pleasant surprises..

good news comes in threes... haha..

good news number 1 - ryan is getting married!! no no.. i don't mean the ryan in singapore.. the ryan in Bago! he's getting married!! on 21 october!!

good news number 2 - temogen may be going to canada this year.. all the best my friend! even though i would very much want to see you again on my visit back to Bago in december.. but still, i would wish you the best of luck in searching for your better future..

good news number 3 - another cheap airline to Manila!! CebuPacific!! yeah!!

it's always so pleasant to receive texts from friends, especially when they carry pleasant surprises.. hahah.. but the stoopid me was sleeping like a pig, and i missed a call from temogen.. arghh..

and i want to attend ryan's wedding!!! maybe i'll make use of the holidays in october (21 oct and 24 oct are public holidays) and make a short trip down to Bago.. i want i want i want!!!

i found a sponsor!

damn.. my handphone failed on me!! on such an important day!! arghh!! it was always loyal to me, waking me up whenever i want it to, but today, it failed on me!! and i woke up so damn late!! i was supposed to meet a potential sponsor for my december trip this morning at 10am, but i woke up at 11am!! hell.. thought i almost screwed up this meeting..

but then again, i have good news.. haha.. i've got the sponsor!! =D.. yeah!! a sponsor for stationery items.. haha.. it was kinda nerve-wreaking, partly because i was late, and i have never try to secure such deals before.. haha.. now i'll have to settle all the paperwork, and i must find a shipping company, asap.. pray pray pray..

after that i met up with helen, to buy a yoga mat.. haha.. yar, i'm starting my first yoga lesson tomorrow.. i'm a healthy baby.. wahaha..

yes, time to get down to serious work.. and i'm still coughing.. *faints*

cars..

*cough cough* yes i'm still coughing.. kinda got worse (a little).. please please please, i don't want to finish my vacation with all the coughing..

oh, i watched the movie Cars yesterday night =D.. the disney pixar one, the cute cute one.. hehe.. i strongly recommend it.. hehe.. even though i enjoyed it at the comfort of my small room, with no popcorns and snacks (i'm sick!) and coughing.. bleahz.. but still, go watch it, people!! =D

and after watching it, you will realise that life is not just about racing.. racing to be the first, to be the best.. but to enjoy whatever that comes to you, and do what you really love.. =)

now, is there anybody who knows where to get those cute little cars in the movie? =D

the diary..

i was reading the diary that i wrote during my first stay in Bago, 2004.. it made me realise quite a few things.. i used to write a lot of chinese then, but now i think i need to write more.. haha.. starting to lose the touch of the language.. haha..

back to the point, the entries in the diary (the brown one which all YEP participants would have) reminded me that everything is not forever.. the entries not only reminded me of what the 24 of us did over there, but also recorded my thoughts, what i saw in the filipinos, and what i hope of.. and sadly, i didn't fulfil all that.. other than making a trip back again last year..

it contained memories, and all the problems that we had faced.. faded memories.. which is what a diary is for..

it makes me wonder, how imperfect i am, then and now.. and how we should make our lives less imperfect.. by living it to the fullest..

suddenly i miss how we did the "hi-5".. nobody knows the "hi-5" culture here.. it's so filipino, and nobody knows it here.. sometimes i reached out my hand for a "hi-5", and when there was no response, i forgot that here is not philippines.. can anyone over there fly here now to do that with me?!?

"the truth about the truth is, it hurts.. that's why we lie."

--------------------

cough cough.. when u get sick, everything comes in a package.. fever, flu, cough.. now fever and flu's gone, but still coughing.. and my throat and abdomen hurts whenever i cough.. arghh.. but i want to get out of the house again!!

another sentosa outing..

arghh.. i'm officially sick.. ar choo~~!!

went to sentosa again.. my third time back there.. manz, this holiday very happening huh.. but anyway, it was with NUSCO friends again, and today was frisbee playing and ball playing (and the ball disappears after 2 throws.. wert) and more frisbee playing.. in the water! haha.. ok, i hate getting wet, because i was lazy to change and it would be very troublesome to wash my hair if they got wet with sea water.. but anyhow i was wet up till the waist.. and i didn't know there are so many "yuhui"s in NUSCO.. keke..



it was fun, but not with the flu.. yucks.. i don't mind having lobster-red arms and face, but not the flu.. wasn't feeling very right in the morning, and perhaps staying too long under the sun made it worse.. so yes, i'm sick.. ar ar ar choo~~~!!!
