21

21... 1, 2, 21.... MG, not.
It's the show.
A random night at the cinema.
Random stuffs always hold their own uniqueness. :)

A reason

Andrea Chow is back on air on Channel NewsAsia. Sweet.
Just the reason to be a regular watcher again. Haha. Ok it sounds bimbotic.

Hort Park

Saturday was spent tucked away in a green place that sprout on whatever available land that is surrounded by tall buildings with reflective glass panels for windows. If you can visualise, it is a greenhouse with all the heat reflected, albeit a roof. Yes, I am talking about the Hort Park. A segment of the new South Ridges that opened to much hype a couple of weeks ago. And boy I was not surprised by the hordes of people clad in their most comfortable footwear and armed with the umbrellas and head covering items. After all, the sun that day was unforgiving, merciless, unleashing what seems to be all its wrath upon us, paying back its absence on the past fre dark rainy days. It is fun to do something different once in a while, but I was thankful for not getting charred and burnt under that sunshine. :P




Not much shots, but do enjoy the mediocre effort.

The green wall of the T3? :)


































Something for the decoration of the showroom














Broken down already so fast?















Where do you want to go today?



A visit to a potential dengue breeding site?






The white in the green









A little walk for the rest of your life..












Ok it's quite troublesome to arrange the photos. Shall not do it in future unless I am damn free.

So I'm finally done with A Short History of Nearly Everything. Not bad a read, but might be a little dry for some people. Well, you gotta try it to know. I will recommend it. :) Started on The Black Swan, will be done by next week.

Took a crap ippt test today. It was a joke, a total joke. But dinner at Botak Jones made up for it. The past few days are rather lazy given the companion of dark skies and cool weather. Lazy to the max.

A show followed by dinner and then chilling out. It was great. Nice ambience for a great chat, any time at night.

Chocolate is supposed to make you a happier person, but I don't think I am now. Plenty seems to be in my mind now, but now it doesn't seem like the time to put things down. The mood is not there? Another time I guess. Or another place.

Cheese and 78 dollars

The old has to make way for the new when the time arrives.The system is now running on 2Gb memory at long last, it's about damn time too. The impact is not impressively great, but it is significant enough to feel. Especially multi-tasking between iTunes, Firefox(a few windows) and of course WoW. The biggest beneficiary has got to be WoW. The loading lag after each ride is more or less, gone? :)

The PC Show was a killer, as usual. Laptops flew off the stacks on the pellet, clinging onto the hands of humans, of all ages and sizes. Every booth that I walked past; every item that I cast my eyes upon; every brochure that I glanced at; there was this familiar voice trying its best to made its way into my head with this simple phrase,"It's time for a replacement, time to buy me home!" Temptations galore! The biggest of them all, is perhaps that simple piece of white. I greedy,am not. Perhaps it is shameless lust. But no sooner than that, rivals began to appear in the form of the cute and, more sceptical to be a subject of an impulsive buy due to its attractive and affordable tag, of the UMPCs. Think Eee PC, 398 no less. Oh did I forget to mention Product Red? Oh no I didn't, I won't allow that. :P

The sane and rational consumer did not fall to the dark side, he did fought the One Ring. The only time he appeared to thread the borders was that highly suspicious $1 buy, that bundle buy which he assumed it was not for sale in the first place. Hmm. Fishy. But still, that lone cd in its sleeve found its way into his bag.

And so the take away from the session was just 2 pieces of ram modules. Despite the visual onslaught he was subjected to, the damage suffered was a moderate 2 figure. Damage control at one of its most effective instances. How every, the sight of people carting away Sony Bravia is intriguing. Cheap? Good? Or simply excess bad batch they can't wait to get rid? Hmm.

Cheese was involved in all my meals since 12am on the 14th. One bad, the other two, good so to speak. Interesting discussions and conclusions about the gender difference kept things going. But it seems that has always been the highlights of all the conversations. A little sightseeing followed after dinner. Traffic, both organic and inorganic were of abundance. The sad truth in life. The paths that people take. Freewill? Not? The choice is always there, choosing is another matter altogether. Humans are creature of comfort. *I simply cannot recall that term I want to use to describe the following*, period.

Question of the day: Did you / have you missed your parents when you were young.

Honestly, I really don't know how to answer it... ... Perhaps you MIGHT pick up something from all the posts here, maybe you will not. I really don't know. Because I know that as when I am typing these, some feelings at that time, was subconsciously infused into these very words and sentences. Good night.

Nothing much have happened.Probably the significant event was I've gotten a new helmet? Poor.

I'm still stuck forever on this current read. Must have been my slowest read, ever, beside textbooks that is. Anyway, the black swan found its way into my home also. :) I so need to stop.

Looking forward to the weekend with no particular reason at all. Perhaps weekends have always been associated with fun and joy, not that I am working or anything though. Maybe it is psychological. Bah.

Here I am sitting here with my lips slightly open, drool forming threatening to leak anytime, with the sole purpose of waiting for the oral paste on the ulcer to dry a little before heading to bed. My lips felt abnormally dry from the undue and unfamiliar exposure that I subjected them to, I look like an idiot, period. Time to hit the sack.


*I just miss those days... Can I ever have them back?*

305

was the time I started writing, and it was the post number.

Dinner was at Changi Village just now. It never fails to bring back the memories of the time spent at this familiar area. It seems only like yesterday that we just ran those routes, those running routes that occupy our mornings, everyday. Dinner was the usual noodles finished off with the usual red tea dessert. Full. Satisfied. Great.

Spent a great deal of time chatting over various topics at various places. Today was all about travelling from places to places, one cold environment to another. At one point, the scale read 23 degree Celsius, not sure if anyone realised it too. I am secretly observant sometimes(?) I never made it a point to purposely remember what have been discussed, but always I can seem to recall whenever the need arise. Weird. Haha. Oh wells. Witnessing insane queues for supposedly nice food is what I think nothing new to Singaporeans. The word of mouth is powerful. For every instance intended, or otherwise. I know.

So I left the shop with a single purchase. I know. I should not have. But it was a Chinese book. So it should not add towards the pile waiting at home right? Haha, an argument that I cannot win no matter what. Walking around the bookshop, it was rather empty for a Saturday afternoon. The air conditioning was surprising friendly despite the wet weather and sparse shopper population. Book shops, tend to have this therapeutic effect on me, not to mention it is a great place to people watch sometimes, sometimes. It was after brunch at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. A cup of Moroccan Mint tea latte was a good substitute for the C poison that we have grown to love and hate. Caffeine. It was around noon time.

So I left home just before it poured heavily. Horrendous jam on the CTE, at least traffic wasn't at a standstill, just slow. Massive queue at the Cairnhill exit. *Firefox crashed unexpected on me at this time of writing, was pretty thankful for the auto saving function the the blog, else this will just be a simple one liner of unpleasant words :)* Early shoppers to town on a wet Saturday morning I guess? I was online for awhile. I woke up to a phone call. A wake up call actually. But I didn't take the call. Not because I didn't wake, but because I sense that the weather was bad. It was dark at that given time, it felt colder in the air condition. But I woke text-ed the caller. It was just a simple 3 hour sleep sleep/nap from the morning earlier.

So this Saturday was spent like that. And by now my wake up song/music, as some of you may know which it is, has perhaps spun 19 times on the loop in my iTunes since I started writing. No particular reason why I chose it though. It was perhaps one of those nights. Cool wind through the room, a tendency for rain to fall any time at this time for the past few nights, looking at photos of places which brings back some memories, intentionally and not. Perhaps saying that we cannot remember is, making a subconscious choice burying the memory away. Perhaps? There is some truth in it for certain people, sometimes at least.

Something to end, I cannot see myself ever arriving at that point now, or even wearing it, I don't even dare to think about it. At least not with how things are going now. For those of you who has not a single clue what I am referring to, speculate not, discuss not, speak not, ask not. For individual interpretation is subjective.

Every event has its chance of the outcome turning out into the very result that you started out not to achieve.

So it spun 26 times. Good night.

Right so it has been a couple of days since I last posted anything. One week to be exact. Couldn't really remember what happened in the week that past though. Getting old. Bah.

Watched a couple of episode of the HK drama Healing Hands 3. Think ER in Hong Kong. Coupled with complex relationships, you get the point.

But one thing struck me in the closing minutes of the episode last night. It was this conversation between Sarah and Henry. Not the exact, but the essence of it goes something like this:

Henry: (Talking about the missed chances with Sarah).. Sometimes I wonder if it is the wrong person, or the wrong timing.
Sarah: 5 years. 5 years later my cancer has returned. Though it is not cervical, it is now in my pelvis. Bone cancer.
Sarah: Celebrating my birthday today? I don't even know if I will be around this time next year. What is there to celebrate?
Sarah: (Not wanting to be a burden to Henry, and choosing to suffer alone) I am sorry, I am the wrong person.
Henry: Sarah, nobody knows for sure if they will be around next year.
Henry: I will celebrate your birthday with you every year. (Enter into an embrace with Sarah)

Something to make you think about the relations that humans share with each other.

On a side note, car wash never fails to affect me they way they do. *Refer to the car wash post some time back* It was a pleasant trip that night with Gummy Bears in the car. Oops. :)
