I Promise You I Will Learn From My Mistakes

Warning : Dont bother reading unless you're really bored and ready to waste 10minutes of your life.[ or less than 10mins if you're a fast reader]

173 days have passed by. I guess, things have been goin pretty smoothly for now. It was a bad start,but I guess time can fix alot of things. Distance too, I must add. I sorta feel like its time to review the year so far, just to check on things. Firstly, and most importantly I must express satisfaction because this is probably the first time that I'm keeping to the new year's resolution and. The fact that I made the effort to start changing deserves a pat on the back ok? I'm just kidding. It wasnt that hard. What am I talking about? Why its simply...hitting the gym. Like I said, it wasnt that hard. But what I find from taking that first step is that, it slowly lead to another step [dohh, walk cycle]. The 2 other steps were things that I had not put into the plan because I'm not gonna force myself only to fail. Promises made to myself, are not meant to be broken. I'm talking about my drinking and smoking. Now I drink a few beers about once a week, sometimes less than that. And I ALMOST smoke once a week as well. Except for the occasional 1-2 puffs from someone after meals. I dont know about you, but I honestly find this quite an achievement. Considering that I'm not forcing myself to quit. I wont lie to myself and others. I'm not quitting. I'll admit the day I know for sure that I can.

192 more days, till the end of 2009. We're at the middle point. Should I put in mid-year resolutions? Being pretty ambitious seeing that its been pretty successful so far. I'm done now, with my degree life. Fingers crossed that I've done enough to get me through that final hurdle. I know I've mentioned about getting some extra work done in the next coming months before I start my Masters course. But I guess in all honesty, I just want a break, take my mind off of things and think about where I want to go in life. I'm so unsure sometimes. I have neither dreams nor goals nor the drive to get me through things. Ok I just realised that the 1st and 2nd paragraph is totally unrelated.... but yeah...thats just me, dropping off all my current thoughts..

Sometimes I feel like I've nothing to say anymore. Has my vocabulary shrunk, or my ability to construct sentences deteriorated? Or am I just turning emotionless? Btw... my stupid dog has been whining for the past HOUR! omg, he can be so persistent!! HELP! Ok... thats enough for now.

Currently hooked to tracks that have no lyrics... so.. nothing for this post.hehe Nights!!

All That I Need

A picture 

I’ve been running on, running on empty
For way too many miles now
I’ve been flying with broken wings

And now I’m falling faster to the ground
And it’s a bitter end to a story so sweet
Like a long lost friend
That’s never found a way back to me
And I can’t deny these memories
Got me all locked up inside
And you hold the key
All that I need is this moment
To send me away with a smile on my face
I tried to leave but I turn back
On my heart remains a trace
All that I see is this moment
All day in my mind I recreate
If there was a way to get back
This feeling of chase..of chase
All that I need is this moment
This moment..

And a tune to start the day.

Doesnt matter if the world outside is gloomy, if you're contended inside then nothing can change that.

Another Day Turns Into Night

Yea... havent been updating much lately. It was the final weeks of my semester and as usual, the crazy workload. Wouldnt have been as crazy if I have been managing my timing nicely from the beginning. But being the procrastinator that I am, work isnt work until it is at the last minute. My presentations were on Thursday. both of them in the same day back to back. Super tiring, but its OVER! this is the end of my degree life. Gonna miss it, I can feel it. Wish I was back in foundation years, sometimes. All the fun and experimental ideas. OH well... ANyways, just realised that I have not announced the new arrival of my lil boy.[Dog of course]

Meet Loki. As of today, he is 11 weeks old. He's one stubborn lil shit. Some say, he matches my character. But as his master, of course I have to tame and control him. Which in someways makes me more stubborn than him. Dont know if its a good thing. haha. Beagles are known for being stubborn and slightly difficult to teach. Perhaps I got him to test myself. And no new dog can replace the old ones. I find myself accidentally calling him Bandit[my old dog]. Maybe its and old habit. But I do miss that fella still. I wonder if this is anywhere near how parents feel about losing one of their child. ok, randomnessss.... 

Everyone's been calling me more often lately... but its not to see me, its to see him. hmmph. *jealous* hehe nah...kidding. I do enjoy my alone time. Now that he's here to keep me company, I really dont need to leave my house.

So anyways, I'm looking to apply for Masters sometimes in November or December for the February intake next year. At the mean time, I'm looking for side projects to work on for fun but mainly its to strengthen my portfolio. HOpefully something interesting comes along. Aight...thats all for now.

REDS REDS REDS!!

Champions Champions!!! Despite playing quite a shit game with Arsenal, all we need is just a point to clinch our 18th title and that is exactly what we got.

Another year, another title. 18th Premiere League title. 11 of them came from Sir Alex's reign. From the results, he has GOT TO BE, the BEST damn manager alive. And there is no better team for me, than the Red Devils. 10 years ago, we were the best team in the world, can we do it again this time? 

*chants* UNITED!! UNITED!! UNITED!!

Do You Believe There Is A Limit, To How Fast A Man Can Run

I dont know if its blogger being annoying or its my connection, but I cant seem to upload pictures...hence the delay in updating. =\

Well..currently in class now waiting for my turn to consult bout my progress. Its week 7 now and progress hasnt been too good. Mainly because 2D animation isnt really my thing. Would have loved to experiment with so much more, especially with video. Need to get my act together and produce portfolios

Edit:

OK... i just realised that I didnt publish the post before leaving class.hahaha.. I'm a genius. Anyways... Its a Friday night.. and I'm home alone. Seeing that Photoshop has been brought up on several occasions and I've splurged 80bucks on magazines, I decided to open up photoshop and test my rusty skills.

I've always liked the dirty grungy style and I was trying to make a desktop wallpaper..just for fun....so...

this was what I came up with.... when u look closer, theres alot of mistakes. Some parts are retarded.ahhaha but..Oh WELL.... And I couldnt decide which one suits better, so I made a few copies.

One which has less detail in the back. A much cleaner treatment....

And another one that is... similar to the first one...except that the color is slightly lighter.. Cant seem to see much of a difference here.

I sense that its not really complete... but to add more things to it would just complicate the composition and might just ruin the entire thing instead of doing any good. I would love feedbacks or perhaps a collaboration with someone??? haha. ok.. I'm done for the night.

Last note: I've got myself a new phone, since my current contract is about to end. Its the N95i. Might have been an impulse buy, I dont need a new phone but.. its nice to have a change =) I hope the phone isnt smarter than me, coz it says SMARTPHONE when I connected it to my comp via bluetooth.haha ok, lame. Off to bed now. Nights.

How long will it take to mend this broken heart?
I’m fading
Is there any way we can undo this silence?

Undo this silence
Baby I’m breaking down

Pulser - Undo This Silence

I’m Amazed We’ve Come This Far

Seems theres been quite a few events and festivals goin on around Melbourne recently, not that I was very aware of it. But on weekends, when you have nothing much to do, its nice to just take your camera out and go around. Escape the mundane routines that we succumb to every other day. My Flickr account has been left abandoned for awhile. Need to go around and take more pictures. The last thing I uploaded was from Dandenong trip, late last year.

So, last sat me and the rest went to Carlton Garden to check out this pillow fight event. It was pretty funny. So many people actually brought their pillows, some even bought new pillows! As it went on, just like you would have guessed, feathers and cottons all came flying out. No shit.. but there were just too much movement around to take decent photos.

There was this kid, that was really cute. Too small to join the rest of the adults, so he's just picking up whatever thats on the floor, entertaining himself.

Isnt life so much easier through the eyes of a child?

Being in your own world and not a care about anything else.

Letting other people do the worrying for you. Blissful aint it? To always smile that way and know that when you smile, its because you're really feeling happy, instead of masking all your emotions.

Its the 6th of April... One year ago today,  I witnessed a passing of someone I knew. Time flies, but the thoughts and memories does not fly too far from you. It was him, that opened my eyes to bigger pictures. It was then that I realised that life is short and fragile. It was then that I learned to not just live your days doing nothing and being aimless. Its about living it for a purpose. Appreciate what you've all got, you'll never know how long you're able to hold on to it. I hope you're doing well, Andrew.

Ok... me is Lazy to do anything now. Oh also I should remind people who are not aware, that daylight saving it over. So its back to 2 hours ahead from home[Msia]. Makes it seem like we're closer now, dont you think?.....or not.. Anyways, its the Easter holidays this weekend. Lets see if I can manage to squeeze in time some shoots. Aight... till the next time.

Sailing away from me like melting snow in my hair
I miss your touch,
Trying to sew up a love that was built on the sun
I miss you so much
Like a fire burns to embers
I know this is where it ends
In the ashes we are dying
almost strangers only friends

Above & Beyond - Far From In Love

This Love is Difficult, But Its Real

Been searching for new shades recently. No, actually I havent been searching.. it was just... one of those days, when you've got this ITCH of walking into a shop and setting yourself up for a trap.. I've had my eyes set on this Oakley pair called Juliet for some time now. But its very costly. And I cant...bear to fork out that much cash for a pair of shades. So I walked into Oakley shop, and being itchy and all... started picking out a few pairs to try on, for FUN! and what do u know.. I got hooked on one of em, called Flak Jacket. With iridium lenses, it costs 250AUD. A tad bit painful.. but beats Juliet...Sigh..... JULIETTTT~~~

Let me show you what Juliet Looks like....

And I said "Marry me, Juliet. you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know."

Ducati Juliet which is... 520AUD

And...Polarized Juliet which is 580AUD

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."

And so it is.... Just like you said, it would be.... 

I'll go for my rebound,

Flak Jacket.

Ok, I'm getting REAL LAME here. But BITE ME. I'm in a dilemma. Well... not so much in a dilemma. Its not like I'm choosing between them. I know I'll never get Juliet. I'm just whining coz I like that shit so much. But oh well. Flak Jacket will have to do for me now. Until mAYBe when I start getting my ass to work and earning my own....maybe maybe. Ok... gonna go take a nap. I might just bring Flak Jacket home today. =D till then...

Bitter Cold Within

Well well, I think my blog is getting a little lonely these days. I hardly update, maybe because there isnt anything really interesting thats been happening to me.  I guess as we age, we have less excitement, less drama, less.... everything. When everything is just set in place, being "stable" and all... In other words, mundane. Not that I'm complaining, really. Dont get me wrong. What I enjoy most now is quality time. Whether it be with myself or a few close mates. Maybe it is now, that I learn to enjoy life for what it is. 

I'm back to reminding myself that... Nothing lasts forever. Everything ends, eventually. And it reminds me everyday that I need to appreciate all of the things and people around me before it all disappears. But the tricky part to that, is knowing when to let go. Knowing that I should never hold on to things to tightly. And I was saying earlier, that I need to appreciate things and yet learn to not hold on to it? Sounds like some tricky mind-fucking puzzle doesnt it?

Anyways, if I havent mentioned already, well then I'll mention it again. I go to the gym twice in a week n pay 40AUD for 30minutes of "torture" each session. I still dont fully understand how people LOVE to pay money to be "tortured". But like I said before, its 2009 and its time for a change. I'm gonna start stepping out of the comfort zone and I'm gonna try new things. Even if its just a small change. But with every small step, it slowly makes a difference in the end. I miss the times, back in school where we were all so active in sports and all. I would love to get back into sports, just for the fun of it. Doubt I can take anything competitive anymore. haha.

So its a Friday night, and everyone back home was in Zouk for uncle Fono's gig. I could only imagine myself being there. It breaks me everytime to miss his set, because no matter how great the lineups are for an event,the best nights are always with the best company, my "family". And its times like these, that I miss them even more. I hope you guys enjoyed the set on my behalf. It would be at least another 8 gigs or so that I will miss this entire year. I dread the distance, sometimes. Oh well...thats life anyways.

Random thought of the day.... when people say or do something nice to/for you, is it because they did it out of courtesy/obligation or is it really from the heart?

You are still a whisper on my lips
A feelin' at my fingertips
That's pullin' at my skin

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Without you
Without you

Dirty Vegas - Days Go By

Is It Cold Where You Are

I was bored and did this personality test from one of the sites taken from some facebook notes. And this was my answer....

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education:

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

I think... some are quite spot on.. and some are just.... I dont know. Not sure if its right or wrong hehehe.

Baby Get Shaky After School

There was an earthquake last night in Melbourne. A 4.6 on the Richter scale. Nothing too dangerous but it surely wasnt mild. Buttt.....fortunately  or... unfortunately, I didnt feel anything. We were out of the city, in Ikea buying some furniture. Must have been too busy to feel anything. hmm, would have been nice to be a part of history. Or at least I could say that I've felt an earthquake before. Oh bummer... 

Here... if you want to read more about it....

I tear through the walls for you..
It’s you only you, no other...
and though it may seem I’m not with you,
but I’m here...and I wonder....

Wind closes in, there’s a storm above..
Leaves fly away, it’s my love.
Reach and I grab I can’t let you go.
Hand slips away it’s so cold..

Majai - Phoria

And stir within me every source of love.

I'm currently blank... and have been feeling abit blank for awhile now. Cant seem to get my head around things. I feel like I'm walking on a frozen lake, in the middle of winter. It's all frozen solid, you feel safe but yet, at the same time at the back of your head, you keep thinking that its gonna crack. But you still choose to walk on it anyways. And then.... now what?

We're all designers one way or another. Everything begins with a line.

Sometimes, with just a simple stroke or splatter is all it takes to create something beautiful.

Sometimes, beauty needs no words, explanations or conversations.

Finding your major, is like finding a purpose in life.

Finding a passion ,is like finding yourself.

Far other dreams my erring soul employ,
Far other raptures, of unholy joy:
When at the close of each sad, sorrowing day,
Fancy restores what vengeance snatch'd away,
Then conscience sleeps, and leaving nature free,
All my loose soul unbounded springs to thee.
Oh curs'd, dear horrors of all-conscious night!

Eloisa to Abelard by Alexander Pope

Saturday, wait. Sunday Always Comes Too Late

It is strange, but I found myself doing something out of the ordinary...and by that, I meant out of my comfort zone, something that I wouldnt find myself doing. I went to Mist, Bangsar with now housemate, Tracy Too Too and her bunch of friends.

It started out a tad bit awkward as I havent met some of the guys and the girls, I've only met them less than 3 times ever. And then the drinks came in.....

The night started off with House music, pumping some beats into my veins, getting me all in the mood. Slowly, they started changing it over to R&B... which, I dont understand why, but it just makes me drink more than usual. This explains all the drunk, passout times back in Maison.heh, but yeah....back to the topic...Alcohol brings everyone together. Yes it does.

By the 5th jugs of beer or so..... I guess it was suffice to say, that I was getting comfortable. =D

And everyone loves me.

Makes me a little freaked out sometimes, so many people popping into my safety circle and all... but, its all good. They seem like nice people and they dont really want to rape me.haha

But well... all in all... it was surprisingly fun, to hang out with people that I hardly know. For once, I actually enjoyed myself without being bias. Thanks guys, for making my night, and I know I gave a few people a little more work to do...sorry bout that. It was a really nice night.

Then it was dinner with the Sound System... Its really hard to get them all together. Even after being back here for 2 months, I hardly ever got to see Smalls and Shannie. They're all busy working women now. It was only when Jocelyn got back, and with the... 2weeks-only-back-home power, everyone made it for dinner, which I guess I should be proud off. haha

Dinner was at Porto Romano, which I recommended. I like that place. Good food, nice environment. Just the way I like it. Also, indirectly we are celebrating 10 years of our friendship. And because of that, they took the advantage to super camwhore.

Being "creative" taking pictures with our makeshift tripod, which was 2 ashtrays and an empty glass, all stacked up. We had people coming up to us offering help to take our group photo, because we probably looked too idiotic. But, I'd say... as shameless as we all are, taking pictures with ashtrays and glasses for tripods, made it all more fun.

I know I never give a proper smile much. But.. hahaha thats the way you all love me. So when I do actually smile properly, you guys would appreciate it better. haha.. Ok, I'm just crapping here, trying to waste some time and keep my blog alive. Oh well.. thats all for now. Its Thursday now... 6 days away from my departure....

Sometimes.... you wish that people would know how you feel without having you say anything. Times that you wish, they would know how important they are to you....hmm..random thoughts...

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's friday i'm in love

The Cure - Friday I'm In Love

Let Me Know Is Your Heart Still Beating

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake chinese rubber plant
In fake plastic earth.
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plants
Just to get rid of itself.
And it wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out.

Arghhh crap, damn Radiohead songs are killing me. Think I may have overindulged in them at this point. I'm having mixed feelings at the moment. Its the 6th today, and I have less than 2 weeks before leaving back to Melbourne. I guess in terms of achieving what I wanted to do, then yeah I have pretty much done everything on the list. Road trip to Melaka, a short trip to Penang, Genting...all done. I guess, by coming home this holiday, I've learnt quite abit and I can say now that... I'm ready to let it all go and move on to a new life in Melbourne. Think its about time I start thinking about myself and do something for myself.  I need a stronger purpose in life.*takes deep breathe* Ok, I'm a soldier now, ready to fight!

Sigh.. Im missing out on a really nice event happening tomoro in Melb. Alex MORPH, Kyau & Albert, Thrillseekers and Solarstone! Maybe I should have booked an earlier flight back grrr....Well anyways, I'm just trying to make the best out of the last week that I have here. After that, I need to get my head focused on my work. blehhh. No more chilling around, wasting time. 2009 resolution..? hmm...Aight... time to turn to some rock songs. Still taking that break from Trance. =)

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

I Am Damaged At Best

I remember now, why I loved my solitary lifestyle back then. Its the pain of losing the things that are close to you or people that are dear to you. You sit there quietly watching time slowly take away everything, watch it all drift away from you. Its that pain that I, up till now, cant seem to accept. Why are people so difficult to depend on? The probability of things changing is so complex, the risks are so high...The winning pot may be beautiful but the losing end, is so unbearable. But its a choice, it was MY choice. Maybe I made a mistake, am I paying for it now?

I know, routine changes, habit evolves. It may have been insignificant to me when I was back here because I dont see the big difference,because I was part of that change as well. Have I become invisible?.... or has it always been that way? I'm struggling not to think this way, not to be selfish. I still want to call this place home. I want to feel happy coming back here, to the familiar smell, the familiar faces, familiar sights and sounds. I cant keep coming back here and feel that I'm losing bit by bit of everything that I've ever known.

I'm a person of extreme low self-esteem. I know, I need alot to feel good enough. I know I tried alot to be good enough. I wish it would be enough. And if that is not, then I dont know what else to be. I cant slip back into the dark state of mind, shine me a path, please? Trust me, I dont want to sit here curled in a freaking corner. I DO want to get back up on my feet, I just need somewhere to start. Give me the doors, and I will give you my decision.....

 

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
And I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose, they're still looking for life

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I'm hangin' on to the words you say
You said that I will, will be ok

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home

Lifehouse - Broken

My Love It Had So Many Empty Spaces

I feel certain emotions at the time when I need it the least. Right now, I feel like withdrawing myself from people. Its complicated and I dont really know how to put into words what I feel. There is this whole battle going on in my head about my decisions, about who I am and so much more. People all around me, makes a difference to me, friends enrich my life. But yet I cant seem to shake off this fear that I have towards them. All of these battles are making me weary. I'm really reallllyyyy tired of all these shit, thats probably the big motivation to just fuck off, get out of here and travel around. There has been NOTHING permanent in my life so far.. so why should I be the permanent one? 

I realized that I cannot keep anything too close to me. The only way I can be normal and casual is that I keep everyone at bay. No one enters the inner circle. That way, people can come and go as they like, and I wont feel the pinch. Sounds safe I guess...? Its been awhile since I last felt the way I do now. Maybe its something about coming back home and going through the same old routine. Maybe its just about me not being able to accept changes around me. I need to find a way to deal with this. I need to be a variable in life. I need to change. I dont mean to be an emotional retard here right now, but it has really been awhile, so give me a damn break. I'm so annoyed at myself feeling this way, its not even funny. It always starts from a small matter and one thing leads to another. I'm sitting down right here feeling fucked. But you know....theres always time and space to stop and take time to think things through, turn around and leave it all behind. Think....2009...I will think about doing something for myself instead.. of worrying about other things. If you want to make a change, always start from yourself, right? I'll try to see that through. thats all for now... just needed to let it out =) 

Where Do You Turn, When You Can't Buy It

Wokay... its time for the post mortem of the recent Singapore trip. More like annual trip. First and foremost, I need to say that.. this is my 3rd year, traveling down south for Zoukout. Based on the past 2 years, it gets better every year. I was hoping the same could be said, for this year. Furthermore it was Above & Beyond. My ultimate favourite DJs. Well.. I'll tell u later on, what my verdict is.hehe.

Alright! first up, we began....from the night before? The Penang gang came down to KL a night before which was, Friday. Hung out around Pyramid, had Korean BBQ for dinner, and then to Sid's Pub, for Snake Bite! I think I might have had a LITTLE too much, swallowed the foam at the end, and threw up half of my last pint. Went back home, and continued a little bit more. Woke up the next day with a bloody hang over coz I forgot to drink water before falling asleep. Rendavous point was at Centrepoint McDonalds, for breakfast. I had...Porridge...yuck. And so, by 10.30am, we were off!

Arrived, late evening,checked in, forced myself for a 15mins power nap, dress up, rushed, stressed and carls jr. But, all is good, the moment we entered! The attendance of the night, was incredible. This years event was amazing just by having the company by itself!!

Melbourne picture! of all the people that are and have been to Melb! =) Of course, we're missing out the usual few goats...Wish u were here, guys.

Oh, our 1 year anniversary! Time flies. I reckon I lost weight compared to last year...haha err.. cant say the same for the one next to me tho. hehehehe =p

Our FiRst Zoukout! No.52345345 Sharp photo. This one in particular, is a cooool photo.Good job, squirrel!

Ms. Dubai. Who... SADLY missed A&B by half an hour! hahaha.

Raining Trio! We're still missing you, Slinky! You're always with us. Sorry bout the..slightly evil expression.hehehe

The 2 who made my night..... Jono and Tony... We miss you, Paavo! Guess, no one needs to guess how I felt that night now, right? In short, no words could express how I felt. Song after song, it was like a big tidal wave, hitting me, one after another. Breath taking! And not to mention, I was close to tears AGAIN. Up till now, if anyone asks me what I thought about the night, all I can do is let out this... sigh.. with a big smile. Thats what you call, a satisfying smile! =)


On Monday evening, as we bid our goodbyes to our very nice neighbouring country, we travelled back to Melaka, for dinner! Satay celup!

It was good! albeit my stomach not being in the best conditions. Another memorable trip to wrap up this year. Maybe its because more than half the entourage this year were the same from last years. It kinda makes everyone feel so....i dont know... bonded? Its like everything we did, we think about what happened exactly a year ago, and we wished everyone happy anniversary. Ahh ok... I dont know what I'm mumbling about here, all I wanna say is that, its been a good year all in all, I guess. With the new friends and all. Well... thats gonna go into the next post. A reflection post. =) till then.....

What can you believe in now
With no love to follow?
Now that you have lost yourself
Oh, can anything help you now?

Just let your fears go
You might find your way back home
Let your fears go
You might find that you’re not lost

The Night Is Young

Its been 5 months since I first left KL for Melbourne. And in that months, I've seen and I feel, I've done quite alot. Which explains why time flies by so quickly. I'm gonna take this moment to recall what I've done and seen over the past months. WARNING!! If you are on quota, I suggest that you are sure you have enough.hehe.

SO.... In the first WEEK that I arrived in Melbourne, I visited this place called Bubbles.

Obviously, something very out of the ordinary for me. It was not too bad, just no my kinda thing. =)

Then the good news came. In August, they were gonna start trance nights on a weekly basis.

It was called Infinity and it was held at Queens Bridge Hotel (QBH) and I have no idea...if its really a hotel or not.hahaha. Well, anyways, our joy was short-lived. It closed down after just 4 short weeks, due to fights that led to 2 deaths. Oh well.. it was good while it lasted.

We also had several visitors coming over to Melbourne both for work and leisure. First one came in a form of...an old man who is... young at heart.hehehe Uncle Fono.. Cant recall if I took pictures =p (sorry kor!)

The came miss Ng, who swapped flights with other ppl to come visit me. Chapel Street is EviL, no?

Then it was shannie's 21st bday dinner. I think people who lives in the suburb has alot of friends... maybe the further you stay the more friends you'll have. Frankston's quite far right? ehehehe

And then after her dinner, we went for drinks at this bar that closes late, little did I know, shannie cooked up a lil plan for me. I was surprised and touched. Thank you people!

Not too long after that, Eugene the Lamer came over as well, for 2 weeks. In that 2 weeks, there was alcohol almost every single day.

It was also to celebrate all 3 of our birthdays. September babies yo!

We celebrated at Seven, and I was never so FuCKed, in my LIFE! Really drank my brains out.

During the same time, we went on a road trip as well. To Mt. Dandenong! Stopped by midway to check out the tulips, as they say, during that time, flowers would be nicely bloomed. Well, the girls got pretty excited bout it. But flowers, are just flowers.Oh well...

And up to the peak we went...beautiful scenery...good weather...

Oct 4th 2008, Godskitchen!

We survived Godskitchen! If i'm not mistaken, we were there for 9 hours. Event ended at 7am and we walked 15minutes or so to the nearest train station. That was the hardest 15 minutes of my LIFE! at 7 Degress wearing shorts and polo shirt. We are the champions!

After Godskitchen, there were no events left and we were back at Seven on bored, quiet weekends.

this one, was for Melbourne Cup. Theme night, something like that. Should have seen me in a suit! hehehe..hmm... there is another event....Halloween... which I choose not to post it up,coz every idiot has had a good laugh at it! no no... moving along.....

And then November came. We had MORE visitors!

3 little monkeys came for Global Gathering, 22 November 2008

We went on another road trip. this time. Phillip Island. Also added to this trip is another visitor from NEWCASTLE. So we had, 2 Williams, A squirrel and a Panda.


That was all good fun. And with the end of that trip, it was also time for me to go home. So yes. I'm home. I have been for a week. hehe. So yeah.. that was a very long way of saying that I'm back. I'm missing the good old Malaysian FOOD. So lets go EAT! =)
