In short, New York New York is awesome. Especially when there aren't a lot of people and when William is the duty manager :P

Its the holidays, I have tonnes to do, but I am quite complacent. I need to get my motivation (short term) back to gain momentum!
Yes.. meeting up with Ena today hopefully. Haven't talked to her in ages.

I haven't seen any archi HK people either. Hmm.

The 21st line up is going to be .. 'draining' in many many ways... Somehow, God decided August/Sept was the prime time to just spur out loads of babies. Lovely.

Raymond S, you came back from Gisborne I presume? Hopefully see you at PC this week or the next.
I need to catch up with many many people.

Anyways, thought I'd just keep this blog alive and leave something. heh.

Don't have anything remotely emo/intelligent to complain about.
Except something about pride.
But more on that later.

See ya.

P.S.
Belated Happy Birthday to Raymond Chung

Its been a long time since I posted something in consecutive days.

My convenient truth. I am blessed with so many good friends. However, today's 'Sonny's Thankful friend of the Day' goes to Nick.
For those of you who do not know Nick.. well basically he's a good mate at architecture.

Thanks Nick, for calling unexpectedly.

Its really about who you know, not what you know. Right?

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all my other friends. You are all invaluable to me!
I won't go as far as Dennis in saying I love you all - (I do.) because it gets too cheezy. lol.

I ran yesterday. Like mad.
I ran because I felt the need to be alive.
My legs ached and I was breathless as I lay on my verandah but I felt alive.

Breathlessness is exhilarating because its like every second you are grasping at life because if you don't - you feel like your heart is going to burst.
You feel so great.

Lastly, I've been thinking about God and his unconditional love.
I think I can finally start to realise what unconditional love is - because I also seek it. (maybe unconditional love is not exactly the best phrase to describe what I am feeling.. what about 'mutual love'?)

Conversely, if I was God, I'd feel extremely horrible because.. people .. I dont know.
My words fail me.

Time to go.

The old couch was inviting. We walked in. The entrance shifted around - apparently.
Old man by the corner with loose pages of something-nothing. A girl unenthusiastically highlighting phrases.
The pen in one hand, the cup in the other.
Cars racing by. Everyone has somewhere to get to.

A quiet night.

..

Making ourselves comfortable, we talked.
About that, this and everything.

I think talking is the easiest part, because its when you start connecting with someone that a conversation begins.
Talk is cheap.
Moments of connections though, are priceless.
When brutal honesty builds a bridge between two people it is often difficult to take a step forward. We both crossed that bridge.

"It might hurt, but I think you.. . I think you are too scared of being rejected that you.. you don't open yourself up. in your entirety"

Indeed my dear friend, you are right. You know me too well and I owe you lots.
Yes.
I am scared.
But that doesn't mean I won't try.

My 'English Breakfast Tea' was waiting patiently for me.

...


Impulses are hard to follow through for me, and I don't know why.
My heart yearns but my brain scoffs.

Oh! Dichotomy.

...


Note to Raymond. S : We have to catch up bro! You still haven't contacted! :) and anyone else who I haven't talked to recently, because here at Sonny Corp. We value your friendship and are always thankful for your investments.

Note to Self: If you don't have respect nor confidence, there's no way you can expect anything from anyone else.
Grow up and get your act together. You can do it.And remember, True confidence is never without a shadow of doubt.

Goodnight all. It is the beginning of Semester II.

Nothing like a good skip in the crip morning air...

Its good to be alive and free.

I am going off to get a cup of coffee. No wait. Cawfeeeeeee.

Hope everyone is having a blast of a holiday. If not. I don't see any reason why not ?!

SMILE :O SMILE :) SMILE ;)

urgh. I'm relaxed and happy.

Disgusting.

Its the holidays, everyone have fun a'ight?
My emo thought. Rawr.

Excerpts from my little black book.
 
"The beauty of it is that I can't quite remember it, yet it keeps me infatuated"

"Waiting is the greatest gift a man can receive,
and so here I am. Blessed in all its glory."

"The slight of hand and the gentlest whisper of words
is the greatest curse to befall upon me."

Some friends suggested that I record my songs
maybe this holiday is a good chance to do so
or at least one song.. hmm

Might go to Wellington for an architectural conference
Want a roadtrip
Want to sleep lots
Want lots of things
