Aug 23 2005 --- The History Of 23 August


hmmm ... 23 August 2005 today ... special day ?? ya ... in fact i do have a few things to remember this date by ... and sometimes i really do find it convenient that things falls on the same day ... juz like the way my sis share the same birthday it means i m very unlikely to forget her bday unless i forget mine too ...

23 august 1982 ... this day happens to be karen's birth date ... for those very close to me would have known how 'crazy' i was for this ger back then though not knowing most of the silly little things that she n i shared ... ya ... she would have turned 23 today though somehow we arent in contact ... how i hope that she is well n fine now (be it studies or career alike and health especially) no matter how far away she has gone to ...

23 aug 1997 is also the very first time i talked to her ... called her for the very first time to wish her a happy birthday ...

ya ... this day also marks the 5th anniversary since my enlistment to tekong ... time flies indeed ... still recall vividly the encounters back in tekong and suddenly it has been half a decade already ...

23 aug also marks the 3rd anniversary of me passing my second phase of unarmed combat including contact sparring in my unit which i took on 23 aug 2002 ... still remember how we contact sparred with each other till towards the end we were almost hugging each other in shagness ... indeed ... despite juz a mere 3 mins fight ... it was very tiring ...

23 aug 1997 ... the very same day i started my active 'cheonging' days ... ya lah ... i think ever since then i have been quite regular in my cheonging ... juz that my cheonging kakis had changed over time ... ya lah ... bu zhi bu jue cheong for 8 years already ... i guess i m almost to the brim of cheonging already ... ya lah i know some of my frens will remember that i had once make a Vesak Day resolution that i will stop cheonging but that didnt even last for say 2 weeks and i m back to it again ...

i know there are buddies whose girlfriends or wife-to-be or wife who 'dislike' me coz always sharing their partner with me ... always keena borrowed by me to go drinking with me ... and i guess they had spent quite a bit on cabfares too ... for those staying in yishun clementi ubi paya lebar hougang sembawang jurong west ... ya lah ... those in ubi clementi (2 pax) sembawang and hougang especially since i know u do read my blog ... ya lah ... time for me to start helping u all save money at least on cab fare and plan for future le rite ? ^-^ ya lah ... u all eligible bach shld start thinking of future le ... we had our days of lazing n idling ard for a longer than average time already isnt it ?? for those who had cheong with me for the very last time ... yep ... though short but it was indeed still quite nice ... i guess that would have answered the qn for "wat's the occassion for cheonging?" ... a simple answer coz that was the last time le ... i guess all those gf/wife-to-be would be happy to see that from me rite ?? hahaha ... anyway ... i still have some outstanding appointments that i had made prior to this 'declaration' that i shld fulfill before quitting but nm ... i shall still mark 23 august as the last day ...

23 aug 2005 will mark the official end of cheonging days ... i like it since 23 aug has always been a day for me to remember by ... 23 august will be appropiately marked as the ending day then ... we can always meet up for other things beside cheonging de =) ... those that i have met frequently aside ... for those cheong not that often de ... we wun lose contact de =) iron horse will always prevail k =)

lastly ... to the ger whom ...
i had laugh with ...
i had shed tears for ...
i defended strongly for before ...
i did silly things for ...
gave me ups n downs ...
taught me about life ...
made an irremovable print in me ...

no matter how high up u r now ... how far far away u may be ... how unreachable ur place may be ... juz a simple sentence ... happy birthday karen ......
