Title: break indeed 2
One day after the all first assignments ended, i have now begun work on the second one. Productive i would say to justify the team's effort. But then, it is stressful and it was a good thing that we started earlier because we realised we lacked of time.
Project aside, i went to watch soccer today - Singapore under 23 VS Malaysia Olympic Team - with Ming Kuan, Clement, Danny, Ann and Guan Zhu. It was at Jurong West stadium, a relatively new stadium. Funny was that for the goals i saw them went, most probably, i would be chatting with Ann and not focused on the match. So when the attacking players were near the goal, the raise in noise volume from the crowd intrigued me to pay attention on the match and commonly, when i turned and looked, it was when the player pulled the trigger and kicked the ball to the back of the net. haha. What a joke! I think it happened twice or so.
I am wanting to write some stories on the blog, but it seems i have got no focus to do so. I will leave till i have both inspiration and energy to blog it all.

Break indeed
Title: break indeed
Finally i've reaped my well-deserved break. To celebrate my victory against the projects' stress and to commemorate my hardwork, i went to Expo with Michelle and Guan Zhu. Well, it was a good trip. Such a long time was it that we haven't had such hearty chats together. Then we had fun on the train back home. First, we had played the multi-players tennis game. The second half of the trip was absurd but purely fun. First, we tried taking photo of the three smarties. But somehow, the three never got into the picture favourably. We did a "五连拍“ in which we took video of ourselves and doing all sort camera poses in front of the camera phones. I thought it was some public showcase as we were so engrossed in our new-found love in the game/activity that we were insulated/immuned to the surroundings' curious peeks.
It was a good way to start a break. Many more to come, i hope.

back+wishes
Title: back+wishes
Few weeks have gone, what have i been doing? The blog seems 'dead' to me. I have really, really been busy till i had no time to even do other things. But all this would be gone temporarily once i reach 29May, which is the day i would be having my second and last presentation for this term before my long-waited break. To add to the joy, i will be having 3 week break as i do not have common test during the first week of June.
Downside to break, it is that assignments still need to be completed as after the break, would be another round of project submissions. Soon after, it would be around end-July and early-August. By then, i would be doing project presentations, preparing and sitting for my exams. The doors of holidays again will be right before me again. That's life for me. I hope time can just fly and in no time, i would be enjoying the fruits of my hard labor. I want a life without any pain, stress. But i guess, it is still a few thousand lightyears away from me.
I need more enrichment to my life. If i could get very busy, then i would not have the time to look around me and give attention to small, little details. For me, training should begin very soon and that should have economic values.
My little wish for the september holiday: Fly to another country with grandma, if she could allow me. She's always been to places, all year-round and just how i envy her. But she deserves what she has now for working so hard earlier in her life.
That makes me think. See, life can be of a curve graph with it indicating the stress level (y-axis). The time would form the x-axis. When one is born, the stress graph is flat and moving forward, and then a child is about 7-8, that is when the stress builds up and this stress curve increases and slopes upwards steeply till the age of 50plus. That's when most would have 'upgraded' from parents to grandparents. So when one is a grandparent, he/she does nothing much but could be 1) travelling around the world, 2) looking after grandchildren.
So in conclusion, when you're like me - still studying - expect stress and live with it but manage it. Till one day, you achieve the title 'grand', it would be really a joy as life is easy.

Lately
Title: Lately
Lately, i have not been myself - mentally and biologically. Why is it so? Firstly, I predict that the next few weeks would be really, really tiring and mentally draining. With projects' deadlines less than a fortnight, i would need to be up and alert. Besides that, i have fallen illed. The monster came at the wrong time of the year. Now i am supposed to have a well functional body that gives me 100% working effort because of projects and now this has become a standing block. Just a few pieces of fried food and i am already surrendering to the monster. This merely underlines how dependent i am on anti-biotics. I am more or less, in a bad shape.

More Than That
Title: More Than That
Another story i have taken some days to create. As usual, enjoy it:
confined in this half-filled 400-man capacity room, he was already defeated by the monotonous teachings. The teachings of how businesses are carried out in a world where survival is to those who are the ruthless of all, are taught. On one side of the lecture, there was this information disseminator who was recently credited with the "Best Teaching Award" and had always commanded much respect among the students. In fact, the sheer raise of volume and any variation in her speaking tone meant a new, little twist of fate of her students. Whenever a student angered her or made her feel sick, she would get back at the student by chasing him/her out of the lecture. She was known for critising anyone whenever she felt like to. Each letter, word, phrase or sentence that she made in her lecture had enormous impact. Like a wizard or witch, she could easily make your life in school a little more 'interesting'. That explains why the other side of the lecture, in the form of the staircase shape, with a row of 40 seats on each level where the students sit, is always very attentive. This powerful figure was none other than Ms. Fan, herself. In short, she was a killer in the eyes of the students. She spared no one when it came to marking papers thus everyone was wary of her.
Nevertheless of how fearful she was seen or presented to be, Preza fell asleep. He did not imagine that a 50 year old would possess an eyesight of a young, alert being. Soon, she stopped her lecture.
She then said: "Those who think that they can pass my module sleeping in my lecture, banish the slightest thought of that. "
"Instead, i will fail you badly."
Preza, still in his dreamland, did not recover and hear the threat directed at him. His friends seated next to him tried waking him up by calling and shaking him. By the time, he woke up, all focus was on him.
"Let me see who is sleeping now." She walked up the stairs and at the same time, she pushed old gold-framed glasses slightly up.
"Oh it is our dear top student of the cohort, Mr Preza Han," said Ms. Fan.
"I guess you can prepare yourself an "AD" without an "A" grade ."
Preza had the history of topping the school for 4 consecutive semesters when he was in the school. But he was always cool and quiet in school. But whenever he did his presentation or when he was doing his work, one could easily see Preza was working in the mould of a genius. He led his team by example and morale would then inflate greatly. Normally, in lectures, Preza would listen attentively but not for this lecture. In the mind of all the students, even the most notorious who were easily gone under 'control', thought he was crazy.
Even in tutorials, Preza was also under the charge of Ms. Fan. He would eagerly answer all kinds of questions posted by her. What's more, they were perfect answers from the genius himself.
As time passed by, Ms. Fan had come to understand more of Preza and found him a defying student but she liked the way he posted his views. Preza had created a deep impression in her.
On one of the school days, after lecture, Preza approached and asked if she was free for a tea so that they could discuss some school work. She agreed and a date was set - 12 July. The dinner was to be at a cafe near the school.
Just a day before the date, he was filled with anxiety and lost his cool. At home, he would be up and down. At times, he mumbled words to himself and took many glances at the mirror . He was practically not himself.
Arrived at the venue, 15 minutes before the meeting time, he waited. Then when the time - 5pm - came, he was all up and alert. He tried looking at the entrance and continued waiting. Soon, 10 minutes had gone by. Then it was good-bye to 30 minutes. Preza got uptight and thought he had remembered the wrong time. So he decided to give her a call.
When the line was about to be got through, it hang. Ms. Fan appeared right before him.
"Oh boy, you are sure early."
"I actually had my meeting with some staff here, seated upstairs," explained Ms. Fan as she pointed to the second level where she could easily spot Preza.
"I have tested your patience and punctuality through my short observation, and i reckon you are the best man for the up-coming mega project"
Preza thanked her for her compliment as he got up and went ahead to pull a seat to allow her to be settled down. After they had completed the meal with susbstantial discussion done on the project, Preza tried to divert from any school topics as he moved towards his original purpose.
So he began his sentence for the new topic,"I... I kind of found you more than special, Ms. Fan." As he tried to form his sentences, emotions built and were soon to be run wild. Each fragmenting sentence he revealed to Ms. Fan why he had defied her in her lessons. The next and concluding sentence revealed all.
" I love you not as a lecturer but someone i would place close right in my heart"
Ms. Fan then reacted by saying Preza, "Are you aware of what you are saying?"
"Yeah, I'm truly aware and I am true to my words."
"Would you accept me again?"
The word "again" caught Ms. Fan stunned as she recounted. There was no other time before this she had accepted him as a lover.
"Mum, i have found you." So Preza had found his long-lost mum. But Ms. Fan was still in a daze and unclear. She was not to be blamed as some years ago after abandoning Preza and his father, she had a car accident where her memory was lost and she had then started life afresh.
"On 12 July, you've left dad and me because of some irreconcilable matter" It was adultery committed by Preza's father, Mr Han that made Ms. Fan left home. It was also on that very date she met the accident which Preza was not aware of.

worries
Title: worries
Putting on the usual earpieces, i set off for school as usual. Following next, i took the lift, then crossed the busy main road to the other side where the bus-stop i was to wait for my bus. I began my day - wednesday. When i was on bus, i reached my hand into the pocket where my MP3 handphone was situated. I took it and adjusted the volume according to my liking and i started reading on the tutorial notes for the lesson later. Then at 2plus in the afternoon, like always, i left school for tuition duty at Aaron's house. That's the normal routine for the past weeks since the school restarted.
To my realisation, I had spent almost 3 weeks in school. Yet, i felt as though that deadlines of work are nearing but no real moves have been made. What's more, there may still be more latent worries that are on my way.
Worries aside. I felt as though the monotonous school life is returning. I have got a long way to go from here. But i guess i will again travel at the speed of light where i myself would again be in a shock to deal with the reality. Perhaps even going out on weekends might not really lift me up from the dull mood that is setting down in the place where my heart sets its roots within me. Renewed, freshly-oxgenated blood from the heart can no longer brighten up the atmosphere.

Gained
Title: Gained
29 april 2007. the night i had gained alot in terms of age. I have been to Israel, Palestine, United States and China. All in one night, can you believe it? ( I doubt so).
Common sense would surely beat that question to a 'no'. I had a conversation with Uncle Thomas on topics revolving business. I had approached him with the aim of completing my most pressing matter- project. Originally i had consulted on the project i may be doing. Then we went on to talk about how business should work and of course, i tried learning from him and his views. Maybe i should have more of such session with experienced business men. Like what a business man told me, "there are two ways you can gain experience: one is you experience the things yourself and along the way you learn things the hard way. Second would be that you gain experience from others' experiences". Normally the second way is a faster way to gain experience. This was when my questions were answered. I think i just need to keep asking and i shall find the ultimate answer that i want. i guess i'll go on knocking doors of others and i shall be heard and thus answered.
But tonight was also my grandfather's birthday. This celebration was different as i did not play with my younger cousin which i often would do when we meet.
I, hereby wish my grandfather a happy birthday and a great year ahead for him
Happy Birthday, Ah Gong!
Although he may not get the message from here, cousins who are viewing this, if you could, do some kind work like any helpful soul would - spread the message to him.
Then in the afternoon, i was imitating him like to some of my cousins - Tammie and Aaron - and my brother, Kwan Boon, :“ 不是阿公要讲你， 你们也自动一点。 啊呀，讲了你们也是听不进去。 不要讲了。”
P.S.: For this part, do not let Ah Gong know. Thanks for your cooperation.

Saturday's
Title: Saturday's
I woke up at 7.30am in the morning. That's early, considered by any "ABC" or "blah" standard. Had thought that the day would start off meaningfully with me completing tutorials. I guess not even one was done. Instead at around 8.30am, i slept.
By the time i woke up (10am), i was preparing to leave for my tuition lesson. Wasted would be a suitable word befitting my situation. I guess i would just need to be efficient. After tuition, i met Ann, Guan Zhu and Michelle for badminton session.
Just before the 2pm session, i was caught in a situation. The very reactive but 'unwanted' juice was at work. Its full name was gastric juice. It held me back from playing and in the end, i had to go away for some quick bites.
I have not been playing badminton for some time. Rust had rubbed some of its effects on me. Anyway, even if i had regular plays, i guess my level of playing would still be at the rock-bottom and the 'rusty' feeling i might have only added little side-effects to my unnatural play.
Although my skills are not up to standards, my personal secrets against the threesome are revealed below:
Badminton Tactic: When tag teamed with Ann, allow her to play against Guan Zhu as she would (99% of the time) be able to hit back on his service and beat him to his game on a probability of 2/3. That could be a curse that Guan Zhu needs to break. To beat Michelle in the game, simply hit shuttlecock high over her but beware, Michelle might retaliate with some "sleepy" magic on you. This is due to she would be sleepy somehow during game and if you ever caught a glimpse of that, you might be hit on the spell. haha. Then for Ann, it was simple than any other tactics mentioned above. Create a joke or simply make her break out into laughters, she would surrender the game to you readily.
To be politically correct, it was a fun game. haha. I don't mean to say that it was really bad. It was a indeed a fun one truly.
At night, had seafood dinner. A pity that Ann wasn't able to make it and Guan Zhu was left out of the super-cheap feast because of his illness which he always claimed the source of that was me. Just can't escape from clutches of monster "illness", somehow although i have recovered fully. Conviction was needed from the seafood to Michelle as she claimed that the food there was not good. Anyway, at the end, she commented the food was not spicy enough. I thought her taste bud was 'spoilt' from young by extreme spicy food. After dinner, we had chatted like there was no tomorrow.
Guan Zhu asked me to join some youth organisation. Well, i don't have anything on in school except classes. It seems a good cause to join as there are other activities. I would like to be part of some event organising activity. Shall see how it goes.

Same Old Brand New "eyes"
Title: Same Old Brand New "eyes"
through a new pair of "eyes", i have seen the world like usual. Well this pair of "eyes" makes up of 2 black supporting flat rods, with a front view of pure white color and rectangular shape. Yeah, it is my new spec. But with this pair of new "eyes", the feeling differs. it gives off freshness and new level comfort. That's the differentiation it has for now. However, i have come to understand that the freshness may die out after some time. This is applied well in the concept of economic and business. First a relative new business of unprecedented idea will first experience a stage where there is no growth, then entering the second stage - the growth stage. This is when there is exponential growth and increase in market shares. The third stage is when the market matures and so everything cools down. The last stage - shake-out - will see business leaving the market. That's as good as expressing the freshness dying out. Comfort cherished now will be got used to and taken for granted.
That's human, i guess. Have i always been like that? Have you too? What is it that can really maintain its competitive advantage which nobody can ever leave it out? Is it an object of sentimental values or tangible?
To add to what i have in mind now, it is the complication that bothers me. Motivation needed now.
through a new pair of "eyes", i have seen the world like usual. Well this pair of "eyes" makes up of 2 black supporting flat rods, with a front view of pure white color and rectangular shape. Yeah, it is my new spec. But with this pair of new "eyes", the feeling differs. it gives off freshness and new level comfort. That's the differentiation it has for now. However, i have come to understand that the freshness may die out after some time. This is applied well in the concept of economic and business. First a relative new business of unprecedented idea will first experience a stage where there is no growth, then entering the second stage - the growth stage. This is when there is exponential growth and increase in market shares. The third stage is when the market matures and so everything cools down. The last stage - shake-out - will see business leaving the market. That's as good as expressing the freshness dying out. Comfort cherished now will be got used to and taken for granted.

Story of fantasy - Sire "G"
Title: Story of Fantansy - Sire "G"
A story based on my own fantasy is created. If you have any suggestions, do give me some. Do enjoy:
long ago, a tale was told of a old but mighty Lord - Sire "G" owned the universe. but his favourite planet was actually the blue-green Earth. the beautiful corals that can be found in the Ocean belonging to the Australia, the Mount Fuji that represents the Japanese land the Earth has it all. It was more than that the old spirit wanted. Sire "G" was an jealous ghost, that was shining like a dark blue flame. Wrapped around it was a just a piece of black cloth. He had a pair white gloves on to represent his hands. Everything about the Sire "G" was great but one attribute of him failed him big time. It was his height. He stood at only, 1. .... 68 metres. That's all. It was a pathetic height that he always complained that was not befitting the status of a evil lord he would say. His usual grouch was "this is so unfair.. The usual cartoon movie i saw was that i could see the King of the Dark empire was of at least some 1.8m and above."
He disliked the peace the humans enjoyed. So there were times, he created the wars and plenty of them just to inject some conflicts. to him, the sufferings were just nothing more than movies. he had a magic mirror. the mirror was made of crystal, ran from 700m in length and 500m in width, suspending in the air at the centre of the black and eriee cave that Sire "G" hibernated in. As the mirror was so big, he would need at least 400m away from it to watch it. So he would sit on his throne locating at an elevated height off the ground - approximately 100m high. He would then settle down on the throne and watch it at 45 degrees north away from the direction of his normal vision field.
Whenever he felt like watching a show or 2, he would snap and "boo", the crystal clear object would flash clear resolution of images on earth. He also had a habit of watching family argument. What's more, a couple of years back, the family drama was a hit. But not even an award winning and world acclaimed actor could win his heart. so with this in mind, he wanted to watch some REAL shows for himself.
"Pass the ball to me," shouted Jai. There it screened was a neighbourhood street soccer court. Like the usual soccer court, its four sides were bounded by fences with the stand or seats on one of the side. As Jai was playing with his friends in an intense match, there was no one at all at the stand. There it represented an opportunity to the Lord.
At the back of his head, he vividly remembered what this boy had actually done in the past years on Earth. But just to be sure that the deeds that the boy had committed, he summoned another spirit - the Ace Steal. With quick double snaps and a few words of chant, the spirit appeared right before him and on his knees, ready to receive the order.
Ace Steal was a spirit who knew the darkest art of stealing as its name suggested. In contrast, he was different from the Sire "G". He was handsome. He had a pair of crystal blue eyes, celebrity look and a figure that many would want. With fringes flowing down from the centre of his head towards his right face, he had his rest of hair neatly tied into a ponytail. He was gigantic. Standing at 2.5metres, he was sometimes scolded for nothing at times. The reason simply was Sire "G" would scream "your height is an eye sore to me while a candy eye to the girls that i like!"
So Ace Steal took out a manuel that looked like the chinese kungfu secret manuel. He read out:
"Jai, 14 is an unifilial son."
"He had frequent arguments with his mum, Joan. The latest one being and dated just an hour ago."
"I had punished him by stealing his favourite Jam shoes ( a popular sports brand) during the last Christmas which is only one week ago."
"He never mended his ways and continued blaming his mum for the loss of his possesion."
At once, Sire "G" commented, "Bad son, bad indeed." " I hereby decree you, the Ace Steal to steal the possesions including the PSP, K8001 and hundred bucks of that boy"
By now, Ace Steal knew what to do. He followed the order and vanished into the air. He appeared at the court. Although Ace Steal was BIG, he used his magic power to make himself invisible. Then in a while, when everyone was focused on the ball, he stole and went off.
After the soccer game, Jai was upset that he lost his belongings. This time around, the value of his belongings sums up to more than a thousand dollar. It was like his life was shattered. He got home and told his mum about the matter.
The mum did not nag at him nor did she scold him like she would do usually. Instead, she told him that to go for some praying as she thought that he was down in his luck. This time, Jai heeded advice whereas other times, he would reject her up right. Jai started to feel if he was right to have arguments with mum and labelled her advice as "wrong". From then on, both of them patched up and things went smooth for Jai.
Sire "G" left them alone as he thought Jai would leave home. The end-result sufferings that he wanted was foiled. He accidentally did a good deed again.
