..is so unpredictable and fragile.
I believe everyone knows about the recent Sichuan earthquake that took many innocent lives away.
Official figures (as of May 25, 12:00 CST) state that 62,664 are confirmed dead, including 62,161 in Sichuan province, and 358,816 injured, with 23,775 listed as missing.

I was playing pool with Pk and Kelvin Tay just now. Suddenly, I thought of the Shanghai days when Nono, Zwen and I would go and play pool at Ding Xi Lu.
Then, something came to my mind. I realised that all the people working at the pool shop were from Sichuan. Somehow, it affected me.
I wonder how they are feeling now.
I remembered when I first heard of the news, I didn't think much of it since natural disasters are common nowadays. But after I realised there are people whom I actually know are involved, I finally feel the emotions in me.
Let's hope all those affected will be fine and may God bless all who lost their loved ones and homes.

The Square Root of 3
By Dave Feinberg
I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed
I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed
BACK...
...from BKK last night.
Haha the whole trip was fun. It was also the first time the few of us had gone for a holiday trip together. Hope more of these will come next time.
Didn't buy too much stuffs, but spent about 1k (including hotel and air tickets). But of course, I remember to buy some stuffs back for some of my TB10 buddies and my own peeps.
The 5 days passed very fast.
When I reached Changi airport, memories of the day I came back of Shanghai came back. It felt so nice. And somehow, I miss the Shanghai days again.
Think I will post some pictures after I get them from Jarett.

Anyway, I'm free now. So people, feel free to ask me to go jogging or gym.
58 more days to army!! :D

Gone were the days..
..when everyone met up after school to play football.
It's sad that everyone has moved on with their lives. Often, I believe everyone, would love to go back to the days when they were still in their school uniforms and still ignorant (or rather innocent).
It's so hard to just organise a football game among our own. It definitely wasn't like this in the past. No matter how last minute it was, it was easy to see more than 15 people playing. Now, it's considered a miracle if 12 came down.
I'm disappointed to see this happen. I wonder how will things be like down the years.
It's more than merely kicking the ball, more than sweating.
It's the time that we share together on the pitch, the joy we have and you can practically really see smiles on the faces when we play.
How I wish, WD will come and play together again.
It really has been a long time.

Finally I'm not working at the air freight centre already. And this means my long lost beautiful sleep will come back to me from tonight on!
Kiss good bye to my just-formed eye bags.
Just got my pay yesterday. Seriously, I think it's time for me to do some financial planning. If not I think it will be gone in a flash, just like last time.
