Indigestion and stomach problems have got me pissing out of me arse.
Bleah

If I could wish for one thing, I would wish for the gift to write.
Although being a slow starter, I have always loved to write.
I never really told anyone because anyone who knew me knows that I can?t write to save anyone?s life.
Still I would love to be able to pen down my feelings.
To express every detail of my thoughts,
To be articulate about my every emotion,
To let someone else really understand what I?m trying to say or in this case read what I?m trying to explain.
And since I have yet to master the skill of writting, I shall just let John's picutre do the talking.

Back in my younger days between school years, I have always thought that getting a job was easy.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not being cocky here.
I was emphasising more of the fact that I was really lucky.
It was always one or two interviews before I got a job.
Now that I have graduated, I guess I could say that I have been moved up a notch, from the kiddie’s corner to the adult world.
A dog eat dog world where the strongest of the lot survives to live another day.
Considering that I have not actually or formally started looking for a job ,
(my first effort in looking for a job came on Saturday where I used half of my bodily strength flipping through the recruitment ads)
I can’t say that I am in that discouraged phase.
In fact I remain optimistic.
Not about getting a job but the fact that there are still advertisements in the papers wanting to recruit men like me… men of engineering background!
Yeah you heard me… ENGINEERS are MEN!
On a totally random note… any of you lot know how to get rid of the ‘Sasser’ virus.
I got my sister’s PC buggered and despite she being evil, it was my fault, so I got to get it fixed.

John is off to Japan and finally I have the room back to myself.
No more lazy antics and deliberate forgetfulness from that wee Scottish.
But even if I really wish to celebrate his departure, I can’t.
This damn humidity has got my nose leaking like a broken faucet.
whats even stranger is that when I’m in a clean environment away from the heat,
i.e. my room, I start sneezing continuously and when I’m in a dirty environment,
i.e. the road with its pollution, my sinus clears up significantly.
My body is such a nutter.

Got to know this fantastic Amercian fellow during my tour around Europe and when he got back home he sent me pictures of this grand-daughter.
She is the most adorable 2 year old I have ever seen!
I just have to share it with the whole wide world ...
ain't she cute.

Finally back in Singapore and am acting as a tour guide to John (my Scottish housemate) around Singapore.
I have covered Katong, Bugis area, CityHall, the Esplanade, Balaclava, Geylang( yes we drove through the famous red light district) and Orchard Road.
It’s a step by step process , so the next place will be Sentosa with the rest of the boys.
John will be here for a week ish, so anyone else have any suggestion where I might bring him?
oh and yeah of course I'm letting him try all our famous food.
Tomorrow will be Boon TOng Kee Chicken Rice and some Char Kuey Teow!
*yummy scrummy in my tummy*

When I first came to Newcastle in 2003, I was alone in an empty room in Castle Leazes or as we prefer to call it Castle Sleazes, because everybody sleeps with everybody.
My main concern was whether I could get along with my hall mates or would I be the odd one out, shunned away by the rest of them, like a rotten smelling shoe.
Now, coming back to present time, the summer of 2005, again I sit alone in an empty room counting down to till Sunday when I fly back to Singapore.
But no longer am I worried about the being alienated by the rest.
I sit here happy, knowing that I have made such great friends throughout my 2 years here, great friends that have given me such fond memories of this place.
As I count down to Sunday, I can’t help but reminisce of all the memories that I have had here.
The joys of Castle Leazes, from all of us gathering in the TV room watching Neighbours, an Aussie soap opera that most English people love, to the all the nights where we would gather outside our hall in our pjs, because some twat tripped the fire alarm.
The Sage of Newcastle, where I witness from an empty plot of land, constructed to become one of the finest contemporary arts and musical theatre modernising the quayside.
The “pain and suffering” of living in 10B North Terrace where I live with 2 northern Irish lads, where one is training hard to be part of the Great Britain rowing squad and the other a big friendly bald giant who absolutely cannot be separated from the internet, a rock star aspiring Englishman who lives in a farm in France, “feeding” sheep every day, a huge South African who loves drinking, golf and German Porn Stars, i.e. Gina Wild and a crazy Scottish who has a very critical comment about every kind of music you listen to.
Oh I’m going to miss Newcastle so much.

Parent finally gone, and am now sitting in the calmness of the library using the computers.
It’s funny how comforting I feel being on the internet after being away for such a long time.
* Yes… 9 days is long! *
The sounds of random people typing frantically on their keyboards and the soft humming of the CPU soothes my mind and heart tremendously.

Finally back from my family trip around Europe.
In the short span of 9 days, we covered bits of Amsterdam of Holland, Koeln of Germany, Innsbruck of Austria, Venice and Florence of Italy, Lucern and Lake Lugarno of Switzerland and Paris of France.
So you can imagine how rushing it was for me.
I wasn’t able to fully absorb each countries beauty.
And of course travelling coach also meant that we spent more time in the bus driving from country to country than the whole actually sightseeing and exploration.
My tolerance of travelling in vehicles has increased tremendously.
With saying that most can imagine the monotonous and dull ride that we have to endure throughout the whole trip.
But honestly I have to say that that is not the worst part.
Being stuck with my family for 9 whole days was the tormenting bit.
I’m not going to lay out all the dirty linen because most of you who read my blog know my parents.
So I won’t want to spoil that "wonderful" image you have of my family.
All I can say is that just being with them and being thousands of miles away from my friends made me feel so trapped.
I couldn’t breathe.
So when finally when we got back to Newcastle’s hotel and realised that the hotel has screwed up my reservation.
They gave us a big family room which could fit 3 of us rather than 2 rooms which could fit all of us.
I jumped at that opportunity and said that its ok, they can stay there whilst I crashed at Carol’s room.
They agreed and I went along my way with such a liberated sensation.
Well they are leaving tomorrow so I will be able to live independently for a good few days.
