Violence & Blood.

Okay. So, what is really happening in Singapore? I don't know. I don't really follow the news much.

But seems like to me, the number of cases of violence are increasing. And fast. Please, let society be stable once more when I return. Else I'll have to tread carefully everywhere I go. Or maybe have a hidden blade with me, like in Assassin's Creed.

Anyway, the idea that my brother came up was pretty interesting. Something about humans (behavior?) going in circles. Like how secret society used to be evident in Singapore but tamed down massively over the years, and, are now picking up again. Funny how it's like fashion. Maybe being all gangster-ish & aloof is the in thing now. And perhaps youngsters nowadays feel like there's something they need to prove.

Or maybe. There is a greater force (not god) behind to which we do not understand. *Gasps* Okay, that was rubbish.

Hmmm... I don't know what to think of this right now. But, I'll pick the lines of youngsters feel like they have something to prove, you know? Like, self-worth? That they are actually capable of doing something, no matter what it is? This thought linked to the parents, that they're are belittling their kids.

Then again, maybe it's too much media about violence. Like they're being brainwashed. Though I turned out fine... Although I do...

Maybe it's the society's fault. I tend to like to blame society for everything (social related) gone wrong. Partly because society is everyone, and everyone blames other stuff for any mishaps that happens.

On a side note, I'm... about 65% to 70% set on going to Sydney. Mostly 'cos my heart's telling me to go.

Freshie Days are over.

Okay, I don't know what happened with the video. But I don't really care. Seriously.

Anyway, that's not what I'm here for. Just here to say, I'm done with semester! There goes the first year of studies for me. Starting next year, Year 2. Time flies pretty fast. So, now, wish me luck in getting a job. I know I'd said this numerous times, but it's kind of hard to find a job. That, or maybe I just suck at job-finding. Guess I'll flip through the papers tomorrow, among other stuff.

Got this Sydney trip planned in December. Frankly, honestly, I really, really, really, really want to go. But I'm a bit apprehensive about my finance. Then again, I want to go so so much such that I'm thinking of just going and stable my finance later. Not the wisest financial move here, I know. Oh, dreads. I hate it without a job. Damn. And I think it's been years since I'd ever wanted things so badly. I guess the last time must have been when I was in primary school, wanting a toy or something.

Yep.

So, after paper today, did a bit of job hunting. Searched, applied for 2 jobs. One at a supermarket, the other a retail shop. I'm waiting for my cousin to return & demand the ice cream shop employment vacancy paper from her. Hahaha. Then I'll do that tomorrow.

Today, drove quite a bit, I must say. It's been quite some time since I drove so much in a single day. Drove to school for my paper. It felt damn good. No need to rush, no need to struggle up the hills.

Then to the petrol station. Back home. Went to groceries (quite a lot too). Took my cousin to cut her hair. To get dinner, to pick up her friend, send them to dinner, went back home. I think driving at night in Perth is quite hazardous. It's kind of dark here. And one of my lecturer even said that Perth is nicknamed "City of Lights". Pf-ft. City of Lights my ass. Hahaha.

Quite tempted to go back Golden Boronia & work actually. Just for the little funds towards Sydney. Heheh. Guess I'll see how things work out this week.

2 more days!

I had not intend to blog, but since I don't think I can re-post this video up on Facebook, I'll do it here instead.

But words of caution first. It's not gross, but sick. And somewhat very disturbing. Not exactly for the faint hearted & weak animal lovers. It's about this female squishing a rabbit. Yeah... Animal violence.

Oh, and it's not my video alright.

I've seen a worse one before. About this Chinese lady (why is it always chinese?) murdering a kitten.

Got to set someone thinking, why are they even doing this in the first place. And it's not like they're alone, there's always a friend or more around with them. Entertainment? That's quite a sick entertainment, murdering other animated species which are totally defenseless. Pick on something their own size, then, that's entertainment. You know, like how they have the Colosseum for back in the days.

And that's not it, these people, they do so without flinching. And they were even smiling/grinning away. So then, I think my theory on humans being born bad is coming true. I mean, nobody in society teaches these kind of stuff. "How to murder cute & defenseless animals while having a good time 111". There will be an outrage.

Humans are born bad/evil & they learn good.

Then again, they all could just be psychopathic bitches. I'd noticed such incidents that I've come across, they're all females. So what? Females are much more unstable & dangerous? Hmmm...

Alright, back to studies. Stupid video making me waste time.

One last paper to go!

Cute, isn't it? Too bad the design is on a female's cardigan.

Remember the times, when Facebook wasn't even invented yet, and I don't know, Friendster or Blogger/Live Journal/Wordpress was all the craze. Then you have people hitting websites & doing quizzes, and then posting them results on their blogs? Hahaha. Here's one. In tribute to times before Facebook. Times before where almost everything is available or do-able on Facebook.

I'm a O84-C46-E9-A44-N18 Big Five!

Erm... So, that's a personality quiz. Hahaha. Yeah, was bored with studying, so figured I'd try something like this. Did a bit of falsifying information with the quiz at the very end. It's a silly quiz after all.

And I'm thinking I'm looking more and more like those samurai warriors as each day passes by without me shaving. I could totally blend into the Edo Period now. Hahahaha. It looks not bad, but I'll have to get rid of it. Soon.

Argh... Can't wait for Tuesday to arrive. Damn it.

So. Warm...

Is it just me? Or is it like freaking warm in here?

I'd checked the temperature. It's either 16 or 21 Celsius out there. I'm going with 21. Even so, it shouldn't be feeling like, say, 29, would it? Then again, maybe it's just me.

So, it's 1 paper down (on Tuesday), and 1 more to go (next Tuesday, I think)! Seriously, I'm not enjoying it. Although it should be easy, but I'm not feeling any sense of urgency at all. It's even worse than when I was in OCS, when there are tests coming up. Not kidding. Back then, when there was a test, I would be scrambling to swallow the book. Now, I'm lazing around, slacking, lamenting that there's nothing to do. I hate this part about myself. I really do.

And a note to self - stop working push-ups, try chin-ups instead.

Reminiscing.

Ahh... I really shouldn't be doing this at this moment, but I just got to. Else all this flashbacks & memories are going to drown me.

So, a few photos to just sum it all up. As in, really really-the-mother-of-all-sum-summation-sum.

And here... We have a scene from some MoE's campsite. Year 2004. This is an awesomely quick (too quick & awesome that it doesn't really do justice, but time is of the essence here) sum of all the friends I've made in Secondary School. Hah. Good folks, great company, wickedly neat friends. And a few of the best cliques I'd ever dive myself into. That's how great these people are.

But of course, there are others. Such as this group. Pretty significant group of people during my our JC Days. Thinking back, it's a funny scenario and situation how we came to be together. Childish & probably a force of situation. But I wouldn't have it any other way. This photo here, by looks, I guess was in early to mid 2008.

And just in case this other person passes by this humble space here. Trouble-Double-Duo.

And then, there's this another group of crazy girls in the same class as me in JC. Well, yeah. But nonetheless, fun.

It's kind of scary how the years have passed by, such that I have to refer to photos in the year they were taken in, instead of months. Signs of growing up huh.

And well, I'm not emoing here, mind you. I just promise this friend to help out with the assignment. So, sieving through some photos so that she can paint them. Yups. And, so, what choice but to chance upon these photos. I'm more of stifling my sniggers & laughters (it's 0231hours now) and grinning myself silly with seeing the photos.

I've also realised, that over the past year, I've gotten to taking more pictures of landscapes instead of people. That's quite sad in my opinion. Sigh...

So, I guess I can't wait to return now. Seeing all these people. Taking more photos. Hahaha. And of course, just to chill & hang around & out.

Old Spice

Watched a few Old Spice commercial. Think I'm going to try it for fun. Hahaha!

Had also been reading One Piece recently. And... Sad to say, but I'd caught up to the recent chapters in a manner of approximately one month. Actually, that's quite long, right? I wasn't even trying, honestly. And here's a picture from some time ago. Somebody commented I looked like the dude from the story... *shrugs*

So, my cousin had finally ended her sem's exams. And I've yet to start on mine. Crap. And my revision has started. But it's going at an extremely extremely slow pace... So unmotivated. Exams ah, exams. Faster come, faster go.

Just love that Old Spice commercial.

But, but, but. Nooo!! They don't seem to have Old Spice in Australia!

And browsing through Facebook, I just had a clear view of my CE cadet wing OC's wife. We heard she was an air stewardess. But damn. I say she's one of the better looking one though. Heheh. And their daughter looks pretty cute too. Good life. Pretty high rank in the army, good chap, pretty wife, cute daughter. Hahaha. If only I was guaranteed such a life if I'd sign on, I'll gladly do so. Hahaha.

Happy ORD.

Here's to a Happy ORD anniversary. Time does seem to fly by. I could still remember those days I had in NS, then the day I'd ORD. Guess that means my NS had been really fulfilling.

Yeah, there were really really extremely shitty days. Days which were so fucked up you can't believe it's actually happening. But, hey, it's passed & I believe that me & my buddies wouldn't have it any other way. I guess this means that what they'd always say is true. Something about what's important ain't the mission or the country, rather, it's the friend who's beside you.

And of course, who would give up a chance
to play with firearms & explosives?

Had a really, erm, weird dream the other day. If I remembered correctly, I was in a plane at first. Then it crash & I was stranded at this island with the other passengers. Weird stuff happened, people got slaughtered, murdered, killed. I don't know what happened to me. But I was kind of excited by what was happening. The strangeness of the place, the unknown, the fear.

Writing stuff like this down, I wonder if I'm alright. But I do like the unknown some bits. Not the modern context unknown though. Those, those are just plain mean.

Anyway, came across this interesting 'article'...

"Her Diary Entry
He was in an odd mood Friday night. We planned to meet at a pub for a drink. I spent the afternoon shopping and I thought it might have been my fault because I was a bit later than I promised, but he didn't say anything much about it.

The conversation was very slow going so I thought we should go Off somewhere more intimate so we could talk a bit more privately. We went to this restaurant and he was STILL acting a bit funny. I tried to cheer him up and started to wonder whether it was me or something else. I asked him, and he said no. But I wasn't really sure. So anyway, in the car on the way back home, I said that I loved him deeply and he just put his arm around me. I didn't know what the hell that meant because you know he didn't say it back or anything, this is really worrying me.

We finally got back home and I was wondering if he was going to leave me! So I tried to get him to talk but he just switched on the TV, and sat with a distant look in his eyes that seemed to say its all over between us.

Reluctantly, I said I was going to go to bed. Then after about 10 minutes, he joined me and to my surprise, he responded to my advance and we made love. But, he still seemed really distracted, so afterward I just wanted to confront him but I just cried myself to sleep. I just don't know what to do anymore. I mean, I really think he's seeing someone else and that my life is a disaster.

His Diary Entry
Celtic lost. Got a shag though."

Goes to show that man, can be really simple creatures at time. Seriously. Life's too short to put too much thoughts in it. No, wait. That didn't come out right. Hmmm... Can't... Think of a good way to phrase it. But I'm sure you know what I'm trying to say.

Ooh... So. Hungry. But I got to go sleep now. Sigh~

Well, all assignments for the semester have been handed in. Alright. 2 more papers, and it's freedom from semester!

Pretty interesting urinal. Hahaha.

Wine bottle carrier

How's this for a personal wine collection?

Specially for all my coffee lover friends

I would love to have this coffee table. And yes. It IS a table.

Some coffee shop visited at Margaret River. Or was it Swan Valley?

Did I ever mention that my uncle made a surprise move to visit us here? It was a pretty crowded week. There's like, my aunt & uncle. The brother(son) & sister(daughter). Then there's me & the other cousin. Then for about 2 or 3 days, there was also the sis's friend & her mum & her mum, I think.

The "Mammoth Tank" that was drove around when my uncle was here.

Erm... Atlantic crabs? I think so.

And it became chilli crab! Yums.

The range of Apple products.

Popiah day. Guess which is mine.

Got back home one night, and was bored.

Booya. My group report.

I did the last part. Hahaha. I realised that I can do quality work. But I can't take on too many work at once, else I will just crumble & die. Hahaha.

Been sometime since I've uploaded some photos. I still remember how I used to upload photos. Did that through Photobucket, 'cos Photobucket's upload is faster and more user-friendly in a way.

Issues, issues, issues. A person's life wouldn't be completed without them, I guess. No matter how unpleasant it can get.

I've been thinking. The future, as in 10-years-down-the-road-kind-of-future, is really exciting. Hahaha. Like, what's everything going to be like. What's the world going to be like. What's my friends going to be like. I don't know, but since settling down here, I find myself thinking more & more about the future. More than what I actually want to.

So, I have like, different friends with different characters. The stuff they like, I guess are different. It'll definitely be interesting to see how they are 10 years down the road. But the most exciting part would be when they have their own houses. Imagine all the design, all the decorations, all the funny little quirky details that would make up the home.

I guess I can only wait & see how it goes.

Went on over to Dalvin's place just now for dinner. Pretty good. Good food. Good wine. Good company. Kor's leaving pretty soon though. His time here is almost up. So, the reason for the gathering. And I think going to Dalvin's place, it's kind of getting me hooked onto wines. Hahaha. I suddenly have this urge to drink wine. Hohoho. Good thing alcohol is cheaper here.

Anyway, been chatting with this friend of mine. He's been on & on about this girl. I've been telling him to give it up & to move on, but he's finding it difficult to. I don't know. Is it just me or what? Maybe I've grown to be too happy-go-lucky that I'd managed to detach myself from such matters with ease. Still, it's just too long already. I think he needs professional help. Hahaha.

Been on for 2 days with hardly any sleep. Like, 2days on 8hours sleep in 3 and 5 hours session. So, feeling a little drowsy to continue blogging. Don't think I'm making much sense here either.

Highway to Hell

I really hate myself for procrastinating. I think I have an issue with that. Need professional help or something.

Main note. It's like hell out there. 36 degrees Celsius. And I have to go school. Argh.
