天使心肠的平凡人

在这个春暖花开的午后，是大家期待已久的公共假日，并也是许多人的生日。
今天是‘威力’的生日。

不久前，因为课外活动的关系，我更加认识这个朋友，威力。他的出现，似乎常改变他周围朋友的品质。虽然长相平平，但性格却开朗随和， 谈吐大方。幽默风趣的他，在工作上具有责任心，在私底下有帮助他人的无私品质和能力。尽管工作繁忙，他也总是有求必应，为了他人，无私地奉献自己的一切。你也许觉得这个男孩很傻，但试问，是他无私还是你自私？

我们为何不是这样呢？就真的不能对朋友做到真正的“无私”，赴汤蹈火在所不辞吗？也许人性本私吧。 在具体的环境下，的确也做过为朋友的付出，不求回报的付出，但心中总是留着“我曾帮过他”的念头。 朋友是我们每个人身边都不可缺少的人，我们需要朋友，就像鱼需要水。开心的时候想和朋友分享，难过的时候想找朋友分担。但有的时候，我们的坦诚相待换来的却是被利用。

每当考试或交project时，我须面对心里的天魔：这些某某朋友是否在利用我呢。他的影子就会浮现在我脑海里。在他的影响下，我也学到很多待人处事的道理。回想，至少我还有利用的价值吧！勇敢面对一切，一笑而过，这样你会变得成熟。这只是生活中的一个小小的坎坷，你要面对的还有很多。这并不算什么！以后交朋友要认清再用心交，还有要对朋友做到问心无愧。你可以被利用第一次， 但不可以被利用的二次。 这是你做朋友的底线。

此时此刻，他的存在让我感激万分。虽然我们知道未来的路很苛刻，但是有他的相随，这条路一定会好走些。。。

我的好友，威力： 生日快乐!


有趣事： 这真的是天意吧！

会傻傻被朋友利用的星座第1名： 金牛座 － 呆傻、单纯

金牛座内在是很讲求义气的，如果有一个人声泪俱下跟金牛座讲，因为金牛座自己是不跟人求助，所以如果有人跟他求助，他会觉得说：「你一定是被逼到绝境了才求助，我要好好地帮你。」那么他就会傻傻地，帮那个人去拼命去做。

my first entry in chinese:)

moving on

things have changed dramatically ever since year 2011 has started. sometimes i wonder what makes me changed my goals. disappointment? despair? i know that things will never be the same again no matter how hard i have tried to salvage it.

i have left the student council, the place where i have placed all my hopes. yes i am emotional and is real bad at hiding things or expressions. from my facial expression, you will know when things go wrong. i know this is bad. but it beats being a hypocrite. i have to admit, there were great moments and wonderful times during this 1.5 years.

shortly, a similar concept to council appears, AIESEC (in short, @). i decided to give it a go, to pick up where i have fallen. i was allocated to the talent management department (something like HR). surprisingly, my VP TM, landa has similar qualities and charisma to my events head, kaili. the moment i saw her, memories came alive. perhaps its fate.

one good thing about @ is that it bonds all the @-ers in NUS, NTU, SMU, SIM and @-ers internationally. i went to the conference and it was astonishing. they had mass dances. they had delegates from all over the world joining this conference. we had speakers from Fish N Co, Butter Factory, 3M etc to give us insights on how to improve ourselves in many aspects. we also had case challenge whereby we analyzed the current situation of certain companies, then developed solutions and presented to the respective company HR team. i was allocated to PwC while some of my friends were with Fish N Co and Young NTUC. 2 of my team members were from my LC (local chapter - means SIM @-ers), 1 from indo and another from japan! though we didn't win it, we gained valuable insights.

soon after, there came PBoX (Project Based on eXchange). after being induced to run for the positions, i was selected to be VP Events for PBoX. thankfully, my good friends were in the team as well. we soon started on doing proposals, having meetings and meeting corporates. this is when i missed council. perhaps LCsim is new, hence there isn't a system to follow. whereas council has been established for a long while. there are good and bad points in both though. but since i have chosen to be with @, i need to learn to adapt.

things were getting more challenging as everyone of us were moving towards project seasons and soon, exams. i had a huge mental breakdown then. it was too much to handle. problems were addressed and solutions were suggested. however, exam dates were pressing hard on us. the OC (organizing committee) hence decided to complete whatever we were needed to, before taking a break from @ for exams.

and now, exams are over for all of us. a lot of things are still in the gray area and yet to be cleared. this hints for a busy holiday season.

the last lap

finally exams are over.

this sem was the most disorganized sem i ever been through. perhaps its the change of environment. hopefully i can scrap past this sem (oh yes!).

realized that i haven been updating for very long...
soon:) shall update bit by bit:)

Box!

didnt intend to go out at night initially but that silly boy came to my house downstairs to spring me a surprise with an empty and starving stomach! instead of food, he had gotten a cold shoulder as i was totally occupied with work. still, he waited patiently for 75mins! alright. i gave in. went and met him supposedly for a kfc dinner. instead we went for movie as i causally said it. looking at him gobbling up the nachos in the cinema made me pretty guilty though. next time i shall complete my work before 6pm just in case. didnt manage to catch hello stranger as it was full house. we caught Box! superb movie! we were pretty lucky! after movie, he drove me home. and poor him, was all shagged out. silly boy:D

it is already showing!
so suave!~!!!
a duel between 2 buddies.
he captured my attention! Hayato Ichihara~ (kabu in the movie!)
he got a talent in boxing!
charismatic right! i knew it!

Based on a 2008 novel by Naoki Hyakuta, the film stars Hayato Ichihara as a teenager in Osaka named Yoshihei Kaburaya. Although he’s never been much of a student, he’s always had a natural talent for boxing. His childhood friend Kitaru (Kengo Kora) is a genius student well on his way toward moving on to a prestigious university.

Set in a high school boxing club in Osaka, Kabu (Hayato Ichihara) is a likeable delinquent who cuts up during classes, but works masterfully in the boxing ring. Then one day on the subway, Kabu takes out three thugs who are harassing a young couple. When Kabu gets off the train, he realizes that the man being harassed is his childhood friend Yuki (Kengo Kora), who moved away several years back. To Kabu's delight he learns that Yuki has now moved back to town and is now attending the same high school as Kabu. A few days later, Kabu insists to the timid Yuki to join the boxing club. However, he’s been a weakling and lacked physical confidence since he was a child. After much badgering upon Kabu's part, Yuki finally decides to take up the boxing gloves. Wanting to become strong like his friend Kaburaya, Kitaru joins him in their school’s boxing club. Although Yuki is completely new to the sport, he does train with earnest determination.

Meanwhile, a local boxing tournament takes place with Kabu easily going through his opponents. That is until the championship match when Kabu faces the highly feared boxer named Inamura (Suwa Masashi). To Kabu's surprise, Inamura knocks out Kabu. The loss devastates Kabu and he quits the boxing club. Yuki, on the other hand, stays in the club and trains as diligently as ever. When Kabu finally rejoins the boxing club, Yuki and Kabu both train for the next tournament to take out Inamura, but Inamura has a surprise for the two boxers ...

the best part.. the pair become both partners and rivals in training.
