My friends are so depressed
I feel the question
Of your loneliness
Confide...cause Ill be on your side
You know I will, you know I will
X girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate
On the prison phone
They want... to give her 7 years
For being sad
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on
The brink of emptiness
No words... I know of to express
This emptiness
Imagine me taught by tragedy
Release is peace...
I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give... your love no matter what..
..is what she said..
I love all of u hurt by the cold..
so hard and lonely too,
when u don't know yourself...

A new morning. A different morning.
In a shitty sorta mood. Spent a little time reflecting last night and looking through my previous entries from 2-3 years back! wow. time flies huh~ All those little steps add up to big ones and looking back, perhaps i've changed a tad. Also, last night pushed me into the realness of life. I, along with many others, spend so much time looking forward, that we seem to forget where we come from. It's true that we shouldn't dwell on the past, but we mustn't forget it, because very often, answers to the future lies in the past. Nobody is perfect, so we need to and should learn. After all, as Ghandi said :" Live as if you will die tomorrow, Learn as if you will live forever." Apart from being a great dude, these words, his words makes alot of sense. And where else to learn from except the past, and others(and their past)? I hope i've learnt a great deal, and will learn a great deal more~.
Enjoying a bowl of cereal and pikelets that teagan mades! she should stay over more often! ^_^ cereal is good, and the pikelets are better! Sheesh i think i'm really indulging too much every morning! In fact, i usually eat so full until i only have space for a minuscule lunch. A photo of the chef in action.
Last night we had a royal steak and it was good! meats are so much cheaper here (o happy day~) The food here is prolly not healthier, but somehow it feels healthier! maybe that's the reason everytime i come over i put on alot! sighs. exam results today! I hope i dun screw up den cannot do honours! :( wells i dun care wadever i get as long as i'm allowed to do year 4~ I sooooo dun wanna work yet cos i'm unprepared!~ OK i'm back here now with my results and all checked. This sem has reiterated my belief that studying for exams for me is next to useless. I've long questioned the usefulness of studying for exams in NUS, especially because : 1) when i put in the effort to study, my grades do not improve. 2) when i study only hours (if at all) before my exam, my grades do not drop. My grades are unspectacularly mediocre yet AGAIN. Not good enough to celebrate, not poor enough to contemplate self-mutilation. Anyhow, here i am, sitting in my bed while the West Coast Eagles take on Carlton outside on channel3. I'm freezing my ass off now and i am seriously considering saving some bath water for the good of the planet, being the environmentalist that i am hurhur. 1 more week to returning to singapore! While i miss home a tad, i must admit, incredulously, that i'll prolly miss, as well, this rather placid country where my older relatives and the few adorable gnats call home~ It's been a pleasurable stay here with my macbook, DS, cards and my book~ Perhaps later i'll go practice some card tricks. Many say that card tricks need to be practiced, but my skills hardly get rusty, since i know next to no tricks. but practice is good cos it keeps me with something to do, and i get to wow the kiddies here and there haha. Also, i'll spend some time looking into the history of opium in southeastasia since K is bugging me to do it. It's quite funny, but being in the company of so many here, i find that i spend the majority of my day with K on Gchat! haha. Distance can bring pple closer i suppose, tho this isn't closer exactly. lol 'Closer'. haha that nice show btw. Today was cold and drizzly, which meant that there wasn't any activity outside the safe, warmer confines of home. Well contrary to what others think, i believe that one CAN enjoy a holiday just bumming around at home with nice biscuits, good breakfast and a flavourful cup of tea/or the occasional hot chocolate. We had a good round of mahjong today. Sigh. After about 1000 games of mahjong over 10 years, it seems to get a tad boring. Each round used to be a puzzle, yet now it seems like a bunch of algorithms. And there used to be a thrill of winning by great margins and making people Bao when u've got big cards. Well, now all that remains is bragging rights (which actually isn't too bad is it? haha). This is a snap of Isla joy n alyssa joan. To be continued tmrw.

A cold morning + warm love. A good morning
Teagan Jane makes waffles for us. And they are good. Better than mum's, to which mum nods grudgingly.

And then Teagan Jane calls upon her assistant Alyssa Joan to dish out the utensils, and blueberries!
An efficient partnership, with an understanding borne from being sisters.
After that breakfast isn't complete without tai-ji's blueberry muffins! Fresh muffins and waffles.
Breakfast doesn't get better, especially when it's close to the heart.
Dad's finally up, so we all have breakfast together. Didn't go
for a walk this morning because of the slight drizzle. A lazy kinda morning, which explains the entry this early. Oh..i need to get the recipes. Tsktsk. Brb.

Pretty awesome! it's been like more than a year since i last posted, and it seems circumstances are different! In tassie now and surrounded by two spectrums of the life cycle~ The scenery here is quite breathtaking, but then again maybe i've not seen much. these are some photos from my V9 razr~ If the mobile had not been bought for me by J, i reckon i'd've long tested my shotput skills by the tasman sea~ Date's 26th may, and i've spent exactly a week and a day here in tasmania. Here goes.
19th May- Tullamarine airport. Dad decides to test my resistance to annoyance. When the Lord sents someone to help you out with the golf clubs, u DO NOT leave the trolley behind, and in so doing forcing the good samaritan to be your eternal slave.
2pm, upon buying fish n chips and reaching home, i keep telling myself that i must not sleep, lest my body clock gets screwed. i can't believe how quick i've forgotten how nice the weather here can get. 16 degrees celsius on a backdrop of a kind sun sharing it's non-glaring radiance. I must not sleep. I must not sleep. But hey the weather is great! I must not sleep. It's amazing how warm it is in the house. I must not sleep. The lunch has finally settled. Fish n chips is always good. But fish and chips in australia, where the fish is fresh, and the weather is lovely, makes the meal all the more enjoyable. Okay it's 3pm, and i boot up my computer. Check my email and find out that i do not know the passkey for the router. that'll have to wait since i can't get hold of ken. So i decide to play a game or LUX on the macbook. Ok i conquered the world, and it's not 3.35pm. Since i cannot sleep, i decide to play Another game of risk. This time, black(hard AI) decides to gang up with the rest to take me out, before snuffing out the rest of the unwitting players. And it is now 3.42pm. Hmm. Time doesn't pass that fast when there is nothing to do is there? i start up my nintendo DS and play some Hearts. Player 3 reached 106 points in 5 games. And the time reads 4pm. I must not sleep. Even though i am dead tired. I must not sleep. And then i wonder what jeanne is doing. I've left her messages which she hasn't yet replied. Hmm..i wonder wad mum and dad is up to~ and wad bro's doing..hmm..and then i....must not sleep...and then..i realise how warm it is under the doona..and then, it is..DINNER TIME?! i've been out cold for about 3 hours. Dinner had better be good~ and it turns out to be claypot rice. I know why claypot rice is famous in Singapore. It's because it always turns out right there.
22nd May. Bruny Island. It was nice~ probably too nice to describe, so these are some photos. remember the camera, and rethink those questions. hehheh.
That's from the first lookout we chanced upon. I can't quite remember what it's called now. I like how the long part kinda connects onto the main part of Bruny island. Much like how a finger connects to the palm of the hand. See the river on both sides of the land? pretty nice this~ The photo doesn't do the view justice to be honest.

next photo is the view from Cape Bruny(i'm not that good with names..so i can't guarantee it's validity). There is a light house here, but a lighthouse is really just a light house. The view beyond the lighthouse though is of much more interest. It faces an open sea/river. You can't quite see anything beyond the river except a hint of highlands in the blurry distance.
The breeze hits your face and it is cool; The soft purring of grasses wisping around at the command of the breeze; The whispering of the waves against the rocks/shore; All evidence that natural serenity can be found in this age.
Ok from bruny we take the 330pm ferry to rush back for dinner at June and Damian's at 5pm. After the mad rush, we reach their place the wrong side of 5pm, only to find that we're the first guests there! I had a glass of red wine, which was a bit sour, but goes down well. Dinner is served at 630/or 7(i lost track of time) and thereafter footy starts. WB vs Geelong and it's an intriguing game in which geelong winds up the winner by 2 points. By then though, i'm back home, and checking my email, and my restaurant on facebook.
23rd May, and we leave for launceston at 1030. We travel along the midlands hwy, and reach launceston just in time to meet ken after tennis coaching. We go to someplace to eat australian charkwayteow, which comes with sliced cabbage, crabstick, chicken, sotong, carrots. and then, we head to the newsagency to buy a pack of anticols and some soothers. I find out later it's purpose. It's a good thing i travelled with ken, so i had tons to inquire about, life, love, food, family, the likes. I start to notice a pattern. After some silence, ken requests some assistance in freeing a lozenge from it's wrapper, and he pops it, and we start talking again. Which leads me thinking, why anticol and soothers?! there're like so better tasting lollies to keep us awake! omg licorice and medicinal grape?! well well ken likes is, so to each his own~ Ken said he booked some place for 6, but he's not seen the place. Haha we kept our fingers crossed.
We arrive boat harbour just before dark, and settle in. There's a nice woodfire heater and all. Love it. Essondon vs Richmond is on TV, and i'm so glad the bombers snared the tigers with a 40 pt win. Ken decides that he's done watching essendon, and asks for company for a carride to recce the route to stanley. And i hesitantly oblige. Dad follows suit. The winds at stanley is madness. I could hardly open the cardoor against the wind. Standing beside a geographical phenomenon called 'the nut', can decides to take a photo of me and vice-versa. These go into 'the freak children out' category. Freaking cold, shivering hands, bitch blackness. Someone remind ken that the flash on a mobile phone camera doesn't do much in catastrophic weather. And back to the cabin we go~ I shared the sofa bed with ken, and the night was warm for one of us. Apparently i was clever enough to unconsiously pull all the blanket to my side, leaving ken and his paltry modest shorts to the midnight cold. I also booby-trapped the underneath of the blanket with my personal scent to fend off Ken's silly ideas of getting the blanket back. All this whilst i was asleep! Ken may have pulled a fast one on me, but it was a good story nonetheless.
24th May, 620am, we're up, and we leave for stanley pier to do some fishing. We arrive at 715, and the sun is just about to rise. The wind is too strong to bring buckets and fishing kit to the wharf so we do up our rods inside the back of the car, and head out to the wharf, probably the stupidest idea yet. It is freezing cold, and the wind is stronger than the night before, i was on the verge of getting swept away! The waves that hit the shore sprayed up a heap of moisture that got me properly drenched. But WTH whats an adventure without a little danger? We catch nothing because of the low tide, the choppy waves, and the ridiculous wind. I shouldve known when i spotted no locals fishing. We head back back 845am, demoralised, and we tell the usual "well we caught a huge one but it couldn't fit in the car so we had to throw it back" story.
NEXT, we go sight-seeing. Back to stanley so mum gets to contemplate walking up the nut, which she smartly declines, and then to boat harbour for lunch, which includes fried rice, before we visit dip falls, where i actually fell enroute; the irony of it all. It was nice.
Dip falls.
From there we go to table cape, which is a giant cliff next to another lighthouse. Pretty amazing i say..the cliff view is breathtaking. No photo does it justice. It's high enough so that u cannot quite hear the waters. And you can see along the coastline of tasmania. There's also a lighthouse 1km from the site. It's really quite 'omg'. A photo to pique some interest.
Next up is a looooong way back to launceston...zzz...talked to ken about music and stuff. We reach and check in at the arc manor and had dominos pizza and salad from woolworths for dinner. Mental note to tell bro that there's a ken has a nice guitar at his place, and it actually belongs to bro. Ken and i watched 'the unborn' and i learnt that odette yustman is not just a movie poster photogenic hottie. I also said hi to sunny, and she allowed me to use some of the korean i learnt i picked up in sch~ like keneun syaworhaeyo~ annyeonghasaeyo~~ she said jeanne was very pretty and i am very lucky. Have to agree on that! ^_^ I followed up with Ken's lucky too and nordo yepeumnida~ I remove my contacts into in a drinking mug with some inviting saline solution. Gdnite. sleep tight. dun let the bed bugs bite.
25th june, Morning, and we have savloys and eggs and baked beans for lunch. Ken goes to work, so we say our goodbyes. Off we go, back to Hobart. We take the tasman hwy on the eastern coastal route, so we get to do more sightseeing. It an arduous route, into the hills and dirt tracks. We see more farms and vegetation, before heading to st columbus falls. We couldn't get quite as close to the water fall as we'd like, but the sight of it was really something. I drank some water and it tasted good. It was cool/refreshing. 2 pics.
We also visited a place called ringarooma. WHere there were these chainsaw carvings from trees!~ Amazing. Self explanatory these pictures are, even with low quality.

There are more. But kinda lacking the patience to wait while everything downloads. So onwards commarades! we stop at St. helens for lunch by the pier side. Han sandwiches and nice salad on poppyseed breads. Blueberry muffins. I love holidays.
We head back to hobartttttt...on a long/painful/scary ride with dad at the helm of our vehicle. and reach back at 615pm. We get some chicken from woolworths, and that's our dinner. All in a days work. I boot up my restaurant city to catch up on lost time. level 27 here i come! tmrw i'll change the deco.

May 26, tuesday. Early morning walk at 730, breakfast cereal at 9. Download GG ep.25. 1130am, i follow june, damian, dad and alyssa to watch maddie swim! a pic of alyssa.
After swimming, we dropped by channel court and banjos/mures to buy a pack of 12 party pies, a steak/mushroom pie, a steak/onion/tomato pie, pepper/steak pie, cheese/cauliflower pie, and a pack of fish and chips! i had 4 party pies, and the cheese/cauliflower pie, and took half of jiex2karen's steak/onion/tomato pie! i topped it all off with some communal fish and chips haha.
Took the day off with a nice blissful nap..oh yeah..woke up for dinner, which was a weird kinda noodles (failed) with beef and other veggies. kinda mushy but (barely)pallatable i suppose. Can't get nice food everyday, so i'll take what i get! played jeanne's restaurant city but she's in dire need of the cream ingredient.
here i am. update again tmrw~ gonna MY chiong restaurant city now and overtake sabrina by tonight~ Promise to update tmrw! (if anything of worth comes about) signing off.

We head back back 845am, demoralised, and we tell the usual "well we caught a huge one but it couldn't fit in the car so we had to throw it back" story.
NEXT, we go sight-seeing. Back to stanley so mum gets to contemplate walking up the nut, which she smartly declines, and then to boat harbour for lunch, which includes fried rice, before we visit dip falls, where i actually fell enroute; the irony of it all. It was nice.
Dip falls.
From there we go to table cape, which is a giant cliff next to another lighthouse. Pretty amazing i say..the cliff view is breathtaking. No photo does it justice. It's high enough so that u cannot quite hear the waters. And you can see along the coastline of tasmania. There's also a lighthouse 1km from the site. It's really quite 'omg'. A photo to pique some interest.
Next up is a looooong way back to launceston...zzz...talked to ken about music and stuff. We reach and check in at the arc manor and had dominos pizza and salad from woolworths for dinner. Mental note to tell bro that there's a ken has a nice guitar at his place, and it actually belongs to bro. Ken and i watched 'the unborn' and i learnt that odette yustman is not just a movie poster photogenic hottie. I also said hi to sunny, and she allowed me to use some of the korean i learnt i picked up in sch~ like keneun syaworhaeyo~ annyeonghasaeyo~~ she said jeanne was very pretty and i am very lucky. Have to agree on that! ^_^ I followed up with Ken's lucky too and nordo yepeumnida~ I remove my contacts into in a drinking mug with some inviting saline solution. Gdnite. sleep tight. dun let the bed bugs bite.25th june, Morning, and we have savloys and eggs and baked beans for lunch. Ken goes to work, so we say our goodbyes. Off we go, back to Hobart. We take the tasman hwy on the eastern coastal route, so we get to do more sightseeing. It an arduous route, into the hills and dirt tracks. We see more farms and vegetation, before heading to st columbus falls. We couldn't get quite as close to the water fall as we'd like, but the sight of it was really something. I drank some water and it tasted good. It was cool/refreshing. 2 pics.

We also visited a place called ringarooma. WHere there were these chainsaw carvings from trees!~ Amazing. Self explanatory these pictures are, even with low quality.

There are more. But kinda lacking the patience to wait while everything downloads. So onwards commarades! we stop at St. helens for lunch by the pier side. Han sandwiches and nice salad on poppyseed breads. Blueberry muffins. I love holidays.
We head back to hobartttttt...on a long/painful/scary ride with dad at the helm of our vehicle. and reach back at 615pm. We get some chicken from woolworths, and that's our dinner. All in a days work. I boot up my restaurant city to catch up on lost time. level 27 here i come! tmrw i'll change the deco.

May 26, tuesday. Early morning walk at 730, breakfast cereal at 9. Download GG ep.25. 1130am, i follow june, damian, dad and alyssa to watch maddie swim! a pic of alyssa.
After swimming, we dropped by channel court and banjos/mures to buy a pack of 12 party pies, a steak/mushroom pie, a steak/onion/tomato pie, pepper/steak pie, cheese/cauliflower pie, and a pack of fish and chips! i had 4 party pies, and the cheese/cauliflower pie, and took half of jiex2karen's steak/onion/tomato pie! i topped it all off with some communal fish and chips haha.
Took the day off with a nice blissful nap..oh yeah..woke up for dinner, which was a weird kinda noodles (failed) with beef and other veggies. kinda mushy but (barely)pallatable i suppose. Can't get nice food everyday, so i'll take what i get! played jeanne's restaurant city but she's in dire need of the cream ingredient.
here i am. update again tmrw~ gonna MY chiong restaurant city now and overtake sabrina by tonight~ Promise to update tmrw! (if anything of worth comes about) signing off.

A sad song,..by Alizee
j'ai un sommeil bien ce matin..
et j'ai apprise une chanson appele "coup de boule". elle est vraiment amusant!~
quoi qu'il en soit, je suis eu une bonne semaine...j'espere que semaine prochain est similaire! ensuite, je vais aller a chez jeanne pour visiter elle chien. Summer donne naissance a quatre chiots hier~ ils est tres adorable~
demain je rencontre ellard, brandon et barry pour joue au foot..j'attendre avec impatience rencontrer eux..heheheh..nous sommes eu quelque bon moments ensemble.
dessus est une chanson magnifique..
le refrain de 'coeur deja pris' de Alizee.
Retiens-moi pour l'amour de l'autre
Retiens-moi, ce n'est pas de ma faute
Même, si je vois, c'est mon choix:
Ton coeur est dé jà pris, aussi je crois,
que l'amour est parfois, ainsi.
Et retiens-moi
C'était dit, je sais : ton coeur est pris, et
Retiens-moi
Même si c'est ainsi.

it's been awhile hasn't it?
omg it's been more than a year and a half since i last posted! wince then, i've entered into a new phase of life: university, and 3 semesters worth at that! Jeanne is sleeping now and so i decided to come in to snoop around for a bit..i just finished my bath u see, and during my bath i set myself a new years resolution~~ i shall write a day-to-day(if time permits) journal...and since i just studied some basic french, i shall attempt to do so in french! where else better than here on my blog!(which seems to be collecting dust of late..) I shan't tell Jeanne about it just yet...haha...i wonder to myself now, just why am i wanting so? maybe some self reflection, or more so that i dun want the little french that i've learnt to go down the chute..perhaps a little of both!~ so i guess it's a kill two birds with one stone situation.
D'accord!~San plus de cérémonie, entreprenons!
Aujourd'hui, je n'ai pas fait beacoup. J'ai regardé le film Le Seigneur des Anneaux- Les deux tours avec mon frère. C'était bien parce que il est pars ce soir pour sydney.
j'essaye à écrire encore demain!
À Demain!

back to my senses..
gundam seed madness finally over, i've finally regained whats left of my rational mind and decided to focus on what is, and what has always been, important to me: jeanne : )
keeping in line with my memo habit, i've decided to add a few more to my growing stack of what i lovingly call 'dear jeanne memos', a personal achievement borne after a brilliant burst of ideas which led me to write down (yes, Write Down) a reminder to e-mail her, lest i forget, which is no less a mystery seeing how often i think of her.
so, my new babies will be:
memo1 - reminder to take the day she returns off -block off dates feb 3-6 now!!
memo2 - reminder to be at the airport BEFORE she gets there because she will be so sad if she doesnt see my beautiful face and new hair (slopes and all) once she gets down the plane
memo3 - reminder to take feb14th off, because, and im so romantic i would never forget this date, it is valentines day and i need to spend it with jeanne
memo4 - reminder to take feb14th off NOW!!
memo5 - reminder to prepare gifts for my darling as a show of my immense love... some ideas would be: oh i dont know, my romantic mind isnt working well now
memo 6 - reminder to take the day results come back (not necessarily the 17th of course) off so that i can be there for my dear when she goes through the most traumatic moment of her sweet life
memo 7 - reminder to love her the rest of my life : ) -easy peasy!!
all this thinking and writing has got me tired, i think i'm getting old. i guess its the post-teenage years syndrome taking over.. lucky i've got all my memos to remind me of whats important!!
jeanne madness!!!

Saltwater wells in my eyes~
A Boring day of little note except the stubborn dew drops that seem to keep rolling from the sad sad sky..ignoring all my pleas to cease. I've been sickly and block-nosey all week and this topsey turvy weather isn't doing me good at all...so it's best i went somewhere protected from this foul weather! Keeping in mind my personal responsibility to take care of myself i scurried to the mess for shelter! (and a sheltered haven i found :P)
Sleep was on the cards for the next 4 hours and then baby jeanne called and 4 became 3 in what was to be a nice call :) though feeling alone once again, sleep came over me before i could think too much of it~
sleep was great and refreshing toO! didn't wanna lug my heavy body outta bed but a growling tummy forced it's way down to the office to change and go for dinner~ i can still feel the warmth of my covers...*smiles*
the aftermath of dinner: A DISASTER! haven't had such a bad dinner in a long long time and my growling tummy is now churning and churning non-stop so i guess it's a trip to the Gents in no time and i hope it's currently not warring in tHAt state..
POP rehearsals coming up next so no more lumbering around with no aim..
wish i could book out ***

The Abyss Within Oneself...
Today was a miserably boring day and the highlight was calling Jeanne and coming clean about what i've been thinking...
the office is totally noisy and it's funny that with all the noise within, all i hear is echos within my vacuum heart..
Oh and then jeanne logs onto MsN and my world changes into a spinning waterfall of rainbows and all seems okay and happy again : )
i think i need her...
plaed soccer just now with a few ex trainees and realised that i really am NOT THAT good after all :P hahaha...always was interested in soccer and of course it helps that i've some sort of ability which keeps me glued to it....hahahahah...i love soccer truth be told and i dunt know why i do but i just do : P
tomorrow please be less boring than today :)

a moment of reflection
its amazing wat one can do when one is ... how shall i put it. caught up in the flurry of the moment, the tide of excitement, the explosion of passion. indeed i am that victim. a victim of impulsiveness, the downfall of all men. to keep such secrets frm my one and only (that would be jeanne of course, not. ... her..) to use her as a.. (dare i say it) a STEPPING stone, a tool, a pawn, a THING! utter foolishness! shallowness! may lightning strike me down! a hundred times! may the earth crumble under my feet and swallow me, with that selfishness that is such a part of me, whole into the ground, never to stain the light again!
i guess the only way i can make it up to her now is..
1. offer her a thousand roses, (not a single less, because shes very particular) accompanied with as many kisses
2. buy her an extraextra yummy cake for her birthday
3. whip up a sumptious 7 course dinner, candlelight of course
4. love her for the rest of my life:)
5. most importantly, be her willing slave the rest of my life --such an honour this would be!
such a delight being with she who is above all others! oh my soul sings and my heart flutters at the mere thought of her! no one can deny her beauty, her wit, her grace.. definitely a 10/10:)
heeheehee~!
