from Pisa to China
5am melbourne time
"...hello dear, sorry sorry, u asleep aredi ah...i was mugged...still outside..not at the apt yet..."
*yawn*
"...huh???!!...."
last nite was truly a nitemare for wj. his good intentions went wry. and it was all my fault.
if i hadnt told him that i wanted a corsage, he wouldnt have gone to DongMen And he wouldnt have been mugged!
after we chatted on msn, wj decided to head down to DongMen to see whether he could get something for me. As he was looking,he placed his bag down and before he even knew it, someone had come up from his behind and took his crumpler bag away!
in a state of shock and panic, wj tried to chase the guy. but it was so crowded and the thief got away easily amongst the crowd. at that time wj was really panicky, his passport was in the bag and along with his hp. he couldnt call for help and as a foreigner in a country, the last thing he ever wants to be missing is his passport!
he asked passerbys where the nearest police station was, luckily one person directed him. he went to the police station and reported his lost and telling them that his passport is really impt to him. Fortunately, the policemen there were quite helpful and after recording his report, they decided to scout that area again with him. So wj and the policemen went to the crime scene...
after walking many lanes and alleys, and the crowd has subside as it was getting late, wj saw the thief and his accomplices! he pointed to them! the policemen arrested the guys, brought them back to the station and interrogated them.
after hours, the thief didn't have wj's bag. apparently he had passed it onto someone else aredi. but was wj lucky cos the policemen actually managed to retrieve his bag from his accomplice!
wj managed to get back his bag and the contents inside.
THANK GOD.
i too was mugged at pisa 3 years ago. and i was lucky and managed to retrieve my bag too. thanks to the police officer there. nottie gypsies.

after eating my oranges and drinking my milk...a surge of feelings!
"independence and freedom is wat many has sacrificed to get in this world..." -hime_QI
i believe home is where the heart belongs, freedom and independence is just physical characteristics that is needed in many to feel released. my home has no restrictions or awful rules and regulations to abide. so in home, i have freedom and independence.
but somewhere, somehow, i realised that being away from home, is not purely just freedom and independence, i actually have a small happiness welling in me, a little joy and pride to be alive and living on my own, doing everything myself...appreciating the chilly winds that blow against my face, the white faces that i see so often in my daily life now, the tram tracks which i have never seen before, the different pavements, the new route back to my apt...the lonely nites by myself that i alone share with no one, the before thots of wat to have for dinner, the after thots of having a hot cuppa tea with the laptop in front of me...oh wat we can make out of LIFE!

GrandPrix
GrandPrix 10th AnniversaryMelbourne
1200nn:
the queue started even before we reached there! we had wanted to see the parade from FedSq..but throngs and throngs of pple! and we couldnt even get to there...so we had to settle at collins street to watch the parade...the sun was scorching but the pple didn't mind...and the crowd just got more and more. we waited in anticipation and took out our cameras...
1230nn:
and still no engine sounds..the crowd was getting excited, and bustling...pple started climbing the trees and some even got out of their windows and perched on the building's canopy to see! the lucky fews sat in the apt, gazing from their windows arcoss the street...there were security men handling out ear plugs...Earplugs? at a parade...hmm...
1245pm:
Ah..the mayor arrives in a beemer...and of cos the official sponsors like cadbury who sent their freddy frog and fosters who sent their bevy of blondies...
12.50pm:
---Zoom---went past the first racing car! huh! i thot it was parade?? the car swept past us even before we had time to focus!
1pm:
---ZOOM!!!----went the next car...this time i managed to catch something...
1.15pm:
----ZOOOOOM!!!!----this car was too fast!! and it's engine was so deafening!!! no wonder they handed us the ear plugs! and the next one and the next one...
1.30pm:
...we all thot the parade had ended...we walked away from the barracades and bought ourselves some charity hotdogs. and munched on them hungrily..when suddenly we heard that familiar engine sound and swept past our ears...and then came another one...we pulled our necks high up..but the racing cars were so low to the ground and lots of pple were blocking!!!
...and then came the end of the parade...
the security remove the barracades and the people started moving out...and so we went back to our apts...
