HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNY!
jus came back from a simple class dinner with zhengxian, samantha and mingquan to celebrate Kenny's 20th birthday. It has been a long while since I had met up with my class. and the sense of familarity is still there, although we no longer have common topics to talk abt. gals will talk abt uni life and guys will talk abt ns. I guess it is the company that counts. the fact that we still meet up and that we matter in each other's lives.

had dinner at brewerkz. supposed to meet birthday boy at 730 at clarke quay. turned out i woke up at 7 (i slept at 3 - result of the chalet) ad rushed down to clarke quay. the weatehr was really wierd today. dark clouds, yet the sun was bright. contradiction? anyway, the dinner was arranged only today. and i m glad that some of us could still make it. after brewerkz, we headed down to chijmes. it was a nice evening hanging out with my frens who had braved the horrendous jc life with me.

looking back, jc life was really the best time of my life. yes there is competition. however, everyone was not afraid to share tehir knowledge or help each other study. co-operative learning was everywhere. there was no enemity or fear of losing out. however, as we grow up, i think we take thec competition kinda personal. we no longer believe in win-win situations. we only believe in ourselves. i shall try to work in teams and achieve mush more than wat an individual can achieve. this is synergy.

Chalet
As you can see from the photos below, we had a thoroughly wonderful time at our chalet. for a more detailed narration of our chalet, pls visit http://www.jadetive.blogspot.com/
shall reflect upon this chalet when i m more awake.

tmr having smubs meeting.

FRIENDS
to all my friends, i hope all of u will be well and happy. some of u may be unhappy right now. and i promise to help u to the best of my abilities. i don't exactly have the highest EQ ard, but if i ever say things directly without any discretion, it is because i think it is the best way to get some point across. i shall watch my actions and speech i promise. i think too many things are at stake at this moment.

sometimes, we may too many frens who are all trying to poke their fingers into the pie and try to help. but sometimes i try not to probe because i believe the best way to solve any problem is for the parties involved to experience it and walk out of it. sometimes we may get confused, get discouraged. probably cos we are receiving all these mixed signals, advice from the different points of view of our different friends. moral is that all our frens are trying to help, although the end-result may be worse off than if our frens din help.

think it is time for me to start caring for my frens. instead of waiting for alarm bells to ring off. do think over what ppl have to say, but the ultimate rational decision has to be done by you, teh rational person alone. no one can help if all taht has been said is laughed off. perhaps it is the tone. the atmosphere. but obviously there have been tell-tale signs if even laura foo xiu ping can sense it. and laura foo xiu ping does not exactly have spider senses.

on a happier note, i m glad to have known all u frens. realy. it is not easy to let ppl into ur lives and share ur woes. taht is why humans are social creatures. this is wat makes teh game of life it is. with its ups and downs. no one can experience the rain on ur head except for urself =)

once one person has a sad blog, others will also have a sad blog. so cheer up! =)

btw sou kuin, i like ur analogy between ur life and the classified ads. tho i think ur life is more than randomness. it is in ur hands and up to u to fight the randomness, especially if u r a control freak like me =) haha just kiding.

i m tired. it is time to sleep. and rejuvernate.
