[ 1025. Wallaby Express ]

Hey hey. Finally i get to use some internet after three weeks.

I'm still in rocky. For those who heard about my accident back a couple of weeks ago, i'm fine, though i was like having mild concussion for a couple of days.

In other words: I'm still alive. Hahaha.

So well, i'll be back real soon. Like in a month.

And money is flowing like water here. Gosh.

[ 1023. Last Post For Now ]

Yeah, i guess this is gonna be my last post before i fly. No, i'm not flying tonight, but mom's gonna bring back the laptop tomorrow to school and i doubt i'll be kayzua and find a computer somewhere else just to blog... unless i stumble upon one. Haha.

Hansel snubbed me today ok. So what if i got the camera for 200 bucks more than what you could probably get in japan. Well, if you consider flying on nwa there... that adds about 599 bucks minimally, not including taxes. Well. Ah wadever.

Got a few orders of kangaroos when i went back to unit today. Hahaha. If i didn't remember wrongly, thomas wants one, brian wants one, yc wants one, nick wants something else. Like soft toys. Haha.

So people.... take care ok. Get used to the fact that i'm not around. Muahaha. I shall be back to sing carols into your ears........

Lastly, lastly. flight details. I'm leaving tomorrow evening on QF52 to brisbane at 2120. Should be at the airport by 1900. Anyone wants to send me off? Haha. I love surprises. ;)

So till we meet again...

[ 1022. Dbl O ]

Once again.. i stepped into a club. Hahah, ok la, it's not been a very long time since i last clubbed, but it's just that it may be the last time i'm clubbing this year so well. It's a pity i couldn't get into momo yesterday, that's why we had to settle for dbl o. Well, the problem when you're in the transitional years. Some place can go in, some cannot. It makes matter worse when girls age req's are different. But well... heck it la. Went with e 18da wallaby ppl, as well as one of lionel's friends. That makes four of us.

We didn't really drink much (i think). 6 jugs and a pop among four of us... not a lot right? Haha. So i didn't really get drunk, though i felt a lil high halfway thru the night. Perhaps drank too much at a shot la. Lionel and i both agreed that the pop 'woke' us up. Suddenly you just like don't feel very drunk after that. Lolx. Calvin and mingwei were like walking in zig-zag patterns while on their way out... muahahaha... so the night was complete. lionel's and my aim is complete.

At a time like this, i believe i'm the only one who's awake now. Haha... cuz got consort later ma...

"Oh God let us speak, a generation that seeks, seeks your face, oh God of Jacob..."

Today will be my last service before i take a 7 week hiatus from the weekly fellowship. Just had a lil gathering with those pal last night, together with some messages that bo was supposed to pass on to us as well. And so they are starting on the christmas plans pretty early this year. Looking back last year, i wonder if i should call the grp's effort in pulling the christmas harvest a 'flop'. But well, even if it was, i was one of those who contributed to the 'flop'. So hmmm. Haah. Never mind.

I ponder once again, will i cope when i come back. My laidback nature, my indifference to many matters and such are not exactly positive factors. But well, i shall pray and see i guess.

[ 1019. Camera - Sold ]

I never knew that selling a camera could be so draining.

Well, firstly, i sold it at only 14.2% of its original price 18 months ago. According to the sim lim syndicate, no one would take it in for anything more than 100 bucks. So at 110, it was considered a steal already. I needed that extra moolah anyway.

As i walked out of the shop, i was like thinking, well, after the camera's been with me for so much time, it's really a waste that i have to let it go like that. But well, it's beginning to show signs of ageing already: focus' a bit off, scratches and dents (that i never saw until today), and shortened battery life. Well. But all those wonderful ten thousand pictures that it went through with me. Cafe cartel. Soup spoon. Canada. Army life. Project items. And many, many other stuff you saw on my blog before. Yeah. Felt kinda nostalgic about it. In fact, it's been a trusty pal all along.

Well, i'm hunting for my new matey tomorrow. Most likely, it's gonna be a lumix fx 8, considering that it has a image stabilizer and canon's pretty pricey for me now. Yeah. Any other recommendations dudes?

[ 1018. Magazine ]

After working through OT two days ago more time spent on finishing up my portion, i'm done with it only to know that the meeting have been postponed. Argh.

Never mind.

I changed my money le. SGD1.281 = AUD1.000. So expensive, but too bad la. Cheapest we can find le.

Well, i suddenly realized that i ain't got much time left. Bleah.

In case i didn't say before, i guess i'm be blogging minimally when i'm there. For obvious reasons.

[ 1017. Rattles ]

I'm so proud of myself.

Out of the dunno how many k's i got for my overseas allowance, i merely spent 70 on paying bills, 30 on giving some people a treat, another 10 on buying comics and a last couple of tens dunno gone where. I'm placed like a third of it into my another account as reserves. Now awaiting to change half the lot into aussie dollars. The rates are like freaking high now. Tsk tsk tsk. Even lil india only offers like 1.29 sing dollars per aussie buck. So expensive.

Well, i'm slowing removing the stuff from camp back home. And i realized i don't have much space at home to keep all my barang-barang. Jialatt....

And this is like one of the worst coordinated exercise i've ever been to. One week prior to departure, i've yet to know my flight details. Baaah.

[ 1016. Departure Date ]

Oh people. I MADE A MISTAKE!

If i've been telling you i'm leaving next wednesday, i'm not.

I'm leaving on the ELEVENTH, tuesday.

Should be the nighttime flight ba. Around 9pm. Will keep you posted.

Bad news is: this time round i probably won't get to a internet terminal so often. So perhaps, minimal, or even no updates. Yeah.

[ 1015. Consort ]

A ham sandwich on one hand, the other hand trying to act fast upon the keyboard.

A cup of milk tea, slowing letting off steam by the side of the bed.

Recalling the day's event, the day's many conversations, laughters and cheers.

Weiwei commented today that we three are pretty crazy people.

I couldn't agree more.

One, i barely knew for three weeks. The crazier one, i hardly know for a week. And we were chatting like old friends, cracking stupid jokes and such at one another. Knocking each other's head, teasing each other about not needing airbags in case of an accident.

He commented too. "Wah, this guy not bad ah. Only a few weeks in consort and now become so sociable."

Lolx. I realized i'm somewhat bi-polar, if that's the word. I have the social skills to mingle and make friends easily. I crave for attention. I want to be known.

But i want my space. I want to my privacy. I want to have secrets.

Ah well. That's where the chinese saying comes into place. "Xiang jian rong yi xiang chu nan". I'm someone to xiang jian with, not to xiang chu.

But well, there are people that i want to xiang chu with.

Ok, back to the trio. And we even cracked up a story to lead nelson chua to believe that we were actually classmates in primary school. The worse thing is, he believed it. And his justification was that we had no reason to lie to him. Ahhh. occupational ills. He's a lawyer.

I'm beginning to love consort. =)

[ 1014. Driving Test ]

For the record, i failed my test with 36 points. And i felt sad for only like.... 5 minutes? Haha.

Dunno leh, think God gave me peace la, though i think the tester didn't.

That i could actually walk out smiling from ssdc. Lolx.

But anyway... i didn't have had any immediate failure la. Just a little bit of points here... then a stupid van driver who horned me there... bleah bleah bleah. You know the rest of the story.

Shannon left at 9:25 a. m..

gone.

will i be back?
i don't know.
maybe i've started elsewhere.
maybe never. again.
