    Not afraid to cry.
    Date / Time : Saturday, June 27, 2009 / 9:54 PM
    Mario - Afraid to Cry


    This is the hardest moment of my life
    I never thought we would be saying goodbye
    It ain’t your fault girl it ain’t mine
    Unfortunately we’re just victims of time



    Girl you should go left and I will go right
    We wasted enough time
    But I think we should kiss
    So we can take it with us to play in our minds
    And if you feel a tear falling on your lips
    Then girl that would be mine
    Cause I’m a man that ain’t afraid to cry
    See a man that ain’t afraid to cry is a man that ain’t afraid to die




    We can stay together play made-believe
    Or hurt like hell for a while but one day be happy
    There’s somebody for you who do what I don’t
    And hopefully I’ll meet the girl that makes me wanna love again



    Girl you should go left and I will go right
    We wasted too much time
    But I think we should kiss
    So we can take it with us to play in our minds
    And if you feel a tear falling on your lips
    Then girl that would be mine
    Cause I’m a man that ain’t afraid to cry
    See a man that ain’t afraid to cry is a man that ain’t afraid to die





    And I’m crying baby
    I don’t care who’s watching baby
    I’m crying like lalala
    Girl I can’t change the past…




    Girl you should go left and I will go right
    We wasted too much time
    But I think we should kiss
    So we can take it with us to play in our minds
    And if you feel a tear falling on your lips
    Then girl that would be mine
    Cause I’m a man that ain’t afraid to cry
    See a man that ain’t afraid to cry is a man that ain’t afraid to die

    KO-night FInal
    Date / Time : / 8:52 PM

    Switched Off for the day, like totally just sleep at home and do nothing. ._.

    Cut off communication.

    Clearing up my mind, from some crazy thoughts.

    Getting some solid rest, for a longer battle.

    SOO....

    Sunday, i'll be back :)

    harder, better, faster, stronger me.

    KO-Night FINAL June 26th 2009 -
    KO-night Final's eye-opener.

    Witnessing some of the world dopest dancers coming together under one roof.

    Just by looking at them, and when they do their thing, makes me feel so inspired all over.

    Poppin'Dino 's so freaking cool please. And i love it when Yokoi dance, he really feelin the music and enjoying every bit of it! Rock's amazing too, so Hongkong DO have dance scene. HEE. Some national pride we'll talkin about here for me.

    ANND.. Rahim and KS totally on fire!!

    Grats to Red-Line, KahMar and Lock Out loud!

    My favourite dancers of the night mann. Im especially proud of Rahim, like..i don't know! hes really feeling it, and the way he interpret the music, expressing it, priceless.

    Yea yea.. I got a long way to go.

    Won't stop, don't want to stop,

    loving dance.

    AND YA. Im not being dao. Just very very very extremely drained cus' i seriously lack of rest past few days. If i don't talk, and very stone, now you know why. :)

    can't desribe how tired i was last night dudees..The day before's already a long day, and then i rushed project, ending up not sleeping. Reached school just in time for my 9am tutorial, then have lessons all the way until 5, before taking a train down with Gen to KO-night.

    The journey sleeping on the train seemed like..... mere 2 minutes?

    After the event, went down to the warehouse(Our live l4d experience. LOL) with Ter, Aaron, Khye, Chansee, helping to keep the KO-night battle-ring.

    Btw, Sitting on the back of the truck's kinda fun, and windy. heehee. And i can't believe i agreed to their crazy idea, going L4d after that.

    SO....ended up 4 shagged zombies, walking out of Lan shop at 1.30am.

    -THE END-
    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Oh oh.

    And i had a uber fun time cooking pasta and minstrone with a bimbo. AHAHAHA.

    Get well from ur flu soon.

    Happy Fathers' day, and say hi to more schoolwork.
    Date / Time : Wednesday, June 24, 2009 / 11:07 PM















    Another long and draggy day.

    School's just so pointless and im wearing myself out for almost next to nuthin'

    Meeting project deadlines after deadlines, random tests and presentations.

    But im grateful to this few tutors who's been naggy and giving me pressure to do my work.

    Somewhat It makes schoolwork abit more interesting,

    in a sense that people still care,

    and i want to work hard just for them.

    At the same time, i'll have some takeaway through the leftover time.

    ._.

    Ya. Pretty lame. But i just need a reason for myself to keep working.

    -----------------------------------------------------

    After school, went down to SMU to pass Niger the ticket money.

    Dude, all da best for production yo, im kinda looking forward to it, cos its quite fresh to have a school concert in butterfact. : )

    Lan with you guys another day! HAHA. Really gotta go home early today to do work, submission on friday.

    -------------------------------------------------------

    To our Tommy Shing Ming Fat.

    Might came in abit late!!

    My bad.

    HAPPY FATHERS' DAY!!!!!!!

    I wish im there with you now. Because we'll never really once, spending quality time with each other.

    Next year alright? We'll be together as a family, and we'll celebrate every single day be it fathers' day, mothers' day as a family of 4.

    Well, i seriously hope your doing well!

    And cut down on your smoking yes!?

    We never failed to feel worried everytime we saw you lighting one.

    And just that you know, you always has a place in our heart.

    Love you, 'ba ba'.

    Stand on top of all nobility.

    Your beloved sons,

    I can foresee myself screaming in pain tmr morning, after Kevin's ultimate inhuman body-conditioning sets.

    but I LIKE IT. hahahas.

    The team seems more together today. At least, i can feel we are in one piece , and we getting somewhere with some taking at the end of the day!! LOL. Yes yes, more more. : ) Groove it groove it.

    let's search our freedom in dance together, through this journey.

    GOOO our 'nameless' suntec team!!

    Let's do this....one last time,

    together.

    ------------------------------------------------------

    I guess..when u pray and wish for something, god will really give it to you.

    I passed my toefl exam with flying colors.

    Don't know how. But yaa, 80/100.

    Hope it will bring me somewhere when my life's on a restart.

    Props to the one looking over me on top.

    Praise Lord.
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    Schoolwork seems to be getting in control again. And i can feel im finally back on track somehow.

    Everything seems so right suddenly.

    And i promised myself to stop blogging about too much negative thoughts.

    Reading back, i don't even know myself anymore.

    time to blog about daily happenings and all yoo.

    :)

    -------------------------------------------------------

    i wonder...

    How to find freedom in dance,

    when i don't live freely.

    A song to share.


    Elliott Yamin - Can't keep on loving You.



    How do I get close
    When she looks like an angel
    A moment of her time just seems impossible to me
    It’s hard to find the words, to get to know this stranger
    I’m scared of what she’ll say if what I say sounds incomplete
    And it feels like we belong together
    Can someone tell me where do I start


    Cuz, I can’t keep on feelin’ the way I do
    I can’t keep on, hiding my heart from you
    I got to say something before Someone else comes through,
    I can’t keep on loving you,
    From a distance


    She’s always on my mind, there’s no room left for thinking
    I’m tired of waiting slowly fading it needs to happen now.
    Cuz I’m running out of time, and I feel this ship is sinking
    The doors are closing I am frozen I need her around
    And it feels like we belong together


    Can someone tell me where do I start
    Cuz, I can’t keep on feelin’ the way I do
    And I can’t keep on, hiding my heart from you
    I got to say something before Someone else comes through,
    I can’t keep on loving you,
    From a distance...
    From a distance...
    From a distance...
    From a distance.


    I can’t hide I can’t keep on feelin’ the way I do
    And I can’t keep on, hiding my heart from you
    I got to say something before Someone else comes through,
    Cuz I can’t keep on loving you,
    I can’t keep on loving you from a distance.



    I want to live for myself,
    once more.


    Martin.


    Not again.
    Date / Time : Sunday, June 21, 2009 / 8:16 PM














    Selfless versus selfish.

    I am stucked at the same situation again.

    Probably a change in the character.

    How lame, Martin.

    Departure's nightmare.
    Date / Time : Friday, June 19, 2009 / 9:20 PM
















    More haunting, as it draws closer.

    anxiety and emptiness.

    As time goes, they became my worst parasites.

    Burden me by day, and suck me dry through the night.

    It will never end,

    until the very day i die and reborn for a brand new life-form.

    ---------------------------------------------

    For now, god.

    Please give me a reason to live.

    Because i don't know what im doing anymore.



    Can't help but stumble over the same question.

    'What's left for me to do, what's right for me to do?'



    One of those terminal disease patient-like kinda day,
    Not exactly depressed,
    how about a crazy kind of fear,
    try to put yourself in my shoes,
    but i doubt you can understand.
    Uniquely martin kind of life,
    and only myself knows the pain.

    Martin.


    Assumption is the lowest form of knowledge
    Date / Time : / 1:08 AM















    I don't understand, why.

    Until this point of time,

    people can still assume things.

    If you don't know me well enough, and trying to guess what the funk im blogging.

    Come approach me.

    I'll tell you, if your worthy to know.

    Just that you know, Im long out of the game


    And assumption is the lowest form of knowledge.

    --------------------------------------------------------

    After project, went down with Gen to meet Kevin and JJ to shop around Town.

    Spent 70 on clothes which originally cost around 100, THANKS TO JJ's birthday discount. HAHAHA.

    But in the end i paid for the cab and JJ's L4D. So in actual fact, it doesn't make a difference. ._. I still finished my supposed Sexy Diamond money. Oh well. Sadly, SD's turning into a common brand, infested with AhBengs wearing them. My only wanted thing in SD now, probably's the Basic Apparell Tees and the pouch.

    SAVE UP SAVE UP : )

    July's coming yo.

    btw, I had my share of fun blasting zombies tonight.
    --------------------------------------------------------

    tmr will always be better right?

    Techniques, is not equal to dancing.
    Date / Time : Thursday, June 18, 2009 / 1:14 AM















    Dude, i can feel your pain.

    But i guess,

    we are different,

    in the sense that,

    you got a choice.

    So don't leave any regret,

    and just go for it. :)

    While loving others, learn to love yourself too. : )


    ----------------------------------------------------------


    Dance Subaru's a inspiring show.

    And especially like all the dance mindset they tried to educate dancers through the show, which is very true.


    'Don't get swallow by technique, and doing out dance-steps doesn't mean you are dancing."

    "got to feel it, feel the rhythm."


    And ofcs,



    Dance to express, not to impress,

    What doesn't kill, only make me stronger
    Date / Time : Tuesday, June 16, 2009 / 3:00 AM














    Is it a sin,

    for me,

    to have feeling?

    and then fall in love unintentionally?




    And here comes the vicious cycle of self-destruction, all over again.

    I wish...i could take time to love,

    but when i am all alone, i realised, I've got no time left.

    Still, the same old me.

    Love doesn't come with want and desire, but happiness for that person.

    At the expense of unconditioned suffering, quietly fading out of the picture.

    Never fair, never painless, to love.

    Especially, for someone who walked my kind of path.

    Learn to say, a clean and heartbreaking goodbye.

    Let go while the feeling's still at pinnacle high.





    What doesn't kill, only make me stronger,
    Martin.

    I respect your coldness.
    Date / Time : Monday, June 15, 2009 / 4:31 PM















    If that's the route u choose to walk, then be it.

    I will play along till the very end.

    Thank you though, for the good intention.

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    On a lighter note, im on a quest to become one with the music.

    Special thanks to people who gave advices like PangYang, Niger, Ovation, Rahim, Danny and whoever walked with me through the dance journey.

    I feel, its time to take it to a higher level. And as a dancer, i feel we should learn how to let go.

    More feel, more interpretion, more expression, more basics and technique to narrate the music.

    Because dance's music made visible.

    Music inspires dance.

    and dance, comes before style.

    On top of all, i got to search for even more more much more freedom in dance.

    If your just throwing and filling in stunts and moves and what you usually do, then your not dancing, freely.


    I'll do what i preach, keep to what i believe, and keep dancing this way.


    :) Dance, because, you love the music.




    nail the foundation right and explore,
    Martin.

    如果我变成回忆 - Tank


    累了 照惯例努力清醒着
    也照惯例 想你了
    好怕一放心睡了
    心跳在梦中 不听话的 就停止了

    听着 呼吸像浪潮拍动着
    越没力越 让我忐忑
    我还能珍惜什么
    如果我连自己的脉搏 都难掌握

    如果我变成回忆 退出了这场生命
    留下你错愕哭泣 我冰冷身体 拥抱不了你
    想到我让深爱的你 人海孤独旅行
    我会恨自己 如此狠心

    如果我变成回忆 终于没那么幸运
    没机会白着头发 蹒跚牵着你 看晚霞落尽
    漫长时光总有一天你会伤心痊愈
    若有人可以 让他陪你 我不怪你


    快乐 什么时候会结束呢
    哪一刻是 最后一刻
    想把你紧紧抱着
    可知你是我生命中的 最舍不得


    如果我变成回忆 退出了这场生命
    留下你错愕哭泣 我冰冷身体 拥抱不了你
    想到我让深爱的你 人海孤独旅行
    我会恨自己 如此狠心

    如果我变成回忆 终于没那么幸运
    没机会白着头发 蹒跚牵着你 看晚霞落尽
    漫长时光总有一天你会伤心痊愈
    若有人可以 让他陪你


    如果我变成回忆 最怕我太不争气
    顽固地赖在空气 霸占你心里 每一寸缝隙
    连累依然爱我的你痛苦承受失去
    这样不公平 请你尽力 把我忘记

    Just...

    TOEFL exam is DAMN GAY.

    100% computerized.

    It's Sooooooo much harder than i expected it to be, and it's 4 friggin' hours non-stop braincells killing spree in front of the retarded computer.

    Four parts.

    Kicked off with 6 bloody comprehensions and the questions totally pwned me hard. My first one got freaking zero cus' that guy told me to wait until the time's up then start to ans, which straight away jumped to passage 2 when it hits zero. WHAT THE FUNK, like seriously ._.


    Then listening test. 3 conversation, and 3 virtual lecture, and got to ans their whatever question related to the conversation. Not too bad, i don't have problem understanding, except for this lecture on realism. I was like, what the funk's that and the person next to me already at the oral section, he's speaking uber loud, damn inconsiderate cannn!!?? Im too indudged in being pissed..so much so that i actually missed out the whole lecture thing on realism, i just anyhow through that part. ._. GAAHHH!! SCREW HIMM.


    Ok this is fun!! The Oral part! HHAA. 2 open-ended topic, 2 argumentative topic, and 2 lecture summary topic, got to speak for one minute for each. I seriously find it damn fun, maybe i love talking to the computer ._.

    ' Describe a social/politic event occur in your country and how is it being celebrated?'

    I TALK ABOUT CHINESE NEW YEAR. HAHAHAH!! AND I TALKED ABOUT THE BEAST CALLED 'NIAN' and how it got chased out by the villager ._.



    Alrite, then last part, composition and summary. Super dry and draggy. The summary still alright. The composition reminds me of my General paper back in JC. ._.
    Probably can pass, but doubt can score well. I seriously don't want to do this shit all over again.


    Super uber torturing.
    ------------------------------------------------------

    And then..down for sessioning at SMU.

    Everything kinda messed up today for everyone.

    ._.

    Guys and girls, STAY STRONG LIKE A BOOGALOO.

    There's something called,

    forgive and forget.

    i hope everyone can just open their heart to each other again.

    :)))

    NOT TO FORGET, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DOPE POPPING DISCIPLE, ESTEEEE!! Owe you a prezzie i hope the cake's nice!!! Because i used my half-broken UOB card and scanned 30 over times to buy it. LOLS!!!! But Kupo's idea though! : ))

    Get something dope for you when i go HongKong next week.

    heh.


    ------------------------------------------------------------

    It's great that we talked and clarify stuffs today.

    :)) STILL GOOD FRIENDS MAN!!

    And i promised, nothing gonna change even after tonight.

    it's my pleasure to have you walked into my life.

    So if you ever need a shoulder to cry on,

    时间越来越逼近了,


    开始发现自己无意间也会有落泪的时候。


    一种无法解释的无奈与焦虑。




    寂寞的时候,也会不经意想起自己收拾行李,


    离开的背影。


    原来,不管我怎么去放手,还是逃不过思念的纠缠.


    害怕的时候,只好选择逃避,自我催眠。




    ------------------------------------------------------

    如果我下一秒就要死了,




    你还会爱我吗?

    如果我下一秒就得消失,




    我可不可以说我爱上了你.




    就算是.....对得起自己.

    好难受.

    只有你可以理解吧?

    不过...

    还是....

    静静的死去最适合我。

    I just received my letter, regarding migration from the US government.

    I guess.

    My time's drawing near.

    And i am departing Singapore to HongKong for a week on the 13th.

    Some documents to settle.

    This weekend, Toefl exam.





    When the syndromes strike,

    when you know death's near,

    you know it's time to get all restless,

    can't help but start...

    missing,

    treasuring.
