i think i'm weak
still remember sec 4
when my immunity system totally broke down.
mc for 2 wks.
goin back to school for 3 days
fallin sick again.
and it goes on and on and on.
it has happened again..
3 ulcers on my throat now
n i've totally no energy to even type this..
arh. time to sleep.
You can make a difference, every single day
You can make a difference, with everything you say
i think today's de first time i ate ice cream alone.
the kinda feeling u get from doing so is funny..
i mean.. usually when i eat ice cream i would like eat with someone else or sth...
eating ice cream seem to be a group activity or sth..
haven eaten since breakfast at 9am. this is madness.
i think i have starved till i dont even haf ani feeling anymore.
came home wanting to eat. but just lost my appetite.
slept at 8pm. thinking that i can sleep thru de night. but woke up at 10. feeling all shitty.
sth's wrong wiv my passport. haf to fix it before i go genting.
ya. sudden bout of hunger pangs.
went downstairs to eat two pineapple tarts.
its close to 2am.
so much on my mind.
so much to do.
so much i dont want to do.
so much i want to say.
i realised something...
my entries since last month till now have been so random.
i can talk abt dogs in one sentence, den i'll talk about cats, den elephants, den tigers.
if i analyse this using my literary skills..
i would say i'm a jumbled up confused person
full of messed up thoughts.
......
yup. gonna try to sleep now.
its 330am and i'm still awake...
sudden bout of enthusiasm n drive
i did the cheography of gotta be ur man for de front 4, 8 counts.
seriously hope we can do that instead of walking and posing
hoping luc and jon and me can coordinate it tmr and den show fion on wed or sth
de rest of de dance can be left to her!
been recording acapella for de past 2 hrs.
did a rough draft of felis navida (however its spelt) and de beginning of white christmas..
will let de rest of de guys frm MVE hear it later in abt urm... 4 hours..
damn.
i'm goin to be so tired at work tmr..
urghx..
haven been updating. been so busy lately.... tired, burnt out..
just as i thought my slipped disc has sort of healed after i went to MDC..
all of a sudden it hurts more than ever..
could be de dance that music clinic has made us done..
or maybe coz i've started jogging..
but pain has become unbearable that i haf to take painkillers before i go out..
if this persists..
sigh... i cant imagine..
to love a person so much as to overlook youself
that everything about you has become insignificant and the person you love is all that matters.
things to do in de following week:
start exercising and be more energetic.
start writing songs again.
start feeling enthusiastic both at work and at home.
you packed your suitcases and left.
you took everything that belonged to you away.
i'm not happy. realli am not.

performance at suntec convention hall and heeren HMV just ended..
2 days of feelin like a star... free hairdos, make up, etc...
ferried around in buses....

and de rest of de contestants.. michelle, garrison, UFM deejays, all of you have made singing and performing so fun...
Purity once had a name,
And beauty once had a face.
Life once had a meaning,
And once I was safe.
Once there was freedom,
And once I could laugh.
Happiness once was alive,
And once I had another half.
Once I shared her love,
Once I was by her side,
Once I felt she was my everything,
Without her i thought i wld die.
Her grace so great,
Her beauty so vast,
All I ever wanted,
Was for this to last.
Fate maybe had another plan,
Or maybe we lost our minds,
But it all fell apart,
a deep wound cut by a knife.
Now it's all but over,
Happiness, joy, love; all memories.
Now I walk alone in this dark, dark world,
With no light to guide my way
Once i thought i had everythingNow, i'm nothing, but a wandering guy.
the raindrops trickle down my face
the bikes and cars speed quickly past me
the peaceful houses.
the dim street lights.
in a distance, i hear a couple quarrelin in the rain
i see a child in a raincoat
running for shelter in the bus stp.
the flashing lightning
and howling wind.
everyone
and everything flashes past me.
and in an instance,
i feel .
emptiness. in the rain.
where are you
when i need you.
still suffering frm fever...
doesnt seem to be recovering. 2 trips to de doctor alreadi.
------
may consider goin for a minor op for my back..
coz its starting to hurt again..
-----
gonna try to memorize MDC's version of Yesterday..

been trying to get the right feel and diction wiv de grp todae..
------
this flu has been disrupting my schedule so much.
so mani things undone.
..
sigh..
gonna go get more rest now.
recuperate.
caught a pretty bad cold while walkin under de rain on 2 consecutive days...
its de rainy season..
n it doesnt help that i don like to bring umbrellas out..
woke up several times last night wiv a horribly blocked nose.
and a fever.
lets hope de throat doesnt get sore later
------

Author: John Khoo

yeaa... :D
sleepless night.
Author: John Khoo
spent de night counting de number of cobwebs on my ceiling yesterday.
not a single wink.
woke up at 5. went jogging.
came back at 6. bought breakfast. had breakfast.
contemplated goin swimming..
dint even go for my driving theory.
by de time i get my license it would probably be december nxt yr or sth..
at de rate i'm going. mebbe i wun even get my license.
while jogging, i thought of many things.
the kind of person i was last time
and how i am now.
realised a drastic change.
i was so purposeful in de past. i knew wat i wanted. i knew where i wanted to go, what i wanted to do, etc.
now?
i'm directionless.
i don't know what to do. what i want. where to go. what dis road i'm taking would bring me to.
yes. i got de bachelor of arts scholarship from NIE. but now, i'm not even sure if i want to teach animore.
mebbe i'm better off goin overseas to study music or sth.
or mebbe i shld just go get my diploma in piano and become a private piano teacher.
or maybe. i shld just go open a restaurant.
set up a business?
drive a taxi?
hah.
ppl haf dreams.
i had mine.
but when u lose the driving force behind ur dreams, like i think i have,
nothing looks right for you.
i need sleep.
competitions' in 6 hours.
wake up.
remember.
Author: John Khoo
why am i making myself miserable.
why am i at home when i can be having fun outside?
why am i crying at my own stupidity?
why do i feel so helpless?
u noe why?
ya.
coz i'm john.
and i feel like a loser.
all i want to do now is.
drink. drown my frustrations.
all i want now. is for u to be by my side.
but wait.
i dont want tt coz u shld be studyin..
even if u shld be takin a break now, not goin back to sleep n rest would mean u would be too tired to study tomorrow.
all i want now.
is for me to tell myself i dont care anymore..
yes. i'm tired
maybe i dont want to care anymore.
its just not worth it.
spoiling my mood. spoiling urs . just bcoz i care.
so yes.
i'm goin to change.
i'm not goin to care.
and i know i can make this change.
meanwhile.
i'll just shout my frustrations into my pillow.
punch de wall
starve to death.
u know the saddest thing abt dis entire thing?
caring is spoiling de entire r'ship.
bcoz i care, dis is happening.
n bcoz u dont seem to care that i care.
i feel like a freakin dumb asshole who cant stop nagging.
u noe wad?
do as u please.
i'm not ur mother. not ur personal nanny, not ur father.
ur future. does not. affect me.
----------
streetboys r competing tmr...
i foresee lots of fun...
whether or not we get thru realli depends..
but it doesnt matter to me..
i've got to know jon n luc better over these few mths..
n i'm doin sth i enjoy doin.. performin on stage.
----------
i'll do anything
Author: John Khooi'll do anything just for u to get promoted.
i'm not fine.
Author: John Khoo
he's so nice to u.
i'm not.
--
been feelin horrible lately.
no mood at all
no appetite.
in de dumps..
sang wiv streetboyz todae.
tried my best.
but still..
i cant seem to seperate my life frm my work.
if i'm sad. i'm sad.
if i'm troubled. i'm troubled.
but ya.
saturday's de competition. i'm goin to put my best foot forward.
doesnt make sense
Author: John Khoo
u noe something's wrong when...
someone else treats u better than i do..
if he is more thoughtful than i am...
n when u find urself...
being miserable bcuz of the guy u love...
---
he gave her chicken of essence.
i did nothing.
he cheered her up.
i caused her to lose her mood in studying.
he smses her to encourage her
i onli sms her and irritates her.
---
yet
i am hers.
n he's not.
it just doesnt make sense.
maybe u deserve sum1 better.
sick. but still awake.
Author: John Khoo
i look at the photos on my computer
n i unknowingly find myself smiling..
u are. my angel.
Author: John Khoo
dis entry has nothing to do with my entry title.
sick now. down wiv fever. if it persists, suspected dengue, blood test.
wrong time to be sick
competition's on saturday.
i'm goin to just continue singing for de nxt few days.
dont realli care even if i die. hahx.
to die singing is a privilege.
---
why didnt God give human beings wings?
why didnt he give me wings?
to let me fly out of my shell. to search for my inner self. the real me.
---
lying in bed with a running fever makes me think.
crying when i dont have the energy to cry feels good.
its almost as though ur soul is released frm ur body.
coz u're so weak. u cry. u feel weaker. u cry. u feel like u dont even belong to de real world animore. u just feel like u're floating.
---
i broke a promise todae.
i broke a pledge.
i deserve to be sentenced.
n yes, i've alreadi got my sentence.
misery. is all i feel..
---
my temper..
Author: John Khoo
realised lately dat dere's a lot to my character that needs improvement.
de manner in which i handle certain things, r'ships, frenships...
my bad temper. my stubborn and resolute stands.
my unreasonable attitude...
i'm sure i can channel all these negatives to de correct channels...
-------------
talked to jon abt music... abt talents n stuffs..
we had a very honest and enriching conversation...
lots of positives to draw frm dat...
------------
my grp is in de semis of party world....
grand prize is $12000... ah.. haha, but i'm not goin to think of de prize first =p
its de fun of performing on stage primarily...
de prize is just a secondary thing..
aniwae, we'll be in de competition nxt saturday.... partyworld at shenton way.
ppl can go watch... so if i haf frens who wanna go support, do sms me or gif mi a call or sth =)
-------------
well...meanwhile, i'll just go reflect on myself....

Author: John Khoo
wat i need now:
someone to turn my frowns upside down.
misery.
Author: John Khoo
i feel miserable.
n i don't know why.
i've lost interest in life.
i've lost all forms of motivation.
i feel like i'm someone who's awaiting death to arrive.
haf u ever felt this way?
felt as though nothing in the world is going ur way..
n that everyone and everything was against u..
n that no one cared..
no one loves u..
haf u ever felt as though
the world has stopped revolving around u...
n all of a sudden, loads of external frustrations and problems seem to engulf u..
i feel this way now.
n there's no one i can turn to.
urgh

random thoughts
Author: John Khoo
Vocal ensemble's gonna do Wo men de gu shi acapella version..
arh. felt like doing the melody for dat song... cuz that song is so special to me....
finding it hard to sing when i'm in mdc sumhow. i donno wads wrong...
everyone knows me as a performer. sum1 who entertains
but sumhow i slip into dis quiet, insignificant, soft-spoken singer when i'm in mdc.
singing has always been my dream.
yet i feel as though i'm finding it super hard to express ani creativity..
singing has suddenly become so technical..
no more fun. so mechanic.
mebbe i'm wrong. mebbe i'm just not used to it yet...
-------------------------------
just watched jj lin jun jie on tv.
he totally rocks.
talented.
talented.
more talented.
i wanna learn how to beatbox~ :)

lets just hope i'll be able to learn de songs in time..

darn, i do miss altitude... michael, ryan, eugene, detong... we may not be de best vocal group.. but we r so close knitted... so comfortable wiv each other...
still, i'm gonna try to adapt to de vocal ensemble guys... Lucas, David, Jonathan and Kenny... had quite a gd laugh wiv dem todae...

-----------------
so many questions i wanna ask
so many answers, left unsaid

a shield and layers of protection.
i'm sick of peeling them
one by one...
chorus:
dont play with my heart
dont phunk with my feelings
you left me out here. in the cold
its never too late
to take back those words you said
but no..
you don't care at all..
bridge:
over and over again
u give me a complicated puzzle
over and over again
its enough...
chorus:
dont play with my heart
dont phunk with my feelings
don't leave me out here, in the cold
maybe its too late
to take back those words u said
but girl

to that person out there:
A few yrs back, u tried to kiss me. to put it in a more straightforward manner, you forced yourself on me.
I pushed u away. bcoz i was attached. n bcoz i treated u as a fren n wasnt attracted to u in that sense.
Little did i know that all these while, u've been spreading false accounts abt me taking advantage of u in a cinema
Three points to note:
1) I never brought u to a cinema
2) I never liked you.
3) I treated u as a fren, n i would never take advantage of sum1 like that
I regret to inform you that that
1) In order to protect your ego, or whatsoever, you have indirectly caused great damage to my reputation. By telling false stories to my then girlfriends, you have also broke the trust they ever had in me.
I chose not to tell anyone about this initially because i treated u as a fren and i wanted to protect ur reputation.
However, spreading false rumours abt me touching you in a cinema is a despicable act.
I, would never resort to such inhuman acts.
As a result, I have become an unwilling victim. I never realised that people who didnt know me in person had that impression that i'm such a downright disgusting person.
I may be a failure in dealing wiv r'ships, i may haf hurt mani ppl in de process. But, i would never be such a horny bastard..
Please look into the mirror first.
Before spreading rumours that are an insult to my character, and person on a whole.
In a more direct manner, 1) there's nothing for mi to take advantage of you of. 2) if i were to ever take advantage of someone, i would choose someone of higher standards.
This has made me realised.
That rumours can change ppl's impression on others.
Over these yrs, i never realised that people haf been hearing such stories about me.
whatever, screw it.
screw you
to think that all these yrs i still talked to u as a fren. never knowing u were backstabbing me wiv stories like this.

when a guy loves you.
Author: John Khoo
The guy who loves you can't tell you the reason why he loves you, he only knows that in his eyes, you are the only one for him. and that he cant love anyone else but you.
The guy who loves you would seldom praise you , but in his heart, you are the best. n he is just shy to let u know.
The guy who loves you would never scold you if you don't reply his messages. he just gets sad. wakes up in de middle of de night n looks at his phone while half asleep. n sub-consciously tears.
The guy who loves you cries when he sees you after not seeing you for a long time. he cries bcoz he's happy to see you. at de same time, he cries when he's abt to leave bcoz he knows he is not goin to see u in de near future.
The guy who loves you , will remember every word u say. and when the going gets tough, he finds strength in ur words. even when u're not by his side n he's troubled, just thinking of de words u once said to him would get him thru.
The guy who loves you will not promise to love you forever because they don't want to break the promise. he wants you to believe him that he would give you the happiest and safest life ever after, whether or not you're with him.
The guy who loves you always tells you not to think too much bcoz he knows that whatever obstacles you have to overcome, he would definitely be there for you.
The guy who loves you would go to every performance with you in it. He would go there with flowers not bcoz he wants you to be happy. but bcoz he wants you to know that u're the sweetest and most graceful angel in his heart.
The guy who loves you would appear at your voiddeck with flowers at 3am after quarreling. He's still angry with you. But deep in his heart, he still wants you to receive those flowers.
..........
The guy who loves you. if he truly loves you. would love you always. whether or not you love him.
Your smile is all that matters to him.
And your happiness is what makes him happy.
He loves you. not bcoz u're beautiful
but bcoz he loves every thing u aren't.
He would love you even if you're not sweet. He would love u even if u don't have time for him.
He would offer to study with you even when he doesn't have to study
And he would sing to you with all his heart.
He would want to sms u every minute. but when he cant find a reason to, he would msg u a forwarded msg bcoz he wants u to know that he's thinking of you.
He doesnt dare to tell you he misses u.
The guy who loves you. would not only love you. but your family. your mother. your father. your sisters. your brothers.
He would do anything to make u happy .
He would do anything to make u smile.
For one simple reason.
Bcoz.
he. loves. you.
shld i.. shld i not.
Author: John Khoo

de stars in de night sky was superbly beautiful. it was just mesmerizing lookin into de nite sky. was sneakin far deep into de forest wiv ricky to use our hps (hps are banned btw)... when i looked up n saw de wonderful view. one person came to mind immediately. yea. called her. but ended up blabbering nonsense like "hey, de sky's realli nice. n i dunno y i called u either... so yup, bye?"
---------
booked out.
went out todae wiv mike for mdc auditions. audition sucked.
trust me.
i think i'm an averagely poor singer and a mediocre lousy songwriter... argh.
---------

-----------
i want to let her noe i like her. can sum1 tell me how? coz 1) i'm scared of rejection. 2) its a 90% chance tt she wldnt like me back. 3) i cannot imagine losing a fren like her if she rejects me.

watched house of wax a 2nd time.. this time via dvd....
i realli had a wonderful night..
however, as much as i tried my best to enjoy myself, i realised that i was gettin into a situation...
a situation whereby i would be at the happiest during de 3 hrs
but when i'm on my way home, i'll crash back to reality, and i'll be sadder than before..
it was almost as though i was re-living my past...
talking to her, watchin tv, talkin to her sis, etc.
i miss her a lot. den again, so mani other ppl misses her n likes her.
i'm nowhere near her league.
-------------
perhaps i need sum time alone.

wad a fruitful day.
went out almost de whole day. first half of de day spent wiv my parents, went to buy my camoflauge cream, went for lunch, den went home to change.
rushed to meet mel... wanted to watch movie at town, but there weren't ani nice shows there aniwae. went to bugis, saw mike n jiahui. went town, saw mani mani ppl i knew...
saw amelia at cine todae.
she looked kinda different. de last time i saw her was de last day of school. n de last time i talked to her was like ages ago...den again, i tink we wldn't even talk if we were right in front of each other...
felt a bitter sour tangy kinda feeling when i saw ame. its de kind of feelin when u feel like walkin up to ask her how she's doing, but sth's holding u back bcoz u fear she'll be cold or sth...
but yup. den i met ryan n mike to watch soccer at CHIJMES. man u won 4-0. how cool. n it realli rocks to be able to meet up wiv my buddies again. haven seen dem much since i've been to ns... hahax, i bought 2 t shirts yesterday. frm freshbox and fleshimp... haha... in fact, i think i spent lots of money yesterday.
ah. i just realised this is one of de onli entries without N's name in it. but ah, there it goes, i just mentioned her again. blehx. i shld stop thinking.
its 830am now. got to book in camp in.... exactly 11 hour 30 mins. sumbody save me.
field camp..
Author: John Khoo
had been stayin in de lush vegetations of de forest for de past 7 days... eating pathetic food rations dat tastes somewhat like dog food, biscuits, groping ur way thru de dark, feeding de mosquitoes wiv ur fresh blood, sleepin in bashars that are hot n stuffy, sleepin in trench holes u spend hours digging urself, finding urself awake wiv an earthworm beside u, etc.etc...
i feel as though i just got thru de worse phase of my entire bmt...
sleepless nights,
countless countdowns,
still cant believe that i got thru this stupid field camp in 7 days..
seargent iskandar even made us do crunches in our underwear late at night.
and red ants were all over me when i went down in my crunches position... i may haf just landed on an ant's hill.
but other than that,
this is an experience i wouldn't want to forget. days of not bathing, wearin de same old sweaty uniform, smellin worse than ammonia, etc.
---------------------------
field camp gave me so much time to think.
when de forest goes dark, i tend to sit outside my bashar and look at de stars.... wondering how it would be like if she was by my side.
msged her before i left.... dono why i did... but i told her i'm leavin for a wk field camp, n that i think i'll be missing her n tat she'll be de onli one i'll be thinking of...
well... she dint reply
den again, i cant blame her..
i'm just this hopeless guy who would probably never be loved by her again...
still.
life goes on,
and no matter wad,
i know N will always be on my mind..
if onli she knew how important she was to me...
a second to ponder abt..
Author: John Khoo
i leisurely asked her over sms abt her new bf..
she said she wasn't attached.
okae. but tats out of de pt aniwae...
took a second to ponder abt wads going on in my life now...
i'm just so caught up in de past that i'm not fully accepting ani1 in my life...
i apologize to ani1 whom i hurt in de process.
i've alreadi made a promise to myself not to get into ani other r'ship.......
----------
which makes me wonder again...
am i doing the right thing now?
liking her.. thinking of her in silence, loving her like that....
----------
at least i feel like i'm finally listening to my heart...
yup...
i'm convinced i'm doin de right thing....
maybe i'll let her noe after her a lvls this yr or sth.
life.
Author: John Khoo
life seems to be so meaningless now that i know n's attached.
den again,
its just back to normal again since i nv got de courage to let her noe how i feel...
i cried one entire night.
wad a sissy
but i just cant help it.
1230am. my heart's everywhere.
Author: John Khoo
jas told mi n is attached again.
n i cant help but suddenli feel that life's plaein a game wiv me.
n i'm losing this game..
chinese new yr. she broke up wiv her bf.
i was sad for her. but at de same time, it gave me the hope that i may one day get de chance n honour to be wiv her again.
but no, i chose to do nothing. though there are hundred things i wanted to let her noe, i kept quiet.
for wad? i dont know.
mebbe fear of rejection
mebbe i just wanna live on lying to myself that there's this hope i still mean sth to her
if i dont ask her,
i can continue lying that i mean sth to her.
she's attached.
n God has taken away this piece of hope he gave me during CNY.
my tears just started flowing uncontrollably.
n i told myself that i'm back to square one.
back to loving her in silence , in agony
back to watchin her be wiv another guy
listening to her talk abt another guy
back to caring and being there for her 24 hrs when she needs me. anytime.as a friend.
but no
life chose to put on additional misery to my life.
at this very instant, where tears were flowing, where hopes were dashed, where i felt so lost,
she msged me.
yes.
she msged me. a forwarded msg that said:
"i may not always know if u r okae. i may not always know when u are sad. i may not always know when u need sum1.. but when u do, i hope u know i am just around. smile!"
what exactly is life tryin to do to me?
what did i do to deserve such misery?
meanwhile,
i'll continue being her guardian angel
a fren that would be there for her 24 hrs, protecting, caring and thinking of her.
if she's happi. i wld be.
i won't forget...
Author: John Khoo

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot,who calls you back when you hang up on him,who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the boy who kisses your forhead,who wants to show you off to the worldwhen you are in your sweats,who holds your hand in front of his friends,who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on.
Wait for the one who is constantly reminding youof how much he cares about youand how lucky he is to have you.
Wait for the one who turns to his friends andsays, "...that's her."
GUYS...Find a girl who calls you immature in thataffectionate way instead of hotor sexy,who can't stand it when you hang up on her andcalls right back,who would sit there for hours looking into youreyes,who doesn't care what you look like, but what'sinside counts the most,
Who looks at you with the twinkle in her eyes and kisses you,
Wants to be with you in public, even if you wearthose old grass stained and ripped pants with the bleached jersey like always,
Wait for the girl who is a constant reminder of your happiness and joy, who makes you smiles just by knowing she loves you back.
Wait for the girl who you give piggy back rides to inpublic and she still is in view of her friends, while she gets off and you hear her go: "you're the one for me, for always"
a different me.

mebbe its realli better to blog in a place where no one else knows de url...
i feel as though i haf become so much of a introvert ever since entering ns...
sure, my old frens still noe me as dis crappy, mad, funny, humourous person...
but when it comes to new frens n stuff, i cant help but sit there in silence...
6 days in ns.. n i'm finally out for one day...
hate it when dey gif us less than 24 hrs before having to go back to camp.
its like.. having to squeeze in so mani hundred things i wanna do, n theres simply not enuf time...
thuoght a lot in ns.
i realli mean a lot.
i can just lie down in my bunk, shut out all de voices frm my bunk mates, n listen to my own heart.
realised how ynb has constantly been on my mind in ns...
but de sad thing is.
1) i cant find de courage or reason to msg her
2) when i finally do, she replies, and i don't know what else to say
3) i wanna let her noe i miss her, but when i am brave enuf to say, she thinks i'm joking. n at other times, i just cant find de words to put in.
its time i start life afresh. find a girl who truly loves me. find a girl whom i truly love.
i say that hundreds of times to myself, but what happens in de end?
i develop a crush on sum1, den i realise that its nothing but a passing infatuation. i cant bring myself to TRULY love sum1 else other than her.
yea fine, i think i'm an ass... ppl dont tell me that, but i can feel it...
but i'm alreadi trying my best to move on frm my r'ship that ended like since sec 4?!?
but wad happens? i move on, i find sum1 else. den i start developing this phobia that i would think of ynb again. den to avoid "hurting anyone else in de future", i choose to break up.
i realli dont understand myself. trust me, i'm finding it hard to find de real me...
but perhaps.
just maybe.
de real me is the john i've seen since sec 2. emotional, committed, dedicated, romantic, sweet, ready to put in 200% to make the girl he likes happy...
instead of
the john i've been since sec 4. crappy, sarcastic, sweet-talker, liar.
ns has made me mature i guess.
i feel like i'm de person i've been in sec 2 again. n that feelin rocks.
because i know
the next girl i get into a r'ship wiv,
would be sum1 i truly love,
n sum1 i would dearly treasure.
Cougar Platoon 1
Author: John Khoo
ah yes... never updated about my ns life before...
i'm in cougar platoon one, and cougar's one of de most disciplined company in the entire BMTC school 1. We have won overall champion for drills in consecutive years, and are known for really strict high standards when it comes to cleanliness and discipline.
I'm glad i was in cougar pl1 though.... compared to the other platoons in de company, we are pretty much welfare so far.... quite a lot of admin time (equivalent to free time)...
pace gonna pick up nxt wk onwards when de enhanced bmt phase begins... think i'll be struggling to cope... but i'm goin to make it.... i believe i can do it....
ah.. meanwhile, someone pray for my horrid cough and flu thats really affecting my ability to do any physical activities... and to even sleep at night... urghx...
Never meant to be
Author: John Khoo
When she's available,
I cant find the courage to love her.
When she's not,
I choose to love her in silence.
When she's sad,
I find myself praying for her, praying for her happiness
When she's not,
I cry because she doesn't share her happiness with me
When i say i love her,
She laughs and thinks i'm joking
But if i don't,
She would never know how much she means to me.
When i miss her,
I message her to let her know.
But i never send them,
Because if i did, she would receive a message from me every minute.
Now i've learnt to live with it.
I miss her, and i want to be the one who's always by her side
But she doesn't know, and i probably would never tell her
Because me and her
Probably are never meant to be.
But still.
Loving her in silence
And being there for her when she really needs me
Is a blessing on its own
My only regret
Is not being loved by her.
I fell in love with a Dancer
Author: John Khoo
I fell in ( v ) with a dancer
Her gentle movements
Her enchanting gaze
Her sweet chiselled smile
She leaped in the air
As graceful as a swan
No words are needed
Her actions spoke it all
She looked calm and focused
Her smile melted my heart
Not mine, but many others
She appeared in a pool of dancers
My eyes didn't have to search
I saw her, and saw her only
For my eyes were meant just for her
Time has passed
I'm no longer meant to be amongst that crowd
She still dances now
More vibrant than before
In my mind full of fond memories
The picture of her still remains
She'll stay in my mind forever
For i fell
And am still
In love with a dancer
