back from another camp, this time as a belayer..... though the pay was considerably lesser, it was quite fun too. There is so much more freedom and time to talk and interact with people around, as in not the kids lar, the GIs and EFIs mainly... oh, i managed to get a chance to climb the rock wall too. so fun... hahaz... scaled it in like 30 sec :P got a cut on my elbow because of it also, one of my footing slipped on the way up, prolly cos i climbed too fast =S oh well, instructor cannot throw face mah, so many kids watching you climb... haha... the kids were so cute lar. During belaying, i'll have a belay team of kids behind me and they'll go, "instructor/cher, ur hand bleeeeeeding!" with a "are u gonna die?" face.. haha, then must go reassure them and stuff.. lolz, the only downside was tht i needed to travel all the way into campsite which is a good 45 mins bus ride from chua chu kang myself o_0 And i had to rush for tuition at upper east coast after knocking off too... Luckily, i had a fellow belayer for company when i left the campsite. Seriously, the ulu campsite is 3 hrs from my house via public transport lar o_0



Well in case you failed to notice,
In case you failed to see,
This is my heart bleeding before you,
This is me down on my knees, and...

These foolish games are tearing me apart,
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

Some explanation needed about the blog's layout. Pensieve, my context here refers to the magical storage device used to store memories in Harry Potter. And by swirling them with the tip of the wand, the wand user "experiences" the memory again from a third party's point of view. My intent of using "Pensieve" as the title is to highlight the irony by which we see other people's thoughts with lucidity but are blinded when reading our own thoughts, hence the need for a pensieve to view our own thoughts from a thrid person's perspective..

Notice me, take my hand
Why are we strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me

Everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

I make believe that you are here
It's the only way I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

And everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song's my sorry

At night I pray
That soon your face will fade away

And everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

[Everytime - Britney Spears]

i'm dedicating this song to you

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song's my sorry

but the funny thing is... i dun even know if u bother reading here anymore....

A camp facilitator's pay is hard-earned.... But it is a pretty fufilling job i guess... cos

1. we get to meet ppl from all walks of life. My mirror brought this point up, saying the instructors and students were from everywhere, ITE, JC, poly, express, NA, NT, whatever you can think of lar... so, basically u get the chance to interact with ppl u never would b4...

2. we learn a lot as instructors, be it soft skills or hard skills, like how to read group dynamics within a few minutes of interaction. How to assert yourself without coming across as hostile. When to use persuasion and when to be firm and so on. Not to mention that i went kayaking after like 6 years (the last time was obs in sec 3 o_0)

3. we have lots of fun cos we go crazy during camps.. literally.... nuff said... hahaz...

So thank you CHA for the everything!

Life's not measured by the number of breath we take, but by the moments that take our breath away...

In line with Valentines' Day........

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before?
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start

Ohh, but hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep
And hold on to your words 'cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

[Secondhand Serenade - Fall For You]
Because a girl like you is impossible to find.... You're impossible to find...

The song my kids in camp sang for their campfire item 1 day b4 vday.... Pretty apt, we wanted to choose Bad Day at first cos it was fri 13... lolz...

"It's not about how well you play, it's about how you feel about what you play"
Taken from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
That's the spirit all musicians should have.

In Rant, the author wonders why we feel so safe driving on a two-way street just because of the white line in the middle and the lane markings. At first it seems so laughable but come to think of it, I think he has a valid point.

"That it is doesn't meant that it should be" This line keeps haunting me nowadays....

Out for camp till fri...... till then...
