Finally.
The last day of the year.
The bitter and the sweet.
So much has passed in this 1 yr.

I remember myself, this fresh faced youngster,
stepping into UWA for the 1st time.
The grandeur of the school
intimidated little me.

The whole year has flown by so quickly.
2004 has definitely impacted me in a unspoken way.
I use to hate Perth.
Now, I have great housemates, a loving bf and a confidente in Perth.
What more can I ask for?
(Other than my family being there)
I'm settled.
And tht's all tht matters.

Thank GOD for seeing me through this year, the turbulent and the pleasant.
Thank GOD for the blessings in my life and for the support YOU have given me.

Dear GOD,
I pray 2005 will be equally uneventful, if not a sweeter journey for me.

Sometimes,
I reckon,
it just ain't worth standin up for your friends.
Only to be told off on ya friend's blog.
When all you meant was good faith.

I shall be like I use to be.
Complete abstinence from everyone else's affairs.

Have been reading a dear friend's blog and this anonymous person that goes by some reference keeps posting on my friend's TAG board with the intention of causing him more trouble and unnecessary disturbance in his life.

Sometimes I cannot but wonder, don't this kind of pple have anythin better to do? Apparently not. So you have made your point, why come back to create more disturbance? What do you get out of it? Personal satisfaction? Revenge? Or just some mere excitment or thrill? I know, I might not be in the know of the entire story, but one thing I know is, whtever that has happen (or not happen, for that matter) is bst left unsaid. You may think its pure sweet revenge, but whtever tht is sweet has its bitter aftertaste. Please remember that.

I feel sad for my friend. You know who you are, and please, if you ever need someone, a friend, as much as I know you have your bros who are always there for you, I am also there. We may not be very close now but I have always regarded you as friend. GOD bless.

Anywho. I am at work now and seriously, I am so shagged. Work's just mentally and physically exhausting. I don't know why. Have been unwell lately but I wldn't attibute it to my late nights, since, after I do have sufficient sleep after that. I reckon my health is deteriorating. =( Someone pick me up frm this heap.

I remember distinctly waitin for my partner-in-all-crimes, YOU know who you are, at Keppel gym to arrive when news of the earthquake and tsunami starting trickling to the TV channels. News headlines seem to be flashing everywhere as I skimmed the words appearing across the screen. Call me ignorant, but I truly did not think much abt it after that. Earthquakes happen everyday (if you didn't know). Obviously, I missed out on the Richter 9.0 bit. How convenient it was.

It wasn't till post-Christmas lunch with the lawyers yesterday till I understood the severity of the tsanami and earthquake. It was the hot topic at the table amonng the lawyers. As I read the newspapers before me and watch the news, the extent of the damage is so apparent to me. The monstrocities of Mother Nature has left some areas in South East Asia completely in ruins. The death toll is steadily climbing as more missing people are being accounted for and the mass destruction being summed up in numbers.

My heartfelt condolences to all those who has lost loved ones in this tragic ordeal. Regardless of what I say, I can never truly and absolutely empathize with them. I wasn't shopping in Patong Beach when the 5m high waves crashed upon me and swept me off my feet. No, I wasn't there.

I hope, now, as the world unites, we as citizens of the world, will all play an active role in contributing to this diseaster. The next time you are having a meal, pause and pray for those whose lives have been adversely affected by this uncalled tragedy. Should it be they have lost their loved ones or lost their homes or even they livelihood. Give thanks that despite our close proximity to Indonesia, we remain unaffected. Give thanks for our safety and security, even if it might be short-lived. Put aside some money that is meant for shopping, and donate it to the Red Cross, which will be put in so much of a better use than a new top to go clubbing. Remember to put thoughts to words.

I shan't say more. I pray for all whose lives have changed after Sunday, 26 December 2004. GOD bless everyone. Love you all.

Blessed Christmas to one and all! *yawn* It's just alittle after noon, and I am feelin shagged. Correction, my feet are shagged. But yeah, it has good. Parents left for Shanghai, hehe. Gonna go wild partying this Christmas and New Yr! Sniffles, but I have to work OT frm Monday to Wednesday 1st. Craps. I HATE my boss.

I have to get my lazy bum moving soon and get ready. I shan't post too much. A shout out to all, Jakie baby, Gerald and my new found friend, Lydia (who shares the same negative passion abt my boss!) Cheers guys! Sending all my love all arnd!

I wonder why I have been so lazy these few days and procastinate my blogging. Pple have been asking me to UPDATE MY BLOG, which is pretty amusing to me. I never knew that there's pple actually reading my blog! Woah! How amazing is that?

I am actually at work now, but yeah, I don't really care. My boss is a *ahem* dickhead and his secretary who is leaving today can second that. Right now, he's like "Lydia, where did you store this document?" when it's like blatantly staring at him straight in his face. He's like, "harlo? How come last time I cannnot find it?" Hmmm, I feel like retorting "Cos ya're one cockeye dickhead?" No wonder Lydia's leaving. I empathize with her. I feel sorry for myself now. Don't think I am wallowing in self-pity, when you know him, you will KNOW what I mean. Thinking abt him just makes me blood boil. Which is no good, I don't wanna return to Down Under looking like a cooked red lobster do I , Jakie? Heh.

Christmas is arnd the corner guys, and I have a really cool list of prezzies already! Way to go Rach! (Rach is also broke frm buying prezzies for pple.) Sorry Boo, yours will be late ok? Let's see.

My Daddy - Fujitsu Lifebook T3010
My Mummy - Crumpler Laptop Bagpack
Jaks, my boo!! - Mp3 player (All the way frm Aussie!) *muacks*
Amy - Garfield the stuff toy (the one frm Garfield the movie, not Garfield the cartoon!)
Gerald, my dude - the most cool M)phosis tote bag I love (which I have yet to receive, haha)
Godma - PINK Adidas duffel bag!
Ee Ee Rose - Red/pink reversible Nike Windbreaker. How awesome is that? Woot!!

Oh my goodness, I so umm, dislike my boss. Anyway. He bought us lunch yesterday, Lydia, who's this really cool chick. I ain't saying this cos she's gonna read this, but she's pretty ingenious in her work stuff. Like scanning documents instead of photocopying so as to save client's additional disbursements. Yeah, she's like 22, how cool is that? Oh well. Oh my goodness, can I tell you abt my boss's idiosyncrises. His name is Kenneth by the way. He wants to send a Christmas card, ask Lydia how much does it costs to send out a card, she said 23cents, he doesn't believe. And he ask arnd and then actually pple got stamp to give him, he scared illegal dunno wht shit. Apparently, he has never sent out mail in his whole life. Yes, and he is a lawyer. An egotistic, swell-headed lawyer. And finally, Lydia goes like "if you want a stamp, I have." And he says "Can I buy one?" Harlo, money isn't an issue lor. Lydia gave him the stamp. *rolls eyes* So one kind. Enough biatching. I can go on forever abt him.

I better sign off. I will update when I feel the urge too. *muack* Love ya all and Merry Christmas! GOD bless. Cheers.

I just realised I haven't posted since I have been back in Sgp.
Not tht the holiday day has been so fantastic or what.
I miss Perth.
I miss Jaks and Terry.
I miss the meaningful committments I have in Perth.

Since I have been back, have only met up with my ex-colleagues, Weijie and Omar.
Omar.. it's been 4.5 long years, of hating you for what you did to me
but no longer do I hate you.
It isn't worth it.
Thanks for the company these few days.

Gonna meet Wenguang on Sat. It's been another 6 long years.
Bumped into him yesterday at PS, shocking.
However, it's been good.

I still miss Jaks. Tht doesn't and will never change.
We have been havin alot of arguments and stuff.
Love will conquer it all. It will. Will it?

Got a job at a law firm. Doesn't pay much, but pays alot of experience, as I will be fully and solely assisting a lawyer.
Apparently, it is quite a big firm, though I had never heard until today.
It is going to be very stressful. I know that.
Shudders.

Someone jio me out ok? Cheers.
