POP-ed in the rain.... Past 9 weeks had been memorable... Thank you Ulysses coy, for all the fun, laughter, pain and tears. Truly, I'll be missing "U".....

妳　的淚光　柔弱中帶傷
慘白的月彎彎　勾住過往
夜　太漫長　凝結成了霜
是誰在閣樓上　冰冷的絕望

雨　輕輕彈　朱紅色的窗
我一生在紙上　被風吹亂
夢　在遠方　化成一縷香
隨風飄散　妳的模樣

*
菊花殘　滿地傷　妳的笑容已泛黃
花落人斷腸　我心事靜靜躺
北風亂　夜未央　妳的影子剪不斷
徒留我孤單　在湖面　成雙
*

花　已向晚　飄落了燦爛
凋謝的世道上　命運不堪
愁　莫渡江　秋心拆兩半
怕妳上不了岸　一輩子搖晃

誰　的江山　馬蹄聲狂亂
我一身的戎裝　呼嘯滄桑
天　微微亮　妳輕聲的嘆
一夜惆悵　如此委婉

The ultimate combination of 方文山 and 周杰伦...

A level results are out. Did better than expected, esp for GP and the s-papers. hmm... sought redress for my O level A2s for phy and chem... haha... thanks to all who wished me good luck and stuff yah, guess it really worked eh....

6 years as a rafflesian has come to an end and i think the bg song suits the mood lar... I like the opening a lot, the strings esp... 菊花殘　滿地傷　妳的笑容已泛黃... Such a perfect analogy for memories... wilted flowers that would never be the same again, the smile in ur memory that has faded.... Bittersweet- tht's what memory tastes like...

Empty.... that's how it feels.... when u have no idea what to do....
A question "Is there anything I can do?"
The answer is "no" but my heart refuses to believe...

All outfield training over, only grenade throw, IPPT, SOC and all the remaining route marches left.... 16km route march tmr, after the SDC visit... sianz... they seem to like to put route marches rite after our book outs..

The one thing that I really like during outfield is the view of the stars at night. u knoe... when u can just lie back and start counting the endless number of stars in the sky.... when u look upon a star, have u ever wondered if someone else in a totally different or totally similar environment may be at the same time looking upon the same star? To me, the stars are like messengers... They connect ppl in different locations, situations, environments together...Be it if u are happy, sad, angry, frustrated, elated or whatever, the stars will remind you that whatever u are experiencing now is not everything....

A level results are looming... good luck everyone! (tht is if u need it)

作曲：YOSHIKI 作词：YOSHIKI

You are only a whisper away
But I can't touch your heart
If the words aren't enough to bet your soul
I'll give you the moon
You are always shining sun or rain
Like a violet stone
I Close my eyes but you never fade
But you never disappear

I feel alone
Can't you see me standing on the verge of blue?
I'll be watching all the stars till they are gone
Should I know nothing could make me miss you less?

Oh, I've been waiting for you
To tell me what is love
I don't know how to be loved
How to be by your side
Morning light shines in my room
I'm holding dreams of you
It may take no less than this pain
But I can't stop loving you

Feel my heart
You have never known that you have all of me
Every time I see you I'm falling in love
I can live or I can't live without you

Oh I've been waiting for you
To tell me what is love
I don't know how to be loved
How to be by your side
Morning light shines in my room
I'm holding dreams of you
It may take no less than my life
But I can't stop loving you

It's wonderful music like this that keeps me firmly anchored to reality... haha... sit test coming up, then book out again...lolol..

Back from field camp.... hmm.... fun experience? haha... maybe without the leopard crawling and high kneeling..... lol... 6 days of combat rations.... haha... the biscuits taste better than the meal rations lar... Spent my first hour of valentines' day doing guard duty with edd somewhere in the middle of tekong where "there was no light".... The stars are pretty nice at night though, could see a lot more stars than in sg.... On the night of valentines' day, we got "turned out" at 4am and route-marched to our next camp-site... okay, theoretically it's not longer valentines' day, but well, so much for a valentines' day present.... Leopard crawling on rocks gives u abrasion and high kneeling in FBO gives u a very painful knee, but somehow i made it through bic on the last day and got back alive, a miracle that the abrasions did not get infected though i didn't bath or wash them regularly... hmm.. a little recap on last week, did live range and had regimental guard duty at.............. the all-famous ammo dump.... haha... but i didn't see anything lar.... however, the story bout the special camera being covered by white cloth is true apparently, at least according to the specs tht were on duty then... well... tht's all on army.... i guess army life really makes u appreciate being a civillian a lot more... nvr knew music sounded so beautiful b4, nvr really did appreciate the freedom to OTOT as a civillian and stuff.. One thing good bout the army though, it keeps you super fit and healthy.... I clocked my first sub-10 2.4km timing in my entire life even without putting in full effort (was reserving some energy for some running training after the IPPT) and i have no probs getting up super early in the morning and keeping awake throughout the day....

Lol.. in any case, Happy CNY everybody! back to the field after CNY for sit test and then 16km route march coming up too... From another perspective, BMT is halfway through already.... hmm.. finally, good luck for a level results everyone! Praying tht it doesn't come out during sit test though....

This video is totally classic...
