"Michelangelo said...The danger in life is not to put your goal too high and never being able to reach it. It's to put your goal to low, and being able to reach it. That's the danger in life. Me, I always put my goal very high."


Hardy is such a TIT he wont stand a chance.

Fare the Well !

Mr Rodney Ng Chee Han

whos probably in Singapore and back to Kuching after that.
quite an emotional farewell as me, Romesh and Praveen went to his apartment and said our last goodbyes.

my first ever (and probably the best ever) roommate in Melbourne

on that faithful Sunday at approx. 10pm (cant remember the date ; all i know is the next day was the first day of Trinity College )
i went back to Arrow on Swanston, theres this head peeping out of his room wondering whos at the door.
Typical Rodney went out with his pajamas (Land Cruiser shirt? and brown elastic pants all tucked in) and said Hello and introduced himself.
the start of one hellofa friendship.
roommates till mid 2008.

late night talks before bed
lets not forget his Wednesday Trinity attire ; a blue 'World Without Strangers' shirt with shorts and slippers (black reebok robocop shoes during winter)

his never ending packets of IndoMee (the original ones not those at safeways) ; we ate so much that the empty packets overflowed from the rubbish bin till out the door!

his catch phrases "chow kuku lan momo ngok ngok ngok"
his disgustingly unique burp

i can go on and on and on...

here's to all the memories Rodney!
goodluck with everything and all the best!!

a short walk in the light of the world

with breaks for coffee and snacks

GET WELL SOON

not another one!?

GET WELL SOON AARON RAMSEY !

and if you have the time, this is worth the read
thoughts on the tackle

the past week...

It has been an eventful past week for me.

First up I went to the All Time Low gig at the Hi Fi with The Almost and Dance Gavin Dance as supporting acts.

This was the first time i went to a gig by MYSELF. It felt a little awkward lining up alone for an hour.

one of my biggest regret was going WITHOUT A CAMERA because i dont have one of those compact camera :( :( :( :(

despite going alone (and the benefit of squeezing through the front with ease)...

I got to see The Almost so its kinda 'killing 2 birds with one stone'. Plus, i heard Dance Gavin Dance for the first time (although im not in to much screamO they arent that bad). They got the crowd pumping ; starting the mosh.


I was lucky enough to avoid those pushing and shoving as I was all the way up in the front ; the stage was literally reachable. I got to stand next to a sweet and the most friendly girl ever *ahem*

All Time Low opened with 'Lost In Stereo' already the crowd went freaking crazy!
throughout the gig, shirts and bras were thrown on stage. yeeish.

Alex from All Time Low pulled out the acoustic guitar and played 'Remembering Sunday'. Towards the ending of the song (the part where Juliet Simms sang) Cassadee Pope from HEY MONDAY came out!


this made my fcking night!
at the end of the show (i think it was 'Weighless' they were playing i forgot) Jack went to the crowd and hugged and shook everyone's hands (including MINE!).
I was drenched, moshed, and trampled on but it was fcking AMAZING!

I got a chance to catch a drum stick but instead i ACCIDENTALLY grab a girl's boob (woops)
dont worry the 'victim' didnt mind because she caught the bloody drum stick (not MINE) HAHA!
so its all good

ooh ooh, after the show i got to hang with the whole band from Dance Gavin Dance!
Matt (kickass of a drummer) was so friendly ; he even asked everyone to come hang with them at a pub somewhere.
the ONLY picture i took was with him (Matt)


I GOT TO SEE ALL TIME LOW AFTER ALL THESE YEARS !!(i missed them back on 2007)

well there it is. such an amazing night!

--
phew, quite a chunk of words there.

I am also now a QUALIFIED Barista !
did a (really short) course on how to make coffee.
it definitely made me appreciate coffee a hell lot more!

currently looking for part time jobs to occupy myself on my free time!

thats about it i think
next up... FUTURE MUSIC FESTIVAL !!!

GONE FISHING

figuratively, so to speak

Goodbye EDIT (Side A)

i'll make this brief
i'll do a proper one when my head is straight.
when im not rushed


it has been a really realy good year (plus and minus)
once again i bid you
goodbye, Melbourne


-----------------------


"i tried every approach to living
i havent tried everything but i tried every approach

sometimes you have to try everything to get the approach

i tried it all
i bought a bunch of stuff
i came in and out of that a couple of times

thought i should shut myself off
i thought, maybe thats cool
maybe thats what you have to do to be a genius
to be mad

so if you get mad before the word GENIUS
then maybe you can make the word genius
then you can make GENIUS appear, right?

that doesnt work either

i made a lot of stuff happen for myself
thats a really cool sentence when you're in your twentees
"i made it happen for myself"


what am i trying to say is that i messed with all the approaches except for one
and its going to sound really corny but thats just LOVE
thats just LOVE

i've done everything in my life that i want do (well maybe not)
to except just give and feel love for my living

and i dont mean like roman candle firework, hollywood hot pink love
i mean like, i GOT YOUR BACK love

i dont need to hear I LOVE YOU
you guys love me, i love you
we got that down

but some of the people who would tell you that they love you
is the same people who would last have your back

so im going to experiment with this love thing
giving love, feeling love..

i know it sounds corny but its the last thing i got to check out before i check out"

couldnt have said it better myself....

The Irony

i wish this was a tv show

easy answers

endings wrapped up in a bow

but this is real

and its gonna end bloody

thats just how its gotta be

blah

I've got the blues but i shook them loose

Slack Tides

man has been always drawn to the sea
but its an unnatural setting for us
a place of great danger

tides, currents, waves, wind
each presenting their own hazards
none of which could be ignored

the slightest laps of judgment
can be a mistake you might never recover from

but a good sailor doesnt fight against these elements
a good sailor works with them
using them to his advantage

while others less fortunate might be forever cast adrift
often in several pieces


he always comes home...

safely

PWNED!

From the rooftops of Brazil
to the fiery city Washington DC
and sandstorms of Afghanistan..

i conquered Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 !
the story is freaking brilliant and epic!

and the ending was.. woah.. dramatic as it can ever be!


this is Captain 'Soap' Mactavish,
signing out

this is not a love story

2 (unbelievably awesome) movies in one day is just too much
but i'd make this exception any day.

i think the author and I share some common grounds.






go ahead, call me a wuss.
i dont care

you look like a radioactive tampon

although this is just my second day as a 'free man'
i already ran out of things to do.
to think, i've got so much planned out after im done.

this is how i spent my free time so far,
and i admit its been good (but it has only been 2 days!)

had an awesome yumcha yesterday at Crystal Jade.
i ended up sleeping early and...

i woke up at 6.30 am (fully awake no kidding)
and so i tried to call as many ppl as i could.
i manage to get Romesh out and we had breakfast at European
yes, just the 2 of us.


after settling some bills (im productive today aren't I?)
i decided,
why not a movie at Nova, Carlton

it was either Heath Ledger's 'The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus'
or
Sam Rockwell's 'Moon'

and so i went with...


this was the first time i watched a movie at a cinema in the morning and i went alone
it was fun, the cinema was practically empty.

and the movie,
i could not explain how awesome this movie turned out to be....

im still thinking about it as we speak.
could easily be one of the best movies i've seen this year.
and Sam Rockwell played it so brilliantly
(my personal point of view, mind you)

I was literally almost in tears (and that dont happen much)
if you're patient and enthusiastic about movies like...
this would be IT

but somehow (again, my opinion)
i dont think enough people will appreciate the movie like I did



who needs Brad Pitt when we have Sam Rockwell !

blessed with another

new album
this time, its

EVERY AVENUE - PICTURE PERFECT


i should be a promoter

We have just lost cabin pressure

When you have insomnia,
you're never really asleep...
and you're never really awake.
