My dad said the building he lived in used to be the tallest in Kennedy Town. Well.. look at the backdrop... things have obviously changed over the years.... 

Went to my dad's childhood home... and this is the view from the rooftop. 

22nd Dec 2005 - Winter Solstice

Nature seems to know that this day is special.. so it got colder than usual.

My brother's friends and girlfriend came to Hong Kong. Had dinner with my family.

Not much happened.

Oh.. ya.. I think my brother is getting fatter.. (^.^)



24th Dec 2005 - Christmas Eve

It was chaotic. DISCONNECTED from the rez of the world LITERALLY.

I forgot to charge my phone.

Try to charge my phone at 7-11 around midnight. But therez already a whole line of handphones waiting to be charged.

Gosh.. why don't people charge their phones at home? Can't they see I want to charge my phone???!!

Alright.. that is so me-centric. HoHo

Didnt get it charged at the end. Was fighting against the current of... people.

At least it ended well. Haa

Oh.. merry christmas! (before I forget.)


25th Dec 2005 - Christmas Day

Woke up at 5pm. (HEY i slept at 11am.)

Wnet to play games at my fren'z fren place. (SO this distant relationship has eventually become my friend as well.)

Anyway... by now.. hope you guyz have an enjoyable christmas time.

What is wrong with this society?

Hello?! Arent we in the 21st century?

Kinda pissed.

Please.

Just because I am structured biologically different from half of the world... doesnt mean that I cant make friends (platonic ones) with that half of the world.

Why do people assume that I am in love with every freaking person I am nice to?


Well...

Technically speaking... it is not wrong.

I mean... I must be in love with the people I am nice to.

Yet... even in love...

there is different levels.


SO truthfully speaking...


I am, at the same time, in love with everyone and not in love with anyone at all.



Er...

is that confusing?

Boy... ain't I philosophical..?

Hoho.

The CHICKEN LITTLE numa numa dance....

Numa Numa Dance

Mai-a-hee
Mai-a-hoo
Mai-a-haha

Oh.. and an original version of numa numa dance lip syn by this guy.. Gary Broslman

Numa Numa Dance (original)

Numa Numa iei, Numa Numa Numa iei...

Ha.. I juz found the song interestin...

alo alo...

Something I've missed. Glass bottles of vitasoy stored in warmers at 7-11s. YuMmY~ 

SOMETHING NEVER CHANGE.


Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be, will be.
The future's not ours to see.
Que Sera Sera
What will be, will be.


I told you about how I see life before I learn about this song.

And so it holds.

Whatever will be will be.

Went to a lot of places today.

Started off from Causeway Bay. At noon the protest begun and the road was sealed.

SO i went to somewhere else.

Had a tough time goin home. Stations are closed. Police everywhere. Buses and taxis changed routes.

Damn.

Wasted my train fare.

Overall...

a very interesting day.

Watched Perhaps Love sometime ago...

To be honest, the show is better than I thought. Initially, I was thinkin of it as another cliche romance film with Kaneshiro as the selling point.

Yet, it is not another story with a fairy tale ending.

As a musical, the leads arent really able to carry the sound forward. But Jacky Cheung saved the show with his impeccable singing.

Anyway.. while watching the movie, it reminds me of "Phantom of the Opera". It's still along that storyline of a triangular love story.

And coincidentally, the "outsiders" in the respective films (Jacky's role as the director Nie Wen and the Phantom in the "Phantom of the Opera") have the most powerful singing.

It's still a movie worth to watch. For one, I expect a musical to be about people talking in songs and it always lack realism because of it.

But the problem is solved by limiting the singing in the context of a musical directed by Nie Wen (Jacky Cheung) in the show. Basically, there is a musical within the film. Somehow the plot of that story is similar to the real situation faced by the actor and actress leading the musical.

A song which I really like (apart from the theme song) is the following song

wai mian in "Perhaps Love" (trans: wai mian = outside)

Erm...

in a way... I do feel for this song.

or i should say.. it mean something to me?

Hee..

Hope you get it.

Some people from the University of Amsterdam carried out a test to "read" the expression on Mona Lisa's face based on the 6 basic human emotions.

It concluded:

mona lisa's smile has 83% happiness, 9% disgust, 6% fear and 2% anger.

...

What can I say?

She smiled.

Get over it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Found this somewhere...

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesnt mean leaning and company doesnt mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses arent contracts and presents arent promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So plant your garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.

Does it mean anything to you?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And no REBEL. I am not turnin into a neo-Nazis element. And NO.. I am not in love with a Jew either.

Dur.

The 6th Ministerial Conference in Hong Kong 13th Dec - 18th Dec 2005



Please proceed to the assembly point for the anti-WTO assembly in Victoria Park.

OKie.. this is the first day of the WTO Conference. So, it's also the beginning of the anti-WTO demonstrations. (Although the various NGOs and groups have arrived sometime before the commencing of the conference.)

Apparently, people are worried about social order since media has always portrayed the protests to be violent. In truth, it is violent most of the time with the deaths of some protesters in the last conference held at Cancun, Mexico.

So there is rational fear among the local police to maintain order in times of chaos. After all, though demonstrations in HK are common, they are passive and non-violent demonstrations. This is unlike the anti-WTO protests. Suicide of a certain Korean farmer in the last meeting is still etched indelibly in the memory of many.

Thus, there were major roads closure. Ferries, taxis, buses and mini vans got to change their usual route. Shops closed their doors along the paths where protesters go pass.

YET... sometimes... I believe there are two faces to the protesters...

As I was in Vic Park today...

I saw the TV showing violence of protesters trying to break through the wall set up by the police..

Around 5pm.. these people marched back to Vic park to gather...

N there they were like any normal person we saw on the street.

I was holding onto the camera and a Korean protester smiled and bowed at me. (Of coz... well.. I did smile at him first since I was tryin to steal a shot of him.)

haa..

and another man.. holdin on to a massive banner.. I can't remember the words on the banner.. but is something about self-determination for a certain place I've never heard of. Something beginning with "C"..

Again... he gave me a friendly smile.

Sometimes.. I wonder..

You saw the violence portrayed in the media. You begin to believe that it is all these protesters do. That is to throw things at the police, breakin through the wall formed by the police, tryin to get into cardoned areas, jumpin into the sea and burning props along the street.

Then you forget about the meaning behind all these. You became desensitized by the violence and even harbor apathy towards these people who had spent time and effort to be here. You saw them as agitators of peace.

OR ARE THEY?

The bottom line is... what is the meaning behind what they are doing?

I do believe they deserve certain respect and it seems to be subtly acknowledged too.

Look... though police used pepper spray on the protesters when they get too close for comfort...

Protesters are provided with water to wash their eyes when it is causing them irritation.

Well... as you can see...

there is always two sides of things.

A GAME FOR CHRISTMAS...

Ha.. enjoy~

SLACKER KID

High school was a place you showed up occasionally, but you didn't really leave a mark. You hated rules, authority, and structure. In fact, you still do.

Who Were You In High School?

Absolutely true. Ha...

I've decided not to bore people with another of my incessantly naggy and long post on movies with history themes... (which people have a huge propensity to ignore anyway... )

ANYWAY....

I should juz go back to the mundane and back to the present..

Something came to mind today.... that is the use of "codes" within a group of friends...

As in... when people know each other for too long... they tend to develop language that is only understood if you belong to that clique.

Because of these codes, there is increasing difficulty for people to make true friends as they grow older. For these codes like our common language (whether it is English or Mandarin or Cantonese) needs to develop over time.

So.. sometimes... when friends know each other long enough, things that happened in the past became part of their lexicon.

Erm.. OK... why am I sayin this... I recalled a stupid conversation with REBEL not long ago.. haa

Basically... we spoke metaphorically..

In MY personal vocab... "radiating" means missing someone dearly till the extent that people do not have to ask what are you thinking. It's like they can FEEL the "aura of yearning" around you. Hence... er hem... radiation... coz the person will be "radiating" "waves of yearning".

(damn... i m philosophical... hahaha)

So.... there was this day.. I showed a friend's blog to Rebel...

Me: Look... this guy is really in love... look at all those words used... read the post on Monday..

(OK... I admit... this is a very stupid thing to do... but the weather is cold and I am bored.. so hey.. why not look at others' blog.. share the fun~)

REBEL: OK.. (she read) another interesting fact from her... guys have sexual thoughts every six seconds.. so I tried countin...

1.. 2... 3.. 4.. 5.. you
1..2... 3.. 4... 5... food

(er blah blah blah... anyway.. in the end.. he calculated LITERALLY.. that every second he was counting 1 2 3 4.. he's thinkin about the gal.. n so there is a lapse of how-many-how-many seconds before he had a sexual thought and how-many-how-many seconds he spent thinking of her)

(sorry to be mean here... but.. hey... I can't stand too mushy stuff... gives me the goosebumps..)

ME: Er.. isnt he radiatin too much?

REBEL: erm.. if yours is call radiating... he is an atomic bomb.

....


....

....


OKIE... I am now in search of the nuclear warheads.

P.S. Well.. if my friend happened to read this. DO NOT KILL ME. hahaa...

"The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one."

"What luck for leaders that men do not think."

THE PIANIST

A certain craze for history films these daez...

Juz borrowed The Pianist from one of my floormates....

It's a story takin place during World War II... a real life story of a Jew Pianist who survived through the war. Well... no matter how many times you watched films on the portrayal of the Jews, it is still very heart rendering the way they were treated then.

A scene at the beginning had a Jew wearing the Star of David arm band as a LABEL of his inferiority and two Nazis soldiers stopped him on the pavement and said,

"Hey... you did not bow."

So the Jewish man turned back and bow. But one of the Nazi soldiers slapped him anyway. The man did not utter a word and walk away. The same soldier then shouted behind him,

"You are not allowed to walk on the pavement, use the gutter instead!"

The man just do as he was told.. stepping into the gutter with puddles of sewage water.

Something this small leaves an impression on me...

Not only will you commiserate at their misfortunes.. but you can't help marvelling at Hitler's frigid and yet captivating propensity to spellbind the public into believing the Jews as vile.

Trailers here

SYSTEMATIC KILLING

Never understand why it happens.. but it happened. The Jews were systematically herded together and gassed. - Final Solution to the Jewish problem.

1) Banned from goin to public places, using public facilities, the need to wear the Star of David (a Jewish emblem) and no inter racial marriages

Hey... Jews were not even a race on its own.

2) Gathered in ghettos - small areas designated for large number of Jews.

During this period of time, large number of Jews were shot to death as well. (esp. for artists, musicians.. people who could not contribute to the production of war goods); The area is sealed off with brick walls.

3) Concentration camps (mostly in Poland) to be gassed. This too, it's systematic.

Initially, the Jews thought that they were gathered there to provide free labour for the Germans. But things got a lot worse.

They were ask to undress... Nazis took all their valuables including gold dentures. (dur)

Nazis soldiers then shaved them hairless (regardless of their genders) and they were asked to go into a big "bath room" where they were showered.

And then.. the final destination would be the gas chamber where they were gassed. The Nazis would then pile up the corpses and burn them.

Gosh... Arent the Nazis mad?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE SCHINDLER'S LIST

Anyway...

In the Schindler's List, the man Oskar Schindler, a Nazis officer and well known womanizer, saved about a thousand Jews who were nearly gassed to death.

It is, again, a real life story... and in fact, the Jews who were saved by him call themselves "Schindler's Jews". He saved them by making a list and hiring them in his factory claiming to produce goods for the Nazis. But in actuality, it never produce anything.

Because of him, the Auschwitz concentration camp with an atrocious and infamous name of being a camp where "trains that entered never leave", there was one train that was able to leave the camp. It housed the Jewish women and children on Schindler's List.

IF YOU DO NOT MIND A LITTLE HISTORY

Good night and Good Luck (2005)

A new movie in black and white to retell the story of the McCarthy Era in the US.

It is about the witch-hunt carried out by the president in dealing with the communists. People in US were terrified by the "Red Scarre" - the paranoia brought about by the Cold War era.

McCarthy came up with ways to tackle with the communists and possible communists sympathizers in the country. He made claims of an influx of communists spies in the country and targeted writers and entertainers in particular with uncorroborated accusation of sedition. These dealings came under the responsibility of the House of Un-American Activities Committee.

During this period of time, the media was too intimidated to retaliate and rebuke the president's actions. However, there were still lone voices who stood up from the rest. This story of "Good Night and Good Luck" talks about THEM.

The term "McCarthyism" came to mean:

1. The political practice of publicizing accusations of disloyalty or subversion with insufficient regard to evidence

2. The use of methods of investigation and accusation regarded as unfair, in order to suppress opposition.


Trailer here

Btw, that is the real McCarthy in the movie. Thaz most probably the reason for the movie to be in black and white.

OK. The movie may not be to the taste of everyone. But it's an interestin bit of American history.

It's selfish to think that people do not change.

It's even worse when you expect them to change for the better.

"For the better".... "Better" for you.

But..

who can be truly altruistic?

I confessed that I am not selfless...

Just like you

and you

and you.

Guess where am I?

December 4th March

For electorial reforms for the elections in 2007 and 2008...

Get the news here:
124 March in HK

Well... I remembered crossin the road the side where the demonstraters are... n someone behind us says, "dim gai gwa lo doe nei yau hang gei?" (Basically trans to mean: why are the caucasians (gui lao --> ghosts man --> a local term for white men..) demonstratin as well?)

Haa... is kinda funny...

but.. who says White can't be HK citizens?

Dur....

Something impalpable stays

since the day it happened.

It is endearing and yet enslaving.

But no, it does not matter then,

nor does it matter now.

Nothing matters.

But why?

Everything seems to become nothing to me

since the day it happened.


------------------------------------
Like this.....

"I ought to grieve, but cannot what I ought.
I mourn the lover, not lament the fault.
I view my crime, but kindle at the view.
Repent old pleasures and solicit new."

"How shall I lose the sin and yet keep the sense?
And love the offender, yet detest the offence?
How the dear object from the crime remove,
or how distinguish penitence from love?

An unequal task! A passion to resign,
For hearts so touched, so pierced, so lost as mine.
Before such a soul regains its peaceful state,
How often must it love, how often hate!
How often hope, despair, resent, regret,
Conceal, disdain ---- Do all things but FORGET."

Sorry for sounding cliche.

Thaz me.

Maybe it happens to everyone once in a while.

Finally woke up early enough for breakfast...

the timing for meals here is kinda inflexible (for me..)

Is as follow:

Breakfast
7.30am (!!!) - 9.15am (yawnz)

Lunch (equivalent to my breakfast)
12.30-13.30

Dinner (lunch)
18.45-19.30

Dur...

But the breakfast is really the bez meal of the day... Juz wanna eat the toast so much...

Now I am listenin to a few songs by Billy Joel ...

Try listenin to this: Piano Man

Like the interlude melody of the harmonica...

Maybe becoz is early morn... n the song starts with "It's nine o'clock on a Saturday..."

Actually preferred this song, Vienna ... like its meaning and it's one of the sound tracks in 13 going on 30... :p

Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me why
You are still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Too bad but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself
That you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
But you know you can't always see when you're right

You got your passion you got your pride
But don't you know only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook
And disappeaar for a while
It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you.

Speak only if it matters,
Hold your tongue if this is a guise.
Silence does make the loudest sound, you know.

NIGHT OUT

Was it on Saturday?

Everything is a blur to me now...

Anyway... went to Central for dinner with a group of Singapore, Hong Kong and German friends. Went to this place known as Dragon i... Extravagantly decorated with red laterns and a contrasting black background complete with bar tables and authentic Chinese and Japanese cusines. A hybridization of east and west... the words that spring to mind is a paradox.. traditonal and yet Bohemian...

In fact, it is a dining place where round tables and sofas will be removed at around eleven.. transformin the place virtually into a disco club.

Therez even a model night... so models get free drinks and food --- selling point for attractin MORE customers...

Oh... and a peripheral point (though I see that as a MAIN attraction too.. er hem.. call me a "frog in the well".. whatever...) the washrooms are retro. These are unisex cubicles with a total metallic look... For some reason, it reminds me of matrix.

If I've known it will look this good.. I would have brought my phone camera juz to take a photo of the loo. (Right... I admit I do sound like a yokel.)

Anyway.. the bill comes out impressive as well... if I am not wrong.. it costs HK$2068+ for the nine of us there. Well... maybe therez a high maintenance fee for the loo?

Switched the location to a petite and cozy jazz bar along one of the shophouses.. located on the 5th floor. It seems to be a residence-turned-pub bar.

The band that was playin that day is known as the Kentohead. They played a few cantopop in a jazz rendition as well as other songs like Disney's A whole new world and Sway.


Jazz band at Blue Door Jazz Bar...

Well... at around midnight.. went on to Causeway Bay to M bar.

A few drunked men were juz vomitin along the street. Anyway, I was talkin on the phone outside the bar and a Caucasian man who reminds me of Tom Hanks in Cast Away was obviously zonked... and havin trouble walkin...

Looked as though he would lunge over me.

But is a really interestin night... though I smell like a walkin cigarette by then.

Thaz part of the actions of the city that never sleeps.

Btw... anyone interested in music and bands... check out this website on some local music functions Music in the City

Ciaoz.

A piece of life from the "democracy wall" on the guys' floor.


It says:
I've brought here the family version of "Animal Biscuits".
The weather has turn cold. Brothers* are recommended to wear more clothes** and don't expose too much of your muscles.

From: A female resident

*Brothers and sisters are the way they addressed residents in the hall. (Doesn't it remind you of Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act and Sister Act 2?)

** "Clothes" is written as "3" on the board. It has the same intonation with clothes in cantonese. (I think is true for mandarine as well.)

36 signs that you have been stayin in Singapore for too long...

Check out your symptoms here.


Well... I am glad I don't suffer from any of these....

I mean.. I still get lost tryin to figure out my own street number...

I actually pretend to be new in the area when a cabbie ask me how to go to my street...

Normally it goes like this...

"Which steet do you live in?"

"St. 62" (or is it 63.... erm... )

"Can you tell me when to make a turn?"

"Errrr..... is kinda near to Jurong Point...

Actually...

I juz moved in..."


See.... save the embarrassment of not knowin ur way home...

Basically.. I have "juz moved in" for more than ten times..

There are some variations too..

Like pretending to be from overseas...

So all u need to do is make comments like..

"Streets in Singapore are so confusing..." **shake head**

There...

n normally the cabbie will agree.

Laa~

The weather is freakin cold today.

Ok...

but I'm wearing shorts so I shouldnt be complainin.

A Sunday that goes wasted.

In the end...

I juz surf net for the whole day.

Went to check out some blogs of people from my hall. It seems to be a trend for them to use XaNga BloGger instead of blogspot.

Went on Soccernet ... check on the results of Saturday matches....

Glad that Man Utd still won despite missing out the tailsman in Roy Keane...

Right...

I know I am beginnin to bore people with soccer stuff again...

Juz real deprived of EPL matches...

DaMn..

Is kinda cold.. n is makin me real sleepy...

YawNzz...

Jet- Look what you've done

A song I started using as my handphone melody...

Take my photo off the wall

If it just won't sing for you

'Cause all that's left has gone away

And there's nothing there for you to prove

Oh, look what you've done

You've made a fool of everyone

Oh well, it seems like such fun

Until you lose what you had won

Give me back my point of view

'Cause I just can't think for you

I can hardly hear you say

What should I do, well you choose

Oh, look what you've done

You've made a fool of everyone

Oh well, it seems like such fun

Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done

You've made a fool of everyone

A fool of everyone

A fool of everyone

Take my photo off the wall

If it just won't sing for you

'Cause all that's left has gone away

And there's nothing there for you to do

Oh, look what you've done

You've made a fool of everyone

Oh well, it seems like such fun

Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done

You've made a fool of everyone

A fool of everyone

A fool of everyone

I think it's a nice song... :)

HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE

is officially open in all major cinemas... in Singapore.

....

Ya.. I know...

I got it.


Is it such a human nature to do the reverse?

I mean.. it is a TABOO to mention it till I watch it...

as in "Thou shall not mention about Harry till I gotta watch it" sort of forbidden thing...

But... I've been hearin more about it ever since.

SIGH...

Erm.. Well...

Look on the bright side...

There are places with slower screening time...

Think about...

Uruguay...

n China... (^.^lll)

Whatz worse.... there r places which are not showin it at all...

Think about Iran...

N... oh wait...

Is Iraq showin it?


Haa... see...


is not that bad after all... right?

....



Awww...

Alright....

GO watch it..

But SHUT UP.

Was at Pacific Coffee Place yesterday and came across this...


"Take us to the supreme earthling potentate..."



"Um well... Speaking..."
Alien 1: "Ah what luck..."
Alien 2: "It was I who chose the landing site. Kudos for Navigator Nebular**!"

**Probably name of the ship.

Hahaa... Calvin and Hobbes juz brighten my terrible dae.

I was dying of sleep deprivation yesterday. Had three cups of coffee. And still feel the splitting headache caused by the lack of sleep.

Then... savior from the comics section in the International Herald Tribune. Whewwww.... I started sniggerin.. but who cares?

YawNz...

Slept the whole day. Miss my morning lecture. Went on to sleep n surf net in the end.

Juz check mugglenet and the counter said in less than 6 hours it will be the opening of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ... damn...

N yes... I've no idea why everyone puts Harry Potter on their msn nick.. juz to tell me they BOOK the tickets.. or are watchin it on SUNDAY.

Okok... is only shown in Dec here. HAPPY??

Btw.. Memoirs of a Geisha looks nice too. It's "the first Hollywood movie with an all Asian cast" as mentioned on the front page of Times magazine.

We've officially stepped into Fall. The room is warmer when u on the air con rather than opening the windows. Dusk is fallin earlier than usual.

Didn't do much todae. Aww... another day wasted.

YawNz...

Toys at the window pane during autumn dayz. 

MONDAY. NOV 7th 2005.

This is officially marked as a BLACK Monday.

Firstly, according to the "traditions" of my hall, we are supposed to whip up a few dishes for supper after dinner. (How fattening can it gets har?)

Then, I lost my cell phone. Hello?! Can anything be worse than that. So... basically.. I lost all my contacts. From childhood frenz to sec sch frenz.. to JC... to NUS... n now to HKU. All GoNE~

Haiz... juz the thought of it. Seriously... I don't mind losin the phone alone. It's old and dented. Its screen is scratched...

I mean I won't deny I am really happy to rid my phone in this way.. haha..

BUT inside it.. there is a lot of contacts, smses that I wanna keep. Most importantly, I wanna stay contactable in HK.

Awww...

~~~~~~

8th November 2005

Got a new phone.

It's VS3 Panasonic

I changed the top cover to a pink one. haha... well I really like the 16M colors...

BUT.. a very big BUT

still no numbers. Can you send me your numbers? Everyone... please...

A phone with so much functions is useless without contact numbers..

I mean... with the technology nowadays... I can have a 16M color screen... a Sega sonic game... but well... comes down to it... it's still the use of the phone as a mean of communication to be the utmost importance.

SO... please send me your numbers... :)

The weather has changed quite a bit these daez.

Juz a day after I came back, the weather dropped by 6 degree celsius. Oh... the temperature is wonderful now :)

Though it seems slightly warmer today.

Already had a new resolution for my stay here.

I wanna..

1. Go to Disneyland (though it is most probably incomparable to the US one.. but well.. it's been quite a while since I went to one.)

2. Go to the Rooftop Garden at International Financial Centre (IFC) in Central. SOMEONE told me is a good place for impressive scenery and drinks.

3. ErM... stop dwelling over the bad points of the lecturers and students.. though it is ubiquitous and for all to see... (^.^lll)

4. Planning to go to my friend's home in Shenzhen. I havent get my Mainland Entry passport though. With that, you can go into China without a visa. But it has a very misleading Chinese name. It's known as the "hui xiang zheng". (Trans: Home returning ID)

Anyway, this plan is yet to be confirmed. :p

5. To inform the world of my hall's misgivings.



Well...

This is writings done on the walls in the ladies bathroom. How sick can it be when they start pointing fingers at specific individuals?

In case, you can't catch what is written here. It is sayin:

Cathy, I don't want to see you disappearing from the floor when you haven't get your things done. I don't want to see you chilling away with your friends. I've already ask so and so.. not to PLAY with you. Blah blah blah...

Well.. there are plenty of these notes.

How childish can people get?

I mean...

I never know it can sink THIS low.

If you hear that someone is speaking ill of you, instead of trying to defend yourself you should say: "He obviously does not know me very well, since there are so many other faults he could have mentioned."

It's usual for people to talk behind others back. I mean this is what the mouth is for. It's impossible for anyone to live through a life unscathed and unhurt by words.

The bottom line is... does the person MEAN it?

And so what if they really mean it?

Is these people important to you? No one knows yourself better than you.

Why not just laugh it away? And concentrate on those who really care.

A REVELATION:


Well.. as someone proclaimed... procrastination is a form of .. er hem.. arts...

I realized it's like an epidemic... it's really infectious.

What'z worse... is no one knows how it spread around. Whoz the "host"?

ErM.. M I really caught up by the avian flu frenzy?

The bottom line is.. since procrastination is spread around.. it's never entirely your own fault for shirkin away.

Laaa... yeah... I am juz tryin to find excuses for my laziness...

Guyz.. know many are meeting deadlines OR havin exams soon.. so good luck~

Gotta debugged~

Bad Day - David Powter

A song that I've listened to on board SQ2 - Singapore Airlines flight back to Hong Kong. Is really relevant to most of us.

Lyrics:

Where is the moment we need at the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

P.S. Seriously, you can't blame Singapore Airlines for charging more when you have 60 movies and 255 albums to choose from. PLUS other TV programs, radio channels and more than 30 games... is a wonder how people can SLEEP on the flight. Such a contrast to other airlines.

"THE POINT OF NO RETURN"

Is this really it?

Well... my dad used this term when he asked me how sure am I on what I am doin.

The way he termed it is kinda intimidating.

For those who do not know, I've asked for a semester of deferrence from NUS. This meant that currently I am an undergraduate in BOTH NUS and HKU.

But after this semester, it would be different. There are two options:

1) To stay in HKU

2) To go back to NUS

I've always thought HKU would be where I wanna be. For those who know me, you should know how much I wanna do journalism.

Yet... I would have to say I am very disappointed with how things were in HKU. Maybe NUS has such a good system of teaching, lecturers and technology... that HKU seems really bad.

OK... I would have love the environment that HK provides me with... but the institution is ... well.. kinda disappointing. And till now, what I learnt is really similar to what is taught in NUS. And waz worse is the lecturers are not even as good!

SO... is back to the question... will I regret if I stay in HKU since my deferrence ends this semester.

Many think I am goal-oriented... with a great sense of direction.. passion... blah blah blah...

but what if this is a mistake?

I am not afraid to make mistakes. Thaz what life is make up of.

And at the end of the day... I've to ask myself... am I really going towards "the point of no return"?

The Chinese Heritage Centre at Nanyang Technological University. (awww... any "fond" memories" for those in NTU? :p) Actually, it looks kinda nice at night.

Or maybe it's just because I don't study there so everything seems more pleasant.

Haa~

ANYWAY... I still can't believe I am SO STUPID. How can I get the date wrong?

Sorry.. guyz... for those who do not know... I AM IN SINGAPORE NOW~

BUT... I got the departure date wrong. I KEEP ON THINKING IS TOMORROW.

ANd is TODAY.

Since the time spent here is so short, I didnt really contact many. Hope to seeya guyz another time.

Right now...

Kinda angry about my irreconcilable stupidity.

Well...

as the sayin goes.. when you are angry, count to four.... but when you are REALLY angry...

SWEAR....

DAMN. DAMN. DAMN. SH*T. WHAT THE...

Okie.. thaz too much. Gotta keep my composure. CiaOz for now.

Finally changed my blog skin...

Had been too lazy to do that though obviously therez a problem with the site all this while..

Thankz guyz for tellin me.

But changin blogskin is such a cumbersome procedure... thaz why the delay

~~~~~

Seriously... I should be doing something useful during my MID TERM BREAK...

which is NOW~

Yet.... nothing provides me with the impetus to work...

ANYWAY...

Listenin to Air Supply now... :)

Their music juz sound better everytime I listen to it again...

Try listenin to my fav here:

Making Love out of Nothing at all


The one thaz most well known got to be All Out of Love. Well.. the tune is more catchy than the one I like I guess.

AND yes... another song you must have heard before. I've got the Mariah Carey's rendition here. AN all time favourite as well. Oh... by the way... the song's name is Without You.

So this is DJ Catz on air on KC708. :p

AWwwW... I still can't believe I miss the Air Supply World Tour. ArgHhhh~

DO YOU DARE???

Saw this quotation... find it kinda interestin.. so here it is...


"And indeed there will be time
To wonder, "Do I dare?" and,
"Do I dare?"
Time to turn back and descend the stair,
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair. . .
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?"

~ T.S. Eliot

T.S. Eliot, an English poet who is famous for his poem "The Waste Land".

Anyway... anyone who studied in history might have hear a little about him before. For those who hated history (like Cerise.. ha), his poem "The Waste Land" embodies the sentiment of the early 1900s when Europe lost all thir hubristic spirit after WWI.

Europe was so devastated by the war... that he viewed the future as a "waste land."

ANYWAY.. juz some background information of the poet... :p

Realized I am digressing.. the POINT here.. is... Do you dare?

As for the interpretation.. you gotta do it yourself...

Haa~

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another one... by T.S. Eliot...

"People to whom nothing has ever happened cannot understand the unimportance of events."

THIS...

I wish I can explain to the people in my hall.

Their world is juz those activities they are doing everyday. It is of significance.. BUT not that much.

It's not gonna be life-altering... but the way people feel here is...

"If I am not gonna do this, I will regret it. This is very important because it will affect the future."

Ok...

I don't know why they think so.

But thaz the general sentiment.

Not trying to belittle things done here... but is it really that important?

Anyway...

I've enough.... especially after a meeting when this gal from their Student Association pronounced audaciously, "Education in this hall is indoctrination" when I asked her "Don't you think education here is like indoctrination?"

well...

Though I did rebuke her...

what else can I say when she is so..... indoctrinated?

Sigh...

Prelude to Halloween... :) 

My room :) Hope you guyz find it pleasant... 

Two ice cream cakes I made for a floormate's birthday two daez ago. NO.. I m not close to her.. juz that I am appointed to be the Birthday SECRETARY.. alongside with two others... (awww... I wish I am the bathroom SECRETARY.. at least i dun have to go thru all this nonsense.) Anyway.. the cake is nice.:) coz i made it! 

In the computer lab of my school now.

Supposedly to be having lecture... but.. it is really boring.

I am very sleepy. Malaise..............................................................

My head is so light.. I can feel that it is floatin...

my brain is malfunctionin... n I m havin a headache...

have been sleepin very little lately... approximately 4 hours per day. Thaz half of my usual sleepin time.

....

Great.. I cant think of any clever things to say now. :p

I am in a state of daze... I juz wanna sleep~

Right now.. i shall continue getting hypnotized..

Later~

My room...........  

It seems impossible to get to my blog at all.

I am having a tough time in doing sth about it.

Anyway, it was China's national day yesterdae. So we went to watch fireworks at the rooftop Garden on the YMCA building in Tsim Sha Tsui.

To be honest, i feel restless and tired all the time that I don't really feel like going to this event. But in the end, I went because of the free tickets. At least we don't have to be packed like sardines in the streets.

I'm glad I went becoz it turned out fun. :)

Got photos uploaded in flickr.com (but if you ever see them... ignore our crazy ideas of photo taking... I am juz havin a ...er... hang over... from...... sleep deprivation.

I only gotta sleep at 6am this morn.

~~~~~~~~~~

Feeling kinda in the slump lately.

Haven't really feel well for a long time.

I mean is easy to pretend to be happy. All you need to do is pull the muscles on ur face. Who will suspect anything?

Really.

But... why am I down?

I don't know. I am getting so used to it that I don't know whether it is actually intrinsically a part of me.

Juz like... watchin fireworks... is juz a fleeting moment of novelty. I am.. in awe (Am I?) for a moment... and then I touched back down on earth again.

Waz happenin to me?

~~~~~~~

Finally gotta post sth...

well.. hopefully things are going a little bit on track...

PICTURES HERE (in case you didn't get to see my flickr account. :p)

Anyway... went to Sai Kung for an outing erm.. last week?.. I don't rem when was it. But it was ..... FUN? Shall I say?

Anyway.. Sai Kung is a mountainous area real far from my school...

My hall had this outing for two daez one night there. So.. we started off in school where we gotta play "ice breakers" like trust fall and so on. Then we were all blindfolded and led up to a coach.. where we were STILL blindfolded for most of the journey till we reached Sai Kung about an hour or more later.

Er... seriously.. waz the blindfolding for?

So we reached there and start hiking that mountainous terrain. So... from the morn.. thaz all we do. We walked n walked n walked till night falls.

Wee.. how fun.

Yeah right.

OK.. the view is kinda nice. But most people were distracted by the rocky path and excessive amount of cow DUNG along the narrow path. THEY WERE REALLY EVERYWHERE.

In the end.. I came to the conclusion that the cow was getting lost in the mountains. Thaz why it gotta used its HUGE and (thank god) smell-less faeces as markers along the way. (^.^lll)

Ok.. we walked in the mountains for the whole day and then took a ferry to some offshore island. I still have no idea which island we went to.

And it started raining.

Then we pitched tents at a soccer field at the top of a hill.

Er... it was cold and wet.

N when the dawn approached.. we were ask to go somewhere higher to see the sun rise. Again... the serenity is broken by the abundance of cow dung on the grasses.

At least I was smart enough to sit at a shelter. Most juz rushed forward in the dark or goes "Wah... look at that piece of cow dung. Is so GIGANTIC.." and then they stepped into the grasses anyway.

Duh..

Some photos are here: CLICK HERE

BUT GUYZ... I juz got wind that the GPA (which is equivalent to CAP in NUS) sux big time becoz of the extravagant amount of time people from this hall spend on activities.

It's really scary.

Esp. when they wanted everyone to do very much the same. Play real hard.

In fact, a gal living on my floor deferred two years to be an executive member in the Student Union.

And many seniors gotta do a lot more credits becoz they were not making the grades for the last two or three years.

It's like a hybridation of JC and NS.

Well... most ppl should know how I would feel about such a fantabulous combination of elements...

haha

CiaOz guyZ

Hello everyone. Never really got the time to blog for the last few daez. :p

Life was hectic, sometimes miserable, most of the times lost.. up till now. haha

I never thought everything is gonna be easy. Well... when "the going gets tough, the tough gets going" right?

Anyway... just to back track on the "series of unfortunate events" that occured. (Right.. I am just misusng the phrase... not exactly "unfortunate". )

1st Sept 2005

Got on board the flight Jetstar Asia which took off at around 6am. So you get the picture.. I gotta reach the airport by 5 am the latest.

Anyway... I was nearly late for the flight. Erm.. kinda usual right? Haha... don't you know lateness is a virtue?

ANYWAY... so I got to HK... and had a very frantic day. Check into the hall which was kinda miserable. Er.. I went to this level of the hall named the "Elysium" and all these women.. erm.. or ladies... are kinda.... mental.

I mean they call themselves the "goddesses"? Hello?!

SO therez a goddess of hope... another goddess of something... blah blah blah

Whatz worse.. is that I heard that I would need to be named sooner or later.. HELLO??????

WHAT? Goddess? It sounds so... pompous.

In fact, there are grafftti in my wardrobe... left behind by previous "goddesses." (^.^lll)

AnD the worse part was.. this hall had a very unique style of orientation. Freshmen were asked to come to an orientation camp in which they were treated like vermins. SERIOUS.

Luckily I was late for the "boot camp". The seniors never allowed the freshmen to sleep.. and they were scolded all the time. I could hear their shouts even when my room was at the other end of the corridor.. and I never got much sleep in the end.

PLEASE.

It was madness.

They were forcing the freshmen to remember the "college song", history and cheers all the time.

Basically... they NEVER sleep. And their cheers were still resounding in my head. It goes like "SEVENTH FLOOR, SEVENTH FLOOR, IS A PLEASANT HALL!"

OR... "V-I-V-A VIVA ST.JohNS... V-I-V-A viva st.johns.!"

OH PLEASE... How could it be "pleasant" when they do this at ur door at 3am in the morn. And this continue till the nez day...

RIght... I think I am complaing too much.

Leave the tales to a later time.

CiaoZ.

If forgetting is better... I would not have asked you to remember.

......


"Fly me, fly me, far as pole from pole;
Rise Alps between us, and whole oceans roll.
Come not, write not, think not once of me,
Nor share one pang of all I felt for thee.
Thy oaths I quit, thy memory resign;
Forget, renounce me, hate whatever was mine."

.....

..


So please forget.

Hey peeps.

This is the most unearthly hour I've ever blogged for a very long while.

THE REASON? My brother can't sleep because he's leaving today.

Well... I think he finally fall asleep. He is torturing me by playing all my songs in MY room since he had dismantled his own desktop. And he had difficulty sleeping because he's gonna leave his gf behind.

Guyz... you never know what they are thinking.

No. Is not the part that he can't sleep. Is the part that he can't sleep and decide to torment his sis. YawnzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

ALright...

To be fair... I mean I don't understand my brother's train of thoughts. JUST him.

YAWNZ... I am tired. Fatigued. Frustrated. AND feeling rather pissy...

~~~~~~~

ANYWAY... since therez time... a little more details

I went to another gathering today.

Met frenz I've not seen for a very long while.

It's always nice to meet people you've known for a long time.

Most probably they have seen the most silly side of you (as in when you are young and naive and tend to act more rashly then now?) that you don't really feel the need to be pretentious in front of them.

It's a good thing to meet up after such a long while.

Felt that I might have miss knowing some frenz along the way. And now, I got to know them all over again. :)

~~~~~~~

ANYWAY... ABOUT THE PHOTOS. I've uploaded them again. It's in FULL RESOLUTION now. (For aunty sheng to know in particular.)

AND I suggests viewing without the slideshow. Click on "This photo belongs to: watevawateva (set)"

then go to the set you are looking for.

click "next" instead of the slideshow... I feel that it's more convenient to read the hidden notes.

~~~~~~~

Got home. Saw sth rather annoying.

After seeing it... I juz cant help goin "Ewwww". Yucks.

Sorry. Cant bring myself to say what it is. Is juz sth about my caprice of behavior in the past that utterly reflected badly on me.

Oh.. juz the thought of it.

Ewwww~

S81 gathering or farewell party (erm.. I don't like the idea of "farewell") was fun.

Yes. My first ever gathering. :p

Thanks for the gifts. I would definitely remember this dae.

Took a lot of pictures. You guyz can view it by clicking the flash box at the left hand bar.

Well... got that from my fren'z site. Think is kinda convenient to use once you figured out how to get to the SETS page. (Sorry... it might be a piece of cake for you guyz.. but I am an IT dummy.)

Anyway... in case there r others like me... Juz try to locate the SETS in the site. The set of photos is under "My First S81 Gathering".

And while viewing as slideshows... you can click on the photos for silly captions.

Yawnz...

Hope you guyz can get to it.

A SONG... "I've Never been to Me" by Charlene Duncan

Copy and paste the following in a new window to listen to the song... :)

http://202.108.11.168/m?ct=134217728&tn=baidumt,I've Never Been To Me Charlene Duncan I've Never Been to Me&word=mp3,http://etwas.rknw.com/music/mjI$.mp3,,[I+ve+never+been+to+me]&lm=16777216


Lyrics:

Hey lady, you lady
cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
and a regimented wife

I've no doubt you dream about
the things you'll never do
But,I wish someone had talked to me
like I wanna talk to you.....

Ooh I've been to Georgia and California
and, anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
but I ran out of places
and friendly faces
because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me...

Please lady, please, lady
don't just walk away'
cause I have this need to tell you
why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
still living in your eyes
won't you share a part
of a weary heart
that has lived million lies.......

Ooh I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece
while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
and I've seen some things
that a woman ain't supposed to see.......
I've been to paradise,but I've never been to me.......


Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie. A fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be.
But you know what truth is? It's that little baby you're holding. It's that man you fought with this morning, the same one you're going to make love with tonight. That's truth, that's love.........

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I.....I took the sweet life
I never knew
I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring
the subtle whoring
that costs too much to be free....

hey lady......
I've been to paradise......
but I've never been to me..........

Trailer for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

CLICK HERE for the trailer

Goin to be released in SG on 18th Nov.

Sigh... it will only be released on the 22nd Dec in HK. Great... juz in time for Christmas.

So... take a look at the trailer if you have been following the sequels all along.

For those who don't... this time round Harry got to go to the quidditch world cup final (something like soccer world cup... a match between Belgium and England) and took part in the triwizard tornament (a contest of wizardry skills among three wizarding schools). N thaz even a ball for the students.

Do I sound childish or what? v(^.^)v

Goin back to packin.

Ciaoz.

Everyone seems to be occupied these daez...

Yes. Therez school. Therez work.

Not everyone have the privilege of neglecting time. "Time" to me.. is kinda useless these daez. It doesnt have much of a significance unless u have a schedule to follow.

Yawnz. That explains why I am still awake now.

Busy with packing.

Was doing my laundries juz now. N I kinda regret buyin so many "delicate" clothes that required "personal care and attention." As in "handwash only" or "please wash separately" sort of clothes.

Those words are the death sentence to laundries washing.

You never feel the hassle of it all till you got to stand in front of the basin for hours washing them.

And my right hand is still shaking from the "after shock" of excessive washing.

Great... gonna buy more rags to wear I guess.

But don't get me wrong. I do my laundries before. Seldom... but I do. Juz not at this frequency. (^.^lll)

Normally, my mum do it for me even when I said "leave it to me".

Ohh... I miss my mum already. Erm.. wait a minute... I'm still at home. :p


ANYWAY... guyz... not gonna miss the outing. No worries.

I WILL BE THERE. I WILL! I WILL!

Trust me. For once. Not gonna miss it for anything.

Seeya guyz soon.

Ciaoz for now.

Letter of acceptance to St. John College... the place I'll be living in (at least for a semester :p)

It's a school started in 1912... initially divided into St. John and St. Steven for the guyz and galz respectively. And it's relocated in 1955. Whew... at least it's relocated after the wars.. so the possibility of transcendental beings should be lower.. haa

Furthermore, it's modelled after the British boarding school system... thus meals would be provided and they had formal wear complete with ties and suit for occasions.. (You know... in true British boarding school style)

A picture found online. Description of rooms:

There are in total 223 single rooms for undergraduate residents and they are all single rooms, which they are indeed, an ideal place for studying. On the other hand, each single room is installed with a telephone line and a computer network plug which connects your personal computer directly to the computer centre in the campus. Laundries and a pantry on each floor provide convenience to the students. Some can even have magnificent views of the Tsing Ma Bridge.

Facilities...

The dining hall for meals

TV room with cable tv and snooker tables... (heard that you could catch soccer... )

Library of the college

Chapel... reminding me of the days in St. Andrew's.. Btw.. my college motto:

means "All through Him"

Great... so much of "Once a Saint, Always a Saint" in St. Andrew's dayz... I'm goin into another "saintly" era.

Oh btw.. I'll be packing all those Saints Tee to wear in the college... haa...

Anyway, all the images were gotten from the St. John College website. So.. there is a possibility they are not as cozy as they seemed here. But they do look elegant enough.

Better not pin up my hopes.

CiaOz for now.

A fren forward this quiz to me: (is from Poni.. actually)

CLICK HERE TO TRY THE QUIZ

N hey... I find the result frighteningly true...


You are constantly trying to make a favorable impression and endeavoring to be considered as that someone 'special'. You are pretty good at using various tactics and strategies that give the impression that you are in control. Maybe you are - but you are constantly watching to see whether or not your endeavors are truly appreciated. Be careful... just as 'you' may be endeavoring to influence others, 'they' may indeed be influencing you.

For some time now you have been feeling rather insecure. You are looking for - and needing - an environment that can offer you roots, stability and a position that will relieve you of excess tension and stress.

Circumstances are holding you back, forcing you to back off and to forgo all the pleasures, fun and games for the time being. But this is only a temporary situation and before you even know it the situation could change.

You are very restless and inclined to be depressed - and try as you may you feel that you are unable to control the situation in which you now find yourself. You refuse point blank to relinquish control of your feelings and to place yourself in other people's hands. It would appear that there is a condition or a relationship on the horizon which you feel could cause you further unwarranted aggravation and stress. This is the last thing you need at this time. There must be more to life than the present situation. You are not quite sure what you are looking for and so you tend to be impatient and irritable until what you seek presents itself to you. You need to get away from this unsatisfactory state of mind, especially now, as you find that your powers of concentration are suffering.

You are putting on a show - a facade. (er.. I juz mentioned this in a previous post.) You are a master of demonstrating considerable charm in the hope that this can or will lead to better things. Deep down you are fearful that this may not work and that you may have to employ other strategies in order to realize all your ambitions.

YUM CHA?! (trans: drinkin tea) Ha.. yeah... literally drinking tea.. not with dim sum n stuff.. bet you can notice the sushi conveyor belt at the side.. (^.^|||) AND yes.. I know I am lagging... the two pictures I posted below are from the National Day Parade Final Rehearsal earlier this month. Thought it might be interestin to post... :p  

Raffles landing.. n founding of modern Singapore 

Parachutes from the sky... 

THIS greenish mold.. is... my BROTHER's teeth!!!!

Great... he went home n put it on my desk.. and said, "OK.. this is my teeth. Is for you. So when you miss me, you can juz look at it." (^.^)

Seriously.... why would I miss him? Let alone his teeth?!

I was told that he was selected from his camp for the oral hygiene competition... n this only lead to one conclusion --- other guyz in his camp have no teeth. Or they simply don't brush their teeth at all.

Oh.. come on..

my brother's teeth for oral hygiene?

GET REAL.

Went to Jurong Point today... n sat at mac for hours....

No.. I am not goin crazy...

These daez my home is in such a chaotic state... I can't bear to stay at home when I am trying to concentrate on doin something...

Juz imagine... my desk is piled up with papers that I could hardly see my own table top. :(

Yes... I can shoved everything onto the floor... erm.. but I can't really make out the tiles on the floor these daez... is occupied by paper bags and boxes...

I hate mess... I can't work well when my room is in a mess... so.. I should apologize if I talk to anyone of you during one of my more "messy" times.. muz have sounded serious n stuff...

I was trying to fill up some forms for HKU... and typed out the credit transfer details at mac juz now...

Haiz...

As I was sitting there... I suddenly thought of the possibility of me doing something similar in the future...

Will I ever have the chance to leisurely eat dessert at Mac cafe.. work with my laptop and listen to my mp3... n look on at passer-bys in Jurong Point again?

Maybe... but the feelings might change in the future...

Guess I am beginning to treasure all the little things I did on this tiny island... haa.. hope is not too late...

Like taking a bus ride... siting in a train... walkin along a stretch of road I always pass by...

Those tiny little details that make each of your day... it seems so insignificant till you realized one day... "Hey.. things are going to change and you might not be able to experience this anymore!"

Of coz.. I do think that I will see it again.. most probably I will still take a bus, ride a train etc in the future... but maybe the feeling would be different by then?

I think I am developing a habit of staring blankly all of a sudden...

Dun disturb me if you see me doing it... I am juz trying to remember the moment as it is...


~~~~~

People ask me am I going for good?

I don't know. Is it really "for good"?

I think is somewhere in between... "for good" or "for bad"...

n HEY.. I do not hate this place. I mean.. I don't really like the weather... the lack of place to go is another major headache... n the absence of liveliness is another thing...

But apart from these teeny weeny glitches.. all is well.. all is fine... I do have a heart and I do feel.. :p

I will never go for good as long as there is a reason for me to be back.

~~~~~

N... I think a few daez ago... had a conversation with my brother's fren... a guy who went to HK with us before...

I dunno what happened... but at some point he said...

"I really admire you. You are strong and confident.
Play Hard, Study Hard.
Dare to be different."

I was stunned by his word. Am I whom he said I am?

Palz.. is merely a facade.

I have my fears too.

In fact... a lot of them.

~~~~~

ANYWAY... to cheer things up a little bit... is time for my insanely hilarious Pinky and the Brain to do their job~ v(^.^)v

Brain: Promise me something, Pinky. Never breed.
Pinky: I'll try.


B: Pinky, are you pondering what I am pondering?
P: Whoof, oh, I'd have to say the odds are slim, Brain.
B: True.
P: I mean, really, when have I ever been pondering what you've been pondering?
B: To my knowledge, never.
P: Exactly. So, what are the chances that this time, I'm pondering what you are pondering?
B: Next to nil.
P: Well, that's exactly what I am thinking too.
B: Therefore, you are pondering what I am pondering.
P: Poit. I guess I am.
