Such a long time since i blogged!
Anyway, I enlisted on April 13:) Sch 1, Falcon Coy!! (I am proud to be a Falconian:D Wee!)
Army life is generally fun ;) My Ncc experience really did help me to tide through certain difficult times :)Oh well:D It is good to note that Field Camp - just completed - was in fact quite meaningful and nice learning experience.
I shall keep this post short anyway...
This was one of the songs that kept me through "stand two" - a 30-60 minutes worth of backaching...
"We Are Lasallian"
We Are Lasallian - SPS PSB
And I just found "Hail Hail Alma Mater" online!
Hail to De La Salle -
I did not know that there is a rock and roll version of "Hail Hail Alma Mater"
Alma Mater(Rock and Roll) - DLSU
And I found this "Go La Salle!"
Go La Salle! -
And here is "I'll Rather Be Green than Be Blue!"
IdRatherBGreenThanBblue - DLSU
Kamusta na mga 'tol kapwa kong Lasalista
Year 2005, di ka pa rin nag-iba
ang galing mong pumorma, bolero pa rin
Ngunit bilib ako sa layo nang iyong nagawa
Di gaya nang iba. satsat lang nang satsat
Pagdating sa basketball wala namang binabat
Dribble nang dribble dinaman maka-shoot
Sa Strike lang ni paeng buhok nila'y kukuloot
If i want to leave my whole life again
I'm still want to be a lasalista parin
Bayaran man ako i wanna still stay to you
i'd rather be green than be blue
Mahirap daw magmahal nang syota nang iba
Yan ang Sabi sa awitin nang tatlong matanda (Ewan)
Beauty queen, Model napapalingon
Lasalista lang pala ang tanging hilig nila
Kawawa naman ang mga iba dyan
Nagtutulong-tulungan, di naman yumayaman
Manager, chairman, presidente daw sila
Ngunit LaSalista ang mayari nang Kumpanya
If i want to leave my whole life again
I'm still want to be a lasalista parin
Bayaran man ako i wanna still stay to you
i'd rather be green than be blue
Wag mo kong subukan that's what erap said
Di naman siya uurungan ni Ms. Gorayeb
Mga Loyalista daldal nang daldal
Wag kang magtataka kung bakir binaril si rizal
(Oo nga non! binaril ano?
Eh bakit nga ba?
Atenista kasi)
Mestiso man o hindi, pandak man o kirat
Pagdating sa entertainment lasalista'y angat
Mega star, gold star, star for all seasons
Lasalista lang pala ang hinahanap nila
Si gary, si Randy at si mega-mel
ilan lang sa dami ng Lasalistang sikat
Si Michael De Mesa, si Cocoy Laurel
Pati na si mike enriquez kilala ng lahat (mike: pasok!)
If i want to leave my whole life again
I'm still want to be a lasalista parin
Bayaran man ako i wanna still stay to you
i'd rather be green than be blue (Mike: sige mga manong)
If i want to leave my whole life again (My whole life again)
I'm still want to be a lasalista parin (i'd rather be green yeah)
Bayaran man ako i wanna still stay to you
i'd rather be green than be blue
Bayaran man ako i wanna still stay to you
i'd rather be green than be blue
Here is translation from Filipino to English from Google's translator!
Kamusta na mga 'tol both to Lasalista
Year 2005, you still varied
ang galing mong pumorma, bolero still
Bilib but I've made a big difference
Not like others. gib gib only
In basketball wala namang binabat
Dribble the dribble to shoot dinaman
Strike the hair only by Paeng nila'y kukuloot
If i want to leave my whole life again
I'm still want to be a lasalista parin
Man pay me i want you to stay still
I'd rather be green than be blue
Mahirap daw cosset sweetheart of others
Ie to say the troll three adult (Ewan)
Beauty queen, Model napapalingon
Lasalista lang pala is the only interests they
Kawawa naman ang mga iba dyan
Collaborators share, di naman yumayaman
Manager, chairman, president daw sila
But LaSalista the mayari Company
If i want to leave my whole life again
I'm still want to be a lasalista parin
Man pay me i want you to stay still
I'd rather be green than be blue
Wag mo I test that's what Erap said
Di naman siya uurungan by Ms. Gorayeb

Wag kang magtataka if bakir binaril si rizal

Eh bakit nga ba?

Hybrid or not, short or deformity
In entertainment lasalista'y lift

Goodness!
All I can say now is that... In this season of Merry, Joy, Fun and Laughter, we should always open our eyes to those who are suffering out there. There are many people who would have wanted to...
eat like what we throw after an x-mas meal
drink like the used water in a bath...
but they don't get to.
Spare a little thought and help these people, and I'm sure you would have made X-Mas and the New Year even more Merry and Happy for more people on Earth:)
I wish everybody out there! Especially to people whom I somehow did not have the chance to wish, a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :)
Cheerios!

*Legacy here is meant in trivial, myopic and simple terms.
One teacher said this to me before, "without you, alot of what is today would not have been realised".
[But yeah, I also know that I have my fair share of failures and mistakes too :( And in any success, it is usually not a one-man show, but rather a team effort:)]
I am glad I have a good impact factor:)
[Though being dedicated to my CCAs has always been at the expense of my studies and personal time, I still feel that at the end of the journey it was all still worth everything sacrificed :)]
Today, I conincidentally met two groups of people at Serene Centre:)
1) SJI Drama Club members together with their director Geraldine recieving a treat (reward for serving well at Kindred Spirits 08) from Mr Alan Johnson (the teacher-in-charge).
I remembered...
In 03, I was a simple stage crew. We achieved a mere Certificate of Participation @ SYF. It was so demoralising for the entire crew. (We learnt alot...)
In 04, I was lead actor for "Red", a play which we won two awards @ a drama competition. We went on to perform for Kindred Spirits and that demanded a new and improved version. I remember the numerous occasions that I gave my seniors so much problems! But they, George, Ramu, Gareth, Daniel and many others never gave up on me:) We put up a great show in the end:) (I learnt never to give on up anyone...)
In 05, I was made the lead actor for "Kites" until... an incident happend. It concerned my commitment level, and it happened that I was not able to commit to my role. It was between live-firing @ NCC and rehersal. I had to choose the former (after all my frst CCA was NCC) and that changed my role in the play. I became 2nd casting, also helping Jeffrey - the director - at stage management. At the end, we attained silver:) A great improvement from 03:)
(From then, I learnt not to toy with my plate. To try not to eat more than I can chew. But even till today, I have not learnt how to juggle my commitments very well. Not so wise guy after all? It is always a dilemma I have to face. With so many passions I want to pursue, how do I discern and choose given that I have limited time?)
End of 05, I was elected President of club. It was my second CCA. I felt it was a little unfair to my members since I was also Sec 4 I/C for NCC (Land), EXCO for Marcian House, Senior Prefect @ PB, LLTC Facilitator and ACE Leader... I knew I had to plan my time better, so that a recurrence of 05 incident would not happen again. Then, it became a different issue. It was between CCA and Studies, and the latter had to give way.
(My goal at Drama Club was to make it a CCA that would be respectable in SJI and the larger community in future.)
In 06, together with the entire club, we made a difference:)
Today, the results have shown:) Gold at SYF07 and a greatly commended play, "Out of Order" earlier in 08:) Though I never thought what I did at the Club would ever translate to today's successs, I somehow knew the club would be great after I leave:) Now I can safely confirm that this legacy would be here to stay:D
[However, all of these could not have been done without everyone else. It was a concerted effort by the club to make it the way it is today.]
I met them today and I told them, "No less than Gold with Honours for 09". I believe they can do it because they are a truly capable bunch of people. Definitely better than I was at my time:)
2) A group of MOE OSRB division staff having AAR:)
I shall not elaborate much about this one:) [maybe when I have the time to, I would share my reflections aboyt my attachement at MOE during the 07 nov-dec holidays :)]
So well:) I also hope to leave a legacy at NYJC:) I know it can be done, but it would be tough. All will have to start from the council coupled with the management and staff:) Concerted effort via staff and students is crucial:)
A school culture & spirit however, must be built over and across batches. I guess I will have to see how I can help synthesize things together and build upon what has been established by the 30th and 29 batches before:) [of course... all of these after the exams!:)]
Oh wells! Back to work=)
Jia You everybody!

Here is my favorite lasallian song:) Written by Benjamin Tan, 92:)
We Are Lasallian - SPS PSB
Always give me faith:)
Here is another one:) Started in 2006!
St. Joseph's Call
Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer
Our mater's call
From the four proud houses of St. Josephs
~ CHORUS ~
St. Joseph's, St. Joseph's
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll heed St. Joseph's call
From the flaming red of Michael
To the yellow burst of Lawrence
From the green of Marcian
And Fintan blue
From the four proud houses of St. Joseph's
~ CHORUS ~
Hearts of steel
And heads unbowing
Vowing never to be broken
We will fight, until we
Can fight no more
From the four proud houses of St Joesph's
~ CHORUS ~
A few quotes to go by:
Yeow Jian Hao: You can take a boy out of SJI, but you can't take SJI out of a boy
An SJI old boy: Josephians can eat and talk comfortably with anybody, prince or pauper.
SJI: Once A Josephian, Always a Josephian

细水长流:)
年少时候谁没有梦
无意之中你将心愿透露
就在你生日的时候我将小小口琴送
最难忘记你的笑容
友情的细水慢慢流流进了你我的心中
曾在球场边为你欢呼你跌伤我背负
夜里流星飞渡想象着他日的路途
晚风听着我们壮志无数
年少时候谁没有愁
满腔愤慨唯有你能听得懂
每当我失意的时候你将那首歌吹奏
琴声悠悠解我情愁
岁月的细水慢慢流流到了别离的时候
轻拍你的肩听我说朋友不要太惆怅
霓虹纵然再嚣张我们的步履有方向
成败不论切莫将昔日遗忘
多年以后又再相逢
我们都有了疲倦的笑容
问一声我的朋友何时再为我吹奏
是否依旧是否依旧
岁月的细水慢慢流流到了别离的时候
轻拍你的肩听我说朋友不要太惆怅
霓虹纵然再嚣张我们的步履有方向
成败不论切莫将昔日遗忘
多年以后又再相逢
我们都有了疲倦的笑容
问一声我的朋友何时再为我吹奏
是否依旧是否依旧
人生的际遇千百种但有知心长相重
人愿长久水愿长流年少时候
Enjoy the song:)

Till this age, I have experienced the 2nd departure of a close kin.
Well, I can't do much, just hope and pray that everything will be fine for the family, especially my Da Sao.
Things happen, can happen, and will happen.
Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
So yeah, don't ever expect nothing to go wrong? Just be prepared to face any sort of setback or challenges/obstacles that come in your way.
Yup:) I am glad I do feel this way... It shows I am still a guy with emotions and feelings in this dog-eat-dog world.
To all readers, treasure your family, kinds, friends and whoever that you have been missing out on? I guess you will never know when it will be the day you can never get to do that? In the pursuit for success, I guess I would have failed if I have achieved all the material aspects in life and not the intangibles like my relationships with parents, siblings and so forth.
Most importantly... Treasure your Life:)
For those who pray, pray hard
For those who work, work hard
For those who play, play hard
For those who sleep, sleep well
In whatever you do, give in your best shot:)
Yeah!:)
Cheerios!
