Sigh .. back to this .... place... I've run out of superlatives to describe is to me and how I feel about it.
The first few weeks are going to be tough. Tough to forget the good shite and stuff that was only few hours before. Ah well, might as well don't waste the time here ...
Missing everyone... kep in touch .. take care ... ;0)

Alas ...

Now Playing: Placebo - Every You Every Me

I don't know whether I even should be writing this but I had one freaky dream on Wednesday if I'm not wrong. freakish as this involved a friend of mine, and it's not that wayout as it is a female friend, still bizarre.
Freakish because it was a wedding ceremony !!! Strange how your subconscious would play with your mind and the thing is that I NEVER remember my dreams, I usually forget about it by the time my eyes peel open. But this time round it was so damn vivid, as clear as day, not seom mist hovering over the scene, like it's going to happen. I've experienced de je vous before, very much on a smaller scale but this is truly ridiculous....
What the hell is this all about? Your inner self would tell you stuff. Hah! I'm yet to find a somebody on a mutally attractible/compatible level, let alone thinking about ieing the knot ..... What weird scripts our minds would weave ...

well whoop-de-do ...

Now Playing: Dean Martin – Music To Watch The Girls Go By

Well, had my chicken rice, and will have it again tomorrow, come rain or shine …. Haha

Saw Sin City, beit it was on a DVD rip. Nonetheless, it was bloody good, no pun intended as it is gory. Do admit that I have not come across the comic at all but true to the original it still keeps to the black and white elements of the comic, with minimal splashes of colour to give it that emphasis when needed. That B&W style did give the tone of the story to be dark and still, with many secrets. The style was that of a narrative form, with each main character telling the tale, with 3 short tales drawing parallels to each other, ala the Pulp Fiction masterpiece (with the gore and violence to boot, never knew you could rip off a guys twig and berries that quickly … *shudder*).

It be up there with Batman Begins for the movies that I’ve seen this year, not that many ….

Net down ...

Now Playing: Orgy – Blue Monday

Afterthat forced, seemingly endless horizontal weekend, I’m back to normal. Internet’s down, starting to wonder whther it’s the wyfy on my lappy or SCV’s server is down, seems to be that case cos the router seems ok.
I will post this when that’s sorted, doing my usual of writing on word first …
Makes you think in times like these how much we rely on the internet, won’t go into details, it’s probably been said time and time again.
Staring to pack for my trip back, just a shitload of tees, that’s about it, goodthing I’ll be back for a month, really have no idea how I’d be able to get all my shit back here in the end.
Sigh, I’m really dreading to go back to Perth, so does most of the students that I know that are into their final year/semester. Don’t get me wrong, appreciate and treasure the friends and all the shit that we get into, goodtimes.
But alas, it be the last few pages of the educational chapters in the story of my life (cheh bah … *ahem*). The next chapter looms though, like a drak cloud. As some of you might know it by now with my constant pondering, whinging and daydreaming.
Well, gonna make full use of my last few days here… chicken rice for lunch … one track mind….

Last Night

ow Playing: Placebo - Pure Morning

Last night started out alright ...

*ahem* ... is spmewhat narcistic but I thionk from my facal expression you could see how this was going to end for me. Yes, after a litany of drinnks I wasn't sloashed, more to that of in a drunken, comatosed stupah. To the point that I was dragged all the way to my bed, much to the amusement of everyone that was involved, according to eye-witness reports... my retrievers as well.

Yes, I did do the whole walk of shame, but you know sometging/ I wasn't compensating for anyting at all, I wasn't to fill a void in my soul or any of that bullshit. I simply just wanted to get wasted, to let go, not to hold anything back, basically mental.

Well, paid for it ...

Sun shining, the weather is sweet .... well it was, damn gloom, came back all the way from holland for nothing...

The simple pleasures of life... CHICKEN RICE!!! ... if I walked all the way down to the bustop , sweating like a horse, it's always worth it ...

Finally done with that law paper, now is the fear that would cross some uni student''s mind .. plagerism, eventhough you know you didn't, there have been cases of lecturers going through it with a fine tooth comb.. fingers crossed....

Heard on the radio this morning, caller overharing 2 old uncles in a kopithiam debating about the NKF debacle...


"I don't care!! I will stop donating to the KFC anymore!!"

"Incle, it's NKF..."

"I don't care!! As long got K got F ... can already!!"

couldn't stop laughing ....

I'm bored

At the moment, I'm bored,. Nothing really much up... all this time is breeding unwanted thoughts, manifesting in my head .. I'm lost ....

As for the essay , I'm not really up for it at this point ....there's always tomorrow...

tonight

Now Playing: The Temptations - What Becomes of The Broken Hearted

Quiet day this saturday, walked the dog, did abit of weights, had a good family dinner (excellent infact) out. Went out bar hopping of sorts around Clarke Quay, maybe it was the Australian/Chilean wine (well, the waitress couldn't tell jackshit, differentiating between an Australian from a Chilean (least she did get the hemispheres right)) ... oh, and unless your white or have a sweet tongue or fat wallet, avoid Asylum, service was horrendous. The wine however did put me in a nua mood.

However, I think it akso set me up for a rather anti-social sorta mood that night, I just wanted to lepak and at times, just felt something was missing .

And now, I shall break into a song, you what it is lah .... though you'd be spared 'cos this is only the bginnig of the song, the rest of which is rather insignificant ...

'I feel like a song without the words

A man without a soul

A bird without its wings

A heart without a home

I feel like a knight without a sword

The sky without the suncuz you are the one

I feel like a ship beneath the waves

A child that lost its way

A door without a key

A face without a name

I feel like a breath without the air

And every day's the same ...'

I know, cliched, 'emo' and other superlatives ... but fuck it .... me no carey ....

day out ...

Now Playing: The cure - Friday I'm in Love

A nice long day out, with good company at that.... went to catch War of The Worlds, KNN ... was one of the worst films I've ever seen, it's up there with The Aviator...

The film?? To begin with it was so flat, did not feel any progression to the 'action' part, don't tghink there was anyway. It tries to put in the action bits together with ther human, emotional, element part, but all you get is this nut who wants to see the whiole world end infront of him, some girl who just screams all the way throughthe movie, Mr Cruise who really can't play these sorta roles (and he really gets damn corny when he tries to be agro) and some mother who doesn't know what the fuck is going on cos she's safe in Boston. And the end? he world is saved by birds, well that would be my ending cos we walked out about 30 mins from the end.. was excruciatingly bad .... pulling your teeth out with a pair of pliers would be more fun ...

Ah well.. had good company to share the pain with ... haha ... ;)

Afterthat, it was onto dinner and afew drinks top of the M... off clubbing these days.. was back before 12.. on a friday (gasp!)

finally/blonde rug anyone?

Now Playing: Payl van Dyk - Live @ The O

FINALLY, got the damn law paper, sheesh.. can't believe that acamecians can be so slack ... Wait Awhile would definatley be W.A.'s slogan...
Recieved my grades, not oo bad, am somewhat bitchy and annoyed about one of my units though ... dunno if i fucked up the paper which is highly unlikely or the moderation is that much (cheh bah).... anways this law paper, just doing dribs n drabs, not really into the swing of things, am forcing myself to at least finish it up by tomorrow evening, don't want it to hangover over the weekend....

Now...










Anyone wants a blonde rug?? Really would have commited dogicide on my gravity challenged golden retriever, She first insists that she wasnts to go for a walk, as there have been many an episode that happened to me when I walked (sucker for blondes lah), so everthing was fine until 10 mins from my place, near Bin Tong, she becomes an unmovable deadweight, I swear if anyone saw me they'd think i was co,itting doggie abuse... thatwounded look, and she'd dare smiled after when she was sprawled liek a pig by the sidewalk.... good thing she'd walked.... am now not speaking to her for awhile .. a day or 2... (YES!!!)

As heard on the radio this morning...

Cure for flu:
Remedy: Give a dog to eat piece of buttered bread, inbtween of which is a plucked strand of hair of the person who has the flu.

Incantation when the dog is eating the bread: 'Eat it well you hound, may you be sick and I be sound'

WHAT THE FUCK ....

Think I've really busted my arm for good.. the pain is still niggling....

Last Night

Now Playing: Royskopp – Apple

Yea, sorta on a blogging frenzy at the moment. My hands are still sorta numb from the intoxications of last night. Did go for that Heineken gig on top of New Market carpark. It was the closest thing to a rave of sorts, oon the well organized, proper Singapore manner. Though it was rather humid there was a bit of breeze coming through now and then, it was open air. Beats the ventilation-deficient coffins that some Singapore clubs are.

On the decks? Bentley Rythmn Ace. I must confess that I’ve never lusten to any of their stuff, apart from one or two of their commercial tracks, but nonetheless, it was good stuff.

They dropped the tempo frpm the last deejay set, can’t really remember the name but tghink he was from Oz and most probably Melbourne ‘cos it was progressive hpuse. As far I know, Perth seen is mostly high energy and DnB, while accotdiong to Alvin Sydneysiders like their France House sorta genre of tunes. Hearinf from the downstairs it was goodshit but we were yet to proceed.

Well, from what my ears could pick up, B.R.A.’s set was a blend of nu skool breaks, bit of techno, bit of house, a melting pot of dance genres I suppose.

Was so knackered that I left before the Freestylers set, which I heard was better than the last one … And the crowd? Your usual mix of j.c. idiots, bengs, ‘to be seen’, expats and bonafied clubbers. Wish they’d be enthusiastic, most were mingling but there were a few groups that were there for the music, bigups to ‘em.

A goodnight out nonetheless ….

'emo'

As it would be known to some people that I do take some lyrics to heart, I suppose it’s a connection to what the songwriter is going through or maybe the state I’m in and all that fucking ‘emo’ shit and babble that some individuals would. In most instances it would be some crasp lyrics from shite like Linkin Park or Simple Plan ("Oh I'm so angry with this whole world I gottta write a song but I can't use 'fuck' cos I'll be a bad influneceand won't be able to sell records... please") ….. but ... damn ...

I wanna shine on in the hearts of men

Another head aches, another heart breaks

I am so much older than I can take

And my affection, well it comes and goes

I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me outYeah, you know you got to help me out

Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner

You know you got to help me out

And when there's nowhere else to run

Now Playing: The Killers – All These Things That I have Done

a.m., woke up 2 hours earlier, getting kinda irritating, I’m usually on 2 extreme poles when it comes to sleeping. So I took up ChinFee’s advise and took a walk around my neighbourhood, and it wasn’t for 4 hours….

Anywho, so took the Bob out for a a walk as I won’t be the sort to bothered to go for a walk just to kill time. And as usual when he sees the leash or hear’s it he’ll regress into a puppy, sometimes I wonder who’s walking who ….

Walking a long Bin Tong when all a sudden my mom pulls up next to us and tells us to get into the car, really thought she kidding, even the Bob was somewhat bemused by this whole ting. So we took him for a car ride and eventually ened at the Botanics.

I must admit that I am somewhat of a swaku when it comes to the Botanics but shit man, banyak orang she. Well, it was the usual mix of cosmo’s, retirees and expats, and doggies everywhere, so there was Bob, he’d be thinking that this is going to be a regular feature for a walk. Jessie, well she’s got this excuse that her leg is shot, think she’s just lazy … the 2 paraiahs.. they’re kinetic…

Least I’ve filled up my morning ….

Anyways. Saw the shrink yesterday. Yes, shock, horror.. Ian’s a loony… But really, it’s good to clear your mind totally on someone that sits on fence, doesn’t tell you what to do but let’s you think about every action and reaction …

“ It’s always good to have dreams. It’s better to have goals.”

‘Focus.’

“Don’t be stressed out with life.”

“You’re not so childish now.” – no seriously, that’s what she said ….

That would be that in a nutshell. It would be appear to be a waste of money but I think I need professional, clinical assurance.

Been waking up early, KNNBCCB!!! @ 7a.m. somemore … argh …

Now Playing: Hecho en Cuban Edicion 2

FINALLY wbt to collect my diploma, haha no shit .... was strange going back NYP, seeing all the 'kids' rushing for classes and stuff like that. Tried looking for afew of my old lecturers and all, most of them have left, well according to one of 'em is rather stifling, both for the student body and facualty. Do miss certain aspects of poly life, well the social aspect of it all. Academically speaking, I'd prefer to be able to choose my units and do my essays. I guess that would be the last time I would be stepping into that place again.... then again ....

Went to look at some kicks at queensway but nothing much at the offing, took the wrong bus back (amazingly in my condition it's like only the 3rd time that it has ever happened, then again you'd gotta be nuts to walk in this weather.), took a cab and no comments about the house as I thought the cabby might say as he seemed the sort.

MMeeting in the house, Mr. R.H. was at his usual self, really around him you'd gotta just shaddup and let him talk cos most of the time I'll usually end up having my foot in my mouth. But yea, inbetween the lines there were words of wisdom that was departed. It does reaffirm my desire that I WANT IT ALL.....

Still haven't recieved my essay, this is really starting to tick me off, have written to her already and still no reply, and I'm getting rather paranoid cos , well .. theres no reply ...

Cycadaian Rythmn back on cue, think I'm going spoil it now.... considering taking anap......

it's 8 a.m.

Now Playing: Sting – Brand New Day

How appropriate ,,,

Can’t sleep, whcich is rather bizarre considering that it was right after a night out…. I hour, that’s all I got.

The night that was?

Well, did explore the unknown realm of salsa. For once in a long time I have never felt so out of place, it was rather intimidating as everyone was in sync, bodies hypnotized by the ryhms that would be hard to be mistaken to be Cuban. Nonetheless, an interesting eye opener and something that I would consider when I get back here permanently.

After half an hour iwe belted straight for the exit, ened up at the usual place… I wonder when we’ll finally suck the last ounce of life in that place, as we have done with most previous places. I really didn’t want to go clubbing that night, just wanted to chill, I’m really feeling burnt out at the moment, it’s the same ol’ routine. On the other hand, it’s the people that are around you that counts. So yea, was a good night out. Male bonding at it’s best?? Haha…

Was listening to the world service, just caught the tail end of the LLiveAid cocert report. It was 20 years from the very first one, and well, somewhat putting pressure on the G8.

The cynical side of me came to the fore. From what I gather fomr the report is that well, It is well known that Sir Bob Geldof and Bono do have the will and heart to fight for the African continent, fair enough. What stroked me from the report was that ‘few artisites did it as a one-off’ .. publicity stunt? And irony of it all is that most people on the continent don’t even know about this as well as that there weren’t many performers coming from there as well. I’m just thinking to myself whether this is one excuse to get free publicity and a chance to trhow gigs around the world? Must be my lack of sleep.

Really can’t sleep as I said before, went to bed at 6 a.m.? And well I thought I’d be snoozing til some random thought poped into my mind, I’m not stressed or anything but there are like a million thoughts running through my mind at the moment, and those that are meant to know know what they are. Frustrating as it is, it’s not really in my control… sigh
