Hi, i'm back...
Decided to start blogging again due to popul..... nah.. just constant nagging from a friend..
Well.. let's see .. what have I been up to since May 06... well..sailed away, only to return prematurely due to a torned ligament. Performed at a SOKA function..almost convert to Buddhism. Met up with friends i've not seen since 1999. Made new friends.Found out that not all Aussie guys are adventurous and addicted to beer. Found a close friend admist an aussie guy, sentosa, novena, iced tea and lightsabres. Went back to the ship. Started this whole seafood dining in East M'sia. Picked up mandarin. Came back, met up with a close friend, spent almost the whole of dec with her. Lost another friend ( was worth it if u asked me). Went to bangkok. Rekindled my feelings for somebody. Got shot down again. Almost got blown up admist the bombings. Came back. Started gyming... lost quite a bit. Finally started my porject ( see entry Sept 22nd, Thurs 2005 ) . Made another friend whos a lil more special then i would like to give credit for. Sunk into depression.. picked myself up.. sunk back again... oh well. Discovered that i have a tendency to push people who care away from me. Changed for the better. Trying to look into a better light. oh... and the depression swings are still around. hahaha
Don't worry, i won't bite. ... i think.
I guess the whole point is this. I've resigned to my life not being a bed of roses. Sure u can say that's the whole basis of life... not being a bed of roses. But i feel that life is how you and YOU make out of it. Whether or not you want to or not. And not hide behind what society dictates cos even society does not know the source of making our lives so god damn miserable.
Getting people to understand that is different story altogether.
I'm not gonna say anymore that my friends and avid readers ( yes, all 5 of you ) don't already know. But i'll leave u on this note or rather, affirmation.
You know who u are,
Meeting all of you , standing by me when i'm pushing you all away speaks in volumes no one could comprehand. I like to extend eternal gratitude and love to all of you. You all are the light to my never ending tunnel of misery ( some call it 'life" ) . Although it may be a light glimmer that would probably luminate a few steps ahead of me. It's still love.
I mean it when i say that i love you all.
You guys will always be in my heart as long as there is one.
Robin.
I like to leave you with a lyric of a song i wrote. It was initially for an encounter with two of my old buddies. but i guess it's just an affirmation to all who care.
To, Daphanie, Cindy, Lucus, Crystal, Amanda, Chris, Melvin, Duane, Irene, Marvin, Mervyn, Daryl, Randolf, Fuzz, Willy, Wei Jin, Mandy, Melda, Jolene and last but not least Germaine.
.... i put your name last cos i gave u alot of shit lah.. so hence a lil attention... hhahhaha
All Good.
ALL GOOD
I just want to feel the rain
Oh..
All these memories are fading again….
So what am I gonna do?
To take me away with you.
Sweet ,
As a sugar rush from within
Smile
Cos you bring the warmth of the sun
We can dance until it’s Tuesday
We can laugh until it’s Wednesday YEAH!!!
We can fly right thru it’s Thursday
Friday
Saturday is gone
I’ll be waiting for
Soon,
Will the clouds drift into the dunes ( it’s all good, all good, all good )
As it looms
Into our world, our very own.
We can dance until it’s Tuesday
We can laugh until it’s Wednesday YEAH!!!
We can fly right thru it’s Thursday
Friday
Saturday is gone
I’ll be waiting
Cos the feeling’s strong
Oh,
There’s a another place
Where it’ll be good enough
Yeah!
When the time has come
We will relive it all
thanks and i love you all from the bottom of my heart

Just got off a chat with a well, old and rarely seen friend.
She was complainin bout being erm.. alone here eversince she came back from melb.
I guess thats what company in your late 20's are like.
People move on.. they come and go..
But it's the least likeliest ones,
the ones whom u'd expect to forget who u are
stay.
I guess we should just move on and well, give them a lift if they wave.
I think we've all lost that sense of loving one's self.
you know, being in that moment where only you yourself can appreciate.
..... no i'm not talking about masturbation!!!
music for the moment - Call me when you get this > Corrine Bailey RaeBilmey! Coincidence sial!!

I begin to worry about my future.
Seriously, beginning to worry bout my future.
All that affected me in the past will come to light
If only i hadn't let it consume me
no no, this is not some psuedo haiku.

now, thats one song that will never fail to put a smile on my fat face............Nothing sounds as good as "I Remember That"
Like a bolt out from the blue, did you feel it too ?
I remember that
Name me one little thing, you'll be wanting to keep
As you give up the ghost as you sink into sleep
Maybe her face in the morning, maybe his in the evening
Maybe words never spoken, aren't they the ones worth hearing ?
Say I remember that
Nothing sounds as good as "I Remember That"
Like a bolt out from the blue, did you feel it too ?
I remember that
Nothing sounds as good as "I Remember That"
Like a bolt out from the blue, did you feel it too ?
I remember that
Cos that's all we can have, yes it's all we can trust
It's a hell of a ride but a journey to dust
And there's nothing pathetic listing clothes she'd wear
If it proves that I had you, if it proves I was there
Say I remember that
Nothing sounds as good as "I Remember That"
Like a bolt out from the blue, did you feel it too ?
I remember that
Nothing sounds as good as "I Remember That"
Like a bolt out from the blue, did you feel it too ?
I remember that
Did you feel it too ?... I remember that
Did you feel it too ?... I remember that...

"To the people on the streets
To the baby fast asleep
To the lovers walking on the beach
To the seekers who believe
to be loved
to be held
to be loved
to be held"

PopTart.
At first, i thought it was a really good idea. Jumping up and down like monkeys on speed to songs we loved ( and still do ! ) back when we were in school. Songs we never imagined, would be aired to the demographic unlike the confines on our bedrooms and local gigs o'er the amphitheatre or te substation.
But alas ( now, i'm not trying to exude bitterness or " cool" persona), it'
s starting to bore the bejesus outta me. I guess their biggest downfall will ( future tense mind you ) be the fact that they keep exploiting the whole concept and flaunt it at any and every event possible. I 'm more inclined to believe that so as long as one of their Djs are around ....why not?
It's like a franchise if u ask me. Looked what happened to Mac Donalds , The Bodyshop and even KFC!!! Remember those times at KFC where we were served with proper cutleries and breakable plates? Where the chicken pieces were larger or rather, unlike the kampong chickens they're using now... and Pizza Hut.... mannnnnnnnnn don't get me started on that.
I'd actually gave up on fast food cos of that ....
Ok, i'm really getting out of point here.
Back to Poptart. Like i said, good idea, great event. But, theres only so much we can take. I mean, we can have our most favourite food every other day yah?
So, to the organizers of poptart, Please....PLEASE!!! Limited the experience to only once a month. It's going towards MAMBO night at zouk although i hope we won't catch bengs and lians synchronising their dance steps to The Smith's " Panic"
Hang the Dj indeed.
Peace,
A very concern and a huge fan of Poptart

U called me just when i left the country........
talk about bad timing man.........
anyways, lets just see what happens lah.
funny how conversations and predictions with your head can be so funky. but i digress.
It's been a couple of days since i left the country to bring food onto the table. Do feel a little homesick. Especially where everything have been going pretty well... musically that is.
Just heard from Marvin that Camra will be featured on "Life". They meeting for an interview tonight.
Liked i said. Just when things are happening. heh.
Gonna give this whole sailing brauhaha till 2007.
After that, i'm gonna be blissfully grounded. heh.
