It's rather uplifting to see our captain crap again, after the gloom for the past week.
Thanks a lot people for the surprise birthday celebration. Appreciate it loads.
Everyone, hang tough, even if it's killing us, we'll be there for you, and a brighter side of life will be seen.
Yongting, studies will kill, exam stress in inevitable, try to relax yourself a little. Though i forgot how the toa cah soh works but i'll try my best to help you out whenever i can. Usual 5 and Slut and ananda will be there for you. =]
Maddie, i really gotta thank you for the advice you've been giving me on our way home on the train. Boring lectures, they may be, but nevertheless, they helped me a lot. Thanks darling. Stay cheerful and smile always.
Coli, Fiona, Bertina, Meiyi, wish all of you the best for the upcoming examinations. Don't worry meiyi, i'll be going through the examination shit along with you.

On the Wings of trust, the story of the cloudless sky

My last 24hrs duty as a "extraordinary carrer" had ended this morning. I am in fact very anxious for this 1st and the last special duty. I am the most impt man for my Division!!! Well, perhap it was quite a easy duty yesterday. But yet, i had seen another sad story. I have seen a mother who has 3 children to take care of. These 3 children, the eldest is perhaps only 5 years old and the youngest i think is only few months old. the mother is in heavily finacial crisis. She couldnt find anymore money to feed her children left and she has not been eating a proper meal for days.

She has been eating only leftover in the coffeeshop. She left with no chioce but to steal. In the end, she couldnt escape the punishment of the law. When the very moment i hear her story, my heart infact was sheding tear for her. And I am very guilty! Very guilty of how i greedy i was for the pass few days when i had my meals. This is another leasson that kept reminding me of my very own behaviour and how luxious i am!!

For the past 6 years, this job had let me see all kind of people, things in the Singapore. To me, it's like letting me see the Six realm. However, from the time hits 6am, I have to say good bye to my childhood dream. I am leaving this one of my best carrer in my life. The exprience I have gain and the things i had seen, I will nv forget for the rest of my life.

One of the many reasons for me leaving the place, is because i am over qualified. In fact i am still fighting between passion and the realitic world. But sad to say, the passion wasn't big enough to overcome that. Time managment is a real big issues. SBMY is my life also, I love SBMY as much as I love my carrer as well as i love my the other parts of my life.

I have to let go one thing to move forward. I have to let go in order for me to go for my retreat. For my practical dharmma knowlege, I think i would be accpetable as least to me, But as for thorecial knowlege, i think i would not be good enough to teach anyone of you. I need to improve myself. I would think these six year would be good enough le. I have to put to a stop before i may regret for the rest of my life. By doing this, I may not have anymore pondering story to tell all of you here. But rest assure, i will definately upgrade myself to have more other things to make you guys think.

Before i leave, on 14 MAy 2006, let go to the Zoo, I think i can get 8 tix, the rest we share among us, still cheaper alot ok. Let make this house outing successful. Take this outing as a reward for all the hard work you guys had put into the upcoming Vesak @ orchard and Vesak @ SBM as well as the camp of cos. Not to forget, you guys have finish your Exam le!!!! So pls make yourself free hor.

A blog from mentor - the most meaningful thing that happened to Ananda.

Yo Bro Law, our dearest mentor.
We never held u ransom for not being with us during your tough times, at least i know it was hard being there whilst u are going thru one of the worst times of your life during MBA studies.
We still stayed strong, and remembered something - Ananda, competitive or not, is the most enduring house in SBMY! (only got 4 though).

SLUT team, particularly with Weijie is back, and they are getting sluttier than ever with Jason (Chee Guang) and Ivan joining up to continues whacking up the realms. Also, the usual five, with Fiona already stopped combing her hair, has been strong lately, after yongting and mabel cleared up their shit and moved on and loved each other even more.

Denyse, our long-standing member is also back with us and will be taking on the games team role headed by me.
Guys, we didn't fail actually! u see, though Bro Law was busy with MBA and also SBMY stuff, remember, its bcos he was talented like all of u. An example that could only be seen as - NYAA (National Youth Achievement Award) standard always there. For your info ,our mentor is an NYAA winner.
So yes, he was busy, but now he's back, u cant see him yet though, but u can smell him.

Remember peeps, SBMY is a family, Ananda house is your family. If u ever disrespected or was doubtful of the person or persons, remember, they have their own propaganda as well as problems too. And the fact that Bro Law was the first to blog the longest blog in Ananda Blog History shows that he cares.

Reciprocate this feeling and really, make Ananda even more belonged-to-u. Cos U, U and U made up Ananda!
Without Bro Law, it was less one piece of leg, but still, we walked on and waited for that leg to come back. So he's back. We are full squad~

Imagine England without Gerard and Lampard, Imagine NBA Team Houston Rockets without Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, imagine golf without Tiger Woods, and of course, imagine Ananda without Bro Law or anyone of u.
Halo HALO!!! Ananda would never be as strong. So Now star player law is back, and the important players are also back like new sensations like Ivan-the-biggest-mouth-but-strongest-faith, Madeline-the-talented-erhu-and-whacky-girl, Chee Guang-the-act-cool-but-not-so-cool-look-more-like-kuaikuaiboy and of course kok-kok-kok meiyi...wa say, Ananda = Chelsea, Barcelona, Shohoku, Naruto, etc la.

So how? Guys, Ananda being strong depends on u, u and u, not only bro Law, and now Law is back, let Ananda RULE with the LAW!.

To Law - I never wanted to leave, cos leaving would mean leaving this group of pple to another captain? Pi! i wont do that, die also wont! Cos its Ananda, MY ANANDA, YOUR ANANDA, as well as OUR ANANDA! jus need to sort out some stuff and we are good to go. Trust me, for we can make it. we are making it. So pls don't let me slap u! But yea, 100% respect to the mentor for the blog.

Note: At this point in time, Cpt Ananda needs to take a break to settle some stuff, i will be back. very soon, u cna smell me.

Cpt Ananda
holidaying in Kapilavastu, and reading the Tipitaka with Nalagiri the elephant drinking water near by, and er... Angulimala running towards me... and er... never mind la. i'll be back.

Yea!!!! I managed to blog le. Thanks to Mable who has taught me how to blog. This blog is well maintain and nice. Given to me i dunno how to do. Ok heres my first blog,

To my Cap Alvin, dear guys, girls,

I wish to apologies to all of you as a mentor. I did not really care for my house member. To be frank, only recently (perhaps around the Ren Ci visits), I then really got to know all my members. As in who are really inside my house. I am very ashame of that.

Being one of the pioneers in Singapre Buddhist Mission Youth, I have seen many youths come and go. Many of those were talented people, somes even our buddies. We used to have quite a number of music incline people, but, well... That is the one of reasons why you guys and gals only see 4 of us left. Lol.

SBM has given me too many of memories. This memories has inevitably become a part of my life. At times, when i was staring into the ceilling, somehow, this memories arise into my mind. Most of it were with others heavenly kings as there were too many stupid crap and jokes that i will never forget in mind life.

Being with the "extraordinary career", it was and is my dream. This dream is with my since childhood times whereby Ang hwee was sitting beside me in the class when our art teacher told us to draw what we wanted in the future. And I guess you all knew what i had drawn. I remember Ang Hwee drawn a car. Maybe he wanted to be a car repairman?

I had managed to be in quite a various post. The current one I can say that is my busiest but yet favourite posting. Being the current job, I can really see all the things and face all sorts of people. The expreience so far, i can nv forget either. However, time is a major factor for the job. Even weekends i had to go back clear my work. This job is always my dream and now my passion. This passion have the same strenght as serving in SBM. But sad to say that the time and effort i spent in my job cant compared with the money i earn. Moreover with my current qualification.

But well, lucky enough, I have gotten my MBA. Talking about MBA, that was toughest time i ever had and can nv forget as well. I remember that period of time, was the first time i had failed my Fiance paper. I had to bug Liang Jian almost everyday to help me in doing project. As almost or all the project even to me and done with a help of at least one person.

The toughest time I ever had was all the shit came to me at one shot. I can still recall that i had failed my exam or so call repeat my module, I got to know that the girl i like had fallen in love with someone that is close to me, I was complaint to my boss where top management was involved and SBM, well, think the some uncles was like complaining about me. So guess what I did?

Ha, I Li2 Jia1 Chu1 Zhou3. Well, the reason being it not to avoid all the stuff, but to have a time for myself and calm my mind. I went to one of my closest buddies house and stayed there for about 4 days. I did not answer to any phone calls at all. Lucky that my friend's house have SCV, Yu Jia Bo Dao and the chinese dramma channel. I just watch all the movie i could and sleep what ever i can. To me that was my worst period.

After doing so, I felt that I was quite fortunate enough that I could able to do that. Some people I knew got himself into much more serious trouble then i have. Like the wife having affair, and facing financial problem at the same time. He was also facing a pending problems that may put his job at risk.

Leaving a place for a while can be a good choice but not the best solution. Ths is what i have learn. I strong feel that overcoming the problem is a challeage. I always been telling myself that when i got into deep shit, there may be a chance where more shit can come together. This is way a person have to pull himself together. Look a problem carefully and DARE to accept it that it is in your hand.

Now, I thought that that IS my worst period. But I was wrong. After working in the society, I knew that that wasn't the worst period at all. There are alot of worst period and bad time has to come. The last three weeks was hell to me. Got 2 Trials to run, 2 complaints to the press, have two 30 hrs of duty, have to settle the vesak @ orchard designing of T-shirt and placards. I am in need of time. Now i think it over soon le.

Guys and Gals, you all are lucky enough to get a good or I can say the best cap in SBMY as your house cap. At least he is ready for you when you down. Sad to say that as a mentor, I failed to do my job as a mentor to guide you guys and gals due to my poor time management and spritual cultivation.

But dun worry, as I will going to tender my resignation letter real soon, I will have much more time to keep in touch with you guys. Now I knew about our new guys much deeper like Ivan, Madeline, Kok Mei Yi, and Jason. And Slut team have these 2 new male members. I also knew that in Ananda, have discovered talent people like Mabel and Madeline. Thanks to both of you that our T-shirt came out in time.

And Alvin, I knew you are kind of tired or faced some problem currently. But think of these people which you have form. These team you have form. Wtihout you, these blog can nv be set up. I can nv discover mabel. Ivan and Jason may not have a place to be with. Now they are in Slut. You are a very talented people. Like can play both soccer and basketball well, can sing well also. One of the best people to lead a group of people. Everyone faces shits. At time all came together. Just piece of advice, have a mind set that face them directly the next day you wake up in the morning. Whatever it is, when it comes to you, be mindful and truthful when face the shit.
Sometime, powerful people do face down period, It is how you look at it. You want to look a half cup of water as half filled or half empty. It up to you to look at it.

SBMY is the place I found my real brothers, close buddies and friend and also my lovely girlfriend. I hope that you all will find them here too. Thanks to everyone that i have a place to write my ediary. I will definately continues write my diary here too. Hope you guys and gal will treat these blog your very own too.

MESSAGE FROM CAPT

Hey Anandians!

There's just something that i wished to say to u guys.

Though its already been 4 months, i certainly feel that i've not done enough to care and be concerned for our own group members.

I'm sorry for all that negligence and i really didn't know that u guys won't dare to approach me should there be any problems you guys faced. I might seemed really fierce and stuff, but i do have a soft heart. I've heard alot and i feel that i've to step up a gear.

Its definitely been a great challenge to be a Captain. much less a good one, and i feel that there are still many things i can do.

I will try my best and really hope thatif u guys have anything u want to speak to me about, please, come to me.

To:

Jason - I'm here to guide u. No worries. U always have me.

Weijie - Don't look lost, your house's here, and they want u back.

Ernest - Stay strong with a valiant heart.

Bertina - My house 'flower', pls tok to me more, like a bro.

Fiona - If any problems faced, please tell me, dun comb any more hair... and yea, treat me like a big bro pls.

Coli - Sometimes silence ain't the final solution. Talking out is the way to solution. I will care for u even more.

Yongting - Should u waver in your thinking and u need someone to firm it up for you, please call me.

Mabel - Do not think too much, and do voice out to me, if needed.

Shihui - My sportsgirl, i'm watching you, and praying for your every table tennis win. :)

Ivan - Speak out, more postively and do tell me should you face any problems.

Denise - My First Aider, u are important.

Zhenglin - Bro, its tough on you, but pls, stand this road strong with me. :)

Madeline - I'm sorry that i looked to fierce. Please tell me should u have any problems. I will mellow down.

Meiyi - U always shrug into your t-shirt when i talk to u, will try to change my reactions, to suit your preference.

Shiyun - Where are u??? haha. Please come...

Guys, i still hope to see Ananda as the strong group/house we always are. And lets do it together!!

Captain of Ananda

Alvin.
