Permalink Comments (2)Dream homeEveryone has his or her own idea on what constitutes a beautiful home. A subjective topic since it all boils down to individual points of view. Yet some aspects remain constant – the drive to excel, the search for perfection, the hard work involved and the everpresent issue of budget constraints.
Continuing to delve into the intricacies of conceptualising a home that fulfils my desires ( it’s a bit too early I know but please bear with me cos I’m too free these days ), I had came across works of David Cheah, an architect-turned-artist. His major project was for the VVIP lounge of the KL International airport. David explored unconventional canvasses through artistic expressions such as works on grass-weave wallpaper and silk hangings which double up as table or bed runners and shawls. An architectural education coupled with principles of ‘ less is more ’ and ‘ form follows function ’ has enabled him to grapple with contrasting polarities of the utilitarian and the aesthetic. These explorations are prevalent in his interpretation of interior designs and architecture.
Nowadays, I tend to enjoy the blurring boundaries between people and cultural origins, and find this quite liberating. So it’ll not be surprising to find my future home a Victorian facade with a sophisticated cosmopolitan interior and a touch of Asian decoratives such as Indonesian cinnamon inlaid mirrors, sandstone pedestals, Vietnamese tiled tables and so forth…. Sounds a bit weird isn’t it……who cares, if I’m filthy rich then….if …and only if…

More than half a month of 2007 has passed by. Yet, this is only my first post of the year. I daresay giving credits to Mr Isaac is a must for this post. If it had not been for his constant nags and complaints, I would have left this blog untouched until who-knows-when….
Words are inadequate to describe what I’ve been through the past few months. After the torturing exams which means an absolute fullstop to my school life, I’ve enjoyed a series of long-planned programmes – shopping, movies, karaoke-ing, counter-striking, gossiping, vacationing, onlining, sauntering and once again I stress, fantastic SHOPPING !!! At many times, it struck me that schooling is an absolute boredom and I just cant wait to shrug it away from my life and get started with my career. However, I am starting to miss school indeed….such a dilemma.
After weeks of dallying, I, or should I say we (you know who you are), decided to start hunting for jobs. The first job we got sounds like a perfect career - high pay, transport provided, tonnes of incentives and free vacations..etc… The Chinese proverb which goes ‘ hypertrophy toads are not found jumping on streets ’ (direct translation) is an appropriate saying to paraphrase what I’m about to say. The company cheats. Not us. But they intended to hire us and mostly youngsters to do the cheating. Conmen nowadays think that we undergraduates are dullards, don’t they ? Fortunately we’re not. Once again thanx to Isaac for his alertness. Nicholas, don’t feel bad, they are heaps of jobs out there waiting for us !!
After being a slug at home or a few days, the KAKIs had a meeting to discuss about our studies and considered searching for another job. I will be more than ever, willing to work as long as its something I favour and there’s something I can learn from it.
The second job we found was quite a nice one. It’s a company which provides analytical info on forex to it’s customers. We were given a 4-day-course which were meant to enhance our knowledge and skills on that particular field. It’s only the 3rd day of the course and we are given a choice whether to take up the job since they are hoping to find people interested in it. I’m a novice in forex investment and I really doubt if I’ll accept the job cos I don’t see myself having great interest in it. Anyway, no harm done even if I reject it, at least I’ve learnt something new.
Time goes by swiftly, results will be out in no time….the thought of it runs chills down my spine. I can just cross my fingers and pray hard. I’ve sought counsel from a few seniors regarding choices of universities local and abroad. It’s really a tough choice. So let’s hope for the best and prepare for the worst, I hafta start my uni applications abroad soon.
Really miss those school days……

Permalink Comments (3)A new homeSince most of you are more used to Friendster blogs, I might as well make an exact copy of my blog in the blogspot to my new Friendster blog. If you find it more convenient to view my blog through the blogspot, pls feel free as to do so as the posts will be practically the same.
I realised that most of the blogs that I’ve been viewing in the past 2 weeks are mainly new posts of the ST Choir members (especially retiring ones, who never blogs, and even short messages are what you rarely get from them, but now, their posts could be longer than any short story by Roald Dahl …… miracles!!!) Needless to mention, most of their posts, or should I say all of them, mainly revolve around the choir, friendship and memories. I realized that the choir has a great impact on many souls, especially the 05/06 batch that has been through so much together and I can hardly recall all of the experiences. More than a year has passed and the memories of myself being a choir newbie still remain vivid in my mind. We were scolded, reprimanded, given sarcastic comments. Yet, we held on. As we took on the baton of administration, it was another challenge to us. However, we managed to handle things quite well despite disagreements and bafflements that popped up halfway through. Countless experiences and hard times we’ve been through together, and practically every form 5 member that I’m close to came to me and told me that the miss the choir, a lot. Like what I’ve said to nai woon, “memories stay, but life goes on”, we’ve got to let go. Letting go doesn’t mean leaving all the memories behind. When it’s time for us to leave, we will learn to treasure the memories we had together, and I believe this makes us more closely-knitted as a family brought together by the power of music. I managed to focus on my studies now, as well as syee wei, though we still discuss a lot of choir affairs. So, everyone taking government exams this year (esp f5), get your priorities right, study hard, don’t let the guilt of not trying your best haunt you for the rest of your lives, and there will no use to remorse by then bcos what is done, is done. So do not let yourselves regret your own acts, study hard for the sake of your future.
Junior STV, do not worry, you won’t stand alone, we’re here to help all the time. The seniors and super seniors have worked extremely hard to construct a solid foundation for the choir. It’s your duty now to develop a sky-scraper out of it. It’s all our blood, sweat and oil, make sure you guys take up your responsibilities well and don’t give the teachers a hard time. I have faith in you all !!
Once again, Susan Medley bless you all !!
(Specially dedicated to Ivan, Kar Leong, Hong Wai, Yi Jun, Nicholas, Joseph, Nai Woon and last but not least, Syee Wei )
