Some updates
Sorry for the lack of updates. Have been tied up with far too many activities and things happening. Some brief updates over the last week. I shall try to summarise each day I talk about in 3 sentences, which can be tough for certain days. Heh.
Tuesday - Went for an informal and private BBQ gathering with some of my FSV coursemates (Caleb, Sofyan, Erez, Farhan, Annabelle, etc.) and their friends. Celebrated Farhan's brother's girlfriend when the clock struck twelve. Drank a little, stayed overnight and went home early in the morning.
Thursday - Went to Wala to hang out with some of the barflies/Plurkers (Jaywalk, Cow, TSSD, TK, Ruok, xiaobudian, FireAngel, MsV, vandalin, etc.) for drinks and music. Was enjoying myself until I saw someone I didn't need or want to see. Left just after midnight after that with my mood for the night rotten.
Friday - Went to Top One KTV for overnight KTV after work with some of the barflies (aloe, Gingerbreadman, Ginger, JayWalk, Mistress Grace, JasChocolate, JF). Walked into the KTV room when Ginger and GBM were singing 你最珍贵 and spent the rest of the night singing primarily emo songs (and some were actually songs picked by Jas for me -_-). Had breakfast with the other 3 survivors (aloe, Jas and JF) before heading home, feeling a bit weird cos I was actually not feeling emo for the entire night.
Saturday - Went to Heeren Spins to chill and was supposed to do some work, but ended up going for some light drinking with a couple of friends. Went back to Spins at 11+ to hitch a cab ride with a couple of the staff. Ended up spending the night out with a friend.
Sunday - Had a gathering organised by Adrian (my manager) after work, and attendees included all our branch's staff, staff from Adidas next door, and a few others. Took a train and ended up spending the night out with a friend again. Went home in the morning and promised mum not to stay out so often anymore. =/
Well, the last week has been a rollercoaster ride for me. I keep reflecting on lots of stuff and at times I just feel lost or down. But I'm already feeling much, much better and I shall work at not letting all these stuff get me down anymore.

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in lack of will."
- Vince Lombardi, Football Coach (1913-1970)
Knowledge can be seeked, strength can be attained with training. And will can be harnessed through various avenues, built, cultivated. But many don't realise or acknowlege that fact, and simply let themselves slump into depression or failure.
I have been guilty of that as well, but I shall work at it. I shall learn and master steeling my will and persevereing to get to where I want to be.
I hope you can do the same as well. =)
