Storytellers I think the fun part of blogging is thinking of a good title for each of my posts. I like to make it look random on surface but actually says everything about the post with itself. i remember before, one criteria of my blog skin would be to show the post title to make it complete. sometimes i laugh when i look at my list of posts sorted by their titles; the titles bring back a rush of memories. I need to spawn some $ soon for a leather jacket and 'water-proof' shoes. i HATE getting wet and having to go on with the day so it's high time i bought a back plan in case of circumstances. i cant outride the rain clouds all the time yea. i've just watched Coldplay in Storytellers and in this short concert, they give a short background story of each of the songs which they play. it's comforting to know that musicians are still human when they're down-to-earth.in essence, they're all just singing a part of themselves. i think i looped the scientist like 10 times, but it never gets boring. i sometimes do wonder what i'd be like if i had heard this song when it was just released, a different set of memories would have been attached to it. that's what happens when u loop a song incessantly, it gets tied in to your life like a theme song to an episode. i don't really like to go to school, the thought of it happening again and again for the coming years is frightening really. i wouldn't say that i'm commitment-phobic, but let's just say i wouldn't enjoy looping every semester till 2013. but yea i guess nobody said it was easy Saturday, October 17, 2009 @ 1:06 AM
A slight rain comes, bathed in dawn light i like it when it rains. in spite of the pouring of raindrops which pitter patter on your window to a crescendo that may startle some, I on the other hand am soothed by it. sadly what can work for you, can work against you too. i was sorely greeted by HEAVY rain en route to school this morning, and i dont know how else to put it but when you're going at 80km/h on a bike and it rains, the raindrops feel like FUCKING BULLETS that STING YOU TO DEATH till u seek DAMN SHELTER. drenched in a downpour (on a highway) without shelter in sight ranks among my Top Ten most Depressing Shits that can happen to you. it's possibly 10 x more demoralizing than losing Torres to injury, but not as bad as seeing Lucas work his ass off to naught. so I simply waited out at a bus stop on West Coast Misery Road till the rain subsided. I had to go solo lecture with Multiple Integrals as i waited for my socks to dry, but in the end my wrinkled feet were salvaged by mh's Thai socks. dang it's time like this i realise the importance of investing in a raincoat, though im still very discouraged to ride if the road is wet. at least i won't look half bad if i get a badass leather one |) *sponsors are deeply appreciated* the other day i happened to be with Hanlong's friend whose crush 'happened' to walk by and this ignited a flurry of emotions followed up by disappointment. she was saddened by his smoking habits but that isn't what i wish to speak on. i feel she's probably waiting for the right moment to seize the opportunity and 'grab her kill', but i realise there is no 'right time'. you shouldn't need the 'right time' or a 'chance' to succeed. simply if the other party has feelings for you, ANYTIME is the 'right time' eh? Okay so your efforts appear more polished if u plan ahead, but if that's what u need to work it out, then anything less would make u feel insecure. and dang insecurity may cause your efforts to backfire entirely in the long run. I only say this because i believe a relationship is the only way you'll really know who you love is what you desire for in the long-term once she realises she no longer has any reason to hold back. That's probably why break-ups are the few perfect things in this world, as my friend has quoted before. But in the end, who does not want to cherish a good memory worthy of speaking in times of despair? Wednesday, October 14, 2009 @ 11:37 PM
Gravity Pulls on You and I I just found my indie cheezcake bistro over the weekend. you dont need 5-Michelin-stars fantastic food or a attentive and punctual service crew. rather all you need is a name hard enough to pronounce on a road less than 5 people in Singapore have googled for. surplus of lobo seats is always a plus point too =) i just finished my first programming tutorial cos it's my turn to present in class. hope i manage to smoke everyone and appear like i know what i'm doing, cos seriously programming has been quite a bummer this season. i have not been practising diligently as my other fellow programmers have, but the light is not so dim in this tunnel of turmoil as i had expected so all i need to do is 1 x last good one when it's Showtime! i've clocked 3 months of road time with my bike already, and so far it's been pretty smooth. i realise it takes much effort to persuade me to take the public transport now, as a bike is indeed the ultimate tool of convenience. i've a bad habit of thinking i get anywhere in 10 mins, and true enough on a good day i can. i plan to buy myself a ducati in the future when i get a paycheck i can actually spend at the present, but that looks like a long road ahead. speaking of spending, my mother has this warped logic of saving by spending. she proclaims that if she doesnt buy something that is on a discount, she wouldnt GET to save on that discount. now i've heard plenty of warped logics thus far, but dang my mother is spinning her own tales in her own world. i guess everyone has their own gravity to draw to.

There Are Unknown Unknowns So i did remember my blog's username and password. guess some things are just not lost in memory, for better or worse. i think it's better to keep my entries short and sweet so that i wont be discouraged to write all the time nor discourage others to read as well. i've lost any sense of coherence after the many months of absence too, at least my greymar and sparelling is not fail me. my recess week blew past just like that, it was a blackhole of time really. before i knew it, i was reading my tutorials on a very late sunday night. i still have this 'e-learning' week to salvage my homework if my backlog doesnt overshadow me entirely. or is it just the looming dark clouds... it finally struck me that mexcel is off this craphole island(for better or worse?) when i had this hesistation to ask him out for soccer on sunday night. there wouldn't be a resposnes yea. so i ended up watching the game at the new 24hr coffeeshop with this random 'bangla' worker as i ate beef rice. the atmosphere was pretty muted for a coffeeshop, but i guess there werent many punters in the crowd. at least meiji milk saved the day as i trudged home thereafter. dang sunday night sure arent the same anymore. bye bye mexy. |
