I googled 'things to do before you die' and I came up with a few good websites. http://thetravelersnotebook.com/activity-guide/50-things-to-do-before-you-die/ - This site is pretty good as they've picked out 50 large items to go. http://www.thingstodo.oncelife.com.au/ - This site is good as well and it's actually a site for an insruance company but it's still a good list.

It's always a bit daunting when you approach a fenced area on a field that has been put aside for 5,200 bikes - one for you and another for the other 5, 199 people who are about to take part in the biggest triathlon in the southern hemisphere. As our team - "The Last Legs" arrived on Saturday to register our bikes, I was sure that I was going to freakout and freeze up on Sunday. On Sunday, I

The Global Corporate Challenge is well on the way and so far, the walking sticks are going well and the team has made in into Region Three - West Asia. As we trek through Daud Khel, with the warmth of the 32 degree sun beating on our backs, we are fighting hard to maintain our lead in the company. The Strawberry Pigeons are coming along well, not too far behind in Ad Dwahah.On a funner note, we

I do like what's coming up next and that's winter! I think I'm one of the few people who like winter but you know.Firstly, I like skiing. I'm pretty crap at it [just ask Wayn] but I like it! Secondly, I love the fashion... I mean Melbourne comes alive at the Winter and it's a time that we have a chance to dress up in layers!

Seeing as I am in Singapore, not only the land of the sterile but also the land of lots and lots of food, I figure that my blog *should* pay some homage to the various kinds of food available so here's more photo of just that! Chinese Dumplings or "bah chang" in Hokkien, literally meaning "meat dumplings". These dumplings are mostly mare with glutenous (or sticky) rice with various kinds of

New year's wasn't overly spectacular but it was fun. I started off the night grabbing a bite with Adrian, Ange, Alan, Sarah and Kay before heading into Brix to meet Daphne, a club close to the Hyatt thinking it was salsa night. Unfortunately it wasn't so Daph and her mum left to go to Ballroom where Adrian and Ange and I joined them after. Ballroom is actually a dance studio/bar and there were

Ministry of Sound - Clarke Quay, Singapore - was where it was kicking on Wednesday 27 December.

when people break up, sometimes the reason (or excuse) we hear is "we don't have the same goals anymore" or "we don't want the same things in life". so I've been thinking right... (insert the "oh my god, you can think?" jokes here)... Things like goals are, well, fluid... they change as time goes on. So when you think you've found the perfect person who wants the same out of life as you do, you

As I sit in my living room typing this blog entry, the internet works hard in the back ground uploading the photos that have come as a result of a weekend away on a houseboat in Echuca.

It is a late Sunday afternoon as the houseboat floats silently on the sun swept Murray that marks the border of Victoria and New South Wales. A welcomed breeze brings relief from the warm summer sun.

That on it's own was eventful with us ordering spicy food which Luke couldn't handle.

I mean the movie... anyway, they have a quote in the movie: "It's not about doing the things you love, it's about doing things with the one you love."It got me thinking that maybe I have been a bit selfish in hoping that the both of us could do what we wanted and then just see each other once in a while.

Can you love someone more than they love you? I think it is possible. He told me that love is a two way thing and therefore one person cannot love another more than they love them. I disagree. Love isn’t a two way thing. Love is an emotion and emotions can be felt by a single entity. A relationship, on the other hand, is a two way thing because a relationship automatically implies the existence

He used to be the one person that I’d go to cry, the one person I thought could hold all my dreams. When I looked at him, my heart would melt and when he held me, I wanted to remain that way forever. Now, he’s joined the ranks of the people I’m afraid to share my thoughts and my dreams with because he might just take them and crush them. He no longer looks at me the way he used to and I don’t

okay, so like what is the deal with people i know who are on breaks in their relationships? a discussion with some of our friends last night and with some strangers at St Jerome's have led to the conclusion that breaks are, well, bull.Firstly, I think it is unfair to take a break to find yourself as a person.

I'm not sure what is up with me but most of u will have heard of the passport incident by now..... I did kick myself in the ass for it but as it appears, I have yet to learn from the incident and have now misplaced my passport. Sheer irresponsibilty there for you. I still like to think it is my subconscience holding on to any last shread of LA that I can, not really wanting to leave, not really

So yesterday I had the most surreal feeling ever. As I rode in the blue super shuttle van across New York to the JFK airport, the overcast New York sky mimicked my emotions. It seemed that all of a sudden, reality had made its move. I had spent the last four months in a dream and it was time to wake up. I had been waiting for this moment for weeks, imagining what it would be like to leave behind

Happy new year to the eastern half of the globe! Sad to say it's never the true new year until the ball drops here in times square.... all new years before and after just don't count!! muahahaha!!We woke up about an hour ago and the first snow flakes have fallen since our arrival in NY so we are pretty stoked! When I say stoked, I mean Gabby, Esben and I... simply because everyone else is still

Merry Christmas and God Bless everyone!! It is Christmas evening here in NY and in most other places, Christmas is over... *aw* well, there's always new year's to look forward to! =0)I have spent the last for days in NY and it has been mad.... Day one we arrived and Quan and Swee Poh slept for a bit in Pei Shan's apartment which we are living in. And stealing their neighbour's wireless btw... ha

Today I feel a little sad. It´s far after the school term has ended and people have started to disperse. Returning from Vegas just last Sunday, Katrine and Damir have taken off to Copenhagen. Today, Eric, Aleix and Eli will go home to their families leaving Stuart to go to Boston and Stanley and I here in LA. But soon enough, Stanley will leave for San Diego and I will be joined by Quan and Daryl

Hi all....Not all of you will know but it has officially been the end of semester for me for the last four days. Hol op. Did I mention that it is also my final semester of my undergraduate degree?? Oh dear, oh dear, what have they done, they have let me out into the workforce!! On January 30, I will commence my employment with the National Bank of Australia. Aren't they are in for a real surprise

So I think it's tradition that I always take some time off from my exam study to fill in my blog... yes yes, indeed it is. The thing is it's not going to be too random because I have stuff to say!Let's finish off Tahoe --> Saturday, our third day at Tahoe was slightly better. It snowed a bit and we took a walk outside on Friday night. Before naturally getting completely hammered that night as

So today is the second day that we have been in Tahoe and the most that we are getting is well, rain. But the journey so far has been a blast and a half.We took off from Daryl and Wei Chuan's place around 9.30 to pick up Hanson and also meet two other cars to head off to Tahoe. We have rented three Ford Expeditions, these huge eight seater cars, and there are 16 people in total. If only all our

ahhhhhhhh!!!!!! I think I'm going to cry. Yes, me, cry. *sniffle* Today we start the Thanksgiving holiday. Or at least as soon as I finish up with this SAP class. Then I will head to Tahoe with 14 other people, 13 of whom are all hardcore Singaporeans. *hhhmmm* This long weekend is going to be one huge lah-fest! The great thing is, I agreed to go under the premise that we will be going skiing.

Okay, so I've been a little MIA lately. And sad to say, I haven't actually been up to anything lately! The past few weeks have just been spent hanging out with all the other kids who we will not be seeing in about 5 weeks. Yeah, it's kinda scary! I mean, we've spent the last 12 or so weeks with each other and soon, they will be no more... Well, not really no more becasue we all hope to keep in

Hi all! I am a little smashed right now... I'm pretty sure I just downed half a bottle of red wine. *hhhmmm* Wanted to put a post up because I am pretty excited! Went to CHINATOWN today!!! I know, doesn't sound like much but we had yum cha and it was good! =0) Went with Stan and Ben Ng. We were so excited that we were taking pictured all during lunch. I reckon some people thought we were crazy

so like... i think all the interesting stuff could happen has already happened! This week wasn't all too interesting. Was drinking most of the nights after getting back from Vegas so that was, well, interesting. Had dinner at Stanley's place last Thursday so that was fun... awsome food hon! =0)Friday we hit Mood, a fabulously awsome club in Hollywood where Brett scored work at. Now, that was fun!

Okay... so it's like almost 2am but I was having a look at other people's blogs and decided that I needed to update mine before anyone else was able to get incriminating stuff in simply because we spent last weekend in vegas! That was totally mad but I doubt anyone on the trip will be adhearing to the "what happens in vegas stays in vegas" rule. As one kindly photographer puts it, once you have a

Okay okay!! It's almost been a month and here I am, *finally* updating my blog... Yeah yeah whatever not like that many of you keep up and read it anyways! Since September 18, my time here at USC has gone off! Travelling, partying have all be fun but the work has also kicked in.

Hi once again all...This week hasn't been overly packed with fun-filled activities like trips to another city or to disneyland (hey, disneyland was cool okay?). But, it has been filled with some parties and our first USC football experience! The week started fairly dull, just school and the usual with a bout of the sniffles. Still have them but can't say they've slowed me down. =0)It all started

Disneyland eh you all say? =0)That's right... Last Friday the exchange students of the Marshall School of Business took off to Disneyland! =0) There were probably 30 of us in total who went so we ended up splitting up into smaller groups when we got there.For sure, I ended up with Sean and that was greta cause we never had to look at a map once!!

Hi All! =0)It's been two days since I've been back from San Francisco and have been hurled back into classes. We arrived at the LA Greyhound station at 7.10am, hopped into a cab and headed home. Mel and I both had 10am classes but I was way too excited about getting my photos onto my computer when I got home! So I did that and headed to my 10am class. I can't say that I slept all that well on the

San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world for me right now. It's right now having a battle with New York as my favourite city!After my last post on Friday night, we headed out for dinner at a Japanese place around the corner which was fabulous. We then met up with the rest of the kids at a place called Vixen on the corner of Broadway and Columbus. Covercharge was meant to be

Hi all!!!!It is the labour day long weekend here in the states and it has brought me and about 15 of my fellow exchange students here to LA. As far as I know, the others have made their way over the border to Mexico to get acquainted (or reacquainted) with our friend, Tequila. Personally, not a reacquaintance I'd like to make for a while!Anyways! I finished class at 9.30pm Thursday night, got

Hi one and all!Okay, so like LA, totally has crap public transport. =0) But it has indeed surved me well so far. Last Friday Stuart and I managed to make our way to The Grove, a shopping center in Hollywood so that I could get my iPod replaced. Gotta love warranties. Two buses and 45 minutes from USC took us to The Grove where they have, what I like to call, a miniture Ballagio Fountain. It

*sigh* it's day two of school and I can say two things. I don't necessarily like LA so much that I want to stay here permanently (well, not yet anyways) but I am totally loving USC. If I could, I'd get all my units transferred over and whatever I needed to make up to graduate with a degree from here, I'd do. I mean the classes are so much better and heaps more interesting! Anyways.....So far, I

Hi out there to all of you who have taken the time to read this blog. I hope it has been throughly entertaining for you. =0)3 days -- that's how long I have been in LA. But to tell you the truth, it feels like it's been so much longer because we've had to get so much done. I guess the uninteresting but necessary stuff involved running around campus getting passport verification, student id cards,

Right now, I am completely freaked out. Tomorrow morning, in exactly 9 hours and 2 mins, my flight to LA is scheduled to take off. Have you ever had that feeling in your stomach that you may have made a mistake? Oh, I have that feeling now. I'm not sure why because going on exchange is a great opportunity and there are so many people who would kill to be in my shoes. But not me. Something is

I am still in Singapore but at least the weekend was a little more interesting. Bryn arrived on Friday night and Saturday was lunching with the guai lao at hawker center at Bugis. With our stomachs filled with chicken rice, won tons, some egg tart and peanut, kaya and banana thingys, wee took a walk down Arab street. Next time anyone comes down to Singapore, call Bryn, not me. =0)We then headed

Hi again all...The computer I am sitting at today is one that I do not sit in front frequently. In the surrounding, the soft whurs of the airconditioning can be heard as it cools the air that would otherwise be warm and heavy. The reason why I am here is because it is day one of my journey to exchange. Given, I am not actually in the States as of yet, but am actually, sitting in my home in

Sitting in front of the computer that is originally Mike's desk, I can't help but think how much I need sleep. I didn't even realize that Mike had been transferred to another department. In fact, in getting ready for my exchange to USC, the last week has been a haze of work, pack, sleep and repeat.It's nice being back at work and seeing all the old colleages and friends. But at the same time, it

I am so incredibly excited! And there are several reasons to be, not all of which I will go into detail, lest I get decapitated by some people! =0) But one of the reasons I'm so stoked is that I've spend a large part of the day being a nerd (created of course by our dear Dr. Seuss, Wayn tells me) and am now in the middle of building my website for my exchange, which will link onto this page.The

Have you ever woken up and felt that you were all wrong?Have you ever woken up and wich you could be better looking, nicer, smarter? Or for some, more out-spoken, more determined, no longer a door mat? Have you ever woken up and thought that you weren't good enough for the people around you - friends and family alike? That perhaps they would like you more if you were different? Do you ever wish

It is now going to be one of those days. You know how you wake up and you find that you have unknowingly turned off your alarm clock and it's now 8.30 and you have to be at work by 9.15? As I brisked walked to work (my pitiful attempt to get some exercise into my work day seeing as I have abandoned the gym for now), I had a feeling that it might turn out to be a pretty bad day.However, I was

So I noticed.... you never really update your blog unless you have something really good to say. And that only happens when you actually do something interesting or you have an interesting life. But well... I don't really... So no entries as of yet... Naturally when this started out of course I was busy drinking and dancing with the other crazy people that I knew but we've mellowed down a bit. *

Well, well, well... it's almost been a whole year since I started this blog and 10 months since I last wrote in it... What can I say, I guess the novelty wore off! =0) I figured it's a good time to get it restarted now, just before I head of to the states and use this as a means to tell everyone what a fab time I am having without them.... *snigger*But now, as I sit in the Giblin Library,

Poo, poo and poo. It's back to uni time... But while this means the holis are over, it sure as hell don't mean the partying is over! =0) The holis weren't too bad. Hit Sydney, Singapore and then just the weekend past, hit the ski slopes with the Wongs, Saws, Choon and some of Ken's mates. It was indeed a good weekend with Choon trying to keep up with Wayn and ending up having one bad stack where

'sup? Been a bit since I last wrote in here but then I've been busy working and dancing! The international dancers workshop was just on the weekend where Daph, Vince, Nagisan, Liz and I managed to live through two days of dancing for eight hours straight each day! Mind you, despite leaving on Sunday with an extremely sore neck, it was still worth it! Had so much fun and hell, I'd do it again! =0)

well... just woke up from a 10 min nap in the law library and I had to say, the next three days will go by like a blur for me I envision. Even as the as the exam closed in, the days still seem long for me who dragged her sorry arse out of bed at 8am to the library to remain there until 11pm, the days have felt long and could not have moved any more slowly. Punishment for the lack of dedication

Going by the current date and time it is one more sleep till I leave Sydney *sob sob* and it also means it's about a week before I sit my three final exams for semester I, 2004. Kinda exciting kinda not.Sydney's been okay the past few days, did *a bit* of work, bummed a lot while Dave was back for Sunday and the public holiday. Planning to see the next Harry instalment tonight although I have

yup, that's right... ouch... I hurt my back... dammit cause I want to go to hip hop tonight... last one for a week and a half while I'm in Sydney... But we'll see... I'm at work trying to stretch out my back and man, it is soooo incredible painful!and man... HCI tomorrow... I don't know... I think I've done enough study but we'll see. Depends on how much they change the questions and all.But

arghhhh.... yes yes yes, examination time. I think I underestimated the possibility that HCI could be so dry (sorry Piya) but yeah... It's so not my cup of tea.... Well, maybe trying to learn in all at one shot is what's making it boring and all.Caught that Warren Miller film which was cool and just made me wanna go skiing some more! Dammit, now I want to go again, just thinking about it! This is

And so we approach that time of the year. End of semester one and we greet the up coming with grotesque disgust as all it brings are examinations. Well, for most of us anyways. I can't say I'm overly prepared and even now, I'm meant to be finishing off the final db assignment. Well, it's pretty much done except for the fact that I didn't email the appendix and reference to myself so I'm going to

*sigh* It's too early in the morning to be awake for me.... Last night was James Preston and Andrew Gordon's 21st Party and man... I have no idea what that thing was I had. I say thing becasue it was a thing... damn that bartender! =0) Oh and thanks to Mark and Mike... especially Mike (and I'm sorry too!! really really really sorry!) Belle wasn't doing too well either but I departed the party

The title of today's blog is dedicated to Wayn. For reasons that will go unexplained. So there. Oh, I have a feeling it's going to be a long day today... Missed my 9am, skipped my 10am... I'm probably going to go for my 3.15pm and 4.15pm but I'll probably skip the 5.15 one... Some catching up to do once SWOT VAC kicks in... oops.Got the HCI prototype from Chinks today and I gotta test it on Chris

Well, actually if someone could explain that to me that would be great... I am so way in over my head with this subject! Too bad it;s too late withdraw! =0P Naturaly I am talking about advanced database... Got assignment 1 back and well well, not all too happy about it... for 9 out of 15 and I found out that I should've got 11 but that I lost the 2 marks going over the word limit. I'm going to

Went out last night... *again*... I think it's going to be the last time I go "out out" for a while becasuse it's time to get cracking and get some work done as well as to save some money and also clean the house seeing as mum and dad are coming for a visit. Hip hop yesterday was not as good as expected cause JD wasn't there are there was a replacement dude... it wasn't too bad except I can't

Dave's back in Sydney so that's a bit poo but it's only a month... breathe... *lolz* I am soooo tired... That's probably my fault and no one else's though so I can't complain! =0) Actually went to my first HCI lecture in like God knows how many weeks and sat there reading my articles for Marketing Communications. How fun! Well, not really, I had to so that I could do my tute work but okay! I was

Dave's back! Dave's back! I'm so stoked! =0) Yippie! Missed him heaps and heaps and heaps so it's nice to have him back for a while... So the past few days have been all about partying, dancing and some work... After Odeon on Thursday, hit Velour with some Telstra and some IS people. After which it was the Sports bar at crown with Luke before having to crash at the promenade becasue he had a

Just spent and hour on the phone with Jieh... we wanna see if we can organise a ball but there'a a lot of research work to go into it first. I really would like it to eventuate so I think it's something might have to get started on soon.... *sigh* it's been another long day at uni over... worked all day today and accidentally missed Geoff's rehersal becasue I thought it ran from 6-7 when it

Arghhh... working on global marketing in the labs... I always get distracted by this thing... it's like updating a website, only not. Obviously I'm still a little amused by this to not be able to ignore it and to keep tying in it. Give it a bit of time... I'll get over it! =0) In the meantime it'll probably be some meaningless posts here and there. Dave's all the way in London at the moment,

So.... i had a shot at livejournal.com... I wasn't too impressed becasue customizing the page became a little too challenging and was way to hard... and as for me, i need results and i need them fast dammit! so i gave up and came here seeing as the interface was a lot simpler. This is all Chink's fault casue he started updating his live journal in advanced database (well, I guess it's not
