Saturday...

tonite was a reali fun nite...
first, many of us from my household went to my consulting professor's place for a bbq dinner gathering...the food was great! reali nice!

had a lot of fun there, and thereafter, i organized a trip to KTV!! woohoo! so it was my first ktv session in US and boy, i felt like i had to make up for all the lost ktv time in the last few mths....nevertheless, i still didn't get to sing enuff and i tink i will be back soon...

after that, i organized another chit chat cum drinking session at my fren's place....was originally at my place but we changed venue for some reason.....and i'm onli back now at 4+am cos of some problems....
well aniwaiz, i had quite abit to drink tonite....a few cups of champagne during dinner and a few bottles of beers later at nite....i'm so gonna put on weight...

aniwaiz, fotos tmr....it was a fun nite....


************************************************************************************
amidst the fun, i had some quiet moments too....
i'm not too sure why....but when i sang some songs, the songs which i used to sing, and when i sang them rather sentimentally tonite, it kinda touched some of my chords....
i dono if u mean, but it kinda made me miss some ppl and some things alot again....
and well, i juz felt kinda sentimental too.....

i haven't had the chance to refocus....but seriously, i tink i noe where i shld be heading towards in general oredi....at least in my attitude and mindset-wise....
i don reali care how other ppl think abt wat i am doing and so on....
recently, i'm even more so confident in my own principles in life, in my personal belief in how life shld be....
Changsheng, Zhiwei and I have alwaiz wanted to portray an impression that is not that of an electrical engineer...well, so far i tink we hav all done a pretty good job....we want ppl not to tink of us as an another EE guy or nerd, but as ppl who r fun-loving and who noe how to enjoy life, but at the same time, excel in wat we r studying and doing....

which ties in closely with the way i've alwaiz believed how life shld be led and wat i've alwaiz been preaching to frens....that is,
Be serious when doing work, but when playing, be even crazier and have all the fun in the world!
so far so good....cos some ppl who hav thot that i'm merely a joker and fun person to hang out with have been surprised that i am doing quite well (at least in academic pursuits), and in fact, my results r better than most ppl here.....
not that that matters alot to me cos academic success is but one of the factors which are impt to me in my life, but it has reflected back to me that i am following the route that i've alwaiz believed in and set for myself.....i am having so much fun (u wun believe how fun it is), but at the same time, i'm not underachieving, and in fact, i tink i'm overachieveing for my own standards....

at the end of the day, there is no dispute as to wat are the most impt things in my life.....no amount of money, success, fame or temptations can take over the position of my Family and frens....the top 2 priorities in my life in the same order....
Recently, I was chatting with a good fren here and dispensed some advice to her....
ohh well, i simply shared wat i thot....and i said that being happy is the most impt thg to me....
after all, we r going to be in this world for some decades....y not be happy and make the most of each dae?
by being happy, there r so many benefits to ourselves....
and family shld alwaiz be the top priority....for me at least, it has alwaiz been and will alwaiz be.....
frens are another integral part of my life and i wan to see my close frens succeed as much as i wan to see myself do too....
i remember saying this before.....
"Crossing the finishing line alone is good, but if one brings along other frens to cross it together, it is even more successful and meaningful"....
sth along that line....
and so, i sincerely wish that all my frens and i will do as well as we can....

hmmm....well, i'm still a human being and while i can proudly say that i'm happy 95% of the time and have never lost my temper in many years.....
i still do lapse into brief unhappy moods from time to time....
at least i recover pretty fast though....

in essence, i still live the same old adage i've believed in.....Family and Frens and Happiness are the most impt!
Onli when those are fundamentally strong can I be able to build the path to success....
I am seeking to achieve all dat now....

As for the refocus on my responsibilities here....that will be a task for tmr or ASAP....

miss u all from Singapore as usual....
Out of sight is not necessarily out of mind.....many of u r constantly on my mind.....

Family is alwaiz my top priority...
nuttin can ever replace that...
