Everyday, if i can help it, i would plomp myself down on a hard wooden chair, not the cushy leather high back one that i had back in Melb and start typing, surfing away on my lappie with out fail till the late hours of the day.
This i do, without fail, even if it makes me dead tired, even though i have things to do the next day.
It is for me, an extension of my days in Melb, where i spent countless hours on the lappie, up late with mates online, typing out essays, getting my internet fix, blogging, even though at times i end up just surfing on forums or leaving the lappie one, its as if i'm still waiting to be in touch with the very people whom i used to converse with daily on msn.
I don't know how long this behavioural abnormality would persist.
Would it fade after awhile?
No more pancake nites, no more home cooked dinners with sis and the gang, i havent cooked properly since i've been back. Yah i can cook for my family here, but it feels different now, pots and pans remain the same, but the kitchen's different, the whole 'fun' factor of cooking n dining with u all is irreplacable.
I want to be Jamie Oliver for you guys all over again.

A trip to bkk versus a trip to Jakarta to help out in a halfway house for kids.
I reckon the latter holds more purpose then my supposed half shopping half temple visiting tour in bkk.
The problem is getting time off work for the whole week in Apr.
Shall try and see if i can make it.
Meanwhile, i would like to appeal to all those whom visit this blog, to kindly donate any simple/childrens' English story books for this trip to Jakarta.
You may contact me via email or mobile as found in this weblog's right hand column.=P
I hope to hear from u all soon!=)

Wheel of life.
What goes around, comes around.
In the miracle that we know it as Life, the ever revolving wheel of fortunes demonstrates that there are highs and lows, pain and joy, recieving and giving, two opposites interacting and causing each other all the time.
Though i have returned to the place i call home for almost 3 months now, i still yearn for the feeling i had when i was in Melb.
Just one year ago at around this very same period, i left dejected and hurt, back to a place i was just so glad to fly back too, to me then, Melbourne was just a place for me to escape, to hide from the displeasures of my life then.
Unexpectedly, friends whom i;ve know in the Army started joining me in Melb that very same year and from there on, a posse of friends whom i all miss so much became my family and emotional support which brought me through a low point of my life.
Although i never discussed or mentioned the cause of my unhappiness when i was with them, save for two close mates whom knew about the shit i was in, i am eternally grateful for them being in my life when i needed them most.
The very presence of these beautiful souls made my life so much more bearable and changed my emotional state for the better.
In fact, this is the thing i miss most about Melb, its not the trams, the shops, the climate, the lifestyle, etc, its being with you all, in Melb that i miss most.
It isnt the cooking, the barbys, the long drives to search for good food that made me miss you all, its the very smiles and laughter we've shared that i yearn for everyday since i've returned.
Just the other day at the airport, i've overheard the PA system calling out for those on SQ 237 to board for their flight back to Melb, i wish i could have been on that flight, for save one, all of you are back in Melb.
Am i just nostalgic or is my behaviour beyond comprehension?
The only answer i know is that i will miss you all very much.

It's a sign. Fall's creek has 'spammed' me but it just reminded me of how much i love that place and those wonderful days spent up there with the mates whom i miss so much. Abeit i am the only one that still remains in Singapore, i feel a strong attachment to this place known to Earthlings as Melbourne, Australia. A new year, new logo, i can't wait, fingers crossed for July 06.

There hasnt been much soup brewing on this webspace for a long time, despite my desire to post, i find my life really routine to the point i dont wish to talk about daily things that i do just to have some new entries in this blog.
Even thinking about life and certain issues, i'm just plain lazy to put those thoughts into letters and i reckon, i'm just simply lazy.No two ways about it.
In fact, i tink i probably have two very strong sinful characteristics, Lust and Sloth.
A whole day of riding beckons tomorrow, this means painful butt, aching crouch and burnt skin under the merciless hot sun.
At least i've cleared all the theory there is to do, i can't wait for the practical test!
Zihui/Cherie's leaving in a couple of hours time to the States, so nice, i wish i can be back to the days of having road trips, travelling to places, etc..i miss those days and the activities so much.
Am i stuck in the past or does reminising means i an individual whom refuses to move on in life?
Have a safe trip Cherie!Share your pix soon!=D

孤单的夜里我不孤单
I actually prefer the version sung by Chen WeiLian.=)
你让我发现天的蓝
蓝的让人好心安
生命的颜色于是开始不平凡
你让我看见海的宽
宽的够容下梦想
生命的样子变得好简单
孤单的夜里我不孤单
爱过的人显得坚强
哭著或笑著入睡都一样
最美丽的脸庞是明早的太阳
孤单的夜里我不孤单
爱过就没有遗憾
笑著或哭著醒来都无妨
有个人住在我的心上
久久长长
我身上有你给的翅膀
在云间水上自由飞翔
灵魂像天一样蓝
像海一样宽不怕孤单
你让我发现天的蓝
蓝的让人好心安
生命的颜色于是开始不平凡
你让我看见海的宽
宽的够容下梦想
生命的样子变得好简单
孤单的夜里我不孤单
爱过的人显得坚强
哭著或笑著入睡都一样
最美丽的脸庞是明早的太阳
孤单的夜里我不孤单
爱过就没有遗憾
笑著或哭著醒来都无妨
有个人住在我的心上
久久长长
我身上有你给的翅膀
在云间水上自由飞翔
灵魂像天一样蓝
像海一样宽不怕孤单
Another week goes by.
My blog has been severely neglected since i have been back on the job, oh well. =P
In a nut shell, there has been certain key highlights that i wish to share with those whom still read my blog.
1) My nonchalent as hell bro has gotten himself a gal, Congrats!
2) I scolded a Bangladeshi worker whom tried to get fresh with two gals on a bus.
3) Another 46 seconds faster and i can get my gold award for IPPT.
4) Attending Class 2B course this coming week!Yay! ScramblerScrambler!
5) Cali is back in town, hope to catch up with her and Krissa soon.=)
Today is the 8th day of the Lunar month, the Hokkiens will commemerate the 9th day by making food offerings and prayers to 天公。
Busy day for mum today and thus i decided to stay at home during the day to help her out, well at least in those little ways in which i am able to.heh.=P
