friends

having a bunch of close friend
is the next best thing you can ever hope for
though they are not ranked as highly as our parents
but they are still unique and irreplaceable
you might be angry at them, unhappy about them
but in the end, you still find joy being around them

what is defined as a close friend
they can pinpoint your mistake and shoot it in your face
they can insult you and still be nonchalant
they can humiliate you and still think its funny
they can share all your silly moments and still laugh together with you
they can give hard to accept advice without backing down
they will be there when you need them and even when you dont need them

its not easy to find a bunch of them
but i'm glad that i had a few of them
in my life that i can really have fun with
though we have bad moments and our own commitment
i hope we stay like this for as long as possible

miniature holiday

one week break for hari raya
did not went to any malay friends house for visiting
due to majority of them went back kampung for that 5 days holidays
spend a lot time with those crazy friends of mine
basketball, badminton, mamak
was a healthy week and a crazy timeout

went to bookfest on thursday
the crowd was awesome as usual
especially the chinese section
it was overcrowded
you can actually bump elbow with people
as you walk pass aisle of books
there were many offers
amazing books at amazingly low price
however, it still a bit pricey for me as
most books i want are not for sale and is still at its usual price
but you cant deny that the stationery are the best offer

visit shin dhee at her booth at bookfest
lotsa drama happened that day
so she was quite stressed
but a few more days and its finally over for her
bookfest is the most big project
kudos to her and all popular staff for making it a success
you can see its success reflected in the newspaper

the holiday is ending
you coming back soon
lots of story to catch up
singapore trip soon
sending you off soon

retreat for the soul

been to the retreat camp last weekend
it was a small camp with the objective to allow bonding with the committee
i was the first there as i had the key to the premise
when i entered, it was very peaceful
i prayed to the buddha and meditated for a few minutes as there is no one there
after the meditation, i cleared up the place and waited for the others to arrive

i learned a lot from the camp
despite the camp only lasted for one day and a half
it was really meaningful and it really felt that i know my fellow committee more
the knowledge that i gained from the camp i shall cherish and apply in my daily life
how often do you have senior that will teach you things that you cant learn
from your average textbook
to those that attended the camp, i hope the lesson learnt will change your life

had dinner with all those that attended after the camp
it was amazingly hilarious and enjoyable at the same time
was able to talk with them better as they had open up and not having fear
after the dinner, send everyone home and meet up with me friends
and head home for a long nice sleep afterwards

what i learn from the camp is as follows:
1. always plan ahead what you want to do and what you want to achieve so that you know the direction you want to go and strive towards achieving
2. whenever you want to pass a message to anyone, make sure you do it yourself and directly to that person and not through any medium or channel as they may messed up the message
3. sometimes when you work together as a team with people, there will be some that will do shit and messed up the rhythm or the project, instead of giving up or bring mad, try to turn the situation around and work toward achieving it
4. sometimes you are given task you are not familiar with, it doesn't mean that you should give up, do your best to achieve it and also ask for help from people that knows about it. do your very best to complete the task assigned.

busy week ahead
still havent started on my project yet
still cant clear some of the problems i encountered
but i'll figure it out.
logging out
