Of thoughts..

I woke up this morning feeling a little different.

Somehow, my mind seems clearer

and thoughts seem to flow freely.

Perhaps due to the Tsunami, the new year of 2004/2005

was so quiet, unexciting, and everyone seemed to shadowed

in this cloud of dysphoria.

Then there's the lunar new year! Hopefully things will pick up.

Personally I'm more excited about this new year.. got to buy new clothes.. haha a whopping $250 worth of it in one afternoon. And the idea of being able to go visit relatives.. recieve Ang Baos see the cousins' kids who should have grown beyond recognition by now.. snack on new year goodies.. and get away from the boring school work for a while... a long while! *smilez*

Oh can i add that I'll get to see my very own little niece, Jolene Koh! Haven't seen her in a while.

*smiles again*

The other day, someone remarked that i've changed this semester. Well actually 2 pple brought it up to me on separate occasions. I was such a charcter then.. my presence was always felt and I'm always making new friends and going around. These days I'm quietier. I'm not there at every events or the one guy you will always hear around the corner.

The fact is, I'm more mellow now.

I always believe that its easy to make new friends... it just need the initial efforts to overcome that shyness or 'bochup-ness' inherent in every Singaporean and say "hi". Thus i ususally get to noe alot of pple. Or rather.. many pple knew me. But i dun always remember everyone's names i met. Cos i'm really bad with names. Since JC, i was a siao-onz guy when it comes to orientation and stuff.. and having been thru like 5 such orientations/camps now.. i think you can call me and 'old bird'.

Weathered the storms. Seen the seas.

Making new friends are easy, keeping them is another thing. It's uniquely Singaporean too that altho friends could be just in ntu, an hour's journey away... an hour's simply too far for the fast paced singaporeans like us to bother to keep in touch with each other. Or like even an old friend in Sheares hall... 5 mins walk away fr my room to be exact. We haven't really managed to

arrange a meeting yet.

People are just too caught up in their own life nowadays.. and their own circle. (read my fren's enty i pasted earlier. I couldn't agree more)

I can't recall if I've wrote anything about this before, but if i have, i will just want to repeat my claims.

My friend remarked that nowadays, its as if I'm uninterested to make new friends anymore.

The thing is, I already found them.

My beloved ME. click.. i can't imagine going for lectures these days without them. Yeah just lecture kahkis one might say, but there's so much more. After one short semester of 13 weeks and another one that's reaching the mid-way mark, I must say that we have something going on that's really remarkable. We are each linked in one way or another that makes us such indispensible as one big "ME click". The buying of notes for one another, the borrowing of notes and tutorials, even buying of waffles at dillys or mac donalds or even strawberry milkshakes. haha. All the outings, to jimmy's place.. pple's birthday parties, or even excursions to lunches at arts/biz/science or PGP fuzion's..

My old Temasek friends. Its amazing how we can just all squeeze into Johnny room and congregate. Note the word congergate cos more and more pple will just be attracted into the room. Everytime I go back to TH, it will be me Johnny PBP, then the girls will start coming, jia n ling. Then there will be alvin colin henry... and not to mention the resident cat and rabbit. These little memories are really worth a place in my heart.

And my Saturday bball khakis.. no definite pple but just a bunch of Ex-Ri boys with a passion for the game. For those who noe me long enuough, Ri bball courts is where you will find me on saturday afternoons. My weeks are never complete without a saturday afternoon spent there.

And of cos there are the indivuals that i din name. Tho not belonging to any group/click but nonetheless touch me every now and then... you noe who you are.

And for those that were once close, but now have moved on with yur lives, (as me with mine)

I wish you well.

Phewh~

Such a long entry....For those pple that bother to read my blog, I appreciate yur concern for my life. Probably won't be loggin on for a few days...
