Shall try and update this blog while I’m still sober. Had 2 bottles of Heineken at Holland Village Wala Wala. Didn’t thought that I would be drinking beer. But, couldn’t help. Everyone else was drinking it. Owells. Hope this jasmine tea I have here can help me keep awake for another ten minutes.
Tuition
Its tuition time again. Mum fetched me from camp and sent me to TPY for tuition. Talked about tons of stuff on the van. Just really upset that things have to turn out this way. One problem after another. Why is my faith always put into test? Sighs. I will survive. I know I will. I know I can make it. Somehow. I know my friends will be praying for me. I know God will always have another alternative for me, and that He will always be there for me. I just have to persevere I guess. Sighs. Why do things have to turn out this way?
Haha. It’s odd. To see mum like that. Never saw her like that before. Just, traumatized.
Well, went for tuition. Tried concentrating in teaching yan. Realized that he’s growing up really quickly. Getting taller. Haha. Was just wondering how it would be like to have my own kid. Seeing them grow up. It’s an experience I guess I wouldn’t be exchanging anything for.
Then grabbed a sandwich and went to Carl’s. Did math and collected my fees! Yaay! Haha. Have this feeling it’ll all be gone by this weekend. Oops.
BBQ/drink
Went east coast for the platoon BBQ. Was really nice for the platoon to invite us over. Raymond couldn’t make it though. He was down with flu or something. Met up with Jensen, Faizal and Steve. Taishen came too. She was like, the MAIN attraction of the entire BBQ. Sighs. See what the army turns guys into? Colour-wolves.
Saw Lazarus too. He dropped by to say hi. Good to see him again.
Went to Holland V after the BBQ. Went to Walas for a drink. Steve, Goh, Faizal, Jensen. Heineken was one-for-one. So they ordered 4. That means we’ve got 8 in total. And Jensen had 2 pints of some German beer called, something garden. Can’t remember its name. So the rest of us had 2 bottles of beer. Watched Man Utd vs Liverpool. Liverpool won one nil. Chatted, drank, had wings and fries and mushrooms, all the way till 12am. Got to see Jensen’s girlfriend and his girlfriend’s friend, who got drunk.
Walas’s a nice place to chill out. Nice atmosphere. Good for late night soccer matches, for friends to hang out together. Right at Holland V, there are other shops such as Starbucks and Coffee Bean, NYDC, and many others. Really nice place to chill. =)
Didn’t realise that I would actually be drinking beer. The taste is, bitter. But, nice in a way. Haha. Think, now I don’t MIND drinking. But won’t be having a craving to drink. Guess I’ll very much keep it that way. =)
Tuesday with Morrie
Reading this book by Mitch Albom. The author of the 5 people you’ll meet in heaven. Wish I could type the entire book out and share with everyone, cause every page and every sentence has got so much meaning in it. So many emotions and inspirations can be drawn from this book.
Took this from page 81-84 of the book. Some excerpts.
“… everyone knows they are going to die… but no body believes it. If they did, we would do things differently.”
“The truth is, … once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”
“Because, … most of us walk around as if we’re sleepwalking. We really don’t experience the world fully because we’re half asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do.”
“… if you accept that you can die at any time- then you might not be as ambitious as you are.”
“We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don’t satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.”
Will continue reading the book. It’s really fantastic. Anyone interested in the book can borrow it from me. Just drop me a msg. haha. but, you might have to wait for a while. Have already got 2 guys in the line. =)
