caked~

im loving the morning's weather for accommodating with me on this day of days, there isn't a finer morning one could have the luck of waking up to :)

i spent the time watching all the previous episodes of Prison Break that i had missed out over the past few weeks and did some reading by the open door...

the guys bought me cake yesterday and fed all of it to my face... we never even got to eat any of it which was such a pity seeing as how im sure it would've tasted swell~ clean up was a bitch but i had fun. With friends like them there's no needs for enemies really :)

party tonight, after party tomoro night~
no rest for the weary :p

holocaust~

today's suppose to be the solar eclipse of the sun by the moon or something like tat, but the rain pretty much ruined most of it... talk about cosmic irony~

everyone huddled around the tv to watch the live telecast of it on channel U, but it was just a bunch of reporters interviewing scientists and random pedestrians, like we give a shit bout all that.. just show us the bleedin eclipse already~

i didn't stay long enough to see if they actually did...
weather was nice and cool though~

aside from the fact that M** got H1N1 and everyone's freakin out bout whether or not we're gonna get locked up... everything's just dandy~ my first day of school the other day was awesome, it was a journalism class & it was super interesting, i was really intrigued.

the sudden stimulation has sparked a reading frenzy in me... i'm constantly lookin out for new reading material- mags, newspapers, books, texts, etc.

went to the library and got a book bout the Holocaust... kinda retrospective for the likely hood of impending Doom judging by how everything in the world's fallin apart~

Hmmm.... better stock up on Cheetos~

love like a sunset~

the one thing i can say about how my weekend went was that even though for the most parts of it i was totally wasted and judgment impaired, i still remember having an incredible time~

i thought Friday night's escapades were bad enough with the strange incident with "Creepy Old Guy" and animal psychology 101... but then come Saturday night's shenanigans which was no.2 on my list of alcoholic endeavours we don't talk about... the first one being the night of the Pineapple Malibu~

we don't talk about that night anymore...

my throat feels like shit, i've been speaking with a low gruff all day and did nothing to contain my bedhead~ taking into consideration how god's decided to make the weather today gentle, hot tea and a good movie is all i need right now to rejuvenate from the week's adventures~

i've been downloading tons of chick flicks & now my heart's all mushy from watching Sleepless in Seattle which has renewed my confidence in destiny's clasp on love~

im sure i'll get around to being cynical again in a few days time...
so, just shut up and let me be~


:)

a thursday night in july~

hello~

this month's been full of surprises. i find myself constantly occupied with things to do. For the first few days i was hardly at the computer as much and i quite enjoyed the feeling. I should try & make this more of a habit...

In the times that i'm free i read. Even in the times when i'm not suppose to which is most aggravating to my peers. It just takes one good book to put the fun (not to mention momentum) back into reading again, kudos to that~

Aside from the dreams of death my mom and Winson's been having of me and the mysterious blue sex-ball floating around in the pond, camp's been cool. Our first ever Night Training acouple of days ago was a hoot, but damn was i exhausted.... i blame my fatigue on the frequent binging of the packets of "MAMEE" and "Chicken Rings" in our pantry. Their fucking MSG Bombs but damn do they taste gooood~

i've got quite a hand full of places to go to this weekend and i'm hoping to attend them all if i can. Sometimes i wish cars weren't so unaffordable. Or maybe hurry up and discover the science behind teleportation, im sure that'll soon make roads obsolete.

It's the 21st century after all, you'd figure this kinda stuff would have been invented by now. The world's moving faster now, only fair people learn to catch up to it...



in more ways than one~

2 steps forward, 1 step back~

the Email finally came to announce our way overdue promotion from Private to Lance Corporal after being in the Army for more than a year now. We were supposed to be LCP since May but due to whatever processing delay, we only got it 2 mths later...

better late than never i suppose~

Went to my 10 year high school anniversary dinner 2 nights ago with a few of my old classmates. It's been a long time since i've set foot on the school grounds, lot of memories.. mostly bad ones, but that was a long time ago lol~

met acouple of my old teachers, non of them could recognize me anymore... i was incredibly low profile back then so im not surprized. Food was mediocre, the dinner shows were lame and i wasn't really paying attention to any of it to begin with... it was cool just to hang out with my friends i suppose, it didn't have to be over dinner at a formal event like this~

-------------------------------

Made the final preparations for my studies yesterday. All i have to do now is just show up for class in 2 weeks time~ i was feeling bold & took 3 modules for the upcoming semester...

-Journalism & News Broadcasting
-Public Relations
-Advertising

i'm definitely syched about it :)

headed over to Delphi to get my portfolio and stayed for some financial talk bout saving money and all that. it was okay, i thought it would be ment more for like "working class adults" but it was rather general, think young adults would have been able to relate to it as well, so yeah~

left town and headed to Tampines to meet V & had my first meal of the day at Carl Jr. before catching Revenge of the Fallen. Alot of people said it was awesome but most of them, knowing how my taste in movies depends mostly on plot and dialogue, said i might not enjoy it as much since it was just riddled with tons of CGI-ed fight scenes & very little character development...

so i kept an open mind... somehow i didn't think i would walk away from a Transformers movie cursing and swearing...

when i saw Optimus Prime drop of from the Helicopter and transform in slow motion i couldn't help but giggle like an 8 year old boy... i think the plot of alright, for a movie bout Alien Robots invading earth, it doesn't have to be so realistic~

Loads of fight scenes of both the Robot & Human kind... i think the movie was kinda showing off how advance the U.S. military is with their airships and submarines etc. there was a subtle "don't fuck with America" message in the whole thing, maybe u caught it as well~ lol

the other annoying thing bout the show was how it kept playing "21 Guns" & "New Divide" over and over again... their nice song & all but a lil variety would be nice~

overall the movie wasn't great or anything like that... but the fight scenes were rather epic. It failed to leave an impression on me but it took me on a journey and that's the next best thing a movie can give :)

u can't go wrong with a Transformers movie lah~

Lastly, i'd like to wish a bunch of my friends born in July a happy 21st/22nd Birthday...

i sing you to me~

the start of the day,
for me...
begins once the music starts to play~

before i even put on my shoes, my earphones are dawned first. After taking a moment to scroll through the tracks... once the music starts, thats when the day can begin~

hello July!
Great things await me this month~
i look forward to the events that shall derive from it :)

a month that has brought rain to this humid land, and perhaps a little hope to new beginnings. Tons of birthdays to be celebrated in the upcomming weeks, not to mention my own. i have at least 7 parties to attend lol. "Woe is me" to have to decide which i friend i must forfeit seeing as how i can't possibly attend them all.

i spent most of the time in the Ops Room reading to Winson the "Macabre tales of Singapore and Malaysia in the 50's" aloud... it was this random Ghost storybook he'd randomly found and brought to the flight.

The pages were fallin out...
its illustrations substandard...
hahaha~

it was written by some Malayan Journalist named Othman Wok in the 50's and was published later by his eldest daughter in 1991. (so says the Preface...)

the stories where rather tame, not the least bit gruesome but fun to recite surprisingly. The language written was comparable to that of a high school student well-versed in his primary tongue. It lacks certain imagination & depth but to be fair, it was "old school" horror so much shouldn't be expected~

i finally finished watching "Australia" on my itouch after having uploaded it like a week ago. The landscape was like another character all by itself, not bad at all~ i quite liked the accents of Huge Jackman and Nicole Kidman in the movie too.

Couple of people died, which was sad, but understandable. Overall a well-to-do show, not exactly mind-blowing, but it did tickle my emotions just a bit...

Not a bad way to spend three hours :)

"Just because it is, doesn't mean it should be..."



ciao~
