Was away to HongKong on Mid Autumn Festival on the 14th for work. Came back to Singapore on the morning of the 18th and the night of 18th itself, flew to Melbourne for my holiday with Botak and Sissy. Tiring arrangement but not something I could help especially I booked my holiday months ago and the meeting in HongKong came much later.
In any case, it was a great trip and in a way, I brought my Dad along. I had his driving licence with me in my wallet since he passed away. I told myself that he is going with me on all trips. This is, in a way, to help me fulfilled the wish of bringing him for trips. I never had the chance to.
Talking about my Dad, I still am haunted by the fact that he passed away so suddenly and a sense of cold just came over me everytime I think of it. I never knew what dreams he had. We never really had a chance to talk about what he wants and he really likes. He never had a chance to tell us even his last words. To me, it is all so unfair.
The trip to Melbourne was not my first choice. It was a plan to visit the States this year but due to leave constraints from Sissy (He started a new job so did not want to take so much leave lah) so we decided on a new venue. Melbourne was always a destination I wanted to visit someday for the purpose of just driving on the Great Ocean Road but it was a trip I thought I could take anytime later in my life haha. But well it came sooner then expected. We booked the tickets and rented a car and off we went!
We spent 3 days in Melbourne itself.
DAY 1:
Arrived in Melbourne at 830AM Melbourne Time (Singapore Time 630AM). Hang out at the airport and relaxed for an hour, had a coffee and freshen up before collecting our car.
First thing we did after collecting our car was to drive to ESSENDON DIRECT FACTORY OUTLET haha cos we could not check in till 2PM. So we shop there and had our lunch there before proceeding to our motel in St Kilda.
The rest of the day was pretty much resting and shopping at Chadstone, one of the biggest shopping mall in Melbourne.
DAY 2:
Went to Queen Victoria Market early in the morning. It was huge, we bought fruits, bread etc. Had breakfast there. Spent 4 hours there which I think is already short. We 3 guys were not shopping freaks and still we spent 4 hours. Imagine those shopping crazy girls haha! In the afternoon, we went to Chinatown and basically just hang out and walk around and having our lunch at one of the many chinese restuarants there.
DAY 3:
Sunday and we spent the whole day in Philip Island. Was a long drive there and we reach there around 10am or so and the first stop was the Chocolate factory haha and then we went to an interesting trip to Churchill Island. Then back to the main Philip Island where we had lunch and the Koala COnservation Centre and then to the various surf beaches there. The last 2 stops was the Nobbies and the Penguin Parade of course.
Will update the rest of the trips and photos will come once they are consolidated haha!

When some people says that religion like Christianity is nothing more than emotional support. I agree. We are humans. And we need emotional support alot. I do not appear emotional to my friends and people around me. People always see me as forever happy. People always think I am never sad. People think I am always positive.
I like to think they are right but they are not. Many times, I withdraw into my own space and its only in my space that I can fully express my emotions. I am not as much an extrovert people think I am. I am an introvert who choose to be an extrovert.
And its only in a space where no one else but God and myself shared that I am able to be myself. I cursed. I cried. I break down. I am torn. I get lost. I questioned. I screamed. But God is just there. Always there. He is an emotional support. But He is more than that. When I got to know Him14 years ago, He gave me a reason to live on in this world. He helped me realised my worth in this world. It is Him who enabled me to go out to the world and be brave to face it and yet received me in my private space and allowed me to be myself.
I realised something through this tough period of time. "Love is not saying what you think others want to hear. Love is not saying but being. Just being there." What God says is important but to me, He being here for me, is more important than any words He has spoken.
Introducing some other bands:
BAND: SKILLET
A Christian hard rocking band. Good mainstream rock with great melodies and vocals and tunes you will nod your head to.
SONG: REBIRTH
SONG: SAVIOR
BAND: AUDIO ADRENALINE
A Christian alternative indie band. I liked them when I first heard them on Some Kind Of Zombie. Their tunes sound more fun than seriously rocking out. But its really weird that I like some of their songs. Listen to them.
SONG: SOME KIND OF ZOMBIE
SONG: NEVER GONNA BE AS BIG AS JESUS

Just me--
I am difficult to understand and I hate to be understood. I am best left alone.
Just be my friend but do not ever try to show me that you understand me better than myself. I am a loyal person and everyone is my friend
until he or she chooses not to be. Actually that is quite easy to understand right. If you hit the right note with me, you will find me very easy going.
I love music. And I love writing music and jamming with my band. Music has accompanied me through the worst times of my life. I thank God for that gift.
I am different and I am not afraid to be different. I hate politically correct people. Its alright to be courteous but not right to be a hypocrite.
I am funny. I love to be funny. I am not afraid to make fun of myself to bring laughter to others. I love making others happy. But I am not a clown.
