Long Time no update
Yeah thanks for the prod, Shan. I guess we all get carried away with our usual busy routine. I guess my schedule would be described by most not as busy, but as lazy. To them, I say this: To each his own, everyone has their own problems to deal with. If busy-ness is defined by things like work (ie. things you don't like to do), then I might not be as busy as others, but I sure have quite a full schedule. Considering that it has been said that "It takes 21 days to form a habit, and 3 or less to break it," I know I've lost many good habits, making those lost habits part of my routine. Bad bad Foong.
In other news, I've been back in Singapore for awhile but so far, only my family, Biz friends, JD Ade and Bel have contacted me. I guess its a rare occurrence for me to be meeting someone I haven't met for a long time now. Nobody has time for anybody, and everybody has no time in general: a sad truth about growing up.
Just to clarify, I believe I know where I'm headed in the next year or so. I just don't want to tell everybody online. If you really want to know I believe you'll take the effort to contact me and find out.. At least I know you will if you're reading this blog.
I feel like I have to shout this out loud: I'm back this holidays mainly for one thing: Family time. My grandparents aren't young and my parents aren't growing younger either. If there's one thing I would really hate to regret, it's not spending enough family time before all is said and done. Sang told me about this one statement he heard from a distinguished speaker that he would remember for life. Its probably something I will remember too. I can't quote it word for word, but in essence, here it is:
"No amount of success can replace the loss of a loved one."
How true. How very true.
********************
I hate myself for a couple of reasons: One of which is that I have the income of a baby, behave like a child, spend my time like a teenager, think like an adult, feel like a senior citizen. What a precarious situation to be in. You may react to this in disbelief, but come talk to me about it and I'll explain myself in a way that will make you go "Ohh.. So THAT'S what you meant."
Ok enough for now. I have learnt to stop bareing my soul to anyone who will listen, because no one needs to hear my crap. Only if they really want to will I oblige, since I feel that burdens need not be shared by everyone, it just dampens their mood. The last thing I want to be is an emotional vampire that sucks the energy and life out of the people around me.
Picture time! Since I'm a lazy person, I'll just caption these photos, in no particular order. These are some of the things I do when I'm not studying or online.
At a Luau
Watch movie: In this case, I wasn't allowed to go in.
Go arcade (once a semester or less)
Try to look handsome in a park but end up looking really silly.
Going out for a date
NYC pillowfight 2008. We went out with 1 pillow and came back with 2.
ROCK BAND! My favourite pasttime with the guys: Its free, its exercise, its chill and energy filled at the same time!
Sheesha with Desmond & Marcus
Travel: I didn't have a faux-hawk or the picture would be much nicer.
