Special double post! ~ A trip down memory lane
(Friday, December 12, 2008/10:55 PM)
JLPT3 is over, and my class is undergoing a major overhaul. My sensei wasn't assigned to teach us anymore, and we merged classes with another group. Luckily, I was briefly taught under my current sensei before, so I managed to feel at ease with her conversations and teaching style!
Well, she complimented that I looked more handsome than the last time she saw me (most probably towards the end of NS)! (^0^)* I felt super duper elated to hear that compliment *lol*! Furthermore, that compliment coming from an authentic Japanese, I just might have that teeny weeny bit of chance in snagging a Japanese girlfriend! *hopefully* (>.<)
As I was packing up my messy room, I managed to dig up old photos, so I decided to put them somewhere convenient so that after packing everything up, I could trace my transformation over the years. Haha, sounds a tad bit narcissistic, but it was a handy trip down the memory lane too, reliving memories of my school days.
Look at KC and me at the right side of the pic! Super kiddo-ish *haha*!
Besides the 90s inspired hairstyle, this is one of the better pics of myself in the past. I didn't know that I could actually smile properly without looking retarded! The times I had with Team AY were the best memories I have within me. Perhaps that was what motivated me to smile genuinely without needing to cringe my cheek muscles unnaturally *lol*!
Haha! I found this long lost photo of me and Jaime Teo! Back then, she was hosting a Ch 8 variety show and a few of Team AY peeps such as Sai Kei and Kennard, and I, always never fail to turn up on time for the on-site shooting, just to catch a glimpse of Jaime Teo *rofl*!
This is just one of the many crazy things I did with Team AY. Really glad I was given the opportunity to be a part of the awesome clique that's Team AY. =)
I look extremely retarded in JC. I've got no idea why, but I temporarily lost all sense of fashion. Or maybe it's cos' I slacked off and gain back all my baby fats. I was constantly ridiculed by my JC clique, linking me to a fugly celebrity, and I just lost all my self esteem.
Well, it's all good cos' I learn to groom myself better through this experience. I pay so much attention to fashion now cos' I wouldn't want to relive the days of being ridiculed! No worries, they're still my good friends though. =)
Woots, I couldn't believe there'd be a day in my life where I can see myself getting super tanned and toned. Keep that physical conditioning, perhaps a lighter tan, more hair, and that'll probably be the ideal Benedict look *rofl*.
Kinda sian that my baby fats are returning. After NS, I just can't find any motivation (being forced to exercise by my NS superiors helped too *lol*) to maintain an exercise regime. And also the untimeliness of my illnesses further discourages me. Sigh... =(
Emerge Talentime 2007! Despite battling with illness and self-doubt, I'm glad God saw me through the ordeal and allowed me to shine on stage. Really grateful for the wonderful experience! Awesome support from my CG W429 too! =)
I've got just the right amount of baby fats during this period *lol*. Need to try... to exercise and get my build back down to at least this standard...
Although fatty issues creep back into my life, my fashion sense took a turn for the better (I hope?). I began to seek professional advice from a hairstylist at Storm, and under his guidance, I was able to gain mastery over my hairstyling! (that sounds weird but whatever *lol*! >.<)
Note: By the way, this photo was taken in Japan. Can't wait to return there and explore so many other places I've not been to! Aa, ikitai na! (^o^)
Fast forward back to present day, I've not been able to take many pictures which I look good in *lol*! This is one of the more recent pictures taken which I think I don't look that retarded *haha*! Maybe cos' I felt the love from my CG mates (I received my belated b'day presents from them that day)? I guess, a person's emotional state also contributes to looking nice in a photo! HAHA! =)

HAHA! =)Well, besides the obvious narcissism involved *hehe*, the other intention I had was to highlight the important people I have in my life. In accordance with my previous post, life is fragile and we should cherish our close ones. Seize every opportunity to put a smile on their faces, genuinely get engaged in their lives.
Having good memories of the past is good, but we live in the present, so we should play an active role in creating new pleasant memories to hold on to in years to come! Looking forward to the X'mas party and services. Let our friendships and relationships breakthrough to the next level before the year ends! =)
