howdy all you boys and girls. today on a very special edition of TFTS VI or, in this case, TFTT, i'd like to introduce you all to one of my closest friends, Alfred Coholl or Al, as we all call him. now i can safely say i've actually lost touch with Al about 2 years back. never seen him that much since the last couple times we partied. and boy we had some good times. ;) so it's without a doubt i can say i was pretty much excited about meeting him again. i didn't have that much of you that night, Al, but thanks for a wonderful time again anyway. i kinda missed your taste on my lips and how you burn them with your fiery passionate essence. i missed all the times when i had you inside, making me go crazier with shot after shot. you do know how to really turn me on sometimes. haha. i really don't care what people think but i think i love you. i really do. and i wish i could see you again soon, but unfortunately, too much of you can't be a good thing, can it? boy i'm so confused. i know one thing though, i will cherish all the memories i had with you. you turn any night into a fun and exciting one. wink wink. so, till we meet again, here's me saying you'll always be mine, AlCoholl. (what were you people even thinking?)
P.S. i hope you liked my darling friends as well. boy you sure do mix around good. =]

ZOMG.
what's this, you say? it's exam time and you're blogging, Calvin? shouldn't you be studying? do you realize that this is mid semester? this is gonna prepare you for the trials and the finals! you really shouldn't be this irresponsible, i mean, it's not like this is some class test or anything. something you can just go easy on. its mid-freaking-semester! whatever you've learnt since March would be coming out to test your knowledge and what you've learnt so far. this is very foolish of you not to be mugging 24/7 for your paper tmr. how is it you can be so relaxed and calm in the midst of this crazy time? don't you take anything seriously, Calvin? why are you so carefree about life and so cool about school? you're not even getting a proper rest before the exam. hell, you're not even sleeping sometimes. this isn't high school where you can just cram and cram and come out tops in the finals. cramming does you no good. you should have started a long time ago. but instead, you were so happy-go-lucky and so idle, watching the world pass you by. sometimes i think it's because you don't care about anything, Calvin. you're still taking your own sweet time to revise and catch up with what you've missed out. are you ready for the coming exams? are you? so why are you blogging when the exams are going on right now?
because i can. ; ]

Thought for the Sunday V
guten haben mein dammen und herren. =] welcome to another episode of 'Thought for the Sunday' with yours truly. hope you guys had a smashing weekend. i know i didn't what with the exams coming up and all. curse all you assessments. life would be so much easier without these scholastic grade markers and educational ranks. what is 'rank' anyway? just a little piece of certification to show that you're higher than someone else. but i do have to say that it has its merits. after all, its what the outside world wants to see. anywhere you go, its level this and rank that.
speaking of ranks, i've finally watched the most amazing mini-series i have ever laid my eyes on. those of you who really know me, would know that i'm a military-obsessed lunatic plus i'm kinda into the whole world war II era type stuff with hitler and the nazis and the germans and the swastikas and the tight leather pants..umm okay i better stop there. so anyways, this mini-series is called 'Band of Brothers' and its all about, yes you guessed it you smart little thing, world war II and hitler and the nazis and the germ...fine i'll stop.
the whole premise is taken from the adventures and experiences of Easy Company and the rest of the 506th Parachute Infrantry Regiment. these tough momma-jammas were the ones who were sent in on D-Day to liberate parts of Europe from the Krauts. (offensive nickname for Germans), sent to Bastogne in France during the "Battle of the Bulge' and also to destroy Hitler's residence called the 'Eagle's Nest.' under the guidance and leadership of MAJ Richard Winters, CPT Ronald Speirs, CPT Lewis Nixon and 2LT Carwood Lipton, Easy Company was led to victory in liberating Europe and also in defending the various people who were undermined by the Nazi Regime. (check these links out if you're like me =|)
Watching episode after episode made me realise something however. it made me realise that you could have the best leader in the world, under the best leadership in the world. but when you go out there, you will never really know what the enemy has got planned for you. just like life. and you can't really rely on leadership to get you out of bad situations. sometimes you have got to lead your leader. because if we really want success, then its a joint effort. all you need are your wits, your hands and your heart. and just like the men of Easy Company, you need a good team who looks out for each other and backs each man up. the dedication which was portrayed was incredible. and truly enough, it also portrayed what i've learnt from my army days: you could have the highest rank among your men, but it's your actions and not your rank that your men will eventually come to respect.
so with that said, i salute the men of E Company and whatever they have gone through. i also salute the men of E Company who were left behind, who died fighting for their country. all your bravery, courage and right out guts really got me questioning my own and what i would have done under the similar conditions. currahee! =]

Thought for the Sunday IV
"In a friend, you find a second self."
- Isabelle Norton
i realise i haven't exactly taken the time to write this down and i know i don't have to because the people in question here should already know it. but i kinda actually want to because i feel i express things better with words. and words are all i have since being physical would pretty much be inappropriate right now. so i'd like to start now and thank the clan and clique for being the people they are and for the bond we've established in such short notice. i can honestly say i feel like i've known you all my life Karl, Avi and JJ. the day's just another grain in the hourglass; the ticks in a clock; the sun moving aimless without you 3 best mates. it's really weird how much common ground we stand on and how everything suddenly seems funny with you guys around. but call it fate/luck/karma/superstition/destiny/coincidence/irony/chance or just plain randomness that we ended up in the same boat, it's still really good to know you dudes and i want you to know that. and no, my emo-ness has nothing to do with anything. im feeling rather melancholic and nostalgic tonight so yeah. i think it was Karl who first mentioned the phrase "taking a bullet" and i'd like to assure him that i'd also be a Lieutenant Werner von Haeften to you Colonel Claus von Stauffenbergs in the firing squad of life. (uh you may need to watch Valkyrie to understand that one.) so this is me saying cheers to our bonds of brotherhood and long live sacred germany. love ya guys.

Thought for the Sunday III
have you ever...
wanted something you never had?
wanted someone so very bad?
then realise you cannot pull through
since the plague only lies within you.
that very layer of your heart lies torn,
from all the lying and scorn.
then you find yourself at the brink.
just wondering what they will think.
it's time you wait at opportunity's doors,
and know that it's not their life but yours,
because this world doesn't wait for men
who shy away from a life condemned.
it's about you, my dear, and what you choose
who am i to make you lose?
your god-given right to what you want
and to whom your love you wish to flaunt.
they say if you want something, you set it free
if you find it back, it's meant to be
and i would throw you to the draught
but you're not mine and mine to have
the heartaches and want which still linger on,
cannot compare to those tired waking morns,
when i awake from those unreal dreams
of just you and me under the seams
and when it comes to another day
when the stars are out and the moon does stray
i think of like how it would be
of just me and you: eternity.
have you ever wondered or imagined?
just us together among the pageant.
and i'm telling you things i should have said
of why i lie and pretend to be someone else instead.
the truth is plain and the truth is strange
my heart and yours are out of range.
the beats all match and the rhythm arise
i chose you to synchronize.
so now hope and faith is what i toll.
its only you i want to have and hold. <3
all rights unreserved.
to be used on that special person we all have a place in our hearts for.
