check out your post R, and i'm talking abt the 4th picture to be specific!

im really tired everybody

i thought about it since last night just before i slept.

I suddenly remembered some moment last year, an evening, a few days after the new year, walking about in this rather sleepy industrial part of a taiwanese town looking for a cab. The traffic was busy and there was no cab in sight. i walked for half an hour in heels down the street but I was so happy and felt so at peace with myself that i could walk forever.

But anyway, i didn't really sleep the night before and had to catch a train back to taipei so in the end, i asked a passerby for the number to call a cab hee.

i'm going to get that energy back :)

moo!

OXTIME! happy day you happy people. hope you are having a wonderful time. I'm going to my new semi-chinese friend's house tonight for my oriental fix. I'm hoping for some Ox Tail soup, but I'm guessing that might be a little bit optomistic. I might go and investigate London first and see if I can report on some interesting happenings for you. Apparently 4 rhymes with death. My mum told me this morning that this means that Barack Obama is the DeathDeath president. Are you worried for his safety. Or for my sanity?

piggy don -- make some noise!

full moon tonight in singapore

one of my most favourite things to do -which i discovered lately- is to lay on the floor in my room and gaze right out of the windows and straight at the moon. I started this new jamboree some time last month when the moon was so bright that it shone an almost magical glow right onto my parquet. It was exactly like how it is in the books or movies; like something good is about to happen! Anyway, instinctively i positioned myself under the moonlight and wondered at the skies. And that's when I saw her face to face and wondered what Jesus was doing right at that moment. I think I laid there almost for a full 4 hours during which I saw clouds appear and disappear. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and yet I cannot fully comprehend it. I know my limits are being challenged, there is a certain finite-ness about my being - like I'm stuck in 2d when things were happening in the third dimension. There is absolutely nothing I can do to get to that dimension except know that it exists.

I think God lives in that dimension. and THAT is so cool.

During such situations, you can't help but hold your breath and wish you could stop your heartbeat for a moment because even then they would seem rather disquieting.

Agh, where have i put my gloves...?

There's a British saying saying which goes, 'red sky at night, shepherd's delight, red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning'. It means, if there's a red sunset, the weather will be good the following day, but if the sky's red when you wake up, it's going to be freezing. This is what i saw out of the bathroom window when I got up 15 minutes ago.

Draw your own conclusions thinkers.

After I finished playing tennis yesterday morning, my flatmate offered me a share of a twix he had found in his racket bag. When he broke it in two, instead of there being a pleasant crunching sound followed by the two broken pieces dragging apart a lick of molten toffee, there was a kind of cracking sound and some parts off the toffee shattered like glass. It was frozen solid.

The man in the hut who takes the money before you play said that the oldest man who works on Hampstead Heath says that this 'is what the winters used to be like.' The whole of the heath was white with frost and it was the middle of the day.

On Thursday when I was walking back from the station in the evening, a huge cloud of freezing fog came down in the street and started swirling around me. It was like being inside a cloud. A very cold cloud. I have also recently seen steam rising out of the drains in the evening (people's warm shower water) which I have never seen in London before.

The whole of 2009 in London so far has been a sub zero experience. I never go outside without my silk scarf, three jumpers and my long-johns - infact I'm rarely without them. Right now for example, I am wearing them under my corduroys - I wore them all yesterday and I slept in them. This is pretty gross eh. My sister agrees with me that this is the coldest winter we can remember. It's good for Ken though - he didn't get a proper summer - but now at least he has a proper winter to experience.

Now. More importantly. just exactly how pumped up are you about the arrival of Uniqlo in tampines? I literally buy all my clothes there at the moment.

Here I am making my way to heathrow in the car, to leave for Singapore, almost exactly a year ago today. I would appear to have aged rather alot. dear dear. But at least I don't still wear that awful jacket. What was I thinking? idiot.


My sister is going to become the second member of my family to 'got to asia' this month when she goes to China to lear kung fu at the end of this month. Alarmingly, her blog already has lots of fatalistic Chinese language in it. Oh and er, did I tell you I'm going to TED this year... I guess I should probably blog about it when I'm there.

Happy New Year. I want to leave you with this from the recently parted Isaac Hayes. I'm sure he's in heaven now. But this video would suggest he was already in it. Heaven is a place on earth.

oh dear bad dream :(

i was supposed to wake at 945 today and i ended up waking at 3 cos of a bad dream :( i dreamt that i was having a quarrel with my sister, mum and cousin (who were all on my sister's side).

i was so angry in the dream and i couldn't lose so i was thinking of all possible ways to retaliate that i couldn't wake up. It was the sort of major quarrel that i concluded in the dream that i can never talk to my sister again. And then after that it lasted another 2 hours that i was sleeping and feeling sad that i felt too horrible to get up.

Some weeks ago when my sister was home, there was some point that i felt abit pissed off.. and i feel really sorry now and i don't think i can ever live with not talking to her again, Cries.

Anyway its probably alright to share this here cos i told my sister about lemmings quite a few times but i don't think she comes here at all :D hee.

(merry christmas & a) Happy new year!

Look what the cat dug up. Here's some new year entertainment from me, ben & joel!
