We're Better Together


As I listen to Jack Johnson's Better Together at 1 in the morning, I can't help but reminisce about my Poly days. Its no secret that they were the best days of my life so far. I no longer had to succumb myself to the rigid timetable of secondary school life (work life too if you come to think about it), I met the greatest bunch of friends that anyone could ask for, and I met the love of my life. Some days I just wish that I could go back to the times when we were hanging out in the tutorial rooms, waiting for the lesson to start. And when it did, some of us(me!) would start playing bingo. Countless days of fun, but of course some not so pleasant. If only I had a camera along with me all the time back then to capture the great times we had together.

Boy do I miss those days. Feeling abit sentimental. I bet you would if you were listening to this song.

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepiatone loving
Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together

MMM it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree now

It's always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm
I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no, combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together.

Love you bo.

Present


A late night entry before I go to sleep. Having a chalet with the SW pals at Sentosa soon. Really looking forward to it. Its been a long time since I went to a chalet and the last chalet with them at Sentosa wasn't what I would say fulfilling. Had to go back to SAFTI the next morning to cover Guard Duty. Bummer. Sure this will be alot of fun. Pity Mimi couldn't stay overnight. It would be good for her to really enjoy herself, with her being stress with work and the wedding thing. Nevermind about that. At least she can come over the next day for the Luge! I tell you guys, the Luge is super exciting. Well I don't go out of Singapore very often so zip it if anybody else have been to anything more exciting overseas. Pity the course is pretty short.

Been busy thinking of presents for the 3 of them. Feel that its the least I can do after everything they have done for me. Somehow feel that I am indebted to them. Probably that's why I am looking forward to the chalet. Being able to play a part. Feel like I have not been so close to them since I have been working. Good time to catch up with them.

Oh yeah.. Jensen is now attached.. Heheh.. Not being disrespect. Just really happy that he found someone. Wish him all the best and the same happiness me and Mimi have been so lucky to have.

Now time for Vic, Mel and Guang...

Its all about the money!


The good thing about working in a gym is the freedom. Its pretty laid back, get to use the gym for free (a big plus) and you get to mingle with alot of people. I feel like I can stay here for even longer than I planned. Originally the idea is for me to stay until after I get married next year, then saving enough money to get a part time degree, finish my degree, then move on to somewhere else.

The saving money for the degree will definitely take some time. I'm already keeping half of my pay for the wedding. Definitely gonna save more after we get married, need to get a flat, spend money on "house" stuff.. Starting a family is hard. But no regrets whatsoever. And no kids for me. Not in the near future at least.

Yeap. Save money, get married. Save more money, get a flat. Save even more, get a degree. Save much more, get a baby. Hahah..

Now how do one sign up for Survivor?
