NUS invitational competition 2006.

it was a blast even though there were no medals won. we had loads of fun cheering and screaming our lungs. we had all pushed ourselves to the maximum and by the end of the day everyone was shagged out.

last NUS training for the year?

ok. yesterday has got to be the worst training ever. i couldn't do anything right. sigh, it's days like this that really get me real down and crying on my knees. i tried and i tried and i tired. it hurts, my muscles ached, my fingers were burning and my legs were giving way. but i didn't wanna stop. i was nernous and i knew it. i was scare and i was hoping some magic would happen and i would be enlighten.

for the days to come, i'm gonna be praying.

let me have faith in myself.

fear creeping in.

i'm freaking. it's like only four days to nus invitational's competition and i'm really freaking. i'm afraid of losing. yikes! god, save me. have i slackened? sigh! i really hope not. anyway, i'll be pushing myself. i'll be bringing out the best in me. for my team and for myself. haha. oh yea. it's sad and strange to now be competing with people i once trained with. sigh once again. why is it this way? hmm...people from stingray, gosh, you dont know how much i miss you guys. i'm always busy. sometimes i question myself, when will i see you people again? will u look at me the same way you guys once did? perhaps things and people change. either way, i still love you peole the same way i always did.

i think all that's on my mine now is the competition. train train and more trainings. please let me have confidence in myself. please dont let my efforts go to waste. i wanna win and i wanna do well. is it too much that i am asking for?

hangin' on to all that i have to offer.

*republic polytechnic's over the wall production at the esplanade
*nus invitation at (erm...duhh) nus

august 6

*national lifesaving open waters championships at sentosa

august 27

*national lifesaving still waters competition




i've been busy. really busy. it's worst than being a dumb bee. my daily routine is waking up at 6am everyday from mondays to fridays and ending school at 4pm. oh no, my day doesn't end there. IGs are what takes up the rest of my time everyday after school. sigh! no social life, no personal space, no time for my mermaid and no time to cry over love. haha. yea ok, maybe i'm loving this busy lifestyle now, but then again, maybe i ain't lovin' it. if i ain't at lifesaving trainings, then you would find me at drama rehearsals.

i'm tired but still very determined. I want to achieve something. I want to be sastified with myself. I want each stroke and each pull to be perfect, I want each move and pitch in my voice to be flawless. So here I am, probably tiring myself out more than i think i would be able to take it.

maybe something's bugging me real bad. maybe i don't know what, therefore, i'm making myself so busy to avoid it.

how far am i to loving you, sweet?
or rather how far are you to loving me?

come home baby.

dad lost mermaid last night.
omg.
i was freaking shock
he said she ran out of the lift suddenly when the doors were closing.

i've been wondering why did she run away?
i mean ive let her off the lesh before.
ive also gotten so pissed with her that i left her downstairs and went back upstairs.
she never ran away...until now.
sigh.
ive been searching for my baby.

mermaid means the world to me.
maybe i love her more than my family.
sig.
i dont know
she's still a puppy and it was raining last night.
gosh!
come home sweetie.
mommy's getting really worried.
i need to hug and kiss you.

curling up to die.

singlehood gives you freedom of all sorts.
but when you want a steady someone to hold you and be there just for you to wipe your tears away and to kiss you and shower you with love, you just lack it.
i wish that someone will walk by again.
as much as i want to remain single at the moment, i still wish that i have someone by me to tell me he loves me.
im screwed and i know it.
my thoughts are a mess.
come my way, i can wait.

ive flooded mysel with all sorts of activities. im pack everyday. ive tire myself to the extend that the flu bug has gotten me.

heaven knows what will come next.

here i am in class on a tuesday morning at 1039am and my enterprise teacher is talking about the world cup.
haha.
that's like the "in" thing now yea? x)
i had liked mr prem, and now i think im lovin' him.
haha.
as in his classes are fun and lively.
*grins.
update later.
class started.

yours truly,

maybe people only see one side of me.
maybe people wouldnt wanna see the other side of me.
i write blog entries, but do people really read and understand them?
i doubt so.
so why do i bother?
i wonder......

so you had a bad day...

school's starting once again tomorrow.
what could be worst, i wonder...


"i promise you, from the bottom of my heart, i will love you till death do us part.
i promise you, as a lover and a friend, i will love you like i never love again with everything i am."


please come my way soon, my mind's a mess and my gazes are all wrong.


i fought with my family again. im beginning to wonder where was the love and warmth i once felt gone to in this family. my bother hates me as much as i hate him now. i cant believe he can threaten to tell everyone what he knows about me. what's wrong with him. think about it when one is mad, one shouts and can get violent. it's normal right? it isnt like he is oh so perfect too. he goes weird and insane when he's made. like he's some perfectionist. i cant believe how much a person can change when they are mad. there he goes bitching about me again...i hate this family...or so i think...


ive discovered the more emotional side of me today. i need someone to be there for me again. i dont wanna cry through this alone no more. sigh.

cos' these days, the sun kick sand...

so i fell asleep twice today during class. i nearly screwed up my presentation too. what made my day was drama after school. my best buddies, the "die hard rocker fans", BJ, Sean, Nicole, Phrabhu and David put a smile on my face and that really lightened my already crappy mood.

at times, i feel that i have everything going my way at this very point in my life, but then i look back and realise how i have been such a failure in my relationship.

my baby boy and i have long drifted. so what makes us now? i dont know. status single, i suppose. i want my prince to come my way soon. im happy and all, but something is lacking and i want to feel all sugary and sweet one again.

oh gosh, do i sound desperate now? haha/ i hope not. oh well, off to do my work.

mixed thoughts.

it's seens like a billion years since i last blogged.
pure madness.

at this point in time, my status is single.
baby's outta my life or so i think.
what went wrong?
i wonder.
we simply drifted and never got back.
i'm tired of trying for it feels like i'm the only one making an effort.

school's been a blast.
thankfully.
new friends and a an improved lifestyle.
hot chicks and hunks.
whackiness and dirty fun.
what more should I expect?

ernest did the sweetest thing for me since school started. To apologise for what he had done (details shall not be revealed)he requested for a song to be dedicated to me by a live band at fish and company (glass house). i would have jumped up and hugged him, by oh well, i beared in mind that i had classmates who would thought of that as "too open". bleah!

goodness, BJ's the lastest obession. haha. i mean, he's just this really bubbly and nonsense guy who speaks about anything under the sky. what more, he's in drama. huggies BJ!

talk about people seeing right through you. Ithought grayson was the only one who could do that to me. guess what. davio can too. shucks! haha. it's scary yet interestingly exciting for some reasons. i wanna work with grayson or davio again soon!

and so it's 1:14 AM in the morning and my back is killin' me. alright i shall turn in now. ciao readers! (if anyone actually read my nonsense)

my best girl friend.

fourth of april, 1989.

happy birthday to me.
happy brthday to me.
happy birthday to Jin......
happy birthday to me!

on this day, i turn seventeen.

what made my day?
jinyi drove all the way to my house and surprise me with a candle lit big slice of oreo cheesecake he baked for me!

we are family :))

sentosa's beach patrol lifeguards!
sun, sand and sea anytime.

it's your day.

happy birthday to you.
i wish for all the good things to happen to you.

the pain is back to haunt me.
stop leading me on when u want out.
it hurts and i wanna cry everytime.
my efforts gone down the drain.
my tears shed were wasted.
i guess i'll grit my teeth and wait.
i'll be ever so good to wait.
i'll be nice.
for all i want is you.
tell me you feel the same way too.
please?

groovin' to the beat.

i've realised how much i've missed you, KIM!
:))
gosh, yesterday was pure ladies night out.
lol.
sadly, mtv's fashionably loud was quite a disappointment.
bitch!!! x)
haha.


i'm off work today. phew!
i'm happy again i guess.
i feel lifted and light.
dancing on tiptoes again :)
over the holidays, many things has changed.
at the end of the day, i guess i'm grateful for all that's happened.
i've seen more of the real world.
i've learnt to take care and love myself more.
i've learnt to treasure my friends more.

crumbled and torn.

had a fight with my dad.
the hatred is still there.
it always will be.
no matter how much i try to earse it, it will be there, like an ugly scar.
you cheated, you pay the price.


this family has no more warmth.
this family is tearing apart.
i'm lost and hurt.


im at the lowest of my low.
for the first time in my life i cant even confine in my bestest friend.
where are you now i wonder and what have you found?
where was your heart when i wasnt around?
you have changed within a few days.
ive lost you and i now know the feeling of pain and rejection.
i thought that it would be a happy ending but now i prove myself so wrong.
night after night tears roll down my face.
did you ever know how i felt?
do you know how much you were missed and thought of?


i feel so lack of love.

under the sea.

all my bags are packed i'm ready to go.
i'm standing here outside your door.
i hate to wake you up to say goodbye.

but the dawn is breaking, it's early morning.
the taxi's waiting it's blowing it's horn.
i'm ready, i'm so lonesome i could die.

so kiss me and smile for me.
tell me that you'll wait for me.
hold me like you'll never let me go.

cos' i'm leaving on a jet plane.
don't know when i'll be back again.
oh babe, i hate to go.

there's so many times i let you down.
so many times i played around.
but to tell you now, they don't mean a thing.

every place i go i think of you.
every song i sing, i sing for you.
when i come back i'll wear your wedding ring.

now the time has come to leave you.
one more time oh let me kiss you.
close your eyes and i'll be on my way.

dream about the days to come, when i won't have to leave alone.
about the times i won't ahve to say...

oh kiss me and smile for me.
tell me that you'll wait for me.
hold me like you'll never let me go.

cos' i'm leaving on a jet plane.
don't know when i'll be back again.
oh babe, i hate to go.






i'm going scuba diving finally!
but i feel reluctant to leave.
sigh.
i'll be missing my baby.

voice within.

have you seen the tears that i've cried?
the sadness in my eyes and the distant look i give?

have you seen the child within?
the shouts and genuine laughter?

have u seen the emotions i show?
my body language and my voice?





do you know me?

i'm the one who wears masks.

i'm the one who may be the rose with torns.
the one which may wither and turn dry.

i'm the one who is a time bomb waiting to explode.

sugar we're going down.

life's a stage and we are all merely just players.

at this point in time. i feel like i'm so stuck in the game. i've been blessed, but maybe then again, not. i feel like i've turned numb. i just wanna let loose and get high for a night. maybe i'm drowning in my own misery unknowingly. maybe i'm lost or maybe i'm lack of real love.

as days pass, i'm praying and hoping and doing good deeds just so i get a damn phone call from temasek polytechic. i want the course so badly! like, i'm desperate!

anyway, i ain't working today. i'm tired out, but i'm digging the beach lifestyle.

i don't wanna hold back any longer. look me in the eye and i'll scream right back at you.

love.

complicated.
women are trouble. men are trouble seekers.
i yearn to be single each day.
guys have made my life tangled and confused.
i seem to have lost that simple independence in me.
that control and grip i used to have in me.
whatever happened?
guys.
sometimes i wish could close my eyes and the answers would just unfold in front of me.
may anyone of you have faith in me.
i didnt mean for things to be like this.

let's talk about grace.

with platform shoes that high, they blance and walk in it with such perfect poise.
with silk that soft and thick, they wear it with such respect and grace.
with make up so fine and thick, they never leak out any secrets of their life.
with hair so black and neat, it never gets our of place.
with such skill and beauty, they turn heads and capture attention.
with a single stroke of a hand, they portray such elegance.
agile and slender.
poise and grace.
class and perfection.
memoirs of a geisha.
they really do prove themselves worthy.

do you remember.

have you ever wondered why i gave three wishes to you.
you asked the question but the answer lie in you.



dear no one in particular,
ever felt lost and miserable? like you fell into a big drain and couldnt get up? you are stuck, feeling cold and alone. i feel like i am in that particular situation. i feel cold when it's warm and i shiver because of nothing. sigh. i wish i'll get out of this whole sticky situation really soon. i need a hand to pull me up. and for once, i wish and pray that amanda will help me up. i love that girl. somehow, in tough times like this, she always seem like the right person to turn to. babe, get me out of this black hole. lead me on the right path once again.

never ever ever ever ever felt so low when you are gonna take me out of this black hole.
never ever ever ever ever felt so sad the way i'm feeling you got me feeling really bad.
the way i'm feeling just dont feel right.

friday night. no smile is plastered on my face. where's the cheery little girl in me? i need help. desperately. my mind is in a mess. i need a shoulder to cry on. i need a friend, a hug and a soothing song.

today, i just wanna be alone. cry my eyes out and pity myself. today, i wanna pick myself up on my own. tomorrow would be a different story.

slip.

opportunities come and go.
ive let many slip by me.
i shall not let that happen no more.
now, when i see an open pathway before me, i shall grab that chance.
im growing up and time is flying be me.
i want to live my teenage years to the fullest.
as much as i hate to grow up, i know no amount of praying and wishing will help.
slip by me no more.
i'll be there.

confession of a teenage drama queen.

somewhere i belong.
clueless and torn.
i'm beginning to realize that maybe i dont know myself well.
what do i really want out of me?
puzzling thoughts.
night after night i think of my past and the present.
who am i?
it seems many people i meet have only seen one side of me.
many a times i wish i could just yell out to the world that i exist and simply let loose.
but then it would hit me that this is reality.
i cant continue to live in my fairytale.
i have to get back down and realize that maybe somethings just cant go my way.
as much as i wish and hope that i can let some people understand how i feel and want, i know it may just not be possible.
but then again, if i do not try, they will never know.
anyways, i'm getting use to life without going to school for the time being.
oh well, ive heard ms nora has left school. gosh i'll be missing her.
ive started working as a lifeguard at sentosa.
really fun.
i'm learning and communicating.
im begining to go out of that protected zone ive lived in for the past sixteen years of my life.
new things come into sight and new thoughts and changes occur.
i hope i'll still stay true to myself.
i am thankful though that i have friends to remind me of where i stand.
friends that give me constant reminder to stay focus and reject unwanted bad influences.
ive learnt to accept and love people the way they are.
everyone has a dirty little secret in them.
i can take that. haha.
i love my life and im determined to find out why jiawei is tired of living. heh.


ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE AND ALL MEN AND WOMEN MERELY PLAYERS.

1st of january 2006.

had lunch with my parents and my cousin, kevin, at some japanese resturant.
kevin's speaks with an accent :)
he's flying back to australia tomorrow night.
i'm gonna miss him.
time really flies.
it always seem like it was just yesterday that we were little and chasing each other around.
now we have drifted. i'm sixteen while he's twenty-seven. big age gap. that probably figures why.

had dinner at hyatt, straits kitchen, buffet.
mommy bought me an expensive gift, a two hundred dollar guess leather bag. it's making me feel really guilty.

we fought again today.
it seems like everything is going wrong nowadays.
i dont even know what i've done wrong.
depression is creeping in.


where'd you go?
i've missed you so.
seems like it's been forever that you've been gone.
please come back home.

aint i sweet.

christmas.

make merry and be jolly. have yourself a merry little christmas.

two days before christmas i decided it was time for a new colour change for my nails.
i figured since it was suppose to be a joyous occasion, why not paint it bright pink.
and so i did.
on christmas eve i decided my nails were too plain.
i thought christmas was special, why not put nail art on my nails.
and so i pasted colourful flowers on my nails.
and now i think it's pretty enough :))

christmas day, finally.
i met my honey at noon and we spent a couple of hours together at junction eight just like we did last year on christmas eve.
we have been rather broke lately, so i figured we wouldnt be exchanging any presents this christmas.
but anyways, i did give him a little gift.
i made a handphone keychain for each of us. it spelt our names and mine was red and his was blue with a little bell car at the bottom. i made a powerpoint slide for him too, which was burnt onto an angel cd.


and at night, i watched princess diary on television while having a western home cooked meal by my dad with my family.
i drank a little sakae and topped the sumptous dinner off with a tiny japanese dessert and a thin slice of ice cream log cake.
perfect ending.


so what exactly does christmas means?
i think it is the season to give and share graciously.


i simply love christmas.
it really would be wonerful if it snowed and we could all build snowmans and make angels in the snow.
it would be romantic to cuddle up in front of the fire place with my darling and sip hot chocolate.
i would want to have a gorgeous tree with the brightest star at the top and lovely presents at the bottom.
it would be a dream come true.

merry christmas.

here's to world peace.

especially dedicated to KIMBERLY =D

sun.sea.sand.

OUTING WITH APANDA WAS SIMPLY INSANE.
AND KIM, I TRIED THE "MUA JI" THING ON HER!
WAHAHAHA!

creating my new self.

so i ditched my job at wild wild wet. i was so close to getting it, but i thought fun was much better. you see it was suppose to be a three day course. i went for the course on the first day ( tuesday, 6/12/2005 ) and decided that the training was so slack. if something were to happen ( touch wood ), i did think the victim would die. haa! the lifeguards there seem to be just for show. oh well, anyway, i still need a job. i am DESPERATE.

chalet was super fun. thank god i ditched the course and went for chalet instead. pity it was just a one night stay. sigh! no matter, i learnt a lot about my team mates. the bond we have has definetly strengthen. so i also realize that the sauces i have at home are all very western. haha. hmm. we prepared the food at my house. created a big mess and killed cockroaches. heh. yea. we cycled hard and played uno attack real hard. lol. we are really a bunch of big kids. grins. i think my coaches like the arena shirts we gave them. we played with the kids, mingled with the adults. it was a team gathering. PURE FUN =))

here's the good thing, i have grown a little darker! haha! oh and i went to walk baby's doggie today. he's a cutie. omg, you know what really freaked me out? ronnie, baby's doggie, went bersak and kept clinging onto my leg. i think it was horny? wahahahhahaha! i later went to his house and kinda got hook on playing his game. hid mom gave my home made kaya and i think i;m addicted to it. oh no. i'm suppose to be getting that athlete body! HEE =P

things i'll never say.

i'm tugging at my hair
i'm pulling at my clothes
i'm tryin' to keep my cool
i know it shows
i'm staring at my feet
my cheeks are turing red
i'm searching for the words inside my head
i'm feeling nervous
tryin' to be so perfect
cos' i know you're worth it

walking on tiptoes.

im feeling happy.
im grinning from ear to ear.
i finally met his parents.
they were nice.
we had home cooked western meal by his mom.
it was fabulous.
i love dessert best of all.
yummy =)).
i can see myself living with his mom and dad.
haha.
for once i wanna be in his kitchen and learning to bake from his mom.
i love them.
but i think i was too shy though.
yea, so unlike me.
i wanna marry you baby.
i wanna be part of your family.




WITH YOU I CAN LET MY HAIR DOWN.
I CAN DO ANYTHING, CRAZY.
I KNOW YOU'LL CATCH ME RIGHT BEFORE I HIT THE GROUND.
WITH NOTHING BUT A TSHIRT ON.
I NEVER FELT SO BEAUTIFUL.
BABY AS I DO NOW.
NOW THAT IM WITH YOU.

=))

I GOT THE JOB AT POLICE ACADEMY AS A PART TIME LIFEGUARD.

going back in time.

the beatles.


classic.
those were the days where pure and real music existed.
soothing and certainly makes you dreamy.
at times, you just wanna get up on your toes and dance.
you would wanna go back in time and be dress in a flower print sun dress and just twirl under the sun in a big garden.



if only the world was so beautiful.
if only times were like the past.
uncomplicated and definitly not hectic.



you just feel more light hearted and simply feel like smiling istening to the beatles.
respectable and worth remembering.



i want to be in that flower print sun dress and be on my toes dancing now. =))

i am sam.

sweet and moving.
shows a loving relationship between a father and his daughter.




ive been truly touched. imagine a grown man with the ability of only a seven year old fighting for custody of his beloved daughter. i believe every parent be it mentally or physically capable should be given the full right to take care and give their love and concern to their child. i mean, so what if you arent born perfect? that doesnt mean you dont have feelings. sam is an exact example. though he has disabilities, he loves lucy. so much that he goes all out to do anything for her. he's willing to learn and accept new things. how many parents actually can do that? i think sam is really a wonderful father. he is now and always will be. alright, maybe the court is right. what will happen when lucy grows up and goes through puberty? she will obviously change. but i feel that no matter how lucy will eventually change, she'll still love her dad. isnt it human nature to have emotions? lucy will be grateful to her father. sam will always love lucy. that's the way things should go.




i love you mom and dad.

kiss and tell.

13/10/2005

daddy's out of the country.
russia.
haha.
lucky him.


bro's staying in colin's hostel tonight.
too quiet to be true.
*chuckles.


mum's watching the box.
no nagging tonight.
at least not yet.
*grins.

me?
i'm mugging.
just dropped by to add a senseless entry.
ciao! =))

daddy dearest,

if anything should happen to me in the near future, just remember that you once felt my love for you.
if you ever see me tear, leave me alone.
dont ask, for it may hurt more.
if you dont see the twinkle in my eyes no more, please know that ive tried my best.
if im not my usual bubbly self, please lend me a listening ear.
daddy dearest, you were always there for me but I just didnt know how to open up to you.
there's a lot of pain in me.
i tried to be your perfect little girl, but I guess it didnt work out.
i did all i could to make things right, but im getting really tired.
maybe im not trying hard enough or maybe things were just meant to be this way.
either way, i dont know how long more i can take this.
daddy dearest, i will always love you.
i couldnt ask for anything else.
you gave me everything i wanted.
but in return i have let you down.

gone are innocent lives.

bali bleeds again.
what's the world becoming to?
the once peaceful and safe world has been corrupted.
what's happening?
why has people change?
what has caused them to change?
what do these bombers want to sacrifice themselves?
what made them do it?
have they ever thought of the countless of innocent lives they would be takng along with them?
it's unfair.
these innocent lives were caught without warning.
they weren't given the chance to fulfil their dreams and say goodbye to their love ones.
among these precious lives, were the young and capable.
the thought of these tender lives being taken away, makes me tear.
children and teenagers are our future.
why harm them?
what have they done?
whatever happened to the love?
blood in the streets.
the sight of the affected area must have been disgusting and saddening.
bodies everywhere.
the worst thing to witness is a victim who's body is still intact but her face has been half blown away by the bomb.
she's moaning in pain, and each time she moans, blood squits out from her neck.
nothing can describe the pain and agony these victims were going through.
a beautiful little country turned into ashes with blood shed eveywhere within seconds by a powerful thing called a bomb.
perfect families broken apart.
happy holidays turned into a living nightmare.
it is no longer safe out there.
times have changed.
people have become more cunning.
it seems no one can be trusted.
it seems the world is coming to and end really soon.

from <3ing you.

i had you
i had everything
i ever needed


from my first look i knew
i found heaven in your eyes
but who was to know the way it would go
i have no regrets


i was loved
i was touched
and i learnt what love is


i was blessed
so blessed
cos' i learnt what love is
by loving you

i held you
i held everything
i ever dream of


with that first kiss from you
all this world seem so right
but who was to see the way it would be
i'll never forget
all the heaven we shared

/literature/

you know you love me.

ninety miles outside chicago.
can't stop driving,
i don't know why.
so many questions,
i need an answer.
two years later you're still on my mind.

i bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow.
watch the stars crash in the sea.
if i can ask god just one question.
why aren't you here with me.

someday we'll know if love can move a mountain.
someday we'll know why the sky is blue.
someday we'll know why i wasn't meant for you.

oneday i'll go dancing on the moon.
someday you'll that i was the one for you.

true love just once in a lifetime.
im speeding by the place that i met you for the ninety-seven time.

j u s t i n . z

looking at my brother work his arse off on his ibook, it makes me think of my life with him for the past sixteen years. My brother, unlike me, is a pure all rounder. Smart and sporty, he came from an unknown primary school, ChongSan Primary to Catholic High School to HwaChong Junior College and finally NTU. Sigh. My brother's from the Navy and his a really good athele. He plays soccer every week and goes jogging constantly. I used to hate having him as my brother. I thought it was so taxing on me. I mean think of it. Your sibling is what every parent wants and me? I turned out wrong. I used to cry over this. It felt so unfair to me. Why was it that my brother has the brains and I'm so not academically inclined? Nights of pondering and years of crying has finally made me accepted the fact that everyone is different. Though my mom has always been telling me this, I refuse to listen. But now, I do. I've learnt not to compare myself with my brother. I'm proud of him now. The thought of him as my brother, my closest sibling makes me smile. Justin, a first year NTU student taking mass communication. =)) I love my brother. No matter how we fight and yell at each other, there will always be this bond between us. I really think my brother is unique. His the kind of guy who loves to protect the environment and constantly watches the discovery channel. He reads magazines like times that my journalist father reads. My brother is very into politics. I think it's cool, having a brother lke him. I really admire him. He's the guy who looks like any other guy from the outside, but I know that many things are going on in his mind. He's a really positive man. My brother has influenced me in many ways. He thought me to play english chess and he was the one who gave me a book by Richard Carlson entitled "Don't sweat the small stuffs". He was also the guy who went to taiwan and bought me a pair of sneakers which was a size bigger. You see, all these things put a goofy smile on my face. Don't be deceived by my brother's intellectual mind and tann looks. He's really a kid at heart. Although he's smart and all, he still goes crazy like me at times. We are still our parents little treasure at home. In one way or another, we resemble each other. I'm definitely thankful for having my brother.
