decided that i am not going to blog my holidays here because i blogged in my own blog and i kind of decided that i shall not double blog or it will only make me look like an idiot. so i am not only free person around with nobody to go out with and nothing to do. i do read books, go online and slack around but that it not going to be very nice for the next 2 months. i really don't like the idea of slacking my life away this way but i also have doubts that i will be able to get a job with the ugly marks on my hands and legs. the reason for the marks are the stupid sandflies that have bitten me all over. i am really getting irritated with all the itchiness that i have been experiencing the past week. waking up every night to scratch my legs is making my temper shorter and shorter by the minute! so, anybody have any remedy to cure sandfly bites please tag. i am going to die of the itchiness and i am serious. i can't endure one month of itchiness. i CAN'T.
anybody who has the same kind of life please tag too or am i really the only one who is wasting my life away? omg.... i don't have time to do nothing and i am getting dead bored!!!!

Yo man, its me again. If u havent already noe, i was in aust for the past four days, and this will be a blog on that, w/o the pics first, on the things i saw and did there. So bear wif me while i blabber abt this, if u have been there doen that.

Oh okie where in the heck did i went in aust? One of the cities in victoria, melbourne. Man, i love that place man, damn shiok! Esp now since it was late autumn early winter, shiok weather.

So i have to address the question set by seng. Wat the hell was I doing in melbourne?

It was a half sponsored trip frm me company. Which means that they merely pay for the air tickets and the hotel for me. Interestingly, breakfast came free as well, think u noe why. The rest of the expenses, self incurred. A company leisure trip, btw.

So i will being frm the beginning. We took a flight, BA, to melbourne. Flight was 6 hrs, interestly, more then half the flight, it was flying frm darwin(northwest aust) to melbourne(southeast aust). So i picture aust was damn big, cause it didnt really take us long to fly frm sing to the first sight of aust.

Some of u might noe this is my first time in a flying plane. I said flying cause i used to wash the interiors of planes when i was working once. It wasnt anything special, didnt vomit, but since its EY, the seats was damn cramp, so cramp that i smell my own fart if i fart(and some other poor souls).

So the view was nice on the plane, wif their small mirrors. There will be this phase when the plane fly in between the clouds and u can see u being sandwiched in between, but still make out a piece of the blue sky inbetween. Shiok, feels like u are in heaven. Hahahaha but no one states heaven in among the clouds and even if the new testament says so, i have been there and see no heaven.

And so we touch down. At the airport. It was after midnight and when u talk, u breath steam. Not that i never encounter this before, but the point is that is was damn cold. Freezing but there isnt snow yet. Not that i noe it will snow there.

So we travels to the hotels. Interesting, highway wasnt lighted. U rely on ur headlights, and there are no high rises in melbourne, so u feel alone in this piece of blacken land, if u think u can see stars, throughout my 4 days there, the sky was damn cloudy, damn damn cloudy. But i reckon night sky will be better than tekong. U noe whenever it was night, u can see a orangey glow in the sky just above the horizon? That was reflection of the lights on ground frm the clouds. The thing about aust is u can see nothing of this sort, so the night sky will be damn shiok.

Another thing is there are a heck lot of big banners along the highway. Those type u saw on top of buildings in US. Thing is singapore dont have these. And some of them are real funny. Like one on drink driving. "Just a little bit off? You bloody idiot!" Hahahaha cracks me up.

So we reach the hotel late in the night. The hotel was in the middle of the city, straight across a XXX shop(why i added this piece of info, i dont noe). And the rooms was damn small. Damn small...

So being tourist that just reached, we went around the city, which sleeps rather early, and walk around to see its life. The onli thing i realise is thatthe amount of eaterys and 7 11s they have. And for places wif alfresco seattings, they have this clear plastic patitions that bears their restarants' name set on the walkways, think is to block the wind and provide some protection in cases where cars come up the curb.

So the place looks like orchad road, but closer together, more concentrated, lesser lanes on the roads, more signboards, shorter buildings, with trams running around. I like! The next funny thing i realise was the traffic lights. U noe how traffic lights flashes green man when u are suppose to cross? And how it blink when they want u to cross faster if u r still crossing and to stop crossing if u havent already done so? Over here, they blink the red man! Hahaha so when u r at the traffic lights, it hits u its red and nobody dares to cross, and ppl in the middle of the road runs to the other end. I like it this way! hahahaha.

Another thing i realise is the natives there never jay walk, exclude their youths, ppl who jaywalk are all asians. Sad... Not that i wanna discriminate. We "Sia suay" ourselves.

Man, this entry got a bit long, i will continue the rest of it next time. See ya.

16.5.05

it's been about 6 days since this blog is updated so i shall update once in a while. actually, i will be going off to china while banedon will be going off to australia so if i didn't update today, the blog will be likely to be left blank for another week.

i just found out that hk's disneyland has not opened yet and only subjected to bookings. was feeling a momentary sadness since i was looking forward to see it. it's NEW that's why i want to see it. but another reason of why i wanted to be there is because it was sort of like a childhood dream for me personally. even though i am already 20 this year, i still want to fulfil my childhood dream. it is a kind of satisfaction for me to achieve that even though i am not a child anymore, even though i don't get fascinated by disney characters anymore. (when was i fascinated with them in the first place? beats me...) so i think i will only be able to go there next year or so. who wants to go with me can just write on tagboard and preferably know where to go in hk. heehee.... just kidding...

something else that i found out from my friends was that they have childhood friends or otherwise known as imaginary friends. do you all have one too? due to my ignorance of what is an imaginary friend, i asked her for what is a imaginary friend. she told me that she must be kind, friendly and good hearted. the perfect friend....

if i could choose, i would want to have such a friend but reality always stings and it is impossible to find one. maybe it's just singapore where interest always comes as the top priority, grades are the goal for all and being rationale is a must. it is a survival of the fittest arena, the darwin's evolution theory (mm lee mentioned it after independance) even when marriage is concern, people choose practicality over pure love. there are always exceptions but it is too rare to be mentioned anymore. who wants to have an ugly girlfriend? who don't want a bradd pitt? who don't want the perfect figure partner? who wants someone who is stupid? someone told me it's the chemistry between two but i would render that person as being a hypocrite because from what i know, chemistry is not the only factor that brings people together. do chemistry die down after a while? yes, i would say. to keep the chemistry going, i believe that both have to work towards a common goal, it will be better to have a common interest. sometimes, people think they love their partner but is it a form habit that makes them feel that. so think carefully before you say anything

for those who aren't in love yet, please don't dream a perfect person since they never existed. expectations lower chances and increases conflicts. it's rather logical if you have thought about it. when expectations are too high, you may just missed a great person with something they can't do about it. conflicts increases because you would not be satisfied and expect your partner to do better than what they have. your partner will feel inferior as the days goes by, thinking whether they are suitable for you. anyone who wants to challenge my string of thoughts will be utmost welcomed to do so since i have loads of time to think about this stuffs now. (have been regularly updating blogs since i know i will be unable to do so when school starts)

ohh sorry, i have diverted too far... but i am too lazy to think about imaginary friend anymore since they don't even exist and it would be a waste of time to think about something that never had existed.

so without disneyland, i would be only be going to ocean park which i heard is very boring and i am certainly not looking forward to it. will also be doing some shopping over at hk so hope that i will be able to get some cheap stuffs over there. guangzhou should be nice since it is more developed and i would be willing to see another form of chinese culture altogether. the last stop should be my ancestral grounds and i may be living up in the mountains. haha.... hope it won't be too cold since my last experience at alishan (in taiwan) has made me have an "unforgettable" cold experience. *shivers* i still can remember that i forgot to go under the thick blanket they provided and it made me toss and turn for the whole night. sheeze...
if i could get a camera, maybe i could upload some pictures for you guys. haha... (wondering whether i should start a diary of the china experience, just a random thought cause i should be too lazy to do so) actually, i should have extended my stay since i have a teacher over at suzhou. she was willing to pay everything for me including accomodations and food and whatever things and even tour me around. maybe i should do so next year when i go to hk. shall tell her about it. :D

i can't believe myself planning for next year's holidays when i haven't gone for my trip yet.
my plan after graduation/honeymoon:
europe backpacking. sort of a dream of mine.
i want to go paris for no reason. ( definitely not because of PARIS hilton, she sucks to the core)
i want to eat blackforest cake from some part of europe, heard from my aunt that it was fantastic!!!!!
i want to go france!!! (after reading da vinci code)
i want to see small alleys and old bulidings (due to the failure of singapore's preservation plan)
so i shall save my money from now, earn money from holidays and hopefully get enough money. i want to travel the world but i am contented with the experience i have with me now.
note: boy, you are going with me to europe no matter what!

Yo ppl, long long long time no blog le. I tried to play around wif different media and stuff to bring my ideas across(make my blog more interesting but to no avail). But just in case you are wondering, i am pleasantly surprised that there are a couple of ppl(okie okie, i noe, there are only two...) that actually miss my long blog entries. So two ppl(who miss my long blog entries) VS not a single fr**king soul(who appriciate my comic), i decided to continue my aritistic flair and come up wif another comic. JOKING! Hahahaha got ya! I am here for a long entry again.

Lame attempt to make my blog holy before i sin greatly.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. Amen.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell, and the third day he rose from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father, from whence he shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy, catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Man, i always cracks me up. Hahahahaha knowing how to recite this is so cool. Hahahahaha. Anyway...

Recently was out shopping around wif cloudsis and we came across a damn hell lot of sly's posters and such.... Man... If u havent already noe, this sly is the first singapore idol finalist. I just cant think how he got there the first place... Even the judges say that taufik should have won, freak the whole thing. It merely further emphasize that stuffs that came out of singapore, all cannot make it. (To name a few, first in the world to ban chewing gums, i still hold it against them, the "world class" army, the weird justice system here, the "we-are-more-open-to-ideas-but-will-still-hold-it-against-you-if-u-bad-mouth-the-government" atitude, the "you-are-free-to-say-wat-you-want-but-you-are-still-responsible-to-wat-you-say" free speech, explains the quiet speaker's corner now taken over by blangalas, we got used to this hypocritical country, which is lead by someone who simply loves to cry.) Love it or hate it, this makes singapore unique.

I will get back to my main topic, those are meant for another day. And i am blogging during company time. Hahahaha evil. So you see, sly looks uglier than my ugliest friend, he is as thin and looks like a monkey, wif that stupid hairstyle of his. Frankly, i havent hear him sing, but i got this feeling i didnt have to. Man, is this the aftermath from the "william hung" syndrome? Ppl now adays worship misfits/cannot-make-its who happen to make it big? The you-worse-off-than-me-but-you-manages-to-make-it-big-and-thus-means-that-i-can-make-it-even-bigger-but-i-just-cant-be-bothered syndrome? Since now you earn more money frm being CEOs and such, and got more power frm being someone politically linked, being in showbiz just doesnt seem that tempting anymore. So logically, they got filled up wif misfits. Like arnold swasnidontnoewatthefuck, or william hung, or sly. See? U dont have to study econs to noe this, and econs can be applied to everything in life, pity i never study it. (Man, i got this string-words-together-with-hypens-and-hope-they-make-some-sense and they just sound so right. I love myself :)

So to put it simply, sly sux, and my mind got interested in another topic i just tot of.

Oh ya, and i realise we were being led by a leader who just simply loves to cry. Who else but MM? Wat title will he tot up next? Will i be caught for this blog entry? Onli god knows.

Ppl who are raised up on the singapore education system will definately remember the clip when MM, then dont noe wat position, cried when Singapore was kicked out of the malaysia dont noe wat the freak federation. Please, i fail my history and this is no history class, so the point is he cried in front of the tele. I will say it is a reserved sobbing, somewat holding on to watever dignity he had. Man, i missed the clip. I rem rather clearly i laughed whenever they show the clip in class. I just never see a grown man cry before i saw the clip so that clip stays in my mind. Imagine Bill Clinton cry. Imagine Kozumo cry. Imagine Deng Xiao Ping cry....(Hahahaha this one is a killer, i really cant imagine...) Or Koffi Anam cry, or however u spell the UN chairman name. Hahahaha in fact, alot of ppl take tat as a plus point, i mean the point that MM cry.

If u havent already heard, MM cried(again) when Wee Kim Wee passed away and his granddaughter was giving a speech on the life of her granddad, who proclaims that his life, or life for that matter, is a love story. Hmmmm... I got this feeling this is wat happen in MM's head when he cry.(MM... sounds like a confectionary that melts in your mouth, not in your hands...)

So this is wat MM thinks. "Why the hell did he die? Then who can i confer the title SM? Wouldnt then ppl think that SM is just a title i will onli confer myself? Then wat about the current MM? Wouldnt ppl think that i just just title to myself as and when i like? Wat if i just call myself BDSM?" He couldnt stand thinking about BDSM and laughed so hard he cried.

Okie, so i was joking, wat the heck, screw me. But the fact remains that we are being led by a leader who loves to cry, and we take that as a plus point. Interesting. Maybe because he is soft, weak, never been thru army... Hmmm... I never remember ppl like being ruled by soft ppl. Wat??? U say soft is better than tyrant rulers who ruled wif iron fist? Man, u too extreme lar. Both of the extreme end.... I am saying someone who is strong willed, strong enuff not to cry, and feel for the ppl. Someone like... I dont noe, i dont have anyone in mind.

So much for my writing but i think u got the idea. And yeah, sly sux, think all of u agree. Maia sux too. Simply because of her name, too passe... Sounds like gaia to me... And she looked like a screwed up mina from last mth's FHM. Tats all folks, screw me in me comments if anything here hurt you.

something i noticed..... girls like to play quizzes. the evidence came when i did the quizzes myself and posted online, about 4 girls who know my blog also did the quizzes. it's kind of weird actually. was it because they needed assurance, to know more about themselves or just plain fun? for me, i took the quizzes from linhui's blog and i did it partly for fun and discovery of myself. another finding through doing so many quizzes was that the results are dependant on moods so i would say that there might be deviations when your mood is not right. one last thing before i end off is banedon is going to write a long post soon so look out for it. the topic? just wait for it to come out. Haha.... (i am being quite evil at this point of time because i KNOW THE TOPIC. i am getting crazy again)

just wanna put some thoughts of mine down

4.5.05

Due to the sudden freedom from work, I am just going to update things that I did in the holidays now and then, thus just bear with me for 3 months, it will be soon over. :P
First thing that is down for the holidays was that I finished up da vinci code. I personally find it quite digestible since dan brown doesn’t use bombastic words that seemingly don’t appear in our daily usage of English.Dan brown also don’t go too descriptive on his stuffs, unlike LOTR, which I could not complete since the description is 2-3 pages long, occurring at a frequency that was far too high for my tolerance and having far too many poems popping up in the book. The result was that I only completed half of the series and they are currently collecting dust in my cupboard. So my advice to all is to watch the movie and forget about the book. Currently, I’m starting on digital fortress but I feel that there was a vague similarity between the books. I shall just read on and hopefully, the new book will give me surprises.
