I close both locks below the window.
I close both blinds and turn away.
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.
And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.
Pink cards and flowers on your window,
Your friends all plead for you to stay.
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.
And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.
[Guitar solo]
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

Entering The New Era of XHTML
Ok I know it's been around since ages, but I've just had my blog transit from HTML to XHTML for future proof sake and some essential widgets I need to add. So to those who had difficulty accessing the site today I do apologised. The site is now up & running as usual and there aren't any drastic change to the site. Just some clean up.
Other news... here's to all Trekkies out there!
We can finally "BOLDLY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE (or played) BEFORE" =)

23rd Birthday [1-3 August 2008]
This year my 23rd Birthday celebration spread out throughout the weekend. Even though I was really sick... my spirit to celebrate such special occasion cannot be shattered!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday 1st August
Had a joined party with Slinky's sister, Mei Yee, at VII who is celebrating her birthday which falls on that very day, 1st of August.
It was a theme party too! Will let u guys guess the theme ler.
Ivan
Wasn't really happening though (for me), opened bottles... but all I can do is watch them drink and me drinking Green Tea =p Healthy option yea? Well no choice cause I dun want my precious liver to explode from the alcohol + penicillin reaction.
Chin
Cinvin + Mei Yee
The boys: Me, Slinky & Ivan
JinYin
Was a good night overall. For me most importantly that my friends are enjoying themselves and are entertained.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat 2nd August
Had dinner with my relatives. Big Ah Pa was in town so had dinner in the usual Shark Fin House in Chinatown. At the same time the meal was to celebrate my birthday too. Was good catching up with the Wong families. Never a dull moment with them. Sadly, I was still sick... couldn't play along with my lil cousin Natalie. Couldn't really talk much too... throat was really killing me!
Aww... but she better not get sick or I'll be held responsible!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday 3rd August
THE DAY! Woot! Thought I had recovered from my sickness, fever kinda gone, throat no longer sore. But why does my nose feeling all wet and itchy! *ARGH* Sore throat's gone... flu attack next!! Oh well...
Jien organised a dinner party for me and J-Ann, who has the same birthday with me too and we're of the same age! It was a good thing someone is willing to organise on our behalf, I was so sick the whole week I couldn't even call up plp or organise anything.
J-Ann + Me "3rd of August babies roxx"
Oh really like to thank Slinky and the rest for buying the cake for me! I really wasn't expecting anything! Cake was Yum YUm btw! =D
It's HOMER! Who J-Ann thought it was Bart Simpson instead =p
Mmm Bday wishes. "I wish..."
J-Ann's friends
Mah gang ;)
Despite my 'difficulties' to celebrate appropriately... Those 3 days had given me the opportunity to thank God for everything he has provided me with: Supportive friends and a loving family. All of you have made my week and another memorable year as well! Thanks!

Falls Creek 25-27 July 2008
To my readers: Sorry for the lack of updates. Been really sick for bout 2 weeks. So be patient yea. Lots of new post coming up soon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday 24th July,left home to Huntingdale station (just a station away from Clayton Station and is Zone 1 instead of Zone 2 in Clayton). Thank goodness I manage to pack in time, think I just took the last city bound train from my Pakenham line.
Pretty scary though being alone in the train station.
Met up at Slinky place before departing into separate buses, there were two tour groups for this trip. The Yuhan Teoh's and Deric's group. Me, Tracy and Natalie were on Yuhan's. Meet up again at Melbourne's Uni bus stop for our transport. Left Melbourne at 1:30am sharp.
Journey took around 7 hours in total. We did stop by at a rest-stop for toilet break and a quick Mcker's meal. We stopped at a bakery at abour 6am for breakfast. Very essential meal as I didn't manage to sleep much on the bus and found out we would be hitting the snow right after we check-in and get our gears. So energy to stay warm, energy to snowboard the rest of the day and to stay awake is a must.
At about 9 or 9:30am, we've finally reached Falls Creek. Mmmm... haven't seen, touched or smelled snow for a long time.
Clear blue skies =)
Our lodge
The shop we get buy/rent our ski/snowboarding gears
My Snowboard! Cowabanga!
After almost of an hour of preperation. We're ready to ride!!
Tracy, Nat, Wilson and JC
Woot I'm ready...or not
Since it was my first time snowboarding (I skied the last time), is of course very very wise to take up Lesson 1!
*BleH* Who needs lessons!?
Well after a hard 1 hour lesson... we deserve our lunch break and some "golden" reward! "Cheers!!"
J and Wilson... the last time I saw them b4 all of us got separated. Reason? Well I'm really sleep deprive... even lunch and breakfast can't help =( So I was really slowing down the group I was with at first. Natalie couldn't go on cause she kinda strained her ankle during training.
Luckily met up with Pei Lin, our pace are not that far apart. So both of us with her housemate snowboarded together.
Wombat's Rumble, not an easy trail as it's very very narrow... and it has a beginner's rating!
Once headed back to my lodge, I just bathed, changed, eat, and sleep. -_-
Day 2
Didn't take any pictures the next day. Think is best not to bring my camera along. I've felt so many times the day before. So it wouldn't be advisable to bring along anything fragile with me. I had to rent a pair of Wrist-guard before I went and snowboard again. Had a bad fall the previous day and I almost thought I broke my wrist on that fall. Plus my butt really hurts,so I planned to fall with my wrist instead of my back.
Me and Ivan decided to take the level 2 lessons while the others went on snowboarding. Both of us realised we fall alot cause we got no idea how to do S-Turns and stop. Lessons were good, really learn lots. We were snowboarding like pros after that. Sadly... only for 1 run down Wombat's Rumble, but it was a good run!
At night, was at Slinky's room for our drinking session together with Jin Yin, Deric, Ivan, CinVin, Mei, Valerie & Chi. Made my self-made Nachos (thanks to Yu Wei Sifu). Oh bout midnight... it SNOWED! Haha tell the truth this is only my second time witnessing snow fall.
Day 3
Ah... Sadly our last day in Falls Creek. We were so tempted to snowboard just for awhile as the snow are sooo soft and fresh!
On our way up for lunch at The Village!! (Remember that M.Night S. movie?
Mei, Nat & Slinky
Me, Tracy & Pei Lin
Lunch! These meal is our first proper meal after 2 days!
After lunch... is snowball-war time!
Valerie: MMmm Ice-Batu-Kacang!
Chi: Think we can put it to better use...
Ivan: *grin*
That's all I got to share... U can expect the ending: On the bus - Sleep - Same McKer's stop for lunch - Sleep - Home.
Damn! Feel like following Valerie the following weekend to continue snowboarding! I'm ADDICTED!
