Getting busy?

Many people are wondering what I'm doing back home in Singapore. Well, here's the stuff that's been keeping me busy...and entertained as well. It can get quite boring at home sometimes.



The all new Predator novel - Forever Midnight.


Got myself the complete collector's edition of "Infernal Affairs". Still untouched. Hope it's as good as "The Departed".


The shoes that keep me going. Gotta keep running. NS round the corner.

Gotta keep lifting too. Still can't do a single freakin S.O.B pullup.

and now
featuring...
JAWS 4 or 5


The "Great White Shark" eyes the half eaten guo tie hungrily...waiting to leap up and take a bite.

It took it's chances and took a huge bite... guo tie missing.

The ruthless predator spots another whole guo tie dangling from a crane.... it waits...

...and strikes again! This time the crane isn't spared... as Jaws left it in shambles... with guo tie missing again...
Satisfied from the easy meal, Jaws finally retreats back into the deep waters...


... for a little nappy... zzz...

Agreed

When I was touring Kuching, I met up with a few of Lionel's friends. They are a bunch of nice people. But there was one guy, with a shirt that caught my attention. I think I totally agree with what was displayed on it. Absolute truth.
10 Things Men Understand About Women.

Yup, that's it.

We know nothing.

Sorry ladies.

No offence.

It's the truth.

Kuching

I LOVE KUCHING!
YOU WILL TOO!

This post is FINALLY up and ready! My 2 week trip to Kuching was a total blast. The food was awesome and it was great meeting up with my friends from Perth one last time. I gotta thank Lionel for everything during the 2 weeks. His family was nice enough to let me stay on at their place, and not forgetting the countless times they brought me around Kuching and at the same time making me feel at home. It was nice to meet up with Nick, Brandon, Raymond, Madeleine, Chin Howe, Derek, Jane, Kai, Karen and Adrian... all hail from Kuching (except for Ray). And last but not least, Sarawak Laksa kick's ass! I'm addicted to it! Right now, I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms. Hope to visit Kuching another time, and hopefully spend more time at Damai. Enjoy the pics... you should.. after all that hard work!


All hail the Sarawak Laksa! Crave it!

The not-so-original laksa. Fusion laksa as Lionel calls it.

The Sunday Market. You can find almost anything. From fruits...
...to little fishies...
...and even THIS! Sago worms... yum!


Welcome to Friendship Park.


A nice place for a little stroll.
Can even take a quick shower too!

The Kuching Museum. Think I got the name right.
Lookie what I found. Graphic... indeed.
The nice little park behind the museum. I think it also has a name.
And here we have two silly people running at a painted wall.


Yes. I know.. I know.. Poser.
Me and Cheeky!
My oh my! Just pretend it isn't there.
Damn! The root's taller than me!

Bing! Coffee Company. Love them Red Mango Smoothies..
..love the ambience..
..and love them pictures!


Spooky ain't it?
The Civic Centre that wasn't open for us. @#$%!

Indian Street. How peaceful... unlike daytime.
Now.. who's the cheeky one?

Derek playing with his arsenal of knives.

Oooo.. Nasty!

And here we have Damai Beach.
The Resort that I failed to stay in.
Pretty place. Sigh.


Look at those two kids (Lionel & Derek) racing each other down.
Damai Lagoon.
It's a pity I could not take a pic of that pretty girl at the pool.
Around the lobby, cuz that's as far as security permits us to go.

The Place that houses the Cat Museum. Yes, it also has a name.

Kittens up for grabs!
View from the top.

A FEW pictures "stolen" from Raymond.

Looking back.

The Year 2006.


2006. What a year it has been. My wonderful experience studying in Perth will never be forgotten. After all the ups and downs in this roller coaster ride, I've seen and been through things that have changed me entirely. I view things in a different way now. Hopefully this change is for the better.

Love was taken from me. Stolen. Snatched. Lost. I've learnt to let go and move on. I thought it would have killed all that's left of me. It ripped me apart and sliced right through me. Like a hot knife through butter. But there was something that kept me going. My friends. I would sound selfish if I didn't say my family was involved, they have also guided me through. Even my wonderful friends back home made an impact. But it was my friends in Perth that pulled me up. I've mentioned many names, and there's no need for me to repeat it as they know who they are. This tragedy has made me stronger as a person. I hope. That's what many people say. But I really hope it has happened for a reason.



Besides this incident, I've had many, many happy times in Perth. As friends, we've gone through thick and thin and have pulled through till the end... together. It has definitely made us stronger as friends and this bond cannot be replaced. Same goes for the friends back home in Singapore. I can never forget all the good times we had.




Memories in Perth will be kept and treasured. Like the first time we met each other in orientation. It felt just like yesterday. I miss the times when we all came together for dinner parties and gatherings. The times when we had our countless badminton adventures. Our drinking parties. The many birthday celebrations and BBQ outings. Our break sessions in the recreation centre. The fun chit chat times in the library when we were supposed to be studying quietly. The awesome sleepovers and hanging out in the city. The high speed (and reckless) driving and drag racing. Everything is special to me, and I'm sure the same goes for everyone else.


Last of all, it's great to be back. I love my family, my friends and my life. To have you guys in my life is the best thing that has happened to me this year. Thank you everyone. May you have a blessed year ahead. Good luck and all the best!


Peace out.
