I think life rocks, literally. It has it's ups n downs. Sometimes things are more beautiful, somethings everything seems so gloomy. The beauty of it all is tat God strengthens us when we r weak, when we are battered and worn, when we wished tat it would end, but we endured, n we survived.

When we look back, hey, i've been there, done that. When things ahead show similar situations, we are better prep to assess them and take the necessary action. If all else fails, we know we will still pull thru at the end of the day.

So.. smile, coz this is the day that the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it.

Class rep thingy has passed. Yeah man.. seeing how my class rep suffers now... hmm i tink it's a God appointed move. Thanks Rouxin for ya word in season. oh and Edwin too, for reading my ranting n showing me tat u care to read my nonsense. haha~ Good bro. Zarah too, played a major role in coaxing me. hahahahha.

I was at some windsurfing course at East Coast. I "graduated". but somehow i'm not very convinced. Perhaps my fighting spirit despites all the many falls n flips prove that I deserve that certificate.

I love the sport. I love the freedom and open sea. Join me.

My band is going places. But i need to keep up with their pace. I don't wish to be the one to drag the band down. So press on mr bassman bob.

i've thought of setting up a community portal.. but.. i need breakthru. I need to bite my lips n pull thru. i need God..

My heart's kinda troubled. Perhaps the thought of leaving my parents after marriage(not so soon) seems rather heart wrenching. the values i cherish n everything i gave to stand by it.. suddenly seems so invalid. Don't just tell me. Convince me.


Bob oh bob

urgh~!

Something's stuck on my back... just gotta let go~!

Yes. I've been plagued by this rambling tat never fails to lift (rocket) up a brow or two every now n then.



I didnt make it to class rep.



To make things worst. i created this turn of event myself.

I PERSONALLY TOLD THE WHOLE CLASS, LECTURERS INCLUDED TO VOTE FOR THOSE ZAI IN THIS FIELD. I KILLED THE DECIDING VOTES WITH MY BIG MOUTH~

n the other guy won by 1 vote. btw... i voted for him too..


Hey... i tot i didnt want to be the class rep???

Well.... as much as i wanna lie low n do nuthing... i'm feeling all wierd sitting back now... it's like.. eh LTA Li.. wad's up wif u on the Attn B bench?

I wanna do so much things for my class.. i wanna organise this n that.. i wanna rally the class to get together for cohesions n makan sessions~! I even tot of a cycling trip liao.. let's not talk about the class grad song altogether..





k la.. i'm actually not all that sad la.. it's just the lack of sleep n mounting project deadlines...

So here i am to destress n vent n rant n kick the virtual bin...



Ok.. let's take things in perspective. I know i got more than half the class's support. so even though i may not be the class rep, i still can rally them together for watever cohesion that would suit us fine.

Also right now i'm just so busy with my freelance work... i can barely help out as class rep. i already forsee a torturous nite ahead.. burn the bridges, abandon the ships, gonna brace myself for the battle against the Zzz monster. An age old nemesis since the dawn of homework n deadlines.

The bugle calls.
The soldiers rally to arms.
The flag hoisted.
The sword raised.

To war, i must.
Victory, else.. Death.( ok not so bad.. just overdue work)

Wow..

The feeling of school rocks. I'm having a very different approach to school now.

Hey~ I thought school was supposed to be a dreary n yucky? Why this paradox shift?

Well, credit goes to all that I have been through. After toiling through national service, then a short stint as a flash designer, a different light was shed upon this once abhored phase in life. School is akin to heaven as to what army is to hell. Friendly folks for my mates, approachable lecturers, snacks are provided in between lessons, relaxed schedules, etc etc...

Already I am thinking of writing a song for my class's video. I can feel I will miss this student life I am leading now. I am even thinking of events that we can do as a class. Out for makan or something. Maybe I should be the class rep? hahahah.. we'll see how.. let the people decide. :) But lying low would a break from the high profile me. :P

Oh and our Melbourne trip~ am pretty excited about it!

Alritey, back to SCHOOL work!

Cheers
Bob

Dear Blog,

How have you been? Idling in the corner of my virtual environment again? Tsk tsk.. Make yourself more useful pls!

Blog leans over and whispers into my ears.

Oh... so u r trying to put the blame on me? What's tat about me being lazy and not making that conscientious effort to update is it? Eh.. dun play punk, go one corner and gimme 20~!

Blog's eyes widen. Shocked, and proceeds with his punishment next to the toilet entrance.

When you are done proceed with a set of 20 crunches, is that clear?

Blog struggles and nods vigoriously.


Hah..fine.. that was some self entertainment.



So here's some update on things.

Basically I have ceased working FT in my company. It's a great feeling to be freed up once again. Doing the things i enjoy. But with the freedom comes a responsibility to ensure that everyday is well spent and fruitful.

So... what have I been up to?
Listed randomly in no particular order*

one:
Was out at pulau ubin for a ride. rekindled the mountain biker in me. Kun jio me and his guitar student to join his SOT classmates for a ride on Monday morning. It rocks. 3 of us being advanced riders, we took the off road track with ease. riding, hopping over undergrowth and sprawling roots. Of course, we did all these without the SOT riders*. When we linked up with them, we rode at a more comfy pace and ran simpler routes.

*Disclaimer: Nothing is said about the SOT riders being less proficient n unable to overcome those obstacles we cleared. Just that the $2 rented bikes hindered their true potential. :)
(i thought i saw that guy clearing a 5 foot wall in a single leap... hmm )

two:
Swimming on a regular basis. Ok.. i'm making an effort to train up and see the flabs folding in and slowly vapourize. Hopefully I can keep to my training regime and reap forth the fruits of my hard work.

three:
I bought quite a few stuffs with my paychecks over the past few months. That included a sony digital camera. Been lugging it around whenever i am out. Took a few pics. Loving some of the shots!

four:
I chat up a supermodel.

Hah!

Something cool happened today. I bumped into a brazilian model on my way home. hehehehe... yeah.. she's really young, 16, but already been travelling since she was 14. Currently with Elite, a premier modelling agency. She's tall, pretty, vocal, fluent in English, and quite a nice person to chat with. Basically what happened was she was asking for directions and it was along the way, so kinda accompanied her to her destination. So along the way, we chatted and I gotta know more about her and her background. and as we chatted, somehow or rather, i could sense the despondency in her tone and countenance.Alas the high n volatile lifestyle of a model. Travelling, being ogled at, living the high life, bitching, flirting.

Hah, i'm not some pscychic, she shared with me. Perhaps finally she has a chance to share her thoughts/find solace in a total stranger and never worry about this person stirring up some major brew of gossip among her peers.

Oh, and i took a shot with her. :) BUT i kinda spoilt the photo with my mugshot n shaky hands. Argh! Perhaps i can work on my photography and photoshop skills.

five:
I have finally resumed my student life. Been to my campus, SIM-RMIT for a few orientations already. Hmm.. think i'm getting used to the place. Kinda have this impulse to take a class photo at the beginning of our school term and then at the end of our student life we can look back and perhaps reminiscence our younger days. We'll see how it goes next monday.

My classmates are pretty cool. Mostly having worked for period spanning from a few days to years prior to this course. Interesting people, and I'm learning to understand them better as the days go by.

six:
Finally my band, Boonbag, has finally set up our inhouse jamming studio! Yeah! we bought drum set, mixers, amps, headphones etc etc... been getting myself busy with jamming and stuff like that. Yeah~ we are getting closer to our dream and vision :)

Recordings, performances and shows... Here we come to make an impact!

seven:
Am working on my current design house. It's progressing a bit too slow. Bob, please buck up.

eight:
Had a OCS section gathering recently. Like some farewell gathering cum soccer match for Alan. He's an amazing guy. Excellent officer material. Sad to see him go off. But then again.. Plt 3 will reunite once again... some day... :)

Take care Alan~ we'll miss you!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something in life is not all that perfect. Sometimes i do get tired. Really tired. But...
I am trying to bring it to pass. Help me.

I'm not God, just a guy trying to be Christ-like.
To those that read my blog, i'm really fine. No worries man. i'm trained.

Oh, work beckons.
