Hey...

Time for my weekly "report". Haha. I think of it as a report nowadays cause I hardly find any motivation to write about my life.

Ok perhaps something different to talk about. I'm not going to say what I did over the weekend, but probably just some "food for thought". Its National Day yesterday, and I really wanted to see the fireworks, but in the end I did not catch it. Perhaps its fate that I did not anyway. There's a need to break this yearly tradition. Been doing it my whole life. People even ask me why. I guess it started from young. Back then, I was living in this neighbourhood called Kampung Arang. Ok, its not a Kampung, the name's called Kampung Arang, that's all, and its damn near National Stadium. I can actually see the lights and field of National Stadium from my old house. So, every year, my family has the tradition to watch fireworks, due to the efforts of my father. We would actually all gather at the corridor with my neighbours, and watch it with awe. This tradition persisted even till after we shifted out of that place to Tampines, whereby it then became a tradition where Dad will drive us out to see fireworks. It kind of stopped in sec 3, whereby I think I just did not want to participate in the yearly firework outings anymore. I'm not sure why either, but at that time I guess I wasn't really interested. It was only in year 2 of Polytechnic life whereby I started the trend again.

Frankly speaking, I have no idea why the obessesion. I'll even feel bored halfway through it. And yet, every single time, when watching it, I get this very relaxing feeling. Watching it makes me feel that just for that brief few seconds, nothing else in the world matters. No matter how troubled or how happy or how unhappy or how angry I was, for the past few years it was able to have that soothing and "forgetful" effect on me. Haha. It never ceases me to amaze me how something so interesting and beautiful can exist, and yet perhaps because it only happens once a year, it makes it an even rarer sight, thus increasing the value of beauty in fireworks.

Was wondering for a while before yesterday if I should go watch it myself, but luckily, or unluckily, I was with Aaron, and we were talking about our lives and stuff, so instead of fireworks in town, we were drinking "Ice Cold Yuan Yang" at Kovan just chatting about lives itself. I think about the days when the guys and I were younger, when we would chat about our problems. So much has changed since then, the only thing that hasn't its the fact that we're still sharing our thoughts with each other, so I guess that's a blessing. Haha. I remember we had this unplanned "sharing" session, whereby we would grab a drink, and just chit chat, lying down at the playground under Aaron's house, sleeping over at either Ming or Aaron's place etc.. Forever just chit chatting and chilling.. haha..As we grow, things change, but our friendship never really changes, and I'm really thankful for that, for the great bunch of guy friends from secondary school who's been there for me since secondary school till now..Ok, I sound damn gay now.. Haha...

Okay.. my flu's killing me ! Shall go get some rest..

Blog another day..

Cheers !
