Good day, mates!!

Greetings, i hail thee from the land of the "Good day mates!",
so far its been pretty fine i guess, i don't miss home as much as i thought i would really,
prolly cause i'm staying at my aunts for a while, which is family, which is sorta a compensation,
but the real adventure starts next week really, when i move in my appartment so that should be a joy to watch,
so far adjusting has been pretty alright,
i have this theory that the less you expect the better things will turn up for you,
so far, it seems to be working,
people here are soso i guess,
normal's the word i suppose, just that there are more ang moh's than in malaysia (gee..i wonder why??!!) and they smoke a lot,
i mean A LOT,
they love their ciggs so much that the first thing you smell after you exit the terminal is tobaco,
and after 8 hours in a freaking plane with an inconsiderate IDIOT sitting in front of you,
the last thing you REALLY need is for those foul gasses to intoxicate you,
i swear by the rate their going they'd all be dead when they reach 50.

I've been left alone in the house for the week cause my aunt and all the little ones are going on a vacation to Lawn, which is somewhere in australia,
they asked me to come but i humbly declined,
personally, going on a trip when i just got here=not a very good idea,
so i stayed back and i have the whole house to myself,
which is great and all but i have NOTHING TO DO!!!!,
*sigh* all i've been doing is watching the aussie open all day, and i mean all day.......
which is why i have nothing to blog about which is why i'm blogging about this.

ANYWAY i suppose thats about it really,
school starts next wed, and i got orrientation on tues so hopefully i'll have something to blog then, so untill next time.....

p.s. i tried to tell her but alas i failed miserably, i still wish i did but i guess we'll never know...but how is she btw?

So it ends, my time here in malaysia is coming to a close, 9 more hours till my flight,
what lies ahead, a new chapter of my life, its weird, i've been picturing this moment for a long time now,
since i was form 1, i somehow knew i was going to end up in australia, melbourne in partucular,
when i didn't leave for melb in form 3 my hopes and aspirations were dampened for a bit,
but now, its a whole different ball game.

Went to sam+rach's birthday party on saturday, it was alright,
as opposed to the 80 odd that sam invited i think only round 30 came at most,
but it was alright, we still had fun, at least they did, i was more stoned than anything really,
something to do with the going away,
got to meet quite a few poeple and exchanged a few goodbye's and good luck's,
i really wonder if i'll ever see any of them ever again,
prolly not,
but there was one thing i really regreted though, then again maybe not,
i should've told her eh,
prolly ages ago,
but i chickened out,
i guess i am a chicken,
i suppose beve was right,
i am a big ass chicken (among the other things she so blatantly called me).

Ah well, regrets i've had a few eh,
well thats bout it, 9 more hours till take off, so till next time, form melb this time.....

Cause we are gonna be,

Forever you and me,

Always keep it flying,

High in the sky.

As the lrt came up to the station, i couldn't help but feel the anxiety,
as adrenalin pumps through my body,
i stepped out, and i felt a distinct feeling,
a feeling i haven't felt in a while,
i took the escalator down, just like i had done hundreads of times before,
i could hear their merry voices,
laughing away,
and as i approached the building,
i noticed something,
something rather awkward,
almost wrong,
the building i spent so much time in,
is now......ORANGE!!!!

I went back to school the other day, i must say, it looks pretty nice,
the new block isn't quite done yet but its really taking shape,
they basically moved all the upper sec to the new block and now the form 3's n 2's are occupying the old new block, the really old block houses all the little ones with all their little things,
its pretty weird really, its like stepping into a time zone,
i actually still a bit stiff when i walk into the office,
its like a freaking presence man,
btw, the office had a face lift man, they moved it to the new new block,
and their doing renovations on the old block now.

It was pretty cool walking down the hallway again,
very nostalgic, its like deja vu all over again,
i had a few weird glances from the students,
it took them a while to figure out who i was, must've been the hair cut =),
even hayats and leong had to stare at me for a while,
talked to a couple of people, the prefects look pretty slick i must say,
they're new unifrom is sooooo much better than ours,
CURSES!!!

I had a nice chat with Pn. Noor,
she's still Pn. Noor, still telling me bout the prefects and all the mishaps and the shit that happens within the prefect's,
i sat in for the interact meeting,
it was sooo freaking funny, i walked in as Zabs was scolding them, then she seemed to potong steam for a while,
they've already selected the form 4's which i must say is really fast,
its really funny seeing zabs scold the form 4's, so surreal, brings back fond memories =),
stayed back a while to talk to zabs,
she was telling me how all the teachers are all scattered now,
like jamaliah and haslina moved out of the tudung gang's fortress,
and how the interact club is giving her so much trouble...where have i heard that before eh...

Left school at around 5 ish,
i must say, it was really a trip down memory lane,
its nice to see the school's changing for the better,
it looks much better than when i came in 6 years ago,
i still miss the school a bit i guess,
just a little bit,
at the corner of my heart =)

So thats bout it for now really, i've gotta pack!!!!
so till next time....

p.s. 4 days and counting =S

Your voice echoes through my head,

Its been a while since i thought of you,

But how unforgettable your voice is,

So resounding,

So loud,

Oh! How unforgettable your voice is.

I went shopping yesterday for what else..underwear.

I'm proud to say that i have more than enough underwear to last me for 3 WEEKS even WITHOUT having to WASH ANY =), and i have to thank my personal bank account i.e. my mum for everything =)

So i went out to ampang point again today for a different reason obviously, i wanted to see whether any one of the 3 electronics shops can repair an i pod, unsuprisingly none of them could, i'm begining to wonder whether investing on an i pod is really worth it.

FIRSTLY: 940 bucks a pop for a nano 4GB=not very cheap seeing as the zen's 4GB player is 700++

SECONDLY: there's no legal waranty but you have to get it online, how inconvinient is that!

THRID: once the battery dies, as in really dies, your freaking screwed, i mean there's no freaking way you'd be able to get it to work agian except by wiping out the memory and redownload ALL your songs.

FOURTH: you can't ABSOLUTELY can't repair it UNLESS you go to a stupid apple center

*)_(JJHJ^i*^*&^$vjkf^do^de&(%UJGYPI!!!!!!

So anyway, i went to the shop right and i ask this guy, so he says no, but he says you can go to great eastern mall cause there's an apple center there, so i says okay and thanks,

so i walk myself down the floors and i'm heading towards the door right then i think to myself,"Hey, your not busy, you've got time PLENTY of time right, seeing as you got SOOOO MUCH TIME just go to great eastern mall la!!", so i hop into a cab and says to him,"Great Eastern Mall please!!", so i get my ass there paid about 4 bucks and i walk in, so i go straight to the receptionist and i says," Excuse me, where's the apple center?", she stares at me, then she says,"Sorry, we had one but not anymore", BKIO%*&%*^%#eipoufvb!!!!

So anyway, i decided since i got myself there anyway, i might as well stay,

honestly its a pretty dead place, there's really nothing much there, there's a couple of restaurants, starbucks, a few sports shop, a couple of hair dressers and thats bout it, there's hardly anyone there really, personally i think its all really a waste of space, but hey thats just personally, i got myself a frappucino (i think thats how you spell it) and got back,

i suppose i'll try low yat plaza next but meh, abit too lazy to get my ass there.

Was talking to ailin a couple of days ago and i've finally decided on what to get sam and rach, no its not underwear altough that would've been a wicked idea if i had the guts to go into a shop and get ladies lingirie but something more conventional and edible, so 3 guesses to what it is eh.

On another note, i went out with rach, ailin, adam, xilin and hanna the other day and we were fussing on what to watch when adam came up with the greatest idea, instead of bickering on what to watch we'd lat it out, we eventually watched pathfinder, which was a crappy show, but the action sequences where pretty good but anyway, don't watch it in a cinema unless you want blood and more blood and gory scenes, it was funny though cause the girls kept going "OOOHHH O.O" and "NOOO" when someones limb gets chopped off, oh and of course i swallowed a gum, lovely fun eh.

So thats bout it really, i'm still rotting at home, but i'm going back to school tomorrow..wOOhOO,

so till next time....

p.s. 6 days and counting

I feel like a sinking ship, slowly taking in water, too slow for anyone to realise but steady enough.

I was siting around in the buggy in the middle of the golf course today halfly reminising on my really lousy golf game, suddenly, i thought of timothy(quek kai liang-timmy old boy-the one thats in my class which is also a librarian, although you'll prolly never read this hi matie!) and i thought to myself what would he be like in the next 10 years, prolly slightly thinner, shorter hair, grad from med school doing his internship,
then i thought about alex and i saw him as this dude prolly working in some hotel organising dinner functions and all those pretty little gala events you see on tv,
then i thought of what i would be like in 10 years...and i went blank...

Its a scary prospect thinking about your own future, when it comes to other people's its easy, you just say "aw he's gonna be a soso" but to yourself, not that easy, i sometimes think about what i'd be in 10 years, mostly wishful stuff, dreams and hopes.

Starting to pack, *Finally!! what my mum said when i told her*, i've realised that i somehow don't have enough underwear...not a very good prospect especially if your living alone for 9+ months, so i'm gonna go out shopping tomorrow to get me underwear!! and other items which are essential to me, but my ipod's still screwed!! *sigh* i suppose i've gotta get it fixed but where??!!..no apple electronic outlets near my house..*double sigh*

I suppose thats bout it really, i still have to finish packing so till next time...btw wat should i get sam and rach?? suggestions??

Close your eyes,

Dry your tears,

Cause when nothing,

Seems clear,

You'll be safe here,

From the sheer weight,

Of your doubts and fears,

Weary heart,

You'll be safe here.

I was wondering, maybe i'll get one of those bean couches when i get to melbourne, the kinds where you can just sink into and sorta feel like your sorta drowning but in a good way.

Only 10 days till i leave, on a concious level, i am sorta ready,

actually i've been ready for quite sometime now, just waiting on the days to pass really, the thing bout me is you build this sense of detachment,

it happened when i left as vice cap and resigned as pres of the interact club, and you find that you disassociate yourselves from these things rather quickly, if you were me la anyways, i don't know whether its a good thing or not but it just is, it happens all the time, like when people are crying over leaving school and not seeing their friends i didn't really bother, happened in primary school, and its happening again.

Sometimes i wonder why it happens, how can we just let go so easily,

how can i let go so easily, sometimes i don't want to forget and i want to feel what its like to really care for someone or thing and not want it to leave, meh, then again maybe not, sometimes i see people crying when

others leave and to a certain extent i get it, but otherwise i don't,

maybe its cause of the lack of closeness the "no clique" policy that i seem to have, meh, thinking too much again.

Neways i went out with prisham and adam on tues, we watched the guardian, to be honest it was pretty alright, much better than i expected it to be, i wouldn't say its the best la but its pretty alright,

whether its cinema worthy or not its totally subjective, if you like ashton kutcher and seeing his body then go ahead otherwise just get the dvd.

Personally, i just wanted to leave the house, a man can only watch so much tv, got to talk and hang abit which was good,

we ran into carmen while we where there, apparently she's working in a häagen-dazs shop somewhere which was cool, if only she'd tell me where..then i could get free ice-cream =D..mmmm...free ice-cream=D=D.

This actually reminds me of another topic but maybe next time,

neways next on the list: pack pack pack...

I was thinking of really decorating my room when i get there, maybe a couple of sofa's maybe a cofee table, a few lava lamps maybe, meh,

then again i'd prolly be to busy lazy, i've been sorta prepping myself,

basically reading the o levels and a levels books, i tell you the physics is crazy man, what we do here is shit compared to the sums the singaporeans do, no wonder they're so bloody kia su, and boyle's law and charles law (more commonly know as hukum boyle dan charles) is in chem, *sigh* i tell you the malaysian edu system....indescribable.

Neways i think thats bout it,

i'll be going to sam's and rachel's praty so thats bout the last time i'll be here till prolly october (just so ya know =D)

When the light dissappears,

And when this worlds insincere,

You'll be safe here,

When nobody,

Here's you scream,

I'll scream with you,

You'll be safe here.

-You'll be safe here-

Greetings and salutations, i'm back again.

I've been rather busy lately, actually not really la but somewhat busy.

I was back in johor bahru last week for my granpa's 80th birthday, it was a pretty big occasion cause pretty much everyone came,
even my aunt form asutralia came and she brought along her little kids,
actually there not little, actually they're pretty big, actually they're really big, then you got people form s'pore then some from kl, dinner was pretty good but nothing special really, just chinese food,
i COULD put pictures but i'm just to damn lazy..XD.

Just read sarah's blog and i totally agree with her, sometimes we just get caught in a what to say situation,
i mean you want to console your pal but you just don't know how,
then you start thinking what if i say something that might make it worse,
then you start thinking of something else to say,
and then you decide not to say something,
and by the time you decide to say something, he's already alright...
i suppose thats why i don't talk much when someone complains to me.

So everyone's off to college now, at least most of us are,
i feel kinda lonely,
the other day i was in jb and looked at my watch and realised it was 2.30 on a thursday, then i realised that i would be having zab's class if i were at school,
thats when it hit me,
i don't have shool anymore,
at first i felt a sense of liberation but then i realised i missed school,
then i remembered that i do have school,
just at a different place with different people in a foreign land,
and the more i think bout it the more it scares me,
the fact that i'd be alone for 10 months scares me even more,
plus i'm not ready yet, i haven't even got what i need yet..=S

I think australia will really be an experience for me,
not only cause i'm gonna study everything in english,
but cause i'll be alone for 10 months,
you want independence, this is it man,
it don't get any better than this,
prepared or not i'm definitely leaving so...

Well thats that for now..btw I have NOT LEFT YET...
I AM LEAVING ON THE 22 OF JANUARY..22 OF JANUARY 2007!!
