::pic of my room ceiling back home in singapore. just feel that this pic represents how i feel and the situation that i'm in right now::

i'm a little late in updating this blog of mine.
was pretty busy the last few days before flying back to melbourne.
yup, i'm back in Melbourne.
3rd year, here i come!!!
well, i'm still pretty much in a holiday mood...
i'm already missing my late nights in singapore!!!
late night supper, late night movies, late night outings...
and late night mc donald's delivery!!!
i hope to do really well for this coming year.
i wana give my all and excel.
cant wait to be back in singapore for good.
cos i'm missing everyone already!

::my air ticket and the bar counter at the Raffles Silver Lounge::

i love travelling in style!
i'm fortunate to be able to travel on Raffles class aboard Sinagpore Airline.
just before boarding my flight,
was chilling at the Raffles Silver Lounge.
not all that fun though cos i was travelling alone.
but at least travelling back in comfort was more than i could ask for.

::me at the Raffles Silver Lounge. wat's the point if i'm here without the company of friends? this only proves that having money is nothing compared to having family and friends::



how's chinese new year for everyone?
how much have you guys collected from the red packets
you received over this festive season?
had a good time catching up with relatives?
for me, it's kind of a bittersweet ocassion.
chinese new year is a time for me to meet up
with my relatives, some of whom i get to
meet only once a year.
it's always nice catching up with them.
we have the yearly gambling and movie outings.
and yes, i do look forward to the red packets.
but once the celebration is over,
it''s time for me to pack my bags
and jet off to Melbourne... again.
i've been doing this for the past 2 years now,
and i'm glad this is my last year in Melbourne.
i will greatly miss everyone in singapore, family and friends.
i could say that this holiday has been one of the best times i had so far.
and i hope that the fun would never cease.

::pic taken at Chinatown after the chinese new year countdown::

during the eve of chinese new year,
fauz, suping and i went to Chinatown for the countdown.
we had a lot of fun there.
the fireworks, the fire crackers, the crowd...
after the countdown, we went over to the pasar malam
for some night shopping.
as expected, it was packed with people!
we could barely walk...
and could barely see the merchandises...
when we reached the crossroad,
we were caught up in the crowd for close to 10 minutes.
it was too congested.

::pic of Backstage at Chinatown::

after much squeeze and pushing,
we found refuge at Backstage,
a gay pub in the heart of Chinatown.
the last time i went there was many years back.
nothing has really changed since.
and i like it the way it is.
we smoked, drank beer, chatted, watched mtv channel,
taking photos while waiting for the crowd to subside.
Backstage is a nice place indeed.
and i'll definitely go back again when i'm back.
(and yes, i'm very aware of the kind of crowd the place attracts)
we decided to hit the streets again.
we bought food along the way,
bought some intricate and beautiful chinese paper cuts,
and bumped into a celebrity whom i seriously couldnt be bothered.
once we were done with Chinatown,
we made a quick stop to Bencoolen Street,
as suping wanted to visit the temple there.
and once that is done,
we headed over to my beloved Simpang Bedok for supper!
all in all, i had a lot of fun!

and be happy that at least, i was able to spend my birthday
with a bunch of really good friends and family. :)

i can feel a change in me.
somehow, somewhere, inside me,
i can feel some form of growth.
there's a whole new me forming inside me.
like an alter ego, like a twin, like a reflection...
yet when i look into the mirror,
i still see the same me...
i cant tell a difference.
not even the slightest of it.
i touch my face, brush my hair, bite my lips...
i place my wet hand on the mirror,
and stare right back at me.
i feel i'm still me but then...
i'm not sure how to describe it.
but i can just feel it.
i'm not sure if it's good or bad.
but i can just feel it happening.
i see a grin in the mirror.
i can feel it.


i noticed that, besides the usual perverted old men,
i tend to attract guys who are shorter than me and are smokers.
and i noticed that somehow, besides the usual asshole jerks,
i tend to fall for guys who are smokers and have a way with words.
but what i really like in a guy?
sincerity.
and then the usual loving, honest, sweet and funny.
but for now, it'll just be me, me and me.
and of course my family and friends. :)

::fauz playing with his fan he got from a wedding earlier on in the day::

shopping at Mustafa Centre at 2am can be really enjoyable!
went there with fauz and suping.
had so much fun going through the perfume section, dvds section,
watches section and of cos... FOOD SECTION!!!
we bought food and once everything has been paid for,
headed over to fauz's place for supper and a Heroes marathon.
all thanks to fauz for cooking for us. :)

"it takes 4 hands to clap."
"infinity plus 1."
"one one!'
it may not make any sense to others,
but it definitely makes clear sense to you.
you'll always have a very special place in my heart.
hold on to your promises as i'll be holding on to mine.
take excellent care of yourself cos you mean the world to me.
