Delirious

They don't seems to have a six series rental man. I know coz I've checked. Ok maybe I didn't check EVERYTHING out. Even then, a three series cabriolet rental would cost almost five hundred bucks for just a day (and that, is a wedding package by the way). Ergh. So why am I checking out beemer car rentals at this late hour? One, coz I can't sleep. I'm supposed to go through the answers for my third assignment, but obviously I lack much self-discipline to get it over and done with. Maybe tomorrow eh. Two, I'd just been inspired. Whilst staring at my textbook. That I should make a beemer rental as my motivation. For what? Ihavenoideaseriously. It worked back then when I was in secondary school. My source of inspiration. My beacon of hope. The reason why I looked forward to going to school every single day. Yes, that one beemer sitting at the school carpark. IknowIwassuchascrewuphokay. But it totally worked! I swear! I even lost 30kg at that! And and, I passed my NAPFA for the first time ever! And when I was in pre-u, there wasn't even a single PB (ie, permanent beemer). My level of motivation spiralled down. I put on 10kg. I flunked my NAPFAs. And I totally screwed up my studies. Hah. My level of superficiality is reaaaallllllyyyyyyyyy INTENSE. Can't-help-it. So of course, I do not have a driving license. So all this talk about car rentals are utter garbage. The only thing that would make sense is, if I make it my motivation, that once I'd gotten the license (my spelling seems rather awkward ayy), I'd straightaway rent a beemer for a little "highway to heaven" thrillllll. Alright, back to reality. I so need to finish up all of my assignments DILIGENTLY. Knowing very well that the following two modules are gonna slaughter me really bad. Coz one of the textbooks totally look like a YELLOWPAGES though it is really a computer application textbook. And the other, is one foreign subject that I'd never even dream of taking up. VISUAL ARTS. What have I gotten myself into man? This paper chase crap is driving me towards the brink of insanity. Already.

Upcoming Events

I finally submitted my very first assignment yawww! One which took me forever to get it over and done with by the way. And they are still grading the paper. WTH. I kept checking the portal for my grade but it's not out yet. I'll start with the next assignment anyhows. Later. Ha ha.

Trying to regain my jogging momentum has been really torturous. I swear my body's aching all over. Still, it's quite a consolation to be able to complete my usual routine and not having the temptation to reduce them by a round or two. So I've got about three months to go before the Great Eastern Women's run, which I've signed up for by the way. Along with Imma and Fad and Hidayah A.

And I only found out yesterday that Amore Women's Day Out goodie bag is so much prettier than the previous year's. But what the hell laaa, I can't possibly sign up for BOTH Amore and GE right. Not much money to spare ayyy. Though I have to say, it'll be fun to go for Amore's with your group of girly girlfriends. The atmosphere is just funnnn. I recalled messing up kickboxing and feeling really awkward during BellyBlitz. But it was worthwhile. And the goodie bags were irresistable. Typical Singaporean siaaaa. Lol.

Last but not least, my dad got a couple of tickets for NDP (which he doen't want to go for obviously). Though not exactly for the seats at the floating platform which I'm bummed about still. Coz I sent so many entries through the website to get the tix and can't seems to score even a single piece. So yeah, the tix my dad got are meant for the event at the Padang where there'll be some huge screens for us to watch the NDP and perhaps some other form of performances and something something I guess. Oh, and plus goodie bags entitlement. So I thought of going for the thingy with my cousin. TAPI DIA STEP NAK BLAJAR. Like whatever ayy. So kental. Whahahaha!

Alright man. I have to go. Gotta start on my next assignment. Here's anticipating the goodie bags from the up and coming events (LOL!). Till then. Over and OUT!

When The Sky Was Pretty

Headed to VEEVOH the day after my last working day at Mango. We really wanted to catch the sunset but the sun was hiding behind that building. So the pretty pretty sky made up for the lack of sunset visuals.

Old School and Legends

I am so elated now that my month-long term at mango is over, I can't make myself go to bed yet. I'd actually plan to go for a jog later but I dunno man...I probably won't be able to hear the alarm clock ring if I don't get my sleep NOW.

I really miss the stadium hokay. I've not been working out for for one full month now. Saved for that one day when I'd begrudgingly dragged myself down to the tracks in the morning, and that had me totally zonked out on the job. Made even worse coz I was on the late shift where work ends at ten.

Ok ok, I should get my sleep.

But first, just let me tell you some something something. Haha.

Like it took me forever to break the ice with my colleagues that I only found out, on my LAST DAY, that two of the full time staff there were actually my seniors back in secondary school! Gawwwdddd, I am that horrible man. I swear I've a major difficulty when it comes to extending my social network. It sucks like that. But I am really afraid of people. Haa.

So when I got home, I flipped through a couple of dusty secondary school yearbook. And then I saw the class photos of my two colleagues. And then I got really nostalgic when I saw MY class photo in the yearbooks. It sure brought back a lot of memories. Though I tend to get wary when it comes to talking about my secondary school days. I mean, I love the school a lot but the experiences I had to go through doesn't quite add up. I faced too many conflicting issues with myself and most of the time I was really in my own world. And it's weird talking about it now coz I do believe that I have moved away from that phase. Well of course there could possibly still be some remnants left in me...it's just hard to describe...

Moving on.

I'd been browsing Bon Jovi's videos on youtube. The justification of legendary musicians...proven by the different time and period when they sang the same song, and yet still make it sound true to its original take. It's really captivating. I watched one of the Living On A Prayer videos presumably the very first one, and then I proceeded to watch the one recorded in 1995 - a live concert in London, and then one in 2000 and yet another recorded in 2008 - concert in Japan. All showmanship maintained the same energetic vibe, and all sounded very much the same to the original one. I shall find some time to embed all the videos soon.

Till then, I'm off (and happily unemployed).

Good News and Bad News

I shall start off with the bad one ayyy...

I actually saw a HUGE ASS rat going across the pathway I was on. It was dammnn SICK hokay. Coz I totally stopped on my track and went blank. So now I am getting even more fearful of going back home so late at night. Ahhh yesss, W-T-F right? I am afraid to get back home sooo late coz of some lurking rats. And NOT because of any possibilites of GHOULISH encounters. Stupid. Stupid rats. And stupid cats in my neighbourhood are probably going on a diet. Bleah.

As for the good news...

ANGGUN IS GONNA COME UP WITH

A SPANKING NEW ALBUM!

I AM TOTALLY THRILLED!!!

I need a credit card or something. So that I can purchase both the english and french version online. I really do not wanna illegally download the french version like what I did for Luminiscence coz I totally have no means to get them legally, and they are not even sold in those music stores in Singapore which made them all the more inaccesible for me. I can't possibly compromise on good quality music yet again. On that note, I sure as hell hope that Muzika records will bring in the english version. They have to, they MUST!

Random Nothings

Friendster keep screwing me up mannnn. I've not been able to log in for two days already! Boooo. I am currently not feeling well though I am not too sure if it's the full blown virus, knowing very well that my immune system has always been superb. So much so that sometimes I'd actually WISH that I could really really fall sick. Hah. Anyway the gums near my wisdom tooth is really rotting. I swear it's giving me bad breath. The reason why I've been chugging down packs of Fisherman's Friend strong mint. I need to figure out what to get for my dad with my first pay. I'd already bought my mum a handbag. Yet another one actually. Lol. I looooveeeee bags so much that I'd made a pledge to get bags/handbags as presents for people from now onwards. So yeah, I don't know what to get for my dad. Really. Pens and wallets are totally out of the question. Are motorbike (I'm talking VESPA here) helmets cheap? Or I can get him a new swivel chair coz the one he's currently using is not at its best condition. Maybe a watch. Damn, I have to come up with something yawwww. Like very soon. Coz like I said, I'd already given my mum a something something. So it's obviously not nice to not give dad anything. Well, HE actually pointed that out last night. Haha! And I'm still stuck thinking what to decide on. Boo. Ooohh did you hear? There's gonna be a Screen Actors Guild of America strike. If it really happens, it's gonna halt the production of so many TV programmes. FOR THE BLOODY SECOND TIME. The WGA strike was bad enough hokay. I had to wait FOREVER for Gossip Girl and Ugly Betty 2 to come out. Not only that, Cashmere Mafia got killed for good thanks to that damn strike. Urrghhh. Anyhows, I watched Pushing Daisies for the first time last night. I have to say, it's so bloody awesome. Who in the world could ever possibly think of putting something so fairytale-ish as a TV drama mannnn? It's so brilliant. It reminds me of those days when I watched Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Alice In Wonderland, Hansel and Gretel and Jack and the Beanstalk on telly when I was V young. This new series that I'm reading, Clique, has this sickening way of "diversifying" the common exclamation "Oh my god!" into "Ehmygod!". Funny or what. Ha ha ha.

060708

Today's date look so pretty that I feel obliged to make an update.

For one, I am starting to get the hang out of my job now. It used to be quite a drag but I have been able to find plenty of sources for self-amusement. Like for instance, the numerous trips to LJS for most of my breaks are no longer solely for my purpose of escaping the lunch crowd. It is, in fact, an awsome place to people-watch from and if you found the perfect spot, you would actually be able to count BMWs.

Trust me, there won't come a day when marine parade would face a beemer drought. Hah. Another good thing is that I could actually hang out at Borders during my breaks and read free flow of magazines. I have yet to spend my breaks at the arcade though. I have been very cautious about the whole idea. Knowing how I could get easily hooked and end up spending half of my pay at Timezone. And that is so not worth it.

Anyhow, I have stocked up on my stationaries recently. It has been so long since I last stepped into Popular at marine parade, I'd forgotten how it looked like. In fact the outlet has gone through yet another renovation and this time the Harris section is no longer there. I have to say, that particular Popular outlet tend to bring back a wave of nostalgia in me.

I could recall those times when I'd call my dad up at his workplace and told him to bring me to Popular after he's done with his work for that day. On days when my dad was agreeable to the plan, he would pick me up and we would head over to the bookstore together. Most of the time I'd leave the store with a whole stack of books. It was from the various trips there that I really cultivated my reading habit.

I remembered leaving the store with tons of Enid Blyton's compilation of short stories. And then I'd upgraded to getting my hands on the more "intense" ones, such as The Naughtiest Girl and Mallory Tower. After which I progressed to reading Sweet Valley series, The Babysitters Club and my all time favourite, Nancy Drew. Oh, and there was yet another all time favourite classic, The Secret Garden.

I actually bought a whole load of books ayyy. Up to this point in time, I wish I had actually kept ALL of my book collection. Unfortunately, I wasn't much of a sentimentalist. I know I gave away most of my books to some charity drive or something, some get passed on to the younger relatives, some just morbidly disappeared. Heh.

I do still subscribe to the whole ritual of getting stacks of brand new books as and when I want to. Though I hardly ever do it at Popular now, thanks to the frequent books warehouse sale held at the Expo. Ooooh, and just recently, I bought two box sets of the Clique series on sale at Borders. Very much like Gossip Girl. Very twelve year olds. Lol.
