Words of the Dharma 2007

When people slander me, what do i do?
To endure would do no harm.
Set a good example for my sons and grandsons:
Follow only the gentle, not the violent.

2007-04-01T18:48:00.000+10:00

I saw the most beautiful rainbow in my life today... two small ones stacked together and a bigger one over the small one... NICE!!!!

2007-03-16T16:17:00.000+10:00

discovery of the day: lontong tastes like overnight laska.. or is it the other way round?

2007-03-12T00:38:00.000+10:00

damn hot today man... not a single piece of cloud in the sky... even the sun block doesn't seem to be working... will the real autumn weather please stand up?

2007-02-27T23:49:00.000+10:00

Damn... this is the X number of times the person sitting in front of me recline their seats all the way in the plane.... it's like a 100% rate for me man... every flight there's bound to be such person.. hey.. please... i got long legs... and please set your seat upright when i'm trying to have my meals... the table has already no place to move man...

what a flight it is this time... for some reason me bloody nose got blocked and it is trying to run away from me also... had to ask for panadol and a never ending supply of warm water such that even the stewardess knows that i'm not feeling well... geez... and because of that i can't taste the meals (which happened to be fabulous that day) and cannot eat the cornetto ice cream :(

2007-02-25T18:02:00.000+10:00

3 more hours to the airport, 5 more hours to the flight... I shall leave this place of joy, fun, and laughter as I strode the aerobridge. Goodbye me friends whom I did not find enough time to meet up with, goodbye me family but I will be back. Though no one knows what the future holds, look forward to me return. Wherever I go, I will definitely stop over this little island to find u people...

2007-02-13T21:49:00.000+10:00

as much as i would like to deny, a great part of my life has disappeared. what seemed to be a everyday action is different now. it has been almost a week yet i'm still not used to it. some memories will fade away but your images will be tattooed within me.i pray for you to live on well in paradise just like how you would like me to lead my life. loving you...

2007-01-17T03:31:00.000+10:00

Muse was not bad... but seriously not my type of rock... i find them playing too much with the effects and that loses the real feel of my kind of rock... but anyway.. no complains about it when you get paid to stand at the first row right under the stage.. haha

What i did for the night...
Reached at 4pm
Set up stuff in Muse's "Dressing Room"
Carry cartons of San Miguel beer around (who in the world drinks san miguel man!!)
Relax in the air con office
Carried cartons of beer to replenish supply (people actually drink san miguel!!!)
Get called to do crowd control
Got to stand in front of first row crowd, just about 2 metres away from the band right in front of the stage
Carried at least 5 person who are about to faint out of the crowd
Carried the equipments in flight case off the stage
Carried and arranged the flight cases in a truck
Went around to take the promotional beer items back to the office.. that includes two huge ass bottles...
Left at 12.30am...

Phew what a day... Hope can get more jobs like this...

The crowd coming in for the concert...

Muse in action!!!

How close i was to the stage...

2007-01-11T05:43:00.000+10:00

Food, food, and more food... Sakae Sushi in the afternoon, Bedok 85 Bah Chor Mee for supper, dao hui n you char kway for late-night supper... What else can i fit into the bottomless pit... ~whee~

2007-01-08T23:22:00.000+10:00

2007-01-07T02:10:00.000+10:00

Even for 20 minutes, it felt so like home...

2007-01-01T18:59:00.000+10:00

My simple flash

2007-01-01T15:36:00.000+10:00

Are you feeling dumb?? You might have a parasite in you....

About 40 per cent of the world's population is infected with Toxoplasma gondii when people eat raw or undercooked meat that has cysts containing the parasite, or accidentally ingest some of the parasite's eggs excreted by an infected cat.

Infected men have lower IQs, achieve a lower level of education and have shorter attention spans. They are also more likely to break rules and take risks, be more independent, more anti-social, suspicious, jealous and morose, and are deemed less attractive to women.

On the other hand, infected women tend to be more outgoing, friendly, more promiscuous, and are considered more attractive to men compared with non-infected controls.

Another study showed people who were infected but not showing symptoms were 2.7 times more likely than uninfected people to be involved in a car accident as a driver or pedestrian, while other research has linked the parasite to higher incidences of schizophrenia.

So wouldn't it be lucky if you are a female infected with that parasite rather than to be a dumb men with low IQ?.....

~Whee~! Mambo was not bad... but is it because I haven't been clubbing for long, or is it Zouk's fault, I'm getting deaf... So for the next few days, I will be someone with hearing disabilities... =( oh and btw... it seems that the Long Island Tea at Zouk is getting weaker... Can't get the usual good ol' kick out of it as before... sighz... things change.. like humans do...

2006-12-21T04:39:00.000+10:00

What a way to welcome my 23rd year on this miserable planet...

First I was an aeroplane by a girl...
Then Zouk was too packed to enter...
Eventually my Chew recommended a place called "Babyface". Thought it was a club or some sort.... Dang... it some place that belts out Cantopop and chinese tunes. What a way... I want my Retro and R&B... ><... Arh!!!

Only consolation of the day was getting to meet roberto again.. the bass mastero is playing full time now in the babyface band...

but still... haiz... damn disappointing day lah......

2006-12-13T22:46:00.000+10:00

wah... Orchard is getting confusing... First, Centrepoint doesn't look like Centrepoint anymore. Second, my usual bus stop to get off had been moved away. Third, the Wisma underpass is now closed. What else am I going to discover sia? But still it was a good day and watched an OK movie, Eragon, which I felt was Harry Potter meets LOTR.

So what's with Triology movies? It was Star Wars in the beginning, then came LOTR, then Narnia and now Eragon....

2006-12-11T01:01:00.000+10:00

ok folks... 8 more hours to take-off.... Waiting for my laksa, chicken rice, bah chor mee, etc etc etc.... ~Whee~

2006-12-02T11:43:00.000+10:00

Melbourne is so nice, the Great Ocean Road is so nice. Adelaide is so shitty, Europcar is so shitty. How i wish I could hv gone to melbourne instead. Now i know why so many singaporeans go there. They even hv Changi Village Nasi Lemak and Chomp Chomp there!!! Will definitely go again to try the food and this time the stay will surely be much much longer.

The great ocean road is so nice. Lots of cows and koalas could be seen along the way.

Adelaide is so shitty. The shops open late and close early. Though they have more eating places than Brissy, I still prefer good ol' Brissie~!

Next big thing: SINGAPORE on 11 Dec!!!!

2006-11-16T23:55:00.000+10:00

Whee~!~! I 've done it!! I WALKED from Brisbane to Sufers' Paradise!!!! That's 18-20 hrs of walk and about 100km distance covered! Whee~!~!.. Next big thing to look out for... MELBOURNE on Sunday!!!!

2006-11-14T23:53:00.000+10:00

alrite folks, I will be leaving on a walking trip to Gold Coast for McDonald's Milkshake at Surfers' Paradise. It's about 80+km... Hope I get back in one nice chunk. If I'm not please call for Search n Rescue. Thanks.

Saw a great quote from Atisha today:

The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.

Almost a month since the last entry. Time seems to move at ultra light speed this semester. At the blink of an eye and the semester is almost over. Hope I can get the tickets settled ASAP and get my fat ass back home. I want my Fishball Meepok Dry!!!

2006-09-24T03:07:00.000+10:00

Do you ever believe in meeting the right person at a wrong time? And for some reasons meeting TWO right persons at the wrong time, or at least how I felt so. Is this some kind of joke? Should I just say it and not live my life in regret, or NOT say anything and live my life with regret? Jokes and worries. What a way to live life.

2006-09-15T07:18:00.000+10:00

A moment of silence for the great crocodile man - Steve Irwin.

Life is short; life is fragile. Live it to the max while you can. Do what you want, say what you want. Do not wait till the last minute to say everything you kept in your heart for every moment might be anyone's last moment. So if you really like someone and don't dare to tell him/her, I say fuck it and just say. So what if you can't be friends anymore? If he/she is really affected by what you've said, then its probably fine to move on in life. When you are in a dream, you wouldn't realise the good things around you. Wake yourself up and look around. You might have not noticed it before but maybe in some corner you will find what you have been looking for all along.

The rain came along with the mid point of the term. The drizzles and showers, the puddles of water. Life till the mid point seems well-coped but some things still stays the same. What was to be forgotten still remains firmly where it shouldn't belong, where it must go. Where two should be forgotten though it wouldn't be easy. Harder it is to see them.
For the mid point comes and the end is near, I shall leave for a break and for happiness I will seek. Back home or here? Is it possible to get it at all while I'm still unsettled?

2006-08-23T11:30:00.000+10:00

Living lonely so long, The feeling so familiar.

Till one night at the fateful place where it has all began.

Happiness might be coming I thought, I hoped.

Till one night at the fateful place where it all will end.

Today marks the end of my 3rd Week in Brisbane, Australia. Life is good but still some things could be better. Can't wait to shift in to my new apartment on March 16th.

2006-03-01T15:20:00.000+10:00

Dinner tonight was completely done by me alone. Rice, Sweet Corn Soup, Luncheon Meat with Red Wine, Sunny Side up. All prepared by me. Sweet stuff eh?

Nice Food eh?

I can cook, So can you!

2006-02-28T17:35:00.000+10:00

Today is marks the first lesson in my University life. A 1 hour lecture it might be, but this is the mark that begins my journey in QUT. For the next one and a half year, I shall be learning my trade just to prepare me for what I face when I return home.
Writing for Creative Industries. My very first lecture in Australia. Hope I can settle down as soon as possible so that time can seem to be passing faster.

2006-02-17T16:41:00.000+10:00

I have shifted... From a small squeezy hotel room,

to this... (For a pretty large fee)

And very soon in March, I will be moving down the street to another apartment and there is where I plan to live for the rest of my stay here.

2006-02-14T04:30:00.000+10:00

Dear friends, family, relatives, and whoever who keeps track of this blog, I have set foot upon the continent of Australia. The place where I shall start my studies to get a Bachelor degree in Creative Industries majoring in Communication Design. From this day on, Australia shall be where I stay, eat, sleep, shit and live. But still, I want to go home!!!!
