escaping mundanity & normalcy..

[rainy.. comfortable.. yet bored..]

wasn't really in mood for clubbing last night..
giving it a miss at Mdm Wong instead.. kind
of surprising for some of you?? I hope not..
hahaha.. maybe it's those heydays in poly
that create this image of mine.. clubbing
practically week in.. week out.. working at
the once illustrious Canto.. even way till my
NS term.. so on.. and so for..

but the thirst to club seems to have quenched
off lately.. couldn't figure out why this is
happening.. maybe to club more than once in
a month seems too much for me now.. be it
mentally or financially, which I strongly think
it's the latter.. that affected me this way.. =p

ironically, I've went back to work for the past
2 weekend.. Saturday only.. which is something
that I've not did since way back in September..
hard to explain why.. but there are reasons
behind reasons.. nonetheless, it's for my own
good to earn a little more.. =)

there's a Food Fair going on at Expo.. thought
of going.. but to go alone seems a little bored..
due to this indecisiveness.. I'm sitting here.. by
the window.. typing this.. thinking of how the
food would have taste.. instead of making it a
reality.. Great Singapore Sales in on going too..
but it will only begin for me after my pay day..
hahaha.. what's a sales when your wallet cannot
afford what you want? probably won't be a
shopping spree for me..

feel like watching Madagascar.. maybe going
catch it one of these weekdays.. or probably
weekend.. it would be much better if anyone
out there got the VCD/DVD.. and I can just
borrow it from you.. hehehe..

the month of May is about to end.. got to
endure another freaking month before I can
collect my first ever mid year bonus.. but
there's a possibility of losing it.. which I don't
think I should dwell into it now.. afterall..
possibility is just something that is yet to be
confirmed.. just wait to see how thing goes..

hmm.. yearning for those days back in
schools.. where things are much more
simple.. life is much more carefree.. =)
youth is a wealth that depreciate against
time.. but as this wealth begin to empty..
wealth of knowledge starts banking in..
you win some.. lose some.. contented..

some activities taking place recently.. don't
really know what it will turn out to be..
keep my fingers crossed.. looking forward
to Colin's wedding in two weeks time.. =D

I miss the Sun, the Sand.. and the Sea.. it's
been quite a long period of time since I get
some sun bathing activities.. everyone is
getting a bit of lazy of late.. weather haven't
being really nice too.. hope this rainy season
end soon.. I need to get some tan back.. =p

maybe I should catch a little nap.. don't
waste such a cooling weather.. hehehe..

TaKe CaRE!!

sometimes.. I really wonder how many people
are reading this space?? should be within counting
fingers.. or something like that.. bored huh??

[古巨基 - 爱与诚]

was helping someone to find some
Leo Ku's cantonese songs.. come
across a few that catches my ear..
this is one of them..

I'm not a cantonese.. neither do I
actually understand the language
well.. but.. cantonese songs are
still much more catchier than
mandarin.. anyway.. music doesn't
have any borders.. just listen.. =D

[sorting out.. mind..]

"Be without fear in the face of your
enemies. Speak the truth, always,
even if it leads to your death.
Safeguard the helpless and do no
wrong. That is your oath"

this is extracted from the movie..
Kingdom of Heaven.. something like
this will probably not happen in
modern time.. where people will
abide by their code.. or oath.. it's
a place where generally people will
only care for themselves than any
other thing else.. because try being
someone good doesn't alway pay.. =p

ok.. was quite bored yesterday..
instead of waiting for the dinner
which suppose to meet at Taka S.C
on 7pm.. I make my way down to
Tiong Bahru Plaza to catch the show..
guess not a lot of people will choose
to watch this kind of movie.. this can
easily explain why the theatre was
pretty empty.. hahaha..

only Adeline was there to meet for
dinner.. everyone else got their own
activities elsewhere.. went over to
Cineleisure to meet Leo and Suz..
KST meet us shortly after.. went to
Partyworld for our 4 hours of non-
stop karaoke session.. almost 3am
when I reach home.. but only be
able to fall asleep at 6am.. wonder
what keeps me awake.. wonder..

time seems to pass by pretty fast..
coming to the end of another long
weekend.. yet nothing much has
been done.. what is to be done in
the first place leh?? hahaha.. =p
the next public holiday will be way
till August.. the proudest day of
our little island nation.. another
gruesome 2 months of wait.. why
there isn't any other in between?
I'm greedy.. give me more holidays!!

short week ahead.. not planning
for anything yet.. perhaps should
plan for something where I can do
it myself.. since organising a meet
up with the rest become quite a
hassle nowadays.. long story..
maybe it's time to find someone
to share my time.. hahaha.. big
hope.. small possibility.. =D

[蔡健雅 - 优先权]

darkness still looms somewhere out there..
but there's always a source of light that will
be there to guide you out.. some has already
found their very own source.. some still in
the process of searching.. but there will never
be one who doesn't entitled to any..

why is it so?? because we don't live in vacuum..

[徐若瑄 - 狠狠爱]

hmm.. Sunday a.k.a sian day.. hahaha..
how great can this be when in our mind..
it keep reminding us that we are going
back to work the next day?? haiz..

well.. over the weekend.. wasn't really
bad though.. meet up with KST, Leo,
Suz, GuoYao and Adeline at Bugis after
work on Friday.. went Sim Lim to buy
MMC card for my handphone.. move
over to Bugis Junction.. but walk over
to Raffles City soon after.. because the
Levi's voucher that Leo has.. can only
be used at the boutique that.. had our
late dinner at Burger King before going
home.. quite tired.. been walking all
about the whole day..

Saturday.. mum's birthday.. watch
I Do I Do with my sis in the morning..
did not go anywhere.. wait for mum
to finish work.. went Tiong Bahru for
dinner.. as usual.. only me and my sis
will share the bill.. but as an act of
courteousy.. I did ask whether he
wanted to chip in or not.. no prize for
guessing the correct answer.. =p

had Fish Head Steamboat.. the soup
base is simply yummy.. order the
garoupa one.. wanted to order the
pomfret initially.. but my dad can't
take.. so we settle with garoupa loh..
but not as bad too.. order some side
dishes too.. sambal kangkong.. crispy
spring chicken.. hokkien noodle.. and
the special fishball that goes with the
steamboat.. my dad was actually quite
surprise about us coming up with this
idea of having our dinner there.. it's
been a few years since we last had
a meal there.. =D highly recommended!

meet KST, GuoYao, Ah Wee, Adeline,
Heng and Mei at Double O after that..
wasn't really sure what's wrong with me
the whole night.. is it because of the
troubling stomach of mine.. which has
been kind of torturing me for the past
couple of days.. or the niggling knee..
or.. I wasn't really that sure too..

at least.. I'm pretty entertained by the
rendezvous between GuoYao and Xiao
Wei.. hahaha.. almost had my delicious
dinner all puked out at first.. shall not
go into details though.. the few of us
just couldn't stop laughing at them..
think they are making more and more
new friends over there.. had supper at
the Chinatown porridge stall before
going home..

woke up in the afternoon today.. kind
of feeling rather lazy.. send out some
job applications.. watch tv.. listening
to songs.. just laze the whole day away..
don't feel like doing much also.. for
some reasons.. not a lot of thins can be
voice out here.. where people will say
I shouldn't have meddle which another
person's choices.. but did that person
ever care?? he never.. and never will..
the sight of him.. makes me irk.. but
I still got to face him for the rest of my
life.. do I have a choice? No...

shall stop here..

[Janice - Love Me Accapella (你得愛我)]

tolerance limit has increase another
degree towards boiling point.. almost
blurt out all those known vulgarities
earlier.. that tyrannic attitude of that
erratic creature is creeping up my
nerves again.. somehow his ego has
already brainwashed his conscience
thoroughly.. that those working for
him are actually fresh and blood
humans.. even machines have
limitations.. hopeless.. I need a new
life line.. anywhere.. just get me out
from this unbearable hell.. I give a
deadline of August 2005.. got to keep
on looking out for that life line that
can bring me away from all these
nonsense.. =p

[李玖哲 - 影子]

well.. weekend gotta be over soon..
feeling kind of refresh.. even though
I'm pretty tired from last 2 days of
activities.. but feeling much more
energized in the end.. weird.. =p

meet up with the usual gang at City
Hall on Friday after work.. walk
over to One Fullerton for dinner..
Adeline suggested Bakerzin (known
as Baker's Inn perviously).. went
Esplanade for a while before going
home.. need a good night sleep for
the next day trip to Malaysia..

woke up at 7 in the morning on
Saturday.. get brush up and left
home to meet up with Leo, Suz, KST
and Adeline at Bedok MRT.. took
bus No.2 to Changi Village.. went
to the ferry terminal to get our
tickets to Pengerrang.. eastern
part of Johor.. took a cab down to
our intented destination.. Si Wan..
world is kind of small.. even saw
one of my secondary school senior,
Jeffery over there.. he was on his
cycling expedition to Desaru from
there.. went back to my friends to
order our lunch.. Steamed Garlic
Lobster, HongKong Style Steamed
Garoupa, Deep Fried Butter Prawn,
Fried Octopus, Mixed Vegetables
and Yam Crustle.. what a meal..
only paid RM250+ for such a fare
of delicacies.. worth going again.. =D

can't say that the dishes are superb,
but very much worth the money we
paid.. don't think you can find such a
price for the same amount of dishes
if you are to order in a Singapore
restuarant.. besides food.. practically
there's nothing much on the town..
walk around for a while before heading
back to the jetty.. went back to Changi
Village.. had desserts at the hawker
centre before taking No.2 back to Bedok..
Leo and Suz alighted first.. before KST,
Adeline and me alighted at Bedok MRT..
while the both of them went home.. I
alighted at City Hall to change to another
train towards Ang Mo Kio to meet up
with Chee Wee, Willy and Patrick..

went Patrick's house to watch soccer..
one of their weekend activities lately..
but was only my first time there.. watch
the match between Chelsea and Charlton..
played Winning Eleven on his PlayStation..
well.. I'm just so lousy in playing games..
not my cup of tea I guess.. =p

watched the latest episode of Initial D
before going to sleep.. only to wake up
almost noon today.. rainy day.. such a
nice weather to slack in the house..

hmm.. dad not feeling well again.. hope
he'll be fine.. it's Mother's Day today..
no celebration though.. she got to work
afternoon shift.. while my sis on full..
guess I'll just leave it till next week to
celebrate her birthday.. =)

got to buy dinner to them..

[The Calling - Wherever You Will Go]

hmm.. the thought of writing something
here.. but somehow couldn't put them
through words.. unable to draw.. let
to say narrate it out through voice..

can't seems to focus my mind.. matter of
fact.. I don't even have any ideas whats
going on.. dread of daily routines.. the
everwishing wait for a call.. a call which
might bring me out of blue.. hopefully..
the unintentional blurt of words.. leading
to dilemma.. flutters my almost domant
heart.. towards specialisation.. or to
diversify my knowledge.. all these can
go on and on and on.. to the point where
it will still go on and on and on.. hahaha..

complicated right?? well.. it's just for
my own reference when I want to take
a look back on how foolish.. idiotic..
whatever you want to call it.. when I
move into another phase.. or whenever
I need a laugh.. hmm.. crazy? perhaps..

One Fullerton tomorrow....

on my side.. same goes to my 4D

[Stacie Orrico - There's Gotta Be More To Life]

somehow or rather.. in the matter of fact..
the title of this song is pretty true.. in times
when we faces certain edges in life.. give
ourselves a breather.. try narrate this short
but meaningful sentence into our mind..
things sure won't look as pessimistic as it
seems to be.. =)

well.. hopefully I could apply this more
frequently when I'm down.. hehehe.. =D

marathon in my mind again.. shrug..

[Keane - Everybody's Changing]

it's good to be enjoying a long weekend..
even though it's Sunday.. there is no
grunchy feeling off going back to work
tomorrow morning.. what makes this
even much better is.. there's 2 long
weekend this month.. =D

the week passes pretty fine overall..
avoiding conflicts in work.. went for an
job interview on Wednesday.. bought
a new phone.. test myself out on the
soccer court again.. so on and so for..

changing job?? well.. most probably..
I can't possibly keep complaining about
my current job right? if the environment
can't change me.. then perhaps I should
change environment instead.. =p
will be waiting for their response on
this coming week.. only two way out..
either a new phrase start for me.. or
just keep sending applications.. =D
chronicle of an semi-optimistic guy..

owning an O2 XDA II Mini is a dream..
but Nokia 3230 can make do with it..
since I don't really need such a
sophiscated phone at the moment..
really impress with the amount of
functions that are available in this little
shell.. worth the money spend too.. as
I only fork out less than $300 for it.. =)

went testing out my knee on soccer
with my buddies earlier in the morning..
the verdict is out.. given the amount of
pent up enthusiasm in me from the
self inplemented isolation.. the knee still
give way during the game.. well.. it doesn't
really hurt a lot.. just a bit demoralised..
4 months of muscle building during those
physiotherapy session.. i'm still no way
near to where I'm use to be.. perhaps I'm
taking it too fast.. just have to be a little
more patient with my own progress.. =)

a short working week ahead.. follow by
another wait for long weekend.. life is
no where sweeter at this moment.. for
the lay back emotion beats anything
else.. slacking is definitely there for me
anytime.. anywhere.. =D

heading down to Holland Village later..
will it be Breko or Wala Wala this time??
well.. either will make do for me I guess..

TaKe CaRE!!
