You Are The Apple Of My Eye (那些年 我們一起追的女孩)

You Are The Apple Of My Eye (那些年 我們一起追的女孩)



Since last week, my good friend Andy had wanted to watch this movie. And finally Albert, Xueling, Andy and I went to watch it last night.

I must say its absolutely worth while watching- 100% must see show. The impact is the realism of the whole movie. Somehow there is an instant rapport that transport you back to the schooling days. Where you wear uniform, play ball, collect cards(for me is those Idol cards, Tamiya Car magnets), pontang class, boy girl relationship, competitions, exam fever... I get to think about the girls that I had liked over the years. The fruitful and the fruitless relationships...

As I mentioned. The real impact of this movie is in the realism. It ended in a happy ever after but not in the fairy tale way. And I can almost sigh "That Is Life!" at the end of the movie. Many times we are overly concern of how things were ended. But we have forgotten its the journey that matters the most and not the destination. As in every ending is also another beginning. The bliss of able to let go when its time to let go...

Yesterday was gone and tomorrow is yet to come. Every breathing moment counts Today. Cherish and savor The sweet, The sour, The bitter and The spice of life... Its the Every parts makes it whole and makes it so real. Carpe diem - sieze the day!

The "6/2" Gathering... 18 Aug 2011


Yesterday, we had a long overdue class reunion...
Two decades had passed by knowingly unknowingly.

Its like doing your spring cleaning one fine day and found at the corner of the storehouse - a dusty photo album. Brushing and blowing the dust off from the cover. A musty aroma and nostalgic feeling washes over your senses as you turn from page after page of yellowed photographs. Those were the good ole days when you were not as burdened with life. The days of innocent carefree.

Childhood friends coming together after so many years. We have all grown up and some even with kids running about. However different we had become, seeing each other the first time after so many years. For some reason, we somehow still can recognize that shadow of the kid that we used to play and joust and study together. The connection is instantaneous. All the memories started to flood back... Surprisingly, some of us can still recall each others class numbers, birthdays, who sat beside who etc.

We were all determined to find back the lost sheeps as not all can be found or make it to this gathering. :)

Friends can be friends forever indeed. Going forward, hopefully we will keep this spark on-going and not wait for another 20 years anniversary shall we? (We do not have much "twenty-years" left) haha

What's the Song that picks you UP when you feel down?

Motivational Song? What's yours?

That was the question that was shoot across the room by my associate Zaid over a meeting on monday. His song is the "Three Little Birds".



And he said,"A show of hands, who has a song that picks you up? Would you share with the floor please..."
-silence- No one.

I think to myself, wow. How come I don't have a song too? Over 32 years of existence there is no song to inspire? Where have I been living? In a mountain with no radio, no television and no internet?

So here I decided to go to youtube and search for a song that can inspire me through the day... "Fireworks"- Katy Perry.



Do share your song that motivates you with me... thanks

Thank God it was Friday...

Been a long while since I watch movie with Ming Chuan and Xue ling...
Good Friday indeed a good time for catching up.

We met up for movie at Tampines Mall and with Andy as well.

The four of us enjoyed the movie pretty much. Over the dinner at Ding Tai Feng.
Min Chuan broke us the good news that they have finally decided to tie the knot.

Have known Min Chuan since my good Ole Chung Cheng daze. We were in the NPCC.
Great are the memories when we were marching up and down and around Chung Cheng lake.
And the fun we had shooting hoops.

Friends are for life indeed. Now I get to share his joy of getting married. :)

After dinner we proceeded to Cafe Cartel for desert... :p
