1/1/09- 11.18 am

Its sunday well again. at this hour, the sun has already peaked its height. ppl, family guys, adolescents were wandering arnd the shops either buying windows, making orders at the foodcourt or even queuing up at the frontline in cinemas. as for me, it’s always a dilemma of a kind whether this day is worthy for me. but 2day, i took it kindly for once.

being by urself, you always had to gather wt things u can do to make it easy for the day. when the weather is hot and you had nowhere to go, u just had to go for a swim. smetmes its not unreasonable to have a solemn time alone, not thinking else, especially after a loaded past week. this day, i tght i need to review things i may've missed, during times when im too caught up with work.

I have a wish. It came across my mind these days if really i can make it. it is to take a casual photo with gigi leung. when i saw this video (2:38), i just aaww.. how lucky is tt person! she didn’t realise its a life time opportunity.. to me is a wish.

yest, i made a visit to my barber. she’s a middle-aged owner of the place frm hk. Its funny coz she asked me to always maintain a straight posture. no one give advice like tt except my mom. i smiled thinking, probably she knew its a waste if a tall person (plus handsome out of the equation) bends in public. its hard but i’ll try.

food is great. but 2day when i spent 13$ for lunch, i typically just worry about the prospect of $30 a day, just on food. money is a thinking factor for everyone. even when i start working, it’ll be a challenge to manage money wisely. I knw i won’t get rich, but i’ll just accumulate for the future.

studies. my rotation ends in 3rd week of march b4 i go to emerald, 200km from brisbane. i get to learn a lot in this rotation, it may be a sick load depends how u think abt it. im finding a way to tackle the exams. we’ll see how it goes.

lastly, my parents are back frm the uk. i had a chat with them just 2 days ago. It strikes me to acknowledge hw every parent feels for their child, especially after not seeing them for a long time. my sis is a calibre, she’s grown up now. i feel proud of her. im confident she’ll live up to her best.

21/2/09- 12.21pm

its saturday today, location- uq library just to make use of the internet. i realised the 2 songs on air are just too feeling-involved. usually when i start blogging in public, i'd stuck my earphones.. go to my live-in site & the song in blog wud play while i blog.

often the songs wud help create an aura for you to blog but smetmes, when it gets too sentimental, you feel it affects u & you had to stop writing. anywys, songs have been a crucial part of my blog for the past 3 years. the feelings of melody are alwez there.

im recovering frm tiredness, just frm the sports day we had yest. it was a day, unique to uq med students, where we start our marathon frm the city, drink at the pub, walk and jog in scrubs to the next big pub, and end up at uq.

i met with damit/khai at their house at 8am and we go 2gether. it was fun coz we started at chinatown, walked all the way to city, and explore sights & buildings we never seen b4. we did not drink for sure amongst the red faces of many who might have been incoordinated, speech slurred & acting real bizarre (for one took off his pants while we took pic of damit). we also met with our juniors along the way :)

along the way i lost my mobile phone. only when sharon received a call frm this guy who found my phone at riverside.. im yet to collect it. this erricson has a history with me, of being real lucky. my mom knows that. i lost it in brunei recent only to get a call frm a good samaritan who found it on roadside in bandar.

work has been okay. i got used to it. i remember on thurs admissions, we were working on an elderly brought in by emergency.. confused, febrile.. who might go off anytime soon. i remembered my reg did a blood gas & asked me to hold the cottonwool tight on the pt's arm. while i was alone with the pt, i cud feel she was struggling, dyspneic & ah-voicing her suffering. its every one of this part wch drives me on.

anywys, on the good side. it seems my parents are enjoying their excursion to england, where they're attending my sis graduation. the story my mom wrote in her email, expressed the grandiosity of england's shopping experience- class in london, cheaps in hull. holidaying seems to be the light of the world for everyone. only if i knew this, i'd be travelling.. but sad to say im not the holiday-type of person. hope my sis had the best time in grad :)

i'll try to gather some photos on sports day & maybe on my sis grad. i'll add on a song wch might sound kinky but guitarish. besides needing to sort this rotation out, i might consider helping sharon if she wants. still at present.. life is good. altgh i knew i've let gone so many, i think life still has to move on in its best way.

26

Brisbane, 8.35pm local time, 24th jan, 09.
pending for post- 26th jan, 09.

now here, sitting down with lappy in my brisbane room, with the windows ajar letting in sounds of beating drums & gongs of the lion dance. the nearby chinese foodhouse is conducting a pre-season orchestra even on this day, least.. heralding the lively mood for the advancing new year. im deeply impressed with the culture here in brissie. may least visit chinatown hey :)

feelings of going back- mixed. I did a whole session of cleaning up the room- dusting, wiping, provoking a set of response identical to a runny nose, watery eyes & sweaty forehead. in the end, it was mindfully satisfying. plus filling up rations which cost me half of my fortune. point is- its all independent here. tgh alone, works for me.

i want to send my sympathies to those who’re deeply affected by the gloomy days of brunei. due to the flood, its been 3 days most parts of the country have gone out of electricity including gadong, kiulap, kiarong and muara. its so badly hit tt the whole of gadong, wch is the brightest spot of the country, is so dark seemingly like a ghost town. i spent the last day here at home, eating lucky charsiu and mom’s cooked bakuteh with my frens. it was darn warm here so im thankful my frens came to gather for a lift-off.

my days in brunei are greatly spent. there are foods tt satisfy anyone at all. mom did not spoil me for sure. only just 10 trips to empire for high-tea :) i made use of brunei’s sumptuous culture for an aft takeaway: ½ price sushi at escapade, mall’s takoyaki and a cup of lamee’s fresh soybean- guess how much was it? just $10! met mel and jess too for last meeting. the dimsum rest wasn’t tt bad. pineapple fried rice was good, the mango cream was out of words. add onto the smiley faces of my peers, it was all cool. will meet you guys in june! :)


course starts on 2nd day of new year. as eager as looking back & cherishing the times, i am equally looking forward to pull it up for this rotation. it will not be easy as i start with medicine & move on to rural. i had the best times on holiday. guess its time to do my part.

u guys may wonder wt i did for chinese new year? it all started with, "keith.. cny.. you cook 2nite la" me and senior hao did more work than ever compared to other years. tgh cny, we ran out of ideas cooking chinese food- instead we go western. spaghetti with capsicum & mushroom soup. looks like my malay frens are enjoying cny.. -_-'''


on cny day, i visited chinatown in the aft. ppl were already gathered around towncentre. i got to listen to the nostalgic beating drums & witness the performance of a spectacular lion dance on poles. it was terrific. the culture here is inexplicably rich. i'm impressed.


lastly, i want to thank you. thnks for giving me the memorable times, especially on this day. i'll live myself for this one.

23

remn at age of 23.
(to blog readers- tt means that)

currently, im living thru my holidays of dec and jan.. realising it is indeed a long holiday. i think 2 mnths of off-work is quite ample for anyone at all. thinking abt it.. holidays are fun but, they do make u rust to a certain extent u feel like going back to work agn. so yea my current feeling -_-'''

at age of 23, u begin to think lots of things. esp things tt matter with direction i.e. where your life leads. at 23, u might be working already, still studying.. or married & started ur own family. some ppl like to stay at their own sweet tender age of 23 meaning.. even at 30 they still want to be free & less responsible, either stay unmarried or married but w/o kids. there's no absolute choice but for me.. i'd always question myself, if im capable of owning a family yet. it takes a certain maturity to deal with a family situation.

regardless.. before even going to tt point, the 1st step is always finding a right partner. some ppl like it based on feelings.. if i find him likeable, likely i'd want him as my partner. others like to base their criteria on tangibility such as, if he's rich or she's gorgeous- i'd want it tt way. i guess the rest turns to fate- i knw one day if i meet my person on the white horse. i'll go with the flow.

to me, after reading wt i said, i realised im a person in between. i always belive in human chemistry. hw good u're with a person is based on it. i find the most likeable girls i meet are the ones i go easy with & interact deeply with. still, i prefer smeone who's pleasant looking, economically sound, family background, etc tgh i knw there's no way i can "choose" my partner in reality. the feelings tt come eventually will be the final decider. so in turn, it comes down to fate for whom you'll meet & who you'll get closer to.

after the whole rant abt love, the next imprnt thing is career. i find it interesting coz im going to be a new worker in 2 years time. with tt, i began to put my 1st tghts on money. hw shud i use it, wer shud i spend it, hw much shud i save for future use? its funny.. but imagine u're given ur 1st (let's say) $3000. wow.. tts a lot. by the time, i put it out for car loan, insurance, money for parents, food, social outings.. guess hw much wud remain. heh.. $100?

fuff.. tts quite a rant. in the end i guess.. living it is the most imprnt thing. live the every moment of your lives- at work, at play, with ur family & frens. living is a beauty, isn't it? tts y my blog is named live-in. ok i cya.. happy days in 2009. live it well this year :)

past

tse days been thinking abt the losses.
making life bit entangled.. unreal & unsure.
for many things u wish, they wud go.
leaving just urself on an empty spot.

with them done, i ought to live.
never knew hw i cud give away.
the sweetness of the past.
& the pain once within a disfigured heart.

its always meant to be.
a lifeless, meaningless ending.
only for u to turn around.
& walk past the ever past.

for u knw.. if u keep missing wt u lost.
u'll lost wt u've missed. in life.

'09

actually this post is supposed to be in chinese. earlier, i decided end year remn in chi.. in chin! but tnx to my mom's advice, i decided to pursue my better side.

2008 had always been a tough road. i face challenges.. but when i do, i was reminded previously. once a fren said to me, 'no matter wt happens to u, the world will always move on'.

regardless of wt we're facing, we shud alwez strive to be positive. the world doesn't wait. make use of it fully. live well. improve urself. we need them to survive.

aside tse, ter are good days. i'd want to tnk my family & frens for this. tnx for making my life carefree.

just got back frm a trip to japan, wch lasted abt 7 days.. in a place depicted once as the 'land of rising sun'.

the trip offers a whole new level of feeling and experience, especially to 1st timers who've never visited the country b4. one of the reasons behind this is due to the fact.. japan, inimitable to other asian countries, is so far-advanced in its era & add onto its rich culture, it can really nick an inspiration to ur mind.

i'll share my experience of the trip. first, if you want to truly make use of it, be sure to take up a guided-package tour. i had to travel long distances by coach eveytime, just to get to places deemed as the essentials or the ought-to-visit places in japan.

this includes- tokyo's ginza, where all the exquisite world-class shops come to gather.. asakusa where there is a street of fancy shops nearby the town's temple, kyoto where the nature of autumn sceneries & ancient temples bloom, mt. fuji its ever scenic view, hakone just to get a taste of sulphur eggs, disneyland the ever fantasyland, universal studios an astounding filmmakers playground & lastly osaka, for a taste of the famous kobe beef.

during 1st day of the trip, i had to stop by sgpore. xmas decorations were already arraying itself alongside orchard road- the city din matter much, coz its still the same. wt amazed me is the new airport terminal no.3 - a huge block of shops. ter is a greenery area where koi fishes seem to hangout.

after getting by japan via the unique double-deck airbus A380, i tasted st8 the first feature of the land- its language. no matter hw many times u tried to convey in english, they still insistently reply in jap. this is the unique thing abt japan- they can live w.o. english. another thing i noticed is they're all ethically sound, very polite & well-mannered.

to be inspired, by observing ppl. the girls in japan are full-depth in their materialistic nature. at a pure age of 20, u can see most of them carrying LV bags with decorated jewels on fingernails, stylish hair & obviously elegant outfits. a no. bring with them modishly-decorated pet dogs on shopping.

as u embark onto the high-streets of ginza in tokyo, there is no say to the shopping environment. its just pure new & modern. i cant help to feel places like sgpore or hk seemed to go one step back. i can say however, unless you're rich, shopping isn't the sort of thing you want to do here. it can be 2x more exp than products.. say in sgpore.

apart frm this, there is the other face of japan wch can be inspired frm, its tradition. its well-known japan has a strong cultural belief for taoism, so temples've been built in ornamental scenery. sakura did not bloom in winter, but ter are these red leaves wch form a picturesque array blanketing the nature's forests. mt. fuji offers a panoramic view of the country's landmark.

now, foodwise.. not just sushi. if u visit japan, u must've a taste of the famous kobe beef. we had it for B$150 per plate. b4 arriving on plate, it is said the cows'd enjoyed very well. they fed on beer, listened to music & given massage often. texture-wise? as tender as fish.

xmas is closing in.. wch leads to other i'd like to mention. despite the scarcity of christians close to 2%, the christmas env here is ineffable. they love christmas. i'd rather call it commercial xmas, than the real thing. any place wud be filled with music, decorated trees, santa clause, hats. u name it. its surprising.

k.. words wud be filled with life, but not more than pics. im enjoying this. im thru to 3rd year. nw to wait 2 more years for glory. here, a merry christmas & God bless.

度过了 两个礼拜的假期..
认为到底 是不是 在享受.. 还是在被宠坏.

每一天 确实一个 又懒又充满 的生活
顽的开心.. 也无聊的满开心. 就给父母照顾到很好.. 也身边的朋友让我 一切都欢乐. 我能够想像中.. 吃的.. 和去的地方已经有十多个.
eat-in: escapade, koryo, lucky, empire, nite-market, capers, dynasty, 天天, cheezbox. visit-in: the mall, empire, arena, giant, AIA office, aurey/thomas house, miri.

当我怀念到这几年来的过程, 我觉得.. 我没有后悔. 每个度过的经历不是白费的.. 可是一个机会 让自己一年比一年更好.. 更坚强. 学得 这么看世界.. 也学得这么样放开.. 一些 应该要放开的东西.

现在看到 这么多的 同班同学.. 都开始有工作了. 他们的青春之年.. 真是完美. 我们有 一个律师, 一个经理, 两个生意人.. 再多两年, 就会有两位医生. 刚好也遇到 leah 所谓在医院工作.. 和 fau 实现做 p2f 歌唱比赛.


哈哈.. 看到 gee blog 真让我感动.. 她收到 1700+ comments hit 当她宣布 她最新专辑的歌名! gee blog 一路来, 都给人一个很惊讶的感觉.. 所它 stylish 的设计和 它特别的内容.

suit her class, 我去配一 副高价- 高价 calvin klein. 我真像 一个贵族人.. 哈哈 -_-'''. 所以.. 我问你们 是不是应得的享受? 多四天后 就要飞去日本. 哇..哇.. 就不要太忌妒吧.. 好不好?

在这里告辞吧. 希望你们 chinese readers 读到 喜欢..take care!!

shoe

回到了汶莱.. 我的家乡.. 感觉 满舒服的

父母亲就带我去 买鞋.. 一双运动鞋 及一双皮鞋
最新.. 刚到的 nike plus 和 绝妙巧克力色皮鞋 weidenmann

这使我回忆到 那次 我的偶像 可爱也可傻的样子
当她拿出 她一黑一白的 salvatore ferragamo 皮鞋
妳看她尴尬 可爱的样子!!

总觉得 人身外表 就像我一样
有美好的一面 也会有糊涂的一面 -_-

exam

exam's done.
a whole 1 year course ends up in 3 exams. 2nd year is byfar the most challenging.. as soon as i finished the exams, my feelings went mixed. reminiscing the hardwork & independence thru the year, i felt i just wanted to keep my mind & emotions calm for a while.

i'd like to tnx my fellow mates- khai & damit for their help. w.o. them i felt i'd have to work this on my own. i'd also like to tnx emma. she's been supportive- the times im unmotivated, she'd regularly send me mails just to get me back on track. she helped me write my trephine profile.

on blog
this year, i saw time passed & things changed. i remember after last year, i decided to change the way i live & the way i blog. bringing a bit of light least in certain areas- not just expressing deep emotions but writing things tt are at least joyable to my readers.

as i viewed back the memories of the year, i did not regret it. the elated moments spent with my peers, the deep moments of my solemn.. the wonderful pics posted frm my cam. its a beautiful blog. i'd want to extend its life for few more years.

xmas is coming soon.
normally, i'd reminisce the tunes in shops or carols in church.
im heading to japan in the 1st weeks of dec. sis is graduating so she won't be following us. i just hope her full of life in the uk.

so & so.. just nw i was singing with khairul.. man.. he has such a gd voice! it was funny (maybe true) whenever i sing, the scores went low & when i passed the mic to him, the score shot up! we sang an emo song- 'love will lead you back'. a wonderful piece.

anywys to end, i'll post songs frm my fav singers. most, haf a gd one. meet you guys real soon!

不理時間的人
”我努力了很久 也已經能習慣了這樣的生活
有孤單有快樂 而有些人不需要聯絡

走了 我再也不理時間了 讓那些夢慢慢生疏
愛情的美 也許因為會飛走”

有些歌是满情绪得 特别这个
一听见 就会到回去 完美记忆的路线


两天前 就走到去 roma street parklands
一个美丽的花园 靠近中央火车站
放松的时刻加…于浪漫太阳下的气候
真给人一个 不能表达的感觉

每一次去散步 都会带我的好朋友 ipod 一齐
也许他也有名吧 叫做 keith white 已经跟我接近三年了

偶尔食品也是一个好的建议.. 特别是蛋糕
就能坐在树下 一边吃 一边感受风景
和每一学所谓的怀念


本身..对生活的感受 其实沒办法了解
觉得.. 就这样过吧.. 只能安慰自己
一定会有好的日子过
真累..可是渐次吧

曾经想开一件餐馆
也多么想把他叫做 pillbo 餐厅
真殊的名 给一件餐馆
不管这样 心里上还是会祝福得

还有一个名 evelyn 我蛮喜欢得
下次如果有女儿 可能会把他 举这个名

十二月份 会跟妈妈去日本
也可能会去 tokyo disneyland
好的瞬间 块要来喇
就不管.. 不管.. 努力!! -_-''''
