For You =)

For The Longest Time - Billy Joel

Whoa oh oh oh
For the longest time
Whoa oh oh
For the longest...

If you said good-bye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do?
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put you're arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

Whoa oh oh oh
For the longest time
Whoa oh oh
For the longest time

I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on?
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself - "Hold onto your heart"
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Whoa oh oh oh
For the longest time
Whoa oh oh
For the longest time
Whoa oh oh
For the longest time (Repeat and fade)

A Great Gift!

One of the best Christmas present(s) I've gotten so far. =) One for each of the 12 days of Christmas!




Thank you so much!

Camp Overdose... And Loving It!

So after 4 NUS camps in a row, I must say, I totally enjoyed myself to the MAX! It was a crazy month of almost non-stop action! Not to mention the TONS of great pals I've made throughout those days.

Camp Blue Blood (Kent Ridge Hall Exposure Camp) 4 - 5 June

A short 2 day camp yet it was jam-packed with tons of fun as well as happening people the moment I stepped into the hall! It was also the virgin experience of staying in hall. Gak vs Guy ratio, 3:1

Highlights

• Group Name - Harald
• Meeting Ting Kuang, long lost secondary schoolmate. He was our group councillor!
• "Capture" was a really happening game! Imagine Block Catching + Treasure Hunting with tons of twists!
• War Games were super fun too!
• Nice memento given to us by our group councillors. Very thoughtful of them! Love it!

Fantasheares (Sheares Hall Exposure Camp) 11 - 14 June

Another action-packed camp! A little more laid back 'cause it was 4 days but definitely no lack of fun & excitement! It is also the hall which I will be moving into. Soon to be a Shearite! Can't wait to move into hall! Gak vs Guy ratio, 3:1

Highlights

• Group Name - Ali Baba
• Limitless energy from the councillors! What do they run on?! Shoutout to Gilyn, Haojie, Dina, Qingjun & Rodney!
• A great group! Somehow we just seemed to click really well. And now we are one bunch of pretty close buggers!
• Late Night Confessions!
• Being Jack Sparrow! Rehearsals were so much more hilarious than the actual!
• The mess created from War Games was just unimaginable. Can't wait for the photos!
• SP was done really well, especially SP revelation!

Emerga Camp (School of Computing Orientation Camp) 25 - 28 June

A probably need-to-go camp 'cause we have to get to know our schoolmates right? The camp wasn't as crazy as the other camps but still met some really nice people! Gak to Guy ratio, 1:3

Highlights

• Group Name - Group 2 aka Casya The Archers
• A really fantastic group that clicked really well. You guys are a great bunch!
• A very memorable late night that can probably never be talked about outside the group! Hehe...
• So-called brother! Lol!

NUS Sports Camp (Sports Club) 2 - 7 July

This is the camp I rate probably the 1st, 'cause it had the most crazy, most daring, and most happening action going on than any other camp! 6 days 5 nights man! No joke! Big kudos to the MOMOs for organizing such a great camp! Gak to Guy ratio, 1:1. I will probably do a dedicated post on this camp once I get the main photos!

Highlights

• Group Name - Capone, House - Sopranos
• A group mixed with all kinds of people, yet somehow we managed to work so well together and won BEST OG! Go Capone!
• All the sports we tried! Motocross, Cableski, Windsurfing, Archery, Air Rifle, The Cage (Street Soccer), Dragonboating, Martial Arts, just to name a few.
• All the fun stuff we tried! DHL Balloon, Banana Boat, Snow City, also just to name a few.
• Amazing Race with Night Cycling. 2 days 1 Night. 3 hours of sleep. Through all that it was still really fun, especially with my group! Something I will NEVER forget!
• Hardly even sleeping more than 4 hours every night.
• The forfeits are crazy. Pi Pa Kao! Wah Kao!
• Fright Night was not bad. They must have taken a lot of work to prepare it but definitely hoped it would have been more scary.
• Pyjama Party! Can't believe the 1st runner-up pair man! Mad! Lol!
• Gave me the darkest tan I've probably ever had. And I lost 2kg! Ha!

So now that camps are all over, I just look forward to my last day at work (REALLY CAN'T WAIT) and moving into Sheares Hall! A beginning in another phase in my life! Life is going great for me now and can't see what awaits me ahead!

Pavarotti

I've been super busy lately with SYYC 07 and had 2 NUS camps (with 2 more to go). Thus resulting in me looking like a different race, a killer sorethroat and losing almost all my voice.

I'll update more on the camps once I'm done with all of them but I just have to post up this video. If you aren't already part of the over 1 million Youtube viewers of the video, here it is.

Anberlin & Copeland & Reed!

Anberlin & Copeland together in the same concert in SINGAPORE? Almost too hard to believe! Still totally worth the "At-the-door price"!

Quite a turnout!

Company for the night, Cheng & Hans!

Please visit their MySpace here! Anberlin & Copeland

On another note, I gleefully served as a tour guide recently to Reed from San Francisco! Being yoyo players, it is so easy to be linked to other players all over the world. Comes as a great advantage for travellers like Reed and myself!

Anyway I believe Reed was 4 months into his half-year trip all over Asia, covering Laos, Malaysia etc. and after Singapore, headed for Philippines for another 3 weeks. (SO ENVIOUS! ARGH!)

Had a full day of Sentosa, Geylang Durians, Oyster Omelette, Beef Hor Fun, Frog porridge and shopping for cameras. Tiring but couldn't have had more fun! Looking for the day he returns the favour when I'm in San Fran!

Reed & Me

TimBuk2 Band!

If you haven't already heard of Timbuk2, you HAVE to visit their site. Probably one of the best investments I made. Thank goodness I've had it for a while though, prices have been going up.

Caine, Me & Colin. All Customized colours. All with matching Tshirt colours. All matching benches. All coincidental.

So what are you waiting for?! Get a Timbuk2 now! Forget those at 77th Street & iShop! Get CUSTOMIZED colours! Visit Timbuk2.com!

Chinese New Year Gathering My Old Friends!

Maybe using "old" friends might be exaggerating but it definitely has been a long time since I've seen some of these pals of mine!

Reminiscent of a very memorable gathering back in 2003!

So here we are 4 years later at the same place for the same reason; but yet we have changed so much!

Food's served!

And some just found "Constantine" too alluring to miss.

What's CNY without gambling?

One for the memories!
