==================Last blogpost of 2009 *============================ i looked into the mirror and did some reflections ^ so, looks like i'm gonna be 16 next year? well its great man, i mean you learn and mature as you age. I remember in the book *tuesdays with Morrie* the author wrote that people in the 40s always said " if only i was 25..", " if only i was 19 again" and you know what this means? unfulfilled lives, they want to go back to relive that year, to make up for things that they didn't do, chances they missed, and things lost. it kinda struck me that making each day count was so important, because you're sure that everyday is the day you're proud of, instead of waking up each morning and can't remember whether it was a wednesday or friday. As for me, for year 2009, its the year that made me learn, made me experience stuff i didn't get to, made me endured hardships, made me persevere. 1st, i got it straight, i remembered at the start of the year y'all were getting irritated because almost all my posts are about being in 3J and i ranted how i hated it. But now i laughed, i laughed because now i realized how foolish i was! so what if i'm in a class where everyone doesn't make that much fun? its alright, i accept it, in a class, we have lessons together and i'm glad that i'm one of them in class 3J. Its like learning how to embrace and forgive, you have to take a step back, change your mindset, see things differently. So what if we lack fun? we can make it all the same :d 2nd, 2009 is the year which i made new friends! :D THATS THE THING. when one sense weakens another arises. i felt lonely in 3J, before. This actually made me cherish all my friends beside me although they're not in my class. i look forward being the first to step out of 3J and step in 3I to look for the prince charming haha. And through joining the band, the subsequent process made me feel valued because i'm part of it. Made new friends through it, hugged them and the next thing i know we're together buying lunch or heading to the basketball court together. Thats what i mean ;P And 2009 is the year i came so close with death, for the first time. Ever since my beloved grandmother left me almost 5 months ago, i've been thinking so much for everyday in the 5 months, i stared into the deep turquoise sky and i wondered whether she's up there looking over me, everytime when its time to burn incense paper i'll make a wish to my grandmother, that is : please like me see you again. Its that form of pain i've never experience before. Its like bitter saddness and at the same time fear. Before i know it it just happened, overwhelmed, unexplained. its just not fair, why at this time? i know, fairness doesn't govern life and death. But i';m not at all prepared or even dare think about it. i'm scared of this issue, so i run away from it. But before i realise it, it found me. through this incident i've matured a hell damn lot. , understood the true meaning of true love from a kin. Alright now i've have it, experience it, i wanna say its just too much for me, i'm just a boy. Deep in my heart, there's always a place for my grandmother, always collating images of her feeding me. And right now on this page, i wanna say it to whoever, please give me one more chance to be with my grandmother, be it 5 seconds, 5 mins or 50 mins. I'll cherish with a whole heart. And of course, 2009 is a year that gave me the chance to enjoy music, especially great pieces of music from great musicians of all time, be it federic Chopin, F. Liszt, beethoven or schumann, or modern pianists such as Maksim, Lang Lang and Li Yundi, its a piece of inspiration , a piece of history, a surge of passion, a burst of love. Love, takes on many forms, its different for everyone, but i think its mad, i can't explain it, and i can't control it, its like river, it keeps on flowing love for a person- strongest human feeling on earth i know, for the past year there were ups and downs, but to me its just it i'll keep my share of love for you deep down there, maybe its not expressed But people do say that the most valuable form of love is the love you want from someone. so yeah, cheers up! And 2009, is the year when i became obsessed with sneakers! Thanks to KOBE for his aspirations and inspirations to me, for both basketball and zoom kobe 4, right next i'm going to use my pay for ZOOM KOBE 5 BABY! debuts at nike flagship store on 16th Jan 2010 and i think i'm gonna camp on the 15 th :D Alright many thanks to all of you who made this year count, thanks to year 2009 And now, i'm ready for 2010. Monday, December 28, 2009 hey guys, sorry if i haven really done a good post that's meaningful to you all or something, because i'm going back to class soon and i've picked up some study materials from the bookshop today, so yeah was mugging *CHEMISTRY* last night till i hear birds chipping. wait, Birds chipping? Ah whatever LOL anw before 2010 comes i will do a good blog post right here, right in front of you, about my thoughts for 2009, big ideas i had, resolutions for next year and etc. But till the end i still, and will hold to one of my principles, thats is always cherish your moments and make each day count~ Hope y'all still remember my "Carpe diem" post haha. and recently i touched a great piece of classical music by Liszt, Liebrestraum 3 its really great i mean, when im done maybe i will put a video here for y'all guys. Chhhyeah! "everyday, when i sleep, i die. the next morning, when i wake up, i am reborn." ~M. Ghandi. Oh. btw, go KOBE!

For those who are able to give love will be loved (: For those who had made sacrifices for the past year i'm proud to say that you made the right choice For those who people who have someone in your heart but fear that saying that 3 words will ruin the relationship, detach, its just fear right? And for those who made it a point to wish you a merry merry christmas of the year '09, i thank you very much, especially to those whom i did not reply, i had y'all on my mind so yeah, chhyeah!

I love him for his Music, for his movies, for his character, for inspiring me to pick up piano, for emphasizing that Filial Piety is a must have condition when you find Boyfriends/Girlfriends And i wanna thank him for everything. i Grew up listening to his music, watching his MVs and movies, i remembered listening to one of his songs Jian dan Ai, Dong Feng Po etc when i was like P5 or P6 and now being almost sec 4 when i listen the song again, it will always stir up something in my heart, with that special feeling <3 so yeah, Just for an comparison, for those hard core Michael Jackson fans, i'm the same with all of ya, only that i love Jaychou *~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ This is it! so many reporters camping there for the past 1 hour just to take a shot at Jaychou and Chiling ***** Merry Christmas!

I'm definitely going to buy the $198 ticket again :D -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-====-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ohya, i'm thinking of making a youtube video, like a mix of shoes, piano pieces, and Jaychou (; Alright now i have to do my thesis essay already~! Cheeryuh! Friday, December 18, 2009 Zoom kobe V i was reading *Tuesdays with Morrie* yesterday and there was a chapter on marriage. if i'm not wrong, which is about people who go after status, the network, money and those people who spent money on this and that and when you meet them they will be like hey did i told you about blah blah which i bought ... And Morrie, in the book came up with a possible explanation "that those are people who desire to be loved so they are using materials as substitudes for love, and when they buy something they expect some sort of hug back" So, why do i like shoes so much? 7pairs, and the number is still growing..... to me, its...i mean i have 2 pairs of kobes, one gold medal and a playoff pack, its just..Ok behind these kobes, there's a story, a commitment, an inspiration. For kobe, he wants his shoe to truely be his and all the small details of The shoe is from Kobe's proffession, childhood, achievements, birthdate etc. SO what i'm trying to say is that to me , its the passion, the love and the pride that's within, and of course, confidence. Kobe, for the record, scored 61 points in Madison Square, with the del sol zoom kobe 4s, so i mean its an honour, because you share his achievements. *sorry if all these doesn't make any sense to you, my words will only matter to you if you understand and care about me* Oh btw, Love for a person- The strongest human feeling on earth. Wednesday, December 16, 2009 haha my current zk4s (: anyway, just a short update today. First things first, i wanna talk about Kobe Bryant (nope it wont bore you, just a few sentences) He broke his index finger during a game 3 days ago, but yet he pulled off with 42 points with a injured finger yesterday in the game with Chicago bulls, thats what so special about him haha. And next about work! haha work was slack today, like maybe 2 customers per hour? lol! so i spent the rest of the time reading *Tuesdays with morrie* heheh. Tmr i have to go down to the shop at shaw in orchard from 10am to 6pm because its really busy down there with all the new stocks coming in. Hais and Supposely Dawei is going to work with me tmr but now he's down with stomach fever ): get well soon buddy.. Oh anyway, i will talk more on *tuesdays with morrie* when i get back from work tmr or something. its truely inspiring. And btw i'm going down to the nike flagship store at Wisma atria to check on new kicks, i wanna see whether the air max lebron 7 has a size 12 and is there any new colour ways on zoom kobe 4. haha when i get my pay, you know where i'm heading to xD OH! and Jaychou is coming to plaza Sing next tuesday, who wanna come with me? @ the tag box thanks/ On the side note, have you ever wondered how a lightning is formed? i got it from Discovery Channel this morning before i went to work, so i think its like this : During a thunderstorm, raindroplets form bigger droplets or even hail before they fall to the ground, and in that process it goes through a few million collisions with air particles/water molecules in the air, this knocks a electron off from the water molecule in the hail/big raindrop, this results in the rain/ice falling onto earth being positively charged and the water vapour in the clouds being negatively charged. And what happens next is that static lighting on the ground may jump and when their path crosses with that of a negative charged molecule, the large amount of eenergy is released and large amounts of energy within the clouds travel down to earth through the lightning path which is formed. And most of the people who die after being struck by lightning is because of a heart attack stimulated by the discharge of electical pulses which keep the heart beating, by the lightning. 90 percent of the lightning does not actually travel through people, they travel around them. Its better to get your skin charred than your insides haha. Did you guys have a good day today? If you always wanted to go back to the past, it implies that you did not have a good day, did not fulfil your small little dreams, not contented, and you want to go back to finished what you didn't earlier. i will end here today, i'm sorry it this is a little boring haha. Have you learnt something from this little blog? Tuesday, December 15, 2009
I Miss Michael* 1st day at work today! i guess it was really good, i mean its fun and you dont really get tired down there haha. First of all, i wanna talk about "Carpe Diem" familiar? Carpe diem is actually latin which means "seize the day" or "make each day count" Oh, by the way, it is pronounced as "car-pee-di-em" haha. so whats so special about it? To me, it is everything. All the details in life, the small and big ones that you may have overlooked, or have been still gleaming over it until now. Carpe diem, so yeah, in simpler words, it simply calls you to appreciate, especially people around you, things you love, and of course your life. Have you ever glanced out of your window and looked at the green scenary, the buzzing city, the blue and sometimes dyed red sky like as if you are looking at it for the first time? haha and with that you have to appreciate and put more meaning into your life. everyone has a tendency to take things for granted and only regretting it after they lose it. Thats too bad! There are many many occasions where both you, and me had came face to face with a choice, a decision to make, and i hate that most. because even when you take into consideration the consequences of it, you cannot tell which is really the best. And thats the thing, whatever that comes to you, i guess for me i have to have the courage to face it, i've tried avoiding but till the end the problem finds you. Always remember, cherish the choice you make, the oppotunity you have, the shoe you have, so that you can "make each day count", because for me, i've missed it, i've ran away from choices because i didn't have the courage to face it, but now i wanna keep track of every single detail around me :D === jingle bells, jingle all the way!=== i miss michael, nobody else can take his place, nobody else can make up for the emptiness in the hearts of his fans, but i know one thing for sure that his contributions to the world will be remembered, and thanked for. =We wish you a merry christmas, we wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year!= (for people not interested in basketball shoes like you, please kindly ignore the post below) Alright, i think this part of the post is the most exciting to me* Right now, i am going to introduce, to you guys, the official release image from Nike, The New Zoom Kobe 5 What's different from my current zoom kobe 4 is that, it has a lower cut, for being a basketball shoe. Haha, high tops and mid cuts ain't really my style cause they kinda restrict ankle movement when you cut corners lol. ANyway, it has a double zoom air, one compartment in the front and another in the heel sole. Likewise it uses the Nike flywire technology, carbon fibre, external tpu for support. Well i think whats so special about the zk4 and zk5, is that it kinda allow your feet to not glide inside, i mean if you are wearing a converse sneaker, and for me for example i do a reverse layup, and following that is the landing (on my right foot first) i land on my heels, and whats going to happen next is that your toes will immediately slam onto the ground. ok sorry i'm going to stop here, im trying to keep the post short because, scientifically proven, an average person only has about 3 minutes of full concentration before your eyes wander off. *ahah i gotcha! Have a great night guys! Tuesday, December 8, 2009 i know, you've missed someone before, so you call'em up, text them, hear their voice, to find comfort in their company. But, what if, you miss someone, but she's already in another world... you cant hear her voice, you cant tell her how much you miss her, what's left for you is nothing but find her in your memories. But love goes on, it never ceases, death ends a life, not a relationship. Saturday, December 5, 2009 This Is It, My 5 idols (in no order of appearance) He will always be my idol, for inspiring me since i was young, for giving me his music of all time. Honestly, i went for my first piano lesson straight after i watched his movie 'secret' back in 2007. I just love him haha. He not only inspired me, but i learnt from him that filial piety stands no. 1 of all And guys, follow me here, listen you got to watch this video because it will, it will move you to tears. In his concert his mum made a special guest appearance which made lzx cry. Because when he held his first concert his dad passed away and for that concert lzx saved a seat for his dad, and for his second concert his mum fell sick x: Ahh just watch this video i'm not doing a talk show. Alright. You-Know-who, the greatest MJ. He was such a giver, such an inspirational character who was deeply misunderstood. His music will live on forever, his legacy will continue to shine and leaves you forever warmed by its afterglow. haha the only one who can par with MJ (the living one)well, let the video do the talk, Honestly guys, you have to watch this amaxing shot, it won't kill to spend a few 30 seconds to be in awe. Haha Maksim Mrvica,the prince of piano, another great great hot guy who inspired and taught me to perservere in my 3 hours practice of piano each day. And if you guys have/know where to get the piano score for this piece New World Concerto, please contact me sitong-s@hotmail.com. or @ the tagbox to your left thanks. ALright. I knew it. For those of you having problems with internet and cant load any of the videos above, i'm sorry, its my fault. Its just classic, i wanted to share with you guys out there. Haha on the side note, Devote yourself into loving someone, Devote yourself to the community, devote in doing something that puts purpose and meaning into your life. Thank you for your time (: |
