I lost my wallet a long time ago.

Ever since, there have been a few wallets which caught my eyes,

But I did not feel like getting a new one.

That was until I came across this particular wallet.

It is not a special wallet, nor is it exceptional.

But I was attracted and felt a certain affinity to it.

Sadly, it was the last piece and had been reserved by someone

But that someone has not collected it yet.

A wallet which may not be precious to him, but to me, it is the only wallet that I want now.

The thing is, should I wait? Or should I give up?

Maybe I should just stick to using a coin pouch.

There are so many depressing things and events happening around us everyday.

Poor families struggling to make ends meet.

Little children or the elderly selling tissue papers for a living on the streets.

Beggers providing entertainment to earn money.

People committing suicide.

Illness.

Losing your loved ones.

Couples who are truly in love forced to break up.

People starving in less developed countries.

Natural disasters claiming lives.

Terrorist attacks taking innocent lives.

And many many more.

There is not much that we can do to help. But at the very least, we can choose to be happy.

No one in this world is worth your tears, as there will certainly be someone else who is willing to wipe them away for you.

Be contented with what you have, not what you dont.

Because for every loss, you gain something in return.

My dialect is Hokkien and I am proud of it.. But I must admit that my Hokkien sucks.. Big time..

I went down to Bernard's house to take something just now. As I was feeling rather tired and LAZY, i decided to take a cab. The moment I stepped into the car, the uncle asked me in Hokkien. "Go where"? I replied, "Upper Paya Lebar". The next thing he asked me, in Hokkien was, "Have you eaten"? I was taken aback as I never expected him to be so friendly. So I replied in Hokkien saying that I have eaten. So there he goes in Hokkien again.. "Sigh, eat too much also cannot, later indigestion. But eat too little also not enough to fill my stomach". I laughed at his thoughts but at the same time, I was thinking.. "Do I really look Hokkien to you"?? I tried my best to strike up a conversion in proper Hokkien, but it came out in tattered ones. Finally I gave up. So he spoke in Hokkien and I replied in Chinese. Fortunately, it was a short journey. Bottomline is.. I am still proud to be a Hokkien-ese!!

I KO-ed at 7pm on Wednesday. Exhausted. Exhausted from the overnight mahjong session the day before and without any sleep, I met my friends at Sentosa for a beach-ing session early the next morning! However, I had a rather enjoyable time! Mahjong was hilarious and over at Sentosa, we dropped by at Tourism Academy and found Miss Ivy Tan! She showed us around and wow.. If only I am still studying there..

Since Bernard and Kenny blogged so much crap about our Sentosa trip already, I shall just upload a few photos to share with you people!

Something stupid..


Something idiotic..

They say when you are in a foul mood, nothing goes well for you. Tha is true I realized. Hasn’t been in the best of mood lately and my luck isn’t exactly helping me. Starting to get busy in camp, (that is good in a way) and my weekend duties are looming near. This week in fact. I went for a soccer session yesterday which I regretted. I played like crap! Worse than that I think! Argh.. It is not only me I guess, with a few of my friends in a similar predicament. Anyway, just to sidetrack a bit. My friend told me this story which I am going to keep it short and sweet.

The girl- smart and intelligent, cute, photo crazy, silly at times and sweet. Just like a little princess.

This friend of mine is an idiot. He is always so passive when it comes to affairs of the heart. Although he has changed to become more determined and confident, he still cannot get rid of his uncertainly and lack of confidence in relationships. He will back off when he realizes that he is getting too close to another girl. That was until he met her. Although he has known her for only a short period of time, he found himself gradually falling for her, reasons unknown. He believes she knows that, but her forte is acting blur and avoiding issues. He wants to get to know her better and to understand her, but he found it almost impossible to break down her barrier. There were a few times that he came close to confession, to tell her a simple “I like you”. But being the wimp that he has always been, the words just could not flow. He has been extremely sweet and sincere to her. Baking her cookies, walking her home, always lending a helping hand whenever she needs it and even getting her medication when she wasn’t feeling well. Although I did say that he is idiotic, but he is certainly not dumb. He knows that there is someone she likes and he is not asking her to accept him now. He just wants a chance because he is confident that over time, the girl will actually realize that he is much better and suitable for her. This friend of mine is not afraid of rejection, but the last thing he wants is to be ignored and avoided. Buck up my friend.
