What is sleep when tiredness is all you feel?

What is money when you can't buy happiness and time?

What is education when you can never finish learning?

What is a job when it can't take you out of poverty?

What is a dream when you can never realize it?

What is the point of being second when no one ever remembers?

What is power when you can't earn respect?

What is love when you can't find someone to give your heart to?

What is life when it's the beginning of an end?

What is everything when you have nothing?

What am I...

if...

I don't have you?

It's strange that I've been running quite often for the last few months.

Well...sometimes when you run, it seems like there's nothing that will be on your mind.

Perhaps that is why they call it "running away from your troubles"...

[[Back from Tioman]]

I am now a qualified basic open water scuba diver!

Anyway, scuba diving is pretty fun. And Tioman is a pretty nice island.

I have to say I had some apprehensions before the trip. Could still remember struggling a little during the practical lessons at the swimming pool the week before.

But once in the open waters, everything just seemed to flow. It wasn't as difficult I thought it would be. And really, the world beneath these waters can be pretty amazing.

Marine life is simply fascinating! It's like watching Nat Geo right in front of your eyes, and you can almost touch everything!

It's a little pity that quite a few corals were already dead. Doesn't help when too many people dive at the same place. Hopefully, the waters will not be damaged further.

I especially like the sea anemone and the clown fish! Damn cute, can? You can place your palm about 10 centimetres away from the sea anemone (can't touch because it's poisonous) and sway left and right and watch the sea anemone move and the clown fish inside of it. Wah...really adorable! No wonder they chose Nemo to be a clown fish.

The sucker fish was also very cute! It looks like a mini-me shark, and sticks on to the oxygen tanks to feed off the dirt (or whatever) that's on the tanks. Kinda looks like it's hitching a ride, but actually it is not. There was one that swam past me and brushed against my cheek. Haha...took me by a little surprise.

There are a whole lot of other nice fishies swimming around. They seem quite nonchalant about the presence of humans in the water. I guess they have seem humans so often that they think nothing of us.

The biggest regret was not being able to find a sea turtle. Really wished I could see a Squirt-lookalike. But at least I managed to catch sight of a small stingray, which not many did. The way it swims around is damn cute too!

I thought I got much more than I expected out of this trip. The things that I saw, the experiences that I went through. Even the sights of the natives on the island and the villages and towns that our bus went past. Everything sets me thinking a lot.

Once in a while, it is really great to take a break, go far away from this hectic city life, and look at how people live their lives in other parts of the world. The smiles painted on their faces whenever they greet you, it can be so endearing.

And yeah, there are moments in this life when sometimes...just sometimes, you wish that the moment will last you very,very long...

[[Happy Birthday to ME!]]

I am 23!

Shit...I feel so old already.

Anyway, I don't seem to remember celebrating my birthday with so many people spread over so many days before.

Many thanks to my colleagues for the present! I absolutely dig Takashima vouchers! So many things that can be bought, and they have no expiry date! The mango cake from Secret Recipe was pretty good too!

Many thanks to my dearest mei, Peishan, Jinglin and Pearlie for having dinner at VivoCity on Thursday! The food was good, but it wasn't really about the food. The gathering was more important, ya?

How can I ever forget my best buddies from NHSS? Kenny, Yukun, Defang, Jiantong, Ann Ming, Geraldine, Sheena and Yingxin. And also the non-NHSS buddies, Wilfred, Sean and Dennis. You guys were fabulous! Everytime we go drinking, all of us should go together! Though I think all of us drank too much on Friday night. It's bad for health leh. But nonetheless, it was absolutely enjoyable and memorable! The next birthday is our dear Mr Shi Yukun. You better watch out!!

Last night's dinner at Bukit Batok wasn't that bad too. I can't remember when there were 9 of us who went out to eat zhi char together. Maybe we should not drink often and instead eat zhi char together! Hehz. *grinz*

The birthday itself, well, sadly I had to do project. Seems like I can never escape from any kind of form on my actual birthday. But it's quite alright though, because I rarely celebrate my birthdays. I mean, it's just a day to remind yourself you just got a year older.

But at least I was doing my project with Lirong and Wan Jun. Two great ladies. So it wasn't all too bad. And many many thanks to Miss Wan Jun for having dinner with me just now. Don't worry, carrying your lappie and accompanying you to shop wasn't a chore. *winkz*

And also to everyone who SMS-ed me or MSN-ed me, many thanks for all your birthday wishes!!

2008 is certainly beginning to become very memorable. *sMiLeZ*

Funny...this analogy of drifting along in the sea and docking at the harbour.

I never quite understand how some of the people around me chose or are choosing to dock at the harbour while days are still pretty much early.

Afterall, it ain't that bad drifting a little out at sea for a while longer, right? To see more of the passing ships, ride a few more waves...

But come to think of it, there's nothing too bad about docking at the harbour too. Safe from the sharks, attacks from pirates, and almost impossible to capsize.

Well, it's not that I really love to be out drifting in the sea. But you have to be damn sure of which harbour you wanna dock at. And it's not as if harbours don't have the option to turn you away.

Maybe it has always been my secret desire to dock at one. Just maybe...

Gotta sleep.

Ciaoz.
