High School Musical

I just watched High School 3: Senior Year. I know its kinda slow but I still watched it. And i enjoyed every bit of it. Call me childish, silly or what-have-you, but some how it appealed to me. Probably beacuse it feels so perfect, all too good to be true. How good would it be to be living in such a place at East High. Dancing and singing and doing what they want, will there even be one education system that allows for that. Hmm...

There is much more to add from the movie. But let us ponder on "what extend will one go to fulfill our dreams?"

Photography

I bought myself a Nikon D90. Somehow, it took me quite sometime to scout for it. Apparently, there was some delay in the delivery of the camera. Eventually, I got it from Alan Photo Trading in funan mall.

In my "quest" for the camera, I visited courts in Tampiness Mall. When I inquired about the sale of Nikon D90, the salesperson replied "no stock". The answer was simple, so would the response be. I walked out almost as quickly as he said it, afterall there was no need for me to linger aound. Almost as quickly as I headed for the exit, he added, "why don't want to get a canon?" There was quite an awkward pause. I went like "I came to inquire about nikon and I was being quite specific. What's with canon and courts? Sheesh."

Anyways, back to me! The first stop for my camera was my family chalet. I took quite a few pictures. You can admire them below. =)

So sorry folks. However much I want to share with you the photos i have taken, its too much of a hassle to upload them. It will take forever. That's because I do not own Photoshop. Be patient, and you will get to see more eventually. What's better, I would be taking much better photos by then too.

Till then.

FINALLY

It has been a really long time since the last post. Finally, i am able to sit down and write something on this empty space. Time flies and i am already in my 5th week into my new course. However unwilling i am to be here, i have already completed almost one third of the entire course. Going back to camp every sunday night never seem so difficult before.

There is no much time which i am able to spend to write a long reflection in "perfect" english, but anything goes in desperate times.

Army is getting the better of me.

Well, there you have it. At least i published something. =)

IN 5 YEARS TIME...

In 5 years time, i will be 24 years old.
In 5 years time, i will be pursuing my undergraduate studies.
In 5 years time.....

Many things will change in 5 years time. That is something no one will be able to predict. However, what we want our lives to be like in 5 years time, is something we can work towards.

I don't actually what prompted me to write this post; it may be its the lifestyle in the army, where i have to stay in camp from monday to saturday. Possibily its the lessening of control over my own personal time.

In the army, we meet with all sorts of people, people you least expect to be sleeping with (on seperate bed, of course) . In BMT, there are lots of platoon mates who really know what they want in life. In SISPEC, my bunk mates are less fortunate in that some have not secured a seat in universities. Nonetheless, our future will come no matter how hard we hope for it to pass. Time is one that will never stop.

In BMT, i see airplanes landing and taking off from Changi Airport. Then i dream about travelling to various countries. In BMT, i meet with bunkmates who can draw, dance; who can connect with people with ease. Then i look at myself, what can i do. In SISPEC, i meet with people who have no problem with their fitness. Then i look at my ippt result. The list can go on. This is not a whining session. I am trying to put across that what you want your life to be like in years to time depends on the amount of effort now.

If 5 years is too long, we scale it down to 2 years. I could have spend my last 2 years in JC doing some physical conditioning, so i can easily get a gold for ippt now. I know i can play the violin and even dance, but how good? The gap between an average artist and a good artist is gargantuan. I spent the last 2 years putting in half-hearted effort in my languages, now i am lagging in language efficiency of my peers. With all the mechanisation and emphasis on speed, it is becoming second nature to many people that everything will fall into place when the time comes. There is only a need to put in minimal effort, sometimes even none. Time to stop and think about the future.

Think, " in 5 years time......"

Prologue

Prologue as quoted from dictionary.com is "an introduction or introductory chapter, as to a novel."

It took me a long time to finally muster the strength to start writing my blog. I have the least idea how long this enthusiam will last. Nonetheless, after the few months wearing green, i felt compelled to do something about my life. I guess it started with this.
