For A Night, I Sleep on A Bed of Nails

i was drunk, i was getting emotional, and i was feeling all the aches.

was out last night, supposedly to Lollipop! @ MOS organised by SP, but the queue was too long and we settled at a pub nearby introduced by Ben. well, had some martel and beer, and sang some songs as well. haha.

i enjoyed myself, really i did. but, i couldn't help but to drop a tear when i saw you like this. i don't know what came over me last night and i'm not able to let go that quickly. oh well ...

anyway, thanks people for last night. i believe i couldn't get through the night without you all.

When will I sleep, on a bed of roses ...

Concert, Anyone?

This song is Making Love Out Of Nothing At All By Air Supply. other than trying to ask for company to the concert, read the lyrics. =D




I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the
then I know just when to dream

And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you
Everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and I know how to break 'em
And I always know the name of the game

But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all

Making love out of nothing at all,
Making love out of nothing at all...

Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
Like a spotlight

The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well it's nothing till I give it to you

I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make every promise that has ever been made
I can make all your demons be gone

But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really want to see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

Making love out of nothing at all,
Making love out of nothing at all...

Hope you all like it =D.

review of posts

i'm halfway through reading past posts. haha. how naive i was back then. forming the clique, going for the many outings, falling in love, falling out of love, drifiting, attending chalets, celebrating birthdays etc etc.

i had come a long way. 2 years of poly have changed me dramatically from a schoolboy to ... maybe a really wise ... no, a troubled old man. haha.

as i read, memories flowed back. things that i thought i never would have done, but i did. things that i thought would never happen to me, but they did. perhaps the most ridiculous, yet sweet and sour moment was the time when i fell.

i'm not elaborating on that, shall look at other stuff. was very sorry that i drifted away from the clique last semester, and that was the only down time (at that time) that i've experienced. all i did was work, jog, mahjong, study, sleep and eat. many negative thoughts too. not suicidal though, just being negative. things weren't going the way i thought they should be, making my life pretty miserable at times.

scoring 3.4 for last sem was perhaps the only comfort i could get. being encouraged to go overseas for ITP was yet another consolation. soon before i knew it, it's time to fly for perth. received presents, and the most significant one being yours. then i flew, and valentine's day came, which made me happy. 19th birthday was celebrated there, and 9 weeks passed quickly. i had two of the happiest days in my life, and it was down into the dark zone all over again.

haha. nothing much to say now. haha.

And now I'm picking up the pieces,
WILL be spending all of these years,
Putting my heart back together.

141

number 141 post. after 14 decades worth of posts, i'm starting afresh.

so this is post number 1 =D.

sorted it out and well, i haven't got enough sleep obviously. waking up at 330am and not continueing to sleep after that. not tired, but i guess i'll be worn out by noon.

the sun is shining, good omen? omens have never been good. haha.

When you go ...
Would you have the guts to say ...
I don't love you ...
Like I loved you ...
Yesterday ...

MCR

thank you =D

i'm happy to have you guys around. friends are still the best in the end. can't do without you all.

thanks niangzi shirley, you've always been a great help to me. and the rest whom i kept awake and those who made sure i'm alright. sorry to have troubled you all.

toughest decision ever, but I guess that's what I have to do =D.

perhaps

perhaps the number 13 is still an ominous number. some of you might know what i'm talking about. haha.

probation ... i hate it ...

i didn't commit any crime that the police have to keep me under probation, don't worry (i really hate this phrase now).

Honey why you're calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud.

My girl's in, the next room,
Sometimes I wish she was you.
I guess we never really moved on.

It's really good to hear your voice, say my name,
It sounds so sweet.
Coming from the lips of an angel,
Hearing those words it makes me weak.

And I ... Never wanna say goodbye ...
But girl you make it hard to be faithful ...
With the Lips of An Angel ...

touchdown ... 18 hours late

Qantas had successfully succeeded in experiencing major complications/slips/cock-ups every month when they delayed our flight for 18 hours. haha.

as many would know, that i was supposed to arrive in singapore on friday night, 9pm. however, due to a bird strike that imposed machinery complications, we did not take off on friday evening. parts had to be delivered from sydney and melbourne before the engineers could rectify the problem. it was at 530 (2 hours passed our scheduled take off time) that they made an announcement regarding this matter. and it was not until 730pm before we could collect our luggage and make our way to the prepared accomodation as Perth International Airport was short of staff.

so we checked in to City Gate Hotel for the night (arrived at 915pm) and we had our late dinner before tucking in at roughly 11pm. the bus came at 6am early next morning, and yes, we all had insufficient sleep.

830am was the re-scheduled take-off time. BUT, again, shortage of staff delayed our check-ins and everyone was seated only by 930am. that's 18 hours of delay. i'm not going to complain much about the incident, cause i thought Qantas handled pretty well - it all went down to the poor service of the Perth Airport.

so nothing much yesterday as i was too tired so i just stayed home after eating my favourite won ton mee at lavender.

went out for brekky this morning with my family, and meet up with Sarah at bishan after that. had lunch at Cafe Cartel and walked around as she shopped for bag, stationeries and some random stuff. sent her home after awhile as she needed to go to her granny's place.

year 3 commences tomorrow and i'm looking forward to it. wish me well!

I'm attached ... to you =D.

last post in Perth

i presume this to be my very last entry written in Perth, as i won't have internet access over the next few days here. reason? today is my last day of work. haha!

3 seems to be a good number. people like to count to 3, or countdown from 3. and 3 usually is the magic number to everything - 1 is always too little, 2 is never enough, and 3 is just right (yea, and 3 cheers and 3 cheers and 3 cheers for ______. sounds familiar aye?!). at the count of 3, if you don't go for a shower, there'll be no computer games for you tonight.

3 ...

and that's why today is a good day to blog, with 3 more days to go before we go home. can't wait till friday 1530 when we'll board QF71 back to Singapore. all in all, i've spent a lot here, mostly on food. thanks again to my parents for the supply, haha.

so what will we be doing over the next few nights?

tomorrow will be a catching up session with Grace at Freo as she'll stay here for at least another 10 months before her junior year ends and she might fly back to Singapore to see us, so i thought it's a good idea to meet up with her first. that'll be followed by the torchlight tour at Freo Prison at 2045 which i think will be thrilling. scary aye?!

thursday is the post ITP meeting with the person-in-charge in the morning and King's Park in the afternoon. haha, to think that we are visiting Freo Prison and King's Park on the last week here when both are the more popular attractions here is really ridiculous. we should have done that weeks ago. it's a little rush, but i believe it's alright. get back home and pack my bag.

friday will officially be our last day. we have planned to have breakfast at the hotel's restaurant, take a final walk around the city and finally, make our way to the airport! at 2030, we should be able to see the city lights filling the small island of Singapore and touchdown at 2100.

so guys, meet ups soon. saturday i'm free for the day while at night i should be having dinner with my family, but that is not confirmed yet. maybe we can have mahjong sessions, and well, be prepared to lose some money 'cause i'm dying to get my hands on those small little tiles. haha! sunday will be a day out with sarah and again, i have nothing on at night. book me people!!!

i have 2.5 more hours to go before doing some labwork ... ... ...

till then, i'll see you all!!!

practically doing nothing significant

viewing friends' friendster and facebook profiles, chatting with friends, listening to newly added albums, reading news, praying for liverpool (to win against arsenal in the CL game today), and blogging are the things i'm doing.

countdown is now in single digit - 9 days left!

we're not going to margaret river anymore, as far as i'm concerned. haha. well, it means more shopping and eating out! have been torturing myself with the boring breakfast and sandwiches for lunch. dinner? it's not that bad as i inherited the terrific cooking skills from my mum. haha! so what now?

monday - mac
tuesday - red rooster
wednesday - hungry jack's
thursday - subway?! nono, kebab maybe
friday night - lavender's foodcourt won ton mee. favourite.

haha. notice that they're all fast food, cause they're the cheapest fare you can get in Perth. but i like red rooster. it's something like kfc but their chickens are better.

or maybe durty nelly's, the irish pub my aunt recommended. heard that their portion of food is large and good.

anyway, there seemed to have a lot of lab work tomorrow, which is good. if the reagent doesn't come in tomorrow, my experiment will be delayed for 1 more day, and if it doesn't come in on friday, i guess there goes my 1-week holiday. haha.

weather report - max temp: 23 deg C

it's a damn ... cold ... night ...
