Domo Arigato!

Well what with all the exams I have decided that my blog shall contain no word of studies, stress or the sterile world of books. Instead I shall write about my hopes, dreams and anticipations for the coming few months. After all it is these things that keep you going and alive in the face of tragedy (nothing so disastrous for me), hardship (somewhat) and anxiety (defintely yesh).
Well here it goes.
One. Nice little trip to Lake District after this entire ordeal is over ... Great scenery and just a chance to relax.
Two. I hope to get closer to God. Been feeling somewhat adrift. No worries or pain. Just a kind of wierd dislocation from everything. Izzit the e---s? But yesh I made a promise in EEC the other day and I intend to keep it.
Three. Back home with my dear family again. Miss them everyday! Chance to say thank you to my Dad and aunt for all they've done.
Four. The bloody food! Need dim sum, laksa, mee pok ... the list goes on.
Five. East Coast Parkway. My favourite beach. Sunrises and sunsets aren't great but since I was 0 I have lived along or near that beach and I've come to associate the place with late night gatherings with buddies, evening walks, sea breeze. I can just feel it now ...
Six. BUDDIES. SJ, Mimi, ZH, Pierre, Mash, Alex, Di, Chuanni, Daf, Marc, Jere ...
Seven. Simple. If U're Ready. When U're ready. It isn't everything but it'd mean a lot.

Rite here is this super hilarious song ... I just fell over laughing when I heard it. I mean who the nut hell would come up with this kinda crap???!! But its a real comic relief!

Styx - Mr. Roboto
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modern man
I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control

I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem's plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives.
Machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity...
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

Yo babe! I haven't finished reading your blog from scratch, since I only discovered it not long ago, so i wanted to put off any comments till then. But, oh well, couldn't resist.

1. Thanks for updating your blog, and NOT mentioning exams. Hee. Everyone is just in an exam frenzy, which means I've no new and good reading material.

2. You mentioned me, you mentioned me! Hee. I'm on the internet! Cheap thrill.

3. Well, looks like your exams are coming huh. So wishing you all the best! :) Looking forward for you to come back and we can all hang out. It's long overdue. Yeah, buds and east coast park coming your way! (And do we all get to meet your gf yet?)

4. God bless!
