Chirstmas eve
Went out in the afternoon to watch a concert recommended by Mr Ngoh who only said tht it would be a percussion concert. When i finally got to YMS, realised tht it was a new percussion grp by the name of perCuzShiok!... cool name and recognised most of the peeps(there were only 8 of them) from perc fest which was like 2 years ago... bl says most of them from SYCO too.. lol, anyway, they played cool music, a mix of chinese, western, japanese and even african... not to mention that they were quite zai also... ha... 10 bucks well spent on christmas eve... lol, family dinner just ended, lots of food and alcoholic beverages.. So, to u ppl out there, Merry Christmas!
And if u haven't figure the bg song(which is rather impossible unless u dun listen to pop at all), here's the lyrics... i tot the warm and fuzzy feeling of the song is suitable for christmas:) Enjoy peeps...
An empty street
An empty house
A hole inside my heart
I’m all alone
The rooms are getting smaller
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had
The songs we sang together
Oh yeah
And all my love
We’re holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far
Chorus
So I say a little prayer
Hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
Over seas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again my love
I tried to read
I go to work
I’m laughing with my friends
But I can’t stop
To keep myself from thinking
Oh no
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had
The songs we sang together
Oh yeah
And all my love
We’re holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far
Chorus
So I say a little prayer
Hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
Over seas from coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again
To hold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from my heart
You’re all I’m thinking of
Reaching for the love that seems so far
Chorus
So …So I say a little prayer
Hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
Over seas from coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again my love
Say a little prayer
Dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
Over seas from coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again my love
[My love- Westlife]

CO bbq on Wed... Was supposed to be at bedok at 11am to buy stuff for the bbq but i woke up at 10.15.... so was a little late.... but in the end, the chair and vice-chair were the latest lar. Went to Giant supermarket to shop for bbq stuff, then we took 196 to east coast park.
East Coast Park is quite a nice place lar, just that the large number of ships anchored spoilt the view of sea. Played soccer and frisbee there b4 going cycling with vin. ECP is really big. Rented the bike for 2 hours and just barely managed to cover the whole park. There was this Bedok Jetty tht was damn cool.. When u walk/cycle through it, it feels as though u are walking into the sea, then at the end, u can see where the tall buildings in the city as well as the sea stretching all the way to the horizon...
After cycling, thts bout 6pm... went back to the pit to check on their progress. Turns out that they were trying to light fire starters and spent almost 1 box of matchsticks doing so but to no avail. lol, the fire was supposed to be started at 5.30 lor. haiz... the trouble of having a bbq without a scout. After the fire was started, zj, vin and i walked to 7-11 to get butter, ice and grill. zj was commenting on the way back, something like "perfect weather for the bbq.......if it doesn't rain." lol,u can guess wat happened... first it started raining on the far side... it was quite a view, from the beach, u can see the half of the sky filled with dark clouds while the other half was clear and the sea, the half tht was under the dark clouds turned a ominous green while the other half remained blue. The rain looked like mist from afar and shrouded the ships, giving it a mysterious aura. Luckily for us, the rain got closer and closer, seen from the exponientially decreasing visibility, but stopped b4 reaching us. When we thought the worst was over, we turned around to find dark clouds gathering from inland. As it was night, the sky glowed red. When it started raining we got our umbrellas out to shelter the fire and the food, some of us did tht at the expenses of getting drenched oureselves, it quite a sight. The rain did stop in the end and we were able to carry on with our bbq thankfully...
The beach at night was a glorious sight, though a tad too artificial for me. The ships anchored at sea had lamps that looked like ornaments in the night sky. The waves pounded relentlessly on the shores and the occasional lightning lighted up the entire place so tht u can even see the ships and outine of the shore at afar. And most importantly, it was peaceful- no sounds of cars... only nature's voice in the background...
The bbq ended at about 10pm with like 50+ chicken wings, 1 sack of potatoes, a few corns left... lol, the "chicken wing menace" again.... Poor kwan brought 80 of them and had to bring 50 odd of them back... The rest of the stuff, disposable utensils and all were split among ourselves to bring home. Hitched a ride from Xunqi's dad to Kembagan. While waiting for his dad to come, Xunqi was reminiscing his time in RJCO and the need to let go now b4 he goes for NS... It hit me then tht 1 year later, i would most likely be facing the same thing... Would there be nostalgia? Would there be regrets? i can only wonder....
As u all knoe, it is at this time of the year where u take stock of what have happened, reflect on them and if u can, make changes for the new year. Was just reading my archives and i found out tht my blogging frequency at least doubled this year. Why? I have no answer, but reading through them was a one of a kind experience. It's almost as though one was reliving every significant moment in the year, and as a ritual, i think i will relive some of these moments here. so stay tuned....

The milky way upon the
Heavens
Is twinkling just for you
And mr. moon he came by
To say goodnight to you
I’ll sing for you i’ll
Sing for mother
We’re praying for the world
And for the people everywhere
Gonna show them all we care
Chorus:
Oh my sleeping child the world’s so wild
But you’ve build your own paradise
That’s one reason why I’ll cover you sleeping child
If all the people around
The world
They had a mind like yours
We’d have no fighting and no wars
There would be lasting peace on earth
If all the kings and all
The leaders
Could see you here this way
They would hold the earth in their arms
They would learn to watch you play
Chorus:
Oh my sleeping child the world’s so wild
But you’ve build your own paradise
That’s one reason why I’ll cover you sleeping child
I’m gonna cover my
Sleeping child
Keep you away from the world so wild
[Sleeping Child- MLTR]
A song that is perhaps familiar but u just can't point where u've heard it b4..... yes.. i'm revisiting old english pop again... Micheal learns to Rock.... will upload a few more classics here in the days to come.... Was just taken by the simplicity of the lyrics...
hmm.... received the first christmas card yest... via post... turns to be from my OGL, Shireen... A rather pleasant surprise considering that after the last OG outing which was probably way back in the first 3 months, the OG just died-ed on itself... Like what khoo said, receiving tht card makes u feel happy and bad at the same time... bad coz u had a part (whether directly or indirectly) in causing the OG to disintergrate... Well, i guess it's not use dwelling in the what-ifs of the past, rather let's look back on what we have done and cherish them.... i guess the only thing i can do now is send a card back....

back from m'sia....will blog bout the trip when i get the photos uploaded or... when i feel like doing it....haha...
X-japan playing in the background, a 3 min snippet of "Art of life" or rather the last 3 mins out of the 29mins... audio quality's not tht good coz i scaled it down....
When u put down a full stop at the end of a sentence, u can easily change it into a comma by just adding a stroke. However, once u put down a comma, there's no way u can turn it into a full stop....
I've always told myself to put down a full stop, but somehow.... the full stop would inevitably change into a comma, for which i'll have to write another phrase or sentence b4 being able to put down the full stop again... and the process continues.... i guess the only way to put down the full stop is to forget how the comma looks like.....
