Study week Year4 Sem1
It’s study week right now and I’m mucho mugathons in the school library almost everyday. I say almost because when I have to I steal a day out at Starbucks and do the freeze my butt out at 8am deal. My new laptop is really quite nice to use, but not really sure about the camera function. Nevertheless, I’m still gonna put it to good use. My hair is getting long again, so we’ll see what happens this time. In other news, the bedroom is finally repacked and I’m almost ready for the holidays.
I have made some mental mindmap of the things I’m going to do this holiday. Thats how we pull through the toughest times of the year, by dreaming! Haha. I’m blogging right now with 3 layers of Joyce Lim creams on my face. Rockers. Skin, is like the most important thing on earth, because fuck you everyone’s ugly inside. The least you can do is to not be that transparent about your ugliness. Sad, but that’s life.
School life is coming to an end. I’m damn old, I realised that I look like a freaking kid but hello I’m almost 25 what is this. I’m so not ready for anything serious omg omg omg. I’m in year 4, i’m an honours year student. And yesterday, just seems like JC just came and gone! Thank god NS is a total mindblank for now. If I ever were to recall it, Haha, nothing nice would come out of my mouth.
Right now all I can think about is getting a drink, sleeping in bed, dressing up for a party. This spells the end of my education life yeah baby it’s time to start living! And boy will you watch me live it! Let’s throw some money in the sky!

Perth Diaries
If I would being telling the stories of Perth again, it would begin right here in Brookleigh Estate. I know that I left and I came back and nobody knew exactly why I left and when I came back but I did. And then so quickly, I picked up the pace of home and though blessed with the snippets of thoughts that reminded me of the escape, I did not exactly share the entire experience of the getaway. But I thought today, I’ll start archiving some of the nice things that made me feel happy whilst I was there.
So somewhere in the middle of the journey, I am at Brookleigh Estate and as I remember it, the smell of mornings and the sight of well groomed horses were awesome. Think waking up to about 8 to 12 degrees in the winter. The skies were almost always perfect. The oranges in the courtyard were glowing and fresh. The grass was green like spring awaiting. The friends and I, we’ll take the car and we’ll head out to explore the farms, the factories, the wineries, snack shacks. There was a large amount of freedom that only being situated in a time and place like that could really make you feel it.
We got the chance to see a horse competition going on as well when young riders brought their little horses and did tricks with them afterwhich the horses and the riders would both get grades. So you see, in Singapore we compete over things like cars and getting licenses and achievements. In a somewhat similar fashion, but only with a different lifestyle to it, the people here try really hard to get an A stamp on their horses and become certified riders. Moreover, no one really talks about cars because here, everyone seems to own land !
So much for that difference in the logic of comparable ’success’ or the apparentness of the power of heritage and family capital, I was still very intrigued by the simpleness of life lived here. I guess every culture has got its own ways of emphasizing what matters. It was just nice to be away for awhile. And till the next Perth Daries update, here are some pictures…enjoy!

Oranges, how cute are they?
A fine steed and of course, I had to be in it! 
Love the trees and the pathway

About Me
Today I clicked Edit on my Facebook profile and deleted the box “About Me”. I then spent 2 hours trying to think what to write ‘about me’. It’s either I really have too much time today or I really have nothing to say about myself right now. I will be spending the rest of today trying to write a few versions and see what I can come up with.
I think it is interesting what people write. It’s like a snippet of life in a box, and sometimes we judge people by those very words, sad to say… By tonight, I will figure out a way to capture my Ontology, Epistemology and Methodology of life. In layman’s words, that means, my worldview/general life perspective, what is evidence of my worldview and the way I live/practice living life.
Wish me luck in finding myself !

Thoughts about upbringing
They say upbringing plays a large part in who you become and grounds you to reality. Today talking to my mom, I am reminded of all the good things we shared. My parents have aspirations for me but at the end of the day, all they really want me to be, is to be human. “You will be single and you don’t need so much money. Why don’t you find something that will make you happy? You don’t need a job that pays so much, just good enough to take care of yourself,” she said to me. “Find something interesting that you’ll like to do. Keep some time for family and relaxing.”
And as I sat beside her, she was playing with her puzzle game and I just felt like these words really are telling me to stay true to the values my parents want me to have. Love something. Love yourself. Love your family.
In many ways, I have taken on the traits of both my mom and my dad. From my dad, I have some essence of selflessness, some overly ocd traits like the need for schedules, structures, neatness. From my mom, I have picked up the virtue of patience, silences in disagreements, eccentric and youthful view of life. I’ll never have a family like this, I dont think it can be replaced or anything comes close. Everyone has their own versions of family and I’m sure its equally meaningful.
Along the way in life, I may have misinterpreted them and how I should be a high achiever in life. But at the end of it all, all they really want for me, is to be a good responsible person. Responsible for myself and for the things and people I care about, being there for them as much as they have been there for me. People who are not close to their parents will never understand the meaning of these words.
We lose precious time chasing our dreams. That’s what society and community wants us to do. And all of this time that we’re striving for some self-imposed goals, I want to remind myself that it’s really hard to turn back time. I didn’t get the job that I thought was my ‘dream’ job. But then like I always believe in the mysterious workings of ‘fate’, there’s always reason for everything that happens in life. I really want to spend more time with my family before all of this vanishes. And then, I’m really left with nothing.

Hmmm.
I feel abit faint and dizzy. I think I’m really afraid of the future. I’m feeling abit uneasy. People are always very positive about the future and talk about things like hope and new beginnings. I don’t really understand whether it’s just me but there’s so much that’s hard to leave behind.
So fast so soon. So fast… so soon…

Tiring Day
It’s the end of the week finally. After slogging for hours and hours and yes maybe I’m exaggerating but no one like work really. I am at home now and all I can think about is falling flat into my nice bed and blasting aircon and sleeping. That’s what I’m gonna do in a bit. I just can’t think of anything right now and my brain needs a real breather. I’m living a meaningless life trying to make best everyday by enjoying the bits here and there. I’m tired today and by tomorrow I should be better. I left school with a throbbing headache because I only had 4 hours of sleep yesterday. For reasons that cannot be stated here, I don’t know what I have learnt in the past years in university.
Sociology. What does it really mean?

Waiting and Breaking
Waiting and waiting, its got me breaking
The afternoon’s a silence.
And I know I’m always good at this.
Setting myself up for the perfect letdown.
Or maybe I’m a level 8 investor rating sort – ready to win big and ready to lose big.
I need to sleep and not think or process anything for these few days.
I really shouldn’t think about anything right now.
I just need to convince myself to believe in fate or some larger world order.

Halloweeen boo!
Halloween 2009 was started off with a dinner and drinks at KenKK’s house, and everything was orangey cause of the candle flames! I tried to re-adjust some colours in these pictures taken by Leo. It’s really been ages since I’ve been out so I was really thrilled to enjoy the weekend.
Here are some pictures of our “scary” halloween with “scary” itunes mp3 music which KenKK downloaded haha. Oh yes, I couldn’t take it anymore and sent my hair straight to the chopping board AGAIN. It’s too hard and too hot to keep long hair really.
After dinner, we headed off to the clubs and met my old friends! All in party gear! 
Ben is giving me a pat for being a good boy all year boo!
So which sailor would you like to take home?
