Always Somewhere

first of all, a happy 2008th birthday to my Lord!! wonder how does it feel to be 2000 over years old :P
i admit the picture i chose had something to do with....healing XD
the past week has been quite a busy week for me so i didnt really have any time to blog and i apologize :)
anyway, it has been quite a fruitful one despite all the workload
sent many sms-es out on christmas back to singapore and i'm glad that many of them replied even though it was expensive :D (no worries if you didnt reply :P)
oh yeah, if you didnt know
apparently taiwan doesnt have any public holidays for christmas
so it was like any other usual day for me; cooped up in the lab for 10 over hours on christmas day
but hey, at least God granted me success for my project :P
big thank you to the W331-ians whom sent me a package from the tiny island!!!
surprised and touched i was
loved the presents and card too :)

then not to mention the long grandmother story email to sarah last friday
i coulda sworn that was the longest email i typed in my life but i'm glad i did anyway
talked about many many things we didnt have the chance to talk about
and that silly girl wants to take me on a shopping spree for clothes!!! XD
i hope you do mean it sarah XD
those of you who know me well enough can tell that i've never been much of a shopper (probably that is the reason why i still get lost in the orchard area at times :P),
ESPECIALLY for clothing and accessories
i get the feeling i'll be carrying more of the things she will buy rather than those bought by me ( if any XD)
but i'm sure it will be fun and i do very much look forward to that day hahahahaha

and an email to you as well
didnt expect your reply to be that long
but it really did cheer me up after such a long day
i'm just feeling happy knowing that everything is alright :)

well enough talking and here the pictures from our journey to 日夜潭
direct translation's in ang moh is called sun moon lake
somewhere in the middle of the taiwanese island close to tai zhong
so here we are after a five hour bus ride...

a view from the hotel's lobby

more pictures of the jetty...

check out our hotel room or rather what li jiong and adrian calls our VIP room...

my bad, wasnt paying attention to the camera...admiring the scenery XD

oh thats patrina by the way, li jiong's gf
came all the way to taiwan to spend her holidays with him (aww :P)
more views from our room...

floating garden le

then we decided to take a boat ride around the lake so here are more pictures..

waiting at the lobby and queuing up for the coffee like typical singaporeans XD

on the boat and ready to go

argh there are many others and this is getting uber tiring (or maybe i'm just plain lazy :P)
i'll post the rest on fb some time later this week
anyway it sounds funny...
but i still find myself having that "bobbing up and down" feeling ( the type that when you go for boat rides) when i stand still or sit down after the return bus ride since yesterday till this afternoon =/
sheesh, it does gets kinda dizzy
josh, now i know how you feel about long bus rides back to m'sia XD

well its back to work again but at least its only a three day work week hahaha :P
even better, no presentation this week!!!!!!

seeing everyone pushing to be part of the cg really makes me wonder about how i'll integrate into this new family when i get back
i admit i had my fears about...many things, and i still do
it has never been easy for me to change some things on such a short notice
but seeing the four of them pushing so hard outta their comfort zone motivates me to do the same as well :)
at least i've taken the first step to know my cgl although online only :(


miss you where i've been

I Wont Last A Day Without You

this post is specially dedicated to the newly-wed couple,
just wanna say a big CONGRATS to Elyn & Shaun on their holy matrimony!!!!!!! :)
again, i'm super duper mega ultra sorry for not being able to be there
but i'm sure it was superb and flawless XD
God bless the both of you
and lemme come up with some mandarin phrases to express my wishes
er hem...
(forgive me if the words are a little off, my mandarin's still somewhat poor)

恭嘉新婚，
祝你们夫妻俩，
白头偕老，
百年好合，
(and last but not least, how can i forget XD)
早生贵子，
龙凤呈祥

they say a woman looks her prettiest when she's in her wedding dress
and her husband will be looking like a knight in shining armour riding on a white horse
(i suppose instead of a horse, its more of a merc or rolls royce now XD)
cant wait to see the photos，please post em up if you have it!!! :)


can you guess who sang the song for the title of this post?
i think some of my friends will be shocked if they found me listening to such music *evil laughter*
its one of the oldest tracks in my music library with the exception of elvis presley's "are you lonesome tonight?" and chubby checker's "limbo rock"
i know i know, these are literally antiques XD
but i really do find the song a meaningful one :P
sometimes being away from your comfort zone and all may not be such a bad thing
i've really learnt to treasure certain things after....all that has happened
things which i took for granted when i had em,
things i dearly wanted,
things i thought will always be there so i took my own time
sadly, losing some of them in the process of "learning the hard way"
but God gives and takes away
i'll still praise my heavenly father no matter
this trip has definitely changed me...for the better of course :P


P.S: elyn
a promise's a promise, leave a day free for me when i'm back :P

i can take all the madness the world has to give but i wont last a day without you :)

Stained Glass Masquerade

today is not a holiday!!!
for those of you who are enjoying hari raya back in sg, lucky you!
and there's also no holiday for christmas although they do celebrate it :(

the past week's been getting a little cold
and worst still, it rained today...which means the temperature's goin lower tomorrow!!!
at least its still within the double digit range XD
for those of you who are completely clueless, the temperature's around 10-16 degrees most of the time now
once in a while it will go up to between 18-20
i'll probably end up wearing 3-4 layers of t-shirts come january where it will be in the single digit range XD


seeing all the photos of chris, sam chew, sarah and jh on ouyang's facebook really made me miss you guys
ugh, i really feels so super duper mega ultra bad to miss chris's birthday and upcoming elyn's wedding
not to mention miss celebrating with them christmas, new year and CNY
i miss them so much i even think about them i fall asleep and at times, dream about em too
*sigh* it was really a bad time to get out of sg aint it? :(
please please do take more photos and send me !!!
=/ must not be emo, stay positive sam!!


last weekend we went to the taipei IT fair near the taipei 101 tower
it was something like sg's one but we didnt buy anything from it anyway
it wasnt exactly cheap and some of them were even more expensive than those in sg
then after dinner we went to the marketplace supermarket
and finally....combing so many parts of taipei's supermarkets,i finally found my detergent!!!!
er....ok i know it sounds weird to those who dunno what am i talking about
but i can only use one type of detergent to make the giant bubble....or at least for playing safe XD
then something really weird happened...
all of us automatically walked over to the alcohol section
although we arent much of drinkers (with the exception of mk )
our good friend mk almost ended up buying a barcadi and baileys
but anyway we ended up buying more beer and storing it up in our cabinet for er...soon

it was probably due to the friday night before we ended up drinking when it got a little cold
adrian, li jiong and i went to family mart to get some beer (mk was out er....doin something)
and the rest of them woulda told you my face looked really like a tomato after a big can of taiwan beer
but i was still sober,honest :P
then they argued which drunk person will say they are drunk?
hahahahhahaha we even tried the sg traffic police alcohol test in our dorm XD
must have sounded like a buncha crazy people in the rooms beside us with the way we laughed
for those of you drivers who still havent kena stopped at those routine checkpoints yet
sometimes when they havent got the breath analyser
you gotta walk in a straight line with one leg in front of the other,
something like an improvised cat walk to see if you can balance yourself
....and i failed, not once but twice! XD
but we all thought there was a chance that test had to do more with balance rather than alcohol
which means i dont have balance =.=
anyway i completely dont touch alcohol when i drive so nothing to worry about :)
well, thats about it


selamat hari raya untuk mereka meraikan ia
(pardon me if its a little off,malay's kinda rusty now XD)

when i take a look around, everybody seems so strong and i know they will soon discover that i dont belong

P.S: happy belated 19th birthday to chris!!!! :)

Thunder

ok, i know this picture just gives you the wrong ideas but i just keep laughing when i think about a cat playing around with their owner's lingerie XD
me too lazy to post the photos taken at the steamboat yesterday and the trip to the taipei zoo todayso i'll post it some other time....if i do remember =P

during the past few weeks i've been praying about something that has been bothering me for quite some time
on fri, i thought i heard His answer to me through a song
i've had my doubts
pardon me for asking only elyn, josh and jh about it cause they were the only ones online that day
even after asking them i still didnt know if it was just purely me or it came from Him
then it came again when i was watching a scene of an anime
its at times like this when the song lyrics and the video just suddenly came ringing at you
even though you heard and seen it many times
cause well...when the answer turns out to be exactly what you want,
i suppose one will keep wondering if it was just themselves thinking about it or did it really came from Him
i wont say i'm 100% sure now but i've a clearer picture of where i'm heading....i think *scratch head* =/


"i try to read between the lines, i try to look into your eyes and i want a simple explanation for what i'm feeling inside"

I'm Feeling You

Finally!!!! the weekend is here!
been crazily buried in work and staying in the lab for almost 11 hours everyday trying to get that ppt done
and THANK GOD he's satisfied this time
that old man's a hard dude to please
for that matter, i'm only just a poly student
not a uni student studying for his master's degree ya know
all that work load's gonna come back again on monday again
better enjoy this weekend to the max first!!!! :)



speaking of teachers....
joanna and i was given the task of improving our vietnamese friend, cong's (its pronounced as com, dont ask me why XD) english about a month ago
cong arrived at our lab just a few weeks after us to study for PhD in surface tension
puzzles me why he came all the way to a chinese speaking country to do that *scratches head* =/
we did ask him why but he always said, "i have friend in ntust, he say good"
he's married with a kid back in vietnam and plans to go back being a teacher after he graduates
which is er.....3 or 4 years from now
both of us had so much trouble communicating with him at first that we had to resort to hand signs and even drawings so that we each could just get the gist of what the other was saying XD
we teach him everyday by giving him newspaper articles to read and essays to write
then of course, comes that 'life-shortening' process of marking them the next day XD
he's improved quite a lot compared to when he first came
he still has trouble writing sentences with the tenses, grammar, vocab and all those stuff whatever that is
but at least we can communicate through speaking now XD
and well...lets just say teaching english hasnt been easy especially when one starts to lose patience from the lack of sleep (i meant both of us k =P)
although these teaching sessions still get funny at times :)
man...i've to say i'm impressed with the way our teachers taught us back in kindergarden and primary schools
it sure requires lots of patience and understanding to teach
to all the teachers and teachers-to-be out there; 佩服了!!
this photo was taken today in the lab when we were marking his essay...

look at miss joanna wang's peik ceik (its hokkien) face XD

hahahahahaha, she looks pissed alright
so sorry joanna, i just cannot help but keep laughing when i think about you explaining all that sentence structure thingy to him and he says "why like that? i dont understand" every time
after all this time, he has become quite close to us,
even brought coffee for us from vietnam few days back
wooohooo!!! :D



i've been feelin so excited about the asia conference
but cant see it online :(
can somebody please send the sermon notes that you have taken down?
argh...anybody buying the dvd? XD



oh yeah, the temperature here has also dropped quite a lot nowadays
probably what got me down with a cold and sore throat
the lowest it went was about 12 degrees on wed
everyday, its shivering like crazy when the cold wind blows into our faces
but mk and i still do walk around half naked (topless, dont think in the other direction XD) in our dorm at times
cant imagine when it comes winter time in january when the temperature's gonna drop to 8 degrees..sheesh



"gor...yong...san...ni...itch...GO!!"
initial d for the win!!
went back to watching it just a few days back
can never get enough of it
always drives the adrenaline through my veins whenever it comes to cars drifting
and the trance music just gets the mood back into eurobeat fever
well...i dont exactly watch the anime purely because of the cars...although they do play a big part *evil grin*
sometimes the characters are just plain silly and hilarious =P
and believe it or not, they do teach some valuable....lessons in life
i really really have to try this sport one day :D



speaking of music,
now i'm really fond of carlos santana's music
well...i only enjoy those that he collaborates with other artists
like chad kroeger, michelle branch (she's got really pretty eyes XD) and steven tyler
his electric guitar tunes just...stands out from the rest
havent got to the stage of appreciating his latin rock music though
in fact, he's my inspiration to mastering the electric guitar when i get back
i dunno, maybe its just me =/
jc was saying he prefers eric clapton's acoustic guitar playing style
not to mention those who like the other famous guitarists such as kid rock, buckethead, kirk hammett, herman li and who could ever forget, the one and only legendary slash
even so, i think its safe to say that we all agree on one thing;
each of them have their own unique style of playing the guitars
oh by the way...the mv rockstar by nickelback is good for laughs too XD


oh, i'm feelin the way you cross my mind :)

Reflections

heelllloo once again!!!
for those wondering about my previous post (which i removed)...well, dont worry about it
i've looked on the bright side of things
come whatever may but in Him i'll never lose my hope =)
work hard now i must!!! =P

oh yes, the pictures to 台中
not much diff from taipei but definitely lesser people squeezing around

walking along ntu (national taiwan uni, not nanyang technological uni XD) to the train

the 火車/高铁 (this is what they call the bullet train) station

the train in the background is 火車 and no, there are no smoking chimneys and coal XD
anyway, we still had to take a three hour bus ride via the highway to our destination
feels different traveling intrastate though
so we checked into a hotel first and found a pretty decent one

finally after two and a half long months, a proper and soft bed!!!!! =P

rather than all that sleeping on the mattress on the hard floor zzzzz
so after that....
shop and...
eat and...
eat and
eat and
eat!!!!

look at the stuff we ended up buying
most of us just bought a shoe (or in mk's case a bag)
but our good friend joanna shopped like there was no tomorrow!!
when it comes to shopping for women,tsk tsk =P
the ones on the table are the sun biscuits (pardon me, direct translation XD)



yesterday i felt a sudden guiltiness...
listening to nickelback's "if today was your last day" on repeat mode
really made me become more...like chris used to say, more reflective
i really felt bad for missing all the special events to my friends like elyn's wedding and chris's birthday
even the national holiday events, christmas and CNY...
i remember all the happy times and the sad times where we shared our shoulders for each other to cry on
i never got to tell you guys how much i appreciate each and every one of you
and thank God for all of you as well =/

tell all your friends and loved ones how much you love and appreciate them
give them a smile or a hug even
even small things like this will brighten up their days and make them feel appreciated =)

if today was your last day and tomorrow was too late, could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Hold On The Line

just got off the phone with good ol' josh
alamak, all of them W331 homies got drunk O.o
and earlier i was waiting for them to come online to webcam
sheesh...felt like a fool sitting in front of the com trying to kill time for 4 hours
its alright, i'm a guy with a big heart and they are all forgiven XD
i do regret not being able to see them one last time while i'm here in taiwan
but i'm done feeling upset and down
thanks to my good friend joanna for the comforting yesterday (sorry mk, dont whack me XD)
this was what she said;
" though you guys might go your separate ways, your friendships lasts forever and that is what really matters "
(not exactly those words, somewhere along those lines)
yeap, thank you joanna!!!
and thank you adrian (aka ah seow XD) for being so understanding
that reminds me, HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY BRO!!!!
may all your wishes and dreams come true :)


To my W331 homies:
don't think you can escape me when i get back *evil laughter*
i'll pay each of you guys a visit at your homes even if it means walking there from my home =P
in the meantime like what my 大妹 said,
since i'm here in taiwan already, might as well enjoy myself here :)
(on the weekends only unless you consider researching and experimenting with bubbles enjoying XD)

having said that,
although its just a short time period of 7 months and 17 days when i first met you guys during easter 2008,
(not to worry josh, i'll never forget what you did and i'm FOREVER thankful for my big brother)
its has really been happy and wonderful journey for me with all you dudes and dudettes
nothing any of you all say or do will ever push me away from you i can promise you that
all of your smiles and laughter will always be kept locked deep in my heart :)
and we MUST continue to meet up k
let's continue to grow in Him and work for His kingdom!!!


amidst my homesickness blues a few days back,
i heard this song "hold the line" by toto on the movie called click (yes, i watched it for the 3rd time =P)
adam sandler never fails to make me laugh
anyway for some reason the song seemed to cheer me up :)
if you thinking who on earth is this toto,
wonder no more...its a band from the 70s XD
oh man...i love the way steve porcaro (the band's pianist) combined the piano with bobby kimball's vocals and steve lukather's playing of the electric guitar
it has a very catchy tune that gets me addicted XD
anyway if you're interested, the link's below;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsIQNUWK2LM

i'll be going to tai zhong tomorrow and will only be back on sun
leave an email if you guys need anything :)

Someday

homesickness...its a bad feeling to experience alright
i dunno why its gotten so bad when i was fine the past two months
its at times like this when i miss every tiny little thing from the familiar view of the army camp from my room window to all the familiar faces around me
on the bright side of things,
i've learned to treasure the friends around me
and i promise to treat my friends even better when i get back :)
not that i dont treat them well but....argh, you get the idea XD

thank God for you around
although it was just a simple chat on the phone about anything and everything,
it really made me feel at home,
like a shepherd who has found his lost sheep.
time just seemed to slow down and i never realised we had talked for so long
i enjoyed talking with you so much!!!!!! :)
i wished it could have been longer
but duty calls for you XD
thank you to my 大妹 for being so companionable
you got rid of that horrible feeling
and even created a smile on the inside :)

Forever And Always

blargh, i hate goodbyes...
6 months, 16 days and we have to part to our own separate ways
*sigh* sad news but for the greater good
to my W331 members:
each of you contributed in your own special way in making me feel like a family,
walked through this journey together with me
and i thank you all for that
for whatever mistakes i made,
i ask for your forgiveness
and all of you will always remain a special part of me
alright, alright enough of this emo-ing before i start "unloading the blues" again

wassup with school nowadays?
well...i've got a new project that involves making bubbles XD
i know you guys must be thinking,
"what in heck's name, you fly all the way to taiwan to make bubbles?"
lets just say the bubbles i'm supposed to make are a little bigger...about the size of an adult human
in fact, i need to encapsulate a person, who wants to be my model when i get back to Singapore? :P
if you dont get what i'm talking about,
this picture should do the trick...
something like that...
but more er...improvised
i'll not go into what its gotta do with surface tension,
would probably bore you guys to death XD

life in taiwan has gone through many and i mean MANY changes
here are four of em for starters...
1) the uni life here is very different from poly, you no longer get spoon-fed (sheesh, i would assume the unis in Singapore are also like that)

2)sleeping times getting later, about 3a.m. on weekdays and 6a.m. during the weekends sometimes even 8a.m. XD but at least the amount of time i sleep remains constant at 5-6 hrs a day :)

3)managed to get rid of my (some people would call it bad :P) coffee addiction. Most probably due to being lazy to walk out a distance to get hot water. i only drink like once a week now but i still cant say no to coffee XD

4)meal times. from 3 late meals a day to only 2 meals a day now. one in the morning and one er...whaddya call a meal in between lunch and dinner? lunner? :P anyway, you get the idea. funny thing is its not cause i'm hungry that i eat but its cause i get the feeling i'm on the verge i'm getting gastric so i eat to avoid that horrible feeling. speaking of meals, i'm so SICK of the food here and i miss the food back home in Singapore like carrot cake and laksa.

can't complain man, gonna be here another 98 days T-T

yesterday, a security guard came to my dorm..my friends and i call him the "uber friendly uncle"
cause...well, for starters..he's really friendly
and he was the one who introduced everything about the dorm to us when we first reached the school
so we kinda felt closer to him compared to the other guards
in any case, he said one of our neighbours snapped
well..he didnt exactly say snapped but he used his hand to tap the side of his head XD
he said this exact words when doing that motion,
"他頭腦有問題,不要跟他有來往."
this whole...thing seemed to be quite serious
two guards were patrolling the dorm corridor the whole night
even 小黑 (the guard's dog if you dunno who is it XD) was on standby at the near the dorm entrance
that neighbour guy's a fellow Singaporean from NUS Electrical Engineering
the rest of the guys and i did get to know him a few weeks back
we said hi when we saw each other in the dorm corridors
he was looking fine and all normal
the last time i heard, he came here for attachment and was planning to return during CNY
but he has to leave the school dorm today for....whatever he did
*sigh* sad case don't you think?
for what supposed to be an attachment turns out to ruin not only his academics but his whole life

i tell you some of my dorm mates were so paranoid hahahahaha (sorry for the sudden change in mood XD)
they were so afraid of going out to take a shower for fear he might attack 'em
li jiong even latched our room door
and this was his favourite phrase to me yesterday;
"this is very serious, sam...what if he came in and killed all of us?"
everytime i heard him say that,
i end up bursting out in laughter XD
honestly, i couldnt tell if he was joking or dead serious cause of that funny face of his he always puts on whenever he said that

anyway, a friend asked me yesterday what my blog post titles meant so in case you've been wondering too,
its just the names of the songs i felt...connected with when i'm typing the post
i need music around me for some reason, thats why you ALWAYS see me with my mp3 :P
i know its weird...
when i'm studying...or driving
even the expression of feelings, i prefer to use music to express 'em XD

yeap anyway, thats all for today...gotta get back to work :)

Country Roads, Take Me Hooooooooome....

I've been feeling so troubled since yesterday after i got the news that our cg is splitting
my jaw was literally hanging open
i just couldnt get it off my chest
i've never had trouble sleeping but i just couldnt seem to fall asleep in peace yesterday night
i would get up like every hour or two
and my mind would drift to all those happy times we spent together
before falling asleep again
the happy faces keep re-appearing in my mind
and i'm just on the edge of the cliff called crying
its the worst when you're just so faraway from them
and there's just no chance to say goodbye in person or give each of em a big hug
they are the reason i look forward to going back to sg
to see them every week and hear their laughter
and now...
it feels...feels like a part of me just died :(
all the happiness and laughter in there becoming nothing more than a void
they are all like family to me
W331 members...if you read this,
hope all of you got my email
dont forget to webcam with me one more last time on fri


Hearts Burst Into Fire
Bullet For My Valentine
Scream Aim Fire

I'm coming home!
I've been gone for far too long!
Do you remember me at all?

I'm leaving
Have I f***ed things up again?
I'm dreaming
Too much time without you spent!

[Pre-chorus:]
It hurts!
Wounds so sore!
Now I'm torn
Now I'm torn

[Chorus:]
I've been far away
When I see your face
My hearts burst into fire!
Hearts burst into fire!

You're not alone
I know I'm far from home!
Do you remember me at all?

I'm leaving
Do you wait for me again?
I'm screaming
No more days that I just spent

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

[Interlude:]
My bed's so cold, so lonely
No arms, just sheets to hold me

Has this world stop turning?
Are we forever to be apart?
(Forever to be apart)

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

I'm coming home
I've been gone for too long!
(I'm coming home)
Do you remember me at all?

Do you remember me at all?
I'm leaving
I'm screaming
I'm dreaming

HEARTS BURST IN TO FIRE

Decadence

Friday...
it seemed like the day to look forward to every week
to see my beloved W331
but didnt get to see any of 'em online for the past 3 weeks
Oh well, they must have their reasons...

my lab always seem to be full of "activities"
a rat ran past joanna's foot today
seems it is a sorta...PR in the lab XD
PR as in permanent resident
predictably for a gal,
she freaked out and jumped outta her seat
i was doing my best to control myself from bursting out laughter
sorry joanna XD
its not like the rat didnt ran past my foot
after all, my seat is just next to hers
i was surprised at first but i just continued doing my work seconds later
the seniors said they were trying to catch the rat for a few months...if not years already
so i couldnt be bothered anyway
quite frankly, i'm alright with it runnin around as long as it doesnt bite me XD

this week's been uber bad bad BAD!!!!
getting screwed over 3 times in a row, would you get disappointed?
heck, i'd be pretty surprised if you don't
the presentation today didnt went as well as i hoped it would
in fact, its the worst so far
if this keeps up.....i don't even wanna think about it
i tried my best but i still can't get what that "guy" wants
at least, thank God for brothers like Adrian around
although it was just a simple meal between the two of us out at 士大夜市，
i felt...relieved after that

Lord, Lord where are you? i need you =(



East To West
Casting Crowns
The Altar And The Door

Here I am Lord,
And I'm drowning
In your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don't want to end up where you found me
And it echoes in my mind,
Keeps me awake tonight

I know you cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand before you now as,
As though I've never sinned
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
From you leaving me this way
Jesus can you show me
Just how far is the east from the west
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest,
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scarred hand to the other

I start the day the war begins
Endless reminding of my sin
And time and time again your truth is drowned out
By the storm I'm in
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away,
From you leaving me this way

Jesus can you show me,
Just how far the East is from the West
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
Cause you know
just how far the East is from the West
From one scarred hand to the other.

I know you've washed me white,
Turned my darkness into light
I need your peace to get me through,
To get me through this night
Can't live by what I feel
But by the Truth your work reveals
I'm not holding on to you,
But you're holding on to me,
You're holding on to me

Jesus you know
Just how far the East is From the West
I don't have to see the man I've been,
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West,
From one scarred hand to the other
Just how far
The East is from the West
From one scarred hand to the other

yew spik teh LOL language too?

first of all, so sorry for not updating for so uber long
life has been pretty normal and repetitive on the weekdays so there's really nothing much to say except the weekend
cant exactly remember what was the order of the outings...blargh, does it matter? XD
pai seh ar adrian bro, i ninja-ed some photos from your blog
well, here we have it...yang ming mountain
not exactly what i had in mind of a tourist mountain spot but its a pretty quiet and serene place
good spot to clear out your mind too
ya know might consider retiring to a place like this later....much later in life
but i guess not exactly this mountain XD
wonder what the heck we are looking at?
well nothing actually...just a buncha crazy guys acting emo
our good friend adrian calls em "abstract photo" XD
I think the drivers driving pass us behind wudda thought we are looking for gold in the flowers!
anudda one of em "abstract photos"
if we keep this up....cant imagine how we're gonna pose for the photos back in sg
anyway, forgeddabt it XD
here are some scenery photos...
there's the smaller waterfall
according to adrian and mk who came here before, the water seemed bluishly murky and lots of sediment had accumulated there
as for the bigger waterfall, i didnt take any photos cause...well, shit happens XD
next up, huaxi street night market

anudda tourist spot, famous for selling snakes as food
like snake soup...stuff like that
we didnt eat that if you wondering,aint cheap
we settled for teppanyaki instead
the boss's a pretty friendly guy
he was goin to japan this week, sponsered by his daughter who's an air stewardess
not bad right?
i havent even been to the land of the rising sun, i'm a poor guy XD
yup there's all to it about our outing during the weekend

recently, i've been quite hooked up to the LOL language
christina and sarah will vouch for that cause it seems i've been driving them crazy with the words i use XD
i think its pretty creative and who knows? i might incorporate em into my blog postings *bwahahahaha*
alright i gotta get back to doin work, see you guys around :)
