this time last year...

Ok...suddenly i have some feelings as i remembered the date today, its a time of saddness, tears, excitedness, that left me in a state of mixed feelings. That i feel i wanna write something.

This time last year, I was in the land of down under and looking around for an apartment under the 40 degrees sun. -_-I

Hmm..just a sense of nostalgic tonite.. that made me think how much things had changed since the past year. Going to study was a rational decision, though my heart felt not wanting to leave behind the things that i had, i felt its the only chance that i could experience life outside spore and at the same time complete my studies..and i've always wanted to travel too..


Hmm..the nite b4 i left i was presented with a great gift from my dear frds, the best present ever from them, done up thru their hardwork. Thats by far the one thing from them that touched me most.

I couldn't sleep the nite b4 flying. Cos i knew it was a risk that i was taking, having a long distance relationship.

Having heard that my frds lost their gfs when they left for aus..made me wonder how mine would end up. It definitely wasn't easy but i held on to the principle that with efforts put in, we will overcome the difficulties.
And I thought to myself how hard would it be?

However in life, there're lotsa things that's beyond control.

Hmm..10 mths is long enough to experience life there, and at the same time realise some frds that u weren't that close to in the past, are actually people who does matter to you. Encouraging Emails, msgs or letters were exchanged, and b4 we knew it, i was back in spore already!

I rembered my excitedness as i called a friend whom i've been in contact with when I reached home, we bantered bout how time really flies and we're actually surprised that despite the distance, emails kept us in contact with updates of each other.

Though now we don't wrtie emails now, it was still heartwhelming to know of friends whom feel that i'm worthy of their time to still keep in contact by writing.

I told myself that i'd deal with the r/s when i'm back in spore, cos i wanted to thiink with a clear mind, to prevent myself from making rash decisions.

And i'm thankful of my decision.YiPPee.



Dicky Passed TP!

Ok, that was a solemn entry. NOw i shall write something chirpier. *tweet*tweet* ok..that was lame..

ON the 17th February 2005 Thursday, DIckY passed his TP!!!! OMG..i was really excited for him when i got his call. . I've been waiting since 11, cos if you pass..it doesnt take long to know.

CONGRATULATIONS MAN!!!!!!!!!!

that was fantastic, after the ** points for the first test(that i almost fainted when i heard it, think don't write actual score), he got a score of 12 now! Two thumbs up for him!

All the hard work has paid off. And for peeps who wanna learn from bbdc sch, DON'T! cos they'll psycho you to sign up and by the time u get ur licence, its damn expensive, more than what they told you it''d be..

However, with feedback from him, here are some tips for pple going to take the TP:

5 sure pass rules

1) must be real polite to the tester, and i mean REAL.
2) wear short skirt(i disagree)
3) must be real handsome or pretty. hhaha, if neither, then the only thing that can save you is impressive driving techniques.
4) If tester takes out a donation card that belongs to his daughter's primary school fund raising, be prepared to donate.
5) if the above fails, then just relax , think through once b4 starting the test and just do it.

keek..ok, dicky must have used 4 out of the 5, cos skirts are not applicable to him.

But in actual fact, rule number 5 will be enough. hahaha.

We went to sakae sushi for dinner, man! i love jap food in spore! Its the first time i ate sakae since coming back and its nice nice..much more authentic then when i had in aus, they were puiz!
And i think its one of those few times we sat down and really toked ...2 hours plus we tok and ate. It definitely is great, cos good food+ good conversation, giv it to me anytime!

Toked bout stuffs ranging years back till now..and i realised i could tok bout an issue that i would not have been able to a few yrs ago, its not bothering me now baby!
Cos it takes time for me to get over it..n it has.

HMm..i can't rem what i'd wanna say, oh to digress a little, the monkey i talked bout in the previous entry, i bought it! And i just realised its an APE cos it doesnt have a tail. hhahaha. I mistook it for a monkey!

My brO n i came up with a name for him, its called Punch. Punch the Ape. AHAhahaa..funny or not?? we think it is funny. Its named that cos the hands seems like its punching too. And punch is spending the nite in my bro's room today, i lent it to him.

hehe. i very seldom have to buy softtoys unless i feel its god damn cute. like punch. the first toy that i truely liked is pappie smurf that i bought it when i was in sec 4 (Year 1999). 2nd is tigger from HK(Yr 2003), and this is the 3rd.

my collection consists of those 3, plus a pig called ..oink. One happy family of 4.

ok, i shall sleep...i'm writing bout toys at this time...can't be good..

goodniteZZ!!!
