friday the day it is and i am sooo down with flu and runny nose... so i practically headed home after my lectures fora good rest... which unfortunately was not very good with lots of calls here and there... so here i am, like rudolf the reindeer sitting down in front of my com typing...

alrite... had this np gathering on thurs... one which i soo look forward too... a time whr i can finally meet up with some really good old frens of the past. ppl who have endured 4yrs of joy, hardship, learning, toil and perspiration together. ppl who created and shared good memories of 4 good cadet life...

though nt everyone turned up, i am so grateful and delighted at the meeting. It is just so nice to meet everyone. afterall, each and everyone is so special to me.

ppl like my dear old brother chee siong, my BOSS who costantly gave me lots of advices and guidance... a person who i can bare my true feelings to and gets back a full genuine friendship in return for all these yrs...the ET of the squad...

kai wei, a trustworthy chap with good bodybuild, slow spoken yet humorous and spontenous, an elite of the past and present.

huiqun, the only lady in the grp with the spirit tt matches tt of any guy. a girl with a strong personality and character. definitely my cup of tea in terms of character for wad i look for in any real admirable girl. the organiser of this meeting

walter, the crappiest person i have met so far in my life. and he had nt change ever since... though he suddenly shot up vertically. a fellow crap talker... and a future commando... though tt is really unbelievable...

kiat yong, chairperson of our batch... one guy who in so spontenous and on... the person who went thru the most events with me like the campcraft com and lifesaving course...

arthur, the SI with the least badges.. still so lame as before... with his thrifty talks and all...

hong kai, a fellow CI...

though few in numbers, the topic we shared are sooo under the sky... from NS to days of the past, to studies to practically anything...

however, had this talk with chee siong at nite tt still rings in my mind till now... abt the word mayB... abt the unpredicatibility in life... abt changes...

which i admit i could somehow feel a drop of tears dropping from my eye... esp when it comes from ur good old fren...

Too young to drink or pay taxes, but...
18 & HE'S MAYOR
HIGH-SCHOOLER BEATS 51-YEAR-OLD INCUMBENT TO BECOME MAYOR OF US CITY OF 9,000. HIS REACTION? 'COOL!'
November 14, 2005




HE's too young to drink a toast to his victory.
And he'll have to clean up his bedroom to make space for a work desk.

Eighteen-year-old Michael Sessions became the youngest elected official in the US on Thursday when he was voted Mayor of Hillsdale, a town of 9,000 people in central Michigan, reported the Los Angeles Times newspaper.

The pre-university student plans to continue schooling - which in the US runs from 8am to 3pm - while in office and set aside time after 6pm for his homework.


But between 3pm and 6pm, he plans to take his civic duties seriously.

Mr Session's victory is even more remarkable given that he was too young to register when nominations for the position closed in August - he turned 18 only in September.

So, his supporters had to add his name to their ballot paper in pen if they wanted to vote for him.

But Mr Sessions had won over many voters by tirelessly knocking on doors every day after school and using the US$700 ($1,100) he earned from his holiday job selling candy at summer fun fairs to fund his campaign.

He beat the sitting mayor, local businessman Doug Ingles, 51, who had ridiculed him during the campaign, by two votes.

'It's amazing. It's cool. Obviously the people of Hillsdale took me seriously,' the teenager told The Times of London on Friday.

'I'm so excited, I think I'm going to be ill.

'A lot of older people really enjoyed talking to me. I looked them in the eye. Young people could relate to me.'

WENT DOOR-TO-DOOR

In the three weeks before the poll, Mr Session roped in classmates to help him organise public meetings and canvass neighbourhoods.

'Each day after school, he would pick an area and go door to door, telling people who he was and that he was running for mayor,' classmate Lauren Beck, 17, told the LA Times.

'He'd talk about why he should be mayor, and had a sample of the ballot so he could show people where they had to write in his name.'

At first, residents thought Mr Session's was campaigning as a joke, or to bolster his college application.

But soon, the mood shifted.

'A lot of people seemed impressed that he was working so hard,' classmate Brandon Thomas told the LA Times.

Ironically, when Mr Sessions ran for vice-president of his secondary school's student council last year, he lost.

Despite his determination not to let his grades slip in the run-up to his secondary school graduation in June, Mr Sessions skipped morning assembly on Thursday to conduct phone interviews with local radio stations.

He missed his afternoon classes because he was flown to New York to appear on the Late Show With David Letterman.

On the show, he read out Letterman's Top 10 Reasons Why It's Good To Be An 18-year-old Mayor.

They included: 'If my parents try to tell me what to do, I'll raise their taxes' and 'School bullies now have to deal with the feds (federal police).'


MEDIA FRENZY


Both his school and his parents are being swamped by phone calls from journalists around the world wanting to interview him, and from Hollywood producers keep to develop his story into a film.

But the world's media can't call him directly - he doesn't have a handphone.

Nor is he up to talking too much - his mother kept him home from school on Friday because he was sick.

'He's been coughing and getting over bronchitis,' said his mother, Mrs Lorri Sessions, 42. 'It's been overwhelming.'

Mrs Sessions said their son long had been interested in politics.

'He would watch the town meetings on TV every week,' she said.

''He'd try to get us (his family, including medical technician father Mr Scott Sessions, and his 13-year-old sister) to join him. He found the whole process fascinating.'

Mrs Sessions said her son began thinking of running for office when several local manufacturing plants closed down while he was in primary school, plunging the area into recession.

His ideas for turning the local economy around impressed local residents.

'Here's this kid talking about how there are grants to help towns like ours attract biotech companies,' said shop owner John Spiteri, 49.

'People here are hungry for anyone who can pump life back into this town.'

The post is mayor a largely ceremonial four-year position with a monthly stipend of US$250. City Manager Tim Vagle handles the town's day-to-day administration, while the mayor and the other eight council members make policy decisions and approve the budget.

Mr Sessions will be required to attend two council meetings a month.

Hillsdale High Principal Peter Beck said with a grin:

'I told him that if he wins, he'll still need to finish his homework - I'd hate to have to suspend a city official.'

woohoo... read this from the NEWPAPER today and discovered these... this is so damn interesting...

ok, basically i got nth better to do with the ample time on my hand tt i decided to add in my archives finally... and it all dates back to the yr august 03! tt means i have been blogging for 2yrs and going man...

and as i read on, i realise tt my content of my post seems to get mature as the times goes by... from things i now seems childish.. to well, recent blogging of unhappy stuff... well, it goes to show how much i have changed over the yrs... more matured ? maybe? but definitely, all the posts somehow brings back memories... like the starting post when i was wavering with the thought of being a CI... times when i still spell "cum" instead of "come"... ( when i duno wad cum means, i hope donglin now do ).. times when i thought i was doing mature things tt i see as childish now...
time really flies... and it does really goes a long way back... when it just seems so ytd...

and tt is when i suddenly missed my squadmates very much... my batch of squadmates in chung cheng... self-proclaimed elite crazy bunch who stayed in sch to catch kittens in the logistic room... and of course, brothers there like my dear old brudder chee siong, khai wan, hong wei, kiat yong and all... and the ONLY female power, huiqun...

the days of the recruitment drive when we created history in our 4yrs by constructing a watch tower... though it differs a lot from khaiwan and my sketch...



but it was truely memorable... the days of the tower building when we spend more than 12hrs for 3/4 days to build this tower...

and the by the lake pic we had... i know i had this posted in my friendster and previous entries.. i agreed that these few are one of the few pics i will truely appreciate in time to come... esp in my yrs in npcc... ok, i am getting nostalgic..



so i shall be stopping on this... i tink it is coz of the recruitment drive last week tt suddenly brings me back to this feeling... tt feeling of old... the not-so-mature matured NCO times... the times when u do something with a squad...


but i must and will come back to the present...

aniwae, gtg for some quality slp time...


and it's a beautiful day today... suddenly, the bus ride from tampines interchange to my hse is not so dull and bad after all... lol... i'm an honoured person today...

i realised that i have not been blogging for a long time... well, basically, i am just busy with life... busy doing nth... or is it i cannot seems to pen/type down my thoughts in words... coz so much happened to me...

i have started on intensive gaming, returning to the MMORPG world again. Preparing myself for total ownage when seal online rolls out. meanwhile, i am just tt pretty gorgeous ridiculously proportionated-body archer in martial heroes.

and i realise that there are lots of things i cannot mention in this blog... duno why suddenly i feel so constraint.. but i guess this is life. and life ain't a bed of rose.

ok, i shall now switched to tiger beer instead of others... coz jessica alba is just sooo alluring in the new commercial, esp her innocent look... totally smittened by her man... fanastic 4, into the blues, and now tiger beer spokesperson... let's await more of her to come... oops, i forgot ther R21 sin city...

lol... sch terms's started... and i found myself more hardworking than before. at least for now... i DID my tutorial today ok? for one.... be impressed ppl. it usually takes me a long time to be so motivated to do them...

alrite, i guess that is all for me to say... i wun wanna mention abt the bunch of 15yrs old kids tt errr behaves way below their age... or is it the generation gap... or is everyone just crazy? or rather, jovial? lol


meanwhile, let's shine on with ryan cabrera and here by me 3 doors down...coz i'll be ok...


here by me

3 doors down

i hope you’re doing fine out without me
‘Cause I’m not doing so good without you
The things I thought you’d never know about me
Were the things I guess you always understood

So how could I have been so blind for all these years?
Guess I only see the truth through all this fear,
And living without you…

And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

I can’t take another day without you
‘Cause baby, I could never make it on my own
I’ve been waiting so long, just to hold you
And be back in your arms where I belong

Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
But everything I’ve ever know gets swept away



Shine on

ryan cebrera

Given every moment I had
Still I can never seem to keep up with you
You're done with one mile and onto another one thousand
Still I can never seem to keep up with you

I know you'll be better off without me when I'm gone
You know you're, your beautiful
You're beautiful

Shine on
You were made to
Shine on
And you know I love you
And even if we can or cant be friends
I'll be with you until the very end
So shine on, you want me to

It's keeping me awake every night
But I can never seem to give up on you
I send up a prayer and I'm onto another one thousand
I can never seem to give up on you

I know you'll be better off without me when I'm gone
You know you're, your beautiful
You're beautiful

Shine on
You were made to
Shine on
And you know I love you
And even if we can or cant be friends
I'll be with you until the very end
So shine on, yeah

Nobody's wrong, nobody's right
Keep moving on..
Shine on, yeah
You want me to shine on

Shine on, you were made to
Shine on, and you know I love you
And even if we can or cant be friends
Were gonna be brighter than we've ever been
so shine on

You're gonna be just fine
Oh, you're gonna be alright love,
You're gonna be just fine,
Oh you're gonna be alright love



I'll be ok

McFly

When everything is going wrong
and things are just a little strange
Cos' for so long now
you've forgotten how to smile.
And overhead the skies are clear
but it still seems to rain on you,
and your only friend all have
better things to do.

[CHORUS:]
When your down and lost
and you need a helping hand
when your down and lost
along the way
oh, just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK

Now things are only getting worse
and you need someone to take the blame
when your lovers gone
there's no-one to share the day
Your sleeping with the TV on
and your lying in an empty bed
all the alcohol in the world
could never help me to forget

[CHORUS:]
When your down and lost
and you need a helping hand
when your down and lost
along the way,
just try a little harder
try your best to make it
through the day,
oh just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK

You're not alone (you're not alone)
You're not alone (you're not alone)
You're not alone

Just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK
oh, just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK
Won't you tell yourself

[CHORUS:]
When your down and lost
and you need a helping hand
when your down and lost
along the way,
try a little harder
try your best to make it
through the day

Oh, just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK
I, I'll be OK
I, I'll be OK
