... the most glorious explosion of sunlight - right behind a cloud - directly in line from where I'm sitting. Out the window, I mean. Wow.
This time around, I'm not going to miss my friends as much - partially, cos I get to see them in a month, partially, cos I'm getting better at making friends where I go (!) and at being with myself (I hope!). But I will miss the independence ... :)

Sunrise. Sunfire. Sky alight.
Crescent moon high silver bright.
Slowly, the stars soon pass away
The fire burns out, and blueness remains
But for
a brief instant
the world is born anew
As dawnflames slowly cool to daylight
And as tomorrow comes o'er the thresh
I stare into the heavens above
Wondering what's coming next
Little suspecting, little thinking
That maybe
just maybe
it's here already.

On my way home, blog two.
The sky is glorious tonight, for some reason. Cloudy, but behind the clouds, crystal clear. And the stars are so bright! The moon just rose, and I can see her from my window. Thin crescent Id moon; really really beautiful. Within the hour, the sun will rise. And that will be truely beautiful.

Observant readers will note that unlike last time, I'm not posting an insane (and inane) stream of posts on the count-down to leaving Singapore. Partially, it ain't such a bit thing any more ... home is home, different faces, different people, and Singapore is Singapore. Sure, it'd be great to get away from the lab (no offense, but I'm poofed!) and it'll be great to not have to worry about clothes and money and ... but I guess I still will, atleast about money and stuff like that, I guess. I am changing. And that's a good thing.
I think the biggest change ... is a (slight, somewhat) change in my attitudes towards friends. From making like having a close friend was the greatest thing in the world, I've come around to the realisation that there are a lot of great people in the world, and most of them are quite fun to hang out with, and that - surprise, surprise - I can actually make friends with some of them! (in my own ... persistant, irritating way, I guess). So ... maybe, after all, I won't be lonely this Christmas.
I suppose - ironically, considering how much time and energy I've spent thinking about this the last couple of years - I think what I'd want most for Christmas would be just the ability of sit down - by myself - and relax. Unwind. Let myself go. Be alone, be happy - and loving it.
I know I can't get by like that. I know I'll need - want - people around me, friends I can trust and rely on, or just cool people who're fun to hang out with. But I'd love to find enough inner peace to be able to just ... be by myself, without feeling like I'm left out of the current. Everything's really coming together, though. I was thinking about last sem earlier tonight, and it struck me: three semesters ago, I was confused. Last-to-last sem, I was just plain wrong. Last sem, I was right, but the truths I was seeing - and learning - were painful. Yes, the last semester has been hell, but I needed it to put things behind me and move on, and hey - all births are painful. Now let's see what this baby can do.
Adios, amigos. Break a leg, and tell me all about it in Jan. And - most of all - take care of your loved ones, but yourselves first.

Had a run in with OSA today, as my holiday accomodation abruptly vanished from the system. It was surreal: you've heard so many bad things about them, then when you have to actually deal with them, they're as nice, polite and efficient as possible! Good lesson in prejudice for all, I guess, and I stay in my room until Wednesday. Oh, and thanks to the whole mess, I've gotten everything packed up already! Will try and arrange where I'm going to keep it by tonight.
Check out updated versions of my Web mockups.

The Taronga Zoo Story: debugging for real men.
Just got a phone call ... and I've been wondering ... the more things change, the more they stay the same? But things do change. So: what next? Wait and see?
Oh, and try this: dunno how it'll look though, or even if it's up right now. Try it.

Went to City Hall yesterday night ... so many memories, so many thoughts. Was up late worrying about life, the universe and everything. Also ate mullets and drank a Gin and tonic - my first! Quite liked it.

"A beach house," he said, "doesn't even have to be on the beach. Though the best ones are. We all like to congregate," he went on, "at boundary conditions". "Really?" said Arthur. "Where land meets water. Where earth meets air. Where body meets mind. Where space meets time. We like to be on one side, and look at the other."
