nice weather these few days, cool and not too sunny. very nice. kept me indoors. I am determined to stay home today. not wanting to go out in the rain and fight with all the people out celebrating this NYE

Staying at home to sleep..somemore nice weather..must make use. if not really wasted.

what i wanna do during the new year....
stop being a spendthrift,start saving up more.
start being something remotely resembling a human, stop being overly non-human.
stop eating too much unhealthy food, start living a healthy lifestyle.

not too much to ask for?? dun bet on it.......


saw dolly's 3rd year's anniversary notice in the papers a few days back and woah, was reminded that time passes real fast. 3 years already. wondered how many actually noticed. the fast passage of time, I meant.

i guess at some stage of life, sooner or later we must face the departure of the people or the stuff close to us. People and stuff that matters to us like family,friends,etc etc.
I dun think one can ever be ready to lose something that matters at any point of their lives. I think its more of an reaction then anything else. who would wanna lose those that matters?

Look at those who die recently in those far off lands. of coz, i feel for them. with such enormous media exposure, who wouldnt? not implying that its only due to the extensive media exposure that we shld feel for them. after all, they are human beings as well. like you and me.

Was chatting with QX about making the rite decision the other day and as usual, we both have very differing views on what consitutes a right decision. His was that the rite decision doesnt always have to be happy all the time. his analogy was a good one but shallnt elaborate here. got me kinda convinced...but i still think rite decisions and happiness go hand in hand. If not, i rather be wrong or change the entire value system to be happy. crap huh.


Death Be Not Proud
by John Donne
(1572-1631)

DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

a personal favorite, something to reflect further upon.

After watching London Voodoo, I feel so bloody cheated and giddy that I felt like throwing up all the Swensens we ate earlier. Damn, its a really bad show. BUT somehow, we managed to placate ourselves..one way or the other.

Love, so divine seems not too bad a movie to watch as the actor seems to be quite a familiar face although I dunno his name. Actually, its a formulaic movie as well.Definitely. cos we watched that too. arhaha

Utd won again. Giggs was the match winner this time around and gosh was he superb. Is he working for that 2 year extension? Hope he gets that extension and see it out and go away into the night. Never be like Keane who's thinking of preventing the inevitable and artificially prolong his career. Its better to bow out at the top, end things before it gets ugly. Its always better this way, less distress all around. We had a fun time watching the match and the Spurs - Palace match.

And yes, I sincerely wish ZC a safe journey, considering all the baggage he's carrying over that, i think he needs that. Cheers.

Bad luck, Bad luck..ZC's bike was KIA halfway when we were charging up the Shaw Centre Carpark..all in the name of taking some nite shots of the city skyline. His deraileur spolit and he could not change gears, tryied to fix it but to no avail. As a result of this, he has to 'BMX' his way all the way back home. Sad case.

It was damn cold last nite too, abit chiily but its good cos, it kept me awake while cycling. reached home at only around 7am. Damn tiring and my butt and legs hurt...

Caught 'National Treasure' today with my little bro today...realised that he can't keep quiet in the cinema..it will be a long time before I take him to the cinema again..kaoz. the movie seems not too bad but maybe I was abit too tired to follow the storyline closely but heard some familiar terms like the 'freemasons' and 'knights templar' so it wasn't too bad...then again, I take all these things with a big big big pinch of salt. maybe the whole shaker of it. hahaha,lame lame.

dinner was a super spicy affair, tom yam soup, smabal kangkong, mee goreng, sambal squid..woah..having abit of a sore throat now...

man utd won too..i hope they keep on winning though i think its not possible to win the league this year..but hey, there is always the FA Cup! haha ;]

life is busy. cos i want it to be...

Taking my bike out for a spin later with ZC. Better cherish these times manz, one by one, all will be leaving for greener pastures, leaving me all alone in SG. DAMN! I should have went to applied for SEP. Wasted opportunity.

Watched Kungfu Hustle and Meet the Fockers recently. Nice comedies that made me laughed my ass off. Managed to laugh my troubles off for a while,which was nice.

It was madness at Orchard Rd on the 24th. Gotten God to accompany there to soak in the Xmas spirit BUT in the end, all that we were soaked in was FOAM. Poor god even had some sprayed into his mouth and he was down with food poisoning the next day. Am I supposed to feel bad about it? Hmm...not really, even had a laught about it with ZC..but in the end called him up and checked him out. He was still ok..in his own words, he just need to eat more incense and he will be well. Wahaha..hope he really kena something jialat in Washington...lucky bastard. *just joking*

One going Washington, one going Hawaii. only leave me in Singapura. But, I am cool about it... I love my country! (actually, I do, just that I dun like those MIW)

KY planning to go UK for SEP..one less person to talk with. Sianz.

Xmas can be considered good..scored a first this Xmas, gotten a present from my sis..basically was a bit stunned as we dun exchange presents as a rule. Well, now I have one more NIke shirt to wear..been recieving shirts like nobodies' business and I am not complaining! Haaa!

Utd playing Bolton tonite hope that Utd pull thru..since I can now focus totally Utd..hahaha..sad huh?!? Of cos, its sad lah but its life so its ok.(i hope)

Its finally up! finalised the code for this site for the past 2 days. lots of tinkering here and there its was tiring but at least, it keeps one occupied. After all, the idle mind is the devil's workshop, or something to that effect. Bid llanowar farewell, my dear friends.

Pls do leave a msg on the shoutbox if u drop by...feel free to comment on watever shit I write, after all, I am very open to suggestions.

Let's all enjoy this sunny yet chilly Boxing Day. :D
