here i am, sitting in front of this computer, thinking of what to type next, planning wat topics to share, eating Kuay Lapis... hmmm... it's been awhile again.. haha! guess u could say i've been busy at work, busy applying for my studies next year. btw, for all who never knew, i'm not currently studying now... but will hopefully do it next year. looking in TAFE, a Australian "hands-on" type school, for those who dun really like studying, something like ITE plus Poly.. without too much essays, and lectures...

so yea.. looking into electrical! YAY! to become a fully qualified electrician so that i'll get a steady income, career, and best of all, work at my own time, my own leisure... then i can SERVE God on sats and suns... haha! yea.. i believe this might be where doors are opening up for me. i can feel peace thinking about it.. though there may be uncertainties at some point of times.. .but im sure in no matter wat i do, Daddy-God will be there for me, carrying me thru, supporting me... so yea, for my dreams of being an mechanics to tune cars and such.. maybe next time, as a hobby... well, apparently there's a New Bill passed on in the legistration (wow so cheam ah the words..) laws of WA, apparently the new bill is for Tuning up Cars, certain limits to follow, blah blah blah... apparently there's too many things in there that u might need a lawyer to help u with yr car tuning as well.. haha! so yea, i've been thinking thru, and not because of this new law, but because of my future... so yea, pray for me ya?! *YAY!*

been delivering sushi in that new VW Transporter of mine... but apparently now it's giving me backaches... cos the seat is like slanted... so imagine driving 2 hrs in a van with a seat slanted at a slight angle... it will cause yr back to be very very very very sore... haiz... so many probs... hopefully that can be fixed..

Kim's blog is no more.. apparently some nigger G's been disturbing her with crude statements and tags... if that Colourwolf is reading this... HEY! KIM GOT ALOT OF FRIENDS ALL OVER THE PLACE! SO BUZZ OFF OR WE WILL BUZZ U WITH BEEZ!!! yea. take that homie.. haha.. dear kimmy... u're like a sis to all of us... so we naturally will do our best to take care of you ya? even when u're in australia. was telling T33n, "too bad kim not coming to perth study, if not sure become another family member for us... ha! my sis then will have a big sister.. lol!" hey.. it's true noe... see teen... my family takes such good care of him he like part of the family man... ha...

eh TEEN! LAST NITE's GAME SUCKS! boo to chelsea and Arsenal... and sTUPID ALEX FERGUSON! GO RETIRE AND FLY KITE MATE!

ok.. now that i've relieved my stress and anger.. been running lately.. well, last thursday and fri.. tying to keep fit.. sat the weather was good so wanted to go to the beach to swim... enjoy.. sun-basking.. too bad teen wasn't in the proper attire (well he was.. just never bring extra clothes.. or he scared cold...).. the WAVES were like 2M tall... surfing man... wanna learn.. so many dudes surfing... sighz... $$$... take time ya... no photos from the beach day.. but ha.. it's not photo kind.. it is "MUST BE HERE" kind... summer coming... guys.. come over for hols ok! heck care teen if he goes back.. come here RELAX!!! HAHAHAH!!! LEAVE TEEN LONELY!!!!! well.. not really that lonely for him la..

hmm.. notice this whole post about complaining... but no... i'm actually doing some gratifying to Daddy... thanking him for helping me thru work, helpin gme thru deciding wat i wanna study.. giving me the opportunity to get income, learn to pay bills, products, fines... haha.. yea.. that $100 fine.. i appreciate wat u wanna do man teen.. but i think i'll pay this fine on my own...

so yea.. this is a pretty short update... no photos kind.. cos last week not much stuff to take.. though there were some of my lil bros bdae... ha... we'll see about posting that...

animore stuffs.... i'll let u know... thining of changing blog skin.. also because kim complain cannot see... i got some cool ones... haha...

(well... just dun wanna say the age la..) really really thank Ashley for opening up my eyes on life, God and wat we should actually be... a prince/princess not onli in God's eyes.. but also in all our eyes... also thanks to many of the other Princesses and Princes.. lol... but yea... have seen u grown to be a much stronger and mature lady even though i've known u for like wat? start of the year.. hahah!!! that's good for me... it's great to know such a lady like u... always cheerful even in yr worst days.. (actually that sounds like me... hahah) and shining God's glory in anyway u can... dun get to stressed out by life's situations yea? it'll all work out good for the Glory of God... so yea.. that's the lil tribute to ash... dun mind i use this photo... *smiles*

it's monday again...

2006-08-21T10:07:00.000+08:00

hmmm... i'm online now, no one is... all either still sleeping, or at work, or at school... monday blues, always gets to me not on monday, but on sunday evenings... but i'm going to change that... there was this awesome service on sunday morning, given by 4 young men of God, giving different but to-the-point word!!!

1 of the preachers, Elliot, was asking "Anyone in the house are in a Full-Time Ministry?" but onli a handful raised their hands... cos those handful were really working in the Church... but then, he let us in on an info i've never even tot about it before.. that everyday in our marketplace, be it schooling, businesses, or government areas, we are ALL working FULL-TIME in the Ministry God has placed us in... which is where we are working at, or walking on, or just being in.... Talking to people, helping people, serving people, we are to see it as our ministry to God, we are the pastors/leaders in our workplace, and that makes us FULL-TIME workers in the ministry of Christ!!! there's this verse in the bible, talks about going into the marketplace and "bring the word of God into the marketplace"... (dunno which one, forgot to write notez... nutz!!!) now i'm hoping to be like that, always keeping in mind that where i'm working, wat i'm doing, is always a testimony, and also knowing that i'm already working FULL-TIME for God, no need to wait to be called to work fulltime in church, You ALREADY ARE!!! maybe some of us have forgotten this like i have kinda... but praise be to Daddy for sermons... hahah!!! love...

anyways, had a great sunday, went to eat Hungry Jacks (singapore's equivalent of Burger King) with Teen and a couple of mates from church... spend some time just takling gibberish hahah.. the usual... then we had to go home, get our gear for soccer and off we went... played relatively well.. needed time to warm up though.. but yea.. had some good moments.. hHaha!!! like i fell after colliding with someone, but not falling forwards, but backwards on my supporting hand... ah!!! nearly dislocated the shoulder... now the ligaments hurt there... hmmm... heal heal... and last nite after soccer, the heater was spoilt.. so had to shower in flipping 5 degrees cold water... now i truely understand the meaning of hyper-thermia... (did i spell it rite?) see all those ppl trap in cold water... cannot say "aiya... so easy...."... my feet became numb just showering in the cold water... and so did my head... hmmm.. fix fix!!!

but yea, after that watched movie, The Transporter 2.. not bad... cool actions! like jackie chan liddat.. the car, audi... oh... nice!!! then suddenly,LEG CRAMP!!! so dumb.. haven't had cramp in ages... the pain so real.... haiz....

weather's been getting abit better, more rain coming in now then it was suppose to be a month ago... coming end winter, near spring, now then start to rain... poor farmers... but either way, weather's been good.. getting a tad warmer now, so when i wake up for morning deliveries, not so cold... go toilet LS also not so cold... *warm toilet seats..*

Friday i went to the beach, "Cottesloe Beach" (almost correct spelling)... here's some pics...

Nice pics rite? took them with my new Sony Ericsson k800i 3.2 Megapixels camera phone.. not bad ah? good phone.. (sales advertising now...) esther's online now.. wow!!! aniwae, it was sunny, then cloudy, then sunny... wat happen was teen pangsei me to go cycling..

then when i said i was at the beach, he say i bo jio.. haiz... how to jio? i driving le... you cycling.. u can keep up anot??? haah!!! no la.. tot u cycle good mah... next time lor... u can cycle to the beach yrself...

friday morning when i was delivering sushi, going home, saw this mazda.. you know the mazda advert jingle.." Zoom zoom zoom..." yupz.. this is the car!!! with nice zooming licence plates.. haha!!!

then saw a rainbow...

Tornado strikes Perth... Again...

2006-08-08T09:56:00.000+08:00

first post for august...

today woke up at 6.45... didn't feel like waking up, even though i slept early... strange though, normally this is my usual up & go routine to delivery sushi in the morning. but this time round, really really sleepy and didn't want to get outta bed... either way, got out and to my shock... I ONLY GOT 3 PLACES TO DELIVER SUSHI TO.. haha.. shiok! so off i went... now back and blogging....

*5 days ago*
i came back from work with mom and dad, decided to put words into action! "WASH MY CAR TODAY!" but then i had a check with the weather forecast on the internet, found out it was gonna rain the day after and after and after... so i was sad, couldn't wash my dirty car which hasn't been washed or vacuumed since like 2 weeks ago, as it was raining almost non-stop for the last 2 weeks (or so i think...). but then i went "GOD, i wanna wash my car, and even if it's raining tomolo or the day after, doesn' matter... at least it was clean before..." so off i went, finding the bucket, sponge, car shampoo, polish and drying cloth (turtle wax microfibre cloth - awsome cloth to use for drying up yr car.. forgot the whole brand name)...

didnt' really polish cos i didn't have the time, but just spray, soap, and rinse.. then dry it up.. and amazingly.. my car looks rather squeaky and shiny.. AWESOME! i tot. then on to the wheels, and dashboard.. didn't vacuum my car though, tot i'd bring it to the petrol station and use their "POWERFUL" vacuum... aniwae, dun talk much, show u some pics...

either way.. now my car is dirty like a rubbish bin.. so i need to wash again, hope the weather will be fine the next few days...

*friday - 4 days ago*

went to play tennis, badminton with teen, royston & celestine... awesome time.. though my legs were cramped up after that, but it was awesome fun.. read more about it in teen's blog...

*sunday - 2 days ago*

went to church, then to my old church to help a fren play electric guitar for this event called "exo-week", an outreach program for all the churches in the State during the week to go to high-schools and do programs, so we're doing music... playing songs like "Not Now" by Blink 182, "The Advanture" by Angels & Airwaves, "sweetness" by Jimmy Eats World... some of the few songs we're practising... it's awesome..

*monday - 1 day ago*

got my sushi pay.. $190, but i had to give the boss $45 because my mom haven't pay her back some money my mom owe her.. so i'm gonna nick extra $5 from my mom.. tell her, "Mom, u owe me $50".. got interest mah.. wah... haha..

*today*

going to work soon, that's about it, still got 2 more pics to upload.. soon ya.. nice photography rite? lol.. it's all God... oh.. i got this swelling in my mouth, some gum infection from when i scratched my gum 2 weeks ago, and now there's like blood, and some juices forming inside my "ex-wisdom" tooth area (bottom right side).. got a free prescription by a fren doctor yesterday when i was at their place for singing practise... Thank God... needed antibiotics, need doctors approval and a paper with writings, then can go pharmacy to buy... things work differently here... but it was free consultation.. really really thank God...

ok then, i'm off.. enjoy the pics... haha.. use for wallpaper la.. HAHAH!!!

everlastin,

20/7/06 - 16 days since i last blogged...

2006-07-20T22:16:00.000+08:00

heyheyhey... well, hasn't it been 16 days since i last wrote my previous blog about being in perth for 4 weeks and about being sad, and lonely, and depressed, and upset and just lazy about stuff... trying to get back into church life at PCLC, is tough as it is.

today, i'm gonna write about good things... good news... news that we can celebrate about during this past 16days...

firstly, i'm sorry that i haven' tbeen updating this blog, just busy with work, world cup, and many other things that have come across my mind... but yea.. thinks have worked out pretty fine this time round... I've finally tot about wat i'm gonna do here... gonna go for a cert in electronics... then diploma, then mayeb degree.. the car audio scene here is huge, so being an electrician, not onli can i get jobs at audio shops, but also ani body's house, with electrical probs...
another thing is world cup sucked... the finals was a terrible game.. slept thru it... how disappointing.... but heard Hillsong was yet again awesome.. so that's a plus again!!
as for church, i think i've found the church Daddy wants me to be in.. which is the same church my family is going.... well u guys might think, "duh... of course just go to where yr family is..." but for me, going to NCC while serving NS in singapore, i've tot it would be most comfortable to be in a diff church as my family... so off i went, spending like 1 month at PCLC, but it was hard... trying to get back into the old clicks and circles within... there are some ppl who are open to hang out with me.. but others, just wanna be with their own frens.... so yea... tough luck.. hah!!!
so yea... going to the same church as family is.. and it's great.. the feeling is warm, friendly, cosy!!! i feel God moving in this church more then i can feel it moving in PCLC.. the church is PCLC's planted church, South City Church... i feel like i can make many frens in this church of about 300... though it may be small, but we're touching the community in a big way.. example, we're gonna do a "backyard blitz" project for an elderly man and his wheel-chair bound wife, gonna clean up their house's backyard and turn it into a really really nice and beautiful garden with a mini-herb garden, and nice pavements... etc...
another this is seeing the church being fully involved in the communities graphic art contest, where our teens leader is in the community paper front page, interviewed for his group artwork for the contest.... so yea.. can't wait for greater things to happen...

TEEN is here!!! WOOOHOO!!! finally, after being 'australianized' for so long, my fellow singlish mate is here in perth... not lonely animore guys!!!! but still missing you all!!! does that make ani sense? i dunno la.. hahaha.. doesn't matter... JEREMIAH-T33N is in town on sunday as u guys would know... and met him and his fren's gf, celestine on tuesday late morning... drove all the way to UWA, Nedlands, City, north of the swan river... to pick them up, then proceed to perth's biggest Factory Outlet Mall, HarbourTown (sounds like our harbourfront ya? hahah), where teen spent an amazing $140+- on 6 shirts, 2 sweaters/jackets and a jeans *think i got it rite rite teen?)... he was all "WOW!!! SO CHEAP.. AND BETTER DESIGN THEN SINGAPORE SHOPPING!!!" hahaha... looks like someone will be liking perth more and more soon... that bag rite there he's holding.. is a $100++ filled bag... haah!!!

WHAHAH`~~~ and i must say.. it's was pretty good asian food there... so paisei though.. i go to the counter and like wanted to ask the uncle cooking, whether they got sell "ham Yu Chao Fan"-salt fish fried rice... i asked in him chinese.. he dun understand... i tell his college in chinese, he said "pls speak english..." ... and there i tot he was asian... chinese.. flipping think he knows and understand chinese.... but he doesn't.. so say in english, and he said no.. so we ordered a plate of combi rice for $8 and laksa for $8.50, Total=$16.50, reaction on my face when i got told to speak english by an fellow asian brother=PRICELESS!!!

so here's the pics from laksa and combo rice...

then after we had Gelare's because it was HALF PRICE TUESDAYS!!! woohoo.. waffles go half price that day.. and it was really nice waffle... ice-cream.. cookie dough and strawberry something....

then we went to my garden city, where teen and celest begun to look for food to cook for dinner.. they tot about eating spaghetti, luncheon meat, egg & onion omelett... so they bought their stuff.. and off we went to my place to look at my house before going bak to their place to cook.. MAN was is hilarious seeing u both getting all worked up over the styles of cooking and wat not and wat to do... hahah!!! u guys are so awesome!!! aniwae.. the outcome was like this...

nice try guys... haha.. i'm sure u'll do much much better next time esp with my mom's advice on how to cook spaghetti and brocolli... and this pic..... used a nouget to get the camera standing instead of dropping so we could take a self-timer photo...

after 4 weeks...

2006-07-04T19:38:00.000+08:00

woah woah woah... it's been really really busy... about 4 weeks or so in perth already! have gotten used to the weather, but not really so in terms of people and stuff... hanging out is always limited to the usual fri and sat! sunday so boring.. no shopping centres open for you to hang out, shopping.. haiz.. everything is to be done in the afternoon... but well, shopping in the afternoons ain't all that bad, just that u know, at nite, at least got something to do mah...

aniwaes, thinking of changin the background soon... haha! another brain strainer again!!! but it's for the good of us reading and writing this blog... super bored at home, really no chinese shows to catch, movies are like $15 (except tues when it's half price day... still $8 is alot...), and no shops open till late...(except for 24/7 petrol kiosk... haha)... McDonalds are like $6.95 for large meal for Big mac... quite strange knowing prices are abit higher here.. and the portions are crazy too!!!

but thank Daddy, for my job.. which is working at my dad's franchise store - subway - getting about $300+ a fortnight.. some ppl might say is not fair.. but apparently it's the minimum pay for my age (according to Australian Salary Standards)... but at least it gets me going, working, earning money... better then doing nothing at home.. well.. actually i tot working there would be a chore.. but turns out i actually dun mind working there... might be because i'm working like every weekday.. so haha... i'm getting my car's audio fixed... getting better ones.. and maybe just tuning up the car abit... go abit quicker... ah..!! i also have to start paying for my car insurance, road tax, and petrol all by myself... so think ah.. the $300 have to go to alot of places before coming to me for my own purposes....

so the guys, are in sydney for hillsong conference...!! HI GUYS!!! u're so near yet so far... guess that's the true meaning to this infamous phrase... haiz.. wish i could join u guys.. too bad i made that choice in not using my mom's money to go to hillsong... well... i can also go next year.. it'll be good... crap... i can see smoke coming out from my mouth even in my lounge room... sianz.. so cold meh? or maybe my breath too warm.. hahah!!! many things have changed since i've come back here... churches have changed... people have changed... maybe even the frens taht i once know have changed too.. guess everyone was pretty busy with life and stuff.. getting on with their own thing... well.. i am doing that too... just that trying to fit back into the circle might be abit tougher then finding a new circle to go into... infact taht might be wat i will try to do... find a new circle to go into.. i mean, the old circle know that i'm back... if they want, let them find me lor.. haha..

God has been good to me ever since i've been back... but Lord.. i want better and more things!!! i'm still stuck in this dilemma of wat course to take and study... my mom is forcing me to quickly find a subject to study on.. people tell me to do the things i'm interested in... which could be automobile mechanics.. but wil that help me get a career in life? tot about other things like dentist assistent, business marketing, accounting, electrician, hospitality, PR... will i like it? should i worry about it so much? maybe this blog is also good to pan out yr thoughts and think about it... in fact.. i should be relying on Daddy to provide my career, and since this is wat i'm interested.. i should just go with it instead of thinking about wat kinda job i can get if i take this course or that course.. THANK YOU LORD FOR BLOGS.. hah!!!! realy grateful!!.. yea.. trust in teh Lord and Sit Easy!!! guess i've figured out wat i wanna study liao... and will continue to pray over it lor...

really really miss you guys back in singapore, all the funs we've had... all the laughter shared.. all the lame things we've done... hahah!!! memories.. well.. jianling will be arriving with calvin in like sept or oct period... jeremiah (if u ddunnoe it's teen) will be coming in july.... can't wait for some buddies to come over and spend some time with me... maybe Daddy wants me to go back to singapore and stay there? hahaha i dunno... eitherway.. i want to be a blessing here in perth.. and i will be!!! i wanna make a difference.. and it will happen!!!

...a week later...

2006-06-18T00:33:00.000+08:00

hey hey! well, it's been about a week now... really really sad yet happy things are like this now... long post... bear with it!
1st day:
reach 2pm... breezed thru things... blah blah blah... on my previous blog.. hahha!
2nd day:
went to my mom's church, saw a couple of ppl i knew... and was introduced to ppl i didn't know... then after that proceeded to go for lunch at a hawker near my place. the same nite we went to my mom's fren's place to get my other luggage carried by a mate i've known recently - Linus - whose been really awesome bro! he was there, went out in his rx-7, really cool ride... hoping i could ride it and drift it around, but ha! it was too cold we couldn't remember... took the luggage, forgot the key, called to meet up the next day...
3rd day:
today is monday, woke up around 11am, not my usual time, didn't want to wake up to as it was so cold! but had to sms linus and check to see if we're meeting up! struggled to get up, ate 'COCOPOPS' for breakfast, brush teeth, then called linus' mom to check where he was, turns out they were going to garden city (an australian shopping mall nearby), so drove there, walked around the mall, trying to remember things... saw linus' mom, and soon after linus came along. said our goodbyes, and off we went, a mazda RX-7 series 8 & a 1992 Honda integra LS with license plates 1BLS-444, to meet afren of linus', singapore guy who owns one of the biggest and popular mod garages in WA. saw him, said hi, asked for a change in spark plugs, turned out there were more repairs to be done on the integra. cost was suppose to be $20+ became $40+.. sianz.. but well, just to get to know him, maybe soon i might be getting mods from him at cheaper rates...
soon after linus said he wanted to get rid of his RX-7, which he tot was not worth the keep as it has depreciated quite abit and it's better to get rid of it now or never.. so we made a few calls, and off we went, to AutoSales at Causeway, Burswood to speak directly to the person in charge and see if there's something worthwhile to trade in, Boy were we in for it!
linus couldn't find the way, i led, turned in.. boy was there a pleasant surprise for our eyes.. Nissan S15s, V35s, mitsubishi evos, etc...

it was haven for us car siao kias!!! aniwae, met with the peeps there, discussed on wat car would be better for a trade in, when i saw my dream car displayed... NISSAN SKYLINE GTR34 VspecII.. i tot, i had to take a photo of this so yea, look over the pics, it's a 2001 model with rather good modifications, has 12000kms and selling for $84,990. but well, i was worth the look touch and drools. so off we went, our seperate ways till we meet again before linus goes back for his remaining NS time. (my car (grey) and linus rx-7 (black))
4th day:
started work, boy was it hard at first, but well got used to it after awhile.. the skill is there, just updates and more running would get me going.. always needed a long time to warm up for me to go fast. SUBWAY is where i work for my dad. he's a franchise owner... but they're hoping to sell it as it's been about 5 years and business is doing fairly well... finish work, go back watch world cup, surprisingly, the world cup is like free on australian channel, 3 matches a day, replays after the matches at reasonable times. not like starhub in singapore.. (>.<")

5th day:
work again...
6th day:
it's thursday now, work as usual, 1 more day till sat, rest day! after work mom and dad brought me to garden city (or garbo - shortform) to check out phones and value deals for mobile phone plans. at first they were bent on getting this mobile company "3" as our new line as 'many' ppl are using is cos it's 'cheap' and good. but i saw the phone i wanted. a W900i sony ericsson, under 'optus' plans... mom and dad said no, it's $34+$49 caps monthly, i tot it was alrite, then we spoke to phone guy... uttered rubbish for like 1/2 hr, rmbered shopping centres close at 9pm on thursdays. then in the end, the value still the same as optus , just that i'll be paying for the phone too.. nvm, went back home, gonna find out wat my frens were using, which turns out most of them are subscribed to optus. hhahha! woohoo!!
so mom said, no phone, no driving the integra until the insurance was done, prob with insurance la... so abit sad but no choice... preparing to go out for a music session at church when suddenly, my 1st 'quarrel' with the family... i wanted to drive a car so that i could leave the church later then my sis would, knowing my sis would wanna go home so she could watch "return of the condor heroes" dvd. but dad said take 1 car, then get a lift home. how could i? so inconvenient and kinda rude on my first day meeting frens i haven't seen in 2 years, to ask them to take me home... so nvm, i was gonna go till my sis said "u just wanna show off yr integra" that's when i blew up! i said i didn't care whether it was the lousy ford or the 2 toyotas, she could drive the integra for all i care, so i said i wasn't going. took a shower, didn't go, but went online. a fren kurt and jason came by to say hi, then i realised to ask linus out before he left! so sms away!!!
he replied, saying lets go for a movie F&F: tokyo drift. i said alrite, he was picking me up as i couldn't drive aniwae, but well.. he offered.. wonder why... rx7 aniwaes.. hahah
10mins later i heard a loud loud car coming by.. didn't sound like the rx7, so i went out... and LO and BEHOLD - Linus in my dream car... Black Nissan Skyline GTR34... the one seen at the Autosale we went on monday. said within the 3 days he took sometime, went down to the place again, test drive the cars there, and found the GTR worth a buy. plus they were letting is go for $65 grand. $20 grand discount. so with a $35,000 trade-in, e onli had to pay another $30k++ and there it was... his mom loves him so yea... heh, that was wat he mom said... (heard from my mom.. i told her i love the car too.. HAHA!)
we drove to watch the movie, expected HOONS were gonna be there.. remembered movie seats there were free seating.. 1st come 1st served.. no reserved sitting... got a good seat, finish went to mac's, he let me try out his car (guess is was a payback for the rx-7.. hehe).. it was a great nite after a sad afternoon...!!! plus england won the game that nite too!!! 2-0... nothing more to say... Thank You Daddy... see the pics!

beauty of the RB26 Twin Turbo Nissan Enginefuture racing buddies...
7th day:
work again, linus came by to say gdbye.. haha.. heard his car swoosh off!!! (Blow off valve for turbo engines)... dad allows me to drive the integra but with care... like duh.. hahah.. but true.. never neglate (wrong spelling) wisdom from parents... went to the mother church - Perth Christian life Centre... the way to church...it was awesome meeting up with frens again... went to a mates house for a movie - xmen 2, and then went home.. pics will tell the story...
8th day:
today is sat... slpt in.. shiok! finally sleeping with long pjs... warmth... stayed home, polished my car, painted some gate my dad wanted us to do... went to eat sushi again at our fren's shop.. ate one of the nicest and cheapest ice-creams u can get - Amarno - a gelato company... bring u guys there when u're here!!! and now i'm here... writing this.. it's cold, my breath visible in the photo... (if cannot... imagine lor.. haha.. black background very good already hor.. try to see the white 'smoke'). now is the start of the 9th day. ups and downs i guess.. but Daddy has given me the strength to pull thru... well.. i'm sorry to be shouting at my sis and stuff.. things are alrite now... hope more adventure will come my way.. great ones too!!! like actually owning a GTR!!! HAHA!!! WO YAO GTR!!! (abstract taken from Initial D: The Movie)

hope u've enjoyed reading it... haha!!! sorry for it being so long...

the day i came back...

2006-06-10T23:11:00.000+08:00

today is the 10th june. the day i depart from singapore back to my family in perth... though as sad as it may seem, rejoice for this will be the beginning of better things to come..

6.00am:
i woke up, onli slept for 3 hours due to germany and costa rica world cup opening match. i'm amazed at germany's standard... got my bags together, brush teeth, wore clothes i wore to malaysia (no choice... all clothes packed liao..), and sat in the back of the van, awaiting to arrive.
6.50am:
got a call from Aiwei... "hello.. are u here yet? how far?" "i'm reaching soon.. another 5 mins..." haha.. poor aiwei.. always the earliest for events...
7.00am:
arrived at the airport with my bags unloaded and going to check in.. saw the crowd.. my lord.. it's super crowded.. but thank God a new queue opened and we were the first to that line... though the pregnant lady behind the counter was abit moody.. saying that she can't allow this, can't allow that. but u know.. doesnt matter... edmund came along, then victor.. then weiming..
7.30am:
my mom's passport got some probs to settle.. so they sent in a letter to sort it out... i went back out to look for everyone who's here already.. touched by the fact u guys came...
8.00am:
finally got the tickets, went down to burger king to get breakfast... rush rush... ate some cool meal... then rushed back upstairs to the departure get before 8.30am... the girls didn't even had time to finish their beloved sandwiches... haiz...
8.30am:
finally went in.. couldn't do shpping as no time left... but turned back to face my frens alot of times.. thank God i knew them.. thank God i didn't cry... :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
as i walked towards the scanner, worried about my dvds and backups... i didn't think about anithing else except that... till i sat in my seat, even after the plane took off, didn't even think about anithing... i wondered.. how heartless...but i was realy really tired.. so i slept for awhile, thinking whether to have lunch or not...zZz

i woke up.. smelling the sweet aroma of the meals that were prepared and given out.. still i continued slping... till suddenly i really became alert... took pasta (the onli dish left.. haha) and watched my mom watch Chronicles of Narnia... then it struck to me... everytime i saw azlan (the 'lion'-el) i began to tear abit... thinking about the Lord Jesus, him being slained that i may be free, tat i rmbered the times when everyone talking abot narnia... how it's related to the bible and stuff.. thank you Lord for dying on the cross, that yr love shines thru all of us, giving agape love to anione and everyone...

so everytime i see azlan, i tear... till i myself wanted to watch the show.. then came *ding-dong* "dear passengers... we're approaching arrival in anoher 50mins time..." i tot.. how to watch finish the show i jst started... in 50mins...
time passed, soon the movie stopped, haven't even reach the middle yet... but we were touching down already....

when we touched down and parked... mom said to me"welcome home son..." i gave her a side hug and all of a sudden, both my eyes were teared up.. ready to burst.. "i can't believe it's been 2 and a half years, i can't believe i'm actually here.. i can't believe i left amazing friends behind..." i wiped them away with my sweater, and sat still, basking in the amazing presence of my Dad above and the feelings i held now...

Thank u Lord for the time in singapore, the things u're taught me, the love u've shown me, the friends you've placed in my life... as i look back, the crazy loud speeding vans, the many random "whoo-hoo!" let outs, the many friends(or girls) that has named me a colourwolf, the many guitar moments we've shared, the many NS out-fields we've done, and the many many times we've laughed... seriously, a smile from someone u care about, is a super-super-high that onli God can give...

Claymore'05, engineer week'05, BPC, CAMPUS, Crazee Olympics, Caregroup, Jamming sessions, durian outings, malaysia, shopping with royalty, mahjong, etc... all these are still in my heart and mind, and will forever be. this will not be the last time we'll be seeing each other, but like a fren of my said, "it's just the beginning.." let it be... truly has been an awesome time...

yours truely,
royal jester&gentleman - loyal

June the 5th... early morning... 5 more days...

I Believe In You - Steven Curtis Chapman
Aren't you the little one
That hid in my arms afraid of the thunder?
Are these the little hands
That held so tight to mine?
Didn't we both agree you'd never grow up
And now here we are
And here you go
Of all the things I want to say
The thing you really need to know is...

I believe in you
Yeah, I believe in you
Everything you are
Everything you are becoming

And I believe in you
Yeah, I believe in you
So spread your wings and fly
On the winds of knowing I
Always believe in you

So many prayers we've prayed
So many dreams to get to this moment
Now this is where we stay
While you go change the world
But I'll be where I have always been
Up in the stands cheering you on and
Singing this song
A song the very God who made you
Has been singing all along

I believe in you
Yeah, I believe in you
So spread your wings and fly
On the winds of knowing I
Will always believe in you

And when you rise and when you fall
I'll still believe in you
Just close your eyes and hear me calling
I believe in you
Oh, I believe in you
----------------------------------------

Yea! this song is really nice and special... i imagine Daddy God singing this to me, saying that i have and i am someone special, and it is good... just 5 more days, i really thank God for all the things He has done...
1. got my uncle to get me a hardcase for guitar, really expensive strings for cheap, string cleaners and a guitar tuner!
2. went shopping around for stuff... but didn't buy much... most important was the hanging out!
3. my mom here with me, being such a blessing to other ppl here, and also a nice mom to my frens in singapore!
4. shown me alot of great makan places...
5. world cup!
6. PINK IC
7. AND FRIENDS!!! :-)

seriously, without friendships, i prob will be some hard-hearted, bad-butt, stubborn-headed jerk who's from australia and onli wants to go back to australia after NS. there was that period of time when i really was too tired to go church, too lazy, too sianz to even talk about God... but then it suddenly struck in me that i've been like this because i ain't got frens here, in homeland singapore, afraid of losing frenships and leaving them behind was something i didn't want. but then God reminded me that i'm a people person (or someone might say "colourwolf"), without the love from ppl, i would feel very dry and cold towards Jesus himself, forgeting wat love and friendship is about...

so i took up the energy to attend caregroup, campus and church again... and God gave me the strength to make frens, attend church, and listen to His Word again! though it may be like 5mths since i've really really know you guys & gals, but it seems like it's been forever, even before i left for australia... i wish that we will be friends forever and ever till we meet again in heaven, and then i'll cya all in the music ministry up there... thru this 5 mths, u guys have shown me wat love, care, concern, genuinity and friendship is about again... and i really appreciate it!

special mention to guys: andy, j. marley, kevbeanz, caleb the gentile, edmundo, ahneh, daniel 'the army singlet' model, the kaiser, lil' joash, magical weiming, jian ling, CALVIN the next pele, girls: ever-hungry kim, super 'tsk' nat, charissa's 'whey', miss ashley t'cher, esther & 45degree heels, aiwei's mildly hot curry, beautiful Beautiful... hahah!!!

but really, this is really and truely a very memorable time in singapore, and i really enjoy it. hey guys, this will not be the last time we'll hang out together ok! i'll visit or u'll visit,... either, MSN IS COOL!!! or email too... hahah!!! i should have done this on the last day in singapore, but what the heck, now also can...

thursday malaysia... confirm go crazy!!! i love u all!!!
tired and smelly
peace,
loyal *shower*

P-A-R-T-Y @ 201

2006-05-30T22:48:00.000+08:00

Hey ya'll... how's it going guys!
i'm excited.. many reason:
1. ORD tomorrow - COLLECT PINK IC
2. Held my bdae party at Josh's place
3. Played soccer this morning for my company.. was recruited for Inter-Unit team, till they realised i ORD tomolo...
4. DYED my hair... some "FLASH GOLDEN BROWN from Feria LOREAL paris.
5. Got money to spend... haha!!

okok.. it's not really alot of reasons.. but it's still good enuf... really really happy and hyper these few days...
firstly.. i'm gonna wash off my dye!!! brb
log: 10.58pm

start: 11.15pm
ok!!! i'm back...
so my dye didn't work out that well.. "flash Golden brown".. wat nonsense.. it's like 'DUll DARK BROWN"!!! NVM... I'LL dye it again then...

LIFE IN THE ARMY
it has it's good and bad... good is really really good... bad.. really really bad.. can't say that i hate it.. but then again, can't say i really like it too... u meet interesting ppl - weird, rude, quiet, loud, simple, smart, lazy, and much much more... think about it... BMT was really 1 time stupid.. should have known i recruit got quite abit more power... shouldn't have acted so scared of those sergeants! then also if i known i PES A cannot go military band... i would have at least expressed interest in becoming an OFFICER... more money and respect.. haha.. but well.. everything is in DAD's plan...

in the end i realised that DAD's been good to me.. dun need to stress like an officer, dun need to kio sai like sergeant.. but just listen and do like how a corporal should be! making frens with the sergeants (esp my platoon sergean XAVIER!!!) and being reliable and trustworthy men to the officers (to Mdm Ong, Lta Weikang, Lta Wilson, Lta Jackson, Lta WeiQiang).. it's was good...

i still remember Exercise Claymore.. 1 month in Thailand in the middle of the field, farms, forests, and rivers... spending ours out in the river to 'ferry' vehicles across... training and other stuff... it was crazy.. but those are really experiences u'll never get being an ordinary civilian... how outfield and incamp really has a difference.. mass cooking maggi mee at the end of the exercise, no rules.. ahha!!! at the end of it.. all of us.. from difference backgrounds and cultures.. together celebrated the end of wat seemed to be the NS journey, and now, collect PINK IC!!! haha... to all fellow 35th SCE soldiers, friends and friends... will miss u guys...

bdea party at 201.. those close to me gathered... for a "Pot Luck" party.. make yr own dish.. and we'll see how it tastes... haha... it was really really fun.. with all the dishes on the table... in fact.. there were too much food in the end... the list is here:
Josh - Bee Hoon
Baoyan - Kaya Fondue
Natalie - Potato Salad
Me&Mom - Sheperd's Pie, Lasagne & Apple Struddle
Kev&Kim - Chicken Wings
Aiwei - Curry Chicken
Edmund - Chocolate Fondue
Ashley - AgarAgar
Charissa - Super Mini-Cheesecake
Weiming - Durian
Esther - Some cool dian Sim from west mall...

seems like yesterday, when i got punk'd by royalty that 'morning'...

dark as it may be, a fren is still in need
i wore wat i could find, then headed to where 'trouble' lies
i looked around the area, scanning for anything unusual
but only to find 2 Ah-nehs, and a troubled fren

we headed towards 703, even when i said 704
but hey, maybe it's more comfortable for him
i sat down first, he told me to change seats
i said "sit down...", he sat in dismay

"what went wrong?" i asked, "i think it's over..." he said
showing me a sms, i went "Ohh..."
tried my best to find a solution, he said he did 'em all
"wait another day, then talk to her again..." he was quiet, then it began

"Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to You!..."
were the words that made my day/night* (*choose accordingly)
never did i tot i would be punk'd that day
photos were taken, wishes were made
and most of our stomachs had desert again...

thank you - the royal surprisers - for this awesome gift
that will be in my heart and this blog till it crashes
that it's not the cake or the surprise
but the people that came that day!

right after that we punk'd edmund(at home and sick, now healed and blessed)
wow.. so God inspired... hahah..thanks guys!!!
as u can see i've changed the skin of my blog, tot it was really me... had to edit certian things, but other than that.. i think it's alrite... woke up around 9am, rather early some might say.. but i had enough slp... listened to the 18th May Bible Study CD. it's really good and refreshing... plus, BARCELONA WON!!! haha...

josh picked me up @ 2.45, raining cats and dogs in my area yesterday... met edmund so we could teach him guitar... not bad.. picking up rather quick! taught him some wikked table which could help him recognise chords in key notes for a song... josh is impressed... :P went to have dinner, then brought me to get a certain thing to join the club.. the Braun Buffel Club... hahah!!! josh has it, caleb has it, edmund has it, kevin has it... who else? i dunno... picked a really nice "PREMIUM" wallet.. the traditional BB wallet from the ages of times... thanks AGAIN GUYS!!! IT"S AWESOME!!!
bible study was awesome yesterday as well... got really good queue number: no.4, and really good seats like near the front - row 'I'... This time pastor talked about the significance of names in the bible, something like a series from the last mid-week bible study... gonna get the cd!!!

brought my glasses to go and use the warantee as one of the lense showed signs of cracks... so i have to go 3-5 days without glasses, so if u suddenly think "wah.. how come lionel getting vain?" or "wah.. who's he impressing..." or "wah.. lionel suddenly look so handsome like Ix Shen.." then i'm sorry.. but i won't wear contacts unless it's a sports day, or like no glasses day.. or i'm going out on a date.. hahah!!!

many things happened..
1.condolences to RICO and family about his mom's passing on, hey bro, she'll love it in heaven!!!
2.finally met this guy with almost the same name and interest as me, Linus Tan, from perth too.. really awesome and eligible bachelor! goes to NCC but dun see him often.. this will change!
3.go back to camp because kanna caught long hair
4.got my bdae present
5.MOM'S BACK!
6.ORD-ing soon.. chill all brother's out there... yr time will come
7.MY 20th BIRTHDAY!

7 is a good number.. my favourite!
so yea, now at home, finished thinking about stuff, and preparing my heart to go back to camp for the final CONFINEMENT!!! it's not really a confinement i heard.. just go back become marshallers when the Unit is activated.... hope we're released earlier so i can go church!!!

Welcome Back Kev & Caleb!!!

2006-05-09T13:06:00.000+08:00

woah... last nite/this morning was crazy! firstly, last nite me and josh marley went out to attend josh's fren's gig at the Marriott. Where's that? we manage to figure it out, after looking at the street directory... IT'S TANGS!!! HA! but yea, the gig was held at Bar None (| O) so it's our first. entry was free, but to stay have to buy drinks! *lame* so we reached there at 8.30, waited till 9.30 then the show finally started...

but it was alrite to wait, the group (Documentary In Amber) is really innovative and good at coming up with rhythm and melody of their pieces. and the effects and playing styles, haha.. using a violin rod thing... (wat's it called ah?!) to play the last string on his electric, sound kinda cool, u get a raw sound... their effects box had many things, most of them i predicted was there, Digi Delay, Digi Reverb, Phazer (dunno how to spell), Metal Zone, wah pedal, volume pedal, sound other stuff from Route ** and some limited edition pedal used by some famous guy...

aniwae, me and josh was thinking, dun we, God's talented musicians, do this most of the times, come out with just random rhythm and melody, sometimes even solos for our praise and worship freeflow periods? we even do it at caregroup, without effects as we're only using acoustic guitars. Got me thinking... THE SPIRIT REALLY WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS...

aniwae, we couldn't make it to Kev's arrival due to the fact that the gig ended close to 10pm, plus we also had to pick up caleb at 4.15. so we told kim to send our regards, really feel bad we couldn't see him in, but also pls la... GIVE THEM THEIR MOMENT!!! lol.. so we ended up going to upp thomson, go eat Casurina's prata, Baoyan came along, talked, laughed, ate Mushroom cheese Prata (not bad..), Tehcino (my fav), shop had to close, went to another place, sat, talked, my father, my mother, yr father & mother... ... ...

till we realised.. "HEY! it's 3.30am!" opps.. so sent BaoYan back, played with Old Upp Thomson Road at 60km/h... TWICE! and went to pick Caleb.. HAHA!!!! i think he lost weight man.. btu either way.. i guess he was happy, we were happy he's back, and we're gonna get DRUMS!!! played wikked music in the SOLUNA, bass is tremendously good for a old stock car... caleb also stunn... HA! got back at 5am today, sleep, and now i'm awake.. 1.21pm.. hmm.. probablay gonna slp early tonite...

so yea... that's last nite and this morning... caleb's going nuts about the 2GB memory stick for his PSP. still waiting for the 2GB memory stick kev's fren wants.. still waiting for SAF to pay me my pay!... Well thank God for the things we did last nite, keeping us awake, topics to just randomly comeout from our mouths (or actually my mouth.. haha)

so i'll cya guys on weds and thursday and friday... in the mean time, Jesus Loves YOU...
