finally got better today. was good enough to go out but the coughing was so irritating it hurt my throat really bad.

had coffee and then watched 'the family stone' with ping. it was an okay show, some parts were very touching, especially the parts with the mum, i teared la. haha but the romantic involvements were rather far-fetched. so it was alright.

went to eat with dan and huiwen after that. meepok and dimsum. damn good!!!

ok i need to sleep soon i have to wake up for soccer tomorrow.

gabriel out!

i hate being ill. especially when its those annoying flu bugs that wont seem to budge. last night was terrible. even falling asleep was hard to achieve. my nostrils felt air-tight, my throat felt like a desert, my eyes felt like glowing ambers, and i almost wanted to fry an egg on my forehead.

thankfully it got better today! but it's still bad. so hopefully i'll recover in time tomorrow and then i can go out :)

on a sidenote, HAPPY 18TH GN SHUMIN!!!

tuesday.
indochine at club street with mark ryan and nigey. went there a little too late so on to chinablack for wyn's party with ping. was pretty good, wasnt exactly crowded but company was good, really nice seeing all the melbourne people. i absolutely agree it felt somewhat like 255.

wednesday.
dxo with nigey and ryan but once we slacked too much and arrived too late. ryan dropped me off at zouk with shuchua but it wasnt as fun cause the people there werent exactly people i talk to, with the exception of ping of course. it was alright in the end though but it just would be much better if the regulars were around. came home, couldnt sleep till 7.

woke up at 10plus today cause i had to go to cmpb to collect my exit permit and then to gleneagles to visit my grandmother. today i realised for the first time my father is the chairman of gleneagles. i've never heard anything of the sort but how else do u explain the valets removing the barrier to the 'chairman's lot' and ushering my dad's car in when my mum drove into the carpark. haha he must tip them really well.
shopping after that for xmas presents proved not too fruitful, only managed to find something for my parents, and i was extremely disappointed i couldnt find a toy smurf (for shumin of course :P). was with jin and then hwh and then met shumin for awhile. then cabbed home.

here i am now. everyone, FALALA tomorrow night please!!! i'll buy you endless drinks okay, just come cause its going to be great fun and there will be hot guys there like owen chong! xmas eve and xmas day are always spent with family so why not spend xmas eve's eve to spread the yuletide cheer amongst your friends. its not too late to get your tickets!

so anyway whoever sees me there tomorrow and tells me you only came because i asked you to will get two free drinks of me. i promise. gabriel out!

amidst all the rubbish my family is currently embroiled in, it's nice to know something simple can put a smile on my face. like eating mcdonalds on my bedroom floor. and having my brother walk past and pat me on the head. i felt six all over again.

im not one to really broadcast my problems online(except the occasional heartache in the past), and definitely not my family problems. but to put it simply, living in my house is becoming something of a drag. my mother and my paternal grandmother cannot seem to see eye to eye on every single issue. my mother thinks my grandmother is poisoning me to go against her, and my grandmother keeps complaining to me how fussy my mother is. add that to the fact my mother is indeed getting very irritating as she gets older. my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with kidney failure today so that's not exactly a very good thing too. and then there's always the issues i have with myself, the things about me that not many people know about. like the fact that im not exactly good at dealing with death. and that im actually a insecure little brat.

but tonight was ok in the end. because of a certain extra value meal. gone were the days where eating mcdonalds could clear every single problem i had in sight. but i sure wish i was six all over again.

morning starshine!

haha was meant to go for breakfast but seeing how i just woke up and its already 12plus that a little bit difficult i guess. cant blame me for sleeping in though, yesterday was tiring.

soccer yesterday was damn exhausting but fun, and i have enhanced my reputation as a hardman haha. roy keane may have take one or two players on his best day, and vinnie jones maybe a couple more, but yesterday i took out an entire team! haha not exactly, but this is what happened.

there were two strikers through on goal and it was only the first minute so i ran all the way back and the ball bounced around chest level so i went to clear it but the striker went to head it. so he headed my foot, or rather... i kicked his face full force. next thing i knew his nose started pouring out blood, as in really, the flow was never ending. and then, his team mates had to send him to the hospital so they all left and the next team came in.

haha keano, beat that!

what shall i do today, meant to meet adriel ok gonna decide what time and then call him. gabriel out!

a beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking jack and coke all morning. she can make you feel high, full of the single greatest commodity known to man: promise. promise of a better day, promise of a greater hope, promise of a new tomorrow. this particular aura can be found in the gaze of a beautiful girl, in her smile, and in her soul, and the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's gonna be ok.

nigey and ryan just left my place and its oddly very quiet. played squash with nigey at sicc at 12 and then we played table tennis as well and then we had a hugeass lunch with ryan and nigey's friend as well. and nigel is damn bad he signed for us the idiot. i wanted to treat him because he treated me crystal jade when i got back but NOOOOOOO he was faster than me. but nevermind cause we have decided to make this into a weekly affair which means next week will be my turn to treat of course.

we were meant to play much earlier actually, meaning 10am but i didnt wake up because i only got back at 6am in the morning which of cos meant that i overslept. kbox at cine last night was very fun, except when jennifer started throwing peanuts at me halfway through "wherever you will go". i have been singing in public for quite awhile now and i swear thats the first time i received such a reaction haha. and believe me i didnt sing i THAT badly (as compared to the reason :P). so weian had jennifer to take care of, and zhihon and dan were happily learning their marklee/jackneo hokkien song, so thankfully i had apple to keep me company. thanks apple for coming even though it was so last minute and i was already there when i asked you, sorry if you were bored haha :(

i am going to have to catch up on abit of sleep now if we are to mambo tonight. gabriel out.

good morning world. there arent many nicer feelings in the world than just waking up whenever you want without any rushing, knowing that you have nothing to do and you can just while your time away. until you get hungry that is.

byebye supper for eric on sunday night. ping, chuin, tits, kelly, lee, claire, nic and the omega. was lotsa fun really. i dont see why people like clubbing that much really. we had so much fun just sitting down at newton eating food and drinking truckloads of beer. you spend less, you have more fun by talking to your friends banter and all, and you dont sweat as much and it's not tiring. i am going to convert everyone into a supper person from a clubbing person.

but anyways it was really fun. eric chang come back soon so we can do it all the time, i just realised we dont need an excuse like you leaving to have a supper like this. we can have it all the time and make supper kakis.

ok byebye! i still want my honey sea coconut grrrrr.

last night was pretty good with the chong and wong coming over with 3 big bottles of tiger, hoegaarden and erdinger. and then the chong tried jagermeister and then irish stout and he had chivas. and he liked it all so no prizes for guessing what happened next. no la but owen can drink much more now than before heh.

cut my hair today pretty short. theres no more fringe, theres no more sides and theres not much back left too. but this is the first haircut in a long while where i am completely satisfied even though its the first day after cutting. you know normally u must wait a few days before it looks nice right but im quite happy with how it looks already. but its pretty short so people might not recognise me ha.

spinelli's after with marc, chuin and lianne. good fun chilling, kawaii marc and dragon ngoi haha. then back home.

there's only so much i can do;
i'm no superman.

i may be guilty of presuming i know you, like you accuse me of, but maybe that's just because i try my best sometimes. and after last night, maybe it's a good thing i don't really know you. it was just a thorough disappointment. but i know my words may have been harsh and insensitive to what you're going through right now and you're upset at me, so here's a very public apology. i'm sorry.

met up with eric today along with shumin and adam. marc and chen tat joined us, and then we split up and eric and adam came back. changed and went down to hollandv to rejoin marc and tat for dinner and then drinks. dan huiwen weian and jenn joined us. we consumed a total of 20 beers and 10 glasses of wine.

i am just thankful the heavens did not pour a little earlier than it did just now.

eric's sleeping over and i fear my typing might be a disturbance (eric's a very fussy boy heh) so i shall stop here now.

i am not kidding when i say the last 24 hours have really been the worst day of my life ever.

just got off the phone with nigey and ryan. a few hilarious quotes.

(after nigel told an obvious lie)
ryan: " nigey i think you make a better singer than a liar"

(and nigey was telling us about having it all planned out and then his mother came in to talk to him for awhile)
ryan: "MRS BOEY!! dont worry!! your son has IT all planned out!"

i nearly died at the second quote haha.

but today i shall attempt to be a little educative. just like philosophers all belong to different schools of thought eg. realism and marxism, people have different approaches to love. and we shall examine three different ideas of love.

1. Strategism
As first practised by Nigellus Brendanes, Strategists firmly believe in planning each and every move they intend to carry out. This rigidity has a positive influence in terms of the target's responses because since every action has been thought out before, its possible consequences have likewise been taken into account and thus, Strategists have every possible outcome already thought out. Thus, unexpected reactions are fairly rare.
However, criticism of Strategism has been strongly raised among many quarters, most saying that this strict approach to love is undermining the essence of love itself, which is basically not knowing what will happen next.
However, Brendanes firmly believes that "foresight is the way to go forward".

2. Spontaeneotism
Acclaimed in 2005 BC by Ryanus of the Fattoman Empire, Spontaeneotists have a somewhat 'slack' approach to love. Although they do not practise total apathy or disregard to emotions, they have long worshipped the Human Gut, and believed we should follow what they classify as "the gut feeling". Thus, all plans and strategies are despised as they conflict with the surprise factor that comes with spontaeneoty (how on earth do u spell the word btw).
Spontaeneotism however has not been totally excluded to criticism, and Nigellus Brendanes himself has declared himself a firm disbeliever in Ryanus' beliefs, stating that to approach love without any strategy would be similar to going to war without a plan. It must be noted however that Nigellus Brendanes and Ryanus have never gotten along well since their days as classmates in love school.

3. Waitism
The final form of love we shall examine today is Waitism, which is practised by Waiters. This radical concept was introduced by the elven smurf princess and high druid, Shuminty. Waiters are praised for their patience and fervent belief that by waiting, the right one will eventually fall their way. Moreover, this approach ensures Waiters do not have their energy sapped by meaningless trial relationships and when the right one actually arrives, they are still full of vigor, ready to give their all in the relationship.
Critics have said Waitism lacks desire and an actual pursuit which is so often the driving force of love but her highness Shuminty has rebuked this argument by saying Waitism isnt actually not doing anything but rather it is saving up all your efforts for the right person, safe in the knowledge that we all have one person out there meant for us.

Now that we have examined this three categories of Love, which do you think you belong to? Also if you have a different approach to love, why don't u tell it to me and i'll also put it up. ( i can see jin rubbing his hands in anticipation here) After all, we welcome different beliefs to love because as academics, a different point of view can only serve as a increase in our knowledge.

the last few days have past by in abit of a blur, probably not because i've been doing alot but more so cause i'm draeding for friday to come, and when you dont want something to come, it just decides to hurry up and arrive.

yesterday was great. finally met up with ericky boy, went for lunch with him, madam and ben. we ate at thai express which was shitloads of fun i dont knoe why. after awhile of walking we met up with marc and chuin and then we walked somemore and went to chill at freebanana (the funny place outside wisma) and then mos burger.

cabbed home with marc and eric to change and stuff then shumin and mich came over with smokey/smoky/smoke :P and then we chatted awhile and then we went to the corner coffee shop at upper thomson which marc WRONGLY calls the chinese restaurant. theoretically marc, that is not THE chinese restaurant, its A chinese restaurant ha. but it was a damn good meal we had VENISON, SWEET AND SOUR PORK, SAMBAL KANGKONG (which i didnt touch haha), TOFU and........ CHILLI CRAB! we have to go there again.

and then we went to marc's and then we were debating on how early to go to zouk but then we wasted time and by the time we got there it was 10 and the queue was THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS long. i reckon we spent two hours plus queueing and then what with the abrupt closing of queue and all it was so annoying we almost left. but thankfully we didnt cause it was quite good fun.

supper afters with chuin and yuping and eric and marc at newton which was also damn good! sambal stingray and sugar cane juice and yuping's awful hokkien mee haha. and then it was back to home sweet home (well marc's home) to get some much needed rest. and here i am now at my own home :)

ok i am going to laze now, do not disturb me ha.
