after a faithful 5mnths & 13 days, i finally received my super belated present from yvonne. HAHAHA!

well as u can see, its a set of Clinique products for men. woooo. looks damn cool la. hmm issit time to start being metro again? nahhh. dun tink so. =)

thanks leh meinu! gam xia very the much! lol... rlly touched & surprised. n e bookmark ah... diaos lor. wad's written on it. kaos...

BUT dun tink i haf 4gotten abt e treat. haha... okok. i'm just kidding... i'm beginnin to sound damn desp for e treat. hahaha...hmm dono if she'll read dis anot. lol.

aniwae today quek was telling us abt how we musnt let our passion for percussion erode. n when i tot abt it, it was so darn true. i'll hafta admit dat yes, my passion is slowly, but surely dying. i dun give my 100% in practices anymore... n hes right abt us being so sick n tired of playing e same songs over n over again.

so exactly what good does it bring to be part of e grp? or wadeva remains of it. i love being on stage. i love performing. but i cant act. i cant sing on stage (andrea asked me to join Stardunst. but no confidence leh...). so now i'm hoping one day our amateur band, made up of our police mates, will b able to perform someday. n if some band actually approaches me... den may consider joinin dem? actually syafiq asked me once... cos his drummer is gg to aust to study percussion. but i noe how gd their band is... so... lack of confidence again.

but on a more serious note... i've been with TPA since the very beginning. i've seen ppl join n also leave this grp. but nth meant more to me than e grp of 6 of us, who worked so hard last yr for all the performances. mayb it was e strong bonds of friendship. as tough as e practices were, it was ENJOYABLE. it rlly was. n it was great fun... looking forward to practices, cos i'll get to meet all dese frens again. but as it seems now... those days r gg to be a thing of e past. honestly, it saddens me. its like losing ur mates when u go out to battle. i'll miss e days when we lined up at e side of e stage b4 our perf. i'll miss e smiles we give one another on stage as a unspoken
form of encouragement. i'll miss all our nonsense after every prac/perf.

life is abt making choices. n living with them. is it not? we make a decision, n life goes on. so u'll hafta live with wadeva u decided on. if i'd e chance to go back into time... will i still join co? percussion? or TPA? of cos i will. its thru all dese dat i managed to find all these frens. close or distant.

if i can go back into e past, i'll still choose e same path that i took. no regrets. no nothing. i wun change dat decision, for anything in e world. you noe wad i'm referrin to. =)

it's 7:28 AM now
