It's here. The day is finally here. Now, watch as I slowly slip into the hour, minutes and seconds.
Very soon, I'll be jumping over to the other side. Come to think of it, I've never said any long farewells to any of my friends before. In any case, the most they do is go on a holiday. Haha! Never expected my first long goodbye to involve myself directly. Feels so weird to be standing on the other side of a farewell. Ar geex...
Anyway, I guess this is gonna be my last entry here on the sunny island.
A chapter of the ChroNicLeS of the Hart shall end here...
... As a brand new set of ChroNicLeS starts writing itself. *metamorphosis in progress*
To all my friends here, I hope I've managed to touch ya Lives in small little indescribable ways, just like how I've been touched. Truly, the honours all mine. =')
Watch out for an update from Down Under. Well, hopefully, soon.
My most emotional End. Ever.
On the Other Side
Ready Steady GO!!
Oh my god, I only have 2 more days before I'm leaving on a jet plane. You know, everything feels so surreal, in 2 days time, I'll be sitting down in a different chair, writing entries in my blog or od in a completely different environment. My fingers would be tapping on a different keyboard and my eyes would be staring at content that appears magically on a different computer screen. Who knows? I may also be wearing completely different types of clothes due to the different kinda weather conditions there. Whoa...
Sigh.. yes, the word 'different' has appeared so many times that it can be pretty unnerving sometimes. But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do huh?? Lol. yeah, right. =p
The decision to fly was rather sudden. Come to think of it, the idea of studying English Language was sudden too. Through the years of being in ex-Chinese High, the idea was always engineering, engineering and more engineering. I guess almost everyone there was geared towards that course, or at one point or another, had their mind fixated at that point. It's prolly just the culture there. When people ask me what I wanna do in the future, of course, I responded with a despondent 'engineer'? Whatever engineer, just an engineer will do. 'Cos that's what everyone is thinking of, isn't it? It's a safe bet, isn't it? What can go wrong??
Yet, a person's future, like an individual's Life isn't a question out of some end-of-year examination paper. It isn't just a right or wrong. It's also what answer one will eventually find through the question. How much would one like the answer??
I never liked the idea of being an engineer. Although I didn't like the idea, I still couldn't find an alternative route to take. But somehow, I knew there was an alternative route. It's, like, a foggy path branching out from the dusty old used path I was standing on. Apparently, many people have come and gone on the path. And I just happened to be another one.
My first brush with English was getting into an English TDP (Talent Development Programme) in ex-Chinese High. My first intense jump into stories during English Literature lessons. I've always thought stories were just stories, but in those lessons, it has taught me more. If you bother to slow down and read into it, you can actually see the world in some of the literary stories. It's the first time, I actually read a book over and over again for four times. And on it, were so many highlighted dialogues and actions of the characters, with so many small notes scribbled in the small spaces in the corners that they could be imbedded with the stories already too.
That was also my very first attempt at thinking more for myself, in discovering hidden meanings in things. I suppose... I liked discovering new ideas for myself and if they're good, prolly share it with others, so that they may gain from the new insight.
At those moments, a seed slowly nestled itself in somewhere cosy...
Eventually, it met something/someone that made it blossom. And that blossom leads to me now writing this entry. Leading me down a road less taken. There was a poem which I did enjoy in the past and I think it goes by the same name, 'A Road Less Taken', but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. In it, it talks about how the poet himself didn't choose a safe and overused path but instead embarked on one which led him to his poem. Very meaningful, really.
It's a neverending struggle to decide upon leaving or staying. As much as I don't want to leave everyone and everything behind, I suppose it's also good for the exposure. This will be the first time I'll be crawling from under the comfort zone and into a new environment. One where it had better be good. haha! I guess the exposure will benefit in a certain subtle way and I'll probably gain some more additional insights from living on my own that cannot be found over here.
Honestly, I don't feel lost at going to somewhere foreign and all. Maybe 'cos the army has allowed me to experience this back in BMT (Basic Military Training), where I'm thrown into a new and harsh environment. And guess what, I survived through it after all. This is gonna be an added boost of confidence, I must say.
Almost all packed and ready. Just gotta decide what else to bring over. Hm, actually, I can't think of much things. Ar, talk about a guy and his stuff.
The clock is ticking and the dates are flipping. I'm edging closer and closer to the cold departure gates.
Borrowing the same title of a song from L'Arc En Ciel, I suppose I'm ready to go.
My mind is racing with so many random thoughts and the hart is pumping with so many emotions now. Apologies if entries appear incoherent. I hope the gist of everything is still there. Ar shucks. =x
End.
I and Pod
After so long while since the implementation of the iPod into our lives, I've finally embraced the culture (or cult, if you prefer.) of the iPod. It has been such a long wait for me, prolly 'cos of money-wise as well. In the past, before I received 'peanuts' from a certain government body, my little old allowance just couldn't hold out a iPod on its own. I also didn't wanna get a few hundred from my parents just for an Mp3 player. Besides, it's an 'I'Pod, besides the point that it has songs customised to your taste, I suppose I wanna get it on my own as well.
So goes the process of saving through the shells and nuts that I've been getting. Well, it was moving along quite well, considering the 500+ smackeroos per month, and the few hundred which an iPod would cost, the ratio was still pretty well in the comfortable range. But that means forgoing a new handphone, which is okie since I'm very contented with my Nokia 6100, with its white-now-turned-a-little-grey Bleach soul globe -_- hanging off the top right hand corner. Haha! Yep, I would prefer an iPod to another 3G or whatever handphone. Oh, and the wonderful iPod Video was born. I could almost seen it in my hands already. But the price then was, erm... pretty steep? Yep, and there goes the wait.
So comes the 6th of June, finally, my trusty old discman left my stage and allowed the brand new iPod to take center-stage. *applause* I went foraging through the prices from the stores in Far East Plaza and Lucky Plaza. I've got a friend who recommended a shop in Far East Plaza, 'cos I think that's where he bought his. But I decided to check out Lucky Plaza as well.
And guess what? I've gotten a price that's $50 lower than that offered in Far East Plaza, which is already $60 lower than the official price. Luckily I did just get it on impulse at the initial planned location, could have offset me 50 bucks. I would be like from =) ----> )= Phew...
Anyway, if you are wondering why I didn't bother going where everyone who wants techie stuff would flock to. Well, I can just say, it's just me. I don't really like the place. So many different stores harbouring so many con-vincing artists. Nah, I'll pass. I feel more comfortable being in town.
Right, my brand new iPod is my latest and I think so far, physical luxury possession. After a couple days, I've finally all my songs, music, osts inside this little metal casing le. Yesh, it is ready. And 'cos I went to dig up the older songs to put inside, I must say, it's been a while since I've listened to such classics and it's a nice feeling. haha!
Had a good laugh when I was installing iTunes, the program which works together with the iPod. The slogan goes like this, 'iPod and iTunes. Born to be together.' It even comes with a picture of a hugging smiling couple. -_-"' Geex... Come on, it's just a program. This kind of exaggeration and association is just too hilarious. Lol.
Okie, this is a boring entry, I know, I know. But I'll be writing more interesting topics soon. Keep in touch, people!
Through the Hedge
Right, I went to catch 'Over the Hedge' with D (don't know what nick to identify her and I don't use real names in my blog and od so, initials will do, ya. haha!) today. Pretty good animation film, almost all the qualities which an animation film should possess. Phew, that ought to erase the horrendous experience with my last animation film. Can someone please help me say, 'Chicken Little'? Argh, stupid Disney shouldn't bother to enter the animation industry. Anyway, that's another thing I'm gonna write about for another day. They should leave to the creators at Pixar and Dreamworks. Personally, I prefer Pixar productions but Dreamworks is all good too.
Mmmm... speaking about 'Chicken Little', got a little craving for chicken rice creeping up inside me. =Pp
On a side note, not that it's extrememly crucial to the movie or anything, but I was just wondering about the title as I was making my way home. Why is the movie called 'Over the Hedge'? I don't really recall they making their way over the hedge. For one thing, the whole cast is made up of tiny creatures of the forest. Oops, 'cuse me, I meant cute tiny creatures. The hedge is presented as a giant prison wall for them. Imagine, it's about a little taller than a full grown bear. Wow. A full grown bear that's standing on his two hind legs. Wowie. O.o Now that's a very tall hedge.
Anyway, most of the time, the animals make their way through (note, they bash their way through the greenery) to get over to the human edge. Haha! Over the Hedge? Should be Through the Hedge ba..?? I don't know, probably just one of those things again... Don't mind me, but think about it if you've caught the movie or will be planning to catch it. Just don't think so much about it and enjoy the imaginative world of 'Over a.k.a. Through the Hedge'.
Of course, in every animation film, there'll be characters where you simply can't help it but love. Oh, except for a certain animation film I've caught previously. *crowd chants 'Chicken Little'* Let's see... one thing bad about 'Over the Hedge' is, almost all the characters seem to be lovable on an equal level. There's the ulterior-motive-harbouring-and-smart Racoon; the artistic, Shakespeare-an Possums; the cautious and protective Turtle; the warm and prickly family of Hedgehogs; the crazy, not-so-smart, but fast, very very fast Squirrel; the supposedly stinky, low self-esteem but later gets turned into a gorgeous cat wannabe Skunk. I think that's about it for the main cast of cuddly creatures. But don't mind the Hedgehogs if they ain't too cuddly, ya.
I was kinda rooting for the Turtle 'cos if you've seen 'Finding Nemo', the little turtle, Squirt was real cute. But in 'Over the Hedge' er... his personality makes him rather boring, so yeah, I was kinda disappointed in that. Haha! But you know something, I think his versatile shell takes up more of the limelight than the actual Turtle himself. Pretty funny, if you ask me, just watch it and you'll know what I mean. ; )
So I guess they all stand on the same ground, ends up I don't have any special liking for the main cast at all. Right, let's go to the supporting cast of characters. I'm throwing the bear out straightaway 'cos he's a pure evil selfish bear. Boring, not worth my time. Haha! Okie, I like the retarded, playing-addiction dog and the fat ignorant handsome Persian cat. If ya wondering that how can fat and handsome go together? Well, they can sometimes and in this case, he just gave off this feeling.
The dog is extremely fun to be with as well. At first, you see a chain fastened strong to the ground, which leads all the way towards a dark and foreboding kennel. 1st impression, it's gonna be one of those really fierce, fangs baring, salivating, dark, black and strong dog with a sharp spikey collar. And you know the chains are just for display purposes and it's never gonna hold such a savage beast. The moment arrives and the dog notices our cuddly friends' presence gallivanting around in 'his' backyard. Die liao...
That's when he charges out...
To play!!! ~~~?! haha! Oh man, that was really hilarious. Well, the dog was black; he was strong; and he had something similar to a spikey collar. But he had no evil intentions at all. All he wanted to do was to play. Lol. Although the playing bit may end up being violent, after all, he doesn't know his own strength, but it's really funny to see this massive creature rush out, chanting 'play, play, play' when we expecting a 'kill, kill, kill' creature. Funny twist. ^^
Probably it hits closer to me, with me being with so many different dogs and all during my 2 years stint in dog wing. I can understand that dog's mentality in wanting to play. I had handled those dogs before too. It's really great fun having those dogs with so much interest in playing. Sometimes, they'll even forget their owner for a ball. But a few quick shouts will do the trick and he'll return to you with a sad look on his face. Or not. haha! Some dogs just love playing and eating. The greedy little mutts. ^^
Onto the fat cat. Oh, it rhymes. haha! Yeah, for starters, he's a proud, rich, heir of... I don't know, some king cat? He mumbled jumbled through some long royal name that I couldn't catch any of it. So, being 'royalty' (right, he's still a cat.), he doesn't like to associate himself with strays and the outdoors. Remember I mentioned the Skunk who gets turned into something more er.. presentable? Yup, that's where she comes in. Her role would be to 'seduce' while the adorable gang loot the house. So I suppose the cat is now the guard 'cos you can't really expect that retard of a dog to do that job, can you? haha! And also he owns a state of the art key to the house on his collar.
He falls for the Skunk eventually. Here comes the more beautiful scene... after he realizes she's a Skunk (right, I think he knew that from the start though..) and after she let's loose this 'bio-chemical' weapon from her erm... behind right in the house (poor house...). He still likes her all the same. Somehow, his love for her overrides all his other senses. Awww... haha! Isn't that sweet? ^^ As they are a pair of imaginary computer-generated characters, this is brought out in a more comedic way. But I have to emphasize the underlying elements are still there. It never changes, be it animated creatures or sexually-produced human beings.
Everything is done in good taste. Although, it may not be as impressive as 'Finding Nemo' or 'The Incredibles', but it touches well on the areas that all animations should possess. A fun and wildly imaginative world which we can believe in or provide us two-legged thinking beings another perspective into other living things' perspective and the creation of endearing characters which we can remember at the snap of our fingers. I think that's the basis of animation movies. It doesn't require a top-notch script to rival the other blockbusters hits but all the more, in its characters and environment they operate in. That's why people adore animations sometimes, simply 'cos it stimulates our imaginations when the repetitive society Life doesn't allow us that form of luxury. Hm. My 2 cents worth.
At the end of the credits, while I was making my way out of the theatre, I realized Bruce Willis was the voice actor for the Racoon. Haha! I was oblivious throughout the whole show. Honest. Probably the image of him being this strong attitude-oozing man just didn't quite fit into the image of a mere... racoon? For example, my image of him came from Lethal Weapon, Tears of the Sun etc, and who can forget the ever-popular, one of my faves, Armageddon? haha!
Oh, but I still don't know who did Avril Lavigne voice for. I saw her name at the starting introductions but not at the end credits. Weird.
That's about it for 'Over a.k.a. Through the Hedge'. Sadly, for some chicken out there. They failed terribly for a animation film. Probably if the chicken did not speak in the movie, I would have liked him more.
If you are wondering if I dislike that particular animation, 'Chicken Little' alot, hmmm...
Don't worry.
'Cos ya most probably right. haha! =Pp
Cheerios. End. ^^
Crowding Together
Hm, it's the school holidays now. Yes, the last time, I was elated over the long-awaited-but-exactly-enough school holidays. But that was when I was still in school, man. Everywhere I go now, it's always crowds and more crowds. With the Great Singapore Sale fever catching on, the crowds are growing like a rampant asexual amoeba. -_-
But while crowds get on my nerves sometimes, I can't really complain too much, 'cos er.. hey, I'm part of everyone that makes up 'a' crowd too. haha! So it's fun to actually observe the different qualities a crowd possess which gets on people's nerves simultaneously. I shall share my not-so-keen observation here. Just treat it as a fun read, 'cos eVeRyOnE is guilty of at least one way of irritable behaviour in my list. Oh, the order of appearance doesn't matter, I'm writing as they come to mind. Here we go!
The Couple ----> This is the most dominant in any crowd, so it's the 1st to come to my mind. Even though ironically, they say, '2s a couple and 3s a crowd.' Oh, couples doesn't necessarily mean boy-girl combo, they are many other combos to choose from, say, boy-boy, girl-girl or girl-boy (think it's the same as girl-boy though, hm.). Well, that's about it. These are the two people combo which slows down alot of the human traffic. They are indulged in their own conversations, and since humans are not good at multitasking, their leg movements slow down unconsciously. It's no one's fault, just blame our grey matter which refuses to work its half potential. When two people enjoy each other topics of conversations, they lose regard for others around. Somehow, the combo of girl-boy or boy-girl is even worse. The uncanny attraction between them slows down things by a whole notch. Thus, The Couple is a frequent sight to beware of in any crowd.
The Window Shopper(s) -----> This comes in singly or groups meaning two and above. The latter is a much major problem. Basically, they fall prey to advertising methods in the big glass windows of every shop that comes in their path. As they need to absorb as much information about the nicer things being advertised in the glass windows, they maintain their speed similar to a travelator lest they miss out on any nice stuff or wonderful promotions. The problem is, only they themselves are on their mind's traveltor. The rest of the folks are on walking speeds. Human traffic obstructed while they admire the wonderful decor of the windows even if the things being advertised may or may not have anything to do with them. Not as bad when The Window Shopper is a single person, quite easy to bypass him/her on his/her mind travelator. But if you get caught in the group version...
The E-Brakers -----> This may come independently or evolve from The Window Shopper. They are those who suddenly stop dead in their tracks for whatever reason not explained in little thought bubbles. While drivers on the road hate it when the driver in front of him/her suddenly applies the E-brakes for God-knows what reason. The same irritable factor applies in us, pedestrains too. While drivers have the option to not tailgate, it's sad that we don't. In a crowd, our environment forces us to follow closely behind to someone else. So we have no choice. I can't really the countless times I had to prevent myself from hitting these E-brakers. And I think that effect goes down a couple more rows of people too. The simple evolution of The Window Shoppers happens whenever he/she/they spot something worth their while. Wham! Zam! Bam!
The Handphone Hogging er... Hog (THHH) -----> Another classic of disregard for surroundings when these people appear. The principle lies very similar to The Couple where they get involved in some worthwhile conversations, dragging them further and further into the phone conversations when their physical frame still lies in our realm, blocking the paths of people who wish to get to their destinations without feeling all jittery inside. At least, most of them come singly, so it's not that difficult to brush past them. Hey, they wouldn't even know you brushed past them anyway. An 'excuse me' wouldn't work well already, as in a crowd, some people can hardly concentrate hearing those two words well with two ears, let alone THHH having only one ear available.
The Dragon Dance Troupe -----> This would always make the biggest group of them all. They come in groups of four or more, no less. As they enjoy the company of being friends and all and since no one wants to be left out in the conversation, they instinctively form this line that crosses everyone's path. And note, I mean everyone. The line cannot be distinctly seen as people force their way through, forming this illusion that no line is present. But when you get close enough, you'll find yourself being blocked off. Look to your left, look to your right, you'll see a line of people moving at the same slow speed. No choice but to break through. Luckily, this sight does not happen too often, only when these groups of friends seriously need to bond that strongly that you'll encounter The Dragon Dance Group. If you can just imagine the amount of effort the persons at the end need to strain to listen to the on-going conversations, sometimes, it's just not worth it.
The Invisible Toddlers -----> The little kids who exist in an age not suitable for prams anymore, and they are still at that minute size that still leaves alot to be desired. They are invisible to us simply 'cos the light they reflect is too far below to reach our eyes. But they are there, never belittle them. By far, this is the worst predicament to be in. Why, you may ask? Many a times, I've tried to walk forward into a seemingly empty spot when my instincts tell me to watch out? That's when I stop in my tracks, only to see a small kid down there, without any idea that he/she was about to be knocked down. Notice I've become an E-braker too, while stopping for The Invisible Toddlers. Oh, to add another thing, if you do, unfortunately, knock down one, and he/she has a very very low threshold for pain or shock, be prepared for a frustration and guilt trip when everything wasn't your fault in your 1st place. How can you be blamed for something you can't have known huh? So in a crowd, sometimes, you have no choice but to walk behind one, and look at the illusionary empty space in front of you that you could have just walked forward on, if not for their existence.
There's a close cousin to The Invisible Toddlers, known affectionately as The Z Kids. They do not deserve their own place in crowds as they can't exist in major crowds. But in a lesser crowd, these kids emerge. Be it running towards their parents or towards something which greatly interest them, they end up running in a Z formation, thus coining thier brand name. When they come at you head-on, there's no way you can make an effort to avoid their random Z patterns. The only way sensible idea is to slow down or stop and allow them to make the effort of by-passing you. The Z Kids... not as dangerous but still a nuisance.
The Mirror Image -----> They are people who simply love this childhood game, Simon Says. But we share a unique relationship with each other when we meet one. In their view point, we are one ourselves. These are the people we meet head on in a collision course. But being sensible humans which we tend to forget sometimes, we stop gracefully for each other. Here, the game starts. I don't know if it's in every human mind or something, we will start to mirror each other moves, all in a bid to carry on our own way and allow the other party to carry on his/her way too. But being The Mirror Image which we each become, we have only made it harder for each other as we swerve to our lefts and rights for a couple of times at the same time before recovering our senses. Argh! As above, the only sensible is to allow the other party to make his move, in doing so, breaking the chain of being The Mirror Image. Actually, it's easier said than done, I guess it's in our instincts. If you don't believe me, try making the effort to stop one day and you'll see!
The Indecisive Bulls -----> Signs of these emerging are from The E-brakers and THHH. They are the ones who decide to make a U-turn at their whim and fancy right in the centre of a major crowd and worst of all, you happen to be behind them! While walking in a crowd, logic suddenly sets in and questions them on their supposed designation. Immediately, they turn 180 on the spot and charges onwards, making up for any lost time they may have incurred on their wasted walking trip. Wham! Bam! Suddenly, you find yourself staring straight at someone's face when a mere second ago, you were seeing their backs. Even worse, they are coming down your path! When THHH is spotted, there's a chance of him/her evolving to The Indecisive Bulls, as the people they are about to meet may very well have changed the meeting point and chances are it's way over the opposite end. And again, Wham! Bam!
The Blind Walker -----> They are closely related to The Window Shoppers. But I'm not sure how to put my finger on them. Basically, something caught their eye. But unlike The Window Shoppers, they do not slow down. While their eye digests, their legs moves on in the same manner. Inevitably, they turn a blind to whom or whatever is in front of them. Sure, they don't pose a problem to those behind them, but the ones in front whom they can't see... Hm. And being in a crowd, there's not much room for people to dodge The Blind Walker. They can only watch the collision course about to happen and possibly convey the message across to them before it actually happens. Or just hope for a empty space to pop up in order to allow them to pass. Whichever comes first, I suppose.
I think that's all I can list for the night. Or rather, I can only think of all these, but I'm sure there are many others around. Haha! As I've said, it's all in the name of fun, so don't mind me if I exaggerate things a little, ya. 'Cos seriously, besides The Invisible Toddlers, I've been, at least, one of those mentioned before, even the rare Dragon Dance Troupe. I'm sure everyone is. Crowds are always there, and it's all the different people in there that make up one. I think it's our fast pace of Life, just like how drivers love to abuse their honk, that getting stopped or slowed down through no fault of ours gets on our very nerves.
Can you think of any other types in a crowd? =P
End.
A Missing Entry
If anyone has noticed, I've not written much in either my blog or my od. I've been more than a week absent from them. It's not that there's nothing to write about, 'cos actually, beforehand, I've got alot of things in my mind to blog/write about, but as I find the time to sit down and write, my emotions eventually deviate towards a certain point.
Yes, the point is I'll be flying off really really soon. The little but significant numbers on my watch change daily, bringing me closer and closer to another new chapter in my book of Life. The only difference is that this time, the familiar foundations which I've grown to depend on is demolished. And I'm constructing everything from scratch. Hm, it is probably something good. A whole new start and a whole new race to the finish.
'Tian1 Xia1 Wu2 Bu4 Shan4 Zi1 Yan4 Xi2' Ooh.. very cliche phrase. But being cliche also means it's filled with alot of meaning that few other phrases can replace. Yep, my partings with everyone. It also dawned on me that my email, my msn, my blog and my od are the things that's gonna keep me connected to all my friends here. Sigh... I'll definitely miss the times.
If only... Friends ---
Could be like a commodity.
Could be easily forgotten.
Could be neglected.
Could be used and then thrown away.
Could be without feelings.
Could be un-missed.
Could be non-existent in an instant.
Could be...
Nah, it's impossible. After removing the 'if only', everything that a friend 'could be' would be turned 360 around. And that's the truth about friends. The good and better truth. The truth that should and always will be. Personally, I'm afraid of the phrase 'out of sight, out of mind'. I really gotta ensure that phrase never blankets across my mind.
I don't know whether it's just a coincidence or have I come across many partings in every avenues of my home entertainment. There are partings in anime, in dramas, and even in variety shows. Now, I just need 1 more in games. Kaox... Since now I'm on a personal level with such things, I seem to possess a bigger radar and receive more of the feelings involved. Yep, sometimes, my body just can't help it but presents its own feelings.
Besides the people present in my Elevator of Life, how can I forget the very 2 people who created my very elevator for me to ride on in Life? Sigh.. what more can I say? Being the only child, I doubt I can help it with my mum fussing over me all the time. I try my best to shun away from all that but in the end, I guess a mum will always be a mum. I'm someone who dislikes troublesome things, that's why I don't spend excess energy arguing over this 'fussing' thing unless it's truly necessary and I feel she has gone overboard. After all, no one can deny a mum's right to care for her child right? If you didn't know that, don't even try. Lol. =P This has worked well and in the long run of my 21 years of Life, everything has worked out. I think. haha! Yeah, it has worked out. I suppose this time, it's the perfect opportunity for me and for her to experience something totally new.
And on to my dad. A man of few words. Which kinda leads me to a boy-to-man of few words at home too. Haha! All he said to me was to come back with something worthwhile. Right. ^^ Are all dads the same? They don't speak much even though they could have much to say. They can't emote much just because they are men and they are dads? Oh well, maybe it's just my dad. Hope I don't turn out the same way in the future, it's always best to communicate more, no matter how much you really care inside, still gotta express it frequently. Hm, don't you think so?
Without siblings to call my own, I guess my parents are the closest family members by my side all the time. They deserve an integral place in this missing entry.
*counting* I have, like, 10 days left in sunny Singapore, before I'll be moving to the Down-Under. Time moves so fast, I've already ORDed from the army for almost 3 months. On the day that I board a plane heading for Auz, that'll commemorate the 3 months.
Gonna be missing everyone here. Be it those whom know the existence of this blog and those who don't. Many others too, who have left footprints in my sand, although I may not longer have contact, so long as I still remember your face with a name, I'll still miss ya.
Right, don't miss me people, 'cos I know I'll be doing all the missing!!
Are written in my aria.
Kindling a new book,
Each chapter awaits me.
Could it be smooth or erratic?
A question for my persona.
Riding on a star,
Enveloped with glitters of hope.
If you think you've found it, look the other way as well. Hm, the other way... another way of Life we tend to overlook or neglect. Same significance sometimes, but we don't see it simply 'cos it's not as obvious. Oh well.
With that, I shall bring this missing entry which isn't really missing but still kinda about missing. Gosh.. O.O, that was a mouthful.
Cheerios, everyone!
