Birthday full of surprises!!!!!!

Before talking abt the final part of my ITE life which is the L.O.V.E , another great event which just happen is my 20th birthday on 18th of April. It is truly a birthday full of surprises i can say, with surprises from my friends and the army which is totally unexpected. Anyway, this is how the day started: I met ah kiong at woodlands checkpoint at abt 11am where we travelled with our passports to JB. We went to JB's City Square to watch a movie but were rushing for time as we needed to go back school to order the class photos that were taken, we needed to reach school at abt 3pm. So we decided to watch ninja turtles again as there were no other shows that could fit our timing. After the movie, it was already abt 1pm. We were already quite late actually, but anyway we had a quick lunch at 'Secret Recipe' in City Square itself. Then after lunch, we went to a comic shop also in the same place as ah kiong wanted to look at comics. Anyway, before that, he already mgs mdm ruhaida saying we would reach abt 4pm. So we left JB at abt 2pm and headed straight back to school. Along the way, back to school, i mgs Feng xian as she called me while i was watching the movie at that time. Found out she wanted to call me to wish me happy birthday personally. But anyway, thank her for her thoughtful thought. Reached school abt 3.50pm, where some of my classmates with mdm ruhaida and mr rashid were sitting in C1, they all sang birthday song to me. After that, we sat down and starting talking for a while, while ordering the photos. Anyway, Ah kiong and i left with Lyon and Jane in Lyon's car. Lyon then, send us and drop us at Tampines mall where we took a train to Vivocity, the next destination of my birthday celebration. Actually, ah kiong didn't told me abt meeting anyone at Vivocity but along the way,i could sense that there's someone we were meeting as ah kiong was like telling me to rush to Vivocity to buy tickets for the movie: Meet the Robinsons' in 3D. True enough, when we reach by MRT, we saw serene standing and waiting for us. Although this is supposed to be a surprise, but this first one was most not surprise surprise to me. Anyway, after that we went to buy the movie tickets where serene bought the tickets while he asked me to help him buy drinks from the nearby 7-eleven, after helping him buy, i went to the toilet and came out. When i came out, serene just finished buying the tickets. Anyway, she then went to the toilet. After that, the 3 of us went to the comic store at the top floor cause ah kiong wanted to look at comics and games. Then we went up and look around. Look and look, after a while, ah kiong then out of sudden ask me to look at a black pig which was at one of the top shelves. Anyway, i didn't find it weird at first but ah kiong suddenly laugh which make me felt a bit weird then. After that, i again walk around cause ah kiong was still looking around. Looking around, i saw Li jin which make me very, very surprised. I could not believe it and walk away to a corner. Ah kiong then led me to Li jin and told me she was waiting for me to talk to her. Then i went to look for Li jin and acknowledged her presence. Anyway, they then tell me Li jin actually came in the shop earlier than that. It is my poor observation that i did not realise. Actually earlier, the black pig which ah kiong wanted me to see, he was already hinting me. This second surprise make me very surprised and can be said as one of the jokes which is very funny and created together with them. As Lijin told me the previous nite, she was not going for my previous plan for the zoo during my birthday and say only she might be going out with calvin after he work. So i assume she was not coming for my birthday celebration. Anyway, very surprised to see her and happy too. So after we left the comics shop and went back to the movie threater to wait for the movie. While waiting, we were chatting at the seats there. Then when the time is almost up, i queued to buy cheesy hotdogs and nachos for them. While i was buying, the third surprise appear, guess who? It is the couple of Yiqi and Shun quan, never seen them for a while. A bit surprised!! But nevertheless i still think that the second surprise is the most surprising to me. So we went watching the movie( Meet the Robinsons in 3D) together. As it is a 3D movie, we were given free 3D glasses. Although it is a 3D movie, after the movie, most of us feel that the 3D images in the movie are not a lot. But 1 thing good abt the movie is the moral which is looking forward. It teaches us, no matter what happens, we must always look forward in life. I think this is very true as a lot of things will happen in life, good or bad, esp. the bad ones, we must always look forward and forget the regrets or bad things that already happened and continue moving forward. We must never allow ourselves to stay backwards as time passes and will not wait for anyone so we must always look forward and never be left behind.
Ok, back to the day! After the movie, we went to eat our dinner at vivocity's Kopitiam food court. After eating, we were chatting. During that time, my brother called me and brought me another surprise and the last surprise of my birthday which comes in a news of me enlisting into the army of Singapore armoured regiment( 40 SAR). I told all of my friends there and i could not believe it. The feelings were nervous,excited, lost. The feelings were mixed at that moment. Anyway, after that we were all chatting abt NS life and Ah kiong shared his jokes which he had witness and enjoyed in his NS days. We continued chatting a while more before leaving the food court at abt 11pm. Although it is a long day, But it is a birthday that i first thought to be a boring, but with surprises like that, i had a wonderful time. Thanks to the person who organised the whole day celebrations cum surprises which is ah kiong. Extremely grateful and special thanks to him for a well spent and wonderful birthday for me. Also the first person who wish me happy birthday. The next person is serene as she finish classes in poly before coming to vivocity to help celebrate my birthday for me and also for the movie ticket she paid for me and also for the time taken by her as she had school the next day too. Thank you, Big thanks to you too, serene! Besides thanking them, the others which are the surprises Lijin, Yiqi, Shun quan. Calvin also which could not make it to the movie and met us after the movie. Thanks for their company for a wonderful evening spent at vivocity. Also thanks to kelly, although she did not go to vivocity to meet us due to her poly's homework which she needed to rush. Also she's the second person who wish me happy birthday. Thanks to people who wish me using SMSes also. This will include some of the persons which i met at vivocity. Others are like hwei ling, wei ann, hui ping and my secondary school friends. Thank you to all. If i missed out anybody, you guys can leave comments and tell me. Anyway, i thank you guys also. Bye, Bye and Take care!!!!

Reflections for ITE years(part 2)

Continuing with the reflections for ITE years, i guess there's a need to reveal the people's name as it seems very obvious as told by some of my friends during the past 3 days of chalet. Ok, for the first term, the group i was with consists of ah kiong, shun quan, sing hua and me. Second term and third term, Ah kiong and me with the couple which is Li jin and Calvin. Close to the end of second term, it is Jane that join us. That happened till fourth term but Jane was the one that was following us 'on and off'. Ok, the fourth term, it is Ah kiong that left for HK GEP program, this is the most obvious as told by them during the chalet. Ok, the last group of people is my GEP Beijing people: Feng xian,Shao wen, Kelly and me. The last person who join my GEP group is Zhen wei. Ok, my LO throughout the IA period is Ms Angeline Lee.
After all the persons i revealed from part 1 of my reflections of ITE, it is time to continue on. Ok, in this part 2 of it, i will comment abt the whole course i been through in ITE and some of the people i didn't mention in part 1 of the reflections.
To start, some of the people who also play a part in my ITE years like Nikki, Denny, Hui ping, Hwei ling,Yiqi, isabel. For Nikki's part in my ITE life, i don't know how to describe but it is a long story which started with her teasing. As for Denny, he is the first friend i got to know in ITE. After i know abt his bad habits and his craziness over games, i slowly move away from him. In my class, he's a person which people know him for his bad habits and games. As for hui ping and hwei ling, i got to know them at the start with Li jin.They were the formly three sisters. As in the first term, after school, the three of them will always ask me to accompany them to shop in tampines, anyway it was always rejected by me as in the first term, i was busy working and isolated myself a lot due to working and studying. After Li jin got into a relationship with calvin, things were twist-and-turn and in the end, resulting in the split of the three sisters. There were also another group of three sisters consisting of Yiqi, Isabel and Jane. This group of three is also separated due to BGR, bitting, vengenace, revenge and etc. In summary, actually a lot of things happen in between of them. Also in the first term, they always tease me saying i very 'DAO', not answering them when they ask me things. The reason is i think they don't know me at the start so can't blame them. Anyway, if i ask them now, i doubt they will say i am 'DAO' anymore. Yah, about this two groups of sisters who were spilted, i can only say it is a sad thing. Anyway, it seems like they are all doing very good. I guess that's the good thing.
To summarise and end this reflections, the most important thing is to thank the people that make my ITE life colourful, the first group and the only person in this group, that will be ah kiong which makes the most changes in my ITE life and breaking my 'many first times' in a lot of things. Anyway, i can say that for his friends, he does really more for his friends than himself. He really makes a great friend. Ok, for the second group will be Li jin and calvin. Although i actually don't feel good with couples but with them around in my ITE years, my thinking slowly changes and it seems that couples can be good friends with people around them too. But i think till now, no other couples can follow what they are doing and get around with friends that way. And sometimes what Li jin say about herself, just makes me laugh and with her cold jokes. It just makes a good friend too. And for the next group and also only in this group is Jane, although she's on-and-off following us but she is another good friend to have as sometimes her bluriness just makes her very cute and funny. And this just make somes of the jokes around us. Ok, for the last group i would like to thank is my GEP Beijing group. As we spent 2 long months in Beijing for our attachment, i got to know Kelly,Feng Xian, Shao wen and Zhen wei. As this is the first long overseas trip for me, the memories with them will forever be kept in my mind.
Ok, once again, i would like to thank the following 5 groups of friends that i mentioned. These 5 groups of friends really are the highlights of my ITE life and make my ITE life really interesting and colourful. Thanks for all the good time shared between us. Besides them, i would also like to thank my classes in ITE, Class C and R, the students and my class advisor(Mdm Ruhaida).
This part of my life will be definitely treasured and remembered in my mind, really wonderful memories that will stay forever in my mind. Thanks and Thanks to everyone that had made this possible....................................THE END................................................

Lowest point of my life i guess!!!

Before continuing the ITE reflections part 2, Let's talk abt my feelings after the release of the poly posting results which i totally was unsucessful in. These few days i guess i had been trying very hard to cheer myself up. It seems like it is not easy to be happy sometimes. Anyway, since i came back from Beijing, things happened which already affected my mood, for people close to me i guess they should know ,the first matter i dealt with is the L.O.V.E matter which makes me down for some time already. As this matter i am still slowly trying to accept and move on, things are quite good, moving along the time of recovery. Ok, it looks good, right? As i say, moving along the time of recovery meaning not yet recovered, right? Anyway, my mood is still quite ok still and getting better before the release of the poly posting results. Now, after the release of the results, i guess my mood is down again because firstly, the first matter have not been actually solved and the results had become another matter serious enough for me to be actually very sad. I guess 2 matters added together had led me to think that till now in my life, i had come across another of the lowest point of my life. Because after the results, I have to end my education life at ITE itself, and as i say before if i cannot enter poly this year, i won't have anymore plans to study for at least 2 or 3 years. And maybe after NS, i might not even have time to go to poly and need to start working as my father is old already by that time and mother not working due to medical problems. As the elder son in the family, i have no choice but to help my father lesser his burden on his shoulders he carried for the last 20 years. That's why i say, it is now or never. Since it is fated that, i cannot go poly. I will need to try to accept this fact and move on with my life now. I am trying very hard to accept this fact this few days but to no avail.
It is because after a while, the failure of entering poly will come back and still affect my feelings, making me in no mood to do anything. How to stabilise this feelings? I also know, need to be positive and always look forward and not back. So this few days, i watch dramas actually to try and not to think abt it. But when you come to meals' time, you tend to think also. So till now, i guess i have not succeeded in accepting the fact that i am not able to enter poly. Thus, my mood is still down. About the L.O.V.E segment, i guess i can very much affects my mood little this days. In conclusion, i can say all these matters had led me to another lowest point in my life. Seriously, all these had make me really moody this few days. Aiyah, what to do? Just maybe to cope with it till i finally get an objective for these rest of the year which is maybe getting a part-time job. I guess now time is the main factor in recovery from these two major damages done to me. Hope that i will be happy soon and to be the cheerful guy that i am.
