Ah-h-h... headache!

Hi!

Yep! How come I can post so late at night... No, I'm not in school now. I'm home. No, my broadband isn't here yet. No, I'm not using other people's network. I'm using dial-up... and it's so darn slow can! And I'm reading lots of articles, that's why I didn't log on to MSN... Otherwise I know I'll just be chatting the night away & not reading.

Yep, reading about the Measles Virus... hai. So much to read la... can die lor.

Just now dinner, Sue cooked soup since afternoon... very nice! Haha! Dunno why nobody else drinking lor. I think I drank like 6 or 7 bowls... And the gong1 bao3 ji1 ding1 so spicy can! I loved it! Haha! But everyone else say too spicy le... Where got? Shiok what... =P Anyways, it's Vivian cook one. Haha! Yay! For 2 nights le, I didn't need to cook dinner. And tmr Friday also I not cooking. So shiok! Haha!

K, this won't be a long entry. Need to read & read & read... Just wanna ask those who read this to pray for me to work hard and make full use of my time. I should spend more time in school to study since home is not conducive to study at all... heh. But I scared wait they say I always nv cook... *sigh*

Anyways, I gotta go! Blog tmr if I have the time! *muacks*

The stars shine ever so brightly in the sky. They dance across the dark silk of night, speckling the sky with their tiny radiance, shining onto earth, their little lights. How he wish for her to share this picturesque view with him every night. Holding her in his arms, whispers of "I love you's" exchange between the two lovebirds...

Love me if you dare... 21:31

Market Day!

Hello!!!

Yes I know, I didn't blog yesterday. But duncha think I'm blogging too much? Or talking too much? Anyways it's just boring stuff about my boring day & my boring life here in UQ... Oops! Oh no no!!! UQ's fun!!! So many people! So many interesting things to learn during lectures!!! And the weather's good & the scenery is good & the study environment is wonderful!!! Haha!

It's not such a beautiful picture you know...

Anyways... came across something just now, and it made me think of the coming Great Singapore Sale! Wah liao... I can't be there to shop lor! Shite... The only sale I can look forward to here is the winter sale where they sell all the summer clothing real cheap. Haha! Then again, that was when I was in Adelaide. Brisbane's pretty different... Oh wells, it's not as if I'm a shopaholic anyhoo... *winks*

Yep! Yesterday didn't blog coz I went home straight after sch... Well, not straight la... Went library to photocopy something for Luke, then met Weiyang! Haha! So cool la! So both of us just sat down somewhere & I think he wanted to read some papers but we ended up chatting the hour away. Haha! Seems like he's getting on well... and so did I! Yep! Anyways, that's not why I didn't blog. I went home, took a sleep, woke up at 1:30pm, cooked instant noodles, and went out cycling. And collecting insects! Haha! More like an insect hunt. K, not really also la... U can get to see many insects at any 1 particular place IF you're patient enough to wait in the sun & concentrate on searching & not move too much or too suddenly. Anyhoo, my first victim was a green grasshopper, followed by a brown one with orange legs, and then a honeybee... cycled to another location near the train tracks, caught a wasp and an assassin bug. I was so tempted to capture the whole family of assassin bugs lor! They're just sitting there on a grass, basking in the sun... and the young ones are so nice! It's black with orange legs & feelers! The adults are brown & drab with an X across it's back. And they look dangerous. Haha!

Yeah, so I brought them home & pinned them into the drying box. It's suppsed to take like 4wks to dry them out? Wah lau... I don't have enough pins. Which reminds me, I should email the department and ask for more materials. Haha!

*sigh* Today I'll be staying in sch to study with SX again. I dun wanna study... but I can't. Things are piling up... datelines are still looming... Yes, of course I cleared some... but there're more to come. Haha! It'll never end! And home is so not a conducive place to study. I dunno why. But Daphne thinks so too. Haha! And I don't see Jared doing much study himself, unless he studies at Sue's place? I dunno... haha! But generally all of us feel that our house is like a holiday chalet. Fun & laughter everyday! Haha!

Hmm... what to write, what to write... *thinks*

Oh! And I ironed some of my clothes yesterday! Haha! Finally get to wear ironed clothes. It becomes the same after half a day of wearing, but it's the first half where tees are crumpled that I'm embarrassed about. As if I'm so lazy like that. I'm not lor! We just didn't have an ironing board till recently. =P

Hai... nothing to write le. Shall not try to think of things to write... so lame lor. I'll just study, do some research & stuff before SX comes over. If something pops into my head, I'll write it here again...

Toodles!

Pop!~
Pop!~
Pop!~
There she goes, popping up in his mind every once in awhile. She's such a lovely distraction. He could stare at her photo all day long, and just dream of the memories they've etched into each other's hearts. Dreams are made of these!

"... 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!"

-Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald: Dream A Little Dream of Me

Monday in school!

Hey guys!

In school now... studying in the Heath Room at the main refec area with SX. Did my Arthropods prac sheet, don't feel like doing anything else. Haha! But I know I know... I need to study. *sigh* Somehow my body's aching all over. I dunno why. Feels abit like the flu kinda ache though... but no, I do not think I'm down with a flu. Haha! Probably just the after effects of breaking on Friday... and abit more on Saturday at home? Haha!

Saturday.. went to see the car. Yep, bought it... will be collecting it on Thursday I think. $3200... excluding insurance & stuff. It's a 93 Mitsubishi Magna Executive 2.6 I think. Or maybe it's a 2.2... I dunno. What the heck. Haha!

Then we spent the night playing "Bananas" except we changed it to "Ants"... How the game goes? It's just like heart attack but x-1 number of objects (where x=no. of people) were put in the middle. When someone got all 4 cards, he'd snatch the object (in this case, $2 coins coz they were small) and leave the rest scrambling for the remainder. The one who lost contributes to the first alphabet, in this case: A. Then everyone after that went on to be N, T and S... The person who lost on S had to forfeit... which somehow ended up to be drawing on the leg with a permanent marker. Haha! Soon after that... we discarded the words totally & just drew on every loss. And soon after that we took away 1 coin so it became x-2. Then the 2 who lost will draw each other... and the last game being 1 object left so the winner is the ultimate winner and everyone else will be drawing everyone... haha! And we made to go out in shorts in the city on Sunday, which apparently didn't happen... =P It was fun though... haha!

Sunday, caught the 7.54am train to Roma St then change to the Beenleigh Line to take to Fruitgrove Station... where Christian picked me up with the church van. Haha! I really enjoyed the service... feels so at home lor. And after service, Eddie and Gladys brought me to this Little Singapore Restaurant for lunch... Not bad, the food... It's at Sunny Bank too, by the way.

Oh oh! Ya! They were telling me about the Vietnamese Pho Rstaurant too! They said it once came out in the news or on TV or something that they reuse the soup for the noodles! Haha! What do I mean? After you finish eating & everything, wipe your sweat, wipe your lips, throw the tissue in the soup, they clear your bowl & bring it to the back & ACTUALLY SIEVE THE SOUP FROM THE NOODLES SO THEY CAN USE THE SOUP FOR THE NEXT CUSTOMER!!! How SICK is THAT?! Haha! I'm never gonna eat there man... and to think Jennifer & Vivian said it was nice! Haha! Should I tell them? *evil laughter* Hahaha!!!

Ok, I just realised I haven't finished my prac after all... Shall end here... Toodles!

"Loving you was the best thing that happened to me. And though multitudes guys surround you, you still love me like I'm the only guy around." And they decided to bring their relationship to GOD, who will sustain them & carry them through their paths. And the peace and love of GOD will be with them, always.

"(:::Smith:::)
If I never knew you,
If I never felt this love,
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be.

And if I never held you,
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me.

In this world so full of fear,
Full of rage and lies,
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes.
So dry your eyes.

And I'm so grateful to you,
I'd have lived my whole life through,
Lost forever,
If I never knew you.

(:::Pocahontas:::)
If I never knew you,
I'd be safe but half as real.
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true.
I'm so grateful to you,
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you.

(:::Smith:::)
I thought our love would be so beautiful.


(:::Pocahontas:::)
Somehow we made the whole world bright.

(:::Both:::)
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night.
But still my heart is singing
We were right.

(:::Pocahontas:::)
If I never knew you,
If I never knew this love,
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be.

(:::Smith:::)
There's no moment I regret
Since the moment that we met.
If our time has gone too fast,
I've lived at last...

(:::Both:::)
I thought our love would be so beautiful.
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright.

(:::Pocahontas:::)
I thought our love would be so beautiful,
We'd turn the darkness into light.

(:::Both:::)
And still my heart is singing
We were right.

(:::Smith:::)
We were right.
And If I never knew you,
I'd have lived my whole life through...

(:::Pocahontas:::)
Empty as the sky...

(:::Both:::)
Never knowing why.
Lost forever,
If I never knew you."

After class... tiring... *phew*

Hello!

Waiting for OCF to start in about 40min time... shall write about dance and prac... haha!

Dance was cool! We were taught a couple of freezes (it's where you're moving and dancing and suddenly u do a move that seems to freeze a couple of beats, yeah) and spent the whole hour practising it... Hand-stand is difficult man... my arms are too weak to hold it there for long. After a couple of tries, they're like trembling already la... haha! So paiseh... It was really tiring... but fun!!! FUN FUN FUN!!! Haha! All of us stayed back for another half hour or so, and the whole class had a battle... like, we stand in a ring, and 1 person would start off & do a few moves, and at the end of his turn, he'd point to someone (the battlee, if there's such a word) and that someone would come out next & "retaliate" with a few of his moves... and the cycle continues. I was abit clumsy with mine (talk about embarrassing) but I guess it was alright... We're all there to learn. Haha!

Then I realised I had half an hour to eat my lunch & walk to prac! Haha! Rushed abit, ate my Carbonara spaghetti, spilled some on my jeans (damn!) and then went off to class. Today's prac was different... We were given 7 species of wrigglers, and we had to identify them, like which one is what species... oh man! U wouldn't believe it! We had to look through the microscope and like turn & shift the wriggler (in case some of you don't know, it's the larva or baby of the mosquito) around to see its features la! And it's ridiculous how some of them are classified. Haha! For example, 2 species had only a difference of 1 hair! And this hair is on the tail one lor! Haha! Well, we spent about 2 and a half hours examining wrigglers... and by the end of it, everyone was like confused & heck care already.

Yep! Tired tired... haha! But it's ok... At least dance was fun. =)

He had dance; she had dance. Both of 'em would be tired... but they know they're missing each other. The sweet love that binds them together is just like caramel... sticky, aromatic, sweet. Lovely. Yummy.

Love me if you dare... 15:52

Done my Arthropods prac!

Hiya! Hee hee! Finally finished doing my Arthropods practical! Man! I hate it! It takes up SO much time researching la! No wonder the actual prac sessions are only about an hour or so... shit!

Anyways, 45min to Break Dance! Yay! Haha! Looking forward to it... but abit apprehensive also. I haven't been practising at home... and what if the instructor calls me out to dance? I won't know anything man... haha! I can just imagine the off-beat moves I'll make... *trembles* No-o-o-o!!! Haha!

Packed lunch today again. =) Leftover Carbonara Spaghetti from last night's dinner... Only Vivian & I ate coz the rest already had Mac beforehand. So far, I've packed lunch only twice... Once was curry (2days ago) and once, this. Think I'll be packing more lunches in future! Hee! Feels good to have something to eat when everyone else is eating man...

Hmm... I've been typing about my day & my life happenings all the while. Do u readers ever get bored? I might think so. Many blogs I've read (not that I have read many) often only reflect the author's thoughts & feelings. But I'm like, just stating what's going on... kinda boring eh? Haha! Hmm... let me try... what's there to feel about? *thinks hard*

[... tick tock tick tock...]

Can't think of anything now... =( Sorry guys. Now my head is just filled with work & break dance & Bible study tonight... and my bicycle. Haha! And wanting to sleep... *yawns* Which is as well... I shall just go check my mail, then take a short 10min nap, then head off to dance le... See y'all!

Some people just don't know what they're talking about. Esther Tan, whoever she is, can never be prettier than his sweetheart! *bleh!*

He misses her more & more. When he sleeps at night, he just wants to hug her to sleep... feel her warmth, smell her fragrance, nuzzle in her hair... *sighs contently to his imagination* Miss you...

Boring day...

Hi!

*sigh* It's been a boring day. Did my Arthropods prac... so xian can! Been doing the whole day in the library la! All because my house doesn't have internet yet! Stupid Optus... *waves fist at Optus*

Anyways, I haven't finished it. 3 more creatures to go... I'm sick of it le. Am going home. Or maybe I should go Indooroopilly? Haha! See how. Call SX they all... or maybe call Jared they all.

They wanna buy a car lor! Suddenly leh... I'm not sure but somehow I feel that his sudden urge to buy a car is because of Sue... Maybe her constant urging, maybe she's gonna take her test soon? I dunno... He's getting too influenced & affected by her, in my opinion. Hey Jared, if you're reading this, no offence ok? It's just where I pour my thoughts & emotions. But I really think you're being swayed by wanting to please her... Max & I are alright I guess, but it's just that, we're fine with the way things are now... I dun really see the justification of a car. Yes, it'll be more convenient, but most of my time will be spent at home or school, or cycling... I'm not really prepared to pay $2K but oh wells... as long as I don't lose too much at the end of the day... It's like a harmony payment, so everyone is happy. *shrugs*

I think I'd go to Indooroopilly... yeah. Get some shopping... =) Or just walking around. Need a break from work. Haha! Can't believe I said that... Oh wells, it's getting late! I won't blog much today. =)

Don't worry about calling costs. He's a Singaporean... kiasu is in his blood. Of course he'll find the best deal! Besides, she's more important than measly call costs...

Love me if you dare... 15:04

Songs for her...

"My love must be a kind of blind love.
I can't see anyone but you.
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
Cause I only have eyes for you dear.

The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky,
Cause I only have eyes for you.

I don't know if we're in a garden,
Or in a crowded avenue.

You are here, so am I.
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view.
And I only have eyes for you."

-Laura Fygi: I Only Have Eyes For You


"He went away
And you hung around and bothered me every night.
And, when I wouldn't go out with you,
You said things that weren't very nice.

My boyfriend's back, and you're gonna be in trouble.
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
When you see him comin', better cut on the double.
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
You've been spreadin' lies that I was untrue.
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
So look out now, 'cause he's comin' after you.
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)

Hey, he knows that you've been tryin',
And he knows that you've been lyin'.

He's been gone for such a long time.
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
Now, he's back, and things will be fine!
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
You're gonna be sorry you were ever born.
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
'Cause he's kind of big and he's awful strong! (K, maybe not)
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)

Hey, he knows I wasn't cheatin'.
Now, you're gonna get a beatin'!
What made you think he'd believe all your lies?
You're a big man now, but he'll cut you down to size.
Wait and see!

My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation.
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
If I were you, I'd take a permanent vacation!
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)

Hey, I can see him comin',
Now, you better start a-runnin'!
Wait and see!

My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation!
La, hey la, my boyfriend's back!
La, hey la, my boyfriend's back!"

-Angels: My Boyfriend's Back

He only sees her, yes it's true! Girls surround him, but he doesn't see them. His heart's been taken, filled... there's no space for another. And he'll take such good care of her. Yes he will! And if anyone dares bully her, they're gonna be sorry... *evil laughter*

Bored in School; studying at Schonell Theatre

*sigh*

Why is everyday getting more weighty? I need to clear off some work le. Started doing my prac reports last night... think tonight if got time can do some more. Haha!

Did some research on my measles project... got some references. Done with that. Did some on my Entomophagy (meaning ingestion of insects) project also... not gonna do anymore. At least not today. =) (Song plays in head: ... not today, not today... la la, lalalalala... la la, lalalala, so yesterday so yesterday)

5.30pm, Rev Dr Michael Tan is gonna pick me up from my house... He's bringing me out to dinner, probably with his family. Haha! Abit scared... dunno what to say, dunno what to do. We shall see how things go la...

Oops... can't blog much. I'm outta electric juice. Shall stop here today! =)

He only has eyes for her. He can't seem to assure her. But it's true darling... you see, I only have eyes for you. No one else grabs my attention like you do.

Scared... too much work!

Hello!

*sigh* Just had a project meeting... We've got so much work to do... ok, I've got so much work to do... and the problem is, I keep procrastinating! Shit shit shit! Work's piling up. I need to start pinning insects already. Autumn's cooling everything and the critters aren't coming out. And I need 15 Orders of 45 insects! That doesn't sound very hard till u need to find an insect of a specific order... not easy man.

Bought a bike speedometer yesterday! Haha! And a biking shirt! Total cost: $100. Now, what do I still lack? Let's see: lock, gloves, front & back lights... ermm... cargo carrier? I suppose that would set me back another $100 or so... Shit, I'm like, spending $300 on my bike!

I need internet at home dude... otherwise I'll have limited time to spend in school to do my research... and I want internet to do other stuff too! Wah lau... stupid Optus. Wonder what kinda quality service Singtel is incorporating into Optus... Singtel service so good, but Optus so sucky!

Hai... basically got nothing to write about. Fixed up my bike yesterday, cycled abit around my place, no lights... If I'd known the quality of the bike, I'd have willingly paid another $100 for the Shimano one... So creaky & unstable gear changing... sucks. But oh wells, I'm here on a budget.

Need to go home to do work le. 3 lab reports to do, 1 of which requires the net. Need to pin the long-dead cockroach, and the beetles in the jar... cook lunch... If time permits (which I highly doubt so), I'll cycle around some more to catch some more insects... Bees & wasps I hope. It's a pity spiders aren't insects. There're tons of them around and they're easy prey... I need a net too. Oh shit!!! Everything requires time & money I haven't got enough of! Wah liew...

And the distractions that are my housemates... all fun & laughter & TV (even though there's nothing on) makes it all the more harder to concentrate la...

GOD help me... grant me the perseverence I need to complete my work everyday. Grant me the discipline to study at least 2h on my own everyday. Help me also to continually read Your Word and be close to You. Cast my fears away, Father, and keep me from temptations of the flesh. Amen.

Missing her... didn't wanna hang up... didn't want the night to end so quick. They'll pull through. Yes they will... unless GOD forbids. Simple love. Simple love is all. Simple love is all that is needed.

I love you.

Love me if you dare... 09:04

Waiting... waiting...

Heya!

Did I mention I bought the bike already? If I haven't, YESH!!! I bought the $99.50 K-Mart bike! Haha! But I have yet to assemble it yet. Will go to the city to buy some tools later... haha! Tools here are expensive u know? Crazy one lor the prices... And yesterday went Sunny Bank K-Mart, much bigger than Ind'roo & Toowong's one... Bought my helmet & mud guards there. Oh ya, finally found a Reject Shop in Brisbane! In Sunny Bank! Haha! Yeah... but it was abit disappointing though. Not as much stuff there as the Adelaide one... *shrugs*

Anyways, Saturday was a slacker day... Had a Salad Bar buffet at Sizzler. Ordered a main course too and everything cost $18+ lor. Next time, I'll just eat the Salad Bar. It's good enough for me! It'd cost $11 something... Very reasonable I think... I'd definitely go there again! =) Yeah, eat eat eat until like 3.45pm... then took a CityCat to SouthBank. Walked the market, the bike shop was closed, took CityCat to the city, walked about then took a bus home... haha! And for the rest of the night, didn't do anything.

Oh ya, missed out Friday! Went to OCF for Bible Study at 6.30... It was nice! Yeah... strangely enough, I felt quite at ease... Maybe it's because I don't really know the others well, so they're like strangers, and you're more willing to share your "secrets" with strangers coz they can't judge you and stuff... y'know, that kinda thing? Yeah... Anyways, it was a good experience & I'd go again this Friday. *winks*

After that, Louis & Mei brought me along to go look for Mao. Haha! Yeah, forced (well, sorta) her to come along with us for a meal... coz all 3 of us haven't had dinner. So we went to the 24h Pancake House & I ordered something called The Ultimate. Haha! And I have to say, it deserves its name well! It's a warm dish, crepe with melted cream cheese inside & a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, and strawberries & syrup decorating the plate. It's heavenly! Haha! Really, it really is nice! $11.95 for that. Mao had this Blackforest pancake... Not bad too! Chocolate pancake with chocolate sauce and cherries (or were they rasberries?)! Well, there were 2 pancakes & she had half & said she was done. So, as usual, I took the rest and gobbled them down. Haha! And again, as usual, Mei & Mao were like, wah, u really can eat hor? Haha! I'm taking that as a compliment! =D So after the pancake meal, we sent Mao home... am gonna miss her again.

Ah wells... Sunday! Woke up late! Louis said to be ready by 8.30am. I woke up at 8.30am when Mei rang my doorbell. Haha! Shite! So I rushed like mad, got out in what I perceive to be 5min or less. Went over to Shuxian's, and sped all the way to Eight Mile Plains... Methodist church! Haha! Shuxian went to the english service while the 3 of us went to the mandarin one. It felt so homely to be in a service with a moderately sized congregation and the familiar method of worshipping... Haha! Enjoyed it lots! After the service ended at 10.30am or so, Rev Dr Michael Tan recognised me (I have no idea how) as my dad's son! Haha! Yeah, he was like, You must be Thomas Koh's son! And I was like, wow! Do I look so much like him? Haha! I don't have a moustache... And we talked alot & I was introduced to his son & daughter who still remembers Shawn & Hans! And Mrs Rev Tan... haha! Yeah, we talked as if we were old friends! It was cool... =) That's what's amazing about GOD's family! We're one, no matter where we go & who we are! It's just so beautiful! Hee! And we decided on having dinner together on Wednesday evening. How odd... What would it be like, I do seriously wonder.

Ok, I shall not elaborate on lunch & stuff...

I'm going to the City to buy/look for bike stuff & some tools soon. Actually, in an hour's time or so. Yeah... hope to get everything done within 2h so can go home to rest & do work. And right now, I'm just feeling sleepy so I might just take a nap here in the library. *yawns*

When he calls her, it's a torture. Everyday she sounds next to him, but in truth, is so far away. He longs to see her, to touch her, to kiss her... but the wait is getting too long... too arduous. When you push yourself too hard, your muscles start to ache. And the most important muscle in him is aching so bad... the muscle that pumps life into the rest of him... aches... *cringes*

"Well, when I was a young man never been kissed,
I got to thinkin' it over how much I'd missed.
So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then,
Oh lordy, well, I kissed her again

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine.
She had, mmm-mmm, kisses sweeter than wine.
(Sweeter than wine)

Well, I asked her to marry and to be my sweet wife,
I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our lives.
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
And then, oops oh lordy, she gave me her hand

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine.
She had, mmm-mmm, kisses sweeter than wine.
(Sweeter than wine)..."

Finally!

Hi! Haha! Wanted to blog yesterday but Blogger was experiencing some problems when I had time to blog. So ended up not blogging. Ah wells... let's recount yesterday's going-ons...

Thursday... My lesson begins at 12noon, ends at 1pm. Cool! Woke up at about 10am, made scrambled egg sandwich with cheese, wolfed it down, had half a cup of milk (skim/lite... eeee), felt satisfied, changed & packed my bag preparing to go to school. By the time I reached the bus stop, it was 11.30am. Cool! I had half an hour to go to school... quite leisurely even. So I waited for the bus to arrive eagerly. K, 412 came... It stopped but the driver held up his hand, halting us. "Sorry, I can't take any of you on this bus. But listen, 402 should be coming real soon, so if you'd just wait a lil longer?" and he closed the doors & went off. Ok... fair enough. It was 11.40am. Still a fair bit of time. Tick tock tick tock... No 402! By this time it was getting quite late already. 11.50am, 412 came again, but this time, it zoomed past us with no hint of stopping at all! And it wasn't even really crowded! So these 2 girls sitting on both sides of me started complaining about how the bus timings are ridiculous & how there could be so many students going to sch for a 12 o'clock lesson. 12noon. Shit! Lecture starts for me, one of them has a presentation & she's doing the first part, the other has a lecture too! What to do? Wait... wait wait wait... 12.10pm, 412 came, this time, almost empty. And as we went along, I noticed that every subsequent stop there were quite alot of ppl too! Apparently 12noon on Thursdays does have lots of classes! Haha! And so, by the time I reached campus, it was like 12.20pm already. Rushed to my LT, went in, sat down... Dr Young was talking about our GBL (Group Based Learning) thing... and he finished at about 12.50pm? Sheesh... I was only there for like half an hour can... Wah lau. Anyways, stayed back in sch for an hour after that to use the net... That was when Blogger was down.

After that went home, lazed about abit, then went to City with Sue & Daphne & Jared. Max stayed home... The aim of this trip is to pierce Jared's ear. Haha! Somehow he agreed to go pierce ear today (Thursday). So weird. He was asking me to join him as a form of support... haha! And I was actually contemplating if I wanted... It'd be fun! Besides, if I didn't like it, I could just let it close. Went into the shop, asked the price, my response is definitely a no. Why? Guess how much? K, I shan't let u guess. It's $40 per hole!!! Wah lau! I was like, Singapore costs like $5 per hole can! With $40, I could pierce 9 holes & have $3 left for chinken rice! (1.2 conversion rate) Haha! Anyways, his ears were pierced... Sue was happy, Daphne was happy, Jared was in pain, I was bored. After that, we took the sub to Indooroopilly. Thursday nights are late night suburbs shopping! My purpose was to go to K-Mart to get a relatively good looking but cheap bicycle helmet... and some other accessories too, if they're available. Alas! There would be no such thing... So Sue & Daphne shopped about, Jared & I walked around, we had dinner, then took a bus back lor. Bought a 30 can pack of Victoria Bitter on the way back, so next time no need to go clubbing. Haha! So lame.

That's about it for Thursday. Let's talk about today...

10am lecture... well, not exactly. It's a PBL (Problem Based Learning) session whereby we all meet to discuss some work we were assigned. But when I reached there, haha! They were saying, let's just meet on Tuesday. Ok, cool! So now I have more time to spare for my Arthropods practical report. Which I really needed. Haha! Went to ILC lab to access internet, do do do... until 11.45am. Yay! The most exciting part! BREAK DANCE!!! Haha!

Yeah, it was great! Really fun! I enrolled on the spot: $65! First lesson today, he taught us how to start off, how to get down on the floor, a couple of basic moves... how to end off a challenge. And also some freezes, whereby u just freeze halfway through your dance in mid-air for 2 beats, maybe? Yeah... that was cool! It lasted an hour but I thoroughly enjoyed it man! Looking forward to next week's session. Haha!

Yeah, after that, had a prac at 2... same as last week's one, essentially. So we just observed & took notes & stuff, left at 3.10pm. In the library now, waiting for OCF at 6.30pm. Wow, I have like, 2h more!

Anyways, I'm into buying accessories for my bike now. Wondering if I should spend abit more money on helmet & stuff, coz I could still bring 'em back to SG to use. *thinks hard* And I need tools badly... haha! Otherwise I can't set up my bicycle! Wah lau! Can't even cycle if I get helmet lor... Nvm, I already asked DG to lend me... maybe tmr. Oh ya! Tmr morning playing basketball again. Haha! 8.30am! That is, of course, if I can wake up...

*sigh* There have been some things happening recently that causes me to question love as seen by the general male. Love is simple, isn't it? Yes... it is to me. If I love someone, I'd make all effort to keep her happy. I'd go out of the way to satisfy her, I'd protect her from harm & hurt, guard her from deceit & malice, keep her innocent and pure. I'd love her whole-heartedly. No one else would be able to enter my heart, and my head would turn for nobody but her. I believe that is what most girls perceive love to be as well? Because apparently when a girl loves a boy, and they're apart, seperated by the oceans and great masses of land, she'd spend her money everyday willingly, just to hear his voice, and to tell him she misses him, and to let him know she still loves him. She yearns a reciprocating love, a little care & concern at least, a call from him once in awhile, instead of her always initiating... but all she gets is the cold shoulder... the icy heart her boy's frozen to... And because she loves him, she doesn't want him to get mad or anything. And she has to settle for less than she deserves. Arrows of lovelessness pierce her bosom everytime he shouts at her. But she loves the honeyed tip that is his voice. Love really is blind huh? Love is painful too. And love can kill someone you once claimed you "loved". She lives on in this world, but her heart can no longer believe in anyone else. Even when someone who does love her comes along, she'd be feelingless. And he'd pass her by because of you! Why do you wanna wreck a life? WHY?! For fun? For fun?


For fun?

But love's a rosy picture for him. He treats her like a princess and more! She's all the world to him. His heart belongs to her only. And her voice is like honey, so desirable, so smooth. A princess she will be, forever in his heart. I love you, my darling princess...

Waiting for prac in school. 9am.

Hey! Just had a Virology lecture. *yawn* So sleepy... Was about the HIV. Wah... so complicated lor... I didn't understand the lecture like 15min after it started... so I was just taking down notes that I know is referring to whatever and can remember before the information from my ears take over what's in my brain. Look, I can't even form a proper english sentence. So-o-o tired & sleepy.

Yesterday was like any other day... finished lecture at 9, went library to use the net for awhile, then went to Indooroopilly intending to browse the shops. But ended up having to leave early coz Jared & Max had their pracs cancelled & they didn't have keys home. We all went to Toowong K-Mart, and we saw this 5 feet long pool table for sale: $149! Haha! If we split, it'll be like $50/person. I'm not really enthusiastic about it but I wouldn't mind chipping in. It could be a minor form of entertainment for us and ppl who come over... socializing tool as well, maybe? Anyways, went home, watched So The Drama, then studied a coupl'a chapters on ENTM2010. Dinnertime! So I cooked up some french beans & carrots, Vivian made potato & carrot soup and this chinken thingy with chopped chilli & honey & oyster sauce. Yeah, so we stir-fried everything & stuff, cooked rice... the norm... blah blah blah...

Studied some more... then Jared & Daphne & I walked Sulin home... stayed at her place till like 1am, talking & poking each other... haha! It was fun, but I have an 8am lecture today (maybe that's why I couldn't really concentrate)... so I was like, hey guys, let's go home le... need to sleep man!

Yep, that's about it! Did I talk about Sunday? Can't remember. Anyways, I went over to Ibis Hotel to meet Mao. Haha! She was so surprised to see me there waiting for her when she alighted the MaxiCab la! Then she was like, You always do this kind of thing one! Haven't time yet mah! And I was grinning ear to ear all the while. Haha! Yeah, after that met Louis & Mei for lunch, then we drove to South Bank coz Mao wanted to walk the markets... then after that went up to I-dunno-where-is-that but it's a hill top place where there was a Mormon church. It looked quite cool actually, but according to Mao (who came the last time she was here) it looks very scary at night when it'll be dark & spotlights are shining on it... And then we drove to my place to let Mao take a look at my "BIG" house... haha! Then drove to Farm End or something like that... can't remember. Sat by the river for awhile, enjoying the breeze, enjoying the view, enjoying the company... then the sun was setting & we got up & drove to get Domino's for dinner. Packed it into Louis' car then drove to South Bank again where we sat down on a patch of greens to eat. Nice day spent... =) It sure is nice to see a familiar face here in this lonely country... That's what I told Mao... and she was like, Really-y-y?

I wanna buy a bike soon! K-Mart's selling a full-suspension one at $99.50 only lor! Now I'm in a dilemma. Should I buy a $99.50 no-brand one, or get a $199 branded (Shimano) one? Both have full-suspensions... dunno about the gears but I'm assuming the Shimano one is the same, if not better. I'm not brand-conscious... but there's the issue of quality right? A branded one will definitely have higher quality than a K-Mart one... How how how??? *scratches head furiously*

Oh wells... I typed so much in so little time. Haha! I can feel a stomachache coming... I better run!

All the moments they've spent together, he longs for them again. The picture on his Desktop doesn't help much to ease the longings. It was a picture of her... "Beauty Beyond Description..." it read. And it was true! So beautiful is his sweetheart...

"You're so beautiful, divine.
Everything 'bout you: so fine.
And with the love like yours,
There is no pain in this world
That I can't endure!

So beautiful, so wonderful.
And as we float on the floor,
I hear the music of love...

This is our song!
This is the song we'll remember forever and ever.
It means to you what it means to me,
So from this moment on, we know
This is our song.

Anytime I feel alone
I put on our favorite song.
And like the music and words,
We merge into one
And play on and on.

Love's so beautiful, unconditional.
Can't find the words to explain,
This is our song and our song says it all!"

-Code Red: This Is Our Song

Miss you love...

Love me if you dare... 07:06

In school... running low on batt.

Heya! Haha! Once again, no connection over the weekend. Saturday morning was fun! Played basketball with them (Jasca, SX, Jennifer, Vivian, DL, DG, David, Barry, Jared) in sch. Played till I think 1+ or 2? Then Jasca had a fall *cinge* and cut her knee. So we bandaged her up & went home. Didn't go anywhere after that... Haha! At night I realised I was sunburnt! Like, wha-a-at? There wasn't much sun at all lor! Haha! Oh wells... *shrugs* I like the pain. Hhaa!

Sunday went to church. The Chinese Christian Church off Sir Fred Schonell Dr, along Ryans Rd. The mandarin service is so small can! Haha! It's like, less than 30 ppl! And the church compound was really small! And it was then that I thought, Singapore Christians are really blessed. Most churches in Singapore are pretty large & has a good number in the congregation. But Christians back home don't treasure the blessings GOD has provided for them! I didn't cherish the church building, the brothers & sisters, the weekly fellowship. And now I miss everything & everyone. Yes, I can fellowship here too, but that means making new friends and all... it's like a re-start. It could be nice, yes, but it could get tiring too, especially with assignments & projects hounding you down & datelines & exams looming not very far away... I just pray that GOD lets me accomplish what HE has brought me here for. It might turn out that my purpose here is not to study, can't it? I'll know when HE wants me to know. But meanwhile, I'm gonna need to self-study at home everyday for at least 2h. And finish my homework before the weekends so I can enjoy myself. *resolves*

Ok ok... Gotta do more research... Battery's running low... =P Blog again.

Thanks for reading!!!

Missing her is so difficult. Especially when a promise is made to not cry. And even though tears never flowed down his face, they flooded his heart till overflowing...

"Roman:
Theres someone out there for me
(I know there's sombody out there)
I know she's waiting soo patiently
Can you tell me her name?
(somebody tell me her name)
This life long search is gonna drive me insane.

Roman Chorus:
How does she laugh? How does she cry?
What's the color of her eyes? Does she even realize I'm here?
Where is she? x3 Where is this beautiful girl?
Who is she? x2 Who's gonna complete my world?
Where is she? x2 Where is this beautiful girl?
Who is she? x2 Who's gonna complete my world?
ladadadadadada ladadadada ladadadadadada

(where are you)

Soluna:
I'm staring out at the sky
(I see you baby)
Praying that he will walk in my life.
Where is the man of my dreams?
(I'm right here)
I'll wait forever how silly it seems.

Soluna Chourus:
How does he laugh? How does he cry?
What's the color of his eyes?
Does he even realize I'm here?
Where is he? x3 Where is this beautiful guy?
Who is he? x2 Who's gonna take me so high?
Where is he? x2 Where is this beautiful guy?
Who is he? x2 Who's gonna take me so high?

-Roman & Soluna: Where Are You


"I'm holding a fortune that heaven has given to me.
I'll try to show you each and every way I can,
Now and forever I will be your man.
Now I can rest my worries and always be sure
That I won't be alone anymore... "

-Richard Marx: Now And Forever


"You've been searching the world to find true love,
Looking in all the wrong places.
When all of the time you've been blind to love,
It's plain as a nose on your face is.

It's here, it's now,
Open your eyes and see it.
Right here, right now,
Open your eyes to love.

You've been down on yourself
Thinking something's wrong.
Wonder why love has never found you.
Don't you know it's been right here all along,
If only you look around you.

It's here, it's now,
Open your eyes and see it.
Right here, right now,
Open your eyes to love.

Love has been right by your side.
So close that you couldn't see.
If love could speak,
He would shout to the sky,
I've always been here,
I always will be.

I'm here, I'm now!
Open your eyes and see it!
Right here, right now,
Open your eyes to love.
Open your mind to love.
Open your heart to love."

Afternoon in the Library

Mr Beaver doesn't bite his nails...

"You'd think that people
Would have had enough
Of silly love songs.
I look around me and I see it isn't so.
Some people wanna fill the world
With silly love songs
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know 'cause here I go again,
I love you, I love you!

I can't explain the feeling's plain to me;
Can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more,
She gave it all to me now can't you see?
What's wrong with that?
I need to know.

Love doesn't come in a minute.
Sometimes it doesn't come at all.
I only know that when I'm in it,
It isn't silly, love isn't silly.
Love isn't silly at all!

How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?"

-Paul McCartney: Silly Love Songs


"Her hair is soft and her eyes are oh so blue.
She's all the things a girl should be,
But she's not you.

She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue,
She's everything a man could want,
But she's not you."

-Elvis Presley: She's Not You


"Any girl walk by, don't matter,
'Cause you're looking so much better.
Don't ever need to get
Caught up in jealousy.
She could be a super-model,
Every magazine... the cover.
She'll never, ever mean a thing to me...

She's no you... oh, no.
You give me more than I could ever want.
She's no you.
I'm satisfied with the one I've got.
'Cause you're all the girl
That I've ever dreamed.
She's only a picture on a magazine.
She's no you... she's no you.

They got a lot of girls
Who dance in all the videos.
But I prefer the way you do,
The way you move.
You're more than beautiful,
And I just wanna let you know
That all I ever need
Is what I've got with you...

... No one's ever gonna get to me,
Oh, the way you do.
Now baby can't you see
That you're the one,
The only one
Who's ever made me feel this way?

Nothing's ever coming even close.
No one's ever been comparable to you... "

-Jesse McCartney: She's No You

He knows she just dances beautifully. And when she's aching & tired, all he wants is to be by her side, be with her, loving her, taking care of her. And he knows that she'll take care of him, the same as he does. And everything seems to be just right... =D

I dunno what to type here already...

In the library... tried to do some research on this PBL project from BIOL3009 (that would be Arthropods & Human Health) about Lyme disease... it's giving me a headache. K, not really. But I'm just feeling kinda lost how I'm gonna go about doing anything. There's so much information there & maybe I can't interpret the question properly or something... Anyways, I'm giving up & I don't wanna do anymore reading on Lyme Disease anymore. It'll have to wait till tomorrow's project meeting. *pffft*

Do u know what a pinky promise is?

"pinky promise... Traditionally, it's considered binding and the idea was originally that the person who breaks the promise must cut off their pinky finger. In a similar vein, among members of the Japanese yakuza (gangsters), the penalty for various offenses is removal of parts of the little finger (known as yubitsume)."

Haha! Yep! So for those of you who did a pinky promise to anyone, better keep it! And for those who want someone to keep a promise, better let him/her know what a pinky promise means before he/she hooks your finger!

I need to decide on a module to do for ENTM2010 (Insect Science) by tomorrow! My brain hasn't been functioning well ever since after army. I need some ideas as to what to do for it... It's worth 15%! And I need to do 2 this semester lor. Shit shit shit... work seems to be piling up. Haha! And I've gotta do lab report already. Should go & buy an A4 notebook later. Lalala... what else... what else... oh! And I need to start collecting insect specimens already! How am I gonna complete the presentation box by the end of the semester man? I'll go home & plan out what creatures I wanna catch later. So far, I've got myself a cockroach (think it's the German species) in my killing jar & it's been 3 days now, without food & water, and it's still alive! I wonder if its pheromones will attract others into my bedroom. It's just beside-above me on my desk. Haha!

Oh wells... life is increasing its pace, it seems. Need to catch up. I need a bicycle! Haha! Yeah well... excuses to spend more money. =P

Addiction... not to drugs, no. It's something about her. Soft, gentle, smooth & creamy. Deliciously subtle, tantalizing, sweet. Can you be addicted to a longitudinal wave? The decibel? Vibrating air particles? Harmonics? Coz it seems he's addicted to her voice...

"Love me, love me,
Say that you love me...

... just say that you need me.
I can't care 'bout anything but you."

-The Cardigans: Lovefool


"She said, 'I've gotta be honest.
You're wasting time if you're fishing round here.'
And I said, 'You must be mistaken,
'Cause I'm not fooling.
This feeling is real.'

And she said, 'You've gotta be crazy.
What do you take me for, some kind of easy mark?
You got wits, you got looks, you got passion,
But I swear that you've got me all wrong, all wrong,

But you've got me.'

I'll be true, I'll be useful,
I'll be cavalier, I'll be yours, my dear.
And I'll belong to you if you just let me through.
This is easy as lovers go.
So don't complicate it by hesitating.
This is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailor made!
What's the sense of waiting?

I said, 'I've gotta be honest.
I've been waiting for you all my life.
For so long I thought I wasn't gonna settle down,
But just seeing you makes me think twice.
The feel of you here makes me sane.
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my sight.

'You've got wits, you've got looks, you've got passion,
But are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?
Tonight, tonight...

You've got me.

I'll be true, I'll be useful,
I'll be cavalier, I'll be yours, my dear.
And I'll belong to you if you just let me through.
This is easy as lovers go,
So dont complicate it by hesitating.
This is wonderful as loving goes,
This is tailor made!
What's the sense of waiting?"

Since Sunday

Hello! Wow, it's Wednesday already! Didn't blog for 2 days le... and apparently I didn't continue on Sunday either. Too tired. Got pictures but nothing interesting to upload la. Haha! Yeah.

Had my first prac today... Virology lab. Donning a lab coat & wearing latex gloves brought me back to the days when I did lab work with Xuefen & Yibin & Peiqi... and of course, the rest of the class la. Those were the days man... (so cliche but indeed) It was fun... haha! Like poly, lots of waiting time & stuff... We played with the Tobacco Mosaic Virus today... Concentrated the virus particles for the next lab next week.

Last night, we invited everyone to our place for dinner! Haha! Coz Vidhya's going back today... in fact, went back already. Am gonna miss her man... But yeah, and also as some sort of house-warming I guess? Haha!

From the left front, Barry, Shuxian, Vidhya, Vivian, Jared, John, Daphne, Jennifer, Jessica, DL, me & DG. (Max was bathing...)

The girls...

The guys...

The rice!

The wings!

K, the rice wasn't fantastic... In fact, it tasted more like claypot rice than fried rice la! Haha! But anyways, everyone ate to their fill, with potatoes & chinken wings & sambal fish too! Haha!

Ok... I dunno what else to write le. I think I should spend my time in the library studying instead.. Will update again when I bring my laptop to school! Haha!

She fills his head... everyday & every night. He can't spend a moment without her creeping into his mind. Actually, he doesn't want to spend a moment without her popping into his head. =) And every night, her gentle voice fills his ears & makes his heart quicken like a young boy in love. *flutters*

Sunday, 4th March, 2006

G'day!

Yeah, it's not bad a day today. Only thing is I woke up at 9+ and I missed church. Stupid. Dunno why I couldn't hear my alarm.

Yesterday we moved into the new house.It was quite big, really. But to squeeze 3 beds & 3 desks into the room was a wee bit of a challenge at first. But we managed to in the end! Haha! See the pictures!


My Quilt! Haha! Nice right?


And there you go! 3 beds...


And 3 desks!



And the rest of my house!

This is the balcony...

And the kitchen...

And the living room!

K, not house, apartment. But yeah, nice right? Haha!

Yep! Moved in in the morning, unpacked our luggages, went to buy more hangers & boxes to keep our clothes & everything, bought abit of groceries, fixed up the desks & our beds... it was a good day. Tiring, yes, but nevertheless, good. =)

Vivian & Jasmine came over when we were fixing up the desks. Said we'd be going for dessert tonight. Ok! Yay! Haha! I thought it'd just be them 2 & the 3 of us. Turns out, we met up with Shuxian, Jess'ca, Barry, DL, DG, Gabriel, Bernard & another guy whose name I didn't get. That makes *counts* 13 of us! Haha! That's quite abit no? =) Went to Milton's Lil' Paris for dessert... it's the NYDC kinda desserts, not ice-kachang and all. Show y'all s'more pictures!

Max, me, Jared, Jasmine, Vivian!

I was putting on a freak show with Jared...

And Jasmine!

After that, came home, bathed & finished up packing all my stuff. Was too tired to type anymore so I lay on my bed to sleep. Can't sleep! Haha! Talked to Jared in the dark whilst hearing Max snore. Haha! Talk talk talk, then we decided to drink some milk to induce sleep. Went out, caught a cockroach in my killing jar, left it in there, drank milk, came back & slept, quite immediately. Haha! So milk does induce sleep...

Yeah, this morning woke up late, missed church. Then washed our dirty laundry, dried them, and then we proceeded to town to meet Shuxian they all to go Sunny Bank to buy groceries (coz it's much cheaper there). Saw DG & Bernard too, but they didn't join us. Waited for Jennifer (Shuxian's new housemate since Vidhya's going home) & Vidhya to come, then we took a bus to Sunny Bank. The breeze was so cold! But I loved it! Even ate ice-cream lor! Haha! Anyways, had lunch at the same Food Court again, then bought rice & all the seasoning sauces, salt & stuff, oil and what not. Wah, so heavy can! And vege & fruits... Shuxian they all also bought lotsa veg & fruits. Then we decided that Vidhya should cook us some curry tonight before she leaves on Wednesday. So we bought stuff for dinner! Haha! Now I'm home coz Louis delivered our dining table & chairs & the waste paper. Waiting for Daphne to come so we could all go to Shuxian's place for dinner! Heard Vidhya's curry is mmmm, sedap! Haha!

I'm gonna go see what we can do for now. Might blog s'more tonight, might not. See how. =) See ya!

Add-on to "No Net"

"Look into my eyes, you will see
What you mean to me.
Search your heart, search your soul,
And when you're finally there you will search no more.

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for!
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for!
You know it's true...
Everything I do, I do it for you.

Look into my heart, you will find
There's nothin' there to hide.
Take me as I am; take my life!
I would give it all, I would sacrifice!

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for!
I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more!
You know it's true...
Everything I do, I do it for you.

There's no love like you love.
And no other could give more love.
There's nowhere unless you're there
All the time, all the way.

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for!
I can't help, it there's nothin' I want more!
I would fight for you,
I'd lie for you,
Walk the wire for you,
Yeah, I'd die for you!

You know it's true...
Everything I do, I do it for you."

After 3 days of no Internet

Hi! Haha! Finally I posted these posts up! It's been a few days. No, I still don't have connection at home. I'm in school. Just here to post the blog for now. Have to go to Arthropods lecture soon. In fact, I should go now. Haha! Later got Break Dance tryout. So excited! Haha!

Ok, gotta go. See ya!

Hai... internet connection at home is finally up. But it's so intermittent it's as good as none. Tomorrow move house loh... Dunno how everything's gonna turn out. May have to make a few trips here & there... Oh wells, at least it's gonna be a one-time thingy.

I got my Entomology stuff le... Die man. Doesn't look easy, this module. I need to go out & catch some insects for a presentation at the end of the semester lor. Have to kill them & preserve them, then lay them out & pin them & label them. I need my army uniform man. Brought my boots but didn't bring uniform. And the past few days, in fact, week, have been rainy & cold... It's gonna be difficult to capture all those lil' critters. They'll all be hiding la! And I need 45 specimens lor! No repeats! How to do with such kind of weather? Die die die...

I think there's a high chance I might be getting a mountain bike soon. $200 would equate to approximately 23 weeks of bus transport. Hmm... that's like, half a year! Is it worth it? I wonder... But then, when I leave this place, I can still sell the bike for a good sum of money, so it'd be quite a good investment right? I need to think this through some more.

Sometimes, he feels as though he's going mad. Sometimes, loneliness brings with it such painful memory of unloneliness. All the company in the world cannot compare to that of just one person... the person he loves. Can he persevere? Can she? Of course! Of course they can... they can...

Good evening!

Hai... today had a 12pm lecture. Nearly late sia... haha! But alright la, when I went into the LT, only a handful of ppl were seated, and Dr Young was mumbling about how he thought a mid-afternoon lecture would be perfect but apparently it wasn't so... Yeah. Anyways, after school went to Indooroopilly to shop again. Haha! WAH LAU! The quilts and covers and everything were like 25% off the price we bought lor! *slaps forehead* We could've saved alot if we bought it today instead lor. Haiyah, whatever la. Shopped for even more stuff! Electric jug (the kind can boil water one), sandwich maker (coz it was on offer, 2 for $25, the jug & this), iron, some more food... I had a very strong craving for chocolate & I realised I hadn't had any for so many days! So I invested in a Wonka Whipplescrumptious something something caramel bar. It was delicious, I tell u. To satisfy a craving with something really good... mmmm... ;) Oh, and we settled our electricity & phone line & internet stuff today too. So we'd have power & phone line the minute we moved in on Saturday. Unfortunately, internet has to wait for another 8 working days or so. Yeah... So we met Vivian & Vidhya (dunno if that's spelled correctly) & Jessica at the Food Court to get the keys so we could come home first. It was raining but we walked on anyways. Came back & cooked up a sumptious meal for 3! 5 packets of instant noodles, 7 fish fingers, 3 eggs, 2 rather large bunches of xiâo bái cài and 3 glasses of Pepsi. Sounds good? Haha! Tastes good too! But eating intant noodles for the past 12 days isn't exactly healthy is it? Haha! Don't worry. I'll be eating healthy again once we move to our new place! *excited* Oh, and a slice of rock melon each as well... hee!

Whilst I was bathing, I suddenly missed everyone in church. Ya... started to think of being with them, talking & eating together, going out, playing Captain's Ball, shopping, hanging around... oh-h-h... I really miss you guys (and girls, of course). How I wish I could go back and be in everyone's company again. =( And the next thing I knew, I came outta the bath & Jared told me Vidhya's going home! Like, wha-a-at? Why? When? Turns out, she's quitting the course & going home next week. Talk about going home man! Hai...

Needless to say, he misses her the most. Yes yes... you've all been reading about him missing her & him loving her and all. Boring right? Y'know, this is my blog. I can repeat as much as I want. But yes, he really does miss her. Wants to go back in June but doesn't have the money to. *hugs* but it's just air. *muacks* but it's just sound. Dreams are but a few nanoseconds long. Hold on, he tells himself... hold on...

Heya! G'day to y'all!

Had an 8am lecture again... Virology. Yep, talked about the different families & forms of viruses. Interesting y'know, but I didn't get to print the notes beforehand so I had to write everything on paper. Well, I do now! Went to print just now at POD (Print On Demand)... Was only 60c! Haha! Yep... And something terrible happened during lecture. It was about 15min into the lesson when suddenly, "Lalalalalalalalalalalala!" I hastily silenced it and ppl were giggling and the lecturer was smiling at me saying, "That is one weird sound!" and someone behind goes, "Yeah, send it to me!" and Dr Young goes, "Yeah, maybe u could send it to everyone," and he laughed, along with a few others. So embarrassing can! Haha! After lecture I found a bench somewhere & just napped for an hour in the lotus position. Haha! Then went for Virology prac. We were all standing outside the lab waiting for Dr Young to arrive. Then this girl started to talk to me. Actually I was quite sure who she was before that already, but she asked me if I knew Sarah. Yeah! And I proceeded with my name and her name, and she was quite surprised I knew her name & her face! Haha! But she said she saw me during orientation but wasn't sure if I was who I am. Anyways, she then introduced me to alot of her friends... who, not surprisingly, were girls. Mostly from NP, some from SP, TP & NYP... yeah. Talked for abit more, then Dr Young came le, so we all went in & took a seat... I was wondering if I should sit with them but figured I should let them all sit together instead. So it happened that whoever you sit with on the same bench were your group members for this module already. Oka-a-ay... My group wasn't so bad. The guy sitting next to me is Blake, an Australian. And the rest I didn't know their names but there was 1 malay girl & 2 chinese girls I think. So we're a group of 5. After Dr Young briefed us about the lab "rules" and assignments & stuff, we were free to go! All these took like 30min! Haha! So yeah, I was 1.5h early, so I walked Wee Leng home, just for the company... and to talk la, so next time lecture or what at least got ppl I can talk to, y'know? Yeah. She doesn't stay far from me so it was alright. Came home after that, didn't know what to do (at that time, I hadn't printed my notes yet), so I started watching Bionicle 3. Jared & Guoqian were doing their maths... haha! And Shuxian was watching some HK Drama on her laptop. Yeah... nothing much. Then Jared asked if I wanted to go sch, so we could apply for internet for our new place. Ok lor... So I borrowed Shuxian's keys (she asked me not to lose 'em again. Haha! Learnt my lesson) and left. In the end, Jared said UQConnect has a very expensive setup fee, so said wanna go Indooroopilly to do. But if we go, Shuxian won't be able to come home coz she has no keys & her lessons end at 4. So ok lor, tmr then go & do lor... anyway Thursdays are suburbs' late night mah. So we went to print my lecture notes, then wanted to go library to surf net, but sidetracked to the bookshop to buy some files instead. Then dun wanna go library le, so went to another bookshop to buy lecture pad, then walked home le lor. Reached home, wanted to finish watching Bionicle 3 but Jared wanna watch too, so we started from 1. Haha! Finish already then I continued to finish 3. So now here I am, blogging coz I dun wanna start studying yet. And I don't have internet connection to surf. *sigh* I wanna post my blog!!!

Tonight dinner dunno wanna eat what again. Probably will fry luncheon meat & sausages & eggs... Sounds like western meal? Haha! Yeah... it does. Except Western has chinken chop or steak or something but we're eating luncheon meat! How pathetic. I wanna move house faster! I want my own kitchen & my own fridge & my own food! And my own table & bed & everything! *whines*

[Abit later @ 1919]

Ok, we did fry luncheon meat & 2 sausages & egg (note: singular). And 4 packets of IndoMie. All shared among the 3 of us. =)

D'you think we're pathetic? Coz I do... haha! Every meal we eat at home so far is instant noodles. Occasionally we add other side dishes (like today), but most times, it's just noodles & a drink. How unhealthy. Haha! Yeah, well... wait till I move to my new place! Rice & veg! Here I come!!! *drools thinking about it* Ya, we hadn't had a meal that consists of vege for the past 10 days... Yeah! I know! Well, have la, the little pieces of lettuce in burgers lor. And if potatoes count as vege, then yes, we've had lots! But in a >slightly<>
Ok ok... I gonna bathe now. It's cold... not brrrr-cold but my hands are cold enough to move slower than normal. 25°C in the room. I'm sitting immediately under the ceiling fan that's on full blast. =)

Nice...

He misses her everyday. And yet, he loves her more & more. Does absence really make the heart grow fonder? He's not ready to doubt that, for fonder he feels, day by day.

Wanna tell you I love your way.
Wanna be with you night and day..."

"When a man loves a woman,
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else.

He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found.
If she is bad, he can't see it.
She can do no wrong.
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down.

When a man loves a woman...
... he'd give up all his comfort.
Sleep out in the rain
If she says that's the way it oughtta be.

When a man loves a woman,
I'll give you everything I've got
Trying to hold on to your precious love...
When a man loves a woman,

I know exactly how it feels,

Coz baby, I;m a man"

Good afternoon! No... it's still morning! Haha! And I'm home already. *sigh*
Had an 8am Arthropods lecture today. He talked about wasp & bees & ants & spiders & scorpions and their stings & venoms. It was just a brief introduction but it was enough for me to think I'm gonna enjoy this course. Yay! Lecture ended at 8.45am, and I had no direction. Waited downstairs for this girl I met on Orientation Day when I was talking to Jeanette Mar. Yeah, when she came down & saw me & I smiled at her and introduced myself & told her where we've met, she was like, "Oh-h-h! No wonder I was thinking how come you looked so familiar!" Haha! Ya, so we walked towards the library where she was headed, and chatted abit on our courses & my accomodation. Turns out she's taking Virology too! Unfortunately, she's in the Monday prac while I was in the Wednesday one. Now I have to group up with strangers... Oh wells. Anyways, went to the bookshop & the Copy Centre to help Jared & gang look for their MATHS2000 workbook but couldn't find. So I gave up & walked about the place waiting for their lessons to end at 10am. Went to BACS (Biological And Chemical Sciences) and Goddard Building SIB (School of Integrated Biology) to ask about my Insect Science course materials but apparently no one knew about it, and Dr Margaret wasn't around. So I was about to leave when I noticed this brown t-shirt with yellow-orange circles across the front at the SIB Enquiries Counter. It appears that it's the SIB t-shirt & it's selling at $18. It looked cool! Haha! So I asked about it and ended up buying it. I'll take a picture of it next time. =)


I need to print my Virology & Arthropods notes... shit. Today's lecture I write all on a piece of paper lor. Looks like tomorrow morning's lecture would be the same le. Did I say I lost the internet connection at home? Yeah, that's why I couldn't post last night's and today's. And I didn't bring my laptop to sch today so I couldn't even like download the notes onto my com la! Then wanna play Neopets also cannot... =P Hai... anyways, I'll continue my entry later la. Might take a nap now... or if I have reason enough, I might just go Indooroopilly Shopping Centre to browse...

See ya later!

[Later @ 1704]

Wah lau... *whines & whines* I lost the keys! Shit man... 3 days before we move out & I had to lose it... What's wrong with me sia?
Anyways, yeah, just came back from Indooroopilly Shopping Centre. Shopped for more stuff & spent more money. *shakes head* I'm really gonna have to scrimp man... There goes my K750i or W800i. =( Bought myself a quilt & quilt cover, that's $14.99 + $19, and a set of white bedsheets that includes 1 fitted sheet, 1 flat sheet & 1 pillow case, that's $19.99. Totals up to $53.98. And I found my anti-freeze! Haha! And perc too! How cool is that? For those who know, I'm ready for my handicraft anytime... Yup! Then we went around looking at mobile phone offers... The cheapest I saw was a K750i on the Optus network. $49 cap plan for 2yrs with a $15/mth installment, or $39 plan for 2yrs without anything else. Wanted the $39 one but there's like, very little talktime lor. But now it seems I wouldn't be getting any anyways...

Ok, I have nothing else to type for now... I just hope the internet will be up by tonight. *shrugs*

He's had a not-so-nice day... and oh, how he wished she were here to make everything nice, like she always used to do. He starts seeing her everywhere again. And each time, his heart just palpitates faster, and each time, the realization of the truth just brings him down harder. Missing someone isn't easy at all... =:(

G'day mate!

Was nearly late for my first lesson today! Haha! But made it anyways. It was Virology lecture. Dr Young just gave a brief outline of the coming semester and all, and that took about 40min. End of lecture! Then the next one was Arthropods & Human Health conducted by Dr Sassar or something like that.. He just talked about the semester for like 15min lor! Then he started the lecture liao. Most of us didn't even have lecture notes! Shit... haha! I need notebooks for my courses man. Anyways, he ended the lecture at 10.50am, and I was free already. So I went around the place, wandering into bookshops and libraries and ended up settling down in the Social Science library & configuring my laptop performance. Haha! Then I slept for about 50min then went to meet Jared & Guoqian & John. Went down to Toowong to look at fridge & washing machine & buy some groceries & look at what K-Mart has to offer. Then wanted to come back but 2 buses came by & we couldn't get up so we got frustrated & decided to walk home. Yep! Took us about half an hour.

Once we got home, we greeted our "land-ladies" but had to rush out again coz Louis was here already. He's Mei's boyfriend I think... yeah, whatever. So he drove us to his place to have a look at the things we needed. Wow! Like, so much can! Crockery, pottery & cutlery... sofa-bed, rice cooker, dining table, shoe rack, hangers... Everything was there! Cool! Haha! So we picked all that we required and gave him $200. And the smaller stuff, he helped us bring to DL's place for temporary storage so it'd be easier on Saturday. And then he sent us home. Cool!

Anyways, I'm gonna cook dinner & sleep early tonight. 8am lesson tmr! Oh, did I say I didn't collect the chemicals today? It's on Friday... haha! Crap...

He still thinks of her all the time. Today, she came to his mind even when he's in the loo, doing a multi-million dollar business! Haha! That's abit crude... sorry. But yeah, he's refurbished Windows to their favourite colors!

"... It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love..."
