I'm enlisting tomorrow! Haha... Am kinda in a mix of nervousness and sian-ness. Then again, like my friend said, "Who would be happy about enlisting?". True that. Haha...
And I can safely say that I'll be going in with no regrets. I mean, I ought to be. Cause, I spent my pre-enlistment days living as if they were my last days on earth. Perhaps, if I do die now, It'd be without regrets? Haha... Just kidding.
So Monday, was spent showing Florence (she's from abroad) around town. Had lunch at Fish & Co. and shopped around Orchard Road. So that was Monday, shopping.
Tuesday was spent at Sentosa! Haha... Man, that place has changed so much. I recommend you guys to go if you guys can. Its real fun. We went to the Carlsberg Sky Towel, Merlion, Images of Singapore, CineBlast and Sky Luge. And guess what. We took the Cable car back! Haha... Here's some pictures.
Wednesday was spent shopping at Suntec City & Marina Square. Lunch was at Yuki Yaki. She loves the ice cream making. Haha...
And right after that, we had dinner with my family. Could barely eat anything at the dinner table Haha... Then we headed to the Night Safari.
After Night Safari was Supper! Haha... We left the safari around 12 am and had supper till about 1 and reached home shortly after. And that's when we started the "photoshoot". Haha...
Not bad eh? All taken in the comfort of my basement. Haha...
Well, that's what my last week of civilian life was like. I'll see ya guys around again at CNY. And here's wishing all of you, a Happy Chinese New Year in advance.
Take care guys... Gonna miss each and everyone of you.
Life goes on...
Its too late now. Really... I'm sure you've realized by now. I hope...

If you already have someone else in your life, just say it! Haha... Why come up with such a excuse as "I just wanted to see if you care". The "baby" in your blog obviously wasn't meant for me. *sighs* I wished you would have said there was someone else. I would have been happy for you! In any case, I don't care anymore. Really...
NS life begins in 7 days from now. And right now, I'm living life as if its the last 7 days of my life. Once NS commences, who knows? Things certainly won't be the same anymore around here.
Life goes on...

"May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and who have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than its form. May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time in each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way. What you may feel you lack in one regard maybe more than compensated for in another. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments. May you always feel loved."
-Sandra Sturtz

Here's a story that I received from an email. Its pretty interesting in my opinion. Kind of gives new light to the way I see things. And hope too.
Well, go on and read it, you don't really have to stick to the story. I guess, the moral of it can be applied to everyday life. Especially in the aspect of perspectives. So here goes,
A man went to a barber shop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they finally touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out into the streets to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists would that be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would neither be suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished up and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the shop, he saw man in the street with long, stingy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the shop again and said to the barber:
"You know what? Barbers don't exist."
"How can you say that? I am here and I am a barber, I just worked on you!" asked the barber.
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beard like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people don't come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look for Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
Think about it. It makes sense doesn't it? Haha... Thanks Flo.

Do you honestly think I could go on loving you like that? I'm sorry, I can't. I have a big heart, but even big hearts have their limits.

Well, I got tired of watching anime the whole day and suddenly had an urge to change my blog skin so there it is, my new blog skin.
In case you are wondering, no, its not because of her that I chose this skin. It has nothing to do with her. I chose it because I love the colour, layout and most importantly the picture right above this text. Perhaps its reflects a little wish of mine...
In any case, leave a comment or two about the new skin and the speaker in the previous post ok?
Thanks.

"The heaviness of what you don't know lurks within your mind now. You can acquiesce to this fear and retreat from encounters in the outer world. Or you can face a very scary issue, cautiously, overcoming your own instinctive resistance to pain. Your fear may have little to do with what's going on. The more light you shine on hidden places, the better you'll feel about life in general."
My goodness, instead of telling me about the future, my horoscope has instead been giving me advice. Haha... Pretty good advice right there, don't you think?
On a separate note, I've been thinking of getting myself this set of speakers. It emits a blue glow/light once its turned on. Costs around S$248. Any comments? I'd love to hear them. Haha...
I'm sorry if I've offended anyone these days with regards to my relationship/mess/what-ever-you-want-to-call-it. I have my reasons for telling you so, be it the truth or the lie. Thou generally, they are lies, they actually reflect what this whole fiasco has been all about. Nothing but lies. I'm lost in there myself. So, if ever, you do come to realise that what I've told you and what you read here isn't the same. I'm sorry, I mean not to deceive you.
I'll sort this out, one day. Till then...
Life goes on...

If you are one to have an occasional emotional outburst, today is a great day to examine what motivates your tantrums. You could feel blocked from expressing your basic needs, which forces anger to vent inappropriately. Go to the source and bring it to the surface with relentless intention before it can become self-destructive.
Horoscopes can give pretty good advice from time to time don't they?
Here's a quote that a friend sent to me via email. And I have to share it. Why? Because I hope that, that is what God will do. I sincerely, hope...

I spent the eve of New year having a dinner with her and her family. I am supposed to be happy right? That I get to spend time with her and dine with her family? It seems, wrong... Just so wrong.
Dropped her off later at an mrt station and I joined my parents for dinner, counted down at my aunt's place and went of for a party at Bern's place.
The mood after the countdown coupled with the drinks and party numbed how I really felt that night. How wrong everything is.
I was just talking to lyd about how I wanted my r/s to be like. To be built around love and nothing else. And suddenly the tears just flowed.
Its so wrong... So bloody wrong.
Life goes on...
