Hey everyone! It's been more than a week since I last updated because I've been really busy and stuff. So let me try to recall and sum everything up for the past week! Oh and by the way, Happy Chinese New Year to all! Wishing everyone a great year ahead!

On the 18th was the first day of Chinese New Year, so I went over to my relatives place to celebrate and did some "investing". Yeah! It was a good investment too! L0L! The next day was the same drill too!

On Tuesday, I finally managed to get some much needed rest at home after being out late for the entire past week.

As for Wednesday, I went to dinner with Alex, Gavin, Ezekiel, Amin, Jeremiah, Farhanah, Leonard, Kelvin, Halim, Weixuan and TERRY! L0L! Gavin was leaving for Germany the next day, so it was sort of a goodbye dinner for him? Yup! He went to the Swensens in Park Hotel, which is in Orchard. It was a nice way to say goodbye actually up till the end of dinner. L0L! After that, we were all deciding where to go and we ended up at Cineleisure. Farhanah left first. When we were at Cineleisure, we started thinking of what to do next, but we couldn't think of anything to do. Kelvin, being the rude and insensible person that he already is decided to just walk off, so EVS to him then. So much for friendship eh? I'll touch on that later. Halim stayed to play in the arcade, the people in the East went back home. The West people: Alex, Gavin, Jeremiah, Weixuan and I went to Clementi to eat prata! L0L! We also watched FengYun2 on Channel 8 till the end and Jeremiah was telling us about how all Chinese fighting shows are the same when they fly up and kick each other. L0L! We managed to catch the last train back home except for Alex who didn't even manage to catch the last bus. L0L! I'm trying in every way possible to at least catch the last train back home everytime I'm out because I do not wish to take the cab anytime soon ever since my January financial report. L0L!

Alright, so I went got home it was already Thursday. L0L! The day Gavin, Qing Xiang and Nigel would be flying off to Germany. Therefore I started planning on where to meet first and stuff. By the way, fyi to all, I suck at planning! L0L! I seriously dislike planning because I just do stuff the way it approaches me. Anyhow, I had to wake up early to meet fei ge! He woke me up at 12.45pm and I was still not awake. He told me to meet him at Raffles Place at 1.30pm, but I reached only at 2.15pm. After meeting him, he asked me to go over to his place, so I went. Woah! First time go his house seh, so I went to take a tour of his house. His house is nice, but I think mine's better! =X However, his room is freaking neat and tidy compared to mine. Then, there's the drum set and obviously I started making some noise. "OEI" was heard next. L0L! I watched him play and sing Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day on the guitar and it was really good! Then, we played Sweet Child 'O' Mine by Guns 'N' Roses on the drums, which was damn noisy. He actually had to teach his students at 6pm, but the first student cancelled it, so he postponed the other one too, so he could stay home to rest. We played Winning Eleven and Fifa Street on his Xbox, but the Fifa Street kept hanging and I'm still certain the problem isn't my disc! Then, his mum came back about 5pm plus? SCAREDED OK!!! L0L! Actually not that bad la, I'm just SHY? Yeah, I am. His mum was kind of curious because she never heard of me before and it was the first time she met me! Excited right aunty? =X Then, I sort of kena interrogation by her like "So you studying?", "at where?", "oh you're Joachim's junior?" etc. She left after awhile, so I asked fei ge if I should leave, but he told me he wasn't sure if she's coming back. Next, we heard the door and fei ge was like "GO!GO!" L0L! It was about 6pm, so I decided to leave in order not to cause further inconvenience. FYI: I'm not really good with parents because I usually give them the wrong impression solely based on appearance! I was meeting my friends only at 7pm at Bugis, so I was still very early. I called Alex and told him to meet me earlier and we actually reached Bugis at 6.45pm, so it wasn't that early actually. Farhanah, Jeremiah and Joanne came soon and we took our dinner before searching for gifts for Gavin and Qing Xiang. We bought their gifts and rushed to the airport to meet Amin and Leonard too. We were discussing on the train about plans for the next day. We met everyone soon enough then we went to find Gavin and Qing Xiang. took photos! gavin's dad treated us drinks at jollibean! gave them the gifts! waves! more waves! bid farewell! waves more! Before we knew it, they checked in and we won't be seeing them for another 6 months! So do take care and enjoy yourselves too in Germany! ^^

We took the MRT back and once again when I got home, it was already the next day. Friday already! OMG! Time really flies fast eh? Fei ge told me to meet again today at 1pm at Bugis. I was excited because hat-trick already in a month, which is RARE! I watched Prison Break and Heroes before trying to go to bed. Somehow, I just couldn't get to sleep, there were lots to think of and yeah, I basically stared at my ceiling the whole night till the next morning when I got up early to get ready to meet fei ge so I won't be late. I took a bathe and styled my hair already before I saw my phone. He said he wasn't meeting me already and I was like ~!@#$%^&* at that time. HANNAR! F**king frustrated can! Then on msn talk to him then like arguing like that then I went ~!@#$%^&* again! K fine, then I didn't want to talk already, so I went to watch LOST and Survivor Fiji before gettin prepared to leave the house. Fortunately, this time I wasn't played out by my friends. I met Alex and Jeremiah at Bukit Gombak before proceeding to Toa Payoh to meet Farhanah and Joanne. The journey was LONG and I fell asleep... ZzzZ... We reached Toa Payoh and bought some food before going to Farhanah's house. I had a great time and I forgot all about the earlier incident. We ate dinner! played cards! played guitar! ate ice-cream! talk! etc. Yeah, too many things to say actually. L0L! The best part was that she lent me her Classical guitar home!!! Thanks! Oh and her father is nice too! Ahaha funny la uncle! =X

I reached home again on the next day, which was actually yesteday! Zzz... Yeah, you bet I was sleepy by then. However, the guitar is really like a drug if you have the passion and drive to learn. I was addicted to it and I didn't want to put it down. It's really like drugs man and whenever I practice on it, I feel like all my problems are gone and everything's alright and I'm worry-FREE! I felt so much better after practicing and practicing! I slept at 4am and woke up just before 11am just to practice playing the guitar! Woah! I'm really an addict already! Then, I decided to pack my room after seeing fei ge's room and it looks so much neater and pleasant right now. Yay! I can invite my friends over soon already! I spent about 3 hours just packing and tidying my room. I found a whole lot of stuff while packing my room too! There were a whole load of letters, both good and bad ones! Love letters! Etc. I kept those that were by people who I still do keep in contact with. I found a bible and I think it's about time I tell fei ge my decision, but I'm still waiting to tell him I suppose? Communication Breakdown ah! We don't have anything much in common actually. That day at his house, we also didn't talk much and everytime outside when I do talk to him, sometimes it feels like I'm talking to the wall also. So... EVS man! L0L! After that, I went out with my parents over to my uncle's place till about 10pm plus. When I reached home, it was all guitar again.

As for today, I just reached home not too long ago! Yeah, I went to lunch with my family and relatives at a nearby restaurant in the country club. Anyway, I have plans to start exercising tomorrow in school! Yeah! I'm finally going to start my exercise routine from tomorrow onwards! I still want to go do some swimming too! Anyone interested in joining me? L0L! Ok, I think I'm more or less done summing up the week right? L0L! Bored already? =X

"Friendship" ? Is it just a word? What do you think? I think it is. I believe that it is what you make of it that counts. It isn't about how close you both are or the things you have in common. All of that doesn't matter at all, but more importantly, it is about the 2 parties involved. To put it simply, if both have the intention to be friends, they can turn out to be the best of friends even if they have nothing in common. However, if the intention isn't there in the first place, then you can forget about having any friendship. All of you would most slightly be thinking why am I suddenly talking about this? Let me tell you guys why then. I saw this letter while tidying up my room and went I saw it, I crushed it immediately and got rid of it. Yeah, it still does hurt till now even when I read it, so I finally decide to forget. Basically, the letter was about me and how I've changed and became someone I might not necessarily be before. It was from a once best friend of mine. In the letter, the whole point of it was actually "we shouldn't be friends anymore" indirectly written. I believe that Friendship works both ways and you cant just let one party handle it because it doesn't work that way. People do change, for the better or even for the worse, but that's life. I won't end a friendship just because my friend has changed unless he/she did something terribly wrong, which FYI: I DID NOT! Up till now, I still thinking of my friendship with you and whenever I think of it, I feel that it's nothing but a joke! Did you use me just to get what you want every single time? I've always been giving in till it makes me goddamn sick of it and when I realise that perhaps I should stop giving in that much, you telling me that I've changed? Bah! So it basically means you want everything your way? Dude, friendship doesn't freaking work that way damnit! Both parties should know how to GIVE and TAKE. All I've been doing is GIVING and GIVING even more. As for you, all you actually cared about was TAKING and TAKING even more! So tell me now, what kind of a friendship is that? I treated you like a brother damnit and you took advantage of me all those times. Yeah, I was a fool not to realise it till now. If you do read this, which is highly unlikely, I would like to say this to you: "The "Friendship" (if that's what you called it) between us was FUCKING bullshit and the only thing I regret was getting to know you." Also, I honestly don't give a fuck about what you think about me anymore because I won't ever help you again. Like they say, so much for Friendship. I realised that after that incident, I suffered a lot because I kept thinking "What did I do wrong?". Well, I'm not going to suffer anymore because the FACT is that I didn't do anything WRONG and you didn't do anything RIGHT either. After that incident, I became more and more detracted as days go by. I began thinking that Friendship was nothing but bullshit. I felt that I need to put a strong front and be bold everytime I meet someone new. I was sick of Friendship because it will just go down the drain just like that. I was suffering from Depression la in other words. Well, I'm glad to say NOT anymore! =] I realise that making friends and maintaining a friendship with the right person is important after yet another incident (paisei la that one, dun wanna talk bout it here! =X). It isn't the end of the world when you lose someone you treated like your own brother. I think more importantly is what I learnt from it. My life now is awesome and I'm loving almost every single moment of it. I have many wonderful friends and I'm so blessed to meet some of the best people on Earth too! *ahem* *ahem* Don't tell you who *ahem* *ahem* =X I received this same email yesterday by a friend and I remembered receving it once after that friendship fallout. There's this statement in there that means a whole lot to me. The difference between now and then is that I believe in it now. "Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful". Amen! =]

"A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart."

"Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened."

"There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around."

"Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you."

"WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON."

FYI: These 5 statements were extracted from the same email and there are still more, but these are the ones that I can really relate to. That's all from me for now. I hope with that last paragraph, people will be able to understand me more and realise that my life all that smooth as everyone might think. I tend to keep things to myself because I dislike making my problems anyone else's problems. In other words, I don't want to be a burden to anyone especially those that I'm really close with. So next time if you guys really want me to share, sit down with me over a cup of coffee and ask! I prefer sharing this kind of stuff when there are no distractions too. Take care everyone and I'll blog soon again! =]
