That Drummer in the Sky

B4 you go

Oh B4 you go

I need to say this so you'll know

I'll miss you so

I'll miss you so

Oh I have never known a one like you

With eyes so blue

A heart so true

A heart so true

I don't know where I'll go

I'll say into the unknown

I hope someday I'll find

A one like you to be mine

Oh show me where's the sunshine

We were suppose to meet up when I got back in December, but you didn't wait for me. =( How am I supposed to catch up with you now, and do all the crazy things that we planned to do? Sigh, sometimes I'd look at your nick on msn, and patiently hope that you'd come online. Your messages are still in my phone. Our last convo on msn last week was just full of nonsense, about man's balls to be exact. Haha, everytime I think about it, it makes me smile though. Thank you for always making me feel loved and happy when I was with you. For making me feel special.

I'm sad that you're gone, but looking at how many and how much people love you, I'm comforted as well. A pity we never got the chance to take a picture together. The only one I have of you shows you walking away from me in Half Moon Bay. So apt.

Rest in peace my dear friend,

You'll be missed so dearly.

I'm sorry I never got to say,

How much I cherished and loved you.

But when I hear the thunders,

I'll know you're having a blast drumming

To the greatest gigs in the sky.

And in my heart I'll say,

There goes my friend,

My dear Wayne Thunder.

1977-2007.

At first I was bend on not going back in June, but now I'm not too sure anymore. Rock for Good is on 23rd June, and attending it would be least I can do for you. I know you put in a lot of effort into this and I have a feeling that this year's concert would far exceed your expectations. Sales would go through the roof! We'll rock for you!

Now, its whether I should fly back or not.

I'll miss you guys..

Thank you for being that bridge between Melbourne and Singapore. I never could have done it without you. I've gained really good friends and its all cause of you.

The times when you were here, and we just chilled out were awesome. The beach, the ice-cream, the dinners, the crazy stuff like heading into all the xxx shops just to have a good laugh, and best of all, the company.

I'll miss you. Looks like our plans on me heading back to Singapore in December for your gig, and I, acting as your personal groupie is gone.

The Suns will not be the same.
And the local music scene has just lost a great musician.

You'll be missed.

I thought when I come back in December, I'll be able to play with you, but looks like you had other plans. You must have suffered for quite a long time, but nevertheless, you'll always be my baby.

At first I was afraid of getting close to you, but you taught me that there was more to you than just sharp teeth masked by a cute face. You had a unique personality that no other clouded leopard would have. You opened up your heart, and we opened ours. Thank you for letting us in.

You gave us a sense of accomplishment at the end of it all, when it was time to test the months of training by a blood draw on the tail. Moreso, you showed us and the world that conditioning you to do that was possible. AP's presentation in Thailand was a success, and it aroused much interest in it. You were the main star of it all.

You've taught me so much just by being you.

I know I'll miss you very much.

Farewell and Birthday Party

I think this describes me. Maybe I should dye my hair blonde to go with the whole package. Haha, but Bimbo Rock sounds like an awesome party to go to! Cannot cannot, exams coming. Must try and start studying. Bleah.



I know the previous picture didn't show my red very well. I hope this is a better one, but nothing beats looking at it live! Anybody want to visit me here?

Oo, before I forget. I think God has been really good to me here. He has taken care of me really well. Given me friends that I can count on, feel secure with, and know that if I'm in any trouble, they'll be there for me. Blessed me with good enough results compared with the amount of effort I put in, which is sometimes close to zilch.

Sometimes, He knows my heart, and I don't even need to voice it out. Like how I've been missing my night safari friends so badly, and instead of me going back, God's bringing them here! I mean how often is there a keeper's conference. Plus this conference is actually held in Alice Springs, which is quite far away. But they're flying here just to see the Melbourne zoo, how awesome is that? I mean they're so many other zoos, but they're coming here. Plus, they're going to live in walkable distance to my house, so I'm going to disturb them everyday! Pity its only from 21 - 24. But I'm just so thankful.

Last week, I was fussing over my hair cause it was getting irritating, and I wanted to cut it so badly. But I didn't know which hairdresser to go to, so I searched for like a whole week for a cheap but sufficiently good one. Didn't come to any conclusion as the cheapest I found was 50 bucks for just trimming, and I didn't wanna spend that much money. But God knows my heart. Haha, I got stopped on Lygon street by a hairdresser. Said he wanted to try out new styles, and needed a hair model. The price: free of charge! Now thats what I call Blessings. =D

Back to the topic...

Last Saturday, 12 of May, we went to BLVD to celebrate a friend's birthday and send 2 people off. BLVD's like the best R n B club around. At least to me though. The music's good, the sound system's fantastic, the atmosphere's great, and the company awesome. =) Its so good that if you start queueing at 11 to go in, you'd probably queue for an hour and a half before you set foot in. So its a must to reach there by 10!

And then the party starts...
Love my fingernails.
Rock on!


Angie and me. I think in January, I'll go visit her in Jakarta! We'll have a BLAST, cause its cheap to travel there, plus, she's great company, and we'll have vip treatment! Can't wait. Now all I need is money.
Sponsors anyone?


Sue, Steph, Siska.






I forgot the name of the black shirt guy, but he's from Korea. The blue one is Dave from Boston. Haha, I met Dave on the streets by chance during the second week here in Melbourne. Can't believe we're still in contact. He's got the Boston accent thats just really fun to imitate.


Most of the time, I didn't know where my camera went. It was just being passed around, and everybody was just totally crazy either dancing, talking, or just being narcissistic.




Totally love this pic.




Robert and me.




Family.

A City With Attitude

Lining the walls of Melbourne is plenty of graffiti and posters. Gives you a glimpse of the arts here. After living in Melbourne for 3 months plus now, I'm starting to feel that Singapore is too clean for its own good.

It needs culture, it needs attitude. In every alley, there's tons of these graffiti, and I know behind each and every one, there lies a story of anger, sadness, confusion, the need to vent. The need to express. Its made Melbourne into a city with attitude.

But before, you launch into the avalanche of graffiti pictures ahead, I caught this while walking through a lane of cafes and bars. Think they got themselves a tad confused. Hells downstairs, Heaven's upstairs. Get your facts right! =D


Below are pictures I captured while exploring with a friend.
There lies the alleys that come alive.







I'm an owl. Are you?
Only difference is that I don't smoke.


Lady nymph.





Ghost Buster.




Into a world where I belong.


Dead end.
Darkness beckons.
The walls tell their stories.


The cat's crying.
Do you need someone to comfort you?
Are you lonely?
Take me away with you.




Dark and eerie. Sin-ridden, maybe?


Materialism.


Even the bins are coloured.


A mosiac of pictures.







Cute skulls.


Hanging naked by ropes.


Caught red-handed.


Painted pictures.





A break from the pictures. Me trying to kiss the crab!
Is he my prince charming?


Chalk drawings on the ground.

Oh romeo, romeo
Wherefore art thou romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name,
Or if thou wilt not,
Be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a capulet.


The seven seas.


Little Red Riding Hood.


This is of course, me.


Okay, fine, this is me.
Check out my hair! I wanted to streak it blue or green, but the hairdresser refused cause she said bleaching my hair would damaged it, so I streaked it red underneath my black hair. Subtle stuff. =( But I'm still bend on getting my blue.
I want and I will.
Just you wait.
