Line the wall

In front of you is a runway,
You take in a deep breath,
A stretch far beyond,
All yours.

The clock ticks away.

You empty your mind,
As the wind blow across,
A droplet falls beside you,
Creating the final ripples.

You move on the tenth click.

Do you hear the beat?
The power of each stroke?
Feel your heart pounding,
And reach forward.

And you pull everything towards you with all your heart.
-The line up


Saturday was good, after canoe training, a couple of guys and girls came over to my place to shower and play wii before heading off to meet the rest for Bob's birthday gathering!

Cure that smile

Have you looked into my eyes?
Nothing is as it seems,
Behind that smile of mine,
The thoughts in my mind.

You can only imagine the dreams that I dream,

Hold on tightly to whats in your hand,
or I just might take it,
and pull you along,
with a string.
- Look into my eyes.

Well, this week has been interesting so far, there was the president visit so canoe training was cancelled and we were there to welcome the president once more.















After that, the team went up for food, mee goreng...chicken and fishballs and kway teow! Oily dinner... After that, Kumar, Dom, Angeline and me went to watch the dark knight! This is second time I've watched it, and its still damn good! Its just so nice to hear the line, "Lets put a smile on that face of yours!" The acting was beyond.


As for today, after school, there was adventure learning camp! And suprise, suprise... only three classmates were with me.














The tower.... a wee bit too low to be scary














The obstacle we went through... pretty simple, everyone did it pretty fast, plus no one fell off!














Z lovely instructor Jane (Aparently she's 24... 1 year till quarter century eh? =P)














My class mates and alc buddies! Kimo, Kimberlyn, me and Wilson! Thats it for the post. Adieu to all.

Break the glass

Do you feel the the world calling?
Are you behind the one way glass?
Staring at your reflection?
Clench your fist.

And just beat it.

Hammer the obstacle in your way,
As long as there is some fight,
You can do it,
Just beat it.
-Break the glass.

It was saturday night poker! BOooya! The guys came over to my place after the national canoe competition... There was pasta... and chicken... 2 assitant chefs...(Bob the builder/cleaner/chef and Dom) Haha, it was amazing fun where everyone was talking cock, just having fun discussing stuff and after dinner, thats when the real fun began! The highlight of the evening... WII!!!

Here are the first 4 candidates of the party... Yong ann, followed by Hairul, Bob and Benjamin...














Here are the boys in dumbass poses!















Well, Wii tends to make people do dumb stuff! Here are two videos of the guys playing the rayman's raving rabbits! (MY fav wii game)






Ok... beyond here is the nc 16 Section. MUCH later into the night... When a couple of guys had too much to drink...cigars and tequlia...cards... They started taking off their shirts and played wii. (They really gayed up a notch...)















Talk about one wild night! Here is a short video of these boys dancing to the music!


Quite a few stayed over till the next day. Spent most of the whole morning competing with Kumar, Gilbert and Kenneth in Wii boxing! Haha, at the end of it, only Kumar, Gilbert and me were left standing, so I topped off the entire event with a glass macallen on the rocks for each of us!

Thats it for the wild night, I've got more stuff, but its all just too darn sick...Thats it folks... Can't wait for another Poker night session(Better teach the boys how to play it, so many still don't know!) It was really more like a wii night with the boys! Haha, so gay... Adieu to all.

Breathe it all in

Look straight dead ahead,
a mile of straight black graphite,
Like looking down a tunnel,
As the metal is blasting in your ears.

Tilt your head down and get ready to go.

When you see the lightning strike,
You rush forward to reach the sonic boom,
To run faster,
Faster than the speed of sound

Just breathe all in.
-Race down

Alright... Something I've been planning for quite a while is almost here! Saturday Poker night with the canoe junior guys! A night of poker, dai dee, pasta, pizza... vodka, tequila and wii! There's going to a huge session of talking cock among the guys for sure, cause thats what guys do.

Recently there was banner making for the Presidential visit. So people from different igs(interest groups, another name for cca) came down to design a banner to welcome the president for their ig.














Now....
Presenting the artistic talent of CANOE !



































































































































Well thats it for now... It's almost poker night and Batman: Dark knight is coming. Oohya! Here's a final pic for the rest. Where it makes fun of a common line used in canoe : PAIN IS GaIN!adieu to all! =)

Dream Personified

The clock is ticking,
Do you hear the tick tocks?
Its bearing down on everything,
C'mon lets perish those thoughts.

Nows not the time to retire.

Break that one way looking glass,
And make a death wish,
Because you go beyond the moment,
Creating the path with your two hands.

Don't forget to breathe.

Fill the thought in your mind,
Let the world around spin,
And surge forward with all your might,
Because this is the fight to save.

And because you save in order to fight.
-Dream's personification

Alright, the start of the week is here, and it beckons a training of the mind of body. I sit down looking at the joker card right in front of me, the music playing, like a clock ticking away, tick tock, tick tock. I feel the next level beckons upon me.

Time to climb that wall and jump off to whats beyond it. C'mon, what you waiting for? Push it to the next level. Mentally. Physically. I plan to do several things next week, train for 7 out of 7 days, create a new dish, acheive a new height in my physical performance. The clock is ticking, its time to become the monster in training. I like the power, the aggression, the stresses of life taken out in that hard core training. Thats my death wish, to push myself into overdrive.

Here's a photo of me, Catharine and Candy under one umbrella in the rain with a couple of canoe mates behind huddling under a wooden board which is supposed to be a danger sign. Heh, Thanks Jafir for the photo taking! =D Click on the photo to see it more clearly(It will be much bigger)















Alright, thats it for now... Next week, its going to be dream personified! I'm going to push it even more. Adieu to all!
-Kwan


Looking at my watch,
I think about my perished thoughts,
Where my choices break down,
In an evanescence of dreams.

Do you hear it ticking?

Don’t break the rhythm,
The wind is rushing by,
In your hair,
On your Face.

In your mind.
-Flight of senses.

Penchant for bacon

You know about the story below?
Where it floats down there,
Where he offers a baloon,
And gives that stare.

I don't take his offer.

Never reach in,
The drain is so dark,
Yet his face is white,
He smiles.

Don't put your hand in.
-The clown in the drain

Friday night! It was one long night... the poem is about the show I watched last night...Stephen King's "IT" Its been a while since I posted because I did not have alot of pictures, and I was lazy in the photo taking. Lets do a recap a little since the last post with the photos I've got.

Went to Sok Hiang's 21st, it was not bad, but I only had the mood to take the photos of the food recently... Heh. The following photos are the buffet spread, the cutlery and this interesting multi colored agar agar with a barbie doll in it.












































Also, went to Ben and Jerry's with Kenneth and Vanessa!














Here's kenneth with his botak hair cut! Hey NS BOY! He looks so "manly" with that bag...Haha, It's Van's.




























The decor was really nice... from the painting to the Lamp where there was ballet shoes designed on the base.











































Now going back to the most recent happening... Yi Shyan came over last night, So I cooked...we had spinach fettucine pasta with a vegetarian tomato based sauce.



















We went for a long walk after, going from the back roads of old holland road to jelita, then past sixth ave to holland V. Just us, two cans of light coke and the road =D














Yi Shyan had a craving for meat... since we had vegetarian... so we went to the cold storage to get bacon! Here's us in the kitchen... with her holding my cat...(It looks like its being tortured...) The bacon right next to us... Waiting to cook... to sizzle (I love the sound of bacon sizzling in the pan...mmm)






























We decide to do two types, a softer one which was more chewy, and the crispy type... (personally I love the crispy ones...It tastes so good!) This bacon was for our late night movie IT!














The killer clown that kills children! It can be freaky to watch, and since Yi Shyan's such a wuss, she was covering her face partially at certain times. It was 2am when the movie was over... And we were so drained. Ahhh, Friday night, pasta...walking...Light coke...Bacon...IT...Great lazy evening! =)

Thats it for now! Adieu to all!
