today is the last day of the year...tml....2005 will come..2004 will go...one year. 365 days.so much had happened...the whole gobal world and of coz my own little world...of coz the most concerned matter now would be The Tsunami killer wave....it's destruction was undeniable...as i looked at the papers and the news on tv...it's unbelieveable what nature can do....the aftermath seemed more like a twister zone... death rates still going up...continue to pray...but what done is done...sometimes we may wonder..y God is doing this...but i believe there's a reason behind it...dun ask mi what...i dun noe too...
Last year around this time..the worlds moans over the death of HK star Mei Jie aka Mei Yan Fang...
This year...
i dun think i need to tell you guys...
In a way...i think it is for the better...It's always better to end with something bad rather than starting the year with a sad news...at least we haf something to look forward to in the next 365days...
4 me...2004 was a year of transition..from secondary school to holidays....from holidays to holidays in school(poly)...life is slowing down...i'm slowing down...nono..i think i've stopped...after my O's...i thought everything would fall in place...i would be happy bla bla bla...confirmations were made..but never fulfiled...or rather,i was hoping for a rainbow...but it never came.
Questions remained as questions....those with the answers...was not the answers i was looking for...
But i always believed..."What comes around....goes around..." Grin*******
My resolutions???my condolence to familys members affected by the Tsunami....
as for ah-hao..
he had stopped hoping since 23/11/2003....
haf a fun day...
i'll see u guys next year....=)
26th Dec. a day after Christmas..An earthquake of magnitude 9.0(the strongest in 40 years....) strikes in the middle of the Indian Ocean..somewhere near west of Sumatra..Although tremors were "reportly" being felt in Singapore...i guessed most of us didn't felt it...Places like Africa and Australia also felt the termor.
The resultant of this action is what we call "Tsunami".Pronounced as "Sunami",it is one or a series of ocean surface waves that occurs after a large energy moving in a vertical component in r near the sea.In this case,the earthquake is the energy.
If u guys think Tsunami are actually tidal waves...u are wrong!!!hahahhaa...why???simple!!!bcoz they are not caused by tides!!hahahaha!!These waves can travel as far as 200 km at the speed of about 700km/h,few storeys high.The impact of these waves can be similar of a reasonable amount of atomic bombs.
It saddens me when i see families holding on tight to their dead babies,crying out for sum1 to save them.Who could that someone be??
It saddens mi when i see villagers lining up those dead stiff bodies on the field,their hands and legs stiffening up in a helpless manner...U could have probably noe how they were trying to struggle from from there.
It saddens mi to know that the disater had taken 20k+ ppl...
one question remains...
Is it time?????

The tittle is already giving me the reluctancy to write on....but nevertheless...
"knock knock"
*door opens half-way**
"哈咯Auntie. 你好，我是从 Boy's Brigade 来的。"
Auntie gives a frown.
"哦，Auntie 不要怕，我不是来买东西的。“
"bla..bla...bla...."
Five minutes later...
Auntie gives another frown.
"好了Auntie,谢谢你的时间。“
Auntie said,
"Le Gong SI MI????!?!？"(Hokkein)
WAH．．．．．．．．．．．．．-_-'''
I was actually out at Bukit Batok doing a door-to-door publicity about the SGB on Sat.Sharity Gift Box...A little history...SBG is actually a yearly event adopted by the Boy's Brigade in 1987.It's aim is to appeal to the public for donations ranging from foods and gifts that are being sent out to the needys..
Our aim for that day was to tell the residents of specified blocks in B.B tht we'll be collecting food items from them next sat. when we come back again.
It's actually an interesting experience...
Some were exceptionally friendly and warm....
Some were..em....more hostile...
Some didn't even bother to open the door...even though i hear noises inside...
I guessed they must be traumatized by persistent salesmen trying to sell their $299.99 pillow or something...Or i guess we've all develop this kind of fear, or rather"i live in my unit. u live in your's.dun bother mi" attitude.Maybe growing up in this big concrete jungle have somehow "cemented" our hearts.....
Hmm...oh..Monday...here it came.One week of schooling....chiong ah....
Juggling with work and school is not easy...it never was....not to mention the time i still have to set aside for my CCA ...i've anticipated it...but i'm sure it can be done...i think i just need to fine-tune it...

＂自我安慰。。。。。“

Swam for a while b4 i bathe and got down to work at BP.Luckily there was a direct bus there..

Things didn't seem to be going the right way last nite....I lost my biking gloves worth 40 bucks on the way back....before that Jo's tyre went flat after an death defying attempt to clear the gap between the dividers...so we had to push it all the way back from Bukit Batok...ZZZZZZ...
What do u guys do when u and hungry tired...and far away from home??
Ans:grab a banana and eat man!!!

On the way back at jurong west, we managed to get hold of a tube,with the help of some tools..=p Dun ask us how we got it...we juz did it..Managed to fixed it on my bike.(i exchanged my tyre with Jo.) We proceed to Mobil to inflate our tyres..

So i got to push my bike even further....Even my shoelaces went off and i nearly tripped over and fall!!!how bad can the day be?!?!?!?! =(

"Jiu(4)de(4)bu(4)qu(4)xing(1)de(4)bu(4)lai(2)." "old one no go, new one how to come."Maybe it's time to let her go..."ha..but it's still new!!!!argh!!!!!!!!!=\
Maybe it's a chance to u guys reading this to do something abt it..Christmas is here...HAHAHA...=)
Yesterday(or rather the day before yesterday): i was meeting the BB primiers at pasir ris for a Community Service programme.We had to gather there like at 0915..so i woke up super early...but i was still late..hmm ok..that's no the point..Our purpose there was to accompnay the mildly intellectually disabled students in the Ecape Theme Park and Wild Wild Wet. We were briefed and then proceed with an introduction of us and the pupils.Thesepupils were from Tanglin Special School.
When i first looked at them,they looked very normal to me.But as i begin to interact and play with them on the rides...i realised.Hey!!!they're like normal people too!!!juz that the child in them is more "hyper" than us...They were a grest bunch of people..they haf their own thinking and minset...juz like us...They looked exceptionally happy with they got unto their go-karts rides...Oh yea..i haf my turn too..=p
After the theme park and makan we went to the Wild Wild Wet.So everybody changed into thier swimming gear..exvept ME...silly stupid ME.I didn;t bring my swim wear LA...well..not that i dun wanna bring but i trired to wear the other nite..but =x too small already...too long never swim...LOL....i could at least brought an extra set of clothes...but no!!!i didn't...didn't noe what was i thinking when i heard that we would be go WWW...stupid...ha...
Well bo bian...so i spent the rest half of the afternoon looking after the tubings and their bags....4 long hours in the sun even thought i even went into the water..i was slacking away sitting on a tube and reading newapaper...hmm..i don't noe if the students had fun but my doubts were cleared when the guys came back happy. But there was this boi, that came back in the middle of the water splashing and fun soaking...i went up to him and ask him y he was sitting there alone when his frends were hafing rest.
He didn't reply.
I asked again."tired ah??"
"har???ya...tired la.."He said, in a tone like trying to satisfy my questioning..
Hearing that,i kept quiet..It went silent for a moment.Something was wrong.I should tok...so i started to bombard him with questions.....
"what's your name??""how old r u??""what's your fav. band??"
He answered a few of them and mumbled off the others..
After all that questioning...u turned to mi and stumbled off after saying he's gonna find his frends..and that he has rested enuff...LOL...
The boi, kinda reminds me of myself...i like to be the man that dun like to have too much fun...i dun haf that capacity to fill that happiness...i need to be alone often..and be the man behind the scenes.Juz like the boi...which is the same age as mi,if i can remember..
In BB primiers, i try my best to keep a low profile...i dun like to speak..unless i'm being spoken to..People might think i'm acting cool or wat...maybe i am la...but nah...maybe not...COnfuseD** That's why i dun link up well the the ppl in primiers..they're all a bunch of lively peeps...i guessed they're too happening for me...HAHAHA...
i go slp,later still gotta work. =/
