You know how they say computers are supposed to last a lifetime but they just generally break down a little after 2 yrs of usage. however hard you try to look after them. There's this one day that comes out of nowhere that causes this one little problem in your com that just pisses you off so much you feel like putting your fist through the error msg in the screen.

Today is one of those days.

Damn bloody computers.

[update] Rule #19. exactly.

Going lunar.

I actually meant this as a night post. but somehow it popped into my morning.

Its fascinating.
the way the lunar year passes faster than the solar year.
leaving us with a double of everything. somewhat mimicking the moon's pale reflection of the sun.
two new years and two birthdays.
two beginnings and two ends.
And due to the differences in days of the calendars. A coinciding day in a year will not be the same the next year.
And therehence (is there such a word) creates a choice.
And this year. I decided to go lunar.
Been sorta carefully awaiting this day since NZ.
where being alone among the stars.
Makes one think.
perhaps its the end-of-year thing.
Or perhaps its just the normal flow of events.
A year ago. by the lunar calendar.
yesterday was the single most beautiful day of my life.
The progression of days from then on was then,
well, more than sufficiently recorded.
And so has the aftermath.
The decision was not made today. or yesterday. or any day in this year for that matter.
But perhaps its my obsession with dates, names and patterns.
That i choose today of all days. to end my vigil.
Delight had not become Delirium.
For i choose not to let it to.
It had troubled me enough.
It shall not trouble me more.
I dreamt last night the same recurring dream i had for months.
excruciatingly reminding me of what Could have been.
Could. but last night is. last night.
Its a new year. and this year's gonna be great.
the moon is gonna shine on me this year.
Been listening to Elton John's 'don't let the sun go down on me' for far too long now.
Its time to let the sun set.
and bring forth dusk.
and moonlight.

Pictures part 2.

Well. More pictures.


The white thing in the background is snow.


A waterfall. quite self-explanatory. everyone takes pictures of waterfalls.


My living quarters. trust me. I've already put my best effort into making it neat before taking a picture. best effort.


Landscape of gold. captured during one fateful evening.


Trails of dust left in our wake as we moved in the mountains.


The lake mowahango. or something. pretty cool place.


highlight of the whole scenery. Mt. Ruapehu. the volcano.


A green bug. its coat is kinda shiny so i just took a picture of it.


Wild horses. overweight. that happens when no one's there to run you around.




And the new year officially starts.
The vigil ends today.
more later.

photos.

2 reasons.
1. the last post was hardly enough to summarise all that's happened in NZ.
2. I'm bored and trying to keep awake for the CNY to arrive.

so i've decided to post a few pictures. in no particular chornological order.



The bee in my room.

The cat that was chased by me and trapped by braba.



random stones along the way. just thought it looked artistic.


Outside the white house.


Cool car we saw on the road on the way to Pamerston north.


Carnivorous ducks which tried to devour us on our way to Taupo


There's a rainbow after every storm. (the vehicle in the middle had broken down)


Wild flower. very common. yet quite beautiful when taken picture off.


this is what you do when you're bored. write your name in the sand.


Or stand on top of some pole thinking you're the top of the world.


Dandelions. we helped quite a few to spread their seeds.


the white balls are hailstones. really.


that's my mountain


my sunset.


And my golden rays of sunshine.


The arthur peeps.


Me in my new leather.


clouds floating below us.

There's actually still quite a few but yeah. haven received half of them and the other half are 'classified' apparently. so yeah. till nxt time.

happy chinese new year everyone.

back

after..

A constellation of glow worms.
A cave full of stars.
A disco made by a broken canopy.
An airborne division of dandelions.

I'm back.

Happy New Year

I'm in NZ. And i do not know if i'm currently online. Or am i celebrating and enjoying myself.
But its a new year and there shall be a new year post like every year. But since i'm not around to emo and reminiscent. I shall try something different. Instead of reflecting and wishing everyone a happy new year.

I give thanks.
To everyone who would in one way or another, render help to me in the coming year. To everyone who may or may not touch my life. To everyone who may always be there, to those who may wander in absentmindedly, to those who keep away. Thanks.

I apologize.
For it's stupid and dumb to think that i will not commit errors and hurt someone next year. And it's too stupid to think that i will recognize them all in the year alone or that i will stand up to them and apologize after the incident. So i'll say sorry to those i may hurt next year and those who i haven't since years before.

I applause.
For the many moments in the year ahead that deserves just that. A kind gesture or a wondrous act of chivalry or anything heroic. For those moments that may touch my heart and ask me to do exactly that. Applause.

I celebrate.
For events within my forecast. ORD. being 20. touring with friends. For good movies. And bad ones with good company. For emo nights. For crazy nights.

And I reflect.
On a year that shall on this day next year have passed. On a year that would be awesome and brilliant. On a year that shall be filled perhaps by good magic and madness. Good books and perhaps one written by yours truly.

Happy new year everyone.
