Life is so unfair! And it always is with people that truly don't deserve it. A very close family friend of ours has been diagnosed with gall-bladder cancer and is given only a yr to live. Imagine having a deadline to your life. I know we all don't know when and where we're gonna die, it could be tommorow or even in 50years time. But having placed a time-line in your life is indeed a very scary thought.So what will you do, how are you going to live?
Well, with that thought hanging heavily on my mind, I've realise that life is way too short to be fearful or angry at certain things. Do things with full compassion and make everything worth your while. (sound so philosophical eh?!). ANYwaay, just be happy and have fun.

As for what I've been up to lately..well, our little Ner (not so little anymore) is finally working. Okay maybe working is not really the right word to use. I'm more like helping out my mum's friend with some stuff in his company. SO, my position currently is as follows:JAVA PROGRAMMER/IT CONSULTANT. Sounds pretty important eh?! hehehe...What my job here is to convert his Delphi softwares to Java platforms. Its alittle hardcore, but slowly I'm getting used to it. Here's the low-down of the company. Its called Emobile. What we do is to provide services through sms. We've built a chip which has our software embedded in it. Currently our business is mainly based in Jarkarta. So with your mobile, you can do simple transactions (e.g checking bank balance, funds transfer, blah blah..). Other services our we provide is allowing customers to use their mobile like VISA cards (direct debit). So for example, when you go to one of our merchants (i.e restaurant) and you're about to pay your bill. All you have to do is to give your mobile num. The restaurant will then send an sms to the bank, which will in return sms u for confirmation of the payment and your pin. And VIOLA! you've paid your bill. Well there're more services that we provide but I'll spare you the boring details. For those interested, well just email me. hehehe...

I'm coming HOME!!! After 15weeks of being back in sunny Singapore, I'm dying to go HOME! I know Singapore is truly home and I love it here (don't get me wrong) but I guess it's the getting used-to-be-back-here thing that is getting to me. I've been gone for 5 years. I've built a life there. Coming back here, meant I had to leave everything back there.My friends, my family, and a chapter of my life. Many will call this a part of life and that this is all a part of growing up. I miss everyone back there.

Fine, its easy making new friends,but making ones that will last and mean as much as those in Sydney - impossible!! Okay maybe I'm over dramatising, but everytime I meet a new person, I find it such a cumbersome to introduce yourself, telling them about what you've done, why you chose to do that..and stuff like that. Its painstaking I tell you. Its worst when you've got a problem and you need to talk to someone (other than your parents) about it. But THERE's NO ONE HERE!!! Imagine I have to tell them all the things leading/relating to the problem before I can tell them about the problem.Sigh..I miss you guys!! Even my old high school friends are so different now, its like we have this 5year gap between us. I'm glad Coral is back. Finally someone who understands me. But I've been pretty busy as well so haven't really had the chance to meet up with her proper.*ner makes a date (Must meet Coral)*

Anyways, yes I'm coming home!! It'd be a short one but we'll make it last. PARTIES PEOPLE!! Its ARTICULATE time!!! hehehe...I can imagine, Mags getting her 'leather' clothes ready, her milk shaking drinks, Thomas's intimate relation with Mark's venus-fly-trap. HAhaha..Classic memories man. So its a date, we're definately going to play Articulate!! Here's the plan..I'll be arriving with my folks on the 27th Oct (thurs) and we'll be leaving a day after my grad 5th (Sat). Well for those that can count (def not me!!!), you can see that I barely have 8days to hang with you guys. So please please please for my sake, keep your days free k!!!

Mags>> This is for you. (well it goes to Debs too but I doubt she reads my blog)

My menu list: Chap Jae (we have to cook this again -this time not too much k)

Aw man, another month more!! I can't wait. So till then guys, good morning, good afternoon and good night.

I hope you’re doing fine out there without me

‘Cause I’m not doing so good without you
The things I thought you’d never know about me
Were the things I guess you always understood

So how could I have been so blind for all these years?
Guess I only see the truth through all this fear,
And living without you…

And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

I can’t take another day without you
‘Cause baby, I could never make it on my own
I’ve been waiting so long, just to hold you
And to be back in your arms where I belong

Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
But everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love…

And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

As the days grow long I see
That time is standing still for me
When you’re not here

Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
Everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love

And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
