::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::

yup, i'm back in Melbourne.

::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!

to sink in and enjoy my birthday celebration.
but i guess i should count my blessings,
and be happy that at least, i was able to spend my birthday
with a bunch of really good friends and family. :)
i love you guys!
it was so unexpected.
it was touching.
it was so sweet of you guys.
a mini private surprise party was wat i need
before i embark on my last year in melbourne.

behind my back. i seriously had absolutely no idea!

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. :)

we bought food and once everything has been paid for,
headed over to fauz's place for supper and a Heroes marathon.

a snakey week

my love

::me being entangled by my dearest mussels and kupang!::

it seems that i've been so comfortable
with my single status that i've totally
forgotten of that one day when couples
proclaim to each other of their undying love....
valentine's day.
a day of roses, chocolates and loads of sweet nothings,
a day when male chauvinistic pigs magically transform into gentlemen,
a day when singles love to hate,
a day when singles desperately go look for a date,
a day when dateless people calls it "friendship day"...
as for me, it's will just be a normal wednesday.
and i like it that way. :)

a huff, and a puff, and i smoke that grape-flavoured sheesha away!
who would have thought smoking sheesha was gona be that fun!
it was my first time, and you can call me "shua gu" for all i care...
but i really enjoyed myself.
and it wouldnt have been that fun without the
fabulous company of fauzi, suping and sabrina!
sitting on the carpet along arab street never felt so good.
laughing, joking, smoking, singing, taking photos, stoning...
it really felt like i was in heaven.
a huff, and a puff, and we smoked till the break of dawn...

to see my banner and posters hanging up high for the public to see...
two words... overwhelming, satisfying.
i want my designs to inspire and motivate people.
i want my designs to touch and captivate people.
i want my designs to have an impact on those who sees them.
that's the reason why i'm doing what i'm doing... designing.
i hope my future works would continue to do just that,
possibly even more, and touch even more lives.

::sham and i at Changi General Hospital::

i'll pray for the pain to go away.
i'll pray for your fast recovery.
i'll pray you'll get back on your feet,
never to use the clutches again.
i'll pray...
making sure you'll get well soon my friend.

going to hospitals is always depressing.
i know many feel the same.
as i walk through the ward,
i reframe from looking at the other patients.
the sicken face,
the painful expression,
the moaning cries,
the sadden look on the faces of their family members...
it's too much for me to bear.
i just wish they wouldnt have to go thru so much pain....
and yet my mum deals with such patients everyday.
i respect and admire her for that.

finally caught up with rain and jeremiah.
love hanging out with them.
always a pleasure.
always a must.
always... late. i'm blaming it on traffic!!!
we went to Indulgence, a restaurant opposite Bugis Junction, for dinner.
food's fantastics and the interior is classy.
expect to pay generously, but it sure is worth it.
after which, we went over to Starbucks, Bugis Junction, for coffee and
a game of watever-the-name-of-the-game-is.
just wana say i love the both of you man!
rain, we so hafta meet up more often.
miss the good old times when we always hung out together and just lepak.
but i guess as we grow older and have other commitments like work and stuff,
it only makes it harder to find time to do the things we wana do.
but just so you know, you'll always have a special place in my heart.
that is without a doubt.

my week so far...

spongy!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
::me hugging the spongebob toy that jenn bought for me::

it has been a busy week.
there were things to do,
places to go,
people to meet.
met some new faces,
met some old.
but all's well and couldnt be better.

::i was asked to design the poster for project vibrant colours. the poster has gone throught many changes... at one point i was so fed up with the demands i screamed at fauz. but i'm happy with the final result. definitely learned a lot along the way . what do you guys think of it?::

first and foremost,
PROJECT VIBRANT COLOURS.
if you guys are free for the weekends,
do come and attend this charity event.
for this project,
i was tasked to design the logo, poster, 2 banners and the flyers.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
::this is the logo i designed for project vibrant colours. the reason i volunteered to design for them is because the initial design they came out with was... erm... frankly... FUGLY... i cant stand bad design... and i wanted people to have a good first impression of the project. having a strong and well designed logo would definitely help heaps. they wanted a flame, so i made the human figures look like flames.::

it's my first real-life assignment,
and i'm doing it pro-bono.
tough and demanding....
stressful and frustrating...
satisfying and fullfilling...
doing it again anytime soon? i doubt it...
for all the hard work that's been put in,
pls come and support us.

::the guys playing pool::

how long has it been?
2? no, more like 3 years? has it been this long?
nothing much has changed,
or at least from what i could possibly remember.
the tasty aroma, the sizzling sound of prata frying,
the sight of soccer playing on the tv screens,
people chatting and laughing away...
much resembles my beloved simpang bedok,
but the stretch of bukit timah would always be distance and foreign to me.
i remember my good old army days when i would drop by
bukit timah during nights off for a scrumptious meal.
yes scrumptious, becos camp food will always be repulsive and nauseous.
sham was the reason i endured a 45min mrt ride down to clementi,
where we hopped onto a cab to bukit timah.
it was nice catching up with sham.
making it a point whenever i'm back.
after our meal, after everyone had gathered, and after we were done talking,
we proceeded on to a game of pool.
pool, a game based solely on skills... and most of the time on luck as well...
i am never really good at it even though i love the game
and used to spend nights playing with friends.
the feeling of hitting the ball into the hole... simply orgasmic!
the feeling of trashing your opponent... simply empowering!
the feeling of mistakenly hitting the black ball in... simply priceless!
the night ended with a drink with abang and damien,
and a nice long ride back home by abang.
thanks sham for the lovely night.

::boshen and i at coffee club::

i've always enjoyed the company of jenn.
she makes me feel important, loved and treasured.
i could never ask for more.
met up with her and boshen on wednesday.
dinner at Hongkong cafe, cineleisure,
followed by coffee at coffee club, beside california fitness.
i love that particular outlet.
i could never find an explanation for its effects on me.
relaxing, therapeutic, calm, refresh...
might be the rich tasting coffee...
might be the mist-spraying fans...
might be the surrounding ambience...
might be the fun-loving company...
whatever it may be,
sitting there with jenn and boshen was relaxing.
it relaxes my mind and body
and for a moment in time, feeling at peace...
as we sat there, we reminisce the good old days in secondary school.
i guess that happens a lot when you're ard frens who've been with
you for more than 8 years.
and no matter how many times we bring it up,
it's never a bore, never an old topic.
what jenn says is true, "memories are one of the greatest gift from God".
i would like to add that friends play a major role in creating that great memory.
i'm fortunate to have friends like them.
"it's not the quantity but the quality that matters".
cliche it may be, but it's ever so true.
that evening was fabulous.
thanks jenn for the spongebob pillow!
hope you guys enjoyed the forfit i did becos i was fashionably late... :)

ordered heaps of food, making me look like a glutton...
black pepper roti john, mash potato, plaster with ikan curry,
kanbeng soup with roti, tei o ice....

after eating, we head over to sheda's place.
spiral and lala were there to greet us.

just wishing and hoping and praying i'll have a cat just like them.
it was close to 6am by the time i left their place.
but i had a great time with them. :)

::sheda and gaz::



an eventful sunday.
i only managed to sleep for a couple of hours after coming back
from sheda's place before meeting up with fauz.
we were planning to go toy-shopping at the flea market at China Square.
as we entered the complex, we were greeted to.. none other than toys!!!
toys galore!!!
shower me with toys!!!
a paradise filled with nothing but toys!!!
my eyes wide open,
my heart pounds fiercely,
as i stretch out my hands,
it's only toys that i reach....
er... hmmm...getting a little carried away...
so the afternoon was spent shopping away.

::St James Powerhouse::

when day turns to night,
the animal within is unleashed.
sham was ever so kind to get invites for us.
the hunting ground? St James Powerhouse.
a fun night indeed.
didnt expect to see so many familiar faces.
hidayat, my camp mate, was one i didnt expect.
a kiss to the left, a kiss to the right and a kiss to the center.
that's code word for "my gawd!!! i'm so happy to see you!!!
i cant believe you are here!!!"
the music was awesome, the crowd was fabulous,
and we danced like there was no tomorrow.
thanks guys for making it such a great night.

::pic taken at JB::

gaz and i made a last minute trip to JB.
though it was short, we made the most of it.
he bought dvds, while i bought some ciggies....
i'm addicted to SKL!!!
after which, we had some food nearby before heading back.
no fuss, no muss. :) i like.
personally, i'll never buy a pirated dvd... unless it's anime.
maybe cos when i'm in australia, i'm always buying original dvds...
i duno...
somehow i feel i dun own the movie if i buy pirated ones...
somehow... looking at the crappy pirated dvd cover makes me
loose interest in the movie....

::this piece of xiao long pao was left untouched on the table... till it got harden... and started to grow fungi...::

on wednesday 31st jan,
met up with jenn and boshen again.
and this time round, ah bee was able to join us.
her humour... unbeatable, leathel and unmercyful.
just love the jokes she cracks!
and i think she can be my smoking kaki in the group.
both of us smoked so much that day.... bad...
anyway it was my first time eating at this chinese restaurant.
i'm not so much of a lets-go-eat-dim-sum kinda guy.
so i had no idea what to order, or how to order...
"er.... can i have this?" *point to the pic*
"nice or not ah?" *looking at the waitress with a blur look"
"what is xiao long bao? is it big? must share one is it?" *trying to search for the pic on the menu*
i was clueless....
i am hopeless....
went to starbucks after that.
this time, i knew exactly what i wanted.
"can you get me a cup of latte?
make sure it's in a take-away cup!!!
tall size hor... thank you." *looking really tense*
i was trying too hard...
i am hopeless...

i'm loving my new sony ericsson K800i camera phone!
still have a lot more photos to upload...
no time...

it was late one night,
i was feeling emo.
so i wrote this crap:
without hesitation i raised my foot and moved it forward.
i couldnt care less where my foot would land.
be it solid ground or empty space,
seeing you in front of me was enough to risk my all.
i never learn.
my emotions control me and i feel like such a fool.
i clench my fists,
and fall to my knees,
wishing my heart would bleed and stop.
why wouldn't you look at me and say those words?
why wouldn't you take my hands and place it close to your heart?
why wouldn't you touch my face and wish this would never end?
i close my eyes,
and lay on the floor,
wondering if you'll ever feel the same.
i've learned that there are desires in life that are unattainable.
wanting to have better looks.
wanting to be more intelligent.
wanting to have a smooth sailing life .
wanting me to be in your life.
