1 year, 6 months and 2 weeks.... the time it takes a heart to grow and wither away.
I love you New, but we just cant make the distance.
Take care of yourself, cos i cant be there to do it anymore.

new left yesterday... and i'd be lying if i told you i didnt cry at all.
im listening to rogue traders- what you're on, and i refuse to succumb! i will commit!
my commitment is to fly to bangkok as many times as possible!
i was lucky the ring i bought New arrived in time before she left... you see, i bought a mood ring for her after we watched 'the happening'. if you dont know what a mood ring is, it is a ring which changes color as your mood changes.
hopefully she wont lose it.... :)
i miss her already, especially her smell.

ghosts.... spirits....
the hype of 40 devenish street....
bullshit? or real? scientific explaination??
What if.... ghosts, are actually real people, captured in a time fabric? stuck in replay?
im wondering what everyone is going to do after university, where are they gonna go?? myself, im heading to san francisco after army... to the Academy of Arts, for a master in fine arts! if anyone is interested in attending in 2010 fall, please let me know.... they offer graphic design to fashion to movies like pixar animation etc....
just watched "the happening" today.... not too great, but the concept is great none the less, and keeps you thinking.... i like films like that. every civilisation has a fall. Egypt, Mayan civilisations, even Rome. All great empires, long gone.
What if our civilisation is going to fall? what if we dont stop polluting our environment? people always think.... "oh this thing will sort itself out..." "we'll invent spaceships to colonise other planets..."
Technically, yes.... it will sort itself out... the polar caps will melt, cities will flood, millions will die... (sound familiar)? and when enough people has died to reduce pollution, nature sorts itself out. then this will be the fall of OUR globalized civilisation.

The long deserved holiday..... gone wrong.
lets break it down..... Xing, Kelvin, Brian, Joe, Jo, Tania. NS,NS,NS,NS, Work,Work.
No one left in Perth.
Brother decided to come to perth on dec 14.
I am.... stuck in between.... if i stay in singapore, i will not be able to meet my friends everyday as they have NS or work. and my family isnt there.
If i stay in perth, i wont be able to see my friends at all.... and will miss the singapore food.
what do i do..... being confronted with the most boring holidays ever....
furthermore i might have to do summer school, and NS is looming around the corner.... fucking sucks.... its like im stuck on train tracks and no one can save me..... going head on into the damn train.
basically, to sum it up, I cant meet the friends i wanna meet enough, and i cant spend enough time with my brother. I deserve 3 months of holidays, but i just might get 1. i dont even know if the 3 months one would be nice.... because everyone is too busy....

Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Chan-Chu..... But I think it's Colin

Some quotes to ponder on; -Frank Herbert
-
Much that was called religion has carried an unconscious attitude of hostility toward life. True religion must teach that life is filled with joys pleasing to the eye of God, that knowledge without action is empty. All men must see that the teaching of religion by rules and rote is largely a hoax. The proper teaching is recognized with ease. You can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensations which tells you this is something you've always known.
-
Think you of the fact that a deaf person cannot hear. Then, what deafness may we not all possess? What senses do we lack that we cannot see and cannot hear another world all around us?
-
Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly toward aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern. And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class — whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy.
-
Good government never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery. The most important element of government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders.
- House Harkonnen
Discovery is dangerous… but so is life. A man unwilling to take risk is doomed never to learn, never to grow, never to live.
-
Only those with narrow minds fail to see that the definition of impossible is "Lack of imagination and incentive."
-
It has often been said that it is better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven. This is defeatist talk: I intend to rule everywhere, not just in Hell.
The Titan Agamemnon
(i like this one.... it shows lucifer is really a defeatist)
