Listening To : Goo Goo Dolls - Black Balloon Time Of Hallucination : 19.28
I guessed that the clock stood still for a while... ransacking all those hidden moments stashed in the weep holes of the memory vault... Little by little.. It had all came back.. The chemistry between us.. could forever be a mystery to me... I would give up forever.. just to seek the truth... It ain't a simple as it seems... Not my way back home ... So much for a dream...
It would take me forever.. to realize that everything's bleak... As I drew your face in the sand.. I know I'm down on a one way... one way into the unknown... Would you still visit me in my forbidden dreams?.. Would you come and visit me in the unknown land?... All that you can't leave behind...
Searching for the words that couldn't come into place...only to leave me high and dry... as my state of mind gave way to insanity.. I broke down yet again... No matter how hard I tried.. I just couldn't come clean with myself... So clean... I concede relationships have left me weak ....

Listening To : Goo Goo Dolls - Iris Time Of Hallucination : 17.13
While on my way back home in the cab with Colonel and Mak... the cliché phrase instantly attacked my mind.. " There isn't any banquet in this world that wouldn't end.... "
Sad Cliché.... Sad Cliché ...
Not really feeling lukewarm these days... but felt pretty much like shit... bad shit... Went to the terrible UOB early noon.. queued up to get my bank drafts and shits done... and the whole process took me two and a half hours... thanks to the 53 customers ahead of the queue... and the person who did the drafts made some mistakes and I had to wait... wait.. and wait... in conclusion... UOB Sucks...! and I'm still waiting for the fucking debit card... Looks like I'll be calling up the call centre tomorrow for the 3rd consecutive day to give them my piece of mind...
Hop in 198 and all the way to Queensway shopping centre... and met up with Colonel, SP, KaiWai and SBT... Shopped around.. always stays the same... and bus to Sim Lim where I scouted for the Ram prices... and off for lunch... then for the final event .. See Shaw-ing where I couldn't be bothered to take a single puff... Mah, Nick and Lee Ec popped by ... pretty fun day in fact ... Will be putting up the pictures soon...
Speaking of pictures... here's what I found off a free magazine ' Catalogue ' ...
* Yeah ... *

Listening To : FAKE? - Endless Time Of Hallucination : 13.10
Okay... Day 9... Have I Packed my luggage? NO.....
Yesterday.. met up with Uni mates.. SingNing... Rasid and Derrick... Initially met up @ Burger King.. and due to them overdosing of fast food in Newcastle.. we relocate ourselves to the food place Sakura on the 5th storey instead...
Talk about the uni year 3 manager and the expected shits I'll be doing this year... doesn't sound exciting at all really... Model making.. .free hand sketches... model making and free hand sketches... I think.. I'll be in D.E.E.P shit...
Anyway... the 3 of them gave me a pretty vivid / non vivid idea on Uni life.... and SingNing is kind enough to take me on a Newcastle tour... * hee * ... and thanks Rasid for the meal... ( it should be on me ! ) .... and after the meal.. chilled out at Borders Cafe... and talked more crap about the uni... sigh... I can't believe I'm leaving...... ..... .. . .. . . . .. . . . . ..
Oh ya.. I think I might had found someone to accompany me to the Velvet Revolver Concert.. hahahah !

Work held me back till late.. and had some wine sipping session with Peter, Aamer and James... as Aamer taught me how to open a bottle of wine... and I'm given an unexpected gift... considered one of the largest gift I've ever received in my entire life... yes... not be exaggerating... it would be in the top 5 LARGEST gift given to me...

Listening To : Placebo - Scared Of Girls Time Of Hallucination : 23.11
Yes.. I overslept again... * sigh *... I think I'm simply not in the right frame of mind to stay normal... Thoughts ran deep.. and my sleeping patterns suffers a bit... I've been returning home pretty late these days... much to the dismay of my parents... and today... I came home @ 21.45... 4 to 5 hours earlier than the night before...
Where am ? .. yes.. I overslept in the afternoon...and By the time Antonio was at the platform of Jurong east Station... I'm still inside the bus to Boon Lay Station... * haha * ... So.. our first stop was Far East Plaza... check out the small bottle of fragrant I wanted to get for her but... it turn out to be something that I need to get a burner to burn the fluid... something like a refreshing scent kind of thing... * hmmm *...
Went to the top floor to have my lunch... Hor Fan.. something I've been craving for... just wanted to have the dish before my regime of spaghettis and pasta and rice starts... and I went to get the Green Day shirt ... It was kind of overpriced... but it's a nice shirt with great details... so.. I'm Sinned ! ( again )
And next was CK Tangs... got to know that levis was on storewide 20% !.. apparently.. only the outlet @ CK Tangs was doing that...and later ..we spend so much time at the Seed section.. where we got our cheap Tees... And next was to Top Shop where I got 2 plain tee @ a dirt 13 dollars each...
Dinner was @ Fish N' Co.. Centrepoint... @ the end of the meal.. the manager requested us to fill in the service questionnaire... which I did... and the next page was the particulars... I did not fill in my mobile number... It'll be passed to my mum soon.. my address?... I wrote my Newcastle one instead...
Wanted to get myself a book from Times on a 20% but couldn't decide on the title.. and .. we actually walked all the way back to CK tangs before closing time to get my pair of jeans... hahahha... sinned...

Listening To : Inoran - Not A Serious Wound. Time Of Hallucination : 30/1 | 0200 - 10.10
Today.. was real busy.. woke up pretty late for the semi-meaning-less IDP... * Sigh *... me with me all alone... bored... anyway.. took the train and changed to bus 105.. so... I'm just 5 minutes late for this seminar...
When I walk in... and I saw Wendy... and caught up with her a bit and I walk towards the seminar hall.. choose seat and listen to the speakers speak about facts n' stuffs about aussie... and when the seminar is finished... I stumbled upon my uni's Student Union's desk... I specifically scanned for April knowing that she's attending this event as well... and ya... she'll remember me as the one who did not turn up for the Uni's BBQ @ East Coast....
Anyway... I hooked up with two fellow students who'll be like me... jumped into third year of Architecture... yeah.. they seemed to be nice people... Hope we'll help one another while we're there .... and After the seminar shit... Met Colonel for lunch and to pass him the Football Manager CD and return me my contact lens... but... he forgot to bring my lens !.. * sigh * ...
After the simple meal @ Mos Burger... window shopped @ Popular and I took the train home while he attended his session of seminar... First thing I did when I reached home was to check my email..
and I've finally found myself a house.. or a room actually... It's a wooden one meaning I'll be froooozen to death during winter... but.. what to do... for a AUD 90 / week house.. This's the benchmark I'll have to live with ... Don't have much choice actually.... Maybe I'll consider my options when my leasing period is being honored.. but @ least I've found myself a fixed place to stay ... now.. a part time job's next ....
14 Lee Crescent, Birmingham Gardens
My room.. without furniture... Worry not.. they'll be in when I arrive.... : )
oooh.. there's even a bath tub ! ! .....
The weekly rent is AUD 90 / week.. but I'll get it for $80 per week... the catch... I'll have to do the lawn once every 2 weeks... Each session last for 1.25 hours... * hahahahaa *.... not bad... a week I can save 10 Bucks ... a month would do $40 bucks... for 2 hour's work ....
I took a 45min - 60 min nap... and woke up in time to get myself changed... my mum and I hitched a ride from my sister to Outram Park Station... accompanied mum while waiting my sister and bro-in-law to arrive .. just to kill some time and being filial.. * : ) *.... around 7.30... I left for Bugis with slow slow steps.. predicting that the girls would be late....
We fixed to meet over at the money changer side along the street... and I couldn't see them...Arh... there're late ! .. but.. In fact... they're earlier than myself.. hiding in a corner of the walls and couldn't spot them until Huiting called...
She suggested suggested eating @ shops along the lane of the streets.. but I thought of eating pastas... so I suggested ' that pasta shop - couldn't recall the name ' over @ the corner of Bugis Junction...
Took an outdoor seat... suddenly the rush of nostalgia overwhelmed me .... cause it had been such a long time... a few years since I've seen Hui ting... and the last time I saw Isabella was a few months back... To be honest... I'm very glad to see the sisters again...
I ordered some light Chicken sandwiches... Isa had her lighter cheese sticks... and hungry Huiting got her customized pasta cooked... and sneaky Huiting went to foot the bill .... while on her way back from the washroom... which... I realized only the scam only I realized we've left ' without ' footing the bill.... which shocked me a little... * : ) * .... It's so nice of them to give me a little farewek
While @ the pasta restaurant... Derrick ( Who's on his way to TCC to meet Rasid.. ) , my Uni and poly senior spotted me... as we spoke about the uni shit and my accommodation... whom later warned me about the freeezzzing temperatures living in a wooden house.... * sigh *... Bo Bian... no money is like that one... and Thomas Panda passed by as I told him I'll be leaving soon.... and he told me to keep in touch via email...
As we moved on.. we couldn't get a decent seat over @ TCC.. so Huiting bought us to Can cafe... and we took the lousy roadside seats.... Isabella had some Cafe Vienna... Usual Cafe Latte for me.. while HuiTing got some funny tea for herself...
we had a really good laugh @ Hui ting who couldn't seem to take a good picture of me and Isabella... anyway.. she switched on the flash to save the day ...
Had a pretty good time catching up with them... and their passion for cars and ... driving license. Isabella got hers a few months ago while Huiting would be taking her first test in May... me... ? Unknown....
As we left the cafe @ 10 plus... Isabella insisted that she'll foot the bill... hmmmm~ ... looks like I'll have to get something good for the both of them.... Took the train to Raffles Place... and transferred to a cab... Until next year .... .... * Sigh * ...
I dropped of @ west mail... meeting Mah to talk cock... bought a drink and went over to the void decks... chatted about everything under the sun... how time files... I remember the last time I'm counting down the days.. it's still like 122 days ... now... I'm leaving my job... and I'm with 13 days... till it hit less than 10 days... I'll break down and cry ... .
No.. my luggage isn't packed yet... although I've kept aside some essentials and stuffs.... @ times as I felt so lost... my mind stopped in it's tracks to a blank... Tomorrow held a more significant meaning to me and every minute I have till the day I go... would be cherished....
Somehow .... I'm losing losing my hard fought battle to fear... they'll always have an edge over me... anticipating the fights with loneliness every night before I sleep... complete with flashes of the memories I have months ago in Singapore...
I slept late yesterday @ 3am... but I woke up @ 8.30... wouldn't get more rest.... full of thoughts... full of thoughts...

Each and every day passed me by.. mercilessly... Leaving me those infectious disease... slowly slowly.. making my brain decay and I'm breaking up into fragments of my infinite sadness.. I have long gave up in search for the perfect antidote. Following the invisible route to a certain unknown. Recurring nightmares that's been keeping me sane. Come back to me a while....

Damn I'm worn out... Yesterday met up with Kitty ( whom I thought our next dinner would be a year later... )... and Yeow Heng after work... and I thought I'm late again.. to my surprise... Yeow Heng's still in his office... Hahaha... and I went in Borders to read my Architectural Records...
Later on.. hook up with the both of them... checked out the restaurant opposite NYDC .. but.. I suddenly thought of BLOOD cafe.. which Kelly and I find it too un appetizing... just maybe give it a try ... my last 17 days in Singapore...
But.. I think the cafe is just meant to be a cafe... Salads and salads... red wine... coffee... blah .... and we walked down Orchard Road.. and settle on Lips @ Cineleisure... I had a steak... bad choice I know... but.. there's nothing else.. !
Oh what a view ....
Yeow Heng
I do not have enough hair to do her gothic hairstyle... hahhah...
Work was ok today.. chatted with a cool Malay dude who's came to my office for interview... and he's from Newcastle too... the same batch with SingNing and Rasid... learnt a lot about Newcastle and he seems to be sure ( like Rasid felt )... that I'll have the time of my life there... * hahahah... * .... funny ....
Could type more... but.. I have shits to do...

Early morning... I woke up.. and accompanied my mum to UOB to add her name into my Campus account. and I felt terribly sick. My throat was so dry and sore that I wouldn't want to speak as my legs felt weak after popping in the flu pill the night before. I felt terrible ....
When I reached home around 12 plus... I took a nap.. and I overslept. Along the way to Clementi Interchange.. .I realized I've been late for my appointments for the second consecutive day... and the reason.. overslept... and for Wednesday and Thursday... I'm also late for work... reason... overslept...
on board the bus... I almost couldn't recognize Kit. hahaha... stopped by @ Far Eats Shopping Center... Got her Strepstils while I got my Evian Mineral Water. Dropped by Zara and got my long sleeve Tee @ 16.50.. the only piece fabric that cost me under $20 dollars you can find in Zara. and and and.. we combed Orchard until we took a bus to Bugis. Finally Finally ... Finally got my pencil case... hahhaha...
Dinner @ Billy Bombers was pretty good actually... Set Meal Honey Ribs and Chicken breast meat for me... while she had the tasty Steak... and our last deserts...
WHAT A big SLICE?!
Soul mates never die...
... Slack @ Billy Bombers till 9plus... had a really long overdue-d chat with her... and bought my concealer from Red Earth with the shop's shutter 1/2 closed. ... and we took the train down to Clementi where I met ah Mah... went over to his house and checked my email...
... hook up with Melvin and Nick.. the four of us took a cab down to Colonel's Farewell Chalet... we even suspected we've landed at the wrong place cause all we've seen were some unknown faces sitting in the living. and we called SBT to open the main gate for us...
A Horse 1/2 dead...
A Visual Definition of Morons...
SBT taking a break from thinking of a way to torture the poor cat takes a bite off the chicken wing....
Where's the rest?... what else.. MAJONG.. !
Boys... will always be boys...
Me with psycho Lee EC
Pervert Mah isn't touching himself... he's jamming on his 'guitar 'with a pick he found... complete with the ' Matrix ' background...
After so much wrestling actions... Mah is 3/4 dead....
Oh.. who's That?... It's SP LIM under the bodies !.... but looks like a mass orgy instead....
So.. after all that stupid wrestling and the other's Majong session ended... all of us cramped in our room... trying to fall asleep... but.. as I'm sleeping at the Bay window... it's pretty cosy but cramp @ the same time... so.. One by One.. we went over to the Majong Room to talk cock.. leaving only Mah, SBT and Lee Ec in the bedroom...
and some of us got hungry.. so.... it's time to cook ! .. no.. I'm not doing the cooking... but it's Colonel ( who woke up tipsy ) ... Choong and Ah Hoong... while some of us caught Barcelona VS. ?? live on TV...
Us having supper in the dead of the night... Megee mee with Satay with prawns....
The bay window's ledge which I tried to fall asleep on.... but.. the aircon's too cold !
Walking down memory lane ...
And we went in 2 separate cabs... Me, Nick and Mah in one.. Sp and SBT in another ... I don't know but... I felt that the taxi driver was going the wrong way or rather.. a longer way .. ... hmmm ...
Written on 25th Jan - Anyway... When I reached home after chalet... start to pack my luggage a little... and Kelly called... so.. I booked the tickets to .. a film which I longed to see... Dare mo shiranai - Nobody knows.. Young Yûya Yagira beat Andy Lau at the recent Cannes Film Festival ... wonderful wonderful actor there...
The tempo of the film was sadly slow... but I loved the director - Hirokazu Koreeda certain filming philosophy... for example.. the long flight of staircase... which might really meant so much to the young Akira... he'll be walking past the flight almost every time... when his mother left the house.. When he rode home with his new friends.. when he and his siblings were having fun up and down the stairs... I just felt so poetic about the whole " staircase trips "
@ the end of the movie... Kelly got a terrible headache... which made me worried a bit... I think it's the ending less ending and the slow tempo of the show that made her felt sick... I send her home and I took a cab home...
Oh.. for the last 5 work day cum appointment days... I'm consecutive late... all due to me being overslept... a new record... and she's really pissed... : (
Work today was bad... kanna scolded again... * sigh *... I am seriously distracted... by so many things and I even sms-ed to the wrong person 2 times... What am I thinking?! ... too distracted .. trying to find a cheap accommodation for myself... sigh.. * aarrg ggggg !.. * ...
Hope tomorrow would be better... Dining with Kitty and YeowHeng... haven seen Yeow Heng for ages... and the best of all .. he's treating me to dinner tomorrow ! * yeah ! * ...

Listening To : Jamelia - Superstar Time Of Hallucination : 22.57
Can Someone DONATE some time to me ? I would be telling a Class A lie if I tell you I'm cool about it ( the whole thing )... I'm getting cold feet... and I realized that there's indeed someone whom I couldn't bear to leave behind in Singapore....
Work was ok but wasn't the best ( enjoyable ).. somehow.. the overall mood changes drastically as compared to 3-4 months before when I first stepped into our small office. Now that I'm leaving my office... sure it feels weird.. for better or for worse ...
For some reasons... I feel that life had been pretty good to me... Day in day out.. day out day in... I've been keeping myself very very busy.. by meeting my closer friends... I'm absolutely touch when Kitty cancelled her appointment to go shopping with me... cause it's a pretty last minute decision... it's just this kind of gesture that makes you realize that.. these are the people whom you could fall back on... thanks Keaaa~ tieeee ! I'll get you a beautiful Diary when I come back ! ...
Speaking of getting things for my mates when I come back... SP Lim wanted me to get him a Koala ... * Gee *... rest assure I'll get it for you lah... : ) ... which brings me to a point... When.. or rather.. which month I'll be coming back.. or how long my stay in Singapore would be... hmmmmm.. ... beats me.. But I'll definitely be back here in Singapore during the Chinese New Year Period...
Someone's getting hitched today.. and someone'll be having fun tonight... All their bridegrooms were clad in white shirts with black ties... which really reminds me of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.
Sad to say .... Marriage is ONLY a piece of PAPER .....
My new Matinique pants... Bought last year before Christmas but collected a few days ago on 15th ... hahahha...
Tanner! .. u'r lamp ... !
Went for my poly gathering just now... we lunch over @ Kenny Rogers, Suntec. not too bad... had a great time catching up with Michael... who I'll be seeing more of him in Sydney... Yat Seng... I hope he'll join me in Newcastle next year...Fong Ming.. Hui En... Nicole and Desmond...
Some are working as Architect's assistant... Interior designers... furniture designers... draughtsperson... hmmmm... all of us had embarked on our careers... wonder what would we have become years later.... Architects... Designers... * hahhahaa * ....
After Lunching.. Nicole and I went shopping... Suddenly I was lost on what I needed to scout for... All I remembered was shoes and Shirts... so.. we just windowed shopped around Marina Area... Evening.. we walked over to Suntec to meet his ' hubby ' Jeff to have our dinner.. at .... Ma Mansion....
And that's where I spotted the Tanner's Lamp.

After a few hiccups along the way... Kelly and I finally got to meet up... Around 6.. I left home.. and along the escalator up to the train platform @ Bonn Lay MRT.. I spotted CYH who is just ahead of me... such a coincidence ! ... So.. glad that I've got company through my journey... Kelly and I were scheduled to meet @ 7.30.. When I told her that I'll be late... and she sms-ed me this...
" Idiot. U always late when meeting me hor.! " ... hahahaa.... and I saw her.. on the same flight of escalator with me @ city hall.. and I stood real close to her to make her realize that I'm here.... Along the way... went into Isetan to collect my pants...
As she's getting hungry.. I suggested that we have those Hokkien Prawn Mee for dinner... and her face instantly turned black cause I assumed that it's without chili... which doesn't help much for her gastric.... * Sigh *...
Shopped around Harley Norman as she might be getting a lap top for her future studies... and fagged @ the Fountain of wealth. cab to china town. 1292. but.. it's full . Called Robertson quay... and It's also full... and we walked around Chinatown to Neil road. Tanjong pagar' ura to Maxwell and to raffles place and china square back to Maxwell . Bought drinks or rather deserts and hop in a cab to Quality.
And we found out that the windows are closable... as the the handle came off and the window leaf couldn't be closed fully... as the both of us struggled to shut it.. haha.. I used the thread of my pant to hinge it.. and close it... Flipped through the New Paper and watched cable on the wall hung TV. the MTV I saw.. Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day... nice song...
We made it from 2am to somewhere 4am... it's been ages I must say... and now.. I missed every bit of her... her gentle touches could kill every cell in my body... and for the first time in many years... went down... ...
We stayed up late for a chat where she disclose some of her miserable events recently... and went off to sleep.. she woke up around 12pm... and walk to a near by hawker for breakfast and walk back. read papers we've bought and see TV ( again ). went to swim... sauna and checked out the gym.
Soon.. we left the place... and we walked from quality to novena square. It's such a long walk but enjoyable. Took a train to AMK. had some decent steamboat and sent Kelly home. Its been so long since I've every spent some quality time with her... So Long...

Listening To : Eskilo - Dalai Lama Time Of Hallucination : 20.52
Hmmm... have been pretty busy these days... So.. Monday... Colonel Quek had finally received his confirmation from his UQ.. and I took ah last minute 1/2 day leave so that we could go down IDP for our Visa.
And guess who we saw... Chew Chee Keng and Koh WeiQi... hahaha.... they're jetting over next year... and bla bla bla... did our Visa online through the IDP staffs... and that cost me $5... and the whole process took us quite some time...
Monday's different.. Cause that IDP place is pretty remote... Colonel and I would take a Cab down... but.. that day after everything's done.. we took 105.. cause I remembered that LiZhi and I took 105 to get out of the IDP area...
Happily.. we reached the bus stop.. and 105 came.. and ... we realized we're in the wrong direction... cause Colonel had time to spare... I suggest that we'll drop @ Serangoon to snack.. cause I haven't been there since we went on our separate ways...
The park's still the same... the muddy walkway after rain... the stone steps that we used to walk on.. everything... that came back in an avalanche of nostalgia... that slowly erode your mind... the same old pale curtain that dancing in the air... I could imagine seating within that room... with her black hi fi set on my right... and her breathing soul on my left...
Although sad... but the accidental trip is definitely worth it... anytime...
Tuesday... went on 1/2 day leave again... and left for some place behind Heeren for my X ray... cause.. don't know why... we had to take some kind of passport photos via a digital camera... for some crappy reason... ( maybe Quek's portrait still uncannily resembles Shrek... ).. after his pict was taken.. the camera went dead on me...
and I'm being delayed... after being a multi watt light bulb when Colonel met his significant other for lunch.. we took the train back to Paragon... for our medical...crappy.. waited for 60 minutes... and time spend in the doctor's consultation room - 30 seconds.
Shopped a bit with colonel...and he got his Red Loop! ... and I went off to Harbour Front Tower to meet Nicole... I had to collect my camera while she need to change her camera's casing.. and later accompanied her to Gim moh ( Spelling ) to get her specs done...
So.. Wednesday .... tired... got my hair trimmed a bit... for free... the auntie staying 2 storeys below me refused to charge me... * sigh * ... such a nice person she is....
" TA TA ! "
I'm gonna catch Slash's Velvet Revolver LIVE in Sydney ! * Yeah ! * !.... after... almost after 10 years of wait....

Finally... it's once again Friday... another week down.. another week closer... Kind of felt weird actually... as always... been on Email with Edwin Pa Chey Raj... and Ah Du... Raj would be in Perth, Uni Western Australia... While Colonel would be in Queensland... Du would be in the same state as me... but.. 3 hours of train ride apart...
Work was pretty ok... first week of the year... Monday to Wednesday was relaxing... cause Aamer's out of town... Not that we slacked all the way through but.. there're relaxing moments... while working on our drawings...
Thursdays ... was our nights out.. we watched Aladdin... presented by W!LD RICE.. a group that Aamer supported.. it's being written by Selena Tan and directed by Glen Goei. Show's @ Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel. I think it's the first paid play that I've ever attended... After that .. was dinner at the expensive and not so tasty food restaurant at Raffles Hotel ground floor... lousy food...
hmmmm .... Tomorrow would be very very weird for me... joining my Uni pals for BBQ @ East Coast... and None of them I've seen before... except one for whom I've contacting through Email... and I think I knew one of them, Derrick...

30th Dec - Pretty exhausted... had a slight headache now too... I suspect it's my long overdue-d contact lens wearing... haven't really found time to buy myself a new box of lens...
Yesterday... 29th Dec, I met with my sister after work @ West Mail.. to get my Compaq notebook... after an internal struggle of which brand to buy... my aesthetic obsession of the Compaq took over me... and I surrendered...
And the night before.. I called up several branches of Harvey Norman to check for the stock and there's only one piece left @ Millennia Walk.. But Yesterday afternoon... Mah informed me that.. miraculously there's one in his store... which I suspect it's a display set... * Hmmmmm * ....
Had dinner @ MOs Burger with Antonio.. and we walked around in town... I want to get myself two books from Kinokuniya cause I've had these 2 20% off coupons... I initially planned to get myself a $49 plus color theory and matching book and a Japanese novel...
but heaven had other plans for me... * LOL *... I chanced upon a better color book - Colors - Architecture In Detail... it's still fresh from the Oven and wasn't displayed on the shelves yet... Flipped thought the pages... and had an easy time convincing myself to get that although it's @ $73 bucks... saw another color theory book.. it's @ $26.. so I thought I might as well get the 2... so.. after the discounts... I'm officially $80 bucks poorer.... Sinned...
Anyway... I've got a piece of great news for myself.. I'll be able to catch my all time favourate Guitar hero, SLASH... Live.. in Sydney !... 23rd Feb.. Slash would never tour Singapore so.. the closest I'll ever get to him is in Australia... and the closest I've ever is... almost booked a flight to Adelaide to his concert a few years back.. but... it's being cancelled in the last last minute... So.. after so many years.. I finally have the chance to see him LIVE !...
31st Dec. Last day of the year... Early in the morning... Went over to UOB to get my Student account.. only to find out that I need the authentic Hard Copy of the COE ( Cert Of Enrolment ) to be able to open the account... * sigh *... so.. that'll have to be delayed...
Afternoon.. I Cleared / Installed / Explored my new laptop... Clean up my room.. and shits... sigh... and my new FAKE? dvd had arrived!.. not too bad.. it's FAKE?'s last tour - Tour Of Losing Touch - Shibuya AX... when I played the first track.. The stage setup resembles the live in the previous DVD so much... except for Inoran's Stage / Amp position.. and Pablo's Hairstyle...
Chatting session was always great with them... complete with Pizzas and KFCs.... reached home @ 5am... semi drenched from the rain... and unsettled by the mystery caller... * Sigh * ....
New Year's Day - Woke up @ 2pm... and 1/2 of my day was gone... 2004 was equally cured and blessed... a bittersweet package. When you have the bads... the goods would follow... and when you have the goods... the bad would follow... Wonder what's in Store for me...
So.. my January Friend had arrived... ( Track no.4 from Goo Goo Doll's Dizzy Up The Girl LP )... Somehow... I hope that Time would slow down this month... Starting to feel the heat already...
Anyway... Happy New Year All !

Listening To : Sweetheart - Dreamscape Time Of Hallucination : 23.11
Whether I like it or not... Stereotyping is here to stay for me... Maybe that's just purely human nature... Once they had established a certain perception of you... That's it.. the view point is here to stay.... So... I'll have to live with it....
On another note... I don't if it's me or what... I seems to have lost the ability to communicate... I seemed to have switched to another frequency... I don't understand what the other party was trying to say... but.. now I'm chatting with Charles and SP Lim... not much brain errors leh ..
On another another note... as the date was coming closer.... my preparations are closing up... made a tentative flight booking which is on the Feb13th. either @ 0900 or 2000.... on BA / Qantas.... 6 hours flight... Setting up an new bank student account... with incentives of no charges for drafts and TT.... wonderful ....
On another another another note.. there's this term in Architecture... that's Form Over Function or vice versa.. Function Over Form... it's simply a debate whether Form - Overall Appearance and shape... or Function - the capability and the practicality of the product...
So.. I'm in a dilemma... The Compaq is so beautiful and sleek... and yet... the graphic card is a shared one.. and the specs isn't that all great too... for $2500.. I could get a Dell with a ATI Graphic card.... so... I'll would fall for Compaq's killer looks.... and.. I'll like to have a better notebook with better specs... Charles... Charles... Save mE.... !
On another another another another note... There IS no another note..... * Peace *

Listening To : Smashing Pumpkins - Infinite Sadness Time Of Hallucination : 22.45
I Walked Alone.. I walked along... In search for my dreams and passion... Along the way... Inevitably I would fall... Along the way... I'll Win...
Over the past few days... It's kind of hard for me mentally... Maybe it's the counting down of the days had taken a deadly toll on me... I know that I should be glad... I know that I should be happy... setting sail... which means saying goodbye to my everyday life... my family and friends...
As I type... I recalled Aamer's words to me... " It kind of fun actually... You could assume someone's else's identity in a place where no one knows you... and working part time and sourcing for food... you could turn it into a game.. like Survivor... "
Well... for someone who'd had taken 3 jobs at one time in London... I salute him... For me? I'm just embarking on a quest into the darkness.... Sometimes... I don't really believe in predicting and forecasting the future... cause I believe... Heaven had other plans for you... " Ren Suan Bu Ru Tian Suan ".
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
These few days was really nothing special... That day I went shopping with Mah... Our usual monthly shopping session would come to a close soon... Maybe one last session before I jet. So... he too.. fell victim to the Levis Red Loop Jeans... @ an insane $170 ! .. which reminds me of myself one year plus ago when I bought mine... Once I tried in the fitting room... I never wanna take it OFF !... * LOL *....
That shopping day left me feeling pretty guilty... SGH called me that afternoon.. The Staff nurse ( who was very kind to me in my last visit ) asked if I'm able to drop by to make my platelet donation... and due to my working schedules... I couldn't make it...and I forgot to give them a call today... * Sigh * ... Next was the Bata saleslady... whose face turns slightly disappointed when I told her I need to consider for a while...
Anyway... I bought the gifts for my irritating older niece... A Strawberry Shortcake figure and a Strawberry Shortcake Storybook for my younger niece... and I.. Bought the stationary I need overseas... one box of colour pencils.. 3 A4 Butter paper... a Pen knife.. A4 Folder... and a cutting mat.. Total cost for these materials ? = $50 plus ! ....
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Boxing Day... I went to help out with my Brother In Law with a few simple cable detection procedures @ Kaki Bukit. and went all over scouting for his targeted Toyota Wish... later.. had the steamboat buffet @ Marina South... and the food was bad... real bad.... It just make you give up Steamboat altogether... and while eating... she smsed me if I'll be free today..
and said she won't be working .... Hmmm.... maybe bigger companies had better benefits for workers... anyway... I just told her I had to work... after Steamboat... Went to West mail to visit Mah... Initially wanted to get my Compaq laptop... but.. the salesman pissed my Brother In Law... and so... My purchase of my laptop was delayed till.. I don't know when... I want my Laptop !... ! * Heex.... *
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Work was bored today... totally bored... although I've got task to be completed but.. I had no drive and motivation for it... I'm just looking forward to Thursday... cause I'll be shopping after work and Friday I'll be on OFF !... and The weekend.. would be NYE already... Hope that next year'll be better...
These few night... had been chatting more with my mum... and both of us are equally unsettled by my jetting... The feeling is much worse than enlisting into the Army... * Oh Well... *.. I couldn't leave and I couldn't Stay....
My Stormy and uncertain road was absolutely nothing as compared to the people who are affected by the tsunami and the quakes... Shattered dreams and lost lives... The boundaries between the ocean and the line was blurred... The trees and cars and trucks found their way to an unfamiliar territory... - the sea... as I watched the news... my heart ached... Tragedy never comes knocking on doors... it simply smashes one to get through...
It's almost like the End Of The World... Why must the helpless innocent suffer?... It doesn't pay... it doesn't pay... Why ? just why... Life's Cruel .... That's why .... I hope that... the world would be a better place next year ...
- By The Way... that's Maggie Chung in the Picture above...

Listening To : J - Tomorrow. Time Of Hallucination : 21.30
It's starting to freak me out actually... tomorrow would be the 23th of December... and It'll be Hello 2005 and Goodbye 2004... I still clearly remembered what I did last new year's eve... but I guess this year.. would not be another repetition of last year's... and I can't foresee how it'll be last for next year's New year's eve..
It's always a sad cliché to say @ the end of the year .. " How time flies... soon it'll be another year... ". Time doesn't fly... Birds fly.. Superman flies... Time... DON'T fly... and I sat down and slowly recall some of the events that happened in 2004... took a nostalgia walk in my archives 2 and 3. Finally... I can come clean and move on from the shitty army lifestyle... Anyway ....
Cause Aamer's getting KaWai's Friend to come in to revamp our super outdated website... I did a search in www.google.com... " Aamer Taher " .. and guess what I saw...
" ... Preferring to design homes rather than mega-projects, Oei worked as an architect with Aamer Taher Design studio for a year. The economic crises struck, ... "
and I'm like... ' Eh ? ' ... Oei? who's Oei.. and I sort of find this name Pamela Oei's in Glenn Goei's 1999 Forever Fever movie ! ... Oh... ATDS has a movie star! ... I've never seen her face though.... how she looked liked ? ... * hmmmmmm * ...
Work was pretty Okay these days.. less error prone... * heh *... For the past few days... I'm on Sentosa Cove and Jalan Naga Sari... and not on Frankel ! * Hurray *! ... and I have to get JNS's Tender by this Friday... Left the office at 12 today... Got my demand draft from posb and head down to Plaza Singapura to join Colonel Sir. and his friend for lunch..
and took a cab to IDP to settle our deposit... I had to hang around ( Gosh... I saw someone resembles Kelly so much... ) the lobby aimlessly cause my counselor, Wendy was no where to be seen... but luckily.. she appeared some 20 minutes later... Settled my payment and got some of my queries answered.
Sort of made a tentatively flight booking.. ( Subject to availability ).. which should be either on the 11th, 12th or 13th of Febuary next year... and I actually planned for 14th - 17th for departure.. which is impossible actually.. cause my start date of my semester is on 14th Feb. ( I got a shock when I learn of the commencement date today )...
and suddenly... I got a little cold feet over the departure date... although it's only brought forward by a few days as planned... I just felt so much like a dying man... I forced myself to look at the things and people surrounding me from a different perspective... MRT rides... streetscape's sound and scene... My home especially... my family.. my friends... My life would be entirely different.... and insecurities all over me ...
and whenever I felt shitty all over my studies and my uncertainties ... This comes to my mind... :
That's Sail Away From The Safe Harbor..... and I'm sailing away.... anyway... I so be feeling fortunate that I'm blessed with a chance to sail... anyway ~ ...
My latest issue of i-D magazine was pretty cool ... the ' Celebration Issue ' which is the 250th issue of i-D. on the pink cover was No Doubt's Gwen Stefani. This issue features 269 cool and upcoming individuals around the world... ( I thought It might be a good 250 )...
Anyway.. Guess who I saw... Mr. Najip Ali ! ! ... * sigh *.... I'm not so much of his fan... but.. maybe he should be glad that he's the second Singaporean who made it into the hip i-D. First was Jacelyn Tay... a beautiful picture by Johnny Clang...
... anyway.. this issue's like.. interviewing all of the 269 people.. with the same question. Quite interesting actually...
Their questions
1 - My Greatest achievement so far is...
2 - 25 Years ago I was ...
3 - The best advice I've been given is ...

2 - 25 Years ago... I am hoping I'm not the one who'll come into this world.. and now.. I'm just feeling bittersweet that I've made it ( here )...
3 - It would sound so cliché but.. I've been encouraged and advised - " Follow your passion and chase your dreams ".
4 - My Family and friends.... ( So Cliché again )
5 - Make it to the list of 20 Upcoming Architects under the age of 45 list.

Yesterday's Jamming session was kinda fun... sort of anyway... hmmm... Should be my last jamming session in years to come... gonna clean up Izabella and remove her strings... preparing for her semi retirement... Actually.. I almost couldn't make it to the Jamming studio... but.. luckily the rain stopped just in time... and took a cab down to J.E ...
We did quite a few songs actually.. and some of the numbers.. I couldn't play at all ..* Ahahaha * ... We did Chemical Romance's ' I'm Not Okay ' ... All American Reject's ' Swing Swing ' ... Gn'R's Knocking On Heaven's Door... hhmmmm .... After the session.. we went to McDonald's where poisonous food are being served...
Xiangz went on ... talking about the old band we used to have... How I got so pissed by someone called Fabian that I refused to play in the studio.. How Vincent started playing with Xiangz.. how... I spotted Xiangz had a keen interest in drumming... How Ah Fa started to play bass... and describes my embarrassing moment at the Band Alert 2000 Contest... Good Old Days.... Good Old Days... Maybe till Vincent and yours truly returns home... then.. reunion jam... * LOL * .... till then... It'll be 2 minutes to a blister....

After Nick's Email came... It struck me that ... I think many of us couldn't wait to get our asses out of town... and I'm included as well... my life itself isn't getting more exciting... Plus... I need to escape to a faraway place.. where I couldn't really be contacted.. no Radio to listen to the junk music scene.. No TV for entertainment and the news... just between the ocean and myself....
I hope that the weather would be good to us in mid January.. where we might embark on the last ever Jin Gang overseas outing... where we could once again be in the arms of the blue ocean.... I missed the fine sand.. I missed the clear waters... I missed the unblocked view into the horizon... I missed everything in Rawa...
Tomorrow's a Monday again... I pray that my work week would be smooth... No more last minute assignments .. no more stupid errors on my part... and looking forward to a monotonous Jamming session with the boys on Wednesday... and I'm getting my $17.50 i-D Magazine tomorrow... after considering for the last 10 days whether I should get it... well... SINNED !! ! !! ! ! ! ..... but.. it's i-D magazine.... * Sob Sob *... 25th anniversary issue leh .... *tsk*
And.. Finally... My ' Lethargic ' mood has finally been changed to ' Pissed Off ' ... Just kind of pissed.. Although I'm STILL feeling very much lethargic.. ( as Always ) .... Maybe not to that degree of being Pissed Off.. but.. maybe somewhere close to it... and to a certain extend... I Wished I'd Never Met You .....

I return home with back ache, stiff neck and headache... without fail.. it's been like that every day since last week... and today was no exception... and work was of course... endless... just like the waterfall that came crashing on me...
and when I felt fucking frustrated... It just reminds me of ' Broko Ah Loke... ' who shouted... " Zhou Bui Liao Ah ! AARrrrgggGG.... " ( read - endless work ) ... and no one really hears my silent scream anyway... and every time.. sure something weird about something would pop out .. and would have to kill trillions of my brain cells for a solution... I hate it !... and I'm always working against time and deadline.... * sigh * ..
And the stupid thing is that.... I'm already counting down to my last day in the office... and that'll be 33 more working days... * Wahhahahaa *... I just hope that I can be involves in another job aspect of this line...

Listening To : Placebo - Twenty Years Time Of Hallucination : 1300
( Written over the last 3 days .. ) .. finally ... this week came to a close with a big bang... ( literally ) ... with SBT's Oei Oei Oei... Work was as busy as usual.. * sigh *.. I couldn't actually remember when's the last day which I slacked in the office... Heex... I think... I might be able to shift to a lower gear during Mid January.... but till the time comes... .... .... every single minute and second counts... to precious to slack...
While working midway through the day... Aamer went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for us.. and shouted.. " Zhengping.. come down.. I teach you how to cook.. you're going to Australia soon... ! " and the 3 of us upstairs.. stared @ one another and... " ^ ^ ! ? "
So.. Went down the stairs and joined him in the kitchen.. made a fool out of myself.. don't know what to do also.. I struggled @ slicing the onions.. tomatoes.. and have oil over a wet pan with flame below... yes you got me right.. WET pan over flame with cooking oil in it.. and it just goes.. pop pop pop.. * sigh.. * How could I possibly had forgotten mum's cooking rule ? * sigh *...
Next.. was the eggs.. out of 3 eggs I cracked opened... only.. 1 had an unbroken egg yore... damn embarrassing and later.. Aamer 'suan (1) ' me @ the dining hall... about those contributions I've made... * hee * and at the end of the ' Jamie Oliver with the amateur student session ' .. yours truly is convinced that I can't cook to save my life...
Today.. straight after work.. Karen and I took 106 to town and I thought I saw Singapore Idol's Daphne Khoo on the same bus... but.. I wasn't all that sure anyway... met Colonel sir in Kinokunya.. with the intention of getting SBT a book... but.. with some advice from Mah... I dropped the idea... scouted around.. and Colonel thought that... maybe a cake might show more sincerity...
Anyway... I splash out a hundred bucks for SCDA's Book.. although... I wasn't a SUPER big fan or them.. but I thought that this book's worth collecting.. since this is after all.. the 1st Singapore firm featured in the ' Master Architect Series ' ... so.... Sin-ed Sin-ed ... !
later on.. took bus no. 7.. back to Holland Village... * sigh * as expected.. Colonel and I were late by 1/2 an hour but still.. ended up the earliest ... as predicted... and we went over to Swensen's to check out the cake.. and decided on the cookies and cream.. which tasted great anyway... and later on.. came Tanner.. SBT and Backstreet Boy ... " get down.. get down.. and move it all around... "
Hang around the sickening place till more arrived.. and Col and I went over to collect the cake.. and spotted Charles who later joined us for a simple meal.. well.. not that simple.. cookies and cream cake followed by Chinese dishes...
The row on my left.. Tanner, Mah, Birthday Boy and Charles..
The row on my right.. Backstreet Boy, Victim Ah Du and Pineapple King Colonel Sir...
Mohammad Bin Tiong Ta Kang Chee Hong s/o Soh.
Wah !.. So Many Food !
and while everyone's starting on the dishes... Cake Cutter Mah was still struggling with his share... while Tanner had his mouth full ...
So.. having our tummies more than 3/4 full ... Backstreet boy SP Lim again.. suggested coming over to my workplace to chill out... and.. along with our heavy tummies.. we trudged over to the 7-11 where they picked up some booze... while my 6/4 full tummy refused to set my mind thinking on what to buy...
So.. we gathered in the conference room and on the TV..
and.. we caught some animal show on Animal Planet on SCV and the picture below.. shows the time 01.40am .. 8 person.. with booze and fag.. watching on SCV.. the top 10 smartest animal... ( which the smartest happens to be parrot ) ... ... on a 1.40am Saturday morning... pretty impressive huh ?
And while discussing about the coming beach trip and chalet on the last 2 Saturdays of January.. Colonel told me that.. we're be quite tight till then... which kind of sounded my ' wake up ' alarm once again... sigh ... so.. I'm only left with 8th - afternoon, and 29th, 5th Feb...
Saturday - I slept from Saturday 4am..to 11 am... it's a very very deep and relaxing sleep... Check my mail a bit.. Blast my mp3 and left home again... met up with Kitty for my shopping... which in the end.. I came home empty handed...
I can forget about the Milano Fashion CD.. cause it's not on sale.. The beautiful Muji Pencil case is sold out... So. In the end... ended up aimlessly shopping and eating... and I almost went to pierce my ears... until I'm being told that I have to leave that ugly stud on my ears for around 2 days... till then... I might already got slaughtered by my parents...
.. my pretty tasteless Chicken Baked Rice @ V8 restaurant Bugis Junction.

Work this week was pretty ok.. was fine till the last 45 minutes of my work week ... Maybe it's just that the expectation I've set or myself is a little high but there's no excuses in my point of view.. of making such careless unforgivable mistakes... My O' My... I am too careless... how to study in a School Of Architecture?! ... I can now go eat shit...
Yester .. while Karen, ZiChang ( who has probably reached London some 12 hours ago... ) .. Nicole.. ( who gave me a sketch book from Sydney - more on the book later ) ... and Li Zhi.. who had just came back from Brisbane...
Yes.. While I'm having Dinner @ Far East Plaza's Sakura Thai Food... hmmmmm .... Sakura... Thai.... anyway... While.. I'm having Dinner.. My Boss Aamer and Weng went over to some place in River Valley for SCDA's book launch... if it's some normal book... I won't get so * hooo haaa... *... but the thing is that...
Chan Soo Kian's SCDA Architects.. had got a book... in the Series VI of .... ' The Master Architect Series ' ! Sort of got a shock... a young firm since 94... and in a Span of 10 years... shot itself into the international world stage... can't believe it... and I thought the WoHa's better than SCDA... although I must admit.. SCDA's good...
SCDA's House @ Coronation.
WoHa's House...
And shamelessly... I confess... I must get myself the new SCDA book.. after browsing the office's copy ... fresh from the oven... after looking @ the SCDA's book.... couldn't help it but wonder... Would I be able to reach say... 50% of his success? .... I doubt so... cause... .... I'M TOO CARELESS n' INSENSITIVE ! !! ! ! aaarrrggh..... ! I'm gonna scream now !....
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Yesterday's Dinner was not too bad... more of a catching up session and a cherish this moment kind of thing.. @ least for me... .oh well ... Nicole went to Sydney last May.. and got a book for me... because she always forget to bring my present every time we met... the arrival of the book was delayed... for.. 6 months !... * hahahaa... * ...
hmmm.... Sail away from the safe harbor .... Sail away from the safe harbor .... I kinda loved this simple message... Maybe Nicole that time in May can predict my situation now... * hahaha * ... Thanks for the book ! .. loved it a lot ! ...
.... and when she gave me... she brought my attention to the back pages... which read... " made in Singapore " ... and she was emphasizing that she got it in Paddingtons Sydney... hahhaa...
So... Made In Singapore... exported to Sydney.. Nicole brought it back to Singapore.. and me.. Bringing it back to Sydney... Wowo... this Book's going places !

Saturday then.. Sunday... no doubt.. everyone loves Saturdays.. and my life isn't any bit of a bed of roses nor.. a bed of thorns.. Work was busy.. as usual.. not much time for myself these days.. except the weekends..
Actually.. My life was like Standard Operating Procedure.. wake up at 6.54am.... refused to get up.. then struggle up.. shower.. brush.. and head house around 7.20.. As my brother in law drives.. he'll drop me off @ SIM cause my niece's child care is there.. So.. @ around 7.45am.. I'll take 61 to Holland V. and for the last few days.. I bought a Burger King burger for breakfast that cost me $3.60 ! ... sigh...
Work officially starts @ 9am.. but.. I'll always reach @ 8.15am... sad life... so.. I'll usually check my gmail... and start drawing my shites... but for the last few days.. I went online to research on laptops... and start to draw.. and my work load had increased... Frankel Ave... Sentosa Cove... and now... Jalan Naga Sari.. * sigh *... and December would be worse... that will be when Frankel Ave and Naga Sari would be starting constructing ...
So.. after work.. I'll dash home.. fastest speed to the bus stop... fastest speed up the MRT platform.. Fastest walking speed throughout.. cause my time spend @ home... is kind of precious... and of course..
it'll be time to unwind... I have to choose between Playing either FIFA 2005, Colin Mcrae Rally 05, Pro Evolution Soccer 4, Fatal Frame 2.. or LOTR - the 3rd age on Xbox... OR .. I can choose one of my 10 unwatched DVD movie lying on my shelf for the longest time... OR .. I can play the football manager on PC... OR ... I can continue to scan my Architectural Books into CD ( which I've been doing for 3 whole days out of my 5 days of the public holiday last week )... OR... I could research on my coming Uni stint... choose one activity.. to entertain myself for the next 3.5 hours.. before I hit the bed again.. and .... tomorrow comes too fast... and that's terrible !
So.. that pretty much explains the inactivity on this page.. Too much things I wanna do.. too little time...
Last week.. couldn't remember which day.. Met colonel Quek for dinner in Jurong point.. he need to get his specs from Nanyang Optical.. and I haven't been to Jurong Point in like... 2-3 months.. and new stores popped out... in a span of 2 months... and NTUC was renovated !.. * hahhaha * ... anyway.. a little amazed that CaiYing still recognizes me... hahhaa.. managed to catch up with her a bit before we hunt for dinner...
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
and so.. along comes Friday night... total Bliss ! and I played the Football Manager shite on PC till I log in to MSN around 1-2am.. and LI Zhi Buzzed me... " Hey.. I'm waiting for you ! ... " ... and I'm like... " ah ? ... ... "... and I came to know that he's arrived in Singapore the day before... and he's lost his Handphone... and arranged to meet yesterday for dinner...
It's always nice to catch up with an old friend.. catching up conversations would always break into an deadly avalanche of memories of the past and consumes me into nothing...
Went over to Kinokuniya for my Colour Book ... ( A book which show the harmony of various colours.. ) and couldn't find it.. ended up reading the architectural books there.. walked around and took a train to City Hall.. walked over to Basheer Bookstore.. a very well know bookstore for graphic design and Arch Lovers... and picked up a copy if July's i-D fashion magazine for only...... $5 dollars.. and a normal up to date issue would cost me around $17 bucks !...
I treated that chap Ma Mansion's Curry Rice.. as we had no idea what to eat... Ma Mansion with her was .... always a bad experience... the atmosphere was colder without her smiles... sad sad... missed her presence quite a bit .... but .. * oh well * ...
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
.. it's so scary that tragedy could strike any one at any time... often caught expected... Yesterday morning was just fine.. Woke up real late around 11... ate my 2 Roti Prata I've bought the evening before... and MSN-ing with friends... and then... I heard Glass smashing and shouts... and smelled a funny odour couldn't be drunkard misbehaving on an 11 plus Saturday.. so I took a peep..
it turns out to be this...
and a closer look into the flaming apartment... and you could even see the flames...
Look @ the crowd !...
Brave fire fighters in the apartment...
I am quite worried about the occupants inside.. and pity the folks living on top of the burning unit... Who couldn't close their windows in time while fleeing .... Luckily.. no one died.. but one poor girl was admitted to hospital after inhaling too much smoke...
Our apartment blocks was equipped with a Dry Riser system... which means.. there's a dry pipe which runs throughout all floors of the block. when there's a fire.. the fire man simply connect the water main from his fire engine to the starting point of the pipe ( called the breeching inlet ).. while the fire fighter could just connect his hose at the pipe at the floor on fire to fight the flame...
But as you might observe.. They had a hose from the 11th storey .. all the way down to the fire engine on the ground level.. so.. WHERE'S THE DRY RISER SYSTEM? ... and my guess would be that the door of the breeching inlet screwed up ... couldn't be opened and so the fire fighter used the ancient method.. which of course.. a slower one... all because the door of the breeching inlet screwed... * sigh * ...
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Life's so bored and monotonous at this very moment... cause I know Monday would hit me real hard in a matter of hours... In fact.. I slept at 4am yesterday... and woke up my my niece's terrible shouts at 9am.. and haven't been sleepy since... just when I thought that sleeping late could make me more tired and fall in to deeper sleep... but then..... Oh well ....
That day.. I was chit chatting with Karen... as we discussed how humans live to contradict themselves... it's like... You wanna enjoy the night more.. but you wanna sleep early so that you won't be tired at work in the morning... this kind of shite... sigh... and one of the living shite is typing al these shites right now... so.. Oh Shit ~ ... !
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
So... did I mentioned that I've scanned my Architectural Magazines for 3 days straight... I've completed 95 percent of my magazines and I haven't started on my books yet... just a tedious and tiring process... and I gave up.. and for that 3 days... I'm completely in a Architecture ( All of my Singapore Architect, Australian Architecture and Architectural Records..) and Fashion ( All of my i-D magazines.. and my one and only issue of Black and White Magazine.. ) world.. and admiring artistically and political photographs...
It was quite enjoyable to a certain extend... away from work and reality... away from drafting endlessly... just... taking time off to enjoy the beauty of Fashion and Architecture... I tell you...
" This IS bliss " - A Scene taken from ' Last Life In The Universe ' VCD ...
Doing the things I love without the 3.5 hours to go before hitting bed that kind of constrain... Sigh... I need to have 30 hours a day... while the working hours MUST remain the same... then... I can do .. X box.. Sleeping.. and relaxing MORE ! but still... 24 hours is all I had..
anyway.. while scanning all my stuffs endlessly and I thought I might share some great pictures with you...
I got this from a book.. it's the Final Year Project year book by the graduating students of the TP fashion design students of year 1999.. I was sort of being invited to the runaway show @ Tangs Scotts cause Aries's Cousin was a graduating student there...
I just loved the simplicity of the blouse... 2 Oversized strokes of brush conveyed so much of feeling into a piece of white cloth... I particular admire the beginning and the ending stoke of the stripes... which shows the strength of the stroke and the fade off towards the end... and the position of the cross... .. wasn't it lovely?...
This Fred Perry model looks like our own Sharon Au.. Loved her eyes there... anyway... I've checked out the Lacoste Polo Tees recently.. ... ( the stupid brand with a little crocodile ).. I mean... it looked so great on the advertisement... but.. when I thought that ... they looked so ' ah peh ' and old fashioned... besides... it's be a fashion disaster if I were to wear that on my skinny frame... so.. it's terribly a NO NO .....
Recognize her ?... That's Chiaki Kuriyama for you... still doesn't ring a bell... She's the psycho schoolgirl - Go Go Yubari ...which Tarantino cast her in Kill Bill 1... I loved her.. she's had that so full of attitude look... tough chick !
This is.. a very very interesting picture which ... the man on the left.. holding on to a tiny China flag.. VS. a group of hip teenagers ... with their massive Mcdonald's and Coca Cola flag... it says all about China current state... foreign invasion... are people in china ditching their culture and tradition? Traditional Chinese Tea for Coca Cola ? you might noticed 2 smaller sized Chinese man.. seems to be begging to the crowd opposite them ...
I found this 2 illustrations on the back of i-D magazine... it instantly reminds me of SP LIM and his Wayne A-Z Norris .... GAY LOU ! ! ! ! ! ... ... .
The Ice Cream Girl ! I loved this shot very much... and if you might notice... the side which had her tongue on was actually molded flat.. ( compare with the other side ) and was as if the lady really managed to lick of the ice cream off the cone...
I just loved the colours we saw on this picture... The thin green leaves ... the purple blue attire... the silky brown hair... and the deliberate strip of reflected light off set from the middle...
Well... I guess that'll be all I'll be sharing today .... thanks for reading anyway ...
Happy Birthday Ying Yuan !

As Boss's not around and Weng's also out most of the time.. Karen and I chatted for almost the whole of this afternoon... So.. her sixth sense was right after all.. I'm leaving the studio after a short period.. Karen called up the replacement for me.. his name is Alvin I think, whose CV had been lying on my desk for around 3-4 days.. ( of course.. not for my assessment that is ) ... whose interview is being postpone from today to next week... and my last day would be 28th January.
We then chatted about how badly the building construction scene these days... It's getting nowhere better.. which made me shiver with fear ... What If I couldn't find myself a job when I come back?... that'll be terrible... If I were to stay in Australia after I graduate would be a bad option to my parents who'll long for my return... I think I'll source for a backup route once I'm there... there must be a way out ....
They say that the deceased would return to their home on the 7th day.. after they leave this world... Karen being a very non believer... seems to be getting a little more believing into the supernatural stuffs... cause some first hand encounters and experiences of her cousins had changed her life a bit...
and today.. her real life personal account of such 7th day incident changed mine... such spooky tales... sometimes... ignorant could be such bliss... but on the other hand ... * Oh Well ... * ... The world we live in was so huge.. there'll bound to be so many things that logic could give a decent explanation... Some would be blessed... some would be cursed...
Duh ... I need more sleep...

Listening To : Placebo - Slave To The Wage Time Of Hallucination : 22.30
Finally... today's the beginning edge of the weekends ... a long awaited one... and before I know it.. Monday would come too soon... always..
Generally... If you might ask.. My week @ work was smooth... which is not a bad thing... To some extend.. I'm starting to enjoy what I'm doing.. Monday was ( working ) on the Sentosa Cove detached... which I read in today's papers.. Out of 11 plots sold.. 4 of them were bought by Singaporeans... and I'm drawing on one of them... The owner was some high post Manager? of UOB bank... very rich.. saw a glimpse of him in the office today...
And Wednesday was on Frankel Ave. and they refuse to tear the whole house down and opt for an A&A ( Addition & Alteration ) instead... which saves a bit of cash for them but gives me more trouble... Some people are just hard to satisfy... so fussy...
Today... the clock was on steroids... which is good.. Late morning.. Along with Weng and Aamer.. we went to measure one of the bungalow near 6th Ave. It's an A&A again ! The lady owner was pretty easy.. no funny funny demands or whatever... ya.. a nice lady ...After measuring, we went over to Lotus Ave.. Mr. Khoo.. the contractor had a job next to Aamer's former project.. which was like 2 years back...
and we toured the new house which is going for TOP in 2 weeks... and was in finishing stages... The design was pretty good.. as we went to the bathrooms... there're planter strips along the wall behind the Tiber screen wall.. and Aamer and the lady laugh " ... later the plants would all die..... " .. they're right.. the amount of sunlight the plants could receive was limited...
Learnt many things while listening to their conversations... as we finished the un-finished house.. we stepped outside over to look @ Aamer's former project... and he said.. " Oh~ ... look at the tree we planted 2 years ago... " He must be feeling a good sense of satisfaction...
Later.. Aamer and I went to the Ghim Moh place for lunch.. actually.. It's kind of awkward with him.. he's like.. old enough to be my dad.. err... almost ... and I just felt weird in engaging casual talk... and I thought it's the perfect moment... to let him know my imminent resignation ... and apologized to him... and we chatted about his days in London.. and he held 3 jobs to make ends meet...
and I'm like... " ??? ! ! ! ".... and then " ... ... " 3 jobs... and some advices for me .. on my coming new chapter... and some pointers about my lousy work... living as another identity in a new world... some music band and music.. his AA critic session over in London... words of wisdom..
Pao Li called me today... and asked if I'm still slaving @ ADPLC... then for a while... I asked myself.. what ADPLC?... then.. oh.. PLAD ah... then I told her... I ORD loh !.. now working @ Holland V... asked me if I wanna go Wakeboarding... hmmm... feeling lazy tomorrow and wanted to keep a late night and wake up late... so.. I'll choose wake up late over wakeboarding... besides... Not much money loh...

Fucking Unlikely..
I am afraid... Very much afraid of Living Alone in Australia... Sometimes.. It just freaks me out every once in a while.. I won't even conceal my fear from anyone... Life would be so much different there.. I had to scout for my own housing.. pay for my own Handphone bills.. Internet bills.. cook my own meals... Do my own laundry.. and housework... just everything ... unlike my current spoiled brat life... It's for survival in Australia... what if I can't find myself a part time job ? ...
And right now... I have quite a few things to keep track of.. The Exchange Rate... Confirmation with the Uni Side.. Paying the deposit fees.. Arranging for accommodation... arranging for airport reception... applying the student visa.. going for a required health checkup.. booking the air tickets... Need to get some essential stuffs... asking how to pay for the next few installments of the school fees... how my family members can transfer some money to me when I'm in dire straits... get the plug adapter from Huiping and hear her stories and advices...
First day @ work.. after a 3 week's break.. a very happy 3 weeks that is.. felt so relaxed ' Zhou Bo-ing ' @ home.. going out.. watching TV... and the good thing is that... today's work was rather peaceful... the hours passed so slowly.. * sigh * ... and Karen asked me today... " When do you wanna let Aamer know I'm leaving..... "... I don't know when would be a right time....
and there's always be a right time someday..

Listening To : Placebo - This Picture Time Of Hallucination : 20.37
Ok... First New Chapter ( and a pretty long one ) of my life in this webpage... good.. as the rest of my older pages are being achieved... anyway... the song.. " Welcome To my Life.. " by the band Simple Plan.. sounds so.. " Commercialized... " ... there're so many TV ads advertising their song.. and I just felt that they're tailor made for the mass... So fabricated .. handpicked good lookin' boys rocking hard with their guitars in the middle of the traffic jam... Forget about it...
Even Gay Band Placebo definitely has more credibility over those fabricated bands @ least Placebo is being true to themselves and to the world... writing good lyrics.. playing for the fans... not concentrating on which cool MTV they should be making or which moves they should make to make the most money... something which bands like Simple Plan or Maroon 5 or what-so-ever shit bands might be thinking right now ...
Oh Well.. another day has gone... ( again ) .. and @ the end of the day... I didn't even realized a day had passes and what happened in the afternoon.. seemed to be so much distant... maybe better times meant to pass you by in a flash... it leaves no one behind...
29th.. which was yesterday... Woke up around 9 plus.. SMS-ed Ammer and Karen to meet me @12.30 for lunch.. and went online to see if I've had any luck in finding Placebo's MP3... and early afternoon.. I went to Holland Village.. Initially was just a ' Thank you for hiring me and I have to leave in 3 months ' lunch treat but Aamer got Weng along... Not that I mind paying for another one.. but.. It's hard to open my mouth with someone around.. especially I'll be asking something from him.... * Oh Well * ... another day ... perhaps. ...
Around one plus... I walked to the bus stop before Holland V to catch the 106 with Colonel Sir on it... and went head to the IDP place... halfway down the lengthy journey on foot.. it started to pour.. and we flagged down a cab to IDP.. a grand total of $2.40... Went up to the 4th floor... and to the reception.. and the man asked for our surname and asked us to find our counselors.. and Quek solved the mystery of me always being referred back to Wendy Tan...
After finishing our questions... we head down to the lobby to find out it's still raining... so we hang around the lobby space... and gave up.. took a cab to Far East PLAZA... to meet SP Lim... He had to go interview @ the Far East Organization.. and the 3 of us had so much difficulty finding the correct lift to the 6th floor... and I called Antonio for help...
And it turns out to be that.. he's also going to the office... and we waited for him to arrive... went up.. and SP went for his interview and Quek n I slacked outside the sofa outside... before my seat is warm.. I had to lift my butt off it...
next .. we went perfume testing and Lunch... I ate some Sweet and Sour Chicken thingy with rice.. @ a foodcourt in basement. and went over to MacDonald's for the 25 Cents Ice Cream cone over @ Lido... and then from Lido..
We head off to Kinokuniya and then off the library @ Ngee Ann .. and found ourselves a cosy corner where we read some crappy stuffs... For the next 2 hours.. our ass were bolted to the comfortable seats... SP hunting down for joke books.. while I scanned through various Arch publications and took photographs of some better works...
The philosophy behind Frank O. Gehry 's DG Bank...
Here... SP and Col Sir started ' arguing ' and asked me something about a webcam ....
Colonel Quek - " &^&**^%$## .... "
Sp LIm - " &^&**^%$## .... *&^%$ ... "
Finally @ around 8.45 plus.. we left the library... stopped over @ a lego shop and Best Denki, got my Magazine @ Kino.. and board a train to Plaza Singapura to hook up with Nick and Ka Wai.. as the young waitress advised us that we couldn't do any advance booking for the very same day... but... luckily there's vacancy for a good 8 of us.. so .. we took a seat ...
While Nick and I went to withdrawn some cash... Mohammad Soh Bin Tiong stole me seat ! ... and I had to settle for one with a higher table.. and Tanner came.. Cosplaying as a Red Indian and Mah did his ritual of ' suan-ing ' people with bold actions.. * Lol ! *... but the first thing that came to my mind wasn't any American Red Indian... it's Boy George ! ..... heex...
My Sirlion Steak ... The noodles beside was awful !
Everyone started eating...
Caught In The Act ....
with our stomach full and no place to go.. we slacked around till Small Fat came up with an idea of See Sha .... something which we haven't really done for ages... sort of like a forgotten activity ... and we took Bus.no. 7 there...
Along the way... In the middle of an empty street ...
and we made fun of SP's button incident... as all of us went laughing to death ... and we saw a group of students filming for their short project.. as I observed along... I still couldn't understand what they are trying to film... too arty farty for me to understand...
Our very own director advised Quek to be natural in his acting... as the main actor of the play was behind him... " Once more... with Feelings.... " ...
and.. that's my account of another day that'd passed... and Monday... My life would be back to square one... Wake up.. Work.. Relax.. Sleep...

@ The stroke of midnight.... We Celebrate For Regaining...
What many took it for granted.... - Freedom !... Yes... @ long last... I'm being freed.. No more No.4 Shirts.. No more arrows .. No more flipping through my endless stack of files spotting missing signatures... No more SMIS... No more Sai Kang... No more Fucking SFI food... No more Guard Duties.. ( errr.. I already no more liaoz.. ) ... No more No more... no more mini chit chat sessions around my office table... No more slacking sessions with camp mates... Oh well... it's always good to regain freedom anyway ...
Desmond called and we chatted about our army days... and he's always saying.. " How time flies..... look !... We're ord-ing tomorrow... ".. and I'll always say... " cause we're looking back @ the days... try looking forward.. ~ . ?.. ... .. " .. Indeed... days of Te Kan-ing by Lau Jiaos are gone..
and we're finally finishing our long and meaningless and stupid journey ... the holy process which miraculously transforms young man into adults... but somehow... I felt no effect... I'm still pretty much the same before I was put in Army... maybe except the way I look and judge or treat people around me... .. made friends with cool people.. and seen people who are totally Fake...
... Woke up slightly earlier to accompany Thomas Png Siong Mao to get the medic to sign... * troublesome.. * ... and took a cab to fetch SP and Desmond Tua Kui Tao up Rifle Range Camp.. our last journey up the hill ...
as Panda went to get his signature signed, Des and I fagged on the second floor waiting for the others to arrive ... First.. we got the Recall IC to sign.. and saw Wesley ... and WO Tan Soon Mong.. my ex. boss... and we went to get the Docu. Ic to sign... our final huddle... after all the Base, Depot clearance... FFIs...
and gathered outside for our prize.. a stupid piece of pink card ... which symbolizes so much things.... to be serious... I was feeling absolutely delighted to see this pink card gain.. but.. not really over the moon... cause.. it's just another beginning.. so... " so what " ....
Now.. with a sticker across the card.. I'm now ... officially a NS man... * welcome to the land of reservist ... and struggle for IPPTs... *

Suddenly Brian Molko's words shot into my mind.. I've heard him said this in the documentary in their DVD.. " If We're not in a rock band ( Placebo ) We'll be very fustrated doing Karaoke in drag somewhere... ".. and I'm like... " .... ... ahhahahaa... ... fucking true.. " ...
" If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things. " Henry Miller
Billy Corgan once said..
" We live in a
plastic world
Interviewer:
"You've lost all your hair, are you undergoing chemo therapy?"
.... and here's another one from him ...
" For a 6-foot-3 guy with no hair and a whiny voice, I've done all right " ... I have to agree on that !...
He's the one who gave us ' Perfect ' -
" perfect
strangers down the line
and your's truly... ( I copied from Tanner Web )... " We never fail to be transformed into instant clowns." - on how we get hurt by the people whom we care for and treasure.
A picture by Vincent... shouting the message across... " Rules are made to be broken.... "
So ... today's the 25th of October... and October is ending .. which only means two things.. ditch the past and look ahead to what's in store for me... be it good.. be it bad...
Tomorrow would be a brand new chapter of my life.. ( again )... anyway... today the 4 of us.. went back to camp.. had minor problem waking up .. thanks to the flu tablet I took the night before.. took the bus.. my final trip back camp... and last breakfast by Ah Lau... last VCD sessions in the mess...
and around one pm.. after lunch.. WO Peter ask me what's our status for the day... I said nothing.. no off no leave... and he told me.. that we're now allowed to go home.. and advised me to have my hair cut... ( Again ! ) .... oh well ...

Yap.. my very own share .. tasted quite good actually.. :p
241004 - I'm just feeling insecure... well.. as always... and Today just seems to be feeling a little.. somehow.. feeling more lost ... just now.. Vincent's words suddenly come to my mind... a few days before he went for New Mexico.. he told me " I'm feeling lost... the feeling is just the same before I went to BMT... the same uncertainties... and change of lifestyle.. "
And my life.. are also morphing into something terribly new... I'm leaving the protected shores of the Army... into working full time with Aamer.. and then... into a Full time student that would become a beggar if he has no Part Time Job... and when I return back to Singapore... I'll have Loans to pay back ... Back to the working world.. and hopping for a good job... nothing surprising.. it's all been mapped out...
Life's full of endings and beginnings and the ending to that new beginning... and so on... The simple cycle of these never fails to freak me out...

I hated it !.. Music is Evil... It drains people's money... and just when your cash is running low or wanted to save it for other more important purposes... these Bands would be releasing new stuffs...
I hate FAKE?... why must they release another live DVD in Dec when their last live DVD release was just a few months back.. and a Brand new Maxi CD... ok.. I can swallow the DVD and the Maxi... I'll kill myself if they release another studio album ... * sigh *...
I hate Placebo.. They had released a new Single... and they would not be touring until 2006 !.. which means 2005 = no tour.. I've checked their achieves of tour schedules... and they're playing Sydney every year... so.. 2006?.. hope to see them live... and and and...
they'll also be releasing their greatest hits CD which I'm glad I do not have to buy that because I've owned every of their album... and a upcoming MTV collection which I'm also relieved that I can also skip that... Thanks to Kazza ....
I hate Goo Goo Dolls... They've got a new single and a new DVD release... I'm getting the DVD for sure... Holiday Plaza @ JB !...
Anyway.. woke up early today off to base... first. .I suffered Red Eye.. cause yester night.. I rubbed my eyes too hard... and couldn't recover till morning and I wondered if I should put on my contacts.. Next.. Either my mind was full of thoughts or whatever shit.. I walked to the wrong bus stop ... and I walked back.. and I thought it's going to be a long day of misery ....
and Surprisingly... Base Clearance was very smooth... with no much difficulties... talking to Colonel, SP and koonster was nothing but hilarious .... plainly toilet humor... it's the crappiest talk @ it's best !... what Young PAP V.S Young SDP kinda shit.. and every toilet you have in your house.. you had to pay $19 dollars more... and stupid Curry Crab jokes...
Went over to Maju Camp for our ' shopping ' ... and shocked to find out that I still had $212 to clear... I think I got myself almost 20 pairs of black and white socks.. 3 Tees... 8-9 pairs of shorts.. a pair track shoes.. leather shoes.. brush and kiwi... I think.. that's about it...
Shared cab home... and .. unpacked all the shits.. and went for nap... damn tired...

191004 00.30am - It's so late @ night.. and I don't feel the least sleepy... Just want to prolong my ' holidays ' a bit.. still have less then 2 full weeks to go.. before I step back to the working world again ... The weather is cool outside... I think I might just rain anytime... Lightning flashes... wondered if thunder would be next ...
Played with my niece just now.. wasn't really playing but.. just teasing her... and she refused to sleep... and it's already pass midnight now ... she's really mischievous... echoing every single word I spoke... and the only way to make her willingly walk out of my room is to threaten her with tickles .. * haahahha * ...
Not trying to count the chicken before they hatch... Nowadays... I had a different perspective of the people and my surroundings... Cause most likely.. I'll jet off coming Feb.. I would try to talk with Mum and Dad more... play with my niece more... enjoy the company of my friends more... treasure my time being at home more... suddenly reminds me of Royston Thang's " Many many more more ... "
Oh~... it has started to rain ...
and speaking of Mr. Royston Thang.... couldn't help it but to post this again... my master piece... hmmm appropriate time too !... X'Mas is coming soon ....
hmmmmm ~ .... Ah Quek was always wondering which is the pict that we kept laughing at ... We laughed that the way he posed for the picture looked like one of those Malaysia Pineapple King Boss.... and with .. I stressed... WITH permission from the pineapple King himself... I am allowed to photo edit his picture in the name of fun ... very sporty of him ...
191004 2240 - My mentally towards studying in Australia is just like a pendulum... sometimes can't bear to leave everything behind... and sometimes can't wait to get out of this place to start my new life... but one thing for sure.. I'll be leading a harsher life compared to what I'm leading now... and sad part is..
If I couldn't land myself a part time job... I would end up sleeping on the streets with nothing to eat... ( although my mum do have some funds for me... ) but I do not want to use that fraction as not to jeopardize my second year's tuition fees.... sigh... times are hard.. and would be harder over there.... where every single aussie cents would hold a different meaning for me..
I think I might just end up on the streets begging for loose change.... * sigh * ... It's for survival over there in Australia ... S.U.R.V.I.V.A.L ....

.. Today's topic of the day... is... Architecture as Art, Art as Architecture.... Some of us might not really realize that.. Arts and Architecture has only a fine line separating the both of them... While Art's main purpose are for aesthetic purposes... while Architecture certainly has that functional purpose..
This is an interior done by Mr. Philippe Starck ... nicely done up room with a pinch of humor... Painting might not necessary be fixed on a wall... Instead he did it on a ceiling... and why not? while the user is sleeping... he could admire these pieces too...
and this super famous Lemon Juice-r is also.. by Mr. Philippe Starck ....
And this' my new Starck Mouse !
Many steps closer to home... Aamer Taher... my boss.. * LOL *... Working with him can be a pretty good experience... Before I joined his design studio.. I hear him talking about his projects in the URA seminar ..
and he talked about a project which integrates the 2 storey slide into the house itself.. wouldn't it be so fun to be living in a house like that ? Sliding down into the cool waters on a sunny afternoon in your own privacy so that you won't be mistaken by others for a over grown kid...
A beautiful crafted facade.. with blurred lines of the timber strips complimented by a void ... and of you look carefully... the timber front seems to be floating above the white walls below... due to a void underneath ...
Next... a view of Aamer's painting... lady in nude... surfing his webpage.. I've found an earlier version of this painting below... the earlier version had her eyes closed... while the recent version ... her eyes were opened...
went for shopping therapy yesterday ... and took this picture over at the Church opposite Funan ...

..Going back to camp was terrible... The camp changed a bit... many unknown faces.. a brighter and cleaner guard rest... same DCC though... same praying mantis ... same WO Peter.. and not much surprise... OC's not in camp..
Morning was hectic.. send in my rifle... De-kit my shits by CQ.. Asked WO Peter to sign my Off Pass and Clearance Form... and till 11am... watched VCD in the mess just like the good old days... but this time it's without the familiar faces... Going back to camp for Clearance is definitely the best time experienced in my NS life... which is.. having the license to do nothing... Nothing @ all ...
and the four of us even found time to sit around WO Peter's table to talk cock while he's away... just like the good old days ... good old days ...and slacked around before leaving for PLC medical Center..

Friday - Choong and Me, Myself and I met downstairs... flagged down a cab, picked up SP LIm over @ JP ... and head down to Aranda Country club @ Pasir Ris.. it's just beside the Downtown East place... and bought along six bottled drinks...
We reached there sometime 11pm? and we saw them playing mahjong again... and another group was watching some DVD... so... after a draining day @ work.. I sat on the chair starring at the screen...
To our surprise.. most of the invited ones turned up on the first night... with no food... no drinks.. no nothing... I watched the DVD while watching them playing the 007 game on the timber floor.. but.. did not join them... too lazy to think and damage my brain cells... * LOL * ... I couldn't really remember what happened later on and we went to sleep around 3am ...
and yesterday morning... woke up.. slacked around the chalet.. and 1/2 of them went to the water based theme park - Wild Wild Wet.. while Ying Yang, SP Lim and me went to the Escape Theme Park.. went for a couple of rides and Ying Yang and SP Lim decided that they've had enough.. but I stayed behind for 3 more Viking rides...
back in the chalet.. we started protesting for Ah Du and SBT to give up their PS2 so that we can watch a dvd ... and more of them came and started our BBQ...
@ night.. we played the 007 game.. 2IC went back to take his bottle of Chivas ... as my reaction time wasn't the most sharpest... I had to drink during most of the forfeit.. other than myself.. Choong drank the most .. ! * LOL *.. so.. I wasn't that bad lah ... * LOL * ....
Morning ... went over to the food court to get our breakfast.. and our chalet was... officially over... so.. now it's 15 days to coloured hair... 15 days to my Pink IC... 15 days to a new chapter... 15 days to Freedom ...
the pictures of the chalet is out.. please view them H.E.R.E ...

Work's ok... except some terrible careless mistakes on my drawings... had a 3D to complete by tomorrow... met Evon to dine at a retro Chinese cafe / restaurant... ( damn.. shouldn't had left my camera on her car ! )... and went over to her home over @ Princess Of Wales .... it feels so good to be living in a Semi D, Terraced.. bla bla bla.... so much better than in HDBs.... flipped tons of magazines and took some pictures of them... YEAH !.. got my hands on my Necromance hide earrings ! ... and my guitar magazine that I couldn't understand a single word... Evons nephew's so cute... and at the same time.. very irritating... ! hahaha....
071004... as usual.. work was terrible.. and I really wonder was it my architectural brain is rusty.. or it's Aamer's high expectations... sigh... In the morning was ok... until late afternoon where's it all getting worse.. maybe it's because I've slept late yesterday...? or.. it's the super light lunch I've been given... just a miserable sandwich... and god.. I'm already thin enough....today was worse.... all the time I'm in front of my computer... as I ate my sandwich while working... kind of life...
left work late around 6.40 plus.. and saw Glenn Ong.. my third time bumping into him... he's wearing the Class 95 Tee.. and with his shades on... no doubt it's him... while he walking towards me and I just said.. " Glenn ! "... he stopped and smile.. and I'm already in a 1/2 dead mood... I did not even say... " U'r morning express show was great !... " ... and I said ' bye ... ' ...

Taken on 3rd Oct.. sunset... and can you spot a plane in the first pict?... neither could I... never mind.. I've zoomed it on the second picture below.... Still can't see it ?.... never mind.....
Sometimes... I wish I had a part time job... and I wondered if it might... or might not be a good idea...Getting a second job might be a good catalyst to my goal... but... I'll be drained dry.. no doubt about it... besides... I'm almost dried up every evening I return home from work.... but again... I don't need any special powers of second sights to know that I'll be a soul living in a well preserved corpse if I do held 2 jobs...
Suddenly it came to me that... my mood above hasn't been changed for ages and there's no need to anyway... I'm always feelin' lethargic... so... who knows... it might as well be unchanged forever.... oh well .... .... .
Yesterday called back to Guard Room to ask for the past month's R.O ... Ah Green Goh Jun Ren picked up the phone... and damn... so happy to hear his voice instead of some ass I've not hear of... updated me.. well.. not really many shots happening in camp except for the stupid people being promoted to Guard 2...
I mean... this is insane !... thank goodness I've thrown in the trump card.. let's see... Shiva Shanka = Guard 2 .... 6r2 Shawn Guard 2.... what's worse ? but... it's still non of my business anyway... I've retired....
Work's extremely busy today... have to rush drawings to make the folks @ Frankel happy... and... so.. my lunch time was a little shorter today... which officially clocked 31.59 seconds... 2 pieces of bread with some egg fillings.. and.. back to work...
Super no life...

Sometimes you felt so empty.. and you know someday you'll would be worse.. Sometimes you felt so happy... with the gentle rays of the sun.. coming in through your windows... Sometimes you thought that life can be so bad... until you think of the kids in Cambodia.. Sometimes when you thought you've reached it... until some one tell you about your next destination.. Sometimes you thought that you'll be ready to leave anytime... until the time came a little too soon ... Sometimes you thought that you've stayed clear of the past... until it comes to destroy you again little by little... You thought you were fine asleep... until your dreams in the vault visits you.. Sometimes you got worried about everything in your life... but.. someday It might just turn out to be fine.. You knew you were once young yesterday... but not today and tomorrow again ... You thought you life was endless.. until you realized that you haven't had enough fun... and when you thought you knew this person.. until they showed you their true colours... When you thought our steps were synchronized... I'm left behind 2 steps behind... You thought you were weightless.. until you studied about the laws of gravity... I apologize. I apologize for all the things we were... I apologize for all the things we weren't... For you had just seen through my disguise... this is the poem.. of the anesthetized ...

30th September ... work was bad that day... as I'm getting more mistake prone.. and on the 30th.. I got into trouble.. Aamer did the 2nd storey A&A for Frankel... a pretty extreme layout pushed right to the setbacks.. and I failed to spot out that this scheme won't work due to the restrictions in Site Coverage... thank god that Karen spotted it ... or... I'll really be in DEEP shit...
D*mn the URA... so many governing regulations to take care of... some of them made sense but... some of them..... .... * sigh *... anyway... meet up with my poly friends that day... went over to Nooch @ Wheellock place.. Loved the ' Rock N' Roll ' theme-d photographs on the menu and the interiors..
Karen and I went down directly after work.. which was delayed due to my carelessness... anyway... we're right on time... and Caley reached there around 6.30pm?.. hahaha... ZhiCang was 15 minutes late.. and Nicole was 45 minutes late... * BOooo ! * had a pretty great time catching up with how they've been...
Oh man.. loved the timber boards with up lights...
Caley wrote our orders on her piece of Nooch paper.. maybe that made the waitress's job a little simple ... * LOL * self service...
I had Chicken Ramen...
Me.. Z.C, Caley, Nicole and Jeff...
1st October... Work was extremely busy today... but morning was pretty normal until Aamer's arrow came... * LOL... *... had spaghetti @ the office.. Home cooked that is... heex... tasted not bad... after lunch.. we had a chatting sessions about how building regulations works ... and the flexibility around them... ( Fun With Words.... )
This morning.. I'm embarrassed @ the bus stop over @ Clementi.. As always.. Mornings was always in a semi conscious state... from the Clementi MRT linkway.. I saw the 106 approaching.. @ the red lights.. so.. I sort of made a dash to the bus stop... and while I'm at the end of the Bus Stop.. The ran for the bus which waited for me..
and to my horror... the bus was 184 not 106... ! and I'll certainly be amking a fool out of myself If I were to stand there to wait for the 106 behind... so.. I boarded 184... alight @ the next stop... and wait the the next 106... stupid right...?

Collected my pay.. * Yeah ! *... but.. this month's expensed would be pretty high... looking at the things I wanted to buy...

Listening To : Time Of Hallucination :
Well... Finally my precious weekends are here.. and anticipating my Monday blues again.. well until then ~ ....
Work as pretty much the same.. if you were to ask... did a 3D model on Studio Max for their presentation for a project in Sentosa.. and the rest on the time.. were on a stupid building in Frankel Ave. I hated it... ! spend so long just to do the simple elevations and plans.. and this is the third A&A ( Addition and Alteration ) for this building... My 5 cents worth is just to demolish it all.. and re build a new one.. 3rd A&A ?... * Sigh *...
Throughout all my days @ Aamer Taher Design Studio... I've been seated in front of my screen most of the time... drilling my mind and imagined how the levels should work out... tedious work... Architecture seems to be an old friend.. a very old friend.. Along the way... I just felt like giving up.. I'm pretty sick of drafting ( drawing lines on my computer screens )...
And yesterday... I felt so relive.. to have the weekend approaching me... even though I worked till 6.20 yesterday.. but it just felt so good when you need not wake up at 6.55am and slog for the day ...
Yester-night .. I've watched ' Fahrenheit 9/11 ' ... and half of ' My Life Without Me ' ... which I continued today morning... and finished ' Amelie ', a French Movie .. and I thought... it's such a nice film !... really reminds me of Emily the Strange... the hairstyle... their behavior... their looks... but what really attracted me to her.. are those huge eyes...
While ' Amelie ' overshot my expectations... ' My Life Without Me... ' was... boring... * sigh * .. ' Fahrenheit 9/11 ' was pretty ok.... Next was ' Schindler's List '.. which I'll KIV for my next weekend... Right now... I'm pretty much looking forward to our chalet... and finally.. I can finally shout out the 3 letters that brings joy to the 4 of us... ORD ! and It's also till the chalet.. I can take a 2-3 weeks break off work.. ( sounds like another clearing of leaves... ) oh.. doesn't this actress.. looks like Bjork too ?
Around late noon... I went out to Bukit Batok... had to pass the Windows CD off to SP Lim and meet Mah for dinner... as usual ..talked some crap and did some catching up with them.. and around 7.. I went all the way back to JP to meet my secondary schools friends... some of them.. haven't really seen for ages...
I'm not the last one to arrive.. it's HuiPing.. muahhaha... ! and decide where to dine at.. I was suggesting Billy Bombers.. but.. they wanted the ' Soup Restaurant ' ... EKS ! ... lousy food they serve !... Fish N' Co... I sort of grew tired of it... and we settled down on the ' Crystal Jade Restaurant ' ..
Don't know what HuiPing said... we seems to have a priority entry... despite the crowd... got seated pretty fast... had a good time chatting with them.. .learning that they're all doing fine... Huiping had just returned from Down Under... E-Ting was graduating from Poly soon... ChunTee was finishing her SIM degree... I ling was getting married soon.... and me... also sort of had plans for myself... Got lotta tips and advice from HuiPing... really missed the days in our secondary school...
mid of our conversation.. some really retro names and teachers and all those stupid incidents popped out... such nostalgia... really enjoyed these session...
Hope to see them soon again....

My Saturday was nothing but Great !.. Woke up at 9am.. that's just a little too early.. I though.. read the newspapers and got to know that MediaCorp and SPH are merging... oh well ...
I couldn't recall what I did all morning.. did I spend all morning doing my new layout for this site?.. around noon.. Went downstairs to get some bottled drinks... and snacks.. Caught Kelly Chen's Breaking News on VCD... was in my cupboard for ages and haven't really found time to catch it.. not a lousy show if you asked me... and played some guitar too... Listened to my CDs..
Started reading my new Haruki Murakami's The Wind Up Bird Chronicle... and I fall asleep... I felt especially numb and dizzy this afternoon.... I felt that my body had gave way to this world... I was like in this semi state of clear-ness... felt light... and the drowsiness pressed against my thin sheets of flesh to sleep...
and I woke up... cause I thought I heard the doorbell ... put I opened the door... there's no one... I felt sort of dizzy.. and just went back to the comfort of my bed ... Felt so refreshed and good after spending some time with myself... and after a week of hectic work ... and today.. I've made it a point.. not to seek entertainment on my computer for this afternoon...
Now... it's already a Sunday... and I'm ' extending my weekend ' by staying up late... Something I couldn't afford to do on a typical weekday... gonna do some reading~ ... heex..

Listening To : nothing Time Of Hallucination : Written over a few days...
My first three workings days were... especially hard... I don't know why... maybe it's just me... I seems to had forgotten how to to understand drawings.. the views.. the 3D imaging imagination...I just can't visualize them... and worse still... I just couldn't get things done ....
It's all such simple task that.. I feel that I could just get it done within a day... and now... I've took like... 3 days ? After a forced 2 year's break.. I've return to Architecture a wounded man.. and I'm so frustrated at myself... I looked more like a retarded shit than someone who'd been trained to perform such tasks... It's really taking a toll on me... having to learn how to walk... all over again... Can't believe it... and not being a fast learner myself... I sometimes don't see myself lasting there without getting the boot in the next 3 months...
Maybe I'm weak or what... I just felt drained ...is it natural to feel that way ?... Beats me... I just felt drained.. mentally... and lately I've been stuck inside the midnight Insomnia cafe for the past week or so... and .. the morning comes the aftermath... all tired out... just when I'll start walking ?
on 14th Sept.. the 4 of us went to have a farewell dinner for Vincent... had some tea based theme food.. hmm..well not really.. it's just that the restaurant's Tea based.. it's in Holland V... and that day.. I stayed in my office watching discovery channel till 7 plus 8 before meeting them up...
The Cozy interiors... made me sleepy after a day's work...
The sadistic weapon in Kill Bill ? the Jap girl ( what go-go's tool )?
I had some honey custard chicken drumstick meat..
Vincent, Me, Weixiong and Yeow Heng..
Looking his usual self..
So.. on 16th Sept... Kitty, Yeowheng and myself went to Changi Airport to send him off... 2 years he'll be gone... and I might leave Singapore... to.. I'll be gone.. and he'll be back.. a few month s after I leave... hahaha... so.. one down..
Every time I went to the airport... I loved to look at the departure board... So many interesting destinations I'll love to go... esp. Narita... ! and I spotted a place...
Called... MALE ! ... SQ0452 .. where's MALE ?... close to Female ? * ahahahha *
Some ' high life ' cafe... in Raffles place... some expat having his own high tea himself... nice view I thought...

Saw Michael's CV on the shelf... and Karen sort of told me of my boss's sky high expectations.... I think...

You were just next to me, still. I could almost inhale your breath you took... and today.. you stood near but far. The end was imminent.. and everything surrounding us suddenly halt to a standstill.. Soon.. I heard the familiar but faint music playing in my heart.. That very same tune we promised that would remind us of each other... but.. today..
...this tune in my heart sounds plays through a broken record. Something you've said is just too much for me to fathom. I saw crystals in your eyes .. falling into droplets of forbidden tears... Long forgotten were the vows we kept to our hearts.. Never, ever to leave each other's blood.. but it seems... that Fate had other plans for us.. for that... I could never comprehend... forever...
The wind tonight was unmistakably cold.. but not quite to numb the pain that's destroying me bit by bit... piece by piece...little by little.. Time had since forced me to pick up shattered fragments of those broken promises.. and each coming steps I'll take.. would be hard...
I shivered all alone in the company of my friends... all alone in the coldness of the night.. once again.. my soul being freshly bruised... and tormented.. I'm torn.. I'm beaten.. and I've lost this game... Why had time always stood still in it's tracks.. still with your lingering smell on my clothes.. the ghost of the fallen you... keeps haunting me in that corner of my room... I still felt as if your arms were around me.. whispering ...
whispering all the things you'll want me to know.. I felt an abnormal lightness in my body... and I turn around not to see you... and those words you said to me the last night.. I never wanted them to reach my ear... ... " I'm Leaving.... "
Whatever to be from today onwards.. I could only leave it to fate.. For I may see you again.. For I may not... but one thing for sure... The memories of the road trips we've made.. certainly won't be erased for it may be the most wonderful lesson I need to be taught... Or maybe.. it's just the forbidden love doomed straight from the start ... ?
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
an simple ode to the fallen and maybe to myself.. to the ghost of my memories that I'll keep intact in my deepest vault... and to so many souls ... trapped in the emotional entanglement web of love...
For love shall always remain as a mystery... while the the fools carries the torch for the blessed... How many of us.. can stay faithful?.. how many of us.. could survive the test of time, staying true to the blood oath? just how many ? Why Bother ? ..

shopped around and ended up getting a cheap Tee and 2 pair of socks.. and got myself a Japanese Novel by this.. eerr.... Haruki Murakami.. ' Norwegian Wood ' ... of cause... It's already being translated to English....
Now I'm using the ' Legendary 8310 ' all because my 6100 went screen-less on me... and ORDed before I do.. cause my 8310 was loaned to my bro-in-law's mum... I haven't really seen my phone for ages... and when I explored the messages in the Template Folder... I saw a few of my older messages and felt nostalgia... as usual...
and the funny thing is... those template messages I created last time like... " Chou Simi Lan Jiao? "... and " eh.. Kan ni nah lah ..."... and one of those satanic statements... they're still inside the phone ! ... I thought I've deleted them...!
hhmmmm~... what would the user could have thought about me when they saw a message like... " Chou Simi Lan Jiao? " ... Haiz....
and my sleeping time had already been fixed to sleeping / feeling tired / the form to fall asleep @ a good 3am... now's like... 3.16am.. and pretty much wide awake.. tried to get to sleep around 1 plus.. but... ended up switching on the comp doing all this nonsense.. wtf i am man...

Listening To : Longview - Falling For You Time Of Hallucination : 20.22
So... now I'm clearing my Annual Leaves... and my army days are going to be over soon... It's really quite boring to stay at home most of the time... Some ( Friends ) are working... studying... still in NS..
It rained just now...
Technically speaking.. today's the first day of my leave.. but I've been having MA / Leave / Off since last week... Ever since the first day of semi freedom... There's only 2 things on my mind... one - possibility of working with Mr. Aamer Taher... two - Studying in Newcastle... ok.. Maybe one more thing... how do I spend the rest of my boring day rotting at home... oh.. maybe another thing... finances for my new mobile...
Sigh... wish my 6100 wasn't spoiled... now.. I'll have to fork out unnecessary money for another phone... * sigh * .. anyway.. clearing leave certainly gave me more time @ home doing absolutely nothing.. a bittersweet affair... maybe more of a sweeter side... compared to being a slave in camp...
So.. Finally I'm leaving the Army.. Opss.. had I said that too many times?.. Clearing leave doing nothing @ home gave me a chance to reflect things that have been happening to me for the last 2 years and 3 months...
Entering army wasn't the most enjoyable thing I had to do.. saying goodbye to my coloured long hair wasn't easy. Days before enlisting was hard.. I remembered the cold auditorium room in Tekong.. I remembered how I struggled with the " duffer " ?.. don't know the spelling... anyway.. the stupid duffer bag up 4 storeys to my bunk only to be greeted by 11 other stranger..
They sat around the table.. introducing themselves... I said nothing.. just sat there and listened... and I saw a very very very... ok.. one more.. VERY huge sized bunkmate.. Ah Tok.. then I noticed Desmond.. Very Ah Bengish... and ShaoPin.. very social -able.. talking up and down... * haha *... I'm sure all of us @ scorpion Coy was kind of lost... not knowing what would become of us...
My haircut only came the second day inside the training shed... It's raining heavily at that time... I remember I got to book out in the mids of my second week cause I had MA at NUH... lucky me.. I even got the time to rest at home.. smelled the air of Jurong West...and when I went back to Tekong.. they even asked me how are things outside.. " Are the trees still green ? "...
At that time.. It was around the World cup 2002 period... there's one session where we had to introducing ourselves to our S coy boss.. and Robin Tan ended his speech with " Go Germany Go ! " as Germany was in the finals with Brazil... of cause.. his remarks generated laughter.. and from that day onwards.. Mr. Robin Tan Heng Huat was known as Germany Tan....
Germany And Sp Lim
and yes.. we caught the finals in the auditorium.. while I stole some rest / sleep... semi tough training came along and we got to know one another better.. every evening, Zach and I would make phone calls on the ground floor.. and sometimes.. sneak to other Coy's phone.. and sometimes in Slippers ! .. * hahah *..

Desmond Yeo Tiang Kng would always sing... " San Nah... San Bei.. " trying to irritate Hassan. and 310? was always branded as the black sheep of our section... I remember I did more leopard crawling across the dirty soil all thanks to him.. Ah Kang would always share his biscuits and Milo with us.. Every morning.. I would be one of the first few to wake up...
Some where 0540? ... and I would wake Sp Lim and Desmond up.. but.. every time.. I'll arrow Germany to do so cause they'll refuse to wake up.. a semi conscious SP LIm.. upon seeing Desmond still in Bed.. would continue to steal moments of sleep.. casue.. Desmond isn't awake... and Desmond seeing SP Lim.. still in bed.... * ahahhaha * ...
We'll spend time arrange our cupboard in a * Madness * fashion... even till the way we display our stuffs... to the standard of what we see in the display area of Zara.. madness... we'll spend time cleaning our fucking M-16... remembered I'll drag my dummy rifle up the stairs holding the muzzle... well.. I couldn't care less..
SP Seated.. trying to act as the section commander with his cap and SBO... This is our section.. Section 1 Platoon 3...
We've also found great pals next door.. When the Sergeants shouted " Scorpion Company! ! "... from the ground floor to us.. We slaves had to respond my shouting " Scorpion Company! ! " to acknowledge with our faces sticking out of the parapet wall.. Jee Pun Kia would always shout ' Scrotum Company ! ! '.. with respects to our male genitals... and soon.. we inherited his disease ..
All of us.. doing the tried and tested pose.. with Desmond.. doing the special pose...
Our best time of the day.. would sure be evening.. after Dinner and after sending our rifles... we'll sit down around the table and chat... and bitch about our commanders... have some biscuits or cup noodles... I remembered I'm aching all over... from the exercises... damn tiring.. and I'll always apply this " yoko yoko " thing.. hoping that my ache would go away ...
SP Lim and I were lucky to be excused for our 3D2N field camp.. we reported sick on the first day.. Both of us had the same illness.. Skin irritation and Flu... Cause this medical officer sort of knew we're from the same Platoon and section... He gave me medicine for FLU only.. and gave SP Lim medicine for the Skin Irritation.... and the excuse from the field camp..
and that fateful Saturday.. SP Lim, myself and some chaps from other section had to stay back on Saturday for making up session for the field camp.. thank god he made it real short and sweet.. after some 2 hours.. he marched us off to the Jetty...
This was taken after POC.. our last day in Tekong Chalet... The background was the place we stayed for the 7 weeks..
A picture taken with our PS.. on the jogging track below our block...
That time.. we're all so happy of our passing out from Tekong... but I knew that's only a beginning of and end.. and We're all posted out all over Singapore... quite a lot of us went to Ammo Base... Zach, Tok, Me, Sp, Desmond, 310?, 3101, Tan YS... Germany went to CQ, Ah Kang went to RSAF.. and Hassan became a clerk in Sembawang Camp..
Sp's in PLAD... I've lost contact with Ah Kang... Zach Messaged me when he's about to clear leave some time ago... Desmond .. often sees him in MSN.. Hassan.. receives some junk mail from him now and then... Germany... mailed him ages ago via the SAF mail... once he emailed me Porn using the Army Email.. and I deleted in straight away... LOL ! and I'll be meeting some of them.. on 26th October... my ORD date...
Maybe someday.. I'll write something about PLAD....

Listening To : Auf Der Maur - Real, A Lie Time Of Hallucination : 18.37
Anyone heard of Melissa Auf Der Maur ? She's this replacement bassist who took over D'arcy Wretzky of Smashing Pumpkins... Melissa was actually the bassist of Courtney Love's Hole.. wasn't such a big fan of her cause I'll prefer D'arcy Wretzky anytime ! ...
Yesterday @ HMV.. took a listen to her new solo LP and.. I though it wasn't bad at all..! .. The second track " Followed The Waves " caught me off guard by her prolonged vocals... followed by heavy distortions... and smooth vocals... This song could have easily been the female rocker song of the year ! Click on the link above to listen to her songs... in Full ! * Yeah * !
" I
followed the waves
to you,
I took some pictures on my third ride on the new N.E Subway line 2-3 days ago.. on my way from SGH to Orchard...
Nice shots? .. * hee hee * .. today.. woke up early again for my Rehabilitation.. sounds very serious?.. not really.. just some minor pushing against my shoulder muscles.. to loosen some trigger points of my headache.. very profound.. all I knew was I lay there in Pain ! ...
And Emailed Karen.. who offered me a place in Aamer Taher Design Studio ! I went to the 20 Architects under the age of 45 exhibition some months ago... and listened to him talking about his work.. His works were outstanding with a hidden sense of humor.. It'll be great to be part of his Studio...
Yesterday Mum and I had a chat.. It's about my studies... She had a certain budget to last me a good 2 years of school fees... and I'll be borrowing from some loan company for my third... and she suggested that I should " Fast go.. Fast return... " and wanted me to go for the Feb 2005 session... but....
I did not have any decent savings... I was telling her that... My one year's saving from working should compliment the expenses and housing... Leaving Singapore in 5 months time without any significant savings isn't the best thing to do... So.. a Step closer to Newcastle ... which isn't some bad news...
No doubt I had considered Mum's option of wanting me to leave around Jan 2005... but.. Financially and Mentally... I'm not quite there yet... and I smell fear in living and exploring all alone .. in Australia...
and all.. I'll need some juicy details from SY's sister first... Col. if you're reading.. please fix us up coming year end... thank you very much ...

Listening To : - Time Of Hallucination : 030904 - 00.34
Hmmm.... oh well.. went back to work after all... and almost exploded... never mind...
Went home and sleep a bit.. was really tired mentally and physically.. cause yesterday went to get some stuffs with Mah but ended up getting 3 VCDs... Kung Pow, Kelly Chen's Breaking News.. and the Virgin Suicides !
and today... was... tired... woke up.. got changed and went to meet Mah again.. As I think that .. I might want to cut my hair.. hopping to feel better... When I reach my usual Shinji Matsuo on Level 3 Wisma.. I'm shocked to find out that...
It has closed down... a bit shocked.. Shinji Matsuo.. closed down?!... and I walked back to join Mah n Jeremy over @ his Flash N' Splash.. Mah was certainly amused that Shinji Matsuo was closed down and he wanted to take a look at the empty saloon... as we walked nearer.. there's this sign..
" With effect from 2nd September.. we'll be re locating to Basement 1 .. "
I'm definitely delighted... It's really @ basement .. Hahhaa.. anyway.. it's a fresh new space.. kind of big.. bigger than the old one.. When I walked in.. I felt being ' stared upon ' ... and this lady came up to me.. ' What Style do you want to cut today ? ' .. and it's the same lady who gave me my very first hair cut over there..
Mid of the session.. I asked her If she cut my hair before... and yes.. she still remember me... and asked my lots of questions if I had found difficulty maintaining my hair.. and she gave me some tips on styling and coloring...
and stuffs... and I need not repeat my styling expectations.. cause I think she sort of already had an idea on what I want... anyway... don't think I'm going back... last time I'll cutting my hair short ...
and we went all over the place.. Nokia care center... ( my HP ORD-ed while I'm cutting my hair.. ).. and M1 shops... looks like.. I'm going waste money getting myself a new phone... damn.. saw SO SO SO... I stress.. it's SO SO SO many pretty girls on the streets today ... and... oh well...

Listening To : Tommy Page - Places In My Heart Time On My Computer - 23.41
YEAH.. my internet access's back ! ... after formatting my retarded computer... but now.. after all the formatting.. I still feel that my metal's retarded...
Hmmm... nothing much in camp today... morning went in to do Clearance... Taking Robin's place cause.. I wanted to ' Siam ' the hair check shit.. Cause there's no twin cab to take my ass in.. I slowly walked in to join Ah Hoong who was yesterday's guards...
chatted a bit with him and I got to know that ... A.O. is the Dos for Sunday... good good.. he shall have a taste of my speed clearance... and the better news is that .. Ah Hoong said that he's been ' trapped ' inside R&I all day.. which even made the news sounds sweeter... the same person who said that PLAD is slack.. fuck.. Until the RP takes over Ah Hoong.. I slowly.. walked in R2...
Anyway.. the duty team also wasn't ready for the clearance.. so.. I walked around.. and kept asking Ah Goh why everything's not ready yet... And yours truly started clearing around an hour later.. ( somewhere there ) ... and spotted some 5-6 vouchers that A.O. had seems to have conveniently forgotten to sign.. it's ok.. never mind.. .
After so much pestering phone call made to A.O. by Ah Goh... A.O. came in and settled other stuffs and refuse to sign on the vouchers saying that they're less important.. It's ok.. I can deal with it.. never mind... It's HIM who's been up all night.. It's HIM who's going for his duty off... after hearing him made those brainless statements...
I walked out of R2.. refusing to clear ( i.e to check and sign on their clearance sheet for duty personals to go home... ) So.. I went back to DCC.. ate biscuits.. peanuts.. enjoy the air-con .. played with the 2 crickets which died later on this afternoon... talked with Koonster... and Ah Goh brought those un-signed vouchers out.. nvm..
I cleared and heard that ... A.O. had already left PLAD ! .. without completing the clearance.. and the irony is that.. morning he's in this meeting and said that DOS can only leave PLAD after the clearance had been completed.. and A.O ?... he must be thinking that he's the biggest motherfucker. and went home... big Fu*k...
And after realizing his fucking bike had already gone.. I called him up... saying that I need to clarify with him about a signature problem and stressed that .. he's left without finishing the clearance... and mumbled some shit and say he'll settle tomorrow... fuck head... Some kind of Fake and hypocrite leader ?... fuck.... something's are beyond explanation... ok.. enough of him !
Did I ever told you that.. when I asked him to sign my huge stack of Leave Forms.. He looked at me with that kind of envy look.. and he said... " Wah.. I think if I did not sign on.. I also can start clearing leave and ORD soon.. "... I think he's just being lame.. and I answered back.. " Then who ask u sign on?! ".. of course.. in a friendly manner... * heh *
Should A.O. ever see this fucking page... ( which I don't think so... ) ... " Oh Well.. whatever goes around comes around..."
P.S. Yesterday's gathering was FUN ! .. hope to see all our us together again soon !.. thanks KW for accompany me to the study fair...
