some tips for 2009 to make it a better one than 2008:
1) Be cheerful and SMILE more
2) Think twice before spending your allowance.
3) with the recession that has come to stay, save up your allowance for emergency days!
4) plan your time well
5) Spend more time with your family
6) Be more generous, the art of sharing/giving is a joy. [i only realized this during the last quarter of 2008)
I've been working part-time during the weekends at Little Skool House. The job is pretty interesting however the hours are long. I guess, i will adapt to it soon. I'm saving up money to treat myself! hope i can treat myself during semester holidays! =DD
To my close friends: I might treat you guys too! maybe ice cream = D
Here's how i spent my 31st Dec '08 afternoons, ENJOY!

To Jocelyn, Nikos, Dorothy: Thanks for the sms! Merry Christmas to you guys too! my sms's just could not get through to you guys. Probably because many people are sending too many messages to each other. its overloaded!
To all my sunday school students: Merry Christmas to you all! May you find happiness and share the joy of finding happiness with everyone! May all be well and happy! May we never falter in the teachings and always question 'why' instead of blindly following. See you guys real soon!
To Jin Jin: Thanks for leaving a tag behind! Merry Christmas to you too! Let's all meet up real soon!
To Jing Xiang and Ming Li: Merry Christmas to you guys! Appreciate you all for being there.
To the rest of the people who i have forgotten: MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
anyway, this is a little Buddhist teachings that i want to tell my sunday school students, if you are non-buddhist and don't mind reading it, then please read on!
The Mangala Sutra has stated that: [i'll just point out a few, this really teaches you things in real life experiences]
This is the highest protection."
Not consorting with fools tells you that:
Fools hold wrong views, that is why they do immoral deeds, and neglect to do wholesome deeds.
In the ultimate sense, not to associate with fools means to remain aloof from foolishness. Whenever one meets others, one should focus on and encourage wise conduct, and overlook or discourage foolish conduct.
To Associate with the Wise tells you that:
Unlike fools, the wise are those who observe basic morality carefully. The wise cultivate wholesome deeds such as charity, morality, meditation, reverence, service, learning the Dhamma, etc., and they hold right views. Wise friends restrain us from evil and urge us to do good.
To Honour Those Worthy of Honour tells you that:
People are worthy of honour for many reasons. One should respect those who provide material and spiritual benefits: parents, teachers, employers, monks, public servants, etc. One should also respect those with more refined morality, greater learning, or greater age. Respect may be shown in various ways, by service, homage, etc.
"Living in a civilized land,
having made merit in the past,
directing oneself rightly:
This is the highest protection."
Living in a Suitable Locality tells you that:
To fulfil the three blessings stated above, we need to live in the right place. In some places it is difficult to meet wise and good teachers who can point out the meaning of Dhamma. [in the case for non-buddhist: it could mean good morals and conduct] Someone who meets only fools, must suffer a lot, even if they are wise and good.
Setting Oneself in the Right Course tells you that:
It takes wisdom and patience to build good character. One who fulfils all of the preceding blessings, will be naturally inclined to cultivate virtue, but most people will have to make special efforts to avoid wrong doing and correct their defects. Knowing one’s faults is a good start, but we need great humility, honesty, and patience to correct ourselves.
I won't be stating all of the sutra down, but just snippets here and there. This here, is the second last verse:
"When affected by worldly conditions,
If one’s mind remains unshaken;
Sorrowless, Stainless and secure,
This is the most auspicious sign. "
When Affected by Worldly Conditions, if One’s Mind Remains Unshaken tells you that:
When the highest path has been attained, the Arahant is unaffected by gain and loss, praise and blame, fame and defame, happiness and sorrow.
Here's a Zen Story to help you explain further: A young girl got pregnant, but did not want to reveal the father. When pressed by her parents, she said it was a monk living in the local monastery. The parents scolded the monk, but he just smiled without protesting. When a boy was born, they took him to the monk and left him. The monk devotedly cared for the boy for seven years. When the girl married, she wanted her boy back, so went and took him. The monk smiled and blessed her and the boy, wishing them every happiness. He did not sorrow over the loss of his novice.
Sorrowless tells you this:
An Arahant is completely free from sorrow, grief, and despair. “From affection springs grief, from affection springs fear. If there is no affection, whence grief, whence fear?” (From the Dhammapada, verse 212) A truly mindful meditator can enjoy similar bliss through keen awareness.
To non-buddhist: this could just mean that if you are ATTACHED to something, there will always come an end to the attachment. It's cause and effect. They come as a pair, without a cause, there won't be a effect. Similarly, with no effect, it would not have a cause nor lead to another cause. Thus, without feeling attached to something will free you from sorrow, grief and despair.
To end this whole post off, i wish everyone a merry christmas and a 2009 year!
cheers!

Was JC really better or is Poly better?
Although i have come from a JC and now i'm in a poly. I really still do wonder what things would be like. Oh well... wondering is one thing. The present and what's ahead is what matters at hand.
Drifting back upon my past decisions and thinking whether i regretted have decided really does not matter doesn't it?
Having gone through this far. I shall not say which side is better as both sides have their good and bad points.
So right now! I am making a resolution that shall put aside all my reservations about my past decisions.
I will and WILL put in more effort in the next coming semester as well as the rest of my life in poly. I WILL get into the Director's List again. I WILL get into that Scholarship list.
For my future, not for anyone else. I WILL DO IT. I have been too complacent over those mediocre gpa's. I have been denying myself from my full potential to do even better.
Any obstacles that block me from my goals WILL be easily overcomed!
I believe in myself, i KNOW i can do it!
So people! Have you given some thought into your future?

On Saturday, I caught this movie , " Mama Mia" at Plaza Singapura GV with Aloysius, Jessica, Jing Yi and Kenrick. Jia Hui, Linet and Pei Ling were supposed to come, but i don't really know why they didn't come. haha. anyway, Mama Mia is like a musical. It's a should watch!
For people out there who enjoyed High School Musical 1 and 2 because of their music and not because of the actors and actresses, you would enjoy Mama Mia even more!
The flu bug is still around. Some of my Sunday School friends got sick on the same day as me. Everyone, please take care of yourself! I passed my flu virus so some people in KE as well as my sister. ahh.. The weather has been freaky these few days too. Everyone please drink lots and eat more fruits!
I almost forgot! Today is cousin's outing and also a farewell dinner to Wei Xiang who's going to army soon! We had dinner at Waraku which is in the shopping centre with Clarke Quay Mrt station one. haha. can't remember. its some Central _________ dunnoe what. haha. I had this eggplant curry. Wooah! it tasted good. However, pricey! its okay. For my dear cousin, as he says, once in a while. My cousins were really nice. They said, " Its okay la! we go see the menu, if don't have anything for you to eat, then we just leave the place and decide on somewhere else to eat. " =))
After that, we walked around the perimeter of Singapore River and the sounds of the F1 racing cars were resonating throughout the whole place. After a while, the sounds kinda got irritating.
We then settled for this Dessert Shop called Ricciotti.
Me, Xiang and Jing Ying shared 2 orders of Ice Cream Gelato! haha. its really really good. lets leave the pictures to do the talking. haha.
Some Strawberry thingy with 2 cookies and one waffle chip. Quite nice and refreshing after a long walk.
A close up picture of the same strawberry one.
Oh! haha! this one is chocolatey! Very sinful! But once in a while, its good fuel to energy! haha.
Anyway, thats all the pictures i have of today. i'll update more! haha.
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Anyway, enough talk! let the pictures do the talking for me! haha.
The cookies that a few of us made for the cycling outing. i think only me, sueying, celeste, aloysius and kenrick made them.
Häagen-Dazs chocolate fondue! Just look at those ice cream balls!
The whole chocolate fondue set!
The fruits section for the chocolate fondue. let's see... there's green apple, strawberry and banana. mmm. =)
Finally a group photo together at Häagen-Dazs. Must thank the Häagen-Dazs person who took this picture for us. haha.
Look at the hamster! It's riding an elephant! and its yellow! ZOMG.
This little water droplet at the Marina Barrage Performance that day. haha.
P.S: its shorter than me. =DDD
Photo of xin ying, me and mingli at the marina barrage.
To end it off, this is KE. made from candles. they were done up by justina and yan zong i think...
thats all for now!
i guess you guys figured why i got so much time to post up so many pictures. haha. yeah. i was too bored. nothing to do. so i decided to put sometime to blog. blogger screwed me up twice. and i had to redo all again. haha
signing off,

人之初
性本善
性相近
习相远
Han Yu Pin Yin:
ren zhi chu
xing ben shan
xing xiang jin
xi xiang yuan
每一个人在刚出生的婴儿时期,本性都是善良的。这种善良纯洁的本性,人人都很接近,并没有谁有谁好,谁比较坏的差别。
但是,随着年龄的增长,每个人的学习环境和所学习的事物不同,有的人努力学习,愈来愈好;有的人却因为不好好学习而日渐堕落。因此,这种原本大家都想进的善良本性,就相差得愈来愈远了。
Translation:
Everyone single one of us who are born, right from the start when we were born, we were all compassionate being and inclined towards doing good. Everyone had almost the same level of compassion and good natured-ness.
However, as we grow up and become more old and mature, our learning environments change. Some of us strive hard for the best while some do not seize the opportunity and just become worse each day. Thus, the initial stage where everyone's state of good natured-ness and compassion has spilt apart and so have all our common good natured-ness and compassion which has slowly spilt apart.
yup. thats it for now. i just thought that i would like to share this bit of information. it really makes sense and sets oneself into self reflection.

On the 3rd of August, my grandfather passed away. The experience was definitely unspeakable.
Firstly, i would like to thank, my project group mates who were there to support me and come over to the funeral wake itself to do the project there [ Calista, Joanne and Melise. ]
Next, i would like to thank Evangeline who was helping me with Accounting past midnight with the test the next day.
Also, i would like to thank Sue Ying for coming down to school to meet me up on that monday to teach me accounting.
Again, Celeste and Sue Ying who were there for me.
Yet again, i also appreciate the help and support that some of my friends from Klavierensemble.
Thank you, Aloysius, Celeste, Jia Hui, Kenrick, Linet, Pei Ling, Sebastian and Sue Ying.

Joanne: hey weihan! if you have a girlfriend, will you tell us[refering to the clique]?
Me: Errr.. No?
Joanne in her high pitched voice: WHY?!
Me: Hahaha. If i got girlfriend then must boast to everyone that i have is it? Having one girl friend is no big deal what, don't need to tell the whole world.
Joanne: Huh? That means we will never know?
Me: Yeah. It's for you all to find out.
*this is where things start to go out of hand as the rest of the class hears the conversation"
Classmate 1: WAH! WEIHAN GOT GIRLFRIEND ALREADY LEH.
Me: =.= ehh. no leh?
*a big hoo haa in the class*
Teacher: Okay! lets take attendance now! today the attendance question of the day is A good student is _______.

Mum: " So late already! later neighbour call police come and catch you then you know!"
me: " Won't lah! I asked my friends. They told me that before 11pm, the neighbours can't do anything because it is still within the legal time limit to make noise."
me: "anyway! i learnt alot about how to play the trumpet today! Let me let you hear what i learnt."
*plays moonlight serenade but stops halfway as thats what i can remember by heart*
Mum: "like that only ah?"
Me: "yah."
Dad tells mum: "He is improving very fast already."
*YAY! dad said i am improving!*
cool! heh heh.
Overall, today was great as i just had an hour of tutorial in the morning at 10am then the rest of the day, it was like TRUMPET practicing time. YEAH. I love it when you are not restricted to play softer at home. Then i find that i improve faster in school than at home.
After which, the new members of Klavierensemble came today for the orientation! COOL LEH! we played a handful of interesting games. haha. most of the time everyone was cheating anyway. haha!
After all the games and introduction, we had a self made healthy-filled vegetable cake with loads of whipped cream put on top. Pictures will come soon. I don't have them with me at the moment.
After birthday caking for Celeste and Weijian [ the april babies] with lots of cream on my face, hair and on Sue Yings face and hair, we cleaned up and everyone headed to KAP macs for dinner! it was like, 40+++ people dominating nearly half of KAP macs. it was just crazy! the staff at macs had to chase the people away to make way for us. SORRY to all those people who were studying for their UNI exams and those JC kids too. haha. *bo bian lo~ we are a big group!*
Haha. then the bishan people took 52 home together.
Random fact of the day:
1) I realised that my voice was in the A key.

After which, Belinda and Sebastian joined us in the late afternoon to go out for dinner. we all had fun and crapped about this certain girl in a certain piano ensemble dating aloy. LOL.
We went out to celebrate Sebastian's belated birthday at Mos Burger. Sebastian thought it would be just an ordinary dinner, but, we bought a cake and suprised him. haha! then we continued to crap on about Aloy and that girl. haha!
yeah. was fun to crap and rubbish with everyone there.
i shall start on today's events which made me so angry!
Today started off well with Financial Management which made the rest bored but certainly not me! it was so intriguing! all the account types and stuff. so interesting.
Right after Financial Management Lecture, i asked the whole class to go canteen 3 for lunch as all of us did not go there before.
Everyone was in awe as we went to canteen 3. the student attractive site in canteen 3 is the sentosa-designed toilet. Joanne was gleefully speaking at the top of her voice saying, " wow! so nice!" haha. *gets punched by joanne if she reads this.*
After that, majority of us headed back to the lecture theatre far far away from canteen 3. lol.
Designing Learning Environment was so-so. nothing much except to comment on the people's lethargic-ness which was something worth questioning at the later part of the day.
After Designing Learning Evironment, everyone headed to another lecture for Math For Young Children.
This is was first time i got so FUCKED up with people who talked during lecture. Here i am trying so hard, straining my ears to listen to the lecturer and there the people are HAPPILY CHATTING away LOUDLY. after so many cues of SHHHH... from multiple people who are concentrating on the lecture, these people just can't take the hint to shut the fuck up and listen to the freaking lecture! even though it is not an examinable module, does this mean that this lecture and module is not important? I really pity our lecturer. She must be feeling damn upset with her students not giving her the due respect, even though she respects her students as individuals.
I am very disappointed... Next time if this happens... i am going to blow my top and shout across the room and ask those talkatives to either shut up and listen to the lecture or leave the class to not disrupt those people who want to learn. Gees. And they are all turning 18 this year. So much for teaching children and asking them to keep quiet at the appropriate times when we our ownselves don't. SORRY man, NO SUCH LOGIC. What happened to ROLE MODELLING? WHAT HAPPENED?
FUCK!

All right! week 1 of school DOWN. Wayyyyy down. Nothing much to do in class other than the usual introduce-youself-games in every tutorial class.
Some how, i just foresee a very huge workload that would soon come piling up high. UP high into the sky mind you. haha!
Infant and Toddler Behaviour Development Module seems to be a heavy module with so many books, chapters, lecture notes and handouts to read before each lecture and tutorial. I guess WEIHAN HAS TO MAKE AN ASPIRATION HERE NOW!
Aspiration: To aim for 4.0 GPA with lots of determination and time management plus hard work that will contribute to the GPA 4.0.
Lastly, i really do hope that i can get a trumpet of my own so i can practice playing the trumpet at home. Only the scholarship award now, makes me look forward to that TRUMPET ON DISPLAY MINE.
*sleepy*
*Yawns*
