Quarter life crisis....

These are the longest hang-out friends i've ever have in my life... Best (and also worst) parts of my life spent with them...

Last time we used to hang out at Lot1 Mac, and now that everything there is changing, we relocated to...Wang Cafe!!! (just outside Lot1)

Alot has happened recently... quarter life crisis hitting me with dramatic career changes. All happened as quite a shocker. Alot of disappointments felt, seen through alot of faces, realities of life... And i thank God i still have these fellow friends around...

10 years we've known each other..they still do the same old gathering thingy. Nostalgia...

With the crisis hitting me non-stop, i seek peace and comfort with them. They don't have to say anything..but just be there and crack jokes, i felt 1000 times at ease and peace. Went over to Mitchell's place overnight for a few rounds of Mahjong, before heading to Penang later in the evening. Won $12!!! Alot came from Anthony...ahhaAHaha~~~* 13 "fans" i think? Treat him drink next time..haha~~

This is the photo of the sky i took while walking back home from Mitchell's place at 7am in the morning... Damn cool... reminds me of the days when i was still 18 years old and doing the same thing. Felt kinda different already, as this time ard, we've grown up, working in the society now, facing different challenges in life.

Hope this time, with the trip to Penang, my thoughts will be able to clear further, and when i come back, i will have decided how to move on with the directions best to be taken. Really Thank God for these friends, else i wouldn't have survived the mental stresses... (plus April's and Carine's pressence as well! Few of the greatest gal friends ever had =) Happy Birthday to April!!~~*~*~~*`` )

Display Band Competition 2008 (12 April, Saturday)

This was taken during the Band Competition 2008 actual day on 12 April, saturday. Just after Kumar had finished tuning the snare drums. Wow...my first ever Display Marching Band Competition was in 1998. And now its 2008. Once in 2 years, it is the 6th Band comp i've attended. It all feels like i have never left this Band..right at Teck Whye Lane.. So nostalgic...

Got a silver, but we went with pride and honour! Alot felt unfair, even other bands mentioned that we should have gotten at least a gold. However, i sincerely think that if our show was in 1998, a Gold is surely not a problem. We just didn't evolve with times... the formations, music pieces choosen, no climax...but it was a great showmanship of a TRUE BLUE singapore marching band! And we were complimented for being the only band still maintaining the singapore stylo, unlike others which are taking up an American drumcore-line (dcl) style.

2010, we'll be back with a vegence, and other bands will be taken aback by how we're gonna improve 1000times with the new generals (Dan and Kumar), who will take the lead! This is quoted ok? Not me who said this!

I'll be taking up Music Theory test this coming Nov, so as to path my way to becoming a band instructor. I realised that, one big roung i went and now, i want to be a Band instructor with the Band, and my life ends with it (if all else goes well.. ahahaa`~) Its all because of Kumar and Daniel lah....haiyo...i'll still be managing my Franchise trading biz (That's what i've been alive for). My Goals starts with Trading, and once financial freedom is attained, i'll move on towards My life-long vision and my life just ends with Band coaching. Both careers, is all about nuturing people. People development. Satisfaction is there... ;) I really admired Dan and Kumar for doing what they loved to do.. I'll be joining soon! 2010...
