Here's what spring my train of thoughts from one of the IG members..What are your thoughts on Singapore? too many rules bounding you? i feel proud and blessed to be in Singapore. Yes, the rules can be quite suffocating but in exchange we got a clean,green,safe and organized environment for us to live. i feel there's plenty of opportunities for us to bloom, it just depend on whether wanna make it happen or we choose to lament on how hard it is to succeed without a "paper". Yes, the "paper" might ensure your promotions to go on smoother but i feel it's useless. In the future, i hire attitude, not people. i don't even give a shit about your "papers" if you lack the heart.
I feel i still don't know enough. i'm just scrapping a small surface from a big boulder. my tool? read, live and experience..

Water - Its gives life, but right now it's taking away too much, too much for mankind to handle. What message is the "someone greater" trying to bring across?

Looking at them reminds me of my childhood. I used to be like them.. playful, always getting into trouble and always trying to find ways to avoid the cane.. but a kid won't be called a child if they are never mischievious right? so i let the child in me played with them..
haha.. those bunch of rascals that i love..
hmm? what's up there?
we just wanna have some fun..

This bunch of guys.. amazing bunch.. its really a blessing on how we managed to gel so well and got so united.. i guess i'm gonna really missed all of them when all of us graduate.. thank you for being a milestone in my life...

that's what friends are for... Guardian angel? do i behave like one? do i come to you when you are in trouble, but leave you as the troubles leave you.. I always there for you when the going gets tough but i seldom share your happiness with you.. realise i've been acting this way since i begin to have friends. is it a natural flaw or is it an asset to have. i've lost loved ones cos i spend so much time guarding others, but i have made lots of friends through this trait. However am i as impt as i am to them after their troubles are gone. i highly doubt so. then what for i'm still doing that? is it a punishment bestowed on me from my previous life- to serve others. to put others in front of my own interests. Breaking through this barrier is tough and i'm still far from doing a good job..
Superman
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me
I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
'Bout a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd
But don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
But won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me
Up, up and away, away from me
Well it's alright
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
I'm only a man in a phoney red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me, inside of me
Inside of me, yeah inside of me, inside of me
I'm only a man in a phoney red sheet
I'm only a man looking for a dream
I'm only a man in a phoney red sheet
And it's not easy...
It's not easy to be me

"merry x'mas!!" it felt different. its from junwei, all the way from texas. i so wanted to fly over to give him a hug and tell him how i miss him since he left us after olevel. i miss how he is always labelled a faggot and made to do the dumb jokes the guys made him to. how he wanted to score a date with a girl but always got a date with the guys instead. i still can picture the scene when the group of us send him at the airport. its the first time i teared, for him.
close up..

dumb moments leave a deeper mark in your heart.. when will we get to walk barefoot in the public fountain again? I experienced brotherhood, companionship, friendship, laughter and belonging in that matter of hours.. its amazing how all of us come this far. Since the first day i started in year 1, never have i expected to all of us gelled so well.. It's been a blessing.. Thank you!
However this come with a price, i have offset a balance..

kaijun is hidden under wilson's shirt
Once again it's us... really enjoyed the time together...
Saffron United Why can't i just be left alone at times.. there's always things coming back to haunt me.. i need to seek my own solitude... Maybe i should stop being Mr nice guy and just don't be bothered by anything happening around the world..Stay away from me, i don't need anyone... let me hide please?

most of them dream of having the dream team.. in actual fact, there's no model team. it all depend on how this team weaved their traits together, working towards the common goal. they don't have to agree to everything, but acceptance is the key.This make me wonder, when we were young or even now, when we have to play some competitive games, usually the lousy ones are picked the last. Is it because they are lousy then they are picked the last or is it they are lousy because they get picked the last.
Different people need different durations of nurturing and training. Sad to say, the slow one usually got outcast in this fast-paced society. It's the truth. A dark one i came to realise.

its been a while i had the chance to sit down with a group of frenz to just have a drink, had fun, tease(kaijun) and watch the world go by... somehow it rejuvenates the soul i guess...
i love this chess game.. everything so far have been going well for the team.. feel so blessed to be with this team right now.. this time i feel i'm different, different from the Jason 2 years ago. a much better jason.

There this SMS about the world's brothers' day which require us to forward it to all we believed are brothers. i believe it have been circulating throughout the hospi cohort guys yesterday. Its kinda heartwarming to keep seeing your friends pop up, everyone sending the same msgs.. Thank you brothers for giving me such pleasant memories...last night, its wasn't soccer i guess everyone is dying for. its the company each other have.. saffron united is back to their soccer dates. though almost everyone tire out easily, someone got really fat(kaijun better buck up), we got Baos as an addition to the team, we got the same attitude guy back(Junyi, i know who you are pes A alr), we got QQ back to his own silly crazy actions, gerald back to this own vulgarities soccer, the tank aka damian is back to break our legs, tou pok & phat is back to stand in between the poles, frog is now breaking out of his GK shell, chin is still shrieking like a trans, weisheng & I is still running like 2 kampung boys and last but not least jinde and yongguang still the inexhaustible engines of the game. We played till vision became minimal and we continued. its only till 8.15pm that we decided to call it a day, and head for the showers and to the famous ANG KIONG kopitiam for our dinner and chitchat session. It feels great to be back in school. the warmth of being in each other company. eyeing girls, talking bout them fantasying bout them, cracking crude jokes, that's what make us bond so close that i can't imagine what is it gonna be like when all of us gotta shave our heads after we graduate.. i love them!

think they are having fun....
fangky and me
my juniors..
The Threes!
Had the Singapore Chef's Club D & D last night.. great food and great company... took tons of pictures but decided to load a few into it.. there's too much already.. watch this space while i source out for a place to store all my pictures..
procrastinating to blog has been my forte recently.. the words just don't flow.. after losing my beloved computer to some virus, i have been handicapped for almost a month. i've totally lose my momentum in writing. i don't write for the sake of writing and its only when the spur of moment comes, then i will start. that defining moment came last night.
i went to visit my granny. the one who took care of me since i was born. who sheltered me from caning when i was young. the one who bring me downstairs to buy my favourite Yakult. the one that pat my butt to sleep when i was sleeping in a sarong. the one that bathe me and woke up to be by my side when i need to go to the toilet at the wee hours of the morning. the one that is so deeply engraved in my heart that can wet my eyes any moment of time. its hard to accept that now is constantly lying on the bed, looking so weak and suffering form depression. time took away the granny i used to be with. when i look at her, i got zapped back to where i used to belong. the same old jason who valued family more than any other things. now i look at myself again.
i've changed. there's only a tinge of family orientated trait in me. i've developed into a workaholic. even all the HR personnels in the hotel say so. I became so driven, so focus, so bent on making my mark in the working society. i wanna carve a legacy for myself. i'm curious what causes this change. the thirst for power or self-achievement. i guess its both. i like interacting, managing and leading. that's what drives me now. romance and kinship suddenly took a back step. i feel that i have neglected them. to others, i might seem i have off set the balance, but right now i feel i have found the balance. but last night put everything back to jepopardy again. where do i wanna head to? singapore or the globe? i feel so encaged in singapore. i wanna step out and breathe the air outside and see the ugly scenes where i catch on the news. i don't wanna be just a typical singapore kampung boy who settle down after finding a local stable job and start a family and the generations just go on and on. i want an adventure! i want to move form places to places. experience the culture, interact with the different people.
Till now when i reach NS, i'm still bent on making my mark in the hospitality world irregardless of what it takes. let's see how NS might change me...
