Day before school starts...
Hello-o-o... =)
Went to Brisbane City church today. It was SO identical to City Harvest la! Really! The worship team is good man! And that really brings people into the service. But me, having been brought up in a traditional chinese church, am still not used to such forms of worship. So my search for a chinese traditional church continues. In fact, I've already found a few so will try 'em out week by week to see which one I like. Haha! Feels like I'm shopping for clothes. Heh! =D
After church, DG fetched me & Shu Xian to Queen Street where we had to wait for Jared they all to come at around 12.30pm. So we decided to go browse around in Borders meanwhile. She called Barry when we were in there and ha! Barry was in Borders too! So cool! Yeah, so we walked around Borders looking for him but couldn't. Then when she was about to call him again, we spotted his feet jutting out from behind a pillar. Haha! Yep! So the 3 of us got ourselves some books & sat down & read & waited till the rest showed up. At 1pm, DL (previously known as LHD) showed up at Borders to say the Vivian & Jared they all will be late. So alright... we browsed some more... fine by me! =) Yep, and when they arrived & we met, we took 130 from under Queen St there to MacGregor for our lunch first. DL brought us to this Taiwanese Food Court... Jared & Guoqian had "shûi jiâo miàn" for AUD$7.90... and I had "níu nán fàn" for the same price. Haha! Comes with a free drink, but it's still way expensive! Oh wells, food here's like that... Next time I'll cook like, every meal.
Anyways, after lunch, we headed backwards towards Sunny Bank where A-Mart was. It's supposed to have cheap furniture. Yeah. And we ordered these foam mattresses that were 140mm (14cm) thick with a coal colored cloth wrapping it. $45.95 each. The thinner one, 120mm (12cm) thick, was an ugly blue color & I didn't like it, so I paid $6 more for the extra 2cm, which I don't think makes much of a difference anyways... just the color. Haha! Yeah, and we ordered 3 study desks that were like 1210 x 730 x 600mm in dimension... 3 drawers included and 1 comes with a lock. Costs $79.95 only, and u can add $20 for a not-so-comfy cushioned swivel chair that does not lean back, cannot adjust height. So yeah, we didn't get that chair. And that's all the furniture shopping we did today.
Took a bus back to Southbank, Barry went home, the rest of us walked on to the CityCat ermm... harbour? Wharf? Yeah... wharf... haha! Or platform, if you'd call it that, and took the CityCat back to Guyatt [something]. It was evening le... no, late afternoon. So I took my camera out & took some shots. See!
Here's what a CityCat looks like:
Oh, by the way, here're the photos from last night's steamboat!
Yummy eh? Haha!
Anyways, came back & slacked & chit chatted for abit... like 2h or so... Jasmine & Vivian were saying I look alot like this guy they know... so they went online & searched Friendster for his photo, then they say look alike but I'm a much more shuài version. Haha! *beams* I'm shuài leh!!! Haha! Wait... no I'm not. I'm just shuài-er than that guy but I'm still not shuài. *bleah*
Tmr school start le... how how? Apprehensive leh. My course is like, such a nobody course... On 1 hand, it's good coz you're closer to the lecturers & u learn more when they teach 1-on-1. On the other hand, if u don't get along well with ur coursemates, then there aren't many other coursemates to try to get along with instead. But I'll leave my worries to Him Who is above. Oh ya, I'm told to bring a plastic bag to bring home some chemicals of some sort, and a big bag to bring back a pinning box & a setting box. Know what it brings to mind? I'm gonna be an insect taxidermist! Haha! Now, what's that big word, u might ask... A taxidermist is someone who kills animals & stuffs them & preserves them so that they are frozen forever in whoever's home. Something like that la. So cool right? I'll be able to make insect thingys that I can keep forever! Yay! Haha!
Did I mention that my timetable's kinda slack? I'll type it out:
Monday: 9am - 11am
Tuesday: 8am - 9am
Wednesday: 8am - 1pm with an hour break at 9am
Thursday: 12pm - 1pm
Friday: 10am - 11am, 2pm - 5pm.
Haha! Even poly also not so slack lor... Oh but then I've got a "Flexible Delivery" module whereby I'm given a CD-ROM to self study. Weird out...
I better sleep early tonight. Lessons tmr! Cheers mate!
He can't get her out of his mind... not that he wants to. He needs a hug, he realised... Pretty badly. Her hug. And he misses her soft-as-a-feather touch, her more-fragrant-than-Thai rice smell, her more-beautiful-than-diamonds eyes, and her sweeter-than-wine lips... and he loves her still. And he's thinking of her all the time... like, ALL the time. And he longs for the day when he doesn't have to type in black anymore...
His girl friends said that she was very cute! Haha! Yay!
Love me

Saturday again. This is so fast!
Wow! Woke up at 11.30am today! Actually, I've been waking up quite late the past few days. Haha! Yeah. So, we went to Toowong again, to pay the money (first 2 week's rent & bond) to the agency. But we can only move in like 4th March, which is next Saturday. So meanwhile, we're gonna beg Shu Xian's friend to let us stay on till then, at no increase in rent. Haha! Or something like that, I dunno. I'm fine with almost anything as long as I hv a place to stay.
After that we went LHD's place again. Haha! His place is like a favourite hangout la... Everyone goes there! Chatted & talked for a couple of hours, then I changed my program! Not taking Nanotech liao since it's gonna cost me another half a year of time & living expenses. Taking Entomology & Parasitology now... haha! Yeah. Anyways, we decided to have a steamboat dinner tonight, so we upped & went to Chinatown to get the ingredients for it! Came back, prepped, setup, cooked, ate! Yay! It was a nice steamboat... 9 ppl ate! Yeah... Does this sound like I'm having a good time? Haha! It's not that bad la, actually. At least there's like a group of peeps I can hang out with already, even before school starts! Not bad eh?
Well, after dinner, some ppl play PS2, some play laptop, most of us just sat around & chatted about our new place & the furnishings & where to get good & cheap deals etcetera... until 11.30pm, and we came home after that...
I'm like a scribe, just recording the events, not the emotions lor. Hai... It's because it's late & I need to wake up early to go church tmr. Oh, did I mention? I'm going with Shu Xian & David (not LHD) to their church. Brisbane City Church... See how it's like first. Then maybe next week will meet Louis & Mei.
Alright alright... I need to go le. It's so late can! 1am?! Wah lau!
He sees the stars every night & he thinks of her. The position is different here, so he imagines her position when she looks up to the same heavenly bodies he sees, and though it brings no sense of touch, it warms his heart just imagining them doing it together.
"Stars shining bright above you,
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you".
Birds singing in a sycamore tree;
Dream a little dream of me!
Say nighty night and kiss me.
Just hold me tight and tell me you miss me.
While I'm alone and blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Stars fading but I linger on dear,
Still craving your kiss!
I'm longing to linger till dawn dear,
Just saying this...
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me."

Course Trouble...
Heya!
Haha! Met 2 lecturers today... one, an entomology expert, the other, a chemistry expert. And apparently, the chem expert (Dr Apple) doesn't seem too keen on me taking nanotech with my limited background knowledge in chemistry. He's like suggesting I take a pre-requisite to a core level 3 course lor. The catch is that the pre-requisite & the core are only offered in Semester 2, and since I can't take both at the same time (well, I can but he strongly discourages it), I would need 2 Semester 2's to do them, and to do 2 Semester 2's, I would require 2 years of udergraduate coursework instead of the original 1 half. School fees would still be the same though, but I need another half year of living expenses. How? Wah lau... then I would need like 3yrs to get a degree with honours lor. That's quite long.
So now I'm contemplating dropping Nanotech and taking another field as my other major. Why do I keep wanting a double major? Coz to get a major in Entomology, I would take 1.5yrs of undergraduate coursework due to the availability of certain core courses in different semesters. But I only need 8 units of entomology courses to get a major! So in 3 semesters, I am allowed to take like 24 units, why not study more in the same amount of time? Haha! Yeah... And since I drop nanotech, I'm thinking Parasitology? That's a close link to Entomology, no? And it's got some overlaps in the required courses for a major in that field. It's like killing 2 birds with 1 stone! Anyways, I'll just ponder upon that tonight & tomorrow. I will decide, latest by Sunday night.
K, enough abt sch. Went Toowong again, then went LHD's place. Took a sub to Brunswick, where Chinatown is. Haha! We just went to this shop & took lotsa new-flavoured instant noodles & whatever chinese groceries they wanted, then we left le. Wah, the shop even had durians lor! Like, whole unshelled durians, put together with the frozen packs of crabsticks, sotong balls, fishballs etc. Haha! Oh, and LHD said that ppl couldn't sell fermented beancurd in Australia (or in Queensland) or they'll be jailed! Haha! Reason? It's too smelly a delicacy to enjoy! Haha! Anyways, yeah, went to put all the grocery back in LHD's place, then quickly took the sub to Brisbane CBD again. Had KFC there (Singapore's KFC is surprisingly better tasting!) for dinner. $24.95 for 10pc chinken, 1 large MOS-burger-kind fries, 1 large pop-corn chinken sized box of potato mashies, an equivalent of 1.5 large coleslaw. Good deal eh? Haha! Yeah, well. Anyways, KFC here isn't finger lickin' good. They didn't dare print it on their packages. Haha! Yeah, so after that, we walked around some more, walk all the way to across the river, enjoyed the breeze, enjoyed the night market there, took CityCat back to LHD's place to take the groceries home. Ended up chatting till 11.05pm then quickly rushed to catch the 11.15pm bus home. Haha! So here I am, still pondering over my course. Hai...
Oh, here's an Australian sign I saw at the subway. Their signs are so informal! Haha!
The sky is so crisp & clear! It's like, there's nothing between me & them, not even air!
He wipes her tears away and kisses her on her forehead. Don't cry my darling. We'll pull through together. And he hugs her and wishes so much for her to be really here. Then he could bring her to beautiful places! What more could a man ask for than to please his girl.
They say love is hard to find. Not really, he learned today. It's just that people look in the wrong places. It's there all the time, where you can't see it... under your nose!

Found a place loh!!!
Hi guys!
YAY!!! Finally found a house! Got the one on Sanford St. It's a ground floor, 2 bedroom one at $330 per week. Abit steep but it's alright. We're sharing amongst 5! Haha! 3 in 1, 2 in 1. Ah wells, but now we're like thinking we might get more? So we're delaying payment & waiting to see if we get a bigger one at a more convenient place. Yeah...
Anyways, met Dr Insect today. Haha! No, that's not his real name. But it's his expertise anyways. So yeah, he advised me about subjects regarding entomology already. Tmr meeting Dr Appleton (no, he's not an expert in apples) to advise me about the overall picture. I have to enrol & sign on & pay school fees tomorrow le... Oh ya, and arrange my timetable. Hope everything goes well! *prays*
Then I met everyone else at Toowong. Went to LHD's (Long Hair David's) place... waited for more ppl to arrive. In the end, the total number is 10. And 2 cars. So we drove to eat lunch... fried rice & chinken. Delicious! Haha! Yay! And then went bank to get a cheque... then went back LHD's place again, and waited for dunno what... just hanging out la, then around 5+ we headed to Indooroopilly Shopping Mall. Haha! Looks so much like Marion Shopping Centre in Adelaide can! All the shops also alike! Even smells like it! Yeah, we walked around the place till we're like dead tired, then had Hungry Jack's for dinner... Barry had KFC with LHD and he ate like 5 pieces of chinken la! Wah piang eh! Legend can! Haha! And we were cheering him on to eat the last 6th one... but he said no, even though he's not full! Can u believe it? Haha! Crap!
So anyways, after that we shopped for some groceries & then headed home le. Saw this on the bus... haha! Weird sign!

Yeah, and now I'm gonna sleep. Short entry tonight. =) G'night ev'rybody!

On the day that you were born,
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true...
... That is why, all the [boys] in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you."

Still no house, still no course...
This week seems to be a down week for me. *frown* Attended the academic advisor interview but the lecturer doesn't seem to be able to help. Not that he's no good or anything... it's just that my field of interest is not his field of expertise. So well, he arranged for me 2 other appointments (tmr morning 10am & Friday 12.45pm) to meet the Entomology and Nanotech "experts". AND, we didn't manage to get the Bayliss St house lor! And apparently some of Jared's classmates got it. Haha! What a coincidence. Anyways, just filled up the application form for the Sylvan Rd one... it's a nice homey place in Toowong. Close to everything. Cosy... aircon... A little bit less than perfect & we're dying to get it! But it's a low chance mate... Hence, we've applied for some more, like 3 or 4 more? Yeah...
Walked around campus today... had a free BBQ lunch, walked the outskirts, took some pictures:
One of the lakes at UQ... Sun, shade, breeze, view, birds, babes... haha!
Haha! Refugees we are! And we're studying at Refuge Island! How appropriate.
Nice? Haha! I thought the Refuge Island was weird... and quite fitting for our situation now. Haha! Anyways, walked the insides, browsed the CCA booths. There was this Medieval Club lor! So interesting! Haha! Like, everything they wear, use & eat are like from Medieval Times... So Robin Hood! Haha! Cool lor! But dunno what they do with all the costumes & armour & weapons. So I just walked on... wanna join dance! Lindy Hop! And Cha Cha & Waltz & Quickstep & Salsa & Samba etcetera etcetera! So cool can! I really really REALLY wanna join! Then I walked on & saw Hip Hop Club! BREAKDANCE! Haha! I ALSO wanna join! SO many things to join... but study is still my priority. So I walked on... on & on until I reached the OCF booth! OCF stands for Overseas Christian Fellowship! At first I didn't notice it then I glanced at this girl's name tag just as I was going off. Guess who? It was Mei! Who's Mei? Mmm... Mao's friend whom I was supposed to call when I was still at SG. Haha! Yeah, so we chatted awhile and all... she said she'd help me look out for available units. Yay! And if we found an unfurnished house, we could get furniture from Louis too! He's got loads of 'em. And yeah, I've got to join OCF... otherwise I know my spirit will just dwindle & die. Fellowship is important to me... I know.
So Jared & Guoqian finished their lab thingy, so we went out to Toowong again to apply for some more places. Tonight Vivian's coming back to stay with us... yeah. So she wanted to cook for us! Yay! But we met Jared's old classmate, Charmaine. And she was alone, so we had Subway for dinner instead. Yeah. Bought cornflakes for tmr morning and headed home.
Just now internet was down lor... and now it's back up, it's like intermittent can! So irritating! With a connection like that, I couldn't make a call at all lor. Sheesh. Anyways, I'm just gonna post this tonight... for those of u who read my blog, you'd be updated. =)
Oh ya! I'm gonna get free $900!!! Haha! Mr Lee said he'd give it to me even whilst I'm still here! Haha! Cool! Ta!
She's got dance competition today. And they were the best so far! Yay! He's so proud of her! He knows she's good, and she'll try her best, and they'll be one of the top! Yeah! But he's still worried about her injured leg. Take care ok? He's always thinking of her... wishing she'd be there with him.
Love me

Dunno what to study!!!
*sigh* Went school this morning to collect student card. WAH SEH!!! SO LO-O-O-ONG lor the queue... crazy. Think it'd have taken like 2h for us to get the card if we queued up there & then. So we left & looked for our individual faculties to ask about our enrolment & our courses. I couldn't do anything today though, so I had an appointment made for tmr 11.45am instead. Gonna meet the academic advisor to talk about what I'm gonna study. Entomology... haha! My fav! And nanotech! Why do ppl say it's such different fields? I can see how these 2 fields will be so interleaved lor. =) Yay! So excited!
Anyways, went Toowong after that. Went to bank to get our bank statements so that we can apply for more houses. Wah lau... can't find a place to stay know! It's so crap lor. The system is such that you have to inspect the place, then apply for it, then wait for the owner to choose who they want in their house. Stupid. Then the application have to wait 2 days to process lor, and meanwhile we cannot find another place in case we get that place & we can't reject it. Hai... But we're desperate, cannot care so much. So we wanted to just apply for as many as we can find, but we found none. That's the sitch we're in lor. Terrible.
Then we found this place in Indooroopilly. $275/week. But the place is quite small. And the lady is quite irritating... So we told her we'd consider it till the morning. If we wanted it, we'd just pay up & the house is ours on Sunday. But Jared didn't like it... and the lady feels suspicious. So meanwhile we're still looking lor. Really pray that we'll be able to settle down soon. SCHOOL'S STARTING NEXT MONDAY!!!
Oh ya, got my student card liao! Haha! The background of my picture is purple! Cool! Haha! And I didn't look that bad in this picture... yay! Now I can travel relatively cheaply... *phew*
Looking for a place to stay is hard work man... been walking around the whole day. Now so tired... and I miss home. Well, not home home but home as in the ppl there... *sigh*
He's missing her so much. He needs to hear her voice. But it's not cheap to call her all the time, and he needs to be practical. Still, the missing is not easy to suppress. Tears well up but he holds them in. Some day, he will not hold back. Some day, he cannot hold it back anymore. Then he needs her hug... her warm tender hug... filled with love. O, sweet love...
"I'm just bein' real, you know.
I'm like the sun, I'm tryin' to shine on everybody,
You know what I'm sayin'?
But it's like situation after situation, you know.
So I write about it to get it off my chest, you heard.
Dear [darling], you wouldn't believe what I'm goin' through.
But still I got my head up just like I promised you.
Ever since you left, your baby boy's been dealin' with
Problem after problem, tell me what am I supposed to do?
See, I get lost sometimes, don't understand this place.
Look in the mirror sometimes and see a troubled face.
And then my tears roll down and hit the sink...
...Heaven, I need a hug.
Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug?
Feelin' like a change of heart.
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God.
So shower down on me, wet me with your love!
I need you to take me and lift me up..."

Orientation Day!
Today, Orientation for International First Year Students... Went for it but didn't see Wei Yang leh. Anyways, it was a total waste of time la... except the end part where they issued the OSHC card & the Student ID & PIN. After that, didn't linger in school for long. Went Toowong to meet Vivian to bring us to the bank to open an account. Commonwealth Bank! And we setup a NetBank Account & a Streamline Account... NetBank has an annual interest rate of 5.4% if I have $5k & above in it! Cool! Haha! Then Streamline is just a normal account with ATM card lor. And then we applied for a credit card also, so that we can buy stuff online if needed. Took us about an hour or so in the bank.
After that, everyone was hungry le. But we went on to search the real estate agencies for possible new rental lists with more units or houses. Found 1 on Benson St but couldn't apply for it coz we don't have our bank drafts anymore & the bank couldn't print a statement for us today. SO we shall submit our applications tmr! So we went into Toowong Village to eat lor. I ate this Roast Toast Burger... wow... big sia! Haha! It's like a Carl's Jr Burger can! But no drinks, no fries. Cost me AUD$5.20. After that, went to Coles to shop for some more groceries. Bought milk, pasta, pasta sauce, cheese, fish fingers, ice-cream & soft drinks! That'd be tonight's dinner... no la, not all of it, silly. Haha! Then went to this shop to buy beer. They wanted it, I was ok with it. And then we headed home. Wah... so hot lor the weather!!! Felt like the ice-cream would have melted by the time we got back. But it didn't la.
Anyways, after we put everything in the fridge & cooled off abit, we started to look at our courses online... enrolling & all... wah! So confusing lor! I picked 4 modules but only 1 module has the timetable... I really dunno what that means. Anyways, I'm gonna go school to ask the academic advisors tomorrow. Don't wanna screw up my education here... too expensive to risk that. Haha! As for now, I'm giving up... tired & hot & sticky. And abit hungry too! Which reminds me... I should go cook something soon. It's like 8pm le.
*growls*
She's got dance today. He worries for her injured feet. But he can't make her forgo her favourite activity... and he doesn't want to either. Nevertheless, he's concerned. She'd be tired and he can't be there for her. =( She'd be lonely and he can't send her home. How he wished he was back there with his love, his darling...

Makes no difference who you are,

Sunday without a church..
Didn't manage to go church today... feels so weird... like a Saturday. Saw this church yesterday but I couldn't find it this morning... Maybe I missed a urn or something... I dunno. Anyways, I think I'm gonna call Louis sometime this week to go to his church. At least it'll be a chinese one. =)
Walked around in Brisbane CBD area today... Feels so much like Adelaide's Rundle Mall... 'cept it's much bigger. Yeah, walked around with Jared, Guoqian, Vivian, David & Barry. Look see look see... saw the W800i... so tempted to buy lor. $25/month for 24mths on the cheapest plan that is $29.90/month on 3. Meaning, 3 is a telco. And I get to have the W800i for $25 x 24 = $600 provided I sign a contract of $29.90 per month for 2 years. So per month, I have to pay $29.90 + $25 = $54.90 to get a W800i at the end of 2 years. And then there's the Nokia 7370 also! Like, $10/mth for 24 mths lor! AH-H-H-H!!! I WANT!!! Hai... but down here, I need to spend my money wisely. Else I'd be broke really soon. Oh wells, back to using my loyal 6230. =)
Anyways, David & Barry brought us around today... walked alot, drank smoothies, ate Jap food, go museum, took CityCat (a ferry that transports along the Brisbane River)... And when we finally got home, we were so beat... but we had to cook dinner anyways. Made spaghetti with ham slices in the sauce. And pan-fried chinken nuggets. Oh wells, it's not fantastic but it's eatable. Haha! More of such days to come! In fact, a whole year of it!
Tmr orientation. Need to sleep le. I'll be packing my bag then going to sleep. It's getting late. G'night everybody!
He misses her still. Calling her everyday only eases so much pain. The sky is so clear... The stars shine so brightly and the moon hides shyly behind what little clouds are present. And he wants her to be here with him to enjoy this beautiful sight. To hold her from behind, to stare up at the heavens & say, darling, however beautiful the skies are, you'd always be more beautiful in my eyes...
Love me

First post in Ozzy...
Heya!
1 day never post le... Arrived safely yesterday night... 7.30pm. But went through customs & declaration and all, took us an hour! By the time we met the ppl from UQ, it was 8.30 le. And by the time we got to this place (my friend's friend's friend's place.. Complicated huh?) it was already like 9.45pm. Vivian (friend's friend) had to leave by 10.15pm so she could catch a bus to her another friend's place in Toowong. Oh, did I mention we're in St Lucia? Yeah...
Anyways, was surprised still got so many ppl turn up to send me off lor. Haha! I thought morning will not have so many ppl, then I won't cry. But in fact, these are the ppl who are much closer to me than most of the rest. And it totally makes it harder to not cry. I love you all... girls (Bernice, Gin Gin, Wendy, Shi Ting, Siying and Jo, though you couldn't come on time). And a guy (Zhixiang). Haha! Thank you so much for seeing me off... It really meant alot. *hugs* Really meant alot... And of course, to my army-mates Lester, Andy & LuLu! Haha!
Settled in last night, walked about the vicinity, went to the uni to look about but there wasn't much to look at night, then came home an hour later, then tampered with the internet. Haha! Mucking around with an ADSL modem, a wireless router & 3 laptops. At first like cannot, then Guoqian (friend's friend too) managed to bring it up. We were like, yay! Got internet loh!!! Haha! But I had a drop too much last night and was suffering from abit of a hangover... haha! Had 6 cups of hard liquor on-board.
Anyways, I slept soon after that... Couldn't take it much longer. My headache was getting to me. Haha!
Today! Went Toowong to search for houses... *sigh* So many but all taken by the time we enquired. Competition is tough man. And we couldn't apply for a house if we haven't, in their terms, inspected it. Haha! So because of that, we missed 1 possible house. So in the end, the whole day only got 1 house, and we're pinning our hopes on that one house.
Lunch was a foot-long subway satay chinken sandwich which I ate half & kept half for dinner. And the weather was weird can? I had a large cup of drink, but in the end, I never peed it out lor... And a few hours later, I was thirsty again. Where did all the water go?! Crap! Anyways, everything else is so expensive that Mac's became the cheapest, most value meal. Shite! I still dislike Mac's...
Early evening, went to Coles to get some groceries to last us through tomorrow & tonight & the next coupl'a days. Coke was surprisingly cheap... $1.66 for 2L! Haha! Anyways, we just bought some stuff to cook instant then we headed home.
Reach home nothing to do one lor! It's Saturday & we're like, stuck at home with nothing to do! Wah lau!!!
Help us... find a house, find entertainment, find a house, find something to do... help!
He misses her so much but it was lessened a wee bit when he called her & talked for a few minutes. A worthy man never makes a girl cry. Is that true? Then why does he make her cry? Don't cry darling... Missing her is so aching... so sour... so taxing...
Love me

37? I dunno... Lost count. Few hours before I fly.
Morning!
I'm leaving soon... coupl'a hours more. Done packing my main luggage... just overshot 30kg by abit. Thinking whether I should bring a photo album along anot... All the fond memories. =)
Anyways, had dinner with Fen just now. She insisted one treating me lor... said I can treat her back when she comes to Gold Coast at the end of the year. Haha! I'll remember that, girl. We ate at Changing Appetites, $51+ I think. Ya. Then sent her home after that, by bus. Had a long chat about the past... poly days... haha! It's so funny, the things we do when we were younger. It's worth looking back & laughing at yourself!
Yup! Today no activity... packing & burning CDs only. Tmr morning, or should I say later, there'd be very little ppl. Good... at least I won't tear. That's what I thought before... But it turns out that those who are coming tmr are my closer friends... and a few of them can make me cry much more than alot of friends coming to send me off! I dun wanna cry infront of them! But I bet I will... Well, at least it's nothing to be ashamed of. *cry*
I dun wanna leave...
He's gonna miss her so much. Today's the last day he's in Singapore. She's still away, and can only come back when he's reached his destination. So much for so near yet so far. He already passed the stuff to her mum, and her mum looked sympathetic towards them both... and she gave him her blessings, and he left the house... for the next 9 months at least. *tears*
"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
I'm standin' here outside your door.
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn.
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn.
Already I'm so lonesome I could die!
So kiss me and smile for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go,
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
I don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe, I hate to go...
Now the time has come to leave you.
One more time, oh, let me kiss you,
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to live alone.
About the times that I won't have to say..."
-Chantal Kreviazuk: Leaving On A Jet Plane
Missing you & loving you always... *cry*
Wait for me... please...

Add-on... to the last... whatever number it is...
"... When I go away I'll miss you,
And I will be thinking of you
Every night and day just
Promise me you'll wait for me,
'cos I'll be saving all my love for you,
And I will be home soon.
Promise me you'll wait for me,
I need to know you feel the same way too,
And I'll be home, I'll be home soon..."

36... Cool!!!
Hellooo... Just came back from airport... sent Pinky back to Melbourne. 2 day's time, it'll be me... haha! *si-i-igh*
Anyways, was supposed to meet Fen & Qi this afternoon for lunch... Who's to know that Qi's 4h break was like 10.30am to 2.30pm one lor! Haha! Then Fen had to get back to work by 1pm, and I was still home at 11.30am... so in the end, we postponed it to tomorrow dinner... but dunno whether Qi is free anot. Hope to dine with these 2 fine ladies... haha! K, to me, they're fine ladies la... I dunno about you though. I'll know tomorrow morning whether Qi can make it.
So in the end, I left home later, went to NUS to meet Bern first, who showed me around the Central Library NUS, then after that went to meet Laverne at Science Canteen. Had some desserts and drinks and chit chatted awhile, ate waffles, then we headed home. Went with Bern to Clementi MRT where she took a bus to SP & I took MRT to Changi. No seats can! Wah lau! Stand all the way to Tanah Merah, then change train time then got seat... but only for 2 stops... and I could fall asleep between these 2 stops. Haha!
Reach airport, met everyone, went Staff Canteen, ate Thai Beef Noodles... Poor Miky, said this leaf was coriander but Jo & her sis said it's not, then Dennis said not also... then Miky was brooding over it throughout our meal. Haha! SO cute la! And then the time came for Pinky to go le... Walked back to the Departure Hall, met the rest (Xinying, Rachel, Yunting, Clarence) for awhile, exchange gifts etc... I walked off awhile to look for Qi. Found her with her friends, talk abit, take some photos, went back to Pinky, sent him off... Haha! So not dramatic one... No one cried, he just went in... just like that. Then Auldreay sent me home together with Xinying, Rachel & Miky.
I think I might not be sleeping tonight. I should just finish ironing all my clothes & packing all my stuff once & for all. BUT, I might be feeling xian enough to heck everything till the morrow, and fall into a fitful sleep tonight. *shrugs* We shall see.
And should I sell my camera for a Fuji F11? Bought my Olympus for $750, selling for $600... used for 2months only. Worth it? Hai... $150 for 2 months... $75 per month... Not say used alot of times also... shit shit shit shit shit!
He awaits her call eagerly. To hear her voice is like a soothing melody to his ear. But he knows that it's hard, because where she is, there's little reception. And it's not her fault that she can't call... but he still yearns for her call anyways. O, my darling, my sweetheart, my heart aches for your love; my eyes long to see your face; my arms can't wait to embrace you again...
Love me

35... Should be 35 right?
Hmm... my birthday... haha! I'm quite surprised so many ppl remembered lor! Lemme count... *counts SMS* 22! Haha! Ya... so cool! Haha! 22 peeps remembered my birthday today! That's 1 thing to be happy about.
Yep! Had chinken rice at Novena today with Carolyn & Wendy... They say not very nice leh! Wah lau... haha! Oh wells... different taste then. Then Wendy went to meet Mindy at Orchard so I went Sim Lim with Carolyn to look for webcam & her tripod. Then met Wendy in town again... Looked for my sweater that I wanted to match with my new cargo pants but decided they don't match... so aiyah, whatever la... ain't gonna buy liao.
Yup! I'm 23 already... So old le... not much achievements in life... What've I got? A diploma, served NS... that's all. Hai... Everyone else is doing fine, working & earning for a family. Studying & getting good grades... Me? I don't even know what it's gonna be like there in Brisbane... and I'm not worried! Ha! Guess I'm done for...
Aiyah... dunno what to write leh. I'm just gonna miss everyone so much... so so so much when I go over...
He can't take it much longer... but he has to somehow... for much much much longer. He misses her so much he feels the wrench in his heart everytime he thinks about her... and he thinks about her all the time! (chants inside) [things are gonna get better, things are gonna get better, things are gonna get better...]
She called today but reception wasn't good. So in the end, they could only SMS. How pathetic! But it's the best right now... better than not being able to contact at all. How he longs for this to be over soon! Longing...
Love me

34th post!
Happy birthday to me... yay... -_-
Doesn't feel very special at all. It's just another day. Long day ahead... I should try to stay home. Everyone's with someone... =P
Sent Wei Yang off just now... It's nice to see some of them again... Wei Chin, Edwin, Andrew, Qi. I thought there'd be more ppl though. But it's alright. Haha! I was telling Qi that I'd be coming to the airport on alternate days the whole of this week! Today send Wei Yang, Wednesday send Pinky, Friday send myself... haha! Then she tell me Wednesday she also coming again! So maybe can see her again? Haha! See how la.
After that, met Jo for supper... Oh no! I haven't return her the money! It's not your treat ok! Oei! Haha! Anyways, we had porridge & salted egg & tau pok & minced pork I think, & this super salty mushrooms... It's not especially nice also what... wonder why everyone goes there to eat. *shrugs* Oh wells... Everyone eats there, so I must eat there too.
After supper, we walked to the park behind her place... Talked about our lives, catch up with each other... stuff like that. It's always been like that for us. I think we share a very special kind of relationship. =) Jo, I know you'd read this and I want to thank you for being in my life. We seem to be able to pick up instantly no matter how long we've like, lost contact. And you're one of them girls I know I can turn to when I'm down & out... Of course, there're others too but today, I shall only mention this precious friend and sister.
And now, I'm home. Coming online seems to be my daily habit nowsadays... Is it bad? I dunno... But this is a channel for me to tell ppl what's been happening to me & what I think & feel about certain things... I have my prerogatives don't I?
He couldn't get over her... She's gone, just like that. So near yet so far... and soon it'll be so so far. He couldn't stop crying... It's uncontrollable. And when she called, he stupidly rejected her calls to call her back. But he never got through... She's lost the reception. He's lost the chance. Stupid stupid stupid!!! Ah-h-h!!! And the rest of the day was a daze...

33... Yes, I'm pretty sure...
Hi! Haha!
I got a KIM POSSIBLE balloon!!! She's so pretty! See!
*swoons* It's a birthday/farewell gift from Sihui, Freda, Princess Fiona, Pinky & Dennis... So sweet of them... =) Thanks guys (and girls)!
My birthday is approaching... It's not a big deal really... Today, a thought occured to me. I realized I've always felt somewhat ermm... awkward accepting gifts. Ya. Feels so weird getting gifts from ppl, no matter the occasion. But I love giving ppl gifts, provided I know what to get them la. The thinking process kills too many precious brain cells...
Went shopping with Esther & Mike today... Short short one only... Got meself a brownish pair o'cargo pants! Nice! I've never had brown before... and I've never had a slightly more elaborate pair of cargos. This one has like 9 pockets! Haha! Very useful, the way I see it. Wanted a brown sweater/jacket with orange stripes to go along, or something to match la... but couldn't find due to the short time spent. Maybe I'll browse around tmr? Haha! See how. And I want a matchable belt too! All my wearables are like a thousand years old! I need something fresh!
Then I went to Gramps' place for dinner. Had 2 plates of "dang hoon" or fried rice vermicelli. And some chinken & stuff la... Then we didn't do much there except watch Ian play & some TV... Waited for Ken to come home with the cake which is supposedly for my grandpa but somehow it turned around and became mine! So I had to cut cake & distribute to everyone. Yeah... Nice cake though... Tastes like Black Forest! Then came home le lor...
And now, I shall sleep... *snores*
Missing her like crazy. He cried last night... pretty badly. He can't bear to leave now, but he has to. Hoping he wouldn't break down again, tomorrow would be the last time he'll see her before he leaves. The last 15-20min face-to-face would belong to them and no one can take those minutes away and it would remain in his heart forever... =::( Love hurts... ow.
"Love hurts, love scars.
Love wounds and mars.

And it holds a lot of rain.

33... *yawn*
Hi hi! Yeah... it's still Saturday. Slept for 150minutes only this morning... *yawn* Then I woke up & prepared to go out le. Haha! So sleepy lor... But I'm glad I went out. =) Shopped around in PS, had lunch at Cartel... Philadelphia Cheese Steak Ciabatta! Yummy!!! Haha! But it's abit ex though. Then walked on to Orchard Road. Went to Paragon and BOUGHT MY CRUMPLER BAG! Haha! Like, finally lah! Got the orange one... =D *beaming all over* But scared it'll dirty easily leh. And Bern's right... I already have a purple one so I shouldn't get another purple one (even though it's like so nice!). Wanted to get the green one but I carried it & it didn't suit me as much as the orange one did. =) So, yeah. I got the orange 15" laptop bag! Yay! (fyi, it's called the Considerable Embarrassment)
Then walked on down to Borders, had a little snack at NYDC... Hazelnut Elephancino & a B³... it's cheesecake embedded with lotsa brownie cubes. Then I headed home le... slept all the way on the bus journey back.
No one's home... don't feel like cooking instant noodles... lazy to buy... feel like sleeping... my legs are aching, my eyes are drooping... my bum is bruised... haha! But I think I should finish burning the Youth Camp CDs... =P Yep! That's what I'll do! Ok, see y'all!
P.S. Nobody wants my mju800... why-y-y-y?! *wails*
The day was spent with each other... Even though he's dead tired, he chose to be with his love. And it was a happy day! He told her how much he loved her, and she told him how much she loved him too! And this strengthened their will to stay together despite the odds they face.
"Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long.
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?
You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new.
And after having spent the day together,
Hold each other close the whole night through.
Happy times together we've been spending.
I wish that every kiss was neverending...
Wouldn't it be nice?
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true?
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do!
We could be married
And then we'd be happy,
Wouldn't it be nice?
You know it seems the more we talk about it,
It only makes it worse to live without it!
But lets talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice?
Good night my baby...
Sleep tight my baby..."
-Beach Boys: Wouldn't It Be Nice
Each time he looks at her, he falls in love with the girl he loves again. Beautiful is an insult to her... but he can't think of any other word to describe beautiful her. And her face shines like a mask of light, and her eyes are deep as the ocean. Her smile smooths every rough and warms his heart like a consuming flame. Love...

32! Yesh, it's for yesterday actually...
Heya! Haha! It's 6.37am Saturday morning. Just bathed... just came back from night cycling recce with Jas, Jo, Clarence & Xin... I was quite a night man! And I'm so glad I didn't manage to persuade Xin's dad to let him ride from home. I almost couldn't make it myself! The story goes like this: After dinner with Bern & Jas, we decided on the recce tonight. Went church, called Xin & Clarence, decided to go ahead... haha! Came home, checked the route, rode off to Braddell there to meet Jas. Then from there we rode to Upp PL, then via Airport Rd, onto Eunos Link, straight to Kaki Bukit Ave 1, then on to Bedok North Rd, Tampines Ave 10, then Pasir Ris Industrial Dr then reach Clarence's. Wah, stupid Tampines Ave 10... It's like a never ending road can! Ride & ride & ride & ride, cannot see the end of it. I think Tampines Ave 10 alone is like 4 or 5km le lor! Ultra shack la... Anyways, from Clarence's, we went to Pasir Ris Park, then out back onto where we came from, onto Eunos where we turned left & came onto Still Rd. From there, we went straight all the way to East Coast! Haha! Then chit chat a few minutes, and we all cycled back the way we came from! Jo & Jas cycled home themselves, I sent Clarence & Xin back, then I rode home all the way alone... =( But it's alright... I've got my music! Yay! Yep! That's the tale of my "night adventure", if u might call it that. Haha!
Can't believe I'm nodding off whilst typing. I need a short nap man. Going out soon le. Night!
He misses her too... so much! He only saw her a fraction of an hour today... It's almost insignificant! And he yearns for her touch, her embrace...

K, for the picky ones, 31's 1 month!
Packing my room now. Haha! It's not as dusty as I thought it'd be... maybe for lack of the human factor. Haha! I mean, it's been unpacked for like 2 or 3 years! Wow, that's very long man, come to think of it... =) As usual, looking through my stuff as I pack... my Energizer Lithium batteries must be used by this year... old photographs need archiving... not-so-often used stuff should be drawered etc...
And then I came across this envelope. My name was plainly written on it. It's still sealed! Hmm... must've forgotten about it when I got home & put it on my desk. So I ripped it open... Now, I seldom say this but, oh my GOD... it's my 21st birthday card! From xiao zhu! That's like, 2yrs ago! I'm sorry xiao zhu... So I read through everyone's wishes and I realised how much I'm gonna miss everyone here... and getting closer to everyone again in the past months isn't helping too... Suddenly, I don't feel like leaving... but that's just a wish that should never happen.
"Should I stay, should I go?" (words from a song, dunno the singer, dunno the title.)
[midnight]
Hmm... met Lianne for dinner. It's been some time since I saw her. Haha! Still pretty, yep! And I forgot how large her eyes were! Like, wow! And her lashes are probably twice as long as mine! Haha! Yep! And she seems to be coping quite fine at SMU. Chit chatted abit at this restaurant inside ESPRIT Raffles City... forgot the name liao. STM. Then we shifted to Cetelé at the basement where she introduced me to some devillishly rich chocolate cake: Chocolate Truffle something something... It's like, one solid block of chocolate umm... *thinks of the word... can't* paste? Paste is not viscous enough... but anyways, it was mmmmm... haha! Can u imagine me eating something shiok then my eyes will close and my face tilt upwards abit, then the tip of my tongue sticks outta my lips and traces the length of them, and I go "mmmm...". Ya... it's that delicious. So we chatted abit more, then we headed back home. That's that.
Thoughts invaded my mind on the way back... Have you ever felt like hugging someone in need of a hug, but don't know how to go about offering it to him/her without seeming like a lecher? How does one (such as me) express the care & concern, and possibly love, to a friend in need? The need is not satisfied most of the time because of the fear of gossip. What is this man... I have no solution. Anyways, I post here because I can. And because it was in my head and I needed to get it out... I don't require a solution but it'd be good if there was one. Haha!
He sent her home today. Saw his "rival-in-love" on the bus. He didn't look intimidating. Then again, you never know. But she assures him she only has eyes for him... haha! So sweet! And he relaxes... and he loves her all over again. How lovely can a girl get? Much more, I'd expect. But this is much more than enough already...
"Clue number one was when you knocked on my door.
Clue number two was the look that you wore.
And that's when I knew, it was a pretty good sign,
That something was wrong up on Cloud Number Nine...
... And the moon is out and the stars are bright
And whatever come's gonna be alright
Cause tonight you will be mine
Up on Cloud Number Nine.
And there ain't no place that I'd rather be
And we can't go back but you're here with me.
Yeah, the weather is really fine
Up on Cloud Number Nine... "

30!!! This blog has been around for a month now...
Heya! Nothing much happened today. Main event was going to Evonne's to play with Ian & build his bed... haha! Oh ya, played with my tablet some more today... haha! Drew a caricature of Ian! See! 
Ok, it's abit faint... and it's not complete also. There're supposed to be movement lines on his right hand, showing him doing his judo chop!
Anyways, I'm ultra-sleepy. Need to sleep le. Short short entreé tonight. Good night!
They spent the day together; morning, noon & evening! It was a happy day. Such bliss is rare... and will be rarer yet. And then they will come up with something. Something to keep the bond strong despite the distance... pray.

29... haha! It's gonna be 1 month!
Hello!
Plans kinda changed today... Morning I still went for my dental though. Patched 1 tooth, polished the rest. They used some powder thingy to polish but how it's done, I dunno... Felt like she just sprayed it onto my teeth, then after that I rinsed my mouth, then she used something else to polish it so I really don't know what's the use of that powder. Anyways, polishing cost $45. I can't see any visible difference la but Pinky said it's brighter... but I'm still quite reserved about it. Haha! Paranoia? Mebbe...
Anyways, met Pinky, Miky, Sue (she consented to me using this name. Haha!) & You for a movie at PS. North Country... It's quite a show. Quite MCP, if u ask me. Kindles my dislike for men (or boys) who bully or like to disturb women (or girls). I know I may sound so high-&-mighty, protector of the female species, even flirtatious... but people who know me know that I'm like that. I've tried being more like other guys, but I just can't bring myself to disturb a girl for long. Guess I have a soft spot for girls... *shrugs* Oh wells. Most guys are jerks anyways... play with a girl's feelings and then brushes her off like dust. *pffft* Am I like that? Shit... I sure as heaven hope not.
Anyways, yeah, after movie, I didn't go to Mabel's... Samantha had to look after her mum who fell ill, and Doris ain't going coz she met Mabel with John @ Suntec recently & said she looked better. And it'd be weird for me to go alone so, yeah... didn't go. Just sent an SMS to her...
So we met Dennis & had dinner at Suntec... Just Noodles, that place is called. Dennis was quite quiet today... wonder what's wrong. Maybe tired from work? Anyhow, after dinner, we strolled through CityLink Mall and went & have a look at the Switch bag, which has interchangeable parts: strap, flap, bag... Then continued on to the MRT & all of us headed home.
Just another day in "paradise"...
She had a full day today... must've been really tiring. And another test creeps up tomorrow. The poor girl... His heart aches for her but he knows she can cope. She's a smart girl...
And he misses her ever so much because she had a full day & he can't meet her. And he has things to do too. 15min in the morning was all the time they had together... *sad*
Tomorrow will be a better day.
Love me

28... yes... it should be.
Hey! Haha! Not a very exciting day today except that I BOUGHT THE GRAPHIRE4!!! Haha! Finally got it after waiting & considering for so long... But that's $169 gone from my bank account. But it's ok... Met Gin Gin to get back my $100... haha! So that's $69 less from my account... I'm good at consoling myself huh? =) Can't wait to familiarize myself with the tablet... I can finally draw digitally, decently... *beams*
Whilst I was waiting for the bus on the way home, a thought occured to me. You know how some people always say things like, "I'm not tall but I'm not short either..." and that would mean they're of average height, right? And "I'm not rich but I'm not exactly poor..." would mean he/she has a decent income right? But what about things like "I'm not angry, but I'm not happy about it either..."? And "I don't disapprove nor do I approve..."? Is there such a thing as an average between angry & happy? An average between yes & no? It's not the same as an average of black & white coz that'd be 50% grey, strictly speaking. So what does "I'm not angry but I'm not exactly happy either," mean?
Tomorrow another dental appointment. Haha! To fill up the rest of my holes... After that should be meeting Pinky, Princess Fiona & Suming in town. But can't watch movie with them le... at night I going to Mabel's for her brother's funeral. Dunno what time meeting Samantha & Doris still... waiting for their SMS. Oh wells, I should sleep soon... wait tomorrow cannot wake up again... =P
They only met briefly today. And that makes the missing all the more intense! It was almost immediate, the moment they parted. Not even a minute passed by and he missed her already. How can it be?
"I never had a dream come true,
Till the day that I found you...
... I never found the words to say,
You're the one I think about each day.
And no matter where life takes me to,
A part of me will always be with you...
... You'll always be the dream that fills my head...
... Because Love is a strange & funny thing,
No matter how I try I just can't say goodbye..."

Her mum knew all along, even before he expressed his love! Amazing! Haha! And all this while they were secretly meeting, she knew... and she doesn't disapprove, and she wasn't unhappy about it. But she fears for her daughter's happiness. And he fears for their own happiness & sanity. May GOD help them both...
Love me

Hmm... is it 26?
Hey! Haha! Today first time I had Holy Communion then I sitting upstairs... means I'm one of the first few who went to "eat". Haha! K, nvm. Sermon was weird... K, not weird but hmm... couldn't really get what Rev Chong was trying to bring across. And last week also. Couldn't get what the speaker was saying... I guess taking notes also shows how much content is useful content? Haha!
Sunday sch... Lao shi gave me an ang bao coz I did the homework... haha! I thought it's just a scripture or something but at the end of the day, wow! It was cash lor! That surprised me! And same with the 2 houses that we visited for CNY Visitation! All the ang baos they gave contained money! *shocked* Haha! I'm not complaining but it's just not the tradition... Or is it? =)
Well, yeah... took about 200+ photos today. Nothing exciting... haha! Then after the CNY visitation I just came home lor. Most of them went to Jingmei's house for dinner but I was feeling tired out... dunno why also. Oh wells... Cooked Alfredo pasta just now... serves 4 side dishes, the packet says... *full* And now, I shall slumber... *zzz*
Oh yah! Mabel's brother was involved in a car accident & passed away on Saturday night I think... Wah lau... so sad can? He's like 26, going on to 27 this year only lor! Shit man! How fragile life is... Just like that... gone...
... forever...
He loves her with his whole heart. She loves him with her whole heart. Secretly. Because they know that people around them do not approve of their love. "You're too young," they say. Or "You don't know what love is." And there are opportunistic spies everywhere, spreading their gossip & slander, making love so hard to bloom, making love so complicated. Why should they care what everyone else thinks? They love each other so deeply, they're willing to sacrifice so much, they're willing to wait... Why can't anyone understand the love they have?

Is it 25? Wow... amazing!
"It's the way you make me feel,
Spinning my world around.
Tell me how can I walk away,
I don't care what they say,
I'm loving you anyway!
It's the way you make me feel...
... When I look into your eyes,
Everytime you smile at me,
Oh I go weak inside,
Baby I just can't hide my love."
-Steps: It's The Way You Make Me Feel
He made her a little something. A pouch for her precious mobile. It's black & purple outside & lime inside. It means she's in his thoughts constantly. It means he'll protect her, even when he's bruised (black & purple) & hurt. It's made of thread & cloth & felt. And something else that not everyone can see: love. And he spends the late afternoon & evening with her. *happy* *grin* =D
