Today i finally went to kbox with some of my jc friends. I felt that i din sing as well as in the past maybe due to a lack of practice, not that i sang very well last time, but nonetheless i still enjoyed myself.

There was one particular song they sang that left an impression on me. I hoped to sing that song well. Its lyrics reminded me of why i liked the chinese language so much last time. The lyrics are simple but expressive yet not lacking in emotional depth and beauty.

I am not trying to sound like an elitist, but sometimes i feel that the more educated or the less educated both do not understand why people bother to study cll. I can't be bothered with what these people think, but i feel a connection to people who like the chinese language, maybe cos we have the same passion. People say children who learn music will not be delinquents. But i feel people who study cll will not be delinquents too. But all these thinkings were in the past. Now i remain largely neutral.

Anw heres the lyrics of the song:

银色小船摇摇晃晃弯弯
悬在绒绒的天上
你的心事三三两两蓝蓝
停在我幽幽心上

你说情到深处人怎能不孤独
爱到浓时就牵肠挂肚
我的行李孤孤单单散散惹惆怅

离人放逐到边界
仿佛走入第五个季节
昼夜乱了和谐潮泛任性涨退
字典里没春天

离人挥霍着眼泪
回避还在眼前的离别
你不肯想明天
我不敢说再见
有人说一次告别
天上就会有颗星又熄灭

I met some of my jc classmates yesterday. The outing was not the type of noisy and rowdy ones which we usually do lots of crazy staff but rather a simple one which i felt was rather heart-warming. I haven seen many of them for ages and its nice to hear that they are all doing well. Save for the fact that all those who were, are still single and available, lol.

And i was very happy, when i heard that ms chua thinks our class is still the best class she has taught.

At night i went for some band meeting. And its not that i am not willing to help the band, but its administration spells inefficiency like the saf lol. And the matters are complicated and we are solving things without going to the basis of the problem, which can't even be identified. And i am stuck in this bottomless pit, where we have meetings and meetings and more meetings.

“Meetings are a symptom of bad organization. The fewer meetings the better.” lol

Ex. Crescendo finally came to an end. And i am back from the land of tom yum goong. Apparently recession din hit thailand, cuz prices still remain the same and are charged based on price discrimination. But this time i spent lesser money.

I finally get to see the light. This will be my last overseas trip and i am left with a couple of outfield exercises and a few regimental duties and 6 more mnths to wayang before i get to ord. The times spent in thailand were boring, long, irritated, yet fun all mixed together. I did many crazy things with my fellow army buddies.

Close to one and a half yr in N.S. and i duno if i have learnt anything new but at least some of my thinking had changed. Some people believe in doing the best for everything, but i am still more incentive-driven. When i am compelled to do sth without the incentives, i dun have to do to my best but theres no use resisting. I just take it to my stride and move on.

And i dun have to like everyone but i nid to maintain a working relationship, especially with the 'superiors'. I still dun like people who act and wayang but theres no reason to not be friends with them. On a positive note, the nsf in my office are all quite nice people and the times spent with them were great.

Now its time for the AHM. I wanna run my best for the incentive of 3 days off. After AHM, i will prepare to ord with 3 more days of off.

And i really wanna sing. I haven't sung for a long time. With new groups of people, with old groups of people, lets all go singing one day!
