Buds
Friends help clean you up, Buddies cake you in the face!
You Are Beer!
You don't need to get totally wasted when you hit the bars. More of a social drinker, you just like to have fun with your friends. And as long as the beer keeps flowing, you're a happy camper. But don't mix things up: "Beer Before Liquor, Never Been Sicker!"

Go On Girl

Aqua Timez - Sen no Yoru wo Koete (Overcoming the Thousand Nights)


I want you to love me, but I dont think you will."
I wander around as I repeat this to myself
It's the only answer I have, even if I'm scared of getting hurt.
I'll say "I love you" to the one I love

Do you love me or not?
I don't care what the answer is, I just need to know!
No matter how badly I desire to be with you
There are many unchangeable things in this world
and my love for you
can't be stopped by anyone

As 1000 nights pass, I long to tell you
I have to let you know
"I want you to love me, but I don't think you will."
I wander around as I repeat this to myself
It's the only answer I have, even if I'm scared of getting hurt.
I'll say "I love you" to the one I love
Putting these feelings into words is so scary
but I'll say "I love you" to the one I love

In this broad world,
I can’t express the joy of encountering you with words
So we smile, sing about the vividly passing autumn in do-re-mi
Turn our backs on winter,
wait for the sunlight streaming through trees in spring
And become reborn anew,
so that we can protect someone

As I looked at the road I'd traveled and the path ahead,
my eyes were filled with cowardice
I wanted to look into your eyes, but was afraid I wouldn't be honest
I didn't want to know that you didn't love me
and live the rest of my days alone
That day, I kept on loving you without getting hurt

As 1000 nights pass, I long to tell you
I have to let you know
"I want you to love me, but I don't think you will."
I wander around as I repeat this to myself
It's the only answer I have, even if I'm scared of getting hurt.
I'll say "I love you" to the one I love
Even if my feelings aren't returned, I can say "I love you" to the one I love
And that's the most beautiful thing in the world

BAAD "Kimi ga Suki da to Sakebitai; I Want to Shout "I Love You"


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 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

3 weeks more

In exactly 3 weeks i'll have been in the army for 3 days.

Its coming so fast, it seems just yesterday that it was 3 months away.

I can't believe i'm going to be in the army. It's so surreal. Most of my friends are in JC or poly and so still have at least a year before they go in. I've heard so many different things about it.

It's hell
It's great
Worse 2 years
Best 2 years
Interesting
Waste of time


Yea i've pretty much heard everything but i have no idea what its gonna be like. I guess its something you have to experience for yourself to truly understand.

Looking back, I've come a pretty long way from being in primary 1H in HPPS.
I've changed school twice, classes 6 times and country once.
I've met a ton of ppl while I was at it too, great friends, irritating idiots and just plain annoying punks, but hey, the good with the bad huh? My path to where I am really was God directed. Without going into the details too much I realized how different things would be had I decided differently on some choices such as secondary school as well as my decision to go to Trinity. I may not have enjoyed the initial stages of my new schs but eventually I grew to love the place i had been placed in and the ppl that i had met.

Where I go from here? Well that's not entirely up to me is it?
Peace man
-------


There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street,
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet,
We were both 18, and it felt so right,
Sleeping all day, staying up all night,
Staying up all night.
----- Yellowcard "Ocean Avenue"

So maybe there’s not a lot to do
Or maybe I’m just making myself confused
Or maybe I’ve got nothing to lose
But if I get out of line,
Just tell me you’re mine,
And how I’m better with you
----- Five Times August "Better With You"

As I looked at the road I'd traveled and the path ahead,
my eyes were filled with cowardice
I wanted to look into your eyes, but was afraid I wouldn't be honest
I didn't want to know that you didn't love me
and live the rest of my days alone
That day, I kept on loving you without getting hurt

How Time Flies

Its been a year since I first set foot on the Trinity Campus in Melbourne...

I still remember how reluctant I was to leave Sg to go for the Foundations course, leaving family and friends behind. Funny how it was only cuz Huai heard I was thinking of going and he persuaded his parents to let him go that I decided it wldnt be too bad specially cuz my bud wld be rooming with me. Seriously having that bugger as a roomie for a year really makes it an interesting one xD

So many things happened during that 8.5 months(not counting the holidays); orientation camp at the grampians which had a spectacular view of the stars at night; the big noise-where many of us made a fool of ourselves; drama exams which most of us busted our asses off to practice and make perfect and not to forget the prom which was weirdly held at the Melb Aquarium.

Those were just some of the bigger events. There was the weekly events like HOI Lecture with Tamar(the squeakiest lecturer EVER); Graham's econs/nagging sessions; Danny's crazy antics during drama and Maureen's insanely entertaining Psychology lessons.

The friends I have made are ones that I will cherish for life.

Poodle (HAHA xDDD):
Thank you for being someone I can always confide in. You're such a great listener, you're so easy to talk to I can tell you anything and you give me good advice with care, for that I thank you. Though I can't rmb how we started talking I'm really glad to call you my close friend. All those nights we spent just hanging out and chatting are times I cherish.

That night was our longest Goodbye, but it's merely farewell for now.

Don't forget that I'm always here for you alright?

Chubbs (LOL I'm so getting killed for this):
Yo man, it was an awesome year huh? Lots of crazy experiences. I'm quite happy that you were my roomie. It made adjusting to Melb a whole lot easier having someone I've known for a pretty long time. Those late nights when we talked abt girls and well life were truly enjoyable, even though it made waking up for lectures the next day a TORTURE xP

We ride together, We die together, Bad Boys for Life

Spermy (Another one...gotta become a cat with 9 lives xP):
It was really fun getting to know you. What with your bitch-I-ain't-taking-shit-from-you attitude xP and your straightforwardness. There's no two ways about anything with you! Do you rmb how we started talkin? I do and thats because its one of the weirdest ways i got to know someone. Outside Eeep-eeep's room while she was on the phone? yea that was an interesting conversation which started a great friendship.

Eeep-eeep (Die liao... EVERYONE'S gonna be after my punkass... OH WELL xDDDD):
Thank you for being someone whom I could talk to whenever and where ever no matter about what. I can always count on you to encourage me in my walk with God. My most memorable conversation with you is probably that night after you had dinner with... phaikwah? Yea i think so. We went to Carlton Gardens to sit while we waited for Spermy. That conversation well... It was special to me anyway. It changed my mind about certain things and I think everything worked out from there. I'm glad to have met you and gotten to know you over last year. May our friendship grow from strength to strength! I'll always be there when you need me.

If only some things never change

Looking back I do not regret one bit my final decision to head to Melb. The course, though short was challenging and pushed me to work harder than I've ever worked before but hey, it pays off. 86% and Faculty of Arts man! Praise God for that =)
Planetshakers has been an eye opener for me. I've never felt so close with a cell-group ever before. I really miss it now that I'm back in Sg. Praying God sends me to the Church He has called me to be soon.

In this broad world,
I can’t express the joy of encountering you with words
So we smile, sing about the vividly passing autumn in do-re-mi
Turn our backs on winter,
wait for the sunlight streaming through trees in spring
And become reborn anew,
so that we can protect someone

On the path we came from and our destination,
when we looked back, I’d always have timid eyes
I want to face you, but I can’t be honest
I, who repeated days of not being able to straightforwardly love my partner
And hated being alone on that day
Seemed to love people while unwounded

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
