washing clothes
I was having my morning bath when i heard the rattling of baskets from outside.
'It must be mother collecting laundry to wash from other rooms,'i thought.
Wasnt really bothered, i continued soaping myself when the bathroom door suddenly burst opened!
I always lock the door whenever i'm in the bathroom. Really.
For some reasons, maybe i was too tired and didnt lock i properly or the intruder has a way to open locked doors!
It was mother.
"oh good the door is not lock,"she said,"I come in a while, i want to take the clothes to wash"
With that, she strolled into the bathroom (yes, with me inside bathing) and took out my dirty clothes.....
And i was looking at her while she was doing so.
Before i realised what was going on and can say a word, she was already gone and i realised that she took away the clothes that i need to wear.... and i had to go back my room naked to get dress... yah..
I think i can cast some washing powder advertisement liaoz,.

back home...
It seemed just like a few days ago that i came back home, but it has been a week.
It feels to me like as one grow older, time seems to accelerate and flow faster than before.
I spend most of my time at home doing my fair share of being a filal son. Massaging mother from head to toe for and hr or so. U know those palors charge $40 per hr for such service... And some are not as skillful as me lor.
Anyway, mother overstrained her knees while dancing last friday. From my massaging experience, it is really in a bad shape. To think she still insisting to carry on with her practice for her performance soon.
If my children are willing to massage me like how im doing to mother, i think i'll be the most blessed guy in the world.
Father, on the other hand, started reading a novel after 40 yrs!! I spend quite some time helping him to check words like 嬲 (niao) which means to tease and 罡 （gang)
Sister is doing ok, since she already got someone to look after, no one really needs to be bothered abt her.
Brother is the one everyone is worried about. heard that he failed all his subject except english (totally reverse from my case haha) . However, none of us are taking any appropriate move to help him. Or should I say, dont have the capabiliy to.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I'm disgusted in alcohol drinking
There are things that one should never say out, 2 glasses of alcohol just act like true serum and everything just blurted out.
If not for my patience trained over the past few months, i would have already lost my temper and stormed out of the place pretending i dont know this guy.
Alcohol nulls the senses. And i can't afford to lose my focus easily.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Been blogging 3 posts in 3 days... really alot. but cos got too many things in mind that my hippocampus is unable to sort out, so need to sort out this way..

1202
12 feb will be alex's death anniversay.
Coincidentally, I just learnt today that it will be the same date that I will be facing another challange which , once again, be faced alone.
It really means alot to me for the two to fall on the same day.
And if I look deeper into it, there is actually a close link between the two.
Hence, either i'll be distracted during the challange or i'll feel empowered with his blessings.
Anyway, still have 5 months to go.
Shldnt think too far.
Lets hope my timetable for the next semester doesnt spoil the day...
(have i mentioned before that 1202 came out for 4d and i earn some quickcash sometime before? that period was one of the very very rare times i bought numbers to yishi yishi. Gambling is not the way to earn $$)
----------------------------------------------
Canoe polo initiation!
I really think those seniors and fellow juniors in canoe polo are really very zai! i can really learn alot from them and with them.
The short initiation if 2-3 hrs ended off with people spraining their ankles, leg, tie cramps. For me i dont think i can bent my elbow for another 2 days or so.... Fortunately, no one was seriously injured yet,, (as of last night, internal damages such as internal bleeding and stuff might reveal later. )
-------------------------------------------
陈达？
someone changed my name.... Just because my surname is Tan doesnt make me a chen（陈）... hmm... but it DOES sound cool to have name with 2 characters.
Moreover, alot of people cant pronounce my 'Teng' （腾）correctly, and conveniently call me chengda, that includes CHERHOE, a friend whom i known for like 4 yrs!!
Learnt Helplessness made me obligated to intro myself as Tanda, 陈达。。。。
In fact, i learnt that my new friends are doing so . Chengwei is not call chengwei, sinyee is not sinyee, tianyong is not tianyong....
Speaking about names, I spent a entire lecture period thinking of names for my children,
if its a girl she will be called 谭雅， tanya.
Ifs its a boy then will be 谭克， tank.... hahaha!
i still like the characters kai 凯 and yuan 渊 thought, just that it doesnt sounds right. Suggestions anyone?

你没资格跟我斗
大学的生活的确是很精彩
心里早已知道这种生活可望不可求
但一直以来还是想硬着头皮的去追求。
Life in the university can be truly exciting,
Eventhough i knew deep down that such a life is never meant to be mine
I've always been straining myself to take on everything
我，腾达并非等闲之辈。
但怎么说也是凡人一个。
这梦寐以求的生活就当我无福消受。
I am never anything ordinary
Nonetheless, I am still human.
There are some things that are never meant to be mine.
被这学科蹂躏的学友并不少，
看到他们失落的表情，
让我不禁露出阴冷的奸笑。
仿佛这就是凯旋的序幕。。。
There are many who have already been trumbled over by the stempede commonly known as Study.
Looking at their disheartenment,
I unconsciously bursted out a sinister laughter,
as if i have already triumph.
好胜的本性谁没有？
Who are not competitive in nature?
尽管如此，他们不是我的对手。。。
他们没有资格跟我斗， 也没怎么能耐
Nevertheless, they are not who i'm fighting with
they are not qualified nor they have the capability.
那些有资格的朋友，
就让我瞧瞧你有多大的本事。。。
For those who are qualified,
let me see what you have got...
My power is based on the starlight, yet it is exactly the same thing im going against...
(ps. those who know me well will know writing such post is just to make me feel better)
------------------------
As of today, i've offically promoted Nicolas from status FAN to status AIRCON!
*clap clap clap!!
For the first time after i known him, he contacted me at the right time!!

Lets Sell Mooncakes!
Selling mooncakes can be so much fun!
and tasty too!
Rheasa and I were practically eating all the sample while walking from room to room. And when the potential customers were eating their share of sample mooncakes, we were eating with them as well. ITs lonely eating alone, dont you think so?
My daugthers, elaine and choonyan did most of the talking for the 2nd block after i've done my part during the first.
Have i mentioned that i've officically been upgraded from being an AUNTIE to a Mama? Long story...
Anyway, door to door sells of mooncake during the middle of the night is really interesting. ITs funny to see what were our neighbours were doing at 11pm-12am on a sunday weeknight.
Frightening as it seems, there were people who were actually asleep at that time!! some overseas people where studying.
Then got one guy who was too lazy to open his door and started asking across the walls," yes? what you want?"
"we are here to sell mooncakes for our hall!"we replied
"Oh can you come back another time? I'm having sex right now..."
We were all like -_-
If the rest didnt feel embarassed and walked away, and if its wasnt so late at night already, i might try to play along with him...
---------------------------------
Period
A miracle happened during the newmoon of this month.
I met someone.
Ending a boring chapter to a boring story..
---------------------------------
Incomplete
Despite my busy schedule, I've decided to do something that i never thought that i will contiue doing. ITs one of those weird idea that i often think of. Inpractical as it is, i dont like to leave things hanging halfway...

I hate cars...
I hate cars, they never fail to take away things that are important to me....
I remember that there was a time, years ago, when alot my friends were having the exciting chat on what type of cars they were learning, whether it is manual or auto, whether they had booked their basic theory or not, or even what to look for during the theory test, I would always keep myself away from being involved. Not daring to show any slight interest in it.
I remember there was a time, when even though i was finally convinced about the importance of driving, i refused to admit that i was actually going for it. No one knew that i was taking my basic, my advance or even my practical (at least initially). IT felt like as though i was doing something so shameful that i could not share it to anyone.
That was the time, many many months after, just few weeks before my practical exams, when i spend hours picking up courage to tell father that i was learning driving and my mouth actually went dry upon doing so.
And that was the time when my heart literally stopped and my body froze when i saw mother spotted me driving in a car. I couldnt sleep that night.... ...
The moment i passed my driving test, everything changed.
My juniors would never understand the significance whenever i picked them up and sent them back to the unit. They WILL NEVER KNOW how much they had done or the importance just by simply sitting behind whist i was driving. They were my first passengers....
From then on, i spent all of my energy to face the toughest challange I had ever encountered over the next few months.
Everything changes..
tml 08/09/07 will be exactly one yr since everything changes.

There wasn't many people whom i shared about the joy when i passed my theory test for the first time. Amongst those few were HIM and HER, they gave me strength...

Bryan x fabian x machine
I must admit.
I've never really liked bryan before.
Among all the people i known from my unit (apart from fabian whom i known during sec school), he was the very first people i've met during school of combat engineers.
I never liked him before...
yah yah... condriticing to my big talks of me 'solving things by making friends not enemies' but this is another story.
He simply reminded me of the power hungry unscrupulous part of me who will go any extend to get my things done. Yes, at times i hated (and sometimes proud of) myself for being that, either way, he did a much better job than me and hence 1) i hated him more or/and 2) i'm jealous that he can do a better job.
Everytime in army when i speak to him, its reverted back to my old scheming mood when i really have to watch every words i say and had to perform personality imp...something something (forgot the term liaoz... its something abt putting on the mask or something). All in all, im already a very fake person and i had to be more fake then i already have in front of him.
(actually he is not the only one in the army lah, the rest i tend to avoid them actually....)
After all these months, i met him again in fabian's surprise party. And we actually taked. I guess the things we talked tonight was much more than we had during the time we spend together in 2 yrs.. Cos for the first time, i dont feel the duplicitous within him.
I am no longer a treat to him, and this is so for him to me...
In fact, i'm starting to like him already.
haha..
-----------------------------------
AT this point, yihui called me and we chit chated 1 hr on the phone! Remember him? the acquaintance whom i always talk about from time to time. Once again whenever i think of him, the more jealous i am.
----------------
Fabien's birthday surprise party inspired me with awe. Its very heartwarming to see what extent a family member can do for the other. Yonglin and bryan started comparing their fathers, while i just kept quite for obvious reasons. This is an experience i just have to learn from.
------------------------
From next week onwards, i'll become a machine... ...
Jia you jia you
