sum rather random stuff.. but it's juz stayin my mind lately..

as we all noe.. sec4 is sumwad a crucial year bcoz of o lvls, which links to life aft tt... education frm there on n career in mind bla bla bla.


pursueing dreams vs living comfortable
objective: Happiness

one can nv get the best of both worlds.. ok or at least I can nv get the best of both.. perhaps it's bcoz my dreams r shallow n impractical. but wad i'm tinkin abt is going to work happily evryday. den agn.. my desired job MAY bring me lil income which is gonna make evryday life difficult.. stress over how to live by each day.. scrimping n saving n in the end a pile of unhappiness..

n if i look in the more pracical way, lyk all humans would, den i shud choose a job tt brings me loads of cashies.. only den can life b comfortable, living in luxury n comfort. imagine the car, the branded clothes, the face... ahh.. ok tt's juz so =DD.. but to tink of goin to work evryday, tt juz sux. draggin myself to work evryday n suffer! omg.. tt's pure TORTURE.. so there's no happy ending once again.

"tuesdays with morrie" had a teaching inside which was sumting bout "rejecting popular cultural beliefs in favour of self-created values". if i'm not wrong it's abt living on love, acceptance n appreciation over that of greed, violence n superficiality.. yep.. so frm my pt of interpretation, it would mean i go after my dreams n seek self-satisfaction frm wad truly gives substantial emotional fufilment.. n NOT live under the greed for $$$ n a confortable life..

BUT we haf the face the facts of tis practical society. money works.. money makes the world go round. money brings happiness.. money gives u life.. money buys u "face".. money buys u power.. money is EVERYTING. in terms of tis practical money-minded society, only money can bring me happiness? is tt it?, coz tt's wad it seems to b.

haix.. i'm so vexed over tis.. how m i goin to carry on wif my education when i dunno which route to take.. sumting tt suits my dreams? or sumting tt brings me to money? help.. help... argh!! now i m hating ADULT life.. imagine all the taxes, the expenses, the fees, the world of money n "face"... OMG!! i dun wan tt to come! sumhow i really tink i shud juz commit suicide man.. life seems to b getting worse n worse as we go on... no wonder sum1 came up wif these. "We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things get worse" & "Life is one of those things that most of us find very difficult to avoid"..

ok wadeva.. i dun wish to tok abt tis anymore.. it's killin me! i need sum1 to guide me.. coach daniel mayb? hmm....


tings r juz starting to become horrible...
but 1 ting will always remain...
AHS FALCON SCOUTS. i'm lovin' it.
lol x)

i dunno y, but evrytime aft a good long PLC i'll juz love scouts more. sumhow evry PLC seems to b a renewal of commitment. funny, but unexplainable. even i myself did not expect such a ting to happen. i thot i would haf hated scouts even more. =X

okok. tt aside. lemme tok abt TODAY's scouts & guides COMBINED ACTIVITY, planned by our dear sec3s... it was so-so la.. not really tt fun, coz it started out wif UNfun rules. no foodstuff is allowed! =_= dirty games without any sort food n paint. it juz lost the "feeling" of dirty-fun.

actually not UNfun rules la.. juz tt it's sumting NEW to adapt to... tt's y we can't really tink of a new way to TEKAN. XD


other tings for today would incl

1) the special morning assembly, where dr. boon had to come up wif a rather long "scolding" speech unexpectedly & 2 scouts vomited. had to hold back my coughs, which juz made the time so unbearable. o o o.. n NICE councillors were behind fanning to cool em down. thankew! ^.^

2) tour of sum e-zone skls principals ard AHS. basically i was i/c of the explanation on the D&T workshop n the E-Zone COE for sports. my horrid voice wasn't really good for it, but sumhow we (me & nienyuan) received praises tt the tour was well done. LOL.

3) SEL lesson on career guidance n stuff. COACH DANIEL!!! he's such a nice guy. ok so random.. results aft matching my interests n abilities: playwright & art teacher. LOL.



yeayea.. nth else le.. i'm feeling so tired frm such a long long day. toodles~!



remind me of those happiness...
it's juz unexplainable. xP
HAPPY SCOUTS' FOUNDER'S DAY! =D
LOL LOL LOL

as quoted frm the founder's day message document:





Dear Scouts

1. 2007 is a very special year for scouts all over the world, because it was 100 years ago that Lord Baden Powell started the scout movement with 22 boys on a small island in Dorset, England. Not many youth organizations can claim to be 100 years old and still have a membership of 28 million in more than 150 countries. I would like to share with you what I believe are the three reasons why scouting has remained relevant and popular even after so many years.

2. The first reason is that scouting is based on a set of values which are enshrined in the Scout Promise. A scout promises to
• do one’s best;
• do one’s duty to God and Singapore;
• help other people;
• and obey the values in the Scout Law.

3. These values have stood the test of time and are just as important, if not more so, in this fast changing world as it was 100 years ago. How successful you will be in future depends not so much on the knowledge and skills that you will learn in school but the values that you develop. If you learn to do your best in whatever you do, do your duty to your God and Singapore, and always be ready to help others, then I can assure you that you will be a successful person when
you grow up.

4. The second reason is the scout’s motto, which is “Be Prepared”. Always be prepared for the unknown and uncertainties that you will face in your life. Much has been said about how fast the world is changing as a result of globalization and the impact of technology. We cannot stop this trend. Neither can we choose not to be part of this change. However, a person who is prepared will regard these changes and uncertainties as opportunities that he/she can seize instead of threats that he/she should fear. Use the time you have in school to prepare yourself for this uncertain future.

5. The third characteristic of scouting is the emphasis on “brotherhood”. Lord Baden Powell said that the scout uniform is important because it “makes for brotherhood, since when universally adopted, it covers up all differences of class and country”. Therefore, contrary to popular belief, the scout uniform is not meant to make scouts into young soldiers but to develop a “brotherhood” that disregards class, race, language or religion. This characteristic of scouting has never been more important than in present times as we watch the world being torn apart by religious and ethnic conflicts. As a scout, it is your duty to understand people who may appear to be different from you because they have a different religion, customs, skin, colour or language. In fact, I would even say that you would have done your duty to Singapore if you can, in your own small personal way, contribute to better understanding among the different races and religions in and beyond Singapore.

6. Therefore as we celebrate 100 years of scouting, let us not forget the fundamental values and beliefs that make scouting a unique educational movement, and which are so critical in ensuring that you will grow to be a successful, upright, and happy person who will contribute to the betterment of our society. I would like to conclude by quoting Lord Baden Powell who asks every scout to “Leave this world a little better than you found it” and add that this is only possible if each one of us start by making ourselves better persons.

7. Happy Founder’s Day to all of you.

feeling random.. so i'll do a random ting. =)

posting lyrics of a song tt's stuck in my head. lol.
song can b found in the music player on the left.

Love, Me by Collin Raye
I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said,
"Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so."

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said:

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.

I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
Between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.

(on fri i even had difficulty sms'ing... ). carry a load of poles once is ok.. carryin 2 loads is juz manageable. carryin 3 juz left my arms weak n my back strained.. BUT 4 loads totally strained my arms n back.. tgt wif the constant knockin into my hip bone.. it was T.T...

n when all the laborious work was done, it was finally time to slack rest.. at first i was seriously slackin la... all the way frm morn till lunchtime... o but in between there was once which i brought the sec2s ard to take a look at the structures.. n we witnessed an ACCIDENT. it was rather horrifying.. there was this approx 3-4 storey high frame which slipped n fell, hitting 1 psn in the head. loads of blood frm his head, n he seemed to b shock(he juz stood there in a daze). seriously it was scary la...

den aft lunch, me n shawn juz started "working". lol. basically we were running ard to fill water, buy water/drinks, buy food.. n bishan park is seriously HUGE la.. even if it's not.. running accross it for 10 times will make it a long distance...

nth exciting.. only until late aftnn, when the competition events started.. tings got even beta frm the evening onwards... when it was the FINALS for the competitions.. results will b below.. heeheex.. aft the the results n stuff, we had to dismantle the structures, pack up n clear up.. n i witnessed a second ACCIDENT. a guy was crushed by a falling frame ard 4-5 m tall... it happened in the dark, ard 7++.. yep.. not sure wad happened to the guy, coz we were bz trying to dismantle our structure, rushing against time...

CARRIED the equipment to the truck n we headed back to skl. reached skl ard 9.45, did sum minor packin up n transferring of equipment, n HOME SWEET HOME...
