depressionized

been back for 3 days. hmm... 3 days, sounds so pitiful.

still can't adjust to the idea of being back here. it's like i forgot to pack my mind back with me when i boarded the plane. everywhere i go, everything i do, reminds me of that land so far away.

flashbacks.
visions.
daydreams.

i remember one time i was walking around some residential area in coogee taking pictures when an elderly lady walked past with her dog. i was shooting the other way so i was startled when the dog barked. to pacify both him n the lady i gave them a smile. wat the lady said chilled me.
"it's ok ******(forgot dog's name), he's not carrying a gun."
whoa
so i quit the place before twilight fell.

letterbox

this one swee

beautiful dawn
lights up the shore for me
there is nothing else in the world
i'd rather wake up and see with you

beautiful dawn
i'm just chasing time again
thought i would die a lonely man
in endless night

but now i'm high
running wild among all the stars above
sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

beautiful dawn
melts with the stars again
do you remember the day when my journey began
will you remember the end of time

beautiful dawn
you're just blowing my mind again
thought i was born to endless night
until you shine

high
running wild among all the stars above
sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

will you be my shoulder
when i'm grey and older
promise me tomorrow starts with you

getting high
running wild among all the stars above
sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
high
running wild among all the stars above
sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

revelations

found the spider alive n kicking after one month without food.
revelation:
resilient little sonofabitch.

had a packet of duck rice for lunch today.
revelation:
servings (brekkie, lunch, dinner, dessert, watever) in aussie were at least 1.5 times that of sg. still hungry.

saw my reflection in the mirror just now n collapsed in horror.
revelation:
the above-mentioned revelation holds true. i am now 1.5 times my original size. faint again.

damn them for making such great food. no choice, really, had to finish every last morsel.

i loved the place. wish i din have to come back.

cars. lovely.

been here 2 weeks. lots of things to say bout this place.
today it'll be bout cars.

the roads
drivers here r the most friendly n courteous i've ever seen. signals actually work. they'd signal they're if going left or right or cutting lanes n the the cars behind them wud actually give way. when i witnessed it the first time i was like: WHOAAAAAA, IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!!!

then there's the siren. doesn't matter whether it's from a police car, ambulance or fire engine, whenever a siren is on nearby, all the cars wud freeze, locate the source, n give way to it if necessary. ever watched the prince of egypt, the scene where moses parted the sea? exactly.

n drivers here dun need sissy things like center dividers either. their idea of dual carriageways? a single white line or parallel lines in between. no need for idiotic curbs or fences like a nanny commie state where everybody has to be forced to do things like automatons. but then who's to blame? people here r rather 自動 n dun drive like fucking retards.

zhnged cars r a rarity here, but when u see one, it sounds UBERZHNGED man. with matching bodykit n everbling rims. saw many supras since arrival, one of which stood out among all the rest. it's got 2 spoilers, one on top of the other, n it looks damn cool.

cars here r damn cheap too, not to mention they dunno wat the hell a coe is.

for example:
nissan fairlady: 62,990
audi tt 3.2 quattro: 89,990
golf r32: 56,490
jeep wrangler 2.8: 35,490
jeep wrangler 3.8: 30,990

at least do it with some discretion. please.

+++++++++++++

shared the room with bekev, had great times. of cos he took the bigger bed.

****************

the queen bed was big n soft, while the single felt like a plank

bekev: wa! this big bed so comfy! i'm taking it!
me: where got like that one! scissor paper stone, best of three. winner takes all.
bekev: deal.

bekev won the first round

bekev: arhahahahahaha!!!! i win!!! u take that bed!
me: oei, u dunno the meaning of best of three issit?
bekev: oh.

i won 2 rounds

me: heh heh heh. u take the smaller bed.
bekev: u must remember who got the slip disc, plus i'm older, so u must respect me!

n so he got the queen bed, n he lived happily ever after...
****************

special thanks to masha for planning the entire trip so far in advance. n tolerating all the times we screwed up ur plans, n when bekev n i wasted valuable time straggling behind to take pics of the streets, places, people etc etc etc. so sorry to have been such a burden to u. take it easy next time n dun stress so much on planning, cuz the ultimate goal is to have fun! once again, thanks babe!

'twas like an adventure! loved it!

typhoon boulevard (& other stories)

got woken up by mum at 9am yesterday. she had to attend court in half an hour's time, n she needed me there as a translator. looked at the watch, decided the toy car wasn't gonna make it, n decided on the 407.

got up, brushed my teeth, changed, went downstairs, saw mum in the driver seat, pointed at her then at the passenger seat, got in the driver seat, n moved off.

*********************
the drive

encountered a mofo rider. never tot they still exist(or, at least, in the right lane). think this guy just got his class 2 license or bike, cuz he was traveling at 80 on the rightmost lane n he wasn't cutting any cars. now that's all very fine, but not when u're the one behind him, rushing to court, n the penalty for non-attendance is prolly to see ur own mum locked up.
so i gave the horn a little toot.

he looked over his shoulder, gave his head a little jerk, n slowed down to 70. let me reiterate: on the rightmost lane.
that was it.

me: cb!
mum: 喂! 不要罵人啦!

decided to ease off, considering the fact the he prolly just got his bike n was trying to get used to the machine. followed him all the way from amk to the underpass. finally saw an opening on the utterleft lane n took it. it was then that i realized that he really was a mofo. cuz he accelerated sharply n tried to cut me off.

me: 哇! CCB MOTHERFUCKER!! 幹你娘!!! 去吃屎啦!!!

but anyway, he din follow through with the idea of cutting me off, prolly cuz my kinetic energy was already enough to pulp him n i wasn't about to touch the brakes anytime soon.

now dun get me wrong. almost any bike can 切 almost any car, so drivers, dun get any funny ideas. basically it all just comes down to how big ur balls r n wat they're made of.

his were made of jelly, n definitely way more petite than mine, by a lot. so off i went. almost gave him the finger as i passed, but then i've got more important applications for my finger, like digging my nose, so screw it.
*********************

reached the place, parked, tore out a coupon, walked to the entrance, picked up an incoming call, n found out that tristan's lawyer friend had just deflected the court date.
all for nothing.

stayed there for breakfast.

me: mother, 今天如果中什麼 summon 要扣分, 你幫我 tah har..
mum: 嚇! 你等久一點!
me: 不是因為你, 我才不會駕那麼快. 所以你 tah.

on the way home we stopped at a dealer which displays all sorts of classics.


ubercool. love it. but costs over 100k.

------------------------------
previously while out for lunch

bekev: oei latinsnake, y ur car there?
latinsnake(looking around): huh? where? where?
bekev: on that lorry lor. arhahahahahaha!

found at a restaurant...

for real.

when i was sick it took 20 minutes to chew the stem half

leftovers from same meal. unprecedented.

went to mustafa with bekev to get some spices.

me: i think they dun open 24hrs anymore leh...
bekev: no la, they still do!
me: no la, sure or not?

when we reached...

bekev: bro, look there. can u tell me wat's written there?
me: err... sony?

lol lol

the ultimate in tinting: tinted meter

无敌!!!

yes, i'm guai lan.

door at lta. poetic.

gathering of brothers
mini gathering lolz

mini-pylon. felt like gulliver in lilliput
now that's really a little boys' wee wee room.

如果. 虫.

been two days now, n i have yet to see the end of this. the gum on the right side of my mouth is still swollen, n now it hurts just to munch on tofu.

went to the doctor yesterday, can't believe i almost begged him for a shot. yes, this is one tough son of a bitch little motherfucking bug. even more unbelievable is the fact that he refused my shot, saying it wud help bring the fever down, but not the flu.

while it's severe enough to encourage me to complete the whole course of medication, the down-side is i dun feel myself all the time like i'm dream-walking or what, the cough mixture's like a bloody drug n my driving goes to hell right after drinking it, n i can't taste anything cuz my tongue's numb from the combined effect of the flu n the lozenges.

just watched pulp fiction
i'm loving it!

get used to it, ladies.
unappealing as it may be, the alternative doesn't bear much consideration. like being a nun.

or u can of cos choose to be les-be-friends. n in the future when mankind has finally succeeded in cloning humans n we wudn't be needing each other we'll split and actually become 2 species/races. then we'd go colonize different worlds and never see each other again. of cos, the age-old practice of physical pleasures can then be totally avoided cuz when u wan little clones of urself running around all u gotta do is enter one of those cloning booths that's gonna be as abundant n convenient as telephone mobile phones r right now n drop a few dollars. well i wud have said a few cents, but then the gov wud prolly still be around, n more than likely as intellectually challenged as they r now, n wud of cos require the excessive payment of a levy commonly called 'tax' in order to sustain their unwanted existence. but i'm side-tracking. anyway, separation can happen when mankind has perfected cloning n space travel. then we'll pack all of u in sardine cans n blast the lot of u into outer space. of cos earth goes to us, u din suppose we're called MANkind for nothing, now did u?

woot, think the cough med's taking effect

parleys

went to a new temple at punggol.

***************************
overheard the female monk/nun/priest talking to another family bout the ash altars

family: 一個台位要多少?
she: 最下面的要五千, 最上面的是三千八.
family (pointing to those eye-level ones): 那中間那些呢?
she: 這些比較貴. 要八, 九千.
family: 雙人的呢?
she: 雙人的雙倍. 還有那些面對佛牆的就更貴了....

yes, they come in couple lots now.

then renne was thinking that was alot

renne: then will burials cost less?
me: u wait long long. these r like hdb flats. burial plots r like landed properties. which one u think cheaper?

***************************

then we found out the temple was government-owned, n i decided it was a good thing we din choose a spot here.
wat if one day the gov decides to en-bloc the place?

+++++++++++++++

enjoyed some idle chat with aunt's husband who's living in the states.
he was trying to entice me to go there to carry on my studies.

in his words, cooper s HERE = monster + m3, with spare THERE
OR
cooper s HERE = normal bimmer + 12ft speedboat THERE

for those who require visual illustration,in sg

so it's time to ask our dearest white-garbed nannies:
WAT THE FUCK MAN?

appallization

went to the hospital last night cuz of grandma's wound infection which happened way after the operation. hmm, wonder who we have to thank for this.

*************************
tristan n renne got hungry, so they went down to the 7-11 to get some food.

prolly taken in by the alluring pics

the awful truth*************************

today at the hospital we all went out to have a quick one. renne followed my example n squatted down next to me.

the problem:
i'm wearing tee, jeans n boxers
she's wearing shirt, shorts, n ah ma teh kor

me: oei 妹妹, next time u wanna squat, dun wear ah ma teh kor can?
renne(shocked): calvin klein horrr!
me: maybe, but still looks like ah ma teh kor. lolol!!!

*************
