and to all, a blessed new year!

my trusty 8210 is gone forever! darn sad. it may be primitive but don't you dare underestimate its ability. its an awesome phone. well at least its alot faster than 8310. oh well. i guess this heralds a new beginning? hopefully so.

the new year is here and i'm as flustered as always. homework left undone, revision left unchecked, worksheets left unfiled, cupboards left unorganised. i'm been stuck in such deep shit for so long a time i can't remember the smell of fresh air! yeh. sorry pple, haven't been keeping this place updated. been really busy with really mundane stuff that would probably lull you all to sleep. as if you don't know what its like anyway. all hail the education system man! bleah.

home sweet home! boy am i glad to be home. still, even tho the weather in melbourne is eratic, i still miss it. sweating like nobody's buisness here. even tho melbourne's horribly overpopulated with retarded flies, i still miss it. tried swatting a mosquito in my toilet today, but to no avail. sigh. i miss melbourne so very much. miss the weather. miss the food. miss the buildings. miss my friends. i guess returning back to singapore was all in due time. 17 days away from home and my comfy bed is a tad long. still, it felt more like crashing back to reality than anything else. melbourne is so different from singapore yet i felt so at home there. maybe it helps that i have relatives there, and perhaps its because the population of asians there is considerably higher than other non-asian countries. but its something about the culture, the whole scene there, physical and spiritual, that makes me feel relaxed and enthralled. i guess i needed some time away from home, away from everthing. i needed to clear my mind. now i feel refreshed.

went to watch we will rock you yesterday. great music! punk hair, punk clothes, punk music, punk jokes. totally rocks dude! sweet. its basically a really unconventional musical based on queen's chart toppers. had the element of a rock concert in it. was really cool.

i've paid my dues
time after time
i've done my sentence
but committed no crime
and bad mistakes
i've made a few
i've had my share of sand
kicked in my face
but I've come through

we are the champions my friend
we'll keep on fighting till the end
we are the champions
we are the champions
no time for losers
cos we are the champions
of the world!!!!!!

melbourne's great. really enjoying myself. could be better if
1. the weather would just make up its mind
2. the sun weren't so darn scorching even when its so friggin cold
3. there weren't so many houseflies
4. my cranky camera could resurrect
5. the dingy dryer would stop shriking my clothes

but apart from that, like i've said, melbourne's great. the food's delicious, the people here are fun, the chocs are heavenly and you can play soccer for one whole afternoon without sweating a drop. sweet.

anyway, just visited jae's blog and saw all those pics of pple in yellow having a wonderful time at youth camp. darn. wish i could have been there. bet you guys had lots of fun. :)
