'09

All of us have our hopes and wishes.

The Question is : What is YOUR New Year Resolution?


Happy New Year '09.

Friends Forever - Clovelly Graduation

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

[1] - As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Will Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

[Repeat 1]

La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

[Repeat 1 (3x)]

I do have flashback once in awhile thinking about all sorts of memories regardless of whether it brings me joy or sadness. Each and everyone of it means a lot to me and it's priceless.

This song made me reminisce about those memories during their graduation night where the year 7's of Clovelly Park Primary School are leaving and about to end the last chapter of their primary school life. There were tears flowing down different individuals expressing their feelings, realising the fact that they might not get a chance to ever meet one another ever again. Lots of them were given hugs from their classmates and it must've been a precious moment to them. Perfect song ain't it? Especially the part 'these memories are playing like a film without sound'. So touching and yet so true, don't you think?

Zhenghua Sec - Clementi Town Sec Friendly Match.

+ Zhenghua Sec New jersey !

I've still been missing those times in Adelaide. Everything i do, i'll have a flashback of something related to it that i did in Australia. There's no more clear blue skies, no more view of the sunset, no more surfing, no more good weather, no more lotsa things. I'm gonna make sure i'll be there again next year!

Anyway back to 'reality', met Afiq, Hafies and Fattah Razzaq in the morning to buy the books we need for next year. Then walked to BPP to find some remaining books at Popular and had our lunch. Fattah left as he had something to do and Feeq came. Went back home to get my soccer boots and went straight to school.

We had a friendly match against Clementi Town Sec. at around 3+pm. I was surprised that i still got a chance to play in the first-11 when i didn't attend training for a month cause was overseas. Match kicked-off and blahblahblah... *Rozai passed the ball to me, I crossed it to Abu and GOAL!*.. blahblahblah...blahblahblah.. MATCH ENDED!

Final score was 7(ZSS)-2(CTS) (:

I'M BACK FROM ADELAIDE! I don't really know how to put down all the things i've done these few weeks. Sorry i couldn't post the pictures and stuffs cause the internet was temporarily down. I'm just waiting for my cousin to send me the pictures so i can post them!

Surprisingly woke up early this morning (maybe cause i realised i was going back), since everyone was still asleep, went outside and sat on the fence while reminisce about my time spend in Adelaide. I'll definitely miss friends there like Katy, Nisa, Mei-Ling, Leena, Ali, David, Matt, Sievlong, Minh, Kelvin and the others.

I won't forget going to their graduation and the Aquatics trip to 'Noarlunga'.

ANYWAY! I'LL REPOST THIS AS SOON AS I GET ALL THE PHOTOS!
and great ! =.= i just came back and i gotta leave for malaysia tomorrow after soccer training.

Yesterday, 9th December 2008- Went surfing again! This time the waves were way bigger than before! The waves were so strong that if you are caught in the path of the waves, you can be tossed around 360deg in the wave! I experienced that feeling around 3 times and it felt like i was drowning, but there were times when the waves are AWESOME ! and i got to ride the wave for a long time ;D

- Shopped at HarbourTown located next to the Airport to buy a shirt for graduation dinner.

- Reached Aunt's house and prepared to go for my cousin's graduation from 5:45- 7:30pm, Then headed to Charlie's(Chaplin) Diner for a freeflow dinner. Got to meet some friends there and had a wonderful evening!

-Went back at night and rented some DVD's at VideoEzy!

Today, 10th December 2008-

HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY FARHAN! May all your wishes come true hard-jumper! (:

Tomorrow, 11th December 2008:

-Leaving early in the morning for Noarlunga Aquatic Centre with some friends of my cousin. I think it's like a 'Wild Wild Wet' kind of thing but the larger version.

CATCH YA LATER DUDES!

Adelaide, Australia ;D

Monday, 8 December , 2008.

So, right now as at this moment I'm celebrating Hari Raya Haji in Australia! ;D The weather's great and so are the people. By the way, it's supposed to be summer time but the weather's like really cold. The most obvious difference between the people in Singapore and Australia is that each and every individual that you meet in Australia will say something like," Hey, how ya doing ?" , "How's everything there" and so on. They're a friendly bunch of people you would wanna be with. And i must mention the fact that if i were to study in Australia right now, in just 3 months i could drive a car!

And i don't know how to summarise the stuffs i did for the past few days. Okay, I've tried out surfing before and it's fun! Big waves and freaking cold water (almost had something like frostbite).
-Had a party organised by my aunt and also a camp-out
-Went to try the 2nd best fish n chips in S.A.
-Went crabbing(for those who don't know, it means fishing for well, crabs?) at Hendley beach. And i got to see a shooting star and a Moon-set for the first time !

+Studying here!
And so on and so forth. Manage to visit my cousin's school and stuffs and see what they usually do. Also went to my Aunt's University too. And one thing, The education system here is different to that in Singapore in terms of that here, you have no exams till you're going to JC/University. Which means that every year you get to promote without fail.

+The Jobs System !
In Singapore, A normal job in McDonald's or something will pay like $3.50/hr or something. But here, it's different. A job like that will pay like 15 Australian dollars/hr (just to work at Mcdonalds!?) If you calculate that and work like for example 5hrs a day and 5 times a week-->

Salary Per Week: 5(5) x $15= $375 (or more)

Got to go now. Gonna post again later on! (:
