Housewarming

@ Addison's housewarming party.

Madness

Meet ups with friends and family over the weekend put so much life back in me again after weeks of covering duties in St Pat's. Had a great dinner with Addison and Desmond on Friday with so much discussions about Teaching life and swapping stories with each other about our experiences in the classroom and shenanigans from students.

Managed to catch up with Tor, Dom and Chris for dinner on Sat and made some extra money after from Poker at Cor's house with the homies. Spent Sunday meeting at my cousin's home for their kid's First Holy Communion, birthday party and watched the F1 night race! The only daunting thing I must admit about this weekend is that I have been considering letting somebody I once left behind back into my life again. After tying up loose ends it seems everything was great, in fact, fantastic! But perseverance from people seems to have an impact on me. What will I do?

Get A Life and Get Real!

WHO or WHAT or HOW I am is of nobody's concern but for the people that actually MATTER to me. So don't pour your misery down on me.

I am not a pretentious bloke like some try to be. Turning up their mp3 players to hard rock songs and when it shuffles,"Take A Bow" by Rihana comes on and you immediately switch the song to another ghetto gangsta track because you are embarrassed your friends will know you listen to bubble gum pop shit!

Or even some that persistently deny doing any wrong and refuse to face the consequences of their actions. If you talk about being a man at least face up to your actions rather than sulk and cry like a loser. Why not just get comfortable in your own skin for a change?

I take my hat off to the people that actually know how to think for themselves and stand on their own two feet. They are not afraid of how others perceive them to be. These are the gentlemen of the future!

The Glass is Half Full

I like those free and easy weekends when you don't plan anything much but just meet with friends and do whatever you guys feel like or chill at home and kick-back with a movie!

Spent the whole or most of the Sunday eating and shopping about town with Addison, whom I haven't seen in sometime while he's getting adjusted to University life. Heard many nice things and I cannot wait to start my University in 2 years!

"I see the glass as half full.

You see it as half empty.

I think we have a problem."

It's Wicked Down Under!

Got a whole new meaning to the term "Down Under" on my vacation to Perth, WA last week. And boy is everything low, loaded and branded! The thing I find appealing going to another country is that I'm always living a different lifestyle. That's kinda like my motto and I live true to it by doing things I won't normally do back home.

Here's a breakdown of the things I did in Perth; From taking the subway like J Lo... to eating to my heart's content like Kirstie Alley... to visiting Churches like Mother Teresa... to shopping like Paris Hilton... to relaxing with the company of nature and country like Jason Mraz... and last but not least partying it up like P Diddy! (Ok not, Diddy, that's a tad over the top! Oh wait, Yes, Diddy!)

It was only a week so that was about all we could squeeze into the itinerary. I must admit I didn't think I was gonna have as much fun as I did in Perth and I'm glad everything happened the way it did. To my mates, the blokes and blonds, thanks for a good time!

For Your Entertainment (Part III)

"There are so many times I turn to look at you
You seem so mesmerized I wonder what I didn't do
Take me away to somewhere green and blue
Oh how the black and white seems to go so well on you

Open the gate and set yourself free
I'll take you to the abyss of Love and darkness
When you get up from this bed and see all your favourite things
You wouldn't recognize the pieces that's left of me."

For Your Entertainment (Part II)

"To the ends of the earth would I search.
Through rampant storms would I sail.
Not knowing where or how is like a plague.
I just need to have you around for my own sake."

For Your Entertainment (Part I)

"Being your entertainment for a night, doesn't mean I'm your bitch for life."

Let's Play,The Age Is Right!

When my students at St Patrick's guess my age, they normally tell me I look about 20-25 and sometimes even 18. Same goes for when I was teaching at St Stephen's. However, today at Ngee Ann primary, the girls there suggested that I looked 35!!! Maybe it's the facial hair I've been keeping. Time to shave to look young again! Working life has been taking a toll on me. I haven't been keeping up to my gym schedule or eating the right food or regularly for that matter. What's the secret to not being lazy? Motivation!

The Light At The End of the Tunnel

I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

What obstacles I will face, I don't know.
But all I want to do, is experience something new.
Familiar faces and familiar sounds
surround me as I walk by the once open territory
I used to love so dear.
Now I see with brand new eyes.
The vision of thy enemy,
I once wanted to be.
After you've succumb to the toils and snares,
the path is open to your new found freedom.
Life as we know it,
ceases to exist.
Oh how you will miss
the love and warmth of thy bliss.

"In my mind
Been a little hazy

Clouded with confusion
Dived into depression

Everyday is a riddle
Waiting to be solved

What will happen after
Could just be a disaster

When it's time to strike
It'd hit you like in your first fight."

they who believe in me shall not thirst.

And they who eat of this bread,

Stronger Than Ever!

Corey was just recently promoted as Sergent of his unit. And in celebration of his new rank and hmm bigger pay cheque, it called for another visit to Chevy's with a bottle of famous grouse waiting to be opened and some dancing! What's so great about this bar is that play everything from The Beatles to Jay-Z; from the 1960's to 2000's; from the young to the old! I think in our future visits we won't just be listening to just the band play but rocking out to the singing from within our circle too. Now that would be awesome!

"Lala how the life goes on."
