I went back to e office today. A feeling tt i still remember clearly. The familiar 'ding' from the lift. And the familiar passageway leading to where I spent a year. The familiar faces that greeted me. Touched beyond words. So much help. All on my last time in that place. As I walked from the MRT to the office, I realized sth that everyone knows- The world continues moving no matter what.

Fast forward one year. I am filled with emotions. A tinge of nostalgia as I put these thoughts into words. "When GOD closes a door, HE will open a window for you next." I thank all for the opportunities I have been given, hopefully the window will be a big one. One year may seem a long time, but relli, it was jus a flash, a blink of an eye as I look back.

In life, we can't always have it smooth-sailing. 3 weeks of ordeal and counting. We tend to take everything around us for granted. Simple things like walking. I have been walking for as long as I can remember, maybe even before that. However, this particular misfortune has caused me to slow and reflect. Stop and think of the things that really matter. Amidst the rat race that is still going on, I

I dun think i will ever forget that fateful day. The feeling of being wheeled into the OT not knowing what to expect next. The pain of those needles. And of course the op itself. Even now, 2 weeks on, the pain still exists.I m abt to show a rather disgusting pic. Ready?Sure?Here goes... Imagine your knee being cut up and then sewn back. Yucks. 一切(不)完美.

Exercise (gotta work those unutilised muscles) always leave mi drained at the end of the day. Sometimes, we live in our world of comfort that we take everything and everyone for granted.

At the crossroads, i swept the dust off my battle-weary body and counted the wounds. Still good I thought. At times, we just seek closure at certain points in our lives. Thank god the sanity's still intact. Haven't been myself for a long time. Alas, what a fool I've been. Perhaps its time to rejoice and to search for the real Kelvin.

The journey itself was an interesting one, with sights not seen in Singapore or most developed cities. Even though I slept throughout the car ride, I still feel tired.

Where the soul gets jaded by the day,somehow i've to keep the demons at bayThe survival of the fittest they call it,Lose your grip and goodbye you bid. I smile at the world and make merry,Eating, laughing and living joyously. Behind the mask that hides the true self,only when darkness fall do I leave my shell.

First up, dinner treat by dad for the paternal side on Sunday.This is jus the tip of the iceberg. The table wasn't big enough to put the remaining food.Met Dear's cousins for lunch on Mon. Oh man, they are naughty! Especially the boy. Reminded me alittle of my childhood but I guess I wasn't as naughty.

Yesterday was a day we spent exploring places we have never been to. Okay, I've been to this food centre before actually. First up, I brought Dear to try the rather famous Adam Road Nasi Lemak. Really thumbs up!名副其实! I have to say that its nicer than those at Changi V but at a higher cost. Perhaps rental here is more expensive?Next, we went to Villa Bali.

Certain people in school jus make me mad. Without mentioning names, I get pissed off when pple tell me they do not know how to do certain things and expect me, with little or no knowledge of a company to continue their work. I HATE CLEARING UP AFTER PEOPLE POO! When you claim that u do not know how to start your report after staring at the computer for 3 hours seriously speaks volume of your

As i mug for the neverending quizzes that i have come to expect this semester, i yearn for a good game of soccer. A good run in the sun to run off the lethargy. A good workout to wake those sleeping muscles up. And of course, a good laugh along with the people you call brothers.These pics were actually taken long time back. Check out the smiles and the of course the bodies. Not mine, i have

Yes...i think i can officially countdown the number of days left of my final semester. This semester has been passing very fast. With the number of quizzes and presentations that we are having, its little wonder that time seems to fly since i keep hoping that the shit will be over. And so another quiz, 206 this time came and went. Only one lesson on friday. This was what M and i did to keep

This was what happened on friday. After class, jr, j and i went to people's park. There was a humongous jam at suntec area. Ok this sounds like i m writing a story but i only realised much later that it was because there was an IT fair being held. Looks like i have to leave e car at home in e future.But on another note, check out e technology at this carpark.what you r looking at is actu a view

And so, hell week came and went. One 306 quiz. One 304 presentation. One 306 presentation. What a week! Am feeling alittle drained out. Here's 2 pics for you guys to laugh your guts out.HAHAHA!! Funny right?

Yes, the sign looks broken i know but...it really isn't as bad and the place isn't as broken down as how the sign looks. I like the place here, one of those few places in Sg where people still push trolleys (and by this i dun mean NTUC etc) to go around with their wares. It was really crowded, far more people than i expected for such an 'old' place (so old that even the sign is partially broken)

U know, such is the way blogs are linked to one another is that i can no longer confide my deepest thoughts here because i do not wish to offend anyone. I am not happy with certain things. I am sure you won't know who u r and i've no wish to ask for your explanation. Perhaps this is in your character, your blood that you might think there's nothing wrong with it but i think there's sth f**king

And so right after chinese new yr came the much awaited recess! i tot it would be a good break to recharge my batteries, only to realise there's so much to do. 2 projects and 1 quiz straight after the break. Wow...what a good way to spend the recess isn't it?Today is the 3rd day of the recess. AND i've been out everyday doing project. Luckily i like my group mates, both 304 and 306.Yesterday was

The two days of the Lunar New Yr has flown by quickly. Here's some pics to recap the two days. Day 1: Whole day at my paternal granny's place. That was the only place we went the whole day. But...but...WE PLAYED MAHJONG !! haha...managed to satisfy my craving for the gambling in particular mahjong. However, i was up against 2 aunties and a cousin and they were playing much bigger than i normally

Wednesday 14th Feb was a memorable day. It was...ermm..Vday..But it was also my first quiz this semester. Initially after the paper i felt confident. But i realized i made 2 errors, 1 of them a stupid mistake so that sort of dampened my mood now. Heck la, it was Vday. So off we went to VivoCity for lunch and a movie. It was never going to be a major celebration, just some quality time spent

First up, gorgeous swedish meetballs and yummy, juicy succulent chicken wings from IKEAwhen i went with J,jr and D to buy my new tablelamp. There you have it... Had the impulse to snap this picture while yours truly was typing this. Guess the stress from 304 is making me cranky. While selecting the purchase, jr and i had a debate on which lamp is the best bargain. We bought the same one in e end.

There's sort of a campaign going around school with people wearing white tees. These white tees are interesting with witty lines regarding A***T. Wow. They even have a website set up for this. Hopefully the people in the plush chair sit up and take note of the overworked and underpaid unsung heroes behind every financial statement that gets issued. With the impending increment, fingers crossed

U can't really see the queue from this pic but there was a rather long queue to enter the place.When u see such long queues for dinner, will u still continue to queue? Well, my family and i did.A normal Saturday. My bro wanted to eat steak. So i suggested Aston's. I haven tried the steak there so it was going to my maiden try.In the end when the food came (some 45mins after we joined the queue),

Its as if i needn't go to school or go through the endless SSAs or FRSs. It was last friday. I ended school at 630pm. Went off to Mind Cafe @ Clarke Quay for games w J,JR and S. Good old fun talking cock and playing games. Especially like the 'Telephath' and 'Taboo'. Too bad we had to end early. Could have continued long into the night with the wkend just arriving.Wednesday.

After class on tue, me, d, j and jr trooped off to another place around Singapore. Western food. That was going to be the order of the day. There are actually plenty of places in Singapore with nice and cheap food. This certainly beats the likes of those high-end restaurants anytime in terms of value for money. Sch work is already so busy. Its such a waste if we do not pamper ourselves with such

WARNING!! This following post is not for the faint hearted. Not for the weary nor the hungry.Looking at the pic, shiok rite?The author does not mean any offence to anyone in this post: At a time where most people in Singapore were preparing to go to bed or were already in bed, wj and i trooped off to the red-light district of our sunny island. Or so we thought! The place was filled with people!
