Was browsing Guitar Tutee when I saw this song. Realised that I’ve never watched the video to the song even though I’ve heard it countless of times on radio.

Sad video, but a very very nice one indeed. I have tears in my eyes now.

Or if you would just like to listen:

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do

Okay, got back from Genting about an hour ago so here I am.
Definitely no one missing me coz my tag board is still the same as I’d left

So what have I done the past 3 days at my trip? I’ll blog about it in 3 parts - one for each day. Wayy too many things going on that I think I can finish writing in one shot, in one entry.

I’d learnt so much as well! Definitely a lot about human’s behaviour and observed and derived on my own theories to why some people behave a certain way, etc. Very interesting. Also, I picked up some terms used by many people from different cultural background.

Of course, the very obviously bad behaviour from a certain few nationalities were also spotted. Quite sad.

I had loads of fun too of course. This being my first trip to Genting Highlands and the theme park rides were pretty awesome. =) I am amazed at my guts to go on the log flume myself when I was once even scared to go on the one in Escape Theme park. But of course, I was still quite chicken to go on the bigger roller coasters and those that will flip you 360 degrees. =x Nah. Haha actually I wasn’t feeling too well too. Had a slight headache and had fever on my first day there. But I kinda pushed the fever thoughts aside and just enjoyed myself screaming at the smaller coasters.

Shall blog about my trip tomorrow! Arm kinda hurts from the arcade basketball. 84 points solo for a girl like me who haven’t done that in ages :P!! Haha ok I know to many there’s nothing to be proud of

L to R: Kelvin, Daryl, Melvin, Faizal, Mr Quek, Summer, Me, Olive and Ai Nee

Taken last Friday. =)

Farewell lunch for Olive and I. =)

Oh and boss gave us a Titus watch each. Same design just that mine’s blue and Olive’s pink.

Just a random mynah

FINALLY got to meet Huzz after 2 weeks. =)

Went to his place on Friday night and met his sister, bro-in-law and Tong Tong there. LOL. Tong Tong’s so cute!!! Haha she grabbed my finger a few times and they let me carry her. Haha. But for like 30secs and she started kicking. But she’s so cute! Haha.

Huzz got the infamous “Tekong Cough”.

Watched You Don’t Mess With the Zohan on Saturday. I give it 3 stars. Basically a movie to watch if you want to relax a bit.

We went to East Coast Park after that. Took the bus from the wrong bus stop though so had to walk quite a bit. =x I’m guilty about it coz I should have checked before going. >.<

Anyway, missed the last bus home so walked hurriedly back home.
Along the way this taxi stopped and thinking that the taxi driver’s going to ask if I wanted to take his cab (some taxi drivers do that), I ignored the driver and walked on.
When I got home, my sis told me that my dad called and asked why I ignored him when he stopped his cab. -_-” Oops. =x

Found out that Hansel is in the same Company and Platoon as Huzz. haha!

Went to Pasir Ris just now coz Huzz had to book in today. Saw Hansel and Anthony. There were loads of girls asking them to do survey. -_-” One of the girls told us that they earned 50cents for each survey. -_-” Hansel was joking that maybe the girls should give their number before he do the survey for them. Lol

Then saw Marcus from school who’s in the same Company as Huzz as well. I wonder if they sent all the NYP people to the same company? =x Haha.

I’ll be at Genting from Tues to Thurs so won’t be online! Will take loads of pics. It’s my first trip to Genting!

7 days

Prior to joining Elveslab, I’ve had some web programming background from my secondary school days when I was bored and felt that doing websites were cool (it’s still cool). I’d also got my own domain and hence meddled with some control panels and FTP settings.

So when Olive asked if I wanted to join Elveslab as a web/software developer, I immediately said yes without hesitation since I was looking for a job before university anyway.
(Xiaowei and Scott after that told me that Olive had actually asked if they knew of anyone who’s looking for a job and they both recommended me. =) Thanks guys!)

(Even though there was a point in time when I regretted agreeing to work 4 days after my final exams at NYP coz I didn’t really have a break in between and didn’t spend time with Huzz before his NS. All these doubts were eventually solved, though I still think I haven’t spent enough time with Huzz)

This job has it’s ups and downs, especially for me who’s new to this industry. Doing websites/HTML coding during your leisure time vs work is totally different.

I learnt a lot about picking up phones, dealing with customers and being on the other side of customer support. It’s pretty funny to understand why customer support people always treat us like… total noobs. I finally know why. =x

Patience is also very important. I learnt that from previous colleague Alan (I was hired because he left to further his studies).

This is my first proper 9-6 job. So I would say I learnt a lot. =)

I want to thank my boss Mr Quek for agreeing to hire me even though he knew that I was going to uni. Honestly, he’s like the best boss one can have. But bosses are bosses. Haha.

It was definitely great working with Ai nee, Olive and Faizal. Learnt so much from them. Especially from Ai Nee! My Photoshop skills have definitely leveled up because of her. =) Thanks so much!!

The new interns, Melvin & Daryl are a joy as well (let’s not talk about the previous 2 interns lol) and Kelvin even though I don’t know him for long, it was fun to teach people stuff. Lol.

Lastly would like to thank the people dearest to my heart - my family & Huzaen. Thanks for being understanding and supportive when I had to work and everything. I love you all! <3

When I first saw this, I went -_-” then I realised that there was some truth in it.

Moral of the story, sometimes fights are just a small problem of life.

Haven’t been writing in here lately.
Been sleeping early too. After 10.30pm, I just don’t really want to do anything. Then I’ll like do my prayers (last thing I do everyday) and then go to bed. It’s a good thing in a way actually - my dark eye circles are lightening and my skin condition’s much better - but I start wondering whether I would want to sleep early if I go out late during the weekends. Hope not. =)

It’s also been confirmed that my last day of work is this Friday. I honestly can’t wait for Friday as it’ll not only be my last day of work (break - here I come!), but I’ll also be able to see Huzz after 2 weeks! Weekends will be fun!

I honestly am going to plan my schedule out for the tasks that I need to complete for the next month before school starts. Else I’m going to whack myself when August comes and nothing is done.

I think, sometimes people don’t really see the truth in what is going on and would rather see lies?

I’d slept 7 hours as usual yesterday alright? Please don’t say that I’d slept 4 hours or whatnot as you weren’t even awake when I made the coffee.

——————————————————

I look back at when I first met the 2008 band graduands, and I just think about how a new group of people are now graduating from secondary school yet again. Time flies so fast.

Everytime I go for a graduation, I think it serves as a reminder to me that being in secondary school was a way of learning how to grow up properly. There are just so many people that I’ve known when they first joined and graduate who turned out to be less complicated than they had first started out.

Which is seriously cool and it justs affirms my view that whatever labels you’ve tagged on someone back in secondary school should be removed as everyone grows and improves.

Every year, Mr Lim (Band director) would organise this camp known as Tetra Camp for all the bands under his charge. Not sure why this year Tetra wasn’t organised but a Band POP (Passing Out Parade).

I’d wanted to help, but my schedule doesn’t allow me to have another day off yesterday (for the run-throughs etc) so I didn’t help out. So I went there to watch instead.

I always feel that graduations and funerals are 2 things that a really good friend/relative must-not-miss when you get the chance to go. I know they are kinda different, but both are just as important if you know what I mean.

Don’t really want to bore you with the details so I shall summarise the interesting/fun bits of the day:
- “Spongebob Squarepants!!” Haha (watch the video below)
- The chat with Shuan Yong about school work and about my xin shang ren and about his xin shang ren. Hahaha!!
- Yun Han’s excellent job in the parade!!
- Me playing Diner Dash on Wee Peng’s PSP Slim. Lol. I played from her first restaurant till the third restaurant.
- The performance by HS that sent shivers down me because as a band, they have improved so well now.
- Sherwin said that he was shocked to see me at Ubi yesterday. Haha I got no idea why.
- Me noticing the change in a lot of people. I really mean a lot. Not only in the students but alumni as well.
- Me realising that a lot of the people I made friends with 2 years ago at Camp Tetra 2 years ago don’t come back anymore.
- Me realising that people don’t remember you performing 2 years ago at Camp Tetra but wants to know why you didn’t perform for this year’s performance =x (In conclusion to this sentence, don’t worry if you screwed things up now, coz 2 years later people won’t even remember if you did it or not unless the consequence is something that will make people remember lah).
- In graduation ceremonies, more juniors cry as compared to the graduating seniors.

Congratulations to the batch that have graduated!!
Shuan Yong, Yun Han, Dickson, Samuel, Sherwin, Daniel Tan, Julie, Elijah and Shao Ming!

Look Shamin’s waving to the cam! Haha. Actually he was trying to block his face with his hand

Joel. Who also wants to learn the cello

Have a little Faith!

Don’t you think FTPSS motto is kinda like something you would say when you drink? (no offense!)

After everything

—————————
On a side note, just read Olive’s blog and I think it’s super sweet how her friend proposed to his gf!! haha.

To seeing Huzz and leaving my job.

So many things to do this weekend and all these starts tomorrow so I started the preparation for Sunday’s meeting today.

Anyone knows of any printing company that prints event tickets/invitation that are rather reliable and/or cheap? Do comment! Thanks!

Things to do are:
- HS Alumni Dinner preparation
- Help Aunt
- HS Alumni Website
- HS Band alumni blog

If I don’t complete these 4 tasks before uni starts, I would be disappointed with myself.

One more week left!! My friends says I’m becoming weird because my bf is not around. I think he’s true; I am becoming more like a hermit crab that doesn’t want to go out of my home. Very true.

Band POP tomorrow so I’ve got to go sleep now! Got to wake up early. =( There goes my sleep.

Ps: Why doesn’t anyone remember “Always Be My Baby” back when Mariah Carey first sang it?
Everytime I ask around no one seems to remember.
