A day at the beach with my family. Man, I can't remember the last time we were there. Well, actually I can....about 6 or 7 years ago. Yes, that long ago. It's about time we did something like this.

I found out that I'll be the CPE for ONLY the private candidates, so not as much work as I thought.
Bad one:
My P is resigning and taking over his place next year is this super-on-the-ball P from this school in the west as well.

I can't believe it's the end of the year already...so fast. I can still remember the first day of school when I had to bring the whole sec 2 level to Kota Tinggi for camp.

I had just cleaned the cages of our two pet bunnies. Then, on a burst of spontaniety, we got dressed and headed for Changi Airport for coffee...at 11pm. My dearest just couldn't bear stay at home, and I could understand how she felt. So about half an hour later, we were at Coffee Bean at T2 drinking Cafe Latte and Mocha Latte.

Fade to Black (Metallica)
Life it seems will fade away
Drifting further everyday
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things not what used to be.
Missing one inside of me.
Deathly lost, this can't be real.
