Hi there!!! Just came back from India...I miss SINGAPORE & ALL my LOves Ones, MY FAmILY, FRIENDS N my instrument CLarinet...Oh ya..I also miss our local food! HAHA!!!

There are many things i want to say but i don't know where to start...[Hmmm?????].....

OK2 i've got it. so here goes.....

MY DESTINATION TO INDIA!!! (1st-10th SEPT)

FRIDAY IN THE MORNING...(1st september)
Woke up preety early to do last minute packing..[if u know me..this is a NEED as i am very blur]HAHA..can't afford to miss any important stuff..

~arrive a changi airport....
everyone was very busy saying their last goodbye..
(for me too...sniff sniff..missing them already)
~my second time in the flight....
lucky for me i was seated next to my trusted friends..Its good to have someone i'm comfortable with when im scared..(no joke i am scared in plane)
the feeling when i'm in the plane was indescribable...some tense,nervousness, happy,excited,sad...[to be specific..i don't really know...]

Overall, it was fun in the plane..i had a great time & guess what ....
...i could not sense any fear inside me...[three cheers 4 me[..haha..Oh ya ...some comment about air sahara..

~well..the service is okay...

but i think there are some biasness going on in between ...if u know what i mean..the attendents tend to be extra good to the indians n other adults...that's what i felt basically...hmm ..well..it is only an opinion...i think everyone is subjected to their own opinion..

FIRST STOP>>>DELHI

~first day in india was okay..we were all trying to adapt with the situations there..
one thing that is very obvious n really really different is the surroundings n the way people bring themselves..
here are some of the differences:

talk about the surroundings...

~u can see cows everywhere along the roads...[some are sitting in the middle of the road ,some are eating the grass along the road n many more] if u get what i meant, cows in india are very much free to move anywhere on its own..
~the cleanliness is not very similar in s'pore...u can see litters almost everywhere your eye look..well we can't expect much from them...
~believe it or not ..there are not many drainage system in india. no wonder there are always flood in india.. [to tell the truth, i fell pity for the children who need to force their way through the water, making their uniform wet]

talk about the people...

~ in india, u can see there are many beggers around.. n many of them are young children..it is very pitiful to see them..running around the roads asking for money...
~here is what disgust me the most...belive it if u are in india ,,there are many chances for u to see men peeing along the pavements wall...YUCKS..still trying to get that thing out of my mind...
well..no offence but i think there should be some manners in them..my suggestion is to built more toilet..for gods sake..spare those innocence poeple like me...
..haha..[no seriously,no joke]

~Alrite..back to me...
there are 6 group and we are divided to two bus ..my bus consist of grp 4,5,6...n our coach name is slyvester...[wati call him slyvester the naughty pussycat.] haha lol..
by the way, he is quite good but he likes to tell grandmother stories.. everything he say was sure very lenghty....in addition...he also likes to talk back to the teacher...somatimes, his attitude makes us don't like him... if were given a chance,i would prefer the other coach,sanjay.....
anyway the people in my bus was quite fun to hang around with...especially with ridzuan acting like a childish boy...hmm now i know the other side of him
...heheheh { evilish laugh}

Now ...the food in india...
basically the food is nice....we were serve with

Our Global City, Our Home

2006-08-21T04:14:00.000-07:00

The theme for this year national day is our global city,our home. A new year for Singapore and a great year to achieve for the best...

Hmmm... I always look around me and will always wonder,'Is this the country i am proud of?' Well, as all of u know (and the answer is very obvious)..Yes!. I'M proud to be a Singaporean.Obviously because i AM a Singaporean (well i can't deny that)but actually, the real fact is, Singapore is my homeland and it is where i belong.Furthermore, it has the 5C which i really adore...Colourful,Community,Calm water,City Life and Comfort of home(gee..i think u might heard this before..)Haha..But seriously..I really love living in Singapore. It 's peacefulness,security and everlasting greenery always ensure me that i am in a place called HOME...

Singapore has built up her status quite well over the years.Everywhere around us we can see tall well-built buildings and busy people with non-stop traffic. Nevertheless all this will not happen if there is no cooperation and togetherness between each other in Singapore.WEll.. all the credits should go to the people who help built Singapore a better place. Nonetheless all these people can be seen everywhere. They are the most likely the senior citizens and the new working generation. Well... I can't wait to do my part as a Singaporean by helping to built a greater Singapore!Ermm....I think i have said enought...well...back to my homework then...=p

Ps;Sorry for the late entery...

Bullying

2006-06-22T05:58:00.000-07:00

I never knew life would be so hard for me back in my primary school years. I always thought those years will be the most fun and interesting times in my life but it turn out to be the other way round.I have hated those years. The reason was that I had been bullied by the big boys in school almost everyday.

I was small and timid back then. I was humble and do not know what to do. Most of the times, my pocket money was taken away by the bully and so was my homework. Those were the torturing times that I will never forget in my life. I always get scolded for nothing. Soon I decided to put a stop to this misery of mine.

After I entered my secondary school life, I became a pernicious students. I was known as one of the most rebellious and the big bully in school. It felt great as everyone respected me. I have had my revenge. No student dared to go against me. For three years my life had been going on like this. Untill one day........

I did not know what had come over me.I had bullied a secondary one student till he was sent to the hospital. I was totally shocked. Later did I know that he had a broken leg. I never knew I would hurt a person so badly and made him disabled for his entire life. I then realised what I had done was because I wanted to take revenge for my childhood years.

No one deserves to be treated the way I was in the past. This incident had been the greatest regret in my life. Since then, I have changed. I am no longer the person I used to be.
