Work, white chocolate mocha and potato salad.

Oh and apparently my bookmark didn't make it back, in place was half a dozen on Krispy Kreme. And a slab of emergency chocolate. :)

I went running this evening. I thought I should re-examine some things. There was a slight drizzle as I left the house, but heck? The gamble paid off, it didn't pour.

Anyway, this song came up as I was typing. So I thought, why not.



Enjoy it~



No?

Earth Hour

Earth hour was not as great as expected? It packed a new idea full of excitement, but I guess we are all too busy to take some time off and think of the lesser, such as the environment, yet. I let some photos speak to you.

Before the Event

During the eventRandom
Woman
Ghastly woman with Apple
Another one
After 60 minutes, there was light again

So that was Earth hour for you? Nothing really spectacular in this part of the world. We bought fast food and had a sort of picnic on the steps outside Esplanade. Wasn't too bad I guess. Sitting under the night sky as the event happen. Talking about stuffs the entire time. Talking about things which I guess we will only tell each other. LOL. Hor? We talked about so much that we totally forgot about time. So much that I don't know where to start telling you here. So I shall not. Yup. Probably best saved for another time. Or not. I guess we covered most aspects of life? Quite funny actually. And lots of revalations!! OMG!!!!!!! Haha. But well I guess we had fun amidst the anti-climax? I knew I did. It is always nice to spend time with people that you can talk to. And no, NO ECONOMICS SENSE here. I really mean it. :)

If life is a blur, it probably looked something like this

Or like this?
Perhaps this?

Whatever it is, there should be a light in the dark that you can look to. If you can't find it, it is probably because you are looking at the wrong direction. Or simply you don't know what you really want. I know I don't. Well.

Earth Hour

It is Earth Hour today. Don't forget. :)


I'm sure it will turn out okay. It always has. And I know it will. Somehow, always.

Hmm, I took a break and watched a certain dvd again. Yes, I know. The 739759201th time that I have watched it. :) Probably the tune that will take me to sleep tonight. Enjoy.




Good night...

One of her best songs, imo. :) Sweet.



And my favourite song from him. :)

Impromptu drinking session @ Holland V. I like. Alcohol is good. Haha. Alcohol is supposed to compound whatever the feelings that you are having. I guess it probably did. Maybe I can sleep better tonight with lesser things on my mind. Yeah, I wanted to forget.

Maybe this is the song of the night.

Waiting for someone to sing me her song

It is so easy to tell others. An advice, an encouragement, a pat on the back for a job well done, criticisms. It is never easy to do it to yourself. Try getting those things through my 50 inch thick skull first. I know I can't.

I know I must. Not because I have to, but because I chose to. One small step at a time?


I never imagined me say this, but, would you be my friend?

Instant bowl noodles.

A sad song for tonight.



终于还是走到这一天
要奔向各自的世界
没人能取代记忆中的你
和那段青春岁月

一路我们曾携手并肩
用汗和泪写下永远
拿欢笑荣耀换一句誓言
夜夜在梦里相约

放心去飞勇敢地去追
追一切我们未完成地梦

放心去飞勇敢地挥别
说好了这一次不掉眼泪


Will it go away? Like really go away?

Instant bowl noodles.


Will it go away? Like really go away?

Followed by this. They are actual set list. Crush tour in Zurich. 2000



Followed by this...



I think Richie is amazing.
But I love the 2nd song more than these two. :)

Going in one big fat circle, and back. And over and over again. Why are all too familiar with these things? Just feel like shit huh? I guess that is what humans do. We like find shit for ourselves and its our forte to clean it up again.

I guess we are all in the way, predictably irrational. I mean, after all, it is what this book is trying to tell us? No? I will tell you when I am done reading it. :)

There is this interesting girl sitting at the table next to me. And her perfume scent is kind of familiar. And I think she is from Temasek Business School. Don't ask me how I know, i know. Haha. Oops. Hmm.. I feel rather distracted now. But I am steadily into the end of chapter two of my book already. No worries man. Haha.

The boyfriend came, and shortly later, they left. Haha. That's all folks. :)

Oh, another interesting lady came along, with her green tea frap topped with whipped cream. Hmm. People watching was interesting today. Stark contrast to last night I reckon. :)

As you can see here, I was rather bored. Haha. But I am onto chapter eight already. Taking a break soon. :)

*edit*
Bread with ham seems like a staple nowadays for me. Even for dinner. And peanut butter never fails to make me feel a little bit happy when I feel down. Especially creamy ones. No I don't really like chunky ones. And since I bought a new bottle of peanut butter tonight, I think it says a lot. But no I don't just eat them, I must have them with bread.

On a side note, the wife of actor Liam Neeson passed away after sustaining a fatal brain trauma due to a skiing accident. Why am I telling you this? Because it reminded me of a role that Liam played a couple of years back. The role of Daniel whose wife passed away in the movie and he has to come to term with her passing, along with his step son. These all seem so surreal. Sigh..

Re.re.
Via sms.

You know, it is never the same after you pick something up and attempt to put it down again. It is so tough..

So much for reading. I end up reading the booklet for the 22nd Singapore International Film Festival. And I have shortlisted the films that I want to watch. The catch, inflation driven pricing. ><


Anyway, don't think I am in the mood to do anything right now actually. Somehow, some why, somewhat. And to think that I have even lost the mood to read my new book. Haha. Hmm.

Oh. Reminder to self to get dinner later.

Added @ 2111h:

I learned about the oil sands of Alberta, energy savings and carbon reductions, and even a little bit about blue whales. And whale flukes look so darn awesome. Imagine getting smacked by one. Haha. Sick humour. But just imagine. It will literally smack the daylight out of us. Isn't it great? *insert grin*.

Next is perhaps the jaguar. Awesome predator. Big cat. Nasty cat? Not I reckon. Will read about it next. And probably about the Sinai peninsula.

Added @ late in the night:

Fast food junkie again. Don't blame others, blame me. :)
Oh I forgot to mention I bought a poster yesterday. :)
Reminder that alcohol makes people high! :)

I went to watch The Days. Then shorts by ITE and NUS. Though the difference in the standard, we can't expect the same stuffs right? There is much potential to be tap. Go tap!

Red has been getting nothing but nice feedback. ^^ ^^

There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.

You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.

To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.

Red came in today. This morning. Sweet. Sweet. Sweet. I am instantly in love with her. I love her so much that I have already in mind, the companion that I am getting her. Didn't take me any effort to come up with the engraving when I was ordering. I guess the mood was simply there, perfect for the quote. I guess it has been a cumulative effect for the past week.

Steamboat for dinner on a cold wet day. Not bad. Though.

And you know how certain places you tend not to visit after certain happenings, it might just be happening again. But I know it should not be that bad. Like how you can retrieve data after a reformat, I know it will always have its place. I know. I just now. Somethings just can't be replace. :)

Oh did I mention Red arrived already? :)

You always sMilE but in your eyes your sorrow shows, yes, it shows.. 

Wet day. Grey day. Lazy day. Kinokuniya day. Big Mac to top it off.

Oh Shuffle shipped out already. I am waiting.

And, I wrote a note.




A closure of sorts if ever considered.. :))

I woke up for Naxx. Surprisingly. I didn't even set alarm. Oh well. Must be the body knew there was nothing on today, so my as well do Naxx? Haha.

Weather went from sunny, to cloudy, to eventually drizzling. Hmm. Probably I was like that too. The energy level that is. Even so that I didn't want to go out. Oh well.

Oh what is worst, when I decided to stop by McD to grab some supper for myself just now, it was closed for washing and cleaning up! >< compounding huh.


And it is nice to have people that you can talk to. I heart. :)

Residual effect? Very likely....

I think I am a little cold. What should I do? And it is not literal cold, thank you very much.




So is anyone telling me?

Today, I bought a 16gb thumb drive for $46.90. Because I don't know where I place my white one.

Today I stepped into HMV and bought 2 dvds. Four Weddings and A Funeral and Saving Private Ryan. Because they are going @ $12.95.

Today, I realised that McDonald's at Braddell changed their menu. No more grill chicken foldover. So I ate double cheese burger. And the woman gave me salt-ed fries when I told her I didn't want. I didn't kick up a fuss. It was Friday the 13th, things are supposed to go wrong. Though I don't subscribe to that mantra. It's all part of the 'marketing' thingy for this day. Ha.

Today I took a nap in the evening. Had my first dream in days. Or at least what I could remember as my first dream in days. Turn out to be a semi nightmare. Haha. At least there were some actions in my sleep huh? :)

Today I found my book vouchers from last year. Not expired yet. But weekend in the bookshop is a killer. Coupled with additional discounts. I should wait. Or should I? I don't have a music player with me now. Bad time for bookshop. Sigh.

Seems that nothing has been going right for me. Shit snowballs. I know. They do. Oh well. Hope your week ended well. It's the weekend.


Someone tell me if I am doing the right thing? It's deliberate, and it is wrong, and I jolly well know it..

I took a shower, had 2 slices of bread with peanut butter, took a drink from the fridge. I think I am ready for round 2. Of? Go figure.




We are all bias...

My sister bake in her free time. And she is very free. So she bake a lot. Make sense? Haha.

Oh Bobbi is here to stay again. He's saying hi. :) At least there is someone to talk to when the house is empty.

A lot of food, for a hungry night. Too full to remember anything about taking the empty plates.

As I mourn the passing of the black, I ordered the red to take its place. Finally. Before they are taken off the shelves.

Sometimes, life just feels this way? In a blur. Whether the passing of it, or any, it is a blur. Or maybe my life has been shitty nowadays. Haha. Tend to have a compounding effect. Perhaps I am not at rock bottom. Yet.

It is Friday the 13th.


I don't know what to write... Or where should I even start... Consciously thinking of what comes out from my mouth is shag. Even unnatural.

Botulinum toxin

I feel like one. Not so much the toxic aspect. Too much of an utility? Why? Maybe I feel that I have been trying too much things for too long a time. Wait, what am I saying? Haha. I don't know. Just being random.

IT show is later. Time to do my recce.

Anyway, I have been wanting to share this ever since I finished that book some time back. I kept forgetting. Somehow, today, I was reminded of it during one of my astral traveling session. Enjoy.
前世五百次回眸,才换得今生擦肩而过.

@ 1725h, ok I am off. Out. Somewhere I will be when I am alone. :)

*@2000h, Venti White Chocolate Mocha, skinny, triple shot, with whip half finished. It got cold. But still. Refreshing. Nice. Bittersweet. I finished my so called philosophy book. I must say, alcohol will definitely make it more interesting and easier to understand. Haha, I have no doubt about it.

I hate to start on The Wealth of Nations. If my memory serves me right, the only book that I left unread is probably The Time Traveler's Wife. Hmm. I feel I need more books.

and I didn't make my french toast or fried eggs for breakfast/lunch today. And the ham was still intact as I left the house. Wasn't in the mood I guess. Perhaps it was sheer laziness. Can't blame me for waking up at almost a ninety minute intervals through the sleep. Tonight feels like a sleepless night again, with all that caffeine. Oh well. We shall see.

As I type, there seems to be an increasing number of people strolling in. Couples, students, friends, loners. Each seems to be content in their own world of their drinks, hot, cold, holding their papers, books, magazines, conversations, laptop, internet, gossips, textbooks, homework, or simply just letting time pass them with the coffee in hand.

At this junction, I feel, okay I knew, that whole milk makes the drink better. But drinking a venti size mug of milk @ this hour is simply no go. Might be the reason for causing the drink to head towards the bitter spectrum. What make it more obvious was perhaps the noises coming from my stomach unit. Which reminded me, I have not eaten. is this considered waking up to a cup of coffee? Haha. Cold humour. And I think the English is kind of bad in this post. Not really processing what I am typing. Wait, since when is my English good? Bah. Haha. :P

Oh and the barista that I so-called knew, I don't know her name, I guess both of us worked on the basis of looks, haha, is not on shift today.

The time now is 2020h.

Fairy tale. Not.

Subway, two white chip cookies, ice barley, toast with butter, teh si, two soft boil egg. Go figure. Oh and alcohol taste funny after its six month period. Haha.

These all probably made me more cynical. What else. As usual. Haha. :)

What else do you want me to say. I hold my peace. Within. :)

Oh. It is amazing how time passes late at night. Or early the day. Its your context.

My LJ is defunct. I need a new space. Or there is always another option to save all the hassles. Hmm..

I think I need to shop. Two cameras can make a perfect couple now. :)) And perhaps, the weekend discount is a good time to buy some books.

Fairy tales are the because they do not happen in real life... In a way, I felt silly. Haha.

Where should I start. It feels like there is so much I want to talk about tonight. Let me try. Weather first? It was a wet wet wet day today. So much that the temperature the entire day was so darn good. I wish for temperature like these everyday. Also, the wet and grey weather brings with it, a certain sense of melancholy. :)

Actually that is all I wanted to say. Really?

Have you ever felt how sometimes, there are certain episodes of life that seems to be making a mockery out of you? Like how things that you have longed to have happen really happened at a time when you least wanted it to? Or how things that you have wanted and hoped for, only seems for it to be on the top floor of a castle guarded by many dragons and treacherous traps? Of course I meant the obstacles along the way. No doubt the obstacles were in place to weed out the weak-hearted and reward those true to their causes.

What if, someone was hindered something in his life that is stopping him from clearing that final step? Like say the switch to the door is 2metres off the ground, and our dear hero is only, sadly, 1.2metres tall? Try as he might, there is no way he can reach the switch. Barring any abnormal arm lengths, tools that he can use, item he can stand upon to enhance his height. So is he not destined to claim his reward? Should it be his fault, or even his undoing to be stopped dead in his track, with that final door to his dreams? I mean, we cannot decide how we are born, and we cannot choose how we are born. Right? Despite him clearing the toughest of tough obstacles on his journey, we will just have to say to him, " Hard luck, buddy. There are some things in life that we cannot control." Will others we can, it might just not be the time, yet.

I don't know why, but I am reminded of Mark, Juliet and Peter. If you know what I am talking about. :)

*edited :)

/recount show

Haha. Ok. 1 week. Where should I start. I can't even remember. Help me if you can. Haha.

Ok Tuesday was running day. Run run run. Endless run. Run run run. Slope slope slope endless slope. But good. Supper was even better. Haha. Makes you feel like you did something useless for the sake of doing it. Oh! And then there were doughnuts too! :)

Wed was spent with the sister unit. Topped off with a Japanese dinner. Fatty salmon belly soup. Fatty salmon belly! Yum.

Thursday? Mexican dinner @ Holland Village. Harry's followed. Endless alcohol, beer, drink, peanuts, laughters, stupid moments, silly moments, nutty people, crazy friends, nice friends, real friends, true friends. Not forgetting drunk friends. The last is priceless. Actually they all are in their own way. :)

Today. Heroic OS with Leon. Supper at night. Damn full.


Ok sometime random. Sometimes, songs like this make me jealous of people who can play musically instuments.

Want to learn can DIY here

In this farewell 
There's no blood 
There's no alibi 
Cause I've drawn regret 
From the truth 
Of a thousand lies 

So let mercy come 
And wash away 

What I've done 
I'll face myself 
To cross out what I've become 
Erase myself 
And let go of what I've done 

Put to rest 
What you thought of me 
While I clean this slate 
With the hands 
Of uncertainty 

So let mercy come 
And wash away 

What I've done 
I'll face myself 
To cross out what I've become 
Erase myself 
And let go of what I've done 

For what I've done 
I start again 
And whatever pain may come 
Today this ends 
I'm forgiving what I've done 

I'll face myself 
To cross out what I've become 
Erase myself 
And let go of what I've done 

What I've done 

Forgiving what I've done



*ringing in my head, What I've done ... *
