Fighter in the Wind

I recently watched a really good show called "Fighter in the wind". Its about this guy who became the greatest fighter in the whole of Japan. It showed the trials, tribulations and humiliations he had to endure, as well as the amount of self-discipline and training he to go through in order to fulfil his dream. It made me think about my own life, whether i had lived it to the best of my ability. Truth is, i really don't know. I think quite of lot of events and happenings have moulded me to the person i am now. Whether good or bad, i can't perceive for myself. All i know is that if i keep walking, and keep fighting, in the end i will know the answer. I just wish i have someone to guide me along my path, to teach me more, and to keep me from going astray. All my life i've been walking alone, with only my will and God's grace to guide me.

But I must still go on. To become stronger. And better. I want to be the best. My friends.. thank you for always being there. Although our paths may differ, as long as our friendship is strong, there is nothing we cannot overcome. I wish you all the best in your respective fields, and i hope to see you all at the top in the end.


P.S To Wenyi: Thanks for the card rex. Pretty cool stuff. I'm all on for europe, though money might be an issue.

P.S.S To Chenhong: Glad to hear you're having a great time over in LA. Carpe dieme dude!

Save the Chatterboxes

I have recently received an email from flooble saying they will close my tagboard coz it has fallen into disuse and disrepair. In order to prevent its imminent annihilation by the evil bureaucrats, I decided to set up an online petition service to save the chatterboxes. All you need to do is to drop me a note every once in a while. Of course, money is also welcome! =) Please kindly deposit any donations in cash, check or bank draft made out in name to Mr Koh Youwei Eugene. Transactions secured through Western Union or Paypal are equally fine. Thank you for you generous support.


Sincerely,

The talkingorange team.

When it Rains it Pours

For some very strange reason, i cant seem to concentrate. And for an even stranger reason, it ALWAYS happens at this time of year.. Why? I don't really know myself. I know for certain i have quite of lot of things to accomplish, both at present and in the future, but i cant seem to be able to settle down on doing them. My brain seems to be locked in some sort of permanant tangle and my frown doesnt seem to want to leave my forehead. Most peculiar.. and im also strangely more irritable than usual (yes yes.. wadever).

Maybe its because i dont have any foreseeable deadlines? I'm wondering if that's it? That if i've no work, or no urgent work to do, den i feel.. empty? Hmm.. interesting.. But i DO have deadlines to meet, though not that soon. But it seems that these deadlines are somewhat inconsequential? Its a funny thing.. I wonder..

Well.. usually i don't speak aloud my thoughts like this but im quite at a loss as to wad exactly might be happening here, especially since they seem to be a recurring phenomenon. Well.. maybe someone out there might be able to solve this mystery for me, so hopefully i wont have to plagued by this nonsense again.

On a brighter note, I've been getting on quite well at hall... surprisingly i have no problems waking up in the mornings. But the problem is i usually drop back off to sleep or am too lazy to go for the 8am lectures. Heh. And i oso realised one of my friends actually lives on the same level as me! The view from my room is quite good, considering i live on the top floor. I like to call my place the penthouse. It comes attached with balcony, pantry and laundry room. Really not bad! AND it has it own swimming pool, gym, badminton, basketball and tennis courts, rock walls and soccer field. Not bad at all! =))) Oh.. and ive got myself another tuition job that pays $50 an hour!! Woohoo! Well.. it really does seems i have all the luck huh. No complaints there! =)

Haha.. and for those who managed to get through all that blather at the top, here's a poem from yours truly! =)


My mind is in a whirl
My vision strangely fogged
My pulse starts aracing
My logic all but clogged
Though i close the windows
It comes in through the doors
Not a trickle, not a drop
But when it rains it pours.
