Lack of updates

I would like to apologise for the lack of updates, I've been quite busy the past few days, having just arrived here and such. Will try to resume drawing as soon as possible. Do bear with me.

Closer

The Changi Musings

Sitting here at the airport in Singapore, and you what's going on through my mind? It's the fact that this world is really really small. To begin with, I already saw 5 familiar faces on the same flight out of KLIA to Singapore, one of which being Alexis Chuah, of with whom I encountered a somewhat exciting situation, of which I shall elaborate on further. It brought made me think back to the time when I was in Chicago about to fly home to Malaysia a few months earlier, where I met a school friend of mine, Su Yin. It was somewhat odd yet refreshing at the same time to see a familiar face in a faraway land. And it just so happened we had the same flights to Singapore via Hong Kong. And to add to the coincidences, I sat with the same group of Singaporean girls on the flights to Hong Kong and Singapore. Being on the same flight might not seem like so big a coincidence, but the fact that I was allocated seats next to them was. Just made me realise how small this world really is. Ok, fine, the relation between coincidence and small world might be a bit vague, but it makes sense in my mind.

Back to Alexis. If you may have noticed my facebook wall post, yes, I did run through a terminal, Terminal 1 of Changi to be exact. Her flight was to depart at 5.45am, and so at 5am, we left the comfy chairs in Terminal 3 to make our way to Terminal 1. As we got down from the train connecting the terminals, we noticed that her flight status was saying "Final Call", which was somewhat of a surprise for us, since we hadn't expected that specific status to be showing at 5.10. So we ran through the terminal. And the gate was at the other end of the terminal. But all's good, to cut the story short, she made it in on time, and the gate was still open even when I walked back to the other end of the terminal.

And it also amused me that I know Changi well enough to give a tour around it. It's like my fifth time transiting for a period of 7 hours here. So now I have a routine whenever I get here (if I'm alone).

1) Go to Terminal 3.
2) Get WiFi.
3) Use laptop.
4) If hungry, go upstairs to 24 hour eatery and buy food.
5) Repeat (3) until tired.
6) Go to the comfy chairs in the rest areas and nap.
7) Board flight. Fly wherever I'm flying to.

There is also process "*", an extremely important process, but not necessary all the time.
*) Check-in. Not necessary if allowed to check in at a different airport. Check-in time varies in accordance to when the check-in counter opens.

Well, that'll be all for now. And I'm serious need of some sleep. Hopefully I can fulfil that need on the aircraft. Long journey ahead of me.

Toodles.

Someone you love

Falling apart

Smile...

...and let the world think that you're really smiling.

I think I'm losing my sanity here

Sleepless nights, one too many. It's driving me nuts, the fact that I can't fall asleep. I just keep on thinking and thinking and thinking. I get annoyed, I want to fall asleep. Then I get angry, because I can't. And then I get Thoughts. And the cycle continues. It's a vicious cycle, it just gets worse and worse the longer I stay in it. I need to break out.

Hello world

Clinging on to Hope

Hope

I just hope that somewhere out there, I'll be able to find someone who'll be able to accept all my idiosyncrasies, my weird habits, my emotional instability; someone who'll be able to bear with me.

A light in the darkness

Looking in

More random thoughts, no drawings

I just hope I know what I'm doing.

Please don't let me enter that spiral of self-destruction again.

Why do I break everything I touch?

Holding back

What I do when bored: Rockstar

Note: I'm not actually a left-handed guitarist, I just drew it and realised that I drew the guitar wrongly. >.<

Dare I?

Inspired by "Part of a fool" by Juwita Suwito. I've been listening to too much music. =P

Comments and opinions are welcome. I don't think this sketch turned out that well.

A sobering thought

I just came across something that made me think, I have things so easy. If I were in that other person's shoes, would I be able carry myself the way that person did? My thoughts go to him and his family.

And the raindrops keep falling into my heart,

and i just can't deny what feels so right.

Do i let myself go and feel the rain,

or should i play with caution and refrain?

Whatever i do, when it comes to you,

I know sometimes love plays the part of a fool.

-Part of a fool, Juwita Suwito-

Short word post. This song suddenly came up in my playlist, and I felt that more people should know about this song. Juwita Suwito is awesome.
