achieving Nirvana... at Low's Peak...

just came down from the mountain... and it was a piece of cake... cept for the blisters... caused by the shoe... a shoe which cost RM4... freakin cheap.. but good to go up hill... however down was the other problem. on the whole it was awesome... wait till i post up the pics. man i tell... ont he way up the hostel in car... all i could think about was that no good piece of mother f*cker... (i'm refering to the boy's father)... he's the real shit behind all this complications. i've never met such a worthless dumb shitty mother f*cker... all his f*ckin' bullshit alll flying around aimlessly... can't get a grip on what the f*ck he was saying... i've seen and met alot of shitty adults.. but this one's a f*ckin' winner... redundancy shit i tell you. you know... this all confirms it all on the 3 people i hate most... so called "christians", adults... and the worse of it all "adult christians"... dont' pay no respect to students like me... the conversation on the phone is still ringing in my head... mother f*cker insulted bout me going to be an architect... saying i'm in the wrong... im'ma cheating on his f*ckin' money.. worst yet.. tell me about God... all you shitty GT f*ckers... using God to defend yourselves... F*ck you!! f*ckin' hippocrites...
mother f*cker's first excuse... he didnt know it was a shared room... second excuse, it's all dr sumi's fault... third excuse, what if my son cant get along... fourth excuse, heard your area is a red light district area, ... then the f*cker blabs on how f*ckin rich he is... so redundant... if you're so f*ckin rich.. then why not just pay me the freakin money. and i insulted him with the word cheat... at that time, it slipped out of my mouth... but now... i f*ckin' mean it!! honorable man my f*ckin ass... calling me a rip off... im calculating the bastard 6 months minimum and he says im playing with his cash... im'ma tell you, you son of a b*tch... u messed up my whole scheme... im gonna f*ck up your son... telling me i aint got no blessings from God... and i cant make it as an architect... you puk*mak b*tch. because of your f*ckin son... i turn down an offer to another one bedroom apartment... work the shit (including the people who help me) out finding a place for your f*ckin wussy spineless son... his balls all chopped off by you eh? mother f*cker... wasted all my overseas call for you... paid you're f*ckin share... and now you want to run away... aint got nothing to lose eh? kiss my ass... you dick head... aint got no brain... only talk shit and God in GT... f*ck GT... i got away once... and came back... idiot i am... now i know why i stop going there... coz theres just too much pricks and hippocrites... using God's name for every f*ckin reason... im stickin the finger at you all... and all the other christian organizations... (sorry im turning this into a larger contexts...) but GT is really begining to suck.

man... i was gonna talk about my Mt. Trip... end up talking about this... what a waste of my effort... i am so freakin' tired...

Screwed...

this morning... the first thought in my head was that now im really totally screwed!! never been so pissed in the early mornings... i figured GT people never takes me seriously eh... i rushed to settle this accomodation because of a boy... along the way in finding tenants i ended up promising 2 more other folks to get an accomodation... then i had to try my best to convince the two tenants to stay with me... all because i promised a boy that i'll make sure of his accomodation. i took nearly 2 months trying to get accomodation... all because i promised all three including that boy that i'll get the place. with lots of help... finally managed to get a place... paid for the boys share... and thought all is settled... managed to get a pretty big place... so the boy can have ample space to run around... way below his budget.
and after everything has settled down... finally he sends his dad to say he's sorry but he has to back off from this... due to some stupid reason... "i must screw you... thanks but no thanks... eat your own shit... haha". i cant afford to pay that rent... how am i gonna find another person to share a room... i cant just find any tom, dick or harry... AUD740 per month?!?!? thats around 2100 ringgit per month... how the heck can i afford that?!?!?!
sorry but i have to say this... for the moment... GT people only know how to talk SHIT... im too lazy to further elaborate on hwat i meant... but im starting to learn a very valueble lesson...
ANYWAY, other news.... my industrial trainning period had just ended... it had been a great 7 weeks... (still cant help thinking about how screwed i am right now...)

a rose is a mose... coz it rhymes with NOSE(y)...

what the heck is a "Boo"... apparently its the newest slang in the music industry/ whatever... a boo? sounds like the word Boo! when u scare someone... more like a ghost... then as well to mean it might mean a bruise or cut... like you et a boo- boo when you fall down and scraped your knee or somehting... anyway... so if it does really represent either... then thats pretty funny... go figure
hahha... managed to get hold of another victim's personal belonging... interesting i should say... kekek...

Farewell... to 3 years of hardship and fun... archi for life!

sigh... the long day/ weekend is finally over... i tell you, working in an archi firm can be pretty stressful... especially when you have to try and please 2 different bosses out from the same project having different ideas and requirements... ugh... but it's still fun.
been trying to upload my pictures from my first project i did here for my industrial training... alas.. the faultiness of dial-ups... just can't wait for broadband to arrive... with fingers crossed... it might be soon. i can say that i'm pretty fortunate to be doing these sort of things during industrial training... lots of designing work... and no draughting and office boy errands for me...
my first project was this high class housing development, set in the lovely small island off the sabah shores... pretty cool eh? i think the client kindda goes with my idea... hopefully it be built and be just what i wanted... then again theres lots of alteration to be done by the seniors... atleast hopefully the aesthetic is there... then it be living proof for my future reference.
currently i've been assign to this new project... its a commercial project set right in between Sabah's currently biggest supermarket... its sort of a commercial/ office building... pretty cool.. but very tight... so hard to squeeze everything into one plot of land... adding to the by-laws we need to follow... for a 1.2 acre land.. they want futsal courts... cineplexes... a food court... retail areas... and offices... not to mention... car parks (the most irritating part in designs..), i had trouble during the first project... carparks as well... everything worked pretty okay... till carparks became a hassle... especially if it where to be incorporated into the building as well... ugh! why dont people jsut walk... Oops... that goes for me too... hehe.

anyway... i think i better go hit the showers... and hit the sack!!

200...5

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2 0 0 ... 5!!! awesome dude!! im finally a year wiser... and not a single grey hair to be seen... amazing!!

MIA from each other experiences... etc. and to my surprise... people in the group has changed tremendously... Ben... so... different... okay ladys... he's up for grabs... hottest bachelor around... 21 years old... height 6'10"... well built... nicely tanned... cool personality... mom owns a superb chicken marinate sauce for BBQ... with a bonus... sexy ass... haha... seriously!

Frail and Feeble...

2 words... Eminem Sucks! he's newest song... or rap is really appaling... running out of steam and motivation i should say. come on bugger... put a sock in it.
anyway, currently taking up a job at an architecture firm. interesting... yet scary. my current boss has given a huge task of designing a housing development for the international patrons down at Labuan... big responsibilty for a lil fry like me... nonetheless... its my opportunity for recognition in the archi scene.
i realized that my new maid... aint good at doing the laundry... clothes kindda stink... not to mention... i realized the same under her arms... ugh... my jeans really smells.

think i better continuethis later... i wanna go eat!!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white".

i wanna go shopping...

Moses supposes his toeses are Roses,
But Moses supposes Erroneously,
For Moses he knowses his toeses arent roses,
As Moses supposes his toeses to be!
As Moses supposes his toeses to be!
A Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose is
A rose is for Moses as potent as toeses
Couldn't be a lily or a daphi daphi dilli
It's gotta be a rose cuz it rhymes with mose!

First... but no the last...

finally... my first and most hate paper has ended!! ridiculous yet so straight forward... anyway, one down 2 to go!!! woopidoo!!

hmmm... there was a discussion on the table about the creation of a micro genius... ahhh still clearly can remember that at the back of my head. my first micro genius!! Dad brought it home one day... and boy we were so excited!! from that instant we were glued tight unto the screen... my first game!! chip and dale!! awesome...

when that was invented... everyone was so crazy about it... then there was nintendo... longer cassettes... bigger machine... and the joysticks all had simple buttons like A and B... then Sega came along... and then the C button was added in. took me awhile to get use to that extra button... C... pretty useful it should seem. then the ultimate game box came along... play station!! and boy was i confused on the buttons... no more A, B, Cs.... instead there were symbols of a square, triangle, circle... not only that! there was X and Ys!! and now my index finger had of great use for me!! ... years later... nothing improved... until the X-Box arrived... and what the Heck is that?!?!!?! geewizz...

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he' got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

But there's one thing I know
The blues he sends to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Crying's not for me
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

pancakes... and coffee...

wow... hello!! check out my photo album!! more pictures!!
was remembering one of my discussion/ debate on the word Pantat... what does it really mean... apparently in Msia it is a way to describe a female organ... but however in indonesia it means ass... and since i was young i always thought it would be of the latter... until this year... when one of my msian friend told me that it meant of the formal... however my indonesian friend clarified that it was of the latter... and so... hence i am confused. bother.
anyway... i need to hurry off now... need to clean the stove... hehe...

here's joke...
there was this husband who hated his wife's cat, and wanted to get rid of it...
the next day he took the cat 10 blocks away, and drop the cat and went back...
as he reached home... he saw the lil' critter strolling around...
the next day... he dropped it 40 blocks away...
when he reached home again.. there the cat was... home sweet home.
and so finally he decided... the next day he took the car round the corner
over the river... under the bridge... way pass the hills... cross... the borders...
and finally when thats done... he realised that he didnt know his way back.
so he called home to his wife... and said to his wife: "pass the phone to the lel' bastard... I'm lost!!"
heheh... funny? no?... must be the headache... definitely...

a real hot sunny weather...

2 weeks from now and its DOOMS-DAY!! final submissions for Studio as well as Construction. Presentation went pretty okay... pleased with myself actually- one conclusion: simple building, simple structure, less on the complications. hahah...

Rainbow... (trout)... Connection

why are there so many songs about fishes
and whats on the other side
fishes are (not) vicious, but only delicious
fishes cant close their eyes
so we've been told, that some choose to eat it
i know they won't regret it, wait and see
someday we'll find it, trout connections
the cookers, the eaters, and me...

who said that every fish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star
someone caught of that, and someone grilled it
look whats it done so far
whats so amazing that keeps us star gazing
of all the dishes we can make
someday we'll find it, trout connections
the cookers, the eaters, and me...

all of us under its spell
and we'd probably know that its yummy...

have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices
i've heard them calling my name
is this the sweet sound that calls the young fishermen
i know its one and the same
i've smelled it too many times to ignore it
it's something im supposed to eat
someday we'll find it, trout connections
the cookers, the eaters, and me...

le Corbusier...

just finished my modern B lecture... today... was modern B day. tutorial was okay... the discussion was pretty interesting, yet very boring in a sense of its topics. well, i realised that i have really very different view of le corb. although i do favour in his architecture... but my views of his intentions was rather... less humane. was contemplating a couple of times, whether i should had voice out my oppinions... which were very crude and individualistic. they were all discussing on le corb's design intentions, trying to be concern for the public, yet his solutions was still very naive. mine however, totally contradicts to it. being the fact that he was totally individual in his intentions... basically he just cut and pasted all his favourite ideas and forms into his buildings... having his own identity and style to be known in the world, nothing to do with the context and stakeholders. unlike his earlier works... for the international style... of very duplicatic design styles.
anyway, the lecture was pretty interesting, discussing on the later works/ second half of le corb's and wrights' design ideas. yea... it was a pity though, the lecturer touched very little on one of my all time favourite le corb buildings... the Carpenter Centre for the visual arts, at harvard university. she had very little time to spare with... and it was actually the last slide. sigh... its a building that has been talked about very little in lectures and books. probably of its less significant impact it lied into le corbs design... unlike the Chandigrah, Ronchamp, Villa Savoye... etc.
Yeap.

Le Corbusier 1963
The Carpenter Center is Le Corbusier's only building in North America, and one of the last to be completed during his lifetime. Its wonderful collection of concrete forms bring together many of the design principles and devices from Le Corbusier's earlier works: the ondulatoires (windows above left) from La Tourette; the brises soleils (below) originally from the Marseille unité d'habitation but angled later in Chandigarh (but here with glass for the Massachusetts climate); and the original Five Points from the 1920s 'accentuated in a new way: as if the Villa Savoye had been exploded inside out, with ramp and curved partitions extending into the environment.' The ramp and architectural promenade is particularly strong at the Carpenter Center.
'At the heart is a cubic volume from which curved studios pull away from one another on the diagonal. The whole is cut through by an S-shaped ramp which rises from one street and descends towards the other... The layers and levels swing out and back from the grid of concrete pilotis wihtin, making the most of cantilevering to create interpenetrations of exterior and interior, as well as a sequence of spatial events linked by the promenade architecturale of the ramp.'
William J.R. Curtis in Le Corbusier: Ideas and Forms

double jeopardy...

what do you do when you have a "splinter" in your team? nothing...
more specifically, what if you have a team member that has problems with authority, and wants to take over the team leadership? answer: you give him the responsibilty...
if he eagers to be the boss, and pays no respect to the supposed leader... then give it to him. (in a worldly context, you fire the person, as in get rid of him)
anyway... as you all should know by now, this situation is definitely related to my current scenario... but on the other hand, i might be wrong. however, i usually am not wrong on this... plus he's a typical kiasu singaporean, top school snobbish... smart ass, oh so talented bloody bastard prick! but theres nothing i can do about it... sorry for my rude behavior, but its a blog... i can type and say however i want to express my feelings on.

other events: haha... i won my last tennis match! my team won! i played 2 matches... lost one in a tie break 6-7(6-8), and won one 6-0! what a way to break my losing streak. this weeks match... BRING IT ON!!
the musical went pretty smoothly... the props and stage set was pretty nifty. yea.. proud of the whole team... and their committed contributions. the performance was okay... the singing was the turn off... but overall it was good. a very cliche sort of musical/ drama.
yea... anyway! time to get back to work...

5KGs... and an Ab.

my housemate bought an iPod! that is so so cool... really cool device. man! i want i want!!
anyway... finally managed to upload my construction assignment to the web. we are asked to submit our work into the virtual gallery... so IT savvy eh? i think so too... my CT lecturer really know how to make full use of the web.
yeap... hehe well since i have it now, i might as well upload this picture of my design studio's first assignment... which is a codification done and created by me. wonder if you remembered on my previous blog entry where i told about my assigment and the codification that i whipped up with it.
whoa im dead full here... ugh!!
haha.. i weighed myself today... and to my surprise... i lost 5 kilos... that;s really strange... with the sort of eating habit im having... i should be gaining weight!
haha....

oh wait... i cant upload the picture. apparently i need to sign up with this online photo thingy. sorry folks!

A Washout...

Its the start of the long but short weekend... fridays...
About yesterday's game, we declared it a wash out due to the heavy rain pouring from the sky. it's such a pity... i was all up for it, ready to whack someones ass!! my hands are just fidgeting in excitement... melbourne weather... so unpredictable. but anyway, Next week... i better be ready for them.
oh geez... i forgot to call Sean yesterday... my time schedule was sort of screwed when my game was postponed.
there was a new exhibition being displayed at the Archi building's atrium... its the Colorbond Steel student bienniel... whatever... it's one of the most prestigious design competition held for students... and was i was in awe staring at the works... magnificent graphics. it was an exhibition of the finalist from all different unis around aussie, great and small... UNSW, QUT, RMIT... etc. yea... it was just truly inspiring.
to avoid letting the weekend just fly by... i'll shall sing you all a song...

Hello...

hello everyone!!
yet again i have neglected the existence of my blog and occupied myself with "other" things...
anyway! im going off to uni in a couple of minutes. i have a tennis match today at 1900 hours. and this time i feel much more prepared compared to last week's match. i went for "training" yesterday evening after classes, and man it was a vigourous one. my legs were really sore after the whole thing. yea... i think last week's match... i hardly/ or never really broke a sweat... it was an easy going match... hmmm today i shall be more competitive!! (i could elaborate further on my match last week, however... am too lazy!) *Yawn*

yeap! been sort of pretty occupied with things other than BGR... however things will be more toned down by the end of next week i think. and i should dedicate myself more into my Design work... lacking inspiration lately... hehe... [pondering why...]

anyway! my maid's gone of to be married to some illegal immigrant... it was a sudden/ secretive notion that no one had expected. nonetheless, my family managed to get a new one. yet to know on the details... but all i know is... she's a real sleeper... and when i mean sleeper... i mean SLEEPER... like a log. heard she can sleep through a whole racket of banging and shouting...etc. PIG PIG PIG!! and i thought i was a real pig... imagine her! they had to shake her... literally shook her till she peels her eyes... i suspect that she's on weeds. cant wait to meet her... thats if she doesnt get fired by the time i get home.

anyway, im off to uni now! wish me luck on my match... have to call Sean after the game... ugh!

Shades of grey...

i never managed to get around in replying mails... havent found a time to really sit down to write decent reasonably long mails. so just settle for the blog.
just had brunch with my cell leader... i coughed alot. but managed to get hold of some anti-biotic pills... this sore throat of mine is getting really irritating. *cough*
i've created this funky new art piece for todays presentation later... its a page of different shades of grey and sizes of circles all scattered around filling up the page... then in the middle is a lil small circle right on top of an elipse. its supposed to depict of one real/ original object- which is the white (white= purity) circle, having a black elipse to strengthen the point of its 3-D mass... acting as a shadow. as the black and white emerges together... it creates new forms of circles being grey and of different exaggerated sizes... yea... and the rest... go figure. i could upload the picture.. but unfortunately am in uni now... haha, i might do it later.
yea... and today i've got a match going on in the evening... but sadly... i wont be able to make it. my captain managed to get a replacement for my absense this week. next week... i'll be back!

ugh... continue this later.. something came up.

Nonsense... just like buddy the dog.

Another slack weekend went by... its just hard to get out of bed, when you're in the zone, you're just in the zone. but then again... it wasnt all that unproductive... the night activities we're slightly more active in a leisureble manner.
Hi Mother and Father... welcome to the world of blogging... enjoy.
ugh... my throat's really hurting at the moment... still feeling abit heaty from the previous' night lamb chop dinner. its tiring... of always having to contemplate if i have to either swallow my saliva or just spit it out. i mean... swallowing it just makes things painful... and incovenience is usually the case when i intend to spit.i still don't know whats so disgusting of spitting into the rubbish bins... its a Rubbish bin anyway, flammy salivas aint really useful fluids to be sinked through my throat.
*oh... Alvina... will get back to your mail... ASAP... juicy details?! hehe...*
it's interesting that my world is getting more and more evolve around med students... sunday, i had dinner with JM and her bunch of senior med friends. and to think... i really dont fit in.. probably being the fact that i'm new... and being seated in a squarish table... its hard to socialize within the corners. and med people are just med people... they're med? making no-sense here... well theres always this mentality of med students usually are bred in rich well to do families... and with the so called genius brains they possesed... they are set apart from the world. and ahaha... being up there... its hard to look down... but us being down there i guess its easy for us to look up and underneath them... all the more easier and transparent if they are wearing skirts. hehe...
my throat is really painful... ouch!
and did you all know that today is singapore's national day? hehe... best time to whip a bomb down there... hehe. kidding kidding... we malaysians love our neighbours... ;-)

How much is that doggie in the window... woof woof!!

there goes another week of classes... ended with just a wink. it all happened so fast... i had yet been able to digest it all. the semester is still at its foot... and work has yet to pile up.
still thinking and still trying to grasp the fact of Jojo's departure... its sad i still think to have it dead, without me being able to witness the event with my very own eyes. i still can remember the time when snowball left us. she'd been body stiff for the pass weeks... and there wasnt much the vet could do 'cept await its death. she was lied outside the front over newspapers... the only signs of her being still alive is her panting and eye blinks. then one sunday... things felt abit weird, and i went out to check up on her. her eyes were still wide open... but no signs of breathing.. and with her tounge dangling out like that... its definitely a gesture of resting in peace. yea... scary it was. and during then, jojo was still very much spunky and lively. to think years later... sudden death. nobody see it coming i think. how tragic.
*serene, you wept tears eh... i was in total blankness. it was like sudden white... best i fill my mind with other things to occupy the empty thought in my head. i was keen on seeing her too when i get back.*
Anyway, Modern architecture... pretty interesting. being less subjective as previous semester's Theories... i'm assuming that i would have more fun in this... rediscovering the precedents and our very forefathers of modernism. someone had told me... lots of architects are gays... funny.. when did that happen along the historical lines of architects as being weirdos and playboys. *i'm talking nonsense here...*
those of you whom i have yet to reply the mails... in due time... in due time.
i miss Jojo... intended to blog down all the things me and Jo used to do... especially when my sister was out of sight... keke.but am too lazy...

All quiet down the belly front...

its been really a long while since i've logged on into my blog. but anyways... im back. actually just waiting for my turn to use the bathroom... yea, 5 people using one bathroom. but its cool... atleast its not 10!!
i'm really dead full right now... just had dinner in the city at this new restaurant... i wasnt full of the dinner... but it was desert! puddings!! yum... err actually... its ugh ugh right now. i should try and control my self from these food indulgences. its bad for my body.. especially now when competitions are starting this week. oh help me god! im in deep trouble... competition's in less than 3 days... and i have not had practice with my teammates at all!!
oh dear, people... bad news... my dog died. well technically its my sister's... but its still partially my dog... her name is Jojo. she's dead... the last time i heard was that she went for some serious operation on her jaw... and i tot she'd be all better after that... apparently not. im thinking right now of the book "the curious incident of the dog in the night"... yes! when i get back... i have to get down to the bottom of this mystery of who killed Jojo. this is really sad... i was really sort of excited of seeing my dogs when i get back. now its only Buddy... the dog who pees at every second. hmmm... jojo.... she was so young... well, not really... but still half the age when snow ball died. this is really tragic... i've nothing more to say... im depress... i shall go and take my bath right now... *sob*

Back to school...

finally the holidays has ended... well, it was great while it lasted. now its back to projects and assignments, and a newly addition of final exams. horrible! other than that, everything is back to normal i guess.
dissapointed though, couldnt manage to do Roman Art & Architecture. apparently it isnt a subject offered this semester. weird. nevertheless, modern architecture is fine with me. except i dislike having to sit for a final exam paper. its an elective subject, should be a sub that will help boost our grades easily. haha, cant wait till we get to the Le Corbusier topic, that should be interesting... i like le corb ( the father of modern architecture)... tough he's a male chauvenist as well as a pervert... he's a genius in so many other ways in architecture.
was at July Camp during the last weekend of the holidays... overall it was... ummm... refreshing. yeap. cell lead during the camp, but they didnt really require much of my attention... all quite dependable. usually camps for me is a time to try get in touch with God as well as a reflection period to back track how my life has been progressing and etc. it can be really tiring to think about things (ugly things), but it once all is settled and left behind... its all worthwhile. glad i had company this time around to share the sort of bitter memory moments... ;-)
here's a verse i have to share...

Psalm 119
I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake me.
I delight in your decrees; i will not neglect your word.
Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors.
I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free
How i long for your percepts! Preserve my life in your righteousness.
I lift up my hands to your commands, which i love, and i meditate on your decrees.
This has been my practice: i obey your precepts.
The earth is filled with your love, O Lord; teach me your decrees.
The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver & gold.
May my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that i may not be put to shame.
Preserve my life according to your love, and i will obey the statutes of your mouth.
To all perfection i see a limit; but your commands are boundless.
I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore i hate every wrong path.
My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end.
My flesh trembles in fear of you; i stand in awe of your laws.
And because i consider all your precepts right, i hate every wrong path.
Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed.
Your statutes arew forever right; give me understanding that i may live.
Long ago i learned from your statutes that you establised them to last forever.
All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.
I obey your precepts and your statutes, for all my ways are known to you.
I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for i have not forgotten your commands.

Dirty Dancing...

feeling really remorse for my apartment, its like a lil boy who hasnt taken his bathe for weeks. i still cannot understand why people can be so unhygenic. they can just let oil and dirt lie around the house for days and weeks. leaving hair lying all over in the toilet. rubbish piling up till theres no room in the kitchen to move around. dishes washed like it wasnt washed at all... pots and pans as black as charcoal. not to mention so so lazy to get cutlerries and plates from cabinets. milk bottles just left stacking up, until you would think we're exhibiting some funky art pieces around the house... well folks... thats art for you. i have the least things being occupied in the kitchen and toilet... yet... sigh. and we're renting out the other room... its quite embarassing for them to see the condition of the apartment... i think the only people we would attract to want to live here would be slobs or maybe the blind.
anyway, was fooling around learning how to dance last night... just some basic steps. its funny... all this while i thought that dancing was not a common activity that people would do or know how to do in asian countries. however, i think i'm really missing alot then. then again... dancing isnt really an interest i would take the initiative to learn. but it's rather fun.i remember one prom that i went... but the thought of dancing never occured in my mind in going for proms then. i thought the activities would be to meet friends and eat the whole night, oh with the occasional photo takings. but dancing... hmmm... naw!
ANYWAY!
meeting later regarding about july camp in the evening at uni... and tomorrow i have to go to my faculty to register my subjects. more or less decided to take up Roman Art & Architecture as my elective subject. the art of hellenic plagiarism... uncreative romans.  

S L A C K . . .

the holidays are almost over... and it wasnt really a supposed productive holiday. haha... one word... SLACK.
however... the july camp would be a grand finale to end the holidays. partially excited and reluctant about the event. wonder what sort of cell members i'll be designated to. oh how exciting!!
well, the past few days have been really slacky days for me... mainly roaming around the four walls of my apartment. contemplating on doing activities... sadly the body was not able to respond to the minds desire. the nights were slightly more proactive... i mean did have an excuse to get out of the house, though my route destination was not really that far. hmmm... this is so unhealthy. dangerous i should say... such a procrastinator. its like the only way that would get me off my feet and start being proactive is to tie a rod behind my back that dangles towards my face with a banana tied with a string. like what Robin Williams would say, the only way things can be done is when there is a big hershey bar waiting at the end of the finishing line... time management would not be such a problem... instead things probably be done way ahead of schedule.

anyway... that was then. today i played tennis with my new racquet... the whole afternoon was occupied on the court. oopss... got my butt kicked accidently. shucks! rematch!! this bites... now i'll have to try my best of getting use to using the new racquet... i intend to complain and justify my reasons of losing in this blog entry... but then... never mind. theres always a 101 reasons for everything that went wrong... and one definite reason if all is good.
JM is on the way home now, yippie!... im hungry... i haven't eaten today. skipped breakfast... and was busy hitting balls during lunch time. ugh...
tomorrow... meeting of cell leaders for the camp at uni. at some building that i have no what-so-ever clue of its whereabouts... i think i have a few errands to do tomorrow. but the problem is im not so sure of what.
its my final week before the semester begins.... partially eager, and the other half... ummm lazy.

yea... serene... will contact ya.. soon... someday... one day.... hehe. cheers!

a WEE bit irritated...

have i mention that i have a special friend staying with us for the past couple of weeks? well... he's still here, and we shall call him Bian. Bian is a very special boy... with really small eyes... its practically just a line across below his eye brows. and he's got really strong pheromones... but it doesnt really help attract the opposite sex.
Anyway, not to be mean... but i am a lil annoyed. i think Bian has a problem with the loo. he has a very bad dick eye coordination when it comes to pissing into the bowl. every morning since the day he arrived, when i go for my morning wee... there is always a spot of urine on the floor, and the worse part is that he never cleans it up. i can assure that it is urine coz... u dont need to do a PH test to identify yellow (and occasionally slight red) water is urine water. it might had been orange juice... but then again, who on earth drinks OJs in the W.C??
Every morning when i see that.. i get pretty worked up... but cant express how i feel coz i am supposed to be nice to him. i feel like slapping him on the head... telling him to "aim! kiddo... AIM!!"... or stuck up 2 toothpicks up his eye lids... give him a better surface view of the bowl. However, i have to give credit to him for putting up the toilet seat... coz if he didnt. it be worse!! yellow strands of urine water around the toilet seat... pity the gals having to sit on top of that. yea.. maybe he should do his wee, female style... it be easier and convenient for him, and save our trouble for cleaning up after him.
i mean... he's been staying here for like almost 3 weeks... for free, doesnt need to do the house chores and cook... etc. and all we ask from him is a simple request to just pee it right. Geez...
i'm already having trouble cleaning the gals hair scattered around the toilet... and now urine?! you cant vacuum urine water with a vacuum cleaner... eh?
you know.. now im thinking... maybe he doesnt have a penis. i mean... how can anyone be that terrible at aiming... every morning! its not like he closes his eyes while peeing... i see him rubbing his eyes every morning... opening up his eye lids for about 5 minutes (must be shut really tightly). HHhhhmmmM... i must get down to the bottom of this.
i could actually go on and on complaining about this... but i shant lower my standards being whiners.

Return of the King... thats me!!

im back!!!!!!! bet all you peeps miss me... right you did!! anyway... was on a week at Adelaide... and it was freakin cold!! i mean the house i stayed was colder than it was on the outside. but i shall not complain... coz the hospitality services was great... eh? Adelaide was ummm very different from Melbourne. if spiderman was in Adelaide... he would probably be walking instead of swinging... coz the buildings aint tall enough to do so... hehe. Okay.. okay! sorry ju... i just couldnt help myself mocking. Adelaide was fun... i mean they have cinemas... the seats were so much better than the ones in melbourne... and they were screening Spiderman.. shows that they are quite up to track with melbourne. Spiderman was Super duper cool!! whoa... awesome!! magnificent!! wild!! i cant wait till part 3 comes out!! but please oh please... take Kirsten Dunst away!! she's ugly!! they should cast someone like Julia Stiles... now thats class. there's a lady with lots of style, charisma... not to mention pretty, and cool with a "dont-mess-with-me-dude-im-julia" vibe. pity peter parker... good thing she aint ugly in the comics...
yea... well... the most exciting activities during the trip was the food... eat n eat n eat. till i was dead full... i ate...Extra Large Beef Noodles, a Pathetic platter of Lasagna, German Sausages, Porterhouse Steak, Pancakes, Banana Sandwiches, Pie Floater (meat pie in green pea soup), KFC, Jap Mix rice, a huge glass of milk shake, Oysters, Cold Rock Ice Cream (ice cream mixed with Marshmallows & Maltesers), and Korean BBQ Buffet (Yum!). we did other activities as well, like going up to mount Lofty... Handolf (a german settlement), Rundell Mall (the most happening street in the city), and the Largest shopping mall in Adelaide!! Marion !! hahahaha... where i bought my new Babolat racquet!! oh.. i cant wait to play tennis... and start whopping some ass.
the Adelaide trip was overall... very relaxing and slack. i enjoyed myself there... with the company... though it got awkward at times being a tall lamp post. we had so much fun didnt we... eh? haha... talking crap... telling senseless illogical lame jokes... elephant walks... swaying with our shadows... and just chilling... not to mention our blur dont-know-what-to-do-next agendas... and of course our pre-planning for our Banana Cafe/Bar/Restaurant whatever, dont throw away the menu!! However!! the most bit that i dislike about the trip was the bus rides from Melb to adelaide and vice versa... it was freakin long!! 10 hours on the bus!! it was awful... well going there wasnt so bad... had company to talk with... but the trip back was... dreadful. plus, peeing in the bus toilet was impossible... aiming was hard with all the shaking and bumpy movements. probably i was a lil anxious to get back... the whole time i was staring out the window... hoping to see glimpses of the city scape... 10 hours was like 10 years!! im glad im back... yea really glad.

The Rose That Grew From Concrete...

Did you hear about the rose that grew

from a crack in the concrete

Proving nature's laws wrong it learned

2 walk without having feet

Funny it seems but by keeping its

dreams it learned 2 breathe fresh air.

Long live the rose that grew from

concrete when no one else even cared!

-Tupac Shakur

Wise men... in tux & tutus.

Was watching this korean movie my housemate downloaded... didnt really understand much of the movie, but the food looked delicious and i was admiring all the men is suites. they look really smart in them. hahah... i cant wait till the end of the year when my sis' gets married, then i can wear a tux... 3 times!!! one in singapore, then KL and finally KK... i think i look pretty good in a tux.

yea! well today's weather was rather splendid... compared to the past 2 days. my ex-cell leader came to the city to visit me, how nice. yea, spend the whole afternoon with him and another ex-cell member of mine... took them for coffee and on the way back, i got a lil confused on the directions. Anyway! good to hear from them, but it was slightly different... he's so... ummm un-serious, yea well being the fact he's no longer a cell leader, he jokes alot this time... well , he tries to lar... but not raelly funny, but i still laughed lar... give face. hehehe...

yea... well i shall share with you all the benefits of gaining wisdom from God.

if you seek deeply for wisdom... then only would you be able to understand the fear of the Lord and receive the knowledge from God.
with wisdom, victory is in our hands, and it serves as a shield to us walking blamelessly against the enemy.
Through wisdom, we be able to understand what is right and just and fair... as wisdom enters into our hearts, therefore knowledge will be derived and be pleasant to our soul.
Wisdom will save us from the ways of the wicked men, whose words are perverse, as well as keep us far from the adulteress... from her seductive words.
Only with wisdom we be able to walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous... and of-course assures our ticket to Heaven!!

Yea... so thats the reason why i've been praying since young for wisdom... and i guess im still praying for it... coz ummm... i think im in desperate need for it!!
oh and i listen to the Stokovich Symphony live from the sydney opera house on the phone!! oh!! yea!!

my Sabbath day...

Prior to my active lifestyle... i have decided to take a breather and stay at home the whole day to do abit of house cleaning, mind relaxing meditation, reading while listening to soothing music... and rest my weary legs.
I've been really sporty the past few days... with swimming, basketball, volleyball, walking and a wee bit of sprinting. Yes!! Sporty I am, Fit i'll be!! well, my sporty days arent over yet... more to come i guess. gonna be playing tennis at some place near chapel street... and of coz with my sudden come back to the basketball scene, i shall be appearing slightly more frequently on the courts... yay! If this healthy sporty lifestyle goes on... i'll be really fit in no time, and mommy's really gonna lose on our bet. hahah....
well i met judy yesterday afternoon... and i'm such an idiot of not thinking to pass my air ticket to her to pass to my mom... shucks! things would be so much easier. a few people are going back to M'sia... and some of them asked if they could help bring anything when they come back. and nobody seems to able to comply my simple request... all i ask is for them to bring a couple of mamaks over. How hard could that be?! guess i'll have to do it myself.
well, its more or less mid way through my holidays... was interested in visiting this gallery at flinder's lane to check out one artist's works that i'm currently interested in. sadly i'm a months late for her exhibition... but i will go and check out the place nonetheless... this reminds me! i have to call up some of my friends for lunch/ coffee... promised them before the semester ended. shucks! im really such a procrastinator!! (i shall slap myself twice on the cheeks for procrastinating... well i would slap myself once on the right... but then if i do that, i guess i'm obliged to slap myself on the left as well... OUCH!!)

Rambling tummy...

Watched Shrek 2 yesterday... and it was really really really really really really really... FUNNY!! couldnt stop laughing!! the puss in boots was so adorable! hahaha.... funny funny funny.
yea... and finally i've tried korean food. well, it wasnt as spicy as i was told it should be. or maybe it was only one spicy dish, so the kick wasnt as hard it could potentially be. yum.
its really cold today... well surprisingly i woke up later than i usually did these couple of days. i just couldnt get myself off the bed... until my stomach really started growling.
well, and yesterday was a really sporty day for me!! i played basketball and volleyball!! hahah.. i feel so fit now!! its been really awhile since i played ball... and i kicked ass towards the last game... yea at the begining was still trying to adjust my skills... so it took awhile. and volleyball was.... okay... slightly painful to the arm. nonetheless, my team still had the upper hand!! weonly lost one game out of all the other games... hahaha!! yea baby!! we rock!! uhuh! uhuh!
anyway! my stomach is still growling... so ummm... you cant type on an empty stomach... eh?

the night we call it a day...

hmmm... with popular request, im currently asked to coach people how to play tennis... for free!! oh gee... whats a man got to do to put money in his pocket?! hmmm if the crowd exceeds more than 2, i think i'll have to start charging. im also considering on giving tuition... hmmm archi history tuition... its sort of a rip-off, coz you dont really need tutoring for history, its just studying and memorizing, but i guess if i'm gonna take up history tutoring, i better start reading up on the chapters... especially the ones im really terrible at, like Baroque, International style and asian. hmmm i guess it'll be fun, coz then i might probably learn new stuffs on the run. but thats still only on consideration.
today was generally a jolly day for everyone i think... even though the weather was pretty gloomy... and rainy... and cold... etc. but everyone seems to be generally happy. its my house turn to play host for dinner for my other friends today... we usually take turns once in awhile to cook and invite all us archi folks to gather and feast!! today my housemate made Bak Kut Teh!! it has improved throughout the months... which is pretty cool, more flavour!! yea... and desert was red bean soup... yum yum!! yum yum!! haha... if this goes on, im really gonna be fat in no time. have to start exercizing again... probably go swiming tomorrow in the morning. recently i've been waking up pretty early, which is good in a way. its healthy! but then there isnt much to do in the early morn, when everyone else is still sleeping. i woke at 5am today... and it was still really dark and cold... and i had no clue what so ever to do... i could do my quiet time... but for the whole 5 hours before church! ummm... not that ambitious yet, next time lar. yea so i decided to go back to sleep... and wake up 2 hours later... which was still quite early, 7am. yea... so if i wake up early again tomorrow, i think i'll go swimming... if im not too lazy and cold that is. hehe. its freezing!!
yea... tomorrows monday... hmmmm 2 more weeks before adelaide. yea, have to go down franklin street to get the tickets. oh this is gonna be fun! a bus ride with tasha! how exciting is that?! hehe... ei ju? dont worry ju, i'll take real good care of her... dont you worry. shes in good hands... hahahahaha!!! we'll go site seeing and stuff... its gonna be real fun!! (oh quit holding your fist... its not like you could do anything about it).
hey anton! hows the gathering over at kk?? did you all think about us? oops! reminds me... i better call Ben! im such a procrastinator!!... terrible terrible...
my life is going through a whole new phase now... which is pretty exciting!! and new... with the fact that i never saw it coming. but i guess its just what god wants our attitude to be... Not worrying of tomorrow, but live by today in itself...
i shall share with you this verse... i read this morning!!


The man who thinks he knows something
does not yet know as he ought to know.
But the man who loves God
is known by God.
1 Corinthians 8: 2-3


so comforting to understand, that its okay not to try understand everything... but just to leave it all in the hands of my Lord Jesus Christ!! coz i guess, as long as i know that He knows, then i guess... everything should be under control. And just have patience to wait on the Lord... cause answers will appear when it is to be revealed.

Isn't it Ironic... Don't you think?

My life can only be described in one word... Ironic. From the day i was brought into this world, and probably till the day i leave this planet.
1. I was neither born the eldest nor the youngest... instead in the middle.
2. I was born with curly hair unlike any other from my family
3. we were fed by the same mother n father, but i turn out to be fatter and the tallest.
4. We were nurtured by the same parents, i turn out to be different... (not really a pleasant past)
5. I loved art but ended up in a science stream class
6. I was expected to do A-levels in my own hometown, instead ended up at Taylor's college doing SAM at the very last minute
7. I told myself a million times that i would never date 0+1... ended up getting attached with her
8. Architecture was more or less at the bottom of the list, or probably never on the list of careers to pursue... in the end, my future lies in the hands of getting a Barch.
9. Melbourne Uni was the last place to be studying at. Now thats where im getting my Barch

and now.... hmmmmm.... Let's just say that Singaporeans and Medicine wasn't really my cup of tea... ;-)

Winter Wonderland...

Well... ummm... okay!

I have often walked down this street before;
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I Several stories high.
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour Out of ev'ry door?
No, it's just on the street where you live!
And oh! The towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near.
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear!
People stop and stare. They don't bother me.
For there's no where else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.


oh and the DETROIT PISTONS are the CHAMPIONS!! hmmm... when pistons meet larry... thats like 14 years ago. yea! but i kind of have pity on the lakers. becoz of this embarassing lost... it was really a one sided final. having all those "super stars" on the team, you expect them to walk away with larry in no hassle... but somehow that didnt happen. Malone... injured, Kobe... plain sucked, payton... he was insignificant during the whole final, and O'neal... well one man cant bring down the whole pistons to pieces. yea, and becoz of that, the whole laker team is most likely gonna dismantled... Phil jackson... should be let go. Kobe definitely cant stay, adding to his sex scandal... the team wouldnt want that to ruin their reputatiion, Payton and Malone, defintely no ones gonna renew their contracts... i think. Free Agents once again... and all the other supposed supporting players maybe traded away... e.g. Rick Fox...its sad... really sad. thats the end of the Laker dynasty of the 21st century.... Whoa! then T-Wolves might win it next year!!!! okay.. spurs, kings, and mavericks as well... but Wolves has the stronger chance!! you bet!!

Seafood and Poetry... a dynamic duo

Todays was a real lazy day... took a shit twice, but i had to take few minutes to decide whether i wanted to loosen it all out, i mean i was too lazy to take off my pants and sit on the bowl, pushing and pushing... lots of energy wasted there. ANYWAY! it was a lazy day, was supposed to go down the city to pay a visit to the agents, the immigration office, etc... basically running errands... in the end i asked my housemates to help send the documents to the agent and etc... and i just stayed home and slept on my comfy mattress... practically the whole afternoon, dunno why i am so tired today... i eat regularly, sleep early... anyway, the only productive thing i did was marketing in the morning... yes, its my turn to cook! well today was seafood day.... i bought oysters... yummy... i tried this weird recipe, not sure if it exists... of wrapping the oysters with mash potatoes and cheese... and baked it.. it tasted okay... yummy actually. hahah! well i cant be slacking tomorrow... i have to get things done.
yeap! i think my adelaide trip is more or less confirm on... yea, cant wait! im gonna watch SPIDERMAN there!! and a whole lot of other things to do... cept i have to bear with being a lamp-post for the week... haha... then have to self entertain when them couple go for their private rendezvous... i think i'll have to work, to pay back on the holiday expenses after that.
a friend of mine sent a poem written by her... seems pretty interesting, mixing food and poetry together...

Oh oyu fail to understand
the sinful pleasures i derive
from the silence of my weary thoughts
the poetry of the moment
the garbled decomposed story plots
like a harbinger or an omen
so back to where i began this
i can only conclude
that only two things make me happy
and they are poetry and food (yum)
one creates the other
the latter will prescribe
the source of inspiration
that the former will imbibe
poetry and food!
oh... a lethal combination
like cannabis, it leaves you with
unequivocal sensation
not that i have tried the stuff
honestly i haven't
but really, poetry and food
almost equal heaven!

well... i do agree food=heaven. and it does sort of compliments each other... for inspiration! where would good poetry be without the source of food!! feeling very hungry now... oh! thats why i have milk and cookies right beside me!!
tomorrow is game 5 of the NBA finals!! this time i shant miss it!! its the game of the season!! the very deciding match of who will take home the trophy and glory!! i shouldnt underestimate the lakers... but down 3-1... its really impossible to turn things around... not with the pistons playing such defense... remarkable! whoa! this pistons team is so much alike with the 80's lineup... i mean there's Rip Hamilton= Joe D, C. Billups= Isaiah Thomas, Ben Wallace= Dennis Rodman... i cant remember the rest of the 80's team... but R. Wallace rocks! though i do tend to worry bout his unpredictable emotion... nonetheless he's got passion for the game!! i find myself rather ironic... being the fact that i play tennis... but follows closely to the NBA and not the ATP. well for one thing i just found out that, Billie Jean King, Mauresmo and Martina Navaroltina (whatever) are all Lesbians... ugh! then again, all three of them arent the hottest babes on tour and it explains why them 3 are really the hard house of the tour... especially Martina, 40 plus and still going for it.. even steffi can't pull a feat like that.
Anyway, i better go do my quiet time before i go to bed... long day tomorrow. i hope.

tribute to the maid in maDhattOn...

I'm as happy as a King... umm actually im not sure bout that. i sacrificed todays game 4 match... to watch harry potter... and it was quite a dissapointing one, i think this would be my last harry potter movie... then again hermaine is getting prettier... oh gee... im in a real dilemma now!!
Great news!! Pistons is now up 3-1 in the series!! hope wednesday should be the icing of the cake!! hahaha!!! kobe really stinks!! yea now i know why i hate the lakers... coz kobe is one of the most lousy ball hog in the world... only jordan qualifies to be the ultimate ball hog... kobe... should just raise his assists stats... terrible fella. ANother great news!! France kicked ass!! england... boohoo... anyway i knew that france was surely gonna pulverize england... i mean... its england... they speak in british accents... how well do you expect them to play with those sort of accents... sigh. its ashame that france beat england with only one goal... i expected some sort of hat-trick by Henry... but anyway, a wins still a win... hehe.

hmmmm... then again, i'm feeling very english today... i watch 2 english movies... one was harry potter... then later went over to one of my friends place to watch this film called "love actually"... i thought it was that movie starring the Star Wars fella and the Bridget jones diary gal... apparently that movie is called "down with love"... wonder how i got mixed up between the 2 titles.... ANYWAY! love actually... was actually a pretty nice movie... the movie depicted different sorts of love affairs... bla bla... yea, i especially loved the Father & Son... on top of that the father was an Architect... haha and the son can play the drums... cute cute!! was wondering when i do become a daddy... wonder how am i gonna handle the situation when my son falls in love... tough call. oh Hugh Grant is really good looking... i wish i was as good looking as that... he's so goofily dashing... oh gee (stares at the mirror)... deary me... one day.... when i become the prime minister of msia... haha...

was talking to my maid on the phone a moment ago. i was telling her that i cooked over here at aussie. with disbelieved she said "temberang"... aik! she is so evil in her words... i must prove to her on my newly acquired culinary skills. she's a fun maid to play with and to bully... i remember that i always try to scare her from behind while she prepares lunch/ dinner sometimes... and usually i always succeeded... and she be real frightened... and threatens to stab me with the knife she was holding... well usually around that time i would run all the way to my room in fear, but be still laughing. nowadays shes smarter, realizing she can detect my sneakiness through the window reflections... but hey! she scares me too!! usually to the extent of me screaming in shock! one time she caught me by surprise by the stairs with her wearing a facial mask... i really thought it was a ghost!! awgh!!
She's always scolding me... no wonder i usually call her "kakak", when my siblings usually address her by her name. i like talking to her, i mean because i get to speak malay... indon style! and sometimes when im bored at home, i'll watch tamil/ hindi films with her... or be fighting over the remote control! she always wins, being the fact she starts sulking and i have no choice then. and she NEVER EVER helps washes the car for me... she helps the rest of my family members... but not me! haha and i enjoyed those chats we have that usually ends to no where... but at-least i got to speak in malay. she knows all my tricks, and seen all the idiotic things ive done and can do (orchestral conducting, freaky dances...etc), she knows what i like to eat... and sometimes cooks the opposite just to irritate me, never stops teasing me, listens to almost all my songs in the shower... and scolds me after that, recognizes all my friends who had visited my house (especially Brian and Hungcai... oh and julius the shorty. muahahah i miss those midnight stonings at my house), she knows some of my secrets and stashings that my parents will never ever know... Gosh! she knows more than i know she should!!!

Geez, i know what are you all thinking... who on earth writes about his maid in his blogs?!

haha... but she's already like family... i still have that t-shirt she bought me during her holiday back at her home country... deary me... i wonder if she's already attached to that guy by the time i get back. thats if she finally can decide which guy she wants...
her favourite line on me... "ko ni sam.....!!!!!" muahaha...

Sheepishly Smiling...

i was stoning for about an hour before i finally got out of my bed and did stuff. was just staring aimlessly at the ceiling light up in my room... imagining it flashing at me. im such an idiot... hahah!!
i shall share with you all this very special letter! the significance of this letter is because it was written by my DADDY!! he rarely writes... probably my mom was sick of being his secretary to write the mails for him...
Hi Sam

We are very pleased to know you are ok. Away from home, it requires
self
discipline to take care of yourself. Eat at the right time and proper
food.
In the event of sickness, see a doctor. Your uni insurance is there to
cover
such contingency.

Yesterday (Sat), Mom and I attended Paul's graduation. It was another
moving moment for us parents. Seeing another kid of ours finishing the
secondary/preU education is both a happy as well as sad moment. We are
glad
that he had finally completed another phase of his life and are now
preparing to enter into another phase. I was particularly touched by
the
graduating students' representative's speed. " After 18 months together
in
Institut Sinaran, this day is the last day we are together under one
roof.
After this we will be moving our separate ways". Truly, those times
spent
together would never come back again. This is what I believe should be
one
of our attitudes in life. Any time we have to spend with family
members,
relatives and friends should be seized and treasured. This
moment/memory
would never return again.

The night Paul finished his last paper on 9.6.04 (Wednesday), we took
Paul
out for a meal. We wanted to celebrate with him the ending of a phase
of
his secondary/preU phase of life as he entered into another. We wish
that
we can do this to all our 3 children as they enter each stage of life.
Pre4U, Uni, into marriage etc.

We send you here some once in a life time moment of Paul's graduation.
See
the photo ! Paul was fortunate to have the support of more than the
parents !

Dad

i miss my dad, i was telling one of my friends today about how when our family plays TABOO... my parents usually team up together either with me or my brother and would go against my sister and her fiancee... haha my parents are really cute, my dad blames my mom for every single reason... when he couldnt guess the answer right, he would blame my mom for poor explanations, when my mom couldnt guess the answer, then he would blame yet again that my mom is very slow and cannot make it... but truthfully his explanations on things sometimes are very hopeless lar... cant wait till we can play TABOO again as a family.

15 things to do during the Holidays...

Was in bed most of the time for the past 2 days...cept on friday morning to listen to the GAME, it was a magnificent one, the lakers were literally trashed and outdefended as well as out scored and outrun byt the mean D pistons, if this goes on, pistons are sure to gain the championship! i cant wait till monday morn! gonna listen to game 4!!! i was struck by gastric on the exam day. it was the worse feeling you could ever have on an exam day! i decided to wake up extra early to do some revision, sadly as i did, the first thing i felt was the pain! on top of that, the paper was quite a tough one... hope i'll come through (fingers crossed). However i should be very thankful to have such good housemates, to take care of me during my 2 days of suffering in pain, feeding me and all... im deeply touched! shucks but now i probably owe them big time.

Sleigh Ride together with... Duffy [Dreams of a closet fan]

i think i pulled a muscle during my attempt to touch the ceiling...
ANYWAY!!
i am ashamed of myself.... i copied a whole set of HILARY DUFF mp3s from my housemate. when i heard the songs playing... i got all coocoo and straight away requested to copy all the songs into my laptop! oh gee... i feel so poppy now... but shes cute... and ummm cute?
ever since i had this really freaky and weird dream of me bumping into Hilary at the LRT... things changed... the very next day i started downloading her wallpapers and MP3s... how shallow can i be?! probably it was some sort of vision! but it was a nice dream... she looked so adorable in the lrt with the beret, baby T and jeans... i cant remember the whole procedure of how we got to know each other... but later on in the dream... we became sort of "lovers"... (note: this wasnt a wet dream)... yea, i vaguely remembered the whole dream... all i know is that after the whole thing... i became so duffy... i suddenly could make conversations with one of my archi juniors who was a Duffy fan... ugh! i thought i was all over with the whole duffy frenzy... apparently not... in fact im listening to her MP3s at his very moment... looping the whole set of songs over and over again.... SOMEBODY SAVE ME!!!
hmmm... its a good thing i havent deleted all the wallpapers of her... heheh... oh yea... i was also crazily head over heels with the MTV veejay- Denise Keller as well... she's hot... i literally bought all the female mags that had her on the cover... i was too embarrased to buy them that i usually would ask my female friends or sister to help purchased the latter. well another reason i was excited on visiting Singapore was to hope i might just bump into her... my whole life would be in topsy turvy... chances are a 100 to 1... but hey! atleast there was still a chance... nvm... i still have another chance during my next trip to singapore!!!
but i guess it was these sort of fantasies that helped me stay single the whole of last year... too busy dreaming of the impossible that i didnt really bother of the reality.

please erase everything that you had read in this blog from your head!

Julius is so LAME...

Im really full now... just had my dinner!! i had mutton, fish, pork sausages, lunchean meat... its a very meaty dinner. yea so now im really feeling fat and lazy... cant study, my brains all clogged up with meat... uh?
ANYWAY! was at the library today... Finally! Law is starting to make sense... yea, feeling slightly more confident for thursday's paper now... well it was more enjoyable to read it today... yea. Then my way leaving the library, i bumped into one of my cell mates... whoa she's really funny... only 16... insisting that she's overly matured for her age... well look wise probably.. hehe. yea, being 16 she's really despesperate to get into a relationship... didnt remember i was like that when i was 16... i was carefree!! well i did have crushes... but never indulging myself into getting into relationships.. was i? So yea, she was trying to psychoanalyze me on relationships... trying to figure out what type of gal would i want... and bla bla... but wonder how did the whole conversation ended up talking about, sports, pets, studies... etc... she really has alot to say. well i did mention to her that... you can only be ready to be in a relationship when you can be independant and love your singlehood... only then you are prepared to get yourself tangled into one when you learn how and able to live your life independantly, without depending on others... (does this make sense? its very general eh? no wonder she didnt agree with me) anyway, she was really very long winded... in the end i started psychoanalyzing her for a bit. i should had just left when i had the chance. heres a song dedicated to her... adapted from the sound of music:

you are 16 goin on 17...
baby i think u should wait
dont try to think of so many things
thats ir-relevant to you

you are 16 going on 17
pls concentrate in ur studies
no point in wishing getting attached
when F is the grade u get

pressured and crazy u can be
if you would think too much
old and lonely u might be
if you expect too much

you need someone older and wiser
telling you to hit the books

i am 21 going on 22
i'll stay away from you...

hahaha... oki i better hit the showers before i head for the books!!

Lazy, Hazy, Crazy... days of Judgement.

2 more days then its my one and only paper for the semester. law is sooooooooo boring... its so hard to fix and concentrate your mind in reading all the texts, as well as memorizing it!! ugh! im partially stressed now...
ANYWAY! went to the bank today... and to my dismay! there was no money in the account!! whoa im really broke now!! just hope all these $$ issue would be settled ASAP. then i went to bank in my housemates rent $$ in my bank account... whoa the bank lady was so irritating... kept asking and insisting i should insure my apartment... blah blah!! wonder why did i give in and hung around listening to the whole how-to-get-insured talk...
whoa! 6 more months till christmas!! i cant wait... i've already started downloading christmas songs from the net.. aahhah just downloaded Nat King Cole's version of Frosty the Snowman... the back-up singers are so cute... they sound like lil birds chirping... when they sing the chorus part.
i've really nothing much to type here... i think i must be really sleepy & dreamy... hmmm i'll continue studying later in the morning!! time is running out now...
well i guess im happy that the PISTONS managed to steal one home game from the lakers... yea, as long as they are champions... that would be most comforting... i despise the Lakers... noparticular reason why... but i guess it be great if the East side would gain a championship again... since the Chicago Bulls era.
oki i better stop here... theres not much to think about... except... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Things i'll never say...

DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!! ugh!! i wanna go to heaven at this very instant... (i know i shouldnt be saying these sort of things... God may just strike a thunder right into this very room... but then again he wouldnt, that defeats the whole purpose of me staying in planet EARTH) He's so smart... this is a very unusual day of me having mood swings... rare indeed!! after all these swingings... by now i should be winning.. ei? swinging when your winning? oh im so so so full of crap now... i think i shall go for a swim later... after dinner before i continue studying.
the whole day, the word suicide crossed my mind... not that i wanted to... but it was just thoughts... i might be having my first period... but im a guy?! thats impossible... maybe im mentally tired... why should i be? oh i don't know... i have no reason to be frustrated either... freaky, deaky, leaky... oh gee... peace b with you Ronald Reagen... send regards for me tp everybody when your up there. i really wish im in Heaven at this very instant... at this very moment im hoping a big fiery carriage would just swoop down and carry me away... then again what have i done to deserve this privilege to enter into heaven's gate now... shucks! im trying to remember the name of that guy in the bible, where he was chased by soldiers and so he prayed to God for help, and God came and swoop him up straight into heaven... awesome.
im having a real sour face now, angry eyes... sulking lips... head tilted to one side... and now im shaking my head in despair... i AM really pathetic.

when i become an architect... i wanna be able to help those designer outlets design their stores/ boutiques... Armani... Hugo...prada... etc. Rem Koolhaus practically designed all the Hugo boutiques... then John Pawson designs most of them CK boutiques... hmmm i shall design all them Armani Stores... A/X, Emporio, giorgio... that be so cool... my whole wardrobe would be all Armani... classy... GAYA, MUTU, KEUNGGULAN
during dinner time i ahd this funky idea of the dining table being the morning papers!! its like the table made of this transparent screen.. and everyday the papers are screen onto the table... and you can read your morning news on the table... no need to flip the pages and get your fingers all smudge with ink... no dog drool all over... no broken windows... no undelivered or wrongly delivered paper... alls in the big table screen... and thats the best way to keep them trees alive!! there was a mob today at the streets... protesting and fighting for the trees or something... holding them huge posters of badly drawn trees... well i guess artists wouldnt be joining in the crowd... their lives are dependent on paper... like me!! papers are so useful... you can write and leave nasty notes on it or write sweet love letters, draw on it... fold it into anything you like... make them into lil bullets to lastik on people... its eadible... keep you out from the cold... wipe your ass with it... blow your nose... wrap your food with it... clean your mirror with it... as a disposable carpet... use it as a furniture... play slam dunk with it... blah bleh bluh!!

i better go do the dishes... tomorrow is pre-winter cleaning time!! the agents are coming to check the place on wednesday.. so we have to make sure the place is in good condition before they arrive... which i think theres lots of work to be done!! plus i desperately need to go to the bank this time... im broke!! and i better head to the archi building to collect back my stuffs... before they throw it all away... heck! let them throw lar... oh wait! the MODEL!! i think im gonna put it up for sale... okay its up for bidding... starting at $10... any buyers?? hmmm or mayb i should sell it to one of the galleries in the city... i think they'll be interested... YEAP!!!!or mayb i should sell it to Armani... he might like the design and offer me to design all his boutiques around the world!! oh im so so so full of crap... probably i have to take a crap later... ugh! you see!! i think i shall go for a swim... but its too cold!! hmmm mayb i'll eat those marshmallows which is sitting there right in front of me... YUMMY!!

Needless to say...

I managed to stroke a possum today... thats pretty cool. usually these little critters would just run away everytime i set like 3 feet away from them... but this time or probably this particular possum was just a lil friendly/ hungry... yea so i managed to get my hands on it... Yeap, just came back from a walk... im quite adventurous eh? not bad... not bad... took a stroll down to "marvel" at the architecture of the Fed Square... finally i can say i've been there!! but its probably different from the day time, atleast i've really seen it... then i visited the Parliament... its... very.. umm victorian... yea... u dont get to see these sort of buildings in msia... so it was pretty cool... then i just wandered around the city... its really cold!! being a fact that i only wore 2 layers... ugh! i realised theres alot of mini art galleries around the city... yea i've decided after my exams i'm gonna visit all these lil galleries and just look at these art pieces... though i might not have a single clue of appreciating art... i shall still do it... for the sake and love of ART!! as well as to consume the architecture of the spaces.
im so happy my sister called yesterday... it was a long chat... and its funny, being the fact of the conversation we had.. its strange in a good way... atleast the bond of trusts and openess is there... being the fact that i use to not be very comfortable to share most of my private lifes to her... afraid of her being a teller and feeling uneasy... then again i was more of the sort of nosy one... rambling through her private stuffs... heheh sorry bout that! it was out of boredom then... dont worry... your secret is safe with me... umm not really actually... but thats as far as it would spread!! ;-)
Ping Pong is FUN!! yea... i cant wait till thursday ends... then finally its really the end of the semester... lots of things i can do!! haha!! well atleast i know that i passed my Design Studio!! not sure bout the grade... but i guess its not so important for this semester, coz i think most of my results are just so-so... no high expectation... yea my tutor send an email to all of us... regarding how privilage it was to have studio with us and that we all passed!!
im very pleased with myself now... just hope i wont screw up my practice this coming thursday... and just hope i'll pass Theories!!
