1st engagement, officially!

Off I go, for the 1st engagement in my career! Wonderful experience, only to be greeted by the fact that its... ...

in Tuas.


LOL!! How wonderful. Had been whining to whoever I can about the location, but i'm actually quite happy that it have me started on a job! =)

Ok, I don't know if I'm allowed to share more info about my job here so I'll just stop at this.

Anyways...

My favourite class rep who never fail to show his strong sense of responsibility,
a caring friend who doesn't show through his words but actions since 5 years ago,
the ever demanding yet capable boss for our long-winded IAP final year project,
who coincidentally is the platoon best and qualified to be an officer in the army... ..

collided into a pole in the middle of CBD with a loud thud and... "ARGH!! #$%^&*() ".

er..

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Siri, write me a blog post." oh well, you cannot.

My 1st ever iPhone. Decided to just go along with the crowd and see what is so good behind this much discussed entertainment hardware. Online reviews and friends' comments aren't enough, you know you can listen to all different opinions until you try it yourself! =)

The Siri is the catch from this revised iPhone 4. In actual fact, the only thing which is worth the difference from the iPhone 4 is the Camera hardware. They put in an extra lens to enhance the quality of the photograph taken. The rest seems indifferent.

"Siri, why are you named Siri"

I am what I am.

"Why is the name Siri"

I can't answer that. But I could search the web for it, if you like.

"Who named you Siri"

I was named by Apple in California.

"Why are you named Siri"

I just am, Melvin.

Lol, as stubbon as I am, this new toy just would not give in despite my persistent effort!

Beside that, this has been a rather load-relieving week. Was able to make confessions to Brian that helped in clearing the air and getting clearer picture of what seemed complicated over the years.

See! communication makes every thing fine isn't it. So don't keep everything to yourself !

Hehe... I'm glad I have yet another great liberation of my life in this unexpected weekend/week.
There is just this great contentment and satisfaction in untangling knots!

All this courage comes from...
Long story short, I just love and feel loved. =)

"那些年,我們一起追的女孩"

Watched this show on Saturday night, but the emotions and memory created by this movie still lingers within me.

Somehow, it made me crawl back to the past, with films of secondary school days rolling past me. The undeniably fun and carefree moments, shared and given to me by my ever innocent and positively naïve friends and buddies, make these montage so memorable it can never be erased no matter how bad my Alzheimer might become in the future; It has become a significant part of my childhood, my youth!

Unfortunately, pegged with the permanent reminiscent is the many regrets that stained the perfect story, like the earmarks on a diary. Not only it foils the book, it leads you to that page before you read the other stories.

Coincidentally, the movie tells a story where the 2 lead actor and actress were so sweet and suitable for each other in their younger days as if only a spartan group can extend their distance; The female lead didn't end up marrying the man.

I can totally understand how it feels like to have your scribbled drafts erased. You can pencil it down how many times you want, it remains erasable. It would have drawn a different conclusion if a pen was used instead.

My apologies for being carried away. Had a dream this morning and woke up with mixed feelings that disturbed me the whole train trip. I'm so thankful that Jia Juan is here to show me the light of this tunnel. I cannot be more fortunate because she was so much a better paper and I'm glad I have chosen the right pen.
The scribbles have left those sink-marks and it stays in the paper. Nonetheless, I will continue to the next page, and it will definitely be written more beautifully. =)

Finally, I'm touched by the movie's scriptwriter in-depth description and ability to portray a student's life so close to ours', so close to mine.
