addy thots.. ..

live without regrets today..tomorrow may not come round for you to regret its yesterday..

Brightest

were you at Baybeats? if you were, you'd have witnessed the largest crowd EVER gathered at the stage where local band, Electrico played..on the whole, it was a good three days for local music..the sad thing is the crowd hardly did the bands justice..even as the bands were rocking their hearts out, the audience at best were whimmery..maybe it's just the singaporean way..no one wants to look like "that fool" on tomorrow's paper..

speaking of newspaper, has anyone observed that after nearly 4-5 years in its existence, blogging and bloggers have recently been in the papers a lot? some of whom are pretty immatured i noticed, glorifying the use of their blogs to bring shame to their enemies, while some others documented their sexual exploits..they even have one blogger writing for the Newpaper now! the problem with this sudden publicity is that, a lot of people who read blogs cannot differentiate between where reality starts and where it ends..a blog is afterall a diary of sorts..so why are strangers so quick to judge another based on his/ her words? i guess it's always easier in cyberspace for all the so-called righteous and "do-gooders"..you don't often see someone slamming another person live on national television do you?

this is like the 5th day that i'm stuck at home now..not counting my days in office..and i'm feeling a little like a hermit (elinda, hermit? remember? good! haha..kidding kidding!)..thank goodness tomorrow is football day when i can get a little fresh air..ah..


take care y'all!
God bless!

Feel Good Inc.

I'M A GRADUATE!! hahahahahaha..ok i think i'm going crazy! i know this may not sound like a big deal to most of you but this IS my big deal..

when i got my PSLE results and found out that i was going to st. patrick's school, nobody thought i was good enough..

when i got my o' level results and couldn't get into jc or even business at polytechnic, nobody thought i was good enough..

and frankly, neither did i..i was depressed..my father was always sceptical..my uncle thought i just got lucky..all except my mum who throughout the years always thought that her elder son could do something right and LOOK MUM, I'M A GRADUATE!!!

of course there are other heros and heroines (mostly!) around me who have helped me through..like my sec 4 remedial teacher mdm tan (who helped me pass my chinese!!), mrs liew who sacrificed her maternity leave to coach me in physics (and i got an A) and of course mdm sing of temasek poly who never gave up on me even when i was determined to! then there were my lovely bunch of poly classmates who signed for my lecture attendace, updated my notes and even had to bear with my mood swings. last but not least to my good buddy chunchyi who always attended class and kept me updated on tutorials! not forgetting God who always blessed me with luck i didn't always deserve..thank you thank you thank you all! maybe i should pursue a Masters next hmm..did someone say "please, no!"?

i'm so looking forward to Baybeats this weekend and if someone should choose to destroy my weekend i'll run him over!! well..try to anyway! :P

take care y'all!
God bless!

Brighter Than Sunshine

Another week just passes like that..less than two weeks to my exam results! Anyway, just watched "a lot like love" with karen yesterday..just my type of movie..i know the ending was predictable but who cares! i'm just a sucker for such stuff! :P



Baybeats is coming!! For people interested in music, please please please do go down to the esplanade on the 15th, 16th and 17th of july and lend your support to the bands performing (including acts like electrico, serenaide, concave scream and a whole lot more!!)..i promise you won't regret it..i have my good bud as a witness! heh..

Last but not least the following poem was written some time back..when i was feeling really down..i think it was when i was just posted to my new workplace..hmm..can't really remember already..

"the self-discipline prayer"

Lord grant me self-discipline in all that i do
When i get bored and restless, what would you do if you were in my shoes?
Do as you always have and stick to your ways
But you're the potter and we're just clay
And pottery like us gets molded too easily
Temptation seeks us out and we surrender meekly
Through our wayward actions, we lose both others and ourselves
And we realise afterwards that we'd have strayed from you as well
Help us be disciplined as you would have been
Give us strength and keep us from sin
If i should get bored next time and my mind wanders from me
I will still be strong because the Lord is with me

- ad (3rd july 2005)


For those interested, there is another part to this poem called "the patience prayer" put up on my friendster blog..

take care y'all!
God bless!

What If

My exams are over..finally! actually, they have been over since last monday..but since then i've been rather depressed..mainly suffering from exam stress hangover and a lack of sleep..my usually trusty retail therapy is failing me..somehow practicality has taken over my senses these days..bladdy idiot! and karen isn't helping much either with her mood swings..we end up swinging moods at each other instead! so..i end up even more depressed than before..ableit with an improvement in the sleep situation..now i don't know what the hell to do with myself..hai..


On the brighter side of things..i've just finished mike gayle's novel "His 'N' Hers"..yes another one of those sappy love stories where you'd just know the ending..but i loved it anyway just as i loved his previous books! now for tony parsons' "The Family Way"! maybe i'll start tomorrow..hmm..

Anyway, just checking in..just in case you guys were wondering if i had been wiped off the face of this earth, rest assure the force is strong in me..over and out!

God bless!
Cheers!
