Three years. I guess now's a good a time as any. Well, don't expect any long drawn out stories. Not for now. I'm tired. Not of writing. I still enjoy it. But I think I spend too much energy doing it to make a living. For now, this is a journey. Back to where it ended. And right now, it's where it begins. Daniel died. And nothing's been the same. I've only visited his niche a handful of Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-44008333282870424792008-10-24T10:43:00.004+08:002008-10-24T18:07:27.295+08:00     "Daniel died man." I still remember those three words clearly when Darren called to tell me the news that Friday morning. I can't exactly recall what happened next, but I vaguely remember going on a barrage of insults. That's when I called his fiancee Lavina. So yeah, he really was dead, and here I was, crying my ass off in the middle of CityLink Mall.     It's been four weeks to the day.

I just attended my friend's wake this morning (Friday to be more exact). He was someone I worked with closely when I was a medic in Pulau Tekong, during my stint in National Service (NS). We were in the same batch, and went through a fuckload of shit together. I can't even begin to start, but it helps that a common enemy brought all of us closer.

A quick post here, but rest assured, another will come, with plenty of updates. This is one I felt was quite necessary. People always talk about how much they love someone, and I felt I'd do the same. Taking a slightly (but not very unique I think) approach to it, by saying how I feel if that certain someone were to leave instead, with a Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-26508412487469694032008-03-09T22:19:00.005+08:002008-03-10T01:18:27.580+08:00     Well now, to say that it's been a while would be quite the understatement eh? Jesus, was that last post really all the way back in September last year? Suffice to say, quite a lot has happened. Oh yes, I know how you children have suffered in my absence, but have no fear, Big Daddy G will explain it all in due time. I'll see how far I get in this post first...     I forgot to mention Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-13870668845319655732007-09-13T16:21:00.000+08:002007-09-16T19:28:19.406+08:00     Just a quick one right now, as I power (actually, more like crawl) through my Advertising post-assignment. Denise (thank you baby) bought me what potentially looks like a fantastic read, Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman. It also features a really sweet cover illustrated by the incredible Bryan Hitch, who, with Warren Ellis, created The Authority, one of the most amazing superheroGenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-43360543777547752712007-06-25T21:45:00.001+08:002007-06-25T22:04:39.306+08:00     Oh no, sorry to get your hopes up boys and girls, but this isn't you standard update. Instead, taking a page out of my baby's blog (and I quote), "Sometimes the best solution to the biggest problems is the simplest answer." It's amazing how a simple, sincere hug can go a long way, and I think a lot of us have taken that for granted. This post will be a display of firsts.

All that matters is that my cute Chinese butt is back here in Singapore typing. And the world rejoiced :)     I've been back over a week now, but before I get started, I remember when I heard about the shocking news of Wayne "Thunder" Seah passing away in his sleep on on the 21st of May.

Why? This conversation I had with him earlier about my parents particulars for a travel and health insurance plan for my trip will explain :)Laurence: Okay, I need your mother's full name.Me: Oh, it's Julie Susanto.

I won't finish off my December update for last year just yet (and yes, I can hear all of your eyes rolling). Instead, I'll tell you what I'm doing right now. Why? I'll get to that soon :)     Right now, I am painstakingly ripping my CDs. Not for any illegal purposes (perish the thought).

Is this a new record? Well, to start, a Happy (albeit belated) New Year to everone. I would think an excuse would be appropriate, but I don't have much of one. I have a metaphor though (kinda). It's like an ashtray my friend had, which said at the bottom "I'll Quit Smoking Tomorrow". I may as well have had the words in bold on my desktop wallpaper saying "I'll Update My Blog Tomorrow"Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-17656192914403724682006-11-17T20:30:00.000+08:002007-01-03T14:50:43.074+08:00     Before I continue with the final chapter in my trip to Tokyo, I'd like to take a moment and point out that today, on November 17, 2006, Jeff Buckley would've turned 40, if not for the tragic drowning accident in Memphis on May 29, 1997. For those who would like to do something to commemorate his life, make a Golden Promise in your life, and celebrate Jeff :) He has been, and will always be Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-47280691473988453342006-11-14T16:32:00.000+08:002006-11-14T18:30:38.361+08:00     Yes yes, I'm quite aware of how late I am. A variety of parties, insane projects, and work (yes, that's right, I'm working) got in the way. And now, without further adieu :)Day 3 (June 20, 2006)     Okay, we overslept, but sweet God it had been a long day yesterday. Think it was around 11 that we finally dragged ourselves out of bed. We realised that we had to make up for lost time.

I took a hot shower while wondering about where we were going to be brought for our dinner. Another bus brought us back into Roppongi, where we were told our restaurant would be. Stepping out of the bus, we were greeted by the sight of what looked like a very traditional Japanese inn.

I flung open the curtains to a great bright view, and a variety of cursing from Denise, who isn't very fond of bright light that early in the morning :) After the glorious morning rituals (a warm toilet seat in a Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-1152878744294785582006-07-14T17:27:00.000+08:002006-11-14T16:07:27.979+08:00     Well now, here it is. Granted, I might be a wee late, but I had a project to deal with. And after that, I had the following celebrations to recover from :) So, the vague details of my Tokyo Escapade :)Day 1 (June 18, 2006)     Well, it wasn't much of a day. I remember having to drag my ass out of the house at around 5am, since the flight was at 7am. Touched down at Narita Airport at 3:15pm.

So it's been more than a month, and what's been happening? A lot. Well, not really a lot. Just one thing. It's a big thing though (as many women in my sordid past will attest to :) ). Seriously though, just one major thing has happened recently, and I didn't want to talk about it earlier, 'cause I didn't want to jinx it.

And how was everyone's Christmas? Well, me first :) If you couldn't guess from my last post, yes, I had a great time. Great company, and enough alcohol. Heh, with New Year's around the corner, I'll have the liver of a 40-year old German going into 2006 at this rate :) Well now, let me go into the Christmas weekend with a little more detail.     Starting it off on Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-1135462419049820032005-12-25T06:02:00.000+08:002006-11-14T16:07:27.296+08:00     Hey everyone, MERRY FREAKIN' CHRISTMAS! No details here, except this: The song is for you, because of how crazy it's been, and how've you've stuck it through. And you know it. It's been perfect. Thank you.

I'm sure most of you reading this knew that already, but I've always found it easier starting a conversation by stating the obvious. Hey, doesn't everyone? :) Isn't it great though?

I'm picking up speed :) It's one of those "I feel like writing, but I'm not quite sure what I'll write about" nights. Well, we'll just see how it goes...     I guess I'll start off with how it's been since the last post. The birthday dinner was superb.

It's been a little over 2 months. And then some. Yeah, I'm back. Then again, I never really left. Why today? Why not? It's my birthday and I'll Blog if I want to :) Oh yes children, I'm happy to see all of you too...     Where do I begin?

That has hardly any significance on what I'm about to talk about. Just thought I'd point it out. Peculiar timing, life has eh? :)     What am I going to delve into then?

Actually, that's not true. I have a better idea these days of what I'm feeling. I understand and acknowledge them, instead of hiding them under excuses. Even Daniel had to admit that (though whether he remembers it or not depends on how much he's had to drink just now...). So stop it. At 26 years-old, I'm not a fucking child.

I've finally started my journey into the world of Mass Communications, and it's been quite exhilarating. I'll be coming home each day feeling as if my head's about to explode, and all I can think is that I've never felt this alive in ages. It's like one of those crazy roller-coaster rides. You're doing 360s and loops at break-neck speeds, coming this Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-1118946966395808712005-06-17T02:04:00.000+08:002006-11-14T16:07:26.437+08:00     This might be a bad idea, considering that I have work to worry about later (5 hours later actually, give or take...). Still, I couldn't get much sleep, and I figured this would be more productive than late night television (Well, actually, I've missed tonights episodes of "Lost" and "The O.C.", so there weren't many other options...)     So it's been a while.

Well, at least there's some form of consistency in my inconsistency :)     It's been a month. What've I been up to? So many things. Well, to start it off, I'm finally a civilian! Been released from the army for good, and now it's back to the real world.

Kudos to our guys being the first few being air-lifted out there to help the victims of the tragedy. Being half-Indonesian, and having relatives in Medan, Jakarta and Surabaya, I have to breathe out a selfish sigh of relief when IGenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-1111345733728979092005-03-21T02:30:00.000+08:002006-11-14T16:07:26.217+08:00     I'm taking this as a good sign. Not the frequency of these posts (obviously). They're rather alarming, all things considered. On no, what I meant was that with so much time that's passed, I've a lot to update you lot on. Why is this a good sign? Well, it shows I've been keeping myself busy, no? I'm doing something with myself. I'm applying myself in the best way possible. I have a life.

Heh, been busy busy busy children. My last week at work's around the corner, and here I am, making a desperate attempt to map out my future. Intimidating stuff :) I'm applying for a BACHELOR OF ARTS IN MASS COMMUNICATION (INCORPORATING ADVANCED DIPLOMA IN MASS COMMUNICATIONS). Quite a mouthful eh?

Oh yes, barely a week, and I'm back. It's been a bad week. You know it's bad when I can't be bothered to use anything more descriptive than "bad". The simplicity should be driving a stake of white hot terror into a crevice of your soul. But I'm guessing it isn't. Do tell me if it does though. I have a running bet with some friends :)      So,Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-1105377314868407842005-01-11T01:40:00.000+08:002006-11-14T16:07:25.947+08:00     Well now, surprise surprise. Heh, 3 times a charm (or something like that) I guess? I digress...      So if the previous post is anything to go by, yeah, I'm still regurgitating breakfast :) I'm just still talking 'cause I need to. I figure if I type as much as I can, something in this mass of words and lettering might actually describe perfectly what I'm trying to say (any luck yet?).

Well, nothing's taken a piss on me this week. Things are starting to look up :)      It's been quiet. Heh, all of a sudden, I'm Blogging a lot more often eh? Guess I should find more to fill the time. This is, what, the second Blog this weekend? Yeah, I'm on a roll boys and girls! TWO Blogs in a weekend. Ha! Beat that :)      I'm suddenly struck by this Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-1105127529854137082005-01-08T03:23:00.000+08:002006-11-14T16:07:25.817+08:00     Hullo everyone. Alive and kicking am I. It's 3:30 in the bloody AM (regardless what the line below stating the time that this was posted says), and I don't feel any sleepier *sighs* It's one of those days. Forgive the wet depressive blanket I'm about to throw. If it makes anyone feel better, I'll be using it to wrap myself up in it. So there :)      Heh, that's me.

Yes, I've (barely) survived both holidays :) Hope it was good for all of you too. On a side note, it's been, to the day, exactly a year since this Blog was set up. 2004 was a fast one (for me, at least). It's been eventful enough for me. Definitely better than 2003.

I've gone and done it. Well, it hasn't been that long. Been a tad busy. Heh, aren't we always? :)      Batch of new blood arrived recently in the medical centre. No, I don't mean that there's been another mass number of casualties tumbling through my door.

And the peasants rejoiced :) Actually, I came back last last Thursday. From Genting, remember? And here I am, alive to tell the tale. Why the late entry? Well, it was kinda busy the moment I set foot back here in Singapore. Lemme explain... (insert shimmering flash-back effect here)      So okay, I'm on my coach ride back. I receive an SMS from a friend about his wedding on Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-1100531637011788042004-11-15T22:51:00.000+08:002006-11-14T16:07:25.372+08:00     I'm surprised I forgot to mention it in my earlier posts. "What?", you're wondering (Yes, I have every right to decide what you're thinking, since you're reading MY blog :)) Well, I'll be embarking on a trip to Genting Highlands tomorrow. The coach is at 7am, and the trip'll be around 6 hours or so. I'm mad excited. I'm looking forward to everything, from the trip up, to the stay, and the (Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-1099409287192140982004-11-02T22:43:00.000+08:002006-11-14T16:07:25.280+08:00     And here we are. The big TWO-FIVE. Quarter of a century old boys and girls. Not sure what to say, since a huge chunk has already been said a couple of days ago. "Thank you?" Heh, I figured I ought to write something on my birthday though. Commemorate the occasion and all. Just how old is 25 anyway? Is it supposed to be the prime of my life? Or is it beginning to end? *insert thoughtful chin Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-1099244152672590382004-11-01T01:07:00.000+08:002006-11-14T16:07:25.190+08:00     Heh, time flies when you're having fun doesn't it? It helps when your computer comes crashing down, and you can't give a flying fuck too :)      Anyhow, yes children, daddy's back. Wow, last post was back in April huh? 7 months. Actually, my computer was fixed back in late September, but due to the distance that had grown between me and my keyboard, time was spent slowly getting reacquaintedGenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-1081625541351484992004-04-11T02:58:00.000+08:002006-11-14T16:07:25.109+08:00     Sweet googly moogly, I finally was able to get this (much-loved) junk-pile I call a computer working again. All you needed was a little time to yourself, didn't you you bad-tempered little hussy? *insert kissy noises and baby-talk here* Gotta love a computer who knows how and when to play hard to get...      Anyhow, yeah, computer was on the fritz.

Was inspired to do so when a friend was talking about how she wanted to be anywhere but here (yes, I'm talking about you Nausheen), and after listening to the Counting Crows endlessly. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. This entry shall be as simple as the manner the poem/song/whatever was written.

There's been a lot going on recently in the past week or so. Incredibly eventful. Still, I apologise that all I left you with in the last post was a dry (but you have to at least admit, informative) article about how stifling Singapore can be. I'm sure you all found that out by yourself already :)      How has it been eventful you ask?

Should anything have? Well, granted, I have a lot to say on my period of self-isolation, but in the interests of getting enough sleep for the long week ahead (these weekends go by so fast), or at least, tomorrow, it'll have to wait till next weekend.

I don't feel any worse off, and I suppose that's a good thing. It's kinda weird though, on hindsight. Valentine's Day used to mean a lot to me in the past, whether I was single or attached. Then again, I used to believe differently in a lot of things in the past.

It's such a shame that they always go by so fast. Then it's back to serving the Nation. As much as I find it distasteful though, staying in on Pulau Tekong has it's benefits. All things considered, I spend my time more productively in camp than I'd do if I booked out every night, which, upon arriving home, would be devoted to the TV and food. For example, I Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14369820030596413586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271293.post-1075662282160163592004-02-02T02:55:00.000+08:002006-11-14T16:07:24.479+08:00     So wow, here's another entry. It's a poem thing I wrote during my Wednesday duty. Had quite a bit on my mind. Maybe a little too much. It's been a stressful sorta week for me. Anyhow, I had to get it out. Strangely, the words "lost and finding" kept going through my head. So, I put pencil to paper, and now, from print, to screen. It's my first poem, so bear with me.

Currently down with the flu. And a bad ulcer around the upper-lip region. Anything involving movement around that area induces blinding pain to the temples. Even drinking water is a torturous experience. All in all, it's been a sluggish day. Spent it slummed in front of the couch watching TV, except for 2 hours in my room watching the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen VCD.

Won't be baring my soul or anything like that tonight. Reason being, I have too much to say, and not enough time to say it. Have to get up bright and early for work later (actually, in another 2 hours or so). Serving the Nation and all. Next weekend perhaps. So here's what I'll do.

Then again, who isn't? :) Seriously though, I don't mean it just literally. It's weird, but since I have this here Blog set up, let's see how it'll look like in a text form.      I woke up around a month ago feeling weird. Feeling... Tired. A little more jaded, a little more cynical. Trust me, that's a huge jump from where I normally am. Viciously optimistic and idealistic.

Heh, most of my friends are surprised it didn't happen earlier. Procastination and I are good drinking buddies :) Another reason was 'cause posting my little articles and updates on the Friendster bulletin board just wasn't doing it for me.
