Guys.. sorry for those who keep waiting for this entry. I am home :) at last.. It's great to be home, emjoying your days with family and your own stuff back home. I flew back on the 10th which fell on friday, reached home at about seven something. It was really really great to be Home. I stepped in, took a quick glance and felt secure. Nothing will be better than home cooked food which was prepared by my grandma. She is old now and I try hard to talk and communicate with her. She has been falling sick for the last few months but since she went to get some lucky charm from the temple, changed doctor and she becomes more cheerful. I am glad to hear that she's fine and more lively every single day. I dare not talk about the future, or some years to come. i just want her to feel happy and.. enjoy herself. They said.. family is a basic unit of society.. which is perfectly true as in.. for us.. no one will understand me more than family and I hope your family too. The only woman that really loves you is your mother and a guy who loves you always is your father. THey give warmth and caring. The scent of love could be touched and surprisingly, they will always forgive you when you do something wrong. have you given your parents a kiss today? If not, please do so. Tell them that you love them and you will take care of them when they grow old.
Okay, so.. it's been a while since I updated my last entry. I dont have time, sorry guys. Since I come back home I have not stepped out of my house, or a few times out with my family to university, to the Emporium, to have dinner or something like that. Ya.. and I enjoy myself at home, taking care of the shop and doing tuition, homework and stuff you know.. Study study study, my mom kept reminding me to study but I don't reflect back that kinda expression anymore. I know she cares for me a lot and I will do it for her. Very seldom i come back to Thailand and many people asked me to buy things for them.. hey, you think luggages got no weight limit issit?.. Huh? Kiam pa.. And I had my medical check up again. This time round I lost weight, and the blood pressure.. chloresterol and other things are better than last time, I feel soooo goooodd.. Wow. that's amazing. However, the badminton training is on hold as I got lots of work to catch up.. and stuff. Everyday i have tuition.. at four pm I need to take the MRT down to Asok station which is like..2 stops from here.. and 5 mins walk to the tutor's house, having chemistry tuition.. Then, I have Physics tuition and ,maths tuition at home.. at six thirty until like nine or something.. OMG.. that sounds so interesting right... Please say yes.. I enjoyed doing them. So, i replaced my badminton training session with exercise in the morning. My dad will wake me up and drive to the park. SO what I did were jogging with my dad for..5-6 round so it means I jogged about 4 k everyday. So it's really a great time for me to share what are my experiences are like in Singapore. I do comsult him some certain things and asked for his suggestion. Ya... then I also watched movie with family, mr and mrs smith.. that was great, man.. I quite like it. Haha.. So guys.. enjoy your holiday and may it be a productive holiday for all. Cheers! I will keep updating my blog if I have time. Ok.. See yall when I am back to singapore
-------------------------
and everytime i think of you
i'll remember all the good times that we've had
and everytime i sing this tune
i will laugh, i will cry, i will close my eyes cause i know that it won't be long
until we sing, we will write, we will laugh away the night
and the good times will never end
when we meet again
and i'm gonna be somewhat lonely
cause you know no one could ever fill your shoes
as iron sharpens iron you have tought me how to be a stronger man
and i look forward to the day i'll learn again
we will sing, we will write, we will laugh away the night
and i know that it won't be long,
until we meet again
though i wish that i were with you now i know there's a reason for space
i can dream of memories you're writing down
and i look forward to that day & the smile on your face
we will sing, we will write, we might cry and we might fight
and the good times will never end
we will laugh, we'll relax, we'll reflect on the years we've past
and i know that it won't be long,
until we meet agian
-------------------------
At last, we walked out of the campsite with frown and sadness painted across our face, I dare not saying anything out as the tear duct can burst it's fully stored watery liquid inside, crossed the road slowly, walked back to the MRT station and saw every single one of us separate from each others.. one by one.. and left only me at the Tanah Merah station. Time passed so slow after the LTC camp, i felt a thrust of loneliness and hopelessness in me.. Sigh.. The camp was so memorable and we just had lots of fun.. I would like to say that I miss every one of you.. Without you all, the camp wouldn't be perfect. It would be something different, something that lack of the perfection.. never mind.. we are going to meet some day..in the near future.. every member of The 'VERTICAL FIVE' will never be ignored.. will never be left in the darkness.. I think i starting to crap already..
Simple introduction, for Oak, Desmond, Zuzu, Mei Ting, Nat, Shu Yi, Stephanie, Guna, Cynthia, Alston, Ellyna, and last but not least, Mr Ridz ( issit correct? )
Ok.. start with the reflection.. Personally, I think it's the most enjoyable camp ever. Our group is just simply the best, which is needless to say. Everyone of us has a part to play. Everyone has the quality of leader.. We have achieved our goal. We had fun, responsibility, trust, communication, confidence and are ready to face the life's challenges. Right? ya!!!. I don't know how to say but it's the inside that counts. Impressive, supurb and many more words can describe this camp now.. I really miss you guys so much... i want to see you all again and hope that you all will keep in touch among one another.. KKS?..
What did we do there?
First day, 3rd June 2005,
Dear Diary,
I asked Wai Kin to meet me at the Bedok station at one forty five but both of us were late, so he was not really waiting for me and i was not really waiting for him.. haha.. then, we reached the harborfront MRT, saw lots and lots of Xinmin sec people and Saints Andrews people.. I only knew a few people at that time.. which was quite sad la.. but since I knew some, better than knew no one right?.. ya.. then ms Khoo took us to the campsite, we walked in and I noticed that the campsite looked very gloomy and crumpy, cuz i usually never stayed in that kindda place. However, I then separated to the assign group, the names of the member were listed above.. Ya. and we played all the games, sang all the cheers and built our friendship, created the team spirit and understandings. The first game was to solve the holding hands.. aiyah.. explain la... okok.. All of us stood in circle, and everyone held each others hands... then we try to solve it into one circle, but unfortunately we made two circles!!!! then we set our goals, got to know more about each other as time passed by.. you know.. it's kinda fun.. with everyone.. Steph was the mei of the group and guna is the ah-hia of the group.. we took good care of everyone.. that's why it's the leadership.. it's eveyrone's responsibility.. good job everyone.. clap clap clap.. *HUG*....OHHHH!!! and I was assigned to be the first captain of the ship,... We took turn leading the ship together and I was the first one because I volunteered.. Ya.. Simply... after dinner, we took a brisk walk to the Labrador Park. Labrador park is a park that Singapore used as the defence base in the past when Japan attacked Singapore from the North. Then this park was used by the ally and Singapore managed to drive out the japanese I think.. somehow liddat la...a
Yup Yup... we were given many questions to solve, and we ran around the park at night... so it was another fun time we had... you know.. everyone helped each other to solve the problems.. darkness and helped us to know more about each others.. It was really fun but i need to keep it short.. V5 is really the best lah.. all the rest can go fly kite.. really go fly kite okay..hahaz.. Ya.. Mei Ting , Dez and Zuzu were the most three active member so far at that time.. I just chose one of them to be the leader at the committee of highness, choosing who was gonna be the next one who lead the ship. You know why i chose zuzu? because he was only sec 2 and I want to practice him.. to be a leader.. so.. dez and mei ting.. I was really sorry.. but everyone was deserved to be the leader and the captain of the ship. Ok? We are the best. At last, we found the treasure, at first i thought it was what... haiyo.. just H2O isotonic drinks only.. sigh.. but it was really refreshing.. thanks andrew!.. Ya.. came to the reflection of the first day and the leadership role in school.. we talked talked.. crapped crapped and had fun altogether V5!.. Lolx..
On the way back, we played game with Ridz and the 'DUH~~~ whatever sia'.. Oops!! that's our ally.. Ya.. he played the Fuzzy Wuzzy or donnoe what lah but I roughly know what was it about.. then he played lots and lots of games when we walked back to the camp site.. It was really fun and enjoyable.. You should try man... Yupz.. then we bathed, and dream away in the stuffy room.. I was very curious.. in the first place, why the four painted figure in front of the toilet had no faces??
Good night V5!!!
--------Oh V5 the super one, Oh V5 the mighty one... Oh V5 the super V5 the mighty.. Oh V5 the number one.. POON POON~~~ ------------..

Day3 , 5 June 2005
Dear Diary,
I woke up very early today.. usually I woke up at like.. 7 something but today I woke up at six forty because I had to paint the wall, the unfinished part. We are leaders and V5 is the best..that’s what I have to bear in mind. Haha.. KKs.. we did manage to paint it out a bit lar.. but almost finished.. so Ritz gave us time to paint after lunch.. Thanks a lot… Actually I cannot really remember what we did on that day la.. but.. anyway.. I will try haha.. Oh.. after breakfast then we went up to the MPH.. to do the qualities of the leaders and responsibility. Then, we proceeded to the field, and walk walk, talk talk , crap crap.. Actually we were finding treasure. The first obstacle was the electric fence, and the ants’ nest at the ground.. Itchy itchy scratchy scratchy down your LEGS.. haha. Ants climbed there climbed here but that is the only thing that draing our attention away.. The main obstacle is to cross the electric fence. So we were given two planks ( wooden ) but imagined it was metal.. so we use those plank to transfer everyone from one side to another.. so… how my smart group member carried me was… they let me stand on the two planks.. raised me up till the fence height and then I jumped down… you know,, it’s pain..haha.. however, they continued doing this until the last person.. Nat was the last one to get cross the fence..but how?.. MAKE USE OF THE TWO PLANKS!!! So we put the two planks in this ‘X’ shape then he crossed over.. Second activity was to cross the river.. with three wooden stick. So I suggested them to tie those stick up with two ropes, then all managed to cross over.. GooD JoB EVERyWAN~~~ Okae Okae.. then we met the evil wizard.. wanted to give us the cure for the villagers but didn’t really want to give us.. so we snatched it from him.. The medication was in the somehow like..bucket but we need to snatch the bucket before he took some of our things.. Sia La.. evil..haha.. then.. we did so many things on that day// actually it was quite tiring but it worth our efforts we put in. We crossed so many rivers and hills.. I fell down when I was carrying over the cure.. and all that.. how?.. V5 V5 is the best.!!! Then we had lunch break and our group was the first to had lunch, so we had more time for the painting.. haha..Ok.. Then, what.. Zip Line abseiling.. fun? FUNNNN!!!! Ya.. so roughly it’s like.. went up to the building, put on those dangling things I mentioned before, drop yourself down and enjoy the brisk of blistering wind.. lolx.. it’s just very relaxing..and fun.. Oh.. and I like the guy who carried us down from the zip line ah.. he was very funny one.. talk crap and crack jokes all the time.. haha..Ok Ok.. Den~.. I do what.. erm~ oh.. walked to the canteen, behind there and do some blind folding activities, squeezing activities… How did you expect eleven people to stand in one ring of the HOola Hoops? Unexpected.. other groups surely cannot one but our group leh?.. OF COURSE CAN!! FLY KITES FLY KITES OTHER GROUPS CAN GO FLY KITES!! Lolx.. then after that we did some preparation.. and some of them go for the challenging pole. Challenging pole is a very challenging one even though I didn’t go for it.. I hate hights and I hope that everyone will know that I hate height.. SO.. I went back to the dorm, read crayon, listen to music.. and all crap.. then I went to the canteen, had dinner and go prepared for the campfire..
Another Big THANKS to Zuzu and Nat who represented us for the campfire committee..!!! Yay!! It really took most of their time in the evening preparing the campfire for us to enjoy.. let’s talk about the campfire then,.. Campfire is just a very normal one but full of interesting stuff as ever.. Dance competition for girls, copycat dance for boys, item presentations, and the intro of campfire and ending of campfire by MOE.. the Emcee looked like a perfect couple.. Aiyah danced in rhythm with ‘let’s get it started’. Boomerang went well with’ A-Yoh A Yoh A Yoh.. superstar by Jemelia!’.. Cha cha bing shake themselves with the Indian music.. Duh~ went great with their skit, loneliness.. V5 had a very fun time there… with the tribal intro, chicken dance, er..another chicken dance and duck dance… hahaha.. you shoud learn how to dance our trademark ones.. haha.. it was superb!.. Ya la.. just that… then I was the King of the dance in that night.. Lolx.. Thanks everyone for the support..Okie?..
After the campfire, we went to bath, then joined the XMS people and boomerang for some games and activities, but before that, boys bathed in the toilet and sang the bathing song, and lined up in twos from the boys dorm, sang a song and walked with rhythm to the canteen for supper.. It went like this.
_--------As we walk to the left and we walked to the right.. as we walk walk walk and as we walk all night.. then sth sth .. like.. da~~ heels to the toe and a half turn round.. hells to the toes and new fren found!! Yeah..~------------ simply it’s just too fun.. and Ridz said that he likes us very much as we were the most independent group ever!!Ya.. great right?.. Hoiz.. say good la..!! Then, we watched a bit of movies, screened the photos on the projector machine.. and cheers for our photos screened. Haha.. Okay.. then after that.. we proceed to the top of the world to play games with everyone.. you know… dance, games and entertainment.. stuff… hokey pokey,, and all that.. XMSians are very active and creative.. they are very naaaiiiccceee..thanks everyone for making this a success.. The most interesting part seemed to be the last part of the game, to make people laughed and smile.. For our group, as we are very friendly so we can shone our smile everytime so we lost to some of other groups but my group right.. only me who neva smiled.. by girls!! OOhhhhHHH!!!.. haha.. but you should know I always smile.. HEEZ!! Even Stephanie couldn’t get my smile.. then she went crap crap with other friends… got the lame jokes but I still what.;. STONED.. haha.. painted across my face, eh?.. sO,, at last left me, Ken, and two Xmsians… Ya.. It was a great night and I hoped everyone enjoyed it too!

AND BIG THANKS TO RIDZ WHO BROUGHT SMILEY FACE TO US ALL
TO MY PEEPS, here is something i want to share with you.. Just a quote from Stevie Wonders: That;s what friends are for..
And I'd never thought I feel this way
And as far as i'm concerned, i'm glad I got a chance to say
That i do believe I love you
And if, I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try to feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember,
Keep smiling, Keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me,
For sure,
that's what friends are for...
For good time,
and bad times, I will be on your side forever more.
That;s what friends are for.
Then you came and open me,
Now there're so much more I see
and so by the way I thank you
and then, all the time that we're apart,
Well then close your eyes and know
THe words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember,
Keep smiling, Keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me,
For sure,
that's what friends are for...
For good time,
and bad times, I will be on your side forever more.
That;s what friends are for.
