Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

i saw my guitar teacher yesterday. or rather, my former guitar teacher. it was certainly a coincidence. his appearance hardly changed since i last saw him a couple of years ago. as usual, his huge guitar was slung over his shoulders and both hands were carrying plastic bags filled with guitar books.he taught me the guitar when i was in sec1/sec2. and he really made an impact in my life. back then, i started gaining interest in the guitar and thus i picked up the old acoustic one i had at home and played around with it. learning a bit here and there from the internet and friends.
upon seeing my interest, my mum decided to sign me up for a guitar course in the Community Centre and hence this was how i met my (former) guitar teacher. he was very patient and taught me several skills, techniques and songs.
as such, he built a strong foundation in my guitar playing and further spurred my passion for the guitar. however, due to time constraints i dropped from his class after covering a substantial amount of basic skills.
even after stopping the guitar lessons, i continued playing the guitar, picking up songs off the internet and constantly practicing and improving my techniques. soon, i picked up the bass guitar through my church and the techniques i've learned through guitar-playing certainly aided me in my bass playing.
looking back, i am grateful for this teacher for without him, i wouldn't be where i am today.

i know i'll get through it. i know i will.

pause for a moment. and think about your life. think back to the important events that happened in the past.now what if these events didnt happen. or it happened differently. say, you did better in a certain examination or you met somebody you never knew.
would your life right now be different? would you be a changed person? or maybe you wouldnt be a position you are in right now and life could be tougher. or easier. definitely maybe.
if you could get a glimpse into your future, seeing yourself some 10 years down and knowing how your life would turn out. and let's say your future aint so good. no car, no house, broken relationships, no job. poor. would you do anything to your life right now to prevent these from happening? or would you rather carry on with your life without subconsciously thinking about the future and leave your life in the hands of a higher power up there or some would prefer the term, fate?
what if...
these thoughts often run through my mind. somehow. subconsciously. though i very much believe in a God, an almighty being who has control over my life, i sometimes wished my life would be different. in some way or another. for the better of course. but then again, if these events which will make my life better were to happen, would i be where i am today? would i have been a different person? would i have done things i never did before? would i have relationships that i have right now?
if the world crumbles around me,
would You be there to keep me safe?
would You be there to keep me safe?

so, my last update was eons ago. hahahahahaa thousand and one things has since happened. i cant remember everything but i'll just try to put everything down here.
A levels ended on 23d november 2009. really thank God for seeing me through each and every paper, every single minute, every moment!
celebrated the end with a bang haha. it was L4D at serrangon gardens followed by drinking with the guys at far east rooftop and we went crazycrazy hahaha.
well anyway its just awesome that i wont be touching books or studying for at least the next 2 years! yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhh
hmm, got a job at a japanese restaurant in Robertson Quay. the people there are really nice to work with and i just quit anyway haha. earned quite a bit but nonetheless, the work experience was invaluable.
the month of december was pretty ordinary 'cept for PROM AND POST-PROM which was awesomely excellent to the max hahahaha. really great to dress up and took tons of photos.
Christmas was spent with family at Changi Boardwalk hahaha which was quite niceeeeeeeeee just to be with my family and taking photographs.
the holiday at Taiwan was awesome too! the weather's nice but i think its too cold for me ah shucks. hahahaha. but anyway, had a grrrreeeatt time there cause the food's nice and we just kept eating and eating and eating and eating. hahahaha. the sceneries were beautiful. photos on FACEBOOK!
spent the NEW YEAR over at Taiwan. not out on the streets with the crowds. something different this year. well anyway, 2010 is here and its been looking gooooood so far hahahaha and i'm pretty damn sure the rest of the year will be excellent.
so that pretty much sums up what's on my mind right nao though there're still millions of thoughts in my head which can't be expressed in words and there're some things i just want to shout it out but i just dont know how and i dont know what words to use to describe such thigns and emotions.
Avatar is definitely one of the best movies i've ever watched. absolutely definitely. no doubt about it.
