Also known as...: In order of usage, Andyrooroo, Andy, Andyroo, Anne.

Hey I'm Andrew, your average feather-in-his-cap, spring-in-his-step, sneaker-wearing, tongue-twisting, ecstacy-inducing, mind-bending, never-ending, trend-setting, floppy-fringed whatsisname. Lovable at first sight if you see me in the right light. Always willing to give second chances. And a third if you ask nicely enough. Hopelessly romantic and tragically retarded. Such a combination yields unpredictable results.
Initially shy, softspoken and quiet. Unabashed, witty and loud after the ice has broken. Proud ympacter, God-seeker, salvation-finder, redemption-searcher. I'm not a WANNABE, I'm a GONNABE. Optimist with a pessimistic edge, like a lollipop coated with glass. Always strive to be perfect, very seldom am. Dreams enough to grow a pair of wings. Realistic enough to tear them up.
Swings his moods like a monkey on a rope, but you seldom see the emotions fly. No tears in my eyes don't mean I'm not crying, no red in my eyes don't mean I ain't mad, no smile on my face don't mean I'm not happy, no frown on my brow don't mean I'm not thinking. Music is my drug and art my choice of poison. Performs well under pressure, but won't break under the peer kind.
Don't offer me your cash or flash me a badge, your friendship's good enough for me. Break my trust, watch the sparks fly. Not without forgiveness, but definitely human. Instantaneously horrific, gradually unbearable. Wait for the sky to clear up. It'll happen.
Self-testimony doesn't bring out the best in anyone, especially me. See other's for THEIR impression.
Toodles.
PLEASE DON'T:
Ask me too many questions.
Try to draw out my personal thoughts. Unless invited.
NEVER try to tell me who or what I am. How the hell would you know better than me?
NEVER EVER insult my religion. Please. It's just something you don't do.
NEVER EVER insult my family. People HAVE gotten hurt for making that mistake.
No racism. It tears this world apart and it hurts people.
Ok can everyone please keep any 'emo' comments to themselves. It's not that I care that I'm being labelled as one but gosh I've heard it so many times and frankly, it's getting quite tiresome
Call me Paul Twohill and I break your face. Grr.

Sadly, this post heralds my time in Singapore drawing to a sad close. I'll be heading back off to Japan in less than 24 hours, adn really, the thought of leaving the island is heart-wrenching. Time goes by way too quickly, and whatever time I had here, seemed way too short. Without a single doubt though, no matter how quickly it may have passed, those were the 2 GREATEST, MOST AWESOME months of 2008 so far, and I'm really glad I got to experience everything I did within that span of time. I thank God for all my friends here, friends who I consider my family, whether life-long mates, or new aqcuaintances, you all hold a really special place in my heart, and NOT ONE OF YOU is replaceable. It's gonna absolutely tear me to not see you again for another few months but hey, absence makes the heart grow fonder aye? The bonds between us will not snap - they'll only grow stronger, and I look forward to when I get to come back to see by just how much that bond has grown. There's lots of things I'd like to say to lots of you - and for some of you, trust me, there's
alot that I'm just dying to tell you but fear that now is not the right time. As a general thought though, ALL of you are awesome. I wanna thank all of you for giving me the happiest 2 months of 2008. Thanks for cheering me up, listening to my problems, laughing, smiling alongside me, dancing with me, chatting, hanging out, really these are all just everyday things, but they mean so much more to a person when the people they're closest to can only be seen every few months. I've done so much thinking over the course of my holiday and I realized that you guys are the best friends in the whole entire world, and I am so lucky to have all of you as friends, so lucky that God has blessed me with all of you guys. (Heh, I'm crying now as I type this. I'm such a wuss eh?) You know, I may never really say this to any of you or anything but really, even if I don't talk to you much, even if I may seem somewhat indifferent towards you, the truth is I <3 you. Seriously, I love you guys more than I can say and I'm sorry if I hurt you, was mean to you or took you for granted at any time. Really, you guys COMPLETE me. I mean, I don't care that I'm sleeping on the floor of a dusty house for 2 months. I don't care that there's noisy construction going on just 5 metres opposite my house, I don't care that I have to walk and sweat just to come out and meet you guys because ALL of you are MORE than worth all those discomforts. I don't know how many people actually care to read this blog of mine but to those that are, actually, even to those that aren't, YOU are a part of MY life and I can't imagine my life without you in it. I wholeheartedly thank God for blessing me with you guys and I love you guys planet-loads. Until the next time we meet again, bye :)

Dear dear dearest viewers, before you read any further, I just thought I'd point out a few rules that I hope you'll follow while going through this lil' blog of mine. You wanna listen closely now, some of these rules, when broken, are punishable by death.
Haha just kidding
Anyway here are the rules, actually let's just call 'em guidelines. Rules sound too strict for this space. So here are your GUIDLELINES:
1) Numero uno - Please do respect whatever I've written here. Whatever I post on this blog has a reason behind it and does actually mean something to me. So I just ask that you show a little respect.
2) Mind your manners please! This really actually applies to your LIFE as well. Be polite :)
3) Leading on from point 2, I do not tolerate any forms of discrimination; be it racial, sexual, whatever it is. It is definitely NOT appreciated here. Take it somewhere else.
4) Maturity is a MUST. Please keep all comments mature! Name-calling goes under 'immature' so if you were planning on doing that, please change your mind right now.
5) In the same way that prejudice and discrimination are absolute no-no's. I have a zero-tolerance policy regarding insults directed towards my friends, family and religion. Please do refrain from making offensive remarks about those subjects.
6) SH! It would be nice if you didn't spread whatever I've posted on here hahaha ;D
That aside, enjoy this blog, no matter how frequently, or rather INfrequently I update it. (I am known to go on unannounced 'breaks') Take care, God bless :)
Yours, ever so sincerely, Andyrooroo
