While the whole world celebrates the Olympics Opening in China, Singaporeans should also celebrate these two special days.. 08.08.08 and 09.08.08
Why 08.08.08?
1. Toto 8 million draw
Hmmz.. I’m not a gambler though the prize is so attractive. Today, YES933 blasted the full version of 招财进宝 at 08:08:08am and 09:09:09am. 8 million is like so a lot..yet, a super far figure that I cant reach. What will you do if you won the 8 million dollars? If I really won that 8 million, I will be lost.
2. F.I.R. Concert
It’s F.I.R. Concert and Jam is their guest for the concert.
Why 09.08.08?
1. National Day - Our Nation’s 43rd Birthday
Who is celebrating National Day with us?
Yahoo.com.sg - the full red layout really shocked me in the first place as this is my first time seeing Yahoo going RED.

Since National Day falls on a saturday, schools will celebrate National Day on friday, which is today. This day, I was trying to have my beauty sleep until 9am. But the school near my house was celebrating national day. Not that I object celebration of national day, but the noise produced by the school was really irritating(not to mention the school name). Instead of celebrating national day in the hall, this school had the celebration at the parade square.. under the hot sun.. Normally for national day, first start of the programme will be those uniform groups marching to the parade square..singing of national anthem, pledge, recollection.. and then will proceed to the hall for further activities - like those sing-along session.
Ok.. if this school’s practise of singing those national day songs is at the parade square.. it’s still fine with me..perhaps it’s their tradition. Blasting the speaker and waking up the whole neighbourhood may seem to be inconvenient to the residents.. Ok..I’m still fine with that since it’s like one year one time.
BUT…
Can you imagine a school… celebrating National Day… by singing GIRLFRIEND early in the morning.. with those rock band music..electric guitar strumming etc.. Can you stand people shouting to the mic singing “” early in the morning when residents are still sleeping?? somemore.. IT’S NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATION… How does “Hey hey you you I dont like your girlfriend” related to National Day??
Alright.. jokes aside.. Wishing Singapore HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!
Thought of sharing you something really very touching. I cried after watching the video clips especially the first clip at 4:40. A lot of thoughts running in my mind. These two video clips show this 5 yr old girl who is blind when she was born.
However, she was given the talent to play the piano after listening to the music once. This tells us that life may not be as worse as what we think. When God takes away something from us, He will give us the better in return.
At any point of our life, when we think that our life is the worst, it may not be. The worst has to come before the best to arrive. Hope these two videos can always remind you during your darkest times.
Time really flies so fast that it is already JULY! :SCREAM:
Before I continue to blog about my life during July 2008, let me wrap up what I’ve blogged in the month of June. In June, I started to open up this category called “Animals”. I have been posting entries about animals and you can see that in a month, I got like.. 6 animal entries?
Chi-Teh Bing, the little kitten’s 9D8N stay over at my house. The little kitten was found in NUS campus and was abandoned by his mother. A group of students took him in and took care of him. I’ve also made a video of all the photos I have with my singing clip. (http://www.simplyjas.com/blog/2008/06/06/chi-teh-bing/)

You will definitely go “oohing and aahing” when you see these three baby ferrets in a cup sleeping. They are so cute when they cuddle together. The photos are actually taken from flickr.com. (http://www.simplyjas.com/blog/2008/06/28/the-love-for-ferrets/)

I got to blog about animals when my life is so boring that I stopped myself from blogging about my uninteresting life. But at least, in the month of June, I have 1 entry about my life! =)
Finally despite my busy schedule, I managed to meet up with some long-time-no-see friends. It was really great to chill out with them especially I’ve been working for quite some time. Need some fresh air thou. (http://www.simplyjas.com/blog/2008/06/17/great-reunion-with-friends/)

Besides blogging about animals and my life, I’ve also posted two of my singing clips that I’ve recorded online.
Last saturday, had a short meet up with char bo Claris at PS. The last time we met each other was 3 months ago at our CCA concert. We shared a plate of Pastamania’s pasta and had a quick catch up about our lives. After dinner, we went to Pet Lover’s Centre to see hamster. The hamsters there were so cute, cuddling together, eating, yawning. Anyway, I’ve decided to get myself a hamster. When I was in Secondary school, I bought 2 couple hamsters. They reproduced 8 babies but the mother ate 5 away. In the end, I’ve left 3 baby hamster. Then, they reproduced again and that was the time I bought one more cage to separate the male and female. I felt ashamed of myself as I did not really take care of my hamster. Last time, I really had a hard time to take care of many hamsters. Provided, I was still young and didnt really know how to take care of hamster. In the end, I just gave up on them. I feel remorseful about my act. I was still young, and didnt have much responsibility to take care of the hamsters. It was then, i started to lose interest in taking care of them. Now, this will not be my impulsive buy.
I’ve already have an idea of what hamster I’m getting. This is definitely not my impulsive buy. I already thought of getting one female, white dwarf hamster. And this is enough. I’ve also thought of the name for my hamster. Scouffle, Sophie, Snowball.
But, even if I want a hamster, I need to overcome one obstacle - my mum. She objects me from getting hamster as it is troublesome, dirty etc.. She like Teh Peng so much that she rather have Teh Peng than my hammie. (Ok, I will talk more about hamster in my next post.)
After meeting with Claris, went to service. On the way to meet Claris earlier the day, I received a call from Jenn Yang that he will be coming for service. I’m so glad that he nodded often many times of persuasion. This would be our 4th year not seeing each other. I’m really glad knowing him during my first 3 mths. It was a daring move from me that we can now call friends. JY was with me during my down days and encouraged me throughout my darkest time a few years back. He inspired me, He encouraged me. He really encouraged me a lot 4 years back. He was the one who who witness how i fell and he was the one who lent his hands to me during my stormy days. Luckily we did not lose contact. And I’m really really grateful that he is my friend.
My little reflection: Actually, I do not have any desire for any BG relationship. I would rather build on my sisters’ and brothers’ relationships and relationship with God.
Sunday [15 June 2008]
When i was preparing myself to meet Claris again to PC Show, Collin called me for lunch. In the end, we end up going PC Show together. Tell you.. the place was really packed!! Not only was Suntec City, but the City Link too.. Gosh.. And I got almost irritated when people suddenly stop halfway (without giving any cue) and talk to their friends or look at the advertisements. Please go to the cafe if you really want to talk..
Guess what I bought after all squeezing with the crowd? Of all things, ink cartridge… Ya. This is stupid of me getting ink cartridge(such a small item) at computer fair. After we bought our things, we went pet station to see hamster again before going Swensen to have our ice cream.
In the end, I got a little “lecturing” by Claris and Collin. They told me to be optimistic, dont think of how people look at me etc.. Really hope to get out of this dilemma. I just hate this..
I ought to stop the negative thoughts in my mind and move on with life. But it seems like I’m taking way too long..
