30th-Sep-2009 11:30 am - the sky for you.
i'd paint the sky orange
at the start of every sunrise
the warmth of the rays that reach out to every corner
never did reach out as well as your eyes

i'd paint the sky blue
the peaceful and tranquil afternoon
of the dove and sparrow that soar so high
your grace and smile never did lie

i'd paint the sky red
as dusk settled like the rain
i'd always recall that fateful day
i'd look and search and call your name

i'd paint the sky orange
at the start of every sunrise
knowing that when i wake up the next day
i'd love you all the same

23rd-Aug-2009 08:38 pm - kids these days...
i kinda procrastinated talking about this in my blog.
after what happened at regina's blog, i was pretty much tempted to blog about teens nowadays.
yet i waited for a sudden inspiration. 
well, i guess the delay was enough. 

God gave me another sign to give this issue a serious thought.
yesterday, during service learning group, we were to discuss the several aspects of the community we could contribute to.
my group narrowed down to orphanages and we were to research certain info over the weekend.
so here i am, surfing the net reading the programmes and children involved when it hit me again.
the lack of love that these children are facing.
most of the orphanages have resident children based on the reason that their family members are unable to take care of them.
or simply, the family situation is unstable. 

is this one of the main causes that we see an increasing number of juvenile delinquents around in singapore? 
With the absence of parents in the household, children are not kept in line, not taught the right-way of living.
they start to suffer in terms of their studies, emotional being and mindset.

without parents to check on them, these kids are prone to stray from the primary mindset of study.
this is especially important in singapore since all of us are required in compulsory primary education where we are drilled the basic aspects of regular study.
homework, project work, assignments and examinations are constant motivators in our education journey.
without them, we could very well develop the mindset that school is just for fun.
however, even if the presence of the strong education system, a broken family could very well make or break a kid's desire for study. 

without the constant reminder that they are loved by people around them, these kids start to build an exo-skeleton around them.
they become very defensive and irritable due to the need of protecting themselves.
they hang out in gangs.
speak EXTREMELY loudly.
regurgitate vulgarities.
indulge in social habits such as stealing, drinking and smoking.
they develop the need to belong in a certain group, since they do not feel wanted in their family.
their new-found gang is able to provide them with the recognition and sense of belonging.
you see these symptoms in every nook and cranny of Singapore.
such kids are actually vulnerable in the inside, however, in order to build up their confidence, they resort to big body and verbal language to make up for the lack of self-esteem.
it is sad for one only exposes the weakness to the public.

all is not lost yet though. i believe that such behaviour is a reversible process.
firstly, we need to treat these people with patience.
then, introduce the faith of God to them. i'm not catholic.
but i believe that when humans are exposed to a set of beliefs and faith that they can follow and be comfortable with.
why not use it as a tool to bring these kids back to the right way of life?

Goodbye my dear friend. Bon Voyage.

 
11th-Aug-2009 03:27 pm - UBIN paradise :)
No one knew that friendship could be developed this fast, built this strong, fastened this tight.
It’s been a month since that epic reunion at east coast chalet.
It seemed to bring the old boys back into business.
First, coming back for training, the movie outing, the weekly lunch meet ups at amk, the weekly after training-supper session. and finally, a cycling trip to put the finishing touches to this artwork of friendship.

Though I had only slept at 1 on the night before.
my mind was wide-awake before my alarm could go off at 830am. 
Must be the excitement at the thought of a cycling adventure tucked away at ulu ubin with my lovely taekwondo friends.
I got ready, packed my stuff and left home.
Ma’am picked me up from woodlands and drove all the way to Changi village.
After brunch with the others, we headed for Changi ferry terminal that brought us straight to the less than modernized island.
Upon arrival, Carmen gave an all-too-familiar shriek of excitement.
This brought laughter to the guys who labeled her a city girl!
Like any visitors to ubin, we stood beneath the big signage and picked innocent strangers to be our unfortunate photographer. Say cheese 




there was no way we were going to waste any time. we grabbed our bikes and went off in search of a much-needed adventure!
GJ, being the "landlord" of ubin, took the lead and brought us to our first stop. CHEK JAWA :)
we climbed a wooden tower which shook under the thunderous footsteps of keefe and HS! 
wahahaha. 
despite the slightly-exciting climb, we were rewarded with a picturesque view at the top. most of us were blown away by the sight. 
but we girls never fail to indulge in our hobby of cam-whoring!



 you know things are good when you see such wonderful smiles on every single face.


































ubin was indeed an island full of treasures waiting to be discovered. 
i was here several years ago, also on a cycling trip.
brought my family members around.
never thought that there were still so many gems left to be polished. 
we continued walking and came across an old cottage house. 
absolutely spendid :) 

cycling round ubin ain't easy my friend. 
seriously. the magnitude of the slope is daunting. 
while we enjoy the turbo-ed ride down the gradient.
we still whine and complain over the tiresome ascent! 
haha! the journey had several stop-over 
moments where we were captivated by more discoveries.


















alden ventures into lower grounds while we are disgusted by the local wild boar!


















ma'am shows her harvest with a look of triumph while we girls bask in the sun. 

although all of us were excited and psyched over the climb up the quarry.
 the best is yet to be. 
we've yet to reach the climax :) 
GJ brought us to the seaside. 
we parked the bikes, drank up and ate bread like scenes of the last supper. 
then eyes shifted, bodies moved, signals gave. 
hui ping was ambushed by the gang of brothers! 
she was dragged, carried and dropped into water.
there was practically nothing the girls could do but watch her get wet. 
sorry! hahaha! such drama never ends. 
the curtain doesn't fall. HS and hui ping continued their endless fighting and the guys went off to soak off the heat. 
we girls sat on this large fallen log and dip out feet into the cooling seawater. 
the sun was inching its way towards the horizon marking the arrival of dusk.
we made use of our bikes and cycled to every nooks and crannies of ubin like avid explorers. 
as we reluctantly returned our bikes and trudged our way back to the jetty.
we not only left behind dirt tracks, foot prints but fond memories of one another. 
feeling weary and tired on the way back to changi jetty, i looked 
into the far horizon hoping that this particular friendship would go that far. 

we had a quick dinner at changi village before the kids were whisked off back home. 
the night is still young as they call it. 
we headed for kovan's Superbowl eager for more fun.
THREE rounds of BOWLING! wow! 
i've not played that much bowling before man. 
though i wasn't good at it, HS and GJ taught me patiently, giving me valuable advices. 
being the perfectionist, i was determined to improve. 
the whole experience was superb.
HS's lotus hand, keefe's laughter, carmen being called yuan, ma'am's hunger for strike and YM's secret 
bowling talent. haha :)
it didn't mattered that i was called auntie, if it could bring more laughter to everyone else, why not. 
in the end, its the friendship forged that counts.

26th-Jul-2009 10:09 pm - SONG OF THE WEEK
Happily Never After

"I don't think I want this anymore"
As she drops the ring to the floor
She says to herself "You've left before
This time you will stay gone , thats for sure"

And he shattered something as
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway
She had never gone that far
Normally this would be
The time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time, without crying
As she got into her car
She said

No..
Happily never after
That just aint for me
Because finally
I know, I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall

As she drove away she starts to smile
Realized she hadn't for a while
No destination, she drove for miles
Wonderin' why she stayed in such denial

Laughing about the way he shattered something as
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway
She had never gone that far
Normally this would be
The time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time, without crying
As she got into her car
She said

No..
Happily never after
That just aint for me Because finally
I know, I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall

I'm done , I'm done
Said I'm so done
So done, I'm done, I'm done
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
Free to be me

She inhales an air she'd never breathed before
The air of no drama, no more
She said

No..
Happily never after
That just aint for me
Because finally
I know, I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall

No..
Happily never after
That just aint for me 
Because finally
I know, I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall

..another teardrop fall
