Got back from Danny's chalet a little while ago. I'm so nice and fresh and showered. *Luxuriates in clean sensation*

Yesterday sure was crowded. If I had to list.. Me, Dan, Adrian, Jonathan, Jim, Bryan, Alicia, Shen, Sean, Nat, Gi, Heinz, John, Kris, Qiuhua, Huishi, Pamela, Kenneth, his girlfriend Eunice, Liling, Hashirin, Dan's friends Edwin (Preacher) and Sonny (Bloody), Amanda, Fiona, and their boyfriends, and I think that's about all. Imagine, we all squeezed inside that little chalet. Oh, by the way? Costa Sands sucks. Poor service, poor amenities, cramped space, they downgrade you for no apparent reason, and all that for $250. Yeap. So don't go there.

I spent (almost) the whole of yesterday sweating over the BBQ pit. I think I'm getting better at cooking BBQ style. I dunno, I like having people praise my cooking. Iron Chef Barbeque! Sounds nice. My arm has a cramp from prolonged usage of the tongs. Ouch. Satay, Otak, Chicken, and my mum's potato salad all disappeared in a flash. And then it was back to the grill for me. I should start advertising my services as professional barbequer. Only $10 an hour. ^_^

I didn't eat that much yesterday either, though. Shen had that honour. >_<

So me, Dan and Bryan stayed over while everyone left. I dunno, I'd have thought more people would be staying over. Slept fitfully and woke up (like I always do) at about 930 in the morning. I really can't seem to sleep past 10, no matter how hard I try. Bummed around for about 3 hours, waiting for Gi and Heinz to come to claim the latter's phone, and then finally piled into a cab with Dan and Bryan to go on my way home.

Ah, I needed to wax lyrical for a moment. Now that THAT'S all out of my system...

Woke up super early today to get ready for CCC presentation. You all know what disaster happened, but we managed to get through it without too much trouble - I think Ms. Chuah took pity on our woefully underprepared group. =D

After that, slacked around in school a bit to loosen up - one more hurdle was cleared! Then I somehow took about 4 hours to bang out quick script for Single Cam, then it was off to Bugis with Maddy. Satisfied my comic fix (Soldier X and Exiles are great stories. Pity Soldier X's been cancelled. Sigh.) then went to go meet Dan and Jon at Bras Basah to eat and talk crap. Then, followed Dan as he went to Sasha Bear's to buy some bears for his female friends, then made our way to @omix. Watched Maddy squeal in delight over Anabelle, then went to the Lucky Plaza branch to see what I could get for Danny's birthday (Enjoy those BoP figures!). Then, went home supremely tired.

But happy!

"Don't argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."
Day was pretty half-and-half today. First off, Joel doesn't show up for the presentation even though he promised. I'm really tired of people making empty promises. I know it's kinda naive to think that there aren't any such people in the world like that today, but at the end of it all you still wonder why it has to happen to you. But then again, we can't say where/who/what we will end up with. All we can do is try to work our way toward some kind of better tomorrow. Cause, you know, good things come with working hard. And stuff. People who take things for granted? They'll learn eventually that they can't have everything. As we all do. Everyone has to live with a certain amount of disappointment in their lives - armours them for harsh reality.

But if you can turn that around - why not? I've always believed in the yin and yang. There's a certain balance in life that not many notice. Chances are, many notice only the bad things that happen to them - but never the good things. We all tell ourselves we want to live our lives for these moments, but chances are you miss out on the small stuff, the kind that really keeps our lives going. Small blessings are blessings nonetheless. So your ex girlfriend hooks up with someone else and leaves you in the dust - most would be left cursing, swearing and generally bitching a lot. But if you really did have any feelings for her, you'd be happy that she'd found someone that she can be totally happy with. Especially if she's been with that someone else for ages, and you've had no one but yourself for that 2 years since she left you - I feel happier that she's happier. And isn't that what life should be about? When I go, I want to die without regrets - that I'm happy with the way I lived my life. No ruing missed chances or opportunities. Complete 100% user satisfaction.

"I was told, there's a miracle, for each day that I tried/I was told, there's a new love that's born, for each one that has died/I was told, there'll be no one to come along, when I'd be alone and afraid/I was told, if you dream of the next world, you'll find yourself, swimming in a lake of fire"

Just a little tinkering around with the Blog before I go to school. Sigh.
Just came back from eating buffet dim sum. Yummy. And I'm amazingly still feeling full. Went down with Eddie, Rachel, Shen and Ling. It's like 16.80++ for free flow green tea/ice lemon tea and as much dim sum as you can stand. I might just go back.

Earlier on in the day was left to shuttle back and forth between mine and my neighbour's house to upload the stupid website which I cashed in my joker for. Only managed to upload the thing at 12 p.m., and thus I decided to stay home. Playing WC3. Heh. Anyway, when I finally decided to leave for school it was about 2? Then reached around 3. Handed it up, found out I was going to STTV (Straits Times TV) for my SIP, and told Ms. Hoo just in time. Ms. Hoo incidentally, was keying in the different placements for SIP placements. And if I hadn't told her, I'd be ending up at NKF Public Relations. *phew*.

Anyway, hung around in school for about another 10 minutes, and tormented Fiona's group who was still rushing their website. Heh. Then left for TM to meet Shen, Ling, Heinz and Naz. Stoned around for a while and found out Heinz has information on EVERYONE. Seriously. You ask him anything about anyone in CMM and he'll probably know some scandal or another. That's seriously scary.

Anyhoo, went to @omix in Orchard MRT later with Shen and Ling, hung out there for a couple hours. Bought some comics, then went to Pacific Plaza to eat the nummy dim sum. Then left, and here I am. Ta da.

Got off the phone with Maddy just now, my ear is burning. Sigh. I think my battery's gonna melt sooner or later. Lord knows it's already halfway there.

Oh man. When I said I could relax a week or so ago I was so wrong. It's been nothing but website in my brain for the past few days. I'm all done anyway. Well, more like couldn't be bothered to do anymore but it's almost the same.

Watched Johnny English in the morning. Good old laugh out loud Brit humour. Really original jokes, too. Watch it! You won't be disappointed.

On that note, Monty Python > you. Damn. I really have nothing at all to write about on this blog. Makes me wonder why I keep it. Oh well. Then again, I haven't stepped out of the house since I got home on Friday evening, so I guess that more or less explains it.

Till my next boring, blank, filled with nothing update:
