Today's Polling day!
End of my second week at work!

This week was a momentous week.

I had so much to do,and so much to think about.
There was no time for anything else sometimes that
i think of it.

Been living life, one day at a time, without much
plans, without time to think of myself.

There are things to plan in life.
and i need to start real soon.

cheers

Graduation was a really memorable day.
I get a chance to see everyone again. All my dear friends.
We put on our tall, square hats and black long gown with a purplish pink scarf.
And we walked up one by one to take our long awaited degree.
It was one of those days where I felt so happy – while being hungry and thirsty and tired.

Haa.. but it was all good, because so many of my friends were there together with my family to celebrate this momentous occasion with me.

Thank you jia yun, for always being there for me when I needed u.
Thank you chong yuan for being such a good buddy! My dear primary school buddy.
Thank you renuka for taking time out of your lecture time to represent YLF to be here for my graduation J
Thank you weida for all the support that u have given me, and just being the most dependable bro I have in my life.
Thank you wanru for taking leave and being there, it meant a lot to me. And oh! The graduation bear, thanks!
Thank you to all my uni friends! I love you guys & gals!

Woohoo! I’m going to take on the world! I’m a graduate of RMIT-SIM Business Accountancy!


I managed to complete what I needed to do, go back to sir’s place and get the coaching stuff before his brother throw it away. I even spent time with my brother categorizing all the things we retrieved from his place. Woohoo! J

Good Tuesday!


Though py is forgetful! I forget to bring keys to return to sir’s brother and forgot to bring kite for Daniel. Shucks! Gg back to bring it later.

It is a very sad end to the week.

ronnie my commando signaler mate.
he passed away on friday night at 1125pm.

its one of those days where i felt dazed.
its the 2nd time in recent time i felt this way.

i just cam back from his wake.

his grandmother and father. their grief that
hung on their faces. especially when i saw her
grandmother's eyes and arch of the back. the white hair.
白发人送黑发人
the absolute grief that was in that scene when the ceremonial
chants were done. and granny's clasped hands shaking up and down.
the mumbles in her mouth.

it was a heartbreaking scene.
it got to me.
i felt heartbroken.

ronnie's a strong commando. he fought cancer for a year.

thanks for the memories. god bless. and god bless ur family.

for honour and glory, commando!

Collected my Academia Regalia (graudation gown) today.

Paid so much for all the stuff.. haha i am so broke right now.
Got a good news today! The insurance money for the car
accident in Australia is being approved and i will get $750
back soon :) "God provides" - Dickson Teo

There are so much things happening last week that i have
not much time for myself - to be at peace with myself.

I went to Jiayun's church on sunday.

Mmm.. after Saturday's going down to pray at the site sir
was sea buried, i still felt that i needed to talk to god, and
i asked jy if i can join her. she said ok.

There was this silent meditation moment at the end of the
service. and i just started to communicate with god. I told
him how i felt, i ask for him to take care of sir, and i tell
god i will do my part to continue his legacy and ask for his
guidance.

After church, i went to sign up for kayaking course that will
be on 20/8 to 21/8. I was so tired.

At night i met dickson for supper. we just opened up to each
other. its nice. was a good day.

Winds were very strong today, all along the road.
Justin and me, on bicycles, cycled to tanjong rhu.

Paid our respect to Sir Stanley and spent 10 quiet
minutes feeling the wind, Feeling for you.

I can only remember saying thank you,
and more thank yous.

Sir, sometimes i wonder, is this your challenge to us?

Do you remember at my black belt grading, my name
was annouced over the loud speaker, and i needed to
go down to demonstrate my abilities, to be graded.

and i said "sir, i think i am not ready"

and you said "i dun care if u are ready or not, but you are
going."

i went, and i was shivering, nervous. i did what i could,
and when i am done.

you said "u passed"

i felt estatic. and that is one lesson that i will never forget.
to conquer my own fears, nomatter how much your fears
want to eat me up.

So this time , with your death, and all the politiking - senior
instructors wanting to take over all your classes and input
their so called teaching philosophy into ur students. and from
what i heard, the instructors are irresponsible - one of them and
another having toooooo many classes.

that ain't gonna happen.
eventhough u are not teaching anymore, you are somewhere better.
but your teachings are in our blood.

we are your legacy. we'll fight to push forward your philosophy of
taekwondo.

one step at a time, we are. trust us. give us strength. shout at us as u always do.

Dear Stanley Yeo, Sir,

I will be visiting you tomorrow at the very beach where they
held a sea burial service for you.

I am sorry I got angry with cheong yen for his indecisiveness.
I just treated your death very seriously. I cannot take their
ai mai ai mai attitude. Sorry i got pissed.

I am sorry that tomorrow i will not be able to find the exact
place to pay my last respect to you as we could not find out
where. Justin and me tried. We will go to somewhere between
east coat park and tanjong rhu, and try to feel for you. And do
our prayer there.

Oh ya! I signed a contract with Schroder's today, 9 months,
paying $3.2k per month. My first job after university. You told
me i am not a lost act yet before. (as i did badly for jc.) - you
never gave up on me.

I remember I once called you up and told you i want to be a gold
medalist in olympic for taekwondo, and we met the next day for
coffee and you told me the sacrifices that needs to be make - put
school on hold and train full time - but i was persistent that i can
juggle both. i tried training very hard under you together with
studying. but i did not make it far. i gave up. you told me to coach.
i thought i was useless and this is like the last option. but looking
back now. Thank you sir, you saw that i had the potential to be a
gold medalist, but i did not have the courage to give up the stability
that comes with normal work and studies. When you give me the
coaching mandate, I now think you saw something in me. I always
felt that i have a thing or two with kids and education. I think that
is what you saw. Thank you.

I was angry with you once for pushing me down the gut that i suck
at my coaching methods, but you showed my my weakness. when
someone suddenly stops giving you comments, then he has given up
on you. A cliche. You have never given up on me.

That is why I will not give up on myself.

See you tomorrow.

Peng Yong, Ong
