seconds turn to minutes, minutes turn to hours, hours to days... you can never fathom how long i have waited for this fateful day to come. it's like an awakening for all my friends and family, because right here tonight, standing atop the stage in FB Theatre, i am gna make an electrifying confession, so much so that th...ey're gna see the truest and most basic form of me and just me.

recall beautiful memories, re capture happy moments and reiterate the single most powerful establishment of my love for you. you render me helpless, like a broken toy or a knife with a chamfered blade, each time you blow into my ears. a gentleness extinct in this era already, a minute yet thoughtful action, heavenly, fucken heavenly. you might think nothing of it, but Mr. G, right now, i am confessing with brutal conviction that it turns me on. it is like a wake-up call when i'm fast asleep, a reminder that you still care for me.

recall beautiful memories, re capture happy moments and reiterate the single most powerful establishment of my love for you. you render me helpless, like an incomplex monumental wave of the hand, you sweep me off my feet; like a thoughtless swipe of your fringe, acting like a kitchen mop for that moment, you sweep it across my rough patch of skin. ... oh Mr. G you must be some kind of god. which man in the world would have touched me like you did. it is a sweet variance, to be able to fill the gentle texture of your hair brushing across my face. another wake up call, another reminder that you still care for me.

since today is the big day, your day, Mr. G's day, we shall leave melcas out but don't you ever doubt that he is not with us. it was a painful year 2008, crestfallen, heartaches, tough, bitter and majorly dejected are but some adjectives used to describe life without you. on a normal weekday, i would wake up only when the sun scorches high up in the blue. my mates were smart enough to escape this torture, for they will always be on time for lectures and tutorials. i dno why, but i didn't see a point in doing so.

truth came knocking on my door one november night. bad news struck me. the numerical value 0.35 haunted me for a good 2 months.

year 2009 came, i packed my bags and headed nonchalantly to the familiar studio that i had bummed my ass in for the year. at the corner of my eye, i spotted a guy. he dressed like how any other teenagers would. i spotted... the logo emblazoned on the polo tee. it was a fred perry, but i didn't know why, but at the back of my mind, i had suspicions of its authenticity. i chose not to pursue the matter, hoping to make one more friend instead of an enemy. one fine day, you were impressed with my work rate, and the number of A3 papers which i had filled up. you talked to me. i looked at you with eyes burning with passion. you must not have realised it, for it must be a commodity for you - people seducing you with their fiery eyes. i tried my best to make friends with you. you made friends at a rapid rate, something which i will never be capable of. i thought that you were cool enough to be my friend, but i was afraid of one thing and only one thing - that i wasn't cool enough to be yours.

3 months down the road, we rested against the green coloured railings just outside our studio. you looked at me and gave me comforting chills up my spine. you agreed to wait for me while i dragged on my cigarette.

slowly, we opened up to each other. i open up to melcas and you, you open up to melcas and i, and melcas open up to you and i. it was ... a healthy cycle, something that friends should always cherish and look to keep. we talked about relationship problems, and in all honesty (no offence to both girlfriends), i think we know so much about each other that it is a crime if we don't report the growth of a single pubic hair.

unbeknownst to the both of you, you 2 (especially gavin since today is your birthday -.-) have made this year a less tedious year for me. you have no idea the psychological challenge for someone like me to step out and take on the world again. i am glad that throughout this tormenting year of sleepless nights and last minute work (okay maybe this is only applicable to me), i have the both of you by my side. like a bird who needs its wings, a camera needs its battery to function, a child needs his dad, mr joey teh ru yen right here and right now would like to say that i think the both of you have been induced to my hall of fame for eternity. let's keep this going.

2008, a horrid year.

2009, a blessing in disguise.

3 months down the road i placed my arms around the shoulders of 2 very special friends.

2010, 19 february, on top of wishing one of them a very very very happy 18th birthday, i would like to bow down now in absolute thanksgiving for their presence in my life.

WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE SEE AND LEARN, LIFE IS ABOUT SHOWING APPRECIATION TO THOSE WHO MATTER.!
