Must apologise for the past 2 posts first. All in chinese, like wall of words... But, that's what I think soothe me the quickest - essays. I put all my feelings in and start pouring out. I'll feel better after that...

Sigh... The Sec 2 going for their CL camp tmr. So sad. I want to go also, but alas, I am restricted by some other affairs... ...

Still remember how fun it was when I had it. Not totally a training camp, rather realxing. Still remember we kena fire drill while changing. The boys were in a dilemma. Halfway changing into full uniform, in the top, changing into the trousers. While we panicked in the toilet, the officers were getting angry for the lateness. In the end, I remembered we were scolded.

NCO camp, the last of the unit before it was changed to CL camp. Weirdly, I became the Best Male Camper. Till now, I still don't know why and how I got it. Wendy was the Best Female Camper. Together, we became the Emcees of some ceremonies held in the unit... ... Such things were never treasured during school time, only now. Haiz... =)

Really want to see the squad I grew up with (In terms of maturity and 1 year old) become successful CLs, bringing the unit to a new era. I guess, I might not this time... So wishing them all the best for the camp. Hope you guys learn something from it...

坐在向海的石椅上,看着夕阳慢慢地消失在地平线上,余晖把海染红。晋安眼泪不禁轻轻落下。傍晚的海风阵阵拂过他的脸,犹如慈祥的大海在为他擦眼泪。海边,在晋安的心里,是个无忧的地方。但,不久前,海边却变成了一个伤心地... ...

晋安心房的锁是在海边被打开。是那个女生,方婉霞。其实,晋安很早就注意到婉霞,并对她有好感了。但是,他曾发过誓,求学时期不能谈恋爱,也不敢谈恋爱。因为这点,晋安只是以种种理由来欺骗自己的感情。虽然过后他曾多次感到孤独,羡慕认识的几对鸳鸯,多次想学他们。但他始终却没那么做,唯有继续以繁重的学业分散自己的注意力,把自己忙得没时间想其他事。

那天是同学烧烤会,晋安和婉霞都有参与。当他们玩得起劲时,一名阿兵哥这时来到他们玩的亭子。他谁也不找,就找婉霞。以生日为借口,那名阿兵哥一直想要婉霞的手机号码。纠缠了很久,晚霞才不甘愿地把号码给他。晋安一切都看在眼里。虽让一直静静地坐着,但心里却感到十分不自在。他有股冲动想走向前解围,但最终却因胆子小,默默地坐在那儿生气。

傍晚,他独自走在海边。海浪轻轻地拍打他的双脚,而他也在深深地思考着。“为什么会有这种感觉?”这个问题一直在脑海徘徊,让晋安十分困扰。这时,脑海出现了一个声音,说道:“傻瓜,你喜欢那个人,才会那么着急。”晋安得脸突然发烫,幸亏脸也被夕阳的余晖照着,才没被其他人发现自己脸以发红。

由于不知该如何找婉霞说话,晋安在回家以后发了简讯,为自己的懦弱道歉。碰到尴尬的事时,道歉就是晋安唯一懂得做的事... ...

转眼间,晋安毕业了。曾与婉霞谈过感情事,说过在毕业那天会表白的晋安最终只有与婉霞排纪念照的时间。晚上,两人在网络交谈,谈了彼此喜欢的人。先是由婉霞形容。“他戴眼镜,读四甲班,课外活动是... ...”

一切一切的形容词似乎都符合自己。晋安不禁紧张了起来。当他问了最后一个问题后,晋安顿时好像被婉霞泼了桶冷水。她喜欢的根本不是自己,而是晋安最崇拜的同学。为了掩饰自己的失望,晋安也在婉霞的恳求下,形容了自己喜欢的人。“她有着披肩长发,常常挂着笑容。带着一副黑眼睛的她是名学生委员,就读二甲班,课外活动跟自己一样。”婉霞听完后很兴奋。她不断地猜,却让晋安越来越紧张。最终,晋安从交谈变得尴尬猜想,婉霞可能以懂了他的心意。

无情的会考转眼就到来,把晋安给忙透了。但他的心始终没有忘记婉霞。由于中二也有分流会考,晋安也为婉霞着急。有一次,婉霞想跟他借书,但晋安却心疼婉霞疲惫,亲自走到她家楼下把书交给她。还记得当学弟学妹到乌敏岛参加课外活动的露营时,晋安也为他们担心了三天三夜,寝食难安。回来后,只有婉霞一人发简讯报平安。晋安这才松了口气。

年底,学弟学妹办了个烧烤会。这次,晋安准备了礼物,想在海边正是地向婉霞表白。那天,吓着绵绵细雨。晋安和几个学弟妹到那里玩。虽然人在那里,但晋安心却在他处。她一直看着手表,向远方望,等着婉霞的到来。又一个学弟看到这儿,开玩笑地说,婉霞不来了。晋安急坏了。他的心犹如被石头砸碎了,很想回家。直到了傍晚,婉霞的出现才让她开心起来。很奇怪的是,婉霞那天一直避开着晋安,让晋安不知如何是好。

到了晚上,晋安独自在那黑漆漆的海边散步。他很无助。很想找婉霞下来表白,却又没这个勇气当这面说。最终,他以一则简讯,开口问了。心里充满期待的晋安,一直等着,却迟迟未见到婉霞下来。忽然,远处有个影子向他走来。晋安顿是很兴奋,但这却是短暂的。

是他的学弟。他下来转告晋安,婉霞拒绝了一切。“她说你是个好男孩,但却不想伤害你,所以要我下来。”晋安心碎了。还没开始,怎么就这样结束了?他无奈地拿出要送给婉霞的礼物,说到;“你在我不在时,才把这礼物交给她。晚霞很粗心,一直不见手机。你把这礼物的含义告诉她,叫她一定要收下。”说完,就这样静静地走了。

很多天后,晋安独自来到了这美丽单恋开始的海边。回想着发生过的事,他不禁哭了。为什么?为什么心又这样碎了?这次,他不会再这么快忘记了。他对着大海,默默地许下多一个诺言:“这次,虽是我得的第一次,也是最后一次。我会永远地等,等着她。”

说完,他再度叹了口气,望了望不远处那亭子最后一次,静静地离去... ...

俊强依依不舍地与他的朋友们干了最后一杯。


喝下了酒后,俊强开始说:“感谢你们拨出时间飞到澳洲来陪我。都几十年了,我真得很欣慰。你们明天就要回新加坡了,这一去,不知要什么时候再见面了... ...”


其中一位朋友,思豪说:“别想太多,我们外表虽老,但还是有如当年一般精力充沛。为了公平起见,你下次得回新加坡来看我们。飞机票越来越贵了... ...”大家笑了。思豪还是像以前一样那么幽默,把哀伤的气氛粉碎了。俊强笑着点头,然后送他们出去,可是却被另一个朋友,政雄拒绝了。


“外头风大,小心着凉。我们自己会回酒店,你回去休息吧。”俊强一动也不动,坚持这看到他们离开才走... ...


当他们终于离开后,俊强独自站在屋外,脱下眼镜抹去了泪珠,叹了口气,进屋去了。他坐在靠近壁炉的椅子,拿出了一本陈旧的相簿,开始翻看照片。那些朋友,其实是几十年前俊强的学弟。从那时起文强于他的学弟学妹们感情深厚,即使没空,也会抽出时间参加他们的聚会。是到了8年前,俊强退休后,想追求儿时的梦,才会移民到澳洲过与世隔绝的生活。8年来,虽受到他们无数的信,却见不到他们,是俊强最伤心的。直到今天,他的73岁生日,这几位老朋友才飞来为他庆生。


看着照片,俊强不禁流下了的眼泪。这群学弟学妹可算是他第一批学生。他把他那时所知的都传授了给他们。看着照片里的学弟学妹从中一到毕业,甚至结婚生子,俊强无比感动。虽然那些回忆都是几十年前的往事,虽然他记性一向很差,但他始终没忘了每个学弟学妹的名字,性格。
他老了,一个人孤零零地住在澳洲那么多年,都没人来看他。自从事业开始忙碌后,他就没参加同学聚会,没再回母校帮忙。那么多年来他都音讯全无,或许,有些同学,朋友都觉得他死了吧。经不起自己满脑子的消沉想法,俊强再度哭了。当他想拿下眼睛擦眼泪时,后面出拿来一个声音。


“何俊强。你一生为教育奔波操劳。如今已为能过安宁的生活,却不知道自己的心还在为许多事感到遗憾。你永远不会开心的。”


俊强转身一看,一位身穿白色西装的老人正坐在沙发上望着他笑。他带着一顶白帽子,右手持着拐杖,左手则拿这一个打火机在玩。

“你是谁?怎么进来的?”俊强问道。


“我是谁并不重要。看你那么孤独,我才会来这儿陪你谈天的。我并无恶意。”那老人笑着说。


俊强半信半疑,又问道:“你怎么知道那么多我的事?”


老人这时不笑了。他站了起来,严肃地所说:“何俊强,当教师是你一生的志愿,向教育后代为世界贡献。这,你办到了。如今你的学生个个出人头地,偶尔会写信慰问。这,对你来说是最大的回报。”

他的话一针见血,把俊强吓坏了。不过老人继续说道:“你,这一生的弱点就是看不开。亏你学富五车,从小就专研人性的书籍。但却因为看不开,坏了很多好事。”

老人突然转身过来。他的敏捷,让俊强开始怀疑他的年纪。“你的死穴是痴情。痴情并非坏事,但你因为过于痴情,枉费了许多青春,害你至今孤老终身。”

俊强沉静了很久,什么都没说。过了很久,他叹口气,问道:“你能帮我吗?”

老人又笑了起来。“我就是来帮你解脱的。走吧,我带你去个地方,一个真正能让你身心平静的地方。”俊强犹豫了一会儿,站起来,跟他走了... ...

过了差不多一个钟头,政雄,思豪与那几位朋友都回来了。思豪忘了那背包。他们在门外敲了很久的门,因没人接应,就碰碰运气,企图把门打开。谁知门没锁,他们就这样进了屋。

“俊强,我忘了拿... ...”思豪的话没说完,就停了下来。眼看俊强拿着他与学弟学妹所拍的相簿,眼带着泪,嘴挂着微笑,坐在那儿一动也不动... ...思豪以为他睡了,想把他叫醒。但他万万也没想到,俊强以离静静地离他们去了... ...

Exhausting days for me these days... After the chalet and BBQ, quite drained from it.

Tuesday went to look for them at Rui Xia's house to pack lunch for them. Had a bit of mahjong b4 they left to go home and rest. Tuesday ended like that...

Wednesday went work. Very blur that day. Charged 1 customer x'tra $1.80. Left liao then I realised. Then second time almost give x'tra change. Supposed to be $0.15, I almost gave him x'tra $16... Take wrong books, miss items etc. Very bad day...

Went to Grandma's hse to celebrate her birthday in the evening. Time flies. I still rmb how we used to try catch buses when I was little. That was when she was 55... Now, she is 65 already and she has legs that aches easily now. Wished that she will continue to remain in the pink of health. =) Came back at around 10+pm. Exhausted. Went to sleep after shower and Wednesday ended...

Thursday went movies. Quantum of the Solace with Zheng Xiong and Boon Jian. Couldn't get Kai Chong, 'cos he didn't receive any of my messages. Saw a few NP girls. They were celebrating friend's birthday that day. Said hi and continue our ways... Went home after that and *puff*, Thursday gone...

Today also quite boring. Worked, with only the auntie alone. Quite busy and no time to have lunch. Auntie made sandwiches just in case that happened, and we had that. Zheng Xiong called. Docked off. Went to look for him at Admiralty. He claimed that he was lost and I was worried... Turned out he lied... Had tea at KFC then walked him to bus stop. Friday ending just like that...



Quite not used to the lifestyle now. No O levels to work for. No stress and quite a lot of time. Browsed around friends' blogs and saw many pics that made me rather uncomfortable. Those were the times that I enjoyed the most, but did not cherish the most... Now, they are all sealed into memories...

With the mind losing its will to carry on once again and the new internal conflict I am having with myself, how should I proceed with the road ahead???

海浪滔滔,
心也碎了。
表面看似无啥事,
人,
早已变僵尸。
你随海浪冲向地,
让我心动又陶醉。
拨开荆棘劈开门,
给我重生的机会。
你随海浪归天去,
害我忧心又焦虑。
一声一句都不吭,
苦等何时在相聚。
独自站在沙滩上,
仰天长叹抹泪光。
或许我应独来往,
以免再受冤枉伤。

They dig....

And they dig...
Emo by the seaside...

After considering, they finally wanted to get into the water...

Having a jolly fun time in the water


Erm, I don't know what he is doing... But he seems to be enjoying it...

After their swim

Went to East Coast yesterday with the Sec 2 for their BBQ. Met Zheng Xiong at 10am and waited for the others to come. Nigel came by taxi at around 10.30am, shortly followed by Jing Wen and Boon Jian and finally Xin Yi.

Rather bad weather yesterday. Raining heavily when we were getting there. Fortunately the rain stopped, we played a few round of cards and then they went to play in the water. Didn't join them because:
1) Since young, I hate in when sand goes into my shoes. Get very irritated by it.
2) I have blisters on my feet, making it wet makes my "high".
3) I didn't have extra clothes.

Had to help Xin Yi and Jing Wen buy jolly shandy, 'cos they thought need IC. However second time they got it themselves 'cos no IC needed... In the afternoon, Their CLs came. It started drizzling again so Zheng Xiong went to start the fire. Rain stopped after a while and around 5+pm, Rui Xia and Kia Chyi turned up.
They played again in the water and I got my feet dirty as I washed my hands at the beach... Irritated, I went to search for toilet to wash, but after second attempt, I give up...

The 3 Sec 2 boys wanted to stay there overnight. But then forgotten who suggested to play mahjong at Rui Xia' house, so went there. Reached Woodlands at 11+pm, they went buy supper and we headed to her house.

I only watched the first round, then went home. As far as I knew, they were having their sleep there when I called in the morning to ask them out for breakfast. Hope they take care...
Finally, here are some pictures...

Was rather busy this few days. Went for prom nite immediately after the O level. Don't have much pic to post, 'cos I have no camera and my hands were trembling, and bad shots were taken. Quite fun overall.

Started working on Friday and Saturday. Missed the promotion parade and open house... T_T
Went with Zheng Xiong to buy BBQ materials on Saturday, and with the class on Sunday.

Because of the bad memory I have, I was the only one there without a class tee, until Si Ying came in the evening without one too. Couldn't stay throughout the event. Firstly, parents don't allow me to stay out in the nightand secondly because I promised the squad I would go to their BBQ, mixing up the dates for our outings.

Chalet quite fun. Had the A-Z hunt. My group came in last and was punished by getting wet and eating lemon with wasabi... Had a swim after that, came back for BBQ and I left at around 9pm. That, I think will be the last time the class gather together before we separate and pursue individual dreams. Though short, it was quite memorable. Hopefully we have a chance to do it again as time goes...

Some may think that as a class chairperson I am not setting an example for the class by
1) Not wearing class tee.
2) Leaving the chalet on the first night itself.
3) Attending other events when I should prioritize the class event.

However, all I have to say is: 哑巴吃黄连... ...

Hooray!!! O lvl finish today... Finally can relax... Now the "excitement" will come againnext year when we get back results.

Had this dream the second time last night: I scored E8 for some subjects and scared me up from my dreams. Hopefully, none of this will become true. Judging from my performance, I doubt I can get an E8 when I attempted all the questions logically. Lol

Never mind about these. For now, let's enjoy!!! Bye...

不知在什么时候,有了这一个梦想... ...


很想在退休以后,与老伴(没结婚就一人)移民到欧洲,澳洲或是美国,过我们的退休日子。很想在乡下买栋村舍,一栋典型的英格兰村舍。在院子,种种花草,种种菜。在后院,养些动物,过着自足的生活。


最好是屋子前有个大草原,一个布满野花的青海。早晨把动物放到草原,然后在院子打理花草。下午坐在那儿与老伴(没结婚就一人)喝茶,谈家常。到了傍晚,把动物们干回来后,就与老伴(没结婚就一人)一同下厨准备晚餐。


吃饱后,就到外头走走,一起(没结婚就一人)夜观星空,悠闲地过一天。偶尔,陪老伴(没结婚就一人)到海边散步,观看夕阳西下。假日时,请几位朋友来叙叙旧,平静,安详地度过余年。


繁华安定的新加坡固然美丽,但生活每天都是以快速的脚步在走。繁杂的事物有时真让人喘不过气来。有时真想逃离这一切令人反感,复杂的人际关系与事物,安安静静地过着与世隔绝的生活。梦想,究竟是我们的一股动力,还是人在异想天开... ...


A dream that I had since I was rather young... Imagine what it will be like if it come true one day...

Should not have this weird discomfort that I am having... I don't know why though. I have passed out, should focus on my future, but the heart still cannot seem to stop worrying.

Mum was exhuasted from work yesterday, so she decided to open a few canned food for dinner. As I eat, started to think of the Sec 2 again. By that time yesterday, they might also be having their dinner. I, like them, had canned food yesterday...

Sky was threatening yesterday night. Was afraid it might rain. Usually raining at night is a good thing, 'cos it imply that I'll be having a very good night. Yesterday, on the other hand, was worried that it might rain there, worried that their sleeping area might be affected...

Sleeping wasn't very good either. Had a series of nightmares and woke up several times, then start to 钻牛角尖again, staring into the darkness as I try to sleep again...

Missed the training camp and the days there a lot, worried about those people I cannot shake off from my mind a lot too... Hoping that they return soon.

本该沉到心底的你们,
不知为什么还浮在脑海里,
成天为你们着急。
你们召回我许多过去的记忆。
很想再过以往的生活,
在那美丽的乌敏岛上露营。
该去的总得去,
路还很长。
但我该怎么做呢?
该怎么潇洒地放下呢?

The Sec 2 and Sec 3 are going for their annual ATC today. First time for the Sec 2. I still recall how the ATC I loathe became a turning point of my NPCC life - from dislike to acceptance...

Feel very weird this few days about the camp. I am actually worrying about how the Sec 2 are going to survive it. Very silly... They are a bunch of kids stronger than me. If I can survive, they should survive even better.

With some of them losing interest and have slight intentions to quit, I hope this camp will serve as a turning point, like what it did to me. Hopefully, they change their views about their own CCA after this weekend...

心疼的那一个,
以忘了如何认识你。
你犹如一面镜,
照出了我的内心。
很希望你走我后尘,
有和我一样的成就。
不过不知怎么,
你有心却无力。
总是看你落后,
有点心痛。
你的心在无情的成绩慢慢地冻僵,
慢慢地放弃,
我也不知该如何继续鼓励你。
从来没那么大的反应,
认为一个人会有好成就。
但你一次又一次的失败,
让我越来越不知所措。
我应不能回来,
继续帮你得到你应有的成绩。
一切造化在于你与心。
保佑,
保佑你能走完四年光阴。
祈祷,
祈祷会有东西改变你心。

Hopefully, it will turn out as I hope, you'll change and excel just like the name you gave yourself. But for whatever reasons, you'll still be the one I dote...

又一个很忙得星期过去了,
不是自动,而是被动。
心乱如麻,两眉深锁,
山顶爬得上吗?
倦了,连眼也模糊了。
出自善意的言语,却点燃了怒火。
一句又一句的道歉,真是毫无意义。
除了对不起,
我不知道该做什么了。
龙凤二人如两虎,
山上只能有一乎。
太宗视俩如明珠,
为战翻脸又何苦?
此战,
朕亲征也。
Unless I get your meaning wrong, if not I really have nothing to say but apologies. My sight has been blurred by the many situations lately. If I have disappoint you, it is not my true intentions... Haiz...
Friends may have disagreements, hurt each other at times. But, after all these, they are friends again? Right?

German: Rules his household. Oft-used English and French royal name. The second son of Charles Prince of Wales is named Henry.


French: Rules the home.


English: 'Rules his household.' Oft-used English and French royal name. The second son of Charles Prince of Wales is named Henry.


Your number is: 7
The characteristics of #7 are: Analysis, understanding, knowledge, awareness, studious, meditating.
The expression or destiny for #7:Thought, analysis, introspection, and seclusiveness are all characteristics of the expression number 7. The hallmark of the number 7 is a good mind, and especially good at searching out and finding the truth. You are so very capable of analyzing, judging and discriminating, that very little ever escapes your observation and deep understanding (Over-sensitive?). You are the type of person that can really get involved in a search for wisdom or hidden truths, often becoming an authority on whatever it is your are focusing on. This can easily be of a technical or scientific nature, or it may be religious or occult, it matters very little, you pursue knowledge with the same sort of vigor. You can make a very fine teacher, or because of a natural inclination toward the spiritual, you may become deeply emerged in religious affairs or even psychic explorations. You tend to operate on a rather different wavelength, and many of your friends may not really know you very well. The positive aspects of the 7 expression are that you can be a true perfectionist in a very positive sense of the word. You are very logical, and usually employ a quite rational approach to most things you do. You can be so rational at times that you almost seem to lack emotion, and when you are faced with an emotional situation, you may have a bit of a problem coping with it. You have excellent capabilities to study and learn really deep and difficult subjects, and to search for hidden fundamentals. At full maturity you are likely to be a very peaceful and poised individual.


If there is an over supply of the number 7 in your makeup, the negative aspects of the number may be apparent. The chief negative of 7 relates to the limited degree of trust that you may have in people. Tend to be highly introverted can make you a bit on the self-centered side, certainly very much self-contained . Because of this, you are not very adaptable, and you may tend to be overly critical and intolerant. You really like to work alone, at your own pace and in your own way. You neither show or understand emotions very well.


Your Soul Urge number is: 5
A Soul Urge number of 5 means: The 5 soul urge or motivation would like to follow a life of freedom, excitement, adventure and unexpected happening. The idea of travel and freedom to roam intrigues you (逍遥游...cool). You are very much the adventurer at heart. Not particularly concerned about your future or about getting ahead, you can seem superficial and unmotivated.


In a positive sense, the energies of the number 5 make you very adaptable and versatile. You have a natural resourcefulness and enthusiasm that may mark you as a progressive with a good mind and active imagination. You seem to have a natural inclination to be a pace-setter. You are attracted to the unusual and the fast paced.
You may be overly restless and impatient at times. You may dislike the routine work that you are engaged in, and tend to jump from activity to activity, without ever finishing anything. You may have difficulty with responsibility. You don't want to be tied down to a relationship, and it may be hard to commit to one person.


Your Inner Dream number is: 11
An Inner Dream number of 11 means: You dream of casting the light of illumination; of being the true idealist. You secretly believe there is more to life than we can know or prove, and you would like to be provider of the 'word' from on high.

The parts in red are rather true. If you want to know more about your name, click on the link below: http://www.paulsadowski.com/Numbers.asp
