Its just another Bananaworld

Met my Chinese Orchestra teacher during the wedding. During an introduction to an overseas OSS CO friend, he introduced me as a pioneer of the alumni of the OSSCO.

I never see it that way. But since he commented it, it was worth a thought. Reflecting back on the years on helping the CO, i made lots of sacrifices and did some terrible choices. The outcomes of these years of supporting the CO, always came with a bittersweet return.

It is never a polished success, nor a complete failure.

I would always think of it as a continuing process towards a fruitful experience, because when i look back at the whole journey, it does looks like i have carved a name in CO, taking part in its proud history. But who am i to say that it credits all to me? It should be the other graduate members of OSS CO, that make it happen.

When i hear that the graduates of OSS CO doing well in academic, musically or in job wise, I just feel that they would reflect and maybe credit their success to OSS CO in molding their life. And perhaps feel the need to contribute back to the OSS CO.

OSS CO to me, is no longer a group of students playing music. It is a form of spirit. A camaraderie. A sense that binds the graduates together. Regardless of their contribution, it is to the spirit that they can uphold.

I don't know, maybe the other graduates don't feel the same, but i think we need to respect our roots. Know that they carve us to be who we are. The sweat, tears and joy are never forgotten.

Everytime when i stepped in a lift, and i asked the person who steps in with hands full of bags what level would they want me to press....

they always tell me, then press the button on their own.

Its just weird.


Not feeling 100% today, so i took some time off to rest at home. Its been a while since i took up dragonboating.



During the mentoring project, the chairperson stepped in and said..

"I have seen what i need to see. We will talk another time."

Deep thoughts now run through my head.

Started to clear up my University notes and some old secondary school books. My lil room will soon be doing a big shift with a cabinet soon to be moving out of the room.

Major changes, but still the same.

The window grills are removed, along with my air-conditioner moved now to the side rather than sticking in the middle of the windows. Now the room looks spacious and bright when i need the natural light.

Do note that the window grills are as old as me, they were the model that came with the HDB apartment, so it was quite a pain to see it removed. And a physical chore too! The grills did not fit the elevator, so my brother and i had to move it the manual labour way. Move it by the walking down stairs~

Ended up having a great workout.

The room is slowly changing, and i am looking forward to a new sofa bed!

Working for 3 months already. That is almost as long as we parted. I thought i could not last so long. But i still did it.

New expectations, new goals, new life to embrace.

I cannot just sit there and expect things to remain static.

Did some changes to my room, hopefully would give myself a new change too. Rearranged the furniture, added some stuff and removed some things.

It makes the room looks bigger, spacious.

I need more space, more time i guess.

Pardon if i behave unconnected, but i just feel like a spinning wheel gone loose. Would repair myself in due time.

For those who met up with me for the past few weeks, would realise that i got that i am getting more tanner by the weeks.

Thats because i got a new hobby: Dragonboating!

Yeah. Its kindna late to start this hobby because am sure people would have tried it for the past few years before. Have been trying this new sports and i realised that it gave me that extra boost to exercise harder (than running) and the workouts that they do are so intense it leaves me muscle aching at the end of the day.

Went for a race last week and realised that the feel in the race is really extraordinary, and it could be almost described as 'electrifying'! (Sounds like something from "Grease")

Lots of gears to get (like paddle bag, shades, etc), and hopefully i get to have a new sporty look that would differ from my past image.

And the best part of my weekend workouts? Is that it always leaves me with the positive feeling that would last me for the whole week till the next weekend rowing session. Without the rowing, it would leave me lethargic and tired during the working weekdays.

Hence, my goals are to get to know more people from the dragonboat team, learn new skills, have new goals in life and keep fit to at least not go for Remedial Training.

Went to Raffles Place today in a rush today for a rush job.

I ended up taking the MRT, that we always took. Cannot help but remember how it all feels. And it all feels so familiar. That warmth, sounds, feel...

And its only me this time.

I am worried that the memories will fade and i will forget. Wonder what will happen then? When i return to the places we went, will it be the same feeling?

Its been a hectic weekend last week.

Apart from dressing up for the Halloween party, i attended a dinner party (to open up my social network), partied till late @ the club and took lots of crazy pics...

Most of them are in my facebook account.


In party mode...


Being quite high and wailing my toy swords.

(Whats with Blogger's picture upload service? Is it good? Will try it out. If it kindna sucks, would change back to photobucket. Bear with me.)


I think i partied quite hard. Ended up with a tired body during the weekdays. But should be recovering for the intense weekend ahead.

And that would of course include my first dragon boat race~ If i can make it through the timings of course. Hope i would do well for this Saturday's individual timings to make it for the Sunday's race. More pictures of the race to appear soon!
