I cannot believe it when I saw this photo posted on Facebook 1 week ago by a classmate whom i have lost contact since we graduated.
Yup, this was me when i was in Sec 3. 11 years ago!!!!
And thanks to FB, the whole lot of us started commenting on the photo and talking about the past & what all of us are busy with now. I actually got back into contact with most of them. Well, the internet is just amazing.
I'm at crossroads now and I hope this long break will allow me to find out what I really want and also the courage to fight for it.

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
We conquered outer space but not inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
CNY has been a really busy time for me and I had so little rest that I fall sick in the end. These are just some of the random pics that was taken during CNY.
Was at AY's place today to visit BB En Xi. She has grown so much since I last saw her but still irresistibly cute and adorable.
She was hungry when she woke up from her nap. So, I finally got my chance to feed her!!
CNY Day 2, many friends and relatives came and visit us. We had the traditional lion dance team over in the noon and they wanted to try something special this year - which was to parade the dragon.
While the lion was in action...
Before the guests arrived in Day 2, the Ong brothers were having some fun on their own.
