Updates

Whoa... okay its been awhile.
It's 2 days to the new year and i'm gonna do a recap of what's been going on.
If you don't already know i broke up with my 2nd gf a few weeks back. It just didnt work out and yea i'm fine but i don't really wanna talk abt it.
My exams were alright. Did pretty well actually, which was sort of a surprise.
85.75% overall
Psych 91
HOI 89
Eng 86
Econs 77 (THIS WAS A BIIIIG SURPRISE!!! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!!! Without you that wldnt have been possible)
EAP 85

Yea so...PRAISE GOD for my good results!!!
Other than that....i was in Japan for a solid 2weeks.
Yea what a long time huh? After the holiday i was like "okay, you guys are my family and i love you guys but...eh 2weeks 24/7 is a LITTLE too much" hahahha.

We were in Tokyo Disneyland/sea for 3days then went to tokyo for another 3. Went to Hakone next, The Hot Springs are AWESOME!!!! Took a train to Kyoto where we stayed at a traditional Japanese inn. The castles are truly a work of art. The nightingale floor is a technological marvel, indicating to guards if there was an intruder in the castle.

A short drive to Osaka and we were at Osaka castle which is one of the most beautiful castles ever constructed! The gold and green truly display the importance and worth of it. Osaka was nice, kinda reminded me of Melbourne...not too crowded like Tokyo but not too rural either. The trip was truly an enjoyable and interesting one.

Reached home on the nite of the 22nd and immediately went to prepare for christmas eve dinner at my place with all my relatives. What a rush man!!! Had to buy all the presents in one day! Met Deb after that just to hang, went to her place and played the Wii!!! Hahahha now i got one for myself!!!! HAPPINESS!!!!!!

CHRISTMAS DAY I HAD TO SPRINGCLEAN!!!! My mom is damn power. Watched National treasure2 with the family that nite. It was interesting but not something i would watch again. Wednesday i got dragged to the office to work for my mom so it was a day that just dragged along.

Thursday was definitely more fun! Met up with Rachel at Serene centre for lunch at Mac's but that wasnt the real reason we went there. It was for Island Creamery!!!! It has the best flavours!!! I had tiger sorbet and treated her to Nutella. hahaha. it was so good. missed it while i was in melb. She came over and met Angel and we played the Wii. She totally owned me at the 100m dash. Headed to gradma's for dinner and it was laksa!!! Yumm...grandma's laksa owns. hahahah. Headed to PS to meet Deb before we watched "I Am Legend". It was a really good movie. Will Smith is a great actor. He really shines in this suspense/thriller. That night wasnt too hot and there was a slight breeze which was a pleasant surprise. It was great just catching a flick and chillin together.

wished time would have just stood still

Met Shiyou at wheellock before going for UL(UrbanLife). She had a shirt that was totally a ripoff of one of mine(HAHAHA She's so gonna kill me for writing that but ah well you only live once xD) She had to repair her mom's phone cuz the speeddial didnt work. The wait was like 20mins!!! Luckily we walked around before going back just on time. Then her mom's phone actually decided to work again... =_=" hahah oh well. UL was really good. Lots of ppl were there...almost 30 i think. Food was good and the sharing was really revalational(is that a word? oh well thats how it felt). Worship was filled with God's presence...which was something i really needed after not being able to go to church for 2weeks+.

Anyhow more updates next time. Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to all!!!
Here are 2 songs i've been listening to, The first is the chorus of "How Do I Breathe" By Mario and the 2nd is a Japanese theme song from the anime "Slam Dunk", of which i found the english lyrics.


How do I breathe
Without you here by my side
How will I see
When Your love brought me to the light
Where do I go
When your hearts where I lay my head
When your not with me
How do I breathe
How do I breathe

---------

Starting my run in the middle of town,
bright sunlight at my back,
as always, [you] tapped my shoulder
I'm so enthralled by you
- yet for reasons unknown
your arm won't be linked to mine.

Before I realized it,
you stole my gaze, and it began.
I won't let you go. I won't have any doubts.
Crazy for you.

I want to shout "I love you."
Let's try to change tomorrow.
I want to smash this freezing (moment in) time.
I want to shout "I love you."
Let's be brave and take a step forward.
I want you to receive these warm emotions.

On the noisy floor,
across from me at the crowded table,
I'm lost in your casual glance.
It feels like I'm in love with you,
yet it's like I'm being toyed with.
I can't lie to my soaring hearbeat (emotions) anymore.

When will it change,
this frustrating friendship?
I want to tell you. I want to make sure.
I take you away.

I want to shout "I love you."
Let's leave everything behind.
I want to find the words to melt your heart.
I want to shout "I love you."
I won't let you leave me tonight.
Let's end the days we don't get past just gazing at eachother
I wanna cry for you

I want to shout "I love you."
Let's try to change tomorrow.
I want to smash this freezing (moment in) time.
I want to shout "I love you."
Let's bravely take a step forward.
I want you to receive these warm emotions.
I wanna cry for you

Holiday! :
Was back in Sunny singapore for abt 12days! SO DAMN HOT.
Melbourne is now like average 12 degrees. SHIOK MAN!!! but its like cooooold.
Singapore was fun. saw my sji juniors. HAHA they were super surprised to see my hair so long. Got to watch them at AP as well! that was a blast.
MALAY MIX RICE IN SJI IS THE BEST MAN!!!!!!
Had only 40 sticks of satay this time around... (im deproving...sighhh)
Before i went back i went to the BLEDISOLE CUP at the MCG. Awwww maaaaaaaaaan... ALL BLACKS shoulda won it. but australia played well in the 2nd half. gotta give it to em. It was a really good rugby match!!!

Okay damn tired now. its like wad 3 freaking am in the morning. WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING? kk need to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep now. Holla back man!

What's It Mean To Be A Friend?

Okay, so like what does it mean to be a friend? Let's go by the dictionary meaning.
Dictionary.com says:
1. a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.

2. a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter

3. a person who is on good terms with another

Hmmm... my own:
1. a person you actually CHAT and have CONVERSATIONS with.

2. a person you spend TIME with.

So... technically if your "friend" doesn't do any of these, can't exactly call 'em your friend can you?

You know, we don't need to do this, we can just stop the facade that we're still friends.
A "hello" here and there with a half smile are all we have now huh?
Just tell me. I can take it. Say it and let's move on. Without each other's friendship, not like we have one now but anyway.
I still want to be friends, I do. But if your idea of ME being YOUR friend is that you can tell everyone else stuff but not me well i don't need that. I don't even know what to talk to you about anymore. I don't know you. I used to. Not anymore.
Just go hang out in you're own group. I have a group of people who ACTUALLY give a DAMN about me. People who ask how I'm doing, talk with me about everything and anything, SPEND TIME WITH ME. But I guess if that's too hard for you, then don't even pretend to. I don't need someone who won't spend time with me and then say "I'm cool being your friend"
Friends spend time with each other don't they? Or are you just unable to get that into your head?
SIGH...
Ahhh forget it. Go spend time with your friends. Go hang out with them.
Go...just...just... go away.

I'm sorry this post is so emo too... I just need to get that off my chest. EAP EXAM TMR!!! Ahhhhh!!!! PSYCHOLOGY AND MATH ON MONDAY!!!!! LIT ON TUES!!!!! ECONS ON FRI!!!!! Damnit this week gonna pass fast.
But i want it over quickly...
Can't wait to get home.
Miss you guys back in Sunny(read : HOT) singapore!
SATAY AGAIN!!!! HAHAHAH this time going for 50+ sticks!!!

SIAN

Damn sian today man. Dunno why.

"The Happiness of Love is a Shooting Star, The Pain of Love is the Darkness that follows..." A quote from the collection of short stories {A Thousand Years Of Good Prayers} by Li YiYun.

Ain't that too true? How many times does Pain NOT follow after Love?
It's like a faulty package deal. Unless you find the right one, its just gonna end up with someone hurt..

Chains
Chains. Metal. Cold to Touch.
Cold like what I feel from you.

Chains. Strong. Hard to break.
Strong, like my desire to hold you once again.
Unbreakable, my resolve to be with you.

Chains. Restrictive. Holding me back.
The gap you've created between us,
why won't you let me come near?

Chains. Protective. Dare I say never again?
Wrapped my heart in Chains, keeping it from Pain.
You have the Key, will you come set me Free?

I don't know why i feel the way i feel. I know I still miss her. I miss holding her hand, hugging her tight, stroking her cheek with the back of my hand, running my fingers through her hair, kissing her goodnight... I know, but I don't know why I feel the way I feel. I can't describe how I feel...

Lord, please just take away the feelings I have. They're just too painful to bear... I need your love now Jesus, now more than ever...

I just wanna go home. I don't want to do my exams. I don't wanna study anymore, I just want to be at home. I miss my family, my friends, my dog...sigh...
