Eternal torment: The Search

Monday, October 30, 2006

Terribly sorry for not updating earlier. anyways, just came back from having lunch with jumx. It was crazy since we were like on opposite ends of this tiny island. i had a bloody long 4 hours break so I contacted her for lunch! At first we wanted to go to Swensons but it was a wee bit too far. So we ended up at Bugis!

Had lemon chicken and chee kwee. Goodness, I haven't had em in YEARS! It was great catching up; kind of like to make up for the missed opportunity during the openhouse. Hearing about some people's results were rather heartbreaking. Can't help it if I feel bad for them. Nevermind ya? There's next year! JIA YU!

Now I'm back in school.

Now, the updates from weekend. Let's see...this year's visiting with the entire family wasn't all that great. It was rather frustrating at times since we didn't have a plan. ARGH. At first, we had decided to miss certain houses but in the end, we went to them. Overall, I managed to get around $250 for the first week. Haiz...The perils of being old.

Gotta end it here. :)

Firstly, I'm now unofficially 18! Thanks to jumx and shidah for remembering!

Now, this year's raya was rather subdued compared to the previous ones. Could it be because of the impeding exams? I'm not sure. I still have the spirit in me though; albeit it's dampened. Did last minute shopping when I realised I couldn't fit into my old ones. Yes, I admit, I'm just too lazy to buy new ones annually. But you know what's shocking? The night of raya (essentially last day of the bazaar), you know how much prices dropped?!

125 kebaya for a MERE 25! Fucking cheap! Can you imagine the prices of other things then?! ARGH...next year perhaps?

Day 1's collection is continuing the downward trend. Haiz...oh well. Gotta get used to it. In my opinion however, the worst bit was the fact that we ended TERRIBLY early! We used to go out until at least 11pm. This year, we actually came back at the ridiculous time of 8.30!

At least my awesomely bad craving for curry and serondeng and sambal sotong have subsized. Okay, I still yearn for them a bit but it's not as bad as the night of raya!

Now, on to today. The instructor/lecturer/coach guy was v nice. Learnt how to serve for badminton BUT you know how I'm terribly not inclined to sport...couldn't even hit straight. And missed so many shuttlecocks. haha. Oh well. At least it was fun!

What I dislike however was what occured after our game. Loy, Dan, PC and I played a short game after class. Anyways, went to the male toilets/shower rooms...God. I don't know how to survive NS if I can't even look at a normal guy undressed. Bleh. It's just so...gross? Whatever. Art is one thing, real life is a completely different matter! *shudders*

I'm SO thankful that I had a racket with me to block such disturbing views and the toilet's layout is such that it has some hidden places.

Went for CATS after freshing up. It was strangely rather fun. You know what's the best part? My group discussed about one of my favourite pet topics- GLTB! Whee!!! For the first time, I wasn't just the one supporter! We were equalled by the usual anti ppl who can't seem to understand but nevermind. Then found out that this guy is actually Indian although he looks SO malay! Haha. Guess one can't judge anymore.

Did my Digital Graphics Application homework. I LOVED how easy part II was. I did it in ten flat! But I had a problem with part I. After a while, I just couldn't be bothered. Oh wells. As long as I pass. (and make my inner perfectionist bitch scream and torment for a couple of weeks? Hmm...)

Just downloaded Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata, which I've been looking for such a goddamn long time!

Can't believe I was absolutely shagged yesterday i was dead by 9. (Could be earlier for all I know - lost all sense of time!)

Anyways, to update, on Wednesday I had this module called Sports and Wellness. Essentially PE. Bleh. Firstly, confession time! I've skipped some PE lessons by staying in class...okay, I did it like twice. Which was very, very unbecoming and bad due to my post. If not, I would have been at the bball courts, gossipping and watching the guys kick a ball around with Xiang Wang, Wenfeng, Linh, Tran, Jacintha and Farhana. Goodness, I miss those times...

I'm digressing - for this module, we had to choose a sport. Since space was limited, I'm rather thankful I managed to score a seat in badminton. I would have just shrivelled up and died if I got into soccer or basketball by default. You know what's strange? That basketball was the most unpopular sport. I thought it was a popular sport but I guess wrong. You should have seen it! Three entire rows, fully dedicated for basketball empty and all the other seats filled with people mulling around, desperate to find a seat.

Had this module called CATS. I'm uncertain if it has some of its roots in IPW. I hope it goes well though - I dread a repeat of brainwashing. Oh yes, to those unlucky p6 in my pri sch, I bid you all the best and pray that you get out with your brain intact.

Thursday was just hilarious. Had an ultra dry lecture concerning plant maintance (which has little to do with plant TAXONOMY). Then followed Loy, Minyi, (who have thus attained sisterhood! Bwahaha. Two more to add to my list of...wait. How many do I have now? Can't be bothered to count now. Too early to think - it's 5.30!) and Charlie's Angels. (Alisa, Clara and Jaclyn) to Holland V. Managed to hold a very colourful discussion. Hehe.

Took a cab to Botanic Gardens because we couldn't find the bus stop. To make matters worse, we found ourselves hopelessly lost at the Gardens! *facepalms* Sanity was thrown out the window as we tried to find the damn school of horticulture. Come on, don't we need signs too?
We were sweating profusely, our legs ached, (my tummy rumbled) and the sun was just being evil to us. I swore I was about to collapse. In the end, we just waited for the class to get us. (All the time, I was of course, panicky; we were late like no tomorrow after all) Thankfully it's the last Thursday during the fasting month. One more similar day and I would have been in a comatose state.

Yesterday was perhaps, the worse lessons ever - computer lessons! Sure, I adore comp lessons, particularly when Mr Chua was teaching but now...argh. I just can't stand the roly poly guy who doesn't seem to have a strand of kindness within; shall not elaborate further. Perhaps, I'll tell you face to face but hey, I may have forgotten all about it. Anyways, toyed around with Adobe Illustrator and MS Word/Excel. I like using Adobe Illustrator but come on, his pace was rather slow; okay, slow was an understatement. MS however was rather perplexing. Who in the world would use MailMerge in real life? Not me for sure. Still, useful skill to pick up. Now I just pray Amirul can find his CD and contact me before Wed.

After lessons, headed to PS. It was a blast with Loy and Minyi! Went to Daizo and this new shop (which I totally adore). It sells papers! (That looked so retarded! but it's true.) Loy left to meet his friend at Tampines so Minyi and I went to some other shops. I saw The End (the last book in A series of unfortunate events) and I freaked on the inside. I read a few pages but it just didn't made sense to me. And of course, read parts of Jason Hahn's book; he's my favourite columnist for 8days. I loved it so much, I think I'm gonna buy it. But only after I finish reading my borrowed books. (Currently, I'm 3/4 way done with Die Leiden des jungen Werther otherwise translated as The Sorrows of Young Werther)

Headed to Carrefour after John Little and Marks and Spencer. I guess my sense of direction was ueber bad - I didn't find the escalator heading downwards until Minyi asked someone.

It was just hilarious as we played with the hats and masks. And Minyi scared a passing customer just by turning her head! The grotesque masks were really freaky...can't help it but I kept thinking of RL Stein's story about the Haunted Mask. It was about a mask that would assimilate itself to you. I was so relieved each time the masks came off. I know, dumb Khairul but hey, can't help if imagination takes its hold on you.

Since today is the festival of lights, I wish EVERYONE

HAPPY DEEPAVALLI!

And no, I won't post pictures Gerome. I have no idea how you came here but yeah. I'm a writer, not a photog! Though I wish I was...

I am so thankful that classes were cancelled today. I woke up at noon today in a groggy state of mind.

Did some more cleaning but my room is STILL one humongous mess. Come on, what'd you expect? Of course, I got so tired just repairing my swivel chair (okay, so I just glued the fabrics that were coming off) that I feel asleep until just recently.

More cases of illegal downloading have emerged. Damn it. I can't wait until I'm old and rich enough to leave here for good. It's just that Singapore is getting too authoratative for me. Too much rules and regulations. Sure, security wise, it's been likened to the Geneva of the East but come on, I wouldn't want to trade freedom of speech and some basic human rights for that. If you're still scratching your head, trying to figure out which human right is being curtailed, look no further than an arcane and ancient law inherited from the Brits. The freedom of sexuality.

Oh yes, so I'm digressing. Back to the issue. Stop using Limewire, gnutella, Donkey, Imesh, Kazaa or whatever 3rd party programmes. At least, not for the time being. It's too risky. But then again, download if you want to. It's your choice ultimately.

We are now living in a very tumulous and troubling times. I was rather shaken by NKorea's possible declaration of war a few days back during the UN summit. It's not a thought I would like to entertain but I have a feeling it's something that will be occuring more often as times go by. While I like that apathy is decreasing, it seems strange but I yearn for those days of being sheltered from the world, the days when all most people care about were more superficial things like sales in some departmental store or something.

And I pray Indon fires die soon. I can't stand it already. If tomorrow I have to run or something, I won't. I'll WALK with a facemask on if needed.

Holidays are officially over; no more mulling around, trying to figure out how to spend one's time - everything's taken care of. This semester is definitely more packed than the first.

Today, had Chemistry early in the morning. Chemistry...ah...MC. All the memories, both good and bad. Remember being kicked out of the chem lab for that water fight? Hehe.

Oh yes. Anyways, it was terribly embarassing to note that in a span of less than a year, I have indeed returned almost everything back to my educators. I totally forgot definitions (which I remember cramming into my brain late into the night daily) etc. *facepalms* Don't kill me okay Bryan? At least I can recall what to do for titrations! But calculations, heh, I think if I didn't have to use multiplication in my life, I wouldn't even have remembered my 1X timetable!

Anywho, the class gained two new members. Technically, they share one or two classes. One of them is this nice girl with a unique English name; Ebellia. (Is that how one spells it?) Upon hearing the stories, it feels like I'm perpetually stuck in some loop- AND Sec 3 & 4. Seriously, the whole fun versus serious issue.

Was made into the new class rep. Why is it that it seems like I get such roles without volunteering? Whatever. Let's pray I stay strong. *rolls eyes*

Gardening wasn't what I expected. Who am I kidding? Got my hands dirty (check), touching soil (check), butchering plants (triple check!) As much as I find it rather vile to touch bare soil without a glove, it was actually kind of fun. Hilarity ensures when our soil started to resemble pieces of faecal matter.

Still, I guess just catching up and discussing one of my guilty pleasures in life is the highlight of the return to poly. (Sounds likes some C grade horror movie flop with terrible lines and a senseless plot).

I hate the long 4 hr breaks. It's too much of a stretch for me. Thankfully, we went to IMM. It was fun I guess. Especially since there was someone to "torment". *cackles* Can't help it if I'm a wee bit inquisitive. Okay, I lie. I'm kaypoh. PERIOD.

I'm guessing everyone was bushed after the whole day. I was too! Had a splitting headache on top of that. I'm so thankful that the panadol was invented! If I had to boil the bark of the willow tree to get my paracetamol, I would have just cracked my head open with a cleaver.

The final episode of Grey's Anatomy was beyond words. And it was my 2nd time watching it. And I actually didn't cry! Perhaps, it was because I was already prepared for it. They recommend 1L of tears, a real tearjerker. (Double entredre)

The best bit of school? When your lecture AND practical is cancelled. Yup, you read right. I'm not pulling thee legs. It's for the 17th only but at least it's a well needed break.

I NEED to start perusing my books ASAP. But I'm sleepy...can always do it later.

Firstly, my deepest and sincerest apologies to the following people: anyone whom I didn't get a chance to meet like Jumaiyah and Bryan. If only all the JCs were close by...oh well.

Started with Vj, proceeded by Aj and Cj. After that, it was a lost cause. And I bloody left early! And I only got a gdie bag at Vj! :( Missed out on Aj's magazines. Haha.

Vj was fun as usual; party central more like it. Smashing swordfight though. And Shiyun, loved the map. God, I missed my ex- classmates so much! Xiang Wang was so cool! Tran daoed me though. And Shidah was my gracious host. Needless to say, I had a great time.

Aj was more of a reunion than anything else. Met Badarina (whom I've lost contact after sec 3), Ching Yee (congrats girl! and happy early bdae!) and drum roll...Sandhya! God, I totally didn't expect her! I don't know if I left a bad impression though. Oh well. At least met Jules, Nizar, Suren, Nike, Huddy, Jeya, Marc, Dean, Rosie, Wei yee and a couple of others. Wanted so desperately to meet Yee Wee. Haven't met him in ages. (By that I mean since P6) I want to see his new hair, his newish persona...well, everything I guess. Damn it. I pray I can meet him by next year.

Headed to Cj. Goodness. I'm rather thankful I didn't select it! And Sean kinda freaked me out. Haha. In his words, "You're probably wondering why I'm all propaganda shit right? Because I am propaganda shit!"

Met my dear Regina. Of course, plenty of catching up to do. And met Bern who's like my new idol. Cool lass. Found out about ppl like Baizura, Katie etc. Then met EK! The other main draw was supposed to be Kenny but the guy left. Hmpf.

Headed home after that. I was too bushed to head to NJ or SA. (So apologies once again).

And everyone sends everyone their love. (There. So much easier no?)

I hope I can meet the rest one way or another soon.

Oh yes. My dad told his friend that I'm a HLM student. Now I've got a potential job offer as soon as I graduate. It feels kinda weird though...

Anyways, headed to Geylang after a birthday celebration (twas my cousin's). Goodness; it was sheer madness; headache inducing! Cathartica (vomit inducing) too...I just hated the entire trip. I was extremely dizzy and close to fainting by the time we decided it was time to leave. And we barely saw the whole place. Given the chance, I would like to go again but only when the crowd size is similar to Orchard's size during off-peak hours. Best bit? We only bought water. YUP! JUST WATER which we could have bought off the shelves at your friendly neighbourhood Mamak shop or at a convinience store like Cheers and 7 Eleven.

I'm just dead tired now. I have not done a single thing to prepare for tmr's possible test nor for Mon.

My eyelids are getting heavier by the minute; I'm forcing myself to stay awake to end this entry.

Okay Morpheus! Come and get me!

Today was the day I FINALLY went down to Sim Lim to do some budgeting. It's something I should have done a long long time ago...damn procrastination for being my buddy.

Anyways, headed down to HC to see some people. Sure, I didn't get a damn goodie bag (I'm SO not upset...ok, just an itsy-bitsy bit) but hell, es war wuenderbar! Endlich, I got to see Siowyi after SO LONG! God, I missed her a whole lot. (Like I miss the rest of you people)

I think I squealled when I saw her. Or was I shrieking? I'm not sure but she has changed a lot! She seems so different; most likely due to her new hairstyle. She looked so mature! Met Melissa after so long! And she was sitting pretty like a doll! And Zhi Kai just totally shocked me. I didn't even spot him! And his crew cut hair was so...let's put it this way. I'm just not used to seeing people with very drastic hairstyles. Kind of obvious huh?
But the real 'adventure' started prior to reaching HC. I got off at the wrong bus-stop; thus I had to walk the entire stretch to reach the front gate. Ueber tiring!

Wanted to head to NY after that but didn't manage to because of time constraints. Then the bus bloody broke down; it stalled for a good five min or so. Thus, I didn't get to see Phyllis, Karmun and the rest.

Better start planning my routes for tomorrow. Can't wait to meet Jumx, Shidah, Shiyun, Jules, Bryan, Seela, Zhi Kai etc...LONG List.

Btw, when school starts on Mon, I'll be rotting frm 11 to 1 and frm 2 to 4. That'll be some 4 hours? Can't lug ard my laptop. Will be having gardening so I pray I can find a good book. Talking about gardening, I can't believe I have to get a hat for it! Can't caps suffice? Bleh. I'm thankful I read my emails before I wanted to buff my nails. I don't want to waste my efforts so yeah. Thank the heavens for having a bit of uncommon sense! (You can't call it common sense no more; people are getting sillier each day, it's darn ridiculous!)

Aufwiedersehen!

Oh, oh. Chris Botti is coming to Singapore! All hail the sexy, ultra hot, trumpetter! Orgasm of the auditory senses might be expensive though. Should I?

Looking back at my previous entry, some of you may think I'm on some mind addling drug or something; I wish! (Prozac would be helpful at times when the dark cloud looms like a overbearing shadow that blankets the lights)

Hours ago, I did my final bit of volunteering at my pri sch. Conflicting emotions arise as a result- i'm glad that I've done my part but guilty that I'm leaving halfway during the testings. Seriously, knowing that some of them have still not managed to master their letter sounds is incredibly worrying. Will they grow up and be a bane to society? I wonder why then some parents just can't bother to do something for their child's education; perhaps by bringing them to special school if need be, read to them (it's beneficial!). While I'm not pinpointing anyone, I know that this is true; it's practically a global disease along with homophobia, xenophobia, poverty, corruption and what have you. I hope that they will do fine.

Oh yes, I totally have to put this down lest my inner bimbo strangles me and dominates for a month. There was this awesome eyecandy on the bus on the way to school. I never knew baby blue could make one look so sweet! What? I'm on a shoestring budget! (If the person's decent looking, it ain't half bad...kinky slash! haha. Listen to me: Slash is good! :P)

So back to more sane, less idiotic discussions. The whole issue with illegal downloads has made me a bit skeptical, okay...truthfully, it feels so Big Brotherish. How in the world do they track down who downloads what files? If what some say it's true, then if even small fry are caught, does that mean that someone is looking into what we download? (All you closet porn addicts watch out you hear!) How does the R-I-something-something (Seriously, Singapore and its obsessions with acronyms) know which files are music files and which are not? Do they track down dlers who use the conventional ways of using bittorrents or 3rd party software (often filled with plenty of spy and ad wares) like Imesh or Kazaa OR do they track down who downloads what from upload sites like megaupload etc? It's a question that's bugging me incessantly for the past few days. Perhaps I'm being unnecessarily paranoid but come on, think about it. It's kind of like having a stalker. Creepy. (and at the same time flattering)

And back to the all important politics. I'm worried about the increasing Islamophobia in Europe. For those of you who are clearly apathetic, here's the gist of it. Veils may be disallowed because it's a "physical barrier". *rolls eyes*. Seriously, I used to support the idea until I realised that it's a choice. A BLOODY DAMN choice. If Christians can choose to wear or not to wear the cross, then why should a muslim not be allowed to wear a veil? Perhaps she feels more safer behind it?
Who are we to say that we should ban this and that just because we fear the unknown? What next after the veils? The turbans? In an apocalyptic post-911 world, the global community must rally behind the idea of multiculturalism and acceptance. We must make an effort to understand one another and accept that we are all the same beneath our skin. Look past the largest organ and you'll see the same thing underneath. Red blood. No one has white, black, rainbow blood or whatever alternative blood colour right? (With the exception of bizarre medical mysteries) While I understand that we need to prepare ourselves in case of another case of terrorism, we should realise that they are actually laughing thier asses off at the world scaring itself. The more we argue, fight, the more ammunition they have to falsify their claims for the need of a war.

And in a tit for tat for tit incident, the Danes have once again angered the Muslim world. While I disagree with their actions, I am even more ashamed of what some Muslims are doing; throwing Molotovs and stones, rioting and what have you. If we want to present a respectable, positive image to the world (of imminent importance in today's troubled times), shouldn't we be doing the correct thing by condemning whatever acts and have an open discussion about it? And it applies to ALL people. If we disagree on anything, shouldn't we instead be talking about it instead of being apathetic or worse taking "revenge"?

How long more must history repeat itself for us to KNOW that sometimes, by not fighting, it's the bravest and strongest action we can take? That an eye for an eye would only make the world go blind? We've been championing, chanting the world peace mantra that it's practically made a ridicule. Yet, all of us yearn for that day when we can live together in peace and harmony; in a state of near utopia. (Utopia can NEVER exist due to different people's view of it)
So why the hell are we taking such counterproductive actions?

Goodness. Give peave a chance. Don't just sing it. Embrace the message.

Stop this whole fucking war. I'm just sick of it.

Goodness, for the past few days, it seems as though the realm of fantasy and reality have merged; the lines between them have blurred. I don't know if I'm going crazy but lately, I can't even tell reality from a dream. Everything is so confusing now.

I've been wanting so long to write a nice little entry on PDRK (North Korea) and the bloody nuclear bombs but I guess I have to postpone that. I am NOT functioning on my normal level when fasting. I'm betting I'm gonna fall ill some time soon. Bugger.

Shall end of here for the time being until I feel better to write. Btw, I actually bought two shirts when I swore I won't buy a damn thing. Damn sales. Now I have an itch to go to town and buy this cute pair of sandles, some pants and most importantly shoes! I have no idea how many shoes I have now. They all start to look the same after a while.

Is there a 12 steps programme for television shows (or to be more precise, telly dramas)?

I just spent about a week watching Goong, (princess hours, palace or imperial household, whichever you prefer). Now my eyes are hurting so bad, I can't use my specs to see the computer screen. (It burns...it burns...ARgh...my eyes!)

With the impending festive occasion round the corner, the house is in a flurry of activity. Ok, so it's just my father and my mum. I swear my father has rather eclectic taste in home decor. Who else would have thought of painting the storeroom door red? (still incomplete and looking more and more likea bloody barn door the more I stare at it) And who would paint the sewage pipes bright yellow?! (I've been avoiding the restroom solely for this reason but I don't think I can last much longer).

Before I proceed on my very short diatribe concerning the freedom of speech issue in the blogsphere, here's a friendly reminder. Start whipping out those face masks. The haze is expected to stay for a coupel of days more. *sniffles* Yes, I'm gettingaffected by it.

Of late, there have been many issues concerning the legalities in the blogspbere. Govts, companies, even schools are worried about the misuse of blogs.

Firstly, people who wish to slam others should do so discreetly OR putting the entry under private view. There is no need to smear someone else's name in your online diary. Sometimes, people just need to share sensitive information with friends over the blogs. If so, may I suggest moving to livejournal.com and use its friends only option? Yes, you can even select which friends can view your posts if it's THAT sensitive a post. I know I did.

But that isn't the issue at hand. What I am also very concerned about is that in using words, some have forgotten that one can't fully convey sarcasm online. Even if you put it in italics, some buffons will still take it at face value. Remember the Mr Brown saga?

I can't believe I'm doing this but I'm just gonna get straight to the point. Just watch what you write and you'll be safe.

Now, for another matter at hand. Remember to mark down the calendars for the upcoming Chingay to watch a dozen MPs ridicule themselves by being who they aren't. I understand that political parties want fresh blood but this isn't the way to go. Be who you are and you'll be able to connect to some of us. Admittedly, you can't connect to everyone but with a dozen MPs with varying influences, you'll be able to attract diff types no? I don't get why the whole world suddenly seems to want to appeal to the youth of today by holding gimmicks and such. You know what's worse? They keep thinking hip-hop is SO in with youths. Sure, it is for some youths but not all of us honey. I for one dislike hip hop...some would say I detest it. Ok, I totally forgot what I was about to write. It's been happening rather frequently of late. Perhaps it is due to watching Goong for too long. I'm even dreaming of new plots.

I can't wait for next week. I'm still charting my paths though. Haiz...wonder if I can make it to all the JCs that I want to visit. Oh well, to all promos survivors, congrats once again!

I'm feeling all Zen-like and calm after writing the latest chapter of my baby which hasn't gone through stage two though (further editting). I pray this feeling of inner peace will last for some time; I'm not sure if addictive is the word but it is a satisfying feeling.

For the past few days, I've been doing absolutely nothing. I've tried to compensate for it by forcing myself to memorise this list for plant taxonomy but it ain't working. Seriously, I think I'm just gonna let things slide for now. That reminds me, I need to get my chem book out for quick revision. Bleh. Promos are over (Congrats to the thousands of promos survivors) but my sch term is starting. (SP on the otherhand has started some time ago or something.)

Today, I came early to help out at the school lib. Gosh, I just miss the general atmosphere: serene and quiet (at least until the children arrive). I can't help but wonder why some of the older ones don't seem to get the "This is a library" message into their head- they were practically playing hide and seek! I was rather mad but thankfully, they were in for only 20 mins or so. Spent most of the time, shelving books. Ah, I can't help but gush about the satisfaction of arranging the books. Sounds like I'm turning into an OCD sufferer huh?
Oh well.

I'm just gonna end of here before I start to ramble about some utter rubbish. Wait...oh yes, look for the next entry. I promise to write something about libel suits in the blogsphere. Just not now. I'm wayyy too drowsy from lack of sleep.

Tschus!

The academia life will soon start rolling. October is here and I've barely touched my notes. I pray hard that the meeting is held this sat. Therefore, I can make it next Sat for jc hoppin! Bwahaha. Ok, I'm being nuts, partly because I've been watching Goong (princess hours) lately.

I can't help but bemoan the many ill timed events that will soon be held - Hari Raya. I was barely able to maintain my composure when I found out that Chris Botti, one of the 50 sexiest people according to some gossip rag, would be performing a one night stand in Singapore.

First, Buble, then Jamie and now Botti?! Am I cursed to not be able to listen to them live?

Seriously, Chris Botti's mastery of the trumpets is orgasmic inducing. Let's just say I melted listening to his uber sexy, romantic rendition of one of my all time favourites, When I fall in love. (The damn CD isn't even in Singapore. Thank god for the internet) But place Botti and Buble...oh, my ears yearn to savour that delight live.

As the holidays draw closer to the end, I've realised that I've not accomplished some of my goals. Like seeing all of Dali's works, (I only saw two) writing one chapter/poem a week, going to the zoo, having lunch with Jules, etc.

I have to force myself to look on the bright side of things - at least I've got 18 reviews for my story, meet my best friend. Oh well.

I detest it when I'm forced to sleep at 12. It's frickin early. It's no wonder I'm stuck and still suck at writing.

I've realised most of my posts of late have not contained any posts on the world at large, other than a passing remark about Thailand. So I'll just write a few of my thoughts down.

I'm a wee bit disappointed when the new Thai PM was the retired gen. Like I said, a long while ago, it's getting eeriely familiar. Oh god. I wonder how Nat is doing in Philippines. With the storm and all, I hope she's okay.
