Alright. Now back to blogging. May have been pretty hectic for me, especially since it's also my exam period. Attended Pioneer Junior College's Alumni Home Coming Dinner last week. Happy to see my old friends as well as make new friends. It's been almost 6 years since I graduated from PJC. So glad that the people there still remember me.

Singing "You'll Never Be Mine"

Thank you PJC for everything. Thank you to all my teachers for their hard work and dedication towards not only me but also to the rest of the students.

I would also like to take this chance to thank my principal Mrs Tan for her unwavering support to me. She has seen me grow up. From a 16 year old boy to a young adult now. She is more than just a principal to me. She's also a great mentor and friend.

Sometime back, I received a good news from the mail. It was sent by the college. I was chosen as one of the recipients to receive the "Outstanding Alumni Award" at this year's College Day!

It is definitely a wonderful achievement for me after so long. Being chose to receive this top award among the ten of thousands of ex-Pioneers who have graduated from this college. Award ceremony will take place this Saturday. But it's a closed door event so I'm sorry you guys cannot be there to share this joyous moment with me. But I will post pictures of it ok! (",)

Two weeks ago, I had my first music showcase at K Union @ K Box Cineleisure. It's my first music showcase there and also my first music showcase for the year. Despite the heavy rain that day, I think we all manage to have fun together, right? Lol!

Special thanks to Asyraf Moliano for lending his talent to this showcase, helping me play guitar back up for the show. Thank you bro! You are indeed a talented musician!

Thank you all who specially came down to support me, with some traveling as far as across the causeway from Malaysia just to attend this event. Thank you!!!!

Some pictures to share!

Before I go, would like to share a video of my showcase. For those who missed it, this is for you too. It's a song I like alot. 依然愛你 by my idol Lee Hom (王力宏).

Enjoy. :)

Stop awhile, and listen

This is a short story I stumbled upon some time back. I hope you all can put aside 5 minutes of your time and read it.

Here it goes.

A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door.

   

SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'

MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman. 

SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: 'Mummy, may I please borrow $25?'

The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down , and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25 and he really didn't ask for money very often.

The woman went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. 'Are you asleep, son?' She asked.

'No Mummy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the woman. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Mummy!' he yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother. 'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the mother grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied. 'Mummy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The mother was crushed. She put his arms around her little son, and she begged for his forgiveness.

 

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Share this story with your friends, and the ones you love.

Loves.
