So,last day of the year....it's been a strange year, with its ups and downs....the woman I called Aunty Ludi for 17 years left my household for good and returned to the Philippines,we got a new car back in Singapore and I'm not there to drive it,I'm in my final year at uni and still undecided about what I want to do with my life. Who knows what the future holds? The recent earthquake/tsunami disaster in South East Asia has left thousands dead and injured. My heart goes out to them.......I also lost a dear friend over the summer,and made some new friends this year as well.....one thing I've learnt this year is that family and friends are so dear....keep them close to your heart and make sure you tell them how much they mean to you. I've had a fantastic winter break with some of my closest friends. I'll write more about it and show some pictures too when I have the time. Right now,I'm getting ready to go to Edinburgh for my last NYE as a St Andrews student.....and after that,it's back to St Andrews for some frenzied studying. All the best to each and everyone of you lot.Peas out.

the future seems so uncertain. I wish I had an inkling of what I wanted to do with myself.....thing is,everytime I try to imagine the future,I just get images straight from hiphop videos...u know,big baggy clothes,bling bling accessories,6 fit birds in bikinis on each arm,sat in a jacuzzi with champagne and some bloke on either side,rapping towards the camera placed on the ground....damn mtv!
anyhoo,twas the last day of term today....hooray i guess.....bring on the work! bring on amsterdam! bring on a brand new perspective on life! bring on 2005! bring me a mail order wife! (or not.)

The end of yet another semester is upon us and in a matter of weeks I'll be going into my final semester as a St Andrews student.....how very depressing,the end of an era eh? Oh well,I like to think that I've made an impact of sorts on the people here,those come and gone. but enough with this random,whiney bs. I look back at the past semester and the only thing I've accomplished is the ability to whinewhinewhine. I'm getting sick of myself.Should I reinvent myself? If so, how? So many things to do, so little time, so little motivation. Guess I'll stick with whining and wallowing in my self-pity....things will probably only get better when I get more sunshine.....It sounds so very twisted but as I type all this out, I am aware of a very sick sense of accomplishment which I'm getting from the realisation that you guys have just spent the past couple of minutes reading about my whiney world....thank you and goodnight. I'll sleep on that (in my lonely single bed)! Boohoohoo.....how I love waking up next to the wall *sob*

All Bunkered up!

Kristina and I.

Ahhh...the bunker was such a good night. As you can tell from the photo, Kristina is looking gorgeous as usual while I look young and fat at the same time...how very annoying. I wish I was as photogenic as her. Guess it's about time I started taking better care of myself eh? Let's just say that when the photo was taken, it was a wee bit hard to smile nicely.*wink*Anyhow, it was a wicked night for all. Three rooms of banging techno,drum and bass and house. I spent a good part of the night in the House room,listening to some amazing progressive house,the odd breaks tune and a whole lot of funky house! Aidan especially was on top form....guess his spinning's better when he doesn't drink?hahahaha.....Not much else to say apart from the fact that I should really be getting to bed right about now. I am suffering from a lack of sleep....I wish I was more tired though. Arrrgh.....insomnia fairy,stay away from me!

Cooked fried rice (mum's recipe) for my flatmates today...it turned out to be a major success in spite of the hassle involved in getting it cooked...I'm always a bit apprehensive when it comes to cooking something for the first time(as most people probably are!)...thank goodness it turned out well....apart from that,not much to report...my sleeping pattern is starting to get a bit more normal now...well,somewhat. I just force myself to get out of bed every morning to return short loan books to the library by 9.45am...I find it half-sad/half-amusing that it's the fear of having to pay a fine which gets me out of bed and not the fact that it's better for me to get up in the mornings so that I can get stuff done and get some of the scarce sunlight we have here in sunny scotland! That said,i've always been a nocturnal sort of lad anyhow.....

I was thinking today that the most important piece of advice I have ever received from a cab driver is that when one is in throes of a bout of indigestion, the best thing to drink is a cup of ginger tea. Thank you mister cab driver man. U have saved my life many a time with ur priceless piece of advice.
Disclaimer: This happened in Singapore....don't think that all cab drivers in spore give good advice. I've been told many a time about the best places to find take a woman if one needs a quick shag in a hotel...needless to say, I paid no mind to the sleaze bags.

Spoke to my sis today, she told me that she and the family went to see the finals of "Singapore Idol" last night at the Singapore Indoor Stadium and that they were sat two rows behind the president....fair enough, it might have been fun but I just don't get why it's such a big deal in Singapore...I really don't...
Anyhow,enough rambling....I don't have much to say...i'm far too knackered....too much looking at books and tv screens...my eyes almost hurt.
