About the Author
At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as
Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love.
Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

The past week was totally furikin' awesome.
Or at least, the past 10 days had been totally furikin' awesome.
Lets see when this insane plethora of fun and laughter started.
Oh right, of course, night cycling!

I've done things this year that I never thought I'd ever do. Including the above-mentioned thriller joy-ride!
I've felt things this year that I thought I'd never get to feel.
Next up, Yong Kun's house partaye! Haha, okay, so I got real wasted. No shame in that. At least I did not regurgitate my dinner on the floor (waited till I was downstairs and out of the house).
Hmmm... following that was just simply the weekdays. I must say, the weekdays were pretty boring and mundane because of project work, though I must admit that I have a
PROJECT WORK GROUP which is
as good as they can come!Because we're all Super Good Looking!
Finally rid myself of the burden of chinese. Whew, thank you very much, no more chinese lessons ever in the history of forever (unless God forbid, I get like, below a C). I was kinda touched when I was running to get my entry proof and Lao Shi (for you non-chinese readers, or CL B readers, it is chinese for "teacher") asked me to hurry up and even asked me if I had a dictionary. Oh man, 10 months of hate for her just evaporated. Honest. I never felt like such a bad student in my life. I resolve to get her a happy teacher's day gift next year. Yes I do. After all, she did fan my ego up regularly and provided entertainment for our class on a frequent basis.
Okay. Here, I must apologise to Nathan. Sorry I couldn't make it for your birthday man..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN! But, I did manage to make it for the class chalet. Another insane dose of adrenaline pumping, nerve wrecking fun. Venturing into the unknown, climbing ropes and ships, playing soccer/basketball/twister, playing FM (sorry that I was so indulged in it haha), playing
INDIAN poker, lying on the docks making jokes of people we know, sipping slightly warm milo in the pouring rain, waiting for the sun to rise, talking from dusk to dawn, like a scene from nights in Rodanthe.
Its was a beautiful day. I'm lucky to have benn in 4.4, and I'm lucky to be in 08A12.
Damn, I miss AC to bits, and I'm motivated to live it up in VJ, so that I'd leave the sea-side shack at the end of next year knowing that I came, I tried, and I conquered.
Watching the sun rise taught me a lesson.
The sun is always hiding behind the rain clouds, its just there, it never went away, just covered behind the thick cumulus clouds of grey, waiting to shine through after the rain washes the air clean. But, the sun is not the only source of light in the dark night sky. Just open your eyes, and you will see the other lights illuminating the darkness.
We're just people living in different rooms of the same ol' wooden shack.
