    <content type="html">everyday,&lt;br /&gt;we get to give the gift of life.&lt;br /&gt;it can be painful,&lt;br /&gt;it can be terrifying,&lt;br /&gt;but in the end it's worth it.&lt;br /&gt;every single time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we all have the opportunity to give,&lt;br /&gt;maybe the gifts aren't as dramatic as winning the lottery,&lt;br /&gt;maybe the gift is to try and make a simple apology,&lt;br /&gt;maybe it's to understand another person's point of view,&lt;br /&gt;maybe it's to hold a secret for a friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the joy supposedly,&lt;br /&gt;is in the giving.&lt;br /&gt;so when the joy is gone,&lt;br /&gt;when the giving starts to feel more like a burden,&lt;br /&gt;thats when you stop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but if you're like most people,&lt;br /&gt;you give till it hurts,&lt;br /&gt;and then,&lt;br /&gt;you give some more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;merry christmas?</content>

Bye Bye Ipod. (Stolen by some faggot who will probably die of lung cancer soon)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Bye Bye Projects&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Bye Bye Grace&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.

Airport send off yesterday at the NEW&lt;br /&gt;changi T3. apparently theres much i didnt see.&lt;br /&gt;T3 IS IMMENSE. so many things to see, so little time.&lt;br /&gt;bought a few stuffs from Candy Empire to munch on.&lt;br /&gt;Well then came the dumb bus ride. IT WAS DAMN LONG.&lt;br /&gt;word of advice, never take 24 from the airport. it sucks.&lt;br /&gt;at least an hour wasted just on the bus.&lt;br /&gt;but me and ru talked a whole lot. We ended up cabbing in the end though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha the best part of last week.&lt;br /&gt;TUESDAY.&lt;br /&gt;played ball with lh, kw and DJ. A nice way to better my skills, which are so lacking.&lt;br /&gt;played quite alot that day. After which was us to meet a few other friends.&lt;br /&gt;I made new friends that day. LAUGHED LIKE MAD as usual.&lt;br /&gt;namely, jerome, mark, gabriel, adrian.&lt;br /&gt;well we first decided to go LAN-ing. and we had&lt;br /&gt;AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE UNDERWORLD KIND.&lt;br /&gt;omg. haha that was madness.&lt;br /&gt;we were playing and sorta making a ruckus.&lt;br /&gt;which made some guy damn pissed off.&lt;br /&gt;he was playing audition and i guess we made him screw up the keys. HAHAHA&lt;br /&gt;well he was that pissed off, that he decided to call his minions.&lt;br /&gt;In the end we just walked off, he tried to follow us.&lt;br /&gt;but he got deterred by the word POLICE. LMAO.&lt;br /&gt;after which adrian met up with us as we just made the bus just in time.&lt;br /&gt;we made a ruckus on the bus as well. hahaha&lt;br /&gt;i think the bus driver told us to tone it down. oh wells. it didnt stop there.&lt;br /&gt;we then headed down to wen chun's house, which was COLOSSAL&lt;br /&gt;seriously. it's damn big. no pics now, but probably next time.&lt;br /&gt;we had pizza for dinner/supper, played pool, talked crap, played limit hold'em&lt;br /&gt;played push up "Tai-Tee", swam, played blackjack.&lt;br /&gt;well thats madness for you.&lt;br /&gt;the remaining survivors were down to 4. the rest dozed off like pigs.&lt;br /&gt;me, lh, marcus and jerome played push up tai tee till wee hours in the night.&lt;br /&gt;we ended up sleeping at 5, having to wake up 30 minutes later. WTF&lt;br /&gt;me and marcus left early, having to go to school(F That).&lt;br /&gt;we took a long train ride back to tampines where i had a nominal breakfast of&lt;br /&gt;mamee snack and pokka coffee(energy boost) at TPJC.&lt;br /&gt;school was a bummer.&lt;br /&gt;i wasted no time in heading home to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;that was the last time i heard from my ipod as well. sigh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ahh theres just so much to write about.&lt;br /&gt;family gatherings was nice this year!&lt;br /&gt;had fun playing rubik's cube. i only can solve one side. DONT LAUGH&lt;br /&gt;played cards and mahjong with my cousin's to their demise. hahhaa&lt;br /&gt;i won!&lt;br /&gt;thats pretty much it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so just another BIG post dumped onto this blog-o-mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;new revelation:&lt;br /&gt;NO MORE RELATIONSHIPS. (i think)&lt;br /&gt;they are such a waste of time. if it comes, it comes.&lt;br /&gt;i wont bother anymore.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;valentine's day is just another stupid excuse for you to be with a girl.&lt;br /&gt;why do it&amp;nbsp;then, when you can do it every other day?&lt;br /&gt;THATS PURE LAME. everything else is super inflated on that day. MAD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SG Flyer trip coming up in march! =)&lt;br /&gt;i have 2 tickets!&lt;br /&gt;i had intentions, but i'm gonna trash it.&lt;br /&gt;i'll probably see what to do with it when the date closes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff" size="1"&gt;no point waiting for something that doesn't come your way.&lt;br /&gt;constant hope gets battered everyday.&lt;br /&gt;i'm quite done waiting and standing there in the corner.&lt;br /&gt;even if you want to be a part of something bigger,&lt;br /&gt;that chance may never happen.&lt;br /&gt;so that's it. i'm done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" size="6"&gt;SO BYE BYE FOLKS ITS BLOODY LATE.&lt;br /&gt;THANKS TO PRISON BREAK and some work. =\&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</content>
