couldn't think of anything else more officiating than blogging
i'm making it official. i'm leaving soon for uni in melbourne. and by soon i mean in 3 weeks. i know.. i know.. its too soon. too soon for anything and everyone. and it's always the same response..
"what?!" / "gee.. that sucks man.." / "what about all those things you've planned out" / "just after ORD!?"
believe me. I KNOW. i feel every pain and bewilderment you assume my oblivious mind or feeble heart could not handle. how about something more positive next time. i'll start with this -> :)
just to lay out certain facts
1. i had the idea and slight intention of going back down under to study. but not that soon.
2. i've a perfectly great place in nus with so much to look forward for.. but i scaled both of them side by side and.. straight to the point - it is my choice.
3. timeline wise. i didn't really have much of a choice. its either now or next year. i fought hard, prayed hard and requested for semester 2. but was replied with no, no and no.
4. i get to go all the way to masters with practically zero dollars!
5. evelyn was telling me that sometimes we have the urge to leave everything behind and start again with no strings whatsoever attached. like pressing life's restart button. you know what? maybe i do. seems rather cool a thought.
6. like said. i just wanna graduate good and earn enough money so that i can go into my passion of food and music. (you need capital you know)
what can i say.. life sometimes presents itself as an unstoppable freight train or a draft of wind caused by a wave of God's hand. either way, i'm not quite prepared.
i should blog again about this with a more settled and stablised frame of mind.

i so have to account for this
darryl ho, affectionately known as ping, accuses me for being a CPS (car park snatcher)after the incident today.
so the following is an account to the best of my unbiased knowledge.
i was driving right behind ping in the multi storey carpark when he stopped in front me. i edged up to his side and apparently there was a car that happened to leaving from a slot. once the car left, ping and his fellow passengers waved at me to go ahead. now this is the tricky part. because all that earnest waving could be interpreted in two ways.
a) i am a kind soul. a man before others. please go ahead and take that lot.
b) move ahead, get the out of the way and make space for me to park my car
now. obviously i chose to believe in the good of others. so i parked my car and turned to face ping's angry face with clenched fists and dear alvin's bellows.
wah la.. i'm a car park snatcher.
its cool. we're still friends
