the homecoming kings

hell yeah! cat and dog are back in da house! went with beebam to meet em at the airport this afternoon, its been a long time...guess this holz is going to be damn fun~ was talking to cat over the fone just now, aye time might have passed, he might have picked up some accent that he blends with his singlish n hokkien vulgarities but he's still e same old jimmy cat who almost blew up my microwave oven when he stayed over with diyan 2 years ago. e good ole' days, but there're still many more chapters to add to this story.

10 reasons why Changi Airport rocks

1. Gateway to dream destinations
2. Clean and cool air-conditioning
3. lots of good food (popeye's chicken, burger king etc. )
4. efficient service
5. duty - free shopping ( vodka, chivas regal etc. without e alcohol tax!)
6. its open 24-7!
7. quiet - good for mugging
8. nice scenery of planes flying to places you can only dream about
9. Coffee Cafes( starbucks, coffee bean,coffe club etc. )
10.love is all around. departure hall - you see people crying cause their loved ones are leaving. arrival hall - people smile, laugh, hug, n jump for joy cause their husbands/wives/siblings/parents/family/lovers/friends are back.

beautiful song. too bad it ain't ever going to be like this?
Nat King Cole - When I fall in loveWhen I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.




she loves me? she loves me not? she loves me? she loves me not!

isabelle told me not to gripe bout my non-existent love life so i shan't...no point really if anything is meant to be it will be, if it ain't too bad. life's like that, God decides, he has a plan.i ought to stop msg-ing her, get along with life,spend time with friends, workout, study hard, read books try to be an aspiring academic with a nice bod. i wrote a description of my life after rugby ends a few weeks back...this is it, all i can ask for.

he trudged along the deserted quay on a sunday afternoon, guitar in one hand, notes in the other. his limbs were tired from the laps in the pool but his mind remained sharp. the empty cafe seemed like an oasis among the hosts of deserted and empty clubs and bars. settling in, he sipped his coffee and proceeded to strum his guitar, playing songs that remind him of a girl he can only dream of but can never hold. when he felt like it, he would switch to looking through his notes, scribbling them down in an attempt to commit them to a memory already overloaded with details and worries. as the day wore on and the sun began to set, he strolled along the river in deep thought. looking up at the majestic hotel set forth in front of him, he wondered when he could be in the suite, sipping cocktails and rubbing shoulders with people who matter. beyond that lay the club, with its white washed walls and green roofs, another place of meeting for those who matter in society, the high and mighty. sitting there, waiting for his bus he strummed his guitar. playing a song for the girl he loved but would never love him back, a song for the dreams that remain dreams. at least for now.

settle down, days of reckoning lie ahead

i wouldn't say that yesterday was awesome but it was fun while it lasted despite the averse consequences it has had on my sleeping pattern. thanks to those from 2a01a for dinner and all e post-bbq activities, not to mention the "later than midnight" shrek 2. after much deliberation and consideration, i guess i'll just have to gather courage n take the chance to ask. even if the answer is in the negative, i still have to clear everything up. they're right, its better if she hears it from me than have to bear with everything that's going around.even if it doesn't go well, i won't let it get me down. i can't. cause SATs are round e corner, n there's plenty i need to do. not to mention instilling a gym/swim/run routine. after 3 mths in the States, e jimmy cat is FINALLY coming back tomorrow! ROX!@ the days ahead ain't that bleak after all.

An End and A New Beginning

i think today i may have bid farewell and ended one of the greatest journeys of my life, Raffles Rugby. the chapter is closed, but a memory lives on. Now i have to look towards what lies ahead in life, A levels -blargh-, graduation, NS etc, maybe something more. -sigh- if only you knew the words i wanted to say to you. if only i told you. if only i ain't such a wimp in your face. that day when i waited for u like some fool outside of LT1 only to realize that you were not in sch yet made me want to fall apart and disapper into thin air. when i finally got to see you, my mind just blurred and blanked resulting in a 20 sec conversation through the photos in the concourse. argh. ppl say i don't fear on the rugby field, well actually i do just that its a different sort of fear n somehow i'm able to confront them. this is different. so many questions, i need answers. sigh. an omega and an alpha, i really wonder can life be cyclical and not phase-like?

Bic Runga - Sway

Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Its all because of you
Its all because of you
Now it all turns sour
Come sweeten
Every afternoon
It's time
Tell you why
I say it's
Infinitely true
Say you'll stay


Oasis - Wonderwall

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
