The Pines Gathering.

Met up at 'The Pines' for Emilia's early birthday celebration. Was accompanied by Gabriel and Hoiyan. Eye of envy listening to Gabriel's poly lives. Seeing them comparing the orange Ez-Link card really made me regret not studying hard enough in Secondary school.


Arrived late upon our destination due to the fun we had in bus, thus missed the stop. The group was waiting for us to sign the big birthday card. Saw a couple of friends, went to said hello. Feelings wasn't the same as before. Maybe its because we are of different educational standered. However, became relaxed as they did not treat me any differently. When they are exchanging their poly stories, I felt outcasted. Went up to them and told them how jealous I am, seeing them in polytechnic. They consoled me and told me its alright. Encourage me to study hard and I would be of the same track as them soon. Words from them really made the tears form in my eyes. I want to be like them, enjoying the same school lives. But I can't.



We took lots of pictures together as a form of memories. Hopefully these memories would not fade off in me or anyone of them as time passes. They are once my motivator, my pillar of strength and my shoulders. They are all bright students whom could make it big in future. What am I to them? An entertainer who brings them joy? Or am I really one of them? I don't know, but for what I knew, they are once important people in my life. I would remember this till the very last breath.

Although we did not keep very much in contact with. But I know when I'm in times of crisis, these 'pillars' would still stand by me and give me the emotional support I need like before, to pull me through. I believe in them, because that's what friends are for. Right?

Tribute to : Meilinda, Hoiyan, Weihao, Ericsson, Rabindra, Gabriel, Chorheng, Jianyu, Jamlin, Milan, Darwin and Emilia.

Caution : Not to Sleep in MRT.

I would do crazy stuffs that would make people mad once in a blue moon. I was on my way home with Xinsheng in the MRT, and I had these thoughts of disturbing this boy who is sleeping soundly in the train.

Lets welcome Sleeping beauty in the MRT!

After I did this, I get more n more excited and wanting to take more pictures with him. I seldom do crazy stuffs. I consider this crazy because I always have 'no balls' to do such things as I do not want to get into trouble. On the other hand, Xinsheng felt very bad, but compiles to it. Poor Xinsheng had to endure the stares given by the passenger in the MRT.

Imitating his sleeping.

I reckoned he knew that he had been made fun of, but he's unsure about it. Because he would get up once in a while to take a look at the surrounding. After Xinsheng 10 counting, he would doze off and his head would drop down and sleep again. Guessed life in the working industry ain't easy huh?

You! Yes you! Can't you see I'm making fun of you!?

Thanks to the accomplice, Xinsheng for making our 16minutes journey a wonderful one. Not forgetting to thank the boy whom I made fun of.

Thank you Sleep Beauty

PS : This is just a joke, sorry if I've offended anyone of you out there. I know it's childish to do this, but it's a form of entertainment for me. I sincerely apologised to the boy I've make fun of.

1st day of ITE.

Okay, first day of school, not really what I expected. I expected to see lots of 'Ah Bengs' in my class, expected to hear vulgarities being shouted across the auditorium, expected to see many with skinny jeans and slippers and expected many in my class to be rowdy. But, no. They were bunch of quiet people, sitting quietly on the seats while listening to every words the speaker said as though they are in a church enlightening by the pastor.

When we proceeded to playing game, my classmates were shy and so, the game was not well played. However, being the odd one who is friendly, outgoing and with an elephant thick skin, I start the ball rolling by making fun of the 'Bridge Leader' - doing some stupid faces which irritated some of my classmates I reckoned. After that, game went on smoothly and lots of laughter could be heard in this class of mine. Everyone knows my name and therefore, sabotaging me and making those beside me suffer the consequences. Well, too bad, I lost in the last round and had to do a forfeit which is to spell my name, Dickson with my bottom. I accepted the forfeit and proceeded to doing something which I couldn't believe I was doing. Imagine doing something so stupid in front of a 42strangers whom you met for just a few hours. The feeling was horrible. After that 'performance', my face went cherry red.

Did I mention about being recognized by one of my primary four classmate? The feeling was so great. She asked if I am Dickson. With a puzzled look, I ask who is she. She told me she is the one whom always got bullied by me in Primary school. I was so glad that she still remembers me and treated me as her friend. There is a girl, Suzy whom is very friendly too. I reckoned she will be a top student in my class. She is caring towards me, her friendly gesture warmth my heart and from that moment, I knew she would be a very good friend of mine. There are still more people I would like to share with you. But guessed I'll keep you in suspense and await for the upcoming post.

Being in ITE isn't a bad choice after all. Not all students are bad like we think they are. Singaporeans are just being stereotype. Hoping I will excel in ITE. I need to work hard, work hard and work hard. Hopefully, this two years will be a fruitful experience to me. *pondering*

The Truth.

After my BFF, Xinsheng left for China on a vacation trip. I realised one thing. I do not have many friends. My sister told me that she reckoned he is my only friend. Because I only spent my time with him, goes out with him and enjoy with him. Not many friend calls me after he left except if they need any help from me. I began to understand what my mother's neighbour told me.

He told me God gave us ten fingers for a reason. The reason is that in life, you will only have ten friends or less. And if you have more than that, they ain't your friends, but someone who would take you for granted and used you. He owns a pub couple of years ago and travel to lots of countries. He is loaded and often treat his 'friends' to restaurants and KTV. When his friends are in need, he would fork out a lump sum of money to help them. He is a very generous and humble man. After his business went downhill, he became penniless and had to take over his mother's job in a neighbourhood selling clothes. There will be one or two friends coming by and talk to him occasionally, and they are always the same people. So, he told me not to put in too much trust in what do we term as 'friends'.

I have no friends. After all those party-ings with my secondary school mates and gatherings. I found out that we ain't really close actually. I cleared my phone list upon graduating and so do they. When I text them, they would ask me who I was, and vice versa. I reckoned that we are all very fake towards one another. We would be smiling and chatting away happily but when we were alone, we would forget about everything. So overall, I only have Xinsheng as my friend and my real friend, I hoped.

So lastly, I would said that not everyone are true towards you and also, the other way round. Do not trust someone so easily because there would be consequences. When there is someone out there who is true towards you as a friend, grab hold of that someone and who knows he/she would be your 'lucky star' for the long run in Life.
