23 hours more in australia before jeremy lim jit wang leave for the mini island of singapore. jeremy doesn't feel like leaving at all ... oh no he doesn't!.. but at the same time he doesn't feel like staying in sydney for too long because of the messy lifestyle it's made of. he thinks it's really a busy city... there you have it they sydney opra house taken from a cruise along the circular quay. it looks nice doesn't it =) yeah jeremy sure thinks so...

you'd probably think jeremy did this using photoshop. think again! =)

anyway, dinner i had today was somewhat closer to home. singaporean laksa and chicken rice. dimething entirely different from the fish and chips, gelato ice cream and chocolates i've been having for the past 8 days in australia. did i mention? sydney is filled with asians (koreans, chinese and lots of jappies) it's like yellow skins overload here. refugee domonation i reckon...the river and sea sides are seagull filled too. it's cute how they function especially when you feed just one of them. it's like an ego thing when you feed a chip to A bird. it starts chasing all of the other birds away like it's taken ownership over you and your meal. it's like protection fee. here's my new found friend/bouncer in wineglass bay!(accessible only by a 5km hike at coles bay...get a tassie map)

pretty bird aye =)
and altogether i had... erm... 18 of these! i'm quite sick of oysters now.

hmmm... i'll be back in singapore! soon =) tah

BYE BYE tassie! you were fun and difficult to let go but i have to return to my life now =) Hobart - one of the main cities in tassie with lots of sea food and also where the cadbury chocolate factory is located!!! i took in choco like a chained smoker and the one i really enjoyed the most is the frog "freddo" that comes in many assorted flavour. you should try the turkish delight one.... hmmmmmm...

yeap. aussie has a history of convict labour and we were previlaged enough to go experience what they went through during the 19th century. obviously i was rather happy about being in chains =) bondaged aye. tassie is filled with historical sites almost all of which were about convicts and more convicts. heh.
oh yeah, that's me trying to brave the 100km/h winds at 20 degrees with icy-cold sea water along the east coast as we travel north. hehe. tassie beaches are niceeeeeeeee!!!unique. something you don't see in singapore or malaysia.
me milking a letter box cow =). there's another one of me trying to hit on it ah-beng style!

canberra's a nice place to study in. for me i think cos they have a lake and a canoe shed =) but sydney uni looks good too. Hogward's building and age old creeps. [oh and right now, i'd say canberra's best selling point is the gelatissmo in canberra centre! good ice cream and a REALLY CUTE asian waitress =B]

That's darling habour for you everyone! the place, i think, where finding nemo was featured. seriously, the aussies are rich with flashy yatchs. something you won't find in singapore or malaysia =) i have plans of making it rich young and then maybe migrating to sydney with all of my wealth. Btw, sydney chinatown's dim sum is rubbish. chicken legs taste like erasers and they are there to rip you off but later i satisfied myself by having really good dinner. korean food which is soul gardenish. sweet sweet heaven =)

right, so there we have it. a picture of sydney in a non-peak hour. it's more alive that canberra i say and i was suprised to finally see one of those trams with that thingamajig connected to the it from the top. coolies =)

sydney opra house. i'll just post photos cos my credit is running out =)

sydney uni!!! that's meeee and... it really looks like hogwarts right?

Canberra is dry. streets are so quiet at night and chinese food here have too much flour in their wanton soup. woke up really late this morning cos of the late night we had with friends and lunch at the centre where i had spag carbonara. i was close to emptying the bottle of sprinkle cheese into my plate but i thought of spending my holidays without farting very often (something cheese would tend to cause on me)

Yeah, i went to that little circle last night right after shoppint for a pair of bums for myself. breath taking sight of canberra in the night with lights and all. we even manage to see a fire in the suburbs. if you look closely you can see little ducks waddling about the lake =) i could have made duck rice for dinner!

say HI to black swan. black swan is standing on one leg! he/she has calfs more defined as mine! =) i'm embressed.

sorry people, not many pictures this time round. i have some but they don't include me. enjoy!

taken by the lake.

night view from the mountains overlooking canberra

and this one =) i really like!

taking off on an aeroplane always sends adrenaline through my brain. first, you see the plane line up along the runway then you hear the engines ROAR like "RAWWWWWWWWWWR!!!" then seconds later you feel the Gforce hitting you in your chest and before you know it, you're up in the air probably closer to God =) but hey, seven hours and ten minutes on a middle east plane with lebenonese passengers staring at me like i'm a hesbolla rebel and watching movies which repeated itself four times like "superman", "my super ex-girlfirend", "meet the parents" in arabic subtitles couldn't be that bad. i didn't expect my flight to have little LCD screens on the headboard infront of me but it was cool. It was a pleasent flight really. Oh and the washroom seats were absolutely freezing. my butt almost froze when i used it 14 times. that's like twice an hour =) that certainly makes the record for "the maximum number of times jeremy has used an airplane toilet from singapore to sydney". maybe i should attepmt to set a higher one on the return flight. Oh and one more thing, the plane flew at 37000 feet at the speed of 635 mph ground speed with an outside temperature of -59 degrees and i sware i saw the engine freeze up. there was frost on the window too =)

The aussie customs were kind enough to check my bag when i reached sydney international. for some reason they feared i came over for employment at the age of eighteen until i told them how much i was carrying with me.

i was close to kissing the floor of australia. my ever first time here and adding to the excitement, i was travelling alone. Somemore, I WITNESSED MINI HAIL YESTERDAY!!! LITTLE DROPLETS OF ICE FALLING FROM THE SKY! LIKE HOW COOL RIGHT! HAHAHA OMG. AND IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE SUMMER!

i'm at changi airport now. they delayed my flight by 30 minutes for some weirdo reason. haha. hey, this international duty free goods are coolies. 2 huge bottles of absolute vodka for 38.00 sgd. goodness right??? lol... okay i better go get my ass seated at the waiting room. i got a window seat =) how cool right? I'M LEAVING ON A JET PLANE!!! i forsee myself using the washroom 5424356349562 times during my flight. i think i overtook my laxative (however you spell it) dosage yesterday morning. it's now being carried forward to today. hahaha. alrighty then, i'll blog more when i reach aussie =) coolies! OUT!

waiting for you - west grand boulevard

I knew you for just a while before you left
you were young and full of happiness
i wish i could hear you laugh
and i wonder where you're hanging out
now that you're somewhere else
someplace sweeter
someplace better
someplace far away from us

when you're gone
but you see forever now,
i am waiting for you
(x2)

everything seem different now
bittersweet and funny how
things have turn out unexpectedly
and you know its how i'm counting down
all the days and nights from now
until the day i see you eventually

when you're gone
but you see forever now,
i am waiting for you
(x5)

la lala la lalala laaaaa.....

project work is finally over! for me, it's neither a good or bad thing. maybe it's good cos i wouldn't have to go through the ardous task of doing research and enguaging in written work time after time as i think to myself "don't i have better things to do?". AND then again it's BAD cos I only started appreciating PW during the later stages for some weirdo reason. I'll miss all the GAYING around with jingyi, the home intrusions for PW meetings (esp puddles encounter), the frequent rubbish talk, the "try hard" cooking/baking of the watchamacallit marshmallow-inbetween-biscuits (which turned out rather alright), the random whinings of JY and I, not to forget the GUITAR "lessons" etc etc... i could go on and on. hmmmm, the memories. it's like i have to much time to myself now and i don't know how to spend it (besides studying). Right now i feel like going back to malaysia to lug over my guitar. JY already lent me two books on basic guitar skills for beginers and fingerpicking which i'll leave one side first until i've mastered the basics. damn, i should have picked it up when i was younger. now i'm flooded with interest and desperate to learn. maybe my sis can teach me a few skils when i go to aussie =) that'll be really cool. i mean i have a passable voice and i don't wanna stick to humming/"singing" with radio aid. i wanna make my own sounds.

my next major itinerary would be my up comming aussie trip. so many things i need to do and i'm feeling lazy.

1. collect my bagpack from pravin (i don't even know what it's doing there in the first place... hahaha...)
2. pack my one weeks worth of clothes
3. pump up my mobile phone with cool pop music so my eight hour flight wouldn't be dreadful.
4. get camera stuff
5. etc etc

what could be worse right? i'm too tired to think now. i just returned from a session of oral nourishment at jacks place and i'm broke for the week.

ciao!

I knew it. This day was waiting to happen. Today I'm spastically absentminded and locked out of the house. I bet my set of house keys are just innocently laying on the study table in my room. But that's the least of my interests right now. As I spend the next of my 2 hours here in my other relatives house, I plan to at least finish this post and move on to PWing my Oral Presentation script and maybe squeeze a little holiday scheduling till December ends.

Eventful day indeed, went ThUmBtAcK and UhU-gLuE hunting in the early morning but to no avail. I was already late for my PW meeting and was close to being drenched in my own source of metabolic liquid that simply oozes out from the sweat glands from my skin. So decided to purchase them later when most shops island wide would have began operation. My fashion theme for the day: GAY. So clad in a PINK ripcurl shirt and a butt-crack visible black short, I marched to Holland V bus stop where I waited for A DAY (sure felt like it) for a direct bus to cashew heights. For a while I freaked out and I mentally debated the possibility of me having boarded the wrong bus and soon grew tired of thinking and took a nap. Waking up, I found myself in familiar territory. Thirty minutes late for a PW meeting! Not bad aye! I'm improving but the meetings I tell you.

Ninety nine percent of our "meeting" was spent on everything else but our pw project. Half the time we were sampling home-made Japanese food (chawa-mushi needs a little less liquid but it works for me =B), washing the dishes, surfing HARD GAY youtubes, tampering with a cardboard box, engaging in strum/mumble-along sessions with lifehouse youtubes and online lyrics, talking rubbish and voodoo-ing a cardboard foot with golden fasteners and most of all, formulating plans of cancelling choir sectionals because the rain created a sleepy atmosphere for some people (singular).

Right after that I went town-ing for a "I'll watch you get a hair-cut" session and did window shopping as well. My eyes were on a female craving rampage and I'm obscenely glad I perused an education in Singapore. But that's besides the point. There are so many things I wanna do this holiday.

1. Go back home, revive the guitar sitting in my bedroom by giving it a buff and changing all the strings + pick up some basics skills so that I may (or at least I hope to) be reasonably versed with playing the guitar. [~$40.00 including "an idiot's guide to playing a guitar"]
2. Save up for an ipod nano (blue or lime-green) which I can hopefully get for MYSELF when CHRISTMAS arrives *SUPER BIG HINT* [~$240++ for a 500song one which is all I need =)]
3. Get a cool crumpler bag for myself to reward myself for a job well done by passing my promotional exams =B [~$150++ which can store my laptop…though I have 4 other bags which can currently do the same]
4. Get a 1 GB SD memory card for my camera before I leave for aussie (there's a 75 bucks one at far east... it's on promotion and I'm eyeing it) [$75.00 which is on promotion]
5. Probably make my abs slightly more obvious before next year?!?!?! [free but required motivation]
6. and finally, study =( [motivation may not be able to help..haha..]

What's up with most female adolescents with blogs these days. everyone of their entries are flooded with frequent mentions of hot guys, cute guys and prayers for God to grant them one of the two [or maybe even both of each].

dear lord,

i can't wait to get out of acjc. please grant me a fast journey through my final year. grant me patience lord. help me ignore my feelings of heavyheartness. refresh my mind and bury the past. i surrender all these to you =)

Holidays aren't exactly fun anymore. Right now everyone's mugging up for chinese while the some aren't exactly bothered probably cos they're complacent or confident or just playing around thinking they'd rather have fun first before going back home and enguage in some "try hard" chinese mugging which never really happens at the end of the day. Yeah, you go people! of the latter description. stop trying to be dyslexic! that's our trick, not yours.

To canoeing guys:
Yeah, i went out of my mind yesterday. Capped twice, it rained for thirty minutes, Bill making me regret planning my trip to aussie cos apparently i failed to approach him to talk about at and then demoralising me after that, took my time to run and never really wanted to train for the day cos i had better holiday activities to do elsewhere which i turned down. It was basically a screwed up day for me. i won't apologise for what i did. for those who hate me, i don't really care. i'll still be me. jeremy, pecs or whatever you call me! the boy who hates running =)

can't wait to get away from aisa! 13 more days and i'll be leaving on a jetplane.

i'm feeling lazy this holiday. i think i'm having a fetish for sitting down infront of my computer and doing nothing all day. the past few days hasn't been very productive for me and i wish i could be back in malaysia driving around up and down the north south highway at 120mph. and i mean miles! that sort of speed will send adrenaline surging through my entire system. i imagine myself bringing daddy's car to it's limit and applying the emergency breaks then jerking the steering right making the car spin seven hundred and twenty degrees creating cool skid marks on the road. then driving as per normal after that as if nothing ever occured. then dad will wake up and go "nggghh... did you feel that! or am i having a headache"..."oh no dad it's just you *grins*"

wait, why am i even mentioning this when i'm telling people i drive well back home to win their trust so that when they come over i can scare the **** out of them behind the steering wheel. oh no i did it again!

i was woken up rather abruptly this morning. imagine me looking hot in a wet suit surfing along the gold coast with all the aussie bums strolling the beach and then the sound of your name calling like Zeuse who could send a bolt of lightning down to fry you and your surfboard. well something along those lines. that's when i woke up and found my uncle standing at the door calling out to me. i thought he needed to change a lightbulb or something. you know something that didn't really involve so much travelling so early in the morning. i mean 9:30am is rather early on a holiday. right? anyway, my uncle and i went on a field trip to one of our relative's house to collect (what i thought was SOME) notes. yeep, seven bags of notes which weighed a tonne (see mom, all the grocery bags i carry back from the supermart trained me up for today) and an adorable lecture theater chair which i have plans of using for my self-initiated timed assignment (if i even get myself to do. unlikely). it's really cool cos i've always wanted one since primary school. i'm spoilt, what more can i say *hops around in circles and drools spastically*. Now i have to sort them out so it does not take up my 'push-up' cum 'crunches' space.

it's gonna some exciting day today! i'll be heading down to singapore poly to apply for the isic international student card which i hope will be fast and then training down at mac.

till then, i'll be round =)
