What if I were to tell you that I might be on my way to heaven (or hell) half a century earlier than people normally would? Like, soon? Don't even ask me why yet.

That was how I felt last night. I felt the world closing down on me, like so many occasions before. But last night was the worst I've been through. I started sweating profusely my friends were bemused before I told them what happened. I couldn't walk 10 steps, my eyes could only see darkness, and all my blood flushed away to some part of the body I don't even know where, cos I was bathed in my own cold sweat. They were even serious about bringing me to the A&E.

"Your face look like you're a vampire," One said.

Instead of being worried, I was actually thrilled, despite the "halfway to heaven" experience. I've always flirted with the idea of being a vampire, ideas contributed by the likes of Christopher Pike and Stephenie Meyer. No, it was not due to the fact that vampires look excellent with their porcelain skin and perfectly sharp features. Or that they look cool in their black trench coats. Ok, maybe a little. But I'd imagine myself prancing rooftop to rooftop after the sun has set, watching the world down below. Sniffing out my targets, feasting on them. It will surely deliver great joy slowly draining out the little lives out of them, especially so if they're someone I dislike. Oh, there were so many times I'd be in the company of people who I wouldn't say I was very pleased to be with. And thoughts of breaking their joints with my vampiric strength always brought little smirks on my face.

You know what they say about living life on the edge. I for sure have done that - the edge between the living and the dead.

It has come to a point of realisation that a person's character is indeed one of the hardest thing to change. Speaking for myself.

No matter how much I've changed in all my twenty odd years, I'm always the one who appears really friendly to everyone, talking nonsense, joking about everything like a little kid.

Then when people mistakenly think I'm a really kind soul without a temper, they start to take me for granted - by the things they say about me, illusion that I'm so easy to get along with I will agree to everything, regardless.

"Oh it doesn't matter la, Alvin loves to talk cock with us too, ha ha ha."

Ha, ha, fucking ha. Its pretty tough being a friendly person, but yet retaining that respect you demand from people.

Up to a point when sometimes during my off-days, I prefer to just be a little more silent, quietly indulging in people's company. Then they assume I have something on my mind because suddenly, I'm not the usual fella who cracks jokes or talk senselessly for the humor of everyone else. And that's when people start to watch what they say about and to me.

I think I prefer it that way from now on.

Watching football has just become a luxury here. Initially when *Hub decided to increase its price by $15 for its sport programmes, I terminated my subscription with them. I turned to streaming on my computer at a great inconvenience.

Subsequently I reluctantly sign up for *Hub's TV package again, knowingly that I have to pay 25% more just to satisfy my sport cravings, and the extra cost does not justify the inferiority of the new Barclays Premier League presenters - One who could never wipe that damn smile off his face even when he was on the topic of one of the most horrible injuries, while the other found it neat to wear a red suit with a bright yellow shirt underneath. It stinks to be a business student and knowing that I'm being shortchanged. No wonder they say ignorance is bliss.

So now the latest newts is that Stinktel has won the exclusive rights to broadcast the Champions' League. They even mentioned with pride that with their "video on-demand", viewers no longer need to wake up at 2:30 in the morning to catch LIVE soccer. Guess those upper management fellas who sleep at 10pm every night have no idea that the whole point of watching football at 2:30am is well, to watch it LIVE!

Therefore, it really saddens me that I have to watch BPL on channel 27, 21 and 22, while FA Cup on 23, and subscribe to MIO to watch Champs' League.

It's a joke, really. Only if it's funny.

"When are you gonna be happy again, when everyone goes home?"

To all the chicks in this country who rely on the phrase "We're dating but we're not together(yet). (so I'm still licensed to go out on other dates, and if those dates do not work well, I know my original sucker date will still be there *BEAMS*.)

Also to all the nice guys(who regrettably always finish last) who never quite understand the rationale of "dating" because to you its either you're together, or you're not(fuck the gray area in between).

Have a good laugh

Granted that I have another year of extremely hard work before I can call myself a graduate, but its been some time since I've started thinking about moving abroad. For good or otherwise. Moving to London seems really appealing, as is New York.

Thing is, there are so many things to take into consideration. The culture, racial discrimination, standard of living, weather and taxes, among many others.

And will an Australian degree get me anywhere in those 2 places? Well, I guess I can settle for Australia as well, but I don't want to spend my life at a place as laid back as Australia. Plus I love the sun, and the lack of ozone layer will really pose a problem.

A lot more research will be needed. And if I do move, the world shall know. (:
