sorry guys. my post more and more irregular now. too much happening around me that i don't know what to include into my blog posts..

Pictures... hmm... they tell a thousand things, and hide a million others. so don't just judge things from pictures. they're there for a reason, and it might well not be what your first assumption is.

First off, need to say sorry to Ms.A for the 7 miss calls.. i wasn't in the right mood, sleepy, and dozed off, thus not seeing my handphone.. you must be very worried.. so sorry bout it.. i'll talk to you tmr (:

Today is an exceptionally special day, coz i really felt like rewinding, back all the way... still the same old us, being the same old way, and doing the same old stuff, talking bout the same old things, and also, sharing the same old memories we once had. sometimes the later the night is, the better it is for reminiscing.

which brings us back to the song of the day: Flo Rida Ft. Wyclef - Rewind

If I could I would pull it up and rewind
To the time when it was just me and you
Oh how we were inseparable
If I could I'd pull it up and rewind
To the time before you went away
Wish I could go back to yesterday
If I could I'd pull it up and rewind
So I sit down and I had try
Are you living up in this life?
I know if I could I'd pull it up and rewind



Don't ask me why, i just wanted and needed to rewind. Back to sleep, and hope tomorrow will be a better day. (apparently not)...

Duh, its been the 4th continuous day that i'm sleeping after 4AM. crazy body clock. Random day.. lets see how i got my 051209 started... hmm..

First, it was Ms.A's concert at Ai Tong Primary School as part of Bukit View Secondary School's band. Picked up the daises I chose from the florist:


Afterwhich, went to pick up Wen Shu late at Bishan Mrt station by cab, and rushed to the concert. It started at 5PM, but we only got there at around 6PM, due to some delays on my side. haha, but nonetheless, glad that the first part of the concert was over, as it was the Ai Tong Primary School kids playing, the second part was where Ms.A was playing.. so sat in, and listened to the songs.. after like say 30 mins, all the songs were finished playing le... lol, like damn fast, so passed Ms.A the pretty daisies for appreciation of the event. didnt take any photos with her, coz i noticed the rest of her band mates all didn't have flowers, kinda.. weird.. by right after performance should get some flowers de ma, like how my sister used to have after all her performances last time.. hmm nvm. ~ haha, after giving her i just left to go town...

从新开始 at 11:40 PM

Skipped one whole day of posting.. too much been happening in my life. lol, to know more, simply log to my facebook and check out what i've been doing lately. its always good to get breathers, and chances to relax myself..

went zouk on thursday night with Mr.Ev, Mr.WS, Ms.Jace and her 3 friends [J,YY,??] lol dunoe the name for the last girl. anyways, its the SIM - UOL Bash and Pageant 2009 Glowmetrik Event was awesome. though abit of hiccups in the earlier stages, it became better as the nite went.. the 6 of us had our fair share of shooters. okok, not bad, met a few frens there as well. and made a few new frens there too.. seems awesome... haha kinda got a feeling that i'm getting back to how i was in the long long ago past, (my sweet 18). but well, its just, for a different cause this time...

okay, it took alot off my mind, i was the only one still sober and dancing, tirelessly, (though i did almost fall asleep while sitting down at the sofa seats, but that was just coz it was simply too comfortable), Evan and Wen Shu just went down down down. headache, tired and shag. can't seem to dance anymore, leaving me alone on the dance floor, so sad right.... Thanks Ms.Jace for the invite to the event... got me cracked up. (:

Some Photos, randomly picked, check out facebook for more...

























sex on the beach, it was supposed to be 12 shooters per plate.


green apple shooters, 4 cups missing already, downed by Mr.Ev must be.


eh-hem Mr.Ev, the red top one.

alrite, in the end we didn't manage to drink our 48 shooters, we left zouk at say, 2.40am, and got on cab, and eventually got back home at 3.30am, and i only slept at 4am.. woke up at 7.20am, prepared for work, left home at 7.45am on mummy's car, and got to office at 8am! the whole routine is like.. SHAG! omg lol, walking zombie in the office, but surprisingly i was able to ta-han till like afternoon.. when i was sleeping in boss' office while he was out for lunch... gosh.. tiring past 2 days, that explains the compression of 2 days post into one single post only (:

BUT, just to tell everyone out there:

DERRICK ONG HAS MOVED ON AND GROWN MORE SENSIBLE, HE HAS LEARNT NEW STUFF, AND EXPERIENCES THINGS WORTHED REMEMBERING! NO MORE MISTAKES IN THE FUTURE! AND DON'T FOLLOW UR MIND TOO MUCH, FOLLOW UR HEART, EVEN THOUGH ITS ON THE LEFT, ITS ALWAYS RIGHT! YES/NO, MS.Van? haha. ~

- Day 10 -

往事不堪回首

i reckoned that i shall move out of emo posts for this saga of my life already. its been simply too many, and i'm starting to get not used to the emo-ness i'm getting. its just not me, derrick ong to be emo! just like Ms.Van has told me! its been making my emotions very unstable and i'm feeling kinda sick of the feeling. sometimes its not on purpose that i wana feel sad, upset, emotional, and all. but its just when the familiar things happen, when i walk pass the ever so familiar stuff, my mind just reminisces about what had happened for the previous weeks, and its ever so fresh in my mind...

well, i've opened the very 1st post for this blog to viewing pleasure of everyone, i didn't really release it even till the 9th day of my blog posts, but i decided to open it now, since its already the 10th day.. i told myself i'd recover by the 7th day, a week in exact, but i failed to do so.. quite disappointed by myself. maybe it was just too hard for me to let go.. but nevertheless.. i'm forgetting it now... slowly.

work's as normal, as arduous as can be.. all the sad love songs i listen to during work still affect me alot, as much as i hear them, i'll try to switch songs to RnB as much as possible. though sometimes i might still feel like listening to sad songs. almost all i've heard for the past few weeks tells alot about my feelings... the one which caught my heart stopping is:

这感觉已经不对
我最后才了解
一页页不忍翻阅的情节你好累
你默背为我掉过几次泪多憔悴
而我心碎你受罪你的美
我不配

ha, well.. MIP 2 is coming to a close, tried to relax more at work, so as to let my brain rest, after such an a past 9 days have been.. whew... i need some therapy man.. like, real ones, spa, sauna, massage, relax... hmmm.. dunoe wad strucked me, just decided to stay back after work alittle.. finish some unfinished business, after that, getting abit down on her car as all the radio stations were playing sad love songs, often like fate is playing a harmless joke.. went for dinner with her at ajisen...

really is..... : 往事不堪回首... the feeling is as though....

想留不能留才最寂寞
没说完温柔只剩离歌
心碎前一秒用力的相拥着沉默
用心跳送你辛酸离歌

oh wells... nvms... now, lets just start right all over again. its a decision we made, and definitely, we must work hard for it to happen. though everything isn't going to be the same anymore, we'll still try to make everything well again, isn't it?... ~ (i hope so....)

Lastly, a big THANKS to, all the great people around me: (Ms.Jace, Ms.Jan, Ms.Joy, Ms.Carrie, Ms.Van, Ms.Ky, Ms.A, Ms.Kan, Mr.Ev, Mr.Nel) and sister (Ms.Jol), you all know who you are. thanks for giving me all the hugs, care, concerns, worries, conversations that you all have given me. u all are the ones who've been through it all wif me, when i'm crying in the middle of the night, when i'm upset, when i'm all alone, when i'm feeling ever so empty, all of u are truly what makes my life special, apart from all the other stuff i have.

P.S dun say i'm stupid anymore le okies.. i've learnt alot le horr.... and also, i never regretted my choices before... I believe everyone has heard before: 不在乎天长地久,只在乎曾经拥有... mayb its just me, you all won't understand totally how important she was to me before.

nonetheless, 10th day of emo-ness, this has to stop. I'm moving on for good. (:


I'm sure you'll be happier this way too. i'm sure....

- Day 9 -

Recovery's been a breeze, retail therapy seems to have done the healing... guess i did quite alot of shopping and walking and thinking this past 9 days... i'm determined to get out of this mess i'm going through and live life a better man. No matter what, life goes on, and it will no longer go back to the past. everything's gonna be different.. what my heart is thinking can be different from my mind, but still, i'm still gonna follow my heart, and let my mind go free... not limiting to any possibilities, and chances.

I'm not exactly available for another r/s right now yet, so sry to the 2 very special "you-know-whos" if you're reading my blog [i don't know if you are anot, but please tell me if you are]. BUT however, i always welcome my good friends to enter my heart, coz there's an abundance of space in there for everyone. (: i realised one thing through this chapter in my life, friends and family will always be there for you, no matter what.. as for the girl, its been rather 若隐若现... sometimes i see it there, sometimes its gone.. its kinda upsetting... BUT, no matter what, all's past is past... it shall, never surface again.. some memories i'll still keep with me... i know, if i post this out, many of my close friends will say that i'm being damn stupid. =( but still:


Well you showed me how it feels
To feel the sky within my reach
And I always will remember all
The strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there will always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be

even though, i might not have you with me... a part of you will always be with me. i'll learn to grow with the knowledge and times u've gave me...

Thanks again.. My once-loved, i sincerely give u my blessings now..... ~

- Day 8 -

hectic day at work.. as usual, busy like a bumble bee... sometimes being busy its good, it keeps my mind off certain stuff... but irregardless of being busy or not, i just cant seem to.... urgh.. anyways, met sis at suntec, together with wenyi and melina too... sis needed some retail therapy, thus bought this Canon Ixus 120 IS camera from John at Suntec Harvey Norman... -.- ~

as much as i wana avoid thinking bout it sometimes, i can't seem to do it.. i can't bring myself to do it.. end up, i'll still smile smile and act like nothing's happened.. but feeling damn miserable inside, nobody knows.. even if know, also can't do anything.. coz it would always seem to be like as though i'm the one who can't let things go.. maybe the feelings were too much, and the time was too short, no reaction time at all...



But only love can stay
Try again or walk away
But i believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So i just play my part
Pray you'll have a change of heart
But i can make you see it through
That's something only love can do

the irony is that i'm not suppose to feel like this, coz in my entire 21 years of life, never once have i felt this way before... mayb its like... i dunoe how to say... but i'm just like, the same as my sister's plight back then luhhh.. tsk... so it pretty much feels weird being in the female's role actually... mayb thats why i feel so heartache, and so much of pathetic-ness towards myself.. :S

blablabla, all my posts are getting boring, they're just about all my sad feelings and how upset i am over this issue in my life. wth. i know mayb of you all are saying how pathetic derrick ong is already... blablabla.. you all probably just don't know how important she was to me..... ~

- Day 7 -

Its been continuously the 3rd day that I went town wif jolene.. walking by the familiar streets, yes those that were full of memories.. its like taking a walk down memory lane all over again.. for some reason, i seemed to be more proficient to walk about in town, more than just the usual paragon only.. and... it was always along shaw, wheelock, ion orchard, wisma, taka, then back again... i led jolene along the way like as though i've been there a hundred times in my lifetime. but apparently, no, i've never been there so often before... ha, its just etched back in my mind..

but both jolene and me have a few more things in common that just merely shopping when we were walking about town.. the memories that both of us had, seems to revolve around that area too.. mayb coz the importance in the matter left us undeniably missing what's happened back then... but the other party for both of our cases will never realise this at all, that's the sad difference... we've grown such a long way now, 21 years for me, and 18 years for her. sometimes i wonder, was it all meant to be like this?... like what's been happening for us, was it supposed to be this way? was everything, just destined to end like this, and have this kind of ending...




ahhh.. since young we all know fairytales aren't real, and they would always end in happy ending, and true or not, they end by midnite too. more than oftenly, fairytales never come true in real life.. yet, stubbornly, we would still think, that if we worked hard enough, somehow, maybe, perhaps, probably, it might still raise the chances that it worked out well?... but.. it never did. in comparison, how i wished it was a dream, at least, dreams have a chance of coming true, and sometimes, i can even choose to sleep longer so the dream would be longer as well.. self deluding.... but its damn sad luh, even till now, even when i know it would no matter what be a reality, i'm still hoping it to be a dream.. wth, i'm hopelessly helpless...

well, but it was never that way for neither me, nor jolene.. ironic.. when people look at us, they think we live in a fairytale-like life, but beneath our bare and inner self, we're all ordinary... just like everyone around us... ha, well, some people might not even understand a word this entire stanza is about! hecks.. so be it (:

hmm, well, abit more on what we've doing today.. were rather busy scampering around with jolene looking for her prom dress, with prom just 2 weeks ahead, it seemed all so last minute.. was rather determined to get something done today.. eventually, managed to buy a piece of gown, which looks not very overly formal, and yet, poised for the prom night. hopefully she's happy about it, to me it looked very suitable nevertheless. (:

then again, i feel so tired.. its been how long since i last took a rest.. a really good one is all i need.. my mind's so tired, tired of trying to catch hold of the you that's running through it..... nites....

"The world will never be the same once you've seen it through the eyes of Forrest Gump"

4am already.. stayed up abit late with jolene.. caught the show: Forrest Gump.. its been quite long since we last watched a movie in my room together lerr (: the movie indeed is very inspirational.. i would recommend all my friends to watch it too.. i guess me and my sister indeed do share alot in common.. we both realised that the only things that stay forever, its still family.. other things are so unpredictable.. i feel that i'm very blessed to have my mummy and my sister by my side. they've never given up on me, always being there for me when i need them. i ♥ them alot and cherish them too..

Many of us do take certain things for granted, but when it does come to giving your best, you must really do give your bestest best in whatever it might be. it doesn't guarantee a sure success, but at least by doing it, you won't regret what u've done. at least thats what i think. maybe i just didn't deserve it.

Its hard to wipe away everything like as though they didn't exist right in the first place.. memories will just keep coming up in every single aspect... they just don't seem to go away at all.. just like what my sister told me about her plight, how she was feeling back then.. i didn't realise how she was feeling, didn't even seem to care.. until, when i'm going through it all myself, then i could fully understand what she went through..its just a very painful process to go through.. she was able to recover from it, and move on eventually.. i believe i can too.. life still goes on nevertheless... the earth won't stop spinning for you, time still goes by, and it'll heal things.. for sure, it'll go off.. but i don't know how long thats all... had so much to say, so much to do, so much to give.. but... all came to nought.

maybe.. i just jumped into the ravine without my torchlights, i thought someone would hold my hand and bring me around, but i just woke up alone, lost, and scared.. but still, i must move on, and find the glimpse of light again, i'm sure i will... nites..

Everything looked normal, seemed normal, quiet and peaceful. Moving on for the better sake of everything around us.. Seemed to be a decent choice, at least brings joy and laughter to her again. Hinderance is futile, as that's not my way of handling stuff. Therefore explains the letting go.. I know its hard, but slowly, hopefully, eventually, everything will come to a pleasant end... However, some things will still have to go on, some things prepared, will still gotta be given to her, though some might no longer be valid... but well.. hope for the best ba..

Memories will be tucked safely, and away from the eyes of other unknowing people... At least they have a place to exist now, not in the present nor future, but the past. I still think its worthed reminiscing, and looking back.. at least for now, i guess. Probably just didn't expect the ship to sink so fast, no chance of gasping for air... i'm tired, off to bed.. nite...

"我会学着放弃你, 是因为我太爱你"

许多事情的结果,总是在经历过以后才会知道。一如感情生活,痛过了,才会懂得在今后如何保护自己;傻过了,才会懂得适时的坚持与放弃。在得到与失去中我们开始慢慢地认识自己、慢慢的成长。其实,生活并不需要这么无谓的执着,没有什么就真的不能割舍的。人,长大了、成熟了而学会放弃!生活就会更容易的眷顾青睐你。

学会放弃,在落泪以前转身离去,只留下简单的背影。学会放弃,将昨天埋在心底,留下最美好的回忆;学会放弃,让彼此都能有个更轻松的开始,遍体鳞伤的爱,并不一定就仅有那刻骨铭心的后遗。这一程,情深缘浅,走到今天,已经相当不容易,轻轻地抽出彼此告别的手,说声:“再见了,真的很感谢你这一路上的风雨陪伴!”“曾说过爱你的,今天,仍是爱你。只是,爱你,却不能与你在一起。一如爱那箐清原野夜幕下的篝火,爱它,却不能携它归去。”

让我们各自收拾起疲惫的心情继续前行吧。错过了花,我们将会收获着雨。我们继续走吧,我们将会在“润物细无声”中去收获各自的美丽。

一个永远不想失去对方的人,未必就是最爱对方的人;未必能对对方忠心耿耿。有时只是这种脑袋不清的小农型强烈占有欲者;有时也只是不想失去曾经的颜面!只有这种狭隘的小农意识,才会在未来的时间长河中做出各种“损人害己”的事情来。也许他还会理所当然的认为:“我得不到,你也不要想得到”!悲哉、轻哉!你以为她是什么?

在心中如果有“曾经拥有就永远不要失去”的偏执狂与占有欲,越想要获得这个物欲横流世界中的永久保证书,只会越走越偏离。

虽说喜欢一个人就愿意和她在一起。有时候,有些人,为了能达到目的,他们不惜使用“一打二闹三负气”这种最原始的办法,想以此挽留对方。也许这只能留住了对方的人,但是这却留不住对方的心。更有甚者,为了这而赔上了自己那年轻而又灿烂的生命。可能这会唤起对方的回应吗?但是这也带给了她更多的内疚与自责,还有不安;从此快乐就会和她挥手告别。爱上一个人,最重要的是让她快乐,因为她的喜怒哀乐都会牵动你的心绪。所以也有这样一句话“你快乐了,我才会快乐。”

喜欢一样东西,就要学会欣赏它,珍惜它,使它更弥足珍贵。

爱上一个人,就要让她快乐,让她幸福,使那份感情更诚挚。如果我们都做不到,那我们最好还是放手吧!所以有时候,我们面对那老朽的“爱情”,也要聪敏的学会放弃;只是因为,我们的放弃也是一种美丽。

歌手:古巨基 + 梁静茹
专辑: 幸福的抉择 I Do
歌曲:还是好朋友


在十字街头就相互保佑
那些体贴问候那美丽镜头
没必要一分开就变成了诅咒
相爱这一场可能是为了能拥有一个好朋友
还是好朋友比爱人长久
不能牵的手按在心头
在最寂寞的关头永远在左右
事过情迁后升华眼泪后(升华以后)
思念是最漫长的享受
那无痛的伤口还带着温柔到白头
亲吻失去感受火花烧到尽头
没激情有感情有另一种邂逅
相爱这一场可能是为了能拥有一个好朋友
还是好朋友比爱人长久
不能牵的手按在心头
在最寂寞的关头永远在左右
事过情迁后升华眼泪后(升华以后)
思念是最漫长的享受
那无痛的伤口还带着温柔到白头
是什么叫你我只配做一对好朋友

- Day 1 -

*It dawned me that this first post should be present, together with all the rest, to make up the full recovery 9 chapters of my first literal heartache of my 21 years of life. Therefore i'm making this available to everyone.*

The day when she told me about making the decision, many things were going through my mind. i knew everything's gonna fall deep, and hit the rocks from then on. I tried to retrieve myself back from everything, but i couldn't recover them all, i already lost part of me, in the process already. what i can't believe is, simply how normal she seemed, as though nothing had happened in the past 3 weeks.. mayb that's her way of being strong.. but then again, i don't blame her. i don't know why, i just can't seem to put any blame onto her.. i believe she's in a ultra difficult position herself too...

Below is an excerpt from a website, together with some of my inputs here and there...

"Life is like a road. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths. In our life many roads would come our way as we journey through life. There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune on one hand, or isolation and poverty on the other. There are roads to happiness as there are roads to sadness, roads towards victory and jubilation, and roads leading to defeat and disappointment.

Just like any road, there are corners, detours, and crossroads in life. Perhaps the most perplexing road that you would encounter is a crossroad. With four roads to choose from and with limited knowledge on where they would go, which road will you take? What is the guarantee that we would choose the right one along the way? Would you take any road, or just stay where you are: in front of a crossroad?


There are no guarantees.

You do not really know where a road will lead you until you take it. There are no guarantees. This is one of the most important things you need to realize about life. Nobody said that choosing to do the right thing all the time would always lead you to happiness. Loving someone with all your heart does not guarantee that it would be returned. Gaining fame and fortune does not guarantee happiness. Accepting a good word from an influential superior to cut your trip short up the career ladder is not always bad, especially if you are highly qualified and competent. There are too many possible outcomes, which your really cannot control. The only thing you have power over is the decisions that you will make, and how you would act and react to different situations.

Wrong decisions are always at hindsight.

Had you known that you were making a wrong decision, would you have gone along with it? Perhaps not, why would you choose a certain path when you know it would get you lost? Why make a certain decision if you knew from the very beginning that it is not the right one. It is only after you have made a decision and reflected on it that you realize its soundness. If the consequences or outcomes are good for you, then you have decided correctly. Otherwise, your decision was wrong.


Take the risk: Decide.

Since life offers no guarantee and you would never know that your decision would be wrong until you have made it, then you might as well take the risk and decide. It is definitely better than keeping yourself in limbo. Although it is true that one wrong turn could get you lost, it could also be that such a turn could be an opportunity for an adventure, moreover open more roads. It is all a matter of perspective. You have the choice between being a lost traveller or an accidental tourist of life. But take caution that you do not make decisions haphazardly. Taking risks is not about being careless and stupid. Here are some pointers that could help you choose the best option in the face of life's crossroads:

Get as many information as you can about your situation.


You cannot find the confidence to decide when you know so little about what you are faced with. Just like any news reporter, ask the 5 W's: what, who, when, where, and why. What is the situation? Who are the people involved? When did this happen? Where is this leading? Why are you in this situation? These are just some of the possible questions to ask to know more about your situation. This is important. Oftentimes, the reason for indecision is the lack of information about a situation.

Identify and create options.

What options do the situation give you? Sometimes the options are few, but sometimes they are numerous. But what do you do when you think that the situation offers no options? This is the time that you create your own. Make your creative mind work. From the most simplistic to the most complicated, entertain all ideas. Do not shoot anything down when an idea comes to your head. Sometimes the most outrageous idea could prove to be the right one in the end. You can ask a friend to help you identify options and even make more options if you encounter some difficulty, but make sure that you make the decision yourself in the end.

Weigh the pros and cons of every option.

Assess each option by looking at the advantages and disadvantages it offers you. In this way, you get more insights about the consequences of such an option.

Trust yourself and make that decision.

Now that you have assessed your options, it is now time to trust yourself. Remember that there are no guarantees and wrong decisions are always at hindsight. So choose... decide... believe that you are choosing the best option at this point in time.

Now that you have made a decision, be ready to face its consequences: good and bad. It may take you to a place of promise or to a land of problems. But the important thing is that you have chosen to live your life instead of remaining a bystander or a passive audience to your own life. Whether it is the right decision or not, only time can tell. But do not regret it whatever the outcome. Instead, learn from it and remember that you always have the chance to make better decisions in the future."

Sorry for the extremely long first post, i already tried my best, i just couldn't help it but to include all this in my blog post. whenever i'm hitting the rocks again, i'll definitely come back here and read and find my inspiration from here. and start everything right over again...
