在我人生的前半段，我生命中出现了两段恋情。一个刻苦铭心，一个踏踏实实。翻了翻从前的故事，我想起了段段回忆…从前的我不知天高地厚，害怕恋爱。看着电视爱情故事里的甜蜜总让我好不自在。当我知道还有个人默默地想着我好段时间，我居然害怕了。最终，理性的我放弃了二次到来的机会，选择了现在的“他”。如今回想起来，我首次感受到那年情窦初开的感动。回忆里的感觉似乎一直都在，只是我好多年都没察觉到。那一瞬间，觉得他是浪漫的，感性的，但也是过去的。想起最后一次见面还像是分手后的二年里，当时的他，眼神充满爱意，当时的我，心惊胆跳，害怕再度被爱上，因而借故离去…
也许，当初的对这份感情的排斥造就了后之后觉。 悔恨当时年纪小！但也回想起来，因为某种因素，二次的情人是不理智的，何必为了那份一时的冲动失去了亲情与友谊。
世上总有些回忆，一次就够。那年的抉择没有对错，只有前方美好的憧憬。如今的我们早已走远，有着自己向往的前景。在那伊人景色里，早已容纳不下彼此那份从前的爱恋。
尽管如此，我们依然是“老”朋友。还算要蛮要好的朋友吧！
如今黑暗、伤心、害怕的日子不再。虽然许多记忆早已不在，但我还是会守着仅有的片刻回忆，毕竟那是我成长的旅程。
梁靜茹 - 我還記得
我庆幸曾是这浪漫爱情的女主角。
望着许多分手的情人，我是幸运的。不能做情人还能做朋友，几乎无所不谈！:)
还是要感谢他当初的谅解，二次让我离去。
也许轰轰烈烈的爱恋不再到来，我还是较喜欢现有踏实的感觉！我知道，只要我想要，在能力范围之内，身旁已有的他都会给我。即使懒散，还是百分百的疼惜我。只不过…向往的幸福还很遥远！ :p
希望身边的朋友，不要一时的冲动而抹去了当初的回忆。毕竟总有一天，你会坐下试着回想当初的快乐与悲伤。当初痛心的感觉，也许是今日的感慨！有了回忆，才有成长。
就因如此，我回想起了当初的决定，坚决走下去，幸福就在前方！
Good Night, Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow
Can't remember when, can't remember what. But this quote still remains etched in my mind. With that, I keep it together with the rest of my childhood memories. :)

Yes, I know the SYOG is in town. Unfortunately, with the starting of a new academic term, I have not been catching up with the news except that I have participated in three torch bearers' events in various parts of Singapore, attended the SYOG opening and have bought tickets to the closing.
As part of making it history, I have put the cost aside, and bought better tickets for my siblings to go to the closing with me. Yup, it's a $160 in all. It's not cheap, considering that I am still a full time student with that little money I saved from work. But I guess, that's all that I could do for my sister and brothers on behalf of my parents. All in the name of a sister! Besides, it's easier to earn that $160 back more than excluding my YOG-crazy siblings in the show. They too, deserve an opportunity to watch the show, even if my parents aren't going to be free on such important day.
Major events have never failed to create an impact in the citizens. In the case of the SYOG, it did in some way, bonded Singaporeans together, be it positive or negative. Though I am not that updated, I am aware that the Singapore soccer team managed to make it to the semi-finals with a match tonight at Jalan Besar Stadium. While tickets are already sold out, there will be a live telecast on Channel 5 at 8:20PM. For a small nation like Singapore, it is remarkable to make it thus far. Way to go Singapore! :)
There have been a couple of negative YOG news flying around in STOMP and even the national papers. I too, have my personal encounter of having a badly produced torchlight dove. There was no QC and was covered with only bits of silicon that are definitely not part of a standard procedure (the silicon is glued in different manner, some on top of the wings, some below, some on both sides). I thought it was a humiliation to receive a broken dove wing when it represents Peace. Does that mean that Singapore is not sincere in keeping Peace in Singapore and the world? Oh well.

Nevertheless, it is indeed an honor for Singapore to be the first nation to host the YOG in my opinion, whether good or bad. Ultimately, people will remember us as the FIRST nation to do so, just like Athens, Greece being the first nation to host the modern day Olympics Games in 1869. Whether you like it or not, such impact will be made obvious 100 years later when people start tracing back to where it first began. ;)

Completed a new TVB series just last night. Had been putting dramas on hold for the longest time that I can ever remember. I thought it was a good drama with Science-Fic investigation storyline. Of cuz, many things that they have said or experimented are like too true to be of coincidence, like how lights from the Symphony of Lights could be reflected to the housing estates etc. Other than mysteries in the show, there are lives affected too. I guess, the issue between the rich and the poor impacted me in one way or another, whether I like it or not. My parents aren't that much educated, but at least I agree that they are the best parents in the world that I can have. Without my dad, I won't have grown up to be who I am today, with some degree of independence, stay forward looking and even sense of maturity.
Sometimes, being rich makes one miss out a lot of growth, opportunities and fun. It's when restrictions concerning pride sinks in, considering some jobs lesser human that the others. My parents are bus drivers. They don't earn much, just enough to feed a family of 6. While you parents are still sleeping, or relaxing themselves on weekends, my parents are working. Unlike office jobs, my dad doesn't have free days., unless no business. On Sundays, they only return home after 11pm, sometimes even closer to 1am in the morning. Because of circumstances, they aren't given that opportunity to love studying when they were younger. But that doesn't mean that they will be (or even have to) be looked down upon. Today, I'm proud to say that I have a dad who taught me well as a person.
And nope, you will be wrong if you think that I watch it because of a particular somebody in the show. I'm a fan of nobody. :p

Visited the boy's friend at a community hospital on National Day. To cut the long story short, her brain decided to stop functioning properly one fine day and went into deep sleep for weeks. She's now on her road to recovery though.
Sometimes I just couldn't help but salute at what our brain can do to us.
It is capable of doing things we never thought could have happened to us. The brain is like a central processing unit of a machine, coupled with the power from our heartbeat. When any of those fail, the machine falls sick.
With partial damage of the left brain, that friend is now living in her own world of discovery. As family and friends, we could only try to adapt to a new set of behavioral patterns as she is unable to express herself properly.
Nevertheless, I hope her a speedy recovery and for her mum to stay stronger by each day.
At the very least, I can see that the incident has made her appreciate her mum even more together. The obstacle did draw their relationship to a much closer level.
Kinship - the love that will never abandon you.
