i'm back in sydney.
kinda weird feeling.
felt that the airplane was just another high-class cab.
doesn't even feel real that i'm thousands of miles away from you.

your message to me was passive.
my reply to you was simple.


i love you.

in 15 hours, it's goodbye sunny weather and hello chill.

yesterday morning, i woke up really early to go talk to buddy. took a cab down to choa chu kang columbarium. the cab driver was very chatty. asked me why would i choose to go to such a place and i just told him cos i need to see my buddy. on my way there, my heart felt really heavy. i saw ngee ann polytechnic as the taxi cruise down PIE and i remembered that day when buddy came down to look for me after my break-up with mervin. i cried at the columbarium. spoke to him quite a bit before i told him i had to go.

afterwhich, i decided to take things easy. went to bugis to get my stationeries and walked around a little. haven't been on my own for a long time. walked around bugis and i remembered those days when i used to work there. how mervin would always pack lunch for me after his school cos he knows i'll probably skip lunch. it wasn't on his way home or whatever. he always went out of the way for me but i was too blind to see it. i really took him for granted. guess it's really my fault that the relationship turned bad. my ambitions, my dreams just pulled us too far apart.

headed back to bedok and met up with dennis. dennis was like if it's not because you are leaving tomorrow, i would have gone gym today. -laughs- interesting guy. i'm so glad to see him before i leave. he wanted to send me off today but he can't make it as he has training but it's alright as well. we talked quite a bit. talked about buddy. talked about his ex-girlfriend. talked about life. 5 years ago, when i first met dennis, i probably would never have imagined having such a conversation with him. but now, it's like a common topic for the both of us. time really change people.

after that, i went home for a while to rest before heading down to boat quay for drinks with yuna, herng jiun, carol, doreen, victor, zhongying, alvin, gary and yingyun. i was really shocked that doreen and victor came down cos i don't have their contacts at all. :x i actually only contacted 4 of the people in the group - carol, yuna, gary and zhongying. i like the marketing technique - word of mouth - really helps alot. :) as usual, we talked about buddy. we bonded because of him. honestly speaking, i don't know whether to thank him or what. it's a very mixed feeling. anyway, thanks for coming down everyone!!!

doreen actually said something to me last night, which i found rather interesting. it was in a completely different perspective from what i've been hearing of late. ask boldly. i think that's what i have to do. ask boldly.

the ring doesn't belong on the chain.
it belongs on my 4th finger on my left hand.

i got the NUM bag i wanted for so long.
i went to watch the movie i've been looking forward to.
i finally managed to celebrate his birthday with him though it's 2 days in advance.

a lot of thoughts swarmed my head today. since i got my student visa approved at about 1pm today, everything had been a whirlwind. i rushed to call my mum to inform her; called dav to inform her i'll be back soon; called a million others before i embarked on my numerous calls to the travel agencies to book my flight. dropped mervin a message and changed like a million appointments before finalising on meeting him today to sort-of celebrate his birthday. would love to have done more but we only had 2 hours.

after getting the NUM bag, i started wondering if i really am ready to go back to sydney. i love it there. the liberty, my own room and dav. i love our little apartment; it's like this place i can just run to and forget about all the things that had happened in singapore cos basically, i'm so far away and i can't do shits about it. then i thought again of you, i really just couldn't bear to leave you again but you don't seem to have a care about it.

after watching lake house, i began to have this enormous train of thoughts. i am willing to spend the next 5 years waiting for you; am willing to risk it all for you but a question was deeply lodged in my head - are you willing to wait for me? i know your answers to me will be, "you deserve better" or "there's no point waiting" and sometimes i really wonder if your answers are right.

true, i do deserve better but that better man is you. i embrace your virtues and your flaws. in fact, your flaws made you the better man. an irony? i do think so as well but i really don't know how to explain myself here. to me, your virtues and flaws made you who you are and i love you for that. whenever you change, i'm just more enthralled by it and you seem to slowly morph into the "better" man.

then again, it's true, there's no point waiting because i don't seem to be waiting at all. whenever i see you, i feel as if i'm being taken back in time when we were still together. it was always so beautiful. it's like we are never apart and there's no such thing as waiting at all. the only thing that i seem to be waiting is for a confirmation of my status with you but even that doesn't seem to matter to me now. whenever i see that you enjoy yourself with me, i'm overjoyed.

this time round, i came back to singapore. i wanted to really stop everything. i was very disheartened about us but you know what, my heart melted at the very sight of you. it was impossible. i was shocked when you messaged me "welcome back" an hour after i touched down in singapore. i didn't expect you to remember. i was pleasantly pleased that you met me at least once, if not twice, a week despite your busy schedule. though we had our tiffs, i was really happy. we had our big argument but you know what, i'm kinda glad we had it. i was very upset and even cried every single night after the argument till the truce we had but when i read that message you send me from shaun's place, i was secretly in joy.

i really wanna wait for you and make this work. however, i really can't do this alone. i need you to do this with me. i love you.

i got all that i wanted but really, all i want is you.

to you, m.

your friends have always had greater importance than me.
last year i didn't have the chance to spend your birthday with you.
this year, again, i don't have the chance.

it's alright.

i'll be alright.

friendship.

i was talking to mervin about this old friend of his, who refused to have any form of relations with him anymore. i didn't know what was up so i told him to just initiate and talk to him first. losing a friend, especially a close friend, is not pleasant. so not pleasant.

after bud's death, i've been doing alot of thinking. alot of soul-searching. the biggest regret in my entire life is not being there for him. he gave me many chances but i never took it. because of my own anger. my selfishness. i neglected him. i wanna cherish all my friends and hold them dear but i'm also afraid. i afraid that another will leave me again and bring about the same pain i'm going through now.

friendships have always been very important to me, especially bud's. i never thought i would lose him in my entire 9 years of knowing him. never. i thought we had it going for us. i even thank God for this beautiful guy that He send to be my bud. yet, i never cherished him well. sometimes, i just feel i don't deserve to have any friends.

peeps out there, good, close friends are really hard to come by. cherish them well. i've lost someone that i love so deeply and my biggest regret is not listening. don't make the same mistake that i did.

i'm sorry bud.

i've been asked twice this week - "so what do you want?"

seriously, does it matter WHAT I WANT? it doesn't cos half the time, it's a no. and the next quarter will just be empty promises. so what's the point? i don't need patronizing statements. i don't need anything.

i'm just an unreasonable, selfish, spoilt brat.

i'm getting kinda tired.
that sick in the stomach feeling.
the name-callings.

i kinda really have enough of it.

mum made a proposition a few days back.
seriously considering it now.
if i do take it up, i don't think it would matter anyway.

24 more hours and it'll be 14 days since bud left.
still find it difficult to accept he's gone.
really wish i can just pick up my phone and call him for advice.

i miss him so much.

the chemical is starting to wear off.
your skin has begun to deteriorate
but you still look the same old, same old.
i still can't believe you're gone.
it's like an elaborated nightmare that doesn't wanna end.

i really don't know how to move on without you.
you used to be there for me all the time and now,
i'm alone. i'm all alone.

- Tribute to Herng Jye: the best buddy one could ask for -

a son, a brother; a soldier, a friend.
many roles did you effectively play
in this enormous stage called life
and encaptured many of our hearts.

1st july 2006, in the dawn of the day,
an irreversible path you chose then,
determined the early curtain falls
with many questions left in the air.

you were the embodiment of joy,
lighting up your loved one's world.
the best friend anyone could ask for,
always there with a ready hand or tissue.

the day we dread came a little soon.
when hello was said, farewell was to be.
as you embark on your new journey,
remember us all as we remember you.


to you, my buddy.
this is just for you.

why did you leave me behind?
you! of all people! you told me to hang on
but you chose to let go.
how am i supposed to move on?

this is just a nightmare right?
buddy, tell me this is a nightmare.
tell me that you're still here.
you can't just leave me behind like that.

i miss you.
i'm sorry i failed you as a friend.
buddy, please come back.
