This was a long time ago, but I remember going home from school one day and switching on the TV for an afternoon of fun. I cannot be more than ten. A show was coming on, British by the looks of it. The first image I remember from the show was that of a train pulling away from a station. The shot then changed into the interior, where we were introduced to two brothers and two sisters, on their way

Day before Mendoza, end of official trip

2005-12-14T13:13:00.000+08:00

Not much updates simply due to the insane amount of drinking and partying that goes on around here. If we were not at the club, we were drinking three dollar wines at the fourth floor pool area, making sure that if we do not sleep, no one else can. The trip itself was certainly fun, with the visits to the vineyard and the copper mine a particular highlight. The latter was especially interesting,

Santiago

2005-12-06T10:31:00.000+08:00

After approximately thirty hours traveling, we finally touched down at Santiago International Airport. The long trip was made all the more excitable by the uncertainties of making our connecting flight at Buenos Aires due to a three hour delay taking off from KLIA. Apparently, a new ruling came into effect at the start of the month requiring all PRCs who's transisting South Africa to have a visa

First she got this. For those in the know, you should know what a big deal this is. For those not in the know, well, its a big deal. A guy got it for her. I look at it in her room and still can't believe its actually there. Who would do such a thing? Truly, love is blind... Or sweet.

Well, now that the annual depression is over, I have to start facing life as a quarter centenarian. Crossed the magic marker last Thursday, a week which itself was only remarkable in that the project report after compilation was as atrocious as only a few others I have encountered before in my entire school life. Convoluted sentence structure that goes nowhere, repetitions of terms, inconsistent

Havens

The psalm that you refer to. It speaks of shelter, of seeking refuge. Are you looking for a haven? After the beatings and tribulations of the last week? A place to rest, where you can be yourself, confide in someone, perhaps even a shoulder to cry on, a sympathetic ear to listen to your pains.Can I ever be your haven?

2005-10-01T01:27:00.000+08:00

The thought came to me on a rainy day. The bus was making its way down the road towards Borders where I was going on a Thursday afternoon to purchase the latest readings. On the second floor, there was only a couple to the back; I don't have to describe what they are doing here. No sound blared from the speakers above me and the images on the plasma screen went ahead with their silent motions

A note? Part II

2005-09-28T23:10:00.000+08:00

Well, what was I to expect? Certainly let my imagination got away with it for a while...... But like she said, at least we are talking again. Things have certainly changed a lot since then. Yet, I can't find it in my heart to let go. This will probably make things worse in the future but...I guess this explains a lot.

Stomp

2005-09-27T23:38:00.000+08:00

Surprisingly good acoustics was marred by the less than enthusiastic crowd. The act itself has certainly aged less well than I recall. While sitting next to the speakers made for an interesting aural experience, the energy emitted was limited and lacking.Ultimately? Disappointing if you've seen them before. But if it is your first time, there is nothing quite like it out there.

At Carl's Jr, even the topics discussed is bigger.It was surprising how many people turned up in school after the previous night/morning's activites but that's the nature of this school (or at the very least, its students) So I met you, you, you and you who decided to ask me out for dinner.Over dinner, we discussed many issues close to our heart. I decide to tell you a few things which I've

Why do we hope for things that can never be yours

2005-09-26T23:23:00.001+08:00

Because we are only human.Because without it, what else do we have but despair?Because there is no resolution.Because we don't want to give up hope.Because maybe, just maybe, the feelings will be reciprocated one day.

A Presentation

2005-09-22T00:34:00.000+08:00

That I left till the last minute and cost me three sleepless nights.That a student praised as very good, containing lots of information and the presenters knowing their stuff well.That the prof said was one of the most detailed he had ever seen. It wasn't that good really.That was full of cold jokes. That fell flat.That's finally over. With the next one exactly one week later.

Even though you could never comfort me, even though when you didn't know what to do, I still treated you as a very good friend. We talked long hours, we hung out. There were moments of coldness, but we got over that.Until you told things I told you in trust to the ONE person you

Fear of each other?We talked at the end of things. For moment, it seemed that the time between us slipped away and it was as if things had never been. You smiled, I laughed, we had a good time.

Long time ago, when my best friend last came back to Singapore, I had a long conversation with him. He had just left earlier in that year for his degree in the States, leaving me and the rest of us in National Slavery. On that bus trip, we talk about drugs, music and inevitably, the fairer sex. Of particular interest was how he found the philosophy section in Borders a great place to pick up

Talking to you, I never know what to say, what is proper and what are taboo.We were close once, very close. But the distance between us now, that still take getting used to. There would be the occasional time you need help, and I jump at every opportunity to serve. Then there

While home was welcome, there has been a slight dissonance between things before I left and things since I came back.

First of all, a correction. It was Jokhang Temple, not the Potala Palace that I visited yesterday. There is a difference between temples and monasteries in Tibet; the former are places of worship for the public while the latter are places where monks can meditate and study in peace. Jokhang temple is located in the middle of what is commonly termed as 'old Lhasa', the really charming part of town

Symptoms includes breathlessness, headaches, spells of dizziness and in more serious cases, constant vomiting and even coma, leading to death.

Quarrels, fights, stomping, erratic behavior on the verge of psychotic, even an attempted robbery and highway chase at night. Not to say that it was all bad though. Most of us had a good time.

Not enough action. I'm sorry Lee Ang, your movie was good but it lacks enough action. I would have thought that The Hulk would be a simple property to bring to the big screen compared to all the other Marvel properties like Spiderman and X-men. The movie was pretty dozy at parts, the hulk dogs were crappy (come on! Killer french poodles...) and the final fight was fake and contrived. CGI was okay

800 pages of exposition. That's my take on Order of the Phoenix. Not that it's not any good, but frankly, it lacks the omph of the last four books. Not to say that it wasn't interesting. The surest sign of a good story is when you start to feel with the characters. And I cared about Harry. About how he hasn't had a single decent day in this book. About how he is getting all so angsty. About how

Climb up Bukit Timah Hill today as training for Nepal. Stupid stairs... I can take a hike but climbing stairs is just not my cup of tea. Plus the fact that I'm seriously out of shape. Really need to lose the tummy soon. Jun recommended that we go to Pelapas next week for a change of scenery. There's only so many paths in BTH for us to play with. Pelapas will also be tougher so that's a plus. See

Went to the zoo yesterday. The place just keeps getting better and better. Tech was so delighted and intrigued by the sight of monkeys roaming around freely. The open concept worked really well I must say. Truly one of the few places in Singapore one can be truly proud of.

When there is a conflict, the parties involved have two routes to a resolution. 1.They can sort things out amicably. 2.They ride roughshod over one another.

9th day of the 6th month of the 3rd year into the new millennium. Work your mind around that one. Went to Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon with Tech today. Sentosa had certainly gone downhill during the lat few years. Stuff there are really old and decrepit now. Really hope the current revamp will suceed in injecting new life into that island. On to entertainment news, Pixar has done it

Alright, ver 1.0 of the blog is finally up and running. Manage to get all the windows working and settled in their ideal positions. Will be working on the other asthetics aspects of the blog in the coming days.

Weirdest thing happened today. Sister goes onto IRC, random channel by the name of #lomo. Guys starts talking to her, shows her his fotolog. Turns out guy is brother's school mate. What are the chances of that happening? Like I said, weird... For those moments when the simple 'Oh oh' alert of ICQ from the laptop is not enough to embarass your friend's presentation, there's now this And oh, be

And a New Blog is Born!!! *cue fanfare* Yes, after much delay, hewing and hemming, I've finally managed to sit down and start my own blog. Now to cross my fingers and hope this turns out better than the last time I tried to kept a diary...... Life has been good. My girlfriend is here with me. After five long months of seperation (thank you SARS), she's finally here from Thailand! Happy days are
