Take my hand, we're off to NeverNever Land.

Expectations

It didn't turn out too bad actually. After all there were a couple of glitches along the way. We did get over them thankfully. A bit of trial and error from some imperfect information, some last minute topography skills, a lot of brazen thick-skinned querying from natives, and a couple of dishonest cab-drivers later, we emerged smiling, awarded with a few good buys, of course. And then some.

So. Turns out Graeme and Daryl are related to this close friend of Mum's. That I only found out today. There were a couple of birthdays this weekend. Have a fruitful year ahead you guys.

Had a good Friday night surprisingly, and tonight was not too bad either. I bumped into dirtyman Sijie. He's looking good these days. Must be due to the recent Civilian Conversion Course he went through. Yeap, soldiers, quit drooling. Our buddy here has ORD-ed. No longer a NSF, but an NS-Man. Lucky guy he is.

Anyway. There's sth I gotta comment. I've always been a strong Al-Azhar fan since my days in JC and I go there almost every weekend even though I'm in the army. But tonight the Nasi Goreng Thai Pattaya was totally not up-to-standard. I was there looking forward to it but it was simply disappointing. But I swear those guys are making big bucks. You know I always make a point not to diss any of those waiters off. You never know what they might add to your food. We're oblivious to one mouthful of spit. I'd probably do that if I was a waiter that got dissed. But ah well, maybe that's just me. Not everyone's as evil as I think they are.

Anyways, a couple of random shots of my beloved checkered bin (there's a love story to it). And then some.

I was at miyagi and a wave of disappointment swept over me (see his most recent article posted on Nov 16th). I guess Big Brother's really got his eyes on all of us eh. Even for the most minor of things.

Slipped back home from camp cos I miss the Bed. The past few days have never been busier. Think I'll catch a movie tonight, at home.

Went to JB yesterday for some cheaping dimsum and some Perilly's hahah. The air was much worst as we crossed the customs over to the side of our friendly neighbour's although my feet felt much lighter than it was before. It's just relaxing to go over to JB la. I just cancelled roaming so no one can reach me, unless I'm at City Square. M1's sunshine seems to be able to reach that part of JB so yeah. That's the thing with human beings. We yearn for something good yet lament and complain when something good actually happens. Not good at all. Anyway, we spent most part of the day in JB bought some cheap stuff ate some even cheaper McDonald's and had some not-so-cheap starbucks. All good. Saturday night, well, was a blast. That's that.

I didn't have tuition today so I slept in then went for lunch with Mum. Went to get a haircut and ended up buying 2 Trexis after that while I was stoning waiting for the guys to come down. Sometimes you gotta catch the hint when God's trying to send you a message. I swear He was trying to tell me something today. Wanted to get this watch on the cheap at a shop. I saw it last week. Turns out when I went there today, it was gone. Yep. Then there was this CBGB tee i wanted to get but was always too broke to, finally today I made up my mind to get it, guess what, someone's copped it already, in true Fourskin Hamburglar style. So yeah.

Anyways. Talking about haircut. I finally shaved. No big deal really, but the thought of shaving didn't really get to me until Mum asked me at lunch today.

Mum: Eh you going for the vagabond look or what?
Me (blur): Huh what.
Mum: Why haven't u shaved?
Me: Oh.

The thing is, I really wasn't keeping a goatee or beard or moustache or whatever on purpose. I just wasn't in the mood to do anything lately that's why. And it's weird. So after that monosyllabic conversation I made a mental note to do the deed when I got home.

Ah, enough of this already. I must be sounding like one of those bloggers I mentioned before. Better keep still there already. Anyways, looking forward to the end of the month, I'm hoping it wont't be an overrated long weekend though.

Good week ahead y'all. Especially those in the midst of exams.

An apt song for the weekend. (only the title I guess)

Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy
Living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning, rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing someday it'll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you

And you may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Oh, come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow, driving slow.

Yup, that's right. I saw Rose McGowan tonight.

fresh from recluse 14:07 [+]

I gotta let you guys in on something. It's been bugging me for awhile and I'm afraid I can't hold out no more. It's this girl, she drives me crazy I tell you. Gets me all nervous and excited and whatever word in the dictionary that describes those two feelings I mentioned whenever I look at her.

Yeah, that's her I'm talking abt. Mischa. Marissa. Whichever name you guys know her by.


So.
I just got done watching the first 4 eps of OC (thank you very much John Tan). By the way quite charming of you to save some of the stuff under BASEBALL season eh. I always thought that was an excellent middle name for you. Don't kill me if you happen to read this. So where was I. Yeah. I was watching OC and I inevitably got reminded abt sth abt myself. A sense of deja vu hit me real hard and good. Till now it's still one of the things that still bother me. Though I must say this year has been quite a year. Eventful to say the least. I'd do anything to get back to where I was, just so I could undo this ONE thing. That. Yeah. Well, that's an assumption based on hindsight, and historians never do that. They know that history repeats itself unless you learn from it. And yeah. I'm no ninja but I'm certainly a historian. There's that.

Can't wait for the baseball season to be over.
