As I move physically, my online persona moves with me. Don't worry, I'm not going missing. I am glad to know that there are online friends who are always there to encourage me. I will miss each and every single one of you. Will give a holler when I am back in Singapore. :) Take good care!
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go I'm ... There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say ... Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

The past week was busy. Plain busy. Meeting up with friends, packing, buying, getting things done and also slack abit. Emotions kicked in earlier in the week. I will sit by the bed and weep silently, wanting to chicken out, but preparations are done so I might as well just go. Things weren't going smoothly as well. Friend in London planned for a last minute trip to Sicily the day I arrived, so she won't be in. Private transport driver couldn't make it on my arrival time and I have to find my own transport and ended up with lots of miscommunications and 2 cancelled bookings. Sigh... Good thing now is, things are sorted out. Friend's housemate will be home to open the door for me, and I got another transport company who are more flexi with the timing to pick me up. (I'm afraid that I might get stuck at the customs for hours and ended up paying the additional per minute waiting charge for the driver.) So yap... The past few nights didn't end on a good note. I keep seeing my brother home playing the pc game when he was suppose to be doing his homework and his revision and so on. So I gave him the ultimitum. If there is only one thing I can be concern about when I am away, that will be him and his PSLE end of this year. Sometimes I hate being the eldest child. It seems that I am responsible for alot of things. Even if I'm not, I feel that I am. So I wasn't feeling exactly good for the past few days. And this is going to be the last "bad" thing that I am going to record down. I'm not going do remember any kind of these shit any more. Sometimes I wish I can just don't bother about all these things.
And I have been meeting R on every of his off days for the past 2 weeks. He's the sweetest guy that I have met; he brought me out for nice food, drove me around to run my errands, he offers all kinds of help to me and he talks to me and we talk lots of shit and crap everytime and laugh like monsters. If anyone asks me if I would marry him and I'll probably say yes. But too bad he is engaged. And that puzzles me. Can you love someone and probably like another person very much at the same time? And dividing your time between 2 persons. Double expenses. Quite a load to carry. Anyway, things are impossible. Because if something ever happen, I know karma will find me.
And last night, I stroked my softoys and my bed and got into a crying fit. Because I never thought I would miss them so much. My bolster, my bed which I have been sleeping on for the past 9 years, my softoys who probably are asking why am I going away and telling me that they will miss me and my family whom I have been living with for my whole life. I miss the smell of home, the smell of my bed (I know this sounds disgusting), the smell of my pillow, the smell of my cupboard and so on. And even if I took pictures of every corner of the house, I don't think they can stop my yearning to be back home as soon as I arrived in London. The sky is grey and it drizzled abit. The superstitous say water is wealth (that's why when it drizzled on your wedding day, the older folks like to say the bride will bring wealth to the family). And I hope what nature (or heaven or whatever you call it) wants to tell me that this decision I made is probably a good one and perhaps when I am back, I could be doing something better and be happier. I don't need very good money. Just enough to spend abit, eat well and save well. That's all I ask for.

I have not slept for the past 36 hours plus and I am still very energetic. I think my bio clock is going abit wonky. Nope, I wasn't up watching World Cup matches. I met primary school besties for dinner and movie and went over to her place to talk about life all through the night. Took a short 4 hour nap from 6am to 10am and continue talking till about 3pm. They are the best people to talk to. Spent time looking through old photographs and her wedding pictures and kept repeating to her that I probably look the nicest at her wedding compared to the rest of the weddings I attended. Will post it up when I received the pictures. Serious, I really look doubly nice. The rest of the weddings I attened, I think I look like shit.
And yesterday was spent walking around People's Park Complex looking around for additional toiletries and dinner with mom. And I walked from Chinatown to Dhoby Ghaut. It's kind of nice to know that there are actually places in Singapore where I can do a "Singapore Walk" kind of thing. But I'd probably won't do that again at night because this Camenceau (sp?) Road that I have to walk to go to Penang Road is bloody dark and quiet. I took pictures along the way, I will post it up once I can access the laptop.
Packing was ok, my clothes stuff are packed, just left with the nitty gritty things that will be missed out easily. I should review and review my list and better dig whatever that's in my mind out just to make sure I packed every bloody single thing to London with me. So, for the next year or so in my life, I'm living on a 30" + a 20" luggage. Kind of cool. Living on a 30" + 20". Hee!
I'm still going to meet secondary school bestie for dinner later. Tonight I will be dead I think.
Oh, and about this World Cup thingy... I am so disappointed that England lost! I was harboring some thought that maybe England might win the World Cup and I can celebrate with the World Cup hooligans in London when I arrived. And France won, I am tired of Brazil actually. Am pinning my hopes on Portugal, because Germany and France is kind of boring too. They should have something new to spice up everything! Anyway, am sure that Germany would get into the Finals and probably win the cup. DAMN.

| Fear Factor Couples |
[Jun. 27, 2006 ~ 10:12pm] |
|
I've been watching Fear Factor Couples for the past 3 weeks or so. Didn't catch it from the beginning and it so happen that the episode I watched was pretty intersting because there was a feud between 2 couples; Randy & Tina and Dean & Ashley. I don't know how it all started, it got worse as the competition grew more intense and I had lots of fun seeing how childish this Randy is and how bad a loser he is whenever he lost to Dean & Ashley. Randy has a big mouth, he was rattling non-stop at the other couple, to the extend that Tina had to stand in between them, and got abused verbally by Randy. I cannnot stand him and I pity Tina. And I am ashame that Randy's Asian (oriental). Tina's Eurasian fyi. Randy & Tina got booted out in today's episode. I cannot stand watching him cursing, criticizing, hoping that either Dean or Ashley can die half-way through the stunt or get decapidated blah blah blah. Wah lau! It's bloody childish. Before Randy & Tina left, they were asked to give some last words for Dean & Ashley. Tina was nice, she congratulated all contestants but this Randy showed both his middle fingers! As they walked away, Randy challenged Dean to say something or sing a song and "he'll get it hard" (which Dean obviously did it to spite Randy) and - the rest got cut off - But I believe Randy wanted to start a fight and had to be escorted out. Sore loser right? Thank goodness he's out of the competition. But don't think the future episodes won't be as fun to watch. We need people like Randy to spice up reality TV shows. I cannot stand being with a guy who talks like that. I hope Tina ditch him someday, she can jolly well get a better guy. Btw, I noticed that all female contestants in Fear Factor have great bods. Never seen a plump or obese one before. The female contestants this time also have lots of bikinis to wear. Every challenge new bikini. They were sponsored or what??

You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the counter is a pair of shoes which you must have. The female shopper in front of you has also seen them and is eyeing them with desire.
Both of you have forgotten your purses.
It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.
The shop assistant remains at the till waiting. Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you.
If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes.
At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, *whilst it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes.
Always remembering that until the purse had actually been thrown it would be plain wrong to push in front of the other shopper.
Congratulations - You have just learned the offside rule!
It happens once every 4 years, so just try to understand it.
