OMG. My next book out is in 3 weeks (13th Feb) instead of 2 weeks which is bad enough! Scary shit! Because ___ is over one weekend and ___ might be over another! Rarr. I really want to book out more! Argh. Anyway, I've gotten over the medium sized photos thing, because the photos still look super nice (: This bookout has been pretty good and I've made good out of the time so yay. I wish I was going back to school today (Tuesday already...) instead of camp. I miss VJC and all my friends!
Everyone please pray for me so I can bookout in time for Vdae! Please please please!

I'm still
damn pissed at whoever changed the size setting of my camera from large to medium during the class BBQ! I wasn't even there when it happened! Stupid la. Rarr, all my nicest and most most most important photos are smaller than they could have been! Those of the day before enlistment with all my bestest friends and my hair! Rarr. Damn pissed. I only found out when I was enlisting! So irritating la! And although I can't change it, I detest it. I dunno why I'm so pissed! I think it's like I always like big big photos, and these photos could have been bigger and nicer, and were reduced in their niceness for no good reason! But at least I still have the photos (: At least I still have these memories. Anyway, my first book out has been nice (: I wish I could have met up with more people, but I think I really do make the best of my time!
The life I left behind will never leave me.

I'm where the heart belongs! (:
I can't blog anything about what went on during training, so not much to say. Training is tough, especially since I'm in the enhanced batch and everything's squeezed together. But I'm fine! The first week took a lot of adjusting and getting used to, but the 2nd week on was just routine. People are generally nice and I've made a few friends already so yay! I miss everyone I haven't had a chance to see for these 2 plus weeks and I flipped through my photo album staring at home across the sea...

This is where I take the first steps into a truly new life. This is the life I leave behind. I am going to lead a new life, but I will step back into my old shoes when I am off that island. I will always be the Mark Heng you know. The happy, cheerful and sometimes emo Westlife-singing one. I will always be the one who wants to change the world for the better, the one who wants to travel around the world with his friends and camwhore with anyone, anywhere (:

I'll see you in 2.5 weeks time! (: In the meanwhile, keep in touch with me and never let me go. Because I am still here, and friendships go beyond physical distance (: Lots of love! And to my wingyan, never give up on me. Love! <3

What if you had to give up a childhood dream, a lifelong ambition? Of course, there is good reason for it. When you face so many obstacles, you realise that the dream dilutes into an obligation - to not disappoint those who believed in you. But then you realise that there are so many things that are more important to you than just a childish dream - reality, for one, and love, family, friends, risk. Just believe in yourself, that someday, your path will be laid bare for you, and for you alone. (:

I first encountered the beauty of music as it transcends language sitting in James Koh's car with Cantonese music and my Indieventure group. We were all like wth and he calmly explained that sometimes it's nicer to listen to music without knowing fully consciously what it means.
Now that I've explored so many different genres of music (mostly English or Chinese), I've finally begun to appreciate music from other languages - French, Welsh, Swahili, Zulu, Japanese, and of course, everyone knows I love Korean music. Not just any crap, but the pure sound of a choir or boybandish R&B, so I can still relate.
As your mind drifts beyond fully comprehending the lyrics, you start to sense, appreciate and immerse yourself in the aspects of music that actually matter. The music itself - the tune, melody, harmonies - the subconscious emotion of the tone the singers convey, and deep down, you feel what the whole song it about without really understand it in the first place. That is the beauty of it!
You stop paying so much attention to lyrics, and appreciate the song at another level. Within every syllable, every ring of the keys, you sense the angst of missing a loved one and saying goodbye, the joy of finding love in your life, the happiness in finding friendship, the longing and awe as you glance across the landscape set before your eyes, the epic stories of times long lost.
So, thank you for the music (:

I know nothing can come close to everything that I've experienced in 2008. So, that's another year gone, and now we're into 2009! 2008 was a wonderful year, and as many would concur, it's been a rollercoaster, but it has ended on continuous highs! Yay! :) I'm so glad for all the experiences, good and bad, that I had in 2008, all the many new friends I made and catching up with old ones. It's been a fulfilling year and I have no big regrets. I'll really miss VJC and all my friends, but even as we move on, the memories stay in our heart. This isn't goodbye! :)
