Foresee the end is near

that is that

It is probably too tough

It probably is

The final goodbye

Will be off to Japan for a few years for work. I guess it is time to start anew. Will try to update my life from here

Mean time....take care everyone


Goodbye

Don't understand

Why is it women's head so messed up?

say A, do B;
say don't do C and then they happily do C themselves.


Clueless

Those famous last words...

I sms a few of my friends just to let them know my confirmed flight date in case they did not notice my nick on msn.

"....If I was an ass, I apologise...."

Let us look at the replies I have from the highest amout to the least (Paraphrased):

1. You ok? Drunk ah? Why you say until so sad.
2. You are an ass, that is why you are my friend
3. Yeah I know you are an ass
4. No lah, u are not an ass lah.
5. When are we meeting up?
6. I cannot decide if you are an ass

It is pretty safe to say...I am an ass

You'll be safe here

Nobody knows
Just why we're here
Could it be fate
Or random circumstance
At the right place
At the right time
Two roads intertwine

And if the universe conspired
To meld our lives
To make us
Fuel and fire
Then know
Where ever you will be
So too shall I be

Chorus:

Close your eyes
Dry your tears
'Coz when nothing seems clear
You'll be safe here

From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Weary heart
You'll be safe here

Remember how we laughed
Until we cried
At the most stupid things
Like we were so high
But love was all that we were on
We belong

And though the world would
Never understand
This unlikely union
And why it still stands
Someday we will be set free.
Pray and believe

Chorus:

When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here

Save your eyes
From your tears
When everything's unclear
You'll be safe here

From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Wounded heart

When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here

When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here

In my arms
Through the long cold night
Sleep tight
You'll be safe here

When no one understands
I'll believe
You'll be safe,
You'll be safe
You'll be safe here
Put your heart in my hands
You'll be safe here

Tabula

Recently I found a gem at China one; a pub in Clark Quay. With the urging of a friend that there is an awesome band, we went there to check it out. It did not start well when they refuse to give up seats unless we open a bottle of Jack Daniels. What a load of bullshit, we were going to get a bottle of Black Label and they still denied us seats. But as usual, my friend manage to charm her way into getting us a seat.

The band; Tabula started to play and boy was they good. They played covers and the lead has a voice which sounds rough but good. You listen to Nickelback, Lifehouse etc...you will like them.

It was a great night of catching up and music. Will definately be back for more!

Morten's Steak

Mention steak to any fan and most likely they will say Morten's Steak. Recently I decided to give it a try after padding my bank account with extra cash (Let's just say you need lots of padding). The place was pretty dim and we had to take a seat at the bar for our seats (even after reservations). But I did not have to wait long before I was ushered to my seat. The service was really good, they really make you feel good that you are going to spend a bomb.

A huge onion bread was placed infront of me. The smell really made me hungry. Upon taking the first bite, I was blown away. It has been some time since I have eaten a bread of such taste and texture. The waiter had to warn me to stop as the mains were the steak afterall. The waiter will come with a tray to display the different cuts of beef and sides they were serving. You decide the cut you want and order sides as it does not come with it. (Please share, the beef steak is HUGE)

We ordered Wild Mushroom and sliced potatoes. There were done perfectly, so good that I can come here just for the sides. The beef was really big and thick; with blood oozing with every cut I made. If was done beautifully, the beef melts with a slight tinge of the roasting. Once you tasted this, you really dont know how to go back to other beef. (I still like Angus at Takashimaya, but it is a whole different experience)

Dessert was the chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. A dessert which you cannot go wrong with. Need I even describe the heavenly experience everytime one tries it.

Enough said, just go try!

"Me" Time

It has been a long time since I had some along time to recharge. Just some time to bum, chill and basically laze.

So many heartbroken men

Was out meeting my friends from NS and realised we were all heartbroken men. I have my own experiences and as I listen to some of their stories, I realise we are all so ruled by our heart.



Even the strongest love will leave once in a while; even in a serious and deep relationship. Even all the promises made will not mean a thing; afterall they are just words. Sometimes we will fall on the wrong side. Sometimes we are just too scared.

It's that effort to be there for the other even when they are not there. Believing that what you have will some way find the love that was once. Can you be humbled and acknowledge that you are wrong? Being truthful about what is going on deep inside you.

But sometimes when all is said and done, one must know when it is time to come back to reality. Have the courage to move on and not look back. Sometimes it is ok to be selfish, just for yourself since there is nothing left. Sometimes it is alright to make yourself happy and not make the everyone's problem your own. Such is a burden too big for a human.

AWESOME AWESOME GAME...

This guy has amazing vision and perspective. Even if you are not a gamer, just watch the last 1-2 mins and listen to what he has to say.

The drink list please....

Tennis no more

テニスをでかなくなります (I used to be able to play tennis)

A really bad case of Golfer's elbow has prevented me from any more tennis. Even if I want to, no more hard hitting tennis. Bad backhand habits has finally caught up with me. Even after resting for so many months, I still feel a slight pain when I do certain actions (Eg. when I gel my hair).

I really missed the game. I hope it recovers soon.

Cute Dog

I hate dogs cause they like to lick me. But this one very cute and lets just say I cannot afford to get on her bad books.

Snail porn

Was walking when I caught sight of to snails getting some action I think. See the white thing in the first photo, I think thats the dart like thing. Interestingly, they are hermaphrodites, individuals contain both male and female sex organs, they do not self-fertilize.

So "erotic"....

Here is a link to learn more.

Pump it up

I went to the Pump Room for dinner and drinks. Thought the lighting made this photo really nice. Food was not too bad, beers were interesting. Overall nice place to chill. Happy hour prices are pretty good too.

Just spending some time with her, it could be at some remote island for all I care.

NCC (LAND) Silent Mobilisation

Before I leave, I decided to meet up with some really old secondary school friends from eca. But I have only been contact with a few of them. So I decided to ask them to spread the word for a silent mobilisation at Timbre.

It was really good to catch up with them. It has been so long since I met up with them. As always, all of us changed. Fatter, smater, longer hair etc. Did not get as many people as I thought, well, at least I knew some of them was still contactable but could not make it. I guess it really takes someone to push for a meeting to happen, it just happens that I am leaving soon.

Here are some friends I have spent really tough times with. Some activities we did were even worst than army. I hope to see them after I come back the next time...maybe with kids too. heh!

Danesia

Look at her poor nose....she wacked herself with a chair.

She always pout at people to get her way. Who can resists her.

1 year old and counting. I really hope she can call me uncle before I fly. Hahahah!

Japanese Language

A really good friend - Miss V, used to study the Japanese Language. Recently she put the words "あいしてる” (I think is means Loving). So I asked her, "だれがあいしますか” (Who do you love). And because she has not really touched the language for a long time, she was not quite sure what I was asking. She replied trying to tell me that Japanese language is difficult - "にほんごわへんたいです”

On reading her last sentence in Japanese I was stumped *Jaws dropped*. I took a second look and tried to think of all the different grammer structure to decipher the meaning, but alas I could not. I can only understand it in English as "Japansese language is weird" The funny thing is へんたい is usually used to mean weird with sexual nuance. Imagine my shock...almost fell off the chair laughing. Such a mistake comes once in a life time (though I happen to know a person who commits such boo boo frequently.)

But hey, she did not touch the language for some time already. From now, she is Miss Hentai. hahaha!

Was it the right choice

Sometimes I wonder was if it the right decision, especially for her.

Was my decision a fair one?

Happy Birthday 2nd Princess

Happy Birthday to my 2nd niece - Danesia.

You are definately acting like a princess.

Uncle again....x3

I am once again an uncle to a baby girl. Welcome to the world Alicia (or is it spelled Alisia)

Following family tradition...she has a head full of hair. Pictures will be up when I get my hands on it

Timbre

It is always good to meet up with old friends from hall. Think abt the time we eat charmee and play basketball etc.

The photo does not really show it, but I was in pink, shorty was in pink/purple strips and so were the backrow two girls. Someone was the odd one out.

Harry Potter

Finally....

Will You

Will you...
give me a promise; a promise of the future.
wish me the best; even after knowing what lies ahead.
be with me when I am not here.
look forward for what is ahead.
keep the hopes and dreams alive.

Easily said; with or without thought.
It can mean so much and yet so little; both at the same time.

Will you


If not
then what will you...

Heads up

I will be leaving Singapore for work earliest at the end August or early Sept. If there is delay in my visa, then I will leave later.

What is happening

I stepped into Isetan and was just walking around to kill some time before my friends turn up. Next thing I know, I was walking away with a shirt and pants and was thinking if I should get the bag, another shirt and some other stuff.

Is it the additional income? (But I am not getting a lot)
Is it because of the sale? (Oh no, so aunty thinking)

Where is the logical me? The one who don't buy on impluse. Where is the Ansley who tries to save his hard earn money to spurge on trips? Oh man, I really burned my bank account this month.

Why you should be a geek

Tan lines are not cool....

Very Nice Youtube Clip

I wonder....

No more Shitty days

I always thought I have the stomach for anything; a digestive system to match the Man of Steel. Finally I realised even an iron stomach can be broken down, just like when u put Superman with Kryptonite, Straight Man with Kate Beckinsale and Women with Johnny Depp. (Fine, the last two is debatable)

I caught diarrhea after a bout of fever (how 'lucky'), innocent little illness which hits once in a blue moon to anyone. It turned out to be two weeks of toilet running for me. I never knew how cramps felt like in your body till then. If that is what some women have to go through every month, they have freaking every right to be moody. It is like someone literally putting a hand inside my guts and twisting them and just for fun, the hand squeezes my intestines. Just imagine running to the toilet every hour when u are sleeping and having to sleep in some weird contorted shape to ease the pain. I am not kidding when I say that what goes in comes out in 15mins. What came out from the crap hole is the same form as what comes out from the pee hole - waste water. It really drained the life out of me.

Never had a diarrhea lasted more than 2 days in my life. I was pretty worried when the doctor suspect some form of viral infection. I still can't traced back what I ate that might be the cause. I had soft food as much as I can, not that it mattered; the food always comes out. I guess sometimes even Superman needs a break. I am only human.

And this morning when I took a dump, never was I happier to feel solids coming out from me. YEAH, No more Shitty days...literally. Crappy days are over. I am still a little wary, but damn I am happy.

Drained

The intenstine infection has taken a huge toil on me. So bloody tired just to be awake. Feeling really sucky at the moment. Argh

Maybe I need alcohol. The only thing I can think that is different is my diet, I did not get my drinks last week... Hmmm...

Not feeling well

Bad Kharma?

I have not been feeling well for the past few days. First it was a sudden fever, then a really bad case of diarrhea.

Sigh

Toys

It has been a long time since I last seen gadgets. I try not too keep myself intouch as I will be very tempted to spend my last cent on them. I have finally decided to make a trip to Simlim to get a external harddrive.

The damage:

• I got myself a 3.5inch 500gig harddisk. Woohoo....no more storage problem. Bring on the photos, music, animes and shows.

• Got a wireless mouse. It's my first wireless laser mouse and boy I love the feeling. Look - No wires. But alas, I don't really like the scroll feel. I like those with the hinge feel. I will probably get use to it.

• Ho ho ho, I got a webcam too. I wonder what I can do with it

I saw the coolest mouse ever, but it cost $179. Click Here

Remember this?

I played this online game few years back in NTU. It was really addictive and a good way to learn to draw properly. It really was a blast from the past when a friend ask me to play it again. I can still remember Ping introducing me to that game, and I had trouble spelling the word properly. Damn it.


Isketch

Try it!!!

Hot Fuzz

I caught this show Hot Fuzz over in Sydney. I must say it rocks. Go catch it, I swear it is really worth it.

Note: Don't be late for the show, pay attention....

Sometimes it is not as easy as I thought it will be

I wish I can change and turn back time, but I can't.
I hope I can believe again, but somehow it never feels the same again.
Perhaps the crash was too great.
I reckon because I know; I know and that is why it is so difficult.

I wonder, I wonder.

Relics

I found this on sale. Brings back memories of JC. Best is yet to be.


I was clearing my room when I found some really old stuff. This was a children's day present from primary school.


And the table tennis bat was the first ever bat I owned in Primary 2.

Bye hall

After 4 years, I am finally home for good. Going to miss the freedom I get in hall....

Funky bus

Went on bus 54 sometime back and thought I was at a pub....

Trying again

I am trying....again.

Good? Bad?

I want a digicam

Sydney really brought back my interest in photography. I want a digital camera. I want something small so I can carry around, but the geek in me wants to have at least some manual control over the aperture settings. And afterall I am a guy, I wish to have nice zooming distance and wide angle. I was and don't think I have an eye for nice pictures, so I guess I will settle for a consumer digicam. And obviously, the price must be right.

Canon? Panasonic? Ricoh? Any suggestions?

So tired

I'm so tired....I need a holiday

I know

I learnt that I can replace the lack of intelligence with hardwork

I learnt that I can alieanate the world if I have to

I forgotten what is it like to make friends


I learnt that I really love the game of tennis

I learnt that I have lost my will power

I forgotten what is it like to talk


I learnt that I too sometimes can cry

I learnt that I too will feel pain

I forgotten what is it like to believe


I learnt to let go

I learnt to forget

I forgotten what is it like to trust


I learnt how important family and friends are

I learnt what I don't know about myself

I forgotten what is it like to let go

Finally...

At long last, I am a graduate. 4 years in uni is a long time and I'm so glad I made it through and still sane. Got better results then expected for last sem and finally got a honours that I did not expect too.

Finally....can put that part of my life aside.
