Silly. It sure is. I was contentedly sipping away my ice lemon tea when Von said he wondered how was it made. Well, its just so god-damn nice. Sour yet just right, sweet yet not too much. In short, it just leaves you yearning for more. Then, i recalled i use to prepare ice lemon tea before. I tried to explain how it might be prepared and e ingredients required. But, I couldnt get it right. No i cant. Those things, that was once a routine probably, but somehow, i cant remember it exactly.
Some things, you so desperately wish to forget, but a day, a month, a year, it still stays, remains, so fresh as if it had happen only yesterday. Yet other things you probably thought you might want to remember, gradually, sliently slipped away when you least expect it.
Hmm, getting kinda emotional there. It must be because of Hacken Lee. Was listening to his songs as I'm writing this. Though i cant understand a word, but there just seems so much sadness and anguish in it. So negative, making one becoming all so emotional. I cant deny he's a really really superb singer. A year ago, he's a who.is.he to me, yet a year later, i'm listening to at least 3 of his songs at a go. Life is just so full of unexpectancies.
Always expect the unexpected.

Geezzzz.... i just gets so upset everytime i have a hairstyle. Cos i felt i became a real geek. The fringe is too short really. Wonder how long i'll take before my hair grows longer.
Von was asking me which part of me i like most. Frankly, i never really thought of it. Strangely, i replied, "eyes". Probably cos that's e part i look at most? But, if i had e chance to say it again, i'll say none. Cos there isnt really anything i particularly like.
We've been travelling hell lotsa today and having only him for companion today, i had no choice but to be more spontanous and full of bursts of energy. I bet he must be pretty puzzled as to why i'm rattling away half e time. Well, it turn out to be pretty fun, though i was pretty burned out halfway through that i just remain quiet. Its fun cos at least i dont hear those annoying grumbling of his. It just pyschos one to be real negative about things and as though e whole world owes you. Half listening to him during e later half of e day, i caught something that made me grinned to myself in silence. It goes something like we're discussing what we'll put at our dream houses and he suggested i can bring 树林 home. Hah, that would be fun.
Listening to 飛花 by 李克勤.
Fluffy snow flakes fluttered above my head
How can one hope that the warmth would stay for long
that the imprints on the snow would remain
just like those brilliant fireworks
but the scorching-hot heat stayed
the imprints on the hardened concrete remained
just like those brilliant graffiti

Came back pretty late today and settle down infront of e television watching e news, as i ate from e packet box. Its seems donkey years since i last watched e news. Felt real ignorant as i simply had no idea of e recent happenings, like e murderer cases, riots in india etc. Reminds me of e good old days when i watched e news almost everyday? Come to think of it, i pretty much enjoyed watching e news.
Its only e beginning and i kinda dread it. Imagine spending 2/3 of e day in e office. Well, e other 1/3 is at home, doing some last minute relaxing, lazing around and tossing oneself into e bed. Sheesh.. But despite that, i'm beginning to like it at times, that isnt a good sign, is that? Its pretty insane if you think of it.
Today is only monday and i'm suffering from monday blues. Not really true actually. Was kept pretty busy today and was kinda shocked when i realise time passed so quickly.

Finished Stairway to heaven finally. Seriously, wasnt too pleased with e ending. Why cant they just end up together eventually but have to be separated. Was really touched by Han Tae-hwa (Tae Oba), dying so that Jung suh can regain her eyesight. See!!~... he isnt a lousy guy at all, wonder why many dislike him. I guess even e lousiest people have their supporters too. Just like JJ.
Finished FMA too. I must say its has lotsa twist at the end. Though e truth behind e homoculus is really disappointing. Some lame obasan wishes to live forever, that's why kept them alive to work for her. Hmmm.... but i do find that part beyond e gate really interesting. Luckily I managed to watch the FMA movie to understand e whole thing better. The world beyond e gate, where science and technology flourish and alchemy became a myth. I wonder if there exist another world, a world parallel to us, where magic flourish instead of science and technology. Where humans still used simple weaponary or magic. But e strange thing though is, if in Eward's world, alchemy flourish while science doesnt, then why are there stuff like trains?
As for the bit on equivalent trade, i'm still pretty puzzled. Is e author trying to say its just a totally unrealistic idea that only kids would believe in. Like babies died e moment it was died, what did it gain by dying? Nothing. No, we cant really say that, cos e life after death, we aint sure. So, life ending in this world might meant a new life starting in another world. As for e hommuculus, i guess its equivalent trade, by gaining an immortal life, they had no soul, thus couldnt live like a normal human.
But, if given a choice, i would prefer to live in Edward's world than e parallel world that existed. Cos in e parallel world that existed, its seems all so gloomy and its on e verge of war. Compared to a vast grassland and wonderful people like Winry, Mustang, Al and hommuculus too.
The other thing i want to stress is, not only FMA was nice to watch, e songs kick ass too!!!
Went to e crementation on friday. Somehow, i had never been there been for and was pretty striked by e fact that e place was so beautiful. The landscape and surrounding is so soothing. Von said that was done so as to make e families and friends felt less depressed. A calming effect. Why are even crying, we dont even know what exactly after a person dies, probably a new world awaits, perhaps e soul and memory would disperse. If that's e case, why do we cry. At least that person has spent a great time with us when alive.

Dont know why i'm so easily pissed recently. Just felt so easily irritated. The least i want is having to report to anyone nor keep answering questions. Ended up drinking yesterday and it was hell lotsa fun. At least, i dont have to answer to anyone, but just booze all e way and listen to D crap e hell out. But things aint always that perfect, i had to put up with some lame ball game they're playing. Geez...i certainly didnt take e bus and train all e way to play ball games.
Sometimes, i felt so silly, going so fiercely on those booze and getting myself a real headache today. Freaking idiotic. I was so irritated by it that i rreally wanted to just dup back on e bed and back to sleep. Anyway, things got better soon.
There's a pop test today and i scored full marks despite guessing some. Just as i wish to proclaim to the world how good my luck was, crisis strikes. Yeah, made a huge blunder and i could jolly well be paying a dear price for it. No, bosss didnt say much, but who knows. Dear ridinghood-san didnt know either till e wolf opened its mouth. Nevertheless, when something lousy strikes, some good strikes elsewhere. I guess this might have drove us closer together, after all, we've been through some tough times? Its bimio how e gooddest person can be corrupted under circumstances. Angels only exists in books.
What does it take to tame a wild horse? *shrugs* A horse that is so use to a carefree life, despite given a good stable, fresh water, top grade hay. It might stay content for a while, but soon, it would crave for that freedom it once had.
To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894)
Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad. (I say those must have most probably had a couple too many)

Some random shots/drawings i did along e previous months
This was taken quite some time back, i think it has grown a lot since then! Please lor...its not a rubber fishie, definitely not those inflatable ones. Fishie..i really like it. It just swim relaxingly around e tank. Those calmness...ahhh. Unless its new pal, like some scaredy cat.
This sweetie..not mine. Saw it at the pet shops when i went to e beach long ago with Bin and we passed by this shop. Sunday, February 05, 2006
Had a tired sleep. Hmm, was dozing off as i was watching Stairway to heaven and in this kind of state, i can think of nothing, but to find a nice spot where i can doze off nicely. So i convinently(Shessh, i can never learn to spell this word) leapt on brother's bed which is behind me and doze off. Not sure why, probably because of e noise outside, there just seems to be tons of noise outside e house..
okok...i got to learn to stop complaining. I certainly dont wish to be some grumpy old geezer everyone dislikes. WAs with sl yesterday and i realised i ought to be more than hamster, grumble less and be positive about life. Life is just too short to waste on grumbling. Rather, i should use that to understand e people around me better. Felt a bit ashamed that despite knowing binz and folks for 2 years now?, i didnt really know much about them. They seems like friends whom i'll look for when i wish to have some fun and that's it. I hate e way things are now.
Went for a swim yesterday and it was real great, though i was freezing cold at e end of it that i stood there with my teeth making noise. Come to think of it, yesterday was really fun cos we went to a lot of places and did lots of things which i dont usually. Like having a nice lunch and swimmming with no crowds in sight, visiting a park and having sesame paste. Yeah, probably i should be touched for getting a bowl of paste(how hard it must be to turn sesame seeds to paste).
Pretty surprised to see my picture on wg's blog. Haha, indeed its been a great night of games. He ended off with Patience is a virtue.
ME?
I should learn to be slow to anger and be patient too.
Off to a shower and dinner.
Found this and thought its funny to decode my name as well ..

Today is my second time eating e infamous dish during CNY. Everyone wants to dip and lift to a bright and prosporous year ahead, so its a total mess at the end of it, and dirty chopsticks to kick start to a fabulous meal. Its pretty yummy i must say. But funny is e part that we pretty much kept to ourselves or rather our clique of people and there isnt much interaction across e whole table of people. Its as though we're having a meal with e people near to us.
Nice to a little television that was attached to a karaoke system. That meant a mixture of new & old hits. Though i didnt sang at all, but its definitely entertaining to watch others sing as we had our fair share of laughter too.
Learned something new today. By wetting the rim of a cup filled with water, and continously going round and round e rim, you can hear a ringing sound which is pretty loud!!
Dead beat today, but pretty fufilled? Something i saw made me be reminded of e days where i learned about cements and concrete. Geez, its awful long ago, so i can be excused for thinking admixture was e coarse & fine aggregates used in concrete?Yes, yes, at least i will remember this clearly for quite some time now. Seriously, there are so many stuff i have to refresh my memory on. Hmm....
