Dream Catch Me

- Newton Faulkner Lyrics

Nov Weekend in KL

came back form KL yest. had a fruitful time there wif some new experiences and new things learnt.

One main thing i got out from the weekend was what P. Cox said, "Dreams are free. So stop worrying about what other people think". I guess it's true in a sense. many of us are so preoccupied with current situations that we forget to look at what is it we wanted. when we were young, we wanted so many things. one of the dreams i had was to own and fly my own airplane. but somehow along the way we lost track of wat we have been hoping for. as we grow up, we tend to put our dreams aside and conform to societal norms. but now, i was remade to think, is normal wat i want?

"If you do not change directions, you'll end up where you are heading to"

do i want to continue working for the next 30 years of my life. do i wan the life of my boss now? coz if i continue in this path, chances are, i'll end up like my bosses. money wld be good, but no time to do anything i wan.
by the time i retire, i wld be 62? by then, wld i haf the energy to do wat i wan to do?
let's do some calculations. to maintain my lifestyle wen i retire i'd probably need a minimum of $3000/mth.
that is $36k p.a. let's say i would wan to live to 80 (insyaallah), tt means i need $648k wen i retire.
that is if i decide to work to 62. 62!! however if i retire early at 55, tt means i need to save $900k.
now i have 24 years to save that amount, wic means $37.5k/yr, wic works out to $3125/mth of savings???? or i cld save $1.7k/mth n work till 62. but wat if i live past 80? then i got no more money. then i muz go back to work?

now, all that doesn't seem to be attractive, does it? so what do i do? change. Invest the only asset i have now, Time. It's been said that people do not change because they do not want to face the truth. The truth for me now is, i do not like how the future is looking for me. there are a lot of things i want to do and i want to live my old age worry-free. there are many ways this can be done, but what is the best way?

I Love You More

I LOVE YOU MORE (THAN YOU LIKE ME) lyrics THE STREETS
We haven't even started and it's almost the end

We never talked it over fact we never said anything

Two of the same kinda sorts hiding thoughts

As the small talk ebbs away the silence is awkward

You hardly even know me and I'm starting to show that

I hardly even know you but I like what I know

I want to talk about it but I quake in my skin

It'll only push you further into making decisions

You want to like me but you are likely undecided

The voice inside is always right which is why the awkward silence

Not gonna risk losing you

Which is why I'm never gonna woo-oo you



[Chorus]

I think I love you more, 

Than you like me

Although I'm never sure and maybe I should want to be blind

I think I love you more, 

Than you like me

Because this is even crossing my mind



Any other day and you'd have not looked twice

The joking went along with my roll of the dice

Purely by a chance I happened on feeling

Really confident around the place and people

You caught a no-hitter hitting winning strokes

I never am a winner, I'm a lonely bloke

Acting exciting like a man for a while

Until you realise I can act like a child

Eternal optimism is spurring me on to think

That acting on your ins like this

Might lead me to learn a secret

But I don't really know

Or why I think so

It's just a good hunch

Hunches are always right though



[Chorus]



I drew a drawing of you after last time I saw you

I never felt to draw a picture like that before

I learnt a lot about myself drawing all morning

It was absolutely shit, I'm awful at drawing



[Chorus] x 2

LyricsBay | I LOVE YOU MORE (THAN YOU LIKE ME) lyrics THE STREETS

Tetap Di Hati

Terkenang waktu kita bersama
Tiap kali kita bersua
teringat masa berbaju serupa
takkan kau kata kau terlupa

kau tiba bila kesepian
membawa bersamamu cahaya
aduhai tak berkekalan
kau hilang dalam bahagia

kau tetap di hati
takkan lelah menunggu
tiada pengganti
hanya kau yang satu

ku tak kesal mengenali dirimu
menyayangimu sementara
walau telahpun terluka hatiku
kau telah kenalkan ku cinta

ku bertanya
pada bulan dan bintang
pada gema dan suria
kemana gembira menghilang

kau tetap di hati
takkan lelah menunggu
tiada pengganti
hanya kau yang satu

adakah hanya ku teman biasa
seawal saat kita berjumpa
anganku alangkah indahnya
ku milikmu menjadi nyata

I am keeping the title secret but you r welcome to guess

Is when all is calm in the midst of a storm
Is full of meaning even when nothing is said
Is seeing fireworks everytime you look in the sky
Is hearing her voice in every conversation
Is seeing her face each time you close your eyes
Is hearing her name whispered by every breeze
Is missing her so much, it hurts
Is losing all sense, yet it is all oh-so-right
Is finding it hard to breathe when she is nowhere near
Is smiling watching her sleep
Is finding no flaws in an imperfect person
Is being born again every single day
Is the reason you wake up each day
Is wishing time stays still whenever you look in her eyes
Is a taste of Heaven on Earth
Is missing her even though she's right beside you
Is finding all reasons to be with her and no excuses not to
Is like discovering the eight colour of the rainbow on a rainy day
Is not being able to take your eyes of her
Is all, everything
Is .............................................................


(plus u r welcome to add to the list)

Please, Mr Sandman

i do not know wat's goin on. but for the past few days, i havent been gettin good sleep.
been disturbed by bad dreams. even wen i take a short nap in the afternoon, i cant get peace in dreamland. last night, i dreamt my end was near. i woke up scared.

it's been goin on for 5 days already and it's taking a toll on me. i noe i shouldnt be too concerned by it coz they r juz dreams anyways but it's weird. there are times wen ppl say dreams do come true. it's like dreams r messages that pre-empt you on wat's gg to happen. i noe it has happened to me b4, wen u dream of sumthin n the event ocurs a few days later. they may b coincidences or juz self-fulfilling prophecies since you r thinking too much abt it.

wateva it is, i m not doin so well. i need answers.

As Days Pass By

As days pass by
Seconds ticks away
Hopes escalate
Reason to smile
Intensity magninifies
As days pass by

Torture me crazy
Make me senseless
Leave me breathless
Kiss me dizzy

I adore you in every way
Your every bit
Every move
Everyday

A new adventure

A new adventure
started full of promise
excitement in the air
of all those and these

Explosions within
calm exterior
filling with glee
electric bearer

Days mounted with anticipation
blood starts racing again
mental pictures are playing
breaking away from restrain

Emotions restirred
like a schoolboy all over
potentials expectant
A new adventure

Shocked, Happy, Irate, Rapturous, Annoyed

Quite an eventful september it has been for me.
At the start of the month, i had to send the black beauty, Jee Jee to the doctor, coz her front rack was smashed due to an unfortunate accident. so i got reacquianted with Baby Monster for about 2 weeks.

Then for the past three days, i've been quite happy. something has made me feel kinda like over the moon. still early to say but looks like it might last for some time. i hope it will. it actuali started last week bt was heightened since wednesday. however, this elation was marred by a surprising discovery.

I was withdrawing money from my acct and realized that more that 1k was missing. i was thinkin, it cldnt be that my salary was not credited in full. as i was fully absorbed by it, Shira gave me a great idea, "why don't you call DBS and find out?"..like duh, how stupid was i? there i was thinkin that either i need to go home to check my transaction history thru IB or go to the bank the nx day.

So i called, n wat the CSO told me shocked me. someone has withdrawn $1600 from an ATM from my account at 246am 12 sep. Hey, i was asleep at that time. n my ATM card is still with me. did i sleepwalk all the way to the ATM??

how did this happen? cloned card? but nobody had access to my card. wateva it is, i made the police report. spent 1 hour at Orchard NPC getting my statement recorded and making the report. I m super super pissed.

If i had that $1600 to spare, it might still take the sting out a little. but i need the money. there are many things to pay for, n that is like 2/3 of my pay. so this month i'm like down to playin ard wif 30% of wat is left, c wic bills r impt n wic ones i can skip. bloody hell. this is so inconveniencing me. To whoever that took the money, juz know that i will pray that you never leave the gates of hell. it is not a big amount of money but to me, it is. i will still survive but it has pushed me back a few months. the trouble that i'm being put into is just so damn irritating. and Raya is around the corner. looks like another solemn Raya for me.......

TDD 2008

The Dinner was held @ Bliss Garden Restaurant at Singapore expo. The theme was Starry Starry Night so we were encouraged to come dressed as stars or with star accessories. Here is what I came up with.

that explains it

The Boy Next Door Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLD) Kind, yearning, playful, you are The Boy Next Door. You're looking for real Love, a lot like girls do. It might not be manly, but it's sweet. We think the next three years will be very exciting and fruitful ones for you. Your spontaneous, creative side makes you a charming date, and we think you have a horny side just waiting to shine. Or glisten, rather. You enter new relationships unusually hopeful, and the first moments are especially glorious. If you've had some things not work out before, so what. On paper, most girls would name the Boy Next Door as their ideal mate. In the real world, however, you're often passed over for more dangerous or masculine men. You're the typical "nice guy:" without just a touch of cockiness, you're doomed with girls. A shoulder to cry on? Okay, sure. But never a penis to hold. More than any other type, Boys Next Door evolve as they get older. As we said, many find true love, but some fail miserably in the search. These tarnished few grow up to be The Men Next Door, who are creepy as hell, offering backrubs to kids and what not. Your exact male opposite: The 5-Night Stand Deliberate Brutal Sex Master Always avoid: The Nymph (DBSD) Consider: The Maid of Honor (DGLM), The Peach (RGLM)

I enjoyed this

Bad Moon

so tonyt was quite a disaster

managed to prove that i was an egoistical self-centred a-hole by certain actions or shall i put it more accurately, non-actions.

well, there goes another day, tomoro's a new day

let's c wat it has in store for me..........

My Greasers

This was the dance I kapor-ed fm youtube, made some minor changes, then taught to my 2NT kids for their thematic concert. here you can see it being put together by my kids after abt 3 weeks of practice, wif abt 2 hr practices each week.

Week In Review

My every week had been full of stuff to do but neva so eventful. This previous week, i was involved in 3 major events. been wanting to write about them during the wk but neva had the time or energy for it.

First was the end of the era wic i managed to key in. My baby belongs to someone else now. He has shown that he can take good care of her and tt keeps me happy.

Last Monday, I got hitched to me new, old Baby, We were introduced the previous week and this week, i had spent much time getting acquainted to her. Had to get to know how she moves, wic of her buttons to push, how much i can push her, how to handle her, etc. still impressed with her many curves, the front and the back, so sleek wic made me attracted to her in the first place. loves the way she feels under me, hugging my body as we explore the world, not yet the world la but..... u get the drift. enjoying the way she purrs with every thrust. yet to hear her roar. there's still more of JeeJee for me to find out but all we have is time.

on Friday, my 2NT classes had their Thematic concert. This was what i was busy with the whole week. A roller coaster ride that can arrest any person's cardia. I think i exhibited all available emotions and showcased several characteristics too; happy, sad, fuming mad, generous, unreasonable, whiney, diplomatic, authoritative, motivational, uncaring. but in the end, they put up a gd show. i had no doubt from the very beginning that they would. they just needed a little push and some encouragement. The next day, treated 18 of them to a movie, Speed Racer, for their outstanding achievement in my Maths Mid Year Exam. it was a short outing but hoped they enjoyed themselves.

Ranking

Just checked my Scrabble international ranking.

At 1388 Points I stand at a moderate rank of 479 in the world.

can't wait for the 7th Causeway Challenge at the end of this year.

End of an era

it's almost official.

Sold my Ducati Monster for 3k. She has been a wonderful servant for the last 2.5 years.

but it's time to move on.

I will miss you baby. Getting me places rain or shine. but i'm handing you over to my trusted friend. hope he'll treat you better than i should.

once the paperwork is done, you'll be co-owned but you'll have a new home in Bedok. u may take some time to adjust to your new surroundings but i believe you'll manage. i hope you'll provide your new co-owner with some rides of his life coz you've been built for performance n perform u shall.

memories of you will forever be etched in me. from saving you in a garage in Sims Drive back in 2005. Sprucing u up, giving you new life with new parts, you've roared back to life in style. now, you'll be playing your music for someone else, revving your raw power down the roads under someone else's butt.

i will remember you n u wun be far. i'll still visit you. for now, i bid you an early farewell.

Screwer

The week was quite uneventful. it was exam period and my class was behaving well. finished my nmarking early, on the day of my paper. and evrything was going quite smoothly.

Then came friday. short day. i already planned to leave at 12, go home, rest and then go for prayers. lookrd at my schedule and saw i will be done invigilating by 10. got two hours to spare, can do some work. having trouble with the VPN token so was trying to solve the issue.

at 1110, came back to my table and heard my phone rang. picked up n owyong was asking me where i was. i said i was at my table, and she told me i was supposed to be at class 3N4 for invigilation, i was surprised and i asked, "Sure or not?". i rechecked the schedule n lo n behold, yes, i was supposed to be at 3N4. how did i manage to overlook this? mebe becoz i dun teach this class. i highlighted each n evry one of my invig slots but i seem to manage to miss this slot.

Then i saw Farah's message at 1108 asking me to be where i m supposed to be. n i saw missed calls from choocy, all this ppl were fm the exam com. as i was rushing up the stairs to the class, my HOD also called me asking where i was n wheteher i was on my way to the invig rm. haiya, y muz i always screw up n the big ppl will notice?

Man, wat a way to end the exam wk. in the end i left at 1210. hehe.

A worthwhile weekend

The past two days, i have been at Ngee Ann City participating in a Futsal 4-a-side tourney organised by Ford Motors and Mediacorp jointly sponsored by Nintendo, The "Ford 4-a-side Challenge". was surprised to be included in the team in the first place. according to dhahrul, the person who heard abt this tourney, i was the first person he called as he thot i cld play as a keeper for the team.

so my recreation soccer team decided to send in one team of five players including one reserve. the best of us were chosen to play i guess n i got to play juz becos they needed a keeper. teams had to register and then 20 out of all the applicants would be drawn lots to play in the tourney. so as u already noe, my team got the luck n we were selected. The top prize was an all expense paid trip to Moscow to watch the Champions Lg Final. the catch was only 4 players got to go. being not a Man U fan nor Chelsea fan, i decided to "volunteer" 2b the one not to go.

the group stages on saturday were played and we got 2nd in the group losing out to Joga Bonitoz 3-2 in our final group game. Drew our first game 5-all, won the 2nd 3-2 and the third 4-2. oh, i forgot to mention, when the rules were explained before we bagan our games, there would be no goalkeeper. so i couldnt use my hands but played as a last man instead.

Sunday games started with the last 16 and we won 4-2, i think. then we were drawn against Joga for the quarter finals. we made quite a hoo hah abt it as both teams were from the same group. for a top and 2nd placed team from the same group meeting in the quarter finals is ridiculous. we complained to John Faulkner, the tournament director and he sportingly changed the quarter final fixtures.

At the start of the day. I also entered myself in their "King of Penalties" competition to test my goalkeeping skills. there were 32 participants for this mini competition. each player got three kicks each while his opponent wld keep goal. this mini comp was played in between the main matches. so after a whole lot of diving and shooting i got myself into the final. winner wld walk away with $500 Takashimaya shopping voucher and a Nintendo DS Lite.

Came up against Sali in the final and sadly i lost 3-2. the weird thing was, no 2nd prize. damn it.

well, in the main comp, we manage to get ourselves into the final, setting up a match against Joga Bonitoz. They were favourites for the comp judging form Glenn Ong's comments that they were the team to beat. Runner up gets $2000 cash. i didnt mind losing in the final as it means i would get $400, since i've already de-volunteered myself.

the final started at 515pm and ten minutes separated the winners from a date in Moscow. Joga had fast and skillful players. even their last man possesses an explosive shots. had a few shots whizzing past me from long range. with a lot of flicks and one touch passing, Joga managed to squeeze in a couple of shots near the D but i did manage to deflect most shots away with my shins, foot, knee and even my butt. but the inevitable came and they scored about 4 minutes into the final. i put up a lamne protest that the shot was taken inside the D but the FAS referee shooed me away. but 2 minutes later, by a stroke of luck, Fadhli chipped the ball to Khairul. he nutmegged one defender but got pulled wide to the right. from the smallest of angles, Khai blasted the ball into the top left corner. and we levelled it up at 1-1. in case u were wondering, my team's not bad too, since we were in the final. haha i gez u noe tt but juz wanted to make sure u noe.

so an intense 4 minutes were coming up. Joga with their fast football and us defending desperately. we countered smoothly getting the ball to khairul, our point man, as much as possible. With Fadhli and Boy running the wings, their silky touches created some panic in Joga's defence too. then the final whistle came.4 minutes of golden goal extra time was to follow.

the frantic pace continued with both teams defending well. time was running out fast and i was already psyching myself up for the penalty shoot-out. with a few seconds left, i made a long pass to khairul, as was rehearsed throughout the whole tourney, he trapped the ball, quickly turned his defender, and squeezed his shot past the last man at the near post. and there it was, we were Champions. i still cant belive it. We Won!! Simple effective football. Stuck to our game plan and we beat the tournament favourites.

Amidst the celebrations, i sorta regretted my decision to take myself out of the equation for the Moscow trip. Five players but only 4 tickets. what were the organisers thinking?? so during the prize giving ceremony, when the champions for the Ford Challenge, The Dirty Ballers, was announced i was elated when i saw them holding a Nintendo Wii. I went up the stage first and quickly grabbed the game console, turned to my teammates and exclaimed, "I'm keeping this!" i don't think they minded as the thot of going to Moscow to watch the Champions Lg Final for free was overpowering their emotions.

So, the Nintendo Wii costs me $106 - $20 registration fee, $54 income from tuition forego-ed, and $33 worth of two days parking fees, and two days of sweat. quite a worthwhile weekend spent i myt say.

Finally

Finally i have some time to regroup and take a back seat. Sports Day is over.
Term 2 was hectic. too many things too little time. I'm juz glad Sports Day went without much controversy nor any major hiccups. I admit i overlooked certain things but they were well covered up by my excellent team. Hope the kids enjoyed themselves and i can safely assume that SD was a success.

A mastercard moment happened tdy. We were dealing with some latecomers and there was this particular boy who is insistent on getting his phone back. We were explaining to him that he can only get his phone back after he has served his detention. Note this boy is about 1.8m tall. pretty big for a 16 yr old. then this 15 yr old 1.6m boy kaypo-ing in our discussion. So the bigger boy was trying to explain that he needed the phone to call his mum. came up with a dozen excuses why he needed to call her. so the smaller boy nonchalantly took out a 10 cent coin and handed it to the bigger boy and said, "here take this, go call your mum". n there we all broke out laughing. priceless.

a friendly request

dear friends n all who noe me
my phone conked out on me recently n as a result of the repair all data was lost. so i am in the process of rebuilding my phone book.i seek your help to take some time off your busy schedule to sms me your contact number or u can also juz email me.
thanx

bad moon rising

it's been a hectic two weeks. my desk is messier than eva. work is piling, so many outstandings still unresolved.
it all started last week wen all of a sudden i lost my mood to work. juz a minor sight n poof, my energy got sapped out of me. there i was walkin along n suddenly the rug got pulled out under me. havent recovered since.
i dono if paranoid is the words to use but dis inferiority that i feel abt myself has risen to greater heights. i feel so incompetent. n it's not abt work. now i use work to bury myself in that penetrable fortress i call my workspace. since i spend almost 3/4 of the day there, no wonder it hit me hard. the motivation juz seeped away.
wat cld i haf done differently? shld i haf different expectations? shld i shelf my dreams? wen the brain is not in control, how do i switch it back on?
n 3 days ago, it got worse. dropped my phone in skl n the screen's gone blank. need ti send it for repair n i haf no time for it. all my contacts r in that phone. sigh.
somebody told me to go for it if it was really wat i wanted. but i haf failed miserably. i tried in vain. i dono wat i wan anymore. let life deal its cards n i juz play the hands that comes my way. knowing my luck, it's a losing battle.

The child

Every first glimpse
feels like a child at recess
rushing up the lawn
greeting the mum he misses

Those emeralds of sight
those pearls of white
I continue to yearn
In heart I listen

Not to own
Burning inside
From distanced zone
smiling wide

Like a morning flower
missing the sun's touch
Trying to reach higher
Alas, only dare watch

Of dozens I love
In love with one
To seal a sin
kept deep within

Aaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!

It's 2.18 am in the morn n i'm freaking pissed. i dunno y but i'm feeling some kinda of emotion tt's not sittin too well wif me.
