Time is perhaps the only thing that humanity can never escape.



Hello there,
It is true that my blog lived, died, lived,died,lived,died and lived again.

Heck its all part of life.

Living things die, such as us pity humans.

Time is the only thing that can never stop no matter how hard humans try.

We begin dying when we are born into this world.
How true is that?

I acknowledge that time is unstoppable.
Yet, good things keeps the flow of time passes by us pity humans too quickly.

I quote from Barz Luhmann,

the director of epic films some of which i enjoy, like oh say Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet






and some i have yet to see it like Australia,

Yes people its that dude that made such memorable films.

Anyhow, I think this song should one of the best of
(click link for further info on this and other cool media coined terms)
Im taking a part of it which relates to what im talking about.

"Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth;
oh nevermind;
you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself
and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you
and how fabulous you really looked….
You’re not as fat as you"

Anyhow,
my life is currently going through such an awesome adventure and that is the

Uni Life




I am now compelled to begin writing about moments which i think should not be forgotten.

I regret now

for i have wished i wrote down some events that I had lived through when the
miracle device called the internet and the application that came along called blogger was invented.
whether it was with my family, relatives or my friends,
whether it was Happy or Sad,
Joyful celebrations, or tearful mournings,

MAN! How i regret it now.

But regretting and being wishy washy is all useless talk and is a form of excuses.

I resolutely believe NOW
that i should change my thoughts and beliefs.
Focus on what lies ahead of me.
Believe in what great and wonderous opportunities lies before me.
For youth comes once in a life time,
I will have to wait for death and the painful karmic process to be reborn
to again indulge in such a sinful vanity induced of an age.

I have no idea how and what drives me to write this now at 4.51 a.m. Eastern time zone in Bloomington, Indiana US of A.

What matter most is that this post, will and should remind me should I forgot that living comes once, and whether are we living the reality as we know of as reality

OR

Its all but a dream.
A dream that lives on until we lie dead in whichever we choose to die.

This is perhaps my longest post i have ever written and written without any guidelines of a planned essay.

Let this post be a reminder to myself and to those who read it,
that living is too short for anyone in this world,


THEREFORE,
A simple word to summarize our life for the present and for the future,
JUST

LIVE



End of note 1.

Now to add pics to add color to this post.

Taking a moment to reflect an era, a man and a new License

I'm back.
Thanks for the support of some of you guys for inspiring me to continue blogging.

Now,
lets spare a thought for a man not many would know him unlike American Idol winners but perhaps for the picture he took and represented the end of an era.

Hubert van Es
6 July 1941 – 15 May 2009
Well, most of us wasn't born when he was around but who could ever forget this iconic photo Hubert took in 1975.
The photo depicts the Fall of Saigon (present day Ho Chi Minh city)
in 1975 to Communist Vietnam with evacuees trying to grab a ride onto one of the last helicopters out of Saigon.

To go a little more detailed, this picture was actually mistakenly identified as the US embassy but in fact it was a CIA operated building.

For a more detailed description on how that moment was as described by Hubert van Es
Click here.

And what can be more significant that this photo represents the end of an era,
The Vietnam War era.
An era so controversial that it haunted a generation and it mirrors today's trouble in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Here are some pics from that time that somehow doesn't seem to change from what we can see at present.



Before I end here,one of the best quote of video games that relates here.
"WAR. WAR NEVER CHANGES" from Fallout series
Well spoken.....well spoken

I'll touch on some Vietnams epic movies next time around.

Now on something lighter,
Check this 2 pics below.


can u SPOT THE DIFF?
no prize for guessing it right.

yes, my red sticker is missing. Which means....
SAY GOODBYE TO MY LIL RED FREN
I can finally take any car onto the road without having to stick these on the front and back.
Here's to 2 years of driving constantly on the road. WEEEEEE!
Had my shares of accidents but this summarizes it all. I made it out alive and fully licensed.


Next post: The things you own, end up owning you and the case of kidnapping an unwilling friend.

Birthday, losing shoes, going "there" again and seeing you

Its been a week since my last post and here comes another one.

First time to be able to consecutively post another blog after week. =)
Before we proceed,
A Special shoutout to one of my bestest buds
Happy 20th Birthday Tan Jeck Shen.

May the force always be with you.

Now on another front,
this is what happens when i got too excited to celebrate at Euphoria with my college buds,
rushing off into the night while forgetting to bring my socks,
and needing to take a break from the dancing and sweating of my bare feet,
by taking my shoes off.

Pictorial explanation available below.

"Someone" decided to be an asshole and hid my shoes.
I didn't just lose my shoes once but twice!!

in less than 10 mins.




But its alright cause i found both back and the asshole who did it
Courtesy of Amir's camera =)

And the ADP ppl which made that night happened and i will miss.

On ANOTHER FRONT
For a two week straight,
I've went up to Lookout point for the sake of jeckshen, "dearest of all my friends".

Photos for view.
Yours truly
My "on the way there" driver, Jordan Lo.
Can only give 5/10 for driving. Still takutla sitting in his car
The whole lot of us. Courtesy of Fei for snapping photos.

We all had a taste of the INfamous ampang burgers but sorry no photo of that available. Must hunt for Fei for that pic.


Last but not least,
just want to have a lil shout out of TY to my lil penguin who gave her time for me ytd after not seeing her for the past 3 weeks.

Luv ya and looking forward to your break time in the near future.

Revived again. stubborn ol blog

Well I'm back.
Due to a significant other half persuasion....
I'm back here at last.


Needless to say I've been gone missing for far too long. Even Jeck got pissed of my blog and deleted yours truly once AGAIN.
I still face some hesitation of what to write on this blog. So do encourage me. I could always use some.


So where SHOULD i start?

The past mins/hours/days/weeks/month of what happened?
OR
perhaps something for the future.

hmmm.

maybe i should have a designated week post? I'll go random for the moment.
Alrighty then. Future trips I'm looking forward too.

Video Games Live Singapore
Redang (hopefully?)
Forum
(Pray that might Operation AC will be finished in time for this)


I will go more detailed regarding the trips when i return again.

I'll cya when i cya.

Hi. My name is Li Ann, and I'm from the Leo Club of SMK Taman SEA

Mak says: I can't believe I'm letting you do this for me. The night must be manipulating me.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
It IS 3am in the morning and I'm blogging using Mak's account.
No clue why he actually agreed. Surprised actually.
I'm in L.O.C by the way which is Leo Orientation Camp.
Can't sleep so here I am spamming on Mak's blog.
* BIG BIG GRIN*

Anyways, the poor owner of this account is up waiting for that meow to come back from his KONONNYA 30 MINUTE MAMAK MAKAN SESSION. Poor fella so tired and desperate to sleep. Yet I'm like some small girl in a candy store, blogging with his acccount. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA ( Evil Laugh LLC 07 Style).

Oh my gosh, I forgot to introduce myself properly although the header pretty much says it all.
My name is Li Ann, I'm from Taman Sea. I can't sleep actually, that's why I'm blogging. Not that I don't want to sleep, just can't sleep. I'm extremely hyper and loud. And no, I did not hack Mak's account. I only know the last letter of his password, which is E. The password has DAMN A LOT OF LETTERS, Siao case. :D

So let's see what I know about Mak. I met him in LLC 07 last year, he was the VOC back then, and also the VOC for LOC. He's 19 this year. He wears glasses. He doesn't have long hair. He's quite okay laa, decent guy. Takkan I write bad stuff about him using HIS account meh? :) He's also the Vice President for the Leo Club of PJI. He supports both Arsenal AND Chelsea, I think.

It's only 3.12 and I'm still stoning here, don't know what to do. Anyways, to all of those people who reads this blog, HI. :) and I think Mak fell asleep. A few of us are in a classroom, some sleeping with their heads on their arms on the table, while others with sleeping bags. Don't know why this people so stubborn don't want to sleep on the floor with their sleeping bags.

What else can I talk about? Hmmm, how about food? I like cookies. :D and errmm I think Meow and Lawrence are back from their session. Gosh they must be wondering what on earth with me.

Anyways, I shall wrap this up since Mak's like errmm giving me that look. So goodnight people. :D

Hopefully I get to do this again.

Bye.

the commandment commands me

Hello there people.

Yes i'm back again after a very long absence due to my lack of motivation to blog.

Surprisingly the reason now i restart again is due to ctrl-alt-del comic. They always come with stuff that i feel i should spread the word of it.

Now for today's topic of blog, here for ANY gamer SHOULD follow and never even dare to break anyone of those listed. Unless u want to get punch in the face for daring to break it. U have been warned.

THE COMMANDMENTS OF GAMING!!
P.S. credit to CAD-comics.

On another note, it has been already a week since [PAR] saw action at the APIIT ICCG COD4 competition. It sure was a tough competition but on the bright side, we sure made quite far even though we didnt train much. 4th place is still coolio even though we were that close to third. but heck we are pariah, we play for fun dudez.

Met lots of familiar COD 4 peeps there too. Funny yet chun peeps. Hope to see you guys another time.

Kudos to the team consisting of Soung the commander, Hann the hunter, Terence the ninja, Oscar the guard and eng liong the extra kaki. Couldnt have done it without you guys.

Until next post and hopefully soon too.
