FLY AWAY TO SYD
on the journey to Sydney.

4 years in Sydney is an awefully long time.
Catch me before I fly away, cause I'm having the time of my life.
Friends come and go, but the close ones never part irregardless of the distance.

party, party, & party


tht's right, this is my activity for the whole week. exams are finally over! :D well, sad to say, my birthday is over too. it was on monday. and i spent it with an exam paper and i got drunk. went drinking at harry's with sai and gary. gary was in a paying mood and we drank quite a lot. by the time i got home at 9, i was smashed. knocked out for more than 2 hours and i almost forgot to cut my birthday cake!! seriously, i cant even remember wht i wished for my birthday. SHUCKS.


hmphs. the closing party in the library was great. good atmosphere and great people makes the trip worthwhile. at least i can safely say tht my 6 months stint at unsw asia is worth it cause i met a bunch of great friends. YAY. well, if you're one of them, i hope u're happy reading this. haha. [pretty lame]


took lots of pictures yesterday, and i'm set to take more the next few days. BUT the only down point is tht i dno when i'm able to develop/upload the photos. cause i've never done it before and i think its a hassle. :


been doing some reading these few days. reading pride and prejudice. and every time i read bout elizabeth bennet, i will naturally think of keira knightley. so pretty and gorgeous. :) been thinking quite a bit recently too. one of my friend commented that i'm the type of person tht is nvr afraid of failing the exams cause i alwasys get good results. hmphs. i think tht its because i'm always happy with 2nd best results and i always do just enough to get it. hahas. tht's why i've nvr been the best in any studies.


alright, tht's all for now. back to my book and drama serials. been missing a lot cause of late nights out. SHEESH.


i'm like a horse in the safari, enjoying the freedom bestowed upon me.

some people just cant stop harping on the clause 3 of the "22k letter of offer". hmphs. my view is that you should just sign it and stop procastinating. nothing is free in the world, and if you really want your degree, then just grab the money and fly to sydney. how can you get your degree if you fail your modules?? so, wht's the big deal bout clause 3? sheesh.


right, so everyone been asking how's the exams going? i'll just say its passable. definitely wont fail!! :D haven actually been studying though. cause all the exams are open book. so i dont really have to do anything. i'll rather plan for birthday and shopping. haha. :))


finally got my visa done. but i'm now on the waiting list for my air ticket. how screwed is this??


hmphs. something interesting to note. i read the news yesterday and the government or the ministry of education wants the tanglin plot of land to be returned the way it was. what a joke! after upgrading the place, you want them to return the place the way it was ruined?? hahas. tht means tearing down the library and removing other stuffs. the government really has no brains. free upgrade and you dont want it. i really have no comments. :

shucks. i havent been doing much recently. sleeping shopping and eating. i'm too lazy to even come online!! a lot has been happening recently. i just hope that my visa application runs smoothly because there is a hiccup/confusion recently. hoping i would be able to get it ready in the next 10 days. have been praying very hard for it. :/ please pray for me soon.


i did lots shopping. now, i'm all set to go australia. my accomodation is almost settled too. :D i have to really start studying even though i dont have the mood. drinking red wine while preparing to start burning midnight oil. i'm forcing myself to stay up the whole night and study for boring boring accounting. AND, i must have enough energy for church tmrr. haha. this is a tough one.


i met up with a few of my jc friends recently, and all they talked about is NATIONAL SERVICE. gosh. have a life. i'm so hoping they get over this phrase soon. :/

oh my goodness!! go look at wht nick wrote on his blog, http://lazynick.blogspot.com.
its outrageous. sheesh.


00:26

it's amazing how one day can turn me around and set me back on my studying mode. suddenly, i've found a new motivation to pick up my books again. but i should refrain from starting with accounting 1A, lest i get demoralized. haha. basically, i've been sleeping and shopping the past few days. not forgetting, i caught some virus from my mom, making me sick. AMAZING - how sleeping so much can cause you to be ill.


did some of my shopping for sydney. made a new frame-less specs, bought 2 spring coats for winter. [on top of those tht i'll be borrowing from some of my friends : ] will post the pictures up when i'm free. AND i'm getting 3 pairs of ecco shoes/boots. enough to last me for more than the 3 yrs tht i'm there. haha. i think i've spent enough, though i seriously need new pants and t-shirts. eeks. OH, i've also gotten myself a new camera!! :)) - a gift from my uncle. seems like i've really spent a lot in 2 days.


i've decided to live by a few guidelines in sydney!
1. No Smoking
2. No Drugs
3. No Sex
4. Try not to get drunk.
easy to remember, hopefully i'll live by it!! BUT my mom just reminded me tht these guidelines seemed a little vague. HAHA. we'll see, and improvise.

get your facts right!


i was reading the straits times - home section today on youths perception of the closure of my school. some of the comments werent even true. there was one who said tht we were getting scholarships to go over, making us scholars. i mean, get your facts right. obviously you havent been reading the papers often enough to know tht we are not getting scholarships, just compensation and living expenses. so how does tht make us scholars? AND wht makes u think we dont have the potential to become scholars? sheesh. another person commented tht the government does not think highly of local unis cause they are attracting foreign unis to come over. well, if singapore unis were tht great, then why are u studying in a foreign uni? obviously you are not in a postion to make tht comment! tsk tsk. by the way, its not tht i'm against local unis, its just tht i dont like the local education system.


i think the special report on wednesday will make things worse. but then again, how bad can it get? some students are planning to sue the school. i just hope tht you are able to weigh your options carefully. :/

the time now reads 3.10am, and i still have yet to complete my essay and the bibliography. oh wells, i'm just going to sleep and finish up the conclusion in the afternoon. HA!


hmphs, i just saw the news and there will be a report on UNSW Asia on wednesday night, channel news asia. be sure to catch it, because i'm dying to know wht students in my sch and the media thinks of this whole fiasco. its not tht i'm devoid of feelings, but my anger and disappointment have subsided. although only been 1 and 1/2 weeks since tht fateful day, its time for everyone to move on. no point lingering on when there is nothing much to be done. i do agree tht we should demand for answers to wht has happened, but more important are the solutions. it is important tht we do not jeopardise our future for the sake of something tht might not even matter much in the next half of our lives.


i cant wait to go for my winter clothes shopping. hopefully i can get a new pair of shoes from ecco too!! and a new bag, cause my brown bag doesn seem so lasting. haha. amelia said tht there is someone in church who is very suitable for me. BUT too bad i'm going to sydney. haha. i'm curious to know wht sort of guy has she in mind for me!! exciting. too bad, chances are i might not meet him since i'm leaving soon.
count down: 36 days before i board the plane. :D


not forgetting, there's a countdown to my birthday too. but, i will be spending it with andrew tan! cause i have his paper tht day. : wht a party popper!

lada lada lada :D


i realised that the layout of my blog doesn't really suit me. firstly, it's pink. it's not tht i dislike pink, but this colour doesnt represent me. secondly, there are 4 "love" words on it, which was totally unintended for. haha. but overall, the collage is great - messy yet enticing. since i reactivated this blog primarily due to the fact tht i'm heading for sydney, i shall update you on some facts.


reasons to why i'm heading for sydney:
1. escape from the singapore system which i've suffered for 12 long years.
2. overseas experience.
3. do a double degree (but i may change it to a double major now - how ironic!)
4. erica? [haha]


wishlist for sydney:
1. money to buy winter clothes
2. ipod nano 4gb
3. camera
4. new bag
5. webcam


details bout sydney:
i'll be leaving on the 10th july, 830pm flight - SQ221. my good friend, erica, will be picking me up from the airport. thereafter, she will be my tour guide, and i will also be staying at her place until i find my own accomodation. i'll be finding a 3-room apartment with 2 other guys, darren and ivan. wht's wrong with staying together with guys? NOTHING. guys are easier to get along with, and they can take care of me if anything happens. we are trying to find one tht is near the beach, yet walking distance from the school. tht would be the perfect lifestyle! haha. i'm going there with lots of friends, so it'll be one big reunion when we get there. :D


in short, the closure of the school may be seen as a blessing in disguise for me. tho the same could not be said of some. this twist of events 1 week ago has left many stranded and confused. at the end of the day, this incident has taught me to look at my friends in a different angle and i was able to see how they react in times of emergency.AND, i also understand myself a lot better now. :)) in any case, i'm looking forward to sydney (but not its winter)! LOL.

i was just talking to rafael online the other day, and something struck me. over the past two years, i have changed quite a fair bit. it seemed like he didn change much. haha. thinking back, i guess i'm more open and honest with myself now. i definitely feel happier now than i was in sec school. the heavy burden on me has gradually lightened, and i feel as though i can breathe easily. maybe the burden has always been there, but i've learned to live with it. maybe i'm still running away from it. i dno. :/ in any case and if need be, the trip to sydney allows me for an escape.




i was reading my old (inactive) guestbook last night, and i realised how much i missed these people. the long posts reminds me of all the happy times i've had, not forgetting the sad times. haha. i cant even remember some of those people who has written on my gbk before. this is terrible!! and i cannot believe my eyes when i read my old entries. thinking back, it seems so hilarious. :) can i find back the naive side of me again?




everyone has a past, and a dark side that should be hidden forever.


02:41

I'm back!!


after staying away from the blogging scene for 2 years, i've decided to make a comeback. it is also partly because i'm relocating to sydney in bout a month's time, and this will help my friends keep in touch with me again. :) CHEERS. i took only one night to 'redesign' my blog, but i'm pretty sad cause signmyguestbook.com is invalid. therefore, you people can only use the tagboard. no more writing of super long msges for me to read and reminise. argh.


alright, i'm supposed to be writing my essay now. the word count still stands at 2000 words left. which means, i havent touched one single bit, and its due on monday. WONDERFUL. i'm too tired to write, cause i only had 4 hours of sleep last night. oh wells. :/
