graduation

i was at e same venue almost 8yrs ago. then, was attending joanne's graduation. this morning, i was invited by nyp's school of business management to joel's graduation. this time round, i was allocated to e seating right at e front portion where both jon and me were identified as e industry & trade VIPs!

your eyes are not playing tricks on you - i am absolutely undressed for e occassion. compared to what i've worn years ago, today was definitely a dressed-down but to give myself e benefit of doubt, i was not awared of my VIP status, not until i was given a name tag upon my registration at e auditorium foyer. guess what, my name was tagged onto e seating too!

joel's amazing stint with suntec singapore was no joke. he has shown his capability of achieving big in this exciting industry. he graduated with merit and i see future in this fellow. keep it up, young man!

admiration

came across this small column write-up on e way to work this morning. hong junyang was once criticized for being an one-album singer. but ask yourself, how many of you are up to par to criticize such a person where you, yourself, is not even a singer? who presented you with e right to do so?

in my not-so-noble life, i self-cultivated myself not to comment on one's life if i do not go through what one has done for theirs. i am not as talented as junyang but there's one part of my life, very much similar to what he's saying out loud on national newspaper - at least i used to do that, at least i've been through that, at least i've experienced that. my admiration for such a declaration is honest and real.

not so long ago, i chanced on a lunch with junyang and dasmond at fish n co. we talked about e usual men's topics and junyang's character personified his will of succeeding in this entertainment industry. he joked no one has got any impression of him anymore but i certainly disagreed with his comment. however having saying that, i remarked an "one-day-i'll-make-it" spirit in his innocent look. well, one of my colleagues, sharon, definitely is one of his supporter!

as a matter of fact, i looked back the heyday (of mine) with a smile. i am no more longer frustrated with how my dream has been shattered especially admitting the fact of my inability to deal with sporting stress. now, i took on a different role in my life, i've acquired new priority and i am certainly living my life with pride.

mas selamat

rumours and speculations said that famous terrorist, mas selamat, has made his way out of e red dot since his escape early last year. i've never been convinced as i strongly trust e tight security measures which our country has built up in place.

while receiving e news where mas selamat has been captured in malaysia this early morning, it seems like i've been given a knock on my head, reminding me that i am still living in an ordinary country where normal civilian like me will be harmed while walking down e streets.

i am disappointed with e fact that mas selamat has managed to get himself out of singapore easily after his escape. so where were e soldiers and policemen? I thought newspaper reported so much on their heavy deployment around e small island where maybe a fly might not be able to fly out!

so naive hor..

i always thought that singapore has got one of e highest level of national security. ya, such incident does happen but as a true singaporean, i'd like to express my insecure and disappointment in react to such an issue. on e other hand, i'm impressed by how much we have been putting in in order to get mas selamat's head. i remembered reading one article where some guys actually quited their jobs and went hunting for mas selamat's head!

this episode has finally ended. regardless of mas selamat being captured on our island or on e other island across e causeway, i'm delighted with mild rejection.

kudoz to those who captured mas selamat and definitely big kudoz for those who did e posters for mas selamat. THE END.
