A total loss.. I didn’t know actually why I was at Kandy (Party event) last night. It was the virgin trip to a club in Aussie here.. Wasn’t really impressed with it, resulting in walking around Chinatown when all shops are closed.. Nothing interest me, and off I go with my wheels.. Drove around city for a while under the bed of stars, with the road as empty as what I was feeling..

An article to share..

A choice that confronts everyone at every moment is this: Shall we permit our fellow to know us as we now are, or shall we remain enigmas, wishing to be seen as person we are not?

This choice has always been available, but through our history we have chosen to conceal our authentic being behind masks.

We camouflage our true being before others to protect ourselves against criticism or rejection. This protection comes at a steep price. When we are not truly known by the other people in our lives, we are misunderstood. When we are misunderstood, especially by family and friends, we join the “lonely crowd.” Worse, when we succeed in hiding our being from others, we tend to lose touch with our real selves.

Came back to change into my soccer attire and surprising saw a parcel lying on the table with my name on it!! It’s always exciting to see parcels!! Who can it be?!?? Who can it be?!?! Ran through my mind a dozen of times before I set on the side of my bed and opened it.

A book from Stella.. The message struck me. It pulled me back to what I was feeling a couple of months ago.. Somewhat I could empathize with her.. An aura seemed to surround the little black card.. Sorrow. Bitter..

This strange feeling.. Devoured me..

~Hope your days had already brighten up by the time this parcel reached me.. =)

Finished my last paper today.. Wanted to stand up and follow Charmayne when I see her leave!! But she is jus unbelieveably fast in finishing her paper..

I was pretty excited when I walked out of the examination hall, a feeling as though my feets get lifted off the ground and I start to walk on thin air and eventually take off.. It was all illusion..

I need to adapt again, this time all schedules seemed useless and I can do whatever I like! I need to fill my empty slots!! Let me start with my “To-do” list..

Eh... No more walking to GP south with Charmayne ar?? hahahwhahha Have you learnt the way now??

Ps: Thanks guys for all the SMSs from Singapore. Lifted me!

Still remembering, 2 years ago Fathers’ Day was my BMT visiting day. Though I admit it wasn’t a gruelling time in BMT, it was still special for my parents to go all the way to Tekong just to see me. Really appreciate it much.

Today, I called home to wish my dad a happy fathers’ day. It was a mere 10 min conversation, but strangely I felt a sense of joy during the conversation. Although we’ve not seen each other for these months, but I felt we’ve gotten closer.

HAPPY FATHERS’ DAY TO ALL!!

Dramatic Morning

I was in dreamland lying on the fine sand, enjoying the rays from the morning sun that warms me from within. Out of nowhere a familiar ring tone disturbed the tranquillity that was occupied with waves splashing and flapping of the seagulls wings.

The sand turns out to be me cannot-make-it bed, and the heat comes from the heater. Charmayne appears on my LCD of hand phone at 0733 hrs. Huh?! Thought she’s having a paper at 8? Still so free to revenge for yesterday’s sms?

Clint officially became a character in the drama queen’s episode. She is having a paper at 8 and she is stranded with the first bus arriving only at 8++. Here goes.. Slipped into my favourite berms and off I go.. Seriously I do not know the street names here, and where to find her.. No known prominent points. Hmm.. Luckily the road was clear and found her with little effort.

She looked cool sitting at the bus stop, flipping her notes. But I can actually feel the anxiety she was feeling, her poor heart must be beating real hard for the morning. Wanted to suan her max la.. but then think better not provoke her further if not can feel her knuckles on my chest. After all drama, tension, anxiety and cold feets, objective is met with 7 min to spare. See her walk towards the exam hall donning her white jacket and boots, compared to my flimsy top and slippers. I am shivering!! But glad we made it.. =)

Hope you smash the paper!! You better, with all my sleep time and risky driving!!

27 million won!!

A whopping AUD$27 000 000!!!!!

YEAH!!! I got myself a gold lotto ticket (similar to ToTo in Singapore) after we had lunch in Chinatown. It cost me a good 20 over bucks and I was cursing the cost of it. Now, every cent is worth it!! It was just casual and never did I think I could have won!!! OMFG!!

3. Pay for all the packages for the ski trip and upgrade all to suits. (I'll be as happy as him!)

4. Start looking at cars.. I want a MR 2 GT!!

5. Buy the apartments along Brisbane river and let all my friends stay there!

6. Move to the Conrad Treasury tonight!!

7. Buy a house at gold coast!!

8. Buy a yacht!

9. Pay all my sch fees, all the way to PhD

Friend: “Time to wake up Clint.. We going GP south study, you want to go??”
Me: “Sure!! Let me just end this joke” (Cheeky smile drawn across the face)
