Went to watch Sky of Love with my students and my colleagues day before. Truth is I wasnt very "on" about the idea..simply coz Im not a fan of love stories...something about exposing my "weaker side" The last sappy love story I watched in the cinema..was..Love Actually...Think that would last me a lifetime.
In fact through the movie, I was scolding the stupid lead actress for her stupidity and soft-heartedness...maybe more of feeble-mindedness. But if you think carefully..I might be a pot calling kettle black....not entirely....half...hahaha
So my student on my left (girl) started crying 1st, my student on my right(guy) had a silver streak on his cheek...hahaha he teared. hahaha by the end of the movie (despite my scolding) I did tear...cant remember when and which part made me cry..but I did and as I covered my tears with my jacket..I muttererd a small, "damn it!" under my breathe.
So as I walked out of the cinema and people like me have too big eyes to hide teary eyes..once again...damn it! Guess what! I got a teasing from my students on that night and the next day...once again..damn it!
Sky of Love in a nutshell is the story of a jap girl's 1st love..the infamous fiery, exciting yet heartwrenching..a bundle of emotions all rolled into one tight ball of love...that is a 1st love. Where do you draw the line? How do you know when to let go of somethign you feel soooo much for? It being a person's 1st love, how do you even know that it really is love? I think that part of the movie is relatable. So when she finally realized whyt he 1st love dumped her (he got cancer) she ran back to him...after him wasting the 2 years they cud have spent, driving her away from him to save her from being hurt when he dies....WHAT THE HELL! I'd do more than scold him, "Bakah!" Id slap him!
Think its me and my perception. Noone should be the one to decide how you would love except yourself.
All in allt he movie was okay. nothing special..all though I do find myself recalling abit of the movie once in awhile. Sigh
Was walking to the mrt station with my students and was walking in front...had the urge to hum my own tune...an urge to write a new song..my colleague comes up to me and teases me for being EMO! Diao!!! whatt he hell! Haiz..maybe I really emo at times...think its my forte...but somehow thats the best time for me to write songs leh...
At the end of the long day, when I stepped into the house..the 1st song that I heard on tv..was "Right Here Waiting" hmmm a milestone song for me.....damn it... Im sooo glad Im over alot of things...Im glad Ive gone this far from tears...Now..most of my tears are conjured by laughter... :)
God Bless

Trip cont
Disclaimer: excuse my bad typing skills...
So did I mention that I was leaning my head against that same glass panel that shattered? Think if the stone had been any harder and made a hole in the plass panel, then it would have been able to hit my eye...we took the detour, waited hours for the glass to be replaced...
Byt het ime we got tot he hotel, it was dinner. So we checked in and dropped our stuff in, then went on to the dinner place. A Marche version of Steamboat. The food was limited but I must say that whatever we had was good. they had 3 types of soup base..the spicy, the normal and the herbal. Byt he time we were done..we were super full! So to walk it off, we walked around the local Lepak area..abit like Holland V really. Very cool with a fw pubs here and there.
Tried to do some songwriting and because of that, ended up sleeping really late.
We got up super early, headed to the local kopitiam to have really nice breakfast, benedict egg, chee cheong fun, kuehs etc...the locals all thought we were from Penang because our cantonese was different from theirs.
After the heavy breakfast, we went to visit the Ipoh Tree, took a helluva lot of pictures man! Took of kids and plants etc. Then after lunch we went to the caves. Infact all the caves were buddhist temples and the caves were mostly limestone so alot of beautiful features, stalacmites and stalactities etc. Very dark and really steep staircases up to the top. Obviously the view was magnificant and the weather was damn good! Alot like the ones movies use for martial art films when the hero stays in a cave to sharpen his skills etc
1 specific cave was really coola nd had a mega size chessboard in the parking area and a big wishing tree with red string, and organes etc tied to it. plus it had a really nice in-cave koi pond. Super duper cool. Im christian but I love their concept! Dont worry. I'll never convert.
After the caves, we were damn hungry so we went from place to place eating stuff...till the point of nature calling me desperately for the big and small. Hehehhahaha ran to the hotel room lor.

Whheww! Finally back!
Went out of Spore for a full weekend! :) Thanks to Edwin, Cal and a bunch of others for a camera, I took a helluva lot of cameras. Welll maybe too little if you consider the other guys who went w their hugeass cameras and various expensive extensions. Hahahha mine is chicken lor!
Well we started off super early. The route was fine until we drove pass a high speeding truck that caused a pebble or something to hit our vehicle's glass. The whole freaking glass shattered. Thanks to the glaze the glass didnt come apart..the lines of the cracks grew as we drove and the bits got smaller and smaller. Byt he time we stopped the whole glass window had a patternalike a super dper complex spiderweb with dew that made it shine. Pictures come later.
We made a detourto get the car to the automobile shop to repair and waited 3hours to get it done. They had a prob getting the right glass panel for the window.
Thats the 1st accident out of the few in the 3 days. Will elaborate more in due time...next entry continue...
God Bless..Glad to be home!

saturday is ending tooo quickly...
Getting ready for student's birthday...
Had lunch with students and we talked about alot fo thgns and I think I finally brought it across to them about how ISC should be run. It isnt just a club. Its such a fantastic and sophisticated club. My other clubs hve much to learn from this club but slowly does it...dont rush.
Wanna write songs tonight...SPGG seems to be the best place for such. :) nonetheless...dnt wanna neglect the rest. Shall try to mingle enough to be callled sociable.
Have been troubled these few days. Satan chooses to attack my very heart and I can only rely on God's provision..to keep me stable. This ia also in terms of emotional and physical health. My legs damn soft now because of gym and bowling all in 2-3 days...
Lord keep me stable!
Gotta go! Lotsa love! I might only be able to blog next weekend...or maybe not...
LOVE
God Bless!

My heart might break again...
Counting back..think its going to be 2 years in SAA...feels like 3 years...maybe coz Ive seen4 batches of ISC members....and soon to see my 5th...so fast!
The new org structure is in and while reading this..Im abit sceptic...things are gonna chance and Ive been saying this for awhile...but for once...the change might break my heart...Ive been more than glad abt not doing Moberly block...but...hmmm...
I spoke to God about the Moberly issue and God took it away from me...now I want to speak to God about my clubs and him letting me keep them.....I have my choice of clubs that I dont want...and clubs that I want to keep...but for all of em...I have a love for all....
Tomorrow I will be meeting my boss...alot of things to talk abt and clarify and I know I need to think abt alot things and know what I want....if even I dont know...what is left for me?
Like I said..my heart might break again coz I pretty much given half of it to my students...think this is how its like to give up a club you love..I bet every officer in this office has felt it. Maybe Im the only one so emotionally attached. Sick shit if you look at it in a way...then if I see htem as my siblings..then I would never have to worry abt them moving away! :)

I firmly believe that the real appreciation of music is the appreciation of sound and how it winds and folds..and not just the lyrics or words... Given that I love the lyrics too but what intrigues me more is the why the notes string together to form a unique & catchy tune. :)
Music is my life force...
My BBBro sent me a msg today and one of the comments was, "I miss compereing" I agree to that and esp if its Adam, him and I. Id give alot of things to have that chance again! To hang with them again. What bliss to have my 2 great buds to crap with! Aside from which, got another really close bro in UK who is slowly recovering...I know you will recover bro. How long it will take..I dont know...but I know it will happen.
I considered for a sec on making a list of my bros and the different levels of closeness we are but if I see from a reader's point..its a BAD idea hahaha so nvm. All yous to know, I treasure all yous alot. And sisters too incase you're wondering.
Much love to all! together we form each other's memories and life.
God Bless

God's little signs...
Its very hard to wake up every day believing that you are the righteousness of God when you see problems looming around...As Psalm 23 says, you prepare a table for me in the midst of my enemies... How does someone calmly eat in front of his enemies? or does one eat with the heartbeat of an anxious prisoner..eyeing every enemy and looking out for any minute sign of attack?
I want to gain that peace that passeth understanding...
God Bless
