it's been a while hasn't it...? less than a mth since i finished my exams, and now my results are out. did slightly better than i expected, with 1 credit and 2 distinctions. bearly scraping thru the distinction boundary with an expected push-up mark i guess. but a D's a D... and im not complaining. i'd gracefully take that every semester, if its possible. anyway, just for the record, my 2 D's were for marketing and psychology, which happen to be my majors. the credit for management doesnt really matter, since its just considered a core subject i had no choice but to take. well, just hope that things will stay the same the next couple of sems and ill be a contented man.
anyway, the EPL season is a mth away, and i just cant wait for it to start again. guys, isnt it boring not to have soccer to watch every weekend? it just doesn't feel right doesn't it? somehow a part of me is missing during the summer break, due to the lack of soccer action. i feel lost every weekend, when my dearest Gunners are not on TV.
anyway, its NSmen Day tomorrow! meeting up with my campmates for KTV and dinner tomorrow. its been a while since we all met up together, and im really glad i did make some great frens, though not many, during my NS days. well, as the saying goes... having a few close frens is better than having thousands of acquaintances. agree? talking about close frens, i really miss my gd buddy Kenny, who's in Melbourne. chatted with him online the other day, just to update each other about our lives. knew him just for that short period, but i really treat him as one of my closest brothers. dont know why... i guess its just an affinity btw 2 pple. many things cant be explained, and im sure you agree. was hoping that he'd be back in HK end of this year, so that he could take me around. but i heard he's gonna be staying on in Melbourne, and working thru the summer. well, i guess ill only see him when i return to Melbourne for graduation in '07. thats still so far away...
but remember, close frens dun have to be with each other all the time. memories do stay in your heart, and they'll never fade away.
You know it makes sense!

sadly, we have to announce the demise of a poor apostle which once stood along its fellow companions at the world-renowned Great Ocean Road, south-west of Melbourne. am i a jinx? went to the Twin Towers in NY in 1998 and it collapsed 3 yrs later. and this time round, i was just taking pics with my dear apostles in feb this year, and now the rock which resembles 2 faces, has collapsed as well.
