If only he could walk on water

Saved the life of a kid having a sudden asthma attack in the pool - he isn't even a lifeguard. Too bad I haven't got a photo of him hauling the kid out.

MerCarry my McCarry

One name: McCarry

Here's another one

 

Yes he does try to hide his face a lot, I think this photo explains why :)

Go chica

Get banana

Hey monkey

Get funky

Swing along Tarzan

That's our back-up plan if all else fails, which I'm sure won't, but a back-up plan is always a good thing to have - just in case.

Living On The Hill... [MUSWELL HILL]

A small town - Muswell Hill

So, I was out in the broadway, with a digital camera. I must've looked like a tourist when in fact I lived on this very hill.

And so... quoting the saying, "First impressions are not always right..." This church is not a church... in fact it is the local English pub, O'Neil! I only just found out the day I went to explore Muswell Hill Boradway... and to think I knew this place quite well from living here for about five years...

This is the view from the top of the hill... It was a very sunny day, so the view was pretty cool I thought... it was more impressive when I was there, than on this photo

Never really looked at the houses properly... and now I noticed that they all look like steps going down as the hill goes down... intriguing...

I never noticed the shops as much before... look, that's our car, right outside of that Clinton's stationary and gifts shop - that blue coloured one. I should keep my eyes open for anything else I haven't yet noticed which would usually be right in front of my nose... I reckon I should get into Photography.

I Got You

"Ain’t falling a part, or bitter

Let’s be bigger than that and remember

The cooling outdoor when you’re all alone

We’ll go on surviving

No drama, no need for a show

Just wanna say

I got you

Go ahead and say goodbye

I’ll be alright

Go ahead and make me cry

I’ll be alright

And when you need a place to run to

For better for worse

I got you"

Leona Lewis. Her new album speaks to me. (Yes I am back into blogging after a whole year of disappearing).

"So we take it each moment our love grows

I see it, you see it,

What we have is made of gold

We're so filled with meaning,

Nothing can make us shallow.

So I hold it, and you hold it

The promise of tomorrow.

When we make love its overwhelming

I just touch the heavens.

You're an angel, you're an angel

And I said this world, this world

Could leave us anyday

But my love for you, it will never go away"

I used to not appreciate her songs, as her voice annoyed me, but when a friend lent me her CD i was surprised how overwhelmed I got from listening to just the first song which made me listen to the others. I guess her previous album hadn't been so good.

"Even though I

Never met you

I still miss you

I can see you in my dreams

And I hope that

When you read this

Just maybe you'll remember me"

I'm not quite sure why that one got to me.

But enough of the lyrics, my point is, I recommend those who dislike Leona Lewis because of 'Bleeding Love' to take a chance and listen to her new CD, "Echo". This new album had been one of the few albums and songs that inspired me further in writing my novel which is the first of a series of four..

There is an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in which I am writing a novel for it - I'm actually halfway through it, considering I had about half a year so far to do it. The qualification ends around April, and I don't think I'd be able to complete the whole thing. So I'd be submitting the incomplete novel, and continueing it anyway for my own interests.

 
Hopefully I'd have time to update this blog, and I'm thinking of posting something up once every week, maybe every Fridays - so keep an eye on this blog :)

Bringing nowhere somewhere

Hey hill-billies,

Just to leave a post to answer anyone's questions about the "My trip... to nowhere" story posted in this blog. Well, I've written the whole story as a book, and I'm not intending to post anymore chapters online, so if anyone is interested, just email me, and I can send you the finished story :)

Thanks!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL

Wishing all my blog readers a happy New Year, and may all your New Year's resolutions be fulfilled. I have seven resolutions at the moment and I have my mind set on working towards achieving them preferably before halfway of 2009, as the things i have to do has to be done by then...

But anyway, it is the year of the Ox, in case there is anyone interested to know, hehe.

Have a fantastic New Year all ;)

My Trip... To Nowhere - Chapter Twenty-One

“To think that you lot are so close to escaping…” My Other-Half said, with his arms folded across his chest, and one foot tapping the ground slowly, almost rhythmically.

I clenched my fists. There were too many of them to fight off. I glanced over at Rio. His facial expression was stony, but determined. I looked back at the clones. How many more of them are out there? There is no way we could get out of this.

“I suggest you come with us quietly, with no objection.” My Other-Half said slowly, his eyes locked onto mine, as if calculating me. “Or you will regret it.”

In the corner of my eye I saw a few heads whip around to look at me. I could feel my cheeks warming up, and was grateful that it was dark, so no one could see. I felt Nicky's eyes burn a hole through me, and I was not able to return her gaze. I turned to look at Rio, at the same time he turned to look at me. In the light of the flames from the torch, his eyes seemed to gleam with intelligence. I studied his expression carefully.

“Well?” My Other-Half said almost impatiently. His voice seemed distance as I thought about it.

Rio nodded at me, with no facial expression. I looked away. There was no way Rio would give away how he was feeling. Then I caught a glance of the flame-lit torch. I threw a glance at Rio and saw a very, very slight smile.

“Fine,” I said in a low voice.

“What?” Nicky said out loud, clearly shocked. I couldn’t look at her.

“You’re giving up already?” she asked me.

Please. I silently prayed. Just go along with this.

“Tom-”

“Nicky, be quiet.” Rio said calmly, in a low voice.

“But-”

“Please, Nicky.” I said quietly.
My Other-Half smiled. He smiled mockingly, and said, “Oh… how very cute.”

I glared at him, as he continued, smirking, “I’ll make sure you two will be in separate cells.”

There was a pause as me and him glared at each other. I felt so small. Like I was the prey – like we all were the prey, and him alone was the hunter. The hunter who had his prey ready on his plate, holding a fork and prodding each of us, prodding me the hardest, not eating us just yet, but will be very soon. We were all powerless against him.

He cocked his head onto one side, and said, “Take them.”

He stood where he was, and watched as the clones – one for each of us – bound our hands with rope. I did not attempt to struggle, and neither did Rio. But Nicky managed to elbow the clone binding her in the ribs. He winced, but took a firmer grip on her arm, bending it far back. Her face contorted with pain, but she let no noise escape her lips. She looked up at me. There was a moment where our eyes met. I was about to smile reassuringly at her, but she lowered her eyes to the ground and looked away. Downhearted, I looked away to see my Other-Half studying me. His eyes bore into mine, as if trying to read my thoughts, but I stared back, cold and defiant.

He nodded in satisfaction when the clones were finished with binding us. He turned and began to walk away, leading the way. The clone guarding Rio pushed him forwards, so him and Rio walked ahead of us prisoners. Richard’s guard shoved him forwards to walk about two metres behind him. Everyone else was forced to walk ahead of me, apart from Nicky. I glanced back to see her walking behind me.

So then, we walked, in a line, in this tunnel, with only a few flame-lit torches being held at the front, and the back. The clone guarding me and Rio were also holding torches.
