Freaking Happy

My Dad just bought me my 21st birthday present.

A Sony micro Hi-Fi.

Words just cant describe how happy i am.

I got no time to blog. i need to book in.

I have not been so happy for a long time.

(=

Shag x 2

Hell of a week up ahead.

Hope it goes pass quickly and smoothly.

Perhaps then will i get some time of my own.

BREATH.

Shag La!

Wa lau eh. Finally can get home and guess what? I AM BOOKING IN 20mins!

This month pay damn hard to earn. I only get to go home twice in the whole freaking month! Crazy stuffs. Luckily theres some offs coming on on Tues and Wed.

I think i am underpaid. Damn. I really really think so. Work looks never ending.

I just wanna read my books.


Tata

Shit.

Gonna book it soon. Sian. Sian. Sian.

Fell sick a few days back. Shit like nobody's business. Fever and vomiting and all those other crazy stuff.

SIAN.

So much work to do and so little time!

Hmm..

Just watched "Money Not Enough II". Yea yea, i know its a bit late but what the heck.Well, gonna admit i was quite taken back by that show. Was really expecting a comedy. Turns out that it was a mixture of small bits of comedy added to a very sad and real family drama.

Very good show, sets you thinking.

Moving on. I got a complain to make.

Am i too nice? Do people take the stuff i do for granted? I really admire those people that can make a fuss out of everything they do, no matter how trivial they are. Being kind and polite just isn't enough these days. I think i must learn from them.

3 GOLDEN RULES

Do stuff that you are tasked to do. Nothing more, nothing less.

Don't try to be a kind soul and get things done just for the sake of it. When tasked to do something, take your own freaking sweet time. Only then will they notice when the thing finally gets done and most importantly, they will remember that YOU did it.

Don't go and give it all the 1st time you do something. Think. Your 1st impression counts. Get it done well is good of course, but that too sets a very high benchmark for yourself. If you can carry on the trend then alls well. But it you fail, well maybe not even fail, lets just say you under perform, you will be heavily penalized. I bet they will forget all the stuff you did well in the past too.

I freaking hate those assholes.


Moving on again..


I am so freaking sian! Booking in soon. Kaoz. I just need a BREAK YO! Work work work, kaoz....

Special day of 21.

Very Special day indeed.

First and foremost, i am proud to announce to the whole wide world that I, CHEW KAI LONG, HAVE COMPLETE the ARMY HALF MARATHON! And i am still standing! For all those of you that doesn't know what that means, it is the running or riding at a steady slow trot for 21KM! TWENTY-ONE FREAKING KILOMETERS.

That to think when i couldn't even complete my 2.4km NAPFA run in sec school without stopping! And with a sprained ankle suffered from Brunei that just doesn't seems to recover, i really though i will like die halfway thru the run and get pictures of me posted all over the news etc....

BUT WHAT THE HELL, I made it.

Hurray to that! (=

Which brings me to the 2nd point on why this is a special day.

21 years ago, a little baby by the name of Cassandra Lee Shu Xian (I really really really hope i got the full name right), "kissed the world ". Yes i do remember (=. I am not really sure about the kissing part ya but yeap, i guess its a rather nice way of putting it. And so it happens that somewhere down her little road of life, 13years to be exact, that she bums into, well, ME.

We got on pretty well the moment we met. Doing away with all the formalities and straight into the casual "Shut Up!", "SHHHHHH!" and "TSK! TSK!" type of conversations, mostly me on the receiving end.

It was around a year or so later on,contrary to what other guys in my class thinks, that i discovered she did possess the capability to listen and engage in 2 way conversations. She is quite well in it actually, in fact, so well that i would flood her with all my sorrows and pain in the many unfortunate incidents i got into those days, incidents which i would, ahem, rather not elaborate. Reminded me to not drown her completely, which was quite possible at the rate i was going, but not a single time did she complained.

The mother-tongue classes! O how can i forget them?! I never really paid attention to those classes in sec sch, that i admit. Most of the time, i will just be dozing away and day dreaming. But with her, its 'Building Sand Castles In the Air', literally. I told her my dreams and she told me hers. And for once, i could see those dreams get nearer, just a bit closer. Its like a small little thought bubble will pop out in front of me. Instead of me alone laying the bricks now, i can see her laying her castle's brick too. Its that feeling, that feeling of common ground that is comforting, Knowing that someone has a dream so like yours, impossibly hard to achieve and yet, stills look on to it as ever so possible.

I will never forget the day. It was early in the morning where i i was making my way to the parade square, still half asleep, when u came charging and screamed "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!". I was surprised as normally people wouldn't give me advanced Birthday greetings so early. In fact, exactly one month earlier. I will never forget the expression of your face when u realized the silly mistake u made. (=

Do you remember those times, at the last day of your primary school/secondary schools, classmates will go around taking down phone numbers and addresses, telling each and everyone to stay in contact? All this fearing that as we go on with our life, we forget about a part of our past and lose our friends? Well, to me, friends move on with you in your life. They don't get left behind in the past. True friends never gets left behind nor do they leave their friends behind. Its only then, at the end of you life, you see your real friends around you. Not 20 or 30 of them and certainly not the 200 or 300+ in Facebook. Normally, its the handful that always sticks around. It doesn't mean that they have to meet every single day, know every single thing. They just always appear at the right place and the right time.

I can't say i will know what's gonna happen in the future. But what i can say is, i am glad that i have met you.

Happy 21st Birthday,
My Friend.
