HUMAN
In my life, the hundreds of people I met.
Be it the kindhearted souls, or the evil beasts.
They've helped me in many ways.
It's like a gym room with many body-building machines,
Which gradually make you stronger, thus building up your confidence.
These people whom I've met,
Tough training they've conducted for me,
As though I'm preparing for the Olympics.
It's like a mental and emotional warfare,
Where one's reaction(s) determines the winner.
A big thank you to these people,
Though some had caused unhappiness to me.
A little kind act or mean and petty things they did,
They helped me level up in my character attributes.
Here I am, becoming tougher everyday.
My future friends and acquaintance-to-be,
My training hasn't ended; it's ongoing.
Give me chance to develop myself pals and understand me.
Hopefully, no more tough training regiments;
Encouragement instead.
Man is like a double-edged sword,
Helpful, yet harmful too.
If only Man could utilise their intelligence for a greater cause,
And forget about petty matters,
We'll be living in Heaven.
A New World will be created,
By our own race - Human

This Saturday was the busiest day of my week... Many things packed in a day and it's not easy to pass. But nevertheless I managed to enjoy myself throughout.
Early in the morning, i went to wash my face as you know, it's getting more oily. Pimples and blackheads start to grow... no choice lah... Being metrosexual is not a bad thing to be embarrassed about...haha. It's just that appearance is very important nowadays in the working world, isn't it? hmmm..no choice. I spent $98 on washing my face alone... Oh my... I'm only surviving on $400 a month... AH!!!
After that, I went to meet my cousin Godwin to have a short meet up as we need to catch up after so long... He told me about his army life and as usual, it's the life that many don't like. Although i did not go thru that kind of life, but i think i can vaguely understand the pain... I can't help but to feel helpless. Just to wish him goodluck and support him throughout his BMT phase.
In the Evening, I went to meet NSSC colleagues to watch Isaac's Play.... IT's really GREAT!! oh my god... isaac long's performance was really beyond what i had expected man... every part of the drama was so real. When i first stepped into the hall of the Singapore Arts Museum, i had a very eerie feeling as the the setting of the drama plot was created very well thanks to the professional performers... the hall was lighted with incandescant lightbulbs, thus giving us a real-life feeling as though we are in a chapel of the ancient Greece. hmmm... when the drama started, the plot seems confusing initially. as the show progressed, i started to be able to grasp the storyline. The actors and actresses were emotional and gave their all. Nothing was held back making this show excellent. the story becomes exciting as it progresses, we audience too felt tense and anticipating what will happen next...
On a lighter note, the main actress had a muscus on her face as she cried.HAHA!! that was the classic joke of the day man...
After that, we went to a hawker centre next to Le Meridien Hotel to have our dinner. Ordered afew dishes and we shared. At that time, everyone was tensed as we wanted to catch the last train. Espescially Sunny as he's the only one who stays in tampines.HAHA! Delicious food. But a little too steep though. Enjoyed it briefly and we left to chiong for the mrt. haha...
When i reached home, i still had another meetin online with the5lines comm members. oh my that was at 12.40am already.... tiring man....argh....too bad.. for the sake of the5lines, i have to sacrifice my sleep for to help our music grp improve tremendously. haha.
Finally, NITES... End of my busy SATURDAY...
Update on sunday soon... I got Selected to play CELLO 3 FOr WILLIAM TELL OVERTURE!!! WOOO!!1

Today was considered an exciting day. Not because I had to report to camp, but it's because of the LIFE activity! I played Tennis today! haha! Another reason for joy is that I had the chance to use my new PRINCE O3 SPEEDPORT PRO WHITE finally after buying from the owner.
The tennis game although casual, but it was really intensive! havent had an intensive game for a long time... missed those days where i have tennis training every sunday morning. haha... we rallied in the freaking hot sun and each of us tried to play our best by hitting great shots hoping to score a winner. haha... After todays game, i'm really looking forward to play again the next wed when minghao is back from china! haha... that would be great.... The most important reason to be happy this wed is because i have an off day tomorrow as i wil be having my BTT... hopefully i pass... hehe
However despite wednesday being an exciting day, there will also be reason to be annoyed... I'm sick of what i'm doing now as i feel that doing all those work is really wasting my time. I feel tempted to go to MDC... the audition is next month last week... i want to go there because i want to improve my cello and thats the best place for me.... also i want to increase my exposure to songs and performances. this will help me in the future as well as the5lines. however i donot want to leave the friends who i've met and know since january... have known each other for 6 mths and i really cant bare to leave this friendship tooo... this is a really difficult decision to make.... haizz.. can anyone advise????

Welcome!!! Finally my blog is back to life!...
Time flies... its already JULY... and unknowingly, I have just completed 1/4 of my
National Service... Going to be a PTE soon!! haha
I know that is a damn low rank... but for a clerk like me, getting promoted means
my ROD date is nearer... haha...
Life is considered quite smooth-sailing compared to the other guys... Hearing ppl going thru all the tough trainings, i feel that i should treasure what i am going thru in the office as a learning experience...
It's true that there are many cases of office politics and i often complaint about them... It can be very annoying at times to experience them... but at least i get to go home everyday after work... and not stay in-camp like the others.
Although i did not go thru those tough trainings, i hope that these office politics can also make me a better and stronger person emotionally and in terms of my interpersonal relationship to help me in the near future... =)
TO all NS friends, Persevere on and overcome these Trainings in ur NS life... a process to make u into a better person...
Kenneth =)
