2 months!

Brandon Lim Kien Khin
Born on 21st July 2008 (bout a lil bit more than 2 months old now)
Who is he?? haha...none other than my beloved nephew...

He's my sister's 1st child since she got married in 2006.
Obviously, everyone in the family is happy lately, including relatives and friends of course.



Especially for my parents, they seem more jovial and halcyon since he's born. You can sense the joy in the atmosphere.



I mean of course-lah, the last time there was a baby AT HOME is year 1990, whereby the baby they carry that time was me! and that's about 18 years already. (and at last I'm not the youngest at home anymore, which is a good thing...)





And if you wonder how my sis n her husband look like,


...no they're my brother n his girlfriend, Hayley Soh




ahh there's my sis n my brother-in-law =).

Happy Birthday!

It was 25th of September last Thursday. Guess what... It's my birthday! haha.... co-incidently, it was Vanessa's birthday on 23rd and Adrian's birthday a day after mine.

Therefore, some of my best friends at TAR College - Rodney, Mithi, Delinda, Vanessa, Gayathri, Isaac;- or better known as the '7somes', and the likes of Hui Joo, Danny, Su Jing, Ruhil, Edward, Adrian, Mong & Jason planned to celebrate all 3 of our birthdays together.




I must say- a big THANK YOU for these people really. You guys are my closest friends at college- no doubt bout that. Honestly, I can't recall when was the last time I blew a cake. I mean, seriously, I've not celebrated my birthday with my family for years already. Probably that time i was 4? 5? 6? years old then. I can't remember.

These people are really one of the group of nicest people I've met- no questions bout that. Living at especially a place like TAR College hasn't been as good, particularly I'm handicapped in terms of communication. Well, that is, unlike I have charisma of a friendly person or "pretty bananas" like Mei Mei or Cally =). -but that apparently doesn't seem to be the case.

That is why these people are the ones I spend most of my time wif there. Also a special thank you for Hui Joo, Hazel & Danny. This is why:





Glass cup and it's wrapper contributed by Hui Joo, Hazel & Danny

Seriously, I don't know how long it took for Hui Joo to make the card. Every bits of effort and patience. I'm speechless at 1st when I received it really. Thanks again...really appreciate it.

Moving on to other things, I must say that my Chemistry lecturer- Mr David Loh is arguably the best lecturer at TAR College. Unlike some lecturer(s), which I don't have other words to describe them other than lousy, he's really the one that know how to teach and at the same time interacting and controlling the students.

For next week's holidays, he planned a special schedule for us to "efficiently" study 10 hours a day as he always want us to do. Here's how:

Try following the schedule for a day, anyone ;) ?

Interlude

It took me awhile to finally created my own blog.

To be honest, this was really quite a hard work to actually finalise everything, from starting off by thinking and pondering about the suitable title, the publishing name, to da layouts and so on.

In the past, after a lengthy period of time writing on The Amigo Blog, I'm now finally on my own on expressing on my very own personal blog.
For your information, if you don't know what's about the Amigos, it's actually a group created which consist of 4 frens, including me, during Form4. The blog had actually raised alot of dramas n controversials, as it contain some really harsh languages, some difficult to swallow straight-to-the-point stuffs, and so on. 1 of the Amigos now already left to London, whereas 1 of them started his own blog about Jesus and holy thoughts, and another went M.I.A.

Anyway, the past IS the past, whereby thinking back bout it, v seem so childish arguing about things that don't matter really. It's practically pointless.


Less about the past, now basically the title of this blog, "In My Own Words" is actually an album name, much of the courtesy of Ne-Yo I'm quite a big fan of him, simply because of his music and especially lyrics that attracts me the most.

The publishing name of this blog, "beneath-those-masks" is actually inspired by the concept of dramas, whereby people pratically act in plays. The nature of actors/actress being sad, happy, nervous, terrified, etc are all fake in real world. Therefore, beneath-those-masks actually reflects my true emotions, my sincere perspectives, and my genuine feelings.

You might see me being happy all the time, cause arguably people say I actually do smile alot. You might think I'm practically a happy-go-lucky person, but deep down, I know at times I'm being pushed against my own limits.

While others think that way, some might feel I'm cocky/lansi/chuan.
This, I feel is basically due to my nature of being a quiet person and doesn't talk much.
What I can comment is that, I'm super weak in mandarin, I can hardly even understand a deeper-meaning sentence that comes out of ur mouth at times. Ironically, to add to that, I admit I'm not a person particularly good in socialising or communicating.
My close/true frens that I've been known since secondary school will know what kind of person I really am.

In the issue of me being, well, probably a too quiet person, this blog might significantly change the perspectives people have on me-maybe.

That's about the introduction of this blog. There's alot more to come, definately.
To be honest, there's already a few attempts before this whereby I tried blogging other than Blogspot, but those attempts didn't really work out cuz

• I'm lazy to update
  
• Those sites are not convenient to use
• ...& I'm basically not serious / not enough motivation / no inspiration to blog.

However, this time I'm confident this blog will be updated fairly frequently and constantly, probably MAYBE about 2-3 posts per week. But this is to the respect of whether I got things to write, whether I'm free enough, mood, & so on lah =).
