one last trip to the uk

i'm leaving again. one last time. after this "one last time", i'll be back for good. this "one last time" in london will be memorable, i hope. london don't always come by. living in earls court is special. uni life comes by once. studying as a student will never come back to us. soon, we will all be old and wrinkly ('cept i'm actually wrinkly already).

talking to adam and jj the other day, i realised we've all grown up. we used to be contented with a ball and a group of friends. we played football during recess, after lessons, on saturdays, on remedial days. now, we will probably be as contented with a ball and a group of friends. but then, we don't have the time to play it during lunch, the legs to play it after school/work and the passion to play it every sunday. now, our passion lies with the heinekens and hoegardens. the proof lies beneath our t-shirts, where our beer-bellies are.

i also spoke to alex not long ago. we talked about our future, talked about our present and talked about our past. there are some friends whom we've still kept in contact with. not as close as the good old days, but better than nothing. there are those whom we've lost touch with totally. and there are some whom we've tried contacting, but weren't responding. when we were young, we were all the same. we all had similar goals. do well in the exams. we all had similar passions. play the game, both live and on the playstation. now we are all very different. and so we drift apart.

putain. i don't even know what i want sometimes. like, what do i want to write in this entry. well, i still dunno. so.. adios.

hope's 15th anniversary

i never knew i would blog about this, considering i haven't been to hope much recently. but anyway, thanks to timothy, i found out about hope's 15th anniversary. quite good. it was held at expo and i got to see a lot of old faces. familiar faces. a bit nostalgic. after all, i spent quite a bit of my youth in hope. can't believe i've known some of these old faces for about 8 years or so and quite a few of them are still around. so.. it was really great to meet them. i know i don't say it out to them, but ya.. really good to see them still serving God and all that.

have been thinking about this whole God thing and church thing. kinda decided i should at least make an effort to go for the service in london, even if i'm not gonna commit myself to God and all. at least it's a start. well, hopefully, i can keep this resolution.. dunno who's gonna go with me tho. kai says loi can go with me, but loi sleeps till damn late every sunday. well, maybe i can persuade little old suzi to come with me, but she will probably be bored.. anyway, we'll see we'll see.

holidays coming to an end. i'll be leaving in like a week's time. haven't met up with many people, but have this thinking that i'll be back for good next year anyway. sooo, i'll meet them next year. hahaha. one last year of studies. gotta make use of my time in grand old london. study hard. watch few more gigs (killers got sold out so quickly.. sian). watch few more matches (man u vs pool sold out liao.. sian). spend more time with my uk frens. and you know.. spend time travelling around europe. well.. and of course, spend time with suzi laaa.

end of..
