new beginnings
Thursday, July 24, 2008
so its bout a week since i arrived in Perth
slowly settling down into the dorms
the people here are rather friendly
the pace of life is slower
no need to rush here rush there
the weather is cold and chilly
but the shops close darn early
by6-7pm there are hardly any shops open
only the places that sell food and what not are still open
and since i dont drive
i have to rely on the public buses which is efficient i must say
just that the waiting times can be long
........... now i know how it feels like to leave your comfort zone
and start again somewhereelse bah
it feels ................. weird
aniways this week is still orientation week
so lessons havent started yet
starting next week
im trying to get a 4 day timetable so that leaves friday free for a longer weekend
and i dont have to wake uptoo early
bout 730 to 8am on somedays
i seriously have problems remembering peoples names
its embarrasing when u meet people and they know ur name but u cant reply them
quite a lot of sg pple around the hall
and a mix of nationalities from other countries
food here is more expensive from what i c
the cost of living is higher
so the payrate is higher too
part time employment i heard is bout 15-20 aud per hour
thats 3 times higher than back in sg
i hope to get to know more people well in the weeks to come.....
and i got to watch what i eat ..lolz
feel like eating more in the cold weather
i've been hearing rave reviews on the new batman film
wanna catch it badly
can someone please show me on which days it will be cheaper
9:11:00 PM
less than a week to go
Friday, July 11, 2008
its bout 5 plus days left before i leave sg
so fast and i am in disbelief
so many what ifs
well i will just have to wait and c
no use thinking so much
been eating out and trying to meet friends before i leave
one thing that i think i will miss will be the food in sg
my last day at work was last friday
no more serving pple
cleaning up the place etc
but i wont get to c the other part-timers liao ...
sat met old buddy joel for dinner and fish and chips at manhattan
watched the movie hancock
so so action-comedy
its passable in my opinion
the humour isnt so slapstick its dark humour instead
monday nite had dinner with my fathers associates and their sons
one of whom is going to my senior at uni
yeah can ask them to guide me around when i start school
tuesday nite dinner with old pal at crystal jade at toa payoh
took 151 and overshot tp ended up near kim keat ave there
lolz i know where u live roughly know Joel
and one of my old cj first classmates
the more pple u ask out for a gathering
the harder it becomes to get a consesus or come to any solid conclusion
i admire those who can plan large scale events
thats what i call skill
my brain feels fried now
bah need a breather

False pretense
Wednesday, July 02, 2008
Have you ever had this feeling
that u were missing out on things
this feeling of being left out
the thing is at first u didnt noe
but then later somehow u knew
then at that instant u feel emptiness in ur heart
its so sickening
which leads back to the point of ignorance is bliss
the less you know
the less pain u feel
okay maybe im thinking too much
after all everyone has different ways of expressing themselves
one thing i hate is having to swallow anger
anger that u so badly want to diss at pple
but u hold back cos u dont want to hurt their feelings
theres something holding u back.....
they say revenge is morally unhealthy
but really i can imagine it being so satisfying
vengence empowers u

Title: False Pretense
Oh, it's time to let it go
The world's got a funny way of turning 'round on you
When a friend tries to stab you right in the face
Losing faith in everything I thought I hoped I knew
Don't sweat it, {it was} set on false pretense
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
And it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
Cu-cu-cu-cuz you know...
It's sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
All along you know you thought you got the best of me
{But} you were wrong and I'm laughing right in your face
I cannot believe you claimed you were my family
Don't sweat it - it's set on false pretense
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
And it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
Cu-cu-cu-cuz you know...
It's sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
Oh, it's time to let it go
I can't seem to understand it how you turned out to be so cold
You tried but were caught red handed, are you happy with your role?
It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke...
It's sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
So play the game until you run out
And play the game into my hand
