I have done it!


No longer just a walker. I am a driver now! My mum must be so proud of me, she must have wanted me to drive her around for so long. I am really happy also as it was one of my goal to get the licence this year. Went to golden circle to get some juice for the coming church camp from 15-18 Dec. Hope that it is going to be fun. My summer sem is not that bad, I have a nice and gentle supervisor. My life is shaping up reall nicely here and so are my fats. I'm getting back to my usual self again I guess. Starting to cook a lot more and enjoying myself more. I guess the AUS$3 Pandan leaves does miracle to me. I cooked nasi lemak and chicken rice in just one week. I just love what i cook. More food for the coming week, just stay tune.

New name for my place "Hostel 29"




Alan was saying, do you feel weird the next day after a exam paper. I must admit, there is time when I felt that way, but today, after my last paper, I felt empty. Seems like I have nothing to aim at now. Just praying that I will pass. In the emptiness, there is still heaps of things coming up for me. Going for a volunteer work at Straddie only on 24-25 Nov. I'm so sure I'm going to love it. In the mean time, more driving to do and the test date is confirm to be on 8 Dec 06. Wish me luck. One more sem to go!!

The November Rain is here



I always love November, not because it's the time for exams and the holidays after that. But it's because it's the month of my Birthday!!! It's also my Mum's brithday. Today my youth group gathered together and celebrated the Nov babies. Jess, Joyce and me. We were trying to kill the cake.

I'm still mugging on my notes for Organic Chemistry. Which I really have no idea about. This is really bad. Exams coming so soon yet so many things yet to be done. Will try to update more in the coming weeks. I'm sure once the exams are over, I will have more things to blog about.

Skills from my student leader days are back in use again. Recently helping out in a new youth group call Unique, it's a HK student based and they all speak canto. I'm there to add the fun element into the group. Been really fun to be able to help out Pastor Shek and also to use my game skills. Really hope that I will do a good job here and learn as much from Pastor and one day I can lead a group myself back in Singapore.

Mum, I love you.

Do you live to eat or eat to live?



I always end up talking to my friend about food as the topic. As most of my friends are from different countries, they have never really tried good Singapore food, like nasi lemak, the veg mee from the above picture, laska and many more. Food is one of my weakness, I'm trying to loss weight and be more active after the gathering at youth group. Cooking has never been the same from this week onwards. Heaps of fruits and veg, I will have to love on them for today onwards. Oh, as the mid semester vacation is coming, and also because of the flower festival, the youth group will be heading down to Toowoomba this sat. Will be enjoying my weekend and also looking forward to my Straddie trip.

"Crikey!"






No one does it better than you. We will miss you Steve Irwin. . .

Tired. . .



Never felt this tired before. But the funny thing is, I'm feeling more alive. I guess learning is tired, be it in the Uni, life, my christian life and driving. Learning is fun and at times, it's serious. But at the end of the day, it's about me learning something new in life and that is tiring. Life is short, LEARN FAST.

E is for EKKA I just LOVE HIM!!!!!! MR T.

EKKA is going to be the topic, this coming week. For people in Brisbane at least. EKKA's a big fun fair, with rides, food stalls, dog show, show bags stall and also show animals, like show cows. Me together with Jon, Jessica, Simmy, Shinwei and Cheryl went there really early, we were at the gates at about 10ish I think, the Q wasn't that long and we get our tickets real quickly. First off, we head to see the rides, games and the food stalls. There was a number of rides and Jesscia, Shinwei and Cheryl just wanted to have a go at the rides and they took the space roller. I am just happy to be on land itself. But I'm sure they enjoyed themselves.

Anyway, there is a site on the right of this blog that will have a link to the pictures i took at EKKA. This week will be really busy, work to be done, 4 labs coming up, going clubbing and there is a bible leadership camp coming up this weekend. Man... Just hope things will be good and well for me this week.

F is for FRIDAY

If you are going to believe what I'm going to say. I'm having fun, eating well and getting fat. But seriously, all is good, I completed my set of Air Rifts now, they are all in Brisbane now, all 4 pairs, red, pink, black and red. Was talking to my friends about it, have set different color but same model shoe. They all think I'm weird. Oh, today is Friday and it is the only day that I have 2 hrs of class. Trying to understand most of the classes and really have to work hard this semester.

A picture says a thousand words.

GOOD DAY!!!

The holidays almost over and what have you guys been up to? For those who are on holidays. Sorry for not been writing for the past month. Really enjoyed the July holidays. Went Moreton Island camping, saw wild dolphin feeding, went to Lamington National Park with my youth group and will be on a trip for Whale watching on the 29 July with CCM from UQ. I manage to pass my first semester. Give thanks to god.

The purpose of writing this blog today, is a way to announce the ghost of the past is over and I am going to start anew soon. Was out with Joyce at the Brisbane Festival (thanks Viv for the Tickets). The music was really good. And I was thinking about my life when I was listening to their meaningful songs. Then I thought about everything, good or bad, that happen. It's time I really move on. I always believe nothings too hard or too difficult in life. The main line for today, there's nothing left of her in me, only fingerprints in my room.

Today's saturday!!!


2 paper down and 2 more to go. World Cup started and I miss watching it with my guys and talking about it and BUY score with the SINGAPORE pools. Rock on Guys, it's the last leg of my race for this semster. I'll be back

tim

Did I just run out of AIR???



The pool is not like the ocean. I will not feel the same even with my scuba gear. The thing is nothing change, but the enviroment. Is the enviroment so important?

How much more bottom time do I have?



It is not the time to surface yet.

X-men Vs Learner's Driving!!!!




Where was the last stand? With two X-men dead and one of them changing back to human for love, there really isn't a last stand. The story line was a little crappy about the whole movie was good. The effect and stuff.

A couple of first time in my life happened today. First movie I watch at AMC at Sunnybank Plaza and also the first X-men movie i did watch in a cinema, YES, I watched the first two X-men movie at home from the DVD. Another first, I went driving today!! Yes, the victim ,May, with a red Toyota Collora.

I must say, you need a brave soul to teach me how to drive after I told her about my way of thinking about driving. THanks May for helping me on this new skill that will last a life time. Don't worry about you not been a good teacher, I'm sure you will teach me what you know. Hope to try my hands on driving again. Rock ON....

Still ALIVE!!!


Yes, I'm back and pretty much still alive!! Not forgetting that I shaved my head for the Leukaemia Foundation in surport of the world's greatest SHAVE. I'm not in the pic and I will not be posting my new hairstyle here. :) That was on the 6 of May and that night, I went to Stas Brithday Party dressed as a Doc and Vivian dressed up as a CAt. Here's the evidence.

That sum up my first week of May. THe second week is pretty much assignment and lab report. How time flies. I will be having my exams NEXT MONTH@@@!!! After much planning and promises, I'm not flying out of Australia this July holidays. So my plan of heading home and to France is off the chart. I guess this will be a good time to get to know friends here and a little more about myself.

It's getting colder as I speak and I have yet to get a heater for myself! Really soon, I will have to get one from K-mart. Ok, this is just off my head. Have you ever listen to a song and you think it's like your life? I just get one song that pretty much sum up for relationship. SOng (So Sick) by Ne-Yo.

This is the part

Gotta fix that calender I have
That's marked July 15th <---------(This is my anniversary)
Because since there's no more you
There's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you
And your memory
And how every song reminds me
Of what used to be

The cold is here



TOday's labour day!! This will be the last holiday for a while.I reckon the next hoilday will be Christmas. The above pic is the place that Cuc wanted to try. It's Authentic Indo Food. She ordered coconut rice with Redang beef and I ordered curry chicken with steam rice. Overall the company was good and so was the food. I sent her home after as it was need Uni. That was Thursday, the only other day that she don't have to work. We promise for dinner again sometime next week where she will buy me dinner. Oh for those that do not know, most of the restaurants are at Hawken Drive, a 300m or less walk away from the Uni that serves Jap, Indo, Thai food, just to name a few.

Friday was coffee night with the youth group friends at 3 monkeys. We played a few games that really needed us to use our brain juice. I had tea, and Vivian and I shared a pizza. The rest of the group had coffee that comes in a bowl and there was mud cake! I did burn a hole for my bank account for last month. Now, it's back to basic, home cook food!

Sat = Gym in the morning then rot at home! Vivian called and ask if I want to join her for church tomorrow as she's not going for the Cantonese session.

Then came Sunday. Church was good as usual, now i think i'm the offical projector operator. Everytime I'm in church i will be my duty to do that. Not saying I'm not happy doing it or it's a BIG duty, it's a job that I'm not even sure I will do well anot. I know, it's jsut a projector and click click with the slides, how hard can it be. I always tell myself that but having the whole church looking at the screen and me doing it wrongly. I don't know. I just hope that i can do a better job the next time I do it. The tea fellowship after the service is always something that I look forward to everytime. Asian FOOD!!! After that, Vivian and I headed back home, no where to go because of my work at noon. The weather was all good until the final hr of my shift, it rained. The rain was not that cold until i was totally wet did i feel the cold! Man, I must say, this was the time that i wish i was not in the rain. In the rain and having to see the soccer ball. That was hard. Luckily, it stopped after 15mins. That was about time for me to stop work too. I just headed back home for a warm shower. That's like for my whole sunday, oh and I watched MI 2 on TV.

To end this off, Happy Birthday MAY!

Holis over and so is the pain in my ankle

The mid term break came and go and with assignments still due, I better start to do some catch up. First day of school after a week of rest was a little too much of rest to me i think. Wake up at 0720 when my class start at 0800 is not really a good way to start a monday. That aside, I went to NOosa heads on MOnday over the break and klub kandy on tues to club. Overall the holiday was not that bad or as fun as I wanted it to be. At least I get my learners and I can start to drive from now on.

Oh not forgetting that I met Cuc for a good Jap dinner over at Hawken and there's plan for more dinner meet up. Which I think would be a good way to know her. Chat over dinner. Dinner here is really good food. After which we still head over to one of the stalls for DEEP fried chicken wings.

Just to end this, Happy Birthday MArie!

The pain is here




I sprained my ankle again. The worse part is that it's the OP ankle! Big as a pig leg even after 4 days of rest. 1/3 of my ankle is in the state of blue and black. I did not go to work on Sunday but I went to church. Church as always, it was good and Vivian is always so nice to offer me a lift. Going to the church is never easy. I don't think you can take a bus to the doorsteps. Driving to church seems to be the only way. Went to Sunnybank for lunch with the youth group. Had Chicken RiCe. I miss mum's chicken rice and chilli so much more after eating. : ) I'm going to cook curry tonight and will be eating with Nicole. I guess I have to take a pic together with her to show you guys who is Nicole. She's my housemate plus gossip buddy. I'm so glad that I have her as my housemate. She is funny and someone that I can talk to.
Have been talking to Mum and our topic are always about food. Just miss all the Singapore food so much. But after talking to Ash then I realise, here is not that bad compare to France. I can easily get Chinese food but Ash have to get it only from China town.

Part of me wants to rest, part of me wants to work, part of me wants to pray, part of me wants to love, part of me wants to hate, part of me wants to sing, part of me wants to cry, part of me wants to laugh, part of me wants to RUN, part of me wants to crawl. All the above is just me and I just have to search the real me our of the all this trash to live a life that I will enjoy and live like how i use to live.

The day that I get full marks!!



Thank you guys for the great time.

Yup, I get back my assignment and i get full mark! I reckon most of us get full marks, but it's really been a long time since I last get full marks. :) And my Pre- lab get full marks too. Today is one of the better days in my Uni life after so long. Friday, was suppose to cook at Fiona's place then last minute, we all wanted to go out for late night shopping but ended up at a pub drinking and having a good time. That was really fun until I get to Fiona's place and just sleep like a pig... heehee. My weekends have been about the same so far. Nothing really interesting. Home work and more how work. Anyway, going to rest after a long monday.

The BUS


I never know that taking the bus is so much FUN. On monday, I had a 0800hrs class and Nicole also needs to be in the Uni at the same time told me that we would be able to take the bus that leaves at 0741hrs. Then happily we walked the slope towards the busstop. After a few minutes, which is like 0750hrs, I knew the bus is not coming. Out of the sudden a bus rush by us which I think was 428 but the front of the bus was showing. SORRY IT'S FULL. There goes the bus and we waited and we waited and the next bus came at about 0810hrs. which is about 30minutes wait at the busstop. Just when you thought that taking bus is not fun, yesterday, straight after class, I was going to take the bus home and half way that journey, the joint of my poor little slippers broke. Then I have to keep them in my bag and take the bus bare footed and after which I have to walk home barefooted.

Then the mission started for me yesterday to get a pair of slippers. Went to Toowong Village for Gym again. K-mart is always the place for the things you need. I get myself a cheap and nice pair of slippers I think. :) Nothing much happen today, which I think is good. No news = good news.

Church on Sunday


It's a new day. Sunday is always fun, cause it's for church and time for work. Went to church with Vivian and it was nice and simple like AMKPC. After the service, we still tea session which was pretty good as there was a lot of asian food. And I miss all of them.

Then we rush back home, as Vivian have to get back to school at noon and also I have to work at noon too. Lucky, my work place is like 5-10 mins of walk. After work I came back home and was so tired. Been having short naps for the past week.

Get to talk to mum and Ash. And here I am now doing my lab work and things to hand in tomorrow. Yup, I had a new hair cut. I will write til here.

Time flies


Toowong Shopping Mall = Gym sessions!


How time flies, so little time so much to do. Hi guys how's things? I'm still recovering from everything. Been to gym a few times for the past few days. Yes, I'm still listening to Pete Murray's song. heehee. I just talk to her yesterday again. I really don't know what's right to do. But I know there's nothing right or wrong to do in life. It only depends on the person. The bottomline is I still care a lot. Even as friends.

There's so so many things in my life how i wish he could join me. And see me do it. I know I have never treat him well when his around and i'm regreting my life so much now. THat's why I'm loving my mum so much more. I care, I love, I hug, I give, I think, I'm kind and of all the above, I'm Tim. I still cry alone. I have cry so much alone this past weeks then I did for the last 3 years. I miss my MUM, ASH, SEB and SHARON! They are all family!


I love you guys and because of all you guys, I will BE Strong!

The song that goes on


I am listening to Pete Murray's Opportunity (Been playing a little over 24hours now)

Nobody say that living is easy. But seriously, how hard can it get? No money? Your love one left you? Fail in Exams? There is just so many things in life that will make it so hard to live on a life that is going so wrong at times. This is the time which I always wish that will never happen to me. Alone, scared, so afraid. I try to the almighty Lord. Thank God that Vivian and family have been so kind and nice to me in this rough time. Letting go is hard but once I do it, I know I will be a better person anytime after that.

Yup, I went to CyberCity with Victor again for dinner on thurday. I did not take any picture. The food was salty and not nice. But I'm sure that the next time I go, I will get mee and not rice.

Friday was really fun, the youth group had a coffee session at Jessica's place, and we play pictionary. Here's some pictures for you guys. Oh, me, vivian, rachael and joyce went for dinner at SunnyBanks. We went to the Malaya Corner.

Saturday, I went back to Uni to do up one of the course and it took me almost the whole day. After which I came back in the late afternoon and went with Vivian to Becc and Angela's place for cell group. As usual, the words were good and I'm understanding more of the bible.

Sunday, been so tired start the day early. I went to church with vivian. I'm just so sleepy now and I'm having problem with the pictures. So sorry. will post them up at my next blog.

Was so tired from yesterday's night of floorball. That's why I'm writing for yesterday too. Cause I was sleeping even before I knew it. Anyway, here are some pics. There is this dinner place, floorball pics and a Lance Armstrong book which I bought at the market place in Uni.




Today was not that bad. Classes were good. I also met up Joseph and he pass me the gatsby hair clay. OH, Cuc, my Vietnamese friend pass me this book about break up. It was so funny as it was meant for girls. Yes guys, I'm feeling so gay noW!



I also went to the mall to get a calculator. And now here I am still tired and sleepy. But I will be enjoying dinner with Victor again at CyberCITY later. Will take some pics and post it up tomorrow if I can. Lastly, thanks guys! (Sky, Qing Wei, Ernest, Marie, Fiona, Sandra, Nicole and lots of you guys that help me. Here's a BIG THANKS YOU to you guys. You guys are the GREATEST!!!

Question of the day. What do you think of the pic above. Is it my breakfast or just a snack? I'm talking to Sky now. Yes, it's all crap again. Really miss talking to him. Same old shit we are talking about again. Lesson of the day, my licence is back and I'm flying again!! Be careful gals. Anyway, had bio lesson today and I was just sleeping away. Hopefully the lessons will get better and more interesting next time. Yes guys I'm still thinking of the whole thing that just happen in my life. But I know that life goes on and people are praying for me. So have a good nite rest and hope to write soon.

Friends! I have lots of friends in my life. Really! Close friends? You asking me!? After going through this difficult time, I really see my true friends. But it also show me that not all friends are true friends. It's time like this that i reconsider my friendship with people. Come on, I have the right to choice my friends right. But who am I to judge a friend? Just think about the time I was with HER, I did not catch up much with my friends. And after all this, I realise I can still be close to my friends back from my poly days. I'm sure that you guys will support me as much as I will support you. If you are reading this, why not take a moment in life, and think who are the friends you did miss out for the past half a year. Give them a call or even an e-mail. What's best then to have a gathering. Just rememeber your friends. Cause as time goes by, they will be the one sticking with you. Thank you friends for all your help and time ( chatting with me on skype ). Yes, I
'm feeling better now after talking cock with you guys. I will always miss you and I will always pray for you guys.

Hi guys. As you may have know, I'm not a writer at all. So if you really find this site boring just give me a call, and I hope that by talking to you. Will make you feel more entertained. Cause I'm really a talker and not that much of a writer.
First of all, why i want to have a blog
- Improve my English!
- Write down what i feel about life
- Update people without sending them E-mails
- Just a place to let my little mind feel at ease
- Lastly, it's a new start to my new life.
