Suprise suprise calls from Gracia, Jermaine, and Selwyn(in Aust)...*hugs~*
Got back home, changed out and suprise suprise calls again from Aaron, after Soichiro(in Beijing)- confirming that I'll be his photographer when he makes it big in the music business - which i feel he really has wat it takes to climb up there. ha... nice.
Oh btw.. I got my tattoo done finally. Yesterday. It was pretty okie.. am thinking of shading it next year. Ouching experience tho, but i think that everyone should go thru it at least once in their life.
Party's tomolo.... and i've yet to do my planning.
Happy New Year all, seeya in 2006

Waking in the middle of the night
Skipped lunch today, finished editing the sentosa pictures only to realise that i have to start on the wedding ones soon.
I fell asleep at around pm and didn't wake till 10pm. That's when i realised that I was suppose to meet Corrine for a chat. When i messaged her, she too only woke up then.. ha.. talk about sleeping your sunday away.
Was just talking to Gracia. Kinda feel a lil melachony about relationships and all. We miss someone to hold, to talk to, to touch, feel and be all warm and fuzzy inside with. Yet when we have it, it becomes a commitment, an obligation to give it.
Been listening to this song for 3 days now... it's still ringing in my head.
"Far Away" - Nickelback
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
[CHORUS]
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Hold on to me and, never let me go
weekend recap
Brought the vidcam and cam during our alcoholic beverages day. Was hoping to catch some images of people getting drunk or somthing, but apparently i guess i was too excited that i myself drank a lil too much. Oh well, wat's new, Louis biting himself on his own arse.
It was a crazy friday nite out with the batch and I was absolutely smashed out. T'was good coz i set out wanting to get smashed anyway. What i thought once was an irresponsible behaviour turned out to my only route of escape. Escape from reality and the kind of things i had to think about.
Pleasant suprise though, when I recieved news that a book that i was involved in was finally published. it's called "Crafting a lil Heart" by the VSA (Very Special ARts) Singapore. Quite pleased with myself as my pics (or contact sheets rather) made it to the cover!
Quick recap, that's 5 books in 5 years. I think I'm doing... O K
a lil update fer the begining of the week
Have you ever walked into a church and felt as if the whole world is staring at you even though all their backs are facing you? Yet, have you ever walked into a church and felt as if nobody in this world cared about you at all?
It's been 5 years since i started my run from GOD in search for gods. And whist today was a self-made decision to go for service, I felt compelled to walk up to the front and let God know that I'm there. The testimonial preaching today was different from the other messages that we would normally hear. It was unplanned, and spontanious. She was sharing about herself being molested and raped as a child for years, ran away from home, did the whole deal of drug abuse, alcohol and suicides. And finally found her existance and her purpose with her God. What made me pissed was when I look at her, i see a woman that went thru all that in order for 'God' to 'use' her to spread some message. Were those 30 years of her tortured life meant to serve a greater good? Sometimes I wonder if 'God' is 'using' my life for any purpose in anyones' lives? Or rather.. the notion of my life as an object moulded for usage just doesnt sound very pleasant.
Then again, if you believe in this faith, you don't even own your own life... coz it was bought a long time ago. So then why are we living a life, that in theory, doesn't have a choice or say in the supposed decisions that is already created for us to follow? Then making the wrong choice is not a choice anymore?
I feel i'm not making any sense.
Nevertheless I'm glad I was there today, that I finally paid up my pledge and that I saw the place for the last time.
Afterwhich, I met up with Pris for some cosmetic shopping for her first day at work. Then headed to Shisha with some of my batchmates. We had some interesting conversations, which revealed some 'secrets' that were truely .. .. unexpected. Ha. I'm starting to love them.
More photos to be uploaded. Till then..
P/s Thanks for being there today, Eunice - (not like you wouldn't be there anyway, but your presence was greatly appreciated. Nothing beats the company of an old friend.)
