Yesterday was fun fun fun under the sun!

Woke up kinda earlyish (for me, around 9.30). Messaged the kitten good morning as I always do, then I bummed about the house a bit until Bryan came over, to pick up some of my brother’s books for his Battletech campaign. He stayed till about 11, then I left the house at about 12 or so, with a bag of my mum’s potato fritters in hand, for Tiong Bahru, to meet Maddy, Mitzi, Ling and Jim.

Got there slightly late at ten past 1 and noticed kitten and Mitzi eating Old Chang Kee. Kitten was eating some deep fried squid thing (blech, tentacles), and Mitz was eating some Sotong balls. I thought that we were going to leave immediately for Sentosa (I was impatient to go tanning. Hee.) but then was told that we were waiting for Heinz, Jason and Kenneth to come down. They came about 10-20 minutes later, and then had lunch. Following that, it was off on the bus to Sentosa! We reached there soon after, and then I helped Maddy, Mitz and Ling buy their tix. Boarded the Blue Line bus for Siloso, on our way to meet Adrian, Huishi, John, Kris, Lynn, Lili, Liling, and all. I went to the toilet to change into my trunks, while me kitten applied some sunblock (or was it suntan?) lotion on herself. After I came back from the toilet, we waded in the water for a while (really, really nice refreshing and cold change from the hot sands), splashed around a lot, swam a little and stuff like that.

Then, we all decided to walk (or wade) to the nearby lagoon where the last time we were there, Kenneth and Jim had their ‘roll down the sandy slope’ competition. Jim won that one, incidentally. Some of us swam to the opposite shore to suntan, and I tried (unsuccessfully) to get the kitten to swim over. She stayed with Lynn while I swam over with Jim, Jason, Heinz, Ling, Mitz, Adrian, Huishi, and Kenneth. We all applied liberal amounts of the oil, with guru Adrian instructing most of us of the more strategic places to apply it. Haha. Then, we lay down in the sand, like beached whales getting roasted, with Jim keeping time. “Okay, turn!” *everyone turns over* This happened every 10 minutes, for about half an hour. Haha. Oh, Jessica, Heinz’s friend came over to our side with her Dark Tan SPF 0 (Which I didn’t even knew existed). Oh well, I shrugged. Back to tanning.

Saw with Blurry Vision™ that the girls were over on the other side, in a circle, but I’m not too sure what they were doing over there. Gossip and other things I’m guessing. =p

Eventually, got tired of lying in the sand and went into the sea to wash off. Started playing Frisbee with Jim and Jason, pointless but still fun. We kept setting new conditions (Catch with left hand! Go back further! Etc) until we got tired of it. It was fun with Kenneth heckling Jim whenever he caught the Frisbee. Play by play commentary! Kenneth is funny. So then, we decided to swim back over to the other side to dry off and eat some food (Jim and the others played mahjong. Hardcore they are) and my mum’s potato fritters disappeared in a flash. Kitten noticed I was bleeding a little from a cut I mysteriously obtained, and cleaned up my wound for me. Its little things like that that really show how much a person cares for someone. Hee. I love you too darling.

That was at about… 4.30 or so. I went off to a nearby pavilion with the Kitten, and was enjoying her company when we saw a peacock coming closer and closer to the pavilion. We were watching it bemused as some girls were staring at it from behind. Haha. It came ever closer to us, like about a meter away, before it ran off since the girls behind it came closer. We thought it was looking for the peahens, which it eventually did. To our delight (and the girls’ delight too apparently) the peacock began to spread out its tail feathers. It shook it’s booty a little to attract the peahens, but none came over to it. The girls were happily taking photos of it, but when they tried to pose with it, it kept running away. Hahaha. Serves them right. Jason was watching this spectacle with us as kitten teased him about having the tail feathers too. =p

Walked back to the tables where everyone was, as kitten went to bathe. I watched the guys play, and I learned a little about Mahjong. (Still not gonna be joining any games soon, though) until about 6. The girls (including kitten) had gone off to the toilets to shower, and change, so we waited for them. Then, me, John and Heinz went over to the showers while I got some shampoo and body soap from Mitzi (Which I forgot to return. Sorry!) and walked over to the showers. They were really crowded, so John suggested that we go over to the one at Palawan beach which was like a km away. But it was worth it though, seeing as how empty and clean (much cleaner) than the one at Siloso was.

It was funny to hear John, who hadn’t brought any footwear along, complaining about his aching feet as we trudged our way over to the mystical, fabled clean toilets of Sentosa. Made our way there eventually, and then spent a good 10 minutes or so scrubbing ourselves nice and clean. I finished first, John next and naturally Heinz (in bronze goddess mode, DAMN that’s a deep tan) came out last. Haha. Me and John borrowed Heinz’s facial wash, and came out of it having our faces smooth like a sandpapered baby’s bottom.

Made our way back (it was about 7 or so, I think), with John complaining along the way again. Haha. Saw Jim, Adrian and Kenneth come out of the dirty showers, so yeah. Our investment more or less paid off. Everyone was all nice and clean, so we all decided to leave for the mainland. John and Kris, lost in their own little world, walked off the wrong way. Silly people. Haha. Boarded the bus, and we went off to Tiong Bahru. We all eventually decided to go over to Raffles City Shopping Centre so it was easier for Mitzi to go home that way.

After some walking around, we all decided (me, grudgingly) to eat at Subway. Kitten doesn’t like bread so she went to the Soup Spoon with Mitzi to buy some Boston clam chowder (Chunky!), and Mitzi bought some tangy wedges thing. I mentioned that I wanted to eat some onion rings, so kitten went off to buy them for me. I then sneaked, ninja style (okay, not really) to the florist to see if I could get any purple tulips, since kitten said those were her favourite. Lucky day, I did manage to get it (could only afford to buy one stalk, though. Sigh) so I waited back at the table for kitten to come back with the onion rings.

Surprised her with the flower, and totally loved seeing her reaction to it. I guess I just love seeing her happy. ^_^

We all finished off our food, with kitten sneaking bites of my sandwich filling (not the bread though. Hee). Was getting kinda late so me, kitten, Mitz, Lynn, and Pam went to the MRT while we bid the rest goodbye. Pam took the North route train, so it was down to just the four of us. We got down at Bedok MRT to send Mitz on the way home, to make sure she was okay. In the bus (I forgot where it was, though), kitten was telling me about how when I saw her over in the afternoon, on opposite sides of the road, Ling told her that she’d never seen me smile so much. And I guess that’s true, she makes me happier than I have ever been before in my life. And seeing her happy, well, that’s just like having everything I’ve ever wanted before 10 times over. It’s a fantastic, warm, fuzzy feeling inside when we’re both happy.

She was also telling me how about everyone thought I was a really nice guy. She was talking to Kristine while we were all in the shower, too. Being nice for me, it’s just natural on my part. Why be an asshole, that just takes more effort. I’d rather put a smile on someone’s face than leave them scowling. I do have some bad moments sometimes but it’s never out of a malicious intent of mine. I’m just happy to be alive, and to be surrounded by people I love, especially my most darling kitten Maddy. Love you lots.

Spent some time with kitten at our spot near the MRT station, then I had to leave. I wish I didn’t have to, but if I didn’t my mother would freak. So I made my way home eventually, read up my stuff online and then crawled into bed, where I fell fast asleep.

This is actually my third time blogging all this (danged circuit breaker), haha. Good thing I finally did it.

Oh well. See all of y’all around! Take care peeps.

I feel like flying. The last few days have been nothing but wonderful.

Monday: Went with kitten to go pick up some stuff from Danny. Met her at TM at about 3, after which we went over to Lycos Asia to pick the stuff up. The AIA building is cool. The lifts are funky, but you have to wait a damn long time. >_<

Dan looked a little stressed, but hey. That’s Dan, doesn’t seem to be able to live without some kinda pressure. =P After we left, went over to kitten’s house to drop stuff off, and I gave her a little stuffed puppy dog. She named it Jack. Hehe. She also gave me one of a pair of stuffed kitties so I’d have something of hers to sleep with (she’s got my jacket). ^_^

Passed each other some comics, then we went back to TM for dinner. Had a quick meal of Long John Silver’s, then went for some ice cream at Swensen’s nearer her place. Sat down, fed each other ice cream (like we always do =P). I’m still marvelling over how we can say the same things at the same time, without really thinking of it. Heh. At about 11p.m. I reluctantly parted company and made my way home. Last bus home again. ^^

Tuesday was my mother’s birthday (as well as Sean’s). For lunch I went to Merchant Court Hotel, Ellenborough Market Café with Mother, grandparents and uncle/aunt. Oof. The food there is excellent. Great spread. AND it’s buffet. Had about 2 massive helpings, then I gave up and sat there with contented belly. Later on, went for a disastrous haircut. *whimper* I’m still a bit traumatised by the whole thing. In the evening we went to the airport to pick up Dad, and also have dinner. Ate at Swensen’s. And had more ice cream.

I’m getting fat. =/

Wednesday, it was my 1 month-anniversary with kitten. I got her some chocolate and a little stuffed kitty that I’ve had for a few years. But what I got her pales in comparison to what she got me. I’m still very blown away by what she did for me… so fantastic was it. All I have to say is thanks so much kitten. I absolutely love what you did.

Then, we wandered around looking for a place to eat lunch. At first we wanted to eat at Seoul Garden, but when we got to Plaza Singapura we discovered… it was gone. Not only that but PS had had a massive makeover. Most of the things we remembered were gone =(

So anyway, we went to go eat at Café Cartel. The staff were friendly, and we both agreed the food was excellent. Their pasta is really quite good. After that, we went to Fort Canning to walk walk and admire the scenery. There was a wedding going on somewhere nearby the pavilion we were at, and we decided to check out Fort Canning Green, seeing as how that’s where the LOTR movie will be. It’s really quite nice =)

We were being eaten up by mosquitoes, so we went off to get a nice cool, refreshing, curiosity rewarding Vanilla Coke at Park Mall. Kitten bought a cute fridge magnet that had (you guessed it) a really cute kitten on it. We sat down at this strange place that charged about 1.80 per glass of soft drink (gag) then we took a bus to the Orchard MRT area. Dropped by Indy’s shop to say hi, chatted a bit, then we went to Wheelock for dinner.

Walked past Big O to see if we could see Belda (but she wasn’t there), then we took about 5-10 minutes walking around, trying to find Nooch. Eventually, we found it. Hidden in a nice little hard to spot secret passage thing. Haha. The ambience there is really cool, though. The bowls of ramen are freaking gigantic too. Too bad drink glasses are puny. Ate our fill, then I went to send her back home. Hee. Reluctantly left her company again, and caught the last bus home again. Haha.

Sigh…. I miss her.

Dos Vidanya (I finally found the correct spelling.)

Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me

Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

Haven't blogged in nearly a week! Hence this is blog lite:

19th May:

Went to school for the pre-SL workshop. Played some games and gave feedback, and that was about it. Then went down to TM to catch Matrix Reloaded, awesome movie. But just as Danny said, don't go with expectations, you'll enjoy it so much more that way. I slept at 2 a.m. that night just trying to figure out what actually happened in the movie even though I had to wake up early the next day. =P

20th May:

I woke up at the unearthly hour of 7 (gah) to go for the SL workshop. It wasn't really much, being in the logistics committee, we just did what we were supposed to and then played games in the Log Room. Ended around 7 or so, then went home.

21st May:

More of the same as the previous day, just that we ended a LOT later. (10 p.m.) Had a nice lengthy discussion with Maddy about some issues about other people (dang I hope my bill doesn't come up to too much) and then collapsed into bed.

23rd May:

After a day of rest, I went to meet Maddy, Ed and Mitz for dinner. I got to TM at about 5 or so, then found out Maddy and Mitz were already there from about an hour before. =P So we went to Macs, had some fries in curry sauce, and waited for Ed to show up. We walked around aimlessly for a bit until we decided to actually go for an early dinner at the food court at about 6.30. We talked crap as usual, some things about monkey shirts, and nothing in particular. Heh. We stayed until about 9 (amazing innit) and then we decided to leave for home. I sent Maddy home as usual, and we fed a kitty we found. We're calling her Muffy. She's such a pretty kitty. Stayed with kitten until about 11, then really had to rush or I wouldn't catch the last bus. Luckily, I did. Got home, chatted some more with the kitten, on the phone and on IRC, then finally crawled into bed at 3.40.

I don't see myself doing a lot today, so yeah. More of the same slacking and thinking of my beautiful kitten.

Until I blog again!

Niobe.

Who you are in the Matrix.
brought to you by Quizilla

Past 2 days was quite fun. Yesterday was Priya's 21st birthday celebration, and almost the whole gang went down to celebrate! Parents dropped me off at the place (place called Bangles and Anklets in Little India), and coincidentally ran into Maddy, Gi, Fiona, Heinz, Yongjie, Jim, Kenneth and Zul right outside. Went inside, saw more peeps we knew, like Adrian and Huishi, Lynn, Melissa, Lay Peng, Farah, and later on Vani, KB and Ali would join us. We had a very spicy dinner. So hot I didn't feel like going for seconds. Most people were feeling it too, so after that very quick dinner most of us were sitting around talking crap. Since the deejay that Priya had hired was pretty boring after all, we just chilled out and listened to music.

Then, they began the programme for the day. Most of it was the embarassing party games and stuff to entertain, some of which I don't have to mention. =P But anyway, suffice it to say that everyone had a rip-roaringly good time. From the quiz time to the impersonations and all, and of course the wonderful company of my darling kitten, I had a really good time. At about 11 they announced that it was dance time! But most of us were still kinda stoned, so our butts remained rooted to the seats. Soon afterwards we worked up some (dutch) courage and started dancing. Only 2 songs had finished when the deejay began playing.... INDIAN MUSIC! So about all of Priya's Indian friends were really grooving to the music, while the rest of us were trying to figure out how to dance to it. But we managed anyway =P

They closed at 12, and the princess Gi wanted to walk around, and find some place to mingle and chat for the rest of the night. But since most people were kinda tired, we walked to the bus stop instead. All the way at around the City Hall area, so we walked and walked and walked in the stuffy night air, sweating profusely, pausing occasionally for air con breaks. =P

In the end, Kitten shared a cab with Fiona, Tuesday and Lynn, while Kenneth, Yongjie, Heinz and Jim took the NR 7. Leaving me and Gi to take the NR 6. Since I didn't have to take a cab and waste more cash, sleepy and tired old me didn't mind a bit. Along the way we talked and chatted about some stuff, then I noticed I was near my house. Since the bus didn't stop AT my house, I walked about 20 minutes before I finally reached home, turned on my computer, checked my online stuff, and then collapsed into bed.

18th May

Woke up at 9 to go to school to meet Jeff, and some other Log Comm people to buy stuff for the SL workshop on Tuesday and Wednesday. That wasn't really too hard, and at about 1 I left to go meet Kitten for lunch at TM. Had some nice Swensen's ice cream, then we went walkies for a bit. Following that accompanied her to her pony supplier, marvelled at her knowledge of various ponies (you're amazing darling) then since it was about 5, we parted company reluctantly. Wish I could be with her 24/7.

And yes love, I know you'll be watching me from under my bed so I don't have to worry =P Love you.

Good night all.

Mmm.. been kitteny goodness these couple of days. Yesterday was Vesak Day, so I had to wake up earlyish to go to the temple and all. Dragged myself out of bed at about 9.30, while brother remained snoozing in bed. After a shower and change, he was still sleeping. Sigh. He ate my hashbrown too. Grrr.

So we went to the temple to pray (ours is in Bedok) to find that it was crowded as usual, and inhaled quite the bit of incense before we left shortly thereafter. The parents dropped me and my brother off at Tanah Merah MRT to go down to town, while they picked up Ah Kong and Ah Por at their place. Me and Bro reached Goodwood Park a good 15 minutes before they did, and it was already 1230. Sigh. Lunch only started at about 1, when the cousins finally arrived.

J-ren (he's the one whom most of you met at my birthday party) is the best one, he's cute in a mischeivous kind of way. Watches a bit too much TV though, he speaks with a redneck accent now. For some odd reason. U-wen is the terror. He's already 10 and he hasn't learned an ounce of social grace. The peking duck for example... grargh. He'd never tried it before, so the waitress gave him a piece of the skin to try. He liked it so much he took another 3 pieces without the wrapping or extras, and just took and took as if he'd cooked it. I think a couple of people at the table went without because he'd taken the skin. Inconsiderate. It went like that for about another hour of so.

Anyway, left at about 2 heaving a huge sigh of relief. Mum dropped Dad and Bro off at Sim Lim Square, and then we drove over to Tiong Bahru where I was supposed to meet kitten and buy food for the everyone else at Sentosa. Met up with her at about 3.10, and then bought some snacks (must remember kitten loves Campfire Marshmallows) and got on the bus soon after. Eventually got there at about 4, we took the monorail and shared it with some strangers. Reached the Palawan stop at about 4.30, walked in one direction for about 10 minutes before we realised we were going the wrong way, and then promptly did an about turn and walked towards Siloso (turns out we were at the wrong beach). Sadly, by the time we got there it was already 5 so we couldn't tan (sun was more of a sweating sun than a burning one) so we just waded around in the water for a while.

Eventually it was just me and kitten in there so we just floated about, getting knocked about by the waves and stuff. Hee. Fun. We got out, all pruny and everything somewhere around 6ish, and then went to go change. Man the queue was horrendously long. I think I got out of there at like 7 or so. Walked with Heinz to the showers, then walked back to the 'campsite' since the rest of the guys were going to shower. And they needed someone to watch over their stuff, so yeah. I waited for them for about 45 minutes, and in the meantime stoned on a stone and thought of her. Then we all left at about 8.30 to go eat dinner. We walked all the way from the visitor departure centre to the world trade centre to discover the shops were closed (it already was reaching 9ish) so we took a bus down to town, Lucky plaza and had Macs for dinner. Yum. Or something. Then took a cab home together with Nat, dropped her off, and then reached home tired but satisfied.

16th May

Woke up this morning to a message from kitten. Got up, lazed around a bit, then played PS2 all the way till 4. Then I changed and left the house to meet Maddy, Serene, Bao, Eddie, Mitzi, Jim and later on Siwei to go have coffee, sit around, talk crap and just hang out. Heh. I think the people at Coffee Bean (Centum Sa) must have been wondering what they put in our coffee to make us act so weird. From Jim the Fernleaf Avenger, to Jim the Cheese Man. To talking about disgusting secondary school teachers. To really bad hot chocolate. It's like 2 weeks never passed, and I've never seen this group so happy. We were laughing and talking and just basically overflowing with life! It was wonderful. =)

After that, we were left with Serene, Siwei, Bao, kitten and me. We went (actually it was just me and kitten who ate, the rest watched) for dinner at the Century Square foodcourt, and talked and chatted a little more. After that, it was about 8.45 so I went to send kitten home. When we got down, we saw a cat who meowed quite a lot (and really noisily too). We walked to the provision (mamak!) shop nearby, since kitten wanted to get some sweets, and we bought a can of cat food for the hungry kitty. We watched it eat for a while before I went upstairs to her place, since I needed to wash my hands and use the toilet.

Her parents happened to be home too, so I meekly introduced myself to her mum and dad (they're really nice people), took a look at where my kitten slept every night (messy room!), looked around the house, saw her bro's studio (sigh) then she walked me to the MRT nearby. Along the way we saw this beautiful kitty, had wonderful brown, black and white patches on its body. Spent some time playing with it, then continued to the MRT. I missed the train, so enraptured was I by her presence. =P

Eventually got back at about 11.30. And here I am.

Doing more quizzes that kitten posted. Heh. This is becoming one endless vicious cycle!

Did this one for fun =p

Many dream and never wake,
Another one whose love forsake
Doubly certain true love never find
Doubly certain happiness was lost.
Yesteryear is but a dream

It must be realised, throughout one's life
Lucidity or reality, they must be distinguished
Only you could cast this spell upon me.
Virtual worlds, they are but dreams.
Except that this I know, is no dream.

Yes, it's true, true love I've found.
Over head and heels, you have me bound
Unaware, blissfully, of the spell you weave.

Heh. took me a while to write that one. It's not too good unfortunately.... but I did put extra effort in there to convey an underlying message.

Woke up pretty early today to go to school to work out, unfortunately while getting ready I found out that the gym, track, and reservoir were closed. So what to do? I went to school anyway. Just to see her. =)
I hung around for various people's shifts, mainly cause I was bored. Heh. Huishi and Siwei, Eddie and KB, Mitzi and Edna. Eventually, we left at about 3 to go to town to pick up Priya's present. We being Eddie, Me, KB, Adrian, and Maddy, Mitzi, Edna and Huishi. We almost bought her a dildo as a joke, but then decided not to. After all, what if her parents found it? I doubt they'd ask to borrow it, so we got her some massage lotion that was billed as 'erotic'. "Warm when you apply it, hot when you blow!" So, happy with our somewhat less R(A) present, we went to go eat while KB and Edna went home.

After that, went browsing around various toy shops, kitten bought herself another pony, and generally we had a good time hanging out. I swear, it's such a relief to do so without the spectre of deadlines hanging over our heads. Kinda like a portable reaper. Polunin, I swear you stole a little of my soul. BLOOD AND TEARS, MAN! But hey, it's over, it's done, and now it's the (current) year ones' turn to go through shit! YAY!

So having pretty much nothing else to do, we head on over to @omix to just drop in and say hi to Indy and Co., and then we headed off to the MRT (me and kitten at least. The rest more or less headed in different directions from there). Waited for her train first, then reluctantly parted company and went home. It was a pretty long and tiring day, but I enjoyed it thoroughly nonetheless. =)

Wow. Haven't updated this for the LONGEST time. Even though it's just 4 days.

Tuesday met kitten for breakfast at Macs, then she came over to my place for a while to play with Sandy and see my baby photos. Gave her one, hung out around the house a bit before I sent her off at the bus stop. Spent the rest of the day stoning around the house a bit. Wednesday was more of the same, but in the afternoon took Kitty (the pet, not darling) to the vet to get him some medicine, and then went home. Stoned (I sense pattern). Thursday was more of the same.

Now Friday, today I met her at Bugis to shop for our comics and to meet Mitzi and Eddie, and along the way Shen joined us. We hung out around Absolute Comics for a while, then we snuck off to take a Neoprint (those card thingies) so that kitten's mum could see how I looked like. (NB: She thinks I look matured, dependable and honest. Win!) Then went to go have dinner at the V8 cafe where the root beer floats overflow like Singaporeans complain. A lot. I had the Fish and Chips while darling had the black pepper seafood pasta. Yummy, but the portions could have been somewhat larger. Oh well.

Then after that, went down to Orchard with Muddy and Shen, bought some more comics, went to Far East to follow Shen buying a beanie (whatever that is). But it doesn't look too bad. Following that, Shen left while me and kitten went to the press screening of City of Ghosts at Cine. It's not a very good movie. Bad script and cornball dialogue. The plot goes this way and that regardless of whether the audience follows. The acting was laughable, Matt Dillon was in "gritty monotone Keanu Reeves 'whoa'" mode for the whole movie, somewhere along the way he gets a love interest for no apparent reason, and people say 'fuck' a lot. Never mind plot loopholes, you still get to see some of Cambodia in the movie. Looks like a nice place. =P

After the movie ended, went to Taka to buy some aromatherapy oils for Mother's Day. I hope this gets Mum happy, she hasn't really been too happy with us these couple days. Was in the process of selecting a card for Mum when we were politely shooed away by the store attendants (closing time). So we went to sit at our usual spot, talked and chatted a bit, and then left for home.

I started missing her about the same time she stepped into the train. =/ Still, hope to have another outing like this one - provided finances hold up. Heh.

Ah.... well yesterday was my birthday. I had a fantastic time yesterday, and I hope that all those who came down yesterday had a great time too.
Thanks to Siwei, Alicia, Eddie, Shen, Kuibao, Huishi, Lynnette, Adrian, Kenneth, Jonathan, Danny, Gi, Nat, Jim, Priya, Jenny, Jason, Bryan, Sean, Leya, Edwina, Mitzi, Serene, and last but definitely not the least, darling Maddy. Thanks for making my birthday special. I couldn't be happier without you guys.

Ah... it's been a wonderful past 3 days. Starting from the beginning:

1/5/03:

Bummed around for most of the day, played some PS2 before I went to go get ready. Met her at 5.45 at the MRT, and surprised Indy when we showed up at his shop. Heh. After that, we decided to go to Cineleisure instead of Lido to watch, since Adrian and Hui Shi were there, and there might be a chance of running into them, curious and nosy people we were. =P Anyway, bought our tix for Anger Management, and we had about an hour to go eat dinner before the show started.

So, she suggests going to Lips cafe, which we do. We intended to call Ade+HS to see where they were, only to find them sitting near the window, and we didn't even realise it. *Paiseh moment*, both me and Maddy couldn't stop laughing over the whole sheepish situation. Our food there was great, we took turns feeding each other mashed potatoes. Yummy potatoes. We wanted to eat dessert but there wasn't enough time... and we were off to watch our movie.

The movie was pretty funny, Jack Nicholson really stole the whole show. Adam Sandler wasn't bad as well, but the movie had us laughing till we almost cried (well not really). It was nice to cuddle her as we watched the movie. Gawd I love her.

After the movie ended, which was about 9, we left Cine to go in search of ice cream! Made our way to that crepes place at Annex, where we indulged in a sinful Oreo + Vanilla combo. We talked and chatted, and fed each other again (we really seemed to do that a lot). Then, it was about 10.30, so we both left for home. I wished I lived nearer her so I could send her home all the time...

2/5/03

Went to school to meet up with Maddy and check that she was alright. Also did some generic opening stuff. But that really was secondary to the more important issues. Babe, I hope you'll be alright and not let this whole thing affect you. You're far too precious to me to have anything happen to you.

After our editing session was over, we rushed (and I mean rushed) to TM to catch X2. Kickarse movie. The best scene in the whole movie was Magneto's escape.

"There's something different about you..."
"Yeah I WAS having a good day..."
"No..."
*smiles*
"Too much iron in your blood."
[Commence kickass escape]




Seriously, go watch it. Although there's some inconsistencies in the movie which we comic purists kinda found odd, the movie generally was pretty enjoyable. Most of all because of the pretty lady sitting beside me, but you don't wanna hear about that. =)

Sent her home afterwards, so I got to see where she lived. It looks pretty cosy. Went back after that by train where I got approached by a couple of Mormons (ask me about it), and I got to meet Elder One. I'm not kidding about the name. Got home and fell asleep pretty fast, I was that tired.

3/5/03

Went to school SUPER early to do last minute editing. Only to find out they extended the deadline again, so yeah. Not arguing though, we're more or less done with the thing. Yay!

Met Maddy at the bus stop after that to do comics shopping. It was Free Comic Book Day! So yeah, comics and all were pretty much the order of the day. I had like at least $80 worth of comics. Maddy bought her indy titles and I bought my mainstream titles, just imagine what our comic books put together would look like. *Daydreams*

And a nice shelf with all our collectibles, her ponies, my statuettes/busts, posters, sigh....

Heh. Anyway, tried looking for a new pair of surf shorts (actually, just a pair period. I don't have any). Hint. *cough* we walked around some more, I blew more cash, and then we went to Gelare so Maddy could get her ice cream fix. I ordered a milkshake and she ordered a float, and we sat there for what must have been a good hour+ reading comics and chilling out, before we decided to go back home. And here I am now, took a nap in the afternoon so I feel kinda nice and refreshed.

Tomorrow's my birthday.... I'll be seeing her again. ^_^

Adam Sandler - I want to grow old with you

wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you


I promise to love you, yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever. I'll be there with you in good times, in bad times, in hard times, and I will always be true to you, and to me. Even when we're having rough spots, I want to be by your side. Let's grow old together. =)

I miss you already.

"Hanwei is a rhapsody of delight"

It's over, it's finally over! Exams are over and gone with, and I can relax (a little. Still have the accursed Polunin Project to settle). After the exam (see you for supp paper), hung around school, to wait for Jenny to finish the SUPER SECRET GROOMING TALK that all the girls had. Must have been traumatic, they all insisted that "it should have been for us guys instead". Shrug.

Went to Chinatown after that, to go film more footage for the clip. Walked till I got tired, then walked some more, waited for Siwei to be happy with the footage we had, and then it was off for me to Bugis to meet Maddy, Edwina, and Serene. Joel came along with me, to pass the time till his meeting at Far East Square. In amazing cosmic coincidence, ran into Hozea who joined our merry little party to town.

Upon reaching went to @omix just to check out everything, and they're moving everything over to the Orchard MRT branch. It's seriously messy over there. But hey, going back on Saturday for Free Comic Book Day. I should go early. After that, went to Alaric's at Cine with Mad, while Edwina, Serene and Hozea went over to Far East Plaza. Had a spot of dinner with Mad, then departed for home. For. Er. More Dinner.

*Sigh*

Just realised how much I'd miss everyone for the next 6 months of SIP. I feel like filming my own video, but for the whole course instead. I'll film everyone. And then make multiple copies, and distribute it to everyone at graduation, or whenever I can finish it. =p

"Do not regret what you did. Only regret that which you did not do."

Sonata Arctica - Tallulah

Remember when we used to look how sun set far away'
And how you said: "this is never over"
I believed your every word and I quess you did too
But now you're saying : "hey, let's think this over"

You take My hand and pull me next to you, so close to you
I have a feeling you don't have the words
I found one for you, kiss your cheak, say bye, and walk away
Don't look back cause I am crying

I remember little things, you hardly ever do
Tell me why.
I don't know why it's over
I remember shooting stars, the walk we took that night
I hope your wish came true, mine betrayed me

You let my hand go, and you fake a smile for me
I have a feeling you don't know what to do
I look deep in your eyes, hesitate a while...
Why are you crying'

Tallulah, It's easier to live alone than fear the time it's over
Tallulah, find the words and talk to me ,oh, Tallulah,
This could be... heaven

I see you walking hand in hand with long-haired drummer of the band
In love with her or so it seems, he's dancing with my beauty queen
Don't even dare to say you hi, still swallowing the goodbye
But I know the feelings still alive- still alive

I lost my patience once, so do you punish me now
I'll always love you, no matter what you do
I'll win you back for me if you give me a chance
But there is one thing you must understand

Tallulah, It's easier to live alone than fear the time it's over
Tallulah, find the words and talk to me ,oh, Tallulah,
This could be... heaven

Here I am. Woke up not too long ago (at slightly past 10, surprise). After reading through the other blogs that I read, most of them have some kind of deep, heartfelt reflection things going on. If you've been a regular reader (even if you aren't, keep it to yourself), you'd notice that I have a distinct lack of such entries. I don't know why. I suppose I'm not comfortable with letting people know my state of mind. I don't want people to worry about me. Most of all, I don't want people to get down after reading some reflective stuff that I do write sometimes (case in point my deleted entry a couple days ago). I'd much rather put up a nice cheery entry, and make someone's day brighter rather than depress them further with the knowledge that yet another friend is feeling down.

Maybe it's because it doesn't feel very sincere to me. Whatever I write down here self reflection wise just doesn't feel real to me. Same deal with commenting on enetation. I start writing comments for other people's lengthy self-reflective entries, then halfway through I suddenly feel that it just doesn't express what I really want to say. So I click back and feel guilty that I can't tell or help advise the person the best way I can. Things like that I need to do in private, rather than air it out to the world. I really don't understand why.

I don't want to throw up some random feelings that make this blog seem like an outlet for angst. Even when I'm feeling moody there's no way that I can remember everything that I want to write, and therein is the problem. I never like to feel that I've done a halfassed job. Doesn't really help that I'm kind of forgetful. I never really liked to follow the crowd, just because some people are writing about how things have changed their lives or their life philosophy - hang out around me enough and you'll know what that very philosophy is. For me, it's more like I prefer to keep any private reflections just that - private.

I'm one of those kind of people who prefers to sit in the corner, stone, and think about things. Rather than write everything down. Not only do I forget some things, but in writing you're forced to put things down just one way. Thinking about it allows me to put across more abstract concepts that can't really be put down in writing. I'm sorry to disappoint people who want to read deep entries about how I've grown and what I've learnt as a person, but for the time I prefer to stare at a point in space and do my thinking there. I'm just not comfortable with people reading some entries of mine, and in comments write things that I'd already know. That's why it doesn't feel very right for me. I apologise for disappointing some people.

Those of you who'd checked here about a day ago would have seen a nice long lengthy rant. I just removed it cause I was feeling bad about it, and as such I'll try not to depress all of you.

Just had my CCC exam today, most of the worrying and panicking paid off, I guess. Went straight home cause I was (and still am) feeling a little sick. Have a good one.

Remind me to go for psychiatric therapy when everything's all over and done with.
