Still Thinking Of One

Long time...

2007-10-16T01:08:00.000+08:00

Well i haven't even thought about blogging for a long long time and well it took me awhile to even find this. I still don't know how i actually managed to get here! I kept trying to type in the username and password and finally went to check if my gmail account still worked and somehow managed to get here! Life has been mundane. Uni and home, study and sleep. Still trying to find something else that'll occupy my time. Finally got a reply from woolworths and started there! My training shift is at half past 4 tomorrow so i'm pretty psyched. The only problem is it means i'm not gonna be going back home. I've thought abt it long and hard and despite the vibes i get from someone talking to me abt it i think it's the right decision to stay here and work. My exams start extremely early this year! I have a 6 day study break. Seems alright though.. i'm getting by! Mike.. if you do read this there's alot i wanna ask you! Keep arguing abt something with someone and i really don't believe what they're saying but i need to hear it from you. So bloody call or msg or something!!!!! alright.. seems enough for a first blog.. somewhat..

Back in Oz

2007-02-23T16:57:00.000+08:00

It's finally back to Oz and well i'm so bloody tired today. As usual i barely slept through the flight. I do think i got about an hour or so of sleep. I didn't quite like the movies too. It's been a weird first day back. Mike and Prav came this morning to get me from the airport. Went to mac's for coffee then back here. The one thing i'm still nodding in agreement for is the foxtel cable that we now have. Looks like i'll never leave the house weekend nights anymore. I actually get to watch soccer matches here.

I'm trying to get used to the empty house. I haven't been in an empty house in 3 months. Whether it be an annoying little sister, a brother for a partner to make fun of everybody, a real irritating dad or an entertaining mum. I miss it all!!! It's way too quiet here. I think i'll just get to bed early tonight and go for a run in the morning. My tummy should be a person on its own by now. Ciao...

Where's the time going?

2006-08-09T21:59:00.000+08:00

I guess its time I entered something. Well it's National Day today in s'pore. I don't really care about the day but it's the memories I have of the day that are nice! There's so many memories from different years. Last night I got a message to remind me of last years' and this evening I got another to remember the one from the year before. Oh yea, I still remember the blinking s'pore flag collar pin from 2 years ago. There's one thing in common in these messages and it's that I'd like to re-live them. I wouldn't change a thing from them either. They're both perfect memories. Memories can be such a bitch sometimes but this is a memory I definitely like.

The weeks seem to be passing really quickly now. It's almost the end of week 3 for me. The work is really starting to pile up. I've just handed in two assignments and I have 2 more. The drawing that I was struggling to finish is finally done, I think it's the nicest looking thing i've ever drawn! But i've got another one now. Do these people want us to have no social life at all? I'm back to my old self, home on weekends doing work and well just staying stuck in my books all the bloody time. The good news is that i'm starting to get back into the groove of things and studying is becoming easier. So is the work. My room looks a little more filled and so am I. Now I can't wait for next month when my parents come up. Then I can fill it even more! The joy of having my parents here. Oh joy... ciao..

New Beginning

2006-07-31T15:35:00.000+08:00

Well now that i'm finally settled at the new place and have the internet connected its time to up date. Things have been good and the new place is lovely. Having a bathroom/toilet to myself is bloody fantastic. Now there's just the matter of settling the old bills and getting our bond money back. The stupid bitches are still delaying it and it's been 2 weeks already. I'm still struggling to fill up my room and having no money doesn't help. The only thing i've been doing is filling it up with candles! It may be empty but at least it smells good. Not having mike ard is really different and i don't mean that in a good or a bad way. I think Mike is really too much like family to me. I can't live with him but after a long day at uni or just sitting down at home i realise i can't live without him. To not have someone fidgeting with their car 24/7 is a new thing.

Uni has begun and right now i'm really happy i did the foundation course. All the math i've been doing so far has been so simple. From damning the lecturers i had lasy year i'm thanking them now. Only sad part is i didn't get the brilliant math lecturer i had last year. My lecturers are real characters. One of them wears a different hat to uni everyday and i finally found out why today. The bugger is balding so he tries to cover it up. As with all my lecturers, he's hillarious. I also have an englishman for one of my classes. Hearing phrases like 'sorry if i lose the plot' and just the english accent makes the lectures funny. It's only week 2 but i'm glad that i'm enjoying it so far.

Oh yes, and the abundance of hot girls is lovely.

When someone tells you I thought about giving up. Is it something to think about? Sometimes sarcasm, anger and even smiles hide the true feeling inside. So how do you interpret what it means. I really hate this week. It could be because Wednesday is a day i don't want to come because it'll just remind me that i don't wanna be alone here. It could be because my exams are next week. It could be the conversation i just had. Most likely it's all of them put together mixed with alot of self-doubt. Either way i'll do my usual of blocking out everything and just smiling. Ignorance is bliss and well, the more i block it out the less vulnerable i am. The more inhuman i become as well but there has to be a drawback right. My prep for exams are going well, waking up early and getting work done is good, now i have to hope for a sunny day so i can go for a run. I need that now more than ever. So i'm gonna just do everything the same and just block out what i don't wanna know. Let's see how long that lasts. At the end of the day, i'm here and you're there. So you decide what you wanna do. If you wanna give up then i'm not gonna stop you. It's your life.

Exams

2006-06-06T21:42:00.000+08:00

Finally they're here! After a year of too much work cramped into little time i'm alomost done. Now comes the final hurdle. It's 2 weeks till my exams and i'm feeling pretty confident. My math is good and the constant revision is paying off. Aside from the few minor problems all is going well. Got a call from my parents on sunday evening to get my usual updates from my mum on how everyone is back home and to make me hungry by telling me of all that didi has made recently. Then again there's also my dad who'll remind of how important these exams are and how this is my last shot. I feel good right now and i've got 2 weeks to make things excellent. I think i'm doing alright. Instead of stressing out myself by trying to tackle everything at once i'm being my usual self and just not bothering.. only difference is i'm actually studying as well.

I've found that by watching a dvd every night i actually am really relaxed and ready for the next day. So far 4 hours a day of studying has been suffice but well next week it's time to push into overdrive. Thank goodness we go get dvd's on sunday nights now. This week mike and i got 8 dvd's for the week. Hopefully we'll do the same for next. I think i'm gonna need alot more for next week.. oh yea.. chubbs if u read this, i rarely come online nowadays but send me an email and i'll get back to you!! soon...

The evening sky from behind Uni

At long last

2006-06-02T20:31:00.000+08:00

I'm really bored tonight and i've given up on doing work. I've had a headache since last night and it's my stupid teeth again, only thing is i don't have money here so i decided to wait till i go back at the end of the year to get them pulled. They were giving me trouble a couple of weeks ago but the pain subsided after 3 headache filled days and now the pain is back. I just hope the pain goes away within the next 2 weeks. Exams are here..finally. No more shitloads of work to complete. I've finished my last few assignments already and now it's just revision. Looking back through my stuff is a bitch. I can barely remember everything i did last semester. Still, everything is going well.. i've found that i can get alot of work done as long as i'm away from home... no distractions. It's really starting to get damn cold. Every day now i'm calling prav or sash to come get me because i'm so cold that i don't wanna move.

I was listening to all the old songs i have and i came across santa monica by savage garden. It's a really nice, sad song and it got me thinking alot about how true it is. 'On the telephone line i am anyone, i am anything i wanna be'. It's so true. So many people try to be people they're not and well sometimes it's funny and at others you just wonder... what's the point? who are you trying to impress? 'Or would you move?' I don't think anyone would so we go on living our artificial lives and are happy with the fiction we type. Sad sad world... I'm off to call Joyce...

Enlightened? Nah...

2006-04-26T19:13:00.000+08:00

It's been just about 2 weeks since i last blogged and there really isn't any excuse at all. Oh wait, there is the internet moving at snails' pace because we overused our limit. Things are slowly merging back to the norm. The only good part is that i don't have much work just yet. Then again it's only my first week back for the last term. I've got 8 weeks to my finals. Under normal circumstances most people would be dreading this but i'm definitely looking forward to it. Finally all this work will be gone. I get to relax with things. It's really amazing to think of how long i've been here already. Come the end of this term it'll be about a year. What have i achieved these past 8 months.. I've more or less stopped going to church, i don't think going on good friday really counts since i haven't been going every week. I haven't gone for a run in months, not a big deal in comparison to the last but well it's worth putting down as well. Well i have learnt to actually study and i have been.. just that it's taken me 21 years to actually start. I really need to start looking at myself and seeing what it is that i want. There's so much and yet i have no idea what to do to achieve them. Sooner or later i'm going to have to make a move that determines me being happy.

As life comes back to its constant barrage of work and boredom i just hope to get through this term maintaining the zest for studying i've been able to maintain so far. It did take a trip back home after last semester to get me rejuvenated so hopefully this time i can get through it on my own. It's horrible though not being able to have Joyce with me but i'll get by...i think... Yes i don't go clubbing with the guys and yes i'm the one at home just about all the time when they're out but i find joy in the simplest things. From cooking dinner for all of us to just sitting back going through the photos on my com.

On a brighter note, Mike has been very cheerful the last couple of days. It's bloody fantastic! He's cleaning dishes and the house as well!! It's a bloody miracle. I'm not complaining though. I should've stopped doing all these things a long time ago. Maybe he just didn't do any of it because i always did it first! The dishes don't stay in the sink for days anymore. I like!

Oh the boredom..

2006-04-13T20:33:00.000+08:00

It's finally getting to the end of the week and so ishall sum up my week so far. Other than going to the farm on tuesday, which was a bloody waste of time, i have done nothing at all. I've finished up my assignments for the break but that's about it. My not being able to sleep in isn't helping either. Every morning i'm sure to get up at 10 latest and that's only if i decide to just lay in bed to try to fall back asleep. I'm usually awake at 8. It's definitely getting annoying because i'm trying to sleep more just to make the day seem shorter. This week isn't even over yet and my break hasn't reached its mid-point but already i'm bored. So typical of me though, first to complain that i need a break and now that i do have one i just want to get back to classes. I spent today watching the entire second season of scrubs which i have finished and now i've run out of shows to watch. My back hasn't been aching as much today so i've decided that i'm gonna go for a run when i get up. It'll help! At least i'll know how bad my back is and the run will help clear my mind and maybe get a good nights sleep as well. It's been awhile but yesterday was good.. could be because i called Joyce last night too. I have also decided that since i've got so much time and nothing to do i shall start writing songs again. It could be a good thing. Oh well i have nothing more to say or to bitch about. later...

2006-04-11T18:59:00.000+08:00

How do short guys injure their back?.. pure genius!

2006-04-11T18:36:00.000+08:00

Today has been such a drag and an overall annoyance. Got up at 4 this morning to get ready to go grape picking. Supposedly $2.80 per bucket and easily possible to make at least a hundred dollars by the end of the day. Somehow waking up at 4 becomes wothwhile with the thought of a hundred dollars by days' end. So we go for our 45 minute drive to the farm and sign up and get brought down to the vineyard. We start picking at about quarter past 7 and 2 hours later...we have a break! Aussies are so lazy! So we re-start picking and none of us actually bothered to ask about how much we're getting paid. So finally keshav asks and i hear it from another guy that we're only getting $1.50 per bucket. This would seem alright but we've already paid $30 for the job and $10 on fuel to get us there. So to break even for the day we would need about 30 buckets which is possible but that leaves us with barely anything and we were promised $2 to $2.80 per bucket. So as i'm complaining about this while still picking grapes i decided to grab my bucket to pull it closer. Then came the snap and suddenly i felt a surge of pain through my back. I just threw my back. I can't even explain how much pain i was in. I realised how stupid the situation was... the shortest guy is the one who injures his back. So at lunch time we decided... to hell with this shit and we left. I'm leaving out the parts on one of the supervisors who will probably get run over by a bus or eaten by a cow or somwthing like. What a prick.

So we walk back to the car which is a 15 minute walk away and just sit there and eat our lunch. So we start on our journey back home. Within 5 minutes of driving Mike and Keshav knock out. So Sash and i are just talking and listening to some good classic rock ballads! So we are driving for what seemed an eternity and i realised something...ofcourse i waited half an hour to tell him... i didn't recognise anything we were driving past. So we decided to keep driving just to make sure. We had actually driven about 30 km's in the wrong direction. The only good thing was that the view was absolutely fantastic! I guess i was still awake because of the bloody pain in my back but i'm glad i was. Now i'm sitting at my deask in my room and clutching my back. Ok i was doing that awhile ago but it still is hurting like crazy... aight...later... painkillers! Mmmmm..

2006-04-08T22:40:00.000+08:00

Bro i told you i'd put this up a long time ago..better late then never! For those who don't know what this is...it's stu presenting his name written in his own pee.

Bite the curb bitch...

2006-04-08T21:16:00.000+08:00

Well last night was interesting. Due to my recent boycott of clubbing i haven't been out with the guys for ages. Yesterday i just got a reminder of why... and more. The day was good. Finished up the term on a good note, all my test results are fantastic so that's good. The guys were driving into town so we all hung out at Rundle Mall which would be the Adelaide equivalent to Orchard Road. You get to see a whole lot of interesting characters! Stayed there a few hours then headed home and i made the mistake of agreeing to follow them out that night. First it was the story that we wouldn't go to a club since they knew i didn't wanna. Well we ended up going to the only place they ever go to, Red Square, where they are going again tonight. The place was empty, there was about a good song played every 5 to 6 songs and just bloody boring. We only got there around midnight and i survived till around half past 2, alot earlier i think. Then i realised i could do something alot more fun.. so i went to the car and fell asleep. That's where things got weird and funny at first then became scary.

A little while after getting to the car i noticed there were quite a few cars that started coming into the lot. Most of them with booming music and all playing R&B. The homies had decided this carpark was their hang-out. Watching them was funny. All wearing the normal big-ass jerseys, weird ass headbands and well the afro's still make me laugh. Then they started getting violent with each other and noisy and i realised it may not just be a hangout but rather where these idiots had decided to clash. I locked the doors, put the windows down just enough for air to come in and tried to fall asleep, and at times pretended to sleep as these idiots were at the front of the car screaming at me. That's when i decided it was getting freaky and messaged Mike. If big weird looking guys are gonna beat the shit out of me i guess it'll be good to have one big, weird looking guy on your side right? Knowing that the one on my side could probably take down at least 3 of them was comforting too. Only thing i forgot is how mike never seems to hear his phone and so i kept keshav's number on the speed dial too. Well nothing happened, thank goodness, and about 1 and a half hours after i messaged mike....he comes out of the place to check whether i'm there. At least it's comforting to know that if anything had happened Mike would have found me dead there! haha. Interesting evening but most definitely the last time i decide to go out with the guys. Nothing to do with the homies but rather with the night overall. Hanging out with the guys is fun but not to go clubbing. As keshav says....all 'hunters' are out. The 3 guys included. Still can't live without them though.. sad isn't it. ciao...

Just My Luck

2006-04-05T19:42:00.000+08:00

I really don't understand how it's cold just about all the time here. I know.. i've been complaining of how it has been so hot recently but as i said before as well, i'm gonna complain about how its damn cold too. It looks like it has definitely started to get cold. We wait for summer to come so the place gets warm and that doesn't happen till close to the end of summer and the moment autumn is here it gets cold immediatly. So in actual fact its cold about 75% of the time here. If it was moderately cold it would be nice. Something around 18 to 20 degrees is just nice but its bloody cold. Today was absolutely lovely, first as i was leaving the house it looked nice and sunny and actually in my ideal temperature range and as i'm walking out it starts raining. Bloody hell! So i ran to the bus stop and i dried off pretty quickly, i'm leaving out how bloody cold i was then, too much bitching. So i get to class and well its nice and warm in the lecture theatre and then it was time to leave. Once again it was so bloody cold but now it's worse, it's windy as well. When i say windy i mean really windy, i couldn't walk properly! The wind was actually taking me away. Sounds cool but not really. It's harder to walk and its looks weird when you're putting in so much effort just to walk.

Woke up this morning feeling crappy and the day just added to the overall mood. Dull and boring are the only words to use to explain the day. 2 tests in 2 classes today so 4 hours straight of papers to do. Short ones in comparison to the normal ones. Got home, had something to eat then worked out a little. Went through my songs and found a few i haven't heard in ages, depressing songs! haha.. just to compliment the day. I've listened to ' easy tonight' by Five For Fighting at least 7 to 8 times today. That and 'through the barricades' by Spandau Ballet have been the songs playing all day for me. My mum loves the latter so i've learnt to play it already, must prepare for our end of year jamming sessions. The world cup is about 65 days away so that's something to look forward to. It's gonna be really different though watching the world cup on my own or at a bar filled with people i don't know and probably won't like either. Then ofcourse there's a b'day with no one around... oh joy! Later...

2006-03-30T18:07:00.000+08:00

I was going through my photos and this one just looks really wrong. A stupid cousin and brother can do things like that.

Sit down and shut up

2006-03-30T17:52:00.000+08:00

Its time once again for me to write stuff that no one really cares about but i'm gonna write it all anyway. The days really seem to fly by now. No complains from me though, the faster days go by the better. Classes have been bloody brilliant. For everyone who thought I never would be able to study, myself included, i'm proving that totally wrong. This semester is slowly but surely becoming the best i've ever had my entire academic life. Not that I can actually call any of the years before the same. Somehow everything seems to go my way and no matter what happens i just smile to myself and know that there's nothing that can bring me down. Then again i also get very disturbing tags on my board.. just so you know makkal that wasn't funny! You fucking weirdo. Although I do miss the tall pile of shit being around. Slacking, watching DVD's whatever it was it somehow gets livelier with just a little criticism of anyone within the watchful eyes.

It looks like autumn has finally spread its wings upon us...properly. The nights are getting colder everyday and the days are starting to get like that too. I'm sure if i'd walked too close to a window today i probably could have cut it. For those of you who don't know what that means.. too bad and for those who do.. its not funny! i'm really serious. Its time to get out the jackets again. There goes me wearing my 3/4's to class. Now i wear my jeans and its still cold.

Happy times

2006-03-13T15:43:00.000+08:00

And i'm back...

2006-03-13T14:21:00.000+08:00

It's been a long long time but I guess its time to begin again. Already 7 weeks have passed since I got back here to the arse-end of the world. Slowly but surely things have been falling into place and I'm back into my way of doing things. The work has actually been pretty good this semester and I'm actually coping with it really well. Tests and assignments have been wonderful so far. Nothing below a distinction and I don't think I've been doing as much work as last semester. The weather is pretty horrible though, it's been so bloody warm recently. I remember complaining so much that its bloody cold and now I'm still complaining just this time about the opposite. Other than missing Joyce like crazy I think everything is going well.

Alright, now that I've more or less caught up. It's time for the usual nonsense entries. This weekend has been lovely. The Aussies never cease to amaze me with the amount of retarded holidays they can come up with. Today it's a public holiday for the Adelaide cup! A horse racing event held annually. Isn't it amazing how they look for any excuse to have a holiday? There's an Easter Monday as well. As if having Good Friday as a holiday isn't enough they make Monday a holiday as well. Talk about lazy bastards. I'm not complaining though. I think this weekend has been extra lovely because I've done little to no work at all. In all I've probably spent about 2 hours doing work. I'm contemplating doing some work now but well I'm just too lazy. If I actually maintain all I'm doing now, I think I'm not going to have any trouble at the end of the semester.

So now its back to lazing! Only problem is I'm running out of things to do. Joyce is working so I've got to find something to do, can't just msg her the whole day. Damnit!Ciao for now..Looks like I'll be blogging a lot more often now on..

Where's the time going?

2005-11-13T20:01:00.000+08:00

Its been a week since i last blogged and there is due reason..well not really but somehow i just never find the time to or i just really have nothing to say. This week has really just vanished. Started on the wrong foot though, i overslept on monday and well i was just to lazy to get my arse out of bed so i skipped 3 classes. On the other hand i managed to finish an assignment i had. After that the week zipped by. Work seems to collect on a regular basis now. I think i'm just getting lazier. I never had this problem in the first term. Somehow i don't think its me! Really!! This term is different, everytime i manage to finish 1 assignment i get another. Just to add to the pile. The worst part is that i actually do work everyday. I think i spend more time trying to complete assignments then actually studying. I've gotten the last physics assignment though, haven't done it but well its due on wednesday. At least now i can just concentrate on studying. The bloody exams are in 2 weeks and well i don't see myself really doing too well. Don't get me wrong, i do spend just about all my time studying and mostly doing work but somehow i still don't feel its gonna play out my way.

This weekend was the catch-up weekend. I haven't left the house and i've been finishing up all my work. The good news is that i've completed just about everything. For this week the plan is to start studying, as in proper studying. My head's been in a mess since last night and well i don't think being stuck in my books the whole of today has helped it. Now i have an absolutely brilliant headache and i've given up on even trying to do anymore work or study. I've got a math test tomorro which i am no where even close to being prepared for. Oh well..

I did manage to fit in a run today though. Definitely very relaxing. My left arm is still aching though. Something is wrong somewhere. Mike thinks i may have a previous injury but that would be something new to me too! Its finally getting warmer! It's been bloody cold again this week.

1 more month and i get a break. A much needed one too. I can't wait...

The weekend..

2005-11-06T21:22:00.000+08:00

Well another week gone by and still packed up with work but i seem to have gotten very little done this weekend! Now lets see, friday was my usual boring routine of relaxing, a short run and back home to do some work! Ofcourse in between i realised that the house was getting pretty messy so it was cleaning time. The three of us decided to clean out the house so well its clean for now. Saturday went by pretty quickly. Got up and went for a drive with sashi. Went to a shopping mall where everything is real cheap! My kinda place! After that we decided to go for a walk down the beach since we were so close by(nothing to do with the endless flow of bikini-clad chicks all over the place).

Today was nice! Went over to uncle sri and aunt renu's place! The neighbourhood is amazing. The houses are humungous and well they have a pool and a tennis court! I like the place already. Had lunch then just sat around and talked. Reminds me so much of how we used to do this all the time in s'pore! Some years ago. Uncle sri who is apparently my mums boyfriend, is still the same as before and the conversations were fun as usual. According to shanice, who reminds me so much of tess, tells me that i'm still a small boy in aunt renu's eyes and well it shows pretty clearly as well. Its fun though, like having my mum around! haha.. ok wait, maybe not that fun anymore! Well shanice is hillarious. She speaks just like the band girl from american pie and has a theory that the ducks are gonna take over the world. The chickens are their kamikazes, spreading the bird flu. This girl needs help! Really reminds me so much of tess. All in all its been a good day but now i have to worry about finishing up my assignments and getting back on track.. there's always tomorro.

TML???

2005-11-02T21:09:00.000+08:00

Well another uneventful day but another interesting article i read which i am gonna share with you. Like it or not!! I was reading through my mag again on the crapper(just decided to share that), i do most of my reading there! haha.. but back to the point. In it there's an article about divorces. I actually decided to read it, usually i just skip them but this one is pretty funny! i bet an aussie wrote it!

Well the guy talks about how most marriages end up in divorce and how he is exposed to good relationships nad that he just feels that it should be done like business. 'TLM' comes from there. 'Time-limited marriage'. You go through the whole ceremony and all but its like a contract! This is hillarious ain't it! Well he says that it should be a 5 year thing and upon completion you get a certificate and the choice to extend it and go through the whole ceremony again! Well apparently this dude has got a problem! Its pretty obvious. What is the point of getting married then! These aussies crazk me up! What a bunch of bloody wankers. Give them a beer and they'll say all kinds of stupid junk! Oh well...

I have put up a very nice poster in my room. Its kinda small though.. but its lovely! A poster of jessica alba from into the blue! Now that is one hot hot chick!

The new week

2005-11-01T21:46:00.000+08:00

Well another one of my irrelevant and very infrequent blogs! Today has been a rather boring one. Was talking to a guy at the bus stop while waiting for my bus this morning. He started off by asking me what time the bus comes then proceeded to tell me of why he was taking the bus and how it was only because he had to sell his car and well the normal chatter of how the fuel prices are going up and the bus is alot cheaper now and so on. See i was totally alright with all this, i mean the bus ride can be a bloody boring one but then... this big-ass housefly lands on his right cheek and he just keeps on talking! Thats one thing i don't understand! i was getting annoyed just by looking at it and this guy could just go on talking to me with the fly on his face! I really don't get how aussies can actually ust go on with whatever they're doing when there's a damn fly on their face!! You know how you go to the zoo and you see the flies all over the animals faces and you wonder how they can be so calm and not bother about it? Well now i'm trying to find the difference between the animals and the aussies.. its a very fine line i suppose.

Well as usual i had to find something to pass the little time i have with nothing to do so i got a magazine today. Unlike mike and his need for porn and fhm(i'm sorry mike i couldn't resist) i got myself a proper mag but the content was more along the lines of mikes' mag's. I was reading one of the bulletin columns in the mag and its about a condom invented in south africa made for women that is protection against rape! It's called a 'rapex'!! "It is worn like a tampon and hooks onto the attackers prick". Now the thing is that the rapist has the chance to get away which is part of their plan but the damn thing stings like a bitch so the only place the rapist would run to is a hospital so yes..he'll be caught! Apparently they're testing it on a couple of women now for comfort and they have tested it on a dummy... that poor poor dummy! Now the thing that strikes me the most is that i thought i'd never find people more bored than the aussies, apparently there are people that are! See.. isn't that as irrelevant a story as you can ever find! Well expect it alot more! If you don't like it...bugger off...

On a more serious(and calm) note, i finished pretty early today and decided to head to a place that i've not been to in ages. Church! I know, i used to be totally reliant on it but well thats a part of me that has been dormant the past couple of weeks! I think the last time we went to church was abt 2 months ago! Now thats a long long time for a person who usually never misses 2 weeks on the trot. Well being all souls day, (thanks for reminding me dear), i decided to go to the church. St Francis Xavier Cathedral. Irony doesn't seem funny anymore! But yes i ended up going in for a prayer and ended spending about an hour there. Somehow i felt more at home there than i have anywhere else. For that hour or so it felt like i was right where i wanted to be and nothing could bother me. Well i think its time for the excuses to stop and the attending mass to be more frequent. I know i'm gonna need the prayers! Alot of them!

Pouring in

2005-10-26T22:26:00.000+08:00

Well this week has been a real bitch so far and i'm only halfway through. I've really been busier than usual since the beginning of the week. Tests galore and bad results don't seem to be giving me any motivation either. On the bright side though, its week 3 for me and it just means 3 weeks closer to my break. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. I've got alot of studying to do if i expect to keep my results good. The recent run of bad results for my assignments has gotta come to an end. Its time to get down to more serious studying. I think the constant workload has been giving me no time for revision. I seem to be having to finish up assignments all the time and always being way too tired to consentrate on anything else. This is a bitch!

My mum's constant long-ass e-mails still keep coming in though and as amazing as it seems i find them really entertaining. Yes i know..i'm a mummy's boy! Her retarded ones are really good for laughs and well the rest is just to update me on how things are back home and mostly to complain about my sister. Some things just never change i guess.

The routine still continues and i'm still trying to stop my retardation ant try to climb my way out of a whole being dug deeper everyday. I just need something new but then again, with the amount of work i have now that just seems impossible. I think i should start writing songs again! It'll pass time and relax me. I could do with alot of that. On a brighter note, i finished reading the book i bought at the gepps cross market that we go to on sundays! I think its really an amazing book. I enjoyed it immensely. Worth all of the 2 dollars i paid! I would gladly have paid more. Really nice build-up and really just fulfils everything. Only problem is now i have to find a new book to read. Not exactly a daunting task but well i'm way too lazy. I did see one that looked interesting though. 'The Zahir' by Paul Coelho. Has anyone read it or is reading it?? Let me know! I'm thinking about getting it.

On that i shall stop ranting and go do something productive.

Boredom kicks in...

2005-10-21T22:44:00.000+08:00

A long time since i've blogged but then again there's nothing much to say. The week has snaked by ever so slowly and well the time just seems to really drag by. I started reading a new book at the start of this week. On bear mountain. This book is really good! I mean i'm almost done with it already. I like reading but well i don't really read all that often. Somehow this one really caught my attention and well i can't stop reading it. Well the story is one of love and family. I think the story really develops really well.

The week has been alright. Not much work so thats always a good thing but the tests are rolling in. Finally after a week of just work we decided to go to town tonight to enjoy ourselves. Went to the sports bar where mike and i won two beers but oh well mike didn't want it! Then again sashi helped himself to it almost immediatly so no second glass for me! Things seem to be coming to a standstill. Everything seems the same and the routine is a boring one! I can't wait to get back home and just really relax. That's gotta be the thing to push me through till the end of this year. Thank goodness for my guitar that seems to fill in all the blanks in a totally uneventful week or even month. Sooner or later this all will get to me and thats gonna be a bitch. Well live for today and i'll get through each one slowly.

It comes and goes way too quickly..

2005-10-16T22:37:00.000+08:00

Its sunday night again and another weekend has passed in the blink of an eye. To wait 5 days and to see it just disappear so quickly is horrible but well the best i can do is to make the best of it which sadly wasn't much this week. Spent saturday doing nothing at all. Unless you count sitting in front of the tv doing nothing as something! That and i actually popped my guitar string! Damn it! but thank goodness i brought the strings that i wanted to change to. I took of all the strings and opened up the guitar to check the damn connections. Well mike says there's nothing wrong with the connections and everything looks fine. Now if only i had an amp to test it with! Well anyway i put on the new strings and it sounds lovely again! What joy!! Saturday night was a lazy night. The rest of the guys went clubbing and i decided to stay home to watch tv and do some work. Was pretty alright. Then got up this morning, made pancakes and went back to sleep! There's absolutely nothing to do. So its back to classes tomorro...whoop di doo! i can't wait...

Loving the weekend

2005-10-14T22:56:00.000+08:00

A week's gone by in what seemed like a few hours. Such a routine boring week yet it fly right by. It could be the fact that i sleep alot earlier now but then again i don't really think so. Well being true to its reputation i already have two assignments. There really is no end!! After escaping it for 2 weeks i'm right back where i was a couple of weeks ago.. oh well it'll be over soon enough.

Something that really caught my eye on the way back from school today was this little boy barely 8 or 9 years old.The bus was pretty packed so this boy was seated with his mother and saw an old guy walk in. He got up and offered the seat to this old guy. Even at an age where he probably doesn't understand what he's doing and why he readily got up and offered his seat. Its seeing little things like this makes you wonder where did s'pore go wrong. If it was in s'pore and an old guy walks in, nobody would offer their seat. God-damn yellow people. I need someone to blame so why not.....

Its the weekend so its back to my magical little bag. Its good richie! very good! get up here and i'll let you have some!

2005-10-11T21:03:00.000+08:00

After another long day its good to be home and relaxing. Somehow the days go by slower now. But all is good, not much work just yet so thats probably why and i'm not complaining about that either. The bus rides to and fro are always entertaining and if not, its just relaxing. I sometimes find myself wishing the bus rides were actually longer. Thank goodness for mp3 players. I decided to take a short walk through town today to kill off some time and i realise that life here is nice! It's so relaxed and well even in the middle of town there's no mad rush for shopping or really rude people pushing you around and well s'porean. That and every now and then you pass a chick that just makes you stare in awe. Could always do with more of those. I just find it really good when everyone around is willing to help. The bus drivers are the ones that i really think are the best here. They always seem to be in a good mood. How?? They sit in a bus the whole day driving the same bloody route over and over again yet stay cheerful and greet every person that boards the bus!! Those guys are good.

I finally got my first term report. Its bloody amazing how my parents actually got it before me. Then again it doesn't contain any grades but it has the opinions of the lecturers on how i'm doing so far. One actually said that i was a friendly and co-operative student!! I don't speak in class and i just sit at the back!! How does that make me friendly and co-operative?? Someone please explain that to me. Other than that all the remarks seem to be fitting. I swear the way they run this foundation course is like a primary school. If you don't show up for class they call you and talk to you to see if anything is wrong and when you're under achieving they talk to you and counsel. I'm bloody 21 damn it! I don't need that shit. Its funny though. They all seem to know my name. I mean all...some of the lecturers i've never seen before know my name. Damn jackasses!

I'm thinking of joining the uni soccer team but time seems to be a problem right now so that remains to be seen. Oh well...

It has begun....

2005-10-10T21:50:00.000+08:00

And so it begins, the second term. According to my mum the report that was sent to them for the first was pretty good so at least i'm not too worried. The annoying part is how they have it already and i don't!! How the hell does that work?? God damned aussies...can't they get anything right!? Well the first day back was alright. I didn't fall asleep so that was a good start. I almost forgot how amazingly boring lecturers can be and i was reminded of just that today. Yesterday night i was hoping so much that i'd be able to get up. For my entire break i don't think i got up before 11am even once. Then again i never slept before 3 either. Amazingly, i did get up on time and even made it to class on time. After 6 hours of classes with just an hours' break in between and 2 assignments submitted i find myself through the first day and with another new assignment. What the hell!!?? Don't i ever get to catch a break?! All in all i think its been a pretty good day. No stress! thats always a good thing! Now to hope that continues for the whole week.

The ads on tv here are really really weird. Its either some guy screaming about how their stuff is discounted or an ad portrayed in song. I must admit the stupid tunes get stuck in your head but they're just plain annoying! maybe even more annoying than me!! Now think about that... just imagine something like that. After months here i still don't get some of their ads. There was one though that was pretty good. Its just a bottle of a liquor of some sort out against a green backdrop. Then a voice just narrates the whole ad. It says "this ad was initially supposed to have 50 naked girls playing in the background but due to the new censorship rights they're not allowed to show that so just imagine 50 chicks playing but remember we will not be held liable for anything and if you have any complaints do write to yourself and your situation will be dealt with as soon as possible..thank you". I think the idea was good! A little retarded...yes...but oh well i kinda liked it.

The weather here is full of shit too. Its supposed to be bloody spring! Where's the bloody warmth?? Today had a high of 16 degrees and it was bloody chilly! Tomorro's forecast...wet and a high of 16 degrees again! Where is the warm weather?? and another thing...for a country supposedly in drought 60% of the year there seems to be plenty of rain. Stupid place! This country blows!

I sense a good term coming. Mostly due to the fact that i keep looking to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Its just 10 weeks then i get to be where i wanna be...and more importantly.....warm again!!!

BEER...Bringing people together...lovely ain't it!!

And we're back

2005-10-03T19:40:00.000+08:00

Well the past few days have been pretty good. After a long drive up to melbourne early thursday morning we finally arrived in a very weird place! The trip was good actually, mostly because i just sat back and looked out the window and occasionally fell asleep. The view along great ocean road was really spectacular! I'm shocked at my phone. The photos came out really nice. After that 13 hour journey we arrived at prav's cousins place. Our place to supposedly rough it out for the few days! We stayed in their basement and well the place was like a house on its own. We had our own toilet/bathroom and well more than enough space for 6 people probably. The moment i get there it didn't take more than an hour to hear from jon liew! Met him on friday afternoon for a couple of beers then met brian and pals! Got something i was waiting for...haha...then met jon peeris for an evening out. Well we spent most of the time meeting old faces! No pun intended! Saturday night we went over to brendan hng's place. Was a real arty farty party but well we left early and headed to one of the clubs there! It was little india all over again..just with accents. Sunday was an extremely lazy day, woke up at about 2 or 3 had lunch and just lazed around the whole day till dinner then went to jon peeris' place for a while and started our trip back.

It feels good to be back home. My own bed!! First thing once i got home was to get cleaned up and off to bed. Got up, did some laundry some work and then to a bbq. Now finally i have my relaxation time. I've got the rest of this week to relax then its back to classes and overload of work. Oh well, at least i have a few days left.

The trip up showed me some interesting things. First, they have signs on the wrong side of the road saying 'wrong way, turn around'...how stupid can they be?? Then secondly there's ' don't sleep and drive'.... now how the hell is that possible. Thats gonna take a bloody powerful sub-conscious! The in-breds never cease to amaze me. How stupid can people get?? i mean...seriously! I'd think you'd know you were going the wrong way when cars are moving towards you!! It's not bloody rocket science!! Stupid jackasses!! oh well...another day in the land of oz

Its been great

2005-09-28T21:54:00.000+08:00

Well the plan to get up early was a total flop. I got up at 12 and yet its still the earliest this week. Before i could even brush my teeth i went for a run. Disgusting i know but well it was supposed to be a rainy day so yea i wanted to run before the damn rain came. It was good. I've gotta find a new route! This one is starting to get boring and maybe i should think of increasing the distance too! Saw all the feast day pics. You all look good. Something caught mike's eye that i didn't even notice though. I didn't even know it was you. God damn it Chubbs!! How much bloody weight have you lost? You look extrememly tiny. I seriously didn't even know it was you in that pic. Mike suddenly shouted up to me telling me that you looked damn small. So i looked through the photos again then i realised it was you. How much weight exactly!? But i must say you do actually look pretty good now. Getting closer to a lean, mean fighting machine i guess. Good luck with that. Spent most of the afternoon making sandwiches, mostly because i don't trust the other guys with preparing food. We leave at 5 tomorro or so they say.. it remains to be seen. So this means i won't be blogging till next week.. probably on monday..

Warmth

2005-09-27T23:56:00.000+08:00

Today was great! No rain and it was so nice and warm. Got up late again then went for a run. It was, like usual, fantastic. With the warm weather it makes going for a run actually very nice. I enjoyed it immensely! Its been a real slow moving day. Its a day till our trip to melbourne and well i'm really looking forward to it. Nothing but relaxation for 4 days. The trip up should be really good. Sashi and prav constantly trying to irritate the shit out of each other should be the highlight of the trip. I don't even need to add anything to it! They'll be at each others necks the entire journey. I'll just add in by attacking the both of them. And i'll win! Tomorro i've decided i wanna get up early because these past 2 days have snailed by and well just really lethargic through them. Thank goodness i actually went for a run. So tomorro i've decided i'll get up early, go for a run then come back and start on a new cake..i've gotta do something to pass the time!!! This time it'll be a coffee and chocolate cake. Something i'm pretty sure mike will be crazy about.

Just came back from a friends place. We went over to wish her happy b'day. Her housemates dragged her out of bed just to cut her cake. Was hillarious!! She looked like she would just fall asleep anytime. So now its to decide how much clothes to bring up and i think i'm just gonna throw them into my bag. I'm too lazy to do my usual and fold them nicely. It's work and well i don't wanna do any for now!!

Boredom

2005-09-27T12:46:00.000+08:00

Two days into my break and guess what..i'm bored! Been enjoying the sleep though! Can't complain about that. I've been lazing around, downloading music, and the oc!! Its back! I must say that somwhow they still manage to fit in so much nonsense yet its enjoyable..that and mischa barton is still as hot as ever. Other than that i haven't been doing much at all. I think i'm gonna go for a run. The weather is finally looking good today so i better make use of it now before it starts raining and getting damn cold again. The sun looks too inviting for me to stay indoors and laze around. I haven't been for a run in about 2 weeks i think. Not good, i've been lazing too much and probably putting on weight again. I really need to find another hobby fast! Looks like i'll be baking many more cakes. Then again, considering i'm trying to watch my weight its not really that good an idea. The chocolate cake is gone! These bloody buggers here really whacked it damn fast. Now to try something mike would enjoy. Something with plenty coffee. Knowing that boy, if i make a cake with mushrooms and eggs he'd probably love it! Cooking for mike is extremely simple! Mushrooms and eggs and its done! Or just let him suffer for awhile with no food and he'll just eat anything! Even easier!!

We've been eating indian food non-stop for quite awhile now. Sashi brings back food for us from the restaurant he works at so yea. Not that we're complaining but well i didn't eat all that much indian food in s'pore and now i eat it almost everyday. The funny part is since we came here we always eat asian food. I think i should start my working out properly and well the first thing i need to do is watch what i eat! It's killing me! Its time to go back to proper workouts! The bloody prices to go to a damn gym here is killer too! God damn over-pricing, in-bred aussies. I could spend my entire time here and not be fond of them! It'll never happen. Ok i'm done bitching for now. I'll be back though. There was another damn shark attack here! The guy survived but well i don't think we'll be headed to any beaches to swim anytime soon. Stupid aussie environment!

Its a success

2005-09-25T22:08:00.000+08:00

Well whats the point of having a good oven if you're not gonna use it. Today i finally decided to try baking something and the first attempt..chocolate cake!! Called death by chocolate and i now realise why, the bloody amount of chocolate used to make it is amazing! Then again the final product is lovely. Check out the pics! Now doesn't that make u hungry. I'm so proud of myself. There was a little help from prav as well(to melt the chocolate and butter) but well its turned out fantastic. Now to start trying more of these things. Well i've got 2 weeks to play around with the oven and then its back to classes and no more free time.

I've really enjoyed the last few days. No work, just sleeping in and relaxing the entire day. Last night was another trip to red square where prav was piss drunk and we ended up carrying him out of the club, then to the car and then into the house. Then after all that we decided to go to gepps cross market to get whatever we needed. Then back home to sleep. Got up and then it was off again to but the stuff to bake the cake and well now its time to enjoy the cake..

It doesn't bloody end...

2005-09-20T22:31:00.000+08:00

Finally, week 10! Its the last week of the term and after this first 2 and a half months i realise i'm gonna be busy the whole year. Its a bloody bitch but this term has gone by amazingly quickly and well i'm really happy about the results. I'm just wondering how long i can keep this up. From not studying for 4 years to an immediate jump to non-stop study. Its been studying non-stop and well a shitload of reading and catching up but all is good. Hopefully it stays that way. I realise that even with the 2 week break i'm not gonna get much rest. With the amount of work i'm getting after these 2 days of the last week, i realise i'm gonna be just as busy or even busier during my break! Well i guess the trip up to melbourne is gonna be me doing work on the way there and back too. What a great way to spend my trip up. Gonna be so much fun.

Helped out in a friends band on saturday and well it was great, i'm an instant hit(expected i know) but well it went even better than expected. Got flowers, a funny gift and an offer to bring me home! haha.. Weird crazy girls they have here. Such a waste i didn't really think any of them were hot. Nice bodies though!! Well i'm actually looking forward to the next. As soon as the band can get organised and start practicing properly i'll get more into it. I found my source of release. Being up on that stage takes all the stress away. I love it.....

And they fly by

2005-09-15T22:05:00.000+08:00

The end of another long long day! Had 4 hours of physics today. Bloody boring crap! Half the time i was just trying to stay awake so i doubt anything really actually got into me. So once again its another weekend of trying to understand what i didn't get the first time around. Then again the bloody lecturer is a boring, mono-toned bugger so its not really my fault. After that it was off to jam with the guys i'm supposed to be performing with. Bro, their guitarist remind mike and me of you. He's retarted, noisy, always wants to get drunk and humps anything that walks so yea i guess the similarities are there. Well the jam was terribly horrible. These guys can't sit still long enough to practice one song and not even one of them was finished even close to good enough. The only good thing i can say about it is their bassist is fantastic. Stu, he plays parallel universe with ease bro. This guy really is good. He was the only one who seemed to actually want to practice the songs and get them right. The other two seemed to be more interested in just drinking beer and slacking. Idiots...

The weeks are really going by so quickly. A good thing but still i can't watch days go by. Its too damn fast. Even counting them in weeks seems to be fast. Well as long as the results keep coming i guess the time can go by as fast as it wants to! I'm pretty much happy with the term.

So far so good

2005-09-14T23:01:00.000+08:00

Well the results are in and well i'm pretty much really happy abt it. I've gotten back results for 2 of my subjects and well 84% and 88% are pretty good for the first tests. At least this term is good then. Now to look forward to my 2-week break(which i thought was 1) and then to a whole new term. Bloody hell.

Gonna be performing on saturday with one of my classmates band. Well these guys are weird. He keeps calling me and asking me to come over to his place to practice and well its quite annoying! Don't these people actually do work. I'm beginning to wonder. But well i will be going to practice with them tomorro and friday, then saturday is the day! Well its me so i know it'll be good. That and i do like the songs they wanna do! Hey bro, we're doing friday i'm in love-The Cure!! haha... So yea i'm looking forward to that but it also means i've got shitloads of work to finish and i'm gonna have to start finishing it!! fast!! I'm gonna go along with this band thing as long as i can. Once the work gets too much or well they just piss me off then its all over.

Results...

2005-09-13T22:45:00.000+08:00

Well its coming to the end of the term and it seems to be good so far. My EAP lecturer is being a bitch and refuses to give me 1 more mark to turn the distinction to a high distinction. What a bloody piece of shit. Did my SPM test last week and the results should be out tomorro and my MAS one was today. I seemed to know what i was doing but well i know i've said that before and ended up with horrible results. So i shall just hope for the best.

Somehow somebody got it all wrong when they said it was supposed to be getting warmer. It gets colder every damn day. Stupid weather. The outlook for the next few days sees the temperature getting colder all the way till next tuesday when it finally goes to a high of 20 degrees. It'll be about bloody time. Just when i thought it was the end of having to wear my damn jacket i have to start wearing it again.

Today's been pretty alright. Aside from the test which was way too long and we were given way too little time. The rest of the day went along well. I guess getting the results of EAP was a good morale boost too. At least i know something is going right. Came back home and went for a run again. I had a running buddy today. This dog that followed me. I actually circle back when i go for a run, so dog actually started following me when i first passed and stopped right back where it started. Was pretty cool!! I wanna get a damn dog. I still haven't done the assignments due next week so i'm guessing this weekend is gonna be another joyous one filled with me doing work. Oh joy!!! Well at least the break is coming. Finally a rest....

The weekend

2005-09-11T22:49:00.000+08:00

Well its come and gone. 5 days of waiting for it and its over in an instant. Lets see, early saturday morning we were off to the scrap yard to get parts for the car and then back home for me to get planted in my books and for mike to work on the car. Then came the annoyance of the day. The guys who wanted me to help them for their gig asked me to come over to one of their houses to jam a little and get in sync with one another. Well i did go and well only the two other members were there. And even better they're the 2 who live at the house! The band didn't show and well i'm getting annoyed with them. Well early this morning we headed to the Gepps cross market for our vegetables and all that kinda stuff. Was prett good actually. Then to pravin's place to help him with gardening. Already so bloody tired and disturbed by the annoying rain which seemed to be out to get us today. Everytime we went out to work it would rain and when we pack up and get in it'll start again. Damn bastard weather! but well the weekend has been alright. Now to start getting ready to count the next 5 days.

Finally

2005-09-09T21:48:00.000+08:00

The weekend is finally here at long last!! Its been a long week and well i think i have alot of sleep to catch up on. My eyes show that i haven't been sleeping well. Its hell with so many bloody assignments and well all due at about the same time. On the bright side though the weather is lovely. Its been a really nice warm day and i finally did go for my run. Hard to describe but it left me feeling so damn relaxed. I hope the weather stays like this, eventhough the damn forecast for tomorro is rainy and 16 degrees. I thought s'pore had weird temperature fluctuations!! This place makes the weather there seem predictable.

Today on the way home something made me realise how the people here are so willing to help and well just generally nice. There was this chinese lady who was boarding the bus and she had her kid in the pram. She was having trouble trying to get the child out then put him down and close up the pram to board the bus and the bus driver, not any of the passengers(mostly asians..annoying i know), got out to help her. Its little things like that that make me realise how much nicer life is here.

2 more weeks and i finally get a 1-week break. I think i need it. With all the work and assignments i could really do with a break and just some time to relax...properly! So its time to get a six-back of VB and to sit and bake in the sun. For now i'll be content with the evening runs.

Here comes the sun...

2005-09-08T21:03:00.000+08:00

After all the damn cold days i think the weather here is finally changing. Today was lovely!! Finally a day that was great to be walking around in. The temperature was abt 27 today i think. Yes, finally the weather is really getting nice. The only problem is being in direct sunlight burns. Just walking for 5 minutes i can feel the back of my neck burning. I wait so damn long for the warmth to set in and now i'm complaining about it. Sounds typically me doesn't it( i know someone will be smiling if she's reading this) but yea i like the warmth but why can't the temperature stay at about 24 or 25??!! that would be really really nice. But well i'm now expecting the worst for summer. Prepare for a whole lot of whining about how warm it is then when winter comes it'll be back to bitching about the cold.

My day has been the same as everyday. Had a longer day today though. 4 hours straight of physics and i lost my bet with one of my classmates. The bet was on who could stay awake through the whole thing. With just 15 minutes left i bloody fell asleep. Now thats a bitch. Well i'm actually catching up with my math which is really great. From barely scraping through i'm actually scoring for them, so now its just to keep it going. Things are looking good and i don't think anything could turn them around.

Dominoes..

2005-09-07T22:38:00.000+08:00

Today was good. I guess mostly due to the fact that i didn't get anymore assignments. The day went by pretty quickly and aside from my math lesson, with the teacher who seemed to be confusing himself at times, its been really good. After a long front of cold weather we finally got a really nice warm day today. I've never felt so comfortable walking around the place. I think its the closest i've ever come to perspiring here. I've got a test tomorro so once again i've spent this entire day studying and well i actually feel like i understand the stuff just a little better and i feel ready! i hope...

During my second class today i saw one of the most hillarious things i've seen in a long long time. Just before the class i walked pass this other class and noticed these 3 girls who kept watching me as i walked past and as i was going back to mine they were still doing that. So during my break i walked past the class again to get to the toilet and they were at the front of the class talking to the lecturer and once again they turned and just watched me walikg past. Then comes the hillarious part, as they just kept staring the one in front tripped over something on the floor and the 3 of them went tumbling down. Their lecturer turned, smiled and waved at me! i was already laughing so much.... At least i had a funny way to end my day in school.

The annoyance...

2005-09-06T23:09:00.000+08:00

Today has been good as well as a bloody bitch. I'd finally completed all my assignments and finally got down to just plain simple study then today i get thrown another 2 new ones. And with one of them its 7 bloody pages to read and really understand for a damn 1000 word essay. Now thats a bitch but oh well i think i'm getting accustomed to it. Now i just have to wait for the damn warmth so i can start going for runs again. Its too bloody cold right now. My mum has been sending me her slides that she used for her church camp and well it got me all reflective! bloody hell...thanks mum...make me feel even more guilt for missing church! haha.

Last night was probably my worst here. I couldn't sleep properly and kept getting woken up by something. I kept waking up at hour intervals and each time i did i kept scanning the room as if someone was here. Got me all freaked. My eyes now looked like i have insomnia!! Oh well....

Home made alcohols....

2005-09-04T22:54:00.000+08:00

The weekend has gona by so damn quickly. its been a good ont though, well most of it. Went for one of my classmates party at his house. Boring as hell but well a few beers did help make it a little better. Then we headed to pravin's friend's place! Where, like usual, i decided to drink way too much alcohol. The guy makes his own alcohol. He's got the distiller thing which is where all his money goes to! I think prav and i just about finished his home-brewed sembuca. The alcohol tastes almost exactly like the real thing, the down side i guess was when i got up this morning! i had the worst headache ever! Slept through most of the day. But i still did enjoy it immensely! And yes i will do it again! just not anytime soon. I think i have enough alcohol in me to last a few more weeks.

Disturbing TV

2005-09-03T00:11:00.000+08:00

Today has gone by pretty quicky. Only spent 2 hours in school today so that was a good thing! Then again, as usual, it was back home to do more work but i have made my work work load for this weekend significantly smaller and that means more time to sleep. Sleep would be a lovely thing right now. Handed in 2 assignments today, a rushed job actually, i don't really think i'll score very well for them but oh well. Its a whole lot warmer today.. thank goodness! i actually had to open all the windows in the house because it was colder in the house than outside.

Been getting long long emails from my mum and well tellling me the whole story of everything back there and how after receiving the invoice for my fees they're now eating grass. Was quite funny actually. I'm shocked, she's actually funny! and its not me being sarcastic like i usually am! Amazing, the things you learn once you leave. For this weekend i think i've only got 3 assignments to finish and i'll be done! maybe a little studying here and there and that'll be it. The one thing thats good and bad is that time seems to fly by when i'm here. I think its mostly cause i spend all my time doing work or in school so yea.

I still must say, the tv here is pretty good. Mike and i just watched the water boy and though i've watched it so many times i still found it hillarious. Then came one of the most disturbing things i've seen in a long long long time! There was an add on tv. One of those couple making agency thingy's and well it was for gays!! Oh my goodness! mike and i just looked at it and the moment it ended we both just burst out laughing. Aussie's are truely sick, crazy people. But well i've gotta live with it now for quite some time!

I think my hair is getting long..................

2005-09-03T00:02:00.000+08:00

Bloody shambles!

2005-09-01T22:28:00.000+08:00

After a nice warm day yesterday i decided that well finally winter is done and the warm days are coming! This morning i woke up to the shining sun,absolutely lovely. Had a shower and wore my jeans and a t-shirt. No sweater, no jacket! So everything is going well as i get to my first class. Then as i'm leaving i see the damn locals standing by the door of the block pulling out their jackets and refusing to step out till they do! So being the hero i am i walked out and oh my god!! I think it took me just about 5 seconds to start shivering!

Just a few tips...
1)When aussie's say winter is ending...don't believe the damn in-bred buggers! It means its still gonna be cold.
2)When you see all the locals come out with jackets, go get yours!
3)Everytime you see a chinese guy, don't worry they're everywhere. Slowly but surely they're taking over the world!!

My day was suddenly made alot brighter! Thanks!! You know who you are! thats all that needs to be said...

The last day of winter!

2005-08-31T21:24:00.000+08:00

It's been a bloody boring day, the fact that it's supposed to be the last day of winter was supposed to be a good thing but it's bloody freezing today. The sun was lovely this morning but the air is fucking cold. It's quarter to 11 now and its really bloody freezing! 2 assignments done and well just got another to ad to the pile. Now it's 4 assignments with the last being due this monday! Now that's a bitch.

School is as usual boring as ever.. Gotta find something to keep me entertained, aside from mike hopping around when he's cold that is. All this work is turning me into a bloody dull person. Got some party this saturday, some indo guy from one of my lectures, a real weirdo and pretty much a poser but well at least its someone to talk to! House party, free bbq and beers! who could ask for anything else. Still, i've got plenty of work to finish up during the day then.

Today just as came out of school and was walking past this bus stop i ran into someone i spoke to quite some time ago,this old german lady who's been staying here for the past 40 years! Well she saw me and immediatly said hi. The last,and only, time i've spoken to her was about a month ago and she remembers my name, what i'm doing and all we talked about the last time..She was talking to me about racism! it was an eye opener. What seemed like just a passing conversation on a particular day meant nothing to me but to her it was a lovely conversation and she remembered me and all my comments! Even i can't remember them. Had another lovely conversation with her and waited till she got on the bus and walked to go catch mine....

Hail!!!

2005-08-30T23:37:00.000+08:00

Its been another normal, boring day and nothing real interesting to tell but there's hail. I know..not exactly something to be happy about but its quite funny when your friend leaves his car parked outside then worries about the paint job!! quite a nice car too! toyota soarer! Makkal...its something u should go check on. The routine here is starting to bother me! boring ass days and well heaps of work to come home to. Oh joy!!!

Last night before i fell asleep i came up with a tune and i was filling it with words and i woke up this morning completely forgetting the whole thing. Bloody hell, i've gotta start leaving paper beside my bed! Oh well, the guitar is still enough for my boredom and work seems to fill every other waking moment. What a life!!

2005-08-29T21:50:00.000+08:00

Went to the Adelaide Botanical Gardens today with part of my class! Was one of the most annoying experiences since coming here. The lecturer is hillarious though, kept explaining to me all the damn trees and flowers till i told him i don't give a shit! Then he just looks at me and calls me bastard, saying that i should have told him earlier so he wouldn't have had to act like he was happy to explain all these things to me. Latvian dude!

Then it was back home to work again but well didn't really do all that much, i was too damn lazy! Pravin came over and we went for a buffet at some funny diner with alot of annoying, loud people. Oh well, damn aussie's....crazy, loud, in-bred monkeys...thats my fill for the day!!

Sleep...

2005-08-28T23:05:00.000+08:00

An entertaining day! thats about all i can say abt it! i didn't wake up this morning as expected.Mike got up after pravin came and knocked the shit out of the window downstairs and they both headed to the market..all they got was a couch! useless bloody bums. A market full of stuff and thats all they could get. I guess i should've known not to let them go without me but yea i was just too lazy and the bed suddenly seemed so comfortable. Well anyway when i finally got up, which was around 11, went staraight to the books again. Amazing i know and a bloody drag as well! was doing work till abt 3 or so then had a shower and went to a temple! hahaha.. it was pretty alright actually. Aside from the fact that it was amazingly long-winded and that i didn't understand just abt everything going on. We went to watch pravin sing! which was pretty good i must add...

Then comes the highlight of the evening...Mike decides to start falling asleep! It was the leaning tower right beside me! At first i thought i'd be nice and keep waking him once he bends to low but i realised that it would be bloody hilarious if he actually fell off the chair so i left him! Failed attempt though, he actully got up awhile later. After the whole session was the food! oh my goodness it was fantastic! Vegetarian but lovely anyway. That plus i got a recipe for some funny chocolate thing that was damn good! So i'm gonna try making that soon... Good luck Mike!!!

It all ended at abt half past 8 so we went to catch a movie. Wedding crashers!! I must say i expected a whole lot more from Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. It wasn't all that funny. But it was alright i guess! the space in the cinema is lovely! i actually have trouble reaching the seat in front of me! i'm not all that tall but still!! I think mike was the happy one. He finally gets to watch a movie and not be so cramped!

Damn Panzee...

Here comes the sun

2005-08-27T22:00:00.000+08:00

Well as promised i'm blogging again! Having the net up is such fun..now there's actually something to do once i get bored.Woke up feeling rather horrid this morning,i shall not go into detail why but yea felt horrible this morning but it sorta got better in the morning..i hope! Mike got up rather cheery.Came down and asked me if we were going grocery shopping.So it was off to central market.Well not our usual 'buy everything' mode but we got eggs and some brocolli and that was it.Then did our laundry and well it was back to work for me! but i am very happy because i actually managed to finish up more than i had planned to! now its just less work for tomorro but a shitload of studying! i guess its a good thing, now i have more time to study!!

The one thing i must say is really good is the tv shows on the weekends. Every weekend i actually wanna be home in the evening just so i can watch the shows.Little nicky just ended and well the show is incredibly stupid but hillarious anyway! Tomorro morning we're getting up before the sun and headed to Gepps cross market.Apparently there's plenty of cheap stuff there..best part is it has everything! whatever you're looking for they'll have! so its gonna be hell to have to wake up so bloody early but oh well..at least i know i'll have an early start to studying!!!

Its getting warmer!! weather forecast for tomorro is a high of 24! thank goodness.......

Then there was internet...

2005-08-27T00:58:00.000+08:00

Its been a long time! even longer than usual but now i'm back and for good! the internet is finally up and running after the many many complications.Then just as it gets settled mike's laptop dies on him! its bloody hillarious!I've been so caught up in work the past few days, its been horrible..the moment i get home i do work for a good 3 hours then sleep and get up to more the following day but the sick cycle is slowly forming its routine and i'm getting used to it!Well stu and richie,u guys never cease to amaze with your sick ideas and even funnier confessions!

I decided to get a mobile line here because well its much cheaper and with the network i got, i need a 3G phone and so that brings me to my new phone! nokia 6680! i love the damn thing! its bloody marvellous! i've been playing with the damn thing since i got it and i'm still not getting bored! now thats something new! The cold days are finally going away,slowly but i really hope surely! now the temp is staying at a nice 16 to 18 so i'm pretty much happy right now! so that means i can start going for runs again! i thought the temp was alright last week and decided to go for a run! the moment i stopped my legs immediatly cramped up! it was quite funny actually! as i'm cooling down i'm actually getting cramps all over my legs!

So many thoughts run through my mind.All the time! In s'pore it was easy, i just go for a run and push it all away.Well the running isn't the solace anymore so now its off to find a new place. Well lets see if work can fill the empty space.maybe it could but for how long...i'll be waiting...

2005-07-15T16:43:00.000+08:00

I know I promised to write more and well I’ve finally gotten down to it. Its my first blog from the land of oz so here goes…

Well its day 3 in Adelaide. First day went by pretty fast! Thank goodness for that. The only thing is its cold…real cold! We’ve actually found a place already and all that’s left for tomorrow morning for us to settle the paperwork then move in over the weekend! Then its time for the studying to begin! Oh boy…it’s been 4 years.

The one thing though that really has changed this trip is that my dad and I are not only living together peacefully but that we’re getting along really well. After spending all this time here together we’ve gotten really close. It’s a good thing. My dad and I have never been like this ever! We can’t even have normal conversations. We’re bound to end up arguing.. See something good can come out of anything…

Today was hilarious! We walked into this camping/sports store just to check it out and well I found a beanie cause my ears are damn cold and well I like beanies!! my dad comes to me and says it would be a good idea for him to get one cause its always raining and tried one on! I’m still cursing at mike for not bringing down the camera! After I started laughing my dad took it off and said I look like a cartoon right! It was hilarious! If only I’d gotten a photo of it! I know there are at least 10 people back home who would pay to see that photo!

It’s day 3 now and after 2 long days with little to no progress we’ve gotten our place! It’s in the suburbs and well about a 20 min bus ride for both of us to our respective campuses. Plus its what they call a ‘go zone’ so the waiting time is 15 minutes max! I like this place its big, it’s a nice quiet neighborhood and its accessible for both of us! Kind of expensive but well it’ll do! Went to get furniture and I actually think I’ve made my dad broke! But the surprising part is I look for the cheapest stuff and he always recommends the more expensive stuff. It’s pretty cool…got our accounts settled too at national bank! So everything is set. Now its just till my dad and mike’s aunt leave and we’re left to ourselves…I’m so excited yet really worried too!

My time has come….till I see you all next…

I'm leaving on a jet plane

2005-07-12T14:10:00.000+08:00

Well the time has come and i'm ready yet i'm not..if u get what i'm saying! all my bags are packed and i'm ready but i still have so much left here that i don't wanna leave! its my last day and there's some things i need to say to some but i don't want to!

Now comes the ultra emo stuff... bro i hope u read this! you know we've had alot of times that no one could ever imagine! you've been there for me through everything and i'd like to think i've done the same for you! but avoiding me hasn't made anything easier!! just know i'll never forget where i came from and that you're still in mind and heart! no matter how much u try to avoid me! change is good bro u told me that! its time to stop bumming and make something of myself!!

So FAREWELL...

4 days to go..

2005-07-08T11:14:00.000+08:00

4 more days..each day i grow more excited but as it draws nearer the dread of seeing the faces on tuesday morning also gets to an all-time high! i think the thought of seeing sad faces on tuesday kind of neutralises the excitement of leaving. In particular seeing my sisters sad face on tuesday is gonna tear a hole right through me! If there was one reason in particular for me to not wanna leave it would be to stay to watch her! so you know that Tess!!! You better not let me down!!

Met up with richie & mike in gardens last night for supper and coffee and well it was interesting.Rich and i were talking abt how we all had plans before about how we'd all go up to study together and how now everything is different from what we all had planned back then.Well it should be for the better. At least i'm lucky and i've got mike with me for 2 years! You're gonna be pulling your hair out mike! ppl can't live with me for minutes and you've got 2 years! guns aren't legal there!! hahaha

But well its gonna be so hard to leave but its all good! I'll be back more mature and having done something with myself.Its a whole new world and i'm ready to go..

I'm back!

2005-07-06T12:11:00.000+08:00

Its been a long long time since i've written anything so its about time i started again.Well its 6 days till i leave so excuse the emo crap and all!! then again there's nothing much to write about.. i haven't packed anything and my mum and d.d(maid) have been packing stuff for me and ofcourse my dad being the person he is keeps on scolding them for trying to pack half the house for me! they're actually packing pots and pans and all for me! its quite funny! my mum says that she expects me to be a jamie oliver by the time she comes up to visit me! i'm supposed to know where to get the best stuff! crazy ass!!

Now all the mixed emotions kick in! i'm really looking forward to leaving and starting to study again but on the other hand i don't wanna leave! its gonna be so bloody hard to walk off on tuesday! its gonna be hell! so all of you who read this,NO BLOODY TEARS!!! yes i mean you niz and donn especially!!goodbye doesn't mean forever! i'm going to study i'm not dying!!

Cause my baby goodbye doesn't mean forever,
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again,
If you wake up and i'm not there I won't be long away
Cause the things you do my goodbye girl
Will bring me back to you.
-David Gates

And finally..

2005-04-29T12:08:00.000+08:00

Life's pretty alright now,aside from the constant pounding from the back of my mind telling me a big change is about to arrive,a welcomed one at first glance but well now the reality is hitting me and well i don't know if i'm really ready! It plagues me now as i try to sleep! Clearing leave isn't all its put out to be! boredom now takes over to an all new high! but well its better than being in camp with nothing at all to do... been spending most of my time at the Stephen home! a whole lot of laughs and well those to make life a whole lot brighter! i actually feel like we're brothers..good thing or not,its still a whole lot of fun! their dad actually had a pet monkey! so fun! but the stupid bugger hung itself to death!! the joyous life of a kampung!! i wanna run around not caring about anything and well just be happy!I've been running alot lately....bro i totally agree that running is the best solace!! it takes my mind off everything and just leaves me feeling totally free! at least i have that escape!

I've finally made up my mind that i am gonna do engineering.for reasons i'd rather not disclose here but if you know me you'll know the reason but well i actually do have an interest in the subject but maybe its just the typical me.. never having my mind made up on things and maybe just fear of having to go through with it! but i will have to this time and i'm not getting any younger! mike is a quarter century today!!! haha..congrats old man,i think!! till next time.... bro we need to talk!! hahaha i mean stu.....

A good deed goes a long way...

2005-04-14T21:02:00.000+08:00

Today has been interesting!i'm finally working on getting my sleeping time back to normal and well so far it's been working..in the past 2 days i've slept by 10 and well been waking up real early!!half past 6 to go for a run! its pretty nice!really refreshing,perfect way to start the day!well back to today,lucky for me i actually got up early so i woke stu and daryl up!! damn jackasses!! all the way to town and what do the idiots wanna have?? kaya toast! what a bloody annoyance.oh well i bought the bridge for the electric guitar and bloody fitting it took more than an hour! but it was all worth it!we jammed and well we're getting there! interstate love song sounded pretty good! this was all at stu's place and after that the bloody geniuses want to go back to town to play pool!the only good part was we've had very interesting cab rides! well after pool the two jackasses leave me and well i had to resort to coming home with nizzy,bel and joyce! oh my goodness those 3 really need help!then the highlight of the day,or actually i shouldn't call it that was still to come..

As we were walking to the bus stop at the junction of upper serangoon road and the road at serangoon interchange this rider(who had the right of way) jammed his brakes as this idiot driver cut into his path.the dude fell,and well don't really know why but i actually went to help! well the whole point of the story is it felt really good when the guy looked at me and said thanks! felt great actually......

Fairies do exist!!!

2005-04-04T03:34:00.000+08:00

Well being out of camp so much is good as well as bad! i've been out so much that not only am i spending money so much but also running out of things to do.i've gotta come up with something new to do!i'm thinking of learning a new language?? well that just explains the boredom.well tomorro is poly visiting time,gotta go start enrolling in them! its abt 2 months till ord and nothing planned.you'd think after this long i would've at least settled a plan but well i'm still at a blank! oh well hopefully it'll be better tomorro!

Maybe its time for me to start getting my sleeping time back in order too!now the routine is for me to be sleeping thru the day all the time.maybe i should start writing songs again!! i might come up with something good! only thing is stu wants emo songs and its annoying to write emo songs! whats wrong wth that pony-tailed boy?! no offence bro!

What day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
i can't keep up and i can't back down
i've been losing so much time

cause its you and me and all other people
with nothing to do,nothing to lose
and its you and me and all other people
and i don't know why i can't keep my eyes off of you.

lifehouse-you and me
its a really good song! go get it!

2005-03-30T01:30:00.000+08:00

I'm finally in camp again and i'm re-learning how to get bored! i can't bloody sleep now and its killing me..been lying on my bed for the past hour and well no luck.Its the first time being in camp for more than just a day in abt well..a month and a half and its killing me! i can officially start counting down to when i don't have to come back to this God-forsaken shithole!i start clearing my leave on may 2nd but i'll only be in camp for abt another 10 days! i like it alot!!but well these 10 days are gonna be the longest days ever.lets re-cap all the things i've done since coming back to camp on monday morning....i slept at 9 on monday morning,woke up at 5 then went for a run,had a shower then watched star wars! came online for abit then back to bed at 11 and here's the good one,woke up at 5 this evening!!!!!thats 18 hours of sleep! even i got a shock but i shall continue..went for a run again,got back.played pool for awhile then tried to go to sleep again and well totally unsuccesful! i need sleeping pills! oh well i get out tomorro till next wednesday! i guess i'll just have to look to the bright side of things!!! hahaha...ciao..

It's been awhile..

2005-03-06T15:22:00.000+08:00

Well almost a month since my last update so well its abt time!Life's been at a standstill recently..nothing new and the same old boring yesterday to re-live day after day,i wonder is there really a use in waking up day after day if the only thing to look forward to is to fall asleep again! my quiet place.well other than dave's b'day last week and the shocking news immediatly after i think there'd be just about nothing in my life right now!well there's always meeting mike for the manditory late night supper or tea..no coffee man but its anly 20 odd days till thats over!other than that i spend most of the days out just lazing around at home or well,sleeping!

Its funny how duane and ans can still pick the loveliest of timings to call me when i'm in camp! duane,you've somehow gotten ans' disease of calling me at the wrong time..all the time! but its good! after a stressful day its always good to hear a familiar caring voice..

Time here is running out so once again its time to weigh out my options!not really much to choose from but it looks like i'm sticking to going back to poly!! i don't think i'm really ready to go overseas to study on my own!no rules,no figures of authority..my paradise but well its not exactly a good idea to be wasting my parents money and not getting anywhere! at least with poly i get 3 years to get myself in the mood to study properly again! lots of practice time! this time no more nonsense! well i'm taking vincent's advice of going back to poly!!

Its slightly more than 3 months to ord and well its about bloody time.time to stop the constant retardation of my mind!! one thing is for sure,i've got a long way to go to getting back to being able to study...praying would help!

Its been awhile

2005-02-14T20:44:00.000+08:00

Well i'm back! its been awhile since i last entered anything and well its camp and boredom so yea..been pretty good the last few days.was at acid bar with stu,mike,duane and ans and well there came our lent sacrifices!haha.nothing really notable to actually put up so yea i just won't! valentines day and i'm stuck in camp! lovely but well i'm not gonna have to be in here very much longer so thats a good thing!

2005-02-01T22:45:00.000+08:00

Well i'm back! its been interesting these past few days and well yea been bothered too!Had a very interesting talk with my mom last week,well more like an argument but yea its just been bothering me since.she called to ask me to tell my sis something since she couldn't contact her(mom was the one who took her phone away) then starts losing her temper and shouting at me on the phone!! well i'm fine with it,used to it actually but it gets a little annoying when its the same story,different day kinda thing so well i kinda lost it and yea it wasn't pretty.thank goodness i knew when to stop myself and just did...AND another thing thats been bothering me recently...

Is favouritism something that really happens in families??i refuse to believe that a parent can love a child more than another!!how is that even possible?AND...is it harder to be the first child?or the first male or female in the family?does being the first male or female automatically make you the test dummies for your parents to see if their doing things right and well if not there's the next kid to try it on and hope they've improved! i don't really think any parent could possibly ever do that but well not everything i want to believe or do believe is true!!! i still believe hot twins are gonna walk right up to my bedroom completely butt naked,but thats a different story altogether..back to the subject...yea it wouldn't mean much to me but when i see it happening with my own eyes it gets worrying.in a family where everything seems so perfect!where things actually are most of the time there an annoying secret and well i think i stumbled upon it!sometimes i really wonder how it could actually happen and well it disgusts me actually..i'm so irritated by it..

all i can say is even though i'm not there very often..

i'll be there for you(when the rain starts to fall)
i'll be there for you(like i've been there before)
i'll be there for you(cause YOU'D BE THERE FOR ME TOO!!!!)

HELLO KEVVY!

Today has been a long and really full day!first there's weird stuff to do in the morning then just after noon my pc(wanker) decides that he wants to go check on a so-called small hole in the fence!turns out to be a bloody opening an elephant wouldn't have trouble fitting into!after that we decide to walk back from there to check the fenceline!i haven't spent this much time in the sun in a long long time.then i get back sit down and immediatly start dozing off...barely 5 mins and its a P1 activation! damn bastards.and after that it was back to the site of the elephant hole in the fence!spent another 2 hours there to cover up the bloody thing temporarily..so much for my slacking!well there's still tomorro!and jon if you read this,i forgot to bring the cd into camp!haha..

Its another weekend in camp...oh joy!!i've been here for slightly more than a day and already i can't wait for monday.Even knowing i probably won't be doing anything on monday it still gives me comfort knowing i'll be outta' here!well wednesday was a typical lazy day!got back from camp and decided to take a nap,well it became a very long nap cause i woke up and it was dark! haha..met mike and shannon at serangoon north for coffee then over to my place to play guitars till abt 7 in the morning! was really fun for those of you who think 3 guys just sitting around playing guitars till morning is a drag!the sound that you can create playing a 12-string,acoustic and a classical guitar is lovely..the songs we played,lovely,and some i haven't heard in a long long time!! falling asleep that night,or morning,was easy.next thing i knew it was 4 in the evening!Went for dinner at seoul garden at taka.Punctuality is by far the most inadequate characteristic in most peoples lives!from a 6.30 meeting time it was only jon and i there till about 7.15!! then again from 16 people to 5 people there its pretty funny!straight to double o after for another pretty boring night!met my cousin's ex-girlfriends sister there!haven't seen her in a long time but i still remember her as the annoying girl who threw her slipper,which was more like a clog right at my head!!went to have coffee with mike after we left the place then back in to camp where i was trying to sleep but got woken up first by the annoying chatter and even worse the bloody annoying chinese songs they were playing! sounded like circus music and to make it even worse,chinese singing with it!! then my pc decides to come wake me up all the time! i wanna start lashing out irrationally!maybe then they'll let me sleep in peace..got up at 8 this morning and well been slacking off the whole time! finally brought one of my guitars into camp so that does help a little but i think i'm gonna bring it home!too many people wanting to borrow it!well its just one more day!! i can do this!!

Another weekend gone by..and thinking abt it if i just count,i'll only be in camp for abt another 7 weekends! it seems so close now but it makes it all the more excruciating! to be able to smell it yet know its still not within reaching distance! bloody annoyance! friday was interesting! the mass for the tsunami mass was good,looking at the slides showing in church was relly the worst part of it! all the carnage! the lost lives,homes,families! it makes you feel so happy to be safe yet so sorry for those who have lost their lives! not to mention the others who now have to carry on living without their loved ones! i would rather have died if i were in their situation.ronald's place after was a bore to me but well talked to nie,dave and nizzy for the most of it! saturday..started like a typical lazy day for me then to abby's! it was a pretty good time! the cake all over the place! dave and nie getting it on everywhere! haha..and united won! haven't seen the game or the highlights of it but its good!! sent my sister home cause our mum wanted her home early!things seem to be better now with her coming for choir with me! she seems alot happier and thats good! sunday! haha...woke up on time then my stomach decides to play games with me! within the first 2 hours of being awake i went to the toilet 4 times! not funny..i kid you not! but it was a little better by lunch time! met chubbs and playes villiards then back to his place and now i'm home! what a boring life eh! haha..well happy b'day once again to ronald,abbs and nizzy!

Well another interesting visit to gardens! talked to duane then went to see dez and uncle martin at chomps! colby is really a cute kid..but through the conversations we had..abby,dez,duane and i,i actually do realise something! i've actually i got everything i want! i've got a sister that i love way too much,a pest all my life but a lovely girl and someone i would wanna be around all the time! i've got an unofficial goddaughter(i'm still waiting for your confirmation!!) that i love a hell of a lot! and well i've got mybro stu who is somehow always around whenever i need him to be and well i've got my friends who are more like older brothers always watching over me! what the hell more could i ask for?? Stu,duane,nie,Mike,ans! i always have u all around & i do appreciate it! there's nothing more i could want or is there?? haha..but yea i'm content with what i have and who cares if it stays that way!! bite me!!

2005-01-03T21:49:00.000+08:00

Every single time I see you I start to feel this way
It makes me wonder if I'm ever gonna feel this way again
There's a picture that's hanging at the back of my head
I see it over and over

I want to hold you and love you in my arms and then
I want to need you 'cause I need to be with you 'til the end
Then I hear myself reply you've got to hold it in
This time tonight

If only I had the guts to feel this way
And if only you'd look at me and want to stay
And if only I'd take you in my arms and say
I won't go 'cause I need you.

nice words! its by hanson!!!!haha

Joy??

2005-01-03T21:44:00.000+08:00

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
These four walls are closin' more every day
and I'm dying inside
and nobody knows it but me
like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
and I'm cryin' inside
and nobody knows it but me

Why didn't I say
the things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just a tumblin' down
I can say it so clearly
but you're nowhere around

The nights are lonely, and the days are so sad
and I just keep thinkin' 'bout the love that we had
and I'm missin' you
and nobody knows it but me

just heard it on the radio for the first time! so many damn memories of this song!!! if u haven't heard it...GET IT!!!

O sleepless night!!

2004-12-17T05:23:00.000+08:00

Well its coming to the end of 2 days in camp..well almost!!thanks mike!the get away was fantastic!got pretty bored after the whole day in camp today i felt really bored and came online and mike was here too so yea went for supper at macpherson well just coffee actually which would also explain why i'm not on duty and still wide awake at this bloody unearthly hour!its been a rather boring day.had to do model answers for a test then to read up on some stuff to teach my guys for our static training tomorro,really boring stuff but the day passes!slowly but surely!went for a run and met the new privates that have been posted here!pushed a guy to pass his 2.4km and left myself feeling pretty good at being able to motivate a guy so easily.the bloody lecture tomorro will be a bitch especially cause i'm probably not gonna sleep(i've given up on trying so yea).either something is troubling my mind or 4 coffee's is a little too much,haha,i'm going with the latter!started reading the new book i bought yesterday and finished it today!wanna buy a new book?? get the 5 people you meet in heaven by mitch albom!its a pretty enlightening story about a guy who dies and meets people in heaven that affected him or he affected in his life!really easy reading and at times touching too!it shows on how even when you feel there's no meaning to you in mundane,everyday occurences,it could matter alot to another person!a simple good morning to someone could actually get a persons day going or how a goodnight could mean everything to a person who has had the worst day imaginable!oh well time to find something to do.....

Thoughts

2004-12-14T23:50:00.000+08:00

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.Afools belief to some but well i'm beginning to actually believe it! its like when u don't drink for months and on an occasion you have a bit and actually enjoy yourself,its like not smoking for the day then the next puff somehow becomes great.i guess it is true but i wonder...so if i'm away from friends and family for awhile does it mean its better? if i just decide to see them like once a week or something is it a better thing? i don't get that part of it! stu is back finally!! went to play at a LAN shop today!a little unbelievable but yea it was fun! chubbs is a damn cow! but it was all good..then to stu's place to play carrom! simple stuff yet an extremely enjoyable day! pity i'm just too bloody tired and well its back to camp tomorro so i actually am planning to get some sleep! now that my decision to cut down my alcohol consumption drastically has actually payed off and i'm actually much happier about it..its time to cut down on the smoking and well maybe stop altogether! i know there's a grin on duane's face if he's reading this but yea its time to start on that! oh yea and i heard about the progress of the fighting donuts! congrats guys! till next time.......

Sleep!!

2004-11-27T23:33:00.000+08:00

I think i've slept the most i have ever done these past 2 days in camp!i was awake for most of yesterday and today i decided to sleep through just about the whole day.. its been so bloody boring!stu left today and i didn't get to go see him off or to go meet him before he left so that was a bummer!the other bloody ps decided to take leave and not tell me about it so i couldn't leave! now i can't sleep and i'm so bloody bored..well everyone is at dave's i'm pretty sure!hope you all have fun bastards!how is it that everytime anything is planned i'll be in camp!well done assholes!oh well entertainment is the most difficult thing to come by here! good news though!i managed to find a guy who is being confined and has a guitar!i've spent the most of the past 2 hours playing and singing but still i can't find any reprieve from the boredom!well sleep seems to help!but i feel even more tireed after so i'm gonna try my best to refrain from it.. you know the liverpool theme song(the one in the church hymn book)??...the one titled you'll never walk alone!? well i beg to differ!!!!

Disappointment?!

2004-11-22T20:32:00.000+08:00

Well another weekend out but still something missing! started off on a very good note..met nie at her place on friday morning for breakfast,the best things are free or at the cost of a loaf of bread!breakfast was great! simple! saturday was alright! went for the training but my bloody flu is pissing me off like crazy..hung out with duane and vince at duane's place! watched hanson unplugged and harold and kumar go to white castle! a good day all in all then came sunday! as much as i try looking forward to it,somehow i can't anymore! everything is different..i like the old school choir the new one ain't the same!like u said bro!i used to look forward to being there but now well...sometimes.if not for the company of a few people..well i really don't know!

2004-11-17T23:42:00.000+08:00

Boredom! oh boy! another boring day in camp!uneventful to say the least.sometimes i wonder why bother having so many people on duty when a dog on the run way is the closest to excitement anyone comes across..is there really a need to? i do wonder!!well i have really nothing to say today!i'm bored and there's nothing i do here thats worth talking about!!

Bewilderment?

2004-11-16T20:03:00.000+08:00
