

not that i can't swim, but i nv gone that distance, and i hate swimming actually

so mark says," stevee... sign on la, then can cycle and run with me every day."

ye thats life man.

i miss my army days
2 mths in nee soon special force was real fun



but even with all the fun.. i am always scared....
of accidents and injuries cos i'm seriously injury prone

so till date... i haven't rode a bike in 2mths, 14 days, 6hrs,13min.

now is tennis... tennis .... tennis.

and soon will be golf, tennis, golf tennis...

and of cos world cup!!! in betw b4 the sch term starts

i just volunteered for NDP 06 btw.
to ans to my nation's call
not even gonna take a single cent

i feel proud and fortunate as no one will ever do free labour
but i choose to

cos i feel indebted to Guards for the exp in lfie they have given me

and for the friends i made a long the way

for the help they given me for me to carry on with life after army

for the many awards and certs i received

i am so glad they chose me from the start

Clement ROX

25% off
coollll!!!

super duper good shopping exp today with raymond and clement

clement makes a good sales person

he knows his shirt real well

i now know how to choose a good shirt from a bad one.. thr are so many factors to consider:

the thread

how the sleeves to seam with the body portion( topsman sux on this portion) i don;t believe it, if u look closely at shirts, u will notice the patterns do not go hand in hand and are of diff shades



the collar... some are real droopy

even the buttons make a diff too...


cool!

a good investment it is


anyway dear zhenghan,

if u are reading this,

pls msg to say u are ok

me and raymond really miss you lots

perhaps u wanna just shut things off, don't talk bout lots of stuff

but keeping to yourself waiting for time to heal the pain will not make you a happier person

i don't want to see u being sad

raymond won't want the boy scout chairman to be this way

lester, your close friends from bravo will not want to see you this way too

i am not someone who will say exp what u went thru last few mth

i sincerely feel its quite normal to feel no one will understand u
but hatrd and disbelief is just a tribute to more pain

i just hope the reason why u not answering our msg and calls is cos u are away in another country or sth

if not... do join us for our trip to malaysia


the three of us came from different walks of life

the only similarity betw 3 of us when we met is the word victoria

but now, we have this in common

we each being thru a rough patch in life,

a prob not many teenagers face

though we may not talk much about the prob
just as we don't agree with one aother most of the time

we have always being there to add colours to each other life

which i feel is the most beautiful thing a genuine friendship can give

are we materialistic cos we live in a material world?

i make a discovery yest...
that i do not have such a commendable eq afterall

connecting with a client just isn't easy

its not bout my face
not bout my breath

i guess my ability to understand ppl has somehow failed me

on a happier note,

this is my first entry on my mac book

i wached CNA '20/20' just now

bon jovi and madonna were on it

omg i just adore bon jovi
i nv miss any of his documentary from oprah show to 20/20
i just love his set of teeth and chiselled lower jaw

i love jon bon jovi as a person because he has a beautiful career and a beautiful personal life
he contributes back to the society by doing his own charity work... making personal trips to children home.
u shd have seen the faces on the children face when he told them each of them wil have a new bag... new books... new pencil case and a new lap top each

how many artists will do that?


yuks...
madonna has flabby tighs now
maybe its cos of the little workout she does after the freak accident
anyway...
she said sth which made me ponder over the cake i was making in the toilet,'
everyone is materialistic, its just the extend of it."

so how does one define materialistic?
the amt of wealth?
the car we wld love to have?

someone pls educate me
