The last time I chilled in my backyard was with my friends - Erika, Mimmi, Martien and Andy. We had a nice quiet dinner, 2 boxes of goon and a whole lot of laughter playing drunko. It was a lovely night, a little sad it being our last night together, but nevertheless, lovely. I will never forget standing at my front door hugging my girls goodbye. Well, its never goodbye. Its always "see you later" and that's what it was. Going to my backyard now isn't the same when I'm alone, and who knows when the next time they'd be down in Perth.

God should make the World an easier place to travel, instead of having to fly 12 hours or more to get to Europe and America. Or faster airplanes that travel at the speed of sound! Oh, cheaper flights would be good too, thanks. Perth is a sad place to be when most of your friends have left, especially the ones you've grown so used to having around. But of course there are people who I'd remember but whose presence would never miss.

Went to get my haircut today, my stylist was a nice bloke who chatted quite a bit. Asked me questions about Singapore and I told him of its quirkiness. (Pity, i know i should not be dissing it) Seems most non-Asians simply have the same perspective of Asians, particularly Singaporeans. They get a look of surprise about how common speaking English is, they're shocked at our gum laws, and of course, every Australian now knows of the infamous (outrageously back-dated) death penalty we still carry out. Just like how almost every American knows of the Michael Kay case and our caning system. I suppose if you just try to overlook all that, its not really that bad a place, for tourists at least.

The dictionary defines Vision as being "A mental image produced by the imagination", and perspective as "a mental view or outlook", or "a point of view". Someone tell me, is there a difference? Is it possible to perceive something in one way, and have a vision of it in another? I believe Caucasians in general, have a certain perspective of Asians, as do we Asians, have a certain perspective of them. But do we have a vision of something? I'm caught in my own entanglement of words and thoughts. I've sidetracked from the original entry I wanted to write and now I don't know what it is.

I want to go home.
